Kenworth Truck Company's assembly plant in Renton, Wash., recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.
"The employees at the Renton plant have played a key role in Kenworth's success over the past 20 years," Judy McTigue, Kenworth-Renton plant manager, says. "Quality, pride and technology go into every Kenworth truck that goes down the Renton assembly line, and our trucks are known throughout the industry for their excellent performance, reliability and durability."
Nearly half of the plant's current employees have worked for Kenworth since the plant opened in 1993 and have produced more than 130,000 Kenworth trucks.
The assembly plant holds the ISO 14001:2004 certification for effective environmental management systems established to help build Class 8 trucks in an environmentally sustainable manner, and last summer received a 2012 Best Workplace for Waste Prevention and Recycling Award from the King County (Wash.) Solid Waste Division for its exceptional efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Kenworth-Renton also recently received a 2012 Gold Award presented by the King County (Wash.) Industrial Waste Program.
The award is for compliance with the plant's industrial wastewater discharge permit, and recognizes the plant for one year of no wastewater violations of any kind covering discharge, permit, ordinance, reporting, self-monitoring, and King County monitoring. The plant has now received the Gold Award for 14 consecutive years.

gedit not showing "last modified" times
I'm using gedit for Python scripts in my Udacity.com courses and have found it most disturbing that after a short amount of time -- maybe 24 hours (or less) a script will only have the month/day/year recorded by gedit. This is horribly frustrating. As a fairly new programmer, I save and move on incrementally so that when I totally screw up, I can get back to partial success. But, the way things are, the next day, all scripts are equal as it were.
I've searched the web to no avail and have come here for help.
What drives me nuts is that the times exist in the File Manager. But I can find no way to make that column show up in gedit when I go to open a file.
I'm running Mint 12.
Thanks much for any advice.
Does it have to be gedit? I dont really see that as the best vehicle for programming. I use Bluefish for the web-n-scripting, hovering over the tab of the document, date and time show up...
Just a tip...
Thanks, Thor -- but you know, editors are tools, and we all have our favorites -- I use Bluefish for HTML and CSS. But much prefer gedit for the Python work. And, I have never seen a text editor that didn't give "last modified" times. If I can't find a way around this, I'm going to have find something else, and I hate those kind of searches. gedit is clean and straightforward. Bluefish is too busy and cluttered for my tastes in programming.
New class starts Monday, so I'd better get on with the search. But I still find this unbelievable.
Anyway, thanks again for getting back to me.
Good luck in finding what you need!
Well, I've just finished mucking about with Komodo Edit. Will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it saves "last modified" times beyond the 24 hour window.
It seems like, just because it's Linux, that editors would naturally tap into the file manager for their File Open queries. If they did, this problem wouldn't be a problem-- and editors often let you customize a whole bunch of stuff, but apparently not what you want to see in a directory listing. File Manager will let you pick and chose, but so far no editors I've seen will do that.
One nice thing about Komodo Edit with Python is that it showls a dotted line for indentation.
That's real nice.

Ellie Mae Ellie Mae ( ELLI) is an electronic mortgage origination network in the U.S. whose network and the technology-enabled solutions help streamline and automates the mortgage origination process. This stock closed up 0.54% at $27.90 on Wednesday. Wednesday Volume: 1.50 million Average Volume: 622,976 Volume % Change: 180% From a technical perspective, ELLI bounced higher Wednesday right off some near-term support at $27 with above-average volume. This move briefly pushed shares of ELLI into breakout territory, since the stock challenged some near-term overhead resistance levels at $28.86 to $30.40. Shares of ELLI hit an intraday high of $30.59 and volume was well above its three-month average action of 622,976 shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ELLI as long as it's trending above $27 to $26.26, and then once it sustains a move or close above $30.40 to $30.59 with volume that hits near or above 622,976 shares. If ELLI clears those levels soon, then this stock will set up to enter new 52-week high territory above $30.59. Some possible upside targets off that move are $33 to $35 in the near future. On Assignment On Assignment ( ASGN), a global provider of highly skilled, hard-to-find professionals in the growing life sciences, health care and technology sectors, closed up 8.4% at $22 on Wednesday. Wednesday's Volume: 1.02 million Average Volume: 275,256 Volume % Change: 215% From a technical perspective, ASGN gapped higher Wednesday right above is 50-day moving average of $19.48 with heavy upside volume. This move pushed shares of ASGN into breakout territory and new 52-week-high territory, since the stock took out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $20.24 to $20.93. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ASGN as long as it's trending above Wednesday's low of $21.01 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 275,256 shares as bullish. If ASGN can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to continue on its path into new 52-week high territory above $22.05. Some possible upside targets off any move above $22.05 are $25 to $27 in the near future.

Here is a fun centerpiece display from JP Parker Flowers blog. This is great inspiration that can be used for any color scheme. Just gather several heights, sizes, and styles of glasses and glass vessels, fill with colored beads and/or colored water, and float a larg flower head on top. Submerge small lighted cubes in some of the vessels to give it a glow, and use risers to add more height where needed.

Fall harvest is a good time for producers to assess the weed problems they had in soybean fields this year, to plan a good weed control program for next year. In many cases, it is no longer possible to rely strictly on glyphosate for broadleaf weed control in Roundup Ready soybeans. Before deciding which other herbicides should be used in addition to glyphosate, it is necessary to know what weeds are being targeted. Some good options for the most common broadleaf weed and grass problems include:
* Pigweeds (including waterhemp and Palmer amaranth). Glyphosate-resistant waterhemp appears to have exploded across eastern Kansas during the last two years. Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth has not yet been confirmed in Kansas, but is a major problem in the southeastern U.S. For early-season pigweed control, the Valor-based herbicides (Valor SX, Valor XLT, Fierce, Gangster, Envive, and Enlite) and Authority-based herbicides (Authority XL, Authority First, Sonic, Authority Assist, Authority MTZ, and Spartan) can all provide very good to excellent control to supplement a postemergence glyphosate program. Prefix is another excellent "foundation" herbicide for residual pigweed control in soybeans. Intrro, Dual, Outlook, and Prowl products can also provide some early-season pigweed control, but generally are not as effective as those previously mentioned products. Although some of these herbicides can be applied in the fall or early spring, those treatments generally will not persist long enough to give good pigweed control into the soybean growing season. So, if pigweed is the primary target to control, treatments will be most effective if applied no more than two weeks prior to planting.
* Velvetleaf. Glyphosate is not always entirely effective on velvetleaf. To assist in velvetleaf control, the Valor-based and FirstRate-based herbicides (Valor SX, Valor XLT, Fierce, Gangster, Authority First, and Sonic) are some of the most effective preplant and preemergence herbicides you can use.
* Cocklebur. The most effective preplant and preemergence herbicides to aid in cocklebur control are those that contain First Rate, Classic, or Scepter. Such products would include Authority First, Sonic, Gangster, Envive, and Valor XLT. Extreme, which is a premix of glyphosate and Pursuit, can also be used as a preplant or postemergence treatment in Roundup Ready soybeans to provide residual cocklebur control. However, all of these herbicides are ALS-inhibiting herbicides, and ALS-resistant cocklebur may be present in some fields.
* Marestail. Marestail is probably the most widespread glyphosate-resistant weed in Kansas. Marestail control in fields going to soybeans should begin with fall or early spring herbicide treatments that include 2,4-D, Clarity, or an ALS-inhibiting herbicide such as Canopy EX. Fall treatments should be delayed until November when most of the fall-germinating marestail has emerged. Be aware of the intervals required between application of these herbicides and planting soybeans. A couple of relatively new options for marestail control in soybeans without a preplant waiting interval are the Kixor-containing products, Sharpen and OpTill. Sharpen is Kixor alone, while OpTill is a premix of Kixor and Pursuit. Both products can be used for burndown control of marestail anytime before soybean emergence (cracking). To optimize marestail control with Sharpen and OpTill, spray before marestail gets too big, use an adequate spray volume to insure good spray coverage, and apply in combination with a methylated seed oil. The Kixor rates that can be used in soybeans will not provide very much residual control of marestail. Other residual preplant herbicides that can help with burndown and residual marestail control include FirstRate-based herbicides, such as Authority First, Sonic, or Gangster. Marestail is best controlled before soybean planting and before the marestail begins to bolt. FirstRate would probably be the most effective tank-mix partner with glyphosate for postemergence marestail control in Roundup Ready soybeans. Ignite is one of the better herbicides to control marestail that has started to bolt in the spring. Ignite can be used as a burndown treatment prior to emergence of any soybeans, or as a postemergence treatment in Liberty Link soybeans.
* Morningglory. Glyphosate sometimes has trouble controlling morningglory. To help get better control, you can use either Authority-based or Valor-based herbicides preplant or preemergence. Ignite can also provide good control of soybeans in Liberty Link soybeans.
* Kochia. Kochia is a major weed problem in western areas and has often been difficult to control with glyphosate, especially as it gets bigger. In addition, glyphosate-resistant kochia is becoming a major problem in western Kansas. Since much of the kochia emerges before soybean planting, one of the keys to managing kochia in soybeans is to control it early in the spring before soybean planting. Research by K-State the last couple of years indicates that several preemergence herbicides can help provide control of glyphosate-resistant kochia, especially the Authority-based products listed above. The Kixor-containing products Sharpen and Optill may help with kochia burndown, but the Kixor rates that can be used in soybeans will not provide very much residual control. ALS-inhibiting herbicides may or may not provide kochia control because of the occurrence of ALS-resistant kochia.
* Crabgrass and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. Glyphosate usually gives good control of most grasses, but producers may want to apply a foundation herbicide to control grasses early, then make just one postemergence glyphosate application later. Prefix, Fierce, Intrro, Dual II Magnum, Outlook, and Prowl H2O can all provide good early season grass and pigweed control ahead of Roundup Ready soybeans. Of these, Prefix and Fierce generally provide the best pigweed control, and Prowl H20 the least. Warrant is a new herbicide from Monsanto that can be applied as a postemergence tank-mix partner with glyphosate for residual grass and pigweed control. However, Warrant will not control emerged weeds, so it would not be effective for postemergence control of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp or Palmer amaranth.

text: Ruckus is over six months now.. i dont think he is quite 7. well, he is pushing his limitations.... for example, i say... "NO!" to him for getting into potting soil. and he looks at me... shows his teeth (in a playful manner) and barks and makes all sorts of noises at me! i will say "go in your crate" and he runs the other way barking at me! he loves his crate and this is the only time he has been difficult getting in it. last night.. i told him "get on the bed" and normally he will get on the bed! but last night he ran into another room. and when i call him... he goes the other direction. this has all started a couple of weeks ago. he is also biting me. he has never bitten during play before until now. and when i was brushing him he actually growled at me! i think he is having bad behavior due to age, and not going on walks. I cannot walk him on crutches thats for sure. and in two weeks my bf only took him walking 3 times. i used to take him everyday and he would go to work and play with dogs for 5 hrs a day. i throw toys for him at home to burn off some energy but i know thats not enough. at this age 6-7 months, what is to expect? how do i deal with it? i have just been consistent. for example... like when i was talking about me wanting him on the bed or crate and he would run off... well i would make him get on the bed or in the crate. ps. i know since he isnt going on walks that is a big part of the problem there. i cant do it, the bf just doesnt have time. so please dont give me a hard time about it

This post is part one of a two-part series that examines hybrid hosting, use cases and questions you should ask when considering a hybrid hosting environment. Stay tuned for part two, which will run November 14. For more detailed information on hybrid hosting check out the white paper "Nervous About Cloud? Go Hybrid Instead."
When we talk about hybrid hosting, we talk about the combination of customer-dedicated servers and public cloud infrastructure used in parallel to meet a hosting objective. When used correctly, hybrid hosting can provide the security features, performance and customization of dedicated hardware along and couple it with the cost savings, utility and bursting aspects that cloud technology offers. How best to leverage this technology combination will be dictated by your specific business, industry/regulatory requirements, application capabilities and budget, among other things.
Let's get started with an introduction to hybrid hosting and three use case examples.
What Is Hybrid Hosting?
Various marketing campaigns have helped increase public awareness of the cloud, but marketing speak has also inadvertently generated confusion and misperceptions about what the cloud is, and what it isn't. Let's set the record straight with this glossary:
- Public Cloud Hosting: The hosting of content that resides on a shared/multitenant infrastructure that customers purchase as a service. Customers may have administrative access to complete virtual private servers (also referred to as virtual machines or VMs), or they may control content through a portal and not have actual access to the server operating system. Billing is usually a utility-based, month-to-month commitment with no long-term contractual obligation.
- Dedicated Hosting: Content is hosted on physical servers that are dedicated to the customer. This can range from pure colocation — where customers procure and install the equipment, and support the content — to a fully managed service, where customers lease the equipment and own the content responsibilities, and the service provider installs and supports the network and server hardware. Pricing is usually based on the number of devices and other technologies that are deployed. Contract terms can range from 12 months to 36 months or longer. Customers pay for the hardware that is deployed regardless of how much it is used.
- Private Cloud Hosting: Content hosted on virtualized servers that run on customer-dedicated hypervisors instead of multi-tenant devices. Private cloud is also referred to as "Dedicated Virtualization Hosting" (VMware, Hyper-V, Xen, etc.).
- Hybrid Hosting: The combination of dedicated and/or private cloud hosting with public cloud hosting.
Why Consider A Hybrid Solution?
A common perception about virtualization is that moving from physical to virtual servers can lower your hosting costs. In many cases this is correct. There is also the perception that cloud hosting is still an emerging technology that lacks proper security features and therefore is not ready for mission-critical applications. In some cases, this is also correct. However, when properly planned, a hybrid configuration can help lower your costs without increasing your security risk or decreasing application performance. By working with a provider that offers both cloud and dedicated hosting — and the ability to securely connect the two — you can experience the "cure for the common cloud." After conducting a proper internal analysis, you should be able to identify which of your servers can be virtualized, which need to remain physical and which can be consolidated or eliminated.
Reselling Hybrid Services
Consider the real-world case of an advertising agency taking advantage of a hybrid solution. Before coming to Rackspace, this company supported internal hardware and outsourced parts of its customer-facing infrastructure. It managed multiple contracts with multiple vendors with varying levels of support available, sometimes none at all. As the business grew, the company found teams distracted from focusing on core business objectives. Its clients were requesting project services of varying lengths, so paying for hardware not in use during slow periods was becoming expensive. Because its customers ranged from global brand names to niche players, almost all of them required additional capabilities and security features. Furthermore, sites need be 100 percent available when launching marketing campaigns or new products. A hybrid configuration can enable a customer like this to front online properties with public cloud web servers that can be protected by a dedicated physical firewall and supported by physical database and application clusters. Some projects can run completely on the public cloud while others dictate the need to run on a private cloud.
Large Physical To Virtual Migration/Consolidation
Hybrid configurations are not limited by scale. In the example below, several cabinets worth of servers and storage in a customer data center moved off-site while secure VPN tunneling enables access to internal and external applications. By deploying dedicated hypervisors and the necessary supporting infrastructure (high-speed storage, clustered databases, network security, etc.), much of the internal support burden is removed, internal resources are made available for other uses and operating expenses are lowered (power and cooling, support costs, etc.). Once migrated into our facility, Rackspace provides industry-leading support, network and power SLAs and hardware replacement guarantees, all for a monthly fee with no massive upfront capital expenditure. This example can be expanded to hundreds of servers or more; the benefits are consistent.
Modest Entry Points
Hybrid hosting can help businesses of all sizes, not just those looking for massive consolidation or hardware downsizing. A very basic configuration can move your business into a hybrid cloud. Take, for example, customer-facing public cloud servers connected to a dedicated physical database server. The firewall protects the
cloud servers while facilitating secure network communication between them and the database server. Rackspace provides its RackConnect™ solution for this secure network connection between dedicated and public cloud infrastructure. This combination provides the best of both worlds: public cloud flexibility and utility combined with a more secure dedicated infrastructure and server hardware.
In Conclusion
These three examples barely scratch the surface of the myriad scenarios out there. The main point is that there are plenty of reasons to move into a hybrid hosting configuration, including the benefits of virtualization with the security and performance of dedicated gear. Cloud is getting most of the hype these days, but many businesses still prefer to work with technologies and vendors they are familiar with. Fortunately, the Rackspace product portfolio can help no matter where in the technology adoption spectrum you fall. From dedicated to cloud; proprietary to open source; and dev, test, staging and product, there are options for you.

TD Bank Mortgage
Escrow/Mortgage Payments
Complaint Rating:
Contact information:
TD Bank
New Jersey
United States
This is my first ever written complaint to any forum of any such, but I am so disgusted by TD Banks lack of competency that I feel obligated to warn others. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH TD BANK!!!
I refi's my mortgage with them because of a great rate less then a year ago and I have regretted the decision from day one! First off it started with an application process and final approval that lasted nearly 3 months..UNREAL! The incompetency alone on the process was mind boggling and I had to stay on top of everything, finding numerous errors in the contract on paperwork, I should have known what I was in for from the get go.
6 months ago I received a deliquency notice from my Township that my taxes had not been paid...they are escrowed and supposed to be paid by TD Bank. My account shows that my escrow money was in fact distributed for payment, but guess what..it paid someone eles's taxes!! Unreal, they fixed it, but it was a headache.
Then last month I get a deliquent notice from TD Bank that my mortgage had not been paid. I have NEVER missed a mortage payment because the money is auto-debited from my TD BANK ACCOOUNT!! Apparently, they had a system problem, messed up by auto-transfer and never told me anything! Fixed, but another headache.
Now yesterday I received another deliquent notice from my tax office, YES AGAIN, my taxes weren't paid, yet the money has been sent somewhere!! This is crazy, I have never been so aggrivated and annoyed at such incompetency. This company does not deserve to be in business if they cant get these simple things correct. If it wasn't going to cost me money and valuable time to change companies I would do so in a heartbeat, but since it will and Im not willing to spend more money, the next best thing is to warn the person next in line!! Do yourself a favor and stay away from TD Bank and their incompetence.

bersa mini firestorm
So I placed a bid on a bersa mini firestorm in 9mm. Anybody have any reviews on these? Would it be a good EDC?
You're only ever going to get bias opinion from me here because I love love love Bersa guns, but have only handled them, never owned. But talk about a solid built gun! True value and quality. I've yet to hear a single bad thing about a one, or if I did I dismissed it as blasphemy! I think that's a great choice for a gun, although as an EDC it's a bit thick, I'm pretty sure it be a double stacker. Good in burgers, not necessarily in carry guns.
You might get more answers here: http://www.bersachat.com/forums/forum.php
I don't mind double stack since the height is nearly identical to my current edc
The width is only another 1/2 inch. That sounds small and I'm sure it'll feel weird at first but as long as the grip doesn't print any worse than my current edc I'm happy. Anybody know what MSRP is on these? I can't find it even on the versa website
My Firestar m43 9mm single stack is 1.1"wide at grips. It fits perfectly, get a full wrap around with plenty of trigger finger stretch to comfortably use it.
My Firestar m45 45acp single stack is 1.2"wide at grips. It fits, I can shoot it, but that .1" makes a huge difference! It takes that little bit of length from my trigger reach and adds it to my grip circumference instead. It also makes the grip I like harder to maintain because I don't get the interlocking quite as firm.
So a half inch is HUGE! I suggest, if you haven't already, go to LGS and handle one, if you can. I think you'll find as I did that double stack is not the way to go.
When I first started I didn't notice a difference between my LC9 and my Glock which is double stack. But that's because I was basically just going out John Wayning. One handed mag dumping, no real target just into a hillside to make nose and be manly. Once I started getting into accuracy, grip was a big part of it and that's when I began to notice differences and really understand what type of gun works best for me.
I'm not saying that is or ever was you, just sharing my story and experience with ya, for whatever it's worth.
I hope this gun works for ya in that regard man, cuz I'm sure it will in every other way!

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Sharon, MA, United States, 2007/06/13 - VJ Inspection Systems, today officially marked its entry into the European Union market with the introduction of the VJT W4000 X-Ray Wheel Inspection System at the GIFA 2007 11th International Foundry Trade Fair.
VJ Inspection Systems, an industry leader in X-ray inspection products and technology headquartered in Bohemia, New York, USA, today officially marked its entry into the European Union market with the introduction of the VJT W4000 X-Ray Wheel Inspection System at the GIFA 2007 11th International Foundry Trade Fair.
The VJT W4000 dramatically improves aluminum automotive wheel quality control management. It is the only X-ray inspection system that delivers complete high-resolution coverage of the entire wheel in a single image.
Imagine the quality assurance advantage of viewing the entire wheel in high resolution rather than peering at dozens of close-up snapshots on a computer screen, said Pete Corio VJ Inspection Systems product manager.
Only the VJT W4000 provides operators with a single uninterrupted wheel discontinuity picture, with multiple viewing angles, to more quickly and accurately ensure quality control and optimize manufacturing process adjustments. For the first time, European wheel manufacturers can benefit from a system that offer substantial increases in accuracy and productivity, said Jason Wang, President of Rosta Steel and Alloy Wheels.
The incorporation of next-generation linear diode array (LDA) imaging technology, Automatic Defect Enhancement (ADE) for manual inspection and Defect Recognition Software (DRS) for fully or semi-automated inspection all combine to significantly improve inspection quality while reducing operator fatigue.
Database storage of inspection records allows analysis and process improvement. Real-time feedback of inspection results and ADE images to production stations enables online process control.
Moreover, the wheel inspection system delivers superior system reliability through simplicity by requiring just a single rotation for complete image coverage.
Additional features of the new VJT W4000 system include:
Industry standard cycle rate (of one 17-inch wheel every 30 seconds)
Multiple views from a single scan
High-resolution imaging system
250kV source available with PC-controlled cooler
Image and archival system
Minimal moving parts for nominal maintenance
Scans wheels from 13 inches to 24 inches in diameter
Programmable system controller
US 21CFR1020.40, UVV, DIN54113, VDE-0-100, CE, EUATOM 96/29 and IEC 529 Compliant.
The VJT W4000 is currently in use at Rosta International Limiteds new US$100 million Suzhou Yuan Chen Alloy Wheel Manufacturing Plant in Suzhou, China. The plant has a capacity of five million wheels.
The VJT W4000 is immediately available worldwide from VJ Inspection Systems. For more information, visit with VJ Inspection Systems during GIFA 2007 in hall 15 / D14. Visit the website or call 1-631-589-8800.

Hi, I realise im young to be thinking about surgery, but I've never liked the way I looked, especially because I come from a family of very attractive people. I thought maybe cheek implants might help, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions of how I could make myself look better, that I could bear in mind for the future when I may have the money and maturity to try and take action to improve my appearance. Thanks Hannah
Would Cheek Implants Improve my Appearance? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Would Cheek Implants Improve my Appearance?
Yes, from the photos your cheeks are relatively flat. Cheek Implants can augmenta and shape the cheeks to a more aesthetically correct shape. This has the ability to make the entire face more feminine. You may also want to consider filling out the upper and lower lips that would soften the lower face, IMO.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Cheek Implants vs Fillers
The picture does show that you have less than ideal cheek projection which can be improved with temporary fillers such as Radiesse or a permanent solution with cheek implants. You need to be examined by a surgeon who specializes in facial cosmetic surgery to review your alternatives and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. It is difficult to evaluate your other faciaal features with one photo. Educate yourself before making any decisions.
I would suggest you use fillers instead
I would suggest that you start with dermal filler first - most likely Restylane. I wouldn't jump to something like cheek implants before first seeing how you like your face fuller, and where you like it. Then, if you decide to do cheek implants at a later date, your physician will be able to determine how to best do the procedure for your desired results.

Advantages of fillers vs cheek implants in a young person
Longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse have many advantages over implants, especially in a younger person such as yourself. One obvious advantage is that surgery is not required. Another is that you can get either a rapid or a gradual correction depending upon how many syringes you have injected and you can decide as you go exactly how much correction looks good. If you don't like the way it looks, it will go away in time and not require more surgery. Also, as your face ages it changes over the years. Touch up treatments are constantly being modified to fit the changing face.

Avoid cheek implants for cheek augmentation, there are better options!
I would definitely recommend avoiding cheek implants as there are many possible long term complications. If you want to change the shape of your face and have more projecting cheeks, I would suggest starting with a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm and transitioning to autologous fat if you like the results.
All the best,

Can Breast Implants Feel Like Air Bubbles Are in It?
Doctor Answers 5
Air in the implants
air in the implants can occur but usually is minimal, and as stated it should resorb over time......hang in there you should be fine.......
Sound and bubbles after augmentation
very early after surgery there may be excess air especially with saline. there also may be some fluid around the impant.. i would allow several weeks for this to settle down.

Fluid after surgery
It is quite common to feel sloshing during the early post-op period. Often there is fluid in the pocket at the end of surgery and the fluid needs to be absorbed.
Breast Implants and Bubbles?
Thank you for the question. Depending on how far out of surgery you are is not uncommon to experience " bubbles"; sometimes patients report hearing "squeaking" as well. If these sensations do not resolve and/or you have real concerns follow up with your plastic surgeon for evaluation.
Best wishes.

Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Implants
Change in gumline while wearing dentures
I have had dentures and bridges some 40 yrs. A while back I had new uppers and lowers put in with implants. This was satisfactory until 2 yrs ago, and this new dentist created new upper and lowers. He has been adjusting and fixing these appliances since then - there has been much trouble. They now seem comfortable. I have noticed that my upper left gumline has changed - instead of a straight gumline it curves up quite a bit. I asked my doctor if it was result of improper fit of dentures and he said it was just normal bone loss. I dont quite believe him. I am also on fosomax and wonder if it is the problem. I have no dental insurance so this has been quite expensive. What is your opinion? Also, should I get a second opinion on the work that has been done in my mouth and how would I go about it? Thanks
Your gumline changes throughout your life, so some changes are normal. If you believe what you are seeing is not normal, I suggest calling a prosthodontist's office (denture, crown, implant specialist) to get a second opinion. I would also bring any x-rays your dentists may have along to save some of the consultation fees. Taking Fosamax orally (pill form) has not been shown the dramatically affect the appearance of the gumline.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Digital RealtyDividend Yield: 5.00% Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.00%. Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT), through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P., engages in the ownership, acquisition, development, redevelopment, and management of technology-related real estate. The company has a P/E ratio of 42.87. The average volume for Digital Realty has been 1,439,700 shares per day over the past 30 days. Digital Realty has a market cap of $8.0 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are down 7.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Digital Realty as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 12.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 26.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry average. The net income increased by 5.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $48.04 million to $50.71 million.
- DIGITAL REALTY TRUST INC's earnings per share declined by 5.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DIGITAL REALTY TRUST INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.47 versus $1.31 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 3.4% in earnings ($1.42 versus $1.47).
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, DLR has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 12.00% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of the overall market trend could certainly make a critical difference, we do not see any strong reason stemming from the company's fundamentals that would cause a continuation of last year's decline. In fact, the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings.

"Parallel Life" is a film with an interesting concept, that certain people can find themselves repeating the lives of others from years gone by, following the same series of events towards the same fate. Inevitably, director Kwon Ho Young and writer Han Jeung Ae use this idea to propel their protagonist, played by actor Ji Jin Hee (recently in the violent "Soo") into an increasingly desperate situation, and as such the film is an interesting attempt to mix thrills and philosophy.
Ji Jin Hee plays Suk Hyun, a young judge rising fast up the ladder, who is known for making tough and uncompromising decisions. His carefully ordered life is thrown into chaos after his wife is brutally murdered, apparently by a former criminal called Su Yung (Ha Jung Woo, "The Chaser") with a grudge against him for a past ruling. It soon becomes apparent that the case is far from closed, as a reporter contacts Suk Hyun, informing him that his life appears to be following the exact same path of another judge some 30 years back – a prediction which means that Su Young will shortly escape from jail to murder him and his daughter. With the help of prosecutor Gang Sung (Lee Jong Hyuk, also in the superb "Crush and Blush"), he desperately tries to stop this from happening whilst uncovering the dark truth behind the death of his unfortunate predecessor.
"Parallel Life" gets off to an engaging start, disorientating the viewer and dropping plenty of ominous hints as to the coming storm. It quickly becomes clear that writer director team Han and Kwon are aiming for a more thoughtful thriller than average, and they achieve this very well, keeping the film moving along at a good pace, whilst spending a fair amount of time exploring the central premise. The whole parallel life theory itself is quite fascinating, playing upon themes of coincidence and fate, and it helps to build tension and feelings of paranoia as the layers of the plot and its various conspiracies are skilfully unwrapped.
Even if the viewer doesn't buy into this gambit, it still gives the film an involving structure and a definite momentum as it rushes towards its climax, with plenty of revelations and twists. Some of these don't quite work, and the film does try to pack in a few too many obviously Hitchcockian character reversals and red herrings into the last third, though it remains entertaining and gripping even when straining belief somewhat. Ji Jin Hee does a solid job in the lead role, with his initially unlikeable judge becoming gradually more sympathetic as the film goes on, not least due to the never ending series of trials and torments which befall him.
Kwon's direction is tight, and the film's action scenes help to add some well handled excitement that nicely offset its more ponderous moments, mostly in the form of chase scenes, with a few sudden shots of violence. As the film picks up speed during its latter stages, the camera work gets more kinetic, with some fast editing that thankfully never overdoes things with needless flashiness. The film does get pretty dark once all cards are on the table, and although the ending itself is fairly predictable, it still manages to end on a satisfyingly grim and ambiguous note, enough so to keep the viewer thinking after the credits have rolled.
All of this combines to mark "Parallel Life" as a superior suspense thriller, and as a film which proves that it is perfectly possible for genre efforts to be both exciting and thought provoking. Kwon Ho Young and writer Han Jeung Ae prove to be a potent team, turning what in other hands could have been a fairly silly high concept actioner into something far more rewarding.

Is Bud Chiles running for governor... as an NPA?
We're hearing that Bud Chiles, son of the late Gov. Lawton Chiles, is considering jumping into the governor's race ... as an independent candidate. We asked Chiles, who would not comment. But he does plan to make his intentions about the race known tomorrow morning in Tallahassee: "To say I'm at the decision point is an accurate statement." So we'll see soon.
If Chiles were to run as an indy and succeed it would definitely cement 2010 as the Year of the Outsider. Though such a move would give him more time to raise money and court votes by skipping a primary against presumptive Democratic nominee Alex Sink, he might find himself a man without a significant base of support.
Gov. Charlie Crist is a viable candidate in the U.S. Senate race largely because he's the sitting governor and can command gobs of press almost any time he wants. Chiles is no slouch -- the son of a popular former governor -- but it's questionable whether he can get the same kind of mileage out of his last name.

The Last Prisoner

Chapter 1 (v.1) - The Last Prisoner
"If the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him."
--Jean-Paul Sartre
"This man knows something
about healing. That the heart
must be torn open again
in front of compassionate witnesses.
That the accused must also step up
and reveal themself.
That no matter how high-pitched
the shrieks, how barren
the voice, everything must be
heard, everything must be
held, in the same room."
--Ronna Bloom, "Truth and Reconciliation," from PERSONAL EFFECTS, Pedlar Press, 2000.
A small train, an ancient rattling steaming thing, it barely held to a looping mountain track. The mountain dwarfed the toyish train till it became in Rodolfo's eyes a pink caterpillar inching over an elephant's hide. Rodolfo squinted, followed the movement, and felt throughout himself a sweating terror that the creature would peel away from the mountain and curl into space, a caterpillar shrugged free by a leviathan. Then the scene was Ximena. The prisoner, Ajacopi, lay naked on the floor, his body a brown stain on gray cement. He lay stinking in his sweat and Rodolfo sat atop him making the little man bear his weight, Rodolfo's butt over Ajacopi's mouth stealing his breath, Rodolfo's hands pinching the Indian's manhood, all the while the heat of the day thief to his own breath.
Rodolfo woke rubbing his mouth across the orange sofa's back cushion hearing the rattle and bang of the front door flapping three meters from where he lay. "Oh, the wind," he thought--his mind itself the weakest puff of air--and wiped the bloom of sweat from his forehead. The day was too hot for any comfort. The heat must have confined him in his sleep and bullied him into that dream. His head pounded and his mouth was sour from a paste of growing things that lay across his tongue. He sat and untucked his shirt which was badly twisted and soaked with perspiration and tore it off, angrily freeing himself as if from a winding sheet.
The dream had him working his last full day at Ximena Prison. In reality, a year had passed since that final week and a year plus three days had passed since the date that lived in his memory as the one the President died, murdered by thugs, changing everything. He heard Berta's footfall across the ceiling and cawed at her, "Where is my paper?" because he wanted to look at the reports on the dog fights and the cocks. His father had checked the fights every day at the same hour until the day he passed. His father was a man of great habits, Mateo his name. Mateo Hector was a man of military mind and he was Rodolfo's guide, his Southern Cross.
"Don't holler at me," the woman yelled back from above, hollering herself.
Her voice was sharp as if she were giving orders. That burned his ass, since up until one year before, giving orders was his job, and decent money came his way for it, as well as the honor of keeping his country as God intended. The Indians liked to ask his people, How do you know what God intended? But he and his kind did know, they knew down to the marrow of their bones and the Indians angered him with their insolent questions. When he went to church--going at times alone because his wife and son were shallow-minded and so they were restless sitting long hours in the pews--he prayed to be reminded and instructed about His order and not influenced or led astray by the arrogant ideas the Indians broadcast.
Still she was yammering. "We are lucky still to have a newspaper," she shouted down. Since the revolution, with everything turned on its head, every other sentence from her mouth was how they were lucky still to have this thing or that, whether a stove to burn wood or a three-legged stool or a simple newspaper. He did not feel lucky, especially when he saw the Indians greedy as infants as they snatched up everything, which was just what he'd predicted would come to pass if they got the control they wanted. They were the termites that gnaw apart a great tree, each one easy to swat or stomp, their strength in an army's numbers.
For him, that was a despicable image. He hated bugs and lived in a land overrun with them. He'd heard places exist where a man can recline on a bed of grass and nothing traipses over him but an ant or a spider no bigger than a thumbnail. But here, he needed to patrol the house nightly and flatten whatever insects he found. Now that his son, Daniel, was ten, he had him join in the campaign. The boy was squeamish still about crushing what he found, so Rodolfo took that job, laughing at the boy's frailty. Once they found a tarantula big as the boy's hand.
Berta tromped down the stairs and tossed the paper onto the floor beside the sofa, so he had to sit up and bend down to retrieve it.
"Thank you," he said. Only in his private thoughts did he say "female dog."
The headline was printed boldly today and read GOVERNMENT OFFERS AMNESTY. The large letters shouted, but he did not grasp their importance. Sleep and anger fogged his brain with a sense of confusion about what "government" this was. And what amnesty? Who was to be exonerated? For what offense? His eye went to the column, to the article there. The new "government of the people"--that was what they called themselves, the sons of bitches--was offering to review petitions for amnesty from all those officials of the criminal government involved in "crimes against the indigenous people." "All failing to come forward by October 10, sundown, will be subject to prosecution to the full extent and power of the law and to penalties up to and including a sentence of death by hanging. Amnesty is offered for the sole purpose of determining and publishing a truthful record of events, which is essential to the healing and reconciliation of the nation."
A dense cloud can stop and stand atop a mountain peak. It holds its position and gives passage neither to air nor light. His mind settled upon these lines like such a mass. He knew there was good reason he should attend to the words but he did not. Nothing moved within him until he turned to checking the competitions and saw that his dog and his fighting bird both were losers in yesterday's events. His favorite bird was a muscular brown-speckled cock, Razorclaws. How many times had he won with that bird? Piss on it, PISS ON IT. His mind exploded and he threw the paper onto the round, peg-legged dining table and paced the room, then retrieved the pages and read again the words detailing the amnesty requirements.
Mary, mother of Christ. He should not have to think about this. He should be a hero to his country and a guardian of its future, but instead he was one of those they dubbed criminal. He could not believe the struggle had turned so far against him that they expected him with his own lips to betray his people by coming forward at the initiation of Indians, to an Indian tribunal. Who were they to hold a goddamned tribunal? They act as if they are Roman generals, great men of history, but they are the ones who kidnapped the young President and his wife--took them from their house, gagged and blindfolded, put them into the trunks of cars, then drove them up onto the altiplano and slit their throats, letting them bleed to death.
Only three days passed from that grizzly event to the fall of the government. His blood boiled sunrise to sunset through those three days. He was not himself at that time. It was the wrong time for Estefan, his Captain, to pressure him.
Estefan had called him into his office; it was a large room at the north end of the barrack, beyond the string of six tiny cells that the prisoners occupied. A second larger room at the opposite end of the barrack served for interrogations. Rodolfo looked at the Captain's small square window wishing the interrogation rooms where he spent his hours were open to the fields and sky like this, but only this room and the one at the other end of the structure had the luxury of a window where a man could look out onto some color, maybe lift his head and see a hawk sitting on the wind. Two bottles of North American whisky on the cabinet sparked his envy, but he consoled himself with the thought that another year at the job and he, too, might afford such indulgences.
"Look here," Estefan said and pointed to a vase on his government-issue metal desk. "Look at these dahlias, from my own garden, Hector. Perfection, aren't they? Look at the scarlet color and the rolled silk of each petal. Look. Come, look." He made Rodolfo lean closer so that Estefan could convince himself his detective was absorbing the full beauty of the scentless flowers. "That's what you can do with a little horse shit and highlands sunlight. And a gardener's heart of course." He prodded his chest with his thumb in self-acclaim.
"Magnificent," Rodolfo said.
"Look at that color," Estefan murmured, then shook his head. "Words can't describe it--the hue of the blood of kings." Then Estefan winced and Rodolfo assumed the Captain had heard his own words and thought of the blood of their President, shed three days before in that murderous attack.
Estefan lifted a hammered silver frame from his top desk drawer. "This is my wife," he said of the plump woman with orbs of rouge decorating her dark cheeks and a bush of black hair springing from her scalp like an obscenity. "Have I shown you before? My Sarita. She is a flower, too, the most beautiful of women, and a woman of culture as well."
A hundred times Rodolfo had seen that photo pulled from the drawer. He kept his mouth shut.
"I have a family a man can be proud of, Hector. I'm a man others envy--there's no reason to deny it. My beautiful wife, my home and gardens, my son who is a first rank soccer player. I am a luckier man than most, smiled upon by fortune."
"Yes," Rodolfo said, impatient to leave. "Who wouldn't envy you...your fine wife, the garden so beautiful, dahlias such as these--like silk?"
"All right. Enough," Estefan said, turning all business and leaving Rodolfo to wonder had he overstated his praise, giving it the ring of falsity, but no, these abrupt turns had always characterized the Captain's mental locomotion.
"What is your report today? What have you gotten from the sons of bitches this bloody week that you didn't have last week?"
Rodolfo rattled his throat. "Not as much as I had hoped for."
"We never get as much as we hope for," Estefan said, still buoyant. "We'd like to open them like zippered pouches wouldn't we and dump their guts onto the floor. That way we could sort through the innards like a man inspects for gold in his pan." He guffawed so hard he drooled and Rodolfo pretended not to see. Rodolfo thought of the time a prisoner spat at him--hitting him right in the eye--and he flushed at the recollection. That man had paid; that man had been a fool.
The Captain said, "You have something for me don't you, from at least one of them? You have something for your Captain, I presume, one shiny nugget, one gem at least?"
"I have a few things of value, Sir." Rodolfo injected confidence into his voice. "Cell D told us the north villagers have been using their young girls to set the pit traps the soldiers fall into, which causes them to twist or break their ankles--twice the Indians caught a man still in the traps and stoned him to death. The men dig the pits on and off during the work day and the girls cover them with vegetation when they go into the jungle evenings to collect firewood. We had to push him hard, but he also told us they use an old trick of sending information from town to town by way of strings knotted to tell a story. With the knotting, even the illiterates can get the message so the technique is crucial, it's important, I'm sure you can see that. Certain patterns of knots have known meanings--often marking locations--and come up again and again."
"They've been doing that since Inca times, Hector. There's nothing remotely new in that or crucially important, as you like to say. What else do you have? What about the spying they've done on our post? Which village is doing that?"
He was tempted to lie and pretend to know, saying Santa Margarita or Santa Rosita, but how long would the lie stand up? He had no way of knowing in that moment how shortlived his entire operation would be. He shook his head and kept his eyes subverted.
"Nothing? Shit. Nothing? I told you to pursue that."
"Nothing yet, Sir. D names one town today and a different one yesterday and tomorrow, so we have difficulty knowing what is true and what is garbage."
"Jesus Christ, Hector, you're supposed to know how to tell the difference. That's part of a technique you should know in your sleep. You're just a bullshitter, aren't you? You don't have anything to say. You bring me the same crap every damn report. And that crew you've put together, with that odd bird, Rubén. What is he? A Jew? Or a homosexual I've heard some say."
"No, the knots..."
"The knots are nothing, they're bullshit, I told you. I need something new, something substantial I can put into my week's end report to justify this damn operation. The army spends money to keep this place going, Hector. Do you want to lose your job when they say we're not worth the upkeep because we do squat here? Do you think they're interested in giving charity, in keeping your kids in shoes out of human kindness?"
"No one there is in a lenient mood since our President's death. If you can't get the information, maybe we need someone else, someone with the balls for his occupation."
"I can do it, Sir," he said, torn between hurt and crackling anger.
"How much patience do you want from me? I've forgiven you enough for your endless mistakes and accidents."
"I'll take care of things, Sir."
"Then go at it again with that Ajacopi," he said, rising from his seat. "Breaking him would be worthwhile--there's information in that small head, I know it. Diamonds of information."
The flip reference to his mistakes, his accidents, stung Rodolfo. He knew what was meant. The Captain was reminding him of the time he'd roped a huge half-breed around the neck, just about hanging him but not to the point of breaking the neck because the man's toes reached the ground and held him up a little. Rodolfo had decided to let him sweat in that position a while so he'd gone out of the cell and told the pale woman, Lindy...Lindea..whatever the name, to leave the room, too--he wanted her in the hall so she wouldn't be looking at the fatboy with pity eyes. She went into the hallway and Rodolfo went outside to have a smoke where a few of the day laborers were wolfing down their lunches. They offered him some chips and a beer and he sat with them all laughing it up like school kids. He forgot about the big halfbreed inside, forgot altogether, intoxicated by the sun and the beer.
An hour or so passed and the others picked themselves up to get back to their work and suddenly, Oh Jesus! it came to him how he'd left the guy. In a blink, he was back to the cell, the woman sitting idly outside the door, and when he walked into the cell he knew it was no good. The guy wasn't dead exactly but might as well have been. He was unconscious and his color was black as an olive. The woman slipped in behind Rodolfo and he shouted at her, "You imbecile, why the hell didn't you call me--all this time goes by and you know he's hanging there--why the hell didn't you call me?" She looked at him oddly but kept her silence. He saw contempt in her eyes and turned from her and called Rafi in for help cutting the huge man down and lowering him to the rock hard floor. They watched over him, Rodolfo pacing for an hour, the door locked against passers-by, but it was no good, there was no return of consciousness and Rodolfo had no alternative but to report the incident as calmly as possible and let the man be trucked out to the infirmary an hour's ride from there. The fatboy didn't die but he didn't regain much function either and there was no question of them making further use of him.
Estefan blew into a rage at Rodolfo for his carelessness, his idiot mistakes, and for putting together such an inadequate squad with a feeble old man and a queer Jew, with only one of the four, the youngest, a half-decent specimen of manhood. After that Rodolfo bought a watch and he used it compulsively to track the time whenever he left an interrogation room with a session unfinished. But the whole thing lived on for him in shame and whenever something recalled him to it, shame crept into his skin; he had wasted a good informant due to stupidity. He recalled how his father raged when his mother burnt the tortillas; he wielded that same brand of fury against himself.
When he saw the seepage from Ajacopi's rotten head trickle onto the hard dirt floor, he knew this mistake dwarfed the other.
