At his Portland plastic surgery practice, Dr. DeMars has helped many women improve their appearance and confidence through breast augmentation. Below, you will find common breast augmentation questions and facts to help you decide if this popular procedure is right for you.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase the breast size, volume and fullness through the use of saline or silicone breast implants. The procedure can also correct or improve other aesthetic concerns a patient might have. Breast augmentation is also commonly referred to as breast enlargement surgery, breast implant surgery and augmentation mammoplasty. The procedure is often combined with breast lift surgery. Breast augmentation surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this particular procedure.
"I would highly recommend Dr.DeMars for surgery. I had breast augmentation surgery and they look totally natural. We felt very comfortable after leaving our consultation appointment. He took his time and answered all of our questions. It was nice knowing that I had options. This has helped me feel more confident. Recovery time was minimal and never had any complications. They even follow up the next day to make sure you are doing great. Very thankful that we picked Dr. DeMars."
- Jen M., Yelp Review, 1/17/2014
Breast Augmentation: Is It Right for You?
Common reasons for undergoing a breast augmentation procedure are:
An ideal breast augmentation candidate should make the decision to have the procedure by herself and for her own reasons. She should be able to understand all aspects of the procedure and have carefully thought them through. Patients should have realistic expectations for the surgery, be in good physical and mental health, ideally be nonsmokers, and should not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Young women should be at least 18 years old before considering the surgery.
Undergoing breast augmentation surgery involves many important decisions, including breast implant size and type. Dr. DeMars discusses how to make sure you get the best breast augmentation results for you.
What to Expect During a Breast Augmentation Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. DeMars will listen to your goals for your breast size and appearance, answer questions and address any concerns you may have. He will then examine and measure your breasts, and discuss with you what can reasonably be accomplished with surgery to achieve your goals. Factors such as sagging breasts are important to take into consideration, as a breast lift procedure may be necessary in addition to breast augmentation to achieve the best results.
The breast implant type and augmentation technique will also be determined during the consultation, and you will also learn about what to expect the day of the surgery, during your recovery, and during the weeks and months afterward.
During this meeting, please inform Dr. DeMars of any medical conditions, medications, allergies or family medical histories that may be relevant.
Choosing the Type of Breast Implant
Saline and silicone breast implants are both available at Dr. DeMars' Portland plastic surgery practice.
Silicone implants have a silicone shell and are pre-filled with a silicone gel that mimics the feel of human fat. Many patients say that silicone gel has a more natural feel than saline. Silicone breast implants come in a broad range of preset sizes, so each person can meet her individual goal. Silicone implants can be slightly more expensive than saline implants. The FDA recommends that women choosing silicone implants be at least 22 years old and that they have periodic MRIs every two to three years, starting about three years after the initial breast augmentation surgery, to ensure the breast implants' structure and integrity.
Saline implants are comprised of a silicone envelope that is empty when placed into the breast. They are filled with sterile saltwater during the surgical procedure, until the desired breast size is achieved. Therefore, saline implants can be filled to any reasonable size, as determined by the doctor and patient. Dr. DeMars will help you choose the best type of implant for you and your goals.
How to Choose the Best Implant Size
Determining breast implant size is an important decision that you will make during your breast augmentation consultation. It is important to be frank about your ideal size, so the goal size is clear between the doctor and patient. Many Portland breast augmentation patients bring photos to help illustrate their aesthetic goals. When doing so, it is best to bring breast augmentation before & after photos (or regular photos, if before-and-after photos are unavailable) of women who have the same body type and proportions as you and whose breasts are the size and shape that you desire.
Determining Augmentation Placement and Technique
Both kinds of implants (saline and silicone) can be inserted through an incision on the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple) or under the bottom fold of the breast, and can be implanted under or above the pectoral muscle. Dr. DeMars will carefully explain these details to help you determine which is best suited for you, based on your goals.
What Will the Breast Augmentation Procedure Be Like?
The procedure takes about one hour, during which the patient is put to sleep under anesthesia. The incision will be made on the bust, and the implant will be inserted through the incision and centered behind the nipple. If the patient chose a saline implant, the implant will be filled to the desired volume, and then the incision is closed with stitches that will dissolve on their own, over time. Surgical tape is placed over the stitches, and then a special implant bra is applied to help keep the implants in position during the beginning of the healing process. Patients will wake up at the office, where the nursing staff and Dr. DeMars will examine them one more time before being released to a family member or friend who can drive the patient home, the same day.
Recovering From a Breast Augmentation Procedure
You can expect to feel a bit sore and uncomfortable for a few days following a breast augmentation procedure; however, your pain can be managed with a "pain pump" and medication. Recovery time is minimal, and women are often able to return to work within a few days. You may do very light exercise after a few days, such as walking, but should not engage in moderate to strenuous physical activity (such as jogging or doing any heavy lifting) for about four weeks. It is also recommended that you come in for your scheduled follow-up exams and avoid traveling (if not necessary) for the first few weeks after surgery.

Hi Guys,
This has been bugging me now for some time, I have a group of Laptops/Tablet PCs in their own OU on the server, I have a group policy set on staff users that redirects their Application Data folder to an area of the server (along with My Documents/Desktop/Start etc)
I also have a group policy on the Tablet/Laptop OU that says ONLY use a local profile and not Roaming... however this still redirects there App Data folder to the server, so when they work at home or when disconnected from the network, certain programs (Like Adobe Reader) don't work/open because it's looking for the server for the info,
What do I need to do so that this group of computers don't apply the Folder Redirections to the Users??? I'm sure it's probably something simple,
Hope all that makes sense?!?
Any help would be great!

We have recently had this complain from our various Shared hosting as well as Dedicated Server hosting clients that MSSQL Webadmin ASP .NET Enterprise Manager is having a virus / trojan on it. When the first complain arrived we too thought that there seems to be a problem with the server and might be MSSQL Webadmin ASP .NET Enterprise Manager has got an injection in it. But after receiving too many complains from most of our dedicated server clients we started investigating the problem and now we knew that this is something that has happen globally. After viewing MSSQL Webadmin ASP .NET Enterprise Manager on Plesk server it looked as the picture below:
Tag-Archive for ◊ Security ◊
This has been a regular problem with most of our Windows dedicated Server Clients as well as Windows Shared hosting client that has Plesk 8.4 installed on them, specially for those who need write permissions on web user for the ASP .NET/MSSQL and PHP/MySQL application, that the write permissions on the folder get removed own its own without any changes being made by us or the client. After allot of scratching and investigation we were finally able to reveal the secrete about the permissions issue. The problem was not with Plesk but the way we use to set permissions on the folder.
While I was searching for the solution I found the KB articel on Parallels sites below:
It is very easy to block a single IP address on a Linux server but Windows Default firewall doesn't allow us to block a single IP address on the server or for particular ports. However Microsoft released this and introduced IP Security Polices in their Local Security Polices option in the release of their SP2. But most of us are not aware of this option and we mostly adopted third party firewall and pay for their heavy license. However Firewall onl Windows 2008 Server is far more advanced than that on Windows 2003.
It would not be the case now as I have listed detailed steps along with the images on how to block IP using the IP security policy in Windows. This option is also available in XP as well as Windows 2003 Server edition.
How to BLock IP Using Windows:
You can either open MMC from START >> RUN >> MMC and add a new Snapin for IP Security policy with steps below:
EFS Encryption
EFS can be used to encrypt SQL Server 2005 data files and folders. EFS is supported on Windows 2000 and later operating systems with New Technology File Systems (NTFS) formatted drives. EFS uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric methods to provide transparent SQL Server 2005 data encryption. On Windows 2003 Server and newer operating systems, EFS by default creates a random File Encryption Key, which is a 256-bit AES key to perform data encryption.The File Encryption Key is then itself encrypted with the user's public key and stored within the encrypted file or folder.
To encrypt SQL Server 2005 data files and folders using EFS, follow these steps:
1. Stop the SQL Server service.
2. Log out and log in using the SQL Server service account credentials.
3. Right-click on the file or folder to be encrypted and select Properties | General Tab | Advanced.

"Love everything about this card. I was able to use them as both announcement cards and shower thank you cards. People reached out to me thanking me for the card when they got it. All thank yous for the beautiful card."
"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"I should have ordered more! This card turned out really well. I used the plain green/blue back and used a white pen to write personal messages to recipients. I had professional newborn photos done, so this was a good way to showcase them. Other colour options would be great."
"We were very happy with this card - the print and card quality were excellent! The gold is probably not as shimmery as the picture on the website makes out but it still looks excellent and we expected this as it says that it is printed without any metallic ink or foil. We chose the pearl paper which was really nice. We're in Australia and it came really promptly. We used Wedding Paper Divas for our wedding invites and I will use Tiny Prints again for sure!"
"This card was beautiful. Everyone loved it! I used it as a thank you/birth announcement for my 2 month old christening and for family/freinds who had given us a gift when he was born. I included pictures on the front of my 2 month old by himself and two pictures on the back with his big brother. I like the square sized card. As well added the shimmer. Looks elegant. Love the card and love working with tiny prints.i included a picture because when I read reviews I enjoy seeing the product the customer actual has in hand."

I must have not been paying attention, because I definitely missed the memo stating that co-op is what's hot in the streets right now. It's like I dozed off for a second, and when I came to, everyone had long since forgotten about the words "competitive multiplayer", let alone pasting it onto an otherwise solid game unnecessarily.
The next few years are going to be dangerous for me. I'm a product of my time; gaming in the 90's was chock-full of co-op local and arcade gameplay. Metal Slug, Contra, Double Dragon, Gradius, X-men, Captain Commando, The Simpsons, Turtles In Time, I could go on, but there's a good chance that the list of co-op games in my childhood would match the length of the rest of this article.
My upbringing has made me the perfect mark for developers and publishers to push co-op titles. I have to discern between when a game is trying to deliver a dynamic team experience, and when a developer decides that one more of the same guy is enough. If a game would be better off as a whole product by focusing on a single player campaign, I'd rather enjoy a stronger product by myself than have it watered down so I can play with a buddy.
A perfect example is Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The character-driven narrative in the FoC gives up the cooperative experience that existed in the first game in favor of making the individual characters stand out. Rather than getting interchangeable robots and samey level design, we were treated to an experience that differentiates characters from each other and further drives the narrative experience of the franchise.
Circling back to the topic at hand, solid team dynamics create a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. In a medium that is dominated by destruction as a means to an end, it takes forward-thinking individuals to see how lowering one's own output may spell out a greater, efficacious experience for everyone involved. Tanking, support, or just overall utility all outweigh damage in terms of priority when putting together a solid team. Systems that encourage the use of diverse roles and reward players that see the big picture provide a greater experience for players and spectators alike.
This is one of the factors that make League of Legends the most successful game in the world right now. While the MOBA platform may be considered inherently competitive, it's the cooperative team dynamics that drive the competition to greater heights. Players are encouraged (and in the case of a character bans, forced) to learn multiple characters and roles for the sake of building a stronger group, capable of facing new additions, an ever-changing metagame, and adapting to whatever tactics and curveballs their enemies may throw at them.
(There is actually a lot more to the phenomenon that is League of Legends, but that deserves its own feature. Riot is king of the world right now, and rightfully so.)
It's a solid concept, and yet one that video gaming has only recently adopted outside of the FPS genre. Popular sports have utilized the foundation of team competition to great success for centuries. There are individual players that rise far above the rest, but their rapid ascent can be met with an abrupt crash the second their self-assurance turns into hubris. A player's fans will suddenly (and understandably) turn on him or her if the team suffers at the hands of a one (wo)man show.
Putting oneself aside for the sake of a greater outcome reminds me of one of the most polarizing teams in sports right now, the Miami Heat. There are many criticisms thrown at the NBA champs, a number of them stemming from the accusation that their sheer existence was born of the pure desire to win. My question is why is that such a bad thing?
James, Wade, and Bosh each took a pay cut and/or left cities where they had all of the glory for the sake of accomplishing something greater as a group. Isn't that the very definition of teamwork? Shouldn't that be the mindset that we desire out of team sports? The desire to work as a cohesive group shows in their tactics on the court, is it any wonder that they've been met with such success? Creating a veritable supergroup only works to push the level of competition upward in a fashion that is almost Darwinian in nature.
But I digress; I won't put up the pretense that I understand the nuances of professional sports. There are likely a dozen factors that I haven't considered, and I won't feign expertise for the sake of attempting to slam-dunk my point. As it stands, I think cooperative play in video games has a long way to go, and it's encouraging to see the industry embrace it for all its strengths.
This might be bias speaking, but Borderlands gets it right. Gearbox touts their title as a strong co-op experience, and it delivers on that claim. Insomniac's Fuse is a promising foray into the concept, featuring up to four characters with diverse abilities and armaments in a single third-person-shooter campaign. Uncharted teases us with a limited version of co-op, but has yet to go whole hog on the idea. Part of me is hoping Naughty Dog drops the bomb on us in the near future. Mass Effect's cooperative multiplayer has erupted into something that I don't even think Bioware expected, and it is glorious.
If the trend keeps up, gaming as a majority stands to see a level of content production and replay value that only MMORPGs have really made a point to keep up. And I, for one, could not be more excite

But this is a company town, and politics is the business. While there are plenty of balls and galas requiring black-tie dress and a trillion-dollar coin to get in, there are other ways to get in on the fun....

Pinsent Masons faces lawsuit following trainee assault
Readers' comments (29)
But, I am your lawyer.
If the trainee can show that he had previously assaulted another trainee in the same firm, and then evidence the lack of action / training and supervision or even judgement by the employer by putting him in that position again (supervising trainees) then I think he has a case against the firm as they have a DoC to protect their employees etc.
The offender is a partner, surely there are clauses attached to his behaviour in the workplace especially when it exceeds gross misconduct?
Reference the above comments.
1. Employers can be found liable for the actions of employees.
2. The offender is not a partner. He is 3 years PQ and I suspect a senior assistant at best.
Did he goto jail?
utter stupidity
Sentenced to 100 hours Community Service according to the Lawyer.
Whole new slant on eat what you kill
A claim against one of the biggest firms in the UK should not be attempted lightly, also the real question is how far should an employees actions out of work hours reflect on a business, is this really worthy of the courts time?
This seems to be an isolated incident and provided that there are mechanisms in place to handle this sort of situation at Pinsent Masons it would be unreasonable to hold the firm responsible for one drunken fool. If Pinsent Masons were remissive in checking for outstanding convictions then there is a slight chance. Furthermore this sounds awfully akin to the compensation mentality. Punch ups happen, you send your assailant to jail and get damages and maybe compensation from him and he gets jail time.
He should have the brute sent to jail and be content the justice system works, and not try to shoot the moon. As a solicitor I am sure that there are better uses of his time.

keep your friends close, but the people who have a chance at becoming famous closer
Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.

Lupus Health Center
Women With Lupus at Higher Risk for Hip Fractures?
For those reasons, experts in recent years have been focusing on using the lowest dose possible of steroids to control symptoms, Pisetsky said.
To help preserve bone health, Pisetsky tells his lupus patients to get enough calcium and vitamin D and to take bone-maintenance drugs, if their doctor decides they are necessary.
Getting regular exercise can help too, he said. With age, lupus patients should try to preserve their balance, which also can reduce the risk of falls.
Study co-author Wang reported serving on advisory boards and receiving honoraria for speaking from several pharmaceutical companies. The study was funded by the Taiwan National Science Council, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and other institutions.

To be perfectly honest with you, when Piloti driving shoes first appeared in magazine ads I could not help but chuckle. "People will buy anything these days," I mused, conjuring up some alternative ad copy: For the discriminating driver, we present our discriminating little driving booties-matching silk ascot and poodle wrap optional. I turned the page and didn't really think about them much after that. After all, where I grew up in Scranton, Pa., engineer's boots sufficed as "driving shoes."
Last fall, events coalesced that made me think better of Piloti driving shoes. First, I had taken my BMW R1150R motorcycle to Lime Rock Park racetrack, not to race, but for the annual Rolex Vintage Festival, sponsored by BMW. Second, my sneakers-men generally have only one pair at a time-were shot at the time and I had been meaning to buy two new pair: one pair for jogging and one pair for general use, including driving. Third, I had worn old Navy-issue combat boots which have been pressed into service as motorcycle boots. BMW riders do not wear sneakers on a motorcycle. Fourth, my feet were killing me as I walked miles around Lime Rock Park in sunny, dusty, 95-degree temperatures wearing the gnarly old boots. Fifth, there was this hot-looking girl hawking Piloti driving shoes outside of Driving Impressions, Lime Rock Park's on-site tchotchke store that also sells racing supplies, Red Line Oil... and Piloti driving shoes.
It was one of those moments when seemingly unrelated forces descend upon you, creating a strong temptation to do something you would not normally do, like spend $75 on a pair of driving shoes.
I chatted up the girl, bought a pair of Piloti Spyder SVs in ecosse and race yellow, (ecosse must be marketing for "blue"), threw the Navy boots in the box, and went about my business with happy feet. They are pretty comfortable for walking around, but it was not until the next day when I drove my car that the Pilotis showed their true worth. The thin, highly flexible sole and softly curved heel area really do make it easier to match-speed shift and heel-and-toe with a manual gearbox. I don't know about lap times, but the feel is certainly improved, and I have noticed it is easier to get used to the pedal interface and idiosyncrasies of different cars. After all, people in this line of work often drive many different cars.
I had almost forgotten about the shoes, not expecting to discern a significant driving advantage, when all of the sudden there it was-the Tool of the Month, right there on my feet. OK, so they're not really technically tools, but then again they are if you think about them as driving tools. Here's the caveat: I wear size 9 shoes. If you have gigantic feet, probably no shoe is going to help you heel-toe a Lotus Europa, but I'd still recommend trying some Pilotis.
I decided to look into Piloti further, and I was impressed by the company. Piloti was founded by Kevin Beards and makes its shoes in the United States. The low-cut Spyder SV is the newest shoe in the Piloti Touring line. Using a patented Roll Control(tm) heel reinforced on the lateral side of the right shoe for proper heel-and-toe downshifting, the Touring line was created to give enthusiasts an alternative to Piloti's fire-resistant shoes while retaining the same fit and performance. Piloti has also added a unique toggle lacing system, little quick-release plastic thingies on the laces, so you don't have to tie them. The shoes are sold with regular laces, as well, in case that is your preference. The Spyder SV is constructed of suede and mesh or leather and mesh.
To the girl selling shoes I was like the Invisible Man, only with a visible credit card. But my BMW 325Ci now seems to like me better; the Piloti Spyder SVs helped me learn that blipping the throttle for matched-speed shifting in a BMW with a clutch delay valve is a very precise affair, requiring nary a touch of the accelerator, as opposed to the more direct action required with an older Bimmer. I couldn't feel that before in regular sneakers-really. Feel free to send silk ascots, but please, no poodles.

Do you ever see something, and then just repeat the word 'sick' over and over in your brain and maybe out loud too? That happened to me today when I saw a video linked on Planned Parenthood's 'Info for Teens' Facebook page instructing abused teenage girls how to use makeup to disguise bruises.
The girl in the video suffers from a black eye and split lip, and she matter-of-factly shows the viewer how to layer makeup appropriately to hide any injuries occurred as a result of domestic abuse.
Among other advice, the video host recommends using concealer to "hide any splits from watches or rings" and wearing a scarf for covering any strangulation marks on your neck. As for her black eye, she remarks, "If you've got a lot of bruisin' from being pushed hard against a coffee table, you can gently apply layer after layer, and you will cover it up slightly ... it might hurt."
The video ends abruptly as a noise is heard off camera, and a message is shown --
65% of women who suffer domestic violence keep it hidden ... don't cover it up.
The video is intended to be part of a campaign to end domestic violence, but the way it is promoted on Planned Parenthood's Facebook page -- how to look your best the morning after -- is appalling. They make no effort in the post to change the title of the video or comment on its hideous inappropriateness. As LifeNews.com points out, "That headline makes a world of difference to young teens who run across the video."
Screenshot of Planned Parenthood's 'Info for Teens' Facebook page
Whether or not this video was intended for shock value to raise awareness, or as an actual instructional piece, I think it's abhorrent. It's like reading a teen magazine article about anorexia or bulimia full of tips and tricks on how to better starve yourself and/or hide your symptoms. There are ways to raise awareness about issues without giving girls instructions on how to go further down a destructive path.
Watch the video and see for yourself:
Do you think it's appropriate for Planned Parenthood to put a link to this video on their 'Info for Teens' Facebook page?
Images via YouTube and Facebook
Did you even bother watching the video to the end to see that it is speaking out AGAINST domestic violence before you wrote this article? Lauren Luke made this to bring awareness to women hiding their abuse and Planned Parenthood posted the video to bring awareness to young women who relate to putting on makeup, who might be abused and who might have already covered their bruises before. Yes, I think it's totally appropriate for them to have posted this! You have to reach out to victims in any way that you can.
You actually are scraping the bottom of the lunatic barrel now. This video is really striking, it's a brilliant awareness campaign. If YOU choose to read something that isn't there so be it, but don't try make it sound credible, we aren't buying it.
This video is blatantly obvious in it's message. I am a little confused as to how anyone could misunderstand the intent? Even down the abrupt ending and the panicked look on her face.
Classic. Would you rather have Nancy Reagan shake her bony finger and smile, "Just Say No," or Michelle Obama do a "Let's Move" how-to-pack-a-suitcase-in-under-30-seconds PSA? Why are you so resistant to acknowledging the realities of abuse as a teaching awareness tool? Do you really think this is a tutorial on how to cover it up and live the life? You think people are that dumb? I agree with others here, top to bottom.
Oh, silly Jenny!!! Why am I not surprised? The controversial title is to get girls to watch the video. Obviously, it's going to get more views than a video titled, "Domestic Violence PSA".
It's just like bloggers at The Stir use controversial/misleading titles to get more views and comments. You should know that, you do it all the time, Jenny.

The Vampire Diaries villain Enzo may be dead, but his revenge is only just beginning.
After learning that the love of his life, Maggie (Heather Hemmens), was killed by his own best friend Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Enzo (Michael Malarkey) flipped the 'ol humanity switch so he could exact retribution without a care in the world. After battling it out with Stefan (Paul Wesley), Enzo died, but fortunately for him, he can still make moves from the crumbling other side — and no one, not even Caroline (Candice Accola), is necessarily safe.

Prospective buyer
What can I say about Linda, except that she is on point. It doesn't matter the price of the house she is trying to sell. She gives you the same dedication to helping you close as she would with a high priced home. From beginning to the end, she is on top of everything. She responds quickly to emails, text messages and voicemail. I can't brag enough about Linda. I highly recommend Linda!! My sister was the purchaser and as a first time home buyer, she was happy that Linda was her agent.
Robert G.
Home buyer in douglasville
Before we met Linda, we spoke over the phone from New York. She kept in constant touch with us, by phone, and sent us Home Picture Notifications by e-mail as well. When we finally met Linda personally, she was very warm and personable. The sonsummate professional realtor. Although we became practically set on this 5025 Chapel Crossing home immediately, we knew we should continue to look at other homes. Linda went out of her way to present several other locations she thought we would be pleased with. After the closing, she surprise us with a beautiful gift basket. WOW! We should have sent HER a gift basket! We have several relatives interested in moving to Georgia from NYC. We will not hesitate to refer them to Linda Meyers with the full confidence that she will help them find 'THE' home, as she did us. Linda Meyers is a great realtor, and a great lady!!!

So You Think You Want to Write Fiction
- Tuesday, May 24, 2011
What do pushing a boulder up a hill, running a marathon, and climbing Mount Everest have in common?
They're all easier than writing good fiction.
But with enough practice and focus, almost anyone can learn to write fiction well. Add determination and willingness to accept honest critique, and you can make that fiction publishable too.
At its heart, the process of writing fiction doesn't change whether you're creating short stories, novels, or epic verse. A successful writer needs inspiration, dedication, honest support, perseverance, and skin like a rhinoceros—as well as a calling to put the words on the page.
The first step is inspiration. Find the story you were called to write, one that grabs your imagination and refuses to let go. Don't try to write "the next big thing" or a book "just like Bestseller X." Make your plot and characters uniquely your own. Not only does this help avoid legal problems such as plagiarism and copyright infringement, but it also lets your voice shine through. A writer whose voice rings true and clear doesn't need fancy gimmicks or overwritten prose.
Once you find your story—or it finds you—dedication and perseverance must kick in. If you don't hold on with the determination of Jacob, the blessing of a completed work will never be yours. Write on a schedule, even if you can spare only a few minutes at a time. Regular practice makes writing easier and helps ensure that you will finish what you start.
When you complete the first draft, stay on schedule. You haven't finished yet! Good fiction requires extensive revision. Published authors usually write six or seven drafts before giving the work to peer editors for review, and several more before sending the manuscript to an agent or publisher. Good writing involves rewriting, and editing is a skill that takes time and practice to develop. Love your first draft or you'll never reach the end, but learn to reread with a critical eye.
Writers draft in isolation, but seldom review and edit without help. A writer needs strong support in the form of honest peer editors and trustworthy beta readers. This usually doesn't mean your mom, your spouse, or your best-forever -friend. Those people are important for the emotional support they provide, but they often love you too much to tell you that your work stinks. And in the beginning, it always stinks. No marathon runner starts out running two-minute miles, and no writer makes the bestseller list in a day. Runners train with honest coaches, and writers must do the same.Find someone who knows fiction, an avid reader with a strong understanding of grammar, voice, and style, and ask him or her (or them, if you find more than one) to peer-edit your work when you've reached an acceptable draft. Explain that you're looking for honesty, and prepare yourself to receive it. React with grace when you get the truth you've asked for. If you behave badly or refuse to accept critique, no one will read your work honestly thereafter, and you might as well put writing away for good.
Learning to accept critique has two equally important benefits. It helps you improve your prose, and it teaches you to react professionally to criticism and rejection—two unpleasant cousins that all writers must experience and accept. A writer who wants to transition from hobbyist to published author needs sterling skills and skin like a rhino, impervious to attack.
Once you have a finished story that you and your support team consider "publication ready," you will need to decide whether you want to pursue traditional publishing (in magazines, online e-zines, or with a brick-and-mortar press), self-publishing (electronically, in physical books, or both), blog-publishing (usually on your own website), or something else entirely. Your options are wide open, but you must choose before you act, or you could unintentionally damage your chances of success. For example, most agents won't represent self-published authors who haven't sold more than ten thousand copies in self-published form. If you plan a career in traditional publishing, you generally need to work on that first and to the exclusion of other options.

Arcapita assigned BBB credit rating by Standard & Poor's
Arcapita Bank B.S.C.(c) - a leading international investment firm headquartered in Bahrain, announced today that Standard & Poor's has assigned Arcapita a BBB/A-2/Stable rating.
This rating, which is above the minimum investment grade, is a reflection of the measured growth of the firm over the last nine years, and its commitment to conservative balance sheet management. S&P stated in its analysis of Arcapita, "The ratings reflect Arcapita's strong profitability, satisfactory capitalization, sound liquidity, and the good diversification of its investment portfolio."
Atif A.Abdulmalik, CEO of Arcapita, stated "This rating is an important achievement for Arcapita which will enable us to significantly expand our funding sources in markets such as Europe, the United States and Asia. It will also allow us to further reduce our financing costs as we continue to grow our business, and we will be able to pass on these savings in the results we can deliver for our investors."
Arcapita has recently closed its largest transaction to date, the €650 million acquisition of Paroc Holding Sverige AB, a leading manufacturer of insulation products based in Finland, and received shareholder approval for the acquisition of Viridian plc, a $4.2 billion electricity company based in Northern Ireland.

Based on real failed inventions.
The Avion III was the latest and most successful prototype aircraft built by brilliant French engineer Clement Ader. Powered by steam engine and two leaf-like propellers, with ribbed, batlike wings, Ader claimed that his plane achieved flight in 1897, long before the Wright Brothers flew their first glider at Kitty Hawk. After an unsuccessful test flight, the French military, who were funding his work, revoked Ader's grant. He never built another plane, and his creations were largely forgotten. Learn More.
The Ictineo I was an early submarine constructed by Spanish entrepreneur Narcis Monturriol, after he witnessed the death of a man trying to harvest coral off a reef in Cadaques. Monturriol's round, wooden craft was powered and steered mechanically by its pilot, using a broad fin on the tail end of the vehicle. Though it made a few successful test voyages, Monturriol's other craft was accidentally destroyed by a passing ship, and he went bankrupt. The Ictineo I was scrapped for parts. Learn More.
The Beach Pneumatic Transit (1870) was an early subway system, constructed and proposed by Alfred Beach, that was run entirely on compressed air generated by giant fans. The luxury system, which featured opulent white stone stations and fully upholstered cars, was an initial success but was abandoned and forgotten after money ran out mid-construction. Beach died of pneumonia not long after. While the modern New York subway was being constructed, the stations were rediscovered, and subsequently destroyed. Learn More.

Our theory has always been that people used '68 cars for long road trips in 1968, so why not now? This trip was nearly as simple as turning the key—and flipping some extra switches and wiggling some wires—but there are certainly things to prepare for if you're going to follow in our tread tracks. We got lucky with a warm spell, so it was around 10 degrees each morning, and our carburetor gave us no real trouble. The V-belt was frozen to the pulleys one morning, and worse, the Corona was frozen in the bed. Nearly all the driving was on hard-packed snow and some ice, but we were prepared with Continental Extreme Winter Contact tires that had amazing traction. We'd also rigged a Summit Racing universal heater and defroster, which was a lifesaver, and we were happy to have a rack of IPF off-road lights on the front bumper (though they needed to be cleared of muddy ice a couple times a day). The bed was loaded with a reasonable amount of spares, chemicals, and tools. Because winter conditions are unpredictable, and the weather can get well below zero, we also carried extra water, sleeping bags, candles, freeze-dried camp food, lights, and a tow strap (plus we'd welded hooks to the car before we left). We carried 15 gallons of gas at all times, because many of the gas stations are closed in winter and civilization is sporadic.
While the Alaska Highway surface is nowhere near as brutal as its reputation, some sections are still thick with gravel that can easily break headlights and windshields. Our video truck ended up with two punctures in the same tire. There are stretches of road rippled with frost heaves that turn the road into whoop-de-dos. In ice, around corners, the heaves can toss the car sideways, and if you go off the road, there are a few cliffs that will scramble your giblets pretty good. In winter, at least it's cold enough to preserve your body and make it easier to identify the remains. In summer, the bears make that much harder. You don't want to hit those guys with a car, either—it pretty much just annoys them—but it can be worse if you catch a 1,000-pound moose through the windshield. There are also sheep, elk, and bison to look out for. And don't leave food in the car unless you want viral video of a grizzly ripping it open like a paper bag. The trip is not a simple run to the market, but the reward is sheer beauty and a sense of accomplishment. Having done this in both spring and winter, we highly recommend the scenery in the snow.
When we finally hit the U.S. border around midnight, the border guard recognized the Ranchero from 20 yards away and said, "You finally made it to Alaska!" All the guys at the station had followed our previous journey on YouTube and in HOT ROD. It was the best welcome to America ever, followed closely by the hospitality of the Alaska Sports Car Club (AKSportsCarClub.org), which we'd come to race with. The club is located in Anchorage, and the racetrack is the several-foot-thick frozen surface of Big Lake, an hour and a half away. Our entire journey was based on seeing a two-minute video of the action, and we really didn't know what we were in for.
It turns out we were a freak show—that surprises you?—by having the only V8 car there. The only other rear-wheel-drives were a couple Mazda RX7s, as the rest were front-wheel-drive—or better—all-wheel drive. The classes were divided based on studded tires or the non-studded rubber-to-ice and further separated by AWD or two-wheel drive. All classes were in a single-run group on a twisting track, roughly 3⁄4 mile in length, plowed into the surface of the lake. It was 21⁄2 to 3 car widths wide and bermed with 2-foot-high snowbanks. Racing is wheel-to-wheel, though most of the cars are daily drivers, so body contact is strongly discouraged.
"This is Alaska—you're in America, not California."— U.S. Border Guard
Doing this in a muscle car is insane, especially with practice limited to parking-lot donuts in the prior week. In early races, the surface proved more tractable than we'd guessed, as it was covered with a blow-over of snow that aided bite. However, that snow would move around, changing the line every lap. As the day wore on, and when the studded-tire cars went home and stopped stippling the ice, the surface became increasingly polished to the point of near-zero traction, and we could do little more than idle around the track. At least that tactic let us finish one out of five heats. Most of our races were spent stuffed into snow banks watching Subarus drive past.
Nevertheless, we did it. Normal people wouldn't, and we did. We're hot rodders. We win.
Thanks, Gene!
Gene Neal of Bulletproof Diesel (BulletproofDiesel.com) volunteered to haul our video crew 3,700 miles to capture the story of our trip. He did it in a Ford Excursion 4x4 with a 6.0L diesel, because his business is all about curing the weaknesses of that engine.
Yep, Gene had to pull the Ranchero out of a snow bank one time—but the Ranchero had hauled him from a ditch a day earlier, so we're calling it even.

Now that the Sunday Times has been linked in with it, the toxic nature of News Corp is out for all to see; this runs far deeper than simply one newspaper, or a tabloid mentality. This is a respectable, probably the most respected, paper in the country, if not the world, and it is now tarred not only with its association with News Corp, but by its own actions.
The Dowlers have called for Brooks to go. There is no way back for her, or for Murdoch's takeover of BSkyB. Which is good. Cameron realises how debilitating it would be to not sever all public links with Murdoch, and with his and his team's fear of the public perception of the cuts, he won't take the risk.
Good has come of this, if only it means Murdoch's vice like grip on British (and American, and Australian...) politics has been shattered. What's worrying is how close we were to having a British Fox News; because that would certainly have occurred sometime down the line if he took control of BSkyB, under the current guise of Sky News or otherwise.

I'm giving up frivolous shopping, too! There are so many better things I can be doing with that money (saving, tithing, using it to take a friend out to dinner!).
Oh, and also... "Fast from worry; feast on divine order" - you know how hard I'm working on trusting His timing, and not worrying about things! Thank you for this, I need that gentle reminder :)

What IS it with Target? They may as well place a little machine at the front door and have you deposit $100 when you walk in, because it is haaaarrrrdddd to get out of their for much cheaper.
I love a ton of the points in the reflection you posted, but I need to figure out more PATIENCE. Soon. Like, right now. Possibly yesterday.

What a beautiful reflection!
And seriously, what is it about Target that makes you want to buy stuff you don't need? And the clearance racks?! Trouble I tell you.

I've never participated in Lent, but this post really makes me want to. There are so many things I do that don't necessarily make me a better person. I could be using my time in a more efficient way, and I think I forget that sometimes!
Also. Target is like crack. I can never get out of there without spending an arm and a leg on stuff I don't even need. But, I love it.

Best of luck with your goals through out lent, this will be my first year every really giving up anything for this time period. (lent)

I love all of your resolutions..... going to be tough but well worth it! As you know, I've given up sweets too as well as using any electronics while my children are around.
