Born in 1959 - Portugal
Aurore de Sousa was born in 1959 in Portugal. She lives and works in Grenoble. Aurore de Sousa has had shows regularly since 1996, in France and abroad. She has studied at the Grenoble Art School.
Influenced by the Land Art movement of the '70s, she addresses photography by exploring issues such as the act of walking and landscape. This experience is decisive and, in 1991, she decided to devote herself to photography. She has also created portraits and was interested in the female body. From 1994 onwards, her work is focused mainly on a poetic approach on themes such as identity, memory, and time, which she develops through several photo series.
In 2005, during a photographic residency in Lisbon she had the opportunity to explore the relationship between urban and intimate space. Since 2009, she has been focusing on series of photographs that question the poetic of gardens and of the body.

Loved the fit, and nice pattern
nicola hayward, 30/11/2014 01:47
A lovely fitting top with exactly the right support I needed as a bigger busted lady. Comfortable and well shaped. Do be aware the inside bra support can be a bit tricky to do up at first due to the top being so stretchy but after a few times of wearing it you get used to it easily enough. Would definitely recommend this site and items to others.
M Chapman, 19/10/2014 14:26
Nice colours, good fit.would definately buy from this range again.
Temi Fagade, 16/09/2014 00:13
Highly recommended. Firstly, the bra cups were great and comfortable. This beautiful n colorful tankini top flaunted my curves so very well, pity I forgot to order the pants along with it.
I must commend the customer service team for regular updates and follow ups
Hayley, 14/09/2014 07:14
A lovely tankini by Curvy Kate. Colours are vibrant and the pattern is very nice. I would say the item is true to size and length and fit are very good too. This was my first purchase from the Curvy Kate range and it won't be the last, also my fist purchase from Brastop and it was great, they kept me updated on my order status - brilliant as this was purchased for a last minute getaway!
Hilda, 10/09/2014 09:27
Lovely soft fabric with really nice design. Fits perfectly. Sometimes need a hand to fasten it as it's a little awkward when fasteners are inside the top.
Would recommend.
Lottie, 16/08/2014 18:18

Its nice to see such a beautiful tankini is available to bigger women such as myself. I personally found the cups inside to be very comfortable and supportive.

Great Experience
Sail Date: February 21, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Balcony
We have been on several cruises and this one was one of the nicest.The ship was beautiful, lots of wood detail like you see on older wooden boats. The ship was one of the cleanest we have been on. The help was very friendly and always going the next mile for you. It's amazing how they go from one to the next cruise and never miss a beat. The stateroom was a balcony and was very nice. I missed having a coffee pot in the room as all of the other ships we taken had one. The departing and arrival back in port went very smoothly. They really have it down and it moves right along.The only complaint we had was the open dining rooms. The food tables are set up independently by food groups and so people were moving about like in a maze. There was no direction so by the time you had all your choices your food was usually cold. They need better direction to move in so everyone goes the same way. We would definitly take another Royal Caribbean cruise with hopes they find a better way in the open dining rooms.The independent dining rooms were excellant.

If you like being on the ship more than going to so many different ports this cruise is for you. We had plently of time on the ship aand not coming and going which we enjoyed.But that is one of the reasons we took this particular cruise. Some cruises you are at a different port everyday.

After a June 17 start at Comerica Park in Detroit, Jeremy Guthrie's ERA for the season was 7.02 and he was pulled from the rotation. Since then, Guthrie really hasn't pitched bad. He's lowered his ERA almost a full run as he's allowed just 10 earned runs in 24.1 innings. Guthrie was solid in relief as he pitched primarily in the middle innings like a piggyback starter before returning to the rotation. Since then, he's made two starts that were both pretty good. He went six innings and allowed just two earned runs in both starts, against the Nationals and Cardinals respectively. Guthrie also allowed six hits and one walk in both outings.
One important note about Guthrie's last two starts is that both have also come on the road. Away from Coors Field this year, Guthrie carries a 3.67 ERA in 49 innings. Of course, he has a 9.44 ERA at Coors, which has ruined his ERA for the season. Still, his road ERA should make him at least mildly attractive to a contending team looking for help during the stretch run. We know the Rockies are looking to move him as they not so quietly made him available last month.
A team in the National League would be ideal for Guthrie, but he still has a track record of success in the AL East. As long as he's not pitching at Coors Field, Guthrie would be a good candidate to eat some back end of the rotation innings down the stretch for a team that lacks pitching depth and doesn't want to part with top tier prospects. An injury to some team's rotation could create The Opening for Guthrie on another team.
Rockies top prospect Nolan Arenado is grinding out the year in Tulsa and according to General Manager Dan O'Dowd that's where he'll likely finish it. Arenado is hitting .282/.334/.405 in 82 games with the Drillers and makeup questions surround his play. O'Dowd told the Denver Post a few weeks back that Arenado's "maturity level had not yet matched his talent level." This is more or less the same sentiment I've heard from scouts who've seen Arenado over the last month.
This past Sunday, Arenado represented the Rockies at the Futures Game in Kansas City as part of the MLB All-Star festivities. Arenado also represented the Rockies at last year's Futures Game and his stock has dropped just a bit due to his underwhelming season this year, so the scouting buzz was considerably diminished compared to a season ago. One scout who was there told me there was no buzz around Arenado and that he barely noticed he was even there. That may sound harsh, but with all of the high end talent at the Futures Games it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
Arenado had a solid single in the game, but the reports about his lacking approach and maturity may have been confirmed before the game. During batting practice at the Futures Game, a lot of the players will put on a show to impress all of the media, scouts, and front office personnel on the field. According to people who saw batting practice, Rymer Liriano, Mike Olt, and Oscar Taveras stole the show. Not only was Arenado's batting practice session nothing to write home about, but at one point Team USA manager George Brett pulled him aside to tell him to relax and not swing harder than he would during a game.
Arenado was pressing, which players tend to do when they aren't having success. He's young and hopefully he'll learn from this and be better for it, but right now Arenado is still in that learning stage. He played 134 games plus the Arizona Fall League last year and that's the most he's ever played in a single season. Playing out the string at Double-A this year will be beneficial for Arenado as he can continue to grind it out while hopefully putting to use some of the lessons he's learned thus far.

Currently unavailable: for new students
Degree: Maths, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics (Bachelors) - Warwick University
I started tutoring in the summer before my degree and have since taught in a variety of settings such as peer teaching classes at University and briefly teaching English to 12+ students in China. I also volunteered abroad In Kenya as part of a UK government scheme to teach entrepreneurship skills to local youth. Most recently I have been teaching GCSE and A-Level online and offline after developing a rigorous program for each individual pupil.
I gained Upper Second Class Honours in Maths, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics at Warwick University and took 4 A*/A grades at A level (including Further Maths which I learnt myself during a Gap Year) and ten A*/As at GCSE (including IGCSE Maths taken 1 year early).
What's unique is that I am also experienced in the private sector having undertaken multiple internships at investment banks in between studying at Warwick University and shortly after graduation in early 2014. So for A Level students already with ambitions of breaking into the City I am able to assist by offering careers guidance as well as CV and Cover Letter advice, having also been the sole Careers and Skills representative for my department at University. With the graduate market becoming ever more saturated, I can offer insight and demonstrated expertise in landing multiple job offers even before graduation!
These are some of my educational principles:
- I will keep all stakeholders in the loop; that means showing parents how their child is progressing. I reply to emails as quickly as possible.
- I think of the whole learning experience as an entire revision period whilst spending time on creating a solid foundation first.
- I also believe each person has innate strengths and thus will tailor the learning experience to promote faster growth and development.
Thank you. Jim

Firstly, understanding how to construct a histogram will make understanding the Normal Distribution aka Gaussian Distribution much easier.
It is still an arrangement of a data set in which most values cluster in the middle of the range and the rest taper off symmetrically toward either extreme. The result is a bell-shaped curve which we can describe using two factors: mean and standard deviation. Just like a histogram, the more area there is, the more data points there are. However, the Normal Distribution gives us a probability instead.
The precise shape can vary according to the distribution of the population but the peak is always in the middle and the curve is always symmetrical. In a normal distribution, the mean, mode and median are all the same.see more
The Phillips curve shows the inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation named after British economist AW Phillips.
Once inflation and unemployment rates were plotted on a scatter diagram, the data appeared to demonstrate an inverse and stable relationship between inflation and unemployment.
The curve suggested that changes in the level of unemployment have a direct and predictable effect on the level of price inflation. The accepted explanation during the 1960's was that a fiscal stimulus, and increase in AD, would trigger the following sequence of responses:
An increase in the demand for labour as government spending generates growth.
The pool of unemployed will fall.
Firms must compete for fewer workers by raising nominal wages.
Workers have greater bargaining power to seek out increases in nominal wages.
Wage costs will rise.
Faced with rising wage costs, firms pass on these cost increases in higher prices.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, is in a Khartoum prison cell after being arrested on suspicion of blasphemy on Sunday. Ms Gibbons, who taught primary-age children at the Unity High School in Khartoum, allowed her class of seven-year-olds to name a Teddy bear Muhammad as part of a lesson about animals' habitats.
Muhammad is sacred to Islamic philosophy and the penalty for blasphemy is 40 lashes, a large fine or a jail term.
As the British Embassy in Khartoum confirmed Ms Gibbons' arrest and a possible prosecution, her neighbours in leafy Aigburth, Liverpool, spoke of their shock.
Peter Sorensen, 64, a retired maintenance worker, who lived next door to Ms Gibbons for more than 20 years, said she had dedicated her life to teaching children.
He said: "Gillian was a very nice person and wouldn't harm a fly. It is ridiculous what has happened. She left a note before she left saying she would see us at Christmas so she was planning on coming back."
Mr Sorenson lived next door to the teacher and her two children John and Jessica, believed to be in their mid-twenties, for more than 20 years. He said: "She will be going through hell in jail over there."
Ms Gibbons moved to Sudan after the break-up of her 32-year marriage to Peter Gibbons, also a teacher. He was unavailable for comment.
A spokesman for the British Embassy in Khartoum said: "The children chose the name because it is very common here. This happened in September and the parents did not have a problem with it. We are in contact with the authorities here and they have visited the teacher and she is in a good condition."
A source close to the school said one teacher was angered by the naming of the Teddy bear and complained to the headmistress. Ms Gibbons's children declined to comment about her arrest.Reuse content

- How do I buy a vehicle online?
- We offer several purchasing alternatives for your convenience. The Cash Price option allows you to use a major credit card or a Paypal account to complete the transaction in full (which is the sale price plus local taxes). You have the choice of paying in full or speaking with a representative to complete the financial terms. If you choose the Finance Price option, click Contact Customer Service, and a customer representative will promptly contact you to walk you through the steps and terms required for financing the purchase. An alternative for most vehicles is the 24 Hour Hold Deposit. This is a deposit that will put the vehicle on hold for 24 hours. This allows you to book a test drive, to go through all the terms, and to address any potential questions or issues that you may have with the purchase.
- "Reserve Now" How does it work? Can I get my money back?
- If you're interested in a vehicle, but you don't feel like maxing out your credit card, then we recommend you put a 24hr hold on it. Holds require a refundable deposit. This is just an authorization on your credit card, and if you change your mind, we'll return your money. Please note: in order to make things fair, No Shows result in no refund. After you place a hold, we will contact you to confirm your interest in the vehicle. At that time, you can schedule a test drive or a viewing of the vehicle. If you don't like what you see, you are NOT COMMITTED to purchase the vehicle.
- What's a No Show?
- A No Show is when you don't call, write, text, or visit our retail store within 24hrs of your deposit. No Show's will lose their deposit, so please show up.
- Once I pay for the vehicle online, do I own it?
- NO! Sorry to be so blunt, but this is important. If you purchase a vehicle through the website, you still need to complete a Bill of Sale as well as any other necessary legal paperwork or terms. While the payment of the vehicle may be complete, there is still an absolute need for this paperwork to be done. It can be completed at the dealership, electronically, or delivered in-person, depending on the vehicle, terms of finance, or location.
- What if I don't live in Alberta?
- Our e-Commerce capabilities are for Alberta only, Provincial Laws apply. If outside Alberta, please feel free to contact our staff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- What happens to my credit card and other private information?
- When you sign in to your account, we take precautions to protect your account. First, whenever you sign in to your Koch account, you sign in using a secure server connection (https://). We use the industry standard 256-bit encryption technology. This is the same level of encryption used by large banks to keep your information secure. Koch Ford knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting KochFord.com, DKford.com or KochFordLincoln.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
- If I don't like the vehicle, can I get a refund?
- Our refund policy covers the 48 hours starting after the initial online purchase. We do not offer refunds once a vehicle has been delivered and a bill of sale has been signed. If there are any concerns about the vehicle you are purchasing or the financial terms, we highly recommend using the 24 Hour Hold option to ensure that everything is in order. Please note, there may be exceptions to the refund policy when it comes to Flash Sale vehicles. In some of these cases, the purchase is defined as Final if the customer chooses to purchase it online.
- What are the terms to your online price?
- All pricing and details are believed to be accurate, but we do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy. The prices shown above, may vary from region to region, as will incentives, and are subject to change. Vehicle information is based off standard equipment and may vary from vehicle to vehicle. Call or email for complete vehicle specific information.
- What if I have further questions?
- The easiest method of contact is to use the Chat Widget provided, or to email us at: email@example.com. You can also call us toll-free: 1-877-752-3492

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121165 Priority: P3 Bug ID: 121165 Assignee: firstname.lastname@example.com Summary: AnimatedImages : need to start the ImageSet at a given position Severity: normal Issue Type: DEFECT Classification: Code OS: All Reporter: email@example.com Hardware: All Status: CONFIRMED Version: AOO 3.4.1 Component: code Product: api Created attachment 79735 --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=79735&action=edit Zip containing a Writer document and 6 images If (c.s.s.awt.XAnimatedImages) AutoRepeat is set to True, when you stop the animation, then start it again, the animation continues from the current displayed image. This is not optimal since in general the animation should start at the first image. It will be problematic for long sequences. If AutoRepeat is set to False, you can only run the entire ImageSet once, since the last image is currently displayed. The solution to both cases would be to have a means (method, attribute or other) to set the starting point (an index with a default value of zero). In long sequences it may be interesting to start at some specific positions depending on the context. Attachment is a zip containing AnimatedProblems.odt and 6 png images. Unzip all in the same folder. Run the macro. You can start and stop animation, and use or not AutoRepeat. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Justin King
June 23rd, 2014
This awesome photo manipulation design is by Platt College alumni Justin King. Using a photo he took last year while heading back from Mammoth Mountain on Highway 395, he then mirrored it to add the trippy symmetry using Photoshop. Most of the work including the galactic sky , was done in Photoshop. However he also used 2 iOS apps called Fragment and Mextures to complete the overall look.

Let me impress you with my holiday soup (just kidding)
No one wants to embarrass themselves at a multicultural Christmas dinner (or ever)…. but if you're not careful, that's exactly what you might do. Let me take you back in time to Christmas 2013 when my parents joined Tom and me, along with his parents, for a fun week up in the Brittany region of France. My dad enjoys cooking and wanted to make one of his traditional Christmas specialties from the US to impress my French in-laws. Except if Tom hadn't stopped him, his star dish in the US would have left my French in-laws scratching their heads and the exact opposite of impressed.
Luckily, I went over the menu with Tom beforehand and we made the necessary changes before we even went shopping for the ingredients. We had a lovely lobster bisque instead.
What was the soup my dad was going to make and why is it a faux pas? Here's the quick story for you.

Large leafed climber
Observed: 17th May 2011 By: Lynne Preston
Added: 17th May 2011
This plant is climbing, and has the large leaves seen here. It has been in its present spot for at least 4 years but never flowers. Does anyone know what it is, please?
Other observations of Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)
Kiwi Vine (Actinidia deliciosa)
It looks very much like the kiwi vine I have been growing up my back yard. If it is then you will soon need to build a trellis to support it. Mine has never flowered - I just thought it was not warm enough in Scotland but if it does flower I have read that the bees dont like the smell of it and you might have to fool the bees into pollinating it by planting a highly scented plant close by.

better chapters ahead ..
Since becoming a parent at the young age of 19 my...
Since becoming a parent at the young age of 19 my life has been all about sacrifice , giving and others .. I work hard to be the best mother and provider for my son . As a single parent I focused on school my child and finally building a wonderful career . 3 years ago I met the love of my life . She is just amazing . And after 12 years I now have another wonderful baby boy . Carried by my wife . And yet even after all the wonderful accomplishments and beautiful family I don't feel complete . My body has me so insecure . Through highs and lows in my life I gained quite a bit of weight . In 2012 I decided I needed to love myself and take care of me and lost the weight . But even at my lowest weight I feel terrible . Can't stand to look at my self naked . My wife tells me how beautiful and perfect I am to her but she tells me I need to see myself how she sees me . And so she is supporting me in every way to complete my journey w a tummy tuck w lipo . The more I feel selfish spending that kind of money the more she encourages me and pushes me . Made me go to meet w my surgen ... Made me book the date and is taking 2 weeks to stay w me for recovery . I'm still working on myself w accepting such a blessing and stop doubting myself . I am so greatful for real self . It is truly helping me push through so much self doubt . I'm soo excited yet super scared .
Before pic
Some before pics . In a week I'll build up the courage to post more detailed pics before the after pics .
I can't believe I'm actually doing this !!!
So Monday Is my last visit w my ps before the big day !! And Tuesday is my pre op testing at the hospital . I have my questions ready cause I want to make sure all goes well and I am left completely confident . I can't believe I am going to post pictures here but reading the journeys of others which are very much like my own have inspired me . I can not wait for my post op comparison !!!
All paid !!
Pre op testing and payment complete !! Now to mentally prepare ..
Three days to go ...
Oh my gosh .. It's almost surreal that this will actually be happening .. I'm practically ready and doing whatever possible to keep busy and my mind preoccupied . I have a rush of emotions going through me . I am scheduled for Tuesday March 17 @ 6 am but sx will prob take place around 8ish .. I have all the support I need especially for the fist two weeks but just the thought I cant hold my 7 month baby is making me a bit emotional . I haven't even told my 12 year old . But they way I see it it is so easy to get lost when raising a family . When will it ever be the right time ? I am so lucky to have the support of my partner who balances me and talks me through my concerns and doubts. Well I will soon post my pre op pics .
Happy healing to those already post and best wishes to those soon to join xoxox

Cry baby
So today it's 8 days post op and I am miserable . I can't complain to much about pain or anything really . I'm just feeling so down .. Depressed. Question my surgery , my progress my emotions . I'm so moody :/ I feel like anything sets me off . Visited my ps today and when schedule the next appt just started crying . As I write this o tear up . Wth is wrong w me ?!!! I knowing I'm just sensitive ... Tomorrow will be a better day ..
3 weeks post ...
So I see a light .. Not the end of the tunnel but the light .. I have refrained from posting .. Because I believe that if i don't have anything nice to say then i won't say anything at all ... Well until I am confident and secure w my feelings and thoughts .. Ok enough of that now my update .. Today is 3 weeks exactly and I am feeling much better then post week 1 and even better than post week 2 .. See what in getting at?? I have been on a roller coaster of emotions . Is what I see in the mirror what it actually is . You see once we decided to go on this journey a lot of times regardless of our mental state we can not prepared for what's to come. We have expectations which sometimes are unrealistic and with all the research and prepping we can't help but compare what we believe what our body needs to look like rather than our reality . What we see and research are our doctors 3 to 6 to even a year out and at 3 days post we want to be there already . I feel somewhat liberated once I allowed myself to be rational and moved past comparing myself and picking at myself . It only took 3 weeks lol I'm learning to be patient and realize I still had a ways to go . real self was such a help pre op as it helped me build confidence in preparation but at this point I am following some amazing woman as I feel I can relate to their journey in order to continue w my healing of not just body but also my mind and soul . Ok after all that ranting lmao I love my cg . My swelling is down but still a ways to go . My prep weight was 162 and post op went up to 169 and today I am 157. I know I shouldn't be weighing myself but oh well the curiosity won over . I'm not so hung up on weight as I clearly see the difference in inches and that's what I love when I get dressed . I've always carried my weight in my boobs and tummy and now just the boobs lol . I am super curvy and I love it . My love says I'm a total package ???? I feel very good also . Besides normal stiffness and some discomfort I really can't complain . My scar is super low am I know once it completly heals will be nonexistent . My doctor took off the tape that was over it I believe post op week one and said not to put anything on it and we will talk scar treatment at week 4 . I'm totally fine w that and trust he knows what his doing . A stitch came loose on the bb and cause it to hbe a foul smell and look freaky I called the doc at like 10 that evening and he told me what to do and it is healing that was on a Friday and Monday was in his office . He said nothing to worry about and just remove the desolvable one that were left cause said that irritates it at time . No infection or pain . Other than that I feeling and doing just fine patiently waiting and seeing my progress week after week . My cg is great and my ps included an abdominal foam board which help w swelling ,skin irritation from cg and recovery . Just an fyi I've read some ladies using a towel then cg and then binder there a website that had awesome garments for after sx . Spanks is the worst As it is not a cg for the purpose and support we need after sx . I can't think of anything else.. Oh i am sales tomad mu post op and i promise i will once im comfortable enough to do so . Again patience lol thank you to whomever takes the time to read my rantings and happy healing to those in recovery and to those who have yet to cross over .
Forgot to mention ...
I drove at 3 weeks and it felt great :) ...Also forgot to mention the site for cg. It's interlink room.com there is a tab for post surgery .. If you search tummy you'll het options also look under abdominal board . I like the foam one makes the cg much more comfortable and helps with the muscles tightening faster . Hope this helps.
Post up 2 weeks
These are picks from post op week 2 or 2.5 . Notice the swelling more on the right side . Also the back is still super swollen from lipo . Lipo is no joke . Today I am 28 day post op and still have a long ways to go .
40 days out ...
Soo I never in my wildest that my recovery would take so long. I am feeling better w each passing day but non the less it's been rough . I don't know if it's because I am so hard on myself or it just is . I've completly refrained from coming on here to read because it puts me in a bad place . Perhaps because I am comparing and then depressing myself . Despite all this I am hopeful and I do see an improvement . A great improvement. I have committed to being positive and patient w myself and with my body and look forward to every improvement week after week . I will be sharing pictures soon .
95 days post op
Wow what a journey .. I am still soar and achy in some places and def swollen but overall feeling 95 percent better. Mentally o have reservations w how I look. some things to me just don't look right . This operation isn't a quick fix . Emotionally it take its toll . I wear compression garment 23.5 hours a day w abdominal board . I have been getting massages regularly . About 3 a week . I will start the gym front his week forward . I've read a lot of women going right to the gym as early at 3 to 6 weeks . Well I'm not one of them . My heeling has been slow and I hope there is improvement still to come . I have a healthy diet and do plenty of excercises around the house especially w a 10 mo old lol . I see my doctor on Monday and hope to get down concerns addressed and some peace of mind . I also look forward to the gym . I am currently at 150 pounds and hope to lose another 10 pounds max. I want to tone up rather then lose too much . I'm going to be brave and post current picture .hope everyone is healing well .
A few more
Comparison @3mo
Dressed 3 mo 1 week
So today was my 3 mo appt w my surgeon . Let me start off w saying that I feel so blessed to have the love and support I have gotten going into this . I also feel so blessed to not have had any terrible complications this far . Now w that said I get very frustrated that when you try to express your concerns or disappointment about what your expectations are and what reality is that you get shut down and in turn reminded over and over how much "fat" was lipoed and basically this is as good as it gets . And shown the before pics over and over as if I have no recollection of what was before going into this. I am very much aware . If it weren't for the before I wouldnt need to have this done . I feel like the art of sympathy or empathy is long gone . I feel like I have seen results in people in much worst shape before hand look much better . I didnt want in any way to complain but it's just so frustrating not to hear empathy or be offered some sort of revision as I have seen other surgeons offer to better their work and please the patient is so frustrating .. And trust me I in no way want to be back in the or but I am not happy and to know I spent this much money and feel I can not wear a two piece confidently or see myself better makes me crazy . Of course I see the improvement it's obvious but there are important details I believe my surgeon should be more sympathetic too and recognize this is not his best work .. Just some venting to help me cope . I hope that the next few months and time help . I guess i just can't see past the disappointment ... I will work on that ..
Trying to love me..
3 months 14 days .. Trying to love Myslef one day at a time ..
Under construction 4mo 19 days
What a roller coaster ...
9 days post ..revision
Well I was not going to leave a review but the depression this whole process has left me in is rediciulous . Rather than feeling good about my body I feel ashamed and embarrassed . I went in for a revision hoping for results I can live w . I was made to believe my scar was revised and that my belly button was actually revised . It's all worst ! I'm left w rolls ! And deformed belly button . I'm so disgusted I can't even look at myself honestly .
I am finally 10 months from my original procedure and 8 days out from my revision surgery . I am so glad I was blessed to have a PS like Dr Alkon . He is truely one of a kind . Stuck by me every step of the way and through my emotional roller coaster . Great communication and the fact he listened to me and made sure my satisfaction and happiness was a priority is priceless . ***real update!*** after a revision I was actually left looking horrible ! I'm so embarrassed w the horrible belly button and disgusting scar! And after the fact even reminders of follow up wasn't important for the doctor whom I thought actually cared ! 10k and I'm so ashamed and embarrassed w how I look . I'm just disgusted !

The Nemenoff Report Bonds Lower, S&P's higher, Silver Lower
Financials: Sept. Bonds are currently 31 lower at 147'27 and the 10 Yr. Notes 9 lower at 133'11. This morning: Retail sales were up a better than expected 0.8% and PPI was up 0.3%. Euro-zone GDP was slightly better than expected at -0.2% showing improvement in Germany, France and the Netherlands and negative growth in other countries. Near term support remains in the 147'20 level but resistance has been lowered to 149'28. Treat as a trading market between support and resistance.
Grains: Dec. Corn is currently 5'6 higher at 798'0, Nov. Beans 10'6 higher at 1611'4 and Dec. Wheat 6'4 higher at 88'2. On Friday Dec. Corn made a technical "Key Reversal" ( a new contract high and a close below the previous day's low). That being said, support remains in the 785'0 area. Resistance is now the 830'0 area. I am now willing to once again look at selling strangles in the Corn now that they may have put in a top. I am selling the combination of the Dec. Corn 900'0 call and the Dec. Corn 680'0 put and collecting about 32'0. If by mid November Dec. Corn is above 650'0 and below 930'0 this trade should be profitable. Keep in mind that selling strangles has limited profit potential and unlimited risk.
Cattle: Oct. LC are currently50 higher at 126.90 and Oct. FC 50 higher at 144.00. As expected FC prices have gained on LC as feed grain prices have declined from historic high levels. Technically Oct. LC should run into resistance above the 127.00 area. Oct. FC have traded above their 144.00 resistance levels and show the possibility of an upside breakout if they can settle above 145.00. If you have been trading FC from the long side use a close protective stop or take profits until this market shows an upside breakout.
Silver: Sept. Silver is currently 10 cents lower at 27.67 and Dec. Gold 13.00 dollars lower at 1600.00. We remain lightly long Silver. Over the last couple of seesions Dec. Gold have not been able to hold the 1625.00 resistance level and remains in a trading range of 1585.00 to 1625.00.
S&P's: Sept. S&P's are currently 4.50 higher at 1406.50. Better than expected econmic data (see Financials comment) have pushed this market through the 1404.00 resistance level with a high of 1409.50. Consistant closes above the 1396.00 level could indicate higher prices. That being said, I remain somewhat neutral and will consider a close below the 1395.00 level a minor sell signal.
Currencies: As of this writing the Sept. Euro is currently 15 higher at 1.2353, the Swiss 7 higher at 1.0281, the Yen 88 lower at 1.2677 and the Pound 6 lower at 1.5680. Once again I am looking for a selling opportunity in the Euro if the market trades above 1.2475.

Barclays is set to be dragged into a fresh banking scandal this morning as the City watchdog prepares to reveal the results of an inquiry into mis-selling of loans to small businesses.
With the bank already reeling from the impact of £290m in fines over its attempts to fix Libor interest rates, the Financial Services Authority's findings could not come at a worse time for the business and its increasingly embattled chief executive, Bob Diamond.
The inquiry covers sales of interest rate swaps to small business customers taking out loans.
Meant to protect against sudden sharp moves in interest rates, there has been concern that many such customers either did not know what they were signing up for or were forced into taking them out.
Some of those businesses have since gone to the wall because they have effectively been locked into cripplingly high rates despite Bank of England base rates falling to near zero as a result of the financial crisis and subsequent recession.
Derivatives such as rate swaps can carry sharp penalties that can badly hit those who hold them when rates move in the opposite direction to what is being protected against. Many small businesses took them out to protect against rate rises and so were caught short when rates fell.
It is understood that the FSA is likely to conclude that there was indeed mis-selling and banks may now have to write to small business customers offering reviews.
Those found to have been mis-sold very complex products may find themselves dealt with more quickly with compensation likely to be paid.
Barclays is by no means the only bank involved, with others, including Royal Bank of Scotland, also set to face criticism.
The FSA's statement – which was being finalised in consultation with banks yesterday – could not come at a worse time for Barclays and the wider banking industry.
The treatment of small businesses has been a particularly sore point since the financial crisis, with critics arguing that banks have failed to lend, starving customers of credit with which to fuel the recovery.
Earlier this month the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) launched a broadside at banks through its quarterly Voice of Small Business Index, which found that four in 10 small firms applying for credit were being turned away.
This led to the 10th consecutive quarter of job cutbacks, although the British Bankers' Association denied the claim and said credit was being made available.
Nonetheless, the status of small businesses as a political hot potato combined with the interest rate scandal promise to make today another bruising one for the industry.
Yesterday Barclays was almost bereft of support with shareholders united with unions and politicians from both sides of the House of Commons, a situation sure to be repeated today.
But some analysts did offer some consolation, arguing that Barclays' shares were being oversold. The broker Shore Capital also said the bank's executives had done the "right thing" in giving up their 2012 annual bonuses.
"We believe that this is a politically sensible move following the furore surrounding directors' pay at the recent AGM. However, it appears that there is considerable media pressure for Bob Diamond to step down, although it is not clear to us whether this is an opinion that is shared by investors or whether it is a move that would create value," the broker said.

One day, in eighth grade PE class, I had some left-over cookies in a bag and I gave them to my PE teacher. She told me I didn't have to bother dressing out that day. Now, the women in my family loathe PE. I love watching sports and supporting athletes, but I despise PE. When you have no athletic ability and the teacher makes the losing team run laps with no extra time to get dressed, you come to dislike the class. Needless to say, that teacher got a lot more cookies over the course of that school year and I got a few extra "no-dress" days, I'll admit.
That being said, the following recipe is not Mama's. Really, after all that build-up! I'm just not ready to release it and honestly, I can't duplicate her results with it. She swore by Winn-Dixie's Superbrand margarine. I know purists say butter, and I am normally in the purist camp, but there is something about margarine and shortening that gives cookies just the right texture and crumb. I usually like a combination of half margarine (I like Imperial)/shortening (always Crisco) and half butter. Butter for the taste, the other for the texture, just like my pie crust. I really think the hand-written copy of the recipe I found in her cookbook has something missing.
No, this is a more standard chocolate chip recipe, but it's the BEST I've ever tasted. I beat the sugar and fats in my mixer, but then I stir in the rest by hand. It makes a difference, I think. The dough freezes beautifully, as do the baked cookies. There is no reason to buy frozen dough!
So here's The-Not-THE-Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Pillsbury's The Complete Book of Baking:
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or sunflower seed kernels
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars, and shortening; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in chips and nuts. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 min. or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.* Cool on baking racks.
*This is an IMPORTANT step. Cookies continue cooking on the sheet for that minute. That's why you remove the cookies from the oven just right before they are the right color.
Yield: 4 doz. cookies

As the saying goes, "the rich just keep getting richer." That was apparent when the news came out that the Chelsea Blues of Barclays Premiere League had signed one a Brazil's brightest young soccer stars, one talented 19-year-old player named Robert Kenedy. For months now, Kenedy had been on the radar for many of the Premier League's best teams. In fact, Chelsea's coaches and front office personnel had been had been scouting Kenedy for months after some of his amazing performances in 2014 caught the eyes of the team's scouts.
Kenedy began his international career as a striker with Brazil's 17 and under national team where he scored six goals in 13 appearances. More importantly, he displayed the kind of raw talent that leaves soccer coaches frothing at the mouth. With all the right attributes including speed, strength and finesse in his arsenal, Chelsea coaches will certainly take their time cultivating this young raw talent who figures to become a real force in both the Premier League and for the Brazilian national team for years to come.
Kenedy started the 2015 soccer season as a striker for Brazil's 20 and under national team where he scored one goal in seven appearances before an appendicitis sent him to the sidelines in May. Over the last three years, he has also played as a starter for the Fluminense Football Club, which is part of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A league out of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Overall, he has made 42 appearance with that club, scoring a total of five goals before earning a promotion to the next level.
Kenedy was originally allowed the opportunity to play on trial for Chelsea in a pre-season exhibition match after recovering from his medical issues and prior to his signing of a contract. Team officials from Chelsea saw what they needed to see before getting permission to buy Kenedy's contract from Fluminense ahead of the start of the 2015-16 Barclays soccer season. Chelsey, one of elite soccer organization;s in the world, is coming into the new season as the Premiere League's defending champion after securing the title with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace Football Club in last season's championship match.
Kenedy, who signed for £6.3 million, will be looking for playing time coming off of the bench. This will be unfamiliar territory for a young man who has spent most of his soccer career playing on the front line. However, Chelsea manager José Mourinho has never been one to throw his young players into the fire ahead of earning the opportunity.
Chelsea has a long history of recruiting players out of Brazil and it makes sense that Mourinho will give the young Kenedy time to acclimate to European style soccer before increasing the player's time on the field. Given his level of talent, it shouldn't take the young man much time at all to get his feet under him. By the end of the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him make a major contribution as his new team continues its march towards back to back titles.
As the new soccer season gets underway, online sports books will be offering the opportunity for plenty of free bets and bonus bets. If you have never wagered on Premiere League soccer, these free bets and bonus bets will give you a great opportunity to learn the ropes on how to wager on the world's most popular sport.

Beyonce lets others do talking on lip-synch drama
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Beyonce's lips remained sealed on Wednesday over her headline-making rendition of the US national anthem at President Barack Obama's inauguration, leaving others to do the talking over whether she lip-synched to a pre-recorded track.
Celebrity magazine Us Weekly quoted a source saying the Grammy-winning artist was disappointed by the controversy she stirred by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Monday's solemn ceremony using a backing track – and drew a comparison to late Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. As some of America's singing stars offered sympathy and understanding, an inaugural official, who declined to be identified, told CNN that Beyonce "did not sing live."
"Because she didn't have time to rehearse with the US Marine Band, she decided to use her recording with the Marine Band," the official told CNN on Wednesday.
The US Marine band said in a statement on Tuesday that no one in the band "is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded."
Us Weekly meanwhile quoted a different, also unidentified source, as saying "She did sing, but used a track."
"She didn't think there was anything wrong with it," the source told the celebrity magazine's website on Wednesday.
"Pavarotti has done it! It was freezing out, and if she messed up just one note, that would have been the story … Everybody uses these tracks, and the music director advised it," the Us Weekly source added.
Pavarotti lip-synched his last per formance, at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, because of the bitter weather and his failing health, according to orchestra conductor Leone Magiera in a 2008 book. The Italian tenor died in 2007 of pancreatic cancer at age 71.
Beyonce's publicist has declined to comment on the furore, but Aretha Franklin and Jennifer Lopez chimed in with their support.
"When I heard the news … that she was pre-recorded I really laughed," Franklin, 70, who sang live at Obama's first inauguration in 2009, told ABC News.
"I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather … she did a beautiful job with the pre-record … next time I'll probably do the same." Lopez told Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" on Tuesday that many performers resort to using pre-recorded tracks.
"You know, sometimes it happens," Lopez said. "When you're in certain stadiums and in certain venues, they do pre-record things because you're going to have that terrible slapback."
Beyonce, 31, was giving her first major public performance since giving birth to a baby in January 2012. On Sunday, she had posted on Instagram photo of herself in a recording studio holding the sheet music for "The Star-Spangled Banner."
She is due to take the spotlight again next month by performing, live, at the February 3 Super Bowl halftime show.
