IC-Games (Sep 07, 2008)
Those that have turned their back after the relatively poor showing of the previous titles can safely return and for those NFL fans that have yet to try this franchise, then you could not have hoped for a better introduction. Although for those that have no idea about NFL and haven't seen a game before, then either start watching (Five and Sky Sports cover the televised games in the UK) or try before you buy. One thing that can hardly be denied though is that Madden NFL 09, is the best American Football game out and the best in the franchises 20 year history.
GamesRadar (Aug 12, 2008)
Without a doubt, Madden 09 is still a day-one purchase for gridiron junkies. We'll happily play all season long, during which we'll invent a thousand more reasons to love and hate it all at the same time. No matter what, though, we'd be lying if we said we weren't a tad disappointed that this year's version didn't make the same jump we'd gotten accustomed to the last two years. We were ready for the '73 Dolphins, but got the '84 'Fins instead.
GameDaily (Aug 12, 2008)
In its defense, however, portable versions of Madden have never been as big as the console ones, likely because lack of storage and other hardware limitations. That being said, Madden NFL 09 can be a lot of fun and is a good way to get your football fix on the road. Just don't expect much from it.
Wonderwallweb.com (2008)
As a stand alone single player game this is not a bad outing, however the online really takes some of the shine away, add to that the PSP version has nothing to make you want it over the Wii and PS3 versions, this game is more of a sad second place rather
IGN (Aug 15, 2008)
It may have felt as though I was constantly bringing up last year's game, but that's because Madden 09 basically feels like you're playing Madden 08. The Rookie Mode is a good idea as far as helping get newcomers into the game, but the problem is that the majority of the "new" features in this year's game spring directly from that mode. That doesn't really push the title forward; it only places a mildly new spin on the pre-existing formula. It's still a decent game for fans to play, but if you were looking for a big leap forward for the portable version in the 20th edition of the franchise, you're not going to find it here.
Game Chronicles (Sep 03, 2008)
If you are looking for a portable version of the PS3 or 360 versions of Madden 09, you are going to be sorely disappointed. Madden NFL 09 on the PSP is a good game with its share of oversights and flaws. But it is the only NFL game on the PSP. So if you just have to play football with your favorite NFL team, Madden NFL 09 is the only game for you.
Cheat Code Central (2008)
For those who have taken a hiatus from the Madden series during the past couple of years, the PSP version of NFL 09 is the perfect opportunity to jump back into all the excitement and variety of game modes the franchise has to offer on the handheld version. If you already own last year's installment, Madden 07, or even the latest NCAA Football title and don't absolutely need to own every single EA football title on the market, you may want to skip this year and wait until something really groundbreaking comes out. It's disappointing to give a somewhat negative review to an otherwise good game.
Modojo (Aug 11, 2008)
For us, we'd rather see something different, a bunch of innovative modes that set the PSP Madden apart from the rest, and unfortunately, Rookie controls aren't enough. This is where EA needs to deliver a story mode or some sort of trivia game, something exciting we can't find anyplace else. Sure, Madden NFL 09 plays good (that's expected), but it feels too similar to Madden games of old and like a $39.99 roster update. For that kind of cash, we need more enticing content. However, if all you want is a cool football game to play in transit, this year's Madden is a neat, pint-sized version of its big brother.
Pocket Gamer UK (Aug 28, 2008)
Twenty years at the top and Madden is faltering badly – this 'update' offers little in terms of new content and should only be considered if you've passed on the previous PSP instalments.

Modern day conservatories are a lot different to how they used to be. They're designed to be warmer, offer great sound reduction properties, and there's a lot of additional features you can add to improve their comfort. While they were once only really suitable to be used during the hot summer months, these days they can easily be used all year-round.
If you'd like to transform your conservatory into a year-round room, here are a few suggestions of how to do it.
Ensure it has top quality windows
One of the most crucial parts of modern conservatory design is the windows. Ideally, you'll want to invest in double, or even triple glazed windows. This will provide fantastic sound reduction properties, as well as help to insulate the room, keeping it warmer during winter. You'll also be able to open the windows if it gets too hot in the summer.
While single glazing may be cheaper, it's not going to offer the same level of quiet and comfort as double or triple glazing. You could even consider adding a skylight which can be opened in the summer too, allowing maximum light into the conservatory.
Consider adding underfloor heating
Even with insulation and triple-glazed windows, your conservatory is still going to get cold in the winter months. While it is possible to add radiators, underfloor heating is a much better solution. You can use it on those chillier days, ensuring you can enjoy the conservatory no matter what time of year it is.
If you're worried about budget, you could always use portable heaters instead. However, you do need to keep an eye on portable heaters to ensure they don't pose a fire risk.
Add blinds to the roof and windows
While adding lots of windows is great, it can cause issues with visibility during the summer. The sun will easily reflect off the glass into your eyes, making it difficult to read or watch TV in the conservatory so it's a good idea to add blinds to the roof and windows. You can pick up affordable yet stylish conservatory blinds, that help to block out the sun when needed, and also add privacy to the conservatory.
It's really not as hard as you might think to turn your conservatory into a room that can be enjoyed all year round. These are some of the best ways to ensure you can comfortably use the conservatory no matter what the weather.

Portraiture Research by jemma mitchell
Francesca Woodman
Francesca Woodman (3rd April 1958-19th January 1981) was an American photographer best known for her black and white self-portrait images and images featuring woman. Woodman first produced her first self-portrait when she was thirteen years old in 1972 in Boulder, Colorado, beginning to develop her signature style of using her and her subjects bodies as a canvas and relating this to the space around her; she went on to produce at least 10,000 negatives using different cameras and film formats, using mostly medium format cameras producing 2-¼ by 2-¼ inch (6x6cm) square negatives. Most of Woodman's prints are 8 by 10 inches or smaller, which works to produce an intimate experience between the viewer and the photographer.
Woodman often shot in abandoned buildings, choosing buildings where the ruined plaster and cobwebbed floors gave her images an errie gothic feel. The purpose of Woodman's work is still up for debate but one aspect was to delve into the contrast of presence and absence, mixing the art forms of historian gothic, surrealism and 19th century spirit photography. An example of body of work that showed this was titled "self-deceit". It can be said that Woodman shot in black and white to detract from the distraction of colour and to draw an emotional connection to the subject. Interesting elements in Woodman's work was the use of having her subjects being nude, blurred (due to movement and long shutter speeds), merging their bodies with the surroundings and their faces obscured. The use of blur represents a ghostly form, the absence turning them into a form that is no longer part of society.
Relating her subjects to the space around her, they were often merged underneath wallpaper, using props such as furniture, mirrors or glass to compare the fragility of their bodies to the space, emphasizing the feeling that she wanted to disappear. Woodman also cropped images to dissect and draw attention to the human body. By using herself and her subject's bodies as expression she altered their identities to make the subjects feel grotesque. The discontinuity between the softness of her body and the gritty settings around her is what makes her photographs so influential.
When looking at Woodman's images, for future inspiration in my own photography work I would like to take away ideas of doing more self-portrait images and to create more feelings and emotion within my work so when individuals view my images they can take something away from it.
Examples of her work are shown below.
Man Ray
Man Ray (August 27th 1890- November 18th 1976) was an American visual artist who was well known for his Fashion and Portrait Photography, with his work being published in leading magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue . Ray displayed early artistic abilities within his childhood- choosing to pursue a career as an artist first. In 1913 whilst sharing a small shack in New York he was a frequent visitor to the 291 Gallery within the city. He then met and developed a close relationship with the gallery owner and photographer "Alfred Stieglitz" who introduced Ray to photography. Ray then spent most of his photographic career within France.
Through this Ray was a widely known representative of the Avantgarde Photography and is also seen as a pioneer of Surrealism Photography. Ray had a central stance within the Dadaism and Surrealist movements; through these movements the purpose of his photography work was to create new artistic expressions by generating work that went beyond the physical world, rejecting the incoherence of modern capitalist society, emphasizing the ridiculous. Ray was also inspired by the works of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's image titled "La Grande Baigneuse"; and took this inspiration in his portraiture work to represent distorted female figures. Examples of Ray's portraiture work which showcased this was his series of images titled "Ingre's Violin" which was taken in 1924; Ray transformed the female body into a musical instrument. He painted sound holes onto the back of her body, playing with the idea of objectifying an animate being. Another example of work is an image titled ""Bronislava Nijinska" which was a portrait of a 19th century polish dancer. Ray also photographed various portraits throughout his life from a record of celebrities of Parisian culture within the 1920s and 1930s. He also photographed artists, musicians and performers such as Catherine Deneuve, Pablo Picasso and Lee Miller.
Important and interesting elements within Ray's work is that from 1919 he experimented with various photographic techniques such as sandwich montage (placing two negatives on top of one another), double exposures and photo collages. His other experiments within the field included rediscovering how to make camera less pictures or "photograms" as it is known (this is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects onto a surface of light-sensitive material, for example photographic paper and exposing this to light). Ray also experimented with a technique called "Solarization" which causes part of a photographic image to become negative and part positive by exposing this print or negative to a flash of light during the development; Ray was one of the first artists to use this process.
When looking at Ray's photography, for inspiration in my future photography work I would like to experiment more in old photographic processes such as the processes Ray used and film photography instead of just picking up a DSLR camera as I feel that re-creating these processes on softwares such as Photoshop just isn't the same as physically creating them yourself by carrying out the process.
Below are examples of his work.

(Merkens v. Federal Insurance Co., Court of Appeals, Division One, Opinion, Filed 5/21/15)
In this bad faith case, the Court of Appeals was asked to address whether an injured worker, who was receiving active care and temporary total disability (TTD) can sue the workers compensation carrier for bad faith and recover unpaid benefits or damages without first challenging the carrier's termination of benefits at the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
Merkens was injured in 2010 and Federal Insurance Co. accepted the claim and paid her medical expenses and TTD. Following a series of independent medical exams (IMEs), Federal issued a notice terminating active medical care without permanent disability. She did not protest the closure, but elected to sue Federal in Superior Court for breach of contract and bad faith. The Superior Court judge granted Federal's motion for summary judgment, ruling that Merkens had failed to establish that any damages she suffered were separate and apart from her workplace injury.
On appeal, Merkens argued that she could pursue her bad faith claim without pursuing her administrative remedies and obtaining a final award from the ICA. The Court of Appeals disagreed. It held that the ICA has exclusive jurisdiction to determine if additional benefits were due by the carrier. If the ICA determined that, in fact, additional benefits were due, then a jury or Superior Court judge could determine if the Carrier's actions in closing the claim without permanent disability were in bad faith. Without such a finding, no bad faith claim could be pursued.

Rogue Nation is a run-in-the-mill sequel, but thanks to a new cast, old school spy thriller thrills, and purposeful direction, Mission Impossible still has what it takes to deliver a pure dose of action entertainment.
With the IMF disbanded, and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group takes on their most impossible mission yet. [Paramount Pictures]
Rogue Nation manages to deliver what the audience want and reinvigorate a franchise whose viability is in question.
The 5th Mission Impossible takes all the greatest hits from the previous movies and packs it in a lean spy-thriller plot. The movie's shifting alliances are reminiscent of the 90's original by Bryan De Palma. Action scenes are inspired by John Woo. Intricate all-set action set pieces follow the pattern of Bryan Bird's heart thumping work from Ghost Protocol.
Thanks to McQuarrie's purposeful direction (that made Edge of Tomorrow an above average flick) Rogue Nation is like a fun amusement ride with amusing twists and turns. He presents typical situations that you would expect from this kind of film – such as an assassination in the opera and heist in an underground facility – in an unconventional yet suspenseful way that makes it memorable.
Tom Cruise, even at 53, still has his megastar charisma. He portrays steely resolve with vulnerability through looks that hasn't aged since 30. Simon Pegg's character is expanded and provides the needed comic relief. The rest of the team are sidelined, but cool new additions are introduced. Alec Baldwin manages to pull off the most ridiculous line in the franchise so far – Ethan Hunt is the man of destiny! The movies makes a nod to Tinker Tailor, Spy by adding Simon McBurney.
However, it's the new designated femme fatale that outshines the rest of the cast. Ilsa Faust is a rare fleshed out female character who adds the emotional stakes in a technical movie. She isn't the predictable foil or love interest. She is given her own motivation, agency, and a bad ass fight scene. Rebecca Ferguson – thankfully not another stick thin actress – is a perfect fit for the mysterious capable agent who knows when to take off her heels.
Setting these components aside, its obvious that Rogue Nation is your run in the mill sequel. It rehashes the best parts of the previous films. It's the same old routine of Ethan and Co. getting abandoned by their overlords and fighting the secret big bad with vague motivations but clear intentions. Lists are stolen and identities are switched. Story details are glossed over. From the looks of it, nothing has and may never change.
But you can't deny that the movie works. Tom Cruise understands perfectly what his purpose is and what the franchise stands for.
In the end the movie parallels its own theme. How long will Hunt keep gambling his life in the face of never-ending villains? How long will Cruise keep gambling his ageing charisma by making the same reiteration of a movie?
For now, Rogue Nation proves that the franchise can still deliver what it has always done – ridiculously staged but fun action films with a charismatic lead.
My Rating: 8/10

The 21 st Annual Cheakamus Challenge took place on Saturday, Sept. 24 with a new course and some of the best racing conditions in the events long history.
There was a bit of trouble at the start, with a crash taking down several riders on the first gravel road section, but otherwise the day went smoothly for most of the field.
At the front, it was Tofinos Max Plaxton who set the pace this year. He was the first rider out of the Cheakamus Canyon, capturing the $100 Lumpy Leidal Prime presented by the Leidal family.
For Plaxton, 20, this was his fourth Cheakamus Challenge and the first time he won the event. He was second last year to Andreas Hestler, who admitted he had nothing left in the tank after racing hard in the West Side Wheel Up and Samurai of Singletrack the previous two weekends.
Plaxton finished the course in three hours, 10 minutes and 14 seconds, averaging 22.24 kilometres an hour on the almost 71 km course. He finished just three seconds up on 18-year-old Squamish rider Neal Kindree, who has emerged as one of Canadas top up and coming cross-country athletes.
Plaxton said it was a battle to keep the lead. "I definitely felt (Neal) a lot. At one point I was told I had about 30 seconds, so I knew he was closing the lead and he bridged up a lot on the singletrack. I was riding a little more conservatively, and that made it really close. Hes one to look out for, for sure."
Third place went to Ricky Federau of Abbotsford with a time of 3:13:57. Kris Neddon of Victoria was fourth, Michael Hunter of North Vancouver fifth, while Andreas Hestler was sixth by a fraction of a second.
Hestler had been going for wins in the Wheel Up, Samurai and Cheakamus Challenge, but knew early on that he didnt have it Saturday.
"Im tired," he said. "I had a flat up near the start, but that didnt throw me off too much. In a way it was over before it started. I kept pushing to get to the end, but it was all over long before that.
"When you race with these young guys you need to bring your A game, and I brought my C game C-plus maybe."
In the womens pro category it was Trish Sinclairs race from start to finish. She completed the course in 4:00:29, almost seven minutes ahead of Squamishs Meghan Kindree.
Whistlers Joanna Harrington was the third women across the line, in 4:08:16, just 1:02 back of Kindree.

As we previously reported, Chris Brown was locked up on Friday after getting thrown out of his rehab program. Brown was supposed to stay in rehab until his next court hearings in the DC case next month. The Judge in the Rihanna case ordered him to remain in the treatment facility after he completed his 90 day program in order to keep him away from the temptations that landed him in there in the first place.
It was feared over the weekend that Chris might have been fresh out of luck with the judge in the Rihanna case?and there was reason to be concerned too because that was absolutely correct!
The Rihanna judge is indeed OVER IT! As a result, Chris Brown will stay in jail until April 23! More than 30 days?and that?s for now! It could be longer!
TMZ posted the court proceedings?take a look…

100 Women, Downtown Boxing Gym Unite To Help Detroit Students' Reading Skills
Detroit students are receiving literacy help thanks to a unique form of philanthropy: a donation of $1,000 each from 100 women.
The Downtown Boxing Gym — which was recently pitched as a charitable idea to Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos by none other than Madonna — has been awarded a $100,000 grant by Impact100, an organization that pools $1,000 donations from 100 women to make a singular contribution.
The money pays for 61 six-week-long literacy intervention tutoring sessions provided by the group Beyond Basics.
Most students who come to Downtown Boxing Gym are one to three grade levels behind in reading skill, said Academic Coordinator Kristin Lusk.
"It can be frustrating to a child. It can weigh on your self-esteem and every other aspect of your life."
Why It's Needed
National Assessment Of Educational Progress test results showed that just 7 percent of eighth grade Detroit students were proficient in reading when tested in 2015.
More than 70 percent of students enrolled at Downtown Boxing Gym are students in the Detroit public schools, Lusk said. At the nonprofit's home in a former book-binding factory on the city's east side, even the hallways are used as classroom space. Despite its name, the No. 1 priority at Downtown Boxing Gym is education; the organization's slogan is "Books Before Boxing."
Students receive tutoring and mentoring, participate in physical fitness activities and are required to perform community service.
Downtown Boxing Gym students have a 100 percent high school graduation rate in the 10 years since the program began, according to the nonprofit.
"If money was no object, I'd like to expand to the whole city," Founder and CEO Khali Sweeney told Benzinga.
The Downtown Boxing Gym has 140 enrolled students and a waitlist of more than 750.

Women Uniting To Give Back
Impact100's metro Detroit chapter awarded $100,000 to the Downtown Boxing Gym after a selection process that began with 75 nonprofit organizations in the area.
The final step was a May 11 presentation by the three front-runner organizations in front of the 100 women.
The 8-minute presentations had "no slides, no tear-jerking videos [and] no PowerPoints," said Amy Bouque, a founding member of the Impact100 metro Detroit chapter and a human resources executive at Ally Financial Inc (NYSE: ALLY).
"Just stand there and tell us: 'Why you?'"
The metro Detroit chapter of Impact100 is in its second year. The group's goal is to reach 200 members and give out two $100,000 grants next year, Bouque said.
Impact100 members are contributing their own money, and the group is accordingly focused on being a good steward of the funds, Bouque said.
Grants are paid in installments as benchmarks are hit, and the recipients of the money are monitored to ensure it's being used appropriately.
"We're pretty risk-averse. Each woman is giving $1,000."
Fellow member Linda Kleist, the cofounder of Identity Creative, said Impact100's collective giving model allowed her to be a part of a larger philanthropic effort — and to learn about the charitable work underway in the Detroit area.
"I don't know anything about how to help a nonprofit in this way on my own. Any woman can join [Impact100], be a part of it and learn more."

1993 Upper Deck, Juan Guzman
#266 Juan Guzman
Last month, I posted my other Juan Guzman card. It was a '93 Score Select and was so glossy that the signature was barely visible, just like the Dave Fleming card from a couple of days ago. I must have thought that Juan was going to be a much better player than Dave because I sent him another card to get signed. Rather than sending him a Topps or Score card, the only two sets that year that weren't overly glossy, I sent him an Upper Deck card. Amazingly, this card came out much better looking than the Select and the Dave Fleming. I guess that I just got lucky on this one.

THE challenge to reinterpret Liberty's iconic floral prints is a textile designer's dream, so you can imagine how ecstatic four students from Central Saint Martins must have been, when, this week, it was announced that their designs would be incorporated into the Liberty autumn/winter 2008-9 fabric collection. Frances Liu, Youlee Kim, Ginny Lischler and Nicola Woolley have all won a cheque for £250 as part of the prize - which was presented to them at a Champagne reception on Tuesday in the London department store - as well as the opportunity to be mentored by the fabric design team at Liberty. "I am very excited that students from second year fashion print are working on a sponsored project with Liberty Fabrics. Liberty has an unparalleled reputation for print design and their archives contain a very rich history and wealth of inspiration for fashion students," said Willie Walters, Central Saint Martins' BA (Hons) Fashion course director. "I am very impressed with the quality of work and enthusiasm shown," added Emma Mawston, head of design at Liberty Fabric. "These four finalists presented their take on Liberty small floral prints in a fresh and novel way."

use the force
DFTS12. Here's a very effective idea borrowed from my favorite Swede once again. This is a technique I heard used in "Rising Force" from Yngwie Malmsteen's Odyssey disc. Go get it, if you don't have it already. Anyway, it's a combination of sweep picking and legato technique with a bit of pivot/pedal tone action. Once you get the idea down, it's fairly easy to develop somewhat difficult sounding lines, without too much effort.

John Tetzel, as one historian described him, "was a short, dumpy, stump-preacher who was very good at the business of selling indulgences." He was so good at it that in the Fall of 1517 he was sent to Germany to announce a special plenary indulgence that, the Papacy hoped, would bring in the amount of money it needed to finish building St. Peter's basilica in Rome.
The special indulgence Tetzel peddled to the German people was so broad in its definition that just purchasing it seemed to be the actual means of freeing people from purgatory. Not a repentant heart, true faith, or even a desire to earn God's grace was necessary. Money talked in this case, and Tetzel used all his skills as a public speaker to bend the peoples' ear to his message.
Tetzel would go from town to town and deliver the same stirring message: "Do you not hear the voices of your dead relatives and others, crying out to you and saying, 'Pity us, pity us, for we are in dire punishment and torment from which you can redeem us for a pittance'? And you will not?" Then, in his concluding appeal, "Will you not then for a quarter of a florin receive these letters of indulgence through which you are able to lead a divine and immortal soul safely and securely into the homeland of paradise?" Then at the very end, Tetzel would say, "Once the coin into the coffer clings, a soul from purgatory heavenward springs!"
In every town, Tetzel's preaching filled money boxes for the papacy. The German people, concerned for their family and loved ones' souls, bought indulgences in record numbers. And before anyone could reconsider their decision, Tetzel and his entourage of soldiers, musicians, and actors were on to the next town.
Due to the power of his delivery and the amount of money being gathered up, Luther knew about Tetzel's methods far in advance of the little preacher's appearance in Wittenberg. In fact, Luther was so upset by the news he received about Tetzel that he finally spoke publicly about it, calling Tetzel's mission, "The pious defrauding of the faithful." And others, following Luther, referred to it as "Roman bloodsucking."
But, Tetzel expected this push back. It was, in his experience, normal for some amongst the nobles and clergy to oppose his work for financial reasons, if not for theological ones too. This time however, it would turn out different for him. Instead of riding out of Germany with boxes of gold and silver, a very different outcome was waiting for him in Wittenberg.
Next week we will examine what happened when Luther publicly opposed not only Tetzel, but the sale of indulgences altogether.

Dr. Nikko is seriously the greatest plastic surgeon in Houston. My wife had wanted to get a breast augmentation for a few years and had gone through a few consultations with plastic surgeons in the area, but she never felt comfortable or trusted any of them enough to schedule the surgery. When my wife saw Dr. Nikko on the news, she got really excited and scheduled a consultation, and I went with her. Everyone at the office was incredibly nice and Dr. Nikko was a pretty cool professional guy. He answered every question that we had and made my wife feel so calm about the procedure that she immediately scheduled the surgery. The swelling and pain didn't last long at all, and I have to say that my wife was beautiful before, but now she just looks stunning. She loves the work done and so do I. Call him, you won't regret it! More
Dr. Nikko has the greatest team - Dr. Nikko has the greatest team, they are caring and helpful. From the moment I called them, I did not feel like another number. All the ladies are nice and respectful- I never heard them gossiping as I experienced this at another office. Dr. Nikko did an amazing job on my rhinoplasty, I LOVE my new nose, I find myself looking at the mirror more now. More
Dr.Nikko gave me just what I wanted! - I have been wearing padding and tried all kinds of target exercises but nothing gave me the permanent results I wanted. I decided to get a buttock augmentation with Dr. Nikko because of he is very skilled of using the FAMI technique. My experience with Dr. Nikko and his staff was wonderful. They are very caring and the great treatment was consistant until my last post op visit. He is very charming and knowledgeable - I am very satisfied with my results. My buttocks is now fuller and lifted just as I always wanted! More
Great Doctors! - I couldnt' be more thankful to Dr. Nikko and his wonderful staff! They did a wonderufl job on my recent breast augmentation. I'd had a few consults around town and just didn't fell 100% until I met Dr. Nikko. He really listens to what you want! I highly recommend him! More
Caring Doctor and Staff - From the moment I heard them ask... ""How may I care for you"", I was impressed. I had been considering a surgeon based first only on location. I hated the thought of commuting when I live inside the loop. So once I narrowed the list down, the rest of my decision was quite easy. Dr. Nikko is a solo practitioner. That was very attractive to me. I wanted to be treated as a valuable patient by the doctor and his staff... not run through a large, multi-doctor clinic in possible ""cattle call"" fashion. Although I've only needed a handful of follow up visits, his staff know my name each and every time I walk in the door. I've been comfortable throughout, from the first consultation to my recent exit interview. I'm pleased with the results and I would strongly recommend Dr. Nikko and his clinic to everyone. More
Best Doctor in Houston! - I never thought I would go through with my breast augmentation surgery until I met with Dr. Nikko and his staff. Their professionalism and knowledge, which included numerous before and after photos, were absolutely instrumental in choosing which doctor to trust. After consulting with countless surgeons in the Houston area, I knew I had found the best. Since completion of my surgery, the doors to my modeling career and other opportunities have become wide open. Words cannot even describe how happy I am with my new look. I look and feel wonderful, but without the support of my family, friends, and definitely Dr. Nikko, my experience would not have been the same More
Very Happy - I had my breast augmentation 15 months ago and I am so very happy. My results are wonderful and Dr. Nikko listened to all of my concerns. I do not agree with a review I read about someone not wanting a surgery because he does the procedure in his office and not a hospital? They have a wonderful, very qualified staff with an anesthesiologist by your side the whole time. I don't understand what would be difference in a hospital location. Dr. Nikko was there anytime I needed him through my recovery, he actually returned my phone calls when I had questions and was very patient with me. His nurses were AWESOME! I wish I could remember their names. Very caring and thorough. I am very glad that I chose Dr. Nikko for my surgery. He did an exceptional job and it couldn't have been better. More
Most caring staff in Houston. - After consulting with 3 of Houston's ""top surgeons"", I decided to go with Dr. Nikko because he and his staff really seem to care about their patients. I wasn't just some other consult who was ""in & out"". They actually took the time to get to know me, and always remembered my face and name. Not to mention He gave me an awesome breast augmentation!

Fowler focused on team success
North Queensland Fury FC's marquee man Robbie Fowler says he'll judge his first season in the Hyundai A-League on the success of his team rather than the number of goals he accumulates.
North Queensland Fury FC's marquee man Robbie Fowler says he'll judge his first season in the Hyundai A-League on the success of his team rather than the number of goals he accumulates.
Speaking at the official launch of the 2009/10 season in Sydney on Monday, the former England striker declared himself physically and mentally ready for Saturday's historic clash against Sydney FC in Townsville.
But while the spotlight is sure to remain firmly focused on the former Liverpool star, he made it clear he is far more interested in bringing instant success to his fledgling club than adding to his own legend.
"I just want to do as well as what I can and if we're successful as a team then great," Fowler said.
"If I'm successful as an individual then that's great as well but as long as the team does well I'll settle for that."
While content to be a team player, the fourth most prolific scorer in the history of the English Premier League admits he still has a hunger for goals.
But the softly spoken 34-year-old refused to heap added pressure on himself by predicting the number of times he will find the back of the net.
"If you set yourself targets and you don't reach them then you've failed," he said.
"I want to obviously do as well as I can and I obviously want to score as many goals as I can but I will never set myself targets."
"It's not because I've come to a new league, all through my career I've never done it."
Asked if he is expecting extra attention from rival clubs desperate to get one over on him, Fowler conceded he doesn't know what to expect.
"To be honest I've not got a clue, I don't know how people see me," he said.
"All I can do is just go out and try and play my game and if it means more people on me then that leaves a little bit of space for others to capitalise so we'll just see what happens," he said.
The father of four insists he has already adapted to the Townsville heat and says he's in the best physical shape he's been in for several years.
"I've not played as many games as I would have liked pre-season but obviously, it's not great for me but I feel good at the minute and obviously the season starts soon and I'm feeling as good as what I have done for a long time," he said.
But despite his confidence, Fowler is under no illusions ahead of Saturday's clash with the Sky Blues.
"It's going to be a tough game," he said.
"Every game's going to be tough because obviously we're a new team, we've got 23 new players in the squad regardless of whether we're playing Sydney or anyone else so all the games are going to be tough."
"In saying that it's a great start to a new league for us playing one of the glamour clubs, and it'll be a big test because we played them not so long ago in a friendly and didn't do too well."

Day 16
When I went outside this morning, I noticed that the Pineapples were progressing nicely- that is, all except a lagging bunch of three. Why must this always happen? Ah well, at least the watering is much reduced now that the pumpkins are gone, enabling me to go out and buy wine for Karen shortly after 9am, safe in the knowledge that the farm tasks have been completed.
In the afternoon, I finally decided to dismantle the fence separating crops and grass- not only does it get in the way of harvesting, but half of it has rotted now to my lack of attention to it (well, there are better things to do than continually repair fences). I also made sure to cut some more grass and ride Seiran- he must be kept happy at any cost.
Day 17
Today was another of the quiet days I have become accustomed to, consisting of pottering around the farm and completing the usual tasks before cutting a little grass and then riding Seiran around the field for a while. No one can know of the private moments between a man and his horse, a relationship that provides things no woman can.
Day 18
The barn is a strange place sometimes, for within its depths I have seen cows walk through each other, creating mysterious multi-cow masses the like of which few have ever witnessed. Perhaps it was this that caused me to accidentally spill some fodder today, or perhaps it was the strain of my repetitive lifestyle. Whatever the case, today was spent in much the same fashion as yesterday, albeit with a fresh tomato harvest to attend to. After neglecting him so often, I have now found a new contentment riding Seiran around the fields, and so my afternoons shall be spent in this fashion whenever I am able to do so.
Day 19
Another crop of corn was ready today, and so the bulk of the day was spent harvesting it and turning it into chicken feed. I also had a visit from Barley to remind me that tomorrow is the day of the Cow Festival- I have entered Colbrech this year, in the hopes that she too can start producing golden milk. In the future, everything my farm produces shall be golden.
Day 20
Since it was the Cow Festival today, I set out to complete all tasks before attending, but unfortunately my general state of exhaustion and the soporific effect of the warm sunlight, I fell asleep under my apple tree until 2pm! Upon waking up, I realised how terribly I late I was, and rushed to the festival- where, as usual, everyone spouted the same stock phrases instead of even commenting on my tardiness. As I predicted, however, Colbrech easily took the prize at the festival, and so now she too will produce gold milk for me.
Day 21
The outdoor pineapples were ready today, and so the morning was spent harvesting them for pure profit- pineapples were once the making of my fortune, but now they are a mere addendum to my lucrative dairy and mayonnaise business.
The afternoon was spent clearing weeds and cutting grass, before taking Seiran for a quick ride and then turning in for the evening. Poor Karen, she must be feeling neglected, but it is her fault for having expensive tastes and a difficult schedule to marry up with my own.
Day 22
The lagging pineapples and another batch of tomatoes were ready today, although I must admit that I have perhaps overdone it with storing tomatoes, as I now have 51 in the fridge. Anyway, once all the usual tasks were completed, I forced myself to go into town and buy wine for Karen- a tedious task but a necessary one if I am to make her fall under my spell. If only Manna would let me buy eight bottles of wine at once- I feel like such an idiot having to stand there and ask to buy them one at a time.
Day 23
Another harvest of corn was ready today, and so the bulk of the day was devoted to turning it into chicken feed- at least until I finally filled up my feed bin with 999 units of it. I was initially going to ship the rest of the corn, but in the end I decided to store it in the fridge so that it can be turned into chicken feed at a later date.
Day 24
Since it was the Fireworks Festival today, I couldn't just go to bed mid-afternoon as usual, so instead I busied myself with trivial tasks on the farm before collecting Pink Flowers from Mother's Hill for the first time in ages and riding Seiran for a few hours- all designed to keep me occupied until 6pm. Finally, I made my way down to the beach, only to discover that Popuri had somehow got there before me (once again, Tony was left alone at home). Just as we did last year, Popuri and I watched the fireworks together before going home- although when she wasn't looking I made sure to chat to the other girls.
Day 25
Even though I stayed up late to watch the fireworks last night, it was business as usual this morning, with all the usual tasks to complete plus a particularly virulent bunch of weeds to deal with. Once everything was done, I contemplated cutting a large "ANTON" into the tall grass, but ultimately decided this was a little too pointless and immature even for someone whose life has become as crushingly repetitive as mine.
Day 26
Some more tomatoes were ready today, but bearing in mind the number I already have stored in the fridge, I decided to ship these ones- surely all but the most alarmingly enthusiastic of cooks can make do with 51. After this and all the other tasks were completed, I decided that a visit to town was in order, and so after buying a fresh batch of wine I met Karen outside the supermarket. Although Rick was watching us, I boldly gave her all the wine, and to my delight, it increased her affection for me to yellow heart level! She now seems more enamoured with me than ever, telling me how impressed she is that someone her age is running a farm.
I cannot say that it has escaped my notice that my life, and thus the diary that mirrors it, has become even more monotonous than ever of late, and therefore I shall try to add a little variety by using slow days to compile "Anton's Guide to…", a distillation of the handy tips and tricks I have learnt from two and half years in farming hell.
Day 27
A bumper crop of pineapples and corn was ready today, and so the bulk of the day was spent harvesting them (the pineapples for shipping, the corn for storage) before cutting down their respective plants- aside from the lagging specimens, there is not time for the plants to produce any more crops before the cool autumn breeze causes them to wilt and die. Between the corn and stored chicken feed, I should be free from spending money at Chicken Lil's for a long time to come.
Day 28
The last few outdoor pineapples were ready today, and so when they were done, I decided to give thanks for the bounty of my farm by offering five of them up to the Harvest Goddess (I'm not religious, but when a goddess lives next door, it doesn't hurt to make friends with her). In return, she promised to give me a special event with my 'sweetheart', but to my disappointment, all that happened was that I saw Popuri on her way to have a bath in the hotsprings. Oddly, however, she vanished as soon as she got there, and when I went home, she was already there! Was it just an illusion, or can Popuri teleport? She does move from the house to festival locations amazingly swiftly, after all.
Day 29
Since the number of fish in the pond has remained at 75 for a while, it seems as if that may be the maximum I can have (still quite an impressive number for such a small pond), therefore five of them have been taken out and shipped.
In other news, today was the first rainy day for a while; how typical for it to start raining once I have barely anything left outside to water. With the lack of crops ensuring that farm tasks were completed swiftly, I had ample time to visit Karen and give her more wine- I only hope that I am not turning her into an alcoholic. I must also note that Karen's living area is but a single room that also contains two beds- presumably one for Karen and one for her parents. Are Jeff and Sasha celibate, or is poor Karen forced to listen to their, ahem, 'congress', from the next bed? Surely the supermarket must be generating enough profit for them to build an extension for separate sleeping areas.
Day 30
The last day of this long, hot summer has finally arrived, and to my disappointment, the tomatoes had not produced any more fruit, making the last few days of watering them a complete waste of time. At least some hothouse pineapples were ready to take away the sting of seeing those green and unripened tomatoes.
During the day, I made sure to go into town- not just to present Karen with more wine, but to pick up some seeds in preparation for the autumn planting. As well as buying one bag of eggplant, two bags each of carrot and spinach and five bags of sweet potato seeds from the supermarket, I hung around until after lunch to catch Won at the Inn and purchase a bag of green pepper seeds from him. I also discovered that my relationship with Ann and Doug has been strong enough for them to grant me access to their private living quarters, so naturally I had a good look around before going home again.
