Erica and Bryan met a little over 4 years ago in one of my favorite couples stories. He lived in the apartment directly below hers and she went downstairs to ask him to turn down his TV. He answered the door and they both liked each other immediately. He turned down his TV and she went back upstairs. Before the night was through, she was back downstairs knocking on his door to ask him out. They've been together ever since and now, they are getting married in less than a week! I was thrilled to do an engagement shoot with Erica and Bryan. Not only are they friends of mine, but they are a really fun couple and genuinely enjoy being together. I knew that this would shine through in all of their photos. I figured that the best way to represent them as a couple would be to spend the day with them doing what they normally do- hanging out in Boston. We started in the South End and walked through the Boston Common all the way to the North End. We had a lovely time together and I think the pictures came out really great! To check out the best of the best, click here.
I would like to extend a personal congrats to the happy couple and a thank you for being so awesome throughout the shoot! This was my 1st attempt at engagement photos and they made it very easy! I hope these photos document the start of a wonderful life together. XO

You start generating income in a completely new way, and you use that income to support a new lifestyle with new spending habits, which can continue to change as your retirement goes on - so how do you plan for all of this change?
We believe it's about forward thinking and careful planning around your unique goals.
You may not be able to predict everything about your retirement, but you can certainly make plans that can adapt to changing circumstances. When we define your cash flow strategies, we incorporate a degree of flexibility for just this purpose.
As a retiree, you have many opportunities to save tax that are often missed. You may have just sold a business or started collecting a pension, but if your personal cash flow strategy is aligned with smart tax planning, then you can make the most of your retirement income.
Your wealth may be well-preserved and risk-managed, but what about your estate? Successfully meeting your legacy goals means protecting your estate from unnecessary taxes, legal liabilities, or other risks that could stand in the way of the distributions you have planned for your family wealth.
We believe this requires an in-depth knowledge of your financial needs and goals, as well as the ability to coordinate strategies through tax and legal specialists. In this way we're able to help our retired clients fully protect their wealth and fully enjoy their retirement.
Transferring an estate is one of the biggest concerns for successful retirees today. When you've done all you can to grow your wealth efficiently, you want to know that everything is in place to transfer it efficiently, too.
Many of our clients have built up their wealth with certain goals in mind, like supporting family or community causes, and the resources we've built up over the years allow us to:

I struggle a lot with self compassion, and I'm sure a lot of other people do as well. Its mainly due to a constant fear of becoming arrogant or conceited from too much self compassion (if that's how it even work lol).
The problem is that every time i become upset/feel down and try to cheer myself up, I'll always think that someone somewhere has it worse than me, and that my problems and struggles are irrelevant and miniscule compared to theirs, and I stop myself. At this point, I have no clue at all how to practice self compassion. Sure, I'll stare into the mirror and tell myself "yes, you can do it" but those words just feel empty and repetitive.
p.s. Should I go see a therapist? I've thought about it, but I feel like if I tried to go see one, I would be wasting precious time that could be well-spent on other patients that need more help than me.

Microsoft put another piece of its enterprise server puzzle in place Thursday when it released Exchange 2000 to manufacturing.
Company officials signed off on Build 4417.5 of the server messaging platform at 9:19 a.m. PST, a source close to the company said. Microsoft representatives confirmed that Exchange 2000 had been released to manufacturing.
Originally expected to be available to customers in August, Exchange 2000 now is part of the Redmond, Wash.-based company's "Enterprise 2000" rollout, scheduled for Sept. 26 in San Francisco.
At that event, Microsoft President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer will detail all seven of the company's enterprise servers: SQL Server 2000, Exchange 2000 Server, Application Center 2000, Host Integration Server 2000, Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000, Commerce Server 2000, and BizTalk Server 2000. Most of those products either will be available in the channels or will have been released to manufacturing, by Sept. 26.
Some analysts have stated that many customers have been waiting for the servers to be released before they undertake the deployment of Windows 2000, which shipped back in February.

Tracking microscale targets in soft tissue using implantable probes is important in clinical applications such as neurosurgery, chemotherapy and in neurophysiological application such as brain monitoring. In most of these applications, such tracking is done with visual feedback involving some imaging modality that helps localization of the targets through images that are co-registered with stereotaxic coordinates. However, there are applications in brain monitoring where precision targeting of microscale targets such as single neurons need to be done in the absence of such visual feedback.

New Releases and Reviews
(Picture 1)
I decided I'm just going to knock out all the stories that aren't LitRPG at the beginning of the program this week.
The Wizard (Dungeon Core Book 1)
My Opinion: 246 pages, $4.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
Not LitRPG. It is a dungeon story, eventually. About 25% into it you get some dungeon master stuff. But the story is straight fantasy. No game mechanics or any kind of progression system. Instead everything done by the dungeon is just explained away by 'magic' with no explanation of how it works.
Only something like 30% is actually about a dungeon and even then it's not a great dungeon master story. The Divine Dungeon, Slime Dungeon Chronicles, A Futuristic Dungeon Core. All much better dungeon master stories.
No review score since the novel doesn't claim to be a LitRPG story, instead saying it was inspired by old school RPGs.
The Wizard (Dungeon Core Book 1)
My Opinion: 151 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
-Author of Soul Linked Origin and the World at War Online series
No game RPG mechanics, not LitRPG. Story set in a virtual sci fi universe where people have uploaded their minds for a kind of immortality. The only game mechanic is the respawn system. Everything else is straight cyberpunk sci fi.
You could have gotten to the same place with mind uploads and clones like Takeshi Kovac in Altered Carbon.
No bad score. Not advertising as LitRPG. Just showing up in LitRPG search results on amazon.
The LitRPG series that will make you scratch your head, then say "this is awesome!"
The year 2067: Obesity becomes the #1 killer of humanity. People are dying younger than ever, and doctors are powerless to stop the pandemic. The only salvation is an experimental treatment—a virtual RPG called Moderation Online, where patients live in a fantasy kingdom with vegetable NPCs that subconsciously teach humans how to make better choices in life.
Kendall Barnes is the newest entrant in this idyllic world. African-American, obese, diabetic, and a survivor of a heart attack, the game is his last chance at a normal life.
But as doctors download him into the game, hackers inject a virus into the world—an evil civilization of processed foods whose sole goal is to destroy everything in the game by brainwashing humans and slaughtering vegetables. Kendall falls under their spell.
When game developers introduce a patch to challenge the virus—a group of terrorist vegetables who fight back against the processed foods—Kendall finds himself in the middle of an epic food fight when the vegetables take him hostage. But he questions everything when he discovers that maybe the vegetables aren't the bad guys after all.
Food City is the first book in Michael La Ronn's Moderation Online LitRPG series, inspired by Final Fantasy and JRPGs. With a fast-paced story, fun characters, and lots of action, Moderation Online is mouthwateringly cool.
My Opinion: 225 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
The author is upfront about this novel not having RPG mechanics, or game mechanics in the front of the novel. Which means it's not LitRPG, which is unfortunate because this could be a weird gem otherwise. There are plenty of places where levels, XP, and vegetable power ups could have made this a LitRPG. The author even says he was inspired by Final Fantasy and JRPGs which I could sort of see story wise but definitely not game mechanics wise, since there aren't any.
The story is neat and combines VR therapy with the fight against obesity and over lifestyle diseases related to bad food choices. I can certainly appreciate where this story came from in the authors life and he explains it at the end of the novel. Anthropomorphised Veggies versus Junk Food in a kind of food class warfare. Still not LitRPG though.
Score: 4 out of 10
Food City (Moderation Online Book 1)
--Actual LitRPG stories ---
Fantasy Online Polynya: A LitRPG Saga
The Mitherfickers are back and ready to bring the fight to the Shinigami.
But before they can do that, they need an audience with the Knights of Non Compos Mentis, the most powerful guild in Tritania. Luckily for them, Ryuk used to be a member of the famed guild, and to get to the guild headquarters, they'll need to level up and figure out a way into a city heightened tight security.
Along their journey to Polynya, the second floating continent of Tritania, the Mitherfickers are joined by a high elf, whose village is being terrorized by a big bad wolf.
High jinks and violence ensues as they attempt to rid the village of this wolf, the results of which end up opening their guild to new members from a different Proxima world, something Hiccup the goblin isn't too happy about.
Things heat up after the motley guild adventure through the catacombs beneath the city of Porthos, where they are framed for attempted murder and placed in the Empress' dungeon. With no way out, one of the Mitherfickers reveals a secret the likes of which will change the guild's standing in Tritania forever.
In Tokyo, evil Kodai gets a new android and plans his revenge against his younger brother, Ryuk. He also plots his revenge within the online world of Tritania, guiding the new members of the Shinigami as they wreak havoc on the city of Porthos.
Level up, recruit, loot and scoot. Fantasy Online Polynya has all the comedy, mayhem, intrigue, crazy fun characters, and epic world-building you've come to expect from this popular LitRPG series!
My Opinion: 422 pages, $5.98, Available on Kindle Unlimited
An easy review. This novel is as entertaining, funny, and action packed as the first. With the group reeling at sudden and unexpected betrayal at the end of book 1. Ryuk his team mates work to get to the next island Polynya and try to figure out what's happening with the main character's doppelganger. If you liked book 1, book 2 has more of the same crazy antics.
I will note that I really like the audiobook version of this series more than the e-book version. The narrator, Jeff Hays, adds another level of humor with his voice work.
Score: 7 out of 10
Fantasy Online Polynya: A LitRPG Saga
Accidental Warrior: A LitRPG Accidental Traveler Adventure
An Old Friend in Need, A Fantasy Game World, and a Reluctant Hero
Hal Dix had success at home after his initial outing into the world of Fantasma. He leveled up in both his job and at home. Everything was going fine in his life.
Then, the mage Tildi, the Elder showed up again with news from the other world. His friend was in trouble and only he could help. Hal didn't want to be a hero, but he wasn't the sort of fellow to leave a comrade behind.
Whisked away to the game world of Fantasma once again, Hal enters the role of the reluctant hero he thought he'd left behind.
My Opinion: 347 pages, $4.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
This is a streamlined version of book 1, The Accidental Thief. It hits most of the same plot points, just more efficiently. Instead of a long intro and setup the author has the main character in the fantasy world by the 7% mark and on the road to adventure by the 14% mark.
The main character is reset on both a personal level and game level. Once he's summoned back to the fantasy world, he loses access to all the power he gained as a master thief and instead starts over as with the warrior class. I assume the same will happen with book 3 when he becomes an accidental mage.
It's not a bad story or anything, it just hits a lot of the same notes as book 1. If you liked that book you'll like this one and you might even like it more. I did.

Accidental Warrior: A LitRPG Accidental Traveler Adventure
The Greystone Chronicles: Book One: Io Online
In the latter half of the 21st century, Alexander and his guild mates play Io Online for fun and to earn a living. It's the largest VRMMORPG on the planet, and the source of income that supports families around the globe. While completing a rare "First Kill" dungeon in hopes of epic loot, they discover that demons, who have not been seen in the realm for ages, have once again invaded Io.
Given the chance to test a new experimental immersion system, the friends must give up their high level characters and begin again at level one. As they work through the noob zone quests, they discover that the new immersion system allows them to play in ways that hadn't been possible before. Casting is faster. Movement more fluid. Even magic itself behaves differently.
They quickly run afoul of a party of player killers, and become the targets of an entire PK guild bent on spawn camping them until they leave the game. War has been declared.
The fight expands into populated areas, where innocent citizens are murdered, and player accounts are terminated. The guild works to help citizens rebuild what has been destroyed, but are repeatedly forced to stop and defend against enemy attacks.
After the gods of Io and a powerful being of darkness get involved, Alexander and his friends learn the hard way that their in-game actions have consequences, both in the game, and in the real world.
My Opinion: 650 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
*Full disclosure got advanced review copy, I bought the novel as soon as it became available.
Additionally, the author is a Patreon Supporter for the podcast. I'd honestly forgotten he was until I was posting an episode of the podcast. It's one of those cases of a LitRPG fan becoming a LitRPG author. His Patreon support has no bearing on the review. If the novel sucked I'd still say so.
-As a matter of fact an author once tried to buy a good review from me by becoming a Patreon Supporter and I had to ban the guy.*
The authors debut novel is entertaining but has some issues that slow the story down sometimes.
The story starts off in an action scene with the main character (MC), Alexander, playing the world's most popular VRMMO with his three friends. The author does a good job of introducing RPG mechanics from the very first pages of the novel. From there novel spends the first 25% of the novel developing real world backstory, world building, planting story threads, and justifying why the MC and his friends will be spending the rest of the novel in game, long term.
From the 25% on, the majority of the story takes place in-game with only occasional drops back into the real world. The MC and his friends go on adventures, use their new full immersion rigs to develop some great skills in game, and use intelligent tactics to beat foes both PK and NPC. In addition to dungeon diving, there's a little crafting, town building, magical theory, and PVP action.
One of the true highlights of the novel are the combat scene. They're particularly interesting, not because they're visceral, but because the author describes some truly great tactics. The MC and his group take on opponents consistently higher level than themselves, but instead of using some 'magic sword of unbeatableness' they instead combine their skills in intelligent ways to create powerful combos. This intelligent exploitation of game mechanics reminds me of the magic and combat system of Divinity Original Sin, where combining different magical abilities creates effects more powerful than their individual parts.
There are also some very very funny scenes. I won't spoil them but who knew rabbits could be so vicious and simultaneously funny. I'm also a huge fan of the funny character Fibble and only wish he's been introduced sooner in the novel. Pew Pew.
However, not everything in the novel is perfect. Which is to be expected of a first novel. This is a monster of a story. Over 650 pages. When faced with a novel that big, it's sheer size can be intimidating. There are also a number of scenes in the story that are quite simply unnecessary. I'm not saying they're poorly written or uninteresting, they just don't move the plot forward and instead slow the story down.
Two examples.
Midstory, the novel cuts away from the story to a historical recounting of making real world money from playing MMOs. The author describes gold farming, various ways players sell gear, power level other players characters, and a slew of other similar options. He then goes on to describe the way game companies have dealt with these practices and forced them into the black market and how this game company decided to allow players to make real world money apart of their game. There are even math models described. Really interesting stuff but it also takes up 3% of the novel or 18 pages of the story.
Another example of this are the many small scenes where there is character development for NPC character instead of the main characters. There's an early scene with a head guard and his alchemist wife that is the earliest example of this. But a better example happens later in the story when the King, for no apparent reason, decides to visit a town the MC and his friends are helping to rebuild. It's a cute scene that shows exactly how great a king he his and how much he cares about the wellbeing of his people. But it also takes up another 3% of the novel or 18 pages. There's not that much story devoted to some of the main characters in the story, so why spend it on a side character?
There are more examples but in total I marked an easy 100 pages that could have been edited out to improve the pacing of the story and get to the great action or humor scenes.
Overall, this is a good story and even the things I mentioned aren't complaints as much as they are things I thought could be improved. There are lots of things I enjoyed about the story. Some very funny scenes. Good intelligent fights. Good characters.

The Greystone Chronicles: Book One: Io Online
Sphiel's Song (A LitRPG Virtual Fantasy Adventure)
Three years ago, a bright and vibrant Mandy Sutherland looked forward to life – ready to take on the world after graduating high school with top honors and gaining acceptance to a great college. However, on graduation night, the world went hazy and she passed out. After awakening in a hospital, doctors told her that she had a severe medical condition that would render her unable to function in social situations.
Now, she lives secluded in her room, looked after by her little sister, Natalie, and her father. Although working with her psychiatrist, Dr. Braun, to combat her severe anxiety, time has produced no breakthroughs. During one of their online sessions, Dr. Braun suggests an experimental type of therapy – using Virtual Reality to simulate social situations. Seeing no other options, Mandy agrees.
Mandy finds she can function in "Unexplored", a fantasy VRMMORPG, where she takes on the role of Sphiel, a beautiful elf woman living in the Wilderwood. During her adventures, she makes friends, uncovers mystical secrets, and combats great enemies. However, even as she grows, she wonders if she can face her greatest enemy of all – herself.
Warning: This book contains erotic content. Reader discretion is advised.
My Opinion: 273 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
*This novel contains graphic sex scenes*
A stand alone story in the Unexplored universe.
Mandy has a phobia about leaving her house after a sudden panic attack when she graduated high school. Three years later she's still visiting a psychologist, who tries to help her. Suggests using VR as a way to train her brain that going outside is ok.
Definitely my least favorite in the series. The idea of using VR as a type of therapy is neat. But that's not what this ends up being.
There's no therapy. Just a woman that logs into Unexplored, kills a bunch of goblins, and other monster. The sex really seems out of place in this one too. Especially if all this is supposed to be in the name of therapy.
The action in the story isn't bad. It's just that, aside from the premise, I feel like I've read this story from the author before. Person had issue, goes into game and issue is solved through adventuring and sex.
Additionally, part of my dissatisfaction with the story is likely due to comparison to another LitRPG story that has VR therapy in it too. Continue Online. That series is very different from this one but does the VR therapy thing a lot better.

Sphiel's Song (A LitRPG Virtual Fantasy Adventure)
In the real world, it's 2027 and disgruntled, lone-wolf data analyst Adam Harker works for a corporation he hates.
In this dystopian future many seek to lose themselves in virtual reality games, but Adam is dead set against playing Darkworlds, designed by mega-corporation Miskatonic Games, until he's tempted by two quite different people for two wholly different reasons.
In the game, it's 1927 and Adam Harker is in London battling against the minions of Cthulhu, but then come hints and suggestions that something else stirs, something wicked and secret, something new, rising up and replicating itself within the code and taking on the form of ageless evil.
Hidden knowledge leads Adam through a series of terrifying revelations as he searches from London to Glastonbury and into the Dreamlands.
Join Adam as he fights to save his friends, and maybe even the world itself, from the horrors that lurk in the game.

My Opinion: 348 pages, $2.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
The cover art for this novel does not do it justice. I've read a few LitRG stories that attempt to combine a period piece setting and/or use a Lovecraft theme. This is the best one that I've read so far.
The game mechanics aren't hidden, rather both the reader and player learn about them in the first few pages of the story. Specific stats like health and mana are there but so are Lovecraft game ones like sanity and reputation. Additionally, the story takes a note out of tabletop experiences and part of character creation involves creating a backstory for your character that determines the type of profession the character can have. Trainable skills provide a wide variety of character builds as the characters gain levels and skill points to spend. You can have a priest with healing powers and gun specialization or a Private Eye with a knowledge of ancient artifacts and german. The combos are endless.
Whenever you write in a specific time period your risk losing the interest of anyone not into that time period. Thankfully, there are more than enough supernatural elements in the story to make this feel like a 1920's London urban fantasy vibe. The Lovecraft elements are there in spades and even bleed into the real life parts of the story.
The real life parts of the story are the least interesting part of the novel but that doesn't mean they're boring. That part is set in 2027 London and there are themes of dystopian corporate exploitation as what happens in the game effects real life, including death and loss of sanity.
Overall, a really good story that does a great job incorporating game mechanics into a creepy Lovecraft story.

Darkworlds London: A Cthulhu LitRPG

However, such things get hopelessly derailed when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the first time. A fateful meeting that would inevitably lead his life in a direction he never even dreamed of!

My Opinion: 251 pages, $3.99, Not Available on Kindle Unlimited
Full disclosure: The author sent me an advanced copy for review. I've already pre-ordered the published version.
Originally written on the Royal Road, this fan favorite is now available as a full e-book. The author notes that e-book version has the first 3 arcs of the series, cleaned up grammar and spelling errors, and the lewd scenes were toned down.
This one seems to be controversial. People either love this story or hate it. It's a story told from the monster's perspective. The monster in this instance being a mimic imitating a treasure chest. Follow his adventures as he lives in his dungeon, kills adventurers, and levels up. There's lots of sexual innuendo but little actual sexual content which can be found at the 46%, 58%, and 63% marks. In total it's only really a handful of sentences and is easy to skip over.
For me, it was entertaining to read about a monster leveling up and gaining new skills/powers by munching on some adventurers.

Full disclosure: The author sent me an advanced copy for review.
Before this novel even came out it already had a negative reputation because of the original novel description matched one for another LitRPG novel, Viridian Gate Online, to a startling degree. The author has since changed the description of both this novel and the next one in the series.
However, people had some concerns whether this novel is plagiarizing Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm (VGO). So, I did something I don't normally do. I asked the author for an advanced review copy. She sent it to me about a week before the novel was scheduled to be released.
I went into this review trying to be fair and I truly hoped the novel was only inspired by VGO. But from the first page you can see the similarities to that story.
Let me be clear, this is not word for word copy. The author carefully re-words each sentence, likely to avoid setting off automated plagiarism checkers. She changes everyone's name and often their gender. But all the plot points in the story are the same. Paragraph by paragraph the same ideas are conveyed. Even the jokes are copied.
There are a few places early in the story that are exceptions. The character creation section (6.62-8.27%) has race selections that bear only peripheral similarities to VGO and there are character sheets included for each race.
Another exception is a scene from 10.4-12.6% mark, which is instead a rip from Ascend Online (4% mark of that story). After character creation the main character (MC), is dropped in game and finds herself immediately fighting off a green monster. She's then given a quest to defend a town from more green monsters. Shortly after she is knocked out and wakes up in a prison putting the story back on track with VGO where the MC escapes thanks to a thief character that becomes her NPC companion.
From there on the story is a paragraph by paragraph re-worded copy of Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm. Here are a few examples of how the author changed proper names, re-worded sentences but kept the same ideas and plot points. These are just samples but just about every paragraph of the entire novel is like this.
VGO 14% --Awakens the Shadow Spark
"My time is short," the old woman rasped, blinking her eyes open, complete exhaustion evident in every line of her frail body. "But let me offer you one more parting gift—a final thanks for your mercy. Within you, boy, is the Shadow-Spark."
Her hand lashed out, uncannily quick, and latched onto my arm. "I'll awaken it inside of you." Her fingers pressed down into my skin like drill bits, her flesh growing cool, then downright cold. Arctic, even. Icy power soaked through my skin, into my bones, and spread through my body like wildfire. Running along my nerve endings, my body shivering, my teeth clattering in response.
Nemesis 20.4% -- Awakens her Flow
"My time has come," the Feralmancer gasped, opening her eyes. "Let me leave you with one more thing, you will need it to reach Septemvittata. A final gift for your aid, inside of you is a touch of the Flow." She jolted to the side.
She reached out firmly grasped both of my wrists. "I will awaken the Flow inside of you." She raked her nails across the skin on my left wrist. The wound was immediately filled with heat, fire that seeping through my skin into my veins, into my bones, and spreading rampant through my body.
VGO 29% A talking Tree
The tree, labeled as a [Hamadryad], had a face on it. And not just some crude picture carved into the bark. No, an actual face protruded from the white bark: a bulbous nose of knotted wood, deep-set chestnut-brown eyes, a thin gash of a mouth framed by mossy facial hair. "You make me sick, all of you," the tree bellowed in an earthy voice. "Why can't you leave my forest in peace!" His mossy beard fluttered as he hollered. "You come in here and spread your rot around, corrupt my brothers with your presence. A pox on you, on all of you."
Nemesis 38.47% A talking Cactus
The cactus, labeled as [Ancient Arbola], had a face. It was a real face like mine, protruding from its smooth green surface. It had bright yellow eyes, and a nose comprised from needles and large bright red lips. "You all make me sick," the cactus bellowed in a low voice. "Leave my desert, leave me alone!" the Ancient Arbola yelled. "You come into my desert, spreading your disease to my brethren. Take your corrupt presence elsewhere! Go away you nasty vermin!"
VGO: 94% A god's interest
"So how do I fit in?"
"You are a loophole. All players are. You can do what you want, shape and reshape the world according to the designs of your hearts, and Enyo is exploiting this loophole—she is using Robert Osmark and his pawns. They will be her weapon. And you and your friends? You will be mine. Initially, I planned for Abby to lead my forces. She was supposed to get the seal and use it to conquer Rowanheath, but things worked out differently than I imagined. Such is the reality of dealing with your kind. You ended up with the seal, and now you have an opportunity to use it."
Nemesis 99% A different named god's interest
"So, what do you think I can do?"
"You are the tipping point. All humans are. You do not have limits like we do, you can follow your hearts. Anya is exploiting Albert Pangen, using him and his supporters as weapons wielded against me. You, and your friends will be mine. Originally, I thought with Ryan's knowledge of Panguardia that he would be the driving force behind my weapon, but things have taken a turn of their own. That is the nature of your being, and you have the Spirit Soul. You alone can seize the opportunity."
Truly, if you've read Viridian Gate Online, you've read this novel. It astounds me how someone could do something like this. It took so much time and effort to reword things, it would have been easier to write another novel.

Buying Hydrolyzed Collagen by itself will give you benefits
With the improvement of individuals's age, the collagen content of the body begins to fall as well as people start experiencing the indicators of collagen deficiency. As a result of this, join flexibility drops, the skin begins sagging and also creases begin appearing. Also muscles deteriorate. There are various supplements out there that take care of the diminishing degrees of vitamins as well as nutrients in our physical body. collagen supplements function similarly.
Collagen supplements are typically highlighted for their ability to turn around the aging process, but for lots of people, it assists in reducing joint discomfort and also raising movement. As a result one can see that collagen supplements have a range of advantages for which they are used. Commonly, starting to take the supplement at the right time can work as an alternative to surgical treatments such as the ones done for joint substitute.
You in fact have a number of various other far better choices despite the factor you wish to take a collagen supplement-- whether it is for your joint health and wellness, for weight loss, for bodybuilding, or for simply improving your skin's appearance and also health. Below are a few of the far better options to Collagen supplements.
Collagen is one of several major healthy proteins that consist of the skin's connective tissue. Taking a collagen supplement for skin health and wellness is rather questionable. This is simply since when you take a collagen supplement, your digestive system will break down the protein right into part. After that, the amino acids go into the bloodstream, and also from there, they are made use of in those locations of the physical body where they are substantially needed, and also it isn't consistently the skin.
Reclaim Your Youthful Skin
Collagen is your body's all-natural support for your skin. Like layers of elastic netting, collagen keeps your skin tight and wrinkle-free. At least 70 % of the second layer of skin (the "dermis") is made from collagen. As you age, this collagen breaks down as well as the "dermis" layer of your skin comes to be weak and also thinner, showing up as wrinkles as well as saggy skin.
Recover Your Joints
Collagen is movement. It remains in every joint of your body, supplying the cushioning and assistance for all motion as well as activity. Without collagen, your bones had grind against each other, which is just how you may really feel sometimes. This is since as your physical body ages, your collagen breaks down and deteriorates, causing joint discomfort and tightness. Collagen Total additionally has various synergistic ingredients for skin, hair and also joints.
Hydrolyzed Collagen is the best kind of collagen for human perks. It is likewise the most expensive, yet you spend for top quality and bio-availability. Research studies have shown the difference in absorption in between collagen and hydrolyzed collagen being practically 5 times far better for hydrolyzed collagen. Within 6 hours 90 % of hydrolyzed collagen is discovered in the cells all over the body while just 27 % for collagen. The very reduced molecular weight of hydrolyzed collagen in comparison to jelly is what makes it much more absorbable by the physical body.
The amount of daily consumption of Hydrolyzed Collagen showed to be reliable is 10,000 mg, this suggests 20 capsules a day if you have 500 MG pills. If you include various other important nutrients you could be occupying to 30 capsules a day. The powder option of one scoop for 14,000 mg of vital skin as well as joint nutrients that our company offer with Collagen Total is a lot more convenient. So if you see a supplement in pills recommending just a couple of capsules a day, do not buy it.

Deciding to Decide
From choosing new shoes for the children to buying a new phone, to dinner plans to travel plans, there is no avoiding decision making. Go to the store to buy some salad, then washing detergent and then a bottle of shampoo. By the time you've chosen all 3 you would have looked through over 300 products – no wonder we get dizzy making decisions !
Day to day life does require a sizeable amount of decisions to be made. So here's a basic decision making guide :
Making decisions can be grueling if you're already having a rough day, there will be times when you will need to save your brain cells and your sanity and decide not to decide.
There are certain decisions that you want to be meticulous over, such as choosing doctors, hospitals and vacations. Many other decisions can be ' pass-fail', determine right away the level of time and energy is needed so you don't over research each decision.
Morning time is preferable for multi-layer decision making when your mind is clearer
Outsource the decision altogether by asking some-one else how they navigated a scenario similar to yours. Consider asking friends, googling a possible answer or if appropriate even posting a question on Facebook.
The more systems you have in place the less you'll have to use the decision making part of your brain. So go ahead and plan your menus, get your clothes organized ahead of time and have a consistent date night, the fewer decisions you need to make the better.
That's my decision and I'm standing by it.

First of all, give yourself a big hug for taking the beginning steps and seeking knowledge to improve your health! I know what it feels like to be sick and tired of being...sick and tired. Today's typical American diet and lifestyle ends up leading most with a list of illnesses and prescriptions to treat only the symptoms.
Through my journey into health and nutrition, I've developed a compassion so big I can't help but share it with you. I'm an advocate of treating the entire body as a system and not just the symptoms. Food is not just energy, its information. Therefore everything we put into out bodies on a daily basis is either feeding disease or healing it. Bottom line is.. health, vitality, energy and appearance are all a result of what information we feed ourselves with. I'm here to give you hope and answers so you can live a more vibrant and healthy lifestyle.
You've come to the right place to begin!
Here you will find meal plans, recipes, health guidance, yoga, exercise info, and a peek into some of my adventures... all while learning to live a healthy lifestyle!
By following my advice and programs for a Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle you will not only increase your energy, be able to do more of what you love, but have more to give and be more productive.
You might even feel like a whole new you!
Nothing is better than feeling good... all the time!. The quality of life you're living may even be, "okay" in your terms, but from experience I can tell you that you have no idea how good you're designed to feel until you start taking charge of your health.
One day or day one, you decide.

When Sony announced its RX100 pro compact last month, we ogled over the wide f/1.8 aperture, made possible largely in part by its spacious 1-inch sensor. But Samsung just raised the stakes a little with its EX2F, which somehow manages a f/1.4 aperture combined with only a 1/1.7-inch sensor (that's the same sized sensor as the S100!)
In addition to a 12.4-megapixel CMOS Sensor, the EX2F has a 24mm lens, full manual controls, an ISO range of 80-3200, a 3-inch AMOLED display, RAW support, Wi-Fi, and the ability to shoot 1080p video at 30 FPS. It's even lighter than its predecessor, the EX-1 (294 grams vs 356 grams). Expect to see this premium compact in stores sometime around August for around the £350 mark. [Samsung]

This article or section contains lore taken from Warcraft novels or short stories.
Sheldaris was a red-haired high elf ranger who served under Sylvanas Windrunner's command during the Third War. She was one of the three scouts sent to investigate the Scourge army, the other two being Kelmarin and Vor'athil. While Kelmarin returned to Sylvanas to inform her about the approaching army, she and Vor'athil had waited for Sylvanas to come with the bulk of the rangers.[1] (RotLK #?)
She was killed during the first struggle with the Scourge.[1] (RotLK #?)

The feed will be live:

When God Finds the Guilty (Jonah 1:7-10; John 18:28-40)/
God meets you with grace in your guilt.
I. God's Choosing (1:7-8)
A. Divine Casting (1:7; cf. Exodus 20:16, Leviticus 19:17-18, Proverbs 16:33)
B. Good Detectives (1:8)
II. Jonah's Confession (1:9)
A. Jonah, the Hebrew (1:9; cf. Genesis 40:15)
B. YHWH, the Creator (1:9; cf Genesis 1:1)
III. The Sailors' Charge (1:10)
A. A Big Fear (1:10; cf. Mark 4:41)
B. What Have You Done? (1:10; cf. Genesis 3:13)
C. The Silent Neighbor (Matthew 27:11-14, Isaiah 53:7)
D. A Feast for the Guilty
Discussion Starters
1. Monday—Why is it so difficult to deal with our guilt? What sorts of things do you do to attempt to cover up your guilt?
2. Tuesday—How does the narrator of Jonah describe the sailors, as they speak to one another? What does it mean to be a good neighbor and how do the sailors demonstrate it in the way they treat Jonah?
3. Wednesday—What do the sailors do to find out who is responsible for the evil in their midst? Discuss the parallels between the scene where the sailors cast lots and when the priest would choose the sacrificial and scapegoat on the day of atonement? What do you think the narrator is telling us in light of the parallel?
4. Thursday—Talk about Jonah's confession and response to the sailors. Is it sufficient or is there something missing? If so, what is missing? What's so ironic with Jonah's response and the sailors' fear?
Friday—Discuss what the phrase "What have you done?" means to you. Does it help you confront your guilt or does it push you away? In what ways does Jesus demonstrate for us what it truly means to be a good neighbor? How is Jesus' silence before Pilate good news for the guilty?

When a couple elope's in your own backyard, you know you live in paradise. Amanda and Colin came from my home state of Minnesota and got married overlooking the ocean above Dana Point Harbor. The ceremony was gorgeous at the Palisades gazebo overlooking a perfect summer afternoon in Southern California. We rushed over to the Ritz to grab some photos on the beach at Salt Creek before an incredible sunset. It doesn't get much more intimate and beautiful than 10 people in attendance, including the bride and groom. The couple left the next morning to fly off to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Pretty sure they just won on wedding planning. Congrats you two! <3
