Prep Time
Cook Time
Total Time
A frittata is the perfect dish to make for a large group of people. It looks gourmet and great, but lacks the stress involved in preparing a complicated multi-ingredient/multi-step dish. Once you've perfected a frittata, it's the perfect vehicle to incorporate any other vegetables or proteins you have lying around in your kitchen.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 6 ounce spinach
- 3 slices cacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 Large chopped tomato
- 1 Poblano, seeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 12 Large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated aged cheese
Step 1:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a 10" non-stick pan over medium-heat and sauté mushrooms in oil for 2-3 minutes.
Step 2:
- Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in spinach, and cook for an additional minute or until it wilts.
Step 3:
- Add bacon, tomato, pepper, salt and black pepper and cook, stirring constantly for two minutes. Add eggs and cheese, cook for 3-5 minutes gently lifting edges of Frittata with spatula and tilting pan so uncooked portion flows underneath.
Step 4:
- Put in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until set and slightly brown. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
Step 5:
- Serve on warm platter and cut into slices. Garnish with small mixed green salad.

New York Magazine's Shop-A-Matic Holiday Gift Guide
This Just In: NY Mag's Shop-A-Matic Gift Guide
Remember how New York magazine launched its window shopping service, Shop-A-Matic, in August? Well Shop-A-Matic is back with a gift guide that's organized by personality type and price, so you can shop for gifts for your High-Intensity Boyfriend or your Worldly Dad, and spend anywhere between under $25 and $900 and up from the comfort of your glaring computer screen. Of course, I find myself glued to the "Home-Obsessed Girlfriend" section, and emailing all the links to family with a very indiscreet HINT HINT subject title. If only I'd had the Ikea Kitchen Starter Box in my first apartment, I might not have ordered so much take-out. . . .

MP attacks steel plant 'fat cats'
The government has told MPs it is taking action to tackle the problems facing the steel industry.
In a special debate, UK Industry Minister Alan Johnson urged Corus, formerly British Steel, to "think long and hard before closing any plants like Llanwern" outside Newport in south Wales.
Among problems currently facing Corus is the weakness of the Euro, which makes its exports more expensive.
The government has ruled out intervening to reduce the level of the pound but has appealed to the company not to act in haste.
MP for Blaenau Gwent Llew Smith claimed that when Corus was first formed, its first act was to transfer almost Ł700m to shareholders.
He believed this was nothing to do with any contribution the shareholders had made to the industry's success.
"It's just an example of the corporate greed, of lining the pockets of the fat cats of industry, which has done so much to damage British industry over the years," he said.
Newport West MP Paul Flynn accused Corus of being "very secretive" and failing to open its books in time of crisis so that others could help save the industry.
He said steel contributed six per cent to Wales's gross domestic product (GDP) and warned that thousands of families now faced uncertainty.
"There might well be permanent damage done to these families, to Wales, to Newport and the Welsh steel industry and British steel itself for reasons that are temporary, problems that are temporary, difficulties that are temporary, problems which are already being solved, and disappearing.
Plaid Cymru MP for Caernarfon Dafydd Wigley warned that problems caused by the strong pound, and urged the Treasury to change its strategy so that employment was taken more fully into account in determining policy.
But Mr Johnson assured MPs that the government was taking action but he said there were no simple solutions to the issue
Earlier this week, Corus management said no final decisions have been taken about plant closures in the UK.

Wildlife reading will include:
At The Water's Edge - John Lister-Kaye
A Last Wild Place - Mike Tomkies
The Mole - Kenneth Mellanby
I've spent the last few days trying to add Mole to my Bedfordshire Mammal List for this year. Earlier this week in one small area of Ampthill Park I tamped down all of the molehills and returned 24 hours later to find 43 new molehills!! Within the next hour I came across four separate working Moles throwing up spoilheaps but, try as I might, didn't manage to see the moles themselves. The Mole bulldozes the soil along the tunnel with one of its spade-like front feet so, every time I opened up the tunnel where a Mole was working, a big plug of soil arrived and closed it off a few minutes later! Kenneth's book was published right back in 1971, but it's very readable...and I'm hoping that it will go some way towards helping me see a few of these fascinating creatures...
....Watch this space!
3 comments:
I am surrounded by mole hills - on my own land - but have never seen them in those places. I have found them though on many occasions just crossing the road! I thought that I was seeing things the first time I spotted one. I have picked quite a few up and transferred them to the field so that they wouldn't get run over. They have VERY powerful legs. Keep your eyes open when driving along quiet country lanes and you might drop lucky.ReplyDelete

Thanks, Kerry,ReplyDelete
I remember managing to catch a mole once and trying to hold it by the scruff of the neck - those shoulder muscles/front shovels are incredibly powerful as you say.
I've been for a few more night walks but not seen one yet, though I have seen a few dead ones at the side of the road. I've also seen dead ones at fox lairs in the past, too, so they're obviously around...I shall keep looking and hoping!!

Previous studies consistently ranked marijuana as the safest recreational drug, but it was not known that the discrepancy was this large. [more]

~ MadonnaA Wall Street CEO, TEA extremist and Union dude meet for lunch. Waitress brings over a plate of 12 chocolate chip cookies. The CEO immediately grabs 11 and woofs them down. As the other two sit there in disbelief, the CEO whispers to the TEA extremist, "BE CAREFUL! The Union dude's trying to steal your cookie!"
I say this to anyone who's threatening death in the name of religion or politics:

The Absence of A*L*O*H*A
Unjust wars and occupations radicalize people. The American Right wing secretly knows this but likes the vicious circle it produces. Wars make profits for the military-industrial complex and the resulting terrorism terrifies the clueless U.S. public and helps hawks win elections, allowing them to pursue further wars. And so it goes — until the Republic is bankrupted and in ruins and its unemployed have to live in tent cities.
~ Juan Cole
Spread A * L * O * H * A with the Peaceful Vibrations of Sashamon
I want to introduce all my friends to Sashamon (Sasha Makia Spiller-Reiff). He originates from the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i and brings a unique peaceful vibe to the island music scene in an IRIE mix of Reggae, Rock and Hawaiian in One Day Maybe, his debut album. Sasha says:
"Everything is energy. Music is energy. Light is energy. I think the best art is like a beacon or a lighthouse that illuminates the truth and the beauty and shines on you to create a light inside of you.
It's like if God is the lighthouse, then music is just a part of that vibration. Music at its best, to me, is the cousin of the Creator. And we are creators, creators of life.
I think music is for praise and the illumination of this. If music helps show the innate godliness of ourselves, it can help us to treat one another more like human beings. I think ultimately we're just vessels here to help one another out. I don't think we're here to suffer."

Spread A * L * O * H * A to all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender
A lawsuit filed in federal district court states that Proposition 8 — which eliminated the right of same sex couples to marry in California — creates a class of "second-class citizens" and thereby violates the U.S. Constitution. The suit also calls for an injunction against Proposition 8 until the case is resolved, which would immediately reinstate marriage rights to same sex couples.
The plaintiffs are represented by Theodore B. Olson and David Boies. Olson, a former U.S. Solicitor General, represented George W. Bush in 2000�s Bush v. Gore, which decided the presidential election. Boies represented Al Gore in that case.
"Yesterday, the California Supreme Court said that the California Constitution compels the State to discriminate against gay men and lesbians who have the temerity to wish to express their love and commitment to one another by getting married," Olson said. "These are our neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends, and family, and, courtesy of Prop 8, California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity. Whatever discrimination California law now might permit, I can assure you, the United States Constitution does not."
"Mr. Olson and I are from different ends of the political spectrum, but we are fighting this case together because Proposition 8 clearly and fundamentally violates the freedoms guaranteed to all of us by the Constitution," Boies said. "Every American has a right to full equality under the law. Same sex couples are entitled to the same marriage rights as straight couples. Any alternative is separate and unequal and relegates gays and lesbians to a second class status."

Understanding the Meaning of A*L*O*H*A
When we utter the sacred word of Aloha, we invoke the spirit of Aloha. When Aloha is in action, it is felt on all levels and what is contrary cannot exist simultaneously ... It means each person engaged in Aloha is bound to the principles of truth and right action. When Aloha is enacted, our actions are overseen by the Akua, Na Akua, Na 'Aumakua, Na Kupuna. Each participant can act as he or she chooses but is responsible for his or her own actions and intentions regardless.
It would be a mistake, however, to believe that Aloha demands passivity. Aloha is a state of being and therefore requires action and participation. To be true to Aloha, one must stand for truth, defend the principles that protect the rights of all people and the sacred earth, and resist the affronts to Aloha itself. source

Bad Points
They advertise no ads if you are a Premium (paid) member. Not True.
General Comments
After I went for the paid membership claim, I realized that what they mean is no one but Webshots store can advertise and they include POP UP ads that remain in the middle of your screen until you click out of the add. If you can stand the multitude of ads on the free membership stick with it because it is not much better on the paid membership.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized to Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson on Saturday for using the controversial term "occupied territories," saying he "misspoke" during his speech to a Republican Jewish Coalition event, Politico and CNN reported.
- Follow Ynetnews on Facebook STRONG>
and Twitter
During his address at the event at Adelson's Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Christie spoke of his 2012 visit to Jerusalem, saying he was overwhelmed by displays of religious tolerance in the city.
"I took a helicopter ride from occupied territories across ... and just felt, personally, how extraordinary that was to understand the military risk that Israel faces every day," he said.
Related stories:
- Richest US Jew pledges USD 25 million to Taglit - birthright israel
- Adelson says Jewish group defamed him, seeks $60 million
- US casino mogul donates millions to Yad Vashem
The comment about "occupied territories" drew murmurs from some in the audience.
The Israeli government and by extension most of Israel's supporters in the US don't consider the West Bank and East Jerusalem to be occupied territory.
In a private meeting after the event, Christie, a possible Republican presidential candidate for 2016, apologized to Adelson, who is a big donor of the GPO, according to reports in Politico and CNN.
Quoting a source, Politico reported that Christie "clarified in the strongest terms possible that his remarks today were not meant to be a statement of policy."
The New Jersey governor also "conveyed that he is an unwavering friend and committed supporter of Israel, and was sorry for any confusion that came across as a result of the misstatement."
Sources told Politico and CNN that Adelson was satisfied with Christie's explanations and accepted his apology.
Reuters contributed to this report.

"Airy Fairy"
No, I did not like this book at all.
Anything NOT from this author
I liked that it was only 3 hours long. This book had great reviews from others. I get the higher self thing but I need something a bit tougher than smile and the world will smile with you approach. Maybe I am too stuck in my lower self for this book.
Annoyance....I was waiting for her to breakout into a chorus of Sound of Music.
"Thought provoking reading"
I had previously listened to "Feel the fear and do it anyway"also by Susan Jeffers, and so bought "End the struggle". I found it a very interesting book with many good suggestions and ideas. I had found "feel the fear" to be quite life changing - this book is slightly less so for me but is still excellent. I have listened to it a number of times and implemented those things that seemed right for me. Certain phrases in the book concerning choosing how you respond to events in life have been particularly useful and have passed into the family's vocabulary. Recommended.
"Disappointing after Feel the Fear"
Feel the fear was uplifting, positive and energetic unfortunately this book made me sad, and miserable, the overall message seemed more negative than positive. Not her best book.
It made me very sad and unhappy. I was really disappointed as I was looking for something to follow feel the fear.
"Perfect wisdom"
The answer is in this book listen to it, you will become free it is a valuable source of goodness. I love Susan Jeffers

Last Term, this Court held that in a putative class action "the mere proposal of a class ... could not bind persons who were not parties." Smith v. Bayer Corp., 131 S. Ct. 2368, 2382 (2011).
In light of that holding, the question presented is:
When a named plaintiff attempts to defeat a defendant's right of removal under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 by filing with a class action complaint a "stipulation" that attempts to limit the damages he "seeks" for the absent putative class members to less than the $5 million threshold for federal jurisdiction, and the defendant establishes that the actual amount in controversy, absent the "stipulation," exceeds $5 million, is the "stipulation" binding on absent class members so as to destroy federal jurisdiction?

Welcome to the Library
Yes, we know. You all are very studious already and are probably spending too much time in libraries as it is. We hope you don't mind us asking you to spend a bit more time hitting the "books".
Welcome to the Model Mayhem Library. This is the first of what we hope to be a growing educational section to the Model Mayhem website. The goal is to help everyone interested in the modeling industry learn a little more about their craft.
We currently have the library set up into five distinct sections:
- Modeling – articles and videos giving you tips and tricks to improve your modeling skills.
- Photography – tips, tricks, equipment reviews, etc., all aimed at raising the level of your craft.
- Post-production – everything that takes place after a photo has been taken.
- Style/Makeup – fashion news, techniques, product reviews and other information for all those that make us look beautiful.
- Using MM – because we know it and you know it, there needs to be a user guide to this here website.
Our aim is to provide high quality information on the full range of subjects related to modeling. The articles will be written by respected members of the industry as they share their experience with the rest of the MM community.
If you would like to contribute, please read How to Submit an Article to MM.
We hope you like it and enjoy the information. Let us know what you think by posting in the Site Related Forum.

I remember watching my boyfriend eat quantities of food that I was sure would kill him, but he in fact survived, and didn't gain any weight to show for his gluttony. I used to be comforted by the thought of his metabolism crashing in the next decades to come, which would somehow make all the salads I ate instead of pizza worth it. Now two decades later he is still the same size, even my father who is 64 weighs only 7 more pounds than he did in high school. What gives?!
Well, to simplify, most of the reason men are able to keep slimmer, or at least able to lose weight much easier than women, simply has to do with how they're put together, and how we're not. Men are much more muscular than women, for starters. The more muscle you have, the more calories you require to function on a daily basis, even when your body is resting. Similarly, men are larger than women, and it's simple fact that larger beings require more food and sustenance to break even at the end of the day.
Just those two mass-related factors make a huge difference, but the different hormone composition that men have also make losing and keeping weight off much easier. Women's bodies are designed to bear children, and with this in mind, we're hormonally prone to store fat in our hips, thighs, breasts and stomach area in an effort to be ideally prepared for pregnancy and childbirth. Once the fat is deposited, it's not going to go easily.
Many women hit the gym in an effort to shed the excess fat, but chances are you won't see results on your scale or in your jean size, even after a month of regular and rigorous exercise. Mother nature gave you fat in those places and has biologically set you up so that even with lots of exercise, it's not going anywhere. The fact is, men can get results within two weeks of working out, thanks to testosterone and larger muscles to work with. Women are much more likely to get visible weight-loss results from changing their diet and monitoring their eating.
That isn't to say exercise isn't incredibly beneficial for a whole variety of reasons, it just means that if you're looking to see the numbers go down on your scale and tag of your jeans, pick up a calorie-counting book at the bookstore and steer clear of junk food. Additionally, women's weight loss experts have pointed out the fact that women who rely on gym time to stay slim, often times eat food they otherwise wouldn't, dieting or not. So there it is ladies, if you're looking to pick the diet fight with mother nature, go into it knowing how to battle: decrease calorie-consumption and don't kill yourself at the gym.
Good article.

Pizza Hut is introducing a new interactive screen that lets users make the perfect pizza based on their own senses. The screen is essentially the whole table and gives users a large variety of options to choose from.
Fast food restaurants are constantly vying for positions as the best and brightest technologically. Pizza Hut is making a big case for itself by incorporating this interactive screen that puts the pizza making in the customers hands -- literally.
The users get an image of a pizza on a screen and they throw virtual toppings onto it until perfect. They can even throw side orders in. One of the cooler innovations is also that while the customer waits, the screen acts as a game table with apps as well, making date night even more fun.

We have air award tickets into Maui and out of Hilo, Hawaii in February.
The total number of nights on the Islands will be 18.
We begin in Maui -
Fly to Kauai then
Fly to the Big Island from which we will fly home from Hilo. (Inter Island flights are NOT booked)
My research shows that to rent a car for 4,5,or 6 nights costs the same (nearly) as to rent
for a week. (Also condo rentals want a week for the best rate.) So my thoughts were:
Maui - 7 nights
Kauai - 7 nights
B Island - 4 nights
However, I am beginning to question this plan because the Big Island is, well, BIG.
Background: in 1988 we were on Ohau for 3 nights and Maui for 4 nights.
I KNOW that I want 7 nights on Kauai for sure since we have not been there.
Should I take some nights from Maui and add to Big Island? In 1988 we had 3 daughters with us
aged 19, 16, 10. On that trip we did drive the road to Hana, (marvelous)! but did not do much else.
Seems to me that the best two Islands are Maui and Kauai.
I need your help and opinions to get the right "feel" for this trip before I book Condos!
ALSO: What is the best Condo location for Maui? West coast just north of Kaanapali , South coast near Kilei, or the Lahaina area?
Condo budget is $200 night. (Would like to get ocean view, on the beach for that)?? We like to tour, not too much time in the water, and just relax. We are Seniors.
Thank you travelers!

If you fly in and out of Hilo, i think four days on the BI will give you enough to see the highlights of the Volcano area, and some other sights on that side of the island.
If you want to see more of the island, drive a longer distance, then i would go for seven days there.

It's always a judgment call. If you are beach types - then Poipu on south Kauai - or the Kona side of Big Island - or Maui are probably best for February, but don't miss spending a couple of days up at the Volcano on Big Island.
We are partial to Kauai - especially the beautiful North Shore - but in Feb you could get some weather. While it usually will clear up in a day or so - during that time - some prefer the south side - Poipu - and then drive up to the North Shore on a clear day - but I personally would spend at least a few days up at Princeville/Hanalei.
Our second favorite is Big Island as there is so much to see do.
Maui is also great - and I prefer Kapalua and Napili - the areas just north of Kaanapali - which is just north of Lahaina.
As for best condo (area) - just google and google away to find what suits you.
Report Abuse
Also check out the Napili Sunset - which I think may be a bit above $200 a night - but they might have some deals. http://www.napilisunset.com/
And we own a timeshare at the Cliffs Club in Princeville - and they might have some deals on condos too. http://www.cliffsatprinceville.com/
At either of these places, as with other condos/timeshare resorts - there are owners usually advertising their weeks for rent - which you can pick up for a better deal than what the front desk will charge.

We visit Hawaii to escape Chicagoland winters. I would not stay long on Kauai in winter. Poipu is "OK", but it's the north shore that is *gorgeous*. It's almost certainly going to be wet and windy there in February. Kauai is a small island that feels even smaller because so much of it is inaccessible -- can only be seen by helicopter or boat, neither of which will be operating every day in winter.
Big Island, however, is indeed BIG. You'll want at least a week there if you want sun (Kohala coast, NW) and to see the volcano (SE, wet in Feb.). In one way this island is a lot like Kauai -- not 'typically tropical', but laid-back. Weather should be great in February, just stay out of the vog.
After spending two to four weeks on each of the four major island over 30 years, we bought in South Maui. I like the 'ends' of the island better than touristy Kaanapali. February is the height of Whale Season, best viewed from Maui or Lanai.
You're flying into OGG and 'home' from ITO? You must live west coast or you'd be going via HNL.
Don't wait long to reserve your rental cars. This is High Season; they do run out!
Report Abuse
I forgot to say that the northernmost parts of Maui will be cool and possibly wet too. (Just not as extensive as Kauai and Oahu's northern shores.) You should be OK from Kahana on south. The ocean will be best off South Maui -- look in South Kihei and Wailea.
Also...almost every visitor to Hawaii who is not staying within Honolulu reserves a car for airport pickup. You'll want one fulltime, not just a day here and there. Reserve now.
Island hopping is expensive in time as well as money. You will waste at least four hours of vacation on each hop. Hawaiian Airlines is the best line for reliable service.
Report Abuse
I have only been to the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu. Maui would be third on that list for me.
We just came back from 11 days on the Big Island, splitting our time between Kapoho and Puako. It was not enough. We ran out of time, but we were not on the go the enitre time and took time to do nothing much for three or four days while there.
What do you want to do on Maui? Is there a specific site you want to see there? If the idea is to relax, I think Kauai would take care of that. Cut the time on Maui and add it to the Big Island.
Report Abuse
I appreciate all of your responses. Am thinking to have less days on Maui and more on BI. On Maui we will want to drive the road to Hana again. It was beautiful. We are not really beach people at all. Like to tour and be on the move (as much as seniors can be). I know there in a beautiful canyon area also on Maui that we saw in 1988.?
Is it more convenient to "tour" Maui if we are in S. Kihei than in West Maui? I have read posts on "traffic" jams. Are these more on West maui?
On Kauai I have reserved 4 nights with points at the Marriott Coconut beach Hotel on the east side near Kapaa. Can we use these 4 nights to enjoy the beach and also tour the north side near Princeville etc when weather permits? Then thought we would stay 3 nights on South Kauai near Poipu area and tour Waimea .
Any thoughts on this plan?
Report Abuse
Would always use the points on Kauai if you have them, and while Kapaa is really neither fish nor fowl - it's a good midpoint to go north or south, and there are a lot of dining choices in Kapaa - and it's close to very good snorkeling at Lydgate, and also to the airport.
BTW - I do not consider it by any means wasting half a day to go from one island to another - as it's a very beautiful flight. We have it down to 3 hours even if things are going right.
On Maui - if you leave the Kapalua area early - before the commuters start up - which I would do anyway if I was driving out to Hana - I think you get to the road to Hana about as fast as if you come from Kiehe, maybe a few minutes less.
You might also get up at Oh Dark Thirty and go up to greet the magnificent sunrise at Haleakula - but make sure it's going to be a clear morning, and bring sweatshirts or blankets/towels from the room as it can be a little chilly before the sun comes up.

I know there in a beautiful canyon area also on Maui that we saw in 1988.?
There's Haleakala (the volcano), but the "beautiful canyon area" is on Kauai, not Maui (Waimea, and you already have plans to go there, too).
Report Abuse
"a little chilly": try freezing. As in 40 degrees or even less. I recommend sunset (spectacular) vs. a 3 or 4 a.m. drive up an unfamiliar road in the dark for a sunrise that might not show.
Report Abuse
You all are increasing my confidence, Thanks! I have checked car rentals! High! To get a better rate, they offer about $60. less per week for limited 700 miles, then $.44 per mile after that for both Maui and Kauai. Is 700 miles a reasonable amount for 7 days if we do a fair amount of touring? Should we pay the higher rate and get unlimited miles?
Note - on Kauai we will be at the Marriott Coconut Beach Resort for 4 nights. Might not do as much driving while staying there??
Report Abuse
I think your Kauai plan is a good one. But if you don't like moving around, you can easily access the South Shore (Poipu) from the Marrriot in Kapa'a, too. I stayed there and I liked it for the central location. It's nice -- but not "wow." It was fine for me.
FYI, every year I spend part of January and February on Kauai's North Shore. I have never had consistent rain. I've had showers; times when it poured at night; times when a morning was rainy -- and I've had windy days -- but not like a gale storm -- just "windy."
Last year, during a 4-week stay I had 20 consecutive beautiful days where showers were brief and never lasted more than a few hours. I know the reputation is that the North Shore is wet -- but much (although, not "all") of that rain comes during the evenings; in the middle of the night; and during intermittent showers. I've had very few rainy days that were a complete washout. I think they did have lots of them last March, though.
I'd be hesitant to suggest the North Shore to sun worshippers who had a short trip -- because they could indeed get bad luck. But I'll be back again for four weeks on the North Shore in January/February -- and believe me, I would be miserable if it rained all the time.
PS. Have you tried Hotwire and Priceline for car rentals?
Report Abuse
Seems that I only have enough points for 3 nights at Marriott Coconut Beach Kauai. So any recommendations for the other 4 night location? I am thinking in the South location. Hot wire is definitely cheaper for rental car but cannot be canceled for a refund. May try booking with them closer to the date.
Report Abuse
Be sure to book the best CANCELLABLE car price now; you can always cancel as the date approaches if you find a better deal. But if prices go up, you'll kick yourself.
Report Abuse
Please look at the maps of the islands. There's no need to stay both Kapaa and Poipu. Kauai is small. I'd stay Poipu. Kapaa has no beaches, is windy, has traffic. We have to Waimea Canyon in February on two separate years and seen...a wall of fog. LOL
Might you be thinking of Iao Valley on Maui? (Wailuku)
You can drive from Kihei/Wailea to Kahului in 20 minutes. Kahauli is where you begin the roads to Haleakala and to Hana. It's 40 minutes from Lahaina/Kaanapali to Kahului and even farther from Napili/Kapalua (where I would not be staying in winter anyway). West Maui always has some conngestion around Lahaina -- and road work at the moment.
There is four-lane highway all the way from Wailea to Kahului. The only access to West Maui is via a two-lane road up the mountain from Maalaea to Lahaina. Avoid 'rush hours' when the worker-bees commute to jobs in West Maui. So, yes, South Maui is more conveniently located. Kihei and Maalaea are also less expensive.
I have never seen mileage charges quoted for a rental car in Hawaii! The islands are VERY small. Granted, we do 'home away from home' on Maui since we've already done the sightseeing, but we were there for two months last winter and used two tanks of gasoline. An economy car is fine for two people except on Big Island, where we always rent a mid-size or larger.
I'll be checking car rental rates until we leave. Right now we have an economy from National for $28/day all-in.

I think on Kaua'i it is good to stay as close as possible to the area you want to concentrate on. The distances are not great, but traffic can be slow. I like to wake up and get to the beach as quickly as possible...or whatever the day's destination is. I reaaly don't like to drive for over an hour to get to where i want to spend the day.
Personally on Kaua'i i like to stay as far north as possible for soaking in the wonderful north shore atmosphere. I do not enjoy driving from Ha'ena to Po'ipu at all. So for taking in the southern and western part, i would base in Po'ipu or Kalaheo area.

Sylvia3 - I have booked cars thru National and Hertz on all 3 Islands - but the rates are high!
For Maui and Kauai 7 day rental , Economy rate is $297. with a limit of 700 miles. For Hilo it is a compact for 5 days at $257. I think this is high, but as least I have something reserved while I try to find better rates.
ChiSue - How did you get rate of $28 day from National? Are you renting for a long time? has this been reserved long? Are you booking for the winter months? Only discount I qualify for is AARP. I can get rates from Hotwire of $284. for Maui and Kauai but am reluctant at this time.
I did get REAL brave and booked a 1 bedroom suite oceanfront in Poipu on Hotwire for $148. a night.
I got the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation for 4 nights. I am pleased with the location and the reviews are very good. I did take the $27. insurance policy for what that is worth. I'll probably get Garden View but I will be happy with that.
Did I "shaft" myself?
Our other 3 nights on Kauai I do want to stay on East side or (north?) so we can more easily tour the beautiful NORTH. Still debating if I will use points for the Marriott Coconut Beach for those 3 days. Parking is $14. daily plus NO MEALS and 25,000 points per day! Might be better off also getting a condo in that area where we can cook and park free.
Any 1 bedroom condo suggestions for E,NE, or N for 3 nights?
ChiSue - You have convinced me that for Maui we would be better off staying south - S. Kilei looks best to me. I like the idea of the 4 lane highway and also it will be sunnier.
sf7307 - concerning Waimea Canyon and the fog - can the Outrigger Kiahuna check the weather reports for fog? or do you just go and take a chance?
Any suggestions for our 4 nights on the BI?
Should we just fly into and home from Hilo and do that part of the BI?

Kiahuna Plantation is fantastic - You did good! Even if you're in the building closest to the road (which would be farthest from the beach), it's still great - the condos are nice, but what makes special is the beautiful grounds and great beach it's on. Added bonus - it's across the street from a small center with several decent restaurants.
I don't know whether it's possible to check for fog - it seems to just roll in at will. We took a chance because we were up that way anyway hiking - the weather on our hike (about half-way up the hill) was gorgeous and then we got to the overlook and you practically couldn't see in front of your face.

After you leave Po'ipu, i would go ahead and go all the way up north, at least to Anini. Princeville is popular, lots of condos there. Also you can look on VRBO and the like for 1 br rentals in Hanalei, or farther up in Ha'ena. Or look at Hanalei Colony Resort http://www.hcr.com/ my personal favorite http://www.hawaiirevealed.com/free-travel-info/kauai/kauai-resorts/haena-area/hanalei-colony-resort
Re the fog, i don't think it can be predicted. By the way, don't stop at Waimea Canyon, keep going up until you get to the Kalalau overlook.
On the BI for four nites, i would stay in Hilo area.
You are going to have a great trip!

Sometimes we've found our best car rates through Costco Travel Dept. Sometimes our airline has had something good. We'll take whatever agency has the cheapest rate. Have found no difference in agencies in Hawaii over our 30 years of visiting.
Last winter and Jan. - Feb. 2013 are with National. DH 'joined' their Emerald Club to earn a small disount. (It's also nice to be able to just walk through the agency, choose your car and drive away -- since they have your license and CC info in advance.) Check with your insurance company AND your credit card to see what coverage you already have. We decline the rental companies' insurance. (NEVER choose to let them fill the tank! Do that yourself before turning in the car.) Our rate will be a tad less than $28/day because of our long stay; we'll 'earn' a few free days and have the value deducted from our bill. So...maybe $27/day -- LOL
Kiahuna is nice. Older, frame-construction, but lovely grounds. Hope your unit is nicely refurbished. "Oceanfront" may mean you have a lot of people passing by all enroute to the beach, but, hey, that's a great rate.
Kapaa is going to be traffic-y. It just IS! I think there is now a bypass around it. (Someone know?) Years ago we stayed at Wailea Bay View -- nice little complex facing thebeautiful bay with canoe clubs and once a monk seal. It was nicer before there was a mini-mart on the bedroom side. I thought if we ever stayed again I'd sleep on the sofa bed in the LR facing the bay!
If you really want more days Kauai in winter, just bite the bullet and stay north. *I* would just go up one day from Poipu and tack on to your Big Island stay so that you could stay both Kohala and Hilo-side. (Fly into KOA and home from ITO.)
I like this site for South Maui condos: www.mauiownerconos.com The manager has vetted the units to eliminate any 'dogs'.

I'm envisioning you in airports a lot of the time on this trip.
Lead me through it: Into Maui (nonstop from wherever your home is or via HNL?); off to Kauai (via HNL?); off to Big Island (via HNL?), perhaps into KOA on Big Island and out of ITO (direct home out of ITO or...HNL again?)

FWIW, here's my 411 on the Marriott's on Kauai. We have stayed in all of the Marriott with the exception of the new Marriott Kauai Lagoons. Rooms in February at the Courtyard(which you have reserved) are only $132/night. Their point structure is 25K points/night. At the much nicer Marriott's Kauai Beach Club in Lihue the rates are $231/night, but only 30K points per night. You are going to pay for parking at both places.
We always stay in Kapa'a for at least a week and love it! We stay at the very modest Pono Kai(in March, we are staying there for two straight weeks) which is right downtown old Kapa'a town. Near the Marriott and right behind the Coconut Marketplace is the Aston Islander on the Beach where others have been known to make home for several weeks. I don't believe there is a parking charge.
Kaua'i is so beautiful and it is small so it doesn't really matter where you stay.
Now, for rental cars, you should be able to get unlimited mileage with almost every car rental agency. Are you a member of Costco? Use their website for car rentals if you can.
Have a wonderful vacation.

Wow! What a wealth of info I have now! Thanks everyone.
1) Aloha - have decided to "bite the bullet" and take a chance on the North coast in Feb! I think that is really my vision of Maui anyway with the mountains and WATERFALLS! Have contacted several condos in Princeville area. Availability seems very good for my dates. If it rains a lot we will just have to get wet!
Car Rental - My daughter has a Costco card. Will have her check rates for me. If they are good, then I will get a card. (no Costco in my area)
chiSue - We do belong to National's Emerald club. I used it to book the rentals I have. (Still trying to do better.)
iceeu - Good analysis on the Marriott redemption. We now want a condo on the North so will save the points for another trip.
Think I have Kauai fairly set so will now go back to Maui condo problem. Have decided to stay in S. Kihei for many reasons. Got some info from Maui Sunset. It is across the road from the beach. Would I be disappointed if not directly on the beach?
Report Abuse
nannibray, the very first time we went to Hawaii (25 years ago), we stayed at Maui Sunset. I thought it was right on the ocean? I do remember it was the first time I had ever been able to see the sun just disappear from view and thought it was the most gorgeous sight I had ever seen! We just stood on the lawn at Maui Sunset. I would definitely stay there again.
Did you find a place on Kaua'i yet? Check out vrbo.com or even better and smaller is summitpacific.com You will love staying North!

Maui Sunset is oceanfront in North Kihei -- not a nice swimming/snorkeling beach, but an OK property. It has more long-term rentals than I'd like, but you aren't staying very long. Good beaches are Sugar Beach and the three Kamaole Beach Parks in S. Kihei. (Virtually all of the long coast of Kihei is on "South Kihei Road", but only the portion near the Kamaoles is considered "South Kihei".)
North Kihei and Maalaea have less expensive rentals. Central Kihei is mostly residential.
This site has aerials and reviews. To be walking distance to the Kamaole beaches, start with Maui Vista and go south. www.wizardpub.com There are affordable condos directly across from the beaches. Kihei Road is 20 MPH; sometimes you can really drive that fast along the Kamaole beaches! LOL
Report Abuse
what the heck is wrong with long-term rentals?
Report Abuse
Chi Sue - iceeu2 - So do you think it is better to be ACROSS the road in S. Kihei than to be ON THE BEACH at Maui Sunset? The grounds at Maui Sunset are very pretty. The condos across the road seem more commercial and less grassy landscapes. Do you agree? I talked to one agent (who had no units in her complex) and she recommended to be across the road and BE IN S. Kijei. The complexes across the road are even a bit cheaper than Maui Sunset.
BUT -- we will not spend much time laying on the beach. But would be nice to have it close and convenient .
the other complex I am lookig at is: Kihei Akahi #C607. Need for 6 nights - Feb 13 to 19.
Maui Sunset is A407.

nan, wish I could comment on where to stay on Maui, but I don't really have a clue. Only know that we stayed at Maui Sunset and it was fine!
Did you check discounthawaiicarrental.com for rental cars? I just checked and for a mid sized car for a week is $158 base rate and total of $237 in March on The Big Island and also on Kaua'i. This is unlilmited miles and no charge for additional driver.

I typically find that discounthawaiicarrental.com is the same price as Hotwire--but the difference is that you can cancel with no fee. The only way I've gotten better prices is with Priceline -- but like Hotwire, Priceline requires nonrefundable payment in advance.

Renting where there are more long-term rentals often means more coming and going as workers leave for various shifts, kids are in and out, people have parties -- normal living, but it can be annoying for vacationers. Some vacation rental complexes have 'quiet hours'. (Ours is 10 p.m. - 8 a.m.)
The difference here is being a stroll away from swimming and snorkeling and being 'on sand'. Most BEACHfront condos are older, with smaller units, yet they rent for more.
Condos across from the Kamaole beaches sell for more than those in North Kihei that are not on good beaches. 'The market' thinks they are superior. Condos in Wailea sell for more than those in Kihei too!
If you aren't USING a beach, Sunset may be perfect for you. You'll have a car. You can drive to sample lots of great beaches and restaurants in South Maui. *I* am happy with a nice unit that has ocean view!
You would almost always pay less per night for a full week in a condo than six nights + cleaning fee + resort fee (if any).

Thank you again!!
iceeu2 - I just saved BIG on car rentals. ($100 per week on each of Maui, Kauai and BI) thanks to your recommendation - discounthawaiicarrental.com!!!
Big HUG to you!!
ChiSue - I have had such FUN on www.wizardpub.com!! Thanks. The aerial views are most helpful. I have now decided I want to be in S Kehei at the Kamaole Sands! It is across from a prime beach and the grounds are beautiful. Have inquired at several units (vrbo and flipkey) but have had NO response yet. Hope it is because of the weekend. Also am now working on North shore of Kauai and like The Cliffs and Sealodge - both at Princeville. Again, no responses yet but hope it is due to the weekend. Have not tackled BI yet. only 4 days there and am flying home from HILO. Should I fly INTO Kona - stay 2 nights, drive across island, stay 2 nights in Hilo or just stay all 4 nights in Hilo??
Thanks for sharing!

I think you'll like Kam Sands if you get a refurbished unit. (We'll be just down the way at our condo at Maui Kamaole.)
May I ask what rate you got through the 'discount' site? I've never been lucky with them, but am willing try again!
Some people love Hilo. I'm not one of them. Hilo almost never dries out -- nice if you are an orchid, an insect, or mold. (I have mild asthma.) It's mainly a government town and commercial port, and has sort of prided itself on its' distain for tourists. You could stay Kohala area and take the northern route through Waimea and along the Hamakua Coast for an overnight (two?) at Volcano. (Honestly, I'd just plan into ITO with two nights Volcano, then home, presuming VNP is the main reason for this island in such a short time.)
Report Abuse
ChiSue - the rental car (economy) for 7 days total is $211.65 for Maui and $210.72 for Kauai.
Have not reserved BI yet because don't know which airport we will fly into.
The units I have inquired are from private owners and their units look nice with views to the ocean.
Thanks for suggestions for BI. So fly into Kona - 2 nights on the Kohala coast- drive to volcano via route you suggested (will this take all day?), stay Volcano 2 nights - then fly home from Hilo 9:30 p.m.?
Report Abuse
Oh well, it's as I suspected; I can't beat the National rate I already have without going to something I have to pay for in advance -- like Hotwire. I'll keep checking until we leave!
As I said, if the volcano is the why of visiting Big Island, just go there for a couple nights and add a night or two to Maui.
If you are sure you want something west, although Kohala area is nicer, you might stay cheaply in Kona Town -- tacky, but you're not *moving there*! LOL You'd go south a bit to see Place of Refuge. Hulihee Palace is in Kona Town -- an hour or two. Then, yes, I'd go over via the northern route. You might have time to go down into Waipio Valley -- then along the agricultural Hamakua Coast with waterfalls alongside the road, to Volcano. This would be into KOA and out of ITO.
(Someone on Trip Advisor just wrote a complaint that included driving Route 11 (southern route) and having horrible weather, but he/she had failed to heed warnings about the road and the quick weather changes, and ran out of daylight, to boot! Be warned: You do not want to drive Big Island after dark.)

Robert E. Hull: Where are the standings?
January 23, 2011
I have been reading your fine newspaper for more than 13 years and have never found any fault — until now.
Almost my entire reason for reading the Steamboat Today's sports pages is to review the professional sports standings, such as the NBA and NHL. Your sports pages did not include these standings for seven straight days. Your Jan. 12 issue included local adult league basketball, soccer and volleyball standings. Who cares about those standings other than the few people involved in playing in those leagues?
I am sure that almost all adult male readers have an interest in professional sports leagues standings. I just don't understand why these standings have apparently been eliminated from your paper. A proper sports section would include those standings every day.
It seems as though the newspaper industry is gradually losing readers, and I will become a lost reader if you don't start including major league standings every day in your sports section. Please take action to return the missing standings back into your newspaper.

Using a two stage pistol in the rapid

With revolvers you have to allow the trigger to go fully forward before you can fire again, as with some DOA pistols. Glocks and 1911's generally have a short trigger travel and a short reset. With a pistol, there is no way you can reset the trigger between firing the gun and the slide operating, my experience is the same with rifles. What you can do is "miss" the reset by not allowing the trigger to go far enough forward. That being said, every successive shot, the trigger must reset before you can fire another round. On my Glocks especially, I can feel the reset "click" if I try to, I have shot it enough its pretty automatic.
I personally do not care for 2 stage triggers on AR's either, I grew up shooting plain old rifles with single stage triggers, why change now?
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.

The New York Post is reporting that the media outlet resulting from the merger of Newsweek and The Daily Beast will unveil in April. Tina Brown (left), The Daily Beast EIC, has brought on two former Time magazine journalists as interim leaders at Newsweek while prepares for the April launch.
Steve Koepp, a former Time editor, and Arthur Hochstein, that magazine's former art director, joined the Newsweek staff this week.
The merger has been plagued by delays. Many magazine staff members, including EIC Jon Meacham, have left.


text: Whining bearing noise noticiable from about 40mph especially when deaccelerating so no engine noise, gradually worsening, driving normally & gearbox functioning normally. After a lot of ruling things out the noise has been isolated to the gearbox/front differenitals. This was done by running the car at 50mph up on a ramp at my local audi specialist. Noise lowers in tone as car slows and is not related to engine speed (does is in neutral). He says impossible to locate precise location of noise just by listening, poss bearings in differential (not too expensive to repair) or otherwise somewhere else in gearbox. He is reluctant to start changing differential bearings straight off as if it is not that then its a waste of money if a new gearbox is required as they come with new diffs as well. Anyone had anything like this or any idea on the precise location of noise or tips on where to start? Current plan is for him to take a sample of oil from both front diffs & gearbox (assuming they don't share the same oil) to see if it is obvious which section has the failing bearing. Worse case senario is a new gearbox, from audi about £2,800 for the part plus guarantee. Or a reconditioned gearbox but less guarantee or a second hand one (but may have other problems!). For a 2004 car done 110,000 miles is it worth spending for a new gearbox? Noise is not obvious enough for a part exchange dealer to notice yet, but a new car with similar capabilities is more than a new gearbox?

I've gotten a few comments (and complaints) lately that my Shadow Stalker episodes are too short.
Well, they're meant to be!
Many of my readers know I mainly have been writing short works over the last two years, but now that I'm gaining a lot more new readers, readers that may be accustomed to novel length works, I think I need to explain why I write this way.
First, let me start by explaining what a serial is. Serials are short pieces of a bigger work that are published in intervals, and they are usually the length of a short story or a chapter in a novel.
Many authors serialize their novels simply by publishing each chapter of their novel as they write it. Others, like me, write their work specifically as a serial in episodes.
Think of a TV series. It's just in written form.
I started Shadow Stalker as a serial because I was scared about making mistakes during the self-publishing process. I figured it would be better to make mistakes on a small scale as I'm learning the industry, than huge ones on novels. And it's worked. I've learned a lot over the last few years.
I've also discovered that I love writing serials over longer works!
- Because I can release books more often, which means you can read my work more often (once a month as opposed to 2 or 3 times a year).
- It helps keep me motivated when I have to release something more often and keep to a schedule. I can get lazy when it comes to writing novels because I figure, "well I've got plenty of time."
- They're just fun to write!
Of course, I cater to those who prefer longer works as well, which is why I release my bundles each year. And I'm working on a novel series as well for those who prefer novels. In the meantime, I'll keep writing and publishing my serials and short stories, and hope you keep enjoying them! :-D
Do you enjoy reading/writing serials? Or have you considered starting one? What have been your experiences? Do you like or dislike them? Why? I'd love to hear about it. Tell us your story in the comments below.

This Was the Writing Staff That Is
Apparently, what The Daily Show writers really want to do is direct. This much is on display in the IFC Center's weeklong series of shorts by Jon Stewart's gagmen and women.
Apparently, what The Daily Show writers really want to do is direct. This much is on display in the IFC Center's weeklong series of shorts by Jon Stewart's gagmen and women. They offer a peek at the individual personalities who comprise one of the most envied writing staffs on television. And, while each seems made by a smartass with a free weekend and a camcorder, the results are as insular, for better and worse, as one might expect. There's no "I" in team or Emmy (although there's two "me"s and a "my").
The short that'll be of most interest to The Daily Show's fans is the first presented. Actually a pilot for a local TV news satire, Deadline: Now was made by Daily Show executive producer Ben Karlin and his previous staff, when he was editor at The Onion, in 1997. It's a pretty straightforward mockery of a local news broadcast with Onion-style headlines ("Hundreds of College Basketball Stars Flee to Canada to Avoid the NBA Draft"). While the stories unfold in the inverted pyramid structure of an Onion story -- main points followed by on-the-scene interviews -- the on-air reporters, from blowhard anchor Bill Cutler (Eric Pierpoint) to slick flack jacket wearing Brick Kiln (James Patrick Stewart), remain caricatures. Daily Show correspondents like Stephen Colbert and Beth Littleford use existing personalities like Geraldo Rivera and Diane Sawyer to develop their own characters, Deadline: Now boils these personalities down to a base point and keeps them there. (Although senile ex-anchor Harris Watchford (Bill Morley), is funny, delivering rambling Andy Rooney-style editorials at the end of each episode.)
Deadline: Now also differs from The Daily Show in that it concentrates on how the news (often ineptly) delivers information to us, not on interviewing real life nut-jobs or making the usual late night celebrity jokes. Karlin recently told the Washington Post that, "Jon and I happen to share a very similar vision of where we wanted to take the show," and an early germ of that vision can be seen when Cutler intones, "News. Stories. We combine the two to create news stories" (24 August 2005).
Deadline: Now is followed by my favorite short, Zombie-American, starring Daily correspondent Ed Helms in a slice-of-life documentary about a likeable undead corpse who just wants to be treated like a normal human being. Glen tries to get a date, strolls down the street, and plays basketball, moving with the casual stiff-limbed shuffle of an average Joe with rotting joints. The short is helped greatly by Helm's performance (there's a reason the writers, who star in most of the other shorts, usually stay behind the camera) and writer/director Nick Poppy sets an efficient pace that doesn't dawdle on improvisations.
The scribes seem to be more comfortable with nonfiction-based comedy, with the mockumetary a recurring form here. Partner in Blues is a Ken Burns-style reminiscence of the gay relationship between an old Delta blues performer and his guitar Todd, starring Strangers with Candy's Principal Blackman, Gregory Hollimon. Writer/director Scott Jacobson breathes some life into this somewhat tired style via an array of entertaining characters and techniques, including standard interviews, reenactments, and "present day" footage.
More derivative are Sanford Van Johnson: A Life Near the Theatre, about a wannabe doyen of the New York City stage, and Untold Tales of the West, about an impotent cowboy. Shot with what looks like an old Hi-8 camera in her bedroom, Sarah Walker's Surviving Geddes brings a lo-fi approach to her amusing portrait and harrowing confession by two women who worked with the cutesy/creepy photographer Anne Geddes as newborns.
When these shorts are at their worst, the kind of silly for silly's sake humor that screams "comedy geek" makes them bewildering and tedious. Chris Regan plays Sanford Van Johnson with the kind of grating accent beloved by over-caffeinated Monty Python fans. High concept yet aimless, Pie Chi, about a fight between a vegan and non-vegan baker, plays like the devil-may-care programming of post-"Weekend Update" Saturday Night Live sketches. Like SNL, these shorts also have a tendency to run five minutes past their welcome.
For the most part, these shorts don't contain any of the barbed humor and deadly punch-lines of The Daily Show. Without a basis in reality, they're kind of ridiculous, so the series seems like the theatrical release of DVD bonus material. This is why television shows have executive producers and on-air personalities and editors and a large group of writers to tell someone that something isn't funny. That said, the films don't aspire to great heights, and they'll probably be as much of a lark for the audience as they were for their makers.

White Rock Theatre
|White Rock
Hastings, East Sussex
|HQ Theatres (in partnership with Hastings Borough Council)
|April 1927
White Rock Theatre is a medium-scale receiving house venue owned by Hastings Borough Council situated on the seafront of Hastings, East Sussex, on the south coast of England. It has a seating capacity of 1066 (after the date of the Battle of Hastings) and it currently presents a varied programme of touring shows including opera, ballet, musicals, the Hastings Musical Festival and children's shows.
The original East Sussex Hospital was replaced with the White Rock Pavilion which was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales in April 1927. It was built for the Hastings Municipal Orchestra. The pavilion underwent a further re-modification in 1937 and again in 1985 when it was renamed the White Rock Theatre.
The auditorium is split on two levels – The Stalls and The Circle with an overall capacity of 1,066 seats. The Stalls is also split into flat and raked seating areas. The stage is 47 feet (14 m) wide and 31.6 feet (9.6 m) deep, with a 1/28 rake.
From its very beginning Hastings Borough Council ran the Theatre. As the years went by and the Theatre continued to run at a loss, the council decided to close the Theatre down. This announcement was met with the fierce opposition from local people and groups rallied round in support of the White Rock. In May 2002 Clear Channel Entertainment, a huge American organisation, took over management of the venue. In December 2005 Clear Channel Entertainment was spun off from the main body of Clear Channel and became Live Nation.
On February 1, 2009, HQ Theatres took over as operator of the White Rock in partnership with Hastings Borough Council.
The Theatre has seen a selection of entertainment over the years including Motörhead, Russell Brand, Hot Chocolate, Eartha Kitt, Al Murray, Geri Halliwell, Jools Holland, Derren Brown, Ricky Tomlinson, Tim Vine and Greg Davies just to name a few.
Current activity[edit]
The venue houses a Café, the Stalls bar and the Circle Bar. Also part of the venue is the Campbell Room and Sussex Hall – both used for community groups, corporate hospitality and private functions.

wikiHow to Draw Zoidberg from Futurama
Do you like the show Futurama? Then you'd probably like to know how to draw Zoidberg, the company doctor of Planet Express. See Step 1 below to get started.
1Draw the head. Sketch a bean shape and add guidelines for his features.
2Draw two circles for his eyeballs. Within those draw dots for his pupils. He should look slightly uneasy, so put them more to the side of the eyeball than in the middle, and add a line underneath each eye.
3Instead of an ordinary mouth, Zoidberg has tentacles. Draw four ovals for the tentacles.
4Move on to the body. Draw a large egg shape for the body and add two small ovals for each arm.
5For the hand, draw a large half oval and a smaller one. This will be his pincers (just as he doesn't have a normal mouth, Zoidberg doesn't have normal hands either). Add zigzags inside each claw, as shown.
6Draw his legs. Sketch a rectangle for each, adding smaller half-ovals for the feet. Add pointy toes.
7Sketch in his clothes. His scrubs are buttoned on the left, and he has flip-flops on to complement them. Don't forget his mirrored headband!
8Color and outline your drawing. His skin is a reddish orange, like a lobster, and his scrubs are a light greenish hue. Make sure no excess guidelines remain!

I have to say nothing is better than a ripe sexy MILF. With that taken out of the way Hunter was at the store today buying a gift for his buddies kid and he came across Nadiia. A very ripe and sexy MILF at that. The Hunter saw those huge breasts and liked what he saw. He put his illustrious charm and went to work. With Nadiias attitude she was truly down for whatever. She divorced her husband and wanted cock to please her adventurous ways. Luckily for Hunter he was that cock. He took her back home and gave Nadiia something so desperately craved! What proceeded to go down in that bedroom was epic!
