Remembering Woodstock
12 comments:
For the record, I am old enough to remember Woodstock and I do. Flower power, peace and free love! Those were the days. I wonder what ever happened to my tie-dyed tee shirts?ReplyDelete
Michael, I'm definitely going to have to check out "Goodbye Emily" and I absolutely love the psychedelic cover!
For the record (thank you, Patricia Gligor), I too can remember Woodstock, but I was in Japan when the event took place. I have a tie-dyed tee from the town of Woodstock, which I wear at appropriate events. I've already pre-ordered "Goodbye Emily." Can't wait to read it.ReplyDelete
WOW..this piece set me to wondering where my flowered hip-hugger bell-bottom pants are! I know I saved them! The Sixites was the best decade ever!ReplyDelete
Tie-dyed shirts and hip-hugger bell-bottoms! Goodbye-Emily will bring you back to the music, the rain, the mud of Woodstock and the we can change the world attitude back then. I learned a lot about the event researching the book. One of the most surprising was to learn Richie Haven's song Freedom, was improvised as he sang an old spiritual Motherless Child and looked out over the crowd. The word freedom popped into his mind.ReplyDelete
I didn't attend because my mother won't let me. But I visited the Woodstock site a couple of years ago. I swear I could hear Country Joe and the Fish echoing across the fields. Congratulations on your book, Michael.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Kathleen. Ah, the good old days.Delete
I had so much fun in the sixties, but even if I found my bell bottoms with their embroidery on the leg, I couldn't begin to get into them. Darn!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your book, Michael!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the fun trip down Memory Lane. You betcha I'm old enough to remember Woodstock and the whole hippie movement. I wasn't quite old enough to attend. But in 2007, on my way to Albany for a book conference, I finally saw where Woodstock was. Seeing Woodstock ranks up there with seeing the Grand Canyon and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Back in the Woodstock days, I lived in South Florida. In my head, hippies are linked to NASA's Man to the Moon program. Every time NASA launched an Apollo mission from Cape Canaveral, many of us climbed on the roofs of our houses and watched the Saturn V contrail and first-stage separation.
Hippies in my area regularly attended concerts at a local amusement park called "Pirates World." And many hippies joined the Establishment they'd previously eschewed by moving to Key West, opening a sandal or t-shirt shop, and embracing Jimmy Buffet's Conch Republic.
I was a young divorced mother raising a child by myself. No time for things like Woodstock, but I sure remember the music -- and I did wear bell bottoms. My, how things have changed.ReplyDelete
Boot cut jeans are now in, just another version of the bell bottom unless you're a cowboy. And there were flared bottoms too. I guess they went out of fashion several years ago after being "in" for several months.ReplyDelete
I could only afford one pair of bell bottoms which I embroidered to cover the holes. Very in.
I didn't go to Woodstock, being a traditional stay-at-home mom, but I've always loved the music of that era and it appears in my essays and memoirs and fiction. I have and wear T-shirts printed WOODSTOCK that I bought in the town of Woodstock, which I visit every couple of years while up in the Catskill Mountains. It's such an artsy town, and I feel right at home.ReplyDelete

There are. And here are 10 of the most important.
1. Never bang impatiently on a bathroom door. The punishment for that is being eaten by a shark that falls through the roof. Surely it's better to hold it?
2. If sharks are flying through the air at your plane, try to aim so that those creatures hit the wings rather than the engines or the windshield. Engines explode, and windshields get covered by shark guts. When sharks hit the wings, on the other hand, they just bounce off.
3. Trust Matt Lauer and Al Roker — they can make anything sound serious. Even a sharknado.
4. Your average sharknado shark remains aloft for a minimum of 18 hours, especially after swallowing an arm. Plan accordingly.
5. Never underestimate the graphics available to The Weather Channel when it is necessary to illustrate the dangers of a storm.
6. When in doubt, go to a pizza place.
7. New Yorkers are more likely to have pitchforks available than either guns or chainsaws. It's best not to ask why these same New Yorkers have pitchforks.
8. 2 x 2 = 5 when sharknadoes are involved.
9. Never try to hook-up with your old high-school boyfriend, even if he is divorced and shows no actual emotion for his ex-wife. Not only will he refuse you, but he will barely notice when you give up your life in an act of heroism, only to be electrocuted and then bitten in half by a flying shark.
10. Fuchsia is a bad choice when it comes to choosing a lipstick.

Stranded (Stranded #1) by Jeff Probst, Chris Tebbetts
A family vacation becomes a test of survival!
It was supposed to be a vacation—and a chance to get to know each other better. But when a massive storm sets in without warning, four kids are shipwrecked alone on a rocky jungle island in the middle of the South Pacific. No adults. No instructions. Nobody to rely on but themselves. Can they make it home alive?
A week ago, the biggest challenge Vanessa, Buzz, Carter, and Jane had was learning to live as a new blended family. Now the four siblings must find a way to work together if they're going to make it off the island. But first they've got to learn to survive one another
The book broken up into very short chapters and in turn each chapter into sections. Stranded was a very quick read and full of smart children stuck in a very desperate situation.
The four children are stranded, having lost their two adult guides, but luckily still have the boat...and it's stock of food. They must learn how to deal with this emotional situation as well as fight for survival. Including the most important thing, finding water.
The reader gets a good look of each character, getting to know each and their strongest abilities. They work very well together and very little, if any drama.
This is a great Summer read for Middle Grade readers, a good start to the series. It's light and entertaining.

The FIX Esperanto
Story Utilities
I realized early on that computers connected to networks were going to help people trade better. If the Internet was destined to revolutionize trading, I mused, it couldn't go it alone. There had to be a way for details of a trade to be communicated over the Net. You couldn't just shoot data over a nebulous network and expect it to reach the correct destination.
The Internet needed a roadmap, of sorts.
In 1993, I came across a fledgling protocol called FIX - shorthand for the Financial Information Exchange. With FIX, buy- and sell-side institutions could easily reach the other side of the trade.
They could literally create wealth simply through effective communication. FIX solved a problem that the Internet, by itself, couldn't.
While FIX made a splash nearly eight years ago, it is making a new one right now by changing the nature of the relationships it helped to create.
Due to its ability to increase the physical number of trade connections and the quality of the message, FIX is now expected to solve problems. In this role, we have seen FIX exceed client expectations.
Straight Talk
FIX lets buyers and sellers speak the same language. That means, in essence, that FIX creates a unified trading culture. Originally, FIX was concerned only with automation.
Now, a FIX connection translates into increased order flow. That translates into an increased need for effective communication, which translates into relationship building.
It becomes easier, and more lucrative, to trade with someone using FIX rather than someone not using FIX. Because of this, for the first time in my career, I feel that fund managers actually understand the value a broker can provide. And global exchanges are catering their products directly to the institutional buyside, which means we have come full circle.
Better Job
Exchanges understand what a portfolio manager needs in order to do the job better, which is great for the buyer because he obtains better prices, matching liquidity to trades, and lower price impact. It is also great for the seller.
The seller can focus on profitable niches, or better quality and informed order flow from the clients. The quality of the relationship between buyer and seller is better than ever.
As FIX has enabled brokers, exchanges, and networks to enjoy a drop in transaction costs, while experiencing gains in processing efficiency, there is still room to add increased value to each transaction (in the form of service and quality of execution, market impact, prices and reports). And brokers are actualizing gains in efficiency by specializing in liquidity, by quality of research, or by the ability to get the best prices on certain industry groups.
Through FIX, they market their inventory in the form of prices and quantities to their institutional clients electronically, keeping in touch with hundreds of clients in real time, on a global basis, while still retaining a high level of service. For example, if a client loves pharmaceutical stocks, that broker can target the market better.
I expect that brokers who provide the right kind of value, and who fully exploit the inherent value of a FIX connection, will continue to excel. They will create even more room for niches like execution services. New opportunities will continue to be unmasked once inefficiencies between buyer and seller are addressed.
Food For Thought
The task of managing relationships is not a trivial one. Just over the last six months, I have seen how important a single FIX relationship is between a buyer and a seller.
The cold, hard fact is that both sides of the transaction - the order flow and indication of interest sides - are coming through hundreds of new connections. Quality trades are being sent to hundreds of clients and myriad points of liquidity (and no longer just a handful).
Managing these relationships requires a lot of software built into order management systems. Capabilities must be customized for every broker or client.
Managing hundreds of clients is just as hard as keeping in touch with hundreds of friends through e-mail. If the end result is a wealth of better, stronger relationships, the value of that service is immeasurable.

Shade Embarrassed
After 3 months I have got as far as addresses. So you can now see why I love this lamp digi from Dr Digi. And you will too at 50p!
I've already used one of the cards. And you'd think it would be easier for me to get the Filofax prepared in advance. Nope. Too much like being organised! Plus I can then spend the time I would have lost in actually doing some neat writing on thinking up witty captions.
I printed directly onto the card stock and thought that they would be equally spaced - not quite so as you can see! Coloured with Promarkers plus added a dotted line around the edge (Nestie used as a template for the fancy bottom) with a gel pen, a button from my stash plus some embroidery thread to finish it off.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
365 Day Cards: Day 66 - White Space
Whoopsie Daisy: Buttons or Bows
Eclectic Ellapu: Birthday's
Kenny K: Happy Birthday
Image: Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment: Computer generated (thought of by me)
Everything else: My stash

Four Words about Casting a Vision From the Later Prophets
Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk
Synopsis: I am using two metaphors to describe what the church needs to do to be the living organism God intends for it to be. The term "casting" can mean a lot of different things. I am using it as the process of filling the "mold" God has created for the church. The term "mold" represents church structure. "Vision" is the word we use to describe what God wants us to look like. Casting a Vision is hard work.
Let's talk about the mold. Three elements of church structure are leadership, calendar and budget.
The Latter Prophets were trying to get Israel and/or Judah to realize some of the same sort of things. They wanted them to change in order to avert judgment or to prepare for the new day that was coming. The good news is that we are invited to be a part of what God is doing.
Scripture Text (NLT): Micah 3:1-4, 8-12; Nahum 1:15, 2:1-2; Zephaniah 3:9-10; Habakkuk 3:2, 16-19;
Scripture Reading: Habakkuk 3:2
Which two of the Latter Prophets are not quoted in the New Testament?

BSOD and Photoshop CS6
Lately, my pc has been giving me a lot of headache. It seems to spit out BSOD randomly - every couple of weeks. But the biggest problem is that it crashes when I use some graphics oriented program such as Photoshop or Lightroom. (My guess heavy GPU burden).
Can you help me out - i am attahcing the minidump file
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am actually considering swapping my Video card....I recently swamped my SSD as i thought this was the culprit.

Hi odessit40.
Sorry to say that we are somehow clueless here. You have to do two things.
First, post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
Second, fill up your system specs.
See your system specs and fill it up here.
Also, as the stop 0x124 BSODs are mostly hardware oriented, do some hardware tests.
Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.
Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95
Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .

You need to do as Arc suggested and stress test your hardware. That's where the error exists. Most L1 cache errors are caused by excessive leakage, which is normally due to overheating processors.

Compressor Station CS- 2 on right bank of Russia's Ob River processes
associated oil gas from the central gathering station, booster pump stations,
and local processing facilities of the Priobskoye oil field. The compressed
and dried associated oil gas is then transported to the left bank to supply a
gas turbine power plant. Waste gas is transported to the Yuzhno-Balyk Gas
Processing Complex.
The complex design encompassed several connected facilities, requiring
specialists from various disciplines. MicroStation, TriForma, and PlantSpace
facilitated information exchange and allowed team members to work in parallel
to accelerate design while reducing errors. Collaboration among several groups
produced the 3D facility model that will be used throughout the facility's service
life. Design costs for the facility were reduced by 25 to 30 percent.
GUP Bachgiproneftechim
Deisohexanization Block
Ufa, Russia
The challenge of the Deisohexanization Block project was to increase the
octane number of benzine and improve production safety. Difficulties included
synchronizing the work of a large team of specialists in different disciplines,
in different locations, on different networks, and using different plant
design systems.
The Ufa, Russia-based institute used a combination of Bentley products—
AutoPLANT, PlantSpace, and Project Wise—to enable different departments
(process, piping, mechanical, civil) to work in parallel online as well as to
integrate storage and archiving of 2D drawings and 3D models. The 3D models
accelerated design time, eliminated errors and collisions during engineering,
simplified management approvals, and optimized construction.

Strawberry Cream Cupcake Desserts(ROTW)
A couple weeks ago, for the ROTW, I picked these incredibly delicious Strawberry Cream Cupcake Desserts. I found the recipe in a Pampered Chef catalog. You can also get the recipe on their website. Their version is much cuter than mine. I didn't take the time to make the cupcakes. I just doubled the cake part of the recipe and put it in a 9X13 pan. I also used yellow cake mix instead of white. It still tasted wonderful! I loved the pretzel crust!
Check out the recipe here.

By Bidisha Roy
Apart from the typical bio-geographical aspects of the monsoon, several poignant, humane feelings and emotions entwined with the rain are universal in nature. The wife-husband duo from India, Bharatanatyam exponent Indira Kadambi and Carnatic musician T.V. Ramprasadh, brought a taste of such sublimity with their production Varsha Rithu on 24 September at the Pim Off Theatre in Milan. The event was organised by the Accademia Sangam led by Lucrezia Maniscotti.
Vishnu R. (son of Indira and Ramprasadh) opened the evening with a musical introduction on his guitar. He was effortlessly impressive with his explorations of Indian ragas such as Charukesi (around the composition Shoodoorey by Neil Mukherjee), followed by his own composition Moksha which created a frictionless bridge between Western jazz and Indian classical sounds. He wove an ambience that touched the audience and it sustained into a beautiful pacific preparation for what was to follow.
Varsha Rithu was segmented into exploring through three core aspects taken from the ocean of quintessential emotions that are invigorated by the monsoon. The first segment Varsha Aagaman was themed upon the advent of the monsoon. The parched earth and its living beings yearning desperately towards the monsoon sky, thirsty nature pining for drops of life from the pregnant clouds, earthly beings pleading to the Gods to shoot the 'varsha baan' and save their restless souls—such intense sufferings and prayers were painted alive by T.V. Ramprasadh's surreal and heartening voice (composition based on Andal's Tiruppavai) and were taken to an absolutely picturesque visualisation by Indira Kadambi in her abhinaya portraying the peculiarities of the characters, the contexts and the emotions. The invocation was followed by the joyful arrival of the monsoon where one of the many striking ingredients was that the jatis were composed in the syllables of the sound of rain. Beautiful personalisation of the first rain drops touching the body, mind and soul—the joy and mad excitement—was brought to life by Indira as she played with the rain water like an innocent child inside a youthful heroine. The crude and earthly joy was so infectious that it felt as if it had indeed started raining inside the theatre. It was pouring heavily with her artistic mastery in this act. T.V. Ramprasadh's composition and heart piercing vocals around Tandalai mayilgalaada made it all breathtaking. The dancing peacock, the buzzing bees, the deer, birds, the drumming thunders from the clouds, the flourishing flora and fauna—in oneness Mother Nature celebrated the arrival of the monsoon.
The second segment was Rati-Varsha with texts spanning the power and influence of monsoon on love. Monsoon magnifies the pain in lovers who are separated and are longing for union just like the atma or soul longs to be united with the paramatma or truth of its divine. Such highlighted desire of oneness, the severity in the restlessness and the spiritual loneliness were touched upon by Ramprasadh's soulful rendition of Hari awan ki awaz in Miyan ki Malhar. The rain of passion, love and devotion of Meerabai towards her beloved Krishna was paralleled to the earth's everlasting desire to be united with the sky. The beauty and power of Indira's performance in this segment reached a certain kind of oneness which shall remain etched in many minds as an unforgettable piece.
The denouement was about Aatma-Varsha or monsoon and the soul—the universal concept of redemption, where rain symbolises the cleansing and pacification of the soul to reach the ultimate truth and peace. Different living beings with different karmas go through the same cycle of life and seasons (from being born to evolving through different stages of childhood, adulthood and old age to death) to be reunited with the same universal, supreme origin. Powerful composition around Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural was rendered by Ramprasadh's soul stirring singing and the concept was illuminated through Indira Kadambi's mature nritta and abhinaya. Atma-Varsha took the audience a step closer to re-appreciating monsoon as a season to reflect upon self.
A special mention is worth for the unique costumes of Indira Kadambi designed by V.V. Ramani, which enhanced the visual essence of the acts in each of the three segments.
It was a coming together of three individualistic and powerful artists—Indira, Vishnu and Ramprasadh—who drenched the canvas with layers of strongly impassioned colours and feelings of the monsoon. It poured the beauty, artistry and power of Indian classical art and music in Milan.

I Will Miss You
|by Rena' Du Bois
I thought before I first saw you,
I knew what love was.
That, I later found, to be false.
You showed me the meaning of True love.
I loved you with all my heart,
I gave you everything I had to give.
I thought our loved would last a lifetime,
I was the only one, though,
You already knew it wouldn't be forever.
You tried to tell me.
I always chose not to listen.
I only heard what my heart was telling me.
If I could go back in time and change things,
I wouldn't. I always want the memories
of you and I together, the way we were -
Happy for the most part.
I love you still,
And I always will.
But today my life starts over,
Starts over without you.
This will be a tough journey for me,
But I know I will make it.
Life does go on.

I wondered if there would be any (at all) support for the idea of members willingly offering to tutor one other member who is new to Theravada Buddhism. What i mean by tutoring, is to connect more personally, say perhaps through email or even through the PM system on the forum, and to answer questions of that person, and be mindful of thier progression. The reason i suggest only one per tutor is that it could potentially be time consuming and quite an effort. I would also suggest that people should be accepted (by a method i havent thought of yet), to be tutors, and this would prevent the spreading of deliberate bad advice from members who have joined souly for the purpose of trolling.
These are my considered benefits:
- Better group cohesion, people would feel more supported and part of the process
- Guided learning and help from someone further along in the process than oneself
- It would be quite vulnerable to people signing up just to waste time. Sadly there are a great number of people willing to waste vast quantities of thier own time in order to waste parts of someone elses
- It could through a shortage of longer term members create a waiting list and make people feel excluded

At Cosmetica we use the latest technology in liposculpture including Vibrolipo, Lipomatic, Smartlipo and Advanced Smartlipo.
Lipomatic uses a nutational movement on top of the vibration to achieve a very smooth and
uniform fat removal.
Enhancing your appearance with liposuction
Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.
Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the:
Hips and buttocks
Abdomen and waist
Upper arms
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin and neck
Calves and ankles
In some cases, liposuction is performed alone, in other cases it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.
What it won't do:
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite, the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks, or loose saggy skin.
What to expect during your consultation
The success and safety of your liposuction procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You'll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.
Be prepared to discuss:
Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
Previous surgeries
Your surgeon may also:
Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
Take photographs for your medical record
Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
Discuss likely outcomes of liposuction and any risks or potential complications
Preparing for surgery
Prior to surgery, you may be asked to:
Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
Stop smoking well in advance of surgery
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding
Special instructions you receive will cover:
What to do on the day of surgery
The use of anesthesia during your liposuction
Post-operative care and follow-up
Your plastic surgeon will also discuss where your procedure will be performed. Liposuction may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient or ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital.
You'll need help
If your liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
Procedural Steps:What happens during liposuction?
Step 1
– Anesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
Step 2
– The incision
Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions.
First, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion.
Step 3
– See the results
Your improved body contour will be apparent when the swelling and fluid retention commonly experienced following liposuction subside.
With continued practices of healthy diet and fitness, the loss of excess fatty tissue should be permanently maintained. However, substantial weight gain can alter an otherwise permanent result.
Important facts about the safety and risks of liposuction
The decision to have liposuction is extremely personal and you'll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.
Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications.
Possible risks of liposuction include:
Uneven contours
Rippling or loose skin
Skin or nerve damage
Irregular pigmentation
Fat clots
Blood clots
Excessive fluid loss or fluid accumulation
Unfavorable scarring
Thermal burn or heat injury from ultrasound with the ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technique
Anesthesia risks
Bleeding (hematoma)
Change in skin sensation
Skin discoloration or swelling
Pain, which may persist
Damage to deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels, muscles, lungs, and abdominal organs
Poor wound healing
Persistent swelling in the legs
Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications
Possibility of revisional surgery
Is it right for me?
If you are bothered by excess fat deposits - located anywhere on your body - that don't respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.
Ideal candidates for liposuction are:
Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring
Be sure to ask questions:
It's very important to ask your plastic surgeon questions about your liposuction procedure. It's natural to feel some anxiety, whether it's excitement for your anticipated new look or a bit of preoperative stress. Don't be shy about discussing these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
Be careful
Following your physician's instructions is key to the success of your surgery. It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself.
My recovery
Once your procedure is completed, a compression garment or elastic bandages may cover treatment areas. These help to control swelling and compress the skin to your new body contours.
In addition, small temporary drains may be placed in existing incisions beneath the skin to remove any excess blood or fluid.
You will be given specific instructions that may include:
How to care for the surgical site(s), medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential for infection, specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health, and when to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
A special note:
Secondary procedures may sometimes be recommended to reduce excess skin. Special considerations are needed when large amounts - usually more than 5 liters of fat - are suctioned.
Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period.
Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete?
What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery?
Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery?
Are stitches removed? When?
When can I resume normal activity and exercise?
When do I return for follow-up care?
When you go home
If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heart beats, seek medical attention immediately. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment.
The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary.
The results will be long-lasting
It may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate. As it does, your new contours and enhanced self-image should continue to develop.
The fulfillment you feel from the initial results of liposuction should continue as long as you control your weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
A significant weight gain can reverse your results. Following liposuction, your slimmer and better-proportioned body should more accurately reflect the healthy and active life you lead.
How much will liposuction cost?
Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. Prices for liposuction can vary widely. A surgeon's cost for liposuction may vary based on his or her experience and qualifications, and the type of procedure used.
Cost may include:
Surgeon's fee
Hospital or surgical facility costs
Anesthesia fees
Prescriptions for medication
Post-surgery garments
Medical tests
Your satisfaction involves more than a fee.
When choosing a plastic surgeon for liposuction, remember that the surgeon's qualifications and experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
Most health insurances do not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications.

Anna Cropper plays Rachel in the DEAD OF NIGHT episode THE EXORCISM. Cropper also appeared in the 1975 West End stage version of the story, after Mary Ure died from an alcohol and barbiturate overdose following a disastrous opening night.
DEAD OF NIGHT was a series of self-contained supernatural stories broadcast on BBC2 in 1972. Taking its name from the Ealing portmanteau film of 1945, this incarnation ran for seven fifty-minute episodes, and only three - THE EXORCISM, RETURN FLIGHT and A WOMAN SOBBING - are known to survive in the BBC archives. RETURN FLIGHT - shown on the 12th of November - is a surprisingly banal and predictable aviation-based story from the pen of Robert Holmes; A WOMAN SOBBING - shown on 17th December - is a solid yarn which greatly benefits from the wide-eyed performance of Anna Massey as a bored housewife and mother who hears a female voice crying from the attic space. The two programmes under consideration here have a fluid association with the series: THE EXORCISM was conceived as a stand-alone work but shown as the DEAD OF NIGHT opener, and THE STONE TAPE was included in the same production block for "internal" reasons, but was broadcast as a singular play on Christmas Day.
THE EXORCISM begins with Edmund (Edward Petherbridge) and his wife Rachel (Anna Cropper) showing Dan (Clive Swift) around their recently renovated cottage. As Dan's partner Margaret (Sylvia Kay) helps prepare Christmas dinner, Rachel plays a clavichord, but realises that she has no idea what the tune is. There is a power cut, and the telephone is also suddenly inoperable. After digesting their meal, all four suffer shooting pain; Dan finds that the door won't open, the windows can't be unlocked, and the outside has been plunged into total blackness. Rachel falls into a trance, and relates the experiences of a woman whose husband was hanged when trying to obtain food for her and their two starving children, while the squire and his family indulged in sumptuous meals. We learn that the wife locked herself and the children in their house and waited to die from starvation, hoping that the house would recall the injustice of their deaths.
After appearing uncredited as a six-year-old child in Hammer's film version of THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT, Jane Asher is reunited with the work of Nigel Kneale in THE STONE TAPE.
Written and directed by Don Taylor, THE EXORCISM is the standout surviving episode of DEAD OF NIGHT, and different in tone to the famous run of ghost stories made by Lawrence Gordon Clark for the BBC in the 70s. Instead of the seeping vistas of M.R. James and Charles Dickens, THE EXORCISM is reminiscent of Luis Buñuel's absurdist 1967 comedy THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL. A socio-political spook story, the programme is highlighted by some choice but resonant dialogue; after Dan surmises that the couples "should concentrate on how to be socialists and rich", he later tells Margaret not to be afraid as they have been privileged. The coda, where a newscaster reports that the four friends have been found dead apparently from starvation, provides a chilling conclusion to a real time, claustrophobic play which has been enhanced by a sparse but solid cast: Swift is particularly suited to his role, and Cropper's performance in her possessed state is alarmingly believable.
THE STONE TAPE has Peter Brock (Michael Bryant), head of Ryan Electrics research, working on a new recording medium. Scientists move into Taskerlands, an old Victorian mansion, that has been renovated to act as their facility. Foreman Roy Collinson (Iain Cuthbertson) says that the refurbishment of one of the rooms remains uncompleted, as builders refuse to work on the grounds that it is haunted. The researchers explore the area and hear the sounds of a woman followed by a scream. Computer programmer Jill Greeley (Jane Asher) - who is susceptible to the paranormal - sees an image of a woman running up the steps in the room and falling, apparently to her death. Inquiring with the local villagers, they learn that a young maid died there, and Brock realises that somehow the stone has preserved an image. Becoming more desperate under mounting pressure to deliver results, Brock wipes the image. Jill realises that the maid was masking a much older recording, and is confronted by a malevolent presence. Transported to a proto-Stonehenge, she falls to her death, with the elder force claiming a replacement for the ghost girl.
The BFI's STONE TAPE DVD of 2001 includes an audio commentary by Nigel Kneale moderated by critic Kim Newman. Containing an array of interesting trivia and asides, Newman states that this programme - however dated in equipment and fashion - remains seminal because it portrays a technological development we are still living through.
Written by Nigel Kneale and directed by Peter Sasdy, THE STONE TAPE is a landmark slice of supernatural television. A central theme in Kneale's stories are conflicts that stem from some primal yearning, effecting the past, present, or future. In fact, THE STONE TAPE can be considered the final part in a trilogy of Kneale tales - together with QUATERMASS AND THE PIT and his lost masterpiece THE ROAD - that refine and counteract the notion of haunting by applying scientific evaluation. It was also one of the first stories to promulgate the hypothesis of residual haunting, that ghosts may be explained as recordings of past events made by the physical environment. Amazingly, this science babble has come to be known as the Stone Tape Theory by parapsychological researchers, and in the 2004 BBC7 Radio Serial Ghost Zone, a character refers explicitly to the theory as an explanation for the way an invading alien intelligence is "replaying" scenes from the past. For what is ostensibly a ghost story, THE STONE TAPE explores the living; how humans interact in such a situation - particularly in relation to business and money - and, if indeed, a human presence is required to amplify the process. This is effectively bought to the screen by an excellent ensemble cast, whose intense performances often border on the melodramatic.

Loopholes. Illuminated illustration on an Arabic Book Page
Loopholes. Illuminated illustration on an Arabic Book Page
This art is known as Islamic illumination (Tezhip), where you apply gold to decorative patterns in books and manuscripts. It is a traditional method, but this is my contemporary take on it.
🎨 I painted this Persian inspired floral pattern with real gold (23.5 ct) and high quality gouache colours on a page from an Arabic book. The painting and the shading follows the traditional methods of the art of Islamic illumination. The page has been tea stained and hand treated.
📖 The page comes from a book called: "What Happened to the Saudis?" By: Ghassan Hamid Omar
The book is a collection of short articles that discusses the Saudi society and the social issues it suffers from.
For more information about the book: https://goo.gl/ZTSyA6
📄 This particular page "Loopholes" talks about employees that use the loopholes in the system for their own benefit rather than the customers they are supposed to be helping. The Arabic calligraphy on this page is a classic font for printed books. This painting is part of the Saudi Pages series that come from the same book to create an interesting narrative.
🖼 Size: 21.5cm* 14cm ( 8.46 in * 5.5 in). It does not come framed. Box frame is recommended or any frame that would work with your house or office.
📍This painting was exhibited in Transition, a collaborative art show for emerging Middle Eastern Artists in London, UK.

Surprise! Crepes
And learn, I have. Crepes are so much more versatile than blintzes. (Not that there is anything wrong with blintzes! I still love them!) There is almost nothing more decadent than a warm crepe folded around gooey Nutella... :)
For this month's Surprise I was unsure what to do with sourdough crepes. Of course blintzes were on my mind, but with a dairy allergic kiddo, that wasn't in the cards. I just wasn't sure if sourdough would lend itself better to sweet or salty, especially when the recipe called for Eve to be the biggest ingredient - barely diluted, well soured starter...
The batter was very thin. I know it is supposed to be, but I was worried it was too thin, not having added any flour other than what Eve had going for her.
Success! Big Girl, who was asking what the "strange" smell of the starter was, told me these were the best crepes she had ever eaten. (Mind you, at 4, she has not exactly sampled a large variety of crepes, but it was still cute...!) The sweetness really cut the sourness, and it worked really well together. I love being Surprised by what my starter can make!!
Check out how the other crepes turned out!!

When I was your daughter's ago, crêpes were one of my favorite things. Yours look wonderful - that first crêpe is always a disaster though! LOL. Now I definitely have to try making blintzes...ReplyDelete
I have never tried making blintzes...think I'll give them a try~ Your crepes look delicious~Lynn @ Turnips 2 TangerinesReplyDelete
Look great! Isn't it nice when something special can be tasty and relatively easy!ReplyDelete
Yum...apples and cinnamon sound delicious! I guess I should try blintzes next :)ReplyDelete
Great job! Your crepes turned out really well! I was nervous about not adding any flour other than what was in the starter, too, but they turned out so good! Mine didn't have a very sour taste, but my starter has been kind of neglected lately, so yours is probably stronger than mine! Good choice of filling, too!ReplyDelete
Good that your daughter is willing to try new things :-) Nice job!ReplyDelete
Hey, 4 year olds have picky palettes, so for her to like it is a big complement! I love the apple-cinnamon preserves. Yum!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 21, 2013 at 6:12 AM
I love the idea of filling the crepes with apple cinnamon preserves! I have found that adding a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the batter cut down the sour taste and make for a more kid friendly sourdough crepeReplyDelete

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT -- As most of you know by now, for the first time in three years a team from Pennsylvania is in the Little League World Series. The team from Center City, Philadelphia is representing the Mid-Atlantic Region, and today some of the team spoke to Newswatch 16.
The Mid-Atlantic team is making its mark on the Little League World Series, but not only because they won both their games so far. The Taney Dragons see themselves as the home team.
"It's awesome because they get to see us play and we're representing Pennsylvania and hopefully bringing back a title to Philadelphia," Zion Spearman said.
"It's cool. I mean it's great that we get to host the whole Little League World Series and we have so many fans. It's amazing," Tai Shanahan said.
Little League officials said more than 30,000 people attended Mid-Atlantic's Sunday night game against Southwest. These kids from Philly say they've never played in front of that many people before.
"It was amazing. There were so many people. It was on TV. It was a great atmosphere," Shanahan said.
"There's a lot of pressure on you because they want you to do well and succeed, and so you just try to do your best on the field and make them proud," Jack Rice said.
These kids play for the Taney Youth Baseball Association in Philadelphia, and they are known as the Taney Dragons. But in South Williamsport they are known as Mid-Atlantic. Jack Rice calls playing in the Little League World Series a dream come true.
"I wanted to come here and play, and now it's reality that I get to come here and play at Lamade Stadium," Rice said.
The team's female pitcher, Mo'Ne Davis is getting a lot of attention, but even she says there is no "I" in team. She said she could not do it without her teammates.
Power hitter Zion Spearman summed up the Little League experience pretty well.
"It's been an amazing time meeting new teams and playing against the best competition in the whole world," Spearman said.
Pennsylvania's next game is Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and Little League officials said they expect a larger than normal crowd. Tickets are being distributed on a first come, first serve basis at the will-call window at noon that day. All tickets are free.

no, not my birthday or Nick's birthday.... Albert's birthday!
It was seriously the BEST birthday EVER! Beginning the night at Dry Dock Brewery for some fabulous seasonal beers (Gingerbread Winter Ale, Sweet Potato Stout, Raspberry Pomegranate Porter!) After a couple of brews, we headed next door for a roller skating party (Yes, a roller skating party!)
Regardless, though, we had a ton of fun in the rink, from the couples skate to the limbo:
Nick even got into the action!
And then the magic happened. We were on our way to grab some beer to take back to Albert's house for the rest of the evening, when we walked past Jumpoline - a building FULL OF TRAMPOLINES!!! It was open AND there was absolutely no one in there so we had the whole place all to ourselves!
I don't think I've had this much fun at a birthday party since I was in elementary school!!
it was amazing!!

Introduction to chanting the Name of God for health
The Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) since its inception has consistently spread the message that the root causes of problems in life are due to physical, psychological and spiritual reasons. Spiritual research conducted by SSRF has shown that the spiritual root causes for problems in life, including problems of health, can contribute as much as 80% to any given issue. Problems that have their root cause in the spiritual dimension can best be overcome by spiritual practice and other spiritual healing methods. In the current era, the recommended form of basic spiritual practice is the chanting of the Name of God according to the religion of one's birth. Chanting brings about physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. Click here to read more.

Okay, so it's about time I showed off some of my finds in Germany, be it only a two...but still, they're so pretty. I managed to tick off two boxes from my mental wish list/ must list; a floaty dress and a big daytime bag. The first is a steal from Zara at only €20, whilst the latter was spotted in the corner of my eye in a German shop called Promod for just €29.
|dress Zara bag Promod belt borrowed sandals a US shop jewellery highstreet sales watch thrift triangular earring Forever21 scarf H&M
These sandals are the only ones that I've really ever liked, and therefore have worn more than they can take I think, although saying that they aren't looking too shabby after four years! I also wore two pairs of earrings today, it's rare for me to even remember that I've had my ears pierced twice haha.
Hope you guys share the love for the floaty dress, it's just so summery!

This post is the 54th in a series on Booby Traps, made possible by the generous support of Motherlove Herbal Company.
Just as we've done for the prenatal and newborn period Booby Traps, we've created a checklist for beating the birth Booby Traps!
But first, a note: We know that not every low intervention birth leads yields breastfeeding success, and we also know that many high intervention births are followed by great breastfeeding experiences. Our list is based on the available evidence from numerous studies about factors that affect breastfeeding. Whatever your birth plans, we encourage you to prepare by assembling your A-Team!
– Choose your providers carefully. Learn your doctor/midwife and hospital's induction rate, c-section, and epidural rates. And consider a midwife for your birth. As this post describes, the Midwives Model of Care is supportive of breastfeeding.
– Hire a doula. Doulas are our BFFs (breastfeeding friends). Can't afford one? Read this post for ideas on how to get low cost or free trained labor support.
– Learn non-drug pain relief techniques for use before, in addition to, or instead of, medications.
– Avoid an early elective birth. This means not requesting or consenting to an induction or planned cesarean prior to 39 weeks of pregnancy unless it's medically necessary. Early elective births are associated with many problems, including breastfeeding difficulty. Not sure how to avoid one? See our interview with Jennifer Block, author of Pushed: The Painful Truth about Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care.
Aim for a low intervention birth, which is easier if you have the right labor support (see above). Many interventions can have an effect on breastfeeding, including:
- Extra force on the baby's head from forceps or vacuum
- Pain medications
- Having lots of IV fluids
- Cesarean section births
Be aware of these birth-related causes of your milk coming in late and these birth-related causes of low milk supply.

When new parents think about homeschooling, most of the time our minds go immediately to "Can I teach someone how to read?" We don't typically think, how do I teach my child to add or how do I teach my child about how to tie their shoes?
Teaching a child to read is for sure an overwhelming thought. The process seems a bit strange and abstract. So we start by teaching our child the alphabet, generally around the age of three. We sing songs and play games and buy videos and apps for our kids to watch and play to encourage reading.
When the child officially starts kindergarten, we jump right into whatever book we have chosen to help propel our child into literacy. Then it happens. The child only offers a blank stare at the proposition that letters are more than songs and things on a fun app. A stands for more than apple.
They don't get it.
So we search the internet about teaching a child to read, ask all our homeschooling friends, and all the teachers we know about the process of teaching a child to read. Then we gather those suggestions, our own research and we form our own theory about how it should work and why it isn't. The next step is finding a curriculum that closely resembles the theory we have come up with and the method that addresses whatever we believe the problem is.
We eagerly, with new hope and a bright shiny attitude, offer the proposed curriculum to the child. The child sees more of what confuses him in the first place. A stands for more than Apple. All the letters look different from each other. They all make sounds and are not consistent in their sounds. The instructions have a lot of words that look like a foreign language. The child is being called upon to deal with more than just one letter, one sound at a time and is now being told those sounds go together to form words. The problem is there are so many sounds and they all have to be memorized and then sounded out in a particular order and his parent is looking at him with a wistful longingness that is shadowed by a hint of desperation. He is confused and his self esteem takes a hit.
The parent sees that the child is struggling and apparently not comprehending. The parent's self esteem takes a hit. Maybe they are not cut out for homeschooling. Maybe they were silly to think they could homeschool to begin with. Maybe someone else could do it better. Maybe it is the curriculum. So, they buy another curriculum (maybe there is something different about this one) or hire a tutor or put the child in a brick and mortar school. Maybe the parent will have the child tested.
The real problem? A always stands for more than Apple, folks. The process of blending is essentially the same and there will always be sight words. The real issue is typically the child and their readiness to read.
The Common Core State Standards are not the only things that have decided a child should read by first grade. So have a lot of parents.
The wonderful thing about homeschooling is that children can truly learn at their own pace. If they are not ready to read or are really struggling, we can set it aside or back up to a place where the child is mostly comfortable. Instead I find we as parents tend to judge our ability to homeschool and sometimes our ability to parent based on our child's ability to read. And then the parent continues to push the child towards something they are not ready to do. This is not okay. Your child's value and success as a student is not based on his or her reading ability. Your capability as a parent is not measured by your child's reading ability.
I encourage you to take a breather. If your child is struggling, take a break. Skip reading lessons for a while. Read with your child or listen to audio books together. Skip school and play. Give your child time to mature a bit.
I have taught four children to read. My three older children all struggled. Their lack of ability made me question my own worth as a mother. But we persisted and worked in spurts. If they struggled and if there were tears and/attitude, we simply stopped. Eventually, there was enough starting and stopping that one day we started again and we did not have to stop. They were all around 9 when this happened for them. My youngest learned to read at lightening speed. She was reading at age 4! I am not even sure I taught her, it seemed to have just happened!
So, parents, give yourselves and your kids time. Remember childhood is about learning and play and figuring out the world and how it works.

Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale
A small, affectionate dog, the Yorkshire Terrier has been a popular breed all over the world for decades. They were originally "ratters" - bred to catch rats - for the working class of England, and were one of the first AKC registered breeds after their move to the United States in the late 1800s. These days, Yorkies are known for being independent and feisty at times, but they learn very quickly and are keen to be near their owners. Yorkies are small dogs, typically weighing in at an average of 5-7 pounds, and, although nobody can guarantee any dog is hypoallergenic, Yorkies are often referred to as hypoallergenic because they have human-like hair instead of fur.

It's possible "Saturday Night Live" will have a dead-on impersonation of ABC moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos this week, as regardless of whether Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton performed above or below expectations, ABC's inquisitors were excoriated by experts in journalism and politics for focusing more on American flag lapel pins than pinning the candidates down on policy specifics.
Voting with their remotes
The debate over the debate may abate post-Pennsylvania primary, but no one is arguing the one factor that performed above expectations: the voters, who became viewers in significant numbers. And not just in the more mature, civic-minded plus demos, but in the ad-centric adult 18-49 crowd, which elected to make the debate the highest-rated show from 8 to 9 p.m. ET. The full two hours averaged an overall 2.7/7 rating and share, which not only was the top-rated candidate forum (do they really debate?) so far this year but would make it the 34th ranked show for the week.
In many ways, this week's Top Ten also reflects an expectations game, in which shows can be evaluated not just on their rank, but on how well they perform compared to expectations. Fox's "American Idol," for instance, continued its landslide. Both Tuesday's competition and Wednesday's results show resulted in an 8.8 rating, with Tuesday slightly above with a 23 share compared to Wednesday's 22, good enough to take the top two spots of the week. But it also continued its slide, with Wednesday off 17% and Tuesday down 22% from season-to-date levels.
Two other reality shows that have defied expectations -- both culturally and commercially -- made the Top Ten, with mixed ratings results. One explores obesity and the other obsequiousness, as NBC's "Biggest Loser" contestants aspire to overcome a Western-world health crisis while Fox's "Hell's Kitchen" contestants perspire to curry favor with a boss from hell, chef Gordon Ramsay. All are particularly of the moment, making video virtue of behaviors previous generations would have watched prime time to escape from. "Hell's Kitchen" ranked seventh with a 4.7/12 but was down 14% from season-to-date levels, while "Biggest Loser" gained 34% for the finale, finishing eighth with a 4.4/11.
Reality beats drama
Of course, reality TV has performed better than expectations much of this season (particularly due to the writers strike), and drama has still been the decade's dominant genre. But at least until ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost" find their way back with fresh episodes, the drama genre was light on this week's list, with only two of the cop capers that have become a cottage industry making it: NBC's "Law and Order: SVU," which was sixth with a 4.7/13 and, representing CBS's "CSI" franchise, the "NY" version, No. 10 with a 3.9/10.
Instead, it was the oft-stumbling sitcom (a genre that has been about as popular as Dennis Kucinich and Tom Tancredo were in the primaries) with three spots on this week's list, including the CBS comedies "Two and a Half Men," fourth with a 5.3/13, and lead-out "Rules of Engagement" ninth, rating a 4.1/10.
But the biggest superseding of expectations is the superlative sitcom "The Office," which not only had to find a convincing replacement for legend Ricky Gervais in its jump across the pond from BBC to NBC, but break nearly every American rule by embracing irony, silencing the laugh track and never making the lead character accessible or sympathetic. Fans -- including Gervais himself -- have flocked to the Steve Carell version, making it last night's top-rated program and, if the Nielsen Fast Affiliate ratings hold, number five for the week with a 4.9/13. (Lead-out "Scrubs," which may be heading out to ABC, was thirteenth with a 3.7/10.)
The potential "Scrubs" move to ABC may have been the best news for the network all week. Because while most of the media scrutiny was on the debate and its effect on the next occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it was Wisteria Lane and "Desperate Housewives" that may have concerned the network more. The show returned with the first first-run episode since viewers got so swept up in the pre-strike tornado cliffhanger, finishing third with a 5.9/14. But in network TV's expectations game it under-delivered, as this year's "second premiere" was off 21% from September's debut and down 19% off its original episode season-to-date levels. Unlike the senators, maybe what the housewives need is a good, juicy scandal.

NOTE: A share is a percentage of TV households that have their TV sets on at a given time. A rating is a percentage of all TV households, whether or not their sets are turned on. For example, a 1.0 rating is 1% of the total U.S. households with a TV. In order to report ratings on a timely basis, all the ratings listed here reflect a Nielsen Live+1 number, unless otherwise noted. (Many ad deals have been negotiated on the basis of a commercial minute, live-plus-3 viewing basis.)

Synopsis: Amber has finally made it to college! She can't believe her luck when she is invited to her first frat party by the hottest guy she has ever met. She can't wait to find out what it is all of the hot college guys do when they party. However, Amber may be in a little over her head when she finds herself tricked into helping "initiate" the new Beta pledges at a frat party. Amber is always up for anything, but this time she may have to ask herself if maybe you can have too much of a good thing.
Excerpt: A heavy silence descended on us as we entered the room. I jumped as the door closed with a heavy thud. I squinted in the darkness and could barely make out four guys kneeling on the floor. A candle flared to life, and Zack stepped up beside me.
