Loved you so,
Before you crossed over to the 'dark side'.
While I read and had deep thoughts,
You watched TV, and learned to love 'A NEW CAR!'
I could not feed your vanity,
Love Sam

I know this should probably be on another forum, but I only ever read/post/care about the panthers forum. As an avid Cowgirl-Hater, can anyone make a nice gif-slideshow of pictures of Tony Romo looking completely defeated? After yesterday I was thinking how funny it would be to see a gif or slideshow of Tony after last years muffed snap with him sitting on the ground, and this year holding his head while his face was in the dirt, along with several others I'm sure...
Nice article a while ago about how he is a media-hyped garbage quarterback too.

Sara recently started serving small baked potatoes instead of standard giant russets because they're more flavorful and look nicer on the plate. Try them and they just might become your new favorite side.

Preheat oven to 400°. Pierce potatoes several times with fork, place on baking sheet, and bake 30 to 40 minutes or until tender and crisp. Cut a slit in the top of each potato, and squeeze to push flesh of potato upward. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and add sea salt and pepper. Add toppings, as desired.

In May, the most recent month for which data are available, sales of previously owned homes and condominiums in Salt Lake County rose by 15 percent, to 1,229 units, compared with May 2011, according to the Salt Lake Board of Realtors. In the first five months of 2012, sales jumped 20 percent over last year.
The home-sale increase has paved the way for modest price increases. In May, the median selling price rose 7 percent, to $199,950, compared with $187,000 last year. Although prices are still below the peak median of $242,000 in June 2007, this type of appreciation has been unheard of for five years.
Tips for buyers and sellers
Donna Pozzuoli, president of the Lake Board of Realtors, has some time-tested tips for those buying or selling a home:
For sellers:
Clean it up and de-clutter » A clean and tidy home makes all the difference. "Get rid of the junk — get a storage shed if you need to," she said.
Make small improvements » "Small, inexpensive things can make a big difference," Pozzuoli says. "Things like paint and caulk are fairly inexpensive but can have a big impact."
Be willing to make concessions » The feds have cut down on what sellers can do for buyers in recent years. But sellers still can offer a home warranty or pay some or all of the buyer's closing costs.
For buyers:
Make an offer quickly » "If you find a home at a good price and in good condition, you need to make an offer quickly," she said.
Sell the home you are in » Offers contingent on the sale of your own home likely will be thrown out in this type of market.
Get preapproved » Don't even think about making an offer without financing. Sellers aren't interested.

In fact, prices increased on a year-over-year basis in both April and May, the first back-to-back monthly jumps since the downturn began.
In terms of inventory, about 4,700 homes in Salt Lake County are listed for sale but not yet under contract. That's a 15-year low. Inventory levels peaked in 2008 at 8,200 active listings, according to data from the Realtor group.
The downturn began in 2007 when the nation's subprime lending crisis led to a crackdown on loose lending standards in which almost anyone could qualify for a home loan. The accompanying housing bust made it tougher to get a home loan or to refinance.
Uncertain market » Financing is still an issue — many buyers still can't qualify for a home loan and those who do often can't borrow all they had hoped. And many Utahns still are struggling with unemployment and underemployment.
But thanks to all the corporate expansions along the Wasatch Front, there are more people with the jobs and the incomes needed to buy a home.
Interest among potential buyers led a homeowner in Bountiful to recently raise the asking price to $195,000 from $188,000. The 2,200-square-foot home eventually went under contract even higher — at $201,000.
Although the deals — both in terms of home prices and mortgage rates — can be the best in years, buyers face another big obstacle aside from low inventory levels.
Much of the market is made up of distressed properties in the form of either foreclosures or short sales, which can lead to complex and time-consuming home purchases. Distressed-property sales often can take longer — sometimes much longer — than a traditional purchase.
Yet they can be difficult to avoid. In Salt Lake County, there are about 1,300 homes listed as short sales, which represents about 20 percent of all the 6,700 active and under-contract listings. Add in foreclosures, and the share of distressed properties on the market account for 30 percent to 40 percent of all listings.
Demand and supply » That said, the deals offered by a bank trying to unload unwanted real estate often can't be beat.
The bad news for bargain seekers is that the flood of distressed properties has slowed to more of a dribble. Although last year there was some worry that another big wave of foreclosures locally in 2012 could hurt the recovering housing market, most real estate agents along the Wasatch Front are now doubtful there will be another wave here. And even if there is, it would be welcomed as a way to ease the inventory crunch.
"Another wave of foreclosures hitting the market wouldn't actually be so bad right now," says the Salt Lake Board of Realtors' Pozzuoli.
Over time, low inventory levels and higher demand eventually could lead to sustained home-price increases. That's because buyers competing against each other increasingly make above-asking-price offers.
And although that reduces affordability, it does ease another problem — the high share of homeowners who are underwater, or who owe more than their homes are worth. An estimated one-quarter of homeowners in Utah are either underwater or near that point, which makes it difficult to sell their home without approval from a bank. Homeowners in that situation are either stuck paying on homes that they can't sell or forced to walk away from their loan obligations.
In South Jordan, at the property in the Daybreak development, the sellers did just that. The vacated home is being sold by a bank via short sale, which is reviewing the 18 offers. With more than one dozen offers, the Multiple-Listing Service entry on the home warns agents not to submit any other offers or show the home to prospective buyers.
Buyers vying the for the property have bid up the asking price of the home, listed at $299,900, to $350,000.
The highest offer often is accepted but not always. Cash buyers have an advantage, as in some cases do those with conventional loans instead of lower-down payment loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration.Next Page >

For creepyunclerichard and okayophelia.léa seydoux as lucrezia borgia
sophie turner as giulia farnese
sebastian stan as cesare borgia
ian mcshane as pope alexander vi
FERRARA, 1509. Two years since the death of Cesare Borgia at Viana, and six since Pope Alexander VI breathed his last to the delight of all Italy. In the gilded rooms of the Castle Estense, Lucrezia Borgia, last remaining member of the once glorious House of Borgia, is awaiting the birth of her fourth child when Giulia Farnese arrives unexpectedly on the steps of her castle. In a series of interlocking memories, the two women recall the rise and fall of a dynasty; from the sunsoaked plains of Xativa to the shadowed intrigues of the Eternal City, and finally to the meteoric fall from grace of the family that had, for a few short years, ruled Christendom.
Woven, always, into the stories these two old friends share by firelight, is the figure of a man known to the world as Il Valentino; hated by many, feared by all, and forgotten by none. In the corners of the palazzo, Cesare Borgia lingers. In books Lucrezia keeps by her bedside, the Spanish oranges which perfume the room, and the sword she keeps encased in glass - inscribed, in a boast made too early, with the words aut caesar aut nihil - the memory of the man who had inspired Machiavelli's greatest work lives on within his sister's four walls.
You don't do me justice, sis. Lucrezia waits. Lucrezia speaks. Lucrezia remembers.
You'll forget about me after I've been gone.

Become an Astronomer
Astronomers investigate everything between Earth and the farthest reaches of the Universe. If instruments can collect it, Astronomers will analyze it. While professionals use expensive cutting-edge technology, this is still a field where amateurs with simple tools discover new things all the time.
A few sample challenges:
25 Things To Do Before You Turn 25
1. Make peace with your parents. Whether you finally recognize that they actually have your best interests in mind or you forgive them for being flawed human beings, you can't happily enter adulthood with that familial brand of resentment.
2. Kiss someone you think is out of your league; kiss models and med students and entrepreneurs with part-time lives in Dubai and don't worry about if they're going to call you afterward.
3. Minimize your passivity.
4. Work a service job to gain some understanding of how tipping works, how to keep your cool around assholes, how a few kind words can change someone's day.
5. Recognize freedom as a 5:30 a.m. trip to the diner with a bunch of strangers you've just met.
6. Try not to beat yourself up over having obtained a 'useless' Bachelor's Degree. Debt is hell, and things didn't pan out quite like you expected, but you did get to go to college, and having a degree isn't the worst thing in the world to have. We will figure this mess out, I think, probably; the point is you're not worth less just because there hasn't been an immediate pay off for going to school. Be patient, work with what you have, and remember that a lot of us are in this together.
7. If you're employed in any capacity, open a savings account. You never know when you might be unemployed or in desperate need of getting away for a few days. Even $10 a week is $520 more a year than you would've had otherwise.
8. Make a habit of going outside, enjoying the light, relearning your friends, forgetting the internet.
9. Go on a 4-day, brunch-fueled bender.
10. Start a relationship with your crush by telling them that you want them. Directly. Like, look them in the face and say it to them. Say, I want you. I want to be with you.
11. Learn to say 'no' — to yourself. Don't keep wearing high heels if you hate them; don't keep smoking if you're disgusted by the way you smell the morning after; stop wasting entire days on your couch if you're going to complain about missing the sun.
12. Take time to revisit the places that made you who you are: the apartment you grew up in, your middle school, your hometown. These places may or may not be here forever; you definitely won't be.
13. Find a hobby that makes being alone feel lovely and empowering and like something to look forward to.
14. Think you know yourself until you meet someone better than you.
15. Forget who you are, what your priorities are, and how a person should be.
16. Identify your fears and instead of letting them dictate your every move, find and talk to people who have overcome them. Don't settle for experiencing .000002% of what the world has to offer because you're afraid of getting on a plane.
17. Make a habit of cleaning up and letting go. Just because it fit at one point doesn't mean you need to keep it forever — whether 'it' is your favorite pair of pants or your ex.
18. Stop hating yourself.
19. Go out and watch that movie, read that book, listen to that band you already lied about watching, reading, listening to.
20. Take advantage of health insurance while you have it.
21. Make a habit of telling people how you feel, whether it means writing a gushing fan-girl email to someone whose work you love or telling your boss why you deserve a raise.
22. Date someone who says, "I love you" first.
23. Leave the country under the premise of "finding yourself." This will be unsuccessful. Places do not change people. Instead, do a lot of solo drinking, read a lot of books, have sex in dirty hostels, and come home when you start to miss it.
24. Suck it up and buy a Macbook Pro.
25. Quit that job that's making you miserable, end the relationship that makes you act like a lunatic, lose the friend whose sole purpose in life is making you feel like you're perpetually on the verge of vomiting. You're young, you're resilient, there are other jobs and relationships and friends if you're patient and open.

24/25 ain't bad…
However, this list sounds like it was written by someone with an incredible amount of privilege in their life. Not everyone is so fortunate to be provided these opportunities.

Sounds interesting, tho I definitely am against 24. in the literal sense. I do get that luxury can be good sometimes, but a Mac…? Nahh.

Lactic Acid for red marks baby!
Posted 01 March 2004 - 09:24 AM
Well I hadn't used it since last September then a couple of weeks ago, I decided to leave the stuff on a couple of areas. I left on the lactic acid 50% until I couldn't stand it....30 minutes. I wanted to focus on a spot which had remaining redmarks from laser and a raised spot from laser. Directly after rinsing with cold water I put the basil "toner" on then followed with fresh aloe vera...
Results: My skin scabbed up and the red mark is finally gone, gone, gone!
The raised mark is slightly lower. I'm just thrilled that it worked so well.
The scabbing lasted well into ten days, but would flake a little each day..
I think people should build up to this gradually as well and see what your skin can tolerate. My skin looks so much healthier as a result.
Posted 08 March 2004 - 04:45 PM
And my skin really looked nice after. (55% lactic) Some red marks looked faded ... will check again in a few days to see if I'm seeing things!
Maybe I'll try 30 minutes next time.

Posted 08 March 2004 - 05:21 PM
I really like how my face looks today. The 55% lactic rocks. I only leave it on for five minutes each time. I think I'll bump it up a notch on Sunday. Maybe leave it on for 8-10 minutes.
I'm glad you're seeing results, Nancy & Maya!! That's great!! =D>

New people - start slow.
Posted 09 March 2004 - 07:17 AM
I do think it's both. My skin developed a tolerance from the prior times I used lactic acid, but this is the first time I fried my skin. If I didn't leave it on so long, I would not have gotten the peeling effect which is what caused the skin to scab up and then slough off the skin with the redness in it.
I was a little scared when I put it on the raised part 'cause my skin totally puffed up and turned white, later it was really red. I do think it's important to take small steps like I mentioned. Also, I think it's equally important to put something on the skin after to help heal and try to repair the skin.

No, I went straight to Richard's site at: http://loganwoodskin...m?ID=96E742F8-3
It's actually on sale right now. A one ounce bottle for $25.00. You can't beat that price. So I've decided I'm gonna mix the remaining 55% that I have with the 85% when I get it and use that......I figure it can't be much worse/stronger than the TCA Complex I've been using. It's lactic and lactic is usually pretty gentle. But I'm gonna go slow and bump it up 30 seconds to 1 minute with each peel.
I'll keep you posted.

The thing I'm concerned with mostly is the sun causing the hyperpig to darken again, so I just purchased another bottle of Total Block SPF 65 to ensure that won't happen. It's been REALLY HOT and sunshiney here this week.....I don't want to go backward in my treatment and this sunblock IS THE BEST OUT THERE.

Yes, Misty. I use the Total Block Clear SPF 65.....cause any other sunblock (in the summer) just doesn't seem to do it's job......usually, in the winter, I use Nature's Gate Dry Sportblock SPF 30 cause it's alot cheaper than the Total Block and you can find it at any healthfood store or have them order it for you......but make sure it says Dry Sportblock on the bottle......it's wonderful.....dries matte, doesn't "bleed" into and sting the eyes.....so it's a nice, cheaper winter alternative......but it's been sunshiney as all hell out here this week, and I had run out of the Total Block and hadn't planned on re-purchasing until it was closer to summer......but now I just want to fully protect the improvement on my hyperpig that I'm afraid NOT to use the Total Block.
Anyway, back to your original question.....you can usually have it special ordered at your local pharmacy.....but I've just been purchasing it from http://www.dermadoctor.com/ for $23 a bottle plus $3.95 for UPS Second Day Air shipping, which is not too bad. I know $26.95 seems like an awful lot for sunscreen, but the sun rays can be BRUTAL in Southern California and I think it's counter-productive to use AHA's, etc., that reveal new, fresh skin and then to not protect that skin with a good, complete sunscreen just seems silly to me. I feel that a good sunscreen, like a good foundation, is very important. And it's a two ounce bottle, so it lasts quite some time if you only use it for your face. The thing I love the most about it is that you can apply this stuff on your eyelids and even right underneath your eyes and it does not run into them and sting them. I love it. I really do......anyway, I hope that helps!!
Posted 11 March 2004 - 03:19 PM
I am currently using TCA complex. red scars look far worse and hyperpigmented after 1st day use and make up does not cover it up properly. I would say the downtime on this could be up to 3-5 days. No peeling the day after, but face looks blotchy and worse

If the cure for mortality is found within your lifetime, would you go for it and become immortal?
On the one hand, we're not made for eternal youth. And one could argue that knowing life is short (or just limited) is what makes it worth living. And perhaps death is a major spiritual part of life, whether you believe in a soul or in a metaphorical one.
On the other hand, how is aging yet not another disease? Dying at age 80 is no more a "natural" death than being eaten alive by a bear or killed by malaria. In fact, "old age" is probably the most unnatural cause of death, statistically. So all that's probably just a cultural habit : diseases are evil but aging is good. Another point is that, well, things have changed. Perhaps our new environment makes it suitable for immortal youths.
And of course, becoming immortal only means that you die when YOU chose to die.
So would you go for the injection or not, and how do you rationalize your decision?

Taniya SinghNov 11 2013: I agree with Hans. I agree with most people's reasons but I would have to say that I would go for the injection.
Nothing would please me more than to see how our world is going to look like in the future. I am so thrilled to have been born in the digital age that I can't even imagine life without it. As a student studying electrical engineering, I'm fascinated buy how this technology is going to change in a 100, 1000 years from now. I would love to be alive to see that.
Of course the biggest downfall would be to see your friends and family go but personally, I can adjust. I have many friends of all ages and I can control my emotions and create deep, meaningful relationships with many people.
I don't think I could ever get bored because I too (as Hans said) am passionate about many things and the only thing stopping from me fulfilling all of them is time. I live in the moment and to the fullest, and as a very independent individual, I can say that taking that injecting will definitely be worth it for me.

Possible environmental concerns about big plans for the CSRA.
Wednesday, plans were announced for an outlet mall in the Village at Riverwatch next to Costco and the future Cabelas. That property backs up directly to the Augusta canal.
The canal provides up to 60% of Augusta's drinking water. So we brought your concerns straight to the director of the city's utilities department and he says your tap water, will stay good.
City of Augusta leaders say there's no reason to be concerned.
"We've looked at that and have known that was going to develop into retail for quite some time now and I think we're safe" said Tom Wiedmier, the director of Augusta Utilities. He wants you to know that the new outlet mall set to be built in the Village at Riverwatch will not have an effect on the nearby Augusta Canal.
Ground has not broken yet on the site for the outlet, but plans show it will back up to the Augusta Canal, which supplies up to 60% Augusta's drinking water.
The city has looked at ways to make sure there would be no runoff from construction or anything else that could go into the canal.
Wiedmier says, "One thing is that there is an adequate buffer maintained on the canal. That's important to us. that would help with any direct runoff."
State law requires at least 25 feet of undisturbed brush between the outlet mall and the Augusta canal to prevent anything toxic from going into the water.
"I feel very comfortable with the set up that we have and the development that is coming. We're blessed with a good system and a good source of water and I think our residents can rest assured," said Wiedmier.
The development is not expected to break ground until 50% of the units are sold. Developers hope that is by November of this year. If that happens, the outlet mall is expected to open in Spring of 2016.

Add to cart
Usually ships within 2 business days.
Product Details
Featuring: Aloe Blacc (of Emanon); Joseph; Miguel Jontel; Ta'Raach; The Koochie Monstas
Producers: Exile (of Emanon)
SummaryBlu is the leader of West Coast Hip Hop. Since the days of Pharcyde, Freestyle Fellowship, and Jurassic 5, there have been few wordsmiths that have grasped the attention of listeners worldwide. Introduced to NWA and Public Enemy by his father, Blu later was captivated by the likes of Black Star, The Roots, and Common, creating a unique balance that is displayed in Blu's personality and music.
Blu's first full length LP, "Below the Heavens" pairs Blu with producer Exile on the Sound in Color imprint. His first single, "Narrow Path" has rocked stages across the world, as fans begin to feel the impact of Blu's music. His delivery flows flawlessly, while the content reflects the joy and pain of working class youth everywhere. Since the release of "Narrow Path," Blu has performed alongside Slum Village, X-Clan, Platinum Pied Pipers, Lyrics Born, DJ Houseshoes, and many others, while participating in 3 high-profile nationwide tours alongside musical family members: Ta'Raach, Aloe Blacc, and Exile.
The buzz has fans salivating for new music. Worldwide, people are looking to put hope into the 'next' emcee that will give them the same feeling when they first heard Black Thought, Common, or Slum Village. Blu fulfills this need, but maintains something that is entirely new, while not recycled.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've been playing EVE for about 18 months now, it's now my primary MMO. I will say that it does seem like more WoW players are showing up these days, I'm guessing it's because of some of the good press that EVE has been getting lately as well as some of the in game events (I was drawn to it when Goonswarm effectively dismantled the BoB alliance through corporate espionage and started taking their territory). I have a couple of suggestions for those of you who are interested in trying it out:
1 - *DO* *NOT* name your pilot anything WoW related, you will be mercilessly ganked non-stop until you emorage quit.
2 - As soon as you pop into the game join the EVE University's public chat channel, E-UNI, and ask how to join. EVE University is a non-profit player run corp that has been training new players to EVE for over 5 years now, and it is by far the best way to learn the game. They have regular classes on just about all aspects of the game, as well as a recorded media library of past classes that anyone (even non-members) can use. Also ask about the Uni Wiki, it has a ton of great info and well written guides to help you get started in the game.
3 - Keep an open mind while playing and learning. EVE Online is like nothing else you've ever played, MMO or otherwise. There are no levels, classes, or endgame. It is a true "sandbox" game where hundreds of thousands of players all play on the same server.
4 - EVE Online is not for everyone. While WoW is generally designed to appeal to a broad base of players, EVE Online is not, and it might not be the game for you. Don't feel that you have to try to like it or change to enjoy it's somewhat unique style of game design, if it isn't you're cup of tea then just take what you've learned and move on.
There are a lot of different ways to play EVE, so even if you're not big on PvP you can still play the game and have a lot of fun, though I have to warn you, EVE's mission system is nothing like WoW's quests, so if you're expecting the kind of PvE content that WoW has you'll be disappointed.

Fu Yew bought a lobster from the fish market during his lunch break today! It was an accident finding, but that's only one. Maybe the lobster was separated from its fellow friends, and was lost on its way home, and eventually ended up in the fisherman's net. Awww, pity fellow... But don't worry, we were very happy to find you! Lol... The lobster only cost Fu Yew Rs50. Both of us never cook lobster before, so, Fu Yew just gave a shot. He cook it (or can say grill it) with butter and garlic. Hmmmm~~ The smell was so nice! The lobster was not very big though, but trust me, the flesh was damn nice!! So fresh, so tender, the smell still linger in my mouth... One is really not enough for both of us! But sadly we forgot to take the photo of the lobster after we cook it. We were so anxious in trying the lobster. The dinner tonight was superb! Hee...
Okay now, wipe off the saliva. ^.^

Of exploding WCs
Somewhere, 15 floors below, some bombs explode.
I must explain, the bathrooms open out onto a duct, which creates hissing house of horror wind sounds on an average windy day, teeth chattering spooky sounds at the height of the monsoon, and thanks to the wonderful promise of a 22 floor echo possibility, is the chosen spot for bomb enthusiasts to exercise their skills.
Therefore, the bomb burst. And the door of the bathroom burst open and the brat came running out. (For those of you who will undoubtedly be curious, he had not yet commenced the business at hand, therefore all was clean and hygienic).
"Mamma, the toilet had bomb."
And continued in absolute incoherent terror. "Someone lit bomb in the potty. When I wuz sitting down. The potty expodid."
Mamma held his hand, calmed him down and opened the bathroom door and showed him said sanitaryware, very much intact.
Brat instinctly looked down at his plumbing area.
"But there wuzabom. It expodid."
Mamma explained how the bomb had exploded many floors below and how he should get back on his perch. But the urge had passed.
Sometime later, the urge struck again. And the fear of the expodingbom had him contort himself rather than risk sitting on the expoding potty.
So Mamma offered to accompany him, and supervise from the bathroom window slats to ensure no miscreants expoded boms in the potty.
This time round the task was done to no further exposions. Therefore says brat, "Mamma, the boms getting fwightened of you."
Mamma laughs, and not knowing what she's getting herself into, says in all innocence, "Yes, love."
After a bit, the pater decides to take his morning newspaper and step into the bathroom. The brat stops him sternly.
"Pappa, take Mamma with you to potty. No boms will expoding."
And with that,
Happy Diwali all.

Its Diwali time
Given that he is not allowed within ten feet of any firecracker that is not a sparkler, this is at the best a wish list.
Yes, yes, I can just see myself as the mother waving him off on his first bike. Yup, I'm the mother who is going to be flying behind holding onto the pillion snarling at traffic to keep out of the way.
"Mamma, I wanna rocket."
"Mamma, I wanna fountain."
"Mamma, I wanna adambom."
Mamma plays deaf. The father's ears prick up. The son is showing signs of machoness.
"Beta, Pappa will get you 2000 ka ladh," says Pappa excitedly. "Will you light it?"
Mamma snarls like the little girl in The Exorcist and spits green ketchup at Pappa.
"Over my dead body." And mentions something about environment pollution, waste of money, child labour and such like. All which is dismissed with a wave of a hand by said Pappa.
Mamma is sure, given the prospect of lighting adamboms, Pappa wouldnt mind stepping over above mentioned body.
"Will you make him a sissy?" says Pappa with all the sternness he can muster up in face of feral mamma.
"He has to learn."
Mamma snarls something on the lines of there being time enough for such rubbish and the child will stick with sparklers under supervision but Pappa is having none of it.
Yup. Mamma can just see Pappa, eyes gleaming, giving the brat his rite of passage birthday gift on his 18th budday. The damn motorbike of her nightmares.
"Mamma, buy for me adambom. And umbrella rocket. And snake."
Mamma agrees to the last. Snake pellets. Anyone remember them. Black pellets that rise up when lit. Into snakoid forms. And leave round black marks on pristine flooring.
"Mamma, I wanna tipligun. To do bang bang."
Mamma gives up.
And a Happy Diwali to you too.

And here's how the brat became a big boy...
Winning first prize at his first fancy dress competition as Noddy.
Having long conversations on Mamma's mobile, and then dunking it into hot tea and ruining it forever.
Through some gun play, some dress up, and some study.
To going to the park with Mamma, here all of nine months and fresh from his mundan.
With his first few teeth poking though and making his smile a million dollar one.
Here having a good butt scratch.
Lolling on the sofas.
And still a chubby baby.
I miss this baby, gurgling and Johnson's Baby Powder fresh.
And of course, you all know the latest Raikonnen avatar so not going to repeat those and Spiderman.

And my son grows up...
He will turn five in a few days, and it seems like it was just yesterday that he was born. A mewling little ball of flesh who terrified me. I didnt know what to do with him. I had never ever in my entire life held a newborn and now I was wholly and solely responsible for a life. It was scary. He was my responsibility.
His skin was mottled blue with patches. I was assured they would fade over time, they terrified me, what was with this child's skin, would he be doomed to covering his legs all his life to hide the blue green patches all over. Yesterday, I suddenly realised, while bathing him, that they had faded away. The skin was smooth, brown. He has my skin tone, my son. And nothing else from me. Perhaps my eyelashes. And my insatiable curiousity. The rest of him is all Pappa. For a while he had fooled us. He seemed to look like me. Everyone said so. And now suddenly, he's done a volte face and become a reduction xerox of his father. I couldnt be more pleased. I see both of them, Pappa and son, sleeping next to each other, his leg thrown royally over Pappa's tummy, their faces like reproductions of each other and my heart bursts with joy.
He is also becoming a big boy. He is doing everything 'apne aap'. This means bathing himself, washing his bum (though I need to muscle in at this point and cross check that the faucet has been directed appropriately and for requisite amount of time), doing his homework apne aap. Which I have been encouraging, by leaving him with a page and explanations of the task to be completed and disappearing while it is being done, the downside is that he flat out, foot down firmly on ground, refuses to redo anything done wrong. Small price to pay for independence. Even if the alphabets are scurrying all around the page like ants thrown into disarray rather than in orderly lines. And he is playing with his friends apne aap. I no longer need to step in and explain the rules of the games to him, or help him follow the instructions. He's come a long way, my baby.
He had grey eyes when he was born, they've changed to a deep brown. Like his father's. He is a barrel of monkeys on a roll most of the day. He chatters non stop. And I remember the days I had to cajole words out of him. When I sat and made excel sheets of the words he was using, and segregating them into appropriate context of use and pronounciation. He speaks fluent English and Hindi today. And knows some colourful cuss words too, thanks to belligerent Pappa yelling at lackeys on the phone in his presence. And I remember the days when he would be lost in his own world. Not respond to his name. When he would repeat back questions asked to him. Echolalia, they said it was called. Its nowhere in evidence now.
And his inability to sit still for a minute. He now sits down for well over an hour and does his writing practice. And does it happily too. Without being threatened, cajoled or bribed to do so. I have to meet his teachers tomorrow for the mid term parent teacher meet. I know I will go to this meeting with not a single flutter in my heart, my son has surpassed every expectation I had of him being able to catch up with the rest of his class, and more.
He has become such a big boy now. I get a perverse pleasure from making him wear clothes he has outgrown. And I flick through photographs to see him like he was, tiny, gurgling, chubby, stubborn. Laughing when I kissed him and bounced him on my lap. And I see him as he is now, a big boy. Who furiously rubs his cheeks to wipe off Mamma's kichus, who forbids Mamma from hugging him in public, who is embarassed to hold Mamma's hand. Already. Mard ka bachcha. Who still comes running to Mamma when he falls down and scrapes his knee.
My dear son, you've grown up too soon for me. I miss your baby breath, I miss being able to carry you in my arms everywhere. I miss deciding what clothes you should wear, and I miss cuddling and kissing you whenever I felt like it.
Dont ever become so big that you dont ever need your Mamma. Indulge this old lady. Let her hug you sometimes.

Don call...
So the morning starts, he stretches languidly like a cat as the rays of sunlight I cruelly let fall on his face from the bathroom window slats, via left open bathroom door. Opens his eyes. "Mamma, don call A fer my buddaypahty. He pushme yetterday."
"Okay beta," says Mamma, not even bothering to get into the "You went for his birthday party, so you have to invite him for yours."
"An Mamma, doncall K fer the buddaypahty. He peenchmyface yetterday."
Mamma shoves toothbrush into the brat's mouth to keep the litany from flowing. He pulls out toothbrush and begins complaining again violently. "An don call B, he throw my tiffin on d floor."
Mamma makes him rinse and spit. The litany continues. "And don call R, she complain to teacher about me."
In five minutes he had eliminated his entire class from the guest list. Weary Mamma sits down, towels him dry and asks him sincerely, "Whom do you want to call for your party then?"
He thinks long and hard. And starts. "Ben10. Hattori. Perman. Spiderman. Superman. Spunjbob. And Doraemon. Not Shinchan. He also a naughty boy. Teacher said don see Shin Chan."

The budday pahty draws near
There are lists. Long lists waiting to be ticked off, and got under control. Like so much of mamma's life but thats a different issue and a different post in a different blog, so one will not dwell about it. Like the item about getting nasal hair trimmed. Its been languishing unticked for months in the mental checklist until a coughing spell showed me nostril foliage I could have sent remains off to the wigmakers.
But this is the birthday party checklist. Right now I have the hall. And the games host. And the DJ and the tattoo artist and the decorations in place. It helps that they're all a one stop shop so could do them all at one go. And I have the invitation cards designed and ready to be printed. And the return gift labels. I have the brat's outfit ready. Rather, the doting grandmother organised this way back when monsoon sales had everything at half price, so we have a jacket and a pant, and a Tshirt that is to be worn while the cake is being cut. Which brings me to the cake. That has to be ordered. I will probably remember to do this one day before the birthday and run tearing hair out to Hangout and grovel before the minions there to execute my very immediate order as in the next day. Yes, mamma is the epitome of organisational skills. Which is why she normally realises she has nothing to wear an hour before the do and runs screaming into next door malls to pick up the only decent things that fit, read tent kurtis, and runs out to ensure the guests havent done the cake cutting themselves. That brings us to the end of the party and return gifts. Ackkk! That lends itself to another round of frenzied shopping through wholesale toy stores where everything comes with a Made in China label and which mamma personally detests, but is willing to dig deep into to find something worth gifting. Last year it was a stationery set. The year before that was one of those visors with built in sunglasses that the kids never wore or if they did it never fit. This year, she's searching for something utilitarian and fun. She probably has still to realise she has very high expectations from wholesale toy suppliers.
The brat on the other hand is clear about what he wants. "Tell dDJ I wan Rockon. And Singyking. And Diwalipardner. And Spiderman song."
Mamma must remember to book herself for a massage the next day. Her feet will sure need it.

De dhana dhan
So Mamma was physically holding down featherweight DJs who were being blown off in the general direction towards Gujarat which in troth would have been a good business proposition, seeing as emergency DJs can charge a whole lot extra than those booked in regular time. Which is what mamma with her very efficient planning, as in, lets do this dandiya thingie tomorrow, discovered. A sincere prayer to Mata Rani to keep our laaj (honour) and let us not have a space flight simulation experience resulted in the winds actually quietening down and the thick black mocking clouds getting blown over, followed by a nice, pleasant gentle breeze, so Mamma is now convinced that there is something definitely to prayer that comes wrenched out from the bottom of the heart.
The brat, thankfully, was tired to the bone in anticipation of the evening's revelries and had taken himself to bed in the afternoon, snoring mouth wide open the sleep of the Kumbhakaran parents he has descended from. Which allowed Mamma to run around squealing, and putting things together, along with a couple of other similar enthu cutlet mammas from the building. And which involved a lot of standing around with hands on the hips and yelling instructions to watchmen and electricians and pandalwallahs given that the pappas had all averred sincerely that we mammas were wonderful organisers and would do a great job, and were sitting around watching television and swilling beer through the afternoon. Mamma did so much of shouting at the top of her voice to get things organised, standing in typical arms akimbo, feet planted like tree trunks pose, that she actually sniffed her fingers to check if they smelt fishy.
A couple of really nasty squabbles later we were set. And went up to change. And the brat was awake and ready and raring to go. The grandmother had in her devotion got him a pair of silver dandiyas and a new dandiya costume. Silver as in wooden painted over with silver paint. Mamma is not sending the child down with any precious metal on his person. Face washed and scrubbed. Evening gu gu ingested. And dress up happened. The dhoti tied on, the frock type upper worn and tied with the infinite tassels that hold it together. The cap placed rakishly at an angle. If truth be told, mamma would have been able to hold it to the scalp with the aid of a hair pin, so overdue is the brat for a hair cut. But of course that would have been girly, and minor eruptions were already happening over the `frock' one was inflicting on the poor macho male. "I not wearing frock. Evyone laffatme."
Mamma tuned into 24 hour local channel telecasting live dandiya nites and showed him the acrobatics of similarly dressed lads. "I not jumping round and round. Is stupid. "
Mamma, already having downed three Disprins for headache which had reached proportions that would guarantee no action in the bedroom till she reached the grave, locked herself in the bathrooom and dressed up, ignoring the whine whine whine seeping through the door.
When she emerged the brat was nowhere to be seen. The pappa had been whined into taking him down. Mamma followed. To see the brat preening like a peacock in hot mating season, showing off his togs to all and sundry down. Read raggle taggle bunch of kids of assorted size and dress of which exactly two others were dressed in similar style. Therefore they were given the dubious honour of starting off the dance. But the kids, they had different and more exciting plans as to how the evening was to progress. The dandiyas became weapons of assault, and they began playing cops and robbers through the crowd. Hiding behind chairs, taking pot shots at each other with their rifles, and yes, Pappa is going to be sternly warned about watching his Schwarzenegger movies when brat is fast asleep.
Finally, the long distance action didnt appeal, and the trio actually got down to fisticuffs, like men. With the brat deciding the dandiyas could do double duty as lathi. The top of his kathiawadi costume undone, hair dishevelled, this was the moment mamma realised, had it been the Hindi movies, where the hero is getting down to serious pummelling of the villian in the villians den, with said villian just waiting around to be bashed up with fake fighting sounds in the background. Bishoom, bishoom. At this point, he was physically hoisted and despatched back home to a punishment of watching television serials with the dadi by the Pappa. Which he did without a moue of protest. Perhaps, he realised he had gone too far. Perhaps he didnt dare argue with the Pappa.
Mamma reached home, holding her feet in her hands, and promising the Pappa that should she ever find her head beneath the headache, he could renounce the vow of celibacy she was foisting on him, to find all the contents of the many toy baskets on the floor and the bed.
"Brat," in very stern voice, "Please keep all your toys back in the basket."
Brat ignores the command royally. The headache takes on proportions that now require a lobotomy to be guaranteed relief.
"Brat!" Louder. With definite intonation. "Pick this up right now."
"You only pickitup." Rudeness, insolence and backanswering. The Pappa comes to the rescue before mamma pounces and shakes the insolence out of brat.
"Whatever toy you dont pick up and put in the basket in five minutes goes straight into the dustbin."
A worker bee couldnt have worked harder and faster to get things into the honeycomb.
Finally, the Kathiawadi ensemble removed, the mamma having conned the pappa to keep heavy weight legs on her own or failing which offering the pappa kitchen knife to saw hers off, and the brat all set to go to the land of Nod. The room dark and the mamma half snoring inelegantly.
"Mamma, I looking very handsome, no?"
"Yes, my love."
"V din say you looking very handsome. Thaswhy I fight wid him."
Mamma hugged brat and assured him he was the handsomest thing to hit the planet since Marlon Brando.
"Mamma I donwanna wear frock tumaru. Is not nice. I feel shy. Is for gurlz. I only take dandiya. Thas fer boyz."

Creative Collaborations: Four brands doing it right
These days no-one blinks an eye if a Grizzly Bear song is featured in a car ad or if Daft Punk pop up alongside other pop culture heavyweights in a commercial for a popular sports brand, the ad itself, managing to cobble together all of these stars into a George Lucas-approved Star Wars concept.
iTunes' advert spots from five years ago helped launch the career of Feist and others into the mainstream. Corporate patrons have tangible benefits and many more musicians and artists are increasingly comfortable with corporations and brands funding their creativity. Most collaborations are accepted by fans. The exception to the rule, are venerated rock stars whose fanbases can't marry the blatant commercialism with supposed legendary punk spirit – see Iggy Pop flouncing around for a car insurance company or John Lydon advertising butter.
Despite the uncomfortable relationship between art and commerce, there has been some great examples recently of engaging online campaigns that straddle both successfully. Here are four:
1) The Creators Project – thecreatorsproject.com
A collaboration between Intel and cool bible Vice, The Creators Project kicked off in NYC last month, calling itself "a completely new kind of arts and culture channel for a completely new kind of world." Basically, this allows the organisers to get in the coolest bands around (M.I.A, Sleigh Bells, The Rapture, Die Antwoord), revered film directors (hello Spike Jonze), art installations and more. Cram them into large warehouse spaces and you've got a hot event taking place in London, Seoul, Sao Paolo over the coming months. Even if you can't make any of the events, the website has tons of original content to peruse and is genuine in engaging the art side of your brain.

Father and Son – the viral
It sounded like a good idea at the time. An Elvis-impersonating father and his son decide to sing a cover of Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight and perform in a bonding but awful music video. Still, at least they are having fun.
Band of Blogs: Bingo, Hipster Youth, Maximum Balloon & Magnetic Man
There's not a whole lot of Irish producers making dubstep-tinged garage and UK funk but 21 year-old Frank Sweeney is one Dubliner impressing with his recent tracks, recalling the likes of Burial, Mount Kimbie; producers at the forefront of future music in the UK.
Hipster Youth
Another young man, this time 19 year-old Aidan Wall, who also records under the moniker Porn On Vinyl, has released his debut album Teenage Elders for free download. It's filled with bedroom-made lo-fi electronica and chiptune tracks.

An overload of animated images drawn from all types of culture, sport and internet memes.
A viral too far
The longest drawn out viral mystery ever produced for the internet, iamamiwhoami, which I wrote about here back in January continues to periodically churn out interesting Youtube music videos without reaching a conclusion.
Originally, the enigmatic productions featuring a blonde woman and lots of vague symbolism was purported to be any one of a range of pop stars and musicians: guesses included Christina Aguilera, Goldfrapp, Lady Gaga, The Knife and Little Boots. None of these were correct and while there is no absolute reveal of the artist in question; many observers (myself included) believe the project is the work of Swedish singer Jonna Lee. The songs featured in the videos have become more memorable while the mystery has all but vanished. A commenter on my site Nialler9.com revealed that the single letter title of the most recent videos spell out 'B-O-U-N-T-Y' and that a simple internet domain search on the website iambounty.com reveals that that site is registered to Ms. Lee.
It's a pity that the viral has dragged on so long, as it has inevitably lost interest of the course of the last seven months. A pity too because the most recent song was actually the best thing I've heard from the project. You can see all 12 of the videos here.
Another mystery long-awaiting an answer is "whatever happened to Lauryn Hill?". The former Fugees singer and solo artist whose The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album was amongst the best of the '90s has been absent from music for much of the new century and with gig cancellations, erratic behaviour and stalled recording sessions defining recent years. Hill finally broke the silence last week in an interview with NPR in the US where she talked about the reasons for why she stopped releasing music, her voice and a possible return to the stage. You can hear the whole interview.
Meanwhile, anarchic Photoshop-heavy message board 4Chan devised a cunning plan based around teeny bopper Justin Bieber's upcoming world tour. Bieber is giving fans around the world an opportunity to decide where he performs. The pranksters at 4Chan have rallied around North Korea as the number one country of choice. The ploy has worked with North Korea at the top spot with over 460,000 votes closely followed by Israel. Somehow, I doubt that Kim Jong Il is the kind of guy who dances on his "ronery" to songs like 'Baby' but if he is, and he is truly an internet expert like he claims, then it may be 'Great Leader' himself who is doing all the voting.
See the final result.

Staying the Course - Part 2
- Monday, August 11, 2003
Once you are satisfied that continuing to homeschool is not in question, you need to reassess how you and your children are doing.
One method you might use to monitor how well-rounded your program is (and how well-prepared your students are for any possible direction) is to evaluate your program regularly. We did this at least twice a year in our homeschool, though we never had an official evaluation form. We regularly looked at our children's progress, their eventual goals, how the methods we were using were working, and how our homeschool was functioning as a whole.
We were never afraid to ditch a whole system or curriculum whenever we felt the need. There was even a year when in March we determined nothing was working, and we dropped everything. We were under a tremendous amount of family stress related to jobs and moving, and quite frankly, we couldn't handle anything more than the basics of life. One day, we sat down and announced that all scheduled bookwork was off for the rest of the year, and we unschooled. The children read, did crafts and cooking, watched educational programming on television, played games, and helped out with the farm and housework. It was the break everyone needed and did not slow their eventual progress one bit. Other times we have just needed to switch a math course for one child. That's the beauty of the homeschool, you are free to be flexible and pragmatic; you need only insure your own children learn, not a classroom of 30.
It might be useful for you to have some measurement tool to determine your overall progress toward the end goal of college and career. So, to that end, we offer a set of surveys for self-evaluation at different levels. The intent is to check yourself to be sure that if your child announces at some later date a drastic change in plans, your program will have been well-rounded enough to support their choices.
We suggest you fill out these surveys yourself, though you may obtain information from the student. Then, file the form in the child's file, look at it again in six months or a year, and file another updated form with it. You may feel free to reproduce these pages as needed. (This information may look familiar to some of you. It is in our Guidance Manual, and we now include it in the Parent's Guide to the Christian Homeschool Planner.)
Use these surveys to focus your attention on areas that are progressing well and those that need attention. Make adjustments in curriculum and subjects as the need arises. You may find a pattern emerge after filling out several of these forms over a period of time - we suggest at least twice a year - that will help you and your child determine a good route for the future.

Downtown gallery closes
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT — The Nina Bliese Gallery was set to close Dec. 21 after operating for six years at 225 S. Sixth St.
The modern expressionist gallery showcased 15-20 artists, and worked with 30-35 artists during its run.
"It was just time to move on," said Wendy Frieze, assistant gallery director. "We felt we had done well for our artists, but it was time for us to go and do some other things."

The British motorcycle journalists from MCN have recently tested the new Norton Commando and apart from their best impressions on the bike, they've also provided the internet world with a more than decent photo gallery that reflects the best of this revamped bike.
Featuring brembo brakes, ohlins suspension as well as light-weight carbon fiber wheels, the new Commando is not only Norton's alternative for the Triumph Thruxton , but a machine capable of becoming a benchmark for the class.
The bike is still in pre-production stages, but chief designer Simon Skinner says: "We want to retain the sihouette of this prototype because it's a very pretty little bike - butch but pretty." so chances are that not much will differ on the final version.
Inspired by the new Norton Commando, the MCN crew offer people the possibility to vote if British bike brands such as Norton, Hesketh and Brough should be revived or not. So what do you thing?

T351 Week 7 - Spring 2014
Reality check:
The interview (setting, lighting, audio, background):
Are there distractions in the background?
Subject lit - stands out from background?
Is it quiet?
(show clips?)
In general:
Just because the subject is framed nicely doesn't mean it will look good.
It needs to be lit well.
Just because the subject is lit doesn't mean it's lit well.
And even if it looks good, the interview must sound good too.

Interview / Feature Story Tips
Here are a few tips to help you approach a news/feature story based
around interviews.
Production Set up
Shooting B-Roll
Can you name some specific techniques that you can use to make sure you get outstanding B-roll?
Avoiding Jump Cuts in a single character sequence:
Sometimes you need to shoot a sequence of a subject for B-roll over an
interview or for a montage. When shooting, have the talent enter the
shot or leave the frame, or use a camera movement to change the focus
either up to or away from the subject. The reason is that we don't
want to cut from a shot with the subject in the frame to another shot
with the subject in the frame.
Proposals, Treatments & Scripts
Some students (and producers and teachers) don't know the difference between a Propgram Proposal, Treatment and a Script.
Program Proposals (see Jim's Program
Proposal overview) Program Proposals describe the purpose, scope, production method, and budget of the production. The two most important things to start with are an objective and a target
For short productions, the proposal can
include a treatment. For feature-length films, and longer-length productions,
is usually a separate document.
Treatments are essentially condensed versions of the scripts. They don't contain detailed production information, but should concisely describe the story, the act structure, and the scenes within the acts. Treatments can show precisely how the story flows by describing the dialog and action of every scene. (If the scene does not advance the character or the story, cut it out!) I typically title my scenes and describe them as a paragraph or element in my treatment. Check out the actual treatment I used to pitch the Elkinsville documentary I produced for WTIU.
Scripts (See Jim's script overview) Film style
vs. two-column.
Everything can be scripted in advance. This includes documentaries and music videos. I like to compare producers to lawyers. They shold never ask a question that they don't know the answer to. I always try to know the role that someone will play in a production before I go to interview them. If not, it's because not enought time has been spent in pre-production.
You can determine, visualize, and create the flow of an entire documentary simply by spending time doing pre-production.
Almost all of the documentaries you see on PBS, Discovery and the History channel have been planned and scripted before any production takes place. Producers and writers research the subject and approach well in advance of production. There is an unscripted approach referred to as "exploratory". It has merits, but is typically not used when large amounts of money, gear and time are at stake.
Consider your Interview/Feature Stories. How do you want it to begin? Close your eyes and imagine how you would like to introduce the viewer to the subject.
How do you get every shot you need? Visualize every shot & write
it down it down in your script.

the field. Found in every decent post-production/edit room. Very useful
when tweaking video signals with TBCs or making graphics.
Vectorscopes – display color (phase) information. They have a
round pattern on the display glass along with targets that show where
all the colors in a color bar signals should go.

How do you know the true identity of a person who shows up at your door? Cordova residents reported a woman going door to door claiming to work for the Census Bureau.
Bit when TV6 investigated, there were several red flags.
"You can say whoever you want to say you are," one neighbor says.
Neighbors TV6 spoke to did not want to be identified, but say a recent visit from a supposed Census worker raised a lot of red flags.
"She actually passed through the neighborhood multiple times which raised awareness to me," another neighbor says, "It was just out of place on a Sunday, which I thought was odd."
"It's 2013, the last census was 2010," she adds as to what tipped her off.
The Census does conduct surveys all year round to collect data on unemployment, economic status, and much more. Census officials say they were in Cordova, but not recently.
"I thought it was odd the household she wanted to visit was somebody that was out of town," one resident says.
Our source also talked with their neighbor, and almost nothing checked out.
"I said what color was her badge? She says it was like green, I said wrong," the neighbor says.
TV6 contacted the Census Bureau, they say they used to have green badges, but switched all their employees to white a few years ago.
Plus the name neighbors say was on the badge did not match any Census employee.
"The way the lady looked and presented herself wasn't right," the neighbor says.
Census officials tell us you can always check with the census online or by phone to make sure your area is actually being surveyed, but not everyone knows that's what they should do.
"I think most people would've just seen it as a fluke and let it go," One resident says.
They're hoping to protect others who might not be as lucky next time.
"You never know, are they taking inventory of people to rob you later or take advantage of someone in your community?"
"When something like this happens, you're concerned, you don't know what's going to happen," the neighbor says.
So how do you know if a Census visit is real or not? The Census Bureau says they will never ask for personal information, like Social Security numbers, Medicare information, credit card information or bank accounts.
They should have a white badge with the Census seal and an expiration date on it.
They should also give you an official letter explaining their visit and be able to tell you who their supervisor is if you ask.
If you ever want to double-check, you can call 1-800-865-6384 on your screen or visit their website at http://www.census.gov/survey_participants/.
If you have a suspicious visit, you should contact police and the Census Bureau to file a report.

I spent months farming my human Paladin's Lightforge on and off, and it was a pain (I actually managed to get the Baron's Deathcgarger before he dropped her Lightforge pants, lol) all with the idea of using it to one day make a figureprint with it on. I just finished the questline upgrading it to Soulforge (purple and silver armor ftw) and now I just need a matching weapon and I'll be ready to make my figureprint!

First of all, allow me to introduce myself:
I am Indre, 18 year old Lithuanian girl, living in the UK.
Just like many others, I've been unhappy with my nose for years. I had the amazing opportunity to find out what it's like to be bullied, hated, laughed at, as well as experience depression, insecurity and anxiety, and plenty of other lovely things associated with unhappiness of your own looks. I first noticed my nose at the age of 12, when the bump started forming. Although I was quite clueless about why or what I was doing, I started turning my head sideways, using high exposure to make my face look smooth and hide the nose all together. It completely destroyed any of the confidence I had, made me lock myself in in my room for days and sit there devoid of any contact, except for the virtual one. It was bad enough to lead me to suicide thoughts and even attempts. At the age of 16, I first had the idea of getting rhinoplasty done, but seeing as I was quite young, it didn't become anything more than an idea.
But here I am, two years later, full of doubts, as well as determination. Well, kind of.
I went back to Lithuania and will see a surgeon here. Seeing that the amount of reviews is nothing compared to ones American/English/etc. doctors get, I am a bit uneasy, but my consultation is on 22nd of May, so I have gathered plenty of advice, specifically from this site, which I intend to use. I've prepared lots of questions to ask as well as things I should look out for.
So, more about my "little" problem... I have a medium-sized bump, I can sometimes even feel pressure on it... scary! My biggest dislike is definitely my profile view, as it makes me look angry, which tends to scare people off. I'm not entirely sure if I am dreaming, but it seems that my tip droops slightly when I smile. Also, my nose is quite long, and that creates a very neat effect of it hanging low when I bow my head even slightly.:)
I am not seeking perfection, whatsoever, any result would probably be better than what I have now. Generally I am thinking of getting the bump removed, nose shortened, and perhaps see what could be done about the tip. Those are my rough guidelines. I have yet to see what I can really expect, during the consultation. So far so good haha.
I have put a lot of effort into researching this subject, so I know what fun times are ahead of me if I do go with it. I have Summer holiday, so I suppose I will be safely laying on bed and enjoying the weird experience.
Well, anyway. I believe I will update this review after my initial consultation, perhaps before the surgery, heh, we'll see!
Thank you for taking your time to read whatever the heck I just wrote here. I am open to any advice, suggestions, comments, questions, anything! I'll attach my "before" photos, which I had taken for this matter.
Good luck everyone!(:


text: I'm going back to college this week, and I'm going to have to buy most of my own food(I will have a meal plan with the college, but it only allows for like 2-3 meals/day and the food sort of sucks). I'm going to be eating healthy, but I also need to conserve my spending as much as possible. So, I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on food shopping for cheap but healthy foods. Like, would I be better off buying fresh or pre-packaged food, etc.? Thanks.

The University of Maryland has established a foundation in honor of Justin DeSha-Overcash, a physics and astronomy double major .
The Justin DeSha-Overcash Summer Research Award will provide funds to out-of-state undergraduate students "eager to pursue research opportunities and explore a world of possibilities," said a letter written by Saswata Hier-Majumder and Elizabeth Warner, two faculty members who worked with DeSha-Overcash during his time at the university.
DeSha-Overcash was renowned among friends and coworkers for his work ethic, which enabled him to hold down multiple jobs at a time in order to pay his way through school. At the time of his death, DeSha-Overcash worked both as a tutor for athletes and as an undergraduate staff member at the UMd. Obvervatory. Financing his studies was a neverending challenge for DeSha-Overcash, and Hier-Majumder and Warner hope that the fund will ease the burden for other students in similar positions.
"It is our hope that this award will allow a student to stay at Maryland to conduct research that he or she is genuinely interested in rather than be forced to take
a job that simply pays the bills," the letter said.
Checks can be made payable to The University of Maryland College Park Foundation (UMCPF) with a memo line designating the gift to the Justin DeSha-Overcash Award. Donations may also be made online here -- just search "Overcash" and follow the links.
Anyone with questions can contact Lawrence Liff at (301) 405-1082 or email@example.com.

dear @keltiecolleen…
I don't know if you got my reply back to it, but I wanted you to know that I got your email on January 15, 2012 - "Why are you giving up? I told you not to!"
There's no way you have foreseen it, but your email came at the most perfect and critical moment that morning. I was ready to end it all and I wanted, needed just one person to tell me not to give up, that it wasn't worth it and that something better was on the horizon.
Then your email came.
Even if you never see this, I just want to thank you for saving my life and giving me hope where there was only darkness.
