Good news for Wendy Williams' fans — The Wendy Williams Show is getting a face-lift for its upcoming season 4 — will air in high definition when it returns September 10 and will also feature a new studio, enhanced set and an extended "Hot Topics" segment.
Hollywood Reporter: "The new set design — which was overseen by the show's set designer Mark Sloan,with input from Williams and others — will incorporate the host's signature colors, pink and purple.
"People will recognize the set from last season, but this season it will be enhanced," Williams told The Hollywood Reporter. Additionally, "we're using high-def, which will make everything sharper, and we have a bigger [studio] space."
Williams also said the "Hot Topics" segment — a "fan favorite" in which she delivers her take on the biggest headlines — previously ran about 10-12 minutes, but the expanded segment will run "a good 18 minutes."
"And that's before we even go to commercial," she said. "We get a lot of ground covered in that time."
The show also has added two talent producers for its fourth season: Stephanie Sacco, who will head up the department, overseeing all celebrity bookings with a focus on film and television guests, and Anthony Lopez, who will handle music, celebrity author, comedy and Broadway bookings.
I have watched The Wendy Williams Show a few times, while I am not a big gossip fan, she has a big following and has improved a great deal. Congratulations Wendy Williams!

Broken pipe leaks raw sewage near city park
REEDSPORT, Ore. - A broken pipe leaked raw sewage near Bicentennial Park in Reedsport.
The spill was discovered on June 4.
Once the city found the broken pipe, crews were able to repair it and prevent further contamination.
For now, Providence Creek is considered contaminated and officials are urging people to stay away from it.
The state Department of Environmental Quality estimated the broken pipe spilled between 8,000 and 28,000 gallons of sewage per day for an unknown period of time.
But the city said the duration and amount of the spill remains unknown.
"I would ask the DEQ where those numbers came from," said Jonathan Wright, Reedsport's city manager. "We're just fortunate this one occurred in an area that could easily be contained and far enough away from people that it really doesn't cause a real health concern."
The city is still testing the area and urges people to stay away until the contamination is confirmed to be gone.

Lucknow: Hewlett-Packard India Pvt. Ltd emerged as the lowest bidder in the Uttar Pradesh government project to buy 150,000 laptops for students in the state, which could restore its leadership in the Indian PC market.
The order could be divided among other vendors such as Acer India Pvt. Ltd, Lenovo India Pvt. Ltd and HCL Infosystems Ltd, which also qualified in the technical round, although HP may get the biggest share.
A UP Electronics Corp Ltd official said a decision is expected within the next four-five days. If the order is split among multiple vendors, the other companies will have to match the lowest price quoted by HP (around Rs.16,000 per laptop or Rs.19,000 with taxes and duties), the official said on condition of anonymity.
Other companies may find it difficult to match the price quoted by HP.
"If you look at all the bids, the difference between the lowest and some of the other bids is quite wide," said an official at one of the companies that wasn't the lowest bidder. "It would have been easier had it been a difference of one or two per cent, but that's not the case."
Sumanta Mukherjee, lead analyst for computing devices at CyberMedia Research (CMR), said that since "no government will want to keep all its eggs in one basket", the contract will be split in all probability.
A similar Tamil Nadu order for around 900,000 laptops was also split among several vendors—HCL, Acer, HP, RP Infosystems Pvt. Ltd, Wipro and Lenovo.
The price quoted by Lenovo, which emerged as the lowest bidder and got the highest chunk of the order, was Rs.13,939 per laptop.
According to an 11 December report in the Hindustan Times, HCL quoted around Rs.22,000 with taxes per laptop, Lenovo around Rs.24,000 and Acer approximately Rs.25,200 for the UP deal.
Companies may match the HP price to add volumes, even though the deal may be a drag on their margins, Mukherjee said.
This will help "companies while bidding for other contracts", he said. "But as the Tamil Nadu deal has proved, such deals may not be very good for the bottomline."
The Tamil Nadu contract was delayed because vendors found it difficult to service the deal at the agreed price as component costs rose due to currency fluctuations and a scarcity due to floods in Thailand.
For HP, the deal would act as a boost, Mukherjee said.
The company, which was the market leader in the personal computer market in the country for many years, was dislodged two years ago by Dell. According to market research firm Gartner, the company has a market share of 15.5% at the end of September quarter and stands at the number three spot with Lenovo and Acer at number one and two, respectively. Dell is down at number four.
An official of the company who did not want to be named confirmed that it had emerged as the lowest bidder but said it was waiting for the final decision from the government. "Obviously, if we win the tender, it will be a big thing for the company," the person said.

HISTORY: [Some Heroes of the American Revolution (In the SC Upper Country), Bailey, 1924; reprinted 1976, Southern History Press, Easley, SC, p. 224.] 1776 In the area of Spartanburg County, South Carolina Captain James FORD and his wife were killed by Indians sympathetic with the British. FORD's daughters were taken captive by the Indians in this attack. FORD lived on the Enoree river near a placed called the Canebrake. Settlers sympathetic to the British sat beneath poles bound in white cloth, called "passovers." These were supposed to protect Tories from Indian attack, but FORD and his family were not so protected, even though they had a passover. Later, the daughters of Captain FORD were freed from their captivity. NOTE: The above mentioned daughters were captured on 20 June 1776. It is said Cassandra FORD was one of those daughters captured. QUESTION: Was the other captured daughter Permilia FORD, who soon after married William MITCHUSSON? I think it likely is significant that Permelia and William MITCHUSSON named one of their male children James Ford MITCHUSSON, and that they named their next female child Cassandra MITCHUSSON. James was a Loyalist who served as Captain of the South Carolina Provincial Militia of the Upper or Sparta area of Ninety-Six District. He served under Colonel Thomas FLETCHALL. William FORD was among those who rescued Cassandra FORD from the Indians.
NOTES: She was captured by Indians on 20 June 1776, but later released. Her father and mother were killed that same day by the Indians.

Judgement on the Pallavi Purkayastha case is awaited — and I hope it's severe as hell.
Pallavi was a young lawyer living in a Mumbai building with her partner, successful and independent. Her family in Delhi imagined their daughter was secure in what many thought was India's safest city for women.
Until Pallavi's own building guard stalked, molested and murdered her.
The facts couldn't be more damning for Sajjad Mughal who has admitted to being driven by such lustful violence that he deliberately disconnected the power supply to Pallavi's flat, waited till she was alone, entered her house, attacked her and brutally slit her throat when she resisted.
In my view, Sajjad deserves nothing less than death.
But many tender, sophisticated minds will ponder over the question of whether killing one rapist will deter others?
Will hanging Sajjad, they will muse, stop other rapists in their tracks?
Their philosophical 'will-it, won't-it' trip isn't just flawed — it's dangerous.
Why should one woman's rape be made a bargain deal for all of society? Doesn't one woman — one human being — have an inalienable right to justice, to being treated with the respect an individual deserves?
Or is every woman a perennial carrier of society's baggage, its mores and morals, its dos and don'ts, bearing the responsibility of showing the world the right way, through her life — even through her death?
Isn't justice for one woman reason enough to propel law?
Isn't justice about serving a victim — and good policing and social education to prevent other, further crimes?
Let's not confuse justice with making society a better place. Because, if we do that, we will get neither.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Hollywood director says she's working with actor John Cusack on a movie about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Director Betty Thomas said Cusack's production company has a script ready that will star the actor as Limbaugh. It's not typecasting: Cusack is an outspoken liberal.
Production is set for next year, Thomas said. The working title is "Rush," Cusack's New Crime Productions confirmed Friday.
Cusack's credits range from the teen flick "Sixteen Candles" to offbeat films like "Being John Malkovich."
Thomas is a former actress ("Hill Street Blues") and an Emmy-award winning director ("Dream On").

If you're a musician who wants to film your practice sessions or a fan in the crowd recording your favorite band, here's a common problem that can often occur: the video you shoot will end up looking OK, but the audio sounds weak and thin. For a medium in which audio is the key component and portability is important, there are relatively few options.
The Zoom Q3HD fulfills this role as its an incredibly easy to use, pocket sized shoot-and-share camera with HD video and professional quality audio recording.

Sanford: Overwhelmed by support in new race
By BRUCE SMITHAssociated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he's humbled and overwhelmed by the support he's been getting as tries to mount a political comeback.
It's been about a month since Sanford announced he would seek South Carolina's vacant 1st Congressional District seat that he once held for three terms.
He told reporters during a conference call Tuesday he's appreciative of the reception he's received since he has been campaigning in the district on the state's southern coast.
The call was also to announce that state Sen. Tom Davis of Beaufort was endorsing his old boss. Davis was chief of staff when Sanford was governor.
Sanford's political career was derailed when he revealed four years ago he was having an affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Interior French Doors
DEAR TIM: I've decided to install some interior french doors. Since I'm a rookie carpenter, I'm intrigued by some prehung interior french doors I saw at a lumber yard. What's your opinion of these doors? What else can you share that will help me install interior french doors like you might do it? Surely there are some secret tips that make the job go faster and easier. Michael G., Burbank, CA
DEAR MICHAEL: Installing interior french doors, assuming you're a real rookie carpenter, is going to sap you of every bit of skill and patience you have at this point in your DIY career. It's hard enough hanging a single prehung door, much less a set of french doors. I've installed many prehung french doors with great success.
The reason double interior french doors are so hard is that you have additional tolerances you must satisfy to make the install look professional. The reveal around all the doors and in between the two doors needs to be consistent and as equal as possible. This is much harder to achieve than you might think.
The first step is to inspect the doors at the store. If you can see the hinge side of the doors, look to see if the reveal or gap between the doors and the jambs is pretty close all the way around the door. You want a gap of just about one eighth inch everywhere. If the jamb is bowed or the gap is wildly different, look at other doors that may be in stock. You want everything in your favor before you take the door home.
The first thing to get right as you begin to tackle your double interior french doors is the rough opening. This is the hole in the wall where the door fits. I prefer to have my rough openings at least one-half inch wider than the overall unit size of the door. The unit size is the overall height and width of the frame that the doors hang from. The same is true for the height. I like having the rough opening one-half inch higher than the the door frame's overall height.
Remember, this height distance is measured from the top of the finished floor. It's always better to have the door jambs sit on top of a finished floor instead of installing the door and then trying to butt up flooring to the door jamb.
Since the actual doors in your new french doors are undoubtedly perfectly square, this means that if the reveal or spacing in between the doors and the frame are equal, then the overall door frame is square. It's imperative that the two door jambs are installed plumb, parallel and in the same plane. If you can make the rough opening so the vertical rough studs are plumb it will really help you.
Not only does the rough opening need to be square and plumb, it's also very important that the opening is not a helix. This means that the opening has to be straight and plumb in both directions. If one leg of the rough opening is not plumb then the two doors, when closed, will not be even at the bottom. Are you still wanting to do this install? It's now just getting interesting.
You'll also have an easy time if the floor under the door unit is level from one side of the opening to the other. If the floor is out of level, you'll have to precisely cut down the door jamb on the high side of the floor the amount it's out of level from jamb to jamb. If you don't do this' you'll have to shim up the one jamb off the finished floor creating an ugly gap. Your margin of error here is less than one-sixteenth of an inch.
Once you get the frame and the door jambs into the opening, tack it in place with 10-penny finish nails. Be sure to use thin shims to ensure the door jamb is plumb. You'll have to open and close the doors numerous times as you nail to constantly check the reveal and spacing between the doors and the door jambs.
After you're satisfied that the door is installed and the spacing is perfect, I recommend installing a hidden screw under the top hinge of each door. I prefer to use a 2.5-inch-long screw that's driven through the door jamb into the rough opening framing lumber. This screw ensures that the doors stay in position for years. There's tremendous tension on the top hinge, and the screw will anchor the doors to the rough framing.
You'll also need a nail set tool to drive the finish nails below the surface of the door jamb. Be very careful as you hammer the nails so the head of the hammer never touches the surface of the wood. You don't want any rookie beauty marks on the door jamb.
Once your french doors are installed to your satisfaction and that of your significant other, you need to be sure they don't warp. It's imperative that you paint the top and the bottom of your wood doors with a minimum of two coats of paint. This paint significantly slows the absorption of water vapor into the long vertical stiles of the doors. If too much water gets into the door, it can warp it.

Despite my novice-ness, I attempted to install a set of french doors this past week. Following your advice, I was able to install them such that they were level, plumb, and square. Only problem is I've now discovered that my adjoining wall is not!
The doors look and work perfectly! Thanks for the help, Tim!

Thank you for this Tim. I am still contemplating how I or an installer will put in my French Doors. I like to know how it is done whether I end up doing it or not.
Great info.
I are looking to install some french doors in my 52" office opening. I have been unable to find any pre-hung french doors in anything less than 48". Ideally I would like to have smaller doors, say 36".
Any ideas?

OVER the past year, Andrew Fifita and Jorge Taufua have learned much from dark times.
One was so angry he stormed from Cronulla's gym in a fit of rage that stunned trainers.
The other needed a bail variation just to take part in Manly's opening game of 2013.
But in yet another rugby league redemption tale, these childhood mates are now within touching distance of a Blues jersey after being selected to make their City Origin debuts tomorrow.
Fearing an outburst at former Sharks trainer Trent Elkin would cost him dearly last year, Fifita has bounced back to become the NRL's best defensive prop.
The 196cm giant is now averaging 34 tackles a game, missing just two over the first six rounds.
But as he struggled with appendicitis and personal issues, Fifita was in a very different head space 12 months ago and reached breaking point when Elkin ordered him to repeat an exercise in Cronulla's gym.
"It was my attitude that I always thought I was hard done by," Fifita said.
"A lot of anger had built up. There was a lot of drama and stress with family and friends.
"It got to me and I was taking it to training. The final straw came when Elk yelled at me. So many things were rushing through my head, but he was just doing his job.
"I thought I'd get dropped (for storming out), but I didn't because Elk and (head coach) Shane Flanagan understood what I was going through.
"They just told me not to bring it to training and I think I'm over that stage."
The birth of his first child, Latu Jay, four months ago has helped Fifita settle.
But it was a previous hospital visit - to have his appendix removed last June - that delivered a more significant realisation.
"I watched some games in hospital and looked at what Paul Gallen did," Fifita said.
"He was always telling me, 'Look at the size of you, start using it'.
"Gal is straight up and down and just charges forward.
"Watching him, I started to realise how good I can be.
"So this year I've kept my running straight rather than going across field and relying on my fend."
Yesterday's junior clinic in Coffs Harbour gave Fifita the chance to indulge in less direct running, splitting his duties with fellow Western Sydney product Taufua.
Fresh from a stunning rookie season, the 21-year-old Manly flyer was arrested last November for allegedly spitting at a police officer on the Gold Coast.
The charge resulted in Taufua being banned from entering licensed premises in Queensland, forcing him to apply for a bail variation to enter Suncorp Stadium for Manly's round-one clash against Brisbane.
Still to enter a plea, Taufua is not expected to stand trial until later this season.
But alcohol counselling has helped him move forward and concentrate on football.
"I've had a lot of help from the club, my family and the senior players," he said. "It was good when footy started. That kept my mind off things."
Taufua has dedicated his career to his mother, Sandy, who suffered a stroke in 2007 and didn't begin attending his games again until this year.
"She was thinking of coming up here to watch me play tomorrow with some family," he said. "Hopefully she can make it.

The purpose of the meeting is to:
• Provide an overview of the project
• Discuss the possible locations of the Equalization Basin
• Obtain public input on the project and the possible locations
Public participation is important and will help the project team identify the community values that will be considered as the Equalization Basin Project progresses.
An open house will be held between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. where project exhibits of potential locations can be viewed. The project team will also be available to discuss the project and answer questions. A formal session with questions and answers will then be held between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Questions and comments about this project should be sent to Maria Aguilar, 170 Santa Maria Avenue, Pacifica, CA 94044, or email email@example.com.

These shoes are great, and not that I'm bias to Vans, but lately, the haven't disappointed me. They fit great, feel good, and even smell good when you get them out of the package. What more could you ask for bro? The only thing I have to say about these is that mine chafe a little but I think it has to do with my specific pair. Other than that they're perfect so far. Only, I haven't been able to skate with them since I just broke my last deck. Sucks, but my fault. Anyway, great shoes!

Great shoes, but...
By Nickname

About Me Stylish
I really enjoyed these shoes, they are very comfortable, breathe well, and can be worn for a long period of time without discomfort. The biggest downside of this shoe is how quickly they come apart. After maybe three months the sole was coming off the canvas, making them look old and ragged. Other than that this is a great shoe!

Lasted three months
By Shoeser
from Brooklyn, NY
Bought mine in January, and by April the rubber edge had cracked and separated from the canvas. Though customer service was friendly and prompt, their advice was to try taking the shoes to a Vans store, but there aren't any near me. So, I got about three months out of these shoes before they went kaput.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Arsenal 0-0 Manchester United – Premier League – 12th February 2014
This had the air of a game in which both managers wanted to consolidate after suffering poor results at the weekend and thus there was little excitement throughout. Robin Van Persie failed to convert an early chance after an error from Mikel Arteta while late on the Dutchman saw his point-blank header superb saved by Wojciech Szczęsny. In between those two chances for the visitors, the Gunners had the lion's share of possession but the few chances they did create weren't out away by a misfiring Olivier Giroud. Laurent Koscielny also saw a header cleared off the line but overall neither side did anything to write home about. Arsenal go a point behind leaders Chelsea while the Red Devils are now eight points off fifth spot.

TEL AVIV (Jul. 11)
The dispute over a closed street in the Orthodox township of Bnei Brak is taking on political overtones that have reached the highest echelons of government. Premier Menachem Begin, who is preparing for his trip to Washington next week, took time out to meet on the matter with interior Minister Yosef Burg of the National Religious Party (NRP). Burg, whose ministry now encompasses the Ministry of Police, is urging that steps be taken to restore peace in the community, especially on the Sabbath.
Begin promised that Deputy Minister Yoram Aridor who is in charge of the Transport Ministry, will deal with the dispute as soon as he returns from London. Fighting broke out between religious and non-religious elements in Bnei Brak Friday night after the latter staged a demonstration against the closure of Hashomer Street to traffic on the Sabbath. The street runs through both Orthodox and non-observant neighborhoods.
A week earlier, a 22-year-old Israeli, Herzl Attaya, was killed when his jeep struck a chain stretched across the thoroughfare to block traffic. Since then, non-religious groups have used the fatality to rally opposition against the closure. Attaya's family has appealed to all groups not to use their son's name for political purposes. Never the less, another demonstration is reportedly planned for this Friday evening.
Although Bnei Brak traditionally has been closed to traffic on the Sabbath, Hashomer Street, a main artery, was blocked only recently. Non-religious groups maintain that if it continues to be closed, the status quo on religious matters would be violated.

Gary Daly
Born: 05.05.1962
Age: 55
Kirkby, Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
Sharing an affection for Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, David Bowie, and Brian Eno, Daly and Lundon played with various Knowsley post-punk groups. Daly then spent time tinkering with synthesizers and a drum machine. Along with Lundon, Daly began writing songs. The pair eventually asked drummer and percussionist Dave Reilly to join them, and in 1982 they released their debut single "African and White" as China Crisis on the independent record label, Inevitable. In June 1982 they supported the former Television guitarist, Tom Verlaine, at London's Venue.
The band was signed to Virgin Records and recorded their debut album, Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms: Some People Think It's Fun To Entertain, which was released in December 1982. A re-release of "African & White" became China Crisis' first hit in the UK, reaching #45 in the UK Singles Chart. When the follow-up single, "Christian" made UK #12 in early 1983, this brought them to national prominence. By this time, Reilly had left the band, but was still credited on the record sleeve as a guest on the single, along with new member Steve Levy (oboe/saxophone). The album peaked at #21 in the UK Albums Chart. During this period the band toured supporting Simple Minds (as discussed in interviews on the DVD Live in Concert at the Paul McCartney Auditorium Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts).
Adding Gazza Johnson (bass) and Kevin Wilkinson (drums) to the line-up, a second album, Working With Fire & Steel : Possible Pop Songs - Volume 2 was released in November 1983. This was regarded as a more consistent effort, with tracks including "Tragedy and Mystery" (released as a single six months earlier), "Hanna Hanna" and the title track, "Working With Fire & Steel", which became a hit single in Australia. The album was a Top 20 success in the UK, and China Crisis spent 1984 and 1985 making their biggest chart run, beginning with their only UK Top 10 hit single, "Wishful Thinking", which peaked at #9.
Their third album, Flaunt the Imperfection, was produced by Walter Becker (of Steely Dan fame) and reached #9 in the UK Albums Chart in May 1985. According to the album credits, China Crisis was now officially a quintet consisting of Daly, Lundon, Johnson, Wilkinson, and Becker. However, Becker never appeared with the band, and the subsequent tour featured new keyboardist Brian McNeil. Johnson was now credited as co-writer with Daly and Lundon.
The album was previewed by the #14 UK hit single "Black Man Ray", which also enjoyed international success. The follow-up, "King In A Catholic Style (Wake Up)" was a Top 20 UK single (#19), but it would prove to be the band's last substantial hit. A third release from the album, "You Did Cut Me", stalled at UK #54. They simultaneously released a video compilation, Showbiz Absurd.
In 1986, the band returned with the low key What Price Paradise, including "Arizona Sky" (the album's first single release and another Australian hit), "June Bride", "The Understudy" and "A Day's Work For the Dayo's Done". All the band were now credited as songwriters. A second single from the album, "Best Kept Secret", made UK #36 in early 1987. It was to be the band's final Top 40 hit single.
The five-piece band worked with Becker once more on 1989's Diary Of A Hollow Horse, which earned critical acclaim though little commercial success. It spawned the singles "St Saviour Square" and "Red Letter Day", both reaching the lower reaches of the UK Singles Chart. Becker acted as the producer of most of the album's tracks, but this time was not credited as an official band member.
The band's last studio album, Warped By Success, was released in 1994, following the band's parting of ways with the Virgin label and produced their final UK hit, "Everyday The Same". Although Johnson and Wilkinson both made small contributions, the band was now listed as comprising Daly, Lundon, producer Terry Adams and audio engineer Mark Phythian. In 1995 they released a live unplugged album and video entitled Acoustically Yours, which proved to be their recording swansong. This featured one last single, a live version of "Black Man Ray" and also saw a return for Johnson, Wilkinson and McNeil.
Sometimes misunderstood by critics, China Crisis distinguished themselves from their Liverpudlian contemporaries such as Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, The Teardrop Explodes, and Echo & The Bunnymen by digesting a cornucopia of musical genres, everything from jazz to progressive rock.[citation needed] Despite the stylistic deviations, China Crisis maintained their distinctive sound through a number of albums in the 1980s and 1990s.[citation needed]
Since 1992 there have been four compilation albums of their work for the UK and U.S. markets and three live DVDs.
On 17 July 1999 drummer Kevin Wilkinson committed suicide by hanging himself at the age of 41. Wilkinson had played with a wide variety of bands including The Waterboys, Fish, The Proclaimers, Squeeze and Howard Jones. In 2000 Daly contributed a track to a tribute compilation to Wilkinson, Green Indians.

Troops in Freedom Parade
Troops from the 26th Regiment Royal Artillery – The West Midland Gunners – received the freedom of Birmingham earlier today and were given a rapturous reception as they marched through the city centre.
The regiment, recently back from operational duties in Afghanistan and Iraq, were accompanied by The Band of Parachute Regiment.
Lieutenant Colonel Karl Ford MBE, the regiment's commanding officer, said: "The regiment has just returned from service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where it endured the most testing conditions.
"To be given the Freedom is a great privilege, and reflects public recognition of the invaluable service of our armed forces.
"All of us in the West Midlands Gunners, and particularly those who hail from Birmingham, are extremely proud of this honour, and hugely thankful to both the Lord Mayor and the people of Birmingham."

After waiting 2 years to get my BBL, I finally got my lipo and fat transfer (BBL)done on March 24, 2011. It's funny because as the days got nearer to my surgery date, I was not the least bit nervous. I had a great doctor in NYC, his staff was unbelievably awesome.
I always had a square shape and no rear. When I went for my consultation, Doctor T first spoke with me and explained the entire procedure, including healing process and what to expect as I healed. He was honest and upfront about everything. He was then opened to answer any questions I had. His staff are great!
The day of the surgery my doctor made me feel comfortable, he has a great sense of humor and had me laughing all the way until I was knocked out. I had lipo done on my upper abs, flanks and lower back. I had 750cc's put in each cheek. When I woke up I felt pretty good. I remember someone sticking a cookie in my mouth and having me sip on some diet gingerale. Doctor T's bedside manners were outstanding.
The first two nights was not too bad, I was very sore and bruised, thankfully my bruises went away in 4 days. Amazingly, I did not take any pain meds (Viocodin) I did take Tylenol 3 times, that's it. I didn't get naseous. On day two I did feel light headed, but once I layed down I was fine. I didn't have much of an appetite, but mom and sis (who took care of me) made sure I put something in my stomach. I was fine going to the bathroom as well (doing both 1 & 2).
Today marks my 3rd week post op. I sleep pretty good and wake up feeling sore, but after I am up and walking and shower I feel great! I walk a lot as well. I definately see a huge difference. I now have a waist and shelf. I must say however, I am a little concern with the rear bottom part because although I have a shelf and hips now, the bottom part of my butt seems a bit flat. After reading some reviews and seeing my doctor's assistant, I hear that in time it will drop and form nicely.
Today I am still sore around my abs and waist area and am still swollen but love my new look. I have gotten a lot of compliments from people at work that do not know I had this procedure done.
I would definately recoommend this procedure to those of you who want a butt.
I am waiting till I am fully healed to post some pics up. I am sorry I don't have any b4 pics, only my doctor does.
Thanks for reading!

Smith: More shocking than Duncanville's loss was way it happened
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers, high schools and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are some highlights from Monday's episode featuring Corbett Smith and Kevin Sherrington.
On Duncanville's loss to Manvel this weekend in the Class 5A girls high school basketball state championship, which snapped a 105-game win streak:
Smith: "It was really a shocker loss for a lot of people that don't follow high school girls basketball, but Manvel actually played them really close in the regular season — actually was up on them 16 points at one point in a game that they had played in non-district play that Duncanville had came back to win. So it wasn't a shocker that they lost, but it's the way that they lost that I think will be a bitter taste in their team and coach Cathy Self-Morgan's mouth. It's just a terrible way to lose. They had four of their starters foul out. They had a 12-point lead. They held Manvel scoreless for a quarter-and-a-half, and yet still couldn't get a bigger lead. And then when their starters started fouling out, Manvel took over. Brianna Turner, their star player, she really got hot in the second half — they went on a 16-4 run to close it out — just a bad way to lose for Duncanville. But you look at what they have done: 105 wins, multiple state titles. I think this run of their girls' team compares to some great runs that they've had in the past with different players, different eras, different coaches. But still quality girls basketball played at the highest level. It was really shock to me that they ended up losing, but it's got to happen some time though."

(UPDATE: Jan. 9, 2013) A cut fiber optic cable on the East Coast of the US caused a small number of end-users to lose internet service from their ISP on January 2.
Contrary to early reports, these outages had nothing to do with Amazon Web Services or the inclement weather, according to a reputable source familiar with the situation. AWS's US-EAST-1 Region, located in Northern Virginia, reported no service disruption.
Due to the broken cable, some internet users on the East Coast could not reach any web services. In the early days of 2014, many Individuals on the East Coast faced dangerous roads, power outages, and burst water pipes, making the loss of internet a further inconvenience, but not one that was caused by the weather.

I would like to have both sculptra and ultherapy treatments during the same office visit. My doctor would like to do the ultherapy prior to the sculptra injections. Will ultherapy heat up the skin thus pose an increased risk for bruising? If I opt to do one treatment at a time and do the sculptra first, must I complete the sculptra series before the ultherapy can be done? Thank you for your answers.
Does Having Sculptra After Ultherapy During the Same Visit Increase Risks for Bruising?

Arnica and Bromelain after Ultherapy
Our office would recommend Bruisestick ointment that contains both Arnica and Bromelain.

Ultherapy should not increase bruising from Sculptra
Although no formal studies have concluded that ultherapy would cause more bruising, if it is done the same day as Sculptra, you should do the Sculptra last. We normally recommend to avoid Ultherapy for six months after the last filler.

Sculptra after Ultherapy
My recommendation is to numb your face with local anesthetic then perform Ulthera with some Xanax and finish with a Sculptra treatment. I haven't seen increased bruising with these treatments and strongly recommend both. Best Wishes!!
Sculptra and Ultherapy can be done in the same visit
Sculptra and Ultherapy can be done in the same visit. They work well together since Sculptra they both stimulate collagen. However, Sculptra has a higher chance of causing bruising because of the many needle sticks. Ultherapy alone is less of a downtime procedure.

Ulthera and Sculptra ...Same day...
There should not be any contraindication to having Ulthera then Sculptra done on the same day. This will not cause any increase chance of bruising.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Sculptra & Ulthera
You can have both done on the same day and I don't believe there would be that much more of a risk with both procedures being done the same day in regards to bruising. Having said that, I would recommend doing them on different days. Immediately after treatment with Ulthera there may be some mild facial swelling and some mild redness. This swelling may effect the amount of Sculptra injected in some areas, such as the cheeks. This is probably insignificant though, because you are only injecting 1-2 vials on that visit. Any fine tuning can be performed in subsequent visits, recommended at least a month apart, for Sculptra. Ulthera is a one time treatment, with possible additional treatments a year later if desired.
Most injectors would recommend doing the Ulthera first, but there are some fascinating considerations with actually doing Sculptra first:
1. The melting point of sculptra beads are significantly higher than the thermal point of Ulthera. Therefore there should be no destruction of Sculptra contrary to other fillers, such as Hyaluronic acid fillers.
2. Sculptra induces new collagen deposition. If the Sculptra was injected first, and the secondary collagen allowed to accumulate, then this new collagen hit with the Ulthera ultrasound energy, there may be a synergistic response inducing even more new collagen formation. This should provide better more long-lasting results.
A study needs to be done to determine which is the best way to go. I hope this hasn't confused you, but I really don't think that having Sculptra immediately after an Ulthera treatment will result in any increased risk for bruising.
Sculptra can be done at the same visit as Ulthera
You can have both procedures done at the same visit. I would say there is no additional risk of bruising with the Sculptra injections. Bruising is fairly common after Sculptra, but the VBeam can significantly decrease the time it takes for the bruise to resolve. I have a photo where the bruise was gone in 2 days after the VBeam on RealSelf. This is offered complimentary after any treatment and is painless. The VBeam can't be used on skin types 5 or 6 or if the skin is recently tanned. I would do the Ulthera first, then the Sculptra injections, as your doctor has suggested because the water in the Sculptra could affect the Ulthera treatment.
Ultherapy and Sculptra performed on the same day and risk for scarring.
There is an increased risk for bruising with Sculptra injections after the skin has been manipulated and heated by ultherapy.
You should have ultherapy first and wait at least one week before starting Sculptra injections.
If you decide to start with Sculptra, remember to massage the areas well for at least one week and wait at least 3 weeks before having ultherapy. You can then have your next Sculptra treatment 3 weeks after ultherapy, since Sculptra treatments should be done at least 6 weeks apart.

Login Not Working (Beta)
Hi everyone,
I just installed the beta version of the SFC plugin and love it but unfortunately the login button does not work for me.
If I am logged out of FB before trying it looks as if it is going to login me in using my FB credentials but then only takes me back to the login page and does not proceed anywhere else.
If I am already logged into FB it doesn't do anything.
Am I missing something where I need to setup where the page redirects to when you login?
Also, Is there a widget to add a Connect button in the sidebar?
