"34th Birthday Present - BL with..."
For my 34th birthday, I am re-claiming my body! I have had 4 kids (one set of twins); and I'm done making babies so now is the time! I had one child naturally, and then my others were via C-Section. I am getting a mini tummy tuck with lipo & a lollipop mastopexy with HP silicone implants under the muscle. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 24th with Dr. Davoudi, and my Pre-Op is tomorrow! I... more

I found a wonderful plastic... more
"53 Year Old Has Mommy Makeover After..."
I have had 3 kids, had 2 c-sections, gone from 240 pounds to 130 pounds at 5'6" using diet and exercise, and had lots of loose skin on my abdomen and no boobs! With my husband's support I decided to have a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation by Dr. Earl Stephenson.

"Two-stage makeover 1st-Tummy tuck..."
Hello community members. I will start by telling you that I was born with a very unusual tubular breast deformity and asymmetry. In 2000 I underwent a benelli/crescent lift hybrid along with sub-muscular 350cc saline implants. Shortly after ( An update to yesterday's review (a good portion of my text did not show up). After my initial implants in 2000, I have had two "bottoming outs". ... more
"31 Yr Old Mom of 3 Getting a Tummy..."
After having 3 children and losing about 60 pounds, my body is definitely not what it use to be. I started contemplating plastic surgery about 3 or 4 years ago and this year everything has fallen in place for me to get it done. So, today I met with Dr. Raniere in their Mcdonough office. This was my 2nd consultation. The first plastic surgeon I met with had a somewhat arrogant disposition and... more

"My MMO is Tomorrow! - Alpharetta, GA"
Initially I went in to the Swan Center for just a breast lift and was scheduled for surgery on the 21st of January. I interviewed three PS total and settled on Dr. Fardo. Although I felt like all three were great PS (Checked certifications and malpractice issues on state board websites), Dr. Fardo made me feel like my concerns were valid and he was REALISTIC. I appreciate the candor... more
"Mommy of 3 Makeover - Suwanee, GA"
Hello. I am mother to three children. My youngest is three. My body has gone through alot during my three pregnancies. I gained over 75 pounds during my first and my body has never been the same since. I would have loved to have this procedure after that but I knew I wasn't done having children. Now that my family is complete, I am ready to have my body back! I started my research about these... more

Hello everyone, I thank everyone for posting and sharing their stories because when you go into these procedures you really don't know what to think.

"Mommy Makeover - I'm nervous but..."
I'm nervous but excited about Wednesday. I'm having a breast reduction, tummy tuck and lipo on my legs. I've needed a reduction since my 20's but wanted to wait to have kids. I'm now 38 and can't wait to be able to go buy a "normal" size bra instead of my 38H now. I was lucky enought to get my insurance co. to pay for my reduction. I'm counting down the hours and I'm ready but unsure of the... more
"Incredible Surgeon, Incredible Staff..."
To feel like myself again. I had extensive surgeries with Dr. Nakano in October of 2011 (breast lift & augmentation reinforced with strattice, liposuction in four areas, full tummy tuck with muscle repair) and both Dr. Nakano and his staff were incredibly thorough, meticulous, cautious and compassionate. It was only after extensive research and interviews that I selected Dr. Nakano,... more

If you have hardwood floors, you know how dirty they can get – and how quickly, especially if you have two adults, a teenage boy, and a cat at home like I do. Every day brings more tracked-in dirt, rock salt stains, spills, and those weird grimy splotches under the dishwasher (seriously, what is that?). If you're using a mop and bucket, it's hard to find the time and patience to keep your floors clean and looking good.
Thankfully, there's Haan. Haan has developed a wide range of lightweight steam cleaners that use regular tap water to clean and sanitize your floors. The superheated, 212° steam jetting from the vacuum head kills bacteria, loosens hard stains, and can even eliminate odors ingrained in your carpet and upholstery – all without any harsh chemicals! Three of the newest Haan models are now available at Best Vacuum, and whether it's at home or here in our showroom, I can honestly say that these are the best steam cleaners I've used. Take a look, and see which one is right for you.
First up is the Haan SI-40, called the "Haan Agile." They're bragging a little bit with the name: this is the first series of Haan steamers that features a swivel-head, making it much easier to get around corners, behind the toilet, and around furniture. In order to make sure the Haan SI-40 could stand on its own (at only 5.5 lbs.), Haan needed to reinforce the swivel-neck with a spring system. So it doesn't twist and twirl as smoothly as I'd like. But if that's the way to keep it lightweight and sturdy, who am I to complain?
In all honesty, this is a basic, reliable, efficient machine. The 12 oz. water tank heats up in about 20 seconds, and gives you a full 25 minutes of steam. I've never had to refill the water tank while cleaning!
The next step up is the Haan SI-60, called the "Haan Select." What makes this one special? It's functionally the same as the Haan SI-40. Same tank size, same weight, etc. But it's the only Haan steamer with adjustable output settings: high, and low. At first glance, it seems unnecessary. But if you have an eclectic mix of hard floor types, this machine will really help you take care of them. You have the low setting for more delicate surfaces like hardwood and laminate. Then you have the high setting for harder surfaces that need a little more "tough love," like stone and tile. And when you have one bathroom for three people, that "high" setting comes in real handy. Believe me.

What book would you give to someone to scare them on Halloween? You tell us your All Hallows' Reads
Yesterday, we asked our Twitter followers and Facebook friends what frightening read they would give to someone else to celebrate Halloween, a fabulous idea dreamt up by Neil Gaiman, whose recent novel The Graveyard Book was picked by several of those who wrote back with the hashtag #allhallowsreads. And thank you to him for retweeting our request.
People picked a large variety of books, from children's to adult, classic and modern. The famously taphophobic (fear of being buried alive) Edgar Allan Poe still rules the roost as far as the classics choices goes, though Dracula is also a favourite, while that modern master of the spooky Stephen King is still scaring people silly with stories like It and Pet Semetary.
I would add to this list John Wyndham's classic The Midwich Cuckoos – in which the inhabitants of a small English village all fall unconscious for a day, before they start giving birth to sinister children – and almost anything by Shirley Jackson, whose own psychological issues gave a very disturbing slant on small-town American life, a slant later mined by Stephen King to great effect.
So as the dark draws in and four-foot tall monsters in plastic masks roam the streets over the next few days, search out one of these books and give it as your All Hallows' Read.
@DanielMFarley [5]
Fungus the Bogeyman by Raymond Briggs. Snotty sustenance!
@ChandaJGlass [6]
For ages 4 to 8: Even Monsters Need Haircuts by Matthew McElligott. Clever, kind, spooky fun for a kid you love.

I'd start with the The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey [8]. Some of the best written YA lit these days.
@lanceybesthound [9]
What is the scariest book ever? My creator says Susan Hill's The Woman in Black. Dog Grooming for Dummies is a book that terrifies me.

@TheMcNabbist [27]
For adults: I Am Legend. For kids 9+: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. For kids under 9: Scooby Doo books, any title.
@yellowguinea [28]

@harehunterfield [37]
The Pan Book of Horror Stories – those are a step in the right direction...

@LHeskey [54]
I don't read many horrors aside from old school gothics. For adults: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (more eerie) and The Graveyard Book for younger.
@BethanFerguson [55]
Has to be John Lindqvist's Let the Right One In – scary beyond belief.

History of the Bunkhouse
The Bunkhouse, built in 1908, was located in the booming town of National, three miles South of Ashford. Originally, the building was home to local loggers and mill workers. You can still see grooves in the soft, fir floor made by their caulk boots. After all the timber in the valley was cut and there were no more logs for the mill to saw, the town of National faded away.
In the 1960's, many of the buildings in National were relocated. The Bunkhouse was cut into several pieces and brought to its current location. Over the past twenty years the building was home to several different businesses, including a veterinary clinic, a grocery store and a thrift shop. As the years passed by, the building began to deteriorate. The entire building sagged and the original shake roof was covered in black plastic shredded from the wind.
In the Fall of 1991, Lou and Ingrid Whittaker bought the Bunkhouse and began to repair the damages from years of wet weather. Throughout the Winter, a crew of local people worked hard in poor weather conditions. Major renovations began by jacking up the entire building and pouring a new foundation. Then came a metal roof, which made interior renovation possible. During the winter of 1992, all new pluming and wiring was installed throughout the building.
In May of 1993, the building opened officially as a Bunkhouse, providing private rooms and shared accommodations for travelers. The front portion of the building became an espresso shop with historical climbing decor.
Climbing History
As the last town before Mount Rainier National Park, Ashford provides a perfect base camp for climbers attempting Rainier, which is why Lou Whittaker located his guide service [Rainier Mountaineering Inc.] in Ashford. The walls of the Cafe are lined with historic climbing equipment and photographs. Among the climbing memorabilia, are pieces of logging equpiment from the former logging town of National.

Homewood trustees voted Tuesday night to prohibit assault weapons in the village, taking advantage of a provision in Illinois' new concealed-carry law that allows towns to ban the powerful guns within 10 days of the law going into effect.
"This is an opportunity for us to state who we are and what we value for the community," Trustee Anne Colton said. "My Homewood, the Homewood I am raising my three beautiful children in, doesn't need assault weapons."
Under the ordinance, approved by a 5-0 vote, anyone in the village with an assault rifle has 90 days to either remove it from the village limits, alter the weapon to make it permanently inoperable or turn it over to police for disposal. Anyone who violates the ordinance faces a fine of from $100 to $750.
Also Tuesday night, Hazel Crest trustees passed a similar ordinance against assault weapons.
A federal appeals court ruled in December that Illinois' ban on carrying concealed handguns in public was unconstitutional and gave the Legislature until Tuesday to adopt a law allowing it.
In May, the House and Senate passed by large margins a concealed-carry law, but Quinn last week issued an amendatory veto, making several changes to the law. Among them were limiting to one the number of guns a person can carry and prohibiting concealed weapons in restaurants that serve alcohol.
But, as expected, the Legislature overrode the veto Tuesday, finalizing the law that makes Illinois the 50th state to allow its citizens to legally carry a concealed handgun.
About 20 people showed up at the Homewood Village Board meeting to speak about the issue.
Resident Debbie Hart, 52, said she heard about the meeting on the news hours before it began and wished trustees would've given residents more notice prior to voting on such a sensitive issue.
"It's the wrong way to go about passing this, and that's my beef," Hart said.
Brian Miller, 44, said after the meeting that the village ordinance prohibits him from keeping his shotgun because it holds more than five rounds. He claimed it would keep him from enjoying his hobby — competitive marksmanship and skeet shooting.
"It's about the freedom to own the gun you want to own," said Miller, a U.S. Navy veteran. "I signed up for fighting for freedom, and I don't think I would see it go down the toilet like this. My home is for sale in Homewood."
Larry Garth 60, said he supported the ban because he has a grandson living in Chicago's gang-ridden Englewood community who has seen friends killed by gun violence.
"People have the right to bear arms because it is part of the Constitution," Garth said. "You're not going hunting with assault weapons for that very reason. They aren't designed for sportsmanship."
In Hazel Crest, two residents opposed the measure, with Lee Harrington saying he was sorry to see freedoms being diminished and arguing that a ban doesn't protect anyone from criminals.
"It was wrong to do this. If somebody wants to hurt somebody, they're going to do it anyway," he said.
A woman who would not give her name told the village board, "Let the gangbangers take over. They've already got the town."
Mayor Vernard Alsberry Jr. said he understood the concerns but that in the wake of school shootings across the country, the board's action reflected the realities of a changing world.
"We live in a different time. ... People are different now. We have to understand that. We have to protect not only ourselves but our children," Alsberry said.

iBattle: Apple May Finally Storm the Pentagon
- Wednesday February 22, 2012
In civilian life, the iPad is the clear tablet leader. But in the military, the Pentagon likes its Android devices, and has shunned Apple products. But that may be about to change, as an Air Force office buys 18,000 (mostly) iPads, giving Cupertino a new chance to win the military's OS and tablet wars.

text: Getting cast alongside Sacha Baron Cohen in a major studio comedy is a big deal for any up-and-coming actor, but Jason Mantzoukas says he wasn't shocked that he landed his breakout role of nuclear scientist Nadal in The Dictator. ''Looking the way I look, whenever anybody's looking for a light brown funny guy, I get the call,'' says the actor, 39. ''I'm 100 percent Greek, but I look like I could be Indian or Middle Eastern or Hispanic. If it's ethnic, they'll try and put me in it.'' Mantzoukas who's best known as the homicidal (and, as it happens, Hispanic) Rafi on FX's The League also writes for and produces the Adult Swim series Childrens Hospital and cohosts the comedy podcast ''How Did This Get Made?'' He began sharpening his improv chops in the late '90s as a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, but he owes a good deal of his performance in The Dictator to a postcollege stint studying music in North Africa, where he picked up a smattering of Arabic. ''There are little phrases I remember,'' he says. ''I'm allergic to eggs, so I know how to ask, 'Are there eggs in this?' In the movie, I speak a mix of Arabic words, Greek words, and gibberish. But for an Arabic speaker, it's going to sound like 'Gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, eggs.'''

You know that saying, "Life comes at you fast"? Well, it's true. The older a person gets, the faster life seems to go. When you are young, you can't wait to grow up and when you get older, you want it to slow down.
With life comes wrinkles. They kind of sneak up on you...I'm pretty sure it is when you are sleeping and your guard is down. It seems that everyone dreads finding a new wrinkle but when you think about where they come from, it's not such a bad thing. When you think of all the events in your life that caused these wrinkles...new beginnings, sad endings, the trying of your patients, overcoming challenges that made you a better, stronger person, laughing until your stomach hurts, smiling...kids...It makes it all worth it. Every wrinkle tells a story. No matter how much face cream you use, these are the stories of your life. (Try to stay with me. There's a reason for this story.)
A friend of mine and co booth owner at KnB's Marketplace had a beautiful old ironing board that he had found. He wanted me to do something to it to spruce it up. Again, I forgot to take a good before shot so I apologize for that. I tend to dive in to projects before thinking about taking a picture. The ironing board was somewhat faded looking and had an advertisement paper that was partially peeling off. Overall it was in good shape. Someone had taken pretty good care of it.
We'll pretend that this is the before shot!
I started out by sanding it a little and giving it a new coat of stain to richen the color. I used Modge Podge to adhere and seal the advertisement trying to preserve the original quality of the print. Then I found this catchy little saying..."Every Wrinkle Tells A Story." I thought that was so appropriate to put on an ironing board. I painted the saying on there, antiqued it a bit and gave the board a coat of wax. Finally, I adhered a frame around the print to give it some importance.
I love the way it turned out! I love the quote even more! It is so true. It kind of makes you look at wrinkles in a whole new light, doesn't it? I think it would look great hanging in someone's laundry room or anywhere in a home to remind you that wrinkles aren't necessarily a bad thing. They're the story of your life after all! You can find this and more treasures at The Feathered Nest at KnB's Marketplace in Fuquay Varina, NC.

Milan Fashion Week 2012: White Out at Jil Sander
The Scene: Midway through Milan Fashion Week editors excitedly gather for the Jil Sander Spring 2012 show.
The Look: '50s housewife gone Mod. Monochromatic looks in clean tailored silhouettes showcased the sophistication of Raf Simons' aesthetic. White was a prevalent theme throughout the entire collection, punctuated with pastel gingham, demure paisleys and abstract art knits. Peek-a-boo skirts made more than one appearance, under crochet dresses and sheer silk slips: proof that the trend will endure well into next summer.
The Pieces We Want: A full flirty white skirt that hits just above the ankles looks utterly modern against a cropped sleeve sweater with a boldly printed face. We'd wear this ensemble just as it was shown on the runway, with pointy-toe pumps and slicked back hair. Why mess with perfection?

Looking Ahead to Isles Offseason Moves: Goaltending
Welp, it's over – the 2013-14 NHL season has come to a close for the New York Islanders.
Aside from crying and beginning a countdown until October, us Islanders fans will be on high alert as we follow all the off-season moves that the organization makes. Hopefully, these moves will restore our hopes that this is a playoff-bound team next year. Given the performance we saw from the rookies at the end of this season, the playoffs don't really have to be a far shot from reality.
Some say the final piece to this puzzle is a managerial change, some say it's building a stronger defense, both of which are certainly necessities, but here I'd like to focus on goaltending.
Let's take a look at Evgeni Nabokov – he's a 39 year old, frequently injured, average goaltender who has had a well-acclaimed career in the NHL up to this point. Recently, he's been working from one-year contract to one-year contract with the Islanders. As the veteran that he is, this is an ideal situation. He's nearing the end of his career (both age and performance level-wise) and in his eyes, the Islanders are the perfect fit for him until his career does eventually end. The pressure he faces as starter for the Islanders isn't nearly as high as if he was starting elsewhere, mainly because of how the team is viewed in the eyes of its management. Nobody is taking any action to win the cup, so Nabby doesn't have to either. He can stay on the island while playing cautiously through his injuries, and still get to call himself an NHL goaltender.
Nabokov has done a wonderful job for the Islanders during his time here and played a huge part in getting the team to the playoffs last season, but if there are any champion aspirations in the organization, I don't think that he is the answer. As much as I love Nabby the person, I think the road to success will begin when Nabby the goaltender is replaced by a superstar as starter.
Since there aren't any goalies up for grabs at the top of the draft this year, it'll take some trades and some shopping to acquire one that'll bring the Islanders what they've been lacking. It is very possible, but it'll take aggressive moves by the Islanders' GM (I didn't mention any names there as a result of my wishful thinking for the future).
Instead of remaining complacent in their mediocrity, a push for a superstar goaltender is a MUST if this organization wants to regain the respect they earned all over the league last season, and prove to everyone that they do belong in the post-season. If this gets done, along with a more solid defense in front of this new goalie, the Islanders can truly become a force to be reckoned with. Further, combine all of these changes with an overhaul in the front office/behind the bench, and I have a feeling we could see a fifth banner being raised very, very soon.

Double-V Printed Cap-Sleeved Tee
Colorful Top
This top looks better in the picture. Though a lot of colors it was not for me, so I had to return.
September 5, 2014
Great Combination of Colors
This shirt was a fantastic deal in the summer sale, and it has nice details, including the double v-neck trim. The variety of vivid colors on the top go well with a lot of different solid colors -- it simply looks great as a layer under big shirts, jackets and sweaters.

Gorgeous top
So soft and comfortable. Vibrant colors to go with many skirts or trousers. Style seems to whittle waist. Good job, Travelsmith.
July 17, 2014
Great purchase
I love this shirt! It fits great and is carefree. I have worn it twice and got compliments both days.
July 18, 2014
OK top with flaws
I probably could have gotten away with a small in this top, but the medium isn't all that bad. There are many different colors so it will go with a lot of pants, but on the particular top I got, the "V's" start at a lower point than on the model, which sort of drags it down, and the patterns don't match at the side seams, which is sloppy workmanship. But I'll keep it because it will be a versatile and easy to care for warm weather top.
February 1, 2014
petite please
I love this shirt, ordered a small, but its still too long. The colors are great, I just wish it would come in petite.
I am sorry to see it go back.
March 19, 2014
Great travel shirt
This is a perfect shirt for travel. the many colors allow it to look great with almost any solid pant. It fits very well and never wrinkles. I received many compliments on it on a recent
Caribbean cruise. I know I will wear it often.
January 29, 2014
Beautiful shirt
Not only is this shirt beautiful but it fits well and does not wrinkle. What more could you want in a travel-perfect shirt? I love it.

Composer Rahul Raj is back to Mollywood after a hiatus. Rahul's tunes will next be heard in director Amal Neerad's 'Bachelor Party.'
The film, which has a slew of hot Mollywood youngsters, including Prithviraj, Indrajith, Asif Ali, Nitya Menen and Remya Nambeesan, is in the news with all of them sporting their never-seen-before avatars.
"Director Amal wants Bachelor Party to be a musical treat as well. So I've permission to experiment and I'm now working on a hitherto untouched mix of genres," says Rahul, adding, "I made a chance discovery too - a superb folk singer! But wait... I'll tell you more once we're done with the recording officially. Amal definitely wouldn't want me talking more about the film's music department at this point," says Rahul, whose last Mollywood outing was the Indrajith-starrer Chekavar a few years ago.
Meanwhile, Rahul's fans are upbeat and can't seem to wait to hear the 'Chotta Mumbai' composer who got many an award for his Tollywood debut - the Siddharth-Shruthi Hassan starrer Oh My Friend - which won him rave reviews and awards, besides a place of his own in the Telugu film industry. Welcome back, Rahul!

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Shane Victorino will travel to Boston to undergo on an MRI on a hamstring he injured rounding first base on a double on Saturday, casting into question his availability for Opening Day.
Victorino felt his right hamstring "grab" after he hit a line drive off the Green Monster at JetBlue Park in the final game of spring training, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Whether he's in right field on Opening Day depends on the outcome of the MRI.
If Victorino starts the season on the disabled list, the recently optioned Jackie Bradley Jr. would be the first in line to be summoned. Bradley did not travel with the Red Sox to Baltimore when they left on Saturday evening.
"He's on call, certainly," Farrell said.
Victorino, 33, had been limited to just nine games in spring training by various maladies. At first he was held back while he did extra "core strengthening" work, as Farrell described it, and then sat out several days last week with discomfort in his left side. He underwent surgery on his left thumb last December to repair an injury that plagued him late last season, though that procedure did not hold him back in spring training.
Victorino is in the second year of a three-year, $39-million contract with the Red Sox. He hit .294 with a .351 on-base percentage and .451 slugging percentage last season, hitting 15 home runs and stealing 21 bases while playing elite defense in Fenway Park's spacious right field. He had two of the biggest hits of the postseason — a grand slam to put the Red Sox up in Game Six of the ALCS against Detroit, and a three-run double to seal a win in Game Six of the World Series against St. Louis.
Smart packing
Brandon Workman brought a suit with him to Florida just in case. He found out Friday night that he'll be wearing that suit to the White House on Tuesday as part of the 25-man roster the Red Sox will bring north with them for Opening Day.
"It's obviously exciting to be able to break with the team for Opening Day, not only to be part of the team Opening Day but to be able to be part of the stuff we've got coming up," he said. "I'm really happy about it."
Though his 5.17 ERA was higher than he'd have liked, Workman struck out 16 and walked just two hitters in 152/3 innings this spring. He'll join with Chris Capuano as a pitcher the Red Sox will ask to pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen — keeping him stretched out so he eventually can transition back to starting if necessary.
Eight of the first 14 starts Boston pitchers made a year ago lasted fewer than seven innings. Only five times in those 14 starts did a Red Sox starter pitch at least seven innings and throw at least 100 pitches.
"Early in April, for the first month before starters really gain their efficiency where they're counted on for seven innings a night, we foresee the need for a couple of multi-inning guys," Farrell said.
The Red Sox still see Workman as a starter long-term.
"He is definitely starter depth for us," Farrell said.
"That's what he's told me — he does see me as a starter, and he wants me in that role," Workman said. "I don't know the immediate plans, but I know that's long-term what he would like."
In order to protect Workman from what has befallen pitchers such as Joba Chamberlain when they've been asked to yo-yo back and forth between the bullpen and the starting rotation, Workman will pitch out of the bullpen for no more than two or three weeks before he returns to the starting rotation — be it in Boston, if there's a vacancy, or in Triple-A Pawtucket.
"We don't want the back and forth," Farrell said. "It's one thing about stretching out in spring training and going to the bullpen for a short period of time, but once that time period shifts him back to a starter, we want him to remain in that role just for long-term health and minimizing any potential risk."
Workman beat out young lefty Drake Britton and veteran righty Francisco Cordero for the last spot in the bullpen. Britton was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket, and Cordero requested and received his release in order to pursue other opportunities.
With Workman and Grady Sizemore the final pieces, the Red Sox 25-man roster is set:
Pitchers (12): Jon Lester, John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy and Clay Buchholz; Burke Badenhop, Capuano, Andrew Miller, Edward Mujica, Junichi Tazawa, Koji Uehara and Workman.
Catchers (2): A.J. Pierzynski and David Ross.
Infielders (6): Xander Bogaerts, Jonathan Herrera, Will Middlebrooks, Mike Napoli, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia.
Outfielders (5): Mike Carp, Jonny Gomes, Daniel Nava, Grady Sizemore, Victorino.
Papi takes a break
David Ortiz sat out the final Red Sox game of spring training on Saturday, less due to the calf discomfort that sidelined him Friday than for precautionary reasons after rain moved through southwestern Florida in the morning.
"If we're in the regular season, if this is Monday, he's playing," Farrell said.
Ortiz finished spring training hitting a woeful .054 in 37 at-bats in exhibition games. That would be a worse omen had he not missed all of spring training a year ago or hit .228 the year before that, both preceding seasons he wound up as one of the best hitters in the American League.
Other than Ortiz and Pierzynski, who sat out while Ross caught Peavy, the Red Sox fielded their Opening Day lineup — including Nava leading off and Sizemore in center field.
Good day for Napoli, Peavy
Napoli hit a mammoth home run, his fifth of the spring, and Peavy pitched five strong innings for the Red Sox in a 7-4 loss shortened by rain. Boston finished the Grapefruit League season with a record of 11-17.

A Taste of Trail Creek (at a special price)
Ah, slack. The autumn shoulder season in Sun Valley brings many pleasures – gorgeous sunny days, bright fall foliage, and no less importantly … slack food specials. During the quieter months, most of our area's mouthwatering eateries entice diners with appetizing meals at an appetizing price.
Sun Valley Resort is on the slack special program with historic Trail Creek Cabin offering a dinner special and both Gretchen's and the Sun Valley Club inviting lunch patrons to enjoy the season with a price break.
Wednesday night, finding myself with nothing in the refrigerator and too tired to cook anyway, I decided to take the short drive to Trail Creek Cabin for their two entrees for $30 promotion. On the menu through November 2? Hungarian Beef Goulash, Spicy Cajun Gumbo, Vegetarian Lasagna as well as the full regular Trail Creek menu featuring locally sourced, seasonally appropriate fare.
Greeted by not one but two roaring fires on the brisk, almost-full-moon-lit October night, our group of five was quickly seated at a spacious, comfortable table. In short order, a big basket filled with Trail Creek Cabin's famous sweet scones and other breads was delivered. Two minutes later it was empty. Did I mention I brought all three of my children?
Surrounded by the flickering fire, rustic décor and tantalizing smells from the kitchen, my family's mood improved almost immediately. Conversation flowed and the day's happenings were compared as we perused the menu.
For me, the only problem with slack specials is that many of them, at many local restaurants, don't appeal to me. I am a pretty particular eater and, I am told, difficult to dine with. But there was something for everyone on the Trail Creek special menu. I found myself struggling to choose between the lasagna, the gumbo and a third special that evening, Idaho trout with seasonal vegetables. In the end, I went with the hearty gumbo as well as a cup of butternut squash soup with white beans. My dining companion opted for the trout special and everyone at the table ordered the soup. My children couldn't deviate from their Trail Creek favorite (and the most popular menu item) — a cowboy steak with onion rings and a loaded baked potato.
All the food arrived piping hot and plentiful. The soup was a creamy taste of the season. My gumbo offered just the right amount of kick and my friend's trout was fresh, light and full of flavor. Of course, the kids loved their steak, too.
For dessert, I downloaded coupons offering two-for-one, so we had to take advantage of that, too. Soon, two tall, frosty root beer floats arrived at the table, as did two warm chocolate lava cakes. They disappeared as quickly as the scones.
That evening, Trail Creek was bustling because even when Sun Valley is quiet, it's not that quiet. Romantic tables for two were interspersed with large party groups. Many diners wore their badges from the Jazz Festival that is in full swing at Sun Valley Resort.
Trail Creek Cabin is a special place. Just a few miles up the road from the Sun Valley Lodge, the historic building is cozy and inviting, harkening back to simpler times and feeling very much away from it all. Now, with the aspens glowing gold, the evening air cool and invigorating and dinner very affordable, it is the perfect time to make the sojourn to the cabin.
Be sure to reserve your table and enjoy a memorable meal by November 2.
Bon appétit!

The Fatty Acid Composition and Cyclopropene Fatty Acid Content of the Maturing Okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) Fruits
Berry, Shiv K. (1980) The Fatty Acid Composition and Cyclopropene Fatty Acid Content of the Maturing Okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) Fruits. Pertanika, 3 (2). pp. 82-86.
2091Kb |
Okra (Hibiscus esculentus, L.) fruits are consumed as vegetable throughout the world. The fatty acid composition of the fruits harvested on the 5th, 6th, 8th and 12th day after flowering was determined by gas liquid chromatography. As the fruits matured, C16:0 fatty acid content increased with a corresponding sharp decrease in C18:3 fatty acid concentration. The lipids in immature fruits contained C24:0 fatty acid, whereas the oil recovered from fully matured seeds had C21 :5 fatty acid instead. Cyclopropene fatty acids were not detected in the lipids of immature fruits, occurring only in small amounts in the oil of fully matured seeds.

Replied to baked apples with rum and cinnamon
Nov 23, 2014 on FoodNetwork.comReviewed Lemon-Garlic-Herb Chicken with Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus and Pesto 3 Bean Salad
Apr 4, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I decided to make this chicken dish at the last minute because I had all the ingredients on hand. OMG...it was out of this world! I did not have time to marinate the chicken as some suggested, so I was concerned I might be disappointed. I didn't even use all fresh herbs. The only fresh herb I had left in my garden that lived through this winter's..."

If you live in a region where the summers are hot and dry, such as inland Australia, a portable evaporative cooler can be a cheap and effective way to keep you cool over those long sunny days. However, if you live in a humid area, they won't be the most effective option. You may want to consider a portable air conditioner instead, or perhaps a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Evaporative coolers work by drawing hot, dry air across a wetting medium, typically made from a shredded wood composite or foam which is saturated with water from the unit's inbuilt water tank. The water evaporates, absorbing heat from the air, and the cooler but moister air is blown into the room. They're simple to operate; you just fill the water tank (and ice tray, if there is one) and turn it on. Because evaporative coolers need a constant source of hot dry air to work effectively, you need to leave a door or window open and position the unit near it. The open door or window also helps keep down the overall humidity in the room — the more humid the room, the less effective the cooler. Evaporative coolers work best in low-humidity areas (around 30% humidity or less), but they also work fairly well in moderate humidity (around 40–50%). In more humid climates, standard refrigerative air conditioners are more effective as they dehumidify the air, though they're also more expensive and bigger consumers of electricity. We bought all readily available portable evaporative coolers on the market — four Convair and three IXL models — and put them to the test. Our results show there can be big differences in performance; the recommended models are much better coolers than some of the others.
Please note: this information was current as of September 2008 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
(A) Discontinued; replaced by model 42058. (B) Exclusive to Betta Electrical; being discontinued but still available in some stores.
29 Oct 2014 | If you don't want to spend big bucks on air conditioning, ceiling fans offer a cheaper, energy-efficient cooling solution and the latest range also includes DC powered models.

I bought this to replace the tube of Poshe Cuticle Care I was finished using.
Let me first state outright that I love the fact that there are cuticle creams with AHA's, because without them I would be crying over my cuticles. I suffer from dry hands most of the time, and winter is unbearable if I don't happen to be carrying hand cream with me. I have even been know to stop at a drugstore just to get a small lotion or something just so my poor hands don't have to chap and bleed after hand washings.
So cuticle care is important to me, and this product does its job keeping them looking good tremendously well. I like it even better than Poshe's cuticle care cream. HG for me, and I like that it comes it a larger tube as well. I can't go without this for a day.

I am on my second tube of this stuff. I love it. A user on here says that they use it daily - it's safe to do, but it does seem a bit excessive.
Since using this stuff I no longer get hang nails, and my cuticles are all nice and neat. I DO NOT push my cuticles back. I just use this stuff, and it literally takes them and *erases* them. Love it.
Try it!

Wow! I was a loyal user of Poshe cuticle care for some time. I finally tried Cuticle Eraser. On my first use, I had better success pushing back my cuticles than I ever had with Poshe. I don't mind the light scent. I like that it is available in a 49 gram (1.75 ounce) tube.This lasts me several months and I apply Cuticle Eraser several times per day. I have also used it on my 9 year old son's raw cuticles with hangnails. Daily use on him caused a major improvement and did not hurt or irritate his tender spots. I keepitnext to my computer to apply frequently while surfing. Enjoy!

Everyone says this is awesome, and everyone is right. If you have dry cuticles, go get it. It helps. I also find it nice and gentle--even when I have cuts on my fingers, this stuff doesn't really burn. You also don't need to wipe it off or anything; it just moisturizes and gently exfoliates the dry skin around my cuticles. The smell is fine--pleasant and not overpowering--and I'm loving the packaging, because it's convenient and makes it very easy to squeeze out the perfect amount.

This thin white cream comes in a tube and contains AHAs to dissolve excess cuticle. I use it nightly and no longer have hangnails - my cuticles are smooth.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wanted to love this, but the AHA's in this formula were too strong & irritated my cuticles. I recommend trying Sally Hansen if you have the same problem.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great stuff! I use this nightly (with Lush Lemony Flutter) to keep my cuticles in great shape. I used to have trouble in the winter with my skin cracking at the corners of my nails, but not anymore. I buy the large tube from one of e-tailers reommended by the NB, so it's reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Oh my god, I love this stuff and I have to say a big thank you to all the lovely girls on the nail board for letting me know about this wonderful product.
I use this religiously every night, for more than a month now, and it has made a dramatic difference in the growth of my cuticles meaning they barely grow anymore. They just look neat and moisturized, I really could not be happier, now I use the regular cuticle remover maybe once a month, which is a dramatic difference, since I used to do it at least once a week.
My routine is to massage this in, wait a few minutes then top it off with cuticle oil and then some hand cream.

Let me preface this by saying that I went through a spell where I bit all of my gorgeous nails off and they looked hideous..really..
I heard about this on MUA and went straight to Ulta to get it. Although the price tag ($10.50 for a 0.5 oz tube) stressed me, I went ahead and got it. And I'm SOOO glad I did.
It really does what it says AND MORE. Around my cuticles where my nails just looked raggidy and jagged, it filled that in and makes it smooth and not so noticable.
I am totally babying my nails right now to get them to grow back out, and I swear this is one of the products that has been a life saver.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I didn't realize how much I liked this product until I misplaced my tube and went without it for two days. It really has made a big difference in how my cuticles and the surrounding skin look. I use it at least once a day, and they are so much less noticable and more smooth. The only thing I don't like about it is the smell, but I am becoming used to it! Very good product if your cuticles aren't in the best of shape.
