Some of my favorite books!!! I was always like to check them out in the book store when they are so new!! Not worn out as mine… they smell so good and I wonder who would buy it… always a safe place to relax, yeah the book store :)
I was at the mall doing some holiday shopping, but as always I never get enough of the book stores… too bad most of the books are in Spanish (perks of being the Native language) and also that we won't get all books as they are out in the US or other countries! :(
Thank god for ebooks until the paperback gets here!!

New bikes
22 September 2010 08:59
Suzuki has released a single official illustration of the new GSR750 a stylish naked middleweight that will be seen in finished form in just three weeks.
Suzuki are remaining tight-lipped about the bike¹s technical details, but factory insiders told MCN the all-new bike has a detuned engine from the GSX-R750 sportsbike but uses cheaper suspension and chassis components. The price is likely to be around £6750.
The GSR750 enters a middleweight class which has recently seen a glut of new bikes, including the Yamaha FZ8, Kawasaki Z750R, Ducati Monster 796, Ducati Hypermotard 796 along with older bikes such as the BMW F800R, Aprilia Shiver 750 and of course the class-leading Triumph Street Triple 675.
After years of the middleweight naked class dwindling in the UK, it seems all the manufacturers now want a slice of the sales. This follows the pattern in Europe where the Kawasaki Z750 and Ducati Monster have regularly topped the best-sellers lists. The Z750, for example, sold more in France last year than all the UK Fireblades and GSX-R1000s combined.
Read the full story in this week's MCN, on sale Wednesday 22 September 2010.

I think all they had too do was slightly facelift the design of an existing GSR600, add 750 motor and better suspension. The 600 has beautiful lines, expensive looking swingarm, 4 piston callipers. This thing in the sketch however is appalling. Crap suspension components, ugly frame, transformer design. I like suzukis, but this is a real dissapointment.

what has happened to japanese sytling over the last couple of years? all of the originality and good looks seem to have gone out of the window. i echo the comments that it looks like a cb1000r, which is hardly a bad thing, but also not likely to light your fire. save up for something italian, like i did.

I've read a few interesting comments made about this new Suzuki Gsr 750,stating it looks like the Honda CB 1000.
I have to say that,like the car industry,where Clios' look like Corsas' Fiestas' look like Puntas' i'm not surprised the bike industry is starting to go this route also.
Yes,its been known for years the Japanese take a design and RE-JIG-IT to say it was their idea in the first place.Plagiarism!!!
I would say the new Gsr 750 looks a little too much like the Kawsaki z 750 myself!The seat, headlight,front end stance,with a splash of new RE-JIGGED plastics (just so as too make things look not too suspiciously alike),says Z750.Also,i know its supposed too be a budget bike but jeez,steel swingarm,two piston calipers,crap suspension,i mean,what's the point?
Surely by now four piston calipers can be fitted too budget bikes without breaking the bank as well as an ally swingarm?In this day and age of making every penny count,nearly £6000 for a budget bike is taking the proverbial.Remember the Bandit series,even the 650 has four piston calipers now and gives the impresion you,re getting your monies worth and yes,this is a mid budget bike also.COME ON THE BKE MANUFACTURERS,GIVE THE BUYERS A BUDGET BIKE THAT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE ITS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IT IS.jUST LOOK AT APRILIA SHIVER.

the japanese copying the japanese? That looks like a cb1000r meets r6 tail meets fazer exhaust meets horrible frame

That's great. Best of luck
Hi Julie, well done on starting - the first step is always the hardest.
There are lots of different beginner's plans to choose from. On this site there are a some training plans to follow - click on the red 'Training' tab at the top of the page and then find the beginners plans. A really popular and successful plan is the C25K which stands for Couch to 5k. It's a progressive walk/run progamme and is very easy to follow. There are several versions available online - just google c25k - the NHS do one. For the basic plan you don't need to pay anything but some people like to download an app for a few quid. Good luck and I look forward to reading that you've completed your first 5k in 12 weeks or so
Parkrun is an excellent idea Sinbad - you don't have to socialise with anyone if you don't want to. Just go to the website, register and print off your personal barcode then turn up at any parkrun you fancy. If you want to chat and people seem friendly then chat - and if you don't want to chat then just loiter and don't chat. Lots of people just stand around waiting for the start without talking to anyone.
Open water swimming Soupy - you're brrrrrraver than me I love swimming but have never braved a lake or river yet.
Hope you enjoyed the wedding BWF, I know what you mean about getting bored as the evening wears on - it's usually just about the time everyone is really sozzled and suddenly thinks they're really entertaining and funny....
I was tempted to do a local off road 10k this morning but in my heart I know I need complete rest or I'll go back downhill again. I've felt like I've been teetering on the edge of proper clinical fatigue all this week again so it would be beyond stupid to do a 10k the second I feel I've got a tiny bit of energy back.
My friend has spent the past two days running in the Ultra Trail- Mount Fuji in Japan. I've been watching the live camera feed and following his progress on the tracking system. He didn't make it to the end as he was timed at at Check Point 9 but he still did almost 80 miles with some brutal ascents - the last one was a 2000 metre climb . Following it for 2 days has given me such itchy feet but I must be sensible......................
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday - I was about to take the dogs for a walk in the woods and find the rope swing someone told me has been put up there but i't just about to pour down with rain again so I might leave it a bit.
Funny that BWF, Allen Carr said the same in his give up smoking book - I didn't give up smoking for ages and never finished the book either. Did it on my own in the end - about 18 months fag free now
Glad to say I'm feeling a bit better today, still full of snot and no energy but not unwell
Hope everyone else is feeling good today
Hi Dongato and good luck Sounds to me like you're well on the way to kicking the habit.
Hello Crazziefeet, nice to meet you too.
I've been really unwell again since last week, on the mend a bit now but still feeling a bit rough and wiped out so no running since last Tuesday. It's normal to get a bit of a cold or bug after a long run or lots of training but unfortunately when I get it I tend to get it bad due to the crohns wiping out my immune system Hopefully I'll be better by the weekend and can get a run in at last.
I've won a runner up prize in a competition with Extreme Energy - the people who organise the Pilgrims Challenge that I ran with HT. First prize was a free entry into the Pony Express - another 2 day 60 miler. I didn't get that but I've got a runner up prize instead - don't know what it is yet - how exciting
Hope everyone's ok

Rupert Murdoch is launching a global war on Google.
Hostilities commence in March. The prize is global Internet video search and with it the next generation of online advertising revenue.
Murdoch's main weapon is his new video search engine, Hulu.
Video is the next major form of online content. Video streams overtook search queries in the US market at the end of 2007. Research company Forrester predicts that US online video ad spending will rocket to $7.1 billion by 2012.
Text as an online medium is already dominated by Google: their search engine is the main gatekeeper to finding all text content, such as newspaper articles, while Google's AdWords / AdSense advertising platform has created an incredibly profitable revenue stream that has mainly bypassed the content owners.
However, video search is still at an early stage of its development, as is online video advertising. Murdoch and his Hulu partners can see the opportunity to both defend themselves from Google, by building up Hulu as a distributor of their own content, and also to attack Google, by launching Hulu as a video search engine before Google has a stranglehold over that area of search, too.
Hulu? Who knew?
Yes, Hulu. The News Corp / NBCU video distribution network that matches major video content owners – their own studios and networks, plus third-parties (Warner Bros is poised to sign up) – with distribution owners, such as AOL and Yahoo! So how is it about to attack Google?
Kevin McGurn, VP national sales at Hulu, made the official declaration of war on Wednesday February 12, 2008 (emphases added):
"And while the end game may be to push traffic to NBC Universal's, News Corp. and their various partners' content, McGurn said Hulu is in the process of indexing all video content on the Internet, with the goal of providing links to video content that isn't licensed to play on Hulu, including programming from rival CBS, which has distribution deals with competing video aggregators such as Veoh.
"[Hulu] wants to become the Google of online video. In fact, [McGurn] noted that the design of Hulu – stark and minimalist – is more akin to Google's interface than the cluttered, portal-like designs popular on other video aggregation sites.
"But McGurn said Hulu's site is but one entry point for users, and that the real goal of the venture is to 'give users a curated environment' to find, watch and manage online video content wherever it comes from, or wherever it is. Among other places, he said that might be on embedded video players located on a user's own page."
McGurn was speaking at the Next Gen Video seminar hosted by Media Contacts, the digital media unit of ad giant Havas, where "top executives of the major networks and online video portals [Hulu, Veoh, Heavy] debated the status of the business overall." All quotes are from the coverage by MediaPost editor Joe Mandese.
Video – where the big bucks are
Making online text searchable and then building an advertising platform on top of the search engine has transformed Google into one of wealthiest and most powerful corporations ever. However, as Wall Street analysts continually observe, it's also a one-trick pony. None of the many new businesses that Google has incubated from within (news, maps, shopping, Orkut) has yet significantly contributed to the bottom line. Neither has its purchases, such as YouTube. Take away the AdWords / AdSense platform and Google would be broke.
The Internet has reached a stage in its development where video is poised to become the future of Internet content. We argue this more fully in our new report 2008: The Birth of Online TV, but briefly:
• Most online households have broadband capable of receiving watchable quality video
• Broadcasters and other professional sources are making more video available
• Video aggregators such as YouTube as making video easier to find and search
• Audience aggregators, such as MySpace and Bebo, are connecting video with communities of potential viewers
• Technical platforms and distributors, such as Brightcove and Joost, are providing solutions to links in the chain from content owner to viewer
In fact, the moment at which video became the dominant force online may have just happened. According to online analytics company comScore, December 2007 was the month when video viewing overtook searches.
"US Internet users watched more than 10 billion videos online during the month, representing the single heaviest month for online video consumption since comScore initiated its tracking service." The same month, "Americans conducted 9.6 billion searches at the core search engines." (comScore press releases Feb 8 and Jan 23.)
Google sites were by far the biggest source of video views, taking 32.6%, with Murdoch's Fox Interactive Media (which includes MySpaceTV) a distant second with only 3.5% of views.
And search itself is now the main means for online users to find videos, rather than through recommendations from friends via social networking sites such as MySpace.
"Search has become the predominant method to find video," said Bill Tancer, global head of research at Hitwise. "People are now looking for the videos in search. It's gone from serendipitously finding videos or someone forwarding it to you, to actively going out and searching for it" (via Daisy Whitney at TV Week).
So the challenge is for Google to extend its dominance of text search and advertising into video search and advertising. Murdoch and his allies urgently need to enable more Internet users to find their video if they want any of the $7.1 billion ad revenue that Forrester is predicting for 2012.
The major networks claim that there's still everything to play for. Also speaking at the Next Gen Video seminar was CBS Interactive EVP Patrick Keane who says "the video market of 2008 'feels like search did in 2002.' That is, it's still in a 'primordial' stage."
Just as Google toppled its text search competitors, such as Yahoo! and AltaVista, could a well-funded and determined new entrant – supported by major content owners – do the same in video?
Everyone hates Google
An anti-Google coalition in online video is entirely reasonable from a video content owner's point of view. Google disdains copyright and is a massively well-funded competitor that is variously "disrupting" (destroying) or competing with or gaining entry into other companies' businesses. From its dominant position as the major pay-per-click text advertising operator, it is now looking to muscle into other markets. Television advertising, for instance:
Google launches online video ads (via AdWords / AdSense)
Google to compete with TV channels for big brand advertising
Media incumbents already understand how Google has the potential to open up new revenue sources and act as a catalyst in destroying existing ones by competing for ad revenue. Ask anyone in the newspaper industry. Ask News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Times and The New York Post.
Incumbents see Google as an alien invader. Video content owners that have not yet signed up with Hulu are likely to do so because it follows the established rules and Murdoch is "someone we can do business with" (Margaret Thatcher on Mikhail Gorbachev).
Hulu the distributor
Before we analyse Hulu as a Google video killer in the making, let's take stock of its current state of development. With the roll-out of its beta test in late October 2007, Hulu announced that:
"It has signed licensing deals with MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television... over 40 television shows from Sony will be made available at Hulu.com, [and] full-length television shows and feature films from MGM.
"Hulu will also offer content from two leading broadcast networks (Fox and NBC), over 15 cable networks (Bravo, E! Entertainment, FX, Sci Fi, USA, and more), four of the largest studios (Fox, MGM, Sony and Universal) and a broad array of independent, web-centric content providers."
More content is likely to arrive in forthcoming deals with Time Warner and Viacom.
Distribution partners include AOL, Comcast's Fancast.com, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo!
Advertisers include Cadbury-Schweppes, Cisco, Esurance, Intel, GM and Royal Carribean.
And although Hulu.com is still in beta and adding features on a regular basis (the latest is trialling HD quality video – see the blog), the platform has been already running the MySpaceTV Primetime service since mid-December 2007.
And as well as all those content and distribution deals, it has plenty of funding to start the war – and not only from the founders. "Hulu also announced it has closed a $100 million investment from private equity firm Providence Equity Partners, the leading global private equity firm specializing in media, entertainment, communications and information companies."
As a distribution platform alone, Hulu looks like – and has been criticised as – no more than mainstream entertainment and media companies getting together to squeeze as much additional revenue as they can from their existing businesses. There are no copyright violations of course and the system already blocks users from viewing video if they're not in an approved region (eg UK users cannot see much of the video, which appears to be for US users only).
There's nothing inherently wrong with any of this, but nothing particularly innovative or disruptive either. It fails to meet the more radical challenge of Google and YouTube, that are aiming to make video search and discovery available globally and for free.
But a Hulu search engine could be a very different proposition...
Hulu the search engine
Here is how Hulu itself describes their targets for a search service (from the About Hulu Engineering page, with emphases added):
"Hulu, at its heart, is a tech company trying to tackle a big problem – how do we give the world premium video content, when, where, and how they want it? We are... trying to solve a variety of challenging technical problems in a relatively unexplored problem space – internet video. Hulu has access to some of the best video content out there, and we're trying to figure out how to best help people find and enjoy that content."
"We are trying to solve a whole series of interesting problems in the content management, video advertising, and content distribution spaces. Here's a short list:
• Develop breakthrough search technologies
• Process, analyze, and correct huge amounts of video data and metadata
• Design new ways for interacting with video
• Invent new algorithms for video recommendations
• Design cutting-edge user interfaces for the web
• Mine vast amounts of user data"
No lack of ambition here – this is exactly the technical development required for what McGurn described:
• Become the Google of online video
• Indexing all video content on the Internet
• Goal of providing links to video content that isn't licensed to play on Hulu
And if it weren't already clear enough that Google is the target, McGurn even takes a sideswipe at YouTube: "The design of Hulu – stark and minimalist – is more akin to Google's interface than the cluttered, portal-like designs popular on other video aggregation sites."
Here are more details from a January 2008 Techcrunch interview with Hulu CTO Eric Feng, who joined with a complete technical team when Hulu acquired the Mojiti, a Chinese video indexing startup. (Emphases added.)
Hulu is not only a place to view Hulu-hosted video but one to find video hosted elsewhere on the net; the service actually scrapes ABC's websites so that it can provide deep links to that network's content.
Hulu's private beta has been a technical one... improving the user interface (search has been enhanced in particular).
The company is experimenting with different forms of advertising, including overlay ads and trailers for movies.
Hulu actually has a blacklist of sites where people can't embed videos. These are mainly sites that host content, such as pornography, that content providers don't want their content displayed alongside. In general, Hulu can monitor where people embed its videos, and it withholds the right to deactivate any embeds. That said, it strongly supports the syndication of its content across the web.
Hulu is working on providing its videos internationally but content rights issues will take time to work through.
The public launch should come probably around the end of March.
It's the data, stupid
But even with Hulu taking aim square at video search, how can it compete with Google? The Google search engine already indexes some third-party video aggregators – as well as its own YouTube and the unsuccessful Google Video service – and presents video thumbnails in its universal search results.
The competitive advantage for Hulu is the data it can access. What are usually called video search engines still mainly rely on searching text data about an associated video.
Where does the data come from? Says Google: "Advanced spidering technology analyzes the text on the page adjacent to the video, the video caption, and dozens of other factors to determine the video content." (Video closed captioning is the system that adds optional text to television shows for deaf viewers.)
Many of these are effectively workarounds, methods of inferring what a video contains, and so liable to error. How much more effective would a video search engine be that can access canonical information about the video that it is indexing?
A Hulu search engine can build an internal database – call it the Hulubase – from official sources of information. Authoritative cast lists, episode synopses, press releases and much more can be provided by the content owners directly to Hulu (and that's consumer-facing data – we're not even getting into the level of data available to someone that owns the master copy of a video tape).
Add to that the penumbra of additional relevant text content, such as movie and television reviews from New Corp's international newspaper titles.
It's very much in the interests of the partners to provide the data: the better Hulu delivers up search results, the more likely prospective online viewers are to find what they want and either watch the ads or (eventually) pay for an ad-free version.
And what's more, the Hulubase itself would ideally be an internal database, accessed only by the Hulu search engine and not available to Google.
The nearest equivalent that Google has is the information officially supplied to YouTube from its content partners, plus all the tagging done for free by YouTubers uploading content without the owners' permission. It's a big chunk of data, but Hulu can count on quality over quantity and quality trumps quantity in delivering the best search results, at least for the video supplied to Hulu by its partners.
And New Corp has considerable experience in running broadcast digital television platforms. Its BSkyB service is the dominant pay-TV operator in the UK, having seen off massively well-funded competition from satellite rival BSB in the early 1990s and reduced the entire cable industry to one big pipe for its channel packages.
That gives Hulu, via BSkyB, access to deep expertise in television electronic programme guides (EPGs) that will be invaluable in porting a Hulu-type service onto other distribution outlets, such as IPTV.
Hulu as a brand
Hulu is with the name that the Wall Street analysts all made fun of when it was launched. But that same name that sounds friendly and funny and memorable and easy to spell and ready-made for consumer marketing. (How do you say and spell "Blinkx"?)
In the UK, the brand name "Sky" is synonymous with multi-channel television. For many millions of British viewers, Sky is television. BBC research has discovered that the brand is so dominant that when they ask soap fans where they see the BBC's top soap, Eastenders, a very common reply is "I see it on Sky" even when the viewers are actually watching it on the BBC1 channel (delivered by the Sky satellite service).
As we enter an era when channel brands are dying – viewers only care about shows – the brand that can imprint itself on the mind of viewers as the place to find a show is the brand that wins.
Sky have done this in the UK. News Corp will make Hulu the first name you think of when you want video search, discovery and recommendation.
Murdoch vs Google – global war
Hulu is already taking a territory-based approach that currently excludes non-US Internet users from seeing the actual video (though they can still access the site). As Feng has pointed out, the international rights will take time to sort out. However, this is essentially an administrative formality and the negotiations can be based on existing broadcast television rights deals, such as those that Sky has to broadcast US shows in the UK.
One of the massive advantages that News Corp enjoys is that, unlike Google and most US-based media and entertainment companies, it is inherently global. Being international is in its corporate DNA. Launching a global video search service is a concept that the whole corporation and its shareholders will be entirely comfortable with, particularly with $100m of someone else's money behind it.
It is also aggressive and future-focused. James Murdoch, chief executive of News Corp Europe and Asia, described this attitude as it manifests itself in BSKyB. "I'd like to think we do the future well. It's cultural. For us management teams the key thing is... to make bets that create exposure to emerging waves.
"For example, we made a bet that people would consume more bandwidth and would want high definition [television] and that wave is now driving forward a new broadband business for us. You have to be willing to orient your whole business to those trends, have a bigger appetite for risk, a willingness to fail and an appetite for bringing change."
News Corp is a major presence in all the largest Anglophone nations. Rolling out Hulu into the UK and Australia – and of course to the millions who speaking English as a second language – will be well-supported by News Corp media outlets.
After that, China is a tempting target, despite Murdoch's previous difficulties in launching television services there (see this Economist review of the new book Rupert's Adventures in China). The combination of Wendi Deng, Rupert Murdoch's Chinese-born wife and Yale University MBA who currently runs MySpace China, and the Hulu technical team, many of whom are ex-Mojiti staff and remain based in Beijing, could well pave the way for a Chinese language video search service. Note also that Google has not done well so far in the Chinese market and remains vulnerable there to a determined competitor aiming only at video search and willing to cut deals with the Chiinese government.
And in Chinese, "Hulu" can mean either "interactive recording" (Hu + Lu) or a Chinese gourd that holds precious things.
The onset of hostilities
Hulu is due to come out of beta later in March. And CEO Jason Kilar is lined up to deliver a keynote speech at the high-profile National Association of Broadcasters trade show on April 16.
So, Hulu vs Google – who's the winner? Comment below....

Australia vs. Apple: Take two on e-book price fixing
Australia's consumer and competition watchdog is mulling a move to sue Apple, as it seeks complaints from e-book sellers in light of the U.S. Justice Dept.'s antitrust move.
Zack Whittaker reports on the latest technology news from the United Kingdom and Europe, served with buttered crumpets and a side of sarcasm.

Australia's consumer and competition watchdog is mulling a move to sue Apple, as it seeks complaints from e-book sellers in light of the U.S. Justice Dept.'s antitrust move.
Hackers have apparently accessed and recorded anti-terror calls and posted the contents online. A UK police investigation is under way.
With Amazon exporting its sales operations outside the UK to avoid paying hefty corporation taxes, both Apple and Google have suffered similar accusations.
Google has responded in a letter to France's data protection agency over claims it broke EU law with its new privacy policy, plus a few harsh words from the Dutch privacy chief.
British broadcaster Sky News, part owned by Rupert Murdoch's media empire, says it hacked into criminals' email accounts to "serve the public interest".
Amazon is under "examination" by UK tax authorities, amongst others, according to a U.S. SEC filing. Claims made suggest the retail giant 'avoids' paying corporate tax in the UK.
The European Parliament is proposing news laws that would harmonise cyber-criminal penalties from two years in prison, to in some cases five years in the slammer.
Apple, along with two other major international publishers, may avoid settling in a "cartel" e-book fixing antitrust investigation, while others seek a faster resolution.
Despite Google being only 13 years old, one developer sought to recreate how it might have looked in the 1980's, along with a mockup of Twitter and Angry Birds.
Skype is to hire 400 people between London and Stockholm, as the Microsoft-owned company seeks to expand its presence in the UK and Europe.

Ingredients for 1:1 Prototype of Tower No.1
We plan to build a life size prototype of the 1st tower in the current design for the playground ensemble (above right). Luckily a group of carpenters from Australia arrived on our doorstep this week, willing to give us a helping hand.
The design consists of 4 log posts forming a pyramid, providing a strong structure to hold a square platform 2m off the ground.

Belly Tuck Details
Abdominoplasty, also called Abdominoplasty, is an operation that is developed to remove excess skin and fat from the mid and lower abdomen and at the exact same time, tightening up the stomach muscles. Unlike liposuction surgery which simply gets rid of fat, this operation takes care of all 3 tissue elements of a protruding abdominal areas: skin, fat, and muscle. For this reason, it is more considerable than liposuction. The very best candidates are those in relatively good condition however are troubled by a huge fat deposit, excess abdominal skin, and loose muscles that will not respond to diet plan or workout. The surgical treatment is specifically practical to women who have extended their stomach muscles and skin beyond the point where they can go back to regular after pregnancy. Since the excess sagging and stretch-marked skin is removed, there is also improvement in skin quality. The total outcome is a flatter, smoother, tighter mid-section.
During your consultation, we will talk about with you your desires and expectations regarding your body improvement. Dr. Truong will evaluate your total medical condition and go over with you the nature of the procedures offered in addition to the threats and possible complications. Once you are considered a good prospect for a abdominoplasty, Dr. Truong will work with you and together you will customize an operation to that will be particularly suitable for your body and your expectations.
Description of Procedure
Abdominoplasty surgical treatment is carried out under basic anesthesia at a recognized cutting edge surgical treatment center. Prior to your surgery, the amount of skin that is to be eliminated is thoroughly marked. After you are asleep, a laceration is made in the swimwear line. The excess skin and fat in between this laceration and the belly button is removed according to the marked design. The stomach muscles are then tightened up, forming an internal "corset" which creates a firmer curve and well-defined waistline. The upper abdominal skin is then pulled downward and inward to re-drape the recently flattened abdominal shape. The incision is very carefully closed with several layers of stitch. In many cases, the belly button will have an incision around it in a round fashion due to the fact that it is re-positioned on the newly re-draped skin to finish the stomach renewal. In some cases, a temporary drain is left in place to eliminate excess fluid and enable better healing.
In select cases, conservative liposuction can be performed in conjunction with the abdominoplasty. This is usually done in the upper stomach and flank locations to better define those locations and compliment the belly tuck for much more dramatic results.
The surgical treatment lasts anywhere from 2 to four hours, depending upon the quantity of cells to be eliminated. For the huge bulk healthy clients, the treatment is considered an outpatient procedure and you will generally have the ability to go home within a few hours after your surgical treatment.
Mini-Tummy Tuck is a choice for a select group of clients who are close to their perfect body weight however have a small bulge of excess skin below the belly button that does not reply to work out. It differs from the full belly tuck because the incision is shorter and there is no scar around the belly button due to the fact that it does not should be repositioned. Mini-Tummy Tuck can be performed in conjunction with liposculpture to additional refine the stomach curve.
Recuperation Procedure
Following surgery, a compressive girdle is worn for a couple of weeks. Drains might be kept in place for approximately one week to help prevent the buildup of fluid. There could be substantial discomfort for numerous days following surgery which is efficiently regulated with dental discomfort medicine. A lot of clients return to limited activity like walking in 1 to 3 days, and are back to normal task within a month. However, it might take six months to a year for the body to completely adapt to the recently tightened abdomen. Patients should understand that the blemish is a needed part of the procedure which the mark will continue to change and fade gradually, depending upon the patient's own wound-healing tendencies. Because the stomach muscles are tightened up surgically, you will not should, and in fact are prevented from, doing sit-ups for up to a year. With correct diet and work out the striking outcomes of the surgical treatment can last a lifetime.

Thomas Brucia 10+Jun 12 2012: I try to read a book a week, but sometimes end up taking such detailed notes and look up so many technical details I fall short. Also I often re-read books with a yellow notepad at my side (chuckle: guess it's obvious I'm mostly into non-fiction, huh.). I'd guess that in the last 12 months: 30-40 books; since January 1st, perhaps 15-20. It's hard to pin down which have been the best, since I tend to be selective.... Biggest 'discovery' was Charles Dickens, who I always thought of as 'the guy who wrote about Scrooge'. He's even better than Wilkie Collins! In the non-fiction arena, my most recent (and a fantastic) read was Barbara Tuchman's history of the first month of World War One: "The Guns of August". That one had me scouring the net for maps and looking up biographies and orders of battle on Wikipedia. I'm now re-reading Eric Newby's autobiographical tale about his 1938 trip round the world on one of the last commercial sailing ships. He was 18. The book: "The Last Grain Race". So many books... so little time.

Foxes had a pretty big year (her Zedd collab "Clarity" was absolutely ubiquitous and "Youth" is one of the best tracks of '13), and she's gearing up for (hopefully!) an even bigger one with her upcoming LP Glorious, dropping March 3. In anticipation, she's released a new promo single from her debut album — "Holding Onto Heaven," penned with her frequent co-writer Jonny Harris and produced by Toby Gad (he did Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy," if that's any indication).
It's not quite as colossal as either "Clarity" or "Youth," but it still follows a quality formula: Twinkly synths lead into a chorus that crashes and soars, with big choir vocals; "Heaven" has a nice, stampeding quality that makes it compulsively replayable.

You'll never read this sir.
I never forgot you. We both changed. But I never forgot you.
Remember running in the rain? Remember watching that concert? Playing my song you wrote on your guitar? Talking on the phone for six hours? Sharing music in the movie theater?
It was great to talk to you once again. Though it has been a while now. Seeing your name light up on my phone screen for the first time in years roused a funny feeling in my stomach. Do I want you? No. But I do miss you. Or rather. The old you. See you were once my bestfriend. For almost five months. You were my bestfriend. It's crazy to think about this. We were so young. But what can I say. I am weird. And once someone walks in my life. I never forget them. I have a good memory. It's a blessing and a curse. I'm sorry you aren't happy. I wish you were. But it is true when they say "You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness." I hope you are happy by now. And I hope you have found someone to make you happy. I have. I do not like you. But I once loved you. As much as I knew how to at that age. I hadn't thought about you in a long time. But when I saw your name on my computer screen, I had to say hello. Don't think I miss you because you were my first love, because I got over that, and I loved others. I miss you because you were such a close bestfriend and overnight you went out of the picture. I am sorry if I ever did anything wrong. I am sorry for this post. I hope you never read it, but in a way I do. I'm such a creep.
I am cliché in many ways. I love photography, art, and music. Those damn zombie video games distract me more than I'd like to admit. I wish certain people would look my way sometimes. I love calls compared to texts. I smile like a fool when called beautiful. I day dream more than I should. I want to inspire people. Cheesy stuff makes me smile. I love my bestfriend. I have secrets. Don't we all? Insecure. But I don't like to admit it. I dance and sing when alone. I get lost in my music. I am me though, and although I am still trying to figure out who the hell that is. Little by little. I am learning not to care about the unimportant things, and love the things that matter. Maybe no one will read this. But I said it. Everyone else is taken all that's left is to be yourself. I'm glad because I am an original. I am me. It's who I'll always be. Until the day I die.

"Music in the Library" series honors alumnus and CD donor
Eight talented musicians, including five current and former faculty and staff members, perform music from the Renaissance to the present
10/14/04Today, eight talented singers and musicians will perform in the "Music in the Library" series in honor of Robert Seifert, who graduated in 1951. Seifert donated several hundred CDs to the library over the past year, nearly doubling its collection. The program, titled "Something Old, Something New," features music from the Renaissance to the present.
The series was created last spring when the library acquired a harpsichord. Betty Porter, assistant director for education services and a flutist in the octet, says the purpose of the series is to "celebrate that the library is a source of information for many diverse disciplines, including the arts."
Other performers include faculty members Tom Sherwood singing bass, Tod Leavitt on string bass and Chris Wilke on lute. Helmut Roehrig, a retired member of the department of music, will play the harpsichord. Faculty members of the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music round out the group and include Trio Jeng singing soprano, Amy Dennison playing oboe and Margaret Cheatham on clarinet.
The recital begins at 1:30 p.m. in the first floor garden area of the library. For more information on this event, please contact Betty Porter at 4830.

With training camp right around the corner, DallasCowboys.com is taking a look at the outlook of each position group in a 10-part series, continuing today with the offensive line.
Top of the chart:
He's the obvious choice here. He's almost the only choice here. Really, there's not another spot on this line where a player can be guaranteed to start Week 1. Smith moved from the right side to the left last season, and growing pains are going to come for any then-21-year-old player making that switch. The struggles at other spots of the line certainly outweighed his, though.
Another year of experience and an offseason of strength and conditioning should help Smith out more than the other linemen. It wouldn't be surprising to see him take a noticeable leap in production this year. The guards right now are both still dealing with injuries before the season,
Need to see more:
Across The Line
There really isn't a single spot to single out that the Cowboys don't need more from.
If I had to pick one spot to see more from, I'd go with Free. There was a reason the Cowboys once paid him the way they did, before he was forced to accept a pay cut heading into this season. The Cowboys would have just cut him if they thought he couldn't play the position. They clearly still see upside, and even with the heavily reduced contract number, Free needs to demonstrate that he can suffice at the spot to earn a starting job.
Still need to know …
Travis Frederick
Obviously, there are lots of things we still need to know about the line. From left to right, there are plenty of question marks but let's focus now on the middle. The Cowboys drafted the rookie from Wisconsin in the first round, giving us all the assumption he will be ready to take over at center when the season begins. Phil Costa's 2012 season was hard to dissect, considering he missed nearly all of the year with back and ankle injuries. But he did have a stellar performance against the eventual Super Bowl champion Ravens. Still, Frederick's draft status suggests he will be the starter – at some spot. Center is most likely but he could also swing out to guard if that proves to be a better fit for the entire offensive line.
Don't forget about …
With all the talk about Frederick and Costa, plus last year's veteran starter in

Is This The Beginning Of The End For Guest Posting?
Is This the Beginning of the End for Guest Posting?
Ah, guest posting. In the wake of Google Panda and Penguin, guest posting has emerged as the most reliable and effective way to get links from quality sites and to boost a site in the eyes of Google. In the past we would simple try and swap links with all and sundry, or we would post countless articles onto eZine Articles sure; but since those algorithm changes made it abundantly clear that Google only wanted us to build high quality links on highly relevant sites, that's no longer really viable (and eZine is a mere shadow of its former self).
Guest posting then makes a lot of sense. You write some good content, you e-mail the owner of a well-respected blog in your niche, and in exchange for your writing you get a link and better yet a testimonial from a blogger that has a large and loyal following. It's a great deal and it has served as a life-line for many an SEO in difficult times. But could all this be coming to an end? Could the paradigm be shifting once again? Early signs suggest that it may be so…
Unwanted Guests
While it may be a bit early to start writing any obituaries, it seems that there's a growing trend among bloggers to abandon their guest posting ways. Over at Pro Blogger for instance a recent update told visitors that the site would no longer be accepting guest posts because they don't tie in with their 'new strategy' (though they're quite vague on what that strategy might be). Reading between the lines it seems as though they'd rather seek out the posters they want on their site and claim that it's partly because 'it's much easier to find, connect with, and even meet other bloggers in and beyond your niche.'. You can hear it from the horse's mouth here: http://www.problogger.net/archives/2013/01/19/the-problogger-evolution-our-halt-on-guest-post-submissions/
Then there's Daily Blogging Tips where blogger Daniel Scocco has recently stated he won't be accepting guest posts for 2013 because he wants to write all the content himself. Explaining that he had had complaints from visitors who felt the site was diluted with filler when really they only came for his writing, he has decided to post a lower quantity of content but with hopefully a higher quality. Either way it will all be his work, which should strengthen the 'voice' of his site. Check it out here: http://www.dailyblogtips.com/an-experiment-no-more-guest-posts-and-a-focus-on-quality/
What Does This Mean?
So is this the beginning of the end? Or just a blip? Either way, it shows that guest posting certainly isn't a bullet proof method (nothing is) and that you shouldn't be completely reliant on just one strategy. For now though, there are still plenty (I mean plenty) of sites that do accept guest posts – and I guess pedal to the metal if you want to make sure you get onto as many of them as possible.
And what should you do if the web does start to give guest bloggers the cold shoulder? Well for one you could always take the other route and start offering your posts on your site by mentioning that you will provide guest posts. This way you're letting the bloggers come to you – though of course you're going to have to write a very high quality of post for that to work (and probably accomplish a certain amount of success as well). You could always try networking with bloggers in other ways too, be it through social media or even in person. Rather than just e-mailing people out of the blue you can this way build up a relationship with a webmaster and earn their trust – and that way you can then help each other out by sharing traffic.
Generally, to future-proof your business plan make sure you're using other strategies in your link building too: social media marketing, link baiting, creating multiple blogs and posting in forums are all still viable methods and if the guest blogging opportunities dry up you can focus more attention on those areas. Only a fool would assume the face of SEO won't change again.
The other question of course is whether those blogs are right to stop accepting guest posters – and whether or not you should follow suit. But really the question should not be about who wrote the articles, but rather whether they're high quality and fit for your site. If Daniel at Daily Blogging Tips were to only choose posts from writers who offered a similar quality and style to his own writing, and if he were to use those posts sparingly, then I'm sure he wouldn't have received the complaints.

Denver International Airport's (DEN) Deputy
Manager of Aviation, Amy Bourgeron, testified before a U.S. House
of Representatives Subcommittee Thursday, and urged Congress to
provide the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) with
sufficient monies to fund in-line installation of explosive
detection system (EDS) equipment at major airports to meet the
December 31, 2003 deadline for 100% baggage screening.
DEN officials believe the most efficient way to do this in
Denver is by integrating the large explosive detection machines
into the airport's baggage systems, rather than installing the
machines in the airport lobby. The project will cost $90 million
and take nine months to complete at DEN, but funding for the TSA to
date has not been sufficient.
DEN is urging Congress to provide the necessary
funding in a Supplemental Appropriations Bill. If sufficient
funding is not made available this year, DEN wants Congress to
provide 100% of the project funds through the Letters of Intent
(LOI) program. Congress has already given the TSA the authority to
issue LOIs to cover the costs of terminal modifications for in-line
systems, but right now, LOIs only cover 75% of the costs. Bourgeron
said, "If the terminal modification costs are imposed on airports,
it will divert funds that could otherwise be put into needed
capacity improvements. It will also cause further harm to the
already financially-strapped airline industry."
In her testimony, Bourgeron also:
DEN officials thank Colorado Congressman Bob Beauprez, for
suggesting that the airport be invited to present testimony to the

Categories > TV > Knight Rider > Oh What a Tangled Web
Chapter 100 Reviews
The plot thickens
"Calm down, Dad," said Laura. "Maybe she didn't go to see Gregory Cameron. If not, Michael could be having trouble tracking her down. And even if she did, you know how stubborn she can be. He might be having trouble persuading her to return."
He stopped pacing for a moment, considering what she'd said, then shook his head. "No, she went to see him. And you heard me tell Knight to do whatever it took to get her back here. He'd better do just that. If she talks to Cameron, all my plans and our future go right down the drain."
"What do you mean, Daddy? And why did you say she wasn't your daughter? You haven't explained that," said Shauna.
"Just you never mind. Look, I'll be in the study. I need to be alone for a while to think. If they return before I do, come and get me immediately, but don't disturb me until then."
Both sisters regarded him with a puzzled look on their faces, but agreed to do as he asked. He left the living room and seconds later they heard the study door close. They looked at each other, then Shauna shrugged and said, "I'm going up to my room. I'll see you later."
Arthur stood looking around the study as though he had never seen it before. Then he started pacing again. Think, Arthur, think. You need to do something. If Knight doesn't stop Kelly, you'll need to do some major damage control. But what?
A germ of an idea began to sprout in his brain and he stopped pacing. He found himself in front of a window, staring unseeingly out at the well-tended lawn. He began to smile, and suddenly went over to his desk and turned on his computer. He had a lot of work to do, to get it right. And he'd have to involve at least one of his daughters.
Laura, I think. She could do what I need better than Shauna, although I may be able to use her, too. And it'll work, whether Kelly is stopped or not. Let's see. . .
Two hours later, he opened the door and went back into the living room. Laura was still in there, and she was alone, reading a magazine. He beckoned to her, and she rose and followed him back into the study. He sat down at the desk and indicated that she should take the chair nearby.
"Laura, I need to call an emergency meeting of the board of directors. Most of them are in town and should be able to come. And of course you and Shauna will have to be there. But I don't think I should make the call, since they still think I'm dead. I want you to do it. I've typed up what I want you to say, and answers to any questions they might have. Schedule it for 10 AM tomorrow."
"All right, Dad," she replied, "but won't you tell me what this is about?"
"Honey, right now it's better that you and your sister don't know. Just do as I say. You'll understand everything before the day is out tomorrow."
"Okay, Dad." She reached for the phone and began making calls. Once she finished, she left the office, leaving her father to continue working.
She looked for Shauna, and found her sister sitting outside on the back patio. When she sat down by her, she saw that her sister looked troubled. "Shauna," she said, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If you're thinking that we owe Kelly a big apology, I am. Laura, we've treated her badly, and for no good reason. We didn't even try to find out why Dad treated her the way he did; we just went along with it. And she never did anything to deserve it from us."
"I know. I do too. And I just came from Dad's office. He had me call several of the board members, to tell them that there would be a board meeting tomorrow morning."
"What? Why?"
"I don't know, Shauna. I have a bad feeling about it. He's acting very strangely."
"Strangely? How?"
"He won't tell me anything. He came looking for me specifically to make the calls. And he won't explain why he's doing this. And to blow up his car and pretend he's dead - I tell you, it's as though he's become obsessed about something."
"So what do we do?"
"Well, we'll go to the meeting - since Dad is legally dead, we have to, and besides, he wants us there - and see what happens. I sure hope Kelly finds out about it, and shows up, too. Maybe we can work things out with her."
"I hope so, too. Even if we had different fathers, she's still our sister. And we have a lot to make up for."

I want this, my kitchen faucet is leaking, so you have to push it to one side to keep it from leaking...This would be a huge upgrade.
My kitchen remodel is slowly getting some movement. Having this amazing faucet would be so helpful! Love it.
A great contemporary piece!
My husband and I are days away from owning our first home and it would be so awesome to win this for our anticipated kitchen remodel... money is going to be pretty tight and so we wouldn't be able to afford a beautiful faucet like this otherwise. Thanks!
I really need something like this. I like the long neck. My current one is leaking and doesn't work well with all the big pasta pots I use.
The little pull-out sprayer on the side was rubber-banded together by the last owner. I think because that leaks too!
Super Slick!
Modern + beautiful!
Oh wow! If I win this I will need a new sink, oh, and counter tops! Thanks for the chance to win.
Hugs, Pat
Love this faucet! It would look great in our kitchen when we renovate it this summer!
This is simply gorgeous!
It's Stunning !
Beautiful! Perfect for our kitchen update. The mauve remodel craze was not kind to the
87 year old Dutch Colonial we call home. :)
Happy Holidays to All!
I'm having serious faucet envy!
So sophisticated!
this is so nice! I would always do the dishes.
A gem!!!!! Dishwasher is broken and this would be a delight.
Our current faucet leaks and needs to be replaced. Love the look.
ooh, ahh...
This piece may cause me to forget about my poor dilapidated kitchen.
this is a handsome, handsome faucet~~
I would love to win this for my parents who are in desperate need of a 34-year old kitchen renovation!
Sleek and beautiful...I love it!
Oh yeah, gorgeous.
this would be the perfect replacement for our leaky faucet.
I, too, would adore having this faucet in the kitchen of my lovingly named "gnome home" - a tiny back house in the heart of Silverlake LA that I've been entrusted to spruce up. My current faucet also leaks and I've been drooling over arced upgrades for months now.
Fingers crossed! .. :)
Love the clean and simple look. Would be perfect for our kitchen!
Very cool.
This piece could help me forget about the rest of my sad kitchen!
Oh wow...I've been wanting one of these!!
Very sleek and chic! Love!!
awesome looking great addition to any kitchen
Would make doing dishes much more tolerable. Bee-autiful
so sleek
I would use this to sink bathe my cat.
Thoroughly enjoyed the class I was able to attend with Franke. Quality products!
now that is one gorgeous faucet!
this faucet is beutiful
I would like this in our kitchen!
I refuse to wash dishes unless this faucet is in on it with me!! >.<
SO handy!!
An elegant touch to any kitchen :)
I like that the Franke faucet is what I call "classic modern" - a design so lean and un-fussy it will not appear dated over time.
Such clean design, and functional!

She has always been an easy going friendly dog, but since we have been here she is afraid to take walks and any noise she hears. It's heartbreaking to see her this way and I would like to know if there is anything that we can do to ease her fear, she is only comfortable inside the apartment complex.

2014 Veterans' Voices Month Law
Minnesota is the first state to designate an entire month to honoring Veterans. The Minnesota Humanities Center worked with Minnesota Veterans, Representative Jerry Newton (D-District 37A), Representative Bob Dettmer (R-District 39A), and Senator John A. Hoffman (D-District 36) to write a bill designating October as
Veterans' Voices Month
(HF 2812). After passing both Houses by
vote, Governor Mark Dayton signed
Veterans' Voices Month
into law on May 16, 2014. This law will not only honor and celebrate the accomplishments of Minnesota Veterans, but will also educate all Minnesotans by sharing and studying Veterans' experiences. Minnesota Veterans will be encouraged to share their stories through art, essays, and poetry in an effort to assist the public in understanding this unique military culture.
In honor of Veterans' Voices Month, the Humanities Center and the Veterans' Voices Advisory Committee have compiled a list of resources suitable for educators to use with their students.
