Filler complications
I understand your concern and I am glad you're doing your homework. Unfortunately, there is no way to make any medical procedure 100% risk-free. However, well-trained experts use techniques (i.e., cannulas, slow injection, small boluses, etc.) to make these risks exceedingly low. To maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome and minimize the risk of complications, I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
Filler complications
That is a very good question, and I understand your concern. There unfortunate truth is that there is not one method that can completely eliminate any risk of complications. There are, however, several techniques that can minimize those chances, which are already quite low. The use of cannulas can help in that they are much less likely to penetrate (and occlude) a blood vessel. Also withdrawing on the syringe prior to injection can help ensure that you are not in a blood vessel. Avoiding large, forceful depot injections will also minimize chances, while improving your aesthetic result. I will say that there are 2 areas where these complications occur more frequently, and those are the glabella and nasolabial fold areas. You mentioned that you want to add volume to your cheeks. You might consider a consultation for Voluma, as this is injected relatively deep, and theoretically below the blood vessels. It is also injected in an area of the cheek with a good amount of collateral circulation that is not usually dependent on one blood vessel. Good luck.

Endangered Species Act
Championing the ESA
Defenders is the leading national conservation voice for the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the protection and enhancement of a strong ESA is Defenders' highest organizational priority. We champion efforts to ensure that the ESA is allowed to accomplish what it was intended to do: to prevent the extinction of listed species and to promote their stabilization and recovery. We work to accomplish those goals by pursuing four different strategies: developing and promoting innovative ideas to make the act work more effectively and efficiently; working aggressively to ensure that critical federal funding for the ESA is not only maintained but enhanced; vigorously defending the ESA from all legislative attacks that threaten to undermine and weaken the law; and holding the administration accountable when it fails to comply with the act's statutory requirements and protective regulations.
Our Conservation Law department works with other conservation organizations, wildlife scientists and experts, and federal agencies to make sure that endangered species receive the full protection they deserve and to which they are entitled. When a federal agency proposes an action that is likely to jeopardize an endangered species or damage its critical habitat, our legal team will go to court to stop it. If the administration inappropriately fails to list a species that is imperiled, we will challenge it. Over the past 30 years, Defenders has filed numerous lawsuits to protect a wide variety of endangered species, from our ongoing role defending wolves, to advocating for increased protections for polar bears and sea turtles.
In Congress, Defenders educates legislators and their staff about the values at stake in protecting endangered species, helping them understand how important it is to provide adequate funding for endangered species programs and to keep the ESA strong. We also relentlessly oppose all legislative efforts to weaken the law. In 2012, we published a report for legislators, the media and the public that highlighted more than a dozen proposed amendments and bills that would have overridden or waived key provisions of the Endangered Species Act designed to prevent jeopardy to the entire species or the take of individual animals. As a result of the hard work of Defenders and our conservation partners, none of these provisions became law.
Despite these past successes, new legislative threats are introduced each year that put the Endangered Species Act at risk, requiring constant vigilance on the part of Defenders and our members and supporters. So in addition to the rest of our work, we also help organize and maximize the impact of the voices of individual citizens who want to speak up for endangered wildlife in their communities and on Capitol Hill. To help citizens inform policymakers of their strong support for the nation's commitment to saving imperiled wildlife, Defenders has also launched a new citizen advocacy campaign, Conservation Crossroads: Extinction or Recovery?

I've been one busy geek girl! Two cons in two weekends. And actually, unless you count my accidental attendance at Furry Weekend Atlanta, my first two geek cons ever.
From May 19-22, I attended Balticon, the science fiction convention in Baltimore, Maryland:
And on May 27th, I did a day of ConCarolinas, a Science Fiction & Gaming convention in my (current!) hometown of Charlotte, NC:
Let me tell you a bit about the fun I had!
- Balticon was really more like the vehicle for us to geek out, buy some gaming stuff, and play lots of D&D. To be honest, other than visiting the dealer's room and vaguely popping our heads into a few things, DaveTheGame and I didn't do a whole lot of actual Balticon-sponsored activities.
- We participated in Worldwide D&D Game Day on Saturday. I played Arjhana, the Dragonborn Rogue. (I promptly renamed her Hannah. Arjhana was just too weird.) DaveTheGame DMed and among the players was Critical Hits writer The Main Event, who recently moved back to town since graduating law school. (Grats!) The adventure was pretty fun and it was cool getting to see DaveTheGame DM. I told him the status of our relationship depended on his DMing skills. I suppose I'll keep him around. I tweeted a bunch during the game. You can probably search for #dndgd and find the hilarity there.
- On Sunday, DaveTheGame DMed his regular campaign, in which I am now a player! Since Mielka's game group in Charlotte pretty much died, I have leveled her up to 11 and have written a mid-story to bridge the gap between her getting drunk at the bar to her ending up in an entirely different world having gained several levels and the abilities of a Divine Oracle. (Check the Moradin's Lass page for more on Mielka.) Did some tweeting there, too.
- After the game, we had a big ol' party to celebrate DaveTheGame getting his Masters degree. I got to meet the other major writer from Critical Hits, Bartoneus, and his wife. It was a fun time. Adult beverages were consumed. Our hotel room floor was populated by people crashing for the evening. Good times.
Con Carolinas
- DaveTheGame drove down to come to ConCarolinas with me. We had debated whether we wanted to do the whole con or just go for Saturday and opted to do the Saturday only badge.
- I have to admit, things started out a bit slow. We wandered around, checked out the dealer's room (cooler stuff than Balticon, IMO). I bought a couple bumper stickers for my car.
- We played a game of Wits & Wagers (with sci-fi questions) and lost miserably. It was okay though since DaveTheGame already owns a copy of Wits & Wagers, so it would have been useless to win!
- We signed up to play Savage Worlds since DaveTheGame has been peer pressured by people like UncleBear to try it. I was on the alternate list since there was only one slot available on the sign-up sheet, but when we showed up, our GM was like – "Everybody plays!"
- Turns out our GM is none other than Sean Patrick Fannon. Not only is he an awesome and fun GM, he's an awesome and cool guy! We ended up hanging out after the game and eating burritos with a bunch of people, including Mark from Dice Monkey.
- Backing up – Savage Worlds was a pretty neat system. We were all pretty much n00bs to it, so there was a lot of hand-holding (and in my case, DaveTheGame and Hybban doing math for me after I rolled my dice). I'd like to play it again sometime. The game itself was really fun and we had cool players and ended up totally messing with Sean Patrick's plans for the final battle by drowning the biggest badass on the board. Mwah ha ha.
- After the game, burritos. Then Sean Patrick was trying to figure out where the party was, and upon finding no party, decided to throw a party in his room. DaveTheGame and I went on the beer run and a party semi-spontaneously erupted in Room 304, which was soon populated by a bunch of random people that nobody knew. You know it's a geek party when there's Weird Al playing on the DJ laptop and people are having deep conversations about Star Trek. Awesomesauce.
Things I've Learned About Cons:
- People in full costume including a mask can be kind of obnoxious. Is it an anonymity thing?
- Dude, you definitely should not be WEARING the jeans while making them into cutoff shorts. Measure twice, cut once.
- Ladies apparently come in two types – those who don't wear bras and let their girls flop to and fro, and those who wear corsets and appear to be drowning in their own cleavage.
- Self-published authors can be very pushy. Very, very pushy.
- Sometimes, you just need to ignore the creepy dude who is staring at your legs like he's trying to count the number of molecules of skin there.
- Nerd whiff. It's for real. ("Nerd whiff" is a signature trademark of the StupidRanger corporation. All rights reserved.)
- There are some seriously cool and very nice people at conventions and I'm really excited about getting to meet more as I travel to geek out all around the country.
Anyway, I've had a ton of fun, but seriously, I'm ready to have a quiet weekend at home, even if it has to be without DaveTheGame.
My next stop is Origins! Who's going?

- Fest offers insights into cosmos
AHMEDABAD: The three-day Astronomy Fest 2017 concluded on Sunday with a slew of activities. The festival had started on Friday with the inauguration by Dr Anil Bharadwaj, the director of the Physical Research Laboratory, in the presence of scientists from the PRL, the ISRO, and various state-based universities. Over the three days, experts such as Dr R D Deshpande, Dr Hari Om Vats, Prof Narendra Bhandari, Dr Brij Mohan Thakore, Dr Vishal Joshi, and Dr Kuljeet Manhas explored different topics related to astronomy and earth sciences. Dhananjay Rawal, the president of the Astronomy Group of Ahmedabad (AGA) that hosted the festival, said that over 700 enthusiasts participated in the event daily. Activities took place from 5 pm to 10 pm. "It was heartening to see the response from children and adults alike to activities ranging from rocket modelling workshop to day and night sky watching," he said. "We had invited eminent scientists and science communicators for talks." Organizers said that in the second edition of the festival, main attractions were the display of meteorites, fossils of dinosaur eggs and bones, daytime astronomy, full-dome film festival, and hands-on activities.

- HC halts plan to redevelop slum next to Juhu airport
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Friday stayed all preparation to redevelop a slum area next to the Juhu airport. A bench of Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice Girish Kulkarni heard a PIL by businessman-cum-activist Babu Jagtap, saying preparations are on for a scheme for slumdwellers on airport land. His petition said that in 2015, a PIL was disposed after recording statement of Airports Authority of India (AAI) that no permission of any nature was given for slum rehabilitation Advocate Cherag Balsara, appearing for Cosmos Developers, said he has a no-objection certificate from AAI. When questioned by the bench, he replied that it was to carry out a survey . The judges then asked how a private developer was conducting a survey which has to be done by Slum Rehabilitation Authority . Balsara said his client is collecting consensus of slumdwellers to submit a proposal for redevelopment which has not been submitted yet. AAI's advocate said there are plans for the airport's modernization but denied recei ving any proposal from any developer. When the judges asked what happens if the airport wants to expand in future, Balsara said it is "not an actively used airport". Justice Chellur asked, "How can you say that? Once development comes there, it will be impossible to expand," said Justice Chellur.In its order, the bench took note of the developer's "persistent statement" that the Juhu airport is not functional and of a recent public notice by the deputy collector (encroachments) for a cluster development. on the land. The AAI and SRA are directed to file replies.

- Signs of normalcy, but change still in short supply
PUNE: Many parts of the city showed some signs of normalcy on Friday, 17 days after the old Rs500 and Rs1,000 were scrapped. There was relief for several areas, which had not been stocked with cash in days. More bank branches and ATMs were able to maintain a steady supply of cash. Despite this, however, citizens are feeling the pinch due to a lack of currency notes of smaller denominations, which remain absent from the city's ATMs and banks. Only a few banks, like some branches and ATMs of IDBI Bank, were able to adequately dispense notes of Rs100 and Rs500 to customers. "I went to three working ATMs in the Model Colony area, and all of them were dispensing Rs2000 notes only. The Rs100 notes were exhausted hours before I reached any of those places, according to the security guards there. Now what am I supposed to do with a large denomination note? I will have to shop in large amounts to get any change from merchants," says Megha Phadnis, who works at a Shivajinagar firm. Numerous cash management agencies have asserted that they are receiving a steady supply of smaller denomination notes. However, that supply had yet to reflect in quite a few ATMs, even those in busy business areas. Till Friday evening for instance, among the handful of ATMs operational on the Fergusson College Road, only the Axis Bank ATM dispensed Rs100 notes to customers. "Hopefully I will have some luck here. I have had to travel far and wide for change against my Rs2000 note, which I withdrew about two days ago," said Suraj Sharma, a student. A few bank officials surmise that smaller notes could be made available in larger numbers from Tuesday. "We are managing with the stock of Rs100 notes which were deposited by our customers before the announcement of demonetisation by the Prime Minister. We also took possession of a stock of Rs100 notes a few days ago. Our Mumbai zonal office did receive, and in turn disburse, Rs500 notes among the branches under its jurisdiction, but the CBD Belapur zonal office, which handles branches for the rest of the state, has yet to receive those notes in adequate numbers. We expect more smaller denomination notes next week, after which we can make them available at our branches," said Rajkiran Bhoir, general manager of marketing and publicity at the city-based Bank of Maharashtra. This view was shared by another city-based bank, which expressed belief that more small denomination notes are expected in Pune next week. "Rs100 and Rs500 notes are being made available by the Reserve Bank of India from Monday," said Vikrant Ponkshe, managing director of Cosmos Bank. Banks to be closed today With Saturday being the fourth Saturday of the month, banks will remain closed. Till late on Friday, the RBI made no announcement to the contrary.

- After Akhilesh's free smartphones, Maya offers cash dole for students
Saharanpur: A week after Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav announced a scheme to provide the poor with free smartphones if Samajwadi Party wins the 2017 assembly polls, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati upped the ante by promising cash dole to eligible poor families. "No free laptops or mobiles will be given, instead cash will be given to the poor students if we come into power. With the money they will be given, they can purchase things as per their needs," the BSP chief said addressing a mega gathering at Cosmos Ground in Saharanpur, the venue of PM Narendra Modi's rally on May 26, on Sunday. Making it clear that she will not make false promises of providing unemployment allowance to youth after coming to power, the former UP CM said, "BSP will endeavour to secure jobs for qualified youth in the state and not make fake promises like Modi to give jobs to the youth." With some senior BSP leaders deserting the party in the recent past, party supremo Mayawati said it will have "no impact" on the "growing mass support" of the party. Clearing air on the allegations that poll tickets are sold in the party, Mayawati said the party considers several issues before giving tickets to capable candidates. "BSP is a social movement besides being a political party and it has to take into account several issues before giving tickets. Some sitting MLAs and MPs are also denied tickets," she said. "If one party member leaves us to go and join the opposition party, it is his individual decision. You will never see people leaving the party in groups," she said. Hitting out at BJP, which opened its door to two of BSP's main deserters Swami Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak recently, Mayawati said it only proved the "bad shape" of the saffron party in Uttar Pradesh. "It has become public knowledge that there is dearth of candidates in the BJP, like it had in Bihar. So it (BJP) was giving tickets to the new entrants who have been wooed by 'misusing' the central government, especially the ones leaving BSP," she said. Alleging that other political parties are trying to create a controversy over the baseless allegations levelled by unscrupulous leaders with vested interests, Mayawati said, "Selling of tickets takes place in other parties, but it doesn't happen in our party." Taking a dig at media, the former UP CM said TV channels with anti-Dalit mindset have been telecasting this row day and night to tarnish the party's image. "They (media), however, project these reports as if BSP is going to suffer huge losses but it has been seen that all this has no effect and the party keeps gaining ground." There were different accounts on the number of people who attended the mega rally. While the party leaders claimed as many as 5 lakh had attended the event – five times more than the number of people at PM Modi's rally at the same venue on May 26, police sources said the number could not have been more than a lakh. Taking a dig at law and order situation in the state, Mayawati said, "Such a time has come that cows and dogs of powerful leaders belonging to SP and BJP are found by the state police, but arresting the criminals of victims of crime in UP becomes really difficult for them. A state government under which the safety of animals is considered higher than that of humans can be termed 'Junglee Sarkaar." Making it clear that BSP was not against the upper caste people, the party chief said, "BSP has nothing against upper caste people. If it was so, why would we have appointed upper cast people in higher posts? We are a party for the benefit of all and thus go by our motto 'Sarvajan Hitaye, Sarvajan Sukhaye' (benefit of all and happiness of all)."

Sci fi/Fantasy image byEmily Oldroyd
So, I asked my boyfriend what I should paint next."Hammers," he said."I can't just paint hammers," I replied. "I'm a fantasy artist. Just painting 'hammers' would be boring.""Then paint a unicorn holding a hammer," he suggested, bizarrely, and thus, Dave the unicorn was born.Dave isn't too bright, or perhaps he just has some very un-unicorn-like ideas. In the economic slump hitting the kingdom, he decided he ought to get a job, but nobody really wants to hire a unicorn blacksmith (this being his chosen profession) since they aren't very good at wielding the tools. Therefore, Dave has to run a dodgy, backwater blacksmith's shop. It's not very popular yet, but he's sure that as soon as everyone finds out about it, the crowds will flock.Either that, or he's a pacifist and is going about ending war in the least efficient manner possible.

Something a little bit different for Elfwood, I think. -Intended- to be infuriating, pointless, and generally very bad, but hopefully amusing too. Now, go and meet Lindsey, and enter her world, which is much like ours. Except it has zombies and stuff.
Chapter 2, and the rather bemusing heroine has a clever plan to get out of what could have been certain death. Oh, and you get to meet the boss.

Oh! I love your quilt especially all those gorgeous colours!!! Beautiful!!
Love your quilt and blog, Jessica! Beautiful colors and quilting!
Where can I see a large collection (& possible purchase) of Lynette Anderson's fabrics? They are great!
I am with your son — love color. Love the quilt, and it really is a happy quilt.
Spectacular! This captures your love of color and zest for life!
For one block I used a drunkards path ruler from Bloc-Loc for the curved parts ( 4×4″ finished) and made 4 of these. I cut one ( cute bear) centre square of 2.5″ . Then I cut 4 rectangles of 2″ x 2.5″ , which will be closest to the centre square. And then I cut 4 rectangles measuring 3′ x 2.5″. This will give you a 10″ finished block. This quilt has 5 blocks in every shade my son picked. He picked 7 colours so we ended up with 35 blocks. He wanted the quilt to be happy and bright so the more colour the better. We made up a sashing by cutting strips WOF and then sewing these together in rainbow order. After pressing the rainbow panel I cut them into strips of 2.5″ width. The panel was the same length as the block of course. To make it all flow better and tone down the rainbow overload I added a 2.5″ (cute bear) square in between the strips . My son loves his quilt! For backing I used those adorable bears from Cotton + Steel and used one of the Black and White 2017 prints as my binding. I had some drunkards path quarters left over, so I made half circles and with them I made scallops. I added them to the back, just for fun. If you are on instagram or Facebook please check out the RJR Fabrics post about this quilt. You could win yourself a luscious bundle of fabric ! Do yourself a favour if you want to be inspired by everything solids …. go to Quilt with Love and see what everyone has been making . You will find so many wonderful projects and new blogs to read and fun ideas to be had… your lunch break will have to be extended! Thank you Rachael from RJR Fabrics for answering my fabric questions and giving me the go ahead to do what ever I wanted to do, with what ever fabric I would pick. For the stats….

Abstract A micromechanically-based constitutive model for high density polyethylene (HDPE) in small deformations is presented. The microstructure of HDPE consists of closely packed crystalline lamellae separated by layers of amorphous polymer. Here a semi-crystalline polymer is modeled as an aggregate of randomly oriented composite inclusions, each consisting of a stack of parallel lamellae with their adjacent amorphous layers. For the amorphous phase, the viscoelastic constitutive behavior is modeled, assuming a polydomain liquid-crystal-like structure and micromechanical parameters such as the elastic constant of distortion and the persistent length of polymer molecules are used. The viscoplastic behavior at yield is incorporated through the constitutive modeling of the crystalline lamellae. Constitutive equations for the composite inclusions are proposed and different homogenization schemes for the overall properties discussed. The intermediate phase linking the lamellae and the amorphous layers is assumed to form a surface layer around each lamella and its role in the yield behavior of HDPE is discussed.

Sloka 18 from Dancing with Siva
What Is God Siva's Pure Consciousness?
Parashakti is pure consciousness, the substratum or primal substance flowing through all form. It is Siva's inscrutable presence, the ultimate ground and being of all that exists, without which nothing could endure. Aum.
Parashakti, "Supreme Energy," is called by many names: silence, love, being, power and all-knowingness. It is Satchidananda--existence-consciousness-bliss--that pristine force of being which is undifferentiated, totally aware of itself, without an object of its awareness. It radiates as divine light, energy and knowing. Out of Parasiva ever comes Parashakti, the first manifestation of mind, superconsciousness or infinite knowing. God Siva knows in infinite, all-abiding, loving superconsciousness. Siva knows from deep within all of His creations to their surface. His Being is within every animate and inanimate form. Should God Siva remove His all-pervasive Parashakti from any one or all of the three worlds, they would crumble, disintegrate and fade away. Siva's Shakti is the sustaining power and presence throughout the universe. This unbounded force has neither beginning nor end. Verily, it is the Divine Mind of Lord Siva. The Vedas say, "He is God, hidden in all beings, their inmost soul who is in all. He watches the works of creation, lives in all things, watches all things. He is pure consciousness, beyond the three conditions of nature." Aum Namah Sivaya.
Lesson 18 from Living with Siva
Brahmacharya In Family Life
The observance of brahmacharya is perhaps the most essential aspect of a sound, spiritual culture. This is why in Saivism, boys and girls are taught the importance of remaining celibate until they are married. This creates healthy individuals, physically, emotionally and spiritually, generation after generation. There is a mystical reason. In virgin boys and girls, the psychic nadis, the astral nerve currents that extend out into and through their aura, have small hooks at the end. When a boy and girl marry, the hooks straighten out and the nadis are tied one to another, and they actually grow together. If the first sexual experience is premarital and virginity is broken, the hooks at the end of the nadis also straighten out, but there is nothing to grow onto if the partners do not marry. Then, when either partner marries someone else, the relationship is never as close as when a virgin boy and girl marry, because their nadis don't grow together in the same way. In cases such as this, they feel the need for intellectual stimuli and emotional stimuli to keep the marriage going.
Youth ask, "How should we regard members of the opposite sex?" Do not look at members of the opposite sex with any idea of sex or lust in mind. Do not indulge in admiring those of the opposite sex, or seeing one as more beautiful than another. Boys must foster the inner attitude that all young women are their sisters and all older women are their mother. Girls must foster the inner attitude that all young men are their brothers and all older men are their father. Do not attend movies that depict the base instincts of humans, nor read books or magazines of this nature. Above all, avoid pornography on the Internet, on TV and in any other media.
To be successful in brahmacharya, one naturally wants to avoid arousing the sex instincts. This is done by understanding and avoiding the eight successive phases: fantasy, glorification, flirtation, lustful glances, secret love talk, amorous longing, rendezvous and finally intercourse. Be very careful to mix only with good company--those who think and speak in a cultured way--so that the mind and emotions are not led astray and vital energies needed for study used up. Get plenty of physical exercise. This is very important, because exercise sublimates your instinctive drives and directs excess energy and the flow of blood into all parts of the body.
Brahmacharya means sexual continence, as was observed by Mahatma Gandhi in his later years and by other great souls throughout life. There is another form of sexual purity, though not truly brahmacharya, followed by faithful family people who have a normal sex life while raising a family. They are working toward the stage when they will take their brahmacharya vrata after sixty years of age. Thereafter they would live together as brother and sister, sleeping in separate bedrooms. During their married life, they control the forces of lust and regulate instinctive energies and thus prepare to take that vrata. But if they are unfaithful, flirtatious and loose in their thinking through life, they will not be inclined to take the vrata in later life.
Faithfulness in marriage means fidelity and much more. It includes mental faithfulness, non-flirtatiousness and modesty toward the opposite sex. A married man, for instance, should not hire a secretary who is more magnetic or more beautiful than his wife. Metaphysically, in the perfect family relationship, man and wife are, in a sense, creating a one nervous system for their joint spiritual progress, and all of their nadis are growing together over the years. If they break that faithfulness, they break the psychic, soul connections that are developing for their personal inner achievements. If one or the other of the partners does have an affair, this creates a psychic tug and pull on the nerve system of both spouses that will continue until the affair ends and long afterwards. Therefore, the principle of the containment of the sexual force and mental and emotional impulses is the spirit of brahmacharya, both for the single and married person.
Sutra 18 of the Nandinatha Sutras
Seeking Inner Light And Stillness
Those who live with Siva attend close to His mystery. While others seek "name and fame, sex and money," they seek the clear white light within, find refuge in the stillness and hold Truth in the palm of their hand. Aum.
Lesson 18 from Merging with Siva
Making Wise Decisions
Life is a series of decisions also. One decision builds into another. To make a good decision, we have to again bring our total awareness to the eternity of the moment. If we project ourselves into the future to try to make a decision, we do not make a decision with wisdom. If we project ourselves into the past and in that way formulate our decisions, again they are not wise decisions, for they are decisions made through the powers of the intellectual or the instinctive area of the mind. The only good decisions come to us when we hold the consciousness of the eternity of the moment and go within ourself for the answer.
The best thing in making a decision is: when in doubt, do nothing. Have the subject matter so clearly in mind, so well thought out, that soon the answer will be self-evident to you. There will be just no other way to go. Good, positive decisions bring good, positive action and, of course, positive reactions. Decisions that are not well worked out--we jump into experiential patterns haphazardly or emotionally--bring reactions of an emotional nature that again have to be lived through until we cease to be aware of them and experience them emotionally.
Each time we have a decision to make, it's a marvelous test in this classroom of experience. We can make a good decision if we approach it in the eternity of the moment. And, of course, there are no bad decisions. If we make a decision that's different than what we would make in the eternity of the moment--we make it through the instinctive area of the mind or the intellectual area of the mind--we're not sure, totally, of ourself. We do not have enough information to make a good, positive decision.
So, when in doubt in making a decision that's the time to know we have to collect up more information, think about it more. Each decision is the foundation for the next series of experiences. When you are in a sequential series of experiential patterns, you are not making decisions at that time. Only when your experiential pattern has come to an end, and you're ready for a new set of experiences in certain areas of your life, those are the times when you make new decisions. Weigh carefully each decision, because that is the rudder that guides your ship through the whole pattern of life.
Think it over carefully. Go in for intuitive guidance. And nobody knows better than yourself, your own superconscious being, what is to be the next set of experiential patterns for you to go through in your quest for enlightenment. It's all based on decisions. Don't expect someone to make decisions for you. They are second-hand, not the best. Others maybe can give a little bit of advice or supply a different perspective or added information for you to make a better decision. But the decision you make yourself in any matter is the most positive, most powerful one, and should be the right one. Do it from the eternity of the moment. That is the state of awareness to hold.

A contentious issue it ruffled Kenny Dalglish's feathers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday when Alan Shearer was shown a yellow card by Uriah Rennie for suggesting that he had enough on his plate without having to put up with illegal treatment.
Shearer himself expressed some confusion about this - "You can't always be sure about what's going on," he said - but Dalglish was more forthright. "They [the referees] are on dangerous ground," he said after Newcastle's hard-fought 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
Dalglish makes the point that there is a fine line between players attempting to con referees and the frequent need to take evasive action. "Unless we get this right it could lead to a big problem," he added.
If more inclined to support players in these matters, and risking a charge of pompous appraisal, little fault could be found personally with Rennie's performance.
For quite a while Shearer has exploited respect for his status in the game to persuade officials that he is more sinned against than sinning, employing manoeuvres to win free-kicks when he is himself fouling.
Indeed one of the advantages England felt they would have in the World Cup was Shearer's cleverness in this department.
In a hard game there is not a great deal wrong with this but Shearer cannot complain when scrutiny goes against him and officials refuse to be bullied.
Not that England's captain was the only one to come under Rennie's close attention. Pierluigi Casiraghi was shown the yellow card for taking an unnecessary tumble, Gianfranco Zola for diving in the penalty area and Franck Leboeuf for time-wasting. Not a bad afternoon's work by one of the Premiership's better referees.
An even better afternoon for Stuart Pearce, who was not only the oldest player out there but one of the few who is not spoken of in multiples of seven figures.
At a rough calculation the players on view cost pounds 80m in total but only Zola came close to matching Pearce's contribution. Centre-back is not a role with which Pearce is greatly familiar but it was no problem for an outstanding professional.
There was a heroic quality to much of Pearce's work, typified by the desperate and almost successful attempt he made to prevent Celestine Babayaro giving Chelsea the lead in the 23rd minute after Zola had cleverly set up Gustavo Poyet.
Zola's craft and industry provided Chelsea with their best opportunities, but, as Gianluca Vialli admitted afterwards, they are still short of being technically and tactically efficient.
The frenzy of English football makes it difficult to establish changes in tempo. "We have to learn the importance of taking the foot off the accelerator," Vialli said, "to play at different rhythms."
Tell that to supporters who demand an urgent game while failing to appreciate the effect of constant urgency on cohesion.
Deployed in front of Chelsea's back four when making his home debut for them on Saturday, the World Cup's best defender Marcel Desailly, of France, saw more of the ball in the air than throughout the finals.
Praised by Dalglish for the effort they put in, Newcastle's favoured ploy was the early long pass to either Shearer or Andreas Andersson. If not the most appealing method it did bring an equaliser two minutes before half-time when Shearer headed on for Andersson to make the most of a slip by Michael Duberry to squeeze the ball past Ed De Goey.
After that Newcastle needed all Pearce's stout resistance and organisational skills as well as Shay Given's shot-stopping.
The introduction of Norberto Solano for Andersson did however give Newcastle a sharper edge and more was seen of Shearer. Kept in check for most of the game he suddenly made space for himself to hit the far post with a shot that rebounded into De Goey's grateful embrace.
Dalglish was asked whether he feels optimistic. "I was optimistic last season," he smiled.
Goals: Babayaro (23) 1-0; Andersson (43) 1-1.
Chelsea (4-4-2): De Goey; Ferrer, Duberry, Leboeuf, Le Saux (Petrescu, 58); Poyet (Flo, 73), Desailly, Di Matteo, Babayaro; Zola, Casiraghi. Substitutes not used: Lambourde, Newton, Hitchcock (gk).

The Legislation Governing Health And Safety Construction Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The Health and Safety Authority offer employees and employers an extensive range of occupational health and safety legislations and also administer and enforce the associated codes of practice. The European Construction Industry Federation along with Irish acts produces the present legislative requirements for health and safety in Ireland
As the construction industry has one of the worst occupational safety and health records it is important to take on this topic and research it with a broad perspective in relating to legislations and the importance of safety in the construction industry.
This chapter opens in giving adequate information on where European based legislations came into play for us as it gives a background of te laws being introduced. Section two then looks into our national based legislations and what is required in our country today. Section three openly dives into the individuals tasks involved in keeping a project safe from the design stage through to the construction stage. Section four moves onto looking at safety plans and necessary safety cards, as Section five switches the attention onto the General Advertising laws. It gives some standard obligations which must be considered as the chapter then concludes with section six giving concluding remarks.
5.1 background to Health and Safety legislation internationally
The first European directives relating to health and safety in the workplace were decided on the foundation of the general market administration provisions. The reason this was is because there was an absence of a certain legislative capability in the agreement in the area of Health and Safety in the workplace until the mid-1980s. Up to then the occupational health and safety was looked at as an add-on to market agreements and the economic policies of the European Economic Community. (European Agency for Health & Safety at Work)
A gigantic step forward was the introduction of the Single European Act 1987 as it brought forward new legal provisions on social policy which aimed at improvement, particularly in the working sector, relating to the health and safety of employees. By adding this provision into the agreement, the position and value of safe working conditions was made clear. In addition, the development of social chapter approved the European Commission to endorse social cooperation between employers and labour representatives at a European level.
The European Framework Directive on Safety and Health at Work (Directive 89/391 EEC) was accepted in 1989 and was a considerable breakthrough in improving Health and Safety at in the workplace. It assures minimum Health and Safety necessities all over Europe while Member States are have permission to keep or develop more severe measures.
Directive 89/391 - OSH "Framework Directive ". An introduction of procedures was brought about on the 12th June 1989 to reassure improvements in the health and safety of workers in their workplace - "Framework Directive". In 1989 certain requirements of the Framework Directive brought about substantial innovation which included some of the following:
(European Agency for Health & Safety at Work)
The Directive aims to establish an equal level of safety and health for the benefit of all workers (the only exceptions are domestic workers and certain public and military services).
The Directive obliges employers to take appropriate preventive measures to make work safer and healthier.
Table 5.1.1 Salient Requirements from Directive 89/391 (European Agency for Health & Safety at Work)
5.2 National Health and Safety Legislation
Health and Safety in the construction work is governed mainly by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations, 2005. It should also be noted that construction is also subject to the requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 1995 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Genera Application) Regulations, 1993 as well as other acts such as Noise Regulations, Asbestos Regulations and Chemical Agents Regulation.
When relating to construction health and safety, which is carried out in section 19 of the Safety statement, all employers are obliged to identify hazards in their workplace under which is under his/her control. They are required to assess the risks which are present and caused by those hazards and must have possession of a printed assessment (which is known and referred to the Act as a "risk assessment") of the risks to the safety, health and welfare at work of their employees which includes the safety, health and welfare of any individual worker or group of workers who may be subjected to anything out of the ordinary.
Section 19 in the Safety statement is based on the risk assessment which requires all employers including small contractors to carry the assessment out. Irrespective of the size of the company, most features of the regulations are applicable to all contractors and must be obeyed by all to guarantee the safety everyone including the workers along with the general public. (Oireachtas - Irish Statute Book)
5.3 General Duties
In general, small contractors (which consist of 20 employees or less) will follow the following regarding the health and safety in their sector:
Should maintain and provide a safe workplace and also provide safe equipment along with machinery.
Their workplace should be managed to provide a safe and healthy environment for employees.
They should ensure that the risks are assessed and an adequate safety statement is put forward which is updated to standard.
They are obliged to provide and uphold good welfare facilities for workers.
They should have prepared in advance procedures which take care of emergency situations.
They should provide training and information to employees.
It is important that they report serious accidents to the Health and Safety Authority
Table 5.1.2 Salient Requirements for Small Contractors (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
5.3.1 Duties of Client at Design Stage
Responsibilities for Health and Safety begin with the client. There is a requirement of the client to employ a project supervisor to oversee and co-ordinate health and safety matters during the two distinctive stages of the project which are
The Design Stage
The Construction Stage
These appointments should be in writing and with the written consent of the relevant parties. It is vitally important that clients make enquiries about the Health and Safety competence and the Health and Safety Training of the Project Supervisors appointed.
The client can appoint an alternative project supervisor for both of the stages, or could make one selection for the entire project. If capable of undertaking the role, the client may choose to appoint himself/herself as project supervisor for either or both the stages.
(Oireachtás - Irish Statute Book)
5.3.2 Duties of Project Supervisor at Design Stage
The core duties of the project supervisor appointed for the design stage are as follows.
To take account of the general principles of prevention during the design of the project and when estimating the period of time for completion of the project
To co-ordinate the other designers so as to ensure that they also take account of the general principles of prevention
To take account of any existing safety file or safety and health plan
To prepare a preliminary safety and health plan for the project supervisor at construction stage
To provide the project supervisor (construction stage) with any necessary information which is available and needs to be included in the safety file?
Table 22.214.171.124 Salient Duties of a Project Supervisor at the Design Stage (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
The Project Supervisor at the design stage should keep full documentation of how the above detailed duties have been complied with. She/he will need to carry out an assessment of the general design to identify any particular risks that are likely to arise. It is not reasonably practicable to eliminate or reduce these risks by altering the design of the project. The supervisor (at design stage) needs to be satisfied that these risks can be effectively controlled during construction.
A Safety & Health Plan must be arranged on a preliminary basis at the design stage and must provide the following information
General description of project
Estimated time scale of the project
Work involving any particular risks
Other work activities taking place on the site
5.3.3 Duties of the Contractor at Construction Stage
Health and safety in the workplace should be the mixed efforts of employers, workers and the general society to improve the well-being and health and safety of the people in our work. In order that a contractor in the construction sector has a successful project, it can improve upon by the basis of his/her employees working in a safe and healthy environment. The health and safety policy of the contractor should be influenced by all activities, which even include selecting the people, equipment and materials. The contractor should also look at the way work is undertaken as well as how he/she designs and provides goods and services. Writing up a statement of their policy should show the organisation and preparations for applying and checking health and safety standards as it should show the workers, and anyone else, the hazards which should be identified along with risk assessment. The core duties of the project supervisor should include: (Oireachtás - Irish Statute Book)
a co-operation with the supervisor of the project within the construction stage.
be to offer a copy of any applicable safety statement which has been prepared that is likely to come into effect of any safety, health or welfare areas of any worker on the work premises.
providing the supervisor of the project in the construction stage with adequate information relating to any accident or hazardous occurrence in which the contractor has a requirement to give notification report on.
providing the supervisor of the project, in writing, with the adequate and relevant information in order to prepare a safety file.
complying with instructions of the supervisor of the project for the design process along with the instructions through to the construction stage.
bringing all relevant information to the employers of any such rules which apply to them in the safety and health plan.
Table 184.108.40.206 Salient Duties of a Project Supervisor at Construction Stage (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
5.4 Safety and Health Plan
The Safety and Health Plan is concerned with the provisions in place for the management and co-ordination of health and safety matters on site. The plan set on a initial basis by the project supervisor (at design stage) must be developed prior to the publication of work by the project supervisor (construction stage) into a safety and health plan for the construction stage. The size and detail of the plan will depend on the size and the nature of the project.
The Safety and Health Plan must address the specific risks that are likely to arise and stipulate control measures for dealing with the risks. It must also address the common measures for matters such as access to site, the movement of vehicles, sharing of scaffolding and other equipment, as well as additional hazards likely to arise. The plan must also take account other work activities which take place on site, such as the clients activities.
In addition the plan must outline the provisions in place for ensuring co-ordination and co-operation between contractors. It is extremely important that the plan is specific to the site and reflects the dangers and the control measures specific to the particular site. (Oireachtas - Irish Statute Book)
5.4.1Awareness and skills certification
Along with the Safety and Health Plan it is essential that all contractors or people who work under an employer's direct control and work on a construction site will ensure that every person -
is in possession of a valid safety awareness registration card
is in possession of an appropriate valid construction skills registration card
has received site-specific safety induction instruction
Table 126.96.36.199 Tradesman Requirements (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
Upon the date in which a worker commences work on site, the contractor is obliged to ensure that the worker is in possession of -
(i) the valid registration card
(ii) other relevant certificates and documentation required under the relevant statutory provisions.
Table 220.127.116.11 Requirements on Site (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
5.4.2 Employees
It should be acknowledged that health and safety is every person's business. Being a worker you are legally required to design and to protect you and the people you work with. You are required to obey the following guidelines -
(Oireachtas - Irish Statute Book)
Co-operate with an employer or other people to ensure that the health and safety law is implemented
Don't engage in improper conduct that will endanger you or anyone else
Attend health and safety training and correctly use any equipment at work
Use protective clothing and equipment provided (safety helmet, harness or any other personal protective equipment provided for the person's safety and health)
Report any dangerous practices or situations that you are aware of to an appropriate person
Don't interfere or misuse any safety equipment at your workplace
Table 184.108.40.206 Workers obligations on Site (www.irishstatutebook.ie)
5.5 General Principles of Advertising
The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) is considered to be a watchdog introduced by our government here in Ireland to ensure adequate standards are kept on par in relation to keeping advertising laws in place. To complete their work, the ASAI have a range of advertising laws, whose nature is very wide, and they keep these legislations on track in relation to proper delivery of advertising.
The Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland is a member of the EASA (European Advertising Standards Alliance) who bring 30 National European and Non-European organisations together along with 15 advertising and representing organisation industries in Europe. The EASE are based in Brussels, Belgium, and is a non-profit organisation.
The EASA is a sole authoritive voice of promoting self-regulation across the European Union for the assistance of consumer and business. The EASAs aims are to promote, support and spread self-regulation as well as improve best practice, take care of cross border complaints and offer information and research.
(European Advertising Standards Alliance)
Obligations which are involved
In order for advertising self-regulation to keep and further improve its part in making certain of the protection of the consumer, it must be acknowledged and accepted by Member States as paired to the existing laws. EASA carefully works with the European Commission and Parliament ensuring that new legislation which affects the advertising industry offers possibility for and gives acknowledgment to self-regulation.
When relating to codes which are in place regarding the communication and advertising skills which an organisation are obliged to follow relate to a list of General Rules. An insight into some of the salient rules are as follows:
They have duty to be legal, to be of decent nature, honest and truthful
They should be organised with a sense of obligation to consumers and society
They are obliged to respect the values of fair competition commonly acknowledged in business.
The codes should apply within the spirit of advertising as well as in the letter
Any marketing communication shouldn't bring advertising into disrespect
Principal responsibility for acknowledging the codes lie with the advertiser.
Table 5.5.1 Salient Codes relating to Advertising (European Advertising Standards Alliance)
The Codes cover a set of general instructions which are accompanied by additional necessities for specific sectors. Generally, the rules are intended to ensure that advertising communications are not misleading or generally offend.
An advertising communication which breaches the laws must be withdrawn or corrected as the media should refuse to distribute an advertising communication that fails in complying with code necessities. A member who does not accept ASAI judgments may be disciplined and may be subject to punishments which include charges and/or suspension from advertising.
(Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland)
5.6 Conclusion
A contractor who is responsible for a construction site workplace shall take all appropriate precautions to ensure that the site is safe and being deprived of any risk of injury to the health and safety of the people at work, taking into account numerous risks associated in such areas as the sites safety and access to construction sites, the protection from falling material and use of protective safety helmets, the installations of machinery and equipment, the lighting of work places along with numerous other risks involved.
Under the EU directives, every employer has responsibility for the health and safety of their employees. Directive 89/391 provides the general framework regarding health and safety management and risk assessment. In relating to this, employers have requirements to assess risks and hazards along with taking practical measures in protecting the health and safety their employees.
When relating to providing advertising in relation to the Health and Safety Campaigns, legislation also plays a huge role in order for the advert to stand out and follow all regulations. Every advertisement is obliged to follow the law in order not to mislead the viewer and all must be taken into consideration to ensure the laws are not breached.

It is not like Giants coach Jim Fassel to be so confident. He has not indicated that to be a part of his public persona in the six full seasons he has been in office. Yet now, as he begins his seventh, he is virtually brimming with optimism.
"I am excited and looking forward to the season," he said Wednesday. "This is the best part right now, starting it. I usually break the year into five parts -- the offseason, the draft and the minicamps, the regular season and the postseason. This is the best part."
With the opener scheduled against the St. Louis Rams, clearly one of the few preseason favorites in the NFC, Fassel detects a special time rushing toward his team.
"Both teams feel good about their chances," he added. "I think both teams feel they can be very good and that they can win their division championships. I think that way about our team, and I'm sure Mike (Martz, the Rams' coach) is just as confident about his team."
Fassel then dove into the required praise-of-the-other-team syntax, praising the Rams. "St. Louis is going to be outstanding," he said. "Their defense is vastly improved and their offense scares you all the time. I'm glad this one is going to be played at home (in Giants Stadium) with our crowd."
The coach is still concerned, although not deeply, about the depth along his offensive line and, for that matter, two of the starters on the five-man unit. There is a new right tackle (Ian Allen) and a new right guard (rookie David Diehl), and then no significant depth behind the starters.
In point of fact, there are no backup guards, although free agent rookie tackle Jeff Roehl insists he is a guard. "I played 31 games in college (at Northwestern) at guard and none at tackle," he said. "I think if one of those guys gets hurt, I'm the one who will play."
Fassel tried to explain his concern. "I am not worried about the starters, even the two new guys," he said. "Of course they'll have their hands full for a while. Allen has never started and Diehl is a rookie. But I liked how they played all summer. That kid (Diehl) is a natural football player. He isn't intimidated and he isn't nervous. He just knows how to play, he's tough and he's smart."
Diehl was a fifth-round pick from Illinois (he and Roehl have been friends since high school) and won the starting job the second week of training camp from Tam Hopkins, who didn't survive the final cuts. His father, Jerry, died two weeks ago and Diehl took a few days off. Then he returned. "I know my dad," he said. "I am sure he would say, like, 'yeah, David, this was nice, but now get the hell back on the field and play some football.' So I plan to do that."
Then he said the kind of thing that has endeared him to Fassel. "You know, this is just football," he said, "and no matter where you play it, football is football."
SERIES HISTORY: 36th meeting. St. Louis leads, 25-10, which includes games from 1938 through 1995 as the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants snapped a five-game St. Louis winning streak with a 26-21 victory last season in St. Louis. But the Rams have still won seven of the last nine meetings.
--TE Jeremy Shockey, clearly under protective care by the team to prevent him from spewing forth too many more sensational comments ranging from politics to sex to the other teams on the schedule, has now joined the Kerry Collins-Michael Strahan class as "will meet with the press once a day."
Well, Wednesday was his day, but Fassel still appeared nervous on the eve of the season opener, and so his "press conference" was pushed off for an hour or so, at Fassel's request. "He has lifting to do, and he's being fitted for a new flak jacket (for his cracked rib) and he has a meeting," the coach explained. "But he will be available later."
That golden moment occurred shortly before 2:30 p.m. ET, when Shockey met a cluster of reporters in the hall outside the team locker room. His press conference lasted 25 seconds. "I feel definitely like I've been out," he said. "I'm doing the best I can and I'll try to do the best I can. Thanks."
--Undrafted rookie Jeff Roehl, a tackle/guard, said he had "more than a dozen" offers to sign after the draft but he chose the Giants for a variety of reasons. "They always seemed to have no prejudice against undrafted rookies," he said. "Lots of them make the team, including a bunch of offensive linemen (guard Rich Seubert, center Chris Bober, tackle Ian Allen), and I wanted to play for (offensive line coach) Jim McNally."
McNally, a guru among collegiate offensive line coaches, conducts several offseason clinics and has produced a few coaching films. "One of my coaches had one of his tapes and I studied from it," Roehl said. "We used his coaching techniques in college, too."
--Reserve OT Jeffrey Hatch, last year's third-round draft pick who missed the entire season due to back surgery, is the first replacement tackle behind Allen and Luke Petitgout. He played the full final preseason game in Baltimore and was still beaming. "Man, it was like old times," said the Penn graduate. "I played the whole game and got to hit some guy I didn't know and got into the flow and the rhythm. I felt sore, and that was great!"
McNally's grade on Hatch was almost perfect. "He said I didn't miss a single assignment," Hatch said, "but I didn't follow through on some blocks. It wasn't perfect, but I don't think he (McNally) ever gives a perfect grade."
BY THE NUMBERS: 5 -- new offensive linemen among the eight kept on the final 53-man roster; three of them are rookies (guard/tackle Jeff Roehl, starting guard David Diehl, center/guard Wayne Lucier). The other two are Ian Allen and Hatch.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I love Kyle Turley. We get along great and we always have a lot of fun when we play each other." - DE Michael Strahan, sarcastically commenting on the bitter rivalry between the two players, which resumes Sunday at Giants Stadium.
Any plans the Giants might have had about moving second-year linebacker Nick Greisen into the middle, either as a replacement for veteran Mike Barrow or as a fourth LB in a 3-4 scheme, are probably on hold. Greisen (pulled hamstring) is the only one of eight Giants on the league-mandated injury report not to be listed as probable. He is termed questionable, which gives him a 50-50 chance of playing.
There had been some thought given to unsettling the Rams with a different defensive scheme, but moving five and six defensive backs in and out will probably result in the same chaos.
--Defensive end Michael Strahan gets to go up against an old adversary in Rams right tackle Kyle Turley. The two hooked up several times when Turley was with the New Orleans Saints, and many of the encounters were bitter. "He's the dirtiest player in the league," Strahan said of Turley. "Everybody knows about him."
The right defensive end, Kenny Holmes, just laughed when approached on the subject. "I've got my own problems," he said. "They are all called Orlando Pace (the 6-7, 335-pound left tackle)."
--The surprising emergence of second year undrafted free agent running back Delvin Joyce as the second in line to Tiki Barber might result in a monumental embarrassment for the first-round draft pick of 2000, Ron Dayne. He may be listed as one of the Game Inactives for Sunday; on the other hand, the same fate may be in store for 33-year-old Dorsey Levens, signed as an Unrestricted Free Agent. It is possible to put both down because return specialist Brian Mitchell is the team's emergence tailback.
Personnel/Injury Notes:
--TE Jeremy Shockey missed the final two preseason games with a cracked rib and while he will play, expect him to do so with a flak jacket that could impede movement.
--LDE Michael Strahan (broken small toe, right foot) missed all four preseason games but is scheduled to start vs. the Rams, and says that he could have played all four if they were regular season games.
--RCB Will Allen (bruised shoulder) will play; he was kept out only as a precaution by Fassel in the finale against the Ravens.
--OLT Luke Petitgout (foot) will play, and is listed as probable.
--C Chris Bober (bruised ribs) was held out of the finale only as a precaution.
GAME PLAN: Fassel insists the way to beat the Rams is to keep the offense on the bench, which is not likely considering the Giants' offense is newly-designed to be far more explosive.
So he says the next best plan is to "disrupt (Rams QB Kurt Warner's) timing, manhandle his receivers and don't let him get settled into a rhythm. Look for the Giants to use multiple blitzing moves and to float between zone and man-to-man coverage, all designed to harass and confuse Warner.
The Giants, for their part offensively, will attempt to exploit two new cornerbacks, and since the Rams have moved into a 3-4 defense, the four linebackers will be shown bait-and-switch formations and play fakes.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: LDE Michael Strahan, who has had 33.5 sacks in the last two years, vs. Rams' ORT Kyle Turley, an old adversary from New Orleans. Strahan has frequently handled Turley with ease.
Giants' WRs Amani Toomer and Ike Hilliard vs. the Rams' new set of corners, Travis Fisher and Jerametrius Butler. Toomer had a spectacular camp and a great 2002 season; Hilliard has returned after missing the final nine games with a dislocated shoulder.
INJURY IMPACT: There should be no impact on the Giants or what they plan to do since none of their players are seriously injured. Only reserve MLB Nick Greisen is listed as questionable.

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was absolutely fantastic. We spent both Christmas and Christmas Eve at our house. Christmas Eve my guys family came over for apps and sliders which was a great way to have dinner without worrying about cooking all day. Then my family came over Christmas morning and I made a breakfast casserole and we just hung out and played games. It was awesome! We didn't buy any gifts for each other (except kids of course), and it was great not having to worry about that aspect. It really was awesome! And we didn't have to drive anywhere! : )
The L'Oreal Collection Privee collection landed at my Fred Meyer a couple weeks ago, and it includes 5 nude polishes made/inspired by 5 celebrity's. I only bought two which seemed interesting to me. The weird thing about these.....it looks like different polishes were offered earlier this fall under the same names, but different colors, and also different bottles. Hmm....
This first one is Frieda's Nude, which was inspired by Freida Pinto. It's a metallic nude which was quite flattering on me. Might not be a color everyone would like, but I quite like it.
Next up is Eva's Nude inspired by Eva Longoria. It's a typical nude, but had a bit of shimmer in the bottle which did get lost on the nail. But that's ok, cause it's a nice nude.
Anybody get cool stuff for Christmas? My favorite present? These slippers! So cute!

Shorewood warned about debt payments
Without referendum, payments would need annual approval
Shorewood - The Shorewood School Board's recent decision to authorize the issuance of about $6 million in bond debt without a referendum, in order to fund energy efficiency improvements for the district, could still end up coming to voters for a final say.
In its meeting on Monday, the School Board heard comments from former board member Emily Koczela, who warned the board on the dangers of borrowing such a large sum without first seeking a referendum vote.
"In the structure you've chosen, you are legally required to reauthorize this debt payment every single year for the next 15 years in a separate vote," said Koczela, who serves as director of finance for the Brown Deer School District.
"And if a future board refuses to pass that vote, which they are entirely entitled to do, the debt will still have to be paid but it will appear in Fund 10 (the general fund)," Koczela added, "where it will compete directly with salaries, benefits and any other student needs."
The decision to incur nonreferendum debt also could negatively impact the district's bond rating, Koczela said. Alternately, funding the project through referendum debt would not change the net cost to the district or impact on the tax base, she added, while offering a more firm guarantee of debt repayment each year.
School Board members indicated they would be willing to discuss the matter further with Koczela.
The board on Sept. 11, following a public hearing, approved entering into the $6 million energy savings agreement with Honeywell. Business Services Director Mark Boehlke said there is a 30-day period following the approval in which voters could choose to petition for a referendum. If that does not occur, the district has the authority to borrow the funds without a referendum after that time.
The work to be completed by Honeywell will include a number of energy efficiency projects, such as lighting, plumbing and ventilation system upgrades.
Boehlke said that since the district first began the process of working with Honeywell to evaluate the energy efficiency of the district about a year and a half ago, the matter has been thoroughly discussed and evaluated by the board.
The district plans to repay the debt over a 15-year period. Boehlke said the energy savings achieved through the project will be used toward the repayment of the debt. The financing plan for repayment of the debt will keep the tax levy stable for the next six years, he added, at which time additional debt will fall off the district's books.
Boehlke said a new bipartisan law allows school districts to exceed revenue limits for energy savings projects.
"A number of school districts have done this, and it sounds like a lot of districts are looking into it now, too," Boehlke said.
