The carafe for cold drinks...
The Eva Solo fridge carafe has been designed in the simple style of a classic milk bottle – with a size that definitely fits in every fridge door with its 1.4 l. The design was created by Tools Design.
The top and neck of the carafe are large enough for ice cubes or lemon slices. Also, the carafe has a patented flip-top lid that doesn't only open up automatically for pouring but also prevents ice cubes or lemon slices from falling directly into the glass.
Another advantage is the colourful neoprene coating with zip-closure that also keeps the drinks cold outside of the fridge. The fridge carafe is dishwasher safe and it is a functional and decorative element for the table at home and also for a picnic outside.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Colombo to declare permanent Sacred HSZ at Maathakal[TamilNet, Wednesday, 22 June 2011, 10:01 GMT]Genocidal Sri Lanka plans to keep Thiruvadinilai area of Maathakal, the northwest tip of the Jaffna Peninsula, as a permanent High Security Zone by building a naval base there, but camouflaging it as a Sacred Place of the Sinhala-Buddhists, news sources from Jaffna said. The location is one of the two closest spots of communication between the island of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. While Thalai Mannaar in Mannaar district is the closest to Rameasvaram, Maathakal in Jaffna Peninsula is the closest to Koadikkarai (Point Calimere) in Tamil Nadu. Colombos archaeologists claim Thiruvadinilai as the landing place of Sinhala-Buddhism to the island in 3rd century BC, and are building modern Buddhist establishments there. A gazette notification of Colombo is soon expected to declare the area a Sacred Place to facilitate permanent confiscation of lands belonging to Tamils. The current HSZ occupied by the SL military around Palaali and Kaankeasan-thurai (KKS), the airport and seaport areas in the Valikaamam part of the Jaffna Peninsula will never be returned to people, as there is an understanding between New Delhi and Colombo over this, political circles in Jaffna said. Maathakal is another spot now targeted for military and genocidal purposes by Sri Lanka occupying the country of Eezham Tamils. Colombo recently built Buddhist establishments there and encouraged Sinhala pilgrims to visit the place in large numbers. Mahinda Rajapaksas wife installed a statue of Sanghamitta with great funfair at this place. According to Buddhist chronicles of the island, Sanghamitta, a Buddhist nun and Asokan emissary was the person who brought a branch of the Sacred Bo-Tree to the island in the 3rd century BC, and landed at a place called Kola Patuna in the north. Whether Kola Patuna is the present Thiruvadinilai in Maathakal or not, the very name mentioned in the Pali chronicles is Tamil and Dravidian, suggesting that the place where Buddhism landed was a country of Tamils, academics in Jaffna said. Kola Patuna is the Pali form of Kozhu Paddinam, in Tamil/ Dravidian, meaning, the port town at the tip, they said, adding that the involved words are of Dravidian etymology. However, making an exclusive claim for Sinhala-Buddhism of today, and executing a structural genocide attack on the Eezham Tamils of the land, the state in Sri Lanka adopts a military strategy for archaeology and archaeological camouflage for military objectives. Genocide of Eezham Tamils and militarization of the island are carefully coupled together to justify each other in saving the present regime as well as saving the interests of some powers, political circles in Jaffna pointed out. Some of the leading archaeologists of Sri Lanka had their early training in military academy or are closely connected to the SL defence establishment, sources in Colombo said. Maathakal is just one of the military-Buddhist enclaves the state in Sri Lanka is building in the country of Eezham Tamils it occupies. The other major enclaves in the making are in Trincomalee, Mullaiththeevu, Kilinochchi, Mannaar, Neduntheevu (Delft), Pallali and in Kanakaraayan-kulam in Vavuniyaa. Besides, in hundreds of other places there are smaller centres mushrooming. Even the uninhabited island Paalai-theevu off Jaffna and close to Kachcha-theevu has a Buddhist structure built in recent times, news sources in Jaffna said. The island lacking drinking water was never inhabited. It is a resting place for the fishermen of Jaffna and is a pilgrim place for the annual fete of St Antony observed by the Catholic Church of Jaffna. SL Army now occupies the island. In materialising a military-genocidal enclave at Thiruvadinilai in Maathakal, the local people are never permitted to even see their lands and houses. The fishermen community of the village is discouraged from carrying out fishing. In planning a centre of Sinhala-Buddhist authority at the place, the police station of the area too is going to be shifted to the enclave. In what is now believed as had been schemed by establishments on either side of the Palk Strait for varied purposes, an attack of a trawler fleet coming from India some months back inflicted heavy damages to the fishing nets of the fishermen of Maathakal. When the fishermen demonstrated in front of the Deputy High Commission of India in Jaffna that was disturbed by a gang coming from the SL militarys enclave in the city. One of the aims of the whole episode was making the local fishermen to leave Maathakal on their own, political circles in Jaffna allege. Meanwhile, Colombos leading archaeologist Dr. S U Deraniyagala, who is believed to be directing excavations at Kantharoadai through remote control, is currently on a visit to Jaffna. He briefed the local press last weekend on the findings of the excavation that was in conformity with what Vimala Begley said in the 1960s on the pre-Buddhist Megalithic culture of Jaffna. Whether the excavated material will be housed in Kantharoadai or in Jaffna itself, with honest projection of facts to enlighten the Sinhala-Buddhist visitors from the south on the origins of Eezham Tamils in the island as well as on their own origins, is the question in the academic circles of Jaffna. But the way the SL Army and Archaeology establishes enclaves in typical genocidal style is neither going to bring in reconciliation of nations in the island nor going to facilitate reconciliation of Eezham Tamils with the powers that see the process convenient for their control of the island as a whole and back it, the academic circles further said.

meet the press
^ ohh. you should encourage yourself and find a new stylist
it was fun to read how you're all so loyal to your stylist. i always had my stylist. but it wasn't always the same. i kept getting a new one because i got bored. for three years i went to the same hair salon. i went like three or four times a year. the same guy always styled my hair, untill one day i got a call from him telling me he had opened his own salon. i wanted to grow my hair, so since i never wanted a hair cut i never went to see him. one day i decided that my hair was too heavy and needed some shape.so i went to the same old salon, but with a different guy. he did a terrible job! there were parts that were too short, others too long .. and no talking about the time (two months ago) when i wanted to re-cut my bangs. i had to wear it pulled back for three weeks now my hair's grown, i needed shape again, because the last guy did nothing for my hair. and i went to this salon that i hated (now love) because they gave me a terrible hair cut years ago. if i could have done it myself, i'd have cut my hair the way it is now. this new guy's a keeper sorry about the massive lenght

A view from above and a senior singapore moment
Trip Start

Trip End

Where I stayed
My back is killing me.... well around my neck and I hope it passes soon!!
I find myself today heading to the harbour and after taking almost an hour to get here I then have a horrible feeling I've brought my camera with me but left my battery in the charger back at the resort (not even charging might I add!!!) A quick check and my feeling is confirmed!
So having come this far do I carry on and describe it without pictures? Go back? Or buy a disposable? None of the above I find a shop who sells battery's and sells them already charged!!
So a few dollars later and discount... which I never even asked for but thanks.. I begin my day!
Today I travel by cable car!
The Singapore government came up with the idea of an cable car to Sentosa from Mount Faber in 1968 as part of its masterplan for tourism projects in the country. 4 years later in 1972, construction on the S$5.8 million system commenced, and was officially opened on 15 February 1974 by then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Goh Keng Swee. During its opening, the system had 43 cabins which required manual opening and closing of doors by cabin attendants. This was increased to 51 cabins in 1976. The show Hawaii Five-O (you're humming the tune aren't you?) was filmed on the system in the same year, while the world's first Mass Weddings on the cable cars was introduced in the late 1970s. In 1988, the system celebrated its 10 millionth rider. It played hosts to the contestants of the Miss World Pageant when it was held in Singapore in 1989, as well as the sportsmen and officials who were here for the Southeast Asian Games in 1990.
The system's cabins were replaced in 1994 at a cost of over S$11 million. The new cabins totalled 80, and effectively doubled the system's capacity to 1400 passengers per hour in either direction from 700 passengers previously. The upgrade took 25 days to complete, during which time the system suspended operations. A year later in 1995, the system welcomed its 20 millionth rider, and quickly reached its 25 millionth visitor just two years later in 1997. The stations at Mount Faber and Sentosa were also upgraded in the same year, while Lego presented to Singapore the world's only life-size cable car cabin based on the Singapore cable car's design.
In November 1999, the Singapore cable car system did another world's first with its glass-bottomed cabins at a cost of S$30,000 each. 6 more of these popular cabins were added in December 2000, giving the system a total of 81 cabins today. For a week from March 16, 2004, the system conducted the 'Surviving the Sky' Challenge as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations. 34 two-man teams (2 teams withdrew at the last minute) from around Asia attempted the challenge to see who could survive the longest in the cable car for 24 hours a day.(sounds like David Blaine, huh?) A S$36 million upgrade of the entire system started on September 14, 2009 and re-opened on July 21, 2010. All the cabins are now metallic black cars with chrome trimming. There are 67 bigger cabins, including World's First 7* VIP Jewelled Cabin. (hmmm I wish but no travelled in the normal one!) The two cables were raised by 30m to facilitate the bigger cabins, to stand 120 m above sea level. Seating capacity was also increased to eight passengers per cabin from six. There are also new flip-up seats and a new music system.
And with all good things.... there are sometimes incidents....
An accident on the Singapore Cable Car system occurred on 29 January 1983, when the derrick of the Eniwetok, a Panamanian-registered oil rig, passed under the aerial ropeway and struck the cable that stretched over the waterway between the Jardine Steps Station and the Sentosa Station. As a result, two cabins plunged 55 metres into the sea, killing seven people. The oil rig was being towed away from Keppel Wharf when it became entangled in the cable and caused it to snap. It also left 13 people trapped in four other cabins between Mount Faber and Sentosa. The accident was the first involving death or injury since the cable car system opened in February 1974. This disaster caused the entire system to shut down for almost seven months.
And ignoring what has happened, this cable car ride is just lovely if not a bit scary.... you look below at the sea, main road and lots of greenery.... its another must do.
Arriving at Mount Faber, a hill that provides a panoramic view of Singapore and other countries in the distance, it rests amongst the lush foliage and this is where The Jewel Box stands as Singapore's iconic hilltop destination.
At 106m above sea-level, Mount Faber is Singapore's third highest hill and a popular tourist destination. The hill, originally named Telok Blangah Hill, was renamed Mount Faber in July 1845, in honour of Captain Charles Edward Faber of the Madras Engineers. Captain Faber built a narrow winding road to the summit of Mount Faber for the installation of a signal station and flagstaff to complement military operations on Sentosa island.
In 1974, Singapore's first cableway system and the first in the world to span a harbour was launched. This cableway linked Mount Faber and the Sentosa island. In 2005, this humble cable car station underwent its biggest refurbishment and rebranding and was transformed into a unique and captivating tourist destination, THE JEWEL BOX.
The transformation into Singapore's iconic hilltop destination was conceptualized by Mount Faber Leisure Group's CEO, Ms Susan Teh. The name was inspired by the building's architecture - a musical jewel box whose luminous lustre could be witnessed from afar. The twinkling star-lights, changing colour washes on the exterior fa�ade, and the glittering cable cars that traverse in and out of the unique fa�ade at night, attract millions of tourists and locals to uncover and delight in the many gems that can be found within its confines.
The Jewel Box houses a retail shop, cable car attraction rides and 5 gem-inspired F&B establishments each offering a distinct dining experience. Designated as a premium gateway, The Jewel Box offers a premium and differentiated experience for guests to Sentosa island's attractions including Resorts World@ Sentosa and Universal Studios
And the legend.....
A long time ago, there once lived a little girl named Cheery. She was blind since birth and her parents were amongst the poorest in the land. Although they had nothing much to offer her, Cheery's parents always showered her with plenty of love and care.
Years passed and little Cheery grew up to be a young lady of great charm and intelligence. She had a lovely character and many of those who knew her adored her. One of the things she had learned from parents is to give love to the people around her. Soon, the news of her traveled to the faraway Fairy Kingdom where the Fairy Godmother heard about her kindness to mankind and was touched by Cheery's sincerity.
One warm, starry night, the Fairy God Mother entered into Cheery's chamber at midnight and woke Cheery. In the gentlest voice, she told Cheery that for her great kindness to mankind, she will be granted a wish that will make her dreams a reality.Kind Cheery replied, "My dear Fairy God Mother, I was born blind and I never knew how beautiful this world is, but I am still happy. I have encountered many unhappy and angry people, crying, quarreling, screaming and shouting at each other. Is the world such an ugly place? Compared to them, I am fortunate because my parents love me and I want to give love to these people.
My only wish is to have a beautiful place where people can go and be bathed in the warmth of love, sincerity, joy and happiness. It should be on a hill where we can smell the freshness of greenery and the sweet scent of flowers and feel the security of tall strong trees. A place where the bees dance and the birds sing to cheer the weary souls. A refuge where we can feel the warmth of the setting sun as it paints an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours across the sky. A highpoint where people can see the sparkling lights bouncing with every wave that washes across the sea, helping each tired spirit to rejuvenate and let go of sorrow and worries. Here they can breathe in fresh clean air that will help them stay young, beautiful and healthy. A meeting point where you meet beautiful people ever smiling from the depths of their hearts.
It must be a place that fascinates. These are all the jewels of life! Please put them into a Jewel Box for the world to behold and enjoy. My wish is for everyone to come and be touched by these true gems of life all set in The Jewel Box." When Cheery finished her words, Fairy God Mother vanished. Just then, Cheery felt the breaking dawn warming her face and she opened her eyes – she could see! She ran out of the house and saw the house was up on the hill, transformed into The Jewel Box of her dream. Fairy God Mother had granted her wish.
Ever since then, Cheery and The Jewel Box has touched the lives of many who ventured through its doors and enjoyed the gems of life. Though you can't see Cheery now but her spirit of love is in the air for this is The Jewel Box – the place where you can be touched by passion and enjoy the greatness of the simplest yet most beautiful things that nature has to offer up here on Mount Faber.
Magical? No, it is in all of us and we can enjoy it if only we allow it to surface.Cheery invites you to The Jewel Box to discover and be one true happy person!
You can walk the many paths here or just relax and have lunch or a drink... it really is just lush!
Another Singapore attraction that is totally enchanting.
I then make my way back on the cable car and head to Vivo city. For all you shopaholics out there, this is the largest mall in Singapore!!!
VivoCity evokes a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality. It also serves as the official venue for the live televised countdown to the new year!
To say this mall is BIG would be an understatement, its huge... set on 5 levels!! Even I got lost!! There is every shop you could imagine and a great shopping destination... did I buy anything.... silly question!!!!
After a full on day my legs are beginning to ache and I make my way back to the resort for dinner and a early(ish) night!!
I've said it before but I'm loving Singapore!!

Takeshi Kaneshiro (Japanese, Okinawan and Chinese: 金城 武; born October 11, 1973) is a Taiwanese-Japanese actor and singer.
Kaneshiro (金城?) is a common Okinawan surname,[1] while his given name is Takeshi (武). He appears as Kaneshiro Takeshi (金城 武) in Japanese media.
Since personal names are commonly written in Chinese characters in both Chinese and Japanese naming conventions, with surnames before given names, and the name sounds native in both Japanese and Chinese, this gives Kaneshiro the freedom whether to distinguish himself as a Japanese when working in Chinese-speaking countries by preserving or removing the space between his surname and given name.
Early life[edit]
Kaneshiro's mother is Taiwanese and his father is from Okinawa, Japan.[2][3][unreliable source?] He was born and raised in Taipei but also holds Japanese citizenship.[4][5]
The son of a Japanese businessman and a Taiwanese homemaker,[6] he has two elder brothers; one is his senior by seven years, the other just by one.[7] After graduating from Taipei Japanese Junior High School, he enrolled at English-based Taipei American School, which enabled him to converse in English. While he was studying there, he began doing television commercials and decided to quit school to pursue a singing and acting career. He is multilingual, fluent in Mandarin, Taiwanese Hokkien, Japanese, Cantonese, and to lesser degrees in English.
In 1992, Kaneshiro made his singing debut, entering the business with the nickname Aniki, meaning 'older brother' in Japanese. His debut album was Heartbreaking Night (1992). Contracted to EMI, he wrote many of his own Mandarin and Cantonese songs. The following year, his popularity propelled him into acting and he no longer produces any commercial music.
His film debut was Executioners (1993) and this was followed by Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express (1994), Fallen Angels (1995) and a string of other Hong Kong films. Later, Kaneshiro starred in the Japanese Drama God, Please Give Me More Time (1998), allowing him to branch into Japanese films such as Returner (2002).
Kaneshiro's work, however, is more heavily concentrated in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In 2008 and 2009 he starred in Red Cliff, a high budget film by Hong Kong director John Woo. He has also played the romantic lead in Zhang Yimou's House of Flying Daggers, and starred alongside Jet Li and Andy Lau in The Warlords. Kaneshiro has also become well known in the video game industry portraying the samurai warrior Samanosuke in Capcom's Onimusha. In a June 2007 article on the film site Ain't It Cool News, it was revealed that Kaneshiro was going to be in the Onimusha film, reprising his role as Samanosuke and for a 2011 release, but that project was derailed.[8][9][10] The producer Samuel Hadida had to delay the filming of Onimusha, which has resulted in the film's Japanese cast working on other film projects during the delay, and being unavailable to start filming. These factors were enough that French director Christophe Gans will now direct an adaptation of Leo Perutz's novel The Swedish Cavalier first, taking over the reins from Gilles Mimouni. Satomi Ishihara and Tsuyoshi Ihara remain attached to the project.
In 2003, Kaneshiro was featured in the magazine Time and was coined as becoming the Asian film industry's Johnny Depp.[6] Moreover, Kaneshiro was interviewed by CNN in the TalkAsia segment in 2006.[11]
Outside of the entertainment business, Kaneshiro has acted as a spokesperson and model for Emporio Armani (2008) as well as, Prada (1998), Lifecard credit card company, VAIO personal computer, Honda, Lipice lips moisturizer, SonyEricsson, Pocari Sweat soft drink, Morinaga chocolate, Volvic, GEOS (eikaiwa) (language school), Petronas oil company, Japan Asia Airways, Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota MarkX ZiO, Mitsubishi Galant, NTT docomo the predominant mobile phone operator in Japan, NTT Yellow Pages, Shiseido, Lycos, UCC Ueshima Coffee Co., Kadokawa Shoten a well-known Japanese publisher based in Tokyo, Rice Burger, Roasted barley tea, One2Free (HK), and Kiwi cold drink, and the most recent Biotherm Homme since 2005.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Kaneshiro is a practicing Buddhist, having converted in 1997, and has said his mother is also a devout Buddhist.[13] Kaneshiro is known for trying to avoid the media spotlight. He has been quoted as saying "If one day I get married and have kids, I will probably be one of those men who really care for the family. I will eat at home every day, and help with the chores and take care of the children."[14]

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
When North Quincy High School underwent a renovation and addition in 1978-80, one of the enhancements to the then half-century-old building was a set of new windows.
More than three decades later, school officials say those windows that once helped give the building new life are themselves in pressing need of replacement.
Now, Quincy has an opportunity to secure state funds to replace the windows not only at North Quincy but also in the Merrymount and Wollaston elementary schools, where they are similarly outmoded.
The three schools are among 13 from five area districts that were recently invited by the Massachusetts School Building Authority into its Accelerated Repair Program.
In addition to Quincy, the local schools newly entering the program are in Easton, Pembroke, Randolph, and Stoughton.

The meniscus is a wedge-shaped piece of cartilage that sits in between the bones of the knee and acts as a cushion to protect the bones during movement. Each knee has two menisci.
Healthy menisci are shaped like crescent moons (in fact, "meniscus" comes from the Greek word for crescent). A discoid meniscus is thicker than normal, and often oval or disc-shaped. It is more prone to injury than a normally shaped meniscus.
Some people with discoid meniscus may go through their entire lives and never experience any problems. Many people, however, will have knee problems related to the discoid meniscus. Symptoms often begin during childhood.
The menicus acts as a "shock absorber" between your femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). It protects the thin articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones and helps the knee to easily bend and straighten.
There are two menisci in the knee: the medial meniscus on the inside of the knee, and the lateral meniscus on the outside.
The menisci are attached to the tibia bone by a strong tissue called the meniscofemoral ligament. This ligament also provides a blood supply to a small portion of the meniscus.
In many cases, a discoid meniscus is shaped like a half moon or complete circle, rather than a crescent moon. It most often occurs on the lateral side (outside) of the knee, and can sometimes be found in both knees.
Types of Discoid Meniscus
There are three types of discoid menisci:
- Incomplete. The meniscus is slightly thicker and wider than normal.
- Complete. The meniscus completely covers the tibia.
- Hypermobile Wrisberg. This occurs when the meniscofemoral ligament that attaches the meniscus to the tibia is absent. Without this ligament, even a fairly normally shaped meniscus can sometimes slip into the joint and cause pain, as well as locking and popping of the knee.
Discoid Meniscus Injuries
A discoid meniscus is more prone to injury than a normal meniscus. The thick, abnormal shape of a discoid meniscus makes it more likely to get stuck in the knee or tear. If the meniscofemoral ligament attachment to the tibia is also missing, the risk for injury is even greater.
Once injured, even a normal meniscus is difficult to heal. This is because the meniscus lacks a strong blood supply and the nutrients that are essential to healing cannot reach the injured tissues.
In many cases of discoid meniscus, patients experience symptoms without there being any injury to the meniscus.
The cause of discoid meniscus is not known. It is a congenital (present at birth) defect.
Injuries to the discoid meniscus often occur with twisting motions to the knee, such as during sports that require pivoting or fast changes in direction.
The most common symptoms of a discoid meniscus or torn discoid meniscus are:
- Pain
- Stiffness or swelling
- Catching, popping, locking of the knee
- Feeling that the knee is "giving way"
- Inability to fully extend (straighten) the knee
Medical History and Physical Examination
After discussing your child's medical history and any events that occurred before symptoms started, your doctor will examine your child's knee.
Your child may or may not have tenderness where the bones meet.
To test for discoid meniscus, your doctor will twist your child's knee with the knee bent and straightened. In many cases of discoid meniscus, there is a popping or clunking sensation. This can sometimes even be heard. In extreme cases, part of the meniscus will pop out of the knee joint and can be seen right under the skin.
Imaging Tests
X-rays. Although x-rays do not show tears of soft tissues like the meniscus, they can show whether there are other problems in the knee. In addition, because the discoid meniscus is so thick, the space between the femur and tibia on the lateral part of the knee may appear widened on an x-ray.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. This study can create detailed images of the soft tissues of the knee joint and is the best imaging test for discoid meniscus.
The MRI can show the abnormal shape of the discoid meniscus, as well as tears within the meniscus. However, the rare Wrisberg type of discoid meniscus cannot be tested with an MRI scan because the problem only occurs when the patient is moving.
An MRI study involves lying still for 30-45 minutes. Many young patients require some sedation or anesthesia to complete the test.
Sometimes, a doctor discovers a discoid meniscus when evaluating the knee for a different problem. If the discoid meniscus is not causing any symptoms, then specific treatment for it may not be necessary.
When a discoid meniscus is causing pain, popping, or other symptoms, however, your orthopedic surgeon will probably recommend arthroscopic surgery.
Surgical Treatment
Knee arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures.
During arthroscopy, the surgeon makes a few small incisions around the knee and inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and the surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
Most arthroscopic surgeries are done on an outpatient basis. Patients usually go home a few hours after the procedure.
Anesthesia. To prevent pain during the procedure, the patient is given anesthesia. There are different types of anesthesia: Local and regional types of anesthesia numb just parts of the body, and the patient remains awake. General anesthesia puts the patient to sleep. Most children are given general anesthesia for arthroscopic surgery.
Surgical Procedure. Treatment will depend upon the type of discoid meniscus.
- Complete and incomplete discoid menisci with no tears are typically treated with saucerization, a procedure in which the meniscus is cut and re-shaped into a crescent.
- If the discoid meniscus is also torn, the surgeon may perform a saucerization and then trim away the torn portion. Some tears can be repaired with stitches, rather than removed.
- The hypermobile Wrisberg form of discoid meniscus is saucerized if necessary, then stabilized with stitches to sew the meniscus to the lining of the joint.
After surgery, your doctor may put your child's knee in a brace or a soft bandage wrap. He or she may need to use crutches for a short period of time. Very young children may need a wheelchair for several weeks because they do not have the balance or strength to use crutches.
Once the initial healing is complete, your doctor may prescribe physical therapy exercises to restore strength and mobility. These may be done at home or with a physical therapist.
Most patients return to normal daily activities after arthroscopy for a discoid meniscus. However, if the entire meniscus was removed, there is a risk for continued pain and, potentially, early arthritis.
Surgeons sometimes recommend that patients avoid sports that overstress the knee with cutting type movements. These include soccer, tennis, basketball, and football.

- 1995 (4) (entfernen)
- Nonvacuum Preudoparticles, Quantum Tunneling and Metastability (1995)
- It is shown that nonvacuum pseudoparticles can account for quantum tunneling and metastability. In particular the saddle- point nature of the pseudoparticles is demonstrated, and the evaluation of path-integrals in their neighbourhood. Finally the relation between instantons and bounces is used to derive a result conjectured by Bogomolny and Fateyev.
- BRST-Invariant Approach to Quantum Mechanical Tunneling (1995)
- A new approach with BRST invariance is suggested to cure the degeneracy problem of ill defined path integrals in the path- integral calculation of quantum mechanical tunneling effects in which the problem arises due to the occurrence of zero modes. The Faddeev-Popov procedure is avoided and the integral over the zero mode is transformed in a systematic way into a well defined integral over instanton positions. No special procedure has to be adopted as in the Faddeev-Popov method in calculating the Jacobian of the transformation. The quantum mechanical tunneling for the Sine-Gordon potential is used as a test of the method and the width of the lowest energy band is obtained in exact agreement with that of WKB calculations.
- 2D quantum dilaton gravitational Hamiltonian, boundary terms and new definition for total energy (1995)
- The ADM and Bondi mass for the RST model have been first discussed from Hawking and Horowitz's argument. Since there is a nonlocal term in the RST model, the RST lagrangian has to be localized so that Hawking and Horowitz's proposal can be carried out. Expressing the localized RST action in terms of the ADM formulation, the RST Hamiltonian can be derived, meanwhile keeping track of all boundary terms. Then the total boundary terms can be taken as the total energy for the RST model. Our result shows that the previous expression for the ADM and Bondi mass actually needs to be modified at quantum level, but at classical level, our mass formula can be reduced to that given by Bilal and Kogan [5] and de Alwis [6]. It has been found that there is a new contribution to the ADM and Bondi mass from the RST boundary due to the existence of the hidden dynamical field. The ADM and Bondi mass with and without the RST boundary for the static and dynamical solutions have been discussed respectively in detail, and some new properties have been found. The thunderpop of the RST model has also been encountered in our new Bondi mass formula.

INDIANAPOLIS — When Adam Vinatieri comes to Foxborough with the Colts Saturday, it will be his first New England playoff experience from the opposing sideline.
In a lot ways, he knows what to expect.
It's been eight years since Vinatieri put one through the uprights for the Patriots.
But in the four trips he's made to Gillette Stadium since he left for Indianapolis, the crowd has been relatively consistent.
"I think it's always the same," Vinatieri said. "I think they're fanatical fans, like we have."
He knows the memory of two Super Bowl-winning kicks will only last so long with Patriots fans once the game starts.

Ghostface Killah - Yapp City Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, we want all that shit, we'll take all that shit
Sneak up on 'im right, feel me?
Soon as he turn around, just yapp this nigga
I got everything, youknowImean?
They ain't gotta do nothing, but just search them bitches
Let's go...
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
This is a stick up, I want y'all to lift y'all skirts
I mean shirts, take ya hoodies off, jackets and watches
Before you put ya hands on the wall, empty ya pockets
Fix ya face, this a robbery, nigga, respect the juks
Stop shaking, you making me nervous, I know that you shook
The fuck is that sticking out from under ya foot?
Move, turn ya head around, nigga, you better not look
Stacks, you hiding from Tone? I'll shake, rattle ya bones
You killed him! Nah, hit him with the back of the fucking chrome
In the dark, yo, I do this alone
That's the reason why I don't shake hands, in case I gave you a phone
That's a buck fifty, long hickey, when I strike I do it quickly
Creep up on my victims swiftly, make it hard for you to stick me
Cuz if we shoot it out, cuz if I die tonight you coming with me
Bitch-ass nigga, eat through ya chest like some fucking whiskey
BOY! Gut him like a pig in the dark
Or auction off ya bitch body parts
BOY! Poison a guard dog, disarm the alarm devices
Throw ya head in vicegrips (yeah)
BOY! Or stick a hot blade through his heart
Get to sticking niggaz for the right prices
BOY! Yeah, this is priceless.. GET 'EM!
Aiyo, I post up, packed the shotti
Black mags in lobbies, with red dots, to detach the body
If you a boss, why ya cash is sloppy?
This a Staten Island burglar gang, ock, not no Ave could stop me
I'm on the road, not no massive robbery
When it come to that dough, it over flow like paper bag tsunamis
I take shit, lumberjacks and Tommy's
Niggaz passing out bombs like Culpepper, so I pass behind 'em
My black glove, black mask, requirements
Sent the order to Trife Dies', and he gon' send 'em fast, they flying in
These cowards couldn't clash our lion's den
That forty-four mag'll twist ya aves and the cav you flying in
We hoping out cabs like Iron Men
It's hard to believe how niggaz leave with no bag supplying sense
Empty cuz my staff is hiring
Canine dogs with felonies duck fast when firing
Aiyo, we carry arms like a octopus
Shorty's strapped with the mac inside her pocket book
Blowing all lots of kush
Dark tints on the V so the D's can't spot the crooks
Just throw ya hands in the sky, don't try to stop the juks
Face down, lay on the ground, no sudden moves
Yo, then, take off his Timbs and get the work out his shoes
Rip off the pockets out his shoes, make sure he come out his used
I hear sirens, plus the cameras is watching, it's time to move
If you lolly-gagging, word to mama, I'll body bag 'im
Leave his frame riddled with holes, looking like Gotti had 'im
Bragging, juked, in the wagon, laughing
We slid a few blocks down, this kid was frozen
With stones so we decided to yapp 'im
I put the tool in his mouth, said "You don't want the action
These ain't E pills, nigga, these is fuckin aspirin
Bean, blast 'im, Homo' get his girl for his cash and
Yo, E, go stop the whip, they 'bout to witness a slashing" (BOY!)

Basic Rules for an Impressive & SEO compatible Web Design
This is a guest post by Audrey Zucker. Audrey is the Managing Director at Mozaik, an Online Marketing and Web Development Agency specialising in providing SEO and Digital Marketing services. Mozaik has been awarded several times with web design and development prizes since 2005. Feel free to follow her on Twitter.
"Less is more". With a generation of web users that absorb as much visual information in one day as our parents did in months, there is only one secret: be precise and concise. You will gain in readability and of course in loading times.
Menu & Navigation: Strategical Positioning of the elements
- Place your Menu on the top of the page. This is what a user needs in order to access your main pages at once and it should contain the main keywords of our SEO strategy inside the links. Place it Horizontally for less items and vertically for listing or for large menus.
- Submenus should be as visible as the main menu but at the same time they have to be placed strategically. Don't ask yourself why you don't receive traffic in the sub sections of your website if they just can not be seen. Also note that even if some of the submenu items are "no followed" or they are less important from SEO perspective this does not mean that those pages are not interesting for the visitors.
- Avoid as much as possible the third level menus. Note that it is usually better to implement the content in an attractive and easily accessible way in the second level pages or by using listings.
- Work on your internal linking strategy. Placing direct links from your homepage to the most important pages of your website can help both the SEO and improve conversion rates.
- When possible avoid using the " back" button because it really shows that your navigation has issues and that the website was not seriously conceived according to the content and despite all rules of usability. Instead you should use a breadcrumb navigation.
Colours: Ensure Brand impact and Readability
Too much info kills the info and this applies also to colors. Revise your company profile and accordingly define a main set based on 3 to 4 main colors that match harmoniously. You need:
- 1 intense/flashy color that will stand out and that will be used for the links and for the H1-6 tags.
- 1 readable colour for the main text & content. It should be relaxing for the eyes and easily distinguished from your background.
- Up to 2 unique "signature" colours that will communicate the image of your website. Those colours have to marry harmoniously with the 2 previously selected.
- Don't forget to choose dynamic and "clean" colours for titles and links and "cool" tones for the background and text. If you need more colours, use only variant tones based on the main color set.
Graphics & Fonts: it should not cost your SEO when 90% of users won't see the difference
Surfing on the wave of the minimal trend that invaded the world of design, there will be some elements in your web design that will make the difference, while some others that only you will be able to see.
Just think seriously what is your target group and how much sensible it is to loading time versus advanced design. Then ask yourself: is it really necessary to use this element? The answer is not systematically no, since some details will really make a difference and differentiate your website from the mass. It's all about balance.
- Ask yourself if a special font or visual effect that you insist on placing is actually worth using a Flash or a JavaScript library that costs you a lot in loading time.
- If you have to use it, make sure it will not affect your SEO campaign or your internal linking strategy.
- If you have to go for a Flash menu, make the proper HTML menu replacement. This can really help your SEO and improve your indexing.
- Prefer beautiful buttons and original details than heavy image backgrounds, huge images or gradient backgrounds.
- Keep it cool with the images and don't confuse your visitors with too many visuals.
- Don't forget to use the main keywords of your SEO campaign in the image names and in their alt descriptions.
Applying the above tips will not only provide you a clear and modern design but also they will help you structure your website information and proceed to the organization of the content. Moreover you will be able to positively affect your SEO by reducing the loading time and by improving the indexing process of your website.

SEO marketing is such a huge help for small companies as well as huge ones. This is because SEO marketing is like promoting your product or service though word of mouth except that it is done digitally. If done right, it could mean huge sales growth. No wonder why almost everybody is doing it right now.
Ethan Hinson
As another best practice. Ensure that you always use a Title Tag with keyphrases towards the front of the tag. This is probably the most important aspect of on page SEO. Your META descriptions should also contain an exact match keyword and be around 170 characters.
In my experience the META descriptions do not have as much effect on keyword ranking, but can dramatically increase organic search click through rates since they are shown to users in search results.

The Senate has just voted to end debate on a bill that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military, essentially clearing the measure for passage and signature by the president.
Lawmakers voted 63 to 33 to end debate on the current policy, put in place by former president Bill Clinton, informally known as "don't ask don't tell."
The Senate could vote on final passage of the measure as early as today but it will most likely happen on Sunday or Monday.
"We are on the verge of ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' for good," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after the vote "This is one of those moments in our history when we stepped up and squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
I urge you to consider the alternatives.
So the indoctrination DOES work! Desensitize the youth to what is a perverse lifestyle.
Yeah, and I spent a lot of years working in San Francisco, so I do have a perspective on the issue. Sick, sick, sick.
It would have happened one of these days. With the way the younger generation, hopped up on NEA propaganda, thinks about queers and queer marriage all of this is all but inevitable. Doesn't make it easy to swallow though.
The FNC and reporters are reporting from a "postitive thing" perspective.
This is not "historic" this is a blood vote that will live in infamy.
The ONLY viable GOP candidate will be one who can pass the do ask do expell homosexuals litmus test.
if Palin can't pass that then she has no place in the WH.
"Open gays are going to find a hard road to travel. "
Perhaps you can answer my conjecture - will the most egregious examples just get fragged?
If you are offended, by all means feel free to take yourself somewhere else.
"If you look at the text of the actual bill; there not much to it. You just get one sentence saying that the particular law from 1993 is no longer valid. What does that mean, that the military will then be able to set its own commonsense policies about homosexuality? No, I dont think theyll let that happen."
—And any time a gay isn't promoted: cries of "Discrimination!"; Lawsuits; screeching Daily Kos headlines; protests in San Francisco...
sad but true
All well and good, but did you serve yourself?
I would amend gay "people" to gay "males". It is my unscientific observation as a current active duty Sailor in the USN that the overwhelming majority of gays serving today are female. I don't see gay men as finding the rigors of military service to be particularly attractive. Lesbians, on the other hand, tend to find the masculinity of military culture comfortable.
This whole debate over DADT has been centered around prancing, lisping "queens" turning our military into a haven for effeminate gay males while in reality, females are most affected by any policy regarding gays in the military. And while there are certainly gay males serving in the military, I know, I've served with some, there's a lot more lesbians.
in the heat of battle, cooler heads always prevail....get on the phone, be calm, there is still a chance before the next vote, if one want to yell, I still say, carry on....mho
"Cooler heads prevail" huh. I guess no one ever told General Patton about that myth.
you ASSUME.
From what I have seen of students, the acceptance of homosexuals is a joke and vastly over estimated.
Maturity changes heads of mush.
there is no national protection with homosexual remaining in the miliatry.
Yup. Remember when we were growing up, homosexuality, transvestitism and other similar conditions were considered psychiatric disorders?
Another ramification of this is this: It's probably not only going to be homosexuals. Has anyone noticed how often transexuals, gender neutrals, transvestites and other groups are included under the umbrella of homosexuality?
This is just half a step away from open homosexuals in the military. All it takes is a rider amended to another bill quietly in the middle of the night.
Watch for it.
Are the Christian Chaplains now in your "sites", hypocrite?
you're talking college kids who are brainwashed.
try the military or join it and you'll see the majority of younger guys do not want repeal and no I am not old either
maybe not, but Patton did have some trouble for some of his actions, so carry on.
I agree with this; but does that include laws of the land to enforce what we KNOW is morally correct, but which is a religious morality? And should that be applied to every sin?
I've always wondered why there wasn't more on an outrage about our military soldiers having "shore leave" -- adultery and fornication is a sin, but only certain types of adultery seem to be of concern in the military.
I oppose this repeal, because I see this as an attack on our culture by a militant group concerned more with changing normalcy than getting along or being allowed to serve.
Still, this was the inevitable result of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". It used to be illegal to be gay in the military. When we changed that to "be gay, just don't let us know about it", we set up for today -- a generation of gay soldiers as "proof" it doesn't matter.
When in fact, the key I think was that gay sexual activity was banned; I think we need to still prohibit all gay sex between military members, and that will be the biggest fallout from repeal.
Do us a favor and crawl back under your rock!
You are really unhinged.
After over 100 years of service, no member of my family will ever serve again. It is now against our religious beliefs.
Yes you will - do what? Donate ALL your money to traitors?
Your post said "I will donate all my money now to any traitor to the military voted for this in the GOP".
I was just jokingly pointing out your rambling post made no sense.
but they cannot get into skirts after work,
They cannot hold and or kiss on base.
They cannot have homosexual parties.
They cannot have their homosexuals flags flying.
They cannot have sex or parades on base.
Do you get where this is going?
I wonder if the strong opposition to gays in the military would be seen if all we were talking about was lesbians.
After all, there's little chance that a lesbian is going to have sex with our military men; there was actually more "impact" I would think with a heterosexuai female in that regard.
Plus, it seems the offensive sex act which causes the most medical issues, is a male act.
You are the one who is unhinged. Make sure to say hi to your son's gay best friend today. I bet you are so proud.
No kidding...they worked for me and under DADT I did not ask and even when I knew, I did not tell. It is what OPEN homosexuality will bring with it. You really do not have a clue do you?
"Yup. Remember when we were growing up, homosexuality, transvestitism and other similar conditions were considered psychiatric disorders?
Another ramification of this is this: It's probably not only going to be homosexuals. Has anyone noticed how often transexuals, gender neutrals, transvestites and other groups are included under the umbrella of homosexuality?
This is just half a step away from open homosexuals in the military. All it takes is a rider amended to another bill quietly in the middle of the night.
Watch for it."
You are right,We have these Queer lovers in our own party anything is possible.
FOX has been a disgrace over the homosexual agenda.
Same as Hannity etc
if they showed the video's of their freak parades and told the viewers of their agenda like fisting in schools then the public would actually wake the hell up
I assume the non answer indicates that you never bothered to serve yourself. Thanks for clarifying where you're coming from.
Without knowing your age, there are waivers availble up to the age of 45, why not join and get a clue.
yes that is what said I will donate all my money to the defeat of these clowns traitors to the military.
So then, what options does the situation leave us to consider? A rhetorical question, indeed, but one that must now be openly asked.
I know that which must be done, but most would never support the inevitably of that action necessary to stop the progression of America's destruction.
The corruption, which proves itself a constant within our body politic, requires a direct unrelenting confrontation, and not via the ballot; but hardly a soul will ever take up the task. That refusal to sacrifice all for the greater good is why America is now certain to collapse as a nation—and deservedly so.
There are only four sins that "cry to heaven" for vengeance: Murder of the innocent; the unnatural vice of Sodom; the persecution of widows and orphans; and defrauding a worker of his just wages. This nation's leaders are guilty of all four, the people refuse to take action—and God despises cowards.
I agree with you. The big news today is the fact that Dream died.
I think it's a joke to keep accomodating every group, but that's where we are. DADT was really weak anyway. A milquetoast policy passed by an immoral Pres. The real question is: Why are we talking about it? We need to get back to merit only. I don't care ultimately if someone is gay. Can they do the REAL job??? If not, go be gay as a civilian.
Today: Dream died. That's the headline. The republic turned back the real threaty. The distraction of DADT didn't work.
I was purposely ambigous for a reason dumbass!
I was purposely ambiguous for a reason dumbass!
I wouldn't doubt it for a min. We don't have enough problems retaining people after 5-6 tours in Iraq/Afghan, we need this to spark the exodus into overdrive.
Watch the military empty out. And I don't blame them one little bit.
Not knowing if someone's covertly studying you in the shower as a potential sexual partner is going to cause a LOT of problems. But like I said in another post upstream, they Soldiers/Sailor/Marines and Airmen will have gone through several bouts of brainwashing, propagandistic diversity training so eventually they'll be the ones to bend under the mental lash. And all under our tax dime.
Say good bye to the military that's supposed to kill people and WIN.
I believeyou are right.I just do not see a bunch of hardcore marines dealing with this very well in battle.They may want to be careful of what they ask for because the end result may not be what they bargained for.
And that reason is...?
Let him...let him veto it SEVERAL times...
Mods, I personally do not want to see this thread pulled, but the decision will be yours and not mine. I walk away now, have something else I must do, I tried. If this thread fails to stay up because of standards, this will be a loss.
we're not talking about about hundreds of thousands of homosexuals joining but we are looking at their activists who will do things to get lawsuits or get some kicked out for opposing them.
The voices of our Marines and vets etc have been ignored because of special interests.
For that this should never be forgot and indeed brought up for the next election.
Oh, but you are wrong after DADT is stopped, the military will not be able to ban any of those things. To do so would be to unfairly discriminate.
Be encouraged, FRiend ... The LORD of the Nations has this to say ...
Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fretit leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.

Agree 100% with you on this. Standards of conduct should not change regardless of the status of DADT.
Your attempt at obfuscation by feigning righteous indignation of the word "faggot" is also amusing and quit hypocritical since you support the very act itself, faggotry. Care to explain your stance on all those "perks".
God has called us to make righteous Judgments....you've renigged on the responsibility before Him to agree that Homosexuality is sin....in doing so you are opposing Him. Individuals cannot sit on the fence when it comes to making Judgment calls. By not making a Judgment call you are then siding with the Homosexual community.

California is the top target in the U.S. for international criminal enterprises that operate from safe havens in Eastern Europe, Africa and China, according to a report being released Thursday.
Along with trafficking in drugs, guns and people, criminals are also turning to cybercrime to target wealthy, innovative businesses and financial institutions in the state, California Attorney General Kamala Harris said in the report.
"California is a global leader on a number of fronts and, unfortunately, transnational criminal activity is one of them," the report states.
Harris said the report is the first to outline the effects of international criminal organizations on California residents and businesses.
She was set to formally release the 181-page report during a news conference with other law enforcement officials in Los Angeles. It was obtained in advance by The Associated Press.
"These organizations have taken advantage of the technological revolution of the last two decades, as well as advancements in trade, transport and global money transfers, to substantially increase the scale and profitability of their criminal activities in California," the report states.
It says California leads all states in the number of computer systems hacked or infected by malware; victims of Internet crimes and identity theft; and the amount of financial losses suffered as a result of online crimes.
The state also is particularly vulnerable to thefts of intellectual property because of its leading role in developing new technologies and mass-media entertainment.
"Many of these breaches have been tied to transnational criminal organizations operating from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Israel, Egypt, China, and Nigeria, among other places," the report states.
California's gross domestic product of $2 trillion, significant foreign trade activity and border with Mexico also makes the state a target for international money-laundering schemes. The report estimates that more than $30 billion is laundered through the state economy each year.
Some is filtered through legitimate businesses or by using virtual currencies such as bitcoin. But the report says backpacks and duffel bags stuffed with cash have been seized more frequently since Mexico began toughening its money-laundering laws in 2010.
Seizures of bulk cash increased 40 percent by 2011 in California, which now leads the nation in the number of currency seizures.
California should alter state law to make it easier for prosecutors to crack down on money laundering, the report says. Unlike federal law, state law currently requires prosecutors to prove that a suspect deliberately carried out a financial transaction in a way designed to hide the fact that the money came from or was used for a criminal activity.
The report also recommends that the Legislature change state law to let prosecutors temporarily freeze the assets of transnational criminal organizations and associated gangs before seeking an indictment. It says the state should also mimic federal law by increasing punishment for people convicted of supervising, managing or financing transnational criminal organizations.
It also calls for the state to devote more money to the state Department of Justice, which Harris leads. That would include $7.5 million to fund five new teams to target international criminals.
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, has proposed creating a California Cybersecurity Commission. His office said AB2200 would make California one of the first states with such an expert advisory panel.
