This is a version of one of my versions of cioppino. Cioppino can be described as a seafood stew or soup and is an Italian dish. There are many different recipes floating around and there is no wrong or right way to do it when you think about it... I just think if you dont add garlic you ruin it ;) -dont forget to laugh! My grandfather was from Italy so there are some italian foods that I can make... This is my version of one that I LOVED growing up. This is a single serving dinner or lunch. It is great when you serve it with toasted whole wheat bread to dip with. It takes just under 20 minutes to make. The calories are low enough that you can add your own little twists for a personal cioppino spin-off of your own! Carbs: 12.8g | Fat: 6.5g | Fiber: 1.5g | Protein: 23.3g | Calories: 204.2

(buttercream vs. RI.... consistency, tips. etc...) This cake is similar to what I'm talking about.

Ulteo declares a desktop revolution
The top-secret Ulteo project aims for the goal of the world's easiest Linux.
Several Linux systems have debuted over the last few years with the promise of making Linux easier for the ordinary user. The latest of these desktop debutantes is a mysterious Linux known as Ulteo. Ulteo is the brainchild of Mandrake Linux founder Gaël Duval, who was recently ousted from the corporation that now calls itself Mandriva. According to Duval, Ulteo is not just user friendly, but actually represents a whole new paradigm that will change the way we think about Linux.

Wednesday Watercooler (#ArtOutside)
8:00 pm in Watercooler by Kit OConnell
My next several watercoolers highlight some of my favorite musicians from this year's Art Outside. I'll be devoting longer coverage to some of the festival's most interesting art in upcoming Saturday Art features.
Last year I shared a brief interview with Katie Gray. This time I was particularly taken by Sea Stars, a duo combining Gray's talents with the equally musical Kurt Baumann. About the band's name they say:
The name 'Sea Stars' symbolizes the celestial (stars) and fluid (sea) rhythm of the heart and the sounds that stem from it. Though the name is commonly confused with the popular ocean crustacean, Kurt and Katie are completely comfortable being associated with such a lovely little sea creature.
Sea Stars were the first act I caught. Someone had placed a beaten up, antique couch near the Folk It Up stage, and sitting with a camp mate while Gray's beautiful vocals, supported by the pair on guitars, floated up through the lit trees of the stage's clearing was a beautiful way to start my weekend. At the end of their set, I bought their new album The Unknown without hesitation.
Have you heard any good music lately?
Got questions or something on your mind? The Watercooler is an open conversation.

Williams wins 2nd straight Family CircleBy PETE IACOBELLI
The Associated Press | April 08,2013AP Photo
Serena Williams celebrates with the ball boys and ball girls after winning the Family Circle Cup against Jelena Jankovic in Charleston, S.C., Sunday.CHARLESTON, S.C. Serena Williams rallied past Jelena Jankovic 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 on Sunday to win her 15th straight match and second consecutive title at the Family Circle Cup.
It was the second straight tournament where the top-ranked Williams dropped the opening set in the final before digging in for victory. A week ago, she lost 6-4 to Maria Sharapova and then won 12 of the next 15 games to win the Sony Open.
This time, Williams had her serve broken twice and lost her first set of the match. Things turned at the start of the second set with a testy exchange between the competitors as Williams complained about Jankovic serving before she was ready. Williams used the dispute to fire up her play, winning six straight games and 12 of the final 14.
Williams earned $125,000 for her third Family Circle Cup crown, also winning here in 2008 and 2012.
She had hoped last years clay-court victory on Billie Jean King Court would spur a big run to a second French Open crown. Instead, Williams was stunningly knocked out at Roland Garros in the opening round by then 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano.
This year, my goal is to win a match at the French Open, she joked after the match.
Williams should be favored whenever she plays, especially when provoked like it looked against Jankovic.
The 28-year-old former No. 1 served to open the second set while Williams held her racquet in front to signal she wasnt ready. During the next changeover, Jankovic asked chair umpire Kader Nouni how long she needed to wait before serving.
Until Im ready, Williams shot back.
The exchange seemed to fire up the 31-year-old Willams, who had looked sluggish and off her game in losing the first set. She broke Jankovic to start the second set, then won her service game at love to start things rolling.
Before Jankovic could regain her footing, Williams rolled to a 6-0 victory.
Jankovic said the dispute took away her focus.
I gave her wins. I let her back in the match, Jankovic said. That was my mistake.
Jankovic led 1-0 in the third set, but Williams took the next three games to regain control.
Williams pounded in a 110 mph serve that drove Jankovic wide and then put away the ball near the net to take the match.
Any hard feelings didnt seem to last.
Jankovic met Williams with a big smile at the net as the two exchanged good wishes. When the stadium announcer asked the crowd to acknowledge Jankovics strong play as she left, Williams joined fans in applauding.
For Williams, it was her 49th career singles title, moving within four of Monica Seles for ninth place on the WTAs all-time list. It wasnt the easiest run to the top, though. Midweek rain wiped out much of Thursdays schedule, meaning Williams had to win twice on Friday to make to the semifinals.
Once there, Williams had to face big sister Venus and responded with a 6-1, 6-2 victory, the most one-sided match in the siblings long rivalry.MORE IN Wire SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C. Full StoryNASHVILLE, Tenn. Full StoryPHOENIX Darrelle Revis long reigned supreme among NFL cornerbacks. Full Story -

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
@acronis: Sweet Tooth has everything that J2T Reward Points has plus a tonne more. We had to create a WIKI to list all the Sweet Tooth features.
Here are a few things that Sweet Tooth has that other extensions do not have:
- Robust rule system: ORGANIZE by which products will produce rewards and how much by Category, SKU, cost or any other product property. Everything you can do with the base Magento price rule system we've adopted to allow you to give points instead of the discount. (see WIKI for many of them) - Entire customer's reward points section for customers to manage their points. - : Includes an automatically mini rewards catalog - : Includes the ability to send points to friends - Points slider to gives customers the power to choose how many points to spend - More customer-behavior-based ways customers can earn points - : The way customers earn points can be customized to the max as a rule (by date, customer group, etc). - : Reward customers for rating and reviewing products, signing up, voting in polls, telling friends about a product, signing up to the newsletter, making product tags, etc. - Many more front-end display mechanisms so customers know what will earn them some points and how much. For example: "You will earn 100 XYZ points for writing a review for this product". - Much higher control over uniqueness of "points" currency - : Points image "currency" generator - create your own representations of points - : Customize the language of points easily by modifying one template file: instead of saying "100 Points" say "100 Gold Pieces" - HUGE usage of template system to allow for maximal customization (there are at least 80 different templates you can customize on the front-end alone!) - Mass customer management system: distribute points to an entire customer group, an entire customer country, etc. - In the back-end, there is a points tab in the Order View screen and in the Customer View screen so you can quickly see associated points and points histories in the back-end. - Highly Object Oriented, open source coding structure for maximal customization, expandability and simplified debugging. - Sweet Tooth API for easy extensibility. And the list honestly goes on… but I feed like I've already answered your question by now . The feature list on the Sweet Tooth WIKI really lists most of the features in detail. The FAQ might also be useful as well as the The Sweet Tooth Reward Points main site.
We're constantly working on improving by accepting new suggestions and adding new features. The Road Map shows this. You can send me an e-mail if you're still curious and I'll do my best to answer. Cheers!
My product subscription module is working greatly and it will work perfect on shop where customers are looking for selling magzinees or such products which needs renewal on scheduled interval....................
At my end I am able to Notify the customer that which product is going to expire on which date and also it sends reminding email to them as reminder as well then can see on their dashboard that which product is going to expiry so then can renewal it. IF they will renewal the product before expiry date then it automatically get the no. of days remains and add them to server so its sooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. PM me if anyone is interested and I am sure that most of the shops needs this feature as I don't have time to put this as an extension.. I will the helping hand..................
I don't like extensions companies doing there advertisement here and stealing ideas to make extensions… dang
sory for my bad english

The Day My Gay BFF And I Became Lovers
By lemondrop
Bored one summer in the early 2000s, my best friend Allie suggested we take a road trip. She also suggested that our friend Lane come. Lane, in my memory, was a very gay raver-type who moved back in with his far away family a few months before to save money. We had been pals but not super close, but I remember loving his wit and his silly, sparkly style. lemondrop: When Making New Friends Feels a Lot Like Dating
So imagine my surprise when we met up with him to talk about our road trip and he was suddenly covered in tattoos, and looking more punk rock tough than raver girlie. He looked like a badass straight guy, and one you that would totally defend your honor in a bar. He complimented my platinum hair, and—even though that's pretty standard for a gay boyfriend—something about the way he said it alerted my flirt antenna. The idea was so ridiculous that I couldn't even ask Allie if she thought Lane was flirting with me. And yet... lemondrop: When Flirting Goes Too Far

What Magazines Won't Tell You About Dating
If you've browsed the magazine racks at your local bookstore or surfed the web, you know that there's a LOT of dating advice out there. There are how to's for using body language to get and impress a date, lists of words and phrases to say (and not to say) and much much more.
Women are often told to lose extra pounds, get a wardrobe and hair makeover, don't be too forward or too smart, but do be sexy, interesting and inviting. Men are advised to be strong but not macho, take charge but be sensitive, bulk up your biceps and tone your abs and dress and drive to show how much of a success you are.
You can drive yourself crazy and end up feeling like you have zero chance attracting the kinds of dates you want if you try to follow this advice.
To sum up...
In general, magazines send the message that, in order to get dates and/or a relationship, you've got to make some major changes in your body, your manner of speaking, your interests, your spending and other areas of your life. We don't think finding love has to be such hard (and maybe impossible) work!
It can actually be very simple.
To attract someone who is a match for you, be the best you can be.
"Sure," you're thinking. You've heard this one before. Maybe it was your mom who consoled you when you felt miserable, unpopular and ignored by your biggest crush. She (or someone else in your life) may have told you to just "be yourself" and the right person for you will come along.
Well, your mom was right.
When you step into your authentic self and really live at the highest potential you can at this time, then you're going to shine. No, you won't be perfect, but you're going to be someone who is interesting and attractive to others-- maybe not everybody, but the right partner for you.
When your guiding principle is to be at your best, you won't have to force yourself or try to pretend that you're something you're not. You do what needs to be done to tap into that amazing-ness that is you and then attracting love happens naturally and easily.
If all of this sounds like it will never work for you, try these 3 tips...
1. Identify your strengths.
You might think you know what your best attributes are, but you're probably missing some things. Take the time to observe yourself. Look at what you're really good at doing and your physical positives too. For some people this feel uncomfortable. They worry about being narcissistic.
The point here is not to put others down or make yourself superior, it's about celebrating everything about you that your potential partner might appreciate and adore. When you recognize your strengths, you're shifting your focus to what you like and what you'd like to keep developing about yourself. This exercise also boosts confidence, which is an essential part of being your best.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits he's a big admirer of Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho.
Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "He has, for want of a better word, a real charisma and that certainly helps make him so good. As managers though, we sometimes react under pressure, we can't always keep our cool — and Jose is no different in that respect.
"Yes, he's had the all the ingredients for success at Chelsea but that doesn't guarantee anything. With Jose, if you give him the tools, he will deliver.
"Because of his personality, he will inevitably attract attention and that can be valuable because he can — and does — deflect the spotlight onto himself and away from his players.
"Sir Alex Ferguson used to do it in perhaps more of a confrontational manner but either way it leaves their players to get on with the job which is what they're paid to do.
"Jose seems to thrive under the pressure which, if you're not careful at this level, can find you out."

Archibald the Grim, also known as Blak (Black) Archibald (c. 1328-1400), Earl of Douglas, Earl of Wigtown, Lord of Douglas, Lord of Bothwell and Lord of Galloway, was a late medieval Scottish nobleman.
Archibald the Grim was a bastard son by an unknown mother of Sir James Douglas, Robert I's trusted deputy.
A cousin of William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, he inherited the earldom of Douglas and its entailed estates as the third earl following the death without issue of James 2nd Earl of Douglas at the Battle of Otterburn.
Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas was also known as Archibald 'the Grim'. He fought in the Battle of Poitiers on 19 September 1356.3 He held the office of Lord Warden of the Marches between 1368 and 1400.3 He succeeded to the title of 3rd Earl of Douglas [S., 1358] on 14 August 1388.1 He was conservator of a peace with the English on 16 July 1390.3
From "The Douglas Archives":
Douglas, Archibald [called Archibald the Grim, Archibald the Terrible], lord of Galloway and third earl of Douglas (c.1320–1400), magnate, was the illegitimate son of Sir James Douglas, lord of Douglas (d. 1330). He took his third nickname from his and his father's dark complexions. As lord of Galloway and earl of Douglas Archibald was the effective founder of the Black Douglas dynasty which dominated southern Scotland between 1388 and 1455: he had two legitimate sons, Archibald Douglas, fourth earl of Douglas, and James Douglas, seventh earl of Douglas and first earl of Avondale, and one illegitimate son, William Douglas, lord of Nithsdale.
Early advancement
Despite his later success, information on Archibald's origins and early life is extremely limited. He was probably born about 1320 and, to escape capture by the English, he may have been sent to France along with his cousin William Douglas, future first earl of Douglas, and David II. Although after the death of his half-brother, William Douglas, in 1333, Archibald was the only surviving son of the famous James Douglas, as a bastard he was initially excluded from any rights to the extensive lands of his father. This changed in 1342, when Archibald appears for the first time in contemporary records, being named as a possible heir to the Douglas estates. His inclusion was almost certainly the work of his distant cousin Sir William Douglas of Lothian, in whose interests the entail of 1342 was drawn up. While the document did not achieve its intended purpose in 1342, namely the diversion of the family lands to Sir William, forty-six years later Archibald used it to claim the principal Douglas estates.
In the decade from 1342 Archibald Douglas followed Sir William, witnessing one of his charters (in which he is named as a kinsman) and visiting England as his agent and servant. The death of his master at the hands of William, first earl of Douglas, in 1353 led Archibald to enter the latter's following. It was with the earl that Archibald fought for the French at Poitiers in 1356, when he escaped capture only through the efforts of a fellow knight, William Ramsay. However, the next year Archibald was taken prisoner, again as an accidental consequence of the actions of Earl William. The earl seized Hermitage Castle in Liddesdale while Archibald was visiting England, and in revenge he was detained by the English. His release was probably connected to the liberation of David II from captivity in late 1357. If so, it formed the basis of a lasting alliance between the king and Archibald. Although he continued to appear in Earl William's entourage during the late 1350s, from 1360 Archibald was moving into royal service, acting as the king's sheriff of Edinburgh and keeper of Edinburgh Castle. Adherence to the king earned Archibald his first significant estates. David II's influence was behind Archibald's marriage to Joanna Murray (d. after 1401) in 1362, which then brought Douglas not just Joanna's own estates, but also the lands of her first husband and cousin, Thomas Murray. By 1371 these included the baronies of Duffus, Petty, Balvenie, and Aberdour in north-east Scotland and the lordships of Bothwell and Drumsargard and a number of other baronies in Lower Clydesdale, providing Archibald with the status and resources of a major magnate. Bothwell became Archibald's favourite residence.
Royal patronage also made rivals for Archibald, among them Robert Stewart and William, earl of Douglas. When these two led a rebellion against David II in 1363, Archibald's interests lay firmly with the king, whom he accompanied throughout the crisis. His reward took the form of new opportunities. From 1364 Archibald was warden of the west march with England, and his responsibilities there included the final subjection of the province of Galloway, where strong regional identity combined with vestigial loyalty to the Balliol family to cause repeated problems for the Bruce dynasty and its allies. By 1369 Archibald had completed his task, forcing the chief local kindreds to recognize his authority. In return the king granted him the lordship of Galloway between the rivers Nith and Cree, and Douglas built a massive tower house at Threave to act as his chief stronghold. Associated with this venture was Archibald's chief ally, James Douglas of Dalkeith, the nephew of Sir William Douglas, and during the 1360s David II patronized both men as potential rivals to William, earl of Douglas.
War leader
The death of David II in early 1371 seemed to pose a major threat to Archibald Douglas's prospects. The new king, Robert II, had no compelling reason to favour Archibald and quickly reached an understanding with William, earl of Douglas, who had at first opposed his accession. Although he was sent on an embassy to France in 1371, during the 1370s Archibald's position in the south-west was still at risk from the earl of Douglas and his allies, but the new lord of Galloway possessed the local backing to forestall any major challenge to his influence in the region. Indeed Archibald was able to extend that influence. In 1372 he bought the earldom of Wigtown, which neighboured his lordship of Galloway, from its lord, Thomas Fleming. Unlike Archibald, Fleming lacked the ability to control the leading kindreds of the area and, though Robert II may have had his own plans for the earldom, he accepted the purchase, recognizing the difficulties involved in supplanting Archibald.
These difficulties were increased by the gradual escalation of war with England, which had begun in the late 1360s with raids by Archibald and another protégé of David II, George Dunbar, earl of March, on English-held lands in the west and middle marches. By the early 1370s the earl of Douglas too was leading attacks against England. While the Stewart royal house was slow to participate, the conflict secured Archibald's place in the marches and the kingdom. This was in part because, despite his prosecution of the war, Archibald was also active in the border negotiations which attempted, without success, to maintain the truce which was being breached by both Scots and English. These negotiations show that Archibald retained his influence in the borders, since from the 1360s to the 1380s he was consistently named as the sole warden and commissioner for the Scots in the west march. His role in war and diplomacy was the basis for his integration into the new Stewart-dominated polity in Scotland. By the early 1380s the source of royal lordship in the south was John Stewart, earl of Carrick, the king's eldest son and lieutenant in the marches. Between 1381 and 1388 Archibald was drawn into Carrick's following, which also included the earls of Douglas and March, by a number of significant acts of patronage. Thus Archibald's bastard son, William, was made lord of Nithsdale, assigned a pension, and given the king's daughter, Egidia, as his wife. And a second marriage alliance linked Archibald and Carrick when, about 1387, Douglas's elder son from his marriage to Joanna Murray, Archibald, the future fourth earl of Douglas, married Carrick's daughter Margaret.
These marks of favour were indications of Archibald's importance as a military leader in the marches, as war with England grew in scale and intensity with the end of the truce in February 1384. To coincide with this Archibald, with Douglas and March, at once besieged and captured Lochmaben in Annandale in revenge for attacks by the garrison on his men in Galloway. His success deprived the English of their last stronghold in south-west Scotland. Archibald's value in war was recognized beyond Scotland. In 1385 the French distributed a war subsidy to the Scots king and nobility. Archibald's share of this was 5500 livres tournois, a sum equal to that of Carrick and second only to the new earl of Douglas, James Douglas. When the French sent an expedition to Scotland in 1385, Archibald showed his worth, meeting the French force in the west march and leading it in a raid on Carlisle. Much of the devastation suffered by the west march in the 1370s and 1380s was inflicted by Archibald. It was during a large-scale invasion of the English west march, by a substantial Scottish army led by Archibald and the earl of Fife, that Archibald received the news of the death of James, second earl of Douglas, at Otterburn in August 1388, leaving the Douglas estates without an undisputed heir.
The earldom of Douglas
During late 1388 and early 1389 Archibald the Grim or the Terrible as he was nicknamed, secured a share of this Douglas inheritance, which included the earldom and principal border lordships of the family. He did so despite the initial opposition of a number of leading figures, mostly relatives and followers of Earl James, who supported the claims of Malcolm Drummond, husband of Isabella, the previous earl's sister and, by normal legal standards, heir. Archibald's case rested on the 46-year-old entail of Douglas lands which limited succession to the male line and named him as ultimate heir. While Drummond sought recognition of his rights at the royal court, Archibald pressed his claim in the borders. In alliance once again with James Douglas of Dalkeith, who had his own claims to certain Douglas estates, and also with the backing of the king's second son, Robert Stewart, earl of Fife, Archibald extended his influence into Eskdale, Liddesdale, and Ettrick Forest during the autumn and winter. This success in winning over local men arguably depended less on the entail than on Archibald's pedigree as a war leader and his possession of the Douglas name, major considerations to communities in the front line of Anglo-Scottish warfare. As Archibald triumphed, Drummond's support at court crumbled. The latter's brother-in-law, Carrick, was succeeded as lieutenant by the earl of Fife, who had been on good terms with Archibald and whose interests centred on the north. Fife quickly identified Archibald as the man in possession and in April 1389 recognized him as earl of Douglas and lord of Eskdale, Lauderdale, Ettrick Forest, and the other entailed estates of the family.
Archibald Douglas spent the rest of his life defending these gains against a number of rivals. In 1389 Malcolm Drummond had in vain sought English help against Douglas, but on his return to Scotland he won support from the men round Carrick, who became king as Robert III in 1390. The focus of this faction was the king's son and heir, David Stewart, the new earl of Carrick. With this backing Drummond obtained rights to the unentailed portion of the Douglas estate, while David Stewart and his guardians began to interfere with Archibald's position in the marches. In the early 1390s Stewart himself claimed Nithsdale, following the death on crusade of Archibald's son William, who had held it by royal grant; he also took a leading role in border negotiations, squeezing out Archibald as march warden, and attracted a number of borderers to his own paid retinue. In addition to this pressure, Archibald found his position challenged by a new rival, George Douglas, earl of Angus, bastard son of William, first earl of Douglas, and his mistress Margaret Stewart, countess of Angus. From 1397 George put forward claims to the lands held by his father, and was assisted by Robert III, whose daughter Mary he married. Such claims threatened both Archibald and James Douglas of Dalkeith and were backed by force. In response Archibald seems to have transferred possession of his border lordships to his elder son, Archibald, master of Douglas, thereby ending any uncertainty over his advancing age and handing power to an active and aggressive lord who immediately renewed war with England. Royal politics confirmed Archibald's security. In late 1398 David Stewart, now duke of Rothesay, sought Archibald's support in his efforts to become lieutenant of the realm. The alliance was confirmed by Rothesay's marriage to Douglas's daughter Mary, and Archibald was left to settle the dispute between Douglas of Dalkeith and Angus, using the opportunity to build closer links with the latter. Archibald died at Bothwell Castle on Christmas eve 1400 and was buried at Bothwell collegiate church. He had secured his family's hold on the earldom of Douglas, while his son had already begun the search for still greater land and lordship.
Archibald Douglas's fame extended beyond Scotland. Like many of the Douglas family, he maintained close contact with France. He fought at Poitiers in 1356 and in 1369 and 1371 was sent as an ambassador to Charles V of France by successive Scottish kings. The scale of their payment to Archibald in 1385 suggests the French were impressed. Archibald was seen as an exceptional figure by other contemporaries. Jean Froissart wrote of him as a giant warrior, while the Scottish chronicler Walter Bower claimed that Archibald 'surpassed almost all other Scots … in worldly wisdom, resolution and daring [and] in the additions to his inheritance and wealth' (Bower, 8.35). Bower added praise for Archibald's judgements, the size of his retinue, and his generosity to the church, recording Douglas's foundation of collegiate churches at Bothwell and at Lincluden, near Dumfries. The expulsion of the existing community of nuns from Lincluden brought a characteristic element of force into his act of piety. The great rectangular tower house which he built at Threave helped to set a fashion for such residences among the Scottish landowning class, at every level, which would last into the sixteenth century. In view of his longevity and his mastery of the skills of war and politics in fourteenth-century Scotland Archibald Douglas ranks with Robert II and Robert Stewart, duke of Albany, for his impact on Scottish political society.

M.H. Brown's biography of Archibald, 5th Earl, refers to James Douglas of Balvenie as his uncle. This would, presumably, make him a son of the 3rd Earl.
- From Doug Hickling: "You show Archibald the Grim (3rd Earl of Douglas) Douglas as the son of William (le Hardi) Douglas and Elizabeth Steward. Both CP and SP show that Archibald the Grim was the bastard grandson of William (le Hardi) Douglas and his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander, High Steward of Scotland.
Archibald's father was James "Lord of Douglas" called the good James (Sir) and his natural mother is unknown. Your showing of the wife of Archibald the Grim and his wife and son James the Gross is in accord with CP and SP.
These authorities also agree with your listing of the parentage of Sir William (Lord of Nithsdale) Douglas but the comments made above as to the missing generation between William le Hardi and Archibald the Grim apply here also."

I'll spare you the details of my low-key weekend at home and share the last of my Turkey pictures!
After our time in Istanbul, we traveled to the beach town of Bodrum along the Aegean coast. I was really, really excited about this part of the trip, but after the whirlwind of the city, I hadn't thought much about it. I think Matt and I were both blown away when we arrived and saw how ridiculously beautiful it was. We didn't stay right on the water to save some money, but our hotel had a breathtaking view from a hill overlooking the city and harbor, so it was fine with me!
I knew the town was old, but I didn't realize how much history there was until we started walking around the city and learning more about it. On our first day we explored and visited the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world! We probably could have spent another whole day going to historical sites (the castle looked so neat), but we had a birthday to celebrate!
We walked down to the harbor on our first night and discovered tons of waterfront bars – reminded me of the cove we'd go to in Mykonos every night before dinner on our honeymoon!
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous posts are the cats in Turkey! They were everywhere and the locals and people working at restaurants kept them well-fed and gave them attention, so it wasn't a sad situation (or at least didn't appear to be) like some of the other places I've visited where the animals are thin and sickly.
This was the view from our dinner table down to the docks where the cats were waiting for scraps of seafood.
Anyway, back to the birthday. Matt turned 30 on the 3rd, so I wanted to do something extra special for him. It didn't take much research to discover that renting a gulet, or a traditional wooden boat is a big thing in Bodrum. A friend of mine had also done this and highly recommended it, so I made arrangements with a wonderful lady to hire the Adorya gulet for the day.
Matt didn't know a thing about it until the morning of, when I gave him a pair of sunglasses and a card that explained the surprise. He was one happy 30-year-old!
The boat was absolutely amazing and the day was right out of a fantasy….by far the best excursion I've ever done!
We sailed into quiet coves and swam in the brisk water,
we snorkeled (but didn't see much),
we drank beers while floating on noodles,
and jumped off the top of the boat.
Our captain prepared an incredible fresh lunch of salad, fruit,
and fish caught that morning.
Of course, I arranged for a bit of cake:)
It was seriously one of the best days of my life.
After the boat trip, we rested and then strolled into town for dinner. We took a break from Turkish food and had dinner at a Spanish restaurant called La Pasion.
We sat in a beautiful courtyard and had tapas. I think we ordered 7 and all of them were phenomenal. I'm so glad we found this gem!!
We went to this one bakery every night in Bodrum to pick a dessert to take back to the hotel. I think Matt's birthday is about the only day he's willing to eat dessert with both lunch and dinner!
On our last day in Bodrum, we took a bus over to the beach side of the town and spent the day at a beach club.
The view was great! We had crazy winds, so we wrapped up in towels to stay warm and watched the huge beach pillows blow into the water. It was cozy.
We had one last dinner in the harbor, and then it was back to Istanbul for the long trek home.
Looking back at these pictures, it's like the whole trip was a dream. I know I am very fortunate to be able to travel and I'm so thankful that Matt and I had the opportunity to visit such an amazing part of the world and celebrate a fun milestone on a gulet:)

You sure know how to arrange wonderful vacations!
It looks like you had an amazing trip from beginning to end. And what a way to celebrate your 30th! Traveling is such a blessing and I pray it's something I always appreciate. Thanks for sharing your travels.
We went to Istanbul and Bodrum after I took the bar exam a couple of years ago. This brought back so many great memories. Except, my recap would have included the epic night we spent on Halikarnas after I found out I passed the bar, haha!
Roving Jay
So glad you and Matt had a fabulous time in Bodrum. Some great photos of the boat trip! No trip to Bodrum is complete without at least one day out on the Aegean. Lucky you having the Adorya all to yourselves.
I'm a blogger that writes and published the Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide website, can I include an excerpt from your blog post and a photo on my blog? I'll credit you as the source and include a link back to your website. thanks, Jay
A+ for renting the birthday boat. I am a big water fan (not shocking, living in the land of 10,000 lakes) so that looks like an absolutely perfect outing! Also, big fan of that bakery case. Glad y'all got to hit the cake for lunch AND dinner on the special day.

plus, the response of that equip is just so much more inspiring especially the lubricity if your partner is into the performance and no 'roids et cetera..,just my opinion and experience but guys def give better head and i love to look at them.
^ Being Bi I agree with above! But guys certainly give the best in the suckin game and I love cocks!
An ass is tighter than a vagina!
Vagina hands down. Ass may be tighter but a vagina just seems to fit nicely..
One that ass is open and entered it has the most erortic and sensual pleasues to top and bottom.
Two totally different experiences. I've found pussy to be a better fit -- more accommodating (stretchy), definitely softer and slicker (like fucking butter) -- but an ass usually is tighter (which is very nice) and somewhat warmer (if you enjoy that).
You can't go wrong either way, really, as far as an orifice goes. Pussy is great for "making love" but there is a case to be made for the totally dominant feeling you get from knowing you're fucking someone in the ass. Just sayin'.
And that goes for guys AND gals.
Maybe evolution will combine the self-lubricating fit of a vagina with the tightness of a big nice virgin bubble butt!
but from what i have read, older women's things get loose, etc. so they won't be as tight as before.
and if you use lube right, don't those two things feel the same ?
i like ass better tighter but not self lubing like vagina's do so ass if there is lub vagina if there istn
I dont understand the big deal about tighter i guess you cut guys can truly get pleasure from pressure caus ei dont want something sqeezin the hell out of my dick a lil squeeze is nice though but yall want clamps
Nah, lube is just not the same, plus it's hot knowing that the chick is making those juices cause of the way you are pleasuring her.
As for the loose pussy, that's easy, Doggy style fuck the pussy then the ass, fuck the pussy then the ass. Repeat as needed
Fuck, I'm horny now
I'm pretty sure you're mostly kidding, but for those who don't know ...
Going ass to pussy without washing your cock with soap, or at least putting on a clean condom, is an excellent way to give the girl a nasty vaginal infection. And if that happens, it would be very surprising if she'll ever let you fuck any orifice of hers ever again.
Ass, because it's naughty.
The ASS. Nobody cant deny that. lol
Well once she's pushed out a baby or ten, it would probably be like throwing a toothpick into a canyon. Can anyone confirm this?
When you are with someone that you are attracted to, like, have feelings for, find sexy or even love, it doesn't matter how tight or how lubed or how loose or how dry they are. It all comes down to the person, not the body part.
I'm gay, but was married and I say vagina because it can mold itself atoms the cock from tip to base. The ass ring is tight but once in it feels very different.
as a bi a vagina feels much better than a sh***y ass
In my opinion i say vagina, no need to be using enema, no checking it's all clean and nothing will come out. But it all depends of your mood at that time, ass feel awesome if in you mind you want it :P and sometimes you just want to have sex without lubes, preparing, stretching a little. :P
Sans condom, the vagina, for me, has more texture.
I'm not gay just because I like cock and ass. It's the guy to which both are attached.
I always enjoyed the sex I had with women.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.
Vagina for sure - if you are just asking what feels best. But I love men, cocks, a nice bubble butt, sucking cock, being sucked by a man. So if it is just about the hole, I vote vagina. But if it is about the whole experience, I'll take a nice, tight bubble butt on a great looking stud any day. Oh, and I agree that men give MUCH better blow jobs than women.
Vagina is pretty cool, I am also a fan of the self lubrication function. But ass has to be the personal fave.
Ass is tighter in general but pussy is much softer and wetter and more slippery. It molds much better around your cock and I lov rubbing my head against pussy lips and teasing it. Ass is hot because it can feel taboo and powerful and it looks really hot too as you're fucking it. There is nothing hotter looking than a guy or girl's hot ass bent over in front of your raging hard cock.
I'm gay, so it took me a long while to accept the fact that vaginas are just better: self-lubricating, easily entered, muscular tubes that grip and stroke penises along their whole length.
It hurts to know that gay sex is second best. All I'm left with is a deepened sense of inferiority and intense vagina envy. I dearly wish I could just spread my legs and instantly have a man thrusting inside me, without the need for endless cleaning and artificial lubrication.
Vagina for Sure. NICE and TIGHT and CREAM PIES are THE BEST Shaved ONLY.

For the past several weeks, our family has been in communication with leadership at AGWM and we have been in fervent prayer as we continued to seek direction on a new country within Africa. We are extremely excited to announce that we have now been assigned to serve in South Africa at Jackson's Ridge Children's Ministries Training Centre!
Jackson's Ridge has three areas of ministry:
First, Jackson's Ridge is a Children's Ministry Training Centre for adult leaders, children's workers, teachers and community workers who want to impact the lives of all children in their communities.
Second, Jackson's Ridge is a Children's Camping facility specializing in camps for all kinds of children from church groups, community organizations and disadvantaged communities. Jackson's Ridge also serves as the continental office for Royal Family Kids Camps, a program designed especially for hurting children who have been physically, emotionally and sexually abused and neglected.
Third, Jackson's Ridge is a Resource Centre, providing the largest array of children's ministry materials and supplies in Africa.
There are many blessings involved with this assignment, not the least of which is that our family will be able to continue to homeschool, Savannah and McCoy will be able to be heavily involved in the ministry, and the fact that God gave us a calling to work with children. In short, Jackson's Ridge is a perfect and divine fit in which God can utilize our calling and our passions in order to impact His Kingdom.
Our duties will include working with kids at camp, teaching in seminars, partnering with local churches to train upcoming children's ministry workers, teaching at local schools, creating children's ministry resources, grounds keeping, maintenance, administration, and hosting various groups that frequent the camp.
Jackson's Ridge is located just outside of Magaliesburg in the Northwest province of South Africa.
WHAT'S NEXT? Here's what the next 90 days will look like for our family:
First of all, we are now 96% funded for our monthly support. (You have no idea how hard it was not to type that in all caps)
We will continue to share our hearts at churches and complete our budget.
We are praying for our home to sell in God's perfect timing.
We begin the Visa process, get our required immunizations, buy plane tickets, move out of our home, draft a will, sell our furniture and car, put a few special memories in storage, condense everything we will bring with us into 16 Rubbermaid totes, cry a lot, say goodbye to family and friends for 3 years, and in late January, we have one of the greatest privileges in our lives and that is to enter a country that God specifically called our family to so that we can share His love with the people of South Africa.
Prayer Points:
Pray that our home sells in His perfect timing.
Pray for our family as we prepare to leave for South Africa.
Pray for an easy and expedited Visa process.
Pray that we have the necessary monetary funding and prayer support to be as effective as possible.
Pray that Savannah and McCoy are able to develop lasting and deep friendships.
