Being one of the most frequent and painful anal diseases, fissures are said to effect people all across the globe. While these are not so common in patients older than 65 years, yet the exact data is not available on its prevalence. Learn about this skin problem in detail.
Generally, people don't feel free to share about anal fissures with anyone. These are embarrassing and yes, people with this type of disease feel very uncomfortable. The reason is quite simple; it causes itchy feeling, burning sensation and severe pain in the rectum area. Just imagine you are seated together in a group with other people and all of sudden you start feeling pain or itch in anus. You just want to scratch your butt, but that's not possible.
So, it's an awful disease and you need to cure it. But before that it is essential to learn about the same in detail. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about anal fissures. Read on:
Defined as a small tear of the skin around the back passage, it is a small; usually less than a centimeter, but yes, it is very painful. The reason why it turns so painful is that anus is one of the most sensitive parts of your body. And this pain turns to be worse when you pass stools. In fact, after an hour of passing faeces, it can cause you sudden itch or pain. In many cases, anal fissures can bleed a little. But this happens generally after you pass faeces.
What are the different kinds of fissures?
While these are common among both, in adults and children, these are usually not a serious disease. However, being painful these can be distressing, particularly for children. These are classified as either acute or chronic.
What are the instant treatments?
As stated above that they are of two types, the acute anal fissures needs to be treated with conservative treatments resulting in a complete cure. But for chronic ones, you need aggressive treatments. Sometimes, a minor surgery is also required. Don't go behind any instant cures or miracle cures. They really don't exist, at least for anal fissures.
As far as conservative treatments are considered, it includes intake of lots of water, having an adequate fiber filled diet, and much more to ensure soft stools.
Why do they hurt so much?
The pain one experience can differ from person to person. It can be mild in some cases, but often it turns intense and overwhelming. You anal canal is one of the most sensitive areas, having a multitude of nerve endings. When a tear in the anal canal occurs, during the bowel evacuation it causes pain due to frequent opening and closing of the anal canal.
I want to share my experience with using Dr.numb. I tried nearly every other product when I got my tattoo work done and nothing, I mean absolutely nothing worked like Dr. Numbs cream. it honestly is the best on the market and I want to thank Dr.numb for having a solution to the pain. Thanks Dr. Numb!
I love this cream it works wonders. I was able to lay of the table while he worked on my tattoo for about 2 hours before I needed a break for a smoke. Great product!!
Wonderful for tattoos! Really helps with longer sessions. Applied thick and can't feel a thing. Would definitely recommend!
This is the 3rd time I have purchased this cream I like it a lot it does work just wrap the are for 30 minutes and done you won't feel a thing I have 3 big tattoos and I felt no pain using it
This stuff really does work and is well worth the $$. FYI, the longer you leave it on before a tattoo, the longer it lasts!!

Veronica Mars
I was less shocked by Meg's untimely death than by Wallace's random appearance on Veronica's doorstep on New Year's Eve. Meg's death has some more interesting implications in that her baby girl survived, she hinted that she wanted Veronica to make sure her baby didn't end up with religious zealots, and after watching last week's alternate ending, we should perhaps be suspicious that foul play is involved. Actually, the biggest surprise of the night was that dreamy Deputy Leo turned out to be the one who stole the Aaron-Lilly tapes to auction them off. Yes, I know he had a good reason, and it was even sweet that he wanted so badly to help his sister with her Down syndrome, but he really did a bang-up job in helping out the defense lawyers in the Aaron Echolls case. And I know that Logan's a baddie, I really do, but I couldn't help but feel for him when he watched the sex tape, with his dad and the love of his life having some feisty Paris Hilton-style relations. I'd have wanted to delete them, too: Good thing he's rich and can afford a degausser to eliminate the offensive images. Veronica meanwhile has to settle for a refurbished laptop as a Christmas gift. But while she and her dad don't have a boatload of cash, they both try so hard to make everything so special. She got all gussied up in the fancy duds and even cooked, and he knew just how to comfort her when handing her the jury-duty papers: with some two-day-old lasagna and extra helpings of ice cream. They even have a potential slogan for the Mars family crest, inspired by his investigation and her jury job: It's not always easy doing the right thing. It might not be, but you can count on the Marses to try. Oh, and just a random little note: Did anyone else catch The Todd from Scrubs as one of the eleven jurors? He was so toned down from his normal horn-dog appearance I almost had to do a double take. Angel Cohn

Sark's back! He strutted in with an American accent and an attitude to go along with it. I can't blame Rachel for being easily charmed by this wickedly wonderful bad boy I would be, too. Especially since Mr. Grace is being all business as usual. Loved Sark's dig at Sydney and Co. with his comments about how he tried to work a regular job, but he didn't like the steady gig and he preferred being freelance. Fun. I've missed the sweet-talker who managed to fill his vocab with sexual innuendo even while tied to a bomb. And who smugly inquired as to whether he and Rachel could be friends after she threatened him. Can't blame a guy for trying, even if she did take him down with her cuddling comment. We need more of this fun banter. Bring him back for more please pretty please! I was pretty impressed with today's missing gadget du jour, though the whole Prophet Five thing is not quite as compelling as the Rambaldi-related stuff. But that big Micro pulse bomb that could neatly cremate people without doing any damage to the surrounding area was pretty damn creepy. And can I just say again for the record how nice it is to have Alias back, and paired with Lost? I know it is just temporary and I'm trying not to get to comfortable with it, but it is a nice holiday treat. Oh, and did anyone else ever think they'd hear Jack Bristow utter the word "thong"?

According to Deadline, Glee/American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has sold a single camera comedy project to NBC in what's being called "the biggest comedy sale this season."
Murphy, and Glee's co-executive producer Allison Adler, will co-write the pilot about a blended family of a gay couple and the woman who becomes a surrogate to help them start a family. 20th Century Fox TV will be producing this show - the idea of which came from Murphy and Adler's real life experiences having a family or looking to have one.

Crunches Create a Diastasis or Make it Worse!
Every time I go to the gym I cringe when I see so many people doing crunches both with and without a personal trainer! Because what I know and they don't know is that crunches create a diastasis or make it worse and that a diastasis can cause back pain, postural issues, pelvic floor problems and gastrointestinal issues. A diastasis as you must already know by now if you are reading this article, is a separation of the outermost abdominal muscles.
So why do crunches create a diastasis? Because you are not only working the muscles in the wrong direction but you are putting force on the connective tissue that joins the outer most abdominal muscles (recti muscles). So, let me explain what I mean when I say that crunches work the muscles in the wrong direction. To strengthen a muscle, you want to make it shorter. To stretch a muscle, you want to make it longer. So, when you are doing a crunch you are making the abdominal muscles longer not shorter. So test this out yourself and you will see that when you do a crunch the muscles are getting longer not shorter. Lay in a back lying position with your knees bent. Put one hand under your head and one hand on your belly. Now close your eyes and in your mind's eye bring your belly button back to your spine (which is engaging your transverse muscle) and hold it there as you lift your head and shoulders off the floor. You will feel your muscles moving forward towards your hand. This forward movement is making the recti muscle longer and putting force on the connective tissue. This is because it is impossible to hold the transverse in completely when the shoulders come off the floor. That is why you should replace the crunch with the head lift. After 4 weeks of strengthening your transverse muscle in a seated position you will have transverse strength and awareness and will be able to hold your transverse in when you lift JUST your head. No shoulders please! You can test this out also with putting your hands on your belly. I say hands because with the head lift you will be needing to hold a splint so you will have to lift your head without any hands. Your hands will be on your belly so you will know if your transverse is in or out when you lift your head. When you lift your head make sure your chin goes down and touches your chest. If you lift your head leading with your chin you won't be able to hold your transverse in. The head lift is 5 steps and is explained in detail in the Lose Your Mummy and Say Good Bye to Your Gut Guys DVD. If you have neck problems, you can do the 5 steps without lifting your head. So please just say NO to crunches.

We feel the loss like a flood that moves in on September 21st. We remember the pain, the struggle, the fight. We mourn what could have been. Hans you were one beloved little boy and you are so missed. if only... Until we see you again.
Until then we are going to give this life everything we've got and honor you and fight for kids in your situation in every way that we can. I'm so proud of your sister and your dad and all our family and friends in the way they've supported us and all of our ideas from bake sales to runs, walks, triathlons, pajama drives and whatever else comes our way.
This past weekend Team Hans completed the Nautica Malibu Triathlon as a 20 person Team, part of a larger group of 9 families affected by pediatric cancers, Sophia's Buddies. This fundraising event raised1.3 million for Pediatric Cancer Research at CHLA, and our Sophia's Buddies raised 96,000 of those funds. I'm so proud of Team Hans for bringing in a total of $22,681. It costs $25,000 to put one child through one clinical trial. We've just about got one kiddo covered with our Team Hans Tri. So proud.
Team Hans Nautica Malibu Tri 2016, less Mark, Mike, Don, Tracy and Jenny (It is a challenge to get everyone in one spot at one time on race day, there are at least 3000 people on the beach and everyone's event starts at different times...) Thank you Team Hans!
About Me

- Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Social worker shortage threatens new Children and Families Agency, says IMPACT
25% of posts unfilled in one region
Thursday 9th May 2013
IMPACT trade union today (Thursday) called on Children's Minister Frances Fitzgerald to take urgent action to address a shortage of social workers, which the union says is undermining the State's statutory obligation to protect children and threatens to thwart the effectiveness of the new Children and Families Agency.
Speaking at IMPACT's Health and Welfare conference in Portlaoise, IMPACT official Christina Carney said there were currently 350 social worker vacancies across the country. In one region, a quarter of social work posts are unfilled. The shortfall is primarily a result of unfilled vacancies and maternity leave.
Ms Carney called on Minister Fitzgerald to accelerate recruitment to vacant posts and immediately establish an emergency relief panel with a view to filling maternity leave positions. "The situation is now becoming unsafe. I am calling on the minister to use her authority to find an urgent solution. Social workers, social care workers and other staff want to make the new agency work, but they cannot keep going in circumstances where 20-25% of approved social posts are unfilled," she said.
The conference passed motions calling for the filling of social work, social care and administrative posts before the new agency is formally established.
Ms Carney said: "IMPACT has taken a very positive and constructive approach to the establishment of the new Children and Family Agency. Our support is based on the clear expectation that services to children and families will get better with the establishment of the new agency, and that there will be unambiguous and transparent policies and procedures which would serve the child. But our support is conditional on the Agency being properly resourced."

Mumbai: The World Junior Chess Championship, the first stepping stone to future glory, is scheduled from October 5-20 in Pune.
A total of 250 players from 65 countries, including 30 which have confirmed their entries till date ahead of the September 5 deadline, would be seen in action in the under 20 tournament, it was announced at a media conference here Saturday.
The event is being hosted jointly by the Maharashtra Chess Association and its Pune affiliate at a five star hotel in Viman Nagar and 1987 winner and five-time world champion Vishwanathan Anand, who was present at the announcement, is the event`s brand ambassador.
Anand and a few others from the chess fraternity met Maharashtra CM Prithrivaj Chavan last evening and the latter has agreed to be the patron of the tournament and also assured the state government`s support to the event, said MCA vice president Anirudh Deshpande.
Anand, who spoke about how the world junior title that he won as his first major crown in his illustrious career nearly three dacades ago in the Philippines, said a strong field will be seen in action in the tournament.
"The world junior chess championship will see a very strong field of players and will be very competitive," said Anand who is preparing for the rematch with Magnus Carlsen for regaining the world crown that he had surrendered to the Norwegian ace last November in his home town – Chennai.
"We will all be rooting for Vineet Gujrathi (ranked third in the event) who has come after winning a big championship (category 16 tournament) in Armenia," Anand said.
There will be a open category for players with ELO rating of 2000 and above and a girls category for those with a rating of 1800, said Pune-based GM Abhijit Kunte, a key member of the organising panel.
"Players like Boris Spassky, Anatoly Karpov, Kasparov and myself had won the world juniors before going on to win the world championship (seniors) title," said the Spain-based, 44-year-old Indian chess wizard.
The other Indian winners of the world junior title in the past are P Harikrishna, Abhijeet Gupta, Koneru Humpy, Dronavalli Harika and Soumya Swaminathan.
The winner of the title in the 13-round Swiss League event would be richer by Rs 6 lakh.
The highest-rated player in the open category - which will see 51 participants including 13 GMs - is Wei Yi of China and Robin Van Kampen of The Netherlands - both with an identical rating of 2638 - while the lowest is New Zelander Raivath Mallela and the average ELO rating is 2300. There would be ten Indians in the fray.
Among the 37-srong girls' field is one woman GM. Alexandra Goryachkina of Russia (rating 2430) heads the field which has three Indian participants.

FTC Turns up the Heat on Debt Buyers
By Consumers Union on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012
It's been a bad week for the debt collection industry. The widespread practice of using "robo-signed" affidavits in debt collection lawsuits is getting increased scrutiny in the courts, according to the American Banker.
But that's not the half of it – now the federal government is intensifying its focus on the most infamous players in the industry – the debt buyers.
These are the folks who buy portfolios of consumer debts from original creditors for pennies on the dollar and then try to collect on them, often by filing cookie-cutter lawsuits in bulk. It's been a booming business in recent years for the debt buyers, but an increasing burden on consumers and the courts.
Enter the Federal Trade Commission, which just announced that it has reached a $2.5 million settlement with Asset Acceptance, one of the biggest debt buyer firms in the country. The FTC alleges that Asset Acceptance has been suing consumers on debts that are too old to be pursued in court – often called "time-barred" debts – and that the firm has engaged in debt collection efforts even though the information they have about the debts is often unreliable, outdated or just plain wrong. These practices, according to the FTC, are "deceptive" and therefore illegal.
This FTC action may be just the tip of the iceberg. Since the FTC doesn't tell states how to run their courts, it has asked states to pass their own laws tightening up the requirements for filing debt collection lawsuits. In fact, the California Senate passed a bill just yesterday that aims to rein in the same practices that the FTC has targeted in the settlement.
For more information on consumer rights and "time-barred" debts, check out the FTC's informational website.

As part of the overarching MMI strategy formulation, MMI has decided to turn the threat of innovative business models and technology into a powerful opportunity for growth in the long term.
A disruptive innovation capability, called Exponential Ventures, has been set up to respond to and take advantage of opportunities created by technological disruption in the financial services, insurance and health markets. The business case of the unit was officially approved at the MMI Board Strategy session in November 2015. Exponential Ventures has access to capital and resources to invest in potentially disruptive innovation opportunities around the theme of financial wellness. The team based in the UK and South Africa and the overall mandate is 70% global investments and 30% South African and Africa investments.
1. Scaler opportunities: Technology-based businesses, which when combined with MMI's assets (e.g. brand, distribution, insurance skills), show meaningful potential to rapidly generate exponential growth in revenue and profit;
2. Optimiser opportunities: Technology-based businesses that have the potential to deliver significant savings in expenses for MMI's existing business; and
3. Venture developer opportunities: Investing in and developing disruptive ventures that reach new markets, meet new needs, leverage new business models and show the potential to fundamentally disrupt the financial services, insurance and healthcare markets.

Sugar Mountain Race, January 6-7, 2018
GSOC Racer Blog
By David Lippucci—Race Director
Mother Nature had a hard, cold weekend game plan at Sugar January 6-7, 2018. Saturday greeted races with -8 F air and -15 wind chill…luckily it was a sunny day that made it only feel like zero degrees. The GSOC race team remains in first place after our second race of the 2017-2018 season. We only had one no show with challenging conditions that helped our team gain a strong showing with 41 athletes.
Saturday's 9:00 start for slalom was brutally cold. Division 2 on Oma's Meadow had to deal with more wind than Division 1 which ran on Sugar Slalom with a technical course set. Shaved grippy ice ruts formed after 50 racers rather than 5 racers which was nice.
Sundays Division 1 GS set was at the same start area as the slalom. Another blue bird day with 200 mile visibility and 18 degree temps and no wind offered perfect conditions for racing.
Both divisions had fun sets even though the Division one course's finish area was so short, many racers fell into the netting.
Congratulations to the following GSOC racers who finished first, second or third at the Sugar race January 6-7, 2018:
Jake Laroe—First, flight 1 Slalom and GS
Will Spradling—First, flight 2 Slalom
David Lippucci—Third, flight 2 slalom
Dan Shurkus—Third, flight 3 slalom
Garry Whitaker—First, flight 6 GS
Dan Walsh—Third, flight 7 slalom
Landon Clary—Second, flight 7 Slalom
Doug Laroe—First, flight 7 Slalom
Ayden Johnson—First, 10 Slalom
Roger Brown—First, flight 9 GS
Mark Blakely—First, flight 8 Slalom

Preparing for Your Endoscopy
Patient Questionnaire:
- The information here is provided to help you get ready for your procedure, but we also need to get ready for you. By providing us with information about your health before your visit, we can make sure we are prepared to provide you with the appropriate care in the most efficient manner when you arrive. For this reason, we ask that you first take a few minutes to complete the following health questionnaire and fax it to 212-659-8328 two days before your visit.
- Once you have completed the questionnaire, please review the information here to learn more about how to prepare and what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
Eating and Drinking Prior to Your Procedure:
- For your doctor to obtain the best results from your endoscopy, your stomach should be completely empty. Therefore, you should refrain from eating and drinking approximately 8 hours before the examination.
- Depending on the time of day that your test is scheduled, our staff will tell you when to stop eating and drinking.
The Colonoscopy "Prep":
- For colonoscopy, you will need to take a prep (preparation) to clean out the colon. A member of our team will contact you with specific instructions about your preparation once your procedure is scheduled.
- Medications may need to be adjusted or temporarily avoided. Be sure to inform your doctor beforehand of all your current medications. If you're taking aspirin, Plavix, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, etc.), blood thinners (Coumadin, Heparin), insulin, or other prescribed or over-the-counter medications, these should be brought to your doctor's attention as soon as possible.
Your Medical History:
- If you require antibiotics prior to undergoing dental procedures, or have allergies to medications -- tell your doctor.
- If you have any major diseases, such as heart or lung disease, that may require special attention during the procedure, discuss this with your doctor or with the intake interviewer.
Clothing and Valuables:
- Wear comfortable clothing that is easily removed. You will change into a patient gown before the examination. Avoid girdles, pantyhose, and tight-fitting garments.
- While we can assure your comfort and safety while you are our patient, we ask that you leave your valuables at home or in possession of the person who has accompanied you to Mount Sinai. However, whatever valuables you do take with you will be placed inside a sealed bag and kept with you throughout the procedure.

Perhaps it's not that ironic that central control of the means of production is not solely a Marxist platform?Per wrote:This one:Strangelove wrote:^
Now what part did you disagree with:it's not ironic. It just it was it is.Somewhat ironic that fascism is largely branded a right-wing thing today.
I won't bother looking around for the best available sources, I'll just link to wikipedia.
Here are some of the parts that could be of interest:Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce[3] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I before it spread to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[5][6][7][4][8][9]Since the end of World War II in 1945, few parties have openly described themselves as fascist and the term is instead now usually used pejoratively by political opponents. The descriptions neo-fascist or post-fascist are sometimes applied more formally to describe parties of the far-right with ideologies similar to, or rooted in, 20th century fascist movements.[4][18]One common definition of the term focuses on three concepts: the fascist negations (anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-conservatism); nationalist authoritarian goals of creating a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture; and a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence and promotion of masculinity, youth and charismatic leadership.[31][32][33] According to many scholars, fascism—especially once in power—has historically attacked communism, conservatism and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the far-right.[34]
All kinds of economic models seek to control production one way or another...

So I'm back from my long needed break, and can say I had an absolutely fab time away to the beautiful coasts of Cornwall. Boy, did I pick the right week to go away? – hot, hot, hot! And I've got some anything-but-attractive tan lines to prove it.
I relaxed on the beach in St Ives, shopped in the streets of Penzance, and went on beautiful boat trips in Falmouth. I visited the world famous open-air theatre, The Minack, was invited to a dinner party by an old fisherman full of character, and climbed the hundreds of stairs at Tintagel Castle.
Here are a few pictures of the beautiful views I had the privilege of experiencing:
However, it has to be said, there is nothing better than your own bed (:

In no particular order:
Catwoman and Bane: This just screams out cool. He has the Bane look down (not to mention the physique) and put any fit woman into a (pl)eather Catwoman costume & you got yourself a winning combination. The Dark Knight might be dated for Halloween 2013 but there are plenty of superheroes and villains that are timeless. Didn't Superman have a movie this year??
Not to stray away from our couples costume ideas (don't worry single people we got you next), this dead Prom Queen and King theme is pretty awesome. Looks like something you might have seen in the MADD Don't Drink and Drive after Prom videos, which may still haunt some of your dreams. The best thing about this costume is if you haven't changed much since high school, you could dust off your prom gear and add some fake blood to it! If you can pull this off, your new DEAD PROM photos will be so much more fun than the real life thing. Bonus points if they end up making your future wedding montage.
The predicament: you are a single guy without much time to figure out a costume in between fantasy football and work. Enter in mildy offensive stereotypical Mexican getup. Here are the steps: get yourself a sombraro, ask mom for a coloful bed sheet or table cloth, grow, paint or paste on a mustache and you are now offically ready to take tequila shots and party! Andale! Bonus points if you are actually of Mexican descent!
Does this really require any caption?
This happens to be more of a request. If you have or can obtain a Gumby or gorilla suit please oh please come to our Halloween parties!
We included some more costume ideas in the gallery below. Be sure to showoff your costumes at 360nightlife's Halloween events! We will be hosting our 9th Annual Monsters Ball at Federal Lounge on Saturday, October 26th 2013 and Halloween Havoc at 4935 Bar & Kitchen Bethesda on Thursday, October 31st! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Spousal Refusal: Preserving Family Savings by "Just Saying No" to Long-Term Care Impoverishment
This is a case study of an elderly couple who executed a pre-nuptial agreement to keep their assets separated. When the husband required long-term care, the state required the assets of both to be considered in determining Medicaid eligibility. This article explores the effect and applicability of the Just Say No rule and the difficulty of preserving the assets of the non-institutionalized spouse.

News story
HMS Northumberland in Bahrain
The Royal Naval warship HMS Northumberland is visiting Bahrain halfway through an eight-month deployment in the Middle East.
The Plymouth-based frigate made the port visit to the home of the United Kingdom Maritime Component Commander, Commodore Simon Ancona, who came on board to meet the ship's company. He is also deputy commander of the 27-nation Combined Maritime Forces in the region.
Commodore Ancona said of the visit:
HMS Northumberland has come alongside fresh from providing valuable and direct support to the Combined Maritime Forces. She is operating in a challenging environment and it's obvious the ship's company have risen to the challenge.
HMS Northumberland is currently providing direct support to Combined Task Force 152 (CTF 152), 1 of the 3 task forces making up the Combined Maritime Forces organisation. CTF 152 conducts maritime security patrols to help ensure the stability and security of the Gulf waterways.
Commodore Ancona also met with a special guest on board HMS Northumberland - Brigadier General Ahmed Khalifa Salman Al Khalifa, Commander Royal Bahrain Naval Force. The Bahrain Navy is an important regional partner to the Royal Navy and a major supporter of the work undertaken by the international naval forces.
HMS Northumberland and her ship's company are now back at sea conducting operations after she recently demonstrated her capabilities and systems to regional and global partners at the Naval Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Halle Berry's Fake Plastic Surgery
November 24, 2010 in Black Plastic Surgery,Celebrity Plastic Surgery,Ethnic Plastic Surgery by Lisa Stanfield | Leave a Comment
Photos of Halle Berry on the set of her upcoming film Truth or Dare seem to reveal plastic surgery prosthetics.
44-year old Halle Berry was on the set of the upcoming comedy by Peter Farelly of the Farelly brothers, wearing facial prosthetics that made her lips and cheeks look preternaturally full. She also seemed to be wearing something on her breasts to supersize them as well.
According to movieweb.com, in "Truth or Dare," Berry plays a career woman who must take the fall for a huge corporation.
Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says, "Halle Berry is obviously using some type of prosthetic in her lower face, lips and cheeks areas giving her that enlarged look throughout her face. Halle Berry is known her beautifully smooth and delicate facial features."
Although Halle's exaggerated features are ridiculous, Halle is rumored to have undergone a nose job and breast augmentation (Read Make Me Heal's on Halle Berry's plastic surgery ).
Makemeheal.com looks forward to seeing the surely zany film and Halle's return to comedy.

Last week at New York Comic Con, United Front Games talked about the upcoming downloadable content for their open-world crime game, Sleeping Dogs. The download, set to be released on October 30th, is a horror-themed story mission.
Today, they debuted the trailer above which gives us a peek into what we'll get to enjoy when the game hits in a couple weeks. The video shows off the Jiang Shi hopping vampires, Wei Shen's blazing fists, and the peach sword he'll be wielding to take on the undead horde. It looks like the mission takes itself only semi-seriously with the thug's modulated voice and cartoonish cat mask making him feel like something out of an '80s ghost movie.
I, for one, can't wait to play Hong Kong Ghost Busters.

#693-696 Colorado March 27-30
700 is beckoning me and I needed to do some serious bird research in Colorado for activities next year. I had 4 missing Colorado species all in the Quail and Grouse family. I had a plan to work out a monster three day loop. It was ambitious, some would say crazy but I wanted to see if it could be done.
I landed at Denver at 8 in the morning and Barry picked me up. He is a birder from the Northeast South Dakota Birders club who accepted my invitation for anyone who wanted to come with to Colorado. he drove my car down from South Dakota while I flew which is a bit of a story I'll leave unsaid and we headed towards west side of Denver to a parking lot for a reported Dusky Grouse.
Mount Lookout Nature Preserve
I'm used to being the Skua birder letting others do the heavy work and pick off birds, they found but on this one I needed to be the guide. There were birders on patrol around the visitor center but no grouse and so we scoured and then when others looked but didn't see, I pointed the bird out to everyone, sitting in a tree. Now I was the penguin and everyone else was the skua. This bird was a female but not being sexist it was still a life bird, it wasn't 10 am yet and I had bird one of the four in the bag
#693 Dusky Grouse
we scouted around for other birds around Mt Lookout Nature area and found some good year birds and in general pretty birds
Pygmy Nuthatch
Mountain Bluebird
Western Bluebird
In general it was a nice spot for normal common birds and the grouse. The male had been chasing people in the parking lot and was notably absent but we found the female and luckily we had been in Denver for a little over an hour and had bird one of the target birds.
Hwy 285 South to Gunnison
We headed south to Numerous passes and switchbacks, finding a Barrow's Goldeneye along the way at a place that I got to claim as an Ebird hotspot, "Fishing Bridge had 9 Barrow's at it. but my best photo was of my trusty Volvo making it over the divide for the first time.
My birding machine, Volvo XC60 the best birding car I've ever owned
One step up may be this machine but I think the ride might be rough
I like old snow removal equipment, they dont make stuff like this anymore.
We stopped by to search feeders in Fairplay Colorado, and generated the suspicious guys casing the town with binocular's treatment. The cops came and the owner of the feeder we were casing rushed to check us out for nefarious activity which if counting Cassin's Finches and tallying red crossbills is a crime…well we were guilty, and I even saw a couple of Rosy-finches but they had largely left.
Red Crossbill
This and the Cassin's Finches were lifers for Barry and so we were knocking off birds for him, too. We left town before more welcoming treatment and free lodging in the courthouse and headed to Gunnison.
At one pass, Barry didn't know which way to go.
We scouted out the Classic lek for Gunnison's Sage Grouse, a very threatened bird only found in certain parts of Colorado and Utah and tallied up some birds. Barry spotted a life list Sagebrush Sparrow and we went to eat. We returned at 0515 in the morning to get the prime spot for this incredible display at dawn, only one thing went wrong. They didn't show up. Well first, let me say I didn't read a message fully that Doug Kibbe sent me more on him later. The lek apparently moved but alas no one posted it. Bored and disgusted, I scanned the ridge top under 60x and then, clear as day, I saw them three in all maybe 1100 yards away, It was a haul, but I had them and here is a very grainy photo of a male but it is a life bird!
#694 Gunnison's Sage Grouse
I'm sure the lady from Wyoming also there having arrived in the middle of the night without proper scoping equipment left empty handed. We saw four fly over back of my car siting there and she didn't even see them…oh well. I wasn't guiding for her.
The Alpine Inn in Gunnison is my pick as best birding lodge in Colorado, cheap clean and comfortable.
We drove around and found things, mule deer and some birds
Sage Thrasher
Black Canyon of The Gunnison
We scouted this forelorned National Park for signs of Sooty Grouse and found none despite my expert guiding like here pointing out something rare…well maybe not.
The canyon is really a stunning landmark, I may add and the place is overrun with spotted towhee, so many, I neglected photos
Our trip to find Dusky grouse let me to find a naked European woman in the campground, it was a laughing diversion and caused me to think, I could have nude birded here, and it was a nice and sunny day too. The things I run into. Barry didn't notice, he was looking for towhees.
If Barry has one draw back is that he always gives me exact distances, like we are now 1.3 miles from a turn. Then he apologizes. Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a place to Barry's dreams, the trails have exact distances and I mean exact.
all the signs are measures to the exact yard.
While on one of these trails I think one that advertised High Point 787 yards we stirred up some Clark's Nutcrackers, this one didn't like me much.
We drove down into Montrose and found a Family Friendly Brewery and I remain confused about the term despite someone giving me a link on Facebook
Colorado National Monument
In my first stop to scour up a Chukar, we went to Colorado National Monument going in the wrong entrance and getting behind a funeral procession. Then we had to find out what habitat they preferred. I also almost killed us both stopping short for a canyon wren on a much too busy a rim road.
We went to the visitor center to regroup. It has quite a view
We also spotted a Pinyon Jay
No Chukar and so we descended and went to a hidden canyon east of Grand Junction, we still had a couple of hours,
Cameo Wild Horse Preserve
In this barren god forbidden landscape, we saw two horses that looked to have nothing to eat but rocks and brush…this poor stallion only had one mare in his harem.
Then I got that feeling, Barry thinks I can either subtly hear the birds and don't realize it, or I have acute hunting eyes and can sense movement, IDK I am lucky though, and like normal stopped and looked up right at four Chukar…Yea! Barry and I fist bumped, life birds all around! This is a great Chukar spot, close to I-70 and they are all over in here, I'm certain this is a lock spot for this species.
#695 Chukar
We decided to drive hard into the night to Silverthorne to preposition for the assault on the last quarry of ours, but I got a warning on my dashboard of my trusted birding maching, low oil, in the middle of nowhere in the dark along the Glenwood Canyon. we limped into a gas station and it was just a quart low, and I added a quart and "whew!" I said. Then we drove on two hours up and over a snowing pass to Silverthorne.
Wildernast Residential Area
We drove the neighborhood that looked like the home of the rich dude Steve Martin character in "The Big Year" We found the hoard of Rosy-finches, well it is technically a "Bouquet" of Rosy-finches, all three varieties in about three trees in one very busy feeder. This is Rosy-finch central and this location will be revisited by me
Two lifers for Barry and the sun wasn't even above the mountains. Initially we were going to snowshoe Guanella Pass for ptarmigan with a very nice local birder named Doug Kibbe, but we had 2 hours and so Loveland Pass was on the way and so we decided to scout that out first on the way to Georgetown
Loveland Pass
Gosh I hate heights, I get jelly kneed and up here like my previous Mt Evans experience in my book I just hated it. This and it was cold and icy going up to 12,000 feet and all the oil trucks by-passing the Eisenhower tunnel were making my life scarier. At the pass like everywhere in Colorado were hoards of hikers all going east to climb a scary looking ridge. instinctively Barry and I went the other way climbing a more modest knoll and then I heard a cluck. What happened next is something like finding God or an angel but suffice it to say we got the best looks of a white-tailed ptarmigan possible. Maybe if it had landed on Barry's head and I took a picture I could have topped the moment
#696 White-tailed Ptarmigan
We even got track photos, wow! I got this bird even photoed on my Iphone, it was that close and that tolerant.
Well we went down and before I could call off Doug they had arrived in Georgetown early. It was pretty extreme up at 12,000 feet and having got the bird we didnt want to do it again. I hope they understood. I gave him and a birding friend Eide, a copy of my Boobies Peckers and Tits book as a thank you. I hope I didnt burn a very good local resource but we really were still in ecstasy of bagging the ptarmigan
it took 48 hours to complete all four targets and hard targets and nearly 800 miles so with nothing left, We went into overtime birding for bonus birds
Stauton State Park
After finding but not photographing an American Three Toed Woodpecker, at a open spaces park which I dont know what it was named, we went searching for a second life-lister for Barry, the Williamson Sapsucker at this newish state park
Now it seems things happen to me but this trip was pretty tame more or less but then I had an encounter with this squirrel. I got accused in Squirrelese about stealing pine cones and he let out the loudest and longest alarm call I had ever heard, it lasted for minutes going on an hour. He charged me once. But apparently this squirrels attachment to his possessions was well known…
He really loved that pine cone, so much so apparently the whole forest came to his aide and then all the squirrels barked at me and then all the woodpeckers came in to see what was going on and you guessed it, the sapsuckers came too, so we were not disappointed, we found the prime spot, they were plentiful and it was all thanks to this squirrel, that damn squirrel. Lucky a cougar didn't come and get me for trying to take his precious cone.
Thor, my BC birding friend was out getting all the potential splits for White breasted nuthatches as they do not look alike, this is the "slender billed" version, or is it? It looks like one, but aren't those just in the Pacific NW? I am not so excited about this quest to see the three as I have already seen them all and I am not sure this split needs to happen, but I took this photo for Thor
White-breasted Nuthatch
Barry completed his draft for fantasy baseball while I worked on photos and then we went to listen for owls into the evening hearing a few Northern Pygmy Calls and a rather unique Dusky grouse call….eerie is the word
We were smoking hot birders and so hot, the fire alarm went off at the holiday inn in Denver and we had to go outside to cool off and the fire trucks came
I still had a day to go, but I had nothing left to see, even the bonus birds were done and counted. I have no Colorado birds on my life list, none. With both police and the fire department apparently looking for me, I did something I have never done before, I moved up my flight and jumped a plane home early. After a very idiosyncratically bombastic flight steward who was overly and generously verbose, I got back to Minneapolis to catch flight to Aberdeen. Then I ran into Senator Thune in Delta Sky Club. I always like Senators, they always look so dapper, and since he is a couple inches taller than I am he is above the lot of us. I did vote for him, so I guess that is good and I have met him before.
It was a monumental trip and Barry added 19 lifers, I added 4, now I have just 26 breeders in North America to complete my list, and only 4 below an ABA milestone of 700 and all this in like 60 hours. I might have killed Barry but not his enthusiasm but then again when one runs with Olaf, one has to run fast. It was a pretty tame trip in terms of strange adventures and odd things happening to us, we were birding too fast and too hard to really notice. The two Lesbian Oregonian Wiccans at the overlook in Colorado National Monument would have been an interesting diversion but we had barely time to eat and we still had Chukars to find!
Thanks again to Doug Kibbe, I am entirely grateful, I have to come back in 2016 and the ptarmigan may not be so willing at Loveland Pass
Now a member of the two mile high club for ptarmigan finding

I may not be writing as often but that doesn't mean I'm not watching television. In fact, sometimes watching some of my favorite shows is one of my most enjoyable activities. Look forward to FX's The Americans and still watching Red Widow and my other faves like The Good Wife. But right now some of the newer shows have grabbed my attention.
I love BBC's Orphan Black. The pilot was one of the best I've watched and I couldn't wait to see the next episode. Even with the sci fi element, the story is so gripping, watching Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) take over someone else's identity. I kind of wish there weren't so many other clones as she's enough to keep me watching.
I was also riveted to Top of the Lake on the Sundance Channel. As bleak as it was I forgot time as it was so gripping…maybe it was the landscape or the twists and turns that weren't all predictable, and even though I knew who Tui's child's father was it all along that really wasn't what I was focused on…I love Jane Campion and she knows how to tell a story but Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men) showed just how great she is and that she could anchor a drama. Her relationship with Johnno (Thomas M. Wright) was so sensual and raw and real but al along it seemed doomed somehow. Even before the secret was revealed. There was little sentimentality here and I really liked that as that's what Americans can over do sometimes. To all showrunners and creators out there…more…more….more.
Watching Mad Men, one of my favorite shows, but the first three episodes are much less interesting to me than in previous seasons. Not big on the flashbacks of Don when he was younger…he's a jerk really so don't try to tell us now why he's like that. Interesting moments of course…but not as compelling.
I'm really looking forward to Sunday night's documentary All the President's Men Revisited, a new documentary made by Robert Redford about the Watergate scandal and featuring material from the book and the film of the same name, which he starred in with Dustin Hoffman. I loved the film directed by the late Alan J. Pakula and the inside look at a newsroom. As a young woman, I became enthralled with Ben Bradlee of The Washington Post and the late Katherine Graham, a former publisher of the once most prestigious newspaper.

I was lent this book by my friend Dana, a UP engineer. It is the only r.r. fiction that is 100% authentic, making me feel I was railroading again, with the characters reminding me of old friends and co-workers. It all takes place on December 24, 1940, on the Southern Ry's subdivision between New Orleans and Meridian, Mississippi. As much as loved it ,it also reminded me of the brutality and nightmarish scenarios of mainline railroading. Howard Bahr, the author, worked in train service on several mainline road in the Mississippi Valley.
Yes! the book available on Amazon as a hardcover ($18.75) Paperback ($12.95) and on Kindle.

[wvns] Putin Ditches Dollar, Backs Euro
Putin - Euro should be World's Reserve Currency
Putin: Russia will Join the Euro One Day
By Louise Armitstead
Russia and Germany should dramatically increase their economic co-operation. That's the message from Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to some of Germany's top industrialists at a business forum in Berlin.
"The Telegraph" - -Vladimir Putin said it is "quite possible" that Russia will one day join the eurozone and create a currency that would eclipse the US dollar as the global reserve standard.
Speaking at a conference in Germany the Russian prime minister, who is in the country for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel, said he was convinced the euro would stabilise and strengthen despite the current sovereign debt crisis.
He said: "Yes, there are problems. But the economic policy of the European Central Bank and of the governments of leading European economies ... convinces me that the stability of the euro will be ensured."
He added: "We know there are problems in Portugal, Greece, Ireland and the euro is wobbling a bit. On the whole it is a solid, good currency and it should take its place, its role as a reserve currency."
Asked about Russia's role in the eurozone in the future, Mr Putin said: "Can it be supposed that one day Russia will be in some joint currency zone with Europe? Yes, quite possible."
Speaking at the same event, Josef Ackermann, chief executive of Deutsche Bank, echoed Mr Putin and said he could imagine Russia joining a common European currency.
Mr Putin said that for the past decade there has been a reliance on the dollar that needs to be rebalanced as it makes the world economy vulnerable. "We should move away from the excessive monopoly of the dollar as the only global reserve currency," he said.
But the Russian prime minister was critical of European laws intended to improve transparency in energy supply and distribution. He claimed the "Third Energy Package", aimed at liberalising the market, will hinder investment and amounts to uncivilised "robbery". Moscow claims that the measures devalue the European assets of Gazprom, the state-controlled gas giant.
Mr Putin said: "We often hear from our partners in Europe and North America: 'If you want to be members of a global family of civilised nations, you should behave in a civilised way.' What is this then? Have our colleagues forgotten the basic principles?"

Gouache on paper, quite large in comparison to most work by the artist offered at auctions (24" by 19"), and 2 1/4" wide quality vintage frame, signed boldly at lower left by well listed Italian artist GIOVANNI BATTISTA (1858-1925). This is a panoramic coastal scene, a common subject of the artist, who painted mostly scenes of Naples, Venice, the Amalfi coast, and Vesuvius. The painting is in excellent, unusually fresh condition with very minimal foxing. Works by Battista are offered regularly in London catalogued auctions, where they bring fine prices. I have owned other works by the artist, and sold some in those London auctions, but this is the largest example I've been able to offer.

UK Data Service series record for:
The Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS), (formerly the Workplace Industrial Relations Survey, or WIRS), began in 1980. The series is sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), government departments and other organisations and the purpose of each survey has been to provide large-scale, statistically reliable evidence about a broad range of employment practices across almost every sector of the economy. To that end WERS collects information from managers with responsibility for employment relations or personnel matters, employee representatives and employees themselves.

The aim of each survey in the Workplace Employment Relations Study (WERS) series has been to provide large-scale, statistically reliable evidence about a broad range of employment relations and practices across almost every sector of the economy in Great Britain. The data were collected to serve three purposes: to map British employment relations over time, to inform policy and practice and stimulate debate, and to provide a comprehensive and statistically robust dataset on British workplace employment relations for public use
Which years of the WERS are available?
The 2011 WERS is the sixth in a series of national surveys of employment relations at the workplace level. Earlier surveys were conducted in 1980, 1984, 1990, 1998 and 2004 (the series was originally known as the Workplace Industrial Relations Survey, or WIRS).

The Road to the Craft Fair #3
Ok so since i've only had a little bit of info between the last two posts I want this one to be a bit more informational. What i'm currently working on right now is getting together my basics. Things like packaging, branding, financial needs, inventory etc. When I first started looking into all of this I had never realized the huge amount of things required to do a craft fair. It's amazing, I mean seriously, you actually create a small temporary store daily, and it takes alot to make things happen. Now i'm not trying to make you feel overwhelmed, I just want folks to realize that this is not as easy as it seems, well at least for me. Purely not having much inventory right now is making me freak out, and until today I was sweating being able to get supplies. Not because I couldn't afford them, but because they just weren't available. I was fortunate enough after trips to 7 different stores I scored! I managed to get my hands on 32 spankin new beautiful white towels :) Translated into 64 cut towels! So yeah safe to say i'm feeling less stressed.
Now, when I say packaging and branding i'm talking about what you put your items in and how you are marking your packaging or items with your brand. I had a pretty unimpressive packaging for awhile, I simply wrapped the items in tissue paper, put them inside a large zip loc bag with a card and a thank you and called it good, that's really lame. So, in an effort to make things cute, nice, and simple without alot of cost I try my best to do things myself. It wasn't until a few months ago that I even started putting labels on my products. I made those myself by buying colorfast printable fabric sheets and printing/cutting them myself, easy enough? Sure, anyone can do it if they can follow simple directions. I will probably post a tutorial on that if anyone is curious, comment to let me know. I also recently changed my packaging that I send to customers, I found that cello treat bags are perfect! I can fit 2 towels to a bag and then tie it up with some cute raffia ribbon. I started marking the outside of the bag with some labels that I bought from VistaPrint, I got them customized with my t-shirt logo and instead of having them as a return address label I put my shop name, slogan, shop url and email address. I believe I got the 140 for FREE deal where you only pay the shipping. So yeah there are ways you can brand your items for a reasonable price. and then I also use a thank you card with my info on it that I just simply printed out on my ink jet printer on cardstock, I generally hand write something on the back also. So there's a few DIY and non DIY ways to do some branding and packaging. There are also Etsy sellers that customize loads of different stuff from labels to banners for your shop to buttons, tags etc. it's out there if you look.
When I refer to financial needs of course you've got to have money for materials, because without them we have no product. But i'm more so referring to what you're willing to take as monetary compensation for your items at a craft fair. I know everyone takes cash, that's a given. But in today's age of technology alot of life is paid for with plastic, i'm talkin' credit and debit cards. It's up to you whether or not you choose to take checks, I personally won't be taking checks unless I know the person. Taking credit/debit cards these days has gotten to be pretty easy, you don't even have to have the machine hooked to a phone line. As mobile vendors we have to be prepared to face doing fairs in areas that don't have wi-fi or internet access. I say the easiest way is getting a good old fashioned knuckle buster with slips, and a propay account. I posted the links to both of those resources in the #1 post of this series. Now when it comes to storing those hard earnings you have the choice between a locked cash box or a vendor's apron. I personally chose a vendor's apron that way I don't always have to keep one eye on the cash box and can still give my customers my full attention. I bought a great vendor's apron from Mrs.Chainsaw on Etsy this happens to be the one I bought but she has alot of really great aprons in some awesome bold fabrics!
So there's a bit more information for you to chew on, in my next posting of the series I want to get a bit more into detail as to the list of things you may need while at the show/fair. Like a tool box, calculator, just misc. things you may not instantly think of. :)
