Truth in Cosmetic Surgery
Third Degree Murder and Fatal Booty Silicone
Posted by admin in bad plastic surgery, Injection Hell on March 10, 2015
I have expressed my angst regarding butt injections many times before at this fine blog. This recent story however had me looking up the definition of third degree murder and redoubling my cynicism on the topic:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former madam has been convicted of third-degree murder in the death of a British dancer who got silicone injections to enhance her buttocks at an airport hotel. The 45-year-old Windslowe describes herself as a former madam and hip-hop performer known as "the Black Madam." Police say she fled after a botched injection killed the 20-year-old London dancer in 2011.
Source: msn.com/en-us/news/crime/black-madam-convicted-of-murder-in-fatal-buttocks-injection/ar-BBijFhZ
As I have said before:
Silicone injections are scary. No reputable plastic surgeon offers them to my knowledge. Do not submit to them.
Why someone would submit to injections of any sort provided in a hotel room still puzzles me. I know of no doctors who operate in any hotel. Then again I am not on freiendly terms with any Quacks.
When you let a non-physician perform a procedure on you you accept risk; more risk than you might have encountered when you had a skilled physician as your service provider. Sometimes that risk manifests as something truly tragic as in this case.
Apparently third degree murder is murder that occurs due to indifference or negligence. It will be interesting to see if this woman gets any significant jail time or anything even close to that which a physician would have received for doing something similar.

Good Thigh Lift Results – Orange County California
Posted by admin in "Good Plastic Surgery in the OC", Dr D's Patients on March 4, 2015
Good Thigh Lift Results
can be yours if you are the proper candidate and you have quality surgery.
The operation is designed to correct loose fatty skin along the inside of the thighs. As I have previously posted images of such operations in which things did not turn out well, here is an example of the other side of the coin.
This pretty forty something was in good shape, but had gained and lost a good deal of weight around the time of her pregnancies years prior. The result was that her inner thighs kind of touched and when she ran she felt them swinging around and slapping one another at times. The skin was loose and wrinkles were apparent. She found this inconsistent with her self-image and wanted it corrected.
A year after thigh lift surgery (upper right in the image) the problem was greatly improved (good thigh lift results.) In cases like hers the scar can be carefully hidden in the groin crease. Larger cases (such as after gastric bypass) with more loose skin can require extended incisions.

Dr D's "Cheap Plastic Surgery"
Posted by admin in Dr D article, Dr D's Truth on March 4, 2015
Most people looking into cosmetic surgery soon realize that it is not cheap, but why? Why is it so expensive? There are many reasons. Most of them have to do with overhead. The discussion below is meant to give you some insight into the way plastic surgery is practiced. It varies quite a bit. Bargain Basement plastic surgery may not be the best idea when you look at the big picture.
Some of you out there are thinking: "Gimme a break! I have this ad right here saying that breast implants are only $3000. How can this be?"
You are correct. There are those that do this operation for less than it costs me to render the service. Then there are those who use ads to get you into the office and the story changes when you get there. How can they do this? Below we will lay out some possibilities. These may seem quite familiar to some of you:
Say you walk with ad in hand to see the doctor. You notice that the doctor's name doesn't seem to be listed in the advertisement. This is called a Bait and Switch Scam.
SCENARIO 1: "All things are not as they seem"
You find yourself in an examination room with a nurse who tells you that the doctor only meets with patients after they have signed up for surgery. This saves the practice money, but wouldn't you rather meet your surgeon before you decide to make him your surgeon? She then explains that the price you saw in the advertisement is just the surgeon's fee. The full price with anesthesia, the facility fee and implants is several thousand dollars more.
SCENARIO 2: "The surgeon and facility are not as they seem"
You meet the doctor and ask him about his training. You find that he trained as an Obstetrician or Head and Neck Surgeon. He started doing cosmetic surgery years ago. He is not board eligible or board certified in Plastic Surgery, but he is board certified in "Cosmetic Surgery." He operates in his office, but hasn't bothered to have it certified by any ambulatory care agency, so there is no facility fee. He does the procedure under "twilight sleep," so there is no anesthesia fee.
I am not trying to say that you have to pay a fortune to have cosmetic surgery, but contrary to popular belief most plastic surgeons are not trying to rip you off. They have legitimate costs of doing business and pass these on to their clientele. By the same token if you see a few doctors and one has a "sky-high" fee, don't think that an operation here is a guaranteed success. My suggestion is that you consider seeing a few surgeons. Take your cosmetic surgery fee quotations and throw out the really high and really low ones. Then choose one of the remaining surgeons.
When you go to have a cosmetic operation, you are paying for the expertise of your surgeon. You are also paying for every patient who has ever sued a plastic surgeon in Southern California, because this is how malpractice insurance premiums are charged. Malpractice insurance is one of the highest overhead items that plastic surgeons pay. Non-plastic surgeons who perform cosmetic surgery often do so without specific malpractice coverage meaning they pay cheaper malpractice premiums than I do. Finally, in choosing cosmetic surgery with a particular surgeon you are choosing a Level of Service. This often changes dramatically with the price tag.

Extreme Makeover – What Part The Makeup?
A friend with a gift for producing more e-mail than your friendly neighborhood surgeon can read e-mailed me a few pics including this one.
It spurred a thought:
"What part of Extreme Makeover results are the makeup?"
This lady apparently had just makeup. Well maybe in addition to more flattering camera-work for the after image.
Having been a photographer in years gone by, I make a concerted attempt to make my before and after images honest. Not all surgeons agree. Many have patients come for their before pictures without makeup and take their after images with soft studio lighting and makeup. This is cheating. Any photographer should be able to use camera tricks (and now Photoshop) to make their results look better than they are. You are not at your surgeon's office to see how good the photography is, are you?
The bottom line is that you should look carefully at the pictures at your surgeon's office before you have surgery.

Boob Job Cost – What Should A Good Breast Augmentation Cost Anyway?
Boob Job Cost
Recently a nurse at one of the hospitals in which I do wound work asked me what a boob job costs.
This is a question without a simple answer so let's share:
A "boob job" is a generic term for cosmetic breast surgery. Cosmetic breast surgery can have a number of different operations involved. The main items that are associated with expense in cosmetic breast surgery are degree of work, the location and who is doing that work.
I have made light of the cheapie boob job bulletin board ads we see in areas of Southern California. The quotation of a price without knowing who will be doing the surgery or what exactly will be the nature of that surgery is an invitation to misunderstanding. Some of these cheapie boobjobs end up looking like novice surgeons indeed were involved. Take my word on that.
The simplest of all boob jobs is solely the placement of breast implants. If this is done by a reasonably experienced surgeon using saline filled implants, an average cost in Southern California is about $5000-6000; yes, roughly twice the cost quoted on that cheapie plastic surgery sign. If the implants are silicone gel types add another $1000.
Breast lift surgery can be simple or complicated. Some women have significant degrees of breast droop that putting implants in alone may not improve. Breast lift surgery in addition to breast implants can double the price of the surgery.
So you see the cost of a boob job requires a visit to a surgeon's office for an examination to be followed by a quote for the work you might want performed. You would do this for your car before repair work. Why not do at least the same for your body?
Decide before you go if you want a bargain basement job or custom work.
Caveat Emptor.

Reader Question – Best Price for Liposuction in Orange County
Im looking for a practice that can offer me the best price for liposuction. There is a very small area just below my belly button I would like to have done. What would be a rough estimate for that procedure?
I get e-mail like this now and again. When you go about looking to go on the cheap for liposuction, you are going to find your way to a non-plastic surgeon for it. There are many other types of doctors who perform liposuction and the non-plastic surgeons have lower overhead. I am not saying I would recommend it or that they are very good at it, but they are cheaper.
Just be aware of what you are seeking because you just might find it…and end up in a bad place because of it.

P.S. By the way, when you receive a price on an operation without being examined first, that is a red flag too.

Nasal Mohs Patient & The Politics of Doing The Right Thing
Recently I saw a patient with a small superficial basal cell cancer on the rim of her nose (the Nasal Ala.) She was referred by a dermatologist who had scheduled her for Mohs Surgery and wanted my help with reconstruction of the wound that would result from the Mohs surgery. I saw her before her Mohs surgery.
It is true that reconstruction in this area frequently leaves less than attractive results and that there are alternatives that might obviate her need for surgery namely topical chemotherapeutic creams. They only work for superficial disease which her biopsy indicated she had. I have used them before and they have worked pretty well but they do require a lot of follow-up visits.
At the risk of angering the local dermatologist I suggested that the patient speak with her about this possibility before her scheduled Mohs operation. It is true that that a surgeon working with his mind as opposed to with his hands makes less less money, but it is the right thing to do. The patient actually decided to have the Mohs surgery anyway.
I always wonder when I do these things if I am annoying the referring doctors and I may do so on occasion. The focus should be on what's best for the patient, but business can distort that in some cases.

Uncommonly Discussed Smoking Effects: Skin Necrosis
Cigarette smoking is a habit that can get you into trouble with strokes and heart attacks. A common thread here is that smoking reduces blood flow to your organs. It is kinda like strangling your tissues from the inside out. Think of blood as the flow of life in any organ. Without regular blood flow, most tissues die. This includes your heart, brain and skin.
Did you know that some people see problems with wound healing though, even with plastic surgery? The skin is your largest organ and is also susceptible to the blood flow killing effects of cigarette smoking. So say you smoke cigarettes for ten years and then quit. Did you know that the tummy tuck you have ten years later might not heal so well and that tendency would be worse from those cigarettes you smoked a decade earlier?
Take a look at such a patient after her tummy tuck:
Skin necrosis wound after tummy tuck
Not so pretty? This woman's tummy tuck wound opened up like a pit in the ground a month after her surgery and took 3 months to close. Her tummy eventually healed but did not look as nice as most of my other tummy tuck patient's tummies.

Dr D an Aging Athlete and the Statin Question – Who Should Be On Statins? I
Posted by admin in Cholesterol and Dr D on March 4, 2015
Some years ago in my early forties I began to consider my cholesterol and what I might do about it. My father had had a heart attack in his late forties and lost some 30% of his heart muscle. His father died of a stroke. As far as I was concerned, that put me in moderate risk territory. The science of cholesterol was less filled out in the early 2000s. I was active mostly doing weights back then 2-4 days a week.
Statin use is debatable as a prophylactic. The data on Statin drug's usefulness in preventing heart attacks is based upon the treatment of people with significantly diseased heart blood vessels. Then again it could be argued that a big problem in the treatment of global heart disease is that we wait until people are significantly diseased to treat them. Then we try to catch up from behind.
I came to the point when I had to meet with my primary care doctor and discuss options. He did not want me to go on a Statin drug. I pretty much insisted. He begrudgingly put me on Lovastatin which at the time had recently gone generic. The data from mostly the English studies kept showing lower LDL cholesterol predicting lesser cardiac risk. My total cholesterol was around 230 before the drug.
My early experiences on the Statins were pretty innocuous. They drove my LDL cholesterol down and didn't irritate my liver or anything else for that matter. I pretty much walked up the generic scale; as the newer more powerful drugs became generic I changed from the older generation drug to the newer drug. So it went from Lovastatin to Simvastatin and Atorvastatin.
I developed my first hiccup in "Statin land" around my late forties. Still liking my time at the gym 2-5 days a week, my muscles started to ache much more than usual. At first I figured it was just my age. I had been on Statins at this point for about 8 years. Eventually I figured the Statin (at this point Atorvastatin) might be to blame. So I stopped it and a week or two later the muscle pain was gone.
So here started my quest of sorts to find the right regimen so that I could both work out and keep the cholesterol in check.

John Di Saia MD

There are a number of websites which are operating under different web hosting platforms, but feel troubled due to the rigidness and limitations of the features there. The ipage host company is an incredible platform which is hard to resist for the businesses of today who are looking to make an impact on the web arena. They are welcomed by the platform to join their network by transferring their already using domain onto the platform. The platform has made the transferring process very simple and seamless. After transferring, they can exploit all the great features and services of the iPage which they were longing for.
Benefits of transferring your domain to the iPage:
- The Domain Central wizard of the ipage host company is versatile which allows you to conveniently manage one or all of the domains that you own.
- You have the liberty and the convenience of managing your hosting and domains through a single account created with the network.
- You have the option to prevent the possibility of the expiration of your domain by deploying the incredible auto domain renewal service.
- You can opt to go for with the inclusion of domain privacy feature, which will allow you to protect the privacy of the personal information that is related with your domain.
- The network gives you extensive 24/ 7 customer support.
- You will save a considerable amount of money as compared with other registrars.
How to prepare your Domain for transfer:
The following are the major steps which are required to transfer your domain to the iPage platform:
- You have to begin by unlocking your domain.
- Go to your current network's control panel and disable the privacy settings of your domain.
- You are required to update your contact information which is registered with the domain. It is a mandatory requirement to receive email confirmation from your new web host.
- You will get a transfer authorization code for your domain.
- The domain owner needs to be sure that they are registered with their first platform for at least a period of 60days. If not, then they have to wait until 60 days to pass as it is a mandatory requirement.
- You also have to be sure and needs to certify that your domain name was not involved in any sort of dispute and neither was it involved in any illegal activities.
- Another critical, but very rare condition that you need to be sure of is that your domain doesn't have a registry lock.If it has a lock, then you have to remove it by approaching your current web host company's customer support. It is again a mandatory requirement and your transfer to the new web hosting company cannot proceed without following this step.
Once, all the above steps are performed and the necessary conditions are met, then your domain name will be all set to get transferred to the new iPage platform.

The author did a great job of research to try to understand the REAL Cleopatra. She was an extremely intelligent and powerful leader in a very complex and brutal world. I was
really impressed with her leadership and political skills.
Informational & entertaining view of one of my favorite women in history.
This is a brilliant book, a story of a remarkable life and period of world history.
Cleopatra was a fascinating woman. Her image has been controlled by men who made her out to be one thing so that they could contrast themselves against her. Much of the documentation seems to be about her only in relationship to Caesar or Mark Antony, or Octavian, but Schiff has found a Cleopatra that was canny, intelligent and endlessly charming. I really enjoyed Schiff's writing and phraseology.
The author provides compelling insights and contexts that expand our understanding of the Egyptian Queen in an engaging way. Clearly, Cleopatra led an epic life. Obviously, Cleopatra was extremely shrewd. She used her affairs with Julius Cesar and Mark Antony to further her own political agenda and power. Although the book was dry in a few spots, I found myself picking it up at every opportunity. Well written, interesting and persuasive, I would highly recommend this book to anyone.This book would also make an excellent gift.
I don't think this book translates well to the audio format. I found it hard to follow

Think Twice before Rescuing Young Wildlife!
Each year the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) receives numerous calls from citizens who, with the best of intentions, have "rescued" a young wild animal and are seeking tips on how to properly care for it. However, many times these citizens are endangering the lives of young wildlife by interfering with their natural adaptation and learning of basic survival skills.
Spring is a time when many native species are busy raising their young, and it can be very enjoyable to watch – but do so from a distance! Young animals are very cute and it's often hard to resist the urge to help them, but remember, by interfering with them, more harm than good is done. Their chances of survival are much better if left in their natural surroundings to be raised by their parents.
Unless the animal appears injured or in distress, there is no need to rescue them.
Signs that a wild animal needs help:
- Evidence of bleeding
- An apparent or obvious broken limb
- A featherless or nearly featherless bird on the ground
- A dead parent nearby
- Audible distress calls (fawn crying, etc) given over a prolonged period of time.

Species-specific signs
Baby Birds
Unlike most mammals, birds will not abandon their young if a person touches them. If a baby bird has fallen out of a nest, then you can put them back in their nest. If the original nest was destroyed or is too high to reach, then you can hang a small, shallow basket close to where you found the nest. Watch to make sure the adults return to the new or old nest within an hour. If they do not return, then contact a contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
Baby birds that are fully feathered and have short tail feathers are likely fledglings. Often, fledglings are seen hopping around on the ground and crying to their parents for food. Birds take time to learn how to fly, and fledging is part of the process! This stage takes several days, so it is best to keep pets away at this time.
When to step in: If a baby bird is injured, if you cannot reach the nest and/or the parents are not returning to the nest, or the parent is dead nearby then contact a wildlife rehabilitator.

Baby Deer (Fawns)
It is completely natural for a fawn to be left on its own for 6 hours or more. After the female deer (doe) gives birth and nurses the fawn, she will lead it into secluded habitat within her home range. Twin fawns can be separated by up to 200 feet. The doe then leaves for extended periods of time because her scent can attract predators. Fawns have little to no scent of their own. The doe returns periodically to nurse her fawns and to relocate them to new secluded habitat. This pattern will continue for up to 3 weeks.
Does are wary of human smells, so it is important not to touch fawns. If you have already handled the fawn, then take a towel, rub it in the grass, and then wipe down the fawn to remove the human scent. Return the fawn to the place where you found it.
When to step in: Only if a fawn is wandering and crying incessantly or laying on its side, then it is likely to need help. Please call a wildlife rehabilitator. that is authorized to possess fawns.
Baby Foxes
Baby foxes (kits) often are unsupervised for hours while their parents forage for food. If the kits appear energetic and healthy, then they should be left alone.
When to step in: If the kits appear sickly or weak and/or the parents are known to be dead, then contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
Fox kit by John White
Baby Rabbits
Young rabbits, like fawns, have little smell and are often left for hours on their own to prevent attracting predators. Baby rabbits found in a nest should be left alone. Also, it is best to keep pets away from nests to prevent conflicts.
When to step in: If you suspect the nest has been abandoned/the young have been orphaned and/or are injured then contact a wildlife rehabilitator. Females will only visit nests 2-3 times per day, so you can mark the nest with a grassy X to see if she visits. She will move the X but keep the nest covered. If she does not visit after a day, then it is time to call someone.

Baby Squirrels
Young squirrels often fall from nests. If a squirrel nest falls from a tree, or a younger squirrel falls out of a nest, then you can leave them for several hours for the mother to find them. If it is chilly, then you can place them in a shallow box with a blanket. The squirrels should not be covered to allow the female to find them.
When to step in: If the female doesn't return to care for the young after several hours, if the young didn't fall from the tree that day, and/or if the young are injured then call a wildlife rehabilitator.
Things to Remember
- Never handle an adult animal without first consulting a wildlife professional and without surveying the situation.
- Always wear thick gloves and other protective materials when handling wildlife.
- Place the animal in a safe container. Many songbirds can be placed in a paper bag while larger animals may need a cardboard box lined with something soft like a towel.
- Keep the container in a warm, quiet place away from pets and children until transport.
- Handle the animal as little as possible to reduce stress and transport as soon as possible.
- Do not feed the animal without consulting a professional first.
- During transport, try to keep as quiet as possible to minimize stress.

Loved the room- view- location to the beach. Great room , A very nice bar experienceStaff was excellent
I personally though food in dinning room was over priced for the quantityand the quality they offered. They have you there ,No local restaurants nearby. Its either eat there or bring in your own .They need two different menus ,Feature a burger menu too
Liked setting on beach
Our room was filthy , found a dead roach on bathroom floor, dehumidifier had an inch of muck in it, bed was not even a queen size suitable for 2 guests
Nice design. Clean rooms.
Toilets were old.
Location and friendly staff! Thanks for a wonderful stay:)
Loved the porch overlooking beautiful lake. Beach parking passes, convenient to town, nicely appointed
Not much service, pretty much on own to figure things out
The beautiful view from the deck right on Fort Pond. The interior of the room and bathroom was very clean cannot say the same for the exterior..
The exterior of the building needs some work. Numerous spider webs on the deck railing and the outside lighting. Had not been cleaned in months. When going through sliding doors to get on deck I had to crouch down the spider webs were huge.
Nice atmosphere
Convenient parking was very limited, the one time I got a close spot, staff called me at 10:30pm to move it because it was for the hotel's shuttle van. But the spot wasn't marked for the shuttle. I was annoyed at myself for agreeing to move it. The other lot was about 2 blocks away.
Great accommodations, beautiful location, easily accessible to other areas to explore. Nice restaurant, pool and outside bar. Rooms were clean, spacious and nice.
Nice Villa rooms.
My credit card information was stolen shortly after I booked the room online. I'm sure it wasn't anyone at the hotel, but something's fishy about the way the online transaction went...
It was located across the street from a public beach access and within a 5 minute walk to downtown Montauk, restaurants, and bars. It was relatively affordable. Clean rooms.
Most rooms are located west-side of S Emerson Ave; no oceanside rooms were even open (January). There was little soundproofing and we could hear our neighbors and water pipes all night. Rooms were very outdated. Paid for King bed, Queen bed in room.
The view of the ocean was great. Room was quiet and clean.
No tissues in the bathroom.

Will it support multiple cameras?
Will it support higher bandwidth than USB?
Will it have any decent general purpose driver support?
Is it just a phantom port like the one on the Beagle/Panda boards where there's not actually any camera on the market that connects to it?

"A picture perfect ending that I won't soon forget"
The showdown between Mab Monroe and Gin Blanco has been a long time coming; five books worth in fact but Spider's Revenge makes the wait worthwhile. Jennifer Estep doesn't waste any time and jumps right into the thick of things, she then proceeds to keep readers on edge, biting their nails up until the final pages with several close calls but not to worry, the Spider always gets her man woman.
I've been dishing out nothing but the highest of praise for the Elemental Assassin series ever since I read the first book back in September and this fifth installment will be no different. Aside from a few minor annoyances, namely Estep's need to constantly recap characters' and previous books' happenings, Spider's Revenge met all of my expectations and then some. Readers get to see a more fallible side to the fearless assassin which is to be expected when everything she holds dear is on the line. Emotions equal mistakes and in this installment we see Blanco's infamous patience slip on several occasions. Granted, it must be hard to not get twitchy when you have your arch nemesis in your crossbow scope but it was interesting to see Gin's calm demeanor crack.
For me, the gravy of these books have been Estep's riveting first person POV writing style and the non-stop action; never in a million years did I ever expect to find myself balling my eyes out but I did. Twice. The first instance was when all of Gin's friends rallied around her and adamantly refused to let her take on Mab alone. Blanco selfishly helped all of these people and when the going gets tough, they have her back. I loved watching the realization dawn on her that she's no longer alone in her corner; it brought tears to my eyes. It really did. The second instance was her near death encounter with her mentor, Fletcher Lane. Even though this character has been deceased since Spider's Bite, he's been a constant presence in Gin's life and I was overjoyed that she got the chance to ask him all of her burning questions. What I wouldn't give for the same chance.
This novel really felt like a conclusion but thankfully it's not; I don't think that I'll be ready to say goodbye to Gin Blanco anytime soon. The main and secondary plot lines come full circle is a neat symmetrical way including ending the book the same way that it all began. Many truths are unveiled including the facts about Sophia and her mangled voice. This tidbit alone makes this novel a worthwhile read in my opinion. Well that and the fact that Gin finally owns up to her feelings for Owen Grayson. Spider's Revenge is a picture perfect ending that I won't soon forget. I'm beyond anxious to begin the next chapter in Gin's life, By a Thread.
"Pulled out all the stops"
Whenever I just want to sit back, and enjoy a quality audiobook, I turn to Molly Harper & Amanda Ronconi. My last listening session with them was in June 2014, so clearly I was in desperate need of a fix because I finished THE DANGERS OF DATING A REBOUND VAMPIRE in one day. As soon as I clicked 'play' my smile was locked into place thanks to the fun quotes from The Office After Dark: A Guide to Maintaining a Safe, Productive Vampire Workplace—this installment's fictional how-to manual—and there it stayed.
We first met Gigi in I'M DREAMING OF AN UNDEAD CHRISTMAS, and it was nice to finally get the continuation of her story, and find out who her mysterious vampire stalker was. She's the last human in the Jameson / Scanlon circle, so I was curious to see whether she'd stay that way, or join the rest of the HALF-MOON HOLLOW supes. She's also the youngest POV to date which lightened Harper's already breezy writing style even more, and made her character's sometimes questionable decisions and go-with-the-flow attitude easier to grasp which is always beneficial in insta-love type situations.
The plot wasn't a brain buster, but still kept me on my toes, and I really enjoyed seeing Ophelia get kicked off her high horse. My favourite secondary, Dick Cheney, didn't have as much dialogue as I would have liked, although Nik was a pseudo Russian version of him which was an acceptable substitution. It was entertaining watching Iris in all of her overprotective big sister splendor, and how their group of friends banded together when Gigi's life was in danger. Plus, this author's latest batch of pop culture references were real winners: GAME OF THRONES & THE WALKING DEAD.
Amanda Ronconi pulled out all the stops once again with her exuberance, accents, voices, and sound effects. She's a pro at pinning down the emotions that each scene calls for, and always gives her 100% in every performance. Harper's sense of humour is increased tenfold by Ronconi's narration, and because of that I ALWAYS opt to listen over reading. I can't recommend Harconi enough; they are the benchmark by which I measure all Chick-Lit Paranormal Romance, and a MUST for all audiobook junkies.
THE DANGERS OF DATING A REBOUND VAMPIRE was like riding a killer water slide, except the whee lasted for 9+ hours.
"All hail The Spider!"
There's only a handful of series' where I will literally count the days between releases and Elemental Assassin is one of them. Gin kicks this installment off in true Spider style with blood on her hands and a body to dispose of. In Heart of Venom we finally see Blanco's cool, patient demeanor slip only to be replaced by an emotional, risk-taking one which is incredibly dangerous in her line of work but also an as-of-yet unexplored side of her character. It's personal this time around; you don't mess with Gin Blanco's friends and expect to live.
Part of the reason why Gin's been so successful in her career as a hired gun is in large part thanks to her ability to shelve her emotions while on a job. She does her homework, waits for the perfect shot and then makes her getaway. Granted, even the best laid plans tend to blow up in her face but regardless of the outcome, she always goes in with a cool head. Not this time. Blanco just reacts. Her friend is threatened and she goes barreling into an impossible situation guns blazing with no regard for her survival. The fact that Gin favors fire power over her trademark blades in this installment further reinforces her fragile emotional state by demonstrating her willingness to throw caution into the wind and let stealth be dammed. The Spider is s-c-a-r-y when she's mad; I pity the fool who incurred her wrath!
Sophia's always been a bit of a mystery; she doesn't talk much and is a pro at body disposal. The Deveraux sisters are an integral part of this series so I was thrilled at the prospect of learning more about one of my two favourite dwarves. We finally uncover the whys behind her goth wardrobe and her knack for getting rid of corpses. As anticipated, her reasons are even more disturbing than I could have possibly imagined. There's a nice little flashback to a scene that showcases the earlier stages of Sophia's friendship with Gin that took on a whole new meaning given the current circumstances. It was a fun extra and got me psyched for the next novel where we get to go back in time and witness the making of the assassin, The Spider. Fletcher's also still ever present in this series and I couldn't help but get a little teary eyed when Gin finds his file on Grimes. I'm hoping for more of him in the next installment as well.
Now to the crux of the matter, the question that everyone's been asking me since I read this book; what's the 4-1-1 on Owen? As the blurb suggests, there is progress on that front and I was satisfied with the way Estep attempted to redeem his character. Grayson really messed up, his heartfelt apology and actions speak volumes but the road to forgiveness is long and I approve of Gin's caution where he's concerned. As much as I love him and want them to get their HEA, I'm happy that Blanco didn't completely succumb to his boyish charm. Heart of Venom is definitely a turning point in their relationship and I think that readers will be appeased by this installment.
Heart of Venom exposes a different side of Gin, which after 9 installments is a feat in itself. I loved watching The Spider wreak havoc on her enemies in the name of friendship and family. Seeing Sophia, an incredibly resilient character, brought to her knees by her past was as emotional as it was enlightening. I've spent two books waiting to witness Owen's fight to win back the love of his life and he does not disappoint. Jennifer Estep and Gin Blanco are a winning combination that never gets old; all hail The Spider!
"I'm ALL IN!"
I wasn't sold on the direction the love thread was taking, but after listening to this installment, I'm ALL IN. Same goes for the Knights; their holier-than-thou attitude would have tested my patience eventually, however in DEATH MASKS they demonstrate that they aren't 100% black or white either. The Archive was some freaky deaky sh*t which leads me to believe that Butcher has only dipped his big toe in this universe's scope. The punches kept on coming in book 5, and with so many secondary plots intertwining, the story left me reeling in the best kind of way. I don't know if I'll be able to focus on anything else until BLOOD RITES is on my iPhone, locked & loaded. Goodbye weekend! ~ 4.5 stars
"Happy about the addition of a male narrator"
I've been procrastinating listening to this audiobook since November, but when Valentine's Day rolled around I decided that I was due for a guilty pleasure kind of title, and nothing fit the bill quite like Gideon & Ava Cross. I was also excited that this series FINALLY added a second narrator. As much as I've been enjoying Jill Redfield's performance, certain characters need that extra edge that only a male voice can bring, and I was hoping that Jeremy York would be up to the task. I wish that they'd read ALL of their respective personage's dialogues rather than just their specific chapters, but that's a common complaint of mine with dual readings. However, other than that, I had no issues with either of the narrators. My problems were with the lack of advancement on any front. Gideon & Ava are still struggling with the exact same obstacles only different versions of them, the story arc didn't really go anywhere, and the ending left me feeling like the next novel was going to be more of the same. CAPTIVATED BY YOU was like watching a dog try to catch its tail; painful and an exercise in futility.
"Not your typical Ilona Andrews audiobook"
This wasn't your typical Ilona Andrews audiobook in that the magic system existed on a much smaller scale with it being confined to inns, but that's not to say that the world-building was by any means limited. In fact, if anything, it was larger than any of this author duo's other titles because the INNKEEPER CHRONICLES was closer to being Science Fiction than it was Urban Fantasy given that the characters originate from multiple planets. The wheel wasn't reinvented with regards to the typical paranormal beasties such as vampires & werewolves, although they did have several distinguishing traits that set them apart from other novels in this genre. Much to my dismay, a love triangle seems to be developing; however if any team is capable of making it work, it's Ilona & Gordon. The humor and writing were aces, no surprises there, and Renée Raudman's narration gave the story that extra somethin'-somethin' that keeps me choosing audio over eBook every time this trio releases something new.
"Snoopy happy dance!"
Jeaniene Frost is renowned the world over for her oh-my-god-is-it-hot-in-here scenes, but she can also rock the dark like nobody's business, and readers were reminded of that fact with a vengeance in BOUND BY FLAMES. Graphic torture anyone? I'm talking flaying, limb amputation, silver poisoning, starvation, and pseudo rape. This installment was originally intended to be the finale of the NIGHT PRINCE series; however after listening to book 3, I can understand why the author decided to axe that plan. A new super villain has risen, Vlad & Leila didn't get their HEA, and there's still plenty of story left to tell!
I've had a jumbo crush on Tepesh ever since his character debuted as a secondary in Frost's NIGHT HUNTRESS novels, and it's steadily grown into an all out obsession with this spin-off series. He could easily be king of the bad guys if it weren't for Mrs. Dracula which makes him the ultimate antihero. We got to see a more vulnerable side to Vlad in this installment while as Leila was all steel and resolve. The balance of power in their relationship has been markedly one-sided until now, so I loved the role reversal, and as expected, the author didn't hold back on the ravishing either. *winks*
Maximus drove me nutso in the best kind of way, and I was happy that Leila's father finally saw reason after his prolonged silent treatment of his daughter. Marty was as primo as always, and my hankering for a Cat & Bones cameo was quenched, although it's worth pointing out that their part was somewhat spoiler-y if you haven't read UP FROM THE GRAVE yet. Mencheres also popped in to say hi which made my character driven self very jubilant. You'll notice that I'm glossing over the plot, and that's because it puts to bed the main story arc, so I'm not willing to risk accidentally spilling the beans, but it's DA BOMB!
This was my first time listening to a NIGHT PRINCE audiobook, however I was already acquainted with Tavia Gilbert as a narrator, so I had zero quibbles about her performance going in. Her renditions of both of the protagonists were on par with those that I had inside my head prior to her voice taking them over. I'm a sucker for accents, and her English (Bones), Romanian (Vlad), and New Orleans (Marie) vernacular left me tickled pink. I'm still trying to determine whether it was the narration or the writing that has me dubbing this as my favourite installment, either way, I loved it!
BOUND BY FLAMES will make you break out into a Snoopy happy dance!
"This book was for all of the Iced haters"
This novel was obviously for all of the ICED haters out there, so if you fall into that category, you'll probably love BURNED. As for the rest of us, this installment was a tremendous letdown. Karen Marie Moning tried to right the wrongs of book 6 by reshaping several of the characters into more 'acceptable' versions of themselves, distracting readers from this story's numerous plot holes with an outrageous amount of POVs, and taking the easy (predictable) road twist-wise instead of the one less traveled. It wasn't awful, I still enjoyed the writing, narration, and being back in this world, but the FEVER edge is gone.
I kind of wish that I'd bypassed this audiobook altogether because it completely obliterated the Mac & Barrons of old. Some HEAs should NOT be revisited! Apparently sex has fried Miss Lane's brain, and she's now a halfwit unworthy of the nine's respect more concerned with talking to herself than saving Dublin. Jericho ghosts through this novel, finally avenges his lover, but not really because he doesn't unleash his beast for her. Their chemistry as a couple is dead, and instead in its wake we're left with heaps of empty steam. And, the source of this installment's title was just another log on the fire of LAME.
I don't have nearly enough fingers to count how many POVs we cycled through. Something definitely needed to be done about Dani's age in order for this series to continue on its current trajectory, however KMM's solution was entirely too child-proof. As was her time-saving use of the Sinsar Dubh, and the supposed cliff hanger was a two-bit sneeze in comparison to those from previous books. Ryo underwent a major personality overhaul which so didn't suit him, and I really wish that the author had built upon the new Unseelie arc. I liked learning more about the nine, Lor's scenes were fantastic, and Jada showed promise, but they were just duct tape, not a permanent fix.
The narrators were the heart and soul of this audiobook. If I were to rate this listen based wholly on their performances, it would be a resounding five. Phil Gigante's voice gave me shivers when JZB's words fell flat, and I loved the subtle variations of his Scottish accents when he was reading the MacKeltars. Natalie Ross did a comparably awesome job of the female characters with her Irish fluctuations, and somehow managed to bring excitement to a story that would have otherwise been boring without her leading the charge. I also appreciated that both narrators gave an echo / cave-like quality to the internal dialogues, it made them easy to spot.
BURNED is an island that would have been better left unexplored in the FEVER realm.
"Oh where, oh where has this series' plot gone?"
This audiobook was #4 on my most anticipated reads of 2015 list, so it's with a heavy heart that I give it 3-stars. The dystopian universe created by Kresley Cole in THE ARCANA CHRONICLES that I've come to adore was dwarfed by this series' love triangle, and the plot whittled down to Evie's boy toy choice. Now, perhaps I'm slightly bitter because she didn't go with the team that I was rooting for, but in the end that really didn't seem to matter because the author threw another cliffhanger at us making the heroine's decision moot.
My primary fascination with these novels stemmed from the world-building's link to Tarot, and so far we've met new cards in every installment, until DEAD OF WINTER. Ok, that's not entirely accurate because The High Priestess and The Emperor threw their lot in with the rest, and we also learned more about The Lovers and The World's abilities, however these elements were so microscopic in comparison to the drama between Evie / Jack / Aric that I barely took note of them. I did enjoy the flashbacks to what happened to Death and the Cajun post ENDLESS KNIGHT, but again, I needed more.
This story was all about the love triangle which just plain sucked because the trio wound up working together for the better part of this book, and that in turn lead to angst, angst, and more angst. Subsequently, all of the originality was siphoned out of this series in favour of the biggest Young Adult trope of them all. In the past, I've liked the apocalyptic flavour of THE ARCANA CHRONICLES, yet this latest installment was no longer about surviving Baggers, cannibals, and the game, but rather what boy Evie Greene's heart belonged to. Yes, that quagmire was solved, except no, not really.
Emma Galvin's narration was like a lighthouse in a storm because without her delivery to keep me listening, I most likely would have finished this audiobook in a week instead of two days. I enjoyed the intensity with which she performed this tale, and the slower pace at which she reads this series definitely draws you in. Jack piles on the French in this novel, and that was unfortunate because Galvin's mastery of that language really leaves something to be desired, but she tried her best, and this particular shortcoming is only noticeable to francophones, so I let it slide.
DEAD OF WINTER could have been a grand conclusion to THE ARCANA CHRONICLES; instead there will be a book 4.
"Werewolves, lycantropes, hexenwolves & loup-garou!"
I enjoyed this installment more than book 1; the narration was much improved, it had chapters (I need order in my reads), and the story showcased countless different types of werewolves. The cast of secondary characters were wonderful as was Dresden's POV. The author's dark humour is catchy, and the action sequences were heart-stopping, especially the one in the police station. Whoa Nelly!
"Cover aside, this audiobook rocked!"
I loved this first glimpse into Ilona Andrews' HIDDEN LEGACY world; the magic was fascinating, the characters were insta-hits, and the plot just didn't quit. Mad Rogan was everything I wanted in a bad boy—a powerful, borderline sociopath with mega sex appeal—and, Nevada was an absolute delight. Renée Raudman's narration was flawless, the family dynamics of the Baylor clan leaped off the pages, and the romantic elements left me anxious to listen to the next installment. 4.5 stars.

Bedford group trained, ready to handle unexpected emergencies
"Basically not everybody is available all the time and we want to have 40 members, so in the event there's a disaster such as a flood or an emergency we'll have a rotating list to tap into," said Bernard. "Anybody can apply and take the basic training, but to be a CERT member you have to be a resident."
Michaud said the team has been called to direct traffic 19 times, and has helped out during six emergencies including bad accidents, and four fires in town. Bedford is one of 27 CERT groups in the state, joining about 4,000 across the U.S., he said.

SHANTI VANA, India _ Rajiv Gandhi, dutiful son, circled his mother's body seven times and touched her face lightly with a burning piece of sandalwood.
Then, as hundreds of thousands watched, he lighted the logs soaked in ghee (clarified butter) underneath her.
The 40-year-old Gandhi, who had already taken over his mother's office as prime minister, was now fulfilling his role as sole, surviving son, consigning her to eternity in the ancient Indian rite
of cremation.
As the flames leaped higher, he and other mourners erected a pyramid of logs over her flower-covered red sari, and Hindu priests chanted mantras and prayers beseeching that her remains be scattered to the air and ground, the wind and water. White smoke curled into the air.
The estimated 400,000 Indians swarming over the grassy flats beside the Yamuna River raised cry after cry of tribute to the assassinated government chief, the woman who had led the country for 15 years.
*The entire staff, the late Foreign Editor Nate Polowetzky and visiting writers, including and legendary photographer Horst Faas helped.
Town Lives Up To Afrikaans Name
WEENEN, South Africa _This town has lived up to its name, an Afrikaans word for weeping.
Neil Alcock, a white man know for 20 years as a peacemaker among Zulus, was ambushed and slain with five tribal elders while trying to settle a deadly feud.
During a two-week period in November of 1971 two planes were hijacked over Montana, where I was working for United Press International. They were among the first of a wave of hijackings. The first skyjacker, Paul Cini, was overpowered by the crew.
The second was by the legendary D.B. Cooper, who parachuted from the back of a jet and was never seen again.
More than a decade later, legendary mercenary Col. Mad Mike Hoare, traveling with 40 men disguised as a rugby team, attempted a coup in the Seychelles and when it failed hijacked an Air Indian jet and forced the pilot to fly it to South Africa, where he and his men were arrested.
I flew to Durban, where they landed. When I told the desk there were 40 hijackers they didn't want to believe me.
LEADVILLE, Colo. _ In 1882, Oscar Wilde visited this rough-and-tumble mining town high in the Rockies and read the works of Renaissance author Benvenuto Cellini to a group of townspeople.
The crowd liked it so much they asked Wilde why he hadn't brought the writer along. Wilde explained that Cellini was dead.
"Who shot him?" someone in the crowd asked.
As of Friday, the mines that enriched Margaret Brown and her family made Leadville a tough and pitiless Wild West outpost are all gone. But while the place is a far cry from its heyday, when 40,000 people packed the city, Leadville is no ghost town.
In fact, Leadville is booming again, a growing middle-class community of charming Victorian homes.
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE _ American and Russian officers claimed success Friday in their joint effort to make certain there were no accidental nuclear missile launches because of the Y2K computer bug.
There was a little rush of excitement when U.S. monitors detected a Russian missile being launched at Chechna.
We all went home early because once no missiles had been launched in the first hours of Russian time we knew the threat was over.
IN THE TENERE REGION OF THE SAHARA (AP) First it appeared like confetti in the endless sand. Then big chunks of fuselate shattered in the crash that killed all 171 aboard, came into view.
It was hard to imagine in a low-level flight over the scene that the pieces ever came together to form a jumbo jet.
Investigators in the Tenere Desert, the heart of the Sahara, worked in 113-degree heat Thursday to determine a cause for the crash of the Paris-bound DC-10 two days earlier.
They recovered the flight and voice recorders from the wreckage, a spokesman at the French Foreign Ministry in Paris said Thursday night.
Blackened bodies were scattered across the desert.
The dead included seven Americans.
More than 20 years later Gaddafi was paid back when he was killed by his own people, rebelling against his tyranny.
Mangily Grave, Madagascar -- Among the Malagasy people, a funeral once was an occasion for an orgy and members of the Sakalava clan left nothing to the imagination when they carved statues of their departed ancestors in the act of making love.
Later they sometimes took corpses from graves to join parties.
Tourists pillaged the art, causing the government to ban the carving of erotic sculptures.
PINE JUNCTION, Colo. _ Down the mountain road, freshly scrawled signs thank firefighters "for saving our dreams." Patsy and Steve Kruzek have only memories.
"This place may be beautiful again, but not in my lifetime," said Patsy, standing outside the stone basement of what had been a three-story home.
It was all that was left of a 35-acre holding probably worth $350,000.
Smoke tufted up next to the statue of a howling coyote, who almost seemed to be feeling the couple's pain.
It could have been a promotion stunt when a man wearing black, a bullet-proof vest and a gas mask kicked in the door. A shooting scene was on the screen. But "Dark Knight Rises" was not a 3D film. And this was real.
Not far away I had been at a showing of Prometheus, and outside the theater there was a promotion with a man dressed as Batman. When I awoke this morning it truly was Columbine, déjà vu, for a reporter who had covered that school massacre.
Without saying a word last night, a killer rolled smoke cannisters down the aisle and began firing, apparently with two handguns and a long gun. At least 12 people in the audience, which included many children, were fatally wounded in theater 9 in the Century 16 in Aurora.
The End of Privacy
In this century it appears the loss of anonymity will be more shocking than the loss of virginity.
Two events that resulted in deaths, and both involve the Internet at least tangentially, signal the need for a reexamination of privacy.
Is it even possible in a world with surveillance cameras wherever you turn? Drones aren't only used in Afghanistan.
In the Princeton suicide case of Tyler Clementi his predator had figured out how to set up a remote control viewing of his sex with an older gay man.
LITTLETON, Colo. _ Two young men in fatigues and black trench coats attacked fellow students with guns and explosives in a suicide mission at Columbine High School in Denver's suburbs, killing 12 students and one teacher.The gunmen were later found dead in the library.
On that horrible day, tears often welling in my eyes, there was one spot of brightness. First a small batch, then another, followed by a cascade of flowers that buried a small tree in Clement Park. I felt like I was at Lourdes.
Washington Post
BULLETIN: Two suspects in Colorado school shooting dead
Tuesday, April 20, 1999; 6:03 p.m. EDT
LITTLETON, Colo. -- Two people whom witnesses described as young men dressed in long, black trench coats opened fire in a suburban Denver high school today, scattering students as gunshots ricocheted off lockers. At least 20 people were injured, including one girl shot nine times. The teen gunmen killed 12 students, one teacher and themselves.
Saturday. Dec. 14, 2013
Denver - In Colorado's state capitol building a Democrat was being sworn in as the newest state senator. A few miles to the south, a teen gunman wounded two people with a shotgun before blowing his brains out.
More than a thousand miles away, on the East Coast, families and victims were preparing to commemorate the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook shootings in Newtown, Conn. What do three stories have in common?

VAIL, Colo. _ Christopher Reeve didn't walk by the time he turned 50, as he once vowed, but giving up wasn't in the vocabulary of the articulate former Juilliard student.
Instead, he kept speaking around the country, finishing a second book, battling to restrictions on research that could lead to a cure to his paralysis, and exercising almost daily.
"There will be a cure. It is very important for me to stay in the best possible condition to be prepared," he said in an interview at a weekend fund-raising
event for the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
It seemed so horrible when I first heard
Though that Kabul suicide bombing blast lent just the right tone
For the day some said would be the apocalypse
But if it were really true would we have even heard
It only takes a few minutes to get over things these days anyway
And if there is even a faint pulse a bloody pulp can be kept alive
When a bullet to the head would be more merciful
Or bullets to the chest and head like Bin Laden
Those covered in blood learn so many neutral ways to explain it
Things not even a Primo Levi would try to make sense of
Let's just call it post-traumatic stress disorder
Because there are so many neutral ways
To tell stories that shouldn't even be imagined Let alone told
A rape is a sexual assault
A bloody bombing is the work of "militants"
Kind of makes you wonder what you call really bad people
It's unlikely a Shakespeare or Camus would be up to it
Better left to an Edgar Allan Poe or even Stephen King
But our world clearly passed even them by years...
Although I had once covered a Hollywood gorilla, during the making of King Kong outside the World Trade Centers, later in Gabon I met the real thing.
A primatologist accidentally let a lowland gorrilla out of its cage. It threw a forearm at me, cracking the lens filter case on my Nikon. Meanwhile, the primatologist slid under a baboon cage for shelter. She told me to close the gate and go get help. I was torn, could I leave her there within reach of the gorrilla?
I certainly didn't think I could help. But I wasn't sure I could even close the gate and didn't want to be the next target of the gorrilla. So I ran up the hill screaming in French that the guerrilla had escaped.
All ended well when the boss came down and setthe 400-pound animal. This did not become a news story but made the AP Log, and I was reimbursed for the cracked lens filter. I later met apes on two different assignments, without getting smacked.
Robert Weller, Chief of the Associated Press bureaus in Alaska, had the rare experience of joining Eskimo whale hunters in 1978 their pursuit of the bowhead whale on the Bering Sea. Here is his account."
Only walrus hide a quarter-inch thick separates the whaling crew from the icy Bering Sea. At times you can see the water through the skin of the boat.
Leonard Apangalook, the captain works the sails skillfully to search in silence for the bowhead whale.
Preston Apangalook - the crew is made up of the four Apangalook brothers - is ready to toss the harpoon if a whale draws near. Paul stands lookout.The other brother, Mike, helps Leonard monitor CB radio traffic in Eskimo dialect on whale sightings.
As a long-time skier I had considerable experience with cold. And I wore a $500 Arctic World AP had bought for me in 1976. Still, sitting still, I felt like I would only be warm if I was cremated like Robert Service's Sam McGee.
STARWOOD, Colo. _ John Denver could make himself understood with a smile, whether in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Africa during a famine or with Kermit the Frog.
Stuck in an African town on the other side of the world from his beloved Aspen he couldn't resist taking out a guitar and playing "Darcy Farrow" when this reporter mentioned how much he loved it.
Our friendship didn't end in Africa. I first met him again in Alaska and later several times in Colorado. I also covered his funeral and musical made as a tribute, "Almost Heaven."
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. _ Flames trapped firefighters battling a fierce wildfire on Wednesday, killing at least 14.
About 50 firefighters were trapped and overcome by flames as they fought the 500-acre (200-hectare) fire on Storm King Mountain west of here, said Garfield County Undersheriff Levy Burris.
The Weather Service had warned deadly winds could cause the fire to erupt, but somehow the message didn't reach everyone. And some of the victims, from Oregon, were not familiar with the vegetation and how readily it burned.
Hunter Couldn't Take Getting Old
ASPEN, Colo. - Hunter S. Thompson, the hard-living writer who inserted himself into his accounts of America's underbelly and popularized a first-person form of journalism in books such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," has committed suicide.
Thompson was found dead Sunday in his Aspen-area home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's officials said. He was 67. Thompson's wife, Anita, had gone out before the shooting and was not home at the time. His son, Juan, found the body.
Thompson "took his life with a gunshot to the head," the wife and son said in a statement released to the Aspen Daily News. The statement asked for privacy for Thompson's family and, using the Latin term for Earth, added, "He stomped terra."
Remember this: The only ones who know where the edge is are the ones who have gone over it. Miss you my Gonzo friend.

Chairman Debbie Matz schedules a board vote affirming Vice Chairman Rick Metsger's appointment.
Former NCUA Board Member David Chatfield says Rick Metsger's appointment to vice chairman could be valid, but looks bad.
Metsger could serve as chairman if Matz is unavailable and could also have political implications.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. —The NCUA Board on Thursday approved a proposed rule that would eliminate the 5% fixed assets cap.
