I'm So Happy To Be Part of Stacy Juba's Blog Tour
Fooling Around With Sleeping Beauty
Releases Today!
Do you love sweet romance novels that make you laugh? Then you'll want to check out Stacy Juba's brand new chick lit novel, Prancing Around With Sleeping Beauty, the second book in the Storybook Valley series. The book was released March 5, and while it's a follow-up to the popular Fooling Around With Cinderella, both novels can also be read as stand-alones. Come discover Storybook Valley, a fictional theme park in the Catskills of New York. If you love small town romance with humorous characters, theme parks, fairy tale fun, and amazing love stories, then Storybook Valley will be your new favorite series.
This Sleeping Beauty isn't sure she wants to wake up…
Dance instructor Rory Callahan likes to play it safe. When she meets Kyle, he's impulsive, persistent, and her exact opposite. He's pushing her to tango way past her comfort zone and keeping Rory on her toes more than twenty years of dance teachers ever had.
Unfortunately, he's the grandson of her family's archrival and she doesn't want to disappoint them. After all, her parents imagine her as a proper princess – hence her namesake Aurora, AKA Sleeping Beauty. Complicating matters, Rory's also dealing with a surgeon boyfriend who's perfect for her (sort of), an obnoxious boss, and desperate dance moms. Kyle wants to change her whole life, but Rory doesn't like the stakes. After all, princesses are the ones who get the happy endings. . .aren't they?
My Review:
Prancing Around With Sleeping Beauty is the second novel in the Storybook Valley Series. I enjoyed book one, Fooling Around With Cinderella, so I couldn't wait to read its sequel. Just as I knew it would be, Prancing Around With Sleeping Beauty was just as good as the first book. It's well crafted with rich details, witty dialogue, and a captivating plot.
Rory Callahan has been teaching dance for years. Although it was comforting to know that she was a valued employee, her dream has always been, to open her own dance studio. But before that could happen, major decisions would have to be made. All of them, unfortunately, will shake up not only her world but many others as well.
Kyle Thorne has become a significant distraction for Rory. He was all, she could think about. The main problem with Rory's preoccupation was, that she already had a steady boyfriend. She has known Brad for years. Rory was supposed to marry him. And why wouldn't she want to? He was well-liked, good-looking, easy to be with, and a doctor. But that was just it, Rory was comfortable with Brad, but not happy or passionate. Kyle, on-the-other-hand, was spontaneous, funny, hot, and forbidden. Kyle, was also; unfortunately, the grandson of her grandfather's greatest rival.
Rory will have to decide whether keeping the peace with those around her is worth giving up her own joy and sense of adventure. Rory has always played the peacemaker in the family, but, isn't time for her to let go of that responsibility? Does Rory dare to risk giving up a steady job, and a boyfriend she has had for years, just for a chance at true happiness and love?
Prancing Around with Sleeping Beauty is a sweet, light, and funny romance. I loved it.
Thank you, Stacy Juba, for my complimentary copy of Prancing Around With Sleeping Beauty.
~5 out of 5 stars~Review by Peg Glover
Barnes & Noble
Twilight had descended over the strip mall which also contained a pizza place, children's art studio, New Age shop, bakery, and a consignment store with identical brick facades. A long sidewalk connected the storefronts. Rory's phone chirped and she scanned a text as she strolled through the parking lot. A message from her older brother Jake, who lived in Maine.
Happy 25th. What new rose crap did you get this year?
Instead of making her chuckle, his joke elicited a sigh. She missed Jake and his toddler Quinn, but he never came home anymore thanks to a stupid fight with their parents. They went ballistic after he got a girl pregnant and accused him of ruining his life. Jake and the mother broke up, not surprising since she was a total flake, but he got an apartment a couple blocks away from her to be near his daughter. His absence meant he couldn't take over the theme park, leaving room for Dylan to step forward.
Heading toward her car, she replied: Don't know yet. I'm on my—
Augh! Rory stumbled over something and toppled to the ground, her phone sailing through the air. Her right hand slammed against the pavement, and pain seared through her. Sitting up, she glared at the object that had blocked her path. A spiky creature in a plastic carrier glared back at her.
Rory blinked. She could accept a black cat crossing her path, but she owed her unceremonious spill to a needle-infested rodent?
"Who leaves a porcupine in the middle of the parking lot?" she demanded.
"Who trips over a huge animal carrier? Oh, right, someone who's texting while walking." A brown-haired guy in a khaki zookeeper uniform and boots loomed over her. She stiffened at his words until she noticed the dimples sprinkled with cinnamon freckles. He wasn't mad, just amused. "And it's not a porcupine. It's a hedgehog."
"What's the difference? It was still in the middle of the parking lot."
He crouched beside her. "For starters, hedgehogs have shorter quills that can't easily come off their bodies, while a porcupine's quills can easily detach themselves. On average a hedgehog has 7,000 quills while a porcupine has approximately 30,000. And a porcupine can grow to triple the size, between 25-and-36 inches."
"It was a rhetorical question." Rory risked a glance at her throbbing hand and winced. Blood dripped down her finger.
"I'll admit that you're worse off than Turbo. Don't go anywhere. I'll get the first aid kit."
Mr. Porcupine Expert disappeared into a green van so garish, it almost distracted Rory from her pain. Painted animal heads peered out of big circles and orange letters proclaimed the monstrosity a Zoo Mobile—with paw prints forming the double 'o' in zoo. It wouldn't surprise Rory if a white rabbit in a waistcoat popped out from the Day-Glo monstrosity, muttering about being late . . . for a tea party at her house using Wendy's bumpy placemats. She groaned, deciphering the smaller words beneath the paw prints. 'Duke's Animal World.'
She'd always considered her family's rivalry with Duke Thorne a bit ridiculous, but now Rory related to her granddad's agitation. Thanks to sprawling over one of Duke's stupid hedgehogs, she might have sprained her finger.
Shifting position, Rory glowered through the cage at the spiky black ball that had caused all the trouble. It huffed and puffed, quills poking outward, a breathing pincushion. My . . . she hadn't realized hedgehogs had such tiny eyes. And what a cute button nose. This little guy—Turbo?—seemed skittish.
"Hey, there, Turbo," she murmured. "Guess it was my fault, too. Did I scare you?"
"He'll be okay." The dimpled zookeeper reappeared with her cell phone, along with a toolbox-sized red first aid kit. He unlatched the kit, opened a box of gauze pads, and bent beside her. "Let's apply pressure to stop the bleeding."
"I can do it." Rory squashed the pad against the cut, her cheeks heating, whether from his boyish good looks, or the mortification of falling over a hedgehog, she didn't know. She hoped he couldn't detect her blush under the lampposts' dim glow. She rested her wrist on her knee. "What are you and Turbo doing here, anyway?"
"The art studio had a zoo night. The kids decorated animal statues and then I did a presentation. I was just about to load my last animal, Turbo, into the van when you went flying." He jerked his thumb toward the Zoo Mobile. "I've also got a red-eyed tree frog, bearded dragon, chinchilla, and domestic rabbit."
"Is it a white rabbit?" Rory muttered.
Mr. Porcupine Expert elevated a brow. "Not this time. What's your story? What were you doing here?"
"I'm an instructor at the dance studio. We were having an open house. I got a text, and apparently, I wasn't watching where I was going." Rory battled the temptation to peek under the gauze.
"Let me get this straight. You're a dancer? I thought dancers were graceful." His brown eyes crinkled with amusement. Their shade reminded her of a caramel latte, warm and inviting.
"I am graceful! This was an isolated incident."
"Uh-huh. I'm Kyle, by the way. And you're . . .?"
"How about I make it up to you with free zoo tickets? You can come meet Turbo's parents. I'm sure they'll forgive you if I explain that you're a dancer with two left feet."
He wore such a deadpan expression that Rory almost laughed. His dry comic delivery must enliven his presentations. Her grandmother Lois, Storybook Valley's self-appointed entertainment director, would remark that Kyle had charisma.
Rory might enjoy touring the zoo with him, but her granddad would lock her in with the lions if she ventured onto his rival's property. Growing up, she had never been allowed to visit Duke's. "Thanks, but that's okay. As I was telling Turbo here, it was my fault. I should have been more aware of my surroundings."
She peered into the cage. Was it her imagination, or did Turbo look calmer now in Kyle's presence? His quills had relaxed, laying down and pointing toward the back.
Kyle picked up the animal carrier and straightened to his full height. "How about I show you my passengers while you're applying pressure? The least I can do is keep you entertained during your misery."
After a hesitation, Rory climbed to her feet and trailed him to the Zoo Mobile. With her left hand, she finished a clumsily misspelled text to Jake, omitting mention of the accident. Otherwise, her brothers would ask her for the next month if she had tripped over any hedgehogs lately.
She leaned against the van as Kyle slid the bearded dragon's carrier out the side door and positioned Turbo's cage in its place. Over the next ten minutes, he explained how many bearded dragon species existed (nine) and what they ate (insects). If Rory ever appeared on a TV game show, she hoped they quizzed her on bearded dragons, porcupines, and hedgehogs.
Kyle discussed animals the same way Brad talked about robotic-assisted surgery. She wondered if Kyle had a college degree. Her guess was no. After all, how much schooling did it take to drive a Zoo Mobile? Once you memorized the spiel and learned how to care for the animals, what else was there to learn? As an employee that far down the company ladder, Kyle probably wasn't aware of the Callahan feud.
After the bearded dragon lecture, Rory washed her cut and rubbed in bacitracin ointment. Kyle unwrapped a large Band-Aid, but instead of extending it to her, he pressed the patch over her skin. As their fingers touched, a shivery sensation whispered down Rory's spine.
I am not attracted to the zoo guy.

Those using the 13th Street Bridge for daily travel may want to consider alternate routes from Tuesday. June 4 to Saturday, June 8. The bridge is being reserved so a high-end sports car can do a high-dive into the Chattahoochee River.
A case of outrageously bad driving? To the contrary, seasoned pros will coordinate the stunt as part of "Need for Speed," a new film starring Michael Keaton, Dominic Cooper and Aaron Paul. Billed as a "racing action movie" and based on the popular video game, it is scheduled for release early next year. According to Patrick Mignano of NFS Productions/Dreamworks Studios, the bridge scene features a sports car that spins, then flips over the rails and into the river. He says four days are needed to complete the 15-20 second sequence because "everything's got to be controlled. Everything has to be precise."
City officials and other organizations are preparing for the temporary closure of the 13 th Street Bridge, one of four routes connecting Columbus with Phenix City. Police will be posted at major intersections during peak traffic times: Uptown Columbus and the Chamber of Commerce are providing updated information to members and major employers. Commuters in the north Columbus and Phenix City areas should use the J.R. Allen Parkway. For those on the south side of the cities, the Oglethorpe Bridge/U.S. 280 route would be the best bet. The River City Rush will remain open, but boaters may experience delays during filming. Most would agree that a short wait is preferrable to sharing their kayak with a car.
Additional "Need for Speed" scenes will be filmed on Interstate 185 and Manchester Expressway. Production personnel will coordinate activities with the Georgia Department of Transportation and no road closures are planned. 13th Street will remain open on both sides of the river during bridge filming, but the section of Third Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets in Phenix City will be reserved from June 1 through 8 for equipment and staging. Around 200 crew members will be in town to work on the segments.
Will "Need for Speed" launch a franchise that rivals the "Fast and Furious" series? Time (and ticket sales) will tell. In the meantime, Columbus can lay claim to a piece of the action flick, even though the city will be serving as a "stunt double" for rural New York. With Georgia ranked as one of the top five U.S. states for TV and film production, there's potential for future projects to land in our backyard…or plunge from one of our bridges.
13th Street Bridge Closes for Movie Shoot
Those using the 13th Street Bridge for daily travel may want to consider alternate routes from Tuesday. June 4 to Saturday, June 8. The bridge is being reserved so a high-end sports car can do a high-dive into the Chattahoochee River.

Been enjoying the milder weather over the past couple days? The cooler temps and shorter days are nice, but they're all pointing to one thing: winter is just around the corner! This fall when you're getting ready to shut off your air conditioner for good, take a few extra minutes to see if there's anything you can do to improve your system's efficiency. Trust us, a little extra effort now can save you a whole lot of time and money next spring!
While you may not know exactly what you're looking for, it always helps to check your compressor for signs of damage, including cracks in the body, rust and bent fins. This is especially important as your air conditioner gets older. Remember, your AC is designed to last about 10 – 15 years, so when it starts to get up there in age, problems can develop – but many can be prevented if caught early on. After you've given your unit a once-over, call an HVAC contractor to do a more in-depth inspection to target any potential trouble areas.
Once your air conditioner is packed up for the winter (we'll explain how to do this in a future blog post), have your HVAC contractor inspect your furnace. By having a furnace inspection before you turn your furnace on for the winter, you can ensure it will run efficiently all season long.
Using a heat pump? It should be inspected too! Heat pumps work twice as hard as your furnace or air conditioner, so it's even more important that you have them inspected professionally at the start of each season – you want to get as much life out of them as possible!
Hopefully you remembered to do this over the summer! You can probably take a break from changing your filters for a few months while you're not running your HVAC systems as hard, but once it gets cold and you crank up your furnace to full blast, remember to swap out your filters once a month. If you don't do this, they'll get clogged up and block airflow from the furnace.
It's almost 2013 – if you're still using a mercury-based thermostat, you're way behind on the times! Mercury-based thermometers are not as accurate as programmable thermostats, which means that even when you think you're setting the temperature to an efficient level (68 F in the winter!), the real amount of energy you're using could fluctuate wildly! We've written a lot about the benefits of programmable thermostats in the past – if you haven't already, make this winter the year you install a programmable thermostat!
When was the last time you had your ducts cleaned? While you don't need to do it often, you should have them cleaned every couple years and inspected for things like punctures, dents and gaps. Damaged, leaky ducts can reduce your furnace efficiency and raise your heating costs by up to 30 percent!
You're probably going to be spending a lot more time inside once the temperatures drop. The problem is that indoor air warmed by a furnace or heat pump can still be uncomfortable! As hot air is pumped into your home, it evaporates all the moisture in the air, which can lead to dry itchy skin, cracked furniture and a variety of respiratory grievances. A humidifier will add that moisture back into the air, alleviating most of these problems!
But there's more you need to think about than just being comfortable. If you're running a gas furnace, there's also a safety issue – which is why you should install a carbon monoxide detector! If you're running your furnace 24/7 during the winter, there's a chance that something could go wrong and interfere with the fuel burning. This, in turn, can create carbon monoxide, which can leak into your home and be a potentially fatal problem. If you find yourself or your family feeling nauseous, light headed and fatigued for seemingly no reason this winter, get out of the house immediately and call 911, the gas company and James A. Wheat & Sons immediately! Then, install a low-level carbon monoxide detector so you'll be able to keep your family safe all year long.
If you're looking for more ways to save money and live more comfortably this winter, there's only one name you need to know – James A. Wheat & Sons!

Though unlike Apple Pie it's a subject never brought up in "polite conversaion. Or any other sort of conversation for that matter.
Consider this primary example of it.
"The Wounded Knee Massacre was committed on December 29, 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek (Lakota: Čhaŋkpé Ópi Wakpála) on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, USA. On the day before, a detachment of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment commanded by Major Samuel M. Whitside intercepted Spotted Elk's band of Miniconjou Lakota and 38 Hunkpapa Lakota near Porcupine Butte and escorted them 5 miles westward (8 km) to Wounded Knee Creek where they made camp.
The rest of the 7th Cavalry Regiment arrived led by Colonel James Forsyth and surrounded the encampment supported by four Hotchkiss guns.
On the morning of December 29, the troops went into the camp to disarm the Lakota. One version of events claims that during the process of disarming the Lakota, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant to give up his rifle, claiming he had paid a lot for it. A scuffle over Black Coyote's rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in the 7th Cavalry's opening fire indiscriminately from all sides, killing men, women, and children, as well as some of their own fellow troopers. Those few Lakota warriors who still had weapons began shooting back at the attacking troopers, who quickly suppressed the Lakota fire. The surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many who were unarmed.
By the time it was over, at least 150 men, women, and children of the Lakota Sioux had been killed and 51 wounded (4 men, 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead at 300. Twenty-five troopers also died, and 39 were wounded (6 of the wounded would later die).It is believed that many were the victims of friendly fire, as the shooting took place at close range in chaotic conditions. At least twenty troopers were awarded the coveted Medal of Honor
The site has been designated a National Historic Landmark."
Murdering "at least 150 men, women, and children" certainly calls for a landmark. But America is far less interested in that than it is in repression of its crimes.
Please note "a man you must fear and respect"
that's because he's
"a rare kind of course. . .never thinking of himself as martyred" working at the behest of "people who dared to challenge a hostile line."
Stealing other people's land is of course quite daring — especilly when you slaughter them in order to do so. But the slaughtrer Ford shows is of that of the whites, killed by native Americans trying desperately to defend themselves.
"What do you want me to do? Draw you a picture?" is of course the "polite" way of saying that a white woman was raped. This is also why Wayne tells Jeffrey Hunter to "stand back." . Hewas searching for Nataliie Wood in order to kill her because she had had sexual reations with a non-white. At the very last minuite he changes his mind and lets her live.
Shutting the door on the whole thing.
Very sentimental, no?
In any event it's something well worth thinking about on the Fourth of July. Right kids?

I've lived in a tiny space (a bus, not a Tiny House) for three years now and it's fundamentally changed my perspective on most of my life. I'm going to quickly take you through some of these changes because it was this experience which has bought me to instigating The Tiny House Collaborative.
The first and most obvious change was getting rid of most of my stuff. This was difficult for me but I think as it might happen for most people - the more I got rid of, the easier it got. The reason it gets easier is you start to feel lighter, more freedom; and if you've never experienced this then my honest recommendation is: you should, it's addictive. Having less stuff also in a curious way starts to sharpen your own sense of self, it's like you get more comfortable inside your own skin as if in some way the stuff you own subconsciously has a hand in defining you.
The second and more important change is the realisation that there is no point in buying anything because you have nowhere to put it. If you do buy something it becomes a big deal because you either have to lose something else or you have to sacrifice some space which is quite a big deal.
You will likely as a result of this, buy really good food instead and eat that. This is my favourite part.
The third change is you find there's a lot going on outside because it's right there (and often quieter than parenting four boys in a mobile tin can). This means more exercise, more fresh air and a much busier social life.
The fourth change isn't related to the space but rather the technology. It used to be that to fully engage in the society around you, you needed a telephone number and a street address. Nowadays the mobile has replaced the need for a land line and email has *almost* (I'm looking at you local democracy) replaced the need for a street address. This ability to fully function while of no fixed abode is possibly the most overlooked advantage that technology has gifted us. If you intend to move a lot in your tiny house then, this is quite important. It's also important to note, the designs and technology exist to make these spaces very liveable, warm and healthy. Healthy homes is an especially important issue right now in New Zealand.
Finally an experience. I remember when I was a councillor on a local NZ district council and a certain rather highly paid council staff member dropped me home in his fancy vehicle. As we pulled up he actually made quite distinct disapproval noises at the sight of my inner city character house (which admittedly I was painting at the time). This has remained both humorous and bewildering to me, humorous that people take these buildings as status symbols so seriously and bewildering that people take these buildings as status symbols so seriously.
The summation of these changes and experiences is what made me personally sit up and take notice of the Tiny house movement. Suddenly a house wasn't the life mission, it could be a pocket knife for life - it could be precisely all you needed it to be with just the technology that you required. It was the ability to change location because of work or lifestyle without having to fund lawyers just to sell your house and buy a new one, you didn't even really need to pack. This is how I came to appreciate Tiny Houses.
Being mobile for three years around New Zealand you often find yourself parked on the outsides of society. The places where councillors like myself wisely decided those generally irksome freedom campers would be most out of view of our beloved rate payers. What I've found is it's in those same places where you often find those without the glamorous luxury of an 11m bus, or van and with no house to go to. It was after a sad incident in Tauranga when we unwittingly stole a visibly stressed woman's park for the night that a sense of conviction set in. I could see that the combination of my council experience with my belief in Tiny Houses put me in a fairly unique position to help the two (councils and tiny houses) get along better and that if the two did get along better it'd mean a lot more happiness and safety for many people.
Which brings me to the problem.
Tiny Houses are currently seen as a way to get around council rules. But they actually don't quite. Yes they quite cleanly (or so it appears) get around building consents by being on trailers. But from the data I have already, in most of New Zealand they'll end up requiring resource consents. So yes while your Tiny House is (simplistically) "legal" it's often only the case if you don't live in it for more than three months on any piece of land. To make things more complicated this is potentially quite varied all around the country as it's governed by the 60-70 odd councils we have and their district plans. Being a non complying activity (by virtue of the fact their concept doesn't exist in the planning documents) leaves the Tiny House owner at the mercy of their neighbours and/or a comparatively large resource consent fee.
This isn't much of a solution.
Overseas there are councils that are changing their plans to make Tiny Houses a permitted activity (this means no resource consent required if certain conditions are met - just like building a compliant house in a residential zone). The reasons they are doing this is there are a number of compelling reasons why the Tiny House concept is quite a useful construct in helping Councils fulfil their role.
The Tiny House represents a flexibility that Councils can add into their planning that no other option gives them. It gives them added flexibility around population growth and housing shortages. It gives them flexibility around temporary land use and population density and it allows them to get better utilisation of their infrastructure and support local businesses by increasing the numbers of people able to live in proximity to those businesses.
For council's communities it allows people to respond to life events in a much more flexible and healthy manner.
Families have more options in caring for their elderly. Friends have fun ways to organise their houses together without crazy financial risks and single parents can help each other out by living in proximity. Anecdotes from overseas have retired couples building Tiny Houses on their property, moving into them and renting their main house out.
It's of course important with any planning decisions to take the long view on the viability of any change but it would be remit to not also mention that the IMF at the time of writing states that we have the least affordable houses in the world. This is a massively frustrating issue for our young families that don't have rich parents to help them into their first home. It's also widely recognised that we have a housing shortage and it's estimated by our academics that one in 100 people in New Zealand are homeless. Tiny houses aren't the only solution to this puzzle but they can certainly play a sustainable and large part with minimal relative effort by councils.
So the goal of The Tiny House Collaborative is to help local communities adapt their planning documents in a way that would make Tiny houses a permitted activity.
The methodology is to provide a collaborative environment whereby we can exactly determine the solutions to the council planning issues Tiny Houses currently face and then just as importantly, what the processes are to reach those solutions. Once these processes have been determined the Collaborative will work on a (web based) dataset that follows all the councils and their zones and what stage they are at in respects to this process.
The purpose of the dataset is to INFORM local communities where their councils sit in relation to progress on the issue and what is both; the results they need to aim for and the best processes to achieve those. If there are members of those local communities who want to see Tiny Houses as a permitted activity within their jurisdiction, this will be hugely valuable to them. It is envisaged that once one or two councils have done the hard work on this, most others will likely largely duplicate that work if they proceed down the same path. Identifying early adopter councils and planning departments wanting to take the lead on this is definitely a part of the process.
The dataset will be hosted at tinyhouse.nz (not yet live) but we have a slack team set up for those who have wanted to get involved. If you would like an invite - please contact me at hamish [at] verb.co.nz to let me know the email address you want an invite sent to.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — A 16-year-old Delaware girl has been offered $1.2 million in academic scholarships from more than a dozen universities and colleges.
Delaware State News reports Angelica Malone graduated with honors last month from Early College High School at Delaware State University.
Malone was homeschooled throughout middle school and started high school when she was 12 years old. She recalls trying to hide her age from her peers. She says she once lost a baby tooth in class and was able to conceal the offending clue without anyone noticing. She says, "you couldn't see it unless I smiled really big."
Malone is planning to attend Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania, to study psychobiology this fall. She has already earned 44 college credits and will be a college sophomore when she starts.

Voluma® XC in Macon, GA
One of the first signs of aging that patients experience is a loss of volume in the apple of their cheeks. Voluma® XC is an injectable filler that's designed to correct this issue and is available at the Georgia Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. This state-of-the-art facility is led by Dr. Joshua R. Groves, board-certified by the American Board of Surgery. Dr. Groves has helped men and women in Macon, Warner Robins, Houston County, Bibb County and the surrounding area look younger through Voluma® XC injections.
What is Voluma® XC?
Part of the Juvederm® family of fillers, Voluma®XC is FDA-approved to correct volume loss due to aging. The gel contains hyaluronic acid to gently plump and contour the cheeks and give them a more youthful, uplifted appearance. The results may last up to two years.
Benefits of Voluma® XC
Many dermal fillers require periodic touch-up treatments in order to maintain results. That's not the case with Voluma® XC, as it provides results for up to two years after treatment. In addition, it is also safe, can be administered in only one office visit, and requires no downtime after leaving our office.
Requirements for Voluma® XC
To undergo a Voluma® XC injection, you should not have allergies to lidocaine or any of the proteins in the product. You should also not have had any other dermal fillers within the last four months. Avoid this injectable if you are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
Is Voluma® XC Right for Me?
If you want results that are subtle yet dramatic at the same time, Voluma® XC could be right for you, especially if you wish to avoid surgery or repeated treatments.
How Involved is a Voluma® XC Procedure?
A Voluma® XC procedure is so simple that it can be completed in your lunch hour. Most patients are in our office 30 minutes or less, as this is all the time that's needed to prepare your paperwork, cleanse your skin, and administer the injection.
How Long is the Recovery After Voluma® XC?
Once Dr. Groves has finished injecting Voluma®XC, you are free to leave our office and continue with your normal activities. If you do notice swelling or bruising near the injection site, use an ice pack or take over-the-counter medication to eliminate your discomfort.
How Much Does Voluma® XC Cost?
Different amounts of Voluma®XC are required for each patient, and your cost is based on the dosage you need. During your consultation, we will discuss the cost, and go over our payment options to find one that best suits your needs.
Some procedures may be covered by medical insurance. Our staff is experienced in matters pertaining to insurance, and will work with your carrier to get you maximum coverage. In the event a procedure is not covered, we offer financing through CareCredit® and Alphaeon™Credit. We will be happy to assist in filling out the necessary application, or you may apply on the CareCredit® website prior to your appointment. We work with SunTrust Bank to offer low, fixed interest rate loans to patients with good to excellent credit for all cosmetic procedures, and also accept cash, personal checks, MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®, and Discover® Card.
If you live in Macon, Warner Robins, Houston County, Bibb County or surrounding communities, and would like to know more about the benefits of Voluma®XC, please visit the Georgia Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Contact Dr. Groves today for your Voluma® XC consultation.

The 'food' hashtag on Instagram has over 90 million entries: there's no doubt that documenting your meals is here to stay. However, is it a trend worth embracing, or should we shun those who dare whip out their phones at the dinner table? Emma Forbes and Britta Zeltmann investigate both sides of the issue.
FOR by Emma Forbes
Let's discuss the widespread phenomenon of instagramming food. We have all heard of it and many of us take part in it, posting pictures ourselves (I know I do). Unfortunately, the instagramming of meals has received a fairly unanimous negative response, with blogger Katherine Markovich vocalising the widespread belief that people, 'really, truly, absolutely, do not care about you or your food'. However, I would suggest that Markovich and others would do well to unfollow those that post images of food, if they are so fiercely opposed to it.
As someone who's interested in food, I enjoy scrolling through food posts and taking inspiration from other people's ideas to spice up my own meals. Sharing recipes creates a culture of giving to others without expecting anything in return. This goes against the normal attitudes of our society and builds a sense of community between users. Compared to many of the other trends of our generation, I think that the instagramming of food is admirable. I would rather see less selfies on my news feed and more people sharing their creativity in the kitchen, proving that they care about what they eat more than about reflecting their own narcissism.
There are many problems in our consumerist society, including rising obesity rates and people living increasingly unhealthy lifestyles. In my opinion, it's about time that healthy became the new 'trendy'. Many may turn and laugh, describing this food trend as 'hipster' or 'alternative'. Well, let them laugh. If being alternative means to eat healthily and care about the food that we put into our bodies, then great!
There's the argument that food tastes worse if you instagram it first. By building up expectations, when you actually take a forkful of your artsy dish, you are left dissatisfied. However, personally I have never experienced this sense of disappointment and feel that taking pictures of food actually enhances the eating experience. This is backed up by research which has been published in the Psychological Science journal. It claims that 'rituals enhance the enjoyment of consumption because of the greater involvement in the experience that they prompt'. A person's sensory perceptions are heightened by arranging food in artistic compositions and sharing the images with others. There's nothing wrong with embracing the instagramming food trend, as it is sociable, helpful and creative, while promoting a healthier lifestyle to boot.
AGAINST by Britta Zeltmann
Whatever happened to 'no phones at the dinner table'? Today, it seems as crucial to place your phone by your plate as it is your knife and fork – we no longer keep them near in fear of missing a beat, but because we simply MUST show the world what we eat. Instagram has created a world whereby making people jealous is the aim and tugging on the hunger strings of your open-mouthed followers proves to erupt that envy in every form possible. There's just a few simple rules to follow.
Rule no. 1: ANYONE can do it; Instagram quite literally has no boundaries. Unfortunately this gives many a licence to cross the line between creating tasteful food erotica with downright smutty porn – I'm referring to the 'fast food filterers' among us, who deem it not only appropriate, but necessary to show their artistic take on all the Big Macs they can find.
Rule no. 2: It doesn't need to taste or smell nice to stand out on our news feeds. A handful of lettuce leaves on a rustic chopping board, accompanied by the hashtag #motivated, is enough to make us yearn for their #willpower and #healthylifestyle (note the convenient absence of #hobnobs presumably consumed directly after the lettuce). If the photograph is of homemade produce, all the better! If we're going to boast about our food, why not boast about the lifestyle it follows – nothing quite beats something we 'rustled up' ourselves before 'grabbing a quick Starbucks' en route to pilates – surely?
Hashtag foodporn Rule no. 3: Finally, you must ruin the eating experience for yourself and your fellow diners by taking out your phone at any opportunity. You don't need to worry about enjoying the ambience of a restaurant, the company you're with, or even appreciating good food like the olden days. All you need to do is select a filter that best compliments your food, making it appear more expensive than it probably was.
Alexandre Gauthier, chef at the French La Grenouillere, listed as one of the 100 best restaurants in the world, sadly does not agree with the above. He is a strong believer that "there's a time and a place for everything," and has banned photography in his restaurant. So if we're going to photograph our food, maybe we should do so less publicly. We should portray a more realistic representation of what we eat; find a middle ground between Maccy Ds and Michelin Star, and most importantly, refrain from gratuity. Tweet what you really eat, not a pretentious representation: no-one's fooling anyone by pretending to dine at a gourmet restaurant every night.

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - OCBC and affiliates are again weighing the sale of their stake in United Engineers, a century-old Singapore property and construction company, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
OCBC, its insurance arm Great Eastern Holdings and the bank's founding Lee family are working with an adviser to start gauging interest, the people said, asking not to be identified as the deliberations are private. Exclusive talks between OCBC and Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, Thailand's richest person, lapsed last year after parties couldn't reach an agreement about the asset.
The Singapore firms and the Lee family own more than 30 per cent of United Engineers, the people said. Under Singapore rules, buying such a stake would trigger a mandatory takeover offer for United Engineers, which has a US$1.1 billion (S$1.49 billion) market value.
A sale of the stake would be welcome in the city state where dealmaking is in a slump this year, even as finance- related companies in Southeast Asia - including OCBC - continue to pursue deals. OCBC agreed in April to pay about US$320 million for Barclays' wealth and investment-management business in Asia, beating out Singapore rival DBS Group Holdings in the bidding.
Meanwhile, announced mergers and acquisitions involving Singapore companies total US$55 billion in the first nine months of the year, down 31 per cent from the US$80 billion during the same year-ago period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Shares of United Engineers, founded in 1912, advanced 20 per cent in Singapore trading this year, while the benchmark Straits Times Index is down 1.2 per cent over the same period. OCBC and Great Eastern declined to comment, while a representative for United Engineers didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
United Engineers has been selling non-core businesses and assets in recent years, including stakes in property management companies in China, an Indonesian steel fabrication firm and a Singapore wireless broadband provider last year. It said in February it was selling a US subsidiary Multi-Fineline Electronix.

My first intention of getting back into cycling was to help me lose weight. With eight months into the year gone I haven't seen the results I would like to have seen. Basically, I'm stagnant. I'm not gaining any weight but I'm not losing anything either. I need a better approach to using cycling as a means to shed the pounds. Just going out and riding haphazardly is not going to cut it anymore. I'm going to need a structured plan or at least move in that direction. Don't get me wrong, I have gotten better, ridden longer rides and feel better about it. Those are good things, but more is needed.
A trip to the book store yielded some possible books for me to look at. Even further searching on Amazon produced one that is on the Kindle format so I purchased, Ride Your Way Lean: The Ultimate Plan to Burn Fat and Getting Fit on a Bike by Selene Yeager. I'm in the process of reading it now. I'm hoping it can jump-start things for me and get me going in the right direction. Only time will tell. Let's hope time brings good news.
Happy Cycling!

Channel 53 Council Hearings
When you hear "entertainment," it's possible an hours-long discussion of local government isn't the first thing that pops into your mind. But if you've ever caught a Maui County Council meeting—either in person or on Akaku Channel 53—you know they're more entertaining than they have any right to be. It starts with our decidedly colorful council, populated with opinionated, outsized and contrasting personalities. You can question their loyalties—and, in some cases, competence—but there isn't one member you can classify as boring. And we haven't even mentioned the diverse and sundry testifiers—earnest, intelligent, indignant, belligerent—who take the lectern for a few minutes of on-the-record glory (best is when a particularly animated individual is asked to stay for follow-up questioning). Whether you're a hard-core public-affairs junkie or just looking for an amusing way to kill a little time, this is, if not riveting, at least better than a lot of the other crap that's on.

In 2011, Steven Pinker borrowed the closing line "better angels of our natures" from Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address to set the stage for a book arguing that humanity has become more peaceful, law abiding and less murderous through time. Pinker's compelling argument goes that some combination of governance, law, education, globalization and trade have allowed four better angels (empathy, self-control, a moral sense, and reason) of our natures to increasingly dominate five inner demons (practical violence, dominance, revenge, sadism, and ideology) resulting in decreasing human violence across millennial time scales.
Let me try an analogy in those angels for how, when, where and why societies work well, and when they break down into argumentative stalemates. Today's counterproductive angel of human nature is our need for team identification. Apparently, our angels love team colors, jerseys and the spectacle of sport as much as the rest of us.
Sure; humans evolved in small groups and well-being within our tribes relied heavily on sticking together as a team. This may help explain the seemingly inexplicable propensity for young men, in particular, to voluntarily put their very lives on the line for the well-being of the larger tribe (the nation) without a fair assessment of the very high personal risks involved (i.e., patritoism).
Tribal loyalty is great. However, don't we consistently take this too far? Our brains seem to desperately want to understand a social problem by classifying people into teams, boiling multi-faceted, complex problems down into black and white. I recently took Utah State Rep. Mike Noel to task for his impassioned characterization of forest management and why public agencies are to blame for a wildfire that nearly burned down the tax base of his county. In this video he casts people into two teams: those that want to manage fuels through timber production (i.e., good) and bunny lovers who want to risk catastrophic wildfire by letting everything go (i.e., bad). This is the obviously and worn out caricature pitting two sides of a much more complex debate about forest management. Working in this field I find it difficult to name anyone who fits the mold of either characterization at the ends of these spectra. Most people who are familiar with forest management see fire in western forests as a very challenging and difficult resource management problem vexing resource managers. We know there is a fuels problem that has replaced the problems that logging caused in earlier decades. There appears little economic potential to solve the problem by increased logging activity because for logging to be minimally profitable, you have to include highly valuable timber in highly productive and readily accessible locations, and there are both ecological (e.g., riparian zone protection), and sociological (protecting viewscapes of valuable property), and environmental (conserving habitat) reasons why that is not a popular option.
Mike Noel, in his simplified dichotomization of the problem, seemed to forget that the high end properties of his cherished tax base that almost burned exactly fit the profile of people who belong to environmental groups that have opposed what was wanton and sometimes irresponsible logging practices in the west. He forgot that the public agencies managed forests not by their choice, but responded to broad scale calls to bring forest management into line with stakeholder values and that these values included protecting viewsheds from logging. He forgot that the collapse of the logging industry on public lands has been, in no small part, the consequence of resource economics where timber prices do not support the cost of timber harvest in low value salvage cuts. He prefers to clearly define the issue based on two teams: us and them.
So, not to point fingers, let me just say that environmentalists and scientists are equally to blame on this. Both groups gather into teams and point fingers at who they view to be on the 'other' team: corporate interests, greedy and selfish landowners, the scientifically uninformed public.
Do humans irrationally need to boil things down like this? Are we incapable of viewing problems as complex issues based on a continuous distribution of differential weight on a suite of common shared values? Were we to consider this particular problem, forest management to maximize benefit and minimize risk, we would have to acknowledge both the costs and benefits of logging to Rep. Noel's constituents. Logging provides jobs and economic benefit, but so does recreation. Recreation dominates many local economies and studies have shown recreation to contribute more to local economies than industrial logging. Logging reduces environmental risk by reducing fuels on the landscape, but logging also increases other sorts of environmental risks through erosion, habitat degradation,
The idea of the environment as a comple problem of shared values brings to mind the rise in cooperative board games that came into popularity a decade or so ago. All the players were to band together in a cooperative game to solve a complex problem. When I heard of this approach to games, I groaned. Still, I have only ever played one of these games that I actually enjoyed (but I don't play board games much). People seem to prefer to gather up as teams, or work as individuals, to compete against one another for victory. The problem is that doing so with real life challenges significantly slows progress.
Nothing can stall forward movement in policy than opposing teams. Just look at Congress? When did we put team colors and uniforms on politics? When did we start calling them "red" and "blue" states? This seems like a really unhelpful idea.
The annoying angels of tribal clans must be really big sports fans. Of course this may be deduced since watching sports one observes that athletes appear to be under the strong impression that there are angels cheering for their team.
Let's get back to the point, and it is simple. For those of us working for a goal of environmental protection and conservation of resources: Take off your green jersey and leave it in the checkroom outside when engaging in finding solutions to complex environmental problems. We know that human productivity competes with a healthy environment. This is a trade-off. This does not, however, have to mean that people need to divide up into economic growth vs environmental protection teams and fight for victory. That is a losing strategy for both sides. We know that there are often strategic choices for efficiency that can foster achieving most of the economic gains we seek while protection most of our environmental values. Yes, it is one of those unpalatable cooperative games. The challenge can be simply stated: how do we balance our shared goals of productive lives within a healthy environment when different people place different levels of value protecting nature, and see different attributes of nature as important to protect? While people may fail to win this cooperative game, we can at least try to succeed in playing it as a cooperative game and not an adversarial one. Nothing helps quell one's partisan feelings for 'my team' than going and sitting amongst fans for the other team and enjoying the game. We begin by recognizing the utility of understanding our apparent need for teams as annoying angels of human nature and trying to minimize the impact they play on our negotiations. We know we will never get entirely rid of them. Go Red Sox!
Next time. Counterproductive angels of our natures. Part 2. The down side of our rugged independence

This is an interesting article in which you want to discuss the different nature of the human. I agree with this point is that humanity is divided into different small groups which are the good thing. Overall, some points are also interesting which increase the excitement.
9/30/2017 05:07:13 pm
I get what you are trying to say. The only way people could ever make a change is by being united. Many people tend to preach about wanting to have a better world, but when you ask them to work and cooperate with other people they are not familiar with, they do not want to comply. If people really want to make the world a better place, they should sacrifice and they should be able to accept all people from different nationalities and race. That is the only way that they can become successful in their advocacy.

I totally agree on the overall point of this post. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Mark. We, humans, are always delighted and excited to see changes, innovations, and developments. But, unconsciously, as we embrace a lot of innovations over the past few years, we also tend to forget the importance of environmental protection. Hence, it is only befitting that we must encourage everyone to take on the green jersey. Let us all play the game the right way, with the right tools, and the right measures for a right and just outcome.

The evolution of mankind towards a futuristic world leads to education and enlightenment. Enlightened individuals and educated people would often battle conflicts through reasoning and proper discourse. Violence, needless to say, is never an option nowadays when one is resolving a conflict. It is indeed the fruit of education and modernization that lead to less violence within humans. I do hope that more good things will come out of global modernization. We see more of negative things regarding modernization than positive ones.

Small businesses need your support today on Small Business Saturday! While Black Friday is a day for big box retailers use door busters to pit weary shoppers against each other like gladiators in the wee hours of Thanksgiving and the following morning. Cyber Monday is the day that online retailers do the same thing, but, you know, online. But what about the little guy? What about the 27 million mom and pop shops and small businesses that make up the rest of the economy? Today is for them.
Small Business Saturday is a day for us all to remember to shop small and shop local. We must support the small businesses in our community during the holiday season and the rest of the year as well.
Standing out in a world dominated by giants like Walmart and Amazon can be really hard for small businesses, but it's not impossible. In fact, a world full of franchise fatigue, there is a large number of people looking for something genuine and different. With a little work and creativity, it is possible for a small retailer to stand out.
One way to do so is to leverage social media. Though the days of getting organic traffic by the boatloads are seemingly gone, social media can still be a very effective advertising platform and a way to generate search traffic and cultivate strong relationships with potential customers.
Building a strong brand in your community is key. This can be accomplished both online and off with custom t-shirts. T-shirts are a great affordable donation to community fundraisers for silent auctions or attendance prizes and double as an advertisement. T-Shirts also go a long way towards building a community around your shop.
The more you buy, the more affordable your custom t-shirts become as you take advantage of build discounts. You can also upload your own image to create the perfect promotional tee with your logo.
Please remember to support small businesses on Small Business Saturday and the rest of the shopping season.

Two high profile property firms have strengthened their land and new homes teams in order to cope with growing demand in the sector.
Connells Group has announced the appointments of 15 professionals to its land and new homes division, while Beresfords has made several promotions and recruited two new members of staff.
Both firms say they've expanded the teams to enhance their current offerings and develop their land and new homes services in the future.
As the property market adjusts to a post-Brexit landscape, confidence is returning among land owners and developers, according to Roger Barrett, Connells Group's Land Director.
"Demand for new homes inevitably remains high due to the nationwide shortage of homes, following a brief period of cautiousness," he says.
Connells Group's appointments come across several of its best-known brands, including Sequence, Barnard Marcus and Fox & Sons.
Beresfords, meanwhile, which operates across Essex and Greater London, reports that it has sold almost £100 million worth of new homes in the past 12 months.
The firm's director, Terry Holmes, says that Beresfords has an average of 14 buyers chasing each property, rising to 23 in some areas of Essex.

Client: Derwent London
Tibbalds prepared and submitted a detailed planning application for a mixed-use development of a 39-storey residential tower and 10-storey office building at the prominent island site of 100 City Road on Old Street roundabout. The officer's recommendation for approval was overturned by members at committee. Tibbalds coordinated a planning appeal and provided planning evidence at the public inquiry. The appeal was successful.
The site was subsequently acquired by Derwent London, who decided to pursue a commercial-led scheme. Tibbalds were appointed to advise on the planning strategy alongside architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM). Working through an intensive PPA process with Islington planners, Tibbalds coordinated, prepared and submitted a new planning application comprising a 17 storey office building fronting Old Street roundabout; refurbished and small scale infill office buildings with active retail frontages along City Road and Featherstone Street; new residential dwellings along Mallow Street and a new public space at the heart of the development. Planning permission was granted in October 2011.

The release of a new Periphery album is always like Christmas for fans of heavy guitar. There's always so much to digest: unpredictable riffs, challenging solos, soaring melodies, complex chords. Every record is like a challenge to all of us to lift our game. And Periphery III: Select Difficulty really throws down the challenge. Although some parts of the record are more melodic and direct than anything the band has done before, there's also some brutally heavy, insanely complex material for us all to bust our fingers learning, and then stretch our necks headbanging to. I caught up with guitarist Mark Holcomb to chat about the record and his new guitar.
I love the sound of this record. It's so crisp and you can hear every detail even when there's a lot going on. Did you do anything different in the way you recorded or is it just the evolution of Nolly's engineering skills?
It's very much the evolution. The mix is a Nolly Getgood special right there. I mean really, we were very happy with the direction things took on Juggernaut and this is an extension of that, but in my opinion a little bit clearer, a little bit more powerful. It just really brings the songs to life. And there's a lot more vibrance in the material compared to Juggernaut, and the mix complements that. But that's Nolly's handiwork right there. He really brought his A game for this record in terms of the engineering and mixing duties.
It's interesting because usually when I get a new Periphery album it takes a while for it to sink in because there are so many levels of detail, changes in time signature, stuff like that. This seems to hit more directly.
Cool! I'm glad. That's really good to hear. For us it was very, very deliberate on our part to make it a direct album. As you said, it hits you pretty directly. That was one word we threw around a lot before we even went in to write the album. We wanted this record to be a kick in the balls, to just be 10 or 11 Periphery songs that are to the point, aggressive, up-front and melodic. I keep saying 'kick in the balls' because that's the most apt analogy to me. I think of Periphery III as a reaction to Juggernaut. Juggernaut was big and brooding and this over-arching epic concept album with a story, and it was fun. It was a lot of work to write and record and it's something that we're very proud of, but there were a lot of styles explored that we had never tackled before and we were experimenting a lot in every way with the writing and recording of the album. Periphery III was just us throwing all that criteria out the window, all the concept album criteria, and just going back to square one and saying to ourselves' let's have fun. Let's throw all the constraints out the window, all the restrictions out the window to write these songs. And what we got was a really fun album. I actually have a lot of fun listening to the record! Normally I hate the album at this stage! After mastering and before release I'm usually like 'Let's record the next one.'
Tell me about 'The Way The News Goes.' I remember when I first heard it a few weeks ago I told you that was my favourite and you said 'That's one of mine, you picked it again.'
Yeah! You always tend to like the ones that I spearhead. That's always funny, the relationship that you and I have, you always tell me the ones you like and it's always the ones I spearhead.
Ah, but am I telling the other guys the same thing?
Oh, there you are! I don't know, is that in your nature, Peter? Are you a three-timer? A four-timer? How many people are in our band… a six-timer?
Nah, I'm not that Machiavellian.
Haha. That was one that I spearheaded last year. I started writing the basis for that song when I was on vacation in Spain. I was jetlagged out of my brain and I wrote that main riff and the pre-chorus. Then I brought it back to our home studio and me and Misha wrote the chorus and then brought it to the rest of the guys. I'm very proud of that song. It's a really fun, all-over-the-place song. I like that we went with blast beats in the chorus.
'Catch Fire' is another example of the melodic side of Periphery really evolving.
Yeah! That was actually the first piece of music that we wrote together for the record. And that was kinda written by accident. I was over at Misha's studio and so were Jake and Spencer and I started tracking this clean guitar part and Misha programmed a beat under it. Spencer had a chorus idea in mind and Misha started writing a bass groove for the verse. We had the basis for the song established but it turned out to be 100 percent different to how we started. It's very melodic and the most commercially accessible thing on the album. But it was the first idea we had for the album. And believe it or not, the first couple of ideas for the album were 'Catch Fire' and 'The Way The News Goes.' Those two were very melodic and that was kinda the direct we saw the album going, so we said 'Maybe we should start to focus on heavy material.' And Periphery III ended up being, in my opinion, our heaviest album, but it started in more of a melodic, commercial sense. The heaviness was a reaction to the first couple of songs being more melodic.
Let's talk guitar! You've just launched your new PRS SE model. You've been hinting at this guitar with pics on your Instagram over the last few weeks but you always cleverly kept the headstock out of view…
Yeah, I have no subtlety whatsoever, just crop out the headstock and voilà! We just launched the guitar and the response has been really nice so far. It's a PRS SE model, meaning it's made in Korea but it's a take on the US model we made last year. It's pretty much the same specs: fretboard radius is 20 inches, scale length is 25 1/2 inches, it's got the same exact pickups in there which is a huge win. I pushed for that ever since it was conceptualized. We absolutely had to have the same pickups in there, not a cheaper version or something like that. So we got those in there. And aesthetically there are some pretty big differences between this and the US-made models. But in terms of its main features, the features that set it apart from the PRS catalog, those are 100 percent intact. And that's why this model made sense from the very beginning for us to pursue. It just seemed very obvious that we should go down this route.
It is very unique because you haven't just gone with an existing model and changed the paint job.
Yeah, and that whole approach of offering something different which the product line-up didn't already offer, that was always the main point behind all of this. If I was going to just change the finish I would go and play a Custom 24 because those are amazing, amazing guitars. But I wanted to satisfy two criteria: I wanted it to be exactly the guitar that I wanted to play in every single spec, and I was lucky enough to make that happen. And it had to be different enough to be justifiable as a signature product, which is actually more to satisfy PRS's desires. They need to make money, they need to make a smart business decision and they need to fill a gap in their product line-up. And fortunately it worked out for both of us and it seems to be working very harmoniously.
And you have an 8-string custom on the way!
Yes, I have an 8-string on the way! That's something we've been talking about for a while and Paul decided to build an 8-string for these upcoming shows we have. And he knows that a third to a half of our headlining songs have an 8-string and he doesn't like seeing other brands up there on stage (laughs). So he wanted to build me one. It's going to be pretty much an 8-string version of the 6-string model we put out last year, and the 7-string version I have. So it's going to look very similar to the guitars I already have, which is very deliberate on my part.
Next you're going to have to start writing 9-string songs just to see what they can build for you.
Right! Or 'Hey Paul, a lot of our songs feature trumpets now.' 'Hey Paul, we're playing briefcases filled with a million dollars onstage now.'
I'm looking forward to seeing the flame-maple trumpets in dentist offices. So what are you working on playing-wise at the moment? Are there any concepts or techniques you're drilling into your head or is it all tour prep right now?
Mainly tour prep. But I'm always working on little aspects of my playing. The main technique that I'm working on is something that has plagued me yet benefited me throughout the years, and that's my left-hand posture. As you may know I use my thumb a tonne when I write and play, and that's sort of become synonymous with my style. I don't ever want to get rid of that but I want to be able to convert back from a normal left-hand posture from that sort of left-hand-thumb-hanging-over-the-fretboard type of posture. And frankly a lot of material on our albums is pretty tough to play with my freak posture. So I'm trying to straighten it out and do exercises that force me to correct that. It's something that's ongoing but I'll get there. I'm always trying to work on that, but I'm doing it because of, like you said, tour prep. I'm trying to get this song called 'Marigold' worked out. It's track three on the new album. Misha wrote a couple of riffs on there that are just mind-benders. He wrote the first verse riff that's crazy and he wrote the second verse riff that's even crazier and it requires that perfect left-hand posture. To his credit he's also worked on this as well and I think that riff was a product of him learning how to put his hands on the guitar neck like a normal human being.
Does it happen often, that someone brings a riff in and everyone's like 'You bastard'?
Oh yeah. Because we all have such different styles of playing. In terms of tastes, me, Jake and Misha are very similar in terms of what we like, but in terms of the little nuances, the things that differentiate us as players are pretty enormous. It's hard to sum up concisely but Misha has very alien technique which plays a big part in the types passages he writes. My technique is super untraditional as well which has a big impact on parts I contribute, and Jake has a completely different style and melodic sense of his own. The result is us trying to adapt certain aspects of each other's playing and has evolved into each of us writing parts that could pass as the work of one of our other guitarists. It's a fun environment to be in when you can learn such radically different approaches from some of your bandmates.
Periphery III: Select Difficulty is released on July 22.

Guest post by Josh Behun, bassist and vocals for 9 Mile Roots
"Premonition" was filmed with the idea of portraying our high-energy stage show on a small screen. Our goal was to capture all of the antics and emotions that are typically spread out on display across a large stage and compress it all into a small viewing window.
We always strive to be visually as well as audibly entertaining, matching our stage energy to our sound, and maintaining excitement. Feeding off of the crowd, feeling the vibes from the dance floor on stage is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being a musician. We are all in this together - the more fun you have, the more fun we have, and vice versa!
"Premonition" is a perfect example of that... There's a whole lot going on all at once - everyone's moving, everyone's grooving, you can't catch every little nuance all at once, but you might see something you hadn't seen previously...
We're really excited for the release of our new album, ReEvolve, this Friday. We've been working on it for well over two years now. Yes, there are new sounds, but that's what progression is all about, right? Hence the album name. We're really blown away by the early feedback, so we hope that fans of good music in general will give it a listen.
The album is available on iTunes and Amazon.

Botanical name: Eryngium foetidum
Coriander Summer originates from Central America – the Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico and Mexico and is cultivated throughout Southeast Asia and Latin America.
The leaves of Coriander Summer are long with a serrated edge.
It flowers profusely especially during summer, the prickly flower heads should be regularly pruned from the plant as this encourages the leaves to grow.
The pungent odour is very similar to common Coriander.
The leaves need to be chopped as they are tougher than the regular Coriander. The leaves of Coriander Summer will put up with some cooking unlike regular Coriander.
Uses of Coriander Summer
Use leaves in stir-fries, soups, salads, curries and salsa.
Use the root to flavour vegetables.
The prickly seed head can be made into a spicy paste. Put seed heads into a blender or processor with chilli, ginger, garlic and sesame oil or vegetable oil and whiz until smooth. Store in fridge.
Use to flavour curries and stir fries or spread on sandwiches or biscuits with cheese.
The paste can also be stirred through chopped chicken for a delicious sandwich fill.
This variety of Coriander dries well, retaining good colour and flavour.
In India the root is used to soothe stomach pains.
