Gartered mini dress by DreamGirl
Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
I am still amazed that this is so inexpensive! It's very pretty, although a bit tricky to put on the first time you wear it.
What you get here is a great and well made one size fits most piece that actually will fit most. The smaller end of the sizing guidelines will probably result in this hanging off of you in weird ways, but it will fit just about everybody it claims to.
This sexy, easy-to-wear and easy-to-care for piece is great for roleplay, not to mention it allows for easy access to the most sensitive spots!
Great piece of lingerie for any collection. Makes me very sexy and has pretty flower pattern. I love how the spandex and nylon fits close to the skin.

Coach Eric Taylor Vs. 3 Michael Ceras: A Discussion with 'Punching Tom Hanks' Author Kevin Seccia
Good friend of Crushable Kevin Seccia (look how adorable he is!) wrote a hilarious book called Punching Tom Hanks: Dropkicking Gorillas and Pummeling Zombified Ex-Presidents—a Guide to Beating Up Anything. And although I respect Kevin as an able assessor of the strengths and weaknesses of various individuals, I still felt compelled to put his knowledge to the test against my own not unimpressive hypothetical battle skills. So we took to the ring, pitting Friday Night Lights' Coach Eric Taylor against three Michael Ceras.
Liana: Well, okay, so obviously Coach Taylor would win, and before I even get to why, let's consider that Michael Cera — even 100 Michael Ceras — would lose in a fight to anyone ever.
Kevin: Oh Liana… sometimes i wonder if you know even the first thing about fighting multiple Michael Ceras. I say Cera wins. First: because he needs it more right now. He's kind of faded from the spotlight, been pushed aside by Jesse Eisenberg and other mopey sorts. A win like this puts him right back in the mix.
Liana: Sure, but need can't outweigh physical and mental deficiencies. Exhibit A: Coach Taylor has a full heart, Michael Cera has a paper heart.
Kevin: Okay, so you're saying that since Coach Taylor is a grown man, physically strong, and known for coming up with winning strategies, he'd prevail. I agree with you on his strengths but you're overlooking something. Coach's main function, his reason for being, even more than winning, is molding vulnerable young boys into men. Boys like Cera! Coach would be far too distracted trying to save this kid to successfully defeat him He'd leave himself open. He'd leave that heart open. That sad turtle demeanor of Cera's would melt him.
Liana: Hmm, good point. However, to that point, look at Coach Taylor. Just look at him. Who could harm a man like that? Cera, however, is eminently punchable. I'd whack him. His other two hims would whack him.
Kevin: No, they'd be united in their mopery, you have to concede that. They're all they have in this world!
Liana: Coach Taylor is swift and strong and able, whereas Michael Cera's deficiencies will be multiplied when there are three of them. They'll trip over each other.
Kevin: I'd say that constantly being reminded of those deficiencies by two clones mirroring your every flailing gesture would cause you to focus and man up, at least slightly.
Liana: However, the intimidation factor of being up against Coach Taylor would make them crumble. They are not strong-willed, these Ceras.
Kevin: Every time he got them on the ropes, he'd start to pity them, instead of finishing them off he'd order them to go do wind sprints until they sweat through their pastel hoodies. During which time they'd recover. He'd literally be training them to defeat him.
Liana: I think you're underestimating Coach Taylor's toughness in the name of necessity. He can be cruel to those boys on his team and he'd be cruel to the Ceras.
Kevin: Three on one is tough odds. If we were talking about two Michael Ceras? No contest, Coach chalks up another victory Dillon Panthers-style. But not three.
Liana: Three Michael Ceras maybe could bench press three ladybugs.
Kevin: Unfortunately for that logic, this isn't a "can three Michael Ceras bench press three lady bugs?" debate. We are still doing that later though, right?
Liana: Ladybugs vs. caterpillars; it'll be riveting.
Kevin: Look, I'm not even saying all three Ceras live. In the end, Two Ceras lie dead near a wounded Coach as he whispers some last inspirational words to a squirrel he mistakes for his beloved Matt Saracen, while a lone, queasy and vomiting Cera stands over him. Victorious.
Liana: No, no, no. They're one entity. They all die together or live together. Otherwise it's not a victory.
Kevin: What? Is that a new rule
Liana: No, how is that a new rule?
Kevin: Are they physically bonded? Or you mean technicality wise?
Liana: Technicality – you can't kill off two and still win. Or maybe you can, I don't know how death works.
Kevin: So all Coach has to do and stop one and he's got the win? Then, I gotta say, I lean towards Coach. I really would love for him to win. He knows how to come from behind… I just don't know if he'd have enough in him.
Liana: I think his own worst enemy here is himself. If he can get over himself, he'll win. So really, it's a battle between Coach Taylor and Coach Taylor.

If Jabu Hlongwane and Mthunzi Namba were atmospheric features, then one would be a cold front while the other would be a warm front. In weather terms when this happens, then huge storms are expected.
Hlongwane and Namba's union on their first ever album, Fakaza, will see lightning and thunder shower on all the other musicians in the gospel game. The main reason this is so is basically because the singers, who have been together for 25 years, have never previously done an album together.
"We never got a chance to do something together in the years that we have known each other. So we have decided that now is the best time to release this project because it feels just right," said Hlongwane.
This is an experimental album, which sees the pair of friends go deep into their souls to find music that sounds like nothing they have ever made before.
"I never sit down to say I am about to write a song. Rather, I just hear a melody when I am driving or when I am asleep and I make it a point to record it.
"I then flesh it up with lyrics at a later stage, saying what I feel needs to be said, depending on the anatomy of the song. Because this is a duet, I also looked forward to what Mthunzi had creatively because he is a brilliant writer too," explained Hlongwane.
With Namba residing in Durban and Hlongwane based in Johannesburg, the making of this project meant a lot of up and down for Namba as the pair recorded in Hlongwane's studio.
"We spent about three or four weeks trying to see which songs we could go with for the album. Once we had decided, then it took us about a year to complete the project," he said.
The pair appear incomplete because they are usually seen next to their best and mutual friend, Lindelani Mkhize. In one of their shows the trio even shocked the crowds by singing a song together. Very few had seen them sing as a trio. However, Hlongwane felt this project was best suited with two voices only.
"Mhkize is not really a singer. He knows his stuff musically but he is not the everyday singer. He loves things like looking for and developing talent and yet we just make music through and through," said Hlongwane.
A surprise offering on the project, considering these men are gospel "elders", was the inclusion of rapper Kwesta on the album.
"We wanted a fun remix to one of the songs and so we got Guffy to produce it. We discussed how great it would be to have a rapper on there. Our first choice was ProVerb who would have loved to do it but he was busy with the IdolsSA finale. So Guffy suggested we try Kwesta, who jumped on the project and he was done writing his verses in 10 minutes," narrated Hlongwane.
The album's success is anticipated and the pair plan to go on to have a DVD of the same project.
"So far so good. The reception has been amazing and so it is a matter of time before we announce the dates of the live DVD recording," said Hlongwane.
lFakaza is available at music stores nationwide.

For more than twelve years now, the Paul Gauguin has been plying the waters of Polynesia. The ship can carry up to 330 passengers on enchanting cruises ranging from the Society Islands combined cruise (Tahiti, Raiatea, Tahaa, Bora Bora, Moorea and more) to archipelago-to-archipelago cruises (the Society Islands, the Tuamotus, and the Marquesas). This superb 5-star rated ship has found the ideal formula to completely satisfy its passengers: spacious and comfortable cabins, personalised service (an excellent 3-to-2 passenger-to-crew ratio), a cultural programme with local flavour and a virtually unlimited array of activities!
People who choose to sail aboard the Paul Gauguin will enjoy a host of services and activities: a retractable watersports platform at the stern of the vessel provides an area where guests can try kayaking, windsurfing, scuba diving and water-skiing. The Paul Gauguin also has a library and a small onboard museum dedicated to Polynesian history and culture.
There are other guest services, too: a spa and a fitness room, three restaurants (one of which features gourmet cuisine), a swimming pool and several spaces for leisure and recreation scattered around seven decks. Finally, all cabins are carefully furnished to provide space and comfort to guests.
At ports of call, several excursions designed for the discovery of the cultural and natural heritage of the islands are available to passengers. 4x4 safaris, outings in a traditional canoe, a Polynesian-themed day on a private island, archaeological tours, swimming in the lagoons... every tour has been designed top-to-bottom to provide a complete sampling of the treasures of Tahiti and its islands.
In the evening, the chefs aboard the Paul Gauguin fire up the galley grills and offer a selection of menus bringing the flavours of the world to the table. In the Grand Salon, culture buffs can enjoy shows featuring traditional dance and song while guests who prefer the happening scene can try their luck in the casino or dance the night away on the dance floor of the ship's discotheque. But what makes the Paul Gauguin stand out from other cruise ships is the diversity of the landscapes it passes through each day: the open sea, then a lagoon, followed by an island, and then an atoll as guests enjoy warm days under the tropical sun and cool evenings under a star-filled sky. Here in Polynesia, there is always a back-to-back succession of islands and open spaces that are never quite alike...

We analysed by neutralisation assay 55 intravenous immunoglobulin preparations produced from human plasma collected in three central European countries, specifically Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic, from 2006 to 2010. The preparations from 2009 and 2010 contained increasing titres of neutralising antibodies against West Nile virus (WNV) in the absence of reported human WNV cases in these countries.
Clinical cases of West Nile virus (WNV) infection in the European Union (EU) have so far been limited to sporadic outbreaks (Table), while serological studies in sentinel horses and birds, as well as humans, have shown WNV circulation for decades, particularly in the southern EU Member States [1]. However, as exemplified by the WNV outbreak in Greece in summer 2010, the pathogenicity of this virus for humans can change. A study in 2007 detected 1% (4 of 392) WNV seropositivity in human serum samples collected from asymptomatic individuals living in Greece [2], whereas in 2010, WNV caused the second largest outbreak of human infections recorded in the EU since the outbreak in Romania in 1996 [3].
Table. Cases of West Nile virus infection and seropositivity in EU countries, Russia and Israel, by year of occurrence, 1962–2010
In order to assess how many people in central European countries may have been exposed to the virus, including individuals with subclinical disease, we analysed the WNV neutralising antibody titre of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), a blood product containing pooled immunoglobulins from the plasma of more than a thousand donors from Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. The suitability of this approach for assessing the cumulative number of WNV infections in a large donor population has recently been demonstrated through the use of IVIG to follow the spread of WNV in the United States [35].
Methods and results
Fully validated neutralisation assays were used to determine WNV and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) neutralisation titres (NT50) in 55 individual lots of IVIG manufactured from plasma pools (≥1,000 donors) collected in three EU countries (KIOVIG, Baxter), Austria (ca. 40-45%), Germany (ca. 40-45%) and to a lesser extent the Czech Republic (ca. 15%). The IVIG lots tested were produced in the years 2006 (n=10), 2007 (n=9), 2009 (n=20) and 2010 (n=16). For the year 2008, IVIG lots produced exclusively from EU plasma were not available for testing. The NT50 were determined, at least in duplicate, as described [35], using WNV strain 385-99, lineage 1 or TBEV strain Neudoerfl. When tested against WNV, IVIG samples were used undiluted and titrated on Vero cells (ECACC 84113001); against TBEV, samples were initially diluted 1:5 and titrated on A549 (ATCC CCL-185) cells. After seven days, each well was assessed for virus-induced cytopathic effect, and the NT50, i.e. the reciprocal dilution resulting in 50% virus neutralisation, is reported as mean±standard deviation of two or more replicates (Figure 1B). Plotting the WNV neutralisation titres of the respective IVIG lots against the year of product release, a statistically significant increase over the years 2006 to 2010 was observed (p=0.0269 one way ANOVA and p=0.004, post test for linear trend; Figure 1A).
To specifically discriminate antibodies induced by WNV infections of EU plasma donors from possibly cross-reactive antibodies against TBEV, a Flavivirus related to WNV and widely endemic in central Europe, the TBEV neutralisation capacity of the IVIG lots was also determined, after the first lots with higher WNV activity had been detected. This was done for 30 of the 55 IVIG lots (Figure 1B). We assessed a potential contribution of TBEV neutralising antibody titres to the measured WNV antibody titres by correlation analysis and found a significant correlation (r2=0.5, p=0.002) between the TBEV and WNV neutralisation titres for 19 of 30 IVIG lots analysed (Figure 1B, open circles). The apparent WNV neutralisation capacity of the majority of IVIG lots produced from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic therefore resulted, at least partially, from cross reactive antibodies as induced by the wide-spread use of TBEV vaccines or TBEV infections. The IVIG lots produced from plasma collected more recently, six lots in 2009 and five lots released for 2010 until April, did not fit this correlation. In general, plasma collection pre-dates release of IVIG lots by approximately 6–8 months. The IVIG lots containing significantly higher WNV-neutralising capacity (Figure 1, black diamonds) did not follow a seasonal pattern.
Figure 1. West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus neutralisation by intravenous immunoglobulin lots produced from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic (N=55)
The non-structural flavivirus protein NS1 is only expressed during infection, but not present in the inactivated whole virus vaccines that are used in the countries analysed here. In addition, reactivity of antibodies with the NS1 protein is specific to the flavivirus serotype, and thus infections with either WNV or TBEV can be differentiated [36]. We therefore analysed the antibody specificity of six randomly selected IVIG lots, produced in 2007 (n=1) and 2009 (n=5), by Western blot. TBEV- or WNV-infected Vero cells as well as recombinant WNV NS1 antigen were used as a positive and uninfected Vero cells as a negative control [37, 38]. The blots were incubated with IVIG produced from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic (Figure 2A), or with a control serum from TBEV-infected mice (Figure 2B). IVIG interacted with the flavivirus structural envelope protein E as well as the WNV-specific NS1 (Figure 2A). In contrast, the control mouse serum reacted strongly only with the E protein of TBEV-infected cells and weakly with WNV-infected cells (Figure 2B).
Figure 2. Reactivity of intravenous immunoglobulin lots produced from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic with viral proteins
Discussion and conclusion
We found that IVIG preparations manufactured from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic, contained neutralising antibodies against WNV at titres which have increased significantly since 2009. As WNV and TBEV are related flaviviruses, albeit distantly, we quantified neutralising antibody titres against TBEV in these IVIG lots, to investigate cross-reactivity between these two viruses as a potentially confounding variable. Indeed, very high TBEV NT50 titres of between 400 and 3,000 were observed in all investigated years, a result of vaccination and possibly subclinical TBEV infections. Despite a significant correlation of TBEV and WNV neutralisation titres in approximately 60% of the IVIG lots, 11 of the 30 lots contained significantly higher (p<0.0001) neutralisation titres against WNV (mean±standard error of the means (SEM): 6.5±0.6, n=11, compared with 2.8±0.1, n=19) that did not correlate with the TBEV-neutralising capacity. IVIG lots produced from plasma collected in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic were shown by Western Blot to contain specific antibodies against WNV NS1, the most useful differentiation marker for flavivirus infections in humans [36], which provided further evidence for past WNV infections in plasma donors from the central part of the EU. As the detection of antibodies to the WNV NS1 protein is serotype-specific, a possible contribution of antibodies against dengue virus can be excluded. The theoretical possibility of a contribution of neutralising antibodies to Usutu virus (USUV) [39], a virus that belongs to the same serocomplex as WNV, was not evaluated in vitro, as even the highest USUV activity in Austria as observed during the summer of 2003 [40] had no impact on the WNV-specific neutralisation titres in IVIG lots [41]. Moreover, despite a comprehensive surveillance programme for dead birds and mosquitoes in Austria [42], where around 45% of the plasma is collected for production of the IVIG lots tested in this study, no evidence of human exposure to USUV could be found [43], which makes a significant contribution of USUV antibodies to WNV neutralisation titres determined in the present study unlikely. However, additional studies would be relevant to describe this issue more precisely.
These results demonstrate WNV seropositivity in asymptomatic plasma donors from Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic, although some of the seropositivity could be due to travel-related infections. The present epidemiological situation in these countries is thus similar to the one in Greece before the recent epidemic. The causative agent of the outbreak in Greece, WNV lineage 2, has only once before been isolated from humans with severe clinical progression, in an outbreak in Volgograd, Russia in 2007 [18]. Before those two outbreaks, this lineage was considered to be less virulent in humans compared to isolates belonging to the lineage 1 [44]. It has been suggested that the evolution from low to high human pathogenicity is associated with mutations of only a few amino acids, most likely in the non structural proteins [45].
The WNV neutralisation capacity of IVIG lots produced from Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic has increased from a mean NT50 of 2.5 in 2006 and 2007 to 4.2 at the beginning of 2010, which accounts for an increase of 1.7 in the WNV neutralising capacity (Figure 1). The TBEV neutralisation titres of IVIG have not changed over time, and thus the increase in WNV neutralisation titres is most likely a true reflection of increased virus circulation. Using the same, fully validated assay, reconvalescent sera from human WNV cases in North America have earlier been shown to have a mean NT50 of 208 [41], 120-fold higher than the increase now observed. This would indicate past WNV exposure of just under 1% of the population of Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. The increasing WNV seropositivity in these countries marks this virus as a potential public health concern in this area, and a future epidemic associated with human morbidity and mortality similar to that observed in summer 2010 in Greece cannot be excluded.
We are sincerely grateful to Jens Modrof for his continued support and scientific advice. The contributions of the entire Global Pathogen Safety Team, most notably Cornelia Lassl and Nicole Wurzer (WNV neutralisation testing), Sonja Kurzmann, Elisabeth Pinter, Karin Berka, Bettina York and Claudia Schwarr (virus propagation and cell culture) and the Molecular Vaccines Department, especially Kathrin Janecki (recombinant WNV NS1 expression) are gratefully acknowledged.

text: Spies Struggles in Qualifying in Qatar Henny Ray Abrams | April 10, 2010LOSAIL, QATAR, APRIL 10: MotoGP rookie Ben Spies was hoping for more in his first qualifying session on the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 machine, but tire issues dropped him to 11th fastest in advance of Sunday's season-opening Qatar Grand Prix.Spies had been the revelation of off-season testing, including coming fourth at the final pre-season test here about two weeks ago. But he could never get any momentum going in qualifying and wasn't able to make the most of the softer of the two rear Bridgestone tires, which was worth several tenths in lap time.So Spies, who won both World Superbike races here last year, will start the season in the middle of the third row, just behind fellow rookie Hiroshi Aoyama (Interwetten Honda MotoGP) and in front of Pramac Racing's Mika Kallio. Teammate Colin Edwards is one row ahead."Not a good session at all," Spies said in his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 garage soon after qualifying. His best lap of 1:56.271 was 1.264 seconds off the benchmark set by Casey Stoner. "I'm not going to really go into detail what all happened, but it just was a session that it was one to forget. It was a real bad session. But the positives were we did our fastest time on our race tires that had laps on them. So I know the top four guys obviously were a little bit quicker on hard tires, but the majority of the people that were quicker than us were on soft tires for sure."Spies wasn't able to make the most of the softer of the Bridgestone rears. He didn't use one at all on Friday, knowing that it wouldn't last race distance and preferring to devote his time to race set-up. In Saturday's late night qualifying session, "We never did a full lap on them," he said. "We just had a little problem with the tires. Whether it was me or just a little inconsistent, we didn't get it done. But I am happy with the lap time we put in for the race tires, because that's what we've got to race on, that's what we did our time on and happy about that."Spies had a few moments while on fast laps, but he didn't think it was anything major. Certainly nothing that would have caused a spill."Just a couple little hiccups here and there," he said. "Nothing that was major. No almost crashes or anything, but just stuff that messed up the fast lap and every lap that I was on a good lap was messed up. I never put in a clean lap. Did one in the end that was decent, but it wasn't anything I thought was going to be great. I just tried to put the best time I could in to get up there. Definitely every lap, every qualifying type lap didn't finish with a good time."Henny Ray Abrams | Contributing EditorAbrams is the longest-serving contributor at Cycle News.

Good news, bad news for FAMU law school
The good news: The bar passage rate for FAMU's law school is up to 60 percent on the most recent sitting, after several recent sittings in which a little more than half the students passed.
The bad news: FAMU's bar passage remains the lowest among public and private law schools in Florida by 12 percentage points.
The Florida Board of Bar Examiners released the results for July's test on Monday, just a few days after FAMU trustees approved a $250,000-a-year contract for the law school's first permanent dean in two years, Northern Illinois University law school dean LeRoy Pernell.

Red Line-equipped off-road driver puts new machine through true test
DANVILLE, CA JUNE 9, 2014 Jason Scherer's brand new IFS car is going to be a strong contender in the upcoming Ultra4 series races, as proven by it's excellent performance at this weekends MetalCloak Ultra4 Stampede race. Started a short 3 months ago after the finish of the King of the Hammers, "The Gavel" hit dirt for the very first time on it's way to Friday's Tech Inspection where it passed with flying colors. Scherer finished 12th in the main event, after racing up to the lead with just a half of lap to go. "It was great to see Tom Wayes in the winners circle in the same car that won last years Stampede!" said Jason Scherer, the 2013 MetalCloak Stampede winner. "We had our fair share of little issues that we had to work out on the new car this weekend. Today's race was a bit bittersweet, knowing the car is awesome and with a little tuning is a top contender. But, also knowing that just making a normal pass or probably following the lapper would have been good enough for the win in the car's debut race. A little prep, some tuning, and some small mods and we will be ready for Glen Helen on July 11th!"
Jason Scherer's #76 Rubicon Express, Nitto Tire silver car had its battles on and off the track. Starting out with overheating during the laps to get fastest times for prelims, it would cool and then overheat about 2 times per lap. Thanks to the Gomez race team, they were able to create a vacuum and refill the system adding an entire extra gallon of water into the system. In the qualifying heat, Jason would hit the rocker switch for the fans turning them off while restarting the car after stalling. The car overheated before he realized the self-created issue and lost water. Taking it easy, getting it out of limp mode, he noticed there was a vibration, related later to a hot transmission. The input shaft on the transfer case was pushing on the transmission and had lost the seal, losing all the fluid and eventually the forward drive. Jason limped the car off the track and onto the trailer where they spent all night at his home shop working on the car.
The team consisting of Jason, Brian Farris, Brett and Chad Lujan, "durka durka" Jonathan Haniger, Angel Finder Phil Smith worked all night pulling and rebuilding the Atlas adding a snap ring and installing a "heater core" to the factory ports of the water pump using a large CBR oil cooler to help the radiator gain some additional cooling capacity. Come morning sun, it was time to load up and head back to Prairie City, just outside of Sacramento, to race the LCQ and make it into the main.
Brian Kirby was onsite when they arrived to do some quick shock adjustments on the Fox Shox before LCQ, then Jason jumped on the track with confidence and showed the crowd what the car is capable of: a win in his heat.
"The main was exciting, from the start to the finish," said Jason. "I've started in the back a few times and it's always tough when you have to rely on a little bit of luck to get you past the traffic jam, I've been on both sides. This was one of those lucky times where my line opened up in front of me and let me pass 9 people on lap one, and work my way up to 4th by lap 2 and then into 3rd by lap 3." Racing side-by-side with Loren Healy, Loren would pull away in sections and then Jason's Pacific Fabrication horsepower engine would pull on the straight away. After the mandatory caution yellow flag, Shannon Campbell had car issues and left Jason and Loren to race to the finish. "I was trying to be nice to a fellow competitor that was lap traffic and get on the horn to let them know I was coming when my arm bounced and I killed the fuel pump and ignition. I turned them back on and the motor wouldn't start…just the sound of a grinding starter. When it did refire, I was in limp mode for some reason and I sat there and watched 11 cars pass trying to figure out what was going on. For some reason it came back to life again and I finished the race in 12th place."
Although there was no rest for the team, Jason Scherer was excited to have this weekend's MetalCloak Ultra4 Stampede race so close to his home and the home of Rubicon Express at Prairie City SVRA in Rancho Cordova, CA. Jason is looking forward to some R&R in his Rubicon Express JK, now outfitted with Savvy Off Road half doors.
Before the race, Jason said: "I am going into this race being realistic about the outcome. We will essentially be running the car for the first time, and although I am the most confident in what we have built, there are always those variables that happen," said Scherer. "I would like to sincerely thank all of the guys that have dedicated their personal time to building this car and to all of the suppliers that have gotten us parts in the time frame that we needed them to complete this build. This was a huge team effort and I am looking forward to putting the car on the track and proving that our concept works!" Consensus has it the concept is now proven.
Final results of the Ultra4 Western Series Metalcloak Stampede in Prairie City on June 7th is available at www.Ultra4Racing.com. A four-part series of the vehicle build can be found at: DrivingLine.com or on Jason Scherer Facebook page: www.facebook.com/JasonScherer76

I have assembled the photos that I took on Crown Princess yesterday into a virtual tour of the ship. http://www.beyondships.com/CrownPrincess-Tour-1.html
I hope you find it interesting.
That was great!! Thank you for sharing...I will be on the Crown Princess in November. Is it similar??
Ummm..DUH! Your pictures were of the Crown Princess...I meant I will be on the Golden Princess http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Golden is similar to Crown in that both are Grand-class ships. In other words, they both were started from the same design. There are some differences, however. For example, Crown has one more deck than Golden.
Have you even looked at jewerly on board? we were thinking of buying my fiance's wedding band on board but I am afriad the prices will be alot higher. do you have any experiance with this?
Hi yabers, welcome to Cruise-Chat. Actually, their prices are pretty good on board and they usually have sales. I've purchased a couple of rings, a necklace, a watch and a bracelet on board. The prices were comparable to the prices on St. Thomas. Princess gives you a warranty, and you can have things sized without charge (at least that's what they told me-I've not tried it). If you're going to St. Thomas or St. Maarten, check the prices on board before you go ashore. That way you can see which is the better deal. I can almost guarantee you it will be a better price than in the states. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Thank you so much for your fast reply. Looks like we will be waiting till we cruise to buy his ring. Thanks so much!!
You're so welcome. What a wonderful thing to look forward to. A cruise and a ring!
Hi Beyondships,
Thanks for the great pics of the Crown Princess. We are booked on the Crown for two back to back seven dayers out of San Juan January 5, 2008, and can't wait. The ship looks beautiful. Should be a great cruise.
Thanks for the kind comments. I have now also posted some photos of Grand Princess. http://www.beyondships.com/GrandPrincess-Tour.html

There may be factory work... That's what I had to do. The horrible places that everyone hates are almost always hiring, even in a recession.
Get in line. It's everywhere.
keep checking in with them. as my aunt says, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
keep trying, keep following up, and don't give up. it took me like 6 months from my last assignment with one agency to my first one with another one. Also give employment agencies a try.....they are always looking for more people, cause sometimes they get hired by the company they are working at like i did!! lol.

Seriously though if you can get into an agency that's like a really good way to go. you can be temporary with different companies every couple of months depending on how long that company needs you or go for something long term and hope they like you enough to hire you. Good luck!!
Keep applying. Don't give up hope.
babysitting! im telling you- if you get a rich family to like you- you can make baaaaank andddd theyll pay for you to go on vacation with them sometimes too!!! try sittercity.com and care.com

there's not just babysitting on there either. theres pet care and tutoring and house cleaning and elderly care i think. also you can check craigslist.
Could you go to school full time? Is that a possibility? Maybe get a grant, scholarship, and/or federal loan. Because when you finish, you'll be much more employable for the rest of your life.
Keep on trying and dont give up....... It took my son three months to find a job after he graduated from college with a degree --hang in there.
Get someone to sponsor you whilst you make a documentary about your issues.
Keep applying
Apply to #17 and more after that. Sooner or later, someone will be hiring. Be sure to smile, be polite, neat and tidy, and make sure your fingernails are clean. Also, check back with them in person.
Find a company that is owned by the employees and go there. If not, ask around and get one of your friends to get you on somewhere, that's how everyone gets their jobs anyways. you may also have to intern for a month or so to learn the ropes before you get hired full time
To add to this thought, you can tell them you'll volunteer for a few weeks and if they like you, they can hire you. If not, you'll go on your way.
Join the Military.
Seriously, that is a good suggestion. You can see the world and you get good leadership training.
I did that and, except for a minor conflict in Vietnam, it made my life (going to University with the help of he GI Bill, etc.)
Keep trying :/ I'm 25.9890 and I can't get a job with a Computer Science degree... at least not where I, or anybody else, would want to work.
keep looking, & check out igher ed
Call Obama.

The states will be able to demand extra funding from the federal government, on top of the $16.4 billion already promised, to cover additional health spending under the terms of the new hospital funding agreement.
Under the deal unveiled earlier this month, the commonwealth and state governments have agreed to a new arrangement to split the rapidly escalating cost of hospital care.
At the time of the announcement, Prime Minister
The spending had been factored into the forward estimates and, Ms Gillard said, came with strict conditions on reform which meant "the days of the blank cheque are also gone". But Health Minister
"That means the states can budget on that basis, but if the population needs change, if the health needs of the community change – and, as we know, what often happens in health, there is high demand consistently – then it may be a larger amount of money, and we have committed to that," she said.
In a statement, Ms Roxon said the system would mean the commonwealth would have a "strong incentive to invest in primary care to keep Australians healthy and out of hospital".
Opposition health spokesman
"A weak and desperate Prime Minister has fallen for a rolled-gold con job, capitulated to a group of savvy premiers and written them an open-ended blank cheque," he said.
"Worse still, she wants to lock future federal governments, via legislation, into this dud deal for years to come with no guarantee that additional federal funding will even be spent on hospitals. That would be unprecedented."
Legislation is yet to be presented to implement the deal but Mr Dutton said the Coalition would not be "locked" into a deal that delivered funding increases to the states without guarantees of improved performance.
Liberal Party premiers from NSW, Victoria and Western Australia have all signed up to the deal.
A briefing from the Victorian government explaining the funding deal shows that states decide the total volume of services to be provided in any year.
In the early years of the arrangement, the federal government will continue current base levels of funding and fund 45 per cent of the growth both in volume and in the cost of procedures. From 2017, the federal government's share rises to 50 per cent.
A new national authority body will decide what the fair price is for any procedure to enable the calculation of the federal share in actual dollars.
The $16.4 billion is split into two parts. About $9.5 billion will be divided between the states on a per capita basis.
The remaining $6.9 billion will be shared out based on the growth in costs for each state relative to other states.
"This means that at least some of the $16.4 billion distribution is known and agreed up front and the rest will depend on how much each state chooses to spend themselves," the Victorian briefing says.
If Victoria's spending grows less quickly than that of other states, it would expect to get less than the $4.1 billion it had budgeted to receive.
"If all states spend much more than historic trends and estimates, then the commonwealth will have to put in more than $16.4 billion," the briefing says.

Roger Goodell Is A Clown – Bruce's Thought Of The Day
Oh that Roger Goodell. What a commissioner. Oh he really cares about the players. He is the biggest, baddest sheriff in town. What nonsense. Goodell is nothing more then a hypocrite and a tyrant.
Let's break it down. His harsh sanctions on the New Orleans Saints are absurd. Not 1 of these players that were "bountied" were carried off on a stretcher. The worst hit of all the one on Kurt Warner was perfectly clean and text book. Suspending Coach Payton for 1 year is outlandish. Did he and the Saints break the rules. Yes. is it worth 1 year on the sidelines-NO. Peyton knew about these "bounties" no question. How many other coaches know this goes on. All of them. It goes on in every locker room in the NFL and many in the NHL, NBA etc etc. These "bounties" are waaay over blown as much in the media and chat circle is. You are never going to end it whatever IT is.
Former Defensive Co-Ordinator Gregg Williams is suspended for an indefinent amount of time. This very well could mean until the concussion lawsuits are done with. Don't know. That's what this whole charade is all about. Those absurd concussion lawsuits that to me have no basis and should be tossed out as frivilous. This is the same Goodell who wants an 18 game schedule. Yeah nothing speaks to player safety like 2 more games of banging heads.
Next reason why Goodell is a clown and a liar. His reputation of being this tough guy against "dirty" hits. Yeah what he has accomplished is basically neutering defenses and defensive players and it is all subjective anyhow. If a ball carrier makes a "football" move to allude and puts himself in a vulnurable position to get slammed and then does why is this the defensive players fault? it's not. Yet with Clown Goodell and his subjective discipline no defensive player can hit a guy if that guy gets hurt yet it is that players fault. See Pittsburgh defensive lineman James Harrison. It is Goodell who makes the call and it is arbitrary at best. I said it during lockout negotiations. If I was a player part of those negotiations would be that Goodell steps down as commish. In Goodells NFL 45-42 games are his desire. Defense is his bane. For me this is the definition of boring. Last team that gets the ball wins. Yawn.
Yet in Goodell's NFL a murderer like Donte Stallworth can play. What a JOKE this is. Leonard Little is another murderer yet he is welcome in Goodells NFL. Total nonsense.
Back to the Saints and the bounty. No one will argue it is ok to go out and on purpose try and hurt or maim players. That's not Football thats barbaric. But injuries happen in this brutal sport and the meek aren't welcome. Their are "bounties" in every locker room. However there are't paper trails like the Saints left.
Players look for "kill" shots and thats part of the game. The literal crowd will take that to mean it's ok to hurt. Not at all but hitting hard causes turnovers and that is what defenses are looking to do. Hit you so hard you turn the ball over. Now with Clown Goodell it will be love taps cause if a guy gets hurt on a "kill" shot the investigation will begin. What players want any part of that. yet this is the same Goodell that has no problem with NFL films or merchandise that glorifies big hits. Oh that's right the cash reggy is ringing. My bad. The same Goodell that cracked on the jets fro the Ines Sinez stuff yet sent a swim suit model to represent the NFL in London. Total hypocrisy by Clown Goodell.
The NFL is enjoying the fruits of Goodell right now but I believe an erosion might be coming. Hope I am wrong. Love the NFL, especially the old art of defense. The fans will be entertained by 35-32 games for so long and then they will get bored with it.
I could go on and on how Goodell is a hypocrite. This bounty stuff is just the latest example. You can bet your last dollar "bounties" will be back week 1.
I realize I am in the minority on this. Some believe Goodell is some sort of hero. I think he is a joke. Just fining players willy nilly. Suspending players or coaches for however or however much he wants at any time. No this isn't a heroic man. This is a dictator who has too much power and not enough checks in the check and balance system. Goodell is out of hand and wields too much power. I am sick of Roger Goodell and his dictatorial ways and his blatent hypocrisy. Murderers can play. Yet ruffians get crushed. Woman can't be hooted at yet yet he sells sex. Big hits are frowned on until it makes money for the NFL.
if it were me and I was a player it is time to focus on the clown act and dictatorship of the commish and his blatent lies and hypocrisy. The NFL and it's fans would be better served if we got a new leader that wasn't on a power trip and didn't have an ego that was more important then the game itself.

Reflecting upon the entrepreneurship initiatives in new emerging African nations: zooming the cultural lens on education systems in two former German colonies
This paper seeks to explore and develop an understanding why there are significant differences in terms of entrepreneurial development amongst the West African nation of Ghana and the Southern African nation of Namibia. More importantly, this paper aims to create understanding as to why Ghana which was the first African nation to receive independence in sub-Saharan Africa from colonial rule; a country which was a primary role model for many African states has such a low level of literacy which could hinder entrepreneurial development, in comparison to Namibia which is one of the last nations to gain its independence. This is a continuing debate, and this paper is only one of the few experiments which were conducted among African nations. Any changes which occurred in Ghana and Namibia after colonisation should be viewed within the cultural context within which each of these nations and the cooperation which exist amongst the citizens of each nation.

The 30 per cent plus decline in accounting group WHK's share price in the wake of a profit downgrade in late April and a postponement of merger discussions has cast a pall over the financial services sector, which has delivered big gains for investors post the financial crisis.
WHK says that discussions with the financial planning group SFG are still ongoing, but the fact that the deal has fallen over signifies that for many at the big end of town, the easy gains have been made in the sector.
With compliance costs rising due to the Future of Financial Advice Reforms (FoFA), for many of the junior operators it could be a case of get taken over or face years of declining share prices. Such was the desperation to merge in the WHK/SFG scenario and wealth management firms in general.
As BBY analyst Brett Le Mesurier says: "Wealth management firms' overriding issue is margin compression caused by increasing compliance costs and competition."
This is a broad sector, and includes companies that provide finance, wealth management and financial advice. All have benefited from 23 years of domestic economic expansion and low interest rates. Many stocks in the sector have more than doubled in value, while others have noticeably languished.
Financial services companies have also benefited from being the ones that were left standing in the wake of the financial crisis, where the taps were largely turned off by the big providers of capital – the banks. Some companies found their business models couldn't handle it, and went bust, most famously Babcock & Brown and Allco.
But for the ones that could, they provided big returns for investors prepared to back companies whose shares were priced at levels that assumed they would go broke.
Now that many of the financial services' stocks have run so hard, many are betting on consolidation for further share market appreciation. While this could happen, it is interesting to watch the intensity of effort being put into such outcomes. Many highly paid investment bankers and "consultants", including former AMP chief Paul Batchelor, have to strut their stuff on much smaller deals that don't necessarily make sense.
In Radar's opinion the proposed SFG/WHK merger smacks of desperation, and as SFG is one of our research tips, we are glad it didn't go through.
SFG was formed in 2011 by the $300 million merger of vertically integrated financial advice groups Snowball and Shadforth Financial to create an enlarged wealth management group with more than $24.5 billion in funds under advice.
The management team of Snowball has been long hungry for acquisitions, which mirrors the ethos of Kevin White, the man who created WHK. He added on accounting firm after accounting firm and paid for them by issuing new equity. Of course, this has ended in tears when now chief executive John Lombard came on the scene and tried to get the accountants to work.
Accounting firms generally trade on earnings before interest and tax multiples of five times, while financial planning firms trade on 10 times. The difference is attributed to the higher costs of running accounting firms, which require more complex systems. Accountants, who are generally more qualified than financial planners, bristle at this. But they often don't like the financial planning business itself because of the higher risks involved in giving financial advice.
Mergers often make sense in the financial world because of the constant search for synergies and scale. With increasing fixed costs, it makes it a necessity for the smaller operators. But it doesn't mean it's always a good thing for shareholders on both sides.

Goldandgreennews.com: After finishing the season undefeated and ranked second in the nation a year ago, what has been the Utes' focus this season? They have a couple strong early-season wins over the likes of Louisville, but a loss to a very strong Oregon team. If you had to characterize the Utah team this year, how would you best describe them?
Durrant: Inconsistent. Utah is going through growing pains this season which had led to inconsistent play especially on offense. The right side of the offensive line is new, the quarterback is new, the receivers have never played starters minutes. As a result, receivers are dropping passes, open receivers are being missed, and the blocking has been spotty. The times when the young players are on the same page, Utah's offense has been
very good, but they will go through stretches in games where everything is out of sync. Defensively Utah is solid and has really come on strong the last few games in the turnover department. Even here the Utes have been inconsistent; great against the run one week, bad the next.
Goldandgreennews.com: With the graduation losses Utah encountered offensively and defensively, this team doesn't appear to have missed a step - especially on paper. Take me through the offense and tell me how the Utes lost their starting quarterback from a year ago and actually lead the Mountain West Conference with 432 total yards per game? Terrance Cain kicks in 228 passing yards a game and another 52 yards per game on the ground. Tell us what makes him a special player and how his abilities have influenced the Utes offense.
Durrant: While Utah's offense has been putting up a lot of yards, those yards have not translated into points. Short yardage and goal-to-go situations have really hurt the Utah offense and there have been far too many empty possessions. Utah has only scored six touchdowns in 15 trips inside the 20, and a lot of that is due to the inconsistencies of the inexperienced offense. Missed field goals have hurt as well. Cain's biggest strength is that he knows his weaknesses and does a good job of playing within his limits. Cain does not have the biggest arm and is not the greatest runner, but he is calm and efficient. He will occasionally force a throw but for the most part is willing to take a sack or throw the ball away than force it. It is his calm demeanor that is his biggest influence on an inexperienced offense. Cain does not get too high after a big play or too low after a turnover and that has helped in the transition in personnel and offensive coordinator. I would not say Cain is a special player yet but is working his way there, getting better and more comfortable in the new offense each and every week.
Goldandgreennews.com: While Utah does run a spread offense, they are averaging five yards per carry and have three runners with better than 200 yards already this year. How are the Utes able to move the ball on the ground so well and what does each back bring to the table?
Durrant:To Utah, the term "spread offense" is a means to establish the running game. Utah will put 3 and 4 WR's out wide to create an "in the box" advantage, especially with a QB like Cain who is a good runner. Utah consistently plays with 6-7 players "in the box" and each player must be accounted for due to the running QB. With Utah's talent at WR that leaves the defense in a numbers crunch: Do we play man coverage and try to outnumber the Utes in the box with 7-8 players and risk getting beat by the pass or do we defend the pass by playing the safeties back and risk getting gashed by the run? With 4 WR's spread across the entire width of the field, defensive fronts get more spread out and seams can open up in the running game. Utah's scheme allows runners to read the defense and the blocking up front, make one cut and hit that seam. It doesn't hurt that Utah's receivers are excellent blockers.
Utah lost their leading rusher, Matt Asiata, for the season early in the last game. Asiata's bruising style will be missed. Even with the main running threat gone, Utah will not change their offensive scheme much other than to match the abilities of the personnel. Cain is quick on his feet and surprisingly fast. He also know when to slide and avoid taking unnecessary hits. Eddie Wide steps in for Asiata, and is a completely different type of back. Wide is smaller, faster, and quicker. Kyle Whittingham describes
Wide as "a darter, he's got great quickness, great change of direction, he can start and stop on a dime". Wide is a capable replacement and ran for 129 yards against Louisville in essentially three quarters of work.
Wide's usual backup Sausan Shakerin (saw-sawn shaw-care-een) is questionable for the game with wrist and shoulder injuries and will most likely not play. "Shak" is a big runner who plays smaller than his size due to an upright running style but has great speed. When Shak does get low and runs behind his pads, he is a very dangerous runner who can break tackles up front while outrunning the pursuit. Shak's only run of the season was a 46-yard scamper.
Expect to see a lot of WR Shaky Smithson. With Shak out Smithson will be the backup running back. Smithson was a jack-of-all-trades in junior college, playing every skill position on offense so lining up in the backfield in not new to him. Smithson is a hybrid player who has good speed and quickness, but can get low and run with surprising power for a 210 pounder. Smithson is an exciting player with the ball in his hands, due to the way he approaches the game. "My number one goal is to get the ball in the endzone and play every play like it's my last." Smithson is also excited for the expected snowy conditions. The Baltimore native says he likes the snow and "had one of my best games in snow."
After Wide, Shak, and Smithson, Utah is very thin at running back.
Goldandgreennews.com: Defensively, Utah leads the Mountain West in pass efficiency (under 50 percent) and have picked off four passes while allowing just two touchdown passes all season. Tell us about the Utah defense and how teams have tried to attack it this season.
Durrant: Basically, opponents have run the ball right at the Utes, with success. Utah's run defense was supposed to be the strength of the defense and has not performed up to expectations. With starting defensive tackle Lei Talamaivao out with a broken leg, Utah will have to get creative to stop the run. Defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake is not happy with the way the defense has played and places much of that blame on himself. Utah's defense finally started to look like a complete unit playing up to Sitake's "Utah defense" standard against Louisville but could have their hands full against a Colorado State offense that can and will attack both on the ground and through the air.
Goldandgreennews.com: Finally, what are your three keys to the game and your prediction on the final score?
Durrant: 1. Stop the run. Utah's defense is at their best when they can use down-and-distance to their advantage. With Talamaivao out this is an even bigger concern. Utah has been excellent at stopping opponents on third downs this season (19%) and getting three-and-outs will be huge in a tight game in bad weather. That starts by stopping the run.
2. No empty possessions in the redzone. With the kicking game seemingly taken care of, the Utes now need to focus on scoring touchdowns inside the 20. Losing Asiata might be a blessing in disguise here, as the Utah offense had a tendency to rely on him too much despite defenses keying on the run and will now have to get others involved.
3. Get the Homecoming crowd out of the game early. The Utes have yet to play well on the road this season and an early lead to silence the home crowd will go a long way to providing some needed confidence.
Final Score: Utah 24 Colorado State 14

Punk compilations must be some of the most dangerous compilations to invest money in based on what you hope to get out of them. Pretty much anybody can pick up a guitar and start strumming and screaming and call it a band. This is especially the case when a record label trying to promote its bands puts out that compilation. You'd think that a label would be discriminating in the bands it signs, and that on a comp album, they would go to some lengths to feature the best songs by those acts. As Boycott Radical Records proves, this isn't always the case.
If you like Radical Records or the acts that record on the label, then you'll probably enjoy this disc. It's certainly targeted specifically to a certain type of fan, and certain set of punks. This is the kind of music for those of you wearing faded black leather jackets with three inch spikes and a Crass bandana sown to the back. This is for punks who enjoy shows where people haul tins of lager into the air, scream "Oi!" and look for a good fight. This is music to get a black eye to.
Not that I'm knocking the lifestyle. It's just that this isn't likely to appeal to any musical aesthetes out there. There's plenty of energy and vitality on this album, but the songs are often pretty indistinguishable from one another.
Twenty-five songs on one disc isn't bad for the money, that's true, even when those songs come from only nine acts. But whoever chose the arrangement for this compilation was either lazy or has no sense of composition, because the order of bands on the first nine songs is the same order on the next nine songs, and so on. They might as well have put all the songs by each band back to back for all the creativity this shows.
The bands that appear are as follows: Blanks 77, Road Rage, Inspecter 7, The Booked, The Agents, I.C.U., Sturgeon General, The Cuffs, and Social Scare. The songs by Blanks 77 ("I Wanna Be A Punk," "Radio Hits," and "Search and Destroy") are so standard that they're completely unremarkable. Same guitar chord, garbled lyrics, and pounded drum skins in each song. If you're looking for Black Flag, keep looking. Road Rage keep the energy high and the screaming going, although they have slightly more talent in terms of their ability to play. "Borderline" is a good example of speeded up punk perfect to slamdance to.
Acts like I.C.U. have such poor production value on some of their songs that you might as well be listening to a wall of noise with screaming lyrics that somehow come over as whispers. The Cuffs, prototypical Oi! Punk, are amusing for the fact that hey sound almost like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones without the ska horn section.
The Agents mix things up a little with some ska-punk, and their song "Come My Way," is one of the few on the album in which you can actually make out the words. "Hello" continues this and shows them to be some of the most accomplished musicians on Radical. In the same vein, Inspecter 7 sends up solid ska-punk songs "H.C.S." "Regret II," and "Quick Work." This is definitely the highlight band of the album, and these three songs are probably the best on the disc.
One of the possible benefits to Boycott Radical Records as a compilation album is that it isn't too varied and the songs sound similar, so you're able to listen to the whole thing all the way through and not feel the songs are too contrasted. Except for The Agents and Inspecter 7, most of the music is straightforward, loud and punk. If this is how you like your tunes, smash a beer can on your forehead (or the forehead of the angry punk next to you) and raise your voices and fists in a resounding "Oi!"

Robert Launay In the mid 1980s, we were living in Cote d'Ivoire, where I was conducting anthropological research. The country was still prosperous, though the Ivorian economic "miracle" was beginning to wear thin. Throughout the country, though particularly in the richer southern half, a whole new crop of restaurants had emerged. They were known as "maquis" in Ivoirian French. Don't ask me why; the word means "swamp" in France. They were small restaurants serving African food to a middle-class clientele. The best of them were marvelous, where you could eat a fantastic meal for what was (for us, not for all Africans) a very modest sum. In the process, they created a distinctly national cuisine, with dishes that you would not normally find anywhere else, even in neighboring countries: foutou (pounded yam or plantain) with a rich red palm oil sauce; attieke, grated fermented manioc, served with chicken in rich tomato sauce or simply with grilled whole fish; and, most special of all, kedjenou. A kedjenou is cooked in a largish ceramic pot, in which layers of meat -- chicken or a wild rodent known as "agouti" in Ivoirian French -- alternate with layers of vegetables: tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers (the heat depends on the ingredients, but the dish is typically fairly mild). The chicken is generally a "poulet bicyclette" -- a bicycle chicken -- raised uncaged, small, scrawny, tough, and incredibly tasty. The pot is covered with a moistened banana leaf, and the meat and vegetables simmer in their own juices. You know the dish is ready when enough steam has built up to lift up the banana leaf cover. The meat is done perfectly, the vegetables have blended into a kind of puree, and every bite is pure heaven, with only the flavor the ingredients coming together in a harmonious whole.
Robert Stigger Our students in Pul-i-Khumri, Afghanistan (where we were Peace Corps volunteers teaching high school English in the early 1970s) regularly invited us to dinner. Of course the hostesses strove to outdo one another. One evening while we were enjoying an appetizer of "Awshak", the most delicious imaginable concoction of leek ravioli, tomato sauce, yogurt and mint, our host continually beseeched us to save room for the special surprise main course. We reluctantly didn't finish the bowl of Awshak. Whereupon we were served the piece de resistance. Fried spam.
Margaret Czopor I am a Chicagoan, born and raised. I currently live in Chicago. My parents are Polish and my mom still has family that lives in the Polish country side. The best food I've ever had was from that Polish country side. My aunt had chickens and the chickens egg yolks were always different shades of orange. So I find it strange that when you go to the store all the eggs are the same in color. She also had a goat which she would milk. So I've tried fresh goat milk. I've had fresh rabbit meat, which was the juiciest/ most tender meat I've ever tasted. I've also had thick sweet cream from fresh cows milk. The best thing in the world. I've never tasted anything close to it in America. It's like whipped cream but thicker, and no whipping needed. And good old fresh Polish sausage of course.We'll have more on the competing dishes as well as recipes later today.

Kristen Stewart is in somewhat of a confused state these days. She was so angry for so long but she always had her supportive aloof boyfriend to support her in her rebel without a case mindset. Now, he's gone and she seems a bit adrift. Is she a serious thespian, is she a international fashionista, is she a girl who still wants to be checked out by guys? Well, until I hear otherwise, I'm going with the latter.
Frowns aside, wearing a see-through top around L.A. and flashing your bra when you look like Kristen Stewart, not to mention, you are actually Kristen Stewart, you're going to get noticed. As we did. I'd suggest a burqa perhaps if she wants less of a visual follow, though I hope she rejects my advice. I still think she's hot. Even if that ideas makes her even angrier. Enjoy.

So you want to know how to talk dirty to your wife. Talking dirty can add a lot of spice to your lovemaking so it's easy to see why you want to know how to do it. It may make you a bit uncomfortable with the following tips should help ease you into it. Remember that many couples use this type of talk on a regular basis. Talking dirty can be very healthy.
1. Before you use dirty talk with your wife, sit down with her and have an open and honest conversation about what words are okay. Depending on how she was raised she may not like certain words. You may also be surprised at what words she likes. Having this conversation before you head into the bedroom can help you avoid any unwanted awkwardness.
2. Now take a deep breath and relax. You want dirty talk to sound natural and not forced. When using this type of talk make sure that you are yourself. Let the words flow. It is time to tap into your inner "bad-boy". Everyone has a naughty side to them and all you have to do is access this.
3. This tip is a fantastic icebreaker. When using erotic talk, complement your wife. Tell her what you like about her body. Tell her how you feel when she does certain things to you. Every woman loves a complement, and your wife is no different. Give her a sexy complement and you will probably be surprised at how she responds.
The most important point is to have fun. Talking dirty with your wife can really turn up the heat and add a whole new level to your lovemaking.

""It Was My Wife's Idea..."
"She thought that adding dirty talk to our sex would make things even steamier, boy was she right.

If there is a sport that the Brits are good at it is football
And being Late Night London we knew that we would be letting our fellow Londoners down if we didn't do something incredible to celebrate that little (and when we say little what we really mean is HUGE) football tournament that kicks off this Friday!
In the west end Tiger Tiger's cloud lounge has been transformed with comfy sofa's, massive beanbags and screens that surround the room so you don't miss a minute. We know, we know, those features alone don't make an experience… so how about fridges jam packed with bottles of Heineken, pour your own draft Heineken points and foosball tables to keep that competitiveness going at half time and after the match!
Over in the city, Amber Bar has transformed two of its rooms. Lets start with Milk bar, just like Tiger Tiger it is completely kitted out with sofa's large screens, bottled and pour your own Heineken and foosball. However Amber also have a ping pong table as a cheeky little bonus.
Talking of table tennis. The second room, now named The Box is a great place to get 25 of your mates together and have your own Euro viewing experience. This room has a ping pong table, pour your own pint as well as a fully stocked fridge, and of course, big screens and comfy seating. What more could you want?

An SUV with an unconscious man at the wheel rolled down a busy street and over a median in Corte Madera before coming to rest at a car dealership, the fire department reported.
Even with the passed-out driver, the vehicle did not collide with any other cars.
"It's pretty remarkable," said Corte Madera fire Capt. Dan Reese. "When (paramedics) went to the window, he was awakening. The last thing he remembered was, he felt euphoria."
The incident occurred at about 1:15 p.m. Tuesday on Paradise Drive. A paramedic crew that happened to be heading to another fire station for a meeting noticed the SUV going down the street with its driver apparently unconscious, Reese said.
The car went over a median and paused, but then the driver slumped forward and the vehicle continued. It came to a stop at the Mini Cooper dealership on Paradise Drive.
The paramedics rushed to the car and found the driver coming back to consciousness. The 51-year-old man, who was not injured, told paramedics he had had no similar episodes in the past.
The man was taken to Marin General Hospital for examination. Intoxication was not suspected.

Brangelina have 'a few special places.' For sex.
Don't believe the rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are close to splitting up. No, they like to brag about having sex too much for that. But remember, she talked about Billy Bob Thornton that way, too.
After Brad dished in Parade that there's a grotto behind the waterfall in their pool that was "a great place for sex," Angie took the time during the L.A. premiere of Inglourious Basterds to say that was just one of many places they grabbed a quickie.
"We've got a few special places, you know? You keep it going," the U.K.'s Sun quoted her.
"It's not true," Brad added. "We have far more comfortable places to go. There is an old Hollywood property just a few minutes away. It has a grotto there. The rumor is Jimi Hendrix spent some time there."
And that anecdote, ladies and germs, is enough to keep them on the overexposed list for at least another three months.

I have heard that Mentor implants are wider and that they feel a little bit harder when touching them and that Allergan Natrelle are more narrow and feel softer. Is this true? I am 5.1ft and 88lbs, BWD of 11cm and I am very thin. Are Allergan Natrelle implants better for me?
Do Mentor Implants Feel Thicker to Touch Than Allergan Natrelle?
Doctor Answers 12
Difference between Mentor and Allergan implants
The different between the two companies products is not discernible . They both make an excellent product and stand behind their products with an outstanding warranty. The more important factor would be the surgeon you choose. I use both products and do not have a bias of one over the other.
Breast Implant Manufacturer?
Thank you for the question
I have not found a difference in "softness" of breast implants from either company. Based on your description of body type silicone gel implants may be preferable.
Much more important than selecting a breast implant manufacturer will be selecting a plastic surgeon who you feel confident will achieve your results.
Best wishes.

Brand Of Breast Implants Does Not Affect How They Feel
Despite the marketing efforts of both companies to claim some advantages for their breast implant products, there is not discernible differences between them as a plastic surgeon. And most certainly there are no feel differences between from a patient's perspective. Both companies offer high-quality breast implant products.

Implant Brand
As long as you are using a round smooth implant, which I recommend for just about everyone and do not think there is much if any difference between the manufacturers. I use predominately Allergan implants, primarily because of the excellent service I get from their representative. Years ago Mentor's warranty was not as good but they are essentially the same now.
Gary Hall,MD
Mentor and Allergan gels feel much the same
Each company makes a full line of sizes both in projection and diameter. We use both implants in our office, and we checked both side by side. Our staff could not tell a difference in softness. You should feel very confident with either implant, the Mentor or the Natrelle.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Implants for breasts
I do not think that there is a real difference between the Allergan and Mentor implants. Sure they have slightly different shapes and sizes but in general they are very similar.
They are the same to touch and feel
I am not sure how rumors about thses types of things get passed on but I use both of these implants and outside and inside the body I cannot tell the difference. If you are as thin as you describe you will feel the outer shell a little bit with both companiy's implants. That being ssid these are far better for a natural feel than any saline implant made.
Which Brand of Breast Implants Are Best?
I have used both Inamed and Mentor Implants for years. They both make an excellent product, provide a good warranty that they stand by, and provide good service. As Dr. Pensler mentioned, there are many variables that contribute to the way an implant feels, but brand is simply not one of them. Be very selective about how you pick your surgeon and go with the implant brand your surgeon chooses.

Implant feel
There are multiple types and shapes of implants .There are low,moderate ,moderate plus,high ,ultrahigh implants with different dimensions that ultimately effect shape and feel.With respect to the two companies I am certain each one says their implants feel best,to my touch its not possible to sort out all of the variables.

Breast Implant Choices
The difference in the two breast implants are so subtle and do not give one a greater advantage over the other. The most important decision the patient has to make is in choosing her plastic surgeon and the size of the implants to be used. Consult with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your desired look and the different Breast Augmentation options to help you achieve that look. - Dr. Salzhauer
