Good preparation and priming is essential to ensure that the antifouling adheres to the surface.
I have noticed that so many boats when they get antifouled on the Norfolk Broads seem to get a rushed job.
When I antifoul, after the jet wash, the hull gets roughed up with a scotch pad, primed with underwater metallic primer and then antifouled.
I see so many boats just get a jetwash and then some antifoul slapped on.
Personally, I think this is a joke.
You would not do that with any other type of paint or substrate covering so why do it with antifoul.
I think if someone is going to the trouble and expense of having a boat lifted out of the water, then surely it makes sense to do a proper job.
So many folks tell me it's okay, you don't need any primer and I have to say, that's total B.S.
Some simply anti-foul the water line! What you can't see you don't know!
I remember seeing a chap do that from a dinghy once. He was moored up at Richardsons and the antifoul line was more wavey than the water.


As some of you know i bought these off Nick Read on CS last week and they have just turned up at my work...both in excellent condition.
Thinking of selling because i want a bench for weightlifting so would like to see if theres any offers?
Pic of one of the wheels i have unwrapped - condition is very good..black marks are not scatches but appear to be greese or similar...will come out with wheel cleaner i think. Other wheel is in similar condition...not had the time to unwrap it though (going on sellers pics)...IIRC it has a silver rim on it unlike this one.
take it there not thew same colour as standard willy wheels?
Do they take stadnard centre caps?
GG: well they're the colour that prima made them in...looks to me to be a pretty good match (they're not overly gold like some) but i guess it comes down to personal opinion!
KS: i can't say for sure but i'd expect they would...think i have seen some with a mix of speedline and primas on their willy before...all using OE caps.
does the centre cap pop out?
I know theres a few people wanting to have their speedlines refurbed - you could use these while yours are away getting done or for track wheels??
Errm its a weider bench i think. Ill have to check my dad doesnt still use it.
...or some 35mm 16v springs?
These really must go - ANY offers?
oe willy caps will fit.
BUMP - still for sale.
Doh - forgot its still got the swap bit in the title :!: - i've actually now got some phase 2's sitting in the garage so this is for sale only.
I have just fitted a set of the 15" prima wheels and fitted the original speedline centres to them ok. They look original though I guess they are a bit heavier than the original speedlines.
It is a good way of refurbing original wheels and keeping the car on the road meanwhile.
I am having the originals shotblasted, then rims polished, then sprayed with rims masked and then laquered.
Incidentally there is good advice elsewhere to NOT use proprietary wheel cleners on these painted alloys as the acid in them simply strips the paint.
Use soap and water to clean them.
good luck and hope this helps a sale.


This session makes me smile, these two kids are AMAZING and full of personality! I've been wanting to photograph a vintage VW bug for years and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity and it was with these two, cause their incredible personalities scream fun and love for life. A HUGE thank you to the Callie family for allowing me to use their adorable car. Someday when I don't have to load a million hockey sticks and hockey bags into a vehicle I'm going to own one.

Sunday Snapshot: you go, girl.
She was the subject of my very first Sunday Snapshot. Over three years ago.
And today seemed a perfect day to do it again.
Because there is much to celebrate.
Isabelle's teacher called me on Friday. With some news.
Evidently, Isabelle's reading level was recently tested.
At the end of the year last year, Isabelle was reading at a level H – one level behind grade level.
And we were beside ourselves with excitement… she had gone from being a non-reader to a level H in just 9 months.
The teacher called to tell me that Isabelle's goal for this year – for all 2nd graders – is to be on level M by the end of the school year.
And she was just tested at level N.
She went on to tell me that, beyond Isabelle's accomplishments in reading, Isabelle is now the resident encourager to the other kids in her special reading class.
So this weekend we celebrated Isabelle. Chocolate cake and neapolitan ice cream with sprinkles. A movie she's been wanting to see. A lot of praise for how far she has come.
And a whole lot of excitement about how far she'll go.
What great news! Beautiful pictures.
Oh I so glad you celebrated her! What a special occasion for a very special girl!
Ahh! So fun! My heart is bursting! Go Isabelle!
Good for her! And you too. My favorite is the second shot…how happy she is.
What a wonderful moment! We have a seven year old from China that has been home for three years. Your post gives me hope that our little girl will also catch up in time! Way to go, Isabelle! Your post brought tears to my eyes! So happy to hear you celebrated that special moment as I am also a first grade teacher! A proud moment for all of you!
I LOVE this post!! Way to go, Isabelle!!
How super – and what an accomplishment! And how sweet that she's the encourager for the other kids, too! All things definitely worth celebrating! And of course, great photos, as always!
Way to go Isabelle!! That's awesome! And that last shot is fantastic!
Way to go! I'm having trouble linking up for some reason. Says I need a "backlink" and have no clue what that means. Anyways, http://annelifaith.blogspot.com/2013/03/sunday-snapshot.html is the link to my Sunday Snapshot!
Thank you! I'll try that. The link never has worked for me for some reason.
SUPER news, and great images to go along with it!
God is so good!! I rejoice and celebrate with you and Isabelle!! Yay!!!

Oh such big smiles with you! Praise Him!
You go girl, indeed! Congratulations Isabelle!!!
The reading teacher in me is celebrating with her!!! That is so awesome! Yay!!!! 🙂 the mom in me is crying – I'm so happy for her/you. With a son that struggles and struggles I know how hard it is to watch on this end. 🙂 the chocolate lover in me is saying "Ohhhh! chocolate cake! yummy!" I love it when a family celebrates like this. Great Post! Congratulations to your girl! She rocks!
Oh my goodness, this made my heart so happy!
As a 1st grade teacher, this kind of growth is why I do what I do!
Oh my goodness- isn't that fabulous news. She is just so lovely & you capture her beautiful spirit so well here.
Oh I love, love, love. What a sweet heart in a sweet (and smart!) girl.
BEST DAY EVER…with sprinkles on it! You go girl!!
What wonderful worlds await her in all the books she'll devour! What a day to celebrate!!!
Way to go Isabelle! What an awesome example you are to your classmates! You can do anything, with lots of work, dedication and a great attitude, sounds like you embody all three sweet girl!
Congratulations, Isabelle! Way to go!
Wow, Isabelle!!!!! That is a BIG deal! You are one smart, determined little girl. Can I have a little bit of what you've got? Congratulations from our family to you!
Beautiful! What wonderful news…I cried reading this post. Blessings!

Police: Babysitter dressed dead infant, tried to hide death
By: Ann Smajstrla, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
Updated: Jan 4, 2019 - 4:04 PM
WAUSAU, Wis. -
A Wisconsin woman will be charged with homicide after police say she killed a 2-month-old infant she was babysitting, then dressed the baby and returned him to his mother.
Marissa Tietsort, 28, was charged Friday with first-degree intentional homicide in the baby's death, the Wausau Daily Herald reported.

According to a criminal complaint, the baby was alive when his mother dropped him and his older brother off with Tietsort on the afternoon of Oct. 18, 2018. Tietsort was aware that the baby died while he was in her care, police said in the complaint. An autopsy showed he died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Tietsort dressed the baby in winter clothes, strapped him in a car seat and pretended he was alive while driving through McDonald's with her boyfriend, their son, and the victim's other son the complaint said. She later returned the baby to his mother, but allegedly didn't tell her anything was wrong. Tietsort told police she went swimming with her boyfriend later in the day.
The baby's mother told police she thought he was sleeping, police said. The mother soon discovered her baby wasn't breathing and called 911.
Police found Tietsort the next day at a hotel with her boyfriend. She was arrested on a child abuse charge for an unrelated case that happened in August. According to court documents, the father of an 11-month-old girl told police that he believed Tietsort injured his child while she was babysitting her. Tietsort allegedly said the girl fell from a couch.
Tietsort has been investigated for child abuse before and had a restraining order taken out against her by an ex-boyfriend in 2010, the newspaper reported. She is currently pregnant with her sixth child.

Beyond Ferguson: Pine Lawn's Much-Needed Reform Comes Via 'The People'
By Jamal Andress
Pine Lawn has been wrapped in scandal for the better part of a decade, with corrupt officials and a court system that preyed on the poor.
While the whole world watched Ferguson, Missouri, about 5 miles away, another North County city was in desperate need of the same scrutiny.
"We were the forgotten city. We were writing to our congressmen and other government officials and explaining to them how were living in the age of Jim Crow," Pine Lawn Alderwoman Roslyn Brown said.
Pine Lawn has been wrapped in scandal for the better part of a decade with corrupt officials and a court system that preyed on the poor. Fortunately for the city, one of its own residents was able to shake things up for the better.
To give you an idea of the corruption, in just the past year, the Pine Lawn mayor has been imprisoned for extortion, the Pine Lawn Police Department has been disbanded, the police lieutenant has been convicted on federal civil rights charges and the Missouri auditor says the city owes the state more than $400,000.
Pine Lawn residents have dealt with corrupt elected officials, greedy municipal courts and abusive police.
"We weren't watching out for the other criminals in the community — we knew who they are. We're all watching out for the police," Brown said.
The newly elected Alderwoman Roslyn Brown got a personal taste of the abusive city PD two years ago when she was arrested, dragged from her home and thrown in jail for "failing to comply."
"I'm issued 33 violations on that day, and my daughter as well as my neighbors are witnessing this. I'm improperly dressed — no clothes, no shoes. I still to this day, and this happened in 2014, don't know what I failed to comply to," Brown said of the 2014 incident.
Pine Lawn also had the same system of frequent arrests and high fines that the DOJ nailed the Ferguson municipal court for in the department's 2015 report.
The city of Pine Lawn, which only has about 3,200 people, was bringing in more than $2.4 million from court fines alone. For comparison, nearby Hazelwood, Missouri, has more than eight times the population of Pine Lawn and collects less from the courts.
But it was this group of experiences that helped Alderwoman Brown bring the people of Pine Lawn some real change. After endlessly writing to legislators, Brown managed to get a 30-page report to the FBI that outlined the problems in Pine Lawn.
"And so they kind of used the document that we provided for them as a guideline. And then they were able to, you know, bring the charges against these two who were really in charge of orchestrating notorious acts against citizens in this community," Brown said.
Pine Lawn's former mayor is currently serving a 33-month sentence, and the former police lieutenant is waiting to be sentenced. As an encore, Brown and the group she helped form, the Pine Lawn Coalition, now hold a majority on the city's Board of Aldermen.
"The people we brought in were like, 'I don't want to be a politician,' so I had to come up with a new name for it. I said, 'Well, let's be the next decision-makers in Pine Lawn.' Our chant was, 'We are the people; we have the power,' and now we do have the power," Brown said.

For most of my life I played sports and maintained a decent level of fitness. It wasn't until I moved across the country that my weight went downhill. I gained extreme amounts of fat – so much that I would never even take my shirt off for bed, or around people I wasn't comfortable with. At my worst I was upwards of 250lbs at only 5ft 6. I struggled for a long time with hating the way I looked. I tried countless amounts of fad diets (Weight Watchers, Atkins, etc…) and would occasionally lose some weight, but could never keep it off. It wasn't long before others began to notice my struggle, too.
When I was a sophomore, my football coach pulled me aside and said, "you have a future in this program, and I would like you to wrestle to get rid of some of the excess fat, so that we can put you in the position you belong in." This suggestion changed me for the better – I owe a lot of my success to him.
At first, I was resistant to his plan – I was lazy and didn't want to do anything other than football. Nevertheless, I asked my wrestling coach for a diet plan to help me lose some weight, on top of the workouts. He was great at making me feel accountable to stay with the program. Three months later, when the wrestling season came to an end, I weighed 205 lbs.
Although I was pleased with losing 45lbs, I hadn't put on muscle, and still wasn't satisfied. I began to search for a gym with the tools to advance my fitness, and came across the Zoo. The atmosphere and amazing staff had me coming back every day. As I progressed, members began asking me how I had maintained muscle while simultaneously burning fat. The encouragement from everyone, including the owner, John, kept me motivated. The great selection of equipment at the Zoo was also a huge factor in my journey.
I now have 10% body fat and have lost a total of 83 lbs, which is far more than I ever expected to see myself achieve. Thank you John, and your gym, for making my results possible.
Nora has been a Zoo Member since March 2013 and has gone from 400lbs to 196lbs — a total loss of over 200lbs! She puts her motivation down to her husband and her 2 beautiful kids. Nora participates regularly in spin classes and has achieved so much in such a short period of time here.
Jill joined in March 2013 and has been an inspiration to everyone here at The Zoo Health Club – Simsbury, CT ever since! She has lost 85lbs so far and has developed from a novice runner, into a marathon runner!! She has recently completed 5k's,10'ks, the Hapalua Hawaii's Half Marathon and even the Disney's Tower of Terror 10 miler!
Beth and Ed know what it means to push themselves to the limit, and are constantly setting new goals and demolishing them. In only a year and a half, the two of them have completely transformed. You'll find them in the gym on a daily basis – lifting weights in circuits that they set up together, doing interval training, or sweating it out in Beth's spin classes. They are both active members of our Zoo Community – participating in all of our team building events, and often placing in the top tier at obstacle course races.

Q: How to enforce creation of singletons by a Kotlin interface I would like to create an interface that enforces each implementation of it to be a singleton:
interface MyInterface {
    val myValue: Int
}

object MySingleton: MyInterface {
    override val myValue: String = "My value"
}

However, with the above interface I can also create a class as follows:
class NotMySingleton: MyInterface {
    override val myValue: String = "My value"
}

How would I go about enforcing such a rule within MyInterface?

Located on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, this tiny beachside town is a gem! I had the fortunate opportunity to back-pack in Costa Rica in 2010 and Santa Teresa still ranks as one of my favorite places. From the friendly locals, to the delicious coffee and the awesome white beaches – it is an ocean and nature-lover's paradise. My trip pre-dated my introduction to stand-up paddleboarding, but I did get a chance to try out some surfing while I was there and it was fantastic.
San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua is located on a perfect half-moon shaped bay that is becoming an increasingly popular SUP and surfing spot. Despite its popularity, it has managed to keep its charm and casual feel. Nicaragua is also known for being much more affordable than other destinations in neighboring countries like Costa Rica. A good friend of mine travels to San Juan Del Sur every year to go to for a women's surf retreat through, ChicaBrava. She highly recommends it!

Three years after Grenfell, accurate data on fires involving combustible exterior wall assemblies is still difficult to obtain. What does that mean for the global safety community, and for the people who live and work in thousands of potentially unsafe buildings worldwide?
BY BIRGITTE MESSERSCHMIDT
Read the 2014 Fire Protection Research Foundation report on combustible exterior wall assemblies
Explore the NFPA resources on understanding and managing the fire hazards of exterior walls containing combustible components
Fires involving the façades of high-rise buildings have been covered by the global media for years. In many of these incidents, spectacular fires have spread up the exteriors of buildings at high speed, engulfing the structures in a matter of minutes. Most of these fires produced few if any fatalities, and as a result much of the world failed to realize the hazard presented by combustible exterior wall assemblies.
That changed on the night of June 14, 2017, when a fire at the Grenfell Tower, a residential apartment building in London, destroyed the structure and claimed the lives of 72 people. The fire began in a fourth-floor apartment, traveled outside through a window, and ignited the combustible panels and insulation that covered the building's exterior walls. The flames travelled almost all the way around the building exterior, spreading the fire to the inside of the building and shortcutting all interior fire compartmentation, trapping scores of residents. The first phase of the official investigation confirmed that a majority of the flame spread was due to the combustible exterior wall assemblies that were added to the building during a deep renovation a few years earlier.
Fires that spread on the outside of buildings, feeding off combustible exterior wall assemblies, used to be very rare. Over the last 30 years, however, the number of these fires has increased dramatically. According to research done at Imperial College in London, the frequency of façade fires in large buildings has increased by seven times in the last three decades. Other researchers have identified 59 fires involving external walls on high-rise buildings between 1990 and 2018, with 36 of these occurring since 2010.
A surprising fact is that the only way researchers know about the increase in these types of fires is from the media—even after events like Grenfell, there is still no coordinated global effort to collect data on these or any other fire incidents. A report published in 2014 by the Fire Protection Research Foundation on the fire hazards of combustible exterior wall assemblies provided a number of insights into the potential dangers of these systems, including extensive flame spread and significant property loss. But even the warnings offered by such a comprehensive review were not enough to inspire policy makers into action.
One result of this inertia is that we do not have detailed data about these fires: the types of exterior assemblies that were used, what kind of fire testing (if any) those assemblies had been subjected to, how the fires started and spread, the types of safety regulations that may have been in place, and more. Without that level of detail, we are unable to make a convincing case for jurisdictions to institute new or more stringent testing methods, or to help create regulations that would lead to unsafe products being removed from the market. Relying on media reports also prevents us from gathering data on the small fires that do not develop into large disasters due to fire safety provisions working as they were intended. The information we are getting is skewed towards disaster and provides few lessons about what works compared to what doesn't.
If we hope to properly address this significant global threat, this needs to change, and soon. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), there are presently 719 buildings taller than 150 meters, or 492 feet, under construction around the world, some of which will most likely include combustible exterior walls. This number will only increase, as rapid urbanization worldwide will see seven out of 10 people living in cities by 2050, according to the World Bank.
THE RISE OF FACADE SYSTEMS
Less than a year before the Grenfell Tower fire, NFPA Journal published an article that contained a foreboding and sadly prescient statement about the threat posed by combustible exterior wall assemblies. In his "International" column for the magazine, Donald Bliss, then the NFPA vice president of Field Operations, wrote that "in every country I've visited for NFPA, fire protection professionals are discussing fires involving improperly tested exterior façade assemblies on high-rise buildings. They agree that there is no easy solution to correct this unsafe condition in hundreds, if not thousands, of existing high-rise buildings worldwide." Bliss went on to say that these fire professionals "also agree that, while it is fortunate that no loss of life has occurred in these fires, it is only a matter of time before an exterior façade fire extends into a building, trapping occupants and firefighters."
The concern voiced by Bliss and other fire professionals around the world—and the primary reason for the increase in high-rise façade fires—was the introduction of combustible materials into these façade systems. The energy crisis of the 1970s sparked a demand for insulation of buildings to save energy used for heating, and the desire for energy-efficient buildings has increased ever since. One outcome of these efforts is that the thermal performance of exterior walls has improved significantly over the past 50 years. But with the introduction of combustible materials into those exterior assemblies, that performance boost has come at a cost.

There are several ways to make an insulated exterior wall. The most frequently used systems include external insulating façade systems and external insulating composite systems—both of which consist of a layer of insulation, a reinforced mesh layer, and a thin coating of exterior material—as well as the ventilated façade system, where an air gap of at least 1 inch between the insulation and the covering panels allows moisture to escape. The insulation used in these systems can be combustible (such as polystyrene or polyurethane) or noncombustible (such as mineral wool or foam glass)—but the price, weight, and thermal performance makes combustible insulation the preferred option in most applications. This choice comes with the inherent challenge of ensuring that it does not become involved in a fire. The covering used in ventilated façades also comes in many versions, from inert natural stone to metal composite panels with combustible cores—again, spanning a vast range of potential risk in the event of fire. The ease with which these systems ignite and spread fire depends on the combustibility of the materials used and how the system is designed to limit ignition and fire spread, such as through the use of fire breaks and other protective measures.
An important aspect that is often overlooked is the quality of the installation of these systems. When using combustible materials, it is critical to ensure that they are protected from ignition and that added protective measures such as fire stopping and barriers are installed correctly. Many installers are often unaware of how minor details can have major impacts on the performance of finished systems when exposed to fire. A highly skilled workforce is essential if we hope to ensure the safety of these complex façade systems.
BUILDING REGULATIONS AND TEST METHODS
In an effort to prevent external fire spread, most building codes and regulations incorporate requirements addressing the fire performance of exterior walls. Controlling external fire spread is done through requirements applied to the facade systems. While the safety objectives of these requirements are similar from country to country, the manner in which they're carried out can be very different. As with all fire requirements around the world, those related to exterior façades are based on national experience—for example, if a catastrophic fire with external fire spread has occurred—as well as local building tradition.
One approach used in many countries is to apply combustibility and/or flammability requirements to each material used in the façade system—the rationale being that by controlling the performance of each component, the combined system should reflect an appropriate (and appropriately safe) function. The requirements are linked to the perceived hazard for the building and are dependent on the height of the building and its occupancy. A typical example is to require the use of only noncombustible materials if the building exceeds a certain height, which can range from 12 to 50 meters, or 39 to 164 feet, depending on the country.
Another approach is to require testing of the entire façade system, often in a large-scale test to replicate the perceived real behavior of the system. Some countries have chosen to include large-scale testing of façade systems in their requirements, while others have opted to use large-scale façade testing in addition to testing of individual components.
The effort is commendable, but it actually raises an important issue: while these countries are all trying to mitigate the same hazard, there are almost as many tests as there are countries with testing requirements. The 2014 FPRF report, for example, mentions no fewer than 15 variations of these tests from various countries. In addition, similar protocols have also been developed by the International Standards Organization. As with general fire requirements, the various tests that have been developed to assess combustible exterior façades are largely based on local experience and often replicate a scenario seen in a catastrophic fire that occurred in the country. As a result, key differences can exist in the tests, including heat exposure, testing geometry, and criteria for passing the test. The same exterior wall system might get very different results in different tests, one deeming it safe and another unsuitable for its intended purpose. Fire, however, does not recognize geopolitical borders and behaves the same way everywhere. Yet, worldwide, our testing contains no consistent scientific basis that could help eliminate these critical safety differences from country to country.
Some countries allow the use of performance-based design, an engineering approach to fire protection that is based on fire safety goals and objectives, analyses of fire scenarios, and the quantitative assessment of design solutions. This methodology is an incredible tool that allows fire protection engineers to solve complex problems like exterior façade safety—but it requires an expert-level understanding of the systems being analyzed. Unfortunately, the lack of understanding of how different materials interact within combustible exterior wall assemblies during fire makes it difficult for professionals to become experts on this topic.
As a result, in some countries the designs related to combustible exterior wall assemblies apply two assumptions: that façade components will behave similarly in any scenario, and that there is a rule allowing for interpolation or extrapolation between tested façade systems. Research shows that these two assumptions are incorrect. Since a minor change in the material, geometry, or assembly of a façade system can drastically impact its combustibility, it is dangerous to assume that these variations can be used interchangeably in building design without further research.
WHERE IS THE DATA?
These are the kinds of problems that can be traced directly to the absence of accurate data—without it, we can understand neither the true scope of the problem nor the details necessary to create consistent testing requirements and building regulations. That void also results in an ongoing struggle to help policy makers understand the critical link between energy-efficient buildings and fire safety. I once encountered a politician who said to me apologetically that until there were "bodies on the table," exterior façade safety was simply not an issue that would receive political attention.
So how do we improve our data gathering, and how do we leverage it for maximum effect? The short answer is that it isn't easy. Even in the US, where I would argue we have the most comprehensive fire data collection anywhere in the world, we cannot obtain the kind of granular data needed to help us better understand this problem. The fire incident data in the US is collected through the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). After a fire incident, NFIRS can be used to record data about the item first ignited, the performance of the automatic sprinkler system, and other critical pieces of information. Since NFIRS uses a limited number of choices within each data element, it provides minimal information about complex fire problems such as those discussed here.
A similar shortage of data exists internationally. Researchers from different countries have indicated that incident reports often provide limited information about the type of façade system, the components used in the assembly, and the development of the fire. Another limitation of international data is that different metrics are often recorded by different countries. If data collection is inconsistent between nations, it is impossible to compare the frequency of incidents without a high level of uncertainty.
At an international conference on fire safety of façades in Paris last year, someone asked if we knew whether the façade systems involved in the fires we see around the world had fulfilled local requirements, or if they had passed locally mandated large-scale testing. Sadly, the answer to each question was no. With no consistent way of collecting incident data, it is impossible for us to quantify how different requirements around the world impact the level of risk. With few exceptions, we continue to validate unknown quantities of different building materials with various test methods and often install them with an undertrained workforce bound by minimal regulations. The progression of these practices is seemingly bottlenecked by a lack of knowledge and fire incident data to validate or disprove hypotheses.
It is important to recognize that there is an opportunity to learn from failures, and even successes, and develop strategies based on real-world fire incidents. The education of stakeholders, growth from previous failures, and quantification of this global issue demand much more data than are currently available today. As a champion of building safety, we recognize a need to address this issue, and we look forward to discussing it in an array of upcoming public forums. I have no doubt that we possess the ability to devise new ways to collect and share this information. Until we do, we will continue to try to solve a set of problems we can barely identify.

Our guess is that the Pulsar 180 new model will be launched alongside the all-new Pulsar 150, which means that the highly anticipated bike could go on sale next month.
While the official price of new model Bajaj Pulsar 180 will be announced only at the time of its launch, our guess is that it would command a slight premium over the existing bike and could have an on road price of around INR 82,000.
Both the upcoming street fighters from Bajaj will boast of all-new engines. It is expected that the upcoming Pulsar 180 model will have a maximum power of 17.8 bhp, which would mean that it would be sufficiently potent to go head to head with the TVS Apache RTR180.
Expect the bike to have a true top speed of roughly 120 km/h.
Akin to the 200NS, the new Pulsar 180 should score highly on both performance and fuel mileage fronts. We believe that the upcoming bike could have a real world fuel economy of as much as 40-42 km/l.
Stay tuned to ContentWorld for more on the Bajaj Pulsar 180 new model 2015.


Sees the Light is the second solo album from La Sera a.k.a. Katy Goodman of the all female psychedelic-punk-surf group, the Vivian Girls. Goodman brings her sweet, soft-spoken vocals to a variety of genres on the album, never quite settling on just one.
While musically the second song, Please Be My Third Eye, is solid, the song as a whole is worth skipping over. It sounds like a garage band with a little sister who desperately wanted to be part of the group, but didn't quite get it (which is unfortunate since it's a solo album and should make the singer the focus of each song).
That said, Goodman quickly redeems herself with I Can't Keep You in My Mind, and continues strong through the rest of the album. Some of the songs retain that garage-band feel, while others are musically more sophisticated. But all work much better with Goodman's voice than the unfortunate aforementioned tune.
The album seems to centre around the theme of breaking up, but focuses more on moving on than moping. As such it's a great mood setter for those going through the end of a relationship.
There are definite influences of 60's girl groups like the Shangri-La's, which seem to have carried over from Goodman's role in Vivian Girls, but there are also hints of something more in line with the current female vocalist trends attributable to acts like Feist and Emily Haines. That said, I've yet to find a current voice similar enough to Goodman's that it threatens to drown her subdued stylings out completely.
While Goodman's voice remains similar throughout all of her contributions to the world of music thus far – never fully revealing what she would sound like full-blown – this second album definitely has more personality and flair than the first La Sera release.
With Sees the Light, the singer shows her potential to become a standout in the industry. If she continues to experiment and refine her style, Goodman could definitely develop a solid fan-base for La Sera.


3x ETC SR48 Racks - Backplan for CEM+ Processors (Processors pop up on Ebay regularly, or ETC sells backplanes for CEM3 I believe), buss kits to connect all three racks.
CEM+ processors were fried due to a busted water pipe, one of the racks needs a new fan (sounds like it has a gummed up bearing). All of the D20 modules test good, but longevity cannot be guaranteed (I kept a couple cases as spares for our new system).
Make on offer on some of it, or all of it. Might scrap this all out if there is not interest, the copper alone is pretty substantial.

Anglicans in Brazil protest the loss of indigenous lands
Tammie Vanoss
The Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil (IEAB – Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil) is joining other churches in a coordinated effort to fight for the rights of indigenous peoples in Brazil against the colossus of big agribusiness. Brazil's Indigenous Council reports that the strategic removal of indigenous families from their homes has caused the murders of nearly 400 Guarani-Kaiowá and Terena people and contributed to over 500 suicides in the past 12 years.
"On 14 June this year, near the village of the Guarani-Kaiowá in the municipality of Caarapo, indigenous community health worker Achilles Clodiodi Rodrigues de Souza, 23, was shot dead and another five Guarani were treated for severe gunshot wounds," the IEAB said in a statement. "Residents in the area reported seeing men in trucks, tractors and motorcycles shooting from all sides.
"After the incident, a large group of indigenous people dispersed and occupied land in order to protect themselves. This generated conflict with the owners of those lands.
"Clodiodi was buried at the site of the attack and his grave has become a symbol of the struggle of the Guarani-Kaiowá and Terena people to regain their land."
Members of the IEAB have joined Christians from other churches in a public demonstration outside the Mato Grosso do Sul state parliament to express their support of indigenous people and a plea for an end to the violence.
Since the protest, the state's attorney general met with church leaders and indigenous representatives of the indigenous communities.
The Anglican mission agency, USPG, is supporting the IEAG and is providing funds to train community activists. "We are standing shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Brazil," USPG said. "Please join us praying for an injustice in Brazil that viewers of the Olympic Games are not seeing."

Dropped: Mother Of Mine [My Prettiest Daughter In The World]
Every so often, a family drama comes along that feels worthy of the 50+ episode investment.
To be honest, for a solid 20+ hours, I sincerely thought that Mother Of Mine was one of those. For a while, I found myself slurping up an episode or three, or four, each day, to the point where I was legit afraid to run out of new episodes. That's quite something, isn't it?
Unfortunately for me, at around the episode 53 mark (this show does half-hour episodes instead of hour-long ones), Show started feeling less fun and less charming to watch. Also unfortunately for me, this really doesn't seem to be a self-correcting trend.
68 episodes in, I'm finally deciding to call it quits with this one.
THE FUNNER EARLIER STRETCH
1. The hidden chaebol arc
No lie; the hidden chaebol arc was my favorite, in Show's early stretch.
I thought Hong Jong Hyun was charming as the cheerful hidden chaebol prince earnestly wanting to do well at work while staying incognito. I also found Kim So Yeon well cast as his supervisor-cum-love interest, with her hard and prickly outer shell belying the vulnerable fragility she harbored on the inside. And I really liked the idea of the warm charming prince disarming and melting his ice princess supervisor, in spite of herself.
Granted, the chemistry between Hong Jong Hyun and Kim So Yeon isn't really the best, but this OTP does have its moments, and I lapped those up eagerly. I knew in my head that this was working better in concept than in execution, but I enjoyed this storyline enough, to be willing to embrace its shortcomings.
2. Mom and her daughters
Kim Hae Sook is one of my favorite moms in Dramaland, having played so many mom roles in so many of my formative kdramas, that my mom and I refer to her as Everyone's Mom, heh.
It'd been a long minute since I'd last had Kim Hae Sook on my screen, and I welcomed the chance to see her in a warm family story, with her loving on her screen daughters.
This really was one of Show's highlights for me; even though Mom bickered with her daughters endlessly, there was always so much warmth and love behind it all, that even if there were sometimes tears and shouty angry words, the warmth and love always shone through and won out, in the end. <3
3. The thing with CEO Mom [MINOR SPOILERS]
Very quickly into our story, we find out that second daughter Mi Ri (Kim So Yeon), besides meeting a hidden chaebol prince at work, also gets plonked in a situation where the birth mother who'd abandoned her when she was 6 years old, is now her new CEO. Gasp! Not only that, we find out that CEO Mom (Choi Myung Gil) now has a mother-son-esque relationship with hidden chaebol prince Tae Joo (Hong Jong Hyun). Double gasp!!
I could immediately see a great deal of potential drama excitement in this, and, at least in Show's first half, I found that I actually rather enjoyed the melodramatic flair that this narrative arc gave the show. I also loved that in any eventual confrontation with CEO Mom, that even in the midst of heartbreak and tears, Mi Ri was staggeringly sharp and eloquent in telling it as it is. Yess.
4. Harmless annoyances that I found mildly entertaining
As with every other family drama out there, Show has a fair number of characters who are designed to be annoying but who are generally harmless, for the most part.
In this show, we have the entitled mom-in-law, the annoying husband who refuses to grow up, and a somewhat tantrum-prone maknae daughter filling Show's quota for harmlessly annoying characters. I found it exasperating yet entertaining to watch these characters and their antics, and as I'd expected, where I'm leaving off Show at episode 68, these characters have all begun their reformative arcs, to varying degrees.
THE MUCH LESS FUN LATER STRETCH
Unfortunately, at around the episode 53 mark, Show starts to get more and more melodramatic in its general tone and vibe, with less and less of its signature family warmth to balance it all out.
Additionally, while I wouldn't say Show's earlier stretch was exactly perfectly written, the writing in Show's later stretch felt noticeably less organic to my eyes as well. There were logic stretches lurking in just about every corner, and I found them harder and harder to overlook.
[MINOR SPOILER] One thing that niggled at me for episodes on end, is how Tae Joo, who's supposed to be so caring and so in love with Mi Ri, is so weirdly oblivious to her general unhappiness, even as she does a weak and far from successful job of putting up a happy front when she's with him. This did not feel at all organic to Tae Joo's character, I felt.
And this isn't even getting into stuff like Chairman Dad (Myung Kye Nam) making a sudden about-face, from strongly opposing Tae Joo's relationship with Mi Ri, to vehemently insisting that he wanted her as his daughter-in-law; this, all because his business associate casually suggested that he was being shortsighted. Really, Show? [END SPOILER]
Show's melodramatic touch getting heavier and heavier by the episode, combined with all of the logic stretches, just made it a lot less fun to watch than at first.
The thing, though, is, I found that even though I so was not having a good time with each passing episode, I found myself stupidly checking back in, for the next episode, and then the next.
Sadly, the relationship between Mi Ri and Tae Joo, which had been a personal highlight in earlier episodes, had become really boring, and Mi Ri continuously keeping her real feelings and her real concerns from Tae Joo, and just smiling and being sweet to him, was making me feel less and less for their relationship. At the same time, all of the melodrama around them was being amped up to the level of More Makjang Than I Signed Up For. That.. didn't help.
I found that I'd also lost interest in most of the other characters, and the arc I found myself perking up for the most, was weirdly, the loveline between maknae daughter Mi Hye and Chief Editor Kim Woo Jin (Kim Ha Kyung and Ki Tae Young). Which, really, isn't saying a lot, coz I felt mild interest in their loveline, at best. I liked the concept, but again, the execution just didn't land that well, for me. I found it too exaggerated and cutesy as a general rule, though I did very much enjoy the following highlight, in episode 64.
[SPOILER] I was cringing through Mi Hye's blunder with the rice cake skewer, with her wiping the sauce off his face with her finger and then sucking on said finger, before she even realized it, but Chief Editor's response was gold. His expression of shock after she'd scuttled away, was mixed with what looked like an almost ravenous desire to go grab her and kiss her senseless, and then his single utterance, "I'm doomed," was so great. That made all the cringing worth it, ha. [END SPOILER]
I realized that the deeper I got into Show's episodes, the more my head said it was time to drop this one, even though my heart was willing to keep tuning back in, out of an illogical affection for the characters. The thing is, I don't think Future Me would've approved much at all, so I'm going with my head on this one, in hopes of getting on Future Me's good side, heh.
I'll still think of Show's first half fondly, though.
The series is available on YouTube on KBS World TV's channel, subbed and in HD.
If you'd like to watch the funner first half, or if you'd like to just see Mi Ri and Tae Joo's meet-cute where she literally takes the shirt off his back, here's episode 1 for your easy viewing pleasure.
PS: If you just want to check out the meet-cute, you can start watching from the 18:15 mark. You're welcome. 😉

I somewhat managed to finish this ( skip many scenes) but i am happy to finish the show and satisfied in it's ending.
Mi ri and Tae-joo's love story- I agree with you that their love story is good in concept but lacking in execution. Their chemistry is off. I don't feel the physical tension and I find their sweetness awkward at sometimes. And when they were preparing and on the day of their wedding I don't see why Tae- joo don't see that something was bothering Mi ri, you can see it and feel it in her deamenor.
But I really enjoy them as married couple -Love how they love and support each other. I also like how the show manage to solve the issue when Tae-joo learn that Mi ri was the daughter of her mother( the one who raised him). He reflect and took time to fully comprehend their dilema. I also like that Tae-joo choose to reveal to Mi ri that her mother was sick. You kinda feel that Tae-joo really understand her. That he knows how much she value and love her mother and it was right for her to know the situation even though it was not best for her physically and emotionally because of her preganncy.
Mi-ri as a person and daughter – she was my fav character in the show. I love how excellent she is in her job and way she carried herself, always oozzing with confidence. Love the way she speaks, she is tough but respectful whether to her staffs, store representatives, executives or chairman.
She is the most understanding, loving, sweet and sensitive daughter to her mother ( the one who raise her). Love the scene that after she have bonding to her biological mom she also go to her mom ( the one who raise her) and bond with her.
Mi-seon and Min-hye as daughters – I find them disrespectful at times. Kinda spoiled brat. The way they talks back to their mother was really painful to digest.
Mi-seon's life – I find her struggle as a working mom realistic and relateable. I feel and root for her to find solution to her predicament and for her to be at peace on her decision on whether to continue working or fully devote her time to her daughter. I feel sorry for her that she have childish and selfish husband and annoying mother in law ( in the beggining of the show). I also feel sorry for her daughter that she always witness how her parents argue almost everyday because of their struggle as working parents.
Min-hye – kinda skip almost all of her scene. I find her immature until the very end of the show and I am not sold in her love story. I thought somehow she will ends up to Jae-beom. That she will finally open her eyes and finally see Jae-boom's devotion to her and Jae-boom was the one for her.
Mi ri's staffs – I can't stand them in the beginning of the show but I appreciate them in the later part of the show. Love their loyalty, respect and care for her.
Mi ri's relationship with her biological mom. I appreciate that the show manage to show the other side of her mom. I really want to kill her mom in the beggining of the series (hooo hoo hooo). Love that they reconcile and heal their wounds in the end of the show.
The 3 daughter's relationship. I love them as siblings. You can really feel throughout the series their understanding and love at each other. I overcome the heartbreaking finale because of how they manage to show their support at each other.
The 3 daughter's mother, wow the love and devotion she shows to her children until the very last day of her life. I feel sorry for her most of the time maybe because the show mostly focus on her struggles and the show's theme for her life is based on the poem that "I Thought it was Okay for Mother to do that". Like her wish, I also wish that she was able to live for at least another 3 years for her to be able to see how Mi ri heals her wounded heart, to see that Mi ri is safe now to her in laws and living a happy life with her husband and child. I wish she was able to see that Mi-seon go backs to work and have an improve marriage life and that Min-hye was right in choosing her husband.
The satisfying on finishing this series was that they were able to show to the viewers that it unfolds to Mi ri's eyes that eventhough she was abandon she was also blessed because she ends up to a loving mom and sisters who accepts her wholeheartedly and love her tenderly and not end up to her biological mom's mess family. It also goes to her adoptive mom, that she was also blessed because Mi ri came to her life. She becomes her source of pride and joy and a source of warm and sweetness for her heart.
Wow, thanks for summing up everything so that people who dropped it – like me – can learn about what happened in the end. That makes our hours invested feel less futile, somehow.. I think it's coz it gives a bit of closure, at least! 😅 Glad you found the long watch worthwhile, and that your trusty fast-forward button served you well! 😉

Hey so have been watching and thrs one question on this series thts bugging me like hell… So tae joo's father and Mrs Jeon have mistress kinda relationship??? Was that guy with her after wife's death???and why did mrs Jeon abondon Miri?
Widya August 7, 2019 at 2:28 pm
Oh hi -five, kfangurl!!! I dropped this one waaaay earlier than you, so I think I should bow to you in respect for being able to manage your composure until epi 68 hahaha….
Agree with you on Taeju geting farther and farther away from his initial character. I was also annoyed at how Mi Ri was being made to sacrifice herself more and more as the episode goes. Well, practically I agree on everything you said here. Except for Mihye-Woojin pairing. I adore them from the very beginning, probably because I am such a lousy sucker for cold guy hahaha… (oh, and I also want to give Mihye a chance to retaliate with that lousy ex of her hihihi)
Now, I am off for some hardcore sageuk. Haechi and Nokdu is on top of my list right now. Ciao!!!

Even though you dropped it, this is still a nice and generous review. I always love how you can find and squeeze moments, scenes, and characters, etc to appreciate in your reviews.
I caved in a few times and watched some family shows, (meaning 50 + ep, daily dramas) but they tend to flounder mid-way and some of the characters are over-the-top makjang or screechy which kills the enjoyment. (Usually the Mother-in-laws) I'm so out of the kdrama loop now though. But this summer has been absolutely crazy. (Not all in a good way. 🙁 ) I can barely squeeze time to watch. So I hope to catch up A LOT come the fall and winter.
MC August 6, 2019 at 11:30 pm
I was really tempted to start this but the sheer number of episodes kind of scared me off. Seems like I made the right choice, haha. To me, the key to a good show is good, realistic writing — too melodrama and makjang shows that are unrealistic just kill the mood and takes me out of the show which just defeats the point of watching in the first place (at least that's for me). Even if the show is a fantasy, if the characters are true to how they are characterised and it is written in a logical way then I'm good with it. So thanks for the drooped post! Saved me many drama watching hours 😅
Vekster August 6, 2019 at 6:21 pm
Another dropped show? Seems like a lot of time invested. The episode count rivals ton of anime. I did watch a couple of episodes of Witch's Romance as you recommended. I like it so far. I'm not taking it serious and just going with it. It's fun. She plays a good tsundere. of course the other side of the OTP was good in Secretary Kim so being a dude, I didn't watch this show for him. Just saying. I'm watching Hotel Del Luna (should be de la luna but then again who fact checks anymore). IU is amazing (first time watching her and avoiding her Scarlet Heart Ryeo), Hong sisters on point (liked Master's Sun, first Kdrama). Hope it has a good ending.
Hi there, if you like IU, please please watch My Mister (Eng) / My Ajusshi. She's incredible in it. Everyone is incredible in it. It's just an amazing show. I'm also highly biased because it's my top Korean drama and top few TV shows of my life haha, but the point I wanted to make is that she does a fantastic job in it. Totally not like her cutesy singing persona.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm still kinda new to kdrama as I crossed over from anime. New Fruits Basket adaption is quite good and would be a weird kdrama. Heard of My Mister and has been in my queue like so many others. Hotel Del Luna is reminding me of American Horror Story meets Picture of Dorian Gray.

Long family dramas can be a bit of a gamble, as you never know how they will eventually turn out. The chance of them going full on makjang crazy is always there. Which is why I seldom check out framily dramas these days. Bad makjang allergy, you see. 😉

I stopped on episode 30 about two weeks ago and haven't gone back to it. Which generally means I will drop it (I dropped two other dramas last week). I know many who have commented they ffwd like crazy 😜
I think this is Kim Hae Sook's best role in a long time, and she has played some good ones along the way.
As for Hong Jong Hyun he is okay in MoM and I have found him far more likeable in this than some of his other, more recent, efforts. Kim So Yeon is very good and I can see, with the right material, a real force to be reckoned with.
As for the other useless men in this drama, boy oh boy, I wont say any more other than, except I do like the eldest daughter's father in law (who I spotted in Hotelier today, back from 2001). The mother in law is not bad or evil, she's just a bag (as we say over here). Now that we have banned plastic bags from shopping centres in my neck of the woods I have lost the perfect opportunity to respond to the check out person when out shopping with my wife. The question would always be "would you like a bag for your shopping?" My response would always be "no, I have one right here." The response would then get me quite a swift punch in the arm each time and a "just ignore him, he's also going to get a smack for his troubles." 😂
There are certainly much better shows of the same length or longer on at the moment. I have also watched a number of other shorter format shows of late that are far better than expected and perhaps one or two more that might get the D treatment 😊
Sean, the bag joke reminds me of Abbott and Costello show, in a Supermarket skit, Costello picks up a crumpled paper bag and tries to straighten it out, etc. then says in an uncharacteristic mean voice – "Get a load of the old BAG" Which promptly earns him a slap from a middle age (spinsterish looking 50's woman) standing nearby. I crack up every single time.
Hello Lady G, I enjoyed Abbott and Costello very much. Even Tarantino is influenced by them and has woven their concepts and sayings into key plot and character moments in his films. Of course I have made sure my children are familiar with their skits (especially Who's On First), given some of the stuff they watch that passes for comedy these days.
Lady G. August 10, 2019 at 11:39 pm
I can understand. My father raised us on the old comedies, especially Abbott and Costello, Little Rascals, Three Stooges, classic films etc. We loved Shirley Temple, to this day know most of the songs by heart. lol. Who's on First? is such a classic. a Brilliant sketch!

I would NEVER…Just Ask Me!
I would NEVER ……just ask me!
Yep, I thought I knew it all. Had all the answers.
You've probably heard people say that phrase… I was one of those women who would say things like…"If I were that kid's mom, I would never let him throw a fit like that in front of people in a grocery store." Then I had a two year old. And we went to a grocery store.
Or "No teenager of mine would be living in my house if he did___________!" Then I had two teenagers that continued to live in my house.
How easy is it to say what we would do in situations in which we have no idea what we would really do! It always made me feel better about myself when I could point out the failures in "parenting" as I came upon these situations.
I asked the Lord forgiveness for that attitude. And thankfully I was forgiven.
I think that the older you get, the less you realize that you know. Oh sure, experience, trials and troubles have brought a bit of wisdom, but I don't pretend like I know it all anymore. That is not a characteristic of confidence. The only thing I am confident is Christ in me.
We have the opportunity to help others that have gone through parenting situations that we might have gone through. And when parents are dealing with something that we ourselves have not dealt with, we have the opportunity to be supportive…not pass judgement. We need to encourage one another. Let the Christ in us encourage.
As for me, when I look at all the careers and jobs I have had over the years, being a parent was the toughest. It was one of the most important things I ever did to be sure…but it was also the hardest. The responsibility became overwhelming sometimes if I really thought about it. So I had to learn to give it to the Father. I had to truly trust Him with my children's lives.
I told someone last night that God loves our children more than we can even imagine.
We have to come to the point in our lives as parents when we realize that we simply do not have all the answers. We do the best we can. And we trust the One who created our children. We were loaned a gift, one that He created. Our job is to teach them in the ways of the Lord and love them unconditionally.
Truly love them unconditionally, and realize as parents that we really don't know it all.
Whether they throw a fit in the grocery store, or do something in which they should not be allowed to live in your house.

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our doctors offer a variety of adjustment techniques, designed to make each adjustment effective, gentle, and comfortable. Some are applied by hand; others require the use of specialized instruments. Since each patient is different, your chiropractor will discuss the best technique for your condition.
We teach all of our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be stressed or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients. We also offer a variety of adjunctive therapies that are beyond our chiropractic expertise.
The practice of evidence based medicine means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. By individual clinical expertise we mean the proficiency and judgment that individual clinicians acquire through clinical experience and clinical practice. Increased expertise is reflected in many ways, but especially in more effective and efficient diagnosis and in the more thoughtful identification and compassionate use of individual patients' predicaments, rights, and preferences in making clinical decisions about their care.
By best available external clinical evidence we mean clinically relevant research, often from the basic sciences of medicine, but especially from patient centered clinical research into the accuracy and precision of diagnostic tests (including the clinical examination), the power of prognostic markers, and the efficacy and safety of therapeutic, rehabilitative, and preventive regimens. External clinical evidence both invalidates previously accepted diagnostic tests and treatments and replaces them with new ones that are more powerful, more accurate, more efficacious, and safer."

Julie consulted me about her lower eyelid skin crepiness, hollows and loss of jawline. Coincidentally Julie works in a hospital I used to work at a decade ago. I felt that addressing her lower eyelids alone may lead to an unnatural hollowness as her mid facial descent had already reduced the volume in her mid face. We decided to do a face and Neck lift, platysmaplasty, neck line and and under chin liposuction and transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty with skin pinch excision. This was performed under local anaesthetic, here is her story.
Julie is barely 15 hours after a lot of procedures in these photos. Lower lid surgery always gives a 'basset hound' appearance to the lower lids especially in the first few days where post operative swelling makes the lower lids heavy. This will settle over 10-14 days. Her face is already a much more pleasing shape and her neck line is pleasing. Looking forward to see how this lovely lady progresses.
Here is Julie at a week out of surgery. The eyes whilst scary looking aren't sore at all. I always tell patients having lower eyelid surgery that the face and neck will be visibly recovered before the eyes, the latter usually take a full 2 weeks. Bruising is settling and swelling has reduced hugely. I have removed her stitches today and Julie will see a big difference in healing speed now the stitches are out. Another week and she should be good to go back to work and face the world!
Julie is back at a month and looks wonderful. So fresh and so pretty. Her long face has been revolumised in the mid face giving lovely support to her freshened lower eyelids. Her jowls have given way to a sweeping jawline and beautifully defined neckline on profile view. Her result should get even better as she continues to heal and the last of the lower lid swelling settles, but for week 4 she looks amazing!
At 3 months, Julie is completely healed from her surgery. Her result is spectacular. A fresher, defined and volumised face makes her looks years younger and absolutely beautiful.
So pleased for her, her face now fits her persona beautiful inside and out.
Here is Julie a year out from her surgery. Her result has improved with time as is often the case with four lid eyelid surgery and facelift. She looks just beautiful. Scars have healed inconspicuously and the ageing appearance that initially led her to me has been replaced by a volumised, proportionate beautifully youthful face. Julie has bee a pleasure to treat and I am sorry to see her go… until next time!

« ObamaCare Fail | More from "The Race Files" »
Dear Nancy: Why didn't you introduce immigration reform when you had majorities in the House?
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
Yes, the Democrats are into insulting our intelligence again. The strategy is to wake up the 2012 voters by scaring them that it's all the GOP's fault!
Rep Pelosi, the former Speaker, does not understand why the GOP will not bring up immigration. This is what she said:
""I think race has something to do with the fact that they're not bringing up an immigration bill," the California Democrat told reporters at her regular weekly press conference. "I've heard them say to the Irish, 'If it were just you, this would be easy.'"
Maybe someone should have asked Rep Pelosi a simple question: Why didn't you bring up an immigration reform bill in 2009-10?
Was race a factor in your decision NOT to bring up anything for a vote?
At some point, these "race card" Democrats need to be challenged with some direct questions.
The fact is that we had a Democrat President, Senate and House verbally committed to immigration reform BUT did nothing about it!
Lots of "si se puede" speeches but "NADA" (or nothing) as far as results are concerned.
