Just Face It…Part 2 -
Jun 30, 2008 - 11:01:52 AM
Further to my discussion last week regarding face lift surgery; facial emotion is most dramatically reflected in the eyebrow and forehead.
Ideally, a woman’s eyebrows should arch on or slightly above the upper orbital rims (upper rim of the bone over the eye) and a man’s should arch along the rims.
If the eyebrows are displaced downward, the face may portray certain stereotypic expressions.
For example, downward displacement of the inner portion of the eyebrows often depicts an expression of ill will; downward displacement of the middle portion of the eyebrows may depict an expression of sadness; and overall downward displacement of the eyebrows suggests fatigue.
Similarly, forehead wrinkles relay certain facial expressions.
Deep vertical lines between the eyebrows (in the glabellar region) give the unintentional impression of anger, annoyance, or a scowl, whereas a heavily lined forehead may give a tired and worried expression.

Animal News - Bits and Pieces... -

Sometimes there are lots of different things to say about various different topics and I think to myself, 'how can I possibly put all of these things in one article?' Then I have to try and figure out what is the most important thing to discuss and what can afford to be left behind. Why I wonder, did it take me close to a year to figure out that time to time I could write an animal news, a bits and pieces article, touching more than one thing?
Who knows what touched me to suddenly be enlighten me, but it did and so here we go...

These days, having a facelift isn’t what it used to be.
For one thing, people are having facelifts earlier than ever before.
“I didn’t want to wait until I looked like my mother,” or “I just didn’t like my reflection in the mirror” are common refrains from women in their 40s and 50s who have opted for facelift surgery now rather than later.
Today’s facelift patient has a variety of options unavailable to his or her counterparts in decades past.
A full facial rejuvenation, a “mini lift” or something in between may be customized for each individual, depending on the patient’s special needs and goals.
A variety of techniques make it possible not only to smooth loose skin and tighten underlying tissues, but also to add or decrease fullness in specific areas...

No Parking Zone -

Trying to find a parking space at Port Lucaya has always had its challenges, but lately it seems virtually impossible, begging the question whether or not merchants, owners and/or developers actually want to make money.
This lack of parking at Port Lucaya makes me wonder if residents are even welcomed to patronize the various businesses. For as much as people are talking about the slow economy, one would think that more would be done to make Port Lucaya more assessable...
