A recent, voluntary survey of 1,000 patients (800 female and 200 male patients) revealed that 15% of women keep their surgery a secret from their families, 27% from friends and 78% from their colleagues. 22% of men keep their surgery a secret from their families, 52% from friends and 94% from colleagues.

Liz Dale, Director at The Harley Medical Group, said, "The majority of our patients are honest about their surgery - at least after they've had it done. Many patients will keep quiet in the lead up to their surgery and intend to keep it hidden but can't help revealing their secret when it comes to the unveiling of their new stomach or boobs. However, celebrities are a different matter altogether and if they've decided to keep their plastic surgery, botox or other cosmetic treatments under wraps they really keep quiet, or even outright deny it. Many patients at The Harley Medical Group have fed back to say they have a lot more respect for celebrities who are honest about having cosmetic procedures."

Angela Fry, who had breast augmentation at The Harley Medical Group, said, "After my fourth child my boobs were left shapeless and empty. Before the op I'd decided to only discuss the surgery with my husband and parents but when friends at my gym asked me how I'd regained my figure I felt I needed to share with them. I'm absolutely comfortable with the fact I had to give nature a helping hand."

However, a male patient commented that while he had received laser hair removal to his back, he hadn't told his friends or anyone at work. He admitted, "I worry that I'd lose some cred with my male associates if they knew I was having cosmetic treatments."

Liz Dale concluded, "It's not uncommon for people to keep it a secret before and during recovery then to spectacularly unveil their new look at a 'reveal party'. Non-surgical treatments are much easier to keep a secret because they don't leave such an obvious mark; however some patients do manage to keep their surgery hidden, from colleagues at least, explaining their absence from work on holidays or house renovations."

Bolstered by a brigade of brown-suited Santas and 102 years of experience, UPS (NYSE:UPS) is set to deliver another season of holiday magic.

UPS has circled Monday, Dec. 21, on the calendar as its busiest day of the year when the company anticipates delivering approximately 22 million packages worldwide. That's about a 40 percent increase over normal daily delivery volumes.

For the entire holiday peak season - stretching from Thanksgiving to Christmas - UPS will deliver approximately 400 million packages around the world, up slightly compared to the 2008 holiday season. And to support this holiday package volume spike, UPS expects to hire roughly 50,000 seasonal workers.

"Each holiday season, UPS delivers more packages than anyone in the world," said Alan Gershenhorn, UPS senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "Our customers know our shipping process is fast, easy and convenient and our team is dedicated to smoothly delivering the holidays."

UPS has a reliable and unmatched global network that does everything possible to ensure on-time delivery of holiday packages. Most UPS ground packages reach their destinations in three business days or less. Procrastinators can rely on UPS air services to ship as late as Wednesday, Dec. 23, for delivery on Thursday, Dec. 24.

To ensure on-time delivery during the holiday rush, UPS Airlines will fly more than 330 additional flights per day during Peak Week, the four days leading up to Friday, Dec. 25. The company's highest volume day for handling air express packages will be Wednesday, Dec. 23, when it will deliver more than 6 million air packages.

Once packages are in the UPS network, shippers can visit UPS.com to track their packages. UPS expects more than 35 million online package tracking requests on Tuesday, Dec. 22, the highest tracking day of the season.

From expert packing and shipping to self-serve options, UPS offers a variety of methods to help customers manage their holiday packages:

* Let Us Do The Packing. Shipping holiday packages is fast and convenient when customers enlist the specially trained and certified packing professionals at the nearly 4,800 The UPS Store® and Mail Boxes Etc.® locations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. And participating The UPS Store locations offer the Pack & Ship Promise where, if a participating location packs a customer's item, ships it via UPS and the item is damaged or lost in transit, the customer will be reimbursed for the item's value (subject to the lesser of actual value, replacement, or repair cost), the cost of packaging materials and service plus the shipping fee. Visit theupsstore.com for more details on the Pack & Ship Promise or to find your neighborhood location.

* Do It Yourself. UPS Internet Shipping enables do-it-yourselfers to choose service preferences, pay by credit card, print shipping labels and track packages. With a printed label affixed, a package can be handed to or picked up by a UPS driver, placed in one of 40,000 UPS drop boxes or dropped off at a UPS Customer Center, The UPS Store, Mail Boxes Etc. or other authorized shipping outlets. Shippers can visit UPS.com to verify the time-in-transit for each shipping destination.

For those on the go, UPS Mobile (m.ups.com) offers a suite of mobile shipping applications compatible with the most widely used mobile platforms, online browsers and devices, including the Apple iPhone®. In fact, UPS has just announced a new application for the iPhone that not only ships and tracks but also uses the phone's built-in GPS to direct users to the nearest UPS location.

Other than knowing the ins and outs of their insurance policy, the insurance consumer should also know the specific roles of the policyholder as well as the insurance provider. 'As a consumer, you should know that your policy is a contract that acts as an agreement that both you and your insurance company will act in 'good faith,'' the article, 'How Insurance Companies Operate,' states. 'That means it is your responsibility to know your policy inside and out so if you ever have to file a claim, it is for a specifically covered event. That way the claim process will go smoothly for both you and your insurance company.'

Insurance companies employ underwriters whose job it is to assess each applicant's risk and determine whether or not they are fit for coverage and at what price. Spreading risk and balancing independent losses is how insurance companies try to make a profit. The key is gaining more revenue from premiums than losing from successful claims.

According to the article, almost all adults need insurance of one form or another and most can't afford to not get the most out of what they're paying for. That is why insurance consumers should do whatever they can to be informed and educated so they can optimize the maximum benefits of their insurance policies.

Typical photo session locations include downtowns, parks, and back yards. 'If a high school senior has great memories spending time with friends in a local downtown district, it makes sense to take photographs there,' Arroyo notes. 'If a couple is celebrating their engagement, photographs can be taken at a familiar park or other special place.'

An important part of the photo service is processing of photographs after the photo session. 'The goal is for our photographs to have a timeless quality,' says Rod Arroyo. Black and white images are a significant component of the photographer's work. Considerable time is spent individually inspecting each image and processing it to provide the best quality result. Blemishes are retouched at no additional charge. The personal attention given, from high-end processing to the quality composition of the images, sets the final product apart from other traditional studios.

The portrait service of City Photos and Books, Inc. is priced using a simple, easy-to-understand approach. There is no forceful salesperson pressuring clients to buy packages they don't need. The photo experience is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable.

For senior portraits, students from the following high schools are expected to be part of our initial coverage area: Birmingham Seaholm High School, Birmingham Groves High School, Bloomfield Hills Andover High School, Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School, Brother Rice High School, Cranbrook, Detroit Country Day School, Farmington Harrison High School, Farmington High School, International Academy, Marian High School, North Farmington High School, Novi High School, Rochester Adams High School, Rochester High School, Rochester Stoney Creek High School, Roeper School, Southfield High School, Southfield-Lathrup High School, Troy Athens High School, Troy High School, Royal Oak High School, and West Bloomfield High School. Many additional locations will be included.

City Photos and Books, Inc. was established in 2000 and has published eight books of photography featuring downtown areas including Birmingham, Royal Oak, Rochester, and more. The firm's city photography features fine art photographs that capture the buildings, landscapes, and other elements that make downtowns a special place to be. Rod Arroyo is the company's principal photographer.

The way debt consolidation works is that all the high interest debts, such as credit cards, are put together into a lump sum. A loan is then made, at a much lower interest rate that provides the funds to pay off the credit cards in full. Instead of several payments each month that do not even begin to touch the principal amount of debt, the person now has one payment each month that covers the interest and a portion of the principal.

Some debt consolidation lenders also offer consumer credit counseling services to help consumers learn how to avoid falling into the same trap again. Helping consumers get themselves out of debt is the number one goal of DebtConsolidation123.

Often, banks do not take the time to go over the different mortgage options available to their clients. Instead, they present the loan package that will result in the highest profit for the bank. Some consumers will accept this as the best means of financing their home without question, but many would prefer to look at other loan options and determine which will be best for them in the long run.

This is where bond originators come in. By acting as liaisons between consumers and banks, bond originators can talk to several banks at the same time and gather information about the mortgage loans available. They, then, sit down with their clients and explain each of the loan offers and how they will affect the customers in the long term as well as the short. In this manner, consumers are educated about the various types of mortgages available and how to obtain them.

There are times when debt consolidation is the best possible option for dealing with high interest debts, such as credit cards. There are also times when consolidation may not be the best answer. Consolidation of credit card debt is viewed by some rare individuals as carte blanche to go out and max out the cards again. In other cases, a consolidation loan may simply not be the least expensive way to get out from under these debts.

A free debt consolidation assessment can take a look at your financial situation and your willingness to stop using the credit cards to determine if debt consolidation is the right solution for you. If it proves to be the best solution, the people at InstantDebtConsolidation.com stand ready to assist in getting a consolidation loan with lower interest rates and a lower monthly payment to make it easier to live within your means.

'Libby's has always been committed to helping families enjoy affordable, great-tasting meals and time together around the table. With many families struggling to put food on the table, this virtual canned food drive that makes helping the less fortunate easier than ever,' commented Bruce Wolcott, Vice President of Marketing, Seneca Foods Corporation.

Businesses will approach Elite Ghostwriters to hire a freelance writer and a team of professionals to implement the whole ebook business solution.

In order to sell online, businesses need a website, sales copy, payment method, marketing material and a landing page.

"Hiring a professional freelance writer is essential for creating a quality product that will sell well online. But we offer much more than that. We provide businesses with the turnkey solution," explained Cheng.

The major difference with their ghostwriting services according to Cheng, was that businesses no longer had to deal with several parties to implement the product and get it up and running.

"We will provide a complete solution so that everything is done for our clients. As well as writing the ebook, our team will design a website, write the sales copy, write the marketing material and offer advice in online promotion. We offer much more than a freelance writer," Cheng remarked.

Chairman and CEO Scott Davis was joined by members of the UPS Board of Directors and senior executives in launching the trading day on Friday. Davis is the 10th chairman and CEO in UPS's 102-year history but only the third to spend time guiding the affairs of a "public" UPS.

UPS, founded as a Seattle messenger service in 1907 by a 19-year-old named Jim Casey, was owned privately by employees, retirees and various foundations until Nov. 10, 1999. On that day, UPS issued 109.4 million Class B shares representing 10 percent of the company's outstanding shares at an IPO price of $50 per share.

At the time, the $5.47 billion raised on that day was the largest domestic IPO ever. Over the ensuing 10 years, public ownership of UPS has grown from 10 percent of the company's stock to 70 percent.

"The IPO marked another milestone in our 102-year history that allowed us to lever our financial strength to expand our business," said Davis, noting UPS now offers a broad range of logistics, supply chain, freight, customs brokerage, financial and retail services.

"I firmly believe that going public facilitated execution of UPS's strategy to become the leading global transportation solutions provider," he added. "UPS is better positioned today than at any time in its history."
