Afghan Youth Debates: Young People the "Backbone of Society"
Students in Ghazni province have a decisive role to play in Afghanistan's presidential and provincial elections, an IWPR debate has heard.
Abdul Ahad Marjankhil, the head of a local youth group, said the participation of young people in the April 5 ballot was key to a successful outcome.
"We all know that young people form the backbone of our society," he told more than 90 undergraduates attending the IWPR debate at Ghazni University on December 29. "In the past 12 years, our young people have benefitted from an improved education, and they will play a significant role in the coming elections."
The panellists at the event included Nurullah Hamidi, a civil activist, Abdul Hussain Rahimi, a representative of media networks in the province, and Shafiqullah Shafiq, a lecturer at Ghazni University.
Jamal, a student at the university, asked the audience about the role of the Independent Election Commission (IEC). In response, Marjankhil said that one of the organisation's key responsibilities was to help raise public awareness of the vote.
"First of all, people need to know why they ought to go and vote," Marjankhil said. "Second, they need to understand how to lodge any complaints they may have with the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission. I believe these two points are very important."
Mir Afghan, a participant in the debate, asked the panel what the criteria were for becoming an IEC staff member. Rahimi said the law required employees to be Afghan citizens above the age of 30, hold a university degree, and have a minimum of three years' work experience.
Hamidi also raised the issue of press bias. He urged media outlets covering the election to abide by IEC regulations and ensure that their reports remained impartial.
He warned that some of the presidential candidates held significant influence over Afghan radio and television networks and might seek to control their output. "It is the responsibility of IEC to prevent this kind of bias," he said.
Ibadullah Omar is a student at Ghazni University and an IWPR trainee.
This report was produced as part of Open Minds: Speaking Up, Reaching Out – Promoting University and Youth Participation in Afghan Elections, an IWPR initiative funded by the US embassy in Kabul.

Thank you care.jackson! one more helpful tip.
Breakfast is breaking my spirit! Help
Hi friends, I'm on my second week of slow carving, this is my second giving this life style a try, last time I dropped the whole thing because I just couldn't do breakfast within 30 min (it would make me gag) Of waking, and I don't even think I'm getting the 30grams recommended...I just don't know what to do, I need to stick with it, but I don't know how to make this more pleasant. Any easy breakfast ideas that will give me the 30grams of protein? I'm desperate for suggestions.
Thank you, you all are so great!
The Best Answer
I had this problem in the begining too and it killed me because I couldn't eat the rest of the day so I would find myself breaking the SCD late at night and I gained more weight. I solved it by making a fritata. I Take 1 and a half cups of black beans and mash it up on the bottom of a medium sized squared pan. Make sure you butter it a little first. Then I add my 13 eggs 2 cups of cooked crumbled sausage that i cook and crumble myself. 1 and a hlaf cups of cooked spinach and I bake it at 350 for about 20 - 25 minutes.
When it is done I cut it into 4 peices and I reheat it in the am. I make it the night of my cheat day so im ready to start SCD the next morning. I also make a huge bag of spinach. Enough to last me two days and I individualize my meats and fish so that they are portioned on a per meal basis. Even my breakfast protein is individualized. This saves me a lot of time in the kitchen so I dont feel like I am cooking constantly.
For breakfast I either have 3 eggs scrambled 3 pieces of sausage or canadian bacon 1/2 cup of spinach and 1/2 cup of beans
Or I have my fritata that I made (which is a lot easier to eat.)
Lunch I have shrimp a half a plate of spinach and 1/4 cup of black beans or I have tunafish spinach and beans
Dinner I either have 1 to 2 pieces of the following steak, chicken, fish or a ground veal patty with a half plate of spinach and a salad.
AT first it seems like a lot of food but you do get use to it and I drink at least 3 liters of water a day.
I totally hear you. Breakfast is tough. Usually the night before so I don't have to make breakfast in the morning because I'm way too tired, I make up a huge batch of eggs supreme as I call it.
I saute onions, garlic, peppers in coconut oil, put in some steamed kale and other herbs and spices, add turkey sausage and voila, I can nuke em in the microwave the next morning with some black beans. It's still doesn't feel so natural for me to eat that early but I gotta fake it till I make it
All Answers
What about making a frittata, eggmuffins, an omelette? You can cook it and reheat a piece every morning.
Try this recipe by arctichacker, or something similar to it, it's really good.
Also spices make a big difference in making something tasty.
There are lots of ways to make eggs delicious, you don't need to eat them hard boiled!
cmartinez, thank you so much! I love this forum, everyone is so thoughtful and supportive...with the egg muffins do you get the 30 grams of protein? see my major issue is eating all this food! I can't eat that much, I'm just not hungry, I get full very fast too! (one of the things I love about this diet), I don't have cravings, I'm working out, I'm not desperately looking forward to cheat days like I was the first time I tried this diet...I will try the muffins! I'm an ok cook, I think if I put more thought into this and apply myself I can probably come up with better ways to get those 30 grams of protein in me.
This is my favourite routine.
Big glass of cooold water
4 slices of thick sliced bacon (watch the ingredients to make sure there is no sugar). 20 Grams
2 Organic Eggs. 10 Grams
Healthy scoop of refried beans on the side.
Add a handful of spinach that I put under the eggs.
Takes about 20 minutes, 10 to eat. I soak the pans for the day and wash them when I get home from work.
Another one that can be warmed up quickly though I do not know the exact grams but I am sure it is 30 or more.
Cook 2 Pounds of ground beef (or turkey) with sugar free taco spice (I use Taco Time).
Add crushed cauliflower.
Add lots of eggs (5 or 6)
Throw it in the fridge. It will last for 3 days worth of quick breakfasts. I also add refried beans and salsa to my plate, sometimes spinach.
Hope that helps.
Not sure what you are eating-I had a similar issue- I love eggs but couldn't manage to eat enough in the morning and found that adding some sort of meat and/or veg makes eggs a lot more palatable- I couldn't eat 3 scrambled eggs but having three scrambled with some spinach and chicken sausage was a breeze! now I can eat a 4 egg(jumbo) omelette with spinach and sausage with no problems (typically I get closer to 40-50 grams protein for breakfast)
If you find you just can't do it- try ramping up, how about this?
Start with a protein shake for breakfast, then after a few days or a week dial back the protein and add an egg, then dial back the protien even more after a few more days and add another egg, etc, etc until you wean yourself off of the protein shakes and are getting all your protein from a whole food source.
Or start out with as many eggs as you can comfortably eat and then as soon as you don't feel sick, eat some more, and repeat the process until you reach 30 grams.
Or make a big omelette, or whatever you want (containing 30 grams protein) eat as much as you can and take the rest with you in a Tupperware and keep eating it when you don't feel sick.
Or is it just a timing thing? can you eat breakfast free of issues after an hour? if so work with that and just shave off a few minutes every day or week until you solve the issue!
Thank you wombat! how many eggs do you need to eat to reach the 30 grams of protein? Thank you...No timing is not the issue for me, is more of making myself eat all that food in the window I have! I want to do everything by the book, I want to stick with this past the 5 week mark. I like eggs, but not this much, it's getting hard to eat them, I find that on this diet (way of eating) I'm not as hungry and I get full very easily! I will stick with it and play around to find a way to be happy with Slow Carbing, this is something I want to do for the rest of my life!
Not knowing what size eggs you are using it would be anywhere from 4 Jumbo eggs (8*4=32Grams) to 6.5 small eggs (6.5*4.63=30.095Ggrams)
This assumes you are just eating eggs for breakfast so if you add some beans, or meat you can decrease the eggs.
Based on your responses I'd say add some variety to your eggs- it makes them much more palatable, and don't worry if you can't finish the whole 30 grams within 30 minutes- I think the idea is that you start eating within 30 minutes so just get it done as soon as you can and then each day it will be easier to eat a little more, a little sooner.
I eat 2 eggs with two heaped teaspoons of cottage cheese, a 1/3 of a cup of beans and two or three blocks of defrosted spinach scrambled in a little bit of butter every morning, seasoned with some salt and pepper. It takes like 10 minutes to make and tastes pretty good and gets me my 30g of protein. Prior to going on the diet, I would rarely eat breakfast, preferring to have a cup of coffee (milk and sugar) when I got to work. It takes time to adjust to eating in the morning but you can do it! Maybe focus more on eating the meal then work on the 30 minutes afterwards.
I don't know anything about protein shakes. They're outside my budget.
it does get easier, I promise! I hated trying to eat some much for breakfast when I started too. My morning routine takes less than 15 minutes to prep.
start with a 9" frying pan, a tiny bit of olive oil and fill it with spinach. I like using some different spice mixes and my current favorite is Sunny Paris by Penzey's. I generally let the spinach wilt while getting dressed. After the spinach has cooked down, move it onto your plate / container. Whisk 3 eggs in a bowl with whatever spices you enjoy, then add a lil butter to the frying pan and cook the eggs over medium heat. I cheat with the bacon and use Trader Joe's pre-cooked - nuke 2 slices for 35 seconds and viola you have a delicious breakfast! I've really cut down on the beans and lentils - so rarely have them for breakfasts.
My girlfriend still has this problem, even after several months of being on the diet. Sometimes she eats the egg muffins I prepare ahead of time (you can view them here: http://ericisaac.com/food/egg-muffins-and-lifestyle-changes/), but usually she just prefers to mix whey protein into her coffee in the morning.
I recommend Tera's Whey - it's organic and made with stevia so no sugar.

I have an excel file with columns that may have more than 255 characters but sometimes the number of characters may be less than 255. In this case changing the registry value to check the whole sheet versus the first 8 rows does not work because on
one file there may be more than 255 characters and on other files every row may have less than 255. How can this be handled with SSIS and Excel?
If you set the output of columns that could be greater than 255 to [DT_NTEXT] it works when that is the case, but if all the rows for that column are less than 255 then you get the error:

Mayor Sandy Lucy and members of the Washington Area Highway Transportation Committee were informed Monday of a plan by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to add wide shoulders to Highway 47 from the north end of the Washington bridge to Highway 94 at Dutzow. The mayor said it all: "This is really good news."
Adding to the surprise announcement was that work will begin this summer on the project.
The work will pave the way for a bicycle path to the Katy Trail. It won't be a completed project until the new Highway 47 bridge over the Missouri River is built. The bridge construction is slated to begin in 2017.
It is a harbinger of something good that will benefit many people for many years. Ever since the Katy Trial was built, there has been a yearning to make a connection to Washington and Franklin County. It's going to be a reality. There will be a bicycle and pedestrian path on the new bridge.
It's something to look forward to, especially for the bicycle riders, who are growing in numbers.

I've been fiddling around with guitarix for a while, and decided to record a few things.
I play electric mandolin, and it's well suited to guitarix. Here are a couple of pieces I think folks here may enjoy, certainly of a different genre than some of the guitarix demos out there.
I'm really enjoying guitarix more than zoom/digitech stuff. In some ways I like it better than "real" tube amps. I've got plans for a console with an rpi3 and arduino for running guitarix as a standalone effect.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by TEXANS84, Jul 19, 2007.
I don't know if any of y'all heard this the other day, but Jacoby Jones was on the Sirius NFL Radio station the other day doing an interview.
Funny as heck.
They got him to sing along with Aretha Franklin to the song "Respect."
I bring this up because he said something to the effect of: Fred Bennett is good at jamming at the line because his arms are long. His arms are so long that he can pick up a nickle without bending over.
Wouldn't it be lovely if someone who is a good quote on the team also tears it up on the field? Fred being good would be a nice thing too.
Heard on the radio today that they're pretty far along in talks with Amobi and he should be in the fold by training camp.
Can't think of a guy who was really good for a quote except Salaam, McKinney, and was it Stanley or Brown? The others - Carr, Wong, AJ, DD/DW, Glenn - were/are all pretty straight-laced.
RE-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-spect! Now I have that song stuck in my head. THanks a lot.
in this case I get the feeling we agree about Jacoby, I've stated it numerous times since the draft from watching game film & listening to interviews that Jacoby is gonna be special, just wait.
regarding Fred Bennett he is another feather in the hat of Rick Smith & his outstanding draft. with help from Dunta he is gonna have a similar impact to this team as last years 4th rd. pick Owen Daniels. not only will he see playing time as a rookie by the middle to end he could be starting.
I am glad to see Bennett just about in the fold. I hope Jones and Amobi are soon. Good to see progress being made.
With Smith, the Hamburg guy, I invoke the "weakest link in the chain rule". If he takes the job of someone already on the team and improves the weakest link of the team. The team still rises a notch, even if he just mans a spot on the line for a the return team.
I know it's always a major focus with the Texans to get everybody signed before camp (which I love). Does anyone perceive any hangups with this squad getting signed before next friday?
If Bennett and Jacoby are starters at any time this season, I'll be ecstatic and thinking Super Bowl in 2008.
Im glad that they got Harrison inked but i feel the priority should rest on getting Frye and Studdard signed with all the problems the O-line had with injuries last year.
Studdard agreed to terms earlier today.
Hadn't heard anything about Harrison. Not really concerned either. Rookies tend to sign contracts before camp starts - at least those who aren't high first round picks.
Separate names with a comma.

2013 Canada World Junior team - anyone care to take a stab?

What I think will happen (with some explanation/commentary) based on Hockey Canada's tendencies. I'd personally love to see Adam Lowry, Drouin, Ryan Pulock but alas my dreams are slain by common sense.
Given that Canada has such depth in D prospects and a weak group of 94 forwards, I think it makes sense to go with 12F/8D. If Hockey Canada wants to give multiple draft-eligible forwards (Drouin/Shinkaruk/Domi/Lazar) a shot in selection camp then cool, but I think they should roll 8 deep on D.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
- with a year of NHL experience, should be put with MacKinnon à la Bergeron/Crosby in 2005.
- returning..
Ryan Strome
- returning..
Mark Scheifele
- returning..
Boone Jenner
- the real forward locks end here. People saying any other forward is a lock are homers/trolls/idiots.
Ty Rattie
- scores a ton, Good-Alberta-Boy should have made it last year on home-ice, should be top 6 winger.
Nathan MacKinnon
- probs #1 pick, huge hype, should be 1st/2nd line winger rather than 13th forward.
Phillip Danault
- great all around game. Possibly best defensive forwward on team.
Mark McNeill
- don't know why he's not getting more mentions. 200 PTS in 230 CHL games (usually on crap PA Raider teams) so he can score, also terrific defensive game, was a top 20 pick, brings beef to small-ish team, was invited to camp last year.
Phil Di Giuseppe
- I'd rather see Charlie Hudon, but they usually take a college guy, so congrats Phil.
Tom Wilson
- not really a fan, doesn't score enough to justify 16th overall pick, but seems like an ideal 4th liner.
Sean Monahan
- for me, edges out Shinkaruk because of size and better defensive game.
lines something like:
Huberdeau - Nuge - MacKinnon
Strome - Scheifele - Rattie
Di Giuseppe - Jenner - McNeill
Danault - Monahan - Wilson
Dougie Hamilton
- best D-Man outside NHL?? Playing in OHL is unfair.
Ryan Murray
- returning.
Scott Harrington
- returning.
Ryan Murphy
- token "Player-from-coach's-team"
Morgan Rielly
- only flaw is bizarre spelling of last name.
Xavier Ouellet
- logs big minutes, moves puck, solid defense.
Griffin Reinhart
- Hockey Canada gets off on tall blueliners (see: Oleksiak, Jamieson)
Mathew Dumba
- I think Dumba has captained Canada twice at U18 level, scores lots of goals, throws huge hits. Can't believe I'm leaving Ceci off with eight defensemen.
Pair em however you like. Didn't Rielly & Reinhart play together as kiddies, that would be a cute pair.
Malcolm Subban
- everyone's presumed starter.
As we saw last year, as far as goalies go, if you get invited to camp, its often whoever does best there who makes the team. So its really a toss-up between Brossoit/Binnington/whoever else you like.
But for everyone pushing Fucale, remember that no draft-eligible goalie has made the team since Marc-Andre Fleury in '03. Carey Price (5th overall in 2005) didn't make WJC year before his draft. So I guess my point is Fucale would have to be damn impressive to make it.
Sorry for posting a novel.

NFC has been hovering on the edges of consumer adoption for some time and brands are yet to take advantage of the technology's potential.
There is a massive, exciting opportunity to create new methods of consumer engagement and enhance existing marketing and communication channels.
NFC uses RFID (radio frequency identification) to enable close range two-way communication between mobile devices and physical objects.
The technology will allow us to make transactions and exchange digital content and information quickly and simply, in a way that's far more direct and secure than existing methods such as Bluetooth and QR codes.
The slow uptake by brands has been largely due to the lack of NFC-enabled handsets in the UK market, but things are shifting and the hardware is becoming more readily available.
The recent Berg Insight report stated that sales of NFC-enabled handsets increased to 30 million units globally by the end of 2011 and that this number will increase to 700 million units by 2016.
As mobile becomes the key communication channel between brands and their customers, NFC will add a further layer of communication that will link digital and physical spaces' interaction with brands.
Financial services and mobile operators have had NFC on their radar for some time.
Visa has run a wide range of trials globally and, in 2008, O2 trialled NFC for VIPs at the Wireless Festival, giving them access to extra privileges as they were scanned into VIP zones. O2 also ran successful trials with handsets replacing Oyster cards.
Barclaycard has made huge leaps driving consumer adoption of this technology through the early adoption of contactless cards and their partnership with Orange to launch an NFC wallet phone.
Google announced Google Wallet last year to much fanfare but the platform is reliant on partnerships with banks and credit cards in order to take it mainstream.
Right now the only bank on board is Citi and the only network operator deal in place is with Sprint in the US.
A strategic approach to mobile and digital brand strategy should start considering the impact NFC could have on business and marketing objectives.
Outside of payments and commerce, four areas of opportunity for brands include OOH, location-based, events/sponsorship and retail.
Outdoor advertising will become more directly interactive with NFC replacing QR codes to enable two-way interactions and distribution of content, applications and information.
Brands will also be able to take location-based activity to the next level, which will give greater scope for gamification.
And NFC could enable brands to interact more directly with their customers in the event and sponsorship space - extending their experience into the digital and social space.
In the retail environment, NFC will also be able to offer another dimension for brands through enhanced product exploration and loyalty that extends the retail experience onto mobile and digital.
We're all waiting for consumer adoption and awareness levels to rise.
A recent study by Posterscope and Clear Channel showed that only 51% of smartphone owners have even heard of NFC and 6 in 10 of those with an NFC-enabled handset don't even know they have it.
It's all summarised in an infographic you can access here.
The tipping point of consumer awareness and adoption of the technology is likely to come when Apple integrates NFC into its hardware and software.
Although just rumours at this stage, it's likely that Apple would exert its usual levels of control and tie NFC to Apple devices only and payments directly to iTunes accounts.
As an agency we're determined to keep exploring the possibilities of innovation and new technology such as NFC, and how it could benefit our clients. In partnership with O2, we recently ran the Isobar Create London event in Shoreditch, a 34-hour hackathon that invited teams of designers and developers to come together to develop innovative new concepts using NFC.
After a monumental effort of creative thinking and graft, some fantastic working prototypes were developed.
This included an app that linked directly to activity at concerts and events, an integrated ticketing and queue management app at theme parks, an app that syncs the users' dietary requirements with food products in store, an app that integrates payment of prescriptions with an interactive medication diary, and an app that directly connects a user's handset to a specific Wi-Fi network.
All of these demonstrate that the potential for NFC goes far beyond just commerce.
What's clear, however, is that NFC is an underestimated emerging channel that will greatly improve interactions between brands and consumers, fundamentally changing the way businesses operate and the way consumers behave.

New 60-second TV spot for Quentin Tarantino's sure to be bloody Western "Django Unchained". New spot, same pronunciation of the man's name. That's with a silent "d" in case you forgot. Also, more looks at Samuel L. Jackson as the man behind The Man, if you will. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a 5-minute monologue about how a slave ended up being in a position of power. I reckon it will probably involve clever wordplay. I could be wrong, of course.
Jamie Foxx plays Django, a slave-turned-bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner played by a sleazy Leonardo DiCaprio. "Inglourious Basterds'" Christoph Waltz plays the mentor who teaches Django the killin' trade. Killin' white folks and getting paid for it? Not a bad gig if you can get'em.
Also starring Kerry Washington, Walton Goggins, Don Johnson, RZA, Gerald McRaney, Anthony LaPaglia, James Russo, M.C. Gainey, and unchaining in theaters December 25, 2012.

Here are a few mistakes that many small business owners make and how to avoid them.
Failing to keep all your receipts and expense vouchers. File all your receipts and your expense records, however small, in a file. Sort them by date so they are easy to locate.
Having an accurate record of all receipts will assure the IRS that you are making legitimate claims.
Failing to use an accounting and inventory software package. Many of these packages are available on the market today. This is software that can reconcile your bank statements as well as keep track of your sales, and outstanding payables and receivables and your bank and cash positions. It can also keep track of your inventory and remind you to place orders for depletions.
Today's tax and accounting software packages have so many features and are so affordable that it's a big mistake not to purchase and use them fully. They can help you to save time and money - and maintain computerized records of all transactions.
If you lack the confidence to use the software, then hire a bookkeeper who is conversant with computers.
Failure to use a logical accounting system. Use a proper accounting system to keep track of your payments and receipts. Issue all your checks in the correct sequence and do the same with sales receipts. This will make it easy for you - and the IRS, if necessary, to track all your accounting data.
Do not maintain your accounts in such a way that the IRS will have doubts about your business. The IRS will be much happier if you have maintained your accounts in such a way that your entries can be traced right to the source.
That will leave no doubt in their mind as to the genuineness of your entries - and your business as a whole.
Failure to use separate credit cards for business and personal expenses. Use one set of credit cards for business-related expenses, such as those related to travel and purchases - and another set to make personal purchases such as eating out with your family. That way, you can check your credit card statements easily and file those related to your business in your office files.
Set up separate bank accounts in the same way. Issue checks related to your business only from your business account and make all personal payments from your personal account. Follow this system strictly to avoid any confusion come tax time.
If you use these tips, you will avoid the pitfalls that many small business owners fall into in the maintenance of their records. When it comes to taxes and bookkeeping, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Finishing 15th in Ironman 'bittersweet' for Hoffman
After his best performance in the Ironman World Championships, Ben Hoffman is hungry for more.
The Grand Junction High School graduate placed 15th in his fourth Ironman World Championship Pro Division race Oct. 12 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
"It's a step in the right direction for sure," Hoffman said. "There was a lot of good and some bad. It shows me I can take steps forward."
The 30-year-old, who now resides in Boulder, finished in 8 hours, 36 minutes, 25 seconds. He completed the 2.4-mile swim in 51:12, the 112-mile bike ride in 4:40:29 and the 26.2-mile marathon run in 3:00:28.
"It was a combination of things," Hoffman said of his best Ironman World result. "The biggest thing was I took a year away and just watched it last year. I also won the last three Ironman races I was in. Those were important steps for me. I had a more balanced effort and good training leading into it."
Hoffman was the second American to finish. Tim O'Donnell placed fifth.
Hoffman, though, was somewhat disappointed.
"I showed up (this year) with slightly higher goals," he said. "I'm still digesting it. It was bittersweet. I was five minutes off my time goal. If I reached it, that would've put me 10th. I have to be 1 percent better."
Hoffman started off with a good swim, trailing the leader by 21 seconds, but he fell off the pace on the bike, usually his strongest event.
"I had a phenomenal swim," he said. "The beginning of the bike I made a tactical error and got behind. I think it had a yo-yo effect and took out my legs when I climbed up near the turnaround. I fell off the pace and decided to ride my own race.
"The run went well. I went out under control and netted quite a few spots, four, five or six."
Hoffman finished higher than three-time world champion Craig Alexander and last year's winner, Pete Jacobs, both of Australia.
Alexander finished 21st in 8:43:59. He set the course record with a time of 8:03:56 in 2011.
Jacobs finished 32nd in the pro division in 9:06:39.
"In 2011, I came in with a significant injury to my lower leg," Hoffman said. "I came out committed to try, and it was clear early in the run I was not going to make it. That's as big of a battle there is: to show up healthy."
Hoffman said he has his core group of sponsors in place and had some conversations with other sponsors. His main sponsors include Zoot, Specialized, Volkswagen and Clif Bar.
"I'm still relatively young," Hoffman said. "Potentially, I have 10 more years as long as my mental game stays sharp. Physically, I'm there."
Alexander was 38 years old when he set the Ironman World Championship course record.

Lebanon's Health Ministry Declares War on Lethal Mosquitoes
Health officials urged Lebanese on Friday to spray stagnant water with insecticides and report any unexplained illnesses, steps to guard against two mosquito-borne viruses blamed for deaths elsewhere in the region, the Daily Star reported on Saturday.
The paper quoted the Lebanese Health Minister Karam Karam as saying through the local radio station "no cases of West Nile Virus or Rift Valley Fever have been reported in Lebanon."
According to Health Ministry official Nabil Salam, an outbreak of the virus in Lebanon depends on whether migrating birds from regions in Africa, where the virus is prevalent, pass through the country.
A ministry statement urged Lebanese to spray ponds and other stagnant water with insecticides, use mosquito netting and immediately report unexplained illnesses - Albawaba.com

Eye is developing a four-hour movie about the king of rock 'n' roll, and has the blessing of the Elvis Presley estate for the project. As a result, the movie -- tentativelydubbed "Elvis" -- will be the first TV project to use master recordings of some of Presley's biggest hits, CBS said.
Jaffe/Braunstein Films is producing, with Robert Greenblatt and David Janollari ("Six FeetUnder") on board as exec producers along with Howard Braunstein and Michael Jaffe ("10.5"). Patrick Sheane Duncan ("Courage Under Fire," "Mr. Holland's Opus") is attached to write the pic, which is targeted for next season.
Braunstein said getting the Presley estate on board was key to the decision to pursue "Elvis."
"We thought that if you're going to do this right, you just can't do it without their co-operation," Braunstein said. "They're going to open their archives for us, and that means we really get first-hand information about his life rather than just some biography."
Idea for the project was first hatched more than 18 months ago, with the producers working to secure the OK from Presley's estate.
"I just thought this story had never been told in a complete and classy way," said Greenblatt, who first approached Elvis Presley Enterprises with the idea. "The closest thing was the Kurt Russell project (in 1979), and that was only two hours."
Real thing
Previous telepics about Presley have used sound-alikes to record Presley's songs, Braunstein said. Individual Elvis songs have been licensed for feature soundtracks. Using the original master recordings will give the CBS project an authenticity other projects lacked, the producer said.
"When our Elvis actor opens his mouth, it'll be Elvis' voice that comes out," Greenblatt said.
Despite the cooperation of the Presley estate, "Elvis" won't offer a whitewashed version of history.
"We told the estate from the beginning that we want to do warts and all," Braunstein said."The estate understands that you need to tell the true version of his story. And hopefully, with access to the archives, we can learn all sorts of new and provocative things."
Added Greenblatt: "The estate is not afraid of doing the darker side (of Presley). It justwants it done with class and integrity, like Craig (Zadan) and Neil (Meron) did with theirJudy Garland movie."
"Elvis" won't be a birth-to-death biopic of the king, but Braunstein's not sure yet which parts of Presley's life will be included in the movie.
Elvis expert
Greenblatt said snagging Duncan to write the project is also a coup. "We had no idea when we first talked to him, but he is a complete Elvis nut -- and I say that in the most positive way," he said. "He's the perfect expert and a great writer, rolled into one."
Numerous telepics and features have been made about Presley, but Braunstein thinks the public's appetite for all things King remains strong. "The CD collections released a couple years ago went to the top of the charts," he said. "This man still has an enormous fan base."
Braunstein/Jaffe's "Brooke Ellison" was greenlit to production at A&E two weeks ago with Christopher Reeve on board to helm the tale of a quadriplegic youth who graduates with honors from Harvard.

If someone were to download music for free, the likelihood is it wouldn't have been a legal process. However, the majority of people who do download music for free are certainly not intending to break the law. With sources such as the internet that are capable of providing a favoured artists music free of charge, it is understandable that such a high level of music downloads are the result of illegal distribution. Let's take a look at some of the positive and negative aspects should you be tempted to download music for free.
It is argued by many throughout the music industry that the ability to download music for free can have substantially positive results in the long term. British soloist Ed Sheeran was nominated for best song at the Grammy Awards in 2013, seeing his popularity rise considerably through the use of social networking. He has been quoted in the past, along with other Grammy award winners, as showing support to those who download music for free as they help to promote music and aid its progression throughout the internet. Sheeran is best known for being an internet video sensation and was, in 2012, the musician with the most illegally downloaded content in the UK. Of course, there are also plenty of American songwriters including Nine Inch Nails that release their work on licensed music download shops for free. These particular songs will easily find their way across the internet, thus aiding their reputation and popularity within their genre.
There are plenty of negatives that surround illegal downloading and distribution of music. Ultimately, you are breaking the law by possessing and using something that was intended for sale purposes. Therefore should you intend to download music for free that was previously purchased, you are running the risk of being caught by the police however unlikely it may seem. In truth, younger people who are extremely fond of music and who have accessibility to an online computer are likely to download music for free. Furthermore, younger artists that are hoping to take a foot-hold in the industry with their music are more susceptible to illegal distribution should they release it on the internet. This can damage their hopes of making money and could also lead to plagiarism or other theft-related incidents that surround music on the internet.

With Youth Day upon us, Tonight spoke to some iconic SA artists as well as up-and coming musicians to find out what their take is, what part role models play in the development of our young people and if, indeed, this in turn translates into influencing their attitude towards the future. We asked them the following questions: Who is your role model? Do we have enough role models in SA? And, finally, do the youth care about their future, or is it all about the bling of right here, right now?
Jack Parow: His second album, Eksie Ou, has gone gold. This Afrikaans rapper is going from strength to unholy strength with his irreverent take on the silliness of our society.
My Role Model: The guy from the Richelieu brandy bottle. He has a nice, slick snor and wears a nice hat as well and obviously drinks lots of brandy. I am happy to have him as my role model.
SA Role Models: We have a lot of role models, like music role models and business people. There are too many to name. We have a lot of strong people working hard for many different things.
The Future vs Bling: There are too many young people obsessed with the bling, but there are a lot who are trying to build their destiny. Unfortunately, many are obsessed with driving the fancy cars, which is never a good thing.
Tokollo: His track S'gub Sam, featuring fellow TKZee member Zwai Bala, is big on radio. It is off his latest and best album, Heist. It also sees kwaito's baddest boy searching for a new truth.
My Role Model: Jesus. He was selfless.
SA Role Models: It's not in the way the media are portraying our people, or in the way key people are behaving. Our youth don't really know who to look up to. But then again, that happens in every country. Ours is no different. There have been more people killed by George Bush than by Zuma.
The Future vs Bling: The youth are interested in the present. This is a big shortcoming for this country. The youth must know that what they are doing now will affect them later. I did so much s*** in my youth and am still here trying to carve my life. They must have fun, but must always think of better days and growth, not like some of us who didn't think like that. I know they think I'm talking bull because I am an old geezer, but its all about how you see yourself in the next 10 years. It goes so quickly.
Louise Carver: She has a controversial song out called How You Gonna Do It? This electro-rock-pop track is her darkest yet and deals with a big issue in our country – male violence towards women.
My Role Model: I have role models for different things.My moral barometer is my mother. Career-wise it is any woman who has survived this industry over the age of 40 and who is still creating their own material.
SA Role Models: Nelson Mandela represents forgiveness. Unfortunately there are no role models in politics – quite the opposite, in fact. Just look out our various heads of police. On the entertainment side I think what Danny K and Kabelo have done with the Shout campaign is admirable. I have a lot of friends and peers in the industry who work with good causes and I hope we are role models to our fans.
The Future vs Bling: There are many youth who are materialistic. Hopefully that phase will pass. Those things are fun, but not as valuable as they think. Hopefully, the next generation will be more concerned with things of greater value, like the environment.
Chad Saaiman: He has just released a documentary called Soldier about his violent hijacking. His single Bang X2 is already playlisted in his home province of the Western Cape and the video is available on YouTube.
My Role Model: It is clichéd, but in the context of what we are talking about, it has to be Nelson Mandela.
SA Role Models: Off the top of my head, Jo-Ann Strauss is such a perfect brand. What Danny K and Kabelo are doing with Shout is pretty amazing. Bonang is also a good role model because she is in touch with the youth. Role models shouldn't only be accessible to the rich and famous, but to people on the streets, too. People love her, from young to old.
The Future vs Bling: Youth care more about their future than they used to. Unfortunately there are role models who promote bling more than the moral side of life. But I think we're getting there.
Jacques MooLman: The wild lead singer from The Shadowclub is enjoying his status as the babe of rock 'n' roll. However, his insightful lyrics also show a young man who thinks deeply about the ways of the world.
My Role Model: I have so many. My dad, because of his stubborness with his fearlessness in standing up for what he believes in as a creative. Jack White, because of how prolific his work is.
SA Role Models: There are definitely musos I look up to for their genius and musicality – Albert Frost and Piet Botha. Zahara is someone to look up to for young women because she is confident yet humble. Spoek Mathambo and Die Antwoord are breaking overseas and have an international attitude. There is incredible talent among the youth and they must use themselves as role models.
The Future vs Bling: The youth don't seem to care about creating an SA original destiny. There is a lot of copying and looking towards America. However, there are young people who are coming to the fore with something original to offer.
Atomza: One of five singers of The Muffinz. This new band have burst on to the music scene with their debut album, Have You Heard? They're fresh, talented and have a big future ahead of them.
My Role Model: I don't have a specific role model. There are a lot of people I admire in terms of music and community.
SA Role Models: There are a number of people who do great things. Shaka Sisulu does a great job working with underprivileged people. His Cheesekids project where he takes advantaged people to work in the 'hood is amazing. Then there are others who are a complete waste of mature flesh. They are old, but they still act like kids. It's the Peter Pan syndrome in SA. They are still about getting their hustle on and don't see fit to help others.
The Future vs Bling: The majority of young people think about bling, but also about the long run. Trends show there has been a shift on how young people think, like savings, etc. Good things are happening, but our leaders are the ones messing up the whole process.
Tira: The current king of entertainment and all things cool is about to release his second solo album. Called Ezase Afro Vol 2, it will be available from early in August.
My Role Model: Oskido came from nothing to where he is right now. He taught me so much about the music industry and is still the best in the game. And he is doing so much for the youth in this country.
SA Role Models: Lucas Radebe is a great model, as is Romeo Khumalo.
The Future vs Bling: Some of the youth are caught up in that bling community. But there are those who are investing in the right structures. We just need a few more conferences and educational tools to point them in the right direction.
Benjamin Jephta: At just 19 and in his third year of music at UCT, Jephta has graced the Cape Town International Jazz festival stage, was part of the Standard Bank National Youth Band last year and is the winner of this year's FMR award. He can be seen next month at the Standard Bank National Arts Festival where he'll feature with French quartet The Elephants in the Big Time project.
Your Role Model: I wouldn't say I have one specific role model. I do have people in my life, however, who are constantly encouraging me, and I tend to pick up certain things from them. My parents, teachers, older musos and friends have kind of moulded me into the person I have become. The way I behave in public, my morals and even (musically) the professional attitude I try to bring forth when I play/gig.
SA Role Models: We have enough public role models. It's just up to the youth to latch on to the good ones and not the bad. It all starts at home. If you have parents who can instill a good sense of independent choice with in you, they can leave you to make choices that are morally sound. That way, rather than the youth trying to be like Kim Kardashian or Chris Brown, we'd rather model ourselves after leaders in our communities, our parents or musicians with good moral fibre.
The Future vs Bling: You do get many youth who do not really care about where they are heading in life. There are, however, others who do care. I think that in today's youth it's not about fame any more. Many of us are trying to equip ourselves to become doctors, engineers, politicians and entertainers so that we can give back to our community and even show the world what SA has to offer.
Kanyi Mavi: The Cape Town-based rapper recently released her debut album, Iintombi Zifikile. Besides one the most important voices to emerge from the SA hip hop scene, Mavi boasts one of the most impressive breath control flows and is partly responsible for bringing rapping in Xhosa (that isn't Spaza) over banging beats back to the forefront.
My Role Model: My mother, because she really taught me everything there is to know in terms of the importance of life, living, family and education. I can only look to her. If I am a quarter of who she is then I'll be good.
SA Role Models: I don't think we have public role models. I admire different people for different reasons, but my role models are the people around me.
The Future vs Bling: Some youth do care. It would be close-minded to say "no". But a lot of youth are living under this – what's the word? – mirage, where bling is their destiny. They run away from real life toward this bubble of bling they can live in. But, also, you have to consider that the majority of the youth are not urban kids who went to model c schools. You have to look at it in a broad sense. Who are we talking about? Because some youth aren't urban and may not know what their destiny is, but are on the path to finding out.

Dr Alan Kingdon. Stepping into this "doctor's" office is a move I regret every second of every minute of every day. Literally. My life has completely been turned upside down and my looks will never be restored. My social life, confidence and basic love of life have been replaced by alternating feelings of rage, guilt and regret. I NEVER leave my house unless I have to anymore.
I once enjoyed an extremely fulfilling social life. I was actually almost overconfident regarding my appearance. But after a death in my family and subsequent depression I suddenly gained weight very rapidly. Betraying my lifestyle of health and fitness I sought results through cosmetic surgery. My very sharp and pronounced chin looked great at my normal body weight. But during this period of weight gain it did look a bit too sharp and unsightly. The doctor said he could take out the fat around the neck.. The "double chin" area. And also make the chin "appear" less upturned.
How many nights I've laid awake wishing I could be Sitting in that "doctor"'s chair.. again.. In my fantasies I would just run out there and then. Before he all but sucked out my chin and cheeks completely. "Nothing drastic" I kept reminding him. As a surgeon, it should be obvious that "less is more" and only fractions of a millimetre are all that are needed to alter the natural flowing angles and contours of one's face.
Dr. Alan Kingdon, like a toddler with sharp objects does not have this realisation. He eagerly went to work and took out the chin from every Which angle. It is now all but sucked out completely. And terrible gouges/scars under the chin as well as extreme saggy-ness where the fat was removed that cannot possibly be the result of 2 years of ageing.
After a total of 1 email expressing my dissatisfaction, and being allowed zero conversations with the doctor himself despite my many attempts (though thoroughly humiliated and yelled at by his clinical director Wendy) his office has blocked my emails and does not accept my phone calls. He did inform me in his Very brief and conclusive letter that the changes I've noticed hv nothing to do with the procedure and are the natural effects of ageing. (2-3yrs in the pix) Pls see for yourselves and let me know.
Due to lack of response or interest on the part of the doctor or his clinic, I have no choice but to inform everyone this way. Below photos are alternating before, after, before, after...

I have been going to Dr. Schuster for a few years. Not only is he professional and extremely skilled at what he does but also he is very kind and caring. The office is beautiful and immaculate, staff very accommodating and as much as I hate having to go, they can make it better. Another accolade for Dr. Schuster was the way he treated my elderly Mom (99 years). She had a problem with her false teeth and was in pain. I called a few dentists and couldn't get an appointment. Since Dr. Schuster was local, I thought I would give him a try. They immediately got her an appointment. He was gentle and kind to my Mom and was very patient with her. He never charged me for the visit and to this day always asks about her. To me, that sealed our relationship. Most medical professionals don't have the time to deal with a "little old lady." Metro Dental Associates really cares about you and not the bottom line. I highly recommend Dr. Schuster and his staff!
Beautiful modern office, the finest dentistry anywhere. This office rocks! From the dentists to the front desk, hygienists and assistants. I feel like I am treated like a VIP whenever I visit them. 5 stars for this office
Metro Dental Associates is a GREAT office with a great staff. Everything is pleasant experience - all of the staff is super sweet, the dentist's are great, the office is clean, they have TVs you can watch while you're there, the wait time is short, scheduling an appointment is easy, and the list goes on. I can't say enough good things about Metro Dental and Dr. Schuster.

Aug. 20: I took a while to post here as I've already had the procedure done, and I'm a week post op. But, i thought that i would share my story incase there was somebody out there who was in a similar place. I have found this website to be an enormous resource, so i'm really thankful to all the ladies who have posted, and shared photos etc.
Basically, I'd always been a 36B or C, depending on whether my weight was up or down, and of course, I had one breast that was slightly larger than the other, but not too bad. Then I had a baby, and everything went sideways, literally. ;) After I was done nursing, I ended up with one breast at a C cup, and one at an F. Super lopsided. And no, I didnt nurse more on one breast than the other.
I figured this was just something I'd live with... until I had a few extremely disappointing bra shopping experiences, where I ended up having to buy 36F size bras in order to fit my one large breast, with my other breast floating with enough empty space in the cup to fit a muffin in there. I cried. I felt horribly unattractive. I never wanted to let my husband see my breasts. So, I began to look into my options as far as what I could do.
At the same time, I started to develop all these weird body thing-- like tendonitis in my wrist, in my shoulder, ribs on the right side popping out, neck tightness etc etc. And it wasnt until a few years later that I realized that these likely had to do with my body asymmetry. I was slightly twisted, compensating for the heavy right breast.
I visited one plastic surgeon, but he didnt have any photos of asymmetry corrections. Just reductions. And frankly, I thought that the 'after' photos looked like 'frankenboobs', all scarred up and not nice shaped. Not at all better than the before photos. So, I left, disappointed, and resolved to just live with my shirts always pulling to one side, and to wearing very very uncomfortable extra large bras.
Then, I had another bad bra shopping experience. And I made an appointment to see another plastic surgeon. This one was referred to me by a friend... And he was wonderful. The first appointment was pretty hilarious-- i felt like he was tossing my boobs around like they were flap jacks, very methodical in his analysis of them. He lifted, he measured, he pinched, he even held a level up to them. And to have him say that I did have a significant size difference was incredibly gratifying. It made the whole visit worthwhile. He told me that I would qualify for a breast reduction paid for by our provincial health plan. Amazing news!! So, without thinking much about it, I just went for it. I signed up for the wait list, and waited for a surgery date to come up. And in the meantime, I read as much as I could about it, and tried not too think too much about the fact that he was going to be opening up my boobs like peeling a banana, and shifting my nipples to a new place, etc etc.
My surgery was a week ago today. The day of the surgery, I had to be at the clinic at 7.30AM...I was marked up (he used a template that he had made himself) and we confirmed again what size I would like to be. I had originally wanted to go down to a B cup, but he was concerned that with my frame (I'm 5'10"), they would be too small, so we settled on a C. The surgery was completely easy. I was laid on the table, we chatted about the Olympic closing ceremony and then I was waking up in the recovery room with a giant tensor bandage wrapped tight around my chest. I was home on my way home by 2.30PM, feeling super groggy and cross eyed (they gave me gravol and that stuff always knocks me on my ass).
The only pain meds I was given were Tylenol3's (they have codeine in them) so the pain management regimen is quite different and much lighter than what the ladies in the States get. I think they're really concerned here in Canada about the addictive qualities of many of the pain management meds.
That first day, I was taking 2 Tylenol3's every 4 hours, and after the first dose, I realized it wasnt doing anything and the pain was pretty distracting. But then I realized that two Tylenol3's and two Advil where the magic combo, and from then on, it was smooth sailing. No pain.
Day 1, 2x Tylenol3s and 2 x Advil. And ice, lots of ice. I was icing about once every 2 hours, to help keep the bleeding down, and also the swelling. I had also bought SinEccht (that Arnica Montana stuff) and was following the recommended dosage for those.
Day 2, 1x Tylenol3 and 2x Advil, about every 4-6hours. And lots of icing. And taking the Arnica stuff.
Day 3, 2 x Advil only. Lots of icing. And beginning to introduce a warm compress.
Day 4, no pain meds, less of the ice, and more of the warm compresses.
Day 5, no pain meds, warm compresses only and that's what I've been doing until today.
As of today, I find that I'm mobile. I'm able to raise my arms over my head, but I take it easy. No sudden jerky or pushy movements. I do find that I am getting tired quite easily, but I'm moving around and doing regular things. But I rest when I need to. Lots of downtime. I have steri-strips over my incisions which I have to keep in for 2-3weeks, as well as a surgical compression bra, which I need to keep on 24-7 for at least 6 weeks. Showering is OK as long as I pat dry. I was a little leaky about three days ago, but since then, my incisions have dried up. The incisions themselves feel ok, but last night it felt like I was having lighting bolts shooting through the inside of my breasts. I think that's normal? He used dissolvable stitches, and I had no staples, or drains put in. All in all, it's been super easy, and much much easier than I thought it would be.
I find that the hot compresses feel amazing. The warmth encourages the blood vessels to dilate and more blood rushes to the area... it feels so soothing and I find that any discomfort I'm feeling is made better. I'm really concerned about not having my nipples fall off (necrosis) so I want to encourage as much blood flow to the area as possible.
I've been eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and absolutely not smoking, as I've read that smoking can greatly affect healing and your chances of getting necrosis.
One thing that I would mention to women who are looking to get this procedure, is with regards to button up shirts. Two button up night shirts are super useful... but I've found that I can wiggle into most of my clothes, some of them I pull on from the bottom, and others I'm able to get over my head as long as I take it easy.
With regards to sleeping inclined, I have been using one of those Thai triangle pillows, with some additional pillows, and it's made the whole thing much more bearable, though it still feels like sleeping on an airplane. I'm now down to just using three pillows to prop myself up, and perhaps it might be overkill, as I think most of my swelling is done, but I'm playing it extra safe with my healing.
So, that's it for me. I'll post again in a few weeks, and we'll see how the boobies are looking then. Right now, I'm just SO pleased with the result. My shirts now button up again, and I feel lighter. They're so damn perky. It's awesome! :) I think one might be slightly larger than the other, but I want to wait until the swelling has gone down, and they've settled into their shape. But it's definitely something I can live with. Either way, they're a huge improvement over what I was working with before.
I have a few questions now, help? -- Asymmetry Correction, Reduction and Lift - British Columbia, Canada

Aug. 20: I took a while to post here as I've already had the procedure done, and I'm a week post op. But, i thought that i would share my story incase there was somebody out there who was in a similar place. I have found this website to be an enormous resource, so i'm really thankful to all the ladies who have posted, and shared photos etc.
**************************** Aug.28: I dont...
Aug.28: I dont think i'll update any photos until my steristrips come off.. and it looks like those will be hanging on for another week or so. But we'll see. I may change my mind and update a two week post-op photo.
I'm supposed to wait until they fall off on their own, with them staying on ideally for 2-3weeks.
I had my first post op visit with my surgeon last week, and he's really pleased with his work. Says he feels that he hit it it out the park, "home run". My healing looked good... and I have to say that my bruising is hugely reduced. That arnica stuff really works!
He said that I was to wear my compression bra for another 6 weeks at a minimum, because my incisions are healing and my scars are setting up on the inside, so having my boobs supported in an 'up' position will mean that the scars will set this way and I'll have a better shape, and longer lasting results. Makes sense to me. Though, I cant say that wearing this compression bra is all that great. It goes right into my armpits, and is not all that comfortable.
I've been told to lift and place my boobs so that they're facing forward, when in the compression bra. I'm 'training' my new boobs into the position they're supposed to stay in.
I'm two weeks post op, as of yesterday, and so far the electric bolts through my boobs have subsided, but now I'm finding they're very reactive to changes in temperature. And when that happens, they hurt alot, but mostly the ends of my nipples themselves. I think this is a mixed blessing, because at least it means that my nipples are responsive. Good, right?
I find that the pain is radically reduced from last week... last week, everything I did kind of reminded me that I hurt. Especially driving. Nothing like forgetting that your boobs are all stitched up then trying to manouver into a tight parking spot to remind you that moving your arms around is a bad idea. From then on, I was driving like I was holding pennies squeezed into my armpits. My energy levels are much better this week, and if the boobs have a little bounce when I walk it's not cringe inducing anymore. So, all positives, I think. I'm able to reach and stretch overhead with no problems. And the swelling has reduced drastically. Boobs feel more boob-like (soft and malleable) instead of like hard pointy melons.
So. Healing is progressing well. I did some reading and as a result have been taking huge quantities of vitamin C (important for tissue healing) and Bromelain (reducing swelling, bruising, speeding healing). I figure it all helps.
I've also got some silicone strips on order, to wear once my steri-strips come off. From what I've read, they are more effective than just using micropore tape to reduce scarring.
Anyhow... that's it for now.
*************************************** Sept. 6 :...
Sept. 6 : Well... I'm past the three week mark. I finally managed to pull the photo I took at two weeks post op off my phone, and onto my computer. I'm uploading it today... I'm no longer in danger of inadvertently showing my coworkers a photo of my tits as I scroll through the images on my phone.
Nothing is really different today, with regards to what they look like... Maybe a little less bruising. The steri-strips are still on there, believe it or not. The surgeon said I should leave them on for three weeks if possible, and that they would fall off on their own. They show no signs of loosening. I have a few edges lifted up, but for the most part, they're on there solid. I'm going to email my surgeon in a day or two and see what, if anything, I should do about that. I'm actually starting to feel a little anxious about it, as I'd like to get them off, give the area a good wash, and move onto my silicone strips.
The hyper-sensitivity to cold, breezes, or any change in temperature, is a little more manageable now... thank god.
I know we're supposed to avoid exercise for a while, but that stationary bikes, or eliptical trainers are ok at this stage... but I was a bad girl and rode my bike yesterday, to get my daughter up to a park to see an outdoor movie... I took it super easy. Was conscious of my arms and arm extension. It was a short ride, maybe 5mins total. And I didnt notice any soreness above and beyond my standard 'I'm slightly uncomfortable, but not completely healed' feeling.
I have a few questions if anyone feels like answering:
- I have a few areas along the incision line that are tender... mostly out towards the edges close to my armpit, of the anchor incision. And at the bottom of the vertical incision where the anchor and the vertical meet... This is normal, right? Other parts of the incisions feel totally fine/normal.
- Has anyone experienced incisions opening up, once they were past the three week date? or is it safe to assume I'm in the clear now, for that? I'm starting to get antsy about exercise, and I want to start being a little more physical. I'm dying to do some yoga, or get back on my bike.
- Today I noticed that starting at the bottom of my right breast, and going in a straight, slightly angled line, towards my lowest rib, was something raised that was tender to the touch, and kind of hard. For a minute there, I freaked out and of course jumped to the worst conclusion-- "OMG the surgeon left a needle inside me". But then I realized that a needle for stitches is probably curved, and also, it's most likely a raised vein or lymph node or something. Has anyone else had something similar?
- When can I start to expect feeling fully healed? No sore incisions. No fears of popping open. Back to sleeping on my stomach, and doing pushups and yoga? Can someone tell me if there's an 'average' week, when you start feeling like you can do normal life things again?
Thanks in advance for your helpful (and anxiety reducing) answers!
This provider was amazing. Super thorough. Answered all my questions, and is one of the best rated doctors in my area. He specializes in breasts.

Medical supplies
I know we often talk about food, water, and shelter but one thing I feel we need to discuss is the need for medical supplies and wound care. Nothing will take you out faster than an infected wound (especially if the infection goes systemic and you end up septic).
Of course the trick to avoiding such a thing is quick cleaning and proper wound care. Basic first aid kits work for basic first aid needs but lets face it, in a SHTF situation wounds you could recieve will be anything but basic. Medical centers and hospitals will quickly become overrun and being able to obtain care quickly will be all but non-existant. Even in this small town I live in if there is a mass casualty incident (6 or more trauma patients) combined with a few heart attacks and a stroke or two, the local hospitals are on divert status (meaning they divert less critical patients to other hospitals) and the other hospitals quickly become filled up. In a SHTF situation, I can safely assume that quick care will not be available.
Knowing all of the above I have been collecting wound care and other medical supplies but after being a Paramedic for many years I know I have only enough at this point to care for about a half dozen severely injured people.
What I am looking for in this thread is to kick around ideas, scenerios, and even post links to suppliers where medical supplies are available. I have my sources within my agencies suppliers but sometimes you end up paying more than you could if other suplpiers were available. I know many of you have military experience and others have LE experience. Throw your $.02 in as well. Maybe it wont be your life you save but with good information, maybe we could save someone elses life in a bad situation. So, lets kick this around for a bit and see where it goes.
This is an excellent idea.
I have accumulated a bunch of stuff, but I only have basic First Aid and CPR training. I am also building up a back supply of prescription meds for my wife and myself.
Guss, some good suggestions on where to get and what to stock up on:
In an extreme SHTF scenario, quick triage and post usefulness/productive/benefit of the patient, will be two determinable important factors IMHO.
Triage is an ugly but needed thing. In a true SHTF situation, I would hold no malice or ill will toward someone who let me be if my wounds were so severe that they would drain the resources of the rest of the group. That being said, I want to ensure that my family and anyone who chooses to hunker down with me has every chance to recover from most wounds that are or would be inflicted.
CA, you may only have limited training but common sense will guide you in how to treat injuries. If it is bleeding, stop the bleeding, if it is broke, stabilize it. If it cant breathe, give it an opening to breathe, etc. Medics are trained to do this the best way or the right way but if you can make the bleeding stop, you are doing something right. If what you are doing isnt working, try something different. This is one of those things that doing your best is all anyone can ask. Sure, we would all like to be perfectly trained when the situation arises but the reality is that isnt going to happen.
*oops, nm*
Thank you much sir.
I already have a lot of the stuff listed in those threads. What I want to do now is stock up.
I am in a very small town, the little hamlet I am in has a church, a fire station, 4 working farms and 3 dozen homes. In a SHTF scenerio, I already have friends and family that will be bugging out to my location. I have a great cross section of people who have things to offer. 2 Marines, 1 Army, 2 LEO's, 3 medics, 1 RN, 2 carpenters/construction, and of those folks 6 are avid outdoorsmen.
I know it will be my mission and intent to ensure the safety and security of the people of my little town. I want to make sure I have the needed supplies to handle situations.
I have been an EMT/Paramedic since 1993, my wife is an RN so I know we are capable but what I dont have direct experience with is battle related injuries. Sure, I have treated GSW's, MVA victims, burn victims, stabbings, etc. But what I am looking for is discussion on scenerios that have played out so I can guage wheather or not I have enough supplies and areas I may need to bulk up in.
Also with the idea of bulking up, I was wondering if people have ideas on where to purchase more supplies. Not a single roll of 4" cling but maybe a whole case of 4" cling wrap.
Keep this handy. It will give you some pointers.
This might come in handy as well.
EMT Prehospital Care - Google Books
Maybe everyone should look at taking a class like this.
Wilderness Advanced First Aid
Having someone in your group that is a medic will be one of your biggest life savers.
Also gus pony up $15 and become a supporting member. That and a PM to Dillinger will get you set up with Promotive.com where we get KILLER Deals on TONS of outdoor products. You get killer discounts on great first aid kits from Adventure Medical Kits. They have first aid kits built for outdoors-men.
when we exhuast our supplies on medical calls or car accidents a.m.r.replaces them for us but the rest of my supplies i get from galls.com although i do not use sutures or syringes now thinking about it i will begin to stock up on the medical supplies that i may need in a s.h.t.f. situation.what i have on hand i can keep you alive for awile but to perform any kind of surgery would be impossible.now you got me thinking....well at least i have another idea of what to spend my money on.
I have found that besides the basics we keep a few extras in our trauma kits. Those little tampons that look like tea bags are great to plug a bullet wound or stop a sucking chest wound. Kotex type pads work great as trauma pads. Duct tape. I have wrapped a wound and if it is raining or over spray from fire hoses or just sweat the tape comes lose. Duct tape holds. I use it on broken toes a lot. Wrap the toe to the next toe with gauze and then duct tape. Put your sock and boot back on and go. I also like to keep vitamins, 1/2 pt whiskey (Knob Creek) and when were in the boondocks some antibiotics. You can stock up on pharmacy grade antibiotics for your fish at calvetsupply.com . I keep track of what my Dr gives me, strength and doses 1 per day 2 per, 7 days 10 days etc. This way you have an idea about what a body requires. Make sure you have plenty of OTC Meds in your kit also. A few bottles of drinking water will be an asset too. In our CERT drills I end up as the Triage Officer every time, That's a tough job. Good luck on your kit.
like was stated above the most important phase of treatment is the initial phase. youve gotta stop the breathing, create an airway, and prevent additional injury. a simple kit for everyone to carry around on their person to be used on another person or even themselves is a basic combat trauma kit because think about it, in a SHTF situation, many wounds will be traumatic wonds similar to those received in a combat situation. bullet wounds, bone breaks, severe dehydration, sprains, the list goes on. but here is what we are required to carry overseas, it may be some help to someone here
tourniquet (1 in med kit and 1 on body armor)
saline lock kit
israeli wrap
pain killers
casualty card (has imformation of casualty from blood type to allergies, and a drawing of a man to draw injuries on for the medical personnel at the treatment center)
disinfecting wipes
medical tape
a couple extra things to keep handy in a situation like this:
sam splint
iv fluids if available
a lot of extra gauze
anti biotics
suture kits
and im sure im missing a lot of things. you can never be over prepared medically. always plan for any situation.

Clinique Soft Finish Makeup Reviews

Every Day MakeupI love this makeup. This provides even coverage without appearing overdone. I have worn this makeup since my 20s (I'm in my 40s now) from the advice of a dermatologist. I haven't stopped wearing it since. My only concern is that the color I wear seems unavailable at store counters. I recently ordered it online and it is also back ordered. Besides that I have been extremely happy with this brand. — 9 years, 9 months agoMonique1964 | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Powerful. . . . Twisty, brimming with dark humor and keen moral insight, The Weight of Heaven packs a wallop on both a literary and emotional level. . . . Umrigar . . . is a descriptive master. Christian Science Monitor
From Thrity Umrigar, bestselling author of The Space Between Us, comes The Weight of Heaven. In the rich tradition of the acclaimed works of Indian writers such as Rohinton Mistry, Akhil Sharma, Indra Sinha, and Jhumpa Lahiri, The Weight of Heaven is an emotionally charged story about unexpected death, unhealed wounds, and the price one father will pay to protect himself from pain and loss. Additionally, it offers unique perspectives, both Indian and American, on the fragmented nature of globalized India.
When Frank and Ellie Benton lose their only child, seven-year-old Benny, to a sudden illness, the perfect life they had built is shattered. Filled with wrenching memories, their Ann Arbor home becomes unbearable, and their marriage founders. Then an unexpected job half a world away in Girbaug, India, offers them an opportunity to start again. But Frank's befriending of Ramesh a bright, curious boy who quickly becomes the focus of his attentions will lead the grieving man down an ever-darkening path with stark repercussions.
A devastating look at cultural clashes and divides, Thrity Umrigar's The Weight of Heaven is a rare glimpse of a family and a country struggling under pressures beyond their control.
Thrity Umrigar s The Weight of Heaven straddles the United States and India as Frank and Ellie, a grieving American couple, relocate in the hope of healing the trauma of their only child's death. Frank takes a position managing a factory in a small Indian town, and at first the move seems like the right one. Ellie feels at home in her adopted country, helping out in the village, teaching school and counseling women. But the company that owns the factory has leased the village s trees from the Indian government and has prohibited the villagers from accessing what had been a source of medicine, shelter, and income for generations. Frank becomes the face of the company pillaging the village s land, and violence follows him. Seeking solace, he turns to his servants child, who he tries to shoehorn into the empty space left by his son's loss. Rather than a fresh start, India soon becomes just a different setting for Frank and Ellie to splinter apart. We follow their breakdown moment-by-moment, like a slow-motion death spiral. Umrigar does seem to pull up, finding a lighter note as Ellie befriends former investigative journalist Nandita. Their friendship provides welcome air for both Ellie and the reader, but by its last quarter, the novel has set its course for tragedy. The drama centered around the factory proves a distraction from the story of Ellie and Nandita who, after following a once-unquestionable path -- college, successful career, rewarding marriage -- are left with an emptiness in their lives that neither woman seems interested in filling. This delicate and far more compelling story is overrun by the tale of rage, obsession, and misery that dominates the rest of the novel. --Melissa Lion

ISLAMABAD- New notifications to sack at least 7 doctors and 34 contractual employees in the Pakistan Medical Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) have been announced. According to sources, 87 employees are about to be fired and without an extension of their contracts.
PIMS is withdrawing its contract policy. Those employees who were appointed in the place of their deceased relatives might also be removed if the contract policy is abolished. Earlier, more than 50 contractual employees have been sacked in the General Hospital in Chak Shahzad.
