got it for the bottle, which is amazing. the vodka is good - nice and smooth, although there are nicer vodkas on the market (I prefer DQ or uluvka)
Very good vodka even better bottle will get more
First bottle of vodka I have bought and first I have drank. Lovely and smooth. Bought for the bottle and very happy with the contents too.
Just finished my bottle and I plan to use the empty to serve pre-turkey cocktails from on Christmas day. My other bottle is in the fridge to serve neat later on. Class!
I'm not a fan of vodka, but this stuff was good - admittedly, good straight from the freezer. I literally only bought this because of the Aykroyd factor, as well as the bottle itself. I'm getting three for different spirits. It's worth it for the bottle alone - the free shot glass is phenomenal. Just get it!

Inspiration - old
Modern Urban Mystisism
Jewelry design was not Pamela Love's original path. She received her BFA in Experimental Film and Art Direction from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. After graduation she worked as an art director and painting assistant to renowned painter Francesco Clemente. Her background in cinema and the arts continues to inform her designs.
Pamela Love's creations are deeply spiritual and intuitive. She is heavily influenced by astronomy, astrology, alchemy, botany, the American Southwest and the architecture of her home, New York City. While her inspirations are steeped in American folklore, she also incorporates traditional tribal artisan patterns from North Africa, Mexican folk art, and medieval European iconography into her designs, resulting in her own immediately recognizable aura of modern urban mysticism.

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton

For all the Eli Manning talk, and rightly deserved, the key to the New York Giants victory sunday was Ahmad Bradshaw.
The 7th round Marshall product changed the game giving the Giants offense the speed it needed to open up the running game that would eventually lead to the short-passing game that Manning perfected throughout the game.
On the first three drives Brandon Jacobs, the team's number one running back had four carries for negative three yards. His worst carry, one that saw Barrett Ruud fly into the backfield to take down Jacobs for a four-yard loss was indicative of the way the game could have turned out. Tampa's defense was too quick and used a swarm tactic to ensure Jacobs could not get off tackle where he has had so much success turning up-field.
Instead of abandoning the run, or continuing to force the slower Jacobs into holes that were not there, the Giants and coordinator Kevin Gilbride, realized the way to counteract a speed defense is to bring in a speed running back who has enough power to utilize his speed to get to the outside and than use his power to break tackles.
Enter Bradshaw who had a good first drive with an 8 yard-run and 9 yard-catch before breaking down the Buccaneers line as the sole runner on the 15 play 92 yard drive that sealed the win for the Giants.
In this day of scouting and combines, it is simply amazing to me that Bradshaw fell to the 7th round, but maybe scouts should be watching a little more youtube instead of 40 times and verticals. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JxsvvXfSTNY)

Car trips with your family are a comedy film in the making. There will always be someone who doesn't want to go, someone who's overexcited, someone who's pouting over an argument or lost battle (No! I want to sit in the front!), and someone who's trying to make the best of the situation (Hint: dad)!
Whether it's a planned trip or an impromptu one, a road trip with your family will always leave you with plenty of stories and utterly unforgettable memories.
Phase 1: Packing Panic
In the beginning there's always the issue of everyone packing in a desperate attempt to depart on time, and that's always tougher than you think it's going to be!
"We leave at 7!", is the decision made the previous night, when spirits are high, but come morning, people are dragging their feet, lugging overly packed suitcases down the stairs and snapping at each other in a half-awake daze.
Phase 2: Bitter Beginnings
Once you are finally on the road, family members turn into insatiable clients at the exact same time... Demands for toilet breaks and snack breaks and photo ops are unending, and everything becomes a debate- from deciding what route to travel to how cold the AC should be.
This is why taking a large, spacious car like the Honda BRV is essential- so at least space is never a bone of contention, and everyone can sit in whichever row they want.
Phase 3: Music Mania
It wouldn't be a road trip without an disagreement about what music to play.
From old Bollywood tracks to new generation EDM, everyone's music tastes differ to the point where one sullen kid eventually gives up and just puts on his/her earphones. Many times, the only solution is to put the music off and talk to each other or just enjoy the drive.
Eventually though, there's always that one song that everyone knows- like a mellow old Beatles song, or one of Sonu Nigam's greatest hits that the whole family likes and sings along to, making it that perfectly cheesy Kodak moment.
Phase 4: Food Frenzy
One of the most controversial things are when you stop for food and there's the massive discussion about which highway restaurant to eat at, what to order, how much to order, and whether to led the kids run amok and buy chocolate to their heart's content because it's supposed to be a 'fun trip' or be strict.
There will always be the alarmist who keeps looking at their watch and freaking out about how much time is being wasted off the road.
They'll eventually get their way and you guys will troop back into your big beautiful car, only to be annoyed a couple of minutes later by someone who suddenly remembered they need to use the bathroom.
Phase 5: Destination: Delight
After a while though, when you're closer to your destination, and you've reached the serene part of the drive where you start to see the mountains or the beaches in the town you're visiting, everyone begins to like each other again and just calms down to enjoy the view.
Each member is snuggled into their own corner of the car, and slowly they begin to unfurl themselves and collect the paraphernalia they've spread around- from chips packets to earphones.
The whole family is full of excitement, and can't be bothered to pretend they aren't loving every minute of their time together.

CAPE MAY - The U.S. Coast Guard is theorizing that a collision with the ocean floor caused the damage found on the Lady Mary.
That "is the thinking we're on," said U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Kyle McAvoy, who is heading the inquiry into the sinking that killed six Cape May County fishermen.
But McAvoy cautioned the final report on the March 24, 2009, accident is still several months away and said reasons for the sinking may never be fully known.
"Will we ever know the exact answer? No, but we'll have some good ideas. We hope to get that (final report) out in a couple months. It will be based on a preponderance of evidence that this is what we think happened," McAvoy said.
But the owner of the Lady Mary and a team of scuba divers who documented its wreck about 65 miles off shore still believe the 77-foot scalloper was damaged in a collision with another vessel.
An attorney for the Lady Mary's owners said he has seen the Coast Guard's preliminary findings. Steve Weeks, an attorney for Smith & Smith Inc., the owner of the Lady Mary, said the Coast Guard's findings discount the possibility of a boat collision and focus instead on mechanical problems.
Weeks believes a boat collision, possibly with a cargo ship, caused the damage and the sinking.
"They've done calculations and determined the damage was done when the boat hit the bottom. It's so off base it's unbelievable," Weeks said. "The divers thought it was hit by another vessel, and I agree with them. Damage wasn't done striking the bottom."
The boat, which lays in about 210 feet of water, has major damage to the rudder, propeller shaft, stern ramp and other components.
The sinking claimed the lives of Lady Mary owner Timothy Smith, 37; his brother Royal Smith Jr., 42; Bernie Smith, 58, the uncle of the Smith brothers; Frankie Credle, 57, a cousin of the Smiths; Frank Reyes, 42; and Jorge Alberto Ramos Arteaga, 23.
There was one survivor, Jose Luis Arias, 57, a Mexico native who was sleeping when the boat started taking on water. He was able to put on a survival suit and was rescued by the Coast Guard several hours after the sinking.
Arias does not speak English, but in May 2009, he testified before the Coast Guard's Marine Board of Investigation using an interpreter. He said Tim Smith woke him telling him the boat was sinking. He said he waded through a flooded passageway and galley to the deck but found the crew in a state of "panic and desperation." Arias said the boat was listing 30 degrees to port. Royal Smith was at the wheel trying to maneuver the vessel. The engine was running, but the boat was not moving.
McAvoy, however, said Arias has been unable to explain what led to the situation to which he awoke.
"He doesn't know what happened. We probed him for hints but didn't get much due to the language barrier and the panic of a high-intensity situation," McAvoy said.
Weeks said the Coast Guard investigators have not been open to possible explanations that do not fit with their theories for the sinking.
"They started with a preconceived notion it was stability and continued with that notion. They disregarded everything that didn't fit that notion," Weeks said.
He said the report raises concerns that the Lady Mary had leaks, allowing water to come in. Questions also are raised about the hydraulic system.
The report also questions whether the rudder, found with heavy damage on the ocean floor, broke on the surface and left the Lady Mary "foundering around," Weeks said.
McAvoy said the Coast Guard believes the boat had leaks because photos of it on the ocean floor show a hose line linked to a bilge pump going to open hatch in the stern.
"It was rigged to be pumped down," McAvoy said.
Weeks discounted this as a major factor.
"It takes a hell of a long time for a slow leak to sink a 77-foot boat," Weeks said.
The rudder also remains an issue. A team of divers last year said rudder damage points to a collision with another vessel. The rudder was retrieved and has been tested by the National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB. The final report is not out but McAvoy said preliminary data found no evidence of a collision.
"We didn't find things along those lines but the rudder does give us a lot of information and we will address all of that in our narrative in our report," McAvoy said.
Weeks said if the rudder failed on the surface it would not compromise the hull or sink the boat.
"The boat could float indefinitely," Weeks said.
McAvoy, however, said given the rough weather, with winds of 25 to 30 knots, and seas as high as 10 feet, losing steering could have led to the vessel getting swamped by waves. He noted Arias testified he walked through knee-deep water as he made his way through a port-side passageway.
"If they take a wave with the access hatch open, then they are flooded. Then other waves would come. You've got a big boat sloshing with water and it won't be responsive," said McAvoy.
Fuzzy Smith, the father of Tim and Royal Smith and shore-side manager for the Lady Mary, has argued a wave swamped the boat but he believes the wave was caused by a passing vessel.
Weeks said he tried to bring forth a witness, Jim Taylor, who was a mate on a nearby vessel the Elisa G. and claimed to have seen the 728-foot cargo ship Cap Beatrice near the Lady Mary at the time of the sinking. He said the Coast Guard would not allow the testimony.
"They saw the (Cap Beatrice) turn its lights on and off and then leave. I wanted the mate who was on watch at the time to testify but the Coast Guard said he was not credible," Weeks said.
Weeks said he also tried to get testimony from the captain and mate of another fishing vessel, Dictator, which was hit by a cargo ship 22 days after Lady Mary sank. The Dictator suffered damages similar to what was found on the Lady Mary but did not sink.
"They botched the investigation. They never even started looking at another ship until I got on the case," Weeks said.
McAvoy said he has not ruled out new testimony but told Weeks he was "delaying any decision" on more witnesses until the final NTSB report on the rudder comes out.
Weeks also complained the board has continued to interview Arias without inviting him to attend. McAvoy said Weeks was notified by letter whenever Arias was interviewed.
"He has a right to re-interview Arias as well," McAvoy noted.
With six lives lost, there are still questions of criminal and civil liability in the future. The board has convened three times and each session has drawn lawyers representing different parties.
There was no insurance on the Lady Mary. Weeks said if there was a collision, then there could be claims against another vessel.
The board is not involved in any criminal charges but could supply information to another agency that could pursue them. The board's findings are also not admissible in civil proceedings, but information it uncovers can be pursued by other parties on their own.
"They can take our ideas in the report and reproduce the evidence. It could spark things," McAvoy said.

Overnight Orange Glazed Monkey Bread
Recipe by Chris Reynolds
This recipe came from a grocery flyer. My family loves monkey bread, and this sounds like a great twist on an old favorite! Prep time does not include rising time!
Top Review by TexasToast R
A fun recipe and very tasty! I even used some whole wheat flour with the white. Also, I used orange juice and powdered sugar for the glaze as I did not have orange extract on hand. It definitely was better fresh out of the oven. The brown sugar coating got a little hard the next day.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1⁄4 cup warm water
- 1⁄4 cup sugar, divided
- 3 3⁄4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup warm milk (100-110 F)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, cooled
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1⁄4 teaspoon orange extract
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix yeast, warm water and 1 tbsp sugar together in a bowl; let stand for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add milk, butter, 1/2 flour, salt, and remaining sugar; mix with an electric mixer until combined and no longer lumpy. Add rest of flour and knead in by hand for 5 to 6 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.(Alternatively, use the soft dough cycle on your bread maker.).
- Spray a fluted ring pan with cooking spray. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Deflate the dough, pinch off a tablespoon, roll between palms (it helps to lightly oil hands as dough is very sticky), dip ball into melted butter, then roll in brown sugar mixture. Place evenly around the ring pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest overnight in refrigerator.
- In the morning, remove the pan. Place in preheated oven (350 F). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before turning onto serving plate. Stir together the confectioner's sugar, milk, and orange extract; pour evenly over bread. Garnish with candied citrus peel (Recipezaar #5319), if desired.

(aged 28)
Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
|New York City Firefighter
Sally Regenhard is an American activist who has become one of the leading voices for the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks. A former long-time resident of Co-op City in The Bronx in New York City who has degrees in behaviorial sciences and gerontology and has worked in the nursing home industry for over 20 years, Regenhard became an advocate for skyscraper safety after the death of her 28-year-old son, Christian, a probationary firefighter with the New York City Fire Department, who perished in the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Along with her husband Al, her daughter Christina, and Monica Gabrielle, a widow who lost her husband Richard as a result of the collapse of the towers, they founded the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, a national non-profit organization that has four main goals:
- Demand a federal investigation (via the use of subpoenas) into the collapse of the World Trade Center, including information on its design, evacuation procedures, and "firefighting techniques".
- To promote improved compliance of building and fire codes in New York City and nationwide, and assuring the safety of firefighters and residents (and workers) who reside and work in such structures.
- To educate "codes groups" in allowing fire departments in having a say in the building of new skyscrapers. The "code groups" will be assembled by a mixed group of fire services officials and engineers, replacing the present "code groups" who are composed mainly of bureaucrats, builders, and others who have little or no knowledge of fire safety.
- To have say and voice in the construction of the Freedom Tower and all other structures built at Ground Zero, thus assuring that newly revised fire safety codes are enforced.
Regenhard has also worked to honor her son's legacy. On July 18, 2006, Sally and her family, with the assistance of then-Senator Hillary Clinton, dedicated the Christian Regenhard Center for Emergency Response Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice located in Manhattan. Currently it is a research center offering seminars, lectures, and doing research and contracts with emergency response organizations. The College dedicated its own 9/11 Memorial in 2011. [1]
The credits page of Robert Greenwald's viral videos series, The REAL RUDY, offer "very special thanks to Regenhard.[2]
Views about Rudolph Giuliani[edit]
In recent years, Regenhard has become one of the most vocal and visible critics of Rudolph Giuliani, who was Mayor of New York City at the time of the attacks. Riding on a wave of popularity for his handling of the crisis, Giuliani became a household name throughout the world. With plenty of media coverage and high public approval ratings, he became a major candidate to win the Republican nomination for the 2008 presidential race.
She made national headlines in May 2004, when during a televised public hearing on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, she interrupted Giuliani while he was giving a speech. She has made appearances on various news-related programs on such networks as CNN and C-SPAN.[3]
In an article published by New York Daily News in September 2006, Regenhard was quoted saying, "There's a large and growing number of both FDNY families, FDNY members, former and current, and civilian families who want to expose the true failures of the Giuliani administration when it comes to 9/11," and that she intends to "Swift Boat" Giuliani and his campaign.[4]
Post 9/11[edit]
Regenhard has voiced her opposition to the construction of the controversial Park51 project that will be located in a building near Ground Zero. The proposed Park51 (named after the building's street address of 51 Park Place) project, which will include both a mosque and an Islamic cultural center, has been the target of many opponents who claim that it may attract Islamic extremists and who consider it an insult to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Regenhard, who was interviewed by the New York Times claims that the construction of the center would be "sacrilege on sacred ground." In response to accusations that opponents to the project were anti-Muslim, Regenhard replied "People are being accused of being anti-Muslim and racist, but this is simply a matter of sensitivity. It's hard enough to go down to that pit of hell and death."[5]
Regenhard resides in Yonkers, New York with her husband.

After our wild foursome with the two Chinese students, things did not accelerate into wild sex orgies every night. In fact things almost returned to normal. We went back to our urban living with our friends and, though we often talked about that wild night during sex, the assumption was that it was just an isolated incident. Of course if I was being honest with myself at that time, I was hornier than I had ever been in my life. Having this beautiful young wife and knowing that the treasure between her legs was mine but I could 'lend it to others,' was an erotic thought to me and I must be honest to you and say that I had never masturbated so much on my own as I did during the four weeks after the event. My cock just wouldn't go down.
Julie didn't broach the subject apart from our fantasy sex and I couldn't bring myself to encourage her to do it again. After all it was her body these strange cocks were impaling. I only had to watch and enjoy. Every time a guy looked at her, my cock went hard. Even a casual look was enough.
She did say, 'We must do it again some time,' but didn't take it any further.
She also said that if we ever did it again it had to be absolute strangers with no chance of anyone else finding out. That meant we would have to plan it but she showed no real interest in doing so.
On that wonderful night when we had first made contact with the young Chinese guy, we had been out for a meal with Peter and Monica and there was no 'straighter couple' than they were. Life was marriage, children, job and occasional pleasure. I could never imagine Peter fucking Monica's brains out in the middle of a field let alone allowing another guy to do it with him.
Our other friends were slightly older. Graeme and Penny had not had much social life for the past nine months as they were expecting their first child. In their mid-thirties this was a late first child but everything was going like clockwork. Interestingly, though Penny was a 'Penny plain,' her husband Peter had a slightly raunchy side to him. Any time he and I were alone he talked sex all the time.
'I'd love to give her one,' he would comment as a girl passed. He even talked about 'gang banging' some young girl he saw in a bar.
'You and who else?' I asked since it takes more than two to gang bang.
'You'd be up for it with a pretty thing like that, wouldn't you?' he responded. My smile made him say, 'Told you so!'
That kind of banter had gone on for some time. Peter was a well-built guy, not overly muscular but his hair was slightly receding and he had shaved it quite short. His piercing blue eyes and tattooed forearm made him look more aggressive that he ever was in real life.
Penny had been taken in for observation and Peter was floating up and down to the maternity hospital. They lived on the other side of town whereas we were about 15 minutes walk away so Julie suggested he stay with us in the spare room while Penny was inside. As it looked like she might be there until the expected birth date, two weeks away, a little routine developed where he visited her after work and then came to us for a meal. We all sat around chatting and drank a bottle of wine then off to bed.
I started to secretly wonder what Peter's cock was like and whether it was bigger than mine. I started to fantasise about him fucking Julie. I knew it was highly unlikely but when you're horny, the brain plays funny tricks. I mentioned my fantasy to Julie.
'How could you think like that with his poor wife sitting there in hospital?' was her response.
'I was just fantasising out loud Julie. Allow me that at least!'
She laughed at me and went to sleep.
About four days into the stay, Peter came in soaked. He had decided to walk back and the Heavens had opened. He dripped into the hall and Julie suggested he shower and change lest he catch cold. He readily agreed and after his shower he shouted down, 'Would you mind if I just put on my pj's and dressing gown?'
'No problem,' I shouted back up, 'It's only a light meal on our lap anyway.'
He came downstairs, well covered and I could see the top of a t-shirt showing and his sleeping shorts visible when his dressing gown opened. We had a good meal and, as it was Thursday, almost the weekend, we opened a second bottle of wine. We chatted away and in the middle of the conversation Peter told us both how lucky we were still to have so much going for each other. He explained that since Penny had been declared pregnant, they had not had any sex at all, not even light foreplay.
'Can you imagine what that does to a guy's libido?' he said.
'God, you must be horny,' I said, the words out of my mouth before I could stop them.
Julie flashed me a look but Peter just said, 'I could shag a scabby dog the way I'm feeling.'
We laughed and changed the subject but as Peter relaxed back on the couch, I realised his cock had slipped out of the flies. He wasn't aware but Julie was. His cock was big. It was circumcised, unlike mine, but was as big soft as mine was hard. I would have said it was about 6 inches soft but quite and thick. Julie looked at me and raised one eyebrow. She knew what I was thinking but nipped things in the bed.
'You two can chat all you want but I'm off to bed,' she said rising.
'OK, good night,' said Peter. 'Fancy a quick beer before we go?' he asked.
His cock was still exposed as he lay back on the couch and when I returned, he continued to say how lucky I was with a pretty little 'minx' like Julie.
'Bet you don't have any problem getting her to come up with the goods?' he said.
'No I don't,' I replied.
'Is she experimental or strictly missionary?' he asked.
'Oh she has her moments,' I said.
When I next looked, His cock was at full mast and as the flies were completely unfastened he wasn't fully aware, probably assuming he was covered by his dressing gown.
'At this time,' he said, 'I wouldn't mind a 'moment'.'
'I can see that,' I said nodding to his open fly and hard cock.
'Oh fuck, sorry,' he said. 'Julie didn't see that, did she?'
'I hope she did,' I said, 'It's about twice the size of mine.
He looked at me puzzled.
When I snuggled up to Julie that night she initially pretended to be asleep but then she said, 'That was one Hell of a cock.'
'And from what he's saying,' I replied, 'He wouldn't mind using it on you.'
'He didn't say that, did he?'
'Not in so many words but it wouldn't take much if you fancied it,' I said. 'After you left, he spoke about how attractive you were and it got fully hard. I had to tell him.'
'I bet that embarrassed him,' she said.
'He did blush,' I replied.
'I couldn't do that to poor Penny,' she said.
'I could lose my guilty conscience to see you impaled on that massive dick,' I replied.
She didn't answer but I knew she was thinking.
Just before we fell asleep, I said, 'But we don't have much time if we're going to.'
So Friday came along and when I returned home from work there were scatter cushions on the floor and little plates of snacks over the table. Candles were burning around the room and Julie was singing happily in the kitchen.
'What's going on, 'I said.
'A girls' night in but the girls can't come,' she said.
I must have looked puzzled.
'I just thought it would be fun to sit around, watch a DVD, play some music, eat some junk food and enjoy a few glasses of wine - sort of chill out after a stressful week,' she said.
I think I guessed what she was hoping to manipulate. She smiled at me and I could see straight through it. It was about four weeks since I had seen that smile.
When Peter came in he was in fine spirit. Julie stopped him at the door.
'Right you, upstairs, shower, change into your dressing gown and we're having a chilled night in. You just looked so at home and relaxed last night I want to see you like that again.'
He looked at me and then down at his front, not sure if it was a 'double entendré or not. She indicated that we would be doing the same.
While he prepared, so did we and Julie put on a flimsy top which clearly showed her bra covered breasts and little panties. Everything was more decorative than protective. She then covered all with a less sexy dressing gown concealing her hidden treasures completely. I was dressed much the way Peter had been the night before.
Well we ate, watched the movie, laughed at the jokes and drank quite a bit. Julie sat on the floor with her back to a chair and Peter opposite and after about two hours I was aware she had her legs open and Peter was watching her. I went to the toilet and on my way back in, could see what he saw. The light fabric of her panties gaped, showing her pubic hair and the lips of her cunt. I sat off to the side and watched Peter. The tent in his shorts was pushing up the dressing gown.
'I was just saying,' said Peter, continuing a conversation he had been having with Julie while I was out,' how lucky you are to have such a beautiful and sexy young wife.'
I smiled.
'It's not that Penny isn't sexy but I could do with a little sex to go with it sometimes. A guy has needs and they can be difficult to fill, discreetly.'
The word 'discreetly' was added slowly at the end of the sentence. He wanted to 'play.'
'What you need Peter, is a girl to help you release your tension, who is not threat to your marriage and who won't blab to anyone, is that right?'
I looked at Julie as she said this.
'Oh God yes, that's exactly it. I need a young attractive woman whose husband doesn't mind if I have my way with her and possibly even enjoys the idea.'
His eyes were flicking back and forward between us.
'And sometimes.....' Julie hesitated at this point,' A woman can want and even enjoy, a randy man who is, how can I say it, obviously better equipped than her husband.'
I shot her a look but she just smiled.
Peter's breath was coming in short gasps now as Julie dropped to her knees in front of him, put her hands between his legs, quickly unbuttoned his fly and flipped out a massive 8 or 9 inch thick cock before adding, 'If you see what I mean.'
'She needs it Peter,' is all I could muster. Julie was in charge now.
She engulfed his cock with her mouth and Peter slumped back on the sofa, his legs opening to allow her free access. She freed his cock by popping it back through the flies and pulling his shorts down, her tongue darting around his big hairy balls.
'Oh God that's good, so good,' he said.
She slipped his dressing gown off over his shoulders and then stood up to disrobe completely in front of him.
'You are so beautiful and young. Steve's a lucky man,' he said.
'And tonight I want you to be lucky too,' said Julie.
Peter suddenly sprung into active mode and he stood up, almost lifting Julie off the ground and kissed her like a hungry animal. His cock stuck between her thighs and was visible coming out at the back. His tongue was licking inside her mouth while his hands started to explore her breasts. I stripped and stood alongside watching the action. I knelt behind Julie to kiss her buttocks but the tip of Peter's cock was visible so I started to lick that too. There was clear pre-cum dripping off the end and I licked it as though it were sustenance.
'Jeesus Steve, what's happening back there?' Peter shouted to me. 'Keep that up and I'll cum.'
I stopped but I had my assurance that a little bisexual fun was not to be ruled out.
He lifted Julie completely and carried her to the bedroom where he laid her on the bed and started to kiss her all over. He eventually focused between her legs and gently teased her with his tongue, darting around the general area before tickling her little nub, bringing her higher before stopping and moving back over her body. Julie loved being teased like this as she found her eventual climax to be much more exciting. Peter climbed up over her, his legs either side of her chest then offered his massive organ to her. She took it with her left hand and guided it into her mouth, the pre-cum glistening around her lips. I replaced him between her legs, licking and tickling her clit which stood proudly outwards. She was wet, very wet!
She guided Peter on to his back and then sat astride him, lowering her gaping cunt straight on to his mouth. The slurping was muffled as he tried to breathe as he licked. My opportunity suddenly appeared. As he lay with his legs open, his massive cock stuck upright from his hairy balls completely unattended. I dropped to my knees and gripped it, covering the head with my mouth. Wow, this was good. I hadn't realised what pleasure there was in having a stiff erect sex organ in your mouth. I sucked hungrily up and down while cupping Peter's balls with my hand. I gently teased my finger lower to his anus and stroked the entrance to his hole. It was doing something to him as his back started to buck up and down in an automated thrusting motion. Julie hung on like a rider at a rodeo, her legs holding down his shoulders while I gave him a blow job and she had his tongue inside her cunt.
'Jeesus Christ, I didn't realise you too were a horny double act!' he gasped. 'Please keep doing whatever your doing.'
Julie slid back down his body, knocking my mouth off his cock as she went. I sat back to watch again. She put his cock in her mouth and hungrily slurped up and down on his massive shaft while he looked down at her pretty face being distorted by the lump of flesh inside her mouth. It looked 'perversely attractive' if you know what I mean. I stroked my own cock as I watched her in action.
'Fuck me Peter,' she said, panting like a bitch in heat. 'Get a condom Steve!'
It was a command not a request. I quickly flipped open a packet of Durex and ripped the packet to reveal the rubber teat. This was going to be my moment. I reached out and gripped Peter's cock and stretched the condom over it. It was hard going as his cock was so large but with Julie's help we managed to stretch it almost to the base of his cock. I lubricated the condom as I had a feeling she was going to need it.
Julie straddled Peter, looking at me and her back to him. She slowly lowered herself down and aimed his cock head at her cunt. I watched and wanked as his tip entered her. She closed her eyes in concentration as the first inch slid into her. I had the feeling that width as well as length might be a problem and this guy was no Chinese student! This was a much slower process that these girls in the porn movies who seem to slide straight on to horse sized cocks without a blink!
It took over five minutes of sliding in and out before the cock was almost inside Julie. Peter was so turned on and Julie screaming so much, I realised I was being ignored. Not that I minded as I was free to enjoy the show. I stood facing Julie and bent forward to lick and nip her nipples with my teeth. She had started riding to keep pace with Peter's upwards thrusts and his groans suggested he was enjoying it. I knelt down between Julie's legs and watched. Julie's legs were wide open and Peter's were between them, giving me an uninterrupted view as his big cock slid in and out of Julie. His hairy balls hung heavily between his legs and the thought that at that particular moment, they were producing his cum, to be delivered especially for Julie, turned me on no end. I lifted his balls in my hand, wanking myself as I did so. The odd thing about this was at no time in the past would Peter have remotely entertained his private parts being touched by a male, let alone his best friend and here he was, like butter in Julie's hands (or perhaps in Julie's cunt), allowing me free access to any part of him I wanted and to do what I wanted with his cock and balls, so turned on was he.
His cock was amazingly hard. I leaned closer and put my tongue tentatively on his balls as the swayed with his thrusts. It was amazing feeling the soft, hairy warmth of a man's balls at the tip of my tongue. Getting more adventurous, I licked up the shaft and let my tongue dart over Julie's clitoris. It was being rubbed back and forth by the thick piece of flesh pumping into her. Their thrusts were getting frantic as Julie rode up and down and Peter tried to match her movements. I sat back slightly, my hand holding the base of his rigid cock to keep it absolutely ramrod hard as he humped her.
'Oh shit, I'm cumming,' he shouted.
His rhythm changed and the veins on his cock showed the pumping of blood or cum as he emptied his balls into the condom inside Julie slid off him and shouted, 'Hey lover boy, lie there,' to me, while pointing at the floor.
I lay flat on the floor and Julie sat straight down on my cock, this time facing me. My cock slid into her quite easily and the warm, wet reception was exciting against my bare cock. Peter was busy watching while he stripped the heavily laden condom off his cock and flipped it into a waste bin. Julie really started to hump now and I found my climax building. I tried to steady my cock to give her maximum friction against her clitoris and this seemed to work as she gasped, her orgasm slowly climbing. I thought of everything but sex in an effort to slow my own impending explosion but thankfully Julie's wail, told me I had permission to pump by spunk inside her.
'God I feel guilty now,' said Julie afterwards.
'God, I feel more relaxed than I have for nine months,' said Peter.
Both giggled and I said to him, 'We won't tell if you don't!'
It never happened again. I suppose the presentation of a baby daughter two days later was enough to send him on a guilt trip. It wasn't really mentioned again apart from the odd comment on Julie from time to time when we were out for a drink.
When he did, I would say to him, 'You should know!' and we'd laugh!
I said that Peter never did it again but he did act as a catalyst for us to have another guy.
Peter and I were out for a drink around six months later (he was given a rare night out) and we had been laughing and joking in a bar in town. We were here because Julie has been swimming and I had arranged to meet her for a drink and then we would go home. Late nights were out for Peter! Peter welcomed Julie with open arms and a kiss and she sat with us greedily drinking a beer to quench her thirst before ordering a glass of wine. Her top was quite revealing showing her ample bosoms to best effect and I was suddenly aware of a smart looking businessman sitting opposite watching us. He was well over six feet tall and of a Caribbean descent, his skin quite dark, his hair cropped close and black and his teeth a dazzling white. He was an amazing figure of a man and extremely attractive, even to me.
Of course we were flirting with Julie quite innocently, though I would hold her hand or kiss her, even slipping my hand up her skirt at one time. Each time I looked across, he would look back and smile at me.
'You have a fan,' I said to Julie.
'I know,' she replied. I should have known she wouldn't miss a trick.
'You don't think he wants to play?' I said.
Peter said, 'I can't get involved this time,' and playfully patted Julie's leg.
The man's eyebrow rose when he saw Peter being slightly intimate with her.
'I need to pee,' said Peter and he stood up and walked passed the guy to the toilet.
As he passed, he bent down and spoke to him. Julie and I watched as both men so obviously were having a conversation about us and when Peter went to the toilet, the guy smiled broader than ever.
Peter came back, tapped the guy on the shoulder and he stood up to accompany Peter over.
'This is Steve and Julie,' he said, 'And you are...?'
'Logan, and no jokes.' He smiled as he said this.
A massive hand came out and shook mine then he leaned forward and kissed Julie on the cheek.
'And she's a great ride,' said Peter suddenly, 'In fact they're both good in bed!'
I shot him a look as he raised his hand and said, 'I'd better be off now!' as he made for the pub door.
'I'm here for the night to meet up with a food importer tomorrow,' he said. 'I've been in London for a couple of days and am back to Jamaica tomorrow. I hope you don't mind me looking at your pretty girlfriend. That's all I was doing but your friend has suggested that I might get even closer to her. Now that would be the highlight of British hospitality.'
We laughed and I looked at Julie before giving him our names. We sat down again and ordered a few more drinks.
'Was your friend telling the truth?' he asked.
'Well yes and no,' I said. 'We helped him out when he had some trouble with his partner and was doing without! We don't make a habit of it,' I lied.
'Oh that's a pity. It might surprise you but I've never had a white woman before.'
Julie looked up and said, 'It would be a first for me with a black guy too.'
'Does that mean you're interested?' he asked. 'If it helps, I have a pleasant surprise down here for you.'
He looked down and squeezed a long tube in his suit trousers. I knew Julie was hooked.
'I could be tempted,' she said coyly.
To cut to the chase, twenty minutes later Logan was in our main bathroom showering and Julie and I were doing likewise in our en-suite shower room.
'Please stay undressed,' I asked her as we dried off. 'Just that flimsy dressing gown you have and nothing else.'
'OK,' she said as I pulled on some shorts and a t-shirt.
When Logan came out, he was in a brilliant white t-shirt and 'Haynes' briefs. The dazzling white underwear only served to accentuate his height and build as well as the darkness of his skin. I could help but notice the heavy bulge in his white briefs. It looked to be slightly erect but I couldn't really tell. My own cock was straining to escape from my shorts.
'My, my, your husband looks as though he can't wait to get started,' said Logan when he saw my erection. 'You play both ways man?' he asked.
'Sorry?' I said sounding a bit like Hugh Grant in full English gentleman mode.
'Do you like a bit of cock too?' he asked again.
I saw Julie smirk.
'I have been known to partake,' I said, sounding even more like Hugh Grant!
'This should be fun,' he said moving over to Julie.
Her head turned upwards as his tall frame stooped to kiss Julie. His large lips covered her mouth and I heard a gasp as she was enveloped by his big hands. He wasted no time in slipping her robe off leaving her completely naked. Her pale white skin contrasted against his jet black body. His hands took each of her breasts, completely covering them, as his lips continued to kiss her. He leaned forward and started to kiss and lick her nipples, his lips almost covering her breast. The lump in his pants was now extremely visible and it looked big. I stripped naked and took my own cock in hand, sitting on the arm of the sofa to watch the show in front of me.
His left hand slipped between Julie's legs and I saw his finger slide into her. She gasped as his digit slid about two inches inside her before withdrawing and then repeating the action over and over again. Julie's hand went to the front of his briefs and slid through the fly front.
'Oh my God,' she said, 'That feels enormous.'
'Honey, it is,' he responded.
She took both of her hands and slid his briefs down while he pulled his t-shirt over his head. It took a few moments while she negotiated the beast she was exposing. His cock looked to be over nine inches long but its thickness was about twice mine. I thought Peter was big but this guy was something else! Julie's hand was struggling to wrap around it. It was not cut and the foreskin slid back to reveal a purple head. She dropped to her knees and put her mouth around the head. Her face looked slightly obscene as she stretched her mouth to envelop his cock.
All the time he muttered encouragement. 'Yes, Honey, God that's good. Suck my cock and feel my juice in your mouth. I'm gonna fuck you with this stick and if you don't want it, your husband's gonna get it up his hole!'
That raised my eyebrows slightly. Sucking a cock was one thing but taking a thing like that as my first anal entry was pretty well out of the equation. I hoped Julie would be enough for him though I had some concerns at her ability to take him.
When Julie stood up to kiss him again, I crawled over and started to suck his cock. For a heterosexual man, sucking another man's stiff cock is quite an amazing experience. There was no doubt in my mind, it wasn't so much that I wanted a man's cock in my mouth, but I wanted the man's cock that was going to fuck my Julie. Julie was the catalyst and I wanted to share her pleasure. I loved being slightly cuckold, subservient to everything that was happening. I knelt between them trying my best to take as much cock down my throat as I could. I managed about half before I started to gag so concentrated on holding it firmly and sucking the head, letting the skin slide back and forth in my mouth.
His juice was slightly salty and erotic and I could feel the taste at the back of my throat. I held his balls which were surprisingly small for the size of his cock, and licked them in between sucks. Suddenly Julie's legs disappeared into the air and I realised he had lifted her off the floor and was carrying her to the bedroom. I quickly got out of the way.
He laid her on the bed and stood, stroking his big cock.
'Let me see you fuck her,' he said. 'I'll watch and learn.'
Julie was breathing heavily. This was quite early on in sex to be fucking. She liked a longer warm-up but being watched while I fucked her appealed to me.
She lay on the bed with her legs draped over the bottom so I walked over and parted her legs, delving my tongue between them and pushing it into her gaping cunt. She was beautifully moist. I slurped and delved, my right hand stroking my cock. Standing beside us, Logan was wanking his cock and watching every movement. My own hands stretched up and caressed Julie's tits, tweaking her nipples as I licked her. She whimpered when I did so. There were little short squeals and gasps as I licked the little button which gave her so much pleasure.
I lifted her properly up on the bed and settled between her, ready to fuck when I felt rough hands grip my cock.
'Let me,' he said, gripping my hard erection and aiming it towards Julie's cunt.
God that felt good. I slid easily into her as his hands released their grip and then moved around to cup my buttocks as I fucked. My cock pumped in and out with relative ease and Julie was enjoying it. His hands pushed me in and out pressing against my buttocks and I felt his finger teasing my anus. I heard his lick his finger and then gently probe my arse. I had no idea what was happening but the sudden build in climax almost had me filling Julie there and then and it took all my self control to stop from cumming. I stopped pumping her.
'I assume pussy boy liked that,' he said with a slight sneer.
'I don't quite know what you did but it set something off,' I said.
'Here, give me a rubber and let me show your pretty, sweet, white wife what black cock is like.'
'Oh please yes,' whimpered Julie, 'Fuck me!'
I handed him a rubber and watched in awe as he struggled to get it over his cock, and even then, it only stretched about two thirds of the way up it. I knelt over Julie and I quickly gripped it to repeat what he had done for me.
His cock was both hard and spongy at the same time. I took great delight in holding it as he gently pushed into Julie.
'Please take it easy,' she said.
He did take it easy but to be honest she was so excited and so wet, I felt sure he could have just plunged it straight in and she would have hardly noticed. He was soon pummelling Julie in the missionary position but then he lifted her up and swung her around to enter her doggy fashion. That gave me the opportunity to act like a hungry dog and dive under them to lick his cock as it entered and withdrew carrying a thick coating of her juice. I licked his bouncing balls, I licked his cock, I even managed to get my tongue partly into her with his cock. I was in heaven.
She spoke in single words. 'That....is......fucking.....amazing. Fuck.....me... harder!'
He did!
He was now hammering into her, fully withdrawing and them sliding the entire cock all the way to his balls, then back out and straight back in. I stood on the bed looking down on the scene and he took his hand, grabbing my cock and pulling it towards his mouth as he fucked. His sucked was amazing. This guy was no novice and for a moment I wondered if I actually wanted to try his cock in my arse. I realised that it was stupid but his cock-sucking was phenomenal!
My cum was building and I told him so. This was only thirty or so minutes into the session and, though Julie had already orgasmed once I wanted her to have more.
'You'll need to stop,' I said,' If you don't want some English cum in your mouth.'
I don't know what he did but his tongue seemed to slide under my foreskin and tickle the glans. My cum was jetting into his mouth with hardly a second of warning and he not only drunk it, he gripped my cock to ensure none escaped. My knees buckled on the soft bed and I was struggling to stay upright.
When I subsided, he flipped Julie over and raised her legs high above her head in a 'V' shape, leaning forward to kiss her with his cum filled mouth. She let him as he once more started his fucking. I could see her vagina lips wrapped tightly around his cock. I could see the skin pulling out with it then folding back in as he pummelled her.
His thrusting suddenly became a stabbing motion and he grunted with each thrust. Julie howled as another orgasm came over her and he kept his pumping up till she subsided even though it was obvious he had already shot his load inside her. He slid his cock out, the end of the condom heavy with his cum, and he pulled it off. Droplets of cum were hanging from the end of his cock and he grabbed the back of my head and forced it down on his cock as its erection subsided. I was a little reluctant in my post orgasm condition but I took it and sucked it, managing the whole length of the shortening cock. I'm glad I did as the memory has stayed with me since.
Drinking coffee afterwards, Julie said to Logan, 'I think Steve is going to have his work cut out keeping me happy after that. Thanks Logan and please, please look us up if you're ever back this way.'
'Try and stop me Honey,' he said. 'Besides, I still want to nail your pretty little husband's arse!'
We haven't seen him again, so far!
Julie and I have enjoyed our own sex life all the more. I love her to bits and every now and then, I just enjoy seeing someone else enjoying her, knowing she's coming back with me. Julie for her part loves cock. She likes small cocks, large cocks, and thick cocks and even worse, she has started asking me to enjoy them with her. There seem to be a lot of guys out there that love the idea of the pretty young thing with the husband who can't keep her satisfied. I just have to keep finding them for her!

Unmasking the Mystery Man in the SEC Probe of Goldman
For the first time, we know the identity of a Goldman Sachs official who managed to avert SEC charges over the soured mortgage-backed investment known as Abacus 2007-AC1. What is still unclear: How he got off the hook.
Deal Journal colleague Liz Rappaport reported that the Goldman official is Jonathan Egol. His role in bundling mortgage-related securities at Goldman has been well documented, but he was not named in the SEC's April fraud lawsuit over the Abacus CDO. The lawsuit did name Goldman and Fabrice Tourre, who worked for Egol in the mortgage division.
In July, Goldman agreed to pay $550 million to settle the SEC civil-fraud charges that it misled investors about the role John Paulson's hedge fund played in selecting risky mortgages for the Abacus deal.
According to an inspector general's investigation into the Goldman probe, SEC officials deliberated for months about whether to charge a "Goldman Manager" –- identified by Liz as Egol — in connection with the Abacus transaction.
According to the timeline in the SEC inspector general's report, the agency delayed for months bringing charges against Goldman last year, in part because it wanted to take testimony from the "Goldman manager." Reid Muoio, an official from the SEC enforcement division helping lead the Goldman investigation, at one point wrote in an email that the agency was "getting stonewalled" by the Goldman manager, who had been subpoenaed in November 2009.

How To Use Vanilla If You Can't Use Alcohol
Baking By nancylee61 Updated 8 Feb 2014 , 7:11pm by tdovewings
I don't drink at all - and most recipes call for real vanilla in the buttercream frostings. How can I use vanilla when I don't drink? How can I taste the frosting? I know when it is baked in, it is fine, but raw, the alcohol in vanilla could cause an allergic reaction.
I am sure there are others who don't use alcohol. Ideas?
Some places actually do make "alcohol free" extracts. I have never used them so I can't attest to the taste or the price. Here's the first link that showed up from a Google search:
If you're allergic to alcohol, be aware that the all of the alcohol will not burn off during cooking, there will always be some (even if trace) amount left in the product.
Scrape out the insides of a vanilla bean... mix with whatever liquid you are using in your buttercream or mix directly into your buttercream... Never done it, but it may work...
Check out vanilla bean paste... I am not sure if it contains alcohol... I don't have any in the cupboard right now to check...
Thank you for the suggestions! I appreciate it, because I do hate fake vanilla.
If you make italian or french buttercream, you can simmer vanilla beans in the sugar syrup before you make the frosting.It will impart a nice vanilla flavor.
Also, use the vanilla beans from simmering, dry them out and put them in sugar to flavor the granulated sugar. you can use this sugar to make your buttercreams.
They also make vanilla powder.
It is a common misconception that the alcohol burns off. It does, but at a radically slower rate than people presume. That said, the amount of alcohol any individual would consume from a vanilla cake and classic frosting is in the one milliliter or less range.
So if for personal or medical reasons you are avoiding alcohol, try the things above and you will have great complex flavor.
Two possible choices - 1. Vanilla paste (This is what I use.)
2. Vanilla powder- (This is expensive if you get the good stuff.)
The drawback on both of these is that you will have little brown flecks of ground vanilla beans in your frosting. Of course you can just tell people that it a sign that you are using real vanilla not cheap imitation. I heard my nephew tell his girl friend, "See the little brown flecks, she used the good stuff in this."
I make SMBC, can I still do that? Thanks,
I love the flecks!! Thanks!!!
Vanilla paste, powder and sugar can all be used in Swiss. I don't know if you'll get as much from the bean in the eggwhites, but you could try one. The other meringue buttercreams easily allow for the bean to be steeped. You might want to try one to see if you like it.
You can make your own alcohol free vanilla flavoring - I won't call it extract since it doesn't use alcohol. It's really easy to make.
Thank you!! I didn't know that!
some vanilla bean pastes have extract listed in the ingredients so be sure to read the labels--
You can make your own alcohol free vanilla flavoring - I won't call it extract since it doesn't use alcohol. It's really easy to make.
I'm trying the glycerin method (sans hot water) with some coconut off of the tree in the front yard. I made coconut chips like the ones at Trader Joe's, managed to not eat all of them, put some in a glass jar and then poured glycerin over it. I completely forgot about until yesterday, when opened a drawer (dark place) and found it. This coconut has been steeping for a couple of months now, so it should be right coconutty
Trader Joe's sells alcohol free vanilla extract at a really good price, for future reference.

Mesh Generation Software
I need to find an alternative to my current mesh generation package. Could anyone let me know which mesh generation packages are considered to be the best? I am looking to generate large (~ million cell) unstructured tet/hex meshes for CFD problems.
Also is there any decent freeware software available that could do the job? I use the open source Paraview package for post processing and consider it to be fairly good (good enough..)
Re: Mesh Generation Software
Have a look at the meshing research corner(http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/sowen/mesh.html),it has links to a wide range of grid generating softwares.

I was sent a copy of two books: The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Facebook® {TCIG} and Facebook® for Dummies® {FFD}. I was asked to give an impartial head-to-head comparison of the two books.
I've never read a book from either series, so I thought this would be really interesting. Right out of the box, I already had a few opinions…
Looks Matter
TCIG is a much more manageable size than FFD. It's lighter and smaller, and I prefer that. It's likely that someone would be carrying this book in a laptop bag or something similar, and smaller and lighter is better.
Cover Art
This may not be important to some, but I noticed it and wanted to include it in my comparison. I prefer the cover of TCIG to that of FFD. I'm not a fan of yellow and black together period {except on bees}, and on the cover of a book it's just too harsh to me.
The FFD book also seemed jumbled and cluttered. Personally, I don't need to see, on the cover, what I'll be learning. I can look in the table of contents for that.
I prefer the font spacing in TCIG. It makes it a bit easier on the eyes while reading.
I prefer the extras in TCIG to those in FFD. The icons are more pleasing to the eye and the content seems to cover a wider spectrum, while still giving detailed and pertinent information.
Content is King
Table of Contents
Hands down the award goes to TCIG. Not only does the table of contents show you exactly what you'll be learning {in great detail-allowing you to pick and choose your topic if you'd like}, it's layout is much nicer.
Visual Aids
Both books include a variety of visual aids, but I think TCIG uses them more effectively. The standout? The little lines/captions that really break down a photo in TCIG; no wondering what that button over there does…
Again, TCIG wins this one hands down. I was completely amazed at the detail with which they give instructions. I chose to look at the chapter on uploading pictures in each book. While they both went over how to upload photos, TCIG broke it down into every tiny little step.
For someone who knows this stuff, it's not earth-shattering. But, for someone who is afraid any little touch will break everything, this is priceless. It leaves nothing to question. Excellent!
Material Covered
TCIG seems to cover quite a bit more than FFD. While the latter gives a good overview of what you need to know to get started using Facebook, the former goes into all sorts of detail; I even learned a few things!
The Verdict
While I personally think TCIG comes out on top, FFD is not a bad book by any means. I am glad I was exposed to the TCIG line of books, though. I look forward to looking into those if I ever have questions that they have covered before.
True Confessions: I was provided with a copy of both books and asked to do a side-by-side comparison. Having never read either series before, I had no loyalty one way or the other. These were my honest opinions about the two books.

When a dieter consumes only 1000 calories a day, the meals should consist of whole grains, lean proteins and vegetables. Meals should not contain "empty" calories, such as processed food, sugary drinks or alcohol.Continue Reading
A sample 1000-calorie meal plan might contain a 1/2-cup serving of oatmeal with almond milk for breakfast, a green salad with no dressing and 3 ounces of chicken breast for lunch, and a 1-cup serving of whole-grain pasta with marinara sauce for dinner. Suggested snacks include fresh fruit or a 1/2-ounce serving of nuts. Another suggestion is to eat four or five snack-sized 200-calorie meals throughout the day. This provides a steady supply of energy for the body.
A person needs to be cautious while following such a restricted diet. The meal plan should not cut out entire food groups, such as carbohydrates. The dieter should not skip meals in order to adhere to the diet. Instead, he should carefully plan all meals to provide as much nutrition as possible. While on the diet, a person should limit exercise because the body is not taking in enough calories to support it. A very low-calorie diet can be useful to jump-start weight loss but is not advisable for long-term use.Learn more about Diet Plans

The man who held Killeen police and SWAT officers at bay during a five-hour standoff Tuesday now is in Bell County Jail.
Shawn Michael Walker, 29, of Killeen, was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin Wednesday morning. Potvin set no bond for Walker, according to court records. Walker was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon following a prolonged standoff, which began about 1 p.m. when Killeen police and another law enforcement agency attempted to serve multiple warrants.
Walker refused to leave the home, and Killeen police called in their tactical response unit at 2:30 p.m. The police used chemical munitions to force him to surrender after negotiations failed. Walker was taken into custody at 5:44 p.m. According to documents from Potvin's office, Walker was wanted on one warrant out of Henderson County for a probation violation for possession of a firearm by a felon. He also had a warrant in Bell County for possession of a controlled substance.
Potvin also arraigned the following individuals on unrelated charges Wednesday:
- Treavor Lovell Ford, 22, and Cameron Lee Estes, 19, on a charge of possession of a controlled substance, more than 1 gram, but less than 4 grams. Both Ford's and Estes' bail was set at $25,000.
- Christian Eugene Reddick, 29, and Clint Demetri Jones, 27, on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Both men's bail was set at $50,000.

SOUTH Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson is set to visit one of Kinver's best kept secrets later this month.
Mr Williamson is set to be a special guest of the Allotment Association on Friday August 29.
The site, which is strictly kept under wraps, has thrived since the Allotment Association was formed back in 2009 to the point where it has become a hub of the community.
It received a grant of almost £8,000 from Awards for All and has also been supported by the Ken Wrigley Memorial Charity, The Anthony and Gwendoline Wylde Memorial Charity in addition to Kinver Parish Council and County Councillor Brian Edwards.
Since their formation, the Allotment Association has gone from strength to strength.
They host a number of events, selling their own produce, with much of the proceeds being ploughed back into the Association.
They have also created their own community garden, which people are allowed to visit.

Will abandoning a house left to us in a trust affect our credit?
My father passed away and left his house to us in a trust. He owes more on the house than we can get in this current market. None of us can afford to make the payments. Can we simply walk away and let the bank(s) have it? Would that effect our credit?
Expert Answers
As beneficiaries of the trust, you have the ability to disclaim your interest by following specific state and federal laws that pertain to disclaiming or giving up your interest in the property that you would otherwise inherit. This will avoid complicating your own financial matters including your credit. Once all of the beneficiaries of the trust have renounced their interest, the trustee can then arrange with the bank to deed the property to the bank in lieu of foreclosure.

3x Versions
Initial 3 (Version 3.0)
"Initial 3" is the first version of the 3x line of SHiFT updates. After the short-lived 2x line ended with the last generation of NextGen Solo game systems, this version is specially designed for the Nextablet and Bluevolt S/X systems. It brings back all the original features of SHiFT Online, plus a rehauled UI and a new function especially for Nextablets: the new SHiFT Online interface can now be used as the primary operating system, as shown being used in the image with the battery information and the clock.
Update "Superchange" (Version 3.1)
"Superchange" is the first update to the Intial 3 infrastructure. It includes a redone Title Bar, the return of the Topbar (albeit changed from its last appearance), the addition of the Account Bar, an updated custom background feature that will not hinder the readability of pagespace elements, and an updated Library page with separate pages for movies and non-game applications. The News Feed has once again been removed, now the latest news appears at the top of the Community page. Company Page Buttons have also been removed.
2x Versions
Initial 2 (Version 2.0)
"Initial 2" is the first version of the 2x line of SHiFT updates. It comes with a radically redone interface, now pushing all the different pages besides "Items", "Shop", and the formerly-titled "Friends" page,"People" into a dropdown menu that appears when highlighted over the new SHiFT logo in the corner. The News Feed has been omitted for 2.0, but rumor has it it could be intergrated in the next update.
1x Versions
Initial Release (Version 1.0)
The very first release of the SHiFT service (titled "Initial") was heavily modeled after Valve's Steam service for digital distribution. This version was made for the NextGen NinTablet, and so porting the UI over to the Bluevolt proved to be a hassle, and afterwards, an update immediately began production, one that would be able to run identically on both systems.
Update "Snychronize" (Version 1.1)
"Synchronize" is the first update to the SHiFT service. The name summarizes its two biggest changes to the service: the option to sync SHiFT updates and other notifications to appear in your Gmail or pop up on Google Chrome via Google Sync, and the fact that the UI of Synchronize is identical and appears in its HD resolution on both the NinTablet and the Bluevolt, something the first UI did not do (the Bluevolt port was not in HD.) Synchronize also adds a clock, arrows to switch between headlines at your pace (the auto switching is still present), a relocation of some of Initial's features (such as the NextGen Solo SHiFT page box), a revamped color scheme, the combination of the Welcome and Account Settings boxes, and more buttons on the resized Topbar.
Update "Metro" (Version 1.3)
After scrapping Update 1.2, a slightly modified version of Update Synchronize, NextGen Solo decided to release the next update, this one, as 1.3, making the new order of updates ".1, .3, .0". The name Metro summarizes its interface change to a significantly simpler design based off of the Windows Metro style. Because Update Metro does not add any new features, the update is completely optional and you can switch between Synchronize and Metro's UI if you update.

The Christmas my girls were 2 and 3 it drove me crazy I couldn't get them to leave the Christmas tree alone at all. Everything they'd take off I'd put back on at the top. So in about a weeks time our Christmas tree was bare on the bottom and over crowded on the top lol it happens right
Yep. My three year old wants to play with all the ornaments.
We took EVERYTHING off the tree except for the lights after she destroyed one of her 6-year-old sister's treasured Hallmark ornaments. We'll try again next year.
Some of our daughter's collectible ornaments got broken last year. I did find a couple of replacements. They are not exactly the same but from the same company.
