The First Woman To Have Sex w/ Her Own Kidney

We've all heard about the urban legend where a person wakes up in a hotel bathtub with a scar across the abdomen, one kidney lighter.

However, a new surgical procedure could make donating a kidney nearly scar-free - at least for women. For the first time, doctors extracted a kidney out of a patient's vagina for the purpose of organ donation.

A 48-year-old woman donated the organ to her niece.

Doctors have previously extracted cancerous kidneys using a similar technique, as well as appendixes and gall bladders.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins University Medical School performed the operation using two wands inserted through small incisions in the patient's abdomen. They tracked their movements with a video camera inserted through her navel.

Meanwhile, the surgeons cut an incision into her vaginal wall and put in a small plastic bag to hold the newly freed kidney. A string attached to the bag allowed them to pull the bag and kidney out of her vagina.

Though this may sound more invasive than extracting a kidney the traditional way, lead surgeon Robert Montgomery says the procedure could encourage more women to donate their kidneys.

Natural orifice surgeries are "the final frontier to explore in making surgery scarless, less painful and, for obese patients, much safer," said colleague Anthony Kalloo in a press release. "An organ donor, in particular, is most deserving of a scar-free, minimally invasive and pain-free procedure."

Color Corrector 3-Way

I've just started to color correct my first DPd feature film and am having fun playing with color and having lots of control.  It's a horror movie if you can't tell from the pics.

Before
After
Less saturation in everything but the reds.  Turned brownish purple blood to more stereotypical red.  Crushed the blacks down a bit so the hair stands out a bit better.

Freelance can really suck

Freelance can really suck and sometime you have to take a stand and download some PDFs from official sounding websites.  Thanks to my pal SJ for showing me how it's done.

P.S. LA sucks!

Suck It Forever 21

We went into Forever 21 and the place was a total mess.
I said to the manager, "WTF? These people shopping here are like animals.  Can't they put the crap they just got off a rack back?"  The manager looked at me with that pale, white, expressionless face and either told me to suck it or was inviting me to get dirty with her.

DEBTCO: Go Bankrupt for the Low Low Price of...


Yea, just go bankrupt.  How do you make a business out of charging people to go bankrupt?  And are you noticing that DEBTCO is a lot like GEICO?  Right down to a silly mascot who usually appears on the right hand side of ads?

And take a look at this website

And who is this guy ---->  a lot of A+ employees over there at DEBTCO.
