Today, Ash Wednesday, is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but Catholics around the world will attend Mass and receive the sacramental ashes on our foreheads. Why do we do so? Heidi Busse, who writes the Every Day Faith blog on the OSV Parish web site, has a good post about it here, and says in part, 'in receiving the ashes, we are entering into the time of Lent, preparing for Easter with prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We are embracing Jesus' journey: the cross of suffering and the promise of Resurrection.'
Earlier, we posted the video about a Simple Plan for Lent: The 1-1-1 Plan. It's by Father Jim Shafer of the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend, and suggests that in addition to embracing the fundamentals of Lent -- fasting, prayer, and almsgiving -- we focus on one sin, give up on thing, and begin one new fatih habit. If you didn't watch the video previously just go here to see it and read the article from OSV Newsweekly about it.
Let us know how Lent goes for you during this Year of Faith!

"The sensational 2002 Shiraz (from 89-year-old vines) offers up scents of roasted meats, beef broth, blackberries, and cassis liqueur. Its texture, sumptuous depth, and incredible richness and purity blew me away. Despite its huge size, it possesses tremendous equilibrium and definition. Drink this classic South Australian Shiraz over the next 10-15 years. If you love the wines of Torbreck, you'll also find this wine totally compelling." (95-98 points) - Wine Advocate
"The 2002 Shiraz was sourced from 89 year old vines and spent 30 months in 3-5 year French barriques. Very deep garnet in color, it gives intense aromas of dried plum and warm blackberries over notes of dusty earth, menthol, coffee, tree bark, black truffle, tobacco and licorice. Very full and concentrated in the mouth, it has medium-firm grainy tannins, crisp acid and a long, layered though slightly warm finish. Drinking now, it should continue to give pleasure to 2018. "

Watching World Cup with the doxies and trying to eat a plum in peace. I think these pictures demonstrate who is running the show. That is our foster Jessie on the coffee table. White face Martin and Papi sitting on his Big Daddy.
Papi is one irresistible treat monster. He had the corgi's owner completely under his spell.
A late afternoon picture of Papi in a beautiful bed of wisteria in full bloom.
Papi got to meet a close relative on the Lady Bird Lake Trail today. This little guy was so fresh from being adopted from the shelter he did not have a name. That is one handsome fella.
Papi (r) and Jessie enjoying the winter sun in their fleece jackets while keeping an eye on the squirrels. Today we learned Jessie may be going to his new forever home soon. He has transformed from an injured and emotionally damaged little guy to a happy, healthy and confident sweetheart. He and Papi have been having epic wrestling matches with bared teeth and unbelievable growling. But it is just good fun. Papi and I will really miss him.
Where is Papi?
It is a cold and rainy Sunday morning in Austin. That is Papi on the left and our little foster Jesse on the right. They both got themselves burritoed without any help from me. Dachshunds know how to do it.
This is Jesse, Papi's foster companion until just the perfect forever home for him is found. He has an injured shoulder and is super timid and wary. Unfortunately we think he was abused by a man because he is scared of me. Papi, Martin, Sue and I are going to get that little guy's confidence back. His name is Paddy on the ctdr site.
All hail Papi.
The last play session for Papi and Oreo. Our foster Oreo went to his new forever family this afternoon. We will miss that sweet little guy but soon Papi will get to have another little friend we can help get adopted. The volunteers at CTDR do such a great job with the applicant screening.
Dachshund wrangling at Home Depot. When it is 105 it is nice to have a big air conditioned building to take the boys for a walk, especially for fragile Martin.
Papi and Oreo are becoming good friends. Papi had to assert his dominance for the first few weeks, but Oreo's relentless sweetness wore him down. I really like seeing this. And the razzel-dazzle chase sessions in the yard have become epic.
Birthday picture. Martin is 14, I'm 54 and Papi is 6. Oreo just insisted on being in the picture. Martin was saying "get me out of here" and that is Papi's "really?" face.
Papi is not happy about sharing his Big Daddy, but I think he knows Oreo needs some special loving.
Sue picked up a whole chicken for the boys to have with their food for the next several days. Oreo has learned quickly that Sue is the giver of special treats. Although he is not food driven like our boys, even with chicken in his bowl he wanders off. We have yet to hear a peep out of him. He is a very serene and calm doxie. A pleasure to have stay with us.

Yep, it's been evicted. It wasn't helping anyone here anyway. If it did anything, it made me feel like poop and ruined a full week of my life every couple of weeks.
Since we were all done making babies of our own, the decision was pretty easy.
I did pretty good at prepping for the big day too! I made mini books full of school work plans and notebooking pages.
I bought groceries that would be easy to prepare and were inherently kid friendly.
I started getting rooms in order so the house wouldn't swallow itself in my absence.
I started…. quietly panicky.
I was in total denial over the details of the procedure. Everyone who knows me knows exactly how I feel about doctors, especially doctors touching me, and double especially strange doctors {and others} touching me in areas …well.. in sensitive areas.
I also wasn't sure how I would feel, how fast I would recover, and how the meds would make me feel.
I don't mind a couple of glasses of wine, but full on out-of-my-gourd for days on end is not my idea of fun.
I prayed, and prayed and wanted so badly to share with you all about how NOT worried I was, despite my efforts to fret.
I just couldn't get all worked up about it. I knew God had it, that it would be fine, and no matter how much my human head wanted to fret my heart wouldn't have any part of it.
In the two weeks before my surgery, we had stomach bugs, cramps, budget issues, and homeschool woes. Nothing I had planned went as planned and I in the end, I just put up my hands.
Here are some of the funny and not so funny things I observed during my surgery experience:
- When the anesthesiologist says, "You won't care in 30 seconds", he is probably overestimating how long your give-a-dern will still function. Mine lasted approximately 10 seconds.
- When the anesthesiologist says, "I have to keep you awake for the spinal, but don't worry, I'll make sure you don't remember any of it", he really means "we are going to delete your memories from between to moments in time with such precision and effectiveness that you are going to wonder if all your Sci Fi fears are coming true and you will forever wonder if this has been done to you before."
- Amazing nurses with not-so-amazing bedside manners and a tendency to make judgmental comments about homeschooling should most definitely NOT be put on duty with a homeschool-loving mom under heavy medication but no lock on her mouth.
- It's shocking how the nurses and doctors will ignore you (unless you beep them of course) for HOURS on end during the daytime, but when night falls they stand outside your door and wait for you fall asleep so they can come wake you up for blood pressure checks and blood tests.
- Some patients are painfully and unnecessarily high maintenance.
- Pain meds are a lot of fun, until you stop taking them and realize how ridiculous you have sounded for the past three days.
- You don't really know how much something hurt, until the pain is gone. (Dear Uterus, You will NOT be missed. Thank you for your service. Buh-bye)
- You don't really know what your hubby can do until you shut up, take a nap, and let him do it.
- Letting someone else be in charge, of the very things you have invested your life to take care of, is the hardest part.
- There will be a couple of times in your life, when pooping becomes very, very important. This is one of those times.
- Just because you think you are making sense, you probably sound like you left a few marbles at the hospital. This is almost guaranteed if you started your morning with Vicodin.
- Few things are as blissful as a steaming hot bubble bath – alone.
- When push comes to shove, what you thought mattered is the last thing you think about, and what you took for granted will be the first thing you cling to.
I'm pretty sure it's time for me to curl up in bed and cry.
Not sure why I'm crying, but it seems to be coming on like rain in Florida. It doesn't last long but it happens regularly.

This was my very first time snowboarding so it took me awhile to get use to it. I must say though, i like the quick in-out system than the two strap bindings. They feel really great especially when i started to hit jumps - rails - pipes. Knowing it was designed by the BMW design team, i had to get it cause i work at BMW OF HONOLULU and added some "M" badges on it. Really worth getting but already planning to get the NXT FS for next years set up.

How important is a common vocabulary for sharing ideas, and how do we arrive at one?
This Live Conversation will start on November 3, at 2pm ET / 11am PT.
Do we need to all be "on the same page" to have productive conversations? Do we have to use the same language or talk about ideas in the same way? What are some examples of vocabulary that's divisive, rather than helpful (e.g. "death panels")?
Closing Statement from Erin McKean
Thanks so much for all the great stories and suggestions -- such a big question can't be answered in an hour, but it's wonderful to be able to talk about it with the TED community! For more discussions follow my Twitter at @emckean. Thanks everyone!

Nov 3 2011: Whenever you're having a conversation with another person, there is more opportunity for misunderstanding than understanding. The reason is that language represents our internal thoughts and images.
Language is a form of agreement between words and ideas. A common vocabulary is a requirement for communication to occur at the level of language, it's an agreement.
The pathway to "shared meaning" is an open agreement for dialogue: the exchange between two people to better understand each others ideas through language.
The critical ingredient: curiosity. The moment we "assume" that we know what the other person means by what they say, we cut off the possibility of truly understanding their meaning and their full idea. We don't learn anything new.
Jargon is often times criticized and devalued, when rather it represents the work of past dialogues to create a single agreement for word meaning. Depending on the culture (group, organization, etc.) that uses that jargon, the meaning for the word changes. For example, the word "set" can be jargon for tennis players but has a rather different meaning for poker players.
Dialogue, Curiosity and Agreement.
Nov 3 2011: I completely agree that jargon is useful. Everyone uses jargon, whether they realize it or not ... the difficulty is in recognizing when jargon is helpful and when it's harmful. I think it's helpful when it builds camaraderie, works as shorthand (think a busy restaurant kitchen) and harmful when it's used to exclude people who would like to join ...

Stallions hope new head coach will corral a playoff berth
KANATA - The Kanata Stallions are hoping a new head coach can help them corral a playoff spot this year in the Central Canada Hockey League.
The Kanata Stallions are hoping a new head coach can help them corral a playoff spot this year in the Central Canada Hockey League.
General manager Lou Nistico hired Corey Foster to take the reins from Randy Pierce on Feb. 11, in the hopes of turning things around after a disappointing season of losses.
"I think it'll give them new life," Nistico said of the Stallions players. "We have nine games left and hopefully this gets us to a playoff spot."
Nistico said he thought Pierce, a former NHL right-winger, did a good job as the bench boss, but the team just "wasn't responding."
"It's no fun firing your coach," he said. "This time of year, it's just easier to replace the coach than to replace 20 hockey players.
"It's not just the coach's fault; the players have to take responsibility. The coach can only do so much."
The Stallions – this year's Fred Page Cup hosts – are four points away from a playoff berth. The team has won 20 games, lost 27, and lost another six in overtime or shoot-outs. The Stallions are up against the Smiths Falls Bears, who are 24-27-2, for the last playoff spot.
"I still think we have a good shot at the playoffs," said Nistico, adding he expects the players will respond well to Foster. "(The players) realize that they're the reason that the head coach got fired. I think they'll respond better and start playing like they're capable of playing."
Foster was originally hired as an assistant coach last August. However, he had to leave his position in November for personal reasons. Now, the former NHLer is hoping he can lead the team in the right direction.
"I hope to get into the playoffs," Foster said. "We've had a couple of real good practices. Hopefully, moving forward, we can all get on the same page and get into the playoffs."
Foster, an Arnprior resident, played four seasons as a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey League's Peterborough Petes. His best season was in 1989 when he was a member of Canada's national junior team and won the Memorial Cup with the Petes.
He was the 12th overall pick in the 1988 NHL draft by the New Jersey Devils. He played 45 NHL games with New Jersey, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Vico Magistretti Veranda Leather Sofa for Cassina 1970s
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $3,900.00
- Quantity Available: 1
This is a rare example of Vico Magistretti's Veranda sofa, designed for and produced by Cassina beginning in 1973. Like Magistretti's famous Maralunga line of sofas and chairs, it features left and right side seat backs which fold up and down. It measures 68 in (172.7 cm) wide and 32 in (81.3 cm) deep. In the down position the seat backs measure 30 in (76.2 cm) high, and with them in the upright position they measure 43 in (109.2 cm) high. Seat height is 16 in (40.6 cm). Unlike the Maralunga, the Veranda line features a fold-out footrest, and reclining seatbacks. Condition is very good. There are a handful of small scrapes, one small tear, and some losses to the finish along the edge of the footrest that rests upon the frame when folded. Color is a medium brown with hints of grey. While the Maralunga remained in production from 1973 through the 1980s, the Veranda line apparently did not last beyond the 1970s. Additional images forwarded upon request. ( za- )

The devices on this page represent the best among their respective categories.
Even with the slightly low USB 3.0 performance, the GoFlex Ultra still makes an excellent portable external hard drive for people who need to expand their computer's storage.
All things considered, the Seagate GoFlex Desk Thunderbolt adapter is currently the best investment for those who want a superfast storage device to use with a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac.
Like the previous version, the Seagate 4TB GoFlex Desk offers top capacity and comes in a superflexible design. Supporting USB 3.0, it also offers great performance.
Similar to previous GoFlex portable drives, Seagate's GoFlex Turbo makes a great companion for any traveler with a laptop. Its added features, however, might not justify the higher estimated price.

Children in the Mukuru slum this morning. We are visiting there as part of #SearchLightEA #Children #Slums #African #Kenya365 #Kenya
Governments are not embracing early warning systems as a measure that would
help reduce the risk of famine, says a report, titled Managing Famine Risk:
Linking Early Warning to Early Action, by the Chatham House . Yet, studies
show that food crises are not black swans but are subject to early warning
systems and tools.
Rob Bailey, Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House, a UK think-tank, said
the risk to famine is rising although funding to curb this has increased
because most of it goes to humanitarian cause. The report argues that early
warning system tools, weather forecasts, are way to go in curbing famine to
increase food security.

(Bailey gives his presentation during the Searchlight Conference [Photo by
Decision makers (politics) have a major role to play in ending famine but
the problem is they deny food crises exist in their backyards since such
crises are globally viewed as leadership failure. Just like it was the case
in 2011, the report argues that Somalia Ethiopia, and Kenya are most at
risk to famine.
However, some critics of the report say it misses to capture the role
communities can respond to famine and food crises. Women in Africa are the
majority smallholder farmers and the report does not capture their
thoughts. The report more focuses on the role of politicians.
In response Rob Bailey, Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House, says
community knowledge on early warning tools towards famine and drought
should be utilized to feed in the contemporary methods. James Ogor,
executive director Kenya National Drought Authority, says focus should be
integrating community resilience to drought and modern ways of resilience
while improving livelihoods of communities facing drought.Climate change
may be responsible for some famine but people should be empowered to
respond to emergency.
Moving forward: Risk financing model by Rockefeller Foundation, World Food
Program and African Union should be adopted by all those that want to
reduce risk of famine. Provide early warning tools and information to
most-at-risk areas. Donors and governments should build programmes
examining the famine risk areas and help communities.
Food crises are not black swans they happen with our knowledge and
therefore can be avoided. It will take participation of different groups
that include governments, donors, local NGOs, communities and individual
efforts. Solving the risk of famine will take political will. Put people
with best knowledge on the ground to spread early warning messages.
The report us titled : Managing Famine Risk- Linking Early Warning to Early
The report highlights that recurrent food crises are one of the challenges
that hinder development in the Horn of Africa and Sahel region.
Political risk prefences shape institutions. That could be the reason as to
why countries in Africa do not have Early Warning Systems especially as far
as food security is concerned.
There is need for Institutional Reform so that there are clear Early
Warning systems in African countries.
Capacity of at-risk groups to take early action themselves needs to be
built. There needs to be an enabling environment for the communities that
are risk.
Africa has great capacity to diversify the drought risk.
New approaches need to be taken into a Resilence Lab of sorts that will
help link long and short term goals. This needs a safe space that will help
to build institutions.
The report is supposed to help us look into the future for Africa. To
develop and create a Resilient future for ourselves, Food Security has got
to be looked into. It is a key area.
Early Warning Systems are what are going to help build a resilent Africa
come 2030 in terms of Food Security.. But the preparation needs to start
Ruth Aine.
It is a melting pot of heads in Nairobi's Red Cross Conference Centre.
Grantees of Rockefeller Foundation and Society for International
Development are exchanging ideas about how the future will look like basing
on the challenges at hand. From Asia, Latin America to Africa the
participants in the Searchlight Conference are speaking with optimism about
the future but also cautiously about the risks.
The Nairobi Searchlight conference is the third, the others having taken
place in Mumbai and New York. In this conference the Searchlight partners
will reconnect, learn from each other and synthesize various insights on
the outlook of several countries' future. Claudia Juech, Managing Director
of Research at the Rockefeller Foundation is hopeful that the grantees will
ably give thoughts which they think will solve future global problems.
The Searchlight aims at bringing grantees together and share their
experiences in solving challenges people face today. "In a way, it is about
grantees' speculation of future challenges and solutions," says Claudia.

(Claudia during a presentation at the Nairobi Searchlight Conference [Photo

One voice coming from this conference is that technological innovations,
good governance and adaptation to climate change are major solutions to the
future problems. People need to be resilient (adaptive) to change. A common
example cited over and over again in the conference is the innovation of
sending money to people through the mobile phone (m-pesa) which traces its
roots in Nairobi.
It is being reported here that there are also other largely ignored
innovations in Africa's technology that should be supported. In Kenya,
there's a boy who developed solar-powered booby traps to chase lions that
were attacking his father's cattle. In many rural African areas cassava
grinding machines have been made. In Uganda, Makerere University students
have made a mobile phone application (WinSenga) that encourages pregnant
mothers to go for antenatal checks. But, the challenge is how do we make
mass production out of these innovations.
Also the conference was told that, in many countries across the world there
is a wind of change blowing in the direction of democracy (Arab spring, in
Latin America, etc), countries are getting interested in regional
integration, there is a boom in infrastructural development, emphasis on
regional markets to promote job creation, creating awareness on climate
change, etc.These changes need support.
Public private community partnerships are also being emphasized. This is a
good way to go because when one looks at it all; the micro finance schemes
began as community initiatives but are being taken up by the private sector
and banks for support. In Uganda, for example the government (public
sector) is giving drugs to private health centres to treat its citizens
where there are no government hospitals.
However, there is a risk standing in the middle of these innovations. These
seem to be fragmented solutions for problems that should be given bigger
attention. Sometimes you can blame the state; but what is the
responsibility of other actors? There is need to look for solutions beyond
For example, a sustainable solution can be supporting the universities or
institutions in the ICT to develop software that can be used to disseminate
weather information to farmers through mobile phones, for instance. To be
able to tackle climate change problems we need to invest in human resource
and research that will bring innovative solutions to the farmers. Borrowing
traditional knowledge on how they used to guard against drought, climate
change could be another.
But again, a couple of questions still linger in mind. Yes, technology has
its good side like when people use it for showing their power. However, in
the event that government tries to block it as seen in China, how will
people use it? Have we built resilience to government interference with
technology? It is good news from Asia where women leaders are rising, but
are women leaders better?
Latin America is reported to be experiencing huge rural-urban migration
putting pressure on existing structures like housing; are cities able to
cope? Who stands to benefit from regional integration? Young population in
Africa, will be growing very high compared to aged population in developed
countries; how will Africa cope with lack decent jobs for youths as seen in
Arab spring in Tunisia, Egypt? How can South, East, West Africa collaborate
with North Africa e.g. in terms of security, development, climate change,
Well, the conference is underway. Hopefully by at the end, we will have
concrete solutions to future challenges and predictions of the future in
Asia, Africa, Latin America.
*Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold;

In Africa there is a notion that as we face the future there will be alot of plundering of wealth and resources by the leaders. Do you agree? #SearchLightEA

The advertising company behind the ubiquitous Ships Start Here campaign says it was doing mostly "preliminary" work on the file about three months before signing the contract.
Halifax-based MT&L billed the province $104,762 for that preliminary work, according to invoices obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation. Sarah Young, a principal at MT&L, said the firm was asked to complete the work on a tight timeline without fully knowing how the campaign would develop.
"What we did initially ' and this is very typical when we start a project ' we're brought in and we're briefed, and at the outset you don't know exactly what it is that you're undertaking," she said.
When asked how MT&L bills clients for its work while not under contract, or whether there was any agreement on costs in place with the province, Young said: "If anything, it would have been providing a scoping…. Oftentimes what we'll do is say this is how much it is to engage and go from there."
When asked if there was a formal agreement between the government and MT&L before the contract was signed, Young said questions about procurement and timelines should be put to the provincial government.
The CTF says the government broke its own procurement policy by awarding the contract without first seeking approval from the Treasury Board or putting it to tender.
Jennifer Stewart, Premier Darrell Dexter's press secretary, said Nova Scotia Business Inc. has the power to fast-track contracts under exceptional circumstances.

Potluck Thanksgiving
Jellied Cranberry Sauce with Fuji Apple
Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes before they burst and form a sauce. Melissa Rubel Jacobson has a number of recipes for them, including Cranberry, Clementine and Pumpkin Seed Conserve and Cranberry-and-Dried-Fruit Compote. To mold the sauce so it's sliceable, she adds an apple, which is loaded with pectin, a natural gelling agent.

''The Story Of My Life' – digital download single
The Preservation Society Presents
' poptastic, conjuring up those halcyon days' John Kennedy XFM x-posure
June 18th 2012
Spring sprung a leak, sunshine was at a premium, but summer has arrived and Theatre Royal brings to you 'The Story of My Life'. The first single to be taken from the band's 2nd album 'at the end of a river, the sea…', out later this summer, is sparkling pop. This is universal guitar pop, the sort that seems to rear its head every time that a journalist says that it's dead. The song is a tale of friendship, break up and uncertainty and just like many a relationship it's equal parts melancholy and euphoria.
For 3 minutes, all jangling and harmony-drenched, the song piles wave upon wave of hooks atop a solid backbeat and a slab of reverb. Ear candy backing vocals contrast with a deadpan lead, in a call and response that strides from The West Coast to the Mersey via the bands hometown in Medway. The track sees the band: Oliver Burgess (vocals/guitar), Robbie Wilkinson (guitar/vocals), Brendan Esmonde (bass guitar), Jon Gibbs (drums) refine the raw template of their debut and sharpen its gaze.
'The Story Of My Life' is backed by two hugely contrasting cuts in the form of 'Bonechild' and 'All I Need',neither of which is to appear on the forthcoming album. 'Bonechild' sets its tone of almost defiant resignation to pounding drums and a blistering, gun slinging guitar solo. 'All I Need' is a simple and tender ode to a loved one, recorded in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and featuring a piano once owned by the late great Jerry Lee Lewis.
Theatre Royal - Bonechild by ThePreservationSociety
Theatre Royal - All I Need by ThePreservationSociety
This is just the first taste of an album full of pop gems, to be released later this summer via Rochester based label The Preservation Society Presents. 'The Story Of My Life' will be available as part of a digital bundle from all good online retailers from June 18th and will be supported by a number of live dates across the South East.

Kid's Unique bring to you 'Love Tunnel', their 2nd single and the follow up to the XFM and Q TV play listed 'Seymour Evil'. 'Love Tunnel' will be released digitally via The Preservation Society Presents on June 11thand sees the group once again spitting riddles and rhymes with dexterity and verve, but this time their tongues are placed firmly in their cheeks.
Kids Unique - Love Tunnel by ThePreservationSociety
'Love Tunnel' is a tale of the cocksure naivety of teenage years, when your idea of romance is getting what you can down an alleyway without being caught by an old man walking his dog. 'Love Tunnel' might be the new single by an up and coming hip-hop band, but it is unashamedly pop, 3 minutes of hooks and rhymes that in a just world are destined to sound track the festival summer and force their way onto daytime airwaves.
Kids Unique release 'Love Tunnel' on June 11th and will support the release with a series of London dates as well as taking one of just 4 spots on the main stage at Rochester Castle in the inaugural year of Music Event One, headlined by the legendary Public Image Limited.

Dead Lovers 'Kerb Your Libido' was played by the legendary Steve Lamacq on BBC 6music last night. The track is a split 7" vinyl single with The Pantomime Villains 'Hook Line And Sinker' and can be purchased exclusively from www.thepreservationsocietypresents.com
Dead Lovers - 'Kerb Your Libido' / The Pantomime Villains – 'Hook Line & Sinker'
AA-side Split 7" Vinyl- LTD 250 copies
2nd April 2012
The Preservation Society Presents returns for Volume 2 in their vinyl singles club series. This month sees more Kentish charms in the shape of the melodic poeticism of Dartford's Dead Lovers with 'Kerb Your Libido' and the heady adolescence of Thanet's The Pantomime Villains with 'Hook Line And Sinker'.
'Kerb Your Libido' is the Debut Release from Dartford's Dead Lovers, with distinctive folksy harmonies punctuating this piece of classic observational English song writing. The tale of a seedy protagonist all overcoats and drool, is contrasted by a quietly rousing template of new wave guitars and an infectious sing-along pop chorus. The track will act as a precursor to further much anticipated releases throughout 2012, with a series of singles and a debut album to follow. 'Kerb Your Libido' is just the start of Dead Lovers quest in reigniting Dartford's great musical history.
Track 2 of this very limited vinyl only release is the latest offering from Margate's The Pantomime Villains, following the blindside success of their debut release the 'Told You So' EP. These four 18 year olds who abound with youthful verve and exuberance are the sound of adolescence and yearning teenage dreams. 'Hook Line and Sinker' sees the band soar effortlessly from a verse of wistful lament to a rabble-rousing crescendo chorus, all drunken frolics and broken promises. Their teenage idealism is already gaining them fans throughout the music industry 'it's clear they could just be the shot in the arm that guitar music needs' Anthony Thornton – Uncut Magazine.
Once again the release is strictly limited to 250 vinyl copies and will be supported by a short string of co-headlining live dates across the South East. The vinyl can be purchased exclusively at these gigs and from www.thepreservationsocietypresents.com.

Toll Brothers and Housing Market Dynamics
Erik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Whether we are looking at the residential spending part of the latest GDP report, new home sales, existing home sales, or the decline in foreclosure inventory, we see signs of a slightly improving real estate market. The recent Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) earnings announcement suggests continuation of this trend. But there are developments that raise flags and give investors reason to continue to approach this arena with trepidation. While more-aggressive investors might find opportunities in recent stock-price weakness, more risk-averse investors might want to sit on the sidelines for a bit longer. Here are some things to consider.
Examining earnings
Toll Brothers announced its first-quarter earnings on February 20. In the three months ended January 31, the company posted a per-share profit of $0.03, marking a significant improvement from the loss of $0.02 per share in the year-earlier period. The EPS gain came amid a 32% increase in revenue (both in terms of volumes and dollars). The results are solid, even if the company reportedly missed analyst estimates. Further, conditions look relatively rosy going forward. Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers' CEO, is quoted in the earnings announcement stating: "Demand has increased. With our first quarter contracts up 49%, and contracts for the first three weeks of our second quarter up 40% versus comparable periods in FY 2012, it appears that momentum is building."
That's the good news. The part that concerns me about the overall housing market came in the next paragraph: "We are continuing to gain market share and see little competition from local private builders." That's good for Toll Brothers, but this brings several questions to mind, and we will have to see how other developers' earnings come in before we can answer them. After all, Toll Brothers operates in 19 states, covering the southwest, south central, north central, and much of the east coast. To get a better picture of other markets, we will need to wait to hear from other companies. For example, builders KB Home (NYSE: KBH) and Hovnanian Enterprises report earnings in March. KB Home is one of the oldest home-building companies. It is well-positioned in ten states, primarily in the south, and the southern parts of both the east and west coast. Toll Brothers also operates in nine of these states. By comparison, Hovnanian is positioned in 16 states, all but four overlap with Toll Brothers.
As a general thought, I would like to know how much of Toll Brothers' recent business comes from market share gains and how much comes from actual strengthening in the housing market. Admittedly, Toll Brothers operates in the more affluent spectrum of the market, so its earnings report really doesn't tell us too much about the rest of real estate. I can't help but be a bit concerned about the part that they aren't seeing too much competition from private builders. For that reason, it is a good idea to take a look at the economic statistics that cover more of the real estate market.
What the statistics tell us
The latest housing statistics continue to show that the real estate market is improving, but it isn't great. Still, there are signs to be somewhat hopeful down the road.
According to the government, new single-family home sales in December 2012 were up 8.8% from the year-earlier period, but were down 7.3% from November. (The government releases January's statistics on February 26.) Similarly, new housing starts in January were up considerably from the prior-year level (23.6%), but were down on a month-to-month basis (8.5%).
The recent easing in some statistics does not necessarily indicate that housing is going to fall apart. Single-family home starts climbed 20% year-over-year in January, and were slightly higher from December (0.8%). And building permits in January were up 35.2% year-over-year and 1.8% since December. It is important to remember that not every permit leads to a construction company actually breaking ground, and just because a company breaks ground doesn't necessarily mean that the house is going to get sold or even built. Therefore, we take a look at what else is going on in the housing market.
The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales, on a seasonally adjusted basis, climbed 0.4% in January. That's another nice sign that things are moving in the right general direction. Yet, people still aren't rushing to sell their homes. The inventory of homes for sale fell 4.9% (the NAR reportedly did not adjust the inventory figures for seasonality). This is the lowest inventory figure since December 1999, and that could suggest solid opportunities for home builders in the months ahead.
Not ready just yet
Recent weakness in home builders stocks could create an interesting buying opportunity for more-aggressive investors. For example, shares of Toll Brothers sank roughly 7% over the last month, dropping its P/E ratio to about 11.7, which is a discount to the industry average.
One cannot, however, dismiss the risks present. Employment is a key factor to a healthy housing market. Last year, the economy created, on average, 181,000 jobs each month. More recently, the pace of employment growth has eased, hitting 157,000 in January. Of course, there is also the potential contraction arising from the sequester, which could derail the improvements in the labor market and hurt the housing recovery. Personally, I would really like to see a lot more people working, and the pipeline of foreclosed properties to be a bit smaller. Investors looking for exposure to the real estate market, but perhaps not ready to stomach the home builders, might want to wait to see more signs of life before diving in.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
For a class that relies so heavily on staying at range, the hunter has surprisingly few ways to get back into the ranged zone once slowed. Priests have fear to buy them time and space, Warlocks ditto plus skillcoil, Mages have nova/blink (and a few other less practical methods). Not to mention gnomes uber-racial that clears movement impairments instantly on a one-minute cooldown. But hunters realistically have only have two chances to get away, and they're both on long cooldowns. They can trap, or they can trinket. After those are gone, they have nothing to help them. Trinket is a once-an-arena thing, and traps are trinketable or otherwise easy to remove through dispels. For my warrior, it comes down to just use hamstring twice. Then the Hunter's mine. For Rogues it's even easier - they just hit the Hunter and the crippling poison's back on.
Back in the day, I remember people saying that Feign Death should clear debuffs. I gawked at that idea seeing as Feign Death was on a 30 sec cooldown and Hunters wanted it to be like a Rogue's Cloak of Skill. Looking back, maybe they should allow Feign Death to clear movement impairments ...
Another solution that I see most commonly used by Hunters is to tap the Beast Mastery tree. The new 41st point ultimate makes the Hunter completely immune to movement impairments. And they're a real pain to deal with when that happens and the pet's munching on your madly. But that talent ability is kinda in the same class as a trinket - 3 min cooldown usually makes it a one-use ability.
There are a couple solutions, but I believe the statistic in the arenas. They're difficult to play in an arena compared to other classes.
And while we're here, for the love of god someone nerf Cyclone to a dispellable or change its cooldown.

The three concepts were explained to the board in January by representatives of Davis Partnership, the firm hired to develop a master facilities plan for the hospital complex. (See related story on Page 1.)
The first would make enough improvements in the hospital building to get by for a few years; a more aggressive plan would address most of the facility priorities on the Powell Valley Healthcare campus, and a third would make major changes to position the organization for growth far into the future.
Each concept would involve several construction phases.
It should be emphasized that these are concepts that have not advanced yet to the point of becoming a plan. They are very much subject to change as new thoughts and ideas come into play.
Of course, the more elaborate the plan, the more extensive — and expensive — the building project would be.
The best solution, one person noted, might be something of a compromise between the second and third proposals — Concept 2.5.
In their continuing discussions, the board and PVHC leaders agree that additional time and more community input is needed before they make a decision about what direction or concept to aim at when planning for future facility changes and expansions. They will be reaching out to the community soon to explain the concepts and ask for your input and ideas. This facility is vital to our community, and we hope you get involved.

The whole town wold be there. I wasnt nervous,that wasnt it at all,i just didnt want to break down in front of the whole town. How was i going to do this? Well ofcourse my friends would help me. Thankfully i had advanced science with vanessa. She sat next to me and i talked to her. "How am i going to do this,"i asked her. "Lexi,you are the strongest girl ive ever met,you can do anything.Besides you dont have to be afraid to cry,"vana said[vanessas nickname]. "I dont want to look weak in front of the whole town,"I said. "Lexi,this town has seen alot of funerals,no one wil call you weak if you cry,"vana told me. "My dad hated when i cried,"i objected. "He will understand,lex,your dad was the most understanding person i ever met,"vana said. I smiled and she hugged me and said,"lexi,youll do great and if you cry,let it flow." The bell rang and soon it was lunch. Seth kept his arms around me comfortingly. The guys from this morning walked over and said,"so,clearwater,she let you get to home base yet,"the tallest skiniest boy said. "Shut up,"seth ordered. "Aw,is little clearwater getting angry,"a short beefy one asked. "Just dont talk about her,"seth growled. "Dont talk about that ----,"a tall broad shoulder one asked. Seth got angry,he was shaking. Collin,trishchen,and brady stood up. "Ha,clearwaters gonna explode,"the short beefy one said and the loser guys started laughing. "Shut up,"Brady growled at the guys. "Or what,"the tall skiny one asked. "You dont want to know,"collin demanded. Soon,the guys started fighting. Guys from our table joined in. I made all the girls at our table move away. Ive never seen seth and the guys so angry. I have to say it was kind of attractive. Everything was only about the guys until a hand came and punched me in the face. I recgnized this girl she was with the guys earlier. I tackled her and we started fighting. Everyone was around us watching both the fights. "If only you werent such a ---- these guys wouldnt be fighting,"the girl said,sharply. I gave her a hard punch in the stomach. Her air came out in a whoosh. I growled at her. Before i knew it we were being pulled apart. Well i was being pulled off of her. I wanted her to feel more pain. Teachers and security guards were trying to break up the fight. The girl hit my nose where paul had,that hurt believe it or not. I was taken to the principles office by the girl security guard i talked to the day before. The principle told me i was suspended only for the day,since i didnt throw the first punch. I was afraid,but i went home. Collin,seth,trishchen,and brady ran up to me a few seconds after i started walking. Seth put his arm around me. "Im sorry guys,"i told them. "Dont be that was fun,"seth smiled. "What are the guys going to do,"i asked. "Nothing,this has happened before,"collin said. Still,I was scared,especially if the guys were stil a little buzzed. When we got inside,i glared at the guys and ran back outside. I climbed onto the roof. I sat with my head on my knees and cried. Will i ever be able to face them? Does this make me weak? Why does this have to be so...confusing. I leaned back onto the roofing. Thats when zefron landed on me. "Get off me,"i whispered not wanting the guys to come out. "oh come on,i wont hurt you,"zefron said. "Youre a vampire,you all want to hurt me,"i said. "Im half vampire,"zefron said,"i dont want to hurt you." I was scared,but i believed him. His cold body pressed to mine,he was going to kiss me! This couldnt happen!! Seth came and tackled the vampire off me. They rolled off the roof. I jumped down following them. All the guys ran outside. Seth phased,the vampire flashed off. Seth ran into the woods and came back seconds later,clothed. "Lexi,what was that,"seth growled. "I dont know,"i said,defensivly. "You were going to let him kiss you,"seth growled. "No,seth,no i wasnt,"i said. "You know what,if you want a stupid leech have him,because were done,"seth said. It felt like my heart was torn out of my chest and it followed him as he ran off. I just dropped to my knees. He told me hed never hurt me. Jake picked me up and carried me inside. I saw his face only once. It was sorry. He laid me on my bed. I cried so hard. Now i had two things to cry about. The next day,i wore a black mini dress with black heels and straight hair. Crysta and lara wore the same. I grabbed my speech and we left to my dads funeral. I saw seth next to his mom,i hid my face. Jake talked first. He told of how he and dad were so close. He told of the times they laughed and the serious times. Next my oldest sister shared a speech. You could see the tears in her eyes. I started crying. Quil hugged me,brotherly. My sister shared what my dad was like o her first date,her first dance,and then when she got married. Then my second oldest sister went. She talked about her first date then when dad found out she snuck out to see paul one night,she talked about the laughs they shared. Then,it was my turn. I walked up to the podium. Dads open caskett stood next to te podium. I talked about the firsty day i came,not taking my eyes of dads peaceful looking face. Then i talked about seth and me,ignoring seths name soi wouldnt break. That didnt work when i looked up my eyes locked with seth. "Im sorry,"I said looking into his eyes. I ran off and out the exit. I ran into the woods. I ran all the way to the meadow. I kicked and punched trees nearby. I stopped when i noticed my knuckles were red and bloody. I couldnt help the waterfall of tears falling from my eyes. I asked myself outloud,"lexi,why are you so stupid?why do you ruin everything?why cant you just be normal?" A voice behing me said,"youre not normal,but its okay,none of us are.And you dont ruin anything." I turned around and it was jake. I ran to him and hugged him,sisterly. "I hate seeing you like this,lex,"jake said. "Im sorry,jacob,"i whispered afraid of what i might sound like if i spoke up. "Dont apologize,"jake said and hugged me tighter. I couldnt breathe but i wasnt going to ruin this moment,too. Jake convinced me to go back to the service. No one but seth knew that the "im sorry" was for him. I sat back down next to quil. Becka was on the other side of me. Her beautiful smile giving me reassurance. Ms. clearwater was up talking now. She talked about how my dad,her,and harry clearwater were best friends. She told of how her husband and my dad went to fishing trips with charlie swan,bellas dad. I couldnt help but cry. Quil hugged me and whispered,"itll be okay,lil sis." I just leaned my head on him and hid my face. I could feel seths eyes on me. That made me cry more. After the service,we had to host a dinner thing that the whole town also went to. I didnt see seth,so i was kind of worried. Crysta and lara helped me clean up from crying so much. Some guys from school,walked up to me. "Were sorry for your loss,lexi,"they told me. I hugged them in a friendly way and said,"thank you." They gave me a smile and walked off. I went to the corner,i didnt feel like socializing with anyone. I snuck ot and back into the woods. In the meadow,zefron came. "Hey,"he said. "My life is ruined,"i said. "Im sorry about your father,"he said. "Not just that,seth dumped me,"i said. Why was i confiding in this vampire? "Well,maybe its a sign,"zefron said,"a sign that means you shoud try someone different." I dont know what happened. He stepped closer to me. His cold hands wrapped around my waist. My heart was thumping,about ready to jump out of my chest. His lips came closer to me. Our lips met and somehow he managed to slip his tongue in. He didnt bite me! I was surprised and vulnerable,so i didnt pull away. I hated all vampires,so what was going on?!?! His hand were agressive. They held me tight. I was to vulnerable to do anything. Finally,i said,"stop!" "You dont mean that,"zefron said. "Please,"i choked. He kept kissing me. Someone came flying and tackled zefron off of me. It was seth. Then,he came to me and kissed me,passionatly. Zefrons eyes narrowed. "Both of you stop it,"i said and stepped away from both of them. "Now dont talk to me...ever,"i growled and walked off. "Now look what you did,leech,"seth growled at zefron. "Me,if you wouldnt have broke her heat this would have never happened,"zefron hissed. I started running. I managed to slip back into the dinner hall. Paul and my sister knew something hapened. Paul could probably smell the vampire on me. He whispered to me,"did that vampire come back." I nodded my head and his eyes went angry. "What did he do,"paul ordered. "He-he kissed me,"i studdered. Paul stormed over to the other guys. When they looked at me their faces dropped. Jake came over and said,"Are you alright." "Physically,yes,mentally,...no,"i said. He kissed my forhead and said,"ill take care of this for you,later." I wasnt sure if i wanted him to,but i nodded anyway. Crysta and lara were informed and came to comfort me. I told the the rest of the story,the part the guys didnt know,about seth. My heart was hurting so bad. Luke walked over to me. "Um,hey,"luke said. Crysta and lara walked away. "Hey,"I whispered. "You okay,"he asked. I shook my head no. "Would a hug be out of question,"luke asked. For his answer i put my arms around him and hugged him like i would a friend. There was nothing special about it. I saw collin,brady,and trishchen giving luke a glare. I gave them a look that said "dont worry". They nodded,but still worried. Luke and i talked for a while longer,actually until the service ended. I went home exhausted from crying. I went right to my room and fell to sleep. I woke up around 1 in the morning. I was still all dolled up. I snuck out my window. I had to talk to seth. I went to his house. He was in his backyard. He wipped around,ofcourse he heard me. His anger faded to saddness. "Can we talk,"i asked. "Ofcourse,"he said and we went into his room. We sat on his bed facing eachother. "Lexi,i broke my promise,"he said. "What promise,"i said,even though i knew exactly what he meant. "I promised you that id never hurt you,but i did,"seth said. "Seth,i hurt you too though,"i said. "But i made you cry,"seth said. His face was so...sorry. "Seth,i forgive you,"i said. His hand fluttered to my face and he said,"thank you!" Something came over both of us. We moved to a laying position. His hands unzipped the back of my dress. I kicked my shoes off. His shirt and pants came off. We were both in our undergarmets. His hot skin pressed to mine. His hands roamed over my body. Mine moved over his back. His hands moved to the buckle on the front of my bra. My heart was racing and i was shaking. Would i let this go to far? As if he was debating to he moved his hands. Maybe,i was thankful,i dont know if im ready for that yet. I loved seth,so much,but thats a huge thing! "I love you,lexi black,"seth said. "I love you,too,"i smiled. He kissed down my torso then came back to my lips. His kiss sent electric shocks down my spine. He smiled,so i think he could tell. His hands came back up to my bra buckle. "Seth,"i whispered,"i dont think im ready." I was afraid of what he would say. "Its okay,i can wait forever for you,"seth said with a smile. We continued to make out. I could feel him tohugh,feel the heat through my undergarmets. It sent goosebumps through my body. The door opened and there sue clearwater stood. All three of our faces were in shock. "Seth clearwater,"sue said,scoldingly. I grabbed my clothes and ran out the window. I heard seth calling after me. I idnt stop though. I was running in my bra and underwear. Ofcourse,some drunk teenagers had to be in the woods. I froze when i ran into one. "Wow,"one smiled. All the others smiled,too. "Hey,your that guys daughter,the one who had the funeral today,"the one who looked about 18 said. I just backed away slowly. "Come on,stay awhile,"the oldest one about 20 said. "I cant,"i said. They surrounded me. I was super uncomfortable,especially since i was in my bra and undrewear. Then,i heard growls. Great,here comes the guys,so they can see me in my undergarmets. The teenagers ran off at the growls. Then,outstepped the guys. They were in human form. They all turned their heads when they saw me. "Lexi,why dont you have your clothes on,"jake asked. "I-i-i umm i-i was gonna go on patroll,"i said. "Oh um well,you should put on your clothes,"paul said. "Yea,cause im just gonna go home like this,"i said. I saw collin,brady,trishchen,daniel,andrew,and quil sneek a peek. "Ew,guys,"i said and ran off. I through on my dress. I didnt zip it before i was pinned to a tree. Zefron. He whispered,"hey,beautiful." "You have to leave,quickly,"i said. "Why,"he asked interrupted by growls. He turned to see the guys. I slipped out from behind him. He flashed off,the guys followed. Except,brady. He walked back then came human form. "What are you doing,"i asked him. He came close and i backed against a tree. He pressed against me. His hands ran down my bare back. "What are you doing?what about vanessa?"i asked. "Were over,"Brady said with a sly smile. "Seths your best friend,"i said. "I think i love you,"brady said. I couldnt deny the attraction,but i loved seth. His lips moved close and he kissed me. "What the ----,"seths voice growled. I jumped and brady turned to face seth. "Brady,thats my girl,"seth said. "I love her,seth,"brady said. Seth growled and phased. Brady followed that lead. Soon,the other guys came running. I stood shocked. Seth and brady were growling,fiercly,at eachother. I didnt even want to think about what the were thinking to eachother. They started fighting. I ran off as fast as i could. I could hear a couple of the guys running after me. Quils wolf cut me off and i tripped on him. I just stood there and cried. They went off for a second and came back human form. It was quil,jared,daniel,and trishchen. "I cant believe i let this happen,"i growled at myself. "Its not your fault,"daniel said. "Are you kidding,if i would have pushed brady away from me,we would have never kissed,"i growled. "Wait,you guys kissed,"trishchen said. "Didmt sethmention it in his thoughts,"i asked. "No,he was just saying bad things towards brady,"quil said.

Actor Patrick Swayze, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Tennessee Supreme Court Judge A. A. Birch, and 15-year-old Trey Erwin.
All were amazing people who died from pancreatic cancer. It's called the silent killer because the symptoms don't show up for many until the cancer has progressed too far or the symptoms are just everyday ailments.
MORE: Stretch of road renamed for State Rep. DeBerry
By 2015, pancreatic cancer will be the second highest cancer killer in America. But when the cancer is caught early enough, the prognosis can be very different, but you have to be ready for a fight.
November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month in Tennessee. That announcement was made Monday in Nashville with everyone wearing pancreatic cancer purple bands. Standing next to Gov. Bill Haslam was legislator and history maker, State Rep. Lois DeBerry from Memphis, for the first time taking her fight against pancreatic cancer public.
Sunday night in Memphis, we talked one on one.
She's still fighting after surgery and eight rounds of chemotherapy at seven hours a day and an another two days a week of additional meds by pump. The symptoms for pancreatic cancer are very vague. Remember, former Speaker DeBerry thought she had a cold until another lawmaker spoke up. For others it's just a stomach ache.
Here is a website that has all the symptoms and treatments and risk factors.
Arguably, the first African American Tennessee speaker pro tempore, and longest serving House lawmaker is a power broker. Rep. DeBerry was handpicked to nominate fellow Tennessean, former Vice President Al Gore, at the 2000 Democratic National Convention. That speech, fired up the democratic base and left an esteemed indelible mark on those who track where leaders stand in history.
Nine years after a career high speech at the DNC, a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at Vanderbilt Hospital left the powerful speaker without words.
"Oh gosh, it was shocking. I could not believe cancer, pancreatic cancer," she said. "I was in a state of shock. Then I asked the doctor, I said how long do I have to live? He said if we go through the Whimple Procedure, that gives you five more years. I said five more years of my life? At that point I made in my mind that I was going to fight it and fight it to the end. And 2012, still fighting."
This is what Lois said about finding out she had pancreatic cancer: "My colleague noticed my eyes having jaundice in it. Told me I look sick. I ignored him. Next day he came back and told me (I) looked sicker. Made me some appointments. I thought, if (the) man think that much maybe I need to go to the doctor."
That colleague, another lawmaker, may have saved her life. She was in the early stages of the deadly cancer, when it is most treatable.
"Most people that I've talked to that have been diagnosed with cancer has had the stomach cramps. When you go to a doctor you need to demand that your doctor find out why you have stomach cramps."
"Was there a moment after you were diagnosed when you said, 'Lois, keep that to yourself, don't tell anybody?'," I said
"I did and when it got out, you know, I thought about it," Rep. DeBerry said. "Pancreatic cancer is so fatal, I'm left here for a reason. I got to tell the story. I want people to see when they look at me, knowing that I have pancreatic cancer that there is hope. Never give up! I think you got to bring awareness to this dreadful disease."

Hi there. I'm. 31 years old and for many years have been unhappy with how thin my upper lip was, having done extensive research into juvederm/restyline/where to go for it and who to have the work done by, I decided to go with a cosmetic surgery trained nurse at a private hospital close to where I live in London.
I was initially informed that she didnt do the 'trout pout' look which I was more than happy with as I simply wanted to enhance my vermillion border and 'bring up' my upper lip to look slightly more sensual. (I knew exactly what I wanted in my minds eye) she was in agreement that we would go into the vermillion border alone and not inject into the main part of my lip. Well, firstly there was no anaesthetic used and the injections hurt me like crazy but of course, you rationalise it as something vain you've chosen to do so just deal with it! Anyway she said my lips 'puffed up' quite quickly and I was instantly very happy with my left hand side of my lip. She put some into the other side and also the lowers to add a bit of volume. My right hand side however didnt seem to 'take' it! It dropped instantly! (My lip on one side went all low) so she decided to inject really high to sort of bring it up again but all that did is make me look as though I'd been punched in my face. Two weeks later I went back for the top up (she likes to do two stages incase of reaction) where i showed her how odd my rh side looked! She Added a little more but again it's all puffed up on top! My 'good' side has a lovely white roll to it but I've lost the pink to white border in my bad side somehow. Why? Could it be nerve damage? I shall take a photo and would be so grateful for any help it advice or thoughts. Many thanks
Hi there. I'm. 31 years old and for many years...

Have just uploaded another photo which may help to...
A couple of months on now, and I'm not very happy...
I feel compelled to have a second opinion, but that is going to cost me once more. My plan is to wait until all of the juvederm has completely dissolved. I will then go to a different clinic and hope for the best. I will show them pictures of my lips pre injection, immediately post injection, a couple of weeks later and now. So they know what they're working with and hopefully can help me obtain something better than this.
Please not me this cost me £300 and I have no idea what that is in US dollars

Thank you so much for posting a picture. I can see the asymmetry you were describing. :-/ How long has it been since you had the injections done? I know you had mentioned you had been to a 2 week follow-up, so I'm assuming its not still swelling from the injections(??).

You know, I can't say I'm familiar with this particular problem. However, we have a Q&A section where you can post your question and photos, then the board certified doctors who volunteer on RealSelf can share their opinions with you.
