Skin Conditions
Why see a Board Certified dermatologist?
Board Certified Dermatologists are nationally accredited skin experts. Dr. Evans is a Board Certified Dermatologist which means she has successfully completed the following:
- Four years of Vassar College earning a bachelor's degree
- Four years of Medical School at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine
- One year of Internal Medicine Internship at Emory School of Medicine
- Three years of ACGME approved dermatology residency at Emory University School of Medicine,
- One year of ACGME approved Mohs Surgery Fellowship
- Became licensed by Medical Board of California to practice medicine
- Passed the American Board of Dermatology National Board Exam which tests doctor's knowledge, experience, and skills.
This means that she has had thirteen years of training before she ever looked at your skin. This intense preparation is essential to provide you the quality patient care your skin deserves.
Skin Conditions Dr. Evans can treat when you become her patient:
Uneven Skin Tone & Pigmentation Issues
Dyschromia: Multiple, usually brown, grey, tan and black colors on the skin that lead to the appearance of uneven or multicolored skin.
Lentigos: Brown spots on the skin usually due to sun exposure over time.
Melasma: Brown colored areas on the skin of the face that are most often distributed in a symmetrical way, such as over both cheeks. These dark areas are frequently due to the hormonal changes that surround the use of hormonal therapies, oral contraceptive pills, pregnancy and other changes in the body.
Treatments: Multiple treatments exist to treat the above conditions. These treatments include various laser treatments, skin peels, prescription medications, and cosmeceutical products. Dr. Evans will prescribe the best treatment protocol to fit your individual needs.
Acne is the term for the blocked pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples,and deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that can appear typically on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Seventeen million Americans currently have acne, making it the most common skin disease in the country. While it affects mostly teenagers, and almost all teenagers have some form of acne, adults of any age can have it. Acne is not life-threatening, but it can cause physical disfigurement (scarring) and emotional distress.
Sebaceous glands are attached to hair follicles in the skin on the face, neck, back and chest. They produce an oily substance called sebum, which normally reaches the skin surface through the opening of the follicle (pore). When follicles become plugged, sebum cannot reach the surface of the skin. This blocked sebum promotes the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes) beneath the skin, which in turn produce chemicals and enzymes that attract white blood cells, causing inflammation. Eventually the follicle wall breaks down and the sebum, skin cells and bacteria erupt to form lesions or pimples. These are the visible effects of acne.
*Treatment for acne varies depending on the type and severity of lesions, skin type and the patient's age and lifestyle; on average results are visible in six to eight weeks. Please be informed that individual results may vary on a case by case basis. Options include:
- Laser resurfacing
- Soft tissue fillers and fat transfer
- Subcision for rolling and boxcar scars
- Punch excisional surgery for deep "ice-pick" pitted scarring
- Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion
Eczema is a group of inflamed skin conditions that result in chronic itchy rashes. About 15 million people in the U.S. suffer from some form of eczema, including 10-20 percent of all infants. Symptoms vary from person to person but often include dry, red, itchy patches on the skin which break out in rashes when scratched.
Objects and conditions that trigger itchy eczema outbreaks may include rough or coarse materials touching the skin, excessive heat or sweating, soaps, detergents, disinfectants, certain foods, dust mites, animal saliva and danders, upper respiratory infections and stress.
Treatment involves medications and special intensive moisture rich plans to soothe and treat this skin condition.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that cause scaling and crusting of the skin. Some patients experience itching and/or burning of their skin. Over seven million men and women in the U.S. of all ages have some form of psoriasis, which may be mild, moderate or severe. The most commonly affected areas are the scalp, elbows, knees, hands, feet and genitals.
Psoriasis cannot be cured but it can be treated successfully, sometimes for months or years at a time. Treatment depends on the type, severity and location of psoriasis. The patient's age, medical history and life may also have a significant impact on the methods utilized. The most common treatments are topical medications, phototherapy, oral and injectable medication.
Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that affects over 14 million Americans, many of whom are unaware that they have the condition. Rosacea appears on the skin of the face as areas of redness and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps similar to acne. This condition of the skin can affect a patient's confidence and self-esteem. There are several treatments available to relieve symptoms and prevent flare ups of rosacea.
While there is no cure for rosacea, there are several treatments available to help control symptoms and allow patients to enjoy their lives without constantly worrying about the appearance of their skin. The most effective treatment for rosacea depends on each patient's individual case, but usually includes a combination of prescription treatment and laser therapy.
The symptoms of rosacea can be reduced by wearing sunscreen the right kind of sunscreen and providing gentle but thorough care for your skin. Treatments of the skin with lasers is one of the best ways to improve the redness of the skin and give you the great skin you deserve.
Age spots, sometimes called "liver spots", are flat brown patches on the skin that have darkened in color "pigmented" after exposure to sunlight and time. They are can be found on any area of the body but are commonly found on areas of skin that are frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, hands, and arms.
There are many ways to treat age spots including prescription medications, lightening serums, peels and laser therapy.
A rash is a change in the skin's color or texture. Simple rashes are called dermatitis, which means the skin is inflamed or swollen. Other common rashes include eczema, psoriasis, impetigo, shingles, chicken pox, measles, scarlet fever, insect bites and those caused by medical conditions such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
A dermatologist is usually able to identify the rash by looking at it and asking about accompanying symptoms. Rashes can often be treated with special moisturizing creams, prescription medications or more extensive treatments.
Moles and other birthmarks are benign pigmented spots or patches of skin that range in color from tan, brown and black (moles) to red, pink or purple (vascular lesions, such as strawberry hemangiomas or port wine stains). Though some birthmarks are not dangerous, they may develop into cancer. Moles (also called Nevi) that exhibit any of the following warning signs should be examined by a dermatologist immediately:
- Larger than six millimeters.
- Itches or bleeds.
- Rapidly changes in color, size or shape.
- Has multiple colors.
- Is located where it can't be easily monitored, such as on the scalp.
Depending on their depth, location and color, as well as the patient's skin type, age and other factors, treatment for benign but unattractive birthmarks may take the form of laser or pulsed light therapy, microdermabrasion or surgical excision.
Warts are skin growths caused by viruses. Different warts respond to varied and multiple treatments including: salicylic acid products, liquid nitrogen freezing or electrical stimulation. Surgery may be recommended for painful or large warts that do not respond to these treatments.
Sun damage can affect any area of your skin as a result of exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Sun damage may lead to sun spots, age spots, rough skin and wrinkles. Sun exposure can also lead to premature aging and skin cancer.
The best treatment against sun damage is preventing it from occurring in the first place. It is important to wear the right type of high-quality sunscreen lotion on a daily basis. While some wrinkles on the skin need to be treated with BOTOX® and fillers, most existing sun damage can be treated through skin procedures like specialized serums, prescription medications, chemical peels, and laser therapy.

Research & Discovery
Call 720.482.7954
By Erik Hofstetter
CEO Creative Visions
What are you looking at and what got you here? Your eyes. What got your eyes here is what we call the eye trail. There are certain visual cues that attract your attention and maintain your interest long enough so a message can be delivered. This is not done just with words, more importantly it is done by thoughtful graphic design.
To be effective, graphic design must first attract your attention. In today's competitive advertising environment, you only have a fraction of a second to bust through the clutter to attract your potential target audience's attention. Think of this step as a big red stop sign. Some advertisers think that a sexy girl will always do the trick, but quite frankly this approach can be a cop out. The true way to attract your target audiences' attention is to know what they have affinity for and place it as a stop sign in your design. For instance, if you wanted to sell prescription sunglasses to men and your
indicated that the majority of your target audience had an affinity for golf, placing an image of a golf ball at the top of your design might work as a good stop sign to attract their attention.
Now the trick is to hold their interest. Once the eyes stop on the golf ball, where does it go? Well you better have something in the layout which points them into your layout or their eyes will drift elsewhere. If
shows that the most important thing your target audience wants from prescription sunglasses is for them to be scratch-resistant, then a headline placed under the golf ball with the words "scratch-resistant" should be included. An eye trail could be created by adding a motion line from the golf ball to the headline. Interest held.
The last part of effective design, which is quite often skipped because of designer's egos, is to deliver the message. Using our prescription sunglass layout analogy, now that you have the attention of your audience, it is up to you to tell them what to do – they want to know! After the headline, show them a picture of the sunglasses positioned in such a way as to lead the eye from the headline to the picture and downward into informational copy that may describe an offer or money-back guarantee. This copy should close with a call to action so the viewer of the layout now knows what to do.
So often designs are created in advertising for the sake of design. At Creative Visions we don't create designs that we "feel" good about – we create designs that are effective because they include the three key elements; attract, interest and deliver the message - with an eye-trail that leads the viewer through these.

Northern Cyprus (北キプロス)Nation's name: Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
Capital: Nicosia
Language: Turkish
Birthday: November 15th
National flower: N/A
Height: Unknown
Age: Unknown
A small de facto state located literally in northern Cyrpus. His official name is "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," but in fandom, he's known as simply "Northern Cyprus" or "TRNC."
His older brother is Cyprus, who is a separate character in the Hetalia series (a common fan-misunderstanding). They seem to get along rather well, and in the Hetalia drama CD, they talk about unifying to make one country, but no answer was ever decided on. Currently, Northern Cyprus is trying to convince Cyprus to become friends with Turkey instead of Greece.
Greece does not like Northern Cyprus despite his close friendship with Cyprus. He once said that he'd disown Cyprus if he didn't cut off all ties with Northern Cyprus.
He also appears to dislike Sealand, seeing him as a rival of some sort.
He's depicted as a small child, and cannot "grow up" because he is not recognized as an official country by anyone in the world besides Turkey. For this, he respects and looks up to Turkey, going so far as to dress like him.
His personality is rather serious, and he appears to be stern and quiet. He speaks in a monotone voice, and is quite proud.

Last weekend we took a quick trip down to Las Vegas for Regan's dad's retirement party. It was so nice to get out of the cloudy, smoggy, cold weather, and be somewhere you could actually be outside for more than a minute. I love getting together with his family. They are great.
I do have to say, I do have one complaint for the weekend. I know its not that serious, but it's mine. CORDS AND CHARGERS. I hate 'em. If I heard one more time, "Mom, do you know where my charger is?" I was going to kill myself.
Let me share the inventory with you: (keep in mind, we were gone away from our home for less than 48 hours)
-3 phones with their accompanied chargers
-3 ipods with one computer chargers and one wall charger,
-3 sets of headphones (more cords)
-2 Nintendo DS's with one wall charger and one car charger
-1 laptop with charger
-2 cameras, one charger
-1 aux cord to hook ipod to car stereo
-1 dual headphone port (so 2 can watch the 2" movie on the ipod)
More and more cords. Everywhere I looked there where cords. And every child was looking for his or her cord.
I obviously have issues.
I took this picture after unloading "the backpack".
* It does not include any of Madi's cords. I guess she likes to keep hers separate.

One of the reasons why my blogging has been hit and miss recently is the frustration I feel when taking photos of my projects at the end of the day in poor light. As some of you may know, I have been reorganising my home recently to make room for my new tenant. After moving stuff around, I'm really happy to tell you that I've managed to squeeze in a photo studio in my garage!
I even purchased a photography light tent and lamps to help find my photography mojo! The light tent is huge! It's an 80cm cube and look how small Perry looks in it.
Here are some photos I've taken while playing with my new setup for the first time. Can you see the difference in lighting on Perry?
I also took photos of some llama roving and a very yummylicious sock yarn. By the way, fibre is very boring to photograph! Haha…
What do you think? Not bad eh? 🙂
If you have been tempted to get your own light tent and lamps kit, I bought mine from this Aussie eBay seller. I thought it was a reasonable price, good quality and cheap postage for such a bulky item.
There are some really cool, detailed tutorials around the web to make your own light tent too. Here are my top 3 favourites:
1. How to make an inexpensive light tent via Digital Photography School
2. PVC light box/ light tent via Make
3. DIY collapsible light tent via JPG
My photography mojo is officially back! I have more photos to share with you next week. Until then, hope you have a bright week!
Looks fantastic! I can't wait till I can afford to buy or make one!
Here is another tutorial I found awhile back that I saved:
I'm looking forward to more photos. =]
Great idea! I know what you mean about the crappy end of day photos – I have a few of them myself. I try to save them all up for a sunny day. But then I find myself drawn out into the beautiful weather and the photo's get forgotten!!
Looking forward to seeing more of your photo tent pictures!!
.-= aeonie´s last blog ..Army Mans Birthday =-.
Thank you for this demonstration. and for the links. I really appreciate. This will help me to get beautiful picture.
have a nice day!
Fantastic!! a lightbox is brilliant for great photos, I keep meaning to make one so I'm not so dependant on the sunshine. 🙂
Looks great! You can absolutely see a difference and it means you can feel a little more consistant with your photos – I'm the same, but just got a new camera which I think will help my cause! 😀
.-= Katie´s last blog ..My New Toy! =-.
I feel very frustrated when I take pictures of my handmade items, I also try to edit them with Photoshop but most of them remain awful. This is a nice idea, I would like to have a photo-mojo too, but at the moment it is not possible since I am moving in two weeks!
By the way, Perry is really sweet!!! 🙂
.-= Momo´s last blog ..Laptop sleeve- an easy tutorial =-.
Hooray for getting your photography mojo back! Your photos look great. I also have a light box and find it to be very helpful. However, like you, I find that it's huge so I don't pull it out as often as I'd like. Now I will! Thanks!
.-= T of Balkan Style Bloggers´s last blog ..Souvenir Shopping =-.
Hey Salihan, that light tent looks really good , well done – really brings out the Perry's details ! I'm tempted : )

If you are planning to renovate your kitchen or maybe you are still making plans for your soon to be home, then be sure to also prioritize your bench tops. Bench tops are one of the first things that will be noticed in a typical kitchen being it is also one of the most prominent fixtures. You can hardly see a kitchen without a benchtop no matter how narrow a kitchen can be as it is an area where preparations will be done. Aside from the obvious function, a kitchen benchtop can also enhance the look of your kitchen. In fact, even if your kitchen will just look simple but with uniform benchtops, it will already look elegant. Good thing though that there are now more options when it comes to these fixtures like in colors, materials and designs thus you can easily fit them to the other fixtures of your kitchen.
So, what will be your considerations when choosing the type of benchtop to incorporate? Is it the price, functions, or maybe its looks? Whatever aspect that you will prioritize, you should give it a deep thought so that you will not just be wasting your money. You might want to refer to these ideas below:
– Let's face it, unless you are well off, then this might not apply to you, but for those who do not have that much budget for bench tops, be realistic and narrow your choice by listing only your available options or only the options that your budget can afford. Take note that the bench tops though quite important is just one aspect of your entire home or your kitchen renovation. Besides, there are also a lot of more affordable stone benchtops in Perth.
– Then after you already established your realistic options, that's when you can start choosing considering other features like the style, the texture and the color. One thing you should consider is that your benchtop should go well with the other fixture of your kitchen like the cabinets, your splashbacks, though this can be done later when you are already done with your benchtops. The bottom line here is the fixtures in your kitchen should be considered in such a way that your kitchen will look like one set and will not look like a warehouse.
– Next is the maintenance. Since most of us these days have endless things to do every day, you should choose a material that will be easy to maintain like stone bench tops for example though this is quite expensive. However, if you are willing to invest in this, then why not! After all, your money will be well compensated as stone benchtops are really durable and can last for decades. You can also hire a cleaning service to clean your kitchen if you're too busy.
Just to make sure that your kitchen will indeed look good, try checking out some home magazines or you can also hire experts to assist you in your kitchen renovation. Take note that it will be more expensive to do a renovation than right away incorporating what you want.

I'm trying to lose some weight at the moment. Not that I am overweight, but I'd just like pants to fit with a little less muffin-top around the waist, and perhaps partly out of some vanity over the fact that I know with my gym routine there are some pretty good abs under there somewhere; I just can't see them.
None of that is important for this post though.
I weigh myself every day as part of my routine: wake, shower, weigh, dress. It's something I read somewhere some time ago; the only way to lose weight consistently is to create a feedback loop and graph your progress. And to not panic with fluctuations.
Over my recent Melbourne trip I could have easily panicked; as you can see above, there is a measurement gap while I was in Melbourne (packing scales is too OCD even for me). And… a jump.
I weighed 86.3kg the Tuesday morning before flying to Melbourne. I weighed 88.0kg the Friday evening after returning home. I could have easily panicked and chocolated away my sorrows. But this Sunday morning, I was back to 86.3kg.
There are many factors that'll go into a jump like that; morning vs. evening… mornings are always lighter than evenings. I prefer the mornings because it seems to me that should be the most reliable moment because I will never have eaten just before weighing. Other fun fact: you lose somewhere around 200-300g overnight through breathing in O2 and breathing out CO2 with water vapour.
The biggest reason not to panic though is that from day-to-day you'll eat completely different things. And food weight has very little to do with long-term body weight.
Losing weight is about tracking kJ (calories) in the food you eat vs. about 8700kJ/day burned for the average adult. The labelling of food with kJ numbers here in Australia has been helpful in changing some habits already; that delicious Pecan Pie I used to occasionally get at Michel's Patisserie accounts for about 5000kJ all on its own while a just-as-filling (to me) sausage roll is under 2000kJ.
And this morning, with my weight returning to normal, that got me thinking…
How do the calorie content and weight of foods relate?
Most sites with comprehensive food databases only return numbers in calories, alas the world of food skews non-metric. But, the Calorie King website is one of the few exceptions as far as I can tell.
After using their handy calculator to put in 100g to get comparable measurements, I arrived at the following information:
- Snickers = 2090 kJ
- Pistachios = 2328 kJ
- White Sugar = 1618 kJ
- White Rice = 543 kJ
- White Bread = 1108 kJ
On the whole, the numbers were a lot closer than I expected. And I was more than a little surprised by the number for white sugar. Surely sugar would be jumping way off the scales (pardon the pun) for energy rich-ness?!
After some thinking, it occurred to me that measuring by 100g is probably not the most useful way to think of this when trying to make decisions about what to eat when you want to lose weight.
What is probably much more relevant is how full food makes you feel. Being hungry is only very loosely related to energy intake. Being hungry has more to do with volume.
Some more research later, I found a handy table on The Metric Kitchen (look under heading "Other non-liquid ingredients") that illustrates the point well. For 1 cup of volume, the weights of various ingredients vary from 60g all the way up to 300g (I don't usually eat table salt by the cup though).
So, another round of lookups on Calorie King later, and the same list of ingredients translates to the following:
- Snickers = 3360 kJ (my estimate based on 3 bars fitting into a cup)
- Pistachios = 2864 kJ
- White Sugar = 3235 kJ
- White Rice = 859 kJ
- White Bread = 499 kJ
I think that looks a lot more likely; although a normal chocolate bar at around 1000kJ is about the same amount of energy as a slice of bread, the bread will be a lot more filling for the same amount of energy consumed. Or put another way: if you eat till you feel full, you'll need many more chocolate bars than slices of bread.
I also found the flip-around that bread and rice do interesting; by weight bread is twice as energy-rich as rice, but by volume it is almost exactly the other way around.
Anyway, the point I was trying to get to before I failed miserably to stay on track with my rambling narrative is that to gain 1kg of body fat from the calories contained, you'd have to eat over 2.5kg of steak. So, if you gain 1kg over the course of eating a steak dinner, no more than about 350g will stay with you (I'm trying to avoid being explicit here, so think this through to your own level of comfort).
Which means that while I was in Melbourne, probably eating more extensive meals through unhealthy hit-and-run lunches and wine-and-dine with colleagues in the evening than I normally do at home, it looked like I gained almost 2kg, but most of that was only temporary added weight.
The best thing to do is to weigh regularly, disregard the bumps and jumps, and plot a graph so you can see the long-term trend matches your goals. There will be heavy days, and there will be light days. Just breathe and keep going. I rely on the graph my free FitBit account keeps for me (see first image above), but there are many more Android/iOS tools that can easily do the same job with minimal effort once you set up a weighing routine.
And that's the end of my rant I think.
I hope this was an entertaining read, regardless of whether the subject-matter does anything for you.
Also, the pictures for this post came out really well I think. Tripod and shutter-timed shots to get nice sharp images. It seems even when I'm not writing about photography, I still end up writing about photography. 😉

a well-behaved rebel
20 comments:
what a wonderful post! thank you for the insight into you as a person -ReplyDelete
the attic papers are just beautiful!Replies
Lovely to have you here, Mary Jane, thanks for commenting. And how great that you like my shop! I've been building it for months, maybe it is time to roll up the shutters :)Delete
Hi Ersi- I'm sorry that you find yourself in the middle of a work dilemma. Know that I am pulling for the rebel! Your selection of attic papers is quite lovely. If you're ready to launch...I say "go for it"! People are going on vacation all the time...but most of us stay connected to the internet all the time too. At first I was thinking the end of the summer...but then I thought people start to get so distracted with kids going back to school etc. Maybe launching mid-summer would be a good thing. --I had to laugh at some of those "angry" photos. My 22 yr old son hates having his picture taken too!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much for the feedback, Julie, I do appreciate it! You're probably right, now is as good a time as any. I'll trumpet and blare about it on my blog soon(ish).Delete
The rebel is delighted with your support, there's no telling what she'll come up with next now that she feels encouraged!
Ersi, your work is beautiful and I think the sooner you open your shop the better. I agree with Julie, just do it. I'm sure being open is better than not having your work on offer. Good luck, you really deserve it. xoxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! It seems that most of you consider this a good moment and I am more and more inclined to open my shop soon. It's also encouraging to know that you like my work. I appreciate your good wishes, Carol.Delete
Well, I would wait until the end of August/September, when people have less to look forward to, and they too need something to cheer themselves up - and the urge to buy may come over them. I would just keep teasing about it until then - lots of great photos ... but what do I know!ReplyDeleteReplies
Jackie, you know a lot about selling online, and successfully too! I appreciate the feedback and I'm delighted you like the photos. Thanks for taking the time to comment.Delete
lol... id say just do it!! If you start when you know it's likely to be quiet, that gives you time to tweak things & re-arrange if needed. Plus, you're never likely to be as quiet again!ReplyDelete
Whenever you open, it will be 'right' though.... good luck :-) xReplies
He he, thanks! You may be right about the advantages of quiet, it's quite a point. Especially when things are hectic enough with my day job. Thanks for dropping in and commenting :)Delete
Notice I put you on my link list to help your publicity campaign.ReplyDelete
The samples are going with me this weekend to a charity my son has got me involved with - we may plan a stitch workshop for teenagers. We shall see how it goes.Replies
Hey, thanks so much for adding me to your link list! I have been browsing the people you feature there and it's a wonderful selection. I appreciate the helping hand.Delete
I hope you'll blog about the stitch workshop, I learn a lot just by reading entries and doing some deduction work, looking forward to it.
Ersi, I'd say go for it...just go ahead and have the work for sale. Easy to say, not always easy to do. I've yet to list anything for sale myself so I'm probably not the best to listen to.ReplyDelete
As for how you feel right now, I understand.Replies
Thanks for the supportive comment, Jennifer. It's good to have you here. I barely have time to read blog entries and leave comments lately. Your opinion is important, even though you don't sell online. (Btw, if you did, it would probably be a great success.)Delete
Just go for it dear. And later on come up with some crazy event to make it more special. We all have laptops and smart phones. every one is on internet 24/7 ( good or bad IDK).Congratulations!ReplyDeleteReplies
A crazy event later on is a great idea! I didn't think of that, it goes to show that my mind is not commercially-oriented yet. Thank you, you just helped tip the scales quite a bit.Delete
I'm sorry to hear that you've been so down lately, Ersi. It's a shame that we can't simply will away times like this with sheer will & sincere wishes, but sometimes it can be hard to find the energy even for that. I hope you can find even one small thing of joy in each day, somehow, someway.ReplyDelete
And in the meanwhile, while you wait for the tide to turn/the wind to change, I'd say, if you are ready, then open your shop to the world! I'm in a country that practically closes for the month of August (and have been happily "disconnected" from the internet much of the summer), but as many pointed out, a lot of people are "connected" all of the time. Even if traffic to your shop begins slowly, it will give you a chance to tie up any loose ends or make small adjustments, and it could give you the chance to find new ways to get the word out.
Good luck to you, and take care of you & your creative spirit...Replies
Lisa, I do thank you, I appreciate your thoughtful comment. To this moment I haven't been able to 'will away' the bad spell. I feel too tired to find any strong will in me. The general social environment doesn't help either. People are worried, scared, indignant or downright jobless and dead broke. Unemployment is over 26% (guess why I got stuck with my summer day job!) and scandals of corruption taint the government and an overwhelming number of politicians. As far as my shop is concerned, I am listening closely to my inner self to catch the right time for opening. I would certainly have done so already if I had any meaningful free time. XXDelete
avec la traduction c'est difficile de tout comprendre..ReplyDelete
juste une remarque..un petit soutien... c'est pas facile de vendre en ce moment, mais la roue tourne!
Bonjour Elfi! Je lis ton blog souvent mais mon Français est un problème et jais ne laisse pas des commentaires. Merci pour me donner du courage!Delete

One of the speed indicator sign locations in Ponteland has temporarily changed.
Last month, the town council agreed to install the permanent structures at Cheviot View (northbound and southbound), North Road and Ladywell Way.
But a tree preservation order issue needs to be sorted out at the North Road site, so a sign will go up in Western Way for about 12 weeks.

Diet for kidney disease
A diet used in the treatment of renal (kidney) disease. It may be low-sodium(Sodium chloride is simply salt), low-potassium(for a list of foods high in potassium click here)and protein(e.g eggs and chicken)and fluid restricted.
Alternative names
renal disease - diet; kidney disease - diet
Food Sources
This diet controls the amount of fluid, protein, sodium, and potassium. The controlled amounts of each of these nutrients are based on the person's blood levels of potassium, sodium, and urea, as well as the fluid balance, creatinine clearance, and blood pressure. If the blood levels indicate the need to adjust the intake of calcium and phosphorus, then the amounts allowed in the diet are changed.
The purpose of a diet that restricts protein, sodium, and potassium is to help the body decrease the waste products produced by metabolism, which are toxic if they are not eliminated from the body. This occurs from certain types of liver and kidney diseases.
a)The amount of protein allowed in the diet is determined by checking the amount of protein (and protein metabolic wastes) in the person's blood. Laboratory tests may include chem-20, creatinine, albumin, and blood urea nitrogen. Low-protein diets may prevent or slow the progress of some kinds of kidney disease. The amount of protein the person can eat is based on how well the kidneys are functioning and the amount of protein needed to maintain good health. Dialysis and the type of dialysis also influence protein needs.
b)The sodium content of a person's daily intake is controlled. This helps in maintaining fluid balance in the body to avoid dehydration or fluid retention. Reduced amounts of sodium in the diet helps control high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
c)The daily intake of potassium is also controlled. This helps prevent hypokalemia (a low level of potassium, rarely a problem for people with renal disease) as well as hyperkalemia (a high level of potassium, a common problem for people with renal disease).
d)The mineral phosphorus is often controlled in this particular diet. When the amount of phosphorus is decreased by the reduced intake of dairy products and other foods high in phosphorus, there is a need to provide calcium supplements to prevent bone disease. The amount of phosphorus in the diet is controlled by the use of phosphorus binders (medications that bind the phosphorus in the food and make them unavailable to the body).
e)During renal failure, the amount of urine the body produces is decreased. The recommended daily amount of fluid is based on the amount of urine produced in a 24-hour period. Other considerations are the amount of fluid retention present, the level of dietary sodium, the use of diuretics, and the presence or absence of congestive heart failure.
f)People with renal disease are more prone to cardiovascular (heart) disease, so a diet with most of the calories from complex carbohydrates is recommended. Calories from fats should be from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The daily calorie intake needs to be adequate to maintain the person's nutritional status at an optimal level and to prevent the breakdown of body tissue. The person's weight and protein status should be monitored regularly, even daily.
g)Vitamin supplementation is very individualized. It is dependent on the various dietary restrictions, the extent of renal failure, and dialysis. The requirements for the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are usually met by the diet. Vitamin D may need to be supplemented; this is an individual medical decision. The intake of water-soluble vitamins is often inadequate, as several good food sources of water-soluble vitamins are restricted on this diet. There is also loss of water-soluble vitamins from dialysis, the cooking methods for leaching potassium, and altered metabolism of vitamins.
h)The minerals that are also monitored include calcium, iron and magnesium. The recommended supplementation of daily calcium is 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. Iron supplementation is based on the person's need. Magnesium supplementation is not recommended, as it can cause an increase in the magnesium levels in a person with renal disease.
I was first transplanted every kind of food
containing a small amount of salt was strictly
forbidden for consumption.But now after my second
transplantation,I'm actually encouraged by my
Doctor to eat very salted food.?Go figure?
Side Effects
A low-protein diet can be deficient in some of the essential amino acids; the vitamins niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin; and the minerals phosphorus, calcium, and iron.
Benefits of implementation:
It is helpful for a long-term feeling of well-being to adhere to the diet as closely as possible. Nonadherence can aggravate the symptoms of renal disease and interfere with recovery.
The Kidney Foundation has chapters in most states and is an excellent resource for educational and materials, programs for people with renal disease and their families.
Registered dietitians are also a resource for nutrition information specific to kidney disease; some are specialists in renal diets.

Zorin OS 9 takes Linux and makes it accessible to Windows users. With well designed interfaces, a familiar look and feel and the best desktop software pre-installed it really is a good way to dip your toes into the Linux pool.
This quick guide shows how to replace your current operating system with Zorin OS 9.
How to get Zorin OS 9
To read all about Zorin OS 9 visit http://zorin-os.com/.
To download Zorin OS 9 visit http://zorin-os.com/free.html for the free version or http://zorin-os.com/premium.html for the premium version.
There are links available to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version. Make sure you choose the correct one for your machine.
After downloading the ISO file follow this guide to create a bootable Linux USB drive but choosing the Zorin OS 9 file that you just downloaded.
With the drive created reboot your computer with the USB drive still plugged in.
A menu will appear with a list of options. Choose the "Default" option.
How to install Zorin OS 9
After booting into Zorin OS 9 you should feel pretty much at home if you are a Windows user.
The desktop has been specifically designed to look and feel like Windows. Note that even though the above image looks like Windows 7 there is a setting available that makes the desktop look more like Windows XP if it makes you feel more comfortable.
To install Zorin OS 9 click on the "install" icon on the desktop.
If you have prior experience of installing any Ubuntu based Linux distribution then this guide will be familiar.
First of all choose the installation language.
You can now choose whether to connect to the internet or not.
Connecting to the internet makes the installation take a bit longer because it installs updates as it goes along. Obviously this time is offset against having to download and install the updates post installation.
If you have a slow internet connection I would recommend not connecting now but to install Zorin and then connect after the installation is complete and install the updates.
Make your decision and click "Continue".
Ideally to install Zorin you will have a great internet connection and be plugged in to a power supply.
Realistically though as long as you have enough battery power and enough disk space you will be fine to install Zorin.
I would recommend plugging your laptop in if you are going to replace the operating system, otherwise there is no telling what state your system will be in if the power dies.
The "Preparing to install Zorin" screen shows you how ready you are to install.
Click "Continue".
The "Installation Type" screen will be slightly different depending on what you already have installed.
In the screenshot above you can see that I already have Netrunner installed and therefore I have the option to install alongside, replace Netrunner or something else.
If you are running Windows then you will have the option to install alongside Windows or replace Windows.
Note that these instructions will not work with Windows 8. That is a guide for another day.
Select the "Replace with Zorin" option to replace your current OS with Zorin OS 9 and click "Continue".
A big warning message will now appear stating that everything will be wiped. This is your last chance to change your mind.
If you are sure you want to do this, click "Install Now".
The next screen asks you where you are in the world so that your timezone will be correctly set when you use Zorin for the first time.
Click where you live on the map and click "Continue".
Select your keyboard layout from the aptly titled "Keyboard Layout" screen by choosing where you are and your language and then click "Continue".
Finally create a default user and define your machine name.
Simply enter your name, a descriptive name for the computer, a username and a strong password.
Click "Continue".
The Zorin OS files will now be copied across and the system installed.
When everything is done you will see the following screenshot.
That is it. All you need to do now is restart your computer and remove the USB drive.
Other useful links
Now obviously this guide was quite quick and quite specific.
Maybe you wanted to dual boot Zorin OS with Windows 7 for instance or maybe you wanted to try Zorin OS out in a virtual machine.
Whilst the following links were created for other versions of Linux all you need to do is replace the version of Linux used in these articles with the Zorin OS ISO downloaded earlier.
- How to install Linux Mint as a virtual machine using Virtualbox
- How to install Linux Mint alongside Windows 7
- How to install Ubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows 8.1
- How to dual boot Windows XP and Linux
- How to dual boot Windows Vista and Linux
- How to create a bootable Linux USB drive
This article was created in advance of the upcoming review of Zorin OS 9.
If you have any questions feel free to use the comments section below.
Thankyou for reading.

Keratoconus eye care in San Souci
Keratoconus in San Souci is an eye disease that affects your cornea. It is one of those that we screen for as part of our comprehensive eye exam, recommended annually for all of our valued patients. The nature of keratoconus is that your cornea begins to lose its normal shape, which is round, and morphs into a shape that is more conical. This occurs because the collagen in your eye loses its strength. And since that is what is responsible for the cornea maintaining its shape, the inevitable result is bulging and the consequences that are part of it. Fortunately, here at Yeager Vision Care, we can diagnose and treat keratoconus with our stellar eye care.
If you're searching for symptoms of keratoconus in San Souci, they generally show up in the latter stages of the disease. Early on, you may not even be aware of any issues. This is a big reason why a yearly eye exam is so vital. If our eye doctor detects the presence of this disease before it has progressed to a more advanced stage, you will probably be able to treat it with a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. And unless your symptoms worsen, this may be sufficient to handle the matter.
If, however, your keratoconus in San Souci becomes more than can be dealt with using corrective lenses, surgery may be the only viable option. A procedure called INTACS is the state-of-the-art solution for keratoconus. It's safe, effective, and minimally invasive. It works by flattening the cornea and in the process alleviating the symptoms of it and restoring more normal vision to you.
Some of the more obvious symptoms that you may experience from keratoconus in San Souci and that would indicate to you that you should call us right away and schedule an examination include problems driving at night, eye strain, general eye pain, eye irritation, eye itchiness, and halos that appear within your field of vision. Our eye doctor will do a series of tests, including a slit-lamp exam in order to reach a definitive diagnosis that will point in the direction toward the best treatment path.

Men have been trying to figure out with ever since the dawn of time.
Unfortunately, we don't know much more about what makes women tick than our caveman ancestors did.
In fact, our ancient ancestors (not all that far removed from the Flintstones) may have even been a bit smoother with the ladies that we – just because they didn't have so much noise and confusion out there about what it really takes to turn her on.
Of course, back then a little bit of sabertooth tiger meat and may be a brand-new woolly mammoths jacket may have been all a fellow needed to "seal the deal", the boy how times have changed.
If you're looking for a couple of effortless ways to turn around right now, today, focus on the secrets and strategies that we have broken down for you below.
It sure beats trying to track down a couple of extinct animals!
Get your hands on a Six Flags season pass
According to new research published by the University of Texas (Austin), women that have just recently experienced an adrenaline spike are up to 70% more likely to find just about any member of the opposite sex more attractive than they would have if they didn't go through that event.
The study specifically paid attention to all of the different "triggers of attraction" that women presented both before and after they climbed aboard roller coasters at Six Flags, and the findings were nothing short of groundbreaking.
Now, you might not be able to bring her to an amusement park every time that you're thinking about making a move, but if you want to really make sure that the sparks are flying, it's not a bad idea to find ways to pump up her adrenaline before you decide to slide between the sheets.
She's going to love shopping – for you!
There is just something that a woman loves about a sharp dressed man.
If there is a single complaint is that most women have about the men that enter into their lives romantically, it would have to be that they just don't dress as well as they probably should.
For whatever reason, we men are mostly focused on the utility of our closing, with very little (if any) attention to detail about how it presents us to the opposite sex.
Now, going out to buy an entirely new wardrobe may not cure erectile dysfunction quite the same way that those little blue pills will, but you had better believe that she's going to notice the change in either immediately – and it's going to be a very (very) welcome upgrade.
Become a bit of a juicer
If you are really serious about making a "big splash" with your first impression, you might want to speak with a doctor and see if you qualify for a Viagra prescription.
This sildenafil based little blue pill is an absolute modern miracle, and it's not just going to help you if you're dealing with erectile dysfunction. It will also help you get the most "performance" out of our little friend to the south.
It has even been shown to "plump us up" so that we become not only a "grow-er" – but a "show-er" as well!

Spring might not quite be here yet but that doesn't mean you can't plan ahead, and so I've been busying myself with making some new jewellery in pastel colours. I'm a total magpie and I have boxes of costume jewellery – everything from feathers to spikes…I love it all. Even though I do buy quite a lot of jewellery, nothing beats wearing pieces I've made myself.
It's so easy to make a simple beaded bracelet, which is a great starting point if you do want to make your own jewellery.
It's so easy to make a simple beaded bracelet, which is a great starting point if you do want to make your own jewellery. You just need beads and some nylon stretch cord (I prefer Opelon which you can buy from Ebay and most bead shops). If you've got a pair of scissors and can tie a knot then you're good to go! I may do a tutorial on the blog in the near future so watch this space!
The earrings were an upcycle job using a pair of plastic hoops that were from a very old set belonging to my mum. I think they came with interchangeable hoops of various colours which you could attach to a clip-on earring. Very 70s! Anyway, they'd been kicking about in my bead box for years so I finally decided to do something with them. All that was required was a little bit of wire work and they have a new lease of life!
Do you like to make your own jewellery or clothes? Drop me a link in the comments so I can check them out!
Thanks for reading, have a lovely day!

Aunt Millie
I'm once again joining Wendy, this fortnight's host at Tag Tuesday. And because I used some numbers in this tag, I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday.
I carefully checked the Tag Tuesday blog for size constrictions, and when I found none, I created this large tag that incorporates a smaller tag as part of the layout.
The texture begins at the top with a piece of corrugated cardboard I dipped in the same walnut ink I colored everything else. I was really amazed at how different substrates and materials took the walnut ink differently.
Aunt Millie (one of TH's faux relatives) was sewn to the smaller tag then placed over two doilies
that were also dipped in the same walnut ink. The washi tape didn't get any walnut ink.
The clock number sits on a textured sand paint chip sample. I stapled the paint chip sample to the tag.
I must have taken twenty photos of "Aunt Millie," then I realized it was not my camera, but the image that wasn't in focus.
I stapled more corrugated cardboard to the bottom of the tag. I apparently ran out of gold staples because they suddenly turned that steel color of regular staples.
I admit this has been one of my favorite entries I have created in a long time.
Materials used include corrugated cardboard, S&H green stamps, two doilies, washi tape, a clock number, a paint chip sample, staples, a faux family member, fancy fibers, and two tags I cut from used file folders. Most everything was colored using walnut ink.
Don't forget to visit Tag Tuesday, where Wendy's theme is texture.
Try it on Tuesday, where their current theme is Numbers and/or Letters.
You'll find me at both places. Thanks for visiting today, because I'm especially proud of this tag.

This is a gorgeous tag, really, really EXTRA gorgeous! We don't have any size constrictions at TT, we don't have many rules at all. This is one of my all time fave creations from you, so thanks a lot for that, and for joining us at TIOT as well. It's cooler here now, and I'm feeling almost human again....Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie

I love Aunt Millie! I love that photo and all the varied textures and such you surrounded her with. I think this would be a fun way to display small photos to enlarge them a bit so they'd fit in a standard modern frame.

When Not To Look At Inappropriate Images #87 – On TV February 5, 2010Posted by bitchwantstea in Film / TV, News.
add a comment
It's risky enough looking at images of semi-naked people at work, but what if you were caught doing it at work on live TV?
That was the reality for one poor sod, caught out while his co-worker did a live TV interview with an Australian news program. You can check out the clip above. The cheekiness occurs just past the one minute mark. The chap's monitor sits to the side of the interviewee's ear.
Now, I know what you might think – it's hard to make out the images. But hang in there and all will be revealed (arf arf.) The money shot is when the guy realises he's been rumbled at the 1:32 mark. Busted!

Since it was a working day, only six members found the time and made the effort to drive about 35 kms to the winery. The drive upto Perne Phata 500M short of the toll booth on Pune –
Set amidst lush fields of American corn, marigold and acres of vineyards, Deccan Plateau Wines is a 50,000 liter owner-operated boutique style winery. Both partners Girish Kamble and Nitin Shinde grew up in vineyard owning families. They decided to switch from table to wine grapes and took professional training in
Nitin gave us a tour of the spanking new winery which is in its finishing stages. While we waited for the grape laden trucks to arrive, Sheel took the initiative to rinse out the stainless steel tubs we had brought all the way from Pune to do some crushing by ye olde method – using the feet!
The wine making process is seemed simple. The grapes are picked in the evening and reach the winery early next morning. The grapes sans leaves are unloaded on a long vibrating table. The bunches, spread evenly on the table and given the once over for any foreign matter fall into a conveyor which takes them up and dumps them into a fancy piece of equipment called the destemmer. As the bunches fall in, a perforated rotating drum removes the stems and spews them out thru a discharge chute. The grapes are mashed with skin et al and fall into a funnel connected to a screw conveyor which moves the thick liquid thru a translucent flexible pipe to the top of the designated stainless steel storage tank. These tanks are temperature controlled for proper fermentation. The grape juice is then allowed to ferment in the tank for about 15 days before being moved to the wine press where the skin is removed and the clear juice goes back into a tank for further fermentation. The winemaker's skills then come into play to create the wine.
Nitin offered a taste of
Nitin and Girish plan to have a nice restaurant and a winebar by the end of the year when their wines will be released. The area will be fully landscaped and by the time it's done, it'll be an ideal day's outing for the family. The winery is small and with owner winemakers in attendance, visitors will have a rum (oops wine) time!

Hello, I'm Melissa Johnson... artist and tattooer.
I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Idaho in 1994, and moved to Florida. I learned to tattoo in 1997 at Old Town Tattoo in Kissimmee, Fl. Everyone in the shop taught me, so I got to glean little tricks and nuggets from each of them. I spent about 10 years with them and their sister shop, Studio 2 Tattoo. I have also worked with Exotica Body Art in Orlando, The Dungeon near UCF, spent a little time at Cliff's Tattoos on Long Island, and then opened my own shop in Idaho. Two years in, it was going well, but I missed the sun and warmth of Florida. I then moved back to work with friends at Copper Fox Tattoo in Kissimmee, Fl.
I enjoy tattooing bold color pieces, flowers and animals, black and gray, photo realistic imagery, Traditional Oriental tattoo styles, and anything else that creates an eye catching design.
Tattooing never ceases to amaze me. Whatever judgements or walls that exist between artist and client at the beginning must dissolve in order to team up and successfully reach our mutual end goal of a superior tattoo. There is a trust that starts during the consultation, and increases every minute down the path of creating the tattoo design, and culminates in a deep trust and surrender during the tattooing process. We often get into a flow state in conversation. Clients tell me the most amazing things in this space. Incredibly personal things, amazing ideas, unbelievable stories, and the connectedness between us is palpable. This is one of the many privileges of the industry.
My other favorite privilege, is the flow state of the tattoo process itself. Since there are no erasers in tattooing, it is a one shot, high stakes, no mistakes endeavor, which brings me right into the moment. It feels incredible to be surfing the body's surface with a needle and ink, being one with the shared intention and goal of the client, one with the process, and the whole room. These are the moments when you know the client is going to move, who is going bump the client before it happens, and when your client needs a break. It sounds kind of new agey to describe this state, but every tattooer loves tattooing for the flow state. It is its own reward.

WASHINGTON: Microsoft's new Windows 10 build will offer a glimpse of the tech giant's much-awaited "Project Spartan" browser, reported TechCrunch..
Project Spartan is the codename for Microsoft's new browser and it will replace its predecessor in steps. It comes with Cortana, the company's digital assistant that lives in both current builds of Windows Phone and Windows 10.
By bringing Cortana into the browser, Microsoft appears to be moving towards establishing Cortana on every screen where the company vends a platform.
Microsoft highlighted pen capabilities, simple reading views, and a rendering engine built for the web as the new browser's merits.
The preview marks the first public release of Project Spartan. However, the company clarified that the new browser was an incomplete product.

You start from a place where she is not attempting to limit, control or intervene in your relationship. You haven't actually started until she understands that. Until her insecurities are not dictating the nature of your relationship with her husband. Until she understands that sharing your body with her husband will not stop her being jealous.
Even if you are cool with not having sex alone with her husband, you don't want to start a precedent where her issues with sharing her husband consistently impact on your relationships. Unless you are happy with the emotional risk of being their guinea pig. Sexually and otherwise. If you are happy with the fact that she obviously has insecurities which may mean that she will pull out of this at any time, making it extremely difficult to continue your relationship with her husband.
You might say that anyone's spouse can pull out at any time, and that's absolutely true, that's why the majority of us try to get assurances from potential partners that they are poly, regardless of what their partner(s) may want from them, and then, we try to assure that their partner(s) are completely okay with them being poly too, just to lessen the chance of drama. Being completely okay with poly doesn't involve stopping your partner having a sexual relationship with someone else.
London: Thank you. This is exactly the type of advice/info I'm looking for!!
Your first line is exactly why we really haven't "started" anything. We're talking. Discussing. Getting closer to each other. If/when we START this life, we'll all be on the same page.
And the "guinea pig" concept has been discussed, too...neither of them want me to be that or feel that way.
I'm in love with him/he with me. BUT... with total respect to the life they've had for so many years, we're not rushing into anything. Thus why we haven't just had an affair. He and I have engaged in some making out, etc, which she is totally fine with and actually encourages.
She's an amazing woman. Truly. I adore her, and am enjoying getting to know her better. She's the same way with me. And we all see what we all "do" for each other as a very close friendship bonds between us.
Again, thank you, London.
Including ignoring situations when you are at an obvious disadvantage.
London's advice was sound. If you decide to just carry on ignoring the dangers you will get hurt and trust me it will be you who is thrown out on your ear broken hearted and alone.
Funny enough there is thread going on right now where a woman has had her relationship controlled by the wife and just recently ended by her. At lest this woman has other lovers so she can take solace in their arms/company, that is more than what you will have unless you stand up for your rights.
Anyway, you might want to read it and see just were this sort of control usually ends up.
At the end of the day you will do what you want to do anyway, but I will hope that you do not ignore that inner voice, that you will not accept this restriction, that you will not get involved with this women so you can only have sex as a threesome (being a friend is fine, you don't have to create a romantic relationship out of that) and that you all do a heck load more reading before you start anything.
Please be sensible and protect yourself.
It is possible to make your situation work, if you ALL really do your homework and are all prepared for the possibility that you will ALL have to change. The odds however are probably stacked against you.
Many people are not prepared to grow and learn, much less take personal responsibility for their actions, and therefore get into trouble when it comes to something as complex as a multi-person relationship.
I would take all the 'negativity' you are hearing with a grain of salt - some of it may well be down to people having had bad experiences based on incorrect expectations and poor communications in their own lives. What you might take from their responses though is that a lot of people have either been in or seen similar setups to yours that did not work out well.
NRE is a real issue though. As Dr. Helen Fisher says, it is a state of bio-chemically induced temporary insanity that really does make it impossible to view the world rationally. That's what this forum is good for, when it works without descending into chaos! You can get good sound feedback on your situation from people who are not in your 'NRE-bubble'.
Best of luck.

Hi YellowBird,
Read this article about the "rights of a secondary." Might be easier to take in than some of the responses here, which come across a bit harsh.
There is no need for you to force yourself to fall in love with, or have sex with, this wife, if it's really only the husband you desire sexually. She does not NEED to be present when you and the h have sex... that is just something she thinks will reduce her jealousy. It won't! It will just be bad sex, if you 2 women are straight. Even if you do get to explore some latent bicuriousity, and have some sexual fun, chances are things will still get ugly rather quickly, if she sees him paying more attention to you than to her, in bed. NRE will do that. We've seen men not able to get it up for their primary when the new lover is right there, all exciting, unmapped territory.
Love withers under constraint; its very essence is liberty. It is compatible neither with envy, jealousy or fear. It is there most pure, perfect and unlimited when its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve. -- Shelley

Who knows? She might get turned on watching and you might like being watched. Stranger things have happened

Just to clarify, it seemed from your original post that you were ONLY with him, but not allowed to have sex with him?
But, eventually, you'll be able to have physical relations without her around (since she's not bi), right?
Otherwise, it looks like you're committing yourself to a life without sex. If that's cool with you, that's awesome, but doesn't seem like a lot of fun for you
remember, the ONLY way that she will EVER be able to have sex with her partner is if the wife is present. That is coercion. It is not unreasonable to want to have sex with your romantic partner. If she wishes to experiment with the wife too, then fine, but when the only way she can have a sexual relationship with her romantic partner is in the presence of his wife, she is forced to decide between sex with a woman, or in someone else's presence at the very least OR no sex with her partner. That isn't a reasonable choice to give someone. Not when it is only based on your insecurities.
That's a great deal of WONDERFUL info. I appreciate it all!
Just to clear things up...this whole idea/concept/thought is TOTALLY new to all of us. I've been friends with them for a while, but THIS is NEW. I truly didn't mean to make the wife sound like a control freak. She's not at all. No one's being forced to do anything, and that includes her; she's not being forced accept me a a part of their family. It's a very loving friendship, and things are progressing slowly.
Flowerchild: Yes, I've committed myself to him..totally my choice regardless of sex or not. (tons of personal history behind my choice in that matter). And yes, I'm thinking eventually there will be private time for he & I. Again..allll is new, and he & I are NOT cheaters so we're not going to do anything deceivingly. We can't help that we fell in love.
I read the article about primary and secondary. There's a lot of great info there, and I appreciate the link.
Do you all have some strange idea that practicing polyamory means that all three of you must be sexually involved with each other? Even though you and she are straight? Are you aware that it is still polyamory if you are involved only with the husband? Poly people do have separate relationships - it isn't all about threesomes and moresomes. In fact, many poly people never have threesomes and have no desire to do so.
You say she is not a control freak, but you are not really "hearing" what we're telling you. The fact that she is stating any sex with her husband must take place with her present is the main reason we say she is only trying to exert control over your relationship with him. Essentially, no matter how politely and gently she puts it, that is an attempt to manage a relationship she is not in, and she has no business trying to manage. It is obvious she is insecure and not really consenting to poly if she will ask or expect this of you.
Even if you weren't heterosexual, why would you even consider it? It is extremely inappropriate for her to put that sort of requirement on his and your potential sex life. Do you get it now????
The world opens up... when you do.

Nearly all high school cliques are racially divided: StudyMarch 9th, 2008 - 1:06 pm ICT by admin
Washington, March 9 (ANI): A new study has shed light on school cliques and gossiping, by showing that nearly all high school groups are divided along racial lines.
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) sociologist Casey Borch, Ph.D co-authored a study with Antonius Cillessen, Ph.D., at the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen and the University of Connecticut to find out how aggression, popularity and academic achievement influenced membership in cliques.
The researchers surveyed nearly 600 boys and girls, starting in the 4th grade through the 12th grade, in a public school system in a working class community in the Northeast from 1995-2004.
The study found that physical aggression helped popularity in the earlier grades but not as the children grew older. Membership in physically aggressive cliques tended to decline over time whereas membership in cliques where students gossiped, spread rumours and excluded others, which is called relational aggression, remained constant over time.
In fact, the study found that behaviours such as gossiping and spreading rumors increased the perceived popularity, or social visibility, of the students over time, Borch said.
"So how well known you are is enhanced by one's ability to be relationally aggressive. So a lot of popular kids may not be well liked, but they are relationally aggressive and their peers think that they are popular. So it makes some sense that relational aggression is a chosen tactic used by adolescents interested in popularity," Borch said.
"The 'mean girls' effect suggests that girls engage more in this type of behaviour more than boys, and as a rule, they do, but the people who gain more from this behaviour are minority boys. Minority boys who are relationally aggressive gained a lot more popularity over time than any other group, although, they were less likely to use the behaviour.
"One surprising finding was that in the fourth grade about 50 percent of the cliques were of mixed race and ethnicity, but by the 12th grade, nearly 90 percent of cliques were of the one race or ethnicity, so only 10 percent were mixed. This was even more surprising given the increasing ethnic diversity of the school system we studied over time. We did not expect to see the racial composition of the cliques to go from 50 percent mixed to just 10 percent," he added.
For their study, the researchers had students write down the names their best friends. To identify the cliques, the researchers compared the lists to determine whether students' feelings were reciprocated.
The study subjects also were asked to identify the overtly aggressive classmates, those who regularly started fights, said mean things or bullied others, and those who gossiped, told rumours or excluded others from a group. Then students were asked to rate the school's cliques on popularity, social preference and overt and relational aggression.
"Cliques aren't necessarily bad. It just depends on the kind of clique a child is in. The common misconception is that they [cliques] are inherently bad and that kids in cliques exclude other people or that they are separatists or that they're somehow disconnected from the larger network as a whole and that is fundamentally not true," Borch said.
"Kids are good social observers. They know who the aggressive kids are and who's popular. So listen to your kids. If they say someone is trouble, they may very well be," he added.
The study will be published as a chapter in the forthcoming book "Modeling Dyadic and Interdependent Data in Developmental Research" later this year. (ANI)

Globe BowlBash - European Skateboarding Battle
Series of alienating portraits of bowl skateboarders ready to battle 'under the water line'
For the Globe BowlBash, European Skateboarding Battle we made a series of portraits that would grab the attention and have an alienating effect. The idea for the print campaign was to have a bunch of heavy looking skateboarders to challenge their hero for battle. For example "I'm gonna beat Ivan Rivado" would be the copy line for the posters, flyers, booklets and ads for the Spanish event. This way the most well known skateboarders in the bowl skateboarding scene set the level of skateboarding and expectations for the battle that was about to take place. Skateboarding bowls origin from backyard pools, full of water. When in the 70ties in a dry summer water got scarce, the pools dried up and surfers started skateboarding in them. In this photography we wink back to that origin and figured the water would be back and the battle would take place 'under the water line'.
