About ear infections and CranioSacral work (never occurred to me, but I guess it makes sense, since drainage depends partly on those intricate little bones moving correctly):

other ear problems."

GAME TIME: 49ers at Falcons
When: 3 p.m. today
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta
TV: Fox; pregame show starts at 2 p.m.
It's been eight years since the Atlanta Falcons played for an NFC championship, 14 years since their lone conference title and Super Bowl berth, with years of ups and downs in-between.
Yet fans geared up for today's NFC title game at the Georgia Dome say this year's team has what it takes to go the distance.
What makes today's championship game against San Francisco different? According to Falcons fans at Crossroads Bar & Grill in Flowery Branch, this is a different team than the one that lost at Philadelphia in 2005, with better coaching and the Georgia Dome on its side.
"I've lived in Atlanta my whole life. I'm going to the game, sixth row," said 24-year-old Jordan Otting, bartender at Crossroads. "They're in our stadium and it will be big if we can get the fans that straddle the fence to jump on the Falcons' side. That dome's going to be rockin'."
The Falcons are 8-1 at home this year but underdogs against the 49ers, who lost last year's NFC title game to the New York Giants.
Atlanta rallied to beat Seattle 30-28 last week and sits one victory from a berth in the Super Bowl.
Falcons fan Jamie Cuthbert said she's, "very, very nervous" about today's game. And after last week's gut-checking win over the Seahawks, Cuthbert doesn't want to see her daughter's favorite player eliminated from the playoffs.
"(It's) Tony Gonzalez's last season and in the playoffs; my daughter's his No. 1 fan," she said of the Falcons' veteran tight end who plans to retire at season's end.
Cuthbert also said last week's game made her bite her fingernails and left her angry, but Matt Bryant's game-winning field goal "brought it."
If the Falcons win today, Cuthbert said she would be, "so happy and ecstatic" about reaching the Super Bowl.
Flowery Branch Mayor Mike Miller said the team's playoff run is having a positive impact on the community.
"It's been positive for the community. Even non-football fans are a part of it," he said. "I've been at (stores), and people are making comments about the game. (The Falcons) are a part of the community, and we support the Falcons."
Husband and wife Uel and Merla Sawyer have been fans of the team since the early 1980s, but lost interest after former quarterback Steve Bartkowski left. However, their interest peaked again when Mike Smith became head coach in 2008.
"He's a people person," Uel Sawyer said of Smith.
Merla Sawyer echoed her husband's statement. "Mike Smith's doing a great job."
But after last week's game, she said she's not sure if she can watch another thriller.
"I'm afraid if they win I may have a heart attack," she said. "I think the Falcons are the best."
Otting also expressed support of the Falcons' coach.
"Smith's pulled the city together. We love Mike Smith," said Otting, who predicted a 31-28 Falcons victory today.
However, not everyone in the area will be pulling for the home team today. Stephanie Fuqua, 50, originally from California, said she remains a 49ers fan since moving to Georgia in 1984, and will be cheering them on against the Falcons.
"I'm looking forward to the game, a lot. I'm surrounded by a lot of Falcons fans, including my family. My husband's a Falcons fan," she said. "At work, everyone else is a Falcons fan. I'm like 'Hey, 49ers.' I think the 49ers are going to win. I'm confident. I think it won't be close. I hope I'm right."

CHINA AND EAC SEAL DEAL TO IMPROVE ON AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN THE REGIONea_admin
On 27th November, 2016, Arusha city was host to the EAC – China Electronic technology Corporation (CETC) High Forum. The EAC has established an Upper Flight Information Region (UFIR) as a single bloc over the Partner States airspace that will be operated from a single operations centre. This will make the region safer for investment and multinational markets.
China has benefited the international community in development projects and has been contributing to various countries of the developing world in the development of infrastructure. During the BRIC Summit that was held in South Africa, China announced a development plan for Africa that is worth billions of dollars. One of the areas earmarked for development is aviation. China has actively participated in the development of aviation in EAC and is looking towards the establishment of a sustainable aviation industry, thus the proposal to establish an EAC Joint ATM Laboratory.
The 27th November meeting was a great opportunity for CETC to meet with leaders of EAC and Partner States' CAAs. CETC was established by the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) to develop both civil and military electronics. It is the main manufacturer and research company of electronic devices in China. For the first time, CETC this year entered into an agreement with the government of PRC to supply its products outside China. It has so far successfully exported its products to USA, Latin America and Asia. It has become the leading enterprise in aviation technology in PRC with corporation of CAAC. CETC played a leading role in the development of ATM in PRC. In 2004 – 2006, China and Europe developed an ATM platform. Last November 2015, CETC signed a co-operation agreement with Kenya. It is now looking forward to co-operation with the other EAC Partner States in the next 2 – 3 years. An important activity of this Forum is the signing of the EAC Joint ATM Laboratory Agreement. CETC plans to train African States in the ATM Laboratory for the development of ATM, and will eventually invest in establishment of an ATM academy in the next 5 years. CETC will recruit local experts as well for the running of this Academy which will perform research, maintenance of Next Generation ATM equipment.
During the meeting, the acting Director of KCAA ANS, Mr. Wesechere, gave a brief overview on the status of ATM in EAC Partner States. Participants were informed that Airspace classifications are unique in each State. Kenya and Uganda have made formal arrangements on special, joint, flexible use of their airspace. Traffic operating above FL 245 is more than that operating below FL 245. All Partner States except Burundi have HF. Kenya has AMHS and AIM automation while other PS are in the process of implementation.
At the end of the meeting, an EAC Joint ATM Laboratory Agreement between Kenya and China was signed, where the laboratory will be hosted in Nairobi, Kenya.
CASSOA congratulates the EAC Partner States and CETC on this great achievement.

Dear Dabby,
They are from the PUMA site, but El Dupe liked them and said I should post them here also.
Do YOU have a question for Dear Dabby? Email him @ email@example.com
Dear Dabby,
I hear the Mercury is putting on an "alleycat". What's
your opinion on this?
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
A. Pretendager
A. Pretendager,
In reality, this situation is worse than it even
seems. Fat Tire, the brewer, who is better at jumping
on bandwagon's than brewing beer, is throwing a number
of these across the country, Portland's being one.
There are some things that should be left alone. For
very good reason.
When corporations, and local rags (not even good
ones at that) start putting their noses deep into the
stink, and arrange event's that are so far out of
their element as to be effectively foreign to them, it
is the local cycling population that pays.
We are dealing with a cyclist/police problem
right now here in our fine city. With a huge increase
in ridership, the profiling of our small band of
messengers by the Portland Police is a constant. Yes,
in our town, messengers are carrying the brunt of the
ignorance of the 'Fixster"
We have a messenger here who has received at least 13
ticket's this spring and summer, from the same two
These range from legitimate stop sign violations, to
unconstitutional interpretation of loosely worded
braking ordinances.
Racing an alleycat in this town has become a sketchy
enough proposition, where one stop sign on your fixed
gear can cost upwards of 500 dollars in fines, or
in Portland speak about two week's work.
Now I have been approached by many sources, asked to
write articles about alleycats, schedules and info
on future races, etc.
And, besides my crazy ramblings on my stupid blog
, I have refused
every single offer. Yes, even the one's that have
offered to pay.
To see a local rag, that has already done irreparable
damage to the glowing reputations of Axles of Evil
bike polo, and the messenger's that our city relies on
daily, throwing a alleycat sickens me thoroughly.
It will do nothing more than to draw negative
attention to the one little slice of underground pie
that we still have.
And, don't get me wrong, hundreds will show up.
There will be a police presence. I do not even think
that the Mercury knows a "city wide race" is
considered illegal street racing, no different than
racing two rice burner's up Burnside. I do know they
can't get a city wide race permit, and they have
advertised it as a "City Wide Race", terminology that
will get you fined.
I can only hope that this is the beginning of a big
bite on the ass of civilian alleycats. If we are
lucky, this wound will get infected and cause long
term pain, possibly followed by a shot in the cheek
with a long, thick needle.
On a final note, when these "big wigs" {I have met
some of the Mercury staff, and they are not small
framed} jump onto the bandwagon, the supports will
surely break, depositing them firmly on the ground,
and back at square one, where they belong.
Bringing it 'round the Turkey and into your living
Dear Dabby,
Imagine an alleycat where it's Kevin Bacon from
Quicksilver vs. Kevin Costner from American Flyers vs.
Dave from Breaking Away. Who would win and why?
Dear Velocinophile,
Now this is a question that should have been posed
many moons ago.
In formulating the answer, I believe that we need to
cover a few key points about each of these men.
First Kevin Bacon. Hmmmm Bacon. Let me start by
saying I love bacon. I hope that my love for the
crispy meat does not heavily influence my answer.
While he appeared to have some sort of street smarts
in the movie, the reality is this:
He really did not even come close to beating L.
Fishburne in the epic "battle royale" between good and
evil. Yes, I know that Lawrence was killed by the drug
dealer in the middle of the race. But before that he
totally had Bacon beat.
Costner.... God damned Costner. If we review even
just a couple of his highlighted roles we can plainly
see is is no winner, and no thinker.
He had an aneurism during "American Flyer's". They
never even showed him finishing a race. He didn't even
really play much in "Bull Durham", and what does a
catcher really do anyway. And well, in the "Postman"
he was basically just a con man, preying on the
willing hearts of other's. On a final note, I have
friends who played the Russian's in "Flyer's", and
gained a little insight into the man through them.
This brings me to Dave. The original "Cutter". In
this film we can plainly see the length's he went to,
just to make a difference for himself. Everything
about this young lad screamed winner. As much as he
whined and suffered throughout this long film,
including drafting a truck magically in his small,
front chainring, he never gave in. Dreams of winning,
dreams of college, and, shared with me, dreams of
Italy, and racing with the legends there.
There is absolutely no question as to who would win.
As much as we love to hate them, and hate to love
them, the difficulty of living life as a "Cutter" will
pull Dave through to the end of the alleycat, possibly
even finishing right behind your's truly,

24 hours, not 24 hour's and 12 minutes.....
First off, the return of Dear Dabby. My buddies last year started an advice column, and told me I was answering questions that people sent in. I just kinda answer in a rambling , stream of conciousness sort of way, and do no editing. I leave that up to them. Let me know what you think, or better yet, send me a question. http://portlandmessenger.org/main.php?e=DearDabby&t=questions
Rickreall. Oh, the green, or brown, fields of Rickreall. the grass was cut, the orchards were free of nuts, but the house was full of them, as the 2007 Rickreall open went off without a hitch. Which is good, because we didn't have a trailer anyway.
Many groups rode down. Dee and Claire were there on thursday night, on the way to Yachat's to hang with Ann's parents.
I rode down with Mange and Beefa, at least to Newberg, were we had a little break down.
No, not mechanical, mental, as I guess mange's pace was too slow for Beefa, and he took it out on me. there was also some control issues, as Steve wanted us to blindly follow him across Oregon. When I confronted him about our route, he flipped out, and refused to tell me, leading me to believe he had no idea where he was going. And this turned out to be entirely true, as after he left us in Newberg, he became very lost.
Mange and I had a nice ride though, took the hilly way, through the gravel. We bitched and moaned, and arrived, after only one flat tire, an hour after Beefa.
People started rolling in from the countryside, and the revelry began. Friday night is generally a nicer, mellower evening, and this was the case again.
Ryan has a much more detailed account on his blog if your are interested.
I survived the 24 hour alleycat, with Gary as my partner, fairly intact. We were legitimately beaten by Hazel and Grizzlie Mike, who were illegitimately beaten by Drew and Lucky. They were 12 minutes late for the 24hour cutoff, and were disqualified. It was also well known that they had a team of people doing things for them, as well as research. I know I spent at least two hours, if not more, researching and answering questions for myself, taking away from precious riding time. I slept one mere hour by the way.
Not only is this a huge violation of the race rules, but also a violation of trust between racer's. A 2 man team is just that, 2 men. I recall a moment, a week later, sitting at the Alberta Street pub, when Drew stupidly announced that "this is Kate, and without her, we never would have won the 24 hour race!"
Strangely, I don't recall ever seeing her there........ Go figure!
They ended up getting the $666 dollars, but Karma will get them in the end. We can only hope.
What did I get for my efforts? A lackluster Pabst , which cost the loser's, I mean winner's, less than a dollar.
For now, I leave you with a few of the required pics from the 24 hours......

Time keeps on slippin' slippin'...into the future?
As I sit here at Stumptown, thinking back on the whirlwind of events leading up to this relaxing monday, Tim Mason's corrupting voice is in my left ear, and Tear's for Fear's is in my right.
The hustle and bustle of Stumptown appears to have dropped to about half since the big price hike. For a people watcher such as me, this is like having the sit and lie ordinance enforced right in front of the box I own seasons ticket to.
This aside, I have been involved in alot of things recently, many of which it takes a while to write up.
Look for my run down of the 24 hour Alleycat Damien threw. It will be long I warn you, as the race itself was.
I have done a couple of other races, some Mt. Biking trips, much polo.
This just in.
A person behind me says he writes for Willamette Week, and is pressing flesh with Tim Mason. of course Mason is sucking it up, while I interjected this.
" Please make sure that when referring to a track or fixed gear bike, you never use the term "No Brakes".
I pointed out the this is just a lie, and the term no brakes has done more bad then good, by far...
Here are some random photo's, I may add captions.
But I may not.

Hey AB,
Can you take a look at the following article which can help you to add the author to the UAL(User Access List) with RWDA permission.
How to set User Access List to author itself with RW (or RWDA) permissions using Rules (Doc ID 1917942.1)
2. Re: User must have at least write privilege on the entity fields on an update or check-in1053977 Nov 7, 2019 7:21 AM (in response to ManojC)
Thank you Manoj for the update, appreciate it.
We identified the root cause and fixed the issue. It is working now as expected. The reason of ECM check-in working fine for few document types and breaking for impacted one's was the incorrect alias name in GROUPACL for one of the group. So during check-in, we set xClbraAliasList values from Alias table and give those groups RW permissions on the document. We identified that for one of the group alias name was incorrect and post correcting it check-in started working as expected.
As WCC error description was not to the point hence thought of sharing the case and solution.
Thank you,

Tuesday 17 May 2011 UPDATE
Good Evening, this is the National, with Peter Mansbridge…err, OK, sorry, a little humour isn't a bad thing. Sorry it's so little.
Looks like I missed a few requests to be added to the mailing list last night, so am including yesterdays update at the BOTTOM of this email for those of you I missed.
Current Situation
Today's Lake Level: 814.631 Up 0.03 feet from yesterday…we're lucky again!
Diversion Inflow : 32,950 cfs
Hoop and Hollar Cut Flow : 400 cfs
Assiniboine River is expected to Peak at Inlet to the Diversion in the next few days
Summer-like weather and light south winds continued today, helping counter Diversion inflows through evaporation. South winds continue to push water to North Basin.
Forecast for tomorrow is slightly cooler, and light winds from the SE to East. Still very good news – Hurray!
Update Lake Level Forecast Information
Today Water Stewardship provided an update to their Lake level forecast of 815.3 to 815.8 feet to show what effect a strong north wind would have on the south basin if the water was at 815.5 feet.
They provided a map showing what a sustained North Wind of 60 km/h would do to Lake level including Wind Set upto us in the South Basin(Note: This is basically what we at the beach often call Wind Tide). That number is 818.5 feet(Note that does not include wave height). So basically a 3 foot Wind Set-up(Wind Tide).
Here is the Map: http://www.gov.mb.ca/waterstewardship/floodinfo/forecast_centre/maps/inundation_maps/rm_portagelaprairie.pdf
How high would the waves be? They haven't provided this information, as it is a tough question to answer, as wave height increases with duration of the wind blowing. The longer the wind blows in one direction, the higher the Waves and the Higher the Wind set-up.
You may wish to take this new information into account when determing your home protection plan. Basically:
Water Height + Wind Set-up + Your Guess at Wave Height = How High You Need to Be(or if you are low – how high your need to be)
Some Good News in the News
The Province announced today they are going to start looking at the communities effected on Lake Manitoba. They plan to first have general meetings with the RMs and Communities within the next few days.
They also wanted to point out that "if natural conditions were in place, it is estimated that today, levels on Lake Manitoba would be approximately 1.1 ft higher." (Note to Readers: Please don't shoot the messenger).
Far West Beach Road Access
More Good News. Beyond our emails to the RM/EMO last week – Val Smith wrote another email today, and called the RM as well . We are pleased to report that Terry Simpson called today and indicated the RM would start working on the road tomorrow likely with gravel to increase it's height, so Far West cottagers can access their homes.
A number of people have been asking about Elevations. I contacted the RM Planning office, in hopes that they might have some elevations they could share – even if unofficial. To help people determine individual home elevations. They indicated their only known elevation is 815.7 feet at the top of the Northwest Corner of the Channel bridge(the cement).
I also spoke to the RM as there had been elevations for most of the homes in the South of the Cut area both before and after dike building. They weren't sure who did it, but thought it might be Hydro. I spoke to the Hydro office today, and the indicated it wasn't them – as they only have 3 surveyors in the entire Province. They suggested I try Highways. I wasn't able to reach anyone, but will try again tomorrow.
In meantime, if anyone knows there property elevations, EMAIL me, and I will post tomorrow, to help others.
If you know a surveyor who can help out, please let us know.
Volunteer Save Delta Projects
East Channel Bridge – Further to last report, we have some volunteers, and can use more, but hope to have this all figured out tomorrow. Plan is to use the Super SandBags to protect the East Channel Bridge, as once it is underwater, because it is a River, gravel won't help us out. If you want to volunteer for this project, or have knowledge of how these work…please contact Don Clarkson.
Pump Out Centre Cottages – Has progressed well, and only Middleditch's cottage now has water up to the front door. A volunteer has been found to keep the pumps gased and running.
Sand Diking Supervisors for the Elderly and Unable – No names have come forward. If you are able/willing to assist someone who can't lead their own diking, please contact me. We already have two people who could really use the help.
Next Big Push
We're thinking about trying to organize the next big sand bagging push for this weekend, as it looks like the weather will hold until then. SO think about it, and we'll have more info tomorrow night.
Closing Thoughts
You might wonder if we should wait on the RM and the Province. However, with so many communities around Lake Manitoba, and the difficulty EMO had handling the 150 in the Hoop and Holler cut, we might just continue to be told, they would love to help, but can't. Meanwhile, we would have lost valuable preparation time. In addition, if we do the math on the info they published today on Wind Set-up numbers with current lake levels (814.6 feet) and a 60 km/h wind from the North, according to their numbers, the East Channel Bridge would be under 2 feet of water.
Therefore, we think we should keep going on the preparation and ensuring as many as possible have road access. The old saying "Forewarned is Forearmed".
Well that's what we know tonight. Keep hoping for more dry weather and south winds!

Here is last nites report for those I didn't have emails for:
Monday 16 May 2011 UPDATE
Thank you again for the kind emails about the updates. Am glad that they are helpful. The hope is that by sharing information, we can work better as a community, and maybe reduce the stress a bit.
Scott Greenlay

P.S. Important info from previous emails for those of you who might have missed them:
How High will the Lake get?
Information on projected lake level can be found on the Governemtns website located here:
If you click on the "Portage La Prairie" link, it will show you a map of our end of the lake, and the expected water.
Basically, they are saying "Manitoba Water Stewardship expects peak water levels for Lake Manitoba's south basin may reach between 815.2 and 815.6 feet above sea level "
How high is the Lake today?
You can check the current lake level each day by going to the website:
and clicking "Flood Sheet" for Manitoba Lakes.
How High is my Home?
If you don't know, check your survey certificate, it might have an elevation. Ask a neighbour, they might know. The difference between your elevation and the expected lake level gives you a good idea of how you sit.
If you want to sand bag your home
Here is the URL to the Manitoba Govm't Website for building a sandbag wall:

SAN ANTONIO – A Live Oak man has been arrested after his roommate called police saying he found child pornography on the 27-year-old's home computer.
Patrick Felux was taken into custody Monday morning as the result of a nine month long investigation.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated Live Oak police said the roommate contacted them on Nov. 16, saying he had found images on Felux's desktop computer showing boys and girls, ages 10 to 16, engaging in sex acts.
Police said the roommate made the discovery after he asked to use Felux's computer to complete a homework assignment.
During the past nine months, investigators have been obtaining warrants and combing through the computer's hard drive, the affidavit stated.
In addition to the original images, police said they found a folder containing video of a girl as young as 9-years-old, engaging in sex acts with a grown man, the affidavit stated.
Early on in the investigation, the affidavit stated, detectives interviewed Felux who admitted to downloading pornography related to an unusual fetish.
Felux is charged with possession of child pornography. Records show he was released from the Bexar County Jail Monday night after posting a $15,000 bond.

increase sensitivity of 'pull-to-refresh-inbox'
The 'pull-to-refresh-inbox' is very 'heavy'. The amount of swipe required to pull down the refresh is unfriendly. Some times it gives me the feeling I am not going to reach the full pull required for it to work.
I would suggest increasing the height of this refresh-bar for a more lightweight feel to the refresh (so for the same amount of swipe it would show a higher 'pull-to-refresh-inbox-block'. Possibly the amount of swipe required to initiate the refresh could be decreased at the same time.
It would also be nice to see in the bar when the refresh is triggered, i.e. also show the refresh spinner once the refresh is triggered.

I have a label system something like this in Gmail:
Basically the + are companies and the non+ labels are labels I use across all companies so I don't have to create tons of duplicate sub-labels inside each company.
Issue is that Airmail labels things (ie the color triangle) in the inbox by first alphabetical label but it puts +XXX at the end of the list whereas Gmail puts it at the beginning.

Bosses at Stagecoach in Oxfordshire are taking a look at how they can fill the gap left by the scrapping of the X90.
Last week Oxford Bus Company stunned passengers by informing them that the X90 would end on January 4.
The decision put pressure on commuters who use the X90 route to look at alternatives, including taking Stagecoach's Oxford Tube or the train.
READ AGAIN: Oxford Bus Company X90 service is being scrapped
Stagecoach has been looking at its options and says it won't put prices up on Oxford Tube tickets until 'spring 2020'.
Today it also announced the possibility of introducing new links to Baker Street in the New Year.
Chris Coleman, managing director for Stagecoach in Oxfordshire and the Oxford Tube, said: "We have reviewed the situation and recognise that our current passengers on the Oxford Tube, along with those affected by the withdrawal of the X90, are concerned about capacity issues and affordability of the service for the future.
READ AGAIN: Restaurant boss to sell off his Cowley Road empire
"We would like to reassure customers that we are looking at enhancing the current Oxford Tube timetable to increase capacity along with the possibility of introducing new links to Baker Street in the New Year.
"With regards to fares, we will be operating with the current fares and have no plans to change these in the immediate future and will review as part of our annual fares review in Spring 2020.
READ AGAIN: Passengers react to X90 being axed
"We will be releasing more details in due course and in the meantime will continue to operate the Oxford Tube to the current timetable, operating 24 hours a day 7 days a week."

About Laser Body Contouring
As a nonsurgical treatment, laser body contouring with truSculpt iD uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to destroy fat cells. It is safe and effective for all skin types and is most commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, flanks, and back. At Nadomi Medspa, Dr. Nada Zaknoun offers laser body contouring to help patients achieve their desired shape without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures. To learn more about laser body contouring with truSculpt iD, contact our Wareham, MA facility to schedule your initial consultation.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for laser body contouring with truSculpt iD are individuals who:
- Have a body mass index of 38 or lower
- Have stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise
- Are not pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- Do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or an internal defibrillator
Treatment Technique
Since laser body contouring is a nonsurgical procedure, there is no need for anesthesia. The treatment uses monopolar RF technology to target fat and therapeutically heat it. The truSculpt iD handpiece is heated and applied to the designated treatment area that will be discussed in your consultation with Dr. Zaknoun. Most patients describe the sensation as feeling like a hot stone massage. Treatments usually take 15 – 30 minutes per target area.
What to Expect
Following a laser body contouring treatment, patients may experience a little tenderness, redness, or mild irritation, but these symptoms will subside gradually. truSculpt iD does not disrupt or harm the skin, as it specifically targets fat cells. It focuses on dimension, definition, and depth to tighten the skin and reduce fat cells. The results often diminish fat cells by 24% in just one treatment. Multiple sessions may be performed at 6 – 8-week intervals, but Dr. Zaknoun can provide more specific recommendations during a consult.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser body contouring cost?
The cost of a laser body contouring treatment will vary, depending on the areas of the body that are being treated. During your initial consultation at Nadomi Medspa, we will discuss your desired results and determine a treatment plan that will best suit your needs and budget. We will also be able to talk with you about any alternative payment plans that we accept at our facility.
Will I need multiple treatment sessions?
While some patients may see their desired results after one treatment session, others may require a series of treatments.

A man arrested for trying to kill his son.
A Man identified as Manzoor Hussain Banyari was arrested on Tuesday for trying to kill his newborn baby. According to report Banyari who approached a gravedigger in the northern city of Srinagar, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, to help him dig a grave for his son who he told the gravedigger was dead a previous day. it was also reported that his son was born with a tumor.
Meanwhile, when Banyari arrived the graveyard to bury his son, the child cried out as he lowered the infant into the grave.
Reports from a police officer stated that "People handed over the accused to the police station in Nowhatta. He stated that the infant was suffering from some congenital disease for which he did not have the means to treat the child,"
Police said that the child was admitted to a hospital for treatment. The mother of the child also remains in the same hospital where she gave birth to the baby boy.
In a recent incident, a newborn baby died after her mother chopped off the infants extra fingers and toes, as she feared the oddity could hamper the baby girl's chances of finding a groom for marriage. She had allegedly coated the baby's injuries with cow dung, but the girl died within hours. She then buried the child.

Or, perhaps a more fitting question – can you be too old to be a fan of something?
Here at FWHQ, as you may have noticed, we love our Disney and our Dreamworks and other 'children's media' so much that we have a separate GUST (Grown-Ups Should Try, if you've been living under a rock) review every issue. But even with these, we take a 'children's' show or book or movie and say "Okay, it's aimed at children, but these are all the reasons adults might like it." Often these things are different to what the children will get out of it – maybe it's the adult humour Disney are so fond of using, or maybe it's the scenery or the special effects.
But sometimes that's not it.
Sometimes, when I'm channel-surfing, I come across something like Blue's Clues. Nine times out of ten, I stop channel-surfing and continue watching. It might come as a surprise to you, but I'm not doing that for the scenery or the adult humour.
Now, in this case, the word 'fan' is probably too strong. Looking back to one of our earliest articles about the difference between a fan and a viewer, in this case, I'm a viewer.
I'm not saying I run off and write fanfiction about Blue and Magenta, or that I spend ages producing a theory about how exactly they jump into that little painting, or that I have a headcanon that Mr Salt and Mrs Pepper were married by Reverend Vinegar. Although they probably were.
So maybe the initial question shouldn't be 'can you be too old to be a fan of something' but 'can you be too old to enjoy children's media?' My dissertation tutor would be very proud of me. That's twice I've refined the question. And the basic answer to the question, in my opinion, is yes. You can be too old for children's media… but that isn't dictated by society. Don't get me wrong – society likes to think it is, but it isn't.
To illustrate this, allow me to resort to a popular example that has circulated the internet on pretty much every social media site out there. If you were to show a Disney movie to a primary or elementary class, assuming they were under ten, most would be bouncing off the walls with excitement. I say 'most', because of course it might be a movie that one child doesn't like, or there might be a child or children that don't like watching movies. I'm like that – it's brought ridicule and almost-panic attacks since I was nine. But I digress.
I've noticed ten seems to be the cut-off. Between ten and fifteen, or thereabouts, kids start becoming more aware of society's expectations. They're 'not kids' anymore, and they demonstrate this by reverting to a maturity equal to that of a three-year-old. These 'adolescents' simultaneously reject anything connected with their childhood and embrace anything they view as 'grown-up' whist at all times shunning any kind of responsibility whatsoever. Once again, I must reiterate that this is not the case for everyone. I am talking about the vocal majority. That's 'vocal', not 'vast'.
Since I'm not carrying out my dissertation research on the views and experiences of adolescents, I can't state with absolute certainty that it is the majority. For all I know, the kids-that-aren't-kids-anymore-but-sure-as-hell-act-like-it all really want to watch a Disney movie in class, but one or two popular kids start whining about how it's for babies, and the rest decide to participate in something called 'self-preservation', otherwise entitled 'go with the status quo and you won't get socially slaughtered at school'. So, yes, the vocal majority decide that Disney movies are far too young for them. Pass fifteen, however, and you suddenly have a room full of young adults bouncing off the walls again, because 'OMG Disney!'
It's quite a bizarre state of affairs. The same example tends to also apply to colouring books, but I'm not quite sure of the connection. Unless they're Disney colouring books. So why do we suddenly revert when we become adults? Again, without carrying out research, I can only hypothesise. My theories – because I do have two – are nostalgia and responsibility.
Nostalgia is obvious. Going back to my channel surfing, if I come across a children's channel, I may find a show I used to watch. My housemate, her boyfriend and I spent an evening last month discussing all the shows we used to watch as children, and looking up the theme songs on YouTube. You may have done this yourself, and we all say as one, "Oh, I remember that!" Those characters, dancing around your screens, were your first television friends. That book you just found under your bed was your favourite bed-time story for three years – in fact, if you ask you parents or grandparents or whoever used to read it, they can probably still recite it. It gives you the same warm fuzzy feeling you get when you talk about 'real' people you used to know and love.
Responsibility is a bit more obvious. We spend much of our adolescence trying to be adults – and, again, I use 'we' here lightly, because I spent much of mine clinging to my childhood for as long as possible. When we do become adults, we suddenly realise that being grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be. I can't help but think of the song 'When I Grow Up' from Matilda: The Musical, in which the children sing about all the things they'll be able to do when they're adults – go to bed late, climb trees, eat all the sweets they like. As children, that is how we view adulthood, but the truth is we suddenly get landed with a lot of responsibility that many of us were never taught how to handle. Sure we can find the value of x in any given equation, but how exactly do you balance a budget? And, in times like these, it's not uncommon for people to look for escape somewhere else. Some go running (I never did understand those people), some paint, some write, some curl up with a childhood favourite, or pop in a Disney movie. Because you don't have to think, you don't have to formulate theories or catch red herrings or wonder if it's going to have a happy ending. You don't have to any responsibility for your own entertainment.
However, I did say that you can be too old for children's media. There may come a time for you – yes, you – when you're watching a children's television show or movie, and you think "This just doesn't do it for me anymore. It's too young for me, and it's boring me now." It may have already happened. And that's okay. But there may come a time when you want that nostalgia or that lack of responsibility. And then, you might find that book, or that show, or that movie.
And no matter how long it's been, they will always be there to welcome you home.

FRANKFURT (REUTERS) - The European Central Bank kept its interest rates and forward guidance unchanged as expected on Thursday but will likely use a news conference to address a growing list of obstacles that again threaten to derail its efforts to lift growth and inflation.
Italy's bank troubles, Britain's decision to leave the European Union and difficulty in finding enough bonds to buy in its asset purchase programme may all require some action, dashing ECB chief Mario Draghi's hopes that the bank was done after years of extraordinary stimulus measures.
Not keen on hasty moves, Mr Draghi is likely to manoeuvre through on Thursday with verbal action, highlighting the increased risks and opening the door to changes as soon as September, when the bank releases fresh economic forecasts.
The trick will be to sound dovish enough to signal readiness to act but without committing or overly inflating market expectations that could ultimately lead to disappointment, even if the bank provides more stimulus.
The ECB kept its deposit rate at minus 0.4 per cent and the main refinancing rate at 0.00 per cent, both record lows, as it seeks to cut borrowing costs for firms and force banks to lend money out rather than park cash with it.
It also left unchanged its guidance that rates would stay at present or lower levels for an extended period, and well beyond its asset purchase horizon.
Regarding those purchases, the bank repeated that its 80 billion euro per month programme would run until March 2017 or beyond if necessary, until it sees an upward adjustment of inflation toward its target.
Markets' attention now turns to Draghi's 1230 GMT news conference where he will detail the economic outlook.

I've been wanting to image NGC 7000, the North America Nebula for a long time. A couple of previous attempts made with the Epsilon-200 were not that impressive--mostly due to tracking problems with the mount. Also, the combination of the Epsilon-200's field of view and my camera's chip size is not wide enough to capture the entire nebula at once. Mike Prokosch captured it with his ST80 and Canon Rebel XTi, which has the same CMOS imaging chip as my camera. His turned out so well that I knew that I had to try. Here is mine:
|NGC 7000, the North America Nebula. ST80 on Vixen GP. 9x180 at ISO-1600.
The purple halos around the stars are the result of chromatic aberration. This is a common problem with refractor-type telescopes. It is caused by the fact that different wavelengths (colors) of light do not focus at the same point. The ST80 is an achromatic refractor, which means that it has a pair of objective lenses that help to reduce this effect; but, it is not 100% effective. Higher-end refractors, like apochromats and others that use specially made (and more expensive) lenses minimize or eliminate this effect. Mike's image doesn't have the pronounced purple halos because his exposure time was shorter.
But, hey! I'm not worried about purple halos at this point. I'm just happy that I can get decent astro images from my own yard! After all, my primary purpose in doing all of this is to see things that I can't see with the naked eye. I'll worry about making perfect images later...
The North America Nebula, named because its shape resembles the continent, is a huge molecular cloud located in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. The nebula is quite large from our point of view, spanning the width of about four full moons. It is difficult to see, though, because it is very dim. I can be seen with large telescopes under very dark skies, but the best way to see it is in long-exposure images, like the one above.

The Incomparable Sanctuary Of La Manzanilla
The town is well-liked by vacationers from North America, mainly the United States and Canada, who are looking for something other than the crowded tourist experience.
Perhaps this should be entitled, "Las Manzanillas", because there is more than one. Manzanilla is a town in Spain with a population of 2,300 inhabitants, La Manzanilla is a fishing village off the coast of Mexico, with slightly fewer inhabitants, 2000. The word, manzanilla, comes from the Spanish word for chamomile, or "little apple". The term may also refer to a variety of fino sherry.
In Mexico, the village occupies the Happy Coast, or Costa Alegre. Situated in the southeast part of the Bay of Tenacatita, the town of Manzanillo lies one hour's drive to the north; from Puerta Vallarta, it is a three-hour drive south. Neighboring villages include Tamarindo, Carayes and Isla Navidad.
The town is well-liked by vacationers from North America, mainly the United States and Canada, who are looking for something other than the crowded tourist experience. It is also popular with holidaymakers from all over Mexico. Most people work in hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and as fishermen. There is a nature sanctuary nearby which hosts a colony of roughly 300 crocodiles.
There is a galeria, or gallery, in town which showcases the work of artists from the local, regional and national areas. Different media and styles are represented at regular monthly receptions. Since 2003, the gallery has been operation in collaboration with Mexican and ex-pat artists.
Angela Lopez is one local artist and interior decorator. She will paint on walls, borders and other structural components of peoples' houses and can add a decorative personalized touch to furnishings and clothing. Many of her subjects come from the world of nature, including butterflies, flowers, birds and sea creatures.
Brian Kieling is an extremely versatile artist who displays his work at the Galeria. His work includes vibrantly colored beachscapes, such as "Zen Wave", or "Playa Nagrita", and single-colored paintings of palm trees, for example, "Blue Palm" and "Paradigm". Some of his most fascinating paintings are intricately colored scenes like "Eve" and "Peyote Palms". At the simple end of the complexity spectrum, he makes interesting use of primary colors, as in "Summer Solstice" or "The Artist and His Model".
Manzanilla is also the Spanish word for "little apples", or chamomile, a plant that is used to make an infusion drunk as a tea for its calming effects. It is often served with lemon and/or honey. Although the packaged tea is sold on supermarket shelves, it should be used with caution by people with rag weed allergies, in whom it may cross react to cause an allergic reaction, and in pregnant women, in whom it may induce premature labor and possibly miscarriage.
From Spanish town to Mexican village to a calming tea, La Manzanilla means different things to different people. The village on the coast of Mexico harbors an art gallery. The town is popular with North American tourists looking for a getaway that is off the beaten path but has enough of a tourism infrastructure to cater comfortably with visitors. Chamomile tea is a natural calming agent, but can cause miscarriage if drunk by expectant mothers.
