I am a HUGE proponent of reinventing & repurposing older pieces of furniture ~ in fact, I have a Craigslist score getting a makeover as we speak. Taking an older piece, especially if it has some family or sentimental value, & breathing new life into it, makes sense on so many levels.
To inspire your own inner DIY creativity, first up is a desk that got a kelly green update ~
Chairs ~ especially one of smaller scale ~ can tuck into a nook in any living or sleeping space ~
Basic, unfinished furniture can get a one-of-a-kind look. And, when you get tired of your creation, a can of paint is all that stands between you and a whole new look ~
Another desk ~ & do not forget the power of new knobs & pulls when planning out your project ~ Anthropologie has some great ones ~
I love what this DIYer did with a basic $69- Ikea desk. Awesome job ~
It spent 12 years serving a family of 5, before being relegated to the garage ~
And, with the addition of some wood scraps & a fresh coat of paint, now looks like this ~
I'll be back on Tuesday with some more reinvention inspiration for you as well as my own reveal!

EACH cigarette a woman smokes pushes her closer to an early grave. Women who smoke heavily into middle age cut their lives short by around 10 years.
But quitting early pays off; kick the habit before 30 and the risk of premature death drops by 97 per cent (The Lancet, doi.org/jng).
The findings mirror results from a study of male smokers from 2004. "Whether men or women, smokers who stop before middle age will on average gain about 10 years of life," says Richard Peto of the University of Oxford, head of both studies.
Meanwhile, the health benefits of legislation banning smoking at work and in restaurants continue to accumulate. A review in Circulation of studies covering 33 smoke-free laws around the world found that, on average, far fewer people are being admitted to hospitals after heart attacks and strokes since anti-smoking laws came into force.

Summer is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy time with family and friends. Each year, an estimated 1 in 6 Americans (48 million) get sick from foodborne illness. Don't let a foodborne illness (aka food poisoning) spoil your fun. Follow these tips to keep your food safe:
Bacteria grow best at temperatures between 41-135°F – the Temperature Danger Zone. Keep food out of this temperature range as much as possible.
Use clean hands and utensils to prepare food
Cold food needs to stay at 40°F or below
o Need to use sufficient ice packs
o Pack cooler in air conditioned car, not trunk
o Keep cooler in shade
o Put drinks in separate cooler from food (prevent food from getting warm)
o Put leftovers in cooler soon after grilling or serving. Any food left out for more than one hour should be discarded.
Creamy Cauliflower Salad
2 C cauliflower broken into florets (about ½ head)
½ C diced onion
2 C chopped lettuce (romaine works well)
1 chopped red or green apple (Braeburn, Granny Smith)
¼ C light ranch dressing
1. Prepare cauliflower by rinsing well in cold water just before using it. Snap off the outer leaves and discard.
2. Use sharp knife and cutting board to slice off stem and hollow out and remove core.
3. Cut or break cauliflower into small pieces called florets
4. Toss cauliflower, onion, lettuce, and apples in a medium bowl.
5. Stir in dressing.
6. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Court documents show off early kickstand iPad, skinny iPhone prototypes
Apple experimented with an iPad with a kickstand, a super-skinny iPhone 4, and several other variants that have, up until now, not seen the light of day. The concepts come via court documents related to Apple and Samsung's ongoing legal dispute, and Bryan Bishop from The Verge has rounded them up for easy viewing.
Of particular note are multiple iterations of the iPad featuring different types of kickstands, what appears to be a 16:9 model with wide handles on either side, and an eight-sided iPhone with diagonal corners. Many of the iPad prototypes also feature "iPod" on the back, perhaps giving insight into Apple's early naming considerations.
Check out their gallery to see the assortment, then come back and let us know which are your favorites -- good, bad, and ugly.

Court documents show off early kickstand iPad, skinny iPhone prototypes
So it would be funny if the dialog went like this....
Judge: Apple, can you show the court how you came up with the iPad?
Apple: Sure. (pulls out list of prototype photos.
Judge: Samsung, can you show the court how you came up with your tablet?
Samsung: Uhm...sure. (pulls out a photo of the iPad).
LOL. Ok, I honestly don't care who copied the most. I really just wish the litigation would stop. But I thought it would be funny if the dialog happened similar to the above.
I agree. who cares who is copying who. But honestly, was there really any copying? You have a screen. You want to put it on a "tablet"( which is not new by the way. The tech just wasn't there until recently). You want to give it a "bezel" (which on paper is called a "margin") so you can hold it without covering the content. Screens are black when it's off. Paper is white when it's blank. So you made the whole thing black..
Guess how obvious decisions made it look? No one thinks this could have happened without copying? Let's say it was copied. Who cares?
I don't understand why people cheer on Apple in these lawsuits. The only ones benefiting are Apple shareholders. If Apple succeeds in litigating their competition away, you won't be very excited to buy the next iPhone. The features will trickle out without other options on the market. Monopolies hurt consumers.
I own both Apple and Android products. I would much (MUCH) rather they duke it out with increasingly better "copied" products than in the courts. That would mean we get more and better features; faster and at a lower cost. I love my gadgets. I'm sure many here do as well.
Apple needs to lose in the courts. Apple needs to stop with this patent nonsense so we, the non-shareholders, can win too.
Btw, the Ford Model T had 4 wheels and a steering wheel.
The picture above looks like it could be a Nokia Lumia 900 running iOS
About 18 months ago a chap at the pub pulled out a strange folding metal gadget, then placed his Blackberry PlayBook on it to read an article. Yet, virtually every tablet designer on the planet left out this obvious facility.
Even a little company like Archos realise the value of an integral kickstand and different size options, they have been doing sane things like that for years. F*** me - Even Microsoft managed to integrate a kickstand into the Surface design (then made a disproportionate song and dance about it, as if they had just discovered gravity). Some of the technology worlds favoured sons need to go back and read design 101.

A smiling dog is generally making noise and chewing at the same time. And that's exactly what Booda® SqueakBottles™ are designed to do. Each fun, plush sea-life character covers a crunchy water bottle topped with an enticing, squeaking bottle cap that makes noises at the slightest provocation. When the bottle won't crunch any more, screw in another garden variety water bottle and your pup is ready to squeak some more! Available in a variety of characters.
Petmate does not sell directly to the public, nor do we sell online through this Web site. We encourage you to print out your "wish list" of products, visit your local pet store and ask for Petmate by name!
Bought this toy (killer whale version) for my Australian Cattle Dog puppy almost two weeks ago. He loves squeaky toys. She loves (stuffingless) chew toys. She loves empty plastic water bottles. This toys is the trifecta of greatness! It has all three rolled into one cute and durable toy. My dog is also a very heavy chewer, meaning she chews often and has a very strong bite and tends to disembowel most toys but this one is still intact and going strong. My husband hates the squeaker but I love it. The squeaker is super durable. This has been an ongoing problem for us with such a strong chewer but this squeaker is super tough. A great buy for the strong chewer in your family.

Motorola ATRIX HD for AT&T becomes official
We have seen the Motorola ATRIX HD in the past, back when it was known as Dinara. Now suddenly we find the product page live on Motorola's website even before the company made any official announcements.
Looking at the ATRIX HD you can see a strong resemblance to the RAZR. The phone has a similar sleek profile and a Kevlar covered back that curves upwards near the camera. And the specs of the phone match its good looks. On the front we have a 4.5-inch HD LCD with ColorBoost technology and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. On the back is a 8 megapixel shooter that can also capture 1080p videos. Inside there is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB memory (expandable) and a 1,780mAh battery.
The phone runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and you can even see that it uses on-screen navigation controls like the Galaxy Nexus. The phone will be available on AT&T's LTE network. Pricing and release dates should be available when Motorola makes the official announcement.

Senate candidate Carly Fiorina won a much-desired endorsement in her bid to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer, that of former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Fiorina has in the past said she shares Palin's values, and apparently Palin agrees.
From the press release:
"Carly is the Commonsense
Conservative that California needs and our country could sure use in
these trying times. She's not a career politician. She's a
businesswoman who has run a major corporation. She knows how to
really incentivize job creation. Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in
real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the
private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits. We can
trust Carly to do the right thing for America's economy and to make
the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career,"
said Governor Palin. "Please consider that Carly is the
conservative who has the potential to beat California's liberal
senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. I'm a huge proponent of
contested primaries, so I'm glad to see the contest in California's
GOP, but I support Carly as she fights through a tough primary
against a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no
difference to Boxer, one of the most leftwing members of the Senate."

Thread: Books on perspective
September 25th, 2005 #1
Books on perspective
I started drawing a year ago, and have been drawing on and off since then. But during that whole year, I never attempted to draw a background. Probably because I knew I didn't have the technical knowledge to do so, but right now I'm in the mood to fix that.
I was wondering if any of you have experience with books on perspective in drawing. I would go and search for some tutorials online or something, but honestly, I would much rather be able to just read through a couple of hundred pages and have a good, solid understanding of perspective after that. I'm looking for something that can take me from knowing absolutely nothing about perspective to knowing all I need to know, and something I can keep on my bookshelf and grab as a reference later on.
I looked through Amazon.com, looking for books on perspective, reading through the customer reviews, but I didn't find one that I was sure about. I had someone recommend Perspective! for Comic Book Artists: How to Achieve a Professional Look in Your Artwork to me. But to be honest, I found the comic book approach more than a little discouraging. This is the only recommendation I've had so far, and I'd love some more. I figured this was the best place to ask, so please tell me if you know any good books on perspective drawing.

Actually, I just want to learn to draw in perspective. Be it backgrounds, people, elephants or what ever. ^^

you will learn it automatically while drawing, but it you studie it directly you will, of course, become much better. Try it with people.

Perspective Drawing by Ernst Norling is a really nice guide to drawing anything in perspective. Check out the works of Andrew Loomis as well, including Figure Drawing For All It's Worth - it has an excellent section on perspective. For drawing backgrounds and stuff, be sure to pay special attention to the use of diagonals in your constructions- you'll find that Diagonals Rule The Universe!
September 25th, 2005 #6
Thank you. Amazon didn't have Perspective Drawing in stock, but searching for books by the author, I found Perspective Made Easy, a really cheap book that people had nothing but good to say about. Reading the description and reviews, it looks like it's exactly what I was looking for.

dont undermine this book just because the comic book part. this book is amazing and will teach you almost everything youll ever want to know about perspective. but if you get it tryt not to rush through it try to understand each perspective and at theback of the book theres alot of perspective / geometrical goodies.

How hard core do you want? The comic book one that was mentioned is pretty decent for illustration purposes. Also, this is a book I have that is pretty good too, well rounded:
I ask "how hard core" because I have a textbook at work for constructing perspective drawings of existing buildings/environments. That's geared towards creating "correctly" scaled perspective drawings for architectural renderings. ("Correctly" being a sort of misnomer since perspective drawings are always going to be approximations to some extent.) I forget the author's name at the moment but if I remember I will post it tomorrow.

Emraan Hashmi has never starred in a true blue romantic film and feels he is "pretty twisted" to ever feature in one.
"I don't know about my sensibility, I don't know about the way I look and if I fit in with my looks into a love story, whatever. But I think I am pretty twisted in my head to do a traditional romantic film," the 33-year-old said here Tuesday at the launch of the DVD of "Raaz 3."
"My idea of romance is also extremely quirky and twisted. I don't think the world is ready for it yet," he added.
Meanwhile, talking about "Raaz 3" director Vikram Bhatt, Emraan said: "Vikram has made horror a real mainstream genre which I am very happy about because it's my favourite genre."
Vikram Bhatt's latest production "1920: Evil Returns" has also been well-received by the audience.
Emraan's upcoming films include "Ghanchakkar", "Unglee" and Dharma Production's next project.

By Jean Ortiz Jones, University Communications
In a 5,000-square-foot underground laboratory not far from Memorial Stadium, UNL researchers continue to make strides to solving some of the world's most intriguing problems.
Under the direction of physicist Donald Umstadter, researchers in UNL's Extreme Light Laboratory are focusing light to the highest intensities ever achieved. They are developing the proton beams that could someday destroy cancerous cells. They are giving homeland security and defense officials the ability to detect nuclear materials hidden within cargo containers. And they are developing radiation sources that can be used to diagnose cracks in turbine blades before they lead to catastrophic jet engine failure.
With its applications ranging from science and medicine to defense and security, the lab's centerpiece, the ultra-powerful Diocles laser, has helped propel UNL's laser research to new heights. It also has made Umstadter and his team pioneers of high-field physics and laser research.
The uniqueness of the laser facility has led to important collaborative research opportunities with researchers throughout the country. UNL works with researchers from the University of Michigan's Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Center on Monte Carlo simulations – with parameter inputs from UNL, Michigan runs the computational algorithms to predict experimental results and the Extreme Light Laboratory conducts the physical experiment. Then they collaborate to analyze how closely the simulation predicted the actual experimental results. Umstadter came from MU in 2005 to develop the Diocles.
"Academic research is occasionally described as 'academic' not because it's conducted at universities but instead because it's not immediately practical. Such fundamental research is well worth pursuing because one never knows where it will eventually lead. But one reason that our project is so exciting is because not only does it have this unpredictable discovery-driven aspect, it also has several practical and important applications that can benefit society in the near term." - Donald Umstadter
The lab, located in Behlen Laboratory, is in the midst of an expansion. After receiving nearly $2 million in federal stimulus funds from the National Science Foundation last year, UNL is renovating Behlen's basement and sub-basement to convert outdated physics labs and offices into a state-of-the-art, high-power laser collaborative laboratory, known as the High Power Laser Science Collaboratory.
Among other features, the expansion will include space for a chamber for a second high-power laser, which Umstadter and his team will build with funding from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
What is special about the Diocles laser?
It has the highest combination of peak and average power of any in the U.S. In fact, its peak power (1014 watts) is greater than all of the world's power plants combined. The trick is that the burst of light only lasts a tiny fraction of a second (10-14 seconds).


text: Port is an experimental Didone typeface with a modern twist, inspired in the well known forms of typography masters such as Bodoni and Didot and the exuberance and elegance of calligraphy typefaces. Port melts the straight lines and strong contrasts of the Didone typefaces with the elegant lines of calligraphy in a geometric way, resulting in exuberant characters with geometric swashes that can be combined in countless ways. The result of this experiment is Port, an unique display typeface meant to be used on big sizes and it's main perk is the amount of alternative characters it features. Port is Open-Type programmed and includes hundreds of alternates, from swashes to titling alternates, ligatures and stylistic sets with each character having a thin version of itself, giving complete freedom to all your creative needs. Port family members include various styles: Port Regular, being the base version and meant to be used on big sizes, Port Regular Decorated, containing ornamentated and more extravagant characters, Port Medium and Port Medium Regular, designed for the occasions you need more thickness and the decoration variants: Port Ornaments, containing a wide set of elements meant for the creation of fillets, vignettes and fleurons, resulting in an almost infinite number of possible combinations to embellish your designs and Port Words, a set of some of the most common words used in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese.

After the first session of the Special Criminal Court (SCC) that took place on November 12, 2012, another hearing of the special tribunal that is based in Yaounde will take place this November 19, 2012.
The first case which opened deliberations at the SCC was that opposing Yves Michel Fotso and Ntongo Onguene against the Cameroon Airports Authority (ADC). Both men are being accused jointly of involvement in the embezzlement of state funds amounting to FCFA 316,570,780 and FCFA 230 million.
During the first hearing, the session was chaired by the President of the Special Criminal Court, Yap Abdou and the main focus was the identification of the accused and the publication of the list of witnesses. Although Yves Michel Fotso opted during the hearing to refund the sum of FCFA 230 million, the court first of all wanted him to accept that he was guilty of embezzlement before offering to pay any amount. A second hearing of the case will take place today.
The second matter that will come up for hearing, simultaneously with the first, at the SCC is that of a Malian, Djibril Traoré against CAMTEL and Justice Eloundou Virginie will be the presiding judge. According to the facts of the matter, Djibril Traoré was caught behind a place called le Combattant in Yaounde on the night of 18th breaking 19th of April 2012 stealing CAMTEL cables. Some 3,600 metres of cable estimated at FCFA 74,751,568 million was said to have been unearthed by Djibril Traoré. Inhabitants of the area caught Traoré in the act and immediately called the Rapid Intervention Unit of the Police, ESIR. It will be the first time that the matter will be heard by the Special Criminal Court.
Created by Law N° 2011/028 of 14 December 2011, amended and supplemented by Law N° 2012/011 of 16 July 2012, the SCC in Section 2 (new) says: "The Court shall be competent to hear and determine matters of misappropriation of public property and related offences where the value of the loss is at least fifty million (50,000,000) francs CFA as provided for by the Penal Code and International Conventions ratified by Cameroon." The SCC will therefore not only be involved in matters of embezzlement of state funds, but also cases that have to do with misappropriation of state property that conform to its provisions.

Lady Tigers Ranked Ninth in Final NSCAA Poll
Dec. 7, 2011
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Capping of a magical season, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) has ranked the University of Memphis women's soccer team No. 9 in the final poll for the 2011 season.
"I think this final ranking is another step in the right direction for this program," head coach Brooks Monaghan said. "We've set the bar really high here at the University of Memphis for women's soccer and we hope to carry this momentum into next season."
Memphis climbed as high as No. 5 in the poll and finishes the season ranked in the poll for the first time in program history. The Lady Tigers closed the season ranked No. 3 in the Soccer America poll, the highest-ranking for the program at any point of a season.
The Lady Tigers will return 22 players, including seven starters, from the squad that posted a 22-1-1 record, the best record in program history.

Keeping Safe in Cold Weather
Mother Nature has once again given us the "cold shoulder." In fact, this year's artic freeze has been so cold that on several days the wind chill has been less than zero degrees Fahrenheit, cold enough to cause frostbite within five minutes on unprotected skin. Needless to say, it is important to know how to protect yourself from the dangers of this cold weather season.
If you notice your skin looking mottled, pale and are experiencing pins and needles in your hands, feet, nose, ears or cheeks, then you are in the beginning phase of cold weather danger. This first alert is called frost nip, and is completely reversible if you act quickly and get into a warm room or shelter.
If you try to "tough it out" and ignore the warning signs of frost nip, there is a strong chance of developing frostbite. This is where tiny ice crystals start to form in your skin tissue. In many cases and with the proper care recovery from frostbite is usually complete. However, you must act quickly.
Key Clues
If you're worried that you may have developed frost bite, it is important to be on the look-out for certain key symtpoms:
- a tiny white dot on the nose or on the tip of one or more fingers
- skin discoloration that appears pale or gray in dark skinned individuals, and in those who are fair skinned, yellow or white
- numbness in the cold affected area
- itching, burning or a real sharp pain
If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is important to get the proper first aid. If the early cold weather injury signs of frost nip and frostbite are totally ignored, then a condition known as hypothermia may result.
Hypothermia causes the "Umbles"
Hypothermia occurs when a person's core body temperature decreases to a level below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, where normal muscular and brain operations are impaired. This is a medical emergency and a potential killer. If you're concerned that a loved one may have developed hypothermia than it is important to look out for the "Umbles" -- you know, when a person mumbles, stumbles, fumbles and grumbles.
These "umbles" can occur when a person is showing the signs of hypothermia. Picture someone outside on a cold windy winter day who has trouble holding onto objects, is speaking with a slight slur, is having uncontrolled shivering and does not seem to be thinking straight, sort of like they are in a fog. If you see a person acting like this, get them inside into a warm environment. If they do not improve in a short time, call your physician or go to the closest emergency room.
Who is at Risk?
The very young and the elderly are at an increased risk, but so are people with medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. Also, certain medications can increase one's risk of getting this cold weather-related illness because they interfere with our body's own heat regulation system (ask your doctor about this if you're concerned).
Additionally, people whose occupation keeps them outdoors or in cold environments have an increased risk. Even if you are outside taking a walk or exercising, you must be aware of the signs and symptoms of hypothermia.
Protect Yourself
When you are exposed to this type of environment, the first line of defense is to wear comfortable and dry clothing. If your clothing gets wet, it is difficult for your body to maintain its normal temperature. For people who work or exercise in cold environments, wear clothing made of polypropylene next to your body as this material will wick away the perspiration and keep your body dry. Next, dress in layers and wear clothes that are loose fitting. One big and large coat over a tee shirt will not be very helpful.

Home to a variety of internal cumshot porn, you'll find more than just mature ladies getting creampies. There's also lots of fucking that ends with a dude blowing his load in a mom's mouth or all over her ass. The dames vary in age but they all love receiving doses of jizz. What the site doesn't love though is updating or providing much content. Skip this one
If you like interracial sex and mature chicks then you'll love seeing these old broads being fucked by one of the two hung black dudes (whichever one isn't fucking plays the role of cameraman). These mature amateurs range from 40 to 60 years old and what they lack in youthful looks, they make up for in enthusiasm and skill in some of these great-looking vids.
The years have been very kind to mature women found on this website. Maybe it's all the hot spunk facials that keep their faces looking so fresh. Site members can enjoy scenes that feature posing, masturbation, lesbian action and sex. There are lots of movies and they're all high in quality. Unfortunately, the videos get rotated and they aren't exclusive.
Mature Russian amateur ladies and dudes hang out together and get drunk. And as we all know, drinking leads to sex. These couples suck and fuck and stop to drink more and even pass out a little sometimes. The action is true drunken fucking which you will appreciate. What you won't appreciate though, is the small amount of content and the lack of any updating.
This individual model site focuses on a rather mature "girl" sharing the spotlight with her girlfriends who are kinky, like her. You'll see stripteases, masturbation, blowjobs, lesbian and straight sex, even orgies. Balloon and smoking fetishes are explored too. Some of the modest number of vids look good, but there's too little here to make joining worth it.
Andrew and Jill are an elderly couple who aren't letting their age slow them down. They're still fucking just like they used to and you can see that for yourself by checking out the HD videos that can be found on their website. However, you might not want to bother giving the site a peek, because it's really quite small and it isn't getting any bigger.
Older women don't always want to just fuck older men and on this site they don't! These mature babes get the younger cocks they desire and their wet pussies can take everything these energetic dudes can give them - and they make the guys cum all over them. The quality of the collection is high, but the scenes are all nonexclusive, which is disappointing.
These mature babes may be of different shapes, sizes and ages, but they all have two things in common: horniness and being caught on hidden camera. See them dressed or undressed, taking showers and having sex. You'll also see them fingered while they sleep. You're not getting the highest-quality videos, but it's a good site for fans of mature voyeur porn.
On this website, mature British babes take themselves to orgasm, fool around with other women and get fucked by horny guys. You can see them get naughty in hot videos that look pretty good and are fully exclusive. There aren't all that many movies to view overall and there aren't any more on the way, so sadly, the site isn't nearly as great as it could be.
This site's women are in their sexual prime and thye all put on some sizzling shows in their videos. You can see them sucking dick, taking cock in their pussies and getting their faces covered in cum in lots of HD videos when you get yourself a membership. None of the flicks are exclusive, but that doesn't make them any less entertaining. Check out the site.
The mature women featured on this site are all very horny and it shows. When you check out their videos, you can see the babes getting themselves off by fingering their pussies and playing with sex toys. There are lots of movies for you to stream and download and they all come in an HD format. Be aware, though, that none of them are exclusive to the website.
They wouldn't be mothers if they hadn't had their pussies plowed and creamed, but apparently these mature mommies are opting for a little variety in their sex lives. MILFs and older ladies enjoy threesomes with chicks ranging from coeds to elderly. There are lots of pussies being pleasured, but there isn't enough content to pleasure you to get a membership.
Do you like your pussy truly well aged? I don't just mean a little mature, but the kind of wrinkled orifice that needs lots of sperm to get it moistened up. That's what this website offers you. It's got a decent amount of content and the porn looks pretty good. Be aware, though, that none of it is exclusive and that the last update was back in November 2013.
This mostly great-quality site offers a terrific mix of softcore and hardcore content featuring hot mature babes of all shapes and sizes, ranging from bony broads to BBWs. There are younger MILFs right up to older ladies boarding on GILF territory. With masturbation, blowjobs and doggy-style fucking among the many other positions, so you should enjoy it lots.
With a good number of high-quality videos that show older women having hot sex, you might just want to join this raunchy website. However, you should be aware that it has some flaws. For starters, it's a bit pricey to join. Another issue is that only offers nonexclusive content. A third problem is that it rotates its movies and doesn't post new ones anymore.
Older pussies doesn't need to be overgrown, because moms can easily take a razor to their own muffs or have someone else do it. Mothers might also want to make sure that their loves, male or female, have shaved pubes too. Once the pubic hair is gone it is time for cunnilingus, BJs and fucking in average-quality vids. The content is pretty unique though.
Housewives can't keep their appetite for cock in check and give into extramarital sex. They get their pussies stuffed with strange cocks, have anal sex and engage in ass-to-mouth action. Their wives might be cheating on them, but the husbands are still lucky to have hotties like these. We're unlucky to have so few of them cheating and no more are planning to.
Sometimes you need to watch a lady with experience rock a cock. And that's what this mature porn site provides you with. Not every babe here is wrinkly or has attained grandma status, but there are a few. They masturbate, get fucked, have lesbian sex and titty-fuck. But you should know that the videos are generally low in quality and it isn't all exclusive.
Mature ladies get down and dirty in hardcore sex sessions that prove that the older the chick, the rougher she likes it. Whether you want your XXX action to feature sexy pornstars, MILFs or horny grannies, you can get all kinds of pussy here. The vids are HD, but unfortunately there really isn't much content available and they aren't updating so skip it.
Mindy is basically the poster gal for hardcore amateur MILF action. She's a blonde who is perfectly proportioned, so you'll want to check her out and you can do so by downloading her vids. She makes a good number of them available and they're hot, but only average in quality. If Mindy is your type of woman, you might find it worthwhile to join her site.
If you have a thing for older women then you'll love the ladies on this hardcore site. These horny gals masturbate, lick pussy and take a cock in all their holes. The vids aren't exclusive, but they are hot and look good. The website rotates its content, so it isn't growing, but as a member you get access to over 50 bonus sites, some with more mature porn.
These sexy MILFs love showing off their tight mature bodies, especially on the beach. They can't get enough of those skimpy bikinis and they like pulling their thongs up and burying them deep inside their dark holes. Watch these hot babes play on the shore or roll around in the sand in Full HD videos. Too bad there are so few of them and that updates stopped.
Horny MILFs of all shapes and sizes get down and dirty on this site. From anal sex to hot gangbangs, there is a good amount of variety to take in. There are quite a few vids to stream and download and they all look good. None of them are exclusive, but there're still worth watching. At this point, no new ones are on the way, because the site rotates its porn.
Mature ladies with a ton of sexual experience just love big cocks. Horny as hell, they love taking dick in their mature pussies. Expect nothing but sagging natural tits, meaty pussy lips and aging assholes. From MILFs in their mid-30s to hot grannies, this site's good amount of HD content will fulfill your wild older lady fantasies, even if updates are over.
The mature women here aren't letting their advanced years slow them down. The performers are mostly GILFs and their skills rival even the most junior partners. They're penetrating their wet muffs with their fingers and toys and also having threesomes and hooking up with other aged babes. Too bad they stopped updating and the content is below-average quality.
From the region that gave us Jack Daniel's and Southern Comfort comes another fine taste of the South, Alabama. She's a horny cougar who poses, masturbates and shows off her blowjob skills. She's got some high-res pics, but really there aren't that many sets and there aren't any vids, nor updates on the way. Even with bonuses, this site doesn't seem worth it.
We all have an obligation to pass our wisdom on to those less-experienced souls. Such has been the case since the days of tribalism. In fact, here you can watch middle-aged mommies getting downright tribal on young pussy. Content looks good here, but there's not much here and this site isn't growing. Even the many bonuses on hand can't make it worth joining.
Here's a raunchy equation for you: Sexy MILFs + lots of booze = a damn good time! The proof is in the proverbial pudding here because whenever one of these yummy mommies downs a few drinks, they follow up them up with dropping their pants! Watch as these older babes have some of the wildest sex and give a bunch of great blowjobs. You'll see drunken dads too.
Kristin is a hot MILF who loves to fool around on her husband, although he doesn't seem to mind. You'll see one of her gal pals drag her out of her hotel room on a trip they're on together. After they've gone out to eat they then regroup back in the room for some wild lesbian threesome fun with but with so few vids the site is just not worth your while.
The stunning MILFs found on this website are horny and most of them have black men help them get off. You can see the babes giving great blowjobs and getting fucked in a good number of high-quality videos. The vids aren't exclusive, but they're very hot. It seems like it's been a while since the last flick was posted, but the website is still worth visiting.
The sexy ladies on this website are a little older and they can be seen masturbating and also hooking up with hung studs who are often several years their junior. Unfortunately, you don't get too many chances to see them in action, because the site is small and it has some stopped growing. It has left us with some good-quality videos and some high-res photos.
Amateur MILF Laney is definitely in her sexual prime and she wants to try everything. From anal sex to DPs to toys to cum-eating, she is open to it all and does it all with a smile and a wet pussy. Unfortunately, the quality of her vids don't live up to the quality of her. And no matter how much content she adds you won't want to spend the time watching them.
The women who appear on this website are European ladies who happen to be in their 40s, 50s and 60s. Luckily for us, they haven't gotten shy about their bodies as they've grown older. They know they still look good and that's why they can be seen posing and stripping for us. Some of the naughtier gals even let us look on as they masturbate with sex toys.
Julia is the star of this site and she's a GILF with a killer body and giant tits. This horny grandma loves getting it on with black dudes as well as with the groups of men and women that she meets in biker bars. You can see Julia in action without spending too much money, but you might not want to drop the cash on her because her content is low in quality.
Get to know some hot horny amateurs more personally with a interview that ends in wild masturbation on this worthwhile site. These gorgeous hotties reveal their luscious nubile bodies to a never-seen cameraman in videos that are currently shot in Full HD. Then they reach down to their warm, wet pussies to pleasure themselves with fingers, toys and vibrators.
A horny, sexy amateur swinger and all her sexual adventures are right here for your viewing pleasure. You will find lots of action, including gangbangs, solo, lesbian and group sex. This blonde MILF has an insatiable libido and many of her 50 or so videos are excellent-quality. However, site design has some issues and updating isn't very frequent either.
This collection resembles another so it boasts a massive amount of diverse porn. Still, you'll see some MILFs doing the neighborly thing fucking the entire block. If her son's band mate needs a blowjob or a pupil tutored begs for sex, these horny moms deliver. If you want an experienced lay, you don't have to go far, because these horny mommies are next door.
Lara is a feisty British MILF who can't seem to get enough cock and pussy. Luckily for you, she likes it when you're there to watch her on crazy sexploits. Watch as this married beauty gets it on with hot young studs and lesbians alike. This is one amateur you won't want to miss. But the price being charged is a little high for how much you get at this point.
Whether you've been dreaming of a gal who's old but still randy, or soft and curvy, you can probably find your dream gal here. You could even get a few lusty chicks who aren't just mature and massive, but ready for a raunchy suck and fuck party, too. Sure, the collection is nonexclusive, but there are hundreds of scenes so it is worth considering a membership
Older ladies don't let their sex lives die out as their hair goes gray, they just ramp up the dirty action instead. Experienced hotties display their sexy bodies and aged pussy then get down to raunchy poundings with a fresh-faced hunk. The collection is nonexclusive but the hundreds of good-quality videos and photo sets make it still worth considering.

YIELD: Makes 8 individual corn puddings
Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter eight 1/2-cup ramekins
Into a large bowl coarsely grate corn. With back of a large knife, gently scrape each cob and add any remaining pulp and liquid to bowl. (There should be about 2 cups grated corn with liquid.)
In a bowl whisk together remaining ingredients and stir into corn until combined well. Ladle mixture evenly into ramekins. Put ramekins in a baking pan just large enough to hold them and add enough hot water to reach halfway up sides of ramekins.
Bake corn puddings in middle of oven 50 minutes, or until tops are slightly puffed and golden and firm to the touch. Remove ramekins from water and cool slightly on rack, about 5 minutes. Run a knife around edges of ramekins and invert each pudding onto a serving plate.

What to bake with sour cherries?
Picked up a quart of sour cherries at the farmers market this morning knowing how hard these things are to find. (Also picked up a pint of sweet cherries, but I know what I'm doing with those - rinse and stuff face.)
I'm also a nice person who intends to share with my roommates, one of whom is deathly allergic to milk products (and peanuts and tree nuts - almonds are fine). Thus the original idea of a clafoutis or this lovely tarte aux griottes is completely out.
Currently thinking Sour Cherry "Clams" from this website, using vegan puff pastry, but I'm open to any and all ideas.
So what would you do with a single quart of sour cherries?

Bling is the thing on cars at Detroit auto show
The tail lamps on the high-performance version of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee are tinted black, giving it an ominous look. Ralph Gilles, a Chrysler design leader, noted the lamps are "kind of like death."
"They look like they're really staring at you. If you look at them they're all dark inside. You can't even see the lens," Gilles says.
He says it's the first time Chrysler has done such headlamps. The vehicle, he added, "can pretty much be sinister if you want it to."
He says designers wanted to create something unique that "owners will love."
The headlights on Land Rover's small SUV - the Range Rover Evoque - also give that vehicle "a bit more of the sinister look," according to IHS Automotive analyst Rebecca Lindland. The slim lamp also represents an advance in functionality.
"The great thing with lighting technology is that you can actually have a very narrow light and still have a tremendous amount of road illumination," she says.
When it comes to headlights, there's bling, and then there's the king of bling.
The Acura RLX's headlights look like a crystal chandelier, courtesy of a horizontal collection of lenses and LED light that has been split and directed in a beam pattern, according to Hulick of Osram Automotive.
He says Acura's lights are a great example of a vehicle being simultaneously eye-catching and illuminating with the help of LEDs.
"Lighting, in my opinion, has replaced chrome as the jewelry on the car."
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck has a practical feature that breaks up the boring horizontal view of the bumper.
There are two steps that make it easy to climb into the bed to fetch tools or tie down a load. The steps are inset into the corner of the bumpers, and even have treads to stop work shoes from slipping.
The always-ready steps could give GM an advantage over other automakers in an increasingly competitive pickup market, especially with buyers who constantly are going in and out of the truck bed.

Hey guys. How ya doing today? Great? Me too (not really, but let's pretend everyone in my house has slept and not been plagued by ongoing night terrors, ok?). So, let's talk about towels. I know. It is exciting. Thanks for playing along.
I've seen these Turkish towels, peshtamals, pop up all over the place for a while now. Not only are they prettier than your average terry cloth, they claimed to be more absorbent, take up less space, to dry quickly, etc. etc. Plus, you know, trendy. Just what every good bathroom needs. Practically speaking though, they did seem to have some benefits. We have a teeny, tiny bathroom (6 foot square. Four people. Yes) with no ventilation. There's a window vent, but you don't want that open in the winter. So towels that take up less space and dry quickly were appealing. As ours were getting gross, I decided to give these a try.
After much searching I purchased them from Etsy. (here and here) The ones sold as a set shipped from Turkey. I ordered those suckers December 26th and they arrived last week. So, there's that. The other ones, which, btw, seem exactly the same, shipped from Atlanta. They arrived the same week they were ordered. And they are cheaper without a sale.
But on to the review. What you came here for, yes? Unsolicited product reviews. As advertised, they take up significantly less space. I can now store my extra towels in a basket 1/3 the size of the one needed for my old towels. And with their narrower hanging profile, there is finally room for us to add more hooks. We only have three, as when we redid the bathroom there were just three of us. And they dry very quickly. Considering how thin they are they must be more absorbent. They are more effective as cover ups as they are much longer than a regular towel and they stay up better (great for when the in-laws are in and you've forgotten your robe). They are also, I think, prettier. And I do like pretty.
But. They are not terry cloth. They take some getting used to, as you have to put a bit more effort into drying off. Its weird, you feel like you're not getting dry but then suddenly you're more dry than you would be with a regular towel. They have an exfoliating quality, although that is diminishing somewhat with repeated washings. I kind of like it. They get really wet when you're drying off, so by the end, in our old house, in winter, they're a little chilly. Especially if you're drying off longer hair.
My kids have mixed feelings about them. Roan loves them. He particularly loves being wound up in one after the bath like a mummy. Emmeth oscillates between tolerating them and hating them, depending on where she is on the sensory scale after her shower. She would prefer the soft, mostly because she refuses to put the effort into rubbing the towel around to get dry and just stands in the bathroom yelling "I'm wet". It's ridiculous.
So there you are. My review of the currently on-trend peshtamal towel. Would I buy them again? I think so, I like having a dry towel that doesn't smell of mildew (yes, I washed the old ones in baking soda, etc. It helped, for a while). Would I buy them if I didn't have our bathroom and storage constraints? I'm not sure.
Anyone else use these?
I had to laugh about Emmeth standing in the bathroom yelling, "I'm wet!" I know exactly which one of my children would do the same thing …

Canon takes second shot at LCDs

Bright picture for digital TV sales, study saysApril 12, 2004
Canon shoots at Chinese piratesApril 12, 2004
The imaging and printing company diversified into displays in 1995 with a 14.5-inch ferroelectric liquid-crystal display (LCD). Because Canon was the sole backer of the technology at that time, developments costs were high, which led to higher prices for the product. Rivals like Sharp reaped the benefits of commoditization by putting their weight behind LCDs based on the more mainstream technology known as thin film transistor.
Ferroelectric LCDs "were abandoned because they cannot give cost reductions," Canon CEO Fujio Mitarai said. However, he told reporters at a news conference here that he is "quite confident" the company's second crack at flat panels will yield better returns.
Canon's renewed display ambitions are anchored on another proprietary technology called surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED), which allows for displays that are thinner and require less energy than TFT displays. In 1999, Canon joined hands with Toshiba to jointly develop SED flat panels.
Canon is incorporating the SED displays into television sets.
"If we believe future communications will be using motion picture, then viewing the motion picture will be important. We cannot do away with the TV, " Mitarai said, adding that the company's first SED televisions are expected to debut by 2005.
Besides Canon, computer makers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard have also diversified into the burgeoning digital television market. According to a recent study by research firm In-Stat/MDR, worldwide shipments of digital TV sets will reach 93 million units annually in 2008, up from a projected 17 million units this year.
Winston Chai of CNETAsia reported from Shanghai.

- Patented Ferroelectric OLED Display Info
- Colossal Storage is desirous of licensing two U.S. Patents, # 6,028,835 2/22/00 and
# 6,046,973 4/4/00, which can be used for many hundreds of devices one being a ferroelectric electron emission device using an Integrated Semiconductor UV/Deep Blue Laser for Re-Programmable Ferroelectric OLED Displays.
Some organic/inorganic molecules have resonant valence orbit electrons that under the proper Quantum UV/Blue photo excitation allow conduction band electrons to move freely for a short time. Plasmon known as electric current along with the electric field present providing a mechanism for ferroelectric perovskite molecules to switch binary positions. The unique concept of resonant absorption excitation by UV/Blue light causing molecular dissociation and simultaneous electric field application ( Pockels effect ) can be used to switch the ferroelectric molecule ( Atomic Switch ).
The bistable state nucleus in the center of a ferroelectric dipole molecule can therefore be used to create a programmable OLED light source for many applications like computer display, credit card display, cellular phone display, television screen display, monitors, special displays, automobile, etc..
Ferroelectric non-linear photonic bandgap crystals offer the possibility of controlling and manipulating light within a UV/Deep Blue frequency. The small size of ferroelectric transparent structures makes it possible to fabricate nano-optical devices like OLED ferroelectric displays.
The outstanding potentials of ferroelectric molecular materials will revolutionize optical display technologies along with several challenges in design, optimization, fabrication, and characterization and provide for further extensive research and development activities in the field of ferroelectric materials.
Colossals use of electron clouds in ferroelectric materials can be used to Turn ON / OFF a phosphorus display with NO light energy source requirement for Infinite ON / OFF Non-Destructive ( switch with memory ) switching.
Colossal Storage Corp. expects its unique nanotechnology to set the stage for world competition in bright, high definition, inexpensive, high energy saving OLED displays for the future.

Obama, Maroney 'not impressed' photo goes viral
- President Barack Obama jokingly mimics U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look while greeting members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams in the Oval Office, Nov. 15, 2012. Steve Penny, USA Gymnastics President, and Savannah Vinsant laugh at left. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
(AP) - Even McKayla Maroney was impressed.
A photo of the Olympic gold medalist gymnast and President Barack Obama doing her now-famous "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" face went viral Saturday after the White House posted it on Twitter.
The two took the picture Thursday when Maroney and her Fierce Five teammates visited the White House.
"He was the one who brought it up," Maroney told The Associated Press. "We were about to leave and he said, 'I want to talk to you one second about the face.' He said, 'I pretty much do that face at least once a day.'"
Maroney was photographed making the half scowl with her nose scrunched up while she was on the medals podium after winning silver on vault at the London Olympics. It spawned dozens of "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" memes - including one showing a photoshopped Maroney in the White House Situation Room on the night Osama Bin Laden was killed.
The "face" has become Maroney's trademark. But it's one thing for fans to ask her about it, quite another when the president does.
"I, like, freaked out," Maroney said. "He said, 'Let's do it together.' We took a picture and now it's everywhere."
The entire U.S. Olympic team visited the White House earlier this fall, but the Fierce Five missed it because they're doing a 40-city nationwide tour. But the show, which ends Sunday in New York, was in Washington on Thursday night, so Maroney, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and Jordyn Wieber got their own private visit.
The Fierce Five had talked to Obama in London, where they became just the second U.S. women's team to win the Olympic title, and first since 1996. But it was neat to meet him in person, Maroney said.
"He's the coolest person I ever met," she said - which is saying something, considering the Fierce Five have hobnobbed with a Who's Who of celebrities since London. "He's got the hardest job in the entire world."
Maroney had hinted on Twitter that she had done "the face" at the White House, saying, "Did I just do the Not Impressed face with the President." But she didn't know when - or even if - the White House was going to release the photo.
Her father saw it first and sent Maroney a text message. It wasn't long before pretty much everyone was passing it around.
"It's really funny," she said. "Because it's like everywhere."

Maputo — Mozambican President Armando Guebuza, speaking in his capacity as chairperson of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), declared in Brussels on Monday that he is willing to continue working to establish a climate of peace in Guinea-Bissau.
He was speaking at a meeting with CPLP ambassadors in the Belgian capital on the eve of the European Development Days (EDD), a two day event due to begin on Tuesday. The crisis in Guinea-Bissau, where the legitimate government was deposed in a military coup in April, was the main theme of the meeting.
"We stand beside the people of Guinea-Bissau, and we shall continue to do all in our power so that the difficulties they face today may be overcome, and they return to living in peace", Guebuza said.
For Guebuza, coordination of action between various regional and international organisation is fundamental in searching for a solution to the current political situation in Guinea-Bissau.
He added that, during the latest meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, it was decided to send to Bissau a joint mission of the CPLP, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union and the UN itself to assess the situation and recommend measures to stabilize the country.
But Guebuza warned that it was up to the Guinean actors themselves to play the central role in solving their country's problems, prioritizing channels of dialogue, which he regarded as "a powerful mechanism for building consensus".
As for participation in the EDD, Guebuza regarded this as a further opportunity for strengthening the relations between the European Union and the CPLP member states, and "to express our appreciation for the support we have received for the various development programmes in our country".
The ambassador from Sao Tome and Principe asked Guebuza to use his position to reactivate the organisation of the African countries that use Portuguese as their official language (PALOP).
Guebuza replied that there was no need to reactivate PALOP since, at the 2011 summit in Luanda, when Angola was coordinating the PALOP, it was decided that, whenever there is a CPLP meeting it should be preceded, if possible, by a conference between the PALOP members.
At the latest CPLP summit, held in Maputo in August, such a PALOP meeting took place "and the importance of these meetings was clear, because there are forums such as the African Union, in which the other members of the CPLP are not present".
Guebuza also held a meeting with the ambassadors to Brussels of members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a second international organisation that he currently chairs.
He announced that in 2013 Mozambique will host a high level conference to mobilise resources for the infrastructures of the region. This decision follows the SADC Maputo summit in August, which approved a SADC master plan for infrastructures.
"This plan is in line with the African Infrastructure Development Plan which was adopted by the African Union in January this year", said Guebuza
The Maputo conference will bring round the same table the SADC member states, representatives of the public and private sector and international development partners. He urged the SADC ambassadors to the EU to help ensure that the meeting is a success.
Assessing the current situation in the region, Guebuza said it was encouraging to note that SADC members are committed to good governance, the consolidation of democratic institutions, and dialogue for the peaceful resolution of disputes. He cited as examples the peaceful leadership transitions in Zambia, Malawi and Lesotho.
As a region, he added, SADC was working with the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and other partners to support the Democratic Republic of Congo, and help it overcome its current challenges. These include a rebellion in the east of the country, allegedly supported by Rwanda.
Guebuza stressed that SADC is consolidating the Free Trade Area that came into effect in 2008, and is preparing the next stage in regional integration, which will be the creation of a Customs Union.
Speaking at the meeting, the Namibian ambassador, and dean of the diplomatic corps accredited in Brussels, Hanno Rumpf, deplored the positions taken by the European Commissioner for Trade, Karel de Gucht, who is demanding the conclusion of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the EU and members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group, despite the existence of pending, unresolved issues.
The EPAs are designed to set up a free trade zone between the EU and ACP members. They are intended to eliminate all trade preferences between the EU and the ACP, and gradually remove of all trade barriers.
Rumpf warned that it will be very difficult in democratic countries to persuade parliaments to ratify binding agreements when there are still pending problems, which could have serious implications in the future.
He urged all ACP heads of state and government to join efforts and continue the negotiations until a definitive resolution of all pending issues. "We all want the EPAs", said Rumpf, "but we want agreements that are advantageous and fair for both sides".
Also on Monday, Guebuza was received by the Minister-President of the Belgian region of Flanders, Kris Peters, and attended an official dinner offered by the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso.

Hearing loss sufferer Jamie Flanagan, from Edinburgh, Scotland, has prepared himself for the first of five brutal marathons with the help of a unique training aid - a fully waterproof, dust-proof and sweat-proof digital hearing instrument - the Aquaris from Siemens Hearing Instruments. It's the only one of its kind in the world and is assisting Jamie as he prepares for the biggest challenge of his life - a 160 mile desert run, in a bid to raise money for charity and demonstrate that those with hearing loss can undertake great sporting achievements.
Previously a musician, Jamie lost his hearing in the year 2000 to Wengeners Granulomatosis, an auto-immune disease that also caused partial facial paralysis. Left with mild to moderate hearing loss, Jamie reluctantly left the music industry in 2009 after feeling that his hearing was hampering his progression and turned his focus on to running. Jamie completed his first marathon in 2009 and he now runs 100 miles and trains almost 20 hours a week in his bid to successfully cross the Ocean Floor in under 96 hours in Egypt next February.
To date, Jamie has never been able to run with a hearing instrument for fear of sweat damaging the electronics. Since he was fitted with Aquaris, by Audio Hearing Services his locally approved Siemens partner, Jamie's entire running experience has changed. For the first time he is able to hear traffic, other runners, and bikes. This makes his training safer and more enjoyable.
"My boring tedious, miles have become interesting with sound and my hearing instruments enrich my running," said Jamie Flanagan. "For the first time in my life I am able to run with friends and it makes the world of difference over the long distances. I have been looking for a versatile hearing instrument that could cope with the dust, sweat, and dirt that it will be subjected to while I run the marathons which started in Rome and end in the Egyptian desert. My Aquaris instruments have had to cope with wind, rain, sweat (obviously!) and a beach during a sandstorm - every time they come through unscathed!"
Featuring a special casing with a sealed battery compartment, a watertight but air-permeable microphone membrane and protective cover, Aquaris is ideal for people who require a hearing instrument for an active life. The device is ideal for running, swimming, mountain biking, or playing other sports. Its housing protects the inside workings from damp, dirt, impacts and jolts, yet retains an ergonomic shape. This design and functionality will be essential for Jamie's Ocean Floor desert run in Egypt next February.
Jamie added, "As I have studied sound engineering and music, I can authentically confirm the quality of the Siemens Aquaris hearing instrument - the sound quality is brilliant. I'm really looking forward to running the Ocean Floor race early next year. I never thought there would be a hearing solution that suited my active lifestyle and I'm delighted to take this exciting product to the edges of the earth and demonstrate that it is as tough as I am."
Jamie will be running his marathons as part of a fundraising effort for Vasculitis UK and Lauren Currie Twilight foundation charities.

MADRID (AP) — Rosalia Mera, a seamstress who co-founded a clothing store in northwestern Spain that grew into one of the world's largest retail chains, has died at the age of 69. She was Spain's richest woman and a major stakeholder in Inditex SA, the owner of the Zara chain that expanded rapidly across the globe over the past several decades.
Inditex issued a statement Friday confirming her death but did not provide more details and declined comment via email. Spanish media widely reported that Mera suffered a stroke while on vacation on the Mediterranean island of Menorca and died Thursday night at a hospital in La Coruna, the city where she was born in Spain's Galicia region.
Mera founded the first Zara store in 1975 in La Coruna with her then-husband, Armancio Ortega. He is listed by Forbes as the world's third-richest person.

Garlic mashed potatoes are as much a part of our family's Thanksgiving tradition as too much turkey and pumpkin pie. Easy to make and perfect for such a kitchen-intense holiday, garlic mashed potatoes are comfort food at its finest! Simple to prepare, you can make them up to 2 weeks in advance and then freeze > microwave/bake to reheat > fluff with a fork and serve! Or make them a day or two in advance and store 'em in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Naturally gluten free, this classic Thanksgiving side dish scores pretty well on the food allergy check list -- eggless, soy free, corn free, peanut and tree nut free, vegetarian... unfortunately, the best mashed potatoes I've had and make are pretty dairy heavy - but I know that, soon enough, there will be plenty of unbeatable options!
Fluffiest Garlic Mashed Potatoes
The secret? A dairy triple-threat of heavy cream, creme fraiche and, of course, butter. Healthiest? Maybe not. Fluffiest? Absolutely!
White Cheddar & Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Possibly my favorite combination yet -- these creamy dreamy potatoes taste like potato skins and feel like heaven.

From the Super Mario Wiki
The Longadile is an enemy in Super Paper Mario. It appears as a stronger, red version of the Longator. Its name comes from "long" and "crocodile," possibly a reference in succession to Longator, whose name sounds like "alligator." Its name is therefore inconsistent with its abilities and no longer has ties to astronomy, which is especially fitting since Longadiles are only found in Castle Bleck. It attacks by stretching its head out to insane proportions, reaching the player from a long distance away. This attacking method makes it much easier to jump on since its body becomes a larger target.
