This has to be specified a little more: It is definitely possible to make symmetrical and asymmetrical subtractive crossovers of any desired order. In the "vicinity" of the crossover frequency they will always show a rolloff close to 1st order. And they definitely do have humps which are mathematically unavoidable for anything over 1st/1st order. These humps are higher for higer filter orders. They get smaller but broader for lower filter Qs involved. The trick is to use the lowest order that is possible/necessary for a given driver combination and/or situation. So they are best used with sturdy drivers that are well behaved past the intended crossover frequency. Regards Charles |

I had a vague memory from many years back that subtractive filtering had some major failings, but my understanding then was much poorer. However, Sreten & Phase accurate seem to have some (substantial) experience of this problem inherent in subtractive. Sreten said Quote:
that 4pole filters are also impossible? and how about 2pole L-R filters? Some more extended clarification would be appreciated. It appears that if one already knows the answers then the message buried in the replies is clear, but for us poor amateurs, that level of understanding is lacking and I'm afraid I could be reading too much between the lines and drawing incorrect conclusions.

So many threads to chase down. I'm going to pursue that now.

I want the subractive approach because it seems elegant. It should be flat summing. Where as the HP and LP method really is not, and then there is component tollerance on top of that.
But this is why I posted here. Does it work? It would seem that you use HP to get the upper range driver signal. Then you subract that from the original to get the lower range driver signal. If there is some component value error in the subraction, since it is the lower range driver, it does no harm. But does it work. Is home or commercial equipment made this way? All the books and online info I've ever seen and HP and LP. |

I don't know how you make symetrical slopes with subtractive crossovers, but Charles says it can be done. 4th-order for one side is possible, but the higher the order and/or the higher the Q the more pronounced the peak is on the opposite slope. You cannot make a Linkwitz-Riley crossover subtractive because by definition a Linkwitz-Riley crossover is two 4th-order matched filters with a specific phase response. The 2nd-order variant hold the same as well.

Hi Zen,
I bought and tried a BKelectronics subtractive crossover. It sounded terrible. I then tried to measure what it was doing. The slopes were unmatched but seemed to vary as well. There was a lot of feedthrough on some of the channels, i.e. the passband was not flat and was much wider than it should be, but of variable response. I then tried to reverse engineer the cicuit board and eventually convinced myself that the subtraction had been sent to the wrong place on the PCB. It appears the designer did not check his work or could not hear the errors. I dumped the PCB and kept the case & transformer. That was about 15 years ago, my first silly attempt at going active. BK, the last time I looked, still sold that subtractive but maybe by now they have sorted the errors.

A subtractive crossover is just one method to derive a pair of lowpass and highpass that sum to unity. You can achieve the same thing also with seperate filters for high- and lowpass. But this would be much more complex than the subtractive variant since it would result in the summing of different filter outputs and it would be less tolerant to component variations than the subtractive method. This latter part is elegantly solved by the subtractive solution. With separate filters it would be easier to take driver response into consideration however. The third method for buliding these crossovers - the familiy name of which is constant voltage crossovers as John already mentioned - is the use of state-variable filters whose outputs are summed accordingly.
Basically you use a funtion that is always 1. I.e. its numerator and nominator polynoms are the same. The order of the polynom is the sum of all output orders minus 1. You then split the function into two halves having both the same nominator. And that is where the humps come from whoch grow larger with increasing filter order. Though this is not very exotic from the mathematical point-of-view there are not that many sources showing this. I know only two personally. One is a recent paper by N. Thiele. The other one is this one, showing how it is done for a 2nd/2nd order symmetrical version implemented as state-variable filter (page 5): http://www.national.com/an/AN/AN-346.pdf#page=6 How the same is achieved with the subtractive method is shown here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...789#post292789 Regards Charles |

Without consulting my (couple of) references I'm going to stick my neck out and say the following, from what I remember : Whatever the order and shape of the main filter, the subtracted output roll-off is 6dB/octave away from the c/o region. The subtracted output tends to peak, the peak is bigger the higher the order and Q of the "normal" filter. So for 2nd order or > symmetrical filters are impossible, so no L/R. 4 pole main filters are certainly possible but the subtracted output is nothing like you'd imagine, looks like a peaking 1st order roll-off. (i.e. a 1st order roll-off + parametric peak at the c/o frequency.) Say you use a 2nd order subtractive filter for a sub, 2nd order L/R or Butterworth for the main filter @ 100Hz. The sattelite speakers would need to work well and with minimal phase shift down to 50Hz at least to get correct all pass crossover summing of outputs. I'd say the above is probably its only sensible use, when you want to add a sub to a pair of main speakers with substantial bass capability, and trying to get an all pass response. (I say trying because the mains rolloff and consequently phase response will probably scupper any real all pass capability, though for lowish Q 2nd order main filter, transient response will be good.) /sreten. |

The part about "the higher the order the higher the humps" is right. But it IS definitely possible to build these filters with whatever order one desires. But the higher the order the better the behaviour away from the crossover frequency at the cost of worse behaviour around the crossover frequency.

---A subtractive crossover is just one method to derive a pair of lowpass and highpass that sum to unity.--- I think the Phase-accurate's phrase above applies to the voltage domain at the output of the active filters. However, I apologise for criticising that it is not explicitly mentionned. Even not-beginners, me included, were or are very easily confused with that matter. Filters for loudspeakers have three different outputs, at least : in the voltage domain, in the forward acoustic pressure domain and in the total acoustic power domain. This is complicated by the amount of mutual radiation of the drivers, ie. the distance between them. Once all this is mastered, there is an easily forgotten fact : in the high pass section, there is an invisible additionnal filter which is the driver itself (medium or tweeter). It is a hi-pass device which has its own level and phase responses. That's why "ideal" crossovers (ie substractive) crossovers yield to results far away for ideal. I know a guy who proudly says he is using a square wave perfect crossover. He mixes the voltages of the signals at the output of his active circuit and gets the same perfect square waves on his scope at the output of his active circuit that they were at the input. He never replied to my questions about the acoustic response of his whole system... Zenmasterbrian ---I'm also interested in general issues for multi-amping, if you can make the power amp itself part of the active filter circuit.--- To avoid stability problems, there's a need for a high level input and just a unity gain power buffer. That's a good challenge for designers ! Pavel Macura designed one. |

BlackRock Solutions to Advise Government on RBS Breakup Review
Gavin FinchThe U.K. government hired BlackRock Inc. to assess the value of Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's assets as the Treasury reviews a potential break-up of the bailed out British lender.
BlackRock Solutions will work with Rothschild and Slaughter & May LLP to help the government decide whether it should split up Edinburgh-based RBS, the Treasury said in a statement today.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said last month he was "urgently" investigating the case for hiving off RBS's toxic assets into a bad bank because the lender is weighed down by too many toxic assets.
The government still owns 81 percent of the lender almost five years after giving it a 45.5 billion-pound ($68.8 billion) bailout, the costliest in banking history. RBS shares still trade below the level at which taxpayers would break even on their investment.
In its "swift" review the Treasury will particularly examine RBS's Ulster Bank and U.K. commercial property assets, Osborne said last month. The Chancellor said he will decide on the break-up in the autumn.

Upheaval is a 3rd-level Yellow Element in Chrono Cross. Upheavals are rare drops from Beeba. When cast, several rock spears thrust up from the ground and stab through the target for moderate Earth-type damage and sometimes, the Sprain status.
- Upheaval is a word used in Geology to refer to an instance of upheaving in the Earth's Crust, which matches the animation seen in-game.
- The spears of rock that protrude from the ground vaguely resemble Dreamstone, which may allude to that rocks method of formation.

I thought I'd see if anyone has a pair of shoes they LOVE to wear at Disney. I currently am wearing a pair or Merrell shoes and I really like them, hopefully they will keep the blisters at bay. Any great shoe tips?
Fit Flops! I don't even take tennis shoes anymore. I can just look at a pair of shoes and get blisters, but that has never happened with my FitFlops. I've also heard people recommend BodyGlide to prevent rubbing and blisters.
You may cringe as I say this... but seriously... Crocs. I never get blisters in them and they dry super quick. Ugly as sin, but super comfy. You can get them in flip flop style.
I always wear sandals. I don't like flip flops and crocs are just too horrible to even contemplate. Plus I'm not comfortable in shoes that feel like they might come off. I have a pair of leather strap sandals from Timberland that I really love. They're comfy, well ventilated, dry quickly, and never give me blisters, unlike sneakers. If you're feet and socks get wet in sneaks you're just out of luck..
I've read that Bodyglide is a MUST have for WDW. We've never bought it for our trips but are planning on doing so this time.
You are going to hear a bunch of different shoes, but will see the same ones such as Merrill, Teva, Keen and Crocs. We spent a fortune on new Merrills, Tevas and Keens and we hate all of them! We have been buying waterproof, toe covered shoes for years now as we go in July, so sweat, heat and rain are a big factors for us. Anyway, the shoes we bought were so uncomfortable - it doesn't matter what shoes feel like at home as nothing compares to the parks. Blisters are not a problem for us, but it's the fit and comfort that is. We also wore Crocs, but they are so slippery and unsafe, so we are done with them, not to mention that they are expensive. We always had multiple pairs so as to keep them from wearing down as easily, but they do anyway. We have done the best in running shoes, but the water can be a problem, but after spending a ton of money on new shoes each and every year, we are now back to running shoes and water/running shoe hybrids for the kids as these provide the most fit, comfort and safety for us in the parks. We love New Balance, so that is what we like to buy. We will alternate shoes, as this works best as well. Hubby and I feel that we have to wear our Merrills and Keens though as they cost us over $100.00 for each pair, so that is an expensive lesson we learned. Happy shoe shopping, Tiger
You guys might think this is odd but your socks REALLY make a tremendous difference with blisters. Our first few trips, I had great shoes...spent a fortune & a half on them @ REI & still had 3 blisters by the end of the 2nd day! I finally went to a place called Roadrunner Sports where they put you on a treadmill to see where your pressure points are on the bottoms of your feet. I bought a pack of 3 pairs of socks (that the salesperson recommended) that cost like $35! They were moisture-wicking socks & most sports stores carry them. Mine were the store brand. They were completely amazing! No blisters at all after 13 days! I am a big flip-flop person too & I ordered a pair of reef-slapper ones that have this metal thingie on the bottom for support - lifesavers, I tell ya! They were $40 too but I had happy feet which were priceless!!!!!
I love my Merrell Mary Jane, very cool, dry quickly and the first shoe that did not leave me with blisters after the first day yet still stylish. There are many different colors available now and I am up to three pair. Love them, wear them to work everyday also. I also take my Mickey Crocs to wear to and from the pool.
I just bought the best pair of sneakers. Asics GT2140. Very pricey 80 bucks with a 20 off coupon but sooo worth the money.
Absolutely the best shoe I've ever worn. $80 bucks well worth it. They are over a year old and don't look it at all. If anyone has high arches, this is the shoe to buy. They can get wet and dry pretty quickly (but bring another set of socks of course).
I get through the day comfortably in sneakers. Preferably Aasics sneakers. I also wear the moisture wicking socks and haven't had blisters over the past few trips. I've tried sandals, and flip flops once, and actually wound up limping by mid day. My DH and kids prefer broken-in sneakers.
I have a pair of Skechers sandals taht I love...no blisters but no arch support either. I also have worn Lands End Mary Jane Trekkers for the last several years, on all day trips to European cities, with tons of walking...they are awesome! I took the insoles out of a pair of Clarks Privo shoes and put them into the Lands End and it was even better...
I had to go look up fit flops because I had no idea what they were. I definitely think I need to try a pair of these!! A pp asked where to buy? I used the sites store locator and found Macy's carries them -- the other locations near me were local stores only.

Reflection: Shared Expectations Solving Multi-Step problems giving part to whole ratios - Section 3: Whole Group Discussion
It is so important that when you are giving your students the opportunity to practice MP 1 and 2 that you are monitoring student thinking. It is easy to get caught up in, ok they are working on a task for 10 to 20 minutes silently, let me get some odds and ends accomplished. In oder for MP 1 to be highly effective you must immerse yourself into their thinking by asking opened ended questions. "Why did you do that?" "How will that help you meet the goal of the task?" "What is the task asking you to do?" "What will be your first step?" etc. This will allow you to begin to see trends within the thought process of your individual students. You will get the true insight and inner workings of the child's brain. It is fascinating what you can do with the data you collect from the engagement with them during critical thinking moments. You will start to see who your strong learners are vs. your lower level thinkers. Not only will you be able to identify these students to group them appropriately, you will be able to understand why certain students answer the way that they do, what they are lacking, and what to do to build mastery. Please seek out the open ended example questions from my strategy folder, for those of you who may need a starter kit. Happy Engaging!
Solving Multi-Step problems giving part to whole ratios
Lesson 10 of 10
Objective: SWBAT solve multi-step problems given part to whole ratios.
Big Idea: Using MP 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 students will grapple through and solve rigorous multi-step real world problems given a part to whole ratio.
Pre-Lesson Teacher Guided Notes: This lesson affords students the opportunity to grapple through word problems that will assess students over their understanding of part to whole relationships. Students will need to have a strong background on identifying ratios. For students who have not been fully immersed in the Common Core, many of them may attempt to use a strategy that involves setting up a proportion and solving for the missing value. This is GREAT! During the bell ringer of this lesson, students will be asked to grapple with the problems on their own for 10 minutes first. This will allow students to truly exercise MP1. Learners with strong critical thinking skills will use a variety of strategies. Some students may recognize how to model the problem, some students may understand part to whole relationships and set up and solve equations that will arrive at the final answer. Students with some understanding will be able to recognize the ratio, recognize that there is a total that is represented with the ratio, however not know what to do to solve for the asking total. They will be able to set up a strategy, but not know what to do with the strategy. Students with little to no understanding will not know how to recognize the ratio, and not have a starting point. With these learners you will want to start with identifying the ratio, identifying the numeric value of the order of the ratio, and use the modeling strategy with them. I have found that using illustrations along with equations help students conceptualize what is happening in the problem. For those students who use the strategy of setting up a proportion, do not discourage this. Yes, the common core does ask for us to veer away from this, however this is a great starting point. Using the proportion, you can move into modeling what each part of the proportion represents. This will allow students to practice MP4.
Students who are not used to the Common Core, will struggle, give up, and shut down. The majority of my students are having a hard time working through problems, and thinking on their own. It is frustrating for them. They perceive me as a teacher who just simply does not want to help them. I have to consistently refer back to MP 1. I empower them by motivating them with constant praise. I use words like, "You are not giving yourself enough credit, you are so much smarter than what you are showing.", "You do not need me as much as you think you do, I trust in you, all I need you to do is trust in yourself."
Bell Ringer
Hand students the Bell Ringer as they enter the room. For this bell ringer, students will work on problems, 1 and 3. Problems 2 and 4 will be their homework.
Students will sit in their Individual Think Time seats and begin right away using MP1, MP2, and MP6 to grapple through two problems. Allow students 10 minutes for I.T.T. Students will need to write their thinking strategies in their interactive notebooks. They will use this to share during pair up time. Walk the room to check for understanding.
Once students have worked individually for 10 minutes, have students discuss their work with their pair up partners. Students should have 10 minutes to discuss their thinking and compare their responses. Students should be able to guide one another through the process of solving each of these problems. This will put into practice MP3.
One common mistake that students may make is to multiply the ratio by the whole number and use the product as the final response. Another common mistake students will make will be to view the ratio as a fraction. It will be important for students to know the difference between fractions and ratios. When walking the room checking for understanding it is important to check that students understand part to whole relationships within a ratio, how to set up the second part to whole ratio from using the given ratio, how to use the total given and which ratio to associate the total to in order to solve for the missing information.
Resources (3)
Whole Group Discussion
During this time, students groups should have the opportunity to share out their pair up time discussions, and reveal each of their responses. You may not have time to have each student share. As you filter through the room during pair up time, attempt to identify a group who has understanding, some understanding and little understanding. During the whole group discussion have students debate their responses and defend their thinking. This again will practice MP 3. As the facilitator of the discussion, you can head the discussion with open ended questions that will evoke students to defend. For example a student may respond to question 1 with 80. Students may defend their response by stating that they multiplied the ratio by the 240. With this response, ask students, what does this find? What is the problem asking us to find? Does this response answer what the problem is asking us to find? What does the ratio represent? What does the total represent? This will allow students to practice MP 1 and MP2. Students will need to regroup their thinking and attempt to resolve the problem using the new information.
It is important for true understanding that students are aware of the correct process in solving problems, as well as the correct answer. During the closing take time to go over problem 1. During this time use the modeling method to solve the problem. Show the students how to solve problem 1 then for the exit ticket have students correctly model problem 3. Please see below the directions to solve problem 1 using the modeling method and equations.
First: Have students identify that 1 out of 3 cages were black. (not one-third) This totals 240 total black cages. I have my students set up and label the ratios. Have students use any symbol to represent the ratios. Students should recognize the ratio's numerator represents how many black cage symbols are needed and the remaining out of the whole will be how many silver will be modeled.
Black = 1/3 O = 240
What do we know? We know that 1 out of 3 cages total 240 black cages.
What do we want to know? We want to know how many cages are silver.
Silver = 2/3 O O = ?
How do we find out how many cages are silver? We need to find out the total of each cage. If we use the total number of black cages and divide it by how many black cages are in the ratio, we will find the amount of each cage represented in the ratio.
240/1 = 240
What does this mean? Each symbol is worth 240. How many symbols is represented with silver? 2
Finding the amount of silver cages. 240 + 240 = 480 or 240 x 2= 480 (MP 7)
Final response: 480 silver cages
Exit Tickets
Have students use a separate sheet of paper to solve problem #3 using the strategy taught during closing. Have students compare their first strategy with the new understanding they gained during the closing.

The public still associates the orchestras of Berlin, New York and Chicago (all of which sold out instantly) with the Olympian heights of classical music. The city of Rotterdam does not cause the spine to tingle in the same way.
Classical music concert-goers, it seems, are as susceptible to the lure of a "brand name" as their counterparts at rock concerts who blithely ignore key personnel changes among the musicians.
Certainly, the aforementioned orchestras are still among the best in the world, but the world of classical music has changed since Von Karajan in Berlin, Solti in Chicago and Boulez in New York ruled relatively unchallenged. As CD buyers know, the less glamorous names on the less glamorous labels at budget prices can produce music which achieves critical acclaim. And the great orchestras can have their off days.
The music critic Norman Lebrecht - whose new book When The Music Stops claims that the big orchestral names "are often overpaid and overplayed" - said yesterday that audiences take a gamble when they buy tickets for the big names.
"There is a premier league of orchestras who, when they play on top form, are unbeatable. But when they play on less than top form they can pull a real stinker. They may have been touring too much or they don't care because money has become more important than institutional pride.
"None of the London orchestras can play as brilliantly as the Berlin Philharmonic on top form; but equally none of the London orchestras can play as badly as the Berlin Philharmonic can do if they don't like the conductor or the coffee wasn't quite right at breakfast."
There is also, says Lebrecht, the problem of too much playing. "You always have to ask whether the orchestra is coming in as a first step on the tour or the third or fourth step. Are we getting wide-awake performances? The New York Philharmonic came in fourth step on their tour. So all these things have to be taken into account. It is a gamble for audiences, though less of a gamble at the Proms when the exuberance and the foot stamping tends to rouse even the biggest orchestras and give them back their old enthusiasm."
But for Lebrecht and other experts there is as much excitement in names that are unknown to the public at large. "The Chamber Orchestra of Europe is one of the most interesting bands around," he said. "Conductors who have worked with them tell me it is a total experience. You're playing with some of the best young musicians in Europe."
At this year's Proms, the premier league names all sold out; but there have been some new British entrants into the top division. Britain's Sir Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra are also among the hottest tickets. There were sell-outs too for soloist horn player Barry Tuckwell's farewell performance and for conductor Trevor Pinnock with the English Concert Orchestra.
Tickets were also at a premium for the National Youth Orchestra. Are they now a major force among world orchestras? "Possibly," said a Proms official, "but you also have to remember there are a lot of parents and friends."

How funny! I actually did buy those wooden scissors from Pottery Barn when they still sold them, and had I known you were so smitten by them and so longing for them, I probably would have packed mine up and just given them to you! :)
Maybe we bloggers should all start posting on-going "wish lists" on our sidebars and start a blogger's swap! :)
Glad your scissors found their way to you!

See with the story that we have had for 30 years (for the most part0 it can still be tweaked and made more serious give it a strong cohesive story, bring this world to life and make it a true epic, that doesn't mean turning it on it's ear and making it a bloodbath etc. it just means making the stakes more serious, the villains HAVE to be evil and threatening, the heroes lives HAVE to be in peril.
I too hope Randor doesn't die. to me that short changes the sequels. I don't want to see King He-Man in part 2. I prefer Zodak training him though, it gives Zodak a purpose in the movie-verse that I rather like. and it fits the character IMO.

In 2012, Charlie Rangel secured a plurality of the vote to return to congress for his 22nd term. For the 2014 election cycle, the Campaign for Primary Accountability already has placed Rangel, whose 44 year career has been capped in recent years with a series of allegations of ethical violations and failures to comply with tax codes, in the Hot Seat.
Defeating Rep. Rangel is unfinished business for CPA. Though CPA successfully targeted 4 incumbent Democrats for defeat in the '12 cycle, Rangel was the big fish that got away, barely.
In 2010, Charlie Rangel prevailed in the primary with a narrow 51% of the vote. In 2012, Rangel managed to win with a plurality, gaining just 44% of the vote, and winning by less than 1000 votes against State Senator Adriano Espaillat. Four candidates ran as the anti-Rangel candidate, splitting a majority of the vote.
Longtime advisor to Rep. Rangel, political consultant Bill Lynch, recently wrote a case study, How Rangel Keeps on Winning, for Campaign & Elections magazine. Remarking on Rangel's brilliant campaign re-election strategy, Lynch wrote:
"Other than voter files and a modest social media presence, the campaign was focused on face-to-face interactions. These were essential, given the sizeable bloc of technologically illiterate seniors in the district that includes the congressman himself. As a result, Rangel often made multiple appearances a day, yet only filmed one YouTube video over the course of the entire campaign."
It does seems to follow that an inept new media strategy might lead to an multi-decade incumbent securing just 44% of the vote.
Lynch shrugged off the allegations against Rangel as "trumped up scandal" which hardly seems accurate, given that the House Ethics Committee found Rep. Rangel guilty violating House ethics rules with 11 counts and the full House approved a sanction of censure against Rangel.
Lynch also dismisses the efforts of CPA as "in-effective" and claims the Super PAC "had little knowledge of the district". However, former Representatives, both Democratic and Republican, that CPA targeted and defeated in 2012, would beg to differ.

X2 still in the lead, and marginally better than the original X-Men and First Class. Advertisement I felt it was a little overstuffed. Some cheesy "high concept" stuff during the Paris scenes. Some too on the nose dialogue. But the stakes were high and quite honestly, until the end you aren't sure how it's all going to work out. The plot and scripting were top notch for comic book fare. Not quite Winter Soldier smart (my favorite comic book film thus far, even ahead of Dark Knight, but I was always a Cap fan), but more sci-fi twisty. Every cast member gets a moment to chew some scenery and be actual actors, although I really wanted more future Prof X. In the future timeline he's almost helpless. Magneto gets to be a total badass in both timelines however, and I really appreciate seeing the state of their relationship in the future.. Oh, and I also want more Quicksilver. He's only present for a couple of scenes, but his Big Scene is a real highlight for the entire film. Advertisement I won't give anything away, but go into this film knowing that it erases Brett Ratner's contributions from the timeline, and in a way that makes sense. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. That is all. Reply6 repliesLeave a reply

Having had Juvederm injections several times for smile lines before, one doctor said that she could inject it in my cheeks and under my eyes if I want to try to restore some volume. I am hesitant because my experience is that the product stays where it's injected, what would be my options? What is the best and most natural non-surgical way to restore volume in the cheeks and under eyes that won't give me a lumpy result?
Non-surgical Way to Restore Volume in Midface?
Doctor Answers 20
Web reference: http://www.michaelelammd.com
Fillers are a non-surgical way to add volume to the face. As we age we lose fat and bone volume in our face. If you look at pictures of actors as they age you we see a thinning of the face with age. This is a natural progression. On the lower eyelids we develop a depression under our eyes which occurs due to the descent of the cheek tissue.
Restalyne and juvaderm are the fillers of choice for the lower lids because this is a tricky area to fill. If the area is over-corrected it can look too full or grey in color. If this occurs with the fillers above it can dissolved with hyuronidase. The correction can last up to one year unlike the mouth area where correction is typically 6 months.
To volumize the cheeks, fat transfer, sculptra, radiesse can also be used.
Juvaderm Ultra Plus works well to restore volume in the midface. It can last 6 to 12 months. I also use Radiasse as a midface filler. This lasts a bit longer.
Costs are equivilent with 0.8 cc syringes about $650.
Fillers beneath the thin skin of the nasojugal groove and perioribital skin require a thinner hyuronidase product, such as Restylane or Juvaderm Ultra. These cost $600 per syringe.
You might also like...
Fillers are the best treatment. Juvederm or other fillers work best when injected below the muscle under the eyelid area to minimize bruising and create a more smooth result. The fillers are used in the deep plane in the cheek with multiple passes and small amounts per pass to spread out the product so there is only a small chance of lumpiness. The hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane / Perlane can be treated with hyaluronidase to thin out the lumpiness should it occur.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com
Volumizing for the midface is one of the best ways to rejuvenate this area. Dermal fillers and fat transferring procedures can markedly bring youth to this area in a natural way. Dermal fillers are a non surgical way to do this without long incisions but the effect is short lived lasting from 6 months to a year or more depending on the product. Fat injections are another option that also requires no incisions just small puncture holes to achieve beautiful results that can last years up to 10 years or more. Volumizing is a great alternative to midface rejuvenation.
Fillers have become gold standard for volumizing the cheeks. In my experience, Sculptra and Radiesse work wonderful in this area.
For under eyes, however, Hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm work better and are safer.
I agree with the others. Fillers are the best option for treatment. However, some fillers are better than others. Scuptra in my opinion is not a good choice if you are using it close to the thin skin of the lower eyelid. The hyaluronic acid fillers are great... Restylane probably being my choice. The injections should be done by an experienced physician. The fillers should also be placed as deep to the skin as possible to avoid lumpiness. Volume is what you are trying to acheive.... not removing superficial lines. The technique is totally different.
Hi Newmie,
Juvederm is excellent for restoring volume in the midface. I would use Restylane close to the eyes as sometimes Juvederm swells a little too much in this area leading to unsatisfactory results.
Another non-surgical method of restoring midface volume and lifting the slight laxity of the area is treatment with fractionated carbon dioxide laser. I have been using Fraxel re:pair for the past year. One of the most consistent effects is a slight lift of the mid-face, and smoothing of the lower eye lids.
Choose your injecting physician carefully.
Dr. P
Juvederm Voluma is a FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over the age of 21. It can provide you contour and a subtle lift for up to two years with optimal treatment.

So, I decided to try and duplicate Gretchen's jewelery design on a t-shirt. It doesn't look exactly the same, but I love the end result.
I took a shiny cream organza from my scrap pile, ironed fusible webbing to the back of it and cut out my shapes. Then I ironed the shapes to a plain black t-shirt.
Super funky. Love it!
P.S. Have you noticed yet that I am in LOVE with fusible webbing? I've used it a lot lately: Lace Embellished Shirt and Free Bag Transformation and Patched Elbows
P.P.S Are you as excited as I am for Season 9 of Project Runway???

USFS Profiles Jerri Marr
Jerri Marr supervises the Pike-San Isabel National Forests and Comanche National Grassland, and became a fixture at press conferences during the Waldo Canyon Fire. The United States Forest Service profiles her on its home page:
Simply 'Marr'-velous: Forest Service leader hailed as hero merely doing her job
Article description:
Jerri Marr had sandwiches named for her, is the subject of a fan-created Facebook page and has shaken as many hands as a local politician. But as the forest supervisor of more than 3.5 million acres of public land, Marr said what is important to her is making a difference.

Harmony Smurf
this wiki
Harmony Smurf | |
Also Known As | Rocker Smurf ("The Astro Smurf", Random House English version) |
Gender | Male |
Race | Smurf |
Occupation | Musician, Village Siren |
Voice Actor | Hamilton Camp |
First Appearance | Season 1 |
Universe | Comic Books 1961 Cartoon Show 1981 Cartoon Show Live-Action Movie (mentioned only) |
Gallery |
Harmony Smurf (original French name Schtroumpf Musicien) is one of the main characters of the Smurfs comic books and the Smurfs cartoon show, who has appeared on the show up until the Season 9 premiere episode "The Smurfs That Time Forgot".
He is a musician who is usually off-key and annoys his fellow Smurfs by his attempts to play a musical instrument, usually his horn. Sometimes, his music proves to actually be quite good, like in the new Smurf movie, where he is one of the instrument players (playing his trademark horn) in the opening sequence.
Role in the Village
Harmony's role is supposed to be the musician of the Smurfs who is supposed to play beautiful music. Instead, he just blows his off-key trumpet at random times. He occasionly plays a musician role, when the Smurfs are celebrating. In fact, the Smurfs turn to him when they need music. Examples are when he is shown performing while the other Smurfs do entertaining talents, such as in the opening sequence of the new Smurf movie, where he plays his horn for the dancing Smurfs. In times of danger, Harmony's role would be that of a village siren, where he would play his horn to warn the other Smurfs. This role would be taken over by Crazy Smurf in the 2011 Smurfs movie.
Music Skills
Harmony is the worst musician there is. His main instrument is his trumpet, which is completely off-key. In fact, he's something of a multi-instrumentalist; in "Smurphony In 'C'" he was given the opportunity to try other instruments when the other Smurfs were trying to figure out if a different instrument would make any difference. They let him play the lute, the trombone, the harp, and the harmonium, all of which ended up sounding really off-key. It all cumulated when Brainy Smurf handed him a triangle, and after striking the instrument, the tone was so off key that it fractured the glass in Brainy's glasses. A final attempt had him conducting the orchestra, resulting in everybody playing off-key.
Everytime Brainy or Papa Smurf are announcing something, he plays his trumpet so that the others would know, so he's not entirely bad at this job. Also, it seems like Harmony is in charge of the wake-up-calls for the Smurfs.
While he may be the musician, there is a chance Harmony is either tone deaf or finds his own music to be master pieces. In one episode, he wished for his trumpet to play better, only to throw it away because it didn't make a 'good sound', despite it sounding very pleasant. Despite his awful skills when it comes to playing instruments, it seems that Harmony is actually a great singer as seen in "A Mere Truffle" where he sang a song about his love for truffles.
Harmony gets on all the Smurfs nerves whenever he plays, but he isn't disliked (Smurfs prefer him over Brainy).
They don't seem to be a fan of him, though, often being happy if Harmony doesn't play his off-tuned trumpet anymore. They do care for him, though, saving him whenever he gets himself into trouble.
Yet there are moments where he's asking for trouble. In "Romeo And Smurfette", Harmony keeps on interrupting Handy and Hefty's love songs for Smurfette by blowing his horn everytime they're close to finishing. He did this until they threw him out of the village, in the same manner they throw out Brainy.
- His character was voiced by the late Hamilton Camp.
- He appears in the opening sequence of the new Smurf movie.
- He also made a brief cameo in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
- He appears in cartoon form in the 2011 Smurfs movie in the end part where the pictures shown at the back of a Smurf holding his trademark horn. As far as his appearance as a CGI character, it is in The Smurfs 2: The Video Game as one of the characters you can rescue by collecting enough Smurf coins.
- Harmony is misidentified as Rocker Smurf in the Random House English version of "The Astro Smurf".
- Harmony was mentioned in The Smurfs film when they were mentioning the Smurfs they miss.
- Even though he was never seen in the first movie, Harmony makes an appearance in the beginning of The Smurfs 2, where he, along with Handy, Farmer, Crazy, Smooth, Panicky Smurf and Hefty Smurf were performing music while Narrator was telling the story of Smurfette's creation. Despite being more well-known for playing trumpet, Harmony Smurf is playing guitar while Panicky Smurf plays trumpet.

BRUSSELS, May 5 (SW) - RSC Anderlecht have won the Belgian league title for the 28th time, beating Zulte-Waregem 3-0 while Standard Liege crashed to a 0-2 defeat by Gent.
Anderlecht - Zulte-Waregem 3-0
On the final day, Anderlecht had a two-points advantage over Standard to defend so a win over Zulte would certainly secure the title.
Four minutes before the half time whistle, Lamine Traore broke the deadlock for the leaders and Hannu Tihinen doubled the gap in the 54th minute.
Frederic Dindeleux scored an own goal in the 64th minute, setting the score to 3-0.
The title is Anderlecht's 28th ever, with which they have a staggering fifteen more than Club Brugge. Anderlecht's first league trophy was won in 1949, and the most recent victory came in 2004.
This year's Jupiler League was as exciting as it gets, as Anderlecht faced strong competition from Standard. The Liege-based team even spent several weeks in first position, but Anderlecht eventually surpassed their main rivals.
Standard Liege - Gent 0-2
Standard lost their last match and the championship, but will look back on a good season as the team qualifies for the third preliminary round of the Champions League.
Gent took the lead through Christophe Gregoire in the 23rd minute, prematurely taking away Standard's hope for a positive outcome. Nebojsa Pavlovic added a second, eight minutes later.
Club Brugge - Genk 3-0
Club Brugge will appear in next year's UEFA Cup tournament. Against Genk, last year's champions achieved a 3-0 win. Bosko Balaban scored in the 37th and 62nd minutes (second goal was a penalty), and Philippe Clement got the third in the 82nd.
Lokeren - Germinal Beerschot 1-2
Germinal Beerschot took a secure lead with goals from Tosin Dosunmu in the 38th minute and Jurgen Cavens in the 64th. Lokeren got one back through Besnik Hasi in the 72nd minute, but failed to net an equalizer.
Sint-Truiden - FC Brussels 0-1
Sint-Truiden hosted FC Brussels and suffered a 0-1 defeat. The only goal came from Richard Culek, who converted a penalty kick in the 32nd minute.
Westerlo - La Louviere 2-1
La Louviere, last in the league, have been relegated to the third division due to fiancial problems. Their last match at the top level had a 2-1 defeat as result, with Christiaan Janssens and Wim Mennes scoring for Westerlo while Ace Stojkov got the only goal for the guests.
Charleroi - Cercle Brugge 0-1
The only goal of the match between Charleroi and Cercle Brugge came from Stijn de Smet in the 53rd minute, giving Cercle Brugge a narrow win in the south of the country.
Lierse - Roeselare 1-0
Dragan Mrdja put Lierse in the lead after twelve minutes, and for a long time this win seemed to be enough to avoid ending up in a promotion-relegation competition with three second division teams.
However, Lierse depended on the result of the match between Beveren and Excelsior Mouscron.
Beveren - Excelsior Mouscron 1-0
Beveren needed to beat Mouscron in order to stay ahead of Lierse and survive in the Eerste Klasse. And the deciding goal eventually did come, and was scored by Mohammed Diallo in the 88th minute.

The player's S-Recommendation feature is designed to aggregate recommendations from the different services that you use -- Hulu Plus, Netflix -- and put them on one screen under "Movies & TV." In practice it didn't offer much else past kids' movies despite my watching "Lost" and other "grown-up" content.
As with other Blu-ray players at this price, connectivity is pretty limited, with only a single HDMI and optical digital output. For content you have the option of a front-mounted USB slot and a rear Ethernet connector. Wi-Fi is also onboard, of course.
While the performance of the device you connect a Blu-ray player to -- a television -- can still differ markedly from others offered at the same price, this isn't always the case with Blu-ray players. Among the competition at around $100, this Samsung offers very similar imaging performance with some subtle differences, and while besting the Sony BDP-S5100 it wasn't quite as good as the Panasonic DMP-BDT230 in some tests.
In fact, the Samsung passed all of the picture quality tests with only the slightest amount of moire in the pull-down tests. This test displays a race car going around the corner of a track with a grandstand behind it. With the Samsung there was some noise in the uppermost stands of both the 2:2 and 3:2 tests and this was consistent across both Blu-ray and DVD.
As with the Sony before it, this kind of digital noise wasn't as evident in "real-world" material, with the staircase that opens the "Mission: Impossible III" banquet scene in the Vatican being mostly free of moire or shimmering artifacts. The other video tests, from "Star Trek: Insurrection" on DVD to the Nine Inch Nails test disk, were all passed successfully. As a result, I conclude that this player should be able to replay most disc-based media without a problem.
The Samsung does so much more than play discs and so I put the player's many features to the test, from the speed of its CD-ripping feature to the screen-mirroring function.
One of the things that struck me when using the BD-F5900 was how quick it was, and based on my testing, it is the quickest I've seen yet at loading media and even just simply powering on. However this "power" can come at a price. The Quick Start feature may offer instantaneous on, which is altogether amazing, but it uses quite a bit of electricity. While playing a DVD it used 10W -- which involves spinning a physical disc and outputting video -- but turning the player off completely still resulted in a draw of 8W! Disabling Quick Start lengthened the startup time from 0.5 second to 8 seconds but reduced the power draw to practically zero. You decide which you'd prefer.
Compared with a refrigerator, though, the Blu-ray player pulls almost no power and favoring performance over prudence I conducted the remaining speed tests with Quick Start on. Our Netflix test initially took 45 secs from "cold" as the player also loaded Smart Hub, but subsequent loads were very fast, with an average of 16.3 seconds to load the menu after the Netflix button was pushed. Most of the other players took 20 seconds or more to load and the difference was noticeable. The craziest speed differential though was the "Mission Impossible: III" test, which measures how long it takes the player to go from a cold start to playing the movie. The Samsung halved the time of the nearest competitor, the Sony BDP-S5100, with a score of only 5.9 seconds.
AllShare Cast is probably the newest feature on this player that will garner some interest, and used in conjunction with a Samsung Galaxy 4 I found that it was one of the least laggy screen-mirroring technologies I've used yet. While the lag time is under a second, it is still noticeable enough that it was difficult to play a twitch game like Angry Birds. If you want to share video then Google's Send to TV (YouTube, Netflix, and so on) is still more reliable.
Lastly I tested the CD-ripping capability and found it a little more hassle than it's worth. First the player wouldn't access track metadata and so rips would only come out named "Track 01" and so on. Secondly, for a player that is so quick elsewhere, here it was almost tediously slow, taking 6:06 minutes to rip a copy of Thundercat's "Apocalypse" whereas a PC only took 3:08 minutes, with the added benefit of keeping ID3 track data in place.
Though there are tradeoffs with power usage, taking advantage of Quick Start with the BD-F5900 gives you one of the quickest Blu-ray players you could ever buy. Waiting around for your player to turn on and load a disc can now be a thing of the past.
The Blu-ray player's picture quality is very good and the interface is very simple, and while some of the features aren't all that useful -- CD ripping, for example -- at least it gets the basics right.
The Samsung BD-F5900 is an excellent Blu-ray player offering a mix of usability, performance, and speed, making it a very good value. This unit should be at the top of the list for anyone seeking a Blu-ray player in 2013.

I recently moved to a different city and need to change my phone number to a different area code. How can I do that?How do I change my Net10 Phone Number?
Just call NET10 Customer Care. The number is 1-877-TEN-CENT (1-877-836-2368). They will check if NET10 Wireless is available in your area. You will be reassigned a new wireless phone number if NET10 is available where you live. Bear in mind that the changing of phone numbers is limited to four times in a given year.
NOTE: Listen carefully to what they say, as most likely, you'll hear a heavy accent on the other end.

What you meant to say
"My goal," she says in a Facebook post, "is to point out words and phrases that students hear a lot but don't think twice about.
"I also want to discuss sins of omission: The message media outlets send when they fail to talk about certain groups."
She givs these examples:
urban - used to imply black, inner city, with a negative connotation
blue-collar - used to imply rednecks, uneducated, poor
effeminate - stop trying to out people already
downsizing - just say you're firing people even though they work hard
family values - other than people in prison for patricide, does anyone NOT have family values?
I replied initially:
"Flamboyant" is also a traditional code word for "gay."
"Leafy" and "tree-shaded" neighborhoods are affluent and white. "Gritty" is another code for "urban/black," though it may sometimes refer to blue-collar white neighborhoods.
Private Eye developed a whole set of euphemisms to get around Britain's stringent libel laws. My favorite is "tired and emotional" for "drunk in public."
I have since been adding examples, which you may wish to comment on or supplement:
harsh interrogation techniques = torture
enhanced interrogation techniques = torture
collateral damage = dead women and children
strategic withdrawal = retreat
ethnic cleansing = genocide
adult entertainment = porn
exotic dancer = stripper
escort = hooker
replacement worker = scab
restructuring = panic firing of the staff
rightsizing = panic firing of the staff
voluntary separation agreements = panic firing of the staff
pre-owned = used
sanitary landfill = dump
person of interest = suspect, but we won't say so
correctional facility = jail, prison, Big House
stately home = overpriced McMansion
full-figured = fat
Rubensesque = fat
husky = fat
waiflike [for model] = anorexic/bulimic
television personality = person famous for no identifiable talent
gadfly = crank
outspoken = rude, won't shut up
loquacious = tiresome, won't shut up
misspoke = (a) lied, (b) doesn't know what he's talking about, or (c) was drunk
matriarch = bossy older African-American woman
elderly statesman = senile
venerable = old, probably senile
veteran lawmaker = party hack
entrepreneur = huckster
blockbuster movie = best scenes already shown in the trailers
laugh riot = guys being hit in the crotch, flatulence
rehab = drying out
contrition = simulated regret after being caught
principled opposition = obstructionism
reform proposal = what the lobbyists paid for
town hall meeting [non-New England] = freak show
tea party rally = freak show
I could go on like this all day, but perhaps you would like to take a turn.
24 comments:
(an obit for a young person) died unexpectedly = suicide or overdose
someone described as a "bulldog" = pain in the ass

Wasn't "confirmed bachelor" once used in social columns as a euphemism for gay?
Then there's "feisty," which is used to refer to older women who have the temerity to still be in possession of all their faculties; sometimes used to refer to old men who are smarter than the person labeling them.
There's also financial sleight-of-word. When politicians characterize project funding as a grant when the money comes from state "walking around money" in Pennsylvania or from federal earmarks, the word grant may not be a lie, but it doesn't tell the whole story.
Don't forget the many readers who object to the word die, particularly in headlines. I've heard editors field those calls and try to explain why "passed" or other euphemisms aren't in headlines. The readers who call rarely seem to be satisfied by any explanation, tactful or otherwise.
My current bugaboo is "stakeholders." The term refers to anyone who might have an opinion about some government or corporate action. For me, it conjures up visions of peasants pursuing Count Dracula and his kin.
Barbara Phillips Long encore presentation = rerun
for your convenience = for our convenience
exclusive = (practically anything)
Real estate, of course, has an entire lexicon of special terms:
cozy = cramped
elegant = cosmetic veneer applied
retro = out of date
historic = out of date and probably non-functional
territorial view = no view
fixer = ready to be condemned
opportunity = no one wants to buy this
Incidentally, re: "refurbished." It's true that "refurbished" probably means "used," but the term is also used for the scenario, which is fairly common with technical gadgetry, that the item was simply returned for whatever reason. Once the package has been opened, the manufacturer cannot sell it as new, even if the device was not really ever used. I once returned a computer that was perfectly fine except that one easily-replaced memory bank (SIMM) was faulty, and the stupid customer service people wouldn't just replace that for me. So they got the entire computer back, essentially unused, and I'm sure within a day the SIMM was replaced and the item was being flogged as a "refurbished" item.- Eli Morris-HeftFebruary 26, 2010 at 4:03 PM
I've always felt that 'Reubenesque' meant that the person was, yes, fat, but was also considered by the speaker to be attractive.

So many of these are a simple exercise in cynicism, especially the euphemisms for firing people. "Reduction in force" further sanitized by being shortened to "RIF" (as in "I've been RIF'd) is quite prevalent in these times.
I particularly liked "entrepreneur = huckster". I've known a few of those. "Con artist" would also fit. "Urban" also is used to describe African-American pop music styles, such as R&B and hip-hop. (It derives in this case from the name of a radio format, such as Adult Contemporary or Modern Rock.) Its usage in that context does not have a negative connotation.
Also, I think what Constantia means is "dropping ordnance," not "ordinance."- David LFebruary 27, 2010 at 1:03 PM
"Tired and emotional" for drunk was not invented by Private Eye, although it was much used by them. If I recall correctly, George Brown, a Labour MP who was at one time Minister for Defence, appeared on a TV interview speaking in a decidedly slurred manner. The Labour party flacks explained this the next day saying that Mr Brown had been "tired and emotional" on account of some personal matter.
And I think it was the Daily Telegraph obit column that made famous the phrase "a lifelong [or confirmed] bachelor," usually applied to public figures or members of the aristocracy whose preference was well-known among those in the know but not talked about in public. - AnonymousMarch 2, 2010 at 12:47 AM
Being a Brit, I can't help taking you Americans (assuming that you are Americans) to task for what you've done to the language of the political spectrum. Please compare:
In the UK:
Conservative = misses Mrs Thatcher
Socialist = someone who detests Mrs Thatcher
Communist = someone who wants the USSR to come back
Marxist = a counter-culture idealist undergrad
Liberal = someone with principles that are a bit too ideal to ever become reality.
Neocon = Fascist
In the US:
Conservative = Respectably extreme right
Socialist = Communist
Communist = A traitor or enemy
Marxist = a non-Islamic terrorist regime
Liberal = Communist
Neocon = Extreme right and doesn't care who knows it - Ol' ScrapironMarch 3, 2010 at 1:31 PM

The strain will allow the plants to develop but will decimate the quantity of opium they can produce, thereby ensuring that growers spend time and money guarding a useless crop.
A virulent strain of Pleospora papaveracea, a fungus which looks much like the black fuzzy powder that grows on stale bread, was isolated by scientists at the Institute of Genetics in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The centre is on the rim of the "golden crescent" area of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan where much of the world's heroin is grown. Plans are being drawn up to produce large quantities of the fungus in industrial fermenters so that it can be sprayed over or released near the opium fields.
British experts were reported this weekend to be advising Uzbekistan on how to culture the fungus, but a spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Maff) could not confirm that the Government was funding part of the cost, estimated to be pounds 300,000.
The United States government is also said to be involved in the project, a revelation that might be used as propaganda by Islamic fundamentalists who could legitimately claim that the West was involved in attempts to wage biological warfare on poor farmers in the region.
Dr Jeff Waage, director of the International Institute of Biological Control at Ascot in Berkshire, said that the United Nations had been investigating a range of fungi that could be used against opium poppies and other illicit drug crops. "In principle, you could produce the naturally occurring diseases of poppies artificially and I understand this is what they are doing. There are about four or five commercially available fungal herbicides which do much the same job on weeds," he said.
Although the institute has worked with the UN's anti-drug programme, Dr Waage denied that it had "vetted" the research. He said the institute did not get involved in specific projects because of the fears that this may jeopardise the safety of its researchers who work in countries with organised drug gangs.
"We don't know anything of the Tashkent people and I don't understand the reported link with Britain. We've never heard of Maff funding any of this work. I'm quite concerned that there are suggestions that we are implicated because this may put our people at risk in places such as Peru or Colombia," he said.
Scientists in Uzbekistan are reported to have already tested the virulent strain of the fungus on poppy fields. They found that the fungus caused the poppy plant to erupt in lesions and fungal spores quickly spread between the plants to decimate the entire crop.
The former Soviet Union had a highly secret biological weapons programme which could have supplied much of the expertise for the project. Soviet scientists are known to have worked on anthrax weapons in breach of international treaties, as well as producing biological agents that could be used to destroy enemy crops.
