ANYONE who has no interest in the Rugby League World Cup has no imagination.
They look at the teams and see NRL players with Italian surnames playing for Italy, an NRL player with a Russian surname playing for Ireland and a player who can't get his name on a team-sheet anywhere playing for Wales.
Not me, I see possibilities everywhere I look.
Take Australia's opening match against England tomorrow night. The potential highlight there? Those lovely lads from South Sydney who all the mums love: Sam, George and Tom Burgess putting on their country's jersey and turning into complete lunatics.
There's something about English players who come out to Australia to earn our money, charm our women and enjoy our hospitality that makes them want to repay us by taking off our heads, grabbing our dangly bits and putting in the boot whenever they play our national team.
Way harsh? Two words: Adrian Morley. I rest my case.
Then on Sunday November 3 at 6am the Aussies go around against Fiji. Could be a long 80 minutes for the Islanders (given the way Fiji Time works it will last about three hours for them). The highlight will be watching Petero Civoniceva captain the land of his birth for the first time.
The Big Fella has given us so much enjoyment over the years, it'll nice to see his teammates pushing his wheelchair on to the field for what could be the second last game of his wonderful career. There will also be a chance to watch the Sims Brothers (or as I like to call them, Burgess Light) playing on the one team.
Australia's final Pool match is against Ireland. Best thing about this game is that it is being played in Limerick which presents the opportunity to say There once was a league team from Oz, who landed in Ireland because, the World Cup was played there, a long way from Mayfair, but we had to show them who's boss. Or not.
The big game in Pool B will be early Monday morning when New Zealand takes on Samoa in their opening match. It's a big brother versus bigger brother clash with the Kiwis red hot favourites but I for one will be hoping for an upset. Not because I've got anything against the Kiwis, it's just that by my reckoning the only way Samoa will get to play Tonga is if they both finish top of their pools.
And that is one game I want to see, even if it's just for the duelling war dances. (Although seeing Fuifui Moimoi trying to iron out Sia Soliola would be worth the price of admission).
Of course there's not much chance of New Zealand finishing second because they have the services of the greatest athlete ever to play rugby league and pretty much every other sport for that matter: the one and only Sonny Bill Williams.
When Sonny Bill pulls on the black and white jersey for the first match, turns to his coach and says, "Hey Bro, this is the one without the breakaways, ay" every New Zealander on the planet will be praying for him to have a whale of a tournament. Well, maybe not every New Zealander. You'd have to think that one Tohu Harris wouldn't be too devastated if SBW pulled a few of his rectus abdominus in the warm up.
So, all going to plan (and Sonny Bill playing up to the Simply Bloody Wonderful epithet bestowed upon him by his number one fan Gus Gould) Australia and England should finish one-two in Pool A, with Fiji pipping Ireland for the third finals spot, NZ, Samoa and France (edging out a Segeyaro-less PNG) from Pool B, and Tonga in a tight one over Italy and Scotland to snatch the one spot from Pool C.
Which brings us to Pool D and the real minnows of the competition, USA, Cook Islands and Wales. Where's the interest here you ask?
Well, for me it will be in the shapes of Michael Garvey, Lelaulotoa Tagaloa and Taylor Welch. Never heard of them? That's not surprising. You probably haven't heard of their clubs the Pennsylvania Bulls, Hawaii Chiefs and Chicago Griffins either, but they all play in the US Rugby League and the mere fact that they are taking part makes them among the most important players you'll see running around over the next month or so.
You just have to use some imagination.

Arlington Park: Wekiva Wachee, Yankee Injunuity unlikely claims
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Horsemen playing the claiming game constantly keep in mind a guiding principle: Run a horse for more than he's worth and he will lose, but run a horse for what he's worth and you might lose the horse. Shelters exist – safe havens.
One is age. An 8- or 9-year-old can repeatedly win at the same claiming level and not get claimed. "This can't last," rival horsemen assume. Another is price. Claims for $80,000 or $100,000 are rare. Even if a horse seems worth the money, he might not be by the time he has managed to earn it back.
Both dynamics come up in the featured third and fourth races Sunday at Arlington. The third, a turf sprint, is for second-level allowance horses or $40,000 claimers. Wekiva Wachee and Yankee Injunuity both are very competitive at the class level, but the former is 8, the latter 9. Yankee Injunuity has raced for a claiming price between $30,000 and $40,000 in nine of his last 10 starts. He's finished fourth or better in eight of them, and no one has claimed him. There are circuits with owners and trainers that regularly take chances on horses this age. Chicago isn't one of them.
Sunday's fourth, at 1 1/8 miles on Polytrack, has too many high-end allowance conditions to list without inducing sleep and also is open to $80,000 claimers. Three of the six entrants are in for the tag, and the 4-year-old Control Tower and 5-year-old Dad Are We Here look like they might be worth the money. There are circuits where owners regularly shell out that kind of money for a claimer. Chicago typically has not been one of them, but local trainers now must think twice about the prospect of actually losing a horse like this. Owner William Stiritz reached in and claimed Hogy for $80,000 last fall at Hawthorne. Last month, Hogy won the $150,000 Hanshin Cup.
Dad Are We Here, an Illinois-bred, might have won the statebred-restricted Milwaukee Avenue Handicap on April 27 at Hawthorne, but he got smacked around at the start, knocked way out of position, and his rally from 16 lengths down after a half-mile fell 2 3/4 lengths short. He has run well before on Polytrack, and – claiming dynamics aside – is a player in Sunday's fourth. So, too, is Control Tower, 2 for 2 over the local all-weather surface but unproven at Sunday's distance.
Both old-timers in race 3 also have viable win chances, particularly as closing types in a race that could be fast-paced. One interesting prospect, and not offered for a tag, is Falaah, a lightly raced 6-year-old Shadwell Stable homebred who makes his first start on turf and, as a son of Speightsown and a Dayjur mare, should like it.

La Cofradia Ceviche Bar Menu Preview
The quick recap: the food has gotten much simpler, with a fairly straight-ahead listing of about a half-dozen ceviches, tiraditos, and various combinations thereof (all priced around $13-15); several salads and cooked apps, including some traditional Peruvian causas, and a great pork and grapes dish which is a carry-over from the original menu; saltados (stir-fry?) with your choice of protein; and a number of other entrees all priced under $25. Plus daily lunch specials for $13.50. I often complain about "dumbing down," but if it helps a restaurant survive, in these times I suppose that's the name of the game. It'll be interesting to see if it works for this new incaranation of La Cofradia.

Beach Hats
Sun Hats With Protective Brims
Prepare for sunny days with brimmed beach hats that shield your face from the sun. Whether you choose a floppy sun hat with classic style or a sporty visor for protection against the sun's rays, you're sure to feel cool and comfortable. If you're planning on getting active on the sand, opt for a hat with a less pronounced brim to ensure a clear view as you spike a volleyball over the net.
Beach Hats To Fit Everyone's Style
You've selected your perfect warm-weather outfits, so complete your ensembles with a variety of sun hats to match. If you're going for a beachy vibe, check out wide-brimmed hats or fedoras for a laid-back look under the sun. Little touches of flair like beading, bright colors and patterns add a unique pop to any outfit. However, if you want to rock a more casual and athletic look, opt for summer hats like ball caps that deliver a dose of sporty style from beach volleyball to strolling the boardwalk.
Comfortable Summer Hats
When the sun beats down, make sure you're comfortable as can be in your favorite beach hats. Lightweight straw and paper sun hats help keep you cool when temperatures rise, while soft fabrics like polyester and cotton deliver reliable comfort. Check out hats and headwear with adjustable designs that enable you to customize your fit, so you can feel great all day long.

Hi, I would like to bring dessert to my brother's house for easter. I want to wow everyone. Any ideas, does not necessarily need to be themed or a cake, can be - but not necessary, something yummy and wow! thanks
For a get together a little bit ago, I made chocolate cheese cake and put it in chocolate cups- so easy, but looked really cool with chocolate shavings on top!
To do the chocolate cups i melted chocolate and the brushed the inside of the tinfoil cupcake wrappers. Then let them harden. I chilled them before pealing the paper off- just because it was easier since the warmth of my hands would make the chocolate softer. Then I chilled them while I made a no bake chocolate cheese cake recipe.
(I'm at work and don't have the recipe on me... but I'll post later if you want)
Then I just spooned the cheese cake in each cup- chilled; then topped with a bit of whipped cream and some shaved chocolate.
It looked so cool, and fancy, but was really simple.
I make a similar dessert, but I paint the chocolate inside very small paper bags, put them in the freezer, peel the paper off and fill with Irish Cream Mousse. I garnish it with an assortment of berries and everyone loves it! Let me know if you would like the Irish Cream Mousse recipe.
Rice crispy treats always go over big during the hollidays.
What about making your own cream filled choc Easte eggs and putting them in a little cup on green grass (piped) or on cupcakes? I saw a few posts on here re: how to do the eggs.
This recipe...right here....to die for....
Nutella and banana napoleons! Just get some frozen puff pastry and nutella and carmelize some bananas-very easy to assemble. YUM!
My favorite recent dessert find is called Luscious Almond Cheesecake. It was In a magazine of prize winning recipes from Taste of Home. If you like almond flavor at all, I honestly think it is a much better match for the cream cheese than the traditional lemon. I'd be happy to copy it for you if it's something you're interested in.
I always think those cake ball topiaries look really cool and especially if there are lots of people gathered together!
Maybe I'm just dying to make one LOL
My sister made a wonderful trifle. Bottom was crumbled brownies mixed with chocolate pudding, crushed head bar sprinkled over, then a layer of cool whip and reserved crumbled brownies sprinkled on top. She make it in advance and served it in a footed glass pedestal bowl. Looked awesome and tasted even better. She said she didn't have a specific recipe..
I'm a cheese cake fan myself. And since you can dress them up with fruit and other toppings you can really make it special.
I'm with Joanne1944-I love trifles, and they're a great way to use leftover cake. They are also very pretty and make a great centerpiece.
A lemony, strawberry, blueberry one would be very Spring-ish.
I also have a great recipe for a turtle trifle that uses a store-bought pecan pie, with lots of whipped cream and caramel sauce so it's quick and very, very rich tasting. (And just so you know, that's the only time I buy a pecan pie-home made tastes much better!)
Another thing I like to make this time of year is lemon bars. There is a glazed lemon shortbread I have made too that was oh so yummy and very springy.
I love cheesecake as well, I can not eat it, just a bite but they are very versatile. I made a plain one with honey crust not too long ago that was delicious. I also like the trifle idea, I think they look so pretty. That was not much help was it!?
Ohh, how about a tiramisu?
It's not the fanciest dessert, but my whole family loves strawberry pretzel salad. It's always the first thing gone. There are several recipes around for it, but here's the one I use:
I've been known to double the cream cheese layer, though!
We make a dessert at our bakery that is always a hit for a showstopper look and tastes yummy.
A chocolate fudge cake iced with chocolate buttercream, chocolate ganache over the top and drizzled down the sides, Chocolate buttercream rosettes on top and then we make shards of milk chocolate and poke them out of the top of the cake.
We call it a chocolate explosion cake
Strawberry Tiramisu
It's like a cross between tiramisu and strawberry shortcake! Omit the espress/coffee liqueur. Macerate sliced strawberries in a bit of sugar, juice of a fresh squeezed orange and a bit of orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier). Strain the berries and use the juices that come from the macerated berries to brush the lady fingers. Layer the berries and the mascarpone custard with the lady fingers. Use the zest from the orange to make orange whipped cream to top.
yummy the strawberry tiramisu sound great!! Gonna file that idea in my brain for the future!
Ok, easiest cake ever....take a loaf baked pound cake (lemon is especially good) and slice it into three layers. Now spread each layer with whipped cream, slice fresh berries on top of the whipped cream. Now reassemble the layers into the loaf shape. Now "frost" the entire thing with whipped cream and freeze for 30 mins before taking to the party. When you get to the party, if it's going to be a long time before serving then put it back into the freezer till about 30 mins before serving...if you will be eating right away then leave it in the fridge. Now slice into 1 inch slices...like bread...and the layered berries, cake and whipped cream make a wonderful presentation..and are SOOOO good!
My favorite cheesecake combo is lemon cheesecake in a gingersnap crust topped with lemon curd and blueberry sauce (like blueberry pie filling).
Hi there, I was thinking of making the easter cake with the m and m's on top surrounded by kit kats what is everyones favorite cake recipe? I have never done a red velvet cake so I thought of trying that is there a good recipe you recommend?
scratchdog... that style of cake should work with any cake you want to make. I made one last year using a cake a friend of mine had made in crappy pans from a non-doctored cake mix. The cake was not handled gently after baking, so it was kind of an issue to frost it before decorating it, but I was still able to make it work (it just took a lot of TLC). The actual decorating was pretty fast and easy.
As far as cake recipes that I personally like...
White Almond Sour Cream (WASC) cake is an extremely popular recipe that is posted in the recipe section of this site. There's also a document somewhere in the forums here that lists all sorts of variations people have made to gourmet up the WASC cake.
For a chocolate option, my husband really liked the Amazing chocolate WASC cake that I made around Thanksgiving. I paired it with the chocolate hazlenut buttercream that uses Nutella... both recipes can also be found in the recipe section on this site.

"It's the only hospital in the area, oh well"
About: Southampton General Hospital Southampton General Hospital Southampton SO16 6YD

What I liked
I came into the A&E Department with a gall bladder attack and was treated relatively quickly by the triage nurse. Was brought over to a bay to wait for a nurse and doctor. The nurse told me it would take an hour before the doctor could see me so she couldn't give me any pain relief. Thankfully the A&E Doctor popped in relatively quickly and was super pleasant. I got my pain meds (morphine) and some blood drawn. Unfortunately the only successful poke was for the blood draw, sadly my veins are so bad they couldn't start an IV.
Nurses were great.
What could be improved
The doctors need to stop talking over the patient and to the patient. I am an individual with a complex surgical history, I'm basically a chronic and have been since the day I was born. I am very well aware of what my medical situation is and did try to communicate this to the doctors. Sadly there is something odd about General Surgeons the world over (I'm from Canada and it's the same attitude from General Surgery there) but it's as if they act like little demigods. I informed them that since I do have a complex surgical history I would refuse to sign anything until a urologist was involved in the decision making process.
Maybe it's a culture thing, I did note that the other ladies in my room were very deferential to the doctors. Doctors are great, they do great things, but the ones I was dealing with seem to forget that the patients are the ones who are the custodians of their bodies.
I didn't like being pawned off when I asked approximately when my ultrasound would be. A vague idea would have been good, just so I can manage my expectations. I was told precisely 5 minutes before the scan that I was to go down. Lady in the bed over had a 3hr warning.
Anything else?
Consultants need to learn that they cannot do anything without involving the patient in the decision making process.
Response from Southampton General Hospital 4 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback about your recent experiences in our emergency department. We were glad to hear that you found the assessment process, pain relief and nursing care to be positive. However, we were sorry to hear about your experiences with the doctors looking after you and will ensure your comments about how they came across to you are fed back to the lead consultant for the area so that each consultant is made aware. If you would like to discuss any further aspect of your care or treatment with a member of staff, please do not hesitate to contact your patient support service on 023 8079 6325.

I was arrested by the police for shredding my lover's clothing with a pair of scissors.
'Fuck around on me? I'll show you,' I shouted while doing the deed on some expensive duds.
'Get out of my apartment,' my partner of five years shouted as he dialed 911.
The police came.
'But I pay all the rent, I ain't going. I bought all the clothing that I shredded,' I said to the police.
'Just leave for the evening,' they pleaded.
'Fuck that, I ain't leaving. Do you even know the situation here? We are lovers, we have sex together and we've done so for almost six years now. You can't make me leave like that.
Make him leave, he's the one having the affair,' I explained.
My lover Frank and the police stood there with their mouths wide open. They reminded me of a trio of blow up sex dolls.
The police cuffed me and whisked my ass away to the precinct. A night in the pound changed me but revenge was sweet. The central booking station in downtown Manhattan is frightening. Drug dealers share space with crazy homeless individuals, businessmen who beat their wives and those who graffiti subway platforms with stickers promoting new music CDs.
I was frightened and couldn't believe how my ass ended up there and now I was waiting to see a judge with the rest of bi-polar society.
Two cute Latino guys flashed a plastic bag with what appeared to be small white and yellow pills inside to capture my attention so I made my way over to the two thugs.
'Want one of these?' asked a ruggedly handsome man with a heavy Spanish accent.
'How much?'
I thought the pill would relax my nerves like a Vicadin. I rested somewhat peacefully in the cell between the arms of two new lovers. The three of us did not speak to one another. I simply allowed the men to rub their hands all over me. It felt downright blissful.
The cell was crowded with at least sixty prisoners and space was a minimum. The three of us huddled under a cement bench towards the back of the cell.
One of the thugs was obviously not into the sexual thrills of the drug, but the dude with a scar on his face and I certainly were.
The three of us had erections all night and made numerous trips to a water fountain next to a toilet without a stall within the corridors of central booking. We rubbed one another in bliss as the night passed so slowly for lonely spectators in the cell.
I didn't even think of Frank, back home trying to piece together a pile of torn clothing.
The relationship between Frank and I came to an abrupt end. Our separation was made possible through the orders of a court judge. I was thankful that the judge ruled down hard on my ass by issuing a restraining order.
I couldn't return to the apartment to claim my belongings or face a cheating lover. I could care less. I was left alone with only the things in my wallet and the clothing on my back.
But I was free inside a prison cell.
I resentfully went to my gym Crunch Fitness on Christopher Street and worked out, took a shower and wondered were I would spend my first night after being released from prison and a played out ex-lover.
I stopped to eat dinner at a cafe on Christopher Street, a small little espresso bar called 'The Original Espresso Bar'. At the time it was a place where one could still sit, sip coffee and puff away on a pack of Newports. I drank three bottles of Poland Spring water and two cups of coffee and didn't like the sandwhich a Mexican behind the counter made for me.
I headed off to 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue where a porn shop played host to one of the most fabulous features of modern Gay America the Buddy Booth. With the concept of the now extinct telephone booth, Buddy Booths are used for convenient conversations of sorts with those we lust. Plexiglass separates 'private booths' where with a dollar placed in a hungry slot, one has the power to lift the screens to the left and right. The most important feature of the booth does not work unless one's buddy shoves a dollar bill into the hungry vending machine as well. Not only does the dollar grant one viewing rights, but ninety-nine stations of porn are available. It's like having the Weather Channel on a Jet Blue flight.
Minute lovers each press a green button, the curtain rises and one has a few brief moments, a dollar's worth, to advertise deviant sexual acts .
Seduction is not as easy as it may sound. A buddy may not really know who is next door.
Porn watchers sometimes take a chance by pressing a green button and it's anyone's guess of what will show up when the curtain rises.
If a buddy does not do enough to seduce his neighbor, the curtain may come slamming down with the simple press of a red button. Middle Eastern men who run the joint allow for a three inch slot at the base of the plexiglass where one can breathe if necessary.
I stood outside the booths being cruised up and down like a wedding gown waiting for purchase by a blushing bride.
'Which one of you has a nice apartment in Chelsea?' I asked as if standing in a candy store.
I needed a place to bed for the night. My lover had me arrested with restraining order and I had no home. I went into a booth and heard sissies fighting in the hallway as they rushed to grab the booths next to mine.
In went a dollar bill and I pushed both green buttons waiting for either neighbor to take the bait. Both shades rose immediately and simultaneously. I dropped my pants and had two offers for free bedding that evening.
In hushed tones, both buddy neighbors asked, 'Hey dude, wanna come to myplace?'
Exhausted from a night of popping Ecstacy in prison, I reached down and grabbed the lure of a Black man with dread locks.
'Take me home, Daddy,' I whispered as the time ran out and the curtain came winding down in a Time Square porn shop.
He followed me outside as I left the porn shop.
I have always hated having to act street just to fulfill the image of my masculine body with a phat round bootie. But in
New York City, where bottoms outnumber tops twenty to one, one cannot let loose and become a flaming faggot when trying to find a roof over one's head and a nice stiff rod to cuddle up to.
All gay men like butch boys, very few are attracted to sissies like the ones found on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy.
'So, sup?' I asked in a deep masculine tone.
The Black man laughed hysterically.
'Sup wit you? I live in Harlem. Wanna come to my place and let me nail dat ass?'
I thought for a second and replied, 'Aight!'
Then out of the blue, without intention, I claimed, 'I'm hustlin' man. I need a place to stay and $200.'
'But of course,' said the handsome Black man with a bright smile and twinkle in his eye.
The two of us didn't speak on the subway ride to
Harlem. We both fantasized as both passion and potential danger lurked in the air. I never believed the Black man would give me $200 for sex while riding the train on the way to
Harlem to finish off what was started in a buddy booth.
'I'll be lucky if he and a group of his friends don't gang rape me,' I thought.
But we walked into his cozy apartment in Harlem without incident. Photography equipment was all over the place. Cameras and backdrops cluttered the apartment and empty bottles of Old English beer were in abundance.
The Black man handed me $200 from a wad of twenties lying carelessly on a coffee table. Shawn, the photographer drew me a bath.
I soaked my cares away. 'God really does take care of fools,' I thought while scooping up a handful of bubbles while listening to Sade album on the stereo.
We drank coffee, smoked some bud and looked over a pile of black and white photographs. I forgot about the $200 and asked Shawn if he would mind shooting a few artistic nude shots.
'You have to pay for the film,' replied Shawn. 'It's $100 a roll.'
'I'll buy two rolls worth,' I said as I bent over to spread my pretty white ass cheeks.
'Capture this image. It will live forever.'
Shawn the photographer put down his camera and reached out for the bundle of joy.
'Hands off! Let's be professionals,' I insisted as the crack on my ass smiled gleefully for the camera as the shutter clicked almost nonstop until the sun came up in Harlem.
The sun came up and I felt horrible. I needed more coffee immediately. Then I remembered where I was at the home of a buddy I bumped into in Times Square booth.
It all started to come back now the nude photo shoot under the lense of a mysterious photographer Shawn, a stranger I met in a porn shop in Times Square.
During the sexual escapade at Shawn's place in Harlem, the photographer took his clothes off too and handed the expensive camera to me to 'top' for a while.
I started to snap out of my manic behavior while the shutter on the lens fluttered away. 'You have no home bitch, what are you doing here?' I asked myself while taking close-ups of Shawn's torso.
Shawn was absolutely gorgeous, especially while standing in front of a large sheet of heavy white paper professional high quality back-drop paper, a cardboard like medium that rolls down like a buddy booth shade on 42nd Street.
Shawn had many high-tech photographry gadgets in addition to a professional back-drop. He used electronic devices similar to the ones stars from 'Star Trek' to communicate with me while posing on the big screen, in order to test for perfect light intensities. Strobe flashes added pizzaz to the love making and I felt just like a porn star while being photographed.
'What do you do for a living?' I asked while laying on my back and pulling my legs up over his head to expose what so many men had come to worship.
'I'm a photographer. I make my living through pornography, but I have dreams of becoming a real artist,' explained Shawn.
'Can you make me a star?' I asked.
'You are so much more than a porn star, sexy! But if that's what you want. Go sit on the white sofa by the fireplace and show me what you got,' ordered the potential publisher.
It was the best sex I ever had I realized that the next morning while looking down at the man sleeping in the bed next to me. Fuck Frank. He got a big dick, but it was nothing like Shawns! I can't wait to see the proofs on those two rolls of film, I thought.
The photo shoot ended with a make-believe snap shot of me pretending I was Marilyn Monroe with the wind blowing my trench coat up. After hours of freeze framing, the two of us collapsed on the white paper and fell asleep exhausted. We woke up a few hours later and crawled over piles of clothing to a bedroom and rested for what seemed to be an eternity on a water bed.
Shawn was still sleeping, but awoke from the lust of my stare. His body was like that of an African warrior slender, well toned and hung to the knees. He had a beautiful set of teeth, which I envied.
His long braided hair reached his shoulders. He looked a lot like a painting of an Afro-Centric Jesus.
The sex for sale game initiated on 42nd Street had blossomed into a full scale audition for Blue Boy magazine by the time the evening's festivities ended. The night of playing make-believe sex games was intense.
I have always been an exhibitionist, but the sexual photo shoot, man- whore escapade with a total stranger took me to imaginary heights I never before fantasized about.
Eventually we ran out of film but we kept shooting the camera for the sheer joy of posing in a sexually alluring positions. I knew we didn't use a condom but I wanted the photographer to see the image clearly and cum inside of me.
In the morning, when reality returns, it's a hard reaction that one faces as the repercussions of deviant sexual acts are coupled with fantasy role playing. 'Oh well, I probably had AIDS already from that prick Frank,' I thought while ignoring the possibility that I could easily have contracted HIV from a one night stand.
Shawn had come inside me on numerous occasions and bodily fluids were shared like weed that night.
'You know, I let you fuck me without a condom,' I said really pissed and still in need of coffee when Shawn opened his eyes.
'I'll make us some Starbucks Yukon Blend,' he promised while looking into my green eyes .
I jumped into the shower and prayed that I had washed all the potential germs away. 'Oh well, at least it's a roof over my head for now,' I sang in the shower while gliding a bar of Dove delicately up and down the crack of my hairy ass.
'Did I only imagine that wad of twenties on the coffee table last night?' I asked myself. 'This guy is loaded. He must have a lot of connections in the industry. I'm keeping him,' I thought,
I walked back into the bedroom and asked Shawn to put it inside one more time, while I was still dripping wet, from a morning shower in Harlem. There is something about sex while wet, that is just like photography when greasing the body up with baby oil. It felt so damn good. I was over Frank so fast.
'What's your story,' asked Shawn, somewhat genuine in his compassionate question, while I mounted the rock hard artist for the seventh time.
'Relationship issues, I've been put out,' I explained while reaching for my jeans, most certain that the stranger Shawn would ask me to leave based on my unfortunate, but all too common predicament.
'You can stay here if you want,' he offered.
'What do you do for a living?' the stranger asked as if shopping for a new lover.
'I'm a writer of sorts odds and ends jobs, but a lot of writing. I hate writing. It's a curse. It has always paid the bills, but it's really a curse,' I explained while studying all the high tech photography equipment while pickup up pieces of my clothing scattered all over the apartment.
'My writing cost me my last relationship,' I said. 'I'd rather be a porn star.'
'What do you mean?'
'Shut up and relax. It's none of your business,' I demanded as I squeezed my ivorycheeks and used my secret muscles within to trap yet another husband.
'Damn boy, you are fine!' shouted Shawn still stunned by the sheer strength of my inner-self.
I didn't believe him, so I started to put on my clothing and I let the $200 I had earned honestly lay on the coffee table. Shawn grabbed his appointment book and made a note while watching me round the corer of St. Nicholas Avenue and 145th Street in Harlem, out of his view.
'Met a cute white boy with personality and nice ass. Freckles on his back may expose well. Use glossy paper when developing negatives. Claims his name is Charles George Orwell.'

Before we left, we got something else to do. We signed up for a chance to try out passing an examination to be a Joseon guard.
As it turned out, well..I was surrounded by high school students who were more than eager to try this one out. I was beside myself...:) since...not many adults ( as expected!!!) were into this kind of stuff.
But..that didn't hamper us from 'enjoying' this act of valor:)*
Archery was one of the examinations we got to master.
After a 1.5 hour long exam, we got a photo session with the guards who helped us get through the *supposedly* rigorous test we'd ever been into.
And last ..but surely not least...a picture with our group's chief of guards. Oh, my friend, Ismail, managed to get a dip of lucky present since he managed to pull it off during an archery session. Bravo, dude.

The death of Lauren Bacall reminded me of a kinder, gentler time when actresses treated each other with respect. As when "Betty" Bacall was asked how she liked working beside "screen legend Nicole Kidman", after they had done two films together. "She is not a legend; she's a beginner," said Bacall. "What is this legend? She can't be a legend at whatever age she is. She can't be a legend, you have to be older."
She had a point. Legendary status requires longevity, and she earned it with a career that spanned eight decades. Kidman had only been making movies for a bit over 20 years! A mere child.
This started me thinking about the differences between great actresses then and now, and the worlds in which they work. Can we even compare modern stars with their luminous predecessors? To put it another way, do Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren, Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz (just a random selection) belong in the same company as Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo, not to mention Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich and Grace Kelly? There are so many to choose from.
I'm not talking about talent. There's never a shortage of great female talent. I am talking about opportunity, and whether the modern actress has the chance to become as great as the legends. It's a complex thing, but it boils down to two questions. Does the modern actress have more or less freedom to do her best work, and does freedom actually help?
The order in which I listed the first five – Kate Hepburn to Garbo – follows the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 stars of all time, 50 men and 50 women, from 1999. Hepburn and Davis at No.1 and No. 2 among women is supremely ironic. Both had a difficult relationship with the American public, and both fought savagely against the power of the studios.
Hepburn was "box office poison" in the 1930s. She won an Oscar in 1932 but most of her movies were flops, including Bringing up Baby. She refused to sign autographs and the press dubbed her Katharine of Arrogance. Yet RKO Pictures supported her, nurtured her and gave her good roles.
Bette Davis tried to break her contract with Warner Bros in 1937, because she felt she wasn't being offered good roles. The court case took place in London, and it's interesting to look at her grievances. Her counsel noted that she could be suspended without pay for refusing a role, and the period of suspension could be added to her contract; she could be forced to play any part within her capabilities and the studio could use and display her image in any way it liked. The studio contract was, in effect, "slavery", she said.
She lost the case and returned to Warners. Immediately, they gave her better roles, some of the best of her career: Marked Woman(1937), Jezebel ('38), Dark Victory ('39). Enslaved she was, but the work was fantastic. She was the highest-paid woman in movies, and she mostly chose what she did. She even had her own production company in the early 1940s.
Hepburn famously bought out her RKO contract in 1938 for $75,000. Her career took off when Phillip Barry wrote The Philadelphia Storyfor her soon after. It helped that her boyfriend Howard Hughes bought the movie rights, which allowed her to dictate terms when MGM wanted to make the movie.
My point here is that the top actresses of the Golden Age were not powerless, even if they were often unhappy with their terms and conditions. Nevertheless, they helped to burn down the house, by striving for more independence from onerous studio control. The boys were just as unhappy, and probably did more to end it, but that's another story.
To some extent, the studio system was already cracking, after David O. Selznick left MGM in 1935 to become an independent producer – which led to the huge success of Gone with the Wind. For actors, a major breakthrough came in 1943, when Olivia De Havilland challenged the terms of the seven-year studio contract – specifically the part that said the studio could extend her contract because of periods in which she was suspended. She won her court case.
The modern actress signs no seven-year contract, and she usually has a degree of control over her own publicity, at least once she has achieved success. No one forces her to do a movie. Most of the big stars have their own production companies and some generate successful projects. Some also become writer/directors, like Jodie Foster.
The question is, do they make better movies because of that freedom? I wonder.
The world is different. The market has changed. No actress has the hold on the public imagination that Bette Davis once did, because no-one has the same monopoly on our eyes. Women do have more power now as writers, directors and producers, but far less than men. Some actresses can greenlight a project – Angelina Jolie is one. But like the men, they often make bad choices, partly because the studios no longer weed out the stupider ideas.
In fact, the studios actively pursue the dumb options, because big loud action is the only way they can think of to counter piracy and the internet. Imagine Bette Davis walking onto the set of Transformers 5: "What a dump!"

Did you hit your hand on something or your nail lifted due to trauma, or this occured without a trauma?
If it's the first one then it is what it is - you just have to wait for it to grow.
Since the pic isn't of great quality, this could be the no.2 option - in which case it's fungi and you have to treat it medically.11|00|0
I can tell you its not fungi but i dont remember hitting it. I just thought it was cause I use to cut my nails a lot. How long does it have to grow before I can cut it? And I tried to take a better quality but my phone sucks.
I'm not a nail technician so I don't know the details. Maybe try to find one on here... or just go to a salon and ask... But keep in mind - you'll probably have to make an appointment and pay for it.
Thank you for the mho and good luck!

I have a theory about FNAF, which makes sense at least to me. In the first FNAF you play as night guard and four different (or five if you count in Golden Freddy) animatronics possessed by dead children are coming after you and try to kill you, right? Apparently a murderer stole a Freddy Fazbear suit, lured and killed five children. In FNAF 2, I think the animatronics are not yet possessed and the murders haven't happened yet (so it's a prequel to the first game). When you get the paycheck after you've beaten the night 5, it says the date is 11-12-1987.
The guy on the phone says that the animatronics are designed to stop child molesters (I don't remember which night he says that) and I think that is why they are trying to kill the night guard in FNAF 2. I think Jeremy Fitzgerald, the guy you play as, was the one who killed those 5 children. Once in a while in the game you get weird cutscenes and I think those are the fantasies Jeremy has. However, I don't think he's insane. I think the marionette that you have to keep asleep or whatever (with the musicbox), is the thing that made Jeremy to kill the children. When the guy calls you on the sixth night, he tells you someone had stolen a Golden Freddy Fazbear suit from the pizzeria. I don't think pretty much anyone, except Jeremy, could've stolen that suit. Also the bite incident happend in 1987. It would make sense that Jeremy molested and killed those children and sometime after that he got bit by one of the animatronics. The mini games also kind of explain some things and those games could also be Jeremy's illusions that the marionette made him have. I don't know the reason he or the marionette wanted these kids to be killed, etc. It's just a theory. Also it would make so much sense that FNAF 2 is a prequel from the first game, because the phone guy got killed in the first game. And I think the phone calls you get in the first FNAF are just some trick, a tape, or something like that and that the calls repeat week after week when the night guards change. So he might not even be alive in the first game at all. Also I'm very interested about the fifth murdered child, since there are only four animatronics.
What do you think?

"rang up to cancel grand daughters appointment"
About: Worcester Royal Infirmary Worcester Royal Infirmary Worcester WR5 1HW
Posted by wemmoss (as ),
The man on the other end of the phone seemed ok, I told him I was cancelling my grand daughter appointment as she was born with Downs and had health problems and its not wise to take her in this heat for just a check up about her glasses.The government had put out a warning about the heat in mid July so we were not going to take any risk with her she is 12 years old. At the end of the conversation he said to me just before he put the phone down ''we are all in the same boat with this heat''.
I and my daughter were not happy who does he think he is saying that when he has not got Downs he needs to think before he speaks.

For the 5th episode of Seattle by Sarah, my best friend Elizabeth and I brought Greg along for our annual downtown Seattle holiday tradition: each year, we meet at Pacific Place for the 6pm "Snow Show", visit the Gingerbread Villages at the Sheraton (and make a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), and ride the carousel in Westlake Center (and support Treehouse!).
This year, we added in a quick pit stop at Loulay, a fantastic French restaurant by Thierry Rautureau (aka "The Chef in the Hat") for cocktails, frites and crab beignets!
Watch this episode and join us as we get in the holiday spirit. You can read all of my holiday activity recommendations in a post I wrote a few years ago (recently updated to include making a trip Leavenworth!) and I hope you all have a very happy holiday season!
See you around town!

I swear, everyone on this site is always telling me to kill myself, why do you all want me to die so badly?
Most Helpful Guy
You know what. You are your own worst enemy.
I just went back and read 3 page of threads you created. You are so bloody antagonistic, full of hate, and self loathing.
Yes depression is a terrible thing to suffer from. A lot of people don't understand it. And you know what? Be happy they don't understand. Nobody deserves to or wants to experience the hell you and many others suffer through.
Some people try the "tough love" way of helping. It doesn't help. You know that. I know that and a hell of a lot of other people know that. accept it for what it is. An attempt to help. and move on. Don't start an antagonistic pissing match with them. You're only hurting yourself.
But quite honestly. People here have tried to help you. And in very few instances have you accepted it. Stop yelling at people in your questions. (all the capitals) easy off on the "FUCK YOU" responses. When you are doing that thread after thread after thread. What do you expect?
I saw that you tried therapy and didn't get any medication. Not all therapist Have the ability to prescribe drugs. Maybe you saw one of them?
Have you seen your doctor about this? You can make an appointment. Then after it's made ask your parent (s) to take you on that date and time. If they won't take you. Take a bus, a cab, ask a neighbour, walk. Just get there.

Hey guys. I was here for a while and people never really have a problem with me. I noticed that on some of my pastas and blog posts that my grammer is not as good as it should be. I am Japanese and English is my second tongue (Japanese is my first) so can people just bare with me if my grammer is not as good as it should be and if my grammer is kind of bad at times not to block me because English is not my first tongue.
Thanks Guys :)

Want-to-See TV
Rating History
Well, I can at least say that this is an enjoyable movie.
There is one thing I usually hate about movies like these. When it comes to romantic elements mixed with buddy elements, there almost always seems to be a scene where everything is made horribly awkward. I think the movie that turned that into an art form was "Meet the Parents" with Ben Stiller. Until that movie came out, I never felt so awkward in my life in place of someone else. Yes, "Meet the Parents" was nothing but a big huge bag of awkward, but for some strange reason there was that final blow that shoved it into overdrive. Throughout the entire movie, after I had been embarrassed enough for the main character who has such a hard time making male friends, I was anticipating to the most awkward moment in movie history.
It never came. It was a bit of a relief but at the same time it was slightly disappointing.
I think the movie was going for more of a realistic feel to capture the audience. We can all relate to these characters because we have either been in a situation like them or know the same people they do. However, there are characters (such as the jerk who throws a temper-tantrum whenever he loses) that just got on my nerves. There were moments in the movie where things seemed more annoying than funny because they were delivered by characters who's personalities I did not like. Not to say the movie isn't enjoyable. I think it is a decent offering. However, I was not in line to see an awkward movie. I was hoping for pure drive humor, much like "Role Models" where the gags were so outlandish that we could never picture ourselves in those situations.
I guess the problem with the movie is that it was too "real" for me. I identified with the characters, which is good, but they were in incredibly awkward situations the entire time. What use is aligning yourself with the character when you are going to feel embarrassment for them? Especially when it is meant to be a comedy?
Nonetheless, I recommend it. I think it is worth a look.
This...is a bad, bad movie.
It is very hard for me to not like a movie, and even then, in some weird, strange way I enjoyed this flick. It was so awful that I had fun making fun of it, and that is not saying much.
Everything about this movie is awful with the exception of a few fight scenes that are well-choreographed. Even the starting monologue is horrendous with a somewhat cheerful yet wistful Chun-Li recounting her life's story. Next, we see the abduction of her father. I remembered being slightly impressed at that moment, but then it gave way to nothing.
Chun-Li has grown up and one day she gets a strange letter and she suddenly had this strange compulsion to go digging around into ancient history and look for her father after her mother conveniently dies because she just "somehow knows he's alive." So, she moves to Bangkok and leaves he rich and previleged life behind because some old man said she needed to be a homeless bum to find some dude that might help her. Maybe.
It is probably a good amount of time into this movie and I had not seen a decent fight scene yet. This was probably the only part of the movie that had me move up a little in my seat. Chun-Li spots an innocent man getting beaten up by thugs and she intervenes. The fight scene is very good, but I remember being impressed by this scene alone.
Guess what? Turns out that the man who got beat up was the bum she was looking for! HOO-FREAKIN'-RAY! She instantly goes and lives with him and finds out her kung-fu sucks and that he is somehow way better. The way we discover his power is by way of cheap special effects that should have been scrapped. I laughed as her mentor, Gen, produceds a ball of chi as chessy as special effects can be.
Listen, I'm just going to get down to brass tacks here. The worst actor in this movie, by far, is the male cop lead. He is awful. He makes you hate the movie and every line he speaks is a pure annoyance. Even Micheal Clarke Duncan has let me down in this role. I'm thinking that all the actors were either high, or they were purposely doing poor because they knew this was a "B" rated script.
Maybe, someday, this movie will be a cult classic in the way that the first was a cult classic. But it is going to take many years for that to happen. Until then, save your money and let this movie die quickly so that we can make room for better movies at our theaters.
I was lucky enough to have the time to attend an all-day movie marathon at the theaters. It was pretty amazing: $25 for five Oscar nominated movies with bottom-less soda and popcorn. Life couldn't get any better.
After getting settled I had to watch three movies before I got to the coup de gras. First it was "Milk", then "Reader, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and then "Slumdog Millionaire." ("Frost/Nixon" followed and it was a great movie too).
I never heard a thing about this movie. In fact, with the exception of "Benjamin Button" I had trouble remembering if I even heard about the others. So, I went with my friend and his family not knowing what to expect. When it finally came to "Slumdog Millionaire" I was constantly on the edge of my seat.
I think to fully appreciate the movie, the viewer must have been outside the U.S. at least once. I lived for some time in the Philippines toward the Negros Occidental region so I can say with authority that this movie was very realistic. The filth that is prevailant in third world countries brought back memories, along with the people who are happy regardless of where they are. The myriad of colors and the crowded and busy life of the city was what I experienced whenever I had to resupply in a big city. The setting is very realistic and is every bit what you would see in a third world country.
The characters are likable and complex. The children echo third world children who face perils everyday but are somehow enlivened by it. The activities they did in the movie where what I watched some children do in a run-down basketball court.
But enough about my memories. Let's talk about the actual movie and story a bit. I really enjoyed the setup. It left me wondering where the story was going to go. Also, it was a great way to show how our character grew up and how his relationships with all his friends and family changed over the years. I don't think there was any moment within the movie where I had to tap my foot impatiently and beg the movie to continue. The movie was quick and to the point, rapidly bringing us up to date as to why the character is in his peculiar situation. It is simple at first glace, but then we are slowly exposed to the love interest who seems to take precedence over everything that involves the young protaganist. (Including his jealous, yet caring older brother). I've already written too much. Just go see it. It's worth it. I promise.
If you see only one superhero movie this year, I hope you plan on seeing this one.
"The Incredible Hulk" is definitely my favorite superhero movie this year, and that even puts it above "Iron Man". That is no small feat to put a great movie like "Iron Man" into second place and here is why: while "Iron Man" was great in its humor and pleasing to those looking for entertainment, "The Incredible Hulk" has a darker tale and is more suspenseful.
The movie opens with our main character (Bruce Banner played by the great Edward Norton) avoiding the United States Army while searching for a cure for his radioactive poisoning. Although the past is not explained to us, it is revealed at such times where those who are new to the story are hit hard by the facts. Oddly enough, I thought the action scenes where Banner was human were more intense than when he transformed into the Hulk. I loved the Bourne-like chases through the university and Brazil and thought it was very well done. At points I even cheered on one of the villains as he took on the Hulk as an ordinary man...yeah, he was doped up on super-soldier juice, but it was a sight to watch him battle the Hulk with duel pistols. That scene even beats the final fight when he is fully transformed.
Any case, while "Iron Man" is great in its own right, I think those who appreciate a movie with a more serious tone will find "The Incredible Hulk" to be more deserving of your attention. In "Iron Man" the man character enjoys his powers with child-like glee while Bruce Banner is tortured by his inability to control his dark side. Bruce Banner makes for more of an interesting character in my humble opinion...
This is probably the only shakey camera movie that I love to pieces so far.
I do have my gripes with the movie. It has been quite a while since I saw it in theaters, but I do remember going in and wondering what odd creature the protagonists would be facing off against. The opening credits started in lieu of military footage and I was on the edge of my seat. It was a freaking awesome idea and sent the idea across that whatever happened in this movie was in the past. And that it was freakin' [i]important[/i].
However, then the footage begins to show and we see these everday people doing everyday things. I remember I sat in my chair, my arms folded, my foot tapping, waiting for something cool to happen. It seemed like ages which probably turned out to be something more like twenty to thirty minutes...The opening is important in the director's view since it lets us know the relationship with the characters and gives them a base from which they may develop. A smart move for character development which would prove to help out later, but a bad idea for people who wanted to know the answer to the mystery. Their was no anxiety...there was only boredom for the first part of the movie...but then, freakin' catastrophic gold hit in the form of Lady Liberty's disembodied head.
Once the movie starts up it just doesn't quit. You are involved in events that have no explanation. You have no idea what is going on and you find that you yourself would act the same way the characters do in such a situation. The shakey camera gimick, in this case, is incredibly effective in its presentation. The direction and its pacing is incredible as well. We learn very little, very slowly, but the action is so unrelenting that we don't care. We are caught up in the struggle for survival in a world gone [i]flippin[/i]' nuts. It's interesting that I hated the characters and found them annoying at first, but then I grew to like them as they went through the whole ordeal. It made them seem more real, seeing that I think we can all agree that we hate annoying teenagers (or lower twenty-something folks) who think only of themselves. Ah, but I kid. (In most cases). Through their adventure they become something amazing. It really helps that the actors did a FANTASTIC job as well...especially in a movie that had to make a PG-13 rating.

I have an order to put pink converse tennis shoes on 5 dozen cupcakes. Anyone have any idea where I can get some sort of cutter for these that would be small enough to put 2 on each cupcake?
I've been searching the internet but all I'm finding is very large JEM cutters or 5" cookie cutters.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!!
There's an tutorial in the templates that gives you the pattern layout to make them. Not sure of a cut out.
Could you not use fondant discs and paint them on? I had a similar problem with cat in the hat cupcakes, recently, I decided to do them flat as 3D would be a ridiculous amount of work!

I was a call girl, a hooker, a lady of the night.
I was very expensive, and
you didn't just get sex from me, you got company,
a massage, whatever made
you feel good. Sometimes my clients even became
Well, I had a client called Todd. Todd was a
very Noo Yawk kind of guy. He
had lots of celebrity friends and lived in a condo
in Beverly Hills. And I
always liked hanging out with him. He was a
nice person, a good lay, and he
was fun to be with.
One night, I was hanging out with Todd. He had
another working girl sent over,
one he didn't know that well. Then he told me
he had a surprise for me. The
doorbell rang, and he let in this beautiful girl.
She was tall and obviously at least part asian.
She was dressed in an outfit
straight out of Fredricks - clingy, short and yummy!
It clung to her slender
curves like it was painted on. Her nipples pointed
through it. She wore these
tall sexy high heels, her dark red hair was long and
wavy. Her lips were full
and she had high cheekbones.
'Courtney' Todd said, using my working name 'meet Teri'.
And he went into the
bedroom with the other girl leaving me with this vision.
'Todd told me about you' Teri said in a husky voice.
'He told me you like girls
And with that, Todd must've turned on music, 'cause
here was the most beautiful
girl in the world, dancing and gyrating for me.
She gave me the sexiest smile,
and I melted as she looked deep into my eyes, opening
the tiny buttons holding
the dress taut across her bosom. She kept looking
at me and moving her hips as
she pulled the dress off. She was wearing a
t-back and a bra - definitely
professional stripper-wear.
She took off the bra slowly, rubbing her perfect breasts
and pushing them
together. Yes, she had had a boob job, and no,
I didn't care. It was very
well done - the shape of her tasty titties was perfect.
When she exposed the nipples for me, I was getting
pretty excited. They were
pink and hard and small, and I wanted them - me, a
pro hooker! But I just
watched and waited as she pinched them and squeezed
them and shook her boobs
and ...
She was great! She stroked her inner thighs,
parted her legs standing high on
her heels, arched her back. I have never before
or since seen a woman move
and tease like she did. She stood with her back
to me, her taut buttocks hard
and firm, very rounded. Her hips were wide and
flaring, and very feminine.
And then, finally, when my hormones were running,
she took off her t-back.
She had the prettiest cock you ever saw! It wasn't
enormous, but it was a
perfect shape and color. I've seen a lot of
cocks, and many of them aren't
very attractive. But hers was nice, a very feminine
any sense, but it was. And I have no idea how
she hid it in that t-back!

Our website will be undergoing scheduled maintenance for 2-3 hours at 10:00pm on Friday, May 26. You may experience some issues with our site during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
From the historic Gustave Eiffel-designed Combier Distillery in the picturesque town of Saumur of France's Loire River Valley comes the very exciting first offering from a new outfit dubbed Sweetdram. Escubac is a reimagining of the quintessential French liqueur that was, for generations, as ubiquitous as the baguette. It's made with a base of neutral sugar beet alcohol and the team slowly brings the distillate down to an ideal macerating proof as a canvas for the exotic recipe of botanicals that includes caraway, bitter orange, cloves, nutmeg, licorice, green anise, cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, lemon peel, and more. After distillation on the rare egrot pot stills, the spirit is left to rest for a few days as it naturally picks up its chartreuse-like color from an infusion of saffron. The strong notes of baking spices, brine, and medicinal plants and herbs make this an ideal alternative to gin for any tonic-based drink, as well as a choice partner for mixing with sparkling wines, citrus juices, and much else. This is a drink of the present and future by way of the past.
Calling all Mixologists! You're about to discover your new favorite "secret ingredient" in the form of Escubac. It's spicy, herbal, and fruity. Colored by saffron and sweetened by raisins, this liqueur is masterfully loaded with a perfect balance of carefully chosen botanicals. I wish this liqueur existed sooner!
The guys over at Sweetdram have a passion for satisfying the modern palate while drawing inspiration from classic recipes. They pride themselves on transparency, so if you're curious about the ingredients, they can all be found online. "What do I do with it?" I knew you'd ask. Escubac would serve as a perfect gin alternative to put an exciting new spin on your favorite cocktails. Enjoy it with tonic and a twist. Heck, pour it in a glass on its own. If you don't try it, you're simply missing out.

PHILADELPHIA The Penn men's and women's swimming and diving teams are headed to Cambridge, Mass., to swim against Harvard for a combined dual meet on Saturday at noon.
The Quakers recently arrived back from a trip to Florida that included the Florida Atlantic Invitational, where both teams finished first. The men dominated the invite finishing with 830.5 points, more than 200 points higher then the host Owls who took second. The team welcomed back senior captain Chaz Maul to the pool following an injury that kept him from swimming the early part of the season. The women's meet was a tighter race, but it was still the Quakers who ended up on top with 622 points.
Ivy foe Brown was also at the invitational, which counted as a dual meet between the two schools. While the men were able to take both the invitational and the dual (195-105), the women were unable to capture the dual meet, as the Bears edged the Quakers, 159-141. The women's meet came down to the final race, the 200 freestyle relay, and it was the Bears who took first and third to capture the win.
The men's team currently posts a 2-2 dual-meet record against Ivy League teams. The Quakers fell to Columbia (170-128) and Princeton (175-125), while capturing wins over Cornell (189-111) and most recently Brown.
The women's team is 1-3 thus far, which does not accurately portray the success the Red and Blue has had. Both the Columbia meets came down to the final race, where Penn's opponent was able to capture the win. The Quakers' lone win was vs. Cornell (205.5-94.5).
Both Crimson teams are currently undefeated in dual meets, both capturing wins over Dartmouth, Cornell and Columbia. In addition, the men's team most recently picked up a win against Navy.
