Am I a candidate for BA, Lipo, BBL? (Photo)
I've been wanting a BA for a reallllly long time now. I was thinking a small C-Cup. And even though I tried working out eating right everything, it doesn't seem like I get the results I want. I weigh 135 but I'm not sure if I would need to gain some weight or what I have is enough. I do want some hip and a full/round butt for my size! Not too crazy lol.

Breast Augmentation, BBL
Yes, you are a great candidate for all three procedures. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best wishes! Dr. Desai

Excellent Candidate for BA, Lipo, BBL
Thanks for submitting your question! Provided that you are otherwise healthy, you appear to be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation, Liposuction, and Brazilian Butt Lift. Furthermore, the three procedures can all be performed at one time by a board certified plastic surgeon for a safe and speedy recovery. Best of luck to you!
BBL Options
Physical exam would be optimal, but from your photos, it appears that you may have enough fat for a modest increase in butt size and projection. I never recommend weight gain for BBL because of health consequences. You appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Breast augmentation, liposuction and BBL
Thanks for reaching out. That is a great combination of procedures. You are definitely a good candidate. I would not recommend gaining any weight. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon to get the best results and the right plan.
I hope this helps :)
I hope this helps :)
Great Candidate
Thank you for your question. Yes, based on your photos, you would be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation and also liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL). Practices such as ours offer imaging so that you can get a better idea of what you would look like with different implant sizes. When you speak with a plastic surgeon, you can see if they offer that. Liposuction would also improve the appearance of your flanks and abdomen. Also, make sure the surgeon you see is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. All the best,
Multiple procedures
Thank you for your question. Based on your submitted photos you appear to be an excellent candidate for BA, liposuction and BBL procedures to produce beautiful overall results. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be further evaluated, discuss your options, address your goals and then work together to build a surgical plan to help you achieve the overall look you desire.

Breast augmentation, liposuction and BBL
Thank you for asking about your breast augmentation, liposuction and BBL.
- I think your plan is a good one - you should have a nice result from a breast augmentation.
- Liposuction will also help to give you a nicer shape.
- Please don't gain weight for a BBL - it can be hard to lose.
- You seem to have enough fat for a BBL -
- Remember that although liposuction and BA results are quite predictable, the BBL is not -
- Be sure to discuss realistic expectations with your plastic surgeon!
Thank you for your question and photographs. If you have adequate fat pockets for harvesting you would be a candidate for a BBL. The fat can be harvested from multiple areas on your body and injected into the hips and buttocks to build those up and give you that curvier silhouette. Sometimes, this procedure needs to be staged to achieve your cosmetic goals because injecting too much fat at once can increase the chance of more fat cells not surviving. When I perform a BBL, I will evaluate the patient's body to make sure that they are a good candidate for the Brazilian butt lift. It will also be assessed as to which areas will be liposuctioned. Depending on the amount of fat necessary to fill the buttocks/hip area, multiple donor sites on the body may be considered. After liposuction has been performed, a closed sterile system is used which ensures the fat tissue is never exposed to the air. This keeps it safe and purified for reinjection into the buttocks/hips. Our plastic surgery office uses P188, a triple-wash antibiotic that sterilizes the tissue and separates the healthy fat from any tissue that may not survive the transfer process. I will then reinject the fat to make sure that the layering is done properly, effectively and that the results are smooth and shapely. In regards to your breast augmentation, you would need a physical examination and measurements taken so your doctor can recommend the best implant type/sizes for your body. There are 3D simulators that can show you what you would look like with different types of implants and different sizes, this can be helpful when trying to decide what size would achieve your cosmetic goals. At my office, I use high profile Sientra implants to create a round full result that looks natural, giving you the result that you want. Additionally, i use Crisalix which is a virtual reality device that will allow you to view different sizes of implants and pick which best suits your desires. As the only board certified plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh offering this virtual reality imaging system, we have a 100% satisfaction rate. Crisalix is truly a unique experience for our patients as they can view themselves using virtual reality goggles and can instantly visualize their own breasts changing in size and shape with all of the various brands, sizes and shapes of breast implants. Thus, our patients leave the consultation feeling confident with the size of the implant they chose. I would recommend that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a physical examination of your body and see if it is possible to achieve your cosmetic goals.
Best of luck in your endeavors!

Thank you for your question. From your photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for Breast Augmentation and Vaser Hi definition liposculpture with fat grafting to the buttocks. You should get a great result from liposculpture, giving you a more contoured and hourglass shape with better projection to your buttocks. I have done many body contouring procedures and specialize in Vaser Hi Definition liposculpture. Vaser Hi Definition body sculpting requires extensive specialized training. I am one of few surgeons in the United States that was personally trained by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, the surgeon that developed this technique. Vaser Hi Definition liposuction uses the concepts of negative and positive spaces in relation to the underlying bony and muscle anatomy to define areas such as your six pack and create an athletic looking physique. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Are you a candidate for a BA, Lipo and BBL?
Not only can it be done at the same time but it also makes sense to most. There is only one surgery and one post operative recovery. It is important to have a detailed discussion with your board certified plastic surgeon regarding benefits and risks.

The same researchers who used exotic substances called metamaterials to make a benchtop Big Bang have mimicked the end of time, also known as the Big Crunch.
Light traveling through metamaterials is described mathematically by equations used to describe space and time, allowing physicists to probe cosmic questions in a controlled manner.
In this experiment, the photons underwent a "higher harmonic generation," or a sudden rise in frequency and energy. Put another way, "the end of time looks very hot," said electrical engineer Igor Smolyaninov of the University of Maryland.
Smolyaninov and colleagues Ehren Hwang and Evgenii Narimanov wanted to probe the Big Crunch, a postulated scenario in which the universe contracts back upon itself, eventually collapsing into a black hole.
As described July 20 on the physics preprint website arXiv, their metamaterial consisted of a plastic called polymethyl methacrylate embedded in a grid upon gold film.
As photon-electron waves called plasmons flowed through the gold they followed the rules of a universe with two dimensions of space and one of time, said Smolyaninov. Flowing through the plastic, they followed the rules of a universe with one dimension of space and two of time.
When the substances are placed perpendicular to each other, as on this grid, then a dimension of time runs up against a dimension of space. As plasmons excited by a beam of laser light coursed through the plastic and hit the gold, time effectively came to an end.
Plasmons diverged at that boundary, their photons rising in energy in accordance with predictions.
In future studies Smolyaninov plans to add quantum dot semiconductors to the metamaterial, which he says would allow it to better simulate the center of a black hole.
There he hopes to find an analogue for Hawking radiation, a quantum phenomenon predicted by Stephen Hawking to exist at the edge of black holes.
"Normally, if you have a black hole and a particle near the event horizon, that's the end of the story. But according to Hawking radiation, one particle is absorbed and another let out. In classical physics, this is forbidden, but in quantum physics it's allowed," said Smolyaninov. "Black holes don't just absorb everything."

Chapter Sixteen, Part Four: Midnight at the Frog and CraneMature
"Good imitation of a person gagging, Koschei! I give you a gold star for mathematical excellence!" the Doctor says, grinning wiping a tear from his face as he remembers he's forgotten he's not supposed to say that anymore. He then gets up from River's triangled legs, plants a wet kiss on her springy gold curls, burrowing in like a star-nosed mole, then uncrooks a finger to the door. "We ought to be going- we'll be late." He turns to the Master, saying, "Hang in there, Koschei! I'm out to an early lunch- and my wife is coming, too!"
"No, no, you promised you'd get me out of this!" the Master whinges, shoving a finger at Rassilon and sticking him in the eye. Repeatedly.
But the Doctor and River are already heading out the door.
"At least tell me the name of that corset shop!"
Outside the Infirmary door, the Doctor lingers between the two guards, tossing a ready smile back and forth as the occasion presents. River has gone ahead to the TARDIS to dress for their outing. She has the wrist-strap, after all. Who is he to take away his wife's little leather toy? He doesn't really like them, anyway. Who needs a unicycle when you've got a big blue Rolls?
As he wanders down the hallway, taking the long route back to the TARDIS so he can get a bit of thinking time, he notices a shadow in long, swishing robes, moving toward the Infirmary.
"Oh, Rassilon, hello! Where do you think you're going?"

Canberra (Australia), Sept.29 (ANI): The Julian Gillard Government in Australia lost a division on the floor of the House of Representatives today, the first to do so since 1941.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the 73-72 vote was over a relatively small procedural issue which was part of proposed parliamentary reforms and did not affect Julia Gillard's hold on power.
There were two "pairs'' in which absent Government MPs were matched by abstaining Coalition MPs.
The pairs were for Regional development Minister Simon Crean who was addressing the National Press Club, and heavily pregnant Human Services Minister Tanya Plibersek.
Labor's loss came in a vote in which an MP inadvertently missed a vote.
Two of the four independents that backed Labor to form minority government switched their support to the Coalition on amendments to the parliamentary reform legislation, while Queensland MP Bob Katter, who had sided with the Coalition, supported Labor. (ANI)

I never saw the sense in writing a review right after I received a product, before now. I got this for acid reflux, burning esophagus, you know the drill. Let me just say that this works better than my Dulera and Proventil inhalers to stop wheezing and coughing at night! I actually couldn't sleep very well the first night, because I was so excited that I wasn't hearing all that wheezing, and wasn't coughing much at all when I was trying to go to sleep. (Yes, I'm one of those that has woken in the past choking on watery acidic stuff coming up in my mouth). Now that I'm not coughing all night long and inflaming my airway, I don't feel like I have to grab my inhaler as soon as I get out of bed. My only regret is that it took me so long to try this.
Havent tried it yet.

Time for the top ten! Just like with the last part, there's pretty good representation from a number of Mario games here. I guess that's about all the introduction that's necessary, so first, here's a link to the last part in case you missed it:
And here's the top ten!
10. Donut Plains (Super Mario World)
What's not to like about Donut Plains? On the whole, I would consider it one of the best groupings of levels across all Mario games. Super Mario World is my favorite Mario game. Almost every level is fantastic, but there's something about Donut Plains makes it stand out to me. Perhaps it's the Top Secret Area; I sure know I've gotten myself countless 1ups and power-ups there.
9. Water Theme (Super Mario 64)
This is actually a rather beautiful song. It's more solemn than other songs found in Mario games, but nonetheless it's easy on the ears. To this day, I can say that I enjoy water levels in Super Mario 64 more than I do in any other Mario game. This song isn't the entire reason why, but it definitely helps the cause.
8. Overworld Theme (Super Mario Bros. 2)
Say what you will about SMB2, but this game's overworld theme is perhaps the catchiest one of all. In fact, SMB2's soundtrack on the whole really didn't drop the ball in any areas; it's as true and authentic a Mario soundtrack as you're going to find.
7. Forest of Illusion
This song, to me at least, offers a hint of mystery, perfect for a place called the Forest of Illusion. I love the multiple pathways, those trees with strange faces, wigglers, and really everything else about the Forest.
6. Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3, as remastered in Super Mario All-Stars)
Yesterday I mentioned that water levels are stressful to me. Well, airships easily trump those; with objects flying every which way, fire shooting out at you, and very little time or room to stand still and think things through, my palms always get a little sweaty at these levels. This tense music completes the atmosphere.
5. Title (Super Mario World)
Title themes set the stage for what's to come, so it's important to have one that kicks things off with a bang. And that's exactly what this title theme does. This is just a fun, airy, care-free song that is a perfect example of what Mario music is all about. What a track.
4. The Comet Observatory
Often I'm in no hurry to leave Galaxy's central hub area, The Comet Observatory. Why? Well, obviously it's this song. It's graceful. It's elegant. It's charming. Not unlike Super Mario Galaxy itself.
3. World 1 (Super Mario Bros. 3, as remastered in Super Mario All-Stars)
Nice little jam here, ain't it? World 1 of SMB3 is one of my personal favorites. The levels may be easy, but they're some of the most fun levels found anywhere in the game. And this menu/overworld music sets you off on the right foot. Puts you in a great mood at the start of Mario's big adventure.
2. Vanilla Dome (Super Mario World)
If any Mario song could be classified as funk, this is the one. Just listen to those drum hits, that bass line. Vanilla Dome is an awesome place, and it was lucky enough to get my favorite song in the entire game. I could listen to it all day...
1. World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 3, as remastered in Super Mario All-Stars)
This song just brings a smile to my face. Instantly. Every time I hear it. It's another one I could listen to all day. It's another song that proves Koji Kondo's vast talent. It's another song that accompanies an equally awesome world of levels. And above all, it's my favorite Mario song.
Thanks for checking out the list! Any thoughts? What are some of your favorite Mario songs?

A small sigh of satisfaction escaped her lips as she nestled her way back into his chest. He felt one of her hands crawl around to his back while the other came up to his chest right near her face. Another shiver ripped through her body.
"Ri, you sure you don't want to get out?" as much as he hated to let her out of his arms he had to ask.
"I guess we should."
They stood together another minute before he finally unwrapped his arms from around her. For once, he actually hated leaving the little river. Outside the shaded water, sunlight bathed the grass. Aiden took Rianne's hand and lead her to where he had his shirt. He sat down and motioned for her to do the same.
She sat with her knees pulled up to her chest and her hands clasped around her legs. He was next to her in a criss-crossed position. He stretched his legs out in front of him and started to lean back.
"You're gonna get grass all over yourself dude." Rianne told him.
"Oh well." He replied as he closed his eyes. Aiden could feel her eyes ranking over his body. He would have let her look as much as she wanted but after a minute or two, she looked away.
When he felt her getting up, he opened his eyes. He watched as she walked over to her clothes. "You're gonna get your clothes all wet," he mocked
"Does it look like I'm putting them on?"
"With you, I can never tell Ri."
"Oh thanks Aiden."
"I didn't mean it in a bad way."
She fished out the keys from her jeans' pocket.
"Ri, you know I'm just playing. Don't leave."
She just smiled and said, "Relax." And before he knew it, she had left through the trees. Just when you think you're getting through to the women, she bolts.
Minutes later, he heard footsteps approaching. He kept his eyes closed as she knelt down beside him. He felt her squirming, and every once in a while, her skin touched his. When his curiosity had gotten the best of him he sat up and looked at what she had done. On the grass lay a blanket with her body stretched out on top. Her eyes were shut with her mouth partly open. One leg was bent up while the other was flat. Aiden fought the urge to touch her. But before he could lose his self-control, she spoke.
Without opening her eyes she asked, "Wanna share the blanket? I could fold it out if you want."
"Uhhh…. Sure Ri."
Rianne stood up and unfolded the blanket, making it bigger. Aiden took one side and she took the other. Her body went back to the way it was before and he positioned himself on his back as well.
Rianne moved her hand so that it covered his. "So what was up with you and Blondie the other day?" She turned her head to look at him.
"I don't know," he finally answered. " I guess I was just trying to make you jealous. I thought that maybe if you saw me with her you would admit that you love me back."
"Aiden you can't be serious. Why would I be jealous of that bimbo? Any guy she gets isn't there because he cares, he's just looking to get lucky."
"Rianne I don't know. Maybe if you thought I moved on you would realize you care and come to me."
"If you moved on, you moved on. I'm not going to chase you if you don't want me anymore."
Aiden sat up in frustration. "That's the thing, Ri! I do. I never stopped. I love you. I've been in love with you for years. I was…"
Rianne moved before her brain could rationalize what she was doing. One second she was lying down the next she was kissing Aiden. And it wasn't just a peck. It was a full deep meaningful kiss. Her hand found its way to his bare chest as she crept her body closer to his. After the initial shock wore off, she felt Aiden gently pull away from her. "Rianne, what are you doing?"
"Shutting you up." She moved herself away from Aiden until they were far enough apart that she wouldn't be tempted to kiss him again. I'm pretty sure crossing the earth wouldn't be able to stop the temptation. In the silence that followed the episode, she fought to push aside her thoughts of her house. She could only imagine what Tony did when he found out she wasn't home. She hoped to the high heavens that he wouldn't hurt her mother because of what she did. Instead of dwelling on that, she looked up at the sky and noticed how the colors were changing. The light blue had begun to fade to brighter oranges and pinks with soft purple. The sun could now be seen slipping behind the trees. Rianne took a deep breath and glanced at Aiden. He had moved so that he was lying on his back again. One of his arms was stretched out away from his body, the other hand was laid across his chest, and from his even breathing, Rianne figured he was asleep.
He looked so welcoming like that. She shimmied over to him until they were touching. Rianne lay on her side and placed her head in the little nook where his outstretched arm met his body. Her face was right above his heart, letting her hear the soothing sound of his heartbeat. She nestled her body into his until her leg was resting on his. The steady rhythm of his breathing calmed her fears in a way that nothing else could. The longer she stayed like that the more she felt herself relaxing. It was like he could drain the tension straight from her body even as he slept. She may not have had a place to sleep that night, but everything was perfect. She was safe and peaceful which was a strange yet comforting feeling for her. "I love you, Aiden." Though she knew he couldn't hear or ever even know she said it, admitting it lifted a huge weight off her chest. She let herself fall asleep in his arms before he could wake up and take the chance away from her.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or any of its incarnations.
Hey everyone! I know your thinking you're taking to long to write this. So I'm gonna apologize. I have to really get in to mood to write, and if you stay tuned the next chapter will feature a new player in the game and some Bevin-y goodness. I'll try to get it done quicker.
Curious Dragons
Chapter 19
While she glared at the two men keeping her from her army, she realized the two who were holding her army at bay, they weren't the two she started fighting. However as she realized this, her chance to catch her other opponent was lost. Ben, who was able to make his way along the side of her frozen army, came running out from between them and started their counter attack. His fist came directly towards the young witch, but at the last second she was able to side step him. The young Tennyson recovered quickly and quickly started his throwing punches and kicks.
While Charmcaster had learned how to defend herself with martial arts, they were barely able to keep up with Ben.
After several minutes of being pushed further and further back, Charmcaster growled and unleashed a huge pulse of mana. Ben had seconds to call on a skill called dragon scale. As the name states, the user will develop the weaker version of a dragon's scales. When the pulse hit him, Ben was forced into the air and crashed about 10 yards from the clone.
By this time the clone began to feel the effects of using up so much mana. Her allotted amount was on the verge of being used up and she still needed to defeat the three warriors. 'Shit! I can't let myself be beaten by this filth. There has to be a way to end,' she began to wonder. It was within a less than a moment when she realized what she had to do. Her last chance at redemption, but using it would cost the clone her life. She panted heavily looking up to see Ben getting back to his feet. The clone growled and decided that her sacrifice was worth the destruction of the three Plumbers.
With the remaining power, she withdrew the energy that fueled her golems. As the mana streamed back into her, Ben raced to stop her from whatever she was planning. However it was too late. The clone took hold of her brooch and activated its power.
Below her feet a seal appeared with shocked and stopped Ben in his tracks. The seal was exactly like the ones the dragon riders use which meant that this young witch wielded the power to fight with dragons as well. A moment later, a roar was heard coming from the portal, and a creature of blinding speed came flying out. The creature that came from the portal however was not what anyone had been expecting.
The creature looked more like a huge snake that was able to lift the top portion of its body. The snake had glowing red eyes and its body was covered in purple scale on top, but its underbelly was lined with white scales. Running along its back was a mane of course black hair, but the most outstanding features on this "dragon" was its wings. While most dragons have large scaly wings, this one had the wings of a bird.
Ben turned to Marello and Kevin and saw that the golems were falling apart. Ben ran back towards them but the dragon was faster. It spewed wave of acid in front of Ben, and slivered quickly in front of him keeping him from his partner. Kevin however ran towards Ben wanting to help. The enraged prince of dragons took off and readied himself for an iron fist to scale fight, but was taken down quickly. The snake like dragon sensed Kevin was coming from behind and used his tail to swat him with all the force he could.
When the tail came into contact with Kevin his iron armor cracked and was shattered. From there he was sent sailing back to where Marello was staring in horror. "Kevin as you can see that's not going to work. That dragon cannot be beaten with normal tactics. That thing is a Vipera dragon. They're rare breeds that don't normally commune with other dragons due to their many differences," Marello stated. Kevin groaned and told him he knew what the dragon was but wanted to know how to beat it. Marello was a loss to fight this dragon. Most of these dragons lived on a island jungle hundreds of miles away from there, and with their rarity fighting or trying to unify with one was impossible. However it seemed this one had found its kindred spirit in Charmcaster. With that filed away the young commander checked his mana levels and noticed he barely had anything left. He knew stopping the Vipera dragon would be much harder now, but with some luck they might be able to stop them.
As Marello started to formulate a plan, the clone decided to play her final card. She called her partner and started to perform the spell that would end this fight once and for all.
Marello noticed it before Ben, who had coming running back to them and fusing over Kevin.
The snake like dragon coiled around the clone slightly as Charmcaster took hold of the pendant on her dress. She began to focus her power into the pendant and activated the other amulet hanging around her partners' neck. "Dragon Soul Fusion!" she shouted.
Ben and Kevin turned to see a large magical glyph appear underneath the two and watched as the dragon seemed to evaporate. The smoky form of the viper dragon continued to coil around the clone. A moment later it entered Charmcaster's pendant. Now that power of dragon had entered her pendant, the clone placed it back on her jacket and waited.
The power of the dragon soul fusion soon took over as it bound the powers and bodies together. A blinding light consumed the two dark entities, and when it cleared a new horrifying monster took their place. A tall naga, with snakes for hair, and two large snakes for arms stood before them.
Kevin, Ben and Marello stared in awe at the monster's looks.
The naga began to laugh as she stared back at the trio and wasted no time in attacking. She slithered across the sand and raised her left arm and had it project a powerful acid at them.
With only seconds to dodge, Ben and Kevin rolled out of the way as the acid hit the ground and turned to sand into glass. Using her other arm, as a whip, she sent it directly at Marello. Marello however was able to dodge the attack and started making his way to Ben and Kevin. However the young sorceress had other plans. She quickly slithered across the sand and was able to cut off Marello's retreat. Acting quickly she used one of her arms and had it wrap around Marello. Marello withheld from screaming by biting his lip.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Kevin breathed and funnel of his burning flames. As Kevin unleashed his attack, Ben did the same but projected an icy torrent of flames.
When the first attack came into contact with naga, it seemed to have no affect on her, but when the icy torrent clashed against her scaly skin, the naga roared in pain. When she lost her focus, Marello wriggled his way out of her grasp and made it over to his students.
Ben was continuing to dish out his icy attack and was able to incase the naga in the ice. Once Marello got over to them, Ben looked the older man over and saw that their chances of winning were dropping. One of Marello's arms was broken, and his body was littered with cuts and bruises.
" Ben good job at stopping her, but do you think you can make the ice any colder," Marello asked after a few ragged breathed.
"No, that's as cold as I can make it. Why do you wanna make it colder?" questioned Ben.
"Yeah it's not even holding her now, I say you just blast her into oblivion," the dragon prince stated.
"That would be a waste, until her real body is beaten, she'll continue to come at us. But something I did notice was that when Ben hit her with the flaming ice, it broke her concentration and put her on the defensive. Now this is only a guess, but with her dragon being half dragon and half snake, she is vulnerable to icy just as reptiles are vulnerable to the cold," Marello explained as he began to use the last bit of his mana to mend his arm.
"Great you don't you just do that dragon soul fusion thingy and finish her off," Ben smiled at his stated but it faded as he saw the expression on Marello's face.
"I'm in no shape to perform the fusion you and Kevin have to do it."
"What?! But we weren't able to perform that thing once. How do you expect us to do it now?"
"Yeah, its not like the answers gonna be staring us in the face," Kevin stated.
Marello gave them a calm smile and explained, "There answer is staring me right in the face. Kevin draw you have to let yourself embrace all the qualities of the Glacier dragon. I think what our problem was that we were trying to get you to fuse with a black dragon, the predecessor to all other dragon types. This fusion would probably cause you to go insane so that may be why the fusion didn't work. So if we just use on particular dragon species it may just work."
Marello's theory was sound from Kevin's point of view when he thought about it, so he focused his power into the glacier dragon in him and let it take over. The change took no energy from Kevin, but he felt everything he knew about himself change as he took on the DNA of the glacier dragon. While the majority of his physical features took no changes, his hair began to fade. The once raven locks began to bleed to a white bluish color and his eye took on an electric blue hue.
Once he took on all the traits of the glacier dragon, the group heard the sound of something cracking. Turning quickly, they took notice that the naga's eyes were glowing red in rage. Even with the ice holding her in place, the clone began to use her superior strength to create cracks in the ice. Know there wasn't much time left Ben quickly went to activate his Dragianium summoner. This time when he revealed the armguard, the once dull gray metal that covered the band was now shifting to the same color as Ben's eyes.
A monotone version of Ben's voice came from the gauntlet and stated, "Omnitrix online. System setup now initiated." The top of the Omnitrix popped up and created 3D circle. The interactive screen then displayed how far the initiation sequence was progressing. Ben groaned know that his chance to attack the clone where put on hold.
The frozen clone noticed his Dragianium summoner and began to hiss. She renewed her attempt to break free and quickly broke free from her containment. With a loud roar, she opened the mouths of her snake like arms and began to prepare torrent of her specialized fire. "I won't give you the time you need to get your little toy up and running. I'll end this and make sure the temples dark energy destroys this peaceful city," the naga exclaimed.
Once she was ready Charmcaster's clone released an acidic flame that would destroy anything it touched. The flame easily closed the distance between Ben and itself and claimed its target.
Kevin and Marello were unable to do anything as the flame engulfed the young hero. Kevin felt his heart beginning to crack as he watched the flames wrap around Ben's body. Believing his love was lost he dropped to his knees and was ready to shed tears. However even as he felt his soul being torn a sunder something felt off about the situation. The young Tennyson should have been crying out in pain if the acidic flames had reached him. As he took a closer look he noticed that a green barrier was separated the flames and Ben.
Ben who thought he was done for noticed the lack of pain as well and when finally opened his eyes and saw the barrier, he looked down at his summoner. Sure enough the watch was projecting a green beam of energy. He smiled at his watch and told it thanks.
Hearing its owner express his gratitude, the watch responded in a true Ben fashion. "Self-preservation of this unit and its user are top priority in battle."
Ben smirked at the watch when he looked at the 3D display. The display read the Omnitrix's system setup and Ben decided to pay this bitch back for ruining his vacation.
Acting quickly Ben slammed his hand down on protruding portion of his summoner and felt a good sensation run along his body. In his mind he saw the icy form of Arc and then felt the chill of his power burn into his body and soul. As the energy of the Algor Tempestas dragon began to merge with, he felt his body begin to morph.
As the transformation ended, the form Ben took was something he never expected. He was given a blue body with black and white spots on his arms and legs that resemble ice chunks, a light blue torso and large green eyes. He has three pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand and two toes on each foot and a third toe-like extension on his ankles.
Marello Knelt beside Kevin, and helped the dragon back on his feet. "Levin pull yourself together. Tennyson is fine. Once the transformation takes place Ben will instinctively be able to fight against his foe. He'll figure out his new skill in a moment trust me," Marello reassured.
Ben, who was looking himself over, turned back to the naga, who felt a shiver of fear run down her spine, and smirked. He then called out the creature's codename on instinct just as Marello stated.
"Big Chill."
The naga hissed at him once more and swung her arm at Big Chill. Ben, who still getting used to his new form, saw the arm coming at him, but didn't move from his place. As the arm came within centimeters from making contact his body vanished from sight. When the arm swung through the spot was Ben once was, much to Kevin and the naga's surprise, ice started forming. The cold caused the naga's body temperature to drop and started to weaken it. Ben soon reappeared with a smile stretched across his face.
"Well that was unexpected. I guess this new form has a few tricks I can use to beat you witch. Why don't you give up now and save us all the trouble of a fight," Ben stated cockily. Charmcaster hiss in response and slammed her hand against the remains of rock monsters. With a slight glance at her arms, she morphed them from snake heads into claws.
Ben groaned and prepared for the next assault. It didn't take long for the naga to begin her attack. She made swipes at Ben's torso with her newly formed claw. Ben let the swipe pass through him again, but this time he felt a great deal of pain exploded all over his body. He clutched his chest as he turned tangible again, and noticed that his chest had four jagged claw marks adorning him.
"Don't get cocky hero, my venom can melt anything even you when you're intangible. So don't think that little trick can save you now," was Charmcaster's rebuttal.
Ben glared for a moment and decided to show this chick was in control. Acting quickly, he opened his robes and spread them into a pair of wings. Jumping back, Ben got into the air and took a deep breath. After getting a deep breath, Ben unleashed an icy cold gust of wind. Not taking any chances now, Charmcaster ran her tail across the ground and kicked up a wall of sand and dirt. The icy wind met the cloud of dirt and created large chunks of ice. Cursing his luck Ben flew at Charmcaster and began pelting her with miniature icy gusts.
Just as Ben predicted, she either dodged the attack or used her tail to create another wall. What the naga didn't notice was that she was inching closer to Ben's real target.
The naga did all she could to keep from being frozen, but she started feeling the strain of her transformation. While most soul fusion have a max time of fifteen minutes, the two souls refrain from merging, Charmcaster had in this for almost twenty minutes pushing herself to the limit. The clone knew she didn't have to worry about the merging, but her partner may lose her soul if she kept this up too much longer.
The battle didn't last much longer, since Charmcaster's next wall was made of water. She panicked and tried to escape from the area, but Ben moved faster than she did. He quickly created another large icy wind and froze the water underneath and around her.
With the naga trapped permanently Ben smiled and flew back to Kevin and Marello. Both warriors were looking better than they were when Ben started fighting the clone.
"So did you two enjoy the show," the cocky brunet asked.
"Ben you should know not to toy with your enemy. You're lucky that she was almost as worn out as us. The battle would have ended much differently otherwise," Marello stated. He then reached into his pockets and pulled out a few iron coins. "Kevin, I need you absorb these coins and make me an iron chain. Charmcaster's clone won't remain in that form much longer and we need a way to keep her from using any mana she could still have."
Kevin released a dull sigh, while Ben pouted that his commander wasn't praising him like he had hoped.
Once the chains were forged, Marello went over to the block of ice and used a heat spell. The ice instantly turned into a puddle of water, and working as fast as lightning, Marello restrained the clone with the iron chains.
With all her power used up, the naga reverted back to a normal looking girl. While she did try to use her mana, she finally realized she was bound in iron, the only material known to negate most magicks.
The feeling of defeat washed over her, but instead looking overly gloomy, she released a heartbroken laugh. She began to mutter under her breath and looked at Marello and gave him a dark smile. "My master lost his key but it seems a new one is here to replace me."
As her last words were spoken, her body began to fade and vanish. While she faded her dark and heartbroken laugh filled the air.
The victors looked at one another confused by her statement but put no real thought behind them sense the clone was now gone.
Marello slumped onto the ground tired from all the fighting, but he never got a chance to rest as a whirled began to form a few away from his group.
The sand was kicked up in the whirl winds wake, and obscured the identity of the magick user. It wasn't until they heard a calm but teasing laugh did they release the tension they built up.
"Sorry boys didn't mean to scare you," the Anodite said holding a purple magical chain. At the end of said chain was none other than a downcast Charmcaster.
"I would have been here sooner, but the after effects of our little tussle caught up with me faster than I thought."
"Wait you beat her by yourself grandma," Ben asked with his jaw dropped. Said woman rolled her eyes and state she did. However looking at Marello and seeing all the damage done to the area, she deduced that they had a much more to deal with.
Shaking her head, the older magick user walked over to Marello and took his hand. "Boys, I hate to fight and run, but I should get our guest to the Cube, and have Marello checked over by David. So have fun and I'll see you when you get home." That was all the warning they got as Verdonna used her powers again transport away.
Ben stared at the spot where his grandmother was standing a moment ago and groaned. Kevin tentatively turned to his lover and asked what was wrong.
"Oh nothing. We just missed our chance to get teleported back to our room. Now we're gonna have to find a way but the cliff and back to your car," Ben explained.
As explanation sunk in, Kevin groaned as well. However a before any griping could be made, a trinket appeared above Ben's head. The brunet cautiously took hold of it and found it was a pendant with a note attached to it.
Oh and before you start your whining Ben, here's at amulet that will transport you and Kevin and whatever else you brought with you back to your hotel. I know this fight took a lot out of you, so here's my way of saying I'm glad you're okay.
~Love Grandma XOXO
Ben smiled at the note and took Kevin's hand started thinking about their room and let the magick of the amulet do the rest…
Okay this has been a long one to write with me being in school. Sorry for the delay again I hope you enjoyed. Thanks again for reading and reviewing that got me in the mood to write this one.

Why we are building Fleep?
I'd like to kickoff Fleep blog with my thoughts on why we came together as a team and why we are building Fleep.
The start was easy – while working at Skype we used Skype IM as our main collaboration tool. We saw the advantages of chat collaboration over email, at the same time Skype IM had several shortcomings with message delivery so we thought why not to build a better chat ourselves.
When we started to look into market and talked to people we understood that building better chat than Skype is nice but there's actually much bigger opportunity ahead of us – we should build a viable alternative to email conversations. Despite various IM and collaboration tools being on the market for long time, email is still the main communication channel in work related conversations. So there has to be something in email which drives people back to this 40+ years old technology. We wanted to understand what it is and can we do anything about it.
If we compared email to IM services then above everything else two things stood out:
- Email is universal – the ability to write to anyone who has an email address makes email de facto standard for work communication
- Email is built for sending letters not to host conversations – while email apps try to present the letters in a conversation-like view they can't do much about the underlying technology. IM is built from ground up around conversation metaphor, where membership, topic, messages and files are all combined together and it has clear advantage here.
So our conclusion was – there is a gap in the communication market between open but technically limited email and IM services – we should close this gap and become viable alternative for your work conversations. That's why we are building Fleep.

The U.S. on Tuesday called for a complete and fair 'acknowledgement' of the facts surrounding the 1915 events.
"The president and other senior administration officials have repeatedly acknowledged as historical fact, and mourned the fact, that 1.5 million Armenians were massacred or marched to their deaths in the final days of the Ottoman Empire," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.
"A full, frank and just acknowledgement of the fact is in all our interests, including Turkey's, Armenia's and America's," she said. "Nations are stronger and they progress by acknowledging and reckoning with pretty painful elements of their past." added Marie Harf.

To think, I used to want to come outside all the time and start an adventure. Boy am I glad The Matron stopped me! I think to myself. That angel dude Rafael and the others departed. I stick my head out from the trees glancing to each side, when I'm sure the coast is clear, I causiously creep out.
My senses are on full alert as I start to run down the street to the next safe house. Hopefully they'll have some essentials I could have. I hear a sound to the side and from the corner of my eye I see something lunge at me. Before either of us know anything, I spin on one foot in an anti-clockwise formation wacking the creature around the face. It falls to ground, shocked with my own power I stare down at the unconcious body on the floor, Don't even think about helping it. The voice says.
I-I- I wasn't... Sorry.
Whatever, just MOVE! I do as it says and run as far as I possibly can to the next safe house.

It has not been plain sailing for BNP Paribas in the US since an $8.9 billion settlement in 2014 for enabling transactions from sanctioned countries. But in Bank of the West, BNP Paribas retains one of the top 30 banks in the country, with $75.7 billion in assets. The US holding company, BancWest, which also includes First Hawaiian Bank, has close to 600 offices in 23 states. Last year, BancWest's revenues (in euro terms) rose 26.7% and it provided BNP Paribas with €910 million in pre-tax income, confirming its standing as one of the main contributors to the group's results. That was more than either the Belgian or Italian businesses. It also enjoyed solid growth in the first quarter of 2016, with deposits up 5.1% year-on-year, and loans up 7.5%. By comparison, Santander's US business has been sputtering for the last three years. HSBC's acquisition of Household International led to it having to sell almost half of its US retail branches and its credit card division. RBS sold its last remaining stake in Citizens Bank last year. Indeed, alongside BBVA with BBVA Compass, BNP Paribas is in a league of its own. Many European banks are also exiting wealth management in the US. Barclays sold its US brokerage to Stifel last summer. Credit Suisse offloaded its US wealth management arm to Wells Fargo. Deutsche Bank sold Alex Brown to Raymond James. Other than UBS, only BNP Paribas is sticking around. BNP Paribas says it wants to become one of the top five European banks in the US – which is typically unambitious of the French bank – but the truth is, it could well become one of the top three. That's thanks to its ability to act like a community bank, a commercial bank and a global wealth manager all at the same time. There are capital pressures, however. BNP Paribas is preparing for an IPO of First Hawaiian Bank, which analysts welcome for the capital boost, while fretting about the loss of future earnings. Some are even asking if the same may be planned for Bank of the West, although the bank's global leadership dismiss this. Nandita Bakhshi, Bank of the West Group executives in Paris talk enthusiastically about the recent hire of Nandita Bakhshi as CEO of Bank of the West. A veteran of TD Bank and Washington Mutual, she has extensive experience in both US consumer banking and in the development of digital channels. She also provides a pointed answer to those critics who complain that BNPP only promotes senior executives from within. BNP merged the French Bank of California with Bank of the West in 1980. In 1998, First Hawaiian Bank merged with Bank of the West and a separate holding company was formed to include the two US entities – BancWest Corporation. Now, as other foreign banks in the US are being forced to establish an intermediate holding company, BNP Paribas has a head start. Bank of the West passed the Federal Reserve's Dodd-Frank Act stress tests in 2014 and in 2015. Santander stumbled at the stress tests, while Deutsche Bank failed last year. Senior executives at BNP Paribas talk a lot about synergies and integration across divisions, but in the US analysts say that the decision to keep Bank of the West fairly separate and apply a hands-off approach has worked well. Its success is partly a happy accident of geography. Being headquartered in San Francisco has had distinct advantages when it comes to fintech and digital banking. Andy Harmening, vice-chairman of consumer banking, says Bank of the West has been investing in innovation for the last eight years on its own. It has been partnering with several fintech firms, as well as fintech incubator Plug and Play. At the same time, in BNP Paribas, Bank of the West finds an enthusiastic partner. The French bank has invested heavily in technology and digitization across the world. It also has one of its L'Atelier BNP Paribas offices in San Francisco where it connects with tech entrepreneurs. That commitment from the parent has given Bank of the West a boost. For example, the multi-channel customer relationship management platform for Bank of the West has been mutualized from that of BNP Paribas' domestic market. Harmening says: "We are now able to use data to tell us what clients prefer as a channel – the branch, ATM, digital – and then we can build the user experience around that."

After $55 Million Fix, N.J. Hands Slice of Beach to Party Pierby
'Jersey Shore' town favors private developer's expansion plan
Outcry in a state where fees, limited access define oceanfront
It's cost U.S. taxpayers $55 million and counting to restore Seaside Heights, a 0.3-square-mile New Jersey shore town, after the state's most destructive natural disaster. Soon a slice of its public beach will be gone forever, buried beneath a private amusement pier.
The construction project, the borough says, is key to maintaining the lucrative tourism vibe captured on "Jersey Shore," MTV's study of frisky young singles and their hot tub. Though new thrill rides will draw crowds, a boon to a town still recovering from Hurricane Sandy and a massive fire, it's more development in the path of inevitable Atlantic Ocean storms.
"How many more businesses do you need?" Matt DeRosa, a 33-year-old emergency dispatcher vacationing from Westchester, New York, said on Aug. 25 as he sat on a boardwalk bench. "In the off season, it's not even going to be used."
Visitors to New Jersey's 127-mile (204-kilometer) shoreline pay as much as $10 to step on the sand, a practice unheard of in other East Coast vacation spots. Even those who've never set foot in New Jersey have a stake in its oceanfront, with taxpayers shouldering $9 billion so far in Sandy recovery aid, plus more than $1 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to replenish beach sand washed away over three decades.
Legal Challenge
"The public's making investments that benefit the state," said Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society, a coastal advocate that has filed a legal challenge to Seaside Heights' transfer of one of its 16 oceanfront blocks to the owner of Casino Pier. "We have one little town making decisions that the entire public has invested in."
Throughout the U.S., beach disputes can drag through courts for years, pitting rights of private property owners against the public's, whose access to navigable waters is rooted in ancient English common law.
In California, Sun Microsystems Inc. co-founder Vinod Khosla has been fighting a lawsuit filed by advocates for Martins Beach, about 35 miles south of San Francisco, over 53 acres he bought in 2008 and closed to surfers and other visitors. In New Hampshire, with just 13 miles of oceanfront, the state's highest court in May ruled that a couple couldn't block residents of 100 neighboring houses from crossing their backyard to reach the beach.
Sandy Toes
In New Jersey, access to sand and surf, the core of the state's $42.1 billion tourism industry, is increasingly under threat. Some towns ban oceanside smoking and eating, and debate ever-tougher parking ordinances that favor residents over day-trippers. Long Beach Island, where water-view homes fetch millions of dollars, is notorious for unauthorized no-trespassing signs falsely warning visitors from public beach entrances.
Republican Governor Chris Christie, 53, is fighting shore-front homeowners in court for easements that the Army Corps says it needs before work can begin to build protective dunes. It's not just the tourism industry at stake: The four Jersey Shore counties have combined property value, for tax purposes, of $293.5 billion -- about a third of the state's total.
Changing Tides
Sand pumped from the ocean floor, though, requires replacement about every four years, plus emergency repairs when storms strike. Year to year, funding gets less certain, as congressional Republicans object to the 66 percent federal cost share. Warmer ocean temperatures in the next century, meanwhile, will lead to stronger and more frequent typhoons and hurricanes worldwide, according to 2013 research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a journal of the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit group.
Seaside Heights, made famous by the drunken escapades of Snooki and her housemates, was devastated in October 2012 by Sandy. The Casino Pier's roller coaster plunged into the ocean, becoming a symbol of the storm's might. Funtown, a pier several blocks south, was badly damaged, and then destroyed a year later when fire swept the boardwalk.
Under a plan approved this year by the state, the Casino Pier's owners intend to rebuild its amusements over sand instead of over water. As part of the deal, Seaside Heights is trading 1.4 acres of a public beach -- valued at more than $4 million -- for 67 acres of out-of-town wetlands, a parking lot and an historic carousel.
Budget Gap
The borough says it has no choice: Struggling with a smaller tax base, it asked the state this year for help to close a $2.7 million budget gap. In a town where just 3,000 people live year-round, the swap is "a critical way to stimulate the local economy," according to a state filing.
"While we're losing some beach, we're also going to be able to pick up a lot of beach through the Army Corps project, so the public will be able to use that," Christopher Vaz, the borough administrator, said by telephone. The out-of-town wetlands, he added, was the best conservation move. "We're mostly asphalt," he said.
Construction will start in September on the Casino Pier expansion, according to Maria Mastoris, a spokeswoman for the owner. Environmental rules made duplicating the original design too costly, she said, and too risky in the event of another storm.
"It's always been a tourism town," Mastoris said by telephone. "It's definitely going to bring more tourism to us."
Open Space
In legal papers filed Aug. 12 in the appellate division of Superior Court in Mercer County, the littoral society and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation claim the deal violates state land-preservation law.
The 67 acres offered in exchange for the beach are in Toms River, nine miles west of the ocean, and are "inexpensive, undevelopable and inaccessible wetlands" valued at about $280,000, according to a statement issued by the groups. The groups also criticized the inclusion of the carousel, a boardwalk staple since 1932 that's valued at $2 million, saying that "nostalgic 'things"' can't be substituted for a public resource.
One boardwalk visitor said the swap was worth it. Bill Boytim, a 77-year-old AT&T Inc. retiree from Toms River, recalled putting his two girls on the carousel "when they were babies," he said in an interview on the boardwalk. Future families should have that experience, he said.
"When they heard that the horses were going to be sold off individually, they were crying," Boytim said of his daughters, now in their 40s.
Others said their own memories were more tied to the oceanfront. DeRosa, the dispatcher from New York, was on a weeklong vacation with his girlfriend, Lisa DeRienzo, a 32-year-old teacher and owner of a nanny-referral service, comparing long-ago family holidays in Seaside. After Sandy, they said, New Jersey should hold on to whatever beach is left.
"You can't make any more," DeRienzo said.

I Was Told I Could Not Get a Tatto over my Tummy Tuck Scar by an Tatto Artist Its Been 4 Months Why is This
I Was Told I Cannot Get a Tattoo Over a Tummy Tuck Scar Although it has Been Four Months, Why is this?
Doctor Answers 4
Ask your tattoo artist
Web reference: https://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/
Waiting to tattoo a scar
The tattoo artist may be concerned about color changes in your scar. At four months, it is likely still pink or red. It's likely prudent to wait for it to fade so your tattoo artist can get the colors just right.
Tattoos over scars.
If a scar is well healed, I don't see any issue with having a tattoo placed over it. We recommend this all the time in nipple reconstruction following breast cancer. There's no physiologic reason that I can think of for recommending against this. A simple phone call to your plastic surgeon to understand why you are recommended against a tattoo sounds reasonable.

Tattoo over Tummy Tuck Scar
Thank you for your question.
I am not sure why you were given that advise, but maybe things haven't completely healed after your tummy tuck surgery and your surgeon wants to wait until everything is 100% healed. It is good to address this question with your plastic surgeon.
I have had many of my tummy tuck patients get tattoos over the incision line without complications.
Best wishes.

When the host nation launch the eight-team tournament against France at Stoke tomorrow, their manager, Ted Powell, will be choosing from an embarrassment of attacking riches. He nominates Paul Scholes, a 'ginger-haired livewire' from Manchester United, as the player with the greatest potential to emulate Ryan Giggs, but such are the talents at his disposal that Scholes will be asked to strike from midfield.
Candidates for the front roles include Julian Joachim, a veritable veteran who averaged a goal every other game for Leicester in the First Division last season; Jamie Forrester and Noel Whelan, who combined effectively in Leeds's FA Youth Cup triumph in May and already have Premier League experience; Robbie Fowler, of whom Liverpool have great hopes; and Kevin Gallen, who hit 64 goals for Queen's Park Rangers' youth team last term.
Taylor watched the England squad go through their paces yesterday at the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall in rural Shropshire. Powell, who captained Sutton United in their famous FA Cup tie with Don Revie's Leeds in 1970 and has a varied managerial CV which includes spells with Wycombe Wanderers and the Malawi national team, believes he has several future internationals in his charge.
'This is an exceptionally gifted group, and I'll be very disappointed if a number of them didn't eventually make it to the full national XI,' he said. 'That's the important question - whether we can produce players who can go on to that level. We can't work in isolation. We're part of a chain.
'But a lot depends what happens in the clubs, because I know some of the lads don't get much coaching after youth level. Some are not encouraged to pass to each other but to hit balls into channels, which isn't appropriate for international football.'
Powell's England, captained by the Tottenham defender and former FA National School pupil Darren Caskey, will eschew the 'hurly burly' and 'aerial combat' he sees in too many junior games. They will 'get the ball down and play'. He added: 'Winning the Youth Cup, for example, helps build confidence, but the main point of youth football is to develop players.'
Recent results - which include 7-2 and 4-2 home victories over Switzerland and Denmark respectively, a 1-1 draw in Spain and a 5-0 win in Denmark last week - suggest that Powell's feeling that England have a good chance of winning the tournament for the first time since the 1980 team of Gary Mabbutt and Mark Hateley is far from fanciful.
The drubbing of the Danes was all the more impressive in that it was achieved without five players from Leeds and four from Manchester United. Both clubs, concerned that their best prospects risked premature 'burn-out' or stress fractures by playing too much football, now face FA charges for withdrawing them from the start of England's preparations.
Powell has been pleased by the condition and attitude of Scholes and company. However, their late arrival means he has spent valuable time assessing their fitness levels when he would rather have been working on strategy and technique.
With three stiff group matches in five days, England will need to be at their sharpest and strongest if they are to contest next Sunday's final at Nottingham. Turkey, the holders, are in the other half of the draw, as are Portugal, who have had notable success in translating teenage potential into international quality. Yet both fared poorly in this year's World Championship in Australia, when England finished third.
'This tournament offers a good chance to compare our top young players against the best in Europe,' Powell said. 'I just hope our boys play as well as they've been practising.'
ENGLAND SQUAD (European Under-18 Championship, 18-25 July): Day, Campbell, Caskey, (all Tottenham Hotspur), Casper, Scholes, Butt, G Neville (all Manchester United), Sharp, Tinkler, Forrester, Bowman, Whelan (all Leeds United), Fowler (Liverpool), Gallen (Queen's Park Rangers), Joachim (Leicester), Marshall (Norwich City).
