Shabu Shabu----Delicious and Fun Japanese Style Dinner
Interactive. It is a word that has become very common these days. One of the best uses of it is in the phrase, "interactive dining experience". These days, good food is only part of the experience. Service, certainly. But the majority of diners these days are looking for a fun experience. Something not just served to eat, but a dining experience where you participate in the prep of your meal, as well as sharing and comparing. One of the best examples of this is shabu shabu. It is a Japanese expression that means "swish swish", describing the way you actually cook your meal. It's fun for two, and much more fun for four. And as at a sushi bar, there are regular conversations about what the person next to you is having, the sauce they like, the sake……..and they might be with someone you've never met.
Southern California has several of them, concentrated mainly in Gardena, Little Tokyo and Orange County. I've been to several and they each offer a slightly different experience. For the ultimate experience, however, I keep going back to Shabu Shabu Bar in Tustin. Located in a large strip mall, the place catches your eye as you drive up.
It is good to show up early, because even with two huge bars inside, there is still usually a wait at dinner hour. With that comes a warning-----this is not a fast meal. It's a time to have fun, savor good food, visit with friends, try some new things and laugh with everyone. This is an exceedingly popular place, and with good reason. There is great food, a lively crowd and lots of excitement in the air.
We showed up around 5:30 on Friday evening. We were promptly greeted and led to our friends who had already arrived. This was a chance to teach some newbies of the hoys of shabu shabu. They had already ordered their sake. Shabu Shabu Bar has a whole sake book, from ten dollars for a carafe of cold sake up to $145.00 for the super-premiums. Cries of "Kampai" (cheers) and other toasts and we were on our way.
When you sit down, you notice several things. Two dry bowls, one empty and the other with black and while sesame seeds and a pestle so you can grind them as finely as you like (I'm a texture kinda guy and just give them enough grinding to release the oils in the seed). Right in front of you is also a hot pot filled with boiling water.
Your shabu shabu chef fills the empty bowl with ponzu, a lemon and soy based sauce. The sesame bowl gets their house-made shaubu shabu sauce, a thick rich sesame paste and soy dipping sauce that the blending with the seeds makes your own. But wait! You can add to either sauce some extremely hot Japanese pepper drops. A more mild shaken condiment with Japanese and shisito peppers mixed with ginger and seaweed. And each pair of seats has between then a little condiment dish filled with scallions and crushed garlic, ready to bring it the sauces up to your taste. This is definitely the land of "Have it your way".
We proceeded to order some appetizers. Perfectly fried gyoza dumplings came first with a nice dipping sauce.
We also ordered a large steamed edamame, the soybeans not only dusted with the usual salt but slso some hot chili powder that definitely took it to the next level. They went great with the two orders of sake that we shared. As opposed to sushi bars, most of the sake here is ice cold. It's very refreshing and very sippable.
As with many places like this, it's a golden opportunity to try different things.
I ordered the platter consisting of thinly sliced prime beef with some awesome Kurobata pork.
Two of my companions ordered the beef and shrimp combo, with the rib eye beef and gorgeous fresh shrimp.
The other one ordered the chicken platter.
Mind you, these are not cooked yet. You will be the cook. My prime beef had some amazing marbling in it.
The shrimp looked delicious too as did the chicken. Overall,the choices run from ribeye steak for $17.99 to prime steak, progressing upwards until you get to the true Wagyu beef for $145.00. Oh, I do want to try that ome day!
Our veggies cane first. Some sliced Nappa Cabbage, carrot, onion, spinach, tofu with a different type of Japanese seaweed on it and even some carrot. There was a gorgeous spiral-cut mushroom cap and decoratively sliced scallion. Also on the platter were fresh udon noodles, not to be touched until the end.
The harder veggies such as carrot and some of the cabbage pieces went in first. After a few minutes in the "Jacuzzi" some of the cabbage pieces could come out, ready to be dipped in one of the two cool sauces depending on your tastes. I enjoy interchanging them. There was also a choice of white or brown rice with the meal. I've seen shabu bars where you are pretty much left on your own, but here the shabu shabu chefs make sure that you know how to do it. They help you with the sauces, suggest which sauces go with which meat and vegetablesnand generally made th novices in our party feel comfortable as they learned how to "shabu shabu".
The meat platters showed up after we had started the veggies. This is really where "swish swish" comes. In. You don't want to overcook the beef, fish, chicken or shrimp. You take a piece, swish it in the broth, and when it's done to your liking, into a sauce and then your mouth.
This is where it really gets fun, trying your neighbor's shrimp or giving a piece of pork to someone you don't know.
You can make your sauce spicy, garlicky or plain. It's your choice! Just keep dipping, swishing and eating. Eventually you'll only have the noodles left.
Well, you're sitting back, pleasantly stuffed. No room in the belly. And then the shabu shabu chef asks if you are ready for the soup!
This is where the chef again shows their expertise. They take your noodles and cook them in what has become a rich broth from your meat and veggies. Some spices and special sauces are added. Soon, you are presented with a bowl with a delicious udon soup. Your mind tells you that you are too full for it, but as soon as you take the first sip, all is forgotten.
Every bit of soup disappears, seasoned to perfection.
Your shabu shabu experience is over. At least until the next time!
As we laughed, and walked towards to front door, we wove our way through a large crowd , waiting on a rainy night to get in. It was a perfect evening for shabu shabu.
And when you have that craving, there is no finer place than the Shabu Shabu Bar in Tustin.

I made some sugar veil lace that I want to attach to buttercream. Do I just stick it on when the buttercream is still wet or is there a way I can attach it after the butercream has crusted?
the sugar veil people can take good care of you
i would just a take a little bit of leftover dried sugar veil and place it on the uncrusted buttercream
and see if it dissolved
then i'd just test it a bit on crusted bc
but the sugar veil people are very helpful and quick to respond
AIt will adhere best if your buttercream has not crusted.
Thanks, guys! Bakers wife, SugarVeil sticks to any surface (including you). If the buttercream has crusted, you can moisten the back side of the SugarVeil decoration just a little bit (a slightly moistened fingertip is the best vehicle) and it will stick readily.
Do let us know if you've any further questions. One of the best ways to get our attention quickly is via our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sugarveilicing (and there's also lots of great cakes to look at from all different parts of the world) - thank you!
I made the mistake of using piping gel!!! Don't do it! Everything is so sticky it rolls up on itself !! So I used my homemade sugar glue. Only very very lightly however. It's easier with the buttercream NOT crusted but if it is u can ever so lightly brush the sugar glue over it and brush it on the buttercream.
Hi Doodie - All we use to adhere SugarVeil to any surface is a tiny bit of water on a fingertip touched to a few places on the back of the SugarVeil decoration, so you might try that, too. Everyone has their own way of working with SugarVeil, but normally it'll stick to just about any surface as-is (without the moisture) with a tiny bit of pressure.
The drop-down list under the word "Create" here on our home page shows many helpful tips as well: www.sugarveil.com.
I use Sugar Dress rather than Veil, but I'd imagine both work very similarly. I ice my cakes and chill them…probably not necessary but I like the firm surface when trying to attach something so that it isn't so easy to mar.
I take my lace, place it face down on a clean hard surface, then pat all over the back side with a damp paper towel…not too wet, just enough to sort of moisten the lace. It will adhere really easily this way.

Gary Milner will be joining real-life wife Sally Ann Triplett in the smash hit musical MAMMA MIA! at the Prince of Wales Theatre from tonight, 11 June 2012. Milner, who will play Sam Carmichael opposite Sally's Donna Sheridan, most recently appeared on stage playing the title role in Pericles at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
Milner's other recent theatre work includes Love Story at the Chichester Festival Theatre and the Duchess Theatre, The Crucible at the Open Air Theatre, A Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar Warehouse, The Music Man at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Parade at the Donmar Warehouse, and Evita at the Adelphi Theatre.
Also joining the cast from 11 June are Neil Roberts as Harry Bright, James Gaddas as Bill Austin, Charlotte Wakefield as Sophie Sheridan, Andreas Gyllander as Sky, Abiola Ogunbiyi as Ali, Tasha Taylor Johnson as Lisa, Steven Oliver as Pepper and Liam Doyle as Eddie.

From West End to global phenomenon, the London production of MAMMA MIA! has now been seen by more than 1 in 10 of the entire UK population. It is one of only five musicals to have run for more than 10 years both on Broadway and in the West End.
Last year, MAMMA MIA! became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Chinese in the People's Republic of China. The show opened in Shanghai in July 2011 with a Mandarin-speaking cast and heralded a new era of musical theatre in China.
With music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken and musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch.

The May issue of Bon Appetit is on newsstands now, and in it is an article by writer Nathalie Jordi titled "California: Food's Golden State." The article chronicles her roadtrip through the state:
"What, though, does food culture actually look like in today's California? Who's setting the new trends there now? And how will they affect those of us living elsewhere? Behind the wheel of a glossy, purring Mercedes C350, I set out to investigate, tracing a route from Marin County to San Diego. After the 46 meals and conversations I had with the cooks, ranchers, cheesemakers, winemakers, restaurateurs, waiters, grocers, and farmers I encountered on my weeklong 1,300-mile peregrination, I felt enlightened, bronzed, hopeful, ready to move to California—and just a little crowded in the gut."
Shameless plug of Mercedes aside, the article doesn't seem to shed new light on much (in it, she mentions Bi-Rite, Bill Niman, Coi chef Daniel Patterson, Ubuntu's Jeremy Fox, Andy Griffin of Mariquita Farms and Celia Sack, owner of Omnivore Books, even getting Patterson to state "The overarching theme seems pretty clearly to be a movement toward redefining how we grow and raise our food." No kidding!). But I'm trying not to be jaded. Outside of our bubble (which she sums up during a visit to Bi-Rite as "a happy cliché of California culinary privilege, a sort of happy utopian foodie future") these discoveries and developments may well be news. In which case, I should say, welcome to the club, folks. We've got it good here.

We all know someone (or are someone) who prefers to drink their calories than eat them. Not only are they a regular at watering holes across the Hill, but their home bar is better stocked than several of those bars. Well, you don't have to leave the neighborhood to get me them a present this year!
Obviously, your first stop should be Schneider's. A bottle of wine is always nice, but a bottle of Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth is a great gift for any serious home bar. Schneider's also has a wide variety of interesting bitters, which make an excellent stocking stuffer!
If you don't want to help stock your friend's bar, maybe you want to help them perfect their craft. Wisdom is offering two cocktail classes in January: An Intro to the Martini on January 12 and An Intro to Collins/Rickeys on January 26 you'll be able to register online soon at The GINtender, owner Erik Holzherr's blog.
You're probably already headed to Hill's Kitchen, which means that you can pick up any number of gifts that Leah keeps in stock for her customers who like to imbibe. My absolute favorite of these is the Sodastream, which allows you to make your own soda water and mixers at home. You can also pick up a set of Takeya Swirl Plastic Tumblers, which are great for parties and outdoor use – or anytime you don't want to worry about breaking the good stuff. They're like grown up red keg cups! Hill's Kitchen also has some nice stocking stuffers in the form of stainless steal wine keys (if you can't open a bottle with a wine key, you shouldn't be drinking the wine!), Vin Rouge Red Wine Stain Remover, Built NY Six Pack Tote (aka The Beer Purse) and Tovolo Jewel Pop Molds for making boozy popsicles this summer!
Of course, these friends would also probably appreciate a Hangover Kit: an easy trio of gifts that you can get at Harris Teeter – Goody's powders, Milk Thistle, and Alka-Seltzer!

You might think, Gin and wine? Is that a typo? No, it is not, it is actually a new creative Gin! Ferdinands Saar Dry Gin comes from the famous German wine region "Saar", and therefore it makes sense, that also a portion/infusion of wine is part of this Gin.
Actually the total amount is only 1-5% of the final product, but that is enough to give this Gin a fruity note. Additionally 30 other botanicals are used for distillation, including lavender, chamomile and quince. The result is a floral Gin that has his very own character. You can buy Ferdinands Saar Dry Gin now in the Gin section at ALANDIA. Cheers!

Pairing: HanChul
Genre: Angst
Rating: PG 15
Warning Character death
Summary: Hankyung's been left behind before he could even go.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, illuminated only by the flashes of lightning.
In that stormy, sorrowful night, Hankyung was on the roof of the SJ dorm. His hair was being whipped wildly by the wind. He clutched a letter in his hand, so tightly it threatened to tear.
Tears poured down his face as he let loose a wild cry that was lost in the roaring gale.
In the parking lot of the building, Heechul's body lay on the ground. Though broken and bloody, he was beautiful in death.
Hankyung dropped to his knees, the pain threatening to tear him apart. His memories replayed every kiss, every whisper, every touch, completely against his will.
Heechul had asked Hankyung to follow him up to the roof just to talk. As they reached the edge of the building, Heechul had pressed the letter into Hankyung's hands, gave him a soft kiss and jumped off.
Hankyung had been too late to save him.. too late to save his beloved. Holding the letter, he banged his fists against the ground uselessly, screaming his pain to the wind.
Sooner or later, Hankyung's thoughts started to make some sense again. Heechul's words.. he had to read them.
His trembling fingers gently opened up the crumpled paper. There they were, the last words he would ever read from Heechul.
My dearest Hankyung,
I know you'll be shocked, angry and confused so just keep reading. I know you're leaving me soon. You say you're only leaving SM but really, what's the difference?
I need you to understand how much I love you. How much I need you. If I lose you, I lose myself. I hope you'll understand. It's not your fault. It's mine. I'm nothing without you.
Hankyung, my love, I hope that one day you'll be able to heal. One day, you'll be able to smile that beautiful smile again.
Don't look down. I don't want you to remember me like that. Remember me like this.
Forever yours,
Kim Heechul
[Saranghae, baby]
On the bottom of the letter was a photograph. It was him and Heechul smiling widely at each other after one of their concerts. They had fallen asleep in each others' arms that night.
Hankyung screamed again. Soon, he heard footsteps and shouts as Heechul's lifeless body was discovered. He curled up on the cold, wet ground and let his mind fall back into darkness as the rain mixed with his tears.
3 months later...
Hankyung woke up screaming from another nightmare. Sobs racked his body as he tried to erase the images unsuccessfully.
After Heechul's death, Hankyung battled with the loss daily. The other members comforted him as best they could but the pain never faded instead it grew steadily worse.
As the tears started again, Hankyung had only one thought.
Without you, Heechul... how can I ever heal?
*Somewhere.. an angel wept.

Whither Wither M2M
There has been some evidence of late that humans and Neanderthals may have interbred during the waning days of the Neanderthal's existence. The research shows that late Neanderthals had some decidedly human gene sequences in their DNA. This got me thinking about the current state and the future of M2M. To understand this seemingly bizarre correlation it is useful to understand how I view the evolution of the M2M 'species'. As shown in the accompanying diagram, M2M applications have been remarkably steady, albeit with a 4-5 year lag time, in their tracking of common communications technologies.
While many would not recognize dial up or "phone home" systems and VPNs as M2M, that is exactly what they are – early stages in the evolutionary cycle of what we call M2M today. The interesting part of this history is the Web 1.0 period that started right around 2000 – I know, I was there. During that era the M2M world was focused on using the current web technologies to build applications that focused on device/asset management. Because of the technology available at the time, they were limited in their capabilities – e.g. they used HTTP polling as a way to tunnel through firewalls, provided a one person to many devices view of the world, and because they were built as applications they were incredibly difficult to extend or integrate with the rest of the business. In essence, they mimicked the state of the web at that time – the very early days of e-commerce and non-static web pages. Fast forward 11 years and we see a different web today. Social, Interactive, platform based, real-time, user generated content, mobile, mashable – it is a very different world.
This brings us back to the Neanderthals. Until now, no one has stepped up in the M2M world with a thoroughly modern solution. That doesn't mean there haven't been companies positioning themselves as modern solutions. But in reality, these "M2M platforms" are nothing more than the old applications from the early 2000's combined with a small amount of DNA (e.g. REST APIs, "cloud" deployment) from the modern world. Don't be fooled by these evolutionary dead-ends. While they may have sufficed in 2002 they simply don't cut it in today's data driven business environment. A thoroughly modern, complete solution requires the ability to capture, store, and relate all applicable data and provide a collaborative environment that can use the collective intelligence of your organization to turn this data into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom. This means not only data from remote devices, but data in your business systems, data in your documents, data in the heads of your people, and data from your partners. Traditional M2M systems simply don't possess this capability.
So how can you tell if you are looking at a modern solution? How can you tell if the solution is complete? Whether you are making an initial commitment to M2M, or making a change in your current M2M strategy, you are looking at the same business reality: this is a major investment that will play out over 5 – 10 years. You need to ask yourself several questions when evaluating solutions.
- When was the solution first released? Adding a RESTful interface and deploying it in the cloud doesn't change the underpinnings.
- What is the history of its releases? Was it an application suite that somehow morphed into a platform?
- Does it look/feel modern?
- Does it support real-time interaction?
- Do you need separate tools to develop and deploy?
- Is it social, searchable, mashable, and mobile?
Perhaps the most important question you need to ask is "Is it positioned as an M2M platform?" This may be the most telling question of all. If it is, then the vendor just doesn't get it and they are offering an incomplete solution. They don't understand that device/product connectivity is just a small piece of a much larger puzzle, that the device is NOT the focal point of the business. This Ptolemaic mentality flys in the face of business reality today. We live in a 3 dimensional world, a connected world, a world that requires a 3 dimensional approach to networking that includes people, systems, and the physical world, not just devices. But that's the subject of a future post.

Craig Custance chats with rival scouts and players to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are built so perfectly and playing so well as a team that there's really only one way they make an early exit: if they have a hard time matching the intensity of a No. 8 seed that fought hard to get into the playoffs.
With such an incredible regular season, one that never suffered any dips like many of the other Stanley Cup contenders, Chicago hasn't played a meaningful game in weeks. Maybe months.
The Blackhawks clinched a playoff spot three weeks ago, so they'll have to find that intensity right away. It can be a tough switch to flip.
"It's a big challenge," said one NHL coach who has been in a similar position. "If your fingers don't get to the switch right away, boy, you can be in trouble."
The advantage is they have a group that isn't far removed from winning a championship. They know what's ahead.
"They're confident," said the coach. "They understand what it takes. The leadership group is there."
KEY STRENGTH: "Chicago's Chicago. They're so talented and they work so hard. I think their team unified. So they've got a lot of things going for them," said a Western Conference forward.

In January, we asked our friends and supporters to pledge a donation to CEPR for every time the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio reported that eurozone countries are facing sovereign debt crises because of a pattern of profligate spending that led to unsustainable deficits. We figured that if the reporters couldn't be counted on to get the story straight, at least CEPR could earn some much needed revenue from their inaccuracies.
The results are in, and the four media sources misrepresented the cause of the eurozone crisis a total of 57 times from February through June. The individual totals are as follows:
New York Times – 23
Washington Post – 21
Wall Street Journal – 8
Some typical stories include this Washington Post piece from June:
"Ireland's voters approve E.U. treaty in victory for fiscal union"
"The fiscally conservative Germans, in particular, have called for ratification of the treaty, which was drawn up in January, as essential to ending years of overspending and over borrowing by their profligate neighbors."
(Read Dean Baker's Beat the Press reply, here)
And this one from the close "winner" of the "contest," the New York Times (April 22):
"Dutch Austerity Talks Fail As Geithner Prods Europe"
"Countries in the euro zone and international partners -- mostly wealthy economies, including Japan, Norway, Britain and Switzerland -- pledged more than $430 billion to the monetary fund to help guard against any runs on sovereign debt within the euro zone and to protect countries that might be innocent bystanders to the crisis, the fund announced on Friday.
But that money comes with the understanding that Europe will be vigilant in fighting off speculative attacks, bringing down unwieldy budgets and spurring growth -- even as political changes come, like those looming in the Netherlands and France."
(Dean caught that one as well)
We like to think that we've had some impact, as many reporters have stopped claiming that it was overspending by socialist governments that caused the crisis. But CEPR has a long way to go, as too many of the mainstream media sources are still reporting that austerity is the way out, both for Europe and the U.S. Not to mention the misstatements and inaccuracies on a host of other issues (Social Security, housing, Latin America, Haiti, the minimum wage, unions ... the list goes on).
CEPR is grateful to the many friends and supporters who donated to our Beat the Press Pledge Campaign. We promise to use the gifts wisely and to keep up the good fight. You can keep tabs on our efforts every day at Beat the Press. And although we also thank the NYT, the WaPo, the WSJ and NPR, we hope that we don't have to rely on their mistakes to raise money ever again.

The main symptoms of a pneumothorax are sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. But these symptoms can be caused by a variety of health problems, and some can be life-threatening. If your chest pain is severe or breathing becomes increasingly difficult, get immediate emergency care.
A pneumothorax can be caused by:
Risk factors for a pneumothorax include:
Many people who have had one pneumothorax can have another, usually within one to two years of the first. Air may sometimes continue to leak if the opening in the lung won't close. Surgery may eventually be needed to close the air leak.

Quentin Tarantino uses the N-word to answer question, people are shocked for some reason
Some members of the entertainment press are trying to make hay over the fact that Quentin Tarantino actually used the dreaded N-word when discussing the dreaded N-word in the press room after the Golden Globes on Sunday night. That's right, dial up the righteous indignation machine to 11, because we're about to quote Tarantino. Prepare yourself.
When asked if he thought about not using the term when making Django Unchained -- which is about a slave killing slaveowners in the pre-Civil War South, if you haven't heard -- Tarantino didn't hedge at all. "No, not really because ... if somebody's out there actually saying it when it comes to the word n-----, that the fact that I was using it in the movie more than it was used back in the Antebellum South in Mississippi in 1858, well, then they might have a, you know, then feel free to make that case. But no one is actually making that case. So in other words, what they're actually saying is I should soften it, they're saying I should lie, they're saying I I should white wash, they're saying I should massage, and I never do that when it comes to my characters." (Watch video of the Q&A above.)
A lot of accounts of this interview say all the reporters got really quiet and you can actually hear someone whistle low, as if Quentin had committed some egregious sin that can never be forgiven. Never mind that he only said the word that was being discussed, and not calling anyone that. Even Don Cheadle got up afterward and joked, "Please no n----- questions. Black people questions are all right."
This is the kind of out-of-context, overblown faux outrage that make people hate the media. Sure Spike Lee has been on Tarantino's case, but expressing shock the man himself said the word he uses so often in his movies, especially in context of a revenge fantasy about a black man murdering evil white people, is a bit disingenuous. Really, have you never seen any of the man's movies?

President Mahinda Rajapakse has informed Higher Education Minister S B Dissanayaka to provide a comprehensive report on the Z score calculations of the last GCE A/L examinations immediately.
Allegations were levelled against the usage of a common calculation method for students who sat the exam under the old and new syllabus.
Subsequently the Supreme Court ordered for the old and new syllabus z scores to be re-calculated separately based on a petition filed by a group of students and the Lanka Teacher's Association.
The re-calculated z scores were issued last Sunday but have also raised many questions.
President Mahinda Rajapakse has called for the immediate report owing to this.

I want to have butt lift done, and I've been looking for an experienced doctor around Cincinnati area, but cannot find many. Can you recommend one here or should I travel? I thought it would be difficult to travel, since after the operation, you cannot sit for long periods. Any suggestions on this?

Choosing a butt lift doctor
Patients today have many effective ways to contour the Butt. Exercise may improve the shape and tone of the underlying muscle. However, if you continue to have stubborn areas of fat these can be used to your vantage. A Brazilian Butt lift can help contour your abdomen and torso by performing liposuction and then using the fat that is collected to enhance the appearance of your butt. If you have excess skin or sagging, you may be a great candidate for a butt lift.
Keep in mind that this is a significant procedure and for best results is recommended that you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience and Butt contouring and procedures such as a traditional Butt lift, Brazilian Butt lift, and Butt implants. Such an expert will be able to assess your torso and Butt and help you choose the combination of procedures that will meet your aesthetic goals.

This allows us to connect your computer to our encrypted network so that during the iConsult you may watch your photos transform in front of your eyes. This is also excellent opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. Our out of town patients unable to fly in the day before the surgery and received their real in person consult to confirm their physical findings. Surgery is then performed the following day in patients can then recover in beautiful South Florida.
Finding a Butt Lift doctor
Members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have devoted their practices to cosmetic surgical procedures and submitted themselves to rigorous scrutiny of their education and practice ethics.
If no one in your area seems a good fit, it is reasonable to travel for surgery with certain precautions. We see a lot of patients from out of state here in Utah because our costs are usually considerably lower. It can be done safely.
Good luck.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Penn State topped the Michigan State baseball team, 10-4, in the series finale Monday afternoon at Kobs Field. PSU took three of four games to win the series, while MSU fell to 15-13 (6-5 Big Ten). After three weeks of Big Ten action, the Spartans are tied for fourth place in the league standings with Purdue.
Penn State (12-18, 5-5) got to Spartan starter John Dwan early, scoring two runs in the second and two more in the third to build an early 4-1 lead. Dwan (3-3) entered the game a perfect 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in Big Ten play, but took the loss on Monday after allowing four runs on six hits in 5.0 innings.
Michigan State trimmed the Nittany Lion lead to one run by scoring twice in the bottom of the fourth. Eli Boike, who went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs, singled to lead off the inning, and scored on a Dennis Jones triple to right field. Evan Friedland brought home Jones with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-3.
The score remained 4-3 until Penn State erupted for two runs in the seventh and six in the eighth to put the game out of reach. After PSU scored two in the seventh, MSU did respond with a run of its own in the bottom half of the inning on Justin Potes' RBI double. Potes drove in Kyle Day, who went 3-for-5 on the day to raise his average to .318.
The Nittany Lions scored four runs on three hits in the eighth, including Rick Marlin's bases-clearing triple that brought home three runs. Marlin finished the day 2-for-3 with five RBI.
Matt Ogrodnik pitched the final 2.2 innings to earn his second save of the season, while Paul Hawkins (1-0) picked up the win.
Michigan State returns to the field Wednesday, April 18 to take on Central Michigan in Mount Pleasant at 3 p.m.

(NX 4482 3423) Castle Feather (NR)
OS 6" map (1957)
Castle Feather is a two period site, a promontory fort having subsequently been utilised for a medieval castle. The medieval features comprise the internal structures, the largest of which has 4' thick walls and is presumably the tower-house, while the others are ancillary buildings and the revetting of the scarp of the inner ditch is stone. The ramparts and ditches belong to the promontory fort, though they have subsequently been heavily mutilated. These defences seem to have comprised five earthen ramparts and ditches on the N side, and three on the S, but the central area is so disturbed that the relationship of these ramparts to one another is quite uncertain. The circular hollow in the interior, mentioned by the RCAHMS, is a quarry, no doubt contemporary with the castle.
RCAHMS 1912, visited 1911; TS., visited 1955
Generally as described. The multivallate promontory fort measures internally 88.0m NE-SW by 28.0m NW-SE. The probable tower-house foundations measure internally 5.0m by 4.0m. The medieval defensive wall, on the inside of the inner ditch, measures up to 3.7m in height and 2.0m wide.
Resurveyed at 1/2500.

Lansford liquor store manager Joann Thomas of Weatherly was just about to park her blue Jeep in front of the business at about 10:50 a.m. Friday morning when the vehicle jumped the curb, flattened a parking meter and struck the front door, shattering it.
"The car wouldn't stop," Thomas said.
No one was hurt, and borough councilman Lenny Kovach, who is head of the borough work crew, backed the car off the sidewalk and into the street, where it was then towed.
Kovach then sawed off the few inches of jagged stump that was left of the meter.
An upset Thomas, 35, was comforted by Lansford resident Marie Ondrus, who was in the area for a ribbon-cutting a few doors down the street.
Police Chief John Turcmanovich and Officer Chris Ondrus were at the scene within minutes, as was a paramedic.

February 13, 2003
The debate over whether HIV and its therapy are associated with the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) was as prominent at this year's conference as it was at last year's conference. Once again we heard conflicting data as the studies are either retrospective, with many confounding factors, or prospective and of short duration, thus making it impossible to know how much HIV and its therapies are contributing to the development of CHD, if at all.
Dr. Friis-Møller presented the results of a prospective observational study of 23,468 subjects from 11 cohorts in three continents. Subjects were enrolled from July 1999-April 2001 with the final data collection/analysis, having been taken during August 2002, being presented here.
Although the subjects were followed prospectively starting July 1999, the investigators entered data based on how many years ago subjects were started on HAART (PI or NNRTI), which varied from none to greater than six years.
It is unclear if they truly have source documentation of all 23,468 subjects' first date of HAART or whether they derived this date from the subject's history as documented in a chart. Data on HIV disease, risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) and incident MI was collected. The median age of this cohort is 39 years, 24 percent female, 60 percent smokers and 30 percent had elevated triglycerides (TG).
During 36,479 person years, a total of 126 subjects had a MI -- a subgroup comprised of 90 percent men with a median age 48 years. Thirty-six (25 percent) of the subjects had a fatal MI (different data than in written abstract). Not surprisingly traditional risk factors remained independent predictors of developing an MI such as age, male sex, previous history of CHD and smoking. Other important risks included diabetes and hypertension. The relative risk per year of exposure to HAART was 1.26. Interestingly, lipodystrophy was a protective risk (RR 0.6), however, this term was defined by subjective measures and needs to be further studied before any conclusions can be drawn.
The investigators concluded that HAART use was associated with a 26 percent relative increase in the rate of MI per year of exposure over the first seven years. I agree with the investigators that this cohort should be followed longitudinally over the next few years. This database has many of the same limitations that other databases have that collect information retrospectively and then follow subjects that have many confounding factors prospectively.
Hopefully, over time, as they follow this cohort, particularly the many subjects who entered the study on no HAART or initial regimens, we can begin to sort out those factors contributing to CHD from HIV and its therapies versus traditional risk factors.
The investigators are to be commended for developing such a large cohort and collecting data from various international centers. The work involved in maintaining such a database is enormous. This will be a very valuable cohort to follow and I look forward to their yearly reports. As Dr. Friis-Møller noted, the risk of MI at this point is low and the obvious benefits of HAART outweigh concerns over potential CHD. Nevertheless, it remains important to consider all aspects of health care for HIV-infected individuals, including modification of traditional CHD risk factors if possible as well as treating the complications of HAART as they arise.

The Cariaco Basin
The ocean time series study area is the Cariaco Basin; a large (∼160 km long, 70 km wide) and deep (∼1,400 m)basin, located on the Venezuelan continental shelf (Figure 1 and 2), occupying an area of approximately 11.200 km2. It is bound to the north by a sill connecting Margarita Island to Cabo Codera, at a mean depth of about 100 m with two channels breaching this sill (La Tortuga: ∼135 m and Centinela: ∼146 m). The basin is divided into two sub-basins, one eastern and one western, separated by a saddle of approximately 900m deep (Schubert, 1982).
The upper waters of the basin are in constant exchange with Caribbean waters through the channels, but the sill depth restricts any water exchange below 140m. The Cariaco Basin experiences marked seasonal upwelling (Richards, 1975; Muller-Karger et al., 2001), induced by the Trade winds, which blow more intensely during the first half of the year (February-May), with sustained measured speeds of (>6 m s-1) and an E NE direction. Between August-November, winds are weaker (<6 m s-1) and the direction varies, often associated with meteorological perturbations (depressions, hurricanes) that cross the Caribbean. During the last decade, 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003 have been years of strong wind, while between the years 1997-2000 winds remained low (Figure 3). Since 2004 wind strength has remained below average historical values, which have affected the primary production of the area significantly. Variations in wind strength are tightly coupled with the hydrography of the region, and control the intensity of the upwelling. Because of the upwelling, which brings essential nutrients to surface waters, primary production rates are high. Figure shows satellite images of a typical upwelling in the Cariaco Basin (see caption for details). Much of the organic material produced in the upper water column remains ungrazed and sinks, generating a flux of particles between the surface and the deep basin. Sill restricts water motion and the lateral flux of material below about 140 m depth, making Cariaco a natural sediment trap within a continental shelf. Because the turnover of basin waters is slow, the decomposition of the sinking material leads to permanent anoxia below about 250m. Around this depth, at the oxic-anoxic interface, a unique environment exists. The interface harbors a rich microbial community mostly composed of chemoautrotrophs, which generate and transform organic material, and likely alter the flux and composition of particles that travel through the water column (Scranton et al., 2006).
Because of these permanent anoxic conditions (no bioturbation), sediments accumulate at the bottom of the basin in varves (laminated sediments, Figure), providing a detailed record of annual to decadal scale change over several dozen millennia (Peterson et al., 2000; Haug et al., 2001). The lamina alternate between light and dark, corresponding respectively to the highly productive upwelling period and terrigenous material coming from the coast. The scientific community in general has recognized the importance of this highly detailed sedimentary record in the Cariaco Basin. However, in order to understand it and accurately interpret it, it is necessary to understand the seasonal changes that occur in the region, as well as the biogeochemistry of the water column.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Everyone has an opinion about China as an investment destination. At one end of the debate, China is the straw that stirs the global drink driving demand for resources and everything else on its way to world domination. At the other end of the debate there is a speculative frenzy in real estate and the banks are in serious trouble for being overexposed to empty commercial real estate projects. Such divergent opinions have yielded a multitude of investment products offering both broad-based and thematic exposure. The newest fund is the iShares MSCI China Index Fund ( MCHI) and frankly, it is a head-scratcher. The fund intends to offer exposure to both large- and mid-cap stocks. It will have 140 holdings and have an expense ratio of 0.61%. At the sector level it is 37% in financial stocks, 18% in energy, 11% in telecom and 8% in industrial stocks before the sectors get much smaller from there. The fund, actually, is a head-scratcher on two levels. The first point is that there is almost no mid-cap exposure. The information isn't on the Web site yet, but a call to iShares will tell you that the fund has 65% allocated to what index provider MSCI calls giant companies, 30% to large companies and not quite 5% in mid-cap companies. For now there are no funds targeting only mid-cap stocks in China, but an investor seeking that exposure would probably be better off with the Guggenheim China All Cap ETF ( YAO), which targets 47% in large-cap, 34% in mid-cap and 19% in small-cap. It would be prudent to research Guggenheim's definition of mid-cap and make sure it is compatible with your own. Equally confounding is the me-too nature of this fund. The me-too concept repeats frequently in the ETF industry, usually for competitive reasons or to offer a full suite of products. The odd thing about this new fund being a me-too product is that the fund provider iShares appears to be copying is ... iShares. The similar funds in question are the long standing FTSE China 25 Index Fund ( FXI) and the FTSE China HK Listed Index Fund ( FCHI). MCHI has eight of its top 10 in common with FXI, and nine of its top 10 in common with FCHI. The percentages of the top 10's weightings are very similar as well; MCHI 51%, FXI 60% and FCHI 58%.

Tom, Gisele And Benjamin Head For Sunny LA [PHOTOS]
Wearing a striped shirt and black jeans, Gisele Bundchen helped son Benjamin Brady, 3 into a waiting SUV while Tom Brady packed up outside their Boston home on Saturday (April 21st).
The family then headed for Logan airport to catch a flight to Los Angeles after celebrating 100 years of baseball at Fenway Park on Friday (April 20th).
NESN challenged Red Sox fans to cleverly caption photos of Gisele and Tom at Friday's game against the New York Yankees, who beat the hometown team 6-2. End result: they weren't that clever.
Brady's sister, Julie is engaged to Sox player Kevin Youkilis.

Team shines as they prepare to compete for the district title
HHS girls softball team optimistic about playoffs
M. Susanne Hinkle - Apr 13, 2006
With the distractions of Summer and Spring, the Hahnville Softball squad still managed to secure their place in the district playoffs. "One challenge that faces me as a coach is keeping the kids focused on softball when Spring is here and it brings on many other activities that seem to take precedent over winning games," said Kenneth Vial, Hahnvilles Head Coach.
"We had seven starters return this season, Meghan Vial, Chelsey Flores, Gina Sierra, Ariel Romero, Annie Minnich, Lela Clowers and Dara Fontenot," said Vial.

This 1966 Corvair is said to be an original Canadian market Yenko Stinger prototype, and though the listing's description leaves a lot to be desired the car seems legitimately fantastic. Originally a stage I car raced by GM Canada's director of motorsport Martin Chenhall, it's now been converted to full on 240 HP Stage III spec after a two year, 1,000 hour resto. All original Yenko parts are said to have been used, and it's been restored by ex-Yenko workers. Find it here on eBay in Whiteland, Indiana for $89,900 OBO.
It's said to have scored 998 out of 1,000 points at the 2012 Illinois Muscle and Corvette Nationals, and though photos have a very off white balance it's clear that the car is in excellent cosmetic condition. The car is currently setup as a stripped-out, single seat racer but the seller says it could be made street legal with the addition of a full wiring harness, mufflers, and a few "other minor adjustments". The white, blue, and red color scheme over black steelies shod with wide rubber looks fantastic, and the rear view with its twin pipes and exposed, finned Offenhauser sump is particularly appealing.
The cabin is an intriguing mix of full factory spec and pared-down racer. Full door cards and side panels along with complete instrumentation and dash (including glove box!) provide a striking contrast with the vast expanse of bare, body-colored metal floor and rear firewall, and a single, simply upholstered sports bucket sits behind a bone stock, factory steering wheel. The four point roll cage is painted the same shade of red as the dash, trim, and seat covering, and completes the interior aside from a long, windy shifter bent towards the driver's hand.
Originally built to homologate the Corvair for SCCA competition (standard cars were not qualified for any category), all Stingers were equipped with heavy duty suspensions, a quicker steering ratio, and Positraction differentials. Running four big carbs with tall, fiberglass velocity stacks, the 168 CI (2.75 liter) air-cooled flat six must sound wonderful when wrung out, but we wish there was more info on how it achieves such an impressive specific output. Is it just us or does a 6k redline as indicated on the column-mounted tach seem a bit low? In addition to the finned Offy sump an auxiliary oil-cooler helped keep the big pancake cool–hopefully it's slightly less prone to throwing fan belts than standard cars.
Build documentation includes a GM Canada build sheet, Don Yenko-signed export paperwork, and original Stage I conversion invoice totaling $622. If its history can be confirmed it makes for a seriously compelling car, though we'd still dig it if it were simply a well-built tribute–at a lower price of course. With so much Yenko expertise out there we're sure one of our GM historian readers will be able to chime in with some authority on the subject.

I do not usually have time to write reviews but Im currently typing since I am really happy with my results. I just had my restylane injection yesterday and Im loving my results. I have no bruising and just very minimal swelling considering that 2 weeks before my treatment I took Arnica, drank pineapple juice and even took Bromelain (pineapple extract) (3x a day). Yes, I may sound extreme but I think that really helps with the results. The Dr. injected me with 1 cc for each eye considering that I have really deep lines. This is really a breakthrough for me...... for anyone out there who's been hating their eyebags..go for Restylane! Make sure you choose the right hand to inject you and take the proper supplements prior to your treatment to get good results! Good luck to all! Goodbye eye creams for me...yay!

The key I guess with any injectables is the person who is performing it. I did my research and I found that Dr. Naderi is really the best in the area. He is very approachable, he listens very well to his patient and does not try to sell products but suggests what would help achieve the best look. With this, I had botox treated as well on my eyes' crow feet and Im glad I listened and took his suggestion. Yes, Dr. Naderi's price maybe more pricey than your local derma/spa place but you are paying for his expertise. It's all worth it since you don't really want to just anyone injecting your face and end up looking like a mess..right?

Independent and insurance brokers/dealers are the strongest sales channels for variable annuities, according to The Insured Retirement Institute's "2011 Portfolio Construction Dynamics" report. But, generating income throughout these broker/dealers' clients' retirement doesn't come without challenges. The report from IRI — in partnership with Cerulli Associates — explores these challenges and offers insight on how to grow adviser acceptance of variable annuities as a retirement income solution.
"IRI research shows that the number one retirement savings concern among boomers is that they will outlive the funds they have accumulated for retirement," says IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford. "Insured retirement strategies can help provide the security boomers are looking to — dependable, guaranteed income throughout their retirement. And based on the findings of this recent report, advisers looking to diversify their clients' portfolios should consider variable annuities as a baseline income investment in their clients' retirement plan. As a portfolio foundation, insured retirement strategies can provide advisers flexibility to meet the unique needs of their clients."

Dunedin wide reciever and defensive back Nathan Diehl, who had 200 yards and a score for the Falcons last season, says he's signing with Jacksonville.
Diehl considered Division II Merrimack (Mass.) College and Division III Case Western (Ohio) Reserve University as well, but wants to stay in the state.
The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Diehl has a 3.7 grade point average and is hoping his versatility (he also played on special teams) gets him some playing time.
