Caroline and Tim's Wedding
"I found Sweet Julia's when I needed a cakes for my October 2009 wedding. Her prices were slightly below her competitors and the pictures online were gorgeous so I thought I would check her out!! Our meeting was extremely well organized, her customer service was exceptional, she did not scrimp on the tasting cakes either - they were huge! She was very willing to offer advice, flavor combinations, design ideas -- everything. I decided to go with Julia because she truly "wowed" me! I made the right choice! My wedding cake was stunning!!! Everyone commented on how beautiful it was. She created gum paste fall leaves and mums for the cake that looked like real leaves and flowers! And... the room was so quite when people were eating the cake... because everyone was so focused on how delicious it was! Julia also made a custom groom's cake for us using the Pittsburgh Penguins logo for the design. She did a spectacular job recreating the logo and even added a beautiful gold cording on the outside of the cake. My groom was in awe of the cake and didn't want to cut it because he loved it so much!!! It was also.... unbelievable delicious!!! THANK YOU JULIA!!!!!!"

Hi All,
For those of you that have been around a few years, you'll probably think I am being boring by saying - wow, but wow!
It feels like my life is flying past twice as fast because I have two annual reminders of the years passing, my personal Birthday and the site's.
I want to - as I no doubt do every birthday - start by saying thank you. Thank you to our loyal members, those that have recently joined, and those that have been with us 2, 3, 4 .. up to 8 years. Without you guys NN would be just another site, but it isn't. It is a living community where countless numbers of people meet lifelong friends and partners every day. It's somewhere in the world where you can walk around naked and not be afraid that you are offending someone or breaking some exposure law. It is somewhere that you can find the real side of humanity - raw - and dare I say naked. Thank you all once again for making this place what it is!
A very special thanks too to the Mods, you guys are great, and I will endeavor to cater to your needs more this year - hold me to that.
The past year has seen some great changes to the site, Status Updates, My NN Gallery, New Profile Search, and the Mobile site to name a few. I would have liked to have seen more improvements but we are a very small team here, and all changes however trivial they may seem from your perspective are a big deal. Thanks as always to NN-J for his great work ;)
Let me make a promise, and that is that there will be way more changes and improvements in our ninth year of operation than there were in the eighth! We are going to "go nuts" this coming 12 months and really make a lot of great changes to the site. You'll see the first of these big changes within the next week or two.
We'll also be running a Birthday photo competition starting in a few days time for the rest of October - our birthday month.
Business wise it's been a tough year - everyone has been affected by the long drawn out GFC, let's hope that we all see an improvement this next 12 months.
I'd like to close by acknowledging those of you that took part in producing the Birthday video that put a big smile on my face this morning when I checked my PMs. Thanks guys and especially Masterstoy91 it was very thoughtful and I was touched! I'll be sure to put he video up where everyone can see it an link to it from here.
Once again, many thanks and Happy Birthday NewbieNudes.com!
All the best,
P.S Here is the video (windows media format) Click here to see the video!
P.S.S - If you love the site and really want to show your support then please consider upgrading to Premium!
|Friday, August 20, 2010, 1:29:33 PM- New Profile Search
New profile search is a really easy way of finding people to connect with. Great also for meeting up with NN'ers when you are travelling.
Here are some examples.
I can see from the search there are:
3,458 NN'ers in LA USA
3,099 NN'ers in Sydney, Australia
1,940 NN'ers in Toronto, Canada
22,285 NN'ers in London, UK (of which 2,515 want a fuck buddy!)
19,550 NN'ers in New York USA
744 NN'ers in Hong Kong
64,954 NN'ers worldwide that want group sex.
99,809 NN'ers that want a new friend
65,593 NN'ers that want an Affair!
This is too much fun.
Go Have a play yourself

After a year-long attempt to find new stewards, Peter Eisenman's House II in Hardwick, Vermont is reaching the zero hour. Devin Colman, the Architectural Historian for the State of Vermont, contacted Docomomo US this week stating, "the owner is willing to sell the house and 15 acres for $425,000 to anyone who will save the house. If it doesn't sell, he has a buyer ready to purchase it for the land only, demolish House II, and build a new home on the site. The buyer wants to close by the end of June so he can start demolition this summer."

6 Major Mid-Century Modern Losses in New Orleans
In 1955, Progressive Architecture's second Annual Design Awards recognized more buildings by architects from New Orleans and Louisiana than any other city or state in the nation.

United Nations Headquarters Campus Renovation of Facades
Nestled along the East River in New York City, the United Nations Headquarters has long been admired as the physical embodiment of global diplomacy and collaboration. Born from the ashes of World War II, the United Nations Headquarters was designed in 1947 by a collaborative, international team of esteemed architects including Le Corbusier, Wallace K. Harrison, and Oscar Niemeyer. The campus' resulting architectural achievements have endured as one of the most widely-recognized examples of 20th century International Style architecture, including the first glass curtain wall skyscraper in the United States.
Intervention Approaches at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin: A Preservation Case Study
As we approach Wright's 150th birthday in June, we can note that it has been fifty-eight years since the architect's death in 1959. 2017 also marks the 26th year of Taliesin's preservation-focused non-profit, Taliesin Preservation Incorporated (TPI), and discussions surrounding Taliesin's management and preservation treatment stretch back multiple decades. By looking at ways in which the buildings have been treated through time, it is possible to unpack some of the methods, means, and values inherent in preservation work, especially values specific to Taliesin and Wright's legacy. The site is a rich example that illustrates many ways in which a place can be preserved. This article will highlight just a few interventions manifest at this complex site.
Bertrand Goldberg: Preserving a Vision of Concrete
Over the course of this past year, my thesis work set out to evaluate the restoration and repair work done to the body of work of one particular architect, Bertrand Goldberg. His structures are dynamic works of engineering, characterized by monumental sculptural concrete forms and often designed with an exposed concrete finish. Recently, two of his buildings have been in the news; Prentice Women's Hospital lost its preservation battle and was razed in 2015 while Marina City was granted landmark status by the city of Chicago in March 2016.
Do You Know Gemmaux?
In 1953, the Chor-Bishop Mansour of a Brooklyn Heights church had heard whispers of a new French stained glass called gemmaux. Excited by the prospect of presiding over the first church to have all of its windows done in this style, Chor-Bishop Mansour Stephens of Our Lady of Lebanon promptly commissioned 10 windows from the artist that developed the technique, Jean Crotti.
Philip Johnson's Booth House Threatened and Seeks New Custodians
Philip Johnson's 1946 Booth House, in Bedford, New York is threatened and in urgent need of new custodians. Award winning architect and pioneering architectural photographer Robert Damora (1912 -2009) and his wife, architect Sirkka Damora, moved into Philip Johnson's Booth House in 1955 thinking of it as temporary housing until they could build a home of their own design. The spare elegance of the Booth House evoked a simple, informal, unencumbered life style that suited them: they never left. When you find environment that soothes your soul there is little motivation to move on. Now 62 years after arriving at the house, at age 93 Sirkka finds the rural life there difficult to manage physically, and she is financially unable to continue in the house. The house must be sold.

Advocacy Alert: Demolition Permit Filed for Providence Heights
The City of Issaquah has determined that demolition of the campus has no significant adverse effect—the Washington Trust strongly disagrees with this finding. We will be commenting on these documents and encourage anyone who values Providence Heights to also comment. Specifically, due to the size and significance of the property we encourage you to request that the City require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be completed. An EIS is necessary to appropriately investigate the full impact of demolition.

Vicente Del Bosque heads into tomorrow's
World Cup final with the sort of selection dilemma Fabio Capello can only dream
of: Torres? Fabregas? Neither?
The morning papers are rife with
speculation, and feature heartfelt, earnest appeals from both of Spain's most
lauded Premier League stars splashed across their back-pages, in appeals which
would make a pair of X-Factor finalists seem embarrassingly histrionic.
'Let me play!' screams Torres from the back
of the Daily Mail and Star, while the Daily Express has the Liverpool striker
calling it his 'dream' to play in the World Cup final.
The Mirror goes a step further, running
with the (rather wordy) headline 'Torres begs Del Bosque: Let me start in
greatest match on earth: The World Kop'.
The red-top has a 'Spanish source' on hand
to reveal that 'Fernando went to see Del Bosque because he fears he will be
left out. Fernando told him he is desperate to play and that he won't let him
After five lacklustre, goalless displays
for La Furia Roja, Del Bosque finally culled the underperforming Torres from
the Spanish starting XI ahead of the semi-final clash with Germany.
With Cesc Fabregas roundly expected to
replace the striker, Barcelona's latest prodigy Pedro Rodriguez was, instead,
called up to replace Torres, forcing Fabregas to make his own earnest appeal for
inclusion in Del Bosque's final squad.
The only tabloid to send a Torres-free back
page to print, The Sun instead screams 'Cesc: Please let me play.'
'I am desperate to play at least some part
in tomorrow's game,' Fabregas says in his column for the paper. 'It's
everything we dream of from the moment we start kicking a ball to the moment we
learn all about the world's greatest football tournament.'
However, The Times is on hand to douse the prospects
of both hopefuls, and suggests that Del Bosque will consign both Torres and
Fabregas to the bench, giving Pedro another chance to impress from the start.
Regardless of who starts for the Spanish,
they're still the papers' favourite to lift the trophy, and The Mirror and
Independent both roll out a gaggle of pundits to emphasise the point.
The Sun suggests otherwise, however, with
Terry Venables declaring that '(Carles) Puyol is the weakest link' in either
Venables accuses Puyol, along with centre-back
partner Gerard Pique, of 'playing more football than they should' and taking 'a
touch or two more than is necessary to put themselves at risk.'
It's not all Spain this morning, however,
with plenty of praised reserved for Golden Ball contender Wesley Sneijder.
The Star says that the Inter Milan
midfielder 'simply has the world at his feet' and 'he EXPECTS (sic) to land the
Holy Grail, the trophy that matters most and would catapult him and his team
mates to a legendary status that they can't begin to imagine.'
Meanwhile, the Independent suggests that
the Dutch 'self-belief', and the attacking trident of Sneijder, Robin van
Persie, and Arjen Robben is 'strong enough to deny the artists' of Spain.
The Mirror and Express acknowledge the
attacking talents on display in the Dutch squad, but turn their attentions to
the 'hatchet man' in the middle of the pitch: Mark van Bommel.
The former Barcelona 'clogger' tells the
Mirror 'I don't care how we take the title, as long as we do', and Graham
Taylor says in the Express that 'If Holland are to win the World Cup... Van
Bommel will have to be the linchpin'.
The independent goes a step further,
running with the headline 'Van Bommel sharpens his studs to greet former
(Barcelona) team-mates', and features Lee Dixon challenging Van Bommel to 'disrupt
Spain's pass-and-move football'.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf also picks Van
Bommel as the Dutch , depicting 'the engine of the team' Mark van Bommel as a
matador, and also heralds Maarten Stekelenburg as the goalkeeper of the
Spain's Marca has spoken to full-back
Sergio Ramos, who says 'we will play in the final for 46 million people. It is a great joy that the team helps people to forget their
hard times.'
Once again, Paul the psychic octopus gets a
worthy mention in newspapers around the world, with Marca declaring 'The
infallible octopus is clear: Spain to Win!'

GOP LG hopeful (and no one can say that he is not hopeful) state Sen. Steve "Not the Wild and Crazy Guy One" Martin took to the airwaves this morning to defend himself (and by extension the other members of the General Assembly running for LG who were also included on the mailer in question) against attacks that he was responsible for tax hikes in Virginia because he was a member of the legislature when they were approved. Never mind the fact that Martin and the others voted against them.
On the John Fredricks show being interviewed about the attack piece sent to [RPV convention] delegates, trying to blame me for spending increases I voted against, while hailing an opponent from Prince William as the hero – a budget cutter. One would have to be a stranger to the process to believe either thing. The record shows my "no" votes on the spending bills, and the Prince William record shows tax increases, which he supported. His claim of net tax cuts is based on a decline in property values.
This gets to an important issue. Let's say that your home value goes down from one year to the next and your county board changes the tax rate so you pay the same amount in taxes in both years. Percentage-wise, wouldn't that mean your taxes went up? After all, you are paying the same amount in taxes on something that is not worth what it was before.
Think of it this way. You buy something for $10 and pay 5% sales tax on it, which comes to 50 cents. Now let's say that same something is on sale for $5 and you buy another one and with 5% sales tax you pay 25 cents in taxes. If you were to pay 50 cents in taxes on both, the sales tax on the second item would jump from 5% to 10%. Then they say that because you paid $10.50 for the first item (5% sales tax) and $5.50 for the second item that was on sale (10% sales tax) that you got a tax cut when in fact your taxes went up and in reality you only paid less because the value of the item itself went down.
Is it any wonder local governments prefer the method of charging a set dollar amount per $100 in value rather than a set percentage?

My dog won't 'come', and won't stay near me when off leash.
At the off leash dog park for instance, he doesn't 'check in' like the other dogs do, and often runs to far parts of the park and won't come back when I call him. Other than this he is very well behaved. We've been to one obedience class, but this issue wasn't addressed. He comes when I call him in the house quite well (albeit slowly), so anywhere other than at home I reward with treats if he does come when called.
He also escapes our back yard all the time, which is fenced...but then just goes around and plays in the front yard (which is near the street, so I don't like this). Help please.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Have you trained a reliable recall??? I would suggest a good, positive based obedience class for starters.
A reliable come should never be attempted off leash until the dog is completely responsive and comes instantly while attached to a long leash. If you repeatedly call your dog to come and then do not follow thru by bringing him directly to front and rewarding him then the dog learns that come means nothing at all since he doesn't have to respond unless he feels like it. Until he is coming 100% of the time on leash, he should never be asked to come when off leash, especially when he is busy at a dog park. You are setting him up for failure by asking him to.
As to escaping the back yard, it sounds like, first of all he is bored silly out there. Do you interact with him when he is out??? I would suggest first fixing the fence before he ends up dead in the street and second spend some time out there with him so he has something to do and some positive associations with being

What is his behavior before you get to the dog park or let him outside? Is he super excited and wound up? If yes, make him sit and wait until completely calm, then let him in the dog park or backyard. He will learn he has to be calm to go play. Another issue is he may be not getting enough exercise. So, when he is at the park he ignores you completely because he is finally releasing all the pent up energy he has been saving. You can always try taking him on a walk before going to the dog park, or walk him there. This will help reduce his energy as well, so he will be more apt to listen to you when called. Also sounds like you may need to fix whatever hole/fence issue you have letting him get into the front yard. Hope this helps, good luck!
Wyatt answered on 4/8/10. Helpful? / 0
I think you should go back to the obedience class they require most of them that you have great basic obedience then once that is completed and approved then you move on to the hard stuff which is what you want the recall and sit in motion ect....
At least going through the whole thing then the dog will be that much better :)
Off leash is the worst and I don't promote off leash unless the area is fenced in completely with dogs you got to find the right motivation- is it cooked chicken, ham or beef, or is it a toy like a ball or a tug.
dog proof the fence how is he escaping. I see your concerns and they are valid. I say more training. You should get help on recalls and moving commands like a down which can all be done. I think rewarding him every time for coming no matter where he is-is the best thing to do. Even though I have had Bridget almost 2 yrs now I give her rewards for going to her crate each time. I reward her for anything she does that is good. It is a good habit to do.

The absolute worst deck sealer award of all time goes to the product with perhaps the most(ironically) advertising, which is...............
"Thompsons Waterproof Deck Sealer".
This is a parafin wax based sealer that actually peals off towards the end of the first season it is applied. I recommed avaioding this at all costs.
Anyone else have a painfull experience with this?
I've never had very good results with Thompson's. I always thought it was me.
My dad is the Midwest Sales Manager for the company that produces Zar stains and Drylok among other things and he's told me as long as he's worked there that the Thompsons stuff was junk. Don't even get him going on Minwax. :)
Previous owner had sealed our front deck with a product that did the exact same thing. It looked awful and we wound up replacing the deck.
I wish that SWP, now that they own Thompson's, would reformulate the product to actually work.
Oh, no...SWP isn't going to make it (thompsons) or anything
Just own it
Same factory, same formula
SWP's mission is market share
Thompson's still sucks
It is truly terrible, and has been for decades
The joke 20 years ago was "Thompson's...to make your new deck look five years old ...and you have to recoat it every year"
Nothing has changed
Thats why they advertise so much... Every other year ya have to buy it...
Thats why I have West Virginia Expoxy.... [concrete]
The only thing Thompson's is good at is marketing.
Yep. Thompsons' has no bridging capabilities and first hot cold/cycle it starts to break down. Garbage.....

If not Thompsons, what do you folks recommend?
I'm rather bias, but the Zar Deck Stains are nice. :)
Bay Area Painting Contractor
I second the Cabot recommendation. It's what we use on all our deck jobs.
Cabot or Sikkens
The Ben Moore alkyds aren't bad either
Deck Sealer and Stains
The number one reason a deck sealer fails prematurely is because the wood was not prepped properly, but with that said Thompson's is still junk :) as is Behr. You want to stay away from anything with silicone or anything synthetic in it. More information on Deck Stains.
I recommend a penetrating oil based semi transparent sealer. As far as products sold at the professional paint stores, I've had good luck with Deckscapes at SW and Olympic Max. On the other hand I've also used some contractor grade sealers like Wood Tux and Ready Seal with good results.

Best Cookware Ever
I purchased and received this cookware about a month ago. I couldn't be more pleased with the product. I read all the reviews and noticed there were several complaints of food sticking. I consider myself to be a good cook and having had many years of experience, I realized the complaints had to have come from those who did not "season" the cookware before using it. I took the time to do that and have not had one thing stick in the cookware. It heats evenly as stated and everything I cook in it cooks as if I'm using non-stick cookware. I have to say, I do not put it in the dishwasher or use soap on the skillets as I feel the detergents are too harsh for any cookware and ruin the finish. I have had several different sets of cookware that claim to be some of the best but this definitely wins hands down. The product was received very quickly and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Overstock.com for excellent service and an excellent product at an excellent price.Read More
These pots and pans are ok.
The pots and pans are beautiful. First time I have dealt with Stainless steel. Instructions do not include seasoning the pots and pans before use. Without it they do not cook very well. Food sticks even if you add oil to the pan. I found this information on the internet after a lady told me she had seasoned hers. There is a lot of extra care that has to be used on the cookware but I am sure that once I get use to it, it will not be a problem. At least they sit flat on my ceremic top stove.Read More
Great Investment
I bought these pots and pans as a set, and have since added a few extra pieces. They are wonderful to cook with. It is not hard to cook, food does not stick, you have to know how to cook with stainless steel. As far as clean up is considered, it is not a problem, you have put a little bit of elbow grease into it, but it is not a issue. I am so happy with this purchase. i can make the most perfect omelet without it sticking. You just add a little bit of butter. In regards to cooking, you should heat the pan a little then add the food. I usually cook on low or medium with these pans. They are well worth the price and think they should last a very long time. What are you waiting for , put your order in.Read More
great cookware set
i bought this set for my daughter in puallup, wa...she loves it..just needs a large potrack now lol keep these good buys coming overstock..the free s&h wasn't bad eitherRead More
Happy as a claim
This Cuisinart cookware set is awesome. I could hardly wait for my new shiny pots and and pans to arrive. I have a family of five and the 12 inch skillet and large size of the saute pan are most appropriate for fixing large amounts of food. I shopped around and Overstock.com had the best price for the quantity received (17 pieces). I wish Cuisinart would have included a Dutch over in the set. That would have made my set totally complete. I would have given the product an excellent rating except for the fact that the handles to the lids get hot and I have to use a potholder to remove when cooking for long periods of time. Nevertheless, I still love my new cookware.Read More

"I just received my order and love the pots. The smallest fry pan seems to have a defect on the bottom. There are scratches in a circular pattern that seem to be very deep. What can I do about that? I don't want to send back the whole set."
Hello Suzycakes, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
"I just received this cookware to use on my induction cooktop, but they did not work. I tested the cookware with a magnet, which I found to be the test if cookware will work or not on an induction cooktop, and the magnet did not attract. I do not have any need for cookware that does not work on my induction cooktop. Because the Q&A stated this cookware would work on induction cooktops I do not feel I should have top pay to return the cookware. Please advise.to"

No, it does not have non-stick coating. The outside is stainless steel.

Promotional Codes are the New in Online Shopping Trend
Whenever one shops online, he or she may found a box to enter a promotional code or discount code. This box usually skips our eyes but it is very important when you have limited money or desire to spend.
How to use the promo codes in variety?
The promotional codes can be redeemed when you check out from the buying cart and proceed to the final payment. The coupons/codes are very peculiar and distinct. They cannot be used again if used once. Once you have entered your shopping cart, add the desired items and check the 'coupon code' checkbox. This is available just at the end of all the items selected. You will be either having an existing discount tag or a code might have to be entered. This will help you take the process step ahead wherein the reduced price will be visible next. You can remove the item not under discount or enjoy the rest of the discount.
If the code is eligible for reduction of final amount; it will do so without any inconvenience but do check the discount code properly. If any discrepancy arises, you can mail the code suppliers for help or can use another fresh code.
Where to find promotional codes?
Most of the promotional codes (http://www.codesvoucher.com/
Be sure that the promo code is available for the product you select, sometimes there are selective choices specified. You should not end up paying more or be misguided due to lack of information.
You can also subscribe to the websites for exclusive discounts codes though the e-mails. Though you will be flooded by mails, but it will help you to narrow your approach when buying online.
Make sure the site you select should have enough reviews and accountability, for many coupons expire within no time or can be a hoax. Authenticity makes a lot of difference.

Approval Status
Approved August 2000
Treatment for
For the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Psychiatry / Psychiatric
Concerta is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant approved for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Its active ingredient is methylphenidate, and it is available as an extended-release tablet in four tablet strengths (18mg, 27mg, 36mg or 54mg of methylphenidate HCL). Each tablet is designed to have a 12-hour duration of effect.
ADHD has three characteristic symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Some patients display more symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsiveness, while others may display more symptoms of inattentiveness. Methylphenidate has been used to treat ADHD for more than 30 years, and helps increase attention and decrease impulsiveness and hyperactivity in ADHD patients.
Concerta was demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of ADHD in three double-blind, active and placebo-controlled studies in 416 children 6 to 12 years-old. The studies compared Concerta given qd, methylphenidate given tid over 12 hours, and placebo treatment in two single-center, three-week crossover studies and in a multicenter, four-week parallel-group comparison. The primary comparison of interest in all three trials was Concerta versus placebo.
Symptoms of ADHD were evaluated by community school teachers using the Inattention/Overactivity with Aggression (IOWA) Conners scale. Statistically significant reduction in the Inattention/Overactivity subscale versus placebo was shown consistently across all three controlled studies for Concerta qd. (from FDA Label)
Reported side effects of Concerta include (but are not limited to) the following:
Other side effects seen with methylphenidate include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, nervousness, tics, allergic reaction, increased blood pressure, and psychosis (abnormal thinking or hallucinations).
Concerta is contraindicated in patients with marked anxiety or agitation, glaucoma, or tics. It is also contraindicated during any treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
Concerta uses osmotic pressure to deliver methylphenidate HCl at a controlled rate. The system, which resembles a conventional tablet in appearance, consists of an osmotically active trilayer core surrounded by a semipermeable membrane with an immediate-release drug overcoat.
The mode of methylphenidate HCl's therapeutic action in ADHD is not known. Methylphenidate is thought to block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. Methylphenidate is a racemic mixture comprised of the d- and l-isomers. The d-isomer is more pharmacologically active than the l-isomer. (from FDA Label)
For additional information, please visit the web site of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. This national, non-profit organization offers fact sheets and other sources of information on ADHD.
The Concerta drug information shown above is licensed from Thomson CenterWatch. The information provided here is for general educational purposes only and does not constitute medical or pharmaceutical advice which should be sought from qualified medical and pharmaceutical advisers.

I'm selling this pot
$3, and buyer pays shipping
I never used this pot. I have too many and will probably never use it. The pot isn't the best constructed -- the lid fits on all four sides, but is slightly uneven. The body is about 2 inches wide. I'm guessing it's an 80s or 90s yixing pot. The maker is called Zhang Qinfen, nobody famous. Single holed.
First come first serve!

NINE British troops were injured in a "friendly fire" incident in Afghanistan, it emerged last night.
A British Apache helicopter opened fire on troops on patrol from 2 Para on Wednesday.
Six of the injured have returned to duty and two are stable and under observation in the field hospital at Camp Bastion.
One soldier is returning to the UK and is said to be in a stable condition. Next of kin have been informed, the Ministry of Defence said.
The MoD said the aircraft fired on a position that was thought to be held by enemy forces, but instead injured members of a ground patrol in Helmand province.
A statement from the MoD said: "On 9 July, at 12:27pm, a routine British patrol requested fire support from a British Apache when they encountered enemy forces near Forward Operating Base Gibraltar. After successfully engaging one enemy position, the Apache fired upon another position, which the crew believed to be held by enemy forces.
"However, in the confusion of a rapidly-changing situation and in what is a challenging environment, it would appear that friendly forces were mistaken for the enemy and, as a result, three members of the patrol were seriously wounded and six more were classified as walking wounded.
"The seriously wounded personnel were moved by helicopter to Camp Bastion medical facilities. An investigation is under way into how the incident occurred and it would be inappropriate to comment until that investigation is complete."

The last time I posted about this topic was three years ago, but it has remained near and dear to my heart (and high in pageviews). Tonight I would like to share with you the fruits of my labor, the mementos of my travels...my Vagina Dress collection
The first Google search result for "vagina dress"
This is the vagina dress that started it all. Prom 2009, never forget. It's literal, but also graphic and chic with the choice of black. The peekaboo pink lining is another subtle callback to the overall theme.
Color is of course a classic supporting feature of any vagina dress. A pink might trend too childlike or vulgar, but a deep red sends a powerful message
The strong shoulders and shiny pleather detail reinforce the message here: this particular vagina is closed for business.
Vaginas shouldn't be limited to the lower torso. If you love something, set it free.
When your silhouette is this obvious, you don't need to fall back on cliches like pink.
Rosanna Arquette here is sporting a modernist vagina. Very op-art. Her boots, meanwhile, are a tribute to sheepskin condoms.
The vagina dress knows no cultural bounds. Here are two Asian examples, from China's fashion week.
Sometimes the dress isn't itself a vagina, but is instead a stage upon which the vagina is presented. The curtains spread and there she is in all her glory.
I can't believe this is the only Versace piece I have in the Vagina Dress collection.
The vagina dress often has trouble integrating itself with its peers.
Love the vagina dress or hate it, you have to acknowledge the balls it takes to present such a thing as this and announce to the world that it is your vision. A denim vagina is thoroughly in the ironic/postmodern territory
Even more postmodern is a vagina dress without a vagina on it. This one leaves us dripping with the anticipation of our next cycle.
With vagina dentata this big, one might easily miss the bathing suit's true theme: ironic or crippling expressions of movie nostalgia among Gen X.
And lastly, no collection of vagina dresses would be complete without the ultimate feminist commentary on our phallocentric coming-of-age rites. They could pass as prom dresses or wedding dresses, but either way, these yonis are a breath of fresh, direct air in a world increasingly buried under the weight of nuance and irony.
