We are one of the first out of city centre beauty salons in Nottingham offering this amazing treatment! Our ultrasound liposuction machine is proven to successfully reduce the amount of bodyfat on those who have received treatment. Ultrasound liposuction is a technique that reduces bodyfat and allows cellulite to be removed selectively, safely and non invasively. As an inch loss treatment, it really is hard to beat. Whilst the term "liposuction" is slightly misleading (because this treatment is non-invasive) it does help to explain the effects of the treatment. Our ultrasound lipo machine uses low frequency ultrasound which is conducted through the skin to break up the fatty tissue into a liquid substance. This liquid is then passed out of the body when you visit the toilet.
The machine can be used for up to 15 minutes on one area of the body, and up to 30 minutes in one session.
You will need to drink plenty of water to flush away the toxins that result from the breakdown of fat, and should only have a treatment every 72 hours.
It's Effective
In many cases your customers will see the effects of the ultrasound lipo treatment after just one session. Every person is different of course and some people will need to use the Cavislim for a number of sessions before noticing the results. However, you can expect to see smoother, firmer skin, reduced cellulite, inch loss and a reduction in the levels of body fat
Online bookings let you pick date/time for your visit.
If you purchase an eVoucher you will need to book with the venue directly.

Secrets of Success
Double Tie Your Laces & Other Race Day Advice
Friday, September 16, 2011
Yep, happened again yesterday doing the HIIT (Hi Intensity Interval Training) workout. Just before the 7th or 8th sprint my right sneaker felt loose and sure enough I forgot to double tie my laces. Had to take time to re-tie both as the other one wasn't far behind in wanting to come undone. Just what you don't need if going for a new personal best. Not that you can't accomplish great things with untied laces, just look at Usain Bolt. He won the 100 Meter and set a new world record at the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, all with his left shoe untied.
Still, if we can make our runs and races easier why not. So here's my list of things I've come up with to do just that.
1. Double Tie Your Laces (oh, you've heard this one before.)
2. Blow your nose! You think it's funny but it's not :) Runners know that everything gets "juicy" as you get going. Sweats bad enough, no one wants a wrist band covered in boogers too.
3. Run with water. It's amazing how a dry mouth/palate can affect performance, but it does. A little goes a long way and I usually make it through with 8-12 oz per hour.
4. Warm-Up Don't be afraid to walk around, jog in place or even stretch before hand. Your run will be that much better for it.
5. Cover your nipples (c'mon guys and gals that's medical terminology. And if that offends you you'd best skip the Wiki) and other hot spots with tape or other friction aids. The longer the run the more damage you can inflict on yourself so plan accordingly. Blisters can make your run unbearable or stop you dead in your tracks.
6. Don't Eat Within 2 hours Of Start - That's kind of a personal preference and some may be able to get away with an hour or even less, but do the research and see what others think and put it to the test. I've run after not having eaten for 4 or more hours and had some really good runs. Eating too soon before the run/race starts diverts blood from your muscles (where you'd like it) to your intestines to help digest the food you just ate, sapping performance and, maybe even worse, paving the way for some killer cramps and/or nausea. You have about an hour of energy stored in your muscles so save the "Goo" for after that 5 or 10K, unless your running longer distances.
That's my list so far. Have I missed anything? What tips and tricks do you use to get you through your runs? Thanks and be safe out there.

Yep, girls have nipple issues too - even with the sports bra. I usually slather up quite a bit with some stick stuff... it helps. And for my ankles, if it is a long one - I tape them up... I get pretty bad blisters, but found a way to tie my shoes so it helps on the shorter runs.
Thanks for sharing Kirk!

Oh, you only wear tape on your nipples when you run...not all the time? I must be doing it backwards. :) Anyway, good advice. If I ever start running I'll keep this in mind! Best, E

It is always a good time to double tie your laces. I stumbled many times before I started doing it. For goodness sakes, we double tie baby's shoes so they can't get them untied, what takes us so long to realize that it is much safer for us to do it for ourselves at all times, not just for racing. Thanks for reminding everyone of this fact.

And I thought my hubby was crazy when he says that his nipples hurt after a long run!
He'll have to shave around there before putting tape on them though... OUCH!

If you're confident you are sure about something, someone, or yourself. He was confident he could keep his balance and cross the river on the skinny log, but he wasn't so confident that the log was strong enough to hold him.
Confident is often a word of assurance. Someone may ask, "Are you sure that's the right way to do it?" and then, just to be assured, they might say, "So, you're confident that's the right wire to cut so the bomb doesn't blow?" Being really sure of something or being sure of yourself is being confident. "He held his head high, but not in an arrogant or show-off way; he was just confident about who he was. He liked himself."

This lens is one of Pentax's three FA Limited offerings - the others being the FA 31m and FA 43.
It is a lens that really needs to be used to be appreciated. Build like a well-engineered watch, it delivers the much-maligned "3-D effect" even to folks who don't believe in the "3-D effect".
This lens will make you a believer. Sharpness, contrast, bokeh... pixie dust. It's probably my favorite overall telephoto in two mounts.
Some CA wide-open. Not a super-fast focuser. Really the biggest shame with this lens is that Pentax does not offer a FF camera to shoot it on.

Although there is a sizeable literature on the effect of private school attendance on academic student outcomes, the number of studies that investigate the impact of school sector on non-academic outcomes is limited. Using a rich data set, we analyze the impact of Catholic school attendance on the likelihood that teenagers use or sell drugs, commit property crime, have sex, join gangs, attempt suicide, or run away from home. We employ propensity score matching methods to control for the endogeneity of school choice. Catholic school attendance reduces the propensity to use cocaine and to have sex for female students. However, it increases the propensity to use and sell drugs for male students.
Keywords: Catholic schools; crime; risky behavior

OLYMPIA — With their excess campaign cash, politicians in Washington state often return money to donors, forward it to their political party, or donate it to charity. Some, however, decide to use the funds for other things: alcohol, iPads or auto repairs.
Records show that since the beginning of 2007, Republican Rep. Mike Armstrong of Wenatchee has pulled $7,000 in campaign cash to buy clothing. Democratic State Auditor Brian Sonntag used the money to buy more than $1,000 in Mariners tickets, and Joe McDermott, a Democratic member of the King County Council, used $5,600 to pay for his tuition at Harvard.
The spending, which possibly tests the boundaries of state law, is conducted with little scrutiny through so-called surplus accounts that rarely get public examination. The Associated Press identified hundreds
of questionable expenses — from Democrats and Republicans — during a computer analysis of more than 500,000 spending reports obtained under public disclosure laws.
Surplus accounts are intended to allow candidates a way to hold onto cash between elections, and provide politicians options for how to properly disperse money that's not needed. Candidates can donate cash, but one umbrella option frequently used by officials allows them to spend the money for what the law terms "public office-related expenses."
Lt. Gov. Brad Owen spent about $760 from his surplus funds account at an Olympia liquor store, reporting the items were for various functions, dignitary gifts and attorney dinners. Owen said drinks were served at after-hours events for state staffers and at other functions at his home. He said all of it was linked to his work in the office, noting that he wouldn't have been able to purchase alcohol with government money.
Zarelli's wife's charity
Even the donations to charity — an allowable use of surplus funds — can have a tangential benefit to politicians. Owen reported that several of his donations were for "event tickets," including $500 to a nonprofit called Strategies For Youth. Owen was president of that nonprofit when the donation was given in 2009, and his wife was the only person drawing a salary from the organization — $6,800 for serving as vice president, according to IRS documents.
Owen said there was never any issue about conflict of interest, noting that he's always been open about how his office partnered with the nonprofit to reach out to kids.
Recently departed state Sen. Joe Zarelli sent more than $10,000 of surplus funds to a charity run by his wife and that listed Zarelli himself as secretary. That money provided about three-quarters of the charity's contribution revenue in 2008, according to IRS records. Zarelli did not return calls for comment Monday.
Sonntag, a dedicated baseball fan, said he typically gave his Mariners tickets away — either as an auction item, at church or to staff members in his office.
Armstrong said his clothing purchases were related to his work in the Legislature. Armstrong, who also works as external affairs director for the Port of Chelan County, said he doesn't typically wear the apparel when he isn't doing his work as a state lawmaker.
"The only thing I wear suits for is the Legislature. And I'll probably pick out a good one to be buried in some day," Armstrong said.
'Solely for work'
The state Public Disclosure Commission does not maintain explicit guidelines for what qualifies as an unreimbursed office-related expense, and it's the burden of the officeholder to prove that an expense is related to office work, agency spokeswoman Lori Anderson said.
Anderson said she would caution public officials about using the money for clothes, car repairs or other potentially personal expenses because the items in question can't be used for private activities and public office. An iPad purchased with campaign funds, for example, couldn't be loaded with family photos or used to read a book on a plane, while clothes bought with the money could never be worn for personal events.
"Whatever they buy has to be used solely for work," Anderson said.
Rep. Charles Ross, R-Naches, reported spending $1,250 on an iPad in 2011, even though the top model only costs $700. He followed that up with the purchase of another iPad for $900 just six months later. In 2010, Ross spent more than $1,800 for a new computer for what he described as his home office.
Ross told the Yakima Herald-Republic the electronic devices are used for business and personal purposes.
Armstrong wasn't the only person using the account for clothes. So did Democratic state Sen. Brian Hatfield of Raymond, GOP Rep. Ed Orcutt of Kalama and Swecker. Orcutt said his clothing is used almost exclusively for work as a lawmaker.

Wow. Just... Wow. This is amazing, i'm having trouble just finding the words to describe this. The details. It seems like every piece of hair is in place, even the individual hairs straying from the bundles. Even the details of her shirt - looks a little complex to do. I am stunned, truely ~
May i ask if you have ever met someone whom you have drawn and shown them or have had them sign your art? They would be amazed. c:

Amazing!! I love it thumbs up for T-swift
Fantastic work! this is really smooth.. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask your technique to achieve the blonde strands 'overlapping' the other blond parts that flow in another direction. Do you use a fine tip eraser to erase across? Will be grateful for your tip!

Love love love what a wonderful piece!

Bloody sheets
Tenderly she moves me
An opera star
Dying hard for love
You say I'm hurt
I will take your word
Leather pants
A hundred dollars

Hanging with your fashionable whores
And I'm a wounded bird
I will take your word
You and tom (you and tom)
To the prom (to the prom)

Everyone's the same and on and on
Emerging from the football stands
Clinging to his broken hand
It's over I have seen it all before
Nakedness (nakedness)
A flying lesson
Tattered dress
Sunburned chest
You will pay for your excessive charm
With a boy who knows
Less than he thinks
Drinks up his expensive drinks
Be careful with the DETAILS OF THE WAR

[caption id="attachment_85697" align="alignright" width="300"] Dan Cohn and Bruce Cohn[/caption]
GLEN ELLEN -- Bruce Cohn, who has managed the rock band The Doobie Brothers for more than four decades and started B.R. Cohn Winery three decades ago, said he plans to focus on band management and the annual benefit concert that draws thousands to the Sonoma Valley property, passing oversight of the wine and food company to his oldest son.
Dan Cohn, 39, who has been senior vice president and national sales manager for the past dozen years, moved up to chief executive officer, said Bruce Cohn, 67, put the succession plan into action nearly 20 months ago.
"This transition fulfills a long-term objective of family succession," Bruce Cohn said in a statement.
The announcement caps a succession plan nearly 20 months in process and helps address rumors circulating in the wine business that the businesses' financiers were pushing for a change in management, according to Dan Cohn.
"Rumors are rumors," he said. "We were going through succession. With this announcement, we're putting all the rumors at bay."
Dan Cohn said he plans to concentrate on growing the winery's national wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses as well as improving the Olive Hill estate and other ultrapremium wines.
"The estate was really founded on single-estate cab," he said. "We have a microclimate from a hot spring that comes up in the property and keeps it seven to 10 degrees warmer than the rest of Sonoma Valley."
Long-planned capital improvements likely will come next year, after enhancements and repositioning of the wine brands this year, according to Dan Cohn.

Kingdom of Herod: 30 BCE to 70 CE
The Herodian Period: 37 BCE - 73 CE
The Romans, who conquered the kingdom of Judea in 63 BCE, appointed their Jewish ally, Herod, of Edomite extraction, as king of Judea in 37 BCE, after the last king of the Hasmonean dynasty was deposed and executed. King Herod "The Great" ruled until his death in 4 BCE. He initiated monumental construction projects, including the building of new cities and fortresses like Caesarea and Masada, and the rebuilding and expansion of the Second Temple, first erected in 516 BCE.
During Herod's reign, the Jewish kingdom enjoyed a degree of autonomous rule under the Roman Empire. After his death, the Romans tightened their control over the Jewish population. This led eventually to the Great Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) which resulted in the destruction of the Second Temple and of Jerusalem (70 CE), and the killing or expulsion of many hundreds of thousands of Jews by the Romans.

Love the blue!!
Wow! Amazing!
yea. good feeling!!
100% !!!
so wonderful
Where are these statues? It's such a cool way to expose art in such a public way.
Thank you everyone. The statues are a permanent feature on Crosby beach near Liverpool. Its an installation called 'Another Place' by sculptor Anthony Gormley. There are literally hundreds of them at various positions along the beach. Some are always uncovered; some spend most of the day underwater. Its very powerful and so popular that the council bought it as a permanent piece
Amazing & surreal! Wow... like something from a movie. Great shot, Mark!
Really Cool
great work!
amazing what a beautiful public artwork and your capture of the work is beautiful
Fantastic, Mark. I can see why one would return again and again to photograph this incredible work. Hope to visit some day.
Great picture! Anthony Gormley is an amazing artist.
just amazing!
great image Mark and also a little bit different to all the other images from there! I would like to go one day soon :) not too far from Preston!!
Wow, what an eerie atmosphere! Great work.

I was really shocked at how little the clamps opened. The other curlers I've used usually opens to 3 cm but this one opens to about only 1 cm.

I am trying to figure out how much to contribute to my 401k since I have now been with my company a year. My husband only contributes 2%. Our combined income is around $110k. What should we be contributing out of our total income? Figuring we have nothing in there now.
What % of income to contribute to 401k at 28 years old?
Max the company match for both of you, as applicable.
After that, do you have high interest debt?
Target 15% of total household income as a minimum, and work up to 20% as soon as possible.
Oh man, thats a lot! We definitely can't do that much right now until we pay off some debt (hopefully by the end of the year).
I don't think from looking at my husbands paystubs that they contribute anything to his 401k. My company does 100% up to 6%.
Does that change anything?
You should definitely do 6% for you.
My company match does NOT show up on my paystub. If I log into my 401k's website though, I can see the money going in.
But even that isn't reliable, as some employers match at the end of the year.
He should ask HR about the match.
Really examine your budget and do as much as you can now vs. waiting. The longer you wait the more compound interest you lose out on.
Sittin' on a fence post chewing my bubble gum, chomp chomp, playing with my yo-yo, woo woo!!
Start at least at the matching level for each employer. If yours matches up to 6% then you put in 6% they put in 6 and you have 12% invested.
For DH - call and ask
If DH's doesnt match, I would do the following:
1) put 6% into yours first
2) max out his ROTH IRA
3) max out your ROTH IRA
4) add to his 401k
5) max out 401ks
Of course 2-5 can be changed around depending on your preferences and future tax implications.
So I just confirmed with his HR department that they currently do not match.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the difference between a ROTH IRA and 401k?
And thank you all for the advice :)
An IRA (Roth or otherwise) is an Individual Retirement Arrangement. Usually directly between you and the financial institution (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.)
A 401k is an employer based plan.
The tax treatment is different between a Roth and a traditional retirement vehicle.
A traditional IRA is not likely fully deductible for you, so I'd leave that one off the table.
For a Roth, you contribute after tax dollars, and you don't pay taxes on qualified withdrawals. Tax benefits are on the way OUT.
For a traditional (like a regular 401k), you contribute pre-tax dollars, but you pay taxes on withdrawals later. Tax benefits are on the way IN.

Gouvernorat de Tunis Travel Guide: 284 reviews and 984 photos
This year brought me and family many difficulties about life and business. Holiday was realy surprising and i was not sure if i could use my last chance till mid-july. Well. I arranged everything needed and we took off from Istanbul on July the 15th for Tunis.
That holiday was very important for us because of my wife's first time abroad. It was exciting.
Our main destination was Hammamet, anyway we had the opportunity to visit Tunis, the capital in a daily trip.
- Pros:Architecture, especialy Mosques...

- In a nutshell:peaceful capital city

This past Spring Break, we sprung a surprise on Nikk.
But let me backup for a moment....
We decided to go to Disney, kind of on a whim. My husband had always been hesitant about Disney because of the cost, so it rarely came up in vacation conversation. But somehow, it came up and literally my husband and I were saying, "Let's do it!" (of course, the husband had a caveat that this will be a one-time trip and we probably won't ever go back... remember he said that)
Our first trip to Disney World consisted of our me, my husband and son (naturally), my Mom & Dad and my Father-In-Law. But the more the merrier right? So we planned the trip along with our close family friends who have a son the same age as Nikk, and so they had a set of Grandparents to come along.
Considering the large group we were planning to go with, it really went smoothly.
My friend and I had an absolute blast planning everything from the drive down, to the Fast Pass selection to dinner ideas. I don't know, I love planning these types of things. It's exhilarating to see a plan come together.
So, the way our trip worked was that we left on a Saturday, just around noon. We drove from Greenville, SC to Jacksonville, FL. We stayed at the Hampton Inn - Airport in Jacksonville that night, which was a nice layover spot for us. The next morning we promptly checked out and made our way to Disney World. Of course, upon getting there we surprised the kiddo.
We stayed checked into Disney's All Star Sports Resort that Sunday afternoon and got settled into our room and hung out by the pool and got acquainted with the resort that evening. Starting that Monday, through Friday night - we partied hardy Disney style. I have so much that I could talk about with each Disney Park that I honestly think I could dedicate a post or 2 to each one. Then that Saturday morning we checked out, and drove home.
Fast forward about 4 months (to today)....
I'm about to book our next trip to Disney World again. My husband came back from our vacation totally pumped about Disney and was probably more gung-ho about booking again from the minute we stepped back into our house.
So.. here we are again... we're going to Disney!!

Personal Progress (it's never really complete)3.23.2015 | Labels: lds , personal progress , youth , YW
Last Wednesday night was the Spartanburg 2nd's New Beginnings for our Young Women. New Beginnings is a wonderful way to start the year (I know, it's March), and welcome any new Young Women that may be entering the program this year.
This year's theme for Young Women is Mutual Theme is "O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day" D&C 4:2
The theme of "Embark" is really a neat one because you can encompass into so many things. Our Young Women President really found a beautiful way to use it in this year's New Beginnings and to help us with our Young Women in Excellence program that happens in November. She made all of the girls "Spiritual Passports" to use as we "Embark" upon our journey in Young Women this year. She tied the video below into the program and I think it was perfect.
Our Young Women's Second Counselor created a beautiful, big ship (like the one in the Embark logo) and the Young Women introduced the Young Women values on flags and hung them on the ship. It was a great introduction into my talk, about what a fun way to start "sailing" through Personal Progress!
Also during the night, we had three Personal Progress Recognition Awards and medallions handed out. Myself, and beautiful Young Woman who recently moved into Relief Society and her mother! I loved doing Personal Progress and frankly, I'm a little sad that I've completed it. Although, I supposed my Personal Progress journey isn't ever really over, even if I'm not recording it all in my book. However, I can say from my heart that it is a wonderful program that I would welcome any Young Women (or in my case, not so Young) to strive to finish. You will come out at the end with so much growth. Spiritually, educationally, physically. The church truly knew what they were doing when they put this program together and I'm grateful for it.

Now.. time to work on getting my Honor Bee!
#BloggingFail3.05.2015 | Labels: things that suck
I'm just totally failing at blogging.
It's not that I don't have things to talk about.. it's just I don't have time to compile all of these thoughts and get them down.
However, I am writing in my journal much more... you know, those paper things that we used to all keep hidden under our pillow where we talked about how much we loved Bobby and couldn't live without him (spoiler alert... we lived).
I usually keep up with friends and family on Instagram and FaceBook and Twitter so I feel like my poor blog is just neglected.
I'm a bad blog-mommy.
Ringing in 2015!12.31.2014 | Labels: new years resolutions
Happy New Year!
2014 has been a wonderful year. Here is wishing everyone a prosperous and happy 2015!
Do I have resolutions? Of course!
I resolve that in 2015 I am....
.. going to focus on my family
Not that I don't know but I sometimes feel we have so many priorities that I feel our family time becomes strained. I want to make sure my focus is on my family in all that I do.
.. working on my marriage
Marriage is work. Sometimes it's easy and other times it's not. It's been easy, but I don't want us to fall into a rut.
.. going to continue working on my health
Because I want to live.
.. going to grow
In every way possible.
So... enjoy the remaining time in 2014 (if you haven't already rang in the new year) and see you next year!
Young Women In Excellence (and other excellent things)11.12.2014 | Labels: kid stuff , lds , YW
Tonight is our annual Young Women in Excellence program where we get to recognize our wonderful young women and all the things they've accomplished this year. The Stake recently announced that they will stop doing the Young Women recognition ceremonies, which I like, because now we get to recognize our girl's in our ward and by their own leaders instead of Stake leaders. Not that it wasn't nice, but I feel like this is much more personal.

I don't typically shy away from change. In fact, growing up in the military has taught me to deal pretty well with change and in my career I've found change to be a good thing.
So about a year ago I was called into the Young Women's presidency in our ward at church. I was the 2nd Counselor and I served with some really fun and amazing women. It's probably been one of the most rewarding callings I've ever had (out of the whole 2 of them I've held). Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of work and it was incredibly time consuming but completely worth it.
This was my first time in any type of presidency role so I was learning a lot new things, like how presidencies worked, how Young Women worked, how to teach lessons, how to plan for multiple events at one time among a lot of other things - administratively speaking.
It also helped me grow tremendously spiritually. As I got to know more and more about these wonderful Young Women that I was serving, it did two important things. It reminded me of how much I needed when I was a teen and it gave me hope that I could help maybe even one girl through a struggle. And secondly, it made me pray, a lot. I prayed for these girls and for our presidency so often, just begging to know how we could serve them in the way they needed. I've never prayed so much in my entire life.
entire presidency, it was still such an awful thought. I loved all the women I was serving with. Then the fear came to mind, what if I didn't get called back into Young Women? So the day came where I met with one of the Bishopric members and he told me that I was being released from Young Women, just as I knew I would be, and then he mentions that they would like to offer another calling to me. So the first thing that starts happening in my head is I start rattling through all the different places I could be called, and I start sweating and I smile and I try not to look terrified. And then he asks if I would be interested in being the 1st Counselor for the Young Women's program! And I immediately said "yes" and immediately my fear was replaced with questions. Who would be the President? Who would be the 2nd Counselor?
My questions were answered a little bit later in Sacrament meeting when we were all announced. And as soon as I found out who the new President and 2nd Counselor were, I was immediately thrilled, and completely intimidated, but excited! And then I was sad as well, I knew this was change. But change happens. And I'm rolling with it.
So here I am, a few weeks into our new Presidency and honestly, I feel like it works so well. It's different and that's not a bad thing.. it's just different. I like how we were before and I like how we are now. But the one thing that isn't different are the girls. And that's what I love.
I'm so grateful to be able to serve in my Church. I'm so grateful for the people who are here mentoring me and teaching me so much. I love the girls that I serve, they are amazing. I see their different personalities and how alike and different they are and I love them each for being exactly who they are. I love the ones that are there every Sunday - our rocks. I love the ones who straggle and struggle - because I know their fight. I just pray that I'm doing good work for them.
I love this journey.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Taking a peek at The Peake's new food choices
We were given a menu and a warning.
"Pace yourselves."
When the Thunder invited members of the media to come to The Peake and sample all the new foods available to fans starting with Sunday's home opener, I accepted. You might say it was a free lunch — OK, technically, that's exactly what it was — but it gave me a whole new appreciation for the Food Dude.
It wasn't easy.
At first, it didn't seem so terrible. I mean, we started out with Stromboli. What could be bad about eating the Italian concoction with meats and cheeses stuffed inside bread? And the Stromboli from Red River Bistro near Section 110 on the southeast side of the main concourse was tasty.
But here's the deal — that warning about pacing ourselves was still ringing in my ears, so I only ate two bites.
I wish that restraint would've held up the rest of the day.
We moved then to the Center Court Carvery. It opened last season on the main concourse near the main entrance as part of the arena renovations, and its big feature is a buffet.
We got to sample prime rib and roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables and caprese salad, and while I'm sure all of it was good, I really only remember one thing — the ham.
Yes, ham.
I'm not particularly partial to pork, but whatever executive chef Andrew Murin and his people did to that ham made me forget the pace-yourself warning. I ate the whole slab that I'd been given.
But at least I didn't go back for more.
Next came two items that I wanted to try as soon as I saw the menu: armadillo eggs and glazed doughnut bread pudding. Both are now on the menu at Center Court Grill, the restaurant that's attached to Center Court Carvery.
(They take reservations, by the way.)
The armadillo eggs — thankfully but a bit sadly, too — aren't really armadillo eggs. They are peppers stuffed with brisket and cheese, breaded and fried.
And they are every bit as delicious as that sounds.
Ditto for the glazed doughnut bread pudding. Donuts by themselves are grand, but doughnuts as bread pudding might actually be even better.
Our tour of gluttony, er, arena food moved upstairs next. The Loud City level has a new grab-and-go spot this season. Located near Section 315 on the southeast side, Wing-N-It serves what its name suggests, but it goes beyond the standard wings.
There are several flavors. Classic Buffalo. Spicy Asian. Chipotle barbecue. Garlic Parmesan.
I'll save you the guesswork — garlic Parmesan is the answer.
It was good enough for me to eat an entire wing, and at that point, that was saying a lot.
Our final stops were on the club level, starting in the Sunset Club on the southwest side. Blue Pit BBQ there has smoked meats in all shapes and sizes, including a sandwich called the Thunder Stack that is about as big as my head.
But I would go with the garlic masher sundae. It's got your meats. It's got your potatoes. But it's served to look like a sundae. Mashed potatoes as the ice cream. Gravy as the chocolate topping.
Eat your heart out Ron Swanson.
I managed to eat a bite of each of the meats — the sausage was best — but even at that, I realized that I hadn't heeded the warning. I hadn't paced myself well enough.
And we still had one more stop.
The Tri State Lounge on the northeast side has a mojito quesadilla that is good, but frankly, I'm sure it's way better than I remember because by the time I took a bite of it, the last thing I wanted was anymore food.
Arena officials say that the best-selling food in every arena is the same. Popcorn. Hot dogs. Chicken tenders. Pretzels. That goes for Oklahoma City, too.
But The Peake expands and changes its menu more often than most because of Thunder fans. There are a ton of season ticket holders who attend 80 or 90 percent of games. That isn't the norm among NBA fans. But because it's the way Thunder fans do business, the arena has to work hard to give them a variety of food options.
I can attest — there is plenty of good stuff this season.
It was a stretch (primarily for my waistline) to try all that new food, but for you, Thunder fans, I did it.
For you, I made the sacrifice.

The Peake has a bunch of new food offerings for Thunder fans this season. Oklahoman columnist Jenni Carlson tried all of them, and here's a look at her top five:
1. Pit ham with smoke apple jack glaze, Center Court Carvery, $22.50 for the buffet or $14 for a sandwich.
2. Garlic parmesan wings, Wing-N-It, $9.50
3. Armadillo eggs, Center Court Grill, $9.
4. Stromboli, Red River Bistro, $8.50.
5. Muffaletta, Red River Bistro, $8.

You can begin thinking about ideas but please keep in mind that we are still in the very early stages of GSoC preparation. Google will publish the list of accepted organizations on April 8th. Then there is a period of over 3 weeks to discuss your project idea with the organization. In the meantime, the best thing to do is to get familiar with the code bases and see if you can find/fix a bug. Contributing patches is a great way to get noticed. There is always a chance that QEMU and/or libvirt may not be among the list of accepted organizations, so don't put all your eggs in one basket :). Stefan

M.A.C dazzlglass vs Milani lip mixers
photo: nessasarymakeup
Anyone who knows mac know about their dazzling, dazzle glasses. Ever since their release women would break their necks for the shimmery gloss. Baby Sparks was and is the most sought out one, right next to Love Alert. I have yet to get my paws on this glosses and now I don't have to thanks to Milani!
I believe dazzleglass costs $18 bucks? I may be wrong, but either way its less product than the lipglass. Milani has created Lip Mixers and I am hooked! For only $4.99 I purchased Lip Party what I love most is that I get the exact color pay off as Baby sparks. I don't know if Milani has other colors because I purchased mines from Target and they only had the color Lip Party. Here's a swatch...

Though existing offshore wind farms have yet to be tested with a major hurricane, experts said it�s unlikely the threat of tropical storms will deter developers from pursuing installations in North Carolina waters.
�I�ve not yet seen that it�s a showstopper,� Brian O�Hara, president of the Southeastern Coastal Wind Coalition, said during a presentation in Raleigh last month. �It�s a combination of engineering from manufacturers who are aware of the issue, and risk mitigation from insurance providers.�
The most recently developed wind turbines, installed off the coast in Europe, are built to withstand up to a Category 3 hurricane.
�There�s not much that man builds that does well in a Category 5 hurricane. Luckily, the frequency of those is one every 100-plus years,� he said. �So the question becomes, how far do you have to go with design and where do you pick it up with insurance? But so far, no one has identified it was a showstopper.�
Since 1851 � the first recorded Atlantic hurricane season � 13 hurricanes classified as a Category 3 or higher have made landfall in North Carolina. But only one of those storms � Hurricane Hazel, in 1954 � was a Category 4. No Category 5 hurricane has ever hit the Tar Heel State coast.
