Q: Why does hair turn grey?
A: Grey (or white) is merely the base "colour" of hair. Pigment cells located at the base of each hair follicle produce the natural dominant colour of our youth. However, as a person grows older and reaches middle age, more and more of these pigment cells die and colour is lost from individual hairs. The result is that a person's hair gradually begins to show more and more grey.
The whole process may take between 10 and 20 years - rarely does a person's entire collection of individual hairs (which, depending on hair loss, can number in the hundreds of thousands) go grey overnight. Interestingly, the colour-enhancing cells often speed up pigment production as we age, so hair sometimes darkens temporarily before the pigment cells die.

Scenario Feedback - Crypt of the Forgotten Kings (Heroic)
With the next 5.3 PTR update all of the new Scenarios will be available for testing, and we want to hear what you think!
While we welcome any feedback, we're specifically interested in hearing about the
versions. We're developing the Heroic versions to be both challenging and rewarding to max-level players, similar to a Heroic dungeon. We want to make sure when they go live they'll be something max level players are excited about doing, and so we want to know what you think.
What did you like?
What didn't you like?
What's the ilvl of the character you used and your current in-game focus? (Raids, LFR, PvP, etc.)
Did you find it challenging?
Does the new bonus objective system offer a unique and rewarding challenge?
Do you think you'll be participating in them once they're live, and why or why not?
Anything else you want to add?
Thanks for spending some time on the PTR!

Waterfalls, wineries, butterfly conservatory, botanical gardens and romance…Oh my!
Last month we had the pleasure of being escorted around Niagara Falls to visit some key wedding locations with the lovely and talented, Sue Zareski, the Niagara Parks Wedding and Social Sales Manager (who also just happens to be a WPIC Alumni.)
Let me just say on record, that I don't recall ever having so much fun on site inspections in my entire life! (I've been on quite a few over the last decade, too.)
Niagara Parks Weddings has a great website full of useful tips and locations to get you started.
We were lucky enough to go to see these great locations and have a FAB lunch at Elements on the Falls.
Butterfly Conservatory & Outdoor Terrace- Here we had a laugh and a half! Beautiful space but the snake pavilion threw us off. You see, we didnt realize that the snakes were in the cages. We thought they were loose in the pavilion, and couldn't grasp the concept of why a couple would be okay with that, considering it could be dangerous. (Kim really wasn't okay with this…) Luckily, Sue Zareski was there to fill us in after Kim's complete and utter meltdown, LOL!

This week, EMF explains why there was no Weekend Reader last week! Oh, and more Fallout Equestria.
EMF falls out with Equestria, part 16: LittlePip Does Some More Stuff (A.K.A. The Weekend Reader The Movie: Rocktavia and the Legend Awakened)
- EMF Scootaloo
The reason there was no Weekend Reader last week was because I felt terrible. It went away fairly quickly, but it was unpleasant and I just wanted to rest. It was like I was coming down with the flu, but I didn't come down with the flu. I don't know what gave.
Um… that's all I have to say, really. Unless you want me to go on about Pokémon again, but let's be honest, lush plains with happy mutant animal things are not what you came here to see. You came here to see bleak wastelands with unhappy mutant animal things. And I'm going to deliver!
SteelHooves did a surprisingly good job of dodging flak.
Rocky eating montage! Du-duuuu-duuuuu…
In a flashback, Homage's friend didn't press E fast enough.
LittlePip became a bigger badass than Calamity for the first time since Chapter 7.
War remained the same.
The fanfic was still gory.
We cut to the middle of the night wherein LittlePip sits up suddenly because she saw a flash outside the window. Unfortunately, it didn't stop to save every one of them, though that was probably because it'd be a really stupid ending if it did. Homage tells her it's probably a balefire phoenix and then they both drift off again.
Homage cooks breakfast because she's the kind of mare who cooks breakfast and I'm now imagining her with an apron on frying something over a cooker though there probably aren't any aprons available in the wasteland so that's a pretty silly thing to be imagining. She also goes and talks up LittlePip as the greatest thing since sliced bread again because that's what she does she's HOMAGE GUYS. HOMAGE IS HOMAGE. IF HOMAGE WASN'T HOMAGE SHE WOULDN'T BE CALLED HOMAGE. SHE'D PROBABLY BE VINYL SCRATCH OR SOMETHING.
So LittlePip remembers that she has to ask her love interest about the Black Opal because Watcher told her to. Homage agrees to give her it to her in exchange for completing a sidequest. LittlePip is heading for Fillydelphia anyway (to take down John Henry Eden though I don't think he's a computer in this), but Homage wants her to help her gain access to the Fillydelphia tower so that she can use the cameras to give the wasteland the truth, no matter how bad it hurts.
LittlePip agrees, obviously.
She acquires a Pinkie Pie statuette and puts it with her Twilight statuette because it 'feels right'.
she gets the Alien Blaster.
I'm not kidding. We're only halfway through this story and
she already has the Alien Blaster. Well, at least we know the next few chapters are just going to be LittlePip curbstomping everything until she runs out of ammo and Calamity has to save her but she blacks out and wakes up with Velvet Remedy tending to her wounds!
Also Homage goes on about how the zebras cringe from the sky because they believe in aliens. But god damnit,
So LittlePip decides to look into the Black Opal before she takes it to Watcher because curiosity always ends up killing the Pip. In it, the Mane 6 (minus Rainbow Dash, for some reason) are going somewhere. But Pip isn't any of them. Oh no. Pip gets to be Spike and stare at Rarity all day.
So after a lot of staring at Rarity, we see Rainbow Dash leap out from behind some curtains in some scorpion armour stuff and Fluttershy absolutely freak. Rainbow Dash declares the armour to be 'cool'.
And LittlePip decides she never wants to be a dragon again.
LittlePip leaves Tenpony Tower. Steelhooves approaches her and they talk for a bit about Watcher. Apparently Steelhooves knows Watcher; Watcher goes around setting good ponies on the path to friendship. And most of the time they subsequently die, because heck, this is the Equestrian Wasteland. Not happy-happy-fun-time-Ponyville-Cutie-Mark-Crusaders-Go-Crusading fare.
Watcher shows up and asks LittlePip to put the Black Opal in the compartment that eyebots have for batteries.
To every reader's surprise, she says no. She says that she's only giving it to Watcher in person. She has a short epic moment before Watcher backs down and updates her PipBuck. Unfortunately, the location is weeks away. Also, they have to walk. So they walk.
Wait, never mind, no they don't. They have the Skyranger! Calamity finishes fixing it up and it takes all of five seconds for Velvet Remedy to talk about decorating it. Nobody's really enthusiastic about that idea except her. Well, what is there to decorate it with? You don't even have aprons.
And then suddenly a balefire phoenix appears and decides to land on the seat next to Velvet Remedy. Needless to say, Velvet pulls a Rarity.
*timeskip of one day goes here*
So Velvet Remedy decides to call her new pet phoenix Pyrelight, causing me to change the image for this edition because I forgot it was this chapter. Also, she keeps going into that one Fluttershy memory orb. Steelhooves interjects with his amazing knowledge of all things Mane 6 by explaining that Rainbow Dash wanted to win the war, Applejack wanted to protect other ponies and Twilight wanted to please the princesses. But Fluttershy, being Fluttershy, just wanted the war to end. The memory orb contained the time she decided to throw her entire ministry into finding a way to end the war.
Her idea was good, in theory. She ended up creating a weapon so devastating, so horrifyingly powerful, that hopefully neither side would want to continue the war in fear that one side would use the weapon against the other. Maybe create a cold war, but stop innocent lives from ending.
She made a miscalculation that shaped the history of Equestria.
Fluttershy, in her quest for peace, created the Equestrian wasteland.
There is no music.
So they go above the clouds and oh hey I have music for this.
Did I ever tell you guys how amazing the music for Legends of Equestria is? Because it's pretty amazing.
So they go above the clouds and LittlePip gets an overwhelming sense of vertigo from looking up. So she looks down instead, and locates an audio recorder. The team take a detour to go get it and then continue their ascent.
However, LittlePip has just discovered the name of Watcher's humble abode.
'Dragon Cave'.
So there's someone in Dragon Cave who wants a memory orb relating to the Mane 6? I wonder…
They enter the cave and Velvet Remedy channels Admiral Ackbar and suggests that Watcher is just sending them here to be eaten and that the whole situation is, in fact, a trap. LittlePip takes point and advances into the cave, but she doesn't get far before something moves in the darkness.
A dragon pops his head out of the gloom and introduces himself as Spike.
So after that plot twist, it's that time again! Yes, that time. No, not hammer time, you idiot. Analysis time.
I read it for this Whoa, Jesus! How much more exciting can this get? I mean, balefire phoenixes? Finally leaving the safety of Tenpony? Starting towards Fillydelphia? Spike?
Characters: I think this was the part where Kkat rightly decided to move our heroes out of Tenpony before it got too stale, so there wasn't too much here. What there was was good, though.
LittlePip: This is the part of the story where LittlePip decides she's a strong grey mare who don't need no stallion! Good on you, LittlePip!
Calamity: What were you doing this whole time that wasn't repairing the Skyranger? (Yes, I know it's the Sky Bandit…) For that matter, why wasn't Velvet Remedy doing anything of use either? I doubt you two were just twiddling your non-existent thumbs that whole time…
Velvet Remedy: Now, Velvet, my dear, I cannot express my delight!~
It's abundantly clear,
That somewhere out here,
Is the pet that will suit you just right!~
SteelHooves: He was the sole witness to Grim Star's death. He had an excuse. Calamity and Velvet Remedy did not have excuses. There's something fishy going on here…
Homage: Where are the aprons? No, seriously, where are the aprons? Someone draw Homage in an apron. It needs to happen. It. Needs. To happen!
Spelling and Grammar: Definitely passable. One mistake today.
Okay, now I just want to start reading this in my spare time again. I can now recall why I was so hooked. I'm only about a chapter ahead of the Reader at this point.

31 year old man | Champlin, MN, USA | Seeking women 24-30 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
well that was a fun 6 months... .
can wink back but not email or respond to them, first 6 months were not great so I have not renewed. The people that I consider close friends would probably say I'm outgoing but not crazy. I will try almost anything once. The person that would be a good companion for me should be active since I rarely spend a whole weekend at home. I am either out at a friends house, up at the cabin, on the local lakes, ridding motorcycles (when I have one, just sold mine for a new water toy), or finding new interesting places to spend time with friends. That being said I still enjoy an evening at home with a board game, movie, or bonfire with the right company. I am looking for an attractive woman who is confident in herself. She may not know what she wants in life yet or she may have it all laid out. Family and friends are also very important to me so my future someone should expect that I will continue to spend time with them as I expect her to maintain her current relationships. I don't have a typical type other then the fact that the girls I get along best with tend to have more guy friends than girl friends. I think that is because I spend so much time outdoors, especially during the summer months. I like someone that can be spontaneous and if the moment is right can get ready to go get ice cream on short notice. I am not opposed to taking time to get ready for a special night out but like someone that can also be impulsive. I am open to almost anyone that can express herself and considers themselves attractive in some way. I don't think this really describes me as well as it should or lays out what I'm exactly looking for but I have always been better expressing myself verbally so if this has peaked your interest at all there may be a lot more there. You may notice in my pictures I go from beard to no beard, it changes with the seasons and my mood, currently there is no beard. On a side note I wink before emailing to see if there is any mutual interest first ;-)

I like Dogs
I owned a black lab growing up and I loved him. I really would like to own another dog but I won't get one until I have the time to devote to it. I don't think it's fair to leave an animal locked up for 8 hours a day.
Zorbaz when I'm up at the lake. Non-chain ice cream parlors like Selmas and out of the way restaurants are always something I enjoy trying. I enjoy dive bars and new interesting places. I tend to go to where my friends are, our a mutual meeting spot
Iowa State University of Science and Technology, Ames, IA
If its raining a good movie and companion cant be beat. I love to grill and enjoy most foods. TV Channels are typically History, Discovery, and learning channels. I do read the paper and watch the news. I like warm fall days and cool summer nights.
I am a young professional that enjoys being active. I am an extrovert so on the weekends I like to spend my time with friends and family. I like physical activities but also enjoy reading, conversation on current events, or watching a good movie.
The last book I read was Into Thin Air, other then that I read the paper daily either online or in the break room. I don't subscribe to magazines anymore, although in the past I have. I enjoy reading I just need more recommendations on good books.

There's no real reason for me to bring up this story, except that it made me laugh, and also I suppose there's a lesson in here about genres and writers' abilities (or lack thereof) to switch gears.
So here's the deal: Danielle Steel is writing about a hippo:
HarperCollins Publishers announced today that it has acquired world rights to The Happiest Hippo in the World, a children's picture book by international bestselling author Danielle Steel. The new book, by the author of 88 adult novels, including Honor Thyself, Sisters, and the "Max and Martha" series for children, tells the story of a baby hippo who happens to be born green instead of gray and learns with the help of a little boy to love himself despite being different. Both delightful and heartwarming, the book was written by Ms. Steel for her son Nicholas Traina when he was little and is expected to be published in Fall 2009. Illustrations will be by celebrated artist Margaret Spengler.
It all sounds very charming, and in fact Ms. Steel has already penned books for children (did you know that? I didn't), so why does this news make me giggle madly?
All I can think is that maybe the happy hippo discovers that the gruff handyman has a heart of gold after all.
Or that maybe the happy hippo had sworn off love, only to be swept off his feet by a handsome stranger.
Or perhaps the happy hippo, in finding himself, discovers that everything he needed had been right under his nose all along!
(Why yes, I did read a fair amount of Danielle Steel when I was younger… why do you ask?)
I hope it's a wonderful book. But I have to say, the very idea of handing a Danielle Steel book to kids just makes me twitch, ever so slightly. It feels wrong, you know? I can't help it. (Oh! Do you think the cover will show the hippo with long, flowing hair, clutching at his bosom? I sure hope so.) (See? I can't stop.)

Hunter S. Thompson, Conan and big guns
By Tony Hicks
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 at 1:19 pm in Uncategorized.
As Conan O'Brien counts down the days until he switches time slots on NBC, he's recalling some of his favorite moments: one of which was the day he spent shooting guns and drinking whiskey with Hunter S. Thompson.
This was the day many of us wish we could've had with Hunter before he killed himself. My favorite part of the video is when Hunter, after firing on a cut-out of Bill Buckner, suddenly screams "you dirty ANIMAL."

The Cotton Everyday Bib is ideal for those stages where baby is drooling at a waterfall-like pace, or to pair with first solid foods that can be messy and runny. The bibs are made out of organic terry cloth, and comes with satin trim in your choice of colors - blue, rose or sage. For newborns, the bib and burp cloth set makes a perfect gift for baby's first year of life. Four adorable designs are available and are as affordable as many other brand's sets.
Cloth diapers are a must to many eco-savvy parents who don't want to toss out countless disposables during those pre-potty training years. Bumkins make cloth diapers cool again with cloth diaper covers that come in a variety of sizes, colors and patterns that are fun to wear and also functional enough to trust when you're away from home. They are washable and provide adequate leg coverage, even to slender, long-legged babies that don't usually fit into mainstream diapering sets.
When it comes time to get going with solid foods, you're going to want a bib that's up to the challenge. A 3-pack of SuperBibs will be your best bet. There is even a sleeved version for those extremely enthusiastic eaters.
Finally, for all of those diapers, clothes, and bibs, you need a place to stash the yuck away from baby's clean items. Order a Dirty Duds bag to finish off your Bumkins order. Waterproof and available in a trendy design appropriate for both boy and girl nurseries, you'll love using this bag for everything from soiled diapers to wet swimsuits on the way back home from the beach.

Kampala — THE World Food Programme (WFP) has stopped food aid to about 214,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in northern Uganda.
"Since January, the programme phased out food aid for about 66,000 IDPs in Pader district, more than 58,000 others in Amuru district, about 60,000 in Kitgum and another 27,000 in Gulu district," the country director, Stanlake Samkange, said.
He said the move was taken after consultation with humanitarian partners and district leaders.
Samkange said according to assessments conducted in 2008, security had improved in the area and IDPs had access to farming land.
"Malnutrition has decreased and is now below 10%," he said.
Samkange added that WFP would continue to monitor the food situation to avoid a relapse.
"At the same time, we will support IDPs with recovery initiatives like cash and vouchers, to help them rebuild their livelihood," he said.
Since 2008, WFP has been supporting about 940,000 IDPs in areas affected by the LRA war.

More news on that distinctly orangey special edition Spyker C8 that we got wind of a couple of weeks ago.
Called the C8 Laviolette LM85, the new car is a road version of its, erm, less-than successful GT2 Le Mans racer.
Still, it looks pretty cool (underneath the war paint) and it's got an all-aluminium Audi 4.2-litre V8 pumping out 400bhp. Other features include a six-speed 'box, LSD and AP Racing six-pot calipers.
Inside, the Spyker gets an alcantara dash, orange contrast stitching and orange piped floor mats. Yikes.
'On request', according to Spyker, you can have Chronoswiss dials and switches that are virtually identical to the Chronoswiss 24 Hours Pilot Watch every owner receives with the car.
Did we mention the watch comes with a - you guessed it - very orange strap? Oh, and the strap is made from crocodile skin.
Driver's name and nationality sticker sets are optional. And no, we're not kidding.
We'll leave it there.

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction Review
I have to admit that the most fun I had in the Flatout games was with those silly physics events where you'd launch your ragdoll-ified body out of the front of the windshield. The racing was amusing arcade fare, but it wasn't ever totally amazing to me. And when a third Flatout was announced by a team that wasn't even the original developers (Bugbear Interactive), I was pretty sure something had gone off the rails. This latest entry in the series comes from a studio called Team 6, and with terrible physics, awful controls, and some of the most unpredictable and aggravating action in the history of high-speed racing games, this is one to avoid.
You start the game's main Challenge mode in an old junkheap of a car that's got nitrous bolted onto it so you go something like 200mph. This means you'd be guaranteed to slam the thing into an obstacle like a concrete wall even if the game's controls were slick and tight (which they're not), there were no other cars to race against (there most certainly are), or their AIs weren't blind and psychotic (yep, you guessed it). I found myself unable to reliably win races in Flatout 3, simply because the game conspires to find a way to crash your car and knock you out of the race in the most idiotic ways imaginable. The sluggish controls only allowed me to win by sheer memorization of the game's poorly laid-out tracks, and that only worked if I was lucky enough to get away from the pack of cars that would gladly do anything they could to slam into me - including finding ways to crash all over themselves and each other - and get out into first and hope I could stay there.
Honestly, I didn't get much further than a few races into this atrociously bad game, and my time spent with the various modes is all a blur in my mind. Usually I'm happy to go back to a game during the process of writing a review and get my facts straight about specific numbers, names, and modes, but I'm not doing it with Flatout 3 because, well, it's a waste of time for everyone involved. It wouldn't improve my description of the game, and it wouldn't help the reader because I am in no way suggesting that this game is even remotely redeemable to even the least discerning gamer out there. Anyone who still wants to play this game after reading even just one review of it probably deserves what they get.
This review is going to end up short because I'm only getting more angry with each word I type just thinking about the hideous graphics, grating audio, and truly terrible racing that this game can't help but throw at anyone unlucky enough to have bought it. I'd love for Flatout 3 to be this crappy but still mildly amusing experience that gets more charming with each senseless crash or failed attempt to complete (or, in some cases, even start) a multiplayer match, but for me, this did not happen at all.
The game costs thirty bucks, and I think it's likely you could have more fun spending that money on a bunch of rolls of tinfoil to chew on than to go through the pain of playing this game. You'd feel ripped off if the developers paid you $30 to play Flatout 3 for one evening. The only reason it's not getting a 1/10 is because it didn't reformat my PC when I uninstalled it, so in that case I guess I got it wrong. Flatout 3 does wind up having one mildly redeeming feature: it won't screw up your computer when you inevitably delete it in disgust.

There's just something about summer that makes stars want to lighten up.
For some celebs such as Dianna Agron and Ariel Winter that means switching to a blond hue. But if you've already got golden strands like Candice Swanepoel there's really only one option: going platinum.
NEWS: Dianna Agron is back to blond
"I wanted to do something different. . . Something spur of the moment," the model told E! News' Alicia Quarles at last night's amfAR Inspiration Gala in New York City.
NEWS: Ariel Winter ditches her brunette hair color
Indeed, she beached her hair only two hours before attending the event! But despite the impulsive decision it looks like she might be keeping the lighter locks for awhile since she agreed, "Blondes do have more fun!"

Orville Redenbacher`s Gourmet Popping Corn is the perfect snack to share with the family, and it`s available in Movie Theater Butter, Butter, Butter Light, Smart Pop! 94% Fat Free, Kettle Korn, and many other great flavors. Orville Redenbacher`s is light, fluffy, tender, and delicious every time, with few unpopped kernels. Orville Redenbacher`s is made with 100% whole grains, and most varieties have zero grams of trans fat per serving. Orville Redenbacher's lifelong commitment to popcorn excellence is just one reason Orville Redenbacher's is "America's Best Known Popcorn." Another reason is its exclusively grown popcorn hybrid that always pops up big and tender.
"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Bus made detour to police station after man knocked out teeth
Posted: November 24, 2012|
AN off-duty bus driver punched and kicked another man in the face on board a double-decker after a family New Year's Eve Party, a court heard.
Matthew Chappell, aged 31, attacked the man in front of children on board the courtesy service for Citybus staff, Plymouth Crown Court was told.
The double-decker, dropping off families at their homes, made a detour to Charles Cross Police Station, where officers arrested Chappell early on New Year's Day.
His victim was left needing surgery after eight of his front teeth were damaged, the court was told.
But Chappell, who has previous cautions for assault, avoided an immediate prison sentence after a judge ordered him to pay nearly £2,000 for the man's dental treatment.
Chappell, of Arkwright Gardens in Kings Tamerton, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm.
He denied malicious wounding and a judge recorded a not guilty verdict.
Recorder Adrian Hughes gave Chappell a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
He was also ordered to comply with a two-month curfew between 10pm and 4am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Chappell must also pay £1,870 in compensation.
David Gittins, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said the victim was on board the double-decker laid on by Citybus to take staff home in the early hours of New Year's Day.
He said he went upstairs and saw Chappell arguing with another man.
Mr Gittins said the victim did nothing wrong and told the men to calm down.
But he added Chappell punched him in the face and he fell to the floor, partly because the bus stopped at that point.
Mr Gittins said accounts from witnesses varied, but the injured man believed he was kicked at least three times in the face while on the floor.
The court heard the bus diverted to Charles Cross Police Station, where officers questioned Chappell.
Mr Gittins said: "Eight teeth were damaged, two of which have gone. Six of which should be removed."
He added that the victim had not been able to afford the work.
The court heard Chappell had a previous conviction for drug dealing and several for assault.
Piers Norsworthy, for Chappell, said he was still working as a bus driver and with help from his family, he could pay the compensation within 28 days.
He added he pleaded guilty on the basis of "excessive self-defence".
Mr Norsworthy said the other man, who had not been identified, had made threats and Chappell felt threatened when the victim and others came up the stairs.
Mr Norsworthy said Chappell, who had three children, was very remorseful.
Judge Hughes said: "You meted out excessive and vicious blows".

Nonfiction For Writers...
a procrastination-busting deadline. But only a fraction of the participants meet their goal.
Denise Jaden was part of that fraction, writing first drafts of her two published young adult
novels during NaNoWriMo. In Fast Fiction, she shows other writers how to do what she did,
step-by-step, writer to writer. Her process starts with a prep period for thinking through plot,
theme, characters, and setting. Then Jaden provides day-by-day coaching for the thirty-day
drafting period. Finally, her revision tips help writers turn merely workable drafts into
compelling and publishable novels.
A portion of publisher proceeds will be donated to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)
New World Library, 2014
Praise for Denise Jaden's writing...
"Denise Jaden's newest novel, FOREIGN EXCHANGE, is a must read for contemporary YA fans. The characters leap off the
pages and readers will furiously turn pages to keep up with the fast pace and intriguing premise. Definitely add a copy of
Foreign Exchange to the top of your reading list."
~ Janet Gurtler, Rita Finalist and Best Selling Author of I'm Not Her
"I loved the well-drawn relationships in Foreign Exchange – the tension between Jamie and her mother, Jamie's
tenderness with disabled brother Eddy and especially the intense chemistry between Jamie and Sawyer. Their off-limits
attraction and the increasingly dangerous hunt for his sister had me racing through the final chapters."
~ Jen Nadol, author of The Mark, The Vision, and This is How it Ends
"Foreign Exchange takes you on a thrilling ride through the exotic streets of Europe into the dark side of the fashion
world. Our charming heroine will stop at nothing to save her best friend. A sweet dose of romance keeps it light."
~ Lee Strauss - author of The Minstrel Series
"Foreign Exchange is a fresh contemporary YA that will keep readers compulsively turning pages until the very end.
Combining international intrigue with a steamy forbidden romance makes for a can't miss read."
~ Eileen Cook, author of Year of Mistaken Discoveries.
"A pitch perfect voice and delicious chemistry between the characters kept me turning those pages!"
~ Tara Kelly, author of Amplified and Encore
"Foreign Exchange is heart pounding and suspenseful...the teenage dream of escaping the boredom of suburbia by
travelling Europe and spending quality time with a hot guy shifts into a dangerous nightmare."
~ D.R. Graham, author of Rank and the Noir et Bleu MC series.
"Denise Jaden is a force to be reckoned with! I loved her new book so much. This one is a thrill ride with full realized,
lovable characters, and a refreshingly unique premise."
~ Rachel Shane, author of the upcoming Alice in Wonderland High
"Fast Fiction is filled with stellar advice, solid-gold tips, and doable, practical exercises for all writers who want to draft a
complete novel."
— Melissa Walker, author of Violet on the Runway
"Being a 'pantser' I have always resisted outlining, but I have to say that Fast Fiction changed my mind! Denise Jaden
takes what I find to be a scary process (outlining) and makes it into an easy and, dare I say, enjoyable one. Fast Fiction is
a hands-on book that asks the right questions to get your mind and your story flowing. I know I'll be using Fast Fiction
over and over again. Highly recommended for fiction writers!
— Janet Gurtler, author of RITA Award finalist I'm Not Her
"Fast Fiction is full of strategies and insights that will inspire and motivate writers of every experience level — and best of
all, it provides them with a solid plan to quickly complete the first draft of their next novel."
— Mindi Scott, author of Freefall
"Fast Fiction provides writers with the perfect mix of practical guidance and the kick in the pants they need to finish that
draft. This book is a must-have for writers of all levels."
— Eileen Cook, author of The Almost Truth
"Practical and down-to-earth, Denise Jaden's Fast Fiction makes a one-month draft seem doable, even for beginners, any
month of the year."
— Jennifer Echols, author of Endless Summer and Playing Dirty
"One of the greatest challenges any writer faces is getting a great idea out of one's brain and onto the page. Fast Fiction
breaks that process down into concrete, manageable steps, each accompanied by Denise Jaden's sage advice and
enthusiastic encouragement. And anything that helps streamline the drafting process is a-okay by me! Fast Fiction is a
great addition to any writer's toolbox — I've got it in mine!"
— Catherine Knutsson, author of Shadows Cast by Stars
"Forget the fact that this resource is directed at those wanting to complete a fast draft — if you're out to get your novel
done, period, Jaden's Fast Fiction will be the kick in the butt that gets you there, from story plan to 'The End'. . . and
— Judith Graves, author of the Skinned series for young adults
"In her sophomore novel, Jaden (Losing Faith) offers an intimate and enlightened rendering of anorexia and bulimia...
Loann's fight against forces that might be beyond her control is both harrowing and inspiring. While Jaden does not
provide simple answers for the problems presented, she dramatically illustrates the importance of speaking out and
reaching out."
-Publishers Weekly
"Denise Jaden positively nails the love-hate relationship between two polar opposite sisters who share a single quest: the
desire to be perfect, regardless of the cost. A compelling, often gut-wrenching coming-of-age novel, Never Enough will
haunt you long after the last page."
—Jeannie Garsee, author of Before, After and Somebody In Between
"Denise Jaden's Never Enough is honest, gut wrenching, and oh so beautiful.
It's a book you can't wait to share."
—Eileen Cook, author of Unraveling Isobel and The Education of Hailey Kendrick
"A poignant, important book, Never Enough tackles self-esteem and body image issues while always remaining true to its
three-dimensional characters. Denise Jaden has created a cliché-free zone filled with hurt, heart, and personal strength.
Jaden's tender sympathy for her characters and dedication to honest storytelling shine through every page."
—C.K. Kelly Martin, author of I Know It's Over
"Raw and unforgettable, Never Enough is an authentic portrait of a teen girl faced with an impossible situation. Loann's
relationship with her sister is beautifully drawn and heartbreaking."
—Tara Kelly, author of Amplified
"A poignant look at sisterly devotion and heartache, woven into a sweet tale
of first love and a girl coming into her own."
—Holly Cupala, author of Tell Me A Secret
"...this book is powerful. I am in awe of Denise Jaden's grasp of relationships - how she managed to create such deep
bonds between her characters, how she made me feel each of Loann's emotions, is beyond me. This is an important book
- I can't recommend it enough!"
-- Hannah, from Paperback Treasures
"I think you have a compelling and fascinating story here. I like how it wasn't JUST a mystery or JUST a coming of age
story. You kept me turning those pages, and I LOVED Alis and Tessa--they are so unique and well drawn, not your typical
YA fare by far."
- Tara Kelly, author of Harmonic Feedback (Henry Holt & Co., 2010)
"This thoughtful first novel explores early grief and shows how it can tear at the structure of a family that cannot mourn
together…. [R]eaders are taken on a ride through a secret world of religious zeal gone haywire….With pitch-perfect
portrayals of high school social life and a nuanced view into a variety of Christian experiences of faith, this first novel gives
readers much to think about."
-School Library Journal
"I read Losing Faith in two sittings...It hit an out-of-the-park home run with me, not only for the sympathetic and complex
heroine (which I expected), but for its courage in dealing with a touchy subject that is central to a lot of people's lives:
religion. It's also a riveting mystery."
- Jeri Smith-Ready, author of the Shade series (Simon Pulse)
"In this debut novel, Brie's sister, Faith, commits suicide. Faith is a devout Christian who isn't the type to take her own
life. Brie's grieving parents are unable to respond to her. Her friends have dropped her, and her teachers have lost
patience with her. The only person who befriends Brie is Tessa, a goth girl who is shunned by other students. Brie learns
that Tessa also lost a sister. Brie is determined to understand what really happened to Faith, and Tessa is willing to help
her. Together they confront the evil cult that was trying to lure Faith. This is an excellent novel that sheds light on
suicide, death, and cults, while delivering a powerful mystery. Brie learns about real love and friendship as she struggles
with this painful experience. Let's hope this is not Jaden's last novel. Jaden is able to tell a story in a very real and
meaningful way. She writes with an authentic teen-age voice; her characters are believable and the family's reaction to
Faith's sudden death is very realistic. The ending is exactly what the reader wants to happen, without being saccharine or
too perfect. Highly Recommended."
Bonnie Morris (Library Media Connection, January/February 2011)
"Strong in its characterization...satisfying...a thoughtful read."
"This book is wonderful. I stayed up way too late because I couldn't put it down. Tessa is one of my all-time favorite
characters - fascinating, nuanced - she lived for me, jumped right off the page. Terrific read!"
- Janet Fox, author of Faithful (Penguin/Speak, 2010)
and Get Organized Without Losing It (Free Spirit Publishing, 2006)
"Losing Faith is a tour-de-force of emotion and surprisingly snarky humor. At times it's a story engulfed in grief, but it's
always full of mystery and heart. Jaden has weaved a remarkably realistic story that is a stellar debut."
- Wicked Awesome Books
"This book was extremely well written and has an intriguing mystery that left me wondering what really happened until
the final reveal... I recommend this one to YA and adult fans alike. Mysterious, action-packed with romantic, and religious
aspects, but all rounded out nicely to form a great read."
- from Angel at
"Suspense, religion, romance, teenage angst, this book has it all and it is all well-done. Losing Faith was an amazing read
that hooked me in the beginning and when it was done I was well-satisfied with the conclusion. Great from start-to-finish!"
- from Crystal at
"Denise Jaden's Losing Faith is a riveting story about sisters, what binds them and what sets them apart. When Brie's
family is torn apart by the death of her sister, Brie put her own fears aside to delve into Faith's apparent suicide. I found
myself squirreling away time just to sit and read the book. Jaden's fascinating religious perspective and the attraction of
dark cults, this contemporary, realistic novel explored the dark side of zealotry, and how people can get pulled into fringe
groups. Denise's beautiful language and plot pacing made this novel a page turner."
- from Michele Corriel, author of Fairview Felines: A Newspaper Mystery (Blooming Tree Press / Tire Swing
Press, September, 2010)
"This is a wonderful book with one of my
favorite covers of the year."
- from Melanie at Reclusive Bibliophile Reviews
"I've never read a book like Losing Faith or a plot even
nearly similar. Very suspenseful and full of mystery, I found I
couldn't put this book down."
- from Miss Remmers of MissRemmersReview
Loann's always wanted to be popular and pretty like her sister, Claire. So when Claire's ex-
boyfriend starts flirting with her, Loann is willing to do whatever it takes to feel special…
even if that means betraying her sister.
But as Loann slips inside Claire's world, she discovers that everything is not as it seems. Claire's
quest for perfection is all-consuming, and comes at a dangerous price. As Claire increasingly
withdraws from friends and family, Loann struggles to understand her and make amends. Can
she heal their relationship—and her sister—before it's too late?
In her first nonfiction book, Denise Jaden explores the stages and outlets of grief and how to
implement them into your fiction to create more interesting characters and a more engaging
plot. Some topics of this book include: grieving before the loss, spiritual matters, and how
grief affects different ages, personality types and gender.

- CM Magazine
Jamie Monroe has always played it safe. That is, until her live-for-the-moment best friend,
Tristan, jets off to Italy on a student exchange program. Left alone with her part-time
mother and her disabled brother, Jamie discovers that she is quite capable of taking her own
risks, starting with her best friend's hotter-than-hot older brother, Sawyer. Sawyer and
Tristan have been neighbors for years, but as Jamie grows closer to the family she thought
she knew, she discovers some pretty big secrets.
As she sinks deeper into their web of pretense, she suspects that her best friend may not be
on a safe exchange program at all. Jamie sets off to Europe on a class trip with plans to
meet up with Tristan, but when Tristan stops all communication, suddenly no one seems
trustworthy, least of all the one person she was starting to trust—Sawyer.

Lucile Petry Leone, 97, who founded the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps and helped avoid the need to draft nurses for World War II, died in San Francisco Nov. 25. Ms. Leone, who helped recruit more than 100,000 young women to study nursing, founded and directed the Cadet Nurse Corps after the United States was fighting both in Europe and the Pacific.
The program, authorized by Congress in 1943, covered a candidate's tuition, fees, room and board, books, monthly stipends and uniforms. In return, candidates promised to take part in military or civilian nursing until the war ended.

For the last 12 years, I have been a Business Development Advisor to small and medium sized firms in the Trades, Automotive, Professional Services and Legal Industries. These businesses specifically wanted to grow their businesses by utilizing smart marketing and advertising strategies.
And during that time, I have helped these firms generate more than $136 million in new revenue and thousands of new clients. How was that done?
It's really very simple - they succeeded because they believed in my four "ground rules" for a successful business.
Here's One Attorneys Opinion Of What I Meant To His Practice
For full-size video, click here.
The First Ground Rule: When you see a marketing idea or strategy that's phenomenally successful in a different industry than yours, open your eyes and ears. The ones that can really pump-up your bottom-line always come from elsewhere.
The Second Ground Rule: There is only one justification for spending your cash on marketing and advertising - Revenue! Revenue! Revenue!
The Third Ground Rule: Expect immediate and positive results from your marketing and advertising - if not, cancel it.
The Fourth Ground Rule: Look at what your competitors are doing with their marketing and advertising....and do the opposite.
Why Am I Helping Attorneys Now?
It's an interesting story, but since I know you're busy, here is the "why and how" - you can look at it later if you care to.
The real story is this - The first Attorney that put my systems to work is now getting an additional 12 new clients a month - 9 of those from his redesigned websites that dominate his practice areas. And the best part of these systems...they build upon each other. The longer they are in use - the more new clients you get...year-after-year-after year. (eds. note - he's had to bring on another attorney to handle the workload.)
This attorney listened. He learned. And he believed. I promise that when you heed my advice and take advantage of my experience, you won't be the next victim of a smooth-talking sales rep, or regret that you could have avoided the costly traps they never tell you about.
I bet I'm a lot like you. My business is a serious subject. Each and every dime I invest in my marketing and advertising is my future and I don't take it lightly. I, like you, have worked hard to get where I am.
Just the thought of getting sold an "empty promise" that has a zero-chance of working gets my blood boiling. I don't have the time for it...and I don't need it messing with my bottom line. And I'm sure you feel the same.
You've achieved your dream of a solo practice or working for an established firm. Yet like many other service professionals, clients aren't knocking your door down, burning up your phone lines or draining your bandwidth with hundreds of e-mail contacts.
Yes, occasionally the phone rings and it's a client. But, more often that not, when your phone rings it's a:
- Sales rep from the yellow pages or yellow book;
- Sales rep from a radio station;
- Sales rep from the local cable service or TV station;
- Sales rep from a small, start-up Internet Company or a rep from one the legal related Internet Giants.
And you hear the same pitch from each one....their service or product has a phenomenal return on investment and it's going to help increase your revenue.
The problem is - very few do...most do not. And to top it all off, the services they offer are certainly not cheap.
Heck, you've gotten so many of these calls over the years, you now tune them out or don't believe a word they say.
For the modern attorney, there are only five "mainstream" marketing methods that will help grow your practice. In order of importance and return on investment, they are:
- Referral Methods and Strategies: Applies to every Attorney and every practice;
- Internet Strategies: Applies to a majority of practices;
- Yellow Pages Advertising: Yep, still works well for specific practice areas;
- Television Ads: Applies to very specific practice areas only;
- Radio Ads: Applies to very specific practice areas and geographical locations only.
Yet each time you invest in one of these methods, this is what happens.
Someone in the vendors "Creative Groups", who has a total of two days of training, will do this:
- Look at the ads or websites their other attorney clients (your competition) are running;
- And Copy It.
And what do you get for that? You advertise where your competitors do with the exact same ads they run. Or, your website looks and says the same things. Congratulations, you've just joined the other 98% of attorneys whose marketing and advertising dollars get flushed down the toilet every year.
Folks, the methods I mentioned above do work...it's how they are being implemented that is causing your anger and frustration.
So here's what I'm going to do for you.....I'm going to change all that. I'm going to show you how to make your firm or practice dramatically different, and more successful, than any and every competitor in your marketplace.
Just below (and to the left as well) you'll see numerous topics regarding Lawyer Marketing and Attorney Advertising....and each topic is available, FREE of charge, for you to use. Review them - and see which topics apply to your practice...and discover just how quickly you can start growing your business with very little effort, or cost, on your part.
I've been asked why give this information away. It's simple - because I've mastered certain skills that make my clients a fortune....and by giving away much of it, I'm hoping that at some time in the future, you invest further in your growth by retaining my firm for more technical, but necessary, strategies.
