The Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced the comparison of Arizona's immigration law with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust during today's Los Angeles City Council debate on a city boycott of the state.
"The Wiesenthal Center along with many other Americans expressed our opposition to the language of the Arizona immigration bill but it is inappropriate and irresponsible to link the bill to the actions of Nazi Germany," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Center. "In a democracy, there is no need to demonize opponents, even when they are mistaken, to those whose actions led to history's most notorious crime," he added.
Immediately after AZ Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill into law two weeks ago, the Wiesenthal Center expressed its disappointment. "This isn't about immigration, it's about discrimination," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Wiesenthal Center. "We should not forget that we're a nation of immigrants. This law makes no sense-- it guarantees and stigmatizes people of color as second-class citizens and exposes them to intimidation and the use of racial profiling as a weapon of bias," he concluded.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe and the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino).

Some habits are hard to break. And one such habit of mine is to create new makeup looks every now and then, and since I have a blog now, I cannot help but share it with you guys! I know just "showing" you a makeup look & jotting down the products is rather a mean…

Baking soda (1-2 boxes)
Food Coloring
Shallow containers
Ice cube trays
Straws (optional)
Fill shallow containers (one per child) with about an inch or so of baking soda.
Pour vinegar into several wells of the ice cube tray, and add 1-2 drops of food coloring to each spot of vinegar. I used toothpicks to mix the vinegar and food coloring.
These are the droppers I found at Hobby Lobby near the candy making supplies (I used a 40% off coupon):
You can also find droppers in the pharmacy section at most stores.
We took our supplies outside to start the fun. The sun was too bright to get a good picture.
I followed the directions on the site where I got this idea, and I cut straws in half and stuck them in the baking soda.
However, the straws did nothing for us. They kept falling over, and they never gave a volcano effect. So, the kids just used their droppers to squirt colored vinegar onto the baking soda.
I had to give the kids a lesson on how to suck up the liquid with the droppers. Nora still needed a little help.
I enjoyed seeing the kids all in a row doing their activity.
I liked the colors in the baking soda:
It didn't take long for someone to accidentally get some baking soda in one of their wells of colored vinegar:
That led the kids to use their droppers and straws to transfer baking soda to their colored vinegar.
Nora ditched the tools and just used her hands to dump large quantities of baking soda into her vinegar.
And this was naturally the next step of this progression:
Nora's messy face:
And hands:
The end result:
My report:
This was not nearly as successful as the Magic Baking Soda Activity. I'm still happy because it was relatively cheap and easy, and it still entertained my kiddos for a bit. Plus it gave them a little freedom to experiment with mixing the colors and deciding how to combine the baking soda and vinegar. I still think we probably won't do this exact activity again, but I'm glad we tried it.

text: White Identity Author : Jared Taylor ISBN : 1920128107 Genre : Race awareness File Size : 84.14 MB Format : PDF, Kindle Download : 862 Read : 1232 Download eBook "In White Identity, Taylor systematically marshals the data to show that: People of all races pay lip service to the ideal of integration but generally prefer to remain apart. Study after scientific study suggests that racial identity is an inherent part of human nature. Diversity of race, language, religion, etc. is not a strength for America but a source of chronic tension and conflict. Non-whites--especially blacks and Hispanics but now even Asians--openly take pride in their race and put group interests ahead of those of the country as a whole. Only whites continue to believe that it is possible or even desirable to transcend race and try to make the United States a nation in which race does not matter. Taylor argues that America must reassess dated assumptions, and that we need policies based on a realistic understanding of race, not on fantasies. Most provocatively, Taylor argues that whites must exercise the same rights as other groups--that they must be unafraid of considering their own legitimate interests. He concludes by warning whites that if they do not defend their interests they will be marginalized by groups that do not hesitate to assert themselves, numerically and culturally. The culmination of 25 years of writing about race, immigration, and America's future, this is Jared Taylor's best and most complete statement of why it is vitally important for whites to defend their legitimate group interests"--Amazon.com.

If someone could please explain to me my obsession with bags, I'd be most appreciative.
I love bags. Not just handbags but luggage, tote bags, messenger bags — anything that enables me to carry along all the things I feel I may need in whatever situation I plan to be. I posted the other week about ordering a lumbar pack (click here to see the particular one I got. Mine is pink.) Well, it showed up this morning and I spent a good fifteen minutes checking it out, examining it, and, finally, experimentally putting various items in it to see if they fit and planning out exactly where everything would go when I actually use it. (Which, I should point out, is still TWO MONTHS off.)
It's an illness, I tell you.
The love of bags, for me, isn't even really about looks. I don't match them to my shoes or my outfits; I don't care about having designer ones, either. Sure, I want the ones I have to be attractive but it's more about function for me. You see, I'm unhealthily concerned with being prepared, at all times. I was a Boy Scout in a former life, I think. I would no more consider leaving the house (except to make a school run) without my purse full o' supplies than I would consider going out without clothing. You name an eventuality and I will probably have something in my purse to take care of it. The way I see it is, isn't it better to have, for example, plastic baggies in one's purse and not need them than to find oneself in a situation where it's just what you need but you don't have one?
It's not like I'm carrying around twelve pounds of lead buckshot or anything, either. All the things I pack along with me are small and lightweight. Take the drugs, for example. On any given day I have extra-strength Tylenol, Excedrin and Imodium AD in my purse, along with decongestant nasal spray. They take up very little room, weigh next to nothing, and, let's be honest here, would YOU want to find yourself in a situation where you could really, really use some Imodium AD and not be able to get any? I think not!
"So what does a weirdo like you do in the situations where toting an enormous handbag is not practical?" you may be asking. (Even if you weren't asking I'm going to tell you anyway.) Well, I do have the ability to scale down the production. Let's say we're going to be spending the day walking around some event. I have smaller purses of the type you can sling across your chest and one shoulder to be hands-free. Instead of an entire bottle of Tylenol, et. al., I take a few pills of each and put them in a baggie. I have travel brushes which fold up into almost nothing, rather than the full-sized brush I usually carry. I take a few pieces of gum out of the pack and take just those. You get the drift. This is what I will be doing with the lumbar pack when I use it at Abbey Road on the River. It also helps that the festival is on the actual grounds of the hotel, which means if I need something I don't have on hand it's just a matter of dashing up to the room to get it. Knowing that I have fairly easy access to the stuff I might need goes a long way toward making me less obsessive about having it on my actual person. It's just when I get in a place where I don't know what's available that I get a titch anxious.
I wonder what a psychologist would have to say about this particular hangup? I figure it must say something about me that one of the reasons I was so excited to get a conversion van was because it's got cupboards, honest-to-God cupboards in it, enabling me to really stock up on "may need" items for about any situation you could conjure. Perhaps it's my way of trying to bring order to chaos, which is a bit troubling. Either I'm neurotic, or I'm a Borg.

If someone could please explain to me my obsession with bags, I'd be most appreciative.

A subtle linguistic frisson
While in Lausanne for a project meeting, I saw the following scrawled in tiny caps in the grout between tiles in a men's room at EPFL.
I can read it, and in the heart of French-speaking Switzerland, that made me feel a little special. I learned at least some Dutch while in Belgium…Tweet

The concept of Web time refers to more than the passage of time; it is also a metaphor for the pace of change in our technical and business lives. We take on faith that Web time is progressing positively toward a grander future, a Hegelian leap of faith in which the coil of time winds tighter and tighter to spring us into a wondrous new world. Unfortunately, it is just as likely that Web time, if left to its own volition, is taking us to perdition.
It is up to us to catch up periodically and drive the changes to achieve a better world.
UniForum is changing. We are expanding our seminar program, we're putting our publications on the Web and we are broadening our base program to incorporate the whole range of open platform technologies--including Java, CORBA, ActiveX and the triad of Internet/intranet/extranet, as well as other platforms that have open interfaces for users to build applications on, whether on top of Unix, Windows NT, NetWare or other bases. You will see the entire spectrum at UniForum '97 next March in San Francisco.
Of course, the most notable change is that we are joining forces with The Open Group. We will bring to you, our individual members, a stronger, more versatile organization with a worldwide presence. Meanwhile, UniForum will bring to The Open Group the voice of you, the individual users and developers, and programs for education like our conferences, this magazine and, of course, UniForum '97.
While all these changes are good, we wanted to make sure that through them all we kept some things the same. So there will be no change to your membership benefits at UniForum, and your elected Board of Directors will still be driving UniForum's programs. Our employees will now be Open Group employees, but UniForum will be, for all intents and purposes, the same--only better.
Lastly, we are bringing a welcome change to the UniForum '97 trade show and conference. In addition to staging the Best of Usenix and the Best of UniForum in our preconference tutorials, we have for you 56 conference sessions on the latest trends in computing, networking and integrating heterogeneous solutions. The Open Group Research Institute will be holding its symposium at UniForum '97, and InfoTest (formerly NIIT) will be demonstrating there. The new NT users association, WANTUG, will also be meeting at UniForum '97.
We are also focusing the trade show floor on the issue of interoperability--not the "speeds and feeds" that you will find at Interop, but the interaction of applications within business and between businesses. We will be challenging the vendors to show us how to integrate our new NCs and ActiveX applets across an extranet, not to mention CORBA objects and data from the mines. Be there! We'll try to make sense out of Web time.
Tom Mace is executive director of the UniForum Association. He can be reached at email@example.com.

I suppose I can blame the ignorance of youth. When deciding when and if to have children, it was always based on my age, and where I would be in life. I didn't really factor in world events. As anyone who has children knows, your world view completely changes. I think about just how much change has happened in world in terms of social views, technology and I can't help but think just how much is going to happen between now and when James is 20, in 2037.
It hurts to write that, makes me feel old. More than anything, I want my child to be a happy, but I want him to be a good person. I think any parent really struggles with how to navigate being there for their children but without stifling them. So that they are free to make their own mistakes. I think it's going to be exceedingly difficult. I have a nurturing nature and stepping back and letting my child make mistakes, possibly fail and hopefully learn…well I get choked up thinking about it now. However it is so important that I let him do it on his own. I just have yet to reconcile how to do this, in a way that lets my child know, I'm there for them but I'm not their get out of jail free card. (I really hope that situation never come to fruition.)
Factor in, social media, cellphones, (Yes, I still call them cellphones!). It becomes more exceedingly difficult to allow them freedom of expression but ensuring that they are in fact doing the right things. Technology nowadays is developing so quickly, that at times, even I feel left behind. For example, my sister is 13 years younger and at times, the differences between us feel more than generational, it feels like several generations. My husband and I have talked about this, and the one thing I plan to do my best to instil in my child is that if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't put it on social media.
There is of course, the peer pressure. While privileged to grow up in Canada, we are a consumerist society and kids judge each other on the haves and have nots. This is another area, where I feel I will struggle. I grew up dirt poor. I've worked hard and gotten to a comfortable place and I feel blessed and grateful each and every day. But this instilled a deep need to provide my children with everything I did not have. However, not everything is necessary to provide for a child. (I'm talking about technology again.) I will have to stand firm and limit my child, for the greater good and that will be very hard for me to do, but very necessary.
Our world today is so polarized, in some respects, I think we're further apart then we've ever been. I'm sure every generation goes through this when they have children, trying to navigate a changing world from the one they knew. My world has changed from what I knew and now I must figure out how to shape and guide a human being to be his best possible self in a world going through so much change and upheaval. I picked an interesting time to have a kid, good luck to us both.

Police said a man was pistol-whipped, kidnapped and forced to rob a bank near Covington on Wednesday afternoon.
The alleged assault was at a Wells Fargo location at 11160 Ga. 142 North, Covington police spokesman Allan Seebaran told Channel 2 Action News.
The victim was able to alert bank employees, who were able to call police, Covington police Capt. Ken Malcom said in a Facebook post.
Police arrived to find the alleged victim and a suspect inside the bank, according to the post. Authorities also arrested two suspects outside the bank. The victim sustained minor injures.
"Thanks to the quick thinking of the victim, bank teller, and quick response by (Covington police) units, the three individuals involved were arrested," Malcom said.
Channel 2 reported the alleged victim knew one of the suspects taken into custody.
The case has been turned over to the Newton County Sheriff's Office since the bank is located outside Covington's city limits.

Someone who is physically active can have a lower risk of developing certain types of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Regularly doing weight-bearing exercises may also strengthen muscles and keep bones healthy, which could help to prevent injuries.
According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans at Health.gov, to get substantial health benefits, adults should do at least two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity, or an hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous intensity aerobic activity.
The Guidelines also advise that for further health benefits, adults should do muscle-strengthening activities, two or more days per week, that involve all major muscle groups.
Strength Training the Whole Body
To strength train all major muscle groups, it's not necessary to exercise every muscle, every day. Try splitting up the strength training sessions into separate days for upper or lower body training.
For example, train upper body muscles on Mondays and Thursdays, and then the lower body on Tuesdays and Fridays. Avoid working the same muscle groups two days in a row to prevent excess soreness, fatigue and injury. A good routine could consist of two or three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise.
Incorporate cardio training before strength-training sessions as a warm up. By doing just 30 to 40 minutes of vigorous cardio before starting resistance training, it's easy to achieve the recommended, weekly hour and 15 minutes over four training days.
Try Cardio Before a Strength Workout
Instead of running or biking outdoors, cardio machines at the gym allow someone to do the aerobic exercise they need with quick access to the weight training equipment.
Whether it's walking, jogging or running on the treadmill, cycling on a stationary bicycle or using a stair climber or elliptical machine; it will be a quick switch to resistance training so the muscles stay warm.
Begin with a slow, steady pace, then work up to a comfortable aerobic workout that is challenging but not exhausting. Use the "talk test" while exercising (talking to other gym-goers without gasping for air) to make sure you are working at a safe level. If you can't carry on a conversation comfortably, dial down the intensity and speed of the machine.
Working the Upper Body
Use free-weights, the appropriate strength training machines or a combination of the two, to target the shoulders, arms, chest, back and core.
It's a good idea to perform multi-joint exercises on upper body days, like bench press, shoulder press, rows and abdominal planks, to work whole groups of muscles. According to a 2016 article at ACEfitness.org, multi-joint exercises burn more calories and elevate the heart rate for cardiovascular benefit.
Of course there is nothing wrong with doing isolation movements like biceps curls and triceps extensions, but according to a 2013 article at ACEfitness.org, multi-joint movements will typically provide exercisers with more all-round fitness benefits.
Lower Body Strength Training
Lower body exercise is pretty basic, and will involve simple movements like squats, lunges, leg extensions, leg curls and calf raises.
Work the thighs, glutes and hips with lunges and squats. these movements can be done with machines, free-weights, a machine or simply with body weight as resistance. Either the calf machine or calf raises on the edge of a step will provide a good workout. Thighs and hamstrings can be worked using the leg extension and leg curl machines, that are available in almost any gym.

I've got to find a copy of this book: London Orbital (I. Sinclair). It's about a road trip around London's ring road, the M25. It's not yellow, but it does satisfy the people going round places (I'm assuming he's got things with him) category (see here).
This is not found in the book, but it does show the sizes of ring roads in large cities around the world. Could have been some fun with GIS; it's hard to tell here if someone used a nice transportation dataset or just drew the outlines. You could even modify it a little bit to make it physics-worthy (visible light spectrum fun.
Anyway, what we've learned—you can find interesting reads from random blogs. Yay, interwebs!

STTG Version 2.0 is Here with New $9.99 Unlimited Plan
July 2015 UPDATE: Trade Journal is now 100% free to use!
Today I am extremely pleased to announce that version 2.0 of our trade tools software is now officially live. Log your trades in the cloud, track your mistakes, test new strategies, and improve your trading.
I've been on a quest to conduct more meaningful post trade analysis since the beginning of last year. Version 1.0 – 1.6 was a good start, but it had some major drawbacks including being too complicated to use and offering too many options.
So we went back to the drawing board and rethought the process. Every user feedback was reviewed and we plotted our next move.
Many months later of planning and coding we have a solution which we are proudly marking as version 2.0:
- Brand new design. Simplicity, speed, and ease of use are now in focus. Adding, tagging, and analyzing trades has never been easier.
- Re-coded from the ground up. We cut out some 50% of the total code. Yes. 50%.
- Automatic trade import. Complete with 256 bit bank level encryption, you can now directly import your trades from your broker.
STTG V2.0 Tour
Take a walkthrough of the brand new version 2.0 with me below.
V2.0 New Pricing
Thanks to your feedback, we've ditched the tiered pricing structure and are happy to announce one new simplified plan. Unlimited everything – trades, imports, features, updates, etc – for just $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
Try Version 2.0 for 30 Days
No credit card required, just an email address and your name. I welcome you to try out version 2.0 right now, https://stocktradingtogo.com/analysis/.
PS – Big thanks to all our members (current and past!) who have provided feedback along the way. We wouldn't be where we are at today without you. STTG'rs rock.

In selecting their third first-round running back of this century, the Giants continued to show how they regard this position despite its marginalization over the past several years. Saquon Barkley is the odds-on favorite to win offensive rookie of the year.
However, the running back position produces annual mid- or late-round surprises — from Devonta Freeman to Jordan Howard to Kareem Hunt — that end up providing immense value to certain teams. The Giants obviously have an incredibly gifted ball-carrier set to take handoffs from Eli Manning, but which of Barkley's peers is in the best position to challenge him (and the quarterback contingent) for the OROY honor?
The other two first-round RBs look to be less equipped for a strong challenge due to circumstances.
Sony Michel's prospects of being an immediate ground producer may have been better on a different team. While the Patriots boast one of the NFL's best offensive lines, Bill Belichick notoriously finds myriad usages for his backs and involves nearly all of them. Although, Dion Lewis' departure after a 180-carry season opens the door for someone to take over as New England's primary back. And Michel averaged 7.9 yards per carry on 156 totes at Georgia last season. Rashaad Penny looks to be behind Chris Carson to start the season, and the surprise first-rounder may be given time to develop for a Seattle team that's struggled on the ground for a few years now.
After Round 1, however, it becomes a bit more interesting. The Buccaneers did not possess a formidable depth chart at running back prior to investing their second-round pick in USC's Ronald Jones. In 2017, Jones rushed for 1,550 yards and scored 20 total touchdowns. He could well be an early-season starter, with the likes of Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber in his path toward a first-string role. Chosen just before Jones, Nick Chubb will have to contend with Carlos Hyde in Cleveland this season for the revamped Browns. Chubb, though, notched three 1,000-yard seasons in the nation's toughest conference.
Kerryon Johnson looks to be set to start in a committee in Detroit, but the Lions have been desperate for a surefire ground producer for years now. And they view Johnson as a three-down back. LeGarrette Blount and Ameer Abdullah reside in the Motor City carries picture, but neither would impede Johnson from a major role if he proves ready from the outset. Derrius Guice could have a quicker path to playing time in Washington. Considered by some the second-best back in this draft, the LSU product fell largely because of character concerns. However, Guice averaged 7.6 yards per carry in 2016 on nearly 200 attempts and is expected to push for the Redskins' starting job from the start.
Also expected to challenge for an early role: the Broncos' Royce Freeman. The Oregon-developed talent posted three 1,300-plus-yard seasons with the Ducks, amassing a staggering 947 college carries. With the Broncos having moved on from four-year starter C.J. Anderson, only Devontae Booker (299 rushing yards last season) resides in the third-rounder's path. Is he a threat to be the 2018 version of Hunt?
As for Barkley, he has the most obvious route to a full-time gig. Despite Jonathan Stewart now being in the Big Apple, the Penn State dynamo will factor in from the start of the Giants' season. And the three-down back totaled at least 2,300 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back years for the Nittany Lions. The Giants have questions up front, having lost Justin Pugh and Weston Richburg, but they added multiple UFAs — spearheaded by Nate Solder — and chose likely Day 1 starter Will Hernandez in Round 2.
So, will Barkley's situation be too much for the rest of this class to overcome, a la Ezekiel Elliott? Or will one of the later-round picks emerge in Hunt fashion? Is there a Day 3 dark horse in this year's class in the mold of Freeman or Howard? Take PFR's latest poll and weigh in with your thoughts in the comments section!

Aziz has pioneered the use of a unique, masterly technique of creating 'three dimensional reliefs' on canvas. A combination of color, depth and granularity define this particular genre. The masterful blending of paint and oil-explained as a "suitable expression of my inner self" -is not confined to any set pattern, nor does it reside in any particular school of expression. Rather, Aziz's works and media used-watercolors, oils and charcoals-have a unique appeal that evolves of out of the amount of detail in them.
His work is generally executed on canvas. Plaster of Paris mixed with Zinc oxide is brought to required consistency and applied on pretreatd canvas. A knife is used to sculpt and work on the texture and consistency of the subject. The finished relief is painted with oil paints to bring about the profundity of a three dimensional effect. This technique is a blend of painting and sculpture which has been developed and mastered by Aziz.

Manipulating and layering the existing fabric of the Point neighborhood, utilizing blue street and green belts, to accommodate the water as opposed to retreating from it.
"Living with water" is a project proposal with an aim to preserve the 300-year- old Point Neighborhood from climate change. Bridge street, the lowest area in the neighborhood, already suffers from an insufficient storm drain increased inundation. The purpose of this proposal is to help people to accommodate to this situation as well as with the near and far future.
The project approaches these issues on two different scales, i.e. micro and macro. On a micro level our concept is to manipulate the existing fabric of the neighborhood, preserve the sense of scale and community and make sure the change they will go through is incremental over the next 100-year. Our intervention starts with digging a canal through Bridge Street to deal with the overflowing storm drain. And with time and necessity, we propose all the streets in the neighborhood to be converted into the same. As we go through years, we suggest the houses as well as the streets to be afloat on buoyant foundation and therefore rise gradually with the rise in water level. As you can imagine, a new layer of living would be hosted by these elevated houses and streets and they would be designed to integrate the new activities and modes of transportation for the community, which would hinge on water.
As for the macro level, we propose the edge of the Point to be transformed to high raised battlements for wave attenuation. In addition to that our aim is to help protect the shore line and to do that we are introducing our ecological barrier islands. This structure would not only break down wave action but would also help in providing habitat to the rich ecosystem of marine life.
The purpose of our project is to start a conversation amongst the people of the Point and show them a scenario into the future. It's to tell them how they need to act now to be able to preserve and protect their lives in the neighborhood for later.

Patient Reviews
Submit your review
I very much appreciated the frank consultation and recommendations Dr. Blake provided before I ultimately decided to move forward with a lower face/neck lift. He and his entire staff were very attentive, they listened carefully, and they took the time to explain different options and what I could expect from each. I got the impression that Dr. Blake truly enjoys what he does and likes to help people feel and look their best, so his advice is honest and meant to achieve that objective, not just to sell medical cosmetic services. Definitely recommend a visit if you are considering any type of procedures.
From the consultation to the doc and the all staff I had a great experience. Gabrielle was honest of what I needed and didn't need. She made me fell comfortable and explained everything to me. My results were amazing I had only two rounds done of BOTOX but the 1st 4 days after 1st shot I saw a difference and 3 weeks later almost full results. Had to stop due to new pregnancy. Still have results months after. It was quick and painless. The cost shocked me to great prices and great staff well worth it. Thank you for making me feel beautiful and confident.
WOW! I just would like everyone to know what an excellent plastic surgeon we have in the Milwaukee, Wi area. There is no need to go anywhere else because Dr. Blake is the best in his business. I had my breast implants removed after many years at the Clinic of Cosmetic Surgery. I had the surgery under local sedation because it is a relatively easy procedure. However, the right implant had formed an egg shell substance that stuck to the implant and my tissue. Yet, because of Dr. Blake's skilled hands and because he is extremely thorough all went well. I am so thankful Dr. Blake was the the Doctor I chose. He did an amazing job. Actually my real breast look pretty good for having implants for 30 years. (Thanks to Dr. Blake's experience and knowledge)
Also, I feel I need to tell you about his staff and office:
The entire experience from the beginning to the end was pleasant and simple. First of all, you walk into a very nice building/office. The receptionist are friendly and kind. They are aware that many people may be a bit nervous. Also, they are sensitive regarding the patients privacy. Many patients do not want everyone to know they are having plastic surgery or some type of treatment. They are respectful to your wishes. Dr. Blake's receptionist are smart and considerate.
Julie is the patient coordinator. She is an intelligent woman. She is all-encompassing. Julie tells you everything you need to know about the business side of the surgery, such as cost etc. She also organizes everything for you. So no worries, Julie is there for you in every way.
Hanna and Maria are Dr. Blake's Medical Assistants. I felt safe and confident in their care. They assisted in getting me ready for surgery. Without their reassuring calmness, I might have felt a bit more jittery. After the procedure they called daily to see how I was doing and if I had any questions.
Kelly and Sarah are Dr. Blake's Physician Assistants. They are also comforting and made the entire procedure relaxing. When Dr. Blake was removing the right implant (that had formed the egg shell) they assisted Dr. Blake efficiently and with ease. The egg shell made the removal more difficult. One of the nurses put an ice bag on my neck and forehead. In essence, I concentrated on the coolness of the ice pack and not the removal. Both women are capable and effective in what they do.
So that sums it up. Dr. Blake is the best along with his awesome staff. It is the only place to go if you want to look great.
I recently had a periareolar mastopexy (breast lift) preformed by Dr. Blake. The results are incredible and I'm so pleased I chose Clinic of Cosmetic Surgery. The staff is incredible and truly care about your well being, it's also a very nice facility and I will never chose to go anywhere else! Before my surgery the staff and Dr.Blake were very informing and answered every question I had about the procedure I was wanting. The care they have for their patients is ultimately why I chose to have my surgery done here. I have had no complications since my surgery and the staff called daily after to check up on me and make sure I was feeling alright and I had no concerns. I have never been so confident in my life and I am just so thankful I had my surgery preformed by Dr. Blake! There is no need to continue to live a life ashamed of your body when there are procedures out there to make you feel confident in yourself every time you look in the mirror. They also offer great payment options if someone was ever too worried about that.
Dr Blake is truly a gifted surgeon. The concerns that I had regarding healing , pain and not looking like myself were all addressed by Dr Blake and his staff. The procedure went smoothly and in 3 days I was off meds and out and about looking like Jackie O! Within two weeks I was wearing minimal makeup had very little pain and healing went quickly. The results were beyond my expectations!! I highly recommend Dr Blake! Unfortunately there isn't a place to show pics. I'm just SO happy!
Amazing experience. Kim is the absolute best. She is dedicated to getting her patients the best results. There have been times I read something random online and came in to ask for it but she steered me to a less expensive option because what I asked for wasn't what was going to get me the best results. She is friendly and personable. She sees all her patients are people with things they want to accomplish. Not as an appointment slot to be filled. I've never had a concern go unaddressed. I've seen great results. When I see a group on for something I want done I just ignore it. I'd rather have Kim, with her expertise and dedication to results than some special offer online.
For years after a sunburn I had been constantly trying multiple treatments to treat my melasma which had only been a patch on my cheek. After having my son it worsened to the point where I covered my entire face. I was incredibly embarrassed to be seen by anyone without any makeup to the point where it would take me 20 minutes to apply makeup so it wouldn't be as noticeable. By word of mouth I came across Dr. Blake and his staff, and I was so happy I did. I had been looking for someone who could treat melasma in ethnic skin. Dr Blake was knowledgeable and presented me with all my options after looking at my skin. He recommended the Melanage skin peel/treatment for me. It has been 3 weeks since treatment and my melasma is 80-85% gone and still improving. He did remind me that post care is equally as important as the peel itself and instructed me on the importance of sunscreen use. I cannot recommend Dr. Blake, Gabrielle (his esthetician) and his staff higher for their professionalism, customer service and quality of care.
I can't say enough good things about the Clinic of Cosmetic Surgery. I love the entire staff and always feel so welcomed during my visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Blake as he does excellent work. I would never look elsewhere as he is the best of the best! He is honest, knowledgable, and truly gifted in his skills, I am absolutely thrilled with his work!
Dr. Blake and his staff are nothing short of amazing! Dr. Blake recommends realistic solutions and delivers AMAZING results! You will never leave feeling disappointed. God has truly blessed this mans hands and his ability to make a woman feel beautiful!
If you are looking for an excellent plastic surgeon You need to go to Dr. Blake. Dr Blake removed my breast implants which I had for many years. They were hardened and one of them had an egg shell substance that formed around the implant! Eek! I did the surgery under local anesthetic. Dr Blake is very skilled, caring and thorough. Because of the "egg shell wrapped implant" it was not as easy as planned. Yet, Dr Blake's ability as a surgeon made the procedure comfortable for me in every way. With Dr Blake and his staff I felt safe. They are confident and professional. Dr Blake surrounds himself with employee's that are knowledgeable, smart and empathetic. I want to mention all of their names because of the awesome job that each, individually, did to help me. Julie his "patient coordinator" stayed on top of every detail. Hanna and Maria his "Medical assistants" were concerned and caring. They are dependable. They made me feel secure when I was in their care. They also called my home several times to see how I was doing. Sarah and Kelly his "physicians assistance" are talented in their skills. I was grateful to have them in surgery. Also the receptionist ,at the front desk , are friendly and helpful. (I wish I would have gone to Dr Blake and the Clinic of Cosmetic surgery when I first had the implants put in my body and again in 2000 when I had the implants redone because the originals leaked.) ( I just did not know about the Clinic at that time). I just want everyone to know that Dr Blake and his staff are the best in their business.

The Constituency Town Hall Amendment was introduced in Monday night's Student Government Association meeting. The aim of the legislation is to change the set-up of the SGA members' town hall meetings and hopefully encourage students to come out and voice their concerns more readily.
"The students of Seton Hall would be better served by holding two formal town hall meetings per semester as a joint body as opposed to those held in the past by individual senators on behalf of their separate constituencies," reads the text of the bill.
Essentially, while senators have been normally required to hold two town hall meetings for their particular constituency each semester, the bill would change this so that rather than having as many as 22 separate meetings (two for each of the 11 constituencies represented), two Senate-wide meetings would take place.
The bill will hopefully make the town hall meeting process easier for the SGA as well as for the students, many of which fit into several different constituencies and might have to attend several different meetings to discuss issues with their senators.
Students would not have to worry about bringing their problems to the right senators, as they would have access to all of them at these new meetings and would still be able to reach out to specific senators.
"A lot of the issues we talk about are community-wide issues," Sen. Jesse Beutell said. However "you can still connect to individual constituencies."
Many senators also believe having two larger meetings will increase generally low student turnout because they will be easier to advertise.
"It will be a lot easier to advertise for," Sen. Mike Urban said. He explained at the business constituency's meetings "the most students in attendance we had were two." This is also touched upon in the bill itself, where the text says the previous meetings "suffered from repetitively low levels of attendance by Seton Hall students."
The town hall meetings have been difficult for the SGA as well, as Sen. Dana Kappel reported only the senator representing the ROTC constituency held both of the meetings during the fall 2009 semester.
The bill was tabled until next week's meeting, when the senators will put it to a vote.
Faculty advisor Sarah Clifford brought up the committee that has been formed to help coordinate relief efforts for victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and said in addition to the committee there will be a week of events to support the effort, most likely the third week in February.
Village Liaisons member Kelsey Coolidge reported to the SGA that the group is also trying to combine Seton Hall initiatives to help Haiti with community efforts in South Orange. Additionally, Village Liaisons has a number of current projects including launch of the 'Blue Orange' blog and the upcoming off-campus living fair.
Also discussed at Monday's meeting were the upcoming elections for new SGA members as well as for next year's executive board. Interest meetings will be held the nights of Feb. 16-19. Any student who plans on running must attend one of these interest sessions.Time and room number have not been set yet.
Applications for senate seats are due on March 5, along with signed petition forms.
Candidates will campaign from March 13-29, and voting will take place on March 29 and 30.

Obscuro! Mixtape #11...'Spring in yo soul'
Another week, another mixtape. This one's in the theme of spring. I seem to listen to a lot of soul and funk around this time of year, mostly because it's so goddamn laid back. There's a lot more 'classics' than obscurities here, but that's alright. I don't think you can hear 'Little Child, Runnin' Wild' too many times in your life. Anyhow. Here it is, for your listening pleasure. Mixed together into one long 60-minute track, like the last few mixtapes.

The days of contract holdouts and tense negotiations ended with slotted numbers for draft picks. The Broncos, as such, are wasting little time in signing their draft class.
On Friday, they signed second-round pick and former Colorado State standout Ty Sambrailo, as well as their three seventh-round selections to four-year contracts.
Sambrailo, a 6-6, 311-pound former competitive skier, was a first-team All-Mountain West selection at CSU after starting 11 games at left tackle. He is slated to compete at right tackle for the Broncos.
Seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian (No. 250), an athletic quarterback out of Northwestern, is recovering from a torn left anterior cruciate ligament. He is five months removed from surgery and is easing back into a routine. He could begin the season on the injured reserve, if necessary.
Cornerback Taurean Nixon, selected at No. 251, brings 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash and special teams acumen. He excelled at covering slot receivers at Tulane under the direction of former Broncos cornerback and Green Wave defensive coordinator Lionel Washington.
Safety Josh Furman (No. 252) transferred from Michigan to Oklahoma State with one year of eligibility remaining. The move allowed him to showcase his coverage skills in a pass-happy league, earning him a draft status as a safety rather than linebacker.
Siemian, Nixon and Furman received identical contracts, worth $2.332 million, signing bonuses worth $52,783.
Third-round draft pick Jeff Heuerman has not signed, but will. Nothing has changed with his situation since the former Ohio State tight end tore his ACL during a special teams drill in the Broncos' rookie mini camp.

Turning Your Retrenchment into a Rewarding Journey
Newspaper headlines of late say it all: 2017 is going to be rough on the wallet. The recently announced Singapore Budget 2017 does soften the blow a little, with everything from personal income tax rebates to housing grants for married couples. However, for those who have recently lost their jobs, the cushioning from the Singapore Budget 2017 is just not quite enough.
In truth, retrenchment does not necessarily need to be the end of the road. It is still possible to maintain a happy lifestyle by, enjoying a part- or full-time as a Grab driver. Here's how:
1. Maximise Your Income
Driving Grab can be more lucrative than you think. On average, a Grab driver can expect to take in about $30 per hour during non-peak hours. Even better, driving during peak hours can bring in about $38 per hour. And since 63 hours out of every week is earmarked by Grab as peak hours, you as a driver will have more than enough opportunities to maximise your intake.
2. Incentives, Incentives and More Incentives
Being retrenched does not mean you have to cancel that family vacation. The best part about driving for Grab is that the more you drive, the more incentives you get.
3. More Support for the Family
There are more ways to support your family than being the sole breadwinner. Sometimes, it is also about being there for your family — even if you are out of a job for now. Being a Grab driver allows you to be flexible with your working hours.
For example, you can visit your parents if you are in their neighbourhood or pick your children up from school and take them for an afternoon playdate. Having the freedom to choose when to start or end work means that you have more time for those that matter the most.
4. Never Stop Learning
A full-time job offers you the chance to hone your skills, and develop new ones, every day. And that's just the case for Grab, too. With regular events like first-aid courses or educational days involving our drivers' kids, there's always a space to learn and grow at Grab.

With the KODO style trend, fuel-efficient Skyactiv maxims, sharp steering and handling, the Mazda CX-9 generally seems to symbolize sportier seven-seat crossover SUV on the market. But with sportiness, that design also delivers the level of luxurious which satisfies growing demands while also includes all contemporary connection and security features. The forthcoming variation of this common family car will not lose the concentrate on the mentioned functions but 2018 Mazda CX-9 may also shift the step forward.
Mazda isn't generous with information about the newest CX-9 and it will not be with the changes as that design was all-new for the 2016 design year. But, what might be the biggest change could be the supplement of the diesel motor like in the new-generation of the CX-5. Other updates can contain new shade alternatives, cut and security updates.
The current variation of the Mazda's seven-passenger SUV represents the finest appearance of the lovely KODO style language that will somewhat evolve in the newest CX-5 version. The brand new variation of CX-9's can get more KODO lines but will even share lots of style cues with the current model. But, the KODO adjustments where we will enjoy on the newest CX-5 will not be observed on the 2018 Mazda CX-9. That design is fairly new for that degree of changes and the 2019 design year might carry them. What, the newest SUVÂ must get is really a new shade selection that Mazda taking with the newest CX-5. With that, the CX-9 may also gain the newest pair of wheels although it shouldn't change the other aspects of their styling.
Inside, the newest Mazda CX-9 will not change significantly as well and it shouldn't since it already units the benchmark for the class with regards to quality and practical design. The splash of this design seems to have all things only in the best position and their controls may also be simple to use.
With the fantastic quality also comes the large comfort and entrance and heart strip guests will enjoy in loyal seats and enough space. On the other hand, the trunk many seats will not be therefore comfortable and the shipment space will not be the most effective in class as well.
But, Mazda may equip that design with the most recent technology and security advantages plus class estimated comfort features. The design may contain the most recent variation of Mazda's Join infotainment system with either 7- or 8- inch screen. Premium leather upholstery, energy and hot seats, cut highlights is likewise available in addition to the advanced security features. The design can get the most recent variation of the low-speed emergency braking, adaptive sail control, street departure warning, street keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, surround view, etc.
What's perhaps not the issue when it comes to powertrains, is the fact that the 2018 Mazda CX-9 will be a great to operate a vehicle as a result of the company handling and responsive energy steering. It can be distinct that the 2.5-liter inline-4 motor may again energy that design likely with the 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Again, it's perhaps not also the issue could Mazda provide the diesel motor selection like in the newest CX-5 nonetheless it isn't distinct when that motor will be available. It's probable that CX-9 diesel may appear for the 2018 design year nonetheless it may also come for the 2019 design year.
The diesel-powered CX-9 will provide large torque at a minimal rpm and greater gasoline economy. It is actually a 2.2-liter diesel motor that will energy the newest CX-5 with likely 173 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque.
The release day of the 2018 Mazda CX-9 is estimated in the 2nd half of that year. The price must start from around $34, 000.

I mentioned in the previous post that I'm currently writing a chapter for a book which analyses the English Early Years Education system. Since we're the only parents in the U.K. to our knowledge to have applied and been refused an exemption to the Early Years Foundation Stage learning and development requirements in a state-funded school I've got quite a lot to say about this issue as you can imagine! Stay tuned to this blog for more. Parents have until 30th. September to take part in the 'government consultation'. Parents, practitioners, childminders – if you wish to take part in the 'consultation' and tell the government what you think – follow the link at the end of this post.
And here is the official government line as embraced on YouTube:

What does it mean to be saved? Is salvation something you want or need? Whats in it for you? And, whats the catch?
My question for you is: what is it you most desire? Life, and life more abundantly, is that not so? Nothing else matters if we have no life.
Obviously, life is more than food and drink; life must also have a purpose or meaning.
Dont you want a long, healthy life, with prosperity and joy a life free from enslavement to fear and worry and a life filled with honor, courage, inner strength, satisfaction, and, above all, love? I have only touched on the good things an abundant life can bring. Feel free to add to my list.
What we have to do to get a long life, aside from whatever genes may provide, is exercise, eat right, and work hard, on the physical side. But our intellects, emotions and spirits must be exercised and fed, too. We are more than muscles and sinews, nerves and blood vessels. Our intellect thrives on knowledge and challenges; our emotions need fulfillment; and our spirits need love provided from Our Father in heaven. Our whole being gains satisfaction in life from helping and sharing with others (treating others as you wish to be treated) and having a relation with Our Father (loving Him with our whole being).
Then there are those who would prefer to wrest the abundant life from others by criminal means stealing, harming others, and murdering. These miscreants want a long prosperous life but at the expense of those who work hard and do good.

The in-game Inventory is an important part of the gameplay.
The Inventory is where the game items are stored.
At the top of the game screen is an area where the game items that are collected can be found. If the cursor is moved to the top of the screen the Inventory area will become visible. When visible the Inventory will show all of the current items that are being carried by a character.
There are two playable characters that can carry the Inventory items and each has their own Inventory. Josef the main character of the game has an Inventory that is used throughout the game. Josef's girlfriend Berta has her Inventory only in the Kitchen (level).
When Josef or Berta picks up an item, he or she will put the item in his or her mouth. The item will then appear in the Inventory at the top of the screen. If the player clicks on an item in the Inventory the player will be able to drag the item around the game screen. When the item is in the correct position where it needs to be used in-game the item will become bright. The character will then take the item out of his or her mouth and place it where it is needed.
Certain items need to be combined to create a new Item that can be used in the game. This is done by placing one item over another in the Inventory area at the top of the screen.
For a complete list of the items that can be collected see: Inventory Items

KTLA did its third installment on the kimkins saga and even discussed the pending class action lawsuit!
View the link here for the video-http://video.ktla.com/global/video/WorldNowASX.asp?playerType=native&os=mac&clipid1=1851883&at1=News&vt1=v&h1=10%2F18+%2D+Ktla+Exposes+%27Kimkins%27+Diet+Scammer&d1=150367&redirUrl=http://www.ktla.com&activePane=info&LaunchPageAdTag=homepage&playerVersion=7
Chip stated that the "KTLA viewers" found the Russian Brides and I find that a disappointment for a couple of reasons:
1) Many LCF members spent countless hours searching the sites and pulling together the information. I may have found only 4 or was it 5 pics….too many pics to recall, but anyway, I still spent many hours searching and keeping the blog updated on LCF. This is not to say I did more than others only an example, because I know many of the peeps there searched daily. So Chip a little let down there, but we will let you slide because you did break the story for others to hear about the Kimkins scam and that will help bring the harm and crimes done by Kimmer/Kimkins to light.
2) I think a really great opportunity was missed because wouldn't it have been great if Chip would have said, "The breaking news tonight in the Kimkins report is "the BuzzyBee" at LCF found "the Kimmer" in the red dress on the Behappy2day website!" I mean how many times in journalism would one get to say that phrase?!?! 🙂 It is almost like talking in some spy code during WorldWarII.
I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the members at LCF that helped the effort in various ways. WE are still searching for a few more and hope to find "patio chair Kimmer". I also want to thank LCF and Tom for allowing us to discuss this issue on the boards or we NEVER would have been able to pool all our efforts. They even downloaded the blog software so I could start a blog there to keep everyone up to date and to keep it organized and that is appreciated. THANK YOU!
Tomorrow- Should you call me Dr. HoneyBee?

The consequences of cavity creation on the folding landscape of a repeat protein depend upon context
Edited by Gerhard Hummer, Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and accepted by Editorial Board Member Angela M. Gronenborn July 16, 2018 (received for review April 28, 2018)

Extant protein sequences are the result of evolutionary pressure. Eliminating core packing interactions by mutation, regardless of position, generally results in similar perturbations to global stability. In contrast, we find that cavity creation has highly varied consequences for a protein folding landscape, depending upon the context in which the cavities are introduced. These observations have implications for interpreting evolutionary adaptation, as it is likely that proteins have evolved to exhibit optimal levels of conformational heterogeneity and dynamics. These results should also inform protein engineering efforts, as they provide insight into how sequence can modulate the population of functionally important excited states, as well as states that lead to secondary, undesirable reactions such as oligomerization, aggregation, surface activity, and phase separation.
The effect of introducing internal cavities on protein native structure and global stability has been well documented, but the consequences of these packing defects on folding free-energy landscapes have received less attention. We investigated the effects of cavity creation on the folding landscape of the leucine-rich repeat protein pp32 by high-pressure (HP) and urea-dependent NMR and high-pressure small-angle X-ray scattering (HPSAXS). Despite a modest global energetic perturbation, cavity creation in the N-terminal capping motif (N-cap) resulted in very strong deviation from two-state unfolding behavior. In contrast, introduction of a cavity in the most stable, C-terminal half of pp32 led to highly concerted unfolding, presumably because the decrease in stability by the mutations attenuated the N- to C-terminal stability gradient present in WT pp32. Interestingly, enlarging the central cavity of the protein led to the population under pressure of a distinct intermediate in which the N-cap and repeats 1–4 were nearly completely unfolded, while the fifth repeat and the C-terminal capping motif remained fully folded. Thus, despite modest effects on global stability, introducing internal cavities can have starkly distinct repercussions on the conformational landscape of a protein, depending on their structural and energetic context.
