Desert Isle Keeper Review
Lover Revealed
J.R. Ward
2007, Vampire Romance
Onyx, $7.99, 455 pages, Amazon ASIN 0451412354Part of a series
When I pick up a Black Dagger Brotherhood book, I know that within minutes I will be completely immersed in a gripping tale that leaves me not caring a bit if Im reading about a male-dominated world where tormented vampire warriors have ridiculous names, use extreme slang, and that their leather-clad bodies are tattooed and pierced. To me, its an entirely different world that I dont attempt to liken to present day, but one that makes me regret each time I must leave it.
The Brothers are a group of extreme warrior vampires trained to protect civilian vampires from the lessers, a group of creatures whose sole purpose is to end the vampire race. Since vampires must be born into the ranks of the Brotherhood, there are few members and their society is a closed one. This is the story of tough ex-cop Butch ONeal who, although human, is accepted into the fringes of the Brotherhood and, therefore, presents the greatest dilemma of this series to date why does this highly secretive society so readily embrace Butch?
Butch is a hard-edged, smart talking, streetwise ex-cop who, through a bizarre series of events, fell in with the Brotherhood six months earlier. He now lives in their compound, dresses in their clothes, eats their food, drives their cars, and drinks their Scotch. To Butch it feels more than right to live with the Brothers but, in a sense, he is still where he has always been - on the outside looking in. Unable to return to the human world and unable to fight by the Brothers side despite his brute strength, Butch is little more than a glorified chauffeur. And, more depressing, theres Marissa, the beautiful aristocratic vampire who consumes his thoughts and refuses to have anything to do with him.
Since the Blind King rejected her as a mate (Dark Lover), the glymera (aristocracy) has taken great care to avoid Marissa. She is the unwanted forsaken female, the defective spinster virgin, and the one left utterly behind with no hope of a mate. Marissa feels condemned to live a life alone caged in her beautiful, lavish nightmare. For a short while just a few months ago though, she had reason to hope for much more, but Butch spurned her as well.
While attempting to save the life of a civilian vampire alone one night, Butch is captured by the lessers and left for dead after being forced to endure indescribable torture. Vischous (aka V), Butchs roommate and the Brother who has foreseen his importance to the Brotherhood, rescues Butch and realizes that something far more serious than torture has occurred. Contemplating how close to death Butch truly is, V knows Marissa may be the answer. Once notified of Butchs grave condition, she rushes to his bedside and lovingly nurses him to recovery. However, upon regaining consciousness, Butch is furious to find Marissa in his presence because he knows she has been exposed to the unknown contaminate now within him.
Initially Marissa and Butchs relationship rests heavily in the realm of the Big Misunderstanding. Once resolved, Butchs actions towards Marissa are nothing short of adoring tenderness, while Marissa is unable to express herself so easily. In all fairness, Marissa is undergoing some big changes in her life and if you thought Marissas character too weak for a heroines role, think again. She drops her pitiful, helpless attitude and looks only to herself for strength to the point where I could hear the strains of I Am Woman playing loudly in the background. Exercising her newfound independence, Marissa does so occasionally at the cost of Butchs feelings. He makes the mistake of trying to protect her one too many times and she retorts Youre protecting me? Christ, I could lift you over my head with one arm, Butch. Theres nothing you can do physically that I cant do better. So dont do me any favors. Okay, I guess I didnt recall that female vampires are stronger than even men of Butchs conditioning and size and admit she does have a valid point, but, man, thats low! Still, even if the ride is sometimes rough, the romance is intense and immensely rewarding in the end.
Equally important is the deep friendship between Butch and V. There is such loyalty, trust, and devotion between these friends that at times I felt a little uncomfortable with its intensity, but their relationship works into a powerful revelation later in the book. This series' signature, in my mind, is the moving relationships between the Brothers, as evidenced most recently by the stirring bond between Zsadist and Phury in Lover Awakened, my favorite in this series.
The evolution and purpose of Butchs character was full of surprises and there was no guessing this ending. As for the other characters, John gets an attitude, Rhage and Phurys appearances are non-eventful, Wraths presence is engaging, while Zsadist oh Z, my favorite - puts in some good time as the recruits' teacher and also has an endearing scene with Bella. And its sworn-worthy Rehvenge whose story I now most anticipate, although V, who holds great interest for me as well, is slated next in the series.
Although Lover Revealed can stand on its own to a limited degree, it is my strong recommendation that you read this series in order. The world-building and the development of the relationships are not to be missed and, as a stand alone, I doubt I would have graded this book higher than a B-. I struggled with the sensuality rating because it runs on the harder side of Hot, but didnt think it quite reached Burning. And in regard to the A- grade, it was my slight aggravation with Marissa that kept this from that perfect A.
I view this series as a continuing family saga and, therefore, feel I am reviewing far more than Butch and Marissas romance. But even with the definite to be continued nature of the series, this books ending was purely quality romance, without an obvious cliffhanger to mar its effectiveness. Oh, but dont let me forget the teasers I haven't mentioned - they will leave readers speculating for months and, somehow, that is just the way it should be.
LLB: I was uninitiated into this series when I read Lover Revealed. Though less enthusiastic about it than Lea (my grade is a straight B), it's easy to see why Ward's series is so addictive. I plan to catch up on the earlier books as soon as I can fit them in. I felt the sensuality was actually more Burning than Hot, but Lea's points are well taken.

Impossible Trinity
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 09:32, 3 December 2012 by MickeyHikaruMouse (talk | contribs)
Impossible Trinity is a PlayStation 3 trophy, and an Xbox 360 and PC achievement awarded to the player after completion of mission Museum Piece in Grand Theft Auto IV.
The achievement/trophy is named as such because during this mission all three main characters from the main game and the 2 downloadable episodes (Niko Bellic of Grand Theft Auto IV, Johnny Klebitz of The Lost and Damned, and Luis Lopez of The Ballad of Gay Tony, respectively) are brought together at the same place and time in an amazing coincidence.
The Impossible Trinity achievement/trophy is absent in The Lost and Damned, but returns in the Ballad of Gay Tony with a different name: "Diamonds Forever".
- The "Diamonds Forever" achievement/trophy is an obvious reference to the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.

5 Eye-Catching Patio Pieces
From Engineering on September 03, 2009 in Decks and Patios
Attractive contemporary furniture to spiff up your patio
#1 From Allegro Classics collection, the Islands Sofa blends beautifully with swimming pools, hot tubs and refinished decks. Its contours are soft and natural, making room for different seating positions. And the backs are removable! Turn them into benches or sun beds. Built from tough aluminum and covered with an all-weather wicker, this patio furniture wont need replacing anytime soon. Fabric colors come in wheat linen, sunflower, Asian sesame, mojito coffee bean, dupione papaya, dolce mango, cork, champagne linen, and 32 other colors. Yes, theyve got more flavors than Baskin Robbins. Finding a color to match your patio wont be an issue.
#2 - These lustrous, icy-chic Mezzo outdoor lounge chairs are also from the Allegro Classics collection. The bold, rich colors will dazzle any patio guests. Theyre crafted from aluminum tubing and all-weather wicker. The wicker is available in sand and ebony. Color choices include: teal, canvas, Aruba, parrot, ruby, jockey red, dash charcoal, and 29 others.
#3 - Made in Italy, a unique mixture of fancy and chic makes these Varaschin sofas and armchairs stand out in any patio environment. Like the good old-fashioned Adirondack chair, they feature low seating and high backrests, but with the sleek styling that Italian designers consistently produce. The frames are made with powder-coated aluminum finished in a glossy black and hand-woven synthetic fiber. Cushions come with removable covers.
#4 - Contemporary modular seating is a definite showstopper. With no visual square joints in the frame, your eye wanders soothingly over the calming curves. Created by Bonacina Pierantonio, this design is silky smooth.
#5 - Now, this is intriguing. The Tambo Sofa, Fabiano Trabucchis stainless-steel creation, doesnt appear to give much back support. But dont worry; the back is adjustable for different heights. Available in black, white or honey finish and removable polyethylene foam cushions, the Tambo Sofa collection is perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

TCC Stage Production Adopts Multi-Media Presentation
Theatrical comedy meets reality TV in the upcoming production of "Dearly Departed," an innovative multi-media experience coming your way from the Tulsa Community College Theatre Department.
"This specific type of performance has not been done by TCC's Theatre Department where we integrate a live feed from a camera used by one of the actors and project onto two screens," said Lisa Stefanic, TCC adjunct professor and play director. "It will be as if someone is filming what is happening on stage for a reality TV show. The person behind the camera, while not an original character in the play, becomes a quiet member of the show's cast."
This dark Southern family comedy, written by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, will be a multi-media experience using live-streamed video on screens to tell a story that has been likened to the "bucolic mayhem of 'Greater Tuna.'" Stefanic added, "This is a new approach to a funny play."
"Dearly Departed" is the rollicking, but barbed wire-sharp story of the dysfunctional Turpin family -- a typical contemporary clan who gathers after their father's passing to plan the funeral. Of course, the characters arrive with their own unique issues, personal agendas and self-serving perspectives. Dying is seldom convenient, but in the Turpin family, it can be hilarious.
The play pokes fun at families even as it celebrates their unbreakable ties, and holds a mirror up firmly for the audience to experience some universal truths – and to remember just how crazy their own family can be.
The cast for "Dearly Departed" includes Melissa Harris as Raynell; Josh Arbaugh as Royce; Nancy Chambers as Marguerite; Abigail McVickers as Lucille; David Moreland as Ray-Bud; Bailey Workman as Suzanne; David Watson as Junior; Jim North as Reverend Hooker and Bud; Anna Crowley as Delightful and Nadine; Celeste Arras as Veda and Juanita; and Justin Hendrix as Clyde and Norval. Amber Trotter is the production stage manager.
The performances are 8 p.m., Feb. 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 and 2 p.m., Feb. 16 and 23 at the Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education (PACE) Studio Theatre. For ticket information call 918-595-7777 or www.myticketoffice.com.

Caruso Replacement Rollers
I have had my Caruso hairsetter for over 15 years now. The original rollers lasted over 10 years before having to be replaced. I bought the replacement rollers last year and they are already falling apart. They use to offer just the sponges but now you have to buy the whole roller. Quality is not the best, evidently, as they dont last that long. But I love the steam and what it does for my hair - I am hooked. Please see what you can do to perfecting a better quality sponge roller!!!!

I was very happy with the ease of buying online and getting the product so quickly...I was alittle disappointed with the actual roller, it is quite spongy now instead of the more cushion type I had when I first purchase my set many many years ago....just takes alittle getting use to, but thanks again...

Best Value, Great Product.
This is a great value for this product. Folica has done a great job keeping the price to an affordable value. The product is of the highest quality and am referring to all friends that love a soft curl without all the headaches.

I have used the Caruso system for many years. I find it does the best job for my hair; however, the curlers do tend to wear out and when purchased in a hairstyle store, they are of a different quality and the curlers fall out. The appearance of the ones that are offered online seem to be the same ones I just purchased last week. The original curlers were the best type.

Caruso Sponge Curlers
I have searched beauty stores high and low for these curlers.I thought since i bought the set so long ago maybe they didnt make the curlers anymore. I was sad cause I have hard to curl hair and other than sleeping in sponge curlers this is the only product that worked and kept the curl.I am so glad that you offer the curlers online!

This Is The Best
My hair is straight as a board and will not hold a curl except with a steam setter. Ive had my Caruso set 4 years and have never had a problem. My hair is also very fine and easily damaged. I NEVER have to worry about damage with these rollers. It actually improves my hair.

This system is wonderful, it is gentil to your hair. The steam infuses moisture, softness, and the curl into the hair, thus the set really lasts!My wifes hair is hard to curl, this system not only gives it great curl for the first day but up to three days later.I have one of the original systems and have bought more rollers in the sizes used most.I will be buying a newer system soon.

The Caruso Curl product is excellent as far as getting the curl that I want. The problem is the rollers do not last and have to be continually ordered. They actually started to come apart in my hair. You have an excellent product, just work on the life span of the actual rollers. The textures have changed over the years. Please keep working towards a better one.

Theres still no hairsetter on the market that matches steam setting. Rollers are lightweight & comfortable, & theyre ready so fast. Saw the infomercial many years ago when Caruso introduced this new techology. Pure genius.

McGarrett, Danno, Chin Ho, and Kono are back in the updated version from the classic crime drama TV series set on the island of Oahu.
Aloha...In September 2010 an updated version of "Hawaii Five-0" premiered on CBS. It's a nod to the classic TV series of the same name that originally aired for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980. "Hawaii Five-0" reboot is another name referring to the remake series. Remarkably it follows closely to the original formula with an opening crime taking place, and Five-0 then takes charge.
The four main characters: Steve McGarrett, Danny "Danno" Williams, Kono Kalakaua, and Chin Ho Kelly are the same, except the character of Kono is now a female. The iconic theme song is still the same with its beginning montage on the famous sites of Honolulu. Even though the current show honors its predecessor it does adhere to 21st century crimes and technologies. It's much more fast-paced in the storylines. The team now dresses a lot more casually and appropriately than the original cast. Each series have many similarities and differences.
Dedicated to avid fans of both shows paying homage for "Hawaii Five-0's" triumphant four season run, and its upcoming fifth season in September, here are 10 choices of the very best episodes. Season 4 has been the best season ever with a number of four highlighted episodes, followed by Season 3 at three, Season 2 at two and Season 1 with one. Each episode title is listed in Hawaiian, followed with an English translation in quotation marks. There are two episodes with only English titles as they honor the original series format...Mahalo.
"Pilot" (Season 1)
This is the first episode with its title in English like with the original series. We are introduced to Steve McGarrett who is a Navy SEALs Lieutenant Commander. He gets a phone call his father has been kidnapped and later killed. Upon returning to Hawaii, the Hawaiian Governor wants him to head up a special task force that reports only to the Governor and has complete immunity. McGarrett recruits key people in his life that have strong connections to his father, Jack McGarrett (a nod to Jack Lord, the original actor who portrayed Steve McGarrett). Throughout the seasons his father's untimely death leaves many clues for his son to follow.
"Lekio" (Season 2)
"Radio" features James Caan guest staring as Tony Archer, an ex-NYPD bomb technician, who lives in a rundown houseboat. A popular and controversial talk radio DJ is killed by a bomb. Evidence eventually leads to Archer who then helps McGarrett and Williams (played by Scott Caan who is the real-life son of James Caan). This is the beginning of the McGarrett/Danno carguments. In a number of episodes, before and after, they oftentimes argue during their drives over police procedure, relationships, driving habits, and other personal issues. Tony Archer stated they sound like an old married couple. This has led to their bromance.
"Ua Hala" (Season 2)
"Death in the Family" is Season 2's finale with Chin Ho having to make a life or death decision between his new wife, Malia or his cousin and Five-0 teammate Kono a la "Sophie's Choice." The final minutes will have you on edge and fraught with emotion. This is one of the most powerful endings of any finale on "Hawaii Five-0."
"La O Na Makuahine" (Season 3)
"Mother's Day" is the premiere episode featuring a state-of-the-art escape only seen in feature films of Wo Fat as a prisoner en route to the airport. This prisoner or nemesis has dogged and will continue to hound the task force till the bitter end of time. Wo Fat was the nemesis in all 12 seasons of the classic franchise, and of all four seasons currently. Without Wo Fat there is no "Hawaii Five-0." This is also one of the saddest Five-0 episodes. One thing about both series that has stayed true is McGarrett, Chin Ho, Danno, and Kono have not been fortunate with lasting relationships. It has always ended in heartbreak, sometimes tragically.
"Akanahe"/"O ka Pili'Ohana ka 'Oi" (Season 4)
"Reluctant Partner"/"Family Comes First" introduces viewers to a teenage computer hacker that literally trips up the task force. The first of two episodes with Nick Jonas guest starring in and later reprises his role in the Season 4 finale. When I first heard Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers fame was a guest star I was not exactly thrilled. In his first appearance he literally impressed me as the evil terrorist threatening to blow up a plane full of passengers.
Jonas is equally as despicable in the Season 4 finale. His character gets his comeuppance from a likely nemesis (Wo Fat), since they both want the same thing. Season 4's finale will be remembered for Wo Fat's unbelievable escape out of a super maximum prison on the mainland, the three-wheeler car chase with Steve and Danny, and Lou Grover being invited to join Five-0.
"Makani 'Olu a Holo Mãlie" (Season 4)
"Fair Winds and Following Seas" is the farewell episode to the former Naval intelligence officer and Steve McGarrett's love interest, Catherine Rollins. The actress who portrayed Rollins, Michelle Borth, has been a recurring character since Season 1 and a fan favorite. She became a regular part of the series and a member of the task force starting in Season 3. This was her starring episode. Rollins is asked to rescue the boy of a family in Afghanistan who saved her life when she was there in 2007. Steve McGarrett goes with her back to Afghanistan on this dangerous mission. Steve is captured and rescued in the nick of time. Catherine stays behind to search for the boy who was kidnapped and still missing.
"Hookman" (Season 3)
Originally this was an episode from the classic "Hawaii Five-0" that was updated for the reboot series. In this version Steve's father, Jack McGarrett, was one of the police officers called in on a bank robbery many years ago. The bomb went off too early blowing off the bank robber's hands in the process. Now he's seeking revenge on the officers involved. The title refers to the prosthetic hands that look like hooks. In a fantasy sequence we see Jack being reunited with his son Steve telling him what a good job he did. "Hawaii Five-0's official site at CBS.com had the original episode available for viewers to look at.
"Hauʻoli La HoʻomaikaʻI" (Season 4)
"Happy Thanksgiving" guest stars the legendary Carol Burnett as Steve's Aunt Deb. She has an ulterior motive for her visit. Her character doesn't have much longer to live due to an inoperable tumor. She tries to get medicinal marijuana on the street, and is arrested by a narcotics officer. This is where she reveals to her nephew the true purpose of coming to Hawaii. Carol sings a wonderful song during a poignant Thanksgiving gathering at a restaurant.
"I Ka Wa Mamua" - (Season 3)
"In a Time Past" is one of my three personal favorite episodes in all seasons (the other being the one starring Carol Burnett). This episode is solely devoted to Danny Williams' backstory as a cop in New Jersey. Instead of the standard opening sequences of beautiful Hawaiian landscapes and sparkling beaches we see the industrial views of Jersey. It is quite a startling contrast. Danny relates to his fellow Five-0 mates a story of a drug bust taking place when he previously learned his wife is pregnant. On a day that should have been happy, turned out to be dangerously violent and extremely tragic. His partner named Grace is badly wounded. While stepping outside to seek assistance, there is smoke coming out of some tall skyscrapers in nearby Manhattan. It is September 11, 2001.
"Ho'onani Makuakane" (Season 4)
"Honor Thy Father" is first and foremost a memorial tribute to that infamous day at Pearl Harbor in 1941. TV critics, fans and viewers unanimously agreed it is the best episode "Hawaii Five-0" has ever done, and my top favorite episode as well. The opening sequence shows serviceman in a mess hall having breakfast when all of a sudden an explosion occurs and chaos ensues. Then it fades into present day aboard the USS Missouri for a Pearl Harbor Day ceremony.
A Japanese-American wants justice for his father's murder while at a Japanese internment camp outside Honolulu. He relates what Hawaii was like for Japanese-Americans before Pearl Harbor. Everyone got along beautifully. Everything changed on that day at Pearl Harbor. It's a stark and realistic view of what it was like at internment camps. "Honor Thy Father" is one of the most unforgettable episodes in television history and should be honored with Emmy nominations.

It has been revealed by showrunner Ryan Murphy that season 4 of the FX anthology drama American Horror Story will be named Freak Show.
Murphy confirmed the news via Twitter Monday, March 24, revealing a picture of the title for the series fourth season, which said,
AMERICAN HORROR STORY SEASON FOUR: pic.twitter.com/6OHYzGjPMd
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) March 24, 2014
The announcement comes days after writer and co-executive producer Douglas Petrie confirmed during the Nerdist Writers Panel podcast that the popular drama series will focus on a spooky carnival theme.
Murphy previously stated that the fourth season will take place in the 1950s with Jessica Lange on board for her fourth and final run. Murphy also said that Lange will have a German accent, leading fans and critics to narrow down themes surrounding that period.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Freak Show will indeed take place in 1950s Jupiter, Florida. Lange will be playing a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S.
Previous AHS regulars set to return include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy. Denise O'Hare and Emma Roberts are in talks to return.
The American Horror Story cast and showrunners are expected to show for the March 28th panel at PaleyFest.
Freak Show is expected to debut in October on FX.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Nneka Ogwumike had 24 points and seven rebounds and the Los Angeles Sparks used a big third quarter to rout the Connecticut Sun 90-64 on Sunday.
Jantel Lavender had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Sparks (9-11) and Candace Parker added 15 points and nine rebounds. They outscored the Sun 30-10 in the third quarter.
Rookie Chiney Ogwumike had 18 points and six rebounds and Alex Bentley had 10 points, five assists and four rebounds for the Sun (9-13), who have lost seven of their past eight.
The Sparks led by four points early in the second half when Nneka Ogwumike made two free throws, followed by a running jumper.
Alana Beard, Ogwumike and Lavender each added a jumper to give Los Angeles its first double-digit lead at 54-42.
"All along I felt like if we played harder, we wouldn't have been in so many of those close games," Sparks' coach Carol Ross said. "We need to be able to finish out no matter what the score is.
"Today I was very pleased with our intensity coming out of the locker room at the half. I thought our third quarter is where we really imposed our will and played strong."
Armintie Herrington's 18-foot jumper gave Los Angeles its biggest lead at 84-53 with over four minutes left in the game.
"They're a bad matchup for anybody in the league," Sun coach Anne Donovan said. "When they put Lavender into the starting lineup (at center) and put Parker permanently at the three, it's a nightmare."
It was the second straight win for the Sparks, and just the second time they've won back-to-back games in what has been a frustrating season.
"I think the biggest thing has just been the chemistry," Lavender said. "It's been two weeks now that we've had our full squad, so I think we're just kind of getting our chemistry late, but we're playing hard every game. So we know it's about playing with energy and effort with the pieces we have."
Bentley made two free throws less than a minute into the game to give Connecticut a 2-0 lead. It was its only lead of the game.
"We will talk to the (coaching) staff and we'll try to figure out if maybe mixing things up from a personal standpoint will help," Donovan said. "As a staff, we have to recognize what's going on out there and if changes may or may not help us.
"It's not foreboding. Don't read anything into it. It's the product of a game where we had a really horrible third quarter and we have to make sure we're doing everything as a staff to ensure it doesn't happen again."

Barnyard Monster Mash (29 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My son's Barnyard Monster Mash was so much fun for us! Not only did we use the best local venue around, Foster's Produce and Corn Maze but the weather held out and so many of our friends and family trekked through the mud and chilly temperatures to come celebrate Halloween with us. Even my hubby for involved by painting the cutest monster for the monster bag toss. Following the food, desserts, and games, all the kids got to feed the animals carrots and watch the magic goat, Black Jack, do his carrot tricks. Once the animals were full, everyone hopped on the tractor and trailer for a ride to the pumpkin patch to choose their favorite pumpkin to take home.
The dessert table included a backdrop of monsters sewn on in all different prints of fabric. Some of the desserts I made included a small orange cake, lots of cupcakes, scary rice krispie monsters, zombie cake pops, brownie boo bites, and lots more! Everyone got a baggie of Barnyard Monster Mix (homeade caramel corn by none other than my mom) to take home also. There definitely is never a lack of sugar at any party we do! Sorry, parents.....
We played a few games including Pin The Eyes On The Monster, Monster Bag Toss, and the Icky Feeling Game (curtain from Pottery Barn), and a Scavenger Hunt (cards from Joann Fabrics).

How do I know when I am ovulating?
Michael Urig, MD, is the Associate Chair and Associate Director of the OB/GYN residency program at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.
Question: How do I know when I am ovulating?
Answer: Most women under age 50 have regular periods, but they may not clearly understand their menstrual cycles and the effect on their fertility. The timing of a woman's period directly influences when she is mostly likely to become pregnant, and being aware of her cycle can help a woman predict her fertility.
A normal menstrual cycle is usually 26 to 32 days long, and the first day of menstrual flow is considered the first day of the cycle. A woman's ovaries release an egg to be fertilized, which is called ovulation, around cycle day 14. As a result, a woman has the best chance of getting pregnant between days 12 and 16 of her cycle.
Though some women may not know if they've ovulated, many do experience a watery vaginal discharge around the time of ovulation. Also, abdominal bloating and breast tenderness may occur after ovulation. A woman with a regular menstrual cycle can look for these signs as indications that an egg has been released.
An ovulation detection kit, available at most drugstores, can be helpful in predicting the approximate date of ovulation for women wanting to conceive. A woman tests her urine between cycle days 11 and 16. The test will look for LH, or luteinizing hormone, which increases just before ovulation. If the test is positive for LH, she can expect an egg to be released in the next 12 to 36 hours. To maximize the chances of getting pregnant, a woman and her partner should have intercourse the next two days in a row after a positive ovulation test.

Los Angeles - The fourth-ranked UCLA men's water polo team routed third-ranked UC San Diego, 12-3, on Sunday afternoon at USC's McDonald's Swim Stadium to capture third place in the SoCal Tournament. Junior Marco Santos tied his career high, recording a season-best four goals.
Nine days since falling to the Tritons on the road, 13-12, the Bruins regrouped with a commanding victory in the SoCal Tournament's third-place game. UCLA (9-3) scored the game's first five goals and never looked back. The Bruins used a 5-0 run to open the game, followed by a 6-0 run after the Tritons scored their first goal. With 48 seconds remaining in the third quarter, UCLA's lead swelled to 10, the largest of the game.
Santos' four-goal performance began with UCLA's first goal at 6:07 in the first quarter. Following goals by freshman Kevin Kuga (1:51) and junior Justin Johnson (1:03), Santos scored the first two goals of the second period to give the Bruins a 5-0 lead.
Senior Ty Lackey put UC San Diego (17-4) on the board with a goal at 1:38 in the second frame. Johnson scored his second goal with 29 seconds remaining in the half, handing UCLA a 6-1 halftime lead.
In the third quarter, senior Brad Greiner opened the scoring (at 5:27) before Santos added his fourth goal (3:37). Freshman Scott Davidson added two goals and Grant Zider registered one in the quarter. UCLA and UC San Diego each scored once in the fourth quarter.
Freshman goalkeeper Chay Lapin posted 10 saves for the Bruins, one day after he registered a career-high 13 stops against fifth-ranked Stanford. In three games over the weekend, Lapin recorded 26 saves.
UC San Diego's Jeremy Randall made five stops in the cage.
The Bruins return to McDonald's Swim Stadium to face USC on Saturday, Oct. 21. The UCLA-USC game, slated for 12 p.m., marks the second meeting of the season between both teams.

Fewer things are more gratifying than an indulgent, carefree splurge on expensive beauty products. Whether it's the exhilaration from shopping, the anticipation of opening, or finally using the merchandise, there is much to be said for the rituals of beautifying.
While it's important to feel pampered, however, cutting expenses tops everyone's list of priorities. When it comes to shopping for favorite luxe-brand cosmetics and beauty products, exercising frugality is perhaps not the easiest. The average spend on high-end products can easily be several hundred dollars and regular salon visits also add up.
From home shopping—once considered taboo for any cosmetics company—to the local drugstore, the following suggestions will not only help you to look and feel beautiful, they have each been developed by and for professionals and deliver incredible results at a fantastic price.
Enriched with PhytoPlex24, plant extracts, vitamins, and anti-oxidants synergistically working with advanced Plant Stem Cell technology, Eclos Beauty has created a minimal yet highly effective line of extremely affordable skincare products. Eclos' researchers discovered that Plant Stem Cells extracted from a rare Swiss apple encourage aging skin cells to behave more like—and look like—younger skin. One hundred percent of women tested saw a visible reduction in the appearance of wrinkles within two weeks. While the advanced technology and products that are free of parabens, fragrances, sulfates, and petro-chemicals, may make one think up-market, Eclos' highest ticket items are $24.99 and its US launch has targeted extremely accessible neighborhood retail outlets. Check the Eclos Beauty site for locations.
Launched over 12 years ago, beauty icon Lauren Hutton premiered her signature product line on HSN and has since maintained legions of loyal fans. Over four decades in front of the camera provided Hutton with a keen understanding of the limitations of traditional, seasonal, trend-based makeup products. This insider's perspective helped her to create some outstanding formulations. Hutton's product line consists of timeless, classic color cosmetics, tools, and skincare. And Hutton's is the first color cosmetics line to successfully focus on the importance of teaching women how to correctly use the products. With cleverly detailed and illustrated diagrams, convenient packaging that travels well, color-coded, clearly labeled brushes, and some of the best textures and ingredients seen in any commercial line, Hutton's products make for a user-friendly and very affordable investment.
Humble, corner beauty supply shops are often a great resource for obscure, little-known cosmetics that are as good as they are affordable. KleanColor fits that bill and delivers highly pigmented, vibrant eye shadows, blush and lip color, and liners, at astonishing prices. From thoroughly neutral, wearable color to the most vibrant multicolored palettes and everything else in between (hello, false lashes), there is something to suit everyone's needs and budgets.
L'Oreal has always been a leader in innovative, professional, and affordable products that deliver maximum results. Voluminous Mascara, a major bargain well under $10, gets our top reviews as one of the best mascara formulas ever created. More recently, a collaboration with makeup artist James Kiliardos and supermodel Linda Evangelista saw the launch of L'Oreal's Studio Secrets Professional line. Two vastly experienced perspectives from the worlds of beauty and fashion merged to create simple, highly effective additions to the vast range of L'Oreal products that work your face, not your wallet. The Magic Perfecting Base and Color Correcting Primers get top marks and are practical and easy to use. Check L'Oreal's site for a complete line of products.
A spinoff of direct-sales cosmetics kings Avon, mark. has certainly carved a niche in a highly competitive market with a complete line of color cosmetics, skincare, hair styling products, and fragrance. Mark.'s cleverness, convenience, and great formulations are right on target with current beauty trends. Good Riddance Hook Up concealer pencils and Get Bright Hook Up Highlighters get top, umm, marks, as do the Just Pinched Instant Blush sticks. Check out the mark. site for other products as well as great tips from top industry experts.
Its no secret that professional styling tools are pricey and cheaper alternatives simply don't provide optimal results. Trips to the salon for a straightening aren't always within budget either. Pro Beauty Tools' 1″ ceramic straightening iron not only delivers the most professional results, it has all the features of a higher priced professional iron at a fraction of the cost. Smooth, sleek, shiny hair is instantly achieved and the rounded plate allows you to create a curling iron's bends and curls. This tool is a must!

Lin deserves most improved player... so does a few other players but what Lin has done is spectacular.
Lin deserves most improved player... so does a few other players but what Lin has done is spectacular.
No disrespect to Monroe, i love his game but Lin's on a playoff team and hes the only reason why we're a playoff team. If it wasnt for those 8 wins during Linsanity, we'd be at least a few games behind the Bucks. Hes been a big part of this 4 game LINning streak as well
Lin has to get it this year no player has had a complete 180 turn around in play like he's had in one year.
Yeah I don't think its even a contest this year as long as Lin keeps putting up averages of like 16/7 with less TO's he's a lock.
And he deserves it for sure, it's the biggest improvement I've ever seen in 18 years of watching the NBA.
It's going to be a race between Lin, Monroe, and Ryan Anderson.
Don't think Lin should win. It's not like he played like a scrub for 5 years then all of a sudden play like this. I think he is a good player last year as well, just not given a chance. If you look at it like this, he is not the most improved player.
Uh, Lin most certainly did improve his game. He worked on his shooting, amongst other things.

A consortium of seven school districts led by Vancouver Public Schools has been named as a finalist for up to $40 million in federal funds.
The U.S. Department of Education announced on Monday that the consortium is one of 61 finalists in the Race to the Top-District program, which plans to distribute about $400 million in grants to help districts personalize education for students and provide educators with tools to help meet students' needs.
"The consortium is seeking the maximum award of $40 million shared among the seven districts," said Kris Sork, communications director for Vancouver Public Schools.
Sork added that the grant would be used "to create the blended learning model," providing for digital tools such as tablets or laptops; digital content such as interactive lessons, activities or resources; and professional development for educators to focus on technology integration, the use of student learning data and project-based learning.
If the district receives the grant, planning for implementation would begin in January.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- University of Oregon running back Kenjon Barner was named National Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and Pac-12 Player of the Week (offense), following his record-setting day against USC.
Barner, a senior from Riverside, Calif., rushed for a school-record 321 yards on 38 carries (8.4 average) and five touchdowns as the second-ranked Ducks defeated No. 18 USC, 62-51. His five rushing touchdowns, which came on runs of 27, 5, 9. 5 and 22 yards, tied the Pac-12 single-game record. Additionally, his 321 rushing yards represent the fourth-highest single-game total in conference history and are the most ever allowed by USC.
Barner has rushed for 100 yards or more in five straight games. He leads the Pac-12 and ranks second in the FBS in rushing (143.89 ypg), and his 13.33 scoring average is tied for the national lead.
The Pac-12 weekly honor was the third of Barner's career. Oregon's third all-time leading rusher (3,151 yards) earned the award on special teams vs. UCLA as a freshman in 2009 and on offense vs. Nevada in 2010.
Last week, Barner and sophomore all-purpose standout De'Anthony Thomas were named two of 16 players selected as semifinalists for the 76th Maxwell Award, given to the collegiate football player of the year as chosen by the Maxwell Football Club national selection committee.

There is a new wolf pack on the Colville Indian Reservation. The Strawberry Pack is the ninth Washington wolf and there might be as many as four more in Eastern Washington according to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
This is good news for those that criticized the WDFWs for eliminating of the Wedge Wolf Pack after non-lethal attempts were made to keep them from killing local cattle.
To minimize conflict WDFW officials are working with ranchers to take additional steps to protect their cattle. Ranchers who enter into new cost-sharing agreements can qualify for assistance to pay for electric fencing, guard dogs, range riders and other protective measures.

It's no secret that food prices are on the rise and the recent drought in the Midwest has exacerbated the problem, in fact some economists predict this year could see as bad a situation as the food crisis of 1988. With budgets stretched to the limits already this is bad news, but never fear as Bountiful Baskets , an all volunteer organization, offers some relief to the pocket book. For a low buy-in price one receives two baskets full of produce, one filled with fruit and one with veggies. The types of produce vary each time and there are other offers as well, such as bread, honey, and all organic with separate pricing. Visited the Surprise, AZ location and found the volunteers to be cheerful and helpful, the produce was fresh and added a healthy component to meals for a couple weeks after. Hit their website for information on signing up, location and times, setting up an account, and payment methods. This is too good a deal to pass up.
The old rusty grill just ain't what she used to be...
Big box stores run by corporate headquarters are pushing the grills into a corner to make way for giant inflatable Jack o' lanterns and Styrofoam tombstones. This is good news for anyone searching for a replacement (or second) grill or smoker. Check for closeouts and deals on all grilling equipment from gas grills to "Kiss the Cook" aprons.
Don't cover that grill yet
Labor Day has typically been the death knell for summer, but here in Arizona we're in the shank of the season and there is nonstop grilling in the future. Though there are plenty of grilling days ahead there's no reason not to fire up Ol' Smoky on Labor Day and smoke some ribs, roast ears of corn (perhaps from the Bountiful Basket) -- maybe even toss on some slices of fresh pineapple for dessert, or follow up with some chilled watermelon. Don't forget a nice cold beer ( ) to help the celebration, but do grill and drink responsibly!

DC United and the Columbus Crew played to a scoreless tie on Saturday evening, although not before Columbus goalkeeper Steve Clark made perhaps the easiest save on a penalty kick in the history of soccer.
Five minutes into stoppage time, on nearly the last play of the game, Fabian Espindola stepped up to take a penalty kick after Bernardo Anor was called for handling the ball in the penalty area. Goalkeeper Steve Clark stood his ground on the shot, and needed only stand still and catch the ball as Espindola softly lobbed it down the center of the goal.
That humiliating episode aside, United were generally the better team throughout the game. They were the first team this season to out-possess the Crew, and also finished with a slight advantage in completed passes.
Columbus fielded a changed lineup as coach Gregg Berhalter continues to deal with absences due to injuries and the World Cup. Michael Parkhurst played on the right side of defense, while the center was held down by Eric Gehrig and Tyson Wahl. Bernardo Anor continued his tenure on the left side.
Despite this shift, the defense proved capable of shutting down the United attack. When the defense began to crack late in the game, Steve Clark made the needed saves - not only on Espindola's penalty but also several minutes earlier when Jared Jeffrey unleashed a low blast that was stopped one-handed by Clark.
After the midweek trade of Dominic Oduro for Alvaro Rey, it was easy to anticipate that Jairo Arrieta would get the start at forward. The Costa Rican received decent service from the midfield, but was also the first player substituted in the 56th minute. Berhalter chose to replace Arrieta with Justin Meram, leaving the Crew without a clear forward until the subsequent introduction of Adam Bedell in the 77th minute.
It was Bedell who had the most dangerous scoring opportunity, in the 83rd minute. Ethan Finlay reached the end line to the right of goal, and passed back to an open Bedell near the penalty spot. The Crew rookie had an uncontested shot at goal, but put the ball too close to Hamid who punched it away to safety.
Doubleheader with Spain vs. El Salvador
Saturday's game was played at FedEx Field outside Washington, DC rather than United's usual home of RFK Stadium. It was the second game of a doubleheader that also featured a friendly between the Spanish and El Salvadoran national teams. The strength of that opening game propelled the attendance to 53,267 - one of the largest crowds for which the Crew have ever played.

Nicki i love your music so much please come to cobalt theater its not the amazing stages but it has a stage chairs and table for autograph signing i really want to come to your concert s but its to expensive and far away and im terrified of planes so please come to cobalt the town of history where the first mining began its a small town but i really wanna see u one way or another...
I love the album Pnik Friday. I play it along with Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded everyday in my car and house. I'm a 19 year old mom and my son comes in my room when I get home from work/school just to turn on the radio and dance to Starship. He's so adorable when he dances and it's his favorite song :). Nicki, you have inspired me in numourous ways. I was determined to finish school, find a way to make my own money, and become that great person God created me to be. Some told me I couldn't be a model, take care of a child so young, or rise to the top and shine above my peers but I have managed to do that and much more than what those around me expected. I am a Biology major at University of Houston Sugarland, I'm currently planning a trip to Disney World for my son's 2nd birthday (by the grace of God) and I'm the owner of a Infiniti Q45 (a very luxurious car btw). I am great because of your songs that push me everyday to try harder. I thank God everyday for you and that He put someone like you in my life to show me it's never too late to be great. I don't know if you will ever read this but my hope is to meet you one day to let you know how much of an impact you've had on my life. Thank you. And if you ever want to contact me my email is email@example.com Never stop doing what you do best, because there is always someone out there watching from a far and praying to be great like you.

worst pellets i have ever bought. pigeons eat them like breakfast. not consistent at all. stick to crosman brand pellets.
middletown, MO
4 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
almost good enough
June 12, 2014
Got these in a dial a pellet to try out several kinds for accuracy in a Gamo Bull Whisper BC These shoot almost well enough to use but not quite. I am getting about 1 3/8 inch groupings at 25 yards At this price though I won't have my feeling hurt and I can still shoot cans and stuff with em but they will not make it for serious pest control.
Pros:seem to be consistent just not quite accurate enough in my gun. daisy tins are good metal screw tops. Might work will in other guns. Excellent pricing for the quality.
Cons:little dirty, not nice and shiney nothing I care about anyway.

So-So pellets
June 1, 2013
These are economical hollow point pellets but they aren't very consistent. They also seem to have a slightly larger diameter than other pellets I have used because I have to shove them into the barrel of my air gun for them to fully seat. They are a great price though
Pros:Very Good Price.
Cons:Not very consistent and they seem to have a slightly larger diameter than other pellets I regularly use since I have to shove them into the barrel for them to fully seat.
3 Stars
For the price, they are decent.
April 4, 2013
They are really meant for daisy guns. Too light for high powered rifles. No killing power in my break barrels. Also, in the breech their tolerance is off, causing it to sit wobbly in the breech. They are about .050 too small.
Pros:For the price and amount, they are good.
Cons:Only useful in low-powered guns, preferably daisy's Tolerancing issues arise in the breech of larger, more powerful guns

I had this beautiful dress custom made for me because I wanted a very short engagment (3 months) and during that time couldn't find my dream dress- so I had it made! It is a super light pink/blush tulle ballgown style dress- sweetheart neckline, drop waist, with a corset back. The tulle ballgown is gorgeous- I'm obsessed with tulle- I had a horse hair hem sewn on certain layers after a Lazaro dress I loved- and the tulle is layered for great movement and flow. The bodice is overlayed with lace, and has two gorgeous venetian lace overlays over that. The one picture shows the dress in stage one- but I had decided to have the darker pink beads removed and instead went with the lace shown in the close up. This dress is amazing; everyone was drooling over it the whole reception- the color is unique and very haute couture.
The dress was made to my measurements- but because of the corset back it could work a size up or down. I am a street size 4; I am 36″ 27″ 36″- 5'7″ without heels, and I wore 5 in heels with the dress- it obviously can be shortened. Thanks and feel free to ask questions!

text: 08 July 2004 archive See all show photos "I'M convinced that haute couture must go on, as it's our heart and soul, even the foundation of our fashion house - it's where everything began," Christian Lacroix told reporters before his show in Paris yesterday. "But on the other hand, even if it's difficult to accept, we must face reality: couture houses cannot survive without clients. The tiny hands in the workshops earn a living thanks to real clothes, for real clients." Perhaps that is why he paired down his usual smorgasbord of prints and clashing fabrics to a collection that focused purely on a delicious kaleidoscope of colours draped into impressive fairytale gowns (Look 28) and gorgeous coats that fastened with a single button and bow (Look 3). Candyfloss clouds of hair maintained the element of fantasy, while dresses featured intricately folded corsages (Look 8) that trumpeted Lacroix's status as a superb craftsman. Cleavage-enhancing bodices drew the silhouette in over huge trains and marabou skirts (Look 36), giving the presentation an eccentric feel, but overall this was Lacroix's attempt to take couture back to its luxurious, uncomplicated but intricately detailed roots. "Instead of weighing down the outfits for three weeks by making them too elaborate, we tried to keep the simplicity of the first sketch," he said. "This is a new era, so we must strip it down but always keep the allure, the attitude, the extravagance." (July 8 2004, AM) Continue reading Back to top

Love is never the result of a fall as the popular phrase, "Falling in love", suggests however romantic it may sound to your ears or mine from decades of programming and social engineering via film, television, fairytales, and other influential images that leave long-lasting imprints that shape how we view and speak about love.
Yes, I realize how bold a statement that is.
Many in successful relationships would use this same language to describe their coming together that I now, seem to be questioning. Though I don't question the results of any lasting union, I do question the language used to describe their coming together.
Language conjures images and ideologies that gives wings to the notion that love is accidental not intentional and behavorial. Any relationship that stands the tests and trials of time does not last unintentionally. The success or failure of love is not the result of happenstance. Any couple that stayed together over the long run, did so in the face of all manner of adversity.
In short, it's not an easy feat for any couple to withstand the tests of time. Somehow, "Falling in love" does not adequately represent what happens between two people when you consider the 'life' that awaits them beyond 'the fall'. We cannot so casually overlook the language used to describe love.
Words convey meaning through ideas and images that are presented in those words. Falling in love implies that love is not a choice. 'It' happens to two unsuspecting people without their consent and sometimes contrary to their own desire.
While this notion works well in films that appeal heavily to the emotions and require nothing of us but the indulgence of our imaginations as we are whisked off into a world of carefree romance where our relationship issues can be solved in less than an hour. The bedroom usually acts as the "great equalizer" to right all wrongs.
Whatever is wrong is made right between us between designer layers of high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and soft music that sets the mood and the perfect ambiance for intense 'problem-solving'. As stated earlier, this works great for breathtaking scenes on the small and big screen.
Love, beyond the screen, requires much more than 'sexual healing' and other trinkets to build and to maintain. Love is never the result of a fall. Love is a choice. Love is a behavior. There has never been so great or beautiful an accident. There never will be as great a fall.

September 12, 2007 – Columbus Technical College nursing student, Sergio Arce, has been named the proud and deserving recipient of the W.G. Hartline Scholarship. The $500 scholarship will help offset the cost of tuition and fees for the former Army Ranger.
September 12, 2007 – Columbus Technical College first year nursing student Sergio Arce (center) accepts his $500 Hartline Scholarship. Also pictured: Gloria Dodds, Director of Institutional Advancement and Ken Gordon, RN, MSN, Program Manager, Nursing.
The W.G. Hartline Scholarship is named in memory of Mr. W.G. "Griff" Hartline, former president of Columbus Technical College. Mr. Hartline served the College from 1965 – 1994 and was president from 1979 – 1994. The scholarship will be awarded each Fall Quarter to a deserving first year nursing student.
Sergio Arce, 24, spent most of his adult life as a U.S. Army Ranger Infantryman at Fort Benning's 3rd Ranger Battalion. In his application for the Hartline Scholarship, Arce said, "I have been to both Iraq and Afghanistan several times and have witnessed both the life saving actions of well-trained medics and physicians and the unfortunate death of human beings. This is one of the reasons after I left the military that I chose to start a new career as a Registered Nurse. Nurses are the foundation in assuring every patient receives individual care and attention from beginning to end during hospitalization."
After he graduates, Arce hopes to get to work saving lives as a nurse in an intensive care unit at a hospital. His wife, Vanessa, is also pursuing a degree in nursing at Columbus Technical College. She is a second year student.
Arce says the Hartline Scholarship will be a big financial boost. Both Sergio and Vanessa are full time students and, because of their class load, can only work side jobs on weekends for small incomes.

What cluster radius should I choose in Leader-Follower clustering ?
For Canvas Leader-Follower clustering, a good rule of thumb is that the resulting number of clusters should not exceed the square root of the number of compounds in the initial pool. To find the cluster radius that will select for this number of clusters, experiment with a small subset of structures in your collection to find the ideal cluster radius. In addition, filtered fingerprints will shorten the runtime for Leader-Follower clustering.

How to Ease Cold Symptoms Quickly
Why does the cold season have to come at the same time as Christmas? No worries, this article should help you manage the symptoms of a cold.
1Take very strong cold medicine to ease the symptoms. Benadryl works well. So does TheraFlu. Inhale Vicks (or anything menthol) if you have a blocked up nose. Warmth and moisture is the key to easing the annoying symptoms of congestion. Take a long hot shower.
2Take time off school/work if possible. Sleep, it's your body's way of taking care of itself. Take it easy and relax. Cozy up under a blanket and watch a movie, take a bubble bath and don't do anything to exert yourself. When awake, keep your mind active with a book or video games so you aren't focusing on how bad you feel. Don't stay up too late either.
3Get some fresh air. It'll really clear your nasal passages and you'll feel much better for it - it's no fun being cooped up in the house all day. If you really don't feel able to go outside, then just open a window and sit by it for a while.
4Regulate your temperature. If you feel too hot, open a window - if you feel too cold put on extra clothes. Take a hot bath if you get the chills.
- Take your temperature regularly and use medication, such as aspirin, to keep it down. If it gets too high call a doctor.
5Try eating spicy food, like salsa, this will help with the blocked nose too. If you don't like spicy food then drink hot drinks such as tea/hot chocolate - these won't clear your nose so much but they will make you feel a lot better. Don't eat too much spicy food, though.
6Stay away from caffeine. We love being up and alert, but products with a lot of caffeine will make you feel worse. It's like a sugar high: up and bouncy, then tired, depleted, and feeling worse than before.
7Endure. There is nothing known to man that can actually shorten the duration of a cold. They virtually always last seven days no matter what we do. Accept this, do your best to treat the symptoms so you are comfortable, and wait it out.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Turn off your phone and get some rest.
- Keep in contact with your friends - it sucks to be ill and it sucks even more to be ill and lonely. Just try not to pass on your germs.
- Aerate your home often.
- Wash a load of dishes and designate one cup to reuse for drinks while you are sick to limit the spread of germs and be sure no one else uses it.
- Do some laundry, including bed sheets and throw blankets, to kill the bad germs.
- Sterilize everything with Lysol or Clorox wipes in your living area, office, and vehicles.
- The cold season is also the flu season - if you can't get out of bed or do anything you normally do then you might have the flu and you should definitely go to your doctor.
- If your cold doesn't clear up in about a week you should go see a doctor.
Things You'll Need
- Cold medicine
- Menthol inhaler
- Some spicy food/hot drinks
- Warm clothing/blankets
- Stuff to keep you entertained: a good book, a movie, video game...anything that keeps you amused.
