But in the thick of August, who wants to think about buying school supplies?

MoneySmart folks,tiffany, that’s who. That’s because they know it’s best to scoop up the deals now when they’re ridiculously cheap rather than wait until the start of the school year, when some items will increase in price by more than 100 percent. Heck, even if you don’t have kids, who can pass up one-cent glue sticks?

Here are some tips to keep in mind if you partake of the deals:

Are your children at the stage where they need a graphing calculator? Lucky you. Those can cost about $100. But you don’t have to pay retail! There are plenty of deeply discounted, barely used calculators available on Web sites such as eBay.com, Craigslist.com and Amazon.com – some for as little as $19.50 plus shipping!

Many stores offer loss leaders – super cheap items designed to get you inside. Watching the ads and shopping at several stores could save you a bundle. Better yet, keep track of which stores have the best prices, then take the ads to a store that offers a price-matching policy and buy everything in one place.

Don’t forget about promotional coupon codes if you’re shopping online. Web sites such as CurrentCodes.com, SlickDeals.net and CouponSherpa.com round them up for you. For example, you can use the code KMART5OFF50 right now to get $5 off a purchase of $50 or more at Kmart.

Do your homework when it comes to big ticket purchases such as computers. Comparison shopping is crucial. Use your newspaper circulars and Web sites such as PriceWatch.com and Froogle.com to compare prices and features and to read reviews.

Don’t stray from the list of supplies given by your child’s teacher. You may think a spiral notebook is just as good as a marble composition notebook, but the teacher may feel differently. That goes for brand names,pendants, too. If they ask for Fiskars brand scissors, don’t think you’ll get away with buying something different.

If you don’t have a list, stick to buying just the essentials: notebook refill paper,bracelets, pens, pencils, crayons. You can also check the school’s Web site to see if it has classroom lists posted there.

Check out warehouse clubs and online bulk buys, then gather like-minded moms to buy large lots of items and split the cost. If the price is right and you have a big enough group, you could save a ton.

Expect to return things. Keep everything in its original packaging and put your receipts in a safe place. Make sure college students don’t so much as breathe on a textbook’s shrink wrap. School bookstores are notoriously picky. If you’ve bought the wrong book and taken it out of its wrapper, it could be a very costly mistake.

And, as I tell you every year – check around the house for supplies you already have. Nothing beats free.

"CHA supports the FTC’s efforts to eliminate fraudulent and misleading marketing of discount health care programs. Discount health care programs provide millions of members with access to substantial savings on health care products and services. It’s important that consumers have continued access to legitimate discount programs which make health care more affordable while also being protected against fraudulent outfits that misrepresent these programs."

Discount health care programs are non-insurance programs that offer consumers direct access to health care products and services at discounted rates. Discount health care programs are offered not just by discount companies, but by insurance companies to subscribers, counties to residents, banks to customers, non-profit organizations to members,watches, and employers to employees. The simplicity and value of these programs are enjoyed by millions of people in every state in the country. CHA companies have more than 45 million participants in the U.S. today.

Discount health care programs began operating about 20 years ago,Bead bracelet, primarily to offer access at discounted rates to those ancillary health care services not typically covered by insurance plans. Services typically included dental, pharmacy,necklaces, vision, chiropractic,bracelets, and hearing. These ancillary benefits comprise about 95 percent of discount memberships. Legitimate discount health care companies always have made clear that the access they provide to these services is not insurance.

In recent years, the skyrocketing cost of health care has made traditional health insurance increasingly unaffordable. This instability in the market has created an opportunity for some bad actors to exploit unwitting consumers through health care schemes that promise a lot and deliver little or nothing.

Leading discount health care programs became concerned that these bad actors were going to define the discount health care industry in the minds of consumers and regulators. To ensure that this did not happen, and to protect consumers’ access to legitimate discount health care programs, these companies joined together to form CHA in 2001. CHA is now the national trade association of discount health care programs.

CHA’s mission is threefold: first, to educate consumers and regulators about the consumer benefits of quality discount health care programs, and to give consumers the information they need to find a reputable program; second, to create a code of conduct that establishes benchmarks for well-operated, consumer-friendly programs; and third, to work with state legislatures and regulators on discount health care issues. Unlike some trade associations which exist to defend against laws and regulations, CHA welcomes the opportunity to work with states on targeted laws and regulations that direct consumers toward legitimate programs and protect them from fraudulent ones. In this regard, CHA has worked with legislatures and regulators in about 25 states over the last few years. CHA also worked closely with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) on the development of its 2006 model state legislation regulating discount health care programs. Discount programs are now regulated by 34 states.

But the dermatologist who had injected the filler into a hollowness under her eyelids and smoothed out fat deposits said it was just a minor matter of healing time before her skin took on a natural hue again and the swelling went down.

Two years later the discoloration and puffiness were still there.

"I’ve been pretty upset," said Taylor, who recently traveled from Montana to Las Vegas to see if a cosmetic surgeon could undo what had been done back home. "I had been wearing sunglasses even when there wasn’t any sun."

As it turned out, Dr. Shoib Myint was able to reverse the condition under her left eye, and the other eye will be done soon.

"The filler had been put in too close to the surface of the skin," Myint said recently in his office off West Sahara Avenue.

"She’s lucky that the filler that had been used was one I was able to flush out. Too often people who don’t know what they’re doing will use a filler that can’t be reversed. In rare cases I’ve seen, people have lost their vision because of the way the filler is placed."

As the number of people electing to have cosmetic procedures continues to rise across the country, the number of corrective revisions, or "redos" as they are often called, appears to be increasing at a rate that is significant enough to cause concern among medical practitioners.

"Sometimes what has been done to patients actually astounds me," said Dr. Michael Edwards, a Las Vegas plastic surgeon who is a spokesman for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "Unfortunately, people will go out and simply price shop for surgery, and then the next thing you know they’re spending two to three times more for revision surgery."

Some 17 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States last year, but no one knows how many were redos.

While anecdotal evidence tends to support the notion that more redos are being done — top plastic and cosmetic surgeons throughout the United States believe it is — it is impossible to know an actual number, because major medical associations don’t keep statistics on revision surgery.

New York plastic surgeon Andrew Jacono , whose expertise is often sought in the most difficult facial cosmetic surgery revision cases in the country, dedicates 35 percent of his practice to surgery on patients unhappy with results delivered by other doctors.

Jacono estimates that 10 percent of cosmetic surgeries in the United States are redos.

If Jacono’s estimate is on the mark, that would mean 1.7 million revision cosmetic surgeries are done each year.

Edwards, who stressed that even the best surgeons encounter complications in their work, now devotes more than half of his practice to revision surgery, largely to breast implant procedures.

He said a number of those are necessary because implants simply wear out.

Las Vegas plastic surgeon Stephen Gordon also noted that breast implants are expected to need "maintenance" every 10 years.

It is actually very possible for a woman who gets her first breast implants in her 20s to need five more implantations in her lifetime, according to data released by implant manufacturers.

One woman who had breast implants originally done on the East Coast and who recently had revision surgery done in Las Vegas said she had wanted to do it for years but the cost had held her back.

"My nipples weren’t the same height, and one breast was firm and the other squishy," the woman said.

A woman from Canada also came to Las Vegas for a redo of her breast implants. A redo by the original surgeon still had left her unsatisfied.

"My breasts were too far under my arms, so I didn’t have any cleavage," she said.

The total cost of her three surgeries was around $20,000, she said.

Both of the breast implant revision surgery patients had their redos done by Las Vegas cosmetic surgeon Samir Pancholi.

Though they asked for anonymity because they did not want people to know they had breast augmentation work done, both women said they are now happy with their revision procedures.

"Dr. Pancholi actually listened to what I wanted," the Canadian woman said.

Pancholi, who is a spokesman for the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, said it is not uncommon for revision surgery to cost more, because "it is more difficult than the original surgery."

"Often, you have to deal with a lot of scar tissue," he said.

Myint said has no doubt that Hollywood led the surge in plastic surgery throughout the country as Americans learned through the media that many of their favorite celebrities were players in the nip-tuck world.

Celebrities also have led the charge in having second thoughts about what they have had done, he said. Not all of them can have redos.

For instance, Priscilla Presley, former wife of Elvis, admits that a fake doctor, who went to prison for his unlicensed injections on several people,Atlas charm bracelet, injected her with the same industrial silicone used for greasing automobiles. Her face now is cratered and lumpy.

"Unfortunately, there’s nothing that can be done for that," Myint said. "You have to be very careful with the unscrupulous. I have had to try and work with a patient who also had industrial grade silicone injected. There was nothing I could do. I said the only thing that could be done is a full reconstruction, and I didn’t think she would be happy with the looks of that either."

Myint’s successful cosmetic facial surgery practice has earned him a spot as a regular contributor to the popular website Awfulplasticsurgery.com, which is marketed as having "the best of the worst celebrity plastic surgery."

"Let’s face it," he said. "People are interested in celebrities. I hope I can help them learn something from my input."

Myint said Angelina Jolie-inspired lip injections have resulted in far too many people taking away from their natural beauty.

On the awful plastic surgery website,pendants, he wrote about porn actress Jenna Jameson’s lip injections:

"Jenna clearly has the classic trout pout lips. She has broken the 70 percent anatomical rule. Not only are her upper lips larger than her lower lips (too aggressive augmentation with either filler or surgery near the wet/dry junction), but there is also loss of any evidence of a vermilion border. She also has no tapered look to her upper and lower lips. This sausage-like appearance indicates once again an aggressive approach along the outer corners of the lip."

Depending on the filler used, Myint said sausage lips often can be overcome.

If people are partly educated about plastic surgery by the kind of website that shares Myint’s observations, it is still difficult for the would-be patient to know which doctor’s work is the most successful.

Physicians are not required to disclose data about revisions of their work; nor do they have an incentive to do so.

Patients, well aware that they have chosen of their own free will to take part in elective procedures, are reluctant to file lawsuits that could give consumers a better sense of whose work frequently needs revision.

Taylor said most patients sign paperwork before procedures which reminds them that a good outcome is not guaranteed.

"You have to remember that beauty is subjective," she said.

A patient who recently contacted Edwards for breast implant revision surgery said no matter how much homework you do you still have to "make a leap of faith."

"Doctors will show you before and after pictures that have different lighting and might not even be their patients," said the woman, who spoke only on condition of anonymity. "Dr. Edwards looked into the background of my former doctor back East and found he was an emergency room doctor advertising himself as a cosmetic surgeon. You don’t think a doctor would lie, but they do. There’s just too much money involved. I have a hard time trusting them. They give you references of other patients, but you know they won’t give you a reference of someone they screwed up."

Dr. William Zamboni, chief of plastic surgery with the University of Nevada School of Medicine, said consumers should always check on a physician’s board certification to see if there has been formal training in plastic surgery.

A spokesman for the American Society of Plastic Surgery, Zamboni said the cases of revision plastic surgery that he handles generally involve medical tourism.

He said some Nevadans go to Mexico or Costa Rica because of price but then are dissatisfied with the results.

"Some of those surgeons are simply not qualified to do plastic surgery," Zamboni said. "And then a patient comes to me desperate for help and ends up paying double or triple what he would have paid in the first place."

Local physicians say it is important to remember that redos don’t always mean there has been a botched plastic surgery.

It is not unusual for some people to have several surgeries on the same feature — much like Michael Jackson did with his nose — as they strive to find what they believe to be the perfect look.

"If you do it too much, though, it can have serious consequences, just as it did with Michael," Gordon said. "A surgeon might want to refuse someone, but it’s hard when they know the patient is just going to go down the street and get it done."

Myint said surgeons have to constantly be on the lookout for individuals who want work done who suffer from a psychological disorder known as body dysmorphic disorder.

"No matter what you do they won’t be happy," Myint said. "Those people see flaws that do not exist."

Neither Zamboni nor Gordon said they have to do much revision surgery on the work of local plastic or cosmetic surgeons.

Gordon said the revision surgery he often does is the result of someone wanting to maintain the look they received as a result of surgery years before.

"In this economy," he said, "people aren’t getting as much new work, but they are maintaining what they have."

Zamboni said the present economy also makes it unlikely that people will go to doctors who take a few weekend courses and say they are plastic surgeons.

"As tough as times are, I think those doctors have been weeded out here," he said. "People are smart enough to want the most for their money."

That’s a far cry from 1996, when the image of plastic surgery in Las Vegas was at its nadir after 24-year-old Maria Wehr died after receiving a nose job at the office of Las Vegas plastic surgeon Alban Miller Jr.

While receiving anesthesia from Miller and an untrained assistant, she went into full respiratory arrest. Before she died, she lived for 55 days at University Medical Center in what authorities called "a chronic vegetative state.

The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners placed Miller on probation for three years and ordered him to do surgery only under the supervision of an anesthesiologist in a hospital or in an approved clinic setting.

Southern Nevadans are largely happy with cosmetic surgery done in Las Vegas, where statistics show that the most popular procedure is breast augmentation.

A 2004 local survey on health care found that plastic surgery was the only medical specialty that the majority of residents judged to be among the best in the nation.

A bartender whose breast implants were sagging with age just had her breasts redone by Pancholi. Happy with his work, she believes she knows why the local cosmetic surgery is done at a high level of expertise in Southern Nevada.

"Every woman I know has to have it in Las Vegas for her job," she said. "You’re simply not going to get tips from men if you don’t have good-size breasts for them to look at. So the plastic surgeons get a lot of practice here."

Yesterday, more than 70 people attended St Mary’s Church, in Gainford, to pay their respects to Marjorie Elliott, who died aged 74. The funeral was held onMrs Elliott’s birthday.

"The two words I feel say everything about her are ‘amazing’ and ‘a lady’, " he said.

"Amazing because of how she loved people. There are numerous people, including most of you here today, who would say at some point in their lives,watches, they have felt her warmth, kindness,earrings, strength, support and friendship.

"Amazing because of her family values. She was a devoted wife and an excellent mother. She was amother text books are written about.

"She was a lady – and being a lady is not about money or possessions, status or position, it is about respect,Beads necklace, belief and being an all-round good person – and that was my mother."

Mrs Elliott died peacefully on August 1, with her family by her side.

As well as her husband of 52 years and her children, Mrs Elliott leaves three grandchildren.
