Oil Forecast: The "Syrian Premium" Is Not TemporaryBy an apparent agreement to place its chemical weapons under international control, Syria seems to have dodged an imminent American military attack. Yet even as the world takes a step back from the brink, three critical questions still remain: 1. Will Syrian President Bashar Assad hand over all of his chemical weapons? 2. Will the proposed international control mechanisms satisfy Washington? 3. Will the final result contained in the U.N. report on the chemical weapons use outside of Damascus alter the outcome? Of course, until the latest news hit, one result had seemed certain: The global oil market was bracing for higher prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at a 28-month high on Friday, while Brent crossed the $116 a barrel level. Following the agreement, that trend has reversed, sending oil prices in both New York and London lower. But has this crisis really been defused? Just look at oil prices, and where they're undoubtedly headed......

Don't Ignore This Shift in the Global Oil Market
The prices for crude oil and major oil products (like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil) continue to advance. And some interesting changes on the supply side are emerging.
You see, traditional raw material providers are moving to supply international markets with value-added processed products.
Russia is the clearest example of this transformation in the oil-export balance, but it's hardly the only one. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have also embarked on major refinery upgrades and expansions.
The Russian experience is the most... Read More...
This Key Energy Metric Could Make You A Lot of Money
Last week I discussed what EROEI is-and how to use it.
This week I'd like to talk about how this key metric affects the balance of your energy investment portfolio.
Now, this is certainly not the only element in determining preferable stock moves, but it's critical that you know the EROEI because it could make you a lot of money.
Recognizing the real elements that determine the genuine cost of energy production, EROEI is becoming an important factor in estimating profit margins.
And those margins certainly influence the performance of a stock as we've seen all across the energy value chain in recent months.
EROEI refers to the amount of energy used to produce energy.
If this ratio produces a figure of 1.0, EROEI is telling us that it takes one barrel of oil equivalent to produce one barrel as a result.
Anything under 1.0 means that more energy is consumed in the production process than is gained as an end product.
EROEI has the advantage of being a useful yardstick throughout the energy curve - from upstream production sites (wellheads, generating facilities) through midstream (gathering, transit, storage and initial processing) to downstream (refineries, terminals, wholesale and retail distribution, end use).
Some applications of EROEI are already in wide usage, although we don't tend to think about them in these terms. Energy-efficiency ratings on appliances, heating and cooling systems, windows, or building supplies are an application at the end of the energy curve.
But how can we use this to fine-tune an investment portfolio?

The Trajectory is for Oil Prices to Rise
Crude oil and gasoline futures contract prices moved down yesterday, as the market took a breather from an accelerated upturn.
But the overall medium-term trajectory for oil prices no longer appears to be in doubt.
As I have indicated on several occasions recently, the downward movement in May and June was an overreaction to softness in the sector, with the ultimate slide over twice as large as any objective reading of the fundamentals would justify.
We are now witnessing a return to a "normal" oil market. That doesn't mean a lack of volatility or a narrow range of trading.
This normal is hardly boring.
These Three Factors Determine Oil PricesWhat it does mean is that oil prices will be determined by three factors:
- Supply and demand;
- The spread between benchmark crude grades; and
- Geopolitical tensions and events. Here, we are considering matters we've discussed here a number of times.
That results in something I have discussed previously - a sort of "cart leading the horse."

Four Things Suppressing Crude Oil Prices Today
The collapse of talks between Iran and the "Big 6" (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) should have accelerated international crude oil prices.
And yes, they are higher.
But the real spike hasn't hit. Not yet.
The rising crisis atmosphere in the region and the genuine possibility that a fourth round of talks between the two sides will not even take place should have renewed the upward movement.
That hasn't taken place yet, either.
Oil prices are caught between the normal dynamics of geopolitical concerns - which push prices north - and continuing concerns over a global economic slowdown - which results in lowering expectations.
Now, this limbo is a delicate balance; it could change in a matter of hours.
We are likely to see a short-term rise Monday evening if the Norwegian oil and gas sector strike is not averted. Labor negotiations between Norway's oil workers and employers over pay and pensions failed - yet again - yesterday. The country is now just hours away from the first complete shutdown of its oil industry in decades. (Already, the strike has cut oil output by 13%, according to Reuters.)
Then there are the figures coming out from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday, which will almost certainly show a drawdown on U.S. inventories. Normally, that would also push up prices.
However, absent an Iranian move against the Strait of Hormuz or a major refinery accident somewhere in the world, the rise will be less than usual.
That's because right now, four things are tempering the oil price rise:

One of the most exciting fights of the year came on the main card of UFC 166, when lightweight contenders Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez went to war and just violently exchanged strikes in the pocket.
However, while Melendez and Sanchez served as the Fight of the Night winner, you can't deny that the entire card was loaded with amazing fights from top to bottom.
After the event, UFC president Dana White was not shy about saying this was the most successful and greatest fight card that the promotion has ever put on.
"Everybody, all the guys, I know it's hard not to focus on Diego Sanchez and Gilbert Melendez, but from the first fight of the night, all the fights that happened, everybody gave it 100%," said White. "The place was sold out, the crowd was into every fight … it was amazing."
"Without a doubt the greatest night of fight we have ever had. From the first fight of the night, right up to the Heavyweight championship, it's the best fight card we have ever had."
Considering all of the conversation about the event that is still going on and how excited people are to watch replays of the fights, you almost have to agree.
What do you all think? Was UFC 166 the greatest pay-per view card we have ever seen? Sound off in the comments section below.

3-D Mammograms: Pros and Cons
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just approved the first system for digital mammography. The FDA reports that in pre-clinical studies, 3-D mammography was seven percent more accurate than traditional mammography.
3-D Mammography
3-D mammograms, or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), overlays 3-D optical mammogram images with x-ray images. Radiologists say it helps differentiate benign lesions from malignant ones in a noninvasive way. This means fewer biopsies of non-cancerous lesions, fewer false positives, and a better understanding of the characteristics of the tumor or lesion. With current 2-D mammography, about 10 percent of women require additional imaging to clarify ambiguous results. This is particularly the case for women with dense breast tissue.
DBT reconstructs a series of thin, high-resolution, cross-sectional slices into 3-D images. While providing detailed image resolution, 3-D images don't show the contrasts between tumors and dense breast tissue very well, so radiologist overlay them with 2-D images to create a more detailed picture of the breast.
The Pros and Cons of 3-D Mammography
In initial experimental studies, the FDA found that although 3-D imaging improved cancer detection, researchers have not replicated these results in randomized control trials. So far, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, an independent agency, says the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of 3-D mammography.
In a large study, more than 49,000 women received both digital and screen film mammograms administered by the same technician. Researchers found insignificant differences in detection accuracy for the entire group. However, 3-D images were more effective for women with dense breasts, those younger than 50, and for pre- and peri-menopausal women.
There are downsides to 3-D mammography. Digital mammograms expose women to twice the radiation as traditional mammography, which is already high. According to cancer prevention expert Samuel S. Epstein, mammograms (two images of each breast yearly) expose women to .5 rad (radiation absorbed dose) annually. This is five times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's allowable rad for whole body exposure from nuclear industries (.02 rad) and 500 times the dose from a single x-ray of the whole chest, not just the breast, which is the most sensitive organ to ionizing radiation.
Not all patients will benefit equally from 3-D mammography so physicians must determine who should take advantage of it. Furthermore, each manufacturer's system has its own benefits and disadvantages, which makes direct clinical comparison difficult. It also makes it hard to establish standardized exam protocols. 3-D mammography still requires the same breast compression as traditional mammography.

For those looking for a little help understanding the Affordable Care Act, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be in Greenville Tuesday.
The Health Care Express Bus will be set up in front of City Hall and will offer interactive stations where people can get more information about health insurance and apply for coverage.
The bus will be open until 6 p.m. and is free for the public.
Gupta will help highlight the benefits and shortfalls of the act, help explain how it works and talk about the application process for healthcare.
"Obviously there is a lot of concern about this act," Gupta told FOX Carolina. "The federal government is shutdown in large part because of this implementation, so people have concerns."
Gupta said he is in Greenville to help answer people's questions because South Carolina is affected by the law.
"One of five South Carolinians do not have health insurance, so this is a big deal to them," he said.
Tuesday is the first day for people to start enrolling in healthcare plans through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Click here to read more about how some in the Upstate are responding to the new healthcare options and find out more about how you can sign up.
CNN's bus will head to Lexington, KY, then Baltimore, MD, after visiting Greenville.

They may be not the highest paid players on the Vancouver Canucks' roster, nor are they the most experienced or the most skilled, but Alexander Edler and Steve Bernier have showed their value thus far in this year's playoffs.
When it comes to their impact on the team both players have significantly different roles and therefore very different expectations. But what Edler and Bernier have in common is that through the regular season they likely had left Canucks' fans, coaches and management wanting more than they got.
The package seems to be there in both cases.
Both have hulking bodies, seem to be conditioned well, possess above-average offensive skill and have wowed their respective organizations in the past – Edler in his first full season with the Canucks and Bernier when he scored 14 goals in 39 games as a rookie with Sharks. But both have yet to duplicate those seasons.
Many will argue that Edler, while earning the fourth highest salary among the team's defensemen and recording a career-high in points, had his best season as a pro this year. And they may in fact be correct statistically but as a top-four d-man, Edler went about his work in a quiet, unassuming manner.
That's a far cry from what was expected from him after he garnered his nickname "Little Ohlly," after former Canucks' defenseman Mattias Ohlund.
Ohlund at times when into the same type of silent funk as Edler. He was affective but not noticeable. That in many instances is what you want from a d-man but with Ohlund and Edler is exactly the opposite. Edler earned his nickname because of his confident, dominant offensive play without sacrificing defense, which mirrored Ohlund's best qualities.
And now again it is apparent why Edler was so highly touted and compared to one of the Canucks' best all-time defensemen. That's thanks to his play in the first round of the playoffs.
In game one versus the Los Angeles Kings, Edler was a one man wrecking crew throwing his immense frame all over the ice, making plays offensively and defensively. He was arguably the most dominant player on the ice. Not only was the 24-year-old native of Ostersund, Sweden, noticeable
but he was likely the Canucks' best player on the back-end throughout
the series. That's something that didn't even seem possible during the regular season but it clearly apparent in the deciding sixth game during which the 6-foot-3, 215-pound d-man made several stunning defensive plays thwarting many Kings' scoring chances.
Bernier on the other hand battled an abdominal injury during the regular season which resulted in him getting in only 59 games and scoring 11 goals. While his 11 goal total was only three off his career average of 14, expectations of Bernier have been gargantuan since he arrived in Vancouver.
With his 6-foot-2, 215 pound frame and him being a right-handed shot, he was thought to be – like many a player in the past – a perfect fit for the Sedins. Bernier didn't quite pan out as the third Sedin and has struggled to find a place on the team's roster.
But this year – like last – in the playoffs, Bernier has shown why he is valuable to the team, even though he is clearly – whether it's a good thing or bad – not the second coming of Trent Klatt.
Bernier's work ethic, his big body and his desire to contribute has made his a perfect fit alongside Kyle Wellwood and the winger du-jour on the Canucks' third line and in front of the opposition's goaltender on the Canucks' power play.
The native of Quebec City has oft found himself in the right scoring position and seems always to have failed to convert – much to the chagrin of the team's stake-holders. But what that means is Bernier is doing something right and sooner or later it will pay off.
And so far, in the playoffs – where dirty, bang-and-crash goals are the M.O. – it has in fact paid off.
Bernier has scored four goals, which ties him for fourth in the league, one behind the likes teammate Daniel Sedin and scoring superpower Alex Ovechkin.
Maybe Steve Bernier and Alex Edler were saving their best for last, maybe they are made for the playoffs, or maybe it's just luck. Whatever the reason, what it means is that the Canucks have at least two players playing above their regular season level.
It means that when players like the Sedins, Ryan Kesler, and Sami Salo are feeling the pressure to produce and cannot get it done – which hasn't yet been the case – Edler and Bernier and role players like them will be there mop up.
It speaks to Vancouver's new-found depth at forward and defense and Mike Gillis' philosophy of having character players. It's not really a tangible asset but it's valuable.
Because when the spotlight is shining and the well goes dry, character wins hockey games.

Just create a graphic featuring a fierce female!
Examples might be Katniss Everdeen, Bella Swan, Clary Fray, River Tam, etc.
Be sure to tell us why you think this character is a fierce female!!!
Remember: it is OKAY to do a character that someone else has already done!
Good luck and have fun!

Spencer Hastings
I find her a "fierce female" because she is always striving to be the best and keep herself not only a float but flying over everyone else. She is crazy competitive and driven about any and everything she does and she is always trying to keep the people around her safe from harm no matter the cost to herself.
This is GORGEOUS Juliee!
This is so beautiful Juliee!
I agree! Spencer is definitely a fierce female!!!
(Hope I'm not too late with my entry)
Faye Chamberlain
Faye is the epitome of "FIERCE".
Faye is eccentric, brash, irresponsible and a free spirit witch.
She is a really strong female character that knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it.
GORGEOUS Rachel!!!
Snow White from Snow White and the Huntsman!
I think that Snow White is a fierce female because, despite being locked up her whole life, that girl can run! xD
But seriously, she got away from the queen and then took the queen down. :3

Jason Alexander, Nikki M. James, Dominic Marsh and Jayne Houdyshell have been cast in a feature version of the play "Lucky Stiff" with production set for mid-June in Southern California.
The play, based on Michael Butterworth's 1965 novel "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," was written by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty and first performed at New York's Playwright's Horizons. Ahrens has adapted the play for the screen, while Flaherty and Ahrens have written additional songs.
Christopher Ashley, director of the musical "Memphis," has been tapped to direct.
Of all the musicals to turn into movies, I'm shocked they're doing this. I saw a production at Syracuse years ago and enjoyed it for its charms but as far as musicals go it's fairly obscure. Anyway, at least the cast is exciting.
I've read a lot of press releases promising movie musicals. Like Mame with Goldie Hawn or Cher or Bette Midler. Like the Reba Annie Get Your Gun. Like that Into the Woods movie in the early 90s. Like Bat Boy, or remakes of Damn Yankees or My Fair Lady . I remeber hearing of a gender switched version of the latter to star Bette Midler called My Fair Larry. And remember that Hairspray sequel?

Perhaps I read this wrong, but it seems that SexyCooldown only tracks your cooldowns. I've really been looking for an addon that has the same functionality of this addon but tracks opponents cds (in say, arena) so that I know when the rogue is going to kick again, and I know when I am in the clear to heal and when I need to be concerned about fake casting. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative.
Chris Heald said...
Correct, it will not track others' cooldowns. However, someone could roll a module to do that pretty easily - SexyCooldown is very extensible as a general-purpose timer framework.

In its latest statement, the Federal Reserve pledged to keep interest rates low until unemployment hits 6.5 percent (or inflation clears 2.5 percent). For some time, members of the Federal Reserve Board — most prominently Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans — have called for the central bank to set an explicit unemployment target. Previously, the Fed only gave a date for the end of its actions, not an economic indicator. As Washington Post economic reporter Neil Irwin put it, "The Evans Rule is now the rule of the monetary land."

Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Aggressive, Recurrent Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is the treatment of choice for patients whose lymphoma has relapsed.[1] Preliminary studies indicate that approximately 20% to 40% of patients will have a long-term disease-free status, but the precise percentage depends on patient selection and the specific treatment used. Preparative drug regimens have varied; some investigators also use total-body irradiation. Similar success has been achieved using autologous marrow, with or without marrow purging, and allogeneic marrow.[2,3,4,5,6]
In a prospective randomized study, known as the EORTC-PARMA trial, 215 patients in first or second relapse of aggressive lymphoma, younger than 60 years, and with no bone marrow or central nervous system involvement, were given two cycles of intensive combination chemotherapy. The 109 patients who responded were randomly assigned to receive four more cycles of chemotherapy and involved-field radiation therapy (IF-XRT) versus autologous BMT followed by IF-XRT. With a 5-year median follow-up, the event-free survival was significantly improved with transplantation (46% vs. 12%). Overall survival (OS) was also significantly better with transplantation (53% vs. 32%).[7][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Salvage BMT was unsuccessful for patients on the nontransplant arm whose disease relapsed.
In general, patients who responded to initial therapy and who have responded to conventional therapy for relapse prior to the BMT have had the best results.[8] In a prospective trial, patients who relapsed late (>12 months after diagnosis) had better OS than patients who relapsed earlier (8-year survival was 29% vs. 13%, P = .001).[9][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] Peripheral stem cell transplantation has yielded results equivalent to standard autologous transplantation.[10,11] Even patients who never experienced complete remission with conventional chemotherapy may have prolonged progression-free survival (31% at 5 years) after high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation if they retain chemosensitivity to reinduction therapy.[12][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiii] Some patients who relapse after a previous autologous transplantation can have durable remissions after myeloablative or nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation.[13,14];[15][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiv] Since toxic effects can be severe, and patients require specialized team management, BMT should be done at institutions that have the appropriate expertise and resources available.
In general, retreatment with standard agents rarely produces a cure in patients whose lymphomas relapse.[16] Several salvage chemotherapy regimens are available.[17,18,19] Rituximab, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, can induce responses in 33% of patients with relapsing aggressive lymphoma of appropriate phenotype (CD20-positive).[20];[21][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiv] Radiolabeled anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine-131 tositumomab and yttrium-90 ibritumomab, induce 60% to 80% response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.[22,23];[24][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiv] Denileukin diftitox, a fusion protein combining diphtheria toxin and interleukin-2, resulted in a 25% objective response rate in 45 heavily pretreated patients, as evidenced in E-1497, for example, with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (CD25, i.e., interleukin-2 receptor, expression was not correlated with response).[25][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiv]
The indolent lymphomas may relapse with an aggressive histology (i.e., histologic conversion). The durability of the second remission may be short, and clinical trials, such as autologous or allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation, should be considered.[26,27,28,29] Durable responses to radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies have been reported for transformed low-grade B-cell lymphoma.[22,23] Not infrequently, an aggressive lymphoma may relapse as a small cell (indolent) lymphoma. Such a situation occurs with indolent lymphoma in the bone marrow and aggressive lymphoma in a nodal site. Patients may present in such a manner, and chemotherapy might successfully eradicate the peripheral disease while failing to eliminate the small cell component from the bone marrow. The clinical significance and natural history of this pattern of disease is not well defined. In general, patients with aggressive lymphoma who relapse with indolent histology will benefit from palliative therapy.[30]
Palliation may be achieved with very low-dose (4 Gy) IF-XRT for patients with indolent and aggressive relapsed disease.[31]

Harkin Statement on the "Smart Snacks in School" Regulations
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) issued the following statement today after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that under the new "Smart Snacks in School" nutrition standards, America's students will be offered healthier food options during the school day. Harkin is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services. Prior to his HELP chairmanship, Harkin was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Harkin was also the author of the Child Nutrition Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act, which was enacted into law as part of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, and which provided the authority under which USDA promulgated the Smart Snacks in School Regulations.
"Prodded by parents who rightly want schools to support their efforts to raise healthy kids, we've made steady progress in improving the nutrition environment in American schools. In 2002, Congress created the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to high poverty elementary schools. In the last several years, schools have worked hard to improve the nutritional quality of school meals. And now, with the release of a final rule on smart snacks, we'll put in place common sense nutrition guidelines for snack foods and beverages sold in school stores, vending machines, and snack bars, closing a loophole that for too long has undermined the health and nutrition of our kids.
"With these standards in place, parents can rest assured that their child's lunch won't consist of a sugary drink, a bag of chips, and a candy bar. To the credit of state legislatures, parents, school administrators, and the food and beverage industry, full calorie sodas have been disappearing from our schools. This rule goes a step further by also limiting high calorie sports drinks, a step recommended several years ago by the Institute of Medicine. It also puts in place reasonable portion sizes for all beverages in schools.
"In addition to limiting things like sugar, fats, and calories, the rule importantly also requires that school foods include a positive contribution by including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, or dairy products. This moves the public health conversation beyond one that is based just on restrictions toward a positive conversation that stressed the kinds of foods that all of us should be eating more of.
"For years, the junk food loophole in our schools has been big enough to drive a soda delivery truck through. In closing that loophole today, we take a giant step forward in creating a healthy school atmosphere that not only promotes the health of our children, but which also promotes the learning and development of our kids in general. I am grateful to all of the stakeholders – the public health community, education groups, certain food and beverage companies, and the Department of Agriculture – for working so hard to bringing this rule to fruition."

Adam Foulds poses for photographers before the Costa Book awards. Photograph: Luke MacGregor/Reuters
Well, so much for what I thought: I imagined that Diana Athill's Somewhere Towards the End would be at least down to the last two works in contention for the Costa book of the year award, announced last night. I wasn't, in fact, surprised that Sebastian Barry won for The Secret Scripture (my report is here), but it was certainly unusual, unheard of, even, for a chair of judges, in this case Matthew Parris, to be so very candid about how it nearly didn't get the prize – and how Adam Foulds's narrative poem The Broken Word just missed out on the £25,000 cheque.
In fact Parris, speaking to journalists last night, was almost brutally honest about the flaws that the judges had seen in Barry's novel. "The Broken Word jolly nearly pipped it to the post," he said. "The judges nearly all agreed that there was a lot wrong with it, that it was flawed. Almost no one liked the ending."

The books on the shortlist of the Costa books awards. Photograph: /PR
It's that time when thoughts turn to comparing apples with pears, cape gooseberries and subspecies of the Arctic tern: the Costa book of the year is announced tomorrow evening at 10.15pm, after the judges have weighed the relative merits of a populist first novel; a narrative poem; a 700-page children's book; a very slender memoir by a nonagenarian publisher; and a highly wrought literary novel by one of Ireland's most respected authors.
So which book should win it? And which book will win it? Continue reading...

LINDSAY LOHAN reacted to news about her newly revealed secret half-sister, ASHLEY HORN, during her appearance on "Good Morning America" earlier today.
And by the looks of it, she had no idea that she even had one…
During her lengthy interview on "Good Morning America" today as part of her promotion for her Elizabeth Taylor biopic on Lifetime, "Liz & Dick," Lindsay Lohan faced a question about her estranged dad, Michael, being the confirmed as the father of a 17-year-old love child named Ashley Horn during a televised DNA test on "The Tricia Goddard Show" yesterday.
The answer, however, was quite unexpected as the actress seemed to be learning about her secret half-sister for the first time.
LiLo, who let her jaw hang for a millisecond after being asked, told host Amy Robach:
"I didn't even hear that, so thanks for the news, I don't pay attention to any of it."
But then again, she's an actress. She was probably could have been lying about her knowledge of Ashley since the latter and her mom already made press four years ago when they wanted money insisted on child support from Michael.
Or perhaps Lindsay simply got confused with her illegitimate siblings since Michael is currently expecting another child with his knocked up ex-girlfriend, Kate Major.
Either way, she obviously doesn't care about any kind of news about her dad.
She admitted:
"I don't even wanna get into that, because I wanna stay on the positive side of things."
The actress seemed to lighten up when she talked about her movies, including her upcoming lackluster retro flick, "The Canyons," her ride as Liz Taylor and keeping herself on set where "it's safer."
Check out her reaction below following the 2:20 mark:

The Illusionist is one of a dying breed of stage entertainers. With emerging rock stars stealing his thunder in the late 1950s, he is forced to accept increasingly obscure assignments in fringe theatres, at garden parties and in bars and cafes. Then, while performing in a village pub off the west coast of Scotland, he encounters Alice, an innocent young girl, who will change his life forever. Watching his performance for the excited villagers who are celebrating the arrival of electricity on their remote island, Alice is awestruck by his show and believes his tricks are real magic.
Though they don enthusiasm for his act, The Illusionist rewards Alice with increasingly lavish gifts he has 'conjured' into existence. Desperate not to disappoint her, he cannot bring himself to reveal that magic does not exist and that he pretend. Untangled from his own web of deceit, he resumes his life as a much wiser man.

If you've been riding along with me for any length of time, you know I get really revved up whenever I talk about the "Mobile Wave" in technology.
The truth is, I can't help it: I look at the forecasts, calculate all the money that can be made, and end up feeling as jazzed as can be about the windfall profits we can reap from this transformational trend.
And I'm not the only one who's feeling this technology-fueled ebullience: The folks over at Amazon.com are clearly experiencing the same adrenalin-driven affliction.
Amazon, you see, is coming out with its own smartphone.
And not just any smartphone. Amazon's entry into smartphone derby is going to be one cool mobile device - highlighted by a 3D screen that will display photos so realistically that you'll want to just reach out and touch them.
Why in the world, you might ask, is an "e-tailer" entering the wireless-phone business?
Just look at the numbers.
One billion consumers will have smartphones by 2016, says a brand-new report by Forrester Research. American consumers alone will own 257 million smartphones and 126 million tablets.
The worldwide work force will be revolutionized by the Mobile Wave: By 2016, 350 million workers around the world will be using smartphones - and 200 million of those folks will "bring their own" ... even covering half the costs themselves.
But here's the capper: Over the next three years, global spending on the Mobile Wave will grow to $1.3 trillion - or 35% of the world technology economy.
Now you can see why Amazon wants a slice of that pie.
And you should feel the same way: The Mobile Wave is one of the single-best ways for you to generate life-altering profits in just a few short years.
But Amazon isn't the pony you want to bet on - it's more of a longshot. The stock is overpriced, and the company is so big that even a hit product won't meaningfully benefit sales or profits.
There are actually much easier ways to double or even triple your money over the next two, three or four years - as the mobile wave hits its stride.
And I'm going to show you one of my favorite ones today ...
The Mobile Wave: The Planet's Most Investable Tech Trend
There's never been anything quite like the Mobile Wave.
Just look what it's done to the PC - the last tech device that really revolutionized the world.
Global PC sales totaled 76.3 million units during the first quarter of the year, according to researcher IDC.
That sounds like a lot until you compare it with global smartphone shipments - which came in at 373 million units during the same period, says market research firm Strategy Analytics.
That's about a 5-1 ratio... and is what I call decisive.
So we know that a lot of smartphones are being sold. And we even know the companies that are selling them - firms like Apple Inc., HTC, Samsung... and soon Amazon.
But here's where you need to separate opportunity from hype - the essence of Rule No. 2 on our list of the Five Tech-Investing-Wealth Rules we've talked about at length over the past few weeks. You see, most of the companies that I listed here aren't "pure play" investments, meaning we'd face the same profit challenges that I just detailed for Amazon.
The best way to make big money from the Mobile Wave is to identify class-of-the-field supplier firms. These are the entrants who provide such key "enabling" technologies as software, applications, bandwidth, security and digital-payment systems.
But the best-of-breed profit plays here may be the components firms - the ventures that make and market the parts that go inside the smartphones themselves.
In other words ... the specialists.
I like these companies a lot because the best ones have unique, patented technologies, and "play the field" by providing those components to multiple manufacturers. The great thing about that is no matter which phone is tearing up the market, we win big.
Take the case of InvenSense Inc. (NYSE: INVN), a double-your-money profit opportunity that meets all of my criteria for generating high-tech wealth.
As a Mobile Wave participant, this components provider easily meets Rule No. 3 - by riding an unstoppable trend.
In fact, InvenSense is actually riding two. The Sunnyvale-based firm is all about a critical area known as "motion sensing" - a newly emergent sub-trend that's fueling the Mobile Wave. And InvenSense know-how doesn't just go into smartphones; you'll find it in tablet computers and a wide range of consumer electronics - including gaming consoles and smart TVs that connect to the Internet.
InvenSense forged its reputation on older tech - in gaming consoles like those for Nintendo's original Wii. That's no longer a growth sector.
But mobile is, and thanks to InvenSense's operational excellence (Rule No. 1), the "Wave" today accounts for 80% of the company's sales.
The company actually made itself very relevant by focusing on the growth portions of the mobile wave (Rule No. 4).
The main reason smartphones and tablets have exploded in popularity is that businesses and consumers can do so many things with them - thanks to the "mobile apps" that let you play games, get driving directions, make reservations, watch your favorite movie or TV show, shop for deals, "drive" a steam locomotive or the RMS Titanic - the possibilities are endless.
The worldwide mobile apps market is projected to zoom from about $18 billion in 2012 to $56 billion in 2015, and InvenSense has two key technologies that make apps possible.
One is gyroscopes - a big deal because those tiny gadgets you can't actually see are what allow you to turn your smart phone upside down ... and have the screen turn with it. InvenSense itself says that shipments of gyroscopes used in smartphones could grow to 358 million units next year, up from 49 million back in 2010.
The other InvenSense contribution is embedded compasses.
I have several apps on my phone that need to know pretty much my exact location to fully function. And for that you need an embedded compass.
(If you don't think this is vital, think about how you'd get turn-by-turn walking or driving directions with no embedded compass. And how do you find your way to the restaurant where you have a reservation five minutes from now if your phone doesn't know where you are?)
InvenSense considers its technology to be so unique that it this week filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against STMicroelectronics NV, claiming the Swiss firm ripped off its motion-sensor technology.
But don't let that patent action - which has become much more commonplace in recent years -obscure the key point here: InvenSense is a stock that has double-your-money potential (Rule No. 5).
At a price of roughly $13 a share - about one-twentieth of Amazon's - InvenSense has a market value of $1.1 billion. And it's got much more of an upside than the e-tailer-turned-smartphone-venture.
INVN has both a profit margin and a return on stockholders' equity (ROE) of 24%. It trades at a forward Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of only 14. It has $175 million cash on hand and no debt.
Thus, InvenSense has everything we're looking for in a strategic tech investment: It's in a hot sector, is operationally excellent and has great fundamentals.
It's also a fast-grower.
Based on my analysis, I'm forecasting the company will increase earnings at an average annual rate of 25% over the next five years. That means the stock could very well double in less than three.
And doubling your money at a reasonable level of risk is the run for the roses here at the Strategic Tech Investor - the ultimate goal and the path we want to travel as we work together to build your wealth.
Wait 'til you see what we have planned for you next ...

Pioneering Hardcore Pornography as a Valid Discourse
In the early 1970s, following the high-profile release into mainstream cinemas of such hardcore pornographic works as Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door, adult cinema began to be scrutinized by mainstream critics.
It was felt that hardcore was a genre which was potentially as valid as any other and should be held critically accountable. Just as the genre was being legitimized by these works, so too it began to get more ambitious thanks in part to many of the practitioners attracted to it – directors as much concerned with the nature of explicit sex as they were for the possibilities of the medium. It was the golden age of porn as a genre. One such practitioner was Henry Paris. Paris was a pseudonym for mainstream director Radley Metzger, effectively the first ever recognized "name" director to cross over into adult cinema. Metzger had made a name for himself with high-class sophisticated erotica very European in look and design. Indeed, Metzger has sensed the visionary potential of such European soft-core erotica and when he bought the rights to and slightly re-edited the controversial film I, a Woman effectively opening up the US market to sophisticated erotica. He continued to explore this field in his own soft-core works, such as Camille 2000 but the next step for Metzger was to embrace explicit hardcore in The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann followed by the classic The Opening of Misty Beethoven.
Synopsis (contains spoilers)
The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann is a comedy which follows the exploits of the title character and her friends as seen through the perspective of a private eye (a character type that was enormously popular in the early days of porn cinema).
A homosexual client watches an incriminating film of his partner made by a private detective. The detective is then hired by a husband who feels that his wife – the title character Pamela Mann (Barbara Bourbon) – is doing something sexual outside the confines of their marriage. The detective then follows Bourbon around, observing her sexual behavior with an assortment of strangers. Bourbon has a friend, a prostitute (Georgina Spelvin), with whom she shares a lesbian encounter after Spelvin has confided in her the details of her work day – which included pretending to be seduced into converting an actor pretending to be gay. Bourbon is approached on a park bench by a man and a woman and led away (the sex scene that would normally follow this, involving veteran Jamie Gillis, has been "self-censored" by the distributors as inappropriate for contemporary audiences). In a sign of the liberal times, Bourbon and Spelvin smoke a joint. After her usual park pickups, Bourbon confronts the private eye hired to follow her and the two of them get involved. The detective then returns to the husband, telling him that he can't continue – but this may be part of the husband's plan.
Henry Paris and the Sexually Explicit Comedy of Manners
Paris' first hardcore film is a slyly knowing comedy which cleverly invokes social standards concerning sexual mores and gently satirizes sexual behavior.
It is a self-conscious film well aware of the need – imposed upon by the censors of the day – to "justify" all sexually explicit depictions with socially relevant content. Thus, as a running gag, a young college student asks Bourbon a series of political questions at inopportune moments throughout the movie. It is as if Paris is merely gently playing with the current conventions of explicitness, balancing in the process emotional honesty, comedic sexuality (an hilarious running gag about a secretary who dons a bib and watches as a mail delivery man jerks off onto her face, afterwards merely commenting "that's really disgusting" until she eventually succumbs to the impetus to fellate him) and a sly discourse about the playfulness of human inter-relationships. As so much of the film depicts this sensibility of playfulness, the sex is tender (except for the scene that has been removed from the movie, which reportedly introduced a darker side into the movie) and naturally erotic, Paris concentrating on bodies in pleasure. What is perhaps most remarkable about this film is its sly script and its ability to combine eroticism and humor into what is a very humanistic celebration of 1970s swinger morality. It is teasing and playful and contains an uplifting approach to human sexuality.
At the time of its cinema release, The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann was hailed as one of the best porno films ever made.
Although time may have disproved that somewhat, the film remains a valuable social document of the genre at both its most self-consciously ambitious and simultaneously playful. In it Henry Paris perfects the use of explicitness as a necessary adjunct to the exploration of human sexual inter-connectedness. Sex is vital to human conduct and is for Paris something to be celebrated as liberating. Thus the film's final revelation of the games played between consenting husband and wife serves effectively to contrast what Paris feels is a liberated playfulness with the kind of paranoia he associates with traditional mores as represented by marriage. Thus, he knowingly begins the film on the hook that a husband could distrust his wife enough to have her followed (perhaps symbolic of the traditional Patriarchal fear of female sexual liberation as espoused at that time) only to subvert this notion by revealing that it is all a consensual game between a man and a woman who enjoy an open marriage. This implied contrast between traditional fidelity and liberational promiscuity may date the film but clearly marks it as an embrace of carnality as the means to true emotional fulfillment and personal liberation. It is in the full celebration of sexual behavior that this film emerges as a joyously optimistic comedy.
The Naturalism of 16mm Cinematography
The visual transfer in fullscreen is full of artifacts but preserves the seedy naturalism of porn films of the era shot cheaply on 16mm film.
It has a sense of spontaneity and comedy all too lacking from contemporary glossy porno flicks. The two running gags – the secretary wearing the bib and the student asking political questions – are handled knowingly and even function as neat punctuation marks in the narrative. The sex scenes are quick and there is a notable use of slow motion in one ejaculation scene – romanticizing the male orgasm as "art" – as well as effective backlighting of the genital action so that penetration and copulation are shown in near silhouette. Handheld work features alongside more regimented camera work and there is a concern for the natural look of bodies in sexual congress. Georgina Spelvin's scenes are a wonderful reminder of what a natural porn actress she was and the fine lesbian number between Bourbon and Spelvin is truly beautiful, poetic and delicate in its tender and sexy realization by Paris – the tender cunnilingus scene evokes a rare concern for the true affection felt in sexual congress and enhances the sense of the celebration of sexuality found in this film. There is tremendous variety to the sex scenes and exquisite use is made in the film's final sequence of montage effects: it is here that Paris reveals his truly cinematic flair for explicit sexuality as art.
The Self-Conscious Humour of Sex and Sexy Talk
The sound transfer is available in Dolby digital mono only but it is true to the limitations of the era and the initial design of the movie.
The score is delightfully light and bubbly, well in keeping with the film's comedic tone. It is perhaps Europeanized in its free, open blending of diegetic and non-diegetic sound as when the score blends with the whirring of the private detective's not-so-hidden camera. The script is always knowing and self-conscious with many references to voyeurism and undeniably playful. The use of overlapping dialogue in some scenes is effective. Balancing evocative rock and romantic allusion, the score is quite elaborate and attuned to the balance of humanist comedy and behavioral observation in the movie. Such ambient effects as traffic noise and a sudden storm work well to ground the film in a naturalistic and open sense of place as does Paris' use of locations, both interior and exterior. Both score and dialogue vary from scene to scene and there is an emphasis on minor characterization in supporting roles which is always engaging. The script also boasts some clever innuendo, typical of its sense of playful knowingness and some of the dialogue attempts to place the film in the context of then contemporary socio-political issues, whilst playfully lampooning this same drive to contextualize sexual behavior accordingly. The piano accompaniment to the final montage scene is also well sustained.
Treats for the Devout Pornhound
The DVD release boasts a decent special features package.
There is a cast information page, a photo gallery and a selection of behind-the-scenes production stills. Of interest is a nifty hall of fame photo gallery narrated by Jim Holliday which offers shots of and profiles such well-known adult film star luminaries as Ginger Lynn, Ron Jeremy, Marilyn Chambers, John Leslie, Joey Silvera, Peter North, John Holmes, Sharon Mitchell, Tom Byron, Vanessa del Rio and Christy Canyon. Also featured are the original box art and the original press book. A "classic comments" section features some commentary by Jim Holliday about the missing Jamie Gillis scene and the film in general, serving as a useful introduction. Distributor contact and internet details are also featured. Also found is a commentary track by veteran actress / producer Veronica Hart and performer Eric Edwards (the detective). They speak of the main differences between film and video, the aesthetics of the 1970s as opposed to contemporary porn and the use of long versus short sex scenes. It is a light commentary track, by veterans reminiscing of the old days of the adult industry and is loose, engaging rather than insightful into the film itself. They talk of filming fellatio, filming the process of the male erection (getting hard – rarely seen in contemporary porn), the missing Gillis scene and the intricacies of Paris' aesthetics at work.

There are few times in today's society when we have the chance to do something great. Something that helps many people, knowing you may not receive a thanks in return.
Today, someone at work stepped up to that challenge.
There is nothing worse than going to the bathroom only to find out post-potty that there is no toilet paper left!
Thanks to this anonymous person...that won't be happening in our building today.
(Note reads "No Toilet Paper")
Whoever you are toilet-paper-note-leaver....thank you.
Now we just have to track down whoever is leaving these goldmines on top of the the urinal....

Yes, Virginia, there is a Michael Jackson hologram. And it moonwalks.
As promised, an MJ hologram appeared at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night, dancing around to the recently released "Slave to the Rhythm" from the singer's posthumous Xscape album.

UnitedHealth's profit fuels health insurer stocks
Industry bellwether UnitedHealth blows away analyst expectations in the first earnings report under new healthcare rules. With video on insurance stocks.
Insurers were all doom and gloom about the healthcare overhaul, but things don't seem too bad for them today.
UnitedHealth Group (UNH), widely viewed as a bellwether for the industry, reported a better-than-expected 13% increase in profit for the first quarter. It was the first earnings report among large insurers under new spending rules from last year's healthcare law, Reuters reported.
Health-insurer stocks rose in response, with many hitting 52-week highs, as investors cheered the news. UnitedHealth's stock price hit a 52-week high of $48.90, but closed the day up 8% to $47.81.
Post continues after video:
UnitedHealth reported a $1.35 billion profit, or $1.22 a share, up from $1.19 billion a year earlier. That blew away analyst expectations of 89 cents a share. Revenue rose 9.7% to $25.43 billion, far more than the $24.95 billion analysts were expecting.
Even more encouraging was UnitedHealth's guidance for the full year. Earnings will now be between $3.95 and $4.05 a share, with revenue approaching $101 billion, the company said. Previously, UnitedHealth had estimated earnings at between $3.50 and $3.70 a share and revenue at $100 billion.
The healthcare law gave health insurers minimum spending levels for patient care this year, and that was concerning to shareholders. But UnitedHealth has several things going for it, including enrollment growth and increasing margins. Membership hit nearly 34 million at the end of March, a 5% increase. And people didn't seem to need as many medical services as expected.
"It was a great quarter," one Gleacher & Co analyst told Reuters. "The question has been what is enrollment going to look like and what are medical costs going to look like. And I'd say this pretty much confirms, at this point at any rate, the best hopes that you could have had."
UnitedHealth earnings fueled a rise today among other health insurers. WellPoint (WLP) closed up 4.1%, Cigna (CI) rose 3.2%, Humana (HUM) rose 1.3% and Coventry Health Care (CVH) was up 3.5%.
It is all about managing with mathematics/algorithms and the shining star in their 1st quarter as stated by the CEO is their IT investments, Ingenix, which is now called OptumInsight with their name changes and they have patents now for those algorithms and thus we need a department of algorithms to certify carriers and their formulas just like we do the electronic medical record vendors, only fair. The big change too here is the fact that healthcare for people is being handled like transaction and severe ethic problems are present with such paradigms and accounting.
Soon the UK is going to get a taste of this as well.

In general, there is less swelling after implant switching. This, however, is sometimes the problem. Since all implants have a capsule around them and since this capsule is like the inside of a baggie, any fluid (blood or transudate) will sit in this baggie, and not necessarily get absorbed. Therefore, I always put a drain in, bring it out through the axilla (armpit) and leave it in for a couple days.
If there is a capsular contracture or the pocket has to be enlarged for one reason or another, then you can expect a greater degree of swelling.

Forensic laboratories generally provide estimates of the frequency of a matching DNA profiles among members of three broad racial groups in North America: Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics.28 The frequency estimates are derived from data bases in which are recorded the DNA profiles of a large number of individuals (usually several hundred) from each racial group. The individuals profiled in the data bases are usually "convenience samples" of blood donors or paternity case litigants.
To generate frequency estimates that may be as rare as one in a billion, or even one in a trillion, from a data base of several hundred individuals, forensic laboratories typically follow a three-step procedure. First, they estimate the frequency of each allele in the DNA profile by simply counting to determine the proportion of people in the data base who have it. If two percent of the alleles (of a particular locus) are type A and three percent are type B, their frequencies would be stated as .02 and .03 respectively.
Second, they estimate the frequency of each genotype by using the formula 2pq, where p and q are the frequencies of the two alleles in the genotype. Suppose, for example, that a genotype consisted of alleles A and B. The frequency of genotype AB would be estimated to be 2 x .02 x .03 = .0012 (approximately 1 in 833).29 This formula assumes that the frequencies of the two alleles in a genotype are statistically independent and may significantly underestimate the frequency of genotypes if the allele frequencies are not independent.30
Third, they estimate the frequency of the overall DNA profile by multiplying the frequencies of each genotype. For example, suppose that there is a three-locus match between the suspect and the evide ntiary sample. At the first locus, both have genotype AB, which has an estimated frequency of 0.0012; at the second locus, both have genotype CD, which has an estimated frequency of 0.005; at the third locus both have genotype EF, which has an estimated frequency of 0.01. An analyst would typically report that the frequency of the overall profile, across the three loci, is .0012 x .005 x .01 = .00000006, or one in 16.7 million. This formula, sometimes called the product rule, assumes that the frequencies of the genotypes are statistically independent and may significantly underestimate the frequency of the multilocus genotype if the frequencies are not independent.31
28 Some laboratories divide Hispanics into subcategories (Southwestern and Southeastern Hispanics) and some include additional groups (e.g., Orientals, American Indians).
29 The product of the individual allele frequencies is multiplied by 2 because there are two ways a person can get a given genotype. A person may have genotype AB as a result of receiving A from his father and B from his mother, or vice versa. By analogy, there are two ways to roll number eleven with a pair of dice: a five on the first die and a six on the second, or vice-versa. Hence, the probability of rolling eleven is 2 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/18
30 When alleles at any genotype are statistically independent in a particular population, the population is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium . See NRC Report, p. 78.
31 When the genotypes at different loci are statistically independent in a given population, the population is said to be in linkage equilibrium. See NRC Report, p. 78-79.

LIVED: Circa 1850 – 9/21/1935
Born in Chino Canyon in the mid-1800s, Willie Pablo was from the Morongo reservation and resided periodically at Rincon Village (Andreas Canyon), the home of his panik clan mother. His father, Pablo Gabriel, was a wanikik clan leader.
Although Pablo was at one time captain of the Potrero (Morongo) Indians, the United States Indian Service, locally headed by a Protestant Indian Agent, refused to recognize his commission. Though the reasons cited were many, it is likely that Agent Horatio Rust worked against him in retaliation for promoting Cabezon's regional leadership and because Pablo identified as Catholic. Cabezon promoted Indian sovereignty by sending Indian rights advocates to Washington D.C. and by refusing to accept federal interference in tribal affairs. Agent Rust sought to have Pablo jailed so as to quell his "trouble-making."
Under the leadership of Cabezon, Captain Pablo was placed in charge of Coachella Valley Cahuilla groups, working closely with the panik clan at Andreas Canyon and the kauisik clan at the hot spring – the two clans that form the Agua Caliente Band.
Pablo became a major political figure who exerted influence throughout southern California. He advocated the maintenance of traditional leadership patterns in Native American communities and bitterly opposed the allotment system, convincing many reservations to reject it. He viewed allotments, being the individual parceling of formerly communal lands, as a way of dividing and conquering Indian communities. Pablo sought to set up a modern Indian government separate from the Bureau of Indian Affairs – a precursor to the Mission Indian Federation. He recruited lawyers and the media to pursue this agenda.
At the turn of the century, the Department of Indian Affairs began a crusade against the sale of alcohol and Pablo was employed as a prohibition officer. He also acted as the reservation's police officer, a position that his brother Henry Pablo later inherited.
Willie Pablo contributed to our modern understanding of Cahuilla culture by collaborating with ethnographers. In 1914, he shared the panik version of the Cahuilla creation story with photographer Edward S. Curtis. In 1918, Lucile Hooper recorded him and others performing bird songs, the oral literature of the Cahuilla people.
Maria Andreas Pablo, mother of Willie Pablo and thirteen other children, was known as both an expert basket weaver and as a net. Affiliated with the wanikik clan by marriage, she maintained a ceremonial house, or kishumna'a, at the Morongo Reservation until the 1930s. She died on June 1, 1938 at the age of 124.

Hi, I'm Melissa
I'm 29 yrs of age from New Zealand, I had three beautiful daughters (nearly 10,8and nearly 6).
when I was 12 I started to notice stretch marks on my hips, thigh and the back of my calfs, and later on my boobs, and because of these early signs when I fell pregnant at 19 I knew I wasn't going to stretch graciously.
My first pregnancy I ballooned to I don't know how much (I remember 10kgs by 20 weeks) when I got pregnant the second time I remember having a big round belly and a hanging flap underneath from my eldest.
I lost around 15 kgs and got married to my wonderful hubby (father of my girls) 17 months after at 64kgs
now another child added to the mix and after different methods I am back down to 66kgs at the moment and have excess skin and stretch marks that go from 1/2 way through my public hair line to 20cm above my belly button.
I had previously booked and paid a deposit for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation for Sept 12 in Thailand but after much disappointment (I think my mum was pleased though)this fell though because of $$ and my state of mind .
so here we are again, but this time I'm planning a NZ op... Im undecided on the location, I have a app for a consultation with a surgeon on Feb 3rd 2014 in Wellington Nz which is 7 hrs drive from my city, so the next update will prob be around then.

Hi. Who is going to be your surgeon? I am currently trying to find one but can't seem to find any reviews for the nelson area so am wondering whether to go further afield (although that might not be so convenient for follow ups)

Good luck sweetie. You should ask your ps if they have a financial care plan where you could make payments on your surgery like a car. We have that here in the USA

Thank you for the advice, I'll ask him that at my app, but if its not pos hubby said we'll put it on the mortgage

What a wonderful hubby!

The Martinsville Police Department is searching for whomever broke into and stole from Harbour Garage and Towing over the weekend.
Investigators say the break-in took place around 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 21st, when an alarm went off. When officers arrived, they found a side glass window broken.
The owner said a small amount of money was stolen, and some was dropped by the burglar on the way out of the building.
Police say surveillance video from a nearby business shows a person walking toward the garage just before the burglar alarm sounded. Then a car is seen on the video entering the parking lot shortly after the alarm goes off.
If you have any information, call the Martinsville Police Department at (276) 403-5328.
