Two weeks ago my last set of exams came to an end, and the following weekend I graduated from UCLA. It is somewhat bittersweet to leave behind the lecture hall, admittedly a place that was sometimes a duty rather than a desire. But watching the lights on that world dim as it moves into the past, I can only feel grateful. Grateful for what I've come to know of empires and masterpieces, grateful most of all, for what I've seen. I started the Slide Projector Series as a way to catalog paintings I encountered in school, and while I have a list of those yet to be shared I hope to continue it beyond. L'Aube (At Dawn) (see detail) was only shown in class briefly, supporting a lecture on the 19th century city and social class. In it, grandeur fades to ruin in the growing dawn and the wretchedness of poverty and excess is somehow made beautiful.

What a beautiful painting that is, and how poignant too. Funny how paintings have a way of getting into our hearts. What a contrast between the working woman and the women on the gentleman's arms, showing that a woman's character and not her finery are what make her beautiful. The time old saying of "beauty is not skin deep".

Congratulations! I've been thinking of you lately, wondering if graduation was over. I hope you'll take a little time to pat yourself on the back, get some rest and enjoy life before taking on the next chapter. (Which reminds me - I have some resources to continue gathering for you...)

Hi Livy!
I really like "Watching the lights dim." It's very symbolic, of course, but also kind of true. When I've left places that have been dear or at least very familiar to me, I tend to dim the lights. It doesn't seem right to just switch them off, light to dark, and then leave. No time to absorb that way. You need proper closure. That takes time.
Congratulations on your graduation! I remember that sweet feeling... (It was only a year ago). So... What's next for you?!

Corporate art buying in North American has fallen off since the boom days of the 1970s and 1980s but even as the economy improves, some companies are buying less art but doing more to put their works out for the public to enjoy.
There are about 1,500 corporations in the world with art collections, with some of the largest held by banks and financial institutions, according to the International Directory of Corporate Art Collections.
Shirley Reiff Howarth, the editor of the directory, said that since 2000, the percentage of collections listed as "ongoing," or still being added to, has dropped from 55 percent to about 40 percent. Many corporations are limiting new purchases for new buildings, expansions or renovations.
"While the volume of buying has been reduced, educational programs have increased and the collections are used for more than simply enhancing the walls of the company and its image," Howarth said.
Bank of America, with over 30,000 artworks created from several mergers, has one of the largest collections in North America. Instead of buying new art, it focuses on the arts programs it has created, including Art In Our Communities, which has loaned fully curated exhibitions to 60 museums worldwide since 2008.
"This is something that resonates with the communities where we loan the exhibitions," said Allen Blevins, who oversees the bank's collection and art programs.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based company currently has 16 traveling exhibitions, representing 2,500 works. Among them is a show at the Museo del Novecento in Milan of Andy Warhol's most important silkscreen portfolios.
"The level of appreciation has become more about education," Howarth said.
At Johnson & Johnson's sprawling I.M. Pei-designed headquarters in New Brunswick, there are two galleries that feature continuous exhibitions, one for special and touring shows and the other for New Jersey artists. They are open to the public by appointment.
Like other corporations, the medical and pharmaceutical giant also lends its artworks. A drawing by Alice Aycock was featured in a retrospective of the artist at a Long Island museum and a George Segal sculpture was included in a major traveling exhibition.
It has also presented other programs based on employee or community interest, including a show on New Jersey actor, opera star and civil rights activist Paul Robeson that traveled to several U.S. cities.
At Neiman Marcus, one of the few luxury retailers to boast an art collection, the art-appreciation concept is extended to its customers by turning all 42 of its stores into galleries.
At its Paramus, N.J., store, a Roy Lichtenstein screenprint decorates the men's department and a whimsical display by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly dominates its store windows.
The retailer has about 3,500 pieces in its collection, which was started in 1951 with the commission of Alexander Calder's large-scale mobile "Mariposa," now on display at its Chicago store.
Neiman Marcus' in-house curator Julie Krosnick said the idea from the beginning was to give customers "something that is culturally stimulating and thought-provoking, something that is not about buying and selling merchandise."
On a recent shopping trip to the Paramus store, Esther Seiger of Monsey, N.Y., said, "You see all this pretty art and it puts you in a buying mood."

We're back with more of The Erotic Mind of Johnny Murdoc. This is Part 2 of his appearance on this show.
Ya know, I heard from so many people since last Monday who told me how much they enjoyed last week's show. The common thread to all the comments was how refreshing and inspiring it was to listen to this young man speak about his craft. I totally agree. In fact, I am of the mind that if the up and coming generation of erotica writers are as thoughtful and reflective as Johnny, then the future of the genre is in pretty good hands.

The European Union proposed a tax on financial transactions that could be collected worldwide as soon as the start of next year by the 11 nations that have so far signed up to participate.
The proposal, which marks a new stage in the EU's efforts to raise revenue from the financial industry, came under immediate fire from banking groups. The EU plan would harm the German economy as a whole, eight lobby groups that represent industries ranging from the commercial country's banks to skilled tradesmen said in a joint statement today.
The EU plan invokes "residence" and "issuance" ties to firms in participating countries, in a bid to prevent traders from escaping the levy by trading outside the tax's zone, according to the proposal unveiled by EU Tax Commissioner Algirdas Semeta today in Brussels. To escape the proposed tax entirely, firms in other nations would have to entirely cease financial-services business with the 11 nations involved, according to the EU.
With the proposal, the EU is trying to curb what it sees as a "patchwork" of local levies. Like a prior, failed proposal for all 27 EU nations, today's plan would set a rate of 0.1% for stock and bond trades and 0.01% on derivatives trades.
The EU estimates the arrangement could raise 30 billion euros ($40 billion) to 35 billion euros per year. To become law, the proposal has to be approved by the nations that agree to participate. They now comprise Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia. All 27 EU nations can sit in on the talks and have the option to join.
The proposals exclude certain types of trading from the scope of the tax: Day-to-day transactions by individuals and non-financial firms; primary offerings of stocks and bonds; and trades with central banks, the European Stability Mechanism and other official institutions. It also excludes primary market trades in units of collective investment funds along with certain restructuring operations.
While primary market government-bond sales would be exempted from the proposed tax, secondary market trading would be covered in order to prevent market distortions among financial products, Semeta said. Repurchase agreements would be included, though they would be taxed differently from trades with an outright buyer and seller.

Poll: Should New York City Regulate Costumed Characters in Times Square?
On Monday, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said he was open to legislation being considered in the City Council that would license people dressed up as cartoon characters in Times Square.
Performers who wear costumes of characters like Elmo and Spider-Man have become common sights in the busy tourist spot. They ham it up with children and post for photos — then ask the parents for tips, sometimes aggressively.
A number of incidents in recent months and concerns by the characters' corporate creators, have led some to campaign for regulation of the industry. But as then-City Council speaker Christine Quinn noted in April last year, "It's very challenging legally because dressing up in a costume and walking around Times Square is, we believe, a First Amendment-protected activity." Do you think the costumed characters should be regulated? Vote in our poll.

Led by seven shutout innings from Matt Warren, Creighton claimed the series from Villanova with a 4-0 win on Saturday, April 19.
The win pushed the Bluejays' 2014 record to 20-12-1 and Creighton's BIG EAST mark to 5-1. Villanova, meanwhile, fell to 11-24 overall and 3-6 in conference play.
The Bluejay offense continued to get a lift from sophomore Joey Mancuso as the Missouri native opened the scoring in the second with a two-run single. Sophomore Reagan Fowler and junior Landon Lucansky set the stage for Mancuso, reaching on an error and a walk respectively. A wild pitch moved both runners into scoring posiiton with one down and Mancuso made Villanova regret it with a single to left.
Creighton doubled its edge in the fifth, posting two runs on three hits and two walks. The Bluejays didn't get a base runner in the frame until two men were out, but junior Jake Peter bounced a single up the middle and sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald drew a walk. Once more the Wildcats allowed a wild pitch to move runners to second and third, then senior Mike Gerber laced a two-run single through the right side to make it 4-0.
Despite having his start pushed back two days due a dental issue, Warren showed no ill effects on the mound, limiting Villanova to just three hits and two walks in seven innings to move to 8-0 on the season.
The few times Warren did face a little trouble, he was able to work out of it as Villanova hit into inning-ending double plays in the third and fifth innings.
Creighton's bullpen finished off the game for the Bluejays, inducing two more inning-ending double plays in the eighth and ninth frames to preserve the shutout win.
Villanova's Hunter Schryver took the loss (1-5), allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks in 4.2 innings.
Peter led the Bluejay offense with two hits in the game, while Gerber and Mancuso each finished with two RBI.
Creighton returns to action on Tuesday, April 22 as the Bluejays open a nine-game homestand against Omaha at 6:30 pm.

I had a hard time capturing the color shift, though. For those that don't know, Max Factor: Fantasy Fire is a weak dupe to Clarins 230 and the other color shifting polishes that are out there nowadays. I do have Clarins 230 but wanted to try out Fantasy Fire, and it was gorgeous. Definitely one of those polishes where you can just... play with your manicure endlessly!
I've had Baker St. forever and it's a gorgeous color -- I need the patience to wear it on its own! Soon...
And I just realized this is a very UK-ish manicure, as both of these polish lines are based in the UK, haha.

Bassist for Iron Maiden, he created such metal epics as "The Number of the Beast" and "The Clansman". May I also mention that he kicks fucking ass?
Fuckin' GOD of the bass guitar.
by TallicaD00d October 26, 2004
God in the form of the Iron Maiden bass player and primary songwriter. Has created metal classics such as Aces High, Fear of the Dark, Infinite Dreams, and the Trooper, all on his own. He is the greatest bass player the metal genrè has ever seen, and the 2nd best bassist music has ever seen next to John Entwhistle.

It was a call that was out of this world — literally.
At 9:32 a.m. Monday, July 23, campers in the Everyday Engineering Program at Rochester Institute of Technology had the chance to connect, via amateur radio, with the International Space Station. The event was part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station program, a cooperative venture of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Amateur Radio Relay League and the Radio Amateur Satellite Corp. that organizes contact via amateur radio between astronauts aboard the International Space Station and classrooms and communities.
The Everyday Engineering Program includes fifth- and sixth-grade girls from 46 different schools, mostly in Monroe County. Attendees from other RIT summer camps also attended to connection.
"It is really exciting," said Jodi Carville, director of the Women in Engineering Program. "It's the first time we've had such an event here at campus at RIT. A lot of work goes into preparing this 10-minute conversation."

Students had the opportunity to ask questions to astronaut Sunita Williams, currently aboard the International Space Station and in line to be its next mission commander.
"I thought it was pretty cool because they're actually still in space," said Rachel Doane, who is going into fifth grade at Mendon Center Elementary in Pittsford.
"I liked what she said about plugging her drink," with a straw so that the liquid doesn't pour out, she said, adding that math and science are her favorite subjects. "I thought that was kind of funny."
Among the questions campers asked were, "What food does Williams miss most in space?" — pizza — and "How long did it take to build the space station?" — about 10 years. Williams also described how she could see the Statue of Liberty from outer space and divulged that some of the astronauts get haircuts in space — though it can get a bit hairy.
"You have to be careful because you can get hair all over the place," she said.
When asked what they should study in school to become an astronaut, Williams said that there are astronauts from a variety of backgrounds, including engineering and piloting, but that they should take lots of science and math classes.
Susan Lochner, an eighth-grade science teacher from Barker Road Middle School in Pittsford, has been an instructor at the camp for three years. The camp, she said, is an opportunity for girls to explore career fields they might not have otherwise considered.
"Oftentimes, girls make decisions about their future and don't always see their potential," she said. "It gives kids the opportunity to recognize what their skill set is and how it can apply to careers."

If you are a slow, un-athletic player you must adopt the step back jumper and add it to your arsenal of weapons. This is the future of basketball. This move is perfect for any player that is not quick enough to get to the cup and can provide a shooter with another way to score the basketball. The move is actually done more effectively against good defense. If the defense plays it correctly and the step back is unavailable the counter to this move will open up something with even more space to get off a shot or drive.
If you do not know what a step back jump shot is, I will explain it briefly. It is when a player uses the bounce to drive towards the hoop then instead of going straight up to shoot a jump shot he/she creates space between him/her and the defender by taking a step to the side then shoots the jumper. You might be asking, "Well, that doesn't make sense. Why would the player take this extra step and isn't that traveling?" The reason the player does not just shoot a regular one-dribble pull up is because the defense is there and has beaten the player to the spot. The player was not quick enough or did not use a good enough move to blow by therefore the only way for the player to get a shot off is to create space with this move. This is not traveling at all if done with the proper footwork.
This move is too difficult to explain its execution in just words so I suggest you search through YouTube for a demonstration if you have never seen it done before. When practicing or coaching this move there are certain things you must be persistent about:
– The "step-back" is actually a side-step. Never step back because you will not give yourself a lane to counter.
– Your last dribble before the move should be your hardest, and in the direction that you are stepping, and your body is then chasing the ball and meeting it to go up into your shot.
– Do not use your off arm to push off of the defense. Use your shoulder to make contact.
– Get into the defender with your body. Before you step back make sure you give him a bump so that he can't contest your shot.
In the next article I post I will talk about the counter to the step back. This will prove to you this is by far the most unstoppable move if a player can master it.

3 lb boneless pork shoulder roast or tenderloin (trim off excess fat)
1 1/2 cup diced rhubarb (un-defrosted frozen is fine)
1/4 cup chili sauce (like Heinz)
1/4 cup spiced ginger preserves (like Mackays)
2 tablespoons thick Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hickory liquid smoke
1 teaspoons Mexican hot chili powder
1 teaspoons hot paprika
1 teaspoon ground chipotle
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
juice and zest of one lime
1/2 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, sliced
Add all ingredients to a 4 quart slow cooker. Cook for 10 hours on low. When done, meat should shred easily with a fork. Remove roast from slow cooker. Shred with a fork and set aside. Mash any solid bits of the sauce with a potato masher. Return the pork to slow cooker and toss to evenly coat in sauce. Serve on rolls.
Note: If a slow cooker is not available, place the pork in a dutch oven and bake, covered for 4 1/2 hours at 375.

Consellería de Turismo de la Comunidad Valenciana
Horchata tigernut milk
The experience of eating a dish of paella while gazing at the sea is a luxury everyone can enjoy in Valencia. Although you can find this dish in practically any restaurant throughout the city, we recommend the area near the port and the beaches of las Arenas and Malvarrosa. There, your experience will be heightened as you enjoy your delicious paella against the soothing backdrop of the sea. This healthy meal is even better when eaten outdoors while enjoying the sea breeze. And don't forget to try the socarrat, the crispy rice which sticks to the bottom of the pan during cooking and which the Valencians consider the best part. For tea, the usual custom is to enjoy a refreshing glass of horchata (tiger nut milk) accompanied by fartons (typical sweet pastries).

New Way of In-putting Unknown Surnames...
When you are in your genealogy program on your computer & bring up the list of names that you have entered, toward the end there, most likely you'll see a long list of "Unknowns" (surnames). Or I know I did. These are the females who married into the family but not knowing their maiden name, they would be listed as "Jane Unknown" (or whatever her first name was) in the Family Group Section. By listing them as such, it can make it kind of hard to know, at a glance, just who these females are associated with & it irritated the bejebbies out of me.
So I've been trying to think of a better way of handling all of my "unknown surnames" & I believe I have finally come upon a workable solution. What I do is list her husband's last name for her surname & attach "unknown" at the end. For a better explanation, let's say Jane married Jack Smith & I don't have a clue as to her maiden name. When I in-put her in the Group Sheet section in my genealogy program, I will include her husbands name now. It will be entered as "Jane Smith-Jack-Unknown". This will tell me that I don't have Jane's maiden name & that she married Jack Smith. Since I have my genealogy program set to list the females by their maiden names, she will be associated with the Smith family & not in a long list of "Unknowns". FYI: If I should be so lucky to find her maiden name later on, it would be easy to correct in the program.
This little quick hint might be well known within the genealogy circle & if it is, I apologize for repeating it here. I just thought it made sense & would, hopefully, make things a little easier for your own genealogy files.
Later, Deb

Hi Deb,
Several years ago, I came up with another method. I use the husband's name, so that surname stays within the family unit. Better to show. John Smith m. Lucy ? or unknown. I would put, Lucy (__) w/o John Smith. She is now with the Smith family, with her first name. I plan on writing about this and another thing I do, but I did want to alert you to it, and don't want you thinking I am taking your idea. Thanks for sharing your idea though. Also, I hated a huge list of Unknowns also.

Barbara, I "knew" there was something to the old saying "...great minds think alike!" :-)
And hey, I wouldn't think that you had taken my idea. I've done this (genealogy) long enough, that I realize a lot of us have the same ideas/habits...we just don't realize it a lot of the time til we say something. :-) Besides, being a follower of your blog, I know you aren't the type of person to do such a thing.
Can't wait to read what the other thing that you do....
Later, Deb

text: Disney World keeps raising them as well. I am a Floridian and they offer a special 3 day pass that would still cost my family of 4 over $600. It's insane, and I feel like they are making it harder for the average American family to afford going there (Universal is in the same boat).

Release Date: March 3rd, 2011
International Release Date: March 2011
MAC's spring line is starting out fierce with the new collection Jeanius. The collection offers products from eyeshadow, liner, and blush, to lipstick, lipglass, and nail lacquer. As implied by the name, this collection speaks to the denim lover in each of us.
After first glance at all of the products offered in this collection it doesn't necessarily strike me as a spring collection. When I think of spring, I think of soft pinks, purples and even yellows. This collection does offer some of those, but it mainly includes a lot of grays and blues. I love that the collection name so specifically fits the color scheme. And you do have to hand it to MAC for the way they play on words. At least the name of the collection is genius even if the complete color scheme is not.
And as pretty as I think some of the colors look, I am not exactly sure how they will look on. For me, it takes the right outfit and the right venue to want to wear blue eye makeup. If blues aren't done right, they just look cheap to me. But MAC does often get it right so I am willing to give this collection a chance.
Some of the nail lacquer colors are particularly interesting to me. I find that I get more into nail polish at the change of the seasons. Spring truly brings out my desire to have my toes nicely painted and my fingers matching in style. Fray-to-order looks like it will be a really pretty color. It is a white matte with soft pink duochrome pearl.
When my nails are painted, I like to have my lip color match when appropriate. I am not sure that any of these lip colors offered in this collection match completely, but I think that the lipstick shade Pretty Please might compliment the nail color nicely. I am excited to try it.
What do you think MAC customers? Is there something in this collection you are especially excited about? Or is this a collection that won't put a dent in your wallet?
Jeanius is a celebration of the journey America made a national obsession. M∙A∙C keeps up with a Jeanius collection of moody blues and indigo ink, the quantum of modern cool, with four new limited-life denimized Eye Shadows, Lipglass, Blush and Biker Blue Nail Lacquer. Completely riveting.

Sir: As a feminist I am indeed concerned with biology, sexuality and the incidence of mental illness and crime. What does TIME — and Lionel Tiger — make of the following statistics? According to the U.S. Public Health Service, the actual suicide rate of American males is 2½ times that of females; according to the FBI, the number of males arrested for homicide is over five times the number of females; and according to the National Institute of Mental Health, males outstrip females in first admissions to state mental hospitals by a ratio of 3 to 2. Do you think an imperfect male biology is at work 365 days of the year?

A number of University of Delaware students spent their St. Patrick's Day learning about potential career paths from environmental professionals at the 2012 Environmental Career Morning event hosted by the Department of Food and Resource Economics in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR).
Panelists included representatives from federal and state government, an analyst from a consulting firm and a coordinator from the non-profit sector.
After a welcome from Steve Hastings, professor in the department, the four professionals engaged in a panel discussion, answering questions from Hastings, who served as the panel moderator, and from the students in attendance. The panel was followed by a mingling session during which the students got to meet the professionals in a one-on-one setting.
Kate Miller, a senior environmental studies major in the College of Arts and Sciences and an Honors Program student, attended the event and said that the panelists offered great advice to the students. "I feel like a lot of the advice students receive about the job market is either very sugar coated or downright depressing," she said, "so it was refreshing to have professionals share their experiences in a way that made you feel like even though finding the job you want can be difficult at times, it can certainly be done."
Miller, who plans to pursue a master's degree in water science and policy at UD and hopes to eventually work in watershed policy for either the government or a non-profit agency, added that the panelists presented great tips about the hiring process and provided helpful insight into resumes and interview skills.
Erika Farris, a UD alumna and an environmental scientist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water, was one of the panelists, and offered up some advice to current students seeking a career in the environmental field, saying that it is important to obtain as much experience as possible and to pursue an advanced degree. She also stressed the importance of remaining open minded when looking for a career. "Even if something does not fit perfectly with your interests," she said, "you can probably learn something from the experience, and may even discover new interests or skills."
Farris — who graduated from UD with a bachelor's degree in 2007 and a master's degree in 2009, and who had Hastings as an undergraduate adviser — said that she had wanted to be a part of a career day because she can remember what it was like being a student and looking for a job. "I remember being in their shoes, not that long ago, and being uncertain about what opportunities existed with that major," she said.
Besides reaching out to the students and providing them career advice, Farris also said that she wanted to take part in Career Morning because she was "interested in hearing about the career interests of current students, and learning about what career paths other alumni have taken."
Jennifer Walls, the principal planner for the planning section of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), also sat on the panel. She explained that it is important for students entering the work force to "be flexible and open to job opportunities outside of your major." She encouraged students to "think outside of the box when looking for jobs, and take part in as many internships as you can as an undergraduate or graduate student. If you can't find an internship, then volunteer locally."
Melissa Luxemberg, a senior in CANR and an Honors Program student, said that with graduation approaching, she is trying to keep all doors open as to what she can do for a future career, so she enjoyed being able to speak with professionals from the environmental field. "It was great to pick their brains about the opportunities they think are most promising for someone with my major and degree."
Panelists included:
- Jennifer Walls, principal planner for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's Planning Section;
- Erika Farris, environmental scientist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Water;
- Samantha Loprinzo, analyst for the consulting firm ICF International; and
- Erin McVey, watershed coordinator for the non-profit organization Sassafras River Association.

Hi Folks,
I'm responsible for Emergency Management in our organization. I used to be in the computer industry so am familiar with lots of "stuff" but in internet security I'm pretty new. Unfortunately, I know more about it than any of my co-workers and they're asking questions about traveling overseas, wireless access and security.
I've begun reading all the newbies items here and can tell this is going to be a great resource but I have an immediate need I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion or two for.
The immediate problem is some of our guys want to do online banking while they're traveling and use free wireless access points when they can. I went to the login page on our bank site (which is the splash page), looked in the address bar and noticed it said http: instead of https:. To me, this means the login name and password is going out unencrypted.
I called the bank and the person I spoke to said that the login part of the page was encrypted though the rest of the page wasn't. Actually, she said the name wasn't but the password was encrypted. If what I read is correct, this is possible but I'm a little suspicious and would like to prove it to myself because a lot of guys are overseas using whatever access points for their banking with little or no knowledge of the dangers (cringe).
So, my questions are:
-Can I test this on my home computer by doing something like "sniffing" what goes to my wireless router when I hit enter on the login page? What software would I use for that?
-Maybe I'm on the wrong track and should try to determine this a different way like looking at the source code on the page?
Sorry for such newb questions, but I'm not to proud to ask those who have been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Thanks in advance for your wisdom. This just evolved into my lap and I've got folks in 28 countries and I'm all 'a sudden pretty worried.

Liposuction is the removal of excess body fat by suction using special surgical equipment. A plastic surgeon typically does the surgery.
Alternative Names
Fat removal – suctioning; Body contouring
Liposuction is a popular type of cosmetic surgery. It removes unwanted deposits of excess fat to improve body appearance and to smooth irregular or distorted body shapes. The procedure is sometimes called body contouring.
Liposuction may be useful for contouring under the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankle areas.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure with risks, and it may involve a painful recovery. Because liposuction can have serious or occasionally fatal complications, you should carefully think about your decision to have this surgery.
Types of Liposuction Procedures
Tumescent liposuction (fluid injection) is the most common type of liposuction. It involves injecting a large amount of medicated solution into the areas before the fat is removed (sometimes, the solution may be up to three times the volume of fat to be removed). The fluid is a mixture of local anesthetic (lidocaine), a drug that contracts the blood vessels (epinephrine), and an intravenous (IV) salt solution. The lidocaine in the mixture helps to numb the area during and after surgery, and may be the only anesthesia needed for the procedure. The epinephrine in the solution helps reduce the loss of blood, the amount of bruising, and the amount of swelling from the surgery. The IV solution helps remove the fat more easily and it is suctioned out along with the fat. This type of liposuction generally takes longer than other types.
The super-wet technique is similar to tumescent liposuction. The difference is that not as much fluid is used during the surgery–the amount of fluid injected is equal to the amount of fat to be removed. This technique takes less time; however, it often requires sedation with an IV or general anesthesia.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses ultrasonic vibrations to liquefy fat cells. After the cells are liquefied, they can be vacuumed out. UAL can be done in two ways, external (above the surface of the skin with a special emitter) or internal (below the surface of the skin with a small, heated cannula). This technique may help remove fat from dense, fiber-filled (fibrous) areas of the body such as the upper back or enlarged male breast tissue. UAL is often used together with the tumescent technique, in follow-up (secondary) procedures, or for greater precision. In general, this procedure takes longer than the super-wet technique.
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells. After the cells are liquefied, they can be vacuumed out or allowed to drain out through small tubes. Because the cannula used during LAL is smaller than the ones used in traditional liposuction, surgeons prefer applying LAL for confined areas. These areas include the chin, jowls, and face. A possible advantage of LAL over other liposuction methods is that energy from the laser stimulates collagen production, which helps prevent skin sag after liposuction. Collagen is the fiber-like protein that helps maintain skin structure.
How the Procedure is Done
- A liposuction machine and special instruments called cannulas are used for this surgery.
- The surgical team prepares the areas of your body that will be treated.
- You will receive either local or general anesthesia.
- Through a small skin incision, a suction tube with a sharp end is inserted into the fat pockets and swept through the area where fat is to be removed.
- The dislodged fat is vacuumed away through the suction tube. A vacuum pump or a large syringe provides the suction action.
- Several skin punctures may be needed to treat large areas. The surgeon may approach the areas to be treated from different directions to get the best contour.
- After the fat is removed, small drainage tubes may be inserted into the defatted areas to remove blood and fluid that collects during the first few days after surgery.
- If you lose a lot of fluid or blood during the surgery, you may need fluid replacement (intravenously). In very rare, cases, a blood transfusion is needed.
- A compression garment will be placed on you. Wear it, as instructed by your surgeon.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
The following are some of the uses for liposuction:
- Cosmetic reasons, including "love handles," fat bulges, or an abnormal chin line.
- To improve sexual function by reducing abnormal fat deposits on the inner thighs, thus allowing easier access to the vagina.
- Body shaping for people who are bothered by fatty bulges or irregularities that cannot be removed by diet and/or exercise.
Liposuction is generally not appropriate for these uses:
- As a substitute for exercise and diet, or as a cure for general obesity. But it may be used to remove fat from isolated areas at different points in time.
- As a treatment for cellulite (the uneven, dimpled appearance of skin over hips, thighs, and buttocks) or excess skin.
- In certain areas of the body, such as the fat on the sides of the breasts, because the breast is a common site for cancer.
Many alternatives to liposuction exist, including a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), removal of fatty tumors (lipomas), breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), or a combination of plastic surgery approaches.
Certain medical conditions should be checked and be under control before liposuction, including:
- History of heart problems (heart attack)
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Allergic reactions to medications
- Pulmonary problems (shortness of breath, air pockets in bloodstream)
- Allergies (antibiotics, asthma, surgical prep)
- Smoking, alcohol, or drug use
Risks associated with liposuction include:
- Shock (usually when not enough fluid is replaced during the surgery)
- Fluid overload (usually from the procedure)
- Infections (strep, staph)
- Bleeding, blood clot
- Tiny globules of fat in the bloodstream that block blood flow to tissue (fat embolism)
- Nerve, skin, tissue, or organ damage or burns from the heat or instruments used in liposuction
- Uneven fat removal (asymmetry)
- Dents in your skin or contouring problems
- Drug reactions or overdose from the lidocaine used in the procedure
- Scarring or irregular, asymmetric, or even "baggy," skin, especially in older people
Before the Procedure
Before your surgery, you will have a patient consultation. This will include a history, physical exam, and a psychological evaluation. You may need to bring someone (such as your spouse) with you during the visit.
Feel free to ask questions. Be sure you understand the answers to your questions. You must understand fully the pre-operative preparations, the liposuction procedure, and the post-operative care. Understand that liposuction may enhance your appearance and self-confidence, but it will probably not give you your ideal body.
Before the day of surgery, you may have blood drawn and be asked to provide a urine sample. This allows the health care provider to rule out potential complications. If you are not hospitalized, you will need a ride home after the surgery.
After the Procedure
Liposuction may or may not require a hospital stay, depending on the location and extent of surgery. Liposuction can be done in an office-based facility, in a surgery center on an outpatient basis, or in a hospital.
After the surgery, bandages and a compression garment are applied to keep pressure on the area and stop any bleeding, as well as to help maintain shape. Bandages are kept in place for at least 2 weeks. You will need the compression garment for several weeks.
You will likely have swelling, bruising, numbness, and pain, but it can be managed with medications. The stitches will be removed in 5 to 10 days. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection.
You may feel sensations such as numbness or tingling, as well as pain, for weeks after the surgery. Walk as soon as possible after surgery to help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. Avoid more strenuous exercise for about a month after the surgery.
You will start to feel better after about 1 or 2 weeks following liposuction surgery. You may return to work within a few days of the surgery. Bruising and swelling usually go away within three weeks; however, you may still have some swelling several months later.
Your surgeon may call you from time to time to check on your health and to monitor your healing. A follow-up visit with the surgeon will be required.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most patients are satisfied with the result of the surgery.
Your new body shape will begin to emerge in the first couple of weeks. Improvement will be more visible 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. By exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet, you can help maintain your new shape.

Well hung ... and tender: butter braised beef, Dutch style
Until last Saturday that is. I had spotted a highly praised and simple beef dish over at eGullet that I wanted to try. I had also invited 3 friends for a meal that night, and although you shouldn't really use your guests as Guinea pigs for new recipes, I was feeling quietly confident about the recipe, and the meat.
I told Sarah MacPherson, one half of the Well Hung & Tender team, and personally in charge of the stall last Saturday, about my planned dish. She suggested their best braising steak and gave me some helpful hints for cooking. The average hanging time for retail beef in the US is 19 days, and just 5-10 days in the UK. Well Hung & Tender, on the other hand, hangs their grass-fed and sufficiently "beefed up" Aberdeen Angus carcasses for between four and five weeks. This gives extra time for the enzymes to break down the muscle fibres, resulting in particularly tender and flavoursome meat. More importantly, it also means that this particular meat takes considerably less time to cook than similar cuts that are, well, not so well hung:)
And if you have such a great piece of meat, you don't really want to mess it up or get too fussy about it.
Butter braised beef - 'draadjesvlees/sudderlapjes'
(Imehõrk veiseliha)
Source: Butter braised beef, Dutch style by Chufi at eGullet
Serves 4
~ 500 grams of good quality braising beef
Maldon sea salt
crushed black peppercorns
75 grams butter
boiling water
2 bay leaves
2-3 cloves
Cut the meat into the same amount of pieces as you have diners. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Add the meat in one layer, brown on both sides on a gentle heat. Be gentle.
Pour over the water, just enough to cover the meat.
And now I have to quote Chufi, the eGulleteer, as she puts it very nicely:
"Now add 2 bayleaves and 2 cloves. And here comes the most difficult part.. (for me at least..) don't add anything else. Not a splash of wine, not a sliver of onion or garlic, not a whiff of any other herb or spice. Nothing. Really."
Simmer the meat at a very low heat for 2-3 hours, depending on your beef. My meat was done after 2 hours, but that's because it was a well hung piece of beef. The original recipe prescribes 3 hours braising time.
I found the whole process of braising fascinating - for the first hour and a bit more the meat was simmering away and looked rather tough. I even managed to start to worry whether I'll be done before my guests arrived. And then suddenly, the meat softened and turned flaky, making the task of transferring the meat onto a plate quite a task..
The taste was amazing. The meat was absolutely gorgeous, melting in your mouth and really lovely flavour. I will definitely cook this dish again and cannot recommend it enough.
I served this with a garlicky potato mash and roasted cauliflower, drizzling some red wine sauce on top. Very happy diners and clean plates all around.

Hi Pille! I found out your blog great looking for information for Tallinn, where I'll be travelling to next week-end, and stumbled upon this post.
Just wanted to share a tip about linking to posts on eGullet: if you click the "post number" link in the desired post you'll get a link that brings you directly to it. For example Chufi's recipe can be linked directly using the following:
Hope it helps. Signed: an eGullet Host ;-).

That one really looks like something I definitely want to try. What kind of beef cuts are these braising steaks? I tried looking around the net for a description - but in vain. I doubt the Finnish grocery stores are familiar with the term :)

Oi, Antti - you come and say you like beef, and then go off and make lamb mince balls?!?! But I'm flattered that my picture seemed to "connect" to your instant gratification centre:)
Hi Pille! I found out your blog great looking for information for Tallinn, where I'll be travelling to next week-end, and stumbled upon this post.
Hi Alberto - welcome to my blog! I used that linking method, but it still requires some scrolling down:(
And I'm looking forward to reading about your culinary experiences in my hometown Tallinn next week!!
Randi - again, welcome to this little blog of mine, and I agree about the name of the shop. Though I thought it was a bit naughty as opposed to 'cute'. Maybe it's just my disturbed mind (Ilva, do you want to comment on that?:)
Kalyn - as I said, this was probably the first time I cooked a proper piece of beef as opposed to beef mince. And I was definitely _not_ discouraged from doing it again. I will probably buy another piece at the market tomorrow morning!
J - thank you! I've been lost for words on your duck confit post, it's that stunning..
Shauna - you live in Edinburgh, so it wouldn't be too hard from you to get a piece of that very beef braising steak on any Saturday morning! Then you could dunk a real piece of bread into those juices as opposed to just virtual:)
Thanasis - that makes you a carnivore. And I knew that you'd approve of this dish:) Though living in Amsterdam now, you should be able to eat 'draadjesvlees' at any Dutch restaurant!
Anna - try it! Though I am convinced that the super-good quality of the meat helped to produce the perfect result. Not sure I would have earned as approving glances if I had used a simple supermarket cut..
Pippurimylly - I have nooo idea, how this piece would be called in Finnish. Maybe you can print out the piece from the Well Hung & Tender website and take it to the shop? I'll be at the farmers market again tomorrow morning, so I can go and double-check with them.

- spots said...
hmm with such a simple recipe, i think the beef must be of a very good quality for the dish to taste good ya? if beef not fresh, then the whole dish not as good?
- 3:20 pm, March 04, 2006
- Pille said...
Hi Spots - I totally agree - it must be a top quality piece of meat, and a good proper butter. These days I rarely buy my meat from the supermarket. As I cannot afford buying from a good butcher regularly, then I just eat meat less often. All my pork & bacon comes from a trusted stall at the local farmers market, and the beef from Well Hung & Tender was top quality as well. The same with my fish, which I buy from a good fishmonger nearby. A lot more expensive, but at least it's been filletted that morning and not a week ago..
Pippurimylly - I didn't get out of bed early enough to go to the market and ask about the cut of meat, so you'll have to wait till next week, sorry!
- 6:28 pm, March 04, 2006
- Pippurimylly said...
No prob :) I could just try and get some good looking cuts and experiment. For a long stewing process, the best cut will not probably be the leanest one.
- 6:25 pm, March 05, 2006
Reminds me of a recipe given to me by a friend, along with a saddle of venison from an especially tough old deer. I invited some friends over for the enxt day, and put the meat in a wine marinade. Next day it was braised in the marinade. Hour after hour, and it was still tough after 3 hours, 4 hours, it was supposedly done at 5 hours. Guests had been snacking & checking on the main course for over an hour, but the venison was still tough.
We were considering Chinese takeout when, at 5 hours 15 minutes it suddenly became tender. I reduced the remainer of the liquid. Delicious.
Braising takes a leap of faith and a touch of flexibility, but the ressults can be outstanding!
- 3:43 am, March 24, 2006
I just found your post while google-ing something else. I'm Murray MacPherson, and it's my parents' that own Well Hung and Tender. Thanks very much for the plug!
If there's anything at all we can help with, we're on www.wellhungandtender.com, don't hesitate to get in touch!
- 11:07 pm, June 20, 2006
- Pille said...
Pippurimylly - I'm glad to read over at your blog that the beef was delicious! Thanks for trying this recipe!
Mikew - lol:) I got worried as well the first time I served it - and it all really happened within the last 15 minutes. It was tough as shoe leather at one minute, and then suddenly moreishly tender!
Murray - thanks for your comment! Your parents deserved the plug:) Now that I've decided to move back home to Estonia at the end of the year, I'll be visiting your parents' stall frequently. You cannot get very good beef in Estonia yet, I'm afraid, so I must use the opportunity while it lasts!

- Stock index futures flat
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
After a flurry of excitement on that stronger-than-expected ADP private payroll number, stock-index futures are looking pretty flat.
S&P 500 futures are up a half point, while Dow futures are holding a 12-point gain and the Nasdaq 100 contract is up 1.5 points.
- 9:27 am
- Taking ADP with a grain of salt
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
So how excited should everybody be over the stronger-than-expected ADP estimate of private-sector payrolls?
MarketWatch's Steve Goldstein stacks up the caveats, noting that the ADP report isn't a terribly reliable guide to the Labor Department's nonfarm payrolls report. That report, the main event of the week, is due Thursday morning (a day earlier than usual thanks to the July 4th holiday).
- 9:34 am
- Flat after wobbly start
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
It was a wobbly start for stocks, with major indexes flitting between small gains and losses.
Right now, the S&P 500 is up less than a half point at 1,973.60, while the Dow industrials are up less than 4 points at 16,959.80. The Nasdaq Composite is up 2.63 points at 4,461.28.

- Constellation leads S&P 500 advancers
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
Constellation Brands is the S&P 500's upside leader in the early going, gaining 5% after first-quarter earnings surged, boosted as the company's beer segment benefited from the $5.3 billion acquisition of U.S. distribution rights for Corona and other Mexican beers and a Mexican brewery from Anheuser-Busch InBev.

We now know the identity of the successful bidder who bought all 30,000 bitcoins seized by the U.S. government when it seized Silk Road. Reuters reports that it was venture capitalist Tim Draper, who sponsors bitcoin trading platform Vaurum. The auction netted $18 million.
- 9:51 am
- Earnings warnings getting stiffer punishment
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
The number of earnings warning issued by companies in the S&P 500 have dropped for a second consecutive quarter ahead of Q2 earnings season and the number of companies issuing positive guidance is on the rise, according to FactSet.
That sounds positive, but it's also worth noting that companies that offer negative warnings are getting punished more severely than in the past, while those offering positive vibrations aren't getting as much reward.
- 9:59 am
- No direction
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
We're almost a half hour into the trading session and stocks are still struggling to find a direction.
S&P 500 — up 0.51 point at 1,973.83
DJIA — up 7.05 points at 16,963.12
Nasdaq Composite — up 6.05 points at 4,464.80

- GoPro on track for first daily decline
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
Somebody attach a camera to GoPro's stock price. The video-equipment maker, which debuted in a high-profile IPO just last week, is plummeting this morning, falling 11.2% to $43.30 a share at last check.
A negative finish would mark the first daily loss for the stock after a four-day win streak that resulted in a 103% gain.

- Factory orders fall
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
U.S. factory orders fell 0.5% in May, a smidge bigger loss than the 0.4% penciled in by economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
Stocks are still looking for direction.
S&P 500 up 0.34 point at 1,973.66
DJIA — up 8.8 points at 16,964.87
Nasdaq Composite — up 2.21 points at 4,460.86

It was another month of outflows for Bill Gross's Pimco Total Return Fund i June, according to Morningstar data released Wednesday. Net redemptions reduced total assets by 2% to $229 billion. The fund returned 0.37% in June, outperforming the benchmark Barclays Aggregate Bond Index return of 0.05%.

- Record closes again?
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
More than an hour into the session, the main indexes still aren't making any big moves after yesterday's record-setting advance.
But at least it's the case that they've been mostly trading higher so far today.
So the S&P 500 and Dow are both on track to score record closes again, even though the S&P has briefly dipped into the red at times, and the small-cap Russell 2000 is currently negative.
Dow +0.1%
Nasdaq +0.2%
Russell -0.01%

- Yellen & Lagarde comments
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
The Fed's Janet Yellen and the IMF's Christine Lagarde are talking today.
And we've got a live blog on this here.
For starters, the text of Yellen's has just come out, and that could be helping the S&P 500 score another session high.

- 11:08 am
- Yellen's point
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
MarketWatch's Greg Robb, writing over at our Yellen-Lagarde live blog, says this is the main point from Yellen's speech:
"Taking all of these factors into consideration, I do not presently see a need for monetary policy to deviate from a primary focus on attaining price stability and maximum employment, in order to address financial stability concerns. That said, I do see pockets of increased risk-taking across the financial system, and an acceleration or broadening of these concerns could necessitate a more robust macroprudential approach."
So perhaps that initial small pop for stocks came from the stay-the-course tone, but it's now faded — and the Dow is almost dipping into negative territory.

The main indexes have pulled back from their session highs.

Stocks "might not do much today" after Tuesday's record-setting advance, says Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at R.W. Baird.
"The market kind of broke out in a sense yesterday," he said in a phone interview this morning.
He noted the all-important jobs report is expected tomorrow, and its wage-growth numbers could be key, given their link to inflation expectations.
"I kind of doubt we're going to get a big wage number, but you never know," he said.

Doug Coté continues to sound upbeat in a phone interview this morning. He is chief investment strategist at Voya Investment Management, previously ING Investment Management.
He noted this week has provided good numbers on manufacturing and private-sector jobs.
"It bodes well for tomorrow's non-farm payrolls," he told MarketWatch, referring to the closely watched monthly jobs report.
He said the U.S. economy is recovering, and he's also upbeat on the U.K., Germany and Japan.
"Investors are too defensive, and they need to get into this market," Coté told MarketWatch.

Getting back to that Yellen speech, this seems like a reasonable reaction from the Twitterverse:
(Hat tip to our ongoing Yellen-Lagarde live blog — check it out here — for highlighting this tweet.)
#Yellen speech is on balance mildly dovish in that she does not see the need to raise rates to address financial stability concerns.

- Dow 17K before the rush to The Hamptons?
- by Wallace Witkowski
- Add a Comment
Unless there's a tipping point lurking around somewhere, a 17K Dow Jones Industrial Average before the holiday weekend as Wall Street flocks to The Hamptons is looking less likely. After Tuesday's push to a new intraday high of 16,998.70 (almost!), the index has receded back to an intraday high of 16,986.63.
At last check the Dow was up less than 0.1% at 16, 969.20.

Stocks are flat. How flat? Consider that Tuesday's S&P 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX is trading in the 4th narrowest trading range since 1982, as Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at MKM Partners, observes.
That follows June 20 and June 23, which were similarly narrow trading days. Krinsky noted those curiousities, and writes:
While we didn't have a clear takeaway, we did suggest that a major market top would be preceded by an increase in volatility, or trading range. So far we have simply not seen that.

Moody's Investors Service on Wednesday upgraded Delta Air Lines Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/463579/delayed /quotes/nls/dal DAL credit rating to Ba3 from B1 on expectations of better earnings and cash flow generation.
"The favorable combination of the location of Delta's hubs, benefits of a mainly non-union work-force, effective revenue management practices, and a significantly smaller order book than direct competitors provide a solid foundation for steady improvements in its credit metrics," said Moody's Senior Credit Officer Jonathan Root in a statement.
Ba-grade ratings are viewed as "somewhat speculative" in the credit market.
Shares of Delta fell 5.2% after the airline reported lower unit revenue in June than expected.

Oil futures fell below $105 a barrel to settle at a three-week low on the New York Mercantile Exchange. News that Libyan rebels have agreed to allow two oil terminals to reopen eased concerns about global supplies, outweighing price support from a bigger-than-expected weekly decline in U.S. crude inventories.
August oil /quotes/zigman/2196851/delayed CLQ4 fell 86 cents, or 0.8%, to settle at $104.48 a barrel on Nymex. The decline marked oil's fifth straight session loss.

Investors have been content to take a summer slumber as central bankers sing easy-money lullabies. But don't discount the possibility that a strong jobs report could shake traders awake.
After a strong ADP report, some investors are getting a bit jittery about what the nonfarm payrolls report on Thursday will bring. The 10-year Treasury note /quotes/zigman/4868283/delayed 10_YEAR yield is up 6 basis points on the day ahead of the report.

During the Jungle Beat quest (Western Jungle) I go to Taurog's room and touch his alter, the golems appear. I use the alter and worship him, taking a piece of armor. Using the armor I beat the golems. Then if I go to the alter OR the stairway, it crashes.
This has happened EVERY time I played the level. Including the time I got to level 9 and had done everything short of killing the boss, and had enough piety for the full armor set. And I managed to do all this while poisoned by the goblin! Naturally I was proud of that feat and upset that it was errored out.
I know this is a beta, but you're charging money for it, make sure the game is playable.

10% Discount in Hillsborough (price subject to seller financing)
Today we turn our back on the crapboxen and Likelers. We're off to Hillsborough, where you need not rub elbows with your neighbors at all. In fact, you won't even see your neighbors unless you show up at one of their fundraising balls. Thanks very much to Burbed reader Michael Boltonestater for sending this in this cozy contemporary, provided that by contemporary we mean we're putting on our FDR campaign button. Um, first campaign.

Price subject to seller financing, otherwise $29 million. Tobin Clark Estate designed by David Adler on 6 landscaped acres. Grand Music Room w/ 15ft ceilings, soaring leaded-glass windows, antique parquet-de-Versailles floors, French doors to Loggia & Grand Tr. Marble Entry w/ 17th Century paneling, Formal Dining Room. VIP + 2 Master Suites, oak-paneled Library.
This isn't just any house. This is the Tobin Clark Estate. It has its own video. And no, we don't mean the one Redfin puts together automatically (there's one of those too! Save $243,750!) Just think, this home has been host to "numerous dignitaries including Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush."
Guess we now know the sellers' politics. And given that the price goes up to $29 million if you won't let the sellers finance your purchase, guess we also know how they got enough saved up to buy a spread like this in the first place. Remember, if they won't give you a cash discount, you can always save $243,750 with Redfin!
We hope you also caught that the link to the estate notes the house was being put up for sale… in January. January, 2012.
On Redfin: 26 days. Riiiiiiiiight. At least the 35,000 square foot house isn't a typo.

O.J. Simpson to ask parole board to cut prison sentence
Former football star O.J. Simpson will ask the Nevada parole board on Thursday to reduce his prison sentence of up to 33 years for his role in the robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers.
Former football star O.J. Simpson will ask the Nevada parole board on Thursday to reduce his prison sentence of up to 33 years for his role in the robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers.
Simpson, convicted in 2008 of storming a Las Vegas hotel room with other men and taking thousands of dollars' worth of memorabilia he said dated from his sports career, is seeking parole for convictions on robbery, kidnapping and burglary charges.
Simpson, 66, still needs to finish sentences for assault with a deadly weapon and other charges related to the 2007 incident.
Even if he were successful in this and future parole requests, he would not be released from prison before 2017, said David Smith, a spokesman for the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners.
"He's been a model inmate, so we don't expect him to have any problems making parole," said Simpson's attorney, Patricia Palm, who is representing him in his request for a new trial on the charges.
Simpson's attorneys have said he was only trying to retrieve property that he believed belonged to him.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame running back was acquitted in California in 1995 of two counts of murder in the stabbing and slashing deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. He later lost a wrongful death case brought by Goldman's family.
Simpson will be dressed in prison denim when he appears via video conference on Thursday from Lovelock Correctional Center and to address a parole board commissioner 100 miles away in Carson City, Smith said.
The Nevada parole board will likely rule next week on Simpson's request, Smith said. He is eligible for parole on his convictions for robbery, kidnapping and burglary, but not assault with a deadly weapon, he said.
Because of credits for good behavior, Simpson would likely serve a total of no more than about 20 years in prison even if he were never granted parole, said Clark County chief deputy district attorney Leon Simon, who is involved in fighting Simpson's request for a new trial.
In May, Simpson requested a new trial on the grounds that his former attorney, Yale Galanter, mishandled the 2008 case and had a conflict of interest because he knew in advance that the former athlete planned to confront the sports dealers.
A Clark County judge is expected to rule within weeks on Simpson's request for a new trial.

Antique or Junque: Toaster produces a valuable piece of bread
by Anne McCollam
Q: I inherited this single-piece electric toaster from my parents. Decorated with a gazelle on the side, the still-working toaster has a shiny chrome metal finish and its original cord. There is a plate with the words: "Edison Toaster by General Electric Appliance Co. — Patent No. 1551338." My parents had it when I was born in 1931. I have a 1994 magazine article that featured a photo of the same toaster, which was referred to as a "Hotpoint" brand.
I would appreciate learning more about this family appliance, particularly a realistic insurance valuation.
A: Hotpoint was owned by Edison General Electric. Designed by Raymond E. Patten, your Art Deco toaster with the graceful leaping gazelle was patented in 1925. Patten was an industrial designer and engineer from the late 1920s through the 1940s for the Chicago-based General Electric Co.
Your "Gazelle" toaster should be insured for $500.
Q: I would like to know more about my service for eight set of dishes. Enclosed is the mark seen on the bottom of each piece. Against a white background, the dishes are decorated with blue flowers on pieces of brown driftwood.
What can you tell me about the manufacturer, the vintage and the value of my set?
A: Red Wing Potteries Inc., located in Red Wing, Minn., made your dinnerware. They produced kitchenware, dinnerware and art pottery from 1935 to 1967. "Driftwood" is the name of the pattern that was introduced in 1953.
Your service for eight would probably be worth $300 to $500.
Q: I have a small round tin of "Madam C. J. Walker's Wonderful Temple Salve." On the lid are the words: "Indianapolis, Ind. — Price 35 Cents."
Anything you can tell me about its history and value will be appreciated.
A: Sarah Breedlove Walker created hair care products designed for African-American women in the early 1900s. Her products were marketed under the name Madame C.J. Walker. An entrepreneur who educated her agents how to use and sell her products, one of her goals was to give her agents the opportunity to become financially independent.
In 1908, she established the Lelia College of Beauty Culture in Indianapolis. A year later, she set up her headquarters and factory in Indianapolis. Tins of the hair care preparation were often included in Mme. C. J. Walker's authorized agent kits, which were distributed to students at their graduations.
Your collectible tin is an example of Black Americana. It would probably be worth $250 to $300. FYI: A complete agent kit in excellent condition would be worth at least $2,600.
Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P.O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column. Due to the volume of inquiries, she cannot answer individual letters.

ORLANDO, Fla.—If Julius Randle ends up playing basketball at Duke, one person will deserve major credit for reeling him in—and it's not necessarily Mike Krzyzewski. While the Blue Devils' head coach and his staff will of course have had a good bit to do with it if Randle heads to Durham, there's another individual who may have even more to do with it.
His name is Matt Jones, and he's hardly an unknown quantity at Duke—so far he's the lone member of the program's 2013 class.
Jones may deserve the assist if he can persuade Randle, his uber-talented childhood buddy, to follow him to Duke. See, Jones and Randle have known each other since elementary school—before Coach K or any Duke basketball fan knew or cared who they were.
Both live in Texas, so of course the Texas Longhorns are also a serious threat to land Randle, as is Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Baylor, Florida—basically every big-time school in the country is after Jones' longtime friend.
They were both on hand for AAU national championship action in Orlando (Fla.) on Thursday, participating in pool play for their summer team—the No. 1 overall ranked AAU team, the Texas Titans. The 6-foot-9 Randle is clearly the team's top threat and is generally considered the nation's No. 2 overall 2013 recruit behind Chicago-area native Jabari Parker. Jones isn't far behind—highly respected in his own right as a 6-foot-4 guard.
"I work on him a lot," Jones told Sporting News on Thursday. "I always try to let him be him because he let me be me when I was going through my decision. But I always whisper in his ear about Duke … I just tell him that we've been friends together a long time, so I just joke with him about not making me feel bad."
Whoever lands Randle is going to be very, very happy. He's huge, but he handles the ball well in the open court and actually has a crossover that would make a guard proud. Of course, that all goes along with him being a wide body and a force inside. He's a rare combination of strengths, and he made the dozens of college coaches on hand drool with his play on Thursday.
Randle will be a serious matchup problem for defenses, no matter where he heads. For Duke fans, think of Elton Brand with even more athleticism—a comparison that nearly made Randle blush on Thursday.
"He would bring a beast to our class," Jones said. "I don't think anybody can stop Julius. That would be a beast of a class if he was the only person in it. He's just a one of a kind player. There's really nobody who can stop him. He's strong minded and he wills his way and gets it done. He doesn't say anything negative, he just gets things done."
Randle's recruiting hasn't been a stressful deal because he has a lot of good people around him helping to guide the process, including Jones.
"That's my best friend," Randle told Sporting News. "We've been through so much together since fifth grade, and for us to be here now in this situation, we've been very blessed to get this far. He'll be my friend whether I go to Duke or not. That's just a friendship you can't break no matter what."
Devin Booker, a consensus top 100 national recruit for the 2014 class, got a first-hand view of Randle on Thursday. His Alabama Challenge AAU team is also loaded with Division I prospects, but it hardly mattered as Randle and the Titans steamrolled Booker's team.
"You don't usually see somebody who is 6-9 and 240 (pounds) who can move like that and can handle the ball," said Booker, a Mississippi native who has offers from Arkansas, Florida, Michigan and the in-state SEC schools, among others. "I have so much respect for him. He's so powerful. He's basically unstoppable, like a monster. At the LeBron camp one time I was guarding him and he used his body against me and pushed me out of the way with no problem. I was like 'wow'. But he just acts like another one of us off the court."

When he woke up he looked so delicious, and indeed even a Chinese FSM is delicious, his noodely appendages were the best food of my life, RAmen.
