she thought she was overweight?

Linda Rittenbach, 58, is shown here with one of her physicians before one of her three surgeries to remove two tumors -- which together weighed 140 pounds -- from the area near her stomach.

Doctors performed a total of three surgeries to cut the growths from Rittenbach's abdomen.

Lai facial tumor removed

As seen in this photo, Lai endured a huge facial tumor, known as a Schwannoma, for most of her life. In addition to keeping her out of school, it has made even simple actions like breathing and talking difficult. On April 29, surgeons carried out a 14-hour procedure to remove the growth, hoping to help her live a normal life.Lai, who is scheduled to undergo additional surgery on Oct. 10 to reconstruct her jaw, can now drink fluids and may soon be able to eat soft foods. While she still has a tracheostomy tube in her throat for safety purposes, the tube will likely be removed during the next round of surgery. Afterward, doctors are hopeful that she will begin to be able to speak normally for the first time in years.

led candles

The LED Blow On-Off Candles are solid wax (except for some electronics) and feature a natural-looking, flickering light just like normal candles, but they have a couple of extra techno enhanced powers. Regular candles will blow out if you blow on the flame, but these LED candles will also blow on. All you have to do is use the master on/off switch on the bottom, and these candles will turn on and off with just a puff at the "flame". Even better, each candle has a switch to select either a cool blue flame, or a more realistic yellowish flame. From the proper distance and height, these candles will fool everyone into thinking they are the real thing; they are a fantastic way to put candles where it is too dangerous to have open flames. And, they won't drip wax all over your mithril armor either.Three heights are available - 3″,4″ and 6″ and run on batteries - button or AAA depending on the size of the candles. The price of $12-$15 is worth the piece of mind.

whistling ape

Recently, a keeper was walking past the great ape house at the Smithsonian National Zoo, in Washington DC, when he heard whistling coming from inside. Thinking that one of the zoo's visitors had infiltrated the restricted area, he hurried to investigate. It turned out not to be a person who was making the noise, but one of the ape house's long-time residents, Bonnie, a 30-year-old orangutan.Serge Wich and his colleagues at the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa, think she copied it from the keepers and have been studying Bonnie's behaviour since she went public. She can't hold a tune, as such, and in the scientists' opinion she doesn't whistle for attention, or to ask for anything, but just to pass the time of day. "It appears that she does it for her own satisfaction," says Al Setka, a spokesman for the trust.

وجها ًهو الأقرب للملكة كليوباترا

فجرت الباحثة الإنكليزية المتخصصة في الآثار المصرية القديمة "سالي آن أشتون" مفاجأة من العيار الثقيل¡ عندما أعلنت عن أن الوجه الذي لطالما اشتهرت به الملكة الفرعونية "كليوباترا"¡ وسبق لنجمات كبيرات أمثال إليزابيث تايلور وصوفيا لورين أن جسدت دورها علي الشاشة الفضية¡ قد لا يكون الوجه الذي يعبر عن تفاصيل وجه الملكي الحقيقي

وقالت أشتون أنها تعتقد أن الصورة الكمبيوترية المحدثة ثلاثية الأبعاد التي تم تصميمها للملكة ربما تكون الصورة الأكثر شبها ً للملكة التي عرفت بأسطورة الجمال التي اشتهرت بقدرتها علي اللهو والإغراء. وقد تم تجميع تلك الصورة من خلال صور تم التقاطها لتحف أثرية عتيقة¡ تشتمل علي أحد الخواتم التي يعود تاريخها إلي فترة حكم الملكة منذ حوالي 2000 عام¡ كما جاءت هذه الصورة كعصارة عمل بحثي جاد استمر لمدة عام كامل
