Can someone recommend really good doctors or people who are good at acupuncture for increasing milk supply? Professionals who have demonstrated visible difference?
If you have personal experience with such practitioners can you please post recommendations?
>..for Bellevue, Seattle and surrounding areas..please.
No acupuncture recommendations, but have you had your thyroid tested? Low thyroid can lead to low milk supply.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
My girls and I have used a wonderful accupunturist in Bellvue. She has been treating us for a car accident. Her name is Dr Wu and has been studying since she was 9 years old. She also does custom herbals, and I am sure she would be able to help you with your milk supply. She is also very patient with my girls (6 and 9 years)
Best of luck to you,
Phathui5 ..got my TSH, T3 and T4 checked and all the readings are fantastically within normal range. More confounding this :-)
Ikoz2 -- thank you. Her site seems promising enough.
I have noticed something interesting though - most all the docs/acupuncturists sites I have seen do NOT list breastmilk supply has an ailment treatable by acupuncture. Yet I have read so many anecdotes about this....
Dr. Wu's own site has this link which cites many problems but supply.... yet I am sure if I call for an appointment they will say that treat supply problems :/
WHO's site links lactation as treatable by acupuncture though.

I agree with this. He needs to be more aggressive but if you just come straight in on a wrestler youll be taken down easy. If he can improve his footwork and still pull the trigger he will be deadly.
8/9/11 6:58 PM by Rookie Fighter
Aggression is not an affective offense against wrestlers. Wrestlers counter aggression easily with constant takedown attempts.
8/9/11 6:46 PM by rosario00
So it's obviously an issue with training and so he either didn't train sufficiently for Story's wrestlefucking, or Story is a very proficient wrestlefucker (or wall 'n' staller)
8/9/11 6:41 PM by mcpeepants232003
^ you do realize that both things could of happened right? He could of still won the fight with just a little more aggression and still need to work on his offense.Btw you make no sense. I said he lost because he wasn't aggressive enough. You said that's not true if he would of countered the wrestling and went on the offensive he would of won.so you're basically reinforcing my point that he just wasn't aggressive enough.
8/9/11 6:28 PM by Rookie Fighter
But he didn't story went in with a gameplan to wrestle and succeeded in doing so enough to win over thiago. What thiago didn't do is properly counter the wrestling with an offensive after the takedown defense what successful there for he was in defense mod the whole fight. We talked about it all the time trust me fan boy
8/9/11 6:26 PM by K-Dub-"T"
He simply needs to use angles and cut off the ring more. Tht's all he's missing. It was diasappointing watchign him allow Story to walk him down in a straight line and him comply. If he did what GSP did to him in in the standup ...
8/9/11 4:48 PM by Elbeezy1
A lot of valid points... I hope he hasnt lost that spark and can notch up a W again

It would be nice to see how popularity polls rate Dick
Cheney right about now. Just sayin'.
According to a new poll, President Obama's favorability rating has increased by four points to its highest level since 2013.
The new Gallup poll revealed that President Obama's favorability rating remains on the rise. Obama's favorability rating increased to 49% in March to 53% today. The President spent all of 2014 with a rating under 50%, and his current numbers are his highest since September 2013. Personal favorability is not the same as a job approval rating, but the President's job approval ratings have also been steadily improving as the economy has continued to grow.
Independents are leading the surge in President Obama's personal approval rating. Obama's favorability rating has increased by five points (47% to 52%) since February. Obama's favorability rating has also increased by four points (86% to 90%) with Democrats over the same period. The increase in support among Democrats suggests that the President has not been damaged by the disagreement within his party over trade.
Pundits and the media's conventional wisdom suggest that President Obama's job approval rating will be critical to the 2016 Democratic nominee's chances of victory. This nugget of false knowledge was debunked when Obama cruised to reelection in 2012 as the press claimed that his job approval ratings meant that he was going to struggle.
Many voters support a candidate because of personal likability. During the 2012 election, Obama's personal favorability ratings were always much higher than those of Mitt Romney. If President Obama maintains or grows his personal favorability rating, he will be a huge asset to the Democratic Party in 2016. Democrats will not make the same mistake that Al Gore made by keeping Bill Clinton on the bench in 2000. Gore's decision was complicated by the Lewinsky scandal, but former President Clinton was incredibly popular, and might have been able to tilt the election to Al Gore if he had been more utilized on the campaign trail.
Despite numerous Republican attempts to create one, President Obama has no scandals. The scandal-free nature of his administration combined with a growing economy suggests that the stage is set for Obama's favorability ratings to grow as his time in office winds down. This poll may reflect a political climate where voters aren't looking for a change. If voters are satisfied with this president personally and professionally, it will only strengthen the Democratic case in 2016.

It's All Downhill From Here
As I went 'round and 'round the merry-go-round, I was barely able to muster a facade of unenthusiastic happiness. All joy had been sucked out of my life as the reporters descended onto this dirty carnival.
There was a time not too long ago when my greatest desire was to protect my family, specifically Claire Bear. However, ever since that bear went native, I've had to reevaluate my life. There's no more family to protect.
Sandra left me.
I don't really like my son.
And Claire went and ruined the one thing I was good at: secretly hunting down mutants.
"You broke my heart, Claire," I told her.
"Um, like, Dad....I'm so totally famous now! I have, like, seventy bajillion Facebook friends now."
I didn't want to hear any of it. My life has always been about secrets. Secret jobs, secret marriages, secret Haitians...but now, there are no more secrets.
It's over.
Back at my lonely apartment, I poured myself some cognac. "To the last of a dying breed," I raised my glass before downing the entire drink.
"Some west African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single-sex environment," a peculiar voice interrupted my intoxication.
Bang! I fired at the non-Zim invader.
"B-b...but we...were supposed to be.....colleagues!" the robotic clown said with its last breath.
"Robots don't have last breaths," I said aloud correcting my above exposition and the poor acting being performed in front of me.
"True that," the thing said getting back up on its propeller feet, "and donuts don't have fast breasts."
"What are you doing here, Gyrobo?" I asked.
"Reporting for duty, sir!" he responded with a salute.
He was no doubt referring to The Company Apprentice, a competition I held to find someone to help me restart The Company. We had a sad lot of applicants, needless to say, as this was the winner hovering before me.
"Look, there's not going to be any company. Not any more. My daughter went public. Blew everything."
He snickered.
I continued, "There's just no way to have a clandestine company hunting special humans when everyone knows about their existence. It can't be done."
"But my pension plan!" he cried.
"You're not the only one that's lost something," I said. "Trust me." I refilled my glass and poured another for Gyrobo.
"So, what do we do now?" Gyrobo asked, looking for some kind of solace in the wise plans of his elder.
"We live," I answered. "We live, and we watch Memphis Beat."

The Good Ol' Days
I remember a time when life just seemed worth living. Hell, even death seemed worth living. Every week it seemed like something interesting was going on in my life.
Now, though, things are....unusual.
Claire went public with the news about her immortality, and every since that there's been nothing for me to do. I mean, how am I supposed to protect a girl everyone knows is invincible? It made no sense when I did it before. She can't be killed! But despite that, I protected her at all cost. That was in secret, though. Now, people will know and say of me, "Why does he waste so much time protecting someone who's invincible, especially when he has another kid?"
"I have another kid?" I'd respond. I always forget about that one. Usually, I think they're referring to the dog.
So, I was thinking that I should probably restart The Company. It'd be nice if I had a job to go to. I need something to occupy my time. If only I could qualify for a small business loan. Then, I could start my own company. We could sell paper and kidnap people. It would be a dream come true!
"Hello? Angela?" I called up the scary Petrelli matriarch.
"What is it, Noah?" she asked.
"I have a great idea for a new business. I was thinking I'd let you in as our first investor. It's a spectacular opportunity!"
"Fine," she sighed, "humor me."
"Alright, so here's the deal: It would be a paper company, stationed in Texas, but, and here's the good part, in addition to selling paper, we can kidnap people!"
"It's been tried, Noah," she said in her snarky midtown way, "and it blew up."
"I hear you." Thinking quick on my feet, I pitched another killer idea, "How about we start a school for people with abilities."
"I'm fairly certain that's straight out of a comic book," she moaned. "This is becoming tedious, Noah. I really should return to my sitting ominously in a large and empty room."
"One more idea," I quickly said, hoping I could come up with something good. Stalling, I asked her about her day. However, she told me to get on with it, so I went with the best thing I could come up with. "Let's buy an island."
"An island?" she asked.
"Off the coast of Costa Rica. We could lease it from the government there and spend a couple of years setting up a kind of biological preserve. The attractions would drive kids out of their mind, and not just kids, everyone!"
"What are those?" she inquired, obviously hooked.
"Small versions of adults, Mom," Peter's voice said on the other end.
"They're right up your alley," I answered.
"He's saying you're a dinosaur," Peter interjected again. "It's the plot of Jurassic Park."
Long story short, I didn't get the Petrelli investment. But I'll refine my business plan and give it another go. I've already proven myself as a capable business man. I mean, I practically wear nothing but business suits! How more capable can one get?

Past Teacups
As I've said countless times, people are fragile like teacups. Nobody seems to listen to me, though. And these teacup people keep shattering all around me. Sure, usually it's me doing the shattering, but still, the point is valid.
How am I so wise? People often ask me that. "Gee, Noah," Peter said just the other day, "You sure are good at so much. You must have a great backstory."
I shot him a mysterious look and said mysteriously, "Of course."
He sat down Indian style on the floor and smiled up at me.
"Umm, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Waiting for the story," he replied up at me. "It's story time right?"
"No," I answered. "Now get up and help me catch this speedster."
"Oh," he sighed, "it's just that it sounded like it was going to be story time."
I had hoped story time would never come. But like Kristie Alley's 18th jelly donut following seven bowls of Lucky Charms each morning for breakfast, it was inevitable.
Story time finally did come, thanks to some replicating jerk. Had I known he would start firing shots into the carnival, I would have shot Samuel right in the head. I never like passing up an opportunity to fire a gun. So, naturally I wasn't pleased when Claire forced me into negotiations with the carny, allowing him to surrender.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to snipe anyone, and was instead captured by the freakish lot of miscreants.
I was held prisoner in the hall of mirrors as one of them made my backstory unfold on its reflective surfaces. It told the tale of a relationship prior to Sandra....
She was the love of my life.
And the mother of my son. But things were complicated....
Because there was also Luke.
But my old man didn't want his son being "happy".
And then, and this is where it gets really confusing (I don't even know for sure how it went down), at my sister's wedding Luke got shot in the head!
And he died in my arms.
It was tragic, but I moved on. I found a new girl, but that was soon brought to an end too. She was murdered by the pizza delivery man.
Clearly, love was not meant for me. People die too easily, and so I found a better companion. My pistol. We've been together ever since.

He also mentions that we are going to do things like ride on a magic carpet and save Doctor Watson. I think what he's really trying to say is that we're going to go to a mental institution in Florida to save someone. (Hopefully he is not going to try to commit himself). I'm not sure who it is we're going to save because Hiro can't exactly say. I guess I will find out soon.

"no, you no understand," suresh-sensei say to me, "we got to stop evil butterfly man now. very dangerous."
"i know that, but if we go now, evil butterfly man no tell me where charlie-san is. besides, you very smart scientist, but you no have common sense. do very dumb thing. don't feel bad though. many smart people like this. i no want to go with you to stomp on bad butterfly man. i better off doing myself. less likely to make bigger problem. remember time you think it good idea to inject self with formula? experiment on self? you almost turn into the fly. very big problem, like i say."
"if that what you want to do, i go without you," suresh-sensei tell me.

when i go back to carnival, i give evil butterfly man movie and say, "i do you favor. now you tell me where charlie-san is."
"sorry, hiro, but you need to go clean up ride over there. someone eat too much elephant ear and get sick on."
"awww…come on!" i tell evil butterfly man, "you promise!"
"do you want charlie back or not?" he tell me. i sigh. then i grab mop and bucket and clean up mess. i thought cotton candy bad. this worse.
"okay, now you tell me where charlie-san is?" i ask him when i finish. but no. evil butterfly man no tell me. he just give me more work to do. now i have to go clean up after elephant.

then, i tell ando-kun to stay. i sound like i talking to dog. "sit. stay. good dog." maybe i need to learn to treat friend better, ne?
finally, i talk to charlie-san and tell her we can go anywhere she want.
"i want to go to otsu, japan," she say, "because kensei-san born there."
i almost tell her i no want to go, that i meet kensei-san in past and he turn out to be asshole, but i no say. i want to make charlie-san happy.

Lawmakers play blame game on RH bill delay
MANILA, Philippines – The blame game over who's delaying deliberations on the reproductive health bill at the House of Representatives took another turn Wednesday.
In a statement, the minority bloc accused the majority of "delaying omnibus referrals of outstanding bills by the rules committee unless and until the discussions of the RH bill are reopened."
"It is unacceptable to us that important legislation will be held hostage to any single bill, no matter how important it might be to the administration," said Minority Leader Danilo Suarez, who read the statement.
Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II denied that there was such an effort.
"Not true. We were not able to take up even referrals of bills or purely administrative matters the other week because the anti-RH (congressmen) didn't want to take up anything unless there was a roll call," he said in a text message.
"Anyway, [on Tuesday] we were able to refer all (matters) to the respective committees. Perhaps, Danny didn't know because he was not on the floor [Tuesday]," he added.
Another member of the majority, Cagayan Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, said around 30 bills were referred to different committees last Tuesday. Like Suarez, Rodriguez is opposed to the RH bill, which is also known as House Bill No. 4244.
"It's not true that there will be no referral of the matters and the bills to the different committees until or unless there's already the resumption of the amendment aspect," he told the Inquirer.
The majority leader heads the powerful committee on rules, which farms out bills and resolutions to concerned committees for proper action. Gonzales earlier announced that HB 4244 would not be discussed this week to allow the chamber to tackle other measures on the floor.
Asked where he got the information that the majority was blocking RH deliberations, Suarez said "some members aired their concern" about the referral of their respective bills during the plenary session.
They were purportedly told: "Saka na muna yan, tapusin na muna natin yung RH (Worry about that later, let's finish first the RH bill)."
Siquijor Rep. Orlando Fua, a member of the minority and is also against HB 4244, pointed out that the measure had become "bi-partisan," after gathering supporters and opponents from both sides of the political fence.
The chamber failed to start the period of interpellation two weeks ago, partly because it accommodated privilege speeches and also because many pro-RH congressmen were not present on the floor.
Fua noted that it was members of the majority who were fighting it out with each other during the period of amendments.
"There is no intention on the part of the minority to delay the passage of the bill," he said in the press conference with Suarez.
"If there is any delay, it is (because of) the majority. If you look at the session in plenary, most of those who ask questions are from the majority. Seldom do we see a member of the minority interpellate the sponsors of the bill.
Rodriguez said anti-RH congressmen were concerned about the quorum because such an important piece of legislation should not be decided on by a small group of House members.
"The majority is unable to bring the warm bodies here to support their cause, while we in the anti-RH (group) are always vigilant," he said.
"We're always ready, but we assure them that once they take up the RH bill, we are going to stand up (and ask) that there should be warm bodies."

other industries.

R&D initiatives for many years. The successful development of carbon
fiber-reinforced nylon showcases China XD Plastics' ability in product

Why Water is So ImportantWater is a vital part of your body's overall health — because it affects every cell of your body. It is a huge component of muscle and helps you produce energy. This is why you'll often get a cramp when you work out without proper hydration.
Water also helps the body to maintain its temperature, remove waste and lubricate joints.
"Hydration has the greatest impact on training, performance and recovery," says Dr. Ahmad. "Dehydration, even at the lowest level, can result in impaired performance."
How Do I know I am Hydrated Enough?Dehydration occurs when your body loses more fluids, mostly water, than it is taking in. With dehydration, more water is moving out of our cells and body than what we take in through drinking.
The signs and symptoms of dehydration range from minor to severe. Increased thirst, dry mouth, weakness, dizziness, confusion and fatigue are all signs that an individual may be lacking the proper amount of water.
Many think that dry mouth is one of the first signs of dehydration. If you are experiencing dry mouth, though, your body is likely already craving water. If you are concerned that you may be dehydrated, a good way to check is to check the color of your urine.
If your urine is anything but clear, you are lacking the water your body needs. Yellow and orange are not the colors of healthy urine. If your urine is brown, you need to speak with your physician.
Should I Only Drink Water?It is rare, but you can actually drink too much water.
As much as you need water, too much in your system can create an imbalance between water and electrolytes. When you sweat or lose water through other ways, you lose electrolytes. Replenishing your body with just water can dilute the electrolytes that are already low in your system. This could lead to your sodium levels becoming very low. When this occurs, you could become very ill. Although this is rare, it does occur.
During intense physical activity where you are sweating quite a bit, you may want to grab a sports drink or coconut water rather than plain water. This will help to better replace sodium lost in sweat.
"For slower athletes, it is recommend to drink according to thirst," said Dr. Ahmad. "Elite level athletes should follow a recovery plan, which includes drinking water and carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks."
How Much Water Do I Need Each Day?This is last for a reason. Although the question is rather simple, the answer is much more complicated.
Unfortunately, there really is no one-size-fits-all approach to the amount of water you should consume on a daily basis.
As a general rule of thumb, you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, it is recommended you drink 100 ounces of water if you are performing non-strenuous activities.
If you are going to be working out or hiking, you definitely should add to those 100 ounces. It is recommended that you drink 12 ounces of water a couple hours before your activity and then another 12 ounces about 30 minutes prior to the start. Be sure to also drink throughout the activity.
Other factors to keep in mind when thinking about your daily water consumption include the environment and any illnesses or health conditions. Hot or humid air makes you sweat more and will require additional intake of fluid. If you are sick and vomiting or have a fever, you will again be losing fluid more quickly and need to replenish.
As you can tell, being properly hydrated is important but not a perfect science. The best approach is to listen to your body and look for the feedback signs.
"I can not emphasize enough the importance of hydration," says Dr. Ahmad. "It has the greatest impact on training performance and recovery. Lack of hydration can lead to severe problems, including muscle breakdown, kidney injury and electrolyte imbalances."
Keep Calm and Hydrate on!

Roomy 2013 Pilot is award winner
In the test Pilot, neither the engine nor transmission conveyed strained or annoying sounds. In fact, most transmission shifts were imperceptible and the Pilot interior was quite quiet, save for when the V-6 responded strongly and confidently in pedal-to-the-metal driving.
Power came on smoothly and steadily in city travel and at highway speeds, with the Pilot powering along on flat terrain and moving with purpose up mountainous roads.
Best of all, the Pilot needs only regular gasoline.
The Pilot's 18/25-mpg rating is matched by the 2013 Flex, but the Flex only offers seats for up to seven. The same maximum seating is true of the newly revised, 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, which comes with a CVT and posts a 20/26-mpg rating from the government.
Still, the test Pilot, which had all-wheel drive, averaged just 17.5 mpg in travel that was 70 percent in the city.
The Pilot looks neither brutish nor plain. It's cleanly styled outside, and the interior is well-organized so anyone can get inside, setting up a bit on the seats for good views out, and just drive.
A thoughtful touch: A commodious, covered center console storage that's big enough for many purses and that's positioned just below the center stack of the dashboard.
It's also appreciated that the display screen is inset a bit under a "brow" so sunshine doesn't wash out the images from the rearview camera.
At 16 feet in length and 6.5 feet wide, the Pilot is nicely sized in between the competition. It's nearly 10.5 inches shorter in length than the Flex but is a tad wider than the Pathfinder.
The Pilot doesn't feel like an extremely long vehicle when it's driven. The turning circle is an accommodating 37.9 feet.
Second-row passengers in the Pilot have a generous 38.5 inches of legroom, while the 32.1 inches for third-row riders can be expanded if second-row seats are moved forward a bit on their tracks.
Second- and third-row seats folded down easily in the tester, providing a maximum 87 cubic feet of cargo room, which is more cargo volume than the Pathfinder has.
All but the biggest road bumps were kept away from passengers in the tester, and the steering had a somewhat light feel.
Passengers could notice some weight shifting from one side of the vehicle to the other on curvy mountain roads.
The Pilot has a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds and earned four out of five stars in government crash tests.
Consumer Reports puts the Pilot's predicted reliability at above average.

West Coast thought: People who applaud tax increases also support having a draft
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Last week I had a series of appearances in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. A couple of observations from that trip:
–Tax increases are not anathema, as least to the people to came to my talks. When the person introducing me at the Seattle Library mentioned that a recent approval of a tax increase would keep open more library branches on weekends, there was a round of hearty applause. I heard the same sentiments from people in LA about the recent vote in their state to raise revenues, I think for education.
–Nor is a draft out of the question to these people. To my surprise, the same crowd in Seattle that applauded the tax hike also warmly welcomed my suggestion that the country would benefit from having some sort of draft.
–Overall, I sensed a kind of nostalgia for the days when government worked, and a fingers-crossed belief that it still can. It is amazing how potholed California's highways have become. One woman says she has her wheels realigned every three months.
–There sure didn't seem to be any recession in Seattle or San Francisco. But LA's Westwood neighborhood had a surprising number of vacant storefronts. I don't know LA well enough to interpret the significance of that. Real estate is the most local of businesses. I remember a smart guy telling me he only invested in commercial real estate on the north side of Orlando and stayed away from the city's south side, which he said was a whole different market, one distorted by Disney World's force field.

Publisher's Description
What could Jake do now?
He had promised Dad that he would stay close to his older brother when they went out trick-or-treating. But he felt so brave in his new Superman costume that he wasn't frightened when his brother ran ahead. He didn't call or try to catch up. But now he was lost and scared
He heard footsteps around the corner. A tall man in a dark uniform suddenly appeared. Jake stood completely still, but he could feel his knees shaking.
As the man came closer, Jake recognized him. He was a policeman
"Are you lost, Superman?" he asked.
"I...I sure am " replied Jake.
"What street do you live on?" asked the policeman.
"1152 Maple Street," Jake answered.
The policeman took Jake by the hand and led him home. He rang the doorbell and when Jake's father saw him, he swept him up in his arms and hugged him tightly. Jake was safe
Jake got lost because he disobeyed his dad. But did you know that everyone has disobeyed God? Sin is breaking God's laws, like cheating or lying or taking something that's not yours. The Bible says that we "all have sinned" and God cannot let any sin come into Heaven (Romans 3:23).
Even though we deserve to be punished because of our sins, God still loves us. In fact, He loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, from heaven to take our sins away. Jesus Christ was punished for our sins by dying on a cross (John 3:16). The Bible says, "Christ died for our sins...he was buried, and...He rose again the third day" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
After Jesus came back to life, He returned to Heaven to make a home for all who believe that He died for them and will turn from their sins. Have you ever asked Jesus to be your Savior and forgive your sins? You can say something like this:
"Dear Jesus, I know that I have done wrong things. Thank You for taking my punishment for me. I invite You to come into my life and take my sins away."

With the title being "Halloween Maze" I thought there would be a maze activity for the kids to do inside. If the child opened the booklet to see an activity, their interest would be peaked and I hoped they would read the message. Instead, the booklet opens to two solid pages of words. No child is interested in that - and I'm sure they got chucked in the trash. I will not order these again in the future and will probably just make my own for next year.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--?xml:namespace>
This was largely because prices of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, one of the company's main products, fell in the end of the third quarter in 2011, said the statement.
Tianye's operating income in 2011 rose by 5.3% year on year to CNY3.6bn, according to the statement.
The company aims to produce 280,000 tonnes of PVC resin, 220,000 tonnes of caustic soda and 300,000 tonnes of calcium carbide in 2012, the statement said.
In 2011, Tianye produced 260,000 tonnes of PVC resin, a decrease of 8.1% from 2010, and 191,700 tonnes of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda, a decrease of 11.4% from 2010, according to the statement.
The statement did not provide the volume of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda Tianye aims to produce in 2012 and the volume of calcium carbide produced by the company in 2011.

Brandi Glanville was feeling no pain when she left her birthday party Saturday night.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star literally had to be carried out — supported under each arm by two burly guys.
PHOTOS: Brandi Glanville Ties One On At her Birthday Bash
The party took place at Fleming's Prime Steak House & Wine Bar in Beverly Hills, and by the looks of it, Glanville took full advantage of the wine bar part in celebrating turning 41.
"My favorite people my favorite food @Flemings And I got Diamonds !! Happy scorpio day," Glanville tweeted after she recovered Sunday but without revealing who gave her the bling.
There was no sign of any other Housewives at the bash.

Platypus Platypreserve
The Platypus PlatyPreserve allows you to extend the life of your wine. Whether you are a connoisseur, an enthusiast or a casual admirer of wine, one truth remains: the delicate taste of wine change upon exposure to oxygen. That means wine is best enjoyed within a few hours of being opened. If not properly preserved, wine can go bad in as little as 2 to 8 hours. The PlatyPreserve is the best way to protect the taste of an opened bottle of wine by completely eliminating the presence of oxygen. While alternative methods might have you pump air out of the bottle or inject gas into the bottle, the PlatyPreserve has you transfer un-finished wine into an air tight reservoir to truly protect the taste of your wine so it may be enjoyed several days or even weeks later.

It does exactly what it's designed to do. Oh but how I wish I got one while they were on sale! I used two of them on my last (not so ultralight) hike. One for the whiskey and the other... for more whiskey of course! Now to defend my sanity, as you all probably think I belong in group meetings, there were 4 of us hiking. I, the more avid hiker, took on more gear weight (and to keep tabs on the whiskey). I'm not a big wine drinker, however these are great for whatever your flavor. They don't leech into your beverage, nor do they absorb the things you put in. So grab a few, fill them up, suck up the extra weight in your pack and toast the sunset from your next summit.

Versatile coconut merits another look
I have a long history with the coconut, starting when I was a child on a Navy base in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In our yard, we had a mile-high papaya tree, a wild and fruitful mango and several coconut palms, plus there were more elsewhere in the neighborhood. We loved it when the big bombs fell to the ground; we were never adept at scaling the spindly, sloping trees to pluck the fruit as we'd seen the locals do.
Armed with screwdrivers to get us started, my buddies and I would hack into the tough, fibrous husk to get to the fruit inside. Then we smashed the hard shells in the street.
We'd sit on the curb, pick out the meat and chomp away. An island delight for sure, but nothing like the sweetened flakes we are accustomed to today.
About coconut
You'll find lots of ways to buy coconut:
■ Fresh coconut. The hard-shelled fruit is found in the produce section with its husk removed.
■ Sweetened coconut. This is sometimes called flaked and can occasionally be found frozen.
■ Unsweetened coconut. Sometimes referred to as desiccated coconut, this is a grated, dried and unsweetened coconut meat.
■ Coconut water. The liquid from the center of the coconut. It's thin and has a subtle coconut flavor.
■ Coconut milk. Coconut water that has been mixed with the liquid from pressed coconut meat. It is unsweetened, but thicker and more flavorful than coconut water.
■ Cream of coconut. A sweetened, thick coconut cream used in baking and tropical cocktails such as pina coladas.
■ Coconut oil. Oil extracted from fresh coconut.
■ Coconut extract. Concentrated coconut flavoring is used mostly in baking to enhance taste.
Serves: 6 as appetizer; 4 as main course.
1½ cups shredded sweetened coconut
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½ cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails left on
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
For the dipping sauce:
½ cup mango preserves (or orange marmalade)
1 tablespoons dark rum
1. In a large bowl, combine coconut and breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. Place flour, eggs and breadcrumb mixture into 3 separate bowls.
2. Dredge the shrimp in flour and shake off excess. Next, dip the shrimp thoroughly in the egg and rub against the side of the bowl to lightly remove excess. Finally, coat the shrimp thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Lay out the shrimp so they do not touch on a parchment-lined baking sheet or platter until ready to fry.
4. In a large Dutch oven or deep-fryer, heat several inches of oil to 350 degrees. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd shrimp in the oil while frying. Drain on paper towels.
5. For the dipping sauce: Heat the mango preserves in a small saucepan over low heat. Thin with rum as desired.
Adapted from Ina Garten, Food Network
Yield: Makes 9 to 10 muffins, depending on size.
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1¼ cups coconut milk
¹/3 cup coconut oil (liquefied)
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup grated fresh coconut
For the topping:
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup grated fresh coconut
1 tablespoon solid coconut oil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, coconut milk, coconut oil and extract; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in coconut. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
2. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
Adapted from Allrecipes.com
Serves: about 12.
1 package (18.25 ounces) white-cake mix
1 can (14 ounces) cream of coconut
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 package (8 ounces) flaked coconut, toasted
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1. Prepare and bake white-cake mix according to package directions for a 9- by 13-inch pan. Remove cake from oven. While still hot, using a large-tined utility fork or even a chopstick, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
2. Mix cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk together. Pour over the top of the still-hot cake. Cool completely.
3. While cake is cooling, toast coconut. Place coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally and watch closely. Once it starts to brown, it will burn quickly because of the oil. Remove from pan immediately or the residual heat will continue to cook (and burn) coconut. Let cool completely.
4. Whip the cream with an electric beater until soft peaks form. This may take 5 minutes. Add flavorings and confectioners' sugar, continue until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat or cream will become grainy.
5. Once cake has cooled, spread whipped topping evenly over the top, then sprinkle with toasted coconut. Refrigerate immediately.
Note: This cake gets better after refrigeration. The topping will deflate slightly, but the coconut flavors get more intense. In our testing, it was still delicious two full days after it was made.

Cajun Favorites for Mountain Dulcimer
By Lois Hornbostel
Cajun Favorites for Mountain Dulcimer (With Musical Notation & Chords for Other Instruments). Composed by Lois Hornbostel. For Dulcimer (Mountain). Saddle-stitched, Solos. Cajun-Zydeco. Beginning-Intermediate. Book/CD Set. 72 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.98402BCD).
ISBN 9780786653416. Cajun-Zydeco. 8.75 x 11.75 inches.
This collection of sweet waltzes and lively two-steps presents an exciting new repertoire for mountain dulcimer players, with playing techniques for authentic style. A CD of all the music is included, and the notation and chords in standard keys can also be used for other instruments. This music suits the mountain dulcimer well because it comes from the Cajun accordion, which has the same simple diatonic scale. The easy melodies and chord progressions in this repertoire can be played by less experienced dulcimer players, while the tips on improvisation and embellished versions offer creativity for more experienced players. Music includes "Jolie Blon," "Mardi Gras Dance," "J'ai Passe Devant ta Porte," "Allons a Lafayette," "Madame Sosthene," "The Back Door.".

The Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet 1.6 litre is our choice of the range. It has most of the power of the 2 litre car without the added weight and costs. In comparison, the 1.8T seems extravigant for a car that doesn't focus on sporty performance.
It's not the greatest car to drive but then nobody buys a VW Beetle Cabriolet to go racing. That's only in the movies. In reality it's a fun, stylish car with a neat power hood and room for four adults. The wind won't bother them, or you, even at motorway speeds and reliability is as you would expect from Volkswagen. Prices were temptingly low for the lower powered cars, just leave the fast driving to Herbie. A Final Edition Beetle was launched at the beginning of 2010 with an all new car to follow it in 2013.

Bush skipping Texas for now, heading to Colorado
September 23, 2005
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President George W. Bush canceled
his trip to Texas on Friday to avoid interfering with the move
of a search-and-rescue team closer to the area where Hurricane
Rita was to hit, the White House said.
Instead of traveling to San Antonio, Bush will go straight
to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he will visit the U.S.
Northern Command.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the Federal
Emergency Management Agency decided to reposition the
search-and-rescue teams from San Antonio closer to the storm,
"and we didn't want to slow that decision up in any way. So we
made the decision that we would go straight to Colorado."
