When deciding what type of house to buy, potential buyers are faced with a dilemma. Should I buy a house? Maybe a condominium would be better for my family and I. On the other hand, the area has some ideal townhouses as well. This can be a stressful part of deciding where to move and what type of home market to look into, and the moving process is stressful enough as it is. When deciding between each potential home market, there are variables that pertain to each that need to be considered. Think each through carefully before choosing the area in which you wish to settle down. The type of home you purchase will also impact your down payment plans. Doing your research while saving up your first home mortgage down payment is a great plan!
The house market is one of the most common markets for potential homeowners that either have children or are wanting to have children. A house is often a better choice for the obvious size reason, but neighborhood is a second reason to choose a home. Neighborhoods or subdivisions that include houses are often more family-friendly and will have activities and job opportunities more geared toward that group of individuals. Schools are more often located near areas where houses are located, and prices will be set accordingly. On the other hand, a house can often be a lot more work than a townhouse or condominium. Home repairs can be costly, and upkeep and maintenance can be a greater hassle than with any other type of home. In addition, selling a house can often take longer and require a higher closing cost and real estate fee than a townhouse or condominium. The home itself will have a lot to do with this, and the location thereof.
When purchasing a condominium, consider the size of your family. Those with small children will want a place for them to play, and there are few, if any, condominiums that offer fenced in yards. Many buildings that lease, rent, or sell condominiums are generally geared toward the older generations or vacationers, so local activities can be out of the range of many children and young adults. The job market can also be drastically different in these locales. On the other hand, for young couples who do not see children in their near future, a condominium can be a wise decision. The monthly mortgage payment and overall purchase price is generally significantly less for a condo than for a home, and, in the long run, both young couples without children and older middle-aged adults will probably benefit more from this type of community. As with any other purchase, weigh all of the pros and cons before making an offer instead of during or after to avoid being hit with a last minute problem or a potentially overlooked circumstance. The first few months in any new place are often the hardest, and avoiding complications whenever possible is a bonus.
A townhouse is sometimes the best way to go. Many townhouses are almost the size of small homes, and can offer a nice place to live that is much easier to keep up than a full-sized home. This is especially true in the case of widows and widowers, elderly couples, couples with grown children, and more. Townhouses are often more private than condominiums, and cater to more of the older generation than do condominiums or houses because of the easier upkeep and cheaper insurance options. When choosing a townhouse, keep in mind the special needs of those moving in. Stairs, swimming pools, long or tight hallways, lack of wheelchair access, and other things can be a concern for those who are elderly or disabled. These types of questions have to be answered before placing a bid or offer for a townhouse, to avoid trouble later. If you are a young couple purchasing a townhouse for a primary home, make sure the area is suitable in comparison to the asking price, daily commute, job opportunities, and other considerations.
Overall, there are pros and cons of all three options. Owning your own home is the American dream (which you deserve) and be sure to consider your options while saving up your home loan down payment. Saving up your down payment will often take a few years and this provides a perfect time to thoroughly research your options. Once you have your down payment saved up, you will be ready to go and know exactly what you're looking for. Additionally, why not learn all about mortgage loans for 1st time home buyers and real estate agents for 1st time home buyers while saving for your house?

Many people today are looking for ways to lose weight. In the battle to drop those pounds, perhaps the holy grail of bodily improvements is to speed up your metabolism. A faster metabolism will help you burn more calories, and it will give you the energy that you need to keep going during those difficult days. It can be very hard to speed up your metabolism on your own. Working out and building more lean muscle mass has been shown to speed your metabolic rate, but for most people, getting this extra advantage will require some assistance. This is where Healthe Trim comes into play, providing people with the supplements that they need to achieve elite results.
An all-natural impact
Some companies offer promises to boost a person's metabolism, but their products are filled with unnatural junk that will lead to negative side effects down the road. The upside to Healthy Trim is that you can take advantage of the metabolic boost without having to fill your body with who knows what substance. The all natural products are designed to be compatible with good overall health, so you won't be sacrificing anything as you attempt to get your weight back on track.
Burning more fat
When you take pills from Healthy Trim, you will start on the difficult process of burning more fat. Whether you are sitting at home or engaging in a difficult exercise program, these supplements will help your metabolism do away with more of that fat that you've been trying to get off. The science behind this is relatively simple. Your body needs energy in order to power all of its processes, from breathing to lifting your arm. Your metabolism will start with the food that you have given it. A faster metabolism burns through that food more quickly. It can then begin to burn through the fat stores that you may have acquired over the years. Slowly but surely, a faster metabolism will start creating energy with the fat that packs your waistline, leaving you with a more slender appearance.
The energy to boost your spirits during the weight loss process
Another way that Healthy Trim helps is by boosting your energy rates. Any person who has tried to lose weight in the past knows that the constant exercise and dieting can leave a person feeling completely wiped out. It is very hard to keep going, day after day, and you will most likely begin to burn fewer calories when you start to lose energy. The products from Healthy Trim keep your energy levels up so that you can go through with your daily life. You can also keep on that exercise routine that has been boosting your metabolic rate even more. Perhaps most importantly, this increase in your energy levels will make life much more enjoyable overall.
If you want to lose weight, then you should think about ways to boost your metabolism. This can be very hard to do on your own, and it can be frustrating when you seem to do everything right while still missing out on the results. The good news is that the products at Healthy Trim are designed to fill that hole in your weight loss plans. They help normal people burn calories like a professional athlete might, and they do it with all-natural ingredients, too.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant Hon Hai Precision Industry, known widely as Foxconn, has disclosed its intention to build a factory in Indonesia that is expected to create up to 1 million new jobs here.
Indonesia's Industry Minister M.S. Hidayat told journalists of the plan after witnessing the signing of a partnership agreement between the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) and the Taiwan-based Chinese National Federation of Industries in Jakarta on Wednesday.
"They [Foxconn] will enter Indonesia, bringing along technology, and will need some 1 million workers. The investment is estimated to be worth more than $1 billion," Hidayat said.
Hidayat said Foxconn, a manufacturer of electronics hardware components, had requested to build the factory on Java, preferably in Central or East Java.
"But I would prefer that they build the factory outside Java island," the minister said. "If they do so, I will give them incentives of tax holiday, tax allowance and other facilities."
Apindo chairman Sofjan Wanandi said that in preparation for its entrance to Indonesia, Foxconn was in the process of conducting a feasibility study, an effort that might take a year to complete.
"They will enter in a very large size, so they need a place that can actually meet their needs," Sofjan said.
He added that he hoped the government would respond to those needs by providing a large enough space in an industrial zone with good infrastructure and easy access to a seaport and/or airport.
"Apindo's role will be to facilitate their need to find a good Indonesian company as a partner and to settle the infrastructure and space issues," Sofjan said.
Separately, Indonesian Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan said Foxconn was interested in Indonesia because of its huge market potential, and that the company had yet to decide whether the planned Indonesian factory would supply the Indonesian market only or would export products as well.
Foxconn reportedly produces electronics components for Apple, Acer, Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Microsoft, among others.
In China, its operations came under scrutiny after a rash of worker suicides in 2010 and subsequent revelations of poor working conditions at the company's manufacturing hub in Shenzhen.

|Section 1
|Table of Contents
|Section 3
The level of precision that is considered adequate for a survey should reflect the kinds of analyses to be made and the effect that errors in the statistics are likely to have on practical uses of the information. When differences of 10 or 20 percent will have trivial effects on policy decisions, fairly large sampling errors are tolerable. In other instances, even small errors could have an important adverse effect on uses of the data. The situation is further complicated by the fact that although precision may be satisfactory for most statistics relating to the total population of the subgroup, it may be inadequate for subdomains such as age-sex subgroups, low-income persons, persons in each region of the U.S., etc. It is frequently found that no matter how large the sample for a particular survey, there will be some desirable analyses for which the sample is insufficient. Some examples are separate studies of babies, teenagers, or the elderly; examination of data for persons with income below the poverty level; the rural population; etc.
Consequently, there is no simple or single standard of reliability that is applicable to all studies that may be carried out. Although most large surveys have multiple objectives, in each case, the principal uses of the data should be considered along with the consequences of errors in the data. An important part of the consideration should be whether there is a need for special treatment of certain subdomains. In Section 2.2 we give examples of how some of the major U.S. surveys approach the problem. The budget that is likely to be available should, of course, also be taken into consideration. Another factor that may play a role is the existence of significant nonsampling errors in the data collection system, since there is no reason to incur the cost of a very large sample size if the main quality problem is poor reporting by the respondents rather than sampling error. There is no point in establishing unrealistic standards that cannot be achieved. Section 2.2 contains a few examples of how these and other considerations have been instrumental in establishing standards for some of the major U.S. multipurpose sample surveys, which in turn have determined the sample sizes.
[ Go to Contents ]
Common standards for precision do not exist for U.S. Government surveys. Each survey is viewed as a unique data system designed to meet specific needs. In most cases, the sample size is determined by agreement on the key analytic requirements of the survey weighed against available funding or a realistic budget, rather than to satisfy abstract notions of analytic goals. In a few cases, Government agencies have articulated the principal analytic and policy uses expected of the data and the sampling errors that would permit these analyses. Some examples follow:
A sample size of 560 was determined to satisfy these requirements in most classes. Many of the Mexican-American age-sex classes had higher design effects than other classes and needed somewhat larger samples.
To achieve specified levels of precision (described below) for four crucial statistics:
The generic prevalence rates are a useful model for an examination of the feasibility of producing minority subgroup statistics, and we will focus on these specifications later in this report. However, as stated earlier, no single set of specifications is likely to meet all conceivable analytic needs.
[ Go to Contents ]
The simple formula for the variance of a sample mean given in most elementary statistics textbooks is . For a proportion or a prevalence rate, this formula is equivalent to .
In these formulas, f is the sampling rate, n is the sample size, is the population variance of the characteristic being estimated, and p is the proportion that is estimated. These formulas apply to the simplest type of situation, that is, use of simple random sampling with all members of the population sampled at the same rate.
In practice, it is rare for population surveys to use simple random sampling. Where interviewing is done on a face-to-face basis (as distinct from telephone or mail data collection) some form of clustering is almost always used to reduce the cost of interview travel. The clustering frequently results from several stages of sample selection, e.g., counties, groups of neighboring households, and members of sample households. Even when telephone or mail is used (e.g., planned as the dominant data collection methods for the census long forms and the ACS); persons within the sample households constitute clusters. The extent to which characteristics of persons within these levels of clustering tend to be correlated influences the size of the sampling variances. In most cases, clustering increases the sampling variances above what would result from a simple random sampling with the same sample size. Variances will also be increased if the sampling rates vary among members of the population. This can come about if some groups are oversampled or undersampled. It can also result from a fairly common practice of selecting a household sample, then choosing one member at random for a more detailed interview. Persons in large households then have smaller probabilities of selection than persons in smaller households. In attempts to compensate for such features of the sample design, statisticians apply devices that tend to reduce variances, principally stratification and sophisticated weighting methods. However, the features that tend to increase variances usually dominate.
The design effect is a measure of the extent to which the interactions of all such features affect the sampling variances. It is defined as the factor by which the variance of an estimate is changed through departure from simple random sampling. It is generally expressed symbolically by d, so that the variance of a mean becomes . As indicated above, d is mostly, though not necessarily, greater than 1. The value of n/d is frequently referred to as the effective sample size, since replacing n by n/d in the expression for permits one to use the formulas for simple random sampling.
Design effects differ greatly from one survey to another, since there are important differences among sample designs. They can also vary among different items measured within a survey, and sometimes among specific population groups. A few examples of such variations are described below:
In spite of the diversity in sampling rates, the NHANES sample sizes provide data with fairly good precision for Mexican-Americans in each of the 14 age-sex domains designated by NCHS for separate analysis. On the other hand, the sample size for even the total API population and for American Indian or Alaska Native is quite low, and it was trivial for individual age-sex groups of these subpopulations.
As the illustrations above indicate, most surveys are subject to a wide array of design effects. If there are a few key statistics in a survey whose importance dominates the analyses and uses of the data (as in the case of unemployment for CPS), then it is useful to concentrate on these statistics in assessing the reliability of the survey estimates. Otherwise, it is sensible to use an average design effect, about midway between the upper and lower levels that are likely to occur. We will follow this latter practice in assessing the ability of the various data sets to meet the needs for data for the different subpopulations of Hispanic and API populations and for American Indian or Alaska Natives.
[ Go to Contents ]
Some of the detailed subgroups are not identified on all of the data tapes. Section 1.3 identifies those subgroups that are not fully described on the data records, and indicates whether the omitted subpopulations were not identified in the interview or, if obtained, were not entered into the data tape. In addition, there currently are slight variations among surveys in the way the race/ethnicity questions are worded but, except for the birth registration system, the surveys appear to be reasonably consistent in their classifications. NHANES III probed more intensively than most other surveys to identify persons whose ancestors migrated from Mexico, even though, at this time, they do not consider themselves Mexican-Americans. However, the intensive probing was dropped for current NHANES. It also is important to note that birth certificates ask for race/ethnicity of mother and father, but not of child. Since information for the father is less likely to be available, published data on births are tabulated by the race/ethnicity of the mother, which can introduce some error into the calculation of rates where the numerators are from the NVS-Natality files, but denominators are drawn from other data systems. This inconsistency, however, is not present for infant mortality rates where the linked birth/infant death data set is used and data are tabulated by the mothers race.
The differences among surveys are expected to largely disappear when the revised OMB standards for collecting race/ethnic data, which permit respondents with mixed ancestry to choose more than one race, are implemented. Most surveys will be converting to the new standards over the course of the next 4 or 5 years. The new classifications will bring greater consistency among surveys. NHIS has been collecting data on multiple race identification since 1982, and NHANES currently follows the NHIS approach. To reduce possible problems of historical comparability, NCHS, BLS, and the U.S. Census Bureau have carried out research on strategies to bridge the changes created by the shift to the new classification of race/ethnicity. The proposed OMB revisions in the standards for the federal collection of race/ethnicity are shown in Appendix C, Task 2 Report.
[ Go to Contents ]
Section 4 of this report discusses the possibility of improving the precision for some of the subpopulations by combining data for several years. An immediate question is how many years can be combined without seriously affecting the usefulness of the data.
As with so many of the other issues that have been raised, there is no single time period that would be uniformly acceptable for all surveys, or for that matter, for all items within some of the surveys. We suggest that the decision on the number of years to be combined be based on how slowly or quickly the characteristic(s) that are measured in a survey change over time. For example, it is unlikely that there will be dramatic changes over the course of a few years in most of the health or nutrition items covered in NHANES, e.g., prevalence of hypertension, high cholesterol levels, obesity, etc. This, of course, is the reason that NCHS has been comfortable in having previous NHANES data collection extend over a 6-year period. Even though each year of the current NHANES will be based on a random sample, there is no reason why 6 or more years cannot be combined for analyses of data for small population subgroups. Fertility patterns also are likely to change only slowly over time. However, since the NSFG is currently carried out intermittently (about every 5-years), some thought would have to be given to whether combining two cycles of NSFG would excessively stretch the ability to describe the current situation. On the other hand, the limited information on fertility collected annually in CPS could probably be combined over a 3 or 4-year period without any harm, as could the data on educational attainment. Economic statistics, however, can undergo strong fluctuations over a few years, or even less, since they are subject to swings in the economy. It is probably unwise to combine more than 2 or 3-years of data on such items as median income or the poverty rate.
[ Go to Contents ]
A few items are included in more than one survey: health insurance is covered in NHIS, SIPP, and MEPS; other items are considered basic covariates for multivariate analysis in many surveys, but are important statistics in their own right. Age, sex, and marital status are almost defining characteristics, and they are collected in virtually all questionnaires. Other frequently obtained items are income (personal and/or family income), educational attainment, and labor force status. In Section 5 of this report we discuss the possibility of enhancing the subpopulations sample sizes by combining data from several surveys.
One would like the question wordings to be reasonably consistent among the surveys that will be combined. This is probably not an issue for such demographic items as age, sex, and marital status, or for educational attainment. However, reporting of income, poverty and, to some extent, labor force status and occupation can be quite sensitive to both the question wording and the amount and type of probing carried out by interviewers. A major consideration for income, and possibly labor force, is how much discrepancy in question wording can be tolerated in order to provide a sufficient sample size for reasonable reliability. It may be possible to calibrate the results of various surveys so that adjusted data are in closer conformity.
One additional issue relating to comparability among surveys involves the population covered by the survey, that is: whether the samples represent all 50 states and D.C.; whether each survey includes the entire civilian non-institutional population, excludes some components, or includes some others, such as the military or institutional population. We do not expect this to be an important concern for most purposes, but analysts who are trying to establish historical series may find that even small inconsistencies can raise fundamental questions about the validity of the data.
[ Go to Contents ]
The surveys listed in the Task 2 report, and which will be analyzed further in the balance of this report, are conducted by federal agencies, or carried our under contract for the agencies. Knowledgeable statistical staffs monitor the survey operations and the quality of the work is generally quite high. There is particular stress on attaining high response rates, and we believe that all of the surveys do about as well as can be expected, given that, with the exception of the vital statistics system, the ACS, and the U.S. Census, the survey responses are voluntary rather than mandatory.
To say that the response rates are acceptable does not mean there are no potential nonresponse problems. All of the major surveys use poststratification in the final stage of weighting to reduce sampling errors, and to compensate as much as possible for nonresponse and undercoverage. There are almost always separate poststratification cells for blacks, Hispanics, and all other race/ethnic groups and NHANES has such cells for Mexican-Americans. The minority subgroups are almost always combined into categories like "total Hispanics" or "total other races" (which includes American Indians and Alaska Natives). Subdomains such as Puerto-Ricans, Cuban-Americans, Central-Americans, etc., are thus combined into a single class, with identical weights. Similarly, all Asians and Pacific Islanders get identical weights. If, in fact, some of these subgroups have lower response rates than the overall rate for the race/ethnic class, and are not separately adjusted, they will be underrepresented in the statistics. A similar situation exists with undercoverage. For example, if illegal aliens tend to avoid reporting (as seems likely) and if a higher proportion of Mexican-Americans are here illegally than in other Hispanic subpopulations (as is also likely), then the uniform weighting will slightly understate Mexican-Americans and overstate other Hispanic subgroups.
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done to adjust for such occurrences. Agencies already make strenuous efforts to attain high response rates and it is unlikely that further exhortation to improve will be effective. Users of the data, however, should be aware of such limitations in drawing conclusions from the statistics.

All of the major statistical agencies estimate sampling errors for their surveys. Since many of the surveys use complex, multi-stage sample designs, estimation of sampling errors is also fairly complex. Even further complications would result from the procedures for enhancing the sample as discussed above; averaging over a number of years, or combining the data from several surveys. Fortunately, software exists for the production of estimates of sampling errors for complex designs that could be adapted to cover averaging over years or combinations of surveys. We therefore see no reason to treat the ability to compute estimates of sampling errors as an impediment to the use of these procedures.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a mother's life. The excitement, plans and process of development and growth is something that one never forgets! Along with the excitement can also come many unwanted guests, nausea, fatigue, swelling and stretching to name a few! When I realized how essential oils could help during pregnancy I almost wished I could go back and do it over again! All those little annoyances along the way would have been taken care of shortly! From infertility to newborn care, there are many options in supporting a healthy pregnancy. I want to share a few stories of pregnant mothers who I have been privileged to help during pregnancy and the first few months of life.
On a cold winter night, I received a message asking for help. A friend had been down with the stomach flu the whole day. She was weak, unable to keep anything down and had a four month old who was getting very hungry. Her supply was all but gone in a matter of hours and her little one was not having anything to do with a bottle. We visited by phone and I gathered up what she needed and dropped it by. I gave her a few simple directions and she started using Basil essential oil every hour that evening. Much to her little guy's relief, her body was able to recover and within four to five hours of the initial application of oil, was back to making his regularly scheduled meals! She was surprised and amazed at how quickly it worked. Basil and Fennel oils are great at boosting milk supply, if a mother struggles to have enough or experiences times of stress or hits a growth spurt with a little one, these are helpful to have on hand.
There are times a new mother may have trouble getting the lactating cycle up and running. This was the case for another friend, she'd had a c-section and was waiting, and waiting for her supply to start up. We visited two days after her child's birth, she was desperately wanting to breastfeed and was struggling with the emotional roller coaster as her hormones were shifting. She began using Clary Sage and Basil to kick start the lactating process and Balance oil to help manage the stress of hormonal changes. Within hours, things were working, baby was getting her first real feedings and her mom was much calmer, relaxed and excited to have this relationship with her little one. The balance of hormones in the body postpartum is a very important factor and can have effects on everyone involved. Clary Sage is a wonderful oil for regulating hormones and bringing them back into harmony.
Pregnancy increases the vascular load on the body to amazing levels. Nearing delivery, the increase of blood volume in the body is nearly 50% more. One word can describe the feeling. Swollen! This is exactly how one of my friends felt at the end of her pregnancy. She was due any day and experiencing edema in her lower legs. Swollen ankles, swollen toes and little relief! We applied Cypress oil to her lower legs which assists with circulation and a little Clary Sage around her ankles to start the labor process. Within an hour her swelling was going down, another day and she was a new mom to a beautiful little girl!
From back pain, cramping, headaches, cold and flu relief, whatever a pregnancy throws your way, oils can help. These are just a few of the many stories of mothers finding relief using the natural gifts God has provided us.
There are just too many suggestions for pregnancy to list them all! Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Birth & Babies by Stephanie Fritz is one of the best guides for using oils for pregnancy. Here is a 'CHEAT SHEET' for suggestions taken from her book that can guide you to more specific help. These oils have been carefully selected for their safety and their positive impact for the mother and baby. I would love to help you explore the many benefits of essential oils and support you on your journey to wellness.

Just finished my new sweater. It's an older pattern, which I prefer. Now for some socks!!!
I finally figured out how to work the card reader and memory card for my camera. [A greatly appreciated gift from Quinton, as you may recall.]
I made these worsted weight longjohns in the mid 1980's. They are super warm and perfect for frigid winters...like this one ! The gradually shaped legs are joined at the crotch, then the hips are decreased at the center front and back to the ribbed waistband.
I am looking to buy a large quantity of fluffy soft, bulky yarn for a
duvet cover I am planning on knitting. I found Yarn-Paradise online and they
have a massive collection. Their prices are amazingly low as are their
shipping prices. Has anyone ever bought from them?
Hey, so put it down a few months back and got caught up in life events for a bit...starting again, just ordered a new book and yarns to make a cool baby blanket for a good friend who is expecting...will post more once I get started again. Forgot just how soothing and enjoyable this is!
I haven't been knitting much lately. I've been spending time on my quilting for Project Linus.
I had some yarn left over from my son's slippers, so I thought I'd work up a nice hat. With all the seed stitch discussion we have had in an earlier post, I thought I might as well practice it, since I have never used it for anything. When I got to the place where I needed to decrease, I just couldn't find any good ways to decrease using seed stitch.
I finished this pair of socks for my friend, Alyson. I've been working on my Summit Shawl (Wrap), but took a break from it so that I could do her socks. I've been promising her a pair, so thought that I would get them done so that she can wear them while the weather is cold.
Pattern: Hofsos Pullover by Stephen West
Yarn: Brooklyn Tweed Loft (Fossil, Woodsmoke, & Stormcloud)
Needles: US 7 & 8

A guest´s video of our quinta
Click on picture to view video
Quinta das Acácias is located in the south coast of São Miguel within a 2 kilometer distance from oceanfront. In this area one will find Populo beach, which is known for its clear and warm waters.
The Quinta sits within the rural boundaries of the town of Livramento. It is approximately 8 kilometers to the city center of Ponta Delgada. The central positioning of the Quinta in the island offers our visitors the best strategic point to discover São Miguel.
Nearest beach: Populo beach at 3 kilometers
Nearest airport: João Paulo II (PDL) at 11 kilometers
Nearest highway intersection: Expressway at 1 kilometer
Nearest ferry port: Ponta Delgada at 8 kilometers
Discover the year round activities that our islands will entice you to venture and explore.
In the Azores our visitors can experience an ongoing world of activities 365 days of the year.
Walk on the wild side of nature and experience the old trails that were traveled for centuries between connecting villages. Shoot a round of golf on Christmas day morning and later in the evening enjoy the old traditional customs of the festive season. Perhaps architecture of basalt stone that so commonly exists throughout the islands happens to be your niche. Maybe sailing around one of the islands sounds more adventurous and daring, and experience the emotions that the early navigators must have felt when they discovered this green paradise known as the Azores. Our menu is large, and our welcome mat equally as large. Bem-vindo. The Azores awaits your discovery.

We drove to a buffet where you could have just about any dish you wanted, fresh and hot. Fresh and hot, like us. You pay as you enter and take whatever you want to eat. All top quality cooking.

A story about Kat's first experience with a woman
I had been with the dance company for just under two weeks. I came in as a last minute replacement, and had learnt the choreography very quickly. Luckily, there were so many people that were willing to help me. There was one rehearsal that stood out the most for me. I guess the best way to describe it would be: a new Experience. One that I definitely enjoyed, and definitely want to do again....Read On

Kat and me: Our first motel hook-up
Monday morning. July 8, 2013. Had Saturday really happened? Had I really just had my first girl-on-girl sex? With a woman who has as beautiful a soul as she had a body? Hesitantly, not quite believing it all, as I was dressing for work, I called the cell phone number that Kathy had given me two days earlier. "Hi, this Kat," she said cheerfully. "I want you to sit on my face!" I blurted...Read On

Me and the gf are going down south for about a week to venture. So last year we went to Knotts and they had the park some-what themed around V-Day...my question is, does Disneyland do this? for example do they offer any deals/events/etc.? I have been to d-Land many times, but not on V-Day, and I am SUPER excited about it, any thoughts are appreciated. =D

Episode 194: Why Do You Hate Your Calfs?
Hey MWodi's, We've got to remember to think horses, not Cape Buffalos. What am I talking about? Well when we are addressing a movement limitation at a joint or a painful area, we've got to look to look at the tissues directly upstream and downstream of the problem. If you find a short range of motion, or a horrible nasty tissue, start there. Chances are, that's a big part of the problem. The restricted neighbor tissue can be causing and – injury or a mechanical fault. Simple. Show your calfs some respect eh? Don't hate, mobilize with the love. Kstar

CLEMSON ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper had some welcomed words for the Clemson football coaching staff today. Kiper told reporters in a conference call he is of the opinion Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and receiver DeAndre Hopkins should return for their senior seasons in 2013.
Boyd is expected to return as he is viewed as a mid- to late-round draft choice. Boyds own father, Tim, told the Post and Courier last month he also thinks his son should return.
Boyds lack of prototype NFL quarterback height is hurting his draft stock despite setting a number of school passing records this season.
I believe seniors who are coming out are so much better served in the NFL, Kiper said. You ask so much of a rookie,... that extra year helps. One more year of NFL evaluations is big.
Boyd is not going to get any taller but he can get more experience.
Kiper said he believes only projected first-round picks should leave school early. The NFLs rookie contracts have declined in value lessening the motivation for players to leave early.
Hopkins is projected as a second-round pick.
While Hopkins would have a hard time bettering his numbers as a senior he caught 69 passes for 1,214 yards and 16 TDs this fall Kiper thinks he could benefit from being participating in the Senior Bowl and other postseason workouts attended by scouts.

One of those things many college students first encounter when they move into their dorm, away from mom and dad for the first time is the joys of doing laundry. Usually that's a sarcastic expression, right?
I have a confession to make. I've come to love doing my own laundry. I'm an organizer at heart, and sorting all of my clothes out and folding them up and having everything neat and clean is a very satisfying feeling for me. Don't let this fool you though—I know how to stack up a pile of laundry with the best of them.
Let me explain. These past two years I've had great closet space. And closets are wonderful because they hide all manner of untidy things. Sometimes opening the door to the closet becomes treacherous. Without fail, those dirty socks sneakily make their way out of the closet and pants end up hanging from bedposts. Which, therefore, makes it all the more satisfying when I gather up this mess, toss it in the washer, and end up with a great selection of clothes the next morning when I'm getting ready. Even better, laundry in the residence halls is one of those things that you can use your Jacket Express for on campus. So I never have to scramble for quarters either! I'm going to miss swiping my laundry when I head out here soon into the real world.
Read up on laundry and other dorm essentials here on the website.
