Antti Raanta comes up big with this save against the Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog. The game was out of the Avs reach by the end of the second, but Raanta made sure to not give them any momentum going into the third.
Blackhawks 1-0 - Patrick Sharp (19) Wrist shot – ASST: Duncan Keith (31), Brent Seabrook (24)
Duncan Keith is in the top five for scoring and keeps racking up points. His fabulous pass to Sharp leads to this goal, and the Hawks open up the scoring in a statement game. Sharp makes no mistake as he rips it past Giguere.
Blackhawks 2-0 - Jonathan Toews (14) Wrist shot – ASST: Marian Hossa (19), Niklas Hjalmarsson (13)
Hossa goes hard to the net with the puck, but Giguere poke checks it away. Unfortunately for Giggy, the puck goes right to the stick of Jonathan Toews who blows it by the glove of the Avs goaltender.
Blackhawks 3-0 - PPG – Patrick Sharp (20) Slapshot – ASST: Duncan Keith (32), Jonathan Toews (22)
Keith with another phenomenal pass to Sharpy leads to another goal! This time it came on the power play and that would put the Blackhawks up by 3, and give Sharp his second of the night.

Detox is the latest buzzword in the health and wellness industry. But is it really necessary to "detox" our bodies using commercially available potions and supplements? Are we really walking around with heavy metals, chemicals, pesticide residues and other toxins in our blood and body organs?
My take on this is that you do not need to worry about detoxifying your body IF you have healthy kidneys, a healthy liver AND you eat a whole foods diet.
Your kidneys purify your blood, and your liver is a major detoxification organ in your body (as well as your colon). If you are healthy and have a clean diet, your body probably doesn't need the extra help.
However, your body's ability to cleans, purify and purge toxins is hindered by a poor diet.
By introducing smoothies, especially green smoothies, into your daily routine, you will give your body a nutritional boost that will aid in detoxing. By making green smoothies and exercise a daily habit, supported by a whole foods, plant-heavy diet rich in leafy greens such as spinach, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and healthy fats, your body will have everything it needs to cleanse itself naturally.
Tips For a Natural, Healthy Detox
Consume only organic foods. Conventionally-grown fruit and vegetables have pesticide residues as well as residues from waxes, preservatives and anti-fungal chemicals used to keep them "fresh" in the store. Eating organic produce ensures that your exposure to synthetic chemicals is greatly reduced.
Eat a Whole Foods Diet. Eat foods in their natural state such as organic fruits and vegetables, organic spinach or other leafy greens, nuts, seeds and grains and eliminate or greatly reduce consumption of processed foods, dairy and meat from large, commercial farms that use hormones, antibiotics, and meat additives. Make smoothies, eat salads and make lots of tasty recipes that call for raw, unprocessed ingredients as much as possible.
Drink plenty of water. Water is the best beverage you can drink (besides a green smoothie!), especially if it is purified or spring water from a safe source. Tap water contains chlorine and other contaminants that your body has to process and eliminate. Also, reduce your consumption of commercial sports drinks, sodas and alcohol with added sugars, chemical sweeteners and artificial flavors and colors.
Get plenty of sleep. Getting enough sleep (7-8 hours each night) is essential for maintaining good health and rejuvenating your body.
Switch to natural cleaning and hygiene products. They might be slightly more expensive, but they are better for the environment and better for your health.
Exercise. It doesn't take a lot to loose weight and maintain a strong, lean body if you eat the right foods and work out. One of my favorite exercise programs is Turbulence Training, but any sort of consistent, daily physical activity like playing sports, running, walking or working out will help your body "flush out toxins" better than any cleansing regimen.
As you take steps to reduce and eliminate toxins from your diet and environment, you may notice a dramatic increase in energy and positive emotions. You will start to crave healthy foods instead of processed junk food. Your mind may become clearer. You will feel better and healthier because you are healthier!
Detox Smoothie Recipes
Every green smoothie recipe on my website IS a detox smoothie recipe. There's also quite a few smoothie recipes specifically geared for cleansing.
I have also created a program to help you lose weight and cleanse naturally without feeling deprived or starving yourself (while rendering extended fasting/cleansing obsolete!). My Green Smoothie Weight Loss Program includes hundreds of smoothie recipes that use different fruits and greens to target specific health needs, including detoxification. Included are green smoothie recipes for protecting against cancer, bone-health, muscle-building, cold and flu, digestion relief, weight loss and much more!

On the sampling distribution of an $\ell^2$ distance between Empirical Distribution Functions with applications to nonparametric testing
Abstract: We consider a situation where two sample sets of independent real valued observations are obtained from unknown distributions. Under a null hypothesis that the distributions are equal, it is well known that the sample variation of the infinity norm, maximum, distance between the two empirical distribution functions has as asymptotic density of standard form independent of the unknown distribution. This result underpins the popular two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. In this article we show that other distance metrics exist for which the asymptotic sampling distribution is also available in standard form. In particular we describe a weighted squared-distance metric derived from a binary recursion of the real line which is shown to follow a sum of chi-squared random variables. This motivates a nonparametric test based on the average divergence rather than the maximum, which we demonstrate exhibits greater sensitivity to changes in scale and tail characteristics when the distributions are unequal, while maintaining power for changes in central location.

Seizing on the public's demand for a louder voice in public affairs, former presidential candidate Ron Paul is expanding his media footprint with a call for an "epidemic of truth-telling" by whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and Vietnam War-era tipster Daniel Ellsberg.
Already the face of the web-based Ron Paul Channel, the libertarian Republican has just added an interactive online site called "Voices of Liberty" that will provide more news, blogs and a chance for supporters to start petitions to push policy in Washington.
"He's so excited about it. He's jazzed," said Voices of Liberty managing editor Tiffany Rider. "I don't think 'retirement' is in his vocabulary," she told Secrets.
In a video explaining his project, Paul said that the new "Voices" site is "one step forward where we are going to reach a lot more people."
Part of his goal, he added, is to encourage more insiders like former national security official Snowden or Ellsberg, who made public the infamous Vietnam War Pentagon Papers, to come forward and reveal the government's secrets that clash with liberty.
"I'll tell you what has helped us a whole lot, and that is something that we can encourage, and that is to get more more whistleblowers," he said in the video. "Think of Edward Snowden, what he has done for revealing the truth. Think of what Daniel Ellsberg did in a much more difficult time, and he narrowly escaped going to prison for this, and of course Edward Snowden might not ever even be able to come back to this country," said Paul.
"He did tell us the truth," Paul added of Snowden. "He is a wonderful voice, and maybe we can cause an epidemic of truth-telling, because the crisis that we have now, whether it's the economic crisis, the foreign policy crisis, there is such a need to hear the truth."
Rider said the site will expand on Paul's effort to make "rights and liberty" a key topic of public discussion. "It's about making noise for liberty," she said.
The site is also aimed at expanding Paul's audience, especially by drawing in younger Americans.
"We want to crowdsource the next generation," she added.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at email@example.com.

11/16/2010 -
Valley Stream, NY - Franklin Hospital is ranked the best on Long Island for joint replacement outcomes and also is tops in Nassau County for its overall success in orthopedics and joint replacement, according to the latest national study by HealthGrades.
HealthGrades, the nation's leading independent ratings organization, which evaluated patient outcomes at 5,000 hospitals nationwide, ranked Franklin among the top 10 hospitals in New York State for joint replacement and among the top 10 percent in the United States. As a result, Franklin was the recipient of HealthGrades' Joint Replacement Excellence Award for 2011. The hospital earned HealthGrades' five-star rating (for joint replacement, total knee replacement and total hip replacement). Franklin is the only hospital on Long Island to receive five-star ratings for both total knee and total hip replacement procedures.
"These rankings are an independent affirmation of the high quality of Franklin's exceptional joint replacement and orthopedic surgery programs," said Joseph Manopella, executive director of Franklin Hospital. "We continue to improve the patient experience, and are proud and thankful for the extraordinary work of our surgeons and staff, as well as the support of our community."
Franklin's Center for Surgical Specialties includes 22 surgeons on staff, 12 of whom are currently performing joint replacements. Giles R. Scuderi, MD, vice president of orthopedic surgery at the North Shore-LIJ Health System who joined Franklin in 2006, noted that the hospital's volume of orthopedic surgeries has increased 43 percent from 2007 to this year – and the number of joint replacements performed at Franklin has more than doubled during that span. "The dramatic jump in orthopedic surgical volume can be attributed to Franklin's growing reputation for excellence among both physicians and the community," said Dr. Scuderi. "We're attracting such a large number of patients because we have the skill and technology to treat very complex conditions of the joints. We're able to restore motion, with minimal pain and minimal length of stay."
Franklin's expertise in joint replacement and orthopedic surgeries is also enabling the hospital to attract top talent. "We're obviously pleased by the HealthGrades' ranking and excited about what the future holds for our Center for Surgical Specialties, but we're especially proud of helping hundreds of patients every year regain mobility and return to active, independent lifestyles," said Gus Katsigiorgis, DO, Franklin's co-chief of orthopedic surgery and a specialist in sports medicine, orthopedic surgery and joint replacement.
The public is demanding increased public reporting of quality measures, and recent government reform efforts support this call to action. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than 40 percent of adults report that they believe there are major differences in hospital quality in their immediate geography. Additionally, since 1996, the number of consumers that indicated they would choose a hospital based on a high quality rating over familiarity has increased to 72 percent from 59 percent.
The HealthGrades study, the largest annual report of its kind, analyzed patient outcomes in nearly 40 million Medicare hospitalization records from the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. Among the findings related to in-hospital complications in this year's study are:
The new 2011 HealthGrades hospital ratings were posted today and are free to the public at www.healthgrades.com.
HealthGrades Hospital Quality Ratings
HealthGrades' hospital ratings and awards reflect the track record of patient outcomes at hospitals in the form of mortality and complication rates. HealthGrades rates hospitals independently based on data that hospitals submit to the federal government. No hospital can opt in or out of being rated, and no hospital pays to be rated.
For 26 procedures and treatments, HealthGrades issues star ratings that reflect the mortality and complication rates for each category of care. Hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have mortality or complication rates that are below the national average, to a statistically significant degree. A 3-star rating means the hospital performs as expected. One-star ratings indicate the hospital's mortality or complication rates in that procedure or treatment are statistically higher than average. Because the risk profiles of patient populations at hospitals are not alike, HealthGrades risk-adjusts the data to allow for equal comparisons.
More information on the Thirteenth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America study, including the complete methodology, can be found at www.healthgrades.com.

"When it comes to trout fishing you'll find me stalking spring creeks hunting for risers. This means small dry flies on a long leader with light tippet. The Winston 4-weight Boron III LS is my fly rod of choice. This rod has perfect feel and provides me incredible accuracy - the exact precision needed to place a fly to a trout that won't budge from his lie. My fly line lands on the water ever so gently and when the trout sips my fly the finesse rod absorbs the shock of my hook set and protects my light tippet. There's no better fly rod for fooling large stubborn trout on challenging spring creeks than Winston's 4-weight Boron III LS."
Jeff Currier: Winston Pro Advisor
"When you think about fishing a seven foot, two weight you think of tiny brook trout streams choked with mountain laurel and brightly colored four inch fish. I love those fish and that kind of fishing, and the B3-LS is perfect for it. The truth is, I only get to do that a couple of days a year and I'll use the 2 weight, but that's not why I wanted it. I wanted a super delicate dry fly rod that would give me the ultimate in feel.
I wanted to feel the line in the air, and on the water. I wanted to feel the fish like never before. I wanted presentations that fell as soft as shadows. I got all of that. But I got some things I didn't expect as well. To be honest, I expected the tiny rod to make me work. I expected it to be willowy, soft and slow. I expected distance to be limited, mending to be a challenge, and wind to be completely out of the equation. Boy was I wrong.
The 2 weight B3-LS is a precision casting tool. Astounding in its accuracy, surprising in its distance. Thrilling in its ability to make tight, energetic loops. Magical in its mending ability. The action is crisp and lively. Matched with a Scientific Anglers Mastery, Trout Dry Tip DT line it's a joy to cast. Any rise ring within fifty feet is yours.
Once I cast this rod, it quickly found its way off those tiny mountain streams. I simply wasn't willing to put it back in the rod rack. It started going on the drift boat for sipping pods of selective fish. It started showing up on heavily pressured, catch and release streams with educated fish. It eventually showed up on notorious big fish streams, punching well above its weight. Scandalous, but so much fun!
Louis Cahill: GinkandGasoline.com
"For a long time Winston has produced trout rods that have a full flexing profile, catering to the angler who revels in the cast, the presentation and the simplicity of a single dry fly. As our sport has grown, fly-fishing with a single dry fly has slowly been pushed aside in response to the various creative ways anglers have engineered to catch fish with a fly rod. It's not that the single dry fly doesn't catch fish anymore, but precise overhead casts, well timed mends and delicate presentations are not the name of the game for many modern fly fishers. Finding a fly rod that loads in close with a dry fly, can turn over a light nymph rig and that can efficiently present a dry-dropper or small bugger is not an easy task, and I believe that the BIII LS fly rod is the first trout rod in the Winston line up that fits into this diverse category.
The Winston BIII LS fly rod has backbone. The BIII LS features Boron III technology which reduces weight throughout the length of the rod while still providing sensitivity, quick response and power throughout the cast. The LS tracks well with little recoil, even when making longer casts. I love this Winston rod for places like Silver Creek and the Henry's Fork where mornings are calm and the afternoons are blustery. The fish don't care that the wind came up, but they do care when your fly is dragging from a badly executed cast or drift. Being able to battle through the breeze and be confident that your equipment can handle what nature throws at you during your day on the water lets you focus on finding that next fish and making an edible presentation. Big fish, small flies and light tippet. Need I say more? For me, it's about the process. The Winston LS excels in precise casting situations long or short with fish of all sizes, but its ability to protect tippet and put the wood to fish during big runs, fierce head shakes and tough landings is unlike any other rod in the Winston line up."
Asher Koles: Bloodknots Fly Fishing, Winston Pro Staff
"I have fished almost all my life. From the time I could pick up a tackle box and fish in the local city park until now at the age of 72. Still fly fishing almost once a week or more year round, I'm always looking for that perfect rod for each piece of water. I live in an area of the country where we have many spring creeks and smaller rivers. That's where my Winston LS's rods really shine. They are very fishable rods that you can feel load and unload. The thing that surprised me was how versatile these rods are at casting larger flies, playing larger fish (without running out of rod) and lifting more line off the water than I thought possible with a light line rod. All while providing great feel playing small fish and large fish alike. They are also very good at protecting light tippets which sometimes become necessary to attract large, spooky fish.
So if you are looking for a rod that's fun to cast and fun to fish, I would ask you to check out the Winston LS series of rods."
Jack Birkner: Winston Sales Rep
"The Boron III LS is Winston's new high-end, light line 5-weight, which means that if you're a fan of the good folks from Twin Bridges, Montana, this may well be the rod you've been waiting for. As you've probably guessed, this particular Winston is smooth, accurate and a true pleasure to cast. But it goes beyond that. If I had to pick one word to describe the BIII LS, it would be "sublime." This beauty offers a rare combination of delicacy, precision and finesse, yet with enough power to push a cast into a steady breeze or sling a hopper right up against the bank. If you have a passion for throwing handsome loops to rising trout, and if you want a rod that offers the ultimate in both pleasure and performance, I'd suggest you take a look at this particular Winston 5-weight. In my admittedly subjective opinion, it's as good as it gets."

- Optimised match processing speed for network clients

January 7, 2013
Hi, Johnny, I've been having some problems with FM.
I recently started a save as Liverpool and went about the usual buying and selling of players/staff. I downloaded Darren's tactic as well.
However the game hasn't seemed right. After losing my first four games in charge it seemed something was up so I played around a little bit and gave my Liverpool team some extra money. With this money I signed players like Edison Cavani, Stevan Jovetic, Neven Subotic, Marc-Andre ter-Stegen, Daniel Alaba and Isco. These players made Liverpool a strong side so I figured I'd give them all chance to mesh and also give the tactics time to sink in.
In my latest match against Stoke the tactics were all on fluid or accomplished level and I fielded my strongest XI against their weakened side. I lost 2-1, making it seven straight defeats in which my team have scored just four goals and conceded fifteen. I like to play short passing football but in both the Stoke game and others I have noticed that balls are knocked long very often and that despite having a pressing mentality, my players never go in for a tackle instead either standing back or running just behind the player they are meant to be tackling. Finally, to make the game even worse, Stoke's first goal saw both Peter Crouch and Michael Owen stood inside the six yard box when Jermaine Pennant crossed the ball. This would have been fine if my defenders were nearby, but these defenders were all outside the six yard box and not one player was playing either man onside.
The list of teams my Liverpool team have lost against in order is: AGF (Europa League Minnows from Denmark) x2, Southampton, Stoke, Swansea, Fulham, Stoke. The stats after all these games all seemingly check out and were one reason why I was confused, but when it comes to the match engine, things just don't seem right.
Was wondering if you could offer any thoughts?

hi there
had a decent amount of succes with "Darrens Fluid…" tactic before the patch. But that changed abruptly.
After reading a lot (!) about tactics and tinkering with the tactics myself my experience is this:
The "new" ME apparantly favours 442-styled tactics with two physical strikers. Settings on attacking and very fluid, press more, hard tackling + man marking (even wingers and strikers), short passing…have a go yourself – it's actually pretty easy to set something decent up with the tactics creator and tweak it.
Oh, and avoid the default settings unless you want to use long combinations of shouts.
As I said this is my experience and several others across the forums.
Sorry Darren…the patch 13.2.1 more or less killed your tactic ;-)
January 10, 2013
Does anyone know, when the january transfers 2013 will be introduced in the game? When will the update with the january transfers come out? Also, once it does and if I have started a game already, will those new transfers show in my save or do I need to start a new save, so I can use the new players?
January 10, 2013
Usually the changes in the game will also work in the saves. This does not apply to the new transfers. If you think about it this would mean that if you had bought Demba Ba in your save, the patch would snatch (sorry) him away and he would suddenly be a Chelsea player.
As always I expect SI to recommend that you start all over again when the february(!)patch is out.

Thank you!

It was third time in three meetings this season between the Jets and Blues that the game has been decided by one goal. The Jets won the first meeting 4-3 in a shootout with the Blues winning 3-2 in the game played in St. Louis. With the loss the Jets record drops back to an even .500 at 14-14-4. It's now four straight games at the MTS Centre without a win.
The teams played through a scoreless first period with the Jets outshooting the Blues 8-2 with another 10 shots by the Jets blocked, and four missing the net. So in total the Jets directed 22 shots at Blues goaltender Brian Elliott.
The first goal of the game at 4:44 of the second period and again it was Alexander Steen doing the damage. It was his 21st of the year. It was a shot from the corner that Ondrej Pavelec would say was a mistake post-game.
"When you don't get a lot of shots, it's hard to keep your focus," he said. "And that's what happened, I lost my focus." The shots in the second were 8-5 Blues.
The Jets tied the game in the third on a power play goal by Brian Little. It was the first power play goal by a Jets forward since Blake Wheeler scored in St. Louis Oct. 29. All the Jets power play goals in between came from Dustin Byfuglin (four) and Keaton Ellerby (one). It was Little's 13th goal of the season and snapped an eight game goalless stretch.
In the game in St. Louis the Jets killed off the first five Blues power plays with Steen scoring on the sixth for the Blues win. Jets were two-for-two on the penalty kill when Byfuglien was called for hooking, giving the Blues another chance to put the NHL's No. 2 power play to work.
A shot by Kevin Shattenkirk went off Little, fluttered towards the net looking like it would go over the goal. But it ran out of steam, dropping and catching the top corner. That would be the winner with 3:02 left in the third. The final shots were 21-20 in a close-checking game that at times lacked emotion.
"It was a chess match played game," offered Coach Claude Noel. "We played a pretty good game, just didn't finish it. They ended up scoring the seeing-eye power play goal – what can you do? Our neutral zone forecheck was good, we did the things we had to do to win the game 2-1. It's disappointing. We were good enough to win. Our power play was good, really moved the puck around."
Byfuglien led the way in ice time at 28:49, Jacob Trouba led the way in hits with five. The Jets are now 3-10-2 within the Central Division, while being above .500 against every other division.
The Jets were again minus Evander Kane, who is out with a lower body injury. Also out with injury were Paul Postma, Jim Slater and Zach Bogosian. There are two more home games this week for the Jets, against Colorado on Thursday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290) and Dallas Saturday afternoon (TSN 1290).

It started out as friends. Never planned to do much of anything. I'd scribble my thoughts down and my friend sam would put them to music. In the studio next door to sams, we heard bebe and grant working on songs and the black cards collective was born. I got my friends spencer and nate involved so we could play live. We played a few shows and people started to take notice. Bebe started getting calls to write with all the producers in ny and la. Spencer and I started fucking around with people's accapellas for fun. We remixed our friends records, cobra, anjulie and gym class. Then we remixed rihanna and major lazer, then we went to #1 on hype machine. Life felt fun again. Having to get myself through a toxic cloud that was the past year of my life was important. The homies that have been a part of black cards will still be homies. I needed to feel like myself again. Good news is that I do. I appreciate everyone who has been a part of this journey and there are songs that you still will get a chance to hear and we will be coming through your city to steal your puppies and turn your brains to mush.
So bebe was writing with producers and we were hijacking other producers.
New year, new beginnings. Bebe is now a solo artist. Follow her @beberexha and we have a mixtape coming out.
The black cards are dead. Long live the black cards.

Hi! I'm a 19 year old girl who is petite build, short about 150cm (4'9"), breast size about an A cup and is going to get Breast implants but I'm not sure which style to go for. I was told the tear drop as it is more natural and due to my petite built. I just wanted to know if I were to get round implants would it look that bad?
Tear Drop Vs Round Breast Implants for Petite Build?
Doctor Answers (38)
Promoted Local Answer Promoted local answers are based on Featured Doctor activity within your current location.
The best implant for you?
Without photos or a physical examination Its difficult to guide you. Each style of implant has pros and cons. Round implants are the mainstay of most cosmetic breast augmentation. Choosing the correct proportion and size is necessary to give a good result. Teardrops can sometimes rotate and be more feelable because they are textured. The new 410 gummy bear that was approved this week by the FDA is firmer and heavily textured. It can require a larger incision.
In my own practice I favor the smooth round cohesive implants, But I always go over the options with my patients. In your meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon her or she can evaluate you and help to select your best option.
Best wishes.

Breast Implants for a petite build
For a natural looking result, the size, style, and shape of the breast implant are very important. Also, appropriate placement and position of the breast implant are necessary for an ideal result.
Web reference: http://www.michaellawmd.com/breast-augmentation_breast_implants.html
Usually round implants are best fro breast augmentation
For most patients, a round breast implant of proper dimension and profile to fit their chest and desires works better than a teardrop shaped implant. The problem with the shaped implants is that they all have to be textured to prevent rotation in the pocket and this makes them wrinkle more because the skin is stuck to them. Also, if they don't adhere in the pocket, they can move around, turn upside down etc and look very asymmetric to the other side.

Round implants preferable for breast augmentation
I only use round implants for breast augmentation. By selecting the correct volume and profile, they can give a very natural look. I always like to hold a round implant at the top to demonstrate that the saline or silicone inside sinks to the bottom with gravity. This helps create more fullness at the bottom - like a natural breast. Unlike your natural breast tissue, breast implants move around in the pocket we create. Tear drop breast implant manufacturers try to reduce this by "roughing up" or contouring the outside of the implant. This texture encourages your skin and muscles to adhere to the implant and help hold it in place. Either way, it creates problems. If you skin doesn't adhere to a tear drop shaped implant, the implant can rotate giving you an oddly shaped and asymmetric breast. This can be visible even through clothing. If your tissue does stick to the implant, this can lead to rippling and make the implant very visible under your skin. In my opinion, tear drop shaped implants are best reserved for breast reconstruction.
Web reference: http://www.buttandbreastaugmentation.com/
Tear drop or anatomic implants are used most often in patients with A-cup breast size.
The reason for recommending this type is get the most natural result. The upper slope of the breast will take be more natural. However not patient wants a natural look. Some patients prefer the fuller look in the upper part of the breast. The disadvantage of the tear drop implant is that is has a small chance of rotation and therefore asymmetery.
Web reference: http://www.myplasticsurgeon.ca/breast_augmentation.asp
Teardrop Implants Are Rarely Used
I agree with all the other doctors 100%.
Teardrop shaped implants were touted to offer a more natural shape, and that claim was quickly proven wrong once the operation was used in large numbers of patients.
Problems with rotation of the implant and rippling or wrinkling make these implants unsuitable for most individuals.
Tear Drop vs. Round Breast Implants
You do not need tear drop implants. These are only really necessary in breast reconstruction. With any amount of breast tissue a round implant will do just fine. Besides if the contoured implant rotates it's a disaster. These implants are way over used in augmentation, especially over seas.
For as small as you are I would think about a high profile implant. These tend to work well for smaller women.
Shaped breast implants
I only use smooth, round, silicone or saline implants and the results that I get are very natural looking. My only concern with tear-drop shaped implants is that they might turn and distort the shape of your breast. Look at some before and after photos of the different implants, and see which ones you like the most. Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.DrSchreiberPlasticSurgery.com
Round vs. teardrop/shaped
Implant shape requirements are dependent on what you have to start with and what you are goingto be happy with in the end. Most augmentations can be satisfied with round implants since they appear tear-dropped up to a certain size. If you have a fair amount of natural breast tissue covering the implant, then the round implant will be hidden by the natural shape of the breast. At some point, the round implants will start to look round. The less the tissue coverage the sooner that will occur.If you are not looking for a rounded look, thenyou should consider shaped implants. The advantage with round is that they are not directional: they look the same no matter if they rotate. The shaped implants are directionaland need to be placed and maintained in a specific place. If they rotate, then the shape of the breast will be affected.
Breast implant shape
Round breast implants, when placed under the pectoral muscle, can look quite natural regardless of your body type. Anatomic, or teardrop shaped implants, can look quite natural also. However, these implants are typically placed in front of the pectoral muscle (subglandular). These are appropriate in certain patients who need slightly more projection in the lower aspect of the breast, or who have a thinner body.
The one concern with the anatomic implants is they have a tendency to rotate, where the heavier "bottom" portion of the implant could move and end up on "top" where it doesn't belong. Often times the patient can shift it back into place, however this may be a problem which needs surgical correction in the future.
Discuss this further with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to your surgery.

Chapter Three - Jamie0 Reviews
Jamie Park was normal........once. Now shes not
Well, my last bell rang about five years ago when I died in the bathroom. When I'd been alive, I'd had a heart murmur that would act up whenever I got mad. Some girls started talking about me and I was in the stall.
And that was the fabulous way I died; my fly down and standing in the stall. Whatever. I was a ghost and stuck in high school. That's not depressing at all, now is it?
I passed my old locker. The little name plate flashed in the coming in the window from the fading moon. Written in gold paint was two-seventeen. I poked my head through the door and climbed in. everything was the same. All the dents my backpack had caused by swinging to far in the mornings, denting the thin metal.
The gum I'd chewed and stuck in the bottom of the built-in book shelf. My jaws clenched. I wish I could chew gum again. And eat and sleep and go home.
I haven't seen my mom since they rushed my body out of the school. Did my mom and dad even still live here? Huh.
I put my head on my knees and started crying dry tears. The door of my locker opened and a pale boy threw his bag in, hooking it under the shelf.
It went straight through my head. "Hey!" I shouted, knowing it was stupid. Nobody had heard me whenever I tried to talk.
Shockingly, he jumped and looked down in my locker. I climbed out and stood next to him. His eyes followed me as I moved.
"Who the hell do you think you are, throwin your shit around my locker?!" I yelled at him. He opened his mouth to answer but shut it, looking around quickly. "Not now," he hissed under his breath.
"Answer me!" He ignored me completely. "Ahhh!!!!!" I screamed in frustration and ran through the walls to the girls' room in which I'd died.
HOW DARE HE!?! HOW DARE HE IGNORE ME?!?! A toilet exploded next to me, shooting water into the air.
The water fell through me and onto the floor. I sighed when a teacher ran in and screamed. Trying to calm down enough for the toilet to stop erupting, I thought about my old boyfriend.
He'd graduated three years ago as valedictorian. The ceremony had been held here at the school do to over booking of the fancy hotel it was supposed to be at. I'd listened in and he talked about me. And he'd cried.
I looked at the toilet. It had stopped spouting water into the air. You know what? I'm gonna follow that guy.
When I found him, he was in choir. I saw the back of his head and reached out, grabbing a few strands of hair. Focusing, I pulled slightly.
He gasped and his hand flew to the back of his head. The teacher glared at him and he blushed. "Sorry. Arm cramp. " he lied and moved his arm around.
I laughed and his back stiffened. Smiling, I went to stand in front of him. "I want to talk to you." I crossed my arms over my chest. He looked past me at the teacher and nodded. I sighed and smiled a little wider.
I hung around and listened to the kids harmonize and before I left, I told the guy that I'd be at our locker after school. He'd nodded and I went to do something I hadn't for a long time. Wait for the end of the day.

Anyone who has young children around the Cheadle area who are at a loose end, or who have plenty of energy which needs burning up, should have a look at what toddler football can provide. There are regular sessions organised by Little Sports Coaching perfect for small children of between three and five years old and take place at Cheadle Hulme High School.
Little Sports Coaching run kids football sessions that can be of benefit to small children in a number of different ways. Fun is, of course, the primary reason for any child taking part, but they are also looked after when it comes to developing their football skills. Being able to play football in a supervised and safe environment minimises the kind of social conflicts which can occur when kids are left to their own devices.
Through our training the children also learn what it feels like to be part of a team and just what being a team player really means. The structure of the sessions also means that everyone is involved at all times so no one is left out. The sense of belonging and enjoyment that the sessions evoke helps to raise a child's self-esteem massively.
So if you are wondering just how to stop that ever-growing toddler from smashing the house up and destroying the garden, then Little Sports Coaching's junior football training in Stockport might well be the answer.

IBM Hosting Strategy is SmartCoud Enterprise+
IBM is expanding its infrastructure-as-a-service efforts with a new investment in the hosting space: IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+ (SCE+). This new service is set to be a one-stop-shop for enterprise customers looking to obtain high-level SLAs on hosted enterprise enterprise apps, like ERP, CRM and other major big data and analytical tools. What makes IBM different? IBM promises SCE+ will come complete with a very high level security and user management features to ensure a safe and secure usage of public cloud — something major corporations are demanding when making cloud migration moves.
IBM attests this goes "beyond the infrastructure offered as a service with typical public clouds," and will include updates and identity management solutions to mitigate the most pressing and evolving concerns about leveraging public cloud resources. Jim Comfort, general manager of IBM's SmartCloud services said IBM wants to offer more than technology, they want to offer "assurance," as a way to make businesses comfortable with the latest technologies and help them drive business without worry.
This update is complemented by the introduction of the IBM SmartCloud for SAP Applications, a specialized IBM service that streamlines the process of building out SAP AG solutions which typically require more advanced "operational skills." IBM SmartCloud for SAP apps also automates the provisioning of hosted environments and can accommodate SAP Business Suite and SAP BusinessObjects. IBM promises "99.7 percent availability" with their solution, alongside a fully managed platform-as-a-service.
To sweeten the deal, IBM will also "marry" its Global Business Services tools and processes with the SmartCloud SAP offering, providing application lifecycle as-a-service capabilities. Existing SAP interesting in making the move can test their operations on IBM's cloud, after which they can be can easily "transitioned to the SCE+ platform" for production-ready usage.
An IBM spokesperson was not immediately available for comment on whether these latest services would be deliverable by IBM's service partner community, however, IBM's latest efforts with SmartCloud Docs were channel-friendly. If IBM wants to ensure "assurance" in the enterprise public cloud space, it's best to do so with the help of the trusted advisors and providers that often have an ear to the ground for the needs of the enterprise community.
Worth noting: SAP's efforts to dig deep into the cloud space continue to be enhanced by IBM. Additionally, recent advancements in both cloud computing and in-memory computing make this alliance powerful amid rising demands on big data technology and increasing attractiveness of gaining real-time business intelligence.

Can anyone reccomend a graphic display that is readable in bright light conditions - preferably full sun. I am currently using Displaytech 128x64 pixel monochrome display and the GLCD library. Everything is really good except I cant read it outdoors. I have destroyed one display already by increasing current in backlight to the point where the LEDS failed.
I have heard OLED displays are better, but because they are usually colour they are very slow, I need to refresh parts of the display 3 or 4 times per second.
Grateful for any help

Williamsburg stays sweet. Domino Sugar Factory Gets Landmark Status
Domino Sugar Factory image from Curbed
The Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is protected against developers and wrecking balls.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to give landmark status to the Domino Sugar Factory along the Brooklyn waterfront. The cluster of three brick buildings was completed in 1884 and at the time stood as the largest sugar refinery in the world. The refinery closed in 2004 and was acquired by CPC Resources, the development arm of the Community Preservation Corporation, which plans to convert the building and surrounding property into residences.[from AM New York]
However, it seems that there wasn't enough sugar to sweeten the deal and keep the beautiful, yet creepy Adant House around. According to Curbed,
The landmarking left out some historic structures including the Adant House next to the Williamsburg Bridge, which has its own fan club. If the New Domino plan is approved, meanwhile, the Old Domino would be surrounded by buildings up to 30-40 stories tall.

I May Be Childless, But I'm Not a Disease
Childless Bitch: Mommies, you've gone too far. I am utterly offended. This proves once and for all that you think human beings are uncivilized predators out to get you and your precious spawn.
We're living in the age of paranoia. Not since the McCarthy era have we been so suspicious of our fellow man. We're convinced that every stranger's sneeze is a receptacle for H1N1, that the guy in line in front of you with the uncovered cough deserves corporal punishment. We've practically replaced our vanilla citrus shower gel with Costco-sized bottles of Purell. All for the fear of catching a little cold or flu that might ground us in bed eating soup and watching daytime TV while we moan to our significant others for a few days.
But this, this is f*@&ing ridiculous! How dare you assume that I am not clean enough to handle your child? That sign is so condescending and offensive that it actually makes me want to grab your baby, open its mouth, and sneeze into it. That's not right, I know. The baby is an innocent victim. I should really be sneezing into your mouth. Have we really reached the point where, because you have a child, you get to treat the rest of your peers like children? This sign says to me that you think I don't have enough common sense to realize that babies and children have weaker immune systems and are more prone to illness than we adults are. Basically, the sign says that you think I'm a dirty idiot.
What if I posted a sign on myself when I came into contact with your babies? "If your baby drools, poos itself, or is incapable of keeping its snot in its nose -- kindly back the hell up." After all, your baby is much more likely to be crawling with microscopic domestic terrorists than me.
I think it's pretty safe to say that unless you saw someone crawl out of a Jersey Shore hot tub, you can assume they're not going to spread disease onto your kid. And if you still think they (perhaps another child) are, then a simple verbal reminder -- "Hey, would you mind washing your hands, Carson's been sick lately?" -- is more than okay.
Although this sign may be a little out there, some people forget to wash their hands after going to the bathroom, pluck in their nose, teeth, etc etc. then want to touch. We don't know what you do in your spare time. When my baby get sick because of the cold germs that you got off of a door knob at starbucks, I'm going to be the person staying up all times of night with a sick crying baby. It's not a walk in the park. So to make our jobs a little less hectic we try our best at all costs to limit germs. My baby is a little less fortunate than some, a cold caused her to have a seizure and she ended up in the hospital for 3 days and have a spinal tap. Please try to be more considerate.
I am not a germophobe by any means and know from experience with my own 2 kids that 'sick' happens (pun intended). I have a weak immune system myself and even if they didn't get sick from the crud going around constantly at school, they would bring it home to me. I stayed sick 3 times more often than they did and somehow, am grateful that they have been exposed so they were able to build up a better immunity. I am often an over-protective mother but never felt the need to post a sign such as this. HOWEVER, I do not condemn another mother for trying to look out for her child! ESPECIALLY when there is so much news of late about parents neglecting and worse yet abusing their children. This is probably 1 little one we thankfully won't have to hear about on the news being found in the trunk of Mommy's car, etc. **shudder**
And did any one stop to think maybe the Sign Mom is a hearing impaired individual? That maybe she is fully deaf and incapable of speaking and therefore relies on sign language which most of us do not know? So maybe she had to post it in plain English for everyone to understand? Just a thought.
I'll fart on your kid if I want to
I feel I should also add that my first daughter was born in the middle of January, the day of the worst ice storm in a decade. It was also COLD, darn cold for this far south so I didnt take that kid out of the house until her 6 week check up. No one had the opportunity to germinate her.
Well… I have a couple of these signs and i did not pay a dime for them. The hospital where my baby was in the NICU for four months (he was born at 24 weeks) had a basket of them for people to take. I don't think if my baby had been born full term without BPD though that I would care as much. He is not allowed out in public until RSV season is over except to go to doctors appointments so I don't have to worry about grubby hands trying to touch him at Wal-Mart or whatever, and I could never forget to tell visitors to wash up before contact with my son, so they are probably a bit unnecessary.
My curiosity was peaked by your post, so I must reply. Your dolt posting proves your loss for the current position of real Parents and the world. In fact, the climate in which we live urges us, not only to be aware of our surroundings, but also to be ever aware of the Pandemic that is upon us. Your disdain for signs is apparent, so I ask you this, do you disagree with the sign that reads "YOU BREAK IT, YOU BUY IT"? Well, in this so delicate case, if you "break" (or destroy) the most precious of things to me, how can you "buy" (restore) it? You can not! I say to you, that in this time, I as a parent can take no chances in the health of MY child. In closing, I will say this, the next time you visit your local supermarket, see the facilities in said store, and tell me then if you, yourself would place the care of anyone in that store, your most personal possession.
My son had one of these signs and it wasn't because of paranoia it was because of need. He was 7 weeks premature and even when he came home after a 46 day period in the NICU he was still fragile. A simple cold could have led to RSV, pneumonia or worse. He was not yet healthy enough to deal with what might not even register as a cold with a normal healthy adult.
So yeah I had a sign. My son's protection is my responsibility, not yours, and the sign gave people a little extra pause to be vigilant.
I am sorry, but generalization is total ignorance. I automatically rule out all of what you have to say from the beginning because of this. The thing I do understand is that some people can be crazy of extreme, but I have to say you are definitely one of those people. (:
I'd just like to point out that you should always attempt at washing or sanitizing your hands before touching a baby you don't know.
You don't know the child's medical history—he/she could be a sickly baby or have a weakened immune system. It's just plain respectful not to bring all your nasty germs from touching money and door handles to another woman's baby.
It's a very scary idea for new parents that their baby could get sick and die from other people's germs. Just respect the parents' wishes and wash your hands.
My child was premature. The doctors told us that if our baby so much as had a sniffle it was back to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) and quite likely a spinal tap. So yes, we were pretty cautious with our little one. We did not have this type of sign attached to our child, but I was known to slap a few hands away.
Being that you're childless, I'll clue you in on a little known fact. When at a grocery store, shopping or in any other public arena, complete strangers will come up and grab hold of your child. They will grab at their hands and feet, try to kiss their heads, and touch their cheeks.
With so many dirty, germy people in the world who don't wash their hands after handling their genitals or blowing their nose, YES, I DO assume you are not clean enough to handle my child. It would be one thing if my kid was clinging or grabbing onto you - which is then free game on your part (but I am not one that would allow my child to behave that way in the first place).
If you are a complete stranger, keep your hands off my kid! Where do you feel that you have the right to touch her - where do you get that sense of entitlement? Now THAT, oh Childless one, is f*@&ing ridiculous.
Illness, cold, sniffle or perfectly healthy I don't allow anyone to touch my child period. They are my personal property. Breathing the air around us with everything out in the world today is not something we can always stay away from but you can keep your hands off my child, sick or not sick. If someone touches my children while we are out, I do speak up an ask them to please not touch them an it has nothing to do with germs, my way of protecting them simple as that.
These signs exist because there is a need for them. There are many babies - especially preemies, like my son, that are more succeptible to germs than the average adult. He will get sick at some point, but during this first year, a cold to him would most likely develop into pneumonia because his lungs are not as developed. He may even have to be hospitalized. These aren't issues of "paranoia". They are real concerns that any NICU nurse/doctor will warn about. Not everyone has the common sense to wash their hands or stay away if they are sick. Protecting a child from germs really is more important than worrying about offending someone who really has no business touching my baby to begin with. No one else is going to be up with him screaming at 3am if he gets sick. If that makes me an overprotective momma - I really don't care if that's the label I'm given. If you had walked in any preemie mother's shoes you wouldn't have the same opinion.
Sick or not touching my child results in pain (I will cause it). Who in there right mind touches a strangers child to begin with, it ignorant and rude.
This article is DEAD ON!! Seriously (and I say this as a mother) keep your kid home if you are so afraid of germs.
"If your baby drools, poos itself, or is incapable of keeping its snot in its nose — kindly back the hell up." After all, your baby is much more likely to be crawling with microscopic domestic terrorists than me.'
100% accurate
Whew, love to see the parents get all bent out of shape in the comment section of a post about their "clean and germ-free" babies!
Love the post myself! It needs to be said! If people make the choice to have kids, they can make the choice to keep them inside the rest of their lives to make sure they don't get all "germy". lol. Little do they know that those kids will be festering in a germ pile once they hit preschool, kindergarten and on up! These people should actually PROTECT their children instead of sticking a sign on the stroller, etc. If they cared that much they wouldn't need the sign, a verbal warning would suffice. These signs are for the lazy parents who can't make the effort to ensure strangers, etc don't touch the kid.
In all honesty, why would anyone want to touch a baby of someone that you don't know? Gross.
It's ridiculous how many people think that it's ok to just touch or kiss other people's babies! These signs, while a little extreme, aren't created to offend you (talk about egocentric…), they are to remind people who might try and pinch their newborn baby's cheeks to think twice about the cleanliness of their hands. It might even discourage them from touching at all.
And, as a previous person stated, these signs are great for children who are born with immune system deficiencies.
Yeah, I know this has probably already been said, when a baby is first born it has a compromised immune system (IgG levels transferred from the mother are going down while baby's IgG takes a while to be synthesized). This is probably the only point I would consider valid for a sign like this. However, most mothers don't have a basic concept of the immune system, so this point is almost never voiced. I agree with your rant though.
Keeping yourself away from microbes at all costs is actually more detrimental to you. Without contact with microbes, your body cannot build up a better immunological response the next time that the same microbe might invade your extracellular space. For this reason, one might actually become MORE sick or the severity will be greater if they rely on constant sterilization.
If for one minute one of my friends thinks I'm too unclean to touch their little vaginal blossoms they'll never, ever have to worry about it again.
As for strangers? Please…your kids are legends in YOUR minds alone. They are not celebrities-no one wants a lock of hair or an autograph.
I don't understand why complete strangers think they have any right to touch other peoples children to begin with. I don't care if you have children or not, if I don't know you, don't touch my kid. I doubt that mom cares if your hands are washed or not, she's probably just doesn't want people touching her baby and thought that that sign was more polite than a sign that says "don't touch my baby". And if that was her thinking, I have to say, she's probably right.
It's offputting. I agree totally. If you are so worried about your precious bundle of joy, then stay the h3ll home. If you don't want them touched, cuddled, hugged, simpered over or whatever, fine, then don't bring them out in public where people who think your baby is cute, adorable, and snuggly will have to put up with your stupidity. Germs happen. Colds and flus really don't kill all that many people. Doesn't matter if it's garden variety, or H1N1. If they are going to get it, then they are going to get it. doesn't matter if they touch a person or not. these virus' live on all surfaces, so the only way to protect them is to keep them home. trash the dumb sign and get a brain.

People, pull your heads from your asses and learn what parody and satire are.
If you've read WoWinsider, you know that there's a running joke between the Mage and the Warlock columnists. You'd also know that when Arcane Brilliance can't be done by it's usual author, that the Warlock columnist takes over. It's happened in the past, and has always been a way to joke at the mage's expense.
All of you whining and bitching about the article need to relax a bit. "I don't see the comedy" this, and "Worst Arcane Brilliance ever" that, such stupidity.
I for one got a laugh out of it, and thought that it was great that we got SOMETHING to fill the hole left by an author being unable to post.

We know what parody and satire, and this isn't it. This is a ham-fisted trudge on a well warn 'cool kids' trope. I see the attempt at comedy, but it is weak and fails. Back when the real warlock writer took this column you could tell he put some effort into it. This 'lock, like most, just mailed it in; from Hot Topic. But you're right, it wasn't a hole.

Beechcraft has carefully upgraded the King Air C90GTx's
avionics system to place the right technologies in the
right places. Utilizing an intuitive layout that's
user–friendly for pilots of all experience levels,
the roomy flight deck is easily managed by a crew of one or two.
It features a fully integrated Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™
avionics system – the same platform found in larger aircrafts
costing millions more. This advanced system provides breakthrough
situational awareness for enhanced safety. Three 8–inch by
10–inch LCD displays make critical flight data accessible at all times.
Also standard is the Rockwell Collins TWR-850 Weather Radar. This four color, six-range weather radar clearly identifies the intensity and level of targets to help avoid severe weather.
Today's Pilot praised the C90GTx, saying, "Though the overall feel is of a much bigger aircraft," it has come increasingly aware that this has been specifically designed with the owner/pilot in mind. All the controls are easy to both see and reach, while the various systems and sub-systems are logically located."
