Corsair Force Series LS 240GB SSD
The turquoise and black package is my favorite from the Force series. Normally we try not to pick a favorite, but this color combination is really sharp. The front of the package gives us three feature bullet points and shows the 7mm z-height form factor. This is actually the first Force branded SSD from Corsair to get a 7mm case.
Inside the box, we found a drive four screws for installation and a paper manual.
Here we get our first look at the new Force Series LS 240GB. The drive actually has 256GB of flash inside the case, but a portion of that is reserved for over-provisioning.
The 7mm z-height form factor has the same mounting points as standard 9.5mm drives, so they fit well in notebooks.
Inside we found sixteen Toshiba Toggle NAND flash chips in a TSOP package. There are eight flash chips on each side.
Here we see the Phison S8 controller with a PSC 512MB DRAM buffer as close to the controller as physically possible.
Toshiba TSOP flash has less planes than Toshiba BGA flash, but it's cheaper to manufacture. All of the Phison controlled drives we've tested in a 2.5" form factor shipped with TSOP (the little fingers on the outside edge of the NAND flash).

Ever feel like techno-creep has got you down? Don't even know what that means? Well, check out the Word Spy and you'll at least solve the second problem, if not the first. Word Spy is a great website tracking the emergence of new words and phrases, often dealing with some aspect of techno-creep (the gradual encroachment of technology in everyday life), but sometimes just naming some new cultural phenomenon (like voluntourism, the growing trend of combining vacations with volunteer opportunities). Definitely worth checking out periodically, if only to keep up with pop culture.

Hi, Seventeen viewers. It's Michelle Phan here, and I'm gonna show you my favorite back-to-school makeup tip. All right. So, you're at school. And you're not really allowed to wear a lot of makeup. You can still cheat a little bit by wearing an eyeliner. I like to use colored eyeliner because it's a fun way to wear a pop of color without going overboard. All you have to do is take your favorite eyeliner color-- and this is the Em waterliner in the color turquoise. All you have to do is take your eyeliner. With your pinky finger, gently tug down your lower eye, and run the eyeliner along the lower lash line, and in to the waterline. So, this eyeliner was actually made to be placed on the waterline. And the formula was made to adhere to the waterline, so it doesn't slip and slide around. Line it like so, and feather it out. And then, slip the eyeliner on the other side. And you see here the smudger tool-- it comes with a built-in smudger. Very quickly, blend it out to create this beautiful cat-eye shape. It's a great way to help elongate the shape of your eyes. And if you want, you can even line the upper lash line. So, for my fun fuchsia color, I actually made it myself, using my Em shade play lip palette. So, you're gonna see right here. You can combine a lot of different colors, and you have a mixing well to create your colors. So, what I did was I took a little bit of the fuchsia, and I loaded it up with this muted color, and just dab it on your lips like so. Whatever is left over, you can just dab it on your cheeks. You don't wanna waste any products, right? If you're always on the go, and you need a little more drama to your face, try contouring. We have here the Chiaroscuro stick. It means shadow and light play in Italian. We have here the highlighting part and the contouring parts. The double-ended stick like so, it's really easy, and it blends beautifully. Take the shadow part and run this along the sides of your nose. In a sense, mapping it out. And you can even add a little along the sides of your cheekbones to contour. I know it looks a little funny, but I promise you it'll look better. Then, take the highlighting part, add this on your cupid's bow, and along high points on your cheeks. Now, you're not gonna leave the house like this. All you need to do, with your ring finger, is blend away. And it doesn't really take that much effort because it really does blend easily. The formula was made to easily blend on the go. There you have it. Three easy products you can fit in your school bag with a perfect face. All right, guys. Thank you so much for watching. Mwah. Take care.

Okay - let's get this rolling again. There's a story behind this one...
Dio - Finding The Sacred Heart. DVD format.
I bought this from Amazon when it was released. When I watched it, it locked up tighter than the vault where Paul keeps the good wood. I tried cleaning it with a Dr. Skip or something similar, but to no avail. I can see some sort of a blotch on the disc. Tried it in two players, locked up both times. So I bought a replacement.
Fast-forward a bit, my DVD player died so I had to replace it. Whilst cleaning up a bit, my wife came across the disc and asked me about it. I almost tossed it, but decided to give it a spin first. You know how this turns out - it played perfectly.
So, since my wife didn't buy my argument that two stereo DVDs makes one quadrophonic one, I'm going to move it to the first person who PMs me and wants it.

Hilarious Radio Transcript (apparently real)
Now I'm not from Sydney, but apparently this is 100% real, and is a transcript of what went to air recently. Pretty funny. Maybe it isn't real, but I CBF snopes'ing it.
This got the whole of Sydney laughing. Read it and you'll see why! Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney. The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called 'Mate Match'. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers 'yes', he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions..
The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with(phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same = three questions correctly, they both win the prize. The Harbour City dropped to its knees with laughter and is possibly the funniest thing you've heard yet. Anyway, here's how it all went down:
DJ: 'Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?'
Contestant: (laughing) 'Yes, I have.'
DJ: 'Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First only please.'
Contestant: 'Brian.'
DJ: 'Brian, are you married or what?'
Brian: (laughing nervously) 'Yes, I am married.'
DJ: 'Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please.'
Brian: 'Sara.'
DJ: 'Is Sara at work, Brian?'
Brian: 'She is gonna kill me.'
DJ: 'Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?'
Brian: (laughing) 'Yes, she's at work.'
DJ: 'Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?'
Brian: 'About 8 o'clock this morning.'
DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.'
Brian: (laughing sheepishly) 'Well...'
DJ: 'Question #2 - How long did it last?'
Brian: 'About 10 minutes.'
DJ: 'Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn't at stake.'
Brian: 'Yeah, that trip sure would be nice.'
DJ: 'Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning?
Brian: (laughing hard) 'I, ummm, I, well...'
DJ: 'This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?'
Brian: 'Not that it was all that great, but her mum is staying with us for couple of weeks...'
DJ: 'Uh huh...'
Brian: '...and the Mother-In-Law was in the shower at the time.'
DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.'
Brian: 'On the kitchen table.'
DJ: 'Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up.
You listen to this.'
[ 3 minutes of commercials follow. ]
DJ: 'Okay audience; let's call Sarah, shall we?' (Touch tones.....ringing....)
Clerk: 'Kinkos.'
DJ: 'Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?'
Clerk: 'This is she.'
DJ: 'Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now.'
Sarah: (laughing) 'A couple of hours?'
DJ: 'Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of 'Mate Match'?'
Sarah: 'No.'
DJ: 'Good!'
Brian: (laughing)
Sarah: (laughing) 'Brian, what the hell are you up to?'
Brian: (laughing) 'Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely honest.'
DJ: 'Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off to
the Gold Coast for 5 days on us.
Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.'
DJ: 'Alright. When did you last have sex, Sarah?'
Sarah: 'Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work.'
DJ: 'What time?'
Sarah: 'Around 8 this morning.'
DJ: 'Very good. Next question. How long did it last?'
Sarah: '12, 15 minutes maybe.'
DJ: 'Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect his manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away
from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?'
Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.'
DJ: 'Where did you have it?'
Sarah: 'OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that did you?'
Brian: 'Just tell him, honey.'
DJ: 'What is bothering you so much, Sarah?'
Sarah: 'Well...'
DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it?
Sarah: 'Up the arse.....'
They had to call an ambulance for the DJ he thought he was going to have a heart attack , he could not stop laughing. Apperently there was an unusually high call out of the Sydney Police just after this conversation , for minor traffic collisions.

Heh. I'm sure it's fake. That was a joke in a 2001 comedy sketch show in Belgium. For the dutchies among us: YouTube link to the clip.
There's some minor details changes, but the "format" and joke are identical.
I'm not saying they copy-catted it from this, since that would be impossible to prove, but it does somewhat indicate that it's a "known joke".

It's from an episode of a 70s game show called "The Newlywed Game." Every now and then VH1 or some network will run a "funniest game show moments!" special and that clip always is in the top 5.

Christopher Vaughn sentencing delayed as judge considers motion for new trial
BY JON SEIDEL, JANET LUNDQUIST AND DAN ROZEK Staff Reporters November 26, 2012 1:16PM
Related Stories
Updated: December 28, 2012 6:09AM
Drew Peterson's lawyers have already taken the heat for losing their client's own murder trial this summer.
Now Christopher Vaughn's attorney claims their over-the-top behavior — donning sunglasses and mugging daily for TV cameras while making jokes about the murder charges against their client — helped taint the trial next door of the Oswego man convicted of the shooting deaths of his 34-year-old wife Kimberly and their three children in June 2007.
George Lenard, Vaughn's defense counsel, made the novel argument while arguing for a new trial Monday on what was meant to be Vaughn's sentencing day. Because Vaughn, 38, faces no less than life in prison, and Illinois has no death penalty, the request for a new trial is Lenard's best hope for his client.
Will County Judge Daniel Rozak said he'd consider the request overnight, meaning family members and numerous witnesses who appeared in the courtroom must return Tuesday if they want to see the five-year-old case through to its conclusion.
Vaughn, who was clean-shaven and wore a suit throughout his trial, appeared in court Monday with a goatee and his hair buzzed short.
Outside the courtroom, his attorney said the comments and actions by Peterson's attorneys could have left Vaughn's jury distrustful of all defense attorneys.
"It didn't help," said Lenard, who himself is a former member of Peterson's defense team.
There's been a strange connection between the Vaughn and Peterson trials ever since they were scheduled earlier this year to begin three weeks apart. Testimony in the trials overlapped this summer in courtrooms directly neighboring each other. They also involved a few of the same witnesses, and for a time the men shared the same sentencing date — Monday. Peterson's sentencing hearing was delayed.
Lenard said Monday he never could have predicted the effects the Peterson trial could have on the Vaughn jury. He pointed to a question-and-answer session Peterson's lawyers held with reporters in which they cracked jokes about the disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.
"That gave criminal defense attorneys, all of us, a black eye," said Lenard, who described the actions by Peterson's media-hungry defense team as a "show."
Former Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky described the claims raised by Lenard as "just bizarre."
"When you don't have a good argument, you make a bad one," Brodsky said, adding jokingly: "I guess if it rains tomorrow, it's my fault."
Peterson defense lawyer Joseph Lopez compared it to other famous defense strategies of the past.
"Now you've got the guy playing the Peterson card," Lopez said.
But Lenard's bid for a new trial isn't tied entirely to the Peterson trial. He also said a man who went on to become the jury foreman in Vaughn's trial — attorney Dan Lachat — was indoctrinated during jury selection by a prosecutor who asked pointed questions about Lachat's children, what he'd do to protect them and whether he's familiar with guns.
Lachat was in Rozak's courtroom Monday, which Lenard called "unusual," but Lachat declined to speak to reporters.
Lenard also complained at length about the passionate closing argument made by Assistant State's Attorney Chris Regis at the end of Vaughn's trial. Lenard said he took issue when Regis used words like "ridiculous," "offensive," "shameful" and "embarrassing," to describe Lenard's own closing argument.
He also brought up a photo Regis took with jurors after the trial at a nearby bar in Joliet.
"I did not realize I am that stupid until I listened to Mr. Regis' rebuttal argument," Lenard said.
Finally, Lenard said the jury's verdict was suspect because it was reached in less than an hour after a five-week trial that featured more than 80 witnesses and more than 700 pieces of evidence.
"That tells me that there's something that went terribly wrong in the trial," Lenard said.
Assistant state's attorney Michael Fitzgerald told the judge Lenard has simply connected the dots between what the defense attorney failed to do — failing to object during portions of Regis' closing argument and the selection of Lachat for the jury, and failing to ask for a continuance after Peterson's trial was scheduled to begin so close to Vaughn's.
"It's unbelievable that the Drew Peterson case would find itself in the Christopher Vaughn case," Fitzgerald said.
Lenard later dismissed claims by prosecutors that the jury convicted Vaughn in less than an hour because the evidence against him was so strong.
"I don't know exactly what it is they were thinking, but 45 minutes, not asking for any exhibits, not wanting to hear any testimony, that's extremely rare," Lenard said. "I've never had that situation before."
Unless the judge rules in Vaughn's favor Tuesday, members of Kimberly Vaughn's family are expected to testify during the sentencing hearing about the pain of losing her and the children in a cold, calculated murder seemingly motivated by Vaughn's desire to go live in isolation in the Canadian wilderness.
Police found the bodies of Kimberly Vaughn, 12-year-old Abigayle, 11-year-old Cassandra and 8-year-old Blake in the family SUV on June 14, 2007. It was parked in a gravel drive off a frontage road west of Interstate 55. Christopher Vaughn was shot as well in his left wrist and thigh, and he eventually told police his wife shot him before she murdered the children and killed herself.
But prosecutors convinced the jury it was Vaughn who pulled off the expressway, got out of the car, shot his wife under her chin and then reached over her body to fire two bullets at close-range through each of his children.

Intel and Nokia to Stir Up Mobile Market
Market research firm Gartner sees Intel's mobile processor platform as a serious contender with Qualcomm and Texas Instruments due to its recent collaboration with Nokia.
Nokia and Intel are seeking a long-term partnership to develop new chipsets and device architectures for computers and mobile phones to produce a true mobile platform, as confirmed by a recent Intel press release. The partners hope to integrate mobile broadband and the widespread Internet connectivity to go beyond what is currently available for smart phones, netbooks and laptops. The partners are thereby expressing their commitment to mobile Linux software. Intel also wants to acquire a license for Nokia's HSPA/3G modem to use in future devices.
Gartner sees Intel's new venture as "a competitive threat to companies like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm." The High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology (known as Mobile Broadband with a nominal 7-MBits/second downlink) should give Intel's motherboards a breath of fresh air. The Gartner analysts even see a threat to proprietary vendors like Apple when heavy hitters like Intel and Nokia start adopting open standards and technologies.
The analysts advise both partners to combine their Moblin and Maemo efforts. Gartner VP Nick Jones told Linux Magazine that he hasn't seen Moblin or Maemo as serious market players so far. Android could, he says, profit better instead by running on Intel's Nokia-strengthened chips. The partnership nevertheless gives Intel and Nokia the chance to address application developers and also consumers by providing a broader palette of hardware.
According to the partner firms, Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo should profit separately from their open source collaboration. They want to invest their Linux-based platform work in mobile broadband projects such as oFono.org and the ConnMan.net connection manager, but also in Mozilla, X-Org and D-Bus.

UPDATED 1/30/2012 – Super Bowl Player Rankings
NFL.COM is extending the fantasy football season with their Fantasy Football Playoff Challenge and you can win Super Bowl Tickets. The point system and setup is just like fantasy football and you can use our playoff fantasy football rankings below to assist you with your line-up throughout the NFL playoff challenge, we will update them frequently.
The NFL regular season is over and we are now down to the last 4 teams who will be competing for glory in Super Bowl 46. This is an excellent cheat sheet to use if you have a playoff draft, which many do. Check back frequently for our updated NFL Super Bowl Fantasy Football Rankings.
We're breaking this down into two categories of rankings:
- Teams that you can only draft once per week, and you can only draft from an NFL team once during the playoffs.
- Rankings for straight up weekly NFL fantasy playoff drafts and the other various systems.
For those of you playing NFL.COMS playoff challenge here is my recommended line up.
NFL.COM Fantasy challenge Super Bowl Picks
- Eli Manning
- Ahmad Bradshaw
- BenJarvus Green-Ellis
- Wes Welker
- Hakeem Nicks
- Rob Gronkowski
- Stephen Gostkowski – Since Giants have stout Red Zone defense
- And of course the Giants Defense
Here are our Super Bowl Fantasy Rankings for straight up drafts and the other various scoring systems.
QB Super Bowl Fantasy Rankings
- Eli Manning – New York Giants (Eli is red hot and so is his defense, Brady is trending down after his poor performance against the Ravens.)
- Tom Brady – Patriots
RB Super Bowl Fantasy Rankings
- Ahmad Bradshaw – Giants
- BenJarvus Green-Ellis – Pats (Bradshaw is a safer pick but Ellis could have his number called more than normal, maybe he'll break one)
- Brandon Jacobs – Giants
- Patriots No. 2 when the Super Bowl inactives are out – Pick your poison with this one. Stevan Ridley was a healthy scratch in the AFC Championship Game due to fumble problems. That will leave Danny Woodhead and Kevin Faulk left to pick up the scraps. Either way, no one outside BGE is worth using.
WR Super Bowl Fantasy Rankings
- Wes Welker – Patriots
- Hakeem Nicks – Giants (He missed there last meeting, so he adds some surprise value)
- Victor Cruz – Giants
- Deion Branch – Patriots
- Mario Manningham – Giants
TE Super Bowl Fantasy Rankings
- Aaron Hernandez – Patriots
- Rob Gronkowski – Patriots
- Jake Ballard – New York Giants

Our Doulas
Susie Hoffman
Labor Doula
I have completed Labor & Birth Doula Training in May 2010. I have assisted in 4 births since completing my training. I am currently working towards my certification with DONA INT'L and a member since May 2010. I am on full time availability. My additional goals in my role as a Doula are to participate in a variety of birth experiences to learn from and share with my families and peers.
I am a native San Diegan. I have a son and 2 daughters and 8 grandchildren. Before becoming a Doula I have been fortunate to have assisted in more than a dozen births. Some were unmedicated, medicated, caesarean and high risk and some that were long and challenging.
I have known for many years that helping families have a positive birth experience is my "Passion". All expecting parents deserve to have the most positive birth experience possible. My contribution to help them achieve their goal is paramount. This goal also extends into the changes in the family dynamics when the family goes home. I am a woman who believes in empowering and supporting women during this special time in their lives so that the mother and her partner/family have a positive birth experience to remember.
My dedication to you, your family and your baby is to help make your labor and birth a beautiful memory to look back on and talk about for years to come.

November 9, 2012
This past year, I had the opportunity to foster a mother cat and her five kittens, which PAWS saved from the streets of Essex county. PAWS provided medical care and food for the cats. Once the kittens were weaned, PAWS found permanent homes for the mom and all of her kittens with loving and fully vetted families. I am amazed by the time PAWS volunteers give to the organization, helping cats and dogs in so many different ways.

"Thanks to my brother for passing this recipe along to me. I made it orginally for my son, but now make it for ME! To save calories I don't even add the cheese, and it's still great. Very warm and smooth. Sweet onions have been on sale, and when they are, the recipe comes out. Freezes great for lunches."
"These were brought into work for a potluck. They were a hit and the recipe was passed among us "bakers." At first it may look like there is too much raspberry, but use the 1 cup. You won't be dissapointed in these."
"I discovered steel cut oats about 3 years ago. A man in the store highly suggested them. I like the full flavor, and they do stick with you for a while for that full feeling. I usually make a bit more, and found I can microwave a bit for my morning work break. There is always a container in my cupboard."

I'm looking to buy a used utility trailer but I have no idea what's a fair price. The one I have my eye on is used but recently redone (new paint, new floor, good tires). It's a 12 foot tandem wheeled trailer with leaf springs. What's a fair price for it? Thanks for the help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Look at prices of similar new trailers at suppliers and catalogs. If the used trailer is in good condition, figure 50% of new price. Start bargaining less than this figure keeping in mind your top price. (If it is a nice trailer and you really want it, you have to go a bit higher.) If some repair is needed, reduce the price accordingly. Jack up each axle end and spin the wheels. Listen for bearing noise. It'll be a grinding like, grumbling noise. Good bearings are quiet. A common problem with trailer wheel bearings is water invasion, especially for boat trailers where the wheels get immersed during launch and take out time. A poor bearing will likely fail on a long trip at highway speeds. Before you finalize the deal, check out the lighting. Does the tail lights and signal lights work? Does the correct set of lamps flash when a turn signal is turned on? (I am assumomg that your tow vehicle is equipped with the proper setup to handle trailer lamps. If not, get it equipped before picking up the trailer.) Match capacities. The capacity of the vehicle hitch should equal or exceed the trailer and the tow vehicle must be rated to handle the trailer load. Same goes for braking. Match the hitch ball size to the railer's tounge. The trailer must have safety chains. Criss cross the safety chains and pass under the trailer tonge, e.g., the left chain goes under the tongue and hooks up to the riight side of the tow bar and the right chain goes under the tongue and fastens to the left side of the hitch. The object is in case the tongue comes off the hitch, the chains will cradle the tongue keeping it from digging into the street or soil - think stuffing the tounge into a pothole. Properly installed chains will keep the trailer fastened to the tow vehicle, yet not bind in a sharp turn, and will and prevent a run-away trailer. A loose trailer on a highway is a lethal object. and you are responsible for it. |

The latest proposed luxury rental apartment high-rise would be built on a former parking lot at 400 Marquette Av. S. in Minneapolis.
A third new luxury apartment tower could be poking into the downtown Minneapolis skyline.
An architectural firm hired by Mortenson Construction presented a preliminary plan for a high-rise to the Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association (DMNA) at a meeting Tuesday night.
Renderings show a tower with retail on the first floor and rentals on the upper floors to be built on a former surface parking lot at 400 Marquette Av. S. Mortenson and UrbanWorks Architecture aren't discussing details of the high-rise, but the proposed project would be next to a $100 million, 26-story luxury apartment tower called Nic on Fifth, and a nine-story building that will house the Xcel Energy headquarters. Both buildings are under construction by Opus Development Corp. Several blocks away in the Loring Park neighborhood, a Chicago developer is building a 36-story apartment tower slated for occupancy in late 2014.
DMNA chairman Gerry Ewald said the group's reaction to the tower's design was positive. "We love the idea of more people living downtown," he said.
The project comes at a time when there are already more than 2,000 apartments under construction in downtown Minneapolis. While the apartment vacancy rate in downtown Minneapolis has been near record lows, there's concern that too many market-rate units will come online within the next couple of years.
Still, it has been decades since downtown has had any significant new rental construction, let alone a new apartment tower, and such projects will help advance the Downtown Council's goal of doubling downtown's population by 2025.
The Downtown's Central Business District — where the proposed high-rise would be built — has garnered considerable attention among apartment developers because of its direct access to a light-rail transit stop and the sprawling downtown skyway system. Public records show that the owner of the parcel at 400 Marquette is LST Properties, which paid $6.55 million in 1984. The estimated market value of the one-third acre site is $1.5 million.
Construction is well underway on several significant apartment buildings that will attract several hundred new residents to downtown. The Soo Line Building City Apartments, a former office building, is being converted into 254 luxury units with a rooftop park. On Friday, Todd Phillips of TruCore Realty detailed his plan to convert the historic Plymouth Building at the corner of 6th Street and Hennepin Avenue into 252 rental apartments. That project is just blocks from 222 Hennepin, a $70 million mixed-use housing/retail development by Ryan Cos. that will include a Whole Foods store.
Phillips presented details of his plan for the Plymouth Building to DMNA board members, including Andrea Christenson, a vice president at Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Estate, who said such projects will help satisfy growing demand for urban living.
"I think you're going to see a lot of people say, 'We have a cabin up north and the kids are out of the house, and I don't want to take care of this big house.' "
With the supply of for-sale condominiums in downtown Minneapolis dwindling, there's been speculation that one or more of the proposed apartment buildings could be converted into condos. Only one downtown developer, Jim Stanton, has been willing to build condominiums. Financing such projects requires considerable advance sales before construction can begin. By contrast, apartment developers don't pre-lease units before construction begins.
Stanton has already presold 32 units at StoneBridge Condominiums in the Mill District, which is scheduled for occupancy in late summer 2014.

I've seen women wearing these around during winter and I've come to the conclusion that they can work but there are just two things you need to keep in mind.
- Dress for the weather. You may love your shorter pants, but if it's sleeting they're just not working. However, if it's a fine sunny cool day (like it is in Sydney today) you might be able to pull them off with a pair of ballet flats or heels.
- They look great with boots. This is the real way to take these pants into winter. A knee high pair of boots under the pants is an effective look. However, if you are wearing boots, don't wear slouchy ones, you need ones that emphasis your ankles. These pants are usually wider than normal and slouchy boots will just give you cankles; remember to contrast the volume.
Wear them and have fun, but just keep in mind the whole look has to work. Hmm, perhaps I'll wear them tomorrow.

'Nowhere Boy' Helmer Sam Taylor-Johnson to Direct 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
Posted on Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Briefly: Even a casual observer knows that women direct far fewer big Hollywood films than men. So it's interesting to see that the developing adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey — an extended S&M-lite sexual fantasy that has been decried as "mommy porn" as it tops sales charts — will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. She has made only one major feature, Nowhere Boy, from 2009.
We don't yet know much about plans that Focus is pulling together for the film, but if the movie is even vaguely as successful as the novel series, it'll be huge. Read More »

(Excerpt from Chapter 40:)
Sept. 13th 2009 – 5 Serpent (Chicchan) = Power to connect Earth with Heaven
I have been chosen by NASA to connect with our celestial / cosmic brothers and sisters since I am able to communicate with them telepathically. I sit in a glass round "bubble" (like an orb) just big enough to surround my physical body while sitting crouched. I am way up in space, the glass bubble connected to a crane, and I can see 360° all around me. The universe is revealed to me on all sides and I am enjoying its beauty at the same time as I am focusing on my mission: To bridge the communication between extra-terrestrials / angels and humanity.
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. ~ Lao Tzu ~
(Excerpt from Chapter 41:)
Jan. 11th 2010 – 8 Serpent (Chicchan) = Harmonious bridge from Earth to Heaven
There was a gigantic UFO in the sky that everyone could see. It was bigger than the ones from the movie "Independence Day", flat seen from below and rectangular. It had lights on the bottom (like most UFOs have) and bright light beams radiated out from them. I discovered that from where I lived I could walk along a path out in nature slowly upwards until I reached a (meter wide) wooden gangway. I stepped onto it and continued walking all the way up to the spaceship and stepped on board. It turned out to be a complete space station, built by both humans and our extra terrestrial family in a positive cooperation. "On board" it was so big and vast that it was more like a whole world of its own. I noticed that many of the dining areas that I passed offered mainly Asian food; Thai, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Sushi and so on. There were shops too but I didn't have time to look around much longer before I woke up.
A few months later I started dating a guy whom I had met on a couple of previous occasions and had felt very attracted to. He was from Tromøy like me, a tall and long-haired lead singer in a rock band, and we had mutual friends. Our relationship blossomed, becoming steady very soon, and we spent all our free time together. In July we travelled to England for the first half of our summer holiday and I was able to experience the star glyphs again. I hadn't been in one since 2006, and was almost feeling a kind of abstinence, as if my body or energy system needed the energy of the star glyphs. We visited the beautiful formation at Forest Hill that had been discovered on the summer solstice, and I lay down and absorbed the energy for a while.
Even though it was no longer "fresh", it calmed me, although I wasn't consciously restless, and I felt it was enough to "recharge my energetic batteries", so to speak. I loved it. I see it as a merkabah and a 3rd dimensional image of my star.[1] (See Categories: Star of Spirit)
Theo and I had travelled by car, and now we drove all over England, up and down the countryside of Wiltshire, visiting Stonehenge and Avebury, Glastonbury and the Tor, going all the way south as far as Torquay and as far north as Goathland, stopping in Liverpool and Leeds on our way. In Leeds we visited the place where I was born and the cemetery where my sister Anita's grave lies, combining these two natural parts of life, birth and death, within the same hour. Even the English weather was on the sunny side, so we had a wonderful time and I enjoyed plenty of fish and chips during the week we were there. On a deeper level I was once again experiencing an exchange of energy with the geographical areas I visited, as I absorbed the energy from England's part of Mother Earth, her sacred sites and powerful Ley lines, and left energetic traces of myself behind.
As you look at the photo[2] here, there is symbolism in every part of it. This happened completely unintentionally on my part. To begin with, note how the photo resembles the Tarot card VIII "Strength" (See Categories: Tarot). I am wearing a pink ("think pink") top with tiny little hearts all over it (= compassion, love for the little things) and the lion is black, showing I am still "in the dark", in hiding, and have not yet come forth openly. Next we see that there are signs for two pharmacies in the photo; one of them ties me to Earth, the other to the Stars. Symbolically a pharmacy is a representation of health and healing. The British Red Cross sign is the "St George's Cross" originally, and appeared as an emblem of England during the Middle Ages and the Crusades. It is one of the earliest known emblems representing England.
If I may be permitted to add a silent e to Boots, we get Bootes. Bootes is believed to be the most ancient constellation in the sky and the association I make here is my celestial origin. The brightest star in Bootes is Arcturus, which can be translated as "Bear Guard" as it indeed eternally circles the Bears Ursa Major and Ursa Minor around the North Pole. In addition to this connection, we have the name Arthur, which is thought to be derived from the Celtic "artos" meaning "bear", the Irish Gaelic "art" meaning "stone", or the Welsh term "arth gwyr," meaning "bear man." Arthur is the true king of England and the only one who can pull the sword from the stone. Remember my interaction with the bear at the age of nine? You will see the relevance of this and the connection when I talk of my bloodline later. (See Categories: Divine Bloodline)
Another sign says "Dorothy House" giving association to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Together with the current Mahanta I walked the Yellow Brick Road. This road is symbolic of what Eastern religions refer to as the "Middle Path", the Way of Balance / Equilibrium and Peace, which is the way I've always lived and show others how to do as well. The flower on the sign could easily refer to the Flower of Life, but we needn't overdo our interpretation. Finally the photo shows the text "Ready when you are" as a message from me to humanity regarding the issue of when I, be it as the Messiah or as an extra-terrestrial come openly forward. (See Categories: Mira*/Semjase)
But perhaps the most interesting event from our week in England is the star glyph that was reported on July 10th, just four days after I had been in the Forest Hill formation. Geometrically, it shows three Vesica Pisces forming a triple hexagon faintly laid out within a more distinct version of the same shape, intertwined in a way that draws one's immediate association to a crown of thorns, specifically the Crown of Thorns placed on Jesus' head. Also the Vesica Piscis itself is a symbol of a fish, and as such a reference to Christ.
Crown of Christ/ Miranda* (Maitreya). Guys Cliffe near Old Milverton, Warwickshire, July 10th 2010.[3]
After our week in England Theo and I travelled through Europe to my family's house in Hungary. We had barely crossed the border when Theo looked around at the surroundings and had a deja vu. He said: "I recognize this." And the whole time we were in Hungary Theo felt very much at home. It was also nice for him to take a break from all the car driving. Now we spent the next ten days relaxing, swimming in Lake Balaton and sunning ourselves under the warm Hungarian sun. We could even afford to dine out daily since Hungary has incredibly low rest-aurant prices, and we really enjoyed the remainder of our vacation before we had to return to Norway.
Shortly after I was back home again another star glyph formation illustrating Christ appeared in England, and it was divided in two parts.
Face of Christ/Miranda* (Maitreya). Wickham Green, North M4Berkshire, July 29th 2010.[4]
You can see the two crop circles on either side, North and South, of the M4 motorway. At first glance they may look like a random collection of dots, resembling a digital representation of some sort. But when the two circles are overlaid, they form a face very much like Christ's image on the Turin shroud. Now, one may wonder, why didn't the Star Beings just create this image with a single star glyph? Why complicate matters by using two, and placing them on either side of the M4? Well, it was to give the clue that the face is not just one, but two persons, two in one, and on either side of the M4 relates to one of each sex. The directions indicate a person from the South (Jesus) and one from the North (me). If we stretch this even further, the M4 may indicate the 4 Ms: Messiah Maitreya Mary Miranda*.

As soon as the warm summer days full of fishing out of Theo's boat and taking lovely walks in nature were becoming shorter, I started writing my book again. I intuitively felt that this was the last winter it would remain unfinished and so I was prepared to give it my top priority. I needed to focus my attention on this task, and since Theo was going through a process of self-discovery and needed time alone too, we ended our relationship but kept in touch as close friends.
Over the months as I wrote, I started to see signs that indicated the "outer world" was not only catching up with me, in that the Cosmic Christ Consciousness was spreading. I was also seeing signs that people of authority had found its original source; in other words, "they" had found me. Let me explain. When I set the Ripple in motion in 1996, no-one knew. The Wednesday group who were witnesses had not understood what they were seeing. Even though my records in the ward contained all the information of my actions back then, it was filed away like any other patient's file and not looked into in a deeper way. However, when I found or rather "was given" my ancient stone in Peru, this was not left unnoticed. Willaru[5] had been very interested in it and had even made a pencil trace of the writings on it. I had not for one minute thought that it would stop there, but had anticipated that he would show this to others and talk about how I had found it.
The way I saw it, he would show it to people he knew or whom he had heard of who might be able to interpret its message, or at least have some knowledge as to what it might mean. They would probably become intrigued as well. This is human nature. They would immediately see the ladder going up into Eternity, and even if they didn't decipher the whole image, they would most likely agree that the stone's message was about ascension. These are people from South America, and they know well of the Mayan Calendar and the time we're living in. And they would probably wonder, what on earth did the stone have to do with me? Willaru would tell them what he knew about me, and they would likely wish to know more. There must be a reason why I had been given the stone. Spirit wouldn't have given it to me only for it to be hidden away and forgotten, so there must be a purpose to me being its guardian. Was I perhaps one of their ancestors or one of the ascended Masters, reincarnated in the body of a white woman? Anything was possible, and the Indigenous people are open to unusual ideas because they are very much in tune with their intuition.
So it may have been decided among a group of elders that I was to be "watched" from a distance. I don't mean in any invading privacy-violating way, but rather, one could easily observe my movements through someone that hooked up with me as a friend on facebook, for instance, and who would give them reports of what I was doing from time to time. They might report what kind of material I posted on facebook, which causes I supported, the fact that I gave regular satsangs and full moon meditations and so on. Was I committed to a certain religion or political movement? Was I in any way for one thing and against another, thereby limiting myself to a dualistic viewpoint? Did I in any way show behaviour not worthy of a true Master? Nearly all of my movements were easy for anyone to observe should they want to, the point being to get a better picture of whom I might be, as a reincarnation of someone known or unknown whom they hoped to disclose by identifying my actions, values and interests. And in this way, they might learn more about the stone itself.
I hope I'm not coming across as overly self-important with what I'm saying here. But to me it made sense. It was logical. The ancient stone was of importance, and I'm sure the people who came to learn of its existence felt this too. And I was its guardian. Therefore, in my view, if all I had been through in my life up until now was because I was, in fact, the "Awaited One", then I knew that "the outer world" would have to acknowledge this in some way and at some point in time. This was precisely why I had kept silent for so long and couldn't talk about who I really was. It had to be seen by enough people without me doing anything particular that would "push" me onto the world. I couldn't just come out and say, "Oh, by the way, I'm the Messiah, Maitreya, Quetzalcoatl, White Buffalo Calf Woman …" or whichever figure you are expecting. Saying this as an unknown woman before the time was right would most likely have led to my message not being taken seriously, and this in turn would have completely jeopardized my mission. Therefore, simultaneously as I was preparing my emergence and writing this book where all is explained in its entirety, I was aware that Spirit was likewise carefully preparing the world on its end for my emergence. Naturally and logically, it went both ways.
So, let's say for the sake of argument that I was being watched from a distance. As more and more people began to get involved, perhaps calculating my chart (the birth data is available on my website) and my numerological values just as I have done in this book, it may have become clear to those watching that I was "important", even though they perhaps still didn't know my purpose with the stone or what it was about. Imagine the world is in a delicate state (which it is) and you need to have information about certain people because you wonder whether they might be up to something, not necessarily good, and yet you have no idea what that something is. What would you do? Well, those with the necessary authority could dig deeper, going beyond open and available information, if they contacted people with even higher clearance, explaining that I was "worth investigating".
This is a good thing, because this is how authorities manage to locate extreme groups and terrorists and often succeed in preventing them from achieving their destructive goals. In my case, I'm not saying this because I'm paranoid and I think they're "out to get me". On the contrary, my notion of being under surveillance (whether I have been or not) has provided me with a feeling of safety and protection, as if I was a classified subject, whom only certain initiated people knew of, that was to be kept guarded and secret until further notice. Remember the movie "The Secret" about the Law of Attraction? What about World's much greater Secret? The initiator of the Law of Attraction, temporarily considered to be an unknown factor, a Keeper of an ancient stone?
You must remember that even people in high positions of power, such as presidents of countries and military leaders aren't free to act on their own; they need to discuss important matters with other high-ranking people in power. Then a decision is made, either by consensus in the group or by the leader of that group if he or she has the final word. Now, how do you think this person makes his or her decision? What I'm asking you to consider is: Where does the chief authority or head in charge get his or her guidance from if there are no others (human or cosmic) above him or her, and he/she is at the absolute top? The answer is: From within, of course. Whether the decision is made from the head or the heart, or preferably a perfect combination of the two, it is made from within, thus by the influence of Spirit at whatever level that person listens to Spirit's inward guidance.
I'm offering this as a suggestion of how Spirit on a practical 3rd dimensional level may have orchestrated things in order to prepare people in power of my presence and emergence, just as Spirit had awakened and prepared people spiritually. To sum it up, while I was waiting for the time to be right, writing and preparing myself in secret, the trail leading from the finding of my stone in 2001 had gone from people in Peru to authorities elsewhere, most likely Norway, USA and England, and I was and have been for a while now "on their radar".
In addition to how the ripple effect affects people who are spiritually inclined to wake up to their "I AM presence", there is another side of the ripple effect that brings awareness to people of a more rational mind. These people can learn of my presence in a way that is non-threatening and with the sense of still being in control. One way these people would dig deeper into finding out more about me would naturally be through all kinds of personal records. The first thing they would do was check my medical files. Was there anything different or abnormal about me? What if I'm an extra-terrestrial? It's really interesting that in the movie "Ultraviolet" it is precisely the retinas and metabolic sensing that are checked on Milla Jovovich's character in order to determine whether she is human or alien. These are the very same body areas that I have had so much trouble with. Even though the detachments on my retinas were discovered already back in 1981 and I wasn't checked as a potential "alien" at the time, the doctors were mystified as to what had caused this condition in a 15 year-old. Likewise, my gastric problems began already as an infant with gastroenteritis, and I began to have problems again when I had my severe anemia during my "seven operations in nine months – period".
Remember when I had my endoscopy (EGD) and laparoscopy in 2006? Well, there are two types of laparoscope: One is a telescopic rod lens system, that is usually connected to a video camera (single chip or three chip); the other is a digital laparoscope where the charge-coupled device is placed at the end of the laparoscope, eliminating the rod lens system. I don't know which one was used in my case, but either way, a camera was involved. Once again, I assure you that I'm not paranoid. I'm trying to prove a point here. If one wished to monitor not only my movements, but also my pulse, heart rate, energy level, feelings etc. who is to say that some telescopic device was not only inserted into my abdomen, close to where the nervous system is at its strongest, but even left there to continue to monitor me from the inside?
Think about it. If you really were suspicious that a humanoid, an extra-terrestrial in human form, was living among humanity, very likely in telepathic connection with other E.T.s, especially since the UFO sightings have increased dramatically lately, wouldn't this be a perfect method of surveillance? I'm not asking you to believe that this was or is the case. I just wish for us to look at this as something that could have taken place. Even though it may seem improbable it's not impossible, that's the point.
To offer another theory; I might also have been monitored through telepathy. There are many telepathic persons in the world, and I'm sure the authorities could find someone able to tune in to my thoughts. On a higher level, anyone simply listening to their inner guidance (Spirit) would be led to me in any case, one way or another. And finally there's my laptop. It wouldn't take a hacker long to have access to all my files, and "they" would be able to see everything that I was writing. It would be an excellent way of knowing what my intentions are, since I'm disclosing everything in this book, and they would also be able to estimate how close I was to finishing by observing the dates. The more they learned of my humanity, spirituality and galactic beingness, the more they would understand, and their observing me from a distance would not be so much for their safety but for mine. They would realize the importance of allowing me to come forth in my own time, and would not contact me directly as this might bring the timing out of balance. Remember, we are talking about people who are experts in their fields. They would know to give me the necessary time I needed to prepare myself. This is why people like Steven Greer[6] and many others are saying that E.T. contact is imminent, yet no-one is revealing exactly when. Well, how can they? They don't know! Even I don't know the exact date I will come forth because it depends on when this book is published and the events that will follow after that.
Whether or not I have been under surveillance is not relevant to my story. I'm just telling you how it has felt on my part. I hope that writing this will also clarify why many patients with the bipolar disorder experience paranoia in the sense of feeling watched and being frightened by this. You must understand that in heightened states of consciousness we feel a connection with those on the higher/inner planes even if we can't see them, and the connection is real. But when fear is mixed into the equation, this becomes a negative form of paranoia. In my case when there is no fear involved, only love, I too feel the connection and have the sense of being watched. But for me it could just as well be my galactic family watching over me, or Spirit in a more intimate way than usual or, as I have shown, the authorities for my own safety and protection.
For many years I have felt as if I am the omniscient ever-watchful Eye, not in the sky, but here on Earth among you, observing humanity's unfolding. It may be hard to comprehend, but I've felt very alien to people in the sense that I see and understand everything from a higher level and am surprised now and then when others do not, even though I understand that that's just the way it is. For instance, you can imagine how I feel when my father speaks to me about Jesus and quotes passages from the bible. Inwardly my thoughts are "Dad, I'm right here!" Or when people talk to me about political and spiritual matters, and I not only already know deeply all about the subjects but even see how they may be implemented in society in the future. Also, there may be articles I read that to me are elementary and self-evident, and yet they're written as if they contained revolutionary new ideas. All of this makes me feel like I'm thousands of years old watching children at the age of 10, just starting to reflect on life.
This is strange and weird on the one hand, but on the other hand it also fills me with joy because it shows me that you are listening to your Inner voices, where I as Spirit reside, and you are resonating with this guidance. I have been meeting with you in the dream state and inspiring you from within also when you are awake. I have communicated via internet, facebook and youtube streams and was grateful when I finally saw signs of my constant signal being received. Strange comments on Facebook caught my attention. Then I started to comment more directly and openly, going straight to authorities in power positions, such as: "The White House" on youtube and on facebook. My profile on facebook shows my full name, but on youtube I have the username SpiritDharma. If one views my profile, my full name is open for all to see there as well. This is to show that I believe in transparency and openness and that, even though I am currently in hiding, I have nothing to hide.
The Valkyrie
I'm in hiding
It is not time.
Brunnhilde was I,
Valkyrie among the gods
With passion and fire.
Siegfried took my armour,
Tamed me human.
Miranda* I am now,
Valkyrie among humans.
With passion and fire
I put on my armour
Goddess, I prepare.
Waiting in hiding,
I grow stronger.
It is not time.
Very soon.

Motion Controller
Hybrid Play morphs playgrounds into mobile game controllers
Playgrounds may seem old school to some kids when compared to the latest video games, but Hybrid Play's interactive game system turns swing sets and seesaws into games controllers through a mobile app available for iOS and Android devices. The company hopes this open-source, customizable toy will encourage kids to play outside more and spur social interaction. Read More
Though 3D printers themselves are becoming more affordable, the complexities of 3D modeling software have also proven a hurdle to entry to the consumer market. While some companies have sought to enhance their mainstream appeal with catalogs of pre-designed printable objects, others are taking a more hands-on approach. Virtual reality firm Sixense, which this week announced its motion controlled solution for 3D modeling called MakeVR, hopes to make the design process more intuitive and appealing for the average user. Read More
Motion-tracking systems like Wii and Kinect have certainly changed the way we play video games – among other things – but some people still complain that there's too much of a lag between real-world player movements and the corresponding in-game movements of the characters. The creators of the experimental Lumitrack system, however, claim that it has much less lag time than existing systems ... plus it's highly accurate and should be cheap to commercialize. Read More
Hot on the heels of the Leap Motion Controller, which began shipping last week, Leap Motion has released the accompanying software. The software allows people to control their computers with natural movements, detecting both hand and finger movements. In addition, the company launched its Airspace store which includes apps specifically designed for use with the device. Read More
When we first checked in on the Omni, an omnidirectional treadmill from Virtuix designed to translate the user's physical movements into a virtual world, the company was hoping to launch a Kickstarter campaign in May. It missed that target, but only just, with a launch on June 4. The campaign target has already been exceeded many times over, meaning backers could be getting physical within virtual worlds by January 2014. Read More
The Xbox One may have hogged the spotlight, but the next-gen console wasn't the only piece of new hardware Microsoft unveiled this past week. The company also announced a next generation version of its Kinect for Windows sensor. Built around the same set of technologies as the Xbox One's new Kinect sensor, the new Kinect for Windows sensor and software development kit (SDK) are aimed more at businesses and organizations than individual consumers. Read More
Leap Motion is on its way. With the clock ticking down to the PC gesture controller's July 22 launch, Leap has a brand new teaser video that showcases the device's interaction with Windows. If you'd forgotten how exciting Leap was when we first got the chance to play with it, this might be enough to get your blood pumping again. Read More
Omni-directional treadmills promise to take things a stationary step further than current motion controllers, such as the Wii-mote, PlayStation Move and Microsoft Kinect, by translating movements to an onscreen avatar as users walk and run on the spot. The Omni from Virtuix is one such treadmill aimed at home users and its creators recently demonstrated its use with the Oculus Rift, providing a tantalizing glimpse of its potential to provide an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience and really get gamers moving. Read More
It hasn't even been released yet but the Leap Motion could already be considered something of a success – at least with PC manufacturers. Following in the footsteps of Asus, who announced in January that it would bundle the 3D motion controller with some of its PCs, the world's biggest PC manufacturer has joined the gesture control party. But HP has gone one step further, promising to build the Leap Motion technology into some future HP devices. Read More
Controlling a computer with a mouse is so last decade. Products like the Leap Motion are on the forefront for using a 3D space to control a PC, and Microsoft's Kinect is bringing similar technology to the gaming world. A new product called the DUO is entering the fray, but with the key difference being that it includes an open source SDK and is available as a DIY product for more adventurous users. Read More

MEDFORD, Ore. — Wells Fargo is supporting the typhoon and flood relief effort by giving $125,000 to the American Red Cross and $125,000 to the International Medical Corps.
Southern Oregonians are also reaching out to help those impacted by the typhoon. Providence Medford Medical Center is one of several places receiving calls, asking for help sending help to those victims.
There are several organizations that specifically send money directly to the people in need and providence is helping collect money to be passed along to those organizations.
"I think all of us know someone who's affected in some way and so were looking for a way to make it better. Finding these organizations and helping push people to the right one is the best way we can come up with to really make sure people are helping," said Hillary Brown at Providence Medford Medical Center.
Four recommended donation-collecting organizations are the Catholic Relief Services, UNICEF, the Red Cross, or Mercy Corp. These groups have relationships with the Philippines already.

Ben-Naim is New Editor of PRE
Eli Ben-Naim
Ben-Naim succeeds Gary Grest of Sandia National Laboratories, who held the position since 2002.
"Eli definitely has the qualifications and broad research interests that the PRE editorship requires," said Gene Sprouse, APS Editor in Chief. "His prior involvement with PRE and his strong editorial experience with other journals were also very compelling."
Physical Review E is the APS journal covering statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics. Ben-Naim is a theoretical physicist whose own research has focused on the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of interacting particle systems and its application to soft matter and complex systems.

The Little Black Dress
This is a simple little black dress that is sexy and does a great job concealing extra bulges (ie., the tummy). I'm normally an xs in Bebe dresses but I purchased an xxs and it was fine; albeit very tight (but sexy!)
July 7, 2013
As a true XL girl i'm so glad Bebe made a dress to fit this great! The ruched front of the dress hides the little tummy if you have a baby one. Dress lays on your body so well shows all curves!
May 21, 2013
I love this dress. It definitely does hug your curves, but is also very flattering with the ruching. I will be wearing this to vegas next month! I love it! I'm 5'7 160lbs and the dress it above my knee!
May 1, 2013

OMG...Feel n Luv wit the dress when i seen it online..Had to have it!!:) Received it was not disappointed...Hugs all the right curves,even gives u a tummy tuck if u have a tummy.Can't wait to wear it on my B-Day:):)

Absolutely adorable dress
I love this dress sooo much I didn't want to take it off. It is super sexy and it complements your curves. I am 5.5 and weight 140lbs. I have curves and a big butt. 34C. The size S fits like a glove. The dress is made of super soft material and it hugs your body without being too tight. The dress will make you look sexy even if you don't have a perfect abdomen. The delicate ruching help hide these small imperfeccions. If you have large bust I recomend you go up a size. There is a long sleeves version of this dress, if you don't have skinny arms I recomend you go up a size. The length is perfect, not too short. Overall the dress is a must-have.
