The 'Lost' Council of Nerds
**Ana Marie Cox: **Hated it. Besides knowing there are 6 candidates left and a little more about Richard, what did we learn? Nothing!
And Ben wasn't really interesting in either timeline and slo-mo reunion on the beach belonged in a Nicholas Sparks adaptation.
**Dan Fierman: **This one didn't provoke nearly this strong of a reaction for me. There were definitely groaner moments: Miles' Keanu-esque "Woah" reaction shot. Another episode of Richard's-unintentionally-hilarious-out-of-nowhere-in-the-jungle theater. And, as AMC so astutely points out, the beach. (Has any show ever been THIS in love with its own mythology?) But I've come to the conclusion that I honestly don't care about this stuff much anymore. I think VERGE friend Chuck Klosterman said this on a recent Bill Simmons podcast (and I'm paraphrasing here, so apologies if I butcher his surely smarter formulation), but I've reached the point where I'm happy to sit back, be baffled, and be entertained by this show. It's now a question of whether I'm entertained or not, and by those standards, I didn't have a lot to complain about. At this point, I get far more angry when it's about the characters I don't care about or the plot doesn't move. And last night cleared both bars easily for me.
Also: I think it's a stretch to say we learned "nothing". We now know for sure that:
—Not only are there six candidates, they were chosen to replace Jacob. (Sorry Doc J, yesterday's wacky theory was wrong.)
—Jacob's touch imparts some kind of gift, and that gift in the case of Richard was neverending life.
—Richard came over on the Black Rock.
—Widmore is the "person who is coming to the Island" that Hurley had to help clear the way for.
—And, most importantly, what the final rosters of Team Good and Team Evil are, with the exception of Kate, who I have a sickening feeling is going to have a major role to play in the end-game of this show.
That's all real info. I was with it.
If I had to bitch—and that's what we do here, right?—I'd say that the flash-sideways segments are moving in an extremely cumbersome direction. I wonder if you pinned down Darleton and shot them full of sodium pentathol whether they'd admit that their fealty to the flash back/time travel/sideways storytelling structure turned into a limitation by the very end. Because I don't know about you guys, but for me, every time we left the Island, the air hissed right out of that episode.
Kevin Sintumuang: I did not hate this episode as much as the last one, but, here are my bitchy 2 cents regarding the flash sideways:
Earth 2 Dr. Linus plot was DUMB. Deciding whether or not to report whether the principal was banging the school nurse? It felt like a cross between a bad porno and an afterschool special.
**Ana: **The whole episode improved enormously if you keep in mind the Arrested Development meanings of "Linus" and "Charlie Brown."
Alex Pappademas: Poor Dr. Linus. He tries to be a serious man...
So here's something interesting: I liked this episode.
I thought Ilana forcing Ben to dig his own grave because he killed her God was a perfectly Twilight Zone-ish scenario. I thought casting William Atherton, who's in the Movie Jerk Hall of Fame for playing both dickless EPA administrator Walter Peck in Ghostbusters and the A-hole TV journalist in Die Hard—as Ben's creepy boss was genius. And I loved Miles' offhand delivery of the Nikki and Paolo callback—"a couple of jabronis who got buried alive with eight million dollars in diamonds right on top of 'em." (Never enough Miles. I'm psyched for the Terry O'Quinn/Michael Emerson private-eye show if it happens, but what I really want is a spinoff about Miles figuring out where dead people left their gold. Make it happen, ABC!)
I didn't even mind the flash-sideways. The thing I've always about the flash-whenevers is that when they work, they're an opportunity for the show to do little cover-band takes on other genres—crime/revenge, medical drama, nighttime soap, and so on. It's the show dreaming for twenty minutes about what it would be like to be a different show. So even if there were a few forced Your Moment of Irony lines—"You really had me fooled with that sweater-vest, Linus—you're a real killer!"—I still enjoyed the Election scenario, with Ben Linus trying to pull the same Jedi mind tricks on the science teacher that we've seen him pull successfully on the island twenty times. And I kinda loved that the science teacher forces Ben to 'fess up about what his actual goal is before agreeing to help him; it's maybe the first time in Lost history that someone's refused to do something until they're told why they're being asked to do it.
But you're right, Dan, or your paraphrase of Chuck is: You kinda have to let go of certain things in order to not be driven crazy by this show. I've been complaining about the show's Just Anything But The Facts Ma'am approach to dialogue in these conversations, how every time a character braces another character and demands answers, they either don't ask the right questions or walk away as if satisfied after the other person gives up a few scraps of useless information. But I give up. People walking out of the jungle, delivering gnomic non-explanations designed to keep other people (and us) in the dark—it's the grammar of the show, and bitching about it is like bitching about House using too many "doctor words."
THAT BEING SAID #1: A couple hours before last night's episode aired, Colson Whitehead said this on Twitter: "Tonite on #LOST: 'Do this.' 'Tell me why.' 'I'll tell you after you do it.' Later: 'Okay, tell me.' 'Run! Smoke Monster!'" Thought about that Tweet during the Richard/Hurley exchange—"Where did you come from?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "Try me." "Not yet."
THAT BEING SAID #2: The Jack-lights-the-dynamite-for-Richard scene, while easily the most badass Matthew Fox moment in holy Jesus it's been so long I can't even think of another one to cite, was super-cool going into the commercial break and ended up super-stupid when Jack did all the talking. Alpert might as well have been Deandre Cole's third guest on WHAT'S UP WITH THAT for all the information he got to impart.
Oh, and I didn't hate the reunion scene, either. Sure, they milked it—the handshakes, that same bit of heart-tugging Giacchino music they've used every other time they've done a scene like this, etc.—but there's a finite number of riffs a TV show can play (I don't have it near me right now, but in an essay about Perry Mason in his book Air Guitar, the art critic Dave Hickey quotes some other scholar as saying that basically every plot boils down to "The family is threatened; the family is reunited") and honestly I get a little not-unpleasant twinge of Season 1 nostalgia just seeing somebody building a lean-to out of tarp and airplane parts. I thought Vincent was going to run out of the jungle for a minute there. Besides—I've always felt like more than anything this was a show about ad-hoc communities (microcosmic mini-Americas, basically) forming and arguing about things and defending themselves from outsiders and dissolving, from the original beach camp to the Tailies to New Otherton, so at this point there's a resonance for me anytime we see the castaways reconstituted as a group. And here I will grudgingly admit that yes, it is indeed going all The Stand on us, what with Locke's armies massing on the other side of the island—I guess the Hydra Station is like Vegas.
Let's talk about Widmore on the sub and Leonard Cohen in the teaser. In the words of Silvio Dante, I thought I was ouuuuut....
Ana: Ugh. I'm on my iPhone so I cannot respond at the length I'd like but since Alex mentioned the "digging his own grave thing," I have to point how monumentally stupid a plot point it was. It may even be stupider than the principal Ben tried to blackmail, who apparently doesn't realize that those emails will be JUST as incriminating after Alex is accepted at Yale.
But Ben is an idiot too, because what's the first thing you do to someone who gets you to dig your own grave by threatening to kill you? You refuse to do it. Watching Ben do this pointless task, I kept thinking: "Why would anyone spend the last few hours—and, truly, the finished grave would have held Hurley—sweaty, sore, tired and doing someone else's bidding?I'd tell her to dig her own fucking grave, I'd like to spend my final moments on the beach. What she gonna do, shoot me?"
I imagine the whole grave bit was a riff on the "free will vs destiny" theme (can we have an acronym for that, stat?). BUT if Ben digging his own grave represents destiny and Ilyana's decision to let him live free will, I honestly think they'd have saved Emerson a lot of time (which I'd give to badass New Jack, who is becoming a favorite) by having him defy destiny by, again, simply refusing to dig the fucking grave.
**Dan: **Eh, that didn't bother me that much. I sort of filed under the general heading of: "If I were in that situation, I would do anything that could potentially prolong my life long enough for an evil smoke monster or something to come out of the woods and offer me an out." Though I do think that in terms of Free Will, it's now clear that both F-Locke and Jacob are equal meddlers. I mean, it doesn't get much more meddlesome than "This is how to escape, and, oh, by the way, I left a gun for you."
I did have one thought about the Flash Sideways thing this morning and I'm curious for your guys take on it. Tons of internet nerds like us have been saying that this could actually be the end of the show: Read, it all gets rebooted and this is where our main characters end up. But I'm wondering if instead this off-island life is some kind of test, or maybe just a reveal of their true character. (To use a Doganism: Where they fall on the good/evil scale.) Sayid killed a bunch of people and ends up going to the dark side. Ben makes the right choice and ends up on the light. (Ditto Jack. Ditto Claire.) If Ben HAD blackmailed the principal, would he be on Locke's side right now? I think so.
**Alex: **You're right, Ana. there was a hole in that blackmail plot that you could have driven a Dharma van through. I didn't pick up on that. Clearly I would suck at counterblackmail.
(Reviving the history club vs. "saving Latin." Discuss.)
But c'mon—of course he dug the grave. Ben's obviously a "where there's life, there's hope (of manipulating people into doing what I want them to do)" kind of guy. He's always working an angle, and he'll do anything to survive. So the decision to dig (and to dig it deep enough to plant a hot tub in) seemed totally in character to me.
I know this sounds like I'm angling for the Lost equivalent of a No-Prize, but I feel like he dug the grave because there was a chance something would happen to change the situation while he was digging it—either he felt confident on some level that if given the chance, he'd be able to talk Ilana out of killing him, or he thought there was a possibility that SmokeyLocke would show up to spring him. And he was right, on both counts.
PS. Wholeheartedly support "FWvD" as shorthand in these conversations, although I feel the time-honored "YHGTBFKM" will continue to come in handy as well.
**Kevin: **I put a lot of morbid thought into Ben digging his own grave as well. Like Dan, I'd probably shovel very slowly to buy some time. Heck, I'd even ask for a bathroom break or a piece of mango. What bothered me more was when Ilyana goes after him in the jungle, there are clearly times he could have shot him, but she didn't. But I'll just chalk that up to sloppy shot selection/editing.
About the Flash Sideways being The Ending. It's an interesting idea that the character's actions on Earth 2 can effect their lives in Earth 1. The stories are clearly edited that way to make us think that. Whether that's the ultimate ending? I could see the show wrapping up in such a way where there's no merging of the two worlds, but I would hope it goes beyond the simple fact that there are repercussions for every action that you take. Because I learned that in kindergarten.
I loved the evil periscope emerging from the water, breaking up (for the viewer) the slo-mo beach reunion, which I have to admit, while that beach scene was schmaltzy, it did bring a little tear to the eye because that's probably the last time we're going to see them happy on the beach gathering mangoes and shit.
Things I also loved: Jack fucking with destiny with the stick of dynamite. He's always been the dude who believes in free will and in this single moment it's almost like he's hacked into destiny's operating system to his own advantage. Couldn't help but think of the exchange from season one: Jack—"I don't believe in destiny." Locke—"Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet." I think he Jack might believe in a certain type of destiny—one where he's not meant to be blown up. I'm looking forward to Destiny Jack taking on Team Evil with the idea in his head that he's kind of invincible.
Back to Widmore—how do you guys think he's going to fit in the two alliances now developing on the island?
Alex: Not sure. Another random thing I was thinking about last night, which sort of ties in with what I was saying earlier about Lost as a TV show that tries on every TV genre: In a lot of ways, Lost is basically Survivor as a scripted drama (island, jungle, tribes, challenges, canteens, etc.) and this is the most reality-ish season to date. Six candidates—just like The Apprentice! Someone's going to get picked! A few people will, undoubtedly, be eliminated! Congratulations, everybody who didn't die this week—you're still in the running towards becoming AMERICA'S NEXT TOP OMNIPOTENT ISLAND-PROTECTOR.
(When I interviewed Lindelof last year, he pointed out, astutely, that while Lost gets knocked all the time for storytelling so serialized it borders on incomprehensible, reality shows are still the most backstory-dependent TV on the air: "There's no show more heavily serialized than American Idol.")
Yeah. I don't think the flash-sideways world is where it ends, and I don't think its provenance is as simple as "This is what would have happened if the plane never crashed," either.
I was thinking for a while that it was some kind of a wish-fulfillment world, where everybody gets what they've always wanted and then has to deal with the consequences of getting it—like Ben gets to have a relationship with Alex, Jack gets to conquer his daddy issues and so on. (This might be too nerdy even for this Council, but Brian Michael Bendis did a story like this a couple years ago in comics, in a miniseries called HOUSE OF M-- the Scarlet Witch goes crazy and uses her reality-altering powers to remake the world according to everyone's deepest wish, so Magneto's the king, Wolverine's able to remember his past for the first time, etc.)
I like the "this is only a test" explanation. Ben helping Alex with test prep might have been a nod to that.
Follow-up question that no one will be able to answer: We've seen Jacob visit the castaways in the past. Does Fake Locke have that same ability? Was that supposed to be regular John Locke in the faculty lounge, or SmokeyLocke showing up to nudge Ben toward the Dark Side?
**Ana: ** After I wrote this, I realized this is same Ben who, in a similar kind of face-off that not digging would create, didn't hesitate to (have someone else) pull the trigger. So, whereas in my fantasy, I say "Fuck you, I won't dig," and Ilyana hesitates and considers whether she REALLY wants to shoot me or not and maybe winds up neither making me dig NOR shooting me, in Ben's mind she just goes ahead and shoots him, hole or no hole. He is, after all, the Destiny guy.
So what's the name for badass Island Jack, btw? Jock? Fack?
Kevin: Personally, I like "Badass Island Jack" or "The Notorious B.I.J."
Dan: NICE, MONGER!
OK. We should start wrapping this up, but I actually have a theory on what Alex was talking about:
I think that when all is said and done, we'll learn that Ben has been the victim of a long con by the MiB. We know that at least once he went to the cabin to speak to "Jacob" and instead spoke to some manifestation of Christian, who I assume is Smokey. (All "ghosts" are smokey so far, right?) Just the fact that he was going to the cabin at all—which seems to have been a MiB prison, what with the ring of ash around it—would seem to indicate that he didn't have anywhere near the relationship with Jacob he thought he did. He thought he was running things for Jacob. He was really running things for the MiB.
Which is a long way of saying, Yeah there are Job parallels to Ben's story. But there are also Sawyer parallels. And it allows for his redemption at the end, because if what we learned last night is that Ben, while troubled, is a good man at heart, being fooled by the Big Bad allows him to be redeemed, at least partly, at the end.

- Nazi Literature in the Americas by Roberto Bolaño, translated by Chris Andrews
New Directions, 227 pp, £17.95, May 2008, ISBN 978 0 8112 1705 7
- 2666 by Roberto Bolaño, translated by Natasha Wimmer
Picador, 898 pp, £20.00, January 2009, ISBN 978 0 330 44742 3
Roberto Bolaño likes to prolong his jokes well past the moment when even the slowest reader has got the point. Nazi Literature in the Americas, for example, looks like a single gag – the brief deadpan biography of an imaginary Fascist or near Fascist writer – multiplied by 30-odd cases over 200 pages. But then it dawns on even the slowest reader that what looked like the point wasn't the point; and that the jokes were not only jokes. This book is not a satirical attack on the right-wing imagination in North and South America: it is a darkly comic celebration of the wilder horizons of writing, good, plodding, lunatic and terrible.
What is compelling about these portraits is not their plausibility, which is slender and intermittent, but their profusion and variety. Here are socialites, adventurers, psychopaths, thugs and dreamers, united in a single obsession: literature. They all write, in the romantic, non-clerical sense of the word. And what's frightening about the portraits is that the right-wing here is clearly, for Bolaño, a mirror image of the left. It's not that the politics don't make a difference. They make all the difference. But they may be the only difference there is to make, and the sheer intensity of the parallel investment in writing becomes all the more troubling. Literature on both sides – there probably isn't any literature in the centre, at least in Bolaño's view – is delusion, disease. It could also be the cure for that condition, but we don't know that yet, and if it isn't the cure, there is no other.
It takes a while for the above-mentioned slowest reader, myself in this instance, to realise that there is something strange about the imaginary dating in this book. The actual years of publication of Nazi Literature in the Americas were 1996 in Spanish and 2008 in English. All the writers described are dead, and the 30 principal cases are followed by a list of 61 'secondary figures', also dead. They were born in Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Caracas, Port-au-Prince, Los Angeles, Topeka, Pittsburgh, all over the continent; and they died across an even greater geographical range, from New York to Paris or Berlin, and from Cordova to Kampala and Rio. One of them, 'the infamous Ramírez Hoffman', was born in Santiago de Chile in 1950, three years before Bolaño, and like Bolaño later lived in Lloret del Mar in Spain. He died in 1998, while Bolaño died in 2003; and he was the vicious madman that Bolaño perhaps thought he himself could have been. The curious thing, though, is that although all of the characters in the book are dead, they are not all dead yet, either in 1996 or 2009. Some have death dates of 2017, or 2029, and one of them dies as late as 2040. None of them reaches 2666, the title time of Bolaño's last novel, but we do see the post-dating device at work. This book knows the future and is glancing backwards from an even further future.
The Nazi writers aren't all Nazis, some were just fond of their old photographs of Hitler or keen on Nazi uniforms or inclined to blame the Jews for everything. Others managed to die in Berlin in 1945 or write sagas about the Fourth Reich, or found organisations like the Aryan Brotherhood. This doesn't sound like great material for comedy, but Bolaño's mournful inventiveness can make you laugh out loud. I was particularly drawn to one figure in Zach Sodenstern's Gunther O'Connell saga, 'a mutant, stray German Shepherd with telepathic powers and Nazi tendencies'. 'He tried desperately to make friends,' we hear of a literary editor, 'but enemies were all he ever had.' The Duchess of Bahamontes was 'a fine gardener in her old age'. The last work of an Argentinian football fan turned writer 'contains historical inaccuracies, which may, however, be deranged metaphors for truths of another kind'. What are we to say of the career of the Texan convict who 'dabbled in a broad range of delinquent activities without developing a particular specialty'? Or of the even sadder trajectory of Luiz Fontaine de Souza, a Brazilian philosopher who started out by publishing a massive refutation of Voltaire, went on to write sizeable separate books refuting Diderot, D'Alembert, Montesquieu and Rousseau respectively, and finally managed to get into one hefty volume a refutation of Hegel, Marx and Feuerbach?

A Bunch Of Friends Created An Animation Series And Here It Is
Community member
My name is Stela and I'd like to bring something unique to your panda attention, since you are connoisseurs of creativity and meaningful images.
A bunch of my friends happen to be very talented. One of them had a brilliant idea and something very genuine and entertaining was born. It's called "The Golden Apple" series and with your help it can become a reality.
Here is a summary of the story: "In a vast mountain world, where the ancient spirits walk the forests and the Kuker warriors protect the humans from evil, we meet Vihra. She is a headstrong 14-year-old girl, whose hair is a cloud and changes with her mood. Vihra is the daughter of Vulkan Zmei – a powerful storm spirit, and a human – the mayor of the industrious city of Khan.
When war is about to break out in her hometown between humans and spirits, Vihra sneaks out to find the golden apple and use it's magical powers to restore the peace and save her family.
She is joined by Vlad and Bran – two brothers who dream of becoming Kuker warriors, and need the magical apple to restore the lost Kuker guide (a book, holding the secrets of all Kuker magic), and Tina – a young samodiva nymph, with an angelic voice and a mischievous personality, who wants to escape the small world of the forest, she has never before left.
They are not the only ones looking for the apple though. Will they find before it is too late?"

Tina is a young mischievous nymph. Don't let her angelic voice fool you
This is Vihra. She is half-human, half-spirit and has a cloud instead of hair. Don't make her angry, if you are not a fan of lightnings
Brothers Vlad and Bran are Kuker warriors. Don't mess with them as well
A magical adventure awaits

I am so ridiculously happy it's Friday. It's been a pretty rough (read: frustrating) week. Just one of those weeks when not much seems to go right–the amazon delivery I was so excited for is somehow stuck at the postal facility (even though it says it was delivered), I've continued battling this cold, which halted my strength training workouts, I haven't been eating the best (mainly because the cold's throwing off my appetite) and I've been waiting to hear from a few people for awhile now, and still haven't heard from them. SO. FRUSTRATING.
Okay, vent sesh basically over.
On the flippity-dippity side, I spent last weekend bedridden, so I'm planning on making this an "inspiring" weekend.
Hopefully Amazon will deliver my books (or I'll just pick up the The Goldfinch again), and I can just read, take long walks and do this two day juice cleanse. Sunday, I'm hoping to meet up with a friend who I haven't seen since my wedding (and now she's getting married!). Then Ryan comes back Monday and we're picking up the keys to our new place.
Good things, good things.
Just need to get through today.
It's probably a little odd that I'm sharing this delicious homemade enchiladas recipe while I'm in the midst of a juice cleanse, but how could I not share? These enchiladas are insane.
My mom used to make them for us when we were little. And recently, randomly, I started craving them again. So, I got her to email me the recipe and then I altered a few of the ingredients to make them a tad healthier.
For someone who has little to no experience cooking ground beef, I'd say I did a pretty damn good job. Which means, you can do a pretty damn good job.
A few random notes: I recommend using lean, grass-fed beef to make the healthiest possible enchiladas. But, remember to cook the lean beef in a bit of olive oil (because it's so lean, it might be lacking in the fats and oils that help it naturally cook).
Also, add more enchilada sauce if you want softer enchiladas (and less sauce if you want them a bit crispier). And finally, I highly recommend Ezekiel tortillas (found mine at Whole Foods). Definitely made me feel guiltless about chowing down.
- 1 can enchilada sauce (Old ElPaso - medium)
- 1 can refried beans (I use fat free)
- 1 pound hamburger (I use 90% lean, grass-fed beef)
- tortillas (10-small or 6 large)
- cumin
- salt and pepper
- chopped onions
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to at 350°.
- Brown hamburger (if you're using lean beef, brown in a bit of olive oil).
- Drain.
- Mix salt, pepper, cumin, onion and refried beans to hamburger.
- Warm tortillas in oven or microwave.
- Divide hamburger mixture into 10 (or 6) sections.
- Fill tortillas with hamburger mixture.
- Add cheese if preferred.
- Lay folded tortillas, folded side down, in dish or cake pan.
- Pour enchilada sauce over top of enchiladas (more enchilada sauce means softer tacos).
- Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese over tortillas.
- Bake for 30 minutes.

DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co (GM.N) said on Friday it was recalling about 370,000 of its redesigned full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks globally to reprogram software that could cause parts of the exhaust to overheat and lead to fire.
GM said eight fires had been caused by the problem, but there were no injuries. The company said all of the fires had occurred in very cold places, and it urged customers to avoid leaving trucks idling unattended.
The No. 1 U.S. automaker said the recall included 2014 model trucks with 4.3 liter and 5.3 liter engines in the United States, Canada, Mexico and other markets. Trucks with 6.2 liter engines were not being recalled.
GM said signs of the problem were a continuous yellow "check engine light" and an "engine power reduced" message in the driver information center.
It said recall letters would be mailed next Thursday, but customers could contact dealers for appointments beginning early next week. It said the repair would take about 20 minutes.
Of the trucks recalled, about 303,813 are in the United States, about 26,000 in Canada, about 665 in Mexico and about 7,753 in export markets, said company spokesman Alan Adler.
Adler said all the numbers were preliminary and that as of late Friday the total number of vehicles being recalled was 370,000.
( This version of the story was corrected by the company to show about 26,000 trucks were recalled in Canada instead of 57,769 and adds last paragraph to show numbers are preliminary, total as of late Friday.)

Most people don't fully trust the financial industry or Financial Advisors. (See our "People Don't Trust You" post) This is their worldview, their bias that focuses on bad experiences, bad news. This is what makes it extremely difficult for Financial Advisors to get prospects and clients to listen and open up. And yet, most Financial Advisors fail to effectively address this bias. As a result, they fail to make solid, meaningful connections with their prospects and clients.
Successfully addressing this worldview begins when you craft and tell your marketing story. A marketing story is very different from garden variety storytelling. It is told in an "other focused" way, a way that addresses what's important to your prospects and your clients – not to you. It's not about your numbers, facts and figures. And it's not telling them what you think they want to hear. That will just shut them down, they won't listen.
The most important difference between a marketing story and simple storytelling is that a great marketing story is not designed to win business. Instead, it's intended to convey who you are, not just what you do. Not just some of the time, all the time. It effectively addresses biases and puts you in sync with your clients.
Creating and sharing a great marketing story is the foundation for meaningful business growth. It's absolutely imperative that you get it right. When it's right you are a standout. When it isn't you're invisible.

I'm on day 2 of work after being off for 12 days. I am unsure about you but boy is it ever hard to get motivated. I find myself thinking about ways to never work again. The only solution I can come up with is winning the lotto max or 6/49 and living the life of leisure, however, who knows if that will ever happen so back to work I go and try to find my motivation. Thankfully, my job doesn't require me to stay late or be in the office very early, so really I should not be complaining.
Last night I had dinner with my friend, for old-time sake we went to one of our back in the day favorite lounge. Back then it was the perfect spot to sit back enjoy a nice martini or glass of wine, and watch all the cougar try to pick up the young lawyers walking through the doors. After being closed for renovations for quite some time they had just opened up, so we decided to check out our favorite spot and see if it still had that magic touch. The atmosphere was the same, same people still hanging out there 7 years later; except, the decor was much better than before and the service seems a bit better as well. The food, on the other hand, was mediocre now. There was nothing great about it! It didn't leave me with much of an impression to go back on. Being the foodie that I am, I think giving out sausages with cheese dip on a fancy platter really doesn't call for a $19.00 price range. I can just wait till stampede and get that for $5.00. But they did have something on their platter that inspired me to go home and cook. Again another sign of the food not being so magnificent, is going home to eat after you just spent a lot of money on what they call "food". All in all the company was great, and it's always great to catch up with friends no matter where you are.
The restaurant had focaccia bread as part of their platter. It was a bit dry but still tasty. I figured it can't be that hard to make bread. When I got home, I looked up a few recipes to make bread. Now before I continue, I must say, I have tried in the past to make bread, and it never comes out right, always hard, dry or the dough didn't rise properly. Thankfully I married someone who is a rock star when it comes to making bread. There are very few men I know out there that make bread, but I got lucky found one that can (this made my mother happy I think). So after looking up a few recipes, I found one on Pinterest (surprise, surprise)…but it wasn't focaccia bread, it was Parmesan cheese, pull apart bread. I thought for sure this might be a little much for me as I am not the best at making bread. But to my surprise it came out fantastic. Just goes to show, never doubt yourself on what you can do. Just because it turns out bad a few times, doesn't mean you destined to never do that again, just means you need to keep at it. I now think my hubby may have some competition in the kitchen when it comes to making bread.
You can pretty much find this recipe anywhere on the internet, or make your own version of this bread. I think next time I make it I might add black olives and oregano to it. This is the easiest and most enjoyable bread you will make. Not only that, but isn't fresh bread always better, plus it just melts in our mouth. There is nothing like the smell and taste of fresh bread right out of the oven. Serve hot and enjoy!!
Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread (source, Gourmet Italian Foods)
(Yields 1 loaf)
For the bread:
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups barely warm water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all purpose (or bread) flour
For the mixture:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast and water, I also add in a little sugar to the yeast mixture, just a sprinkle. Let sit for 5 – 6 minutes until yeast is foamy.
Mix in the olive oil, salt, and flour. If you have a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead the dough for 5-6 minutes, or until elastic. If you are doing this by hand, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until dough is elastic, 7-10 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until dough is doubled in size.
Punch down the dough. Tear off small pieces of dough (roughly the size of the bowl of a medium spoon), coat in the butter mixture, and place in the bottom of a bundt pan ( I used a loaf pan instead). Repeat this process until you have one layer of dough balls. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Continue layering the dough balls and cheese until you have enough layers. Cover the pan with a clean towel and allow to sit until dough has doubled in size, 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook bread for 25-30 min or until golden on the top.

This past weekend I awoke on Saturday morning hoping to soak the deck in Australian Timber oil to protect the beautiful cedar boards so I can get our patio furniture out and I can enjoy the warm weather, if it ever comes this year.
It has to, I presume, because the local farmers have all spread manure on their fields and that is a sure sign that spring has sprung. But the only liquid soaking the cedar was from natural resources – rain, that is.
So, I'm moping around the house getting under my better half's skin as she's trying to study and I'm trying to have a conversation. So, I was politely told to go do something, go to a winery or something. Well, I don't need to be prodded to visit a winery. So, I logged on the computer to see where I wanted to go and found a new winery I had not heard of yet.
Preston Ridge Vineyard opened last October but I was unaware as I had already turned in my CT Passport (no, I didn't win) and was pretty much done for the wine season. Seeing as the vineyard was only 8-9 miles away, I figured what the heck and I gathered my keys to the car and hit the road. It didn't take long and I was soon at the vineyard.
After heading down the entrance the tasting room came into view and there were only about five cars in the parking lot and the building seemed to be fairly large so I was excited about visiting a new winery.
Upon entering the wine bar is just to the right of the entrance. This is where I met Steve and Ann, the owners, and where I began my wine tasting.
But not before I noticed the 144 bottle wine rack to the right of the wine bar. I have to get one of these wine racks.
I started my wine tasting with their 2011 Fieldstone White which is a blend of Cayuga grapes and it opened with peachy and citrusy notes both on the nose and the palate. Although it wasn't a real warm day I could envision sipping this on a warm sunny afternoon out on the deck that is, if I ever get the Australian Timber oil on it.
Next up was the 2011 Chardonnay which had peach, apple, and pear aromas and as this was chilled to just about the right temperature the flavor was similar to the aromas as my palate found this to be clean and crisp. As many of you know I am not a real big Chardonnay drinker but I liked this one. On their tasting menu were two other Chardonnays of similar aromas and tastes, however the 2011 Chardonnay Reserve had a real buttery finish on the palate and the 2011 Chardonnay Premier Cellar Reserve finished with vanilla notes on the back palate.
Next up was the 2011 Zundell Farm Rose which was light and refreshing and reminded me of strawberry shortcake sans the cake but with the creamy topping. Again, another good summer sipping wine. This would probably go well with a cheese and fruit tray.
Now I was on to their reds and the first one was the 2011 Cabernet Franc which is one of my favorite reds – actually, reds are my favorites in general. This didn't disappoint as jammy red raspberry, red currant, and red cherry flavors were plentiful with a slight peppery finish.
Then I tried the 2011 Estate Cabernet Franc and I found much the same as the previous Cabernet Franc but detected hints of plum with the same slight peppery finish. The the last wine on the wine list was the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon which consisted more of the black berry fruits of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, currant with hints of earth and leather.
Well, I thought this was the end of the wine list but Steve and Ann had a few more surprises. I was treated to a few barrel tastings (these are some of my favorite things) and was quite surprised to be offered a couple of Rieslings which weren't even on the tasting menu. I couldn't tell you specifically what the two were but the aromas and flavors were of peach, honeysuckle, and pear with slight hints of green apple. Clean, crisp and wonderful, however these won't get bottled until the fall but worth the wait if you're a Riesling drinker.
The last one was a Cabernet Franc. I really liked this one and it will be bottled in the winter which was a surprise to me as it tasted perfect. I'll definitely be back to taste this one again when it's ready. Bet you're wondering what the aromas and flavors of the barrel Cabernet Franc – oohhh, you're going to have to visit the winery and hope they bring some of this up to the tasting room to experience the nuances of this wine.
When I was leaving I took this picture and I'm not sure what this is but I'd love to turn that into a bocce ball court.
Now this is the way to do a wine tour!

Ann Coulter: Whoreable Behavior
Excerpt:Â This is a disaster for Hillary Clinton. According to the wiretaps, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was delighted to be getting the prostitute "Kristen" again. At least he knew her name. It took Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend six sexual encounters to remember her name (raising his lifetime average to 8.2).
You know that queasy feeling you get thinking about Bill Clinton back in the White House again? Now you remember why. Hillary Clinton couldn't feel worse about the Spitzer case if she were an actual New Yorker.
Proving that Karl Marx got everything wrong – more bad news for Hillary – history is indeed repeating itself, but, contra Marx, the first time as farce, the second time as tragedy. Clinton's scandal was hilarious; Spitzer's is just depressing.

Then I got to pick up a movie that I've long regretted missing out on, by virtue of it apparently being a recommended reference piece for the latest in quality surround sound.[1] I would never have been so obsessed with seeing Prometheus if I had not known about its connection into the Alien mythos, a series with which I am quite obsessed indeed. I find it ironic, therefore, that the huge failing of the movie is that Ridley Scott thought he could make a science fiction movie by drawing so strongly on the same elements that made Alien one of the best horror movies of all time.
See, there are these archaeologists, and they have found evidence in the records of a dozen ancient cultures that aliens were once among us. Better yet, they found a map. Off they go (courtesy of the Weyland Corporation, its Yutani partnership still in the murky future) to meet said aliens and see what can be learned from them or their remains. (After all, it's been a while since anyone has heard from them.) And then… well, the problem I have here is that the only thing that compelled me to eschew my usual lack of non-theatrical reviews is how much I want to talk about What Went Wrong. And though I don't plan to lay out the plot detail by detail, the broad strokes of conflict necessary to explain myself are major spoilers for the last third of the movie. Probably nobody is worried about being spoiled for a generally panned film that is also two years old? But just in case, you have been warned.
So, after various trials and tribulations that there's no need to detail, half of the main characters are standing face to face with one of their Progenitors. They have woken him from presumed millennia of cryogenic slumber, they have a robot with enough linguistic knowledge and recent research to speak with him. This is a high level "Are you There, God? It's Me, Margaret" moment in progress here. And then…
Let me come at it from another direction. Science fiction, at its core, is about the betterment of humanity. Depending upon the flavor, it may not always be successful, but we are always striving, seeking answers, reaching beyond ourselves in some way, whether technologically, physically, philosophically, morally, or some combination. And you cannot get more science fictional, I would posit, than going into deep space to learn the fundamental answers of our own genesis.
Horror, at its core, is about the inexplicable. Sometimes we try to impose a cause where no cause exists[2]. Sometimes we just shy away in existential or literal terror at the knowledge that there is no reason to be had. Ridley Scott's Alien was exactly that movie. Some miners on their way home stumble across an old space beacon, accidentally wake up an egg filled with death, and the lone survivor walks away with no answers at all, just bloody destruction.
As you can see, these two genres are fundamentally at odds with each other, in their purest forms. The reason Prometheus is a failure, then, is because Scott pulled a bait-and-switch. Two-thirds of the way through a science fiction movie, the audience is suddenly faced with inexplicable horror and an ending that promises only the lack of answers, even as the film's heroine launches into the uncertain future to continue her off-screen search for them.
Which forces me to wonder if the sequel (2016, IMDB says) will retroactively redeem some portion of this movie?
[1] I suspect this is entirely due to the waterfall scene the flick opens with.
[2] Pamela Voorhees launched a decade of schlock by pretending her murder spree was about teenage drug use and premarital sex instead of blind, flailing denial of her own senseless loss.

This is one of those headlines you couldn't make up: As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch:
At what's believed to be the world's largest cemetery, where Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been, business isn't good.
A drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that's cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.
This goes in Best of the Web's "World's Smallest Violin" category. Via InstaPundit.

Trending In Our News Feeds – It's Earth Day! Today is Earth Day, held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. In honor of the day, environmentalist, climate change author, and founder of 350.org Bill McKibben publishes on PolicyMic on why millennials are the last defense against the disastrous impacts of climate change. He writes, "It turns out that age is the key variable in how concerned most Americans are about global warming. Old people don't… care all that much… They're going to be dead before it really kicks in. Young people care about it more than almost any other issue, because they recognize it's a crucial test of intergenerational ethics." Be sure to Mic and share his article here.

New details emerge on Boston Bombing suspects. Investigators have begun questioning Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev about the existence of other cell members and unexploded bombs. Tsarnaev is in the hospital and remains unable to speak because of a possibly self-inflicted gun wound to the throat, but ABC reports he is awake and responding sporadically to questions in writing. Some new details have emerged in the investigation. Based on the trove of weapons the FBI discovered on the suspects, including five pipe bombs and many guns, authorities believe the Tsarnaev brothers planned to launch more attacks. The suspects reportedly told the driver of the SUV they hijacked that they planned to travel to New York. Officials are increasingly certain that the suspects acted alone, but they are pressing the Russian government for details on a 2011 request to investigate Tamerlan Tasarnaaev for possible terrorist activity.
Boston will observe a moment of silence today at 2:50 p.m. in honor of the victims of the attack. The Washington Post answers the nine questions about the suspects' homeland, Chechnya, that you were too embarrassed to ask.
Ricin suspect to appear in court. Authorities are expected to reveal new evidence today in court against the man accused of sending letters poisoned with ricin to President Obama and Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker. Paul Kevin Curtis' lawyer argued in court Friday that authorities had not collected enough physical evidence to support their charges. An FBI agent admitted that the Bureau had yet to search Curtis' home and car, but tried to link Curtis to the letters based on messages he posted on Facebook.
Obama considering cyber attacks on China. After almost a year of diplomatic discussions in response to Chinese cyber attacks, government officials report that President Obama is considering more assertive measures. Officials claim the President may use trade sanctions, indictments of Chinese nationals, or retaliatory cyber attacks to counteract invasive Chinese cyber hacking.
Protests erupt in India over sexual abuse of children. New Delhi is again embroiled in protests after the rape and torture of a five-year-old girl. The suspect, who goes by the single name "Manoj," will appear in court today. According to a report by the Asian Center for Human Rights, there were 48,338 cases of reported child rape in India from 2001 to 2011. This number doesn't even reflect the true number of child assaults in the country, since most cases go unreported.
Minerva Project announces $500,000 teaching award. An education startup called the Minerva Project announced today that it will begin awarding an annual $500,000 prize to one outstanding professor, beginning next year. The group hopes the prize will provide professors with an incentive to focus on teaching, as well as research. Minerva's founder Ben Nelson declared, "We hope the Minerva Prize will be the Nobel Prize of teaching."

My opinion of gazpacho, for much of my life, was extremely negative. The super-strong flavor that comes from the amalgamation of so many vegetables was just a little too out there for my immature taste buds. But now that I've acquired a taste for an array of new flavors, the fresh, crisp taste of this cold Mexican soup is truly delightful, especially on hot summer days when light, cool flavors are best enjoyed.
I've only tried this recipe once, but when I brought it to the office for lunch, two people tried it, and they both immdiately asked for the recipe — so I guess I didn't fuck up my first try too badly. Anyway, here's my recipe, which is loosely based on one I found in Tastebud Magazine.
- 4 fairly large tomatoes
- 3/4 of a red onion
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 2 cups tomato juice (regular or spicy — your choice)
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt + Pepper to taste
Mince all the solids. Add in the liquids. Stir. Chill. Enjoy.
Oh, and here's a couple of pics. First, gazpacho my way:
And Niki's way:

Only one non-fiction book this week that I discovered in the Netgalley Christmas newsletter. As I am always on the lookout for new crockpot dishes I had to get this one. It is not exclusively vegetarian, but I am sure I can adapt some recipes. I just saw on Goodreads that the author has written tons of other crockpot cookbooks, one of them a veggie one. Maybe something to think about.

It's All About Flavor.....
Hi Folks! Not gonna lie....I'm pretty excited for a multitude of reasons this week. First my Washington Nationals clinched the NL East Division on Tues night in Atlanta...and it was such a sa-weeeet victory. The Dean family has our playoff tickets and we are ready to cheer them on in October!!
Secondly....I've lost 2.5 lbs in past 9 days of seriously working out everyday and watching what I eat. The Lose It app has been a revelation for me to keep track of fat & calories and I haven't had any cravings at all. I feel full and satisfied after every meal or snack. Now just 27.5 lbs left to go...its a long haul but I'm ready to do this! I don't think you can ever get on a healthy path until you are TRULY ready...mind, body & soul or you won't be successful. For me I was beyond ready and excited to be getting healthy again.
Third...I made some French Onion Soup that will rock your world and then some hehehe. It was so good we ate the leftovers for lunches in 2 days...I had to fight my son for a bowl lol. I've been making this soup for years but could never get the depth of flavor I wanted like I've had in other restaurants. And trust me over the years I've probably taste-tested 400 different kinds so I knew what I was after. WELL I DID IT....I had a revelation looking at a recipe I had pinned which called for similar things I used but with an addition...it made all the difference. So I'm sharing with you all today!
Oh and best part....only 80 calories in a bowl...160 calories if you count a slice of low-fat Swiss Cheese and a slice of bread on top. And its filling...can't beat that kind of meal!
French Onion Soup with Flavor Depth
Mmmmmm can you almost smell it....it was sooooo good!
4-5 good sized Vidalia Onions sliced
2 TBS of butter
2-3 cloves of garlic diced/minced
1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup of red wine
1/4 cup of Balsamic Vinegar (this was the difference in flavor folks)
1 TBS of brown sugar
1/2 TBS of Thyme dried powder or use fresh Thyme
Kosher Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste
4 TBS of flour
64 onces of Beef Broth
Bread Slices
Low-Fat Swiss Cheese Slices
I cooked my soup in my Dutch Oven pot but if you aren't going to be home or want to simmer while at work..just follow Dutch Oven instructions in a pot then transfer to a Crock-Pot.
Put your sliced onions, butter, Balsamic Vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, wine and garlic in pot or saute pan and cook till onions start to caramelize on med heat. Add a shake of salt & pepper as they cook too. This can take about 10-15 mins...you want them to cook slowly and not burn...burned onions equal yucky flavor.
**The Balsamic Vinegar made all the difference in the flavor I kid you not!**
Lower heat then add in the flour and stir well and cook for a few more mins. I added another splash of Balsamic Vinegar & Worcestershire Sauce at this point too. I cook to taste & rarely measure so please bear with me lol.
If you sauteed your onions in a pan, transfer them to a large pot and add your beef broth. Stir well and keep on med/low heat. Add your thyme and salt/pepper and simmer covered for at least an hour if not a couple of hours if you can. Or cook on low/warm in Crock-Pot. The longer it simmers the more flavor you create so cook it as long as you can...mine cooked about 5 hours.
Toast your bread/baguette slices, place on top of soup in your bowls...then top with 2 slices of cheese.
Broil in oven for a couple minutes until your cheese starts to bubble. Make sure your bowls are oven proof. I put my bowls on a baking pan so they are easier to remove from the hot oven.
I served my soup with a side of fruit salad to finish off the meal!
Bon Appetit!!!
Soooo yummy!!!
When you have deep flavors in your food you don't miss all the other stuff including fat...makes the eating healthy experience enjoyable!!

3 day hair in the wilderness
26 comments:
Keeping the look AND running your store...amazing.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous21 August 2010 at 21:17
Your hair looks beautiful! (I only wash mine once a week!)ReplyDelete
Gingeyginge - I am glad you said that! I almost feel guilty not having to washing mine much. Though, having been hanging out in the mud for a few days I really needed it.ReplyDelete
Sassy lassie lovely - thank you.
mama, WORK THE HAIR!ReplyDelete
i would look like chaka khan halfway through day one.
love your blog and your style!
Shona I only wash mine about once a week too, us thick haired ladies, don't need to do it that often! Please let the weather be good this coming weekend, however we're cheating we don't have a tent any more so we're at the Premier Inn, don't laugh! We are thinking of investing in a caravan for next year though so we can so more events, we miss the outside ones but paul just can't do tents!ReplyDelete
HI Oona and welcome!ReplyDelete
STM: Yippee - see you at Twinwood! Yes you are cheating but you have more reason to than anyone. We don't have anywhere to store a caravan so for now we are stuck with tents, besides, I probably need a van first - oh the logistics does your head in!
Thank you for this! I'm really lucky as my hair holds curls really well, normally about 5 days (wet set curls only though) so I'm hoping i'll survive at Twinwood! As I'm going alone I only have a small tent, I'm rather alarmed at how much stuff I'm taking and whether it will all fit with me in the tent!ReplyDelete
Anyhoo, I can't wait to actually meet you in person!
Thank you for sharing these tips! I just had a week of balboa dancing and camping (with showers though) which sounded so contradictory up front. I do like camping but never imagined it to combine it with vintage dressing up. And I must say it is quite complicated to remain practical!ReplyDelete
Like you I discovered the blessings of wipes! But I must get your kind of toiletry bag. I lost my temper on rumaging with a torchlight in my baglike bag.
Your hair looks gorgeous. How you manage in damp weather conditions? My curls sag so fast when the air is moist.
Oh I love comments!ReplyDelete
Stefanie - I look forward to meeting you too. Things that stack and are waterproof are ideal,eg: you are better off with your make up in a tupperware container than a fancy bag.
Superheidi - cool name. Yeah damp is hard, if I am still pin curled then I get a scarf on to stop them getting more wet (I have actually been tempted to put my shower cap on once, but pride stopped me thank goodness) My curls tend to drop but only into waves so long as they don't actually get wet, so it can still be vintage-ish.
My fall back is a 50s look with a pony-tail and a false hair piece (I will probably be in that by the time Sunday evening dancing comes by at twinwood) Yes I do actually have a hair piece that matches my Ginger tresses! Dancing and keeping curls is harder work, so I get more inventive with up-dos and hair flowers.
Haha, wearing a showercap in public? Now that would be a way to attract attention. :-DReplyDelete
I'm not so good with a scarf though, I always look like a vintage cleaning lady.
I managed one free afternoon on dancecamp that was ultradry and sunny to get a damp set get some kind of curls for the evening. I relaxed in a hammock with sponge rollers for anyone to see, I kept getting good laughs though. Some little girls couldn't help staring, haha. Gosh, how times have changed, it was such a common sight in my girlie days.
- Anonymous24 August 2010 at 19:41
Hi Shona,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your tips. Your camping environment sounds just like my re-enactment weekends... Cow/sheep fields mostly with a portaloo, and a tap with a hosepipe attached to a fence next to a pool of mud !
I envy anybody with thick hair. Mine is fine and fly-away as is common in Scandinavia. The only way for me to have a lasting curl is to spray it rock hard. That's provided I've managed to curl it in the first place. Sleeping with pins on my head doesn't guarantee a curl with my locks. I've had many a sleepless night for nothing !!
I feel quite stupid now, but what the heck is 'curl cream' ???
Tarja x
Hi Tarja, I should have explained, it is smoothing serum which would stop your hair being fluffy. You put it on once everything is styled and dry.ReplyDelete
All those different vintage looks! - and your hair looks wonderful no matter what you do. Wish I had all that lovely red hair. Thanks for all the great ideas!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I stumbled across your blog again today. I somehow forgot to add you to my blogroll when I first discovered your blog a month or two ago, and I've been missing out on all your great posts! I have some catch-up to do.
That's fabulous! Great tips.ReplyDelete
My top tip is taking the time before I go to sleep to put my hair back in big chunky barrel curls/pin curls and wrap a scarf round it. I can do it without a mirror in a tent! My hair is fine so it makes the curls last longer.
Just fantastic Shona,well done!!Great tips.ReplyDelete
You must be one of the most glamorous campers in the world:D
Love the new header pic! Gosh, Shona, how insensitive to rub your gorgeous hair in the face of those of us who have hardly any hair at all! ;)ReplyDelete
Oh Peter, but I don't have your legs darlingReplyDelete
Really great post Shona! I must get round to buying a hair net, as my hair just never makes it through the night!ReplyDelete
Some great tips. I find pining up the curls each night and a headscarf when I go to sleep plus ton of hairspray usually makes hairdos last as long as I can maintain them. Despite having naturally fine greasy hair.ReplyDelete
Blogging is the new poetry. I find it wonderful and amazing in many ways.ReplyDelete
Hey keep posting such good and meaningful articles.ReplyDelete
I certainly agree to some points that you have discussed on this post. I appreciate that you have shared some reliable tips on this review.ReplyDelete
Amazing blog and very interesting stuff you got here! I definitely learned a lot from reading through some of your earlier posts as well and decided to drop a comment on this one!ReplyDelete
Hi, Really great effort. Everyone must read this article. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Everybody wants to look physically great from top to toe. This includes the hair - a person's crowning glory. For individuals who suffer from a nightmare called hair loss, biotin Hair growth products can provide the solution.ReplyDelete
When you want to grow long beautiful hair that is both healthy and strong, do you really need to use Hair growth products? While there are plenty on the market that are all natural and cost effective, following a few tips you can do at home can ensure you have long beautiful hair without the added expense of products.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I love hearing from you, even if I don't always have time to reply
