"Long wait for perky breasts -..."
Like many of the women whose reviews I had read, I have always been unsatisfied with my breasts. I have asymmetry, which I think bothers me the most, and I am 26 years old and they have never been perky. This past year I have become more and more aware of how much I stress over them. I wear a bra 24/7, I won't let my boyfriend see them or touch them..even when I'm alone I have to have a bra on... more
A little about me...I just turned 31, I'm 5'1 116lb, I'm more of a lean muscular athletic type. I have 3 kids and I breastfed all of them for about a year. For all the ladies that have breastfed I'm sure you know what they can do to your breast. My husband is very supportive of my decision so I'm thankful for that. I've always been a 34C and loved that size, even when working out I did lose... more

December 18, 2014
ARJAY, Ky. (WVLT) -- Kentucky State Police say 44-year-old Vance Miller and 37-year-old David Lefevers have been charged with wanton endangerment.
Troopers say they received a call around 9:26 Saturday night about a vehicle on fire next to a home in Arjay.
Firefighters say when they tried to put out the blaze, one of the suspects came out with a gun, started using foul language, and shot at them.
When KSP arrived, they tried communicating with the man, but he refused. Once chemical agents were tossed inside the home, Miller and Lefevers surrendered.
They're now in the Bell County Detention Center.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

Weddings at sea have become a growing trend in the cruise industry. A recent survey of travel agents by Cruise Lines International Association, the industry's top marketing group, showed weddings were one of the areas that generated the most excitement among their cruising clients.
Last year Cunard Line, for the first time in its 172-year history, began selling wedding packages that give passengers the opportunity to get married at sea with the ship's captain officiating. The program is available on the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
Princess Cruises has been hosting shipboard weddings performed by the captain since 1998. Prices for the line's "Tie the Knot at Sea" program start at around $1,800 for the ceremony, plus $455 for license and registration fees.
Several other cruise lines also offer wedding packages either at sea or in ports.
SEE MORE: Tips for shipboard romance
Travel agent Arthur Balin married his wife, Yelena, on the Crown Princess during a Southern Caribbean sailing in 2007. Two-dozen family members and close friends came along on the cruise and the wedding was reportedly easy to plan and went off without a hitch.
The cruise line took care of everything from the flowers and cake to the music, even assisting with the wedding vows, Balin said. The ship's photographer snapped photos. After the ceremony, the celebration moved to reserved tables in the ship's specialty Italian restaurant Sabatini's (where a multi-course dinner is $20 per person).
CRUISE LOG BUZZ: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie consider a wedding at sea
Brangelina would be wise to go the same wedding-at-sea route, Balin opined.
"It's the best thing I ever did," he said. "We were all having drinks at the pool two hours before the ceremony. It was awesome."

It's basically Medieval Arabic Gatorade, only it tastes better.
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup white vinegar (recomend less for modern palettes)
A small bunch fresh mint, washed
**a bunch of fresh chopped ginger
**any herbs that are tasty too you/
The process
*In a heavy bottom pot combine sugar and water, place on medium heat and stir till sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and gently boil for 10-15 minutes.
*Add the vinegar and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until it thickens. Taste and adjust the level of sweetness or sourness of the syrup.
*In the last minute or five add a few fresh mint (or ginger or other herbs... just one flavor set) to the syrup.
*Remove from heat and put it into refrigerator. Remove the infusing mint/ginger.
*If served heated/ warm, go as is. If serving cold/ cool/ room temp, add water to dilute it. Usually two to four cups.

This drink is common with medieval recreationists.
Ginger Tonic
Ginger has been used in Medicine for thousands of years and is said to help:
Soothe digestive disturbances
Alleviate nausea (great in early pregnancy)
Reduce fever
Calm coughing and respiratory troubles
Stimulates the circulatory system
Helps relieve muscle aches and pain
Can help get rid of dandruff
Emerging evidence shows it helps lower cholesterol
For hundreds of years Thamians (and other cultures around the world) have made various forms of naturally fermented "sodas" from sweetened herbs or fruit juice mixes. These natural fermented drinks contained beneficial life forces and humors to boost health. This version uses a fermented ginger culture to create a naturally fizzy tonic!
This natural recipe for ginger tonic (ale) uses fresh ginger and a cultured ginger mixture (called a ginger bug) to create a naturally fermented and naturally fizzy ginger ale. Though this mixture can contain a small amount of alcohol if left to ferment at room temperature for weeks, we use the short brew method to create a fizzy tonic/ ale without the alcohol.
* A 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger root, minced. Adjust this to taste. I use 2 inches as I prefer a stronger ginger taste.
* ½ cup of organic sugar or rapadura sugar. if using plain sugar, add 1 tablespoon molasses for flavor and minerals.
* ½ cup fresh lemon or lime juice
* ½ tsp sea salt or himalayan salt
* 8 cups of filtered (chlorine free) water (Most Thamian and American water has cholorine.. get a filter)
* ½ cup homemade ginger bug
1) Make a "wort" for your ginger tonic by placing 3 cups of the water, minced ginger root, sugar (and molasses if needed), and salt in a saucepan and bringing to a boil.
2) Simmer the mixture for about five minutes until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to smell like ginger.
3) Remove from heat and add additional water. This should cool it but if not, allow to cool to room temperature before moving to the next step.
4) Add fresh lemon or lime juice and ginger bug (or whey).
5) Transfer to a 2 quart glass mason jar with a tight fitting (air-tight) lid. Stir well and put lid on.
6) Leave on the counter for 2-3 days until carbonated and transfer to the cooling room/ fridge where it will last indefinitely.
7) Watch this step carefully. It should be bubble and should "hiss" like a "soda" when the lid is removed. This is very temperature dependent and the mixture may need to be burped or stirred during this fermentation time on the counter.
As with any traditional fermented drink, it is more of an art than a science as it depends on the strength of your culture, the temperature of your house and the sugar used. The final mixture should smell of ginger and slightly of yeast/fermentation and should be fizzy. Watch carefully that it doesn't become too carbonated as this will cause too much pressure and may result in an exploding jar!
8) The mixture can be strained and transferred to Grolsch style bottles before putting in the fridge (we like these bottles).
9) Strain before drinking.
10) Enjoy!

It turns out that soda hasn't always been the high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavor concoction in an aluminum can that we know today.

Cannes: Celebrity Bubble Meets Surveillance State
After the slew of brazen robberies at last year's festival, culminating in a for-the-record-books $137 million smash-and-grab job at the Carlton hotel shortly after it ended, the French powers-that-be have brought in 350 heavily armed national police, 200 municipal cops and more than 400 private security guards to thwart another crime wave.
PHOTOS: The Scene at Cannes 2014
But, perhaps fittingly at this celebration of what the camera can do, much of the key work will be handled by a robust network of private closed-circuit television coverage, which local law enforcement officials have taken to aggressively tapping for a nearly real-time view of the Croisette, from its exclusive terraces to its hidden vestibules. "The system has been expanded and developed" in the past year, says Michel Chevillon, president of the Cannes Hotelier Association.
PHOTOS: The Complete Official Selection
Adds Frederic Venou-Julian, a jeweler who heads Cannes' Security Committee of shop owners: "At one point even Monaco asked for advice," referring to the notoriously surveillance-crazed principality nearby. "The people behind the screens are able to track down everything." Of course, those same people are also watching explicit — if not necessarily illicit — behavior of all sorts, as stars were starkly reminded May 12 when the world gaped at leaked Manhattan hotel elevator footage of Solange Knowles attacking Jay-Z after the Met Ball while her sister Beyonce passively looked on. Which is why this year's Cannes A-listers might want to consider remaining on their best behavior even when they think they are behind closed doors.

Disclosure: This trip was courtesy of Lincoln Motor Company. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
When a friend messages you and asks if you can sneak away with her for a quick road trip to Santa Barbara to experience the new 2015 Lincoln MKC for a couple days, you say yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
I've been to Santa Barbara before, back when I was the mother to three small fries. We just piled them in the car and drove. We ended up staying in a funky motel, eating way too much fast food and walking along State Street. We bought the boys these Rasta-colored crocheted beanies from a vendor on a corner. Santa Barbara is beautiful, that much I can remember. I can assure you, my trip to Santa Barbara this time around was much different.
Together with my sweet friend Monique Frausto from Motor Chicas, we left L.A and its heavy layer of smog behind. The charming homes and cool, sea air of Santa Barbara greeted us. We had the pleasure of staying at the Belmond El Encanto and I have to say that it was amazing.
Like, I want to live there and never come back amazing. Seriously.
|El Encanto walkway that leads to the pool and a view of Santa Barbara.
I've had the pleasure of staying at some really nice places but El Elcanto was exceptional. It's the kind of place that you just want to stay and relax in. Usually while you're on vacation the goal is to get out and do something. Not at El Encanto -- staying in and relaxing is ideal. Luxurious without being too fancy, lush, quiet and very homey. I absolutely loved that we could open the windows in our bungalow and see the greenery and hear the birds chirping. Monique and I were oohing and ahhing the entire time.
Clockwise from top left: the lush view from our bungalow, my roomie cheesin' in our livingroom, bath salts in the wonderously deep spa-like tub, and our swoon-worthy bathroom that had radiant-heated floors.
In part of the Lincoln MKC experience, we had a whirlwind day, roadtripping to places I've never been to. Our first stop was a lovely lavender farm where we got to nibble on delicious lavender cookies and lavender lemonade. Then we popped in for a quick olive oil tasting that was the bomb because hello, all I need in this life is a crusty artisan bread and I'm a happy girl. We drove to Solvang and stopped at an adorable bakery called Birkholm's Bakery & Cafe for a much-needed pick me up of an iced chai and a danish. Yum. And then, for the first time in my life, I got to sip mimosas and watch a polo match.
Can you say fancy?
The Olive Hill Farm Garlic Olive Oil was a game changer, guys. Omg.
|I'm usually scared of horses but this one was a gentle giant. Also, I'm wearing my studded sandals -- yay.
|Mimosas at Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
|Snapped a pic of a cool plant while waiting for my spa treatment and later, dinner at El Encanto.
What did I enjoy the most about the 2015 Lincoln MKC? The interior ambient lighting. Very, very classy.
Whenever I attend these type of blogger events without my husband or my family, I often wonder if I'll ever come back. I always say I want to come back. I really mean it this time. Santa Barbara is definitely a place where you want to take your time and explore.
Have you been on any fun road trips recently?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

A bus, a batey, and a faithful man
In the Dominican Republic, World Vision's Esteban Cuevas wields an arsenal of curious tools to bring spiritual nurture to teens in his community -- balls, bats, chess sets, an old school bus, and a listening ear.
Explore dozens of opportunities!
In the Dominican Republic, World Vision's Esteban Cuevas wields an arsenal of curious tools to bring spiritual nurture to teens in his community -- balls, bats, chess sets, an old school bus, and a listening ear.
The International Labor Organization estimates that at least 20.9 million men, women, and children around the world suffer in forced labor, though the actual number could be closer to 27 million. Further, 55 percent of victims of forced labor are women, and girls comprise 98 percent of sex trafficking victims.
Chanty* was one of them -- but now she has a second chance.
World Vision writer Kari Costanza has a personal connection to carpentry. Recently, she met Lemma, a carpenter in Ethiopia, whose story demonstrates the transformational power of economic development. See how a World Vision microloan and training changed his life.
World Vision writer Kari Costanza reflects on a recent trip to Tanzania and the amazing food and agriculture development a community there has achieved through World Vision's Secure the Future program.
World Vision's Kari Costanza visited a community in Ethiopia whose residents are experiencing a very pronounced -- and understandable -- emotion over their struggle with a lack of access to clean water: anger.
Today is World Malaria Day! Join World Vision in remembering the lives devastated by this preventable, treatable disease -- and in our mission of eradicating it from the world.
Yesterday, part 1 of "The gossamer thread" brought you into the lives of three families who have seen malaria's tragic effects firsthand. Today's story is decidedly more hopeful: It highlights the miraculous change a few square meters of netting has brought about for another Mozambican family.
Tomorrow is World Malaria Day -- a moment to remember the lives of children, families, and communities devastated by this preventable, treatable disease that we can stop.
Today, we open a two-part series with the stories of three families in Mozambique who have been affected by malaria. Make sure you check back tomorrow to read about a family whose lives have been transformed by the simple miracle of bed nets.
Marita Adelino is not your average 10-year-old.
In a world where children typically want so much, she wants only two things -- a best friend and a mosquito net. Yearning for a friend is sketched across her face, a portrait of loneliness.
And the desire for a mosquito net? Marita is terrified of the tiny, sinister creatures that spread malaria, the disease that killed her best friend, Marta João, last year.
"Who's that girl?" I wondered while watching Carter's Chord, a sister band who recently traveled to the Dominican Republic to create a video of their song, "Love a Little Bigger."
I love the song and its message: how blessed we are and how a luxury, like drinking a $4 cup of coffee, can make us feel guilty, especially when we are confronted by pictures of the poor.
Being from Seattle, the coffee center of the universe, I can relate.
The video is beautiful. The Carter's Chord sisters are lovely. Their voices are wonderful. The Dominican Republic is an astonishing country, dripping with tropical delight.
But the prettiest thing in the video is its little star -- a girl whose life they captured from her early-morning routine, waking up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, through the moment where she seemed to take flight -- dancing with the Carter's Chord sisters as they sang.
World Vision's Kari Costanza traveled to Rwanda, where she met Solange, whose life was turned upside-down in a short period of time.
Fighting caused Solange and her family flee their home in the Democratic Republic of Congo. After arriving in Kiegeme refugee camp, Solange lost her 3-year-old daughter, Rebecca.
Kari met Solange in a hospital, where she was staying with her baby, Esther. Kari shares her thoughts on meeting Solange and Esther -- and the tragic news she received after returning to the United States.
Today, I bought a coffin.
We spent the morning in a village in Mozambique visiting Marita, a dear little girl whose best friend had died of malaria last year.
Marita was still grieving. She sat quietly while the rest of the children played in high spirits, shouting and laughing through a game of soccer.
Marita's mother invited us to come back later for supper. Hospitality can never be refused, even when the givers have so little. Marita's father makes just $48 a year in a country to which both people and nature have been unkind.
Today is International Women's Day. We honor the remarkable achievements of women like Konitha, a mother and entrepreneur in Cambodia who used World Vision business loans to build a life of dignity and hope for herself and her children.
* * *
When I was 12, my mother bought me Helen Gurley Brown's book, "Having It All." The book offered advice on how a woman could succeed at everything -- love, work, and family. My mother knew even then that her overachieving daughter would have difficulty choosing between having a family and having a career.
It's been a tough two weeks for the World Vision family. Our 40,000 staff work in nearly 100 countries, so when there is a devastating event in Japan, with its 75 World Vision staff members, it affects our entire family.
The stress level around here has been so high that today I decided....

Toyota T-100 Running Boards
The Toyota T-100 is a great truck with lots of benefits like its hard wearing toughness, great looks and all of that room on the inside for people and cargo too!

BAGLEY -- Controversial Christian speaker Usama Dakdok gave a multi-hour speech on the supposed evils of Islam on Monday at Bagley High School, his third and final presentation in three days in this small, northwest Minnesota community. Dakdok spoke to an audience of about 100 people Monday, mostly seniors.

BEMIDJI -- Oil industry representatives came on Wednesday to Bemidji to head off opposition to new Northern Minnesota crude pipelines. Dan Gunderson and Erin Roth hosted a small invite-only luncheon at the Hampton Inn & Suites for the American Petroleum Institute, a trade group that does lobbying, public relations work and research on behalf of the oil industry. Invitees included local government and school officials as well as business leaders.
BEMIDJI -- Northwest Minnesota residents interested in parks and trails filled City Hall on Tuesday for a planning meeting to help establish an area counterpart to the new statewide Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. Bemidji Mayor Rita Albrecht and Crow Wing County Natural Resource Manager Bryan Pike were appointed last year by Gov. Mark Dayton to represent the 15-county District 2, one of six districts that make up the commission.

BEMIDJI -- The city of Bemidji's Public Affairs Committee recommended the City Council approve a $2,141 request from local public access television station Upstream TV Monday, but took no direct action on a much larger request. In addition to the public education government fees, or PEG fees, Upstream asked for $40,300 in city franchise fee revenue, which is made up of fees assessed to cable providers that operate in Bemidji for the right to use city land.
CLEARBROOK -- Just a few hundred yards southeast of the small town of Clearbrook stands a grouping of huge, white, silo-like structures. Silos, though, wouldn't draw protesters. This is Enbridge Energy's Clearbrook Terminal, and guards are posted there to protect the facility from demonstrators and other security risks. This is one of the locations where Enbridge's mostly buried system of crude oil pipelines run above ground in Minnesota. One of the pipelines Canada-based Enbridge is on the cusp of building or expanding, the much-touted and much-maligned Line 67, runs through here.

Night skiing at Spout Springs will soon go dark.
VARIED TERRAIN: Spout Springs owner John Murray believes that Spout Springs, with its varied terrain, is an ideal place for alpine skiers of all levels to hone their skills. Map/skispoutsprings.com
Evening skiing at Spout Springs for this winter ends Feb. 21.
The lights though are not going out on Spout Springs Ski Area's season — far from it. The ski area has a solid snow pack and will continue operating through March.Owner John Murray said the ski area might remain open longer but doubts it will.
"We will keep it open as long as people want to come,'' Murray said.
Northeast Oregon skiers traditionally hang up their gear in late March. Murray cannot understand why people stop so early because good skiing opportunities remain through the spring.
"I could have skied here last year until June,'' Murray said.
Spout Springs offers night skiing on Saturdays, when the ski area operates from from 9 a.m. to 9 pm. Spout Springs is the only ski site in Eastern Oregon that offers night skiing. The Spokane area is one of the nearest places where there is evening skiing.
"It is a big city amenity,'' Murray said.
Spout's owner finds that people enjoy skiing under lights for a variety of reasons.
"It is a different feeling. There is a lot excitement and exhilaration,'' Murray said.
Spout Springs has been drawing a solid number of cross county and alpine skiers and snowboarders this winter. The number of groups from schools and other organizations is down, though, Murray said.
Nordic skiers use a 40-kilometer network of trails, 10-to-12 kilometers of which are groomed; alpine skiers enjoy a system featuring 16 runs and two double-chair lifts. The snow boarders use a terrain park featuring four rails and six jumps.
The snowboarding and ski areas are monitored by members of the Spout Springs Ski Patrol. The patrol has been recognized several times in recent years for outstanding service by the National Ski Patrol.
Indoor facilities now operating at Spout include a rental shop, a ski school center, Spout Springs' Mountain Inn and a clinic where first aid is provided.
New features at Spout this winter include improved cell phone service made possible by a new antennae and connections for improved Internet service.
Murray, who bought Spout Springs in 1999 with his wife Nancy, believes skiers in this region do no realize how fortunate they are to have the opportunity to glide through the light, dry, powdery snow Northeast Oregon is known for.
"We are very fortunate. We have some of the best snow, period, anywhere,'' Murray said.
Spout Springs, 15 miles west of Elgin on Highway 204, is well situated to receive large amounts of snow most winters because of a decision its original owners made in the 1920s, Murray said. They moved the Spout Springs ski area about four miles east to a point that they had determined received substantially more snow.
"They did their homework,'' Murray said.
Today Murray believes that Spout Springs is an ideal place for alpine skiers of all skill levels to hone their skills. A major reason is its varied terrain.
"If you can ski here you can ski anywhere.''
For additional information on Spout's schedule and conditions, go to its website, www. skispoutsprings.com, or call 541-566-0320.

Poor Madge just can't win. First, her efforts to adopt a little girl from a third-world nation were thwarted by people who claimed she was doing so for the wrong reasons. Then she lost her friend Michael Jackson. Then two workers died in a horrible accident while building a stage for her performance. And now, as if that wasn't enough, Madonna, 50, is being attacked by news outlets around the globe…for her ARMS. See the photo that sparked it.
Yup, Google "Madonna" and "arms" and 4,300,000 results come back, including:
"Madonna's 'veiny' arms spark health fears"
"Madonna's muscular arms prompt criticism she has been exercising too much"
"Madonna's freaky arms causing a frenzy"
"Time to quit the gym Madonna! Madge proudly shows off her stringy, muscular arms in London"
We all know Madonna smuggles some serious guns. And yes, in recent years, they have grown more and more muscular, as her overall body has become leaner and leaner. The overall effect can be extreme. But does she really need to be treated like some sort of freak about it?
Check out this visual retrospective of Madonna's bi's and tri's.
Popeater.com addressed the topic from a workout POV, asking if the Material Girl has gone too far with her punishing two hours, six days a week exercise regimen and strict diet, which bans dairy, processed foods, spices, oils, sauces, alcohol and caffeine.
Shawn Eisenbach, a personal training manager at New York Health & Racquet Club, told PopEater he believes Madonna's leaner look is a result of her dietary constraints. "I know she is into Pilates, but I just think it is her diet. She is super lean [and], eating is sixty-percent of any look. She's definitely on some very strict eating." Eisenbach said he wouldn't be surprised if some of the crazy bicep photos were "distorted," but added that he would never advocate his own clients looking as lean as Madonna. "People can do cardio four days a week and do weight training two days a week, [but] this is definitely too much. It doesn't look good."
Madonna works out with personal fitness trainer Tracy Anderson (who also trains Gwyneth Paltrow), who has called Madonna is her hardest-working pupil and dismissed the critics who say the singer has taken exercise too far. "Madonna is an athlete. That's what I try to hammer into people's heads, people who criticize her for training two hours, six days a week. She's just like a baseball player or a soccer player. I don't have to scream at her because she's so motivated. She organizes her time so she can train – she makes an appointment to do it and she keeps it, but two hours is the most she ever exercises in a day. Madonna will never look her age. She doesn't even look half her age – she looks 19."
That's a bit hyperbolic - I don't think she looks 19 - but she ain't lookin' 50, either. I guess when I look at Madonna, I don't see age; I see a talented entertainer who I've loved for years, from Like a Virgin to La Isla Bonita to Ray of Light. And of course I see her body and how unreal it looks – "Madonna" and "ripped" are practically synonymous at this point. If anything, it's motivating to me in a slight "You can have a fab post-baby body, too!" kind of way. I can't help but believe, though, that if she were photographed in a tank top looking less defined, I'd be blogging about the media headlines like "Madonna's sleeves need more material, girl!" or "Madge's bat wing arms flew the coop!" She just can't win – no women in Hollywood can.
