Surprise after surprise
Reviewed: 02 July 2016 by TheTinyOne, a Bisexual Single Female
It may look small and dainty, but do not judge it on its sleek appearance. This toy provides surprise after surprise.
Each of the speeds provides various sensations. In the midst of pleasure, it is easy to switch speeds and it is the most incredible sensation. It takes you on this amazing roller coaster of pleasure.
What is really nice is that the patterns are different and have varying speed. For example, if you like strong and steady vibrations, there is the faster version of it too. It is the same for the pulsations.
Turning it off is a bit challenging at first, especially when your fingers are slippery. Nevertheless, once you get the knack of it in terms of pressure and angle, it's quite easy to do.
The shape of the toy is extremely beautiful. It's slim and elegant. It's one of those toys that you can discreetly hide in your purse. The toy is also very easy to clean. I have had mine for over a year now and it's still going strong.
The only minor point that I have found is that the white turns yellowish after a while, but it doesn't change anything to its performance.
- Pros
- Design, power, speed variations.
- Cons
- On/off button could be less challenging to use.
- Bottom line
- Beautiful inside and out.

Bzzt have you heard this?
Reviewed: 15 January 2016 by ChattyPanda, a Straight Engaged Female
This was the first multi-speed vibrator I'd bought as I'm fairly new to the "toy" game if you will, I'd dabbled before with a Durex vibrating bullet but that had a tendency to die quickly meaning I was blowing more money on batteries, and after a while I started to get bored of the Durex one due to its single speed and I began to not enjoy using it as I was finding it harder to achieve an orgasm. Anyway, fast forward to this...
I bought mine 6 months ago (and today it dies) but I have had good use from it. The 7 functions are just devine, the silicone is soft to the touch but I love the tip itself, if you're after targeted vibrations then you can get that by using just the tip of the Swoon wand or if you prefer more coverage you can use that (too using the tip).
I also love how quiet this is, the first "test" I did (making sure the house was empty) was to see how loud the vibrator was with the bedroom door shut as well as with and without the TV on for background noise, there was no noise which could be heard from outside the room, which was a plus for me, even on the pulsing settings there was no noise, better still I had amazing orgasms from it!
The end of the shaft is also designed for easy insertion, and for me a small drop of lube will go a long way.
My only flaw I see with this is when I got it, with me being new I knew how to turn it on but not off (which kind of killed the "experimenting" with it - since I had to google) you hold down the on button for 6 seconds and it turns off.
Although I did love the packaging it came in (box wise) as it was very discreet and I love the little pouch it came in.
The toy is easy to clean either with wipes or warm water and antibacterial hand wash.
Even though mine died today, I do plan on getting a second one for several reasons, my first reason being it's a good little vibrator and does its job but two, it makes for a good back massager too, I know how weird that sounds but I suffer back problems and migraines, the feel of this vibrator when it's on the low setting makes for a great massager! And eases the muscle tension really well (in comparison to other non-sex toy related vibrating massagers).
- Pros
- Soft feel, great vibrations, quiet, easy to clean, lovely packaging, great for beginners.
- Cons
- It died after 6 months of plenty of use (maybe that should be a pro).
- Bottom line
- It's a nice little beginners vibrator.

Swoon, I'll catch you
Reviewed: 04 November 2015 by Sinfully Sam, a Bisexual Single Female
I am, to put it simply, quite enamoured of this beautiful bantam toy.
I've been a fan of the 'Swoon' name for a while now, having received the Shimmy gift set with an order last April, so was no stranger to the quality of the brand. I fell hard and fast, if you'll excuse the pun, for that delightful little bullet and was devastated when the time came for it to buzz its final buzz last month. With October's paycheque came the opportunity to seek out a worthy successor, and do that I did.
The Swoon Release is everything that one could hope to find in a clitoral vibrator. It's fairly compact, fitting in most handbags or desk drawers with ease, feels eminently pleasant in the hand, and offers a vast range of orgasm chasing settings at the touch of a single well-placed button. The silicone finish in particular really brings this vibe to life. There's just something delicious about the friction it lends to play when caressing your most sensitive areas, giving it a decidedly more intimate feel than its plastic predecessor.
As an internal massager, the Release maintains its good standing. It has just the right amount of give around a seductively solid heart, a combination that I've always found appealing when it comes to vaginal toys, and is of a superbly satisfying shape. The rounded head is just slightly bulbed, meaning that it is ideal for internal massages while not being too large or advanced for those just starting out in the world of intimate toy play. I thoroughly enjoyed the sensations offered by the Release, from the sweet friction of the silicone to the deep hum of the seven delectable settings inside me. I have no complaints.
With dedicated application of both of these practices, I was able to bring myself to climax time and time again, each peak surpassing the last. With that, this toy quickly earned its place at the top of my vibe list, cementing a steady job for itself in the many months to come.
I will, however, state that it is not as quiet as I would like. I have noticed other reviewers' comments stating the exact opposite, but, in contrast with my Shimmy at least, the Release has a tendency to purr. Now, it's not what I'd call loud, and it certainly won't be waking the neighbours any time soon, but it should be noted that this is not a silent toy. I highly doubt that anybody would get caught out while using it, but I like to play a little music just in case.
All in all, the Swoon Release is a real gem. It looks and feels classy and offers toe-curling orgasms every time. It has become a firm favourite of mine and I urge anybody, especially those just starting out with toys, to give it a go. It's not expensive and it already comes with a protective pouch and batteries - what's there to fault about that?
- Pros
- The classy design, the silicone finish and the vast range of settings.
- Cons
- Not as quiet as I had assumed, but not loud enough to warrant a complaint.
- Bottom line
- A delightful vibe with multiple uses. Perfect for beginners and sexual connoisseurs alike.

Relatives of an 81-year-old man missing for several days found his badly decomposed body in a wooded area of unincorporated Westwego on Saturday morning.
Rodney J. Folse, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, was found next to a small levee covered by trees and shrubbery near the intersection of Wayne Avenue and Alma Street, Jefferson Parish coroner's investigator Tommy Evans said. Folse lived about seven-tenths of a mile away, in the 700 block of Avenue A.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Larry Dyess said homicide detectives were treating the case as an unclassified death until they get the results of an autopsy scheduled for Monday.
Folse's remains were found about 8:30 a.m. by members of his family combing the area on off-road, four-wheel vehicles. They managed to identify him by the clothes and medical alert tag he wore, said Ethel Folse, his daughter-in-law.
Evans said Folse appeared to have died several days beforehand, but the body's advanced state of decomposition, accelerated by the intense summer heat, made that difficult to calculate.
Folse's family last saw him alive Monday about 8 a.m. They reported him missing later that day to the Westwego Police Department, whose jurisdiction does not include the area where the body was found.
According to his nephew Elwood Breaux, Folse was the last remaining of six siblings. Survivors include his wife, a son and a daughter.
Breaux said that when Folse was younger, he enjoyed fishing in Bayou Segnette State Park, riding his bicycle and collecting cans to recycle. His memory had been failing him for some time, but the way his life ended still left his nephew in shock.
"Uncle Rodney was getting up in age, but the news was surprising," Breaux said. "He was a nice man."

In Imaginary Homelands, published in 1991, Salman Rushdie collected essays and critical articles written between 1981 and 1991. The collection, which came out at the height of the "Rushdie Affair", contains several essays dealing with Rushdie's reaction to the fatwa against him, so it is no surprise that it was given a high profile at the time of its publication. Since then, it has been very much quoted by postcolonial scholars of various persuasion, becoming, in the process, a kind of sourcebook for Rushdie's opinions about political issues and about his own literary work. Indeed, there is a kind of porosity between Rushdie's novels and his essays, since the latter develop and clarify ideas and theories …

In reply
We agree with Dr Murray that pediatricians have a strong obligation to protect their patients because they cannot protect themselves. However, we believe that it is essential to consider all of the risks to an infant's health and well-being before seeking a court order. In the third clinical scenario, the infant would be placed at risk of loss of housing, economic support, or even violence if the mother's HIV infection were discovered. Seeking a court order to require bottle-feeding would disclose the infection and place both the infant and mother at risk. The mother is cooperating with her physicians to reduce the medical risk of transmission as much as possible. Under these circumstances, we believe that it is more protective of the infant to honor the mother's decision to breastfeed.

In any case, though, I do agree with the rest of your post. Hopefully Emelin's return will give us some help on that front by allowing us to move Markov around to help out another pairing.
I think Emelin will be a huge boost. Not only is he probably our second best d-man defensively, but he was starting to show a decent amount of offensive upside too. He's pretty unique as far as defenseman go. I think he and Subban have the potential to be almost as dynamic as Markov and Subban.
Not positive but I believe the stats were even strength and in regulation.
Makes sense if that's the case. Possession numbers with special teams can be pretty skewed.

What advice would you give someone starting this project? This is the perfect, easy pattern to hook away while watching t.v., at the pool, beach! Going on a car vacation? Be sure to take this along! Going on an airplane trip, easily pack it in your purse or carry on! Try using your yummy sock yarn or hand painted scrumptious skeins that are screaming to be shown off! Whip one up quickly using worsted weight yarn and a larger hook! Make it larger or smaller easily by stopping at your desired width! Pick an edging out of your stash of crocheted edgings books!
This is so beautiful - great job! :D
Tanks! ;)
Very pretty and I like the way you showed it styled in different ways. I'd like to make this but have never crocheted before.
Thank you for the note! Here's my suggestion, you could purchase the pattern and read it over. Then, go on YouTube and type in "how to crochet" and watch a vide or two. It would be helpful if you had a crochet hook and some yarn to practice along with. After that, you should be ready to make your own Orang Smoothie! Jump in! I hope this helps. I am always available for help with any patterns you purchase from me.

A genetically determined deficiency of α1-antitrypsin in 15 members of one family appeared with wheezing and progressive dyspnea in six. Because of the early age of onset of wheezing and dyspnea, it may be confused with bronchial asthma. Five of the 15 were found to have severe obstructive emphysema; one brother died at age 43 years of the disease, two have had severe hypoxia with oxygen tensions under 50 mm Hg and respiratory failure, and all five had a one-second-timed vital capacity of under 30% of predicted, residual volumes greater than 54% of total lung capacity, and marked uneveness of ventilation. Quantitation of α1-antitrypsin by radial immunoassay showed four of 13 studied to be homozygous and nine heterozygous. Total serum enzyme antitrypsin activity correlated highly with radial gel immunoassay. A hypothetical pathogenic mechanism is described.

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
In the final installment from Nuts About Needlepoint, the Mod Quilt Sampler Part 3 of 3 will give last few patterns needed to complete this wonderful needlepoint project. With the remaining two blocks you'll have everything you need to stitch the a complete Mod Sampler.
With these two blocks you have all the patterns you need to stitch the blocks for the mod Sampler.
I didn't have time today to stitch more than three blocks, but, as you can see, this completes two rows of the quilt. I'll update you with a picture of the completed blocks towards the end of the month.
This block, which is split vertically down the middle is stitched in Giant Diagonal Cashmere. Diagonal Cashmere is a fun stitch where two Cashmere Stitches share the shortest stitch. In making these blocks each side should be stitched exactly the same.
The final block can be found as the last block in the second row. It is another version of Log Cabin (second block in top row). This one has top and bottom "logs' longer than the side "logs." It is called Courthouse Steps.
In order to complete the sampler, you will need to know the block/color combination for each row. Here they are, moving from left to right:
First Row:
- Quadrants/red
- Log Cabin/orange
- Checks/orchid
- Horizontal Stripes/yellow
- Diagonal Cashmere/orchid
Second Row:
- Log Cabin/pink
- Checks/yellow
- Horizontal Stripes/apricot
- Diagonal Cashmere/red
- Courthouse Steps/orange

Cher credits luck for her lengthy career
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Cher is no stranger to tabloid fodder.
The 67-year-old singer who has spent most of her life in the spotlight offered this advice to young artists on navigating the world of paparazzi attention: "You don't deal with it. You just try to get a place where no one can find you and that's your little sanctuary," said the singer.
Cher took the stage Tuesday for the season finale of NBC's "The Voice." She performed "Woman's World," the first single off her upcoming album of the same name — her 26th album since she began recording in the 1960s.
Cher said reality singing competitions are simply a modern incarnation of classic star-makers like "The Ed Sullivan Show" and "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts."
"Talent is talent," she said on the red carpet following the finale that crowned 16-year-old country singer Danielle Bradbery the winner.
The young powerhouse from Blake Shelton's team beat out rocker Michelle Chamuel and country duo the Swon Brothers for the season four title.
Though Cher has topped the Billboard pop charts throughout the last six decades, she credits luck for her incredible staying power.
Arias TV movie airs Saturday on Lifetime
PHOENIX — A made-for-television movie on Jodi Arias is scheduled to air this weekend.
"Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret" is set to be shown Saturday on Lifetime, but the movie won't be about the trial.
Screenwriter Richard Blaney wrote the script with Gregory Small. Blaney said the project was in the works more than a year ago. He says they completed the script in December.
That was the same month that Arias' televised trial started in the brutal 2008 slaying of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, a Mesa motivational speaker.

There are a lot of questions and challenges you face as you embark on this new path, and the best thing you can do for your organization is to employ an expert guide to take you on your virtual journey.
Connection, the enterprise sales subsidiary of Connection, wanted to move part of their infrastructure to the cloud. In order to ensure a successful transition, they engaged the Connection Professional Services team to design and implement a managed services environment, built on a standards-based infrastructure from Tier 1 manufacturers.
Since Connection, like every organization, had some unique needs, the PC Connection Services team employed 4 steps to ensure a successful implementation:
In this episode of our Connection Point podcast, I join President of Connection, John Thomas, as well as Carlos Covarrubias, Vice President of Systems for Connection, to talk about this project—and how Connection used the same services we offer to all our customers to overcome design challenges and build their new cloud environment.
For more than 30 years, the Connection family of companies has been trusted to provide and transform technology into complete solutions. For more information, drop us a line.

Background: Low-carbohydrate diets are popular for weight loss, but their cardiovascular effects have not been well-studied, particularly in diverse populations.
Objective: To examine the effects of a low-carbohydrate diet compared with a low-fat diet on body weight and cardiovascular risk factors.
Design: A randomized, parallel-group trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00609271)
Setting: A large academic medical center.
Participants: 148 men and women without clinical cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Intervention: A low-carbohydrate (<40 g/d) or low-fat (<30% of daily energy intake from total fat [<7% saturated fat]) diet. Both groups received dietary counseling at regular intervals throughout the trial.
Measurements: Data on weight, cardiovascular risk factors, and dietary composition were collected at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Results: Sixty participants (82%) in the low-fat group and 59 (79%) in the low-carbohydrate group completed the intervention. At 12 months, participants on the low-carbohydrate diet had greater decreases in weight (mean difference in change, −3.5 kg [95% CI, −5.6 to −1.4 kg]; P = 0.002), fat mass (mean difference in change, −1.5% [CI, −2.6% to −0.4%]; P = 0.011), ratio of total–high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (mean difference in change, −0.44 [CI, −0.71 to −0.16]; P = 0.002), and triglyceride level (mean difference in change, −0.16 mmol/L [−14.1 mg/dL] [CI, −0.31 to −0.01 mmol/L {−27.4 to −0.8 mg/dL}]; P = 0.038) and greater increases in HDL cholesterol level (mean difference in change, 0.18 mmol/L [7.0 mg/dL] [CI, 0.08 to 0.28 mmol/L {3.0 to 11.0 mg/dL}]; P < 0.001) than those on the low-fat diet.
Limitation: Lack of clinical cardiovascular disease end points.
Conclusion: The low-carbohydrate diet was more effective for weight loss and cardiovascular risk factor reduction than the low-fat diet. Restricting carbohydrate may be an option for persons seeking to lose weight and reduce cardiovascular risk factors.
Primary Funding Source: National Institutes of Health.

Overall the study has several strengths and many similarities when compared to other Low-Fat vs. Low-Carb diet studies. Retention of 80% is good. Duration of 1-year is better than 3m or 6m but not as long as 2 years. NDS-R diet assessment repeatedly throughout the study is stronger than many studies, some of which did little to assess adherence. Diet adherence data suggest the two diets were clearly differentiated early in the study, and still clearly differentiated at 12 months - better than several studies where recidivism left little difference between diet groups by the end of the protocol. Sample size is reasonable - bigger than some, smaller than other studies.
Primary concern is with the goals of Low-Fat vs. Low-Carb. Authors state that, with no calorie restriction, main objective for Low-Fat was to achieve <30% energy from fat, and for Low-Carb <40 g carbohyrdates. With a baseline intake of ~35% fat, this means the Low-Fat group had the objective of reducing their fat % intake by 1/7th, a very modest change. In contrast, with a baseline mean intake of 242 grams of carbohydrate, the Low-Carb group objective was to cut this by 5/6ths, a hugely ambitious goal. Despite clearly differentiating the diets the two groups were on, this researcher considers it problematic that one group had a modest goal, leading to a modest weight change, while the other group had a wildly ambitious goal, and eventually achieved a larger weight loss.
Yes a 5% reduction in weight can lead to clinically meaningful improvements in risk factors, as was reported. But did we really need yet another study to point out that comparing a wildly ambitious diet with "usual care" (30% fat) could yield generally disappointing weight loss in both groups with a slight (and temporary?) reduction in risk factors?
What if the Low-Carb objective had been to drop from the baseline average (of both diets) of ~47% energy to <42% energy (modest goal), and the Low-Fat objective had been to drop from the baseline average (of both diets) of ~78 grams of fat/day to 1/6th of that, which would have been 13 grams of fat/day (ambitious goal).

See Dutch Oven and Queef. Similar to the Dutch oven however it can only be done by a woman. The woman queefs under the covers and pulls them over her bedmate's head to keep them trapped in the stink.
Did you see my youtube video of me doing a crazy Clam Bake my boyfriend? For some reason he is no longer returning my phone calls....

A setting or event where the number of woman is overly concentrated resulting in general catty or bitchy behavior. The exact opposite of a Sausage Festival.
They need to hire some dudes on the sales team; it's a clam bake over there with all that gossiping.

A party at which females greatly outnumber males.
You go to a house party but it's filled with women who just went to a baby shower together, you are one of a handful of men so it's a "clambake".

It is a good bet, however, that he will never forget the 2008 state tournament.
Tam Ho led a determined Maui team to the title in a gripping, 13-inning 9-8 win over Oahu on Sunday at Maehara Stadium to give Maui its first AJA state title in 20 years and break Oahu's 15-year stranglehold on the championship trophy.
Tam Ho, a 2002 Baldwin High School graduate, didn't start in Maui's 10-6 win over Kauai in the semifinals, but he came on to go 2-for-3 and score the go-ahead run after doubling in the sixth and the eventual winning run after singling in the seventh.
Sunday, he was even better — his towering three-run homer to left field tied the game at 6-6 in the seventh inning, and his RBI single nearly won the game in the 13th.
He left the last highlight to Aaron Matsui, who singled in pinch runner Lyle Fujimori one batter after Tam Ho tied the game and Brent Fukagawa was thrown out at the plate trying to win it on Tam Ho's fifth hit of the game in six at-bats.
To cap the day, Tam Ho was the first player in the 73-year history of the Hawaii State AJA Baseball Federation Tournament to sweep the Most Valuable Player, batting average (7 for 9, .778), and RBI (4) trophies in the same event. He tied with three others for the RBI mark, but won it on the batting average tiebreaker.
''Wow,'' Tam Ho said in summing up the day and the 4 1/2-hour game that had Oahu players looking at their watches to see if they would make their return flights home. ''I didn't know that nobody had ever done that. It's a great feeling.''
Tam Ho admitted he was just one of the many Maui heroes on this day.
''I have to tip my hat to the boys,'' he said after taking pictures with his hardware and his family — mom Evelyn, dad Jeff, and sister Jenny. ''We won as a team. We had great pitching, great hitting, and our defense was pretty sound.''
Maui looked like it was in trouble several times.
Despite a determined effort from 44-year-old starting pitcher Dean Yamashita, the Valley Isle nine fell behind 6-1, tied it up after a two-run homer by Matsui in the sixth and Tam Ho's three-run bomb, and then fell behind Oahu by a run twice going to a last-chance inning.
Oahu took a 7-6 lead in the top of the ninth on a bloop RBI single by Shannon Camero. Maui tied the game in the bottom of the ninth when Van Delos Santos led off and reached on an error and Barry Takahashi doubled him home. Tam Ho walked to put runners on first and second with no outs, but former University of Hawaii pitcher Sean Yamashita, who pitched 4 1/3 innings in Oahu's 13-inning win over the Big Island on Saturday, struck out the next two batters and got the final out on a pop to first.
In the top of the 13th, Oahu again took a one-run lead when Ryan Tanaka reached on an error — one of seven miscues for Maui in the game — and scored on an RBI single by Kevin Higa.
Maui's defense did come up big in the 13th after Higa gave Oahu the lead. With runners at first and third and one out Higa stole second after Maui pitcher Lance Fujii threw to first on a pick-off attempt. Chris Loo, the runner on third, was out on a 1-3-6-3-2-5 pickle play for the second out, and Ryan Murakami grounded out to third for the final out.
Maui then made a winner of reliever Fujii for the second day in a row. Fujii, a 2001 Baldwin High School graduate who played collegiately at Concordia (Calif.) University, pitched the final four innings, giving up just one run, after pitching five innings of relief on Saturday.
''I felt good today, better than yesterday,'' Fujii said. ''I knew if I kept us close, our offense would come through — and boy did Aaron and Joey come up big.''
Besides Tam Ho's 5-for-6, four-RBI day and Matsui's 2-for-6, three-RBI day, Maui got two hits and two runs from Royce Fukuroku, and a 4-for-5, RBI performance from Takahashi.
Yamashita, first baseman Takahashi (Texas Christian), second baseman Fukuroku (San Francisco), shortstop Gered Mochizuki (Central Missouri), third baseman Delos Santos (Washington State), and catcher Chase Corniel (junior college) gave Maui an all-collegiate starting infield.
Oahu countered with a lineup loaded with former collegians — and starting pitcher Daven Hermosura was a former standout for UH.
But on this rainy afternoon in front of a boisterous home-field crowd af about 500, it was Maui's day. The home team won despite seven errors to just one for Oahu, which went home in second place after playing 26 innings in two days and using eight pitchers on Sunday.
Perhaps Fujii summed it up best. The win came on the final day that Warren Shimabukuro was keeping score and taking care of the field for the Maui AJA league. It was also the final day for outgoing Maui AJA president Neal Fujiwara.
''It feels good to win for Maui, it feels good to win for Uncle Warren,'' Fujii said. ''Twenty years is a long time. I was pumped.''

By Alexis Kessler '14
Jennifer Caruso '97 found a job at DreamWorks Animation eight years after graduating from Bradley with a degree in Sociology. As much as she enjoys her time in sunny Los Angeles, her Bradley experience seems far superior than most as it was and still is very close to her heart.
Caruso was in love at first sight when she arrived on Bradley's campus with her high school best friend. "[Bradley had a] charming campus. Nice people, perfect size and only two hours from home…not too close, not too far."
As Caruso looks back on her experience, she recalls it as being "wonderful" and explains that she not only received a great education, but was involved with awesome social organizations as well such as, Campus Crusade for Christ and The Molenarmy (men's basketball fan club). Her most memorable moments were anywhere on Williams 2, Williams cafeteria, second floor of the library, SAE or The Lucky Lady on weekends. She made lifelong friends that she still keeps in close contact with. In fact, Jennifer and eight of her closest friends recently visited Bradley during Homecoming 2013.
After graduating from Bradley, Caruso moved to Atlanta with one of her best friends (and Bradley roommate) and began looking for a job. "I thought I was going to use my sociology degree to counsel children, but my career took an entirely different path. I started nannying for a lovely family, which turned out to be a major blessing in more ways than one! Coincidentally, both parents worked for Turner Broadcasting – which led to my now 15 year career in the entertainment industry."
In 2005, Caruso made her transition to DreamWorks Animation where she's been for almost nine years. She got her start in Consumer Products working as an assistant and worked her way up to Interactive Manager where she now manages their ever-growing video game and mobile game business. For example, their Turbo Racing League app recently hit 41 million downloads and has won two major mobile marketing awards. "We are very proud," says Caruso with excitement.
As a typical Bradley alum, she still embodies one of Bradley's core values – service to her community. Caruso occasionally coordinates employee volunteer projects for the studio. In recent years, she has worked with the Motion Picture Television Fund, The Junior Blind Olympics, Reading to Kids, Operation Gratitude and many other wonderful local non-profits in the Los Angeles area.
Caruso valued her time at Bradley so much that she continues to stay involved as an alumna by donating to Bradley's fundraising campaigns and by attending alumni events in LA.
As Caruso looks backs on her time as a Bradley student, she explains that in addition to building lifelong friendships, she learned a lot about people (and herself), all while receiving a great education which empowered her to set big goals and achieve them.
Currently, Caruso resides in Burbank, California with her boyfriend of almost eight years, Rob (their celebrity name is Robifer). When they're not teasing each other about which city is better; Chicago (where Jen is from) or New York (where Rob is from), they can be usually found in search of a new adventure – sometimes in their own backyard at a local concert, a used bookstore, or even an amusement park…and sometimes on a road trip to explore some of California's most interesting locales.

Roti Canai (Authentic Malaysian Recipe)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is the authentic recipe used by the Mamak (Indians) in Malaysia. The recipes that have margarine or eggs and milk are not the ones they use in those Indian food stalls. Incredibly easy. must try!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cooking oil
- Mix the salt in the water.
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salted water gradually.
- Mix the flour into a dough. kneed until smooth. Make sure the texture of the dough is not too sticky and gooey.
- Oil your hands with cooking oil and then make the dough into palm sized balls.
- In a bowl pour some oil so that the dough doesn't stick to the bowl. Put in the balls, coating it with oil as you put one on top of each other. After it is all in a bowl, totally immerse it in oil. Leave over night.
- Oil your kneading space. Take out one dough ball, flatten it out into with you palms until the size of a dinner plate.
- Flip it like a pizza (I put a link below to show you how to flip it).
- Flip the dough a couple of times and spread it out until paper thin.
- Take the one edge and fold it to the middle. Do this another three times so that it will turn into a square.
- Grease a flat pan or skillet with cooking oil and cook until golden brown.

Yup, that's the real thing! It's amazing how much oil goes into it. Some Malay coffeeshops put in margarine and egg. I'd suggest reducing the salt to 2/3 tablespoon and adding 2/3 tablespoon of white sugar - to be dissolved in the water.
roti chanai is Malaysian style roti. You just placed Nepali / indian recipe for momo's This is not authentic Roti Chanai recipe. Real one has lots of ghee and condense milk.>> Reason why when they flip the dough it is so pliable... It's cheep chapatti recipe with the wrong flour (usually not regular flour but atta flour).
This was much easier than I thought! I watched the You Tube video, and I tried to scrunch mine up the way he does after it's cooked, and it went really nice and flaky! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of struggling supermarket chain SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU ) jumped as much 22% today on reports that it was close to a deal with investment group Cerberus.
So what: According to The Wall Street Journal, Cerberus would take some parts of the business private and purchase a stake in others, leaving the stock intact. All told, Cerberus is expected to contribute $500 million. SUPERVALU, which has been bleeding cash for the last few quarters, faces a host of problems including a crushing debt burden, fruitless restructuring costs, and increasing competition from the likes of Wal-Mart and Target. Shares are now worth just 10% of their price before the financial crisis, which prompted management to go hunting for a buyer.
Now what: At this point, pretty much any news is good news for SUPERVALU, as it seems like things can't get any worse. Based on some metrics, the stock is unbelievably cheap, trading at a P/S of just $0.02, and the variety of chains it owns, including Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, and Shoppers Food Warehouse, would seem to indicate that there's value to be found somewhere. Cerberus has expressed particular interest in Albertsons, as it already owns a different set of Albertsons stores. Expect an update when SUPERVALU reports earnings next Thursday.

Surgical operations, although necessary for the patient's life and health, are frightening and upsetting. The adult recovers from this emotional upset in a reasonably short time and does not necessarily show in his later emotional reactions the effects of the operation. This is not so true of the child. His emotional development, that is, his capacity to handle his emotional reactions, is still incomplete. His ego has not acquired a very stable ability to test reality. His knowledge of his own physiology and anatomy is meager and is confused with weird speculations about the inside of his body, and he is reticent about discussing these weird ideas with adults lest he be laughed at, as has happened so often.
When he has to have an operation, he is seldom told what is going to happen to him and may even not be told that there is to be an operation

Consisting of three main islands, St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, the U.S. Virgin Islands are home to some of the best beaches in the Caribbean with fine, powder-white sand and stunning natural beauty. From secluded coves to resort areas, there's a beach on the U.S. Virgin Islands to suit every type of traveler. Here are five of the best beaches on the U.S. Virgin Islands.
1. Magens Bay Beach
St. Thomas
Magens Bay Beach is a beautiful half-mile-long stretch of white sand sheltered by two peninsulas and ideal for swimming. It's one of the most popular beaches on the island and a favorite St. Thomas cruise ship destination; so expect crowds and a lively atmosphere.
2. Lindberg Bay
St. Thomas
Less crowded than Magens Bay Beach, Lindberg Bay is another of the best beaches on St. Thomas and a favorite spot to take the family. The water off the coast is calm and shallow, there is a children's play area nearby and some nice beachfront restaurants.
3. Trunk Bay
St. John
Ranked among the best beaches in the world, St. John's Trunk Bay is the most beautiful beach on the island and a favorite destination for snorkeling. A nationally protected area, Trunk Bay' underwater snorkeling trail extends just off the coast.
4. Cinnamon Bay Beach
St. John
A national park and campground, Cinnamon Bay Beach is a popular destination for water sports including windsurfing, kite boarding and kayaking. Active travelers can also enjoy camping, hiking and mountain biking around Cinnamon Bay.
5. Cane Bay Beach
St. Croix
A popular snorkeling destination, Cane Bay Beach is the best beach on the island of St. Croix. The water at Cane Bay is calm, clear and rich in marine life. With an impressive reef wall located just offshore, Cane Bay Beach is one of the best dive spots in the Caribbean.

Just found you, but thought I would add my 2 cents anyway: both. Time after time, I hear sewists say, oh I could make that myself (if only the pattern were available)... and the wannabes and non-sewists ALWAYS say, if anybody will make me one, I will pay you. Two different markets, and they both find blogs/stores like yours.
Happy stitching! Gail at 2createincolor.com

Fact Sheet
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a way for an HIV-negative person who is at risk of HIV infection to reduce their risk of becoming infected with HIV. It involves taking anti-HIV drugs on a regular basis. PrEP provides only partial protection from HIV infection and is not intended to replace consistent condom use, new needles or other ways of preventing HIV. PrEP has not been approved by Health Canada; however, one type of PrEP (daily oral Truvada pills) has been approved in the United States. This form of PrEP may be available in Canada from doctors who are willing to prescribe it "off-label." Truvada as PrEP is much less effective at reducing the risk ofView Full Article

43rd Annual Meeting
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
(October 24 - 27, 2002)
The 2002 Society for the History of Discoveries (SHD) meeting in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, will address the theme of Exploration and Discovery in New Spain, although papers related to exploration, discovery, and the history of cartography of other areas are also welcome. Originally established in the mid 1500s, Guadalajara became a key location in the exploration and discovery of New Spain's northern frontier by the 1700s, and is now Mexico's second largest city. The historic community of Zapopan, in the metropolitan Guadalajara area, will be our meeting locale. All papers will be presented at El Colegio de Jalisco in Zapopan. SHD invites those wishing to present a paper at this meeting to submit a proposal by July 15, 2002. The proposal should not exceed one page in length and must include:


text:
The chapter will discuss the influence of the social scientific tradition upon historical writing. It will introduce and explain relevant ideas and concepts from the founders of sociology and later theorists, and will critically appraise the ways in which these ideas have been used in historical writing. A particular feature of the book is that the influence of theory upon practical historical writing will be examined through the discussion of at least two extended examples.
If you are interested in writing this chapter please contact me for further details. I will require an abstract of up to 1000 words by 8 July 2002 and the completed chapter must be submitted by October 2002.

The market for mood modifying drugs, those ethical pharmaceutical drugs that treat both anxiety and depression, has been declining by an average (-4%) per year over the past five years.
The main reasons for decline are both intensive generic competition coupled with mismanagement, on the part of marketing directors and strategists at the helm of CNS business unit in leading multinational pharmaceutical companies, when it comes to brand and lifecycle management strategies of their branded assets.
The Pharmaceutical Strategist, a leading long range scenario planning think tank for the life science industry has been calling for a change in the way mood modifying drugs are being branded, positioned and marketed for over a decade.
This latest edition of its highly praised Mood Modifying Drug Market Report is completely revised and takes into account the recent recommendations of DSM-5, which was published, as a draft, in December 2012.
If you are a top executive in either a branded or generic pharmaceutical multinational that carries a line of CNS drugs targeted at the areas of depression or anxiety, this report will become an indispensable reference tool during your next strategy meeting when trying to defend against the severe budget cuts that are inevitably coming to both your R&D and Promotional spending budgets.
The Pharmaceutical Strategist's Mood Modifying Drug Market report is targeted at the senior decision maker and takes a helicopter view of the market with a time span stretching from the good old days of the 70s to the many interesting scenarios that might be unfolding in the medium range future.

Mood Modifying Drugs Market
What we now know about the interaction of biology and experience tells us that the distinction between temperament and character is arbitrary and artificial. Inherited variation in neurochemical activity which used to determine dispositions to certain moods and learning styles are not destiny and can be changed by biochemical agents.
The neural chemistry with which we arrive to the world is inevitably modified by development, environment, life events and discrete medicine. Enduring personality changes can follow drug-induced changes of mood, coping behavior and learning styles.
As neuroscientists link fitness for different environmental challenges to the activity of specific neurotransmitters the question remains open; would mood modifying drugs act as a new evolutionary tool to help people cope better with stressful environment?
Psychiatric distress is a warning signal that, at some level, a change is needed in order to build or restore a healthy balance to a person's life. Medications that can change perception and allow adaptation to a challenging environment can be used as evolutionary agents that enable the individual sculpt the personality that he or she thinks is most suited to their adaptation and, eventually, success.
Pharmaceutical companies have access to enabling technologies that allow them to offer designer personalities in a pill.
The $100 billion question is: Do they have the will?

This Video Shows a Shocking Three-Minute Makeover Thanks to PhotoshopMonica Bielanko
A new video sheds a nearly blinding light on exactly how sinister retouching photos and videos has become.
It's a music video from Hungarian singer, Boggie. It shows the image of her singing as she is being retouched throughout the entire three minutes of the video, resulting in a transformation from beautiful woman to flawless, magazine cover-worthy seductress.
It's pretty timely, as there's been an awful lot of yippety-yap about Photoshopping lately.
From Lena Dunham's retouched Vogue cover, to the debate over whether Vanity Fair lightened the skin of "12 Years A Slave" actress Lupita Nyong'o in a photo featured in the magazine.
Why are we all suddenly pretending like we didn't know Photoshopping is a thing? It's been going on for years, yet it seems everyone is suddenly expressing surprise over the fact that magazines do crazy things to make their photos look insanely perfect.
Opinions range from those who think that any Photoshopping is flat out wrong and we should all learn to appreciate the human form au naturel, to those who think portraying fantasy beauty within the glossy pages of those high-end magazines is as much a part of life as death and taxes.
I don't have a problem with Photoshopping. In fact, I've come to expect it. It's important to expect it, I think, so I know not to flip through a magazine and allow myself any kind of desire to attain some of the impossible physical standards portrayed therein. Or I can choose to skip Vogue and view magazines that don't whittle the waists of waifs into non-existence. (Let me know if you know of the magazine that doesn't Photoshop, though, because I don't know where to find it!).
The point is, Photoshop isn't going anywhere and is, in fact, only going to get more technologically advanced. Pretty soon, elongated limbs are going to be child's play compared to computer-generated models being passed off as human, or far more insidious bone-chiseling subtleties some mad genius is cooking up on his or her computer somewhere as I type.
Virtually everything we see in media is a commodity of some sort, so I don't see a problem with someone striving to make their product look as good as possible, even if that means the final product is unrealistic. I feel like it's up to us to know the difference and educate ourselves on reality versus fantasy. That's why the video you're about to see is so important.
It's up to us as parents to impart this wisdom to our impressionable children. Tell our daughters who try to emulate the women in magazines that it's an impossible task not worth attempting. Tell our sons that these flawless women are not real and that this does not represent true beauty.
Showing them the video below is a start. As Jezebel notes, although it appears as though much of the retouching done as Boggie sings must be simulated, it still makes a statement about what's expected from female entertainers. It also demonstrates the fine art to retouching in bold strokes. It's easy to look at magazines or watch a movie and not be aware of all the work that has gone into the finished product, but it's something we should all keep in the forefront of our minds when viewing these mediums. Technology has reached a point where nothing we see is as it truly is.
