Microdermabrasion is a simple, non-invasive technique that may improve the signs of aging, overall texture, tone, and clarity of the skin. A single, one-hour treatment will freshen your skin, giving it a healthy glow -- and there's virtually no recovery time. Microdermabrasion can reduce mild acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, improving the appearance of poorly textured skin, fine lines, and large or clogged pores.
During the microdermabrasion treatment, our medical aesthetician presses a device against your skin which causes a gentle abrasion through a fine crystal spray that breaks up dead skin and other imperfections. There are many materials that may be used, including aluminum oxide crystals, sodium bicarbonate crystals, diamond-tipped crystals, or salt crystals. Your face may be slightly red for an hour after treatment. Multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve the results you're looking for, and you'll need a daily skin care regimen in order to maintain the benefits.
We can help you understand everything involved in your treatment, including risks and likely results. Our medical aesthetician will be happy to provide a complimentary evaluation to discuss the best options for you and your skin.
To learn more, or to find out if microdermabrasion is right for you, call our office at 941.488.5300.

right now, I'm wearing a very french looking black sweater. it goes with my black jeans and orange converse.
the airport rocked. first, I saw a LONG (45 minutes?) line for the air france ticket counter. since I had no bags to check, I figured I could skip that line, right? not without some finagling. I walked to the security guards guarding the hallway to the gates. they wouldnt let me through without a boarding pass. where do I get a boarding pass? at the end of the 45 minute rainbow. so I walk to the front of the rainbow and stand in the 1st class line behind the one first-classer - my ticket aint first class. after a while I was up and asked the guy, in french, if I need to check in here since I have no bags to check or if I can waltz to the gate. he answers, in english (fucker), that he can help me here and I need not wait in line. I was a touch nervous, expecting him to say (in english), "oh... a coach ticket, eh (french canadian?)? you want to go to the other end of the rainbow." but he started telling me that I have a vegan meal (d'oh!) and a window seat. I didn't inquire about what happened to my eggs and dairy, but I did ask if there was a window seat in an exit row. I ended up with what was, to me, the best seat this side of first class - the coveted window exit aisle.
then I had to go through security. that was an adventure. last time I was travelling, they told me that my camera and film had to go through the xray machine and it was safe up to ASA 1000 (pretty high speed film that most people wouldn't have). at that time, in LAX, I decided that next time I was flying, I'd have some faster film and not go through the xray thing. so I brought some 3200 with me (and because I hope to go visit the catacombs under paris). when I told her that I didn't want to put my camera through the xray, she gave me the same dubious challenging "and what speed is your film, little boy?" that I got last time. the ooooh and the face I got when I said 3200 was worth the price of admission. I ran my other stuff through the xray and carried my camera and film through the metal detector. as I tried to explain to them, of course the cqmera set off the metal detector. they frisked me and metal-detector wanded me. they sniffed my camera and film with bomb detecting cloth. security was muck more entertaining and much longer than it usually is.
then I met a cool german chick named something I couldn't pronounce, "but in america, people call me birthie." we talked for almost two hours. I took a few pictures of her and showed her my little photoalbumfolio and we discussed differences in german and ucsbian culture. she looks really sexy doing both the american and international (or maybe it was only german) rhumba (or the rumba as I learned). her email address comes from a terry pratchett character. we talked about maybe me going to visit her in germany during this vacation in paris. that sounds great, except that when I checked mapquest it was about 900 kilometers from paris to her town. unless I misheard/misspelled the name of her town or something. perhaps some other trip.
when I got on the plane, I was subject to "random search" for the secon plane trip in a row.
the guy next to me on the plane got plastered on free air france wine and champagne and snored.
in paris, I successfully asked for an ATM. and I told the taxi driver the address in french and not only did he understand on the first try, he didn't start talking to me in english. rock on. he was from zaire - now one of my favorite french accents.
it rained yesterday as we ate mall quality food in a brasserie near the notre dame cathedral. it sucked.

Trent Reznor's Five Star Film: Dead Ringers (David Cronenberg - 1988)
He's the iconic Nineties musician done good. From creating seminal alternative rock music with Nine Inch Nails to winning an Oscar with Atticus Ross for scoring The Social Network, the 49-year-old has carved out a blazing career path. He reteams with director David Fincher and Ross for their third collaboration together after The Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The trio are putting the dread in, er, dead with crime thriller Gone Girl. A self-confessed "film addict", getting to work with Fincher has been a dream come true for Reznor who said he has always felt an affinity with the filmmaker's dark work. It's no surprise then, that when it comes to one of his favourite flicks of all time it's something equally as disturbing, from the master of body horror himself - David Cronenberg. Trent Reznor shares his Five Star Film with Graffiti.
'That's another tough question but some of my favourites would be Blue Velvet, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Taxi Driver. David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers is a Five Star Film though, that just popped into my head. The tone of Cronenberg's films are amazing, particularly that one. It was very inspirational to me in the writing of a couple of albums -The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. It's as well as that sense of dread when you're not sure what's going to happen but you can tell it's just not going to work out. It's not going to have a happy ending and I related to that. His sense of body horror really touched a primal instinct in me. I almost said Videodrome but that's more of a guilty pleasure... I love that movie as well."

Winstrol helps in maintaining the levels of testosterone hormones in a male body. Apart from this, it has many other health and body building benefits and hence it's becoming quite popular among fitness freaks.
Winstrol is an anabolic androgenic steroid, which is why lot of rumors are associated with it. It is widely believed that steroids have very disastrous effects on human body. We are often asked by our readers from Italy, "If buying Winstrol is legal in Italy?" We have done some research and shared details here. Take a read!
Before proceeding, let's talk a little about Winstrol.
Why Winstrol is so popular?
As mentioned, Winstrol is an anabolic androgenic steroid. It's commonly called Stanozolol. Many body builders, athletes and weight lifters are consuming Winstrol because of its number of health benefits. Some of its health benefits are:
- Getting leaned and ripped muscles.
- It synthesizes proteins and also enhances nitrogen retention in muscles.
- Enhancing strength and stamina.
- It boosts up the Red blood cells production in the body.
- Enhancing libido.
- Eliminating fat.
It's powerful tool for both, cutting and bulking cycles. It's most preferred choices for cutting cycle, though.
Is it legal in Italy?
Yes, it's absolutely legal and not just in Italy, but also in other countries like US, Canada, Australia etc across the world. It's a prescribed drug which means it's only available through prescription, so it's 100% legal.
If it's legal then why it's misunderstood?
Winstrol is a very popular and powerful drug. Far too many people have been cheated by online vendors. According to sources, there are some fraudulent websites, black-market sellers and manufactures selling some fake product under the name of Winstrol. Many people have discovered a variety of problems after consuming such fake supplements.
Moreover, cases have been reported, where many people are buying and making illegal use of such steroid supplements because of which purchasing of steroids could be little strict, but not illegal and with prescription it's absolutely legal.
Make sure you buy supplements from trusted websites, read complete details, reviews and benefits and risks. At Steriodly.com we will give you complete information about steroid supplements and their usage. You can go to the website or visit our sponsors for making a purchase or queries.
If you're still unsure about the steroids, we suggest you to consult a doctor or specialist to make sure if it's safe for you or not. Remember, not everything we hear is true always. It's possible that what we hear is just somebody's opinion and not a fact!

Bio Spot Spot On Flea Treatment for Dogs Review
Keeping your pet flea and tick free is a dream for all pet parents, though it's one that is rarely achieved. Pets like running around in the yard, in the park, and all the other places where they become easy targets for flea and ticks.
The good news is that you have tons of options to choose from to treat fleas and ticks and keep them at bay. The difficult news is the choice you have to make when it comes to decide the best for your pet.
We'll help you along the process by telling you all about the Bio Spot Spot On.
Company claims
The Bio Spot Spot On is available for dogs. It's a topical treatment that should be applied once a month and comes in a three month supply package.
The treatment claims to have an insect growth regulator that stops larvae from turning into adults and also prevents eggs from hatching.
This product is useful for treating fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It also kills larvae and eggs.
It prevents re-infestation for up to 30 days, though there's no information available on how soon it starts killing insects.
How it works
The Bio Spot Spot On treatment kills deer ticks, adult fleas, and protects pets against mosquitoes. It also has a growth regulator that inhibits larvae from growing.
The treatment includes the following ingredients:
- 45% Permethrin
- 3.0% (S)-methoprene
- 52% other ingredients
Permethrin is a synthetic chemical that is commonly used as an insecticide. It is a neurotoxin that kills insects by blocking neuron membranes. Though designated as safe for adult dogs, it's toxic to cats. If you have both cats and dogs and opt to use a permethrin product, you need to keep your dog and cat separated for several hours.
(S)-methoprene acts as a growth inhibitor to prevent larvae and eggs from becoming adults. It is found in many spot on treatments.
Usage information
There is no available information on whether the treatment is waterproof. Some sources recommend that you shouldn't bathe your dog for up to 24 hours after application.
Bio Spot Spot On is available online through licensed retailers and also in pet stores or larger supermarkets.
It can be used for puppies that are 6 weeks or older. There are specific formulations available depending on the age and weight of your dog.
Consult your vet before using on a pregnant, breeding, medicated, or aged animal.
Product warnings and side effects
Do not use Bio Spot Spot On near cats or fish as it is dangerously toxic to them.
Bio Spot Spot On has low toxicity for humans and is usually not absorbed by skin. While it's safe to use, it should be kept out of reach from children.
Pet owners are divided on this; some people love it, others not so much.
Our take – try it and see if it works for your pet but if you have cats, you may want to try something else first.

Limits of Power
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Elizabeth Moon
Narrated By: Angela Dawe
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Date: June 2013
Duration: 20 hours 19 minutes
Elizabeth Moon is back with the fourth adventure in her bestselling fantasy epic. Moon brilliantly weaves a colorful tapestry of action, betrayal, love, and magic set in a richly imagined world that stands alongside those of such fantasy masters as George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb. The unthinkable has occurred in the kingdom of Lyonya. The queen of the Elves — known as the Lady — is dead, murdered by former elves twisted by dark powers. Now the Lady's half-elven grandson must heal the mistrust between elf and human before their enemies strike again. Yet as he struggles to make ready for an attack, an even greater threat looms across the Eight Kingdoms. Throughout the north, magic is reappearing after centuries of absence, emerging without warning in family after family — rich and poor alike. In some areas, the religious strictures against magery remain in place, and fanatical followers are stamping out magery by killing whoever displays the merest sign of it — even children. And as unrest spreads, one very determined traitor works to undo any effort at peace — no matter how many lives it costs. With the future hanging in the balance, it is only the dedication of a few resolute heroes who can turn the tides . . . if they can survive.

Database migration and testing as a library. https://github.com/AndrewRademacher/mallard
|LTS Haskell 10.10:
|Stackage Nightly 2017-12-24:
|Latest on Hackage:
Module documentation for 0.6.1.1
No frills migration for relational databases. Usable as either an application or library.
Mallard offers the following key features:
- Dependency resolution with circular reference prevention.
- Native migration scripts.
- Accretive implementation. Purposeful omission of "down migrations."
There are currently no packaged distributions for Mallard, though they are coming soon. We were added to Stackage on Sep 21, 2017. So we just might make it into the LTS-9.6. Packaged distributions for Homebrew and Debian will be coming along soon. Currently, we don't know if there is any demand for Windows or RPM distribution, let us know if there is.
Supported Databases
- PostgreSQL
Application Mini-Manual
migrator - applies PSQL database migrations.
Usage: mallard ROOT [--host ARG] [--port ARG] [--user ARG] [--password ARG]
--database ARG [-t|--test]
Apply migrations to a database server.
Available options:
--host ARG Server host (default: "127.0.0.1")
--port ARG Server port (default: 5432)
--user ARG Username (default: "postgres")
--password ARG Password (default: "")
--database ARG Database name
-t,--test Run tests after migration.
-h,--help Show this help text
Migration Structure
Mallard is designed to use a single root folder for all the migrations that define a database. Within this folder any structure is permitted. However, we recommend something like the following.
- root
- tables
- person.sql
- phone.sql
- views
- person_with_phone.sql
- functions
- add_phone.sql
Wherein the migrations related to a given entity are kept in a single file. One such file might look like the following.
-- #!migration
-- name: "tables/phone",
-- description: "Phone numbers attached to a person.",
-- requires: ["tables/person"];
SET search_path TO contact;
CREATE TABLE phone(
id BIGSERIAL NOT NULL,
owner_id bigint NOT NULL,
digits text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (owner_id) REFERENCES person(id)
-- #!migration
-- name: "tables/phone/name",
-- description: "Add name column to phone number.",
-- requires: ["tables/phone"];
SET search_path TO contact;
ALTER TABLE phone ADD COLUMN name text;
Mallard is perfectly happy to accept as many migrations in a single file as you are willing to put there. However, there are a few rules you will have to follow.
- The SQL comments in which a migrations header are located must be contiguous.
- Each migration or test must begin with
- Each header field must end with
,, or if it is the last field a
These rules allow the header to be fully defined in the comments of an otherwise normal SQL file.

Appear, there's no doubt that environmentalism is a philosophy that we as a species want to adopt for our personal survival. At present, we are the third largest transportation service in Portland, we do not feel the require to be the largest, just to give the greatest service, and we ARE number #1 in service. Tata Motors is the largest automobile organization of Asia headquartered in Mumbai, India. At least the sales figures from the very first half of 2015 says so. VW group is a big group and personal firms like Audi, Skoda, Bugatti and several other brands. Van Oord is also involved in practically all big harbour projects all more than the planet.
The Dutch are still people who like to travel about the globe, not always aware that occasions are changed and the human race expanded with sevenfold considering that the occasions the Dutch ruled the globe with each other with the British. Note: Regardless of The Heart Attack Grill receiving official recognition from Guinness Planet Records for deliberately serving the world's most unhealthy meals, other American restaurants have gained notoriety for promoting even bigger commercially available hamburgers. Reality #6: Known as the most costly auto crash ever, eight Ferraris were involved in a single accident occurring in Shimonoseki, in Southwestern Japan, on December six, 2011.
Following World War II, driving became enshrined as America's transportation mode of option. It is part of Mitsubishi keiretsu, formerly the most significant industrial group in Japan, and was formed in 1970 from the automotive division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Adobe Systems has earned lots of awards and recognition and is regarded as one of the ideal location to function in the world. And please do quit in at the Midwest Classics and Chrome Car Show – it really is the ideal in the Midwest but yes I am biased my husband is founding member and co-chair of the show. Only trailing Toyota by a couple of hundred thousand vehicles this previous year, they continue to challenge the planet leader.
The German government set a goal of 35-{d7cd91b0160f2830adfe94171269e805513ddd42b7e956b2ba879774f8536ad3} renewable energy by the year 2020 and as a result Germany is the major producer of wind turbines and solar power technologies in the planet. By following the event closely, Corgi Toys were in a position to problem a model of the winning car shortly soon after the finish of the rally Often there was not even sufficient time to produce a special box for the new model, which had to make do with a hastily made sticker applied to a normal issue box for a comparable model. Families could pack into the automobile with their snacks, and watch motion pictures late into the evening.
Even so, the old pumping station is not just a developing, the largest pumping station in the planet is steam powered and has still an critical function. If your battery's the unsealed type, you must add water to keep away from drying up. Here's how to put water in the battery: twist open the cap and prime up with distilled water. But it's only a matter of time isn't it till Hyundai-Kia are a fixture at or close to the best of world sales. Because Guinness needs the automobile to do two runs (one particular in either direction) and the automobile business must manufacture a minimum of 30 automobiles to even be regarded as the fastest production auto.

4 Easy Fixes to Prevent Smelly Drains
4 Easy Fixes to Prevent Smelly Drains
Are you afraid to enter your kitchen? Is it the trash, or the kids' sneakers by the kitchen door that smells? No, it's the kitchen sink drain. Making it smell nice is difficult. Despite wire mesh traps, food gets into the drains. We're here to help.
1. Use What's In Your Kitchen
Scraping plates into the trash doesn't get all the food off. Many time food still gets trapped in the drain pipes which can build up over time. To combat this, our expert plumbers can take apart the pipes to clean your P-trap to get rid of old food that could be causing odors. To get rid of daily odors we recommend baking soda in the drain followed by boiling water.
2. Lemon Juice Works
Our experienced team has methods of loosening blockages in your pipes. From snakes to water jetting, we blast blockages. To prevent odors from blockages, drop baking soda, coarse Himalayan pink salt and lemon juice, in that order, down the drain. Let it sit for several hours or overnight to kill odors. Follow with boiling water.
3. Use Boiling Water
Boiling water breaks up and moves food particles. When cooking hard-boiled eggs, pasta or boil water for tea, pour the boiling water down the drains immediately afterwards. This will prevent food from sitting over long periods of time and prevents decomposition. Add your favorite essential oils, such as tea tree oil, orange, or lemon for a nice-smelling drain.
4. Add Vinegar
Pour in the drain baking soda and salt, then finish with vinegar. When it stops bubbling, pour in the boiling water.
For stubborn drain blockages with an odor, please call us. We'll answer any drain questions and can help you find remedies to common plumbing problems. Be sure to visit our website to schedule service calls online. We're happy to help!

McCarthy: Wolves good value for point
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy felt his side fully deserved their point - and perhaps more - after twice coming from behind to draw at fellow strugglers Hull on Saturday.
Wolves scored for the first time in five games as they drew 2-2 against their Barclays Premier League relegation rivals at KC Stadium.
When asked if his team had earned a good point, McCarthy said: "I think we should have had three - but we have got one more than we had."
He added: "I think being behind twice renders it a good point but I think the way we played and the chances we had, we did enough to win it.
"I thought the first goal was against the run of play. Our first goal was an own goal but we set off well in the second half and forced them into a mistake.
"And I think we deserved our second one, for sure.
"I thought we were the better team in the second half."
Hunt's goal came from the penalty spot after Ronald Zubar bundled over Jozy Altidore and McCarthy had no complaints with the award.
He said: "I thought it the worst decision I have seen in a long time - by Ronald Zubar! The penalty was a penalty, no question in my mind."

LeBron James is one of the finest basketball players that the world has seen. He is also one of the most popular athletes in the sporting world and is loved by people. He is a 32 year old professional basketball player who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team. The signs of aging can be seen on his body as he is gaining some weight around his stomach region and has started to look fat. But recently he has shocked the world with his new slim and well ripped body. There are rumors that James has appointed a personal trainer who has helped him to lose the weight and shape his body. James is looking forward to play for the team till he reaches 40. So, he is currently working hard so that he should have enough power and stamina to play till that age.
LeBron James has won three championship titles in his career till date but he dreams of winning more titles for his team. He is also working hard in the Gym to improve his power and stamina.

James is focusing more on cardio as well as on lifting weights. Most of the men want to know about LeBron muscle James supplements so that using it, they can also tone their body and make themselves look fit. The professional basketball player has revealed the supplements that he takes on a daily basis. These are Alpha Prime Elite and Elite Nitric oxide. A brief about both the products are listed below.
Alpha Prime Elite: Alpha Prime Elite is a performance enhancing supplement whose main aim is to increase the testosterone level in your body. Testosterone is a male hormone that is responsible for the development of the male body. This hormone regulates the function of body from time to time. When people age the testosterone level of the body usually falls and the person starts to have body problems such as pain in the body muscles, bones also become soft and muscles lose their power. But this supplement will help you to maintain the testosterone levels in your body as well as increase the body strength. It also increases the rate of burning the body fat as well as improves muscle definition.
Elite Nitric Oxide: Elite Nitric Oxide is a pre-workout supplement that can help you to build your body as well as gain muscles.

We're big fans of home hair colouring, it's great value and the formulas around these days mean you can't really go wrong.
So we're well impressed with these gorgeous shades from Colour Freedom. Metallic Glory Permanent Hair Colour Shades are reduced at the moment from £7.99 to £5.32 (Superdrug). The shades are subtle, with six shades, Metallic Beige, Bronze, Rose, Copper Blush, Grey Pearl, Metallic Mahogany.
For the true metallic effect, hair should be pre-bleached or lightened, or white blonde, as the formula doesn't lighten dark areas, just enhances lighter areas, so it's perfect for ombre or Balayage styles who want to change it up. We love the colours, they're just different enough to brighten hair without a drastic change.

On the stage, on the ice, over the airwaves, and in grocery stores and businesses throughout the region, it's going to be a "Grand" kick-off to the 2017 Business Cares Food Drive in support of the London Food Bank.
Tomorrow morning, the 2017 Business Cares Food Drive campaign officially kicks off at Western University's London Hall.
The excitement starts at 10 a.m. as we're joined by members of The Grand Theatre's High School Project -- the same amazingly talented teens who brought you this year's production of Evita.
We'll outline this year's campaign goals, have representatives of the committee on hand to talk about the campaign, and offer insights on how you or your business can get involved.
It's a full day of events! CBC London will host its Sounds of the Season event and will be collecting donations for the London and Area Food Bank. And tomorrow night marks the first Be a Fan, Bring a Can Event at the Budweiser Gardens as the London Knights host the Oshawa Generals.
On Saturday and Sunday, Business Cares volunteers will be at grocery stores throughout the city, collecting cash and non-perishable food item donations. And many of the participating stores have created pre-packaged bundles that you can just add to your order at the register!
One more? OK! The Grand Theatre is also supporting the campaign by encouraging its patrons to say #Humbugtohunger and make a cash donation to the Food Bank following every performance of its run of A Christmas Carol.
We can't wait to kick off the campaign and we hope you'll join us.

The reason this caught my eye was because I've liked using Glogster to create an on-line poster or to spice up a wiki. I've also shown Glogster to a few teachers this year (at least one has the EDU account with her students and they use it quite a bit). I've also used it for my own wiki (for our daughter's 2nd Birthday part invite), and even as a colorful way to link to websites in our CA BOCES RtI wiki.
Here's a Glog I made from 'TweetShots' (Captured from Jing) that I recieved today:
I think Glogster is a neat visual way to spice things up like I said, however, just loading this page and getting back into edit have been difficult. I also know others (including one of the teachers I work with) have had it not save or upload pictures when a class full of kids were on the Glogster site.
Thanks to everyone who helped out today and to @paulawhite for distracting my from my paperwork!?!?
Actually, it was a great opportunity for me to see what others have done and HEY, I blogged again.
What do you know.
Any other ideas on how to use Glogs in the classroom (or personally)?

"If Global Warming Continues, 40 Percent of World Forests Extinct"
TOKYO, June 14, 1998 (Itar-Tass) -- If global warming continues at the present rate, the world will lose over 40 percent of its forests by the year 2010. According to Sunday press reports, this dismal warning was made by a group of researchers from several Japanese institutions, who extrapolated trends in the ecological sphere with a computer.
In turn, dying forests will only aggravate "the greenhouse effect," since dead trees will not be able to absorb carbon gas, but, on the contrary, will exude it.
According to calculations by Japanese researchers from the Tokyo technological institute and the National ecological research institute, if temperature rises only by two degrees Centigrade on the planet in the 21st century, over a quarter of forests will die away.
If the average level of warming amounts to 3.5 degrees, this will result in the destruction of 43 percent of forests. Damage to forests will be especially destructive in the northern hemisphere. Qualitatively new types of forests may appear in some regions, the Japanese researchers added.

If you prefer to walk around Weymouth in the summer, it is important to take steps to avoid pedestrian accidents. Accidents that involve pedestrians are usually more serious that those that only involve cars for obvious reasons. Walkers do not have the safety of an automobile to absorb the impact of the crash.
There are several things you can do to keep yourself safe while you enjoy the fresh air and stroll through your neighborhood. Police advice walkers to pay attention to the roads as if they were driving. You need to be aware of your surroundings so you can make adjustments when necessary. If a car appears to be moving erratically, you'll have more time to get out of the way if you notice it before it gets too close to you.
If you walk after dark, it is vital that you wear brightly colored clothing so motorists can see you. Being visible to passing drivers may help them see you in time to prevent them from hitting you while you are out for an evening walk. At night, only cross in well-lit areas where there are stop signs and cross walks. Be sure to keep a close eye on your children while you are walking in the evening.
When you walk on a road without a sidewalk, it is important to use the grass instead of the roadway whenever possible. Walk toward oncoming traffic so you can see drivers as they approach you and can move out of the way if necessary. Pedestrian accidents are common on busy roads so it is vital that you do as much to avoid them as you can. If you are ever struck by a car while you are walking, contact a Lawyer in Weymouth MA right away to protect your rights and get the money you need for medical care. For more information, visit Gnwlaw.com.
Whether you are in a car crash or a pedestrian accident, a Lawyer in Weymouth MA, such as The Law Offices of Graham N. Wright Weymouth MA may be able to get you the cash you need from the driver's insurance company. Whether you are able to settle or you take your case to court, your lawyer will stand by your side until the case is closed.

Testimony Thursday
#TestimonyThursday If you were God and you gave someone ten thousand Naira and he tells everyone what God has done while there is another person whom you gave a million Naira and he wouldn't even share the testimony with anyone. Who would you give more money next time? The one who told everybody of course! Testimonies are a documentation of gratitude, the more testimonies you share the more God does for you. Last week Tuesday it was Ebony Life TV, this week it was NTA international and I trust BBC and CNN are coming next week 😄🙌 God is not a cheat and He will owe no man, God promises a 100 fold return on anything you sow to the gospel, you may not believe it but for those of us who believe it, it's working for us. After I was transferred to Abuja in 2014, I was trying to implement a social media strategy for my office, I thought that was how God would bless me so I went to see my closest mentor Brother Tayo Fatogun and he said to me "COZA is building, take a seed and sow to the project". I didn't even have money to sow and I asked the Holy Spirit and He said to me "sow your Tv" wow that was my most prized possession at the time but I obeyed! As I got to the church office, the Chief Protocol called Pastor and Pastor said to me "Wale I was just thinking of what to buy for the church lobby and you brought this, God will honor you" First of all God brought back many televisions, I have a TV in every room in my house right now and then God began to put me on TV. I have never paid for adverts either on radio or TV. Just yesterday NTA came to interview us at Sapphire Scents along with our distributors. Your seed NEVER dies, it goes into your future and MULTIPLIES! That precious thing in your hand will never be more than what it is but if you sow it, it will multiply! The only way to live this life is to trust Jesus and you will never be disappointed. You too can be a social media evangelist, kindly share and repost this Gospel of Jesus Christ so that others can be blessed just like you have been blessed. Thank you for reading.

3. Tommy Haas v Feliciano Lopez
The top half of the mens draw has held up well and one to watch on Super Saturday, as I am calling it, will be Tommy Haas up against the Eastbourne champion, Feliciano Lopez. Haas beat the showers to post a commanding 6-3 6-2 7-5 victory over Jimmy Wang. Lopez progressed into the third round by virtue of a retirement from Paul-Henri Mathieu and his second win over Gilles Simon in a week having played the Frenchman in the final of Eastbourne. Haas has been playing incredibly consistent tennis this year, but Lopez has peaked during the grass court season and his serve and volley game works wonders on this surface. Haas leads the head-to-head 2-0, but the last of those matches was nearly ten years ago. This should be a good match, but I think Lopez has played a lot of tennis over the last couple of weeks and Haas will be too solid...
Prediction - Haas to beat Lopez in 4 sets
|Aga Radwanska
Laura Robson to beat Marina Erakovic in 3 sets
Alison Riske to beat Kaia Kanepi in 3 sets
Klara Zakopalova to beat Li Na in 3 sets
Tomas Berdych to beat Kevin Anderson in 3 tight sets
David Ferrer to beat Alexandr Dolgopolov in 4 sets
Juan Martin del Potro to beat Grega Zemlja in 4 sets
I will be at Wimbledon tomorrow as my Brother has Centre Court tickets so I will be doing my final live tweeting from the 2013 grass court season so please do give me a follow @MooTennisBlog. I am now on holiday for the next week so I hope to be able to devote a little bit more time to my blog including my showcase Magic Monday previews, which will be posted Sunday evening :-)

Question of the Week
Tip of the Week
Recommended Books
Contact Sam
By Ilyce R. Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin
Summary: A homeowner receives foreclosure
papers. Ilyce and Sam explain why bankruptcy should be their last option.
Q: We have just been served with foreclosure papers. We have been in our home two years and I am now unemployed and on disability due to severe health problems. My disability checks should begin to come in two months.
Because were having trouble managing everything without income, weve decided to file for bankruptcy. We understand some of the risks but we are hoping not to lose our home. Where do we begin to take care of these important issues?
A: It is unfortunate that your situation has become so desperate. I wish you had written to me sooner. You tend to have more options available to you before your lender puts your home in foreclosure. But lets take things one step at a time.(article continues below useful links)
The most important debt you have is your mortgage, and you should start talking to your lender about what you can do to save your home. Your lender may be willing to extend your payments or make some accommodation for you, although now that your house has gone into foreclosure, it may be tougher to work things out.
If the lender wont help you in any meaningful way, you may wish to talk to
a credit counseling service about your situation before you file for bankruptcy.
Look for a not-for-profit service that can help you understand your options
and your situation, like the National Foundation for Consumer Credit (www.nfcc.org),
which is affiliated with more than 1,000 Consumer Credit Counseling Service
offices nationwide (800-388-2227 or www.cccsinc.org).
The non-profit credit counseling office you choose should be willing to sit down with you and discuss your financial situation and determine whether you can budget yourself out of your problems. Bankruptcy and debt management programs should be your last option.

That's what she said.Posted: March 14th, 2008Category: Life as I Know It 1 Comment
Sitting here at work typing away and I get the urge to delve into the candy jar I keep on my desk for fellow employees to partake in while they our visiting our little purchasing kingdome. I don't usually eat candy but I saw a small box of Dots and had a sudden yearning for them. I reached into the jar and pulled out that yellow box of goodness, opened it up and poured the 5 colored gum drop shaped candies onto my desk. I promptly discarded the orange one by tossing it at Nate then popped the red one into my mouth.
Hard as a rock. Stale, probobly left over from Halloween 1982.
"God Damn!", I yelled, spitting the candy into my trash can. "That's got to be the hardest thing I have ever put into my mouth!"
Nate turns to me and calmly says, "That's what she said."

As someone who has been 'blessed' with dark under-eye circles, concealer is a beauty essential of mine.
I've tried quite a few concealers over the last few years (MeMeMe Flawless Concealer, Soap & Glory's Kick-Ass concealer, Rimmel's Wake Me Up, Revlon Beyond Natural, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection and Max Factor's Mastertouch, to name a few), but until late last year, I hadn't found the one. I know a lot of people swear by brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown and Benefit, but much as I would love to try them out, I just can't afford to.
Instead, I look for brands that are more within my budget, and although this one is a little more high end than some, it is a life saver:
This little beauty is Une's Intuitive Touch BB-Cream concealer.
I'd seen Une in Boots before but had never actually tried any of their products before as they are a little more expensive, but after my mum trying the concealer on a whim and then raving about how good it was, I decided to go out and buy one for myself.
Now for the concealer itself.
I was so eager to try it that I actually went to the ladies' room straight after buying it to put it on, and I have to say that I was impressed.
The concealer has a creamy consistency, similar to Soap & Glory's Kick-Ass concealer, and as I find that stick concealers are too drying and liquids don't give enough coverage, cream concealers are perfect for me.
The coverage is really good, and it's buildable, so on those days where you just want light coverage, a little bit of this will be exactly what you need, and when you want heavier coverage, just apply a couple of extra layers and you're good to go. What's even better is that even when you go for the heavier coverage, it still looks very natural,
even if you're not wearing foundation.
The product also blends out easily and the colour matches my skin well (it matches my face better than it matches my hand!), which is ideal when you're someone who has college most days and doesn't have a lot of time to hang around making sure your makeup is blended properly.
As well as all of the above, Une's BB-Cream concealer is also better for your skin! 100% of its ingredients are from natural origin and 10% are from organic farming, so there are no nasties such as parabens or artificial fragrances. This means that not only does it provide good coverage for dark circles, but it is also safe to use on blemishes, and the chances of it clogging your pores are minimal.
The only downside is that it does have a tendency to settle, particularly in the crease of your eyelid and in any lines under your eyes, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a quick swipe of your finger, and considering how wonderful every other aspect of this product is, I think it's worth putting up with.
Unfortunately Boots don't sell the Une range anymore, although some Superdrugs stock it, as do a few online stores. It costs around £10, which I consider quite a lot, but it is most definitely worth it!

An Garda Síochana will conduct a national speed enforcement operation "Slow Down", supported by the Road Safety Authority and other stakeholders for a 24 hour period from 07.00 hrs on Friday 25th May to 07.00 hrs on Saturday 26th May 2018.
National "Slow Down" Day- 7.00 hrs Friday 25th May to 7.00 hrs Saturday 26th May 2018.
In terms of road safety, 2017 was the lowest on record with 157 road deaths, however it is still 157 road deaths too many. Excessive and inappropriate speed is a major contributory factor in road traffic collisions, further confirmed by the recent RSA report on fatal collisions between 2008 and 2012 which found that excessive speed was a contributory factor in one third of all fatal collisions during that time. The higher the speed, the greater the likelihood is of a collision happening and the more severe the outcome of that collision. As a general rule a 1 % reduction in average speed will bring about a 4% reduction in fatal collisions, and this is why reducing motorists' speed is essential to improving road safety.
The objective is to reduce the number of speed related collisions, save lives and reduce injuries on our roads.

The news doesn't stop, because crime never does either.
With the deluge of crime stories that Online Auto Insurance News (OAIN) sees everyday relating to car coverage, here is a roundup of this week's biggest headline-grabbing yarns.
And it certainly is a deluge. This week: celebrity comeuppance comes 'round for an insurance broker; a used-car buyer gets news of the worst purchase ever; and office appliance legality comes into question.
Sentence Handed to Phony Invoicer Who Bilked Tom Hanks, The Police's Former Guitarist
Charlie Wilson just won his war.
The man who bilked Tom Hanks (of "Charlie Wilson's War") and his wife Rita Wilson of a whole lot of premium overcharges was sentenced this week to 27 months in federal prison.
The California-based insurance broker, Jerry Goldman, faked invoices on policies for everything from cars to property to fine art (ahh, the life of a celebrity).
Victims in the Goldman case also included Andy Summers, a former guitarist of The Police.
Goldman has also been linked to an insurance scam that entangled Sam Raimi, director of several "Spider Man" and "The Evil Dead" films.
According to federal attorney Stephanie Yonekura: "I believe the reason why [the victims] didn't notice is they weren't familiar with the insurance industry and they didn't know what an actual valid premium would look like."
Again: ahh, the life of a celebrity.
Woman Pays Insurance on Used Scam Car, Gets It Taken
A Nebraska woman is lamenting a used-car buy gone bad.
She bought her Mazda 6 in 2009 from a used-car dealership. Five years of car insurance payments later, Jill Matthews got a Halloween trick when "a State Trooper showed up at her work," according to WOWT 6 News.
The problem? The car was part of an Illinois-based large auto theft scam that involved altering pieces of vehicle information and selling off stolen cars (a man is jailed in Illinois on charges relating to the thefts).
Media reports say cars from the thefts are showing up throughout Nebraska, Illinois and a half-dozen other states.
"Are you kidding me?" Matthews told WOWT 6. "How have I owned this vehicle, drove this vehicle for this long, it's been licensed, it's been registered, I have a title, a lease. I'm paying for it. I have car insurance."
Man Walks into Police HQ, Presents Forged Insurance Cards, Gets Arrested
No, the headline "man walks into police HQ" isn't the start of a joke.
But it might as well be one, so here goes:
True story, folks. Man walks into Central Jersey police HQ. Wants his girlfriend's car released (it was in impound for fake plates).
Man gives an officer "two photocopied insurance cards and the vehicle registration," according to Central Jersey police.
Officer verifies all documents as forged. Man arrested. Man faces $2,500 bail.
You can laugh now.

The story is dead
Another week, another book about journalism.
This one - Can We Trust The Media? by Professor Adrian Monck of London's City University.
Anyone interested in British journalism should read it - not because it gives the right answers to its title: it doesn't. But because it asks the right questions. And at least it's been written by someone who's actually worked in a newsroom.
Prof Monck's purpose is unambiguous: "What I aim to do in this book is burst the trust balloon. I want to question just why it is we want to trust the media and lay out why that will never be possible."
Two things: one, he portrays the BBC's promotion of trust to value number one as an act of choice, not the (welcome) inevitability it is for a publicly funded broadcaster. Two (for different reasons and by a different route) he's joined me in diagnosing 'the story' as the malignancy in journalism's sick body.
Journalists want to be trusted, broadly in inverse proportion to the trust in which surveys say they're actually held. But there's a missing proposition in the question normally asked. Trusted to do what? Portray the world as it really is? Not possible - any account of the world can only ever be a subset of all the facts. Trust resides in the journalist's motivation in selecting the facts he/she does and in the realisation of that motivation.
Prof Monck tells us that "trust is not important. Not being trusted never lost anyone a reader or a viewer". And, he adds, it's journalism's job to aggregate facts and "get the entertainment values right". This may well be a description of the current state of journalism: but it's not much of an aspiration for the institution of journalism that - still - plays the defining role in the public sphere.
And it's simply not tenable for a publicly (and more or less universally) funded broadcaster like the BBC to accept Prof Monck's lowest common denominator description without some aspirational pushback. Nor is it possible for the BBC to be in the same game as the commercial press which can, say, choose its facts to suit its readers.
Even if it wanted it - and it doesn't - the BBC can't choose to make its way in the world by mimicking the exhausting diurnal anger of the Mail ('woe that the 1950s are gone') or the hand-wringing of the Guardian/Independent ('woe that global warming/capitalism is taking us to hell in an organic hand-basket').
But the really big thing in Can We Trust The Media? is this: journalism itself isn't the problem. The problem is journalism's fetish - 'the story'. And so it's no bad thing that 'the story' is dead... or dying.
That's an awkward paradox. 'The story' - in the sense that journalists mean it rather than the broader idea of narrative - is the source of all that's great in journalism and all that's vile in it.
On the credit side, you can go from Russell of the Crimea through Hersh of My Lai, Woodstein of Watergate to Peston of Northern Rock. In all of these, 'the story' has been the only way journalism could happen. The only way of handling the information asymmetry, the inevitability that power has information and journalists (on behalf of citizens) have to spanner it out, chunk by chunk.
On the debit side, all those things that make journalists seem untrustworthy. Why this story and not that? Why these facts and not those? The lure of the unusual, the rogue (and unreliable) data? Sensationalism, half-truths, self-fulfilling prophecies.
'The story' can easily become the journalist's way of evading responsibility. 'It's only a story' equals 'I don't need all the facts or even the best selection of them'. 'The story' can be no more than waypoints in a convincing narrative... convincing, so long as the reader looks no further than 'the story'.
Which is why 'the story' is dead. The people we journalists used to tell our 'stories' to, with a 'trust me' wink, now routinely look beyond 'the story'. And we help them. Websites like the BBC News website are built on the basis that users will look out their own subset of facts, context and background.
More than that, news websites blur the distinction (a distinction that was only ever really relevant to journalists) between 'news' and 'information' while news aggregators make no assumptions about any individual's news agenda in the way that 'the story' has to.
In other words, the process of selection that used to be the province of the journalist - the process we used to call 'storytelling' - is now the province of each member of our audiences. Good.
This is where Prof Monck and I are in total agreement. He doesn't quite put it this way - but the death of 'the story' is part of the answer to the trust conundrum. Now journalists can get on with increasing the access of the people formerly known as the audience to the information they need and in the way they need it.
And that hand journalists once used to polish 'the story' can instead be held out to guide readers, listeners and viewers through their selection of facts, context and background and not ours.

You guys make it so hard to do something so simple.
Just tell the truth,
So when a Washington Madam 'suicides', after she has said repeatedly that this is what will happen to her. report it. It is very relevant to the story and her belief was so strong that she had even written to a judge, I believe, stating her fears.
When People turn up at your office door with a D-Notice, quit your job and tell us all why.
i accept i have never worked in a newsroom so will have no understanding of the process and the responsibilities.
But as i say it seems simple, if you tell the truth, people will trust you.
Had you talked about the credit crunch before it happened then folks would trust that you informed them well. Instead you pretend that this has come from nowhere, like it was a big surprise.
You will now do the same with the food crisis, Its been building for months and months, The Un have been talking about it, the CFR, the Trilateral commission. Yet again it is all a big surprise when it happens.
At least your admitting that journalists are personally responsible, I suppose its a start, now if you can all have a 'speak the truth or not at all' approach we might go some way to mending the damage of the last few years.

Monck is wrong when he says that no one's ever lost a reader/viewer by not being trusted. In the late 60s, the US weekly TIME magazine did a story about the Albany State University in New York's capital, at which my mother was studying at the time. Apparently, TIME ran a graphic with the layout of the university in which some buildings were mislabelled. Ever since then, my mother has refused to read the magazine. When I asked her why, her response was simple. "If they screw up the things I know, how can I trust them when they tell me things I don't know?" This shows how sloppiness even on minor details can affect people's trust... and their willingness to be a reader/viewer.

Unbelievable. After the disgraceful performance we have seen from the BBC in recent days, spinning like crazy for Livingstone and spewing the most disgusting bile against Johnson, you have the nerve to talk about trust?
Get with the story: the majority of Brits have no trust whatsoever left in BBC news truthfulness, after the ongoing distortions and thew cozying up to Labour over years. Let alone the BBC's huge bias against Israel.

It's all well and good to say that people have access to more information, can do deeper research - but that ignores the fact 90% of sheeple can't be bothered to look beyond the leader and the first few paragraphs of any story.
They really can't.
The world has become instant gratification. Research involves thinking, and that's become too much of a chore for most.
I'd go so far as to say that media organizations know this is the case, and that's why stories are more about soundbites than substance.
They (you?) are catering to an increasingly lazy and jaundiced audience, for whom anything beyond the superficial is anathema - better to keep them entertained than informed, because they *want* entertainment, not information.
Monck is wrong when he says trust is not important - trust is inextricably bound to integrity.
If the BBC didn't have a reputation for integrity, people wouldn't have trusted it about Dr Kelly (and that was the reason why the BBC had to be editorially and organizationally lobotomized to finally remove a thorn in the side of secrecy)
The BBC being publicly funded actually should promote integrity and responsible reporting - everyone is "paying" for it, so you have to find the right balance to try to assuage the needs of the widest possible audience.
In theory.
If the trust of a their audience is not important to a journalist, then neither is their integrity - they might as well go work for News Corp.

I find it no suprise that you mention the death of Dr. Kelly, for me this was the turning point for the BBC.
For me, that was the point when the state said no more and any notion of impartiality was finally removed from editorial decisions.
They came for the journalists and nobody noticed

You just have to look around you and see how biased the BBC is, and that is where one would expect the best to come form. I have little trust in journalists and get information from a variety of sources so that I feel I have some idea what is going on. The BBC lost their reputation long ago for being able to produce trustworthy data. They are simply the Brown Broadcasting Corporation. I do not really mind an organisation having a view, but in this instance I do, as it is my money they are using.
Comment number 8.At 01:31 5th May 2008, tkbutt wrote:
The reason why it is called a "media" is that the audience obtains their information indirectly through a third-party layer. The accuracy of this information received by the audience depends totally on transparency of this layer. Like a pair of prescribed spectacles, the media is often the only way people perceive the world they would otherwise have no access to, not realising that it does not necessarily represent the whole truth.
These days we are seeing this layer becoming more and more opague through sensationalised reporting and the liberal use of emotive words such as "crackdown", "insurgency", "catastrophe", "crisis", etc. How about leaving colorful labels alone and going back to the basic by reporting an issue as is? The audience is supposed to sift through neutral objective information then make up their own minds on the issue.
I remember not long ago the warriors in Afghanistan were referred to by the press as "freedom fighters". Now they are nothing more than "terrorists". This causes people's opinion toward these people to change from one extreme to another, even though the individual nature of these warriors have not changed.
If the audience's minds are already being made up by emotive, coercive reporting then this would be called "propaganda" or "brainwashing".

If the quality of the BBC's output is so great why do your reporters continue to use the phrase 'Greater London Assembly'?
As I've explained to BBC news editors many times London's Government is the Greater London Authority which includes the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
There is no entity called 'Greater London Assembly' outside of poorly researched news items.

The comments left on this blog entry sum up the problems faced by journalists.
If someone reads a story that isn't exactly parallel with their view of the world, the journalist/newspaper/website etc is instantly branded as biased, lazy or just corrupt.
The real problem faced by journalism is the number of readers who are too quick to condemn without actually considering why something has been written in such a manner.
Perhaps, just perhaps, it is not the journalist who is wildly biased (or worse) but you.

Prior to the Kelly affair I thought the beeb did a fair job with its news - you can't please all the people all the time but at least have a stab at it .
The change in attitude since then is quite remarkable - the government seems to be skirted round now - no incisive journalism there. Even HYS censors heavily in favour of Blair.
Following on from this - slowly but surely - the news slots seem to have been dumbed down - yes really . Before there used to be an attempt to inform the viewer but what we have now is tabloids on the tele. No in depth items just sound bites - shallow items shallowly presented.
Society gets the journalists it deserves.

I am afraid that the BBC appears to be behaving little better than Orwell's "Ministry of Truth".
There is detailed controversy over minutiae with politicians and precious little over matters of life and death.
Example of Ministry of Truth behaviours: changing the news: the bbc reported changing wikipedia pages (as reported in the Independent)
- Avoiding issues - why no detailed analysis of 9/11 - are we happy with what the politicians said on the day, on the hour, of attacks?
- Reporting "officially- source" news sources only - why accept the view the DC Madam committed suicide when clearly this seems like political assassination? And Michael Todd's death - what really happened there? Death by self-inflicted text messaging?!
- Involvement in PysOps - accepting news stories from the secret services (or Police forces) without chcking whether they are right or wrong (eg Ian Blair's terrorist threat analysis story which was corrected (on the backpages) shortly after it was headline news)
So, you tell me: can we trust the media?

I don't see any particular agenda or bias in the BBC News reporting, I broadly trust it's news agenda.
However the thesis that you outline that the "story is dead" is clearly absurd. Of course the story is alive and well, of course good journalists try to place facts into a framework which explains causality and analyses the meaning and import of the events.
Sure, people may disagree with the journalists story, may amend it or write their own, based on independent investigation of the facts, but extrapolating that to suggest this means there is no story, is just very very silly.

Is your second sentence actually true? Do not most people choose to limit their absorption of news and current affairs to headlines and 10-second summaries? Ought not therefore the principal requirement of news bulletins to be that they are put together in a way that is unquestionably neutral, balanced and free from presupposition? How can it be correct to use the completeness of the small print to sanitise undisclosed editorial slant in the summary?

Assuming Mr Marsh is reading these comments, I wonder if he'd like to risk breaking the taboo against criticizing peers and comment about this timely piece of really bad fact checking.
The Independent reported on the argument by the inhabitants of the ancient greek isle of Lesbos against a greek lesbian group.
At the end, they include the statement:
Now, an on-line lesbian magazine called The Register
The Register, as most know, is an IT news source - it only ran an article about the argument over the name.
The Independent has since corrected this, presumably after The Register posted about the mistake and regular readers posted comments in our ... umm ... special way :)
But I'm curious - how do glaring mistakes like the one The Independent made fit in with your article about the story being "dead", and Monck's assertion that trust is not important?
Comment number 16.At 15:07 7th May 2008, Nobody wrote:
To be "trustworthy" I would deem it more important that the mediator had authority in the field they reported.
Admittedly, I'm in danger of sounding like an intellectual elitist here, but I get the distinct impression that Media and Journalism as an academic field of study doesn't really warrant a great deal of analytical prowess.
Academics of Economics, Politics and the Arts who write in the media are clearly more qualified to comment on their field than the mundane who graduated in Media and Journalism. And sometimes (or "most of the time" when I read reports about issues in Science, Medicine and Engineering) I wish the journalist had a true grasp of the topic rather than just consulting with experts and dumbing it down to their level.
So, from my own personal position: in order to have any degree of "trust" in the media's reporting and commentary of events, I have to believe that there is some authority in the position of the speakers and writers who draw up the agenda and pass commentary.
Even if they run contrary up my own world view, I believe this "trust" is paramount to the mediation being a constructive and informative exercise - rather than an attempt to pander to the masses in a cynical ploy to feed the advertisers with an audience rife with dupes.

This week, we had our first real storm of the season, or, in polie-talk, a blow. Storms here don't really include any sort of precipitation, and so are limited to just wind. This wasn't a "good blow", when the winds get up to 40-50 knots, but simply a blow, with winds peaking around half that. Enough snow was kicked up and tossed about to severely limit visibility, blot out most sun, moon and star light, and fairly quickly lead to a whiteout (though blackout would be a more accurate term).
Earlier this week, some work was being done down in the power plant, necessitating a power conservation day. All non-critical computers, lights, heat and other equipment was turned off, and the station went into a sort of hibernation. Everyone was still working, but it was much quieter and darker than usual, and the whole day had a sleepy middle-of-the-night feel to it. When I got to Science (the lab space reserved for science people), the lights were out, it was pitch black, and in a corner someone was playing a harmonica. Certainly a new way to start my day.
That same day, people started spotting the first stars in the sky. The sun officially set almost two weeks ago, but a distinct glow still migrates daily around the horizon. Every day it gets fainter, and every day we can make out more and more of the night sky. In another couple of weeks, the whole Milky Way should appear, and the auroras will begin.
For the time being, though, there's still plenty of light outside, and on a clear day it's easy to forget that it's nighttime at pole.
With sunset now well behind us, the station has begun battening down the hatches for winter. Because of the light-sensitive nature of some of the science projects going on down here, no stray light is permitted from buildings - all windows need to be blacked out by Monday. Only half of them are done, and out of the remaining half spills a warm and friendly glow. I'm going to miss that glow - it makes things here feel quite cozy.
Behind DSL, the frozen ocean is more beautiful than ever, glowing an ethereal, almost electric blue. The commute to work continues to be a pleasure, now filled with serene, timeless scenery the entire way.

At NG GyneHealth, the wellbeing and comfort of our patients is our priority, with a firm focus on patient outcomes and best practice.
In addition to being Australian qualified Specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, both our Doctors have formal advanced ultrasound qualifications from the Australian Society of Ultrasound Medicine. This, coupled with state of the art Ultrasound machines incuding the 3D - 4D technology, means we can offer our obstetric, gynaecology and fertility patients a virtual one-stop-shop to medical examination and treatment. This gives us the opportunity to discuss with patients their results and treatment options immediately.
Dr Gaunekar has a particular interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery (key hole surgery), fertility medicine and high risk pregnancy. Most surgeries are performed without making big cuts on the abdomen, including big ovarian tumours, endometriosis and Laparoscopic Hysterectomies.
One of Dr Rodrigues' sub-speciality areas is Urogynaecology, which focuses on the treatment and care of women suffering from prolapse and incontinence. The impact of incontinence can be greatly lessened and the quality of life improved with up-to-date treatments and procedures offered at our clinic.
Our approach to fertility medicine is very methodical. We look closely at the symptoms, find the cause and then develop a treatment plan which suits the individual couple. IVF is certainly one available option, but there are a variety of alternatives to explore before IVF. We offer a full range of options including IVF to our patients tailored for their condition. We know that issues with fertility are very sensitive and once again we work closely with the couple to plan for the most positive outcome. Costs are a big consideration and we are sensitive to this. We pride ourselves on delivering very cost effective options in the fertility world.
Dr Gaunekar and Dr Rodrigues have a keen interest in fertility medicine and are associates of the Queensland Fertility Group, which is part of the wider Virtus health family, representing one of the worlds largest fertility groups.
Dr Gaunekar has represented Australia as the Shan S Ratnam Young Gynaecologist Award winner for 2007 at the Asia and Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (AOFOG) Congress in Tokyo.
