Background: Exposure to the child welfare system (CWS) is associated with an array of harms throughout life, including, elevated rates of substance use, homelessness and incarceration. However, less is known about the unique trajectories of those who age-out of the CWS, defined as experiencing an abrupt termination in financial and emotional support upon turning the legal age of majority. This study sought to longitudinally examine the relationship between aging-out of the CWS and subsequent incarceration among people who use illicit drugs (PWUD).
Methodology: Between December 2005 and May 2015, data were derived from two prospective cohorts of PWUD in Vancouver, Canada. Over the study period, 411 PWUD with a history of being in the CWS were seen and completed a study visit; of whom, 255 (62.0%) were female and the median age was 36.7 (IQR: 27.6–49.5). Multivariable linear regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between aging-out of the CWS and increasing number of incarceration events, adjusting for confounders.
Results: Among PWUD with a history of being in the CWS, 160 (39%) reported aging-out of the CWS and 38 (9.25%) reported being recently incarcerated at some point over the study period with a median number of 2 incarcerations (IQR: 1-4). Despite adjusting for numerous confounders, including drug use patterns, homelessness, and year of study recruitment, aging-out of the CWS was significantly and positively associated with increasing number of incarceration events (adjusted odds ratio=1.20; 95% confidence interval: 1.04-1.38).
Conclusions: Aging-out of the CWS was highly prevalent among our sample of PWUD. Our findings suggest that aging-out is an important risk factor for subsequent incarceration. This further supports the need to evaluate innovative measures, such as extending care past the age of emancipation, to reduce harms associated with aging-out of the CWS and subsequent involvement with the criminal justice system.

I told my 6' tall daughter not to worry about how tall a man is when choosing a life partner. This applies to ring size, too. Daughter married a shorter man, and he is wonderful to her and their two children.marlajosephs said:Hello! First time posting here. So, amidst all the excitement of wedding planning, I've found myself insecure of a peculiar thing: the size of my hands.
I'm a girl, and my fiance is male. There certainly seems to be an expectation that women are supposed to have smaller ring sizes than men, but I have a ring size several sizes larger than him (I'm a 10.5-11, he's a 6.5--yes, he's on the petit side). I'm larger than him, in general--I'm about 4" taller than him and my feet are bigger than his.
He's reassured me that there's nothing wrong with any of that and that I'm beautiful, but after being turned away from all but one jewelry store in the mall because the rest just don't carry or adjust to my size... I've been finding myself more and more insecure over it.
So, two questions:
1) Do you deal with insecurity over ring size? If so, how do you deal with it?
2) What are the best jewelry stores that carry larger ring sizes for women? I still want a pretty and "feminine" ring, but most of the stores I've visited only carry rings up to size 8.
(Clarification on the last point-my FH and I have been dating for three years and in a "pre-engagement" for the last several months. This summer, we're going to make the engagement official; since we've already discussed the engagement, we're picking out the rings together).

NEW YORK, NY ― June 21, 2007 ― Leo Fasseas, owner of Leo Fasseas Jewelers in Livingston,
N.J., won a "Dream Team" store makeover sponsored by American Gemological Laboratories
(AGL) and Gem Certification & Assurance Lab (GCAL) to benefit Jewelers For Children (JFC). The
"Dream Team" of luxury retail experts was organized by AGL and GCAL as part of a week-long
promotion at the Couture Show in Las Vegas from May 29-June 4, 2007, in order to demonstrate
that luxury retail jewelers had all of the tools necessary to neutralize any perceived advantages of
other luxury goods retailers.
Mr. Fasseas purchased the $100 raffle ticket because he knew it was for a good cause, supporting
the work of JFC. He didn't expect to win, because, as Mr. Fasseas observed, "I've never won
anything in my life." But Mr. Fasseas' big Las Vegas gamble paid off when he won the charity raffle
as his winning ticket was selected during Couture 2007 and announced at JFC's Facets of Hope
Dinner on June 3.
"When I was told I won, I didn't believe it at first," Mr. Fasseas said. But it couldn't have been any
more appropriate for us."
The award couldn't have come at a better time – Mr. Fasseas is in the middle of a major
remodeling that will double the size of his store and add such customer amenities as a fireplace,
an espresso bar, a lounge/sitting area and a children's room.
The "Dream Team" concept was launched on May 29 at a special invitation-only conference called
"Tuesday at Two," where AGL and GCAL presented proprietary research on luxury consumer
behavior provided by sponsors Harrison Group, Agency Sachs and Elite Traveler in order to assist
luxury jewelry retailers in marketing to their key consumers. As part of the presentation, AGL and
GCAL utilized luxury goods growth rates to suggest that the principle competition to the luxury
jeweler is the various luxury retailers that market and sell other luxury goods such as shoes,
purses, scarves and other fashion accessories.
AGL and GCAL then identified several possible advantages of competitive luxury retailers when
compared to the luxury jewelry retailer. To neutralize any possible advantages of one or more of
these competitors to luxury jewelry retailers, AGL and GCAL introduced a "Dream Team"
consisting of six specialists in different areas of luxury retailing, including brand portfolio
management, Internet/Web development, lighting, marketing, product development, store design,
selling support, training and client service. Although these six specialists were examples of the
type of talent available to luxury jewelry retailers, the six specialists each agreed to provide up to
four hours of consulting in their respective areas in a raffle to benefit JFC, with the entire package
of 24 hours of consulting awarded to one winner.
The elite members of the "Dream Team" include: Robert Scott Alger, President of Soho Interactive
Telecommunications and an expert in Internet strategies and Wed design/development; Angus Goble, President of Angus Goble LLC and an expert in architecture and store design; Peggy
Grosz, President of Peggy Grosz Consulting and an expert in product development; Joe Padulo,
President of Padulo International and an expert in advertising and marketing; Nancy Robey, Chief
Marketing Officer of Collectors Universe Inc. and an expert in fine jewelry marketing and brand
development/positioning; and Diane Warga-Arias, President of DWA Communications and an
expert in transformational retail practices, selling support and training.
During the presentation, AGL and GCAL noted that the perceived advantages of the competitive
luxury goods retailer could be neutralized with services from consultants such as the "Dream
Team" and along with third party certification from AGL and GCAL, any product authenticity and
quality advantages of competitive luxury goods could be neutralized, allowing two key advantages
of the luxury jewelry retailer to be more evident. According to AGL and GCAL, those two key
advantages are: (1) the passion and enthusiasm of the owners of the luxury jewelry retailers as
compared to the hired store managers of competitive luxury goods; and (2) the more than 1,000-
year history and legacy of jewelry as the fashionable storehouse of wealth and the object of multigenerational
wealth transfer as compared to the temporary and depreciating features of
competitive luxury goods.
Mr. Fasseas was just one of a number of lucky winners who came away with big prizes from raffles
sponsored by AGL and GCAL in Las Vegas. AGL and GCAL served as the Official Colored
Gemstone and Diamond Laboratories of the JCK Las Vegas Show and Couture, and also were the
Oasis Lounge sponsors of Premiere, the Prestige Promenade and Luxury by JCK. The labs held
raffles that provided prizes from flat screen TVs to autographed memorabilia at all of the venues.
Altogether, the labs raised nearly $10,000 for JFC.
"The support shown by Collectors Universe was overwhelming," said David L. Rocha, Executive
Director of JFC. "Having Jewelers for Children be the recipient for the raffle proceeds, along with
the impressive exposure we received at all five AGL/GCAL locations, was something we could
never buy. We are deeply appreciative of their support. We are also appreciative of the time
donated by the 'Dream Team' members."
One winning couple, Howard and Vicki Cunningham of Cunningham Fine Jewelry in Tulsa, Okla.,
found a novel way to use the raffle to further help children in need. The Cunninghams won a
plasma screen TV at Couture valued at $1,200. All raffle ticket holders received an adorable teddy
bear sporting a shirt that proudly displays the JFC, AGL and GCAL logos. When Mr. Cunningham,
a reserve police officer, got his bear, he noted that he kept stuffed animals in his patrol car to give
to crying children he encounters in the course of his police duties. AGL and GCAL promptly gave
him a bag full of teddy bears!

Gina Zacharias is an emerging photographer, educated in Denmark, New York and Glasgow. I'd say there's definitely a Twin Peaks kind of atmosphere in her work and her statement on her Saatchi gallery page sounds almost like something Laura Palmer could have written in her secret diary: "I'm interested in the mystery that breathes behind things in every day life. […] I believe that fantastical moments are not only limited to the world of dreams but are also to be found in the everyday." (Text: Mrs. Deane)

gebele needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
The Silencer is a product used in combination with a bike trainer.
A bike trainer in heavy usage looks as follows: https://vimeo.com/194721878
The Problem with the bike trainer is; the vibration it transmits to the floor can disturb the neighbours so that the bike trainer might not be used in an appartment.
The solution is the silencer. It is a wooden board with 4 special feet (these feet absorb vibrations). You place the bike trainer on the board and start training. Due to the vibration absorbing effect (thus the name silencer, the customer has no problems with neighbours any more.
Important: The logo will be also branded (with hot iron) onto the wood of the silencer!
I need a version with and without the european trademark symbol ®
Who is the customer: Road bikers that train indoors on their home trainers (using their own bikes like in the video). Mainly men that are sportive and love their bikes.
The enclosed video shows the very first prototype with the new feet. Just ignore the tennis balls...;)
The silencer will sell for 99 EUR, so it is a premium product.
If you use a picture/diagram and the word "Silencer", make sure they are connected in some way.
Here are some logos of famous road bike and trainer logos:

A 299 Le Perreux, 4th May 1945 from M. Mar
My dear little friend,
We were really pleased to hear of your whereabouts at last, because you have often been in our thoughts and we have been very concerned about you and our other English friend during these terrible war-time years, with dangers threatening us all around. However, since the Invasion, and especially since last December, we have known that you are all alive and well, which was a great relief to us.
Your letter arriving confirms this news we had and I thank you for thinking of us and writing.
My dear Nancy, you could say that you had suffered a lot during that terrible journey that you had to make in June 1940 – with some temporary accommodation en route – luckily you were with your family – and with the fear of being bombed, which Basingstoke seems to have avoided.
But on top of that, how upsetting it was to think that your house in Nogent was ransacked and stripped of all your beloved possessions and pieces of furniture, as well as your cherished memories. You will certainly receive compensation but, for your parents especially, that will not make up for what they have lost !
We had also heard that you had celebrated your grand-mother's hundredth birthday. The poor old lady has been spared by the Good Lord to see, shortly, the crushing of the Boches' war machine. She has seen these bandits leave British shores smashed and broken behind them. All I hope is that she has not had to weep at the death of a member of her family. And now, my little Nancy, the bells will sound the great moment of victory, just as we are expecting at any time, the sirens, that have caused us so much alarm, will be heard one last time, but this time we shall be overjoyed to hear them and bless their sound, whilst the church bells all over Europe will chime their alleluias (but not those in the land of the Boches). And we shall have great joy, such as we did not dare imagine a while ago, and this time our great happiness is for real.
If I wanted to write everything I think about the British, it would be a very long letter and full of praise. We shall talk about that when we see one another again, which will be soon, I hope.
Just a word about us: yes, we have suffered greatly, from hunger, from the cold and from fear. We have experienced cooking without fat, coffee without coffee, some kind of herb used as a tea-substitute, meat that had gone off, black bread, fireplaces and ovens with no fuel to put in them when it was minus 8 degrees outside. We have had sleepless nights, from the bombing and from all the kinds of misfortunes we had but, to cap it all, when we returned to Nogent on 4th January last, after attending Jean de R…'s wedding, we found our house ransacked. We have lost nearly everything of value and the thieves are going scot free! They took silver, jewellery, linen, clothes and a whole lot of objects of great personal value. I cannot think about it without wanting, literally, to be sick.
And now, a word about the Truman family. I am pleased to hear that they are together, that Freda is making marriage plans and that Mr Truman is going to enjoy a well-earned rest. Tell Freda that Mrs Tarquini must still be of this world, because her name and telephone number are still in the directory. I had met her a long time ago in the Théatre français, but since then I have not had news of her.
When we came back from the 1940 exodus, Nelly's two suitcases were found in the Town hall, where we had left them, unfortunately, for safe keeping. They had been 'relieved' of all the best things – dresses, bed linen, material, gloves etc – they contained.
I'll stop here, my dear Nancy, please remember us to your parents and tell them that they have our every sympathy. Because we have had problems ourselves, tell them that we are acutely aware of the suffering that they have had.
Our fondest good wishes to you and your mother, and please give our compliments to Mr Powell and the Truman family, when you have a chance to do so.
M. Mar

text: When I picked this book up from the library I marveled at how small it was; I knew it was not a long read but as I examined this pocket sized book, I certainly was taken back. Yet, within it's pages lies a touching, thoughtful account of experiences within Wynhausen's family and those beloved by them. Furthermore, as the title suggests, it examines what constitutes resilience in relation to research, media, and personal life. While I would not call this book perfect, it certainly touches on some important ideas and experiences surrounding a concept that can at times feel obscure, intangible. More importantly, Wynhausen tackles this subject beautifully, with heart, humor and insight. This is certainly a book worth a look for those interested in the human condition.

Lady, since the day I swore oath on your natami, I have instigated diligent checks. Net day you let slip to your grain factor that you intend to undercut the Acoma thyza prices in the markets in the City of the Plains. Tasaio paused, lending the appearance that he sat at ease, sharing confidences.
And yet Incomo noted with approval that he did not entirely rela; cheap candles beeswax pillar the glitter in his eyes betrayed that he watched, always, for trouble. If Mara defends her cheap beeswax pillar candles caravans, we know we have a spy in the barracks. If she withholds her thyza crop from market, we establish that we have an Acoma disguised as a clerk. After that, it cheap beeswax pillar candles becomes a matter of digging out the informer. I had thought of a similar tactic, but there remains one telling flaw.
We cannot afford to sell our thyza at a loss; and wont we reveal our machinations to the Acoma when no attack befalls the caravan?
Tasaio raised his hand, thumb and forefinger poised a scant inch apart. I have plans for that spy, when we find him with your permission, of course, my Lord. The moment was smoothly handled, Incomo observed with hidden admiration. Without coming to grips with Desio directly, Tasaio had let slip the assumption that the young Lord would receive his due cheap beeswax pillar candles credit; the other side of the issue being that permission, of course, would be granted.
Desio swallowed the bait, but missed the larger impli tions. When we catch this traitor, I will see him pillar candles cheap beeswax tortured j. the name of the Red God until his flesh is twitching pulp. His plump fist pummelled cushions for emphasis, and hi nose deepened from pink to purple. N But as if he handled irate nobility on a daily basis, Tas showed no alarm. What could the Minwanabi gain but insult by keeping a miserable spy alive? Tasaio settled back on one elbow and buy cheap wall candles casually plucked a fruit from a bowl on a side table. As though its ripe skin were flesh, he stroked his nail down the pillar cheap beeswax candles curve in what seemed almost a caress. It serves our cause to ensure that our Acoma enemies learn only what we wish them to know. The warriors ; hands gripped the fruit and gave a vicious twist. The jomach split in half, with barely a splash of red juice. Desio looked from his i cousin to his First Adviser, and managed not to fumble the catch as his cousin tossed him one piece of the fruit. He bit into the morsel, and then began to laugh, for the first time restored to the arrogant certainty of his familys greatness. We shall dispatch a company of men on some useless raid and let the Acoma bitch think she has routed us. Tasaio tapped the remaining bit of fruit with his forefinger. Incomo pondered, then offered,My Lord, I suggest that the raid should cajun candle be close to her home. Desio wiped juice off his chin with his embroidered cuff.

Vegetation in Highly Eroded Lands under Dryland Conditions
KSCST had organised a workshop to evolve a science and technology programme
against drought and for development of dry lands in Karnataka, in 1987.
At the end of this workshop a science and technology programme was drawn
up, identifying specific areas requiring research and development efforts
on a priority basis. This project deals with one such area related to the
productive use of semi-arid wastelands.
Three fourths of the arable and non-arable land area in Karnataka fall in the category about 2 million ha. of land has been classified as barren and uncultivable forming nearly 10% of the area in all districts. Further 2 million ha of land treated as permanent pastures and miscellaneous groves are under-utilised. Latest reports indicate that the plant density is far from satisfactory even in forest lands (about 3 million ha). The demand for biomass based fuel, fodder and timber is constantly on the increase but the rate, extent and success of planting are not keeping pace with it. Since conventional afforestation techniques are not adequate to meet this situation, there is a need to develop a complete package of technology, including selection of suitable species and methods of planting to upgrade biomass productivity of wastelands and to control errosion. Hence the project on 'Establishing Vegetation in highly eroded lands under dry land conditions' was initiated.
Dry land Agriculture
Highly eroded wastelands in the watershed were surveyed for native flora. In all about 50 species were identified and the specimens are preserved in a herbarioum at the Operational Research Project office.
To identify land treatment suitable for different species, seven silva species were subjected to seven different types of land treatment. the species Graveliz robusta, Eucalyptus hybrid, Casurina equistifolia, Silanthus mulberica, Inga delcia, Acacia auriculiformis and Dalbergia sisso were planted in main plots.

Taking about gamers in general, lets consider this; people who grew up playing Atari 2600 are now in their 30s, while people who started with NES are in their 20s. Gamers are getting older. Of course that doesn't mean gaming has to grow up (in fact I'd argue that a lot of people play games to remember what it was like being a kid again) rather I think it has to do with adults having less tolerance for needless complexity and design bullshit than children. When your young you have a lot of time, but very little money. When your an adult you have more disposable income, but less time to enjoy it. A lot of the game companies I mentioned in the beginning really fail to grasp this. They're still doing things the way they did a decade or more ago. Times have changed.
Looking to history it's easy to notice a pattern with the rise and fall of dynasties. Always the end of a line of Chinese Emperors or Egyptian Pharaohs were brought about by natural disasters. In the case of the gaming industry it economic recession, but for all intents and purposes the effect is the same. The big developers mentioned above chose to bunker down and stick to what they knew while companies such as From Software, CD Projekt RED and That Game Company chose to engage in a more flexible approach seizing opportunities where they found them. Unsurprisingly, in the dynamic world of electronic entertainment the latter not the former is the more successful. Sadly, most game companies are still staring at their feet fussing over sales from a purely business perspective. What they should be doing is looking to the horizon where new, exciting and highly profitable gaming experiences can be found.
I've seen this sort of thing happen before with Sierra Entertainment Inc. "Quest" titled adventure games are what brought them to the limelight, but the sequels kept coming and while graphics improved gameplay remained largely stagnant (and in some cases was downright reductive). So, eventually the company perished. The good news is in their final years they had what I like to think of as the "last hurrah!" with titles like Half-Life and Homeworld. Perhaps Capcom is doing the same with Dragon's Dogma? Only time will tell. What is certain though is some of the industry giants mentioned above will not be around much longer. Sad? Hmmm...not sure, but as a gamer I hope that they go out with a bang rather than a whimper.

Many businesses establish websites, but they don't all have one that is effective. One of the best ways to bring in more visitors is with the help of Local Seo. The more people see your site, the more money you'll get and the better the business will do. Keep reading to find out how to optimize your site.
Make sure you employ SEO tactics in your articles. In this way, you should utilize keywords often while not making your writing choppy or nonsensical. As the search engines do their job by finding keywords and putting a value on their density, you will find your rankings improving.
For a good affiliate marketing strategy set up pay-per-click advertising. This is the simplest affiliate program to implement, so the pay for each click may not be high, but the total pay can add up quickly.
Meta Tags
Adding a site map to your website is a highly important search engine optimization step. Spiders can easily decipher you site if you have a site map. You might need more site maps, if you have a big website. In general, try not to have more than 100 links on each map.
Writing intelligent descriptions in your meta tags for every page of your website is very important. Description tags play a large roll in your site coming up during a search. Keep the meta tags simple and of high quality. This type of tag usage will help to draw in more visitors to your site.
In order to make a page stand out to search engines, try to include relevant keywords in the URL of the page. The page won't rank high if the URL has numbers or symbols. Include the keywords you would use yourself.
Research keywords before you begin. Knowing which keywords to use will help you get the attention you want for your articles. Keyword research can let you know what people are searching for in your categories. Raise your SEO ranking by focusing on these subjects throughout your webpage.
To draw people to your website and improve search engine optimization, ensure you use good description tags. The content in this area shouldn't exceed 30 words. The entire page should not be more than one hundred KB.
One piece of advice that we hear in the Local Seo world is to include keywords into your comment tags. Keep your focus where it belongs, on your content.
Your websites should never have duplicate content if you are going to stay out of the spam filters of search engines. Watch out that you may be using content that is duplicated and not even know about it. Having identical product descriptions on different pages may seem like an efficient thing to do, but search engines are unable to make the necessary distinctions.
Register your website for the popular search engines. A lot of people make the assumption that this is automatically done. Be sure that your website is still available over time. This will help to maximize your search results.
As mentioned earlier, just having a site is not going to bring success. It needs to be search engine optimized to really make a difference. The more people that view your page, the more opportunities you have to make a sale. Make use of the suggestions you found here and boost your site's visibility.
Think about what people would search for to find your site, and use those keywords often in your articles and throughout your web page. You should include keywords throughout your content and in your titles; however, don't overuse them, or you run the risk of having your website deemed to be spam.

I am woman, who wants to find a real gentleman who will love me, take care about me and who will be the most important man for me in the whole world. Instead I will give him all myself, believe me, this is a lot :) Do you know any gentleman? Ask the mirror :)))

15 Resources For Tracing Your Family Ancestry
If you're like me, when you were young, looking beyond your mother and father to find out where you came from just wasn't important. Well, I've found that the older you get, the more important your ancestry becomes. I'm not sure why. Maybe I have a broader perspective on things now. Maybe I'm just curious as to whether there was nobility in my family. Perhaps I'm looking for some closet skeletons.
Whatever my reasons, I do find tracing my ancestry fascinating. It is so interesting to learn about other people--how they lived, what they did, who they knew. But I've also learned along the way that most people haven't a clue what resources are available to them beyond the usual - interviewing family, checking birth certificates and newspapers, etc. So here I've compiled a list of 25 resources you should take advantage of if you're really serious about finding out "where you came from." 1.
The obvious, of course, is interviewing family members; not only mom and dad, but aunts, uncles, distant cousins. Start by drawing a quick family tree going back just two generations and start making calls or sending mail or emails. Here are some of the basic things you'll want to know: Complete names (married and maiden names) Addresses throughout their live Birth records Military service (when and where) Marriage records (even attendants, if possible) Property records (state and county) Burial records (where) Old pictures, especially if they have names and dates 2.Family bibles. While it doesn't seem to be such a common practice these days, in the past, families kept their bible forever, often keeping record of family members, births, marriages, and deaths on pages within the bible. 3.Old family letters. Once again, with technology, we've all but lost the art of letter writing (what will our own children and grand children have to look back on in years to come?). But older generations tended to preserve letters of importance. These letters can oftentimes be of great value in tracing your ancestry.
They may contain important dates, facts, and places that will be of help. Check return addresses and postmarks for information. 4.Legal documents are a great resource. Such documents include deeds (property addresses), wills (names of kin you may not have known about), marriage licenses (note the witnesses), birth certificates, voter registration, adoption records, and even judgements. Your search for these documents should begin with state and county records. 5.What about associations your ancestors may have belonged to? These would include churches, clubs, veterans groups and lodges, all of which may be able to provide background information for your search. 6.Census data.
After 1840 the Census collected age, place of birth, occupation, personal wealth, education, spouse, children, hired hands, and even immigration information. Copies of the original decennial census forms from 1790 through 1930 are available on microfilm for research at the U. National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC (http://www.archives.gov/), at Archives regional centers, and at select Federal depository libraries throughout the United States. 7.Naturalizations records. For Pre-1906 Naturalizations: Contact the State Archives for the state where the naturalization occurred to request a search of state, county, and local courts records. Contact the NARA regional facility that serves the state where naturalization occurred to request a search of Federal court records.
For Naturalizations After 1906: After 1906, the courts forwarded copies of naturalizations to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Naturalizations from Federal Courts are held in the NARA's regional facilities for the Federal courts for their area. Learn more: http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/naturalization/ 8.Grave sites. Headstones will give dates and possible family names. 9.Libraries.

Web server security greatly figures out the type of viewership you get to enjoy taking into consideration that the television web content is broadcast through servers. Choose a provider whose web servers are secure sufficient to save you from freezing and also stuttering when you are streaming.

Introducing: Same business, same woman… different last name.
I've never had a last name that was easy to pronounce at first glance.
So as I make the official transition back to my maiden name, I thought I'd give a little intro and pronunciation hint.
It's Rawleigh… rhymes with jolly.
Or like, the capital of North Carolina, but with a "w" (which is way too much to tell people.)
So jolly works. And it matches who I am and what my photography is all about… bringing smiles to faces.
Spreading beauty and cheer and humor and hope and goofiness wherever I go.

- Lane Keeping Aid
- Blind Spot Information System
A new form of luxury offering more standard safety, tech, and comfort features than any car in its class. This is the XC60.
Available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™), which Volvo pioneered over a decade ago, supports you when you have to change lanes in busy traffic. It alerts you when a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. If needed, the Steer Assist function will gently steer you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night. It also reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles.
360˚ camera
As part of the Advanced Package, our 360° Camera shows you a high-resolution bird's eye view of the area surrounding your Volvo – a great help when you reverse or maneuver in confined areas with impaired visibility.

The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car, particularly convenient when you're hitched to a trailer.

Standard City Safety auto-braking technology helps protect you and those around you. If a collision is imminent ahead, it will brake automatically, reducing impact – or preventing it altogether when you're driving at speeds of 31 mph or less.
Rewarded for its safety technology, the XC60 received top honors as a 2017 Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. When equipped with the Advanced Package.

"Reshape Your Body & Boost Self Confidence"
Tummy tucks are so popular because with age come weakened or separated abdominal muscles, stretch marks and loose skin and tissue from pregnancy and significant weight loss. Undesirable bulges around the midsection make it hard to rock the clothes you wear and even harder to feel confident when unclothed. Armed with information, money, and the will to make changes, more and more women and men are turning back time through body contouring procedures. Who are the best candidates for abdominoplasty or modified mini tummy tucks? Those with:
- Stable body weight, but bulging bellies
- Fat deposits under the skin, rather than internally
- Loose dermal folds from big weight losses
- Stubborn round midsections, despite diet and exercise
- Relaxed abdominal walls and loose skin due to pregnancy or weight loss
A tummy tuck, or "body lift," requires general anesthesia in a hospital setting. Incisions are made above the pubic area, angling to the hipbones. Abdominal muscles may be tightened, fat is liposuctioned where needed, and excess skin is removed. There will be significant scarring, although it fades and flattens with time and is hidden by underwear.
Mommy Makeover
Jogging and regular games of tennis won't fill out deflated breasts. Spinning won't hide your wrinkles, and weight lifting and side planks won't change your belly. Reversing these body changes takes something extra. Premier Plastic Surgery has three of the most qualified cosmetic surgeons in the region, and guess what? We specialize in "mommy makeover" plastic surgery! Our mommy makeovers focus on four main areas:
- Face
- Abdomen
- Breasts
- Genitalia
Clients in their 40s or 50s often opt for something a bit more permanent, procedures such as breast lifts and tummy tucks to turn back the clock and to regain the confidence of a woman who is older and a whole lot wiser. While aging may cause breasts to lose volume, they lose lift, and the areolas and nipples enlarge. Our surgeons have done thousands of breast surgeries, including breast lifts, breast reductions, and breast augmentation using both saline and cohesive gel implants. There are a variety of ways to customize breast augmentation, using a broad spectrum of implant sizes and shapes. The implants can be placed either below the breast tissue and chest muscles or between the breast tissue and muscles.
The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an operation intended to remove extra skin and fat on the abdomen as well as tighten the abdominal wall. It will provide a flatter, smoother abdominal and hip profile.
Reasons For Abdominoplasty Surgery:
The most common reasons for tummy tucks are:
- Appearance of abdomen after child birth
- Extra (redundant) skin after weight loss
- Stretch Marks
- Fat collections that do not respond to dieting
- Weak bulging abdominal wall
Both women and men may be good candidates for a tummy tuck. Make contact with our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons today to find out if Abdominoplasty is right for you.
The tummy tuck procedure is performed under a general anesthetic. The incision is placed just above the pubic hair and angled up toward the hipbones designed to be hidden by underwear or a bathing suit. Another incision is placed just around the naval, leaving it in its natural position. The skin and fat of the abdomen are raised off of the muscle area of the abdomen, and commonly the muscle layers are tightened with sutures, flattening the abdomen and narrowing the waist. Redundant skin and fat are removed at this point. With removal of skin and fat, removal of the most objectionable stretch marks is usually accomplished. The remaining skin is sutured down to the lower incision, and a small incision is made to bring the naval out through this skin at its previous location. Drain tubes are placed under the abdominal skin to remove any fluid that may collect. Often, liposuction is utilized to fine tune the result of tummy tuck surgery.
Immediately after the tummy tuck surgery you will be taken to the recovery room. During the first 24-48 hours we recommend bed rest with knees and hips flexed to take the tension off the newly tightened abdominal wall. You will empty the drain tubes every 12 hours and record the output. Short walks around the house to the bathroom or to meals are encouraged, even the day after the tummy tuck surgery, although initially you will need to walk slightly bent forward. These activities will become much more comfortable on the subsequent days. You will be encouraged not to lift over 5 pounds for the first 6-8 weeks.
In the intermediate recovery period between one and eight weeks after your tummy tuck you will be able to walk more upright and feel more comfortable walking and climbing stairs (which you will be encouraged to do). The drain tubes are usually removed at your first or second post operation appointment within the first three to seven days. There will be a few sutures from your tummy tuck that will require removal at 7-10 days (the rest will be absorbed into your body). Bruising, if present, usually disappears within the first one to two weeks. A majority of the swelling will disappear by this time, however, you will experience continued improvement during the following weeks. After the first two weeks, scar massage will be encouraged to soften and flatten the scar from your tummy tuck. Lifting exercises will be significantly limited for the first 6-8 weeks, however, walking for exercise and related activities such as Elliptical trainers, or bicycling could be attempted as early as four weeks.
Eight weeks after your tummy tuck you are released to perform any type of lifting or exercise activity that you desire. The scars will continue to mature with the pink scars fading to adjacent skin tone over the subsequent weeks and months.
