This past Friday, my little brother (who I admit is a fully grown adult) got engaged to an amazing woman whom I'm excited to call my future sister! Apparently, the two have a shared fondness for the Empire State Building (though they live in D.C.) and so, like any good rom com, my brother proposed at the top around midnight. It was a magical evening filled with delicious food and birthday surprises (thanks to Park Avenue Summer) and of course, lots of love.
Mike and I had never been to the top before, so it was the perfect opportunity to tag along, get some great snaps, and take in the views (as well as the lines and annoying tourists -- seriously, if you can't go there on a 110 degree day at 12:30 a.m., when CAN you go?!)
The following day, my brother and his fiancé (ahhh, so crazy!) joined me and Mike in Brooklyn for what was going to be a day of walking and shopping but turned into a day of eating and drinking. With temperatures reaching 108, there were really no other options. We hit up a few local breweries, a game place Boca bubbies would love, and some delicious restaurants (of course).
I hope that the happy couple had as much fun as I did!
Pro tip: Get Empire State Building tickets in advance!

Tekes's need to reform
Tekes is a Finnish funding agency for innovation and technology. Tekes has an ongoing Lean User Experience project, also known as LUX, which aims to improve the customer experience using lean processes. The procedures in Tekes have become more complex, which has sparked a need to reform. The goal is to make the whole organization more agile.
As a part of the LUX project, a Kanban pilot was ordered from Codento for Tekes's IT Department. Kanban is an agile method for work management with an emphasis on work visualization, with smooth and continuous workflows. Task boards are used to help team members see the outstanding tasks.
The purpose of the pilot was to test whether the Kanban method is suitable for Tekes. Two continuous development teams from the same service portfolio were chosen to take part in the pilot.
Kanban proved to be a great method for Tekes. "The teams that participated in the pilot had a positive experience of it," explained Harri Eskola, Tekes's IT Department Manager. "Through the LUX project, we were also piloting Kanban for the whole organization. The pilot has stirred up quite a bit of excitement here in Tekes," he continued.
Towards change with workshops
Eskola decided to order the pilot from Codento based on earlier, positive experiences of being coached by Codento in agile methodologies. The Kanban pilot was facilitated by Karoliina Luoto and Codento Certified Partner Antti Kirjavainen from Flowa. The pilot started with a workshop, where our consultants revisited the rules of Kanban with the team members and agreed on what would be included in the pilot.
In the following workshops, the focus was on building the actual boards that are typical for Kanban. These helped the team members to visualize their tasks. The team members searched all of the open tasks with the help of Luoto and Kirjavainen. They then decided how to label each task and put it on a board.
"It was so great to see the obvious, tremendous enthusiasm in the teams when these vague tasks that were all over the place suddenly became concrete, colorful labels on a physical board," Karoliina Luoto, Codento's Senior Consultant, said of the feeling about the first workshops.
Next, there were a couple of operations review workshops where the consultants analyzed with the team members how the choices made in the earlier workshops were working and what needed to be developed further. At the end of the pilot, the teams summarized what they had learned. They also introduced the pilot's outcome to the rest of Tekes's IT team.
"It seems to me that the pilot made the team members feel better and brought joy to their work. It was fun to realize how easily I could help them a lot as a coach," Luoto smiled.
"For me this has been an interesting and inspiring project. It has been easy to talk about it to others in an inspiring way, as well. With this pilot we created a new, sensible way to operate," said Eskola.
The right coach in the right place
There had been an attempt to start a Kanban pilot earlier at Tekes but the staff at Tekes could not match their schedules with that of the previous consultant. Tekes was able to cooperate easily with Codento. "I sought the opinions of our team members, and they were very happy with the pilot. They also felt that Luoto was able to inspire them and was just the right coach for this project," Escola explained. So, finally, would Eskola recommend Codento to his colleagues? "For coaching on agile methodologies, yes."

I do like that merge of words though - QiZen (or maybe I should spell it ChiZen). Qi can be translated as breath, air or gas (which we know M has a lot of the latter). And Zen is absorbtion or meditative state.
So I could have:
breath absorbtion
breath meditation
air absorbtion
gas absorbtion (which is deathly with M sometimes).
I like that - breath absorbtion or breath meditation. We all need to breathe. This reminds me of Drew Barrymore in Ever After at the ball scene. She runs in to see Henry and as she stops at the top of the stairs she says, "Breathe. Just breathe."
I think I forget that sometimes. Not just to breathe but the importance of taking the break - stepping back and taking it all in. Last week was a long work week, full of high intensity, stressful decision making adventures, and dealing with folks who only work weekends - catching them up on what needs to be done. On top of that we're dealing with some stressful issues at work - deaths, folks who need mental help (not just me), people retiring so job shifting will soon occur, etc.
So M saying I need to find my QiZen is right on target. I need to find time to breathe. I need to find time for honest-to-goodness breath absorbtion.

The only difference is that now a person, regardless of his desire, is forced to perform certain duties not by force, not by violence, but by various other methods and tricks. How exactly, you ask. That is how those who adhere to this point of view explain it.
Firstly, the modern "slave" has only enough wages for a month. Peoples should pay to house, buy food, clothes, cover travel expenses, and so he has to work all his life.
Secondly, artificial demand for unnecessary goods by means of television advertising, fashion and other methods of influence is a method of the hidden motivation of "slaves" to work. He has no other option in order to buy a "new" thing besides work.
Thirdly, the modern "slave" comes across the tricks of the loan system. In order to close one loan, he is forced to take another. Ultimately, because of the mechanism of interest rates, he does not get out of debt all his life. You have to work again to get rid of them.
Fourthly, the popular legend in the world about the state, equally concerned with the interests of all population groups, is also a way to attract modern "slaves" to work. In fact, it only works on a structure that protects the interests of "slaveholders". Moreover, the money earned by the "slave" is again withdrawn from him in the form of payment for various purchased goods and services, taxes and payments and again fall into the pocket of the "slaveholder".
The fifth kind of hidden compulsion of a "slave" to work is inflation and recurring crises. And here the "slave" loses much more than the "slaveholder". The rise in prices in the absence of wage growth creates convenient conditions for the hidden robbery of the "slave". In times of crisis, that can manifest itself in an open forum. During massive workplace cuts, the "slave is fired from his or her company and deprived of all income which makes him even poorer.
In order to force the "slave" to work for free, one should hide information about the specific value of his labor and the products produced by him, as well as about the share of the "slaveowner". For this reason, the income of the "slave" will remain invariably low, and he will have to continue to work continuously.
Another way of implicit compulsion of a "slave" to work is an ideology that convinces him that he is not a slave, and works insofar as he himself wants it. "This is your choice!" - such a concept is formed in his mind.
One of the mechanisms by which a "slave" will become carelessly working is religion. She teaches patiently to bear the difficulties that have fallen to his lot, preaches that he who works hard in the sweat, experiencing hardship, will live justly and humanely in the next world.
In connection with such circumstances, a person works all his life. Probably, it would be appropriate to cite one rather typical example related to this point of view. It is a cell phone. People obsessed with the desire to have a cell phone that is neither clothing nor food. If it is worthwhile to appear a new model, we trying to get the novelty. In addition, they are not cheap. This behavior demonstrates the obvious dependence of a person on a cell phone. So what is this, if not slavery?

by Jarrod Tallman
In his essay "Prometheus in The Underworld," Camus asks the question, What does Prometheus mean to man today? Written in 1946, at the end of World War II, on the declining cusp of the Modern era, Camus glosses over the more obvious connection that positions the "God-defying rebel" as a model culminating with the then contemporary man. Instead, Camus suggests that Prometheus's "long stubbornness has more meaning for us than his revolt against the gods" (Lyrical, 142). What is this stubbornness?
World War II revealed the gruesome magnitude of human suffering endured around the world. How could art continue to be made in the name of beauty amidst such suffering? "Prometheus was the hero who loved men enough to give them fire and liberty, technology and art" (Lyrical, 138-9), but liberty became a luxury with so much suffering, and the practical value of Prometheus's gift of fire took precedence. "Today mankind needs and cares only for technology. We rebel through our machines, holding art and what art implies as an obstacle and a symbol of slavery" (Lyrical, 139). This statement appears to be the way in which Camus views the general response to the historical imperative. Although, it should be clear that Camus doesn't disagree with the primacy of the need to help those who are suffering, it might be noted that the plural "we" is perhaps more of a term that implicitly links Camus to "mankind" rather than an indicator of his own feelings regarding the value of Prometheus's gifts of technology and art. This is made more clear in the following two sentences, when Camus begins to share his sympathies with Prometheus: "But what characterizes Prometheus is that he cannot separate machines from art. He believes that both souls and bodies can be freed at the same time" (Lyrical, 139). It is in the remainder of this paragraph and the next that we get a sense of the deep sadness Camus feels about the loss of beauty and the then necessary societal move away from an art that feeds the soul. Camus also begins to reveal an unsettling feeling about the uncompromising fervor in which this abandonment of beauty occurs. "Indeed, if Prometheus were to reappear, modern man would treat him as the gods did long ago; they would nail him to a rock in the name of the very humanism he was the first to symbolize" (Lyrical, 132). Camus knows what must be done, he has been doing it, profoundly committed to the revolution during the war and forever concerned with easing the suffering of fellow humans; but in a collective period of darkness he feels a painful nostalgia for the light of beauty: "Does this nostalgia still mean something to some men" (Lyrical, 139)?
The metaphor for an art that feeds the soul then shifts from Prometheus's liberty to one of olive branches, grapes and heather. "And we too, for all our youthful blood, sunk as we are in this terrible old age of this last century, sometimes miss the grass that has always grown, the olive leaf that we'll no longer go to look at just to see it, and the grapes of liberty" (Lyrical, 140). But Camus is not just reminiscing about the good ole days. Nor is he criticizing the priority of putting one's energy into feeding the bodies of those who are hungry. But he is genuinely concerned with what he foresees as an ever-increasing distance between humanity and a necessary soul-feeding art. "History is a sterile earth where heather does not grow. Yet men today have chosen history, and they neither could nor should turn away from it. But instead of mastering it, they agree a little more each day to be its slave" (Lyrical, 140). It seems that for Camus, this act of bending to the historical imperative marks a regression of humanity, a transgression against Prometheus. The wretched humans that the titan loved so much have turned their backs on him, they have chosen instead to work in cahoots with Zeus's servants: Force and Violence.
But again, Camus does not reject the need for Prometheus's fire, for technology, for feeding the bodies of the suffering. "Attica, liberty, and grape-gathering, the bread of the soul, must come later. What can we do about this but cry to ourselves: 'They will never exist any more, or they will exist for others' and do what must be done so that others at least do not go begging. We who feel this so painfully, and yet who try to accept it without bitterness, are we lagging behind, or are we forging ahead, and will we have the strength to make the heather grow again" (Lyrical, 140-1)? Camus is certainly saddened by the disappearing importance of beauty, deeply concerned about whether it will be temporary or permanent. And it is to Prometheus that Camus turns for the answer: "'I promise you, O mortals, both improvement and repair, if you are skillful, virtuous and strong enough to achieve them with your own hands.' If, then, it is true that salvation lies in our own hands, I will answer Yes to the question of the century…" (Lyrical, 141). And it is in this answer that Camus seems to find the strength, the stubbornness to continue, like his hero, bearing the torment in the name of love and humanity. Camus writes: "And Hermes mocks the hero: "I am amazed that, being a God, you did not foresee the torment you are suffering." "I did see it," replies the rebel."
The aesthetic and political pulls on Camus are far more nuanced than this short essay can reveal, but what we get here is a deep and personal insight into an attempt to reconcile a conflict between them. There is little doubt that––in 1946, at least––his reverence for an art that feeds the soul and his loving commitment to humankind were as deep and borderless as the oceans he so often longed for.

Some plants prefer alkaline soil and some prefer acidic soil. Gardeners don't have to force their soil to be overly acidic or alkaline, as there are many plants that will tolerate and thrive in one or the other. Gardeners that have naturally acidic soil are in for a treat, as many beautiful flowering plants flourish in rich acidic soil.
Sweet Pepperbush
Sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), also called Summersweet, is a deciduous shrub that bursts into bloom in mid to late summer with eye catching white blooms. The blooms have a strong, sweet fragrance that attracts butterflies and bees. Reaching heights of 3 feet and above, sweet pepperbush is often used as a border plant or as an overgrown hedge. Sweet pepperbush grows the best in full sun or partial shade, in average or acidic soils. Soil should be moist but not sopping wet. In the fall, the green leaves of the sweet pepperbush turn a beautiful golden yellow.
Ixora coccinea
Native to tropical Southeast Asia, Ixora coccinea is an evergreen shrub that's commonly grown in warm regions of the United States. Cherished for its rich green foliage and creamy yellow blooms, Ixora coccinea is a popular ornamental plant that reaches heights of between 4 and 6 feet. The plant thrives in acidic soil and should be fertilized with high nitrogen fertilizer. Ixora coccinea will do best with full sun during the morning and a little shade in the hot afternoon.
Chapman's Rhododendron
Chapman's rhododendron (Rhododendron chapmanii) is an evergreen shrub that's native exclusively to Florida. Reaching a maximum height of about 10 feet, the medium-sized shrub has attractive deep green foliage and clusters of pinkish white tubular blooms. Chapman's rhododendron, like most species of rhododendron, thrives in acidic soil. The soil should be moist but not soggy. Ideally, the plant prefers filtered sunlight or partial shade.

Questia - The Online Library of Books and Journals
The Collection
Building the Questia Collection
The Questia collection is designed to support undergraduate study in the humanities and social sciences. The titles selected are a reflection of the philosophy that new scholars benefit greatly from convenient access to a moderately-sized collection of enduring intellectual value. The collection is not intended to provide comprehensive support for all types of research. Our goal is to develop a collection that provides substantial coverage of high quality information for most post-secondary core curriculum course assignments as well as provide the opportunity for learners of all ages to grow intellectually and explore the world around them.
Selection Criteria
Titles are selected by professional librarians with years of experience in collection and access issues. Subject coverage is continually reviewed using a mixture of traditional and innovative techniques. Criteria for shaping the collection includes identifying notable books, widely-cited titles, widely-held titles, recommendations from faculty and librarians, titles from reputable commercial and academic presses, citation analysis, etc. Standard review sources as well as specially designed selection services are used. Titles selected are primarily English-language titles. Depth of coverage within a discipline varies according to the needs of the Questia users.
Factors considered in individual title selection include:
Authority, including accuracy of content and qualifications of the authors/publishers of the work
Scope, including currency and depth of coverage
Treatment, including usefulness to a diverse audience and balance of viewpoints presented
Intellectual freedom is an important tenet of collection management. Questia fully supports the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights and The Freedom to Read statement.
Preservation and Access
Material included in the Questia collection is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Content is archived in adherence with best practices for long-term retention of digital research resources.

Aunt Elva turned 95 today. We were suppose to go to a surprise birthday Tea being held in her honour, but Nat made some silly, god-awful mistakes of giving me the odd kiss now and again and because I've had a cold, voila, he caught it in no time at all. What were the odds, eh???? So as luck would have it and because dear Aunt Elva is in a Seniors' home that kind of frowns on visitors with cold and flu symptoms, we were unable to attend the party. I was disappointed only because my father's side of the family is dwindling down to one Uncle and two Aunts from the good old days of 4 Uncles, 4 Aunts and numerous cousins. There are now fewer and fewer chances of seeing them and our cousins – we all live so far apart from one another. It has now come down to get togethers at milestone birthdays, a possible reunion, and the inevitable funeral. Hell, even little brother lives in the wilds of Northern Ontario and we hardly see him anymore. Gonna have to shake some trees now and again to see if he'll fall out!!!
I hope everyone had a great time and as I'm posting this I can only presume they are headed down the highway and home. Being close to a 3 hour drive I'm assuming they'll stop for supper somewhere along the route – what with GPS systems mounted on each dashboard I'm sure someone will press that "Food" button to see what pops up on the old monitor!!!
While the party revelers were doing their thing, Nat and I stayed close to if not downright "in" home. We only ventured out to test drive our new little GPS system and headed over to the Picard Peanut Shop in Fonthill to get some nuts for Xmas Eve!! Get it?? Since the party's at my place this year, I figured we should try something new and different for the nibbly table. We bought the usual roasted peanuts, but also managed to pick up some chocolate-covered cashews (yum, yum), some BBQ peanuts (Nat sampled the "Samples" and said they were delicious) and picked up one or two small packages of something for ourselves!! It was a rainy, drizzly day but we knew we had to jump ship just for an hour to air the cobwebs, and we had a good time to boot.
Despite the fact that we went to a Rural Route address which the GPS doesn't recognize and there are some new on and off ramps on Highway 20 that haven't been updated on the mapping system, it worked pretty good. It was a good chance for the two of us to see what it does, how it works and exactly what to expect. We were more than pleased. I'll get Nat to be a "techy nerd" in no time!!
With our bag load of peanuts, we headed home and cooked a juicy, tender turkey breast, a new recipe of buttery crunchy roasted potatos with Nat's infamous gravy for supper. It was just nice!!
I've also finished my Christmas wrapping, so I expect to have withdrawal symptoms in a week or two. I had one unboxed gift that couldn't be wrapped so I made a big huge bow from some Scottish tartan ribbon and our granddaughter should be tickled with the gift (and hopefully, the bow!!).
No word yet from our tree trimmer, so hopefully he'll call tomorrow and it'll be Timbrrrrrrr on Tuesday!!!!

To All ōSignificant Othersö
My name is Frank Thompson and I am the Webmaster of this site. Barbara Thompson is my lovely wife. I want to talk to all the husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, boyfriends, girlfriends or any other ōsignificant other.ö If your loved one has asked you to read this section, congratulations on doing so. I have gone through, and survived, what you are probably experiencing now and know that I can offer some words that will help you to deal with it.
About two years ago, our family doctor recommended that my wife see a nutritionist about her weight. The nutritionist suggested several plans for her to lose weight, most of which were the standard: more exercise, better eating habits, identifying why people eat emotionally, and taking prescribed weight loss medication. One of the suggestions, however, was for her to have weight loss surgery. I was shocked. How could this man come up with this? Does he really know what he is talking about?
My reactions then, were probably the same as your reactions now. I know what most every one of you was thinking when your loved one told you that he or she was considering weight loss surgery. I can hear your thoughts and your words now as I am writing this.
ōThis is a major operation!ö
ōYou are perfectly healthy!ö
ōYou could die!!ö
ōWhat about the family?ö
ōWhat about just one more diet?ö
ōYou are not THAT overweight!ö
ōHow can they say that you are morbidly obese?ö
ōWhy do something that will change your life forever?ö
I could go on and on. How do I know what went through your mind? I know because I had the very same thoughts and emotions. I think that anyone who finds out that their loved one is ōvolunteeringö to undergo such a serious operation is naturally concerned about the consequences of such a drastic procedure. I use the word ōvolunteeringö because at that time, I did not fully understand the ōneedö for the operation. I was worried about how this operation would change her life. I was worried about how she would feel when we would go out to dinner with friends or when she attended a work related function that was centered around food. I was worried about the fact that some surgeon was going to literally change her insides. Cut some parts here. Reconnect some parts there. This surgeon was actually going to re-route my wifeÆs intestines to places that God never thought about. I was horrified. I was scared. I was speechless. And with all my worry for how this would change my wifeÆs life, I also wondered how this would change my own life and our family. How could I eat in front of her without making her feel bad about not being able to eat more? How could we go out for dinner and a movie? How would I go on if she had complications and died? It is amazing how many thoughts go through your head when you are panicking about the health of your loved one.
After I got over the initial shock, I was able to think a little more rationally and talked over the options with Barbara. After hearing what she had to say, I still could not accept the fact that she needed such a serious procedure. After much discussion, I talked her into trying another diet. I would help. I would go on a diet with her. I would do anything to avoid the operation. Being the wonderful person she is, she agreed to try one more time. She went on another diet and watched what she ate. She went to nutrition classes. She exercised. She did all the things that the nutritionist originally suggested except for the surgery. She did lose weight but she was not happy and was in constant pain from her back. This is when I started to learn about something called ōCo-morbidities.ö
Many times when people are overweight, there are usually other problems happening now or problems that will develop in the future. Barbara was in a car accident many years ago and has had back pain ever since. The increased weight on her body was not allowing her to live life without pain. Some days the pain was less. Some days the pain was more severe. But there was always pain. This additional problem that is associated with the weight is called co-morbidity. Being overweight makes a person vulnerable to many other problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and something called sleep apnea, when the person actually stops breathing when they sleep. Barbara didnÆt have any of these other problems then, but being overweight made her a prime candidate for developing these problems in the future.
Another problem that is not classed as co-morbidity is ōquality of life.ö Barbara was not happy about her weight problem and the ever-present back pain. She missed going shopping with our daughter, Erin, because she could only walk for a short time at the malls. She felt bad that she could never fit into the slinky outfits that she wore many years ago. She loves playing golf, but her back would be screaming at her after playing only nine holes. Playing 18 holes of golf was absolutely out of the question. She was taking prescribed and over-the-counter pain medication, going to a chiropractor several times a week, and even got treated several times at a pain center at a local hospital. She was told that the treatments would give her some temporary relief but would not cure her problem, as long as she was heavy.
The turning point for me to accept weight loss surgery was one day when I found Barbara in the kitchen and in especially great pain. She was crying and sitting in a chair with her head hanging low. She looked up at me with her beautiful blue eyes that were now red and full of tears, and said that she was tired of being in pain all the time and wanted to go ahead with the surgery. My heart melted. I looked her in the eyes and I knew in that moment that we were about to take a new direction in our lives. I could not continue to see the person I love most in this world, in so much pain and I could see that weight loss surgery was the only way to ever find an end to her misery.
Barbara had the pain, but your loved one may only be overweight. My use of the word ōonlyÆ should not be taken as an indication that there is not a grave problem. To be considered for weight loss surgery, the patent is normally 100 pounds or more over their ideal weight. We have a cat and buy kitty litter in 33 pound containers. To get a full appreciation of what an extra 100 pounds feels like, try strapping three of those containers to your belt. Now spend a couple of hours trying to live your life. I would not be surprised if you gave up after only a few minutes.
As the years go by and the person you love gets heavier and heavier, (which is typically what happens), co-morbidities will surely develop. At some point, you and your loved one will be faced with the horrendous fact that the weight will never come off with conventional means, and the quality of life will deteriorate to the point that there will be a spiral down hill to early death. With every passing day you will notice only small changes and think that there is not a big problem. But things will be slowly getting worse until one day there will be a terrible disaster. It is absolutely critical that something be done to manage the weight problem and it must be done now. Any further delay will only add to your loved oneÆs misery and mounting health problems.
weight loss surgery has been recommended to your loved one, I urge you
from the bottom of my heart, to open your mind to the seriousness of the
problem. Make an effort to
educate yourself about all aspects of the surgery.
Keep in mind that your loved one is in physical and emotional
misery and desperately needs your help.

a greek holiday: postcards from mykonos townPublished August 27, 2009 Architecture , Europe , Flora , Food , Greece , Louis Vuitton , Photography , Travel 14 Comments
The heart and soul of the island, pedestrianized Mykonos Town is a beehive of activity where the world comes together to sample Greek dishes in the many tavernas and topnotch restaurants, to shop local wares as well as luxury timepieces and fine jewelry, to appreciate and acquire art from the galleries, and when the night falls party like there's no tomorrow.
Mykonos Town has a myriad of tiny and charming alleyways. In every corner you turn, you'll find a sight that's postcard pretty. Bursts of color, from potted plants to bougainvilleas lazily hanging from balconies, appear among whitewashed houses. Following the breeze, you'll find yourself in one of the island's main tourist attractions – be it the famous windmills, Little Venice situated dramatically on the edge of the sea, the Paraportiani church with its insurmountable shape and structure, or the friendly town mascot Petros the Pelican spreading its wings at the Old Port.
Here are my postcards from Mykonos Town.
I hope you'll find yourself here one day, too.

Do I love these Fall/Winter 09 jackets or what?
I LVoe!
some kind of mono: bequia, bordeauxPublished August 24, 2009 Fashion , Louis Vuitton , Photography , Shopping 33 Comments
I've been obsessing about LE bags from Louis Vuitton – especially those from past seasons that are extremely difficult to come by. I snagged myself a Tanger Sac Plat from Spring/Summer 2005 five months ago, and through incessant net crawling the last few weeks and an intense bidding for a bag the second time around, I won my latest LE acquisition.
Do you remember this?
First appearing on the Parisian runway in January 2007 and in stores thereafter, the Monogram Bequia Porte Document Vertical (PDV) was one striking piece of show bag. I saw it in person for the first time back in February (surprisingly!) on a trip to Berlin, considered buying it but decided on the Cabas Naxos.
And then last Saturday, mine in Bordeaux came in the mail!
This bag is brimming with killer details – the multi-colored and multi-layered bequia leather, the woven zipper pull, the detachable leather strap, the expandable sides, the interior metal plate, the sturdy golden hardware, the striped lining and the comfortable rolled handles. The handheld and cross-body options (something lacking in my Damier Graphite Ieoh) are also a big plus.
Someone got (trigger) happy. Lol.
I LVoe!
a greek holiday: postcards from the beaches of mykonosPublished August 22, 2009 Boys! , Europe , Greece , Louis Vuitton , Photography , Travel 15 Comments
People from four corners of the world come to the island of Mykonos for its incredible, long sandy beaches and enjoy the crystal clear waters and brilliant sunshine. But no one told us that Mykonos is also a cradle of winds. It was therefore essential to check how the wind was blowing every day as a trip to the beach could be quite uncomfortable with towels flailing and sand getting onto your face.
First, an impression. The waters of Mykonos beaches are outstandingly warm and are in the most attractive shades of deep blue, turquoise, and lapis. It is truly quite a breathtaking sight to see or swim in.
Well, most of the days was windy so we only managed to visit two beaches. While Mykonos is known for its Paradise Beach, and as if that wasn't enough, the ultra hot gay beach Super Paradise, we opted for more toned-down choices. One could reach the beaches via networks of private-run buses or by way of the sea with a taxi boat. If you have extra money to spare, as if Mykonos is not already expensive, you can rent a scooter, a quad, or a car during your stay and drive to some of the islands' virgin beaches that are unreachable by public transportation. Also remember that rental of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach is expensive, at 4 euros each. So if you are a couple, you'd pay 12 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella for a day. But you can always just choose a spot right on the beach, bring your own towels and umbrella and pay nothing.
Our first beach was Paranga Beach. Situated between Paradise and Platys Yialos beaches, Paranga is a beautiful organized (sunbeds on offer) southern beach that offers excellent swimming and bars that go rowdy as the day rolls by. If you like a more peaceful area like we do, go to the right-most side of the beach, farthest to the row of bars.
We got a tip off our hotel hostess one day we wanted to go to the beach while it was quite windy. Located just around the corner of the new Tourlos Port on the northwest coast of the island, the Agias Stefanos Beach is well protected against winds from all directions. A favorite among locals, the beach has very fine sand and it's easy to waddle from the shore as it's mostly just sand, quite a wonderful surprise actually. It is also at an advantageous position capturing the legendary Mykonos sunset and watching the big cruise ships leaving the island at the end of each port call.
There were still many beaches we wanted to explore like the undeveloped, virgin beaches and a tip-off like Agrari Beach and its idyllic cove, but we just didn't have enough time or the weather conditions didn't offer the best possible scenario. But as long as the tides keep on turning and the sun keeps on shining, there will be a next time for Mykonos and its lovely beaches.

Hello Fulbright Applicant,
I've been asked to write a short reflection on my experience writing a Fulbright application and, honestly, I was unsure what to say. I was (and still am) surprised to receive the grant. Hopefully though, my experience will be of some use to you as you begin your application.
My first bit of advice is to start your application early. That's not to say you should start immediately worrying if you haven't started the application process well in advance. Many people have received Fulbrights without doing so. That said, starting the application well ahead of the deadline will give you a distinct advantage. It gives you time to draft and redraft your essays, figure out what works and doesn't in your application, what should be emphasized more, what needs to be emphasized less. It allows you the space to coolly reflect on your application and find the…

Spruce Mountain's Brett Frey moved from wide receiver to quarterback this year, a decision that his father, Dave Frey, the Phoenix's head coach, knew wouldn't come easy.
LIVERMORE FALLS — Dave Frey sat in shock as he watched his son, Brett, lying motionless on the basketball court.
An assistant/JV coach for Spruce Mountain at the time, Dave Frey was on the bench when Brett dove for a loose ball in a basketball game last season. An opponent dove in late and landed on Brett, driving his head into the court, splitting his chin and knocking him out.
"It was tough because I didn't know how to react. I was more in shock with how it happened," Dave Frey said. "I just didn't move. It was weird."
The concussion sidelined Brett Frey, a key contributor for the Phoenix, for two weeks. He still has no memory of the incident, but symptoms subsided and he was able to return for the final game of the season, a tournament semifinal loss to Wells.
"I slept and did whatever I had to do to get back because it was playoff time," Frey said. "But, I mean, it was kind of scary."
Frey showed the same determination to come back for football this fall.
Like many other teenagers considering their future after suffering a concussion in sports, he had discussions with his family about the risks. But because his father is the head coach of the football team and he was going to be changing positions if he did play, the dynamics of that discussion were different than those that take place around most dinner tables.
Having coached Brett since he was 6 years old, and having spent seven years as an assistant coach at Spruce Mountain before being named head coach midway through last season, Dave Frey knew the risks of Brett returning to football. The concussion he suffered was his second, having also been diagnosed with one suffered while playing freshman football.
While talking with his assistant coaches during the spring, Dave kicked around the idea of Brett playing quarterback. With graduation losses, including quarterback Caulin Parker, the coaches were considering switching from a pass-oriented spread offense to a run-oriented double-wing. Brett, a starting wide receiver in the spread offense, was one of the fastest and most talented athletes on the team. He had played quarterback in the double-wing as recently as eighth grade and had great success.
It was a plan the coaches thought might work for the Phoenix in their first year in Class D South. But first they had to know if Brett was playing. Before the coach would commit the player to the position change, the father made it clear to the son that playing at all was his call to make.
"It was one of those decisions he had to make on his own," Dave Frey said. "I told him I'd back him 100 percent no matter what he decided."
"The concussion was pretty much a totally different discussion," Brett Frey said. "We sat down and talked about that and they said it was all my decision if I wanted to play or not."
Brett sensed that his father and mother, Angela, had some reservations. But, having had no complications since his recovery, it was an easy decision for him to make.
"It was my senior year and my last season," Frey said. "I felt like if I didn't play I'd let my teammates down. I wanted to play."
Watched closely by Dave, Brett went through summer football and basketball without any setbacks. Thoughts of his concussion have surfaced, but second thoughts never surface.
"Once I get on the field, it just all goes away and I don't really think about it," Brett said.
Dave Frey braces himself whenever any of his players take a hit, but admits it's different when an opponent is bearing down on his son, who also plays free safety.
"Sometimes you want to block it out from the back of your head, but it's always going to be there," Dave Frey said.
Opponents will zero in on the quarterback more than they will a wide receiver. One thing working in Brett Frey's favor, though, is he has the speed and vision to escape danger more often than not, as Mt. View discovered last week when he rushed for two touchdowns in a 44-0 win.
Defenses have to key on running backs such as Kayle Stewart and Logan Smith in the double-wing, but the Phoenix have plays designed to get Frey in space. They also encourage Frey, on the rare pass play, to use his speed and take advantage if he can't find a receiver and the pass rush has left him an opening.
"That makes him more versatile. He can throw. He can run," Dave Frey said. "That's one of the things I've told him — Be patient. And he has been."
Running the double-wing again has been a little bit like getting back on a bicycle after a three-year layoff, Brett said.
"The reads are a little faster but, I mean, it's not that hard because we go over it in practice," Brett Frey said. "Everybody on our team is a threat, so that helps."
Some see the threat of another concussion, or any other injury, looms any time he steps on the field. But Brett Frey sees friends he's been playing football with for a dozen years and a bright future for the Phoenix instead.
"I've played ever since I was 6," he said. "I obviously love the game and I felt like if I didn't play with my seniors — because I've seen in the past people not play their senior years and some people have been kind of upset and I just felt I needed to play. I didn't want to let my teammates down and I felt like I could possibly help them.
"I have a good feeling about this team because we had a lot of players coming back," he added, "and I think we can go pretty far this year."

Rhythm? No, everyday is different and I like it that way.
Living abroad puts you in the mood for exploring, searching for the unknown, and meeting new people. That's why we, the group of consultants on the _SocialStarters Rio programme, decided to go to Ilha Grande for the weekend.
Ilha Grande is one of the most beautiful islands in Brazil, just a short drive and a bumpy boat ride away from Rio (aka 'Hiiiiio' in Carioca parlance). A great short break with hikes in the forest and snorkelling at the best beaches.
When not exploring Brazil's beautiful islands, we live in a lovely apartment at Praia do Flamengo, which gives me the opportunity to have a run/work-out on the beach every morning. And I am not the only one. From six in the morning it is full of Cariocas (the name for people from Rio) and expats, up, fresh and ready for the day!
For work, we go to Eixo Rio, our headquarters for the six-week-long _SocialStarters Immersion Programme. Last week I conducted research and pre-work for a meeting with my client Maria Chantal. Chantal is running her own fashion brand (Loja Maria Chantal) and does everything herself, ranging from daily production and finances, to preparing Feiras (markets) where she sells her super inspiring t-shirts and other products.
My client Maria wants to create awareness around racism, a very big social issue in Rio de Janeiro. With her great one-liners printed on t-shirts and other products, she wants to empower black women to be happy with who they are and not be ashamed of being black.
My mission is to assist her in growing her business, setting long and short term goals. As she does everything on her own, she can be quite chaotic and sometimes loses control. That is why I thought of a helpful tool she can use to become a better planner and have a good overview of her important tasks. In the meeting, I explained the tool to plan her daily tasks more efficiently. She was very happy and has been using the personal planner every day since then, sending me pictures of the progress, which gives me lots of energy! Chantal had an event (Feira) on Saturday in Lapa, 'Encontro Preto', so she had to prepare a lot and still needed to promote the event.
Together we created a network overview in order to use the right contacts to spread the word, invite people to the event and make it the best we could. It was very satisfying to see so many people attend the event and she had a very good day in terms of sales. Overall, I am very proud of Chantal, she is the best in what she does!
This week we will have a look at her finances, using her new product 'skirts' as an example. She admits that keeping track of finances is not her favourite part of being a social entrepreneur. However, she knows that it is very important and therefore asked for my help. I will try to teach her the basic skills of setting a fair price, setting up a balance sheet and explain how to update incomes and outflows easily. Having a good overview of her finances will give her a better perspective on new opportunities/investments in her business which could lead to further growth! Soon, Chantal will launch her new product, so again we will promote the event, invite the right people (bloggers, influencers, photographers and potential customers) to make it a huge success.
Together with my colleague Oliver, I also support social entrepreneur Sheila. Sheila has grown up in Santa Marta, one of the many favelas in Rio de Janeiro. She is a strong woman with a great personality. She was one of the first girls from the favela to attend university. After obtaining her degree in tourism, she now has her own tourist agency 'Brazilidade', giving amazing tours in the favela. She wants to grow in a direction in which tourism will lead to a more sustainable living environment for the community of Santa Marta. We brainstorm a lot with her about this and also try to get good insight into her finances, how to grow, evaluate activities, etc.
Together with the whole group of consultants, we also help Sheila and her community with the project Eu quero o Santa Marta limpo. How do we educate the local people to take their rubbish to the bins? Can you imagine a favela where 6,000 inhabitants throw trash away, but nobody takes the lead in carrying it to the main street? Santa Marta is built into a very steep hillside making trash collection difficult. People work long hours and have other things to do, but together with Sheila we aim to educate people about the importance of a clean and proper living environment. It is a challenge, but some impact has already been made. One day o Santa Marta vao a ser limpo!
In the meantime, _SocialStarters arranges great workshops to help consultants grow personally and professionally. To give you an example, we do SWOT's to find out our pain points and opportunities. We also had a session called 'limiting beliefs' – how to broaden your perspective by just thinking differently. We also do headspace trips (like trips to the Dois Irmaos) together that literally blows your mind.
Of course there is also time to live the real Rio life, learn portuguese, do some samba, drink Capirinhas at the beach and enjoy the stunning sunset. Que queres mas?
What will I take home from all this? Lots of energy, new perspectives, a personally and professionally enhanced me, amazing like-minded friends, great satisfaction, a tan… and so on!

Dr. Kaye has helped THOUSANDS of people lose HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pounds!
"Dr. Kaye's system of weight loss and maintenance is straight-forward and very easy to follow. I use it myself. Unlike many of the popular fad diets, Dr. Kaye emphasizes lifestyle change and a balanced diet that does not leave out any essential nutrients. He "sweetens the pot" with concrete tips to help you be successful, many of which I, a physician, had never heard before I worked with him. His system can be followed successfully for years. I have witnessed this in many of his clients. In a world in which 90% of those who lose weight gain it back within a year, this is a very positive statement. I strongly recommend this program."
D. Paul Robinson, M.D., F.A.A.P.
"Dr. Freddy Kaye provides a basic, no-nonsense plan to weight loss. Stressing routine, not gimmicks, he coaches you along your journey with helpful hints and strategies. More importantly, his overall apporach is toward the goal of healthier living and weight maintenance. I have seen first-hand many of his "successes" who are now happier, healthier and lighter…"
Floyd Jaggears, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon
"My struggle with weight and food has been life-long. I tried it all. Dr. Kaye's plan is so straight-forward that many will dismiss it for not having all the bells and whistles. Too often, quick-fix plans offer strange foods that arrive in a box, count points, or are so restrictive that you cannot stay on them. Dr. Kaye offers a life change, not a diet. Using his common sense approach, I've lost over 100 lbs. I've kept it off, so far, for 2 years. His program SAVED MY LIFE
"By following Dr. Kaye's program, I have achieved goals that I hadn't dreamed were possible. I have confidence in myself again. I'm proud of what I have done. It amazes me daily. Seeing positive results has fortified my faith beyond my dreams. Staying steadfast in the course Dr. Kaye has chartered for me, I have become a new person … or rather, I've become me!"
"Dr. Kaye had a great impact on my life…he made me aware of what I was eating…He introduced me to new foods and a new style of eating…I wanted to be able to walk and start working again. I wanted my lifestyle to change. My grandfather told me I could do anything I wanted to do. Dr. Kaye reinforced his wisdom… Now, I have lost more than 100 pounds!"
"Dr. Kaye's plan is not a diet in the common use of the word. It isn't a program that one uses to drop a few pounds and then return to former habits and former weight gain. This is a practical, health-centered, historically and universally-based nutritional plan for eating right and living well. Thank you, Dr. Kaye, for giving me back my life…"
Pastor Vance, Methodist Minister
"When I started Dr. Kaye's program, I weighed 323 pounds and could barely walk two miles without giving out. Two years later, after eating healthier food and exercising regularly, I'm 120 pounds lighter and do a range of activities I couldn't do before I started with Dr. Kaye – jog, water ski, bicycle and enjoy amusement parks. My cholesterol levels and blood pressure have improved tremendously…most importantly, these changes have given me a chance for a longer life to spend with my family."

POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 11:18 pm, April 27, 2010 - POSTED IN Rant
Right now, a bunch of rich guys are gathered in a room bidding to purchase the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com, the website that features content from both papers (as well as video reports on life at the Jersey Shore filed by bikini-clad young women).
There are a lot of reasons why these failing media companies are once again on the block: declining ad sales, competition from websites like Craigslist.org and bloggers — the list goes on and on.
Here's one more reason why these companies are failing: they rely on their sports coverage to sell papers and their sports analysis sucks.
Take a look at their response to Ryan Howard's contract extension. Both papers devoted a lot of ink to the signing. But neither wrote anything worth reading.
First, Rich Hoffman was on the scene defending the extension as a just reward for a player who has worked hard to improve. Hoffman says all contracts are a gamble:
"I cannot predict the future. Howard can't. The Phillies can't. This is all a guess. Skills erode sometimes. Injuries happen sometimes. Happenstance happens sometimes. To pretend to know the future is to tell a lie."
Actually, Rich, skills erode every time. Some players decline faster than others, but the vast majority of players start declining at age 29-30, and that decline speeds up as the player ages. This trend is even more pronounced in players built like Howard. It's true, we can't predict the future, but the Phillies have bet big money that Howard is the exception, not the rule. That's not a safe bet.
Next comes Phil Sheridan, who concludes that Howard won't decline as he ages because, again, he works hard. Sheridan points to Howard's infield single on opening day as proof:
This easily overlooked bit of hustle was consistent with his improved fitness and his dedication to better defensive play and his off-season master class with Barry Bonds. After beginning his career with historic power numbers, Howard has continually worked hard to improve every facet of his game.
Sheridan, like Hoffman, seems to think that hard work will trump the aging process. We'll see. Cal Ripken worked pretty hard. He was the Iron Man, after all. At age 30 he posted a career high OPS+ of 162. The next season he fell off a cliff, posting an OPS+ of 92. Over the next nine seasons he only once came close to repeating the offensive numbers he posted in his age 30 season. That was in 1999 when, at the age of 38, he posted a 143 OPS+ in only 86 games, thanks to an unsustainably high .332 babip.
(By the way, if you're wondering what the Barry Bonds master class looks like, it's six weeks of instruction on where to stick the needle, how to dodge the IRS, and where to find oversized hats.)
UmpBump favorite Paul Hagen applauds the Phils for not being cheap, saying, "maybe the Phillies won't be able to hold that window open as long as they think they can. Gotta like that they're at least trying, though." To which I say, really? We're giving points for good intentions now? The Cubs were trying to win when they signed Alfonso Soriano to an 8-year, $136M contract. The Giants were trying to win when they signed Barry Zito to a 7-year, $126M deal. But you know what? Those teams' good intentions didn't matter much when the players didn't perform as hoped. And it was entirely predictable that they wouldn't perform as hoped. I predicted it, and I'm a guy who only reads enough to survive in his fantasy league.
Finally, we've got John Gonzalez, who is thankful Howard won't join the list of players who left Philadelphia for greener pastures. Unfortunately, Gonzo can't resist the urge to take a swipe at fans who like advanced stats:
It's a pretty sweet deal for Howard. There will be critics, of course, detractors who don't like the extension because of the money or the length or Howard's age or because their default position on the emotional dial has long been locked on cranky. Everyone else around here should be thrilled.
This was a neat trick. Gonzo takes all the legitimate criticisms of the Howard extension and dismisses them in one swoop by lumping them in with the perpetually cranky. The implication is that sabermetricians like stats because they hate fun. And America. And puppies.
I wonder why Philly sports writers who are obsessed with hard work (they've also lauded Roy "The Hardest Working Man In Throw Business" Halladay and Chase "The Hardest Working Man in Baseball" Utley) don't value the research-intensive analysis being done by the likes of Keith Law, Dave Cameron, Tom Tango, etc.?
Moreover, they disdain people who value advanced metrics. Sheridan writes, "(Howard) continues to try to work to be a better player. This kind of talk galls those who worship the almighty stat to the exclusion of all else. Howard's entire career rattles their cages, which is one more reason to enjoy his work."
That's pretty glib. It strikes me as ironic that while newspapers are fighting a waning public desire for information, writers like Sheridan and Gonzalez are so flagrantly dismissing the analysis done by the most progressive baseball thinkers. Philly newspapers still do good work, but the sports commentary is nothing more than talk radio in print form. Somebody wake me when "ESPN Philadelphia" launches.

On a Swing for the first time
To ride a bike for the first time, to skate for the first time on the rink…Every new experience is both exciting and somewhat scary. That's what happened to Ivelina. Yesterday she nestled on a swing for the first time. A special swing, tailor-made for her. This is a story with a happy end.
Ivelina and the other kids and youths from the Social Care Complex "St. St. Constantine and Helena" in Plovdiv will have a exciting summer due to the enthusiasm and commitment of Anita and Kristiana from the Trade High School in Plovdiv. And also thanks to all donors, who believed in their project and supported them. The two girls were semi-finalists in the competition "Young Benefactor" 2016. Although they ranked second, we supported their project with a campaign for purchase of special swing for children with disabilities. The sum of 2950 leva, raised during a DMS campaign (donor messages based), private donations and school events, the swing was purchased, and the team of Adapt BG supplied it and assembled it free of charge. The director of the complex, Mrs. Vateva allowed other children with disabilities from the same neighbourhood to be using the swing.
We are grateful to all thanks to whom today Ivelina and her friends discover something new and so exciting!
The next edition of the competition will be held in October 2017.

text: I'm debating on buying a cheap laptop or putting Virtual PC on my PowerBook. I didn't think of the Virtual PC option until someone else brought it up, but while looking into it I realized that each time I go to any version (available online) it continually states that it is compatible with my computer but then excludes computers running Tiger. Can anyone direct me to the correct version of Virtual PC? Second to that, and the dumbest question of them all, but does Virtual PC come with windows or will I need to buy an OEM copy of windows? I'm not asking for "free". If VPC is free then so be it. I'm looking for someone to tell me what runs on my PowerBook 1.67ghz running the latest build of Tiger. I have to install some exam software on my computer and I'd like to use my laptop as I don't intend to sit inside and study constantly.

Ssara Ali Khan seems to be loving all those controversies that surround her when she posts her pictures online. Its not even been a month since Ssara Ali Khan was trolled badly for posting a picture online skinny dipping in a pool wearing a bikini. Now she has done it once again and this time the picture is in a sleazy two-piece bikini and she is accompanied by her former co-star Angad Hasija.
The much-loved couple, who are all set to enthral fans with a music video, got together for some unabashed fun. Ssara shared a few videos of herself and Angad, on her Instagram stories. Among a bunch of posts, is a picture of Ssara in a bikini. Angad can be seen next to him in the shot. We get you the pictures, here. Check them out:
Earlier she made headlines when her sister Ayra Khan posted a video where the both of them were seen skinny dipping in a bathtub. The pics were later deleted, but not before they went viral and invited a bunch of nasty trolls. Talking about the episode, exclusively to SpotboyE.com, Ssara Khan had said that the pics had gone up by mistake and they didn't hurt anyone's sentiments. Coming back to the recent pictures, it seems Ssara doesn't give two hoots to trolls.

Threadlift Vs. Facelift
As we get older, the obvious signs of aging start to appear on our face. We lose collagen, plumpness, and elasticity. Aging can cause the skin to sag and wrinkle, which can be distressing. Thankfully, there is a solution for this. Dependent on your goals and age, what are these options? The comparison between a threadlift vs facelift is important because both are supposed to superficially revert aging on your skin. However, a facelift is a more effective and a longer lasting solution. In this post, we will examine the reasons why we believe the High SMAS facelift is the ultimate solution.
The threadlift has become popular in the past few years due to the demand for lesser invasive anti-aging solutions. A threadlift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts sagging skin on the face and neck by utilizing suture threads. These sutures are absorbable and when inserted into the skin can help to tighten and lift areas such as cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, lips, and neck. At the same time, it helps to build collagen where the sutures have been placed. Tiny cones called barbs are attached to the absorbable thread and also help to deeply lift and tighten the skin, which also helps to stimulate collagen.
Consumers have named the threadlift the "new facelift" or "lunch-time facelift". However, it is not nearly as effective and long-lasting as a facelift.
In order to restore the youthful appearance of the face, cosmetic surgeons perform facelifts. In a facelift, the surgeon tightens and removes the saggy skin on the face and neck. There are many different types of facelifts ranging from min-facelift, full-face lift to High SMAS Facelift. . Our solution for people between the ages of 40 to 65 is the High SMAS Facelift. It is one of our signature surgeries as it is revolutionary and "produces the most natural results and the maximum lasting result compared to any other facelifts." Unlike other facelifts, the doctor pulls the deepest layers of the skin in the zygoma, cheeks, mid-face, and jawline. The result of this is a more a natural not waxen look.
At VIP International Plastic Surgery Center, we want the best and longest lasting remedy for our clients. As a result, we only perform the High SMAS Facelift. Here are our 5 Reasons to choose this particular procedure:
While a threadlift can be relatively effective, the threads dissolve and results are only visible for approximately 6 months after the procedure. Most likely, to maintain the results, you will have to redo the threadlift. With the High SMAS Facelift, results are semi-permanent. In fact, the results can last from 8 to 10 years.
One of the best things about the High SMAS facelift technique is that it creates natural facelift results that are smooth and don't look plastic. Of course, nobody wants to walk around with an obvious "waxen" look, so this is ideal.
Check out these natural results below from one of our clients:
A threadlift only reaches the superficial layers of the skin and is nowhere as deep as the High SMAS facelift. With the High SMAS Facelift, the surgeon can also tighten the SMAS layer (superficial muscular-aponeurotic layer), which lies deep under the skin. Consequently, this procedure can take off at least 10 years on the face.
A High SMAS Facelift can address most sagging and wrinkling of the skin as compared to a threadlift. People up to 85 years old can have a High SMAS Facelift. Furthermore, it can be used to treat the neck, unlike a normal threadlift. When compared to other cosmetic treatments, a threadlift seems to address a very small group of people. It cannot be used across all skin-types or for all degrees of sagging.
In the long run, a High SMAS Facelift is more cost-effective. Because the results are long-lasting, the High SMAS Facelift is a better solution. Instead of redoing your threadlift multiple times in order to maintain the results, you are saving tons of money with just one extremely effective High SMAS facelift.
As mentioned above, the comparison between a threadlift vs facelift is like comparing apples and oranges. As a result, the High SMAS Facelift is definitely the best solution if you need dramatic and long-lasting results. However, it is of the utmost importance that you find a doctor who excels in this procedure because it requires special skills.

Nichols Discusses Charter Review
The Clallam County Charter Review Commission is holding a public hearing in Forks on Wedneday.

Any proposed amendments would go on the ballot this November.
Clallam County is one of seven counties in the state that operates under a charter, which serves as the county's "constitution."

WA Debates Smoking Deterrents; Are They Right Ones?
Washington lawmakers are debating hiking the tobacco tax, taxing electronic cigarettes and raising the legal smoking age from 18 to 21. To the American Lung Association, all are promising steps, but the state has yet to fully fund its basic tobacco prevention program. Smoking takes about 8,000 lives a year in Washington, and some new research points to even more associated deaths.

Actor talks 'Clash Of The Titans' sequel
Liam Neeson has talked for the first time about Wrath Of The Titans, the sequel to this year's Clash Of The Titans reboot, confirming that he'll once again play the role of Zeus.
He told The Belfast Telegraph that he was feeling positive about the project, despite a large number of script rewrites having taken place so far.
"I've only read half of the script and there is still some work being done," he said. "They're on script ten – but I think it's going to be some kick-ass stuff and a very human story to it."
The sequel is to be directed by Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman.
Neeson went on to confirm a start date for filming, saying, "We will start next March. I'm very much looking forward to it. It's a whole revamping."
The first film came under fire for its lacklustre post-conversion 3D. When asked if the 3D work on Wrath… would fare any better, Neeson declined to discuss the matter, saying simply: "I don't know the answer to that."
