Mini Makeup Breakdown: Li Bingbing in U.S. InStyle

I was happily surprised when I came upon these gorgeous images of LBB in this month’s U.S.InStyle.В The unheralded photo shoot is really well done, LBB looks gorgeous!

To get LBB’s very sexy and glamourous look first make sure your face makeup is well finished and very matte by applying a powder over your foundation.В Then apply false eyelashes (check out our JA guide to false eyelash application here).В Finish the look off with MAC lipstick in Dare You, a deep brown-red.

If you want to go the extra mile with this look and paint your nails the same sexy blood red, I’d recommend Nars nail polish in Jungle Red.

How to Protect Your Home From a Hurricane

How to Protect Your Home From a Hurricane Bottom Line Secrets.Add our address,
bottomlinesecrets@news.bottomlinepublishing.com,
to your Address Book or Safe List.LearnВ howВ here.Hurricane Alert!Steps to Protect Your HomeBelieve it or not, hurricane season has startedand it’s expected to be a big one.So Danny Lipford, home maintenance consultant for CBS’s The Early Show, brings us his checklist of the precautions you should take to protect your home and belongings from the coming storms.

If the news about chocolate’s supposed health benefits has you eating lots of itor if you’ve always eaten lots of ityou may need help breaking the habit!This fatty, sugary treat is good for you only in very small amounts.Today Adrian Taylor, PhD, professor of exercise and health psychology at the University of Exeter in England, reveals a secret that can release your from the throes of your most intense chocolate cravings.First Time Investors Getting Rich With Real EstateEven While Broke and Jobless?It’s no secret that the real estate market is in shambles.Conventional thinking is to stay as far away from real estate as you can.But a "Secret Rock Bottom Blueprint" created by bestselling author and educator Dean Graziosi, has enabled hundreds of people to bring in thousands each month with no risk, no previous experience and without having any money or credit to start.Some have even become cash millionaires in less than a year! Now the step-by-step blueprint to truly create "money from nothing" is being released with a new twist that makes profiting even easier because of the market conditions. Hurricane Alert!Steps to Protect Your HomeThe peak of hurricane season is now upon us, and this year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration expects to see an above-normal Atlantic storm season.

What home owners need to do to protect their properties...

Cover windows with plywood. Don’t try to do this aloneand don’t wait until the last minute.Cutting plywood to size and securing it over a typical home’s windows is a full-day job for two physically fit people.Alternative: Polycarbonate is stronger than plywood and lighter and easier to maneuver.It’s available at many home stores in hurricane-prone regions.

If you live in an area at frequent risk for hurricanes, you might want to invest in storm shutters.These are very easy to close but cost around $400 to $800 per window, including professional installation.

Attach window coverings properly. Neither plywood nor polycarbonate will protect windows if high winds pull the coverings off.The most secure method is to use screws at least two inches longnever nailspositioned every 12 to 16 inches around the window’s perimeter.Screw into sleeve anchors or expanding anchors, not into the wall.When hurricane season is over, you can use vinyl screw h*le covers -- available in most hardware stores in hurricane-prone areasto cover up the h*les where the plywood was attached.

If you have a brick or stucco home, you can use PLYLOX window clipsthey can hold plywood in window casings without your having to drill h*les in walls.(800-583-4289, www.Plylox.com) Note on each cover which window it fits and which side is upto save time when you put them up in later years.Tape does nothing to protect windows during a hurricane and virtually nothing to prevent gla*s shards from flying around the room if the window does shatter.

Secure the garage. Garage doors often are blown in or sucked out during hurricanes.Double-wide doors are particularly vulnerable.Many garage-door makers sell reinforcement kits.

Trim trees. Trim any tree branch that could scrape against your shingles or siding if a strong wind blows it in that directiondo this each year before hurricane season.Remove dying trees and any dead branches that could snap off and hit your home.

Know where your home’s water, gas and electric cutoffs are located. You might need to turn these off in a hurry if a water pipe breaks in the storm...you smell gas...or walls are torn open and wiring is exposed.

Take "before" photos. Use a camera or video camera to record your home, possessions and landscaping before the hurricane strikes.This will help you make an insurance claim later, if necessary.

Don’t drain the pool or leave it empty. Water protects pools against falling debris and prevents high winds from pulling pools out of the ground or off the ground in the case of aboveground pools.Don’t worry about the pool overflowing in the stormpools can cope with that. interviewed Danny Lipford, who has worked as a contractor in Alabama for more than 30 years.He is the host of the nationally syndicated television program The Weather Channel.www.DannyLipford.comErase Tumors in 2 Months"Within two months, every tumor had shrunk, dried up and fallen off," said Tom to Dr.Gary Null about the miraculous disappearance of his rapidly spreading cancer.

Tom had already gone through surgery once for skin cancer on his forehead.Unfortunately, his skin cancer was melanoma.Just 10 days after the operation, the cancer was back with a vengeance.It reappeared on his forehead, and quickly spread to his arm, upper body and chest.

Four doctors all agreed: There was nothing they could do to cure this cancer.They all still wanted to operate.But Tom wanted to livenot just get sliced up.

Read on to learn what Tom did to save his life...Up to 97% of women get food cravings, as do 68% of menmost commonly for chocolate.

New study: People who habitually ate at least 3.5 ounces of chocolate daily abstained for two days.Next they took either a 15-minute brisk walk or a 15-minute rest, then unwrapped but were not allowed to eat chocolate.Participants reported fewer and less intense cravings for chocolate after walking than after resting.. An official at the American Cancer Society said that it’s easy to avoid half of all cancers.Of course, their #1 piece of advice is "stop smoking." We all know that.But I bet you don’t know the #2 cause of cancer.It’s something totally under your controlit’s much easier than quitting cigarettesand it’s the last thing you’d ever expect.I’ll tell you about it in a moment.

FOUR HOURS UNTIL MY EVENING ANTIBIOTIC INFUSION TREATMENT AND NO NEW VOLUNTEERS YET...........

FOUR HOURS UNTIL MY EVENING ANTIBIOTIC INFUSION TREATMENT AND NO NEW VOLUNTEERS YET........... Twenty four hours after I posted my continuing need for new and fresh volunteers to a*sist me, with my antibiotic infusion therapy in the rectory, mornings and evenings, seven days a week, which my doctor decided yesterday afternoon would not end on the original schedule, but continue for the time being; and having posted two blog columns, as well as numerous e-mails and phone calls made to solicit furtherВ a*sistance of my parishioners and friends, since then;В I sit here preparing to celebtate the 5 p.m.Sunday Vigil Ma*s, still needing a volunteer to connect and disconnect my 8 p.m.treatment, and having received no response to my urgentВ request, despite havingВ fifteen more persons read my blog today, than did yesterday.В  When bereaved family members who are parishioners, can continue to answer this need, after doing their share and more, duringВ the past three weeks, it is difficult to understand why any of the rest of you who are capable of carrying out this relatively simple, and straightforward, procedure, do not even inquire, or respond to my sincere and undeniably important request.В  Is it that I'm on my own to scrape up the bare minimum number of persons, and all but literally press them into service, regardless, so as not to inconvenience the rest of you ?В  Or is it that you don't really care whether I am in the parish doing the ministry I can and need to be doing, rather than being sidelined in a hospital rehab bed, away from OLOL, for no good reason other than these twice daily, less than four hours total, required dailyВ therapy treatments ?В  Whatever the reason, the indifference and unavailability, to my requestsВ are indicating clearly, what few persons within my wider circle are willing to even respond to my need, beyond your own comfort zones.В  I will find a way to soldier on, in completing this antibiotic regimen, hopefully without having to be readmitted to do so.But trying to accept and understand, the unwillingness and rationalizations, of those of you who will not respond, will take me even longer to phantom, as despite our obvious friendship connection, there seems to exist a greater disconnect...........Fr.В  Troy

526. Four packets of stitches to spay a female dog is extravagance

526. Four packets of stitches to spay a female dog is extravagance Best Time To Spay Your Female Dog
- A Dream Spay
Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow), MRCVS
Case written: 23 November, 2007
Update:В В 31 July, 2011

When the dog owner is well informed, a spay operation in the female dog can be a very smooth operation taking less than 30 minutes.

Today was such a day.The Miniature Schnauzer, born in Dec 3, 2005 was on heat 4 months ago.She was spayed today Nov 23, 2007 as the owner was advised to do so 3-4 months after heat and she made the appointment at the 4th month. My a*sistant Mark talked to the dog as he put the face mask over her muzzle.She did not struggle and went to sleep under 8% gas anaesthesia within 10 minutes.No tranquilisation was needed.I inserted the endotracheal tube to connect her lungs to the anaesthetic machine, maintained the anaesthesia at 1.5%.

The incision was 2.5 cm from the umbilicus.A 1-cm cut into the skin and the linea alba to access the internal organs of the womb and ovaries.I inserted the spay hook into the abdomen by turning it towards my right at 45 degrees caudally.

It hooked out the left uterine horn.I pulled the left ovarian ligament.The dog started to breath much faster as she felt the pain.My a*sistant increased the gas to 8% for a minute so that the dog had more gas to remove the pain of surgery.The minimal amount of gas given will lead to no deaths and that was why I used 1.5%.

No more rapid breathing observed.I cut the ovarian ligament with the scalpel.Clamped the ovarian stump.Ligated the stump.Then I pulled the left uterine horn totally out of the body and saw the right uterine horn at the uterine body junction popping out.I used forceps to pull it out.

From there, I accessed the right ovarian ligament and repeated the same procedure as with the left.No bleeding.The blood was normal red with oxygen.The dog was breathing regularly.Finally, I took out the uterine body, clamped and ligated it.It was let go into the abdomen.

The skin and muscles were stitched up.The gas anaesthesia was switched off as I stitched the skin.No bleeding from the ovarian and uterine tissues at all as the dog was no longer on heat.

The dog woke up smoothly after 3 minutes.An Elizabeth collar was given to prevent licking of wound.Overall, this was a dream spay.It was the most satisfying spay I had ever done as everything proceeded smoothly, there was no bleeding and therefore the surgical time taken was less than 30 minutes.The dog woke up by the last stitch as I had the gas reduced to 0% during stitching which is usually one horizontal mattress stitch. She went home without complications post-operation as the owner did not phone me nor came for stitch removal, thus saving time for him.

QUESTIONS THE OWNER ASKED:
1.Bathe the dog?Yes, but make sure the plaster is not wet.
2.Can the dog eat any food?Yes.
3.When to come back to remove the stitches.No need.The absorbable stitches will dissolve and fall off in 14-28 days.
4.When to remove plaster?7 days later.
5.Can give antibiotic and pain-killer tablets crushed and mixed with water inside a syringe?Yes.
UPDATE IN JULY 2011

ANAESTHESIA IN TOA PAYOH VETS
A new isoflurane vaporiser has been installed in July 2011.Maximum is 5%.The dog is usually sedated with xylazine or domitor before isoflurane gas is given by mask and then intubation.

USE OF SUTURES IN SPAYING A FEMALE DOG BY DR SING
For dogs in general, I find that one packet of 2/0 absorbable sutures is sufficient, even for big breeds like the Siberian Husky.From my over 30 years of spaying dogs, I find that there is no need to do a subcuticular sutures.One horizontal mattress suture closes the skin as shown below.

ADVICE TO NEW VETS
There are employee vets who use two packets to spay a female dog as they don't need to account for the bottom-line.

In July 2011, I discovered a vet who used 4 packets of sutures (2 packets of "0" chromic catgut and 2 packets of "3/0" absorbable monofilament).This is extravagance from this vet who does not have to pay for the sutures herself.There is a need for a new vet to be prudent and to keep surgery simple and safe for the dog.

Keep spay simple for the dog by using minimal suturing.Less sutures mean less irritation and itchiness during healing.There is no need for subcuticular sutures.If you feel the need to impress the client by using "subcutaneous" sutures (sutures under the skin) so that the client does NOT see any sutures on the skin, you need to have excellent stitching skills.No point showing the sutures or stitching another appositional layer if you want to impress the client.






A RARE CASE OF PYOMETRA IN A VERY YOUNG FEMALE DOGPyometra in a very young female Silkie Terrier is very rare as this womb infection occurs usually in female dogs over 5 years of age.By spaying her, the owner prevents pyometra which can cause death in some female dogs.

The Pink Series

Get it?Red White PINK?

The battle of who gets to keep their Sox.

White Sox games leave me bittersweet, remembering the good ol’ days watching the Charlotte Knights (The White Sox’ Triple A) knock around Fort Mill.

I can still remember the day Peavy pitched.Lovely.

And then the PawSox would come into town and I’d switch hats, turning into the traitor you see before you.Can’t mess with my Red Sox, guys.And Peavy, you were naive if you thought this would last when the REAL team came to town.I AM married, after all.Hi, Youkie.

But see, this game isn’t about nostalgia.This game is about TIM WAKEFIELD.

19 seasons.And it comes to this.GAME 200.Happens TONIGHT.

«One step closer,» he said of the 200-win mark.«I’ve been fortunate this year to pitch as well as I have.The last couple haven’t been that great, but they’ve been good enough and I’ve been fortunate to be on a great team and to get some wins here and there.»

200 or BUST.BUST.Do you hear me, Youkie?BUST.

A few changes: Gonz- scratched.Youk- first.

You can do it, hubbie.

~L

PS- «BUST» wasn’t meant to be literal.Please don’t break, Youkie.

Kim: Most Common Korean Surname Tells 1500 Year Tale Of Nationhood

Kim: Most Common Korean Surname Tells 1500 Year Tale Of Nationhood
The most common surname in Korea Kim has been traced back 1500 years using a statistical model, providing evidence of a strong, stable culture that has remained intact to this day.
Credit: IOP

In a study published today, 28 July 2011, in the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society’s New Journal of Physics, researchers have been able to estimate that in the year 500 AD, 50,000 people carried a Korean family name, of which there were 150 variations and 10,000 people carrying the name Kim.

The researchers state that this implies stability in the Korean culture: as the population and occupied area expanded over the past 1500 years, it basically swallowed other cultural influences without compromising a core of the Korean culture that remained intact.

The family name you are born with is very important in the Korean culture, which is reflected in the tradition that women keep their family names when married.Confucian tradition also encourages a family to record their family tree in special books.

Using a set of ten historical Korean books, each documenting the history of a Korean family tree over the past 500 years, it was shown that the trend in Korean family names could be accurately described by a statistical model called the random group formation (RGF).

The RGF model is a predictive tool that has previously been used to give accurate descriptions of the frequency of words in novels and the trend in the populations of cities throughout a country.It works by taking objects, such as the population of Korea, and dividing them into groups, in this case based on their family names.

A unique feature of the RGF model is that the largest group, in this case the family name Kim, is always proportional to the wh*le data set.This means that the amount of people with the family name Kim increases or decreases at exactly the same rate as the population increases or decreases.

The researchers, from Umea University, Sungkyunkwan University and the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, found it extremely striking that the Korean family names agreed with the model; especially considering that other family names grew and shrunk in very different ways to the wh*le population and the vast amount of social changes that could affect this proportionality, such as wars, earthquakes, famines, plagues, fertility variations, etc.

The fact that the trend in Korean population and family names agreed with the RGF model allowed the researchers to predict the trend going back 1500 years.

If similar data to the Korean family books exists for other cultures, and the trends appear to agree with the RGF model, the model could prove to be a useful tool in gaining a deeper understanding of population growth throughout history.

One of the studies authors, Professor Petter Minnhagen, said, «What is explored in the paper is the size-dependence of the RGF-distribution.It is this feature which makes it possible to go back in time for a system which is described by the RGF-model.

«We are now looking at the family and species distributions in biology, which also seem to follow the RGF.Take the mammals, suppose there are at present X amount of families and Y amount of species distributed according to the RGF.If we follow the record backwards and the number of families decreases, the RGF will then give a prediction of the number of species existing at the earlier times and the size distribution of the families.At least that is the idea.»

MAN KILLS GIRLFRIEND, STAYS WITH CORPSE FOR TWO MONTHS

MAN KILLS GIRLFRIEND, STAYS WITH CORPSE FOR TWO MONTHS

Erik C.Grumpelt, 35, was arrested Monday after his father called Mesa, Ariz., police to say his son was living with a dead woman, police said in a statement.

The demented weirdo had tried to mask the smell of death with dozens of air fresheners and carpet cleaning powder, cops said.

Cops said Grumpelt confessed to brutally attacking Raya on May 19 after she told him she slept with other men in his bed, punching her several times in the stomach, KTLA reported.

Grumpelt said he split after the attack, and when he returned, Raya was unresponsive.He tried to perform CPR, but she wouldn’t wake up.

Cops said Raya had two children.

Grumpelt was charged with second degree murder.He was being held without bond.

The Least Exciting Part of a Road Trip

Don’t get me wrongI feel very fortunate to be able to take a trip of this length.Hellwe’ve been gone for five days already and the trip has only just begun.But there is one thing about longer vacations that is not funlaundry.

I’ve had my own washer and dryer since late 2003.That means it’s been a long time since I’ve been to a laundromatand believe me, being in a laundromat in Bar Harbor isn’t any more romantic, magical, or exotic than being in a laundromat in Hoboken (not that I’ve ever been to a laundromat in Hoboken, or to Hoboken at allit just seems like the least touristy place I can imagine!)

At least I have a smart phone, a blog, and two thumbs to pa*s the time!

false teeth?

false teeth? Ive been looking over the web but havent found what ive been looking for.My teeth are bad, but I cant afford to have them pull the teeth and get false teeth.Im not on welfare, so I cant have it done for free, yet i dont make enough at work to have any serious work done.Is there any kind of program or lower cost dental insurance out there that I can turn to that would help someone who is stuck between the income brackets to get the dental care I need?

Try to find a Dental School in a local Hospital or University.They often have cheap or free clinics where supervised students do the work.The instructors make sure all work is up to standard.

For-Profit College Chain In Kentucky Accused Of Cheating Students Out Of Financial Aid

For-Profit College Chain In Kentucky Accused Of Cheating Students Out Of Financial Aid
Attorney General Jack Conway (D), who is leading amulti-state investigation into for-profit colleges with top prosecutors from 18 other states, alleged that Daymar Colleges violated state consumer protection laws by engaging in «unfair, false, misleading and deceptive acts and practices» involving financial aid and recruitment of students.The suit seeks damages and restitution for approximately 5,000 students who were allegedly swindled by the schools.

The for-profit college industry, which has tripled in size over the past decade, is facing increased scrutiny on a national scale as evidence mounts that some schools are aggressively recruitingunsuspecting students and capturing disproportionate shares of federal student aid dollars as revenues.Many students leave the schools with unmanageable debts and little in the way of job prospects, leading to a high rate of federal student loan defaults.

Although Conway has been conferring with other state attorneys general from around the country, the case against Daymar Colleges is confined to Kentucky.Daymar operates 16 campuses in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, along with an online program.The schools have among the highest student loan default rates in the state, with nearly 37 percent of students at one of the Daymar schools defaulting on loans within three years of leaving the institution, according to data from the Department of Education.

The court filing states that administrators at Daymar purposely force students to purchase textbooks and other supplies from the school itself, instead of through third-party vendors that would charge substantially less.

Instructors and other employees tell students that they must purchase textbooks from the school in order to use their financial aid dollars, according to the filing.

«We’re alleging that this was a sophisticated and systematic effort on the part of Daymar to deny students access to their financial aid funds so that they could receive the benefit of marking up the books,» Conway said.

Administrators tell employees not to provide students with serial numbers or other information about textbooks, intentionally shrink wrapping the books to hide information that students could use to purchase the materials through another bookstore or the Internet.

«Defendants are engaged in a sophisticated practice of deceiving and misleading students about their textbooks and financial aid so that students will be forced into purchasing their textbooks and supplies from Daymar College at prices substantially higher than other vendors,» the filing reads.«Defendants have engaged in unconscionable conduct in causing students to incur additional educational costs and interest charges.»

A spokesman for Daymar, Tom Nunez, said the company has not had a chance to review the specific allegations in the lawsuit, but said the company will defend itself «vigorously» in court.

Conway would not say how much the school was marking up the textbooks for students.

Other allegations in the lawsuit involve issues of transparency and misrepresentation during the recruiting process.

The investigation found that employees at Daymar are not transparent up front about the amount of tuition and other costs that students will incur.Recruiters also make unfair promises about the value of the courses, according to the complaint, engaging in a practice of «enrolling and retaining students with false a*surances that their credits will transfer to public or traditional schools, when, in fact, the credits do not transfer in most circumstances.»

In addition to the multi-state probe into for-profit colleges, Conway’s office in Kentucky is investigating six other colleges in the state over potential misrepresentations about job placement and misleading recruiting tactics that violate state consumer protection laws.

«We need to make sure that these institutions are just as interested in taking care of students and finding them a job and educating them as they are in getting their hands on public taxpayer money via student loans,» Conway said.
