State police blow up pipe bomb found in Carlsbad shooting
Police still aren't releasing names
A pipe bomb found by Carlsbad Police during a shooting investigation Friday was detonated by the New Mexico State Police bomb squad.
CPD Detective Sgt. Andrew Swanson said investigators found the explosive device when a search warrant was executed at a residence on West Texas Street.
Swanson said the bomb squad arrived in Carlsbad Saturday morning and a robot was used to pick up the device, which was successfully blown up.

After the bomb was blown up, Carlsbad Police executed a search warrant and collected evidence related to an shooting reported Friday afternoon
Swanson said the evidence gathering wrapped up Saturday around 3 p.m.
The investigation continues and Swanson said the names of the suspect and victim aren't being released, "due to safety reasons."
Swanson said police officers received a report of a shooting victim at the corner of Kircher Street and San Jose Boulevard Friday afternoon.

A probe of that shooting later led officers to the 2200 block of West Texas.
A resident of the neighborhood who didn't want to be identified, said officers arrived on the crime scene between 3 and 3:30 p.m.
"I was inside and didn't think nothing of it," the person said.
"The Carlsbad Police Department usually does traffic work (around the neighborhood). It was close to 3:30 p.m. when I went into the kitchen and heard them on the megaphone."
The eyewitness said officers had their weapons drawn as the suspect was taken to police headquarters for questioning.

Four frenzy lightning wolves raised their heads and howled loudly.
Pit pat pit pat.
The rain poured from above as the curtains of water interweaved, and dark clouds roamed the sky. It caused the weather to turn dark, obstructing the vision of many.
"Quick, the northern gate has a breach, quickly go there, Sheng Nan group!"
"Healing Gu Master? We have a heavily injured person here!!"
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill all these bastard wolves!"
The wolves' cries were countered by the Gu Masters' shouting.
Almost everyone was bathed in blood as they battled ferociously.
Surrounding the village, battles ensued, spreading like wildfire.
The people's cheers, the wolves' cries, the sound of the rain, mixed in with the sound of the wind.
Uncountable number of lightning wolves rushed towards the village walls. The pitfall trap before the walls had already been flattened by a thick layer of wolf corpses, and as they were led by the numerous bold lightning wolves, the lightning wolves had a strong charging force together.
Rank one and Rank two Gu Masters fought bravely on the frontlines. Large amounts of moonblades flew towards the wolf packs, slaughtering numerous lightning wolves.
But the wolf packs still sent out lightning currents and lightning balls towards the village, bringing injuries and fatalities to the clan.
"Elder Fang Yuan, this is the medicine hall's newest injury report, please take a look!" A Gu Master in charge of transmitting information quickly arrived, and after seeing Fang Yuan, greeted him and handed over the report with both hands.
Fang Yuan was now a Rank three Gu Master, thus as a clan elder, his mission by the clan was to lead the Gu Masters in suppressing the western area.
Fang Yuan removed his attention from the battlefield and took the report, saying to the Gu Master, "You may leave."
The Gu Master paid his respects before taking his leave.
His speed was fast, and by using Gu worm to accelerate his body, he quickly left to the next area.
Any Gu Master in charge of information dissemination had at least one movement assist-type Gu worm, while some even had two.
Fang Yuan opened the report, taking a glance.
The injury toll on the report gave a feeling of considerable shock.
Until now, the wolf tide had attacked the village over ten times. The injury and death of the clan's Gu Masters was very severe. This led the clan elders to be so frantic, and the Gu Master that took over the medicine hall, Gu Yue Chi Zhong, felt even greater pressure. As a middle-aged man, he even had several white hair growing out some days ago!
But Fang Yuan had his previous life's memories and was mentally prepared, thus he was not surprised.
"This wolf tide is one of the most severe ones in the Gu Yue clan's history. Such injuries and death is unavoidable."
He thought this in his heart, and as moonlight gathered in his palm, he reduced this report to ashes.
This report, only clan elders had the authority to view it. If it was released to the masses, it would cause social instability.
Despite this, the Gu Yue clan was already in a panicky state, as the feelings of instability got stronger by the day.
At this point, the moonlight in Fang Yuan's palm was no longer the eerie blue colour, but of blood colour.
This is the Rank three Blood Moon Gu.
To refine this Gu, Fang Yuan had failed once, and only on his second attempt did he succeed.
As for the refinement ingredients, he naturally extorted Gu Yue Chi Lian for it.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes, his mind entering into his aperture.
In the aperture, the aperture walls were shining and dimming at regular intervals without a single drop of impurity; it was a pure white state.
His primeval essence was fully white in colour, but also emitted a lustre of a silver metallic glow — this is the Rank three Gu Master's white silver primeval essence.
Water gathers into a sea - in his aperture it was a white silver primeval sea.
On the surface, there was originally a black red residue, but now it was no longer there.
The Cleansing Water Gu he forced out of Gu Yue Chi Lian had long been used. The Man-beast Life Burial Gu's side effect was completely eliminated.
But this was not without a price.
Fang Yuan's aptitude lowered a little from 44% C grade — due to the Man-beast Life Burial Gu, it dropped by 2%, to a maximum capacity of 42%.
But this price, Fang Yuan was prepared for it.
In fact, it was all thanks to Gu Yue Chi Lian. If not for the Cleansing Water Gu and letting that black red residue corrupt the primeval essence any longer, Fang Yuan's aptitude would decrease even further.
A white-shell, black spotted ladybug danced in the air above the sea. This was the Sky Canopy Gu.
The Stealth Scales Gu with a stonefish appearance was deep inside the primeval sea.
Four Flavors Liquor worm was playing with the waves above the sea surface.
As for the newly refined Blood Moon Gu, its appearance was similar to the Moonlight Gu, residing in Fang Yuan's right palm, turning into a red crescent insignia.
As for the Rank three Thunderwings Gu, it resided in Fang Yuan's back as two lightning bolt tattoos.
To be worth mentioning is the Spring Autumn Cicada.
Its condition was getting better, and was recovering quicker. This situation caused Fang Yuan to rejoice and at the same time worry.
Spring Autumn Cicada is Rank six, but he is still Rank three, and at this time his aperture is unable to hold a fully recovered Spring Autumn Cicada.
The Spring Autumn Cicada's aura was getting stronger. Like using a paper tube to contain rocks, the aperture would not be able to handle the load.
"If I'm left with no choice, I can only raise it outside of my body," Fang Yuan sighed.
That had great implications.
Rank six Gu worms are implicated with Dao, containing the law fragments of heaven and earth. If left outside for extended periods, it would create a resonance with the natural laws, unless the Gu worm is slumbering. Otherwise the commotion would be huge, as it would cause all sorts of natural phenomena, attracting the attention and greed of other experts.
But this was a solution out of necessity.
At this point, a loud shrill wolf howl suddenly entered everyone's ears.
Fang Yuan gathered his spirits.
"Lord clan elder, the frenzy lightning wolf has entered the battle! Gu Yue Jiang Jian and two others elders are at the eastern gate blocking them, they hope you can go and assist," a Gu Master frantically reported.
The sound of lightning cracked as two wings sprouted from Fang Yuan's back.
These two wings were formed by blue lightning, the form abstract and simple. But with a flap, it brought Fang Yuan high into the sky, and with a fast speed, he sped towards the eastern gate.
Flying in a straight line in the air, Fang Yuan got to the battlefield in a few breath's time.
The frenzy lightning wolf was trying to break through the eastern gate, and a few clan elders were near the door aggressively engaging in battle.
The frenzy lightning wolf jumped abruptly out of the battlefield and with a swing of its tail, swept at a female Rank one Gu Master at the corner.
This Gu Master's face went pale. She could only hear the sound of the winds blowing as the wolf tail swept at her, and in her heart she screamed - "I'm doomed!"
With her ability, she could neither dodge nor take the hit.
But at this crucial moment, a shadow descended from the sky, hugging her.
The young girl felt the world spinning before her. When she finally recovered, all she saw was that she was flying in mid-air, while the wolf tail swept right below her; a two storey bamboo building took the hit and was shaking violently.
Her expression got dimmer. If she was hit right on by this tail, she would've turned into meat pulp.
Soon after, she realized that she was saved.
Who saved her?
She stared at this person, and was stunned.
It's him?
Gu Yue Fang Yuan!
At once, the young girl's heart was filled with complexity; it was impossible to describe with words.
She and Fang Yuan were classmates. Fang Yuan had formerly extorted her primeval stones, thus she hated him greatly.
But she had to be amazed at his achievements, especially after news of him advancing to clan elder spread, causing her to be in shock and admiration.
Compared to Fang Yuan, she was also a C grade talent, but was now only a Rank one.
Now, she was saved by Fang Yuan once.
He was a true lifesaver!
She was filled with gratitude towards Fang Yuan, and under her shock and admiration, her lingering hatred was also gone with this.
"The battlefield here is dangerous, retreat far away." Fang Yuan's wings flapped, landing on the ground and placing her down gently.
He had some impression towards this young girl. They were possibly classmates, but he could not remember her name.
Saying so, he turned around and left, no longer flying. Instead he sprinted, entering the battlefield.
The Thunderwings Gu's speed was fast, but its primeval expenditure was faster. Fang Yuan being only C grade talent, among the Rank three Gu Masters in terms of purely primeval essence storage, he is the lowest tier possible, thus he needed to conserve his primeval essence more than others.
Blood Moon Gu!
He threw a moonblade out.
The moonblade was blood red in color, and upon hitting the frenzy lightning wolf's body, it caused an injury that bled continuously.
The young girl's sight remained on Fang Yuan, staring at his shadow blankly. Slowly, her eyes started to shine in a mysterious manner.
Seventeen to eighteen years of age, this is the prime of youth.
"This Fang Yuan, what do you think of him?" Far away, Gu Yue Bo looked at this scene and asked a close aid.
The aid replied, "I heard that elder Fang Yuan had already answered the call of the medicine hall and handed in the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass in his possession. After getting the first payout, he gave it all to his uncle and aunt as a filial gesture. These days, he had struck personally and participated in killing lightning wolves. His aggressive and ruthless attacks have gained him much battle merits. Not only that, after saving many clansmen this time, his reputation is improving. The clan already has rumors—him turning over a new leaf, the Fang faction's new clan elder etc."
"This subordinate thinks that, although he is only a C grade talent, with his impressive battle capabilities, he had gotten great opportunities. First with his parents inheritance, the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass became a continuous source of income. Using two red steel Relic Gu, he managed to cultivate to Rank three, but also had an element of luck."
Saying so, this close aid showed an expression of slight jealousy.
He was also a C grade talent, but was only Rank two. Getting to this stage, he spent half his life doing so. But that Fang Yuan was merely seventeen years old, yet he was already a clan elder.
Competing with others, is really infuriating.
Hearing his aid's words, Gu Yue Bo nodded unnoticeably.
His close aid's words represented the view of majority of the people in the clan, but was slightly shallow.
Gu Yue Bo had been the clan leader for many years, thus he had greater foresight.
Fang Yuan handing in the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, he had obviously struck a deal with Gu Yue Chi Zhong. Handing his payout to his aunt and uncle was not out of goodwill, but a political show.
The person who spread news on this matter, was Gu Yue Chi Zhong.
As for saving people...whether it's true and sincere, there remains doubt.
But no matter what, Fang Yuan no longer isolated himself, and his actions were indeed worthy of praise.
Him advancing to clan elder and his actions thereafter, this was an initiative to get close to the clan and contribute to the clan. The clan's prosperity requires these contributions and relationships.
Thinking so, Gu Yue Bo instructed, "Those people in the Hidden hall, these few days they also did not find anything from their investigations. Forget it, withdraw the investigations on Fang Yuan for now."
"Yes, this subordinate shall inform them now." Saying so, he took his leave.
Gu Yue Bo stood on the ground, squinting.
He thought in his heart, "No matter what's the reason, his cultivation still rose too quickly. This Fang Yuan, he has a great secret on him! However in this period, with the severity of the wolf tide, every bit of strength is needed, and wasting it on Fang Yuan is too wasteful. Investigation is still necessary, but this can only wait after the wolf tide."

Boom! (Sh-Boom that is)….
The earliest weekly survey sheet from Denver's KIMN radio station I have run across is from June 26th, 1954 – The Top 10 from that week looked like this:
|Kitty Kallen
|Little Things Mean A Lot
|Four Aces
|Three Coins In The Fountain
|Perry Como
|Frank Weir
|The Happy Wanderer
|Frank Sinatra
|Patti Page
|Cross Over The Bridge
|Archie Bleyer
|Hernando's Hideaway
|Four Knights
|I Get So Lonely
|Kay Starr
|If You Love Me
|Betty Madigan
All was very well in the world – except for one little minor detail: There was very little rock and roll in our little 'cow town' of Denver, Colorado and there wouldn't be much for a few years more…
Kids who were born in the mid to late 1930's were buying the records as well as their parents – for the most part – not to exclude those who came along just ahead of the 'Baby Boom' generation in 1946 – such as my sister who was hatched in 1942. She and her friends were very content to pick up an Eddie Fisher disc or spend their allowance on a beginning-to-age significantly Frank Sinatra (he was nearly 40 in 1954 and his 'bobby sock'er' hoards were settling down to the realities of life) leaving my sister and her sort of nerdy friends to take up the slack.
KIMN's Top 10 remained relatively squeaky clean for a time – Yes, there were warning signs – For instance the Crew-Cuts topping the KIMN charts on September 4th, 1954 with a curious "Sh-Boom". In Denver we would only learn many, many years later to our astonishment that the song was released in May of '54 by the R&B group "The Chords".
We were indeed sheltered as the Chords' version didn't make an appearance on mainstream A.M. in Denver but was still very successfully nationally going all the way to number 9 on Billboard's Hot 100 (the Canadian Crew-Cuts held the top spot in the U.S. for a full nine weeks!).
And later down the road – while the Crew-Cuts' rendition was used in the TV smash hit sit-com "Happy Days" and was included in the motion pictures "Road House" – 1989; "Clue" from 1985 – savvy Hollywood types would display their hipness placing the Chords' song in the motion pictures "Cry Baby" – 1990; "The Super" – 1991; "Lipstick on Your Collar" – 1993; "The Sum of Us" – 1994; "Liberty Heights- 1999; "Two Of Us" – 2000; and "Hearts in Atlantis" – 2001.
What we don't know is whether or not the Chords realized any financial gain – We know that three of the original five members passed away before any of these films or programs took place – and now all five are no longer with us.
Rockin' Forerunners
Just a note: Elvis entered the national charts in March of 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel" (#1) – But Bill Haley and His Comets broke through clear back in May of 1953 when "Crazy Man Crazy" went all the way to number 12. Haley would place two more big hits on the national charts before "Rock Around the Clock" came around – those being "Shake, Rattle and Roll" (number 7 in 1954) followed by "Dim Dim The Lights" (number 11 also in 1954).
Fats Domino charted 11 times on the R&B charts with his first one being "The Fat Man" clear back in early 1950 – He would have to wait until May of 1955 for his first Hot 100 charting song "Ain't It A Shame" which hit number 10.
Brenston & Carter
Then there is the age-old discussion – first rock and roll record – Most cited is Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88" from May of 1951 – a song which topped the R&B charts for five weeks. Others say it is Goree Carter's "Rock-Awhile" from way back in 1949 – Others say this and others say that….
Surveying the Teen Scene in Denver
It is difficult to locate weekly radio surveys from 1954 – '55 or even 1956 in Denver – Quite likely KIMN didn't yet print surveys for placement in the retail music stores. Until rock and roll took hold, stations weren't yet marketing hard to the newly arrived very young teen audience – eager to part with their allowance – and for the most part didn't expand the weekly listings to more-than-10 chart positions.
I located a Denver AM radio station June 4th, 1956 – again only Top Ten featured and the closest thing we have to a rocker would be the Fontaine Sisters singing "Rollin' Stone" holding the number 7 position. That song was an R&B hit for the Marigolds in 1955.
The earliest KIMN survey sheet I have located in paper form is my own copy of the November 18th, 1957 sheet. Even KIMN's tribute web site lists nothing earlier.
I do have a copy of KIMN's "All-Time Top 300" from 1955 through 1966. Here is how – up to that point in time – things worked out:
Number 1 at that point in time (1966) was – naturally "I Want to Hold Your Hand" – You have to scroll down quite a ways to find a 1955 entry – but there is "The Great Pretender" from November of that year at number 37 just one notch below Colorado's Astronauts and their big local hit "Baja".
The KIMN All Time Top 10
- I Want to Hold Your Hand – The Beatles
- Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones
- Louie, Louie – The Kingsmen
- Gloria – Them
- You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' The Righteous Brothers
- Yesterday – The Beatles
- Downtown – Petula Clark
- Mrs. Brown (You've Got a Lovely Daughter) – Herman's Hermits
- Can't Stop Loving You – Ray Charles
- Wooly Bully – Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs

Old Town Square in Prague has so much to offer tourists from all over the world. One of the many popular monuments that I have visited since I have been in Prague is the Astronomical Clock which is located in the heart of the city.
One interesting fact is that the clock is built into the side of the Old Town Hall Tower, which dates back into the later part of the 13th century. The Old Town Hall Tower was built in 1338, and can be easily identified by the approaching tourists of the town. Tourists have the opportunity to climb to the top of the tower either by stairs or elevator, and take in the sights from extreme heights.
Crowds gather around the base of the tower at the top of each hour to see the show, and this is a show that is famous worldwide. According to the Prague Experience website, "the procession of the Twelve Apostles: on the hour, every hour, a small trap door opens and Christ marches out ahead of his disciples, while the skeleton of death tolls the bell to a defiant statue of a Turk". This show is free of charge, but can get very crowded quickly.
Personally I thought the show was interesting, but it was extremely short. It is something that must be experienced in person to get the full effect and it is definitely worth it. This was the perfect opportunity to experience the culture and accomplish some sightseeing!

German media giant Axel Springer invested in social network Nextdoor, reported ManagerMagazin.de (in German) this week. Neither side confirmed the report.
If true, it will be the first major investment in over two years for the fast-growing San Francisco-based company. Nextdoor raised $110 million U.S. in its last funding round on a valuation of $1.1 billion U.S..
Nextdoor, a free, social networking platform that lets neighbors share information and sell stuff, launched in Germany in June after rolling out in the U.K. and Netherlands last year. In Germany, it took on market leader Nebenan.de, founded in Berlin in 2015 and backed by Hubert Burda Media; and Nachbarschaft.net, a smaller platform that also launched in 2015.
In an interview with TechCrunch in June, CEO Nirav Tolia claimed Nextdoor is in 75 percent of U.S. neighborhoods, 50 percent of Dutch neighborhoods and 40 percent of U.K. neighborhoods. He hinted at more funding rounds, saying he's considering expansion to Asia and Latin America.
In the U.S., Nextdoor is moving beyond a business model based on in-feed ads. In July, it pilot-launched real estate listings with paid products for realtors.

Despite the popularity of kinky, BDSM erotic romance, replete with whips and chains and paddles and ball gags, it may not be for everyone. Don't lose sight of the variety available for writers and readers of erotic romance. Here's an overview of a few of the delicious options:
PRO: BDSM erotic romance, to start with, has the heightened plus of edgy sex play and the power exchange dynamic to augment the emotional relationship. From Master/slave, Dom/sub or Top/Bottom roles for heroes and heroines, to S&M paraphernalia, pain play, erotic humiliation, slave auctions; kink allows for an author to ramp up the sexual heat, tension, exploration and growth in a blended role with the emotional relationship. BDSM can also provide another layer of external conflict for characters who have to deal with societal biases against the lifestyle, and personal conflicts over these darker desires.
PRO: Like the kink but shying away from the heavy-duty stuff? Read a wide spectrum of BDSM erotic romance and you'll see the breadth of coverage of this type of sexual activity. It can run the gamut from the serious scenes in an Eden Bradley, Roni Lauren, or Maya Banks novel to a tamer version that travels the middle road of kinky copulation.
PRO: Then there is what I call "BDSM light" (not a reference to the derogatory comments made about FSOG, BTW). I think of it as kinder, gentler BDSM. You can have an emotional BDSM relationship with the Dominance and submission emotional and psychological elements without the pain play, or the other edgier aspects like erotic humiliation. You can have mild physical "domination" such as being held down, and sexy mind play. This category allows you the opportunity to Alpha-up your hero (they don't come more Alpha than a Dom, after all!) or heroine (I don't write Female/male submission so I tend not to refer to it; but all aspects of BDSM can be F/m, M/f, F/f, M/m or any other permutation your kinky little heart desires.)
CON: BDSM, no matter the intensity or scene play specificity, requires a firm grasp of both the technical logistics, as well as the emotional and psychological mind-set of the participants. The more the reading public knows about the scene, the easier they'll spot errors in your presentation if you don't know what you're talking about, S&M-wise!
But there are options, too, for writing smoldering hot ero-rom wholly outside the BDSM/kink realm. Here are two:
PRO: Ménage and polyamory. Here's the sub-genre of ero-rom where no holes are barred. Any combination of heroes/heroines goes here. (Granted, you can have BDSM ménage, and it's an incendiary sub-sub-genre all by itself.) Options abound. You can have a pair who bring in a third friend for a 3-way fling, or you can have a committed triad. Lora Leigh is the queen of multiple partner polyamory with up to 3 men per gal where all the men love the woman and she loves all the dudes. It works great with M/M/F, too, as illustrated by Lauren Dane. Whether your male partners are together first, or come together (pun intended) in a bisexual triad while also loving a woman, or whether it's the M/F/M variety where there is no gay sexual aspect, it can be a super-intense, dramatic and sexy scenario. For one, you've got all those extra body parts to play with (and the object of this physical affection is really getting an overwhelming experience). But additionally this ero-rom choice heaps on the conflict. Society frowns on multiple lovers. There's no legal "marriage" possibility. And there's a third (or fourth) personality fraught with jealousy and personal issues in the mix that can ramp up conflict, both internal and external. But it's the orgiastic couplings that are the real treat in this sub-genre.
CON: It takes a skilled hand to avoid falling into the orgy or gang-bang scenario (unless that's what you're going for, of course, you naughty thing!).
CON: Writing multiple-partner ero-rom also requires an in-depth exploration of your characters' mind-sets to ensure that there is a viable emotional relationship and connection among the parties. Just tossing in an extra set of cojones for the fun of it won't enhance the romance; which, of course, if the bottom line, regardless of the XXX rating. Make sure all your characters are engaged in the relationship (in and out of the boudoir).
CON: Ménage is NOT about cheating lovers. While your triad may have sex independent of one another in some scenes, they are all aware of the actions and no one is lying to another or cheating on an unsuspecting lover.
PRO: Perhaps the most obvious of erotic romance tropes in what I call "hot vanilla". This is where erotic romance actually started (as far as my experience is concerned). The hottest of the hot couplings of an M/F couple (which now happily also encompasses the M/M and F/F couples). No dominance, no chains, no taking turns with a third, just two loving people having super-hot sex. It's the nature of the graphic depiction of the love scenes that pushes the vanilla couple into the erotic romance sphere. Simple, straightforward, but hugely satisfying to the reader who loves the sex scorching, but shies away from the wilder side of lovin'.
PRO: One particular thing that can make a vanilla ero-rom smokin' is that delectably taboo raunch: Anal sex. You'll definitely find anal in BDSM and ménage (and obviously even in an erotic vanilla M/M). But inclusion in a hot vanilla allows you, the author, to push that envelope to the breaking point. Back door Betties are your friend! One happy way to include it and use it to cement a vanilla M/F relationship? The vaginal virgin is pretty much an anachronism these days (unless you're writing historical), but your heroic fella can still be her "first" if she's an anal virgin. Ass play allows for a wider variety of sexual activity and you can mix it up for hotter and hotter scenes.
PRO: Naturally, the good-old graphic BJ is less prevalent in the borderline sexy romance, but it's a staple in erotic romance along with its "cunny" cousin. So don't forget to have some give-and-take 69 action in your hot vanilla tale!
PRO: A couple of other ways to turn up the heat for your vanilla couple? Sex toys, mutual masturbation, phone sex, and fantasies. It's all about exploration, and pushing those intimacy boundaries.
CON: As with any other variety of erotic romance, writing graphic sex scenes when you don't feel it, or get squirmy (not in the good way) using all those hot 4-letter words, can be problematic. Using euphemistic language doesn't fly with ero-rom readers. And they're savvy when it comes to the sex scenes. Toss in a few because you need the heat but they're not progressing the story or moving the characters' relationship? They'll call you on it. And be cognizant that an EROTIC ROMANCE has that requisite erotic plot line that is woven into the others (whether it's a single romance plot line, or a story with an additional one, such as a romantic suspense plot line). It's about the erotic, sexual relationship that grows and evolves alongside the affair of the heart.
Clearly, we have a delightful array of combustible possibilities for crafting erotic romance on the writing menu. Be it schtupping in a galaxy far, far away, fornicating in a gazebo in a country manor in the Regency, or doing the mattress mambo in the Big Apple, your options for writing erotic romance are breathtaking!
Can YOU stand the heat?

I made my first kill of the 2018 woodcock season late this morning. I was hunting in the Marlborough Forest at the patch of cover I call Schäfer's Wood. I shot a woodcock over Hera's point. I downed the bird with the second barrel of my Franchi Instinct SL in 20 gauge. We are two weeks into the 2018 Fall hunting seasons, and the weather is much improved. Still, conditions in my preferred hunting grounds are the driest I ever saw in all my years of hunting. I hope we get significant rainfall before mid-October. It took a lot of walking this morning, but Hera and I got into birds. I enjoy watching Hera working the covers we hunt for birds; watching her work the covers leaves me wondering at times if I trained her as a hunting dog or if it is she who taught me as a hunting dog owner.
Hera is six years old now and very seasoned as a hunting dog. She knows her way around the various stands of cover we hunt and remembers where birds are typically found. I park in the same spots at the farm and in the Marlborough Forest when I take Hera hunting. She recognizes the particular patch of cover we are hunting and knows her way around. Though she follows my lead in which direction we take in sweeping patches of cover she likes to follow her nose. At times I end up following Hera as she works a scent. We move through patches of cover in an erratic pattern, but we move through the cover thoroughly in the process. We get into birds too. I am Hera's master, but I allow her some latitude when we are out hunting. I train my dogs with a soft hand and make sure they enjoy their time in the field. Hera is in her element in the field, and she understands she is hunting for me. Still, there are times when it feels as though it is Hera who has me well-trained, and it is I who is hunting for her. Either way, I enjoy my time in the field with her.
I caught the action on my GoPro when I bagged my first woodcock of the 2018 hunting season. Hera and I work very well together as a team in the field. Hera finds and points woodcock for me. Once in a while, I succeed in shooting the bird when I walk up Hera's point and the bird flushes. Hera retrieves the downed bird for me. Woodcock shooting is challenging at the best of times.
The morning after I shot my first woodcock of the season Hera and I got back in the field. We started the day at the farm near Spencerville for a hunt with my hunting buddy Mike and Maggie, his dog. Maggie is a young dog still in training. Patience in training a hunting dog is paramount. Hera and Maggie get on well together–though I think Hera loses patience at times when Maggie is more interested in playing than in hunting. Mike and I understand that dogs mature at different rates, so we take Maggie's youthful exuberance in stride and encourage her as she finds her way as a hunting dog.
Mike posing with Maggie and Hera at the farm.
We found the recent rainfall improved conditions in the woodcock cover on the farm considerably. We found there is water in the swamp. There is water in the lowland bogs too. Still, the terrain is drier than it usually is at this time of year. I hope the rain forecast to fall this week does indeed come to pass. We turned up one woodcock in our sweep of the farm. The bird flushed wildly, and Mike got off a shot. He missed. We followed up the shot to be sure he missed. We found the deer stands in good order also as we continued our hunt.
Posing by my deer stand with Hera and Maggie.
The dogs cooled off in a pool we found freshly filled with water in the lowland bog.
Mike and I wrapped up the hunt in mid-morning. We decided to let the area lie fallow until next weekend. Hopefully, more rain will fall, and cooler temperatures north of Ottawa will send migrating woodcock our way by next weekend. Mike and Maggie headed home after our morning hunt at the farm as Mike had plans for the afternoon. I had time, so I took Hera back to the Marlborough Forest to Schäfer's Wood in hopes we would get into more woodcock. Minutes into the hunt at Schäfer's Wood, Hera pointed a woodcock. The bird flushed, offering me a good chance to make the shot. I was slow to mount my shotgun and make the shot. The bird made good its escape.
Hera and I did not turn up any more birds in our sweep of Schäfer's Wood, but we came across an unusual scene featuring a group of men and a young English Pointer. The sound of a man blowing a whistle frantically and shouting alerted me to the presence of the other hunting party. I heard the sound of the Pointer's cowbell in the distance; the ringing of the cowbell got louder as the dog drew nearer to Hera and me. The dog wandered out of the woodlot onto the forest trail Hera, and I walked. Hera and the Pointer checked one another out. I heard the owner shouting for his dog, so I called out to him that his dog was with my dog and me. The owner and his hunting buddies emerged from the woods, and we spoke briefly about the challenges of training hunting dogs. I did not say anything, but frankly, the Pointer was out of control. I think the owner's continuous use of his whistle and shouting at the dog did not help. I feared he might beat or mistreat the dog, but he kept calm–at least in my presence.
When the men and the Pointer departed, I stopped to think about how Hera and I work together in the field. It may look as though Hera has me well-trained as a hunter, but in the end, Hera recognizes me as her master and follows my lead. I am not the strictest in my training methods in raising hunting dogs, but Hera does a great job finding and pointing grouse and woodcock for me and lives to go hunting. What more can one want in a hunting dog?

I've been playing and listening to jazz since I was in grade school. Mom made me play saxophone starting in sixth grade, and ever since then I've been enamored with the genre. There's something shrewd about jazz. It's not widely accepted or understood, even today, which makes it a kind of insider's club for those who know the vocabulary.
I'll never forget introducing my wife to jazz via Chick Corea, whom I thought she'd love as a pianist herself. She hated it. Coming from the classical world, the form and function, the seemingly haphazard way the notes, melody, and harmony crashed together was incomprehensible. It was about as enjoyable as a root canal for her.
In other words, to speak the language you first have to understand the vocabulary.
When uncorking Unibroue's La Fin du Monde "The End of the World," a Belgian-style Tripel, I drank it without context and had no idea what I had gotten into. To approach a beer of this sort without any understanding of the style itself is a fool's errand. I saw a light, effervescent beer with a thick, frothy head. Its golden color and slightly cloudy clarity had me dreaming of an unfiltered wheat beer.
One whiff told me otherwise. Extremely complex aromatics were highlighted by floral notes, orange rind, and spices. This fruity bouquet was smothered with an alcohol-tinged kick in the face. Rechecking the bottle, a 9% ABV confirmed my suspicion. This was not for the faint of heart.
The flavor was strikingly similar to the nose. Wheat, orange, spices, with a hint of hoppiness led to a smooth, dry finish. Based on that description alone, I would enjoy this beer.
Unfortunately, all I could taste was the alcohol. It inundated the senses and obliterated whatever interesting notes I got from the aroma.
I heard the notes but not the melody."
I've subsequently read that this beer is about perfect balance, but to me the du Monde was overpowering. It felt one dimensional on the palate and sat heavy on the tongue. As the "most awarded Canadian beer," this Quebec native had me tongue-tied. Consistently rated as one of the best-in-class Tripels, I couldn't help but think, "this tastes like a household cleanser."
My fellow taster, on the other hand, took one drink and responded, "this is a damn good beer." Noting hints of wheat, fruit, and coriander on the nose, he loved the balance of flavors and considered the alcohol "subtle."
Whereas I could only hear cacophony, he heard harmony. Upon first sip he envisioned Einstein; I only saw Mr. Clean. Noted on the Unibroue site, the du Monde is a sipping beer, and here I was choking down mouthfuls like an idiot, trying to walk before I crawled. Akin to introducing someone to jazz via the free jazz movement, my introduction to the Tripel via the du Monde just didn't make any sense to me.
Not to say that the beer is a departure from the orthodox Tripel style. On the contrary, it is widely thought of as a flagship of the class. Awarded at numerous international competitions, the du Monde is the end of the line (or "End of the World") for Tripel connoisseurs. That is why I was so disappointed, perhaps in myself.
It is rare for me to go against the grain of critical acclaim, and I trust myself less than most. It may well be that the du Monde was whispering sweet nothings in my ear in the most romantic romance language, but all I was getting was guttural spittle on my face. Alcohol, alcohol, and more alcohol. I heard the notes but not the melody.
I'd hoped that when if my wife kept listening to Corea tickle those piano keys, she'd begin to understand what he was trying to say. She never did. Jazz is an acquired taste.
So, evidently, is La Fin du Monde.
Take a Flavor Trip With Evil Twin's Delightfully Weird Hard Seltzer
Evil Twin gets just as weird with water as it does beer, so I was keen to see how a salted caramel seltzer would taste. Spoiler alert: It's pretty damn good.

SpongeBob Found to Impair Preschoolers' Thinking
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
SpongeBob SquarePants!
Rot your kids' brains right there in their heads will he.
SpongeBob SquarePants!
There's a lot of hullabaloo on the web today about a newly-published study out of the University of Virginia that shows that preschoolers who watched SpongeBob SquarePants had increased difficulty performing tasks requiring focus and self-control. The study draws the conclusion that watching a fast-paced TV show negatively affects kids' cognitive functioning for a short time after watching it.
The scientists conducting the study, which was published in the journal Pediatrics, took a group of 60 four-year-olds, mostly from white, middle-class families, and randomly separated the kids into three groups: one which watched a part of a SpongeBob episode, one which watched a similar amount of a Caillou episode, and one which simply did some free-drawing and watched no TV. After that phase was over, they gave the children a set of tasks to do which required what's called "executive function," a term which refers to a set of skills related to goal-directed behavior — including attention, self-regulation, problem-solving, and ability to deal with delayed gratification. They consistently found that the kids who had watched SpongeBob did significantly worse at the tasks than the kids in either of the other groups.

The Spin Cycle
Science |
February 24, 2009
I remember taking biology at high school but all I can consciously remember about it was the view of the school yard out the window. That's not to say the classes were dull, I had a great teacher. I think the whole idea behind biology just didn't fascinate me very much at time. No doubt my mind was elsewhere.
Biology stirred up in me recently when I started thinking about dolphins (as you do). I knew that they are supposed to be highly intelligent, possibly more so than us. I also knew that they are mammals...
So, I've got a general idea of what a mammal consists of but I wasn't quite sure how that idea ends up as a creature swimming in the ocean.
If Wikipedia is good for something I knew it would be up for this one.
As it turns out, the ancestors of dolphins spent a fair bit of time on land. So much so they had legs and pretty much looked like an over grown rat (illustrated above).
It's pretty amazing to think we and dolphins were one when we came out the oceanic ooze on to dry land. They hung around for a while but liked the wet stuff so much they just had to go back!
I think that's pretty damn cool.

The unnamed Waiter was employed at an upmarket restaurant in Weatherfield where Peter Barlow took Michelle Connor out for dinner in April 2009, shortly after her split from long-term boyfriend Steve McDonald.
After showing the couple to their table, the waiter asked if he could take a drinks order. Peter ordered a dry white wine for Michelle and a glass of sparkling water for himself. The waiter was left feeling rather awkward as Michelle insisted she too would be happy to drink water with Peter explaining to him that he was an alcoholic.
The date didn't work out at all well as all Peter wanted to talk about was his drink problem and had pangs of guilt that he wasn't visiting son Simon at the hospital that evening. Clock-watching and evidently not enjoying the food, Peter summoned the waiter over to clear the table and to promptly get him the bill.

Beautiful bathrooms add luxury to your home and make it more appealing to buyers. But after the kitchen it's the most expensive room in your house to renovate. We originally wanted this to be an article on how to renovate your bathroom for under $10,000, but honestly, there's not much hope of that.
Jeremy Wyn-Harris, director of Builderscrack, says bathroom renovations on the site have recently ranged in price from $8,500 to $30,000, but $20,000 is a realistic budget to renovate a medium-sized bathroom.
"Keep that figure in mind and you might be pleasantly surprised," Jeremy says.
How can you renovate a bathroom on a budget and still get a great result?
Overall cost-savers
Keep all the plumbing and electrics in their existing locations: "Avoid changing or adding plumbing or electrical," Jeremy advises.
Asking your tradies for ideas on how to save money and find deals: "Work with them, they can sometimes find the best deals."
Shop around and look for sales. "You can often get a deal on last year's tiles – high-end tiles aren't always good value."
Set a budget a try to stick to it – you probably don't need top-end fixtures.
"And back off from having tiles everywhere," says Wyn-Harris. "Painted walls still look great and they'll save you a lot.
Shower: replace or refresh
Shower installation: $2,000 on average
A new shower will make the bathroom look and feel more modern. If your shower's still okay, consider updating the fittings: "New fixtures, handles and even a door can really refresh it," says Jeremy.
Bath: new or resurfaced
New bath plus installation: $1,100 to $4,000
You can either replace the bath or resurface an existing one. For an extra feature, you could add a tile splashback.
Flooring: tiles might be worth it
Lino: $600 to $1,600 (10m2 bathroom)
Tiles: $1,100 on average
Lino on the floor will save a lot of money, but you might be better off spending a bit extra: "tiles on the floor do add a really nice look," says Wyn-Harris. Floor-to-ceiling wall tiles, on the other hand, can quickly become expensive.
Vanity: new fittings and benchtop
Vanity renovation: $1,000
If you don't have the budget for a new vanity, you could replace the benchtop and sink, or change the fittings and handles, keeping the cabinetry underneath.
Lighting: brighter and cooler
New recessed lights using existing wiring: around $250
Adding more light, and cooler light, can be a cost-effective way to make a big difference in what is often a dark room.
Mirror: adds light at a low price
Cost of a new mirror: from about $100
"Add a mirror, or a different one, or a bigger one – it could be quite cheap and you could do it yourself, it's easy to do," Jeremy says.

I've had these grey pants for probably 10 years. I know we shouldn't wear anything with pleats but I camouflaged them for a good few years by wearing bum-length jerseys over the pants.
There is a particular jersey (pale-blue) that I LOVE wearing with these pants - they go SO well together.
They really started looking awful on me and I STILL couldn't get rid of them (like an old friend) so I put them aside for a year. This year I am SO OVER them and it was easy to now get rid of them.
Bye-bye, pants. It's been good :)

I'm sure all BG2 NPCs have been modded, but Minsc and Korgan don't ring any bells.Mirandel said:
Well, I think that every single modder created additional companions had in mind the very idea you just expressed - to make something fitting the game. But original NPCs (especially in in BG1. Ok, mostly in BG1) were far from chatty of even developed. So, every single modder ended up with adding more of the fun parts (personal quests, interactions with CHARNAME, banters) ending as a result with yet another standing out companion.
To create something authentic one has to limit himself in areas of logic (see "BG logic thread), wordiness, and everything fun about companions (limit, not remove it). VERY hard to do for a creative person.
I'd say, perfect "extenders" (and they ARE great) of existing official companions do better thing - they bring old NPCs to the level of modern companions.
Ever thought about fleshing out someone already written? As a practice, may be?

Are you looking to protect your assets with a prenuptial agreement? If so, contact or call our team at (201) 880-9770 for legal advice you can trust.

Ingredient X – The Story of The Man Who Had Everything, And Nothing (Taken from my forthcoming book: 'Ingredient X')
Over the years, I'd seen his success grow and grow…
Of course he worked hard and deserved all the rewards that came along, including the huge financial benefits and all the trappings of a luxury lifestyle – cars, exotic holidays and the social life of a rock star.
But as time went by, I realised that his lifestyle began to define him and that the people who surrounded him, weren't really his 'friends' at all, they were there to enjoy whatever was thrown their way.
In fact, he was a loner. I don't know if he had one good friend who he could rely on (for better or for worse), because I'm sure in all the time I'd known him and spent time with him, I never saw such a person. He didn't even have a dog to call his best friend.
Even his family were distant, in mileage terms and in the relationship sense. It seemed everyone wanted him because of what he had, not because of who he was.
Why was that?
I found the answer to that question through my unique, and sometimes, 'off the wall' coaching. No one knew who he really was – all they saw was the 'mask' he wore and the persona he had to protect himself from anyone who came near him.
He had built a metaphorical wall around himself which was 6 feet high and 6 feet deep. It had been there for many years and he was comfortable inside of it – it protected him from pain and heartache, largely because he allowed no one in. But that also meant he was trapped on the inside.
Life isn't supposed to be all roses. If there were no downs, there'd be no ups! Life is a journey on which we learn, often the hard way, how to live, and love, it's about experiences.
The joy for us is how we handle each one and come out the other side, knowing how much we've achieved and so feeling stronger than before. But if all we see is a brick wall protecting us, we lose out on what it's like to truly live; we're falling short of living our life regardless of how much luxury and money it provides.
But there's always a loose brick in the wall somewhere, and it's my job to find it and carefully remove it to create an entrance – and an exit.
As people we are multi-layered. The outer layer gives a first impression and for many people – including this man, you have to dig deep into the layers to find the real person and to uncover why they are hiding underneath them. Mostly, the layers are a defence mechanism.
Below this mans' many layers was a beautiful – but scarred- soul. He was caring, generous and had so much love to give and he genuinely was a 'people magnet' – he didn't need to impress anyone with his money, he didn't need to bestow gifts. The 'naked' man was enough.
It took some time before he realised this and in doing so, he realised himself that although he had everything, he had been living his life with nothing.
Until now.
Ingredient X – The Learning
Sometimes we need to dig incredibly deep to find out who we are. The surface layers are often our 'packaging', and the prize is held within.
Don't allow yourself to be fooled. Be brave, be prepared to face what life throws at you and never be afraid to face the real you.
You'll be amazed by what you find. Ingredient X is woven through your body and soul. It becomes part of your DNA. It is not reliant on money or success, or friends and family or even health.
It is however reliant on you finding it.

The new Ziegelei-Museum offers unique opportunities for experience and recreation for the people of Cham and the whole region. The Ziegelei-Museum is for everybody who is interested in ancient crafts, bricks, tiles and industrial ceramics, in history or in cultural landscapes. It's also for families with children who like to spend an afternoon out in nature learning and enjoying different activities.
These new opportunities and extensive activities increase the tasks for the foundation and the museum staff. For this reason, the association Verein Ziegelei-Museum was created on September 5th, 2012. Its purpose is to foster and support the Ziegelei-Museum.
Founding members of the board were Hans Martin Oehri, President of Cham Tourismus, Claudia Emmenegger, cultural officer and musicologist, Alex Gemperle, master roofer and proprietor of Gemperle AG (building shell), Silvan Durscher, landscape architect FH, Patrik Meier, cabinet maker and wood workshop in Baar, and Judith Matter, specialist teacher TW and primary school teacher. A close connection to the foundation is granted by the inclusion of museum director Jürg Goll and the president of the foundation Urs Perner on the association board.
The association is constantly searching new members and people who'd like to support it by joining its board, enriching the association with their input.
The most important purpose of the association is to get people interested in the museum and in joining the association, thus incorporating the local community and creating a base for volunteers who support the museum's activities and events.
Another important purpose is networking and collaboration with other cultural associations and organizations.
Judith Matter, President

Tyler Avery A.
Illustrator • 3D & 2D Animator • Modeller • Concept artist • Amateur Photographer
I'm a (mostly) selftaught "jack of all trades" artist, currently working on building my portfolio while working freelance on commissions. My work typically reflects my interests. I'm a gamer, technophile, sci-fi fan, lover of the cosmos, and a bit of a hippie. Typically, I do a lot of worldbuilding and creating alien species and worlds, with stories unfolding within them.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking care of my pets, watching movies and shows, and playing WoW and console games. I'm also a sucker for casual mobile games and handhelds. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and clinical depression, so I'm a bit of a homebody as a result, though I do love getting out with friends and family when I can. That said, I'm almost always available to talk to or email since I'm usually attached at the hip to some sort of technology. I'm a bit cold blooded, as well, in that I need to be warm, always. I love the summer and spring, and winter is my worst enemy.
I am also in a happy relationship for which I am very grateful. My darling girlfriend Jen is a huge inspiration and has been my muse for many, many years. many of the characters and illustrations I upload are in relation to stories we've weaved together.

A very beautiful graphic novel made by Kim Dong Hwa, a Korean author/artist. This story is just too beautiful, I am speechless. Enjoying every page of it, the drawing, the story, and all.
It is a story about Ehwa, a little girl and her single mother who live in rural Korea. It's started when Ehwa just 7 years old and along with the coming of the rainy season, she turns into a young lady. Ehwa and her mom, both grow and change. However their strong-mom-and-daughter-relationship make them supporting each other in facing the world and their surrounding that sometimes not too friendly to them.
The author, Dong Hwa, describes these women lives with rain and flowers as metaphor. Therefore you will find a very poetic graphic novel. This is more like a poem than a graphic novel. And I also amaze to find out that a male writer can capture woman's emotion and attitude so accurate.
Warna Tanah 1 (The Color of Earth) is the first from the trilogy. Hopefully PT Gramedia PustakaUtama will translate all. I just can't wait for the 2nd book, Warna Air .

Pregnancy is a very special and exciting time for expectant women and their families. At this time, many moms-to-be make careful choices to try and do what's best for themselves and their babies. Wondering what's the right way to take care of your oral health when you're expecting? Here are answers to a few of the most common questions about dental care during pregnancy.
Q: Does pregnancy make a woman more susceptible to dental problems?
A: Yes. Pregnancy causes big changes in the levels of certain hormones, and these in turn have a powerful influence on your body. For example, many expectant moms experience food cravings and morning sickness at certain times. Changing hormone levels can also affect your oral health in various ways, including making your gums tender, swollen, and highly sensitive to the harmful bacteria in plaque.
Q: What are "pregnancy tumors" in the mouth?
A: These are benign (non-cancerous) overgrowths of tissue that sometimes develop on the gums during the second trimester. Often appearing between the teeth, these swollen reddish growths are thought to be caused by plaque bacteria. They sometimes go away on their own when pregnancy is over, but may be surgically removed if they don't.
Q: Is it normal to have bleeding gums during pregnancy?
A: It's not uncommon, but it does indicate that you need to pay careful attention to your oral hygiene at this time. Pregnancy hormones can cause the tiny blood vessels in your gums to become enlarged; when plaque bacteria are not effectively removed from the mouth, the gums may become inflamed and begin to bleed. This condition is often called "pregnancy gingivitis." If left untreated, it can progress to a more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis. That's one reason why regular brushing and flossing are so important during pregnancy — as are routine professional cleanings.
Q: Is it safe to have dental cleanings and checkups during pregnancy?
A: Yes; in fact, it's a very good idea to have at least one. Studies have shown that women who receive dental treatment during pregnancy face no more risks to their developing babies than those who don't. On the other hand, poor oral health is known to cause gum disease, and is also suspected of being linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Routine dental exams and professional cleanings can help you maintain good oral health and avoid many potential problems during this critical time.
Q: Should I postpone more complicated dental work until after I have a baby?
A: It depends. A study recently published in the Journal of the American Dental Association found it was safe for pregnant women to have routine procedures like fillings, root canals, and extractions, even if they require local anesthesia. So treatments that are essential to an expectant mother's health shouldn't be put off. However, if you're planning to have cosmetic dental work, it might be best to err on the side of caution and wait until after your baby is born.
Have more questions about oral health during pregnancy? Contact our office or schedule a consultation — and be sure to let us know that you are pregnant, so we can make sure you get the extra attention you need. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine article "Pregnancy and Oral Health."
Pregnancy creates enormous changes in your physical body. These changes, especially on the hormonal level, can impact many aspects of your health including teeth and gums.
While it's easy to let dental care take a back seat to other health concerns, you should actually pay close attention to it while you're expecting. Here are 4 things to focus on during pregnancy to avoid problems with your dental health.
Don't avoid dental work unless otherwise advised. You may be concerned about undergoing dental procedures during pregnancy, especially those that involve anesthesia. But both the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Dental Association (ADA) encourage pregnant women to continue regular dental visits for cleanings and checkups. And unless your obstetrician advises otherwise, it's usually safe to undergo dental work that can't wait.
Be on the lookout for pregnancy gingivitis (gum disease). Because of the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, your gums could be more susceptible to gum disease caused by plaque buildup. That's why you should be on alert for signs of a gum infection like swollen, reddened or bleeding gums. And be sure to practice diligent, daily brushing and flossing to remove disease-causing plaque, as well as regularly visiting your dentist for professional cleanings.
Make sure your diet is "tooth" friendly. Because of the changes in your body, you may experience food cravings that alter your normal dietary habits. So as much as possible, try to keep your food choices in line with what's best for your teeth and gums: minimize your sugar intake (a prime food source for disease-causing bacteria); and focus on nutritiously balanced meals and snacks.
Keep your entire healthcare team informed. When you make your next dental appointment, tell your dentist you're pregnant and how far along, any medications and supplements you're taking, or any complications you may be experiencing. This information could have a bearing on how your dentist approaches any treatment. Likewise, let your obstetrician know about any issues with your teeth and gums, as well as any suggested dental work you may need.
If you would like more information on dental care during pregnancy, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dental Care during Pregnancy."
When her daughter Ashby was born in 2007, Nancy O'Dell was overjoyed; but she found the experience of pregnancy to be anxiety-provoking. O'Dell is host of the popular entertainment news show Entertainment Tonight.
After her baby was born she compiled her memories and thoughts into a book for first-time pregnant mothers. The book, "Full of Life: Mom to Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant," covers a wide range of topics — including oral health during pregnancy.
"While my dental health has always been relatively normal, pregnancy did cause me some concern about my teeth and gums. With my dentist's advice and treatment, the few problems I had were minimized," O'Dell told Dear Doctor magazine. An example of her experience is a craving for milk that started at about the time the baby's teeth began to form. She felt that her body was telling her to consume more calcium.
As often happens with pregnant mothers, she developed sensitive gums and was diagnosed with "pregnancy gingivitis," the result of hormonal changes that increase blood flow to the gums.
"I love to smile," said O'Dell, "and smiles are so important to set people at ease, like when you walk into a room of people you don't know. When you genuinely smile you're able to dissolve that natural wall that exists between strangers."
