Place Implant Wings Separate from Front Part of Implant on Jawline?

On one side of the jawline my implant wing crosses the bone and sticks out. My jawline is asymmetric and is higher on one side. On the higher side the wing sticks out. My doctor told me the implant wing can't be placed upward and inserted on line with the jawline because the shape of the implant doesnt allow it. The wings on the implant don't have the right angle to match my higher jawline. Is it possible to cut the wing loose from the implant and place it separately?

I have been seeing Dr. Jacob for around 2 years now. I am pretty choosy when it comes to physicians and I can't praise her highly enough. She will make suggestions in terms if what treatments will be helpful. For cosmetic concerns which are not covered by insurance the prices are clearly stated and she does not push products. Since I have been seeing her my skin has improved immeasurably.

Initially I went to her as I was concerned about some breakouts as well as I felt I had lost the "glow" I had because of some illness. She prescribed Renova which worked amazingly well as well as telling me about a moisturizer from the drugstore that finally stopped my incredibly sensitive skin from reacting. I also had the area under my eyes injected. She is so good at injecting fillers. It is natural appearing and doesn't hurt at all. This made such a difference and has been such a confidence boost.

It is also nice as we are similar age and she has had the treatments herself. Cannot recommend her highly enough. Her staff are very friendly and helpful and her office is very nice. Always runs on time too. I also like that although she sees plenty of cosmetic patients and she is very attractive, she looks like she actually works hard, is not wearing a ridiculous cocktail dress like some MDs in plastic surgery/dermatology.

No Results!! After Thread Lift Done in Dubai. At MIDAS TOUCH MEDSPA by Dr. Antonie Aboud - Dubai, AE

Sort by:
*Treatment results may vary

I did my "Thread Lift" in Dubai. At MIDAS TOUCH...

I did my "Thread Lift" in Dubai. At MIDAS TOUCH MEDSPA by Dr. Antonie Aboud. I was convinced by their Consultant that i need "Silhouette Soft" for my sagging cheeks jaw correction. The amount i paid was Dirhams 6000.
Their visiting doctor, Dr. Antoine Aboud did the lift at their clinic, but i saw NO results at all, after 6 threads insertion.. I was asked to wait for results for 2 weeks, and it is one month now, but there are no results of any kinds!

Thread lift is not effective! Do do it
And if you decide to do, go to better reputable centers. Not such small time Med Spas like this Midas Touch!! U will waste your money totally. I paid Dhs.6000 (usd.1500)

Thread Lift !!! Disappointing

Post 2 months of my thread lift (silhouette soft lift) done at Midas Touch Medspa, Dubai. By Dr. Antonie Aboud (a monthly visiting cosmetic surgeon at Midas Touch, from Jordan)
6 threads were inserted to correct neso folds and saggy jaw. No improvement shown at all. Not even 2% - it has been 2 months since the procedure

The doctor first told me wait for 2 weeks to see the difference., and now he is conveniently telling me "the results are there but ur not seeing them" {the before after pics have no improvement i wonder if he is actually looking at the same pics that i am looking at?(pls chk the attached pics for ur reference)

Yesterday i visited him again, after 2 months wait and asked what can be done? He aggressively said "pay more and get more threads"
And he was not interested in any further talk!

Before the procedure, i had asked them clearly that "will i really get results by this thread lift paying dhs.6000 (usd.1500)".. ?
and i was well assured by them that "THIS WILL BE IT" & Nothing more will be required for atleast next 2-3 years, since my jaw has very minor sag.
I trusted them.

Now, after the procedure they want me to pay additional dhs.8000 (for approx 6 more threads) to see the improvement

This is pure cheat.. And i will file a legal case against them for deliberately pulling me into an expensive procedure where they have got me stuck and i have no choice than to pay more and get the correction done.

Do not go to this doctor and this medspa.. They are big cheats in Dubai sitting in Mazaya Center on Shaikh Zayed Road!
Dr. Antonie Abboud

Got my Nose Job done by him for the tip & cartilage repair in Oct2013. The cartilage was repaired but the procedure has left my nose tip crooked towards left. (It was straight earlier!!) i was asked to wait to see the final results in approx 3-4 months. So i patiently waited, but it has been 9 months already n the nose top is still bent on left side! Then I did my Tummy tuck in March2014 with him. My scar healed well n initially my stomach looked straight (even with all the swelling n bruising) but now after 4 months its looking like there is a water mellon in there! Its round n hard mostly. Before Tt, i had flat stomach. My reason of TT was to get rid of loose skin and loose muscles after my children's births. So I was again asked to wait to see the final results of TT. So i waited and have been waiting since 4 months! My third procedure with him was Silhouette Soft Thread Lift and it gave zero results! They inserted 6 threads (thats what they say.. but i doubt if this is true at all!!!) i was asked to wait to for 15 days see the final results . So i waited, but not even a slightest improvement, it has been a month already! I also did Botox on forehead frawn lines on the same day of my thread lift, and my lines are STILL visible and i am able to frown! The doctor does not live in Dubai he lives in Lebanon and visits only monthly. Post surgery if you require any assistance, u have none,,you find urself alone! I feel cheated & might take legal action against them., at the moment they are taking no responsibility of any of my unhappy results. I am in talks for either refunding my amounts paid or correcting the issues free of charge. Really regretting going to them for all my procedures. As of now extremely disappointed with them n will not recommend Midas Touch Med Spa, or Dr. Antonie Abboud to anyone.

Gorgeous, Smooth Results - Pain Free

Sort by:
*Treatment results may vary

I sought out fillers because of deep nasolabial...

I sought out fillers because of deep nasolabial folds, despite being only 31.

They injected a numbing solution all around the area. This stung slightly, but was very mild compared to the pain of a flu shot. We waited for the numbing to set in, which took about 20 minutes. Then they injected close to one full syringe into the nasal-labial area. Between each injection, the nurse would massage the area gently to smooth out the juvederm. The whole procedure took about 45 minutes. Aside from the mild stinging of the numbing agent, this was absolutely painless.

I went home with an immobile face due to the numbing agent, but within a few hours I looked normal, with only slight blotchiness and swelling around my nose and mouth. The next day, the blotchiness covered up just fine with makeup. In certain lighting I could could see swelling, but nothing I felt self conscious about.

After about 3 days everything looked completely normal and I decided I wanted one patch touched up a bit more. I went back in and they were able to just finish up my syringe - no charge. After that the results were perfect. I see no shadows in what used to be folds. When I smile, I look much younger because the area is plumper and no longer distracts from the rest of my face.

6 months later I am still thrilled with the results. I will definitely get this again in a couple of months when this begins to wear off.

One note - if I massage the area where they injected, I can feel very slight bumps. They are absolutely invisible beneath the skin, and I can only feel them when I massage very firmly. This doesn't bother me at all - on the contrary, I feel pleased that the juvederm is still there! However I have heard some people complain about it. Since I don't make a habit of letting other people massage my face, (aside from a facialist who doesn't care) I don't see any problem with it.

Name not provided

Easy, inexpensive with good follow-up

Best Surgeon for Bbl on Thinner Patient - Florida

Hello ladies, I am highly considering having a...

Hello ladies,
I am highly considering having a bbl done with Dr. Enrique Hanabergh Jr in florida. He has a 5 star raiting, but doesnt have a ton of reviews. Also, the pictures of his work that I have seen are great, but they are all takenight only a month post op. Has anyone out there had a bbl done with him who is at least 6 months post op, if not longer? I'm wanting to know if a good majority of the fat transfered stayed long term or if the majority of it was reabsorbed. Do u feel he is worth having the procedure done with?

My first choice for the surgery was Dr. Matthew Shulman in NY but he quoted be $16,500 which I can't currently afford. So I have been search other doctors.

Hello ladies, I have been doing lots of research...

Hello ladies,

I have been doing lots of research the past few months on the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. I am looking for a certified plastic surgeon in the USA that is well versed in this procedure. I am looking for someone who has zero cases of bbl related deaths and also someone who had good long term results with at least a 70% retention rate of the fat transfered into buttock and hips. There are some very good doctors out there, but they are charging 15-25k, which let's face it, most normal working citizens can't afford. I am looking for a good surgeon that is more affordable and within the the $8,500 range. Any suggestions???????

Best Surgeon for Bbl on Thinner Patient

I have somewhat narrowed down what doctors I think would be best for a BBL. I am 5'5", now 140 lbs after my weight gain, and am wanting the best and safest doctor I can get for this procedure. I love dra durans results, she is amazing at getting a super snatched in waist and ridiculous curves and projection. However, I am not willing to risk having this surgery done outside of the states. Plus I have heard many negative reviews about her bedside manor and the ability to reach her and her staff if you should need them post op.

I am thinking about going to either Dr. Llorente, Dr. Jaimie Schwartz, or Dr. Dass to have the bbl procedure done. Thoughts???? I do like Dr. Matthew Schulmans work, as well as Dr. Payam Jarrah-Nejad, they are a little bit out of my price range. Would you say they are any more superior to the three listed above? Ie, worth taking more time to save up more money to have them do it? Anyone else you all would suggest looking into?

It has left me with deformed earlobes, pain and ropey visible scarring. It did not work on me and I am young, in my early 40's. I had a little bit of loose skin on my neck. I was completely lied to at the consult that was performed by an untrained person. This person also told me that they had it done by the same Dr. scheduled to do mine and she went back to work the next day and did not need pain medication....really? After a facelift? A doctor did not do the consult and when I questioned it I was told, "a doctor never does the consult". It was a girl who pulled up my skin on my neck and said that it the result I could expect. I should have known better because when I applied in that office for a medical loan and it was initially declined that girl was up and out her seat ready to leave the "consult". Now I hear that doctors do the consults because it is against the law not to. They are changing their tactics in my opinion because more people are asking questions. Also, I had severe swelling, bruising, pain, etc. They did not place drains in me to help with bruising and swelling. They did not return phone calls I placed to them. I saw a double board certified plastic surgeon 4 months after LL. He informed me after an examination that this procedure could never do what I wanted and WHAT WAS PROMISED because the incisions were not placed properly to achieve the result I was looking for,etc. He is now going to do a scar revision procedure and lower faceleift, which is what LL is, for $16,500. He also informed me that he revises this LL procedure..."ALL WEEK LONG". LL never used the word facelift with me. That is exactly what you are doing to yourself. You are having a facelift. Forget about the fancy wording....I had to return to work three days after this procedure and I could not hide the swelling, stitches scars, and bruising. I also could not take pain medicine because I had to drive and function. When I tried to calmly discuss this horrible experience with senior staff and office employees of LL I heard responses such as, "No one dragged you to this procedure", "It is your fault the bruising is so severe" etc. E-mail me if you want to know more about my experience with this.

First things first: FDA black box warning! I've...

First things first: FDA black box warning! I've been on tons of acne medications and never received one of these before. I regret taking it so lightly. I took this drug for 5 months. Do you know what a tumorigen is? It creates f****** tumors. I encourage you to read the papers on this drug before trying it. This medication is approved for heart problems/hypertension, how it treats acne is off labeled which means it does it as a side effect. This is not medication for acne, and that's not what it was approved by the fda for. Now on to my story. The good; first three months my acne cleared, skin was less oily. The bad; around month 4 I started having issues. For one my acne returned with a vengeance. I went from 1-2 cystic pimples on my face at any given time before this medication to more than I could count. I stopped counting in tears after 10 cysts. My doctor couldn't figure out why I hit this wall and developed such severe cystic acne, so he upped my already high dosage. All the while going happy go lucky injecting my face with steroids (when you get those acne injections in cysts) which the medication specifically forbids. The only side effects I felt at first were muscle and breast soreness before the dosage increase. After the dosage increase my breasts became so sore I couldn't wear bras or lay on my stomach. My hair started thinning. I fainted after walking up the stairs. When I attempted to contact my doctor about these side effects he was no where to be found. I immediately stopped taking this medication and found a new doctor and while some of my problems ended there I have no idea what this medication has done to my body. My ovaries were clear during the ultrasound before this drug so Pcos was ruled out and my latest ultrasound revealed 5 ovarian cysts. So in less than 6 months I suddenly have growths all over my ovaries. I've developed all sorts of hormonal issues such as: worsening acne(all cysts, I don't even get pimples any more)hot flashes, pressure on my bladder from the growths on my ovaries making me feel like I need to pee constantly. I'm always tired but not mentally, it's my body that feels sluggish, my muscles burn doing normal things. Excersizing used to be a passion, now i can't even handle low impact yoga. I am scheduled for a mammogram later this year for the lumpy tissue that has developed in my breasts. I just turned 23. I'm so scared I try not to think about it. My current doctor can't believe I was given this medicine, especially at such a high dosage. My new dermatologist said he would rather treat patients with accutane and has never prescribed spironolactone.
Los Angeles Dermatologic Surgeon

I should have known something was off when he prescribed me a certain dosage and verbally instructed me to take double that. I asked why my dosage was different than what my chart and prescription bottle said and he told me he simply forgot. Worst of the worst. Stopped responding when I needed help with the side effects I was experiencing. I went in for a "doctors visit" to discuss the side effects, was met by an ethestician for a facial I never booked or have had previously. I was so confused. When I asked for the doctor I was told he was out of town. They did not refund me for the visit and told me I declined the admittedly they told me I paid for nothing. Don't take my word for it, this doctor is being investigated by the board for something relating to another patient, just google his name or look on yelp.

Best Decision I Ever Made! Syracuse, NY

I began to have acne at a young age, and I continued to break out for most of my teenage years. After months of barely any zits, I decided to take my next step. Years and years of acne had left me with deep scars on my temples and cheeks. The rest of my skin was clear and smooth, but I still felt very self conscious, always caking on make-up, which truthfully probably made it worse. After... READ MORE

Used Vs. New Car: What’s Right for You?

Purchasing your next car can be exciting, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all of the available options.

Before heading to the dealership, do your homework to simplify the purchase process: Research vehicle pricing, determine your down payment budget, and check your credit score to give you greater financing options, says Cari Crane, TrueCar Senior Industry Analyst.

When you’re purchasing a car, one of the primary decisions you’ll need to make is whether a new or used vehicle is right for you. Crane offers some advice to help you evaluate your options.

New Vehicles

Advantages: A new vehicle can offer improved fuel efficiency, the latest technology options, and full manufacturer warranties. Some dealerships also offer 0% financing on new car purchases. Additionally, you can customize a new vehicle’s add-ons, such as roof racks, heated seats, and more. “There may be an opportunity to buy a vehicle with the exact specifications that you want,” Crane says.

Limitations: One of the biggest drawbacks to buying a new car is that its monetary value depreciates most significantly within the first few years of use. Another challenge can be in negotiating an offer below the dealership’s price. Research vehicle prices online before heading to the dealership to help level the playing field.

Certified Pre-owned Vehicles

Advantages: Certified pre-owned vehicles are used vehicles that have passed a rigorous manufacturer’s multipoint inspection process. They are usually less than 3 years old and may still be covered by a warranty. In order to be deemed a certified pre-owned vehicle, a vehicle has to meet certain age, mileage and condition requirements, which can give buyers peace of mind, Crane says.

Limitations: While purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle allows you to bypass much of its depreciation, the price will likely be higher than other used vehicles. Additionally, the warranty may vary from a new car warranty and could limit what’s covered, Crane says.

Used Vehicles

Advantages: Typical used cars are often more affordably priced than certified pre-owned vehicles and generally won’t depreciate in value as quickly as new cars. Buying a used car from a dealership — as opposed to an individual owner — frequently offers a few additional advantages: Financing options are often available, and dealerships may be more inclined to remedy issues that arise after a purchase to maintain a positive reputation, Crane says.

Limitations: A dealership’s supply of specific makes and models is usually more limited than new vehicle options. Also depending on the vehicle’s age and other factors, warranty coverage may not be available.

Regency Centers Focusing on Raising Occupancy, Rents

10/31/2013 | By Sarah Borchersen-Keto

Regency Centers Focusing on Raising Occupancy, Rents

As Regency Centers Corp. (NYSE: REG), a national owner, operator and developer of grocery-anchored community shopping centers, marks the 20th anniversary of its initial public offering (IPO), its top priority is to grow net operating income by pushing occupancy levels above 95 percent and increasing rents more than 10 percent, according to the company’s chairman and CEO, Martin “Hap” Stein Jr.

In an interview with, Stein said Regency plans to continue progress in “expertly and opportunistically” creating a fortress balance sheet.  Additionally, Regency’s focus, according to Stein, is on finishing transactions currently in the pipeline and on finding “other great opportunities to be anchored by grocers like Whole Foods.”

Regency Centers’ 20 target markets include key coastal sites in California, as well as locations in Texas, Florida, the Raleigh-Durham region of North Carolina, the Northeast and metropolitan Chicago. Regency’s latest development in the Chicago area – Glen Gate, a 102,876-square-foot center located in the affluent North Shore suburb of Glenview, Ill. – underscores the company’s strategy of locating in densely populated areas with above-average incomes. The shopping center will be anchored by a Mariano’s Fresh Market and is expected to open in fall 2014. Regency currently has more than 300,000 square feet of retail shopping centers under construction in metropolitan Chicago.“We like the Chicago market a lot,” Stein says.

Looking ahead, Stein says Regency will focus on development “that creates terrific infill shopping centers.” He points to another recent transaction, the acquisition of Fellsway Plaza in Medford, Mass., through a joint venture with Charter Realty & Development Corp., as the type of deal that is consistent with its infill strategy. Stein notes that Fellsway Plaza, a neighborhood center anchored by a recently constructed Stop & Shop, offers a “very unique opportunity” in the supply-constrained Boston region and that he is anticipating “substantial” NOI growth from the development.

Stein says he attributes Regency’s success to “an intense focus on being the best-in-class grocery-anchored shopping center company in everything we do.” That starts, he says, with owning a high-quality portfolio with “sustainable competitive advantages,” such as merchandising that’s able to attract “great tenants, occupancy, and pricing power.”

Regency’s leading grocery tenants, such as Whole Foods, Kroger and Trader Joe’s, see average sales volume well above $500 per square foot, according to Stein, and are generating almost 20,000 shopper visits a week. Meanwhile, average household income is close to $100,000 within a three-mile radius of Regency properties, which is “substantially above” Regency’s peer shopping centers, he notes.

Since Regency’s 1993 IPO, the company has delivered total annual shareholder returns of 12 percent. “We’re committed to exceeding our peer averages if we’re going to be a best-in-class shopping center company,” Stein replies when asked if such returns are likely to continue.

Movie Review: “Rise of the Planet of Apes” Starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, and Andy Serkis

August 5, 2011 /  by

Right from the beginning Rise of the Planet of Apes has a lot going against it. For one, it is a prequel to a series of famous sci-fi films, and secondly it follows possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes remake that failed in spectacular fashion. I went into this film fully expecting to not be impressed, add on top of this director’s and writer’s who haven’t seen a lot of Hollywood action, and I was expecting downright disaster.

Rise of the Planet of Apes begins almost two thousand years before the events in Planet of the Apes, when humanity still rules, and apes are still used as objects for studies.  Scientist Will Rodham (James Franco) uses apes in his search for the cure to Alzheimer’s which ails his father, Charles (John Lithgow). Everything seems to be going well, the virus they have created has given the apes higher cognitive abilities, and looks to be ready to start human trials. Although, fate is not so kind, and one of the apes goes rogue while trying to protect her new child, and all of the testing is shut down. Rodham saves the ape’s baby, and raises the chimp in hopes to continue his studies. It becomes evident quickly that the increased cognitive abilities have been passed on to Ceasar, and his intelligence actually exceeds that of his human counterparts at similar developmental stages.

This is all just the prologue to the prologue. The film takes its time establishing all the characters, and the unique setup. The first 45 minutes are a little bit slow because of it, but in the end when bullets and spears are flying it pays off nicely to have seen some slow paced character development.

Where the film really stands out though is in the development of the apes. Andy Serkis brings a human quality to Caesar that lends credence to the role.  In fact, the development of the apes seems to surpass that of the humans. Franco’s Rodham is the only one who is given any type of decent development, his father and girlfriend, played by the beautiful Freida Pinto, are woefully underused at times. Lithgow brings a weight to his struggle with Alzheimer’s which makes up for the lack of character given to him by the writer’s.

Although, it makes you wonder, shouldn’t the humans be secondary to the apes in a film like this? This is all about their rise, why shouldn’t we just use humanity as the backdrop.  I’m ecstatic this is the direction the filmmakers chose, use humanity as the setup to make us feel a bit more comfortable. Once they help establish Caesar, disregard them, because let’s face it; we know where they are going to end up.

I’m amazed that with little to no dialogue the characters are so firmly established at times.  Andy Serkis deserves a lot of recognition for his work. He continues to show why he is the go-to guy in Hollywood for mo-capped characters.

If you are a bit hesitant about the film, don’t be. It’s a lot of fun, and is well worth the price of admission. It isn’t a masterpiece, but it is probably the best in the Apes series since the original film.

Grade: B+

EU Worried By Upcoming Kazakh Vote

President Nazarbaev is seeking another seven-year term (epa) 10 November 2005 -- The EU urged Kazakhstan today to let opposition candidates and the media operate freely in the runup to the country's 4 December presidential election.

The EU said in a statement it is worried by attacks on opposition parties and journalists.

The statement said the EU is concerned over printing and distribution difficulties faced by opposition newspapers, disruption of opposition meetings, and reports of an increasing number of attacks on journalists.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev, who has ruled the Central Asian state since 1989 and is seeking another seven-year term, has vowed to hold a free vote and says there is no media censorship in the republic.

The EU urged Kazakhstan to ensure that opposition candidates, their supporters, and the media will be able to operate unhindered for the remainder of the election campaign.

Russia Doubts Claims That Diplomats Executed

The four were abducted on June 19, when another embassy worker was killed (TV screen shot) June 26, 2006 -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he is not certain of the authenticity of video footage purportedly showing the execution of Russian Embassy workers abducted in Iraq.

A group linked to Al-Qaeda group posted the footage on the Internet on June 25, saying it killed the hostages because Russia failed to pull its troops out of Chechnya.

The four Russians were kidnapped in Baghdad on June 3. The video shows three of them being executed. An accompanying statement said the fourth Russian had also been killed.

Lavrov said experts were studying the images carefully. But he also said the footage did not seem to be "fresh" and that it was not absolutely certain that it was the Russians who were shown on it.

The hostage takers had given Russia a deadline to withdraw its forces from Chechnya and free Muslim prisoners from Russian jails.

Russia: Analysis from Washington -- West Fears Russian Nuclear Safeguards Are Inadequate

  • Paul Goble

Washington, 5 December 1997 (RFE/RL) -- The American intelligence community has concluded that the Russian government currently has reasonably effective control over its stockpile of nuclear warheads and missiles.

But at the same time, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency said, Washington is "very concerned" about the status of Russian safeguards against the illegal sale of the components needed to manufacture such weapons.

In a report released yesterday (Thursday) by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, George Tenet said that he did not believe that Moscow had lost control over any warheads or nuclear missiles, although the reason he gave for that is not entirely encouraging.

"We do not believe that Russian ICBMs are as vulnerable to theft or sales as missile components," Tenet said. "A conspiracy of many government officials would be necessary to purloin an entire ICBM."

Instead, Tenet said his institution feared that Russia might be losing control over the components needed to make a bomb, including large and widely dispersed stores of plutonium and highly enriched uranium.

Tenet argued in the report that Russia's "continuing social and economic difficulties, corruption in the military and the potential activities of organized crime groups" put government control of these materials at risk.

And he pointed out that "Russia's ability to enforce export controls remains problematic because of resource shortages, weak customs enforcement and corruption."

Tenet's report is likely to trigger a new debate on how to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons after the Cold War. At the very least, it seems certain to introduce a new clarity into just what the problem is.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union six years ago, Western analysts and governments have debated whether Moscow has been able to control the nuclear weapons and materials on its territory.

In general, that discussion has focused on the question of whether the Russian government has control of nuclear weapons rather than on whether it has control of the nuclear materials needed to make weapons.

That debate flared anew most recently when Aleksandr Lebed, a former Russian general and aide to Boris Yeltsin, made a dramatic suggestion that Moscow might have lost track of dozens of "suitcase-sized" nuclear weapons.

Tenet's report suggests that Lebed's claims are almost certainly untrue. But if that conclusion is reassuring, Tenet's discussion of Moscow's gradual loss of certain control over the components of nuclear weapons is frightening in the extreme.

The CIA report notes that there are some 1200 tons of highly enriched uranium and 200 tons of plutonium stored in a large number of sites spread across the Russian Federation.

Because producing such materials is the hardest part of building a bomb and because only a few pounds of either substance are needed to make one, any loss of control over even a small part of such stockpiles could quickly lead to disaster.

Obviously, both Russia and the entire world have a vested interest in making sure that the Russian authorities maintain effective control over such materials. But how that is to be done remains very much an open question.

In contrast to nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles, the movement of such materials is far more difficult to monitor and thus extraordinarily difficult to prevent -- especially in a country as troubled as Russia now is.

Tenet's report may now prompt both Moscow and the West to explore some new means of making sure that the safeguards over nuclear materials are just as effective as those over nuclear weapons.

If that does not happen, his report strongly implies, the dangers of future proliferation of weapons of mass destruction will only increase.

Afghanistan: Onset Of Winter Poses Deadly Threat For The Most Vulnerable

  • Kathleen Moore

The first snows have fallen on hills near the Afghan capital Kabul, signaling the fast approach of the harsh Afghan winter. The onset of winter will pose new challenges to the U.S.-led military campaign. But as RFE/RL correspondent Kathleen Knox reports, it presents an even bigger threat to the thousands of Afghans who are fleeing the bombing as well as the effects of a drought.

Prague, 6 November 2001 (RFE/RL) -- Long before bombs started to drop a month ago, some 5 million Afghans were already on the edge of famine, the victims of drought, poverty, and many years of civil war.

Since the start of the U.S.-led air strikes hundreds of thousands have fled the bombs, many of them heading to the refugee camps and cities of neighboring Pakistan. And now winter is about to descend, making their plight all the more dire.

Aid agencies say the onset of winter is going to make the difficult task of feeding the hungry in Afghanistan even harder. And they say they're running out of time to bring supplies before snow blocks the roads used as aid routes.

The UN's UNICEF children's fund has warned that as many as 100,000 children will die in Afghanistan this winter unless food reaches them in sufficient quantities in the next six weeks.

Khaled Mansour is a spokesman for the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), which distributes food to millions of people in Afghanistan. He spoke to RFE/RL on the phone from Islamabad and described the challenges ahead, particularly for people in the central highlands, the Panjsher Valley and Badakshan province in northern Afghanistan.

"Come early December, [these] three areas in Afghanistan will be cut off by snow. The mountain passes will be impassable for trucks. There are 700,000 Afghans who live in these areas and they need something around 40,000 tons of food for the winter months. We are trying to bring as much as possible of that food by truck to pre-position it in these areas by early December. We're also trying to keep some of the mountain passes open later using bulldozers and other equipment. If we cannot bring all the food that needs to be pre-positioned we're also planning to drop food by air."

Mansour said air drops would begin next month if necessary to ensure people get the 52,000 tons of food they need each month.

He said the WFP brought in just over half that amount in October. But he said deliveries have picked up this month and have reached 11,000 tons already. However, Ardag Meghdessian, the WFP's country director for Tajikistan, said today that high fuel prices, a shortage of trucks, and the early onset of winter were greatly reducing WFP's deliveries to northern Afghanistan.

Mansour said it's vital there is no disruption to the deliveries: "There are 6 million people dependent on food aid in Afghanistan. If we are unable to work or provide them food for a month or two, I'm sure millions of them will face severe food shortages."

James Nichols is an Islamabad-based spokesman for the aid agency Oxfam, which has some 100 local staff in Afghanistan. He says many people will have to walk several kilometers through snow -- in many cases across dangerous mountainous terrain -- even to get to the aid distribution points. He estimates that some 400,000 people are at risk of starvation.

"We've heard of reports from people inside Afghanistan that people are reduced to eating some of the wild grasses that grow in various areas. That was actually reported about a month ago, that people were already eating grass and in some of those areas the grass isn't even growing, so the situation was desperate already."

Yesterday, the ruling Taliban called on the United Nations and other agencies to help more. But the UN counters that the Taliban are uncooperative, and are even hindering their efforts by stealing equipment.

Mansour says the Taliban have proved more of a hindrance than a help in distributing aid to those who need it: "I'm sure the Taliban know very well how to help the international community provide more assistance. The first step would be to allow our aid workers on the ground unimpeded access to our communications equipment that has been sealed, taken from our offices, by the Taliban after 11 September."

Both Mansour and Nichols say the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan began long before the U.S.-led strikes began. They say it's difficult to quantify how much of the crisis is a direct result of the air strikes and how much existed already.

But Mansour says there may be one positive aspect to the bombing campaign: "I think one of the positive side effects of the current crisis, if one can see any positive elements to it, is the fact that the world attention is now focused on Afghanistan and the humanitarian crisis. [Many] people were dependent on food aid even before 11 September -- as a matter of fact, for the past three years. Before 11 September, the World Food Program was appealing for food aid for 5.5 million people inside Afghanistan come December. After 11 September, and fearing a new influx of displaced persons within Afghanistan, we increased this number to 6 million people. But basically the crisis in Afghanistan -- as far as food security is concerned -- started long ago, before 11 September."

But Mansour adds that as much as the U.S.-led strikes have helped draw attention to the plight of Afghans this winter, the military campaign has made humanitarian aid work all the more difficult.

Belarus Sets Presidential Election Date

The Belarusian parliament has set October 11 as the date for a presidential election.

President Alyaksandr Lukashenka is widely expected to win the polls, extending his two-decade-long grip on power.

Several candidates from various political parties and blocks have announced they intend to run against him.

International observers have not declared a Belarusian election to be free and fair since Lukashenka, 60, came to power in 1994.

He unleashed a crackdown on the opposition after winning presidential polls in December 2010 with what election officials said was 80 percent of the vote.

Mass protests later broke out on the streets of the capital, Minsk.

Police arrested hundreds of protesters and seven challengers to Lukashenka for the presidential post.

Two of the candidates were later sent to prison, where one still remains.

2000 Miles of being old and boring

The root of empiricism is the experimental method. The experimental method requires a kind of belief. One believes, for example, that running 100 miles a week for 6 weeks will make them a faster marathoner. In order to understand the value of this belief, one must carry it out, commit to it fully and completely and then measure its consequences. Experiment is impossible without a degree of belief. The empiricist understands that the value of a belief is measured according to its consequences upon implementation. Experience trumps ideas. The dogmatist takes his belief to have value in itself and condemns any experience that does not measure up to the belief. Ideas trump experience. The measure is reversed. The empiricist understands beliefs as actions to be undertaken. For the dogmatist, beliefs are standards according to which we condemn or praise certain elements of experience. The empiricist cannot live without the first sort of belief; the second sort poisons the experimentalism that is at the heart of any empiricism worthy of the name: it judges life instead of participating in it.

Our Riverside Personal Injury Lawyer Offers Car Accident Information

man with pain in back Riverside Personal Injury LawyerIn the confusion after a car accident, it can be hard to remember to gather information and protect your rights. If you have to be transported directly from the scene for your injuries, it can be even more difficult to obtain the documentation and evidence you will need in order to pursue compensation later on.

10 Things You Should Write Down After an OC Car Accident

Although your first priority should be your medical treatment and recovery, it is important to write down as many details as you remember while the event is still fresh in your mind. Even if you believe you will never forget what happened, here are ten important things you should write down as soon as possible after a wreck in which you are injured:

  • The date and time of the accident
  • The location of the accident
  • The direction you were traveling and what happened just before the accident
  • How the accident happened—you might even consider drawing a diagram
  • The drivers and vehicles involved
  • A physical description of the other driver and any passengers
  • Any potential witnesses
  • The weather conditions on the day of the wreck
  • The road and traffic conditions on the day of the wreck
  • A date, time, and description of any communication from the other driver and his or her insurance company

A successful personal injury lawsuit settlement can help you cover the mountain of medical bills and other expenses that pile up after you are injured in a serious car accident in Orange County, but you don’t have to collect evidence and find answers on your own. If you were injured, our Riverside personal injury lawyer can help you decide how to proceed. Please give Russell & Lazarus a call today at 1-(949) 851-0222 for a completely free case review.

Preventing Orange County Car Accidents at Red Lights & Intersections

leg in cast man with pain in back Riverside Personal Injury LawyerRed lights are in place to prevent accidents, but intersections with traffic lights still remain the site of an extremely large portion of traffic collisions in California and across the country. What can you do to reduce your chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident at a stop light?

Be aware, even if you have the right-of-way.

Far too many drivers assume that since they have a green light, they don’t need to look for oncoming cars or worry about other drivers. Even when you have the right-of-way, glance to your left and right when driving through an intersection.

Watch for pedestrians and cyclists.

Intersections are the place where pedestrians literally share the street with cars—a situation which can be extremely dangerous. Watch out for pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road, and be aware that not all pedestrians will cross only when they have a WALK signal.

Make left turns with care.

The most common type of accident at a lighted intersection is a left-turn accident. When making a turn, look carefully and give yourself plenty of room. When others are turning, be aware that not everyone uses their turn signals.

Slow down when approaching intersections.

Don’t wait to slam on your brakes when the green light turns yellow; be prepared to stop as soon as you approach an intersection. Many rear-end accidents occur when cars drive too fast as they approach a traffic light.

Unfortunately, intersections can be the site of some of the most serious accidents because they can lead to head-on crashes and T-bone crashes. Driving safely through an intersection can significantly reduce your chance of a life-changing crash.

Why More California Car Accidents Happen During the Holidays

car accident Riverside Personal Injury LawyerCar accident rates skyrocket around all of the major holidays, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. What should be a time of joy and peace too often turns into a time of tragedy. Why are there more traffic accident injuries and fatalities around the holidays than at any other time of the year?

  • Drinking and driving. The holidays are a time to celebrate, but they aren’t a reason to act irresponsibly. Unfortunately, far too many revelers overindulge during the holidays and make the dangerous and illegal decision to drive home.
  • Fatigued driving. Many people travel long distances to visit friends and family—and, many drive at odd hours to beat the traffic or neglect to take regular driving breaks. The result is accidents caused by fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel.
  • Distracted driving. Around the holidays, drivers might have a vanload of kids or relatives. Others might be talking with relatives on a cell phone or thinking about holiday drama. All of these distractions can take focus away from driving safely.
  • Congested roads. Millions of people take to the highways and interstates on and around the holidays. More cars on the road mean more traffic and more traffic accidents.
  • Poor weather conditions. While wintery conditions aren’t an issue in Southern California, snow and ice can be serious concerns in the mountains and in other regions of the country.

If you have been injured in a California car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you could collect compensation for your losses, including your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Watch Out for Fraud at the Scene of an Orange County Car Accident

ambulance car accident Riverside Personal Injury LawyerAs if the shock and panic of being involved in a car accident wasn’t enough, there are some con artists out there who may try to take advantage of the shaken victims of car accidents in Riverside. In some cases, individuals or criminal organizations may stage an accident with you to try to get you to pay for alleged injuries. In other cases, you may be contacted after an accident by con artists posing as doctors, attorneys, repair shops, and others who are out to take advantage of you after a wreck.

Here are some common accident fraud “red flags” and schemes:

  • The claims report mentions passengers or witnesses that were not present at the time of the accident.
  • You receive an unsolicited call from an auto repair shop, attorney, or medical provider who offers help after an accident.
  • The driver caused the accident by suddenly hitting the brakes, ignoring traffic laws, or going out of his or her way to make you wreck.
  • The other car was already damaged, or the other driver is on a temporary license.
  • The driver talks you into giving or accepting cash at the scene or refers you personally to an auto shop, doctor, or other service.

While many of these staged auto accidents are intentionally minor, innocent victims are sometimes injured or lose a significant amount of money to scammers. To protect yourself, always be suspicious of any offer made at the scene of the wreck or any unsolicited offers of help, and immediately contact an attorney of your own choosing to guide you.

Health Issues for Senior Drivers That Could Cause a CA Car Accident

car accident Riverside Personal Injury LawyerAfter a 100-year-old driver in Southern California struck a group of school children with his car last month, many have been discussing the possible danger of elderly drivers in California. It is important to understand why older drivers may face issues behind the wheel and what health problems may lead seniors to cause car accidents.

Why are elderly drivers increasingly involved in traffic accidents as they age?

  • Vision issues. Vision becomes worse with age, and conditions like cataracts also can affect older drivers. While many wear glasses, some drivers may not keep up with prescriptions, while others might struggle with sensitivity to light, peripheral vision, or night vision.
  • Hearing issues. Being hard of hearing can make it difficult to know when an emergency vehicle is approaching, to hear a horn, or simply to be aware of the traffic around you. Many seniors experience hearing loss as they age.
  • Side effects of medications. The elderly also face a larger general range of medical issues that often require prescription medication. Some of these prescriptions can cause side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, or slow reflexes.
  • Slowing movements and reflexes. Seniors have less muscle mass, slower response times, and less range of motion. They may be less able to respond quickly in an emergency, avoid a collision, or effectively slam on their brakes.
  • Memory and reasoning issues. An elderly driver may become confused by road design, may forget familiar areas, or may lose touch with driving regulations.

Elderly drivers should try to remain aware of their mental and physical health, especially as it relates to driving safety. Speaking with your doctor and your loved ones about these issues is especially important for knowing when to hang up your keys.

Who Pays When a Passenger Is Injured in a California Wreck?

car accident Riverside Personal Injury LawyerAlthough we often focus on drivers who have been injured in Orange County accidents, recent news of a passenger who died in multi-car Buena Park crash is a sad reminder of the needs of some of the most innocent victims in these tragic accidents. If you weren’t driving, who is responsible for paying your medical bills if you are injured in a Riverside wreck?

In California, depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, you may be able to seek compensation from:

  • The driver of the car you were in. Whether you have been involved in a single-vehicle crash or a multi-car crash in Orange County, you may be able to pursue compensation from the insurance company that covers the driver of the car you were riding in at the time of the accident.
  • The drivers of the other vehicles. If more than one vehicle was involved in the wreck, it may be more complicated to determine who is responsible for your injuries. However, you may be able to pursue compensation from the insurance companies of other drivers involved in the wreck.
  • Your own insurance company. Depending on the details of your insurance coverage, you may be able to receive compensation from your own insurance company after you are injured in a wreck as a passenger.

About Ban Sairee

Ban Sairee consists of two pavilions, which are both located on an untouched beach in the south of Koh Samui, overlooking the two nearby and uninhabited islands Koh Matsum and Koh Taen.

Upon entering the house, you will immediately step on to the expansive deck which surrounds the two pavilions. One of the pavilions contains the bedrooms, whereas the other contains the spacious living spaces. On the large wooden terrace, you will find a dining table, which is perfect for alfresco dining.

There is also relaxing sun loungers, for you to soak up the sun and enjoy your beautiful surroundings. The barbeque that is provided in this excellent outdoor space provides the perfect place to enjoy a family dinner or a candlelit dinner depending on your personal needs.

The open plan living space is decorated in an authentic Thai style, with water hyacinth furniture and a classic, long teak dining table. The sleeping pavilion, on the other hand, incorporates the three bedrooms. The first bedroom features twin beds and a walk in closet. The ensuite bathroom for this bedroom however, is particularly impressive. From the relaxing bathtub, you can look up at the palm trees, moon and stars through the skylight ceiling, and there is also a refreshing open-air shower. The second bedroom is a children's bedroom with a single bed and a bathroom with a shower. The third bedroom is the maseter bedroom, and features a double bed and a complete bathroom with a covered bathtub and an open-air shower.

Both pavilions have direct access to the secluded beach through the lawn that is filled with palm trees. In this lawn you will also find the swimming pool, and behind the main house is the private tennis courts.

This villa, as well as it's extensive facilities, will exceed your wildest expectations as a holiday getaway.

Customer reviews

10/10 (Average rating based on 3 reviews)

Absolutely amazing!! We are a family of 4 with two teenage boys and met up with another family of 4 with 2 teenage girls. There is so much space here that everyone can just find there own place to relax and get what they want out of their holiday. The service is top class and the catering and meals is out of this world. Whilst the accommodation cost is up there you save a bundle by paying for them to shop locally and cook. Compare this to hotel restaurant rates and the food is so much better and the cost is amazing The two villas are on a huge property with a great pool and sitting down by the private beach is total relaxation - night and day! We had other friends around and June and the staff organized an amazing beach BBQ. Unlike hotels the staff here are very intuitive as to when to approach you and when to give you your space. Wanted for nothing and while we don't usually like to go back to the same places we've been before, Baan Sairee is one place we would love to come back to! First class!!!!

I went to Ban Sairee with my family for my wedding. I can't describe how perfect it was. The staff, location, rooms and service were out of this world. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting something special. Thanks!

Nicola B (Australia) stayed at Ban Sairee with a group of friends from 03/03/2016 to 06/03/2016

Family/mates holiday with 6 kids under 11 yrs old and 4 adults. All the pictures and the description on the respective websites were accurate. What you see is what you got - superb Villa. The added bonus that you do not read about were the 6 staff members - especially the chef - always attentive with plenty of input and having 6 kids kept them on their feet. The manageress was awesome and made sure we were never out of food or refreshments. What makes this Villa special was the ongoing attention that the owners put into it - homely touches all around, up to date DVD library, Wi console that works and a selection of games. Many board games and toys to keep the kids busy around the pool. The on site Tennis court with flood lights was great - don't bother to take your own racquets as the ones on site were brand new and good enough for the average tennis player.

Seaport Village: A Waterman’s Graveyard?

Seaport Village

Seaport Village

  • Seaport Village

  • Dead Man's Point
  • Coronado Bay Bridge
View Full Gallery »

Welcome to Dead Man’s Point. It’s a breezy piece of real estate where old-growth trees shade a carousel and other attractions within a faux turn-of-the century fishing township at the water’s edge. Otherwise known as Seaport Village, it is a fashionable attraction for tourists and locals and possibly, the ghosts of sailors. Beneath those storied cobblestones lies one of the more grisly, if little-known mass graveyards in San Diego.

There is argument about who, exactly, is buried under Seaport Village but this much is known: in 1769, more than two hundred years before ground was broken for California’s most successful retail attraction a pair of Spanish galleons dropped anchor in the bay adjacent. The sailors made camp on the mud flats and then began to die, two or three a day according to the captain’s log. The survivors buried the dead more or less where they fell. It was scurvy, most likely, that took them out.

Tragedy struck again almost 150 years later when dozens more sailors came to a hard end on those same waters. In 1905, some 60 crew members of the U.S. gunboat the Bennington perished in a boiler room explosion while at anchor just off the H (later renamed Market) Street commercial wharf. The death toll exceeded that sustained by the Navy in the entire Spanish-American War. Surrounding public buildings were by necessity converted to hospitals and morgues. The funeral procession to Point Loma was said to be over a mile long.

Lumber purveyors built wharves along the bay near Dead Man’s Point at the turn of the century and set up operations in supply of building materials for a growing city. Dens of iniquity also prospered along the waterfront. During the 1930’s, train tracks coursed the area below Harbor Drive. There were tuna boats and canneries and beyond the sea wall near what is now the Marriott, the Star of India sat at anchor, rotting. In 1936, bay dredge and old pilings were used to build up the land near the Point for the construction of a new police station that remained in operation until 1988 and that now figures in a proposed expansion of Seaport Village.

When the Coronado Bay Bridge made the ferry landing obsolete in 1969, much of Dead Man’s Point sat vacant until 1978 when the Port Authority granted a 50-year lease to a retired Texas oilman named Morris Taubman. Taubman’s company, Seaport Manfred, built and operated Seaport Village. The lease that first year was $100,000. It doubled the next year and remained at $200,000 dollars (plus a complex percentage of rents and retail sales) paid to the Port Authority over the next 19 years. After, the lease was split into five-year increments. It was a solid investment; by 1983, three years after opening, Seaport Village was a cash cow and expected to top $25 million in revenues.

But today the future of Seaport Village itself is in question. Taubman died in 1990; Carlsbad’s Terramar Retail Centers now holds the lease, which expires in 2018. Plans, they say, are in the works for the aforementioned expansion and a complete re-tooling of the tourist destination. Public comments were taken in May of this year.

One also wonders about what plans there may be for a small, inconspicuous bronze plaque, patina-darkened and embedded on a crumbling plaster wall near the old police station. As such it is the only memorial to those 100 or so Spaniards who breathed their last in 1769 far from home at La Punta de los Muertos on San Diego bay

Yesterday, Emperor, er, Mayor Filner issued a video apology to the City of San Diego for his "inappropriate and wrong" behavior towards women who work both for him and with him. "I have diminished the office to which you elected me," said Filner. "If my behavior doesn't change, I cannot succeed in leading our city. In the next few days, I will be announcing fundamental changes within the mayor's office, designed to promote a new spirit of cooperation, respect, and effectiveness."

Today, SD on the QT obtained a draft proposal from the Mayor's office regarding the precise nature of those changes. Termed the Weak and Inoffensive Mayor Program (WIMP), it should go a long way toward curbing Filner's more abrasive mannerisms. Below are a few of WIMP's more notable changes

The Mayor must, at all times when serving in an official capacity, wear a Kick Me sign on his back. Any city employee may take advantage of the offer, after which, the Mayor must say, "Thank you very much."

Unless he is actually signing documents, the Mayor must wear mittens at all times.

Between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., the Mayor must speak in a whisper.

When flogging the City Attorney, the Mayor may use nothing stiffer than a pool noodle.

The Mayor must buy the first round of pina coladas at the City Council's weekly 10 a.m. Friday Fun Time meetup at the Tilted Kilt in the Gaslamp. At said meetup, he must refrain from commenting on or leering at the waitstaff, no matter how high Belinda's kilt rides up as she serves the drinks or how many buttons bartender Cindy leaves undone on her blouse.

When the Mayor tells a greedy, corrupt bastard, "Get out of my office before I stick your head in the same shithole where you keep your sense of civic responsibility," he must also say "please."

Finally, once a year, the Mayor must meet with the City Fathers, i.e., the developers who run things around here. The Mayor will don a Speedo, slather himself with bacon grease, and run around the conference room for no less than five minutes. If during that time any of the developers are able to catch the greased Mayor and hold onto him for ten seconds, that developer will be allowed one project free of government oversight.

Where is the Committee of 100 when we need them?

Matthew Lickona July 12, 2013 @ 11:55 a.m.

Apparently, they're busy preserving Balboa Park's Spanish Colonial Architecture: http://www.c100.org/

Fred Williams July 12, 2013 @ 12:15 p.m.

The new Weak And Inoffensive Mayor Program (WIMP) is the model for future leadership for our country.

Just imagine if we had a Congress that would allow big banks and speculators to write financial laws. What WIMPs!

Or if the Supreme Court were to say Corporations are People, while whittling down the 4th amendment to a twig...that would be WIMPish.

But nobody could imagine an Executive Branch that would spy on its own citizens, execute without trial those it deems "enemies", and continue to militarize the police...such a situation would be totally WIMPy.

So starting it out in San Diego is a great start. By emasculating and humiliating any office holder who dares to transgress against accepted corporate norms, and the best interests of the Chamber of Commerce, we can finally have the bright happy future we all deserve.

Thank you, Mr. Mencken, for reporting this welcome news.

On the contrary, Honest Gov, more Swiftian satire! Describe the present theater at San Diego City Hall! And let's have a Neal Obermeyer cartoon of Saint Donna Frye and her trolling-for-bidness so-non-pro-bono "progressive" lawyers Marco Gonzale$ and Cory Brigg$. And a sidebar of Democ - rats jumping off Mayor Bob Filner's leaky ship of state. It's how to counteract the "sad and serious" righteous bullshit that's actually a bipartisan coup d'etat.

LSU lost a commitment from 3-star DT Jamarcus Chatman on Sunday.

The Rome (Ga.) product announced he was re-opening his recruitment in a note posted to his Twitter account.

Chatman originally committed to LSU on April 22 along with two Rome teammates, 4-star OLB Adam Anderson and 3-star SDE Jaquon Griffin. Without Chatman, LSU’s loaded class dips from 19 to 18 commitments.

The Peach State prospect should have plenty of options moving forward. Chatman has an impressive 58 scholarship offers, including Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee. One SEC team yet to offer also figures prominently in the mix.

Chatman, who measures 6-foot-2, 267 pounds, is rated the No. 31 defensive tackle and No. 42 Georgia recruit in the class of 2018. His highlights can be viewed below:

Crystal Gayle Invited to Be The Newest Member of the Grand Ole Opry

Crystal Gayle will be the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. This is the news out of Tuesday night’s (11-15) Opry presentation where Carrie Underwood surprised the crowd by walking out and inviting Gayle to the legendary country music institution while Gayle was performing her signature song, “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.” Obviously, Gayle accepted, and she will be officially inducted on January 21st.

“I was sent tonight to ask you if you would like to join our Opry family officially, and be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry,” Underwood said to a surprised Crystal Gayle, who though Underwood was only in attendance to sing a duet with her. Carrie Underwood is one of the Opry’s most active mainstream members, and was in town in between tour stops to do the honors.

“I have always felt like I was a member of the family and this is just so special,” Gayle responded.

The 65-year-old Crystal Gayle is the younger sister of country queen Loretta Lynn, and has amassed 20 #1 hits and six gold albums throughout her career. Though she commonly performs on the Grand Ole Opry, the induction will make her the institution’s first new member since Little Big Town was inducted in October of 2014. This is one of the longest periods between inducting new Opry members in recent memory, and had many speculating who and when a new Opry member would be named.

The induction of Crystal Gayle also is a big win for country music traditionalists who want to see the storied institution embrace more older artists, especially since they are the ones fulfilling the majority of the performance slots these days. There has also been much made about the lack of performances from newer artists who’ve been inducted recently. Picking Crystal Gale ensures the Opry that their newest member will take the honor seriously, and fulfill her performance obligations.
