The Paillette Large Stud Earrings are a lovely everyday earring for a timeless look.
They are made of sterling silver and measure 16mm in diameter.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY SILVER JEWELLERY?Sterling silver is a precious metal and as a result of its composition your silver jewellery may tarnish gradually over time. Tarnishing is a natural process that is caused when sterling silver is exposed to humidity and chemicals such as hydrogen sulphide in the air. To minimise the speed of this process we advise you to do the following:
CLEANING SILVER JEWELLERY.At Cara Tonkin we use an oxidised finish on many of or silver pieces. If you piece is partially oxidised we advise cleaning the bright silver areas by rubbing with a silver polishing cloth. Jewellery that is comprised of just silver without an oxidised finish can also be dipped in silver dip. This is an effective and easy method of getting a bright finish back on your jewellery.
For the perfect accompaniment.

By DR. ROB DESTEFANO
Back pain is one of the most prevalent ailments of our society. Some argue that we're not really fully evolved to walk and sit upright without complications, but as long as we're trying, how can we make it less painful?
One of the major contributors to back pain is the Iliopsoas group. Comprised of three muscles, this group is the major hip flexor, and a major postural stabilizer of the body (it acts somewhat as a moderator between the abdominals and their antagonist the spinal erectors). Its location and actions, however, can be a little hard to get a handle on. The psoas major and minor travel from the front of the lumbar vertebrae, diagonally down through the abdomen—beneath the intestines–to attach on the front of the femur (thighbone) just to the inside of the hip joint. The iliacus lines the inside of the ilium, or pelvic bone, then feeds into the common tendon with the major and minor psoas. If your feet are fixed to the ground, the iliopsoas pulls the spine forward toward the legs; when the feet are free, the iliopsoas flexes and externally rotates the hip.
It is a tricky set of muscles to reach and treat manually, and treatment requires a practitioner with good hands…and some compassion. Because the muscles are deep to the intestines, the practitioner has to get under the organs in order to apply pressure to the muscle tissue. And because this muscle group is a primary "flight or fight" muscle, it is affected by stress, and can hold a lot of emotionally charged tension. Once MRI and X-Ray have ruled out structural damage, growths, or disease process, however, the Iliopsoas is one of the first places to look for some of these causes of back pain, despite the potential for discomfort.
Possible Symptoms:
Some common symptoms arising from Iliopsoas dysfunction are:
- Low back aches and pain, that may gradually spread throughout the back and hips
- Pain upon rising from a seated position, or standing upright too quickly
- Pain during the second half of a sit-up
- Discomfort or pain while driving with extended or flexed legs
- Pain upon twisting the spine, or leaning to one side
- Aches and pain with extended periods of time sitting or standing (especially with poor posture)
Some Possible accompanying symptoms:
- Hip Pain
- Pelvic Discomfort
- Bowel disruption
How Does It Happen?
Being over-tired, stressed and spent, interferes with proper healing, and contributes to the over-all stress of the muscles, so keeping balance in your life and diminishing stress is a great first step to a healthy iliopsoas. That being said, there are several mechanical reasons for iliopsoas dysfunction.
Prolonged sitting, especially when combined with a forward head posture–such as we often find in our computer-centric society–shortens the iliopsoas muscles. Even sleeping or driving, if the posture places the iliopsoas in a shortened state for too long, can compromise its resting length.
Excessive standing, with the back "collapsed," knees hyper-extended and the hips pushed forward, encourages a shortened iliopsoas, and stresses a multitude of joints, instead of engaging the core and spinal stabilizers.
Even significant repetition of hip flexion can cause shortness and/or hyper tonicity (tightness) of the iliopsoas group. This can come in the form of frequent or distance cycling, stair climbing, or even certain weightlifting, or other exercise moves. Also, if the abdomen and iliopsoas are not coordinated, and the gait cycle is off, the resulting imbalances can cause further biomechanical compensations.
Why Does This Cause Pain?
A shortened iliopsoas group pulls the spine into hyperlordosis and an anteriorly tilted pelvis (an over-arched low back). This posture can put stress on all the spinal muscles, including the erector spinae–the muscles which hold the spine upright, and all the vertebral joints of the lower spine (causing pain).
Low back pain can also develop as a tight iliopsoas generates tension in its tendinous attachment to the lumbar spine. While this tension occurs in the muscle, the pain is felt along the low back. This tension can also affect nerve roots of the spine, resulting in nerve pain, which is felt in the low back, or radiating away from the area.
A short or tight iliopsoas can pull and twist the vertebrae, causing excess compression of the discs and other vertebral joints. These forces cause pain as they occur, but also lead to degeneration of the structures over time, which can result in structural damage, like disc herniation, and degenerative disease processes, a whole new cause of pain.
Iliopsoas dysfunction comes with many distracting companions, which contribute to the overall set of back pain symptoms: a dysfunctional psoas can put the burden of hip flexion on the other, weaker hip flexors, which can become overused, irritated and painful. Or a tightened, short psoas can inhibit gluteal function, further disrupting the balance of optimal muscle function, and putting undue pressure on inappropriate muscle groups.
What You Can Do?
- Assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a medical professional
- Self-Treat: psoas, low back, quadratus lumborum, spinal erectors (see musclemedicinebook.com)
- Stretch: iliopsoas, hamstrings, low back, hip flexors (see musclemedicinebook.com)
- Strengthen: abs, glutes, spinal erectors/stabilizers, psoas if it's weak. Then do functional full body exercises that emphasize posture and balance. Part of this might be retraining the body's movement patterns to coordinate imbalanced muscles, like the synergists iliopsoas and abdominals, or antagonists iliopsoas and gluteals, during walking. (see musclemedicinebook.com)
- "Abs" alone is not enough!! Commit to strengthening your core and floor (the muscles of the entire core and muscles of the pelvic floor)!
- Muscle memory, neuromuscular facilitation, postural reflexes, all can be trained to bring peace back to the iliopsoas. Look into Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, physical therapy, or a functional movement based exercise program.
- Constructive Rest can bring much needed relief to a hypertonic iliopsoas (see coreawareness.com)
- Instead of a chair, you may want to try to sit on a physioball! It forces you to engage you core and joint stabilizing muscles, it allows for movement, so the body is not so static, and it allows the hips to relax in a more neutral position as the legs slope off the side of the ball, rather than being held rigidly in flexion by a chair seat.
- Combat stillness by moving, give the muscles a break from their shortened position by getting up and stretching them out every 20-30 minutes.

I don't know about you, but I'm not even the slightest bit interested in online bingo, but it seems vast swathes of the UK are absolute fanatics. Now you can even gamble away your hard earned cash on Facebook -- there really is no escape.
The social network has just launched Bingo Friendzy, which deprives you of real money in exchange for an instant hit of crappy gambling action. You have to be 18 and over, and be in the UK, but you can now take online bingo social, you lucky things.
God help us when Zynga launches its real-money gambling assault. Apparently it's planning to bust out new versions of its bingo and pocker games, along with a plethora of new slot games. Facebook's just become the new electronic Vegas, eugh. [FT]

November 4, 1991
Release # 92-015
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- LJN Toys, Ltd., New York, NY, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), recalled its World Wrestling Federation "Sling 'Em- Fling 'Em" wrestling ring toy because of potentially severe injuries should a child fall on one of the corner posts of the wrestling ring. LJN was a subsidiary of MCA, Inc. during the period of manufacture and sale of the wrestling ring. LJN, a publisher, marketer and distributor of home entertainment products, is no longer in the toy business.
The Commission indicates that there were four very serious injuries which resulted when children, ranging in age from six to 10 years, fell onto one of these toys. In each case, one of the four rigid plastic corner posts penetrated the child's body cavity causing severe internal injury.
LJN sold about 1.4 million toy wrestling rings between 1985 and 1989 for a retail price up to $20. The toy was promoted by featuring action figures of World Wrestling Federation (WWF) stars such as Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. The figures were sold separately.
The ring has an 18-1/2 inch square plastic base that is 3-1/2 inches high with four 9-1/2 inch long rigid blue plastic posts that snap into place at each corner. Once in place, the posts are about six inches high. Red, white, and blue elastic bands form the ropes around the ring. A decal with the WWF logo was supplied with each toy. Consumers may identify the LJN wrestling ring by looking underneath the base for these words molded into the plastic: "1985 LJN TOYS LTD. TITAN SPORTS INC. MADE IN U.S.A."
To prevent additional injuries, consumers who own these wrestling ring toys are urged to remove the four rigid plastic posts immediately. Because the posts are so rigidly secured, consumers may have to break the posts to remove them. LJN Toys Ltd. is out of business and cannot be contacted.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The CPSC is the Federal agency responsible for consumer product safety. Some 15,000 different types of consumer products fall within the Commission's jurisdiction and each year these products are involved in an estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Play Roulette in 5 Steps!
Get to know Roulette with our Guide
For a game that's almost 400 years old, Roulette looks pretty good. Back in 1655, Blaise Pascal developed the perpetual spinning machine which gave rise to modern-day Roulette games.
Enough of the history, let's get straight to the game. So, you want to know how to play this modern-day marvel? Get comfy, Karamba is going to take you on a wild ride through Roulette central!
Even if you've never played Roulette before, the rules are simple and the game is lots of fun. We'll start off by discussing the 5 steps to successfully placing Roulette bets and enjoying the game. It's important to understand each of these components so that you can make the right betting decisions every time. We'll show you which bets pay out the most, and how you can maximise your betting strategy in the game.
Here is what you need to know about how to play Roulette:
- Step #1 – The Roulette Table – Feel Your Way Around
- Step #2 –Know How to Play Inside Bets
- Step #3 – Learn the Odds on Outside Bets
- Step #4 – Understand the House Edge
- Step #5 – Spin the Wheel and Play for Real
Ready to Go for a Spin?
Let's Get the Party Started with the Ultimate Roulette Guide
Step #1 – The Roulette Table – Feel Your Way Around
The Roulette Table is one of the most fascinating attractions at a casino. The giant wheel is unmistakable – it's like a Wheel of Fortune where players can turn their dreams into realities. Before you buy into a game, it's important to understand the differences between a European Roulette wheel, a French Roulette wheel, and an American Roulette wheel. So, here's how you can differentiate them:
- European Roulette wheels have a single green 0 slot and numbers 1-36
- American Roulette wheels have a single green 0 slot, a green 00 slot, and numbers 1-36
- French Roulette wheels may appear identical to the European Roulette wheel, but they feature French words
The Roulette dealer is known as the croupier. He/she spins a non-metallic ball (typically plastic or a compound) counter to the direction of the spinning wheel. Players will place bets on positions on the roulette deck – either inside bets or outside bets. Once the ball comes to rest in one of the slots, the croupier will place a marker on that number and all winning bets will be paid.
What options are there on the roulette table?
- Depending on the game, there are numbers 0, 1-36. Other options include red or black, 1-18, 19-36, first 12, second 12, third 12, neighbours bets, split bets etc.
- The inside bets are individual numbers with a payout of 35:1, while the outside bets are red or black, dozens, 1-18, 19-36 etc.
Step #2 –Know How to Play Inside Bets
Most people think of inside bets as individual numbers. However, there are many inside bets that you can place, each with different payouts. These include the following:
- Bets on 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 – 5 number bets
- Bets on individual numbers – Straight up Bets
- Bets on two separate numbers – Split Bets
- Bets on three numbers – Street Bets
- You can bet on three numbers by placing your chip at the end of a row
- Bets on four numbers (the intersection of four numbers) – Corner Bets
- Bets on six numbers (place a chip on 2 adjacent streets) – Six Line Bets
Step #3 – Learn the Odds on Outside Bets
It's easy to identify outside bets – they are not bets on individual numbers. These bets are placed on any of the selections on the perimeter of the betting deck. These include the first row, second row, third row, even, odd, 1-18, 19-36, first 12, second 12, third 12, red or black.
Here's a quick look at the payouts of outside bets:
- 1:1 odds on red/black, odd/even, high/low selections
- 2:1 odds on dozen bets and column bets
Steg #4 – Understand the House Edge
A Roulette wheel is a Roulette wheel, right? Not quite! There are 3 unique variants of Roulette, each of them with a different house edge.
Before you grab a wagon wheel biscuit, we would like to share our golden rules:
- Set out your budget! – Be sure to set out a predetermined budget for your playing session and stick to it.
- Please Play responsibly!
Step #5 – Spin the Wheel and Play for Real
Now that you know about the different bets, game odds, and game types, it's time to pick a Roulette table. The first thing to look for is the minimum/maximum bet options at the table. These are available for everyone to see. Try to find a table minimum that meets your bankroll requirements.
Roulette Chips? Anyone?
Right, now that you know how to bet, it's time to place your money on the table and collect your chips. Note that roulette chips are coloured not numbered. The croupier will take your money and hand you a stack of chips. Place them on inside bets and outside bets accordingly. Be advised that table minimums and maximums are in play at all times. Each player receives a specific colour at the casino – that's to avoid confusion.
At the end of each spin, the dealer will place a marker on the winning number. All other chips will be removed from the table and players will have an opportunity to place their bets while the dealer is preparing for the next spin.
The dealer spins the wheel in one direction, and the ball in the opposite direction. Once the ball drops into a slot, the process repeats and winners will be paid. It's a good idea to learn how to place multi-bet selections at the table, but the dealer will gladly help you if it gets a little confusing.
Online Casino Karamba wishes you good luck and most important of all – play for fun!!

When I eat ethnic foods, I try to stay as close to the real thing as possible. I added matzo meal to the potato mixture for more authenticity. (Corn meal may be substituted). The meal helps to fry up crispy.

I made these last night for dinner and everyone loved them. I did fry them up and keep them in a 200 degree oven until all of them were cooked so no one was waiting or eating cold ones. I didn't have any scallions but I do have a bunch of chive plants so I used those instead.

Solace in a CupHuman Interest
3/9/2012 - Solace in a Cup
From time-to-time we all need comfort and warmth and that is exactly the salvation that Margaret Ridgway experienced on a cool day March 2 at Café 260.
"Over the past year I've been to many hospitals, including Ukiah Valley Medical Center at least ten times. Most recently my husband Les had an emergency surgery at UVMC. The care he received from everybody was exceptional. His surgeon, Dr. Ziad Hanna, went above and beyond what was expected. He even gave us his cell phone number to call him the night before surgery if we had any last minute questions or fears. Never before have I had a more concerned and competent doctor," exclaimed Ridgway.
In addition Ridgway went on to say, "The nurses were very attentive and did all they could to keep us both comfortable. I have been to UVMC in the past with family, friends and clients and never had care like this. It's noticeable that things have changed."
Recently Ridgway returned to the campus of UVMC to pick up a prescription at Meyers Pharmacy and noticed Café 260. "At that moment I needed comfort and warmth and got both. The latte I got was one of the best I've had in a long time and it was exactly what I needed at that moment in time," continued Ridgway.
When asked what she would want someone to know about UVMC? Ridgway replied, "I used to feel that UVMC was lacking in many areas. I no longer feel that way and am very happy to share my experience with others. In fact today I was visiting a doctor in the pavilion and ended my visit with a smoothie from the café which made me feel even better."
In closing Ridgway said, "I would like people to take advantage of the resources UVMC has to offer from doctors to Café 260, who knows you might find the comfort and warmth you've been looking for."
Café 260 is located at 260 Hospital Drive in Ukiah at the Ukiah Valley Rural Health Center next to Meyers Pharmacy.

How Should I Inspect a Used Car?
How Should I Inspect a Used Car?
When buying a used vehicle, don't let your experience turn into a nightmare. There are many instances where wrong buying decisions lead to costly repairs and maintenance over time. In your pursuit of a high-end vehicle available in working condition at an amazingly low price, you need to take a few steps to avoid getting burned. A comprehensive inspection of the vehicle is the most important thing to do. If you are clueless about how to do this, here are some tips to help.
Inspect the Papers Properly
A second-hand car should be inspected by a trusted mechanic which will allow you to negotiate prices. Before the inspection, check the papers to see if the car has had any severe repairs done in the past. The engine number and chassis number must be matching with registration papers. These inspections are important to be done before transfer of No Claim Bonus, registration certificate and car insurance in your name.
Choose a Sunny Day
This may sound a little awkward but it is better to do a physical examination of a used car in the broad daylight on a sunny day. This allows you to check for dents and inspect the paint job on the car. At the time of inspection, have the car parked in an open space where you get a complete view from all angles. It is also important to ensure that the car is parked on level ground to check its straight lines, rooflines and window panes.
Check the Exterior
The exterior must be checked thoroughly before buying a used car. Check the panels and look for scratches, rust or dents on them. If there are misaligned parts or gaps in the panels, they indicate that the car had a sloppy assembly. Apart from rust, other cosmetic flaws do not really matter in the performance of a vehicle. Check the glass to see if there are any cracks. Lights must also be working properly. Check the tire conditions for even wear and signs of alignment issues. For the rest of the condition, look under the hood for signs of damage.
Check the Interior
The moment you open the car, check for odors emanating from it. Any musty or moldy smell indicates a possible water leak in the car. You can remove the floor mats to check for wet spots. The upholstery should be in proper condition. Check the seat adjustment and your driving position in the car. Turn on the ignition without firing up the engine to check the lights, instruments and controls. Don't forget to check the roof and sound system as well.
Inspect the Engine Thoroughly
This is a check that matters the most when buying a used car. You must look under the hood to check the general condition of the engine. If there are any signs of spilled oil under the compartment, you should get the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic. Check the engine hoses for their conditions. Fluids should be maintained at proper levels and batteries should be in good shape.
For a thorough diagnosis of a used vehicle, rely on a mechanic who can provide a written report or buy from a trusted used car dealership.

Communication is Key
The Key
We massage therapists get a lot of questions, and we LOVE them! Honesty and trust is the key to a good relationship between massage therapist and client. This honesty is trust is gained through 2 way communication. Communication is key. If you have a question about your treatment plan, ask. If you have a question of what a particular muscle is doing, ask! You can never ask to many questions. I personally love when clients want to learn about what's going on in their bodies.
Don't Know What to Ask?
Asking the right question can be hard. If you feel your massage therapist spending a lot of time on one specific area, ask why. They will tell you what's going on and how your muscle is responding. Another great question to ask is where they think you are in the treatment plan. Its always pays off to know your progress. My favorite question a client can ask me is about self-care! Ask them what more you can do to make your treatment more effective. They will give you stretches, exercises or possibly oils you can use.
What should you tell your massage therapist?
The first appointment is one of the most important ones! This is the time to tell your massage therapist what your body feels daily. What pains you feel, what movements are difficult, what medication you are taking, if it's for pain management. The biggest one to tell your massage therapist is what other medical conditions you may have! This includes diabetes, cancer, bulging or herniated discs, or any thing else. This is crucial because some conditions will affect the way we have to massage. Even if its embarrassing, be honest! Trust me, we hear it all. We are here to help.
Don't be Afraid
It's okay to be nervous to ask your massage therapist to work on a specific area, but don't let it stop you. Don't be afraid to tell them if the current treatment plan isn't quite working. You can also ask questions over the phone. If you have a specific concern, ask the receptionist. The receptionists can either answer if they know, or they will grab a massage therapist to answer the question for you. You can even ask what massage therapist will best fit your needs. There are no bad questions.
If you want the best results for your body, communication is key!
We would love to hear questions that you have, comment below!
Stay healthy!

From City Council to Congress, there are thousands of elected officials across the country holding public office in various levels of government. Advocacy organizations and associations often "think big" and focus their grassroots efforts on influencing federal policy. However, it is also important that mission-driven groups also consider the impact of policy work on both a state and local level. Local legislators are often more accessible than members of Congress (due to the scope of their legislative work), transforming even one grassroots connection into a powerful point-of-contact. At Muster, we've had the fortune of witnessing many incredible associations and advocacy groups effect change in cities, counties, and in state legislatures nationwide. Below are some tips to get the most out of grassroots advocacy at the local and state levels:
3 Tips to Influencing Policy at the Local Level
How to Grow your Grassroots Program through Local Advocacy
Often, advocacy organizations and associations aim their grassroots strategy directly at federal level officials because Congress bears the most political clout. However, these organizations are usually engaged in policy issues at not only the national level, but state and local levels as well. From City Council to Congress, there are thousands of elected officials holding public office today in various levels of government. Organizations with strong grassroots programs have an incredible capacity to influence legislation at local and state levels, because these legislators are often more approachable than federal representatives. Additionally, influencing legislation at a state and/or local level may be more realistic, because these representatives have a more limited political scope than federal politicians who draft policy that is on behalf of the entire nation. Below are some tips to optimize your advocacy strategies for state legislatures and local governments:

- United Airlines is hosting a contest for overworked Americans.
- A stressed-out employee can win a free week-long vacation to Tahiti, which includes free housing, transportation, an excursion in Tahiti or Moorea, and a $2,000 prepaid card.
- To enter, workaholics should head to the United website and submit a statement of no more than 300 words.
Americans live in a culture that worships hard work — often at the expense of fun, relaxation and vacations. At this point, it's practically common knowledge that 700 million vacation days go unused in the U.S. every year.
United Airlines wants you to take some time off, perhaps relax on the beach with a tropical cocktail. But the airline knows you aren't going to ask for time off unless it's for something very special. Which is why they're hosting a contest for overworked Americans, and also to celebrate the launch of their new nonstop service between San Francisco and Papeete, Tahiti.
Log onto the United website to nominate a stressed-out employee (it could be yourself) for a free week-long vacation to Tahiti. All that's necessary to enter is a statement of fewer than 300 words about why the hardest working person in the U.S. (the nominee) deserves a free trip to Tahiti.
The grand prize includes roundtrip airfare, three nights at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort and Spa, two nights at the Intercontinental Moorea Resort and Spa and two nights at Maitai Rangiroa for the winner and one guest. The prize also includes all transportation between the islands, an excursion in either Tahiti or Moorea and a $2,000 prepaid card to be used on meals and other expenses.
United Airlines will partner with Project: Time Off to judge entries.
The contest is open until 11:59 p.m. Central Time on September 25. After submitting, cross your fingers and try to visualize yourself on the beaches of Tahiti (coconut shell filled with cocktail optional). Winners will be notified around October 11.
Just promise you'll set up your out of office message for the entire vacation and avoid checking emails.

It is only the end of the beginning!
Betty Blogger summer school taught me many things, the most important of which is that I may actually be a closet-blogger. I don't mean that I want to blog about my closet, or any closet - NOT that there is anything wrong with that should someone else want to blog about their closet - It's just that I don't. My closet is shy. And not very interesting. And may be hiding a monster that is very shy. But we don't talk about that. Or blog about it. ever. except now.
right! The most challenging part of the Betty Blogger summer school was my inability to control the stream-of-consciousness style writing. Like now. Stop that! STOP! or it could be my tyops, tpoys.... typos. The actual assignments and web-plorations were easy! (see what I did there...made a word up using "web" as in World Wide Web and "explorations" as in what we did in this course. Not a typo. It's a made up word and that IS how it's spelt. Did I mention the stream-of-consciousness thing? No? Maybe?
The style of the course was great. "Self-directed" was easy to accomodate into both my schedule and in my tendancy towards procrastination. This was somewhat surprising given my poor sense of direction. Still, even I can find my way to the computer. I totally knew that I placed the laptop in the laundry basket. And eventually I even found the laundry basket. Hey! That's it. I'm not a procrasonator, I'm .........{The Absent Librarian will get back to this sentence later, we think}
I would happily recommend this course to a friend. Even a non-friend. It was fun, enlightening and non-stressful (I like that part too!)
I learned a lot! I found out that I knew more than I thought I did. And that is always a welcome, if seldom felt, surprise!

Face Liposuction Before & After Pictures in Charleston, SC
Our body's remarkable ability to store fat in a multitude of ways can create a problem for those individuals who have a genetic tendency to store fat in the face. While wrinkles can change one's appearance, fat in the face doesn't just change your appearance, it takes away your old appearance, which was characterized by more prominent facial features, and it replaces it with a new, heavier set appearance with less detail, less nuance, and really less of you as you once appeared to be. There is hope though, and fat in the face is one of the signs of aging that if treated properly, can reveal a refreshed and rejuvenated you – just as you can see from past patients of Dr. Heidi Williams in these before and after photos. Take the time to review the remarkable results achieved by board certified, ASPS plastic surgeon Heidi Williams, M.D., for residents of Mt. Vernon, Charleston, Summerville, or any of the surrounding South Carolina communities, and then contact us to set up your consultation.
What makes us uniquely human is our facial structure, the utterly original elements of your jaw, your cheekbones, your neck and all of the many small structural details that make you look like who you really are. But when all those details and nuances are covered by the slow accumulation of fat, when the distinctive line of the jaw gets blurred by chubby excess fat, when the taut elegance or masculinity of the neck is hidden by stubborn deposits of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, your true self becomes hidden to the world, and your quality of life may suffer as a result.
And while many people may very rightly focus on wrinkles as a sign of aging, oftentimes the appearance of wrinkles is exacerbated by fat in the face. Far too many people allow themselves to look older by default, sometimes even before they experience wrinkles, by allowing fat to accumulate on the face. Throughout your life, weight gain or loss, sun damage, and other natural factors can contribute to your face's changing appearance, but eliminating fat in the face is the best option for improving the appearance of your natural appearance so you can look like your best you and enjoy life as you should.
Please take a look at these before and after photos of real patients of Dr. Williams, and you will appreciate the subtly dramatic way that years can be pulled away, and a more youthful appearance can be restored just by eliminating and extracting unnecessary fat that lowers your quality of life. Then, imagine what the change could do for you, and contact us to set up your consultation with Dr. Williams.
Remove years from your appearance with a non-surgical treatment that addresses fat in the face which can be stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise. Review these before and after pictures, and then schedule your consultation now at the office of board certified, ASPS plastic surgeon Dr. Heidi Williams, M.D., for those residents of Mt. Vernon, Charleston, Summerville, or any of the surrounding South Carolina communities who want excellent outcomes from a compassionate and caring team who utilize the absolute latest in medical technologies to help you get the look you want!

Winds of Change
Obviously, the website is changing a bit. Most of the changes are minor and meant to move to a responsive template that better reflects the reality that many of us no longer consume the internet on a desktop computer anymore. The old template was okay, but some of the screens struggled, and it was beginning to look dated. So, we have a new template. I hope folks like it, because these redesigns are a PITA. And not the good kind.
Old mutterings haunting...
I've been mulling lately whether to return to an old story that I started a couple of times some years ago. Like most of my attempts at fantasy romance it went nowhere, and yet still stirs something when I read it. I never got a great response from The One That Feels, and I'll admit that makes me hesitant, both for this story and another--Lost—that is nearly complete. But there's that stirring thing, and that's not to be let go of lightly. Here's a snippet. Interested? Let me know in the comments.
Lost in an ocean of feeling that wasn't touch and vision, that wasn't sight and hearing, that was felt more than heard, Allen slept, and dreamed and screamed. Yes, of that he was certain, the screaming. And slowly, gradually, the vision became something seen, and the touch was of a hand in his and of the touch of his skin against an other, and he could hear voices and music and the thump thump of the heart that was not his and the fierce growl of something inhuman. Of a creature.
So, what is it like going to a meeting of an LGBTQ+ student group?
With a character like Rory, who has been thrust into a leadership role in one, this was a question I knew we'd see the answer to. Student organizations are often run haphazardly, with partial executive boards, missing officers, and on the drive of what can be only one or two dedicated people.
How do I know?
As a student, I was the political chair of the LBGA, the co-chair of the Disability Action Network, and served on the cabinet of the student government for a student body of 25000 people. I also spent fifteen years of my career in student affairs working with and advising students in exactly those roles.
Smooth operations among the student organizations exist, but usually only for a time, and often—so very often—the load eventually falls on a few.
In Becoming Rory we see Rory struggling in that role. Alone he is trying to pull together a community, and he's got a hard one to manage. Because the religious right can say all they want about the gay agenda... there isn't one gay community. And that's just the GAY community, when we're talking about the LGBTQ+ community. Doing it alone can't be easy. An organization like that should have at least two and probably three other people sharing that responsibility. At my school, the executive board was an eighteen person monstrosity... except that three people were holding down fourteen of those roles.
When I wrote the Queer Alliance meeting, I wanted it to feel right. From the fearless Cian showing up in a skirt to the terrified first year student Ian whose courage was all in just walking through the door, to bisexual Eric who expected showing up and talking about being bi to be easier than it turned out to be. I stood in Rory's shoes. I can't begin to think how many young men like Ian I talked to. How many like Bethany. I hope that it's gotten easier to make them less afraid when the fearless Cian characters walk through the door—they're totally based on a first year student I knew with perfect legs, who, yes, often showed up for meetings in a skirt. And just as often had to run to the meeting because they were chased (in heels) on the way.
They were heady places. Accepting and terrifying and hot... because they were the one place on campus where you might just make a connection. And while that part is less important now (because of the internet), I hope the community and the atmosphere still shines through.
Maybe a kid like Ian will read my story. Maybe they'll realize it doesn't have to be terrifying. And if they do, it'll all be worth it.
Becoming Rory
Ashavan Doyon
Rory Graeble returns to college determined to reinvent himself. Too many years have been wasted with masks, but becoming a student leader is a step Rory isn't sure he's ready for. A new identity takes more than just a new nickname, and Rory knows he has to take the chances that his old self would never risk. When that chance is a party that ends with an anonymous hot skater's tongue down his throat and a phone number in his pocket, Rory knows what he has to do.
Danny Smits never expected to see stuffy lit geek Rory Graeble trying to be out, trying to be proud, trying to be… Rory. It's damned sexy, and too much for the entrepreneurial skater to resist. When Rory calls him back the day after the party, Danny knows Rory has changed. But will Danny's haunted past deter Rory? Or will Rory embrace the chance to experience everything the closet had stolen away? Danny believes in keeping things real, in a brutal honesty he knows means Rory will run screaming.
But this time Rory isn't running.

I write a lot of contemporary.
There's plenty of reasons for that, from the old 'write what you know' adage to the fundamental goal of writing gay romance for me—putting happy endings out there. Oh, I know I don't make it easy. I write a lot of angst. But my boys get their happy endings.
Lately writing contemporary is hard. I've thought a lot about why that might be. Part of it, surely, is that the future seems less rosy, less hopeful than before. My husband sometimes will get upset at me, because I do write angst, and that means that often in my stories the characters will experience the realities of homophobia in our culture. He likes that sweeter more hopeful vision.
I stepped away from my usual stories. I set aside The College Rose Romances and The Sam's Cafe Romances. Both of those have sequels that need airing, from Cian's story—the purple rose—to the missing stories of chess master Brian's brothers. Instead I'm working on a short, and unlike my last one which was very much a contemporary, this one has a dystopian sci-fi feel. It is intended as a romance, and I'm struggling sometimes to find that balance, but it is also, I think, rather different than my usual stories.
Mostly it came to me as a title and then a cover and went from there. I think I'll be sharing it pretty soon.
The Tendire Gate.
Becoming Rory is out! I am astounded and terrified and happy all at once.
I started writing this installment of the College Rose Romances third. Andrew wasn't speaking to me. Instead I was getting a guy from a wealthy neighborhood who I was calling Andrew on the page and just wasn't. I set the story aside and started writing something else, and what came out was Rory.
I was bewildered. I didn't have a character named Rory, and while I had suspicions, I had to look up who Lawrence was—a throwaway reference in Loving Aidan to one of the lit geeks who "took care" of Aidan in the tunnels. I stopped midway to write the draft of Andrew's Prayer. This time Drew spoke up loud and clear. My draft of Becoming Rory sat for a long time until I was finally able to wrap it up almost a year later.
Why does it terrify me? Rory falls in love with a character who stood out for me in Steven's Heart. I'd always intended to make Smits a love interest for someone. I liked his cockiness, and that I could picture him sailing across campus on his skateboard. I knew a lot about him right away. But as the novel went on, we learned more.
I wasn't unwilling to write Danny's illness, but I won't pretend it was easy either. His illness is one that has a broad spectrum. It's also one I've researched a lot, because I share the diagnosis. That meant pulling a lot of personal pain into the story. It also meant reviews hitting like a ton of bricks, because the reviews were not kind to Danny.
I read one review that basically said that no one could love someone so broken.
As authors we learn never to respond to reviews, at least not directly. And I didn't. But my heart shattered a little. As a young gay man I grew up knowing no one could love me because I was gay. It was a message society hammered in with certainty, and still does—that's where the kill your gays trope in television comes from, an institutional message that a happy result just isn't possible.
I grew up. The world changed. I found those people were wrong. But the messages still hurt.
No one can love someone so broken.
Yep, the messages definitely still hurt. It makes me very glad that Rory found Danny.

I've Felt a Bit Lost In a Fog
This past year has been awful.
I know I'm not alone in thinking that. A lot of advice for writers talks about that struggle, where inspiration fades into despair and how important it is to burst through that fog and share your art... because art, make no mistake, is resistance. Especially when you're writing gay love stories in a society that has, according to most recent news, for the first time in recent memory become less accepting.
So there's a been a fog. It's not been without light. Through Purple Horn Press I released my short, American Pride, and managed to get three of the four College Rose Romances back in print. The final one will release before the end of January. That's not the end of the story for our college students. Jim Puffton, the resident bully, is our next reluctant hero, and I wonder if part of my hesitance in getting that story out is tied up in my worries for the state of the union: because why should I shine a light on a bully?
But Jim, as you'll hopefully discover, is so much more than that. Redemption stories are never easy, and maybe it's important to show that sometimes bullying is also coming from a place of pain that we don't see, that people are more complicated than that. That story, Forgiving James, will come later in the year.
In the meantime, Becoming Rory is coming out. I adore the transformation of Lawrence/Rory, and we've seen a peek of it in Andrew's Prayer, as the timeline of the books overlaps. We finally get to see Rory's hinted at mysterious boyfriend, and their relationship is really intense. We get a love interest with a mental health issue, and that's not something we often see. It was really important to me to put that into the story and deal with it honestly—something that cost me in reviews. But I stand by my portrayal. This can be hard to read... mental illness is so difficult in a relationship, and both characters are young college students, but really, mental illness makes everything about a relationship hard. Rory finds out how hard, and what he's willing to do to keep his love.
I know a lot of us are still in that fog. I find it a little strange that the first release that I had in this era was titled American Pride. Because that story is really about a character who has had a lot of loss, and it's his pride in his country that has defined him. But that loss makes him doubt that pride, and it makes him question everything. But this is a character who has lost so much, and at the end of the day, it's the ideals of the United States: Liberty and Justice for all. Freedom and equality that keep him steady. And even with his questions, he still keeps his flag lit at night, so it can fly even in the dark. Dustin is very much lost in the same sort of fog I know so many of us are feeling. But some days, I hope that I can find that bit of optimism that I wrote into the character.

The College Rose Weeps
When I first started looking at publishing my gay romances, I struggled to find a publisher, as any unknown author does. I submitted Loving Aidan to the publisher I felt was strongest, but for whatever reason, it failed to meet the needs of their editorial calendar at the time. Maybe it was the angst level, or perhaps they rightly identified the struggles readers have had between Aidan's dual interest in both Sammy and Steven. Maybe they felt I wasn't ready, or they simply had enough new adult romances on their calendar. It doesn't matter. It was rejected and I fell apart for a little while.
Many of the gay male romance publishers still published anthologies at the time, and I decided to try instead to get into one of those. Unwilling to give up on Loving Aidan, I researched publishers and instead of settling on the strongest, I settled on one of the most venerable. Torquere was small. It didn't promise a lot of sales, but it had a good, solid reputation, longevity. I was seeing a series for these books, and I wanted that sense of longevity. So I took my chance and submitted the story again.
Torquere accepted the story, and the sequel, and the sequel after that. Loving Aidan became the first of the College Rose Romances, a series of new adult gay male romances focusing on the college experience. A series full of angst, drama, trauma, and love.
It was a series that reviewers either loved or hated. Sales were moderate, but enough that I kept getting books accepted, kept receiving encouragement.
Then the rumors started. There were authors who weren't getting paid. Ridiculous, I thought. I checked my statements, the status of my checks. I bluntly asked the owners about it and was assured that everything was fine.
Everything was not fine. Earlier this week, Torquere notified its authors that it would begin the process of closing down. I could feel my heart break. My series was going to die. My requests to get my rights back were sitting in mailboxes. The paper copy sent registered mail hadn't been picked up, and I knew from communication with other authors that I was not alone in this.
When I was contemplating sending my books to Torquere, some friends had recommended Silver instead. I remember doing my research and deciding against it because of a warning sign I'd come across in researching the press. I felt like I'd dodged a bullet. Maybe I had. But I got caught in a ricochet. EC, Silver, Samhain. Torquere.
My books for Torquere are a series. More than any payment, I needed a piece of paper returning my rights. Without it, the series was dead in the water. James, whose story I've been working on these past months, would never live for readers. Getting my rights back meant losing my covers. But I can deal with that. I can design a new cover.
I am heart broken. The college rose weeps. My dreams are shattered.
Today I received my rights back. The rose is not dead. Just maybe, if I tend it, the college rose will bloom. Peach blossoms will shine and you will all meet James again, and just maybe, you'll forgive him.

The Secret to Winning NaNoWriMo
I've been sitting staring at a blank page for too long. Why is it blank? Well, honestly, it's not exactly blank. It's stuck at about 4000 words. It's a decent amount of text, about a quarter to a third of what I want on this particular project, but it's not enough. Worse, I wrote the last thousand of those words about a week ago, which means I haven't written squat in a week.
Why am I worried?
One word: NaNoWriMo. Yes, I'm cheating, it's actually four words. National Novel Writing Month. Celebrated annually during November, National Novel Writing Month (cheerfully referred to as Nano by many participants) is an opportunity to let loose and write with wild abandon. It's a chance to jump start a project, or finish one. At its best, it's a finished draft in a month, packed with all the support you need.
It means writing 1667 words a day. Every day. For a month.
The Underwear Dilemma
I write gay romances. Pictures of hot guys are something that get shared in those circles. Often these are models, and so it's not infrequent to see this on my screen first thing in the morning:
Hot, right? But it's also frustrating. I work and write in medium where I am virtually never represented, after having lived my life and grown up in an environment where I am, again, almost never represented. While no character is a perfect stand-in, most of us growing up have heroes that we can or want to emulate, to resemble, to aspire to be.
This guy with the perfect head of teased dirty blond hair and the hot tattoos and the smooth skin and the glorious abs... so often he is the guy I'm writing. Because romance is fantasy. In my head I always wanted to be that hot guy. The one that looks hot in just his underwear.
And that of course is where this comes from. Because I do shop for underwear online, and facebook somehow knows that. And it delivers this picture to me.
I don't have the heart to ban the picture in the way I've banned so much political talk from my feed. I like looking. I like dreaming. I like thinking about how hot dirty blond boy would feel skin to skin crawling up me to do unmentionable things. But it hurts. Why? Here's a hint. The picture above is edited to take out this:
It's a shame of course, because in my desperate desire to be that hot jock, I would, as I imagine many do, join that club. Aspire to be hot. Except that an XL in those undies is a size 36. That makes me a full 12 sizes larger than the LARGEST SIZE THEY HAVE. At my size I can't get sexy underwear. At my size I'm lucky to find underwear at all. There's plenty of shame in that.
A lot of people will go on about how it's all about will power and if I really wanted to blah blah blah. Sure.
For the record, at my heaviest I topped 420 pounds. Possibly more. That's where my industrial strength fatso scale tops out. In an effort to be sexy for my hubby, shortly after I asked him to marry me, I shaved the comb over and went on a full on no holds barred I was not going to fail this time diet. Successfully, as it happens. I lost at least 140 pounds, going to a low of 270. At this weight I was still, by doctors, considered morbidly obese. At this weight I also started showing the signs no person who loses weight wants to see... excess skin. The kind that won't go away even if you lose the weight gradually.
Mind you, my six foot five frame, at 270 pounds, still had a 44 inch waist. a full 8 sizes away from fitting into the largest size of sexy underwear offers. I kept the weight off for almost five years.
That bit about you get used to it, you feel better, you don't get hungry. That's all bullshit. For me? I was hungry all the time. I felt guilty if I ate a snack. I subsisted on tiny meals and exercised daily. My knees and back thanked me for the weight loss. The rest of my body waged a full on war. I was cold all the time. I felt weak, even though I exercised. I never developed a taste for the healthy foods I needed to eat, even though I tried an endless variety in an effort to maintain the weight I'd reached.
I've bucked the odds. A full 12 years after losing the weight, I'm still down 50ish pounds over my heaviest weight. But that means I've gained back a painful 100 pounds.
But I'm terrified of dieting. It never made me feel better, and even going through herculean lengths, I never even got close to my goal. Being able to buy XL undies and jeans at a regular store.
I despaired and I searched high and low for places that sell sexy undies in my size. Like everything else I wear, it IS possible to find such a thing, but the choices are extremely limited, and heinously expensive.
Almost every book I write talks about the underwear the hero wears. About how sexy it makes them look. I think that's because I know I'll never get to feel that for myself.
Don't forget to check out the ARDOR newsletter. The April issue is out and with it a prelude to the ongoing serial The One That Feels, presented here on the Passion Stroll.
Introducing The One That Feels...
I promised to offer free reads in this space, and I'm going to offer up a favorite story. This one never found a home with publishers, but remains a story that I'm proud of. I'll talk a lot about the characters in later posts, and more, I'm sure, about why I am offering this one. But for now, we'll start with a blurb and a cover.
The One That Feels
Thommas Ashforthe should never have met his ex Brian at the club. Never able to refuse Brian's pleas, Thommas enters the Realm to seek out the lost spirit of Brian's dying boyfriend Jordan. The price of travel in that place of magic is steep and oaths spoken in the Realm cannot be broken. With time running out before Jordan's body dies in the world of the Real, Thommas rushes through the Realm on a hopeless quest.
Nem is a prince of Zaharoth, and Thommas represents a hope of escape from the ruthless authority of his father. But when Nem binds Thommas with an oath as a price of passage through the forests of his homeland, can he dare to hope that the stranger from the Real will be truly bound by it?
March Madness
My life has been a little crazy for the past two years. In the midst of writing and editing, my father-in-law became deathly ill two summers ago. I wish I could say that was hyperbole, but I'm afraid it's not. He declined quickly from the healthy man I'd come to know into a frail shell. We tried to do everything ourselves so that he could stay in his house, but it became too much. He was admitted to the hospital, and the cancer they found was inoperable. Hospitals, then nursing homes, then hospice. Mercifully it was quick and certain in a way that left my husband with few doubts about our choices. I wrote every post for my Steven's Heart blog tour from a vigil beside his bed in hospice.
Since his passing my life has been a whirlwind. We bought a new house. We endeavored to sell not just our own home but my husband's father's also. I missed the Dreamspinner Author retreat last year because I was in the midst of moving. This year I was determined to make it, and I did (There's this photographic evidence with Amy DiMartino, Charlie Chochet and Dani Maas). Authors are a frequently insular bunch, and I'm no exception. If it wasn't for Dani, I'm not sure I would have managed to actually meet anyone. The workshop was jam packed with goodness, time to make new friends and contacts, everything I needed to be energized. There was even a chance to pitch ideas to the editors and I'm really thrilled at the prospect of releasing something from Dreamspinner later this year.
Unfortunately, it also meant returning home to both the impending sale of our former home (and therefore desperate last minute cleaning, bargaining, and endless meetings with lawyers and realtors) and two days missed from work at the college in the midst of spring break housing (which I coordinate) and the implementation of a new housing assignments and lottery system (guess who is on the implementation team). Something had to give and the immediate something was my posts here. My plan was only to be a week late posting. All my good intentions were for naught, and obviously last weekend nothing new went up.
I hope none of you are too disappointed at the delay, and I promise my next post will be the blurb and cover for the serial novel that we'll be discovering here on the blog over the next few months.

There's a bit less trust now needed when developers compile the software at the heart of bitcoin.
While there is tremendous promise for the tech, blockchain must evolve substantially to meet the unique demands of the internet of things.

HCG stands for human Chorionic gonadotropin and it is a naturally occurring type of hormone which is commonly produced in the bodies of pregnant women. It is affiliated with pregnancy but it affects both sexes equally. It is one of the most important factors in the nourishment of the fetus. Its main function is to signal the hypothalamus, which is located in the brain. The signals are the reminders that it is the right time to use up the fat deposits in the body, so the increased nutrition may be supplied to the baby. During the 1950s, certain scientists have discovered that the aforementioned properties of human Chorionic gonadotropin may come in very handy for all those who want to loss excess weight. Due to these reasons, HCG drops and injections were soon developed in order to be used as aids in the process of weight loss.
hCG Drops
Hcg drops are commonly used because they are very efficient in suppressing the hunger. These types of supplements are known for relying on low calorie diets in order to be effective. If used properly along with a corresponding diet, hcg drops may provide the user with up to 2 pounds of weight loss every day. Even though most people are aware that the drops are highly functional, those people are usually not aware that extreme low calorie diets may be very harmful for the proper functioning of the brain. These drops are also known for reducing the metabolism rate which occurs when the person is resting. The main problem lies in the fact that once a person starts using these drops, the body ends up burning up muscle mass in order to suffice the nutrient. If the body starts losing precious muscle mass it may be extremely harmful for the overall health of the body.
hCG Drops Side Effects
Early on, it was determined that HCG drops trigger a lot less side effects than the injections. The worst side effect associated with the use of human Chorionic gonadotropin is the sluggish brain function which actually makes the person cranky and irritable constantly. On top of that, a person tends to feel constant craving for different types of food. One should also be aware that the lost pounds tend to get back very easily. The most common side effects of human Chorionic gonadotropin drops include quick regaining of lost weight, binge eating, shutdown of metabolism, burning muscle mass instead of fat, insomnia, weakness, sluggish mobility, mood swings, depression and headaches.
