Ex-HMAS Darwin Offered to Tasmania

After long and distinguished service in the Royal Australian Navy, decommissioned vessel ex-HMAS Darwin will receive a new lease on life as a dive wreck in the waters off Tasmania, enabling future generations to appreciate the ship and driving tourism.
Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Marise Payne, said she was pleased that ex-HMAS Darwin would call Tasmania home after sailing over 1 million nautical miles during her 33 years of service.
"The Government is pleased that ex-HMAS Darwin will be used in Tasmania as a dive wreck, particularly given the significant tourism and economic benefits that will flow from the decision," Minister Payne said.
"My Tasmanian Coalition Senate colleagues have played an important part in demonstrating the benefits of sending ex-HMAS Darwin to Tasmania one last time.
"I would like to acknowledge Senator Steve Martin who led the charge in advocating for sending ex-HMAS Darwin to Tasmania."
Nationals Senator for Tasmania Steve Martin said the decision to gift ex-HMAS Darwin to Tasmania would give a much welcome boost to the local tourism sector, creating new jobs and bringing more visitors to the east coast.
"The creation of a dive wreck offers small businesses in Tasmania the opportunity to capitalise on national and international interest to dive in the magnificent Tasmanian waters," Senator Martin said.
"This will bring additional tourists and spending to Tasmania, which will create and support local jobs, both directly and indirectly through the industries that support tourism in our state."
Liberal Senator for Tasmania Jonathon Duniam said he had long championed a dive wreck on Tasmania's east coast.
"The addition of a dive wreck will super charge our already booming tourism industry, attracting diving enthusiasts from all around the world, who will stay longer, and spend more in our local communities, particularly in the St Helens region," Senator Duniam said.
The Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments will work together on funding arrangements for the vessel's scuttling.
Ex-HMAS Darwin was commissioned in July 1984 and was a long-range escort frigate that undertook roles including area air defence, anti-submarine warfare, surveillance, reconnaissance and interdiction. In August 1990, HMAS Darwin became the first Australian ship to deploy to the Persian Gulf.
In 2014 she intercepted over 1,000 kilos of heroin and over 6,000 kilos of hashish off the east coast of Africa. In 2016 she intercepted heroin worth $800 million and a cache of weapons from a fishing vessel off the coast of Oman
Ex-HMAS Darwin was granted three Battle Honours: East Timor 1999, Persian Gulf 2002-03 and Iraq 2003. She was decommissioned in December 2017.

Lore:Featured Quest: Shroud of Souls
Evernight[edit | edit source]
The city of Neverwinter has a dark, twisted reflection in the Shadowfell known as Evernight. A small city in the Shadowfell, Evernight consists of cracked stone edifices and rotted wood homes. Its roads are made mostly of trampled grave dust, and its few cobbled streets are missing enough stones that they appear pockmarked and diseased. The sky is corpse-gray, and the breeze blows both cold and humid, bringing an endless chill to the skin.
The city's living residents include maddened necromancers, corrupt purveyors of human flesh, worshippers of dark and evil deities, and others who are both able to make themselves useful and crazy enough to want to live there. But the living are minority in Evernight, for the bulk of the population are the shambling dead. Zombies, wights, vampires, pale reavers, and other undead make the dark city their hope, all under the watchful eyes of the ruling caste: the flesh-eating ghouls. A Tribunal consisting of ancient ghouls and ghasts rules over the city.
Morlanth of the Shroud[edit | edit source]
Morlanth, a female dragonborn necromancer, was once apprentice to Arklem Greeth, former ruler of the Hosttower of the Arcane in Luskan. Greeth sent Morlanth to acquire a powerful necromantic artifact known as the Shroud of Souls from an ancient Kelemvorite crypt in Neverwinter. Morlanth found the Shroud, but ran afoul of the crypt's defenses and was trapped there. Abandoned by her master and kept alive by the Shroud's magic, Morlanth became a shade and used her necromancy to commune with the spirits of dead.
She was release when the mad wizard Lukan broke the warding runes on the crypt, setting her free. Morlanth vowed to raise and army of the dead led by the spirits of the Neverwinter Nine to overtake the city of Neverwinter and eventually the Hosttower of the Arcane.
The Shard of Night[edit | edit source]
The Shard of Night rises high into the sky over Neverwinter, but it casts no shadow during the day. The spire belongs to the Netherese, and exists primarily in the Plane of Shadows. Entry to the tower is primarily through the Shadowfell city of Evernight, but it is whispered other secret pathways exist.
Wraiths[edit | edit source]
A wraith is malice incarnate, concentrated into an incorporeal form that seeks to quench all life. The creature is suffused with negative energy, and its mere passage through the world leaves nearby plants blackened and withered. Animals flee from its presence. Even small fires can be extinguished by the sucking oblivion of the wraith's horrifying existence.

"For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice;" Psalms 33:1
Even a cursory reading of the Founding Fathers reveals a strong desire by them to establish a nation where righteousness could flourish protected by justice. These two concepts are really inseparable and they derive from the essential character of God. In fact, the root word for righteousness and justice occurs 510 times in the Word of God and 102 times it is translated "justice" while 394 times it is rendered "righteousness".
This gives us an important insight into the principles upon which our nation was founded and how the Founders intended for it to be preserved. They understood that freedom is dependent upon justice and righteousness and they also knew that justice and righteousness are dependent on absolute truth.
Our Founding Fathers were versed in the Scriptures well enough to understand the fallen nature of man and were aware that human nature does not tend toward what is right or just or free. So they prayerfully gave much thought and discussion to how to protect the nation from the greedy self-destructive nature of men. The only way that was possible was to establish our system of justice on the absolute truth revealed in the Commandments and the teachings of Christ.
While not all of the Founders were devoted Christians as we evangelicals define discipleship, but they were pragmatic and they were sincere seekers of truth which led them to the conclusion that they must establish this new government on principles of righteousness and justice expressed in the God of the Bible, ""For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice;"
Any attempt to deny or pervert or revise this undeniable truth of our founding is in fact, a violation of this principle. Perhaps the biggest assault on justice is the perversion of justice is the politically correct notion of "fairness" or "social justice" as they refer to it. Social justice comes out of the mistaken belief that rights come from government and that government has a responsibility to make everything fair for everyone. The primary means of achieving social justice is redistributing wealth by taking it from those who have the most wealth and giving it to those who don't have much.
The Founding Fathers believed in that all men were created by God and were created equal therefore deserving equal opportunity and equal justice under the law. But having an equal opportunity is much different that trying to create equal outcomes. It is a misguided pipe dream that has been attempted in many nations throughout the 20th century and has never worked. What it creates is a lot of people who are equally poor and miserable.
Jesus never believed in fairness. He told a parable about the talents in which the three servants were each given different amounts of money to invest and the two who were the wisest ended up with more and the one who did not invest lost all he had.
But rather than rant against those who have set themselves up as enemies of our founding principles, I challenge you to live by them yourself. Guide your own decisions and conduct by these absolute truths expressed in God's Word. Treat others justly. If you want to turn our nation back to these timeless principles that foster true liberty, start with you! Movements consists of individuals committed to a cause. It will take more than just Superman being committed to "Truth, Justice and the American Way" it will also take you!

So here´s the complete step by step making of for this brand new one. This is actually a good example of one of my ideas change overtime during the making of an image and why I don´t plan anything in advance as it would be a waste of time in my worklow anyhow. 😉
The initial idea was to place some sort of fairy tale village against an epic crashed spaceship but then that got a bit abstract at some point. Then I thought about placing a character reading an Oz book, but then again my pics are not about characters but about environments . So finally I got the idea of the rocketship. It gave the perfect retro style I was searching for and at the same time it helped to give scale to the whole background.
Here it goes, from start to finish.
If you are a potential illustration client, if you are looking for an affordable children book artist , concept illustrator or need a freelance artist to work on a pod project ( I do not descriminate print on demand material for sure; I love it ); do not forget to take a look at my illustration portfolio (Fantasy or Childrens Book art ) and I´m always available to discuss future work.
If you have a dream, no matter what your budget is don´t hesitate to contact me and let´s see what we can do.

Stryker LFIT V40
Stryker has already settled for over one billion dollars due to complications surrounding its Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems. Stryker now faces further litigation as its LFIT V40 line of hips come under scrutiny. We are seeing a significant increase in the number of Stryker LFIT V40 lawsuits being filed due to serious injuries including, but not limited to, metallosis.
Metallosis is caused by friction as the different metal parts of the hip implant rub against each other when the patient moves around. Over time, the metal components become corroded, leading to the release of metal particles in the patient's bloodstream.
Stryker's LFIT V40 devices in particular become corroded at the taper junction, the part that connects the LFIT femoral head to the hip stem. This, in turn, causes taper lock failure. Meanwhile, the metal particles released into the blood stream can lead to injuries such as metallosis, necrosis, osteolysis, and elevated cobalt and chromium levels in the blood. Other complications from the LFIT device include loss of mobility, pain, swelling and inflammation, adverse local tissue reaction, detachment of the femoral head, dislocation, instability, and fractured bones.
On August 29, 2016, the manufacturer of Stryker hips, Howmedica, recalled 42,519 of the defective devices. In a letter issued to orthopedic surgeons, Howmedica advised of a "higher than expected" incidence of taper lock failure for certain sizes of its LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads.
We expect that Stryker will eventually craft a settlement plan for the LFIT, just as they have in the past for the Rejuvenate and ABG II; however, this remains to be seen. As of late, the Stryker LFIT cases have been consolidated on both a federal level in Massachusetts as well as on a state level in New Jersey. We are following these two jurisdictions closely to see which one will prove most favorable to our clients.
The federal consolidation will be handled in Boston by US District Judge Indira Talwani. Judge Rachelle L. Harz of Bergen County will be overseeing the New Jersey state court consolidation. Bergen County is the same court that successfully handled the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip litigation – thus, we expect this litigation to be streamlined as the court is familiar with the issues of metallosis from hip implants and related regulatory issues.
We are currently handling cases for clients who have had a Stryker LFIT V40 implanted and we continue handling cases involving the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip implants. If you or someone you know has ever had a Stryker hip implant call Allen & Allen at 866-388-1307 or contact us and let our product liability lawyers help you obtain the settlement or verdict you deserve.
What is Metallosis?
Metallosis is a form of metal poisoning that may occur as a side effect of joint replacement devices with metal components, such as hip or knee implants. These implants can be made from several different metals or metal blends, including chromium, cobalt, nickel, titanium, and/or molybdenum. As the patient moves about, the metal parts rub against each other, releasing microscopic metal particles into the bloodstream and surrounding tissues.
What are some symptoms of a defective hip implant?
Symptoms may include hip/groin pain, local swelling, numbness, changes in your ability to walk, or elevated cobalt and chromium levels in the blood.
Additionally, lose metal particles may cause an adverse reaction around the joint, leading to deterioration of tissue, loosening of the implant, as well as failure of the device. Metal ions have also been reported in some patients to potentially cause other health issues, including:
- General hypersensitivity reaction (skin rash)
- Cardiomyopathy (heart muscle issues)
- Neurological changes including sensory changes (auditory, or visual impairments)
- Psychological status change (including depression or cognitive impairment)
- Renal function impairment
- Thyroid dysfunction (including neck discomfort, fatigue, weight gain or feeling cold)
Are metal-on-metal hip implant complications only due to the metal components?
No. In addition to the metal related complications, metal-on-metal hip implants have the same adverse effects as other types of hip implants, including: infection, loosening, bone loss, device or bone fracture, and joint dislocation.
When would I need a hip revision surgery?
There are a number of reasons why a surgeon may recommend a revision (a procedure where your hip implant is removed and replaced). These reasons can include infection, dislocation, loosening, and device fracture, and are applicable both metal and non-metal implants. Revision may also be considered if you develop evidence of reaction to the metal from your hip implant.
Some of the different hip implants which have been known to cause metallosis include:
- Stryker LFIT V40
- DePuy Pinnacle
- Stryker ABG II
- Stryker Rejuvenate
- DePuy ASR
- Zimmer Durom Cup
- Corin USA Limited Cormet Hip Resurfacing System
- Smith & Nephew, Inc. Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) System
- Smith & Nephew, Inc. R3 Acetabular System
- Wright Medical Technology, Inc. CONSERVE® Plus Total Resurfacing Hip System
Are there risks associated with revision surgery?
Any surgical procedure has risks associated with it, including adverse reaction to the anesthesia, infection, bleeding, and blood clots. The procedure may be even more difficult if you had a local reaction to the implant that has affected your soft tissue and/or bone quality. The complexity of the surgery also depends on how well ingrown the femur bone is to the hip implant: the better the bony ingrowth the more difficult it is to remove the implant stem (should it be necessary to remove the stem).
We Want To Help
If you or someone you know has been affected by metallosis, you may have a product liability claim against an implant manufacturer.
At Allen and Allen, our lawyers have handled many complaints involving contaminated and/or defective pharmaceutical products. We know how to develop the evidence needed to win your case. We can review your claim to help you recover full and fair compensation for your injuries. Contact us at 1-866-388-1307.

The Potala Palace in southwest China's Tibet autonomous region has extended visiting hours by 3.5 hours amid this year's summer travel rush, the palace's administration said Tuesday.
Summer visiting hours will last from 7:30 a.m. to 6:40 p.m., compared with 9 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. in the slack season, said Khyungda, an administrative official with the Potala Palace.
The new schedule will last from May 1 to Oct. 31, although an apparent rise in the number of tourists to Tibet began only in July, he said.
The longer hours are not expected to result in a surge of tourists to the heritage site at any specific time, said Khyungda.
Starting on July 1, the administration has limited the number of daily visitors to 4,000 to minimize potential damage to the ancient lumber-and-dirt structure.
About 100 visitors are admitted to the Potala every 20 minutes in order to minimize crowding, the official said.
A ticket into the palace costs 200 yuan (31.32 U.S. dollars) during high season. Visitors are requested to make reservations a day in advance and tours are restricted to an hour.
The revamped schedule, however, will make it more convenient for visitors to arrange their Lhasa tours and reduce waiting time outside the Potala, said Khyungda.
"I made reservations yesterday and arrived at the Potala at 8 a.m.," said Jiang Xueqin, a tourist from neighboring Sichuan province.
She said she was able to finish the tour in the morning and visit other destinations in the afternoon, thanks to the new schedule.
The 1,300-year-old Potala Palace is perched on craggy hills in the heart of Tibet's capital of Lhasa. It was first built by Tibetan King Songtsa Gambo in the seventh century and was expanded during the 17th century by the Dalai Lama.
It was inscribed on the UNESCO's list of world cultural heritage sites in 1994.
This year, the palace will receive an estimated 1.3 million visitors, up from last year's 1.16 million, the Potala Palace administration said.

Donations open 12:00 PM, 3 December 2019 to 12:00 PM, 10 December 2019
Registered Charity in England and Wales (1159770)
My recent visit to Chora Chori's refuge cemented my respect and support for this amazing charity. I saw first-hand the work that is done by an invested and genuine team to rehabilitate Nepalese children who have been through unspeakable trauma.
ChoraChori primarily supports the needs of two groups of children: 1. Child rape victims whom we rescue primarily from south Nepal 2. Trafficked and displaced Nepalese children whom we rescue from India The first group needs to be protected from their assailants while our legal team deals with the court cases. Both groups require medical care, including mental health support, general care, rehabilitation and education before they can be reunited with families or returned to society.
Our CRRC provides temporary residential care at an excellent site to the southeast of Kathmandu valley. Alongside hostel accommodation, we offer facilities for child trauma management and classrooms for non-formal education and training. The training includes in skills such as tailoring and jewellery making. The site has excellent space for recreation and sport. While the children are with us, our field teams research their family circumstances and assess for reunification.

I've asked some very special people in my life to write about what it is like to have a daughter, family member, friend, girlfriend in their life, who has cystic fibrosis. I did this so people could develop a new frame of mind about loving and living with someone who has a chronic illness.
I've come across many people who view my disease as unfortunate, depressing, and ultimately feel that my existence is a burden on others. This is NOT how my life should be idealized. In fact, it's purely insulting to my loved ones and I.
The first writer to contribute a brief summary of what it has been like to have me, a CFer, in their life, is my ex-boyfriend, Eric. I asked him to write because I wanted every perspective possible. In my dating experience, I have found that it's very hard for other people to want to be with someone with a chronic illness. It's all very pathetic to me, however, I get that some folks aren't emotionally willing and able to care for someone with a disease like mine. Eric was different in that none of this was ever even a thought for him. He supported and loved me for me, not because of my disease.
Below are his own words of what it was like to be my significant other...
"I was asked to write about my experience about dating someone who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. To be truthful, when I met her, I had no idea that she was any way different than any other girl I have ever met. I couldn't have been more wrong but not in any way that had anything to do with her illness. She is outgoing, social, funny, spontaneous, and very pretty. She cares about her friends and she cares about herself, and she was never afraid to tell you her opinion. When we first started dating, I didn't even really know what it was to have CF and I never knew what the symptoms were. She was very upfront with me and told me what was going on. In finding out about the illness, I remember going with her to the hospital when she had to get IV treatments and getting results for PFT tests. I remember her getting very excited or very concerned based on those test results. But through every roller coaster ride at the hospital, I always knew she would be ok. I cant explain it or quantify it in any medical way, but she really was/ is full of too much fire for me to think of any other outcome. While we don't date anymore we remain very good friends. My family loves her and my friends love her and they always ask how she is doing. And the thing that makes me happy is that they are generally not asking about her health. While they know she has an illness, and certainly that is a concern, but they don't see her as ill. And I love that."

Most wireless network cards are recognized automatically by today's most popular Linux distributions. This normally happens while you are installing the distribution onto your computer, so that when you setup your wireless security (we hope you are using WPA, or at least WEP) your wireless card is already there, ready for setup. This is possible because the makers of those wireless cards either provide Linux drivers, or provide access to their sourcecode and/or protocols so that the Linux community can develop Linux drivers for their cards.
Unfortunately, some of the most popular wireless cards used in notebook/laptop computers are made by Broadcom. Broadcom is notorious for not providing Linux drivers -- and for not making it easy for the Linux community to write drivers for their cards. This does not mean that notebooks that use the Broadcom cards can not be used with Linux; it just means that Linux users have to use the proprietary drivers designed for use under Windows.
The secret to getting any wireless card working when it's not supported by Linux, is software called NDIS Wrapper. This article is a description of how I used that software to get the Broadcom wireless network card in my new HP dv6000 Series notebook computer to work. In the forums of various Linux distributions, there are similar posts regarding other computers, and other submissions describing the generic steps for using NDIS Wrapper. There are, however, none that address this particular model of computer together with the latest version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron 8.04.
Here are the specs on this computer:
The Ubuntu support document available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper is very helpful in describing how to ensure that the necessary NDIS Wrapper packages are installed, but you also need the Windows drivers in order to get the Broadcom card working. In my case, the Windows drivers provided by HP were already available in a directory on the Windows partition. (/media/disk-1/SWSetup/Drivers/WLAN/) That's where I started. Although both the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers were present, installing them (bcmwl6.inf) using Ubuntu's Ndiswrapper driver installation tool (available in the repositories and from Add/Remove Programs) did not work.
Next, an often-referenced thread at https://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/drivers.php yielded Broadcom drivers for similar models, but not the dv6830. After tryng the drivers from there, and from other sites suggested in various threads, I still had no luck.
Then I came across this forum thread searching for alternative drivers for the BCM4310: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650729 Knowing that Dell has recently begun supporting Ubuntu, I thought I would try Dell's driver for my wireless card on the off-chance that they would have made it compatible with Linux as well as with Windows. Success! The Dell driver worked on my HP computer. You can find it where I did, at: https://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe. I opened the R174291.exe file with the Ubuntu Archive Manager, extracted it to a directory that I named DRIVER_US, and installed it (bcmwl5.inf) using the Ndiswrapper driver installation tool I had tried earlier. My wireless card has been working perfectly ever since. Thank you Dell, for supporting Linux!

The Brewers Association blog craftbeer.com has published the results of its annual Great American Beer Bars survey, where its readers both nominate and vote for their favorite establishments and where only one bar from each state can be called the best place for independent beer.
This year over 7,700 votes were cast from a pool of beer lovers that is likely larger than it has ever been. With last year's total said to be over 7,000, that would put the voter growth rate between 2017 and 2018 at around 10 percent. In comparison, the growth rate of total breweries in the U.S. over the same relative time period was around 15 percent.
Noteworthy from the 2018 results is that a full 41 percent of the top vote getters from each state are repeat winners. Publisher of CraftBeer.com Julia Herz said in a press release statement that the consecutive placements are "a sign that craft beer bars, now more than ever, are committed to their patrons and ensuring the best overall experience."
For beer lovers who don't find their favorite watering holes and for bar owners who don't find their babies on the list this year, it should be comforting to know that conducting an online poll is a highly unreliable way to scientifically gauge the actual feelings of the general public. For instance, have you ever compared a post-debate poll on FoxNews.com to one on MSNBC.com following the same debate? For those who agree with the list, you're probably in great company — craftbeer.com is completely devoted to promoting independent beer, and ratings from other sites match fairly well with the selections.
You wouldn't be bad off if your main takeaway is this: there are a lot of fantastic places to drink craft beer these days, and that gets patrons really excited. This list and others like it may not be technically accurate, and your bar with the 90 taps, an attached homebrew supply shop and fully certified staff may have been objectively snubbed from the nominating process. But at least that small-town joint who wouldn't have been recognized otherwise got a statewide shout-out for making local beer nerds some of the happiest people on Earth.
You can see the whole list of winners here.

Week 4: 52 Weeks in the Kitchen
Posted March 22, 2012on:
- In: Eat It | Mommy Time | Parenting | The Niko Files | The Stella Files
- 5 Comments
As of today, my tiny entourage and I have a month of recipes under our belt. Just 11 more to go!
Today's treat?
Thanks to Smitten Kitchen (via Pinterest) for the recipe.
Note 1: We doubled the recipe and added a tbsp of poppy seeds. But like the title says…anything goes! Dee-lish!
Note 2: I was actually envisioning/hoping for a lemon loaf of sorts, but I now realize that baking in a loaf pan, does not necessarily a loaf make. Ha well. Still dee-lish (for a cake…)
Note 3: Weeks 1, 2 and 3
Note 4: See bottom pic – Niko is eating outside in a t-shirt and it's March! We are having some record breaking temps this month!

On March 20, 2018 I lost my best friend Jeff Brown unexpectedly. It's been a trying time to say the least, remembering all the good times. There are so many way to memorialize or speak about Jeff, but Jeff was the ultimate influence on my travel experiences, which I am grateful for.
Jeff was born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a disease that essentially makes your muscles weaker and weaker, day by day. We met in high school in an English class. He pulled his wheel chair right next to me, and we've basically been friends ever since.
Our travels together started closer to home. We'd go on day trips to places like museums, downtown San Diego, or Joshua Tree. We eventually started to do weekend or over night trips to San Francisco, Yosemite, Sacramento, and Santa Barbara. These were amazing times. We were young, had lots of support from our parents, and no worries in the world.
All of these trips were initiated by Jeff, every single one. I've been to most or all the places he approached me about visiting, so it wasn't my personal top priority. I was agnostic about travel at that time. However, I was happy to accommodate for Jeff physically, and just enjoy spending the time with my friend. Ultimately, I was traveling for the sake of Jeff.
The real turning point into my outlook on travel came in 2005 while on our tour farther from home, Ireland and The Netherlands. Originally I agreed to go, like always, for Jeff, but Europe was fresh for me. Here I found sights, sounds, smells, and cultures that were exciting and fulfilling. Amsterdam was especially notable as it was the place I thought about the possibilities of living and working overseas.
Unfortunately, this Europe trip would be Jeff's first and last major overseas excursion. The physical demands of long flights proved challenging for Jeff, something we experienced on our return flight. However we did manage more trips closer to home. Fishing out of La Paz, Mexico was a highlight. Jeff was also with me, in a way, on many of my trips; I have countless emails from him asking for updates while I was traveling. He had so many questions.
Without that unforgettable two weeks in Europe I would not be here in Oman writing this from the back of my Land Cruiser. Originally I traveled for Jeff, then he showed me that travel can be more. It was his adventurous spirit and determination that rubbed off on me, showing the way.
Today I am blessed to take that spirit with me all over the world and Oman. I travel to see and experience cultures, people, and places that are on the edges of popularity. I want to see it for myself, not through the lens of a guide.
It's clear why I travel, this whole blog is devoted to that, but why do you travel? What do you like to have, see, or do while traveling? Let me know in the comments below.
There are so many stories I can tell about our experiences together, but I think the excerpt from my speech given at Jeff's celebration of life is a good one:
Now let's move forward to our next adventurous leap. Europe 2005. Jeff, Matt (Jeff's cousin), and I spent two weeks visiting Ireland and the Netherlands. We had to figure out how to bring Jeff's ever growing entourage of equipment along with us. But we did it, and had a great time along the way. In Ireland we visited churches and said our prayers. We ate horrible fish and chips. Viewed the famous Ring of Kerry. Drank a pint or two at St. Jame's Gate and Temple Bar.
In Amsterdam we again visited church to say our prayers. I lost count to the number of churches we visited. We went to the red li…… ummmmm. We visited the Van Gough Museum. Jeff ate a whole box of….. ummm, never mind ….. then we went to the coffee shop and…..
Matt (speaking to Matt in the audience), do you have any stories we CAN tell?…. There was that church we prayed at….? Look, I won't turn this into a roast….
I've got one, Jeff had a hankering for Indonesian food. What's Indonesian Food? We had no idea at the time, but we went for it anyway. We asked the concierge for a recommendation, who promptly sent us across town to find the best Indo joint. It maybe took 40 minutes to reach and a bit of maneuvering to access the tram, but these three goofballs made it to the front door. Mind you, this was before iPhone and google maps.
Beyond the front door was a set of stairs like no other. No landing, no turns, and as tall as jack's bean stalk. After a discussion of our options and a few choice profane words directed towards the concierge who sent us to the restaurant at the top of the world, we decided we didn't come all the way to the Netherlands to eat Dutch food. Step by step, Matt and I hauled Jeff up to the world's best Indonesian Resturant at the top of Mt. Everest.
What's great about this story is it isn't the adventure of overcoming dutch sized stairs, or trying unique curry. Rather it's a story about Jeff's fearlessness in allowing two goofballs to carry him DOWN those obnoxious stairs, all while heavily under the influence of Asia's finest beer.
Look, I can't stand up here and make meaning of Jeff's life or give you peace in his absence. But I can stand here and tell you that Jeff lived an adventurous, amazing, rich, complete, and joyful life.
Jeff, I miss you greatly and I hope one day to join you on your new adventure. I just hope it's not too soon. There's more to see in Oman, and I'm not done yet.

Good News Comes in Small Packages Division: This was the entirety of the article in the Dallas Morning News travel section Sunday:
Come on down for a Janis Joplin tour
Head down to Port Arthur – in a Mercedes Benz, if possible – for a new self-guided Janis Joplin driving tour. The 15 stops include her childhood home, churches, schools and the Museum of the Gulf Coast, which has an exhibit devoted to the rock and blues singer. For the tour brochure, call 1-800-235-7822.
Is there more? Sure — below the fold. Summertime's a good time to make the tour — but so is spring, fall, and winter.

A couple of years ago, in the wake of thrillers with names like The Girl on the Train (Paula Hawkins) and The Woman in Cabin Ten (Ruth Ware), a new thriller appeared on the market and became an automatic best seller. It was The Woman in the Window by A.J. Flynn, a pseudonym for a man named Dan Mallory. Mallory was well known in the New York publishing circles, having worked as an editor in several of the large publishing houses and representing writers whose names those of us who read mysteries and thrillers would instantly recognize. This book soared up the best-seller lists. It's been optioned as a movie.
The New York Times has written a profile of Dan Mallory. Mallory, who is described by several people in the article as handsome and charming, presents himself as someone who has overcome great hardships in his life. His mother, who raised him by herself, died of cancer and Dan nursed her during her illness; his brother John also died; Mallory himself had a brain tumor and/or a spinal tumor that required surgery; recovering from the surgery, he had an allergic reaction to some meds and experienced cardiac arrest. He currently lives with a mental illness. Overcoming these trials, Mallory went on to get two doctorates from Oxford, and worked on many famous books and even some successful screenplays. That's what he says, anyway, or at least has said to various people at various times.
The New York Times reporter managed to interview both of Dan's parents; his father was not absent and his mother didn't seem to be very dead as she climbed out of her SUV in the family driveway, cradling a bag of groceries and refusing to be interviewed. The brother, who didn't seem to be very dead either, refused to be interviewed too. Co-workers of Mallory in New York remember getting emails from Dan's brother "Jake" while Dan was undergoing his surgery, and theoretically, according to friends and co-workers back in Britain, Jake would have already been dead by then.
There is no record that Mallory, who did attend Oxford, received any degree.
The tone of Ian Parker's article is slightly admiring; like, "Wow, can this guy lie, or what?" And, to be fair, this isn't the first time we've seen someone scam the publishing business, or academia, for their own financial advantage. Here's what struck me; the article takes the tone of a Reader's Digest "My Most Unforgettable Character" profile, rather than an exploration of what might be wrong with both academia and publishing, that these guys get jobs. In Mallory's case, Mallory professed a love and admiration of Tom Ripley, the character created by Patricia Highsmith. It's hard to resist the "talented Mr. Mallory" theme.
A couple of interesting points; not everyone was taken in by Mallory. Several co-workers told tales about how they doubted his stories. They even joked about it. No one confronted him, and it's obvious why. First of all, he was vicious when he didn't get his way, so people were wisely afraid of him. Secondly, the higher-ups who brought him in probably would not take kindly to being embarrassed by being confronted with the truth. There is some hint of this with the publisher he left, where there is a non-disclosure agreement, and the number of employers who declined to be interviewed.
But one point seems to be, if you're male, white and good-looking enough, no one will ever do a real background check on you. No one will ever email Oxford and ask if you completed a degree there. They will take you at your word.
(There is an infamous case of a white woman pretending to be a woman of color and scamming the Spokane, Washington branch of the NAACP. She didn't get a million dollar book/movie deal, though.)
I can't help imagining the raft of follow-up questions (read: grilling) a black man with cornrows would get at a publishing house when he said he had a degree from Oxford, or, for that matter, a woman would. I don't think it's an accident that most of these frauds are white and male. It could be true (I kind of hope it is,) that there are dozens of brilliant women scam artists making tidy fortunes in the publishing business and they just aren't as high-profile and rococo as Mallory. Honestly, however, I don't think that's the case.
Secondly, from the small sample of these cases I've read, these oh-so-clever hucksters are never clawing their way up from the working classes. Mallory was raised upper-middle-class, with two parents who did split up for a time when he was an adolescent (so the single-parent story is partially true). These lying men are invariably raised comfortably. I know we over-use the words "entitled" and "privileged" these days, but it really does seem that men like Mallory think they should just be able to have a degree from Oxford without having to do demeaning things like work for it. For them, the step from, "I wish I had an Oxford PhD," becomes, "I got my PhD at Oxford" in about the length of time it takes to draw a breath.
But, all of Mallory's engaging weirdness, and he is engaging, aside, don't these high-profile businesses and schools do any background check? Years ago when I still worked at the county, we had an applicant we wanted to hire, and he had to jump through extra hoops because the out-of-state college where he had completed his BA had changed its name. It was similar to the change in California, from "[NAME] State" to "California State University at [NAME]." We cleared it up to HR's satisfaction, but the position we were hiring him for didn't even require a degree in the first place, and they still made us (and really, him) provide proof that it existed and he had that degree.
I guess, seriously, publishing is not as important as the public trust, so who cares if someone's lying to you… but why don't you care? Why wouldn't you question the motives of someone who is lying to you from your very first meeting? And why, when these guys get uncovered, do they get even more attention lavished on them?
Patricia Highsmth's Ripley, at the end of the day, is fiction. Mallory, who will probably go on to sell at least one more book based on his notoriety, created a fictional persona which he passed off as real. Highsmith entered into an agreement with readers; we knew we were getting fiction. Mallory lied and tricked people. Somehow, if you're white and male, that's becoming more and more acceptable. Why?

Birds drifting down from the sky. Small bolts of lightning emerging from a woman's fingertips. A mother carrying her child across a darkened golf course, sinking further into the green with each step. Wagner, of course.
In Lars von Trier's stunning new movie "Melancholia," this is one strangely beautiful way the world could end.
I never would have guessed that I would call any von Trier movie stunning, except in the bludgeoned sense. I hate the way his movies victimize women, the way the camera and director seem to revel in their suffering and assume that audiences will do the same. I hate that his movies suggest everyone is either weak or evil at the core. I hate his films' violence and coldness. It's more than disagreeing with his worldview: in the past, his world has not been a place that I recognized.
But I recognized "Melancholia," as Justine (Kirsten Dunst) recognizes the big, blue planet heading speedily toward earth as part of a truth she's always known.
"Melancholia" is divided into two parts. In the first, we watch Justine succumb to depression on her wedding day. At the beginning of the movie she's luminous in her updo and sweeping dress, laughing at the stretch limo that can't make it uphill to the reception, beaming at her sweet but limited new husband (Alexander Skarsgard, playing amnesia Eric for all intents and purposes). But as her terrifying mother, selfish father, and power-hungry boss reveal their worst selves at the party, Justine's spirits stumble and flag.
Her sensible, stern sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg), trying to salvage the evening and the marriage, reminds Justine that they agreed she wouldn't make a scene. But you can hardly blame Justine for losing heart when all the people around her seem alternately oblivious and cruel. Meanwhile Justine is a kind of prophet, spotting a strange new light in the sky before anyone else. She can see Melancholia—the planet and the state of mind—coming on.
The second half of the movie, set an undetermined period of time after the wedding, is named after Claire. Truthfully, though, it's about both sisters and their contrasting responses to the apocalypse. Claire, coming from a place very much rooted in earthly attachments—to her husband and son, to her sister, to wine and music on the terrace—falls apart as Melancholia nears. But as the end of the world approaches, Justine emerges from the depths of a crippling depression. She believes the earth will not survive Melancholia, and she refuses to mourn its passing. Nor is she receptive to comforting thoughts meant to soften the truth. Fixing a trembling Claire with a level gaze, Justine announces: "Life is only on earth. And not for long."
There is something admirable about the strength Justine gains in the face of the apocalypse. It's painful, in earlier scenes, to watch her destroyed by depression and dumbstruck by pain. The film acutely captures how clinical depression feels, both for the person experiencing it and for the worried, frustrated loved ones who don't know how to help. And so it's a relief to watch Justine come alive again—if only because she knows that life is almost over. In a strikingly beautiful scene, Justine lies naked on the riverbank, bathing in the light of Melancholia. Her depression has prepared her to accept the fate of the earth, and even welcome it. "Life on earth is evil," she tells Claire. "No one will miss it."
Between her mother, father, and boss, one can understand why Justine would feel that way. But what of the frayed but loyal Claire and Justine's sweet nephew Leo? They're certainly not evil, and although the film seems to side with Justine's courageous nihilism it also shows the hard-heartedness that accompanies it. Justine refuses to console her panicking sister, whose despair can hardly be faulted, and barely seems to notice when her brother-in-law disappears. It's only when Leo confesses toward the end of the film that he's afraid of Melancholia that some measure of compassion is awakened in Justine. For all but the last few minutes of the movie, she can only occupy two points of view. Either she's miserably trapped within herself or she is above human concerns, and therefore above human connections too.
As glorious as Justine's steely readiness appears, I know that I'd be more like Claire if the world were about to end: frightened, desperate, trying to prevent the people I loved from slipping away. Claire's not the movie's favorite, but she is its human ambassador.
A part of what makes "Melancholia" recognizable to me in ways von Trier's previous movies haven't been is that it swaps out the usual destruction of a woman for the destruction of the entire earth. Perhaps oddly, the substitution feels less cruel. Rather than weakening Justine, Melancholia (the movie and the planet) prompts her to become a kind of superhero–one who's not out to save the world, but let it go.
"Melancholia" is grand on every level, daring to risk the bombastic. I love to see anybody go big, and the terrible, riveting final minutes of the film in particular absolutely sweep the audience away. At the screening I saw, the credits of the movie were greeted with low laughter and scattered claps. I think those reactions weren't so much about the movie itself as they were about bringing the audience back to earth. We'd just watched everything end, and we needed to make some noise to remind ourselves that we're still around. For now.

Hannes was born in Roskilde, Denmark, where his mom was for her work, he didn't get the danish nationality though, cause a few days after he was born he moved to his grandpa who lived in the woods near munich, where his mom was born aswell. His family was really religious, so his mom wasn't happy when she got a kid with a stranger without being married to said person, hannes being a bastard kid , causing her to pretty much ignore the kid, not wanting to face her mistakes, while his grandpa and grandmother did except him, cause they are amazing. So he basically grew up with his grandma and grandpa cause his mom stayed in denmark. However, after his grandma died when he was 5 his mom couldn't hide in denmark anylonger and had to move to münchen aswell. It was at this point that hannes found out more about his mystery dad that had never been there cause he wasn't really allowed to ask about him. But he did find out that he had an older half brother in austria, and that he was half austrian. So what did this not so smart young boy? he began to send letter's and didn't stop, even though he never got one back. So he now lived with his grandpa and mom, even though his mom never paid much attention to the boy. Hannes would get into a lot of fights at school, just to get the attention, but eventually began to understand that he wouldn't get it, instead he just got in trouble and his grandpa would get mad evertytime, while his mom pretty much ignored it. When he was 9 the door scene happened ( fu guys ain't gonna type it out)¨. when he was 12 he and his grandpa would go out hunting a lot which is the best time of his life yet, until he was 14 and was too stubborn to listen his grandpa and shot two wolf pups, only to be bitten by their mom later, luckily his dogs were there to help him out. this event caused him to lose his thumb and his arm is now scarred. His grandpa was furious and basically dragged him through the forest. This was also the age where he stopped writing letter ..cause they never arrived. And his grandpa died when he was 14, so his mom had to take care of him now..yay. They moved a lot from appartmnt to appartment within munich and berlin. This was the moment from which hannes began to care about rules and laws, cause it was the only things that stayed the same andnever changed. He had to give away his dogs aswell cause his mom didn't want them. When he turned 15 his mom finally found an man who she would marry later. His name was Bjørn Anderson, a norwegian man who worked and lifed in munich, he had two kids, kaj and lykke, kaj is someone u can hate btw, just hate him alright he sucked. Anyways so they moved again and lived together, hannes got a dog again, as a present from his now stephdad, who was kind and fun, but also away a lot cause of his work. Kaj used to be a dick towards him, and if hannes said something back it was his fault and he was the one who got punished, while it wasn't his fault, luckily lykke was kind, just like her dad. So now he was 16 and one day he was just cooking when he accidentally kncked over oil, and his temprature rose cause he was mad cause it ruined his food, so the oil on his hands burned, and he was scared and that's how he burned down the kitchen. His mom and stephdad just came home and in his panic he accidentally burned his mom a bit, so what did the genius boy do? he ran to his room and didn't get out, not wanting to face his scared and angry mom. Until a man came, called mister de jong, there to destroy his life, he offered him a place in westwood, a school for people like him, so he 'kindly' declined the offer and then he suddenly woke up at westwood he was panicking until it was time for the football match and he suddenly was calm again, turns out one of the teachers there was his older half brother who had ignored him for like 7 years or something idk you do the math. so months went by and then sof came into his life who is weird, together they folowed the principal, cause rules. He accidentally killed a girl who didn't follow the rules and was killing people wwithout knowing he did, not knowing what the principal did to the unfortynate peeps. Eventually he realized that what he did was fucked up and he got arrested and conviced for two months..yay. And began to question the rules, causing him to get depressed cause of all his guilt. He got out of jail and became 'friends' with the wrong people and began drinking, a lot...and that's kinda where we are rn, stay tuned for the next chapter of his life called " the uck am i doing with my life why am i still working on this sheet wtf sanne, get a life'

Following the concerns that have been raised regarding a proposed takeover of GKN by Melrose, I have written to Unite's Assistant General Secretary asking him to notify any workers at the local Filton site of my offer to meet with them so that I relay their views to the Government.
I will be working closely with my colleagues who have a GKN presence in their constituencies to ensure that the rights of workers are not undermined and that employees have the opportunity to pass on their views to Ministers.
For constituents who would like to talk about the reported proposals, please contact me on 01454 617 783, or via my email on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Does It Make Sense for Clients to Combine Term and Permanent Life Insurance Coverage?
When offering life insurance to clients, oftentimes the sales presentation will take an "either / or" approach as it pertains to purchasing term or permanent coverage. But in some cases, an individual may actually have reason to combine the features of both types of coverage in order to protect certain needs.
For example, life insurance policy holders who have permanent coverage that is combined with a term policy will have a higher amount of death benefit protection for their premium dollar than if they had purchased only a permanent policy of the same amount. Plus, they will still be able to up a substantial, and guaranteed, amount of cash value over time.
If the insured becomes disabled and in turn, unable to pay their premiums for the permanent life policy, he or she may be able to draw upon their cash value for making the additional premium payments and keeping the policy in force. They may also be able to use the cash for emergencies, debt payoff, and / or for supplementing retirement income in the future.
Therefore, combining the different types of life insurance coverage can really allow policy holders to put more of an emphasis on either the accumulation or the protection aspects of their given policies.
Business owners may also be able to benefit from combining term life insurance coverage with a permanent type of policy. Having both types of coverage could help to provide both security and value in various types of business situations. This could include using one or both policies as a funding mechanism for a key person arrangement, a buy-sell agreement, or a split dollar type of retirement savings plan.
With that in mind, having both term life insurance and permanent coverage can also allow business owners – especially those who own small businesses – with the extra flexibility in meeting their unique life insurance coverage needs.
So, depending upon the situation of the specific business owner or partner, combining policies may be used for a variety of situations where there is a business need for funds following the death of the policy holder.
Ensuring the Right Type and Amount of Life Insurance Protection
It will require some planning in order to set up a "combination" life insurance plan. For instance, the type of policy – as well as the length of time that this coverage will stay in force – will depend upon the individual factors and needs of the policy holder.
As an example, for shorter term needs, a term life insurance policy with a duration of five or ten years may be sufficient. However, for those with longer term needs, a term life insurance policy with a duration of anywhere between fifteen and thirty years may provide for a better solution.
Likewise, the client will also need to determine the amount of coverage that is needed for paying off debts, and / or for providing income to survivors. In this case, it is important to factor in future inflation and how it could impact the future needs of survivors, too.
Finding Good Quality Life Insurance Prospects
Regardless of the type of life insurance protection that is needed, you have to have good, quality prospects who have a need for coverage, as well as the ability and willingness to pay for it, before any type of sale can be made.
If you want to generate a consistent and predictable flow of additional leads for life insurance sales – in turn, providing you with the opportunity to earn thousands of additional commission dollars per month – give us a call at and we will provide you with all of the information you need to for getting started.

I'm probably a little behind the times on this, but it's what is inspiring me today. I wanted to wear this season's navy nails and give a subtle nod to the nail art trend, so I bought this blue magnetic by Barry M. It's a real learning curve ("why are your nails all gothy?" asked Him Indoors) and my nails are nowhere near as neat and defined as in this pic, but I aim to keep trying until I get it right.
This is a pretty useful blog about it, if nails are your thing.

Manic Flight Reaction
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Written by
Sarah Schulman
Directed by Trip Cullman
Faced with the exposure of her past liaison with the wife of the leading presidential candidate, an idealistic professor finds herself in the crosshairs of scrutiny from both tabloid press and her college-aged daughter. Manic Flight Reaction is a razor edged comedy about abandonment, the intrusion of mass market media, and the need for faith in goodness, despite the odds.

From George Washington to William Pearce, 21 September 1794
To William Pearce
Philadelphia Sep. 21st 1794.
Mr Pearce,
Your letter of the 14th instt and the weekly reports, have been recd.1
We left our Quarters at German Town yesterday, and are again fixed in this City.
Thomas Green's quitting my business of his own accord—whatever the pretence may be—is in my opinion a lucky circumstance, as my repugnance to turning him away was on account of his helpless family. These you may suffer to remain where they are, until he can provide a place for them; or until you may have occasion for the house for his successor; provided this is not unreasonably delayed. Old Bishop must be taken care of whether he goes or stays.2
It would be well that you should be off—or on with Pyne without more delay;3 first because the season for providing Overseers is getting late; and 2dly because he may have found employment, or received offers in the federal City (where wages are high) of such a nature as to raise his expectations above what the services you want him for, would enable me to give.
What have you done with McKoy? Does he go, or stay another year? and what are the present appearances of the stone quarry at Mount Vernon? Last year, a Nephew of mine living in Westmoreland County, about 70 miles below you; had partly engaged a man (who was master of two or three Negro Carpenters of his own, which he was to bring with him) to look after my Carpenters; but the unwillingness, on acct of Greens family, to turn him away, prevented it. This objection being removed, the enclosed letter, left open for your perusal, may be forwarded, or destroyed, according to circumstances at the time you receive it;4 as you will best know what steps you have taken, & your prospect of succeeding, to supply the place of Green with a competent character by other means.
I am glad to find by your last letter that the several Crops which are now on the ground look as well as could reasonably be expected. It is, and has been, much my wish to make a visit to Mount Vernon before the meeting of Congress, on the first monday in Novemr;5 and I assuredly should have done it, had it not been for the Insurrection in the Western counties of this State—which, for ought I know to the contrary, at present may, instead of it, make it necessary for me to move that way.6 The state of things at this moment does not, however enable me to decide on either movement with precision. One thing certain, is, that if I am not at Mount Vernon before the 15th of October, it is not within the bounds of probability that I shall, before the Spring, be at that place; as public business will compel me to be at the Seat of Government (in this City) before the first of November (a few days before the Meeting of Congress).
Mrs Fanny Washington has requested leave for her Overseer Tayler to get as many boards from my land in the neck, or else where, as will cover a Corn house at her Plantation, wch it is deemed necessary to erect; this you may permit, without waste, to be done by her own Carpenters, without any aid of mine.7
Mrs Washington requests that the Gardener would send her some Artichoke seed of the best kind he has, and by the first Post under cover to me. I remain your friend and well wisher
Go: Washington
ALS, ViMtvL; ALS (letterpress copy), DLC:GW.
1. Neither William Pearce's letter nor the reports have been found.
2. Thomas Bishop, formerly GW's personal servant, was the father of Green's wife, Sarah.
3. For the status of Henry Pyne's application to become an overseer at Mount Vernon, see GW to Pearce, 7 September.
4. See GW to William Augustine Washington, this date. For William A. Washington's earlier engagement of a carpenter, see his letter to GW of 3 Sept. 1793, and GW's letter to him of 21 Oct. 1793.
5. The first Monday in November was the third of the month.
6. GW initially completed this sentence with the phrase "instead of going to Mount Vernon," but he struck out that text.

FRIDAY, July 19, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Giving U.S. female military veterans a year's supply of birth control pills would reduce their risk of unwanted pregnancies and lower health care costs, a new study finds.
The researchers also found that the health care cost savings would more than outweigh the expense of providing birth control pills in larger quantities.
Specifically, among the approximately 24,000 women receiving birth control pills from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), offering a year's supply of pills would prevent 583 unintended pregnancies and save the agency about $2 million a year in prenatal, birth and newborn care costs.
Currently, the VA doesn't offer the option of dispensing a 12-month supply, but 17 states and the District of Columbia laws require insurers to cover a year's supply of contraceptives.
"Medication dispensing limits are thought to be cost-saving because you're not wasting pills and medicines that people aren't going to use," said lead author Dr. Colleen Judge-Golden, from the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine.
"Our analysis shows that concerns about wastage of contraceptive pills are overshadowed by the potential consequences of missed refills, and especially of unintended pregnancies," Judge-Golden said in a university news release.
VA data shows that 43% of female veterans who receive three-month increments of birth control pills have at least one gap between refills over the course of a year of use.
Women outside the VA who get a year's worth of birth control pills at a time have fewer gaps and fewer unintended pregnancies, according to the study authors.
"We see extended contraceptive dispensing as a win-win, promoting women's health and women's autonomy to use birth control as they decide, while also being economically sustainable for the VA," Judge-Golden said.
The study was published recently in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Women who want to get rid of the common condition known as cellulite can do so with cosmetic procedures.
Life isn't fair, especially when it comes to the condition known as cellulite. Although it is rare to find cellulite on men, up to 90 percent of women suffer from cellulite.
Cellulite, which resembles the unevenness of cottage cheese, are ripples in the skin found mainly on the thighs and the buttocks. The condition is due to a variety of causes including hormones, genetics, aging and more. Cellulite forms when collagen and elastin break down and fat becomes trapped in the lower dermis area of the skin.
Women who have always been thin may be surprised that they now have cellulite. It is a myth that only overweight women suffer from cellulite. You don't have to be overweight to have the condition. Many females, who did not have cellulite before, are seeing it now, especially as they enter middle age.
Many people consider cellulite unsightly. Indeed, celebrity women never want to be shown exhibiting cellulite. In fact, it is common for celebrity photos to be retouched in order to hide cellulite. Clothing that is revealing such as bathing suits, short skirts and short dresses are a problem for those women who do not want to reveal their cellulite to the world.
In addition to a good diet and plenty of exercise, which are always recommended to reduce cellulite, today the embarrassment of cellulite can be reduced with the help of advanced cosmetic procedures.
What procedure will be best for you? You should consult with a doctor to determine the best cosmetic procedure to remove your cellulite. A top, qualified facility led by an experienced doctor will offer you a private consultation to review your condition and come up with the best therapy, without a cookie cutter approach. For example, Trans Dermal Acoustic Therapy, offered at Epione Beverly Hills, may provide results after three weeks without downtime. Patients may see a significant reduction in the appearance of cellulite will occur, ending the embarrassment of a "cottage cheese" appearance.
