Psychiatrists Perform Botox? So Do Gynecologists...
MakenzieR on 21 Sep 2011 at 4:00pm
Does this really happen? It did. "Went to a new clinic and just 'knew' after the injections that they weren't done right. Find out that the dr is a Psychiatrist, with very little facial Botox experience," wrote RealSelf member Sacramento9355 in the forums. Another member mentions in her RealSelf posting: "I once went to a doctor who did [Botox] on the side (she was an gynecologist who decided to offer this at her office)...the results there were poor."
We developed this Botox for Depression video to raise awareness that, regardless of training or specialty, in the US any medical doctor (MD) can perform cosmetic procedures from Botox to breast jobs.
In reality, it takes little more than a sign on the door and a website for a doctor to market themselves as a "cosmetic surgeon". Robert Singer, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in La Jolla, CA explains that legally any non-specialist in cosmetic medicine can sell these services:
Unfortunately there is no law in any state that restricts the scope of practice strictly to a physician's board certification. While there are some "pedigree" laws that require physicians disclose board certification, unfortunately few consumers understand or recognize the authenticity of board certification in the 28 member boards that are recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialities (ABMS) and the countless self-proclaimed and unrecognized board that provide nebulous credentials.
This topic was front page of USA Today last week -- a story that highlights what can go wrong with an unqualified doctor. Although the article links these doctors to tragedies like "death by lipo," that's not to say finding a board-certified specialist is the easy solution when considering cosmetic procedures.
Dermatologist Dr. Margaret Weiss, an Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins, told RealSelf "Board-certification in dermatology means that the physician is extremely knowledgeable about the skin, but the consumer should check their experience, interest in, and patient satisfaction with cosmetic procedures performed."
President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Phil Haeck, echoed her sentiment: "It doesn't mean you're going to have a perfect result just because you had a board-certified surgeon operating on you." RealSelf member kittykat in texas personally attests that "Board-Certified does not guarantee good results." She was unhappy with her Botox results and rated it Not Worth It.
What else can you look for? Hospital privileges, fellowships, and residency training, to name a few. Echoing Dr. Haeck, Susan Weinkle, MD, incoming President of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) recommends that "consumers should make sure that they receive their cosmetic medical procedures from physicians who have appropriate training." Dr. Weinkle adds that "the ASDS believes that appropriate training includes a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and the effects of aging and illness, knowledge of the skin and its underlying structures, familiarity with all aspects of the procedure and its indications, and residency and/or fellowship training in a specialty such as dermatology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology."
With so many things to consider, how can patients feel confident they are choosing the right provider for their cosmetic procedure?
Try these "Must-ask" questions before picking a doctor. As Dr. Robert Kotler says "a 5-minute phone call can save you 2 hours and $200."

This video started quite the discussion on my Facebook when I posted it. It seems like especially recently this has been a growing concern for people.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree it's an important topic, but the reality is that it's a tough message to get attention to when delivered like a public service announcement. We're very open to alternative ways on getting people to listen to the facts.

Also wanted to share this relevant opinion from a doctor not typically associated with cosmetic procedures...
"Oral surgeons' training is similar in length and difficulty to that of most medical surgeons. It entails hospital surgical residencies of at least four to six years, for a total of eight to 10 years of professional study. Oral surgery residents focus their training on the mouth, jaws and face. By contrast, plastic surgeons spread their curriculum over the entire body," Dr. Mark Feldman, executive director of the New York State Dental Association, wrote in response USA Today.
He added "Cosmetic facial surgeries have always been part of the training of oral surgeons, and those who are qualified to do these surgeries should not be prevented from doing so by restrictive laws."

During last week's livestream, I promised t-shirts to the first ten people to write 1MT1MT on their foreheads and tweet me a picture. These are the awesome winners.
(And yes, I did it myself, too. Got some weird looks in the hotel lobby afterwards).
If you see your forehead here but haven't gotten a DM on twitter from me today, email firstname.lastname@example.com for details on how to get your free shirt!

Joy Comes in the Morning
The bestselling author shares five ways to get a spiritual start to your day.
Every time my husband, Wayne, and I go on a trip, he grunts and groans as he lifts my heavy bag, then asks, "Do you have to bring all these books with you?" It's a rhetorical question. After some 40 years of marriage, he knows the answer. Yes, I do. Those books are how I start my day. Every day.
I'm up at 4:00. Before I head to the office, I sit at my kitchen table, read, study, pray and seek the Lord.
I have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams as a writer, with book sales topping a hundred million. There's even a TV show, Hallmark's Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove, based on one of my book series (I'm thrilled to say that it is now going into its second season).

But I couldn't have written all those books without the ones I start my day with.
First, there's the Bible. I read it cover to cover every year, marking and underlining passages. Amazingly, I always find some verse that speaks to me in a new way or one that speaks to me for the first time. I never feel as if I am rereading the Bible. I feel as if I am reading it anew.
Last winter I underwent what should have been a routine medical procedure and ended up in the ICU for a week with complications. Then Wayne fell, breaking his arm in two places and tearing his rotator cuff. What's more, I came down with shingles.
"I'm beginning to feel like Job," I moaned. No sooner had I uttered the words than I seemed to hear the Lord say to me, But Debbie, don't forget the great lesson of Job.
I grabbed my Bible and there it was: "After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before" (Job 42:10).
At the end of Job's horrific suffering, he was overwhelmed with blessings. I held on tight to that lesson and good health finally returned to Wayne and me.
Then I turn to my Prayer Journal, the place I put my deepest wishes, the secrets of my heart. There were times in my life when I could tell only God what I yearned for.
He helped me overcome the negative voices I heard in my head, like what my third-grade teacher said to my mom: "Debbie is a sweet little girl, but she'll never do well in school." Or the one who exclaimed, "You can't write, Debbie. Why, you can't even spell." (Eventually the Lord blessed me with spell check.)

All those years I prayed about my weight, I could hear the voice from my childhood that said, "Let's go straight to the Chubby Department, Debbie. They're sure to have your size there."
I keep from focusing solely on myself by picking three people to pray for every year. At some point during the year, generally around their birthdays, I give them a Bible, with a letter describing how I'm praying for them.
The true value of a prayer journal is that I can look back over the years and see a record of God at work in my life and in the lives of others.
Every week I pick a different Bible verse to memorize and I put it down in my Journal of God's Promises. Impressive, right? Okay, so sometimes I forget verses as I learn new ones, but many of them are inscribed on my heart.
For instance, if I've ever signed a book for you, you'll notice that under my name I wrote, "2 Tim 1:7." Whenever I feel afraid or doubtful I repeat that verse: "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, love and discipline." I have whispered the words so many times they are a part of me.
Years ago, when I was struggling to find God's purpose for my life, stymied by obstacles and my own failings, I was in the hospital to visit an ailing cousin and I got totally lost. It felt like a metaphor for my life. I muttered that verse from II Timothy.
Finally I stopped a doctor and asked how to find my cousin. He pointed to a door that was marked Absolutely No Admittance and hurried off. I was confused. Had he made some mistake? But what did I have to lose? I was already lost. I pushed open the door. It led me to just the right ward.

I read your article "Joy Comes In The Morning" at the doctor's office today and was inspired to begin keeping the journals myself. I came home and pulled together 3 journals that have been around, but not used, and am looking forward to keeping them as a daily effort to grow in the Lord. I will also download some of your books on my Kindle for my times of reading.
God bless you as you continue to minister in these various ways.
A Gratitude Journal--is the BEST! It keeps me on the road to Victory---to focus on the good and positive, and not where the enemy is always trying to make us look. We truly have so much to be grateful for!
Loved reading this article you did for Guideposts. You truly have the gift to write, Debbie.
I keep a prayer journal and daily journal and love doing it. I can go back and check what I was doing each year on any given date.
Keep on writing and never retire.
I truly enjoy your books. I wish you would write more about the divorced, single woman. It seems as though the entire world is made up of couples…... Dating couples, married couples, "living together" couples. For those of us, trying to follow the Word in the bible, life seems pretty lonely. I am a 65-year old, divorced woman living in Silverdale, WA. I recently lost my 39 yr. old daughter and it gives me peace to get lost in your books for at least an hour or two of my day. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Dianne , being a lone is very sad, but I have seen the Lord bring two people together, church groups have singles meetings I know some that have met and married at a church event for singles over 50 yrs old, God does not want us to be alone but I do know he does things perfect. Your other half is on its way, ask God for a life partner and I know he will give you, your hearts desire. I will be praying for your other half of happiness. God's will be done. Mary

Last season, Biggest Loser had to say goodbye to Jillian Michaels, and this year, they've said hello to her "replacement," former tennis star Anna Kournikova. Kournikova could never be considered a direct "replacement" to Jillian, who is a certified personal trainer, but she definitely has the star/cover girl part down. In fact, she's on the cover of the November issue of Women's Health, and inside, she talks about where she is in her life right now. Interesting, being that most of us are wondering, how does one go from being an internationally recognized tennis pro to training Biggest Loser contestants?
In Kournikova's words: "I've worked with the best nutritionists, psychologists, and coaches in the world. All that stuff is stored right here [tapping her forehead] and is, like, bursting out."
So, because she's had the resources and time to be counseled by pros ... she thinks she IS a pro. That's pretty much what she said, right? Cuz I'm not so convinced.
I get that she's an athlete and she has worked with some of the top people, but to me, that's just not enough. If I were a contestant on BL, I would want expect to be trained by someone who was actually one of the best trainers out there. Not just someone who has taken notes from one.
Sure, her career has made her a role model in some ways, but I'm not sure that's enough to qualify her as a BL trainer. It's actually kind of suspicious why she's doing this now. I guess her tennis career was basically over, and Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Maria Sharapova, etc. are all famous for their tennis wins as of late. Anna didn't lose her competitive streak, so maybe a straight-up modeling career is out of the question, so reality TV was the next step up?
Whatever her real reason, I'm not feelin' it. Maybe it's Anna in particular. Or maybe it's simply the fact that anyone who attempted to sub in for Jillian would have had their work cut out for them when attempting to win BL contestants' respect and BL fans' hearts.
Do you think Anna Kournikova is cut out to be a trainer?
Image via Women's Health
When they did the big reveal of Anna as being the new trainer at last year's finale, I rolled my eyes and predicted it was going to be a massive flop. She is a great athlete, yes, but she is not a trainer. She has never helped anyone lose weight. Why did they choose her? For the ratings. Pure and simple. Which to me is totally hypocritical of the show. If they're supposed to be helping the contestants why did they hire someone who IS NOT A TRAINER???
That being said, I'm disappointed in Dolvett too. His team should be dropping bigger numbers. I expected more from him.
Yeah, I can't take her seriously. Just because she played pro tennis doesn't mean she's qualified to train people (especially older folks who have specific medical issues that need special attention at times) She may know nutrition and how to burn calories, but how is she qualified to know how far she can push someone with a heart condition? I give her this one season before she's gone. I actually like Dolvett (who? EXACTLY!) better than her. That's saying something.
I totally agree with the previous posts. I can't take her seriously at all.
Its time for anna kournikova to hang up her shoes and say goodbye to the biggest loser show, she has not qualified at all and is bring the show down!

With only 100 units built, seeing a McLaren F1 on the streets is quite a rarity. And if you throw in the amount it takes to own one, the chances of ever driving an F1 are even smaller than just seeing one. That being said, some guys over in Japan were lucky enough to get behind the wheel of the British supercar and take it for a little joyride. Just listen to to the sound of the engine as the music flows out of the exhaust! Turn up your volume and enjoy!
The McLaren F1 is powered by a 6.1 liter, quad-cam, 48-valve V12 power unit that produces no less than 627 HP and drives through a bespoke six-speed transaxle gearbox. In March 1998, the F1 laid waste to the then-world record for the fastest production car in the world when it topped out at a speed of 240.14mph.

Look!: Taureg's Bookcase
Our readers are so creative, sometimes we wonder if there's anything they haven't done. Case in point: Our Look! Japanese Space-Saving Bookcase post. AT:SF reader Taureg wrote, I did this last year to see how I liked it - I plan to have it built in when I re-do the kitchen...I also built my home office so the outer side is a bookcase. Here's a photo of it.
Thanks, Taureg!
13 Comments
I love the combination of books and carpets. It feels so rich. Can we have a house tour, taureg?
Wow, love the open space. My home office looks like hobbits work out of it.
I work on a tv show Lipstick Jungle. One of the characters, "Wendy" has a similar set up in her NY loft. The show is on nbc at ten on thursdays. It is a similar set up to the Japanese photo. The cabinets go up 12" higher than the counter so when you are outside of the kitchen you can't see the counter. But the part that is higher than the counter is actually a cubby on the reverse side. So you can put things like your toaster, etc in the cubby and not have it clutter up your counter. Also it keeps the counter out of view which can be nice. We actually shot originally in someone's loft in Manhatten, so what you see on the show is what their kitcchen was set up like. But when the show went into production they built a duplicate on a set. Check it out. I was taking measurements at work so I could maybe copy it someday!
House tour! House tour! Don't you just want to see the rest of the plan from this tantalizing snippet?
Could we also someday have a Books at Home Month, in which we talk sensibly about how to take proper care of books and integrate them into home design? Some of us truly cannot read-and-donate or get everything at the public library because we constantly need reference books that are too obscure for libraries to stock.
Where's the receptionist?
ha ha, patrick, that's my sentiment exactly! when i first saw this pic i thought, 'what kind of pseudo-moroccan coffee shop is that?' OOPS!
I like this version better than the japanese version from the earlier post.
I am inspired to save this photo for a couple of years until I get my counters re-done and have this applied to the outer side of my prep counter that divides kitchen from dining. I think this would be a great way to create open storage for other common use or artsy items.
I love books, but I don't really care for bookcases in my living space because books are dust collectors. I keep a handful of cookbooks over the stove, gardening books in my living room end table, and whatever I'm currently reading next to the bed. After lots of moving over a lifetime, I realized that hauling around books was attachment to physical representations of the intangible experiece in the stories. I can get any book I've ever read again if I feel compelled to re-read, so why port a book I haven't looked at in 20 years?
Bless your little heart, kimg924, that you only read fiction and light non-fiction and never have to worry about professional publications!
Condescending, much?
Embrace the books (and bookcases) in your life. You never know when you're going to want to reread (for instance) "Lark Rise to Candleford" or look up the precise relationship of Juno to Hercules, and (after all) why delay the gratification?
Personally I think a home without books just feels weird. I can't even imagine a living room without them. To me they embody comfort. But I'm an academic, so no matter how many I cart over to my office, they just seem to creep into all the crevices and flat surfaces of my home . . .
Exactly. Books everywhere. That is comfort for me, too.
What's the colour on the walls??

Shut up and squat.
I don't count the calories from oil, as I cook with a nonstick pan and barely use a drop...
I'd say your best bet is to estimate..
I don't see a problem with it.
Splenda gives me headaches, so I tend to avoid it.
As a rule of thumb, I try to consume only whole grain breads.
It all depends on the type of pizza you get. For example, every sunday my dad makes homemade pizza for our family and the only fat in the whole pie comes from olive oil.
Do artificial sweeteners retain water or no?
Is anyone else going to check this out?
all im saying is that you shouldn't be cutting at 135 lbs. you should be eating every clean food in sight, and you probably shouldn't even bother counting your calories.
eat sweet potatos, rice,...
i suggest eating 10,000 calories a day
I'm 162 and I'm still trying to find my maintenance level. I've been upping my calories by about 700 total calories a week, and i'm still slowly losing weight.
Right now I take in about 2300 per...
cottage cheese
That's pretty nifty...How did you make that?
i think they salt the hell out of those chickens, so those who watch their sodium intake, beware.:)
hmm, but what if he didn't cook the oats when he made a shake? doesn't cooking them increase the rate they are digested, if only a little?
back/bi day.
Does anyone else shake as they reach the top of their deadlift?
Is it dangerous to shake a lot and continue to pull as you near lock-out?
Thanks for your reply, Bradley.
I forgot to mention that last night I threw a tablespoon of peanut butter in with my MRP shake.
The reason I asked was because I pretty much ran out of food,...
What are your thoughts?
I just picked up a box of Meso-Tech MRP's, and I'm wondering if it would be good (or bad) idea to take them shortly before I go to bed.

Zipp had issues with my Revolution Wheelworks review, and the subsequent Zipp article has now upset Steve Hed. I got an email from Hed stating that while he and Zipp have a cordial relationship and would like to continue to do so, he wanted to rebut some of the claims in the article.
Round 1
Regarding Poertner's claim that Hed optimizes his wheels for a yaw angle of 26 degrees, Hed wrote:
We do not base our wheel designs on a 26 degree wind angle. It is true that our website points out that a slower rider (19mph) can see an angle of 26 in a 10mph sidewind. The preceding sentence on our website states that a 27mph rider in the same wind sees a 17 degree apparent wind, and it illustrates that at different speeds riders encounter different wind conditions. This is not a statement that we base our rim designs on 26 degrees.
As for this statement, "before Zipp introduced the 808 in 2004, neither company produced rims of this shape, and that before the 808 ventured to be 28mm wide, neither company was making super wide toroidal rims that are now the staple of both companies", Hed responded:
Our patent was granted in 1990, the same year we produced the toriodal shaped CX wheel. All our wire spoked wheels have used this toroidal shape continuously since then. The original CX had a 26mm wide rim section - certainly wide for the time, and still wide by current standards. The Jet 90 and CX Deep entered into production in 1996, nine years before the 808 was available.
And regarding this, "He also points out that over the last few years the Hed rim shapes and wind tunnel data have started to look an awful lot like Zipp rim shapes and Zipp data."
In the early 90s Zipp's wheels were deep V shapes with flat sides and a rounded nose section. Our CX had a 21mm width at the rim bed, and bulged out to 26mm partway down the rim before narrowing to a rounded nose at the spoke bed. We were using wind tunnels in the late '80s, and nothing has changed about the way air flows over a wheel since then. The fact is that since Zipp acquired our patent (sometime in the late 90s) their wheels have changed shape to more closely mirror the wheels we started selling 18 years ago. We have continually improved them since then, but the underlying aero shapes are still similar. As Zipp's wheel shapes have changed to more closely resemble ours, it only follows that their wind tunnel data is more like ours too.
Round 2
I asked Hed what angle or range of angles does he optimize his wheels for?
The answer is that there is not a likely yaw angle, there is a percentage where one wheel is faster or slower, and a percentage where they are roughly equal. What we tried to convey (and what was misconstrued) on the website is that this percentage changes for different speed riders. Figuring the range of wind angles from straight headwind (zero degrees) to tailwind (170 degrees) the numbers for H3 vs Jet9 work out like this:
A 20mph rider in a 7 mph wind is faster on the H3 in 38% of possible wind angles
Faster on a Jet 9 in 26% of possible wind angles
Roughly the same in 36% of wind angles.
With this wind, in 3/4 of wind angles the H3 on a 20mph guy is better off or not hurt on the H3. In 1/4 of wind angles, the Jet 90 will be the faster wheel. Same conditions with a 27mph guy? 90 will be faster 53%, H3 will be faster 26%, and about the same is 21%. The argument that courses have turns and direction changes is quite valid. It makes it very likely that riders will "see" several wind angles, and it also makes it likely that they will see close to the full 180 degrees of possible wind. Without modeling a specific course we think that the "faster, slower, equal" method makes a lot of sense.
Round 3
I asked Hed if his way of figuring gives equal weight to all yaw angles regardless of probability. If it is a bell curve distribution, shouldn't those percentages be weighted to not only what's possible, but what's more probable as well?
Yes. That is why if one has a "drag" chart of our wheels, and uses the yaw calculator- they can model a course for a certain wind condition, and direction. If you know that in your area, you are just doing a local TT on Saturday morning and wind speeds are never over 4 mph and you a 27 mph fast guy- you just need to look at under 5 degree data. This will help you narrow down your wheel choices.
The percentage idea, is just a way of giving a customer something to think about, as a way of explaining the difference between different wheels. All of our aero wheels decline in drag with yaw, but at some point they "stall" and the drag climbs. A three spoke maybe doesn't drop as far as a Stinger 90, but it has lower drag at higher yaw angles, where the Stinger 9 has higher drag.
Round 4
The drag chart is here on Hed's site. I had a feeling Zipp would object to Hed's data, so I tried to pre-empt another response from Zipp by asking Hed why the Zipp Sub 9 never goes negative in drag in Hed's chart as Zipp claims, even though it was pretty easy to make it move forward in a crosswind:
There is of course no real way to reconcile why the Sub 9 goes negative in Zipp testing and not in Hed testing. Neither company would ever want to fully disclose the test procedure because it would then allow other companies to duplicate the processes for their own benefit.
My guess as to why the Sub 9 is not negative is that Zipp tests without a cassette installed. We always test with a Dura Ace cassette installed - it is either an 11-21 or 11-23 I have forgotten as that cassette permanently lives at LSWT in San Diego. They may have tested with a skinnier tire than our test which was a 21mm Vittoria CX. The skinnier tire would give the Sub 9 (the same is true of the Stinger disc) a slightly later stall point and thus lower drag. I would guess that if we used a 19mm tire and no cassette that the Sub 9 would go negative. Besides Hed and Team Columbia I have never heard of anyone else testing a Sub 9 in a wind tunnel so no one has ever independently confirmed negative drag for that wheel.
As you can see, it's very hard to wade through each side's claims and hope to reach an objective conclusion. Here's a 3rd party study that weights the various angles based on probability and pops out one number for each wheel. The only Hed wheel they tested was the Hed3, which absorbed 3 more watts than the Zipp 808 at 50kph, the equivalent of 22 grams of drag. Here's those two wheels on Hed's drag calculator for you to assess what that 22 gram difference looks like over a range of angles. To muddy the waters even more, the Roues Artisanales distribution curve peaks at zero, while Zipp would argue that it should peak somewhere between 10 and 15 degrees.
totally agree with Hugh Jorgan. The credibility in this case clearly sways toward Steve. The reason Zipps cost so damn much is because they spend money on marketing like a company 10 times their size, so even though you may not have the best wheels in the world, they'll make you FEEL like you do. They should consider putting their resources toward actually doing research in the wind tunnel instead of just taking pictures in there...
When the Sub9 is spinning at a given speed, at a given wind speed and a given yaw, it appears to produce this "negative drag" that everyone's talking about. In fact, what's actually happening is the wheel is in a condition that actually produces _lift_ - like off the ground lift, like an airplane - which is unexpected and, accordingly, wind tunnel sensors aren't set up to measure force in that direction - so they erroneously record it as negative drag. So I postulate that the different results concerning "negative drag" can actually be attributed to sensor setup in the wind tunnel. You heard it here first. It's the same thing that makes a spinning baseball curve or break in a given direction: the magnus effect.
Looks good! Everybody should really step it up!
Good WORK Dieter!
Opportunity favors the prepared...
Great - now an even bigger shit show than this year.
what happened to someone's Zipp/PT wheel today???
I don't deserve to have someone else pay for my hobby? Damnit! I may need to take up basket weaving. At least there the spectators and sponsors will respect my accomplishments.
Seriously. Master Sallee really needs to grow up. First you don't air dirty laundry in public. Second, get everything in writing. Then there won't be any misunderstandings. You can't go around treating everyone who helps you out like you do your parents.
i know it is hard getting all of this stuff paied for out of your own pocket,
but you need to know most good pros and good local racers do pay for everything for quite a while.
keep you head down and keep getting results and the support will come,
if you get a rep for asking for more than your team can give all of the time you will soon have no team, directors on your level do this for fun not for money, so just make some friends and have fun,
you have some talent it would be a wast for you to stopp racing cause people think you are a whore for free stuff
[for 4:55]
Mom! The meat loaf! Fuck!
What are you talking about, no exposure...? I want to buy five sets of Williams wheels because of that exchange.
why repost that email?
if someone is going to blog smth, then it's fair game for criticism i guess. nevertheless if you get a kick out of harassing a kid, that's weak.
Bottom line is that this kid needs to grow up. This is regional cycling ... Getting a top 10 at a bethel spring race is not getting your sponsor major exposure. Guys like Williams are doing this as a give back to the cycling community. The exposure he gets from a guy like Connor is nothing.
Connor will be lucky to get on a local team next year with a free set of bibs and jersey. Class sometimes gets a cyclist a lot farther than results. He has neither.
Maybe he can ride for Rock Racing, lolz.
Another conversation with Williams Cycling:
July 24, 2009
It seems that Keith has found his panties in a bind, because I really never could have imagined that someone would take this shit so seriously. A freaking ULTEGRA DERAILLEUR... come on. It's also humorous to me how the cost on an Ultegra derailleur is about $70, which is a fraction of the $100 dollars that was promised to me for entry fees, which was never received. And also, thanks for the 19's. They are awesome. I bent the front wheel and cracked the rear wheel. In just three months of regular training... and he knows this. Thus, they will likely do me a lot of good sitting in my garage. Let me know if anyone wants the hubs, I'll sell them for $20 shipped. Read this email. I didn't change it in any way.
From: Williams Cycling (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Sent: Wed 7/22/09 1:12 PM
To: 'Stephen Sallee' (email@example.com)
I re-read your email and believe you are serious and feel entitled to more support than I can provide a Cat 2 cyclist.
Effective immediately, you are terminated from the New England Williams Cycling team. You are no longer allowed to wear the Williams kit in any cycling event. The first set of wheels I sent you (19's) are yours to keep per my contract with the team. They second set I sent out to you for Fitchburg is not part of the contract and I require you sent them back immediately. I will email you a return UPS label today. Please put the wheels in a wheel box and drop off at any UPS shipping place. If you do not do this in the next few days, I will have a member of the Williams Cycling team pick them up from you.
I have many frends who will be at Nationals in Bend. They will confirm you are not riding in the Williams kit or racing on Williams Wheels.
Good luck with your future endeavors in cycling.

I left you a message on your phone and you didn't call me back or email me - I'm really disappointed. I've been giving you top 10 results since March. I paid 450 for Fitchburg, 500 for Superweek, and well over 750 for nationals, all out of pocket. I know you guys are tight, but I've been easily out-performing Fred and Ryan on a weekly basis, no joke.
I'm taking your wheels to nationals, obviously, but I don't think it's right that I have to pay 100% for an Ultegra derailleur, after being ignored, when I'm getting these results and going these places. I can't continue to race if I have to pay for every entry fee, travel, food, gas, and bike maintenance. I really need some help!
What's my ween yaw angle in a crit? Wholly poo I lolz.
Gimme some dem wheels -- you know my reputation in the industry!
fast wheels just make up for you sucking you are all slow... lolz
maybe REALLY fast wheels

which wheels get me closer to Lisban??????????
Why not Valentine's day?
Can't these wheel stories be posted at a time when they'd get maximum readership from like-minded riders - say, New Year's Eve around 11 pm?
Cool toto shirt!
I've found Reynolds Wrap on my spoked wheels to get the same aerodynamic benefit of any disc wheel in my arsenal. Plus, I can peel it off and bake a potato after my ride. Can't do that with Zipp's. That's value add.
can you ask Steve what wheel is best if you can only go 15mph with a 7mph tail wind? :)
I think it is time for you to bring out your wind tunnel and test the wheels. Or maybe you can convince mythbusters to do the testing on one of their shows?
Is it me, or does Steve easily win the credibility fight here?
You lost me at HED....
Maybe we should have an interview with Chris King and Cane Creek. Now that would be hot.

i hardly consider pvp gear to be welfare epics. while it is true that you can afk for that gear, there are tools avialable to responsible players to report the afkers. 1 epic costs about 12k honor. to do that it will take around 6 hours of work. 1 peice = 6 hours. it took me around that for my pants. i was then takent o kara where my hunter got a bow, a pair of boots, a ring, a necklace, a quest reward trinket and ring. and of course rep. how is this not welfare? i bet if I ran a couple more I would have gotten additional peices, perhaps the t4 gloves and helmet, who knows.
either way i think both options for epics are pretty balanced. Blizzard is very skilled at balancing thier games. I trust thier judgment for both badge rewards, drop rates and pvp gear.

The Tefal Cook4Me is a Multicooker which means it can brown, cook, reheat, steam, pressure cook, or cook 50 different pre-programmed recipes or be used manually to create your own thing. All in all this really is a brilliant invention. Having been sent one to review (you can read about the Cook4Me in more detail here) and also see how easy it is to make a dish such as Beef Madras in just 20 minutes.
Well today let me tell you about this seriously quick and very tasty Sausage Casserole with cooking time of just 9 minutes. No fancy ingredients either, in fact I used a shop bought cook-in sauce in order to show just how very easy and simple this multicooker really is.
The Cook4Me as I said come with 50 pre-programmed recipes and to create your own recipe is just find a similar recipe, in this case it was Sausage and Bean Casserole. Now, none of the recipes are difficult at all nor do they require any fancy ingredients. But the pre-programmed recipe called for dicing a carrot and a red pepper and a glass of red wine. Okay that's nothing tricky as I say but what if you actually can't be bothered to even do that?
So, armed with a jar of sausage casserole cook-in sauce 'Homepride' if you must know!
I chopped an onion and a few mushrooms which you don't have to but doing so will of course give more flavour. I then selected the sausage and bean stew recipe on the Cook4Me and browned the sausages and onions as instructed. Then I poured in the cooking sauce, closed the lid and waited a whole 9 minutes for it to cook! Now, this caught me out a bit since the mashed potatoes weren't ready. All my fault as it does tell you at the start how long or should I say quickly it will take to cook. Please note the cooking time of 9 minutes is to serve 4 people - to serve 2 people the cooking time is less and just 6 minutes!
Anyway, no need to fuss since the Tefal Cook4Me automatically switches to keep warm. Food can be kept warm for up to 90 minutes.
Up next time is soup using a pre-programmed recipe but I can't decide between Butternut or Leek and Potato, what do you reckon?

Stylusboy: The name Stylusboy came about when I was creating an email address a number of years ago. My name is Steve Jones and as you can imagine trying to get an email address without a million numbers after it, with a name like that is nearly impossible. So I decided to just create something easy to remember. I was sat in front of a well known printer at the time and saw stylus and that than turned into Stylusboy. When I started making these acoustic tunes I created a Myspace page (yes back in the day when it worked) and started performing as Stylusboy because I felt it was more distinctive and original. So there you go!
SB: Yeah I am a Coventry boy born and bred! Coventry does have a wonderful musical history with people like The Specials and The Selector and also recently The Enemy. It still has loads of wonderful music both bands and solo people. People like Wes Finch, The Shackletons, Emma Mcgann, Kristy Gallacher, and The Suit Corps! We also have a wonderful free music festival each July that is called The Godiva Festival where local bands play and acts like Idlewild, Badly Drawn Boy and all sorts of other people play. Its a lovely festival and I love bumping into old friends every year!
SM: As a songwriter who would you say is the biggest influence on you both musically and lyrically?
SB: I think Elbow are stunning. I think they are one of the only bands that I listen to where I do own all their albums. Musically they are just gorgeous with all the different interplay between all the little melodies that each song has. I love the vibe and feeling that lifts the listener. Guy Harvey is a great understated singer and a great guy from what I have been told. The gig they did for the BBC with the concert orchestra is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and listened too.
SM: Are there any new bands/artists that you are really buzzing off right now?
SB: Yeah loads! I am really enjoying the music of Jess Morgan (www.jessmorgan.co.uk) who is a country folk singer songwriter from Norwich. I am playing a house show with her in July. I am enjoying my good friend Andy Mort's music (www.atlumschema.com) who is like a one man Radiohead Kid A stylus! Another local artist is Wes Finch who I am really enjoying (www.wesfinch.co.uk) he plays americana style folk. They are all wonderful and deserve to be heard.

How To Spend It June 2012, Aiste-Regina Kliveckaite
My favorite Australian actress, Nicole Kidman looked heavenly, as she celebrated the premiere of the film "The Paperboy" with fellow castmates, at the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival, held at Palais des Festivals.
Nicole wore a rose pink custom made Lanvin gown by designer Alber Elbaz. The asymmetric one shoulder gown was connected together via an embroidered crystal strap, across a sexy full open back.
Nicole finished off her stylish look with an up-do, rose lip-stick, strappy sandals and vintage jewelry from Cartier.
Kirsten Dunst attended amfAR's annual Cinema Against AIDS gala in a pleated Louis Vuitton silk pleated gown that reminds me of a mermaid and it's a good thing. It's magical!
The gown featres a baby blue bodice, with a mesh inset, and an aqua green teared skirt. What truly makes the dress is the embellished waist band of multicolored floral appliqué.
Kirsten wore her hair down and wavy, matching her gown with a stand-out Louis Vuitton mother-of-pearl clutch.
Bjork won the award for Artist of the Year at the 16th Annual Webby Awards in New York City, on the 21st of May 2012.
The Icelandic singer-songwriter is known for her wild fashion taste and delivered in an Iris Van Herpen Fall 2011 Couture creation from the 'Capriole' collection. I love the wig and makeup.
Zooey Deschanel wore a Moschino Fall 2012 dress to the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday night. Zooey always leans toward the 60's vibe, with a retro looking up-do, horn shaped earrings and Miu Miu black pumps. The coral orange lip color is a nice touch.
Donna Karan, Draped stretch crepe-jersey gown. Buy online.
Diane Kruger at the Calvin Klein Celebrate Women in Film Show at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. Diane wore the designer, in the color of the moment, coral, with white Givenchy ankle-strap heels. Perfection.
Jessica Chastain at Calvin Klein Celebrate Women in Film Show at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. Jessica looked stunning wearing a long sleeved coral dress by Calvin Klein, matched with white Elie Saab heels and a beige clutch. The more of Jessica Chastain I see, the more impressed with her sense of style I am.
Salma Hayek dressed to impress at the Premiere of Madagascar 3, at Cannes Film Festival 2012. Wearing a Gucci gown, her cleavage was impressive, as usual.

There has been a lot of talk this season about Greg Oden, maybe more so than any other year due to his impending contract negotiations. I've had this blog topic on my mind for months, but it's taken me quite a while to put pen to paper as they say.
From the beginning of Oden's tenure in Portland, he was looked at as the championship piece that the Blazers needed. He was chosen #1 in the 2007 draft, a rally was held for him in downtown Portland, and it was Oden mania before he had played a single game in a Blazer uniform. But before the 2007-08 season even started, he underwent microfracture surgery and missed the entirety of his rookie season. Microfracture: a word that we as Blazer fans have become much too accustomed to hearing and far too familiar with, especially in regards to Oden. In his first 4 NBA seasons, Greg Oden has played only 82 games. We all know the story.
I'm just going to go ahead and say it: In my opinion, most of those who say they would have picked Kevin Durant over Greg Oden in 2007 are lying. Hindsight is a funny thing, and it's managed to turn many people into naysayers and has people repeating the phrase "I told you so" time and time again.
Despite what many NBA fans (and GMs for that matter) would like, real NBA centers do not grow on trees. If they did, the Blazers would not be searching as hard as they have been at the end of this season to find a big man to round out the roster. When the opportunity to draft a center of Greg Oden's caliber comes along, you don't look the other way. You make that pick. You take a chance. And you don't look back.
Having said all that, I feel the need to emphasize that I still believe in Greg Oden. I still believe that Greg can be the basketball player everyone thought he could be when he was drafted in 2007. He has had numerous setbacks both physically and, I imagine, mentally. But each time Greg has gotten injured he has picked himself up off the floor (quite literally) and said he is not going to give up and he will come back. He has rehabbed and worked hard to get back on the floor, only to suffer another setback. He hasn't given up. So why do so many Blazer fans seem to have given up on him?
I was at the Rose Garden in December 2009 when Greg got hurt. I watched in agony, as his teammates stared at his knee in horror, the trainers tended to him on the floor, and 20,000 Blazer fans looked on in silence. I read the stories after that game about how Greg apologized to his teammates and to Kevin Pritchard for what had happened. He apologized. What kind of pressure has to be on Greg's shoulders (self imposed or otherwise) for him to suffer an injury like that and feel the need to apologize? This game was about 2 months before Greg's 22nd birthday. Now I don't know about you, but at 21 I was nowhere near ready to have an entire NBA franchise's hopes and dreams on my shoulders. I know, it comes with the territory, but it doesn't make it any easier.
In January of this year, Oden spoke with local media for the first time since having additional microfracture surgery in the fall of 2010 (transcript). Reading that interview broke my heart. It was really the first time in Greg Oden's 4 years in Portland that I felt dejection in his words. These particular questions and answers stood out:
Q: What's the reception you've received while you've been out?
A: It's OK. There's been a lot of negativity out there. I just try not to deal with that.
Q: Do you hear some positives?
A: Sometimes, sometimes. I definitely hear a lot more negatives. But there's
definitely some positive people that come up to me and that makes me feel good.
Reading that people are making negative comments to Greg really disappointed me. Is this what some people are doing? Are they running into Greg somewhere out in Portland and feeding him negativity? I spoke to someone personally who told me they had made a snide comment directly to Oden. What do they hope to accomplish with that? This is not Greg's fault. His body has betrayed him on numerous occasions. Nobody wants that to happen.
I had the opportunity to meet Greg earlier this year at a Blazers season ticket holder event. It was only a couple of days after the January interview. When I shook Greg's hand I told him that I was glad he's a Blazer and I hope he remains a Blazer. I've heard the opinion that the Blazers should give up on Greg, not sign him to a contract at the end of this year, and move on. I think that would be a mistake. I remember Greg's injury in December 2009 like it was yesterday, but I also remember how well he was playing leading up to that date. In the 2 weeks before his injury he matched his career-high in points (24) and set a new career-high in rebounds (20). He is a beast! Personally, I am proud of Greg for battling back from his injuries, and I'd like to see him go into battle at the Rose Garden and do so in a Blazer uniform.

You said it all, Kristin, and said it well. Critical and downright nasty remarks seem to echo the loudest and longest, but that doesn't mean they reflect a majority view. In the case of Greg Oden, they certainly do not. Thanks for letting Greg know in person how we feel about him!
Great blog. These are my feelings exactly. HANG IN THERE GREG! We've got your back.
With you all the way Kristin! Nicely done!! Naysayers and arm chair "quarterbacking" is easy...putting yourself honestly in someone's else size 100's is a lot harder..."We" equate money with everything....I wonder how all those criticizing would do if they were the one being critiqued about their heart, soul and lively hood. hmmm oh to find out.
Amen, Sista!! I am in total agreement as well. I can hardly wait to see what element Greg can add to this already great team!! Championship anyone!!!!! I hope we keep Greg and I pray he comes in with hope and enthusiasm and works hard in the off season to be ready for training in the fall.
Excellent, heart-felt piece! I too, agree with you whole-heartedly Kristen. Like you said, anyone who says they would pick Durant over Oden, when even the experts were saying he was a once-in-a-lifetime big man, you don't give that chance up, no matter what. Durant is a great player, but someone like Oden doesn't come along too often. I certainly hope he remains a Blazer for the forseeable future. I can't wait to see him back on the court - before he went down this most recent time, he was doing great and next year, we're going to be great with him back in the line-up. If I saw him in downtown Portland, I would very enthusiastically go up to him, give him a great big hand shake/high and tell that I can't wait to see him back on the court, where he belongs. Again, great piece!-Anees, from Prague
Great post Kristin, couldn't agree more! The sad thing is, is that when G.O. plays again, everyone will say "Oh I always have been an Oden fan!"....
I understand the arguments for breaking ties with Oden, whether they are based in emotion - 'both Oden and the Blazer organization need to make a clean break and start new' - or in confidence - 'Oden's injury history makes him undependable'. But like you, Kristin, I disagree with those arguments. The Blazers need Oden if they want to compete for a championship anytime soon. And I would argue that Oden needs the Blazers, too - to have the opportunity to cleanse any lingering demons or doubts. I continue to wish Greg all the best as he rehabs.
I love Greg Oden I just wish he would resign and start playing here not somewhere else next season. Heal up and sign up we will be cheering for you. ROLL ON ODEN AND THE BLAZERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In my blogs I talk of trading a lot of people but never once have I said let's trade Greg Oden, Because I feel honestly that he does have a lot to prove but not to us only to himself. When he is healthy he will be a top tier center.
Thanks for the feedback and kinds words everyone! Debra: It's gotta be hard for Greg to have people challenging his motivation/heart/etc. I just hope it adds fuel to his fire.Dustin: At least we'll know the people who commented here aren't any of "those" people!Jeff: I agree. Oden is a huge piece in the Blazers' future and we need him.Mbmurr: I don't blame Greg or the Blazers for not signing an extension this season. It's important for the Blazers that they make sure Greg is on track and motivated in his rehab. But I do hope it happens this offseason. And I agree, when healthy he will be a top tier center. We saw glimpses of it before he went down in 2010.
GREAT read, thank you!
Well said Kristin. I've always believed in Greg and I can't wait until he is back on the court and I hope it is in a Blazers uniform. It's so easy to 2nd guess decisions but I agree that almost every team would have selected Greg if they had the opportunity.Dustin, I agree with you. The same people are supporting LA now! I've also always believed in LA!

Do This Super-Simple Move to Burn an Extra 200 Calories a Day
"The real move: stand on one leg. When it comes to calories, standing burns more than sitting—about 30 to 50 more per hour. Standing on one leg ("unipedal standing," if you're fancy) ups the ante, burning another 20 to 30 more calories on top of that—while also engaging your core muscles and improving your balance."
"If you want to challenge yourself even more, slowly straighten your leg in front of you, then swivel it to the back. Standing on one leg in 10 to 12 five-minute increments can add up to an extra 200 calories per day—not bad at all!

I have loremaster as well- and it took lots of grinding! But I still use my Grand Crusader at all times. It was a grind to get this title..wipe after wipe, week after week till all 25 members of our raid did everything perfectly :)
ScorchHellfire said...
Same... I've worn the title since I got it over a year ago since it fits my personality. The only time I use another is when I pvp. Then I wear my old school Sergeant title...
Ditto for Loremaster. With the occasional Guardian of Cenarius because hey, nelf druid.
Every scrub, pug, and waste of skin on my realm has Kingslayer now and it really means nothing any more (again, on my realm. It's a bitch of a fight and congrats to everyone who downs him)
Though I am eyeing the Dragonslayer title, and 2 reps from The Exalted.
Human paladin's RP story has her as a refugee in Ironforge, so she sports the Of Ironforge title.
Seriphnoexon said...
I personally prefer "Mooding of the Shattered Sun" on my warrior, while I have "Hamlet of the Nightfall" on my mage. Each title I obtain is atleast somewhat based on what I've done as that character, the personality they've developed as characters over my time playing them. For instance, I wouldn't give my Death Knight the Crusader title, simply because it wouldn't make sense to me.
So, as follows, my titles of choice are as follows.
Hamlet of the NIghtfall (Mage)
Mooding of the Shattered Sun (Warrior)
Ilsondre, Guardian of Cenarius (Druid)
Seriph, Bane of the Fallen King (Death Knight)
Viridiel the Argent Champion (Paladin)
Shurelia the Light of Dawn (Priest)
Duelist Mynoa (Rogue)
blizzardsprules said...
I prefer my 'Herald of the Titans', especially the fact I'm joining my old dwarven RP guild which the priests serve Eonar, effectively the Titan of Life.

Bones can tell us a lot about the owner: What species was it? What did it look like? How old was it? But one of the most interesting questions to me is, what did it suffer from? Perhaps that's a bit sadistic, but the injuries and diseases that dinosaurs suffered from can tell us a lot about how they lived, and in some cases, how they died.
The reason this field of science exists (palaeopathology – the study of abnormalities in ancient organisms) is because certain diseases and injuries affect the bones of an animal. If you've ever broken a bone, it would have healed itself with a distinctive lumpiness around the old break. After you die, that lumpy bone will be an instant identifier to a palaeopathologist that, at some time in your life, you broke that bone. It also contains clues as to how long ago it happened and even how it happened (such as a twisting injury, an impact, or repetitive stress). Diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, arthritis, gout, and infections (to name a few) all affect the bone differently so that they can each be identified.
The most famous example of a (very) sick dinosaur is an Allosaurus (nicknamed "Big Al", and who had a whole BBC 'Walking With Dinosaurs' documentary about him) from Wyoming, USA. Palaeontologist Rebecca Hanna studied its bones and identified a remarkable 19 injured or 'sick' bones, which she was able to identify as resulting from a wide variety of injuries (fractures), infection, traumatic infection, and developmental abnormalities. These maladies were built up over the animal's life but do not appear to have killed the animal. However, a very painful and badly infected middle toe probably slowed him down significantly and would have made it difficult to run down prey.
Broken bones (fractures) and bone infections appear to have been the most common problems that dinosaurs suffered from. There is also evidence that they had dental problems, tumours, arthritis, gout, developmental disorders (such as fused vertebrae) and healed bites.
So what does all this evidence tell us? Firstly, it paints a very real, 'living' picture of life during the time of dinosaurs. Second, some dinosaurs (especially, it seems, the tyrannosaurs) accumulated many injuries over their lifetime meaning they were tough enough to keep hunting and feeding even with a broken toe, or leg, or arm! Lastly, they tell us these animals lived extremely active, and often dangerous lives. Maybe that's not too hard to imagine from looking at the teeth of a T. rex, but it's something else to see the leg bone of a pitiful hadrosaur covered in gouges and puncture wounds from the teeth of one!
[I 'borrowed' the title of this article from Darren Tanke and Bruce Rothschild's compendium "Dinosores: an annotated bibliography of paleopathology".]

This is about to be a wall of unnecessary, probably ignored text but I don't really care because I have no where else I'd rather put it than here (where maybe one random stranger will read it).
I don't really know what to say but I just need to vent. I feel so lost. Why, Sarah? Why. We'll never know your reasoning, but does it really matter? You're gone and it doesn't feel real.
I looked up to you. I wanted to be like you. If only I could've told you how much you stood for when I saw you two weeks ago - courage, beauty, happiness. You were everything that I wanted to be. The all around MVP, funniest, most courageous girl. I admired you, and now I wonder why you felt as if you couldn't reach out.
My teachers cried on Monday. My retired navy, tough guy AP gov teacher broke down. Katie and I burst into tears after practice. We just stood there, in the rain, holding each other and sobbing for what felt like forever. You didn't know how loved you truly were. You didn't say goodbye.
I know you were hurting. No one is looking for an apology. No one needs an explanation. It's just that deep down in my heart I hope, I really hope, that at that last moment, you didn't regret it.
Rest in peace, Froggy. You will be loved always and forever.

LITERAL ADDICTION's Review of Personal Demon
Submitted by MichelleLOlson on November 21, 2012 - 10:05am.
Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Guest Reviewer - Kathy M:
I wasn't familiar with author Susan Sizemore's work and so I was wonderfully surprised by how much I enjoyed Personal Demon.
Someone or something is committing horrifying murders with dark magic involved and Ivy Bailey, one of Chicago's vampire hunters, is given the task of stopping the killings. Unfortunately, Vampire Enforcer Christopher Bell has his own investigation going on which keeps derailing Ivy's mission.
One of my favorite aspects of this book is the bantering and bickering that goes one between these two.
Personal Demon has the perfect balance of darkness and snarkiness.
When I first started reading this book, I wasn't aware that it was part of a series, The Laws Of The Blood Novels. Just a short way into Personal Demon, I knew that I would be getting the first 5 books of this series. It was just that good.
I happily give Personal Demon 5 skulls.
