In 2010 AJ Bombers was featured on the Travel Channel's Food Wars. AJ Bombers created a bacon cheeseburger to compete against a similar burger from Sobelman's. The Food Wars judges unanimously chose the AJ Bombers burger and declared Bombers The Food Wars Champion.
The winning Food Wars burger, The Milwaukee Burger, is now featured on their menu. AJ Bombers has several other unique burger selections including the Barrie Burger (bacon, cheese and peanut butter), and the Bomber Burger (cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a stuffed mushroom on top). Check out the AJ Bombers website for their full menu.
For details on how to enter today's giveaway for a $25 gift card to AJ Bombers, visit our 24 Days of Holiday Giveaways page.
How to Get a Free Burger at AJ Bombers
Filed under: Dining

AJ Bombers opened in 2009 and quickly became one of the most popular choices for a burger in Milwaukee. Travel Channel's Food Wars came to Milwaukee in 2010 and pitted AJ Bombers against Sobelman's to determine who has Milwaukee's best cheeseburger. AJ Bombers ended up taking the title.
AJ Bombers has continued to create new mouthwatering burgers as evidenced by their new Beastmode Burger. To celebrate the Brewers postseason success, this burger contains a double burger, cheese x4, bacon x4, sriracha, and, of course, stadium sauce.
AJ Bombers is located at 1241 N. Water St. in Milwaukee and recently opened a new location in Madison at 201 W. Gorham St.

AJ Bombers vs. Sobelmans – Which is a Better Value?
Filed under: Dining
There is a lot of buzz going around Milwaukee this week since the Travel Channel is in town to film an episode of Food Wars. The episode they are filming will focus on two popular Milwaukee burger joints – Sobelmans and AJ Bombers. Sobelmans has been known for their excellent burgers for years. AJ Bombers hopes to dethrone Sobelmans and claim the title of Milwaukee's Best Burger. The excitement has been fueled by some friendly trash-talking between Joe Sorge, who owns AJ Bombers, and Dave Sobelman.
There is no denying that both AJ Bombers and Sobelmans have awesome burgers. We're not going to try to declare one better than the other. We'll let the panel of judges from Food Wars make that determination. So, we'll stick to asking a question that we're good at: Which burger joint offers diners a better value?
Sobelmans opened its doors in 1999 and quickly became famous for their burgers. The signature Sobelman-Burger consists of a 1/3 pound Black Angus beef patty topped with cheddar, Swiss and American cheese, bacon, and a mixture of fried onions and jalapeno peppers. The burger is served with french fries and costs $7.25.

Mob City - Episodes 1.01 & 1.02 - A Guy Walks Into a Bar - Review
Posted by chris684 at Friday, December 06, 2013 7 CommentsCancelled Shows Reviews
The series was created by Frank Darabont, a name The Walking Dead fans will recognize as the creator of the hit series who was fired amongst a lot of controversy at the start of season 2. Darabont reunites with a few killed-off cast members from the zombie series, namely Jon Bernthal (Shane), Jeffrey DeMunn (Dale), and Andrew Rothenberg (Jim). TWD fans will get a kick of seeing Bernthal and DeMunn working together under very different conditions - on a police sting to catch some mobsters - seeing as Shane and Dale had a very complicated relationship on TWD.
The series has thus far centered on L.A. Police Detective Joe Teague (Bernthal), a man who describes himself as neither a "white hat," nor "black hat," referencing characters in Western movies who are out to shape the world in their own image, but rather a "gray hat." Like the character Bernthal played on TWD, we learn that Teague's world is in fact very gray, with a twist that comes at the conclusion of the first hour of the series. He's far from a boy scout, but he has his own rules and follows his own code. Just how successful he is in surviving under that code in a world of notorious criminals including "Bugsy" Siegel, Sid Rothman, and Mickey Cohen, remains to be seen.
The standout scenes for me so far have been Teague's interactions at a smokey and sultry blues bar with old friend and former Marines brother-in-arms Ned Stax (Milo Ventimiglia, Heroes). While Teague is now a cop, Stax works for Siegel. The two share a history and bond, and knowledge of each other's secrets. Their bond has survived their transition from the WWII battlefields to their new roles on the streets of Los Angeles.
I think my impression may have been largely due to having watched this in a two-hour block. The story was obviously structured to be seen as separate one-hour episodes rather than as a two-hour movie, so if you have yet to watch this series, I recommend splitting up the first two hours. Another criticism is that the story didn't have a strong hook that pulled me in. Right now, I'm curious to see more, and think this might lead to some great TV entertainment, but to be honest, I'm not really sure what the story is yet.
I read a review elsewhere by a critic who had seen more of the series, and acknowledged that parts of the first two hours were slow, but said if you can get through that, the rest is worth it. So I'll be back to watch more. Also, the promos for next week look great!

Product Description
Zak doesn't like Christmas. He doesn't have any friends (thanks to his speech impediment), and every year at the orphanage he works his fingers to the bone making toys for other kids. Nobody has ever given him a Christmas gift, so what is there to be joyful about?
An adventure in Scraptown--a junkyard where people dump unwanted robots--leads Zak to find kindred spirits in a group of oddball bots with their own special quirks. While on the run from a wacky scientist bent on taking over the orphanage, Zak and his new friends learn a powerful lesson about how Christmas started with a baby named Jesus--who grew up to save the world. Inspired to embrace their true potential, Zak and the Wobots jump into action to save the holiday! Approx. 50 minutes.

Trans at Work – soft launch
The next major initiative of We Happy Trans will be the Trans at Work project.
I and many others believe that the greatest issue facing trans people is employment. Whether it's a young person who can't find a safe form of employment, or an established professional who doesn't come out in fear of losing their job, employment issues impact our confidence, security, income, relationships, power and place in society. If the trans movement is going to move forward, it has to provide opportunities to the most vulnerable members of our community and empower our most capable leaders.
The Trans at Work project is comprised of five initiatives aimed at influencing mulitple aspects of employment. Our hope is that any small movement on any one of these fronts will be well worth the effort. There is more information in the video below.
This is a soft launch in order to consider additional initiatives, gauge interest and capacity, identify possible institutional partners, and eliminate redundancies where these efforts are already being successfully undertaken elsewhere. We are also looking to put together a team of volunteers for each of these initiatives, and 1-2 team leaders to coordinate their activities. Please contact me via jen @ wehappytrans.com if you'd like to participate.
Initiative #1: A submission driven video project a la the 7 Questions project, where we'll invite trans people to submit videos or blogs about their experiences transitioning on the job, or seeking employment while trans. As with the 7Qs, it will focus on success stories, announcement examples, and recommended strategies.
Initiative #2: A resource center for employers with trans employees, containing sample HR policies, stories from other employers, best practices, etc.
Initiative #3: A trans honor roll for businesses and organizations that are supportive of trans employees.
Initiative #4: A professional network for trans people to share advice, job opportunities, stories, etc.
Initiative #5: We will seek to get one or more national companies to publicly encourage transgender applicants for entry level positions and to support those employees on the job.
Again, this is a soft launch, so please leave your ideas and comments below, or email me to volunteer. We hope to formally launch no later than early 2013.
Thank you.

Quite frankly I don't know were you get the energy, you go Girl!
opps spelling, I should say "where" you get the energy
I'd be happy to provide my story and nominate my employer
I sent you an email. I would like to help with initiative #4. I think a professional network can be key to raising awareness with employers.
I went through a successful work transition with a company that is all boy toy related. I can share my story if you wish, I may beable to lend a hand with 2 and 4 also. It has been almost 9 years since I dropped the bomb on them and things have been stable but with caviats.
Love what you're doing–it's a great thing. I'm the author of "The Complete Guide to Transgender in the Workplace," the first full-length, hardcover book on this leading-edge topic ever released by a mainstream publisher. I work as a provider of professional transgender business services, including corporate consulting, policy/guideline development, speaking/presenting, and awareness/inclusion training. I have been involved in this field since 1991. I work nationally with organizations of all sizes, from Fortune 100 companies to nonprofits, helping them to become trans-inclusive. If I can be of assistance to you in this important effort, please let me know. My website is http://www.vanessasheridan.com. Thanks for taking on this project. It's exciting to see good things happening for our community.
FYI Disneyland/World (not national employers exactly) are the largest single site employers in the country. The Florida parks employ around 50,000 people and have trans employees who they have accommodated well (many employees live in staff housing). Could be worth checking out.
I am a Federal employee and transitioned on the job in November, 2009. My entire transition was detailed on my blog page and the New York Times also ran a very positive story on my transition in the workplace. I will post the links below in case you are interested.
Thanks and good luck,

My Article in the New York Times:
I am in my third year of transition as an employee of Seattle Public Schools. I transitioned on the job and I work as a school psychologist in three elementary schools. I would nominate my employer. I'd be happy to participate.
Hi Jill! I'm in Seattle, too. I suspect that a trans honor roll (#3) would have a lot of Seattle employers. I wonder if there would be any kind of utility in compiling something like that locally? Just thinking out loud…
Great idea, love this initiative. Thanks for all the work you do.
We would love to help you with this important work. The SF LGBT Center's Trans* Employment Program has helped people get connected to over 500 jobs in the last five years, we believe that addressing economic issue is key to our movement. Please let us know how we can partner and share our resources to help this work go national. Learn more on our websites:
This is an awesome idea… As someone who is transitioning on the job, I am very excited to see this project evolve and participate…
I am writing a narrative of my transition at work within the last year. I'd be happy to share this as well as recording something on video. Also, I am going to see if my HR person, with whom I worked closely to coordinate everything, would like to contribute some best practice documents, checklists, advice, etc. I can also lend my librarian talents to coordinating and organizing materials for initiatives #2 and #3.
Fifty years as a man, husband, farther, breadwinner for five in a good social states, and for the last thirty years, Len for five days a week and Lynda for two. Works well both ways, I call myself "bi-gender"
I am actually seeking for a job in the greater Seattle, WA area; I am transgender but having problems coming out due to fear of losing of a job and now since I have no job, I fear to not get a job. I am actually thinking about coming out on my resume to see if a company would be okay from the get go. Does anyone have any comments on this; or does anyone know of any trans friendly companies in the greater Seattle, WA area?
Jessica! Hi!
First and foremost, you are probably in one of the best cities/states to be trans and employed. Basically, in this town we are everywhere. A friend of mine is working on trans employment concerns locally and I may join forces with her shortly, so I personally will know more soon.
For what it's worth, trans employees are included in WA state's anti-discrimination law. Seattle and the other large cities in western WA also have anti-discrimination language in their laws. You cannot be fired just for being trans. (www.hum.wa.gov/employment/WLADEmployment.html) My transition at my job was flawless (uplifting, actually) and the previous 5 years as blatantly gender non-conforming were no problem at all either.
In the meantime, PLEASE send me an email at: agent at nebcorp dot com. We can chat online or meet up and discuss your specific situation/questions further. Having done this recently, the bureaucratic hoops are still fresh in my head. Let me reiterate, contact me please. There is no reason for you to be stricken by fear… not in Seattle!
Hi Amy , I've been gradually transitioning for some time now and was employed for 18 years for a railroad company but was fired for what everyone would say was very wrong reason but I can't prove descrimination. I currently live in the tri cities in eastern Wa and will hopefully moving to the west side of Wa near Everett and will be looking for employment. I was making a very good income with great benefits, but at this point I would just settle for a job I can live openly as a woman I was meant to be. My family and the few friends I have all say I am very passable and don't look like a man at all but I need to work on my voice . My femme name is Melanie and I hope you contact me for some insight or advice I would greatly appreciate it. My cell # 509-989-1331 or email address is firstname.lastname@example.com I hope to here from you soon . Thanks for listening, Melanie
will be reading this as were i work anything less then manly is wrong.
anything anti gay, trans, lesbian, etc is put down with glee.
even the union is anti.
sure they would abide by the law…but only in that. nothing else.
I just stumbled across wehappytrans.com. I'm a civilian employee for the Department of Defense working thru the initial stages of transitioning at work. I've contacted my HR anonymously and they appear to be willing to support trans employees. However, the branch I work for has no experience on helping employees and their coworkers during transition. Thus, this would be a tremendous resource once these initiatives get underway. I wish I could volunteer to help. But, the best I could do is volunteer as a guinea pig. Since I haven't started my transition yet, perhaps I could test certain aspects of these initiatives to see what works best and what may not work so well.
I'd be happy to help however I can.
Worked through the Pac North West in transiton to include WA Dept Corrections (Employed by, not a resident of, LOL)

I feel I have accomplished more as Nicole than as John.
Please let me know if I can help. I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and have 30 years experience in radio broadcasting and might be able to help in a few different ways.
I'm grateful to see resources here. I'm a full-time church musician living in the midwest. Pretty fearful at this point, and not seeing a whole lot of options.
SoCal is an objective because of family, but no work history, etc…?
Thanks for any thoughts.

By Dr. Sc. Tom Mortier,
The Department of Health and Technology,
Leuven University College
|Tom Mortier
It is well known that euthanasia is out of control in the Netherlands. Last year, 4188 people were reported to have died by euthanasia in the Netherlands. (Link). This number does not include the (estimated 20 - 23%) unreported euthanasia deaths.
In January 2014 the euthanasia debate in the Netherlands re-started intensively after the Dutch newspaper Trouw reported a big quarrel between doctors about the euthanasia death of a 35-year-old psychiatric patient in 2012. (Link).
A young woman with psychiatric problems asked her general practitioner for euthanasia. For this purpose, her general practitioner consulted the first independent doctor, but this doctor gave a negative recommendation. A second independent doctor ruled that the euthanasia request could not be granted because, according to him, there were still treatment options. The general practitioner then asked a third doctor, a psychiatrist, who only needed two weeks to conclude that the problems of the 35-year old woman were untreatable and thus a lethal injection was legitimized. Two days later, on
December 19 2012, the patient was killed.
In April 2013 the regional Review Commission on Euthanasia stated that the euthanasia was performed 'carefully'. Nonetheless, there is now a big discussion between the doctors and one doctor, George Wolfs, has submitted a complaint because he received a negative 'treatment' during the hearings in front of the Review Commission on Euthanasia. Under the twelve year old Dutch Euthanasia Act there has never been such a complaint. (Link)
Now, the Dutch psychiatrist Boudewijn Chabot, one of the countries most famous euthanasia advocates, and a former leader of the NVVE, has written an opinion in the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad that the euthanasia law in The Netherlands is derailed. (Link) He came to this conclusion after some remarkable Dutch euthanasia cases.
Fourteen euthanasia or assisted suicide deaths of psychiatric patients were reported at the Dutch regional euthanasia review committees in 2012. There were 13 similar deaths in 2011. The euthanasia review committees judged that all of the cases in 2012 were performed carefully. In 2013, the euthanasia review committees came to the conclusion that seven of the nine euthanasia deaths of psychiatric patients performed by the Levenseindekliniek (Life end clinic) were done carefully. (Link)
The Life End Clinic consists of thirty travelling teams that have a doctor and a nurse who will do euthanasia anywhere in the Netherlands. Most of the doctors working for this clinic are general practitioners and internists, but there are also two psychiatrists. One of the psychiatrists is Gerty Casteelen (Link). For example, she lethally injected a 54 year-old woman with a personality disorder, eating disorder and a chronic obsessive-compulsive neurosis. Casteelen doesn't find it hard to kill her patients because she believes that she makes people very happy. Not only the patient, but also the family who daily sees how their loved one was suffering.
Another patient who received euthanasia in 2013, was a physically healthy man of 63 who was working for a government institution. He never had a relationship and the only thing he did his whole life was work. This man had been treated for a long time for depression, but the treatment didn't work out. He also tried to commit suicide, but he failed. According to psychiatrist Casteelen this man decided that he wanted to die. The night before his death, he gave a farewell reception for his colleagues. The day after, Casteelen went to his house and gave him a lethal injection. (Link)
It is remarkable that Boudewijn Chabot has stated that the Dutch Euthanasia law has become derailed. In 1994 he was found guilty and sentenced for prescribing a lethal dose in the assisted suicide death of a woman with mental problems. The judge didn't punish him or impose a sentence on him because of the exceptional circumstances of the case and that he was acting carefully. This judicial statement became the basis for the Dutch euthanasia law (Link).
More than 4000 people die by euthanasia in the Netherlands each year. People who are not euthanized by their general practitioner or psychiatrist will go to the Life End Clinic.
Chabot argues that psychiatric patients should only be lethally injected by their own treating practitioners. Furthermore, Chabot is stating that 'he does not feel comfortable' with the Dutch euthanasia law because it has flaws and he is startled by the recent developments in the country.

Air Jordan III – Jason Taylor Cleat PE
October 20th, 2011 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments
We recently saw the Air Jordan III get the yellow treatment on the 'Pit Crew' Air Jordan III's, but this pair of cleats made for the Dolphins' Jason Taylor takes it to another level. From the ankle collar all the way down to the elephant print, the boost of color on these really sets them apart, together with the one of a kind "JT 55″ embroidery on the tongue. Apparently made for him during his days with the Washington Redskins, the black and yellow colorway matches up much more with his hometown of Pittsburgh. Hit the jump for a better look and let us know how this Air Jordan III cleat ranks among the other non-basketball PE's we've seen for the various Jordan models. via Phase2
this is the rarer pair b.c the NFL doesnt allow the Jordan logo to be on the cleats. so the pair he actually wore didnt have the Jumpman on them. -Tyler
Nice... But I would have liked to see them in the true Miami Dolphin colorway
lookin @ the colors, i was about to say, when did this dude get on the steelers??? only thing that can even resemble the deadskins is the yellow, and even that is off, since the deadskins colors are burguny & gold...

Introducing Q.E.D., a new Astoria venue that plans to host arts and crafts, stand-up comedy, tastings, poetry slams, game nights, walking tours, storytelling, gardening, and much, much more. The owner, Queens resident Kambri Crews, has dubbed it an "after-school space for grown ups" — a sort of all-inclusive art and performance space that will appeal to many. The classes and workshops will be priced affordably and will not require long commitments, and the space will be open to all different types of performers. (It's also available to rent out for private events.) Q.E.D. is located a few blocks from the Astoria/Ditmars subway stop, at 27-16 23rd Avenue between 27th and 28th Streets.
Events at Q.E.D. will start up in early November. Upcoming classes include stand-up comedy for beginners, PR and Marketing 101, Intro to American Sign Language and Intro to Humor Writing. Upcoming shows include open mic nights, adult story time, book releases, podcast recordings and musical performances. Seems to us like an awesome addition to the neighborhood. GMAP

"I am so happy with the robes I purchased from Doie Lounge! They were presented to my matrons of honor and bridesmaids with big bows on the nice white hanger bags that were sent with the robes. They are so soft and comfortable and very well made. I ordered the white one which came I brought with me to Santorini as loungewear on the honeymoon! We shared glasses of champagne and got ready in style as we got our hair and makeup done in the bridal suite. Thanks for making my big day so special!"

"I was fortunate to have amazing sisters to stand beside me on my wedding and knew the Doie Robes would be a perfect gift. I picked a variety of colors that would fit their personalities and I chose my favorite color, blue, so I could continue to wear it after the wedding. They were the perfect attire for the relaxing morning and everyone looked beautiful in the robes with lovely Maui in the background. I was so excited to find these robes and working with Sara made it easy and stress free."

Brendan and I got married at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI on October 18, 2013. We wanted a Fall New England wedding and it was the most magical day! When I met Sara a year before our wedding, I knew these robes would be the perfect gift for my ladies and of course I had to get one for myself (Sadie's my favorite). The morning of the wedding, they were hanging up in Doie garment bags with a special note for each of them when they walked into the room. It was really fun getting ready all together in our robes! They are so soft and cozy and something that we'll have for a long time. Bonus…the girls were able to wear them over their dresses without revealing them to anyone on our way out of the hotel to the ceremony.
Sara is awesome and so easy to work with! I highly recommend these robes because they're such a thoughtful and useful gift and they photograph really well. Every time I wear mine it brings back so many wonderful memories!!!

"My husband Brent and I were married on May 31, 2013 at the St. Regis Princeville on the beautiful island of Kauai. We were fortunate enough to have 30 of our closest friends and family members join in our wedding celebration and the day could not have been any more perfect.
Brent and I wanted to create a wedding that was clean and classy, yet relaxed and tropical. I was struggling with something to get my bridesmaids as a token of my appreciation for being part of our wedding when I came across the Doie robes online. I knew they were perfect the moment I saw them and fit the style of our wedding overall. I was overjoyed that Sara was able to get the handmade robes to me in plenty of time for me to transport them to Hawaii.
My bridal party included my twin sister Hillary, older sister Alison, and my best friend Sara. I gave them the robes the night before the wedding. They each wore the robes while getting ready in the room at the St Regis before the wedding and could not believe that the robes were as soft and comfortable as they are while still looking great. They also made it super easy to transition from getting ready clothes to wedding dresses without messing up our hair.
When I received my photos from the wedding, I was again impressed with appearance of the robes in the photographs. They look beautiful on everyone and I would not have changed a single thing about them. I have used my robe many times since the wedding, not only on our honeymoon, but also at home and while traveling and think of the special occasion it represents each time I put it on. I would definitely recommend these robes to brides looking for a fun, thoughtful, and useful present for their bridesmaids!"

Whit and I were married at the Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay, Jamaica in February of 2013 (the best time to escape a Chicago winter!) 95 of our friends and family joined us in Jamaica for the most memorable, fun-filled weekend. When Whit and I were deciding on gifts for our bridal party we wanted to give them all really special gifts after all they were doing for us! Doie Lounge robes were perfect. I really had never seen anything like them, and I can't even describe how comfy they are (I wear mine EVERY SINGLE DAY when I am getting ready, my husband jokes that I live in it, and he's pretty much telling the truth!)
My bridesmaids absolutely loved these robes, and it was so fun to get ready in the robes all together. My little sister called me last week and said thank you again for the robe as she uses it all the time (in fact she told one of her good friends to use Doie Lounge for her bridesmaid's gifts). It makes me so happy that it is something that the girls can wear all the time and think of our awesome wedding weekend- truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Sara was an amazing vendor to work with…she responds quickly to emails, offers great suggestions and I received the robes extremely quickly- I can't say enough good things about my experience with Sara and Doie Lounge– just the best!

Greg & I were married in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on January 16, 2013. We were so very fortunate to have 65 of our closest family and friends join us and we had an amazing time spending the week with them all. Although it rained our ENTIRE wedding day we refused to let it get us down and had such a great night we were all still dancing at 3 am!
I wanted to get my bridesmaids something that they could also use after the wedding and when I came across these robes I knew they were exactly what I was looking for. They were perfect for lounging around in the suite while we were getting our hair and makeup done and were awesome to have with us for the rest of the vacation. I highly recommend these to destination brides! We all used them throughout the entire week and I already know it will be coming with me to Thailand on our 1 year anniversary trip. The quality of the robes is amazing, they are so soft and even after washing they look like new. They are the perfect mix of sexy, comfy and pretty and I know I will use it for years to come. Sara you're the best!!

I got ready at the Four Seasons in San Francisco with my bridal party the morning of the wedding. Each bridesmaid was surprised with a robe upon entry into the suite. What a fun and unique way it was to thank my "maids" for being a part of this special day! They all looked stylish, and each robe brought out their individual personalities. We had such a great time in these robes taking candid pictures, with our amazing photographers, that we almost forgot to get ready for the wedding! I know each bridesmaid will cherish their robe for years to come, as I know I will… One of my fondest memories of the day is getting ready with my girls in our robes together. It was such a beautiful day!

David and I were married at TPC Jasna Polana in Princeton, New Jersey on May 18th, 2013. I had seven bridesmaids, and I knew that I wanted to find them comfortable and beautiful robes to wear while we were getting ready. I discovered Doie Lounge and Sara through the Style Me Pretty blog, and I couldn't have been happier with my decision to go with the Elena robes for my bridesmaids. Our wedding colors were green, white, and gray, so the colors were perfect. I loved them so much that I ordered a white one for myself! The fabric was so soft, and the inside tie makes sure your robe stays where it belongs! Sara answered my questions quickly, and it was a pleasure to work with her.

{Finding The Right One}
Mike and I were married at the Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ on April 6, 2013. Our venue was right on the water and had the most spectacular views of Manhattan. We were married outside with the city as our back scape; it was the ideal spring day. Our entire wedding weekend was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more!
My bridesmaids gifts were definitely something that I put a lot of thought into. My girls mean the world to me and have always gone above and beyond, not just during the wedding process. I wanted their thank you gifts to be ones that were truly special and something that really showed how much I value and appreciate them in my life. I always knew I wanted robes to be a part of the gift, it was just a matter of finding the "right" ones. When I came across Doie Lounge robes, not only were the pictures gorgeous, but every one of the reviews were nothing but fantastic. I was sold. To top it off, working with Sara was effortless and enjoyable – she was responsive, so accommodating and helpful and simply, just pleasant!
And of course, the robes…those spoke for themselves! Everyone LOVED LOVED LOVEDDD the robes!!! They were all so happy to not have to worry about what to wear while getting ready and also to have such an incredible new robe they could wear after the wedding! They all couldn't get over how soft and comfy and pretty they are! Of course, I was very impressed and pleased as well. It is now a staple in my wardrobe and even came along with me on our honeymoon! The number of compliments I have received on the robes are countless (even based on pictures alone). I continue to recommend Sara to everyone I meet (bride or not)! Thank you so so much for everything!!

{Beautiful Robes For Beautiful Bridesmaids}
"I am SO happy I purchased these beautiful robes – they were the perfect gift for my bridesmaids! Sara was so incredible easy to work with and was so flexible. Everyone was in a panic about what to wear the morning of – tank top, short, yoga pants – but they were so happy to open these gifts the night before! I chose white for myself, and wanted a matching look for all my maids. I was so happy to find an almost identical, but slightly different robe for my maid of honor to wear – it helped her stand out!
The robes looked stunning in our photos, and were so unbelievably comfortable to wear all day. Not only were they super comfy, but they felt so luxurious! People have already begun asking where I bought them – I will be recommending these to brides left and right! Thank you Sara, for giving us the most beautiful, perfect bridesmaid gifts!"

{Ladies Who Lounge}
"The Doie robes were the perfect gift for my Bridesmaids. I was such a fan of them that I bought one for myself in white. These robes are beyond comfortable (the bamboo jersey is so soft) and also look very luxurious! The robes look much better in pictures than sweatpants/tank tops do!
The navy blue/pink color combo is my favorite. The robes were so nice to get ready in looked great in pictures! I would highly recommend these robes to any bride-to-be for herself and her Bridesmaids. I have actually received a few emails from soon-to-be brides asking where I got these robes. They are gifts that can actually be used for a long time and your friends/family members will always remember your special day when they wear their robes!
I wear mine all the time. I even brought it on my Honeymoon!
Thank you, Doie!"
~ Lindsey B., married October 15, 2011, New Hampshire

The two were married Saturday evening in an intimate celebration in front of 50 family and friends on a private estate in Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii, the actor's rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
Morrison wore a custom Brooks Brothers tuxedo for the occasion, while the bride wore a one-of-a-kind Gustavo gown with shoes specially designed by Emmy London.
Of course a Glee wedding would be incomplete without musical performances. Pianist Chad Whidden played for the crowd and soloist Kiley Dean sang "Feels Like Home" as Puente walked down the aisle.
Later on in the evening, Puente put on a special Hula performance for Morrison, and he then joined her in a couples version. The talented newlyweds ended their performances with a special duet together, singing Laura Benanti's "Starry Eyed/Video Games."
Kevin Covey Wedding and Events planned the affair, which featured food by Bev Gannon's Celebrations Catering – including a special dessert station made up of Morrison and Puente's favorite family recipes – and floral and décor by Inviting Occasion.
Photography was provided by Natalie Watson Photography and Watson Studios, and the videographer was Perryfield Films.
The Glee actor, 35, and the model, 31, have been dating since 2011. "An incredible night of LOVE @ejaf ball," Morrison Tweeted in June of the engagement. "I'm going to marry my best friend! Happy day for me and @Renee_Puente."

Best wishes to the newlyweds from the webmaster and everyone of the site visitors!!

Compounding pharmacies continue to face intense scrutiny over their drug preparation and lobbying habits after one in Massachusetts is suspected in distributing a steroid that led to a meningitis outbreak.
The Wall Street Journal: Pharmacies Fought Controls
How these firms escaped closer regulation shows how little happens in Washington absent an emergency. Top lawmakers and federal officials tried for years to increase regulation. A countereffort by the industry and a series of court decisions helped beat that back. Federal agencies debated about who should crack down on the industry. Lawmakers eventually abandoned their push after deciding the issue wasn't important enough (Burton, Grimaldi and Martin, 10/14).
The Boston Globe: A Close Look At Compounding Pharmacies
The New England Compounding Center, the pharmacy implicated in the infections, was apparently preparing drugs for bulk, nationwide distribution, raising questions about why it was not licensed and held to the standards of a manufacturer. But such broad distribution is not what most compounding pharmacies are set up to do. Instead, they predominantly serve a limited geographic region -- filling individual prescriptions for patients and often developing specialties based on the needs of their clients, pharmacists say (Johnson and Lazar, 10/15).
MPR: Pharmacies Under Scrutiny As Meningitis Outbreak Spreads
From a window positioned over his desk, longtime pharmacist Gary Carlson has a bird's-eye view of lab workers filling IV bags in the sterile production line of Fairview Compounding Pharmacy. At its busiest the Minneapolis facility can manufacture as many as 20,000 doses in a month of its most popular sterile drug, which it then distributes among the medical system's six hospitals and about 40 clinics (Benson, 10/15).
CQ HealthBeat: Energy And Commerce Opens Bipartisan Probe Of Fungal Meningitis Outbreak
Congressional interest in the chain of events that led to an outbreak of fungal meningitis is growing, with bipartisan leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee requesting a briefing with the owners of the compounding pharmacy at the center of the outbreak. They also wrote Friday to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy asking whether any action was taken after a 2004 inspection of the pharmacy by the state and the Food and Drug Administration found "significant violations" witnessed by investigators (Norman, 10/12).

Virtual reality is the wave of the gaming future, and Sony Playstation is aiming to become the leader with their latest innovation, "Project Morpheus," coming to the PS4 system.
Project Morpheus, or "Morpheus" for short, is giving developers the ability to create experiences and deliver worlds that fully immerse the players, and make them feel like they're actually inside the various gaming environments.
"At SCE we view innovation as an opportunity to build on our mission to push the boundaries of play," said the president of SCE Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida. "Project Morpheus is the latest example of innovation from SCE and we're looking forward to its continued development, and the games that will be created as development kits get into the hands of content creators."
So what will Morpheus include? The visor-style head mounted display will work with PlayStation Camera to bring the viewers right into the game, states PlayStation. The player's orientation and movement will be monitored by PlayStation Camera and inertial sensors, so when the player's head moves, the world will intuitively rotate in real-time. Also, certain supporting games will allow players to use a PlayStation Move Motion Controller as an object, like a weapon, which is something any gamer has dreamed about.
The player's aural experience will also be intuitive and natural, with sounds coming from front, back, left, right and stereoscopic sounds coming from below and above. The sounds will change depending on the movements of the player's head, completing the immersive experience.
Polygon also adds that the headset, which should eventually have a 1080p resolution display and an over-90 degree field of view, will come equipped to support custom headphones that fit directly into the unit and, most importantly, motion sickness – a common problem with virtual reality headsets before Project Morpheus – has been reduced. This is great news if you're one of those people who get sick in other immersive types of entertainment, like 3D films.
What do you think about playing in virtual reality? Let us know in the comments section below!

I'm looking for a bit of advice please.
I've been asked by my friend to do them a 3 tier cheesecake as their wedding cake (my first wedding cake and she's set the standard high by picking cheesecake!! Lol). Obviously fondant or any other form of icing wouldn't work so as I understand it I'm left with fruit or chocolate?
I've ordered some moulding chocolate but would like to know if this is the best option and does it set hard like flowerpaste does?
I would love to know your thought and ideas please

Child advocate found to be drunk prior to court testimony
A 70-year-old woman was arrested for because she was intoxicated the day she was supposed to testify as a court appointed special advocate.
Niegel Allen was a volunteer for East Central Indiana CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. The program helps kids who are in need of services. On Monday, Allen had a subpoena to testify at the Hancock County Courthouse, but the hearing was stopped.
"She was preparing to testify, when the attorney at the hearing noticed that….smelled an odor of alcohol in her breath," Hancock County Prosecutor, Michael Griffin said.
Griffin said Judge Richard Culver ordered the bailiff to give Allen a portable breathalyzer test. Griffin said the results were over the legal limit. Judge Culver said Allen should be taken to the Hancock County Jail. Griffin said she was given another test. Griffin said she did not pass. The results were .223, which was more than double the legal limit.
Allen was kept at the Hancock County Jail overnight. She was released Tuesday on her own recognizance. Griffin said Allen will not be charged with public intoxication because the recommendation made by the bailiff indicated the night in jail on contempt of court was enough. "She had not driven that day, which is one factor. Another is that in her interaction in court, she had not presented a danger to anyone so the only outward sign that had been noted was the odor on her breath and so under the circumstances she wasn't being unruly or disrespectful or causing any disturbance or any kind," Griffin said.
Allen volunteered for East Central Indiana C.A.S.A for several months, according to Griffin. The Executive Director of East Central Indiana CASA said they are aware of the situation and are handling it.
"We're processing this and staffing this internally with out executive board and we've been meeting and discussing that. I can assure you this has been and will continue to be addressed and handled appropriately," Annette Craycraft, Executive Director of East Central Indiana CASA said.
Allen is not affiliated with East Central Indiana CASA anymore. "Due to this being an internal confidential issue, there's really not a whole lot I can say right now," Craycraft said. "The safety and security of the children that we serve and hope to protect are of upmost importance to us," Craycraft continued. "We do everything we can to protect the children that we serve and advocate for and we also try to do the best we can and do good work in the community," she said.
Griffin said the situation was disappointing. "We want the public to have confidence about the court appointed special advocates. It's a wonderful program. The volunteers are great," he said. "In our community, we view this as an isolated incident and the CASA program remains strong and we're excited about having them continue to work in our courts," Griffin said.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Johnny Boychuk hopes to return to Bruins by next weekend
|11.12.10 at 1:16 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk, out since Oct. 23 with a fractured forearm, was one of only five Bruins to take the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Friday. He was joined by fellow rehabbing players Marco Sturm and Marc Savard, as well as goaltenders Tuukka Rask and Tim Thomas. It was the first time he has been able to shoot on goalies since the injury.
The prognosis for Boychuk's return was four weeks, and he hopes to still be on track for a return by the latter part of this month.
"Maybe. Hopefully. I hope so," Boychuk said when asked if he was optimistic he could return by next weekend. "That will be four weeks I think, so hopefully I'll be good to go."
Boychuk admitted that it's a matter of "just seeing whenever the doctor says I'm going to be OK to practice," and not trying to push it. He said he is still experiencing occasional pain, with taking pucks on the backhand the biggest issue for him.
With Boychuk out, Adam McQuaid has taken his spot on the roster. The Bruins have gone 4-2-1 over the seven game period that they've been without Boychuk.
"We've been playing really well, so it hasn't been too bad," Boychuk said. "Watching the games, you see when we're doing really well, it makes it a lot easier, but when we lose it's kind of tough to watch. You can't really do anything about it."
