Significant job growth in the healthcare industry is expected in Illinois, with job growth specific to sonographers expected to be 46% in the decade spanning 2012 to 2022.

Accreditation of a program or institution is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing your sonography program. The following ultrasound technician schools in Illinois have all been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), as of September, 2014:

Certification Requirements in Illinois
Illinois does not require certification to be an ultrasound technician. However, most employers require professional certification by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). The only way to earn certification is by taking and passing their exam. There are many locations throughout Illinois to take the exam, and you can find them on the ARDMS website at ardms.org, or by calling the testing company Pearson Vue at 1-877-258-9220.
The easiest way to qualify to sit for the exam is to graduate from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Otherwise, you'll need 12 months of full time clinical experience, which is not easy to get when you are not ARDMS certified. A bit of a catch-22, but a reality in today's working environment. Request information from several ultrasound technician schools in Illinois, and do the research to make sure that they meet the certification requirements you're looking for.

Ask yourself this question, fellas: If you're planning to see the exotic, half-Italian, half-Malaysian DJ Rap, are you coming to listen to what records she pulls off the rack or to ogle the one on her chest? Not that we're hatin' on her or anything. Hell, without her ample bosom leading the charge, we wouldn't have the current brigade of turntable babes (Sandra Collins, DJ Mea, Miss Lisa, to name a few) who've decided to use sex as a tool (or a weapon) to get audiences to pay attention to the music -- not the cleavage -- when they're behind the DJ decks. So if you show up, make sure it's for the right reasons.

It was announced this past week that Accenture has teamed up Girls Who Code to support technology careers for young women. A great friend of mine, Ellyn Shook, chief human resources officer, played a major role in this initiative. I would like to celebrate Ellyn this week, and the effort she put into advancing women in girls in the tech industry, a realm sorely in need of more women.
"Every day we provide more than 100,000 women working at Accenture with the tools and resources they need to develop their careers and be successful," Ellyn told Yahoo! Finance last week, "By bringing these capabilities to Girls Who Code, we hope to inspire and guide more young women to become technology leaders."
According to the same Yahoo! Finance article, Girls Who Code is a national non-profit organization with a goal to close the gender gap in the techshnology field. Through its Summer Immersion Program and Girls Who Code Clubs, the organization is leading a movement to inspire, educate, and equip young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.
Just 25 percent of women in the U.S. workforce hold jobs in the technical or computing fields. Accenture, with Ellyn and her team's help, is looking to increase this number. Ellyn is currently responsible for Accenture's talent strategies program, and in this role she leads a global team of human resource professionals responsible for recruiting, learning and development, compensation, benefits, equity programs, engagement and retention, and employee relations. She's a member of Accenture's Global Management Committee.
Thank you, Ellyn, for all of the work you do at Accenture. Thank you for inspiring girls to pursue their dreams. It's programs and partnerships like these that will help get women on boards in the future, and that can help close the gender gap for good.
Wednesday's Woman of the Week is a weekly feature. If you have any recommendations, please feel free to let me know on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SusanBulkeleyButler) or Twitter (@SusanBButler). I'd love to hear about the inspiring women in your life!
Brownie Wise doesn't just have a name you won't forget, but she created a business empire that has seamlessly integrated its way into American homes since the 1940s: Tupperware. While on the surface Wise fit the profile of the sterotypical proper housewife, she took her business to a multi-million dollar comapny with her keen sense of networking, drive, and her ability to work as a team with the women she employed.
Wise, a single mother and former sales representative for Stanley Home Products, founded both Tupperware and the "party plan" system of marketing that she used to take it from a startup business to a multi-million dollar company. She was the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week, and Sandra Bullock will star as her in an upcoming movie based on her life.
The first full year of Wise's CEO duties was 1952. Wholesale orders exceeded $2 million. During the last half of that year, that number tripled. Wise earned nearly $21,000 that year, which was the largest salary she had ever made. But Wise pushed further, traveling the country recruiting, leading sales conferences, and announcing prize incentives. She even gave away her own clothes, at times, for prize incentives.
Wise's business tactics reflect the sentiment that women need to work smarter by leveraging their networking skills, and that we can mentor each other and help one another move forward in our careers. Wise held Tupperware parties and invited women to not only buy the product, but to become Tupperware salespeople themselves. By late 1949 she had recruited 19 saleswomen, which was enough to grow her business from her home to a large warehouse. Growing her business organically, and by teaming up with other women, Wise attracted the attention of the founder of the Tupperware Corporation, Earl Silas Tupper.
Elsie Mortland, who was recruited at a Tupperware party and rose to become Tupperware's Home Kitchen Demonstrator, said in an interview: "No woman got praised for scrubbing floors. But when they got praised for selling Tupperware, they had something to be proud of."
Looking back at her career, Wise embodied the true spirit of a female entrepreneur. Her skills at incentivizing sales, networking and recruiting other women, publishing training materials like newsletters and infomercials, and becoming the face of her company solidified her as one of the greatest businesswomen and entrepreneurs of the 20th century.
Last night was a night of firsts. For starters, congress now has 100 women for the first time in U.S. history. Second, Elise Stefanik is one of those women, and she is the youngest woman ever elected to congress.
At age 30 Elise Stefanik won her race last night against Aaron Woolf in New York's 21st open district 56-32. She is the first Republican to win the district, which was previously held by Democratic Representative Bill Owens since 1993.
Stefanik has already received a lot of attention, and is quickly becoming the new face and image for the GOP. Her youth, energy and vitality is the GOP's ticket to appeal to younger demographics, and she is backed by supporters like House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Kevn McCartney, who campaigned for her on her trail.
But this is far from Stefanki's first forway into Washington politics. Previously she worked for the President George W. Bush administration on the Domestic Policy Council, where she oversaw both economic and domestic policty in the cheif of staff's office for Josh Bolten. She was also director of debate preparation during Paul Ryan's vice presidential campaign. In 2012 she helped write the Republican National COmmittee's platform.
Before Stefanik's win, the youngest elected Congresswoman was also a New Yorker: Elizabeth Holtzman, a Democrat, was elected to Congress in 1973 at age 31.
Regardless of your politics, who you voted for, or what your overall takeaway from the midterm elections were, there was a forward movement for women looking to pursue politics last night. Ironically enough, the message: yes we can.
Oprah hailed Spanx as one of her favorite products of the year in 2000. You might have a pair in your closet right now. But who do we have to thank for this revolutionary shapewear, and what can we learn from her as a successful woman in business? Sara Blakely is the world's youngest self-made female billionaire, and her future is looking brighter than ever.
Blakely's road to Spanx began in 1998, after being a door-to-door fax-machine salesman left her feeling frustrated with traditional women's fashions she felt confined by, like bunching pantyhose. In response she designed a slimming version that would lie in a more fitted way under pants, and Spanx was born.
Her product is for every woman - professionals, hollywood starlets, and housewives all covet her brand. She now leads a company valued at more than a billion dollars, with products sold in 60 countries, yet still sees herself mostly as an inventor. She said that she does most of her thinking in the car, even thinking up the name "Spanx" at a red light. She said she purposely extends her driving commute by an hour to think and get inspired.
But Blakely is not only inspiring herself. She is also helping to inspire millions of female entrepreneurs looking to break through the glass ceiling. She created the Sara Blakely Foundation, which has donated $24 million to support education and female entrepreneurship.
So in addition to Blakely's many business accomplishments, it becomes clear to see that one of her biggest accomplishments yet is what she is doing for countless women and girls who follow in her footsteps. In the same way that her product is designed with every woman in mind, she is also tailoring her actions to support women looking to make a difference.
One week from today, next Wednesday, October 29th, the Women's Media Center will be giving its 2014 awards to four women who are game-changers in the media. I would like to give them each a shout out tonight, Amma Asante, Ursula Burns, Katie Couric and Barbara Walters, as they prepare to collect their awards next week.
Amma Asante is receiving the Women's Media CENTER Directorial Excellence Award for Belle. Asante, a British writer-director, made a name for herself after the release of her critically acclaimed film, Belle, which is based on the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate, mixed-race daughter of Royal Navy Captain Sir John Lindsay. It is a brave film that brought to light the difficult questions about the discrimination women face, both in the period the film is set and now. Asante's brave depiction of Belle is helping us to ask the right questions about how far we as a society have come, and how far we still have to go toward reaching equality.
Ursula Burns is receiving the WMC Carol Jenkins Visible and Powerful Media Award. Ursula is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xerox Corporation. Burns is recognized at the first African-American woman CEO to head a Fortune 500 company, and the first woman to succeed another womas as head of a Fortune 500 company. This past year she was ranked by Forbes as the 22nd most powerful woman in the world.
Katie Couric is receiving the WMC Pat Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award. Her name alone has become iconic. Couric has been a television host on all "Big Three" television networks in the United States: NBC News from 1989-2006, CBS News from 2006-2011, and ABC News from then to present.
Barbara Walters is receiving the WMC Media Trailblazer Award. I gave the spotlight to Walters in May after the accouncment of her last day on The View, and with such a long legacy there is no question that Walters has earned this award. As a journalist and respected personality, Walters continues to be a wonderful example for women looking to make a change.
Though she has appeared in this feature once before, I thought it would be pertinent to recognize Malala again this week in light of her becoming the youngest person to win a Nobel Peace Prize, at age 17.
Malala was awarded the Peace Prize along with Kailash Satyarthi, for "their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education."
In her speech, Malala recognized Satyarthi and spoke about their backgrounds and what a great honor it is to share a prize with someone from India while she is Pakistani: "One is from Pakistan. One is from India. One believes in Hinduism. One strongly believes in Islam. And it gives a message to people. It gives a message to people of love between Pakistan and India and between different religions. And we both support each other. It does not matter what's the color of your skin, what language do you speak, what religion you believe in. It is that we should all consider each other as human beings."
Included in message Malala said that the respect we carry for one another should extend to fighting for rights for all human beings, including women and children. She is known around the world as a champion of women's rights, who stood up bravely against the Taliban to express her beliefs on the importance of education for women and children.
"The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born," she told the United Nations last year.
Winning the Nobel Peace Prize is sure to have an impact on education. Just days after the announcement of the winners Malala took to YouTube to motivate young women and girls in every country to do one hour of educational work, like coding. "You can do it," she encouraged, "Even if you don't have a computer."
Throughout my career and my life advocating for women's equality in the workplace, I've come to realize something: Gender equality for women cannot happen without men.
It was great to hear, then, about the new United Nations program HeForShe -- appropriately characterized as "a solidarity movement for gender quality."
Actress, women's rights activist and U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson introduced the HeForShe program to the world at a special event in New York last week.
"We want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality," Watson said. "And we don't just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible." Read the entire speech here.
As Watson declared at the U.N., she is a feminist. She is proud to stand up and say that, despite the fact that the word "feminist" can be "uncomfortable."
I, too, understand the uncomfortableness that comes with the word.
But I have decided I am a feminist.
In 1965, when I hired as the first woman professional at Arthur Andersen & Co., I didn't think of myself as a feminist. Early on, I had a job, and soon realized that I needed to concentrate on "my career." How was I going to be admitted to the Partnership?
Fortunately, I had male friends to focus me in the right direction for promotion and to help begin to bring about equality. I got my first job at Arthur Andersen thanks to the foresight of a male professor at Purdue and others who realized that getting the job done right didn't depend on gender. Fourteen years later, when I was named the first female partner of Andersen Consulting -- now known as Accenture -- it was also because of the forward-thinking actions of many male partners.
We've come a long way, but women's success still depends on men -- whether we like it or not. The fact of the matter is that, with men holding 95 percent of the CEO positions and about 85 percent of all executive positions Fortune 500 companies, women simply cannot advance without the support of the men who are currently in charge. Unless the men at the top of our organizations strategically decide that equality at the top is the right thing to do, it won't happen.
For real change, and in order to get more women in charge, today's CEO's (mostly men) must have a strategy to achieve equality for men and women. This is more than having a concerted effort to recruit women professionals. They must "create the pipeline" for women, to ensure there are ample women candidates for all leadership positions when they become available. And they must make sure there are sponsorship and mentoring programs for women to show them the way.
The U.N. isn't the first governmental body to recognize the importance of men in the gender equality equation. Australia's appointed Sex Discrimination Commissioner in 2010 established that country's Male Champions of Change collaboration to have the male leaders make significant and sustainable change in the number of women in leadership roles in Australian companies, government and society.
The 30% Coalition, a group I belong to, organized a Champions of Change program.These executives seek to promote gender diversity in the corporate boardroom. They are public advocates to encourage other leaders to support their mission... to enlist more men in top corporate positions to recruit and develop more women to fill board seats.
With the HeForShe program, the United Nations recognizes that gender equality is a human right, and that having women in leadership roles makes society better in a myriad of ways.
Smart businesses realize also that gender equality makes companies better in a myriad of ways too.
According to Catalyst's groundbreaking 2011 study, "The Bottom Line: Corporate Performance and Women's Representation on Boards," companies with three or more women board directors on average outperformed companies with zero women board directors -- by 84 percent when measured by return on sales and 60 percent when measured by return on invested capital.
This week's woman of the week is a real first. Her name is Maj. Mariam Al Mansouri, the first female fighter pilot in the United Arab Emirates' air force. She was also among the first women to graduate from the U.A.E.'s air force academy after it began to admit women, and this past Monday night she was the first to lead an airstrike.
On MSNBC's program "Morning Joe," ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba said of al-Mansouri: "She is a fully qualified, highly trained, combat-ready pilot and she led the mission."
Breaking down both gender barriers and gender stereotypes associated with conservative Islamic societies, Otaiba said that the debate over the role of women in society showed a "crucial difference in the divergent visions of moderates and extremists in the Muslim world," according to the New York Times.
al-Mansouri, 35, said she dreamed of becoming a pilot since high school, but had to wait until women were allowed to enter the air force academy. In the meantime she earned an undergraduate degree in English literature and worked for the armed forces in the capacity she was allowed to. In 2007 she graduated from Khalifa bin Zayed Air College, and she now flies the Block 60 model of the American-built F-16 fighter jet.
An Abu Dhabi newspaper, The National, wrote a profile on al-Mansouri in which she offered advice for any women aspiring to become a fighter pilot: "Be prepared, as it is a time- and effort-consuming field that requires a great deal of passion."
For many, the middle east is the last place one would expect a woman in a lead military role such as the one al-Mansouri currently serves. While the U.A.E. may still have obstacles in the realm of women's rights, al-Mansouri's role no doubt represents a positive step - one that the U.A.E. supports, as the government and fellow male pilots and trainers played a critical role in her rise to leadership. She is a testament to women's ability to shatter glass ceilings in any field, no matter where they are and no matter what their dream may be.
She's a familiar face who won us all over with her many roles on the silver screen, she was named a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador this past summer, and now that she has made her presence known she's ready to make it count.
Emma Watson delivered a speech this past Saturday, at a special event for the HeForSheCampaign at the United Nations Headquarters, on gender equality. Her words were so powerful they gripped the nation, and the speech went viral. Watson, 24, spoke eloquently and passionately about the misconceptions surrounding feminism, and explained that the HeForShe campaign's goal is to motivate men and boys to end gender inequality.
The speech's power speaks for itself. You can see the full transcript here, but these are a few of my favorite parts of her speech:
"We want to end gender inequality—and to do that we need everyone to be involved."

And finally, as I let her words sink in, I'll join her in echoing her sentiment of change: if not me, who? If not now, when?
A few weeks ago I chose my good friend Nina McLemore as my woman of the week, highlighting that female CEOs in the retail industry are few in number. So this week I would like to celebrate another female CEO who is making waves in the fashion world: Kathryn Bufano, the new CEO of Bon-Ton Stores Inc., who was also just hailed as the 52nd female CEO in theFortune 1000.
With Bufano on the Fortune 1000 list, the overall percentage of women has risen to an all-time high of 5 percent. The number is increasing, but we have a long way to go to get to 50 percent.
In reaction to her number 52 spot, Bufano told Fortune: "I heard there weren't a lot of women CEOs, but when I heard that number of 52 out of 1000 I was surprised by that. There are a lot of women business leaders and many of them run small businesses. I think it is just a matter of time before that number will grow. I am proud and excited for the opportunity to run a public company, but there is also a lot of private companies and small business that have a lot of women in leadership."
As one of just a small handful of women CEOs at major retailers in the U.S., Bufano joined Bon-Ton from Belk Inc., where she grew sales, fostered strong relationships with suppliers, and kept the merchandise on-trend and true to the brand. With this healthy list of credentials, all eyes have been on Bufano to duplicate her success for Bon-Ton: "We expect new CEO Kathy Bufano to successfully navigate [Bon-Ton] through the next leg of its turnaround. Ms. Bufano has a strong track record as President and Chief Merchant at Belk and we think her experience is very transferable, particularly her strong relationships with both moderate and better national brands," said David Glick, an analyst at Buckingham Research Group.

Camp Prepares Teens for Cybersecurity Careers
Addressing the need to inspire the best and brightest students to pursue careers in cybersecurity, the Maryland Cybersecurity Center and National CyberWatch Center K-12 Division held a new Cyber Defense Training Camp last week for 28 academically talented high school students from around the country.
The Cyber Defense Training Camp seeks to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals through interactive learning, skill building, guest speakers, and field trips. For seven days, participants explored pertinent cyber realms of knowledge and skill sets including cracking passwords, data theft, and spear phishing attacks.
"The camp is a no pressure learning environment, allowing participants to focus on what they really want to learn," said Cristin Caparotta, Camp Coordinator and Graduate Assistant with the Maryland Cybersecurity Center. "The students were constantly engaged and excited to learn more through fun activities and challenges."
Field trips to and meetings with representatives of the National Security Agency Cryptologic Museum and Lockheed Martin's NexGen Cyber Innovation and Technology Center (NCITE) exposed the exciting cybersecurity internship opportunities open to the participants in the state of Maryland.
Other guest speakers included Diane Miller, Director of Operations for Northrop Grumman's Cybersecurity Group and Program Director for the CyberPatriot competition; Lindsay Ladd, Information Systems Security Manager at Vistronix and Member of Women's Society of Cyberjutsu; Amy Ginther, Coordinator of Policy Development and Education, Project NEThics at the University of Maryland; and Alan Paller, Director of Research for the SANS Institute.
Living together in a community on campus and interacting with undergraduate cybersecurity students inspired many participants to think seriously about a cybersecurity academic path. Participants were exposed to the numerous University of Maryland cybersecurity programs, including the new Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students program, which launches this fall.
The Maryland Cybersecurity Center is dedicated to introducing the cybersecurity field to students early on, especially those who are interested in STEM and computer subjects. Camps and workshops are held throughout the year for students of all ages.
For more information, please contact Cristin Caparotta at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bodycentre Wellness Spa brings well-being back to bodies through treatments that range from nonsurgical cellulite reduction to laser teeth whitening. The spa's massage therapists listen receptively to client cues during therapies that may be tailored toward simple relaxation or enhanced with hot rocks, reflexology, or a hydrating herbal body wrap. Similarly customizable skincare treatments range from traditional facials with aromatherapy to photo-rejuvenation, which uses the healing power of light to stimulate collagen production in sun-damaged skin or aging vacation slides. For internal cleansing, clients can opt to schedule colon hydrotherapy sessions with an experienced practitioner or retreat into the privacy of a Health Mate dry sauna, crafted from Canadian cedar and equipped with amenities such as a CD sound system and reading lamp.
The aestheticians and health aficionados at Skin D' Amour foster total well-being by treating patrons with a holistic approach to beauty. To enhance the exterior, skin experts harness the power of their own line of products as well as formulas from brands such as Murad, Josephine, and EltaMD. Nail techs mollycoddle digits, and waxing techs leave skinscapes feeling smooth. To cleanse the body's insides, acupuncturists release clients' toxins; massage therapists reduce stress; and weight-loss experts dispense advice on how to shed pounds into thin air rather than onto the couch.
Skin D' Amour supplements its salon and spa services with a modest lineup of fitness classes. The center's squad of instructors lead group classes in tai chi, yoga meditation, Zumba, and more to help participants maintain their look and feel through consistent, healthy habits.
Thanks to its recent remodel, one might be surprised to hear that the salon and spa known as Christopher Stephens has pampered clients with personalized beauty treatments for the past 15 years. The salon's stylists draw on the experience amassed in that period to add length and definition to manes with 100% human-hair extensions and bioionic straightening tools. Not to be outdone, the aestheticians brighten complexions with seven types of facials and bronze skin with UV-free airbrush-tanning solutions. Whether styling hair or scraping off the sticky remnants of a nightly cocoon, Christopher Stephens's staff members pride themselves on using professional beauty products from brands such as OPI, Keratin Complex, and BareMinerals.
Tomii Massage and Wellness offers much more that just a relaxing massage. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other holistic methods, they literally massage the wellness right into you! After a brief qi analysis using some fancy machine, they get right to work unblocking your qi pathways, strengthening you against many common illnesses such as diabetes 2, prostatitis, high blood pressure, Insomnia, chronic pain, you name it! All Tomii therapists are trained in acupoint massage, swedish deep tissue massage, backwalking, cupping, hot stone massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, herbal therapy, and more. Visit Tomii and get started on your Pathway to Wellness.
Inside The Skin Spa & Wellness Center's cozy boutique atmosphere, massage therapists and aestheticians pluck products from around the world to soothe individual complaints. Aestheticians pamper fa?ades with mud imported from Italy or exfoliate dry skin with Hungarian salt. During massage services, aromatherapy hailing from France sends nose receptors on exotic vacations. To reap the full benefits of each facial, waxing, or body service, the staff recommends booking services in advance to block out a time slot and ensure unhurried, leisurely service.
Living Life Medspa's medical director, Dr. John O. Dimowo, performs health and beauty procedures using advanced training in a wide variety of medical specialties. In addition to being board certified in both anesthesiology and pain medicine, Dr. Dimowo is a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. He is also an acupuncturist, a cardiovascular anesthesiologist, and was recently trained in the use of 3-D/4-D neonatal echocardiography.
Dr. Dimowo is one of the few qualified surgeons in the Inland Empire to use SmartLipo technology to help patients reach their body-contouring goals. To combat signs of aging, he employs infrared-light-based Titan treatments and cosmetic injectables. His team also specializes in massage therapy and aesthetic services such as facials, peels, and eyelash-enhancing treatments, which add volume without the need for mascara or tiny bicycle pumps.

Mass. woman to admit to identity fraud in Salem shopping spree
The shopping trips began around Oct. 12, 2012, and ended with her arrest Oct. 23, 2012, by Salem police.
Prosecutors say Couture tried to spend thousands of dollars on the West Virginia victim's credit card, and had photo identifications aiding her with impersonating four other victims living in Florida, Maryland and Missouri.
That same day, Couture tried to obtain fraudulent credit accounts at JCPenney and T.J. Maxx, according to indictments. Couture was able to make purchases at the T.J. Maxx store after successfully getting a credit account there, prosecutors said.
Police ultimately tracked down Couture using store security footage of the vehicle she traveled in during the various shopping trips.

Being new to anything anal and wanting to try prostate massage, both for the pleasure and the health reasons; I was a little nervous about using this item.
This was in part due to having tried another brand of massager that was, frankly, badly shaped, and to my mind could cause injury.
So it was with absolute surprise and a wow that I found this item to be absolutely superb to use.
Following the instructions for insertion, using plenty of anal lube, and wow - it went in like a dream and hit the spot immediately!
Remove it the same way as you insert it and you will find that the snug tight fit gives way to a gentle exit.
I am going to need several sessions with this to achieve the pleasure that so many have reported when using this item, and certainly the experience I have had so far promises to improve on every session.
Having a medication-induced problem with ejaculations and erections, this item is nevertheless providing me with the sensations and pleasure I have missed for a long time.
- Pros
- Smoothness of the silicone and no seems that can be felt.
- Cons
- Absolutely nothing!
- Bottom line
- Superb product and great for a beginner such as myself.

A prostate massager which really works
Reviewed: 01 November 2014 by SomeGuy, a Straight Single Male
I've previously tried the original Helix, but found the perineum tab very hard (to the point of painful) and insertion/removal unpleasant due to the rigidity of the material. Both of these distracted from the prostate sensations, so apart from the raging erection (due to pressure on the prostate) and slightly enhanced normal orgasm, it was a bust.
The Helix Syn, on the other hand, is pure pleasure.
Like the original Helix, it's packaged smartly and comes with basic instructions.
The moment you look at the Syn, you notice the difference. And when you feel it, they are worlds apart. The Syn is covered in a soft (it's still very firm, but soft to the touch) and smooth silicone. The perineum tab also has a coating and moves much more freely (still applies pressure). This is massively different to the original, which is hard and had a harsh (for me at least) perineum tab.
Insertion is the same (always use lots of a good lube). Relax, massage it in half way and it does the rest. Due to the silicone covering, any lubricant holds onto the toy better and the soft covering is much more welcome.
Once in position, the silicone really shines. It is a much more delicate and enjoyable feeling against the prostate. The movement in the perineum tab allows the massager to move easily and smoothly, while still giving it something to pivot against.
Within 30 minutes or so, the massager did something amazing. I was having waves of pleasure. Best of all, it was doing all the work itself. I had about 10 minutes of amazing feelings before I gave in and stimulated myself manually to traditional orgasm. I've never seen so much pre-cum and cum from my penis ever. Hell if I had seen it on a video I wouldn't have believed it.
I had touched upon the wow feeling with the original, but it had never been for more then a few seconds at a time.
I've still got a way to go into I achieve the Super O, but damn, if so far is anything to go by it's going to be one enjoyable road.
- Pros
- Soft. Hits the spot. Better the original in every way.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A prostate massager which really works.

Premium Prostate Massager
Reviewed: 18 October 2014 by PlayNaked
Before I purchased this item, I did a lot of research to find a suitable product for my introduction into prostate massage. The price tag did make me question if it would be worth it, but I wasn't disappointed when it arrived.
As always, Lovehoney packs the items really well in discreet packaging and delivery is nice and quick. The packaging for the product is that of a quality premium product, which is exactly what the Aneros Helix Syn Silicone Prostate Massager is. Opening the box, you are invited to pick up and feel the toy which has a soft touch and firm if you squeeze it.
As this was my first prostate massage experience, I wasn't fully sure how it would feel for me, but I was looking forward to experimenting with it.
After applying a lot of water-based anal lubricant, I found it easy to insert as I was relaxed, which is important. It positioned itself inside and didn't feel uncomfortable.
You get the best from it by taking your time and enjoy the feeling as you are making anal contractions.
- Pros
- Packaging, the feel and size of it.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Premium quality prostate massager that can give you a fantastic experience.

I've been brewing beer for a while now but wanted to brew a root beer. Any good places to start reading up on it? Any tips? Recipes? Any info helps.
I myself have only used extract and force carbonate with kegs. I like Zatarains extract. Its really cheap. You might be able to find in walmart. You can play around with different types of sugar like Brown sugar and honey. Also you can spice them up with vanilla extract or cinammon,etc.
5 gallons- 2lbs White table sugar 2lbs Dark Brown sugar 1lb Clover Honey 1 bottle extract of Zatarains. I just melt the sugars down in gallon of water then mix and force carbonate.
I have tried Dr Watkins extract and it was not that good and also overpriced
if you do you use Dr watkins you would probably need 4- 2oz bottles for 5 gallons
I've tried just about every root beer extract on the planet, along with just about every recipe with different combinations of sweeteners and ingredients to make what I consider to be a good root beer. All have fallen short of my expectations until I discovered Sprecher's root beer syrup! It does have a preservative in it that will only allow you to force carbonate it as the preservative would kill any yeast that you would add to carb in bottles, but it's the best tasting, most authentic (to me) root beer that I've ever had!
You can order it from most of the home brew suppliers on the web, but it's a little pricey coming from them. You can save a little by buying it directly from The Sprecher's Brewery Gift Shop. You simply add the one gallon of syrup to 4 gallons of water in a keg and then put it on the gas for a couple of weeks and you're good to go. To speed things up, as CO2 takes more time to go into solution when added to a sugary mixture, I like to carbonate the plain water in the keg for a few days before I add the syrup. It works great, tastes great and the kids absolutely love it!
I even bought one of their ceramic tap handles with my last order, which is due to arrive this very day!
Gentlemen prefer blondes, real men prefer stouts.Horn & MugPrimary: Mooseberry Porter, JOAM, Hobo Cider, County USA Irish Red
I was in the same boat as you. Did a lot of online research and kind of came up with my own thing. I did not like the extract I used so I got all my roots and went to town. I have made 4 different batches and all are very nice, more of an old world root beer than lets say A&W.... I do not have what I need to force carb as I am looking for the gear to do it. I used ale yeas to carb my beer. A lot of people say to just bottle ASAP but I have had nice results with letting the root beer ferment for 12 hour befor bottling. I like using the yeast I feel it gives it a certain flavor that you don't get for for e cab. Plus the start up for a basic used system is about $200-$250 so I go with yeast for now... Also a lot of people say NEVER to use glass bottles because they will explode a case death and destruction to you and your family. But I will go on the record that over the last 2 month I have bottled over 100 bottles of root beer and not one has blow up on me, but I guess it happens so be carefully ether way. And if you do use glass fill up at least one plastic bottle so you can use that a way to tell when your ready to cold crash. When the bottle is hard throw them in the fridge.

Supreme Court to decide if Iran can be sued over Canadian Zahra Kazemi's murder
The Supreme Court of Canada will decide whether the son of the murdered Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi can sue the Iranian government.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA—The Supreme Court of Canada will decide whether the son of the murdered Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi can sue the Iranian government.
The high court has agreed to hear an appeal from Kazemi's son Stephan Hashemi, who argues he has the right to sue the Iranian government for allegedly killing his mother and failing to return her body after she was imprisoned.
As per its custom, the court gave no reasons for granting his request for leave to appeal.
But the case will once undoubtedly ratchet up the rhetoric surrounding shattered diplomatic relations between Canada and Iran.
In 2003, Kazemi, a Canadian citizen who was born in Iran, was taking pictures of protesters in Tehran, which prompted authorities to arrest her. Kazemi was detained, tortured and raped in Tehran's notorious Evin prison.
Kazemi later died in the hospital to which her jailers transferred her.
The emergency room physician who treated Kazemi in hospital shortly before her death has since sought asylum in Canada.
He has since spoken publicly, in graphic detail, of the head-to-toe physical injuries that the 54-year-old woman brought with her to his hospital ward from prison.
Hashemi filed a civil suit against the Iranian government on her estate's behalf and on his own, seeking damages.
He has waged a tireless campaign to have his mother's body returned to Canada. She was buried in Iran shortly after her death.
The Iranian government had successfully argued before lower courts that it was immune from prosecution.
Hashemi's lawyers argued that if that was true, the State Immunity Act was a violation of his rights.
The Kazemi case has been a major irritant in the breakdown of Canadian relations with Iran.
The lawsuit names the Islamic Republic of Iran; its leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; former Tehran prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi; and prison official Mohammad Bakhshi.
Mortazavi — nicknamed "Butcher of Journalists" — was Tehran's prosecutor general in 2003, and responsible for signing off on Kazemi's detention.
