I discussed exactly what I wanted for a rhinoplasty result and even showed a picture. I asked that the nose not be tipped up, however, it now is. The nostrils are crooked and the doctor did a slight procedure to correct it, but made it worse. I wanted a straight nose on profile and it is not, and as I said, it's now tipped up with some of the tip cut off.
The physician said it's beautiful; of course, what else is he going to say. He eventually acknowledged that he made my nose worse. The doctor says he has no idea how to fix what he did and has refused to refer me to anyone that might help. Additionally, he did some lip surgery and made a choice to lengthen my lip without my approval. I have now lost my beautiful smile as the lip hangs over my lower teeth with my lips gently parted, and the lip covers half of the upper teeth on smile.
My nose is so ugly now I do have not been out socially for two years. I've spent almost $1000 trying to find someone who can help to do a revision. I am so devestated and very depressed. I've been in counseling for two years and can't get over this as I have to look at my face everyday and am humiliated how it looks. Any guidance or suggestions for correcting this? I have more photos if that will help.

Twilight Field: Part 4 — The Kitchen
A 369 salamander broiler by Southbend stands next to a 489 DCS range with six burners and a grill. The island is topped with Calacatta Gold marble and fitted with a Blanco Magnum single-bowl sink and Perrin & Rowe's Bridge faucet with sidespray in polished chrome. Clemson pendant light from Restoration Hardware.
The cleanup sink opposite the stove is a Shaws Original, made of fireclay, which is softer than porcelain and less likely to chip your dishes. To its right, one real drawer and beneath it, three faux drawers that mask a trash pull-out. The teak countertops and beadboard cabinetry were fabricated by Sheepscot Woodworking. R. Roman Hudson took down a wall to open the kitchen to the breakfast room, set with a Duncan Phyfe–style table and Regency-style chairs original to the house. Just beyond is a new family room addition.

Spider-Man has always been a busy guy, since he's almost always the go-to guest-star for every new series that needs a boost in attention, and since he's now splitting time between his own adventures, Avenging and FFing, maybe it's for the best that he's no longer married. That just ain't fair to MJ.
In Amazing Spider-Man #661, it's time for other people to guest-star in his book – namely, the FF and the Avengers Academy kids. The FF are going to be helping Giant-Man deal with Monsteroso (not Monstroso, the Venture Bros. villain, kids, but actual old-school Jack Kirby monster Monsteroso), while Spider-Man tries to go back to his egghead roots and teach a class to the rowdy malcontents that make up the AA. Will he be able to impart a lesson about the importance of secret identities in protecting your loved ones to the publicity-hungry Striker? Will the aloof Finesse be able to actually learn anything from him?
Check out these preview pages from Amazing Spider-Man #661, due out in May from Christos Gage and Reilly Brown.

" 66 Terrace Road,Walton-On-Thames,KT12 2SA. Tel: 01932 223 319 "
In times past, one of the first things I tried to establish as soon as I moved into a new area was the quality of the various Indian and Chinese establishments in the neighbourhood. Fortunately, although my devotion to the Slimming World plan has significantly reduced the frequency of nights out to local eateries, I discovered excellent Mogul well before my self-imposed exile from oriental cuisine. As it happens, with a bit of common sense, a sympathetic chef and judicious menu choices, a night out at the curry house need not be a calorific disaster.
The Mogul anchors a parade of shops on Terrace Road, just past Cottimore Lane, on the Molesey side of Walton-on-Thames. It's around a ten minute walk from the bottom of the High Street. Unfortunately, the only realistic option is to drive there, as Walton-on-Thames station is on the opposite end of town, well over a mile away. This being outer London suburbia, buses are not a realistic option either.
Our introduction to the Mogul came through our letterbox. They do an excellent and reliable take-away service, but it wasn't entirely obvious from the literature that they had a full service restaurant. I noticed a significant discount being offered on orders for collection, so one evening, I made the short journey up the road to retrieve our dinner and was surprised to find myself at a relatively well-heeled establishment, heaving with punters - at 7pm on a Thursday night!
There were at least four or five other people waiting to collect their dinner in a thoughtfully placed waiting area with comfy chairs and slightly out of date magazines, so I immediately resolved to come and dine at the restaurant at the next available opportunity. We settled on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks later and it has since become our local curry house of choice.
On our last visit (and the one on which this review is mainly based) we went relatively early (6:30pm) to ensure we could get our excitable four year old to bed at a reasonable hour. We were met immediately and courteously by a friendly waiter in immaculate white shirt and shown to our table. There were only a few other diners in the establishment at the time, so we had our pick of the place.
The interior is tastefully decorated in a modern style. It's not going to win any design awards, but the chairs are comfortable and there is a reasonable amount of space between the tables. A highchair was offered for our daughter, but she's much too "grown-up" for such things, so we carry around a portable booster for her.
Service is quick and attentive and there always seems to be someone to hand whenever you need something - even on busier nights. The owner is almost always on site, and although we are infrequent visitors, he always seems to recognise us. Mention of our address (where his boys deliver at least two or three times a month) is usually greeted with a knowing smile and the delivery to the table of some free poppadums. Our man clearly knows which side his naan is buttered. We have always been made to feel very welcome.
The menu is extensive and well described with all of the usual suspects present (Tandoori grills, Balti and Biryani and curries at various levels of spice and a wide variety of sauces). Starters average around £3 with two sharing options the £5 Vegetable Platter and the £7 Tikka Kebab Platter. Mains range from the basic curries around £6 to more expensive options (invariably including King Prawn) topping out at just over a tenner. I often use side orders to benchmark costs against similar places, and the Mogul compares favourably - £1.80 for plain naan, £2.30 for pilau rice, and £3 for a vegetable side dish. This place is clearly not going to abuse your wallet too much.
I don't intend to run through the widely available standard dishes, but will instead focus on the House specialities, which include delectable creations such as Kashmiri Tikka Massala (cooked with banana and pineapple), the excellent Lamb Pasanda (with a touch of red wine) and the unreservedly recommended Hayrali Chicken Massala (cooked with spinach, mint and coriander - this stuff is to die for).
The Mogul also does a number of good value Set Menu's catering for parties of various sizes, which usually represent a ten to twenty percent discount over ordering the items individually. The wine list is extensive, but I have never dabbled, preferring instead a pint of Kingfisher or Cobra.
I was being diet conscious, but my wife was taking "a break", so our choices reflected our different objectives. As usual, two poppadums appeared without the need to ask accompanied by the usual gubbins (lime pickle, mango chutney, raita and chopped onion) bringing a cry of delight from my daughter (she loves them to bits).
We decided to share a Hayrali Chicken starter (£3.20) which consists of marinated chunks of chicken in a spinach and coriander paste, barbecued in the clay oven. The three large cubes of chicken arrived on a fresh bed of salad, with a complimentary dish of battered and deep fried aubergine. Needless to say, my wife's delight was mirrored by my dismay at the unanticipated addition!
The chicken was perfectly cooked - moist, succulent and bursting with flavour - and with my wife preoccupied by the bonus aubergine, and my daughter perfectly content with her "puppydum" I surreptitiously snaffled a second morsel, savouring the well-balanced flavours of fresh coriander and that slightly burnt charcoal-like taste that enhances barbecue so nicely.
Our mains were a Lamb Shashlik (£7.50) for me - barbecued chunks of lamb brought out on a sizzling hot plate with fresh tomato, peppers and onions, and a Chicken Tikka Massala (£6.80) for my wife. My lamb was excellent, flavourful and very tender, with the onions nicely caramelised by the hot plate. I tried a little of my wife's Massala (she was in no mood to talk) and it was well balanced, not too sweet and quite creamy, with expertly cooked chicken. Having foregone a saucy dish, I was feeling virtuous and made a play for some of my wife's lovely looking naan. The back of my hand is still smarting!
Portions were very generous, so the decision to share a starter (freebie notwithstanding) looked wise. Our meal was accompanied by one order of plain rice (for me) and one of pilau rice, a naan bread and an order of Sag Aloo (spinach and potato). The Sag Aloo was quite moist and delicious, and absent the shimmering pool of ghee that can sometimes afflict such dishes.
We never order separately for our daughter, as she is usually quite content to pick from what we get for ourselves. For drinks, we shared a bottle of still mineral water and I opted for a bottle of Kingfisher. In this context, a bill of £40 to feed the three of us was very reasonable (i.e. essentially £20 a head). All major credit cards (including Amex) are accepted. The toilets are clean, if a little dated, with disabled facilities provided.
The best compliment I can pay this excellent establishment is that they keep us coming back for more. Service is top notch, the food is outstanding, and the owner ensures his customers feel welcome and valued. If you are ever in the area and fancy something other than the usual High Street chain establishments in Walton's new Heart shopping centre - or don't mind a ten minute drive from Hampton Court if you're visiting - you could do far worse than the Mogul. Highly recommended.

An after-school club which looks after 28 children from four Leyland primary schools has been dubbed 'inadequate' by Ofsted.
Margaret Temmen, who runs the St Anne's after school club from the Orthodox Christian Church on Leyland Lane, has blamed new national guidelines for her club failing the Ofsted inspection.
She said: "The new systems mean that we should be carrying on the children's education after they finish school each day, but we're not teachers; we're not paid that much.
"I've been doing this job for 18 years and it used just be about letting the children play, but it's all changing now.
"As care providers, Ofsted said we should be doing more, but we don't have those kind of things in place."
The club, which caters for children aged between four to 11 years and has four members of staff, moved into the church hall in April last year.
Ofsted described it as being a safe and friendly place, but said the management and staff 'lack an understanding of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.'
"I am disappointed with the results," Margaret said.
"Lancashire County Council is helping us with training now, but it's mainly about filling out paperwork.
"We're finding it hard but we don't have much choice."
Some of the areas Ofsted criticised included information about staff qualifications not being recorded, and regular appraisals not being carried out to identify training needs of staff.
It also said insufficient information is exchanged with parents about how the Early Years Foundation Stage is delivered; the range and type of activities and experiences provided for children; how parents and carers can share learning at home; and the name of each child's key worker.
But the watchdog did recognise that children's safety is a priority; that they have access to a sound range of toys and books; and that they develop an understanding of acceptable behaviour as they play alongside children from other schools.
The report adds: "Those parents who expressed a view at the inspection are very complimentary about the club and staff.
"They comment on the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and speak very positively about the staff."
Ofsted will continue to monitor the club's progress.

Resident says abandoned house next door is hazard
A Detroit mother of three young girls says that walking in her own backyard makes her sick because of the abandoned home next door on Braille Street.
"I wouldn't dare touch anything over there," said Aulana Harper. "There's all kind of junk back there.
But she says the stench and even the rats aren't the biggest problem - instead it is the drug paraphernalia.
"It looks like they set up shop over there so they can get high or whatever," Harper said. "They throw syringes in my yard."
Harper says she's been living next-door since 2012 and says she's been mowing the abandoned lawn and cutting down branches. She has called the city and says the home was put on the demolition list last year.
Craig Fahle with the Detroit Land Bank Authority says the abandoned home is in the process of going out to contractors and says the home will be demolished by the end of summer at the very latest.
Fahle also says there are roughly 40,000 structures waiting to be demolished and the city is working as quickly as possible knocking down about 150 homes per week.
But until this home is taken down Harper says she will keep her children's bedroom windows boarded up and will stay as far away as possible - hoping the city keeps its word.

Samaco, the exclusive dealer of Volkswagen and Audi in Saudi Arabia, has steeped up customer care with the opening of a huge new service center for both brands on Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz street (Tahlia) in Jeddah.
The 20,000-sq.-m. center has 46 platforms for service, six for direct service and seven for Internet troubleshooting. Its parking area can accommodate 28 cars for customers and 96 cars for the service center.
Fathy Allam, Audi brand General Manger in Saudi Arabia, said Samaco's world-class after-sales service would take a qualitative leap with the launch of the new center to complement the luxury brand's high manufacturing quality and leading market position.
Philip Burrluck, Volkswagen brand Manager at Samaco, said the new center would further refine Samaco customer service to Volkswagen's best standards worldwide.
Samaco is also the exclusive dealer Porsche in Saudi Arabia and last year opened a Porsche service center at King Road in Jeddah to maximize customer support for owners of the high-end luxury and sports cars.

A Baton Rouge legislator angrily accused the Jindal administration Thursday of misleading her and other lawmakers about the extent of budget cuts to hospice care.
State Rep. Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge, said agency leaders need to be reminded to tell the truth when addressing legislative committees.
"That was totally one that did not give us the right information on hospice care," Smith said.
At issue is the impact of mid-year state budget cuts on dying patients relying on hospice services through the Medicaid program.
As part of a bid to erase a $166 million shortfall in the current $25 billion budget year, the Jindal administration announced that hospice care "provided outside of nursing homes" to Medicaid recipients would be eliminated beginning in February. Recipients already receiving care will continue to get the services.
Under the Medicaid program that treats the poor, hospice care is an optional service that states can eliminate. Nearly 6,000 Medicaid recipients in Louisiana got hospice care during the fiscal year that ended June 30.
Legislators thought the cuts meant patients dying at home would no longer receive hospice care, but that patients nearing the end of their lives in nursing homes would. Instead, the entire program is being eliminated.
"It may just be our obtuse choice of words. We are no longer offering that benefit," state Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein said Thursday.
Greenstein said people in nursing homes already have access to pain management and clergy visits so his main concern was what would happen to people in the community without the same infrastructure.
He said the Jindal administration had no other choice but to cut hospice after weak sales and personal income tax collections forced economists to lower their state revenue projections.
"We have had all optional services on our reduction list over the years. This is one of the benefits that is an optional service ... We don't have the funding to continue funding optional services and so this is what we decided to reduce," Greenstein said.
He said Medicaid recipients can turn to nonprofit or faith-based organizations for services.
Jamey Boudreaux, executive director of the New Orleans-based Louisiana-Mississippi Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, said hospice saves money by providing services outside a hospital.
He said patients will end up in emergency rooms, costing the state even more money.
The goal of hospice, Boudreaux said, is to make patients as comfortable as possible, usually at home, in the final weeks of their lives. "They're going to be left to fend for themselves," he said.
Hospice of Acadiana is a nonprofit organization that provides medical care, counseling and spiritual direction to people with life-threatening conditions.
The organization's director, Louis "Buzzy" Hebert, said he is dismayed that the Jindal administration chose to cut hospice care through the Medicaid program. Now, he said, his organization will be forced to see patients for free and provide nursing, chaplain, social work and bereavement services.
"We've got to make a living ourselves. We can't afford to be in the business to lose money," Hebert said.
Boudreaux said other states looked at cutting hospice services only to shelve the proposal or reenact the care.
He said his fear is that dying patients won't receive hospice care at all.
"They're not going to have emotional support," Boudreaux said.

ORLANDO — Tayler Mack's mother tried to hide the mirrors.
Lying in a hospital bed for two weeks, 14-year-old Tayler, who had been voted the best-dressed girl in the eighth grade only a few months earlier, hadn't yet seen the devastation inflicted by a boyfriend who set her on fire.
"She's very smart, and she noticed I had been trying to protect her from mirrors, so she asked to see my bracelet," said Tayler's mother, Tiffany Roberts, who was wearing a large reflective bangle that day. "I quickly removed it and stuck it in my purse. I saw in her eyes that she knew what Mommy was trying to do, and she just laid her head back on her pillow as if silently saying, 'So it's that bad?' "
Eighteen months after the attack by Calva Haskell, then 15, those closest to Tayler see a brave and beautiful young woman, struggling to live a normal life while enduring painful reconstructive treatments.
The first glimpse in the mirror was painful for Tayler.
Her left ear was gone, amputated by doctors who couldn't save it. Most of her hair had been seared away by third-degree burns that nearly killed her. Her head and shoulders were covered with peeling and scarring skin.
"When I first came home from the hospital and saw myself, it was really hard," Tayler said, her injuries veiled by a black fringed scarf. "A lot of teenagers, our main priority is how we look. I was big on how I looked. I cried a lot at first. I'd think, like, 'I'll never look the same.' I'd think, 'I look like a monster.' "
She had sneaked out of her mother's house in Clermont to meet Haskell for a late-night walk Aug. 19, 2009. They had met in the eighth grade and regarded each other as girlfriend and boyfriend. She wanted to talk with him about his seeing another girl. Both said they did not argue.
As she walked in front of him, he pulled out a knife and stabbed Tayler 12 times, striking her neck, arm and abdomen. As she lay bleeding on the ground, he pulled out lighter fluid, sprayed her and lit her on fire.
Haskell, described by a court-appointed psychologist as defensive and evasive about the incident, admitted at his sentencing in January that he was angry at something Tayler said but couldn't remember what it was.
"I guess I just snapped," Haskell said.
Tayler's father, Dale Mack, did not want her to answer questions about the attack or speculate on Haskell's motive. Mack, a veteran Orange County sheriff's detective, said he preferred his daughter focus on moving forward.
In a closed courtroom, Tayler, now 16, removed the scarf she wears to hide her scars and missing ear, revealing the depth of the devastation to Circuit Judge T. Michael Johnson, who had to decide Haskell's punishment.
Johnson sentenced Haskell to 30 years in prison for attempted first-degree murder. The judge said he thought a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling prevented him from giving a life term to a juvenile who was not charged with murder.
Tayler and her parents, who remind her daily that she is still a beautiful girl, think her injuries are an emotional life sentence. The knife damaged a kidney, which requires quarterly checkups, and left other physical scars. She once loved swimming but won't put on a bathing suit now.
Tayler, who has been in counseling, has leaned on friends, too.
She said when she returned to school last year, some kids thought she was a Muslim because of her head wrap. Others thought she was just having a bad hair day. Her friends tell her she still looks pretty.
"I try really hard not to feel sorry for myself. People still say that I look nice. My friends say I'm still the same Tayler," she said. "I don't know. People can tell you things, but you still have to believe them yourself."

As an incumbent of (or candidate for) the Missouri legislature, I, ________________, respect the oath of office to which elected representatives swear or affirm.
I therefore pledge – if elected (or re-elected) to the General Assembly – not to accept gifts of any size from registered lobbyists, lobbying organizations, or others with a vested interest in the performance of my duties for the duration of my service as a legislator in the state of Missouri.
Missourians for Government Reform (MoReform.org) launched last December the "Missouri Gift-Ban Pledge." Throughout the legislative session, we encouraged support for legislation limiting lobbyist gift-giving in Missouri.
Every sitting lawmaker was contacted and encouraged to sign the pledge. Only two did.
Though some lawmakers truly need to be commended, too many just didn't care. Too many lacked the initiative to stand up to lobbyists. Too many lacked the courage to live up to their oath of office. Too many failed to see the need to change a corrupt system that benefits lawmakers without justification.
Our pledge was largely ignored. And legislation reforming the lobbyist/lawmaker relationship died.
Now Missouri citizens need to demand that legislators – and their challengers – confront this issue head on. We cannot allow any legislator to be elected in 2014 without confronting this issue.
Without trust in our lawmakers, we have nothing. If legislators are viewed as bought-and-paid-for, what hope does the average citizen have? There are lots of important issues out there – issues of pressing and dire need of attention.
But cleaning up the lobbyist/lawmaker relationship needs to be the FIRST issue. Without reform, trust is non-existent. Without trust, cynicism trumps hope; apathy squelches progress.
Every seat in the House and half of Senate is up for election this year. Challengers and incumbents must be pressed on this issue – and it needs to come from the people.
Here's what incumbents and challengers must be asked:
1. Do you support legislation regulating lobbyist gift-giving? 35 states already do. Why shouldn't Missouri? If not, why not?
2. Will you sign the Missouri Gift-Ban Pledge?
If Missouri voters make this an issue, lawmakers will be pressed to take a stand. They'll be forced to either support massive reform of the lobbyist/lawmaker dynamic, or rationalize behavior that puts them in the pockets of lobbyists usually at the expense of the public.
Reform will win out. But it'll require the people – and challengers to incumbency – to initiate the change.

Background Prediction of suicide risk is difficult in clinical practice.
Aims To identify changes in clinical presentation predictive of suicide in patients treated for repeated episodes of self-poisoning.
Method A nested case–control study used the Hunter Area Toxicology Service database to identify exposure variables and the National Death Index to identify suicide. Cases were patients who had hospital treatment on more than one occasion between 15 January 1987 and 31 December 2000.
Results There were 31 cases, for which 93 controls were selected. Study variables associated with an increased risk of subsequent suicide were an increase in the number of drugs ingested (odds ratio 2.59, 95% CI 1.48–4.51), an increase in the dose ingested (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.01–1.76), an increase in coma score (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.11–2.66), a decrease in Glasgow Coma Score (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03–1.43) and an increase in drug or alcohol misuse (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.06–5.10).
Conclusions Patients who have escalating severity of self-poisoning episodes are at high risk of completed suicide.
Prediction of suicide for individuals has proved to be elusive (Maris, 2002) and this is usually attributed to the low base rate of suicide (Addy, 1992). Suicide has multiple risk factors and associated comorbidities, such as mood disorders, personality disorders, substance misuse and poor physical health. Although some tools for assessing suicide risk may have a high sensitivity for suicide, they also have low specificity and limited usefulness in clinical practice (Powell et al, 2000; Eagles et al, 2001). In some patients suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviour may increase in severity over time. The comparison of clinical characteristics observed during a series of presentations to clinical care may help to identify markers of escalating self-harm, which might in turn be predictive of subsequent suicide. We have been unable to identify any previous study of indicators of increasing severity of self-harm prior to suicide. Our study therefore aimed to identify changes in clinical presentation predictive of suicide in patients with repeated episodes of hospitaltreated self-poisoning.
The study used a nested case–control design; cases were patients who had been treated for deliberate self-poisoning on more than one occasion by the Hunter Area Toxicology Service (Whyte et al, 1997) and had died by suicide. The Hunter Area Toxicology Service is a regional toxicology unit situated at the Newcastle Mater Misericordiae Hospital in New South Wales; it serves a population of around 350 000 people and is a tertiary referral centre for a further 150 000. All poisoning presentations to emergency departments in the region are either admitted to the unit or notified to the service and entered prospectively into a clinical database. Around 30% of patients presenting with self-poisoning report previous episodes of self-harm, and 18% had presented to the Toxicology Service on more than one occasion; 38% of those who subsequently killed themselves had presented to the service on more than one occasion. Of patients who presented to the service on more than one occasion, 3% completed suicide within 5 years and 4% within 10 years.
A validated, pre-formatted admission sheet was used by medical staff (usually in the emergency department) to record the history and physical examination at the time of admission (Buckley et al, 1999). Psychiatric diagnosis was made according to DSM–III–R or DSM–IV (American Psychiatry Association, 1987, 1994) and confirmed at a weekly meeting. Individual DSM diagnoses were then mapped to DSM–IV major diagnostic categories (mood disorder, substance-related disorder, personality disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorder) for all analyses. These data and additional information from the medical record were entered into the database by two trained personnel, masked to any study hypotheses, at the time of patient discharge. Suicide was identified through data linkage with the National Death Index of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (Reith et al, 2004) and was determined from death certificate data. The 14-year period selected for the study was 15 January 1987 to 31 December 2000, with data linkage up to 31 December 2000.
A control group was selected from the group of patients in the Hunter Area Toxicology Service database who had been treated for self-poisoning on two or more occasions over the same period, but who had not subsequently died by suicide. Patients treated for occupational poisoning or envenomation were excluded, but all deliberate self-poisoning, recreational (drug misuse) and accidental poisoning admissions were included. The Toxicology Service uses the definition of deliberate self-poisoning originally defined by Bancroft et al:
'The deliberate ingestion of more than the prescribed amount of
medicinal substances, or ingestion of substances never intended for human
consumption, irrespective of whether harm was intended'
(Bancroft et al,
Three controls were selected for each case. The controls were matched for gender and 10 year age group, and were selected from within the age group and gender strata randomly using the random number generator function within Excel. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using conditional logistic regression for matched case–control groups using Stata (Stata, 2003). The grouping variable was the age and gender strata for the cases and the matched controls.
The independent variables studied were similar to those used as indicators of medical severity in previous studies of outcome and comparative toxicity in self-poisoning (Reith et al, 2004):
indicators of medical seriousness: intensive care admission, length of stay in intensive care, overall length of stay, presence of seizures, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS; Teasdale & Jennet, 1974) score on presentation and coma scale (Plum & Posner, 1972) on presentation;
indicators of serious intent: number of tablets ingested, total dose ingested in defined daily doses (Capella, 1997), number of different medications ingested, time from overdose to presentation and choice of poisoning method (carbon monoxide v. medications);
changes in drug and alcohol status (medical staff ratings in the emergency department);
type of poisoning, psychiatric diagnosis (new diagnosis on subsequent presentation) and new occurrence of involuntary psychiatric admission or absconding.
The variables that were associated with subsequent suicide were then tested for their clinical usefulness as predictors of suicide (Sacket, 1992). Continuous variables were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots, and the cut-off points that resulted in the greatest proportion of correct classifications (i.e. patients correctly classified as 'suicide' or 'not suicide' by the test) were used to generate dichotomous variables. These variables were then assessed for their suitability as predictors by calculating sensitivity, specificity and the respective 95% confidence intervals using Stata. Positive predictive values and negative predictive values were not calculated because these variables would have been biased by the pre-test probabilities of the sample being affected by the case–control design.
There were 34 patients who presented on two or more occasions and subsequently died by suicide. For three of these patients death occurred during the last admission (all from medicinal poisoning) and these cases were excluded from the analysis. This resulted in 31 cases, for which 93 controls were selected (Table 1). For the cases, the median time from last admission to suicide was 305 days (range 4–2636). Nine of the controls died during the study period: two from cardiovascular causes, one from respiratory causes, one from endocrine causes, one from hyposedative dependence, one from opioid dependence, one from malignancy and one from accidental poisoning; for one patient the cause of death was unknown.
The indicators of medical seriousness associated with subsequent suicide were an increase in coma score and a decrease in GSC score (both indicating greater degrees of coma) in the cases compared with the controls (Table 2). As indicators of intent, the number of medications, number of tablets and total dose ingested increased from first to last visit in the cases, but remained stable or decreased in the controls. This indicated a significantly increased poison exposure from first to last presentation in the case group relative to the control group. There was also a worsening in drug and alcohol status in the case group compared with the control group. There was no significant change in time to presentation, nor in intensive care unit admission or length of stay. There was no significant change in the patterns of poison exposure. There was no significant difference in change in length of stay, psychiatric diagnosis or discharge destination between the groups.
When the significant variables were examined for their sensitivity and specificity as tests for patients who would subsequently kill themselves, none was sufficiently useful to be used alone as a screening test for subsequent completed suicide (Table 3). The most promising predictor variable was the change in the number of tablets ingested, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.73 (95% CI 0.59–0.88) (Fig. 1). An increase of 70 or more in the number of tablets ingested had a high specificity, and the best sensitivity of any individual test (Table 3). Combining this with deterioration in drug and alcohol misuse status increased the sensitivity to 47%. However, combining an increase of 70 or more in the number of tablets ingested with a decrease in GCS score of 2 or more resulted in the best combined test, with a sensitivity of 53% and a specificity of 87%. When tested for their association with subsequent suicide, as a post hoc analysis, the odds ratio for a 70 or more increase in tablets ingested was 3.59 (95% CI 0.98–3.15), for a two or more increase in number of drugs ingested was 3.60 (95% CI 1.03–12.53) and for a decrease in GCS score of 2 or more was 5.36 (95% CI 1.34–21.53).
Methodological issues
Some of the limitations of our study include the number of deaths in the control group, the validity of the resident assessment of drug and/or alcohol misuse and the difference in follow-up time between the cases and controls. Some of the deaths in the control group might have been misclassified suicides; the resultant bias would be in the direction of a negative result (type 2 error) and hence would not affect the positive findings of the study. However, other potential risk factors such as length of stay in hospital and discharge to an involuntary psychiatric admission or absconding might have been incorrectly found not to be associated with suicide. The longer mean follow-up time in the control group is expected, because the deaths of those in the case group would have limited the follow-up period. The longer follow-up time in the control group would also be expected to lead to a negative result (type 2 error), and would not have affected the positive findings of the present study. The medical officer's rating of lifetime drug or alcohol misuse, when previously compared with the gold standard of DSM–IV (substance abuse) as rated by clinical psychiatric assessment, had a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 60% (Dawson, 2000). The medical officer's rating of lifetime drug or alcohol misuse is probably a broader measure of substance exposure or misuse than the DSM diagnosis of substance- related disorder, which was also used in this study. Hence, the medical officer's assessment of lifetime substance misuse, although readily performed, does not correspond to the DSM–IV criteria. The nested case–control design used in our study, unlike some other case–control designs, was not affected by ascertainment or recall bias because the Hunter Area Toxicology Service treats all self-poisoning patients from the region and all of the exposure variables were collected prospectively.
Risk factors for suicide after self-harm
People who deliberately harm themselves have an increased risk of suicide (Owens et al, 2002). Previously identified risk factors for subsequent suicide following deliberate self-harm include previous self-harm, male gender, older age, psychiatric illness (particularly schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder and substance-related disorders), medical illness and substance misuse (Suokas et al, 2001; Beautrais, 2003). Specifically following deliberate self-poisoning, identified additional risk factors for completed suicide include psychiatric disorders of childhood, male gender, increasing age, more than one previous suicide attempt, living alone, migrant status and being widowed or separated (Reith et al, 2004).
Our study showed that an increase in some markers of the severity of self-poisoning episodes was associated with subsequent death by suicide. The indicators of increased severity were indicators of potential physical harm (such as coma score) and increased severity of poison exposure. An increase in ingested dose of 70 or more tablets or capsules, an increase of two or more in the number of different agents ingested and an increase of 50 or more in the number of defined daily doses ingested were highly specific for subsequent suicide. These indicators had much greater specificity than previously identified indicators of future suicide such as Beck's Hopelessness Scale: 51% for hospitalised patients with suicidal ideation and 41% for psychiatric out-patients (Beck et al, 1985, 1990). However, the sensitivity of Beck's Hopelessness Scale was greater: 91% for hospitalised patients with suicidal ideation and 94% for psychiatric out-patients (Beck et al, 1985, 1990). Hence, although instruments such as Beck's Hopelessness Scale may correctly identify those patients who subsequently die by suicide, but at the expense of also incorrectly identifying many who will not (Beck et al, 1985, 1990), our approach would not identify a large proportion of subsequent suicides.
The demographic characteristics and long-term outcomes of the patients treated by the Hunter Area Toxicology Services are similar to some populations in the UK (Hawton et al, 2003). The characteristics of the patients treated for repeated self-harm and their subsequent long-term outcomes are also similar (Zahl & Hawton, 2004). In addition, the factors found to be predictive of suicide in our study (number of tablets or different drugs ingested, and Glasgow Coma Scale score) can easily be measured and recorded by non-psychiatrists. The GCS is widely used internationally and would be expected to be part of the routine management of a patient presenting with self-poisoning. Hence the results of the study can be applied even to units where the clinicians have no special interest in self-harm. If the rate of suicide is known in the population, the individual's risk of subsequent suicide can be estimated using likelihood ratios derived from this study (Sacket, 1992).
Interventions to prevent subsequent suicide
People admitted to hospital for treatment of self-poisoning constitute a population with a greatly increased risk of completed suicide (Owens et al, 2002), and within this group patients presenting on subsequent occasions with escalating severity of poisoning may be at higher risk. Hence interventions designed to prevent suicide or to reduce the repetition of self-poisoning could be tested in this population. A few interventions have demonstrated a decrease in rates of suicide – a letter-writing intervention (Motto & Bostrom, 2001) – or in repetition of self-harm: dialectical behaviour therapy, for chronically parasuicidal women meeting criteria for borderline personality disorder (Linehan et al, 1991); psychoanalytically informed partial hospitalisation, for people with borderline personality disorder who harm themselves (Bateman & Fonagy, 1999); a brief interpersonal therapy intervention for hospital patients admitted for deliberate self-harm (Guthrie et al, 2001); and depot flupentixol (Montgomery et al, 1979).
Although low cost interventions may be applied in all cases of deliberate self-poisoning, high-cost interventions may need to be restricted to high-risk subgroups. In order to apply such interventions it is first necessary to be able to identify patients at increased risk, without identifying an unnecessarily large number of people who are not at risk. Using the predictor variables identified from this study for those presenting with at least two episodes of self-poisoning would identify around half of those at risk (long-term) of death by suicide. To do this would require accurate data collection and the ability to compare sequential admissions. This process can be achieved using an electronic database, which could automatically identify patients at high risk of completed suicide. A model for such a system currently exists, where a clinical database could be used to inform psychiatry services of high risk patients (Whyte et al, 1997).
Clinical Implications and Limitations
Patients whose repeated self-poisoning episodes are of escalating severity are at increased risk of completed suicide.
These patients may warrant additional short-term and long-term attention from clinical services in order to reduce their long-term risk of subsequent suicide.
Any long-term system of monitoring and treating self-poisoning patients might include these markers of increased risk.
Some of the deaths in the control group might have been misclassified suicides.
The resident assessment of drug and/or alcohol misuse differs from the DSM–IV substance abuse criteria.
There was a shorter follow-up time for cases than for controls.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by Curtis Bosma at HighGround Dairy in Chicago, IL.
Class III Futures
Cheese futures continued to slide lower Wednesday, but strength in dry whey futures helped the Class III market remain tight. Class III futures settled slightly higher in the front months, but Oct – June 2015 settled between unchanged and 13 cents lower. Wednesday's USDA National Dairy Product Sales Report (NDPSR) was expected to provide more bearish news based on this recent trend, but instead the prices reported provided support for the market. Class III futures turned green in the afternoon session, trading between 4 and 23 cents higher through the end of the year.
Class IV Futures
Bullishness in the front months of butter and NFDM futures helped bring Class IV futures slight higher in August and September. However, the first four months of 2015 received a slight beating as the market settled 5 to 15 cents lower. The NDPSR showed a significant increase in butter prices in the U.S. , but the futures have not yet had any sort of reaction to this.
CME Spot
Buyers were active again during Wednesday's spot cheese market. Four cheddar blocks traded as the market moved two cents higher, and no cheddar barrels traded but bids pushed the market up half a penny. Spot NFDM continued to have aggressive sellers as loads were offered lower and lower until a pair traded at $1.5700. The spot butter market seems to be content with its current price level as nine loads traded Wednesday and the market settled right back where it opened.
Disclaimer: The risk of loss in trading futures and options can be substantial. Past performance is not indicative of futures results.

I am currently a 34 barely A cup size after nursing 4 children for the last 8 hrs. I don't want to look "fake" would this size I mentioned be horrible. Should I not go with high profile? Or regular? My base for the moderate was not very big, guess I have a small breast base. I don't want them to just hang out and down! I just don't know much about this.
I'm 5'5", 115lbs. Would a High Profile 400 Look to Big? Should I Go Low Profile?
Doctor Answers 6
400 cc High Profile Implants Too Big?
A 400 cc high profile implant may be appropriate for you, and, at your size, would likely make you a C cup. You should probably not go with low or moderate profile at that volume given your small chest width. The plastic surgeon should be able to guide you further based upon goals and measurements.
Implant size
I can not tell you what the best implant for you would be without a proper exam and a review of your specific goals. Sorry. Best to be seen in person.
Breast implant size.
I agree with the other physicians in that a recommendation regarding size of breast implants is nearly impossible without an exam or at least photos.
With that being said, I tend to find that High Profile implants give a more artificial look to the breasts as the projection is much greater than others.
I generally use the Moderate Plus Profile implant from Mentor as it gives a more natural projection for base diameter in most of my patients.
The Moderate Profile (or regular profile) is relatively flat and has a much wider base than projection.
Discuss this with your surgeon and show photos of your desires. Also use a sizing system like the Mentor volume sizing that tends to give a more realistic look than placing implants in the bra.

Implant size selection
It is not possible to make any recommendations online without a formal physical exam. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:
1.Dimensional planning
2.Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.
Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to "try on" a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will "fit" just right to give a soft natural fuller look. If you have decided on saline implants, then based on the gel sizer you select, we can guide you to the saline implant that achieves a similar look.
Hope this helps.

Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies ( in regards to best breast implant size/profile) who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "fake" or "C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Low profile looks less fake
When you look at women with natural large breasts there is always a large base width. If the fake look is to be avoided then a wider base width, lower profile is my preference. 400cc sounds fine, though hard to tell without a photo.

Bless its lopsided heart, Tropicana Field deserves better.
It deserves better than sabotage from inside, and it deserves better than blind faith from outside. It deserves real people having real discussions about what's best for the future.
Yes, the stadium was built on the cheap. And, yes, it is a homely mess.
But catwalks, broken lights and ESPN blowhards have no business in the discussion of whether the Tampa Bay area needs to consider the construction of a new stadium.
When Rays manager Joe Maddon said Tuesday that Tropicana Field was improper for Major League Baseball after 14 seasons, it sounded almost as silly as St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster once saying the catwalks were the equivalent of Wrigley Field's ivy.
This isn't about artificial turf or low-hanging speakers or lightning strikes on national television. This is about money. And it is about the future of baseball in Tampa Bay. And it might even be about the city of St. Petersburg's reputation and its ultimate direction.
So can we please cut through the nonsense?
There is a problem here, and it needs to be solved. Attendance and revenue streams at Tropicana Field are not sufficient for Major League Baseball's needs.
That doesn't mean Stu Sternberg is going broke, and it doesn't mean that we are ignoring the reality of Florida's economic crisis. It is simply an acknowledgement that the Rays are making far less money than 90-95 percent of their baseball business partners.
The question, is what do we do about it?
Because I feel confident in saying this problem is not going to solve itself. It is clear, each side is already researching new synonyms for intractable.
Sternberg rescued this franchise from the gutter and created a winning team with a pristine reputation almost overnight. He feels like he has done his part.
And the city built this stadium on the backs of its taxpayers, and handed it over to Major League Baseball at a token cost. St. Petersburg feels it has done its part.
And you know what? Both sides are right.
Yet the problem still remains.
The city has to acknowledge that support for the Rays at Tropicana Field has fallen horribly short of expectations. And the Rays have to acknowledge that they were well aware of the shortcomings and got the team at a bargain price because of that.
So let's stop trashing the stadium and the market. And let's stop acting as if the Tropicana Field lease is the Magna Carta.
Because if the two sides continue at this pace, neither is going to get the outcome it desires. Sternberg, I believe, will eventually sell the team. And St. Petersburg, I am certain, will eventually chase baseball from this market.
So where do we begin?
The Rays need to be honest. They need to say they believe their best chance for survival is in downtown Tampa. And the mayor needs to be realistic. He needs to say he is willing to listen to suggestions that will help St. Petersburg pay off its debts and create something visionary at the Tropicana Field site.
Of course, there are other partners in this dance.
Major League Baseball, for instance. I know the commissioner has had his hands full with an ownership mess in Los Angeles, and a collective bargaining agreement with the union, but he will eventually have to turn his attention this way.
And Bud Selig needs to acknowledge that MLB owes St. Petersburg a debt. We were his street corner tart for more than a decade, helping stadiums get built in other markets. Maybe that doesn't get us a lifetime pass, but MLB is flush with enough cash that it needs to take an active part in any new stadium discussions here.
And then, naturally, there are you and your neighbors.
Ultimately, you need to decide whether Tampa Bay wants to remain a Major League Baseball community. Because the Rays are not going to be at Tropicana Field in 10 years. They will either move to Hillsborough, or they will move elsewhere.
I don't know what the final percentage might be, but any new stadium is going to involve some public funding. That's not ideal. It's probably not even fair. But it is reality.
If you still think Major League Baseball is a way to attract more attention, more exposure and more money to a market, then it might be worth an investment. If you think it adds to the quality of life for you and your children, then that also is a worthy investment.
It is not an easy issue, nor a simple decision.
So let's stop acting like it is. Let's stop shouting. Let's stop whining. Let's stop arguing.
Because we all deserve better.

LOS ANGELES — Patrick Kane skated to a patch of open ice near the painted Stanley Cup logo and fired a long, low shot at the Los Angeles net, hoping to hit an invisible hole.
His Chicago Blackhawks teammates weren't shocked when he found it.
Kane's career has been defined by his brilliance in the Blackhawks' biggest moments, and his tiebreaking goal with 3:45 to play in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals will rank among the best.
Kane scored two goals and set up Duncan Keith's tying score with 8:26 left, and the Blackhawks forced a decisive seventh game with a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.
After two straight elimination wins, the Blackhawks are heading home with a chance to advance thanks to the forward who saves his best for the brightest lights. Kane had one point in the series' first four games before scoring seven more in Chicago's consecutive elimination victories.
Game 7 is in Chicago on Sunday night. The winner gets the New York Rangers, who eliminated Montreal on Thursday night.
Both teams blew late leads in the third period, and Drew Doughty was primed to be Los Angeles' hero with a tying goal and a tiebreaking assist on Alec Martinez's score with 12:22 left. But after Kane took control, Corey Crawford came up with several late saves as Chicago hung on.
The conference finals rematch between the NHL's last two champions will be decided in a winner-take-all Game 7 — the third of the postseason for the Kings, who are 6-0 in elimination games this spring.
Crawford made 26 saves and exchanged harsh words with counterpart Jonathan Quick as the Blackhawks won for the ninth time in their last 11 elimination games.
Chicago trailed 3-1 in the conference finals after its second straight loss at Staples Center on Monday, but the Blackhawks prolonged the series with an epic double-overtime victory in Game 5.
"I'm frustrated, but I'm over it pretty quickly," said Quick, who made 21 saves. "And we've got another game to play, Game 7. We've had two chances to close out this series, and we are not going to blow a third one."
Doughty played 26 minutes in another dynamic game for the Kings, who were less than nine minutes away from their second trip to the Stanley Cup finals in three years before Kane outdid Doughty.
Chicago led 2-1 entering the third after getting goals from Kane and Ben Smith early in the second period, and Staples Center echoed with worry until Doughty tied it with 14:28 left. The Kings' dominant defenseman took the puck from the point into the slot and fired a wrist shot past a screened Corey Crawford for his third goal in four games.
Doughty then collected the puck during a power play and fed Martinez for a low shot through traffic, putting the Kings ahead 3-2 and setting off a deafening celebration.
But the Blackhawks pressed for a tying goal, and got it when Keith beat Quick with 8:26 left. With the crowd hushed again, Kane dangled and scored the winner.
Kane is a familiar nightmare for Kings fans: He won last season's Conn Smythe Trophy largely because of his dominance against Los Angeles in the conference finals. But Kane was just one problem for Los Angeles' normally solid defense, which gave up numerous scoring chances.
"I feel like I'm a broken record here, but we've got to be sharp in our own end," Martinez said. "We weren't making plays that we normally make. We've got to be quick to contact on them. We weren't very sharp."Crawford exchanged contact and angry words with Quick after the second-period horn. Quick was angry after Chicago agitator Andrew Shaw ran into him, and the goalies then had a brief confrontation in front of Chicago's bench. Crawford shook his glove and blocker at his waist, miming his willingness to fight Quick while a linesman separated them.
Dwight King scored an early goal for the Kings, who fell agonizingly short of their third Stanley Cup finals trip in franchise history.
NOTES: The Blackhawks went with seven defensemen for Game 6, dressing Sheldon Brookbank for the first time since May 13. Kris Versteeg and Peter Regin were scratched. ... King hadn't scored a goal in Los Angeles' last 10 games. ... Kings owner Phil Anschutz made a rare appearance at Staples Center. Prospective new Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and point guard Chris Paul also attended the game.

One of Minnesota's greatest resources is its 10,000 lakes.
For outdoor enthusiasts, whether they be on lakes to swim, ski or fish, Minnesota is renowned for not only its abundance of lakes, but the quality of the water in the lakes. However, that pristine quality of Minnesota water is in jeopardy from one a small, but dangerous invasive species – the zebra mussel.
At the meeting of the Wright County Board, the commissioners heard from Joe Jacobs of the Wright County Soil and Water Conservation District to discuss the growing epidemic of the spread of zebra mussels and the damage they can do to lakes once they get a stronghold.
"We haven't had any infestations in Wright County yet, but there are serious concerns because zebra mussels spread fast once they get into a lake and take over," Jacobs said. "We've already seen what has happened in Lake Minnetonka, Prior Lake and several lakes in the Brainerd area. The infestation of zebra mussels has been growing and, once they get into a lake, they multiply and spread very quickly."
The state has become so concerned about the problem that, in the last legislative session, millions of dollars in funding was approved to combat the zebra mussel infestation issue. Wright County was awarded $108,000 in funding for 2014 and $240,000 in 2015 to address the issues. Counties have been left to their own devices how to utilize the money, but the primary elements in the program are a combination of education, boat inspections, treatment and having feet on the ground to take the fight to the zebra mussel.
The issue is a concern for Wright County because water is a resource in the county. There are 59 public boat landings in the county and that is how most lakes get infested — when a boat carrying zebra mussels gets put into the water and the mussels detach from the boat and start the process of multiplying and taking over a lake. The 19 Wright County lake associations have already joined in the fight. The question now is how will the money be spent? The price of success or failure has big implications.
"It has changed how we look at water quality," Jacobs said. "If affects everyone from the recreational use of lakes to property values around lakes. There is a lot at stake and there needs to be a strong effort made to preserve our lakes."
The board approved having the Soil and Water Conservation District assemble a list of parties most directly involved to create a committee/task force to assess the issues and determine how best to utilize the $350,000 the county will receive over the next 18 months to wage war on zebra mussels. The matter will be returned to the board later this summer to discuss the plan of attack.
In other items on the agenda, the board:
AWARDED the bid for the construction of a salt storage shed at the highway department's Maple Lake truck maintenance station to Greystone Construction out of Shakopee in the amount of $109,720.
ANNOUNCED three meeting cancellations well in advance of them becoming issues. There are five Tuesdays in two remaining months of 2014 (September and December), which require one of those meetings to be canceled. The board selected the Sept. 2 meeting because if comes on the Tuesday after Labor Day and the Dec. 9 meeting, which coincides with the Association of Minnesota Counties annual meeting. The board also decided to cancel the Nov. 11 board meeting because it falls on Veteran's Day this year and the county courthouse will be closed.
AUTHORIZED signatures on an emergency fund grant program from the Department of Public Safety for use in the county attorney's victim/witness program. No county matching funds were required for the grant.
REFERRED to the personnel committee a highway department request to fill a highway maintenance position that has remained vacant under the county's hiring policy.
APPROVED signatures on a revised contract with the Minnesota Department of Corrections concerning the county housing work release violators. The original contract had the wrong start and finish dates (July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2104) and were changed to reflect the contract runs from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
SET a capital improvement finance committee for 10:30 a.m. following the Aug. 5 board meeting to discuss the county's capital improvement plan and what projects will receive priority for potential funding from the capital improvement account of turned back budget money to the county.

I went last Tuesday with my husband, kids & my mother (who was visiting from Virginia.) We all watch the show (except for my 7 week old ;) and I have to say I was thrilled to get to go share in this with my most favorite people in the whole wide world!! It was still crowded, but not so much that my husband couldn't maneuver the stroller through - the elevator was helpful in getting to the lower level. My mom was in heaven in spite of her hip hurting.. little benches scattered throughout for resting. We went in the garden area and met the cute lil goats. We got the infamous cowboy coffee from the Common Grounds food truck & it was soooo good! I want to go back soon. I was so busy looking at the things mom and my daughters were pointing at that I failed to discover much myself. But kudos to my sweet wonderful hubby: as a "push present," he bought me that wonderful leather purse called "Joanna's Favorite Bag." Chip & Joanna have done a lot to revitalize Waco and bring vacationers into the town; kudos to them! Must go back soon!ReplyDelete

text: 5 Questions with 'Richard III' director Marlette Carter By Bill Lynch February 20, 2013 Story Share Courtesy photo Jeff Bukovinsky stars as the villainous King Richard in the Alban Arts Center's production of Shakespeare's "Richard III," which opens Friday. WANT TO GO?"Richard III"WHERE: Alban Arts CenterWHEN: 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and March 1-2; 2 p.m. Sunday and March 3TICKETS: Adults $15, students and seniors $10INFO: 304-721-8896 or www.albanartscenter.comCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The long-dead British king, Richard the Third, has been in the news lately. The monarch's remains were discovered buried deep beneath a parking lot in Leicaster, England, near where the Battle of Bosworth Field took place and where Richard was killed by the forces of Henry VII.Suddenly people around the world are talking about the king and his story, which director Marlette Carter admitted was pretty good timing for the Alban Arts Center's staging of William Shakespeare's "Richard III" that opens Friday in St. Albans.Gazz spoke with Carter about the discovered bones in England, the enduring nature of Shakespeare's work and why the Alban is tackling one of Shakespeare's most often performed plays. Q: So did you guys have anything to do with the discovery of King Richard's bones a couple of weeks ago? A: (laughing) "Our PR department is second to none. We snuck over to England a few years ago. The hard part was making it look like we never put the body in the ground."Q: Kidding aside, why do this particular play? A: "It's one of Shakespeare's history plays, and the last time I can find that one of those history plays was performed publicly in Charleston, I believe it was 1893, and an actress dropped dead on the stage. "The last time 'Richard the Third' was sort of done around here was at the Charleston's Women's Club in 1931, and they just had a reading of it. That's what I could find out without spending the rest of my life digging through old copies of the Charleston Gazette."Now, a lot of Shakespeare has been done. Charleston Stage Company has done a lot of Shakespeare. They've done the tragedies and most of the comedies -- and there was some talk of actually doing an all-female version of 'Henry III,' but that never happened."Q: Shakespeare can be a bit intimidating. Was it hard to find a cast? A: "It was really astonishing. We had 29 people come out for this one. Most of the time you're lucky if you get six or seven people to come out each night [of auditions], but there was a lot of interest."For Richard, we had a lot of really fabulous male actors show up, but I selected Jeff Bukovinsky. He's a very dynamic actor, a very physical actor and has an immense amount of presence on the stage."And yes, he's a very big Shakespeare nerd."Q: What's the gist of the play, the 25-cent version?A: "Oh wow, it would be easier to give you the twenty dollar version, but this is a play about ambition. Richard is very ambitious."It's also a play about spitting in someone's eye. Richard is deformed, ugly, and he wants to get back at people for not giving him the credit he deserves. He was a good person who became a very bad person." Q: What's next for the Alban Arts Center?A: "Well, we're doing 'A Delicate Balance' by Edward Albee, directed by Patrick Felton. We're also getting ready for our Alban Arts Academy, which offers acting, improv and painting classes."Reach Bill Lynch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5195.

Feds: Chicago cops helped Latin Kings with Chicago, Indiana crimes
The Chicago Police Department is once again having its name and reputation tarnished by officers who are alleged to have helped the very criminals they are supposed to be arresting.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of Northern Indiana on Friday announced the indictment of 19 members of the Latin Kings street gang, as well as Chicago police officers Alex Guerrero and Antonio Martinez Jr., for committing armed robberies on behalf of the notorious Latin Kings street gang.
Guerrero's and Martinez's alleged involvement are most troubling, officials say, because they used their badges and, in some cases, their full Chicago police uniforms.
"These men are alleged to have used their statuses as police officers to commit various illegal acts at the direction of Latin King leaders," U.S. Attorney for Northern Indiana David Capp said at a Friday afternoon press conference at his office in Hammond, Indiana. "The indictment alleges that often while wearing their badge and or utilizing their police-issued vehicle or police-issued weapon."
Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says Guerrero and Martinez undermine the good work his department is doing to take guns off the streets and arrest violent criminals.
"I want to express our outrage and disgust of the entire Chicago Police Department for the alleged actions of Martinez and Guerrero. It's unspeakable. It's something that we cannot tolerate," McCarthy said while standing next to Capp and flanked by nearly every police chief from Lake County, Indiana. "It reminds us how we need to redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of all of our officers."
Guerrero was arrested on Thursday, while Martinez resigned from the force two years ago due to medical reasons. Neither is accused of being actual members of the Latin Kings; instead, they're accused of assisting the gang to make money.
"I'm glad that these officers were arrested. I'm glad that these officers are off the street," McCarthy said. "We have to ensure that these things don't happen again. … We have to ensure that we have systems in place to ensure integrity within the police department."
Prosecutors allege the Latin Kings are responsible for no less than 75 criminal acts and 19 murders in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana area, as well as Big Spring, Texas and into Mexico.
This gang operated primarily in the South Chicago neighborhood and northern Lake County, Indiana.
Nineteen of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to operate a criminal enterprise through numerous acts of violence including murder, attempted murder, assault, and various firearm and drug offenses.
Although 15 Latin Kings members were indicted Friday, only 14 names were released, one name remaining sealed.
Those indicted are: Hiluterio Chaves, 41, Emiliano Esparza, 40, Paulino Salazar, 29, Gabriel Jalomos, 24, Bianca Fernandez, 22, all of Chicago; Sergio Robles, 23, Santiago Gudino, 27, Oscar Gonzalez, 21, Victor Mesa, 23, all of Hammond; David Lira, 28, of Lansing, Ill.; and Antonio Gudino, 30, of East Chicago, Ind.
An additional six people are indicted in the case but were arrested in the last few months. They include: Alexander Vargas, 34, of Highland, Ind.; Sisto Bernal, 45, Jason Ortiz, 28, Brandon Clay, 24, and Martin Anaya, 41, all of Chicago; and Ivan Quiroz, 30, of Posen, Ill.
Most are in federal custody; however, David "Flaco" Lira and Paulino "Chino" Salazar are considered fugitives.
Capp said much of the violence allegedly committed by the defendants were against rival gang members and involved disputes over gun or drug turf.
Capp said members of the FBI, ATF and local law enforcement have recovered millions of dollars in cocaine and marijuana from the gang.
"These gang members went back and forth across the state line. The indictment shows the reach of this criminal organization," Capp said. "They are even instructing their Latin King members in Texas."
Capp said Chicago Police Officers Martinez and Guerrero were involved in an armed burglary of a warehouse in Rockford, Ill., where drugs were stolen.
Martinez and Guerrero allegedly made traffic stops of rival gang members. The officers would confiscate any drugs, guns or cash found and turn them over to the Latin Kings.
In December 2006, Latin King leader Sisto Bernal ordered Guerrero and Martinez to head to the Hammond residence of James Walsh, a rival gang leader.
At Walsh's home, officers allegedly stole cash, drugs and firearms from Walsh and turned them over to the Latin Kings.
Walsh was eventually killed in a double-homicide in Griffith, Ind., just a few months later.
Capp detailed murders allegedly committed at the hands or direction of several other of the named defendants, homicides that occurred in Chicago, or in East Chicago and Hammond, Indiana.
"The gang and violence street problem that we have in this region is not an East Chicago problem. It is not a Hammond problem. And it is not a Gary problem," Capp said. "It is a regional problem that crosses state lines."
Friday's announcement comes a week after Capp announced indictments against several members of the Imperial Gangster Disciples in East Chicago. He says pressure on local street gangs will continue.
"This federal local law enforcement team is here to stay," Capp said.

William Gallas: 'Magic' Harry Redknapp reason for Spurs success
William Gallas has hailed manager
Harry Redknapp's 'magic' as the inspiration behind Tottenham's fairytale first season in the Champions League.
Spurs swept aside Werder Bremen 3-0 at White Hart Lane on Wednesday to reach the knockout stages of the competition with a game to spare.
The club last mixed it with Europe's elite almost half-a-century earlier and Gallas has no doubt the credit for the club's revival goes to Redknapp.
'Maybe he has something magic, you know?' said the 33-year-old, who retained the captaincy after being handed the armband in last Saturday's North London derby victory at Arsenal.
Redknapp returned the compliment by comparing a Gallas tackle on Bremen's Marko Marin to Bobby Moore's famous challenge on Jairzinho at the 1970 World Cup.
But Gallas refused to dwell on his own display, which helped Tottenham keep a first clean sheet for 17 games, adding: 'It's very important for the team when you don't concede a goal. That means everybody works hard.'
And, like Redknapp, the former Gunners man believes there is now no reason why Spurs cannot challenge for major honours.
'After Saturday, I think the players know we can do something,' he insisted.

Traders sell yen and buy US dollars
Thanks to Friday's strong payroll numbers, the US dollar soared last week, jumping nearly 100 points on its trade weighted index. According to reports from sharecast.com, it's the biggest rise since June, on perceptions that the Federal Reserve might have to raise rates.
The recent rise in the dollar index, also saw it close above its down trend line from the August 17th highs. It also closed above its 50 day moving average, which is the first time since April of this year, both positive technical indicators of a possible sentiment change.
Traders appeared to sell yen and buy dollars, in a way to cover their short dollar positions on speculation that interest rates will increase in the US before June of next year. Sterling will be in focus this week, with Wednesday's Pre Budget report to look forward to.
