Male, 17: Do I need a sliding genioplasty/chin implant? (Photo)
I feel like my chin is very small and hurts my profile. I am 17 years old, about to be 18, and would like to hear some opinions on what to do. Am I a good candidate for jaw/chin surgery?
Doctor Answers 2
Assuming your teeth are in proper position, you would appear to benefit from either a chin implant or genioplasty. In younger patients, my preferred surgery is a genioplasty because it avoids the bone resorption that accompanies a chin implant and is a more durable long-term solution.
Web reference: http://www.drjasonhall.com/procedures/facial-rejuvenation/chin-surgery/
Either a chin implant or genioplasty is a good option for you. The advantage of a genioplasty is that no plastic material is required (but screws are used) while the advantage of the implant is that it is a bit less complex of surgery, and has the distinct advantage of providing fullness to the side of the chin (this is an area that thins with aging whcih can actually be accentuated with the osteotomy of a genioplasty). I perform both techniques but would recommend a chin implant in your case.

Have you ruled out EIC?
Aron , Just maybe instead of a middle distant runner you become a long distant one on the pheasant hunts...There is a lot of demand difference between running a triple and a blind vs a days hunt in the field for pheasants...On us and the dogs....I believe we don't take that into consideration when we change our hunting styles..I believe they require different approaches to nutrition for the day at least to keep them in top shape through out the day or days in the field...Steve S
She is genetically sound, EIC is not an issue.
Well I had her looked at by the vet including blood work and everything has passed with flying colors. The vet said that her heart is great, and her blood work was perfect. He feels that she was probably over her limit for the day and her blood sugar dropped causing her issues. He was surprised that she went down the way that I described based on how good of shape she is in, but he said that it can happen to the best of them.
I appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions, I am prepared when we take the field now! She has been out pheasant hunting several times at 2 hour intervals and has done just fine physically so hopefully we are passed this and better prepared to minimize this from happening in the future.
Thanks again!
I first experienced this problem with my 5 year old golden whilst "picking up" on several large shoots in England.It occurred again a few weeks later both at one of the shoots and also in training.
My solution was to offer him water and occasional squirts from a cyclist's water bottle filled with a powdered glucose /water solutiion.
This solved the problem for me .Our vet thought the problem was epilepsy and treated him accordingly but my belief was that my boy just ran out energy ,dehydrated much like a marathon runner "hitting the wall".
It is frightening the first time this happens and in our case he lay shaking on the ground for a couple of minutes or so.Once we got back in the truck with plenty of liquids and rest he was fine in an hour or so.
Triggered by high excitment and lots of work from a dog with a huge prey drive on the mild days of winter.I guess it maybe genetic also, as unrelated other goldies we had at the time did not experience these collapses, however none of the other dogs had the retrieving desire of the big fella.,. In our case it was probably EIC but I"m no expert.
It has never recurred since we stopped "picking up" seriously 7 years ago.
THe big fella is still with us at 13 years.

Almost 30 years ago this bench, below, was the first thing she bought for her garden.
A classic faux bois, the details are rich. Timeless.Her husband said he had been pressure washing it for years, it was time to do it again.
We turned our heads to him, in unison, "No, never again !"
Notice the dreadful mulch? Worst thing about college for landscape design, promoting mulch. This garden now has dwarf sarcoccocca to spread and hold the soil. Evergreen, shade, it blooms fragrantly in February. It was difficult to find, and expensive when found. A victim of the contraction of the retail/wholesale garden center industries. Doubt I'll be putting it into plans in the future as often as in the past.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Our CARPE program is designed to provide a variety of expressive outlets to encourage increased communication and expression of feelings as well as a sense of connection and support. Participation in an expressive art form can help reduce fear and anxiety, encourage self-discovery, manage pain, and assist with rehabilitation. We encourage patient and family participation in our programming to enhance the overall health care experience.
It is also a simple way for patients and families to cope with a very complicated situation. We offer a variety of art methods to patients to encourage creativity and enhance communication during their health care experience including:
Our music therapy program provides our patients with a creative outlet for the physical and emotional challenges they face in their lives. Music therapy aids communication and can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research supports music therapy's effectiveness in reducing fear and stress, facilitating movement, providing emotional support for patients and their families, fostering normalization and providing an outlet for expression of feelings. Music therapy interventions with one of our board certified music therapists may include:
Best of all, music therapy doesn't feel like therapy to our patients, it feels like fun. See for yourself how music therapy helps to heal.
Dramatics and movement are forms of expression that promote physical, mental and emotional well-being through:
You can see the colorful and creative art work of Cook Children's patients and siblings proudly displayed on the walls of the medical center. Children who participate in our Creative Artist in Residence Programme (CARPE) often donate their paintings to us so they may be displayed in the hospital and enhance our environment. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Unfortunately, South Korean designer Jeongmi Lee's lovely space-themed Spacionery office accessories don't exist yet. But NASA put a man on the moon and a robot on Mars—it can certainly make this happen. The Saturn tape dispenser is the more clever of the two designs, with its famous rings recreated in translucent blue plastic orbiting the roll of tape in the middle. But that doesn't mean the Abandoned Planet pen holder isn't fantastic in its own right. With gashes across the rubber planet's surface designed to hold your zero gravity pen, or pencil if you're in Russia. Now where's our Uranus pencil sharpener?—no, wait, that would be awful.

Plus, new footage from The Hobbit. And is yet another old companion joining Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary special? Spoilers ahead! Star WarsWhile he says he's totally on board to return for a Blade Runner sequel, Harrison Ford's more cautious about returning to play Han Solo. On The Graham Norton Show, Ford said that he had "not quite made the choice" about whether to take a part in the new trilogy. In other news, however, he said he'd return to Indiana Jones in a "New York minute." [Moviefone] Advertisement Here's video of both Ford and Benedict Cumberbatch on The Graham Norton Show, both refusing to give concrete answers about any possible roles in the new trilogy:In an interview with Latino Review, Jett Lucas said that the two working titles his father had for Episode VII were "Return of the Sith" and "Rise of the Jedi." Granted, that the names went to Disney with everything else is no guarantee they'll actually be used, but they do tell us the not-entirely-surprising direction that Lucas was planning to go in: a battle between the Jedi and Sith.

I've had the best time playing this character. I'm glad it's all on film and I never thought I could be so nuts in it![Coming Soon]CarrieHere's a new TV spot, with another one at the link. [Comic Book Movie]Thor: The Dark WorldThirty minutes of footage was shown at an event in Beijing, with a description posted, inc Chinese, at weibo.com, translated by thormovies.tumblr.com, and cleaned up by Comic Book Movie:Just watched a 30-minute clip. It is composed of many smaller clips, so the plot is not consistent. It begins with Loki wearing handcuffs in Asgard. Guards escort Loki to Odin's throne where Frigga tells Loki not to repeat his past mistakes. Loki retorts what is "repeat?" To punish Loki, Odin informs him that he will be permanently locked away in a dungeon, and tells him that his brother Thor will be the king. Then the scene cuts to Thor and the Warriors Three fighting in a village. Thor and Sif have a banter. Sif is seen shielding herself from an arrow. The scene concludes with Thor smashing a stone-like creature (Kronan). Next up, a brief dialogue scene between Thor and Heimdall, as they look at the stars from the end of the Bifrost (Rainbow Bridge). Cut to London: Jane is on a date, with a man. Darcy comes interrupts the date by telling Jane that her machine is active once more. A nearby television surprises them with a report that Dr. Selvig has been arrested for streaking at Stonehenge. Cut to dungeon: Loki shouts to his mom, "He's not my father!" Frigga asks him "So, I am not your mother, either?" Loki tries to be calm down, and his emotionless reply, "You are not." Frigga reaches out to Loki, and Loki reaches out to her, but it's revealed that the moment isn't real. (Sorry, that scene is a tad confusing in the transcription) Jane and Darcy are next seen in a police station picking up Selvig. As they leave the station they see birds in the sky disappear, and then suddenly the birds come up from their feet. Dr. Selvig says, "This world is crazier than he I am." Captives from the village scene and Loki, are all shown locked in their cells. One of the village captives pulls a hammer from his belly. He breaks out of his cell and releases the other prisoners. In doing so he kills many of the Asgardian soldiers. When the creature passes by Loki's cell, their eyes meet, and Loki tells him, "You'd better go the left stairs." Next, Dark Elves' aircraft is seen invading Asgard. The Asgardians respond with anti-aircraft weapons. The leader of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, Malekith the Accursed, busts through the Asgardian palace. Cut to Thor, the Warrior Three and Heimdall, having a discussion, trying to figure out how to get Jane out of Asgard. They know that Loki knows the secret passage, so Thor goes to Loki for help. Something happens in which Sif saves Jane, and then we see Jane slap Loki when she first meets him. Heimdall creates a diversion. Guards spot them, so Sif decides to stick around to fend them off. Sif gives Loki a warning, telling him not to betray them. They then come to Malekith's aircraft, where Volstagg sticks around to block the oncoming soldiers. Volstagg also warns Loki not to betray them. Loki, Thor and Jane hop on the aircraft, and then Jane passes out. Something teasing takes place between Thor and Loki, and then when they arrive at some destination all three hop out of aircraft and into some other vehicle. This vehicle is used to take them through the secret passage. When they arrive at the Dark World, with hopes of negotiating a peace, Loki asks Thor to loosen his handcuffs. Thor does so, and Loki quickly draws out a knife and stabs Thor. The God of Thunder rolls down a hillside. Loki follows after him and kicks Thor in the head. Thor calls for his hammer, Mjölnir, as he goes to reach for it Loki cuts off his right hand (bone is plainly visible).[Comic Book Movie]Vampire AcademyHere's a video interview with actress Zoey Deutch talking about her role. [Coming Soon]NoahSpeaking with the DGA, director Darren Aronofsky explained how his big-budget, live-action telling of the story of Noah will use special effects to render all those animals: Advertisement We basically went through the animal kingdom and pinpointed the body types we wanted: some pachyderms, some rodents, reptiles, and the bird kingdom. We chose the species and they were brought to life with different furs and colors. We didn't want anything fully recognizable but not completely absurd eitherIt was a nice badge of honor. I don't think it's the most incredible shot, but I think because of all the hair on the animals it was incredibly complicated for them. They said, 'We can only render it two or three more times so make sure those are exactly right because they take so long and are so complex.'[The Movies]Hercules: The Legend BeginsHere's a look at Kellen Lutz as Hercules in Hercules: The Legend Begins, not to be confused with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's competing Hercules movie.

[Coming Soon] When Robert Kirkman wrote the death of Glenn in the comics, he did worry about the actor who played him in the show, Steven Yuen: Advertisement Advertisement It was really strange for me writing that, knowing that Steven was going to read it. There was a concern like I didn't want Steven to read it and think I was mad at himAnd yet, the events of the comics are not necessarily going to be exactly the same on the show. Yuen himself says:No, there's never reassurances on the show. Obviously, I would like to keep it going as long as possible, but it would be fun to go out that way too. ... At first when I read it I was like, 'Wow.' I thought it was brave. I thought it was terrifying. I actually loved it. I mean what a way to take a beloved character away from the readers, just snatch it away. And Kirkman states that he's a fan of changes, and he hints at what's in store for the Governor this season: Sponsored I sometimes am the loudest when it comes to let's change things up and let's make things different. We're all of the mind that the television show is a different animal, so while we're adapting these stories we do want to keep things fresh and new for the television audience just like it was fresh and new with the comic book audience the first time they read it, so I feel like those changes are important.We're doing some very new and interesting things with The Governor in Season 4, as you'll see. ... The new season is about the continuing progression of these characters and their lives, so while we're still in the prison, it is a very different prison than what we've known thus far, and they have kind of built a little pocket of civilization within those fences.More at the link. [Huffington Post] Andrew Lincoln says that most of Rick's story arc this year is driven by Carl and Judith:Most of the story arc for Rick is driven by children, by Carl and Judith. [The] central theme throughout this whole season is his responsibilities as a father pulled against his responsibilities as a good leader of the group – in spite of the new setup and regimen. It's the central thrust of this season: the boy becoming a man and the father accepting it. You meet them in a much happier place, and Rick's become present in Carl's life. He's a hard father, but he's a fair and loving father. What happens this season – as all parents undergo – is you have to start to listen to your children because they can educate you at times.More at the link. [TV Line] Advertisement The guess is that Norman Reedus is joking about who will be Daryl's love interest this season:I think in season 4, he and the Glenn character, I think they really have a lot of romantic time that they spend together, and alone time. And I think, you know, it is a prison and I think that that's probably where his character is going to go. Maggie? Who's Maggie? You know what I mean? It's Glenn and Daryl from here on!See the rest of the interview in a video at the link. [Entertainment Weekly]ArrowHere's the synopsis for episode 2x02, "Identity" and a promo video.

[Buddy TV]American Horror Story: CovenWe'll be seeing Fiona taunt Delphine LaLaurie with fried chicken, two deaths by alligator, and a flashback that takes us all the way back to 2012. [E! Online]Once Upon a Time in WonderlandWe know from the premiere that Charming's been poisoned, but Josh Dallas says that's going to be occupying his character for a while: Advertisement Advertisement As we know, dream shade is a nasty, nasty thing, so he's going to have a very large secret on his mind, and he's going to keep that from everyone. The great thing about this first half of the season, for everyone and particularly David, now that we go forward, is what that does to his integrity, and how he then compromises his integrity. And through what means does he compromise his integrity? What's great about this first half of the season is that we all have this common goal, to get Henry, and we all have these obstacles, which are really ourselves, and Peter Pan, of course. It's about how he goes forward with this, and how he's going to get out of it. It's going to continue over a few episodes. It's bad news. It's real bad news.He also teases what Charming and Hook's relationship might look like over the season, which actually seems to gel with the premiere showing the two in agreement more often then not:All of these characters are leaders in their own right. They all had very different specific ideas of how to do something. Hook is a veteran of Neverland, so he's going to know things about the island that certainly David doesn't know. So, at times he's going to have to stand back and listen to that, and who knows? Maybe as we go forward, maybe they come together and there's the greatest, most beautiful bromance you've ever seen in your life.[K Site TV] Advertisement On the other side of that possible bromance is Colin O'Donoghue, who says we'll see the past between Pan and Hook in a flashback:At some stage, you will get to see what's gone on in the past, 'cause remember he was in Neverland for 100s of years or whatever. Obviously, you get to see that the Pan in this is quite a nasty character, really. Traditionally, Hook, I guess, is the bad guy. But, their relationship is complicated. It's not as straightforward as Hook wants to kill Pan. He's tied to him in ways I can't actually say at the minute. It's interesting the way that they've done it.He also says we'll continue to see a softer side of Hook:What you see is a man who is sort of struggling with — he's had 300 odd years of living with hatred and all that kind of stuff. Now, he's desperately trying to figure out if he wants to let go of that or not. It's an incredibly difficult thing to do when that's the only driving force that's you've had for so long.So, you see a man who's having a massive internal struggle and I definitely think there's a side of him that desperately wants to do the right thing, you know, but within the confines of being Captain Hook and a pirate and being quite selfish. That's kinda where he's at at the minute.[Buddy TV]Once Upon a Time in WonderlandExecutive producer Zack Estrin says that, at least for now, we won't be seeing an epic crossover between the original Once and Wonderland: Advertisement Advertisement Right now in the beginning we're going to make sure that each show lives on its own. Wonderland is its own show, but down the road, who knows? You may see a familiar face or two making their way over to Wonderland. Certainly there are some who started in Wonderland who could always return.On the list of those who could return is Regina's mother, Cora, who was also the Queen of Hearts. [E! Online]The OriginalsA good sign for the new show: the CW has ordered three more scripts. The CW must be feeling pretty confident in the ratings so far. [Deadline] Advertisement Below is the first photo of episode four, "A Girl in New Orleans, featuring a standoff between Klaus and Davina, a powerful witch who does the bidding of Marcel. Here's the synopsis of the episode:With the annual Dauphine Street music festival around the corner, Davina, itching for a night out, convinces Marcel to let her attend. Marcel cautiously obliges but asks Cami to keep a watchful eye on Davina. Agnes (guest star Karen Kaia Livers) convinces Hayley to visit a mysterious doctor in the bayou where she makes a shocking discovery. Meanwhile, Klaus takes a special interest in Cami, who reveals some alarming information about her past, and a determined Rebekah is on a mission to get to the bottom of a recent strange encounter involving Elijah.[Zap2It] Tomorrow PeopleThe CW's also ordered three more scripts for this series, so good signs for the new genre shows. [Deadline] Advertisement Advertisement Executive producer Phil Klemmer explained why the story from the original series works now:For me, it's more a story about a generation that could be any generation who feels like they're innovating on whatever their parents did and their teachers did, and it's a story about struggle between generations.

His search will take him to faraway lands and force him to reevaluate everything he knew about the world and his own history.

January 2009 Indie Next List
"Ann Brashares once again shows her gift for creating distinctive and wonderfully well-rounded characters in this new story of three friends during a summer of emotional growth."
— Katherine Bryk, Learned Owl Book Shop, Hudson, OH
summer is a time to grow
Polly has an idea that she can't stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She's setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it's going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won't have to watch her friends moving so far ahead.
Jo is spending the summer at her family's beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she'll see at high school come September. She didn't count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn't count on her family at all. . .
Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products.
It is a new summer. And a new sisterhood. Come grow with them.
About the Author
Ann Brashares lives in New York City with her husband and their three children. She is the author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants novels, a series that reached #1 on the "New York Times" bestseller list and inspired two major motion pictures. Visit her at www.annbrashares.net.
Praise For…
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, November 10, 2008:
"Brashares gets her characters' emotions and interactions just right."

The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases—primarily by the burning of fossil fuels—has increased the blanket of heat-trapping gases in Earth's atmosphere. Global temperatures have risen approximately 0.8ºC (1.4ºF) above pre-industrial levels, and this small increase is already causing significant adverse effects. These effects—documented by the world's leading climate scientists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—include rising sea levels, intensified storms, higher global temperatures, and severe droughts and floods that are already having adverse impacts on human health, food supplies, and ecosystems, as well as national economies.
The United States Senate ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, joining over 180 nations in a commitment to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."
According to the IPCC, global emissions must peak and begin declining before 2015. There is strong scientific consensus that warming of more than 2ºC (3.6ºF) above pre-industrial levels will lead to irreversible damage to our planet. The pre-industrial concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, expressed as CO2-eq (CO2 and other greenhouse gases and aerosols), was 280 parts per million (ppm). It was 375 ppm in 2005 and is increasing each year. We must start now to limit CO2-eq below 450 ppm, adjusting the target periodically as necessary, to reflect our understanding of the rapidly evolving science of climate change. Eventual stabilization at even lower concentrations of CO2-eq may be necessary.
The United States must stop the "Business as Usual" emissions of greenhouse gases and impose aggressive emission reductions starting in 2010. We support adoption by the U.S. of a firm, verifiable cap that reduces emissions at least 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80-95% below 1990 levels by 2050. Even with these aggressive reductions in the U.S., the global decrease in emissions may lag, as shown in the graphic, resulting in dangerous warming. Furthermore, part of the emitted CO2 remains and accumulates in the atmosphere; thus, the atmospheric concentration will continue to increase until the global rate of removal exceeds the rate of release.
The U.S. has met great challenges before—such as World War II and space exploration. Since we are responsible for much of the
increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases, we need to accept responsibility for being the leader in solving the global climate challenge. Our efforts will transform our way of life by creating a new clean-energy economy and will allow the U.S. to maintain its technological leadership.

- - URGENT HELP blood parrot cichlid
URGENT HELP blood parrot cichlid Hi, My Blood Cichlid is growing a bubble out of her but, Please help me release her pain. Here's a link and an image. Thank You very much. http://www.geocities.com/redkid_nine/Picture10.jpg http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/9867_Picture10_1.jpg[/img] |
Oh wow that doesn't look very comfortable... I'm not really sure. Can you answer a few things before someone can help you out? What size tank is he in? Whats the water parameters? what kind/how many tank mates. How long has this growth been there? Is it preventing him from passing waste? How long have you had this guy? And finally is it possible to get a better picture with more detail of the growth? |
RE:URGENT HELP The aquarium is 20g. He used to live with a smaller parrot but sadly killed it. I just started adding salt water and changing about 25% of the water every week and the water is kept warm at all times. The lump is been there for at least one or two months; but about a day or two it started turning bloody. It looks like he is able to discharge feces. Recently he's been swimming sideways and trying to swim correctly. He eats normally and is of a bright color, thus his scales seem to be flaking a little. This are closer pictures of the mass. http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?im...cture11sj0.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?i...cture15ct7.jpg these are from a couple weeks ago. http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?i...cture15ct7.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=85208585eb0.png |
I have sent a pm to bettababy. I think this is some kind of tumor but I'm not really sure. Bettababy will be able to help you out and give you advice for your fish. Best of luck! I hope everything works out ok. |
Hi, I'll do what I can to help, but will be honest... the photos aren't real clear and there isn't much information provided. My first question is: How big is this fish? Then I also need to know what the water params are for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH? If there is medicating that needs to be done I will need the water params in order to find a safe treatment plan for you. And can you tell me the water temp? (this is also important in deciding medications) It's hard to tell in the photos if this is a bubble or a solid mass. There are a lot of possibilities for what this could be, which makes it difficult to diagnose something like this via internet. The appearance of the red veining is evidence of a bacterial infection, but the cause of that infection is not so obvious. The infection would be secondary based on your description and the photos. When the fish is passing feces, can you watch to see if there is any sign of little (very tiny) red worms protruding from the anal opening? It's going to be very important to get as accurate of a diagnosis as possible before we choose medications. As much as I would like to offer you hope, at this point all I can say is to get the info needed to me asap and we will take it 1 step at a time. I make no promises, this is a very advanced situation... but I will do all I can for you. |
gosh that looks not nice at all. :( hope he pulls through. |
RE: He/She is about 4 inches long. NO3- 40 NO2- .05 PH-7.5 ALK- 120 TH- 120 ImageShack - Hosting :: picture028oh3.jpg ImageShack - Hosting :: picture024tw0.jpg ImageShack - Hosting :: picture022du7.jpg ImageShack - Hosting :: picture027kb9.jpg No worms were seen, but the red spot is gone now and the skin is pealing. Her/His feces is not in strips, it is more like cloudy junk at the bottom of the aquarium. I started giving it medicine : Parasite Clear (Tank Buddies) also. |
please someone help. His scales are falling off the spot and now speading out! what can I do???? |
She can't swim or keep staight anymore. i continued the medicine, the aquarium salt, temp 85. A clear bubble has formed, she is eating normal but can't swim or stay staight, she lays on her side where the bump seems to be bigger. |
Blood parrot ciclid I was just "googling" blood parrot ciclids on lineage when I came upon your message that I felt I had to respond to. I may be too late to answer. From the previous replies and photos, I surmise that your poor blood parrot ciclid has is a "cloacal" herniation. Basically the insides of the fish, namely the intestines, is pushing out through a weak area of the cloaca. If it gets too large, it will interfere with the buoyancy of the fish. It is not uncommon among fish as I have experienced a few times myself over a couple dozen years especially early on. There is a greater chance of developing it when fish are overfed! Parrot ciclids have voracious appetites (I have a few in my tank). There is no medical treatment. If it is small and recognized as such, limiting feeding amounts may regress it, but the potential for reoccurence is there. The most humane thing to do now is to euthanize the poor creature if it has not expired already. Parrot ciclids are a man-made hybrid resulting in many deformities physically and internally. It is not a "healthy" strain. Some purists feel such a breeding is an atrocity while others find them strangely attractive. Though it is sad to lose a fish, there will be others. Do yourself a favor and buy another one. Good luck. |

- This article is about the city. For other similar uses, see Omashu (disambiguation).
"The Earth Kingdom city of Omashu! I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi." |
— Aang to Sokka and Katara.[1] |
Omashu is the second largest city in the Earth Kingdom and the capital of one of its states. Only outdone in size and importance by Ba Sing Se, Omashu was one of the last great strongholds of the Earth Kingdom during the Hundred Year War, and continued to supply the Earth Kingdom Army with troops and supplies until it was taken by Fire Nation forces in the closing months of the great war. The gates of this bustling metropolis are guarded by an army of earthbenders. This city is also well known for its famous delivery system powered by a combination of both earthbending and gravity.
The tall mountain peak on which Omashu was founded is located in the Kolau Mountains in the southwestern Earth Kingdom. It rises high out of a deep chasm and was created by earthbenders several centuries prior to King Bumi's reign. Being built on this mountain provides the city with one of its best defenses; the only way to reach the gates of Omashu is across a long narrow bridge of stone that spans the sheer gorge.[3]
Previously ruled by Bumi,[1] Omashu was conquered by the Fire Nation during the War and renamed New Ozai.[4] However, during the Day of Black Sun, the powerless firebenders were expelled from the city, and it was once again reclaimed by the Earth Kingdom.[5]
An ancient legend states that a man named Shu and a woman named Oma, each from one of two warring towns, met atop a mountain that divided their peoples and fell deeply in love. Although their relationship was forbidden and it was dangerous for them to continue meeting, the couple found a way to continue seeing each other in secrecy. By observing the badgermoles, the couple became the first earthbenders. Using their new powers, they created a great labyrinth which only they could navigate. This allowed them to meet secretly, while anyone else who tried to follow them would become lost forever in the ever shifting tunnels.[6]
One day Shu did not come to meet Oma, nor would he ever again. Shu had been slain in the war between their two villages. Oma, stricken with grief and sorrow, performed a terrifying display of earthbending power that could have easily destroyed both villages. Instead, she declared the conflict over and demanded that the two villages live in peace. The warring villages joined together and built a new city to honor the couple's love. This city eventually grew into Omashu, the name being derived from the combination of their two names. The short epitaph found on the lovers tombs deep within the cave reads only "Love is brightest in the dark".[6]
During the conquests of Chin the Conqueror, almost the entirety of the Earth Kingdom, Omashu being no exception, fell into the hands of this tyrannical warlord. The city remained under his rule until Avatar Kyoshi refused to allow Chin to conquer the peninsula she called home. Chin fell to his demise in the sea below when he stubbornly refused to move as the rocks underneath his feet crumbled into the sea. His death signaled the end of the war.[7] Later, during the time of Avatar Aang, the city was ruled by King Bumi.
Omashu's main industry was producing weapons and supplies for the war effort; civilians had developed a complex and efficient mail system used to transport goods throughout the city that employed earthbending and gravity using extensive ramps and chutes. Bumi and Avatar Aang used the ramps as slides in their childhood, something the latter invited Sokka and Katara to try one hundred years later.[1]
Fire Nation rule
- Main article: Surrender of Omashu
Sometime after Aang, Katara, and Sokka's first visit to the city during the War, Omashu was seized by Fire Nation forces. King Bumi, always pragmatic and enigmatic, surrendered the city to the Fire Nation forces without a fight. The city was rechristened New Ozai in honor of Fire Lord Ozai by his daughter, Princess Azula, during the following spring.[4]
The entire city underwent massive reconstruction to better suit the needs of the Fire Nation. The construction of a massive statue of Fire Lord Ozai at the city's peak began, and the palace was completely leveled and replaced with the metal palace architecture favored by the Fire Nation. This may have been in part due to the fact that the old palace was designed specifically for earthbenders and as such most rooms could only be accessed through the use of earthbending. This would make entrance and exit into some of these rooms impossible for non-earthbenders. Many of the ordinary buildings were commandeered by the Fire Nation and turned into factories with chimneys protruding the top.
Ukano became the Governor of New Ozai, replacing the deposed King Bumi, who was taken into custody after surrendering the city. However, many citizens and soldiers were able to escape and form an underground resistance group.[4]
During the Day of Black Sun, the imprisoned Bumi saw that the time to liberate the city and release himself from imprisonment had come. Following that, he proceeded to defeat the powerless firebenders and single-handedly reclaim his city from the Fire Nation; he even went as far as defiling and destroying the recently completed statue of Ozai, destroying the New Ozai palace, while laughing maniacally and eating jennamite. This was vital to the eventual liberation of the Earth Kingdom from the Fire Nation.[5]
Anarchy in the Earth Kingdom
Following Earth Queen Hou-Ting's death and the fragmentation of the Earth Kingdom, Omashu and its state continued to resist any attempts by Kuvira to integrate it into her empire for three years.[8] Shortly after the Earth Kingdom's transformation into the Earth Empire, however, Omashu yielded to her regime[2][9] and remained under her control until she was arrested following her failed attempt to annex the United Republic of Nations.[10]
The city of Omashu is ruled by a king who exercises absolute control over his subjects. During the time in which Omashu was conquered by the Fire Nation, a governor was appointed by Fire Lord Ozai himself. This governor exercised both civilian and military control in the name of the Fire Nation central government, as demonstrated in his blunt ordering of all the citizens to be evacuated.[4] He was answerable only to the Fire Lord or the Royal Family.
Layout and description
The city of Omashu sits within the Kolau Mountain Range, surrounded on all sides by steep canyons and an enormous gorge. The city's three gates are composed of massive blocks of stone, each five feet thick and over thirty feet tall.[11] As a result, the gates can only be opened by skilled earthbenders who guard its only entrance. The city itself is built on a number of hills. The palace sits on the tallest hill, which is centered behind some other hills. The city has thousands of houses for ordinary citizens and nobles as well as hundreds of shops, restaurants and pottery workshops. Most types of businesses in Ba Sing Se would be present in Omashu as well. The city also has a complex mail system, in which packages are transported using earthbending and gravity.[3] Buildings in Omashu are generally built from stone, unlike most buildings in the Earth Kingdom, and have green tiled roofs.
During the Fire Nation occupation of the city, the stone was in the process of being paved over and replaced by steel; scaffoldings were a common sight. The city produced pollution as a result of the Fire Nation's technology, which produced a large amount of fumes. A massive statue of Fire Lord Ozai was constructed in the center of the city. Soldiers also patrolled the city, enforcing the new laws on the citizens. A banner depicting the Fire Nation emblem hung over the gateway leading to the city's entrance. In addition, the original earthen gate was replaced by a metal one, enabling non-earthbenders to access the city.
Royal Palace
- Main article: Omashu Royal Palace
The Omashu Royal Palace was home to the city's king prior to the city's annexation by the Fire Nation and was located at the top of the Omashu's central mountain peak. It was a palace consisting entirely of earthbending-operated doors and would be impossible for anyone, with the exception of an earthbender, to navigate it.
Omashu sewer system
The Omashu sewer system is a series of interconnected tunnels underneath the city of Omashu, used to transport water and sewage out of the city. The sewage system is a very dark and dank place full of all sorts of filth and unusual critters including the leech-a-pillar and purple pentapus. The sewer system ends at the bottom of the gorge and is one of the only ways to sneak in and out of Omashu. Aang knew about these secret passages from past experiences playing there with Bumi.[3] Aang navigated the system accompanied by Katara and Sokka when they wanted to enter the city during its occupation by the Fire Nation.[4]
New Ozai Royal Palace
After the Fire Nation seized control the city, the former royal palace was replaced with a new one constructed to house the governor and his family. It was situated at a lower elevation and exhibited a grand display of traditional Fire Nation architectural features. The building was three stories tall and had a tiered structure mimicking that of a temple, the uppermost tier being the smallest. Shingles covered the roof, which was red in coloration and lined by a yellow trimming along the edges. Off to the palace's sides were mail delivery lines, and the entire structure was elevated above the ground.
The palace featured many spacious balconies, which were made from yellow stone and had numerous golden ornaments that lined the railing. Ash-colored pillars supported the balcony on the second floor, and behind these pillars was a similarly toned wall bearing the building's main entrance. The second story also had a dressing room, where the palace's many cushions and baby toys were kept, though often scattered along the floor. At least two stuffed animals were stored in the room, one being a teddy bear. At the room's center lay a table where a bowl of assorted fruits would be left for the palace's residents to eat, and beside it was a brown cabinet.[4]
Mail system
- Main article: Omashu delivery system
The Omashu mail system is a linking slide that continues for miles in the city. Earthbenders move the packages around to a different slide which can travel to any place in the city. Aang and Bumi used it as a "super slide" just before the start of the War. One hundred years later, Aang used the system as a slide with Katara and Sokka, although this time, he was a bit wild, using airbending to increase their speed.[1] Aang utilized the chutes again when trying to recover the captured King Bumi from Azula.[4]
Notable figures
- † indicates deceased.
- Based on the ancient writing in "The Cave of Two Lovers", the Traditional Chinese way to write Omashu is 奥瑪舒. 奥瑪 means "mysterious carnelian", while 舒 is a Chinese surname meaning "relax". In Simplified Chinese, Omashu is 奥玛舒.
- Omashu was built in a similar way the air temples were built, both being carved out of a mountain.
- The shape of Omashu is similar to that of the Chinese pictograph character for "mountain" (山).
- Omashu also resembles the pyramids at Giza.
- There are no "take-backsies" in this kingdom.[1]
- It is implied that Omashu's social system is structured to provide equal opportunity for all of its inhabitants, as everyone can go anywhere, unlike Ba Sing Se.[12] This is further evidenced when King Bumi went on the mail system without anyone protesting him being there as a king.[1]
- The origin of Omashu's name is similar to that of the Polish capital, Warsaw. According to legend, a fisherman named Wars fell in love with a mermaid named Sawa who lived in the Vistula River, and together they founded a town which was later named Warszawa (Warsaw).

* Bayer offers $34 per share vs $23.19 Friday closing price
* Part of drive to boost non-prescription drugs business
* Bayer's Q3 adj EBITDA up 2 pct, broadly in line with poll
* Shares up 0.3 pct, in line with sector
FRANKFURT, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Germany's Bayer is to buy U.S. vitamins maker Schiff Nutrition International for an agreed $1.2 billion as it seeks stable sources of growth to complement its more volatile prescription drugs business.
Many pharmaceutical companies are keen to expand in non-prescription drugs as a steadier, albeit less profitable, counterweight to prescription medicines, where there are risks of, for example, clinical trial failures and patent expiries.
Bayer, Germany's biggest drugmaker, said on Tuesday it was offering $34 per share in cash to Schiff shareholders, a 47 percent premium over Friday's closing price of $23.19.
The deal values Schiff at about 3.1 times its forecast annual sales, around the upper end of typical deal multiples of 2-3 in the non-prescription drugs industry.
``The deal appears consistent with Bayer's strategy, and although the premium paid appears rich at first, our reaction is it isn't outlandish,'' Bernstein Research analyst Jeremy Redenius said.
In August, Aspen Pharmacare bought some GlaxoSmithKline non-prescription drugs for about two times annual sales.
At 0830 GMT shares in Bayer, which invented Aspirin and synthetic rubber, were up 0.3 percent at 66.73 euros, broadly in line with the STOXX Europe 600 healthcare index.
While Bayer expects to benefit from new prescription drugs like Xarelto for stroke prevention, it has struck a series of a small and medium-sized deals to tap growth in markets like animal health, crop protection and over-the-counter drugs.
The strategy shows signs of bearing fruit as the group raised its full-year earnings forecast in July, in part because of strong demand at its farming pesticides business.
On Tuesday, the group posted third-quarter underlying earnings in line with expectations, as more prescriptions of its drugs offset a weaker plastics business, and reiterated its outlook for the full year.
Bayer said it would benefit from Schiff's strength in product development and brand recognition, and that it expected the deal to close by the end of 2012,
``The Schiff portfolio includes strong brands in three of the largest health supplement segments including joint Care (Move Free), cardiovascular health (MegaRed) and immune support (Airborne),'' it said.
Bayer chief executive Marijn Dekkers took the post in 2010 with a reputation for being able to handle transformational takeovers, but the Schiff deal is the latest in a line of small and medium-sized acquisitions.
In September, Bayer agreed to buy Teva's U.S. animal health operations for up to $145 million, following the purchase of AgraQuest, a developer of fungi-killing bacteria to fight plant disease, for at least $425 million.
Bayer said third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 2.2 percent to 1.85 billion euros ($2.39 billion), broadly in line with the average estimate in a Reuters poll.
Reported net income, however, dropped a worse-than-expected 17.8 percent as the company set aside a further 200 million euros for litigation in connection with its Yasmin/Yaz birth control pills, which DZ bank analyst Peter Spengler said added a ``negative touch''.
U.S. health regulators in April added warnings to the labels on the popular class of birth control pills that includes Bayer's Yaz and Yasmin, to show they may raise the risk of blood clots.
Bayer said on Tuesday it had so far agreed to pay a combined $750 million to settle 3,490 legal claims that Yasmin caused blood clots, and such injuries are alleged in a further 3,800 pending cases.

No power source is needed—the AirCurve directs sound from the iPhone speakers through a "coiled waveguide" that, according to Griffin, produces a sound akin to a set of desktop speakers. To be honest, I'm pretty skeptical about that claim, but at least it won't break the bank at only $20. Although, that is probably more than I would want to pay for a dock that may only to a decent job of amplifying sound and is not capable of charging your phone (unless you buy a separate dock cable).

Quality pre-K education is a prerequisite for prosperity
Published 10:50 am, Sunday, September 2, 2012
Look into the eyes of a 3- or 4-year-old Texan. Do you see a future engineer, a teacher or business owner, or do you see an unemployed, high school drop-out?
Our children have the ability to dream big and aspire to do great things. Our homes and preschools are filled with aspiring astronauts, firefighters, teachers and computer scientists.
Unfortunately, if current trends continue, by 2040, one out of three Texas workers will not have a high school diploma. That's not dreaming big, that's a Texas-sized nightmare. It's a formula for broken dreams, dead end jobs and a strain on the state's economy.
While state lawmakers must continue to grapple with tight budgets and limited revenues for a wide range of state priorities, we shouldn't be adding to their plate by subjecting the state to some very real, direct and substantial long-term costs for a generation of Texas dropouts. For example, Texas high school dropouts are costing Texans $377 million every year in Medicaid, prison expenses and lost tax revenue.
Education is a prerequisite for economic growth, and investing in quality education at all levels ought to be a core tenet of economic development and a moral imperative. And, it all starts with early childhood education.
How can we best invest limited tax dollars to ensure we're placing the youngest Texans on a pathway to long-term success in school, college and careers?
For every dollar Texas invests in a quality pre-kindergarten program, we can expect to yield anywhere from a $3.50 to $7 return.
The great news is we don't have to look far for a program that pays the kind of return on investment that any business owner could appreciate.
While there are instances of quality early childhood education around the nation, the Texas School Ready! (TSR) Project, developed by the Children's Learning Institute at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, is the best. It's the only pre-kindergarten program in Texas that has undergone rigorous external evaluations and has been recognized by national publications for its success in improving outcomes for at-risk youth.
All pre-kindergarten programs are not created equal, and TSR! proves that point.
By blending cutting edge research based curriculum, innovative monitoring of a child's progress, dynamic mentoring and ongoing professional development, TSR! is able to demonstrate a link between program quality and improved child outcomes.
Students who graduate from the Texas School Ready! Project score more than 22 percentage points higher than the statewide average on the state-mandated early reading assessments given in kindergarten.
By arriving at kindergarten ready and able to learn, we'll see less retention and remediation on down the line. TSR! already is helping in that regard. Since the project was implemented statewide, Texas has saved more than $35 million thanks to a decrease in kindergarten and first grade retention.
When state budget writers return to Austin next year, let's send a clear message that not only should we fully fund the Texas School Ready! Project at the Texas Education Agency and at the Texas Workforce Commission, but we also must consider working to expand the reach of TSR! to serve more children across the state.
A few pennies per dollar going toward a quality control program will result in taxpayer dollars spent wisely. We're already spending the money on pre-kindergarten now, and we should make sure that we're doing so wisely and for effective programs that deliver results.
By investing in high-quality, proven pre-kindergarten programs like TSR!, Texas can make sure that every 3- and 4-year-old not only dreams big but also fulfills those dreams.

Anxiety, or the reaction to a perceived danger, is a response that differs from one animal or human to another -- or so scientists thought. Now researchers at Tel Aviv University are challenging what we know about stress, and their study has implications for helping clinicians better treat victims of terrorism or natural disasters.
Prof. David Eilam and his graduate student Rony Izhar of Tel Aviv University's Department of Zoology are spearheading a study designed to investigate the anxieties experienced by an entire social group. Using the natural predator-and-prey relationship between the barn owl and the vole, a small animal in the rodent family, researchers were able to test unified group responses to a common threat.
The results, which have been reported in the journals Behavioural Brain Research and Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, demonstrated that while anxiety levels can differ among individuals in normal circumstances, surprisingly, group members display the same level of anxiety when exposed to a common threat.
Standing together
Prof. Eilam says that this explains human behavior in response to trauma or terror, such as the citizens of New York City in the days after the 9/11 terror attacks, or after natural disasters such as the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. These are times when people stand together and accept a general code of conduct, explains Prof. Eilam.
Prof. Eilam and his fellow researchers measured the anxiety levels of three groups of ten voles each. They placed the voles in a peaceful environment and measured how much time each vole spent out in the open and then in protected areas. The more time a vole spent in protected areas, the higher the anxiety level, though this varied among individual voles.
Then the researchers exposed the voles to a common threat, placing the voles' cage within a barn owl enclosure, and attracted owls to the cages by placing meat on top of the cage. The voles' experience, says Prof. Eilam, was one of being attacked. After a night of exposure to their natural predator, the voles were tested once again for anxiety. Now, researchers found that each vole was equally stressed.
According to Prof. Eilam, this result is surprising compared to the control group, in which each vole went through the stressful night in the owl's enclosure individually. When facing their predators alone, there was no common level among all thirty of the voles when it came to their stress levels. While they showed heightened anxiety, it was directly in relation to their base level anxiety response, as measured before the first experiment.
"It's not a question of being more or less afraid," says Prof. Eilam. "Under threat, members of a social group will adopt a common behavioral code, regardless of their individual tendency towards anxiety."
The hero effect
Another interesting finding, says Prof. Eilam, was the difference in group stress levels among an all-male group, an all-female group, and a mixed-gender group. Typically, such experiments have been done with all-male groups, he explains -- females are affected by factors such as menstrual cycles and other gender-specific features can change behavior. But in this case, Prof. Eilam and his fellow researchers wanted to know what would happen if they added female voles to the mix.
Though both female and male voles experienced heightened anxiety when exposed to barn owls in an all-female or all-male group, their response to stress changed in the mixed groups. The female voles in the mixed group exhibited a standard heightened anxiety level, says Prof. Eilam, but the males did not.
Instead, male voles remained relatively "calm," perhaps a result of their protector role within vole populations. "Males are responsible for protecting the nest," he explains. "This is an adaptive behavior that reflects work division within the family."
While the studies focused on rodents, Prof. Eilam says that this research provides a model with which human group behavior can be assessed.

The Conversion Of Harry Truman
November 1991 | Volume 42, Issue 7
The Truman era, however, proved to be the end of the Solid South, at least of a South solid for the Democrats. (To be sure, not until the 1960s, when Lyndon Johnson pushed through far-reaching civil rights legislation, would the most serious cleavage occur, but Truman is the one who opened the fissure that would never be mended.) In 1948 four Deep South states had broken away to the Dixiecrats; in the next election, four more Southern states defected to the Republicans. So by 1952 eight of the former Confederate states had abandoned the Democrats. As one scholar has said: "The significant fact is that a Democratic President proposed to Congress the enactment of laws to improve the status of the Negro. This was heresy; the whole logic of the South's loyalty to the Democratic party was the assumption that the party was pledged to leave race relations in the hands of the states. When the Democratic party ceased to be the party of white supremacy, the deepest basis of Southern solidarity had been destroyed."
In one respect, his opponents in the South misperceived Truman, for he never wholly abandoned the racist view he had absorbed from his family or his sympathy for the Southern tradition of localism. Even after blacks hailed him as their champion, he continued to sprinkle his private conversation with terms such as nigger. He not only opposed the 1960s sit-ins but thought they might well be Communist-inspired. In 1961 he told reporters that Northerners who went south on Freedom Rides were meddling outsiders bent on stirring up mischief where they did not belong, and in 1965 he called the Selma to Montgomery march "silly" and Martin Luther King, Jr., a "troublemaker."
Yet Truman's foes had good reason for thinking him their nemesis, because if he had a Confederate lineage he also felt intense loyalty to the Constitution and the Union. He especially revered the memory of Andrew Jackson, a Southerner but a nationalist. Eventually he was even able, despite his family background, to bring himself to cherish the Great Emancipator.
Shortly after departing the White House, Truman reflected: "Old Abe Lincoln is … a president I admire tremendously. In a way, it's surprising … because I was born and raised in the South … and a lot of southerners still don't feel that way about him at all. And that included the Truman family, all of whom were against him. Some of them even thought it was a fine thing that he got assassinated.
"I realized even as a child that was pretty extreme thinking or worse; let's just call it dumb thinking, or no thinking at all. But it still took me a while to realize what a good man Lincoln really was, with a great brain and even greater heart, a man who really cared about people and educated himself to the point where he knew how government should work and tried his best to make ours work that way. I felt just the opposite of the rest of the Truman family after I studied the history of the country and realized what Lincoln did to save the Union. That's when I came to my present conclusion, and that was a long, long time ago.… Lincoln was a great and wonderful man in every way."
Truman's reading in history and in documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights had led him to question the assumptions on which he was raised. He acted as he did not because he believed in the social equality of the races, not because he was "anti-South," but because he took solemnly the oath he had sworn to sustain the Constitution.
As a border-state Democrat Truman carried within him the conflicts that divided not only Missouri but the country. He had been nurtured on the valor of Robert E. Lee, the iniquity of the Union raiders, the melancholia of the Lost Cause. Only someone who understood himself to be a Southerner could have felt such empathy for the traditions of the South. Yet he also had a schoolboy's love of the history not of a section but of a nation, took pride in having been a doughboy in the Army of the United States of America, and viewed the Constitution as sacred text. That nationalist theme, a minor one when he was a child, was the one that prevailed in the end. As a consequence Truman permanently altered the character of Southern politics. For the first time since Reconstruction, he made civil rights a proper concern for the national government, and for the first time ever the Democratic party became the main protagonist for the rights of blacks. The South, and the nation, would never be the same again.

ForumsGetting Things Done®Next Actions and Stars
Next Actions and Stars
Author | Message |
chasmro |
I'm moving my list to Toodledo.
I'm reading the posts and getting the hang of how people are using it. My question though is handling next actions - specifically hot items that don't need to be done on a certain day or time, but have higher priority above anything else that is not scheduled (e.g. a meeting). Often such tasks are part of a bigger project, so I want to don't want to separate things out, but I do need to flag them in some manner that tells me to spending time on X instead of Y or Z. (Even if Y or Z are much more fun. :)) How are you all flagging these? The Star function or some other way? Thanks. |
Anders |
I use stars for this sort of thing, but reserve them mainly for short term things (Starred is sort of my manual Hotlist). For everything else, I usually just use the "Top" priority level, which I reserve for only the most critical tasks.
In general, to keep the fun stuff separate from the more frivolous but fun stuff, the two things that mainly do it for me are Priorities, and Folders which for me are areas of my life. ~Anders |
