But when her ex tells her he's having a baby with his new wife (after Jillian struggled for years to get pregnant), she hightails it back to Montana to cry on the shoulder of her best friend, Cara.
But in truth, Jillian would rather be comforted by someone else…specifically Zack, Cara's brother-in-law. Zack is a veteran of the Iraq War who came back to the family ranch to raise his preteen son after the boy's mother took off. He's struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him.

Excerpt from LOVING CARA (Book 1)
"This is a great place," I murmur, and turn in a complete circle, taking everything in. The forest is thick here, but with a clearing by a wide pool of water,which is being fed by a creek that empties into it via a beautiful waterfall about twenty yards away. Slabs of rock frame the pond, making a natural ledge to sit on and enjoy nature.
"This is where I've always come whenever I'm happy or mad or just need to think." Josh wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses the top of my head.
"You brought me to your happy place?" I ask, half kidding, and turn my head to kiss his biceps. I can't seem to keep my lips off this man.
And he doesn't seem to mind.
"It seems that anywhere you are is my happy place these days, Carolina."
I gasp and look up into his soft brown eyes.
"So, I brought the person who makes me happy to my happy place," he clarifies.
Well . . . wow.
Before I can respond, he kisses my lips quickly and then pulls away to grab a blanket out of a saddlebag. He takes me by the hand and leads me up onto the rocks by the water. He spreads the blanket out and pulls me down next to him.
"Are you hungry?" he asks, and pushes my hair back over my shoulder.
"Not quite yet."
He nods and his eyes heat as they rake down my face, my neck, and over my tank top, which I know shows off the girls nicely.
If he was going to keep me perpetually turned on today, I was happy to return the favor.
"You are so beautiful," he whispers, and leans in to claim my mouth gently. His lips are gentle and soft, sweeping across my own rhythmically yet slowly, sending shivers down my arms and making my stomach clench.
He has only touched me with his lips and my stomach is clenched. I'm panting, ready for him to take me right here, in the middle of nature.
He cups my cheeks in the palm of his hand and pulls me closer, sinking into the kiss, but then he abruptly pulls back, his brows pulled into a frown.
"You really are warm," he mutters, and feels my neck and forehead.
I laugh at him as I rub my hand up and down his firm chest. "It's hot outside, Josh."
"Let's cool off." He smiles down at me wickedly and begins to peel me out of my clothes.
"We might give the wildlife quite a show," I warn him mildly, excitement coursing through me.
"That's the plan." He winks at me and quickly strips out of his own clothes. He pulls me up onto my feet and peels my jeans and panties down my legs.
"Now what?" I ask with a wide smile.
"Now we cool off."

Title: Slade (Wild, #3)
Author: Adriane Leigh
Expected Publication Date: September 2014
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Cover It! Designs
Cover Model: Marcel Snyman
Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of pain...
Always overlooked. Always just there. That's what Dillon was to me.
Until one night.
In one night she flipped my world on its axis and there's no going back. But she has secrets, and secrets fester like an open wound. They color the past and forecast the future, but I'm determined to open her up; free her from her memories so she can live in the light and have the life she deserves.
It's just too bad that she wants nothing to do with me. But I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm not a man that gives up without a fight. I've had a taste and there's no walking away.
I just have to convince her that I'm not what she fears, I'm what she wants.
Slade, like Wild and Ridge, is a standalone.
Reading Wild and Ridge first will provide some back story, but is not required to read Slade.
Fair." I nodded, afraid of the next words to come out of her mouth.
"Well, I'm not sure I'm into that. It looks pretty fucking terrifying."
"It's all about trust. I'll never take you farther than you want to go."
She huffed and averted her hardened gaze. "I have issues with that."
"No shit." I mumbled. Her eyes cut to mine. "I read you like a book, Dillon. You think I didn't realize that you have trust issues when you can't even look me in the eye when I'm inside you?" I ran a lock of her champagne hair between my callused fingers.
She scrunched her nose and looked out to white-capped waves crashing against grey stone.
"I want to earn your trust." I took a step closer.
"Who says I want you to? I never asked you to. We were just messing around, Slade. If you hadn't noticed, I mess around with a lot of people."
Red flames licked my vision. My fists clenched at my sides and every muscle in my body went rigid. "You still fucking around with other people?"
"If I was?"
"Fuck, Dillon. I haven't been with anyone since we started–"
"Started what? Started fucking? I'm just the town slut. Down for a fun time, nothing more. Surprised one of your buddies didn't warn you not to get involved with me."
"Oh, they did." I grumbled, thinking back on Wild's warning not to get wrapped up in Dillon. Too little, too late. That ship had sailed.
She arched full eyebrows at me, gnawed her lips between her teeth until they turned winter white while anger flared in her indignant eyes. "Don't fucking come back to my house, Slade. Don't fucking do it. From the beginning you've acted like you have some sort of macho bullshit claim on me, why is that?" She nailed me with her pointer finger.
"Because you're mine."

Cover Reveal: Besotted (The Billionaire Banker Series – Part 3) by Georgia Le Carre~Teaser and Giveaway
Title: Besotted (The Billionaire Banker Series – Part 3)
Author: Georgia Le Carre
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: April 29, 2014
In Forty 2 Days we cheered as we learned of Lana's opportunity for a second chance to put things right with our wounded hero, Blake. We read with joy at the news of baby Sorab's birth, and with tension in our bodies as the spirited Lana fought and finally overcame the might of Blake's powerful family to win the heart of the man she adored.
Lana has chosen Billie and her friend Julie Sugar to be her bridesmaids and preparations are under way as the big day draws ever closer for the besotted couple. Billie loves Lana and would do anything for her, but Julie's feelings are more concealed as she hides a shocking secret from her friend.
Though Lana believes she has sidestepped Blake's treacherous ex to win her man, storm clouds are never far away where Victoria is concerned.
Will all go smoothly for the lovers on their big day?
Or is there unforeseen drama that may yet still spoil the couple's happily ever after?
He looks at me over the rim of his glass. 'Why? Are you interested in being a submissive?'
'I don't know. I could be. What is it?'
'It's a game.'
'I like games. Start me off and I'll tell you if I like it.'
He stops smiling, his eyes change, darken. Very deliberately he positions his drink right in front of him, tips his glass sideways and allows the liquid in it to pour onto the table. I watch the puddle grow on the table. At some point before the glass is empty he stops pouring. I lift my eyes from the spill and look at him. His eyes are expressionless, watchful. The silence stretches. I break it. 'Well?'
'Clean it up,' he says.
'I don't need to repeat myself, do I? It is a punishable offence.'
For a moment I feel confused. Was this the thing that has everybody hot up the collar? Do I want to be his little slave? The answer is obvious and immediate. I don't. Definitely not. But I'll let it play a little more and see where this little game goes. I turn towards the paper towels.
'Not with the paper towel.' His voice cracks like a whip.
I turn towards him slowly. Our eyes clash, a look of impatience about his. What does he want me to do? Clean the table with my tongue? The thought is unsexy, off-putting. 'With what then?'
He leans back and folds his arms across his chest. 'With your sex.'
And suddenly I am wet. The idea is shocking but incredibly, unbelievably erotic. I hook my thumbs into white lace and push them all the way down. I step out of them.
'Give them to me.'
I bend down to retrieve them and walk towards him. I look into his eyes as I drop it into his outstretched hand. He puts it into his trouser pocket.
I pull myself onto the table and opening my legs slightly so he can see what I am doing, slowly drag my sex across the spill. Something flashes in his eyes. His drink is cold on my warm skin. When I have pulled myself across the liquid I stop and look to him.
He nods slowly. 'You,' he says, and there is a touch of admiration in his voice, 'are an excellent pupil. You never do more than what you are instructed to do.'
I say nothing. Just hold myself in that position.
'Now spread your legs,' he orders.

He plays to win and isn't afraid to break all the rules...
Fiery bartender Julia Bell has been hit on by her fair share of customers, but has never been tempted to dip so much as a toe in that particular dating pool. She wants a man who can claim her body AND captivate her mind. Enter Clay Nichols, a lawyer with a dirty mind and a mouth to match. Confident, sexy, and commanding, he takes Julia to new heights of pleasure. And after one unforgettable weekend together, he craves more of her. If only she hadn't taken off without saying goodbye...
Julia has no room in her life for commitment, not while she has serious trouble breathing down her neck, thanks to the criminal dabblings of a former flame. She doesn't want to involve anyone she cares about in the kind of danger that's chasing her and that's the problem with Clay-she's falling for him. Hard. He makes her heart race, and sets her body on fire.
He's determined to keep her in his life, no matter the cost. She's the woman he desires in every way. But when the past threatens to destroy any chance at a future, she has to make a choice -keep running, or give love a shot with a man who can hold her imagination, and her heart, night after night...
It was only supposed to be one night...
When the sexy-as-sin lawyer walked into her bar in San Francisco, Julia Bell simply wanted a break from the troubles that kept chasing her. That escape came in the form of sinfully handsome Clay Nichols, a man who captivates her mind AND turns her inside out with pleasure. The attraction is electric and they share one scorchingly hot night together, but they also discover there is more than just off-the-charts chemistry; the connection between them runs deep.
Clay never thought he'd return to New York with this woman still on his mind. But he can't get her out of his system, and he needs more of her...He wants more than just the first night...
*This is a prequel novella to the erotic romance NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.*
Message from Lauren:
"I'm being punished for turning you on?"
Another shake of his head. "No. You are being rewarded for turning me on. But we're doing it my way. You teased the fuck out of me, and now I want to watch you squirm. Crawl up on my bed and get on your hands and knees."
She held up her wrists, a sexy wink in her eyes. "I've been waiting for this."
"Go, woman. And leave your shoes and stockings on."

Reality is much worse:
A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning.
I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom: J.S.
Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games. But in the end, it all comes down to one choice:
Resist and die.
Or submit, and sign my life away.
Oh God. It's him. There's no mistaking that rich, masculine treble.
What's he doing down here?
"M-Mr. Stonehart," I stutter, turning. I curse my inability to hide my surprise. He totally caught me off-guard. I have to look up to meet his eyes. Then up some more.
The face that I find is so striking it should belong to a Greek god.
He's younger than I expected. Late thirties, maybe early forties.
That means he started his company when he was younger than me!
Dark scruff lines his angular cheeks. His jet-black hair is styled in long, natural waves. My fingers itch to run through it.
Totally inappropriate.
He has a prominent nose that might be too big on a less imposing man, but on him, it's perfect.
In short, he's a package of the purest masculinity I've ever seen.
And then there are his eyes. Oh my God. His eyes. They pierce into me like honing missiles. They are the deepest black I have ever seen. They would be frightening if they weren't so beautiful. When the light reflects a certain way, you catch a glimpse of the purple underneath.
They are like midnight sapphires. His eyes reveal a cunning intellect. Those eyes do not miss a thing.
Add all that to his towering height, his wide shoulders, his confident-yet-at-ease posture… and Stonehart cuts an intimidating figure.
My gaze darts to his left hand before I can stop it. No ring. He's unmarried.
He looks down at me, expectantly. His eyes narrow ever so slightly, and I feel like I'm being dissected, measured up, and tucked away in some small corner of his brain. I imagine this is what a gemstone feels like under the magnifying class of the most critical appraiser.
Stonehart clears his throat. I come to with a start, realizing I haven't said anything in ages. I open my mouth, but the capacity for speech seems like a foreign concept to my brain. "I—"
Somebody bumps into me from behind. I stagger forward. I'm not used to these shoes, so my heel steps the wrong way. My ankle twists under me, and I start to fall.
I don't fall far. The hand still on my elbow tightens, and Stonehart pulls me into him.
I plaster myself onto the solid steel wall the man has for a body. I catch a scent of his cologne. It's a deep, musky smell with a hint of charred spruce that is all male. It scrambles my thoughts even more.
"Sorry!" a rushed voice calls out. From the corner of my eye, I see the postman giving a hurried, apologetic wave.
Although the sequence lasts less than a second, it feels like an eternity. Pressed up against him like that, I don't want to move. I know that I couldn't have made a worse first impression.
Stonehart eases me off him with a firm yet gentle grip. Our eyes meet. I flush the most vibrant red. His fingers graze my forehead as he brushes a lock of hair out of my face.
Any tenderness I may have imagined vanishes when Stonehart takes out his cell. He long dials a key and growls an order. "Steven. See the delivery boy leaving right now? Have his building pass revoked."
I gape. Stonehart keeps speaking. "Wait. I thought of one better. Bar his company from accessing the building." There's a pause. "For how long? Indefinitely. FedEx can talk to me when they have an improved employee selection program in place."
The phone call gives me just enough time to compose myself. My heart's still beating out of my chest. But nobody has to know that.
I speak without thinking. "You're going to restrict the entire company from serving this building because of that?"
Stonehart humors me with an answer. "A company's employees are its most important asset. Their behavior reflects the organization as a whole. If FedEx decided that clown is good enough for them, it tells me they're sloppy. I do not do business with sloppy organizations."
"What about the other tenants in the building?" I ask. "Won't that piss them off?"
When I hear myself and realize how improper my question is, my cheeks flame red again.
Stonehart's eyes darken, as if he cannot believe I asked that question. I open my mouth to apologize for my imprudence, hating the way my professional skills have evaporated into thin air. I'm cut off by a short, barked laugh.
"Miss Ryder." He sounds amused. "I believe that is the most direct and honest question anybody has dared ask me in weeks." He takes my elbow again and leads me to the elevators. I have to take two quick steps to match one of his long strides.
"Yes," he continues. "They will be 'pissed off.' But the perk of owning a building—" he hits the elevator call button, "—is that you get to make executive decisions." He gives me an unreadable glance as the doors open. "That is, at the risk of being questioned by inexperienced interns."
If that isn't a loaded remark, I don't know what is. I flush scarlet red for the third time since I've met him. I've never had a man throw me so off balance.
The elevator is packed, for which I'm infinitely thankful. The trip up will give me some time to properly compose myself.
Gratitude turns to panic when the crowd files out, meek as mice, when Stonehart steps in. None of the people waiting in the lobby follow us.
The doors close. I'm alone in here with him. My heart's beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings.
He catches me staring. "Impressed?" he asks.
"They know you," I manage.
His dark eyes flash with amusement. "Astute."
I live near beautiful Seattle, Washington. I grew up reading all types of fantasy books before discovering the wonderful world of romances in high school. Now, I spend most of my time writing about sexy men and the women who love them.

The Fulfillment of ManSubmitted by theshovel
Let me expand on what I mean when I say that Jesus is the fulfillment - not the replacement - of man.
First off, the statement doesn't deny the truth stated in John 12:25, but emphasizes it:
He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
John 12:25
Please notice, the verse doesn't claim a man's life needs to be replaced but rather it presents the irony in how his life is truly found. Likewise, the question...
For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8:37
...refers not to the exchange of Christ's life for ours but to man's false perception that life can be gained through the acquiring of possessions in this world.
Now, while it is true that Christ has become my life he did not become ME in place of me, he became my LIFE so that I could finally BE me.
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20
Seen as a replacement, a bogus identity conflict often rises up from which we struggle to achieve a less-me-more-Him relationship; but as a fulfillment, no such contradiction exists.
You see, without Christ, I had been loving what I only perceived as my life, which means that I had been existing in a constant state of loss regarding it. Trying to find myself in this world only succeeded in pushing my life far from me. Through Christ, the life I thought I had gained in this world was actually against me, and I have come to hate that bogus thing ... even though I might often try to convince myself otherwise!
We have labored far too long under the fallacy that we ever had any life to begin with, for all we ever had was the emptiness of a parasite attached to a dead host. That's right, we lived as vampires sucking the life-blood from others, but those sources only contained an artificial nourishment that had to be replenished on a constant basis to keep the lie alive. The activity of the exchange perpetuated the illusion that life was somehow being transferred or sustained. In reality, we were incessantly haunted by the nagging demand of emptiness, even while claiming to have been fulfilled by it.
The good news is that in his death Jesus nailed the lid shut on the vampire's coffin, for he took that former emptiness and condemned it to death in his own body. He became for us the embodiment of sin, doing away with the perversion of that which had originally been created in God's image. The former was done away with ... and we finally found ourselves.
The simple reason many Biblical statements regarding the former life often reek of contradiction and impossible demands should be obvious: they are viewed according to the false perception of life as imagined by a marred creation that has no real life! When Jesus addressed the people his words couldn't help but create conflict because he spoke of their life in terms meant to expose their false perceptions of it. Statements made after Christ's death and resurrection are likewise misread because they force those same false perceptions into the words we read even though heavily contrasted to reveal the only true life.
In Christ - who is the very image of God - the unfulfilled was fulfilled, the incomplete has been made complete. Apart from Christ, the designation "Made in God's Image" has less meaning than a faded label on an old pair of soiled underwear. Nevertheless, that fatally flawed image has been foreshadowing the real one from the beginning, even as a mirage in the desert testifies that water is not merely a dream. The image insists something substantial.
And yes, it has everything to do with the word of God. :)
One of these days I may continue this.
The Fulfillment of Man
exchanged life, fulfilled life, etc.
empty no more ~ separated no more :)

Once again you have nailed it, Jim old boy: Christ our fulfillment.
Just as electricity is indispensable to a light bulb being able to function as a light bulb, just as gasoline is indispensable to an automobile being able to function as an automobile, so is Christ in man is indispensable to a man being able to live as a what he was created to be. Without Christ we only deceive ourselves in thinking we are functioning as men--human creatures. All of what we do, think or say apart from Christ as our life is but emptiness, clanging gongs and crashing cymbals.
Jesus gave a partial example of this upon stating to an astonished religious hierarchy that man was not made for the Sabboth--but the Sabboth for man! This of course demanded that the whole of the Law was the same way: formed for man and not man for the Law, the way in which it was taught by the religious leaders of Jesus' day. A revolutionary idea that totally annihilated them and their gargantuan efforts to achieve peace with God.
What need did God have of the Law or for man to follow the Law? Indeed, being God what need did Jesus have to follow the Law? The Law was made for man, a temporary fulfillment for us until we could be fulfilled by the only one who could fulfill the Law first and thereby be the fulfillment of man.
All about us today we see those who call themselves Christians attempting to "follow Jesus." They've gone back to the other side of the cross and keep the Law alive, trying in vain to follow its impossible demands. But Jesus said the only way to follow Him was by going to His cross and becoming crucified with Him. Jesus did not remain dead and so the only way to follow Him beyond the cross is to receive His life as a replacement for ours just as he received back His own life in replacement for the one He lost that had become sin for us.
If, dear one, you are attempting to follow Jesus then you are trying to fulfill the Law that only the Son of God could fulfil--and has! What you need is electricity in your personal light bulb and gas in your personal car, the life of Christ so that you can function as the man, woman or child God created you to be. Great stuff, Jim. Always a pleasure to exchange the truth of Christ in us, our life and our only hope of glory.
Peace, my brother

I finally just finished reading the last shoveletter. Some things that stuck out to me in it were:
"Now while it is true that Christ has become my life, He did not become ME in place of me; He became my LIFE so that I could finally BE be. " / "Seen as a replacement, a bogus identity conflict often rises up from which we struggle to achieve a less-me- more-Him relationship, but as a fulfillment no such contradiction exists". / "The former was finally done away with and we finally found ourselves.
Though I understand all of this to a degree and agree, some questions still come to mind. I guess I'm wanting a more concrete understanding of how it is that that LIFE made it possible "that I could finally BE me." If I wasn't ME before the fulfillment of LIFE, what was I...or anyone else in that predicament now? Does this go along with what we are told about how if Adam and Eve had eaten from the Tree of Life instead, then we would have had that completion then instead of having to wait for Christ to bring salvation later on?
Also, I was very much raised and taught in the arena of "less of me and more of Him". They backed it up with the words of John the Baptist who said that I must decrease and He must increase." Maybe that was just a one time thing then since that was a unique situation of someone who actually lived at the same time that Christ was on earth and who did have followers that needed to then become followers of Christ. (?)

Hi Joyce,
WHO were we? Heck, we didn't even know. That's why we defined ourselves by what we did or where we lived, by our ancestral lines or the color of our skin, ad infinitum. The same goes for those without Christ now.
This is why we hate the modern concept of evangelism with its underlying thrust to make people become "Christians" as opposed to something else. The message of Christ declares fulfillment to a world that is frantically seeking to find a real identity. It declares, through Jesus, a release from whatever has bound us to the vicious cycle of missing the very life we have tried to find.
What would have happened if Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life is a hypothetical consideration that didn't happen, and as Christ is "the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" it doesn't seem that it would have happened, etc ... BUT the tree of life does obviously picture the life of God that could have fulfilled them even then. All of this is working together to reveal this most magnificent miracle of God as the life of the man.
Regarding the "I must decrease, he must increase", I think you see it rather clearly. Had we been there when John made his statement we would have felt the impact because we would have been witnessing a confusing and discouraging shift. Realize that for quite a while John had been preaching out in the wilderness so that the whole surrounding area was charged with an expectation beyond anything they had ever known, and could only quote back to the ancient Scriptures regarding Moses and David. The accounts in Matthew, Mark and Luke repeatedly told how "all Israel" came out to see John. He was the absolute BIGGEST thing that had ever happened in their lifetimes. [No doubt there had been a stir concerning the birth of Jesus ... but only in a very limited way as it was kept mostly hush-hush by God.]
When Jesus finally showed up on the scene to be declared to Israel by John many of the people weren't really sure what to do, who to follow. The people had been powerfully drawn to this wild man. He was looked upon skeptically by the religious elite, but couldn't be ignored by them so that even they made a show of wanting to follow his "baptism".
Though John had been speaking of "preparing the way" the people as a whole weren't too sure about this Jesus: he didn't quite fit their expectations. But little by little many of John's followers left him and started following Jesus. In the midst of John's testimony about how Jesus was the one he had been sent to proclaim John made the simple statement about "his" ministry: I must decrease but he must increase. He said it to let them know that this mass exodus is what was supposed to be happening so that they would not view Jesus as one who came to steal John's followers.
Also consider that John was the epitome of the law, while Jesus was grace personified. The old was even then in the process of passing from the scene while the new was being raised up.

Jimmy -
You are the only one I know who can get away with including soiled underwear in a treatise on "New Life." I loved the teaching. It is so true that we naturally and even instinctively interpret the things we begin to learn in our new lives through the ruined lenses of our old lives. How easy it becomes then to make the new life just a peculiar and impotent twist on the old life. Nothing really new, alive, potent, transforming or real. Just old religion in drag.

Hi Jim,
The comments are from my friend Bill.
Love, Rich-man
In regard to the article you sent me from "The Shovel." I liked it. This
is another view of what we have been going round and round with others the
last few weeks. Namely the question of obliteration or individual identity
or who the heck is on first anyway? The author correctly notes the key
distinction between "me out and Christ in" and Christ as my life. We need
to be careful of this as I noted the other day. It just sounds so
spiritual to say its Christ and not me - but this is a trap and a dodge. I
feel this position (it's Christ, not me) is motivated by a desire to evade
personal responsibility.
We were made unique individuals by the Father. This fact is one of the
greatest evidences of how precious we are to Him. The Father sent Christ
to give us a way to become all He intended we should be - not to destroy us
and replace us with Christ. If that were the case He could have more
simply and humanely just wiped out humanity after the fall and populated
the world with "Christ Clones." I firmly believe the Father's desire is to
have a huge family of individuals all united by the animation of a common
life - Christ. We are, I feel, to be a infinite expression of the various
aspects of Christ.
Have a great day. Love.
Your brother and friend,

"Nevertheless, that fatally flawed image has been foreshadowing the real one from the beginning, even as a mirage in the desert testifies that water is not merely a dream. The image insists something substantial."
I will have to be brief to ensure that this email is sent! But I wanted you to know how blessed I was by your recent letter. The whole thing was great and encouraging. In particular the above line had been sticking with me since I read it. It says so much that can easily be missed.
".. even as a mirage in the desert testifies that water is not merely a dream."
I love that line, and have already used it since I read it. It is a great analogy of how God uses suffering to reveal truth to us. It is why the atheist prays to God in a desperate hour and how God teaches us a truth about Himself when we go through trials. I like, in particular, the atheist/unbeliever idea. God can be denied easily when all is well at the oasis. But in the desert of life, we desperately look for what we thought
never existed. That very desperate vision is a testimony to his existence simply because we look and cry out to Him.
Anyway, I loved the whole letter. Thanks for your encouragement!!
Your brother,

Are Aches and Pains Symptoms of Low Thyroid?
Aches and pains can be a symptom of low thyroid function or poor thyroid function, simply because all over your body, in your muscles and joints, and all your cells you have thyroid receptors. But more than that, the majority of women (up to 90%) who take thyroid medication will fail to have any type of good response, simply because it's likely an autoimmune thyroid problem versus just primary hypothyroid which is what you get treated with when you Levothyroxine and Synthroid.
Symptoms of low thyroid:
- Tiredness
- Sensitivity to cold
- Weight gain
- Constipation
- Depression
- Slow movements and thoughts
- Muscle aches and weakness
- Muscle cramps
- Dry and scaly skin
- Brittle hair and nails
- Loss of libido (sex drive)
- Pain, numbness and a tingling sensation in the hand and fingers (carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Irregular periods or heavy periods
Those are for primary hyperthyroid which is actually a rare condition. So when you have one autoimmune disease it may not just be attacking your thyroid, it may be attacking your muscles, your bones, your skin, your brain, everything else, and that's why we will have multiple symptoms when we are diagnosed with hyperthyroid.

Astro0Stuff ~ TelescopeMart.com
* Useful for either prime-focus or eyepiece-projection photography with refractors or reflectors
* Slides into telescope focuser; has T-threads for attachment of camera body
* Allows you to vary the magnification without changing the eyepiece
* Requires T-ring, sold separately, to fit your brand of camera
The 1.25" Variable Universal Camera Adapters allow attachment of a camera body to reflector and refractor telescopes for either prime-focus or telescope eyepiece-projection photography (hence the term "universal"). The adapter slides into the eyepiece holder as an eyepiece normally would.
This universal adapter is composed of two detachable parts: a prime-focus adapter (or "T-adapter") for prime-focus photography, and a fixed-length or variable extension tube for eyepiece-projection photography. A thumbscrew in the extension tube holds the telescope eyepiece in place.
This combination of prime-focus and eyepiece-projection camera adapter has a sliding barrel design that allows variable projection distances. This allows for slight changes in magnification without swapping telescope eyepieces when performing eyepiece-projection photography. Fits reflector and refractor telescopes with 1.25" eyepiece holders.
This Variable-Power Universal Camera Adapter is precision made of black-anodized aluminum and is compatible with 1.25" telescope focusers and many 1.25" telescope eyepieces (some eyepieces have housing diameters that are too large to fit inside the adapter). The barrel of the adapter is threaded for filters. A T-ring for your specific camera model (sold separately) is required to couple your camera body to the universal adapter.
For Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, a T-adapter (5116) or tele-extender (5127) are recommended instead, because their threaded fittings provide a more secure coupling of the camera to the telescope.

Here's my first in the line of design hours.
In the world of web
Nudge. This site is unbelievably minimal, yet has such an impact. I think the photography is beautiful and I also think there's one particular style going through all the design - it makes me think it's a one-man show. They've created a whole new vintage.
Beatbox Academy. I like this site. I really like this site. I like anything you can play a drum kit on. From a design perspective - look at the concept. Speech bubbles, cymbals and drums. Again, quite minimalist - as you look through the pages you'll see it's all on one page.
PS. I'm taking a month off to go on a Beatboxing course :)
A couple of email templates from Campaign Monitor:
Amplify. I like the simplicity of this email and I rarely receive anything email-wise on a black background. It stands out from the crowd.
Eyetoons. If I subscribed to these, I would read this entire mail. The yellow is so bold and the layout and little animation lift the template somewhat. Lionel Richie (Lion-al Rich Tea) made me giggle.
Bakken & Bæck. What I like about this site is that not only do they produce pretty good looking mobile apps and websites, but they've taken some photos of people using these apps on phones and tablets - with some not-too-shabby photography too. They also work in stables. How cool.
In other design
Has anyone ever been to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester? Daniel Libeskind was the architect on this particular building: (below left)
The inside of the war museum wasn't to my taste - I went purely for the architecture. I find Libeskind's (above left) and Frank Gehry's (above right) work fascinating.
You can't have a design week without having some logos:
I often think that you must be able to design a logo in black and white, before it works with colour added to it. These 3 logos above are prime examples of that. Small concepts, big messages - that's the idea. Logos should only focus on one core concept - if they feature more than one, try merging it into one recognised symbol.
Here's some examples of use of negative space within logos:
To the untrained eye, they take a little more looking at, but logos with negative space often have two messages going on - Flight Finder having the two Fs and a plane in the image and the Food Writers - you instantly see it as a pen nib but then see a spoon inside. Clever stuff.
My font of the week
Josefin Slab is a Google slab-serif font. I've always loved slab-serif fonts but up until recently, we've always been limited to just Rockwell and Geometric Slab - and these are primarily for print. Fortunately, Google have added this little number to their wardrobe of fonts - it's cute, rounded and modern. I think in the right context, this could make a website very special.
And finally…
I'd like to 'Finnish' off with the internationally recognised symbol for Sauna:
Written by Matt Preston, designer at ExtraMile Communications.
At ExtraMile we try to take an hour out each week to look around us at what others do and to gain inspiration and to admire people's creativity. Each post in this series is one staff member's take on the world of web, design and things online. We hope you enjoy it.

Meals on Wheels program originated in Great Britain as a
way to feed injured servicemen who could not feed themselves
or leave their homes. The first program in the United States
was started in Philadelphia in 1954. The United States program
targeted home bound seniors who needed meal assistance.
The program was funded through a grant from the Henrietta
Tower Wurtz Foundation and pioneered by social worker Margaret
The Meals on Wheels Association of America commissioned
a study on the senior hunger crisis in America and found
that well over five million seniors suffer from food insufficiency.
The study found that low-income, ethnic minorities, renters,
and people living in the South were more at risk than their
peers. The study also showed two-thirds of the seniors suffering
from hunger were Caucasian and the problem was distributed
fairly even among rural and urban populations.
In recent times Meals on Wheels programs have suffered
from budget cuts and have had to rely more on volunteers.
They have also started to employ a new food distribution
program where meals are not delivered to homes but are served
at local senior centers.
These local congregate meal programs have several benefits
for the participants and the local Meals on Wheels chapters
that run them. In addition to the cost savings on transportation
and staffing, the congregate meals on wheels programs benefit
the senior in many ways.
A study done by the Administration on Aging showed that
one congregate meal provided at least one-third of the daily
nutritional needs of the seniors who participated showing
how important the meals are in terms of dietary intake.
One congregate meal provided as much as fifty percent of
the daily recommended allowance for some vitamins and minerals.
The seniors who participated in the meals on wheels congregate
programs were less likely to be deficient in overall calories,
calcium, vitamin B6, and Zinc. In addition to the meal served
at the senior center many participants also take home a
snack or an extra meal allowing them to have access to more
nutritional foods.
Along with the nutritional benefits of eating a congregate
lunch the participants also benefit from the social interaction.
Those attending a meal program at a senior center were able
to develop senior support networks leading to healthy friendships,
conversation, and camaraderie. The social aspect of Meals
on Wheels congregate programs helps seniors find relief
from loneliness, isolation, and even feelings of depression.
In a focus group of congregate meal participants conducted
by Northwestern University, participants said the lunch
program gave them something to look forward to and provided
mental stimulation. They also mentioned that the program
kept them feeling younger and mentally active.
The focus group also found that
many participants were able to learn about other important
senior services offered at their local senior center or
other agencies in their community that they would not have
known about had it not been for the Meals on Wheels congregate
meal program.

HA NOI (VNS) — The Vietnamese stock market in 2013 has climbed more than 20 per cent. However, with the economy facing some problems, shares from the bank sector, in particular, faced quite a few difficulties. The prices of the shares of most listed bank declined in 2013. However, some individuals still made the list of top earners.
Here are the top 10 bank billionaires (in the Vietnamese dong) of the stock market.
1. Ocean Group (OGC) chairman Ha Van Tham
Tham's net worth reached VND1.5 trillion (US$70.7 million), making him the eighth richest person in the stock market.
He heads several subsidiaries of the Ocean Group, including OceanBank, Ocean Hospitality and Ocean Retail, while also being a member on the management board of Vinamilk (VNM), one of the stock market's blue chips.
2. Techcombank chairman Ho Hung Anh
As Techcombank is not listed on the stock exchange, Anh's assets cannot be accurately valued. But he holds 15.77 million shares of the private equity group Masan (MSN), one of the more resilient stocks in the market, which are worth over VND1.3 trillion ($61.3 million).
3. Sacombank's (STB) largest shareholder, Tran Phat Minh
The 54.9 million STB shares that Minh owns are currently valued at nearly VND930 billion ($43.8 million). In addition, Minh also holds 9.8 million shares of the unlisted Kien Long Bank.
Last year, he was the 11th richest person in the stock market, but this year, that spot has been grabbed by Kinh Bac Urban Development's chairman, Dang Thanh Tam. Minh, meanwhile, slips by two places.
4. Sacombank shareholder Tram Trong Ngan
Ngan has no management position in Sacombank, but his stake in the bank is worth VND925 billion ($43.6 million), making him the 15th top earner in the stock market.
Ngan, Southern Bank's standing vice chairman, is son of Sacombank's vice chairman, Tram Be.
5. Dang Ngoc Lan, wife of Asia Commercial Bank's (ACB) co-founder, Nguyen Duc Kien
Lan holds 38.5 million ACB shares worth VND600.8 billion ($28.3 million). She is on the VietBank's board of management.
6. Asia Commercial Bank co-founder Nguyen Duc Kien
Despite being in police custody due to serious financial fraud, which damaged $5.6 billion of the stock market in August last year, Kien is still the sixth richest person in the bank sector, with 35.17 million ACB shares valued at VND548.6 billion ($25.8 million).
Kien was arrested on August 21, 2012. Two weeks ago, the Supreme People's Procuracy of Viet Nam prosecuted Kien on four counts of "illegal business," "intentionally violating the State regulations on economic management causing serious consequences," "appropriation of property" and "tax evasion."
7. Asia Commercial Bank chairman Tran Hung Huy
Holding 28.77 million ACB shares worth VND449 billion ($21.2 million), Huy is the seventh richest man among banking giants.
Huy is the son of Tran Mong Hung, the founder of the bank. He was made chairman after Kien and other officials were arrested.
8. Sacombank board member Tram Khai Hoa
Hoa, the youngest son of Tram Be, is worth VND401.1 billion ($18.9 million). The 25-year-old billionaire is the youngest man to hold a senior position in a large Vietnamese bank.
9. Former vice chairwoman of Sacombank Huynh Que Ha
Ha's stake in Sacombank is worth VND285.2 billion ($13.45 million). Ha has worked for a long time at the bank and was vice chairwoman before she resigned in May last year.
10. Sacombank CEO Phan Huy Khang
Being CEO and a member of the board of Sacombank, Khang has 15.9 million STB shares, worth VND269.1 billion ($12.7 million).
Before becoming Sacombank's director, Khang spent nearly two decades working for Southern Bank. — VNS

The whole wedding industry is so focused on appearance, and losing weight for the wedding is so common…it's kind of freaking me out. I have my first dress shopping appointment on Monday, and it's really filling me with anxiety. I had always thought I would be excited for dress shopping! But now that it's real, it's like…I'm going to be looking in a full-length mirror wearing wedding dresses, in front of other people…yeah. Big-time anxiety.
Fiance is incredibly supportive (and even told me that he was worried the whole wedding thing would trigger ED stuff in me before I admitted to him that it totally was), so that helps. I want to be able to enjoy this process.

Another View -- Scott Walker: How we turned things around in WisconsinSCOTT WALKER
June 01. 2015 9:48PM
The unemployment rate in the state of Wisconsin just hit a seven-year low of 4.4 percent, well below the national average. In December 2010, it was 8.1 percent.
Five years ago, Wisconsin ranked 41st in the country for places to do business, according to Chief Executive Magazine. Since then, the state has moved up to 12th best in America.
Wisconsin has come a long way in a very short time.
A dismal economy wasn't the only problem. As we came into office, the state faced a $3.6 billion deficit, the rainy day fund was nearly drained and special interests dictated things at the state and local levels.
Thankfully, we changed all of that, and today Wisconsin is a much better place. We turned that deficit into a surplus, and our next state budget starts with a $499 million structural surplus. Wisconsin has the only pension system fully funded, and the rainy day fund is 165 times bigger than when I first took office.
Most importantly, we took on the big government special interests and won. We put the power back into the hands of the hard-working taxpayers. Liberal union bosses didn't care too much for our reforms, so they organized more than 100,000 protesters to occupy our state Capitol grounds. They wanted to intimidate us. Instead, we thought more about the next generation than the next election.
Our reforms went beyond balanced budgets. Today, we do not require seniority or tenure, so schools can hire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in the classroom.
In turn, our schools are better. Graduation rates are up. Third grade reading scores are higher. In fact, Wisconsin has the second best ACT scores in the country for states where more than half the students take the exam.
We reduced the burden on hard-working taxpayers by $2 billion. We cut income taxes in all brackets and lowered the burden on employers. Property taxes on a typical home are lower today than they were four years ago.
To make college more affordable for students and working families, we froze tuition. Plus, we invested in worker training and technical colleges to get people the education and skills needed for careers that pay two or three times the minimum wage.
For those who are able to work, we require job training and drug test screening before we provide public assistance. We want to help everyone who wants a job to find a job.
During the past four years, we passed regulatory reform, lawsuit reform, Castle Doctrine, concealed carry, pro-life legislation and a law requiring a photo ID to vote. Plus, Wisconsin is the 25th state to enact a Right to Work law. It gives every person the freedom to work where they want regardless of whether they are in a labor union.
Bottom line: We found a way to fight and win for the hard-working taxpayers. If we can do it in a state like Wisconsin where the majority of voters have not voted Republican for President since 1984, we can enact common-sense, conservative reforms anywhere in the country.
Many of the politicians in Washington are good at fighting, but they never seem to win those battles. Many others are good at winning elections, but they never seem to fight the important battles. Now, more than ever, Americans need a champion who will stand up and fight — and win — for them and their families.
Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisconsin, is considering a run for President.

What to do: Food, beer and wine events in June
I'm just as guilty as every person reading this.
"There's nothing to do!" You've said it. I've said it. Every fish I've ever owned has probably thought it.
But this summer there are plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy some food and drink events (live music, too!) all around Michiana. We here at Flavor are working on summer event lists to keep you full and happy. All. Summer. Long.
Look for lists for July and August coming soon. If we missed an event in Northern Indiana or Southern Michigan that you know about, let us know in the comments, or email email@example.com, and we'll be sure to add it to our list.
Ignition Presents at Goshen Brewing Co.: The event, featuring live music from The Main Squeeze, Bonnie Bishop, the Soil and the Sun, and James and the Drifters, will be from 5 to 10 p.m. on the lawn at the brewery, 315 W. Washington St. Goshen. Tickets are available via Ignition Music Garage.

Jen - that is exactly what the noise is! Goes on all night long and is especially prevalent in the courtyard - right outside my bedroom window.
Initially I found them an inescapable din, but after a couple trips, I've developed a fondness for the night noises :O)
I stumbled across the attached presentation a few years ago; slides 8 and 9 are about the non native species of tree frog believed to coincide with the build of La Cabana back in 1988-90.
I've never seen one in person...
Wore earplugs. I could still hear the peeps, but the plugs took the edge off enough for me to sleep. down to beach just before 7 and got one of last 2 front row chickees. Heading to Bright Bakery now to grab goodies. Last night ended up being drinks and leftovers in the room. We all got a lot of sun yesterday and were too whipped to venture out.
Also, funny story, and this rendition will not do it justice ... Hubs and I were wandering around Alhambra Mall yesterday afternoon when we were approached by Essy from Shalom Spa..she pretty much wrestled hubs into chair "let me give u sample massage" then proceeded to manipulate him every which way in the chair for about 5 minutes. Then she grabs me "you next". She was scaring the heck out of me but everything she was doing felt pretty good. The woman was a hoot and a ball of energy. After she finishes her "demonstration" she grabs hubs again and drags him into the spa and convinces him to lay down telling him he is "strong like bull" and needs Thai massage. All of a sudden she jumps up onto the bed and climbs on his back and starts jumping up and down like a monkey. His reaction was one of terror, pain and relief all at the same time. She did some more torturous manipulation to him that had me in hysterics, then orders me to the bed. Begrudgingly I lay down and now it's hubs turn to watch her torture me. Everything she did hurt in a good way and we left there feeling really loose and relaxed, and very humoured by what we had just allowed her to do to us. We did give her a good tip but we stopped short of booking the 2 hour Thai massage that she was trying to sell us. Going to try to post a pic below.
Jacki ~ loving Aruba from NJ
holy cow.
what if you did not want a thai massage?
i am laughing, but you could have been injured and of course that would be bad.
wish she could do her magic on the tree frogs.
(we have tree frogs here in florida and when it rains they make a barking kind of noise...when it doesn't rain, their peeps are similar to the aruba frogs, but not as loud)
enjoy the front row
is there wifi on the beach?
thanks for sharing your story and the photos.
OMG I would have been horrified! Of course, she never would have been able to get me to participate. Truth is, I need a lot of personal space!
No wifi on the beach for Tropicana visitors but a couple we know is staying at lacabana and shared their wifi password with us. Due to that we decided we did not need the mio. I have 3 bars from the lacabana wifi.
Re Essy, it was probably silly of is to go along. I think she knew she had us at hello. Lol.

I am highly delighted over my admission as a member of online parent support. I truly pledge to utilize this admission to the fullest advantage. I shall always bring to your knowledge issue, questions and matters bordering my family.
Presently, I have a family of seven comprising wife, four boys, a girl, and myself. The five kids are all in school.
The family runs a small sized paint-processing factory, the proceeds of which sustained the family and catered for the education of the kids. Unfortunately, due to the absence of public power supply in our area since January 2006, the business has grounded. Due to the high cost of generating sets, it has not been possible to resuscitate the factory. Equally, there is a great lull in other ventures as a result of this energy problem.
Consequently, the education of the kids is seriously hampered, as the family now finds it difficult to cope with the high cost of education in Nigeria.
Because of this precarious development, my first son, Chinomso, who was doing second year in the university, withdrew. He now wonders about and constitutes a big problem to the family. The family is seriously disturbed. Efforts made to send him back to school have not yielded any positive dividend as a result of the poor financial state of the family.
What shall we do please? I shall spread the word about online parent support to friends and colleagues.
Thank you, and best regards.
In addition:
I am writing about one Mum in my area with five kids, whose husband died some years ago and has no other extended family to assist her for the upbringing of her kids.
As a result of this predicament the kids resulted to scandalous behaviours of wondering about and appear uncontrollable. Their state has affected their mum's health adversely and her condition is deteriorating.
Please advice in this regard.

Parenting Rebellious Teens
One day you wake up and find that life has changed forever. Instead of greeting you with a hug, your little boy rolls his eyes when you say "good morning" and shouts, "You're ruining my life!" You may think you've stepped into the Twilight Zone, but you've actually been thrust into your son's teen years.
During adolescence, teens start to break away from parents and become "their own person." Some talk back, ignore rules and slack off at school. Others may sneak out or break curfew. Still others experiment with alcohol, tobacco or drugs. So how can you tell the difference between normal teen rebellion versus dangerous behavior? And what's the best way for a parent to respond?

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Many families of defiant children live in a home that has become a battleground. In the beginning, the daily struggles can be expected. After all, we knew that problems would occur. Initially, stress can be so subtle that we lose sight of a war, which others do not realize is occurring. We honestly believe that we can work through the problems.
Outbursts, rages, and strife become a way of life (an emotionally unhealthy way of life). We set aside our own needs and focus on the needs of our children. But what does it cost us?

The Strong-Willed Out-of-Control Teen
The standard disciplinary techniques that are recommended for "typical" teenagers do not take into account the many issues facing teens with serious behavioral problems. Disrespect, anger, violent rages, self-injury, running away from home, school failure, hanging-out with the wrong crowd, drug abuse, theft, and legal problems are just some of the behaviors that parents of defiant teens will have to learn to control.

I try to keep a minimal but capable assortment of items. Functionality is important, but I also like items that add a bit of class and style. And if you couldn't tell, I have a thing for the pairing of silver and black.

Your vacation of a lifetime begins with a visit to the Kennedy House Centre, where you need to undergo a training program which is essential for to ensure your security in house.
Not much of the fort is left – just the officer's quarters (designed by Prince Edward), one bunker and a few earthen fortifications. Still, the museum inside could be very complete and there is a copy of the 1621 constitution that established Nova Scotia. The photo right here is of the officer's quarters. For more information on the fort, see here.
I have, when I used to be very little (5 or 6 I believe). The bushes were amazing. But what I remember most was a forest ranger we met at one of many customer centers. My dad and mom started talking along with her and it ended up with her taking our household up on a hike to a stunning meadow out far-off from everything. We also discovered the ruins of an old cabin (one from the pioneer days I believe) which was exciting. I made a decision I needed to be a forest ranger when I grew up after that (that dream later modified…but I saved that one via much of elementary faculty).
This informative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency article on the use and effectiveness of insect repellents consists of a whole lot of helpful information including ideas for choosing the right insect repellent in your wants , data on using insect repellents safely , and a terrific insect repellent search instrument that permits you to search for the best insect repellents based mostly on how long you need it to guard you, whether or not you want protection in opposition to mosquitoes, ticks or each, merchandise with a particular lively ingredient, and extra.
Thanks you have some actually great ideas, we had two lights on timers last time we went away. This was to make it appear to be we were in numerous rooms at totally different instances. As we at all times have lace curtains, we were a bit nervous that anybody may see inside that nobody was home so I put one other curtain throughout backside of most important windows to block them out.
