Liposculpture is an alternative, minimally invasive form of liposuction pioneered in the late 20th century. Rather than using large incisions to remove fat from the body, liposculpture uses small suction mechanism to target specific fat deposits under the skin. The procedure is used to contour or fine tune areas of the body, rather than to completely resculpt it.
The theory behind this cosmetic procedure was postulated by Italian doctor Arpad Fischer in the 1970s. Early experiments were conducted over the next decade by a French doctor, Pierre Fournier. With the invention of the tumescent technique in the late 1980s by Dr. Jeffery Klein, the procedure gained popularity in Australia and spread throughout Europe and America.
The tumescent technique is a vital part of the liposculpting procedure. In this process, a saline-based local anesthetic is injected under the skin in the desired areas, causing the fat to swell and become higher in liquid content. Additionally, the saline solution numbs the area, removing the necessity of a general anesthetic, although some additional pain-killing or numbing drugs may be provided. The softened fat is then suctioned out through minimally invasive syringes or metal suction tubes called cannulae.
Liposculpting is recommended by proponents as a way to remove or mitigate fat deposits that will not go away, despite diet and exercise. These fat deposits are often a result of genetics, and can be difficult to get rid off without cosmetic surgery. However the procedure can only remove a limited amount of fat per session, so heavier patients may need more than one treatment. Liposculpture is not meant as a weight-loss surgery, as fat is light and the suction procedure may not remove more than a few ounces.
One of the reasons for liposculpture's popularity is that it is an outpatient procedure. Some doctors administer no pain-killing drugs other than the tumescent solution, and allow their patients to drive home after the procedure. Recovery time is usually only one or two days, with the patient being able to resume normal activity after this time. However, severity of the procedure and the prescribed medications vary from doctor to doctor. If you are planning to have liposculpture, follow your physician's orders.
Side effects from the procedure include localized swelling, bruising and pain in the targeted areas that will usually subside after a few days. Leakage of fluid from the injection sites is common during the first 48 hours, and some doctors provide plastic sheeting to place on your bed to prevent stains. Infection and allergic reaction are possible consequences of liposculpture, and any signs of these effects should be medically treated at once.
Liposculpture is not a foolproof method. Much of the result is based on the composition of fat in the patient's body. Some people with genetic predispositions towards highly fibrous fat may not experience much reduction in fat. Also, the ability of the skin to reform over the new contours varies from person to person. Skin sagging over the treated areas is possible, especially in older patients and those with low collagen levels.
As with any surgery, liposculpture should be thoroughly researched before you decide to try it. Consult with your personal physician before undergoing this or any procedure, and be sure to research the doctor performing the suction. Because this procedure is not considered plastic surgery, some doctors who offer it may not be licensed in cosmetic procedures.
Post 2
@ Ceptorbi - you're correct. Laser liposculpture offers a less invasive option since it needs smaller incisions and is done under a local anesthetic rather than general anesthesia. The laser heat liquefies the fat, making it easier to suction out. This technique results in less side effects like bruises. Also, the laser can target the fat more specifically than traditional liposuction methods and can reach places like the chin or neck that aren't accessible by other methods.
Post 1
It's my understanding that, due to post-surgical swelling, it may take a couple of weeks or even months to see the full liposculpture results. I've also heard that laser liposculpture is available now.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Getting a name taken off of a joint mortgage after a divorce?
I left my husband after irretrievable breakdown in June 2009, divorced (decree nisi) in September 2010. We have put in a change of parties application to our mortgage company which they refused - they won't accept his parents on the mortgage because they are too old I think they basically said - we have appealed, and re-appealed. The house is 150 miles away from myself and our children, and we live with my parents, my ex-husband rents it out and lives with his parents, and pays off the shortfall between the rent and the mortgage payment. We were in arrears when my children and I left (he had lost his job for the third time, and I had had enough) but since then he has pulled it out of arrears, and it has been kept up to date. I am a single parent, working a small part time job, and so wouldn't be any use if they 'chased' me for any money. I've told them this several times over. Does anyone have any ideas on what more I can do? It's a bit of a bind, as I'm not able to consider a mortgage with a new partner. My divorce solicitor told me there was no legal way of getting my name off of the mortgage, the company cannot be forced to do it. Oh, and there is negative equity in the property and so selling it is not an option. (Don't ask, I'm not telling on this one, because I don't need telling how stupid it is!!!) :) :) They do say you learn by mistakes, don't they.... Thanks

Mila Kunis Moves in with Ashton Kutcher
(LOS ANGELES) -- Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are moving their relationship forward by moving in together -- almost.
Kunis is believed to have temporarily moved some of her things into Kutcher's 9,000-square-foot Hollywood Hills mansion. According to Us, the Ted star has been staying with her Two and a Half Men boyfriend while her own home is being remodeled.
Kunis seems poised to make the move a permanent one. A source claims "Ashton's male roommate is moving out to make room for her." Another friend adds, "They really are perfect for each other."
The former That '70s Show co-stars have been inseparable since last spring. Despite the fact that Kutcher is still legally married to Demi Moore, the couple has been seen together in European destinations and at home.
"They were friends first, and then it switched to love," an insider tells Us. "That's a great foundation for a relationship."

Obama Lets the U.N. Tie His Hands on Syria
So why didn't the president feel obliged to seek Security Council authority for drone strikes against al Qaeda?
To retain power in the face of a popular revolt, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has killed nearly 15,000 civilians. From a humanitarian point of view, this is a crisis. From a national-interest point of view, it is an opportunity to undermine enemies of the United States in both Damascus and Tehran. But President Obama has treated the bloody turmoil, first and foremost, as an opportunity to strengthen the idea that America should subject itself to the United Nations Security Council.
In the 16 months since the revolt began,...

I blogged about Myrto Stamou way back in 2009 when she showed off her collection at Graduate Fashion Week, now she's an actual grown up and top notch, polished designer.
This is her A/W 11 collection, and it's just a little bit stunning. The fit of the leather skirts are absolutely perfect and paired with the drape of the softer, finer fabrics, the whole look makes one gorgeous outfit.

We first met with Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO at a Silver Summit in London a good few years ago and from that meeting we decided to watch the development of First Majestic Silver Corporation (FR:TSX || AG:NYSE) with the view to making an investment. As our interest grew we were fortunate enough to get an exclusive interview with Keith along with Todd Anthony, MBA, Investments Relationships Manager and Jill Arias, VP of Marketing. Following this interview we took the plunge and made our first purchase for a cost of $13.13, which was back in February 2011.
A few days ago we managed to catch up with Todd regarding the startup of Del Toro, this is what he had to say:
"We are excited to announce Del Toro's recent production startup and look forward to the next few quarters as the mine ramps up to it's full throughput rate of 4,000 tonnes per day. At this rate, Del Toro is expected to become First Majestic's largest mine producing approximately 6M ounces of silver per year.
Given the current weakness in the equity market, along with the added downward pressure resulting from the arbitrage trade from the Orko acquisition, investors now have an opportunistic window to look for an entry point into First Majestic as an investment vehicle for higher silver prices."
As we see it this is a very exciting milestone which has been achieved and it certainly bodes well for future production, turnover and profits.
The following is an excerpt from a recent AG news release:
Underground development within the three mines which comprise the Del Toro Silver Mine (San Juan, Perseverancia/San Nicolas and Dolores) has produced 97,700 tonnes of stockpiled ore which is currently supplying feed to the processing plant. Commercialization of the 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd) flotation circuit is anticipated by April 1, 2013. Further development in the first half of 2013 will be focused on preparing the mines for phase two of production, which will include the addition of a 1,000 tpd cyanidation circuit. Phase two start-up is expected by July 1, 2013, at which time, the mill is expected to be running at a combined throughput rate of 2,000 tpd (1,000 tpd flotation and 1,000 tpd cyanidation).
The Company also remains on schedule for the third and final phase of production (2,000 tpd flotation and 2,000 tpd cyanidation) by the third quarter of 2014 at which time Del Toro is expected to become the Company's largest operation and is projected to produce at an annualized rate of approximately 6 million ounces of silver per year, and significant amounts of lead and zinc.
It is well known that First Majestic is committed to building a senior silver producing mining company through an aggressive development and acquisition strategy so the production from these five mines of between 12.3 to 13.0 million ounces of silver equivalents or 11.1 to 11.7 million ounces of pure silver in 2013 looks to be in reach.
First Majestic Chart:
Taking a quick look at the chart we would draw your attention to the RSI, which has recently traded below the '30' level suggesting that this stock is oversold. We have highlighted the three occasions when this has happened and each time it has been followed by a rally to higher price levels. Technical indicators are far from perfect but this does suggest that a rally from here could be on the cards. This is something that the company also noted in a recent missive sent to us by Todd Anthony. Please note that you can also receive updates directly from AG, just go their Home Page and enter your email address.
Silver prices will remain rather volatile in our opinion, so do be prepared for the fortunes of AG to oscillate accordingly.
Trading Ideas
When considering an acquisition we try to find silver producers that we believe will prosper and grow based on their own ability, management skills and experience in this tiny sector. Having quality properties in a mining friendly jurisdiction, in this case Mexico is also very important. First Majestic now has a track record stretching back some 10 years which is commendable as there a great many new comers in the silver space who in our humble opinion have yet to prove themselves. A handful of these companies will be successful, but many of them will fall by the wayside so you really do need to do the work in terms of due diligence.
First Majestic Corporation has a market capitalization of $2.13 billion, a P/E ratio of 23.28, a 52 week trading range of $12.12 to $24.20, an EPS of $0.79, with an average volume of around 800 thousand shares traded per day. First Majestic trades in Toronto under the symbol of FR and on the NYSE under the symbol of AG, for European investors it also trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol of FMV. First Majestic closed recently on the NYSE at $18.47.
Take care.

Cisco Still Number One for Data Center Security
We were excited to read the Infonetics Data Center Security Strategies and Vendor Leadership: North American Enterprise Survey, which was released yesterday. It revealed Cisco's continued leadership in a market that spans a multitude of vendors – application/database, client, data center integration and network. The report indicates that leaders need to offer the right mix of products across the data center security and cloud arenas as well as demonstrate security efficacy and integration into adjacent markets. Cisco has continued to execute on a unified security portfolio spanning firewalls, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), gateways, and integrated threat intelligence further complemented by strategic partnerships. Seamless integration and shared security intelligence with routing and switching (Nexus and Catalyst) and converged infrastructure (Cisco UCS) enables our customers to benefit from optimized traffic links, the highest levels of security resilience, increased availability and scalability as well as lower costs of ownership. Per the report, "to say you're the leader in the data center/cloud security is to say you are an innovator who can tackle the biggest problems in IT security for the biggest and most demanding customers."
We'd like to highlight two areas that Cisco has continued to demonstrate an outright lead over other vendors. In the area of perception as the top data center security supplier, Cisco leads with 47 percent of votes compared to IBM with 38 percent and McAfee with 28 percent, who ranked second and third. Cisco scored between 40 to 60 percent of respondents' votes (covering 10 criteria) for being the leading data center security supplier with McAfee scoring 15 points below Cisco, HP received around 20 percent of votes, and Juniper and Trend with 15 percent.
Other notable findings include:
- Respondents spent an average of US$14.6M on security products for the data center in 2012, growing to US$16.9M in 2013 (a 16 percent increase).
- Seventy-nine percent of respondents indicated the most significant transformation affecting enterprise data centers today and driving the purchase of new security solutions is server virtualization, with the transition from private to public cloud, the need for performance and threat protection in an increasingly hostile landscape also ranking highly.
- Sixty-nine percent of respondents indicated that the need to gain access to high-speed network interfaces is a key purchase driver.
- More than half of the respondents plan to increase their spending in 10 different security technology areas over the next two years with antivirus/anti-malware topping the list.
The full Infonetics Report is available through subscription or through contacting Infonetics. It has some great criteria to keep in mind as you continue to make investments in data center security.

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search
Engine Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Kudos!
I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post's to be precisely what I'm looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
I wouldn't mind composing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome web site!
The Fenton's appear to have been bitten by the "family" bug. It happens to alot of family run businesses when the "Founding fathers" pass on. Too many family members involved for anything positive to happen. They will follow suit in the next 5 years unless they take drastic measures to restrict the decision making and wasting of company dollars used for building mansions for the children of the once thriving company President Dave Longaberger.
What about magic quadrant gartner results for 2012 ? Cisco appears to be a niche player in security, he cannot even be considered a competitor compared to the big inovators like Juniper, Check Point and the number one(according to the results) Palo Alto Networks ?
Riyas Vallikode
Cisco should be able to , as they are the master of networks and network security.

Top: Tree of Life
Shoes: H&M
Ring: Bought at markets
Bag: Rockmans
Top: Rockmans
Shoes: Rivers
Which outfit do you like the best? Let me know! I'd love to hear from you!
Oh my here we are experiencing the polar vortex. But summers in NY can be very hot and humid too so I can relate. Love all three looks and great bag too.
Allie of ALLIENYC
I can't imagine it ever being summer again here ... My favourite outfit is number three. I love the top and the yellows added by your necklace and sandals. Very cool outfit for a hot and humid day. xxxReplyDelete
I like all three outfits. Do I have to choose just one? I guess number three as I just love the yellow shoes. I have looked for ones that color but as yet haven't been able to find any so good on you for finding them!! The skirt certainly is versatile so I'm sure you will get lots of days to wear it no matter what the weather is like.ReplyDelete
I must confess I have been looking at your blog every time you post one but haven't always commented as a few times that I have the computer goes off line and I lose my comment. I am enjoying checking out your blogs and hope you continue to come up with different ideas. I also like that you have a new hobby checking out op-shops. You sometimes can fine some really good items.ReplyDelete
Oh that's a beautiful skirt! I like all the ways you've worn it, but the last is my favourite. that's such a nice printed top, and mustard and khaki is a combo I love. I've been meaning to wear my mustard top and khaki shorts together too, this post is a good reminder for me to do so!
Hope that you are having a nice start to your week and you had a good weekend! We had a quiet one here.

Summer Forecast: Sunny With a Chance of Ads
It's turning into a banner summer for old-fashioned, airborne advertising.
Even online daily-deals company LivingSocial chose not to rely solely on the Internet when it launched in San Francisco a new smartphone-app service two weeks ago: It took to the skies. The company, which is backed by America Online co-founder Steve Case, commissioned five planes to script "Dollar Lunch Day" in fluffy letters with exhaust vapor high above the city.
Twitter traffic showed the skywriting was seen by people across a wide swath of the San Francisco Bay area. "It had huge geographic impact," says company spokeswoman Maire Griffin.
Aerial advertising—which includes skywriting and banners towed by planes in view of waterfronts, festivals and outdoor sports arenas—is as much a totem of summer as flip-flops and sandcastles. It has been since it was first introduced to American skies nearly a century ago.
And even as we skip past commercials on television, in-the-air ads remain an attractive—and economical—medium for marketers.
"You can't fast-forward," says Andrew Miller, director of Destination Media Group, a company that specializes in out-of-home advertising.
This summer's hot, sunny weekend weather, particularly on the East Coast, is proving to be a boon, say plane owners and brand marketers.
Last weekend, Sony Pictures flew banner ads over the beaches of the Hamptons in New York, touting its big summer release, "The Smurfs," which opens Friday.
This particular movie was a perfect fit for over-the-beach advertising, says Marc Weinstock, president of world-wide theatrical marketing for Sony Pictures. The title is short, it is already a recognized brand that requires little explanation and the target audience is broad.
"Kids and their parents are on the beach and they look up and say, 'Oh! Smurfs!' " he says.
When Tequila Avión launched last year, the liquor brand advertised by hiring airplanes to fly banner ads over the beaches of Los Angeles and New York featuring slogans such as "TASTE ELEVATED."
The liquor company also hired a skywriter to create an Avión ad in the air above the Staples Center in Los Angeles where celebrities were arriving for the Grammy awards this past February.
Ken Austin, Avión founder and chairman, says the amount of chatter the ads generated on Facebook and Twitter convinced him to expand the ad plan into 15 markets this summer in Virginia, Illinois, Georgia and other areas.
If even half the people crowding onto waterfronts this summer look up when they hear the hum of planes pulling ads, he is reaching millions of people, he says. "I call them Avión air strikes," Mr. Austin says.
Skywriting involves small planes flying at an altitude of about 10,000 feet, expelling smoke that can be shaped into letters with pilot maneuvers. A typical message can take up 15 to 30 million square feet of air space, says Justin Jaye, owner of FlySigns.com, a national aerial-advertising company based in Los Angeles.
A visible message can remain readable for five minutes to an hour, depending on the weather.
Mr. Jaye says skywriting costs start at about $4,000.
Another sky-advertising option is a banner, often around 50 feet tall and 100 feet long, towed behind an airplane. Helicopters can pull bigger banners, up to 150 by 300 feet.
FlySigns charges companies about $500 an hour to tow the ads through the air behind a plane at about 45 to 60 miles an hour. A helicopter ad goes for $1,500 an hour.
At the 130-mile-long New Jersey coast, "on a nice summer day, we can hit about three million people for $1,500, and that's good bang for the buck," Mr. Jaye says.
Beers, beachside restaurants and bars, as well as summer movies and music radio stations—products that help celebrate summer—tend to benefit most from these ads, says Greg DiNoto, chief creative officer for Deutsch N.Y., a division of Interpublic Group of Cos.
In Medford, Ore., Rogue Federal Credit Union is trying out its wings. Last month, Rogue flew a helicopter-towed banner reading "Cruisin' 4 Great Rates" over a four-day speedster and historic-car festival. Jim DeBoer, a marketing coordinator, says Rogue spent $7,000 on aerial ads as well as $20,000 in radio and television ads to support the air campaign.
Since then, the company has made loans that will generate interest income of at least nine times what it spent on the ad campaign. "People were just standing on the street, looking up at the sky," Mr. DeBoer says.
Amanda Fleischman, a 23-year-old accountant, lives near the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago and spends many weekend hours on and near the beach.
Amid the celebrity magazines she likes to read and the beach volleyball she likes to watch, she tries to ignore the banners overhead. But she can't ignore the skywriting. "There is a curiosity to see what it's going to spell out," she says.

Talking about self-harm
This year's winning entry of Inspire a Generation was 'Talking about tough times' by Jack Reardon. It shows an example of the pain and frustration that can lead someone to self-harm.
We need to talk about it
It deals with the issue in a sensitive manner, but still conveys the seriousness of self-harming. This is the way we need to discuss it.
Self-harm can be a tough issue to approach, but when it comes down to it, it's just a human being, trying to find a way to cope with things.
What is it anyway?
Self-harming can be anything from cutting, pulling hair or scratching. It's anything that is inflicting injury on yourself.
People usually do it in secret, and it doesn't necessarily mean the person has suicidal thoughts or intentions.
Why do some people self-harm?
Self-harming is often used as a coping mechanism. For the person involved it can:
- provide a way to express difficult feelings
- give a feeling of being in control
- be a way of communicating to others that there's a problem.
Find something else to do
As with any issue, there's never going to be one fix for everyone. But, a commonly used method to help with self-harming is to find some other way of dealing with difficult emotions.
What can help:
- write your feelings down
- relaxation techniques
- listen to loud music on your headphones
- play a video game
- exercise.
Do talk
It's the main message in the film – reach out and talk. But, that's because it really is the best place to start.
It's not always easy, but confiding in somebody you trust can take some of the burden off your shoulders and make it easier to deal with things. This is also true if you're worried about a friend who may be struggling.

The most striking is Ieperfest's frank and refreshing communication. Tell it like it is – no nonsense. They have engrained and extensive ecological actions, including 100% vegan food, and this year the introduction of green camping where participants get composting toilets, showers with hot water from an eco pellet stove, and solar electricity amongst other green treats.
Ieperfest have shown that their social values stretch beyond their event, for example, by taking left over food to refugees in Calais.
100% Vegan Kitchen:
To quote a visitor: "Hey I understand Ieperfest is going for the green but why do you keep holding on to the fact that the kitchen still has to be all vegan?" Answer: "Sorry to say but I think you don't quite understand the fact about being veg-green." And if you still wonder, please go check the MTM to inform you about what you can do to change the world's environment on a daily basis by choosing what to eat or even better what NOT to eat. There's a lot to choose from. Make sure to check the FOOD section and see what's there to fill your tummy!
Organic products from local Farmers & Fairtrade Products::
We try to shorten the travel distance of the food that is offered to us all. Most of that food, let me say, as much as possible, is organic. At the bar and in the MTM (again) you can find loads of fairtrade drinks & vegan snacks, most of them are also very organic. We know most fairtrade products come a long way, but still, choosing for these products is in every way, and not only in the process of thinking, green. Fair prices for the farmers and people along the travel process is also recommended and worth choosing for.
Tap Water System:
You can't find any water in disposable plastic bottles at the fest. We use reusable bottles and tap water for the bands and shitworkers. Thanks to the Waterbar!
We also joined BOOMtown, a lovely festival in Ghent, Belgium, who constructed a new sustainable bar: the BOOMbar. This bar runs mostly on tap water. No soft drinks from a bottle, no, tapwater & syrups to sweeten you up. And there is more, the heat from the tap is used for warming water to do the dishes. The bar is really a beauty. Ieperfest supported this & this year we will have the bar up and running for business. For more info about this amazing innovative barsystem, go check http://www.boombar.be.
Reusable Plates and Trays
- Green plates/Blue trays: if you were on one of the (we lost count) last editions, you will recognize the lovely green, long-lasting hard plastic plates! So we don't have to tell you that they are being re-used. Just like other years we ask you to pay a warrant (ONE extra food coupon) when you get your food/plate. When you return your/a plate to our special 'RETURNPOINT'/'het afwaspunt' somewhere on the food court you will get a food coupon back. Sounds easy, right? The plates & trays will be washed with 100% biodegradable washing-up liquid. So we can use them again.
PLA Cups
Drinking cups: for quite some time now, we're going for fully biodegradable cups made out of corn or sugar beet! You can read 'PLA' on the bottom. And just like in the past we want to separate all the PLA cups from other trash! You can leave them in those red bins with "cups" written on them. All our cups will be either re-used again to make new bio-degradable cups or will be used for other purposes. Help us a hand (or two, or even more) and collect those cups! We're working together with Looplife Polymers, you can visit their website www.looplife-polymers.eu to see how it works. Please only CUPS in the cup bins! We need to be able to guarantee that the raw material we deliver at Looplife is free of by-products.
Organic Waste Disposal
Organic waste: this GREEN BIN just loves food… food, unprinted napkins & wooden cutlery only. Which means that the package where the food was wrapped in, doesn't belong in this bin! Even the food doesn't belong in it as long as it can still be eaten, and there is always somebody around who will eat it. Just ask around. And if you're lucky, you could score some food for free too!!

Selling surplus building materials, household items and other new or nearly new goods online is a way of raising funds for our charity.
We recycle unwanted items via eBay, with the proceeds being ploughed back into the charity to help fund our building programme and general operations.
Items donated to us that we've resold include tools, building materials and furniture, which had a monetary value but, for whatever reason, were not suitable for our build.
We've been able to 'recycle' them via the internet and turn them into much needed cash. We also welcome unsold or end of line stock from retailers and good quality household items from individuals.
Items should be easily transportable unless people are in a position to drop off large items at our Kingsley Road site in Liverpool.
As the operation grows we plan to utilise volunteers to categorise, clean up, repair and refurbish second hand items, including furniture.

The need
Children and families require more direct psycho-social services in many areas of the hospital where there are only part-time or no child life services at all.
Unfortunately, families in these areas are not receiving the full benefit of services aimed at providing age-appropriate preparation and education about illness and medical procedures. These services help ease children's fears and anxieties through therapeutic play and by encouraging expressive outlets to normalize and aid in coping with illness and treatment regimes.
How we help
The Child Life Fellowship Program addresses this need through an intensive year-long funded program designed to provide new child life professionals with advanced training and mentorship to enhance their knowledge and clinical skills, while also expanding services into these under-served areas.
Health Care Impact & Benefits
Fellowship recipients are provided the opportunity to collaborate within diverse and specialized health care teams to further advance knowledge, refine clinical skills, and progress from a novice to independent practitioner through mentorship, training and clinical supervision by a certified child life specialist. A full-time child life specialist may be able to move to an underserved or unserved area/unit to pilot and demonstrate the value of their services thus expanding and broadening their reach and impact.
As a result of the program, children and families will experience increased developmental and psychosocial support to aid with coping. The underserved areas now benefiting from the presence of a child life specialist appreciate their value and advocate for, and acquire funding, to maintain that level of service to benefit patients and families on a consistent basis.
Through the Child Life Fellowship Program, the health care system in Canada will continue to benefit overall from highly knowledgeable child life specialists with advanced knowledge and training in a number of clinical areas.

It was originally made as free advice for my daughters! I wanted to give it to Dave and Lisa for the wedding but it had to be in

Instant silk dying
At the Mancuso World Quilt and Textile show, Marlene Glickman shared how to dye silk scarves. Each of these scarves were done in less than 10 minutes in her booth. The best part is that the dyes were not messy! We did not even wear gloves while dying the scarves in a sandwich bag. She shared how to get the zebra stripe effect and the apprearance of squares just by how we folded the fabric. It was so much fun!

text: Hi All, Please excuse the spam... just trying to spread the word: Linaro is currently developing a graphics memory manager for Linux which allows buffers to be shared between different devices and different processes. On ARM SoCs, many different hw devices need to access the same buffer (which E.g. GEM doesn't support). As a simple example, a GPU needs to write to a buffer which a display controller reads from. At least in ARM-Linux land, this is a fairly hot-topic and a dedicated mailing list has been created to discuss different requirements, figure out if TTM/GEM can be adapted, etc. The mailing list is here: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-mm-sig There's also a wiki page gathering requirements here: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Projects/UnifiedMemoryManagement Hopefully there's people on the Wayland list which this will be interesting to. Would be cool if a Wayland compositor used the mechanism Linaro comes up with to share window buffers between different processes!

[trip style = active & adventure + sightseeing]
Yesterday we took a trip style = spa + weekend getaway to Harrison Hot Springs for a cozy and rejuvenating escape. Beyond the springs, travel down some of area's country roads to pick up award-winning cheese and fresh-roast coffee, or meander down the Harrison River to view t-h-o-u-s-a-n-d-s of bald eagles in their natural habitat.
Harrison's Secrets Sturgeon Fishing And Eagle Watching Huddled around a heater on a BC Sport Fishing Group jet boat, I asked owner Tony Nootebos if his 22-boat operation catered mainly to men. I assumed reeling in 5-11ft dinosaur-era sturgeons was the ultimate mancation---ok, it is. Turns out ladies like it too, accounting for 21% of his clients, some of whom come for stagettes. During the late-fall/winter grab the binocs and eagle watch! This year, over 400,000 salmon spawning drew in excess of 4000 eagles. It was a party! Know this: - BC Sport Fishing group uses a barbless hook to catch, tag and release sturgeon, working in concert with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. - Some boats are specialized for wheelchairs! - Open everyday but Christmas.
Farm Fresh Cheese When local cheesemaker Debra Amrein-Boyes of The Farm House Natural Cheeses was asked to send three cheeses to the White House as a gift to Obama, she obviously cleared her schedule. Within a 12-minute drive of Harrison, this family-run, working farm, makes cheese that pushes the boundaries of non-confrontational cheese with goat gouda, quark and 20+ other varieties. Know this: - Open Mon - Sat 10-5, Sun 1-5. Closed January, Easter Sunday, Dec. 25 & 26. - Buy in Vancouver at les amis du FROMAGE, Whole Foods and Save-On-Foods.
Fresh-Roast Coffee, And Pottery Learn what it's like to live and work off the land by a family of artisans. At The Back Porch, Lynda sells her recently spun pottery and Dan uses his circa 1919 flame roaster to churn farmer-friendly, organic and shade-grown beans. Roasted daily, far, far away from any Starbucks! Know this: - Open Wed - Sun 11 - 5. Closed December 25 to March 1.

End of the Beginning | Caroline Hamilton
Wow. Today (April 21st) was our last day of class at Link Year and I am so sad yet deeply appreciative of this time that I've had this year. This being the last day of class and nearing the end of our time here I just wanted to reflect and share a little about what God has been doing in my life these past 8 months.
When I came to Link I was callous, my heart was hardened to the gospel, and I was completely enveloped in a world of self-righteousness. Before I came to Link I assumed that when I got here I would be gaining biblical knowledge and perhaps growing in my relationship with the Lord in that, and I was excited for it. How did that affect me before I came to Link? I didn't read my bible on my own, I never prayed or really made any efforts to have a relationship with the Lord. I didn't feel conviction over my sin because none of my sin seemed "that bad". (Hint, pride comes before the fall). So coming into Link I really didn't think I needed it here, I just knew that I didn't know what I was supposed to do and that this is a good option to meet cool people and learn more about the Bible.
Oh my goodness did the Lord humble me. When I first came here I honestly took in all of the information and yet meditated on none of it and took none of it to heart. However a couple of months in I started to daily get into the word and begin to pray for the first time in my life. Months go by, around Christmas-time I saw the Lord begin to transform my heart. Daily I would ask for the Lord to soften my heart and give me one that desired him and desired to love his people. Praying Ezekiel 36:26, "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." and Psalm 51 was huge in my life and it was seriously insane to see how God has taken my hard heart and changed me. Where I used to ignore meeting new people because I didn't really care about them, now I love to make new relationships and hear how God is moving in others lives. Where I was formerly enslaved to living an apathetic life of mediocre Christian religion, I can now run towards the cross as a follower of Christ. Not being held back by the ways of the world but being armed with a greater knowledge of my faith, biblical community to support and challenge me in every way, and a desire to serve and follow the Lord for the rest of my life.
Link Year has been the most amazing experience and I can't ever describe fully how much the people here mean to me or how much of an impact they have had on me this year, but I know that the friendships made here have truly been sharpening and uplifting in every way and wow am I so thankful for it. Looking back, I know there are so many things that I could have done differently but I have no regret for it because I know that the Lord has been working in my life in so many ways and it all has led to the person I am today and will continue to grow to be. I'm so thankful for every person who has contributed to helping me grow this year and everyone who has supported me being here at Link. Y'all are amazing and I can't ever say thank you enough.

* Bombay Bling kicks off with a juicy fruit bouquet that has a refreshing, almost cold feel. The fruits are exotic with lychee, mango, black currant, and something citrus, perhaps lemon or verbena.
* Part of a trio of fragrances celebrating the history and traditions of India by Neela Vermeire and perfumer Bertrand Duchaufor, Bombay Bling draws inspirations from the joyous, celebratory feel of modern India.
* Imagine a pleasant version of menthol, a cold that is bracing but not overbrearing. This is the effect of the vivid and dimensional top notes.
* The fruits are joined by white floral heart notes. The listed notes are jasmine, tuberose, plumeria, gardenia, and ylang ylang, but I am not able point out which ones are actually there since it seems very blended.
* The florals recede a bit, but the fruity top notes act as a haze over the base notes of wood, patchouli, and a not too sweet vanilla.
Summary: Fruity floral fragrances are all over the place, but Bombay Bling stands out as one of the best ones that I have ever experienced. Not only is there a clear development, it feels incredibly rich and full without being too strong. I used the words 'vivid' and 'dimensional' to describe the top notes, but those words also describe the floral midnotes and the woody base. I found myself sniffing the scent nonstop while wearing it, because it feels like a three-dimensional fragrance. The inspiration of colorful, modern India is definitely clear throughout the development of the fragrance. Even though Bombay Bling is a fruity floral, guys could definitely wear it, and it's not too loud for an office fragrance. Longevity is excellent, with it lasting more than 12 hours on my skin.
Bombay Bling is available at Lucky Scent and the Neela Vermiere website.

Bombay Bling is my favorite perfume in the trio. I'm so glad it's getting a lot of love recently.
Ron Slomowicz says:
Thanks for your comment Undina.. BB is an absolutely wonderful fragrance – SO luscious and vibrant. It's hard to say that its my favorite because I really love Trayee also.. whenever I spray on Bombay Bling it just makes me feel happy.
[…] (Notable Scents) joins in with his commendations for the same perfume: Fruity floral fragrances are all over the place, but Bombay Bling stands out as one of the best ones… He also reviews the other two perfumes of the trio and offers a draw for a sample set. Just in case […]

Holiday Bridal Shower Crafts
I saw this great gallery for handmade holiday crafts at Country Living and thought it would be perfect for bridal showers (the ideas can easily be used for weddings too). The article discusses ideas for creative decorating, entertaining and gifting with tips on how to re-create them yourself. These ideas are also budget-friendly.
{clicking on the photo will bring up a larger version}
Some of my favorite ideas include:
1. white branches in pitchers with handmade ornaments {so simple, yet so elegant for a winter theme}
2. place cards that feature guests smiling faces instead of names {love this idea}
3. snowflake napkins {rubber stamp and acrylic paint, so easy}

The Forgotten Heroes of Pakistan Cricket
by, 19th May 2012 at 12:51 PM (1206 Views)
Let us switch back to our favorite sport, we all so very much love and adore –yes what else it can be other than cricket! There was once a common trend among teams, that they maintained faith and trust in their retired players on the basis of their significant and voluminous effort for their country, something that is fast dying out. I would not go into further details of discussion all and sundry but our own Pakistan Cricket Team and the PCB's dependence on foreign coaches.
This, certainly, is not the local and foreign coaches forum and neither am I going to discuss them yet all but sulk to the fact that Pakistan Cricket has, through the years produced some phenomenal cricketing geniuses who have, in their times, master minded some brilliant victories for Pakistan, yet they have been ignored for being allowed to limited or any part in the Pakistan Cricket affairs.
The name that tops this list is, off course, of Imran Khan. Please don't take me wrong, but I admire Khan sahab's cricketing skills more. I am a firm believer that had Imran Khan been appointed to the PCB ranks, or even held an honorary post in the PCB, Pakistan Cricket would have been a formidable force. His dashing, fearless and vehement approach to the game could have easily landed him the role of the PCB Chief. Mr.Nawaz Sharif, himself a cricket enthusiast and keen follower of the game, was Prime Minister around the time when Imran retired from the game and had he offered a prestigious post to Imran, could have done a world of good to cricket in Pakistan
Javed Miandad has had a love-hate relation on and off the field with Pakistan Cricket. Regarded as the greatest cricketing brain, not just by Pakistan, but world over, held office of the team's cricket coach, but fell out with the management on monetary as well as for player power issues. Here again the PCB ironically failed to handle the situation and never tried to create truce between Miandad and the players. Yet another great son of Pakistan wasted.
Wasim Akram, yet another cricketing genius, and quite a controversial figure for his off field ruckus during his cricketing career. Akram can undoubtedly be categorized in the same mould as that of his mentor Imran Khan and Javed Miandad. Akram, as captain of the team, wanted to follow the principals of Imran Khan of total command on the players but alas, the fatherly figure and respect that Imran Khan managed to cut out, was missing in Wasim Akram, which resulted in players revolting against Akram's behavior. All the same Akram geniuses could have been and still be materialized. But their strange stance on Akram has resulted in Akram, first doing a full time stint as a commentator for ESPN Star Sports and also a bowling coach to Kolkata Knight Riders, in the prestigious Indian Premier League. And who knows someday the Indians might just be tad lucky in signing him up for their national side to use his skills against the very country he has played for.
Saqlain Mushtaq, the "doosra" aadmi, as I call him, the inventor of the doosra delivery which is so frequently used in contemporary cricket these days also is another brilliant talent never summoned for national duty by the cricket authorities, he has, however, been used by England county Sussex and even had a brief stint as New Zealand bowling coach during 2009-10 season.
The list in painfully long as sheer talent is wasted without any regard to its worth and cricket freaks can all but fume on the constant ignorance for cricketing geniuses who could have made a difference to the game
There still is time, we need to impose faith in the abilities of these cricketing gurus, and in quick time too, because the national teams loss is another's gain..

10+ Insider Tips For A Better Bathroom Remodel/
10+ Tips To Make Your Bathroom Even Better.
1. Make sure there is adequate support under your new floor tile. Typically 1.5" is sufficient.
2. Have blocking installed in tub or shower walls for later installation of balance bars.
3. Install a simple timer on your exhaust fan and run it for 20 minutes after showering.
4. If you have stained wood in your bathroom, finish it with a polyurethane to block mildew growth.
5. Do not use a flat paint in a bathroom. Use a washable paint. Most paint brands have bath or kitchen specific paint.
6. Consider a second mirrored recessed medicine cabinet in addition to the one over the sink. This can be installed on another wall else where in the bathroom. You can specify an extra deep model for more room and can even order them with built-in electrical supply.
7. Roll out metal baskets in a vanity may provide more storage for less money then drawers.
8. Curved shower rods with a hook-less liner provides more elbow room and you can quickly remover the liner for washing when needed.
9. Hinged spray panels keep water in while providing ease of access to the tub.
10. If your toilet sweats, specify an insulated tank on your new toilet.
+. Invest your money to remodel your bathroom once. With the right materials and built for longevity, you will enjoy your new bathroom worry free for many years!

The selection of the beers was made, some weeks before the event with the intention of contrasting the styles on show and putting some local breweries head to head with some others from further afield with some fairly weighty reputations behind them.
The styles of beer were selected to give each brewery a chance to shine within 3 categories. The first up for tasting was a Pale style beer, be it English, American or Wit style, being lighter on hopping and lighter generally in alcohol compared to the following categories (so as not to cloud the attendee's palate too much). The second style of beer was the IPA category (for the uninitiated readers, this acronym usually means India Pale Ale or in some cases Imperial Pale Ale, the latter of which is noted for additional alcoholic strength). The final style was that of a stout or porter, with flavours ranging from coffee, toffee malts through to liquorice and some chocolate and vanilla in sweeter styles.
So, the line up of breweries and the beers they supplied (Pale, IPA, Stout respectively) were as follows:
Thornbridge (Bakewell, Derbyshire) – Wild Swan, Jaipur IPA and Beadecea's Well;
Mad Hatter Brewery (Toxteth, Liverpool) – Liverpool Wit, Follow the White Rabbit IPA and Fatter Stout;
Liverpool Organic Brewery (Kirkdale, Liverpool) – 24 Carat Gold, Shipwreck IPA and Kitty Wilkinson;
Meantime Brewery (Greenwich, London) – London Pale, Meantime IPA and London Stout;
Melwood Brewery (Knowsley, Merseyside) – Paleface, Equinox and Derby Stout.
The beers were all tasted by attendees in batches of 5 (in each category) before they were supplied with a rating of 1 to 5 for the respective placing. Each of the numbers in the ratings were added together and then the beer with the lowest score was placed first in the category, then the next lowest in second place and so forth. The overall brewery rating was then gained by the relative placing of the beers in first to fifth position, adding the numbers together again, with the overall lowest score being the winning brewery in this round.
Andrew Barlow (1st place)
Jason Peters (2nd Place)
Mark Toney (3rd Place)
Les O'Grady (4th Place)
Incidentally, Andrew and Jason both guessed 7 breweries correctly and Mark and Les guessed 6, so a tie-breaker was required in the form of guessing the month and year of Germany's Reinheitgetsbot, which split the winners accordingly.
So, which Breweries won then? Continue reading below for full details.
Pale Ale Category
1. Mad Hatter Brewery – Liverpool Wit
2. Thornbridge Brewery – Wild Swan
3. Meantime – London Pale Ale
4. Liverpool Organic Brewery – 24-Carat Gold
5. Melwood Brewery – Paleface
IPA Category
=1. Thornbridge Brewery – Jaipur IPA
=1. Liverpool Organic Brewery – Shipwreck IPA
3. Meantime Brewery – Meantime IPA
4. Melwood Brewery – Equinox
5. Mad Hatter Brewery – Follow the White Rabbit IPA
Stout or Porter Category
1. Meantime Brewery – London Stout
2. Mad Hatter Brewery – Fatter Stout
=3. Liverpool Organic Brewery – Kitty Wilkinson
=3. Thornbridge Brewery – Beadecea's Well
5. Melwood Brewery – Derby Stout
Overall Brewery Placing
1. Thornbridge Brewery – 6 points
2. Meantime Brewery – 7 points
=3. Liverpool Organic Brewery – 8 points
=3. Mad Hatter Brewery – 8 points
5. Melwood Brewery – 14 points
Although the scores seem stretched from top to bottom, the voting was quite tight in some places and all the beers received quite positive reviews; the Derby Stout in particular was particularly unlucky, just missing out on a lower score.
Anyway, congratulations and thanks to the Breweries for getting involved and helping out with glassware loans and providing a discount on the beers to keep the ticket costs as low as possible, many thanks to John and Julie at Melwood for jumping in with provision of additional beers for the event too. Thanks also go to Gaz and Sue at Mad Hatter for glassware loans, especially to Karen Reilly for organising the venue and Angela Mulligan for helping to keep the event running smoothly. Finally special thanks to all the people who attended to make the event a veritable success; I think I'll be hiring some elves to help run the event and keep things ticking along without having to run around with trays of beer!
Stay tuned for the next event folks, I shall be putting feelers out for breweries to get involved and will spread the news on my Twitter feed, Facebook page and via this blog.
Cheers and catch you all soon,
Pedro x

The people who work at Capital Group, Inc., not only have the knowledge and experience to help you pursue your financial goals, but also happen to be extremely nice people. Our team is always ready to address your concerns, answer your questions, eliminate your worries and put you at ease.
John J. Tauss CRPC®
John serves as a managing partner here at Capital Group, Inc., and has more than 20 years of industry experience. He is primarily responsible for overseeing the portfolio management and financial planning facets of our company. He is heavily engaged in market forecasting, manager selection, and due diligence of investment managers and products.
Prior to joining Capital Group, John served as a vice president with American Beacon Advisors where they were responsible for managing a major airline company pension along with distributing mutual funds in equity, fixed income, real estate, ETFs, and private equity to endowments, foundations, corporations, defined benefit plans, institutional investors, and advisors. Because of the stringent risk management and rigorous asset oversight the airline's pension was overfunded and consequently, it is the only U.S airline not to seek bankruptcy protection to date. This experience served as confirmation to him that it is people with a proven, disciplined process that allow for consistent performance. Like Warren Buffet and other great value managers, John believes in buying great companies at a discount, even cheaply, when others are fearful or the asset is out of favor, in order to potentially make solid returns while taking less risk than the market. His view is that the most important goal is to protect and preserve your capital. The second goal is to create and grow the assets in the most efficient risk-adjusted basis. Then, we will have the ability to focus on distributing the assets in the most tax-efficient way while we are alive and at death, through strong financial planning. Most institutions and endowments use between 30 percent and 60 percent of alternative asset classes in managing risk and performance. John uses a similar approach in managing portfolios. He also utilizes a quantitative and tactical approach in order to help reduce the herd mentality in losses and inversely strives to maximize profits when the market is running. John has gained invaluable experience through working at some of the largest financial companies in the world, such as Transamerica Capital, Prudential financial, Citigroup, and Hartford Financial, where he held vice president positions.
His educational and personal accomplishments have prepared John well for financial services. He has a BS in finance and a second major in accounting from Arizona State University. He is a Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM, designee, CRPC® and holds FINRA Series 7, 6, 63, and 65 securities registrations as an investment adviser representative of Commonwealth Financial Network®, member FINRA/SIPC. He was nominated to the National Honors Society, Phi Theta Kappa early in his college years. He also attended the Olympic training center and tried out for the Olympics in 1984. Although he did not qualify for the team, he set a national record during the preliminary tryouts. He was an Arizona State shooting champion for four years and competed at a national level all through high school. He was also one of the youngest shooters ever to shoot a perfect score at an NRA-sanctioned match at the young age of 13. He loves to golf, ski, and spend time with his family. He has five children with his wife Cindy, and they are very active with their education, activities, and community.

THE devastated parents of a "miracle baby" have spoken of the tragic loss of their "little hero".
Little Aaron Sawyer died at the age of just four months when his mum woke up to find him lying lifeless beside her in bed.
Aaron was born four weeks early in April suffering severe cerebral palsy, just hours after his mum, Rachel Gaskell, 28, suffered a fit caused by high blood pressure and fell down the stairs.
Rachel, of Slaidburn Drive, Accrington, was rushed into Blackburn Royal Infirmary before being transferred to Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn, where Aaron was born by emergency caesarean section, weighing just 5lbs 13ozs.
Rachel, who has four other children, Ben, three, Matthew, seven, Nicole, nine, and Lauren, 10, said: "All the way through my pregnancy I knew something was wrong. I was feeling dizzy and constantly over-tired and had no appetite to eat or drink.
"I had had four healthy pregnancies but this time it felt very different, but the scans didn't detect anything wrong."
Little Aaron underwent a number of tests and four weeks after he was born, medical staff told Rachel and her partner, Aaron's dad, Stuart Sawyer, 32, that he had cerebral palsy.
Stuart, a truck driver, said: "Aaron was our miracle as I had been told it was very unlikely that I would be able to have children, but he spent most of his life in and out of hospital. We could see his condition becoming more apparent as he grew. His movement was affected, he couldn't co-ordinate his arms and legs and his muscle tone was very rigid, but he had a good little appetite and was putting weight on well.
"He was on a lot of medication and was drowsy a lot of the time."
On Tuesday 2 August, Aaron was rushed to Queen's Park Hospital as he was suffering breathing difficulties and was turning blue. But he had a settled night, and nurses told his parents that he could go home.
Three days later Aarron was sickly throughout the day and wasn't settling, so Rachel wrapped him in his favourite blanket and he fell asleep on her chest.
She said: "Eventually I got him down in my bed, wrapped in his blanket and sleeping on his side. Ben always sneaks in my bed and on the Saturday morning I woke to hear him calling out Aaron's name.
"I then realised Aaron wasn't breathing, so I shook him to see if he would react and opened his eyelids. I ran downstairs with him and Stuart tried resuscitating him. The ambulancemen also tried resuscitation but Aaron died that morning in Blackburn Royal Infirmary."
Stuart said: "We have bought Aaron a star in the Perseus constellation, whose name means "the hero" because he was our little hero. It gives us a little comfort knowing he will be out there for all eternity and will outlive us all. I know my boy will always be up there."
Rachel added: "He had a very cheeky little face and a fantastic personality. He was also a nosey little thing."
An inquest into Aaron's death has been opened and adjourned.
The funeral took place on Thursday at a cemetery in Manchester.

If your flock is like mine they LOVE to gobble up dried mealworms. Recently I learned about Chubby Mealworms. I hadn't heard of them before so I was excited to learn about a new company. I think you can guess by their name what they sell…mealworms and other dried bugs, just up the chickens' alley! They graciously sent me a bunch of samples for the girls to try.
Tag / boredom buster
If you are like myself and my family, we love to supplement our flock's diet with goodies such as meal worms, scratch, seeds, yogurt and scraps from the kitchen. One treat that we love to share with the girls involves gorgeous green cabbage leaves.
Winter is almost here. In some areas of the country, snow has already begun to fall. I already am craving warmer weather and I bet my flock is too! During the winter, I try to keep them busy, happy and preoccupied with winter boredom busters. Chickens can easily get bored, especially with a few feet of snow on the ground. Unless I shovel out extensive pathways, they refrain from wandering. Bored chickens can easily get into mischief such as egg eating and feather picking.
|Looking good!
Oh my goodness, do chickens including my girls ever love looking at themselves in the mirror! Winter is still upon us and as we try to deal with the usual boredom during the final few weeks, I bring out all the stops. It was time, the chicken divas needed a mirror of their own. All it took was me discovering a hand held doll dress-up mirror at the craft store. It was a perfect size and made from shatterproof plastic. Making a shatterproof mirror for the chickens is important. Chickens will peck and can break the mirror if you are not careful. I gathered up a few more supplies at the craft store and headed home to make the chicken mirror.
