That's Wright! Phil Wright just dropped another high energy, stamina testing class video featuring some of the hottest young dancers in LA. In this particular class, Phil began by teaching away from the mirror to get the kids used to not just filming that way, but performing and not relying on the mirror, and it shows. Each group dances one after another without restarting the music and just catching the beat which always went along with the choreo #PROFFESSIONALS.
Phil Wright, originally from Miami, began teaching in LA a few years ago bringing his full out Florida flavor to LA. He took studios by storm teaching at IDA Hollywood, Debbie Reynolds, eventually making his way to ALDC LA and world renown Millennium Dance Complex. Since starting to teach his social media following has grown tremendously having over 12k youtube subscribers and almost 100k on Instagram! Phil has been recognized by MC Hammer, Chris Brown and more just from putting out his innovative class videos. However Phil knew he needed to do more.
In April 2017 Phil introduced his followers to #thephilwrightchallenge. Which consists of him dropping a class video and challenging dancers from all over the world to learn, perfect, and perform the same choreography as the video, post it and hashtag #philwrightchallenge. Those who he feels really captured the dance he shouts out on his Instagram and gives feedback as well. What an innovative way to inspire young (and old) dancers around the world.

Our naturopathic team will create your bespoke wellness protocol giving you the keys to get well and stay well long term. Bespoke scientific and holistic protocols can heal the root cause of your issue restoring you back into vibrant health.
Simoné Laubscher is our head Naturopathic Therapist and after 20 years of treating clients, she has developed her own unique protocol to determine a patient's metabolic code, which is used by herself and her team. Her ethos is based on testing the current state of your health and metabolism, married in with the correct foods, whole food Rejuv supplementation (if needed) and digestive support to re-set your metabolism and bring you back into optimum health.
Dr Simoné has also developed her own weight loss protocol where you lose at least a pound per day and your metabolism will also be re-set making weight management a success in the short and long term.
We simply support your body with what it needs so it is able to cure itself of whatever health challenge you're facing. Our Rejuv team will determine your unique health formula based on your pre-existing conditions, your past and family history, lifestyle, emotional triggers and your metabolic type.
We determine the correct eating plan for your metabolic type, closely married with the correct internal functional support. Like with a car, one must put in the correct fuel and service the engine to get maximum performance. Therefore every system of the body including your digestive, hormonal, circulatory and cellular health must all work together to bring about healing, thereby restoring the foundations of your health and bringing about a lifestyle change.
All practitioners in our naturopathic team are not only university qualified, with 15 years minimum experience but are also individually trained by Simoné in her tried and tested protocols. Therefore seeing anyone in our naturopathic team is seamless between all practitioners. Each patient will have a blood and urine test to investigate their vitamin and mineral levels, metabolism, inflammation, diabetes and blood sugar regulation, kidney and liver function and to test for the presence of bacteria and parasites and overall health.
We successfully treat both adults and children with varying health problems but specialize in:
- Digestive Disorders such as IBS and Crohn's disease
- Gut/Brain/Microbiome imbalances
- Fat loss/Obesity/ Metabolic Disorders
- Eating Disorders
- Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue
- Infertility
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Naturopathic Cancer Support
- Diabetes/Hypoglycemia
- Migraines
- Depression/Anxiety
- Eczema/skin conditions
- Cardiac health such as high/low Blood pressure and Cholesterol
Your initial treatment will include a detailed health status questionnaire, a naturopathic analysis based on our 7 Pillars of Wellness, diet analysis, metabolic typing, emotional analysis, hormonal analysis and food and environmental analysis, if required, to get to the root cause of your condition. Each patient will leave with a printed wellness plan of action and generally return after 3 weeks of `living the dream` with your main homework being to report back on what did and didn`t suit your lifestyle. For it is our goal to tailor your wellness plan to suit your palate, lifestyle and budget. Bottom line; if your program is enjoyable and 'do-able' a lifestyle change will occur. Otherwise, your plan will be just another short-lived 'Band-Aid' with no permanent change. Follow up treatments after the second visit will completely depend on each individual patient.

MONTGOMERY — If you are not doing anything later, Michael Cochren is having about 1,000 people at his house and you are invited.
Cochren, a 27-year-old Christian music singer/songwriter, is having concerts from his Montgomery home. While not a traditional concert and no one is attending live, the concerts are available on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
The Tour of My House has three remaining dates: Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursday's site will be the guest bath while Saturday's performance is scheduled for the front porch (weather permitting) while Sunday's show site is the garage.
A far cry from the arenas he had been filling, his house will have to do until COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and he can return to touring the country with fellow musician and legendary performer, TobyMac, who has sold more than 10 million records as a Christian hip-hop artist and has won seven Grammy awards.
Cochren was living his dream of performing to sell-out crowds when the seven-artist tour was shut down due to the virus outbreak.
"We (tour performers) were really conflicted when we learned the tour had to be postponed," Cochren said. "We wanted to do the right thing, but it was really, really tough to walk away from a tour schedule where we were performing to sold-out sites."
The tour, arguably, was the biggest of his career and it brought to fruition the dream he had long before he graduated from Pike Central High School in 2010 —to be on stage before thousands of people and sing an original top 10 song. In this case the top 10 song, "Church," a Cochren original, peaked at number nine on the Christian music charts.
Not only was the tour the highlight of his performing career, it was an opportunity for he and Leah, his wife, to be together and perform together. Leah, who teaches music at Barr-Reeve Elementary and also leads the middle and high school choirs, sings and plays back-up guitar for Michael, was with the tour for five weeks before she had to return to her teaching job.
Leah and Michael loved the life on the road. Their love for music actually is what brought the two together.
Leah was a warm-up act at an Oakland City University (OCU) concert event that featured Michael. Michael is an OCU graduate with a Bachelor's degree in general studies as he was looking for the degree that would allow him to graduate in the shortest amount of time possible after he had attended Vincennes University, where he studied audio engineering. It was an effort to give himself studio time. He also attended University of Southern Indiana for public relations. She set up and was practicing when Michael heard her sing. Sight unseen Michael leaned to his drummer and said jokingly, "I'm going to marry that girl."
"That girl," now his wife, has not missed a beat of his ever-so-gradual chart climbing career. They seem to be in lock-step and both celebrate the new-found success.
Celebrating began in earnest when Michael's song, "Church," gained air time.
"We were driving to Evansville to go shopping when the song came on the radio the first time," he recalled. "It was just an incredible moment; we were crying and being so very thankful…it was just incredible."
Incredible may be the perfect word to describe that moment as he listened to the song on the car radio he knew his 10-year journey of trying to break through barriers had nothing to do with his plan; rather, he knew it was God's plan.
Michael had a plan all along; from 2010 on he was serious about a career as a songwriter and performer. His mother, Kelly, arranged for piano lesson when Michael was eight years old. He didn't optimize the opportunities and his piano teachers told Kelly the lessons were a waste of her money and the lessons were an even bigger waste of their time. Although music was his calling, he didn't become serious about it until he was about 13. Once he made up his mind he was hell-bent on making his own way in Nashville, Tennessee.
He dedicated himself through his senior year in high school to positioning himself to be a success in Nashville.
"Every day was a grind," he recalled. "But I had no luck opening doors in Nashville."
In 2012, he worked at a Newburgh church even though he still harbored dreams of the big stage. One year later he became the worship director at Washington's Antioch Christian Church. He still retains that position.
As worship director he tended to the job and wrote songs exclusively for the church; the church allowed him the flexibility of touring with Christian bands.
"It wasn't until I stopped fighting so hard to do it my way that the doors opened for me," Michael said.
Several doors opened. He was courted by multiple record labels and eventually signed with TobyMac's label, Gotee Records.
According to Cochren, TobyMac made a special appearance at a recording studio where he knew Cochren was recording.
"TobyMac came in wearing a fedora and he said to me, 'I know you are being courted by other labels and I'd like to throw my hat in the ring," he said. "And TobyMac literally threw his hat on the table."
Cochren said he and his wife prayed about the contract-signing decision and took about a month to decide; they haven't looked back since he signed papers.
"We signed a contract in September 2018, were in the studio in October and touring in January 2019," he said. "It was a whirlwind".
The whirlwind lost a bit of its velocity when the COVID 19 spread widened.
All on the tour felt the disappointment but all accepted the fate; each returned home.
And, while at home, one of TobyMac's producers suggested to Cochren that he should have his own tour, albeit from his house.
"The idea was to promote it like any other tour and I thought it was a great idea," he said.
Promotional material was prepared and the idea launched.
His first stop was the Living Room, followed by a stop in the kitchen.
Even though he is in the comfort of his own 1,800-square feet home, he still has butterflies before he goes on stage.
"It is weird, but it doesn't bother me one bit to be in front of 10,000 people in an arena, but it is nerve-wracking to perform in front of a camera in my house," he said.
Stage fright or not, he intends to finish his House Tour on schedule. He says he wants to perform and he wants to keep the message out there to his fans. He is drawing 1,000 viewers for each of his concerts, and even that number is a surprise to him.
"I wasn't sure what to expect but, that number is higher than I expected," he said. The attention is humbling to him and he recognizes there is a sizable difference between "local" celebrity and national celebrity.
"I think people in the area know me for reasons other than my music; some know me from the Christian music and that makes me feel good, but no matter what, I know that I am the same goober I have always been," he said.
That goober has entertained ideas beyond his House Tour as he would like to conduct more online concerts while people are hunkered down until it is safe for people to congregate.

In stumping for Fisher, Cramer loses claim to ethical high ground
The Washington Post recently ran an article pointing out that Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota U.S. senator, is trying to steer federal business, potentially worth billions of dollars, toward a Dickinson company that was a large contributor to his 2018 campaign.
For many, Cramer's obsessive advocacy for Fisher Industries to build portions of President Donald Trump's wall on the southwest border — while just as obsessively bashing the straight-laced U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — would raise ethical red flags about favoritism and influence peddling. But, this being the Trump era and Cramer gleefully in bed with the president, ethics no longer matter.
So Cramer has openly promoted Fisher Industries, as has U.S. Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, despite the muddying of ethical waters. Tommy Fisher, CEO of the company, was Cramer's guest at Trump's State of the Union address in January 2018.
And, history shows, Fisher Industries has muddied plenty of water. As reported elsewhere, the company has a lengthy timeline of criminal tax evasion, pollution citations and environmental infractions.
The company has paid millions of dollars in fines in Arizona for violating environmental regulations, including as recently as 2017, according to The Arizona Republic.
The Bismarck Tribune also reported David Fisher, listed as a former president and CEO of Fisher Industries, was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges in 2005.
Ethics, indeed.
But perhaps the best-known case in North Dakota involving Fisher Industries involved large-scale federal tax fraud that ended in the 2009 conviction of former co-owner Micheal Fisher, Tommy's brother, and two company accountants.
Micheal Fisher received 37 months in prison and was ordered to pay fines and restitution totaling about $400,000. Fisher Sand & Gravel, a subsidiary of Fisher Industries, admitted to defrauding the U.S. government and was ordered to pay $1.16 million in restitution, penalties and fines.
But it's clear from court documents that others in the company knew about Micheal's illegal shenanigans and, more tellingly, benefited from the same activity.
Court documents say that Fisher Sand & Gravel, "acting through its principal officers, directors, and its accounting employees caused the personal expenses of Micheal Fisher and other Fisher family members to be paid for by FSG."
And: "FSG's officers and accounting personnel knowingly and intentionally concealed Micheal Fisher's and other Fisher family members' receipt of income in the form of corporate distributions from the United States by failing to report these payments to the Internal Revenue Service …."
"Officers." Plural.
"Other Fisher family members." Plural.
Those words show up time and again in court documents, in some cases involving personal travel expenses and condominium rental. Others in the company knew what was happening and didn't act. Court documents say Fisher Sand & Gravel was warned by auditors for years about "the issue of personal expenses of Fisher family members being paid by the company."
Tommy Fisher, for what it's worth, took over the company from his father in 1996.
Ethics. Even a pious U.S. senator from North Dakota is willing to set them aside when it comes to this president and his wall, apparently.

So after a year and a half of writing together, Turner and I have started to discover what we love to write. We've completed 3 novels but started at least 4 other stories in between. We found ourselves starting and dropping them a few chapters in. Why was this is?
Reflecting back on them, we realised a pattern. These stories were a different genre than the others! Any time we tried to write a period piece that was realistic and about plain people's stories we lost interest. It's not that we didn't like what we were writing, we just weren't excited about it. Thus we lost all interest in writing them.
The novels we had completed all had the same thread of a more creative and imaginative environment. The characters were realistic, but their circumstances set them apart from the ordinary. This realization is what now guides us in our 4th novel.
Basically, find which genre you're passionate about. Which genre makes you excited? Which starts sparking your imagination? Then, go with it!

Danish police arrested 23 protesters yesterday following a night of rioting after anti-fascists mobilised against a far-right rally in a predominantly ethnic minority area.
Extremist Rasmus Paludan, known for burning the Koran at demonstrations, staged a protest in the Norrebro district of the capital Copenhagen on Sunday.
Counter-demonstrators advanced towards the rally and Mr Paludan's roughly 200 supporters retaliated by throwing stones at them.
Mr Paludan was escorted to safety by police, who also fired tear gas. Some officers were seen with their guns drawn.
Copenhagen police said the detainees, mostly young locals, were suspected of burning cars, bikes and rubbish containers.
Danish author and sociologist Rene Karpantschof, who witnessed the clashes, called the rioting "a reaction from some of the most pressured groups in Danish society."
He also warned that the minister for integration and many Danish MPs were also "creating frustration" through anti-immigrant speech and policies that increase social inequality, including the privatisation of homes resulting in homelessness.
Mr Paludan is currently on conditional bail after recording himself using racial slurs outside the home of Black Lives Matter Denmark chairwoman Bwalya Sorensen last year.

China presents a huge growth opportunity for international brands, but while some have thrived, many have failed to gain a foothold in the market. This paper provides insight into consumers' behaviour and attitudes and successful brand strategies that will give valuable guidance to any business that wants to enter the market.
China is a crucial market for international brands. The world's second-largest economy, currently growing its GDP at just under 7% year on year, it represents a major opportunity for growth. The standard of living for Chinese consumers has doubled every seven years from 1974 to 2011 and even if current rates of economic growth are down on previous decades, they still put many European and US markets in the shade.

Every year at Halloween, my parents like to put a little pair of batwings on the family dog — and every time they do, we can always tell that our lovable little pup is torn about the idea. The pros include the following: He's extra cute with the batwings on; he knows he's extra cute with them on; and he absolutely adores the additional attention he gets when he's wearing them. Still, though, even though he loves the extra attention, he usually has a certain amount of trouble dealing with the batwings themselves. He just can't quite figure out why he's suddenly got these giant flappy things hanging off his back, because he's a dog. Dogs don't understand Halloween.
In fact, Halloween regularly baffles our pets. As much as we like to pretend that they have a certain degree of self-awareness, the bottom line is that they're easily confused by human things. Even more mystifying to them than regular, everyday human objects, though, are those that emerge only once a year. Such is the case with these 10 animals, who absolutely cannot wrap their furry, feathered, and, in one case, animated little brains around Halloween. It's a miracle our pets put up with this sort of thing from us, their owners… but then again, maybe they know that we dress them up and introduce them to strange, orange, spherical objects at odd times because we love them.
At least it's probably easier for them to understand pumpkins than it is for us to understand some of the weirder human Halloween costumes, right?
1. Corgi vs. Pumpkin: Aaaaaaaaand FIGHT!
This very excitable corgi cannot deal with this pumpkin. I cannot deal with this very excitable corgi not being able to deal with this pumpkin.
2. Pumpkin Pug
"How did I get in here? More importantly, how do I get out of here? Haaaaaaaaaaaalp!"
3. Kitten's First Scare
"BOO!... Did I do it right?"
4. Question: What's Hiding Inside?
Answer: An owl who's still trying to figure out turned out the lights.
5. Simon's Cat in "Scaredy Cat"
OK, yes, I'm cheating a little bit here, because Simon and his cat are fictional animated characters. They're based off of reality, though, so let's give it a pass, shall we? Especially since this year's special Halloween episode of the webs eries is… well, all kinds of amazing. Clearly Simon's Cat has not learned that you should never mess with a human while they're watching a freaky movie.
6. Curious Parakeet
"What is this? Can I eat it?"
7. Why You Should Never Dress Your Pet Up
These guys? Not impressed.
8. Shark-Cat Strikes Again!
There's a Shark-Cat video for every occasion.
9. Why You Should Never Dress Your Pet Up, Part 2
"Why? Why have you done this to meeeeeeee?"
10. Happy Halloween, Disney's Animal Kingdom!
Proof that humans and monkeys are related: They like pumpkin-flavored things, too.

Pictured: Cllr Christine Jones and Leader of the Council Aaron Shotton talk to Growing Places Manager Jacqueline Vaughan-Thomas and Sarah Howatson and Anne Banber
Growing Places is one of Flintshire County Council's Mental Health Support services.
Based in Shotton, it supports people in a safe environment to be more confident and to develop work related skills and training. Growing Places is a community gardening service, which also has an allotment and polytunnels which are used for growing and potting plants.
On a recent visit, Flintshire County Council's Leader, Councillor Aaron Shotton, said:
"It was great to visit and see first-hand the excellent work being done at Growing Places. The service is highly valued by team members and their families.
"This is yet another example of all the wonderful social care available in Flintshire that unfortunately is no longer available in other areas of the UK. I am proud that, in Flintshire, despite the national financial restraints placed upon us, we have continued to recognise the importance of accessible mental health services."
Flintshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Social Services, Councillor Christine Jones, continued:
"It's great to be able to visit such a wonderful facility. I am proud that Flintshire County Council continues to fund such important services for some of our most vulnerable residents. Being able to work in such a safe environment allows people to grow in confidence. As part of a team, they feel valued.
"At the same time, they are learning valuable skills and, as a thriving garden business, Growing Places provides a link with opportunities for volunteering and further education. It's an invaluable stepping stone for individuals to grow in confidence, motivation and experience and ultimately to move on in their recovery."
There are three full-time employees who support individuals to develop their skills in gardening maintenance, cultivation of flowers, plants and vegetables and administration tasks. There is also a small amount of woodwork activity at various times of the year.
Growing Places Manager, Jacqueline Vaughan-Thomas, said:
"This is a wonderful resource – as well as our gardening service, we use the fruit and vegetables we grow to encourage healthy eating. We hold regular cooking sessions in the Growing Places kitchen where team members help to prepare the food and then sit down together and enjoy the meal in a social setting."

I don't wanna be wrong here, but I think that one of the most common Active Directory disasters that administrators face is the accidentally deleted object(s). Even if you put a strong security in place, there comes a time when you need to delegate permissions and with that accidents happen.

Set Up Automatic Certificate Enrollment (Autoenroll)
Managing certificates usually does not need to much intervention. Issuing and enrolling for certificates, again is a piece-of-cake… in a small environment. But if you are running more than let's say 50 workstations and servers enrolling for certificates is a week job, if not more.

Police are searching for the suspect in an armed robbery that took place on the UMass Boston campus just after 11:30 a.m. today, according to university officials.
A man indicated to a student that he had a firearm at 11:33 a.m. between the Quinn Administration Building and the Clark Athletic Center, stealing the victim's purse and fleeing in an unknown direction, according to an email sent to students at 1:15 through the UMass Boston Alert System. The victim was unharmed.
The suspect is described as a white male, 5'9" of medium build wearing a black winter hat with a green bandana covering his face. He also wore a beige jacket and a backpack. It is not clear if the suspect is a student.
Following the incident, UMass Boston police swept the campus as well as adjacent Bayside Expo Center and the JFK/UMass MBTA station, UMass Boston spokesman DeWayne Lehman told the Reporter. While the incident falls under UMass Boston Police's jurisdiction, nearby Boston Police stations have been made aware of the incident and the suspect's description.
Anyone with any pertinent information is asked to contact the UMass Boston Police Department at 617-287-7780. Students are also cautioned to "not to stop and talk to strangers, to walk in well-lighted areas, and to report any suspicious activities or encounters to the UMass Boston Police Department," according to the Alert System email.
A previous version of the story incorrectly stated that the suspect brandished a weapon. No firearm was shown to the victim, police say, but the suspect indicated he was in possession of such a weapon.

Quite a tiny card today at only 4" square, but ideal for a little note or even as a posh gift tag. The flower, butterfly and sentiment are all from a Hero Arts set and simply coloured with gel pens (how retro- BUT I hate it on one layer cards when the alcohol markers shows through on the inside).
The yellow strip along the bottom is washi tape.

Grand Falls Arizona has to be one of my favorite hidden destinations in my state. Though many folks do know about this magical place and how to get here, I still feel Grand Falls is generally unknown to most visitors to the state.
I had no idea this place existed until I spotted a very small photo of it near the back of an Arizona Highways magazine long ago. The photograph was a subscriber-submitted photo and simply said that Grand Falls would be flowing soon due to lots of snowfall in the area. I immediately put on my Google hat and went to work finding this unique place. That next weekend I set off to find it.
Placed along the Little Colorado River, Grand Falls drops 185 feet (a little taller than Niagra Falls) in a series of tiers into a canyon. Many folks call this Chocolate Falls as it resembles, chocolate! The mighty river churns up dirt combined with snowfall and rain to make a lovely chocolaty concoction reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Farro-Butternut Squash Risotto
(Makes 8-10 servings)
olive oil
whole farro (I used a 1.1 lb package b/c I wanted to make enough for a small army)
2 lbs butternut squash, chopped
1 onion, chopped
a few cloves of garlic, chopped
fresh sage
2 quarts of broth (vegetable or chicken, your choice)
5 oz. tub of shredded Parmesan
1/2 cup boursin, marscapone, goat cheese, cream cheese or heavy cream (optional)
In a large saucepan, heat a bit of olive oil. Add the onion and butternut squash and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden and softened. (The squash will not be cooked through, that's ok as it will continue to cook with the farro.) Add the farro and cook for about 1 minute, stirring to coat it with the oil. Add enough stock so you can still stir the risotto without it sloshing out...proper risotto recipes will tell you to "warm the stock and add it 1 cup at a time", but let's be realistic-- who has time to do that? It'll be just fine adding the whole first quart as long as your pot is big enough to hold that much liquid. (And room temp is just fine.) This is the half hour you'll be at the stovetop, so grab a glass of tea or wine and relax. Gently stir the risotto while the liquid is being absorbed. After that first quart of broth is absorbed, I add a handful of the Parmesan, stirring so it melts, and then I add more broth from the second quart-- this time go easy, adding the broth a little at a time while you're stirring so you don't overdo it on the liquid. (Last night, I went through about 1 1/2 quarts of broth.) Towards the end of the cook time, you may add a little extra creaminess (marscapone, goat cheese, boursin, heavy cream) if you'd like, and the remainder of the shredded Parmesan and the fresh sage. The farro is done when it is al dente (farro grains don't melt into each other like Arborio rice) and enrobed in the thick, creamy liquid, about 25-30 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
The benefit of using farro is that farro risotto holds up much better to reheating than regular aborio rice risotto. So, once it's cooled down, you can package up the remainder for a delicious lunch or dinner in the next few days. Simply add a bit of the leftover broth to your risotto when reheating it.
Here is the recipe in photos. Enjoy!
In a large saucepan, I sauteed the onion and butternut squash over moderate heat until the onion was softened.
Add the farro...
and cook for about 1 minute, stirring to coat it with the oil.
I wasn't kidding when I said I poured the whole first quart of broth in. Patience is not my virtue. It works just fine this way. Then you simply stir the risotto until that first batch of broth is absorbed.
I forgot to take a photo of the risotto when the first batch of broth was absorbed... this was about halfway through the cook time. I had added more broth, the fresh sage, and a handful of Parmesan and continued to stir the risotto.
You can see that the broth is getting a sort of "creamy" look to it...
Towards the end of the cook time, I added a hearty dollop of Boursin I had in my fridge. This just makes the risotto a little creamier, but it's totally optional.
and the farro is done when it is al dente (try a piece) and enrobed in the thick, creamy liquid, The whole cook time should take 25-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy! Oh, and if any of you have trouble finding farro in your local market, here's a link to order some. I bought mine at Whole Foods, in the pasta aisle (Rustichella d'abruzzo brand).

Very Happy With My Breast Lift Surgery - Before and After Photos, What It Cost and More!
Procedure rating
Breast lift
Performed 2015
Procedure review
While losing a significant amount of weight (when needed) can be extremely healthy and an overall confidence booster, unfortunately, it also comes with it's own set of consequences. I'm not writing this to try to discourage anyone from beginning their weight lose journey, because trust me, it's TOTALLY worth it! However, there are some unpleasant "side effects" people don't talk much about.
I had lost a large amount of weight (over 100lbs) all naturally. I was left with mass amounts of loose skin. It was very unattractive, in my personal opinion, and at the time I decided I wanted to go through with plastic surgery to remove my excess skin. At that time, I was 29 years old.
One of the things I always disliked about myself, even pre-weight loss, were my breasts. Since I was at one point nearly 300lbs, they were large, and well, saggy! Once I lost all the weight, the situation got even worse as you can imagine! I lost some breast tissue but none of the skin. My breasts were flat like pancakes looking at the ground!
My plastic surgeon, Dr. Rubin, specialized in breast lift surgery. He's even created and uses his own type of breast lift technique. His technique was obviously tested and approved for breast lift procedures. He has been using this procedure for some time now and has seen very good breast lift results.
I called Dr. Rubin's office and scheduled a consultation. The day of the visit came and I was very excited! I really wanted new boobs!! Dr. Rubin was kind, sincere, and informative. Never making you feel inferior or awkward. He explained the procedure to me and examined my breasts. He said I had asymmetrical breasts and he could help fix that problem during my breast surgery. I then got to look at a binder of before and after photos, all of the results were amazing to say the least!
After I successfully completed all of my pre-surgical testing (CBC, nicotine test, etc.), I was deemed healthy enough to proceed! I scheduled my surgery date and waited patiently for the day to arrive.
The day of surgery arrived and I was back in pre-op. After the nurses did the usual examination on me (blood pressure, pulse, pregnancy test, heart rate, temperature, and listened to my lungs and heart) Dr. Rubin and his group of residents entered.
I was defiantly not the most comfortable disrobing in front of all these people, but I figured they have seen it all! Not only that, but Dr. Rubin encourages you to take your time, offers to have the extra residents leave if it's too much (I believe one would have to stay, don't quote me on that). Dr. Rubin truly has the type of personalty that relaxes a person, and makes you feel very comfortable and not judged at all! The residents at the time were the same. Very kind and smart! I opted to let them stay and then Dr. Rubin took his time marking my chest up with a marker. These marks would act as his "road map" during surgery. He took a considerable amount of time measuring my chest, from my collar bone down to my nipple area. He does this so he can ensure correct placement and symmetry of your nipples with your new breast shape. Yes, your nipples come off, are resized and shaped to fit your new breasts and reattached! Amazing what they can do! Anyways, he took a lot of time, asked a lot of opinions from the residents (which I admired, he obviously treats everyone with respect). It put me at ease to see the amount of time he was putting into these chest markings. I knew he had his mind set on providing great results!
Before I knew it, I was wheeled into the OR, given general anesthesia and then I was waking up in the post op recovery room after surgery. The first thing I remember is feeling like an elephant was sitting on my chest! Even though he had taken my breasts down from above a DDD, I was ready to enter G territory to a DD (settled final result), they felt like cinder blocks! With the pain on my chest, it felt hard to breath, but the nurses quickly helped comfort me.
When I came to it a little more, I realized I had one drain connected to each breast. Qh, the feared drains! Haha. The drains are used to help expel any excess blood and fluid while the initial healing begins and are usually left in for around 1-3 weeks, depending on the area of the surgery and how much fluid is collecting in them. Once home, you have to empty the drains on your own and write the time down and the amount of fluid in each drain collection bulb. This helps the doctor determine when it is appropriate to remove them. Removing them is a simple in-office procedure.
My chest was bandaged up pretty tightly after surgery. I can't remember every detail other than a huge ace bandage, but there was also bandages underneath the ace bandage to help protect the incisions and the nipples.
In all honestly, it did take awhile to get use to that heavy feeling on my chest, and I had to sleep elevated on my back. Eventually that heavy feeling went away and I was relieved. However, I still had healing to and my recovery period continued. I would go back to the office weekly for post-op check ups. After a couple of weeks the drains were removed and I was able to move on from the ace bandage to a sports bras that latched in the front. It felt much better! If I recall correctly, it was around 2-3 months until I was able to wear a regular underwire bra.
When I saw my breasts for the first time, I was SHOCKED at the results!! I could not have been happier! I will say that after the procedure they look sooo "fake" and perfect! I absolutely loved the appearance, but as I was told, swelling would go down and they would "fall" slightly into a natural looking shape, and that they did, they are still 10x better than my natural breasts were, and I would defiantly go through this surgery again!
After my breasts healed, I was left with minimal scarring from my surgical incisions. Dr Rubin performed an anchor incision during my breast lift. It's called the anchor incision because it starts at the bottom of your areola and proceeds down the breast in a straight line and then where the bottom of the breast curves to meet the chest, it branches out to the right and left "fold" of your breast (which makes it look like an anchor).The feeling in my one nipple never left, however the feeling in my left nipple took a good few months to come back. Nothing that bothered me at all! I'm very happy with how my breasts healed!
I now feel much more confident when being intimate with my husband. I also feel much more comfortable letting people see me in a shirt without a bra… although a bra is always recommended! I'm referring to in the morning and such when you're in your PJs still! I have used Dr. Rubin for multiple cosmetic procedures and he never disappoints! Heck, as time goes on I might even go back for round two!

Whether it's investigating the ways soil biology affects agricultural production or using satellite data to measure melting polar icecaps in Antarctica, the environmental focus for finalists in the 2019 BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards.
The 2019 finalists were announced today and come from New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. All students conducted independent research or engineering projects and entered their state Science Teacher Association awards making them eligible for the BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards.
Making positive impacts to the world was a big motivator for all the student finalists.
The inspiration for 17-year-old Tiarra Meier and 15-year-old Anne Zimmerman's (right) project was their home, a property in Elsmore, NSW.
"The land had been conventionaly farmed since the 1950's," Tiarra said.
"In 1999, my dad successfully changed how the property was managed by using concentrated groups of livestock in small areas for short periods and then a big rest period to mimic natural grazing. However, there were still paddocks where plants didn't grow well despite good rainfall and grazing management so we decided to investigate.
"We discovered that long-term use of pesticides, fertilizers, and excessive ploughing all negatively impact soil biology and began to explore if this could be the missing link for many of our paddocks.
"During our research, we found that a lack of healthy soil biology is affecting the nutrient density of plants grown for food. It meant that our investigation was not only about improving the environment to benefit the farmer but it had wider impacts on food quality."
Anne Zimmerman said it was a lot of work in the beginning with background research, setting up trial plots, watering and testing the soil before and after.
"We selected six plots and had the soil chemically and biologically analysed to see what we were working with," Anne said.
"We then applied chemical and biological amendments to increase soil health and tested the soil again after five months."
While Anne and Tiarra were testing soil in Elsmore, 16-year-old Joseph Wright (below) was in Canberra, working out how to measure melting polar ice caps in Antarctica with satellite data.
"Climate change is a really important issue that affects everyone, so I wanted to do a project that focused on that," Joseph said.
"Satellites have been used to monitor the effects of global warming by a number of different space programs including the European Space Agency's CryoSat program, the GCOM-C program from the Japanese Space Agency, and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), a program conducted by NASA and the German Aerospace Centre.
"I decided to focus on the GRACE program and finding the best spatial resolution for gravity data from these satellites.
"A higher spatial resolution would provide more realistic images of Antarctic icecaps and ice melt from West Antarctic glaciers using real GRACE data.
"As well as this, a higher resolution could show mass changes in greater detail without sacrificing the high accuracy of GRACE measurements."
To find the optimum spatial resolution, he created and ran simulations on a server at Australian National University's Research School of Earth Science. He then analysed the data from GRACE program with the spatial resolution to accurately show melting ice mass loss in Antarctica.
"I really enjoyed being able to work on a project that has a real-world scope," Joseph said.
The winners will be announced on 5 February at a ceremony in Melbourne.
The BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards are a partnership between the BHP Foundation, CSIRO, the Australian Science Teachers Association and each state and territory Science Teachers Association.
Since 1981, the awards have been recognising student excellence. Six of the finalists will have the opportunity to go to Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the US where over 1800 high school students from 75 countries, regions and territories are given the opportunity to showcase their independent research.

Mumbai, May 13 (IANS) Actor Dulquer Salmaan, the son of Malayalam superstar Mammootty, says he likes roles that offer him a challenge of some kind and that he is very uncomfortable doing a safe part.
Dulquer's performance as the Tamil matinee idol Gemini Ganesan in "Mahanati" has caught a lot of attention.
"We all knew we were doing something important, something very special. To tell the story of this Tamil-Telugu cinema's legendary actress Savitri was something I believed in. This was a role away from my home territory in Kerala, hence an added challenge," said the Malayalam actor.
"I've to agree that the demarcation lines are blurring. I won't say there was a divide. But clearly Malayalam cinema has a narrower market than cinema in some other Indian languages. I was happy to expand into the Tamil market. And now into Telugu with 'Mahanati' and into Hindi as well."
Has he spoken his own lines in Telugu?
"Yes, I have. And it was far more difficult getting the Telugu dialogues than Tamil. I've been dubbing my own lines in Tamil for some time now. In Telugu, I had to practise the words, understand and absorb what I am saying and then speak them in the dubbing. I would think I got them right. But I'd be told something was not right.
"I would wonder what was wrong. Still I'd do it again and again until it came out sounding right for the experts in the language."
Quite a task?
"Yes, but then that is the main criteria I have for accepting a role. It has to offer me a challenge of some kind. Otherwise, there is no point in doing a role. I would be very uncomfortable doing a safe part. It would make me think something is wrong," he said.
He has chosen a career path very different from his father. Was that deliberate?
"It had to be different from his. I couldn't possibly do what he had already done. He has a larger-than-life image. It made no sense to walk in his footsteps. There is nothing like a 'born actor'. It's all about honing the skills.
"Duplication never works for anybody. Why would it have worked for me? I chose my own path because that was the only way to go. At the same time, I've to admit there was an advantage in being my fathers's son.
"The debut film came much easier to me than it would have if I was an outsider."
Would he like to do a film with his father?
"The thought has crossed the minds of many filmmakers. We've had quite a few offers to work together. But no. I don't think that's a good idea. The comparisons would be unacceptable to me. So unless it is something that offers a truly special challenge for us to come together, it is unlikely that we will work together," he said.
Do his father and he discuss each other's roles at the dinner table?
"I do talk to him about my work with him if I feel like. But nothing beyond the usual. We'd rather discuss other things when we are together," said Dulquer.
How does his wife cope with all his female fan following?
"There is nothing there that is threatening or embarrassing. It's all very sweet and harmless. No one has suddenly landed up at my home threatening to break my door down," he said.
On spending time with his daughter, he said: "She turned 1 on May 5. We don't believe in having a large birthday party. In any case, she is too small right now to respond to a party. So we had a small family dinner and we took pictures in case some day she wants proof of her first day celebration."

Deconstructed Drink: Pimm's Cup at Westport Cafe & Bar
This classic summer cocktail drinks like a very special ice tea, if you know what we mean.
You don't have to be a tennis buff to adore the Pimm's Cup. As one of the quintessential summer drinks, you've likely encountered this herbaceous concoction without even considering its popularity at Wimbledon, where it is the official cocktail and its consumption is measured by tens of thousands of gallons. Today, this classic British export is experiencing a booming resurgence in the United States — including right here in Kansas City.
Westport Café & Bar cottoned onto the Pimm's Cup trend early. WCB has had one on its menu since it opened seven years ago, though it's not quite the recipe you're likely to encounter across the pond.
"The traditional recipe uses lemonade, but in England, their lemonade is closer to a lemon soda — almost like Sprite," says Bronson Kisstler, WCB's bar manager.
The drink got its start in the 1840s. James Pimm, a fishmonger turned restaurateur, owned several oyster bars in London, and in an effort to diversify his offerings, he created a formula known today as Pimm's No. 1 Cup. Pimm infused gin with fruit, herbal extracts and quinine, mixed the concoction with lemonade, and served it as a low-ABV digestif meant to aid guests in the slurping of oysters.
"As it got more and more popular, he'd make it in one location and started selling it at his other bars," Kisstler says. "Pimm's itself is kind of a bottled cocktail that's ready to go — it just needs a little boost of carbonation."
That was how the thirsty New Orleans bon viveur crowds latched onto Pimm's No. 1 Cup in the 1940s, when the landmark bar the Napoleon House began serving it with American lemonade, 7 Up and cucumber slices.
"Gradually, people started using ginger ale as a substitute for lemonade and soda, and that's where our recipe comes in," Kisstler says.
At WCB, the Pimm's Cup gets a craft spin. Pimm's No. 1 is mixed with a house-made ginger syrup, fresh-squeezed lime juice and sparkling water — a scratch version of ginger ale, Kisstler says — and topped with a lime wheel, the traditional sprig of mint and a piece of candied ginger from the WCB kitchen. Looking at this drink, you can't help but relax: the tawny liquid glittering between ice cubes, the frothy surface like a sandy beach beneath a mint leaf-palm tree and lime-citrus sun.
It's not just good looks that have kept the Pimm's Cup on WCB's menu. This cocktail sips as smoothly as iced tea, and we have a feeling that if Kisstler wanted to take his cues from Wimbledon and offer it to guests by, say, the pitcher, he'd have no trouble selling it.
And since Pimm's liqueur is only 25 percent ABV — compared to the average 40 percent for most hard spirits such as vodka, gin and whiskey — the Pimm's Cup can also be considered a session drink, which means you can throw back several of them without the least bit of worry. That sounds like summer calling, doesn't it?
"It's been super popular since we opened," Kisstler says. "It's a very easy-drinking cocktail, and from the bar side, it's really a no-fuss drink. When I took over the program in 2011, I didn't have the heart to take it off the menu; it's something people are always going to ask for."
Besides, Kisstler adds, the classic appeal of the Pimm's Cup goes hand-in-hand with WCB's mission.
"We're not doing molecular gastronomy or advanced cocktail techniques," he says, "but all our cocktails are balanced and creative and sometimes really exciting. For me, it's about elegance over extravagance."
Looking to mix up your own elegant summer sipper? Westport Café and Bar's Bronson Kisstler has you covered.
The most important ingredient in this cocktail is its namesake, the Pimm's No. 1 liqueur. Two ounces of this gin-based digestif packs a powerful set of herbaceous, garden-party flavors into this recipe.
The craft quirk in the WCB Pimm's Cup is the ounce of ginger syrup. The recipe is easy enough; all you need is a sugar, water and freshly peeled and thinly sliced ginger, simmered over a stovetop for about 30 minutes. Strain out the ginger and go wild. (Kisstler recommends 1 cup each sugar and water and 3/4 cup of ginger.)
It's rare that a cocktail doesn't benefit from a boost of citrus, and the Pimm's Cup gets an ounce of lime juice. For best results, make sure it's fresh-squeezed!
Shake the Pimm's, syrup and lime juice together in a shaker with ice, then strain it into a tall Collins glass, also filled with ice. Top it with sparkling water for some effervescence.
Don't forget the garnish! Cucumber is traditional, but you can do whatever you want — add sliced strawberries or other fruit — as long as there's a sprig of mint. WCB candies its own ginger.
I'm not sure if this is saying the Pimm's cup is a rare cocktail, so it doesn't really benefit from citrus or if it's saying it's rare that any cocktail doesn't benefit from citrust, so the Pimm's cup is following along in that tradition.

A GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign set up on behalf of Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray was quickly removed Friday by the company.
"Apparently our GoFundMe account has been suspended with no explanation," said the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police on Twitter. "We are working to find a new site for donations. Thank you!"
The yanking of the site comes two days after GoFundMe tightened its policy on prohibited crowdfunding after pulling campaigns on behalf of Christian-owned businesses that had refused to serve gay weddings.
In a statement, GoFundMe said the campaign violated its ban on fundraising in defense of "formal charges or claims of heinous crimes, violent, hateful, sexual or discriminatory acts."

Oven ready - all the hard work taken away! Traditionally roasted or casseroled, these birds are ideal for dinner parties or special meals.
All of the game birds in this section are British-sourced, with the exception of the Quail and the Guinea Fowl, both of which are sourced from a family run farm in France. The quality is unsurpassed and the birds are fresh frozen the same day that they are producted to encapsulate the full flavour.
During the season, we have available such lovely game birds as Partridge, Mallard, Woodcock, Teal, Pheasant and Grouse for you to enjoy. As the stock from the last season is finally used, we will mark the birds "out of stock" here on the site until the next shooting season begins. If you are really desperate to get hold of stock, we do know several game dealers who keep frozen birds in large quantities, so please do email us to enquire.
Corn Fed Chicken Thighs Min. 600g+ (4)
When we first wanted to source our ducks from Johnson and Swarbrick (Goosnargh) we did not imagine extending our range to include their delicious corn fed chickens, which are barn-reared.
However, having tried it ourselves, we knew we had to make it available for you to try at home - and of course, it forms a very important part of our "Best of British Morale Booster Boxes".Learn More£2.50
Wood Pigeon Min. 240gLittle Birds! Surprisingly, once oven ready these are quite small - only enough for one single portion, but really full-flavoured with very rich, dark meat. Beware the possibility of lead shot but its worth the risk ... and they make equally good eating whether oven roasted, pan fried or casseroled. Learn More£4.00
Oven Ready Partridge Min. 240gThe season for shooting partridge is 1st September - 1st February each year. The red-legged or french partridge is much more common than the grey legged variety.

Boned, Rolled and Stuffed Oven Ready Pheasant Breasts Min. 250gThis speciality joint has been prepared for you to oven cook (roast), and is what we would describe as "easy carve".

Mallard (Oven Ready) Min. 600gWhole, oven ready wild duck is a real treat. You will find the meat dark and full of flavour, and one whole mallard will usually serve two people. The breasts are not as plump as farmed duck but make up for this with their gamey rich flavour. The Mallard is famously suited to a fruit sauce or jus, such as black cherry or orange and is a really good dish for the winter months. Learn More£5.95
Hot Smoked Goosnargh Duck Breasts (2 in a Pack) Min. 300gOur Goosnargh Hot Smoked Duck Breasts breasts are deliciously tender, lightly smoked and delivered to us fresh from the Smokery.

As we collect these through the year they are frozen down and will arrive with you frozen, either for transfer to the fridge to defrost or for your freezer drawer.
Pan fry to start off with, skin side down, to produce some lovely Goose Fat for your roasties ... and finish slowly in the oven if you want it "fall apart tender".Learn More£13.15

Free Range Geese From Shropshire - A Victorian TreatWe are delighted to once again to be able to present our beautifully plump Free Range Geese bred by the Brisbourne Family in Nesscliffe, Shropshire, with whom we have worked for many years. The geese are reared free range, grazing fields adjacent to the old A5 which passes through Nesscliffe, they have become quite a local landmark. They graze and roam freely with ad lib supplements of home produced wheat (grown to Farm Assured standards), potatoes and a specially prepared corn ration, without the use of growth promoters and additives.At night the geese are brought indoors, for protection reasons, bedded down daily on fresh straw. Though sheltered at night they are still open to fresh air and natural light. All the geese grow naturally to reach full maturity.Brisbourne Geese are traditionally processed in December for freshness, and the weight range may vary but is always above 5.5kg. Each bird is individually dry plucked and waxed then hung for 7-10 days in a chilled environment to produce a deep and succulent flavour. All birds are dressed and finished by hand.Learn More£95.00

As the most depressing month of the year comes to an end, Dogs Trust Leeds believes it has the solution to feeling lonely with the launch of their dog fostering scheme.
The launch follows a recent survey conducted by Dogs Trust which revealed 43% of people could not permanently care for a dog and 29% could not afford a dog. Almost half (46%) of non-dog owners polled in the region said they may consider temporarily fostering a dog as a way to combat loneliness.
The Home from Home scheme looks to find loving temporary foster homes for dogs in the charity's care, and offers a mutual benefit to both dog and fosterer. 76% of people surveyed in the region admitted caring for a dog had a positive impact upon their wellbeing.
Home From Home Co-ordinator for the region Joy Corrie, said, "Spending time with a dog won't cure all your problems but it could certainly make you happier, so we hope people will consider fostering a dog. We have lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes looking for temporary carers varying from older dogs who need some extra TLC, litters of puppies, dogs recovering from illness and those who simply cope better in a home environment.
"Dogs Trust cover all fees and foster carers can go on to adopt their foster dog permanently should they wish. The average stay for a dog in a foster home is three to four weeks, although some dogs can be fostered up to eight months and some for just a weekend."
Of the 2,000 people questioned, 59% of people in the region admitted to feeling lonely at some point during the course of 2016. But the good news for dog owners is that their four legged friend can help – with 94% of dog owners polled saying their dog made them less lonely and 97% saying their dog made them happier.
Emma Cooper, Assistant Manager at Dogs Trust Leeds, last year fostered four-week old blind Chihuahua Cross Pikachu. Looking back on the experience she said, "Pikachu had been rejected by her mum so the owner had been hand rearing her and then brought her into us. She was absolutely tiny. I took her home and looked after her for eight weeks, getting up several times a night to feed her and check she was OK.
"Thankfully she proved to be a resilient little thing and is now thriving in her forever home. Although I work with dogs every day there is something very special about taking a dog into your own home to help them on their way and do whatever it takes to make sure that ultimately they are able to be adopted and live life to the full with their forever family."
If you would like to foster a dog, please contact Joy Corrie on 0113 2814 922 or e-mail her on firstname.lastname@example.com. To find out more go to www.dogstrust.org.uk/fostering.

Amber Dawn comes to her first novel from a respectable career in sex-worker advocacy and post-feminist erotica. Currently program director for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, for more than a decade she's been a creative force behind projects such as the touring Sex Workers Art Show, SKANK (a "smut cabaret") and the award-winning "docu-porn" short film, Girl on Girl.
Sub Rosa chronicles a girl hooked on acquiescence. Not initially a toiler in the sex trade, she's caught teetering on the edge and ready to succumb. Her new emotional captor is Arsen, a mellow-seeming dude with an Italian phallus car and a high-rent beige apartment. He's the sort of guy who imagines that his serial infatuation with peachy young flesh is real affection, even as he's pimping his girls out with nightly quotas. Dawn's scene showing Arsen's first sex with Little is a stark ballet of character revelation. Arsen is slick with control and gentle enough to make Little's compliance feel like consent. The images of the sex itself are spare but riveting, a carnal mime of the deeper human encounter. There's genuine erotic power to the scene, even as we see that it's a first caress in what could be the rape of a entire life.
Dawn then smartly pulls back from expectations. Her tale will not jerk tears or court outrage. She nudges realist narrative into a dream world, where violence comes with surreal power yet leaves no lasting scars. Arsen drives Little and two other worker-girlfriends, First and Second, to a carnivalesque demimonde named Sub Rosa. Little is initiated into the trade. She spends several brutal nights in the Dark, a purgatorial sub-circle of Sub Rosa, where she's raped and beaten while experiencing it all with equable detachment. In the mornings, hardly more than a shower is needed to make her right again. We're pulled inside a fractured fairytale, Little's elaborate inner narrative of denial, where her brutalized mind and body find refuge in fantasy.
More expectations are subverted. Arsen and his tag-team, First and Second, form a family unit of tough love and rivalry, with Little the new junior member. Three prostitutes and a pimp, they nonetheless echo patterns of control and submission found in many a "normal" family. Household banter, sexual rewards, party nights, a place to call "home" - all combine to obscure and mitigate die-cast inequities. We see Arsen as a smooth tyrant, his deputies his emotional puppets, and Little as a self-deluded victim, yet each one of them has vulnerabilities that defy the impulse to judge. It's the cops who are the villains here. Dawn picks apart ingrained habits of censure, reminds us that contempt or smug pity are never productive options.
Lest we feel this is too rosy a picture of pimps and hookers, Dawn keeps the proceedings at a darkly whimsical remove from the real hurts of the world. She knows we know that pain is real, that women are made chattels, that masters are cruel. She's after a larger vision that raises questions about the entire emotionally fraught edifice of our received beliefs about sex, men and women, roles and rights and abuses.
Dawn establishes setting, character and emerging theme with admirable compression, her visuals and dialogue quickly engaging, then stretches her quite simple story arc to more than 300 pages. The book could be trimmed substantially without losing any essential elements. Yet it remains a uniquely rewarding read.
Returning to the Dark, Little seeks the "angel" who saved her from an earlier scrape. A hallucinatory fall through blackness ends with a calming vision of light: "Heaven had a burgundy-red lampshade made of velvet nap paper. Heaven had dust on the bulb. Heaven was a honeyed-pine side table … a shamrock ashtray." Little's sense of a revived and treasured memory is dashed by the image of a wrinkled woman on the bed, "the tread of sadness on her like her whole life had been a boot fight." The scene distills all we've come to know and foresee about Little's station in the world.
Does she escape her station? True to Little's experience, Dawn refuses to break the fantasy. If there is any redemption here, it's the saving gift of imagination.

A chintzy yet well-intentioned slab of socially conscious science-fiction, Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein's "Freaks" is a familiar tale of super-powered Creed II outcasts who are forced to hide their gifts from the rest of humanity, but the appeal of this derivative slop is all in the telling. The fun here — and there is some decent fun to be had — has nothing to do with the story, and everything to do with how patiently the filmmakers let us in on its secrets. In other words, "Freaks" is undercooked red meat for "Westworld" superfans, Reddit sleuths, and anyone else who tends to engage with genre entertainment as though it were a puzzle for them to solve.
For others, however, this low-budget "X-Men" clone may feel more like an exasperating 104-minute audition for whatever franchise superhero fare its makers are clearly Two Is a Family hoping to be hired for next.
Nested inside a mess of broad metaphors that aren't worth the time it takes to untangle them, "Freaks" — at heart — is a coming-of-age saga that hinges on an intriguing conceit. The film begins inside of a dilapidated house; we don't know where, and we don't know when. The windows Action Point are boarded shut, there are maybe a dozen locks on the front door, and the rooms inside are swamped with the kind of acrid, yellow air that infers some kind of nuclear apocalypse.

For anyone paying attention to the news lately, you might have heard the story of residents in China suing the country because of bad Feng Shui in new builds.
So we decided to research Feng Shui and your fireplace.
According to experts, electric or gas are best because they don't have an open chimney for energy to escape. If you already have a wood-burning fireplace, put a glass screen in front of it to prevent energy from escaping.
If you're in the process of renovating or building your home, here are some tips on selecting the right location for your fireplace.
Fireplaces are meant to be a point of attraction, and to represent your style. Depending on what you want to bring out in your feng shui.
Putting a fireplace in the south wall of your living room will bring good luck. The south energy is fire, and it relates to your future and reputation. To bring out the best, the fireplace needs to be the focal point, with furniture arranged around it.
Other areas that are favourable are the earth-energy walls; the NE wall will bring positive education for you and your children. The SW wall will enhance your romantic relationship.
Avoid a fireplace on the north wall, as this could lead to failure in your work life. Placing it in the SE will also lead to money issues.
Of course, we at VGF take this with a grain of salt. We just found the interest around feng shui, well, interesting.
Our recommendations will always revolve around what type of unit you're looking for and what your main goal for your fireplace is.
Feel free to contact our staff at firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions you might have about your fireplace.

Book: Four Seconds To Lose by K.A. Tucker
Published November 2013 by Atria Books|Pages: 256
Where I Got It: nook store
Series: Ten Tiny Breaths #3
Genre: New Adult Contemporary/Romance
You can find Four Seconds To Lose on goodreads & you can find K.A. Tucker on Twitter, Facebook and her website
Goodreads Summary:
When a gorgeous young dancer walks through his door, a strip club owner must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart in the third novel by the author of One Tiny Lie and Ten Tiny Breaths.
Owning a strip club isn't the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine-year-old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict "no sleeping with the staff" rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain's self-control…and it's been a long time since any woman has done that.
Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it's too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she's putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she's not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn't really exist—and the girl pretending to be her can't get distracted by romance.
Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, and that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she's involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.
What I Thought:
I've really been enjoying the Ten Tiny Breaths series, and Four Seconds To Lose is a great addition to the series. I don't love it the way I loved Ten Tiny Breaths or One Tiny Lie, but I still really liked it!
This book focuses on Cain, who owns the strip club that Kacey works at. We don't see a lot of Kacey or Livie in this one- though they do make an appearance- but I also liked seeing Cain's story. Mostly because he's such a mystery, and I did want to know more of his story because of that. You really do find out why he does what he does, and how great of a boss he really is.
It fits in so well with the series, even though it has a very different vibe to it. I think I got so used to Livie and Kacey and their story that something focusing on a completely different character was going to be different. And Four Seconds To Lose is different in a good way. I just don't think I connected to it the way I felt connected to Livie and Kacey.
We do see quite a bit of Dan and Storm in this one, and I wish they got their own book. I know that we get quite a bit of their story throughout the series, but there's a part of me that wants them to have their own book! And I'd love to see a book about Nate, who also makes quite a few appearances throughout the book. I did like his friendship with Cain, and it's clear they have each other's back.
There is a certain darkness in Four Seconds To Lose than we see in the previous 2 books, and it's definitely because Charlie and Cain have been through a lot. They both have a lot of baggage, and I don't blame them for acting the way they do. I did feel for them, and I wanted them to be happy because they deserved it so much! I also loved them together, and how Cain realized that he can't let Charlie go.
Let's Rate It:
While I really liked Four Seconds to Lose, it also didn't have the same appeal the other books in the series have had. I like that each book in the series stands on its own, and that you don't need to read them in order…but I also love that there is a common thread that connects the books. Four Seconds To Lose gets 4 stars.
