Jimmny's video rap sheet...god help me eyes...
I chose various shite packages of VHS 'greatness' for various reasons. Now find out why, with great actual back-of-the-cover quotes© where applicable! Also, to the chagrin of the Word 2000 spell check, I have retained all the grammatical mistakes in a (sic)-stylee. Any perspective screenwriter or, I don't know, The Wachowski Brothers, may want to take note, in case they have 'unconsciously' plagiarised them all.
Because I genuinely wanted to see them (gawd help me soul)
Mom and Dad Save the World. Years ago, I used to stay up until 3am and watch shite TV (plus ca change). One of the shows I loved was America's Top Ten which showed loads of U.S. film clips of trailers of top films that would soon be on UK and Irish screens, but of course, in the case of this fine Howard the Duck-style shite-slab, they ended up being sold years later for 50p in closing-down video shop, and being bought by a gibbering Irish lunatic.
Enemy Mine. "ENEMIES because they were taught to be. SURVIVORS
Because they had to be". I now own, and for 50p!, one of the first videos I first ever rented… that passes for achievement in my sad shitbox world.
Black Moon Rising
What the dillio? Tommy Lee Jones in an action style thriller written by John Carpenter and featuring a Knight Rider-style car, how could I not, and for 50p!
"In every good, there is evil. In Holly Gooding there is something worse. Much worse…"
Monolith "The Power to Destroy Worlds" (only got it because it's sci-fi and it had Bill Paxton in almost starring role).
Xchange "Out of bodies. Out of time"
The Wizard of Speed of Time.
Saw a clip of the ending of this flick years ago and for 50p it's worth it to own the finale, not the rest, though, ohh the 1980s…they could get away with anything. This does have a trailer for Ghost Chase, on it though. This one of Roland Emmerich's first US movies it look awful. My friend Pete looked it up on imdb while were were watching this and I said, I bet it has a rating of 2.8, sure enough it did, what kind of shit super-power is that! Being able guess shite movies imdb ratings.
I could claim patriotism with this one, but I chose it because it seemed to have lots of nudity of gore before I found out it filmed and set in Ireland: " Beware the beast within…Returning to his parents' ancestral home, Colum Kennedy (Allen Scott) discovers an Irish village populated by animalistic shapeshifters…" I could laugh in a disparaging fashion at this plot, but I wrote a similar horror novel about mutant cows in Co. Cavan called "Cannibull" I would claim it's 'lost', but it's just shite.
Scanner Cop "Imagine a cop who could read your mind and then blow it away"
Scanner Force "Scanners against scanners…the battle for total control has begun…within seconds…the fear…the panic…the agony"
Darkman II: The Return of Durant "Vengeance Strikes Hardest in the Dark!"
Dollman "Thirteen inches…with attitude"…"He was the toughest, baddest cop on planet Aturus. But when a high-speed space chase lands him on eath and right in the middle of a gang war, Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson) is in a class of his own. He's thirteen inches tall, armed to the teeth and getting meaner by the second…"
Because they are regarded as good films, or least, half-decent ones,
After Hours
Exit to Eden
Guily as Charged
Lord of Illusions
Mortal Combat
Resident Evil
"A secret experiment…a deadly virus…a fatal mistake…"
Strange Days
-December 30th, 1999..is it the end of the world or the beginning of a new one? Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) stalks the streets of Los Angeles, a street hustler, an ex-cop, a seller of broken dreams. (all well and good, but the last time I checked, new year's eve happens on December 31st!)
-Superstar Clint Eastwood is back in what the Daily Mail called "an undeniably tense thriller.
Trouble in Mind
Wise Blood
Because they featured statuesque warrior women. This, as any regular reader* of this site will know is own of my main perversions and peccadilloes, forwith:
China O'Brien
Dancing at the Blue Iguana
-Exposing their bodies…hiding their souls!
Red Sonja
-Two legends unite to defeat the greatest evil on earth.
Terminal Force.
-Laura(Brigette Nielsen) is a battle hardened warrior from a distant world sent to Earth to search for the mysterious Fire Crystal, key to all creation and the only hope of saving her planet from the armies of cruel invader Kyler…Amid incredible time-travelling and visual effects sequences, the two become locked in a battle with cops, the Mob and the enraged Alien, while the fate of two galaxies hangs in the balance. In a time of death-defying danger, may the Terminal Force be with you!
To The Limit
-When Frank Da Vinci's (Joey Travolta)** wedding day turns into a massacre, he finds himself in the middle of a war between rogue CIA agents and the underworld, The mysterious Collette (Anna Nicole Smith) has the key to unlock dangerous secrets—but is she a trustworthy friend or a deadly enemy?
[P.S. this scant plot synopsis is bolstered with the following titles in large letters to coax the cock-stroking wee lad into purchase: "Guess? Jeans supermodel and 1993 Playmate of the Year" and "The newsworthy 5'11" beauty fills the screen with her presence".
Because they featured Time Travel or Parallel Dimensions
Last Lives
"On the run from a parallel universe, only one man can stop them…time is running out!"
"They thought they had no future…but now they're in it!"
TimeCop " Turn back the clock…and you're history"…In the year 2004, time travel is not only a reality, it's an opportunity-for criminals of the future to alter the past for profit and power.
Time Runner
"From the creators of 'Xtro 2' and 'Shadowchaser' come this amazing 'Terminator'-style sci-fi thriller, starring Mark Hamill from 'Star Wars' and 'Bladerunner's Brion James. (what a fine use of 'quality by association')
"Jack Deth is back…and he's never even been here before!"
Trancers III
"Time waits for no man...Deth Lives"
Because they featured robots or cyborgs:
Death Machine
"In subterranean level 10 of the Chaank Corporation Building there are 23.2 billion dollars in bonds…an in vault No. 10…"
Project Shadowchaser
"Man created him, now man is the enemy. Project Shadowchaer. Billion dollar brainchild of military scientist Joseph Kinderman (Joss Ackland)..The dream—to create a perfect synthetic warrior. The reality—a deadly one-man war machine. Intelligent. Indestuctbale. Out of control…(but aren't we all)
"EVOLVER is at the cutting edge of robotics, an incredible 'smart' robot that grow faster, stronger and deadlier with every duel it plays. Originally designed as a highly intelligent killing machine, programmed to infiltrate enemy lines and eliminate ithout prejudice, it has been transformed into a state-of-the-art games machine"…err I can see where the problem may arise.
Nemesis 2: Nebula
Los Angeles 2073 Ad. It has been 7 3 years since the CYBORG race won the Global War. The surviving humans have become their slaves. A resistance scientist has created a super DNA gene, which will produce a powerful mutant human. The child will be the first of a new generation capable of destroying the CYBORGS.
Ghost in the Machine
"Last night a serial killer died…His body was laid to rest but his soul has come on-line. Free to continue this reign of terror by using electronic circuitry, the serial killer's next target is the unsuspecting Terry Munroe (Karen Allen) and her teenage son. Their only chance for survival is with the help of a brilliant computer hacker…"
Because they were set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, my favourite time and geographic period.
Salute of the Jugger
-In a futuristic world of the 23rd century ravaged by long forgotten wars, there is a violent and lethal game played by warriors known as 'Juggers'. Exiled by the all-powerful league, Champion Jugger (Rutger Hauer) and his team of gladiators roam the scorched wilderness challenging all comers to savage combat. But to regain their honour, they must re-enter the League and beat the elite team.
The ultimate game is about to begin.
And winning means more than honour Far more. Today the prize is survival!
(The L.A. Times called it "Relentlessly Brutal"… was there ever a better compliment)
The Survivalist
-The Time: Somewhere in the future
The Place: United States of America
The Event: Nuclear Devastation.
…You can destroy a man's country and pull his family apart-but you can never kill his spirit.
Future Sport
"In 2025, a revolutionary sport is the only way to stop a revolution."
Hey guys, want to come round mine and watch some videos…hey…where'ya going?
*I'm fooling myself that I actually have regular readers, they are, no doubt, at least mentally, irregular at best.
**Like that's a guarantee of quality.

Skin: Amor Vincet Omnia7:00 AM
Curated by Sonia Larbi
|Caravaggio, Amor Vincet Omnia, 1601-1602
My collection, which supposedly celebrates the plump and fleshy, would be remiss without at least one Caravaggio. And Caravaggio's Cupid is so very, very nude. What drew me to this painting was the realism in which Caravaggio painted Cupid's torso and arm. The chiaroscuro shades the muscles just right and brings out every detail with more than life-like precision.
Specifically, the small creases of Cupid's stomach as he steps onto the floor take my breath away. They make the painting a masterpiece. They bend Cupid in half and elicit movement in his wings. They make the painting believable.

Learn to do well... or else
We SHOULD be protecting our borders, our ports, our nuclear facilities. We should take a more isolationist stance in the world. Our borders ARE too wide open, not just in terms of defense, but in terms of culture and decadence. America, once a proud virtuous woman on a church pew, is now little better than a $20 whore on a street corner. Oh, how the virtuous have fallen!
WHEN (not "If") we are attacked again, we WILL have ourselves to blame. Because America has become fat, lazy, hedonistic, perverted, and dare I say it? Dangerous. Not simply to the world, but to herself!
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind"
Hosea 8:7
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Galatians 6:7
Go ahead, Hypocrites! Point your fingers and wag your heads at those who try to live virtuously and fall. Did you extend a hand and offer to help them up? Is there no stink of impropriety on you? Do you not also reek of lust, hatred, murder, avarice?
America is getting, and will continue to get, everything she deserves.
"Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
Isaiah 1:16-20
...Or don't. Continue to live in filth if you wish. Do you enjoy the whoredoms the world offers? Do you take delight in such things? If emptiness is your promised land... Behold! You are already there.
But if you want something better...
Please reconsider God's plea in Isaiah 1:16-18

This quote explains the public's possible realization of what's going on:
"I do think it's an invasion of privacy," says Melissa Bush, a business major at the University of Dayton. "But when you think about it, anything you post online is open season."
When she interviewed for an internship last summer, her interviewer told her upfront that they'd be checking her Facebook profile. She didn't worry because she's careful about what she posts -- but lately, she's been deleting messages from friends that she deems inappropriate.
"If you don't want people to read it, don't post it," Bush says. "If you don't want people to see a video, don't post it.
Obviously, when you post in the public domain it's open season for anyone to reply or critique. Unfortunately, only now are many people realizing this.

The DVD Studio Pro Simulator is a useful tool for verifying your project while you are still creating it. There are a few things to be aware of before simulating your project:
The Simulator behaves much as a standalone DVD player. This means you should have the links set to allow you to navigate around the project. In particular, be sure to set your First Play action to a suitable menu or track. If you do not yet have the assets that will be the actual First Play element, you can temporarily link to an interim menu instead. This ensures that an element is displayed if you start the Simulator by clicking Simulate in the toolbar.
There are also a variety of ways you can force the Simulator to start at a specific element. For example, you can Control-click the element in the Outline or Graphical tab, then choose Simulate from the shortcut menu. This allows you to test parts of the project without having all of the elements in place.
DVD Studio Pro Preferences contains a number of settings in the Simulator pane that allow you to configure the Simulator much like you would a DVD player. For example, you can set the Simulator's region code, aspect ratios, language preferences, and playback output options to test for different situations. See Simulator Preferences for more information.
Because the project has not been built yet, the Simulator must use assets as and where they are. This may lead to issues with playback, such as stuttering or pauses. The severity of these issues depends on the assets and the computer you are authoring on.
The Log tab contains a simulation log that provides information on a simulation while it is in progress. This information can be useful when you are trying to work out issues with your project.
The Simulator processes Pause After VOBU settings on markers set at slides in a track. The Simulator does not process Pause After VOBU settings on markers set on full-motion video clips (which it is not recommended to do in any case). The track plays as if the settings were not active. See General Tab in the Marker Inspector for more information on VOBUs.
When you author a DVD, it can be important to see the video and hear the audio with devices that closely match those that the viewer is expected to use. Being able to do this while simulating your project allows you to verify the video and audio prior to burning a test DVD. In particular:
You see the true color based on the DVD specification's YUV values instead of a computer monitor's RGB values.
You see the actual pixel aspect ratios. To display 4:3 or 16:9 video on a computer monitor requires the pixels to be scaled, which can create or hide issues in the video.
See External Video and Audio Monitoring for information on connecting external monitors. See Simulator Preferences for information on Simulator settings.
When using an external video monitor, keep the following in mind:
The external video monitor is only used during simulation.
When using an external video monitor, the Simulator window on your computer is inactive.
You cannot use the pointer to click buttons on the external monitor. You must control the simulation by using the Simulator window's controls.
Depending on your system and the video being simulated, frames may be skipped during playback to maintain synchronized playback with the audio.
You can start the Simulator at any time while creating your project. You should have sufficient connections set so that navigation is possible between the elements you want to test. The most important item to have set is the First Play action. If you select the disc in the Outline tab or click an empty area in the Graphical tab, you can set the First Play action in the Connections tab or in the Disc Inspector. You can also set the First Play action directly in the Outline and Graphical tabs. See Assigning the First Play Element for more information.
Click the disc item in the Outline tab, then choose File > Simulate Disc, or press Command-Option-0 (zero).
Control-click the Graphical tab's background, then choose Simulate Disc from the shortcut menu.
Click Simulate in the toolbar.
The Simulator opens and displays the First Play element. An alert appears if none has been assigned, and the Simulator starts at the first video stream of the first track.
Stop the simulation by clicking the close button in the upper-left corner of the window or pressing Command-W.
You can also start the Simulator from a specific element or part of an element, including tracks, stories and story entries, slideshows and specific slides, or menus and specific buttons. This is useful when you only want to verify a specific element without going through the normal project navigation to get to it.
Choose File > Simulate, or press Command-Option-0 (zero). (If no element is selected, the Simulator starts from the First Play element.)
Control-click the element in the Outline or Graphical tab, then choose Simulate from the shortcut menu.
Control-click in the element's editor, then choose Simulate from the shortcut menu.
The Simulator opens and displays the element.
Note: If the element you start the Simulator at has a pre-script assigned to it, the pre-script is not executed.
The Simulator window appears in front of all other DVD Studio Pro windows.
The area to the left of the video display contains the playback controls you can use to navigate within your project. Most are similar to controls you would find on a DVD player's remote control. You can click the Info button to open a drawer that shows information about the currently displayed element and the settings within the SPRMs and GPRMs.
You are also able to choose the resolution (SD, HD 720, or HD1080) and the display mode (4:3 Pan-Scan, 4:3 Letterbox, or 16:9) to simulate when not using an external video monitor.
Note: You can set the default state of these in the Simulator pane of DVD Studio Pro Preferences.
The playback controls are similar to those found on DVD player remote controls.
The menu controls let you test the project's remote assignments.
The stream selection pop-up menus operate like the Angle, Audio, and Subtitle buttons found on most remote controls.
You can click the Info button or press Shift-I to open the information drawer. The drawer can open on any side of the Simulator, depending on the Simulator's position. (You can press Shift-Option-I to have it open on a different edge.) The information drawer changes to match the current element type (menu, track, story, and so on). The Item Properties section shows information specific to that element; you cannot enter information into it. The Registers section shows the status of either the SPRMs or GPRMs. You can choose which to see by selecting the relevant checkbox. You can also choose to see the values in hexadecimal. You can double-click a value to enter a new value into it if you want to verify how your project operates under specific DVD player conditions. You can also enter a new name for any of the GPRMs.
The Log tab contains a Simulate view that provides details of a simulation while it is running. These details include any changes in the SPRMs and GPRMs, any navigation actions, and any jumps that are made.
Click the Log tab.
Choose Simulate from the View pop-up menu.
Simulate the project.
Note: The Log tab automatically appears once you start the Simulator.

Green Thumb Sunday
My question is this: Can anyone suggest a plant that is similar to bromeliads in shape and form (can even be taller) that withstands a myriad of light situations? I am looking for something to plant within the bromeliads that will A)fill in the blank spots, and b) possibly provide some cover for bromeliads. It's a narrow strip so the plants can't get any wider than say a foot and half at complete maturing. Height is not a big deal although some plants I have tried there (such as a shrimp plant) tend to hang over and get wide as they get tall. This strip is between a fence and a walkway that is used so I can't have anything impedeing traffic. When I say similar to the form of a brom, I guess I mean that "fountain" appearance.
The other side of the strip has been a delight to plant. It's mostly shade with late afternoon sun and I grow zanadu, bromeliads, peace lily, and anthrium (although they can die back if it gets too cold). I also have pots of orchids suspended in that area. It would be nice if there was some continuity to the two sides but I have never achieved this because of the difference in the growing environment. I hoped the broms would do that for me.
So, fellow garden bloggers, I have handed you a task. Are you up to it? Can you help me? More importantly, can you help my bromeliads? LOL Oh, and I did buy broms that are supposed to take sun but I guess they were not counting on the Florida sun!

Oh Lord...let me think on this a while. I will aslo pose the question to my Mom, a big gardener! I'll get back to you!

- Julie said...
How about a Bird of Paradise...it will grow up and sort of overhang the broms. It doesn't really look like a bromeliad, but we actually found this scenario right here in our neighborhood today...but I didn't have my camera. I will get a pic tomorrow for ya! I think you will like it. Will you be moving your bromeliads that are getting too much sun until then???
- September 28, 2008 at 7:57 PM
- tina said...
I probably really can't help you much. Bromeliads are not my thing and I think your garden sounds tropical so I'll give a bit of a try. Maybe yuccas? Or even prickly pear? These are drought tolerant and take sun or shade. How about pinecone ginger? My friend Lola in your neck of the woods sent me some and it is awesome! I'll be posting on it soon. Good luck!

I am sorry I got home late from work and it was already dark! I hate these early nights in the fall/winter months! I will take a pic in the moring on my WAY TO work! I was thinking other than Bird of Paradise, you could use ginger plants and just cut out any that hang too far over the patio floor. They would be taller, and kinda shade the bromeliads though, right??

OK now Vickie...this is rediculous! I missed an opportunity again today...tomorrow have to be at courthouse for jury duty at 8am...if I can swing it I will still get that pic for ya in the AM, and post in the PM. It WILL happen...sooner rather than later, I pray!!! LOL. Hope all is well with you! Happy October!

OK Vickie...I posteed the pic onj my blog and asked fellow bloggers for their advise as well. Keep in mind that the sun broms seen in the photo are about 1.5 ft. high!

Bon Appetit Management Company (BAMCO), a major food service company with over 500 locations in 32 states, is already known as a leader in the sustainable food. In the past few years, Bon Appetit has switched to cage-free eggs, fair trade chocolate and sustainable seafood. Now, the company has pledged to go one step further -- it will buy only humanely raised ground beef starting September 1.
According to the company's press release, the cattle must be certified by one of four independent animal-welfare organizations. Last year, 405,000 pounds of the 1.2 million pounds of ground beef and patties purchased by BAMCO held those certifications. That's another 800,000 pounds that Bon Appetit plans to add this year.
The Washington Post spoke with Fedele Bauccio, the company's CEO and co-founder (and HuffPost blogger), about the move. "I'm out to change the industry, and I want to be able to influence the big players to change their practices," he says.
Earlier this year, Bon Appetit also pledged to source its pork only from producers not using gestation crates.

We love this song. Have been singing it this weekend. We watched "Facing the Giants!" again and it ends with this so we are enjoying. Great movie and great song.
Loved learning today as our pastor taught about studying and living the scriptures. So often we just read and do not do what they say. whew. I understand that. Maturity is putting it to practice. I needed to hear that.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Warmly, Carolina Mama

Navy hospitals are banning cell phones from patient care areas after two service members - including one from Alabama - posted inappropriate photos of infants in their care.
Navy Surgeon General Forrest Faison said the prohibition on the use of cell phones from patient care areas will remain in place "until further notice." Faison also mandated additional training over the next two days for employees at all naval medical facilities and that commanders ensure any inappropriate photos are removed from social media accounts.
"Unprofessional and inappropriate social media behavior is inconsistent with both our core values of honor, courage and commitment as well as our medical ethics, violating the oaths we took for our profession and office," Faison said. "This type of behavior also has a negative effect on mission accomplishment and good order and discipline."
The crackdown comes after two Navy corpsmen - military medical workers but not nurses - at Naval Hospital of Jacksonville, Florida posted images in which they made newborn babies dance to rap music. Another image shows one of the women making an obscene gesture while referring to the infants as "little Satans."
The corpsmen were identified as Allyson Thompson and Joanie Barrett. Thompson is a native of Alabama and a graduate of Opelika High School, according to her Facebook page. The images were shared on social media and quickly went viral, prompting outrage and concern over patient care.
The hospital called the photos" outrageous, unacceptable and incredibly unprofessional."
The Navy said it is investigating the incident and the two corpsmen will face the legal system and military justice. Both have been removed from patient care.

The Company is the parent company of Capital Pacific Bank (the Bank), a business bank focused on serving greater Portland area businesses, nonprofit organizations, private schools and companies committed to sustainable business practices.
On November 19, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Pacific Continental Corporation. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015, subject to required regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of the Company.
"Our achievements in 2014 are significant, and are the result of our ability to provide banking solutions that reflect our core values and are aligned with the needs of our business community," said Mark Stevenson, President and CEO. "Our financial performance includes growth in earnings and a healthy balance sheet, both of which contribute to long-term shareholder value."
Net interest income
Results for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2014 reflected double-digit growth year-over-year in net interest income. In the fourth quarter of 2014, net interest income was $2.5 million, up 12% from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year, net interest income was $9.3 million, an 11% increase compared with $8.4 million in 2013. Growth in net interest income is a result of new business with a growing number of companies in our market.
Non-interest income
Revenue from deposit fees and other non-interest income was $233,000 in the three months ending December 31, 2014, up 4% from the same period last year. For the year, deposit fees and other non-interest income totaled $906,000, up 13% compared with the same period last year, reflecting increases in client account fees and earnings on bank owned life insurance.
Non-interest expense
Total non-interest expense in the three months ending December 31, 2014 was $1.8 million compared with $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase was the result of $268,000 in merger related expenses. Excluding merger related expenses, non-interest expense was down 2% compared to the same period last year. Non-interest expense for the year 2014 was $6.8 million, up 6% compared with the same period last year. Excluding merger related expenses, non-interest expense totaled $6.5 million, up 1% compared to the same period last year.
Net interest margin
The Company's net interest margin was 4.15% for the quarter ending December 31, 2014 compared to the immediately prior quarter's net interest margin of 4.00%. The increase was the result of unusually high one-time loan related fees. Excluding the one-time fees, the margin was 4.05%, consistent with historical results, reflecting a stable rate environment and year-over-year increases in the loan portfolio.
Total loans at December 31, 2014 were $202.7 million, up 8% compared with $188.0 million at December 31, 2013. Expansion in the Company's loan portfolio was due to growth in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, equipment financing, acquisition financing and working capital lines of credit, all part of the Bank's commercial lending segment.
"The stronger economic climate has furthered our loan growth, evident by additional credit needs of our existing clients that are experiencing growth themselves," observed Stevenson. "Our ability to customize solutions that integrate within the overall business of our clients is also driving results."
Total client deposits at December 31, 2014 were $223.9 million, up from $207.0 million at December 31, 2013, up 8% for the year. "Our deposit profile is that of a true business bank, with over 59% of client deposits in demand checking accounts and an emphasis in treasury related services," explained Stevenson.
Asset Quality
Asset quality is strong, with total non-performing assets of only $1.9 million at December 31, 2014 compared with $3.0 million at December 31, 2013. The ratio of total non-performing assets to total assets was 0.75% in the current quarter compared with 1.27% at the end of 2013. Non-performing assets, including performing troubled debt restructurings, were $2.4 million or 0.94% of total assets at December 31, 2014. The Bank's loan loss reserve as a percentage of loans was 1.40% at December 31, 2014, and more than 300% of non-performing loans.
The Bank remained well-capitalized by accepted regulatory standards as of December 31, 2014, with a tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.3%, a tier 1 capital ratio of 12.4%, and a total risk based capital ratio of 13.6%.
"We closed out 2014 on a high note, with a very positive outlook about our role in the market, the influence we've had upon all of our stakeholders, and our growth prospects in the future," Stevenson concluded. "On behalf of the Board of Directors and our staff, we wish to thank our clients and our community, with an ongoing promise to maintain our focus on building value in the future."

Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Flying Geese Pinwheel
Had sew much fun creating this 3-D Flying Geese Pinwheel for Vol 14 of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks:
And I was then delighted to find it featured on the cover. Fun to be a "covergirl".
And then, they sent a special gift, a calendar with my quilt - so now I'm a calendar girl too :)

First Kiss
Not the boy who took me to Homecoming Junior year because (a) we did not kiss and (b) he totally caught the gay after he got out of Port Huron. Probably he caught the gay long before that and just didn't know how to let people in on it. Port Huron, shockingly, did not (and possibly still does not, if I'm basing my judgement on the high number of Ron Paul signs I saw there in November) have the most open and liberal of atmospheres. And not the boy I frenched in the back of Amy Roche's garage on a dare because I was 10 and that was gross, and also not the boy who gave me a very dry lipped peck under a sprig of mistletoe Freshman year because that kis held about as much sexual longing as a kiss from your cousin (your non-incestuous cousin that is).
So anyhow, Homecoming '93 and other misc kisses aside, I did not start dating until I was 17 years old. The first boy I dated was the 20 year old manager of the movie theater that my friends worked (a movie theater I was not allowed to go to without resorting subterfuge for its first few years of existence because it was the greatest of all evils, NON UNION!). They sort of set us up after I admitted I thought he was cute (and seriously if I had like the one photo of him on hand to scan you would be all like, what is it about large headed prematurely balding 20 year old Duran Duran fansis it that you liked so much Carolyn? And I would have no answer for you except that I was a foolish foolish girl). On our first date we went to see the movie classic Speed together. My friends mad approximately 4 checks of the theater thermostat during the movie and he held my hand.
Afterwards we went to the Super K to look at CDs (because it was open late) and we may have gone for coffee at Denny's, but we definitely ended up walking along the St Clair River with it's scenic views of the Dow Chemical Plant in Sarnia, Ontario. He smoked a cigarette, we talked about politics (he was a republican, I was firmly not a republican, just an idiot) and finally he turned to face me and took my hands in his and said, "Are your hands as cold as mine?"
And, ever the romantic, I replied, "No, but I think you want them to be." Because seriously my hands were toaty warm in the pockets of my faux fur lined black plaid trench coat.
He laughed despite my poor form and kissed me. It was not nearly so bad as that time in the back of Amy Roche's garage. It was pretty nice really. Kissing tasted like a mix of cigarettes and peppermint gum and our lips were cold. The factory lights across the river twinkled and really, despite all my sarcasm it was a fairly roomantic moment.
We dated for 3 more months until my friends discovered he'd been doing it with his ex and some girl from a party he went to the whole time we were going out. Not that he ever made any claims to being exclusive but he also never said anything about seeing other people. It was a shaky situation for awhile because my friends all still worked at the theater so I had reason to hang out there fairly often. Luckily the other managers felt bad for me because he'd been such a cad so I still got to see free movies even when I was with non-theater friends. And he ended up moving to Holland, Mi after a few months so I didn't have to worry about run ins so much. So over all, this story has a happy ending I think.
As far as first kiss stories go, I think it's pretty good. Not perfect or anything, but just awkward enough to be sweet without being cloying.
How about you, oh great nebulous internet readers? What was your first kiss like? Did you have false starts too? Were you grossed out by all that tongue action? Was it perfect in every way? I don't want to be the only nostalgic sucker around here, tell me some stories.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A 29-year-old man was hospitalized Wednesday night after falling into a cave in Flagstaff Wednesday afternoon.
Flagstaff Firefighters were called to Mt. Elden to rescue a stranded rock climber. The climber had fallen into a cave and fractured his ankle.
Because of his injuries, the man was not able to get down off the cliffs. Firefighters were also concerned about an approaching thunderstorm.
About 14 Technical Rescue Technicians, firefighters and paramedics from the Flagstaff Fire Department and the Guardian Medical Transport responded to the call. They were able to lower the stranded climber 150 feet down from the cliffs.
The rescue took about two hours and the climber was taken to the Flagstaff Medical Center for treatment.
The climber is expected to recover from his injuries.

Ellie is 11 months old today. I know I keep saying time is flying by, but it really is! I still think of her as a little baby who rolls around on the floor, and suddenly she is getting close to toddlerhood. I'm not ready!
Things that are new with Ellie:
She says "Mama" when she is upset and wants me.
She is super clingy and gets really mad when I walk away from her for any reason.
She cruises the furniture and can squat down to pick something up and then return to standing.
She looooooves to get into her brother's toys (especially his cars, which makes him really upset).
She has almost mastered light switches and already effectively operates doors and buttons.
She adores her Daddy and watches him when he walks around the room.
She is REALLY FAST and can get into anything in an instant!
She has no teeth yet (really!).
She eats chunky solid food of all varieties. She's not too fond of mixed veggies, but other than that she will hoover whatever you give her down in seconds. Ellie also is learning how to use a spoon, but she has absolutely mastered all sippy cups (even James's) without much training at all.
She is almost always sleeping through the night now.
She loves to clap when you say clap, wave when you say wave, and knows what to do when you say "turn the page" and "the end." She loves to clap when you say "Yay Ellie!"
She HATES her car seat and will WAIL if in it for more than a few minutes. I'm hoping she outgrows this.
She is an absolute joy to be around, and I love her so much!
And while we are at it, here's what James is up to:
He still LOVES his cars and sleeps with at least one (if not 10) every night. He even stole a few from Papa's house. He doesn't have a specific favorite, they are on a rotating basis I think.
He is 97% potty trained (YAY!)
He gets jealous of his sister a lot and hates to share. He tries to steal any toy Ellie has and will even push her down to keep her away from his stuff (we are working on this).
BUT, he is super sweet with his sister. He gives her hugs and kisses and says, "I love Ewwie" all the time without our prompting.
He loves to sing Jesus Loves Me allllll the time, specifically in the car to "help Ewwie feel better" or at night as he is in his bed going to sleep (we hear it through the monitor). He also sings a number song.
He loves to count. He's pretty much got 1-20 down, and we are working on the others!
His current favorite movie is "The one with the clocks," which is Pinocchio.
His speech has exploded and he will say back any word to throw at him.
He loves to help me cook and gets upset when I cook without him.
That's all I can think of right now... they are busy little beavers!

Some of Buffalo's lowest-performing schools should be turned into charter schools, a local attorney told the Common Council's Education Committee on Wednesday.
Such a move would provide more flexibility to bring needed "structural" change to the troubled schools, said Steven H. Polowitz, a co-founder of Tapestry Charter School.
Yes, Steven. The reason charter schools outperform traditional public schools has nothing to do with the fact they pick and choose which students to keep. If they have a student doing poorly or causing problems in class, they send them back to the public schools. Most people know the main objective of weasels like Polowitz has nothing to do with education and everything to do with profit. You're not fooling anyone Stevo. Stick to something you're good at(ie. chasing ambulances).

FTSE-listed drinks giant Diageo has completed its $780.5m sale of Red Stripe lager to Heineken.
The deal was announced in October as the pair unveiled plans to swap assets in emerging markets.
Red Stripe will join other Heineken-owned beers like Desperados, Sol, Tiger and Birra Moretti, as Diageo offloaded its stake in Jamaican Red Stripe maker Desnoes & Gedden and Malaysian brewer GAPL to Heineken, while acquiring Heineken's 20 per cent stake in Guinness Ghana Breweries.

The drinks giant, the largest spirits manufacturer in the world, is using the cash from the asset sale to shrink its debt burden.
"The transaction we have announced today continues our proactive approach to our portfolio, enhancing our focus on the core to achieve Diageo's performance ambition," said the company's chief executive, Ivan Menezes, in October.
Diageo shares, which have declined one per cent in the year to today as the company's results struggled amid a slowdown in emerging markets, were flat in morning trading.

The KISS principle, NOT!
In 2002, the British government embarked on a $12 billion effort to transform its health-care system with information technology. But the country's oversight agency now puts that figure at $24 billion, and two Members of Parliament say the project is "sleepwalking toward disaster."That someone decided to approve this in the first place is either:
- Hubris
- Stupidy
- Proof that the more over ambitious and ridiculous your proposal then the easier it is to get a huge budget

Mike also re-uses an Open Source 68K CPU.
This means every addition or enhancement he makes is by law also open source.
This means the day he does sell the first board
he has by law to also make all the enhancements open source.
If he already sold a single board then he is in theory already under pressure to provide all sources on request.
This is nice for the users of Minimig, Mist and all others as they get a free copy of his stuff.
Commercially this is not an easy situation for him as there are
very good boards on the market which have more main memory
and much better FPGAs for a lot less money.
Its really a tricky market situation for Mike.
As soon as he ships the first board he has to free up all his VHDL code.
Then its only matter of time and cheaper and technically maybe
more advanced boards can provide the same AMIGA image
as his has for less money with stronger FPGA and more memory..

You asked me to write a letter about life. Of all the things I have written, I have never covered the subject of life. I figure I am going to write you a letter about what I have learnt while living my life that I would be happy to say I did.
The first is try everything once. I wouldn't be here or have met you if I didn't follow that. I think you should definitely try something new every opportunity you get. It leads to a full and interesting life and gives experience to make someone wiser.
Next, try living everyday like it is your last. Live within your means but also try and enjoy yourself everyday you're on this earth, because that car crash could be right round the corner.
Put fun before boredom. What I mean is, if in doubt, do what you think will be the most fun, in your academic and working life especially. We only live once so it may as well be a happy one, you will always do better if you're having fun.
The saying 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' is bullshit. Keep your friends the closest. Your friends are always the people who will pull you out of any trouble. You will always find your friends in times of hardship. Don't do what many people I have met have done and get too caught up with a partner and lose their friends, because when that person leaves, who do you have to fall back on?
Be happy and proud of where you come from. Don't be embarrassed by it, it has helped you shape you into you and it makes you unique. Always be proud of your roots because it will give you the perfect grounding in life.
Exploit your talents. Not just if you are good at sport or art, but things like being kind, friendly and fun. If you exploit these you will always go further and enjoy things more.
Take compliments to heart. They are not dished out often so when they are keep them and enjoy them. It makes the hard work in whatever you do worth it.
Finally, be yourself. It is the only person you can be. It only brings unhappiness if you are something you are not. People hate fake personalities; they will appreciate you more if you are genuine. There isn't a need for you to change for people, if they don't like you for who you are, somebody else will. This is the one I most struggle with myself, it bothers me what other people think, when it shouldn't, and it is taken me until now to realise this.
So I would like to think that when I am laid out at death's door and I look back, if I have followed this, I will smile and breathe a sigh of relief, because I will have won life's game.
So maybe you learnt something, maybe you didn't. You may treasure this, or toss it in the trash. Maybe I have just wasted some precious moments of your life in reading this. This is what I want to live by, I don't always do it, life gets in the way, but I try to get as close as I can.But when all is said and done, the biggest advice for life is there is no advice; just take it as it comes.

My never-ending quest to get a handle on Graveyards has inevitably led me to eBay, where I picked up this cassette at a decidedly non-eBay price. Actually it was one of those instances where I left a bid and completely forgot about it until I got an email saying I had won. Which can be a double-edged sword because a lot of times I bid on stuff and hope I lose so I won't have to actually pay anything but can at least say I tried. Don't ask, it's a psychological thing. Anyway...this tape comes in an edition of 77 and is in fact probably still available from various outlets but you'll have to check that out for yourself. Comes with a Xeroxed insert and the tape itself is spraypainted pastel purple. Nice!
"Fuck Marks" opens with some dusty clustered percussion feels and shortly thereafter a few drunken sax loops...I think there's also some kind of lo-fi electronics (probably courtesy John Olson, if it's anything like on "Unmarked Graves") that sound like globules shifting underwater and rain droplets connecting with exposed live wiring. Pretty soon Olson jumps back in with some near classical jazz/film noir lines and speaks in a tongue reminiscent of Steve Lacy circa "Paris Blues", although maybe that's just fresh in my mind since I was listening to it recently. Hmm..."Paris Blues for the Night People"? Why not.
The other, longer side demonstrates more chamber-style cabaret creep-outs with a constant metronomish clicking and sparse contributions from all three members. I think there's a touch of Wolf Eyes to be found here as somebody's wielding a reaper's gong, though I couldn't tell you if it was in fact Olson or perhaps Ben Hall since he's on the kit and all. There's certainly some tense vibes coming through loud and unclear from Hans Buetow's cello, and later on some raspy sax throat like dull withdrawals. The trio lapse into a set of heavy-thinking near-ambience as they're more than prone to do, all set to that perpetual clicking before the brass comes alve once more for a few brief gasps. Then Buetow jumps in as active as I've ever heard him play, working up a mild fever on the cello while the other two drop back to give him plenty of room to maneuver. Later on he and Olson engage in a nifty back-and-forth before all hands, legs and mouths are removed from the instruments and the tape runs dry.
I'd estimate the tape to be a bit under half an hour, all told. Personally this is one of the best Graveyards documents I've heard to date, up there with the aforementioned "Unmarked Graves" as top pick. I think Graveyards are perfect for the cassette format, or at least a format more condensed than a double LP or CD...but what do I know. Dammit Jim I'm a doctor, not a docto-oh wait yes of course!

Pictures from surgery day!
Mommy holding James one last time before he went back to the operating room...and yes, I cried like a baby when they took him out of my arms!
James in the recovery room...waking up!
John David hanging out with brother in his hospital crib!
Auburn Baseball Team came by for a visit...
James had double hernia surgery yesterday at Children's Hospital. Can I just say how thankful I am that it is OVER! We are so blessed to have two healthy baby boys home and thriving. Being at Children's Hospital confirms how blessed we really are. There are so many sick babies there. It really does tug your heart to see so many really sick kids fighting to survive. I find myself praying for God to shower those families with peace and comfort and healing for their children.
James did a great job during his surgery. He was asleep for about 2 hours (LONG TIME FOR MOMMY TO PACE THE FLOOR) Rob and his dad (Papa) where there to help pass the time along. Once James was out of surgery Rob and I were able to sit with him in the recovery room until he was strong enough to go upstairs to his room on the fourth floor (where we spent the night). John David was a good boy as he tagged right along with brother. The night was horrible (as you can imagine); feeding two babies and listening to alarms go off every 5 minutes and babies next door screaming all night. However, I continued to count my blessings and thank God for the healthy baby I new I was going to leave with the next morning.
Thank you all for your sweet thoughts and prayers. The phone calls and cards mean so much.

Laura Veirs - Tumble Bee
released 7 November 2011 on Bella Union
One of the joys of music is the thrill of discovery. Whether it's on the recommendation of a friend, prompted by a well-written review, or completely by chance, there's a sense of satisfaction that accompanies finding a really great song or album of which you had no prior familiarity.
Before you reach that stage, however, you're likely to listen to whatever your parents play and, in recent years, a sub-genre of adult-friendly kiddie music has been steadily growing. Presumably, the aim of such an exercise is to tempt children away from the babbling nonsense they find so appealing and get them to listen to something that doesn't make Mummy and Daddy want to stove their own heads in. However, there's something about it that somehow smacks of snobbery, and there's a nagging feeling that particularly opinionated parents will use such albums to condition their children into listening to music they "should" enjoy.
Tumble Bee, Laura Veirs' album of folk songs for children, doesn't particularly buck this trend and unfortunately falls awkwardly between the cracks. Much of the instrumentation and production is beautiful and light, but it's difficult to believe a child will be engrossed in this when they could be listening to Rihanna or playing Angry Birds.
Veirs has maybe been slightly naïve - though this does suit the innocent, nostalgic feel of the record. The majority of the songs here are covers, several are traditional folk tunes, and they are handled in a delicate and expert fashion. All The Pretty Horses is a plaintive ballad, gorgeously framed by sweeping strings - more of a lullaby than anything - and the jaunty, slightly out-of-tune piano makes Jack Can I Rider? utterly charming. The songs most likely to appeal to children tap into their inquisitive nature or feature repetition. Why Oh Why asks, "Why can't a bird eat an elephant?" and "Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?" and King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O features a nonsense chant the under-5s are sure to lap up.
Elsewhere, you wonder what Veirs believes will particularly tap into the child psyche. Lyrics aside, Little Lap-Dog Lullaby wouldn't sound out of place on a Fleet Foxes record, and as good a song as it is, the title track's verse is in 9/8 time – it doesn't exactly scream "one for the kids", does it?
Ultimately, it seems Veirs has tried to do two things at once and has ended up doing neither particularly well. Despite this, it's actually a rather enjoyable record, though it's difficult to imagine when you'd ever play it. If you're in the mood for something with a touch of pedal steel, you're not going to reach for an album whose opening line is "Come up, horsey, hey hey". Similarly, if Junior's looking for kicks, finger-picked folk meditations are unlikely to be on the menu. Perhaps it's a compromise album – put it on during a long car journey with the family to pass half an hour and no one's likely to kick up a fuss.

"When I applied for the Programme, I said I was interested in a technical role because I wanted to use my degree and Assurity made it happen. I was assigned to a client site for training and then offered a role as a Performance Test Engineer.
I'm currently at Inland Revenue in the Performance team with six other Performance Test Engineers working on different projects/products. We have daily stand-ups where we update everyone of what we're doing, our next tasks, and if anything's blocking us. There's constant support from the team too – and lots of laughter! Assurity people are amazing, very approachable and friendly with so much passion, skills and expertise.
What I really like about my job is the idea that what I'm doing now will have an impact on the people of New Zealand. My team ensures that the system's performance will meet users' needs, is robust and won't take forever to complete a task. I personally like coding to mimic users' behaviour, as well as analysing the system's performance after executions.
I'd advise grads looking to apply for Assurity's Graduate Programme to really research what Assurity does, its principles and culture and consider hard if this is what they want for their future career. Having the right technical skills is an advantage so, if you do have them, be confident and showcase them when you apply! Feel free to inquire and ask questions too, even before applying."

We're in the middle of SXSW. I've done a pretty good job of staying far away. With the exception of a few meetings and starting tonight a few friend's films.
A bunch of my high school and college friends will be in town for the second half of SXSW. The music part. I'm anxious to see their sweet little faces.
JUMPING is moving forward. Kurt and I have storyboarded half of the film. I start casting next month which I'm super excited about. I love casting. It's one of my favorite parts of making movies. I've locked almost half of the locations. I still have a few hard ones to get which are kicking my ass. So much more, but I must depart for now.
I need to keep telling my boyfriend that I love him and this will all be over at some point.

I cant really put down my feelings. I dont even know what am I feeling. We had a Mohon Restu session the other day & I was relieved to be able to cry myself out on my friends' shoulders, especially the ones who happened to gradually turn into strangers. I felt grand.
I'm still missing you, everyday, every time. You're my last thought at night & the first when I wake up. You're the reason why I constantly check my phone to see if there were any texts from you. I constantly contemplate calling you, but I have no guts to do so. I'm sorry for being too emotionally attached.

Giant 18" Kong from Skull Island. Exclusively sold at Wal-Mart.
Giant 18" Kong from Skull Island. Exclusively sold at Wal-Mart.
A rare Kong vs V-Rex battle toy. Kind of works like Rockem Sockem Robots. There spots on the chest of Kong and side of the V-Rex that when hit will cause them to collapse.
Height: 10"
A pretty good sculpt. Not exactly screen accurate though. Something is off with the face and I don't know why Ann Darrow is now a brunette in a red dress. Must be based off of this movie poster.
Height: 6"
Comes with extra hands and faces (even stupid goofy faces) for various poses.
One complaint about this figure: in the attempt to make it super-articulated, there are lots of ugly seams and hinges that ruin the integrity of the fur and detract from the sculpt.
Aside from that, it's a great figure and probably the last one we'll see for awhile until the Skull Island movie comes out in 2017.
Watch video review from Ain't It Cool News
Height: 6"
Height: 6"
The best looking V-Rex toy made. It's a shame the vinyl version by X-plus didn't look like this.
Height: 13"
He roars. He pounds his chest. He has motorized wheels in his hind legs that make him awkwardly roll across the floor.
I love a big Kong toy, but they should've left it at just a roaring, chest-pounding ape.

Getting up this morning was not that easy. I hadn't slept too good so I skipped the first session to try to get some more sleep and get more out of the rest of day.
When I got up I went to a talk called Pick Your Protocol: Creating Web Services with Zend Framework by Matthew Turland. He had some technical issues to begin with so the talk was about 10 minutes too short. He talked some about REST, XML-RPC and SOAP and showed some examples using Zend Framework. Unfortunately I didn't get too much out of this talk. If he had had two hours instead of one it would have been much better.
After this I went to check out Stefan Esser's talk about Lesser Known Security Problems in PHP Applications which I thought was good! No doubt that Stefan is very good when it comes to security issues (and probably lots of other things as well). Some of the issues he talked about was a bit obscure and requires the attacker to know allot about the system before attacking. Since there are so many open source products out there today this is often the case anyways so the stuff he talks about is very important.
After this talk I had some lunch and sat down with Morten Amundsen from Teleperformance and had a chat with him. Apart from Naveed and myself I believe Morten is the only one from Norway at ZendCon (with the exception of Sebastian Bergmann and Derick Rethans who at the moment lives in Norway).
As soon as lunch was over I headed over to see Ben Galbraith's talk about State of Ajax which was probably one of the best talks here. People at the #zendcon channel on IRC just wanted to let him talk on, which I agreed to. The presentation was absolutely great!
After this I went to see Terry Chay's UnCon talk called Making frameworks suck less. Terry Chay is an entertaining speaker and has some pretty interesting views on the topic. I also saw his "The internet is an Ogre" talk at php|tek in May which also was good.
When Terry was done I went across the hall to see Sebastian Bergmann's Quickstart to Continious Integration talk. He showed us phpUnderControl which looked cool. As stated earlier I will try it out for some of the stuff I do at work. We have a dedicated machine for Subversion and Trac and I will probably try to get phpUnderControl up on that machine and see how it goes. When that happens I'll be sure to blog about it.
At this point I was getting really tired but there was only one more session for the day. The last talk I attended was High Performance PHP & MySQL scaling techniques by Eli White. The talk was pretty much the same one that Eli did at php|tek in May. I learned more from the talk Jay Pipes did on Tuesday which was a bit more technical than this one.
When all the talks was over I headed over to the hotel bar to have some food together with a couple of guys I had talked to on the #zendcon IRC channel. At the bar I met a guy called Laurence Chalem who worked at Cisco that had written a book called Thrive with Diabetes. He was not here for the conference but lived close by and used to come to this hotel to eat. There was actually a guy from Norway who had written a chapter in his book. I don't have diabetes myself but I know a couple of people that does have it, and some of the things he had to say was pretty interesting.
After we had finished eating we went up to check out the Yahoo! party here. The drinks were more than at the hotel bar so we just headed back down. I had talked to a guy called James about going someplace else to get a drink so we teamed up with Shahar, Nick, Alexander and Masi from Zend and headed down to San Jose to check out some pubs.
First we headed down to a street called Santana Row and went for an "Irish" pub called Rosie McCann's Irish Pub that turned out to be a really bad disco. The description of the place from sanjose.com is kinda funny:
Rosie McCann's Irish Pub in San Jose isn't a typical Irish bar because being located in swanky Santana Row it has to play host to trendy diners and drinkers rather than brogue accented boozers who's tastes don't stray far from the meat and potato spectrum.
A bit prejudice, eh? If you are ever in San Jose looking for a good pub, please don't go to this place.
We quickly got out and headed over to something completely different. The name of the place was Oasis and was what they call a dive bar, with karaoke and pool tables. We all liked this place allot more anyways so we stayed here for a while playing pool and listening to all the people singing. Quite fun.
Since we now had seen two extremes we wanted to go for something in between to just relax at the bar. Nick knew of a place nearby so we went there for a beer before going back to the hotel to get some sleep.
I was exhausted when I returned to the hotel (around 02:30) and I probably fell asleep before I hit the bed! I will go out for some food now (~19:00 on Thursday) so I'll write more about todays talks later. I have also managed to get an USB cable so I have downloaded the photographs I have taken as of now and will upload some of the later today.

Trailer mashup of the Terminator trailer and Number 5 from Short Circuit. There is no stopping Number 5! Who doesn't chuckle when they think of Number 5?! I think this is better than my last trailer attempt. Mostly because I just follow the original trailer with some clever/not so clever Short Circuit clip inserts.

There are many reasons why breast lift is the second most popular cosmetic breast surgery in the United States, after breast augmentation. In fact, we can think of at least three good reasons why we see so many breast lift patients at our Long Island practice. Women of all ages and from all walks of life choose breast lift to enhance the appearance of breasts that droop and sag. Here are the three most common scenarios in which women consider breast lift on Long Island at Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery.
After Pregnancy
It should come as no surprise to moms that after pregnancy and breast feeding, your breasts have likely seen better days. Most women see an increase in breast volume during pregnancy, only to lose this volume (and potentially more) after childbirth. The added volume in the breasts often causes them to stretch and sag. Some women, particularly younger moms who have a very elastic skin tone, will continue to enjoy attractive breasts after pregnancy, but many women are disappointed with drooping breasts and turn to breast lift cosmetic surgery as part of their mommy makeover.
To Correct the Effects of Aging
How many times have you heard the expression, "With age comes wisdom"? Having perspective and knowledge is an important part of growing older, but we all know that with age comes many other things that aren't so good. The perky, full breasts that most women enjoy in their youth are gradually replaced with unwelcome sagginess and drooping. To reverse this effect of aging, Dr. Romanelli performs a breast lift that elevates the position of the breasts and re-contours their shape. Many patients are pleasantly surprised to learn that after their procedure, their breasts will look perky and have an attractive shape even when not supported by a bra.
After Weight Loss
Women who have lost a significant amount of weight often have a whole new lease on life. But they also have areas of loose skin, and the breasts are one of the most common areas that look saggy and deflated. A breast lift can help these women gain a renewed sense of femininity and feel more satisfied with their weight loss results. In fact, because many women who lose a lot of weight also see a significant loss of breast volume, many post weight loss patients choose breast enlargement using saline or silicone gel implants in conjunction with their breast lift procedure.
Think you may benefit from a breast lift? Request a free appointment at Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery or call our office at (631) 424-3600 to learn more.

Peach Torte!
April 21, 2011
This dessert is bursting with the delicious flavor of fresh peaches. A delightfully fluffy and tender-crumbed cake, this peach-and-hazelnut torte floats on a puddle of fresh peach and vanilla cream sauce. Accompanying the cake are two sensational icy scoops: white peach sorbet and honey ice cream. What a fabulous harmony of flavors, textures, and temperatures—and you'll be amazed by the fresh, juicy peach flavor in every bite. It's a fabulous way to finish a meal.

Gorgeous, blonde Mistress Stella has ordered her slave to lick her filthy high heel shoe soles clean. She sits in the park and plays on the phone while he uses his tongue to clean them, over and over again. His shoe worship will last as long as she pleases, since every time he licks on clean, she sets it right back into the mud to make him clean it again. Once she tires of the game, she cruelly laughs and walks away.
Sanella and Princess Diavola are two gypsy dominas who get together to watch their slaves worship their feet. They both sit together on a sofa while these two white loser slaves kneel at their bare feet. They lick their sweaty feel all over and stick their tongue between their toes. They love to sit together and talk while their slaves lick and worship their bare feet and laugh at their humiliation.
This gorgeous, young Femdom is in a cruel mood. Not only has she decided to humiliate her slave by spitting into a cup and forcing him to drink it, she also has a mind to shove her thick boots into his face and crush his head. Although he starts on the couch, he is soon slapped and kicked to the floor to have his hair pulled and his face thrown to the floor to lick her precious boots with his slave tongue
Lindsey Leigh has accepted a new patient and she knows just how to help. She models her Christian Louboutin heels and instructs her patient on how best to masturbate to them. She does not allow the patient to orgasm outside of her sight or to desire any woman in high heels beside her. She is in total control and she wants to help. Her jerk off instructions are the absolute best in the business and they are guaranteed to produce results.
Madam Mysteria shows no mercy when it comes to punishing her slaves. This hot blonde in stockings starts trampling her nude slave. She walks all over him like a human carpet and crushes his body with her full weight. She even bends down and holds her hand over his mouth so he will shut up and stop moaning every time her feet dig into his chest. She is a cruel mistress.
There is nothing more beautiful than two sexy lesbians worshiping each others feet. Dorothy begins smelling Clarrissa's delicious feet through her sweaty socks. Unable to argue with the drenching that her pussy has taken, she slides off Clarissa's socks and starts licking her sexy, bare soles and toes. She is so turned on that her mouth waters and her saliva runs down the girl's heels. The black polish on her gorgeous toenails begins to shine with Dorothy's spit as she relishes the taste of girl feet.
Gorgeous Goddess Anna is feeling particularly cruel today. She has her slave kneel before her bare feet and take the pain as she slaps him, again and again, with her toes and soles. Along with being a foot slave, she also wants to turn him into a spit slave by grabbing his face and spitting right into it. She grabs his hair and uses him as a spittoon before going back to slapping him with her very pretty bare feet.
Beautiful Sweetbaby needs her boot soles cleaned and she won't accept anything less than perfect service. Before she shoves her filthy boots into her slave's face, she scrapes the excess mud off by grinding them into his worthless balls until they're ready to burst. Then, she walks up his chest with her full full weight and takes a comfortable seat. She makes her boot slave clean every last bit of dirt from her knee highs and laughs at his pain.
Beautiful Madame Marissa has decided to cook for her slave the only way she knows how. First, she finds a delicious croissant. Then, she seasons it with some of her delicious spit before stuffing it into her nylon to cook under her bare sole. After a night of dancing, she lets it marinate under her sweaty foot all night long. The next day, she throws on a pair of old boots and heads to work. One hard day's work later, she finally pulls out the croissant, breaks it up on the floor and feeds it to her slave with her toes.
Madam Mysteria is a strong and buff mistress who completely dominates her slaves. She makes this slave wear a mask and lie on the floor nude. She starts trampling his full body with her high heel boots. The heels dig into his flesh as she walks all over him like a human carpet. He lies there helpless while she tramples his body up and down so he can feel pain and humiliation.
This Polish mistress has a foot smelling session with her loser slave footboy. He lies under her chair that she has him tied to. He is forced to lie there while she makes him lick her high heels. He has to sniff her stinky feet and lick all the sweat off. The slave doesn't mind. He loves the humiliation. He has a foot fetish and is more than happy to sniff her feet.
Mistress Marissa lets us follow her on her foot worship session. She starts by going to her trunk and filling her boots with milkshake. She puts her boots on and the ice cream squishes between her toes. She walks back inside where her footboy is waiting. She takes her bare feet out of her boots and makes him lick all of the milk shake off of her feet like a good footboy.
Cindy is very good at what she does. She has a secret that makes her so good. She relaxes by making her slave worship her feet. He lies under her desk and waits for his mistress to present her feet. She rubs her bare feet all over his face. He licks off all the sweat with his tongue and puts her sexy toes in his mouth. He enjoys being her foot slave.
Mysteria is a dominating mistress in red high heel boots and fishnet stockings. Her slave John has no chance against this powerful and dominating blonde. She makes him worship her feet and lick her nice red boots all over. Then she makes him lie down on the ground so she can crush him with trampling. She stands on his chest with her full weight and digs her high heels into his chest.
Maya Sue gets tired of having male slaves all the time so she decides to get a female slave to humiliate. Thin and pretty Runa lies on the floor to be dominated. Maya Sue stands on her with her full weight and starts giving her a full body trampling. The petite slave's body is crushed under the full weight of her dominating mistress but she just keeps going like she's a human carpet.
This sexy mistress in tight jeans shows no mercy on her victim. She makes her slave lie on the floor while she dominates him with painful facestanding. He just lies there while she stands on his face with her ballet flats. She crushes his face with her full weight and even pushes against the wall for extra leverage. She loves to feel her slave's face crack under her dominating feet.
When she works out, she has to have a slave under her. She doesn't like working out alone or with nonliving equipment. To start her day, she starts her step routine. She steps on and off her slave until she has warmed up. When she is ready to move on, she is happy to do her balancing exercises. She stands on her slave and holds her balance for as long as she can, for as many times as she can.
Manon is a mistress that won't let go. She is a woman that refuses to let her slave go on with his life. Instead, she gets into his house and makes him lay on the sofa. As she tells him what he won't do under their new contract, she takes her boots off. She makes him smell them. She sits on his stomach and rubs her feet all over his face. When they come to an agreement, she stands on him and rubs her feet all over his face, making him suck her toes.
When Domina Victoria gets angry, she tortures her slave. He knows that he is to have certain things ready for her and when he doesn't she gets very angry. She lays her slave on the floor naked except for his mask. She steps on his cock and makes him get an erection. When he is hard enough, she is happy to stick a urethra vibrator into his cock. She stops just before he cums. That is her torture to him for denying her pleasure.
When Mysteria gets up in the morning, her slave has to protect her feet from the cold floor. Instead of allowing her to put her feet on the cold floor, she steps on his chest and stomach. She allowed him to warm her feet before she walked onto her rug. When she gets dressed, she sits and puts on her shoes. At the end of the day, her slave lays at her bedside so she can take her shoes off and not touch the cold floor.

This group implements a full, high quality Kindy program aimed at introducing the children to basic numeracy and literacy skills as well as creativity, social and physical development.
Emphasis is placed on developing confidence to try new skills, discover science, and learn about the wider community around us.
When I arrive Mum or Dad help me put my bag in my classroom and to put on some sunscreen. We then go outside and say hello to my friends and teachers. When we are outside we have lots to do. We have a fort for climbing and my teachers set up other activities. After we run around and have lots of fun with the little children we go inside our Kindy room.
When we are inside one of my teachers will talk to me and my friends about the day of the week and the weather. After we hear about the weather its time for morning tea, we go and wash our hands and get to choose what fruit we want to eat. After morning tea we get to play, we always have books to read, drawing, puzzles and home corner but our teachers also put out special activities for us and sometimes we even get to do cooking or make play-dough. After we have had lots of fun inside we get to have some time with one of our teachers while the other teacher prepares lunch and our beds for us. When our stories are finished we go and make our beds and wash our hands for lunch. We get lots of nice food for lunch that is cooked for us in the kitchen. After we finish lunch it's time to have a rest. We listen to soft music and have a sleep or rest for about 2 hours. When we wake up we have some quiet activity time to let us wake up in our own time.
When we are all awake we have some afternoon tea and get ready for some outside time. We now play outside with all the rooms again until we get picked up to go home.
