Broan Air Conditioners Reviews – Consumer Ratings
Broan air conditioners offer the low end air conditioner beginning at 13 SEER and the high end Broan air conditioner comes in at a whopping 25.5 SEER which is hard to beat for any air source air conditioner. Broan air conditioners are actually manufactured by Nordyne who perfected the IQ Drive system that makes the Broan air conditioners so efficient. The top of the line Broan air conditioner at 24.5 SEER is a higher SEER rating than some geothermal heat pump systems. The IQ Drive system uses the same inverter technology that has been perfected in mini-split ductless air conditioner and heat pump systems. Inverter systems modulate depending on the load of the system with modulation rates from approximately 20% all the way up to 100% based on load or actual cooling demand for the air conditioner. Various features of select Broan air conditioners include:
- The Broan air conditioner top of the line model will save you energy dollars. It offers variable speed cooling which modulates from 40% to 118%.
- ECM variable speed blowers in select models
- Rotary compressors in select models
- Scroll compressors in mid-range efficiency models
- Dehumidification control with select Broan air conditioners
Broan Air Conditioners Reviews – Consumer Ratings
Broans offers a full line of quality products including air conditioners. Their top of line air conditioners offer some of the highest SEER rated air conditioners in the industry. Remember to always choose the contractor wisely otherwise as quality installation is just important as quality product.

i love the eyes, good work

I'ts amazing how your work blends from very sketchy into nicely detailed so smoothly within a single piece. I really like that style alot!
There's something eerie and haunting in those glowing eyes, can't stop looking at them.
nice glow and iluminations dude
Your robot designs are elegant and complex in just the right amounts. Reminds me of military design.
This is awesome. I love the textures in your images. I'm definately watching you!

With all due respect I request Permission to drool Ma'am lol
Always good job on your cosplay's
Great job and very pretty
Simply awesome. You got Cattelya down pat right down to the glasses! Was it difficult to find all you needed for this costume?
Ya'know it actually was surprisingly. The materials weren't so much of a problem, but the pattern was just awful. I've never worked with this type of material before , so when I made the pattern it didn't translate well and UGH I threw this out when I got home from the con haha it photographed decently, but it was a pile of garbage.
I'm very glad you like it though, thank you so much for the compliment ^_^ even though it didn't come out well, I still worked hard on it.

Thanks for your reply! I'm sorry you were not overly satisfied with the outfit even though it was plain to see you put some thought to it. May I ask what materials you used and did you have to make the boots?
I used vinyl fabric, and the boots I actually just bought online
I see. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions! If you don't have plans to remake Cattelya I hope you get to cosplay a character with similar boots as those you bought. The boots look sexy (Not to mention the pantyhose legs in the boots ) Keep posting pics and I'll keep viewing them!
so prettayyy
absolutely gorgeous!!!
You were terribly adorable in this!
Unfortunately, I'm entirely unfamiliar with the character, but I will say that you look lovely as always.
So good!
Super Amazing .. Well done

This 3-in-one hydrator blends chemical-free broad spectrum SPF 30, and antioxidant rich Grape, Aloe and Pomegranate juices for a radiant, protected, even-toned complexion. This product is a daily essential for all skin types.
I bought this hoping to find a more natural option in sun protection. Now, I do have oily skin, but this made it completely sticky and horrible. I couldn't even use blotting sheets to remove the excess oil. I am black and didn't have any issues with the white color as it easily blended in.
I wouldn't buy it again. It left horrible white residue on my face,was hard to blend it ,and it has a funky smell.
This is a great lotion for daytime. It's light, easily absorbed, and it does not irritate my skin at all, plus I love the SPF coverage.
After cleansing in the morning, apply to damp skin. Follow with Juice Beauty Refining Finishing Powder.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Nothing gnaws at Colt McCoy or hurts him more than losing.
Just four games into his second NFL season, McCoy has already lost more games as a starting quarterback with the Cleveland Browns than he did in four years at Texas, where he finished as the winningest QB in NCAA history.
McCoy, who has taken some hard shots the past two weeks, is also taking a few hits from disgruntled Browns fans.
They want more from him, but first-year coach Pat Shurmur is preaching patience with McCoy, whom he still considers a rookie.
McCoy readily admits he has a lot to improve upon, and said he'll spend a chunk of Cleveland's bye week assessing what's working and what's not in Cleveland's new West Coast offense.

Jenny Layton, Owner and Creator
I've known for years that one day I would teach and speak and inspire others…but there's just been this one little problem: I had no idea what my message would be. This premonition has haunted me for twenty years, until one day last spring when I got the crazy idea to start a blog. The idea nagged at me until I finally took it seriously. And then I had a BIG dilemma.
There was only one thing I could possibly blog about, and to do it, I knew I'd have to own up to a few deep, dark secrets. After all, you can't just talk the talk. People only listen to what someone has to say if they have actually walked the walk. And since the blog idea grew stronger and stronger, I knew I'd have to share my story. So here it is…no sugarcoating: I have struggled with body image issues, food addictions, and compulsive overeating since I was 12.
Early on, I tried to compensate for my binges with anorexia and bulimia, but I hated being hungry, and my stomach was too strong to throw up. Left to my own devices, I tried in vain to fix this problem. Then ignore it. Then control it. Then just live with it. None of it worked, and so my life rotated on an axis of what I looked like, what I ate (or didn't eat) and how much I exercised.
That's no way to live.
The pain caused by this obsession reached a pinnacle about 4 years ago. It was either sink or swim, and I found myself ready to do anything to change. I reached out for help, and thus began a journey much deeper and more rewarding than I had ever anticipated. Suddenly, my message to share with the world was clear:
You're either running away from the hard things in life, or you are facing them. And even though it scares you to death to stick around, in the end it's much more painful to run away. Ironically, I discovered that it wasn't just the food issues I was struggling to overcome; it was life, in all of it's messy, unpredictable imperfection, that I needed to learn how to really live. My most painful challenges have become a bridge to living life the way I've always wanted it to be.
Though there are still ups and downs, I love my life. And because I've learned how to navigate through life's challenges and still live a life I love, my passion is to help other women realize that they can create a life they love too. It's a shame to spend your life wishing you could have what you really want, because you can. You can have a great life! I call it Your Best Life, and there's not a doubt in my mind that you can create it. My suffering forced me to face things about myself that weren't pretty. And I've realized that while the circumstances vary from person to person, deep down everyone struggles with the same things. They want to know they matter. They want to feel peace in their lives. They want to have purpose. That is what living Your Best Life is all about. And you are entitled to all of these things. Yes. You!
This blog is a collection of all the tips and tricks I've learned along the way. I've dabbled in Professional Organizing. I've immersed myself in a healthy lifestyle, including nutrition and exercise. I've dedicated my life to raising a family. I want to share all of these things because they contribute to living Your Best Life. But in my heart of hearts, what I really want you to know is that when you are in those dark places in life, you're not alone. I've been there, and I've seen the light. This blog is the first step in sharing that light with you.
I hope this blog can help you become a Happier Gal. Follow it, take advantage of the tips and programs, and share your experiences along the way. The time for Your Best Life is now, my friend! Because life is short, and you get one shot at it…so make it a happy one!
Wishing you Your Best Life,
Sandrine Hudgens, Graphic Designer
George Eastman said "Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography."
I have been searching for light all my life. The light that will guide me through, the light that will brighten my life, the light that will shape who I am.
I grew up in Reunion Island (which is an overseas department of France in the Indian Ocean). I grew up speaking creole (dialect we speak on the island) and French. I was inspired to come to Utah 17 years ago and follow my heart in finding my life partner. I am married to the most wonderful man with whom I have 3 beautiful children. I love them to pieces. I love to spend time with them. They complete me in every way and are the light in my life.
I started out as an avid scrapbooker, then switched to digital scrapbooking. One day, a good friend of mine let me borrow her dslr camera and the rest, as they say, is history! 🙂
I have spent the last five years perfecting my craft and learning about light. Lighting is a key element in my photography. I absolutely love it! I will always have a light of some sort with me when I go out shooting.
Shooting high school seniors is definitely my favorite, but I have taken all kinds of portraits. You can find some of my work on my blog at www.creoleartphotography.com or find me on Facebook HERE
I love designing cards, brochures and making albums. It is very therapeutic to me and I feel so blessed to have been introduced to Jenny Layton and for this wonderful opportunity to be part of her graphic designer team. I believe in Jenny and the work she is doing here with the Happy Gal blog. Being part of this team will change my life for the better. And I am so happy to be here.

AWWA: SDWA Anniversary Cause to Celebrate, 'Renew Our Commitment' to Safe Water
AWWA CEO David LaFrance thanks water professionals nationwide for keeping water safe for drinking
Dec. 16, 2014, marked the 40th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which today includes regulations for more than 90 contaminants. American Water Works Assn. (AWWA) CEO David LaFrance issued the following statement to mark the occasion.
Amway's eSpring Product First to Receive Certification for All NSF/ANSI 401 Contaminants
Fifteen contaminants covered by standard include drugs, herbicides, pesticides and chemicals

Texas Receives EPA Grant to Prevent Underground Tank Contamination
EPA Awards Texas more than $2.5 million to reduce water contamination risk in underground tanks
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently awarded the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality $2,506,000 to prevent and respond to petroleum leaks from underground storage tanks (USTs).
Keeping Up With the Contaminants
Emerging contaminants and incidental compounds discovered in drinking water supplies have sparked consumer concern throughout the U.S. WQP Associate Editor Williette Nyanue spoke with NSF Intl. drinking water expert Richard Andrew to find out what consumers are saying and how the new NSF/ANSI Standard 401 will help address these concerns.

Iron Filter
The BAF 565 Series chemical-free filter removes iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide while using up to 50% less water than traditional iron filters. Natural oxidation removes iron without the need for chemicals, air pumps or veturis. The 95 Series also is available for high flow rates for large residential and commercial applications. Both series are available in three models: BAF for neutral or higher pH, BIF for pH of greather than 7, and BIF MN for pH between 6 and 6.9.
Report Shows Northern Idaho Superfund Cleanup Improving Water Quality
Concentrations of cadmium, lead and zinc have been significantly reduced since cleanup activities began in the 1990s
A new report published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-led efforts to clean up historical mining contamination in the Coeur d'Alene and Spokane river basins in Idaho are improving water quality. Concentrations of three trace metals of concern—cadmium, lead and zinc—have been significantly reduced since cleanup activities began in the 1990s.
Filtration System
This patent-pending POU water filtration device produces drinking water without frequent maintenance, chemical additions or component replacement. The system traps and neutralizes contaminants through an ion exchange process. It processes enough water to support a family of six, includes built-in safe water storage and lasts for 10 years. The system meets the World Health Organization's Household Water Treatment specifications for removing bacteria, protozoa and viruses.
Radiation & Water
Radiological contamination of water is due to the presence of radionuclides, which are defined as atoms with unstable nuclei. In an effort to become more stable, a radionuclide emits energy in the form of rays or high-speed particles. This is called ionizing radiation because it displaces electrons, which creates ions. The three major types of ionizing radiation are alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays.

Now, the writing could have been something more than, "OMG!! WHAT'S THAT?!"
It did make fun of the entire story of the game or at least summarize it in a nutshell. But I felt that not much wasn't made fun of in the game at all. You could have made fun of other aspects rather than the story and whatnot. I mean, don't flat out point out the obvious, but try and do something like reference the situation in a clever manner. Also, the voice acting didn't help that much. I think you could hire some voice actors to make it more interesting to listen to.
The animation was alright. I mean, this is probably your first time using f-b-f animation. But I think you went a little overboard on the oney and possible egoraptor and spazkid style of animation. I mean I could tell a bit in the way it was animated. Try using a little less tweening as it didn't make it any better.
The music could have been something OTHER than the Ren and Stimpy music. It really didn't fit what you were making fun of. I mean, you could have pulled a Left4Speed 1/2 and not use music to set the mood. I mean, the silence did help some scenes of the movie.
Funny movie, never played the game but it caught my interest now. Ok now ive got to say this because it bugs the shit out of me when I see it. Thecatofnimes comment, saying its other peoples style, your fucking retarded. Seriously, there are only so many ways you can draw shit, and however people draw is THEIR style. The only way that even makes sense about saying its another persons style is if they frickin traced it. Anyway, good job thanks for the upload lol on mispelling title and trolls gonna troll.
At the start I was like "Th!5 15 EGORATOR WRITTEN ALL OVER IT"
then as it progressed I thought it looked incredibly familar to ONEY's style. Still a really good animation and very true to the story of the game XD.
There were times when i thought the animation didn't suit the parts of the game. I'd love to see you branch off from this and work on your own style of animation.
Was pretty good, the title is good we all know its a parody so don't worry :)
haha xD aw man... LOL! it was kind of awesome x) well it was good :3 bit really wierd when that zombie or monster or whatever was jerking off x) but the video was cool ;) keep it up!

Prepare using PHILADELPHIA 1/3 Less Fat Than Cream Cheese Spread.
When draining the pasta, reserve some of the cooking water. After tossing the drained pasta with the chicken mixture, add up to 1/4 cup of the reserved water until sauce is of desired consistency.

This was good. Didn't have whole wheat rotini, so used regular farfalle. This was good, but I think I would like it with sliced Italian sausage in lieu of the chicken. It would also be good with more mushrooms and no meat.
Delicious, easy to make. Served it for a luncheon and everyone raved about it. Had to make copies for guests. I made it with a deboned 1/2 leftover cooked chicken.
Easy to make but way too cheesy for us. Next time I will either significantly decrease or even eliminate the cream cheese. The topping of cheese is plenty.

Awaken The Spare Rib Within
Newsweek reports in its May 24 issue that the new Bureau of Indian Affairs chief Dave Anderson recently dispatched top staff members, at taxpayer expense, to a seminar being put on by self-help guru Tony Robbins in Chicago. Robbins is the ridiculously popular author of such motivational tomes as Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement and Awaken the Giant Within. The local barbecue magnate, a 51-year-old member of the Choctaw and Chippewa tribes, is also a longtime Robbins admirer.
According to the BIA, 14 employees attended the four-day event at a cost of $995 per person. For those keeping score, that's $13,930 in public funds.
How does the chronically mismanaged BIA justify this expense?
"He just wanted to help the employees in his office create a more positive environment in working on hard issues and with other employees," says BIA spokeswoman Nedra Darling. "He thought that this would lend to that very well."
Darling further maintains that other government agencies have sent their employees to Robbins's seminars, though she could not name one when asked.
Apparently, along with unlimited power comes the ability to roll logs: Robbins just happens to have penned a nice blurb for Anderson's own recently published book, Famous Dave's LifeSkills for Success. "Famous Dave Anderson is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary message," Robbins swoons. "His heart is solid gold and the information in his book, LifeSkills, is just as valuable."
Anderson took over the BIA post in February, but is already stirring up controversy because of his past ties to casino interests. Last month, Sen. Christopher Shays, a Connecticut Republican, called for Anderson's resignation. Anderson co-founded Grand Casinos Inc., one of the most successful Indian casino developers in the country, but left the business in 1996. His former partner, Lyle Berman, however, continues to operate Indian casinos and regularly has business before the BIA. Given these ties, Anderson has recused himself from all decisions involving tribal recognition and gambling--two central areas of concern for the agency.
If he can rise above the mesquite smoke, Famous Dave should fit right in with the Bushmen. After all, the administration's ruling philosophy seems to have been cribbed from The Power of Positive Thinking.

"Sasha...what's going on? You're putting on a lot of weight.", her mom stated bluntly as the two women were now in the living room. Sasha was in her biggest shirt which contrasted the darkness of the room with its white color. However her belly was still noticeable bulging against it and pushed out onto her lap as she sat down. Her mother was in her bedtime clothes, and stood in front of her with a worried face as her father also stood behind her, but with a softer look.
"N...nothing...I just...haven't noticed is all..." Sasha said glumly as she looked down at her lap, or belly since it was blocking part of it. It was a good thing it was night so her parents couldn't see the sheer embarrassment on her face.
"There's no way you haven't been aware of this." Her mother started again. "Look at you Sasha! You need to take care of yourself better!" Her mother then let out a sigh. "I'm not trying to be cruel. I just want you to be healthy. So can we figure out why this has been happening?"
"I dunno..." Sasha mumbled back.
Her mother let out another sigh. "Well I have noticed you've been eating more lately, and stuff that's not too healthy either, and I haven't seen you exercise since you 'quit' dancing." This caused Sasha to be embarrassed once again from her mother pointing out truths to why she had been gaining.
"So...me and your father have made up some rules then. Now Sasha these aren't meant to punish you at all, I just want to see you stay healthy." Her mother then began to list her "rules" to Sasha. They included that all snacks in the house would have a lock on them, they would be monitoring the house for any evidence if she was to bring any new snacks into the house, she had to exercise more often, and she wasn't allowed to go to any kind of restaurant that served food. That meant no dates at food shops either.
Sasha slowly stood and accepted her rules as she knew her mother was just trying to help her, and it would be pointless to fight against them. She shuffled her way to her room and sat on her bed sadly. She peered into the mirror and saw how fat she had really gotten in comparison to the start of the summer. She was definitely a big girl now. Her face was developing a second chin which appeared when she sat down, her boobs had even swelled up a few cup sizes, even her arms jiggled more and had more meat on them to the point where her hand couldn't reach halfway around it. And her thighs had swelled to the point where they where larger than her own head, and then there was her stomach. Her titanic tummy had an ample layer of fat surrounding it that enveloped most of her thighs as she sat.
She grabbed her fat and shook it in front of her mirror. "Look at this, what am I doing? I can't keep doing this to myself. Hell, I could end up losing Daniel cause of this, I don't need to risk all this just cause I'm a freak!" She said angrily as she shook her fat even more. It was then she made her decision. She didn't need this. Her fingers dialed the number on her phone as she plopped back on her bed causing it to groan more than usual as her eyes started to water.
"Sasha? What's up?" Came a voice on the other end.
"sniff...Alex there's a big problem..."
"This is totally bull by the way." Alex said to Sasha as Sasha was attempting pushups during tennis P.E. It had been three weeks since Sasha's mother's rules, but every time Sasha worked out extra it caused Alex to become bitter about the way her parents were treating her.
"I mean you're practically an adult! Why can't they just let you have some snacks?"
"Alex..huff...huff...I appreciate the thought...huff...huff...but they're right. I need to take care of myself anyway." With a groan Sasha fell on the ground exhausted. "How many was that Alex?...huff...huff"
"Six..." Alex mumbled.
"Look Sash, I think your fine, screw what your parents say. You're healthy right now. And I thought you liked this extra stuff?" Alex said poking her friend's soft perspiring midsection causing her to blush.
"Uh... well... I thought I did, but it's not worth it...I don't want to get dumped for some skinny girl either."
"Hahaha yeah right, there's no way anyone can't love you!", Alex smiled.
"Haha personal experience huh?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Alex said sarcastically. "Anyway so you got any plans for tonight?"
"Well, my parents are bringing my siblings to my grandma's house and they're spending the night, and Daniel's going to go visit a college. So I'll have the majority of the weekend to do whatever.
You wanna hang out?!" Sasha said with a happy grin.
"Do I ever! Party at your place!" Alex gleamed
"Well it won't be much of a party if all the snacks are locked up."
"Oh? Hahaha, you can just leave that to me." Alex said as she grinned a big smile.
"Okay Sasha, we're gonna be going now. I've left you some meals in the fridge and they're low calorie ones too!" Sasha's mom said as she was wrestling the two kids into the car.
"Yeah...thanks mom..."
Sasha waved to her family as they finally got everyone settled and drove out of the driveway and down the street. She then headed back inside and then as if on cue her belly let out a tremendous rumble. However all she had at this point was just the unappetizing food in the refrigerator.
"Man what the hell is this..." Sasha said as she picked up a container and threw back in the refrigerator. "This sucks..." Sasha moaned as she clutched her chubby gut. She hadn't had a "stuffing" session in over three weeks and just like any other addiction her body seemed to crave it. All she could think about was eating, and eating, and eating. Her once pure thoughts about losing weight caused by her mother and her own doubts were slowly being tuned out at the thought of eating a few good meals.
She slowly opened a container though and started eating it. It tasted outright horrible as healthy food usually does. She chewed and swallowed, but by the time one container was gone she felt worse than she did before. The light low calorie food had only seemed to ignite the raging fire of hunger within her even more. She was tempted to eat all of the containers just in order to stuff herself silly, but she knew her mom didn't really know about the quality in which she ate. So she had only given her a few containers for the weekend.
Sasha glumly plopped on her couch and flipped channels on the television as her stomach roared in response to having barely any food inside it. Sasha grabbed the plushness with her hands and shook it.
"Hey you! Shut up! I can't help it if there's no food in the house. Maybe if you didn't want so much of it and got so damn FAT then we wouldn't have this problem would we?"
Suddenly a voice shot seemingly out of her belly which shocked her until she realized it was her cell phone from her pocket blaring a song.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Yo Sash! Are the parents gone?" Came Alex's voice on the other end.
"Yep they left a little while ago, you wanna come over now?"
"Yeah let me just grab a few things..."
"BRING FOOD!!!!" Sasha yelled into the phone as she held it with both hands.
"...you know I was already planning on that..." Alex mumbled.
"Haha, yeah I just wanted to remind you." Sasha said with a giggle.
"Well next time do it without damaging my hearing..."
Sasha had changed into some short athletic shorts and a medium light green t-shirt that was a little too small, but the material was soft and comfortable to wear. Even if occasionally a sliver of her belly was visible. Soon after though the doorbell rang which made Sasha squeal with delight as she rushed to open the door. She opened it to see Alex holding three massive grocery bags as well as wearing a backpack.
"Hey Sash, your savior has arrived! I hope you're ready for a party!" Alex greeted as she walked and laid all her bags on the kitchen table before giving Sasha a big hug.
"Woah Alex, is all this food?!" Sasha said trying not to drool.
"Hahaha you bet it is! I got all the best for you! It's a shame that you don't have any around here." Sasha could barely hear Alex as her titanic tummy was rumbling in response to eating some good food. "I'll get it all ready and bring it to you but ooh! First let's get some measurements hehehe..." Alex said as she pulled out a tape measure from her backpack.
"Ca'mon let's just try this out..." Alex said leading her heavy friend into the bathroom. Once there Alex prodded Sasha to get onto the scale.
"Alex! I don't want to get on there!"
"Why not? We have to just see where you are you know...ca'mon..." And with that she gave Sasha a poke causing her to jump on the scale. Sasha's eye's shut tight at the prospect. Finally Alex read out a number.
"Woah big girl! 168!" Sasha's eyes shot open. 168!!! There's no way! How did she not notice getting this fat! No wonder her mom was worried, if she wasn't careful she'd wake up at 300 pounds one day. However her thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of Alex's arm with the tape measure being wrapped around her globular stomach.
"Alex no!!!!" Sasha said her face turning red with embarrassment.
"Woah!!! 45 inches! Haha, just look at that! I mean I'm only 25 inches around mine!" Alex said in bewilderment, while giving Sasha's love handles a pinch. It was no wonder her belly was so round! And also it seemed like every pound she gained went straight to her gut which aided in it's circumference. However before Sasha could reply her stomach let out a roar at being teased by not receiving its food.
"A..are we done here..." Sasha said blushing like mad.
"Haha we sure are." Alex replied with a wink. "Let's have our dinner now shall we?"
Because of no snacks left in the house, Alex had gone all out to make sure that her friend had more than enough food for their "party". Sasha was practically drooling in anticipation for the meal that Alex was preparing in the kitchen. She grabbed her stomach and slowly rubbed it, wishing it to be full and stuffed beyond belief.
"Alex, hurry up!!! I'm gonna die of starvation!!!" Sasha moaned.
"Somehow I just don't believe that..." Alex said with a smile as she walked into the living room with three pieces of fried chicken breasts with two biscuits as well as an ample amount of soda in a glass. "Here you are!" She said handing over the meal.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!" Sasha squealed as she snatched the food away and tore into it as fast as she possibly could. The chicken was the first to go, along with the biscuits in Sasha's rampage. She tore into the delicious greasy meat and swallowed mouthfuls as her taste buds practically exploded from the sheer taste of the chicken. She then snatched a biscuit in the other hand as she took alternating bites from each. By the time Alex got back Sasha had finished one breast and two biscuits and was halfway through the second breast.
Alex was holding a small hamburger when she sat down to her chubby friend, which caught Sasha's eye. "Oohh...werd yuh ge gat? Sasha said with her cheeks bulging with greasy chicken as she stared at her friend's meal.
"Hahaha, calm down now. Don't you have more than enough in front of you?"
"NO!" Sasha yelped as she swallowed her mouthful of food. "I haven't eaten like this in forever, and I need all the food I can get!" Sasha said as she took another bite into her chicken. Sasha had finally caved from her 'diet' and now she was planning to stuff it as much as she possibly could.
"Hahaha, well you finish that and I'll get you some of these..." Alex said with a coy smile waving the cute little burger in front of Sasha's face. This caused Sasha's eyes to widen greatly and proceeded to gulp down the chicken and rest of the biscuits. Her stomach started to swell ever so slightly as the meal meant for two started filling her up. She let out a small burp as she gulped down the soda and began to frantically finish the meal to get some of the tantalizing burgers.
The pile of chicken bones built up higher and higher as she continually stuffed the chicken meat into her. After seeing Sasha nearing the end of the first round Alex giggled and went into the kitchen to start the next burger round. Sasha on the other hand was too busy sucking off all the bones of the last chicken breast to notice. Finally with a final chug of the soda, she had finished all the food in front of her. She let out a satisfied burp as patted her meaty stomach.
"Oh yeah...that was amazing..." Sasha gasped.
"Just wait till you try these!" Alex called out suddenly.
Sasha's head spun around to see her raven haired friend walking towards her with a giant platter of the tiny hamburgers stacked on top. They were as big as the palm of your hand, but there were more than a dozen on the platter. This sight made Sasha's beautiful eyes gleam the second she saw them.
"Alex! Those look delicious!!!" Sasha said as Alex placed the platter of burgers in front of Sasha.
"Well let's just see if you can finish this!" Alex said with a giggle.
"Hahaha are you kidding me? I hope you got more than this!" Sasha said confidently. "I'll never be full!" She then grabbed burgers with each hand and began shoving them in her mouth whole. Chewing as much as possible while gulping down more soda Sasha attacked the pile of burgers with a passion. She acted like a vacuum inhaling the small burgers, but it wasn't till the seventh burger that she started to slow down.
"Hahahaha, well is the monster finally getting full?" Alex giggled as she noticed Sasha's slowing pace.
"N...never!" Sasha said with a giant grunt from trying to stand up while grabbing two more burgers. "Muahaha, me full? Do you not know what monster I am foolish human?! I am Sash-zilla, and I shall consume every morsel of food you have!" Sasha said with a giant smile from her playful speech as she then proceeded to stuff both burgers in her mouth and let out a muffed roar. She then picked her foot up and smashed it onto the carpet which actually caused the windows to rattle from her weight.
"Geez Sasha! Careful! Don't break the floor!" Alex said teasingly but also a little surprised as she glanced up to see Sasha roaring and walking forward, smashing her bare feet into the ground like out of some kind of Japanese monster movie. Alex was then exposed to how fat her friend actually was. Sasha definitely had what could be considered a pot belly at this point, as it jutted out greatly from her abdomen and it wobbled like mad as she continued to trample her way towards Alex. And now it was stuffed full from her recent eating and it looked pretty engorged. It was obvious she was full yet she still said she wanted more? Alex gazed at her friend's stomach as it wobbled close to her face.
"Well human? What do you have to say for yourself? Impressed by my might?!" Sasha said giggling like a little child from her absurd dialogue she was spewing.
"Oh yes, very much so! Hehehe you make a very persuading monster." Alex replied sinking a finger deep into Sasha's exposed belly button.
"Well this monster wants to eat YOU!" Sasha said with a sly smile as she tackled her friend sending them toppling to the ground. Sasha's massive girth engulfed Alex's small body and arms from the fat of Sasha's belly and love handles squishing out all over her.
"You are now mine, my prey..." Sasha sneered as she laughed on top of her friend.
"S...asha...you're heavy..."Alex groaned as she tried to wiggle out of Sasha's flab to no avail. She was pinned all the way around and there was no escaping from it. Unless....
"H..hey Sasha..." Alex groaned while starting to blush.
"We're not even anymore..." And with that statement Alex thrust her face forward right into Sasha's, locking lips with the so called 'monster'. This caused Sasha's eyes to shoot open as her friend kissed her with all her might. Sasha let out a muffled "mmmhhm!" and then rolled off of her trapped friend.
"HEY!" Sasha said wiping her mouth. "That's cheating! You can't do that!"
"Hey, I have to defend myself from the monster! And everyone knows they don't like kisses! And if I don't you'll just keep crushing me all the time."
Sasha blew some of her hair out of her face and let out a groan as she stood up. "Well if a kiss is the worse I get then it's worth teaching you a lesson!" Sasha huffed, pretending to be annoyed. Her belly wobbled as she finally gained her balance and she jumped back to her normal spot. There were still five burgers left on the platter that still had not been eaten yet. However she was still full, and the urge to keep eating rose from within her.
"Ya sure you're gonna finish all these?" Alex said breathing heavily while sitting next to her friend.
Sasha narrowed her eyes, "Did you learn nothing from all that?"
"Well you just look kinda full is all."
"Nope! Got plenty of room!" Sasha lied slapping her full gut. She then picked up two more burgers and stuffed them in her mouth. "Shee?" Sasha then gulped those two burgers down with the help of some more soda. She then felt the giant mound of burgers plop in her tummy, causing it to bulge out though her shirt slightly more. "Th....this...is nothing..." Sasha continued as she stuffed another burger into her mouth chewing it while her stomach puffed out even more. "I'm...still... starving..." Sasha grabbed two more burgers and mushed them into her maw and took a long time to chew and finally swallow them. She let out a noticeable groan as she swallowed them. "I...can...keep...huff...going..." Sasha mumbled as she placed the last burger in her mouth and tried her hardest to force it down.
After a loud gulp Sasha fell back against the couch in triumph. Her hand slapped towards her bulging belly as she huffed. She was definitely full now just as three chicken breasts and biscuits and fifteen mini-burgers would. The bloated girl breathed steadily as her belly wobbled with its massive meal inside it. Sasha let out a small moan as her fingers danced over the overfed surface as it bulged over her lap. This was certainly a good recovering meal from her lack of overeating from the past weeks.
"Well you want anything else?" Alex said gazing at Sasha's giant abdomen. "I've got mashed potatoes...your favorite..." she went on with a sly grin.
Mashed potatoes were Sasha's favorite food on earth. They were so fluffy and creamy that she just had to have more every time they were served. Even before her fat days she felt that she could endlessly eat them. They were just the most delicious food to ever grace the Earth!
"He...he...well I can't turn those down...ugh...I sure am craving them!" Sasha said causing her slightly formed double chin to wobble.
"Well you just stay put and let me handle it, hehehehe" Alex then rushed into the kitchen and started preparing the mashed potatoes she had purchased as well, leaving the stuffed blonde to attend to her midsection.
After a few minutes Alex strolled out of the kitchen with a giant bowl. As she placed the giant bowl on top of the old hamburger platter Sasha's eyes almost popped out of her head. In front of her was a sea of mashed potatoes in a giant bowl. They were the most creamy, buttery, and salty mashed potatoes Sasha had ever seen. Just the way Sasha loved them.
"Alex...you really are the best you know..." Sasha said laughing at her own joke heartily causing Alex to blush.
"T...thanks..." Alex said flattered from the comment.
Sasha groaned as she leaned forward causing her warm stuffed belly to squish against her thighs as she lifted the spoon of mashed potatoes into her face. Her taste buds shot fireworks from the fattening buttery delight inside her mouth. She quickly ate another bite, and another, and another. Even stuffed by those previous meals, the mashed potatoes seemed to be the catalyst that started another round of hunger as she quickly pounded away as much as she could.
However, all those fluffy mashed potatoes had to go somewhere, and that somewhere was straight into Sasha's bloating pot belly. With every bite Sasha let out a small whine from her belly being pushed farther and father out from the fluffy potatoes. She was also eating so fast that her belly could be seen to slowly move towards her knees. Her cries became more frequent and loud as she continued to pump a steady flow of mashed potatoes into her globular gut.
"Ugh...." Sasha moaned as she leaned back and held her stomach. Her belly let out a grumble as well from being stuffed to the max out of her gluttony. She wedged the bowl between her chubby thighs and belly as she continued to raise the spoon towards her face. Sasha had made a good dent in the mashed potatoes, finishing about three-fourths of the bowl, but she was so full already. Her belly was bulging against the bowl as she gulped down another bite. "Just...one...more..." Sasha moaned her motto as she lifted another spoonful towards her. Her stomach was so heavy at this point that she could barely sit up straight. Moaning, she scooped the rest of potatoes and shoved them into her bloated cheeks and swallowed as loudly as she could, causing her belly to groan in detest.
"Uh....huff...huff...huff...that...was....amazing...." Sasha uttered. As she held her ripened stomach she looked turned her head to see the other bag was still on the kitchen table. "Do you....ugh....still.. have....more?" Sasha moaned.
"Uh...yeah, but Sash look at you! I mean I'm all for wanting you to enjoy your meal but I think you're overdoing it don't you think?" Alex said worriedly as she gazed at her friend.
"N...non...nonsense..." Sasha mumbled as she let out a small hiccup. "I...gotta....have ...UGH!...dessert...." Sasha was in pain from her stuffing but she couldn't help wanting more. The few weeks of not stuffing herself was causing her to overdose on food now, since she hadn't had in what seemed to be forever for her.
"Sash...are you sure? You look pretty full as it is..."
"Pleeeasse...." Sasha whined with puppy dog eyes that were made only cuter by her chubby face.
"sigh....okay..." Alex walked back into the kitchen to pick up one of the bags. She gently picked up the bag and returned to Sasha. She sat next to her friend causing the couch to move slightly which made Sasha moan from the movement. Alex then pulled out a circular package from within it. Sasha peered over to see a delicious cherry pie. "I picked it up at the grocery store on my way back from the fast food place." Alex mumbled. "Now Sasha, you don't have to eat all of it..."
"Ugh...thank you so much Alex...I'm...really hungry!" Sasha said before Alex could finish as she used her spoon to squish it in the middle of the pie. "I...promise to eat only what I can..."
Sasha then began the slow process of eating the pie spoonful by spoonful. Her belly groaned loudly telling her to stop, that it was full and didn't know why she was still feeding it. However she couldn't help move delicious spoonfuls of sweet pie to her plumped cheeks. More and more of the pie soon vanished as she slowly devoured each bite, but swallowing every time was a task in and of itself. Her stomach had no room left for it and it took all her might to swallow toughly and force it into her over packed gut, making it stretch even more to contain it all.
Halfway through the pie she dropped the spoon into the pan, there was still half of it left but her ballooned belly was absolutely throbbing from all of its contents. Sasha didn't know what to do at this point, all she could do was clutch at her oversized beach ball she called a stomach and fuss about how full it was. It caused Alex to bite her lip out of distraught. She saw how Sasha was in pain about being stuffed but she also saw how she looked willingly at the pie that was left.
"Ca'mon Sash..." Alex said softly as she placed her hands on Sasha's giant stomach. She slowly rubbed it in small circles giving great relief to moaning girl. Sasha closed her eyes as she felt the relaxing massage on her stomach. Then it started again. She reached down and continued the pie once more. Alex could feel how packed her stomach was, it was so tight yet she kept chewing and swallowing. A few marks appeared around her stomach as she forced it outwards in her meal. And on top of that her stomach was just absolutely gigantic compared to the rest of her. Anyone else would have thought that she had swallowed a small yoga ball almost as it bulged out of the middle of her body.
"Oh...god..." Sasha moaned as she forced another bite into her mouth. "Almost....done..." With another giant moan and scoop of pie she forced what was left in her mouth, causing her cheeks to bulge out greatly as she attempted to chew. She chewed for a whole minute before attempting a huge swallow. She had done it. The pie was defeated. Although, the response to that last bite sent a huge surge of pain through her body as her stomach distended to its max. Sasha could only just moan and rub with her best friend as the four hands tried to calm the party inside it down.
"Here Sasha, lie down. I'll get some tablets." Alex said nicely, running off to get some stomachache medicine for her friend. Sasha could only mumble out a thanks before she laid back on the couch with her giant stomach towered over her. It gurgled and groaned from the pressure within it while Sasha just held onto in hopes of settling it down.
Sasha opened her eyes slowly, to view her giant gut. She held onto it and rubbed it, feeling slight feelings of pleasure finally coming from her stuffed state, and these were the best she had ever felt. Her belly wobbled dangerously as she moved. It was just a beautiful sight to Sasha. She wiggled her plumping cute toes as well, although there was no way on Earth she would see them for the rest of the night. Never before had she been so stuffed before. It was the greatest stuffing she had ever had, and all she could do was groan in absolute bliss over it.
Sasha's blues eyes darted away for just a second though, and that's all that was needed to catch a glimpse of Alex's bag that had had the pie in it. Her curiosity sparked in spite of her current condition, she lifted an arm out and felt inside. Her hands grasped an object and she removed it from the bag to see several cookies in a container.
She gasped at the sight. She was stuffed. No, overstuffed. She couldn't eat one more bite... she'd explode wouldn't she? Sasha now huffed a painful sigh. All these feelings of pain from being full, fused with the pleasure of being stuffed, and the addition of these cookies sent her mind racing, until it finally settled on a choice. With a loud crack she opened the container.
"Okay...where are the damn tablets..." Alex muttered to herself. Alex was searching through the medicine cabinet in Sasha's bathroom looking for something to ease her friends agony. She heard a loud groan all of a sudden from the girl on the couch who sounded as if she was in labor and sighed.
"Well, I didn't think she'd end up eating all that in one sitting...I mean I thought that we'd space it out more over the night." Finally Alex spotted the white containers and smiled as she snatched it out of the cabinet. "Gotcha you little bastards! Hiding from me! Well my friend's gonna have a fun time with you!" With that Alex headed back to the living room while hearing another giant moan.
"Sasha it's okay! I got the tablets!" Alex called out. "Haha, well I guess it's no wonder she's moaning so much she ate everything from the those bags I brought in... Well except for the cookies of course... OH CRAP!" Alex yelled as she turned the corner to see the cookie container dumped on the floor and absent of any cookies within it. She ran toward Sasha on the couch as fast as she could and looked at Sasha's face with surprise.
Sasha cheeks were puffed out as much as they could from the last four cookies shoved in her mouth at once. Alex could hear her muffled moans through her stuffed face as she attempted to chew all the sweets at once. She reached forward to remove some of the cookies, but she got a loud moan from Sasha in return. Alex returned her hand to her side and gazed at Sasha's enormous gut.
It was pulsating with every stunted breath that Sasha took from the sheer amount of mass that had been forced deep within it. It seemed angry almost, that the girl had treated it so poorly just to gain her own pleasure. Alex gave it a small poke and revived another loud moan from Sasha. It was no surprise though, as her stomach felt as hard as a rock. The layer of fat around her midsection provided only a small cushion over all her expanded stomach.
The thing that caught Alex off guard though were Sasha's eyes. They were crossed as she chewed on the cookies, along with a wide layer of blush forming in the middle of her face. The pain of being stuffed had finally been replaced with the pure pleasure of having a full belly. She moaned as she swallowed the cookies in her mouth. Stretching her stomach to the absolute maximum that it could stretch. With another loud gulp, and a terrifying moan, Sasha had finished the cookies along with everything else.
"This... UGH... is... UHHH... amazing..." Sasha managed to mumble through clenched teeth from the feeling she was feeling. She held her hands tenderly over her sides as she felt each breath force her flesh into her hands. This was the best feeling. She felt fat and bloated and she was loving every minute of it. She was a monster of a girl having that enormous over pumped beach ball as a gut.
"It is huh?" Alex said softy. "Okay, hold on." Alex got up and went into the bathroom once more and returned with the measuring tape from earlier. "Let's see what the damage is eh?"
Alex through the tape over Sasha and began to bring the two sides together, which was a challenge since Sasha was essentially pinned to the couch under the force of her midsection. Eventually Alex got the two sides together to read the number that was not blocked by the other end.
"WOAH! 51! Y...you're 51 inches around...."Alex said taken aback from the amount of inches Sasha managed to put onto her stomach on one eating period.
"Urp!... ugh...yeah I am..." Sasha tried to giggle but instead it just sent a wave of pain through her. She then returned to her previous stage of enjoying her over-swollen midsection. "I'm...gonna... explode..." Sasha moaned, but this time with an insane grin on her face.
She had really overdone it. All those weeks of eating normally had made the urge to overeat worse everyday until the urge was too much and she caved like today, and hard. Alex placed a hand on Sasha's stomach and it bulged dangerously against it, and she ever so delicately started to rub it. Sasha could only pant as her large stomach was being massaged in such a relaxing way.
After many minutes of belly rubbing and moaning, Sasha's stomach finally became stable enough that she didn't have to moan every few seconds. Sasha cradled her stomach and turned her head to Alex who was still rubbing her belly and smiled.
"Thank you Alex. For this whole thing. I really needed this to cheer me up. Thank you, you're the best friend ever."
Alex smiled softly. "You're welcome Sasha. You deserve it after what you went through with your parents. And it was fun watching you down everything too," Alex giggled cutely.
Sasha then let out a yawn, the food coma's inevitable force over her body slowly taken place. She felt even heavier than normal because of the extreme tiredness spell cast over her.
"Well, we can watch a movie. Although I'm not gonna make it another five minutes..." Sasha yawned out again.
"Sure Sash, I'd love to." Alex set up a DVD on the television and walked over to her still massively stuffed friend. "Uhh...."
"Haha, it's okay. Ca'mon squeeze in next to me." Sasha laughed.
"Okay, well if you don't mind." Alex walked behind the couch and hopped over it. Sasha turned on her side, well as much as she could, and Alex slipped behind Sasha on the sofa. Sasha then leaned back causing her gigantic gut to pin Alex to the back of the couch knocking the air out of both of them from the sudden impact of flab on toned stomach. Alex's skinnier frame was enveloped by Sasha's bigger plushy torso and Alex wiggled as much as she could to get comfortable.
"Gosh you're fat." Alex said with a grunt while giggling.
"Hey! I swear I'll go monster mode on you again!" Sasha replied followed by a burp. Alex laughed at her friend's joke and snuggled into a good position with Sasha's fat torso still pushed up against her. Before long Sasha had dozed off just like she said, leaving Alex to contend with Sasha's bloated form. She reached a hand over her and felt the extremely warm body and smiled as she snugged herself into Sasha's sweet shampoo scented hair.
Alex loved this relationship with Sasha. Sure it wasn't exactly what she may have hoped for, but as far as things went Sasha didn't mind her feelings and still showed that she cared for her. They were friends, best friends and nothing would ever change that. They'd be by each others sides, just like now, through thick and thin.

Alex is trying to kill her!!!I would rather respect my mom because being fat is not healthy!!!Although it is soft but is dangerous!!!
R.I.Fat Heaven Sasha;(
R.I.Fat Heaven Sasha;(
She is living under her mom's roof,doesn't that mean she needs to respect the rules?
Yes but that doesn't give her mother the right to abuse her. Encouraging someone to lose weight should be done in a supportive, not a demanding way.
She might be an adult,but she is still living under her mom's roof...
She wedged the bowl between her chubby thighs and belly as she continued to raise the spoon towards her face. Sasha had made a good dent in the mashed potatoes, finishing about three-fourths of the bowl, but she was so full already. Three fourths THREE FOURTHS THREE FOURTHS sorry I'm really annoyed that it's three fourths instead of three quarters
Haha, well I'm more of a mathmatical thinker so I say three fourths because its a fraction. I looked it up though and either version is proper so it just comes down to preference
fuck the mom if she wants to eat let her i mean she just gets a boyfriend and now she cant eat anything with him and now the so called ''lock'' on food what does she think she is a dog?, a hog?, a COW?!? she can eat if she wants to eat and the mom is basicly ruining her happieness i mean arent mothers supposed to make sure there kids are HAPPY? it makes me so sad that this kinda thing happens all the time in real life *sigh* i know this is just a story but its so good it gets me thinking like this
Gosh...If I ate, like, half of the burgers, I'd be on the floor, vomiting. Seems like ol Sasha surpasses...everyone.
Has she considered competitive eating?
Has she considered competitive eating?
Haha she does have quite the stomach! Although there were little burgers still :3
"They'd be by each others sides, just like now, through thick and thin." I don't think there's anything thin in her future...
"she wasn't allowed to go to any kind of restaurant that served food" As opposed to...?
I like the story
Nice story, I can't wait to read the rest! I love this story that you have made, please keep making them!!!!!!!
Interesting. Sasha is unquestionably on the fat side with her 45" belly. Alex, on the other hand is distinctly slender, if not actively underweight. 25" is a small waist unless you're a high-fashion model, and the average is lots bigger than that. A lot there depends on height, but...
As to Sasha's mom, subvert her. Let Sasha eat herself into somnolence and beyond. She reads as attractive in many ways.
The story's going well. Happy to see more as it comes. As to mistakes, we ALL make 'em. dA is kind. It lets us fix 'em.
Haha yeah I do like the contrast between the two XD
And she'll try, if she can at least xD
Thanks for the kind words!
Love this story!
I love this story...
Woahhhhh, Nelly! I simply cannot believe that Sasha went overboard like that!
Hope there's more to come, this is a really great, cute storyline :3

Additional Information
About Micro Start/AFDThis loan is administered by Micro Start/AFD, Kiva's first Field Partner in Burkina Faso. Micro Start/AFD's mission is to improve families' living conditions in general, and those of women in particular, by facilitating access to financial and non-financial services.
Micro Start/AFD is a professional microfinance institution offering financial services, advice, and training. One of the organization's principal aims is to collect obligatory and voluntary savings that foster clients' financial independence. Micro Start/AFD also focuses on building female entrepreneurs' skills in management and business administration and improving the living conditions in its clients' communities. More information can be found on Micro Start's Kiva Field Partner Page.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I love a nice Cognac cocktail in the winter! Here's a classic that you don't see around much that's worth a try. The Brandy Crusta is a 19th-century cocktail that was the predecessor to the Sidecar. Like many great cocktails, it originated in New Orleans, so Peychaud's is the perfect bitters for this concoction. Courtesy of Absolut Vodka.… Read more

A Pleasure Grove of Italian Renaissance Art
Parker, Deborah, The Virginia Quarterly Review
Encyclopedia of Italian Renaissance and Mannerist Art. Edited by Jane Turner. Two vols. MacMillan Reference Limited. $400.
Connoisseurs of one of the most glorious periods of Western culture can now avail themselves of an authoritative and comprehensive guide. These two volumes present in more accessible and affordable form material initially included in the Grove Library of World Art (European Art series), itself an offshoot of the award-winning 34-volume Dictionary of Art. The spin-off volumes, however, offer much to entice readers: revised and updated entries by the specialists who authored the original entries; rewritten biographies on many artists; re-edited articles on cities and towns in which the art of this period flourished; and increased illustrations, roughly 200 additional color illustrations alone. Together the two volumes contain 1722 entries and 1108 illustrations covering all the major artistic achievements in Italy from c. 1400 to c. 1600.
Readers will not be disappointed with the wealth of material covered. Entries on individual artists are logically arranged to include information on his or her life and works; working methods and techniques, writings (if any), character and personality, and critical reception and posthumous reception. An extensive bibliography on each artist follows; in the case of major figures such as Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, or Titian, helpful subject headings (i.e. Documentary and Bibliographical Sources; General; Specialist Studies; Monographs; and Catalogues; Drawings) within the bibliographies direct readers to areas of related scholarship. Cross-references within the entries direct readers to other relevant entries.
In addition to the entries on specific artists, the volume also contains entries on important patrons of art such as the Medici, Della Rovere, Este, and Gonzaga families, collectors and writers (e.g. Petrarch and Marsilio Ficino), as well as articles on art forms (e.g. cartoon, cassone), building types, Italian cities with important Renaissance traditions, decorative art forms, and specialized terms (e.g. disegno e colore, paragone). The editors and advisors have done an outstanding job in selecting specialists for the entries. To name but some of the experts who have contributed to the volumes: Robert Hughes and Caroline Elam co-authored the entry on Michelangelo; Charles Dempsey wrote the entry on Botticelli; Janet Cox-Rearick the ones on Bronzino and Pontormo; and Julian Kliemann the one on Vasari. All these scholars have written extensively on the figures whose achievements they have distilled. Richly informative, many of the entries are calculated either to inspire further reading within the encyclopedia or a desire to revisit the works themselves. …

Asia's coolest casinos
Though new on the gaming scene (its two casinos both opened in 2010), Singapore has embraced the title of South-East Asia's Sin City, and is set to take over from Las Vegas as the world's No 2 gambling hub this year.
Marina Bay Sands
As you'd expect from this US$8 billion (Rs44,340 crore), 2,561-room resort, you'll find some of Asia's most extravagant gaming facilities under its boat-shaped roof. The ritzy casino has 600 tables and 2,500 slot machines—all illuminated by a chandelier studded with 1.32 lakh Swarovski crystals. (www.marinabaysands.com)
Resorts World Sentosa
Asia's first Universal Studios theme park and the largest oceanarium in the world are just two attractions to keep you busy between wins at this 120-acre complex on scenic Sentosa island, where the casino alone has five restaurants, as well as regular art exhibitions and live acts. (www.rwsentosa.com)
If you like your casinos big and brash, the world's official No 1 gambling destination is the place to flutter your cash. Home to five of the 10 largest casinos on the planet, it raked in five times the gaming income of Las Vegas in 2011.
The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel
Boasting Playboy bunnies, Venetian gondoliers and its own Manchester United football school, this US$2.4 billion (Rs13,302 crore) resort has 3,750 slot machines and 800 gaming tables spread over 55 lakh sq ft. (www.venetianmacao.com)
Hotel Lisboa
Built back in 1970 by Stanley Ho, Hong Kong's 'King of gambling', Macau's most famous casino has since evolved into a mega-complex with nearly 1,000 rooms and a Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon restaurant in its glittering lotus-shaped extension, the Grand Lisboa. (www.hotellisboa.com)
The first fully-licensed on-land casino in India opened in Sikkim last year. With plans afoot to develop similar venues in Daman, the dice could finally be about to roll for Indian gamers.
Mayfair Spa Resort and Casino, Gangtok
This sprawling resort on the outskirts of the Sikkimese capital is now home to Casino Mahjong, India's first fully-licensed live gaming venue outside Goa. There are 18 card tables—including a separate room for poker—all manned by highly-trained Nepali croupiers. Just make sure you come early, as the tables fill up fast. (www.mayfairhotels.com)
Casino Royale Goa
James Bond fans will love the kitsch appeal of Goa's largest off-shore casino, moored on the banks of the Mandovi River near Panaji. With a heli-deck and VVIP gaming room, as well as a 24-hour poker room, 50 gaming tables and 30 slot machines, it's just the place for a dry martini and a game of roulette. (www.casinoroyalegoa.com)

I got my girlfriend a Citizen Tokyo off Craigslist a while ago to get her into biking. So far she's loving it; we've been on short jaunts in Philadelphia and New York City, and spent all of Labor Day weekend touring around Montreal. The only thing is that she's already spinning out just to keep up with us 700c or 27" folk on the flats. I'm upgrading the tires to Kenda high-PSI 16" tires which should help out a bit, but ultimately she needs better gearing.
Does anyone know where to find a 6-sp freewheel with 11T in the highest gear? I haven't had much luck with google and ebay.
I found other threads here where the Tokyo was upgraded to a 7-sp and the chainrings were swapped out to alleviate the gearing issue, but since this is a once-in-a-while bike I'd rather keep the hassle to a minimum and simply swap out the freewheel.
