Nextant Aerospace is showing its 400XTi small-cabin, light business jet at LABACE 2013, making it the model's Latin American debut and following up a visit last year by the company's 400XT. Brazil is seen as a major opportunity for the remanufactured version of the Beechjet 400A/XP, which Nextant believes is a perfect fit for many requirements in the region.
Business jet remanufacturer Nextant Aerospace bolstered its global sales team as it prepares to announce its next remanufactured model. Jay Heublein has been promoted to executive vice president of global sales and marketing. The Cleveland-based company also hired Peter Walker as vice president of sales for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, and Richard "Butch" Lang as U.S. regional sales director. Nextant recently delivered its 26th 400XT and has a more than $175 million backlog for these remanufactured Beechjets.
Nextant Aerospace of Cleveland, Ohio, will hand over the keys to the first of its remanufactured 400XTs at the NBAA 2011 Convention in Las Vegas at 2 p.m. on Monday.
Nextant Aerospace brushed off a communiqué sent by Hawker Beechcraft (HBC) on Friday warning it will not provide any support for aircraft modified without the Wichita manufacturer's "involvement or approval." The memo specifically mentions the Nextant 400XT, a remanufactured "zero time" Beechjet with new Williams FJ44-3AP engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionic

A delightfull dealership with exceptionally helpfull staff.
I got my new corsa from here, and Paul the salesmam was top notch, and knew his job off by heart, it was like a second skin to him. After service was brill. No problems here and very helpfull!
dont go any where this car dealer.they are so unprofessional and they lie all the time and they never return your calls.I tried to buy a car of them but they just didnt want to sell it to me ,they made things very difficult and they never give you figures in writing.It took them 4 weeks to get the finance approved and every time that i askd them who the finance company was and what the interest rate was they just wouldnt give me a clear and honest answer.I asked them what the monthly payments were and they just could not tell me.No business card no IDD and no KFI and they break all the FSA rules about financial services which is a strict code of practice laid down by the Financial Services Authority who regulate financial services.this dealer just strung me along as I gave him a deposit for the car and I did everything that was asked of me but they are so hateful and ignorant that I just cant believe the way that they treated me.I now have got my deposit back as they sent me packing and I am now going to another SEAT dealer to buy a car so beware dont ever go near WILSONS OF RATHKENNY to buy a car as you will break down crying and you will feel hurt and unwelcome.The car had stone chippings and they told me if I wanted it painted that I would have to pay for it.when you call them they always seen to have someone else waiting and you feel that you are so unimportant to them and all you want to do is buy a car from them.Made a complaint to SEAT about them and they lied saying that it was me who strung them along what a disgrace when it took four weeks to get the finance approved.they just make up excuses all the time about everything,they dont know how to tell the truth and be professional and honest.SEAT are actually believing them which is amazing as it took me 2 hours to write a complaint to them, how and why would you make this up.this is not the first time that this has happened as i bought a car last year and they told me what the figures were butwhen go to sign the finance forms it was 25 pounds per month more exepensive and a row broke out as they again denied that they told me the figures that they first scribbled down on a bit of paper with a pencil,and the same thing happened again this time around only the service levels are 100 time worse.SO BE WARNED DONT EVER GO TO THIS CAR DEALER CALLED WILSONS OF RATHKENNY IF YOU WANT TO BUY A CAR.go to a dealer who will shake you hand, tell you his name ask your name,give you a business card,make you a cup of tea,tell you that the finance is approved,tell you who the finance company is,give you an IDD AND KFI DOCUMENT WHICH IS LAW BY FSA STANDARDS,who will be truthful and honest and keep you up to date,and who wants your business not turn you away and be cheeky and use foul language towards you,who will not make you travel 2 hours to see them and not even be there when you get therebecaue if you go to WILSONS OF RATHKENNY then this is the service levels that you should expect as this is exactly what happened to me.SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Meet Elizabeth Strong, the Director of Study Away Programs
Elizabeth Strong serves as the Director of Study Away Programs at Missouri State University. In this capacity, she provides the vision and leadership for the program, collaborates with faculty to develop short term programs, refines education abroad policies and procedures, and serves as the health and safety analyst for the University's program, while supporting efforts to internationalize the Missouri State community.
She holds a B.A. in Economics from Salem College, Winston-Salem, NC and an MBA from Missouri State University. Prior to her role in the Study Away office, Elizabeth served the University in the Citizenship and Service-Learning office, where student participation grew from under 300 to over 2,000 in 10 years. She was selected as an Engaged Scholar with National Campus Compact based on her work in reflection and critical thinking.
At home, Elizabeth enjoys life with her husband, John, and four teenagers. Elizabeth's outside interests include running and hiking. She has completed 6 marathons and 10 half marathons. Hiking adventures have included Mount Washington, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Perhaps her most memorable and educational experiences have been her travels outside the United States. These journeys include a senior year study abroad program in Europe, and trips of varying lengths to the United Kingdom, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. In 2012, Elizabeth traveled to Amsterdam, and then to Zambia for a safari.
Meet Miko McFarland, Study Away Advisor
"As a former Missouri State study away student, I understand the value of a global experience during formative college years. As Study Away Advisor, it has become my passion to facilitate education abroad programs so Missouri State students can pursue cultural competency and gain holistic worldviews. Influencing the lives of students through international education is the greatest gift. I cannot imagine a higher purpose to serve in a globalizing world."
Miko McFarland became the Study Away Programs Advisor in 2010 upon completing her B.A. in Anthropology and Master of International Affairs and Administration at Missouri State University.
While in college, Miko funded her studies as professional rodeo trick rider. Realizing that such a career has its "physical limits," this adrenaline junkie sought new adventures studying and working abroad in Mexico, Japan, and the Netherlands, learning Spanish and Japanese along the way. As the Study Away Advisor, Miko advises students throughout their entire study abroad experience. She is the main contact for all affiliate and reciprocal exchange partners, serves as the ISEP Coordinator, and sits on ISEP's Council of Advisors. She enjoys working with students to make their study abroad plans a reality, and will enthusiastically engage any fellow equestrian in horsetalk.
Miko loves traveling, learning about other cultures, and sharing this passion with students. She also serves as the coach and advisor for the Missouri State University Trick Riding Association (old habits die hard). She shares seven years of marriage with her wonderful husband, Chadd, and together they are proudly owned by a spoiled Boston Terrier and several mischievous horses. When Miko is not advising students, rest assured you will find her performing at the nearest rodeo or out riding the trail!
Allyson Handley, Special Projects Coordinator
"Walking in someone else's shoes is a privilege, not a threat to self-identity. Studying away from your home university is one of the best ways to broaden your knowledge of everyday life for people around the globe, and stepping out of your own comfort zone allows you to consider ideas in a light to which you may not have been previously exposed. In my opinion, there is no more important skill to cultivate in the 21st century."
Allyson Handley became the Study Away Programs Special Projects Coordinator in September of 2012. She was born and raised in Michigan, and still misses the Great Lakes. She holds a B.A. in Political Science and International Relations from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, and a M.A. in German and European Studies from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Allyson has worked and traveled abroad in the Middle East, Africa, western Europe, and Canada. Her favorite cities worldwide are Edinburgh, Cairo, and Washington, D.C. She speaks German and Spanish, and some Gulf Arabic (but don't ask her anything complicated). She reads French, Polish, and Dutch, and hopes to continue to improve her skills in these and other languages. In the office, her duties include working with incoming international exchange students, advising MSU students at all phases of their study abroad plans, and communication and writing projects. She loves her daily contact with students, parents, and the university community.
Prior to coming to Missouri State, Allyson worked at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Qatar, where she was one of the first four people "on the ground" in the capital city of Doha during the start-up of SFSQ, handling university admissions, advising, business relations, and, well, most everything else. If you ever plan to open a branch university within a three month timeframe, Allyson will advise you of the general insanity of that plan. She loved her time in Qatar, however, and counts the people she met during that time among her closest friends and colleagues to date.
Allyson has a daughter, Samantha, who turned six years old in 2012, and a husband, Scott, who actually remembered their 10th anniversary that same year, although he cannot remember to pick up a gallon of milk at the store. Nevertheless, they are an extremely happy family, and are owned by two Qatari cats that still wake up and meow loudly in preparation for the pre-dawn Islamic call to prayer.
Meet Marian Green, Administrative Assistant
The Study Away office has been home to Marian for 12 years and she enjoys serving as the office historian. As the Administrative Assistant she keeps the bills paid, students registered, and the staff supplied with chocolate.
Marian likes to travel. In the past five years she has traveled internationally to El Salvador and China and her travels in the US include Colorado, Maine and Alaska. Her big dream vacation is to spend a couple of weeks in Italy.
As much as she enjoys traveling, Marian loves staying at home with her "fur" babies – a big gray and white cat named Patches and a bouncy puppy named Coco.
Meet Denise Medforth, Accounting Specialist
As a native Georgian, Denise brings a touch of Southern charm to the Study Away office. Her 14 years of accounting experience provides financial assistance to faculty members who are leading short-term study away programs.
Denise has visited many places over the years which include England, France, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Scotland, Canada and Hawaii. She one day hopes to see Japan, Ireland, Australia and Alaska.
Her interests include playing piano, singing, teaching Sunday school, gardening and listening to various types of music. She's been married for 32 years, has two grown daughters, and lives with her husband and two Shih Tzu dogs (Oscar and Gracie) in the countryside of Missouri.

Food Blogging Features
Cookbook theme will automatically list all your tags on the sidebar. To do this, just make sure you have "Show Popular Tags" turned on in customization settings. This will collect all tags that have been used at least once (so that "one-off" tags won't clog up the sidebar).
You can take this feature one step further by also enabling "custom tags". To do this turn on "Show Custom Tag Nav" in customization settings. When this is turned on, Cookbook theme will display any tags listed in the "Custom Tags" textfield in its own list on the sidebar. Simply seperate your Custom Tags by comma like this:
Sounds a bit confusing? Don't worry here's a practical example of how tags work with Cookbook theme:
This is a post that's a link to a Bagel recipe. The post has four tags: "bagels", "baking", "breakfast" and "new york".
With "Show Popular Tags" turned on and "Show Custom Tags" turned off, this is what will display on the sidebar:
Now here's the sidebar again, but this time with "Show Popular Tags" and "Show Custom Tags" turned on:
As you can see the tag "baking" is not on the popular tags list, it is underneath it's own list underneath "Recipes".
The title of the list, "Recipes", is set in customization settings under "Custom Tags Title". The title for popular tags, which is default set to "Popular Tags" is set under "Popular Tags Title".
The Cookbook theme demo uses Custom Tags to display recipes. As you can see the list is titled "Recipes". You can use custom tags for whatever you want - even if you aren't a food blogger!
Including time and serves in Recipe posts
As you can see in this text post, after the first paragraph there is text showing how many people the recipe caters for and how much time the recipe will take to make.
To get this to show up on your text posts, simply add tags with a prefix of "serves:" and "time:" and Cookbook theme will pick it up and insert it into the post for you!
For example, here's a text post that serves 4 people and takes 45 minutes. This is what the post has been tagged with:
Print friendly pages
You can display a 'Print' link for text and photo posts. If you don't want this to display just make sure "Show Print Link" is turned off in customization settings. The Print link will open the post in a new page with a less cluttered layout and will then trigger the browser / device to print the post.

Street Fight :: The explosion in digital advertising isn't producing much business for top news sites, according to a new Pew report. Even though digital advertising is estimated to grow 40% by 2015, according to Pew, the research center said few major sites were capturing any share of this new cornucopia. If that's the story with bigger sites, what, I wondered, was happening among the more than 3,000 hyperlocal news sites, which, by my estimate, reach 25 million people — a big chunk of the consumer market that advertisers covet. How are they responding to new digital approaches that merchants and other businesses are beginning to use to connect with consumers beyond banners and other now-ancient display ads?

Less Than Zero (original 1985; edition 1998)
by Bret Easton Ellis
Work details
Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis (1985)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Profoundly disturbing.
Catcher in the Rye with cocaine.
The defense I see most often of Ellis is: "You just don't get the joke." And could there be a more annoying defense? How can you even respond to that? It's meaningless.
And it's not a joke. It's satire; that's totally different.
I spent tonight arguing about Ellis with some very smart contrarians, and here's what they said: Ellis has captured the soulless Me First Generation, and their failure to connect with life, in a really effective way. He refuses his rival David Foster Wallace's edict that literature has to solve something; he insists, with merciless implacability, on simply showing it to you. No solutions, no conclusions.
They're right, and that's not valueless. Ellis has achieved something. I actually know these people - not Ellis' caricatures of them, but the real people - and I see what he's describing.
The only problem is here's the first sentence of this book: "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles." This is a metaphor, I happen to know because I was an English major, and it's fucking stupid. And it's his big theme! This! People are afraid to merge! Like he's discovered some grand truth! He'll return to it like fifty times!
So. It's not a useless book. It's a decent satire of shallow pop culture sociopathy. Like Wallace, Ellis is concerned with connection: he wants us to engage with life. (To "merge," even!) Unlike Wallace, he refuses to make helpful suggestions; if you're irritated by Wallace's desperately wide-eyed sincerity, Ellis might speak to you.
But for fuck's sake, it is all awfully tedious.
Impressive and thought-provoking for a first novel written by a 20-year old. It feels a little contrived or over-done at times, but is a good book. Definitely worth reading.
I couldn't get the movie version out of my head and I think that affected how I felt about the novel. There are many differences, things that happen in the novel that didn't make it into the movie and vice versa. The novel seemed flat compared to the movie - it didn't get close enough to any of the characters for me to feel attached to them. In some ways, this seemed more fitting. Certainly the novel lives up to its title. The net emotional effect was "less than zero." The audio version from Audible came with a fifteen-minute interview with the author, which was interesting. He said (approximately) that many readers seemed to view the novel as a way to live vicariously through and see into the lives of these rich teenagers, when what he meant to write was something more critical about their place in society and the effects of their lives on others and themselves. I fell somewhere in between.
The narrator, Clay, and his friends - who have names like Rip, Blair, Kim, Cliff, Trent and Alana - all drive BMW's and Porsches, hang out at the Polo Lounge and Spago, and spend their trust funds on designer clothing, porno films and, of course, liquor and drugs. None of them, so far as the reader can tell, has any ambitions, aspirations, or interest in the world at large. And their philosophy, if they have any at all, represents a particularly nasty combination of EST and Machiavelli: ''If you want something, you have the right to take it. If you want to do something, you have the right to do it.''

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679781498, Paperback)Set in Los Angeles in the early 1980's, this coolly mesmerizing novel is a raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age, in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money a place devoid of feeling or hope.
Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.

This is an ongoing review as I just had my procedure yesterday.
About me...
I am 33 years old and have never had kids (but am planning to in the future). I am in decent shape, but could never loose the fat around my abdomen. I'm 5'9" and around 165 pounds, so I was in a pretty healthy weight range, and exercise regularly (mostly functional weight training/heaving lifting/spinning and interval training) about four to five times a week. Two weeks prior to surgery I started working out in the morning and evening. I did this because I thought it might help with recovery.
I am off work most of the summer, with some work days booked here and there. I'm lucky that I have the flexibility to have so much time off. I cleared my calendar for 6 days after surgery and my job is not very active on most days.
I have never had any type of surgery elective or otherwise since I was a kid (tonsillitis). Needless to say I was terrified about having surgery I didn't need and the potential horrible outcomes. I'm trying to be as comprehensive as possible in this review in hopes of helping anyone else that might be in the same boat as me. If anyone has more detailed questions please feel free to PM me.
Pre-op consultation and before...
I saw several doctors and chose my doctor based on his certification and experience doing the procedure. He does think kind of lipo up to several times a day. He was no nonsense (which I like) and wasn't trying to sell me on anything I didn't want to do. His office staff is awesome and made me feel at ease. They were willing to answer all my questions, which I'm sure they hear a million times.
During my consultation the doctor was realistic with me regarding outcomes, recovery time, etc. He mentioned that individuals closer to goal weight and who regularly exercise usually recover faster. I had pretty much already made me decision to have it done, it was just down to choosing a doctor. I scheduled my appointment for exactly 7 days later. The doctor had told me that my skin elasticity was good, which I had a feeling he would. I've lost about 30 pounds over the last two years and haven't experienced any sagging. The only place I can't loose is in the gut!
The office manager and nurse when over pre-op stuff and what I would need to do. I started taking the Arnica and vitamins the Monday before surgery.
Day of surgery...
I was pretty nervous, but OK the day of surgery. My best friend drove me and she was a great calming force. The office staff was again great and assured me this was routine for the doctor and as long as I followed all the directions I would be fine. The nurse gave me two Ativan about 30 minutes before the surgery. It definitely kicked in and made me very relaxed (like being pretty buzzed). The doctor came in, reassured me again and took the before pictures. I was then prepped for surgery, which consisted of the nurse inserting the IV. That's when I really started to get loopy and fall in and out of consciousness. I had 'twilight' anesthesia so I was supposed to fall asleep. I apparently am resistant to anesthesia so I woke up several times and was seeing funny things, like a dog on the ceiling:) I did feel some of the procedures, but it wasn't really painful and as soon as I said anything the doctor inserted more anesthesia liquid to help. It felt like the whole thing only took 15 minutes, but I was actually in surgery for about an hour. I'm told I slept about an hour after the procedure and then the staff had let my friend know I was done. They wheeled me to the back door and I was on my way home. I got home and was starving (I hadn't eaten for over 24 hours). I was able to fix myself something (with supervision from my friend) - I wanted to see what I could do on my own.
As for pain - I wasn't in any pain immediately following surgery. My friend encouraged me to take a pain pill when I got home so I wouldn't be in pain once the pain killers from the doctor wore off. I was awake long enough to eat and babble some silly stuff to my friend, but then went out for about 3 hours. I had put an ice pack across my abdomen and between my legs. I got up and moved around a bit. No really pain, just some tightness. I took another pain pill at the four hour mark, just to make sure. I was knocked out again for about 3 hours. Changed my ice packs and iced the same areas. The first time I went to the bathroom I noticed how swollen my labia is/was. I know this is a normal thing to happen, but I was a little surprised.
I was given a compression garment that goes about halfway down my thigh. They told me that most people have multiple areas done so that's what they usually give people. I am looking for one that is a body suit only. I was also given compression stockings to prevent against blood clots/stroke. The doctor told me to wear the compression garment for two weeks and the stockings for one week. I was told to leave the compression garment on for two days before I take it off for a shower. I couldn't handle not taking a shower so I took one with the compression garment on - basically a sponge bath, but I thought the shower would be easier.
Took a pain pill around 1:30 in the morning, more for prevention than actually being in pain, and went to bed. I took three pain pills over the course of the first day and was never in any real pain. Slept like a baby and had no problem sleeping, even with all the garments.
The doctor did four incisions - two in my pubic area, belly button and one on my upper left side under my breast.
Day after surgery...
Woke up at my regular time and only felt a little tightness, no pain. I was able to get out of bed no problem, and have actually felt more sore after a really hard work out. I was able to do laundry, cook breakfast and all of the other things I would do in the morning. I took a pain pill and all my other meds, and am far less tired today than I was yesterday. It's over two hours since my pain pill and I'm not loopy or tired. I have been icing most of the mooring and the swelling in my labia has gone down a bit. That's the only place I can really see. When I touch my belly I can tell it's a bit swollen/numb. When I weighed myself this morning, I am just a few pounds heavier than I was yesterday. I am wearing normal clothes and don't feel that I'm really that swollen. The doctor and staff had told me that I wasn't having that much taken out and that my swelling and recovery should be good.
I'm going to wait until the pain meds wear off and go run some errands. I am planning on taking a long walk (it's four miles around my block) later on this afternoon. Walking doesn't hurt and the moving around is actually helpful.
I will continue to post pictures and talk about my recovery, but so far so good. I was pretty terrified reading some of the reviews on here, but I must say my recovery has been relatively painless.
This is an ongoing review as I just had my...
This is an ongoing review as I just had my procedure yesterday.
Day 3 update... I woke up this morning with a...
I woke up this morning with a bit more discomfort/feeling than I'd had the day before, but once I was out of bed and moving around I felt fine. My stomach was tingling a bit, which I believe means I'm starting to heal and that's the nerves healing. I took a four mile walk and did not feel any discomfort or pain. I was able to take a shower today and was pretty amazed by how well I'm already starting to heal. I have some bruising and I'm still numb and swollen, but overall I'm happy with the results. The majority of my swelling is in my labia, which was not something I had expected. It's not really painful, just an odd feeling. I did not have any dizziness or nausea when I removed the compression garment or during my shower.
One more thing...I am also thankful that my...
Day 4... Feeling better every day. The pain is...
Feeling better every day. The pain is pretty much gone, and now all I have is a feeling of tightness which is a bit uncomfortable. I have been wearing the compression garment 24/7 except for taking a shower. I left it off today for about 15 minutes after I got out of the shower and tried on a few bathing suits. They were 'wish list' bathing suits that I wish I would have taken pictures in before:) Taking the compression garment off feels odd for the first 5 or 10 minutes, but then after I had showered and moved around a bit without it on I felt pretty good. The numbness and overall tightness is still there, but I think I'll be ready to go without it in a few weeks. I should note that the little bump on my left side was there before I had the lipo and I didn't expect it to go away afterwards as the doctor told me that I would maintain the general shape I had before.
One week... It has been one week since my...
It has been one week since my procedure and I'm feeling better and the swelling/bruising is continuing to improve. I am back to light workouts and have been walking a lot (4 to 7 miles) with minimal discomfort. I am regaining feeling in my stomach and am not uncomfortable when I take off the compression garment, but I'm still wearing it all the time except for showers. As I regain feeling in my stomach it does make me think that I'm gaining weight in my stomach or bloating, but I know that's in my head:) I haven't really seen much visible improvement since the procedure, but I was really surprised at how quickly I saw results immediately following the surgery. I'm still happy with the results and my overall recovery.
Two weeks... I am about two and a half weeks out...
I am about two and a half weeks out and am healing very well. Eleven days after surgery I was able to jog lightly and otherwise workout (including lifting weights) at almost 100%. I stopped wearing the compression garments, except for when working out (and then it's spanx), at day 19. For the most part I am comfortable without a garment, there is just some mild tenderness which goes away after a while. The most discomfort is when I first stand up after sitting for a while. On days 15 and 18, I had to work all day, which had me on my feet, in heels, for about 7 hours. By the end of the day I was mildly sore, but it was on the same level as having menstrual cramps. Every once in a while I get a somewhat sharp pain around my belly button that feels like something is tearing, but it goes away very quickly and has only happened several times.
On day 20 I lightly pulled on my dissolving stitches and they came out very easily. My incision wounds are barely noticeable and I started putting scar hard on them today - I do not anticipate any real scarring. I had a small mole removed on my stomach about 15 years ago and that scar is already more noticeable than the lipo incision on my stomach.
Around day 10, I began to notice that my stomach was harder and I can feel some lumps. I have been massaging them at least twice a day and I am already noticing that they are less noticeable. There are barely visible - I've included some recent pictures. I am having my first massage tomorrow and the masseuse is familiar with post lipo massages. Even without the massage, I think that the self massages I've been doing have been effective and I'm not worried about the bumps. I am confident this is just part of the normal healing process. I do notice that there is still slightly more swelling on the side that had the second incision (I had two incisions in my pubic area and one on the left side of my stomach). I am assuming that this is due to the increased surgical insults on my left side. It is barely visible, and I figure this will also go away as the swelling continues to decrease.
I am still very pleased with the surgery and the results. I was sooooo nervous and worried about potentially negative outcomes that I kind of feel silly for being so worried. I have never had elective surgery before, so I'm only basing my review on a very limited amount of experience, but from reading many of the reviews on this site I think that doctor has to have a pretty significant impact on outcomes and recovery. I couldn't be happier with Dr. O'Neil. I also don't think the pictures do the positive results of the surgery justice.
I also forgot to mention an unexpected (at least...
4 months later... I have a little more than 4...
I have a little more than 4 months post op and could not be happier with my results. To me, the results look natural (e.g., I still have a bit of a curve to my stomach) and any bumps that were present before are completely gone. I went on vacation about one month after surgery and spent most of my time in a bathing suit and in the pool or ocean. I was gone for about two weeks and during that time, I pretty much finished healing. After the month mark, I didn't have any swelling, bumps, pain, or any other signs of surgery. I have one very small scar on my abdomen, but it is hardly noticeable. The two scars in my groin area are nearly invisible and can only be seen when I am naked.
I did three endo massages and another regular massage about 2 1/2 weeks after the surgery. I was also massaging several times a day. I'm not sure if this did anything to help speed recovery, but it helped smooth some of the bumps out at the time. I wore spanx off and on in the two weeks after surgery and the month mark. I wore the compression garment pretty religiously for the first two weeks, especially a night.
I would definitely do this again, and am sorry I didn't do it sooner.
One more thing...after about a month my results...
A little over 8 months post op... Not much new...
Not much new to report, except that my results have continued to maintain. One of the things that I was worried about was that either the results would not maintain, or that I would gain weight in a weird way. When I look at older pictures, the results really did only get better. The skin tightened up a bit more and I have more definition in my abdomen area than I did a month or so after surgery. I have had no pain, discomfort or any other unpleasant results from the surgery. My only regret - I didn't do this sooner.
I did a google search for doctors in the area and then interviewed several. After hearing how often Dr. O'Neil performs the surgery and talking with his staff I felt confident. I also made sure that no formal complaints had been filed against him.

I am basically doing my own version of a light deep tissue massage. I do it lying down and find any bumps/lumps and rub it with as much pressure as possible. I also massage the harder areas in my lower abdomen. I do it for about 5 minutes. I really couldn't handle the pressure or touch until after two weeks. Now it actually feels good.

Elli Pearson, one of the Occupy protesters who was pepper-sprayed by police at UC-Davis, admitted to "Democracy Now!" that the protesters locked arms and sat down to surround the police, who were actually trying to leave the campus. The protesters then told the police that if they wanted to leave, they'd have to clear a path through the protesters:
Well we were protesting together and the riot cops came at us and we linked arms and sat down peacefully to protest their presence on our campus. And then at one point they were – we had encircled them and they were trying to leave and they were trying to clear a path. And so we sat down, linked arms and said that if they wanted to clear the path they would have to go through us. But we were on the ground, you know, heads down and all I could see was people telling me to cover my head, protect myself and put my head down. And the next thing I know we were pepper-sprayed.

I think why I lean more toward this one is the higher saturation and contrast not the pink.

European fractional to offer shares in pre-owned aircraft
A new European fractional ownership program that will begin operations this month is offering shares in pre-owned Cessna Citation CJ1s. UK-based European Business Jets (EBJ) was launched through a $3.7 million share flotation on the London Stock Exchange's AIM small companies market in April. It expects to operate a fleet of five CJ1s by year-end and to double that number by the end of next year.
Aircraft share purchase prices for the program vary slightly according to the actual value of each used jet. A one-sixteenth share will cost approximately $230,000.
In addition, clients pay management fees and an occupied hourly rate, which the company has declined to detail, citing competitive reasons. However, for a one-sixteenth share, which entitles the owner to 37.5 flight hours per year, the total combined charges are $153,000, (equating to $4,094 per hour). The rate for a one-eighth share is $290,450, ($3,872 per hour). The rates are the same for round-trip and one-way journeys.
EBJ guarantees owners flights with 12 hours' notice. The minimum flight charge is for 30 minutes–half the standard one-hour minimum of rival services.
Clients can get out of their five-year contracts after 18 months. If they wish to leave sooner, they are committed to paying any remaining management fees due up to the end of the 18-month period. At the end of the contract, customers are entitled to the current value of their aircraft share and can opt to apply this to another used model.
According to EBJ founder and CEO Graeme Deary, the company won't be buying CJ1s more than five years old or with more than 1,400 flight hours. All aircraft will be backed by power-by-the-hour support terms and maintained by Cessna-authorized service centers.
Each CJ1 will be operated by two pilots employed directly by EBJ. The first group of pilots has been recruited from the UK and is now undergoing training. Captains are required to have at least 3,000 flight hours' experience, but, in fact, most of the initial recruits average between 5,500 and 6,000 hours.
The first aircraft will be based at EBJ's Cambridge Airport headquarters in eastern England. They may spread farther afield if the new frax program's customer base broadens.
Carrying four passengers out of a central European location such as Zurich, Switzerland, the CJ1 can fly as far as Dublin, Ireland, in the west; Oslo, Norway, in the north; Warsaw, Poland, in the east; and Madrid in the south. With just two passengers on board, its range will take it farther afield to Helsinki, Finland, or Lisbon, Portugal.
Appealing to a 'True' Corporate Market
Until two years ago, Deary was sales director of NetJets Europe. He argued that fractional ownership has grown slowly in Europe because companies have offered the market aircraft that are too large and on terms that are too costly. "It doesn't make sense for businesspeople to use a Rolls-Royce when a Mercedes will do the job," he told AIN.
In his view, both NetJets Europe and block charter program Skyjet International (formerly Flexjet Europe) are focused more on the upscale leisure market than on true corporate customers who require more value for money.
The smallest aircraft in the NetJets Europe fleet is now the Raytheon Hawker 400XP. A one-eighth share in that aircraft costs $800,000, with monthly management fees of $15,080 and occupied hourly rates of $2,924. The total cost per flight hour is $4,774. All NetJets shares are sold in new rather than pre-owned aircraft.
Skyjet International's entry-level block charter product is a Learjet 31 priced at an all-inclusive occupied-hour rate of $6,494.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Love this school. The teachers really support the kids and have teams that make sure all kids are challenged without any being left behind. If your child has medical needs, I'd pick another school. The school nurse has been known to make bad decisions , have a bad attitude with kids , has talked to parents about others student's conditions and talking to parents in a very condescending manner. It does not change how I feel about this school but if my child had a serious medical condition, it would.
The previous principal was absolutely hands down HORRID. The new one is better, but the school still needs LOTS of work.
My daughter is an 8th grader who came from one of the best school system in CT south windsor and she loves Two Rivers Magnet. The teachers are wonderful and her CMT scores are off the chart. My son just started this year and says it is the best school he's been to by far. I know every student is different and some parents have negative things to say when their kids don't like a school or they simple don't do well but my kids are good kids, focused social and love diversity. If the kids don't have that kind of package I can see them and the parents hating the school. This is a very nice school for the right student!!
This school is atrocious. My son used to go to this school, everyday he would be upset or angry. Dont even get me started about the staff. Especially the principal. DO NOT LET UR CHILD ENROLL TO THIS SCHOOL. Please. This school is horrible. Im happy i took my son out of this school.
Just as a hint of what a terrible school this is, if you write them a bad review they delete it. the other reviews also already said my words.
This is the WORST school in East Hartford. It doesn't even deserve one star. If you are thinking about sending your kid either here or public school, GO WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL. You will be so sorry if you send your kid here, and if they do I guarantee they will not be there very long. First off their way of teaching is terrible, if that's what you can even call it. There is just so many things wrong with this school, and let's not forget the constant fighting.
One word to describe this school: Atrocious It's just awful, there is so much violence and bullying it's astonishing.
The way of teaching at this school is great!! Excellent !! The teachers really work with the students strong suits and encourages them while giving them the tools to excell and push forward. With that said the communication between the principle and parents needs A LOT!! of work. We parents are not the enemy - remember your students are our children!!!
My daughter absolutely hates this school! My son went here 9 years ago anf then it was great but now it's terrible.
This is the best school my kids had ever been is a safe school and the teachers are really there to help the kids.Of all Hartford school my kids had been they wasn't learning like they were supposed too but since they went to 2 Rivers in East hartford they started 6 Grade I feel they have learn more now they are in 8 Grade. I really recomend this school to all parents. Now I'm looking for a Good High School for my kids.
This school has been a wonderful change for my child.....her test scores have gone up and up each year.

"I ran out of my other personalized thank you notes and ended up ordering these in their place. If I would have known how great these cards were, I would have ordered them originally. The colors are so vivid and the quality of the paper is excellent. I especially like the polka dots on the back. Well done Tiny Prints!"
"I loved the design as soon as I saw it, but I did not realize the kids were carrying Halloween buckets until after I received my order. (I suppose that's why the design was called "trick or treaters"; I thought it was because of the costumes.) I will still use these regardless of the Halloween theme, but this design would be even more versatile without the pumpkins."
"Ordered these as matching set to the birthday party invitations. Great quality & fast shipping! Cute way to for my daughter to thank her guests."
"This is a blank note card so it can be used for more than just a "thank you"! The colors are brilliant and the card stock is just right. They are so cute I almost don't want to use them!"
"Overall, the design fit perfectly with the theme for my for my baby's room. I am using these for the thank you cards from the baby shower. The only minor issue I had was because I used a different font and still bolded it, it was still a lot lighter than I had hoped. Regardless, I still love the cards."

Person DetailsUpdate
Joel Simkhai is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Grindr LLC, the company behind the highly popular Grindr app and the Blendr app.
Founded in 2009, Grindr is the pioneer and largest all-male meet-up app that uses location-based technologies to bring together a global community of more than 7 million users in 192 countries. Joel's inspiration for Grindr was simple; he wanted to know who was gay around him but had a hard time figuring it out. He wanted a better way to help guys meet one another, and when smartphones with GPS came out, he knew the time was right. Since its launch, Grindr has become a worldwide sensation and garnered tremendous media and pop culture attention.
In 2013, Joel launched the new version of Grindr and Grindr Xtra, rebuilt from the ground up with heightened functionality and performance including new filters, a revamped aesthetic such as a restyled Grindr logo and modern profile design.
Leveraging his learnings in creating a tremendously engaging user experience on the award-winning and scalable technology platform that has made Grindr a phenomenon the world over, Joel launched Blendr in 2011, a mobile app for everyone to chat with new people, share photos and interests and even date.
Prior to forming Grindr, Joel worked in several different fields, from finance to journalism to a start-up, before creating his own Internet marketing firm in 2003 that was later sold as Grindr gained in popularity.
Joel has presented at leading industry events, including the TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco, SXSW Interactive conference, F.ounders conference, iDate conference, among others.
Born in Tel Aviv, Joel immigrated with his family at the age of three from Israel to New York City. He later attended Tufts University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in a double major of International Relations and Economics. Joel currently resides in Los Angeles.

The Mets are on a roll right now. This is their second straight eight run-plus game, and right now the Mets are leading the NL in runs scored, and are also first in runs allowed. Yet they are second in their own division by half a game, due to some close losses. Granted, the Braves have a game in hand on the Mets right now, and there is still a lot of baseball to be played, but you have to feel good about the team if you are a Mets fan.
John Maine pitched six no-hit innings, and if you're like me, any time a Mets pitcher gets past four innings or so without allowing a hit, you start to think, "Is this going to be the first Mets' no hitter?" I try not to think about it, as I start to think of it as a jinx, but the thought is still there. I can't help but think about it. Whereas fans of teams like the Cubs, Astros, Giants, Indians, etc. wonder "Will I live my entire life without seeing a World Series-winning ballclub," I wonder things like, "Will I see a Mets' no hitter in my lifetime?" I suppose this is better than the alternative, but the thought is there, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't.
What I'm amazed by is that this team is scoring tons of runs without homers. Beltran hit his third, which leads the team, but there are some players who have hit more home runs than the Mets have as a team. The team is scoring runs by just being hard to get out; they are first in the majors in team on-base percentage, and sixth in the majors in team slugging percentage, despite the lack of homers; this indicates to me a lot of doubles and Jose Reyes contributing with triples. Throw in the team's league-leading .296 batting average, and this has been a helluva hitting team so far.
But here's a number that impresses me; 23 double plays turned. That tells me that the pitching is getting a big help from the defense. It's even more of a big number when you keep in mind that Jose Valentin didn't start playing second base regularly until June of last year. Add in the great outfield defense by Carlos Beltran and, surprisingly, Moises Alou (he is making some tough catches out there for a 41 year old man) and the defense is owed at least partial credit for that lowest runs allowed in the majors tally. They are getting to some balls that would normally drop in for hits, and they are doubling off a lot of the baserunners that do get on. Will the strong defense continue, or is this something that will correct itself over the next few months? I guess we will find out.
It's always nice to rough up Dontrelle Willis a little bit. He is usually pretty dominant against the Mets, but here, he just couldn't handle a Mets team that is just hitting extremely well right now. It was the irresistable force meeting the immovable object, and the irresistable force won out this time. I hope this is more of a sign of the Mets now being able to handle Willis than it is a sign of Willis just having a bad game.
The Mets finish off this two game series in Florida tonight, where Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez pitches for the first time in a few days against Rick Vanden Hurk. Sounds Dutch. Game time is 7:05 PM EST.

What about the other Asian curries? I'm always curious about those. Particularly yellow curry.
LauraLindaLou, if by Yellow curry you mean Thai curry, their stuff is entirely different ,consisting largely of fresh ingredients ground to a paste including chiles, lemongrass, cilantro (often the roots), shallots, galangal, ginger, and turmeric. Similar to Indian curries it will be cooked in oil or coconut cream before the protein is added.
Svaneti salt! I put it on avocado toast every morning. And its my secret ingredient when I roast a chicken.
Turkish spice mix for meats! http://7th-taste.com/2011/04/19/turkish-meatloaf-with-cabernet-sauvignon/
I discovered Chinese Five Spice with this recipe: Spiced Brisket with Shallots and Tangerines. I've since tried it in eggs, veggies, and other meats with great success. For the meats, it is an excellent spice rub on its own.
The curry powder: has been in the south indian kitchen for ages...funny how food history is so distorted...cant say that someone invented it..lol
Thank you! The Hubs and I make most of our spice mixes ourselves, but it is always nice to see the "Spice Road" brought to life!
Definitely see some blends I'm not quite familiar with and will be looking into them!
