Camouflage Cosmetics: Make-up Techniques After Plastic Surgery
You have recently had plastic surgery or are considering undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure. Is there a way to camouflage the incision marks, bruising and swelling that often result from surgery in the days or weeks during your healing process? Yes there is. Dr. David Broadway, Denver, Colorado cosmetic surgeon, understands that the post-operative period can be difficult for his patients. The healing process after receiving any type of surgery can bring with it a period of being unhappy with the way you look as your body is recovering. Sometimes patients may experience a short period of depression as their bodies begin to heal, and they may find it difficult to see past the temporary side effects of their surgery. There is help .
3-Blog Lounge
Over on the Giants' side, Felipe Alou famously avoided the clubhouse altogether, preferring to communicate with players through coaches. Leyland is just a hoot in the Tigers' clubhouse. He spends a few minutes making the rounds each day, trying to connect with each individual player in a meaningful way. Speaking in what one Detroit writer called a "nicotine baritone," he'll needle a guy if he knows he can take it. He'll be more rah-rah with the sensitive types. But it's all in full view of the other players, and Leyland is just as active on team flights or buses. He works the room, brilliantly, and the players love him for it. As the Tigers celebrated their ALDS victory over the Yankees, Leyland had a couple of teary spells. He's a bit like Dick Vermeil that way, at times overwhelmed by the beauty of the game, its personalities, a team's arrival at full potential.
New Orleans repopulation slowing down, study says
The population recovery of the New Orleans region after Hurricane Katrina struck 29 months ago is slowing down for the first time since the disaster, a study released today suggests. While the six-parish area covered by the analysis is making economic strides, the apparent slowdown in repopulation could jeopardize any gains, said the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program and the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center. The report blames a shortage of skilled workers, affordable housing, public transportation and child care for the population trend. The report is based on the number of households receiving mail. From September to November, New Orleans households actively receiving mail increased by 1,061 - only 15 percent of the growth seen during the same period in 2006, the report says.
Kay Hymowitz: The child-man
You've already got one kid, with another on the way. For now, you're renting an apartment in your parents' two-family house, but you're saving up for a three-bedroom ranch house in the next town. Yup, you're an adult! Now meet the 21st-century you, also 26. You've finished college and work in a cubicle in a large Chicago financial-services firm. You live in an apartment with a few single guy friends. In your spare time, you play basketball with your buddies, download the latest indie songs from iTunes, have some fun with the Xbox 360, take a leisurely shower, massage some product into your hair and face – and then it's off to bars and parties, where you meet, and often bed, girls of widely varied hues and sizes. Wife? Kids? House? Are you kidding? .
Jude Law's 'Sleuth' pulling power
Not content with the challenge of roping the greatest living playwright into penning what would become his first film script in ten years, the ambitious Hollywood star also decided there was only one man who could step into Olivier's shoes - step forward Sir Michael Caine, 35-years wiser, two Oscars better off (Both for Best Actor in a Supporting Role - for 'Hannah and Her Sisters' in 1987 and 'The Quiet American' in 2002) and now a Knight of the Realm after being awarded a CBE by the Queen in 2000. Caine recalls: "We were at dinner one night and Jude said, 'I'm thinking of asking Harold Pinter to rewrite 'Sleuth' ' and I told him, 'Well I'd be interested, but I wouldn't be interested in redoing the one that we did, because I think we did a pretty damn good job of it back then.' "But Pinter completely rewrote it.
