Do all guys like to eat girls out?
I'm asking this because I have a guy who has told me he's never ate a girl out before. I have given him blow jobs many times and he loves it. I THINK he's never done it because he think its gross but that's just my guess. I know your probably like why don't you just ask him. But I'm too scared to ask him. I really do want him to go down on me so bad when were together, but I could either see him reluctantly say yea (which that's no fun-I wouldn't want the guy to do it if he didn't want to) or I could see him say no its not my thing. Its just that I even deepthroat for the guy and it would just be nice to get something back.So what should I do? Should I, I don't know, dress super sexy and take the risk by asking him when were together or something? Or do you guys think its just a lost cause and he probable won't?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Maybe he doesn't think it's gross. You said he's never done it before, he is probably nervous. It probably scares him to get down there and totally suck at it. Doing it probably scares him more than asking him about it scares you. I think you should ask. If he is nervous about messing up tell him you will let him know what you like. If he does think it's gross use a dental dam. Just get some saran wrap and have him place it over your vagina while he eats you, it's like a condom for eating a girl out. It's cleaner and less messy. It may not feel quite as good but at least he is meeting in the middle.
What Guys Said 4
There's not really a way around it, but you might try discussing the idea with him first, just to get an idea of how he feels about it. In the interest of fairness, he really should be open to the idea, especially seeing how far you've gone out of your way to ensure he's pleased. As far as the act itself, it seems to be one of those things that varies on the individual guy: some like it and some don't - I'm in the first of those categories.
Aint nothin wrong with eatN the pussy, I love 2 eat the pussy, I think any guy that havnt done it yet because they think its nasty they a f***N bitch ass nigga hahaha its 2010 bitch! everybody eat the pussy, and f*** what that other guy talkN about it taste different to different people, because like I said its 2010 you should know to have the candy so it taste good, this sh*t funny as f*** to me, because you suck that guy d*** all the time and he can't eat yo p**** What The Fuck! I just have 2 say you ain't ever going to do the 69 because yo man a bitch lol !REAL MEN EAT THE PUSSY!ayy hit me up in my email email@example.com a Black guy and I got a 10 1/2 inch d*** and I will f*** you so good you going to think you in a porno !
WOW lol if only more guys were like you
well not all guys like eating girls out. personally, I love it. just bring it up to him. let him know you enjoy giving him head, but you would enjoy him going down on you, too. let him know that you won't make it awkward for him or be judgmental about his performance, just be honest with him. tell him you really want him to eat you out so you can see why he likes getting head so much. communication is the key : )
What Girls Said 3
He will be nervous to go down on you because he's never done it before... just like you may have been nervous the first time you went down on a guy. He might want to please you loads and doesn't wanna be embarrassed and not know what to do so maybe talk to him about it and tell him what to do and then he might like it.There's a first time for everything lol he might have heard stories from his mates though and doesn't wanna try it. Good luck :) x

That does sound good. So you don't have to read the others in order to enjoy this one? I'm the opposite of you. LOL. I'm always looking for more good series, because they guarantee me more books to read. LOL. I'm kind of narrow in what I like, and sometimes get close to running out of books that my library actually has, that sound good to me. I'll check this one out.

GUEST BLOG - Someone's Going To Pay!
She left him, so he left himself. It's as if he became someone else. The shock of her betrayal ran through him like a poison, infecting his body and mind. He was sure that because she was the guilty party, she would be punished, that the world would understand and join him in his crusade for righteousness. But his demands became more than just unreasonable, they were beyond the pale. He wanted everything – the house, the kids, the assets…
GUEST BLOG - Why Couples Divorce?
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact causes of divorce or separation. Every couple has their own dynamics. The decision to terminate one of the most important voluntary relationships of life is not easy. Things must have worsened to the stage where living with the spouse becomes too emotionally demanding.
The feelings of unhappiness, helplessness and guilt are often two very devastating emotional crisis of the stage. People try to minimize helplessness and unhappiness by taking the extreme step of legal dissolution of marriage. This step rectifies the feelings to varying level. However, feeling of guilt is one feeling that continues for several years after the final decree of divorce. The guilt over a relationship that could not be and over lost time is something that people take years to come over.
Abundance or Lack of Abundance Is a State of Mind
Mediation VS Litigation
Consider this: A couple battles it out in court for over 8 years. They spend over $100,000 each and do not reach a resolution. They appear in court on many occasions but nothing is truly settled. The court suggests that they leave parenting up to the "experts" along with child support. The case remains unsettled after 8 long stressful years. Their relationships suffer, their bank accounts suffer and their children suffer.

Conscious Uncoupling
I am not sure exactly what this means however, Gwenth Paltrow has used this term to capture the ending of her marriage. Recent posts on Huffington suggest that this term has been used through out history in different contexts to suggest a mutual parting of the ways. While I do not mind the look and feel of these words, I wonder if this is not another way to camouflage the heartache of a sad, difficult ending. There is a fine line between putting forward a brave face and denial. If conscious uncoupling is the result of a number of years of mutual support concluding that parting ways is in their soul evolution's best interest – then great. If, on the other hand, it is just a way of putting off deep introspection and avoiding the hard work of making a marriage great regardless of the obstacles of life – then I say that conscious uncoupling is another term for giving up.
Do Not Underestimate the Power of Your Thoughts
Research has now concluded that what we think – is what we create. The "Spindrift Experiments" measured the power of positive prayer. In one of the experiments, they planted two groups of seeds, ensuring that all variables were the same and controlled. What they intended to try and measure was the impact of positive prayer directed towards one grouping, while the other was ignored. After a bit of time, the results were conclusive. The group of seeds that were intentionally prayed for, were sprouting substantially more then those that were ignored. Other experiments in different parts of the world have concluded the same thing –our thoughts create outcomes and the power of positive thought is measureable. Consider the implication of this. Consider the impact your thoughts have on those close to you. Consider that your thoughts directly affect the wellbeing of those you direct your thoughts toward. You actually can harm another human being simply by thinking "bad" thoughts, and conversely, you can nurture and create wellbeing with positive thoughts and intentions. Also, take it one step further, and know that if you think negative thoughts, the intention behind those thoughts, come right back at you. So today, be more conscious and aware of your thoughts, do everything in your power to keep them positive and your life will soon be a reflection of these positive thoughts.
Divorce and Its Economic Impact on Corporations
Stats we should not ignore:
- One in three marriages end in Divorce
- Almost 40% of North American children will grow up in a single family home
- The amount of unpaid Child Support in Canada totals more than 2.5 billion
- 1.2 million annual US divorces cost taxpayers an estimated 30 billion in federal and state expenditures (Schramm, 2006)
- Estimate of 6 billion is lost by North American businesses due to decreased productivity stemming from marriage and relationship difficulties (Forthofer, Markham, Cox, Stanley and Kessler, 1996)
- Divorce can disrupt productivity of the worker for more than 3 years (Lavy, 2002)
- In a year of divorce, employees lose an average of 168 hours of work time
- A litigated divorce will likely last more than 3 years and will include time off to see lawyers, attend case conferences, court appearances etc.
GUEST BLOG - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Regardless of circumstances, divorce will normally require us to evaluate who we are and what we want out of life. It can be a little bit like looking in the mirror. Unfortunately, sometimes when we wake up and look in the mirror we discover our hair is messy and we don't like what we see. When we look in the mirror and don't like what we see, we have three options:
Option #1
I don't like what I see and I can't handle it right now and so I take the mirror off the wall and put it in the closet. My issue seems overwhelming and for whatever reason I can't deal with it right now. Perhaps it's too painful and I can't face it and it is easier to avoid my problem. Whatever the reason, I put the mirror in the closet and go through the day hoping that my hair will simply fix itself.
GUEST BLOG - She's Gone Move On - Dealing With Your Emotions
Does struggling with emotions make you less of a man?
I would argue that it makes you human. No matter how you look at it, divorce is an emotional journey and while it's nothing for us to be ashamed of or embarrassed about, men have a hard time navigating through it. Guys spend much of their time and energy thinking about what went wrong, how life sucks and what to tell their friends and family. They often blame their ex for the breakdown of the marriage, or at times blame themselves for what happened. Many emotional scars are inflicted along the journey and it can be mentally draining and exhausting for everyone.
For some time, I struggled in dealing with my emotions. One day I felt great, the next I would lie in bed all day with no energy to do anything. At times I was happy, then the next hour I was on the brink of tears.
Love Is Made Not Found
A recent article quoting basic statistics suggested that the filing of divorce papers increases around Valentine's Day. This is due to people starting to question their relationships and the true meaning of love. I suppose that the thought of a romantic dinner with someone who you no longer want to share time with might be the trigger to take that dreaded next step. The article also refers to the increase in security company business, as suspicious partners endeavor to find out if there is another love interest involved. How sad is this?
Yes, life after divorce can be good, and for many, there just didn't seem that there was any other option.

Federal Direction Needed for Educating Handicapped Children in State Schools
HRD-78-6: Published: Mar 16, 1978. Publicly Released: Mar 16, 1978.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
The Public Law 89-313 program was enacted in 1965 to make available federal funds to supplement limited state efforts in providing special educational services for institutionalized handicapped children. Because of changes in federal and state laws and advances in educational techniques and concepts, considerable confusion and conflict has arisen among program participants on what the federal program is intended to accomplish and the respective roles of federal and state governments in supporting education for the handicapped in state-operated and state-supported schools.
A basic structural question exists: whether the 89-313 program should continue as basic, relatively unrestricted support or be directed to provide a stimulus to states to increase their resources for educating institutionalized handicapped children. Targeting funds to a limited number of eligible children was originally permissable, but the enactment of Public Law 93-380 changed the concept by requiring that all children counted for 89-313 funding receive some benefit from that funding. Targeting is still taking place to a significant degree. Management of the 89-313 program at the federal level has been fragmented, limited, and complicated, and its visibility for congressional review and analysis has been severely restricted. Congress needs to clarify the direction of the program and the degree to which funds may be allocated within a state.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Matter: Congress should: clarify the direction of the 89-313 program by specifying whether funding is supplementary to a basic, State-financed educational activity or whether it should help finance the basic educational program itself; and clarify whether targeting is acceptable, and if so, to what extent it is acceptable. The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare should direct the Commissioner of Education to make appropriate changes in 89-313 program guidelines and regulations based on advice received from Congress regarding the future purpose of the program. The Congress should transfer the 89-313 program from title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to the Education of the Handicapped Act.

November 26, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Environmentalists and Indians are asking a federal court to order utility company NV Energy to clean up land and water they say has been contaminated by an aging coal-fired power plant slated for closure beginning next year outside Las Vegas.
The Sierra Club and Moapa Band of Paiutes who live near the Reid-Gardner plant want a judge to declare that the publicly traded company conducted operations for years that endangered the public health.
They're seeking a court order to clean up contaminants they believe have been illegally dumped into the Muddy River.
NV Energy declined to comment on the lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
But company spokeswoman Kelly Mulroy says the plant 40 miles northeast of Las Vegas fully complies with state and federal laws.

I have "Preview 1" installed and i've successfully tested it with Active Directory as a mobile account on a laptop as well as Open Directory with group Manager.
Active Directory - worked great. Bound the computer and logged in with an AD account and mounted my network share. Everything seems to be running smooth.
Open Directory - Bound it to OS X 10.7.3 Open Directory Server and worked great. Anything I adjust so far takes effect on the new 10.8 client.
iMessges - works great as well. As the OS is linked to my iCloud account I was able to iMessage anyone on my phone from iMessages on the laptop by using a persons mobile phone number of email address.
So far I'm impressed!.

will have to see if i can get an apple dev subscription from ICT budget next year and get hold of a copy of it!
I've been testing a few apps on it and have been able to crash a number running Adobe Air, MS Excel and Word (no issue with powerpoint, even opening a 1.2GB file .... don't ask!) and I am now starting on other tools. Not put iWorks on yet ... still just making a list of my regular apps to tick them off as I check them.
I am running it on a VM under Parallels Desktop 7 Build 7.0.15054 with 1 core, 2 gig of RAM and 64 meg assigned graphics. I'll adjust as needed further on.
With it being a dev preview it is always a bit difficult to compare speeds to a released OS. On my VM I don't find in any slower than Lion ... which seems to hint at good things ... but between now and release all sorts of things can change to affect it.

By CANDICE CHOI
AP Personal Finance Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Free checking accounts may be one step closer to extinction.
Regulatory changes to be issued July 21 are expected to sharply limit the fees that banks can collect from merchants whenever customers pay with debit cards.
An attempt to delay implementing the rule by a year was narrowly defeated this week, meaning banks will be looking in earnest for ways to make up an estimated $14 billion in lost revenue.
Customers have already seen the fallout start to take hold.
Bank of America is testing a new lineup of accounts that come with fees ranging from $6 to $25, depending on the level of service selected. Citi already revamped the terms on its checking accounts last year to include higher fees in many cases. Chase, PNC Bank and Wells Fargo ended or scaled back their debit rewards programs.
And more unwelcome changes are likely in store. Among the possibilities: Fees for debit cards and even a $50 or $100 cap on transactions.
"Banks have two ways they can cope; they can cut costs or they can raise revenue," says Bart Narter, a banking analyst with the consulting firm Celent. "They're going to have to charge you for things that they used to give away, like online bill pay."
Here's what consumers should watch:
Free Checking
It's still relatively easy to find a free checking account. But it's becoming more likely that there will be conditions you have to meet to avoid monthly fees.
You may have to do all your banking online, for example, rather than going into a branch. Or you may have to maintain a minimum balance or make a certain number of transactions every month.
Meanwhile, the availability of free checking accounts with no conditions shrank last year, for the first time since 2003, according to Bankrate.com. Only 65 percent of checking accounts were free in 2010, down from 76 percent the previous year.
Much of that pullback was a response to another regulation last summer that prohibits banks from enrolling customers in overdraft programs without their consent. Overdraft fees, which are often $35 or more per violation, were an important revenue stream for banks.
The new regulation on merchant fees is set to only further hasten the disappearance of free checking.
"It's going to be free checking with a lot more strings attached," Narter says. "Or free checking without the bells and whistles."
Debit Rewards
Rewards programs for debit card purchases are a valued perk for many checking account customers. But they may soon only be available to the top customers, if at all.
In April, Wells Fargo stopped enrolling new customers in its debit rewards program, citing the regulatory changes and costs facing the industry. The bank says it hasn't made any final decisions on whether the program will continue for customers who were already enrolled.
Chase has already made the decision to end debit rewards for both new and existing customers.
At PNC Bank, only premium customers will continue to earn debit card rewards. The bank is cutting off the perk for those with free checking accounts, roughly 70 percent of its customers.
ATM Fees
When customers use another bank's ATM, they can be slapped with two fees _ one from their bank and one from the bank that owns the ATM. This is an easy opportunity for banks looking to raise revenue.
In some cases, banks may start imposing out-of-network fees on customers.
TD Bank, for example, says it will now impose a $2 fee when customers use another bank's ATM. Other banks, such as Citi, have hiked their existing fees for using an out-of-network ATM.
Chase earlier this year even tested ATM fees of $4 and $5 for non-customers who used its ATMs in Texas and Illinois. But the bank dropped the tests a few months later without providing a reason. The fees in those states were lowered back to $3.
New Fees & Products
Customers may also start seeing never-before-seen fees pop up. Chase, for example, is testing a $3 monthly fee in northern Wisconsin for checking account customers who want a debit card.
Depending on how customers react, the bank may incorporate some of its test fees into its new lineup of accounts, slated to be rolled out by early next year.
Although a much more remote possibility, Chase has also said there have been discussions about capping debit purchases at $50 or $100 per transaction. But the bank likely would never risk following through on such a dramatic measure, notes Narter of Celent.

A small business is organized for profit; has a place of business in the United States; pays taxes or uses American products, materials, or labor; and does not exceed the numerical size standard for the industry. It may be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or any other legal form.
There is a small business size standard, usually stated as the maximum qualifying number of employees or average annual receipts, for every private sector industry defined in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). There are general size standards for industry groups: for example, 500 employees for a manufacturing business; 100 employees for a wholesale trade business; $28.5 million average annual receipts for a general or heavy construction business (except dredging); and $3 million average annual receipts (including commissions and other income) for a travel agency. Some industries have higher size standards than the general one for the industry group. See www.sba.gov/tableofsizestandards for details [December 2004].
A socially disadvantaged small business is one that is at least 51 percent unconditionally and directly owned by one or more individuals who are U.S. citizens and determined to have suffered from bias or discrimination. The law allows groups to petition to be designated as socially disadvantaged; and a 1978 amendment to the Small Business Act designated minorities as such.
An economically disadvantaged small business is one that is at least 51 percent unconditionally and directly owned by one or more individuals who submit financial and narrative information that the SBA determines qualifies them for the designation. For initial designation as eligible for the Section 8(a) Program, the net worth of an individual claiming disadvantage must be less than $250,000; for continued eligibility after initial admission to the program, the individual's net worth must be less than $750,000 (in both instances excluding equity in one's primary residence and equity in the socially and economically disadvantaged small business).
A small disadvantaged business (SDB) is an economically disadvantaged small business certified by the SBA, except that the net worth of the owner can be as high as $750,000 (excluding equity in a primary residence and in the SDB). The Department of Transportation classifies women-owned small businesses as a "disadvantaged business enterprise" (DBE).
A woman-owned small business is "one that is at least 51 percent owned by one or more women; and whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of such women." A woman-owned small business may also qualify as socially and economically disadvantaged. Self-certification as a woman-owned business is currently allowed.
NOTE: Other categories of small businesses may receive preferential treatment: veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and "HUBZone" small businesses (see www.sba.gov/GC/goals/ [December 2004]).

Pharrell Williams - Happy (The Rose Tint BoomTrap Remix)
Artist: Pharrell Williams
Producer: !llmind
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 3 votes )
Yesterday, Pharrell Willams released his highly-anticipated sophomore solo album. To celebrate its arrival, Booth-acclaimed beatsmith !llmind has put his own spin on the set's ubiquitous, Grammy-winning lead single, Happy. Whereas the original was upbeat and breezy, the Rose Tint BoomTrap Remix is a bit heavier on its feet. Pharrell's exuberant vocals and production get tweaked, stretched, sliced and diced over a bed of ominous synth arpeggios, sirens, sizzling hi-hats and bubble-popping sound effects. The beat restlessly shifts rhythms until the outro, when it settles into a pleasantly wavy synth/sample groove. This promo single isn't attached to any larger project, but fans can find the album version on G I R L, which is out now via Columbia. Later this month, !llmind will be the first subject in our new interview series, Behind the Boards.

November 23, 2014
April 11, 2014
ACCOMAC, Va. (AP) - A judge is considering a woman's request for separate trials on 62 counts of setting fires on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
Media outlets report that the judge wants to review testimony from Tonya Bundick's earlier trial on two charges, as well as a statement by co-defendant Charles Smith, before ruling.
Bundick's lawyer told an Accomack County judge Thursday that separate trials are warranted because there was no common goal in the fires. A prosecutor argued that the goal was to allow Bundick and Smith to maintain their romantic relationship.
The judge ruled that any jury trial will be held in Virginia Beach, where Bundick was convicted on two counts. He granted a request that Bundick be allowed to wear makeup in court.
Smith pleaded guilty to 68 charges in October.

Hot Stove Notes: Anderson Would Be Terrible Fit For Dodgers
There was a bit of action in the baseball world today. Here is my quick take on some of the latest Hot Stove tidbits.
Dodgers crazy if interested in Anderson: The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a rather quiet offseason. Outside of locking up a few of their core arbitration-eligible players and adding utility infielder Jamey Carroll and Vicente Padilla via free agency, Ned Colletti has not been too busy. Many suspect that the ongoing McCourt divorce has limited their ability to spend, going back to their ridiculous decision to not offer Randy Wolf arbitration. Well, apparently the team is not done yet, after all. According to a tweet from Yahoo's Tim Brown, Los Angeles has expressed interest in free agent veteran Garrett Anderson as a fourth outfielder.
That is, to put it nicely, nuts. Anderson has generally been overrated throughout his career due to his ability to post a near .300 average while racking up impressive hits totals. His inability to get on base via the walk (4.7 career BB%), however, has limited his offensive value, especially given his declining power. Now 38, he is two year's removed from his last productive season and has posted a sub-average OPS+ in four of the past six seasons. As the primary left fielder for the Atlanta Braves in 2009, he "hit" .268/.303/.401, racking up a putrid 86 OPS+. His days of being a productive offensive player, it seems, have passed.
More concerning, though, a good fourth outfielder can play all three spots effectively in a pinch; or at the least, both corners. Indeed, defense should be a major consideration when pursuing a primary extra outfielder. Anderson, however, cannot play the field anymore, either. In '09, he cost the Braves 11.9 runs below an average fielder with his shoddy defense. And, while he was productive in the outfield during his final season with the Los Angeles Angels (10.0 UZR), this is where you trust your scouts. Most scouts felt that he lost a step by watching him, and even with a slight improvement, his glove will never again be an asset.
Anderson was truly a nightmare during his one year with Atlanta, posting –1.0 Wins Above Replacement. So, I would strongly advise the Dodgers to stay away and go after a fourth outfielder who can do things like, say, getting on base and fielding well.
Brewers add Edmonds: Well, the Jim Edmonds comeback tour officially has a start date. Edmonds, who announced his willingness to play for the league minimum at St. Louis Cardinals fan fest a few weeks back, signed with the Milwaukee Brewers today, according to Ken Rosenthal. As Dave Cameron discussed this morning, targeting old, over-the-hill players might be the newest market inefficiency. I am not sure bringing Edmonds back is exploiting anything, but it was an interesting move, nonetheless. He was quite productive with the Chicago Cubs in '08, batting .256/.369/.568 with 19 homers and a 134 OPS+ in 298 plate appearances following a dismal start with the San Diego Padres. After that finish, it seemed likely that he would find another gig but he generated a mild response. Thus, Edmonds is a total Wild Card. He should still be able to hit righties well, but his defense was awful back two years ago, and counting on him to replicate his hitting with the Cubs is a trap. He is a 0.5-win player, at best, but in the right role could help Milwaukee a bit. With limited risk, the question is this: why not? At this rate, he appears to be just going down the line of NL Central teams, doesn't it? Get ready, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
Rays sign former number one pick Bush: I have to say. There is always a place for talent. Matt Bush was a terrible overdraft for the Padres in 2004 (how you feeling not selecting Stephen Drew?), and arguably a bigger number one overall pick bust than Greg Oden/Sam Bowie. He toiled around in the minors as a shortstop with poor plate discipline, making the headlines more for his off-field behavior than on-field performance. Converted to a pitcher, the results have still yet to come. He still has a live arm, though, from his days as a two-way star in high school.
The Tampa Bay Rays, then, were right to take a shot in signing him today. There is limited downside, really. If Bush struggles or gets in trouble with the law again, the Rays can simply release him. Talent never goes out of style, so perhaps the kid can finally make it work, though it admittedly remains a long shot.
Royals express interest in Bedard: Dayton Moore has continued to amaze with his awful decision-making. That Jason Kendall contract was beyond defensible, and, while the Rick Ankiel move was okay, Moore has continued to prove that the fans should not "trust the process." Making a run at Erik Bedard, though, could be worthwhile for the club, and, according to Sam Mellinger, is a real possibility. Bedard is injury prone, of course, but he was quite effective for the Mariners when healthy. Bedard registered a 154 ERA+ and struck out 90 in 83.0 innings pitched in '09. While he has been limited to just 30 starts the past two seasons, he could be a great pickup for a team looking to take a chance. He will be motivated, too, since he can reenter the market next winter if he puts up a productive campaign.
I was not crazy about the Ben Sheets signing for Oakland. Sheets was worth the risk for a win-now team, which the A's are not. Even if the team hopes to trade him for prospects, that is no sure thing since pitchers on the DL generally do not fetch much in prospects these days. So, in order to make sense for Kansas City, Bedard will have to come at a considerably lower price than that. I think he probably will. The other team most often linked to Bedard is his former employer, the Baltimore Orioles. Imagine if he ends back with the Orioles, which would make that ridiculous trade with the Mariners even more comical. The club would get to keep its incredible return—and their third baseman of the future, Josh Bell, who was acquired when the front office flipped George Sherrill—and get back the guy they sent to the Mariners in the first place.

- Go elsewhereDisappointedVIPDined on 11/18/2014I don't see what everyone is talking about. From the bread basket to the pastas and to the service, my husband and I were extremely let down. Other italian restaurants are much better (dell 'anima, l'apicio, even gigino's). The bread was cold and rubbery. The pastas seemed just plain and tasteless. Took forever for us to get attention from our waiter after our orders were taken and there were huge time lapses between courses. To be fair, I had the quail appetizer which was tasty. Everything else I will pass and go elsewhere.
- Dinner for two in the wine cellarRichieRichDined on 11/18/2014Best meal of the year! Romantic dining in their wine cellar is much calmer than main dining room. Great attention to detail is obvious from bread through dessert. Service is attentive, friendly and knowledgable but not intrusive. The wine suggested was a different and enjoyable choice. I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always love il bucoabanycDined on 11/17/2014great food, great wine... only lately soooo many people.... but still it's il buco.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as advertisedProspero30Dined on 11/15/2014Friends and family have been raving about Il Buco for many years, so I was delighted to have a chance to have lunch there last week. The lovely setting, attentive service, and good company made for an enjoyable expereince, but I have to say: (1) the otherwise good kale salad was overdressed; (2) the paparadelle was not as good as what we make at home and was oversalted, and the rest of the dish was short on flavor; (3) the porchetta sandwich was not as good as that from the Durham, NC food truck of the same name; and (4) the wine by the glass list was disappointing. Given its reputation and ambiance, I'll give it another chance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Ambience, Weird Res Time = Weird ServicemollyDined on 11/14/2014Everything was fantastic --- the food, the staff was friendly, it was quiet and beautiful. The only downer was our reservation was at 3:45 - (a weird time to begin with I know) and the restaurant called us a couple hours beforehand and asked us to move our reservation time 15 minutes earlier or we wouldn't be able to order before the kitchen closes. That was a tight squeeze, and while we were still eating the restaurant essentially shut down --- the food deliveries came in, the staff sat down to eat --- this was all fine, except that our waitress cut out too, and then there was absolutely no one paying an ounce of attention to us. The entire staff was sitting at the next table, and I tried to get their attention for about 10 or 15 minutes to ask for our coats (which I think they forgot about). Finally the sommelier walked by and I flagged him, but instead of getting our coats he handed off the ticket to a different employee, who continued chatting for a bit before getting our coat. So ---- in conclusion --- the food is great, the ambience is probably wonderful too at prime eating hours, but if you come at an off-time they treat you like yesterday's toast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AlbertDined on 11/10/2014Very fresh and creative. Hard to get a reservation though!Special Features:
- Wonderful dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/8/2014As promised, a rustic Italian serving locally sourced, delicious food with just a tiny pinch of fine dining thrown in. Fresh basket of bread, olive oil and sea salt went down well with a bottle of (reasonably priced) Italian red. 2 appetizers (next time will definitely try more) Kale salad and fresh creamy, sweet ricotta. Still dreaming of the pork with light, crisp melt-in-the-mouth crackling. Tuna steak (always a risky one) was moist, juicy and cooked to perfection. Ambience is romantic and cozy. Whilst tables are suited for family/shared dining they do an excellent job of splitting the tables with big rustic plant pots so if you are a couple, you don't feel as if you are dining with your neighbor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/8/2014Enjoyed our lunch here. We had one issue with the kitchen that delayed our order, however the staff was very accomadating in rectifying the situation.

- Absolutely fantastic !!!Luv2shareDined on 10/30/2014Absolutely fantastic !!! Ive had the pleasure of dining at many well seasoned and notable spots in our great city; By far and without hesitation, Il Buco is at the top of my list and will most likely remain there for years to come. The ambiance, service, food and general spirit of the place is one of a kind. The chief, manager and staff obviously work very well together and know how to bring their passion for food and service to the customer. To find a place that truly has a passion for what they do is tough to find....look no further, Il Buco is it!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So cosy, a real gemHeatherDined on 10/26/2014Il Buco was a fabulous experience from the very friendly greeting and seating through help choosing food and wine to eating a delicious meal. The porchetta was to die for, so tender and melting in a way I've never tasted pork. And with my starter of cavolonero it was healthy too! When not eating we loved looking at all the vintage arrangements around the restaurant. Wish we lived nearer, it would be our regular haunt but do hope to returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/26/2014It was our 2nd visit and we had a delicious meal with friendly and attentive service .

Next time we visit from Ireland , Il Buco will be high on our list .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious!sonhomeu01VIPDined on 10/25/2014Il Buco is excellent! The maccheroni I had with homemade sausage and cubanelle peppers was superb. My fiancée had swordfish cooked to perfection, while our friend had steak and it was also excellent. We loved the bread and olive oil, our kale salad, brussel sprouts, and meat plate. Our server was great and helpful. My friend had a craft beer from Italy that came in a very cool bottle, and he raved about the beer. Wine selection was awesome. The only thing we weren't too wild about was the dessert. The flourless chocolate cake was dry, the fried ricotta balls were dry and needed a lot more huckleberry sauce. The flourless chocolate cake could have also used the huckleberry sauce. The apple tart was really the only dessert worth eating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Sit downstairs in the wine cellar for a quieter but very fun and interesting background. You feel like you're having an intimate dinner in your wine-making friend's basement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Il Buco has it right!LizaVIPDined on 10/22/2014Il Buco has it right; it's slinky & seductive while still maintaining a charming accessibility and air. The food is extremely fresh & executed w/ skill & perfection. In short, Il Buco is perfect for a date night, ladies night out, after-work drink or family gathering. The dimly lit main dining room has pottery-laden shelves, scattered w/ wine bottles, & copper pots hanging from hooks or stuffed in the corners. The eclectic wall art & light fixtures transform the rather cramped room w/ low ceilings into a fab authentic Italian 'straunt. The wine cellar is more relaxed & private, & reminiscent of a room that you would expect to find in the basement of an old Italian estate.

- flacco1Dined on 10/19/2014Nice decor. Food was okay but not outstanding. Great wine list. Didn't enjoy the fact that I was at a communal table when I was a party of two. Takes away from the romantic experience. Perhaps sitting at the communal table was the reason for the disappointing service. Seemed like the larger groups around us got a lot more attention from the waiter then did my reservation. Had to remind the waiter that I ordered coffees after finished our desserts. Oh I forgot to ring that in he said.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful food. Loud roomJgallaDined on 10/10/2014Everything about our visit to Il Buco was wonderful, with the single exception of the noise level in the room. Lovely food, beautifully prepared, attentive service, excellent wine list. But noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Late Night DelightJerseygourmetDined on 9/30/2014Our post theater experience at Il Buco was outstanding. Among our many selections, the risotto, grilled octopus, kale salad and bread were to die for. Excellent wine choice, compliments of the sommelier. Couldn't have had a nicer evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We had been recommended this restaurant by friends in Sweden and we were not disappointed. The food was realy good and tasty and the service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great NYC dining experiencenyc2dineDined on 9/27/2014My wife and I spent a day in NYC celebrating our anniversary, capping it off with dinner at IL Buco. Drinks, food, atmosphere were fantastic and our waiter made us feel like regulars. The service was patient and attentive without making you feel rushed. We will definitely visit IL Buco again and would recommend it to anyone seeking a restaurant that's off the beaten path.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not just a gem a 'gem'CABARETDined on 9/26/2014Truly fabulous! What can be said? Go eat and see for yourself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/26/2014Exquisite food in flavor and presentation (some portions very small), beautiful, romantic space (downstairs in high-ceilinged, lowlit wine cellar), impeccable service. Pure delight for all of the senses.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Très bonne table !!AurelieDined on 9/23/2014Excellent cooking Very fresh products for dishes rich in flavor, sublime wines perfect service !!!Special Features:
- hungrygrlVIPDined on 9/23/2014Il Buco never disappoints, food and service always consistent, the food is so thoughtfully & carefully prepared, never gimmicky. I shall keep returning and hope to always be able to secure a table....thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014We were there for the pris fixe meal and it was amazing. The fluke with cherry tomatoes may have been the best tasting course. I was not so impressed with the broth course. The pasta and sword fish were superb. I will come again for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood GemLindaVIPDined on 9/20/2014Great spot to relax and enjoy people watching on the patio.Special Features:
- redsquare32Dined on 9/17/2014Il Buco was a charming, romantic spot tucked away on Bond Street. The food was delicious and the staff gracious. We had a very leisurely lunch and I would definitely come backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodSambuccaDined on 9/10/2014First time we went to Il Buco. Loved it! The steak and veal were awesome. Definitely will go back.Special Features:
- Incredible!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/9/2014I haven't been to Il Buco for many years. An old friend introduced me to the restaurant over a decade ago when we were students at NYU, and I immediately regretted being away from this amazing restaurant for so many years. The ambience is perfect. The food is beyond perfection. My girlfriend and I ordered several courses and our server coursed it perfectly. There was not a single poor dish, from the olive oil, olives, the lamb crudo, pappardelle pasta and the perfect finish to our meal, their special rib eye for two. Actually I stand corrected, the perfect finish was the panna cotta. Il Buco is single handedly the best Italian restaurant and one of the best restaurants in NY.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What's the pointGraciedinerVIPDined on 9/9/2014Of making a reservation when you still have to wait 45 minutes to be seated? Then when we finally were, or party of 4 was put at a big round table that really would have been more suited for 6 people. Add the high noise level to the big table and it meant you could really only talk to one person at a time. There are so many restaurants doing this type of food and doing it well. The food was fine but these logistical issues are enough to warrant going somewhere else when conversation and convenience matter.
- good but not amazingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/9/2014Overall the food was very good, but not all of it was as fresh as I would have expected. We had the zucchini flowers, which were fine. Pasta was nice. The pork entree and skate wing were both very good. Dessert: The sorbet was good but the peach galette (tart special of the day) lacked in so many ways. There was a strong hint of "I've been sitting in a refrigerator with savory things for too long" flavor, and the peaches were probably mushy before making the galette. The setting is lovely, which is one reason I've wanted to go there for so long. We were seated in the back nook next to the kitchen and waiters' station. And they dropped at least 5 things over the course of our meal, but the noise level in the front space seemed even worseSpecial Features:
- Amazing place!Emi2013VIPDined on 9/8/2014Dinner was great, very good service loved the place. Relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rustic Charm in VillBunnyweisserDined on 9/4/2014If you haven't ventured to Bond Street to try this place out, you are missing out. The food is great seasonal fare and the ambiance is quite lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved the wineFundinnerDined on 9/3/2014The sommalier helped select a moderately priced wine that was enjoye by everyone at the table. We all passed our plates so everyone got a taste of what was ordered. Wonderful service!Special Features:
- Great seating in Wine CellarOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014The food in this restaurant is great but it can be a little crowded upstairs. The best place to be seated is downstairs in the wine cellar.Special Features:

Zip It1 of 9
By Naomi Chrisoulakis
Why is it so much easier to see solutions to other people's problems than to sort out our own? (That's a rhetorical question.) Even when you think you've got it all figured out, there's some advice that should always be withheld. Here, eight situations where butting out is the best idea.
Parental Control2 of 9
The issue: Your friend lets their child rule their life—and your catch-up sessions.
What not to say: "Little Brandon looks like he could do with some more discipline and a lot less sugar. Why don't you try the naughty step technique?" Parenting is more art than science, so what worked for you may not work for someone else.
Tummy Time3 of 9
The issue: Your pregnant friend orders two cookies for dessert.
What not to say: "Is that second one for you or for the baby?" Pregnant women often bear the brunt of other people's well-meaning advice, which means you should think long and hard before you offer your own.
Matters of the Heart4 of 9
The issue: Your bestie is dating a loser and she says she's in love.
What not to say: "He's a loser! Seriously, girl, get rid of him." Unless he actually does something that you see firsthand (like making out with another woman or being condescending to your friend), it's best to keep mum. If the guy's really awful, she should be able to figure it out on her own soon enough.
Neighborhood Watch5 of 9
The issue: Your friend and her husband are looking for houses in a transitional neighborhood that you think is unsafe.
What not to say: "I would never live in an area like that." Unless you're offering to cover the down payment in an area that meets your standards, then you don't get to have an opinion on this.
Food Fight6 of 9
The issue: Your colleague eats the same less-than-healthy lunch every day.
What not to say: "I hate to say it, but that meal has more fat than a burger. Why don't you try quinoa? It's so nutritious." Anytime you have to start a statement with "I hate to say it," don't. Just don't.
Home Inspection7 of 9
The issue: You're at a dinner party and the wineglasses are smudged and smeared.
What not to say: "You know, I use a special glass cloth to keep mine from looking like this. And you can get your flatware looking so much better with lemon juice." Um, who died and made you Martha Stewart?
Single Status8 of 9
The issue: Your sibling is single and shows every sign of staying that way.
What not to say: "Maybe if you put a little more effort into your appearance and got out more, then you'd meet someone." There's nothing original about this bit of advice, so unless you actually have something new and insightful to say on the subject of meeting someone, you can save it.
Cut It Out9 of 9
The issue: You hate your partner's new haircut.
What not to say: "Next time, I'm taking you to my hairdresser. What did they do to you?!" It's hair—it grows back.

Stephen Beard
Jul 23, 2012 The London Olympics will put Britain's capital in the spotlight, but some wonder how much of a payoff the Games bring in the long-term.
Big competition for small businesses around Olympic Park
Stephen Beard
Jul 20, 2012 When the Olympics start next week in London, there will be, of course, winners and losers among the athletes. There will also be, outside Olympic Park in the East End of London, no small competition among businesses.
Marketing Olympians
Tess Vigeland
Interview by
Jul 23, 2012 There's glory in the winning gold, but possibly even better is for an athlete to land a well-paying sponsorship in the years leading up to and after the Olympics. But gold doesn't always mean green for athletes.

All my life, I thought I ate spaghetti pretty quickly. I mean, I sort of eat like a duck -- light on the chew, heavy on the swallow and stomach-ache-time quickly afterward. If I really wanted, I could probably finish a plate in three minutes. But man, I have nothing on these dogs. I didn't grow up ... More >>

The right bread can either make or ruin a meal. Sandwich bread doesn't have enough gluten? It's going to fall apart. Crust too crisp? You're going to destroy your mouth. Crumb too, uh, crumby?

Everyone knows that you should never freeze a steak if you don't have to. Did you invest in a cow and now have several hundred pounds of beef to store? Alright, freeze it.

It's kind of fun watching the United States fast food wars.

Another week, another write up. You guys are stuck with me again while LP's away. Let's take a look at the week that was in food:
Pizza delivery drivers see a lot of shit (figuratively and literally, I'm sure). Drugs? Yup. Sex? Mhmm. Abuse? Unfortunately.

Japanese variety shows are some of the best TV that has ever existed.

Everyone knows I love Alton Brown, and his new grilled cheese video is amazing (especially that crunch at the end), but I'm going to tell you guys: it's only the second best grilled cheese video I've seen. First some background..
I normally refrain from publishing two rants back-to-back, but this next subject has got me so salty I can't wait. People really need to stop calling their random-ass food creations "pho" whatever. Seriously. In the last few weeks, I've seen a pho sandwich and pho nachos, and I'm sure there's a "ph ... More >>
Internet marketing is hard, and viral video marketing is even harder so when an obviously corporate-produced viral video actually makes me go wow, well.. wow.

I am, for the most part, not one for food mashups. Cronuts? Meh. Ramen burgers? Eh. Pizookies? Only when I'm in the mood. But I have to admit, there's one food mashup that's piqued my interest lately -- the Pizza Cake. I mean, just look at it. Holy shit. It's kind of late for an April Fools joke gu ... More >>
For a guy who calls himself a sandwich expert, it's a shame that Aziz Ansari hasn't tried bánh mi until just lately, especially since he lives in Southern California.

Ever wait for your ice cream to thaw and think to yourself, "Man, I wish some virtual musicians were playing for me right now"?

Surprisingly, playing slap the bag in college didn't really develop my palate for wine, so seeing someone actually try to taste whatever the grape version of swill is is kind of.. bewildering, in an entertaining sort of way.

Think back to the first mochi-wrapped ball of ice cream you ate -- I'm going to guess it was either green tea or Kona coffee flavored.

What do you do if you get sued for calling your fried, dough-nut-shaped, layered (and probably overrated) pastry a "Crauxnut"?

Everyone knows that I hate when people smash two different foods together and call it magic. Cronuts? Meh. Ramen burgers? I don't even want to pick one up. And don't even get me started on Pizookies.

Let's face it: No one enjoys beer pong.

The very first step to working with makeup for acne prone skin is to make sure your previous makeup application removal is thorough. While keeping up with a good cleanser and moisturizer that works well with your skin is necessary before any application of makeup, the makeup brushes you use and the care you take of your products may be equally important.
To create a gorgeous, natural makeup look for summer like Karen Elson's, start with the Satin Matte Foundation that matches your skin tone. If you haven't found your match yet, you might want to use our Foundation Selector. To keep your look dewy and light, try mixing your foundation with some of your moisturizer in the palm of your hand and apply as you would a liquid foundation. If you prefer to use your foundation dry, sweep a little Lumina Luminous Shimmer Powder across your cheekbones and forehead.
For a natural flush, Satin Matte Blush in Pink on the apples of the cheeks works for almost every skin tone. Then using the #37 Eye Blending Brush, sweep a little Pearluster Eyeshadow in Champagne on your lids. Using the #33 Angle Liner Brush, line eyes with Pewter Satin Matte Eyeliner. Dampen your brush for a defined look, and then smudge a bit of dry powder around the edges of the liner.
To complete the look, groom your brows, apply a coat or two of black mascara, and sweep Sweet Pea Nourishing Lipbalm on to your lips. Voila, you are ready for a day at the beach or a night on the red carpet!

With naturally sensitive skin, finding the right mineral makeup can be extremely difficult. After disappointing test runs with many sensitive skin beauty products claiming "natural" or "herbal" properties to prevent reactions and keep you feeling fresh and healthy, we can understand the desire to give up the search. Here at Alima Pure, we deeply believe in the idea that less is more. Products should be simple, clean, pure and feel good, no matter how often you use them. This is why our mineral makeup works well with sensitive skin—the fewer ingredients put into the product, the less likely it is to irritate the skin.
Ahhh, the joys of summer. Hot weather, cool water, best friends, great books and delicious icy-cold treats to help you beat the heat. Celebrate summer with the easy to wear Delicious Summer Collection, featuring two eyeshadows and a blush; and the complementary Nourishing Lip Balm.

Recently, we were contacted by Portland-area photographer Diana Sell with an interesting question. She wanted to do a photo shoot for her son's Kindergarten class as an auction project, and needed a little help with the makeup. Now, normally we aren't fans of kindergarteners wearing makeup, but Diana had found an on-line tutorial on how to do deer makeup. Since her son attends Deer Creek school, it seemed like a natural! But the tutorial showed all sorts of makeup that didn't seem like the best things to put on the sensitive skin of young children, so Diana reached out for a little advice.
