Virtuosa Beauty
Drawstring Shower Cap
Shower Smarter
And this shower cap is made to last in Fall River, Massachusetts. The waterproof, breathable fabric protects your hair without making your scalp too hot. The cap is machine washable, too.
Founders Tamara Zagorovskaya, Alexandra Holtzman, and Caitlin Palmer met at Harvard Business School. They agreed that styling their hair every day took too long. Together they created Virtuosa to spend more time on the things that mattered.
To use Virtuosa, pull it around your neck and sweep your hair out from underneath. With the loop in front, raise it up to your forehead and gently lift the other end until all your hair is inside. Cinch it closed and secure the toggle through the front loop.
We like that this shower cap is head and shoulders above the disposable ones. Now you can easily extend the life of your salon visit or just go longer between washes for healthier hair. Read More Read Less

Grommet Launch Conversation
Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce Virtuosa to The Grommet. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have!
The shower cap has been around for decades, where did you see an opportunity for improvement?
All of us had tried traditional shower caps in the past, but didn't use them as part of our beauty routine because they were annoying to put on and ruined our hair. Your hairline gets wet around your forehead the nape of your neck, the non-breathable material traps steam under the cap and makes your hair frizzy, and how can you preserve your style when you have to tie or clip your hair up to get it under the cap? We completely reinvented the shower cap to solve all these issues and more!
How did you settle on the design? Is that something that evolved over time?
The three of us had a brainstorming session where we talked about what we didn't like about existing shower caps, and played around with fabric to see how we could create a design that actually worked. We hired a fashion designer to translate our ideas to paper, and then worked with a talented seamstress to create the first prototypes. Dozens of women tested the prototypes and gave us feedback, which we used to refine the design until we felt it was perfect.
What has been the feedback from people using it?
We've gotten great feedback! We've heard from so many women who had completely written off shower caps before hearing about and trying the Virtuosa shower cap. Some love it because they can extend their blowout for a day or two, some love it because it doesn't make their curls frizzy, some love it because it saves them time in the morning. And the #1 comment we get is: "Wow - this actually kept my hair dry!"
@Alexandra this is such a great idea. It would also be very effective with curly hair and as a sleep cap. Many natural curley headed girls, of all races like to sleep with their hair in a satin bonnet. This protects from friction on the pillows. Some us satin pillow cases, which is not enough protection for many curly heads. So many sleep bonnets ( and I have quite a few) don't stay on the head thru the night. This design just might be the ticket for us! Maybe you could try it in a satin fabric, I'll be your Guinea pig. ????
@Carla Thanks for the awesome idea, Carla! I have very curly hair myself and use a satin pillow, but you're right - sometimes it's just not enough. We will definitely add this to our list of potential new products.
Great idea from Carla. I, too sleep in a satin cap because of my curly hair and have trouble with them coming off sometimes. I would be all over this product if I ever saw it come out!
@Alyce Great to know!
Why should anyone with long hair choose Virtuosa over any cap?
The Virtuosa shower cap is especially fantastic for women with long and/or thick, textured hair. Our design enables all lengths and types of hair to fit in the cap, with no need to tie or clip hair up. No matter the length, you can keep your hair down in the Virtuosa shower cap! This means no creasing or denting - your hair looks exactly the same after the shower as it did before. It's the perfect solution for women with long hair who not only want to keep their hair dry in the shower but also want to keep the style perfectly preserved.
I do have waist length hair that is very thick. (And, prone to frizz!) What I don't understand is how to use this without first putting my hair in a pony and then twining it and using a clip on top. How does this work? Also, the price seems high for a shower cap.
@Jean great questions! If you take a look at the instructions and step-by-step photos on the product page, that should help with some of your questions. https://www.thegrommet.com/virtuosa-beauty-drawstring-shower-cap
The cap has two openings and pulls up over your face the same way a headband would. Once the headband is secured, the sleeve with the opening will be laying on your back/shoulders. Tussle it a bit by lifting the opening up and all of your hair will fall in, then pull the drawstring closed. My cofounder's hair is very long as well, longer than the dimensions of the cap, but it all still fits! In fact, many of our customers have said this is the only cap that will fit their hair.
The cap is machine-washable and made to last for years, which makes the price well worth it! Think of all those flimsy caps you've had to buy over the years. It has proved to be a great investment for many of our customers.
This would be good for people with dreads. I immediately thought of a friend with them when I saw this.
@Wanda I totally agree. Thanks for the tip! We will be keeping that in mind for our plans to reach and serve new customers.
@Alexandra & @Wanda, I have locs and my hair is too long and heavy for a traditional shower cap. I have the Big Hair shower cap that i'll use in a pinch but usually i take a neck gaiter (like a very wide headband) and tie the ends to keep my hair in and keep my edges flat not only when I'm in the shower but also at night to keep my hair smooth. The only downfall in the shower is the gaiter is not waterproof. I definitely would love to see this with the elastic edge but in a satin material for bedtime.
@Gina Many of our customers with hairstyles that didn't fit well in regular shower caps used to improvise by using towels or t-shirts to wrap their hair in the shower - sounds similar to your strategy! Let me know if you try the Virtuosa shower cap. I think it would work well for you because the material is strong and the drawstring/cord lock mechanism on the bottom secures even long, heavy hairstyles.
And another vote for making our design in a satin material for bedtime - thanks for the feedback! We will definitely keep this in mind for new products.
How long is this shower cap expected to last, since it's pretty pricey?
@Alyce it is machine washable, and is made of premium fabric that it is made to last the way you would expect your clothing to! I have had mine for 15 months so far and wash it probably every month or two and it is still in excellent shape - no fading.
Katherine here from The Grommet team. I was a tester for Virtuosa and absolutely loved the cap. I have long hair and typical shower caps rarely fit all of it. Virtuosa covered all my hair and kept the style intact.
I also color my hair, so I don't like to get it wet everyday as certain chemicals in water can be damaging to colored hair. I don't want my money spent at the salon going down the drain! Virtuosa is a great way to extend the life of your color
@Katherine I'm so glad you love it! I love using mine so I don't have to wash my high-maintenance curls more than a couple of times a week - it saves me hours. My co-founder loves hers since she has fine hair and it gets creased easily. The design lets her keep her hair down and fall naturally so it looks exactly the same as it did before she got in the shower.
I have a different issue, but this cap may be helpful. I have a short hairstyle and the top is styled to have some height while the back and sides lay flat against my head. In the winter I have a hard time keeping my head warm when walking outside without destroying my hair style. Would there be enough warmth in this cap to protect my head in outdoor winter use?
@Kathy Hi Kathy - while the intended use of the cap today is for the shower, I agree the shape may help with your issue. It is made from materials with similar properties as a rain jacket would have, but to make sure it is an effective shower cap that doesn't trap heat inside and frizz your hair, the material is breathable. I don't think it could give the same warmth as a classic winter hat, but it will certainly help to shield your hair from the elements.
This will be great for preserving my hairstyle during the week! Awesome idea, @Alexandra
@Gabrielle Absolutely! It will help you keep your hair healthy, and you'll get a couple hours back during the busy work week. Thank you for your support!
Would the weight of it be too heavy to say, hold your hairstyle from crushing it?
@Kay Great question! The material is light-weight, which allows it to breathe. Our customers have given us great feedback on this aspect. In fact, here is a direct quote in a recent customer survey we did: "I have short hair so what I really like is that my hair is not "sweaty looking, wet and matted" to my head like it would be after using a conventional shower cap. I run the brush through my hair and it's perfect!" They have also mentioned they love how light-weight it is, since it is easy to travel with and portable to pack.
Great idea. I don't have long hair but I do use a few velcro rollers to help keep my hair styled. Do you think this would work as well with hair rollers?
@Barbara as long as the rollers are a reasonable size, they should fit in the sleeve of the cap. One thing to consider: if the elastic part does not expand large enough to fit around your head with the rollers on, consider pulling the cap on around your neck before putting the rollers in.
@Alexandra Thank you...one more question. The dimensions are 7" x 4"x 1.5"? That somehow doesn't sound right. Am I missing something?
@Barbara The shower cap is delivered to you neatly folded up with a ribbon, and those are the dimensions of the folded cap! You can get a sense for the cap's actual size in the video and photos - it's long enough to fit virtually any hair style.
This "Shower Cap" covers the ears and part of the neck. How are you supposed to wash your ears and not get your hair wet?
@Cheryl Some of our customers tuck the cap behind their ears after it's in place, to be able to wash there while still keeping their hair perfectly dry!
I was struggling with trying to stuff my hair in a shower cap just this morning! The longer it gets the more frustrating it becomes. I love this solution.
@janice As someone with long hair, you'll love the Virtuosa shower cap! Once you familiarize yourself with it, you'll find that it's so much easier than struggling with a regular cap. And it doesn't mess up your long hair!
This would sell quickly if it were in shelves in hair salons! The stylists could show customers how it works and how it could protect that expensive service they just had done in the salon.
I'm sure that's the goal, Sue! I'm sure our Wholesale team is keeping an eye on today.
What a great idea! I have a keratin treatment in my hair so I'm not supposed to wash it every day. I hate how I have to clip my hair up to be able to use a regular shower cap.
Is the cap light enough for me to wear in the pool since the pool chemicals can't touch my hair?
@Mari Lee Thanks for your interest! The Virtuosa shower cap would be perfect for extending the length of your keratin treatment. I occasionally have straightening treatments done at the hair salon, and this cap really helps me preserve the style.
The material for the cap is waterproof, but the cap design is not watertight. So this product would prevent splashes from ruining your hair, but wouldn't keep water out if you submerged your head in the pool. This is a new use that we hadn't considered - thanks for your creativity!
Do you think this would work in a pool as well to help preserve my highlights? I have waist length hair so a swim cap won't work but I think this may. Thanks. Great product!
@Stephanie Thanks for the question, and wow, you're the second person with the idea to use the Virtuosa shower cap in the pool! The material for the cap is waterproof, but the cap design is not watertight. So this product would prevent splashes from ruining your hair, but wouldn't keep water out if you submerged your head in the pool. Hopefully this is helpful!
I see there is no color choice........ I would love one in gold color to match my gold, white & crystal bathroom...Even WHITE would have been a neutral color that could fit anyone's bathroom.......so I'm wondering why you chose this, very specific, and somewhat limiting color choice, for those of us who want to 'color coordinate' our bathrooms?
@Rosalind Thanks for your question! We chose Tiffany blue as our brand's signature color for the first set of Virtuosa shower caps. Our premium waterproof and breathable fabric was custom-made and we could initially only select one color. However, we have plans to offer other colors in the future, and we'll take into account your feedback for a more neutral shade!
I was also wondering about color choice and agree a gold would be nice or dark taupe (ok, I'm not a blue person). Also what is this lined with?
@Nora Thank you for your feedback on color choices! The soft polyester is coated on the inside with a thin layer of vinyl-like material. This makes the cap waterproof and breathable at the same time - it repels water droplets but doesn't trap steam on the inside.
You described a problem with traditiinal shower caps as "your hairline gets wet around your forehead the nape of your neck...", yet the Virtuosa cap is not watertight. How does it prevent this problem?
@Pamela Hi, thanks for your question! The Virtuosa shower cap is not watertight if you were to submerge your head underwater, but it repels streams/drops of water (like in the shower, or even outside in the rain).
As long as the waterproof elastic headband covers your hairline, your hair won't get wet in the shower! And because of the way you put the Virtuosa shower cap on - pulling it back over your hair like a headband - it's easy to make sure every strand of hair is securely in the cap.
I would take this with me when I get a massage. My long hair gets in the way of the massage therapist, clips are uncomfortable, and the massage oils get in my hair as well.
That's another great use, Kimberly!
@Kimberly Great idea! I think the Virtuosa shower cap would work well for facials and other spa services, too.

The United States is in the opening stages of what looks like a severe flu season this winter, yet it has far less vaccine on hand than was available last year to combat a relatively mild epidemic. The manufacturers misjudged how many doses they would be able to sell and thus found themselves short when a variety of factors conspired to drive up demand beyond expectations. As federal officials scramble to find additional supplies, they must also find ways to avoid a repeat of this year's shortfalls.
In each of the last several flu seasons, the manufacturers produced more vaccine than they sold and had to throw away millions of doses because the vaccine has a limited shelf life. This year, the three manufacturers supplying the American market said they made 85 million doses. That is 8 million to 10 million fewer doses than last year but far more than have actually been used in any previous epidemic.
This year, however, people became nervous after the early arrival and apparent severity of the first influenza outbreaks in the West. To make things worse, health authorities made a concerted effort to urge early vaccinations for even healthy people who are not in the usual high-risk groups for influenza complications. For the first time in recent memory, there may be less vaccine than people want, and certainly far less than would be needed to vaccinate all 185 million people for whom the vaccine is recommended or suggested.
For the future, federal officials are pondering whether to buy their own supply of vaccine for emergency use or to guarantee to pay the manufacturers for unsold doses, so companies would be more willing to provide a cushion to meet unexpected demand. That plan would make sense, provided the manufacturers were reimbursed at cost and not given a profit on the excess production.
Government experts and the industry could also look hard for ways to resume production quickly should supplies run short.
In the long run, health officials need to step up their efforts to educate the public about the value of vaccination so a much larger group of people becomes accustomed to getting a flu shot every year. That would make demand more predictable and would greatly expand the market, encouraging more companies to compete, thereby driving down prices and providing a buffer should any company encounter manufacturing problems. More widespread vaccination would also be good for the nation's health.Continue reading the main story

So Shines A Good Deed
by Rob Morris
The plans of a deceased madman had borne fruit, and what would come to be called The War Of The Horns had begun in earnest. Across the world, odd girls of various ages were killing people in numbers to numb the soul. Again, the schemer behind all this was dead, as was the girl who would have led these other girls. Yet some for alienation, some for payback and some just because it was fun, these girls were coming very close to lighting the fuse on the apocalypse.
But not in Kamakura. Partly, this was because for many years, no hospitals received the kind of scrutiny those in Kamakura did. The other reason was one born of superstition and legendry. These girls knew on some level that their queen had been brought down in the Kanagawa prefecture, and rather than declaring vengeance, they wanted nothing to do with it till their numbers were overwhelming. In short, anything that could bring down Lucy was something the Diclonii did not want to mess with. And the tragic part is, the power that brought Lucy down was one that could have saved them all, if given early enough. But the Humans who had scorned them didn't offer it, and they would no longer take it if offered.
There was exactly one of these girls in the entire Kanto region, and her major beef was her best friend's dog waking her up in the morning by way of endless playful licks on the face. Besides, government forces knew all about her and were in fact depending on her existence as a means to figure out strategy. She was safe, and would one day soon be the only one of her kind. One might think this would make her sad, but she and her own kind had never really gotten along.
Now, we join this special girl as she makes a purchase at a boardwalk bakery stand.
"Three of those, please."
The girl handed the merchant a yen-note far larger than the amount needed to pay for the small pastries, and then turned to leave at a good clip. The merchant shook her head.
"Oh no you don't!"
Darting out from behind her counter, the merchant, Ani, cornered the girl by way of a short cut.
"Trying to pass counterfeit bills, young lady?"
The girl gulped and was so nervous, her limbs were in danger of falling off.
"Nana wouldn't pass phony money-that money came from Papa!"
"Yet you paid and ran off-rather suspicious, don't you think?"
A voice came from what had been a hiding place.
"If it were counterfeit, wouldn't she have gotten change from it, or bought a lot more?"
The merchant was ready for this.
"She could just be nervous, or not very good at this."
Nana rolled her eyes and talked to the hiding place.
"I told you this wasn't a good idea."
"You there-come out and join your friend."
The girl in hiding emerged, and was known to the surprised merchant.
Mayu nodded.
"Ani-San, the money is real. I just didn't know how to get it to you so that you couldn't say no."
The woman ignored the situation at hand and asked a question that had been on her mind for over a year.
"Are you all right, Mayu-chan?"
Mayu smiled.
"The people at Kaede House took me in, and I go to a nearby school. Kouta and Yuka are very nice to me, and I always have plenty to eat."
A small figure walked out from behind Mayu and happily yelped.
"So does Wanta."
If, for reasons of propriety, the woman was hesitant to embrace the once-homeless child, she was much less so with the small dog, who knew her and made his positive opinion of her known.
"Oh, I've missed the two of you! Mayu-chan, why did you try this?"
Mayu took Ani's hand.
"You have to ask?"
"For bread crumbs? Stuff I would have thrown away?"
Mayu seemed ready as well.
"You could have sold those to ladies who wanted to use them for croutons, or as coatings for meat. On bad days, those sales could have made all the difference. But you gave me that, and then-that beautiful birthday cake. Please accept the money, Ani-San. I can't overlook a debt like this. Not when you kept me and Wanta alive long enough for things to get better."
This time, rules and protocol were not enough to keep them from embracing.
"You don't know how many kids like you I see, wherever I set up shop. You don't know how often I've wanted to do something, anything, but so many of them have been hurt so much, they can't trust enough to even ask for help anymore. You say you're in my debt? No, silly-I'm in yours. Helping you in the small ways I did helped me to sleep at night."
The tears were abundant and flowed freely and loudly. Just not from either Mayu or the woman nicknamed Ani.
"Oh, this is so beautiful! Nana is so moved by this joyous reunion!"
Mayu pointed at the weeper.
"That-is my sister, Nana. She's a little strange, but she's a good egg."
Ani raised a finger in the air.
"Umm-just how many young women live in that place?"
The two 'sisters' responded as one.
"That's really complicated."
Ani took the hint and returned the note.
"The bread crumbs, like the cake, were gifts freely given. As to the pastries you purchased? Business is really good right now, except for now in the mid-afternoon. If you two help me load and unload some supplies, we're all even, alright? Can you handle that?"
Nana's right arm fell off, but was quickly reattached.
"Yeah, we can."
Ani led them over to put them to work. Both had stories of a happier life since entering Kaede House, and she was overjoyed to hear every last word.
"Wait-should you call anyone?"
Nana nodded.
"Don't worry-they usually show up anyway. She gets upset a lot, and he always asks a lot of questions-but mostly we ignore her getting upset and we don't answer the questions."
Ani smiled and pulled out her cell-phone.
"In other words, you have to call your Mom and Dad."
Outside of Kamakura and the surrounding area, a great war continued. Inside it, three people celebrated the simple act of giving a damn about the fate of a fellow Human being. In short, they celebrated caring.

Amazon.com Review
It has been said often enough that baby boomers are a television generation, but the very funny novel High Fidelity reminds that in a way they are the record-album generation as well. This funny novel is obsessed with music; Hornby's narrator is an early-thirtysomething English guy who runs a London record store. He sells albums recorded the old-fashioned way--on vinyl--and is having a tough time making other transitions as well, specifically adulthood. The book is in one sense a love story, both sweet and interesting; most entertaining, though, are the hilarious arguments over arcane matters of pop music.
From Publishers Weekly
British journalist Hornby has fashioned a disarming, rueful and sometimes quite funny first novel that is not quite as hip as it wishes to be. The book dramatizes the romantic struggle of Rob Fleming, owner of a vintage record store in London. After his girlfriend, Laura, leaves him for another man, he realizes that he pines not for sexual ecstasy (epitomized by a "bonkus mirabilis" in his past) but for the monogamy this cynic has come to think of as a crime. He takes comfort in the company of the clerks at the store, whose bantering compilations of top-five lists (e.g., top five Elvis Costello songs; top-five films) typify the novel's ingratiating saturation in pop culture. Sometimes this can pall: readers may find that Rob's ruminations about listening to the Smiths and the Lemonheads?pop music helps him fall in love, he tells us?are more interesting than his list of five favorite episodes of Cheers. Rob takes comfort as well in the company of a touring singer, Marie La Salle, who is unpretentious and "pretty in that nearly cross-eyed American way"?but life becomes more complicated when he encounters Laura again. Hornby has earned his own place on the London bestseller lists, and this on-the-edge tale of musical addiction just may climb the charts here. First serial to Esquire.

At turns hilarious and morose, this is a wonderfully written character sketch about a guy who carries the story through bad dates, bad choices, a failing business, hapless employees, and odd behavior. Having seen the movie first, it's briefly jarring to find the story taking place in England, but the story itself is intact ... or perhaps I should say the movie artfully captures the slightly dysfunctional approach to romance of the book.
Rob is thirty-five going on twenty. His is a character that one feels flashes of sympathy for, but not as often as one wants to kick him in the rear and tell him to grow up and get a life that exists at least some of the time out of his head. (I read this long after seeing the movie and I must say that John Cusack does a brilliant job of bringing Rob to life on the big screen).
Rob's existential crisis revolves around women and his inability to sustain a good relationship. They always leave him (for the most part) and he has no clue that this is just how some relationships end or that he is usually the author of his own rejection. The book revolves around Rob's listing of his five most searing break-ups and his attempt to reconnect with his former flings to answer the question "why?" The larger story is Rob himself and the departure of Laura, the most significant love of his life who has just moved out after sharing a flat (this takes place in London) with him for years. Rob's day job, a fantasy small business where he indulges his preoccupation with pop music and a snobbish world view driven by other's appreciation of the "right" or "wrong" songs, is as much of a disaster as his love life.
Nick Hornby mines both lives for a lot of laughs. His writing is funny and descriptive and one gets to know Rob well (though one does not like Rob at all). This book had a lot of laugh out loud moments. I suspect there might be a little bit of Rob in a lot of guys - though I think maturity and living help stamp out the narcissism and utter self-absorption in those of us who go on to enjoy at least a modest success in our romantic and other lives. There is a lot to be said for growing up and learning - one is unsure if Rob will really embrace those concepts while reading this enjoyable book.
High Fidelity
I was a bit hesitant about reading "High Fidelity," since I know nothing about the current (even remotely current) music scene. I think I could recognize a Frank Sinatra rendition, or maybe even Simon & Garfunkel, but other than that, it's strictly the ancient guys. But although pop music was woven throughout the entire novel, it never sidetracked me from Hornby's main focus on the characters: Rob (the narrator and protagonist), Barry, Dick, and Laura.
Rob is obsessed with sex - and even more obsessed with thinking about it. Nothing unusual or wrong with that. More power to him. You even love him for being so flummoxed by sex. He also thinks a lot about his life - how baffling it is and how unfair that it hasn't turned out better for him. He just sort of bumbles along, then makes lists when prospects seem too overwhelming.
What I like so much about Rob (and other Hornby characters) is that the reader gets to peer inside their heads. You get to know what they are really thinking. Not that their thinking is particularly profound. It's just a sort of puttering along, here and there, without much focus. And that seems (and feels) so human. 4-1/2 stars
Rob falls in and out of love at equal speed and his conquests usually desert him rather than the other way around, leaving him constantly pitying himself. He is one mixed up person.
The author's 'stream of consciousness' writing style made it difficult to follow the threads of the plot, but as a movie was based on the book, I can't help feeling I must have missed something important.
I rate it 2,5 stars.

Learn about OSU Tulsa SAT prep course, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and OSU Tulsa scholastic aptitude test information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for OSU Tulsa.
Regarding whether to choose the SAT or ACT, there is no penalty for guessing wrong answers on the ACT, but on the SAT, incorrect guessing is penalized. Some SAT questions can be trickier while some ACT questions may be longer. The ACT has more questions geared to higher levels of mathematics, suggesting that students who do well in math may perform better, but that the SAT may be a better choice for students with a strong vocabulary.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting test scores into admissions criteria. One benefit of the ACT test is that it allows you to select specific colleges to which to send scores. Students should practice taking the test under simulated testing conditions, and wear a large watch with a sweeping second hand. On average, over half of those retaking the SAT or ACT tests saw improvements in their scores. Beyond degree requirements such as OSU Tulsa SAT Test, you may consider Indian River State College GMAT test scores for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

The Most Challenging Healing
It doesn't happen only to the elderly. Pregnancy, childbirth and aging can all increase the likelihood of a weakened pelvic floor, which can lead to incontinence, painful intercourse and organ prolapse – even in younger women.
You're not alone. These problems are common. As many as one in three women will experience them, though only a tiny fraction will seek help. And solutions are often simple, like special exercises, biofeedback and yoga.
The first step is talking with one of the INTEGRIS Women's Health board-certified urogynecologists, like Dena O'Leary, M.D. or Benjamin Barenberg, M.D.
Don't suffer in silence. Take that step today.

INTEGRIS is dedicated to providing women with a full range of medical and surgical therapies to assist in treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence, as well as pelvic organ prolapse. Symptoms often include leakage of urine with exercise, coughing or laughing; or the feeling of a bulge at the vaginal opening. Some women may also experience urinary frequency or urinary urgency.
Women of all ages can be affected and risk factors include family history, obstetrical history, repetitive heavy lifting and chronic constipation.

****Third Place Winner in the Judge's Choice****
Entry for the Public Lovin Fanfiction Contest hosted by GossipLips, JandMsMommy, and Miss January
-PublicLovinFanfictionContest dot blogspot dot com-
Title: Desire and Thirst
By: Deebelle1
Beta'd by the über talented and extraordinary Brie. She's the best and I love her!
So here is my second entry for the contest. I hadn't planned on writing another one, but I got drunk and this was the result.
Summary: Hunger consumed us every moment of forever. Jasper and I walked the earth together yearning for the day our thirst for blood could be quenched. All it took was one fateful night and her, to change everything we thought we knew. That desire could overtake our thirst. Entry for the Public Lovin FF Contest. 18 and over only please.
Disclaimer: I've never written a vamp fic or a threesome before, but go big or go home, right? If either of those are hard limits for you, STOP RIGHT HERE!
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Desire and Thirst
The warm weather had drawn out the college crowd. They wanted to enjoy one of the last warm nights that autumn had to offer before the winter weather and studying took precedence to fun. Jasper and I were in search of something to eat and fuck.
A nightclub was as good as place as any to find either a criminal to drink or an all too willing body to desecrate before draining. We scanned the room in search of our prey, both using our gifts to find a victim.
The music was loud, the bass high. Strobe lights pulsed with the beat of the music. It was hotter and more humid inside than it had been outside; Jasper and I could smell the pheromones being secreted by the ready, willing, and able bodies. I tasted the air until I found what I was looking for.
My eyes locked upon a girl whose friends had identified as Bella. Even from the distance between us, I could smell her sweet blood in the air. Apple pie fresh from the oven on a hot summer day. She brought memories of my mother cooking in the kitchen. It called to me and it took all my control to stay planted in my seat. My hunger was fierce and I had to have her, but for now, I watched and waited.
I listened as her friends purchased a couple more drinks. According to her friends, she needed to have some fun since her parents had died and left her all alone in the world. She was a perfect candidate indeed. No one would miss her.
I watched Bella for over an hour. She continued to consume a few more drinks and her friends were worried she'd take it too far and ruin their evening. When they had suggested the night out earlier, they hadn't anticipated she would get smashed. They bought her a bottle of water in hopes of helping her re-hydrate before she consumed anything else. Bella told them not to worry and to just have fun; she'd be okay.
I turned to Jasper to see if he'd selected his meal, and he appeared to be hypnotized by his prey. I followed his gaze to see what had appealed to him and was shocked to discover the girl I wanted was who he desired as well. I really hoped we could reach an agreement over her. I really didn't want to give her up.
The more inebriated the girl became, the easier it was for me to resist the call her blood had on me. Her saccharine aroma still sang to me, but it had been dulled because of the alcohol. Jasper, on the other hand, wasn't having it as easy because the things she was feeling continued to entice him. According to him, her emotions were an intoxicating blend of lonely, content, and horny all rolled into one. It made him feel good, something he didn't get to embrace often.
"I don't think I can stay away," he said as his eyes roamed over the petite brunette's body, causing him to lose control of his gift.
"Rein it in," I whispered, too low for the human ears around us.
He tore his gaze from the girl and noticed his power had caused quite a few people to pair up and start making out.
I chuckled at their thoughts once his influence had been removed. Some had started to question their sexuality, since they had enjoyed kissing someone of the same sex. Others, though, had not been drunk enough to understand why they had done what they did, and the last few were thinking about asking their partners to take the fun elsewhere.
It was amusing to watch.
Sorry, Jasper thought.
I acknowledged his thought with a tip of my head. I quite enjoyed their little show.
The object of our desire was now dancing in the middle of the dance floor without a care in the world. Her friends had abandoned her to dance with a couple of guys they thought were hot.
She was an enigma to me. I couldn't hear her internal voice and I wasn't sure how I felt about that.
On one hand, I was rejoicing because she was the first being, human, vampire, or werewolf alike, who was able to repel my gift. On the other, I had an innate need to know exactly what she was thinking about.
The thing that stunned me the most was, when I focused on her, all those around me disappeared too. I hadn't realized it either until Jasper nudged me.
"Are you all right, Edward?" he asked, obviously sensing my changing emotions.
"I can't hear her," I said, dumbfounded. "She's completely blank to me, and when I focus on her everyone else's voices are gone as well."
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked.
I nodded. It would just take some getting used to. The quiet was becoming enjoyable.
Jasper sometimes considered his ability a hardship, especially when the fear and pain of our victims took over. He'd worked long and hard to build up a wall around himself so he could survive the feed. After all, we were vampires. We needed blood to live.
We didn't enjoy taking lives to provide ours, but the secret must be kept. We couldn't leave witnesses or the Volturi could show up an end us at any time. We were kinder than others of our kind. We provided our victims with ultimate pleasure before we took their lives from them.
The club already smelled like sex. Their bodies were grinding into one another as they danced to the pulsing beats of a remixed Usher's Climax. I bet she smelled as good as she looked.
I watched a bead of sweat as it dripped down the side of her face. I followed it as it continued to move over her carotid artery, and I focused on it for a seconded as the blood pulsing through it drew me in. Sadly, for now, I tore my eyes away and followed the drop of sweat as it disappeared beneath her navy blue tank top.
Jasper and I shared a silent conversation. We'd let her choose which of us she wanted. The other would pick someone else to feed upon. The reward of her was worth the risk of disappointment.
We both approached her as one of Rihanna's songs began to play.
Yellow Diamonds in the light
And were standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
My hands reached for her hips and I pulled her against me, my body molding to hers as Jasper approached in front of her. Her breath hitched and she looked over her shoulder and into my eyes. There were full of questions, but I shook my head. They could be answered later. She allowed her body to relax and she began to move with me.
She tilted her head back onto my chest and closed her eyes. I led her to the beat of the song as I watch Jasper shift into our space. When Jasper finally did close the distance, her eyes popped open as if she could sense him in front of her.
He tipped his head to greet her and then joined in the rhythm we had established. Within moments of Jasper joining us, one of Bella's hands had found its way into Jasper's blond waves and he leaned down to capture her mouth in a searing kiss. I was unable to look away as they deepened the kiss.
He took her lower lip between his and sucked on it. I watched as she pulled back a little and licked his top lip before pulling it into her mouth to nibble on.
It turned me on in ways I never expected as I watched her return the kiss with equal vigor. Feeling like she had chosen him, I began to pull away, but before I could get far her tiny hand wrapped around my wrist. She broke the kiss and turned to face me.
Jasper's thoughts had been blocked to me the moment she touched him. I could sense he was trying to tell me something, but I didn't have a clue what it was, since I couldn't hear him. Besides, Bella was now the focus of my attention.
She stared at me for a beat, searching for something before she finally spoke. "Kiss me."
Her voice was like dark chocolate, rich and alluring; at least, what I remembered it to taste like. There was nothing I could do but comply with her demand. Her warm lips and hot breath lit my cold, stone-like body on fire. She was perfection, but I wasn't any closer to understanding which of us she was going to choose.
When she released me from the kiss to breathe, she stared deep into my black eyes. Whether it was my hunger or lust that had turned them that color, I wasn't sure. I could do nothing but stare at her into her lust-filled cinnamon eyes.
In my peripheral vision I watched as she took Jasper's hands and placed them on her breasts. I growled while he groaned. I was sure she was responsible for climate change. My cock was hard as steel and I could tell Jasper was in the same predicament I was.
Everything felt like it was happening at warp speed, but it had only been fifty-six seconds since she ensnared us under her spell. There would be no turning back from what was starting.
We found love in a hopeless place
I realized she wanted us both. There was no turning back now. We both wanted her too.
We found love in a hopeless place
The three of us moved through the mass of people and into a dark corner. There was no time to find a more remote location. Based on the noises I could hear, we weren't the only ones who would be fucking in here.
We found love in a hopeless place
Like a siren, she called to us, owning us without trying. One night would never be enough. I knew when all was said and done I wouldn't be able to kill her, and apparently, neither could Jasper. It was hopeless.
We found love in a hopeless place
The bottom line was that we were both fucked. This wasn't a life we would wish upon anyone, but we knew we couldn't let her go. She was destined to become one of us.
The music changed, and Tyrese's Sweet Lady began. It was such a sensual song.
The beat flowed and I couldn't control my need for her. I slid a leg between hers and she ground down onto it. I squeezed her ass, careful to avoid touching Jasper. I needed more, though, so I raised her skirt so I could feel the soft suppleness of her skin.
I took extra care to avoid bruising her fragile body. The initial contact of my cold touch to her warmth caused goose bumps to rise. It took a couple minutes for her body heat to penetrate mine and allow the bumps to go away. Her skin was like velvet, and it felt incredible to be able to caress her.
I allowed my hands to wander further since she hadn't complained. I reached under her shirt and unclasped her bra. I pealed the straps down her arms and then pulled the black lace down the front of her shirt without actually exposing any more of her flesh to our eyes.
She moaned and arched her back as Jasper's hands caressed her bare breasts under her top. I wanted nothing more than to see them in all of their naked glory, but I wasn't sure how she would react. We were in public, and though it didn't seem like it, I was a gentleman.
I couldn't resist, a gentleman or not. I wanted to watch his hands fondle her. I wanted to see what shade of pink her nipples were. I wanted to taste them. So I pushed her shirt up and exposed her chest to darkness.
The benefit of being a vampire allowed me to see the pale blush of her nipples. Jasper's cold hand had worked them into stiff peaks. He released one and I was able to suck it in my mouth and ever so carefully lick and nibble on her. I focused on keeping my teeth from nicking her skin as we took turn pleasuring her.
I could hear the sound of their kisses as I feasted on her breast. Her heart was pounding away in her chest and her breath was ragged. I loved the sounds she was making.
Our hands jointly roamed her body. I had one hand massaging her ass and the other kneading and pinching at her tit. Jasper had one on her other breast and his right was under her skirt and in her panties, rubbing her wet pussy.
She smelled incredible and I needed a taste. I dropped to my knees and tore the matching black lace thong from her body. Being so close to her nectar made me moan in delight.
I'd never been more thankful to have perfect vision in the dark.
Jasper, ever the southern gentleman, spread her bare lips between his index and ring fingers and continued to rub her clit with his middle finger.
I was mesmerized as I watched her become wetter with his ministrations. When I couldn't take it anymore, I leaned in and took my first taste.
Her essence exploded on my tongue and I growled with pleasure. She tasted like the sweetest of salted caramels and lavender. My thirst for her blood was forgotten as I drank her in.
With my heightened senses I was able to listen as Jasper verbalized our desires.
"Are you enjoying this as much as we are?"
She moaned in response.
"Does Edward's tongue feel good? I bet you taste as amazing as you smell." He took a deep breath and increased his pressure on her clit.
"Have you ever had two men do this to you before?" She must have shaken her head in response.
"You have no idea how much I―we enjoy knowing that we get to give you this experience. I wonder if you'd enjoy having us both fuck you at the same time as well."
Her emotions must have given her away. "Oh, you want that don't you? Edward pounding into you pussy while I fuck your ass?"
My cock was stiff and ready. Her human body wouldn't be able to take us without being prepared, so I used her juices and a bit of my venom for numbing to allow Jasper a smooth entry into her body. I started slowly and continued until she was taking three of my fingers up her ass.
She was ripe and ready for the taking.
I stood back up and lifted her off the ground. I'd already released my cock from its confinement in my jeans while I was kneeling at her alter. I moaned as she licked her juices off my face. There was nothing sexier to me than a woman who enjoyed the way she tasted.
Jasper undid his pants and had coated his length in her wetness. I had a hard time containing my need for her, but my need to know she was okay with his intrusion into her body outweighed my need for instant gratification.
We'd never done this before, sharing a woman.
Vampires were possessive creatures and the fact that this woman could entice two of the fiercest ones to cooperate together proved she was special.
I think the bond we had developed as brothers and the connection Bella had to us both prevented our nature defense mechanism from kicking in.
She groaned as Jasper seated himself inside her tightness. I rocked her gently in my arms to help her get used to the fullness she hadn't experienced before. It was incredibly difficult to retain from joining with them immediately.
It wasn't long until before I could feel all the tension in her body give way to the pleasure and I was able to enter her as well.
It was a tight fit, but her body was made for us. Only a thin bit of skin separated Jasper and I inside her. It was an odd feeling being able to feel each ridge of his cock so close to mine, something I had never anticipated feeling before or liking as much.
I looked into his dark eyes and felt his lust hit me full force. I groaned and my knees almost gave way to the onslaught of enhanced emotions. He seemed to be enjoying the connection as much as I did.
With Bella's legs balanced on Jasper's forearms and his hand now gripping torso, we began to move.
It was a marvelous experience, having her bounce up and down on my dick. She was so wet, but her pussy was like a vacuum around me, sucking me deeper within her body with each downward moment Jasper made.
The synchronicity of our movements matched the beat of the new song the DJ was playing, one I didn't recognize. In-out, swivel-grind, up and down. Rocking to and fro, I got to witness the ecstasy on her gorgeous face.
We weren't quiet by any means, so thankfully the blaring music concealed the noises we were making. Not that we would have stopped. Jasper or I would have just snapped the neck of anyone who threatened to disturb us.
Still, as people moved throughout the club, we found paradise together. I watched as Jasper used his gift to make her come over and over again. She convulsed around me so many times as I fought the urge to come myself. I didn't want this moment to end.
The songs kept changing, and Jasper was unrelenting. His focus was solely on the two of us, and when it seemed like Bella wouldn't be able to handle any more, he pushed a final burst of euphoria out and we came together.
Spurt after spurt erupted from my cock and coated the inside of Bella's pussy. I could feel each of Jasper's twitches as he came. Bella had come so hard that final time that tiny tremors still shook through her as we came down from our high.
Tonight had been magical, and beyond anything either of us had ever expected when we entered the club. Bella was a gift and we would cherish her forever.
She was our redemption and persecution all rolled into one. With Bella so sated I was able to finally hear Jasper's thoughts and they melted with my own. We wanted her with us forever. Normally I wouldn't wish this life of blood and lust on anyone, but I knew I couldn't live without her and neither could Jasper.
"Please. Say you'll be ours," I begged. I couldn't imagine living for eternity without her by our sides.
She was the balm to our damned souls.
"We'll give you the world and worship you forever," Jasper stated as he cupped her cheek in his hand and stared into her dark orbs.
With that one word, she sealed her fate and owned our unbeating hearts.
There in the dark corner, where only Jasper and I could see clearly, we each bit down on her neck. An immortal kiss, if you will, taking in her essence to nourish our bodies before finally injecting our venom into her.
I didn't know it could be like this. We'd never shared a feed before. It was pure ambrosia, so sweet and tangy. It was like her blood sang to us both.
No, it wasn't the smartest place to begin her transformation, but waiting wasn't an option. Thankfully the loud music and Jasper's ability were able to conceal and keep her noises to a minimum as we darted out the back of the club and to our car.
We drove her to the tiny cabin we'd been renting in the woods so she could complete change into a vampire. Her transition was moving faster than normal. We assumed it was because of the fact that she had two different makers rather than the usual one.
Everything about her became more defined. Her human scent had altered from a warm apple pie aroma into a succulent, spiced caramel that was similar to the way arousal has tasted. Jasper and I wanted to do nothing more than lick her from head to toe. She had bewitched us before, but now we coveted her completely. We would cherish her for all time, even if sharing would be difficult. It was better than the alternative of her choosing only one of us.
When her heart sped up, Jasper and I each took submissive positions at the foot of the bed. Waking from the change could be overwhelming and that was last thing we wanted her to feel. With the last beat, we held our unneeded breath and froze. It was all in her hands now.
We listened and waited. She hadn't moved yet, almost as if she was scared of what might happen if she did. Five minutes passed before she finally took a breath and tasted the smells around her. She sat up so quickly that she startled herself. It was hard to hold my laughter, but I did. I wanted so badly to say something, but both of us waited her to speak.
"Where am I?" she asked.
We both looked up at the same time. Her red eyes pierced me directly in the heart, and I purred. She was my mate. Her eyes darted to Jasper and he purred as well. I guess she was his mate, too. I never thought I'd be willing to share my love with anyone else, but I trusted Jasper and knew he would protect her just like I would.
Her responding growl and tantalizing gaze sent a shiver down my spine. I wanted her. We both did.
When she spoke again, I knew she had finally grasped what had happened and I couldn't be more grateful for her the word she spoke as her eyes darted between us.
Thank you for reading. Let me know what you naughty h00rs think! ;o)

NRL heavyweights Todd Greenberg and Shane Richardson head the list of potential successors after Dave Smith on Tuesday called time on his three-year reign as a rugby league "change agent".
Smith formally finishes up on November 30 and believes he's leaving the game in good shape, despite ending his tenure as chief executive in the middle of the league's billion-dollar TV rights negotiations.
"I'm going to take a bit of a break and spend some time with my girls," said the father of two.
Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) chairman John Grant will take over as interim CEO while a worldwide search is conducted for a successor and is refusing to guarantee a permanent replacement will be appointed by the start of the 2016 season.
"The end job for the commission is to get the right person," said Grant, indicating the NRL would prefer to appoint an in-house candidate despite engaging a leading recruitment firm to scour the globe.
Greenberg, the former Canterbury boss and now the league's head of football, is the early favourite, while Richardson – a long-time senior official at Cronulla, Penrith and South Sydney and currently the NRL's head of game strategy and development – is also believed to be in the mix.
Other names being mooted include Bulldogs boss Raelene Castle and former AFL chief Andrew Demetriou.
"Obviously, there was a choice to put a current executive into that interim role but, if you look at our executive team, they are a good solid team who understand their jobs," Grant said.
"It would've been very disruptive to pull one of those out because then we would've had to back-fill that person by moving someone else.
"So we made the decision it was just too disruptive.
"(But) we purposefully brought on people in Dave's tenure as CEO who could potentially be successors to him over the long term. That was the plan.
"In our search for his replacement, it's an internal and external search and we're hopeful internal candidates stick their hand up."
Smith has been a polarising figure in rugby league since taking over from decade-long chief David Gallop ahead of the 2013 season.
A former banker, Welsh-born Smith has been credited with improving league finances but he was constantly at odds with clubs over the direction of the game and how the NRL's revenue was divided up.
His exit was also being linked by some to the ongoing negotiations over the NRL's lucrative broadcast rights, but he insisted that was not the case.
Both Smith and Grant were adamant the contribution had been overwhelmingly positive.
"I've been a change agent for most of my career and the time has come for me to hand over to a new leader to consolidate these gains and I finish with pride in the game's achievements," Smith said.
"Together with the ARLC, the 16 NRL clubs and the state leagues, we have made significant progress in modernising rugby league and, having assessed our progress and year-end position, it is clear we now have the foundations in place for long-term success."
Grant said although the league "would have liked him to stay longer", the governing body respected Smith's decision to walk away.
"It's not inconvenient. We are very comfortable with where we are," Grant said.
Smith was confident his legacy was strong.
"Our broadcast rights are in really, really good shape," he said.
"I would not be going anywhere if I did not believe the fans were going to get a very good deal.
"We have secured the biggest free-to-air broadcast deal in our history – $1.6 billion for investment in rugby league stadiums and a financial platform that includes a sustainability fund of $50 million and a surplus of $100 million that is progressively being invested back into the game, and a 48 per cent increase in non-broadcast revenue.
"We are consistently enjoying record-breaking Origin and finals series and we have grown significantly with more than 300,000 fans converted into club members … and we've introduced some new products such as the Auckland Nines and World Cup Challenge."

My tendency to over-think things....

Random rant!
I'm an active member on a forum about swinging... I was only judged by a few members there when I shared the whole experience with Fiona and Mario - and even those comments were in the "to each their own" vein of thinking.
Lately, though, I've seen SO MANY people judging polyamory in general and saying the only way poly can work is if it is a harem style set up with one man and multiple women who are basically only used to keep the house, children, and for sex.
It pisses me off beyond belief, and I've been trying not to let it bother me. I mean, these people are entitled to their opinions. If they don't think poly would work, they don't have to attempt it. I guess I just dislike seeing such hatred and ignorance coming from people who would be facing the same hatred and ignorance if their identity as swingers was revealed to many.
Can't we as nonmonogamist at least support each other a little bit?!
I've never felt any judgment on here for being a swinger. I appreciate that.
That is all.

How to Tell Your American Friends You're Just Not That Into Them
You've been abroad for 2 weeks now. The sites are beautifully historic. The people, mysteriously intriguing. The culture full of unlimited explorative possibilities. Then you find yourself, sitting shoulder to shoulder with three New Englanders, filling your hunger for new experiences with…a Big Mac. You my friend have fallen deep down into: THE COMFORT ZONE!!!
You had a plan. You were not just going to be a tourist. You were going to bring a hot European home to meet your parents. You were going to spend your days strolling with other Europeans through beautiful, historic gardens. Your nights would be filled with dancing, laughing and joking until the wee hours, only with foreigners. Now after settling in to your program, it is time to realize that the American friends you have made just will not cut it when it comes to living your abroad dreams. Don't let yourself need a study-abroad-do-over.
In honor of every life-changing experience, we have compiled a few tips to distract your American peers, make international friends and prevent you from spending your semester in the United States of Abroad:
1. Always Be Out of Milk
Look for excuses to wander on your own. A lack of groceries always works. When you're out, talk to anyone who will listen. Make friends with the local business owners in your neighborhood. Go several times per week and learn something new about them. Pub bartenders are usually young and happy to have a friendly conversation.
2. Practice your Southern Drawl
Internationals don't like it when you try to imitate their accent but what they do love is trying to imitate yours. Be willing to listen and laugh along, but be warned, they think every American has a southern accent or is from Southern California.
3. Get your Dan Rather on
There is a general perception abroad that American students are oblivious to the state of the world outside the states. You can fully impress your new international acquaintances with some worldly current events. Think 4th grade social studies but at a bar. Pick up the local paper and flex your brain a little.
4. Not Your Mothers Student Union
American universities' student unions are full of overpriced food and people studying. International university student unions have all that except they also have drinks and dancing. Most of these student unions have a Uni night where students come to hangout. Go there. Meet people a lot like you but from other places.
With these tips in hand it is time to stand up, leave the Golden Arches behind, make new friends and get really uncomfortable. Have any other tips to international friend-dom? Let us know.

In awarding the prize for Best Savory Pie at the big Pie Contest in the Ninth Square last night, Matt Feiner of Devil's Gear Bike Shop announced that he was physically ill from eating too much pie. "I'm not kidding," he said. "I may throw up." But this was because all the pies were so good, he was quick to add.
My family was as excited about the lead-in to the event as we were about the eating at it. We each baked a pie. None of our pies won a prize, but the beauty of the event is that we got to taste many of the winning entries. That's a prize in itself.
Over 80 folks brought pies to "Pie On9" Pie Contest, which benefited CitySeed's Food Stamp Double Value Program. Hundreds were there to eat them. Ashley's provided ice cream to complement the slices.
This was one of those full-blown "On9" affairs with events at multiple Ninth Square storefronts as well as outdoors. We couldn't drag ourselves away from the pie, however. Few could. This felt like a smalltown Midwestern summer pie social, only it was happening in a good-sized Eastern hipster city. At least three mayoral candidates (Harp, Fernandez and Elicker, naturally) showed up, which suggested that this was THE place to be.
Three of my family's four pies were completely devoured. The fourth had a few slices untouched, probably because it contained the single most popular fruit of the evening, blueberries, which are ubiquitous at farmers' markets right now.
Here's the recipe for what I brought. My parents came from the United Kingdom, so I grew up eating a lot of kidney pie. When I became a vegetarian 20 years ago, I needed to find an alternative. I now have this pie (or some variation of it) every year on my birthday. I'm sometimes the only one in the family eating it, but that's mainly because nobody else is as crazy about mushrooms as I am.
Savory Mushroom/Tofu (Fake Kidney) Pie
One pound extra-firm Tofu
One pound Mushrooms
One tablespoon chopped fresh Basil
One yellow onion, or two shallots
One medium-size green pepper
One small tomato
Pinch of chili powder
Two cubes bouillon dissolved in one cup broth (or one cup salty homemade broth)
Olive oil
Simple Pie Crust (with top and bottom crust): water, margarine and whole-wheat flour
Cut tofu into cubes. Fry with a little olive oil in a large frying pan until the tofu is even firmer. Remove from frying pan and place in large bowl.
Fry onions in frying pan.
Chop mushrooms and pepper and add to onions in pan. Add basil and chili powder. Cook a little, then add the cup of broth to the pan. Simmer and stir until nearly all the water has boiled away and a thick gravy is left.
Add vegetable/gravy to tofu in bowl and mix thoroughly. Chop up the tomato and add that too.
Pour contents of bowl into prepared pie crust in average-sized pie plate. Add top crust.
Bake in a 400 degree oven long enough for the crust to brown. Bring to Pie Contest.

After three weeks and a day in Canada, I'm back in the sandbox. I can't decide which weather is worse – the unexpected typhoon-like thunderstorms in Toronto, or the stifling, debilitating heat and sand in Doha. Tough call. It's probably the sand. At least Canada gets breaks from the rain.
But I am happy to be back, if only because I simply could not handle another week in T.O. at the rate I was going. Nobody could. No body could.
It's 10:30 on a Saturday night. I just took an accidental five hour nap. Work starts again tomorrow, so to say I played the jet lag well this time is laughable. I've played my jet lag about as well as the Jays of late. My stars, they're depressing.
Jet lag makes you so crazy, doesn't it? I woke up at 9:30 this morning, and the plan was to stay up as long as possible, finally going to bed at 9:30 p.m. and setting myself straight. By 4 o'clock I was beginning for a nap. By five, I was out cold. I slept through the dinner I promised to make. Winner!
How does one get back into responsible person mode after three weeks of delinquency? Someone seriously please tell me because I need to know. It's concerning that by 3 p.m. tomorrow I'll probably be asking to ditch out early because it's "drinkin time."
Hopefully I have more restraint and class than that but honestly, it will be tough not to follow my every whim and desire any longer. Vacation is the best. In fact, here's DKM (at 4 a.m. looking out at the field at the SkyDome) on the benefits of vacation:
That was a glorious night.
Look for future posts involving airplane travel, Canadian stories and the unending joys of wedding planning. And photos of cats. Lots of cat photos.
