Picking Apart Joyce Meyers Thoughts on Tattoos…
By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Joyce Meyer, is a prominent leader, in the world. Concerning matters of religion. As a Christian, that she claims to be, I find her thoughts, very disturbing.
I was once one of those who looked to her, as inspiration, because she found Christ. But if she found Him, her thoughts, show, she departed from Him. They show she has departed from His law, and they show she promotes hate, to others who do not agree with her. I base this on the following video: And if by some chance it mysteriously disappears, look it up on youtube. Joyce's thoughts on tattoos.
I know she is well liked. I know, this may anger, or upset those that follow her, but I am to please God, not man, or any person, and so are you!
The King James scriptures tells us that there will be those, that are blind, and leading the blind. And this describes her exactly.
Joyce Meyer, starts her sermon, in this video, on the comparison between holiness, and legalism.
This is what Gods word, says about holiness. She does not use this scripture, but I will so you can see what the King James says about holiness.
"And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein."
Isaiah 35:8 KJV
Her thought, right away, attacks religious people. Because they know having a tattoo is not accepted in the scriptures. She stereo types those that want to obey God. That know truth, that see the error of doing some things. And she calls it "legalism."
She refers to Isaiah 44:5 and makes reference that its o.k. to have a tattoo, basically because God did it. Which is wrong, the scripture does not promote marking of the skin, it talks about just writing. Subscribing.
She says that it says; That it is tattooed; "I belong to the Lord". It does not say that. See it from a Holy King James bible. But this is what it says:
"One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel."
Isaiah 44:5 KJV
It does not say tattoo, and she says it does. Please see this.
Again, she makes a reference, that God is promoting it, because He tattooed your name on his hand. The scripture does not say that. It says "graven" How can anybody compare how God writes?
And to mock, what it says from one scripture to the next, is very dangerous. When she gives an example of God putting earrings, on one, group, but getting angry with the next. Where is the fear of God? To see, His ways are not our ways. She is judging God Himself, in His motives.
Leviticus 20:28 is a reference she gives, its not there. That scripture does not exist in my King James bible. Check. Look it up, listen to the video very carefully. Its not there as a point of reference. About making marks for the dead. That she gives.
That scripture reference is not specific to tattoos, but Leviticus 19:28 is:
"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
Leviticus 19:28 KJV
A tattoo is a mark on the flesh.
I think what bothers me so very, very much, is first of all she is not using a Holy Bible. As a teacher, as a so called pastor of the word of God, her word is corrupt. And I won't debate it, but her scripture references, are from bibles, that have been changed. Corrupted. She uses references of scripture, but they are not from the King James. As she quotes scripture. And if this does not show anybody, how wrong it is to use different bibles, then I don't know what to say to you.
She admits, she picks what she wants, and leaves what she wants out of scripture. Listen to the video. She says it quickly but she admits she does that. And I am paraphrasing her, When she says: "we pick and choose what we want and leave out what we want." Well she does, she leaves out truth, Gods truth.
She promotes getting a tattoo, and also promotes pushing "religious" people off the cliff. She states she is on the verge of getting a tattoo, and actually defying what Leviticus 19:28 states.
But to promote throwing people off of a cliff, and get it over with….That's evil. That's not love. To make religious demons mad? Who gave her that authority? It's just wrong folks.
Does she not know her words are recorded in the book of life? It is for all of us. We will be judged.
The subliminal message, in there is to attack others, who do not think or believe like she does. And again, that is just pure evil. Christ told us, in John 13:34-35, that we would be known by the love we have for one another. This is what my King James bible says:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
John 13:34-35 KJV
The whole motive of her subliminal message is to disobey God. To make herself the example to have pretty clothes, make up, and a tattoo.
In the King James scriptures it talks about vanity. And if she gets a tattoo, she is using herself for you to be disobedient in that. Because she is making herself even here in the video an example.
"And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them."
2 Kings 17:15 KJV
She talks about Laughing, well, the scripture says, it is better to be sorrowful. Then to have laughter. She talks about people and that they want to see you happy? Well, food for thought…What about what God wants? See, you need to see that, she totally disregards the incentive to try and please God. And that's just wrong.
"Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better."
Ecclesiastes 7:3 KJV
Her whole message, really does not promote, drawing close to God. To repent. To obey God, and His laws. To see the error of ones ways. It actually is defiant. Prideful, to say one's ways, are right, and there is a great danger to that. Because God is not mocked.
See we really cannot have joy, or peace, if we are wicked. Or more importantly as God has called us, to be in holiness. There is no holiness, without Gods law. Without obedience. Without repentance. And a changing of ways. No where does she call those to repent. And how can we please God, to be forgiven without repentance? Or grow?
A true sense of soul searching, with repentance, a hunger for God, and His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, to please Him, is the only one who can do that.
To even take her thoughts to heart, is so disturbing to me, because I have learned the hard way to get right with God, one needs to take His laws to heart.
Now the concept between religion, and relationship with Christ is this. Religion is rules, regulations, traditions, made by men, and groups. But if you are being legal, which God has given us His law, to follow, that is relationship. We can only have relationship with Christ, when we repent, obey God, and pray, and seek Him in that relationship. Pleasing God. Avoiding religion, well what she promotes, is Joyce Meyers religion.
I think what also bothers me, and that's why I am writing about it, is basically she is promoting, dismissing the law, because it makes one act in legalism. And that's like saying, I am right, you are wrong, to God Himself, and it's a turn off to be obedient to God.
She challenges the "law" And that's dangerous, these are Gods laws. He is legal. And holiness cannot be obtained, unless we follow Gods laws. So again, call me legal. Because I love His law. I see that it protects me. I see, that by trying, and yes I fail, but I see, that if I attempt to obey Him, He will extend grace. But you cannot disregard the law.
The thought, many Christians have is that the law, is abolished. That we are free from the law. God did not flip flop from the Old Testament, to the New Testament. He does not change. We do. The only law we are free from, is the law of sin and death. Not Gods commandments.
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
Romans 8:2 KJV
There are many scriptures that attest to being legal with God. And that if we even keep Gods law, we are happy.
PROVERBS 29:18 King James
You know, I want to be happy in God's law, so call me legalistic.
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (Psalms 40:8 KJV)
He tells us, not to forsake His law. So that means if you want to please God, you get legalistic. Because He is the example to follow.
For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. (Proverbs 4:2 KJV)
The doctrine she teaches us, warns us according to King James scripture, is don't follow people like that. I will not follow Joyce Meyers. I follow Christ. She is a terrible role model for Christ. And one should never follow a person any way.
No matter what, they propose. We are to follow Christ. This is why you need to get the truth yourself. Get a King James bible, and learn. What Gods laws are, yourself. Thats the only way you will grow.
And that is going to upset some, here, but I state it because its wrong.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (Romans 16:17 KJV)
I don't judge anybody that might have a tattoo, I really don't. I have met some very nice people who have tattoos, even family members. But if we really want to please God, we know what the scripture says.
We know, if we want to clean the slate, we repent. God won't hold it against you, if you repent. But the direction she takes in this, is very self-serving. And that comes from hell itself. The devil was always about the devil. Self.
What she proposes… is that It is not humble, it is not remorseful, to know and admit, the error of one making a mistake, in even getting a tattoo. The scriptures, when they are truth, will bring light, to help us see the error of our ways. But I see nothing like that, from her message.
And its sad. I don't judge her, but I am called to warn, even the righteous. Who think this is right.
Its not right folks, its wrong. And if you think I am judging. Read Ezekiel 33 from a King James it says we are to warn. I am warning here. I am loving my brothers and sisters in Christ, so they know the difference. Love warns. You would too, if you saw someone near the fire. The fire of hell itself. If you knew the truth. Her thoughts are very disturbing.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: (Proverbs 6:23 KJV
In conclusion, knowing, that the truth sets us and let the redeemed of the Lord say so. I have been redeemed, so I say so.
I may very well get challenged by some of you, who support her, love her, and you know what you need to do, is pray for her. Arguing with me, will not resolve this. I know what the Holy Scriptures says.
But I won't debate or argue about this with anybody. I will ignore comments on this. I know that I just have to write this. My motive is to please God. And if it really helps someone to see the truth, then praise be to God. I praise God anyway…
Thank you.
Just ask yourself, with what I have shared, and what you can see, from the video yourself, why would anyone promote to you, that you disobey God? Look at the fruit folks, this is how you will know them.
Matthew 7:20 WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM.
Feel free to share this link you might just open someones eyes, to truth.

I had a couple of undersized paintings that I kept swapping out on this main wall in my living room, but I have always felt that the wall needed something with more "weight" to it. Well, lookie here! An entire gallery of floral prints from the 40's, 50's & 60's! I got six of them at one garage sale last month for $5 and got the two on the far left today at another sale for .50 ea. It's a lovely "floral arrangement" for $6.

Those of you who know me, know that I am CRAZY for garage sales! The following pictures are from the opening weekend of the garage sale season. The buys were incredible. I usually limit myself to $20 max per excursion, unless there is a wonderful big-ticket item that I fall in love with, in which case I'll spend the next couple of week's allotment if I have to. (But then I have to stay home the next couple of weekends! Boo!) Well, the junk...er...treasures you see in this photo cost me no more than $20 TOTAL and I even came home with a bit of change in my pocket! (Click on any photo to enlarge.)
The priciest piece was the 3-tier what-not shelf at a whopping $5. There are 3 copper buckets that fit in 3 holes on the bottom shelf, for plants I think.
The old market scale was $3, lamp .50, tin toy $1, spool .10.
I got 2 sets of vintage lemonade pitchers with matching glasses for $1.25 each. All the nic-nacks were .05-.25 each.
Vintage golf purse, $1. Pastel cottage painting, .25. Lot of vintage ribbons and hankies, .25.
Awesome leather cowgirl boots (a perfect fit!) $2.00! And a gorgeous, vintage plaid taffeta prom dress with crinoline, .50!
Large paint-by-number hunting scene, .50. Silver-toned floor lamp with marble base, $2. Large silverplate compote, .75. Rusted blue metal childs garden chair, .50.
A week of garage sale-ing with my beautiful mother.....PRICELESS!!!!

What can you buy with a dime?
Remember the 5 & 10 stores of long ago? When I was a kid we called it the "Dime Store." My kids can't believe we used to pay a dime for a candy bar that was NOT just "fun size." I guess their kids will marvel at the thought of the "Dollar Store." Well, in the little town I currently live in, one thin dime can buy lots of sweetness at the local rummage sales!
Like a sweet little vintage chalkware doggie barely 3" long. He is currently curled up on my bathroom shelf!
A dime will also buy you a beautiful 11" blue vase by California Pottery in satin finish with only a tiny fleabite on the lip!
Or how about a lovely vintage valentine still in it's cellophane wrapper?

Happy Hunting!~

The Only Blasphemy
The Only Blasphemy
John Long
At speeds beyond 80 mph, the cops jail you. I cruise at a prudent 79. Tobin drove 100 - did so till his Datsun blew. It came as no surprise when he perished attempting to solo the North Face of Mt. Alberta. Tobin never drew the line. His rapacious motivation and a boundless fear threshold enamored him of soloing.
I charge towards Joshua Tree National Monument, where two weeks prior, another pal had tweeked while soloing. After his fall, I inspected the base of the route, wincing at the grisly blood stains, the grated flesh and tufts of matted hair: soloing is unforgiving. Yet I mull these calamities like a salty dog, considering them avoidable. Soloing is OK I think; you just have to be realistic, not some knave abetted by peer pressure or ego. At 85, Joshua Tree comes quickly, but the stark night drags.
The morning sun peers over the flat horizon, gilding the countless rocks that bespeckle the desert carpet. The biggest stones are little more than 150ft. high. I hook up with John Bachar, probably the world's premier free-climber. John lives at that climbing area featuring the most sun. He has been at Joshua for two months and his soloing feats astonish everyone. it is winter, when school checks my climbing to weekends, so my motivation is fabulous, but my fitness only so-so. Bachar suggests a Half Dome day which translates as: Half Dome is 2,000ft. high, or about twenty pitches. Hence, we must climb twenty pitches to get our Half Dome day. In a wink, Bachar is shod and cinching his waist sling from which his chalk bag hangs. "Ready?" Only now do I realize he intends to climb all 2,000ft. solo. To save face, I agree, thinking: Well, if he suggests something too asinine, I'll just draw the line.
We embark on familiar ground, twisting feet and jamming hands into vertical cracks; smearing the toes of our skin tight boots onto tenuous bumps; pulling over roofs on bulbous holds; palming off rough rock and marvelling at it all. We're soloing: no rope. A little voice sometimes asks how good a quarter-inch, pliable hold can be. If you're tight, you set an aquiline hand or pointed toe on that quarter-incher and push or pull perfunctorily.
After three hours, we've disposed with a dozen pitches, feel invincible. We up the ante to 5.10. We slow considerably, but by 2:30, we've climbed twenty pitches. As a finale, Bachar suggests soloing a 5.11, which is pretty much my wintertime limit... when I'm fresh and sharp. But now I am thrashed and stolid from the past 2,000ft., having cruised the last four or five pitches on rhythm and momentum. Regardless, we trot over to Intersection Rock, the 'hang' for local climbers; also, the local for Bachar's final solo.
He wastes no time and scores of milling climbers freeze like salt statues when he begins. He moves with dauntless precision, plugging fingertips into shallow pockets in the 105 degree wall. I scrutinize his moves, taking mental notes on the sequence. He pauses at 50ft. level, directly beneath the crux bulge. Splaying out his left foot onto a slanting rugosity, he pinches a minute wafer and pulls through to a gigantic bucket hold. He walks over the last 100ft. which is only dead vertical.
By virtue of boots, chalk bag, location and reputation, the crowd, with its heartless avarice, has already committed me. All eyes pan to me, as if to say: Well?! He did make it look trivial, I think, stepping up for a crack.
I draw several audible breaths, as if to convince myself if nobody else. A body length of easy moves, then those incipient pockets which I finger adroitly before yarding with maximum might. 50ft. passes quickly, unconsciously. Then, as I splay my left foot out onto that slanting rugosity, the chilling realization comes that, in my haste, I have bungled the sequence, that my hands are too low on that puny wafer which I'm now pinching with waning power, my foot vibrating, and I'm desperate, wondering if and when my body will seize and plummet before those heartless salt statues, cutting the air like a swift. A montage of abysmal images flood my brain.
I glance beneath my legs and my gut churns at the thought of a hideous free fall onto the gilded boulders. That 'little' voice is bellowing: "Do something! Pronto!" My breathing is frenzied while my arms, trashed from the previous 2,000ft., feel like titanium beef steaks. Pinching that little wafer, I suck my feet up so as to extend my arm and jam my hand in the bottoming crack above; the crack is too shallow, will accept only a third of my hand. I'm stuck, terrified, and my whole existence is focused down to a pinpoint which sears my everything like the torrid amber dot from a magnifying glass. Shamefully I understand the only blasphemy: to willfully jeopardize my own existence, which I've done, and this sickens me. I know that wasted seconds could ... then a flash, the world stops, or is it preservation instincts booting my brain into hyper gear? In the time it takes a hummingbird to wave its wings - once - I've realized my implacable desire to live, not die!; but my regrets cannot alter my situation: arms shot, legs wobbling, head ablaze. My fear has devoured itself, leaving me hollow and mortified. To concede, to quit would be easy. Another little voice calmly intones: "At least die trying ..." I agree and again punch my tremulous hand into the bottoming crack. If only I can execute this one crux move, I'll get an incut jug-hold, can rest on it before the final section. I'm afraid to eyeball my crimped hand, jokingly jammed in the shallow crack. It must hold my 190lbs, on an overhanging wall, and this seems ludicrous, impossible.
My body has jittered in this spot for millennium, but that hummingbird has moved but one centimeter. My jammed hand says "NO WAY!," but that other little voice adds "might as well try it." I pull up slowly - my left foot is still pasted to that sloping edge - and that big bucket hold is right there ... I almost have it," I do!," and simultaneously my right hand rips from the crack and my left foot flies off that rugosity; all my weight hangs from an enfeebled left arm. Adrenalin rockets me atop that Thank God hold when I press my chest to the wall, get that 190lbs over my feet and start quaking like no metaphor can depict.
That hummingbird is halfway to Rio before I consider pushing on. I would rather extract my wisdom teeth with vice grips. Dancing black orbs dot my vision when I finally claw over the summit. "Looked a little shaky," Bachar croons, flashing that candid, disarming snicker.
That night, I drove into town and got a bottle, and Sunday, while Bachar went for an El Capitan day (3,000ft.), I listlessly wandered through dark desert corridors, scouting for turtles, making garlands from wild flowers, relishing the skyscape, doing all those things a person does on borrowed time.

Personal loans are one of many types of loans you can borrow from a bank. These loans are typically general purpose loans that you can use at your discretion. Personal loans are often more difficult to get and have strict qualification requirements. If you're thinking about borrowing a personal loan, here are some things you know about them.
Personal loans are unsecured.
That means the loan doesn't require you to use an asset as collateral.
So, if you default on a personal loan, the lender can't automatically take a piece of your property as payment for the loan. This is the primary reason that personal loans are more difficult to get. The lender doesn't have any asset to seize if you decide you can't make loan payments anymore. Even though the lender can't automatically take your house or car, it can take other collection actions. This includes reporting late payments to the credit bureaus, hiring a collection agency, and filing a lawsuit against you.
Personal loans have a fixed amount.
The amount of personal loans ranges anywhere from $1,000 to $50,000 and depends on your credit rating. The better your credit score, the more money you can borrow for a personal loans. Some banks have a low cap on the amount of personal loan you can borrow. For example, you may be able to borrow only a maximum of $10,000 personal loan. You may be able to take out higher loan amounts at a bank you already have a relationship with.
Personal loans usually have fixed interest rates.
The interest rate is locked and doesn't change for the life of the loan.
Like the loan amount, interest rates on personal loans are based on credit rating. The better your credit score, the lower your interest rate. Lower interest rates are ideal because it means you pay a lower cost for borrowing the loan. Some personal loans come with a variable interest rate that changes periodically.
Personal loans a fixed repayment period.
You have a set period of time to repay your personal loan. Loan periods are stated in months, e.g. 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60. Longer repayment periods lower your monthly loan repayment, but they also mean you pay more in interest than if you had a shorter repayment period. Your interest rate may also be tied to your repayment period. For example, you may have a lower interest rate with shorter repayment periods. There may be a penalty for paying your loan off early.
Applying for a Personal Loan
It may be easier to get a personal loan from a bank you already have an account with. The bank will probably want to know what you're going to use the money for and may even have a better loan for your needs. As with any other loan, it's important to choose personal loans wisely and only borrow what you can afford to repay.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu spoke at the National League of Cities conference Monday. Apparently it was not newsworthy enough to mention on the department's news website.
However, C-SPAN was there. I came in late on the cable broadcast, but the entire presentation is available on its website.
Chu's talk was the first 40 minutes of the 75 minute afternoon session. This is a pretty illuminating talk, in terms of showing both the Administration's policies and his own personal philosophy. It made sense, it was consistent with policy and his career. In general, the Nobel Prize winner spoke like a science geek, particularly when he said spending more R&D on energy research will help America correct its energy imbalance.
The only troubling thing was that at the end, when he started talking about Americans having a moral obligation (as in World War II) to sacrifice their personal desires (e.g. 0-60 in 6 seconds) in the name of the greater good. The most charitable way to read this is that he's using the bully pulpit to get people to do the right thing. A more troubling view would be that the Administration plans to coerce people to do what the government thinks is right, moving away from market mechanisms and personal choice.

It looks like I'll be rewriting that epilogue yet again. After I finished the most recent rewrite, I realized what I'd been trying to get across, and now have a better plan for expanding it further. No promises on when it'll be done, though I hope that will be soon, if only so I can move forward on the sequel.
As always, I'll keep you posted.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has in the past constituted a Working Group on Information Security. The Working Group submitted its initial report a few months back. RBI invited public comments upon that report and after analysing these comments, it issued a "Notification" asking the banks of India to comply with its recommendations.
Multiple deadlines were demarcated by RBI for implementation of its recommendation by banks of India. While not all these recommendations are mandatory some of them are and banks of India must comply with the same till October 31, 2011. These mandatory recommendations pertain to policies and procedures which do not require extensive investment.
For instance, RBI has directed that all banks would have to create a position of chief information officers (CIOs) as well as steering committees on information security at the board level at the earliest. This is a policy decision that may be required by RBI to be implemented till October 31, 2011.
However, it seems the recommendations of the RBI have still not been implemented. Till now there are no signs that cyber security of banks has been streamlines. ATM frauds, credit card frauds, phishing frauds, Internet banking frauds, etc are increasing in India. In fact, RBI ombudsman office is flooded with ATM frauds related complaints.
Recently RBI imposed penalty upon 19 banks for non compliance of prescribed standards. Similarly, RBI has also directed that any strictures passed against directors of a bank by any financial sector regulators must be reported to it. Non compliance of the recommendations of RBI Working group may attract both penalty and strictures.
Banks need to adopt techno legal measures to prevent ATM and other similar frauds. Further, cyber due diligence trainings for bank employees can also be beneficial in this regard. Banks must also appoint steering committees and CIOs as soon as possible.

text: Share: Comments Print August 21, 2013 at 9:16 PM A dozen Pac-12 players who are on the spot as the season nears . . . Posted by Bud Withers OK, it's all a matter of degrees. There are a few hundred Pac-12 football players who have something to prove when the season gets going next week. But here's a player from each program whose work will be especially scrutinized: Arizona — Running back Ka'Deem Carey led the nation in rushing last year, but had a troubled off-season, getting booted out of a 'Zona basketball game at the McKale Center in an argument with security, and then being investigated (and eventually exonerated) in a domestic-violence case in which charges were dropped. How he does without the dynamic Matt Scott at quarterback will say a lot about the Wildcats' fortunes. Arizona State — Linebacker Anthony Jones. The Sun Devils are scrambling to find the right man for their "Spur" linebacker position, which is a combo 'backer/safety. Chris Young, the Auburn product, had the job a year ago, but they've moved him to weakside linebacker, while another candidate, Carlos Mendoza, has fought knee swelling in August. Jones will try to help a defense that was nails against the pass last year (allowing only 168 yards per game, easily best in the Pac-12) but poor against the run (giving up 183 ypg). California — Initially, I was going to plug running back Brendan Bigelow into this hole. He's the stick of dynamite that at times looked all-world last year, when Cal would get him on the field. But inevitably, the guy who will be in the crosshairs is freshman quarterback Jared Goff, who won the job in a bit of a surprise after coming in early for spring football. And he doesn't have a cushy landing, as the Bears have a killer opening month with Northwestern, Ohio State and Oregon on tap. Colorado — The Buffs' pass-efficiency defense of 102.6 was a bad last in the Pac-12 in 2012, partly because the secondary had a hard-to-believe two interceptions. Safety Parker Orms can help them improve that, if he can shake a history of injury problems. Oregon — Byron Marshall, a 5-10, 207-pound sophomore, gets the call first as the likely guy to step into the void left by Kenjon Barner (and before that, LaMichael James) at running back. The challenge could fall to touted freshman Thomas Tyner, but he's sat out time with a leg injury in camp. Oregon State — In recent years, one of the better indicators of OSU's fortunes has been its fate at stopping the run. The Beavers did well at it last year, but there are voids at defensive tackle, while middle linebacker was thinned when Mike Riley kicked Josh Williams off the team. That leaves sophomore Joel Skotte (say "Scotty") with some big responsibility at middle linebacker. Stanford — Tight end Luke Kaumatule is considered a promising replacement for the three recent Cardinal tight ends who have gone off to the NFL, and he needs to be. Otherwise, the Stanford offensive personality changes significantly, and it's no given that with Stepfan Taylor gone and lots of unproven commodities at wide receiver, Stanford can withstand the hit. UCLA — Devin Fuller, a 5-11, 195-pound New Jersey product who plays the slot, needs to produce if only because of the hype heaped on him by Jim Mora, who says Fuller "is in the mold of Percy Harvin." Noel Mazzone, Bruins offensive coordinator, told the LA Times the coaches "think he can be one of the top inside receivers in the country." USC — Devon Kennard has bounced between defensive end and linebacker since he's been at USC, and now he's an outside linebacker in Clancy Pendergast's 3-4, where he should flourish. Kennard tore a pectoral muscle on his fourth repetition of bench-pressing 405 about a year ago, causing him to redshirt the 2012 season. He told me recently on the USC campus, "It worked out as a blessing. I'm not looking back. I've got a new defensive coordinator. I feel I fit very well into this defense. It's going to give me an opportunity to excel like I know I can." Utah — The Utes benefited from 2,500-plus yards rushing over the past two years from John White, and now Kelvin York, a big back (5-11, 220), is the heir to that responsibility. But Utah also likes shiftier James Poole (6-0, 195), who could bump York out of prominence. Washington State — The Cougars lost their best defensive player of 2012 in Travis Long, and in their search for a replacement at the "Buck" linebacker spot (part end, part linebacker), they went big, settling on 6-4, 290-pound Destiny Vaeao, "a big old monstrous guy," in the words of Mike Leach. Vaeao is formidable up front; the question is whether he can master pass drops. Washington — Inescapably, the guy who fits this description most is quarterback Keith Price. The Huskies need him to be a lot more like the guy who shocked fans with a brilliant 2011 season, outplaying RGIII in the Alamo Bowl, than the fragile, uncertain figure who played the position last year.

Rotary evaporators are commonly used in chemistry related environments for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation under vacuum.
The evaporator consists of a heating bath with a rotating flask, in which the liquid is distributed as a thin film over the hot flask wall surfaces so it can evaporate easily. The evaporation rate is regulated by the heating bath temperature, the size of flask, the pressure of distillation, the coolant temperature and the speed of evaporation flask rotation.
Scitek offers rotary evaporation solutions from Heidolph Instruments and Genser Scientific in Germany.
Heidolph, the global technology leader in benchtop rotary evaporation offers a complete range of intelligent solutions for every application.
Intelligent evaporation stands for an overheat protection design that prevents water baths running dry, provides a detachable panel for superior ease of use from outside closed fume hoods and offers a proven vacuum seal and vapor tube system guaranteed for years of operation!

The installation procedure described here was done on a Linux Mint 18.3 MATE with Java 8.
Ensure that Java is installed. If this is not the case, do it, as described in this article for instance. If you use OpenJDK, install the openjfx package.
Download and install the all in one bundle from Best Solution website.
Note: I tried to install e(fx)clipse as documented here. This did not work: I got a never-ending update attempt when creating a new JavaFX project.
Download Scene Builder from here and install it. Then, in the freshly installed Eclipse, set the preference Window / Preferences / JavaFX / SceneBuilder executable to Scene Builder path, which is /opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder for me.

Day 3: Lake water cooling, hydro power, coming into Pennsylvania and our first sighting of fracking
Hi, this is Matt!
So after two successful days we woke up at the crack of dawn to leave the hospitality of Ren's house, and the friendship of Ben and Alice, to continue our exploration of fracking and our trip into Pennsylvania. On the road we brushed off fatigue and looked out at the beautiful scenery of Ithaca, NY as we road to the Lake Source Cooling facility on Cayuga lake. Arriving early, we briefly got to kill some time skipping rocks on the lake.
Then we got into the meat and potatoes, the nuts and bolts of a complicated process that was both incredibly simple and overwhelmingly complex. Lake source cooling centers around the philosophy of working with nature, using nature to do the work for you instead of trying to force nature to work for you, and this was incredibly cool to me.
To put it simply, all year round the majority of the lake (below 80 feet) retains the cold of winter while a small portion of the lakes surface is heated by the spring and summer weather. So, the facility uses piping to pull cold water from the bottom of the lake and send it through piping to the university. The cold water is then circulated through university buildings and absorbs the heat of the summer months. The hot water is then sent back down to into the lake and is released at a shallow end. Also, this is entirely a closed system, so the elevation of the piping creates a natural siphon that creates most of the force necessary to move the water to and from the lake. However, the devil is in the details. The precise physics in moving the massive quantities of water involved in this process and ensuring that everything runs smoothly is something that is way over my head. However, Lanny Joyce did an amazing job explaining the process to us!
All together, though, this is an incredibly efficient and green system that utilizes the unique local environment of Cayuga lake to solve man's problems. I think one of the best things about this project is the example it sets for a new kind of philosophy in utilizing technology to benefit humanity: working with nature while protecting instead of against it. And best of all this approach has proved incredibly successful.
After this our team headed to the combined heat & Power Plant at Cornell. We took a walk on the other side of the fence and learned about the efficiency of burning natural gas compared to burning coal, especially when using the combined heat and power technique. If I remember correctly, this technique captures the heat the would be expelled during the normal process of burning natural gas and use it to create more energy. Altogether making a more efficient process leading to less energy expenditure and less emissions. While I personally would be more happy to see more of a switch from gas to renewable, even if the gas is used more efficiently, it was very interesting to learn the about the process of using natural gas and coming to terms with the reality that we have to use it, it was comforting to know that we are using it as efficiently as possible. Shout out to Tim Peer, our excellent guide through the Central Energy Plant, where we got to wear hard helmets!
Next we got to visit Cornell's Hydro electric plant!
We got to learn the tech behind the the power, and see the machinery first hand. Amazingly enough the plant is still using the original pipping from 100 years ago!
Next we hit up the politics behind the scene in New York, talking to one of the youngest elected councilman who is taking a stand to stop fracking in New York. Dominic was an inspiring speaker. He spoke of background, his inspiration for joining politics and his current work in New York. As a 22 year old international relations student, interested in sustainable development and joining the peace corps our meeting today was somewhat of an awakening moment for me as I think about the future. It was very refreshing to see someone around my own age getting involved in politics and making a difference, here and now. Too often I feel the game of politics is left to older generations, and defined as a place of realism, where as I think it can become and a place for the practical application of idealism.
Finally, we arrived in Pennsylvania. We are in the real countryside now, a big change from Washington DC, and it feels good and comforting. We're staying at a local's house, Frank Perry, who is involved in the anti-fracking movement. As soon as we got to the Frank's we unpacked and decided to go on a hike in the woods behind his house. After about a 10 minute hike we moved to the top of a hill to see the bright yellow orange flare of a fracking well burning in the distance. We had really arrived in Pennsylvania, the heart of the fracking controversy.
In process of completion, will finish tomorrow
One response to "Day 3: Lake water cooling, hydro power, coming into Pennsylvania and our first sighting of fracking"
Shoshanna says :
This makes me so happy!!!! I'm so glad you are learning a lot, reflecting and having fun. Yay for Alt Breaks at AU!

Trojan Gains Root Access, Hacks Androids
Thursday, December 10, 2015 @ 06:12 PM gHale
A Trojan can rip off information from Android devices after it gains root access on them, researchers said.
Rootnik uses the Root Assistant utility to gain root access on Android devices and it has successfully infected devices in the United States, Malaysia, Thailand, Lebanon and Taiwan, said researchers at Palo Alto Networks.
New Tools for Espionage Group
Down, but not Out: Blackhole Returns
Trojan Targets XP Users
Microsoft Patches Zero Day Holes
The Trojan stole at least five exploits used in Root Assistant, a tool developed by a Chinese company to provide users with the ability to gain root on their devices.
Rootnik spreads by embedding in copies of legitimate applications such as WiFi Analyzer, Open Camera, Infinite Loop, HD Camera, Windows Solitaire, ZUI Locker, and Free Internet Austria, said Palo Alto Networks researchers in a blog post. Researchers observed over 600 samples of Rootnik thus far and all Android 4.3 and older devices are vulnerable.
By abusing a customized version of Root Assistant, the Trojan exploits Android vulnerabilities and can install and uninstall system and non-system apps without users' awareness. The malware also installs a series of APK files on the system partition of the infected devices to maintain persistence after gaining root access.
The researchers said Rootnik can also download executable files from remote servers for local execution, as well as to aggressively promote other applications by displaying ads even on the home screen, in full screen mode. The malware also steals Wi-Fi information such as passwords, keys, and SSID and BSSID identifiers, and harvests victims' private information, including location, phone MAC address and device ID.
Palo Alto Networks researchers also determined that Rootnik connects to remote servers using the applight[.]mobi, jaxfire[.]mobi, superflashlight[.]mobi, and shenmeapp[.]info domain names. While the earliest creation date of domains goes back to February 2015, all these servers are currently active.
Rootnik distributes itself by injecting malicious code into legitimate apps and, after successfully compromising an Android device, it launches a new thread to gain root privileges. It also starts the app promotion procedure, while downloading encrypted payloads from a remote server to attempt gaining root access. If successful, it writes four APK files to the system partition and reboots the device, the researchers said.
These four APK files serve as system apps after rebooting and feature static file names: AndroidSettings.apk (responsible for promoting apps), BluetoothProviders.apk and WifiProviders.apk (both acting as remote control components for installing other applications and downloading code), and VirusSecurityHunter.apk (aimed exclusively at harvesting private data).
Rootnik attempts to gain root privileges only on devices located in certain countries, and won't attempt a root compromise if a device's location is in China.

1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1369 Review this Chapter
Buffy and Spike came to the Olympic Peninsula because of the stories they'd been hearing. They were no longer based in Sunnydale – since Sunnydale had ceased to exist. They also weren't in Italy, since Buffy was no longer riding around with the Immortal.
Actually, they'd settled down outside of Washington, DC, after Dawn got accepted at Georgetown. Buffy wanted to be close, since her little sister seemed to be a magnet for trouble. But still, her Slayer duties kept her busy. She wasn't the only Chosen One, but Buffy was still the most experienced and she and Giles and the other Scoobies found themselves in charge of an army, of sorts, of super-powered girls. They were also busy keeping tabs on all things supernatural in the world, investigating promising leads and sending Slayers where there was work to be done.
In this case, Buffy needed to do some more hands-on research, so she was pursuing this lead on her own. Well, on her own and with Spike. Angel still hadn't come around since his big battle in Los Angeles and Spike was, at the least, loyal and – these days, anyway – trustworthy. He'd become a good man. Well, a good vampire, anyway.
So the two of them had gone to the rainy Pacific Northwest in search of vampires, werewolves or some combination therein. The stories were a bit sketchy. They'd heard about some attacks and they'd heard that there were vampires living there – and they'd heard that werewolves were living there. And there were other, more muddled stories about some kind of vampire-werewolf hybrid roaming the woods.
Needless to say, they'd have their work cut out for them.
They'd already arranged to meet with the police chief in Forks, a small town that seemed to be smack dab in the heart of all the trouble. They flew into Seattle and then hopped a connection to Port Angeles. From there, it was a dark, rainy drive to Forks. Dark, because Spike couldn't go out in the daytime – not without the risk of being burned to a crisp. At least the flights that were convenient for Spike were the cheapest available.
They told Chief Swan that they'd be getting in after dark, so he told them to just stop by his house. They found it easily – there wasn't much to Forks, so there wasn't much to get lost in – and pulled into the muddy driveway a little after 8 pm. They were early, it seemed. There was no other car in the driveway. Buffy and Spike were prepared to wait, when a flash of headlights came around the corner and a loud, old red truck pulled up. They saw a girl – about 18, from the look of things – step out and lope towards the front porch. She hadn't noticed them.
Buffy and Spike were just stepping out of the car, when they saw him. He sprinted from the woods nearby, scooped up the girl and braced her against the house. He was a practically still a boy, probably the same age as the girl, but his skin was almost translucently pale and his eyes were a strange shade – almost black. He stood between the girl and the newcomers, snarling just a bit.
"I don't like the look of things," Buffy muttered, stepping out of the rental car.
Spike stood beside her. "He's a vampire. I can smell it."
Buffy nodded. "I know. But there's something …"
But she didn't get a chance to finish her sentence. The boy with the dark eyes slammed into her, full-force, knocking her to the ground. Buffy was surprised, to say the least. She knew vampires were fast, but she'd never seen someone move like that.
Spike moved quickly, too, though and hauled the boy off her, flinging him across the driveway. The violence changed his face – into his demon form. Buffy was winded, but he helped her to her feet and she recovered quickly.
"Nice to meet you, too," she sighed. She reached into her jacket and pulled out a shard of wood. "You should meet my friend, Mr. Pointy."
She ran at the boy, kicking him in the face. He snarled, but his face stayed unchanged, and he fought back.
"No! Stop it!" the girl on the porch screamed.
"Bella, get inside," the boy snarled. He lunged back at Buffy, kicking her in the stomach, sending her flying back.
Spike moved to hit him from behind, but the boy was too quick, and he flung him, too, towards the woods with Buffy.
The Slayer didn't wait long, though, before she was back on her feet and stalking towards the boy. Her arm was raised, the stake held firmly in her fist, when she felt a hand shove her back. It wasn't a forceful shove, but it distracted her from the vampire she was trying to kill.
She looked down. It was the girl from the porch.
"Get out of my way," Buffy said.
"No," the girl, Bella, replied. "I won't let you hurt him."
"Kid," Buffy said, "you should be worried about him hurting you."
"You don't understand," Bella pleaded, pushing against Buffy with all her might. It wasn't really doing anything, but the girl's will was a strange twist on the situation. "He could kill you – but he wouldn't, he's not like that."
"He's a vampire, they're all like that." Buffy stalked forward, finally pushing the girl aside.
This time the voice came from the trees. It was Spike. He'd been watching the exchange and finally stepped out of the shadows and into the light outside the house.
Bella took the opportunity to run to the boy. He held her waist protectively, pushing her behind him slightly, putting himself between her and the violent strangers.
"What is it?" Buffy sounded impatient. But Spike just stared at the boy. "Can I kill him, yet?"
"No!" Bella screamed.
"No," Spike said. Then he spoke to the boy. "I want to know what you are."
"He's Edward," the girl said, as if that explained everything.
"And what are you, Edward?" Spike asked, still leering.
The boy, Edward, stared icily back at them. "I'm not like you," he finally said. "She," he said, glaring at Buffy, "may put us in the same category, but we're not the same. We never were."
Spike nodded. "Clearly. I've got a soul."
Edward's dark eyes narrowed. "You're possessed by a demon. I can hear it in your head. I saw your face change."
"And I saw yours stay the same." This time it was Buffy who spoke. As her adrenaline slowed, she started tabulating all the strange things about this boy. "What are you?"
He cocked his head at her, his lips curling up at the edges. "I'm Edward, didn't you hear her earlier?"
He was mocking them, now. Buffy held up the stake again. "I've got half a mind to run this through your heart, anyway."
"Go right ahead," Edward said, pulling open his jacket to give her a clear shot. "For all the good it will do you."
Buffy eyed him, weighing her options. He could be calling her bluff … or he could mean it. Something about his face made her believe him.
"But you are a vampire?" He nodded. "You're not like any vampire I've ever met."
"And you're not like any girl I've ever met."
"We should probably talk about all this," Buffy said, lowering her fist.
Edward nodded. "Probably. But right now you've got an appointment with the Chief. He's around the corner." He leaned down and carefully kissed the girl on the mouth. She shivered, but didn't seem to notice. Then he glanced quickly at the strangers. "We'll talk tomorrow. Come back after the Chief goes to work."
And then he was gone. Buffy and Spike looked around, confused, then straightened when they saw the headlights from Chief Swan's police cruiser pull into the driveway. Buffy slipped the stake back into her jacket and stepped forward to introduce herself as Charlie stepped out of the car. It seems there was more to Forks than met the eye.

A good way to know it's Monday:
Everything goes wrong...
Or in my case, I've had the worst migraine all day long.
It's absolutely horrible. I can't move without feeling
like my right eyeball is going to explode.
I was supposed to go to my Nana's with my Mama,
but I couldn't get out of bed this morning.
As soon as the sun started coming up,
my head started pounding even worse.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Charlie Poole (From NUnit Fame) does a brilliant intro post on discovering Ruby:
This week at OSCON 2006 I finally learned some Ruby. I've been meaning to do this and learning by listening to Dave Thomas and Mike Clark seemed like it would be much more fun than simply reading a book. Turns out I was right.
In the process, I discovered a cool thing about Ruby and invented a really neat way to use it. Except not really: other folks already knew about my "discovery" and my "invention" has been invented a few times before! Oh well! It was fun and I learned a lot. If you don't know Ruby, some of this may be new to you as well. If you do know it, perhaps you'll find something to smile about here.

Ryan Reynolds has offered us the first full look at Josh Brolin's take on Cable for Deadpool 2.
Posted on Twitter, it's looking like a relatively faithful take on the time-travelling future-warrior:
We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future. #PremiumCABLE #JoshBrolin pic.twitter.com/JV3yBIIPQH

DeadPool 2: Your premium #Cable provider. #DeadPool2 pic.twitter.com/LboS0iVDqZ
— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) August 7, 2017
We got a tease of Brolin (who also plays Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but won't mention it) being transformed into Cable in June - these are the results.
Director David Leitch has previously discussed what it is that Brolin brings to the role, aside from his imposingly craggy face: "he brings a humanity to Cable, but he also has the depth of acting chops to hang with the comedy when needed. He's bringing that character to life in the short 12 days we've been shooting and I couldn't be happier."
Deadpool 2's been teasing its new characters rather a lot recently - we got our first look at Zazie Beetz's Domino only a week ago.
We'll be getting a lot more teases than this presumably - Deadpool 2 is scheduled for release in 2018.
Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he hopes this leads to some horrible jokes at Cyclops' expense. Follow him on Twitter.

I really love designer Pete Dungey's "Pothole Gardens". In an attempt to highlight the many surface imperfections on British roads, he planted potholes with bright flowers. I like to think motorists moved their wheels to avoid squishing the flowers which, come to think of it, prevents the negative consequences of potholes while creating a little burst of joy! This project reminds me of Juliana Santacruz Herrera's knit potholes that I posted about previously. Anytime an urban eyesore is made beautiful and colourful, it just makes a city a happier place.

Apparently limited to 500 2×12″ sets (retailing at $50), they were up on Turntable Lab for a super-short while until Rane caught wind of it and made a big stink. Everything is the same as a regular Serato record, except they're puuurdy.

Having a house with sensational scenery is anyone's desire, retaining the picturesque view is often not an area of the aspiration. A lush yard with beautiful foliage requires regular attention for this to seem beautiful and stay healthy.
Without proper attention, your grass will wrap up looking like an overgrown forest with weeds ruling the website. You can visit www.monsantoroundupcancerlawsuit.com/roundup-cancer-lawsuit.aspx to know more weed killers.
Coping with these is often challenging, which explains why many people decide out of experiencing a garden. A weed burner is an effective method for your gardening problems.
It really is designed to remove weeds and parasitic vegetation that outdo your beautiful foliage. If unattended, weeds and parasitic plant life suffocate your respected flowers and plants and exhaust all the essential nutrition and fertilizers from the ground.
These vegetative pests continue steadily to expand bigger and better while your cherished garden is subdued. It could be difficult to remove all the weeds quickly, which explains why it is highly recommended to offer the challenge while it continues to be small.
As the hoopla about global warming is growing, it's wise to purchase a weed burner that is organic and natural and non-toxic. It generally does not contain tough chemicals that contaminate your garden earth.
Normal water contaminated with poisons has adverse influences on a myriad of life. Organic and natural weed killers contain all-natural chemicals that influence only the weeds, rather than the dirt and other crops.

After Nick Baum realized his social events planning startup WhereBerry was essentially dead, he didn't really know what to do next.
Before WhereBerry, Baum had worked at Google for roughly five years, entering as an engineer straight out of school before transitioning into its elite associate product manager program. Despite WhereBerry's flop, he had loved the thrill of entrepreneurship and wasn't ready to go back to a "real" job at a bigger company just yet.
As he spent his free time plotting what to do next, Baum realized he finally had time to do something he'd been passionate about for a while: Collect his dad's stories.
His father, Axel Baum, was born in Berlin in 1930 but had moved to the US as a kid. He served in the Navy in the early 50s, then became an international lawyer and traveled all over the world. He settled in France, met his wife (and Nick's mom) in Sweden, and raised a family in Paris.
Baum's dad was teeming with stories, but he still lived abroad and it was hard for Baum to delve deep over long-distance phone calls. Then, when they were together and Baum thrust a tape recorder in front of him, it felt like they ended up focusing on the milestones, not the special little moments in between.
So, Baum decided to try to find a way to make capturing his dad's stories more routine and natural. He started sending weekly emails with quirky, evocative questions like, "In college, what were you involved in outside of class?" and "What is the most selfless thing you've done for anyone?"
His dad loved it. Baum decided, why not get other people to try this system out, too?
He offered the service to friends and other family members. The structure was simple: One question a week that storytellers could either respond to via email or a recorded phone call. After a few months, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive and he had friends tell him that their parents loved it and that it was bringing their families closer.
"The fact that it's a weekly email means that every week, you have at least one meaningful conversation with your family," Baum tells Business Insider. "And most people I talk to, they might talk to their family once a week, but it's very much like, 'Hey! What did you do last week? What are you doing next week?' It's very ephemeral stuff. And so shifting those conversations onto a deeper level is really rewarding to people."
Baum dubbed his startup StoryWorth and has been officially running it for the last two years. A six-person storytelling plan costs $49 a year and $99 a year for up to fifteen family members. StoryWorth sends out the weekly prompts and then stores all the text or audio responses privately and securely. StoryWorth also gives users the option of compiling their stories into a physical book which the company will then help them print. Users have submitted more than 30,000 stories so far.
"For the people who invite their family members, it's getting the stories and having them in a way you know you can keep them safe for the future," Baum says. "For the people writing the story, part of it is just flattering that your family wants to know what has happened in your life. There's also this trip down memory lane that allows storytellers to sit back in each memory. That's part of the fun, too."
Although not all of StoryWorth's users take advantage of the product to collect the stories of elderly loved ones, Baum says that most storytellers are in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. StoryWorth not only helps them stimulate their memories, but helps prevent the loneliness or feelings of isolation that can affect older people living alone.
Here's how StoryWorth looks in action:
When you sign up, you can make profiles for all the people on one account:
You can also see what questions each storyteller has on deck:
Once a user starts logging stories, you can read everything they've written in one place:
"I love the idea that a hundred years from now, millions of people would have their great-grandparent's full life story," Baum says. "And not just, like, a couple odd pictures and a birth certificate but would have, 'Here is some story about a great prank they pulled in college.' You know? That's a cool feeling."

Facial Plastic Surgery Options in Wichita, Kansas
Blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, lip augmentation or reduction, forehead lift, necklift, otoplasty, laser skin rejuvenation with DOT Therapy, and facelift procedures at our Wichita, Kansas plastic surgery office can be used to improve facial balance or to create a more youthful, rested, and relaxed appearance. Dr. Matthew Conrad can determine which treatment is best suited to your individual needs and personal goals. For more information on facial plastic surgery options, or to schedule a consultation, please contact our Wichita plastic surgery office today.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation with DOT Therapy
One of the most effective ways to make a dramatic improvement in your appearance is with the facelift procedure. At our Wichita, Kansas area practice, we have a reputation for youthful, natural-looking facelift results. A properly performed facelift can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tighten sagging skin. The procedure, commonly performed on individuals over the age of 40, may be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat from the neck and face for a slimmer and more proportionate appearance. A facelift is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure at our Wichita, Kansas practice, and temporary side effects may include discomfort, swelling, bruising, and numbness. Most patients are able to return to work and other light activities in one to two weeks.
Patients as young as 30 may be concerned with signs of aging in the eye area, including sagging eyelid skin, lower eyelid puffiness, and wrinkles. An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, can effectively create a more open and youthful eye area by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues with only minimally visible incisions and scarring. For even greater results, blepharoplasty may be combined with a facelift procedure at our Wichita, Kansas plastic surgery practice. Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, an eyelid lift may cause temporary side effects, including tearing, swelling, blurred vision, bruising, dry eye sensation, and sensitivity to light. In about one week, most patients are able to return to work and other non-strenuous activities.
Neck Lift
A neck lift procedure helps define the face by targeting excess, sagging skin around the neck. A neck lift can be used to create a leaner, more youthful appearance and may be combined with the facelift procedure at our Wichita, Kansas plastic surgery office for enhanced results. Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, a neck lift is an ideal treatment because the tiny incisions can be placed behind the ears to ensure a completely natural look. Temporary side effects associated with the procedure may include swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities in one to two weeks.
Brow lift
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a procedure in which the eyebrows are raised to a higher position to eliminate prominent forehead wrinkles for a naturally relaxed and more youthful appearance. The brow lift, most often performed on individuals over the age of 40 as an outpatient procedure, is associated with temporary side effects like numbness, discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Typically, patients can expect to return to work and light activities in as little as one week
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation or enhancement can be achieved using soft tissue fillers. Fillers are ideal for improving the size and shape of the lips with one convenient office visit. Follow-up treatments are required every three to six months to maintain results.
Lip Reduction
Lip reduction can be performed to improve facial proportions and enhance self-confidence. Excess lip tissue is removed through tiny incisions that are hidden in the natural lip contour, reducing fullness in overly large, puffy, or uneven lips for a more balanced appearance that beautifully compliments other facial features. Lip reduction can be performed under local or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and patients may experience temporary side effects including swelling and discomfort. Most patients are able to resume normal activities in less than one week.
Otoplasty, or ear pinning, can improve facial balance by reducing the appearance of prominent ears. Otoplasty may be performed on children as young as four years old, who may become self-conscious due to ridicule from peers, or on older individuals who are uncomfortable with the size or shape of their ears. At our Wichita, Kansas cosmetic surgery office, otoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most individuals return to normal activities in as little as five to seven days.
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, can make a dramatic change in one's overall appearance and significantly improve one's self-confidence. Adjustments to size, shape, or alignment can enhance facial balance and proportions for a nose that naturally complements the individual's surrounding features. Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, rhinoplasty may cause temporary side effects like discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities in as little as 5 days.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation with DOT Therapy
DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a new and exciting way of reversing the appearance of aged or sun-damaged skin, smoothing wrinkles, and reducing the appearance of acne or other scars. DOT Therapy is performed using the SmartXide DOT™ laser system. Because DOT Therapy delivers the desired outcome with minimal downtime, it is rapidly replacing traditional laser skin resurfacing as the treatment of choice for mild to moderate signs of photo damage and aging skin. In most cases, excellent results can be achieved in a single session. Dr. Conrad will advise you on what results you can reasonably expect.
In addition to experienced facial plastic surgery options, Dr. Matt Conrad also provides abdominoplasty, liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction to define one's overall shape and improve appearance. For more information, please contact our Hays plastic surgery office serving Hutchinson, Wichita, and all of Kansas today.
Ear Lobe Repair
Miracle Makeovers dramatically change one's look but sometimes the simplest change can make the biggest impact. Your ears are not only one of the most visible parts of your body but also very fashionable and make a major statement by how they look and what jewelry you wear.
How many women do you know that have pulled down long earlobes or tears in their ears? Many women and men suffer from this problem as they wear jewelry to enhance their appearance. This may be due to the fact that they may wear earrings that are too heavy, hang low, or due to the pressure of their ear pressed against the telephone.
This is not just a problem exclusive to older women. I recently saw a young patient whose ears were pierced too low and had nearly completely pulled through. Over a period of time, your hole will gradually enlarge. The final tear is usually through a small piece of tissue at the bottom of your ear lobe creating what is called a cleft.
These tears are often split and are very visible and may be hard to cover with your hair. You may ask if there is something that can be done to repair your stretched or torn ear. The answer is yes.
The Ear Lobe Repair Procedure
There are several different types of repairs that can be done all in the office under local anesthesia usually within an hour. The degree of your tear will determine the type of procedure you will need. There is minimal discomfort after earlobe repair and you will not need to have any prescription medicine other than antibiotic after your surgery.
There is no downtime. Restrictions are no earrings for six weeks. There is little to no pain afterwards. You will experience some sensitivity after surgery but after a few days, it will go away. Stitches are removed in 5 to 7 days.
To prevent tears in the future, you should wear lightweight or stud earrings as much as possible. There is a wide variety of elegant jewelry that can be worn during and after the healing period. Secondly, you should always ask your jeweler to adjust the tension on your earrings. Finally, avoid pulling on earrings and remember to take earrings out around young children. They tend to pull on shiny objects.
Cost of Surgery.
At the time of your initial consultation, you will be quoted a price. The cost is not covered by any insurance plan since it is considered cosmetic surgery. Fees are due in full at least two weeks prior to surgery and a security deposit will reserve a specific time and date for your surgery.

With the recent emphasis on standards, skills, and test scores in school, there has never been a more important time to be mindful of the need for imagination, creativity, and play in the lives of young students. There have been countless articles written and research projects undertaken to reinforce the need for creativity and play in the lives and education of children. Perhaps one of the most well known is the Ted talk by Sir Ken Robinson. Although the talk was presented in 2006, the problem persists, and perhaps, is even greater today. in many schools, than it was then!
Even if you are teaching in a standards or skills-based learning environment, most standards and skills-based learning can take place within creative activities. The learning will undoubtedly be more meaningful, connected, and will be more likely to result in mastery, when presented in a playful way. Here is one example I have used with both first and second graders, but can easily be adapted for any elementary grade level!
What child does not like to build a snowman? Regardless of where you live, you can make a
Decorating the snowmen requires a variety of supplies like construction paper, crepe paper, buttons, pompoms, wiggly eyes, etc. Craft glue works better than school glue to hold things in place. An afternoon of creativity will result in a classroom full of delightful characters sure to bring smiles and enthusiasm! The learning, however, has just begun! The snowmen are the center of an abundance of learning opportunities. I will share a few I have used, then use your own creative thinking to find connections to the standards in your grade level!
Math Applications:
- Geometric shapes (cylinder, cone, sphere)
- measurement (height, weight, circumference)
- child created story problems acted out with the snowmen. (Have each child write a story problem to be reproduced into a booklet or worksheet of problems for the class to solve.)
Science Applications:
- Solid, liquid, and gas (balloons, paper mache goop, flour and water, evaporation)
- weather
Literacy Applications:
- Read a variety of snowman stories.
- Write how-to build a snowman (either with snow or paper mache).
- Write creative snowman stories emphasizing fiction story elements like characters, setting, problem, events, solution, beginning, middle, and end. (I always used the stories as an opportunity for the kids to make an actual book, complete with cardboard and cloth covers, and illustrations. The books were then on hand for the other children in the class to read during reading time. They were sent home with the snowmen when the project was completed.)
- Create a class version of the well known Snowmen At Night, by Caralyn Buehner.
Here is an example of one of our multimedia videos:
The possibilities for learning are endless with a project like this. A few days of messy, busy creativity will allow your young students to learn with their imaginations and playful spirits. Plan your learning targets ahead of time, then watch as engagement and mastery abound!

In reply to Re: The Hsiung-Pilder discussion, posted by Dr. Bob on February 15, 2015, at 22:45:58
Mr. Hsiung,
You claim here that the statement in question does not constitute hate speech in your thinking. I say to you that it depends on the jurisdiction that one is in when they post the statements in question that I am attempting to have you purge here or post a repudiation to. It also depends on what jurists consider to be in the definition of the terms used to decide if the speech is hate speech or not. In the U.S., the terms used are {disparaging} and {intimidating}. This means that if the speech intimidates or disparages the target person or group on , as here, religion. The speech could also apply to other entities such as ethnic origin, race, sexual orientation and such. But here in our discussion, the emphasis is on if the speech is disparaging and/or intimidation of Jews as the test if it is hate speech or not. Other countries have different tests to determine hate speech.
In France, the test is if the speech insults or defames, as in the case here, Jews. Or if the speech {incites discrimination against} or incites hatred or harm or provokes ethnic hatred..
You may not think the statements in question constitute hate-speech. But I do.
I do because I understand the meaning of {insult} and {defame} and {hatred} and what it means to {provoke} hatred. And I understand that your rules say that if you do nothing to the statement, that it is not against your rules, and until you post in your TOS/FAQ differently, I think that statement by you still means what it means and says what it says and is what it is as it can be seen. But more than that, you say that even if a statement is against your rules, you could allow it to be seen as supportive because {by allowing it to be seen as supportive, it will be good for this community as a whole in your thinking}. I understand what you mean by that, and I say that leaving anti-Semitic propaganda to be seen here as supportive, will in no wise in my thinking be good for this community as a whole. I am prohibited by you to post here what could inform readers about those that said the same thing that you have here in the annuals of European fascism. I base this in the fact that the statement has been used for the justification for slavery and infanticide and segregation and discrimination and genocide, and as I see the historical record, those that tried to persuade the members of their community that they were doing good for the community as a whole by making genocide and the others state-sponsored, got away with slavery and genocide until the people could not wait any longer to see this "good" that was promised by the leaders saying to trust them. For people to trust one that allows anti-Semitic hate propaganda to be seen as supportive, could be un informed and prohibited to know, and it's so easy to persuade the un informed. It's so easy.

I am an artistic or creative person, but I started working when I was 12 and my work experience has been very diverse. I've also done a lot of work for non-profit organizations, some of it voluntary and some paid positions. I've been married for almost 30 years and we have 2 adult children and 1 teenager.
I have traveled far and wide and met so many people from different nations and cultures and all walks of life. I care about those who suffer, especially children. I believe there's a way every person can help others, and we can accomplish more, and learn more, when we work together. I believe our essential purpose is to "love one another" as a family, one great big human family.
Unpredictable things sometimes happen. I became ill and was laid off because of the economy at the same time. I decided to start blogging as a way to be creative and inspire myself. (See: Create A Beautiful Life ) At the same time I was working on preparing a parenting workshop, so I decided to start a blog about parenting to offer my life experience to whomever it might help.

August 2013 Issue
Avionics Warranties: Worth The Investment
Extended-warranty plans for integrated avionics could pay off in a single repair. Read the fine print before you sign the contract.
If youve paid for repairs on modern avionicsespecially glass cockpit componentsyou might have wished you bought the manufacturers extended warranty plan. Thats because in many cases, the cost of the plan could pay for itself during one trip to the shop. It can also reduce downtime and entitle you to no-charge loaner equipment. Now that the fleet of glass cockpit aircraft is aging (some models are older than 10 years), were seeing more frequent failures of expensive avionics components. That makes it easier for us to recommend buying an extended warranty. Heres a report on whats available from three major avionics manufacturers.

Speed Calibration
Does your treadmill speed just seem… off? If you answered "Yes" to this question then a speed calibration may be just what the doctor ordered.
Calibrating the speed is a simple procedure. However, make sure that you are being very careful while doing this. During this procedure we are going to take your treadmill from a stop to its maximum speed very quickly. It is important to remember to NOT stand on the treadmill as we go through these steps.
To start we need to enter calibration mode, to do this you will need to press and hold the STOP and SPEED INCREASE (this will be either an UP ARROW or a + (plus) symbol) buttons. While holding these two buttons you will insert your safety key.
Once you have inserted the safety key, you can release the buttons and let go of the safety key. At this point you will need to press the STOP button one time.
Now that we are in Calibration Mode, to calibrate the speed you will press and hold the SPEED INCREASE button. On the console you will notice that a number will start to climb. Continue to hold the SPEED INCREASE button down until this has reached 85. This will also take your treadmill to its maximum speed. If your treadmill's maximum speed is 10 mph you should see that the speed reaches at least 9.5 mph, but may go as high as 10.5 mph. If it is less than 9.5 mph or higher than 10.5 mph some further adjustments may be needed.
Note: Most new machines can not be calibrated this way.

pumped up kicks
Written by Annie, Posted in shopping

CAPES [something empowering] Laugh so you don't cry (sometimes, this works…thanks Andy Davis, and Roomie-room-room-room).
COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] I've done the legwork, Ciao Bella boots are wear-all-day-long comfortable, Frye boots are unique and stylish, and Hunter wellies are Seattle-rain-friendly. I've got my pumped up kicks and I'm ready for fall.
THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] I love this over-priced item in orange. And I'll dream about it upon my wrist until I can find it on eBay.
