going home
And yesterday my husband started flippin wtf i didnt know nor did i plan for a circumferential TT. My sister mentioned the scar size. My reply 1. It is/was MY money 2. This was done for ME!!! Not for anyone else and let me just say if he doesnt like the scar the door is WIDE OPEN!! Sad but true other then that im going home with 1 drain ;)
swollen feet
well been home for 3 days and i am feeling great, my feet are swollen. i had been having very bad headaches daily till today. i am showering today with arnica water to help the swelling. ive been getting harrassing emails from Ronnie which i find unprofessional i will later post copies of the emails. i have absolutely nothing but good things to say about dr cardenas but her husband is something ELSE dont do business with this man and if you do make sure you get a receipt for everything otherwise he will try and convince you that you where on drugs and you dreamed you paid but you didnt i spent over 7 thousand dollars with them and he is being stupid over $50dlrs that WHERE PAID i may be on narcotics but trust and believe i know how much money i got and where it goes.
after getting the scare of my life
and facing a reality check. i must admit this surgery is my 1st and my last. i developed a necrosis and was advised by my family doctor to run my ass to the ER which i did. they did lab work ultrasound ekg heart and respiratory monitoring and iv . i was crying of fear not of pain of fear asking myself wth did i put myself into what will my kids do if i where to be absent tomorrow something i had never really thought about. i am here thinking when will i be normal :'( when will i ever show off the body i thought i'd have?? will this thing ever heal? why oh why did i do this?? maybe in 2 months i will feel better maybe in 2 months i will be healed who knows but its been 19days and i have yet to see any lights or tunnels :'(
hard times...
well i am now able to get out of bed without any help im able to do little things nothing like wow i'm almost normal...i ask myself will i ever be NORMAL again??? anyways the front incision wont heal idk wth is going on i still have the drain which gives about 75cc Daily. i'm meeting with Dr. C next week for the stitches on my bb and hopefully i dont get any bad news on this freakin incision. she announced me a possible seroma wth is that i didnt even bother to google that because google just freaks me out. i understand all the blogs that say this is temporary but i seriously believe this is taking forever next wednesday it will mark 1 month and i am looking nothing close to the old me cleaning playing with my kids running biking etc :'( GOD is good and i know i cant just say god heal me i know i must do my part and i think i am but i see no improvements
here are a few pictures i havent really been in the mood of taking full body pictures im trying to avoid all activity hope-ing this front incision will heal!!!!
finally removed my drain :(
it seamed like it would never happen. but i was finally draining 25cc daily. and well i took some pictures right now and decided to upload them and share what it looks like :( i see Dr.C this week so i am feeling relieved to finally see her again. i must say that everytime i email her boom she replies back! i also finished my antibiotics from the ER idk if she will be giving me any i shall keep you guys posted . God Bless everyone
i am not wearing my compression garment
:( i forgot to mention that grrrr after many advise from different people to take off that compression garment well i decided to take it off last thursday and i must say my incision is looking better idk if just my head playing tricks or if its infact looking better. tomorrow i see dr.C :)
met with Dr, Cardenas yesterday 8/21/13
got my stitches removed from my bb but she said she was leaving one there and that within a month i can take it off or the body will spit it out?? eeh i dunno whats with that but ooookay! she also confirmed i have necrosis which is relatively small she said the scab will fall and leave a hole (like the drain holes) and i will need to clean it till it heals she also punctured a lil bubble she said that is grease that the body doesnt need and when i see any bubbles to kindly squeeze them as the body is looking for a way out. she also ordered me to straighten up :( i have tried and idk i just cant i think its just my head effin with me but we will see ive made it my goal lol she also said i can start walking 15 minutes straight and then add 10 minutes every week till im good and back to normal i will later post some pictures i got to take my wild monkeys (kids) to school i havent said anything about my fat transfer to butt because ive been on my butt al this month :( since i had the incision problem there wasnt much of other position i could put myself in i have been using the boppy pillow but until the swelling goes down idk what will be of my ass i really dont think much changed and im ok with it i just want to heal completely and then i'll buy me some underware that has some sponge inshit or ill put a pillow on my ass but no more surgery's for me i'm a real chiken!!!!
here are some pics
later i'll post some of my holes and front incision
scab is falling off
like the doctor said the scab is falling off and the yellowish thing is showing up like on the drain holes! hope it heals up sooner then soon but then again only time will say
sooooo let me use this blog to let some emotions out
a year ago in july i came back from a trip to Michoacan mexico which is where i am from after many years i was soo exited ro finally meet my husbands parents. i got there and they were all super happy as the days went by my evil mother in law said to me mija i am taking you to the doctor because being this fat is not good :O my fuken jaw hit the floor literally!!!!! inside my head i was like god grant be serenity right not cause if you give me strength im going to kill this bitch and burry her ass right here right now.. (for years i had been on diets) to me this was an insult my husband the man i married and share my most intimate fears and happiness had never said anything about my weight idk if its because he would see how hard i hit the gym and changed my eating habbits. anyways that month in michoacan with that bitch felt like a year!! i hate her and i dont hate her for trying to make me skinny is because she herself is fat!!! la zorra no ve su cola ni el zorrillo su fundiyo!!!! lmao auch!! anyways she took me to like 10 doctors in 1 month i came back with so many herbal shit and needles in my ears my husband asked why? whats wrong? what happen? i said your athletic skinny mother thinks im fat!!! he said babe dont listen to what people have to say you can never have everyone happy, i tolled him that day july 21 2012 babe my real journey begins today! and since july 2012 i really changed my eating habbits i didnt change the food i changed the portion by 1/2 and at 1st i didnt see any changes i was 238 pounds but people started asked 3-4 months later what are you doing you look skinny! i still wouldnt see jack but a month later my clothes was loose ;) i was soo exited that i got my credit card and bought me a treadmill, a bike and some weights and a reusable water bottle that bottle followed me everywhere! 9-10 months later i was 52 pounds lighter i started stregth training but my loose skin wasnt going anywhere i spoke with a personal trainer whom was up front with me he said the more you lose weight the more flap skin you will get and there is nothing i can do with you to give you firm abs! if someone says yes you can they are liying. i said to me holly shit i dont want to be this way i really concidered many times just gaining the pounts back. thats when i said its time for that tummy tuck eve!!! its time i spoke with my only sister and she said you are stupid why would you cut your skin out she said you are full of vanity thats all :'( i was in shock because she is 300plus pounds and all this time i invited her to join me and lose weight with me and she refused so i wasnt feeling guilty i knew i had my husband on my side and i said hey im ready for a transformation and im willing to spend all my savings to accomplish what i want and he said lets to this i will give you 1/2 of whatever your surgery costs. i went to many surgeons here in los angeles and for some reason i ended in this site. and found dr. laura carmina cardenas and when i saw her site i said this is whom i will get my surgery from. i emailed her got a quote in about 6-7 days and i emailed her right back saying i wanted to book the surgery Fatimeh said ok evelyn deposit 500 and we will set a date for you, i did the deposit the same day and she said ok when do you want your surgery i said tomorrow!! she laughed she said well usually people set the surgery for 6-12 months i said no fatimeh my time is now she said ok well today is the 12th i can put you up for the 24th because you need a series of test before the doctor can lay hands on you and well time flew and i had my surgery and now you know ive had my troubles and i still do. and what i wanted to say is that you get courage,advised etc from the people you less expect it!! yesterday my sister said i want to see your incision i hadnt showed her because i knew she would bombard me with negative things and sure enough i showed her and she said. wtf is that ?? you have to have an infection that shit doesnt look right look at yourself what did you do?? i said i am fine and i will heal everything will close you gotta chill anyways i heard her bitch for the next our or so! i dont know why people be acting stupid its my body, my money and my mother fuken life!!!! not only do i deal with her crap! but my husband has been very weird and jealous 2 days ago he said i need your facebook password ?? i was like i deactivated my fb he was like why? so who do you text? i was like what do you mean? he then said where do you go during the day? i tolled where the hell am i going to go all i do is drive my monkeys to school and back home no where else?? wth is up his ass?? i think its really fuken early to be acting jealous inshit not like imma go clubbing during the day with these freaking wounds and looking like the hunchback of notre dame like really wtf!!! he said if you dont love me no more tell me and i will move out?? we had never had any sort of talks about separation i didnt know what to answer but i did i said look ive never cheated and never will the day i feel anything for another man i will let you know before i cheat that the love is gone and its time to move on but if you are not hAppy the door is there and its wide open if you wish to leave go right ahead your kids will always be here whenever you want to see them! he was crying and hugged me?? so idk wtf is up with these people!!! i am going thru enough shit like to deal with there insecurities!!!!!
necrosis is falling and hole is starting to show :'(
very frustrated right now the dark spot (necrosis) is falling and i can now see the hole and i am freaked out :'(
im in sharp pain
im in sharp pain
Sanity Not Included
i seriously thought that by this time i would be worried about what cream to use to fade my scar, or making time to hit the gym and work some abs. but no im nothing close to that! hear i am worried about all these holes in my incision. my PCP wont prescribe me ANYTHING to help me close these holes! like seriously i aint asking for some high narcotics to knock me the fudge out of this reality! so i am stuck with neosporin which i really see no change!! the hole keeps getting bigger and this cituation is taking away the little sanity i had. i really wish to stay positive but seriously i see nothing getting better and let me say that i understand this isnt because i went to Tijuana and all that crap!! its my body reacting to all the freakin hell i put it thru the oly thing i do say is i would have liked to have my surgeon at a reliable distance! which is and is not the case!! when i went to tijuana on the 21st of august my 2 1/2 hour trip turned into 4 hours each way!! it was hidious and very uncomfortable. anyways here i am going crazy. maybe next week i will post some pictures. i am not wearing my compression garment nor do i have any plans i am very swollen and all though i understand it helps with the swelling it makes my holes worse so 1st is my holes and 2nd is the swelling. i am showering with antibacterial soap and cleaning my incision with neosporin foam and then applying cream followed by a gauze! well having nothing more to say i wish everyone a happy long weekend . sorry for any mispelling but this ipad sometimes has a mind of its own.
and i have been calling around a few places to see if i can get some help with these hole ive called surgeons and wound care facilities and NOTHING!!!!
i dont want to frighten anyone
every surgery is different every body e'volves different. i dont blame my surgeon. i put my body thru hell and it reacted this way. so i went to the ER again :/ yup and they discovered a infection i am on 2 types of antibiotics and of course cleaning my hole with antibacterial soap, foam neosporin , sufrexal cream. as for the hole it seams to be getting bigger its crazy but thats exactly how i see it right now. Dr.Cardenas says it looks much better and she continues to let me know she is with me in this journey. which i appreciate! the ER sent me to a wound care facility but Dr. C had me choose either her or the wound care faility :'( so i chose her. she stated at the wound care faility they will dig the hole and make it bigger that its best that i continue her instructions and let it heal with time, so thats what i am doing. i must say i appreciate those of you whom have texted,email,private msg me. with your thoughts and prayers i am blessed to have such great support from all of you! Thank YOU..
Even though I've been through so much I can honestly say my surgery was WORTH IT. I never took into consideration any type of complications and I think not too many of us do. I dont regret it because thats exactly what i wanted and if i hadnt done it it would still be on my head. not only that sooner or later i would have done it.
nothing has changed therefore i havent been here
so i went to see Dr.Cardenas on monday the 9th and nothing really happened in my visit. she stated all looks good and to continue cleaning it and eventually SOMEDAY this thing will close. i sincerly believe my 3hr drive each way plus the 1 1/2 hour line to return to U.S was not worth it at all. i mean she didnt say anything new it was like hearing outloud what i read in her emails. and she hasnt emailed me since then :'( i feel like she absolutely doesnt give a dam about my wound and i am growing very desperate this sufrexal cream isnt doing ANYTHING but she says this is a miracle cream. shit dont mind me asking what is it supposed to do for me?? cause till today i havent seen a change in this wound yes it isnt growing bigger but it isnt closing either. forgive me if i am sounding negative but this is exactly how i feel! ive spent to much money in this after care which i dont care for the money as it goes like burning fire. my point is i wasnt expecting to spend so much money in after care medication, gauze, non-miracle creams, trips to tijuana to have nothing done etc etc. tragame tierra!!!!!
oooh and
for those of you who have my cell # and have texted or called me and i havent replied :( im sorry but my phone completely died and i lost all my contacts. GGGRrRrrrr
i want to share this with ya'll lol
this is i guess my end result which am pleased and happy and have no words :)
oh and i cropped it to take my face off i hope you guys understand why i dont put my face in my pictures
oh and i cropped it to take my face off i hope you guys understand why i dont put my face in my pictures
No contact with Cardenas
Hello Ladies,
Well I am 85% back to my normal duties. I emailed Dr. Cardenas a while back and never heard from her or Fatimeh. I find that very unprofessional. Why wont she reply? Why wont she make an attempt to reach out to me? I am sure she knows the hole is still there when I saw her 3 weeks ago she said in 2 weeks you will see the hole closing that was just cheap talk. I am seriously questioning if this will ever close and how my skin will look when it does. I am furious because I advised Cardenas that the ER had advised me to go to a Wound Care Center and she had me choose between her or the wound care and I chose her FOR WHAT? So she can abandon me ½ way thru this journey?? And yes most of you will say well why the hell didn't you go to the wound care and not tell cardenas. I am an honest person and therefore I believed BELIEVED!! I was dealing with a honest professional individual and It is very clear to me she is NOT. Yes many of you have great outcomes with her but how many people out there is there with my situation? People that don't know this blog/website exists? I am sure I am not alone and it is sad sad sad and some people here get mad cause of what I say and I truly don't give a dam. This is my story this is how I feel and I am sure if you was to be in my boat your ass would be freaked as hell so if you have anything bad or stupid to say by all means grab a ticket and wait till I give a dam. I am tired of coming here and having my inbox full of crap. I am trying my best to see the light at the end of this journey and that light isn't around the corner. So if you have anything stupid to say grab a big glass of shut the fuck up and keep your comments to yourself.

hole as of today
here is the hole
at a wound care center in downtown los angeles
i'm feeling sick already!!!
Thanks Dr. Cardenas for not giving a dam about me. and for leaving me with this wide as open wound and not following up.
Thanks Dr. Cardenas for not giving a dam about me. and for leaving me with this wide as open wound and not following up.
sad reality
After spending my morning at a Wound Care Facility surrounded my people that have their legs chopped off due to diabetes and people with burns etc etc, it made me feel sick seriously I shouldn't have to spend hundreds of dollars on this after care not mentioning my hospital bills.
So the wound specialist suggested a debridement of the wound and put a VAC to help it close he states since the wound has been left alone the skin instead of closing it just created a border of defense and it wont close he gave me 2 options either do the debridement and basically start all over with this wound OR give it a shot with a cream.
Me being a chicken and not wanting nothing to do with sharp objects I chose the cream, he did however said if it 3 weeks it hasn't closed he will have to do the debridement which I said that would be fine.
I am seriously upset with Dr. Cardenas I would have NEVER EVER thought she would leave me ½ way thru recovery. How can someone sleep? Seriously
Anyways it is a lil to freakin late to say what if… so I shall keep anyone who is interested on my journey updated.

text: Posted October 8, 2013 · Report post On 80 mg of accutane and after a month, I feel as if things are getting worse.. Normally I have dry skin (pre-accutane) and get a few cysts usually in the same spots. I mainly took accutane due to dealing with acne in general for so long, and because the cysts were becoming inflamed more often. The first 2 weeks went fine, I actually got more oily the first week, and the 2nd week the dryness kicked in. The 3rd week is when I thought I had my initial breakout: 3 small/medium cysts on cheek (1 old 2 new) and another old cyst on my chin re-inflamed. Middle of the 4th week, things were calming down and I thought I was done with the IB. The end of my 4th week beginning of my 5th, I randomly broke out with 2 brand new cysts on the side of my nose which are red and make my nose look so swollen its pissing me off. Also, an old cyst on the opposite side of my nose is not inflamed, but feels bigger than usual. On top of that, another 2 old cysts I had previously before tane are starting to come up again. Why do I keep breaking out? It doesnt make sense! I have never got these cysts, or underneath pimples, on my upper cheek before accutane, so I am scared that these will scar and add even more stress, Accutane is not just creating new ones, but also constantly inflaming old ones that I use to think were gone for good. Now, the only thing it seems to be doing is clearing my blackheads on my nose and cheek, but also that is where most of my inflamed cysts are so is their any correlation? Like does accutane dry up the blackheads, and then the dryness plugs up the pores further? Its already been a month and I do not see much improvement compared to other people on this site or other forums that have been through a month, so I am wondering if maybe the accutane is not for me. What pisses me off is that the side effects are not even that bad for being on 80 mg..my skin got used to the dryness so it does not really flake anymore, and my lips are obviously chapped, however its nothing aquaphor cant fix. I just feel like if accutane is not showing any improvement after a month, what will make it any different in the next month, or the next, etc? I would love to cover up the cysts, however im a guy so makeup is out of the question...plus it won't work since not only are they red, but they're bumpy.

Recreation Authority begins FY15 budget process
August 18, 2014--1:41 p.m.
By David Crowder
It's budget time again for the Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation Authority.
In the weeks ahead, officials will be coming up with a draft to present to the Floyd County Commission in October.
Recreation director Richard Garland said, "We evaluate all of our fee structures and determine where we need to be as far as what our rental rates or what our activity rates are for our sports programs and for enrichment programs. It's just that process that we go through every year of evaluating everything and determine where we are going to be."
Garland said they are anticipating losing rental revenue from Berry College, once their new football stadium is completed.
Also during Monday's Recreation Authority Board meeting, a decision was made regarding personnel that will save 7 to 9-thousand dollars a year.
Brian McGraw, who was their construction manager, passed away this past month. Garland said they made a decision to freeze that position and not hire a replacement then unfreeze a lower salary level position.
Garland also told the board Monday that the Recreation Task Force is expected to visit Troup County and Carroll County in September.
The task force wants to visit communities with similar recreation arrangements and/or population sizes to get ideas, as they seek to come up with a new recreation agreement between Rome and Floyd County.

Markham, Ontario (PR) March 20, 2012
Toronto-based Search Optimization company, IFM Web Services, expanded their range of SEO services. With a newly-launched website, IFMs many business-class SEO services are now available for small, medium and large enterprises that desire more prominence on the internet. Good SEO services are what all businesses with an online presence want to facilitate first-page listings on Google and Yahoo, among other major search engines. IFMs effective strategies, as outlined on their new website, show how IFM can increase qualified website traffic for any business, in any industry with services that are more effective – and fees that are most affordable.
For a legitimate SEO company in Torontoor any other town or major citythe one issue that can be difficult to overcome is that of the proliferation of spam emails promising unrealistic SEO results for low, or next to no cost. All this spam is more than just a nuisance and can be problematic for legitimate SEO companies. The problem with all this spam, offers Len Doren, Creative Director at IFM, is that many people who receive these unrealistic offers from tricksters on the internet, believe the offers to be true. Len further explains, This can sometimes make it challenging for us to educate prospective clients when they come to us for SEO services.
Len dispels clients fears and apprehension towards SEO by conveying IFMs down to earth methodology and experience with a practical plan for online success. Len offers, For example, new clients become more comfortable with our approach when they understand how we use SEO Press Releases for high search engine ranking goals we achieve for our all our SEO clients. Ultimately, dealing with a real-world and sensible approach to generate more qualified traffic, resulting in more opportunities to do business, is something IFMs clients appreciate most.
As outlined on their new website, when IFM takes on a new client, they perform a thorough analysis of both on-page and off-page SEO attributes. Len adds, If there is no plan for analysis or seemingly unrealistic claims offered by any SEO company, along with abnormally low fees, warning flags should be going up all over. We like to say, if somethings worth doing, its worth doing rightand at a fair price.
Len also notes, Most business owners tell us about all types of expensive lead generation services they have used along with flyers, mailings, local web directory submissions, and advertising in the Yellow Pages. But most people have yet to find a better service to generate a quicker ROI and a longer-lasting, positive effect when compared to a well-planned, effective SEO campaign. Len further adds, We know that the Internet is ever-changing and as such, a simple thing like SEO copywriting can offer the average business owner significant website conversions. In terms of a business looking for Search Engine Optimization services in Toronto, for example, there are 10s of thousands of people and businesses using online search engines for pleasure, research and when they are ready to buy. A business must be proactive to capture the attention of those online searchers.

"Every patient deserves a standard of care," Sandie Anderson, a registered nurse at Fairview Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming, said at a press conference Feb. 13 at the State Capitol.
She and Susan Kreitz, a registered nurse colleague at Fairview Lakes, were speaking in support of a Standards of Care Act, legislation introduced Feb. 14 by Sen. Jeff Hayden, DFL-Minneapolis, and by Rep. Joe Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights.
The Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) called the press conference to explain why the legislation will increase safety of patients and will also reduce health care costs.
Linda Hamilton, president of the Nurses Association, said patients are needlessly at risk because too few nurses are on duty when the patients need them.
The MNA says nurses "are legally and ethically bound to provide safe patient care and advocate for patient interests." The MNA says that despite registered nurses regularly reporting situations in which the safety of a patient is compromised, hospitals refuse to address the problems with a permanent fix.
In a handout, the MNA said patient care is growing more complex while the period of time in which RNs have to treat them is compressed. The MNA argues that patients are suffering the consequences in the form of near misses, preventable errors, avoidable complications, increased lengths of stay, readmissions and even injury and death.
The MNA, with this legislation carried by Hayden and Atkins, is seeking consistent standards of nursing care it claims will eliminate unnecessary complications, reduce preventable medical errors and curb extended hospital stays, thus reducing risks to patients and saving health care dollars.
Hayden said proper staffing lowers health care costs. The legislation is meant to monitor and enforce standards, he said. He predicts that discussion on this legislation will be contentious but open.
"This legislation puts the decision at the bedside, not the Capitol," Hayden said. "Other states that have implemented and or studied staffing standards report that the probability of deaths drops by double digits," he said
Atkins said it is time to have a conversation on these concerns and try to improve patient care and decrease health care costs.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by OzzO, Feb 3, 2007.
that's about the extent of the info in Solomon's blog
haha way to add about the skirt.......nice find.....i hope everyone is right about the oline....we will see
hmmm not david's fault....Tell that too rick smith then...
that is some funny stuff
I believe that we need jpgs of that whole skirt thing.
Just so we can form our own opinions without bias.
Trust me on this.
Give us some pix.
The Jets have the fireman guy who rides on the shoulders of another guy and leads the J-E-T-S chant.
Denver has the naked old man in a barrel.
Ray is in Big D.
And us? We have Texans Chick: One half metro, one half urban cowgirl, a dash of spunky attitude, and a teaspoon of wit.
I used to think that Joe Texan was our team's fan celeb. He's still up there, IMO. I love seeing his crooked smile and a big beer in his hand during Texans TV timeouts.
But Texans Chick is, IMO, the fan face of our team.
Work it out, TC. You da' woman!
Its funny...everyone who knows a little thing about football is always for david carr staying...
And I assume they watch all of our games too...
What are players going top say about a fellow player who they might see around.."he really has no skills and is the root of all their misery." Seriously. The excuses and reasosn to keep him are bordering obscene. I guess Dunta doesn't know much because he was ready to throw his own teammate under the bus last year.
I think the whole thing was about girls in short skirts getting told what they wanted to hear .... been there done that .
There with ya.
well she must have forgotten to talk to Joe about Carr.
I think he likes Suzy Kolber .
Now that is friggin' hilarious stuff from Solomon on TC
...well, of course-if you back another team and they play the Texans, you'd want Carr to be the Texans starting QB too, right?
oh yeah BTW I hope you were joking,but just read my sig if you can't remember a player talking about a certain problem.........
Did she ask any of them if they have ever seen a Texans game? My guess is not.
Last year I was watching an away game with some small time TV analyst covering the game (pretty much all they could get last year). Anyway, at the begining of the game the analyst were spouting out all of DC's stats and saying how much he'd improved since Kubes took over. It was obvious they had never actually seen a Texans game. By the end of the game, the analyst had changed thier tone 180 degrees and DC had become the worst QB on the face of the earth. It doesn't take long to spot those "happy feet".
Granted I don't want to make any excuses for our line, because they stink, but then again so does David.
Same place I was last season; one of the few remaining fans in the stands at the two minute warning.
Instead of the old man, let's get TC naked in a barrel, LOL
Exactly. These players have probably only seen a few Texans games in their life, and the rest are a bunch of highlights. I mean why would anybody want to watch a Texans game unless you're from Houston.
Separate names with a comma.

Games Inbox: The Wii goes hardcore, SNES vs. Xbox 360, and hating Halo
Our twice-daily look at what's on our reader's minds. Got something you want to get off your chest? Email
email@example.com with your thoughts.
Fighting hardcoreRE: Imbecile. I could write an essay on the Wii's failings, however the number of people at the weekend mentioning Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime 3 show that motion controls can succeed in 'hardcore' games.
This isn't directed at Imbecile but one of my pet hates is the word hardcore, the way I see it is that a good game is a good game regardless and I don't recall the word being used 10 or 15 years ago. All it serves is to polarise game titles and players with little middle ground. Is the stigma of 'hardcore' or 'casual' really needed?
Finally, was iPLAYWINNER the beat 'em-up website that Raoull Duke was after last week? It's a rather excellent site for many recent fighting games. If it was not the site then perhaps it can be found in the community links on that web page.Philip ReedDragons are not coolSo basically BioWare seem to be turning Dragon Age 2 into Mass Effect? Surely the fact that Dragon Age: Origins was their best-selling game ever means that if anything they should be keeping it the same and turning Mass Effect to be more like Dragon Age?
A lot of people laughed at Dragon Age for being old school and nerdy and yet it still sold in bucket loads. And what is its reward? To be turned into a clone of one of their less popular games just because it's more "cool".FinderReturn to form?Does anyone truly think that Pro Evolution Soccer has a chance of being good this year? Thanks to the constantly improving FIFA games I've kind of given up on Pro Evo, which not even I can believe. But it's hard to think what they can improve in the new FIFA, so if the new Pro Evo does get things right maybe it has a chance after all? Although I've given trusting their promises a long time ago.John Stone
Catch up on every previous Games Inbox here
More to go wrongHad to chuckle a little at someone describing a four or five year old Xbox 360 as 'very old'. Today I was playing F-Zero on my SNES, which is still going strong 18 years after its release. They don't make 'em like they used to.S D BGC:To be fair modern consoles are a lot more complex, especially in terms of moving parts.Lone voice?Surely it'd be easy to make a Halo killer, seeing as Halo really isn't that great? I've played through all the games and they're basically the same as each other and the multiplayer is just so melee heavy. They're still fun games mind but they're not all-time classics. Doubt I'll even buy Reach because unbelievably it looks like it'll just be the same old thing again.BobbleheaddyHeavy investmentI'm with Kip Supp, Rock Band is the way to go. To this day, Guitar Hero: World Tour is the only game I've ever traded in a day after getting it. I've put more hours into Rock Band than FIFA and Call Of Duty together, and sunk a ton of pennies into buying songs.
Personally, I'm waiting for Muse or Genesis: Rock Band.Ty ConlonMissing out?Has any Inboxer actually paid for the PlayStation Plus subscription service yet? I just can't for the life of me see why it's supposed to be worth it, but I can't shake the feeling that I might be missing out. I'd be really interested to hear how people have got on with it and if they feel it's value for money. What betas have you had access to so far?Tony CliftonWar of the CraftsI wonder how big StarCraft II is going to really be? It's ten years since the last one and in that time World Of WarCraft has dominated everything Blizzard has done. I'm not worried that they've lost their skills but will people really take to a complicated strategy game like that, when WarCraft has been so successful because of all the casual players? I hope they haven't dumbed it down.Homer ThompsonInbox also-ransRE: Fullmetalmal. Be a bit more French?! My god you are a mad man!ToasterkillGC:To clarify this letter seemed to come from someone on HMS Chatham.I wanna play the new Monkey Island, but can't download it until my Xbox Live connection is sorted. Fingers crossed the engineer can sort it out! (Does Inbox magic only work for games?)HulkxxSMASH (gamertag)GC:There's one way to find out.I can't believe no one mentioned Charlie Brooker for hot game presenters.GIFPRESSSometimes I wish the world was 2D.Bob AdamThis week's Hot TopicThe suggestion for this week's Hot Topic comes from reader bam3666 who, inspired by all the recent talk of HD updates, wants to know what game you think is most deserving of a remake?Not a reboot or a sequel, but a high definition remake that keeps exactly the same gameplay and level design but simply increases the resolution and (where necessary) fluidity of the graphics.God Of War, Perfect Dark and Monkey Island 2 are recent examples, but what game or games would you like to see get the treatment?

|Ebook Synopsis
A complete collection of poetry beginning with my first poem, written in 1992 through to the last poem written in 2010. Each poem that I could find that was penned by my hand appears in this book. I have truly poured my heart and soul out in these pages, so I hope you enjoy them.
Author's Website : writingwithpower.blogspot.com
Your eyes are so beautiful and deep
That I often see them in my sleep.
I drink of your lips so divine
Because they are sweeter than any wine.
You intoxicate me
So much that I really do feel as drunk as I can be.
I enjoy wrapping my arms around your waist
And pulling you close to me without haste.
Your hair, so rich and long
Is more beautiful than any song.
Your skin is so soft and smooth
That I truly am moved
To show you how much I love you
And take away all your blues.
Your face is so soft to the touch
That it fills my heart ever so much.
I don't know what it is you do
To drive me so crazy for you
But keep it up, no don't you stop
Because you I value the most and put on top.

Vietnam has won plaudits from the international community for its achievements in fulfilling many of its United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) ahead of schedule.
During the Annual Ministerial Review of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSCO), which is taking place in Geneva from July 1-4, delegates from countries such as Laos, the Republic of Korea and Mozambique praised Vietnam's success in this field.
As one of the three countries selected to voluntarily share their experience and progress in national development, Vietnam told the meeting that by 2012, the country had reached many of the MDGs committed to the international community.
In ten years the country has halved the number of poor people and continues to make encouraging progress in the first goal to eradicate hunger and poverty. The poverty rate has dropped from 58.1 percent in 1993 to 10.7 percent in 2010.
In 2000, the country achieved universal high-standard primary education and by 2012, net enrolment rates for primary education reached 97.7 percent.
Remarkable progress has also been seen in promoting gender equality and empowering women, as well as improving child and maternal health.
The country has obtained significant achievements in establishing global partnerships for development, helping mobilise foreign investment flow and official development assistance (ODA) while taking advantage of opportunities offered by trade liberalisation to spur economic growth and poverty reduction.
However, a substantial proportion of the population is in danger of falling back into poverty, as Vietnam is one of the countries that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Vietnam has, so far, fulfilled three goals ahead of schedule, with three more expected to be reached by 2015.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen The Phuong, who led the Vietnamese delegation to the event, told the Vietnam News Agency that two others MDGs, including ensuring environmental sustainability and restraining the growth rate of HIV, still face an array of challenges.
This year, the ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review has put the spotlight on the role of science, technology and innovation in the promotion of sustainable development.
Phuong noted that Vietnamese laws, such as the Law on Technological Transfer and the Law on Intellectual Property, have created a legal framework to promote the development of these areas.
The Vietnamese Government has also paid special attention to science-technology and innovation, he said, citing the adoption of the Law on Science and Technology in 2001 as an example.
Phuong's delegation proactively held bilateral meetings in Geneva to exchange scientific and technological models that can aid the countries to reach their MDGs.
Vietnam is willing to share its experience in achieving the MDGs through the South-South cooperation model (in which developing countries exchange resources and knowledge) and hopes to continue receiving cooperation and support from the international community in order to raise the job's quality, Phuong said.
The country is actively partnering with the UN in devising the post-2015 Development Agenda.
As one of the countries selected by the UN to conduct national consultations and study the desires and challenges of the consultative groups, Vietnam's final report will make a significant contribution to the agenda.

Mortgage rates have hit all-time lows, and depreciating home values have given people the ability to purchase more house than they've been able to afford in years.
But consumers aren't buying it.
Area real estate agents felt the falloff in homebuyer traffic last month, and Thursday they got their validation: Sales contracts on home purchases plunged 32.1 percent in the Midwest and 30 percent nationally in May from a month earlier, the National Association of Realtors said.

Agen Cathedral
|Cathedral of Saint Caprasius of Agen
Agen Cathedral, Aen

|Saint Caprasius

|Hubert Herbreteau
The Cathedral of Saint Caprasius of Agen (French: Cathédrale Saint-Caprais d'Agen), commonly known as Agen Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Agen, Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine, France. It was built in the 12th century as a church and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The cathedral gained historic monument status in 1863.[1] Situated on one of four pilgrims' ways towards Santiago de Compostela[n 1], Spain, its World Heritage Site status falls under the category of Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.
Agen Cathedral's visible structure dates back to the 12th century, when it was built as a collegiate church of canons dedicated to Saint Caprasius (French: Saint Caprais), on the foundations of a basilica sacked by the Normans in 853 but thereafter restored.
Sacked again in December 1561 during the Wars of Religion, by two years after the countrywide coup d'état that took place in 1789, the cathedral had come to store fodder before being reopened in 1796 and being elevated to the status of the city's cathedral in 1801. This new cathedral replaced the old cathedral (to Saint Étienne) in the town, which was destroyed during the French Revolution, thereby becoming the bishop's seat in the diocese
The cathedral appears in one of the earliest color photographs ever taken by Louis Arthur Ducos du Hauron in 1877 (see right).
In 1998 this monument along the World Heritage Site route was among the first 75 designated, with three following the year after.[2]
The main organ built by Stoltz featured in the Universal Exposition of 1855 in Paris,[3] according to legend, offered by the Empress Eugénie in 1858 to the cathedral of Agen that hitherto had no instrument. It is the largest instrument in the department of Lot-et-Garonne, with 45 registers spread over three manuals and a pedal-board. It is a nationally listed historical monument and so too is the choir organ built by the makers Magen in 1885, with 15 registers, two manuals and a pedal-board.[4]
As with many churches in southern France, its plan is the form of a Latin cross. The nave dates from the 13th century.
Interesting architectural features include: the Romanesque apse is extended by a Gothic frame along a single nave. Replacing an old wooden bell tower, the current tower was built in 1835 at the behest of Bishop Lévézou de Vezins and has the peculiarity of being composed of three Gothic styles, curiously presented in reverse chronological order, ascending.
The paintings on the walls and ceilings represent the history of the coming of Christianity to the region. A centrepiece is given to the first martyrs of Agen. Other paintings are by series: the Evangelists, the Apostles, the patriarchs (Abraham, Noah ...) and the great kings of Israel.
The cathedral's nave is much shorter than what might be expected if judging from the size of the chancel, indeed political and financial difficulties have greatly influenced the final form.
One can still see in the angle of the northern transept this ornate figurine lamp-holder following the [gothic] style, to which it alone is a monument, receiving two blind arches engraved in a wall and a great ogee arch [overhead] of wide span[5]

31. Did everyone (except for Noah and his family) die in the flood?
Yes, everything died except for those on the ark.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. Genesis 7:21-23
No, some survived.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4
The giants of Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 are called "the Nephilim" in other translations.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. Genesis 6:4, Revised Standard Version

Radiation-Free Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses the body's natural magnetic properties to see inside the body without radiation, which is used in X-rays and CT scans. The MRI's powerful magnet, low-intensity radio waves and computer technology create detailed images of soft tissues, muscles, nerves and bones, which enable physicians to diagnose problems quickly and accurately.
MRI scans can assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, pathologic conditions, vascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders and brain tumors, as well as show the difference between cancer and scar tissue.

The Caring Light
I could not wait to get these tea light candles because I was curious about what would make them so special. Well I just opened the iherb box, and then the candle box. I noticed 3 things right away. One, I noticed that the candles were a buttery yellow instead of a waxy white. The second thing I noticed was that the "wax" was velvety, smooth and more like an firm oil that a hard and waxy substance. The third thing I noticed was that it looked larger than what I was used to. When I pulled out the tea light candles I'm currently using to compare, I saw that yes, even though the tea lights were the same diameter, the new one from this company was twice the height. I also noticed that the newly purchased tea lights had a craftsman-like quality and were more substantial. This makes me believe that the producer of this candle cares about the product. It also makes it easier to believe that they are a fair trade product in which the workers are paid a decent wage, work under humane conditions and have benefits -- like it says on the package and on the iherb website. I feel as though the workers care about the product too and that that care has arrived in my home, in my hands. I plan to use these candles for aromatherapy via use of a essential oil burner/diffuser. I also plan to burn these tea lights in my salt crystal candle holders. So, the care of the company and its workers has turned into the care of my mental health, and physical and spiritual well-being. The ambient glow of light, the ability to gain 60 hours of burning from one box of these candles translates to the potential for 60 hours of peace, calm, and joy. I in turn can share this with the public and the care continues.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Last week's news that ABQ Health Partners, a 184-physician medical group, will no longer accept Lovelace Health Plan insurance is a very big deal, and not just because a lot of patients will have to decide whether they want to change doctors or change insurance.
The relationship between the companies has run aground over what most experts say is a key question that must be resolved if health care delivery is ever to become efficient: Can we change the way physicians and other health care providers are paid for their services?
Navigating that change successfully is essential to solving the problem of rapidly escalating medical costs. The dispute between Lovelace Health Plan and ABQ Health Partners shows that meaningful health care reform isn't as simple as one would hope.
Health policy experts have long argued that providers' financial interests don't align with the interests of insurance companies, the employers and governments that pay most of the nation's health care bills, and the patients.
Providers get paid when they provide a service. More services mean more money. Thus, there is little financial incentive, for example, to set up efficient systems to ensure tests are necessary and that they aren't repeated unnecessarily.
Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance companies reimburse doctors for treating diseases and performing procedures, not for keeping people healthy. Doctors generally get paid no matter how poor or inefficient the care they offer might be. As ABQ Health Partners CEO Harry Magnes puts it, under the current system, sick people are an asset to medical practices and healthy people are a liability.
On the other hand, healthy people are an asset to insurance companies, employers and government payers. They are cheaper to care for than sick people, and healthy people are more productive workers. For all of us, good health is not only less expensive than illness; it is its own reward.
So while providers have financial incentive to provide unnecessary and inefficient care, insurance companies, governments and patients all have a financial stake in improved and more efficient care.
The challenge is coming up with a way to pay physicians and other providers so they make money by providing improved and more efficient care.
ABQ Health Partners' solution is to merge with HealthCare Partners, an 8,300-physician group based in California. This merged practice will start offering what it calls coordinated care. If it works as intended, instead of treating a child's asthma and sending him home, the practice might send a social worker to inspect the home for roof leaks that cause mold that can cause asthma. Instead of treating a diabetes patient's retinopathy, the practice would assign a case manager to coordinate all the services a diabetic needs, including guidance from a dietitian. Instead of ordering a second test if the first test results are lost, the practice has an incentive to make sure test results are never lost.
Healthy patients would become an asset to the practice.
Magnes wants Lovelace to give the practice a percentage of the premium it receives for each person it insures who wants to see an ABQ Health Partners doctor. The practice would spend that money pretty much as it wishes. In return, Magnes and the rest of the doctors would promise to do everything the Lovelace customers need, no matter what the problem, no matter what the cost.
In principle, Lovelace is fine with this. It has been experimenting with these kinds of innovative payment mechanisms for some time.
Lovelace Health System CEO Ron Stern said last week the insurance plan's problem wasn't with the dollars but with the risk the doctors say they are prepared to take.
Insurance companies earn their money not by crafting benefit plans and cutting checks to hospitals. They earn their money by taking risks – and they can be substantial. Molina Healthcare of New Mexico once saw its entire year's profit wiped out by the cost of caring for just two very ill children.
Insurers mitigate risks by anticipating them through complicated actuarial modeling, by keeping enough reserves to see them through if they underestimate the risk, and by getting enough customers under contract to spread the risk.
Lovelace says it isn't certain ABQ Health Partners is up to that task. If the practice underestimates its costs, Lovelace is still on the hook to make sure its members get the care they require. Plus, it isn't in Lovelace's interests to see a large medical group fail if it doesn't handle the risk properly.
Beyond that, Lovelace says it's not sure what ABQ Health Partners is proposing is even legal. Insurance companies are licensed in New Mexico to assume risk. Medical practices, until now, are not.
The companies' relationship is further complicated because Lovelace Health System is also a provider of care through its hospital network. Magnes says that to the extent patients are healthier, the number of patients in Lovelace beds goes down, and so does Lovelace's revenue stream.
That may well be true, even though Lovelace has several programs in place designed to improve hospital quality and efficiency. Federal law and a very competitive marketplace make such programs a matter of survival.
A class-action lawsuit filed in California by a patient against HealthCare Partners suggests that in aligning some interests through its shared risk approach the practice creates a new divergence of interests.
The suit claims HealthCare Partners uses its control of health plan members to put large numbers of patients into the hospitals where it gets the best deals, and thereby lowers its expenditures and improves its profits. The suit says the patient's preference for one hospital over another is subordinated to the practice's financial agenda.

One of the new options that you have in Excel 2013 and Power View is to show data on maps. This is a feature that is awaited for, most data in the BI world contains some sort of geographical information.
This could be sales territories, customer locations or production plants, etc.
When I first tested this I thought that you would need to have geographical objects stored in your user database much like the technique I used in one of my previous posts. However this is much simpler, the only thing that you need is a geographical name like a region name, a postal code or even a street name.
This data gets sent to Bing and Power View uses the field that you put in the locations box to geo code the data.
This can in certain cases be hard to do you really need to ensure that your field is uniquely identified. There are places that have the same name across the globe. You also need to ensure that if you use street names that Bing can successfully find then e.g. they have the correct postal code.
Bing maps is quite good on finding out locations of different addresses.
I tried with a very small sample that you can see below:
The first row is a full address, as suspected Bing had no trouble finding that address. In the second case I have not specified the zip code or the country but Bing had no problem finding that at all. The third one also misses the zip code and the country and again Bing had no trouble. If I removed Stockholm from the third case and just added the country then Bing was unable to find the address.
If Bing cannot find the location of the address then nothing is shown on the map.
You can also get nice zoom able maps in Power View. Power View have the capability of understanding hierarchies in the new version. This is something that power users have asked for and now it is here. I was happy to see that it worked in maps as well.
I created the following small sample table
Then in PowerPivot I created a hierarchy that goes from country down to region and then down to plats.
If I add this to a Power View report the map report will look like this:
As you can see I only have one marker on top of Sweden showing me the country level. If I double click on the marker then I will zoom in to the next level showing me the regions that I have in my hierarchy.
There are a lot of other visualizations and things that you can do with the mapping components in Power View. You have a lot of possibilities with vertical and horizontal multiples as well as color. There are however some things that does not work. You can not use KPI statuses on maps and you can not show regions the way that you can do in Reporting Services. However this is much simpler and easier to work with and more people will be able to use it.

Lady Gaga's festive cover of White Christmas leaks online
The Born This Way singer croons on the new track which will feature on her forthcoming EP A Very Gaga Holiday, out on November 26.
Gaga also decides to include an extra verse in the her version of the song stopping it midway to explain why.
She says: 'So as you can tell, I'm very outgoing and a little bit shy, but I've decided that this song is just too short. It's such a beautiful Christmas song but it's only one verse, so I added an extra one.'
White Christmas was penned by songwriter Irving Berlin and was Bing Crosby's biggest hit when he covered it in 1942. It remains one of the best-selling single of all time.
A Very Gaga Holiday features four tracks – along with White Christmas there will also be acoustic versions of Orange Coloured Sky, You And I and The Edge Of Glory.
The singer launched her Gaga's Workshop at Barney's New York earlier this week which features installations and artwork across the city.
Her take on Santa's Workshop includes cookies, press-on nails, leather jackets, and even a armadillo-shaped shoe made of chocolate.
The space is decorated by cartoon-like sculptures by artist Eli Sudbrack.
Gaga said: 'There's all sorts of affordable presents here, and they are guilt-free.'
