Our plastic surgeons at Richmond Aesthetic Surgery offer a variety of facial procedures to ensure we address your unique cosmetic concerns. While most facelift patients have historically waited until the age of 50 or later before seeking out this facial procedure, the most current techniques used in the treatment of facial aging are now allowing patients to opt for subtler changes earlier in life. A mini facelift is an alternative to a traditional facelift for patients with milder degrees of excess skin or sagging tissue. This procedure allows patients to rejuvenate their face for a more youthful, vibrant look with a shorter surgical time and an abbreviated recovery. Since the face plays such a significant role in how we perceive ourselves, many of our patients report a nice boost in self-confidence after the mini facelift procedure. We know how important trust is when making the personal decision of choosing a facelift surgeon; Dr. Neil Zemmel and Dr. Kasandra Dassoulas have a history of fostering positive experiences that lead to outstanding results.
Please contact us for more information on mini facelift procedures, or to schedule a consultation.
About the Mini Facelift
A mini facelift employs similar techniques of a more traditional facelift; however, the mini lift involves incisions, typically limited to placement in front of the ear. Through this incision, the underlying soft tissue and muscular layer of the face can be tightened to a more youthful anatomic position. Our surgeons utilize a limited-incision MACS lift for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation. Using the MACS-lift facelift technique for a more natural look, Dr. Zemmel and Dr. Dassoulas can offer their facelift patients a faster recovery, minimized risks of complications, and long-lasting results. All scars are discreetly concealed behind the ear or along the hairline.
Mini Facelift Consultation
Ideal candidates for mini facelift surgery include healthy men and women who exhibit early signs of aging around the face and neck. Many of our mini facelift patients are in their 30s-50s, though in some cases a mini facelift may be recommended for an older patient. A successful mini facelift requires that patients maintain realistic expectations about the procedure. While mini facelifts can effectively address sagging jowls and reduce the appearance of lines around the mouth (marionette lines), the procedure is not designed to completely transform the face or eliminate fine lines or wrinkles. A traditional facelift, facial peel, or laser skin resurfacing may be recommended to address these concerns. Clear doctor-patient communication is vital for a successful mini facelift. Your plastic surgeon will help you make a well-informed decision based on a facial examination and a discussion of your unique aesthetic goals. Our VECTRA 3D surgical simulator is also used to provide a visual "preview" of the potential results to aid in the decision-making process.
After the consultation, if it is determined that you are a good candidate for a mini facelift, your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions in preparation for your surgery.
Your Mini Facelift Procedure
All mini facelift surgeries are performed by Richmond Aesthetic Surgery's plastic surgeons at St. Francis Hospital's Ambulatory Surgical Center or at the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Henrico Doctors' Hospital – Forest Campus. During this outpatient procedure, most patients typically require local anesthetic and gentle sedation to maximize safety during surgery and minimize discomfort. All incisions are hidden around the ear and are typically inconspicuous once healing is complete. A mini facelift usually takes about 2 hours to perform.
Your Mini Facelift Recovery
Most of our patients do not experience significant discomfort following their mini facelift procedure, and any discomfort is usually resolved with pain medication. While some patients may feel slight numbness in areas of the face immediately after surgery, this numbness typically resolves in a few weeks. Though bruising and swelling is often significantly less than a traditional facelift, Dr. Zemmel and Dr. Dassoulas still recommend that patients elevate their heads during the first days of recovery to expedite the process. Patients usually feel like themselves after day or two and begin to gradually resume their normal activities, and sutures are removed at approximately 1 week after surgery.

Through a series of twenty in-class, modestly mathematical, paper-and-pencil activities, students review the epic advancement of astronomical thought, from the rudimentary observations of prehistoric skywatchers to the development of modern astrophysics in the 20th century. In following the groundbreaking work of some of history's most famous astronomers, students better appreciate the fruits of modern research. Astronomy Activities and Laboratory Manual supplies what is missing from standard introductory college astronomy course; the essential story line that tells how astronomers came to know as much as they do about the universe.
The activities require no specialized instructor training, equipment or individual materials beyond a pencil, straightedge, and standard calculator. They are designed for use in a classroom of any size, and are an easy way to introduce active-learning into the teaching of astronomy. The activities are also ideal for individual homework assignments or team study. The necessary mathematical background is introduced on an as-needed basis for every activity and is accessible for most undergraduate students. This learn-by-doing approach is sure to engage and excite your introductory astronomy students!

RMT demands investigation after early reports suggest faulty brakes caused yesterday's Central Line shutdown
The RMT has demanded an immediate investigation into the impact of cuts to fleet maintenance schedules after it emerged the likely cause of yesterday's Tube shutdown was a defective brake.
Although the union is awaiting the outcome of the investigation into the incident that caused chaos during yesterday's Olympic rush hour, it is reported that the driver of the Central Line train saw smoke billowing from the tunnel at Leyton and noticed a strong smell of burning.
The delay in clearing the blockage would be consistent with the brakes failing and welding together – a potential impact from maintenance cuts that RMT has been warning of for over two years.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "All of the reports received so far are consistent with a brake failure leading to a fire hazard and the welding tight of over-heated parts. It is down to LUL to now confirm the cause of this major breakdown and disruption and RMT safety reps will be playing a full role.
"RMT has warned for over two years about the impact of fleet maintenance cuts and specifically brake inspections and the doubling of schedules from 14 to 28 days. We have even released pictures of worn parts from the trains and LUL and the Mayor have not only ignored us but dismissed it as "scaremongering."
"Our reps are closely monitoring the situation and staff and passenger safety remains RMT's key priority."

[caption]Gian Domenico Cerrini (1609-1681), A Vanitas: Time Revealing Truth[/caption]
Masterpiece London 2014 was a unique experience for a first-time visitor like me. Happened weeks ago but still very vivid as it featured all kinds of flashy and interesting artefacts and everything you can imagine – from fine arts, applied arts, decorative arts, jewels, watches even high-end vehicles! In some way, it was like walking through history but with a bit more of a upscale shopping mall experience. From Greek pottery, Roman mosaics, Renaissance paintings, collector items such as Da Vinci's signed books up to modern-day jewellery pieces, it's all breathtaking and all pretty, except that Masterpiece is really for those who have money to spare to add to their collection.
Despite this great shortcoming from my end, that didn't really stop me from hunting down some art pieces that I haven't seen before. Here they are: (sorry I didn't take pictures of the vehicles!)

"This funding builds on the Patrick Administration's strategic investments in innovation, education and infrastructure, not just for today, but for generations to come" said Secretary Bartlett. "The chair will be at the forefront of research in renewable energy innovation, leading to technologies that help the Commonwealth cut our energy use, create jobs and protect the environment."
The faculty member chosen for the position by a search committee will serve a five-year, non-renewable term in the College of Engineering. Every five years, a new faculty will be drawn to the campus to fill the chair. The College of Engineering has a long history of excellence, particularly in the field of wind energy. Wind Furnace 1 (WF-1) was built at the College, marking the beginning of the modern wind-electricity era. WF-1 is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
"Creating a new, high-profile professorship in renewable energy on the UMass Amherst campus clearly demonstrates our commitment to advancing knowledge of renewable energy and sustainability," said UMass Amherst chancellor Kumble R. Subbaswamy. "The linkage with the key state agency that promotes policies in this area for the whole Commonwealth also places UMass Amherst on the front lines of implementing changes that will have lasting and wide-ranging effects. This is an excellent partnership between our College of Engineering and the state government and it will provide benefits far into the future."
"We are pleased to partner again with the University of Massachusetts to shepherd new ideas in renewable energy," said Department of Energy Resources (DOER) Acting Commissioner Meg Lusardi. "It is critical that we continue to foster growth in the industry, especially at our academic institutions because the students of today are our clean energy leaders of tomorrow."
Funding for the chair comes from Alternative Compliance Payments (ACP) through DOER. Electric retail suppliers pay into a fund if they have insufficient Renewable or Alternative Energy Certificates to meet their compliance obligations under the Renewable and Alternative Portfolio Standard programs. As provided in the programs' regulations, these funds are paid into a segregated account at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and DOER uses these funds at the discretion of the Commissioner specifically to further the development of renewable or alternative energy in the Commonwealth.
The state support for the endowed chair comes at a time when the University is celebrating its 150th anniversary and its UMass Rising development campaign. As such, the funding will be matched by the University's Provost to provide an endowed funding source for graduate students and research activities to be used by the endowed chair.
"I applaud Governor Patrick for choosing the University's flagship campus to serve as the focal point for this research," said Senator Stan Rosenberg. "Much is at stake and I am confident that the faculty and staff in the College of Engineering will prove themselves to be more than worthy of this important task."
The endowment fund will be held by the University of Massachusetts Foundation and administered jointly by the university and the foundation. Income from the fund will be used to support part of the salary for the professor, funding for graduate students, equipment and other costs of a research program in renewable energy.
The Patrick Administration's aggressive clean energy initiatives have made Massachusetts a leader in energy efficiency, renewable energy and emissions reductions. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has named Massachusetts number one for three years running. Governor Patrick has set a new solar goal after reaching the previous goal of 250 megawatts four years early. The Commonwealth now aims to install 1,600 megawatts of solar capacity by 2020. The clean energy revolution is yielding economic benefits as well, with 11.8 percent job growth in the last year; nearly 80,000 people are employed in the cleantech industry in Massachusetts.

By Laleye Dipo in Minna
Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has said that his Imo State counterpart, Rochas Okorocha, believes in and works diligently to achieve oneness and peace in Nigeria.
Bello also said that the Imo State governor "is a lover of education and a philanthropist per excellence".
The remarks were contained in a 55th birthday message the Niger State governor sent to his colleague in which he also praised the leadership role of Okorocha as the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum.
In the message signed on behalf of the governor by his Chief Press Secretary Jibrin Ndace, the Imo State governor was also described as "as a strong pillar in the struggle for a united and indivisible Nigeria", adding that Okorocha "has contributed immensely to the ongoing quest for national unity and progress."
"Okorocha is a dependable arrow head and efficient trouble shooter in the ongoing agitation for the disintegration of the country by some elements in the country," Bello said in the message.

The night was quiet as it always is when Jacob's away, which is always bad. My mind jumps to memories it shouldn't, memories that should be erased, but Jacob's absence brings them to the surface. Without his warmth to suffocate me there is no stopping from the thoughts going back to...my old life. Sometimes, on these cold nights, I like to leave the heater off and touch the glass of the window. I close my eyes and think I'm touching his face-Edward's face. I made the right choice. Atleast that's what I tell myself.
I watch the snow fall down sideways out the window and I smile, thinking of Jacob's return and how I'll know it's him because I'll see the steam. I made the right choice. La Push is beautiful in the winter, how could I miss this? We have a home now, settled in next to the others and my new friends. I run with wolves now. I'm not Vampire Chick anymore. I made the right choice.
When I'm alone I start to doubt that. I close my eyes and think I can feel Edward's penetrating stare trying to read my thoughts. I close my eyes and feel his body overwhelming mine in it's presence and beauty. My flaws could never compete with his perfection, unlike Jacob. Atleast with him we're evenly matched. But I could have been beautiful. I could have been beautiful once.
The timer on the microwave goes off, thankfully, and I am forced to leave the path my mind was just about to venture on. I walk from the livingroom and into the kitchen which is always warm. I grab the hot cocoa from the microwave with ovenmitts-something Jacob has forced me to do when he is away. The corners are all padded down and every entrance his locked with the key that only he has. He wants to protect me, he thinks I'll hurt myself on accident or on purpose. I dip the marshmallows in the hot cocoa and wonder if I should make Jake a cup, he'll be cold when he gets back.
It's my mind again. I turn around but there is no one around me but lonliness and empty space. I had been hearing his voice again. I think back to those days when he had left me and I think it's his own damn fault that he's alone. If he hadn't abandoned me then I wouldn't have found Jacob and he wouldn't have fallen in love with me. If he hadn't abandoned me I'd be like him and we'd be happily ever after by now, right? Is this not happily ever after though?
"Bella...," I look up and there Jake is, shirtless and dripping wet, watching me.
My eyes open in surprise and I see there is a small puddle forming around him, "Jake! What did I tell you about the puddles!"
"Sorry," his voice has an edge to it that I don't like. But I know he is when he gets in his moods. I know that I have to ignore it.
"It's alright. I'll mop it up while you go get changed," I don't look at him. He's staring at me the wrong way and he's not moving yet. There's something wrong. I grab a new mug, "I was going to make you some hot cocoa but I wasn't sure when you'd be returning. I didn't want it to get cold."
"You could have warmed it up," is he picking a fight?
I put the stuff in my hands down on the counter and look up at him, as if fed up. His eyes are black and dangerous, I know that look. It's the look he gives the members of his pack when they bring up my past teasingly. It's always fun and games but one of them comes back injured after a meeting. I leave my hands down, "Did I do something wrong?"
"You're thinking about him," his words come out seperately like barks and I try not to look shocked or too confused.
"Thinking about who?" I ask in a tired tone. He's been picking fights with me all week and I know it's about him. I know it's about Edward.
"You know who I'm talking about!"
I cringe backward and wrap my arms around my chest, defending me from a blow that hasn't been delivered yet. His voice is dangerous but his actions are even more so. I lean my back against the counter and whisper, "I'm not thinking about him."
I shut my eyes because he sounds like he's getting closer and I can't find any corners that I can curl up into.
"I know you're thinking about him! The house is freezing! I've been watching for ten minutes and it's written all over your face! What were you thinking about him! Huh? Is he better than me! Is that what you're thinking?"
He releases me and I crumple to the floor. He had grabbed my arms so fast I had no time to register what to do or how to deflect the attack. I can feel bruises already forming at my shoulders and my eyes begin to tear as my skin slowly realizes how hard he had grabbed me. I'm at his feet again. His bare feet covered in darkness and what ever he had been running home in.
"I know you were thinking about him."
"So what if I was!" I whimper, holding onto myself as I press my back to the lower cabinets. I'm starting to cry a little, "We're married, Jacob, isn't that enough?"
He slams his fist on the counter and I can hear the granite snap and crack, sending shards everywhere, "No! Because you still fucking love him!"
"You don't know that!" I scream as I try to scramble to my feet and run away. But he's too fast. He grabs my by my elbow and yanks me to him so hard my shoulder dislocates and I scream as I slam into his chest.
"I know that! I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE! YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT WHEN YOU THINK OF ME!" he's shouting in my face and I feel like he can kill me. He's shaking so bad I think he's going to shift right in front of me and break my body apart.
"Jacob please!"
He releases me again and I slump down, craddling my arm and crying harder because it hurts so bad and I know the only way to get it back together is going to take more pain. There's silence and I'm sobbing and I wonder what someone said to him to make him feel this way. Why is he so angry? Why is he hurting me so much?
He bends down but I flinch away again, "Jacob stop! Stop it! Please!"
I peak at his face and I see he is my Jacob again and the wild crazy man is gone. He's my light-hearted sunshine but his face is distorted into pure terror that hurts just as much as my shoulder. I wrap my good arm around his neck and pull him to me as he starts to cry and I clutch this Jake to me, the human one.
"I'm so sorry...Bella, I'm so so sorry..."
I rub his back as I try to calm down and calm him down too. We've both been captured, we're both victims here. He was right. I shouldn't have been thinking about him, I shouldn't have gotten him so upset, I should have made him the stupid hot cocoa, I should look at him more. He holds my face into his hands and kisses me softly and apologeticly and I know it's my Jake and not the wild man. The wild man kisses hard and bruises my lips. Jacob is gentle.
"Bella, please forgive me..."
"Jacob...shhh...shhh. It's okay..."I say, trying to calm him.
"You're arm!" he look down at me and starts crying harder.
"I'm fine!"
"No you're not! Look what I've done!" He stands up as if he's aboth to run away.
"Jacob don't leave me!" I scream and he stops, he waits in his tracks and I begin to sob again, "Jacob please don't leave me!"
He slowly lifts me up by my waist and cradles me against him like the wounded puppy I am. Against him I am warm and the earlier cold has vanished from every part of me. I'm home again in his arms and I know I'm safe.

Keeping the Team Together in Hospice Care
Nobody can accuse Thomas Knott of having a lack of passion or enthusiasm, especially when the discussion centers on his wife, their jobs or his dogs! When it comes to accusations, however, this couple was on the other end of them most of the time, as they both had long and interesting careers in law enforcement.
When Mr. Knott, who is known by the staff at Morningside House in Ellicott City as "Mr. Tom," starts talking about life with his beloved wife, Mary Jean, and their adventures, people soon realize that they are in the presence of a couple whose life could easily be the subject of a Hollywood movie!
Mary Jean operated undercover and was a known and respected administrator of polygraph, lie detection and interrogation. Tom was a renowned police dog trainer and administrator. His expertise was even called on from programs around the world.
Training dogs was part of Tom's job, but it also became the couple's passion in their leisure time. Over the years, they trained and raised many dogs and won countless awards at dog shows throughout the country.
The couple met while roller skating in New York in their early 20s. They both taught roller skating lessons and participated in competitions. This was the beginning of a long successful marriage and partnership as the couple enthusiastically shared a variety of interests, hobbies and vocations. The Knotts moved to Baltimore early in their marriage and eventually settled in a beautiful home on eight acres near Morningside House.
Down the road, Mary Jean's health took a turn and, to complicate matters, Tom was facing some health challenges as well. As opposed to leaving their beloved home, the couple hired home care assistance, but their experience was not a good one. They fell prey to poor care, unreliable help and worst of all, fraud and crime.
"It was frustrating and frightening, and I was really concerned about Mary Jean," said Tom.
Fortunately, the couple's physician took a keen interest in their well-being. With the assistance of his wife, he began to investigate better available options and helped the Knotts select Morningside House, an assisted living and dementia care provider.
"This type of situation is what makes my job so rewarding. Mr. Tom and Miss Mary Jean were in a very unsafe environment and to have assisted their physician's wife in the move to Morningside was as fulfilling as it gets," says Alan LeMay, Director of Marketing. "Knowing they are in a secure environment where people care about them makes every day better. This is the perfect example of how essential it is for seniors to be aware of all the options available to them in the community and how it affects their quality of life."
Since their move, the couple has been free of any home maintenance with the community's range of amenities including housekeeping, linen and laundry services. Morningside House also offers scheduled transportation, three daily restaurant-style meals and a 24-hour emergency call system that provides peace of mind for the Knotts and their fellow residents.
Individuals also have several opportunities for socializing with elegant common areas, weekly trips and private dining areas for family gatherings.
For the Knotts in particular, it was also an ideal location since the community's close proximity to their large estate still enables Tom to return frequently to get his photos, books and memorabilia. Having so many apartment style choices made it easy for the Knotts to choose a spacious one-bedroom apartment overlooking the courtyard that would accommodate all of their favorite memorabilia and comforts of their home.
With the goal of creating a win-win situation for all residents, Morningside's fundamental philosophy of keeping couples together despite their different care level needs made the transition and experience for the Knotts a very good one.
Although this convenience along with the location and services of Morningside House have been a perk for Tom, it is the care of the community that has had a true impact for him and his wife.
"The difference is dramatic; Mary Jean is eating and talking more," said Tom.
For Tom, the advantage is obvious, as he gets to spend all of his time enjoying Mary Jean, whom he refers to as "the other half of the team," instead of worrying if she is receiving the appropriate care or taking on the caregiving role himself.
Like the Knotts, residents of the community have a great sense of security knowing a range of levels of care are available. This also includes independent living, respite care, coordinated hospice care and on-site rehabilitation.
Now, after finding a home that could provide the optimum care and a range of amenities, it is impossible to accuse this couple of not making the best decision for a relaxing and secure future.

Lee police chief fired over cellphone billing
Lee police chief fired over cellphone billing
Aug. 21, 2013
LEE, Mass. (AP) — A western Massachusetts police chief who's been indicted on federal extortion and money laundering charges has been fired, but not because of the federal allegations.
The Lee Board of Selectmen unanimously agreed Tuesday night to fire Chief Joseph Buffis for what they said was improperly billing the town for his personal cellphone.
The board said the 55-year-old Buffis billed the town for nearly $5,000 over two years to pay for his family cellphone plan.
Buffis did not attend, but the Berkshire Eagle (http://bit.ly/16LeIk6 ) reports that his lawyer said she would appeal the termination.
Federal prosecutors say Buffis used his position to extort a $4,000 donation in February 2012 to a charity fund he controlled, then withdrew most of the money and used it for personal expenses. He denies the charges.

WEST MILTON — In an effort to expand the village's development opportunities, the West Milton council voted Tuesday night to purchase nearly 100 acres of land.
Council met in a special session to vote on this $1.1 million purchase which includes 97 acres located across the river on State Route 571 and Iddings Road, south of the Stillwater Golf Course.
According to Municipal Manager Matt Kline, this purchase will allow the village to address one of its biggest challenges — limited opportunities and space for growth.
"Over these years, we have met with many potential developers and interested entrepreneurs who have politely listened and have expressed a willingness to work with us and to do work here, however, the one thing the village itself is missing is land," he said in a report to council.
The goal of this purchase is to create jobs, strengthen the tax base, and enhance the community, he added.
The agreement does not require any earnest money to be deposited to confirm the purchase. It also includes a contingency period which allows the village time to make sure the land is suitable for future development, Kline said.
This purchase is not a development agreement, Kline stressed, but rather the first step in attracting an agreement in the future.
"At worst, should we fail, at least we will know that we are making every attempt possible. At best, should we succeed, it will be an exciting time to live in West Milton," Kline said.

First I would like to wish all a very Haappy, Healthy, Peaceful and Joyous New Year! Many of us take this opportunity to put into action the resolutions that we have thought about all year long. The problem with this is that by the 19th of January, statistics tell us, we are no longer motivated to continue our new habits. It is the same old, same old, and we are frustrated and upset with ourselves. I suggest that this should be the last year any of us thinks in terms of New Years Resolutions. THEY DO NOT WORK!
My suggestion is that we take stock of the things that have not worked for us in the past year, do some journal writing about each item so that we really understand what exactly it is that did not work for us and why. Do a bit of meditation on what we have discovered, and then take a giant step forward by accepting and loving ourselves just as we are… with all our baggage, all of our faults and all of our positive assets and then mindfully move into this new year.
Having completed those steps, we can now come from a more loving, and nurturing place; rather then from that harsh and judgmental mindset. The term for this is unconditional self love, and this is what enables us to make healthy, permanent changes in our lives. In order to begin change on a deep and meaningful level for life-long growth; we must love ourselves as we are right now, despite our faults, fat, laziness, and impatience. All changes must come from inside out, we must Bloom Inside Out. Plant the seeds for change deep inside, then care for them on a daily basis and watch them bloom.
I have found that when we do this deep internal work, accept ourselves for who we are, and love ourselves in spite of our faults; this love translates into an ability to permanently modify those behaviors for lasting change. We must take stewardship over our bodies and spirit, before we can take stewardship over our ailing planet. If you get healthy first, by healing your body and your relationships, you will by extension become a part of the solution for healing our planet as well.
If Bloom Inside Out and The B.I.O.™ Method can be of service to you in this New Years journey, please let me know at email@example.com

Halloween Beauty — Kim Kardashian As A Mermaid: Get Her Teal Eyes
Kim Kardashian takes the cake for the best Mermaid Halloween costume ever. Back in 2012, when she rocked the costume, we were obsessed with her hair and makeup, and we still are today. We spoke to a celeb makeup artist exclusively, and she gave us the low-down on how to get her stunning look.
How can we ever forget Kim Kardashian's, 35, mermaid Halloween costume? Not only was the costume itself stunning, her hair and makeup was flawless. With Halloween just around the corner, it is your lucky day, because Celebrity Makeup Artist, Amber Dreadon, is breaking down how to get the look below.
Get the look with tips from Amber:
"Dreamy aqua eyes are the focus of this look, so if you wear glasses, consider talking to your doctor about switching to prescription contact lenses, like ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses."
"Start with a natural bronzed base paired with a soft hint of pink on the cheeks and lips. Try using a cream blush that will work for both, so the look matches. I love Charlotte Tilbury Beach Stick in Las Salinas – it is so easy to use."
"Wash a soft sheer metallic gold shadow over the eyelid as a base. Choose one like Kevyn Aucoin "The Loose Shimmer" Eyeshadow in Candlelight it is so finely milled that it almost looks wet."
"With an aqua eye pencil – Make Up For Ever Waterproof Pencil 12L is perfect – line around the upper and lower lash lines and blend the edges out using a firm eyeshadow brush."
"Add a little smokiness to the outer corners of the eye with a deep chocolate eyeshadow. MAC Embark eyeshadow on a Smith Cosmetics #232 crease brush applied following the crease of the eye starting from the outer eye and blending inward will build up some depth."
"Use a dramatic doll-like false lash on the top lash line. As the glue is drying, push them slightly upward so that they really open up the look of the eye. Ardell Demi Pixies are a great doll lash and if you are new applying false lashes try cutting them in half and applying in stages rather than trying to get the whole lash on in one go!"
"Apply several layers of a Diorshow Mascara to the lower lashes to achieve Kim's clumpy effect. I like to use the mascara wand pointing upward and moving side to side on lower lashes so they can be slightly pushed together for added volume."
To finish off the look, get a blonde wig and style in sexy, beachy waves.
Do you love this mermaid costume on Kim?

A Facebook-sponsored Internet service has been suspended in Egypt, reports Nesma Nowar
A no-cost Internet-browsing service, called Free Basics, was shut down on 30 December, two months after Facebook launched the service with mobile operator Etisalat Misr.
Etisalat announced the end of the service on 31 December, saying that the two-month period granted to the company by the National Telecoms Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to run the service had come to an end.
An official from the Telecommunications Ministry told Reuters last week that Etisalat had only been granted a permit to offer the service for two months and the permit had not been renewed by the government.
The service aimed to provide free access to Facebook and some partner websites in developing countries.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Facebook said it hoped to "resolve this situation soon" so the programme could be restored. "We're disappointed that Free Basics will no longer be available in Egypt," the statement said.
"More than one million people who were previously unconnected had been using the Internet because of these efforts."
There has been speculation that the suspension of the service could have been for security reasons in the run-up to the fifth anniversary of Egypt's 25 January Revolution. Facebook played a pivotal role in the revolution as it was the main medium used to call for protests.
However, a government source told the Arabic daily Al-Masry Al-Youm that shutting down the service had nothing to do with security concerns.
He said that Etisalat had gained approval from the NTRA to offer the service for a two-month period only, as competition between the country's three mobile operators requires setting a specific timeframe for any offer. He added that it had been announced earlier that the service would be offered for a limited time.
Free Basics is part of a broader Facebook endeavour called internet.org that allows users in developing countries to use a selection of services without paying for data usage. Facebook said that the service consisted of a set of basic websites and services to introduce people to the value of the Internet and "add value to their lives."
A mobile app is free to download and includes Facebook and a selection of websites for key information like news, employment, health, education and local services.
But Facebook's efforts have met with obstacles in some countries, such as India where the country's telecoms regulator asked in December for the service to be disabled while investigating whether it posed a threat to net neutrality.
Net neutrality means that all data should be treated equally and that companies cannot pay for faster access or preferential treatment. Some argue that Free Basics is challenging Internet neutrality because it is free.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has defended the service, saying, "We should support free basic Internet services if we believe that everyone deserves access to the Internet."

My 3 year old insists on sleeping on the floor. Should I let him? by Clare Celea
Answer by Clare Celea:
Here's a parenting tip that is going to save your sanity:
Never make an issue of something that doesn't matter. New parents often feel they have to have Rules about things – you really don't. Have rules about the things that are important. Be kind. Gentle hands. Brush your teeth. Don't run into the road. These things matter.
I am actually struggling to think of an issue that could matter less than your example. There is no possible gain to be had from forcing him to sleep in his bed, except that you have made him do what you want and not what he wants. (This, incidentally, is massively overrated.)
Save your parenting energy and authority for the stuff that is actually important.

ese manufacturing fell for the second straight month in September, fuelling fears that China is continuing to struggle in the face of low demand from the US and Europe.
The Purchasing Managers' Index rose modestly to 49.8 in September from 49.2 in August, the lowest reading since November 2011. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
Two cuts to interest rates, an easing of compulsory bank reserve requirements that freed about 1.2 trillion yuan (£117.bn) for lending and approval of more than $150bn worth of infrastructure projects have so far failed to arrest the decline in China's overall growth.
Analysts at Barclays this morning said: "Another below-50 print suggests that industrial activity remains weak on soft demand."

Factories churning out tens of thousands of munitions and an entire street turned into a conveyor belt for car bombs: advances by Iraqi forces around Mosul have laid bare the scale of the Islamic State group's arms industry. In the more than two years since it seized control over swathes of the country, IS established a sprawling and highly organised system that experts say no other insurgent group has matched. The capability has seriously boosted the threat from the group as it battles ferociously to cling to territory in Iraq and Syria — and the fresh intelligence could now prove vital in countering its plots to carry out attacks on the West.

In Stockholm, Sweden these workers heard a tiny little meow coming from the inside of this stinky, rotting garbage incinerator. So they knew they would have to dive into this pit of smelly pit of trash!
This is where they started.
They had to shovel through this disgusting sludge.
Finally they found what was making the faint cries.
They immediately cleaned him up and gave him food and water.
He starting perking up!
Thankfully these workers paid attention to the little faint meow from this precious little kitten that now has a new life. Please share this with your loved ones and fellow animal lovers.

Retaining Walls in North Texas
Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to unnatural slopes. They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes.
How a Retaining Wall Works
Every retaining wall supports a "wedge" of soil. The wedge is defined as the soil which extends beyond the failure plane of the soil type present at the wall site, and can be calculated once the soil friction angle is known. As the setback of the wall increases, the size of the sliding wedge is reduced. This reduction lowers the pressure on the retaining wall. [4]
Professional Retaining Wall Installations
The most important consideration in proper design and installation of retaining walls is to recognize and counteract the tendency of the retained material to move downslope due to gravity. This creates lateral earth pressure behind the wall which depends on the angle of internal friction (phi) and the cohesive strength (c) of the retained material, as well as the direction and magnitude of movement the retaining structure undergoes.
Call Landscape by Design to design and build your North Texas retaining walls in Arlington, Colleyville, Grapevine, Keller, Southlake, and Fort Worth at (817) 355-1013.
The following are images of some of John Scott's North Texas retaining walls work.

Across the board car covers are the most valuable kind of cover there is. As it is by all accounts, car covers are realistic as they will guarantee cars without being unreasonably exorbitant, or space eating up. Carports are astoundingly expensive to gather, and not everyone has the space for it. A car cover on the other hand, everyone has space. Car covers are to an extraordinary degree insignificant and wrinkle up to fit in a side of the capacity compartment of the car. This allows the driver to carry the cover with him wherever he goes. By then he ought to just fly on his cover, and he has all the affirmation he needs. So truth be told, a car cover is far better than a carport, as it can oblige the car and secure it wherever on the planet.
Of the three sizes that there are, far reaching covers are the best. This is a direct result of the way that broad camry car covers will fit any car paying little respect to how enormous in size. This is to an awesome degree beneficial as when acquiring another car, there is no convincing motivation to buy another cover as well, from now on saving stacks of money. Moreover, cover can be shared among family and mates, dismissing what car they have, as the general cover will fit each one of them. The comprehensive cover is waterproof and will keep any sort of liquid, rain, slush or snow from working their way on to the car and harming it. Right when rain gets onto cars, does it leave stunning water marks, and additionally the destructive in the rain makes the paint separate? Subsequently the car looks rather crude and unpleasant.
Ultra violet bars from the sun are furthermore to an extraordinary degree unsafe for cars. They make the car overheat, and wreck the inside workings of the car. In addition, the car gets the opportunity to be excessively hot, making it impossible to drive in, as it is so hot and stuffy, and the driver can even burst his hands on the managing wheel. Ultra violet shafts blur the paintwork and annihilate the total so that a little while later, the car looks old and obscured. Breathable car covers enable the car to breathe in and sweat without getting steamed up and spoiled while secured. Air and sogginess are allowed out, through the surface of the cover. In the meantime, no clamminess is allowed in. Each and every broad cover is elasticized at the front and back of the cover to ensure straightforward accessibility for the proprietor to put it on and take it off. Thusly the cover can stretch out over any evaluated car, and still hold its strange condition of safeguard. Car covers have a security highlight also. Having a cover shields undesirable prying eyes from looking in and snooping around the car. If the car is secured, it is left as an unworthy target and remains car cover free.

COMEDIAN Nick Hall is coming to the Fringe with his play based on the life - and death – of Spencer Percival. "Spencer who?" I can hear you ask. Well, Hall anticipated your question during a chat from his home in Stratford and agreed the one-time Prime Minster, who died 206 years ago doesn't immediately suggest play potential.
"Spencer's story is actually quite boring," says Hall, grinning.
"He wasn't a remarkable Prime Minister, he didn't have a remarkable life. And he lived in a period that no one really knows about, sort of late seventeen hundreds. So what do you do with that."
Exactly. So tell us, Nick.
"What I did it was re-write Percival as an X Factor type, make it a rags-to-riches tale of a man who wants it so badly, "it" being the biggest job in the land.
"But as I'm performing as Percival we then drop the mask at that point and I tell the real story. I reveal the tongue-in-cheekness of the beginning was all part of my plan to draw the audiences in.
"I tell the real tale, which is a riches to-riches tale. Successful white guy become Prime Minister. This is our Hamilton the Musical. He's a classic gentrified character. But to get the comedy, I got the inspiration from Michael Winterbottom's A Cock and Bull Story, a film of Laurence Sterne's novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, featuring this character commenting on his own life, starring Steve Coogan. Spencer then becomes the lead character but Nick comes in to offer up an overview on how the show is going."
So far so good. That's the first half of the show. And Hall keeps it moving along swimmingly by dripping in references and comparisons to modern-day politics.
"And I make Percival a bit geeky like me. Someone just plugging along until he gets the job. Then about half way through the show something happens."
That something arrives in the form of a bullet. "Percival gets shot in the lobby of the House of Commons. Here was someone who wanted to be No 1 so badly, but now he's dead." Yes, but can Percival become a different sort of No 1? "After all, Elvis sold more records after he died. Could Spencer could have an airport named after him like JFK or John Lennon?
"Then we start to get all these fantastical conspiracy theories about who was behind the murder of Spencer. Who are the radicals of the day? Was it the Luddites? And for the denouement we find out who was actually behind the assassination, and discover it to be a very human story."
Hall adds in more serious voice; "I don't like to over-egg it but we go with the theory that bad things happen to people. There are parallels with the Jo Cox killing of two years ago. And in the play we go from a comedic form to a very different experience. Thankfully, audiences go on this journey. They know you can't come up with an hour long show about the death of someone. It's just not that funny."
Hall knows the dark world of politics. In fact, he could have become a spy. "I did a Masters in Russian Foreign Policy, back in 2005, in the time before the Crash when you could get away with taking such daft courses," he says, grinning.
"I was then contacted by MI6 to attend an interview.
But he reveals he flunked the test. Badly. But how? "It could have been because I told everyone I was going up for the interview. I probably put it on MySpace. I bragged to everyone."
Bragging is not a great personal quality in a spy. "No, and on top of that I couldn't actually speak Russian. I'd have be a rubbish secret agent."
The failed James Bond instead became a House of Commons researcher. "I worked for a few Labour MPs which was fun, you get access to the bar and all that. But it became boring. I gave it up and worked for a charity."
Yet, he'd always been keen on comedy. "It's all performance, like spying," he says, grinning. "Just a big improv show. And I'd always done comedy on the side, even when I was in Parliament, where I hired a room and actually did sketches."
He adds; "It's the arrogance of performing. It's in you or it's not."
It took Hall some years to hone his act. "I used to bounce off the walls, but gradually you improve. I can act a bit as well. I'm a six out of ten actor. And Spencer is a crystallisation of where I am now."
Spencer is an Alan Partridge-like creature, who's rooted in reality. Spencer's wife, Jane, also features in the play. "She's the proto-feminist, denied a voice," says Hall. "She's the Cheri Blair to his Tony."
The History graduate read all four Percival biographies. He knows his subject, even if his audience won't. "Although one bloke emailed me to say Spencer had 13 children, not 12 as I'd suggested."
But as he narrates the play, Hall claims a 2:2 in History, when in fact he has a 2:1."True," he says, grinning. "To claim a First would set me apart. Everyone gets a 2:1 these days, so a 2:2 helps you look more stupid, yet you can get away with presenting a History show." You wouldn't go all the way and claim a Third Class degree? "A Third would suggest your mentally faculties are severely impaired and the audience would refuse to pay money to see that," he says, his voice deadpan.
Reviews for the show suggest it to be very funny and clever. "It's certainly the only show at the Edinburgh Festival about an 18th century Prime Minister. Charles Watson Wentworth? Pitt The Younger? They're not getting a show, performed by a short guy in a fancy dress outfit;whereas Spencer is." He adds, smiling; "This may not be high art – but it is immortality."
Nick Hall: Spencer, Underbelly (Clover), Bristo Square @ 13:30. August 1 - 27 (not 13).

Our unique training method was developed over many years by Maître d'Armes Adam Adrian Crown, a lifelong martial artist and musician who drew upon his experiences as a martial artist, musician, and horseman to create a new approach to the sword, called the IFV (In Ferro Veritas) Method.
The method includes three main kinds of practice:
An etude is a pre-arranged sequence of movements that the student must memorize and perform, either alone or with a partner. These etudes correspond to the "scales" of music or the "kata" of karate, their purpose being to develop technical precision. The etudes are the foundation of the IFV Method.
- Etudes
- Tactical Drills
- Bouting.
A tactical drill is a relatively short pre-determined sequence in which two or more touches are possible and one of them is delivered. Tactical drills teach students to make good decisions "in the moment" of combat, always prioritizing defense. Also called "r&r" drills, for "recognition and response."
Bouting is our term for "sparring." Bouting is practice fighting during which the student must spontaneously interact with one or more opponents and apply all the principles of technique, tactics and strategy adequately and appropriately.
Another element that makes our practice unique is that our teaching is integrative in nature.
The sword did not develop, nor was it used in, a vacuum. We explore the relationship between the sword and diverse other fields, arts, sciences and disciplines, making connections between skills and knowledge from multiple sources and experiences; applying sword skills, knowledge and principles in various settings; utilizing diverse and even contradictory points of view; and understanding issues and positions contextually.
In short, we don't study the sword and nothing else; we study the sword and everything else.
We will address the ethos of the sword, which we refer to as "chivalry," its tenets and applications in the salle d'armes and in everyday life.
Lecture/discussion segments may include topics or issues that some might consider provocative, sensitive, unorthodox or controversial.
We respect all points of view that are the result of sound critical thinking.
Becoming a responsible adult means embracing the fact that virtually all knowledge is tentative, and must be open to critical examination. If the evidence warrants - and only if the evidence warrants - you should be ready, willing and able to change even the most dearly held and widely accepted beliefs. That is the essence of critical thinking, and critical thinking is the essence of the science of the sword.
| To understand the difference between Classical Fencing and "Olympic" or "sport" Fencing, just ask yourself one question:
What if They Were Sharp?
|Fact vs. Fantasy
|Classical Fencing
|Olympic Fencing
|Is it practiced as a method of self-defense with true-to-life techniques and tactics?
|Is it practiced with historically accurate weapons of appropriate weight, length, shape and balance?
|Does it take into account the possibility of multiple opponents?
|Is it practiced on various terrain and conditions?
|Does it take into account the possibility of a secondary weapon?
|Are "close" actions - tripping, grappling and disarming - taken into account?
|Are dissimilar weapons ever used?
|Are the effects of wounds understood and considered?
|Is it practiced as if it were, in every sense, real and not "just a game?"
|Are the physical, mental, social, legal, moral and even "spiritual" ramifications of deadly encounters considered?

Tiffany - Latex
What a sexy torso shot sent in to post by Miss Tiffany. I love black latex on anyone, but I think she puts it on display very nicely as it hugs her body in all the right places. I'm going to assume this miss is a Canadian considering the flag in the background, so here's a nod in appreciation from one CDN girl to another.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Sunday, Oct. 2, about 1 a.m., Port Arthur Police Department responded to a call regarding shots fired at the Avery Trace Apartments on FM 365.
PAPD reports that the suspect fired into a crowd near the apartment complex parking lot, wounding two people. Seven vehicles were also damaged during the shooting.
The victims were transported to the Southeast Texas Medical Center and released with minor injuries.
The suspect remains at large.
Saturday, Oct. 1 about 4 p.m., several 911 calls came into the Port Arthur Police Department reporting an accident with injuries at Gulfway Drive and San Antonio Avenue.
Officers responding to the scene discovered a GMC pickup that collided with a Toyota, trapping four people inside.
PAPD freed three injured people from the Toyota, but the other passenger was deceased. Justice of the Peace Tom Gillam identified the deceased as Bridgette Miles-Davis, 57, of Port Arthur.

A breast cancer diagnosis can be devastating. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that before 2016 has ended, there will be a total of around 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in women and that about 40,450 women will die. Although these ACS reports seem grim, the trends in breast cancer deaths have been steadily decreasing. Death rates from breast cancer have been dropping since about 1989, with larger decreases in women younger than 50, ACS reports.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Cleft lip repair
|Normal anatomy
A cleft lip is an abnormal opening in the middle of the upper lip. A cleft palate is an opening in the roof of the mouth (palate).
Cleft lip repair and cleft palate repair are indicated for:
While the baby is anesthetized and asleep (general anesthesia), the tissues around the defect are trimmed and sewn together with several layers of stitches (absorbable sutures). The skin is sewn together with very small, fine stitches (sutures) to make the scar as small as possible. In cleft palate repair, tissue from the back of the mouth (pharynx) may be taken to add tissue to the deficient soft palate (this is called a pharyngeal flap). Occasionally, more than one surgery is required for complete palate closure.
Most babies heal without complications. The cosmetic result often depends on the severity of the deformity and is usually quite good.

"God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation."—2 Corinthians 5:19b
A week before Christmas, a church they had never heard of contacted them. "We could boldly acknowledge that it was the working of the Holy Spirit. We were able to give them about 1,000 booklets in Marathi, English, and Hindi. They were planning to reach out in ten shopping malls during Christmas. God also connected us with a young couple who had a burden for their neighbors. They picked up about 500 booklets to give their neighbors."
Their report concluded, "This year was amazing and so encouraging in our ministry. All praise to Jesus Christ! I really feel we are on the brink of a great revival."
Persecution Increasing in India
Many ministries are reporting an increase in the persecution of Christians in India, leading to caution in publishing their activities. But they are not slacking in their efforts to take the gospel to every village. Governments may pass anti-conversion laws, but the Word of God is not bound, and faithful followers of the Lamb will continue to share His love no matter what the cost. Having WMP booklets to share is a great encouragement.
Another ministry which ministers to the unreached reported that leaders representing six states of India "were greatly encouraged by the content and size of the booklets. They are carefully using them to win souls and strengthen the seekers in the Word, as they have been praying for such materials for a long time. . . . Please thank all donors and prayer partners on our behalf for their partnership to reach India in our generation. Please pray for the safety of the churches and for the protection of believers and gospel workers as persecution again rises."
As India's economic power and presence grows on the world stage, millions of people still live a tribal, often nomadic life, continuing a history of poverty and dependent on superstition for spiritual guidance. An Indian ministry reported to WMP their desire to share words of salvation and hope in Jesus Christ. "Those who know something about the history of the Communist revolution in China," wrote Pastor P., "say that it was the PRINTED PAGE pouring from the RED PRESS that guaranteed the success of revolution. If there is such a potential in literature which comes from the mind of man, how much more power [is there] in that which springs from the very mind of God?"
The challenge is before us. He has committed to us the ministry of reconciliation. The time is short. Millions are dying daily without ever knowing their Creator and the One who gave all to restore them to Himself. We praise God that one of our regular partners has sponsored one of four containers destined for India in line for production here. Will you help?
Meet the Team
Binderies, Cutter
I have known about World Missionary Press since the 1990's. The church we attended sends a group of volunteers once a month, and I had the opportunity to come with them. I was so excited to learn what WMP was all about. What could be better than making God's Word available to as many people as possible? The fact that the Scripture booklets are given away freely appealed to me greatly!
In the fall of 2013, I learned of an opening at WMP. I applied and started as a bindery operator in December, 2013. I have learned so many new things, and I never imagined I would be doing some of the things I now do here.
Besides working in the bindery department, one of my main responsibilities is to operate a hydraulic paper cutter. Most of the color printing done here needs to be cut and/or folded in some manner. In fact, the newsletter you are now holding was cut and folded by me!
At the end of each day, I enjoy a great sense of satisfaction, knowing that my labor will impact countless lives for eternity! I also count it a joy to work with many other staff and volunteers. Where else could I work with so many people who have a passion for reaching the lost?
Another "ministry" I have is to donate platelets at the Red Cross. This is a life-saving matter for people in the physical sense. Donations can be made up to 24 times a year. I have done this for over 30 years. I also recently joined the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. I enjoy hanging out with my "little." I look forward to getting to know him better.
I have been happily married to my lovely wife, Tammy, for 31 years. We have three grown children and four grandchildren. Everyone lives close enough for us to see them often. Family is important to me, for family is one thing I can take to Heaven with me.
WMP Partners Around the World
Joshua M., Every Home for Christ
Sub-Saharan Africa
World Missionary Press supplies Scripture booklets in many languages to 31 African nations where an Every Home for Christ national director is either a major distributor of WMP materials or serves as WMP's volunteer national coordinator. Several container shipments are in transit. Several more are listed on future printing schedules, with some already in production.
WMP: Could you please describe your current ministry with EHC?
Joshua: As Ministry Relations Advocate, I serve as communications liaison between Every Home for Christ International headquarters in Colorado Springs and our 43 ministry directors in sub-Saharan Africa. These directors represent 40 nations in Africa, hundreds of staff, and thousands of volunteer evangelists. I have served in this role since the summer of 2015.
WMP: How does the availability of free literature affect evangelism in sub-Saharan Africa?
Joshua: I know that WMP literature increases the scale of our work in every nation that uses it. There is a cost to everything—even hosting an outreach where volunteers are trained and sent. When the material we use is gifted by WMP, we are able to host more trainings, mobilize more outreaches, and afford the follow-up efforts needed to disciple those who respond to the evangelistic pieces. We often equip partner churches with enough WMP literature to maintain consistent outreach in their respective communities. EHC gives the gift of training, and WMP gives the gift of material that prompts churches to reach their neighbors and add new believers to their churches. This excites and motivates pastors and whole communities throughout Africa.
WMP: What challenges face those who distribute literature in these countries?
Joshua: This varies from place to place. Several nations in Africa contain areas of strong social opposition to evangelism. Muslim and Animist communities often resist our workers and Christian material by rejecting, threatening, and even harming workers.
WMP: Can you give us an example of the effectiveness of the Scripture booklets and Bible studies?
Joshua: We heard from EHC Burundi in December 2016 that they were "reaching the schools of Mukenke . . . . The local administration was enthusiastically involved, and all the churches in the location. . . . [Many churches] worked together to share Jesus and give literature and Christian booklets from WMP. [They] were able to distribute all the literature from the stock in the region. It was well done, and many kids and students came to Jesus. The local administration said that God visited the region."
Directors who work in volatile and hostile parts of Africa have sent thousands of WMP Scripture booklets like candles into the darkest regions around. In some nations where we have no formal presence, we send WMP Scripture booklets through ministry partners. Reports are few from those areas, but we do know that God's Word is transforming people's hearts and illuminating the darkness.
