Howard Wolowitz
Simon Helberg stars as Howard Wolowitz, the only one of the nerds that is not a doctor. He is an engineer at Caltech and is friends with Leonard and Sheldon and frequently is over at their apartment. Wolowitz mostly goes by his last name and still lives with his mother.
Most jokes with Wolowitz revolve around his failed attempts at womanizing, though he was given a girlfriend, Bernadette, in season three.
Howard Wolowitz Quotes
[Raj whispers in Wolowitz's ear]
Penny: What did he say?
Wolowitz: He compared Sheldon to a disposable feminine cleansing product one might use on a summer's eve.
Penny: Yeah, and the bag it came in
Howard: Hey, I work at the same university you do.
Sheldon: Yes, and Hawkeye's in the Avengers but no one ever says, "Help, Hawkeye!"

"Authentic chummus is very different and SO much tastier than its American counterpart. This chummus is creamy and delicate in taste rather than overpowered with garlic or thick and pasty. It is eaten warm, fresh, and as a whole meal spread out in a dish and drizzled with fresh olive oil. It is scooped up with pita, raw onion slices, or just a fork. Do NOT use canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)!"

Sleeping on the plane? Britney Spears rolls into Los Angeles airport with heavy eyes and messy bed hair
She's not known for pulling it together when she's off the red carpet.
But when Britney Spears jet out of Los Angeles on Thursday she appeared to put a little more effort into her wardrobe than usual - which made it all the more puzzling that she seemed to have forgotten her comb.
The 31-year-old former X Factor judge ducked through LAX on her way to New Orleans, her hair tangled and make-up splotchy as though she had just rolled out of bed.
Not her best look: Britney Spears arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday sporting smudged make-up and unkempt hair
Britney had stepped out earlier in
the day on a visit to the dentist, scrubbing up just enough to go out in
public in sweatpants, an oversized sweater and Ugg boots.
A few hours later she was in a pair of dark denim skinny jeans and a pair of black stiletto boots, worn with a short sleeved button down shirt in a pretty pale blue and a bracelet with her son's name, Sean, emblazoned on one side.
Britney slung a pink handbag over her
shoulder and was guided, along with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, and her father, Jamie
Spears, through security.
The patriarch is still in control of her affairs via a conservatorship, which he obtained five years ago following her public meltdown.
Half-done: Britney put a little effort into her wardrobe and went through the trouble of wearing heels, but seemed to have forgotten about the rest of her appearance
Sleepy? The singer's eyes looked heavy as she made her way to security
But meanwhile as the wind blew back
Britney's hair, its layers appeared matted and unkempt - perhaps the
reason why she chose to tie it back moments later.
In line at a fast food joint before
her flight her hair flopped on top of her head and make-up appeared
slept-in. But the star didn't seem to mind her appearance, waiting in
line with everyone else for a quick snack before she flew down south.
It marked a busy day for Britney, who was seen earlier in the day was seen stepping out in Thousand Oaks, California wearing an ensemble most starlets would only slop around the house in.
Heading home? The star was en route to New Orleans, not far from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana
Pulling it back: Britney arrived with her hair in a messy ponytail
Splotchy make-up: Only one of her eyes seemed to be dusted with shadow
The mother-of-two – who shares Jayden, six, and Sean, seven, with ex-husband Kevin Federline – went solo for the run.
Noticeably absent was her latest love interest, David Lucado.
The Scream & Shout singer - who
split from her fiance Jason Trawick in January - has been spotted on
several romantic outings with David, who works at a prestigious law firm
in Southern California, recently.
Trying to go unnoticed? The star kept her head down as she shuffled through the crowds, and sometimes looked up to flash a smile
That looks tasty! Britney waited in line at a fast food restaurant before her flight
I'll have that please: The star contemplated her choices
Little is known about the pair's budding relationship, and its unlikely David will be speaking to the press about Britney anytime soon.
Recent reports suggest he was forced
to undergo a background check and sign a non-disclosure contract before
she would agree to go out with him, despite being set up by her father.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline:
'Jamie has known David for awhile, and always thought he was a
thoughtful, and an all-around good guy.
Touching tribute: Britney wore a bracelet with her son, Sean's, name on it
In step: The star continued to a more private area where she could eat in peace - and kept a fork at the ready
'Britney needed someone to keep
her company after she and Jason [Trawick] broke up.
'It had to be a male, because Britney
just doesn't respond as well to females. And remember, she is still
under a conservatorship.
'Before David started spending time with Brit, he had to undergo a background check, and sign a confidentiality agreement, all arranged by Papa Spears. Jamie makes sure if things go south between Jamie and Britney, details about her life wouldn't be made public.
Dear old dad: Britney's father, Jamie Spears, held hands with her son, Sean Preston
The whole clan: Jayden James was carried by a member of Britney's security team
Staying entertained: Jayden held a toy gun in hand as he was carted through the airport

I just wanted to share this beautiful man with you :) If only I could have two husbands… ;)
Melted Woman – A Recipe for Naked Cooks
Some Old Articles
You may have heard there used to be an official NMHW website. I have deleted it some time ago but did save the few articles that I had written for it. In case you are interested in reading them, you can read them here: NMHW Website R.I.P.
All Good Things…
Dear readers and viewers,
Some time has passed by since I've written my last post. What has happened? Well, my daughter is 14 months old now and quite a handful of cuteness ;)
And just a bit over one month ago my naked man and I got married. I did not really have the time to concern myself with other naked males, but I did think about this topic and where to go from where I'd left off.
NMHW was born in March 2008. At the time I was determined to get the naked male body as a subject of female desire as much into the spotlight as I possibly could. I did my research, I shared my thoughts, reviewed some books, movies and magazines and I posted as many beautiful male bodies I could get my hands on. Inspired by my experiences with the male customers of the erotic boutique I worked for, I also wrote about male sexuality related themes. The feedback on NMHW so far has been amazing, but I am not sure if it is enough to continue…
When I started this project, I had already thought op some theories why the nude male is such a big deal: see my article The Search for Cock. But over time I realized there may be a bigger reason why male nude photography for women is not working: women are not men.
What is the main purpose of erotic nude photography (when it is not made to be art)? Exactly. It is masturbation material. Men can look at a picture of a naked woman – or just the essential body parts of a woman: breasts, ass, vulva – and get turned on in such a way that it is enough to make a masturbation session have a satisfactory ending. For me no photo of a naked man, no matter how erotic or good looking he is, has such an effect on me. To be honest, I do not know any woman who masturbates while looking at photos of male nudes. If there are women who do this, let me know! I do enjoy looking at nice photographs of naked men and if I particularly like one, of course I wonder what it would be like to touch that beautiful body. But that's where the fantasy ends. Something vital, something that men do not really need, is missing: movement.
In order to imagine if a man is a good lover, I need to know how he moves. If I see an attractive man having sex with someone, I can imagine if he is good or bad at it. If I have the impression he is breathtakingly good, then the naked man starts to turn me on.
I think men do not need to see a naked woman move because they probably fantasize more about what they do to her than what she might do to them. A woman doesn't necessarily have to do much for the man to have satisfying sex. Even if she would just lay in bed and let herself be taken, it would most likely be quite boring, but it would do. Vice versa though, it surely would not. When sex is perceived in its essence, the woman plays the passive part in the bedroom, the man the active. Receiving and giving. Stagnation and movement.
I assume this is the reason why women do not go crazy over male nude magazines, books or any other medium that shows male nude photography. Therefore the magazines, no matter how good they are, do not survive, illustrated books do not sell enough and no publisher is interested in publishing male nude photography for a female target group – unless you pay for them to print it and honestly, that says enough.
And there is the reason that all good things, even Naked Men, Happy Women, must come to an end. Funny enough, when I started writing this post, an exhibition about naked men opened in the Leopold Museum in Vienna. You can see some of the art work underneath this article. Not the best photos, but I was not allowed to use the flash :). Although people who have seen the exhibition poster (the one with the three naked football players) hanging all over town were mostly 'shocked' or 'disgusted' by seeing completely naked men – people have been covering up the penises on the posters! – there were lots of people attending the exhibition while my husband and I were there…
Anyway, it seems people finally do start to realize the naked man needs more attention – and is worth more attention! The male body is beautiful, erotic and sensual and should not be hidden. I hope my blog has made a worthy contribution to this break through and I thank all of you for your support, your compliments and your suggestions! A special thanks is for all the men who have taken the courage to mail me photographs of themselves that I was allowed to share here on Naked Men, Happy Women. Thumbs up, guys!
Longer Break from NMHW
Hello readers and viewers,
I have decided – regretfully – to take a longer break from Naked Men, Happy Women as planned. As you may know, I have a wonderful little baby girl to take care of now. But due to the fact that I am a full-time mother now, I don't have time to write new blog posts and surf the internet for new hotties.
The official NMHW website has been cancelled. The blog however will remain. In case I do have more time to concern myself with wonderful men again, I will continue writing about them here.
I want to thank all of you for your support, compliments and contributions and I hope you will continue the NMHW mission!
Little Break from NMHW
Dear readers and viewers,
I just wanted to leave a short message that I am taking a little break from blogging until my baby has arrived. The end of the pregnancy is near and I feel the need to just be occupied with that and nothing else. Well, maybe my naked man at home ;)
Anyway, don't be disappointed, more naked men and articles will come in the future. You can continue sending submissions for the NMHW book contest, Lady Lu and I do check the mailbox and will pick a hottie when we spot one :)
Male Body of the Week (week 32)
NMHW Competition Continues!
The second photo contribution for the NMHW competition can be submitted until next week Saturday, the 13th of August!
Male Body of the Week (week 31)
The following photo is the first winning contribution for the NMHW competition!
The photographer, who is also the model, let himself be inspired by the theme "curves". It is often said that the female body is more sexy and sensual than the male body because she has curves. We all know this to be an invalid argument, for men have very beautiful, erotic and yummy curves too. The contribution by CFNMGUY is therefore another wonderful addition to proof this point.
"I believe the Panton chair fits to the theme "curves". It gives the image a "classic" look. The image has something relaxed about it and apart from me being completely naked, it also shows a bit of a submissive side…" – CFNMGUY
We have to admit, the photo does seem to be an invitation for some spanking ;)
Congratulations, CFNMGUY! Send us more and enjoy the book!

Everything was great! Produce was fresh & reasonable priced!
This was the first time I used Garden Grocer. The website was easy to use and the food options were pretty good. I was actually surprised they had some of the items I was looking for... Gluten free. They called and emailed to let me know they received the order. I also received a text when the food was delivered to our disney resort. I was very happy with the service and would recommend it to others!
We placed a large grocery order and every single item was delivered to our hotel exactly as we requested! Everything was well packaged with cold items packed separately. I will definitely use your service again and recommend it to friends who visit the area.

Two takes on patent reforms
Share via Email
Re: Billions at stake on drug patent reforms, Aug. 12
There it was in brilliant black and white — Michael Geist's "right on" analysis of Canada's failed pharmaceuticals appeasement of the 1980s. I remember the debate as if it was yesterday — the glorious promises of R&D billions made by the drug companies in exchange for extended patents (read: driving generic competition out of the Canadian marketplace).
Canadians have, as a result, paid handsomely and have collectively been screwed by the drug industry. Feel like a cigarette?
John Parker, Blenheim
Over the past 24 years, our members have honoured our commitment and invested an average 9.75 per cent of annual sales in life science research. This is one of the best industry R&D records in Canada, despite a very challenging global economy and increasingly restrictive public policies here in Canada.
This investment has declined in recent years — mainly due to the fact that Canada has not remained competitive globally. We must compete for every dollar and strong protection for intellectual property is a proven strategy to win investments on the world stage.
The 27 member states of the European Union have health care systems similar to the Canadian model. However, they also have higher intellectual property standards and better access to new medicines than Canada. The EU example shows us that encouraging innovation is completely consistent with protecting public healthcare.
CETA is a tremendous opportunity to regain our competitiveness on the world stage and build a healthier, more prosperous future for all Canadians.
Russell Williams, President, Canada's Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (Rx&D)

Mobile Technology Development Program Expands at Daraja
They came bearing gifts
3 years ago, Chris Garcia took his first steps on Kenyan soil with a group of teachers and students from University of San Diego with a huge surprise for Daraja's teachers and Form 1 class—iPods for every teacher and iPads for every freshman girl.
Next week, Chris is returning to Kenya for the next round of development with the now 3-year-old Kenya Mobile Technology project. "The type of professional development was limited to show teachers and students how to use the iPads and iPod touches in the most basic form without wifi," said Chris in his appeal to friends, family and professional connections to help financially support his return to Daraja.
Until only recently, campus electricity only ran from 7p-10p from a cranky, 20 year old diesel generator. This meant no charging laptops, phones, cameras, and the USD donated iPods and iPads meant to encourage and critically engage Daraja students in their classroom learning. "Now, the campus has wifi," said Chris, "and the iPads and iPods need to have their operating systems updated, along with installing apps to enhance the education for Daraja Academy students."
There's an app for that: Introducing new applications to enhance classroom learning
Chris, a teacher at Chula Vista Elementary School District in Southern California, coordinated with fellow teachers and participants of the 2012 Mobile Technology Project by distributing an assessment soliciting advice. The assessment addressed how teachers based in the U.S. use technology to enhance classroom instruction, improve grading procedures, lesson planning, and acquiring materials to build a better digital platform for presenting high-quality photographs and images.
Chris used GoFundMe to raise enough funds to cover the return trip to Kenya. Engaging nearly 60 people, he raised an impressive $3,000 for the Project. "This was my first experience using GoFundMe, and it was a very simple set up through their website, and very easy to promote through social media and emailing the link to my contact list."
Have you always wanted to visit Daraja? Do you have a project you'd like to see implemented on campus? Email Ashley at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn about our Guest Program, Internships, and easy tips and tricks for raising money to visit the school transforming leaders of today into world changers of tomorrow.

"We translated the whole game into Arabic, and we had to rewrite major parts of it. There were several things that had to do with Asian mythology, with gods fighting each other; so we changed that and turned it into nations fighting each other. Also, in a lot of these games, you have female characters wearing immodest clothing, which could cause problems in countries like Saudi Arabia, which is a major market. So the clothing is more modest."
Mujahid draws a comparison between MMORPGs and more basic games like shooting games, and says that, while a gamer might play a shooting game for an hour or two, a MMORPG session could last two years, as gamers build the characters and complete missions.
"Also, in a shooting game, you don't have to understand much of the story, you just shoot," says Mujahid. "In an online game, you have to understand the story very well and follow missions in order to advance. If the contents of the game are alien to your culture, you might not enjoy living in that culture as much as if it were close to what you know.
"Another thing we noticed inside online games is the chats, where players socialize with each other. Some don't even play the game; they're just in the chat rooms. When we started our business, we found that players were chatting in Arabic, but using English letters. But with Arabic Rappelz now, gamers can chat in Arabic."

Dems Get Religion on Health Care Antitrust Exemption
MY health insurer here in California is Anthem Blue Cross. So far, my group policy hasn't been affected by Anthem's planned rate increase of as much as 39 percent for its customers with individual policies — but the trend worries me, as it should everyone. Rates are soaring all over the country. Insurers have been seeking to raise premiums 24 percent in Connecticut, 23 percent in Maine, 20 percent in Oregon and a wallet-popping 56 percent in Michigan. How can insurers raise prices as much as they want without fear of losing customers?
Astonishingly, the health insurance industry is exempt from federal antitrust laws, which is why a handful of insurers have become so dominant in their markets that their customers simply have nowhere else to go. But that protection could soon end: President Obama on Tuesday announced his support of a House bill that would repeal health insurers' antitrust exemption, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled that she would put it toward an immediate vote.
via Op-Ed Contributor – Bust the Health Care Trusts – NYTimes.com.
This is how politics is supposed to work. Well, not really — in reality, you'd like to see your leaders actually lead, i.e. do the right thing first, before being forced into it by circumstance. But we'll take the latter.
The sequence: Obama and the Dems got whipped in Massachusetts and it suddenly occurred to them that they might want to start doing things that would be popular outside their Rolodex of campaign contributors. A bailout tax was one early idea. They started searching the landscape for outrages they could get on the other side of and found a good one: Anthem Blue Cross in California raising rates by 39 percent.
Suddenly the Obama administration decided to come out against the antitrust exemption for the insurance industry. Like they only just noticed the problem.
The insurance antitrust exemption has been an outrage for over fifty years. The original bill formalizing the industry's exemption from the Sherman Antitrust Act, the McCarran-Ferguson Act, was dreamed up by two Hollywood villains. Nevada Senator Pat McCarran was the inspiration for the "Senator Pat Geary" character in Godfather Part II ("Senator… my final offer is this: nothing" — that guy), while Homer Ferguson was the inspiration for the Lloyd Bridges character in Tucker who whored himself out for the auto makers to get Tucker's new car struck from the market. These two gigantic assholes teamed up to help the insurance industry avoid the albatross of competitive pricing.
McCarran-Ferguson was supposed to be temporary. Franklin Roosevelt clearly thought so when he signed it into law in 1944, saying that after "a moratorium period," the antitrust laws "will be applicable in full force and effect to the business of insurance." The law was supposed to expire in 1947. It didn't.
As a result, all the evil shit that made for such high drama in Kurt Eichenwald's book The Informant – about a bunch of agricultural firms who get together to fix prices for an additive called Lysine — that's actually legal in the insurance business.
This is why insurers (especially insurers with large market shares in small states) are easily able to gouge customers and deny coverage. There's really no legal mechanism for preventing the firms from getting together and arranging price-fixing and other outrages. In a normal market customers would be able to get better coverage and cheaper rates from a competitor, but insurance is really more like a series of competition-free fiefdoms where the customers can't go elsewhere for a better deal. State Farm even denied coverage to Trent freaking Lott after Katrina and got away with it because State Farm has Misssissippi by the nads. It's crazy.
This is, again, another reason Obamacare was such a joke from the start. The White House vision clearly called for "health care reform" without a repeal of McCarran-Ferguson. Which is technically almost impossible, but they tried it.
That didn't work, naturally, so now they're finally getting around to doing the obvious. They'll fail — every attempt to repeal McCarran-Ferguson inevitably does, mysteriously — but at least they're talking about it. But Jesus, why does this stuff take so long?
