All submissive's, this is a partial clip of scene. It will your breath away… I've watch video in total and the girl is interviewed before and after and she is a professional and so is her Dom… So she's never hurt in video. You will find yourself wanting to watch this scene over and over, maybe not today but you will want it! LOL!
The whole video does portray a full scene. You may not be ready for this intensity yet but you'll get there. Me, however, I am ready and this is what I'm working toward this next phase. I did attach whole video at the bottom of post…. I do advise watching it several times with your Dom, It will help teach your Dom some a little swag as well…
You can get on and look up instructional dry directions on how to achieve a squirting "O", but, I want to tell you what works for me and hopefully what can help you. Remember all our bodies are different so get the basics down then "work what your ma-ma gave you!" LOL!
**Warning…. It may take several tries… be patient… IT'S SOOO WORTH IT!
Tools : Have lube & your vibrating wand handy… If it has a cord…get an extension cord. Nothing worse then trying to use a wand with a short cord while achieving a wet orgasm… LOL!
Squirting orgasms usually originate from rubbing your G Spot, internally. You can have them just with clitoral stimulation or Anal sex. I advise that, starting out, you should first try some slow and steady stimulation by focusing mainly on the outside of your vagina, around you labia and clit. Try 15-20 minutes, bringing yourself right up to the point of orgasm without actually going over the edge and coming. At any point your Sir can penetrate you either with his penis or fingers (G-SPOT), try not to orgasm… It's ok though if you do… just start over with stimulation to get you to the edge again… His thrusts should be more like an oceans wave… steady deep motions. I know he's excited but keep it slow… Now add that wand….Vibrate your clit. Keep him slow and steady. ***You over achievers or experienced subs can …probably already have added an anal plug… adds to the sensation. If your trying this the first time, keep it simple…. You May need him to use his fingers internally and rub your G-Spot. Like Picture below… It will feel like a burning sensation or like your bladder is being pushed on. Then add vibration from wand. This vibration may make you bare down… that's fine.. When I squirt I bare down… So practice as you go, relax and bare down. It will feel like you're opening yourself up inside. Most important to relax and let your Dom take you further past those initial peeing sensations. Really Important*** Make sure he withdraws from your vagina so you can squirt… Hard to do if he is till inside. :0)
I forgot to add the bondage elements into the scene but you can look at video and see that having your Sir bind your wrists would be a great starting point. This can be as simple as using a clip and clipping your cuffs together in front of you or behind you.
This is the "come hither " move…..
( )o
PS…. Here's the whole video… A complete scene. Get your Dom and enjoy!

Good Luck Girl!

Now is a wand required or can you just use a vibrator? I know I read fingers work too in your post.
Try and see what works for you… Have fun with it…
Well, then. It would appear I need a wand, urgently.
ME TOO shygirl!
I'm still very concerned about the mess, and Sir's reaction. I know, I need to talk to Him…but….what if he's totally squicked out by it or something??
I would suggest watching this video….the short version first, with him. Gauge his reaction. I don't think it will be what you fear it to be. You could have some research links about the subject ready to go if he has any questions. If hes goes crazy with lust, watch the second, longer one! And go from there! I totally get your reservations! I was weirded out at first, but I had never heard of such a thing before! He however, we talked about it and he showed me some info, and its been his mission ever since to make me weak in the knees, and everywhere else using his magic powers!
BTW…I've never squirted as much as the girl in the vid, but I do make a mess! Towels….towels…towels…have them ready! We have a stack of towels just for this! Need to get one of those blankets though!
shygirl says :
Thank you. I'm not sure why THIS is where I have some weird hangup about talking to my Husband about sex. You're right…this video will be a good starting point. :/
Little Kaninchen says :
Be honest and open… Tell him you would like to try… Put on some sexy music… Go to it girl!
Good luck.. Email any questions!
Little Kaninchen says :
Great Advise Girl!
Well…. I'm guessing that if he makes you do this that he will be very proud of himself…
Walk around with his chest puffed out for a few days. I would advise you to ask him if he's ever seen a girl squirt before…. See what he says… Then ask him if he would like to see you do it…
Ask if he would like to help you do it. Communication! Tell him you would like to do it. First couple times it wont be a lot of liquid. I'm excited for you.
Brook Stone… Go Now!
Proof is in the Pudding!
Yes ma'am! I will tell my Sir! I've been waiting for him to get one or tell me to get one!
Livingsocial.com has a deal…$25 for $50 @ brookstone! Do you have the cordless wand? I certainly don't want to get the wrong one.
Girl… Go to Brook Stone and grab one tonight!
Oh my goodness! I thought I was a squirter!
Its amazing… I've noticed it gets more and more… Flash Flood Alert at this point!

I believe that LK would have given this girl a run for her money this morning…
Mr. Fox
I will take that as a compliment, Sir…. Now I'm blushing! LOL!

We'll Sir I guess the plastic will come to be very handy indeed.
Got this one
We will put it to good use!
Thank you!

This was on my "wishlist" When it happened for me I was almost shocked! I think a helpful tip for me was to relax as much as possible (I know that seems impossible!) Taking a deep breath when it starts building up helped me cum with that "bearing down" feeling.
Great advise girl!m
Hey girl… How are you doing?
littlekeiko says : Log in to Reply
Uh wow, 1st thought… that's a LOT of liquid… 2nd thought… I want that too eventually. Does she squirt more than the average person does?? How many towels do you girls usually use? Sounds like lots of extra laundry.. that orgasm better be worth it I read the comments about the wands, we recently got one and it is SO worth it!! I definitely recommend it as well.
I started out less liquid but now I can do what she does… You learn your body and your husDom will to… So he may repeat those actions over and over until all your fluids are depleted. Lol! It becomes their favorite toy… Lol!
Waterproof blanket!
You'll find your way! Lol!
NsK says : Log in to Reply
A wand will be in my list. Not really in the cards at the moment…. However, I do believe that I was very close to success last night anyway. Going to continue to practice (I'm okay with that! )
Keep practicing…
It's so much fun to practice!
Mel. says : Log in to Reply
I'm with you all in spirit, sisters. This one is far too kinky for my Sir, but it looks like a "fountain of fun"!! Maybe in the distant future!!
DD says : Log in to Reply
LK–Do you routinely go at it from this position? And do you need vaginal penetration (or other?) to help it along? For me it's having simultaneous V and Clitoral that does it… All my squirting to day has happened with me reclining… and most often from self-stimulation and very inquisitive lovers (never with DH, sadly, hopefully some day). And for those asking… some of us only give off a modest squirt, and not gushers like this one. I don't know if it changes the intensity to squirt more… but I will have to say that huge amount is daunting! HusDom is quite evolved to be cool with this, I think! And I like my cordless Viberite wand ALOT!! The Lelo has died after only 4 months and not that much use… anyone every return one of these? I'm ticked cuz it was expensive.

Damn, little K. This got me all worked up, to say the least! xoxo
I know… The first few times I saw this…. Seeing her ties curl up… I about came out of my skin…Lol!
[…] not convinced? Just watch the Hitachi in action in LK's Squirting Post. No battery powered toy is EVER going to have that […]
[…] been plotting and planning to introduce this concept into our play. And then LK did her post on squirting orgasms and that was it, my Sir was on a mission! These were his inspirations for the scene, though he […]
HOT!!! Congrats!
Makes me hungry!
Hope your making small lakes and ponds by now!
Reposted this because I've gotten a lot of requests asking where it was… Here you go! Good Luck Subs!
( )o
Lk, This is video is working very well! Now I want to wake my Sir and hand him the wand….this is torture sitting here testing this to make sure it works. UGH!
Go girl… LK

Does anyone know where to get written instructions on how to obtain this?
There's instructions on my post… Otherwise google squirting orgasm and there's lots of instructional info… Good luck!
Little Bo Peep says : Log in to Reply
I just had the time to look at the first clip but I hada very similar scene on Monday! Sir added spanking beforehand though. And I had to remain on all fours. I do like the chair and the tiedowns. We have a different wand but I'm going to be getting one just like the one that's in the video very soon. And a mattress cover since ours was soaked after this. I can't wait to see the rest of the video!!
It's intense if you're just starting out but I think my Sir said that you said your Sir is very seasoned in this arena.. I believe… :O)
SO go for it!
i wish i could squirt i can cum no problem, but i thought squirting was a matter of you can or you cant. Ok gonna read the posts now.
hmm i remember my Sir was giving me oral & He said i squirted a little bit, i thought he was over exaggerating but i guess i have once. i hope He remembers exactly what it was He did that day i would love to again. He does make puddles under my bottom when giving me oral & gives me an orgasm but no squirting. ive wanted to squirt for it seems like forever, now that i know we can practice to achieve it im really happy, so excited to talk to Sir about it when he gets home from work.
Wow so i researched it & i think i can totally do it, i would practice right now & almost started but im pregnant & i dont know if it will hurt the baby…:-/ anyone know? i'll probably stick to the safe side though and wait till the baby is born though either way.
Wow… Congrats girl! When are you do? I would wait to, if I were you.

First of all, congrats! The first time LK posted this, I was (very) pregnant as well. It is not easy finding reliable information on these kinds of things as they are related to pregnancy. My "philosophy" was that if I was comfortable doing it, then I did it. This was one of the very few things that I thought it was better to wait. I doubt that it would hurt the baby at all, but I felt better erring of the side of caution with this one.
There are ton of things that you can do normally you can do during pregnancy if you are low risk and your doctor hasn't put any restrictions on you. That being said, there are some areas where caution is required and you do need to be in tune with your body. If something doesn't feel right, your best bet is to either stop and take a break or switch gears to something different.
Congratulations Lady! I wish you and the baby well and I agree with Nsk that you need to be in-tuned with your own body and that you should be careful on what you do….it also depends on what stage of your pregnancy you are in. There so many other things you and your Sir can do while your pregnant and you can save this for after to celebrate the birth of your child when you are all set to play again with out caution. It would be a great way to say I'm BACK!
Nskay says : Log in to Reply
I posted this in the forum, but thought I would mention it on this post too… Major success for me in this department! The unfortunate part is that I was by myself when I achieved it. However, now that I know exactly what I need to do, recreating it will not be a problem in the slightest
Practice makes perfect. You have it correct…get to know your body and how it works. Congrats girl!
Let me know how it goes with your Sir!

For those of you who can give her a run, does volume equate to pleasure?
Would love to be able to do THAT.
The volume has seemed to increase over time… You learn to work your body….
The pleasure is always good!
babygirl says : Log in to Reply
Hi all. I recommend the Liberator fascinator throe it can hold a bucket…
I have that throw…. It's 100+ dollars but worth every penny. My first one lasted two years of squirting and play…. Many washes! Just got my second and they have improved it. I love mine!

Is there supposed to be a video attached to the post? I see a few blank spots but no video – just the first pic.
Not sure if I'm missing something, or if something is just now missing…?

LK, thank you for the written information. I will certainly pass this on to Sir. <3

Hudson (at the Raising Helen premiere in L.A.) shed the reported 60 lbs. she gained while pregnant thanks to a mix of interval training, weights and Pilates, along with a low-carb, high-protein diet. "I can't begin to describe how hard she worked," says strength coach Joseph Horrigan. "Kate trained like an elite athlete."

- Romantic Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/15/20141741 Terrace at Hotel Bethlehem was the perfect place for our romantic anniversary dinner. Each course was amazing; the pork tenderloin and Alaskan char were exquisite and perfectly cooked. The service was impeccable and we were made to feel special during out entire dinner. We had a gorgeous view of downtown Bethlehem's Main Street. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed every course!EighttwentyoneDined on 11/15/2014Our night began with much conversation. Our server ( Julia?) was patient while we made our dinner selections. We ended up keeping the menus at the table so we could browse casually for each course...never feeling rushed ( but we were attended to promptly as needed) as we planned on dining over several hours. Our selections included Oysters, Squash soup, Spinach salad, Shrimp cocktail, Lamb entre, and Salmon entre. All served at the perfect temp and delicious as always. Chose the Almond cake with ice cream on the side for dessert, a wonderful finish. Paul's piano music is perfect for the room. It's refreshing to watch and listen to someone who is really giving his best - love his musical selections and style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1741 Terrace only okDeesDined on 10/25/2014We expected a high-end restaurant, and got decent ambience, decent but not great food, and fair service (didn't see our server very often, had to be assisted by others in the restaurant beyond our server). The location is good, the dining room is nice but not incredible. The food was ok, but not as good as many steak/seafood restaurants and was of an equal price. The service was not nearly good as a nice steak/seafood restaurant.
- great restaurantJosieDined on 10/25/20141741 terrace is located inside beautiful Hotel Bethlehem in the most lovely, quaint area of Bethlehem. The restaurant it self was great overall we had reservations at 6:15 they sat us right away the server was polite, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was excellent! My only complaint was we felt very rushed everything came out extremely fast and the table cleared, check ready all in about one hour, no time to waste. I guess they were rushing us for the next reservation although every table was not yet occupied. I must say it was a bit pricey, but worth it. If only we were able to enjoy it for a bit longer!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fine dining , music by paul BrazzoLilybelle76Dined on 10/17/2014We are always treated well by the staff and enjoy the quality of the food at the 1741 Terrace. In addition , the restaurant's pianist, Paul Brazzo, is wonderful. His background music , subtle sophisticated and beautiful, yet never overpowering the dining experience, is a great mix of different styles. We will return again just to hear him play.Thank you for the fine dining and entertainment in historic Bethlehem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/13/2014food and the facility were very good. the service level was poor.Special Features:
- Very romanticSpiritkittyDined on 10/7/2014An enjoyable evening for celebration of our 25 year anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our 30th Anniversary DinnerNickDined on 10/6/2014We choose the 1741 Terrace for our 30th Wedding anniversary dinner and we are so glad that we did. The food & especially the service were second to none. Thank you for a truly great dining experience. It will be the anniversary dinner my wife & I will not soon forget.Special Features:
- Entrees did not match ambiencetastingmenyouDined on 9/27/2014Was disappointed: they ran out of the beef stew, and so we had to order other entrees . The Pocono trout was so-so as was the duck, not tender enough and corned beef was very small in portion. The piano music was great, wait staff good, but when it comes down to it the food was lacking in appeal. Although the potato leek soup was a winner.Special Features:
- Don't Go on Celtic Weekend.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/27/2014We went on Saturday night at 7PM , the Celtic Weekend when reported 200,000 visitors are at Bethlehem.We could not reach Hotel Bethlehem directly for all the streets were blocked off from auto traffic and all the parking garages full.The Food was good but not great,especially for the cost,$45 for lamb chops.We had to wait at least 30 minutes between the first course and the Entrees which were Luke warm ,not hot from the kitchen.The waitress was outstanding,knowledgeable about menu,especially about wines,and a good sport trying to work with very slow kitchen.1741 room is visual pleasure and unique. Would we return when there are less visitors in Bethlehem , considering the expensive of menu, and give the chef another chance,probably not.
- Celtic Fest weekend 👍EighttwentyoneDined on 9/27/2014Four of us dined here during Celtic Fest weekend. The hotel staff expertly managed the extra activity, you could see they were operating on all thrusters! The restaurant was full, but not much turnover that night. We were there a long time because we love to enjoy the piano player ( Paul has a unique style and a beautiful execution); maybe this is what other patrons were doing as well. I never feel rushed to leave. When one at our table did not like what was ordered, it was removed from the bill, and a delicious replacement was given. The Salmon dish is my favorite. Looking forward to trying the Fall menu in October. A lovely evening as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A special placeScottHVIPDined on 9/20/2014We frequent the hotel, but only visit 1741 once a year. Even though chefs have changed over the years, the food remains consistantly great. Sea Bass, veal and steaks were all just about perfect. Service was top notch. Stephanie proved to be about the most knowledgable server we've ever had. She knew the cheeses in the appetizer, the wines on the wine list and every ingredient in Kelly's signature drinks. Highly recommended.Special Features:

- Historic Gem22getawayDined on 8/31/2014We enjoyed a delicious dinner at 1741 Terrace to celebrate our 39th anniversary. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The NY strip steak was juicy and cooked perfectly and the mahi mahi was moist and flavorful. We look forward to returning during the holidays.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerLuluDined on 8/22/2014We chose the Hotel Bethlehem for our 33rd anniversary dinner because it overlooked the Moravian Church where we were married. We had an early seating and the hostess allowed us to choose any table, so we were able to accomplish our primary goal. The service and food were exceptional. My husband says it was the best salmon he ever had! I think it was one of the best waitresses we ever had. As an alum, I also loved the PSU creamery opening that day. Lots of wonderful memories all evening. Highly recommended!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/26/2014The ambiance is very nice. There are large windows that overlook historic Bethlehem and it is spacious. The service was very accommodating, friendly, and efficient. The food is delicious and the menu was varied enough to offer something for most food enthusiasts. My one and only complaint would be that the portion size to cost ratio is VERY off. This is coming from someone who had gastric bypass surgery. Half the time, I leave restaurants with enough food left for three meals and this time, I actually left somewhat hungry! Unfortunately, due to this, I would not go back. This is a shame because otherwise, it was a nice experience!Special Features:
- Nice view but nothing to offer.BUCKEYEYANKEEDined on 7/12/2014I thought was food was okay nothing great. It was not worth the price to pay for a steak and the spinach salad was okay. Service was okay but again when you pay $36 dollars for a steak, you should get exceptional service from the staff. I have had a lot better cuisine in other restaurants down South than 1741 Terrace.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/10/2014this was our first time at the Hotel, everything was great, our waiter that night was very informative of the hotel and the history of the area. The food was top notch and presented with a flair. The background music coming from the Tap Room was enjoyable. Yes we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No thanksRobbieMDined on 7/5/2014There's a difference between historic and outdated. The building is historic. The menu is hopelessly outdated. On a Saturday night, the Terrace looked like the dining hall at a nursing home... what few people were there. The menu? Zzz...zzz....zzz... Drinks were small and VERY overpriced. $12 for a pint of stout? This isn't Times Square. Both our meals were way overlooked. Well done steak and duck breast when we asked for medium rare. How do you mess that up? Roasted fingerling potatoes were bland and not very "roasted". The lobster bisque and French onion were actually very good, but for $12 French Onion should be mind blowing. Shame... I'm a lifelong local, so I want my local restaurants to succeed... Nice view, at least.Special Features:

- New Seasonal MenuSkyPADined on 6/16/2014The Hotel has hired a new James Beard chef who is now providing seasonal menus along with restaurant classics. He has demonstrated a desire to not lure new patrons at cost of loyal patrons. The duck was the best I have had in sometime and the Halibut cooked perfectly. Each of the menu items as explained by Chef Michael is cooked simply to perfection without the desire for bold flavors at the expense of technique as so many "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" do. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good but not greatsstew5520Dined on 6/9/2014Granted, it was a Monday night, but the place was dead. There was one other couple there. Our server was great and very attentive, but she didn't have anything else to do. The menu selection was limited. I got the filet and my wife got the duck. I have had better filets at Shula's and the Stone Bar. It tasted a bit gamey. My wife's duck was dry and there was not much there. We got the carrot cake for dessert and it was good. I doubt if I would return.Special Features:

- Lovely AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 5/24/2014My husband and I decided to spend our 35th wedding anniversary at the Hotel Bethlehem. Once we had arrived we made reservations to eat in the 1741 Terrace. We were seated promptly and a nice table overlooking the street and the views of the hills. Our waiter, Zack, provided exceptional service throughout the evening. He made every attempt to make sure we were will served. Our dinners were delicious, lamb chops and salmon. I asked for a wine recommendation and the red was just perfect! We were even visited by the manager and all in all we had a lovely experience. We would certainly recommend the 1741 Terrace to anyone for a lovely dinner.Special Features:

- Beautiful View/ Horrible MenuBethlehemgirl75Dined on 5/2/2014I was so excited to find out that my boyfriend reserved a tale at Hotel Bethlehem for our anniversary. The restaurant itself is beautiful and offers a spectacular view but the menu could use some improving. There are a lot of fish selections but not much of anything else. One chicken and one steak offering, no pasta. The appetizer choices were also awful. We were so disappointed we walked out.Special Features:

- Disappointing ServiceNewYorkLuVIPDined on 4/12/2014My wife and I spent a weekend at the hotel and decided to have dinner and Sunday brunch at the hotel. All the reviews I read set the bar high for this grand old establishment. The food was perfect and well prepared but the service ruined our evening. It took more than 30 minutes after clearing the table of the first course disches before our entrees came out with our waiter no where to be found. When he reappeared we asked about our food and he said he was sorry it was taking so long (so were we). When he finally arrived with our main course he said the delay was due to the fact that there was a new executive chef, then a new process in the kitchen. He sounded like a schoolboy caught in a lie. No service recovery was offered.
- Unexpected gemFoodie2323Dined on 3/29/2014We are from Harrisburg Area and needed dinner before Jim Gaffigan show at The Sands. Dinner was top-notch. Even though it was a rainy night, we enjoyed our window seat overlooking the gorgeous downtown Bethlehem area. So beautiful with all of its 17th century buildings. The food would please any Foodie. And service was excellent, with brief history of town from Manager. Will definitely go back. Perfect beginning to our night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- quick dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/28/2014We knew we only had an hour before a show - our group had either a salad or soup and we all ordered the scallop appetizers. My Quinoa salad was delicious, as were the others and the lobster bisque. The scallops were cooked perfectly - 3 large with asparagus puree. Scallops were seasoned with something salty - otherwise excellent. Service was superb - waiter kept things moving and informed us of time so we could leave in time for the show. Will definitely return to relax for a longer dinner. Also, we reserved a window table near Main Street and that was nice to have them comply.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not QuitepancanDined on 3/1/2014Minimalist describes our meal. The appetizers were tiny, especially for the price. My husband's entrée from the specials was protein on top of a small amount of sweet potatoes - no other accompaniment. Poor presentation. The deconstructed bananas foster was the highlight of the meal. We aren't looking for piles of food on our plates, but this missed the mark.

My friend gave me the set of the shampoo and conditioner when she wasnt happy with the results. I thought I would try it for myself and see if I liked it..bad idea. Not only did this leave my hair greasy like a lot of the other reviewers, but it also caused my scalp to itch like no other. I dont know what it is in this particular shampoo, but Ive never had that reaction from another shampoo. I threw this out, because I figured why pass along a bad product to a third person.
More reviews by ChanelSaysSimon
Bought this shampoo about 3 months ago and I've used it about twice. It's been sitting in my shower ever since. It has a great fruity smell and I was drawn in by all of the colorful BedHead products with catchy names but this was a huge disappointment it made my hair extremely dry. Don't know or even understand why it says that it repairs damaged highlighted blonde hair that's how bad it is
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Bought this to help protect my blonde highlights. Hair feels so gross, heavy, waxy, oily. I have been trying for over a week now and will have to stop I can't take my hair feeling this way. Also when I brush it, it breaks, is very frizzy and just nasty.

Gross. I bought the one in the new white packaging. It delivers, I do feel pretty dumb for buying it without checking makeupalley.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This shampoo is great for blonde hair, I've used it on off for years but it is the conditioner that is making your hair feel oily and unwashed like described in the other reviews, even if you use a little of the conditioner it makes your hair feel oily, stay away from conditioner but this shampoo is lovely.

I love this product! It made my over bleached hair feel nice and normal! It smells like grape lollipops and does a great job washing!
The only two downsides is that it had trouble lathering up, and it can leave hair feeling dry, but only in the drying process. Absolutely love it! I pair it with Moraccan Oil and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle to give my hair the full treatment of strengtheners, smoothers/softeners, and shine enducing.
I decided to go to the salon and dye my hair blonde again and I wanted to make sure I had a good shampoo and conditioner to keep my hair moisturized and easy to maintain since dying your hair blonde can be harsh. Before I bought the Bed Head Dumb Blonde (white bottles) shampoo and conditioner, I was a little nervous on whether or not I should get them because of some of the negative reviews I read but I just wanted to give them a try since my hairstylist suggested it. I did notice that these products do smell a tad like cat pee like some have said HOWEVER, it only smells like that when I blow dry my hair when the hot heat from the dryer hits my hair. Afterwards my hair smells really good. I know that sounds weird to say but it honestly does smell good afterwards like a citrus/flower kind of scent AND the smell lasts allllll day and that's even after I straighten my hair everyday! Normally shampoos and conditioners don't leave a lasting scent in my hair unless I go to town on my scalp for a good 10 minutes but this stuff does. I've been using this stuff for 2 weeks so far and it hasn't let me down yet! It keeps my blonde color vibrant and gives my hair a silky smooth finish. It goes on smoothly in the shower too. I have not tried the Bed Head Dumb Blonde (purple bottles) to know how the two different bottles compare but I am satisfied with this product and as long as I am blonde I will continue to use this product. Give it a try, it is not as terrible as everyone makes it to be but then again everyone's hair is different. My hair is fine/normal, I straighten it everyday, and have dyed my hair plenty of times to know what damaged hair is all about. So if you're anything like me, give this stuff a try. The least that will happen is you are out $50 bucks.
I love the TiGi Bed Head products, and have tried a few different shampoos and conditioners and LOVED them. I hadn't tried the Dumb Blonde one, but figured I'd give it a go because I thought it would be just as good as the other ones (I especially like the Urban Antidotes ones). The shampoo & conditioner are awful. After washing my hair it doesn't feel silky or smooth, which you would expect, but instead it feels oily and unclean. I think it would feel nicer if I didn't wash it at all!! So that is $50 wasted, and I've had to go out and buy new shampoo & conditioner, because there is no way I can keep using this stuff.
This makes my bleached hair look more white than yellow.
Love the strawberry/raspberry-like smell.
Love how it makes my hair so soft that it´s unnecessary to use a conditioner.
I was given this from my best friends sister, since she purchased too much and would never be able to use it all. This wasn't my first time with TiGi since I had used another shampoo/conditioning product of theirs (that I can't remember the name of) that worked rather well. But I was using that as a red head and am now a blonde (naturally brunette). I have A/G products right now but I was excited to use this product so I showered and used both the Dumb Blonde conditioner and shampoo.
When I woke up in the morning my hair felt disgusting. It was oily, greasy...like there was a thick layer of silicone. It was very hard to brush. I thought maybe because I was at my mums and there is little shower pressure I just didn't get all of the product out. So when I went back to my house I re-washed my hair with the Dumb Blonde...I started blow-drying and it was disgusting! It still had the same gross, greasy feel and was still hard to brush! I took ANOTHER shower and washed my hair with my A/G...once again it feels like hair :) Don't waste your money. This is not at all worth it.

Changing power plan also change wallpaper.
Hello to all,
As my title says i just want to do that particular thing, if possible. I have a samsung laptop that has a preintalled program that changes to silent mode(low consumption)- normal mode and speed mode (high cunsuption plan). When i change to low or high plan i want to also change to one particular wallpaper that i want. (Made myself). If it is possible let me know. If it's not, let me know again and stop my hopes for it.
Any help should and is appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

Soto, welcome to Sevenforums.
I do not have access to this program, so I don't know. If I had to guess, I would say no, it is not possible.
Windows has similar features for power consumption: power-saving, balanced, and high performance. These are probably more reliable than a preinstalled program. You can probably pin Control Panel to your Start Menu Task Bar, right click it and select Power options if you are looking for a fast way to access those options (see picture):
From windows, you cannot change the 'wallpaper' at the same time. However, if you RIGHT-click the desktop and select Personalize, it will open a window in which you can change the Desktop background. Select that option and choose whatever picture you would like at the moment. You can also have the computer cycle through pictures with the option at the bottom when you select multiple pictures.
For another option: you can install the Bing Destop optional update, in which Microsoft will download temporary pictures when you startup your computer. A new picture every day.

Well thanks for your help, in the ferst place. I was a little misdleading. As i said the program haw these 3 options which DO change hte power plans of the windows. However it is possibly proved that this with the wallpaper is not yet possible. Thanks anyway for your answer. I found a possible solution to this by making 3 different personal custom themes and changing manually. Thanks again in advance.

Oct. 14, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) - Railroad officials say Amtrak carried a record number of passengers in the year ending Sept. 30 despite Northeast service that was temporarily knocked out by Superstorm Sandy.
The nation's passenger railroad network carried 31.6 million riders during the 2013 federal budget year. Amtrak's long-distance routes recorded their best ridership in 20 years with 4.8 million passengers.
Ridership for all of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington reached 11.4 million passengers, the second-best year for the corridor. That was despite service interruptions when Superstorm Sandy slammed into New York, New Jersey and Connecticut last October, flooding tunnels and tracks.
Ticket revenues also increased to a record $2.1 billion. Amtrak relies on federal subsidies for a small share of its operating expenses.

Ofcom: Parents, here's how to keep grubby tots from buying Smurfberries
You don't have small kids do you?
My 14 month old can unlock an iOS device (as long as there's no PIN), find the folder with her apps in it and launch them. She also knows how to quit out of an app to launch a new one. Trust me, kids are fascinated with touch screen phones/tablets.
Can Bing ride IE and WinPho to Google triumph?
People expect second best??
"...the web surfing public has had its expectations shaped by a decade of second best from Google. They now expect second best, ..."
Bull. Every time I've compared Google to Bing, Google (despite the content farms and spam) still manages to put relevant links higher up the page than Bing. To me that's not second best. It doesn't matter about any other "features" Bing might bring to the table - if it isn't is as good as Google at searching, I won't use it.
India to place $11bn order for AIP hi-tech submarines
India not the first with AIP
"The cash is intended to see India become the first non-Western nation to deploy long-touted, much feared "air independent propulsion" (AIP) submarine technology."
Pakistan deployed it's first AIP submarine (PNS Khalid - an Agosta 90b class boat) in 2008. The other two boats of this class are due to be upgraded with the same (MESMA) AIP system from 2011 when they are due for their first overhaul. I'd expect better from a former naval officer.

Deviled Mushrooms On Toast Recipe
Sep 29, 2012 9:01 am
Try a simple British brunch of mushrooms on toast
It's usually deviled kidneys you get on toast, but I like to devil mushrooms. You still get all the flavor, and you can share them with your vegetarian friends too.
Servings: 4
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds button mushrooms, wiped and trimmed
3 tablespoons brandy
3 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 cup heavy cream
juice of 1 lemon
6 slices of bread
2 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the mushrooms, and fry over high heat for 3 minutes.
- Add the brandy with great care as it may well catch alight as it hits the hot pan, but any flames will quickly die away.
- Allow the brandy to evaporate, then add the mustard, paprika, cream, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat to low and season with salt and pepper.
- Toast the bread then arrange the slices on serving plates. Add most of the chopped parsley to the mushrooms and stir well. Top the toast with the deviled mushrooms, sprinkle the remaining parsley and serve hot.

What We Do
"O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together." Psalm 34:3
Worship is about God, not about performance or art.
Services are opportunities for us to use our musical and artistic talents, but a slick production isn't our goal. Worship is more than music. It's more than art. It's more than a show.
Worship is a spiritual activity, with or without music. That doesn't mean that using creative elements and striving for excellence is a bad thing. It's quite the opposite. God is glorified when we use our gifts to bring Him glory, and Sunday services are a great opportunity to use our talents in praise, music, art and creative communication. But one thing guides everything that we do on stage. Our artists and musicians are worshipers first. They're worship leaders second.
Where can I help out?
Excellent question. There are lots of ways that you can serve, and no matter what your experience level is, we've got a place for you. Below are just some of the ways to join in.
• Vocalists – Ensembles, Soloists, Choir
• Band – Guitar, Drums, Keys, Bass, Etc.
• Orchestra – Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, Percussion
• Drama – Acting, Writing, Storytelling, Directing
• Dance and Choreography
• Production & Stage Management
• Visual & Creative Design – Stage Design, Seasonal & Thematic Decor
• Tech Arts – Sound, Lighting, Video Projection
• Visual Arts – Graphic Design, Video Production, Photography
If you would like more information about serving in worship & fine arts or would like to join in,
Wednesday Evening Rehearsals 6:30-8:30pm
Our choir, orchestra, and band rehearse every Wednesday with times for prayer, fellowship and interactive Bible study built into our rehearsal schedule.
Sunday Morning Schedule
During the school year, the choir normally sings 3 times/month, the orchestra plays 2 times/month, and band members rotate as scheduled.
Holidays and Special Events
We celebrate Christmas and Easter with outreach events and productions, and these are great short-term opportunities to serve. Each of them require a wide range of specialties, from vocalist and instrumentalists to carpenters and creative designers. Come join in.

Five years after rebirth, Bellevue Arts Museum on firmer footing
On Friday, the Bellevue Arts Museum will celebrate the fifth anniversary of its rebirth. The museum, which focuses on art, craft and design, has emerged from a tumultuous period to find new momentum.
Seattle Times Eastside reporter
Seven years ago, the Bellevue Arts Museum — plagued by low attendance, financial mismanagement and a risky business model — shut down for two years.
During the closure, supporters refocused the museum's artistic vision back to its original roots in art, craft and design and hired a well-regarded director. But the community was still skeptical, some donors skittish.
And when it reopened in 2005, there was no guarantee the museum would survive.
This Friday, as leaders celebrate the fifth anniversary of BAM's rebirth during its annual membership meeting, those questions are in the past. The museum's educational programs are expanding and it is launching new efforts to showcase local artists. Paid attendance is growing and its financial footing is firmer.
Executive Director and CEO Mark Crawford is set to announce a new campaign to raise $3 million in pledges by year's end. The museum already has reached two-thirds of its goal.
The city of Bellevue jump-started the museum's revival with a $2 million grant in 2007. Museum leaders said the money helped encourage old donors to give again.
Museum leaders also were determined to bring visitors back through exhibits with local artists, showcasing them in the context of national or international peers. They credit now-retired director of curatorial affairs Michael Monroe with elevating the museum's artistic standing nationally.
The museum rotated exhibits regularly to draw people in, and churned out new publications.
Still, for the first three years after BAM reopened, board president Susan Edelheit said people kept asking if the museum would still be open the next day.
But when people didn't question replacing the retiring Monroe as artistic director with Stefano Catalani, she knew things had changed. Now, they ask, "What are they going to do next?" she said.
Crawford said, "The shift in the way the community is seeing us has come a long, long way."
The turnaround at BAM, which was founded in 1975, has not always been pretty. In 2008, its chief financial officer pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $300,000 from the museum.
"It was a setback," said Catalani, who was the museum's curator at that time. "It was scary."
BAM now has a roughly $3 million annual budget and 1,800 members. Crawford said the paid admissions increased last year by about 30 percent. There were a total of 50,000 visits to the museum last year.
Crawford has taken additional steps to make BAM more accessible, offering free admission on the first Friday of the month and opening the museum seven days a week instead of six.
"We want to send the signal, 'We're open; we're vibrant,' " he said.
The amount of contributions, however, returned slower than hoped, with donors watching how the museum was doing before deciding to give again, said Mary Pat Byrne, arts specialist for the city of Bellevue.
Monroe was able to get more support from donors outside the Northwest than the museum has seen before, she said.
"I think that their roots into the community have been refreshed and deepened," Byrne said. "Now they are as strong artistically or stronger than they ever have been."
The Benaroya Foundation has been giving money since the time the museum reopened. Rebecca Benaroya said she had heard great things about then-director Monroe from the arts community, and felt the change in the museum was promising.
Now, she says, the shows are incredible.
"I just want to see it grow," she said. "It's a little jewel in the heart of Bellevue."
The museum's recent exhibits have included a retrospective of shoe designer Beth Levine, presenting 40 years of the designer's shoes in a cultural context. This fall, it will host its first BAM Biennial, a juried exhibition that focuses on Northwest artists.
The museum recently picked 34 artists out of nearly 200 submissions for this year's theme: clay.
"This museum is like clay," Catalani said. "We're shaping it."

dinner in long branch?
I'm looking for an upscale, not frou-frou, resto in Long Branch for dinner. My sister and bro-in-law are going to the spa there for their first no-kids overnight in 3 years...he is 6'7" and has an appetite to match, hence the "no frou-frou" request. But I'm looking for decent, romantic, friendly place.
Was thinking Biaggia or Cask 491 based on previous posts. Any addl advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance--
i like to recommend pier village but other chows aren't as crazy about it. i find the atmosphere of the newly built area almost swank. there are conflicting reviews but ive heard sirena's is good. there's also a chain sushi place, a great gelati joint and other stuff.
re: nyebaby37
When Sirena's first opened, there were many positive reports. However, lately, I've read far less glowing reviews on this and other boards. Here's a very recent negative review from a Hound: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/37999...
You're also correct that the consensus on this board is that the other Pier Village restaurants are best avoided.
re: nyebaby37
The sushi place in Pier Village is called Sawa and it's not a chain. They have one other location in Eatontown. The sushi in the Eatontown location is among the best in the area and is BYO. The Pier Village has a liquor license and the food is good, but not as good as the Eatontown location.
re: fershore
I'll never return to the Sawa at Pier Village. I will not comment on the food (as I didn't have much) but the service was atrocious. First, the place was freezing. Second, the server had no idea who ordered what - "Who ordered the (fill in the blank)?" Third, the server handed us our plates instead of placing them on a table. This is maybe okay for a diner but not a restaurant of this supposed caliber. Last, the server failed to deliver the courses to all diners at the same time with delays of as much as ten minutes before everyone at my table were served. This was completely ridiculous. I was obliged to complain to management who "thanked me" for my concerns. Never again folks. BTW, I have dined at the Eatontown location and I have never experienced such issues.
re: hotfoodhot
Hey hot - I actually tried It's Greek To Me last week (a halfway decent Greek Salad with Chicken) and even have considered coming back to try Avenue during the off-season. What can I say, I must be a gluten for punishment.
re: bgut1
Hey, b.,
Since this is a year-old thread, did you just go to the Pier Village Sawa? Not that I was planning to do so because, as you know, I don't eat sushi. Just curious.
I'm surprised that you found the food at It's Greek to Me in Pier Village "halfway decent" since, as you know, our experience at the Holmdel location was horrible!
With regard to Avenue, we must have that "great minds" thingy going here because after the discussion about it on that other thread, I, too, have been considering giving it an off-season try. Maybe we should take the "punishment" together? We could "splurge" on the cash only $24.95 prix-fixe. lol
re: RGR
That ad for Avenue annoys me so much! The one for the prix fixe $24.95 cash only....what if you are with a group of people and eveveyone has cocktails, wines, etc. Maybe it is just me, but that ad drives me crazy!!
I also must admit, I would want to try it again, too, but I wait for one of you first to take the plunge!! haa haa..
I am afraid I am setting myself up for disaster!
re: Angelina
RGR - This was my first visit to Sawa at the Pier. As you know, I'm closer to the Eatontown location so I've never had the occasion to try that branch before Saturday evening. As for It's Greek To Me, I only did try a salad with grilled chicken (some thing that I eat a lot of) and it was fine. The greens were fresh, the feta was nice and the chicken wasn't dry. AFAIK, if those three items work then the salad is decent. Obviously, I can't speak to the other items on the menu and therefore my review is very limited. Although its far from the top of my "try list" as any could possibly be, I would probably try it again if in a "Greek" pinch. As to Avenue, I agree. Let's go together.
Angelina - The cash only thing bothers me as well. While I understand that credit cards cost money to the establishment, we are only talking $.75 ($24.99 x 3%) for every diner. I'd rather pay the extra dollar for the meal for the convenience of not having to bring cash. To me its kind of petty for a place that tries to sell itself as the hip luxury restaurant/club in Monmouth county.
re: bgut1
RE Greek to Me. In my too frequent experience at the Holmdel location, I've found the more conventional items to be OK. By "conventional" I mean items would would find on nearly any chain restaurant menu: garden salad, salad with grilled chicken, lentil soup.
I've found the greek-style food and pastry items to be mediocre. I have never been happy with any of their seafood.
re: val ann c
Based on your experiences, I guess it's foolish for us to expect a *Greek* restaurant to do a good job with the *Greek* items on the menu, which is what we ordered. I'd say the restaurant has the perfect name since well-executed *Greek* food is, as the expression goes, "Greek to them"! lol
I never did the math on that prix-fixe cost if they accepted credit cards. Just $.75? Sheesh! That is chintzy for such a supposedly chi chi place! In any event, I'm now looking forward to us "taking one for Angelina"! :-))
re: chefMD
Hey, chefMD,
As a famous comedian used to say, "Why would I kid about a thing like that?!" Check it out for yourself: http://www.leclubavenue.com/main.html
poho, I'm not familiar with Biaggia. As for Cask 591 (you were off by one digit), I've heard mostly negative reports about the food.
There really is no place in Long Branch or the areas immediate around it that completely fits what your sister and her husband are looking for. They might want to consider Manhattan Steakhouse, not far from Long Branch, on Route 35 North, in Oakhurst. Definitely no frou frou food there. The steaks are very good, and the generous portions should adequately feed your b-i-l's appetite. While I wouldn't consider it romantic, the interior is quite handsome.
Piccola Italia, in the same vicinity as Manhattan Steakhouse, serves very good Italian cuisine. We haven't been there in quite some time, but we've enjoyed a couple of meals there, and it gets uniformly good reviews from other Hounds. It's a friendly, pleasant place though, again, I wouldn't describe it as romantic.
IMHO, Long Branch Chow is pretty lacking. That being said, and I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed Avenue when I last dined there over the summer. While the place was a tad expensive and a bit pretentious, I thought the food was pretty solid. As far as Cask 491 is concerned, while I've never been, I heard mixed reviews. You might inquire whether your sister in bro-in-law would be willing to drive a little bit out of town. Red Bank has a bit more to offer say Dish or Thyme Square to name a few. Otherwise Good Luck with whatever they choose.
RGR's recommendation for Piccola Italia is good (I'm not a fan of Manhattan Steakhouse -- Manhattan prices, but I don't find the steak great), as is bgut1's suggestion to consider nearby Red Bank. If they want to stay in close proximity to the hotel, I'd suggest Pearl of Lisbon, a Portugese restaurant. The food, IMO, is better than decent, the waitstaff friendly, and the small, dimmed dining room can certainly be considered romantic. I never heard of Biaggia.
I would head south to Asbury for Moonstruck or Mr. C's Beach Bistro in Allenhurst.
Charley's in North Long Branch won't meet your "upscale" needs but you get a lot of bang for the buck and it's very friendly and close to the Ocean Place hotel, if that's where you're staying.
re: fershore
I always forget about Charley's. My inlaws used to be regulars there, but I haven't returned in many years. If your brother-in-law is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, he'd do very well at Charley's. They make an excellent prime rib and loaded baked potato. The fish offerings are usually very good as well. Cash only as far as I remember. I'm overdo for a return visit. Thanks for reminding me, fershore.
re: jsfein
Charley's now takes credit cards and there's an ATM in the foyer.
The comfort food menu (all under $10) offers several hearty choices: chicken pot pie (could feed 2), meatballs (huge) and pasta, beef stroganoff...
re: fershore
I agree with RGR and fershore about both Piccola Italia and Moonstruck. If you go to Asbury, I would add Market in the Middle to the list. I've never been to Charley's but I would trust the recommendations of the foodies from this board. Again - Good Luck.
re: RGR
RGR - I meant to write I agreed with your recommendation of Piccola and fershore's of Moonstruck. I like both as a matter of fact. I've only been to Moonstruck a few times since they moved, but I found the food to be quite good. Nothing to go crazy about but good none the less. BTW, I also agree about Manhattan SH. Of the three steakhouses in the area (Manhattan, Danny's and Brennens - five if you count murphy's and what's your beef) it is far and away the best. Well made steaks, a great house salad, good drinks and a nice atmosphere. Also the owner Jaime is a great guy.
re: fershore
I haven't been to Moonstruck since they moved to Asbury from Ocean Grove. My one dinner there was a real disappointment. The food was fine but not anywhere near as terrific as all the raves I had read said it was. Definitely one of those exceedingly high expectations situations blown to bits. After the move, I read reports from some people, previously big fans, who said the food quality had deteriorated. Yet another good reason for me not to bother trying it again.
re: RGR
RGR - I do agree that Moonstruck was much better before it moved. In addition to the food, I think it lost a little of its intimacy and charm. I don't recall having a bad meal but I can tell you it is not one of the places that pops into my head when the DW lets me know we have a sitter for the night. Maybe that says alot. I still wouldn't hesitate recommending the place as it probably better than 90% of the places out there.
This should interesting to hear where they decide to eat :o)
We have them going all over the area. I thought most romantic places tend to be frou frou as you should be more interested talking "sweet nothings" to your date/spouse than eating a porterhouse. Watching a man eat a steak isnt a pretty sight :o)
Does the hotel have a restaurant inside? Its a crying shame Pier Village doesnt have a decent place to eat. After eating there they could have a quiet romantic walk down the promenade then stop in for a nice cuppa and pastry in Carmella's then walk back to their hotel. The least offensive place may be the Japanese if they prefer not to drive.
re: tom porc
Hey you fellow Chowhounds--
First of all, THANKS! I don't know where my bro-in-law and sis are going to end up, but I'll be sure and let you know. This thread was incredible--everyone was thoughtful, specific, and remembered the details of my request amazingly well!
There are always unpredictable variables, and much as I would like to "order" them to go to the place with the best combo of food/ambience etc, they are slightly less willing to drive all over creation for a great appetizer than the rest of us. Having said that, I've forwarded all suggestions and highlighted the important points.
And yes, they are staying at the spa there. So the other variable is that the spa lost all their bookings for massages, etc, so they had to rebook whatever was available. If they show up and get massages immediately, they may just sleep through dinner!
Thanks again everyone and I'll send a report when I hear.
re: tom porc
poho hasn't said specificially, but I think it's a pretty good guess they're staying at the Ocean Place Hotel & *Spa*. There is a restaurant -- actually, more than one place to eat -- in the hotel. I know nothing about the restaurant except that I remember reading somewhere about them hiring a new chef not long ago. There's a photo on the website's dining page of a very attractive outdoor cafe with a superb ocean view. It would be my fervent wish that a setting like that have food to match! O.K., I'll settle for better than mediocre. lol If anyone has tried it, I'd love to hear about it.
re: RGR
Hi RGR and all-
Yes, the Ocean Place Hotel and Spa sounds like the name my sis told me. And I hadn't thought much about them just staying put. Although, now that I think about it, the two times I stayed at a spa the meals were either included (Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, and for that price, they should have packed meals for the next few weeks as well!) or pretty good on-site (Norwich in CT). Too healthy for real indulgence though.
re: poho
So glad they enjoyed it! The old brick interior and soft lighting made for a romantic evening. I wonder if he ordered the porterhouse :o)
Looking at the menu ... they seem to have a variety and not too expensive. The wine list is extensive although I know nothing about wine. A jazz style lounge too.
I have had some very good experiences at cask although I haven't been in a few months. I agree with RGR and would certainly hit piccolo italia before most restaurants in LB. As for Pier Village I live within 2 minute walking distance and I do not dine there. It seems that in Long Branch the nicer the establishment looks the worse the service is. Sawa I have had equally bad experiences as bgut. At Sirena I waited for over 20 mins before my server even approached the table and then he was arrogant, after I ordered the wine he walked by the table many times and still was another 15 mins before presentation, I walked out. Avenue and Le Club, HA, a joke for sure. I did what I thought would be a quick lunch with 3 friends, basic apps salad and what not to start, following that I had a salmon dish that was 1 overdone and 2 cold, probably sitting waiting to be dropped on the table. The lunch was over a 2 hour event during a slow weekday not conducive for a return visit. Then there is Mccloones which is always always consistent, great view bad food and bad service, although Dante, one of the bartenders makes some pretty good cocktails which is always a good start, but I would stop after that. I believe I made my point in opposition to pier village on all accounts, its just not my cup of tea.
Hey Folks, New diner here, but I did a search for Charley's and nothing came up so I'll post here. I went to the soft opening saturday. Cannot say enough. Same menu, quality, with some fantastic additions. The downstairs bar is beautiful, and the upstairs bar has a wonderful view of the ocean. I kept it simple with a shrimp cocktail (kicky cocktail sauce), the shrimp and egg salad was wonderful as always, NY strip cooked perfectly, with a crispy baked potato. Side of aspargus with a hollandaise that beyond was decadent. I think it opens tonight. Enjoy.
PS- I am not related to anyone at Charley's. It really was good, and they did a beautiful job.
re: Widespread Jersey
Thanks for the report! I was hoping they would be open soon. What is on the 2nd level? The place looks great from the outside. Are they "officially" open?
Welcome to the board!
re: Angelina
The place looks very nice on the outside. Like it belongs at the shore.
I wonder if the seating is better now. The old place had seats so close you couldnt move around the room. I hate that. No private conversations.
re: Widespread Jersey
I think this is the menu that you wanted. I was at Charley's only once for a private cocktail party, however, all the people with me (about 20) were/are regulars and say the food and the owners are really great. I'll give it a try.

A 20-year-old Matteson woman was charged with purposefully hitting a woman with her car during an argument Thursday in Park Forest.
Bail was set Sunday at $750,000 for Alexius Keyson aggravated battery charges, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
A 19-year-old Park Forest woman and a friend from Richton Park were driving though Park Forest when they noticed Keys following them, police said.
When they reached the victim's home, Keys pulled into the driveway behind her car, police said. The victim got out of her car and yelled at Keys, police said. Keys allegedly responded by hitting the rear bumper of the parked car. The victim walked to her front lawn and continued to yell at Keys. Keys drove onto the lawn and struck the woman, police said. The victim was taken to St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights with unspecified injuries.
