Dr. Robert Rothfield is committed to the belief that a plastic surgeon should be involved in every aspect of your care, from your initial consultation right up to your post-operative recovery. Dr. Rothfield personally takes care of routine treatments such as dressings, suture removal, and injections, instead of assigning these duties to others. You and Dr. Rothfield will have comprehensive discussions before your procedure so that he has a full and clear picture of your physical condition, goals, and expectations for results. These consultations are also wonderful opportunities for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have, giving you a full understanding of the procedure and what it will entail. Dr. Rothfield will give you detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions, and will personally examine you in follow-up appointments after surgery. This is evidence of his dedication to ensuring you receive the most thorough, caring, and individualized care possible, directly from an experienced and compassionate cosmetic plastic surgeon.

Each season I like her more and I'm curious if she will be able to overcome her weaknesses and maybe medal at Worlds in Tokyo next year! She seems like a very positive girl and is not afraid of the ice.

This may be the dumbest post on this forum; but, I'm stumped.
I purchased a Miller helmet last spring. (I believe it was an Elite model.)
It came with a bag. And that bag confuses the heck out of me with all the excess cord and the way it opens.
Is there some common sense way to use the bag?

Helmet Bag
If its the same bag I have, it's just a cinch bag. To open you pull out the hole and it opens the bag. To close it you grab the two ropes on each side and pull it closed. Not sure if it is the same one but it sounded like it.
Here's a posting from the weldingweb on that same topic. You are not the only one.

Glad It's Not Just Me
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the posts.
BD1, thanks for the link, too. I feel better after reading it. Besides helping me understand that I am not the "only one" trying to see the logic in the bag, it made me chuckle a little, too.
I have used the bag a few times... the thing that bugs me is that there doesn't seem to be a right, or a wrong way to place the helmet inside the bag. I've tried it right side up, upside down, across the seam, with the seam... there just didn't seem to be a place that it really fit.
I looked for information in the manual, too, like a poster on the other thread mentioned. I figured there must be something somewhere that would at least give a basic description of how it should be used (e.g. lens side of helmet face up with the helmet laying in the direction of the bottom seam).
I think I would need to be a lot better shape if I intended to start wearing that bad as a backpack. To me, that would seem like an invitation for an a**-kicking; but, I could be wrong.
I love the helmet. It was more costly than I thought was practical; but, in hindsight, I am really glad that I spent the extra dollars on it. Great purchase.
Thanks again for the replies.

There's a pocket in the bottom of the bag for the "chin" of the helmet...slip it in and cinch it up...I picked up a backpack that holds the helmet, jacket and gloves as well as tools and other crap here:

New Fancy Bag...
These are the ones that all the kids are toting these days...find a 6th grader to help you learn how it works.
The strings on each side are independent of each other. It goes in one side, around the top and back out the same way it came in. Each string does this. I hope that helps without demeaning too much;-)MillerMatic 211 Auto-set w/MVP

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Robert1 solid product w/great features I like it. you can wear it under or over your clothing good product December 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Bolts Not true to size The items says it is a large to extra large. The velco straps is bigger than the strap it adheres to causing straps to rub skin. Really need to wear something under. September 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by macatak shock doctor shockingly bad bad product and going to return it because the Velcro will not stay attached on the right side May 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tar7 The inserts make all of the difference comfortable and stable. fits easily under a shirt wore it playing golf! April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackie very well made having been in an automobile accident a few months ago, I have had ongoing pain in my lower back. As long as I stand up straight I can deal with it. However, when attempting to work around the house and in the kitchen my back becomes quite painful to the point where I need to lie down the to ease the pain. This back support lessened pain to the point whereby I could work for a considerable time while working in the kitchen. It is very comfortable to wear and I am looking forward to its use while traveling in my car or on an airplane. September 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Rek4fit The only back brace you carry This product was very expensive.Additionally the Velcro does not reach around the entire brace. Therefore I had to spend an additional $20 to have the brace altered so that the edges Would lay flat underneath my clothing. Wearing a back brace is part of my everyday life as I have had three back surgeries. I should have returned the brace before altering it as it that I spent $80. Now it is non returnable. The positive aspect of brace is that there is a small cushioned back and the brace lies flat other than afore mentioned. I am an owner of a fitness company and have tried many braces for my back. This product was cost prohibited. August 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by klein34 great product I purchased this brace to throw javelin and im so happy I did. it gives me so much support and comfort that it helps me a lot. May 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by snorkeling Very comfort, not so much support It is not like the one with steels inside, so very soft, you can still do what ever you want, almost no limitation. Very comfort. November 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob Tennis sufferers take notice! I aggravated my lower back playing tennis, and it appeared as though I was going to be out of action for a few weeks. I decided to give the Shock Doctor support a try, and it far exceeded my expectations. My injury was at the base of my lower back, so I secured the brace about half above my beltline and half below my beltline. This provided perfect support while not inhibiting any breathing, movement or creating any stomach discomfort. I anticipate wearing this brace often for tennis and any lifting jobs around the house. July 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by DctrJ Good Product Hurt lower back bad and decided to purchase this back support to encourage healing. It certainly helps keep everything aligned and prevents additional injury. I wore most of the day walking, driving and even sleeping a couple of nights when I was still in acute pain. Back injuries take a long time to heal and I believe this really sped up the healing process by preventing accidental torquing of my lower back. I'll keep wearing this when I feel a tinge of back pain for additional support. I have a 38" waist and purchased the L/XL and it works out well. It did stretch some. It also is fairly easy to use the two side panels to get support where you might need it for your specific injury/pain. Overall a good purchase! June 30, 2012

Three Calvert County residents were recently arrested in St. Mary's County and charged for various violations relating to paying for or receiving sexual favors in exchange for money and drugs.
St. Mary's County Vice/Narcotics detectives began to monitor illegal activity on the Internet and determined there was a need for further enforcement efforts, according to a St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office press release. Detectives started "Operation Risky Business," which included a prostitution operation conducted online.
Joshua Robert Fisher, 23, of Lusby was charged with prostitution — general after he allegedly paid an undercover officer for specific sex acts.
Crystal Faye Kirven, 21, of Lusby allegedly offered to perform sex acts on the undercover officer for money. She was charged with prostitution — general.
Chester Stanley Jaworski, 68, of Prince Frederick was charged with prostitution — general after he allegedly paid the undercover officer for specific sex acts.
All of the suspects agreed on a location, specific sexual acts and type of payment, the press release states. Vice/Narcotics detectives were assisted by members of the Vice/Narcotics support team, patrol deputies and K-9 officers.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 117
Here is a good video to watch and learn from!
Welcome to this great sport!
work on form and accuracy 1st.. distance will come. make every throw a routine.
Here is another link to some technical techniques and information. You may want to bookmark it for future reference as it contains an enormous amount of information that you'll want to refer back to after practicing. The information has helped me greatly understand the dynamics of the "snap".
Disc Golf Fundamentals Vol. 1 DVD - $19.99
Above is video that can be purchased in addition to the good information others posted. I own this and it is a great DVD for those who want to improve their game and for those starting out.
Two things. First X step. Second your arm should come straight through. The X step stores energy up in your stance and then when you pull straight through it releases all of that energy. You will probably get distance before control but that is OK. Control comes with time. Just avoid any circular motion with your arm and keep the disc level (don't throw up in the air).
i think jim is correct. Learn the x-step first. Find someone that is experienced to teach you the x-step and how to grip your disc.
All good advice. Just keep Practicing !!!
like backhanding a bitch across the face. keep the nose down and dont hold back

Level 42 are an English pop rock and jazz-funk band who had a number of worldwide and UK hits during the 1980s and 1990s. The band gained fame for their high-calibre musicianshipâ[][]in particular that of Mark King, whose percussive slap-bass guitar technique provided the driving groove of many of the band's hits. The band are also known for the combination of King's lead vocals and keyboard player Mike Lindup's falsetto backing vocals. Having been a very successful live and studio band in the 1980s, Level 42's commercial profile diminished during the early 1990s following a series of personnel changes and musical shifts. After disbanding in 1994, the band reformed in 2001.

MIX 94.9 is taking over the Benton Station in Sauk Rapids, again this Saturday night!
Benton Station IS the place for great "live" music in the St. Cloud area - and this week I am fired up - to see a band that I've heard a lot about, but never actually seen.

Goals: Like previous Soviet Venus missions, Venera 13 and 14 were twin pairs and flyby spacecraft. The flyby craft was designed to relay transmissions from the landers in addition to studying Venus and interplanetary space. The landers carried advanced instruments to study Venus' atmosphere and soil.
Accomplishments: Venera 14 arrived at Venus four days after its twin. Though the color panoramic pictures it transmitted showed the lander to have set down on a 500 m (1600 ft) hill, with small foothills in the distance, the atmospheric pressure it recorded (93.5 times that of Earth, compared to 89.5 reported by Venera 13) suggested that it reached a substantially lower altitude than Venera 13. Venera 14 performed the second soil analysis on Venus, drilling a 30 mm deep hole and excavating about one cubic centimeter of soil, which was found to be similar to basaltic rocks on Earth that are formed at mid-ocean ridges by underwater volcanoes.

Blue Ridge Dam Rehabilitation Project
Fannin County, Georgia
This page describes the environmental review process for the above-mentioned project. For current information about the project, please go to the TVA Blue Ridge Dam Rehabilitation Project Web Site.
On April 11, 2011, TVA supplemented an environmental assessment (EA) and prepared a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the Blue Ridge Dam Rehabilitation Project. The original December 2009 EA evaluated a No Action Alternative and an Action Alternative for repairing the penstock, repairing and stabilizing the upstream face of the dam, stabilizing the intake tower base, and repairing and stabilizing the downstream face of the dam.
Because of changes in the original scope of the project that have occurred since preparation of the original EA, TVA issued the supplemental EA and FONSI. These documents evaluate the potential environmental effects of the following scope changes: (1) extending project working hours up to 24 hours per day, seven days per week, (2) establishing a new area on the dam reservation for storing rock and soil removed from the dam faces, and (3) temporarily closing one or more segments of North River Road during the construction phase of the project. Analyses of these proposed changes found no significant environmental impacts would result from implementing these changes.
The original EA and FONSI and the supplemental documents are presented below.

Is Happiness a conservative, status-quo concept?
"Money can't buy happiness". Many of us think this statement is more or less true. But what are the broader implications of this statement? After all, if "the pursuit of happiness" is delayed by acquiring wealth, than why should the government be promoting initiatives to raise the economic tide through assistance to business OR welfare policies? In other words, is the pursuit of Happiness a fundamentally conservative, status-quo idea? An interesting article on this subject is posted below - but what do you think?
Jan 15 2013: The question that comes up for me is Why? Why should happiness matter to me so much? I know, experience and recall the scientific, sociological, emotional and spiritual reasons. I find these everywhere I look. Yet, no matter where in the world any one person is, the topic of happiness is one that pops itself in thoughts, ideas, feelings and conversations. So, Why? Why does it matter to each one of us so much?
I will offer my reason. It is just one reason... It may mean something or nothing, but for me, my reason to seek happiness is because with it I get to enjoy having fun while living. I get to enjoy laughter, eating delicious food, having conversations... and on and on and on.
And, again Why? comes up again for me. Why should THAT matter...? (yes, we could go ad nauseum! ;)) But, it matters, because it simply does. And, I have found that the moment I completely come to terms with the fact that it does matter and I DO care about how I feel, what I think, how my health is and what I seek, it is then that I actually see the enjoyment in what is occurring in that particular moment. It is then that I reach the conclusion that I am willing to do absolutely anything in order to maintain and sustain that happiness. It is then that I stop riding the waves and drowning in the depths. It is then that I release all worry and anxiety and fully live. It is then that I find true happiness.
Have you ever thought about why it matters to you?Jan 15 2013: I have seen happy people living in the most appalling conditions (to my mind), but who know nothing else and are content, yet I have seen people living with all the advantages and resources in life and they feel empty.
Happiness is a fluid concept. For me, it is about finding satisfaction in what I do, being content with my life, but still dreaming and wanting and experiencing those things that mean the most to me. If I can travel, read books, eat well, laugh regularly and have someone to bitch to when things go awry, I am happy; for I expect my happiness will have occasional rainy patches, financial woes and people I want to smack upside the head, but as long as I have the good with the bad, I'm content.
Fritzie -
Jan 14 2013: I am not following the logic here. When people say that money can't buy happiness, I don' think they mean either that happiness is postponed while working or that those who are destitute are happier than those who have the resources to feed and shelter their families, take care of medical needs, and so forth. They mean that after a point, additional income is not correlated either positively or negatively with happiness.
- +1
Research supports this result.
People use the word happiness differently. Martin Seligman in his TED talk on positive psychology identifies living a life of meaning and feeling good about personal relationships as being the strongest predictors of happiness, but this does not suggest either that happiness is delayed by working or that one is happiest when indigent.Jan 16 2013: The pursuit of happiness is definitely not a solely conservative idea, but a fundamental political and human idea. Hope and the striving for a better state is a bipartisan. Poor economic standing doesn't help anyone. Both republicans and democrats can agree that poor economic status creates frustration and resentment among the people, thus there is unhappiness within their political base. Democrats believe in a level playing field where everyone is helped and able to benefit from a thriving economy. I do not believe that money necessarily buys happiness, but it definitely helps (to a certain extent). Democrats believe in sharing everyone's money to invest in public infrastructure so that everyone's status of living is raised, thus we have happier people. The idea that one should be able to hoard and keep millions of dollars for one's self, without fairly giving back is a republican idea ->given the bush tax cuts for the very wealthy. At that level, more money does not buy more happiness. The ideas of what brings happiness, and how government should go about helping all to achieve happiness, differ between political parties, but they both believe in the American economy to help increase happiness. In present day American society, one cannot hope to be happy and comfortable without a steady flow of income. Happiness for all is happiness for all. We as a society are only as strong as our weakest link.Jan 16 2013: I believe "Money can't buy happiness" is neither universally true, nor false. It eventually comes down to what it takes for one person to be happy, or at least be in a state that he/she defines as happiness. If one's idea of happiness is cruising the Mediterranean on his private yacht with his family for 3 months a year, not only that money CAN buy happiness, but without it, (that particular) happiness is out of reach. If another's state of happiness greatly relates to his glory days as a football player, for instance, at 60, no money can buy that happy time back.
In any case, for the great majority of people, happiness cannot possibly come from poverty. So, as Fritzie R also said, considering the pyramid of human needs, I believe that only those who managed to climb (quite) a few steps, and reached a certain degree of financial comfort, can stop and ponder if EXTRA money is necessary and apt to buy FURTHER happiness. I very much doubt that one living in cold, famine and sickness out of sheer poverty will ever concur that "Money can't buy happiness".
Regarding the promotion of welfare, I think that, based on the above, for economical, educational, intellectual, emotional (and other) causes, the great majority of people are more likely to experience happiness (even if only as a projection) while in a state of prosperity, rather than poverty.
Andrea F below is also right, I believe. The exhaustive explanation of the why? should not matter too much, if at all. It is a psychological feature meant to ensure a state of equilibrium, even if fragile and dynamic most of the time. Accepting a state of happiness for what it is may much better serve the purpose of the happiness, than trying to explain it.
I do not have enough chars left for the main question :) I do believe, however, it is not rightly asked. Conservative and status quo are not synonyms here, as implied by the question. So, conservative - yes. Status-quo - no. Or so I think, at first glance.

Jan 15 2013: The conservative status-quo concept seems to me to be the opposite of the pursuit of happiness.

How many older people would want to go back to being who they were as a teen or younger? Teenagers don't even know how miserable they are by comparison.
People who are afraid of change/evolving are not pursuing happiness. They are pursuing fear. Great difference.

(1) It is conservative rather than adventurous.
That is why VALID happiness is MERELY a-step-better for keeping our DNA alive.
(2) "Why should the government be promoting initiatives to raise the economic tide"?
The answer is that the government policy is determined by its electorate。 And the electorate does not know what the INVALID happiness is.
(For INVALID happiness, see the 1st article, points 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)Jan 14 2013: G'day Daniel
We are lead to believe that we can only find happiness through consumerist materialism which keeps the big boys happy to some extent. The trick is we are made to feel unhappy & discontent as well at time because then we buy something to make us happy again, it's a multinational nightmare we live in.
Happiness certainly exists but not through consumerist materialism but through acceptance of one's lot in life without conflict & once we have no conflicts left to wallow in we automatically become happy. You see it's the never ending conflicts that we are subjected to in life that make us unhappy.
Jan 14 2013: and that is EXACTLY why happiness, as you have defined it (accepting one's Lot in life), supports the status quo. Because if happiness means nothing more than "accepting your lot in life", than what does that mean for the poor or disadvantaged? It means they should be quiet and peaceful and adjust to the status quo instead of being selfish and pushing for more. It is a definition of happiness which JUSTIFIES doing nothing.
Another model of happiness - that happiness should incorporate certain material standards of living, such as decent food, shelter, etc - would be quite revolutionary, because it implies that a government or society which doesn't guarantee these things to their population is actively preventing their happiness. But the definition of happiness being peddled today seems to justify non-action to help the less fortunate, because the less fortunate are, under this definition, actually MORE fortunate. Sick logic, but there you have it.
Jan 14 2013: G'day Daniel
Yes deffinently.......Acceptance means being accepting of consumerist materism as well however when one becomes accepting of one's lot in life it doesn't mean you can't change your way of life it just means your less conflictive & happier with your enviroment.
If you are born into circomstances that won't allow yourself to become wealthy trying to have what you can't have will make one's life a misery but accepting your way of life will make you happier & through this happiness it is much eaiser to change one's life than being in conflict with your life. Trying to change one's life through conflict has made the world what it is today!!!
I was on a spiritual forum discussing conflicts & found out that most spiritually aware people were at conflict with one thing or another like the ego,consumerist materialsm, judgment & even certain negative words & so on, they weren't at peace or very spiritual at all because they were conflictive with one or more things in their lives, they just weren't very accepting.
What this is saying is be more accepting & less conflictive & through this newly found happiness one can change one's circomsatnces a lot better than through conflict.
MathewJan 16 2013: Hey Mathew,
Although I can see the reason in what you are saying, our track record as a race tends to argue for the contrary. We strive for more, in a pursuit of what may or may not be happiness. Accepting one's lot in life, while definitely possible for isolated individuals, and very likely apt to bring inner peace, wisdom, and a higher form of happiness to them, is not the way we are built, not in our nature as a race. Our continuous struggle for more, and more, and yet more, is what got us out of the caverns, it's what made us smarter, faster, stronger, better organized, and eventually it's what got people like Daniel, you and me writing to one another in some sort of intellectual and educational pursuit. Sure, it has its great downsides, but the item in discussion is our nature, not its effects on the world.
It's the struggle for the promised happiness (albeit just projected) of a better status that makes us abandon the previous one, I believe. And I think that it is our nature to "run out" of a particular state of happiness and strive for the next, leaving the status quo behind. This can be the source of both great joy and great misery, and my feeling is that misery is more often than joy, but still this does not stop us (as humans) from striving for more.
We ARE a very dubious creation, this much I can say :)
Jan 17 2013: G'day Cos Mo
Your right of course, for us to evolve we just can't sit there & accept our circumstances the way they are & do nothing, however the concept of acceptance is about accepting our present condition in life before we improve it instead of trying to change it through non-acceptance which is conflictive. We have mostly changed through conflicts as most of our advancements for starters have arisen from necessity because of conflicts. What I am saying is how about accepting our circumstances for once without being in conflict with them & then change them more peacefully, at least this way were not taking any leftover portion of these conflicts into the change & messing them up as well.
Jan 17 2013: Hi Mathew,
What you are saying makes perfect sense to me, and seems correct from a philosophical or spiritual point of view; but I am not at all sure you (or us, since I agree) are right from a social and evolutionary perspective. Studies have shown that people are more loss averse than they are risk driven, which in our context means they are more likely to attempt the preservation of a status quo they have come to accept, as you say, and be at peace with, then push forward to new heights and thus, in a way, evolve. I say in a way because evolution in itself does not necessarily mean being able to shop all Sunday long at the mall, yet the mall is a result of evolution.
I believe that your pattern is at this time only available to the masses via education, not via genetic inheritance, which is opposite, and pushes toward conflictive changes. However, I do believe, in an intuitive manner, that acceptance of a status before peacefully moving to the next is also apt to bring evolution, albeit a slower one, following a different pattern than the one we've seen in the human societies. And yes, perhaps a safer one too.
Still, I do not believe we are up to the task at this point in our evolution and structure. I believe that at macro levels, it's either conflictive evolution or status quo, since at this point, it seems to me that the only way to give up the status quo willingly is by need - generated by conflict and in turn generating conflict.
CosmoJan 14 2013: 'than why should the government be promoting initiatives to raise the economic tide through assistance to business OR welfare policies?'
Because our economies are based on a flawed model that obligates infinite and persistent growth.
If the growth stops, then debts accumulate, the system goes bankrupt and the society (and all the positives) go with it until it can be restarted or replaced.
Inactuality you really can't buy happiness. Studies consistently show that people in countries that focus on material wealth are less happy than those countries who don't.
For some reason we're all just expected to lie to ourselves and pretend like all this around us really matters
*shrugs shoulders*

Alumni in Houston: Cold Weather Get-together
Alumni in Houston: Cold Weather Get-together
Extremely low temperatures did not keep a handful of Webb alumni and current students from gathering on February 9th at Ichibon Japanese restaurant in the Greenspoint section of Houston, down the street from the American Bureau of Shipping.
Tom Wheaton, Adam Van Doren and Tony Urbanelli hosted the dinner, with two of the three Webb interns in Houston this year — David Donatelli and Kyle Manis — in attendance. (Unfortunately Richard Kim, the third Webb intern in Houston this winter, was not able to attend.) David and Kyle are working for ABS, and Richard is working for SeaRiver Maritime, an ExxonMobil subsidiary.
The dinner was cut short due to the weather, but the attendees enjoyed good conversation about the current and past state of affairs at Webb and student life, and much talk about plans for the future.
The Webb alumni in Houston have been very busy planning future events.
On March 19th approximately 10 alumni will be touring the battleship Texas. This event is being organized by Tom Gillette '52, a docent at the museum. On May 3rd, a few alumni will make a presentation to the visiting juniors about career opportunities in the offshore business. In the fall, the SNAME and Webb Alumni Association annual meeting will be in Houston.

How Do Eyelash Extensions Work?
Eyelash extensions, once a beauty secret of celebrities like Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian, have crossed over and onto the eyelids of regular folk. Quality extensions are carefully applied by a licensed aesthetician, come in a variety of natural and synthetic materials, and beat store-bought falsies in quality, safety, and natural appearance.How long does the application process take?Getting a full set of eyelash extensions can take up to three hours. Most sets take closer to two hours to complete. It takes a while because the aesthetician is applying one lash extension at a time—one for each natural lash. Half sets and touchups take considerably less time.How long do the lashes last?The lifespan of the extensions hinges on the growth cycle of your lashes. Lashes regenerate naturally, growing and eventually falling out every six to eight weeks. Most reputable salons suggest that extensions can last up to six weeks with proper care, but touchups are recommended every three weeks to keep the extensions looking their best.What are the lashes made out of?Most salons stock a variety of lash types and will sometimes even use different lengths and materials on one eyelid to achieve the perfect look for their clients. The three most common types, however, are synthetic, synthetic silk, and mink hair. Each offers its own unique look and feel, with mink considered the lightest, most luxurious, and subsequently the most expensive.What are the aftercare instructions?You should always consult with your aesthetician and heed their aftercare instructions. However, most will advise the same basic steps, which include:Avoid getting brand-new lashes wet for 24–48 hoursAvoid sitting in a sauna, working out, or getting very sweaty through other means for that same period of timeNear your eyes, avoid using oil-based products, any products that include glycol, and waterproof mascaraAvoid anything that's moisture-rich, such as lotion, shampoo, conditioner, etc. "Some of my addicted clients use swimming goggles while showering," said eyelash-extensions expert Liv Contreras.Can I still wear makeup with eyelash extensions?To some extent, yes. Many aestheticians will tell you not to use oil-based or waterproof mascara, which can dissolve the most commonly used bonding agents. Application of mascara can also tug at the extensions, causing them to fall out sooner. In general, you should consider water-based makeup and water-based makeup remover. Talk to the staff at your salon and see if they recommend any specific cosmetics to help keep your new lashes fluttering strong.How many do I need?Experienced aestheticians apply one extension per natural lash. So if you're getting a full set, you'll need as many extensions as you have eyelashes. You can also opt for partial extensions, which are often offered in half sets or three-quarter sets. This meticulous application process helps keep lashes from clumping together in a look some experts call "gross."Read more below:Which Eyelash Extensions Should I Get?Dramatic or natural? That is the question. The other question: What kind of budget are you on?Favin Got Eyelash Extensions and It Gave Her FOMOFavin got a full set of silk-synthetic blend eyelash extensions called the Kim K's. Now she looks like a glamazon, though she's not engaged to Kanye West (yet).A First-Timer's Guide to Eyelash ExtensionsA writer whose makeup bag contains chapstick and little else gets eyelash extensions at Chicago Lash Lounge and shares how it changed her life—sort of.Read More

Hi guys- taking inspiration from the existing forum-thread base game (thanks for running it Steady!), I've just created the official, automated Guess the Score Game system for CTB.
Basically for every game until the season closes, you can submit your entry on how many points the Clippers & the opposing team will score. Whoever gains the most points at the end of the season will win a Amazon gift certificate, with GC's for the second and third place winners as well.
Check it out here:
I haven't had the chance to extensively test it out, so if you found any bugs or run into any problems, please let me know. Have fun and good luck!
I wish i could make a clap gif! Great addition!
Weird. It says I'm too late for the laker game and won't let me post for the Dubs game until it starts.
Something to do with your clocks, I guess.
^^Sorry- try it now.
^ Yep... that did it!
Good job, David. And thanks Steady for holding down the fort.
Nicee this is great!
looks like i am not able to post my score..
And it looks like we get a point no matter what??
I got a score right for the Lakers game but didn't use this new system, just put my guess in the thread. I want my point!!!!!!!!!!! as I have never got it right till now.
I can't work out how to use this new system.
Well, in the meantime I'll put my guess here.
Clips 110 Kings 98
Yep you get a point just for participating. You couldn't enter your score before the game started? Did you remember seeing an error message? Anyone else getting the same problem?
Can you be more specific?
Basically for every game until the season closes, you can submit your entry on how many points the Lakers & the opposing team will score.
Sorry David, I think a little correction is needed here, lol. (lakers?)
I clicked on the link but couldn't work out where or how to place an entry. I got the Clips pts right for the Kings game as well as the Lakers. See above. I want my points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooops- copy n paste got me there- fixed .
Doh, that sucks but sorry you have to use the system to enter and qualify .
I have never guessed a right score until now, and then I get 2 right in 3 games and you tell me this.
^^I know, I know- use the game system to enter and your entry will count in the future. There are 79 games left + playoff games, so plenty of other chances to get the score right. I don't see your entry there yet for the Rockets game, so go ahead & enter, and let me know if you have any questions on how to use it.
BTW congrats to clipsclaps on a 4 point score the last game!
Ok so I just clicked on the link and 2 boxes appeared for the scores and a big one for comments. Everything but those boxes appeared on the page yesterday. So it should be fine now.
Love this idea. Great addition!
I think we should eventually develop it into an actual game prediction where the point spread gets you the win. Because if you say the clippers win 110-95 (+15) but they lose 93-95 (-2) you would get 3 points even though you were way off the actual game prediction. Whereas someone predicting a 96-94 loss (-2) wouldn't earn any points though they were more accurate with the actual game prediction.
This just seems like guessing rather than predicting. The person that puts both team's average point total for all games is likely to win out just by getting one or the other right. Just a suggestion.
^^Good idea and I actually I thought about giving point(s) for having the right spread. Maybe I will add that new rule starting in game 4.
Okay just added the new rule valid starting the next game and onward- if you don't get the scores right, BUT get the spread correctly AND get the right winner/loser, then you get 3 points.
^ Nice!
Awesome! Thanks David, you rock.
This is/was/will be an awesome idea. Thank you David for setting it up.
Hey guys- starting the upcoming game & onwards, those who have received a rep OR made at least 20 posts in the last 7 days (dating back from the end of the upcoming active game), will get one extra point. So instead of 1 for participating, 3 for the right spread, 4 for guessing one score right, & 10 for both scores right, you'd get 2, 4, 5, & 11, respectively.
the new format is really good except, much easier to keep track of
Congratulations to the 2013-14 Guess the Score Champions for Clippers Topbuzz!
cleepers (209 pts)
Silasie (191 pts)
gman (180 pts)
Please PM me your email address and I will send you the Amazon Gift Certificate within 2 days. Thanks to everyone who participated!
A Pyrrhic victory
Hey gang the new season is here (at least the pre-season), and I'm happy to announce that Guess the Score is back. Starting in game 2 of the pre-season, you can make your guesses and earn points towards winning top 3 prizes. There are a few minor changes:
Guessing 1 score right is now worth 5 (vs 4 before)
Getting the winner correctly + right difference in points = 4 points (it was 3 before)
Getting the exact score right = 15 points (vs 10 in the past)
Have fun!
Yo David, how much are the gift cards worth? I am actually gonna start guessing...
And where is the magic box where i input my prediction?
^^Right here:
The link to the game is shown on the right side of the main page, below the Everything Else forum. There is also a link to it on gameday threads.
BTW I've just added a new way to get more points- if you picked the right winning team, you get 2 points despite not getting the scores or spread right.
Click on the prizes section at the game page and you will see
Well the season has come to a terribly bitter end but congrats to cleepers, winningbasket, & silasie as the winners of the 14-15 guess the score contest. I'm out of town right now but will be back by the end of the month to send your prizes.
Thanks, David! Congrats to Cleepers and Silasie!
Thanks, David... and cheers to everyone who played!
You are very welcome guys- I just sent you the Amazon gift certificates- congrats again! Cleeps the Back to Back champ! Who will challenge his supremacy next season- we'll have to see!
I'll be here next season, going for the three-peat!
Thanks again, David... and congratulations to the other winners.
Thanks for the Amazon GC, David! So awesome!
Congrats to Mr. Back-to-Back Champion, Cleepers. You did great! Perhaps I can wrest the championship trophy from you next year, lol! Although a 3-peat for you would be phenomenal.
Congrats also to Silasie for placing third.
Looking forward to next season's scoring game!
Great job yall!

I have to say, I've played a lot of courses in my 15 yrs of disc golf slinging, including some of the best in the country (including Flyboy), and this is definitely one of the nicer, well taken care of courses. Most city/county park courses just clear the land, put some baskets in, and boom, disc golf course. But whoever's taking care of this course does a great job. I've played it three times in a week and a half, and that's driving from Smyrna. I love the nice tee pads, the brooms at the tee pads, the clear marking from tee to tee, and the berms and things that make the course interesting along the way. I'd say it's become my new favorite Atlanta course.
So, to whoever helps maintain it, work on it, etc. Thanks. You've helped make a really nice, fun course.

Let's point out the obvious. Tannehill being moved to wide receiver at any point in his career after such a high draft pick and our history replete with disappointments at quarterback represents a colossal failure by Dolphins management to finally fix the position.
Having said that, I am encouraged by the notion that he has position versatility. The same way you can take an offensive tackle who struggles and turn them into a guard (i.e. Robert Gallery, who excelled at his new position), it seems that Tannehill has the requisite athleticism and experience to shift to wide receiver. His measurables are also fantastic at 6'4" 224 lbs. After watching Gruden's QB camp episode with him, I also like the apparent passion he has for the game, which lets me think he would do whatever the team asks him to and work diligently at it.
Let me state for the record that I am very happy with the pick and cautiously optimistic of his chances to succeed. The fallback option though of shifting him to receiver lets me know that we won't have to cut him after two years like we did with Philip Merling. Everyone knows we don't need another draft pick to wash out, but at least there could be a potential silver lining here. Who knows? Maybe he ends up a better receiver than quarterback. I desperately hope not, but it's gives me some extra hope.
Go Dolphins.

Virginia Tech Holds Off East Tennessee State, 8-5, At Kingsport Classic
Tuesday, April 23, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (April 23, 2002) - Virginia Tech's Chris Stanton went 3-for-3, including a bases loaded triple, helping Virginia Tech to an 8-5 win over East Tennessee State in non-conference baseball action at the Kingsport Classic. It was East Tennessee State (16-23) that got on the board first in this one, scoring a run in the second to take the early lead. Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) got the first of two doubles on the night when his fly to right was lost in the lights by the Tech right fielder. Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) sacrificed Moore to third from where he scored on a ground out by Mike Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.). Virginia Tech (22-17) could not get anything going until the fourth off of Buccaneer starter Jackson Simerly (Bluff City, Tenn.). The Hokies managed to load the bases on a pair of singles and a walk before Stanton laced a two-out triple to the wall in left center that cleared the bases. Simerly then hit Brad Bauder before Tech got consecutive RBI singles from Marc Tugwell, Jon West and Wyatt Toregas to take a 6-1 lead. ETSU took advantage of a pair of Tech errors to score an unearned run in the fifth, but the Hokies answered with a Spencer Harris home run in the bottom of the inning. Two more runs came across for the Bucs in the sixth, cutting Tech's lead to 7-4. Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) and Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.) started the inning with singles. Moore then doubled home Terry and Keithley plated Cross with a ground out. The Bucs then cut the lead to 7-5 when Terry led off the eighth with a double and scored on a single from Cross. The Bucs then loaded the bases with no outs, but Giroud popped out and Bryan Crouse (Kingston, Tenn.) pinch-hit into an inning ending double play to end the threat. Bauder doubled home a run for the Hokies in the bottom of the eighth for the final run of the game. Moore finished the night going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run and RBI to lead ETSU. Terry and Cross each had a pair of hits for the Bucs. Stanton was the only Tech player with more than one hit with his 3-for-3 night. Simerly took the loss for ETSU, going four innings and giving up seven hits and six runs. Josh Kite (Greenville, Tenn.) pitched well in relief, tossing a pair of hitless innings, striking out one. Virginia Tech starter Jeff Landing picked up his second win of the season, going 6.1 innings and allowing three earned runs. Matt Dalton set down the Bucs in order in the ninth to pick up his sixth save. ETSU will return to Southern Conference action this weekend when the Bucs will travel to Appalachian State on Saturday, April 27 for a noon doubleheader.
