|Arlington Heights, Ill. (November 17, 2006) – The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the two largest plastic surgery membership organizations, applaud the FDA's decision today to approve (manufacturer's) silicone breast implants and return these devices to the U.S. market. This decision comes 14 years after the FDA restricted access to the silicone implants because of safety concerns.
"This is a great day for American women and the plastic surgeons who care for them," said Roxanne Guy, MD, ASPS president. "Silicone breast implants have been scrutinized more than any medical device, and we applaud the FDA for making its well thought-out decision and allowing American women to make informed choices about their health care."
Today's FDA decision follows a lengthy process in which the agency sent "approvable with conditions" letters to the two silicone breast implant manufacturers in the second half of 2005. The approvable letter stipulated a number of conditions that the manufacturers needed to satisfy in order to receive FDA final approval to market and sell silicone breast implants in the United States. These letters came after an FDA advisory panel hearing in April 2005, in which the panel heard more than 20 hours of data presentations from the manufacturers and public comment.
"Plastic surgeons are committed to patient safety and education," said James Stuzin, MD, ASAPS president. "It is clear that the agency has carefully evaluated the data presented by the manufacturers, as well as the testimony of physicians, patients and advocacy groups and has made a thoughtful decision to give our patients the access to silicone gel breast implants that women in 60 countries around the world have."
The specialty of plastic surgery supports a woman's right to make informed personal choices about her health care based on all the available and accurate information about cosmetic plastic surgery, breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Cosmetic plastic surgery is serious surgery. It requires a complete medical consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who will fully inform a potential patient about the risks and benefits of surgery.
Approximately 300,000 women chose breast augmentation in 2005, according to ASAPS and ASPS statistics. Nearly 58,000 women had breast reconstruction in 2005, according to ASPS. Both breast augmentation and reconstruction have been proven in numerous studies to have psychological and physical benefits for women who choose these procedures.
The ASPS and ASAPS will continue to offer their assistance to the manufacturers for the conditions set forth by the FDA related to physician and patient education. One comprehensive example of this assistance is a joint Web site, breastimplantsafety.org , which offers objective and science based information regarding saline and silicone breast implants.

Colin Richards
Since 2005 I have been committed to my mission of teaching people how to achieve sensual intimacy, better communication and erotic fulfilment within relationships. I am passionate about this subject. My treatments and expertise are open and accessible to all. I work with men, women and couples from all ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations and ages.
Amongst my services, I …
- run interactive workshops on sex and sexuality.
- mentor single men, women and couples on how to improve intimacy and sexual performance.
- provide face to face or Skype mentoring.
- give sensual massage treatments to private clients as individual appointments.
The evolution of my career as a sex and relationship mentor
I have always been fascinated by human behaviour and the issues behind people's actions. My parents owned the Gara Rock Hotel, a 130-bed family hotel in Salcombe, South Devon, which I grew up in. From a young age, I interacted with a wide variety of people including guests, suppliers, parents and – observing the hotel industry – it was a little like Fawlty Towers on a larger scale. At the age of 22 I took over as Managing Director after my parents' retirement. I was well equipped for the role, having experienced all aspects of running the business. At various times up to my 42nd birthday as Managing Director, I took on multiple roles including day to day management, food and beverage buyer, HR for up to 40 staff, entertainment host, relief chef, barman, waiter, receptionist, and even in the closed winter months, plumber and decorator. In short, my interpersonal skills and ability to relate to people became second nature. I can now offer newcomers to Intimacy Matters a very warm welcome and put them at ease in this unfamiliar situation.
In 2002, I left the hospitality industry and tried to take on a conventional 9 to 5 job. I quickly discovered that working for someone else was not for me. I embarked on a field of study which has become a lifelong passion. I trained as a life coach and therapeutic masseur at The Association of Natural Medicine in Totnes, Devon and then undertook a 2-year training in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy at Regent's College in London. Further training included a certificated Imago Educator and foundation training in NLP and Hypnotherapy. Armed with my certificates, I was confident I could pursue a career which enabled me to help people and make use of my unique combination of innate skills.
I moved to London in 2005 and began working as a Sensual Massage Therapist and Sexual Performance and Relationship Mentor. I immediately became aware that a significant number of men and women needed discreet, practical support and guidance in their sex lives. These revelations led me to start up both Singles and Couples Therapy.
My business expanded rapidly, solely on the strength of recommendations by satisfied clients. Since 2001, 6000 men and women have used my services. Furthermore, the past decade has been extremely rewarding for me on a personal and professional level. In addition to providing high-quality services, I've gained profound insight and understanding about a range of psychosexual issues.
Several themes emerged: the complexities of creating intimacy, building fulfilling relationships and the impact of touch in our daily lives. I noticed that many of my clients were struggling with feeling isolated or frustrated. Others grappled with self-inflicted criticism, judgmental or ignorant attitudes cultivated in early childhood. I was touched by my clients' stories and wanted to find meaningful strategies to help them.
I decided that my approach to teaching alternative sexual education would have to be down to earth, straightforward and open. I am an educator, teacher and mentor on sexual issues. I've created a discreet and welcoming environment which affords people the opportunity to discuss their psychosexual concerns and also receive the practical tools to tap into their innate sensuality.
I'm a versatile trainer and teacher. My experience is based on anecdotal evidence, personal insights and academic study. I share my message across a variety of forums: as a massage therapist, a sex mentor or consultant, or when speaking at an event or leading a special interest workshop.
I live and work in my riverside apartment in Pimlico, Central London but I am also available to travel in the UK and abroad to see clients and run workshops.
I am the host for Intimacy Matters Presents, an event for members and guests which I have held at Home House and Century Club two of London's premier private members clubs in Marylebone and Soho.
I am also the appointed Sex Mentor for Adult Lifestyle Club, Killing Kittens.
I have been featured in national media, including the BBC World Service, Mail on Line, Cosmopolitan, Daily Mirror, I-News, The Times, The Independent and Reveal magazine.
I give regular public talks on topics related to sex and relationships, through the Funzing community.
My personal background
I have five adult children (two sons and three daughters) from my 17-year marriage. I am now in a long-term relationship with my female partner.
We're an outgoing and sociable couple who enjoy attending gatherings, talks, restaurants and the theatre. I am health conscious and maintain an active lifestyle by swimming regularly, playing tennis, squash as well as skiing.
In this 10-minute video interview (15/2/18) recorded for mental health resource charity website Head Talks Colin advocates that healthy physical and mental well-being must include a fulfilling sex life, where sexual satisfaction and sensual intimacy can flourish freely without judgement or cultural constraints.

Belated congratulations to your new appointment dear sir. With over thirty years experience in the force, you are as much a police insider as can be. You know all that ails the force first-hand: the solutions as well as the priorities.
However, Inspector, your kind of experience may be a blindfold. We humans tend to get numb to our problems over time. The only true consolation at the demise of a loved one, for instance, is the passage of time. Having worked in the force for three decades, you may no longer feel the force's inadequacies as sharply as a new recruit or an outsider observer. Police welfare is amongst the worst of any public employees. Your charges lack proper housing, personal protective equipment and proper health insurance in a long list of other basics. New entrants into the force find these inadequacies difficult to adapt to. Many of those who turn their guns against themselves or colleagues are police officers newly confronted by these difficult inconveniences.
With the passage of time, those who stay in long enough (like you have) numb and learn to cope. Corruption in your force is mostly driven by the need to meet these most basic of necessities: decent housing, transportation to work, family investments should one die in the line of duty and above all, a living wage.
As a senior officer, you have already taken care of these pressing needs at a personal level. Inadvertently or intentionally, you probably consider the process of adapting to these inadequacies as some unofficial mark of pedigree or rite of passage. That is why it will be vital that you seek out and listen to voices from outside as much as those from within. You may wish to consider the following four suggestions from an outsider whose only qualification for advising you is curious informal observation of other countries' forces and a burning love for Kenya. All the four are long-term proposals that will need inter-ministerial collaborations within government.
First, the process of joining the police force (and the other security forces) needs to change. It has been a long while since the colonial times when the White man lined us up to look at the completeness of our teeth or absence of scars as qualification to joining the forces. The society is more educated and crime is more sophisticated. We need not prevent our best students from joining the forces if they so choose. Why can we not advertise vacancies in the forces in the dailies and invite applications from all interested individuals who meet high physical and academic entry criteria? We can have a central admission committee that receives applications, prepares a shortlist and interviews applicants in an open fair process. Since competition is bound to be high, the interview can include oral presentations as well as written exams on contemporary general security issues, an aptitude test and targeted physical tests. Anyone who goes through this is not only passionate but also fit for service.
This new crop of officers will be beholden to their country rather than godfathers in the force. Obviously, they will need to be paid well, housed properly and well equipped for the job once they graduate from the police college. Not all will make it to Kiganjo, but those who do not will provide a better recruitment pool for the private security companies; many of which employ people who cannot grasp any of the security challenges of today's Kenya.
Second on the list are our police stations. Police stations across the country sit on some of the most prime real estate. Sadly though, these prime properties have been turned into junkyards. The police force loses threefold in the current setup: a poor image, loss of revenue for the free secure storage of junk and the opportunity cost of putting the land to a more economically productive use. Inspector, you can achieve value from these prime city plots by first decluttering all them of junk. It is the insurance companies' responsibility to store damaged vehicles as investigations continue. To preserve evidence, the police force can go digital. Employ the services and equipment of crime scene investigators who will archive the scene and relevant pieces of evidence on digital media and in forensic labs. The accident vehicles can then be towed to designated storage yards at the insurance companies' cost. Such vehicles may be released to their owners or insurance companies as soon as the police are satisfied they are of no evidence value or the cases settled.
After decluttering stations of junk, sir, you need to reconsider the citing of cells. To many Kenyans, the police station is an informal jail. This is because police temporary holding cells are an earshot away from the front service desk. Why not have cells off the police station, or at least in a separate isolated block away from the service desk? Take hospitals for instance, they keep the mortuary out of site of patients and other clients. A force that seeks to improve its relationship with the public must not only act friendly but also appear so. Most stations have enough land that can inventively be redesigned to make them places of refuge that they should be. Many are large enough to house high-rise police housing apartments, a school, a dispensary, a small playground for officers and their families and neat offices for serving the public. In many countries, a visit to the police station is similar to a visit to the bank or clinic on the next block down the street. No images of tonnes of rusting twisted junk, no sound of commotion from the cells next door, well-lit airy rooms, friendly officers and resting grounds. We need not fear ourselves, police or civilians as we both share a common spirit of a safe secure Kenya.
The third proposal touches on police roadblocks. Inspector, you have manned a roadblock at one point. You know what happens at these mostly illegal barriers. As a first act, please publish a list of all the gazetted roadblocks across the country and denounce all others. By empowering citizens with this information, you will have pulled the rug from under the feet of errant officers who spring roadblocks at their convenience. However, beyond publishing the legal roadblocks, you will need to creatively make sure that non-compliance to the law pains the offender and rewards the enforcer. Currently, it makes little sense for a scrupulous police officer who enforces the law to the letter and collects millions of funds in fines for the state yet their pay remains a pittance and working conditions an abuse. It is possible to sanitize corruption by making sure that a percentage of the fine collected will be due to the officer enforcing the law. This will directly reward officers who work diligently and progressively discourage petty offenses like speeding and carrying excess passengers. Needless to add, the police must be equipped accordingly with gadgets that will collect irrefutable evidence of all alleged crimes. Body cameras and radar guns are some of such equipment already in use elsewhere.
Finally, police welfare is sorely lacking in many areas. By virtue of their job, police officers put their lives on the line for the rest of us. Naturally, the government ought to take care of police officers and their families both during the officers' lives and upon their death in the line of duty. The ongoing police housing project is welcome but it is moving at snail pace. Many officers still live in squalid conditions. Police need their own schools, transport to work, dispensaries and convenience stores within their housing estates. With proper planning, vetted citizens can share some of these amenities (like schools and clinics) at a fee. It is possible to have souvenir and gift stores and police museums at major police stations: selling branded merchandise like t-shirts, key rings, umbrellas, mugs, caps, etc and telling the heroic tales and history of our police through artifacts, mementos, documentaries and lectures. This serves a dual purpose; it raises revenue for police welfare while blending the public and police together.
It is said that when you are the bottom, the only way to go is up. Our police force has so much to do to improve itself for the benefit its workers and the country at large. It begins with an understanding that police are currently working in less than humane conditions. These conditions have made our otherwise gallant officers easy target for bribery and mental conditions like suicide and depression to the detriment of the society in general. Inspector General, make it enviable and rewarding to serve in the Kenya Police Service.

Live in Color With Your Own Digital Printing Business
All across the US, one business which offers hard-working entrepreneurs the chance of success is a digital printing business. It does take a lot of work and effort to get right though , so before rushing into it, it is well worth understanding what makes it such an opportunity. You also need to check that you are right for it.
The reason why a digital printing business can prove so profitable and rewarding for Americans today is simply that there is great demand for the service across the country. The most important market to tap into is in the business world, with all kinds of print services needed by local, regional, state and countrywide companies on a constant basis.
For many companies, they will need posters and banners for store frontages, stalls and displays, for example. Office-based organizations will require a complete range of business stationery, from business cards and flyers to brochures and catalogs. Even local tradesmen will require business card printing services and signs from time to time.
Whilst the majority of trade will come from the local business community, and efforts to attract this type of work should take priority, individual consumers should also be serviced. Increasingly, people are interested in having personalized business cards of their own, whilst communities will always need to advertise events through posters and other displays.
Whichever customers are being looked after, though, the most important part of any successful digital printing business is delivering a high standard of customer service. An important part of service delivery is shown in the way customers are treated and how well advised they are with expertise and proven knowledge.
Developing such skills, particularly from the get go, can be difficult. This is most certainly the case with your regular start up business. For this reason, choosing to go down the franchised digital printing business route is highly attractive.
As well as providing all the initial training and support, the network of other franchisees can also prove invaluable to success. A franchise will also be in a far stronger position to provide the very latest technology to work with, as well as be skilled in the latest techniques to deliver a better quality of product, and thereby a better quality of service.
For the entrepreneur, working with a franchise set-up offers many other benefits too. Funding from banks and other lenders is easier to obtain, thanks to the proven business model and the fact that franchises have a high success rate. Risks are lower because of the training and network, but also because mistakes are less likely as they have all been factored in to the training.
For the right people, with the right attitude, a digital printing business in modern America is a great way to take control of your own life. It is the perfect solution for those who often say to themselves, "I want to be my own boss". You have this ability and a safety net of a support group and a recognized name. Playing a part in the economic recovery of your area and the country is also a plus, providing far more pride than a regular 9 to 5 job ever could.

Win a Babyliss Root Boost | Sponsored giveaway
NOW CLOSED. WINNER IS EMMA R. Congrats, Emma!
UNTIL LAST February I didn't give much thought to my hair. Loads of women care very deeply about their hair and dedicate hours a day styling it. Um, if I brushed, I was putting in an effort. My hair is straight as a rod, fine and I generally just whip it into a French twist. Often times it's faded with roots and scraggily ends. My hair was in such a state when I saw my lifeless mop on flim while doing a couple videos for a project. Wow. Did. It. Look. Bad. In true beauty nerd fashion, I promptly made a maintenance spreadsheet for mein looks. One of the line items? My mane. One of its biggest problems? It had as much life as a dead fish. Less, probably.
So thank good Babyliss launched a set of tools for lifting and adding volume instead of flattening (the majority of other ones!). Your hearts are aflutter just about now, right? Right? Big Hair (£45) is a barrel-brush-wand bit of magic that looks like it could take my fringe from limp to lucious. Root Boost (£30) finally finds an aesthetically pleasing way to use crimps -- micro crimp at the roots for body! GENIUS. And the Waving Wand (£30) will add a bit of that beachy texture too. Hallelujah. I can rotate heat with backcombing to add volume now.
Because these tools are so amazing, we're giving one away. Which one? The one that's really speaking my language -- the Root Boost. It would, without a doubt, radically change my aversion to doing my lank locks and bet it would do the same for the rest of you suffering from head-hugging hair.

Automotive systems have become extremely self-aware and, in many respects, intelligent. This is why diagnosing without a scan tool, especially on newer vehicles, is like dealing with an ER patient who can't respond to your request for feedback. Not only that, on today's vehicles, not using a scan tool can make it almost futile to attempt a diagnosis, much less a repair.
Most of us already know that a scan tool is the key to access a vehicle's on-board smarts. We also learn sooner or later that getting the most out of your scan tool, as powerful as it is, depends on your understanding of the vehicle system.
A challenge almost as great as mastering high-end "scan tooling" is figuring out which one is best for you in the first place. This is a common question posted in professional automotive forums, such as iATN's. The answers are different for everyone, but it is possible to devise some general purchase considerations. Let's start by defining some basic categories:
Code Readers. Code readers come in many flavors but do only that-they read codes. They're handy for quickly retrieving basic diagnostic information.
OBD I. These scanners work with pre-1996 vehicles (the good old days!). Every manufacturer had a different connector and connector location, differing communication parameters and unique verbiage and nomenclature. Some of these scanners can be upgraded to handle OBD II data.
OBD II Generic. Starting in 1996, all vehicles had to have a standardized diagnostic connector in a specific location. The basic information-parameter identification (PIDs)-were also standardized. So, OBD II allowed for a new-generation scanner that would work on all vehicles (1996 and newer) with a single connector.
OBD II Generic with Enhanced Data. This takes OBD II generic to the next level with the addition of manufacturer-specific PIDs and, in some cases, bidirectional controls. It also might include other PIDs and bidirectional controls for diagnosis of ABS, air bag, suspension and a/c systems, to name a few.
Factory Tool. For a particular make, the factory tool will offer the most capabilities. Usually you'll find it offers access to the highest number of PIDs, the most bidirectional controls and the greatest coverage of other vehicle systems.
Each category of scan tool obviously has unique applications, discussed in detail below. Interestingly, it was unanimous among all interviewed for this article that it may be necessary to own more than one tool, as no single tool is capable of doing it all.
OBD II Generic
If speed and efficiency are high on your needs list, then you might want to look at scanners in the OBD II generic category. For example, many power users prefer to start their diagnostics with an OBD II generic tool when dealing with '96 or newer vehicles. Many are plug-and-play-that is, there are no vehicle connection cables to choose from, no VIN characters to enter before you get your OBD II data. You can also clear codes and check monitors. This can save lots of time if your full-featured "power box" makes you jump through hoops to get started.
An engine control engineer from one of the Big 3 once told me, referring to his newly acquired Palm-based OBD II generic scan tool, "With this I can do 80% of my diagnostics in 10% of the time." It's plug-and-play and is small enough to fit in your pocket. Of course, he works on new vehicles, so he never has to deal with pre-OBD II vehicles.
The plug-and-plays (OBD II generic tools) also make a great complement to a busy "power box." No need to lose billable hours waiting for the power box to free up, and no need to purchase two power boxes, either. They're also ideal if you have a service writer who needs a scanner but isn't going to do any complicated diagnostics.
OBD II Enhanced
If you work on many types of vehicles, then a general-purpose scan tool may be your best bet. A good general-purpose scanner offers the greatest vehicle coverage. This is especially important if you have only a basic OBD II tool. What you can get is a mixture of enhanced PIDs, a number of bidirectional controls, graphing data, saving to a PC for record keeping and documentation, for example.
If you frequently find yourself involved in complicated diagnoses, then enhanced data is a must. Some tools offer coverage that others don't, and they all offer different levels of coverage for a particular make. For example, Vetronix' Mastertech is known for its great GM coverage.
One of the keys to getting the best general-purpose scan tool is to make a priority list of the vehicles you work on, then find the tools that offer the best coverage for those makes. The best way to learn about the tool is to use it. If this isn't possible, search iATN's archives for the information. This is especially important for OBD II enhanced scan tools because there are so many variables.
The coverage issue can be complex if you work on imports. Very likely you'll have to get more than one tool if you work on a mix of European and Asian models.
Most general-purpose scan tools have something unique about them. For example, Snap-on's Fast-Trac Troubleshooter is an add-on scanner cartridge that offers real-world fixes. OTC offers the Pathfinder cartridge, which provides OE-type reference data. Other platforms offer the ability to purchase OE software. For example, the Mastertech offers Toyota and the BDM Pro offers Subaru.
For unique diagnostic situations, consider vehicle data loggers or logging software. The EASE PC-based scanner offers both. Connect the data logger into the vehicle DLC and send the customer down the road. If a problem is very intermittent, the customer can drive the vehice until it occurs. When the problem does occur, press the button to set a flag, then play the data back on your PC.
Factory Tool
Fact is, even if you already have a general-purpose tool, at some point you might find the need to have a factory tool. All of the experts interviewed for this article agreed that if you specialize on a particular make, you should have both.
Many factory tools offer access to the controls and data of most vehicle systems, including powertrain, body and chassis. This can include ABS, transmission, air bag, suspension and a/c, to name a few. You can get some of this coverage in a generic tool, but it's not likely to be at the same level and detail. And, for the most difficult problems, a factory tool can be the key to a timely repair.
With good knowledge, you can often find workarounds to optimize your system analysis if the factory tool is beyond your budget. For example, you can use the OTC Monitor 4000 Enhanced to check the evap system on a GM vehicle. But to do so, you have to use a jumper wire, close the vent solenoid and use the scanner to command the purge solenoid to open while watching the tank pressure PID.
Power user Danny Iwama says that with the Vetronix Tech 2 factory tool, you can close the vent, command the purge and graph all that's happening at one time! And be forewarned: Some tests cannot be performed without the factory tool, yet the factory tool does not always ensure straightforward tests for all systems.
Iwama also pointed out the importance of good wiring diagrams and in-depth knowledge of system operation. In fact, what makes a scan tool so powerful is your knowledge! Training and good information, in my opinion, are more important than the scan tool itself. Jeff Elder, one of the masterminds behind Blue Streak's BDM Pro, also pointed out that if you get a factory tool, get the factory manual, too. You may need it for a full explanation of how to use the tool to its best advantage during diagnosis.
Hardware Considerations
The hardware platform might not be as important as the vehicle coverage, but it certainly is a consideration. Today's personal digital assistants (PDAs) and PCs offer an alternative to dedicated hardware.
PDAs. Personal digital assistants, those hand-held computers made popular by Palm and Compaq, not only can function as a scanner, but allow you to take advantage of many other software programs, such as contact managers. And they fit in your pocket! To learn more about PDAs, see the May issue of Motor.
PC-Based Scanners. PC-based scanner programs, such as those offered by Auto-Tap and EASE, can be run on laptop and desktop units. PC-based scanners have many applications and are ideal to use with dynos. If it can run on a PC, it can run on a laptop, which provides the convenience of portability.
Additional advantages of PC-based scanning are the recording capabilities and power features. For example, EASE offers a feature-rich program that's ideal for the power user. It offers many ways to display your data, recording capability limited only by hard drive space, professional reports and databasing.
Some dedicated-hardware tools offer software that, in effect, turns them into PC-based solutions. Vetronix has just released a powerful software package that itself is not a scan tool but connects the Mastertech to a PC, allowing for display and saving your data to that PC. Several other tools offer software of this type, as well.
Dedicated Hardware. The majority of scan tools on the market have proprietary hardware, so once you buy one, you're basically "locked in" to its original design. Before you buy a scanner that uses dedicated hardware, find out how old the platform is and how the tool is updated. Newer technology allows for updates via software and the Internet, as opposed to hardware replacement (memory chips or modules). Not only that, but the latest generation of scan tools-such as the Genisys and the just-introduced Snap-on MODIS-take advantage of PC connectivity and hardware add-ons with features such as USB, memory card slots and PCMCIA slots. MODIS is a Windows CE-based machine that combines lab scope, DMM, scanner and Troubleshooter capabilities.
What about the screen? Older units offer basic text-based screens. The number of parameters that can be displayed at one time might be limited by the original design. The newer tools offer graphing of at least one PID. Being able to see the history and trends of a parameter can be very useful for diagnosis. Snap-on recently introduced a new version of the most widely used scan tool-the MT2500. It's now called the MTG2500; the "G" stands for graphing, and it does it in color! The OTC Genisys also has a large color screen and a truly graphical user interface.
Several other dedicated-hardware scanners offer additional functions. Tools such as the BDM Pro and Mastertech include oscilloscope and DMM features. Even the NGS offers meter inputs, and you can view the scan data and meter data at the same time. This can be convenient when you need to quickly confirm the scanner data with a check at the circuit side of the PCM.
How much do you want to spend? Determining the cost of OBD II generic tools is fairly straightforward. But if you're getting into one of the power boxes, it can become more complicated. First, you have the cost of the box and the base software-usually engine control. For most shops, this will not be everything they'll need. So be sure to consider the cost of upgrades for body or ABS software or cartridges, for example. If you want to keep the capabilities of your new tool current, find out what the manufacturers charge for periodic updates.
As this article illustrates, diagnostic scanners are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and capabilities-all the way from entry-level to top-of-the-line. Think about your shop's approach to diagnosis and the range of vehicles you typically service, then consult the scanner chart included in this article. I'm sure you'll find a scanner (or scanners) that meets you shop's needs.

I agree that the computer is not a good thing to be looking at when you have new glasses!
Maybe more embroidery?

getting new glasses is always troublesome for me as well. i, too, have trifocals and luckily my eyes have stayed the same for awhile so no need for a new prescription.
that pocket is gorgeous. i just imagined a cloth made entirely of pockets. each pocket with a little story inside. might be nice for a little girl learning how to read.

Hi Karen,
Love that pocket. :)
Regarding the glasses, you might want to try a special pair of glasses just for the computer. I've had them for many years and it is worth every penny to have the extra pair. I get inexpensive frames and have single focus glasses made just for the distance between my eyeballs and the computer screen. Then there is no head tilting to get the right spot on the tri-focals. Gee, do I have those? Uh, yep, sure do. :)
So, Happy Sunday, and hi from Port Canaveral. It's such fun to be in a US port where I can get a connection with enough band width to come visiting. :)
All the best,

I'm picking up new multifocals next week, I;m dreading moving from reading glasses to the new ones! Beauitufl pocket. Have you considered making lists and PUTTING THEM IN POCKETS?

ah, lists. Can't live without them but the only way they work is if you remember to actually look at them. I need a list to remind me to look at the lists! Very elegant pocket!

Sister City Exchange Between Small Towns
by Toshihiro Menju
While working on "Revitalizing Regional Exchanges between the United States and Japan: Exploring new opportunities of Sister City Exchanges," a project cosponsored by the Japan Center for International Exchange and the Japan Foundation, I had the opportunity to visit Kanayama district in Gero city, Gifu Prefecture. Gero is a new town that was formed by the merging of five towns in March of this year. Kanayama, which enjoys a sister city relationship with Ketchikan in Alaska, was one of the towns that was merged to form Gero.
My visit to Kanayama happened to coincide with the visit of a group of junior high school students from Ketchikan, so I had the unique opportunity to observe their impressions of their host town. Kanayama and Ketchikan are both small towns with populations under 10,000 people. Each of the towns has one junior high school and four elementary schools, all of which are joined as sister schools to their international counterparts.
Every year, a group of junior high school students from Kanayama visits Ketchikan and a group from Ketchikan travels to Kanayama. Generally, almost all of the students from Kanayama who want to go to Ketchikan are able to participate in the program. About twenty junior high school students participate each year. Likewise, every year there are also about twenty junior high school students from Ketchikan who visit Kanayama even though they don�t receive any funding from the Ketchikan government. Generally, in sister city relationships, even in exchange between large cities, each city sends a delegation every other year. There are also many cases in which the Japanese side sends a delegation every year but the American side only sends one every other year.
In the case of Ketchikan, however, even though the participants have to pay their own way, there are about sixty people every year who apply to participate. Program organizers have to work hard to choose the approximately 20 participants. Why is it that a town like Ketchikan with fewer than 10,000 people is this enthusiastic about exchange with a small town in Japan?
One reason can be found in Alaska itself or the fact that Ketchikan is on an island. The people of Ketchikan, in one of the most remote regions of the United States, often refer to their own town as the "frontier." They are particularly outward looking, and the interest in travel, not just within the United States but also overseas, is incredibly high. It is not a particularly wealthy community, and it has a high percentage of people under the age of 18 and above the age of 40. Parents actively encourage their children to travel overseas as part of their education.
Aside from geographic reasons, another reason could be that there is an organization on the Ketchikan side, the Ketchikan-Kanayama Exchange Association, which manages the exchange. Selection of the students to travel to Kanayama is finalized about one year before the students depart for Japan. After they are chosen, the participants get together over the weekends to study Japanese culture. They also make and sell pizza in their community to raise a portion of the funds needed to cover their travel costs. The tradition of watching the Superbowl on television while eating pizza made by junior high school students getting ready to go to Kanayama has taken root in Ketchikan. The head of the delegation stressed that, since the children engage in a series of activities leading up to their trip to Japan, the most important impact is that even the more passive children grow into more proactive, confident children through their stay in Kanayama. Ketchikan's junior high school students learn how to take their shoes off upon entering homes, how to greet people in Japanese, and how to eat Japanese food properly. They also master Japanese etiquette. I was impressed that their etiquette was more refined than that of most Japanese students.
The attitude that people take on the Kanayama side in welcoming the students from Ketchikan is another key to the success of the program. The visit of the students from Ketchikan becomes the event of the year in Kanayama. Almost everyone in Kanayama knows about their visit. People are eager to talk with the students when they see them on the street. The students stay with host families the entire time that they are visiting Kanayama, and the host mothers refer to the children from Ketchikan as "my child." They receive a warm welcome into the families, as though they were a member of the families. Because of its visibility throughout the small community, the Kanayama-Ketchikan sister city relationship has helped to secure the roots of international exchange in regional society.
With the merging of the towns, however, Kanayama has become part of Gero City, bringing Japan to a turning point in its exchange between small towns. At the second meeting of the investigative committee on Revitalizing Regional Exchanges between the United States and Japan, scheduled to be convened in Gero City on June 28-29, we plan to share opinions with the new mayor on ways in which the impact of the exchange with Kanayama can be continued and further developed.

I'm going to be honest, this post barely contains a recipe. But, it does contain an idea. An idea that you should embrace, attempt, and then explore.
If anyone has trouble getting enough leafy greens in a day, this idea is for you.
If anyone has kids that wont touch a vegetable, this idea is for you.
If anyone gets a hankerin' for salty chips on a weekly basis, this idea is for you.
This idea is not new. In fact, a whole year ago I posted about it. It wasn't new then either. The idea is baking hardy leafy greens in the oven until you get chips. This time the star of the show was some collard greens. I have to admit that I had never purchased this leafy green before. However, when I saw the large bunch at the store, I knew what I wanted it for.
Collard Green Chips
1 large bunch of collard greens
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Remove tough inner stem of the leaves.
3. Break leaves up into smaller pieces.
4. Toss leaves in olive oil, until evenly coated, 'rubbing' the oil into the leaves.
5. Add garlic powder and chili powder and mix until evenly coated.
6. Place leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet. (note: do not layer the leaves or they will not cook consistently)
7. Baked in 425 degree F oven for ~10 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy.
I apologize for the iPhone quality picture, but I was too busy eating a whole bunch of collard greens to get my actual camera out. That is right, I ate a whole bunch of collard greens. I wasn't kidding when i said this is a great way to get your leafy greens in.
The best part is that you can season these however you like. I can imagine using a splash of balsamic, dill, cumin, curry powder (not all together of course), or whatever your heart desires! There is a lot of room for experimenting here. Just be sure to lay off the salt (I usually don't add any). The dehydrated greens actually taste a bit salty naturally!
Not only can you experiment with different seasonings, but you can also experiment with different greens, or other vegetables for that matter! I have only attempted kale and collard, but swiss chard, beets, sweet potatoes, carrots or turnip would also work (adjust oven temps and times accordingly). Fall is the perfect time to experiment because the hearty greens and root vegetables are definitely in season.
I would love to hear about any vegetable/seasoning combinations that turn out to be winners!

Spring into Science
Posted in Homespun Blog on Thursday, March 28, 2013
When the birds start chirping, the flowers start opening up their delicate faces towards the sun, and the snow begins to melt, you know spring is coming. Another sign of spring is science activities! Science does not always have to be a somber, excruciating experience. Instead, use spring as a springboard for activities and lessons:
Choose any springtime topic and see how you can integrate science ideas, lessons, or activities with the topic. Some science topics to study include:
• Plants.
• Birds.
• Butterflies. Take Alpha Omega Publications' Live Butterfly Garden elective to supplement a fun butterfly study.
• Fossils and records in rocks.
• Weather patterns.
• Global warming.
• Animal life cycles. Bring science to life with the Grow-a-Frog homeschool resource. Learners will observe a tadpole grow into a frog and study the science behind it.
• Erosion.
• Photosynthesis.
Use your own backyard or community park for a science lesson. Make your pond the classroom for the next couple of weeks as winter loses its tenacious hold on us. Identify what kind of creatures call the pond home and do a separate study on them. Examine the fresh, new animal tracks in the mud and learn how to classify the paw prints. Even though spring's return also means the appearance of many creepy-crawly insects, they can provide a science lesson for your homeschool day once you are aware of the prime bug projects that are at your fingertips.
Take the topics that students are learning in their weekly academics and create a separate activity or study of them. Topics like earth science and climate change from Alpha Omega Publications' 7th grade Monarch General Science 1 can mesh well with coordinated outdoor activities.
What spring science studies will you do this spring? What science topics would you add?

Lettuce wraps are great party food. I served these at my wife's birthday party last night and they were well received. Of all of the variations I have tried the Thai version in Robin Robertson's Vegan Planet (available from Amazon.com) are my favorite.
The ingredients are pictured above starting with cilantro at the top of the large plate. Moving clockwise we have minced shallots, minced serrano peppers (the Vegan Planet calls for Thai chiles), chopped peanuts, toasted coconut, minced lime (the whole lime), and minced ginger. The brown 'sauce' in the middle is a combination of peanuts, tamari soy sauce, toasted coconut, and brown sugar. These ingredients are boiled until thickened and then blended until smooth (I posted the recipe below.) The wrapper is butter lettuce.
The first time I served these I pre-wrapped them before the party started. I remember they were a little sour because I used too much lime in each one. This time I just put the ingredients out in small bowls and let people wrap their own. Some people skipped the hot peppers, others skipped the shallots. I think people enjoy putting their own food together.
Biting into one of these is amazing - all of those strong flavors hit you at once. The leftovers were gone by noon today. Here is the recipe for the sweet and salty sauce:
Lettuce wrap 'sauce' (more like a paste)
> 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
> 1/4 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
> 1/4 cup brown sugar
> 3 Tbsp tamari
> 1/3 cup water
Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
This is one of 400 great recipes from Robin Robertson's Vegan Planet. For other sample recipes see my chili and corn bread post.

Great to see these traditional pieces updated. You've done a fabulous job =0)ReplyDelete
creo que hiciste bien al aprovechar el buen precio, y has hecho un gran trabajo con la transformacion de ese muebleReplyDelete
That's the way I like.......:-)
Those look amazing!ReplyDelete
And I would love the leftovers! I have a few pieces I'm working on and those would be great to have.Replies
Hi Fiber! Shoot me an e-mail at: alamod (at) hotmail (dot) com with your address and I'll pop them in the mail.Delete
I love them! I could also use the leftovers I'm just getting started and don't have much yet. Though my dining room would disagree. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Wendy, I'm going to have some more left overs from another kit. If you want them, shoot me an e-mail at: alamod(at) hotmail (dot) com with your address and I'll send them to you.Delete
Very creative transformation! I love the textured drawer fronts. (Er ... how do you open the drawers, with no handles?)ReplyDeleteReplies
Good question! I just tilt them forward. It's not practical in real life, but OK for minis!Delete
I love the drawer fronts. No one would ever guess that those cool chests came from a traditional kit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! By the way, when are you going to have the big reveal?Delete
They look fabulous! I love HoM kits!!! :DReplyDelete
I'll never look at that chest of drawers the same way again. That's pretty impressive. I have a few Chippendale kits that I always mean to get at, but it's taking me "FOREVERS". Cool revamp. Definitely an improvement, but I'm bias.ReplyDelete
Very Clever! Great job.ReplyDelete
I like the transformation.ReplyDelete
Bye, Faby
Wow I never even knew that was posible with those kits i might need to look up on getting some myselfReplyDelete
I have a box full of those kits on the top shelf of a closet. I have no idea how I accumulated so many, but every time I look at them, I am never inspired. How clever of you to see the potential! I definitely will take down the box now.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Neen! I hope you do. I honestly thought I'd re-sell the ones I have, now I'm excited to make them into something cool. I know YOU can do that after seeing what you did with the dollar store finds for your deco house.Delete
Whoa!! Huge difference, no one would ever guess the "before". I love these kinds of makeovers! Good stuff!ReplyDelete
I bought a couple of those too, by that same time/offer. These are great suggestions, I love the new look!ReplyDelete
I knew I had seen that little one before we had one when I growing up http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/photo/vintage-retro-70s-schreiber-chest-of-drawersReplyDelete
nice job
This is a fantastic idea! I took advantage of the sale HBS was having on these as well and therefore have a cabinet filled with kits. This is a great way to update them!ReplyDelete
Clever Cyd! I love thinking outside the box and you did that this time my friend! Amazing makeover well done xxReplyDelete
Oh those are awesome! Yes, fab textures too.ReplyDelete
Oh how I love the new pieces! I envy your ability to see the modern within. Excellent work, high style ; )ReplyDelete
Love it! :) :)ReplyDelete
I have a whole set of very, very rustic dollhouse furniture. A kit by Greenleaf. I don't think I can do this to it but I'm going to try your techniques. Thx.ReplyDelete

From the '70s, kids would remember Kenner's Smash-Up Derby set, which had two toy cars flying into pieces when they crashed into each other. The good thing about that scenario is they could be joined back together in a snap. Vantage Robotics Snap is just like the smash-up derby of drones. The main body of the GPS drone quadcopter which has 4k camera-packing is joined to the folding propeller assembly by magnets which makes it impossible for it to incur any permanent damage should it come under any kind of impact.

The different construction of the Snap makes it very portable. The main body can be removed, then the props can be folded into a backpack. Also, while in transit or while flying, the prop guards do the job of protecting the propellers and help keep them from injuring bystanders. This very portable and easily assembled and equally easy to disassemble design makes it very suitable here. It also comes with some pretty amazing specifications, some of which are detailed below.
The 2-axis gimbal-stabilized camera shoots video at 4K/30fps via a Sony Exmor IMX 377 1/2.3-inch sensor (slow-motion options are available at 1080p and 720p resolutions), along with 12-MP stills. An onboard Micro SD card which is on board serves as storage for footage recorded. From the camera, real-time video is streamed to the user's mobile device at 720p, which let's them see what the drone sees. The Snap can be controlled by users in real time via an app on their iOS or Android smartphone/tablet. They can also instruct it independently to perform different preprogrammed movements or to track along with them by making use of the signal on their phones.
When the GPS guided drone is being remotely-controlled, it has a Wi-Fi range of 150 meters (492 ft) – that can be increased to 1,500 meters (4,921 ft), however, if an optional range extender is used. This makes for excellent range that can be adapted to suit a variety of specialized purposes.
The 500-gram (17.6-oz) quadcopter's is equipped with a strong 2,500-mAh, 11.1-volt lithium-polymer battery pack that is capable of giving 20 minutes of flight time per charge. Other capabilities include GPS tracker software, a Return-Home function, and an ultrasonic ground sensor. Updates in the future may include interchangeable modules that allow for obstacle avoidance, or unlimited range via cellular connectivity.
You can pre-order the Snap drone now for US$895 – the planned retail price is $1,295. You can see it in action in various videos.

It was a perfect start to my summer break to head home to OK, which welcomed me with the familiar arms of the Midwest heat. And what an occasion to make it home for . . . nothin' better than the wedding of an old friend! My kindergarten friend and college roommate, Julia, got married last weekend! I had the honor of being a bridesmaid and loved being a part of her special day. My dear friend looked just beautiful and it makes my heart smile to see her so happy. :) Another bonus: mbf, Mrs. Brown made it to town for the wedding! I wish I had a picture of the 3 of us from 1st grade when we all became friends, but I suppose this one from the wedding will have to do.
Blessed to have known these girls so long, and for many years to come!
The rest of my time in OK was spent just seeing all the people I love the most. When I headed back to MD, I brought along a couple of stragglers with me. Nick and his friend Mikey joined me and we spent a few days exploring DC. I can say that I spent my 24th birthday in Washington, D.C. I'll add it to the list of other places I've spent some birthdays: 17th-France, 18th-Cozumel (with Julia, actually), 24th-Washington, D.C. I'm sure there have been some other fun places along the way too, but I won't reminisce too much for now. Nick, Mikey and I walked our poor feet all over DC on Thursday and Friday, and managed to see so much! We made the monument tour and hit 4 of the Smithsonians. Unfortunately, we missed seeing the Obamas when we visited the White House, though.
The 2 best-lookin' boys in DC. Way to represent, OK, boys!
Of course, for my birthday dinner, we had Mexican! On the Border doesn't quite compare with Compadres or Lindo or some of the places from back home, but it will have to do for now.
Handsome husband... btw, anniversary is comin' up! How is that almost here already?
Since then, I have taken to spending my week attempting to be productive: working out, cooking, running errands, and watching Food Network and SVU! The usual trophy wife stuff. ;) Ha.
Another pastime . . . pinterest.com. I am officially addicted. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's a site where you can "pin" ideas and photos you find on the web and want to come back to later. You can pin anything . . . recipes, projects, fashion, quotes, anything at all! You should head on over there right this minute! Seriously. You have to be "invited" to join (not sure why, because you just request an invitation), and so if you want to join, send me a message or comment and I'll invite you! It's super fun, I can't lie. But you may end up spending [way] more time on it than you planned. Consider yourself warned. :)
And, that brings me to tonight. My sweet husband is out of town on business so I am making good use of my evening alone. Eating leftover stuffed portobella mushrooms (a new recipe I tried this week, absolutely delicious!) and currently watching The Sound of Music. This movie has been favorite of mine for so long (Mrs. B knows what I mean!) and I haven't watched it in forever! Dad always says, "Isn't that movie, like 5 hours long?" Nah, just 3. :) It's a good thing Brent isn't here to witness my quoting and singing of every line. Ooops. But it makes my heart happy.
"When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window." -Maria, The Sound of Music
What makes your heart happy?

Cardigan for Darcie part 2
This is the second little cardigan I have knitted for my cousins daughter Darcie. The pattern is called relish by Kim Hargreaves from a book called Rowan Babies. I used Patons FAB varigated yarn, I adore the colours. The pattern was easy to follow although the sticky out bits on the cuffs and bottom of the cardigan were time consuming. This is knitted in size 2-3 years, ready for Darcie when she gets a bit bigger. For more details see my ravelry page.

The Fascinating Difference Between Men's and Women's Beauty Habits
Women are widely typecast as the beauty-obsessed gender: Makeup and skincare are geared toward a female audience, beauty ads are laden with feminine imagery and graphics, and the industry is full of female employees. Because of this, there's a stigma surrounding women and physical appearance: We're the ones who care more about what we look like; we take the most time getting ready; we spend the most money on products.
But a new survey by Skinfo suggests that these stereotypes don't have a ton of merit. For starters, after interviewing 500 people, the skincare boutique found that on average, men and women spend the same amount of money on beauty products, and more men admit to wanting to use beauty products to impress others than women do. Are you surprised? Granted, this is a relatively small sample size, but nonetheless, the results weren't what we expected. Want to learn some other differences between men's and women's beauty habits? Keep scrolling!
Kimmie Perl
As mentioned previously (and as evidenced in the first graphic), 29% of the surveyed men say that they use beauty products to impress others, as compared to 17% of women. In terms of the office, very few men and women say that they use beauty products to appeal at work (less is more, right?). The rest of the surveyed individuals state other unlisted reasons for using products.
Moving on to the next graphic, it's apparent that men and women both have very similar reasons for using products overall (anti-aging and improving general skin texture and clarity ranked highly), though most of the surveyed men say that the number one reason they use products is to ameliorate dry hair.
How much time do you spend getting ready in the morning? Most days, I'll spritz on some Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo ($22), tousle my messy waves, put on some makeup, and run out the door—and apparently, I'm not alone. More than 50% of the respondents say that they spend less than 30 minutes per day getting ready. (But hey, if you can fit your entire routine—shower included—in a half-hour, I give you all the props in the world).
Beauty junkies like Kylie Jenner offer a, well, skewed perception of how much money women spend on products (*cough* her $1200 Sephora shopping spree). But according to the survey, only 6% of the respondents say that they spend over $100 per month, with almost half saying that they spend less than $25 per month.
Lastly, the survey asked respondents to rate their physical appearance on a scale of 1 to 10, and then compared said rating against the amount of time they spent getting ready in a week. First off, the average self-attractiveness rating for all respondents was only 5.6, and surprisingly, this rating had no correlation with how much time they spent getting ready. In other words, those respondents who spend almost no time getting ready rate themselves a 6.0, while those who spend 10 or more hours rate themselves a 5.6. This means those who don't focus on their beauty routine actually feel that they're essentially just as physically attractive as those who spend much more time on their looks. Interesting…
What do you think about the results of this survey? Do you fall within the parameters of the respondents' answers? Tell us below!

The Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene: Preliminary Enrollment Data From a Randomized Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Trial
Vogel VG, Costantino JP, Wickerham DL, Cronin WM, Wolmark N
Clinical Breast Cancer 3(2):153-159, June, 2002
Tamoxifen reduced the risk of invasive breast cancer by 49% among women at increased risk for breast cancer in the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial P-1, and raloxifene reduced breast cancer incidence by more than 70% in the Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation osteoporosis trial. These findings led the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project to design and launch the Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene. Risk-eligible women are = 35 years of age and postmenopausal; they have either lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) or a 5-year risk of invasive breast cancer of at least 1.67% as determined by the Gail model. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either tamoxifen 20 mg or raloxifene 60 mg daily. The trial opened for accrual on July 1, 1999. After 32 months of recruitment at 194 clinical centers in North America, risk assessments have been performed in 107,855 women (83.8% white, 9.4% black, 3.8% Hispanic, 3.1% other race/ethnic groups). Of the eligible patients, 12,637 have been randomized (20.9% of risk-eligible women); the median age is 58 years (mean, 58 years), and the median 5-year risk of breast cancer is 3.3% (mean, 4.0%). LCIS was reported in 8.4% of women prior to randomization. Gail model risk was = 3.0% in 5 years for 59.3% of white women, 45.0% of black women, and 44.5% of Hispanic women. The trial will recruit a total of 22,000 postmenopausal women and is powered to demonstrate superior efficacy of either agent or their equivalence in reducing the incidence of primary breast cancer.
