Best Sex Doll Review: Introduction
Hey everyone! I started this thread to have a space to post my thoughts and photos regarding my first love doll, Suki.
I hope you enjoy my first review of her, and check back once in a while for updates.
Full disclosure: Silidolls offers all TDF members customers a small discount in exchange for posting reviews of their products on this forum. This is one such review. This review is my honest opinion geared toward other first time doll buyers who may be considering scaled-down doll.
I apologize in advance for the length.
Best Sex Doll Review: The Review
Choosing Suki
Owning a love doll has been a fantasy of mine for quite a long time. I remember visiting this forum shortly after the original RealDolls became popular and thinking I'd never be able spend that kind of money to indulge my doll fantasies. When, after a long time, life circumstances afforded an opportunity to own a doll, I came back to this forum to find dozens of reasonably-priced and gorgeous TPE dolls. I knew I wanted a smaller doll because I still need to store it out of view, did not want to deal with manipulating anything over 50 pounds, and have a limited budget. This narrowed my search to the 100-135 cm range, but there were still so many dolls to choose from. I narrowed my search down to a few popular 100, 110, and 125 cm models but Suki was always a favorite. She had an irresistible look. In truth, I probably looked at Sili Doll's photos of her over 100 times – I would research other manufacturers and vendors, but I just kept coming back to Suki. When she went on sale during black friday, I knew she was the one. The price was right for me at the time and I ordered her.
Ordering Suki
Ordering from Mig and Silidoll.com was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I needed to postpone delivery of my Suki until this month, but also wanted to lock in the sale price. Mig was happy to accommodate, and provided instruction on how to not have Suki delivered to my door, so as to be more discrete.
I also discussed several customization options with Mig. I decided on a regular bust size Suki made in a Japan Light White skin tone, the same as is used by Silidoll's newer models, like Suri and possibly Sukiwaai. Its supposed to be a slightly softer TPE formula, and I thought it cool to have a more unique doll, since most, if not all, of the Suki's I've seen are the "Original Tan", which is quite sexy as well. It was a difficulty decision, but a striking similarity between Suki and a certain 'very chilly' princess (thanks to Anung for pointing that out) demanded the lighter skin option. In addition, I asked for denser makeup, the inclusion of an extra set of eyes (green and brown) and wig (blonde and brunette), and for the blonde wig to be braided, of course.
I still wasn't exactly certain about some details of the doll when ordering, especially in regards to the labia and some aspects of the skeletal structure. From what I can tell, Silidoll updates their products from time to time, and the information on their website can be a little confusing. There are sometimes discrepancies between their website photos and descriptions and what's reported by customers in this forum. Exact information was difficult to find though I'm sure I could have cleared up any questions with a quick email to Mig. In the end though, I decided to roll the dice and see what I got.
Mig was happy to accommodate all of my requests with a negligible charge for the extras, and was prompt to respond to my many questions. Production and shipping were quick as well. It took around 12 days from final confirmation of the order to picking it up at DHL. Not at all bad considering that my Suki was made to order and then shipped overseas.
Unboxing Suki
I picked up Suki from DHL, and it seemed she had been handled fairly well, but without respect to the box orientation. I opened her box carefully, and found the packing to be adequate. It wasn't fancy, but it kept her safe enough. There were no directions or care instructions included, but I found an great assortment of goodies. Silidoll threw a free wig in the box, along with the two I had requested. I'm glad they did, because it's the one I use the most, which allows me to reserve the others for photos. I also found the usual included outfits and accessories. The irrigator is a good addition, though I do wish a drying tool was included. Maybe a custom made dowel with a sponge and doll friendly tip? I have not yet tried the vibrating egg.
I detected only a slight TPE odor, which was not at all overpowering. The smell was somewhat sweet, fairly mild, and reminiscent of other toys I've owned. I was certainly relieved given some of the bad experiences with TPE I've heard recounted on this forum.
Immediately upon removing her from the box, I was overwhelmed by Suki's quality and beauty. She is a very solid doll, heavier than I expected, and seems well made overall. At the same time, her features are delicately sculpted and quite feminine. Her seam lines are barely noticeable, and are only highly visible when she is under stress from posing. I will say, it was a bit of strange feeling to place Suki's head on her body for the first time. She suddenly felt so lifelike! I honestly was not expecting such quality given the price, even after reading many positive reviews. Yet there she was, in all her beauty. It's good to be wrong sometimes!
Getting to Know Suki
I inspected Suki carefully and, recalling the many good discussions about care, movement, and so much more here on TDF, began to play with her.
The main joints, i.e. shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, were tight, but the hinges are easily manipulated when worked properly. Suki's skeleton is very posable, especially in its main joints. Her ankles and wrists are wire however, and are much weaker. I immediately noticed that left wrist was looser than the others, and it has since broken completely to the point where the left hand will no longer retain a pose. I think a hinged joint would have lasted much longer, and I'm now quite concerned about that hand. I hope future generations will include proper joints at the wrists and ankles. That said, I've contacted Mig about the issue, and will update the thread when a solution is reached.
Out of the box, Suki's skin was absolutely flawless. Her light skin is pale but with a vibrant, lifelike quality. Suki arrive clean and powdered, leaving her skin smooth and supple. Excluding temperature and lack of body hair, her skin replicates the sensation of human touch very, very well. There were no blemishes to be found, hardly even a seam, and her skin detail exceeded my best expectations. I knew, from my research, that Suki had the most detailed hands and feet in dolls of her class but I wasn't expecting the level of detail around vagina and anus. Both are very well sculpted. Her anal entrance appears to be smaller and more detailed than previous iterations, and it's beyond sexy. The labia and clit were the best surprise as they appear to be an entirely different sculpt from earlier versions. An update to Suki's vagina is listed on Silidoll.com, but this one is different from the one dollafficianado posted in his review. It's much nicer too, in my opinion, containing subtle and realistic details for a sexy and refined look from all angles and poses.
Suki's face has small, delicate features with large and detailed moveable eyes. Suki is an extremely cute girl. Her large and wide eyes are reminiscent of anime characters without detracting from the illusion that she could be a real person. I quickly found that she can give a variety of looks ranging from quizzical and surprised to euphoric and sultry. Perfect. Her face looked excellent out of the box with professional quality makeup. She can look a little immature and basic without makeup, but I've found she is easily restored if you follow the tutorials provided by the vendor and TDF members. A little work makes her face truly come alive.
Suki's body is fantastic. She is a little firmer than I expected, but her firmness leaves an impression of quality, yet is still supple enough to make for some great experiences. Being my first doll, I have no true basis for comparison in terms of softness. That said, I wouldn't change a thing about the exterior of her body. Suki has ample breasts that are well sculpted and feel great in the hand due to their weight and fullness. I think the nipples of my Suki may be slightly different from others I've seen, but they are equally as beautiful. The breasts and body bounce, shake, and shimmy in really sublte, exciting, and sometimes surprising ways. Her waist transitions gracefully down to her hips in a womanly curve that frames her flat, somewhat athletic stomach. Suki's booty is small, but well proportioned to her body, which contributes to her slim and athletic appearance. Suki has fairly thin arms and legs that are subtly contoured to highlight her joints.
Suki's hands and feet are reproduced in extreme detail. They are soft and incredibly realistic to the touch. My Suki does not have finger wires, which I am grateful for. They seem like a potential vulnerability and personally, I like the free movement of her fingers during photography and play. I again wish that wrist and ankle joints were hinged for strength, instead of wired, but otherwise they are perfect.
Ultimately, I think Silidoll has done an excellent job in designing this doll. She is petite and thereby remains manageable, while providing the experience of being with a feminine mature woman. For one, she is surprisingly dense and heavy, constructed from solid TPE all the way to the skeleton. Her weight is convincing and realistic. Her proportions and features are those of a young, athletic adult, with fantastically large breasts. She is always strikingly beautiful and inviting.
My Weekend with Suki
I've spent only a short time with Suki so far, but I've been able to experience her in so many ways. Sex with her is great. She takes and holds positions well and can be repositioned relatively quickly (though carefully) due to her size and weight, usually without breaking the heat of the moment. I imagine this would not be possible with some larger dolls. At the same time, Suki is large enough that I can usually interact with her during sex in ways that are similar to how I would with a real person. Without going into too much detail, I can say with certainty that if you spend enough time with her, you'll find several excellent sex positions that do not put strain on her body. Suki has three absolutely fantastic orifices, which are all well-placed on the body for accessibility during play.
The vaginal canal is by far my favorite. The internal texturing feels better than any previous toy I've used (including fleshlights, Meiki sleeves, Meiki hips, Tenga). It is deep enough to accommodate above average size men, and expands nicely to a tight but very pleasant fit. Impressively, Suki's vagina feels anatomically correct when a finger is placed inside. Intimate details, like a G-spot, are not forgotten here. She is tight but forgiving during intercourse, and she will sometimes seem to gently squeeze you or provide mild suction depending on the position. Either way, it's enough to feel like she's actually responding to you, both vaginally and throughout her entire body, which jiggles nicely along with your movement. Trust me, it's good. It's very, very good.
The anal canal does not have quite the same level of internal detail as the vagina, but still performs admirably. It has internal concentric ribbing that, while not quite as convincing to the fingers as the vagina, simulates anal sex impressively well. It feels very authentic. The entrance is small, and looks great before and during use, but most likely requires additional caution due to its small size.
Suki's mouth is likewise amazing. It produces excellent suction and slurps when large amounts of lube are used. Her face does deform quite a bit during oral and the cavity is pointed up into the head instead of down the neck, but she has a solid lower jaw and a firm forehead and skull. This limits the amount of deformation slightly and gives additional sensations and realism. Between the suction, internal texture, and slurping, it's an engaging experience to say the least. Again, as close to the real thing as you could expect in a sex doll. Unfortunately, the TPE in the oral cavity against the lower jaw was extremely thin in my Suki (around 1mm thick) and very fragile. Within a few days, the TPE had worn through and torn, exposing the lower jaw in a couple of areas. This happened despite using quite a bit of lube, and being fairly careful when cleaning. I've contacted Silidoll about the issue and have already heard back from Mig, who awaits my photos of the problem. I'm confident we will find a solution.
Suki is really, really hot. She's built for bedroom play, and it shows.
Spending Time with Suki
I purchased Suki primarily as a sex toy, though I've recently begun to find other ways to spend time with her as well. She is fun to shop for and I've bought a few outfits for her already. Based on the advice of many others who buy clothes for their 100 cm dolls, I went with size 4T tops and 2-3T bottoms depending on how tight I want them to fit. I stick with whites and light colors to avoid staining issues, and bought some cute protective clothes first. So far, most everything looks great on her, especially if a few tricks are used (e.g. using sashes to improve fit). She's quite a willing model actually, though off the shelf its difficult to find truly sexy attire in her size. Custom options do exist.
Suki is also an excellent subject for artistic/erotic photography. Light plays well with her skin, which itself is a great canvas for makeup. Her body is flexible enough to take on interesting poses and has detail where it matters. Her face is interesting from many different angles and very expressive. I will note here that the photos included in this review were taken with an iPhone camera in relatively low light and processed in a photo editor. I have much to learn in the art of doll photography, but luckily there are many excellent artists on TDF who are willing to share their knowledge. I will soon give Suki a proper photoshoot with my Nikon and better lighting, so check back here for more.
Maintaining Suki
Though I'm new to the world of doll ownership, I understand that TPE requires regular care and maintenance. Luckily, mineral oil products are miraculously good at cleaning and maintaining TPE dolls. A little Mineral oil causes releases dirt and makeup from the skin, acts as a pretty good lubricant, and prevents TPE from loosing its precious bodily fluids. With a little cornstarch to powder her skin and vaseline for her internals, you are ready to provide excellent care. Cleaning the orifices is not terribly difficult, but drying them is somewhat challenging. I've got some reusable tampons made from sea sponges in the mail, which I hope help keep her fresh and clean.
Suki is also a great communicator through her body if one is willing to listen. If trying to move joint in a bad direction, she'll let you know by putting up unusually stout resistance. Her creaks will tell you when she's under stress and remind you to be careful with her. She's a well built and quality product, and beyond the initial issues, I expect to have a nice long relationship with her. She'll take normal use well, but I get the sense that a small mistake or act of carelessness may cause permanent damage. In the first weekend, I scuffed her bum a bit because her skin was not properly powdered, experienced issues with a potentially faulty wrist, and found the TPE lining her throat to be far too flimsy for regular use. I think moving to hinged wrists would be great, even if it adds to the cost of the doll. I also like where Silidoll is going with Sukiwaai in that she seems to have a more substantial mouth and throat (and a very sexy tongue…). Some compromises are made to accommodate Suki's convenient size and low cost, and more experience with dolls will undoubtedly help me keep them in their best condition. That said, I'm confident in the support I'm getting from Silidoll thus far, and I am optimistic that there will be some positive resolution to my particular issues. I'll update this thread with any further developments.
Final Thoughts
Suki is one of the lowest priced 100 cm+ dolls available from a reputable TDF vendor, yet she performs well above my best expectations for any love doll. I knew getting into this that, on some level, she'd fulfill the doll fantasies I've been harboring ever since becoming aware of Realdolls in the late 90s. What I was not expecting was that my relationship with her would become more than just sexual. After spending some time getting to know her, I found that I genuinely enjoy maintaining her, experimenting with her makeup, posing her and taking erotic photos of her. It has been a great journey so far. She is equally skilled in bed as she is as a low-cost hobby and/or companion doll. For my purposes, I wouldn't want her a centimeter shorter or a pound heavier. She's cute, she's super fun, very photogenic, and clearly the product of excellent design. Even in the face of the issues I've encountered, I'd recommend her to anyone in the market for a 100-125 cm doll.
TL;DR – Excellent customer service combine with solid, though not perfect, craftsmanship and super sexy good looks, making Suki an incredible value as a sex, companion, and hobby doll.

Absolute luxury with a twist
Page Tools
Perceptions are changing that cashmere is an expensive fibre worn by conservative dressers.
Photo: Supplied
The most luxurious yarn in the world starts in the freezing wilds of Mongolia, writes Oliver Horton.
Mongolia is a place where the wind cuts you in two. No sane man would venture there if it weren't for the lucrative inhabitants - kashmir goats - whose winter coats provide the raw material for the finest yarn in the world. It takes five months and 80 people for cashmere to arrive as a garment in a store near you. But it's worth it. No other substance combines warmth and softness to such perfection that you want to stroke it just for pleasure. A one-ply cashmere sweater is two or three times as warm as a wool jumper of similar weight. And Mongolian cashmere is the finest.
It is the weather that makes Mongolian goats a consummate source of cashmere: temperatures range from 60 degrees to minus-7 degrees. To survive the conditions, the goats grow a unique, incredibly soft inner coat, six times finer than human hair. This is combed from the belly of the goat by local women and graded according to colour and fineness. The best is white and comes from the younger goats; as with any animal, their coats coarsen with age. The back takes the worst of the weather and produces the poorest cashmere: coarse and dark. Since it takes about four to six animals to produce enough cashmere for a sweater, cashmere is second only to vicuna in price. Quality is measured in the length of the staple and the wool's micronaire (diameter). The goal is fibre that is long and thin, strong and soft, and that is very unusual.
Chinese buying agents take bales of fibre to China by truck, where they are shipped to spinners in Italy or Britain.
The spinners produce yarn from the bale: tiny lots of individual clumps of fibre. The raw fibre is carded (brushed) to remove stones, sticks and so forth. "There's all sorts of crap in there," says Colin Anderson, director for manufacturing and procurement at the leading cashmere specialist Pringle of Scotland.
The fibre that remains is spun into yarn. It is then dyed to a specific recipe: fashion colours change seasonally but shades such as black are, ahem, evergreen. Pringle works with preferred spinners in Scotland, the Midlands and northern Italy. For fashion shows, certain yarns, garments and colours are fast-tracked from the spinners through to the factory in Scotland.
Fashion is not designed at the 11th hour. It's designed at a minute past the 12th hour," Anderson says. "But that's part of its excitement."
The tighter the twist on the yarn, the harder it is to get a luxurious feeling, but with twist comes durability. The correct level of twist is very important since the main complaint with cashmere is that it bobbles: infuriating if you pay $500 for a cardigan. The yarn is already a little greasy from the goat but the spinner adds oil to get the right balance. If it's not spun perfectly, it can go thick/thin/thick/thin, making for a poor quality garment. Pringle tests the yarn count, tensile strength, oil content and colour continuity before it is shipped or trucked to its Pringle factory in Scotland for testing and knitting.
The garment is initially prepared in panels: front, back, sleeves and collar. The knitter programs a knitting machine to accomplish the sketch supplied by the designer. Depending on the design, and the complexity and skill needed to achieve it, the knitting takes between one and 20 hours.
The panels are about 30 per cent larger than the size of the final garment as there's a lot of shrinkage during milling.
The linking process, in which the panels are brought together, is the most dextrous procedure in the construction of a garment.
Pringle uses point-to-point linking: every stitch is individually aligned with its partner on the opposing panel, by hand and very quickly.
"You can use a machine but it's a cheap way of doing it," Anderson says. It returns for a second linking after the pre-press.
"Milling is the one area of the manufacturing process that no cashmere producer will let you see. It's where all the secrets of our 190 years are kept," he adds.. Still greasy, the garment is scoured to remove most of the oil and milled. Each shade requires a different amount of milling and the softness of Scottish water adds to the touch. The washing machine is very gentle and the metal used in the drum is especially delicate. Dark shades are washed for much longer than pastels because of the impact of the dye. The garment shrinks by 30 per cent.
The pre-press process sets the garment to shape, ensuring it doesn't move again and that it fits perfectly. Garments then go for cutting: they scoop out the neck and send it for neck linking. As with the linking of the panels, the necks are joined stitch by stitch to the rest of the sweater.
The completed garment then goes for embroidery. Pockets and zippers are added and the garments have a final pressing.
Labels and tickets are attached before the finished garment is folded in tissue paper ready for shipping. It is placed in a Pringle poly bag, though it will be sold to the customer in a silk bag. The garment arrives in the British warehouse in Wakefield where it is allocated to a retail customer.
It is then distributed worldwide. "The minimum number of people that handle the garment in the factory is 25 for a basic crew or V-neck and 40 for something more complicated like a cardigan.
"The whole process, starting . . . in Mongolia, involves 70 or 80 pairs of hands," Anderson says.
Chief designer Stuart Stockdale is responsible for about 800 styles a season: men's and women's fashion, plus the traditional golf ranges and accessories.
Designs must be ready about six months before the garments are delivered to store.
Early on, he presents a detailed direction on colour and themes to his design team. The designers research his ideas, produce sketches and specifications and these become samples.
After testing the fits, production can begin. As Anderson says: "This is where very successful brands get it right. They balance creativity with getting the product delivered on time."

There are so many events out there that it's hard to keep the running calendar straight. It's even harder to choose events, with so many great ones out there. I'm so glad I picked the Ladybug Run for my fun run in August. Previously held in Champoeg Park, the Ladybug Run moved to Cook Park this year and it was a perfect location. We weren't the only ones that thought it was an ideal area. August 10th there were the usual outdoor enthusiasts, a company picnic and a soccer tournament, all taking advantage of this Tigard park, as well as more than 400 runners. Even with all those people, I didn't have a problem with parking, packet pick up or finding the starting line. Volunteers directing traffic and pointing us in the right direction made it a smooth morning.
Only in its' second year, the Ladybug Run nearly doubled their participants this year. The race is named after a small section at Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, Ladybug is an area for the kids that need ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). Children with CDH (congenital diaphragmatic hernia) stay in this area of the hospital. All proceeds from the run go directly to raising CDH awareness and helping families that are affected by this rare but extremely serious disease. Because it is so rare, most people have never heard of CDH and, unfortunately, that means there isn't a lot of funding. The Ladybug Foundation is trying to change that and with the 2013 Ladybug Run they were able to raise over $10,0000.
It was great to see all the red tutus, ladybug socks, an MC dressed in a ladybug track suit and smiles all around, so many little ones genuinely having fun and making a difference. I loved the energy and I think it was refreshing for families affected with this disease to be able to come together with something so positive. Race Director, Liz Dooley, did an amazing job all around, but I loved that she kept it personal, even with so many participants. We started the run with a short prayer. Keeping it respectful, people could join in, use the time to reflect on their own or just put their music on. It was a nice touch.
People could do a single loop around the park and through an adjoining neighborhood for the 5k or for those running the 10k, you could run the double loop. For some speedy runners, they beat the volunteer holding the direction sign and came in with the 5k group. I stopped and asked a volunteer because I'm lazy and didn't want to run extra in the wrong direction and if there's a wrong turn to take, I'll pick it every single time. This little snag on the course was quickly remedied and I was impressed that I didn't hear a single complaint. No matter how well organized an event is, things happen but I loved that the participants kept things in perspective. This run wasn't so much about the timing chip and sometimes that's a good thing.
The double loop worked for this event. Without it, I would have missed seeing most of the families walking it together. There were lots of kids and strollers, which I know can sometimes be a challenge at events. There's a reason there are pace waves at events, it's often hard to politely get around people in front of you, especially if they are walking in big groups taking up the whole path. The walkers in this event were absolutely amazing. They kept to one side of the path/street and had clearly gone over the etiquette section on the Ladybug Run website. I've been that person so carried away in conversation, I don't hear another runner coming up behind me and I've failed to scoot over. It happens, but amazingly I didn't see it on this run.
They had two water stations, which was perfect. The run was late enough you could sleep in, but early enough that it wasn't hot yet. It wasn't hot, that is, unless you were wearing a tutu and tights and, in that case, it was hot, even with the 9AM start time. The course was on a mostly paved path and neighborhood streets with some rolling hills. It was a nice way to get to see the park and even though we ran it twice, I didn't get bored with the scenery.
There was a Diaper Dash after the 10k and 5k with some pretty excited kids outrunning their parents. Bright ladybug cookies, chocolate milk and medals gave everyone something to smile about at the finish line. Live music and beer for the adults also helped. Just a fun morning all around, I think this run will sell out next year and with good reason. The Ladybug Run will be the first weekend in August next summer at it's new home, Cook Park. Keep checking their website for 2014 details.

Probably better for the description to be removed from the Packages file completely and the DDTP one contains the translated version and English ones for those with missing or outdated translations. That way, apt spends less time parsing the (smaller) Packages file when doing ordinary stuff like package installation and only needs to look at the DDTP information when specifically called as 'apt-cache search'.One issue is that many people will have disabled downloading translations so they'll need to change their configuration from none to en: APT::Acquire::Translation "none"; Since en will now be a "Translation", perhaps a different config item is more appropriate: APT::Acquire::Description "en";
This will not work:apt use a md5sum from the sort and lang description (from the packages file) to find the right 'translation'. If you remove the long description from the packages file, apt can't do this task...
if we like to remove the long description from the package file, we must change apt in some way and use some other rules for select the right description (a new 'Description-md5sum' or the Version-Nr)

So why me? Where do I come from? What have I done?
I'm glad you asked. For starters, I've been a professional freelance photographer for 19 years and counting. I cut my teeth on regional travel stories for magazines, which looking back, was foreshadowing of some pretty amazing career highs. I've produced images for more than 1,000 stories on everything from culinary creations to breathtaking architecture. I've shot politicians, entertainers, visual artists, world-class chefs and Fortune 500 CEOs. On assignment, I've traveled through Ireland's rocky, otherworldly Burren region near the mighty Cliffs of Moher. And spent solitary winter days shooting surfers braving the swells of an early March storm off Cape Hatteras.
Years Freelancing
Years in The Industry
Back home, I shot stories that gave insight into the triumphs and struggles of everyday heros. I zoomed across the skies at 180 mph in helicopters with two medical evac crews as they responded to emergency calls for help. I shadowed a brain surgeon through a 12-hour day of operations, close enough that I could have touched a human brain. I spent an emotional day with a distressed, but hopeful couple and their preemie twins in N.I.C.U.
On the other end of the spectrum, I rode with a UPS driver as he covered his daily route. I spent a year documenting the training of a Golden Retriever puppy destined to be a service dog. And with (only) 6 hours of training, I jumped solo out of a Cessna 182 from 3000 feet to cover a skydiving story.
In Love With Monochrome
Years Digital Printing
I fell in love with the monochrome image almost 30 years ago in the darkroom. In the winter of 1995, I made my first digital prints on an early Epson photo printer.
In the span of of a few years, I had experiences that pushed me out of my comfort zone and changed how I viewed the world. And I enjoyed my work in ways I'd only dreamed of as a high schooler with my first Pentax K1000. As my skills and connections increased, new opportunities found me. In 2009, the Pennsylvania Winery Association hired me to shoot harvest season. Photography plus wine? I was in my element. And then the most exciting thing happened. I landed a contract with AAA World Magazine (readership of nearly four million!) to shoot travel stories.
One of my most memorable assignments? ―Shooting Mendoza, Argentina's wine region. I also shot wine producing regions from Central Virginia to the New York Finger Lakes. When there weren't grapes to shoot, I was living on a catamaran capturing the beauty of the British Virgin Islands; or kissing Ireland's famous Blarney Stone as I motored the coast between Dublin and Galway. Stateside, I spent 12 days on the road documenting quaint, historic beach towns from New Jersey's Barnegat Lighthouse to South Carolina's Myrtle Beach.
Photography is a balance of physics and art, math and chemistry that I find fascinating. At 13, I discovered the joys of darkroom printing. By the time I was 17, I was hooked on manipulating the enlarger and agitating the chemicals. From then, I knew that the print would always be the culmination of my artistic vision.
Although I sold my darkroom years ago, I still craft my own prints, though now it's done with carbon-based inks in daylight. My fine art images, silver and carbon, have been viewed in dozens of solo and group exhibitions, and my prints are held in several public and private collections in the US and abroad.
From very early on, life has had designs on me giving back to the photo community. It started near the end of the last millennium when I was invited to serve on the board of directors for the Doshi Center for Contemporary Arts. Around the same time, I began teaching photography privately to a small group of adult photo enthusiasts who wanted to up their games.
And early into this new century, a friend who was assistant director for an urban afterschool arts organization, Danzante, asked if I'd be interested in developing a photography program for their teens. I jumped in with a bag full of Polaroid Land cameras I'd been scavenging from flea markets over the years. I saw my younger self in the kids' excited faces as they pulled apart their exposed and developed images.
In 2015, I accepted an adjunct instructor position at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles, where I've taught everything from 4-week programs, through advanced imaging classes for BFA and MFA students.
"I Am a Photographer"
I've often pondered that statement, wondering if my career choice defined me. In reality, my love of art and science, and my inability to sit still for too long, or do the same thing everyday has directed my life. Crafting images definitely brings clarity to my world.
Thanks for reading. If you see me in a wine bar or a coffee shop, stop by and say hello.

Artist Statement
For the past 15 years, trees have inspired my photography. I've always aimed to show their beauty, vulnerability and majesty. After moving to Los Angeles in 2013, my goals broadened to include how they share our spaces, affect our micro climates and enrich our lives.
With a new series I'm currently working on, I aim to juxtapose the beauty and purpose of urban trees with their needs and ours, contrasting their survival with their demise. I've always endeavored to portray trees with a sense of dignity and majesty. I look for images that describe our symbiotic relationship with trees and express their intersection with our existence.
I appreciate color photography. My travel images wouldn't be the same without it. But sometimes I feel the beauty and visual familiarity of color distracts from the intended message. I believe that working in black and white has the ability to remove this level of distraction, encouraging a more intimate experience with the images.
I've loved black and white printing since 1988. In high school it was a traditional darkroom; today I print digitally. In my process, my goal is to produce prints with a wider tonal range than what was typical with my traditional darkroom prints, and that will last a lifetime, or two. I also strive to have a minimal impact on the world around us.

Choline and Gut Bacteria
Q I wanted to share this article that I stumbled across in Science Daily titled, "Specific Populations of Gut Bacteria Linked to Fatty Liver." Your comments would be appreciated.
MICHAEL, email@example.com
A Choline has been established to be an essential nutrient by the Institute of Medicine and that conclusion is supported by a great many studies. It is also quite clear that adequate intake of choline is necessary for proper memory function, and inadequate supplies result in the body cannibalizing the membranes of neurons for their phosphatidylcholine content, especially with increased age!
The Nature study (2011 April 7;472:57–63) contains a lot of anomalies. In it, the cardiovascular and atherosclerotic association was abolished when the mice were given broad-spectrum antibiotics. Yet, quoting from the study, "[P]rospective randomized trials with antibiotics in humans have thus far failed to demonstrate cardiovascular benefit and studies with germfree hyperlipidaemic mice confirm that infectious agents are not necessary for murine atherosclerotic plaque development" [Emphasis added]. Curiously, again quoting the study, "Deficiency in both choline and betaine has been suggested to produce epigenetic changes in genes linked to atherosclerosis." [Emphasis added].
Furthermore, the humans who were analyzed and found to have a correspondence between choline levels and cardiovascular disease were not clearly defined, except that they were referred for cardiac evaluation at a tertiary care center. It may be (and seems plausible) that those predisposed to developing cardiovascular disease (a long-term event), have altered microflora. These alterations may be far more causal than higher levels of choline, per se, which could be a consequence, along with faulty metabolism. The study does not characterize the microflora. Research suggests that the relationship between gut flora and humans is not merely commensal (a non-harmful coexistence), but rather a symbiotic relationship. Does the progression of cardiovascular disease alter this symbiotic relationship? It may.
There are a lot of ways that microflora can be made more robust, including the reduction in gut inflammation, which can be done for example with polyphenols and other antioxidants.
The "Discussion" in the report leaves a lot to be desired, and suggests few alternative explanations, a definite weakness in composing an argument.
Two further considerations …
Don't get tipped; take care of your gut, as well as your heart.

Here's a gorgeous Ash/Maple M4V in Natural! Mike says this is probably his top selling model/color combination, and I can see why. It certainly looks awesome, and it's got a killer j-bass tone!
One note about the pictures: there is a protective film covering most of the black pickguard. There's a little bit of the film missing right there at the lower horn. So you can see how shiny the pickguard will be once the protective film is removed.

Have had a home hub 2 for a few months and has been very reliable and working well with a couple of iphone 3gs, a PC laptop, and and HP printer (all g network adaptors).
Since early January I've had a MacBook Air (n network adaptor).
I am now finding that when using the Mac laptop at the same time as one of the iphones, one or more devices drop their wireless connection and in some cases are unable to see the router and reconnect.
Is there a known issue with the home hubs supporting n & g devices simultaneously ?
Have tried help desk they keep telling me to change the channel - not surprisingly this seems to be making no difference!
on 13-01-2011 21h33
i've read this problem before,
it's because the homehub isn't true 'N' or something like that..
best to stick with 'g'
macbook air's 'N' is backwards compatible with g so it will still work i believe.
else you could go and buy a new router.
on 13-01-2011 22h25
when you say stick with g, you mean change the router settings to run on g only, not n?
bit of a shame losing out on the performance improvement
prefer to buy a router that actually works - just wish BT would own up to the problem if it exists!
on 15-01-2011 0h17
802.11n is a very new standard, and there's a lot of kit around that is "draft-N" - they were based on early drafts of the standard. There's no guarantee that all of them will be entirely compatible with each other.

Tourism Australia is getting some flack about its latest campaign ad, which features a bikini-clad sheila asking, "Where the bloody hell are you?"
The spot has been censored on British TV, though it's the bloody and not the hell that's been bleeped. I shan't go into the disputed etymology of the word here, but you can look it up yourself.
The frustrating part for Aussies is, this was not their first tourism slogan to cause international controversy. Some previous offerings were:
"You're gonna love it down under" (a masterpiece of nuance, this one had the same bikini-clad sheila wink and lick her lips provocatively before tucking into a raw conch)
"Australia: Now surrounded with electrified shark-proof netting"
"Don't be a cheeky bugger, come have a pint and some tucker"
"Australia: Now with 18% less 'roo rage'"
"Fucking hell, get your arse down here!" (you can't say "arse" on TV in some locales)
"Australia: Where the "Bushie" is your best mate, not a polly with kangaroos loose in the top paddock" (clearly geared toward, but somewhat lost on, an American audience)
"Don't be afraid, Mad Mel's off in Central America making a movie" (a reference to the scary, bearded Mel Gibson, who sadly no longer speaks with an Aussie accent because of his "American English" training)
"Australia: We think Steve Irwin's mad, too"
"Come see us, but leave your bloody toads at home"
And this obscure entry:
"Naomi and Nicole are ready for that threesome, Mr. Bogs" (???)
Personally, I think the whole controversy is bloody ridiculous. The bloody Brits and everyone else ought to take the bloody stick out of their bloody uptight arses and just enjoy life.
Oh, and of course, get their bloody arses to Florida for a holiday. We need their money for hurricane repairs.
"Where the heck are y'all?"

Hi there!
Welcome to my happy little spot on the world wide web! I'm Kristina, a happily married, happy mama of three who lives in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm a Christian, homeschooling Mama who loves any and all things crafty – scrapbooking, photography and blog design just to name a few. ;)
I started this blog back in 2008. I wasn't sure why, but I just went with it, enjoyed it and it has been fun seeing it grow and develop into something that has really blessed my life in so many ways.
Not only that, but this little blog is also like my virtual notebook where I can jot down every day moments & tidbits here and there that I don't want to forget.
This blog has also given me an outlet that has allowed me to give back through card drives and various fundraisers and I earn a little money from sponsors and affiliate links, which is nice, too!
So thank you SO much for stopping by.
I hope you find some encouragement and inspiration here. This blog has been so good to me. I hope it's good to you, too.
Here are 20 random facts about me:
1. I could eat chips and salsa every day.
2. I can whistle ANY tune. I'm a fantastic whistler.
3. I know all of the words to "Ice Ice Baby."
4. I once wanted to be a marine biologist and even adopted a whale by sending in some bubble gum wrappers and a couple of bucks.
5. I'm the middle child (I've got an older sister and two younger sisters who are twins).
6. I worked at Burger King when I was in high school. They always stuck me in drive-thru because I was fast and ROCKED it.
7. I'm SUPER ticklish on my feet.
8. I have a freckle on my lip.
9. One of my favorite movies is "Rudy."
10. I'm a germaphobe.
11. Sunflowers are my favorite flower.
12. I'm a hugger.
13. I hate cleaning toilets. Blech!
14. I'm a Cheesehead and proud of it (GO PACK GO)!
15. I watched "Jaws" when I was young and it traumatized me. Seriously. I hate sharks. Guess that's why I never did #4 (see above).
16. I hate clutter. It literally makes me itch.
17. Fall is my most favorite season.
18. I dream of owning a farm one day.
19. I have at least one spontaneous dance party a day. It's a must.
20. I hate coffee, but love cute coffee mugs so I continue to buy them and just drink my ice water in them. :)

When you move around, you get different thoughts.Here's one. Not a Tocqueville-level thought, but I do what I can.
Americans moved around a lot after WWII and created this largely new suburban zone. And now that it's been around for awhile, you can see that it is not really a zone as much as a boundary. America's cultural boundary between one cultural identity that flows outward from the city, and another inward from rural areas. On one side, American cities have been reeling from urban flight and a changing economy. On the other, rural areas have ALSO been reeling from rural flight and a changing economy. So you have two sets of beleaguered refugees in a new America.
But you never really got a true suburban ethos. People are either urban-like or country-like, and what they don't much like is each other. This is America's cultural boundary, and in large measure, also its political boundary. The twain have met. They live next door to each other, but built a fence and they're not on speaking terms.

"Grant is one of the most innovative young musicians still carrying on the tradition of jazz, which encompasses bebop, swing and a little avant garde."

George Coleman
"Be prepared to hear from this young man. I think he's going to be one of the big boys - he IS already one of the big boys - and you'll hear a lot of beautiful playing from him. Grant is what we call in the trade a 'sleeper.' A fantastic player, but not too many people know about him - yet! Once they do hear him they say, "WHOA!" - and that's what I said when I did a recording with him. (And what I have to say to Grant is, "Keep on, keep on playing!")"

Way back when, I made it a New Year's Resolution to entirely walk away from the stupidity that is Atheism+ and I think that for the most part, I've done pretty well keeping that resolution. As a part of that, it meant virtually abandoning several blog networks including FreethoughtBlogs, Skepchicks and, on the other side of the spectrum, the Slymepit. I can honestly say, I have never regretted the decision, nor have I had the slightest interest in ever going back. Being free from extremist feminist stupidity is like a breath of fresh air and I heartily recommend it.
However, while I've been gone, the stupidity has gone on unabated. I sometimes see things on the periphery, reported on other blogs or podcasts that I listen to and sometimes, there are things so utterly idiotic, so abjectly stupid, that I have to step in and make some comments to get it off my chest and keep me from headbanging the desk. This is one of those cases.
Over on a FtB site called Heinous Dealings, a blog by Heina Dadabhoy, she writes the following post about "Excluding White Male Authors". It is so full of feminist idiocy, I haven't got any idea where to start. I guess the only place to begin is at the beginning.
I recently announced something I'd decided on ages ago: That I'd exclusively be reading non-male authors in 2015 and non-white authors in 2016.
That seems extraordinarily stupid, truth be told. Isn't the point of reading anything to gain information, not to bask in the author's gender or skin color? I read for content, not political correctness. It doesn't matter to me who writes a book, only if I enjoy reading the book. I really have no idea the gender or skin color of most authors, given that any of them could easily be using a pseudonym. I also don't care. It never enters my mind to give half a shit about the physical characteristics of the author, but then again, I'm not a racist or a sexist. Radical feminists like Dadabhoy absolutely are both.
The moment of resolution happened when my horrified eyes beheld my reading record on gender. Not only were my percentages far less than 50/50 (favoring male authors) but also most of the female authors on record for me reflected books that I'd read as a child and younger teen. From the time I started university until now, I'd mostly read white male authors.
Maybe because the content you wished to consume just so happened to be written by white male authors? Why does it matter? Does the content change because the gender of the person writing it changes? Apparently you never thought so in the past because it took you a very long time to realize "your mistake". So why, other than your radical feminist credo, do you care now?
Furthermore, the works by the relatively few authors of color I'd read were on racial issues and the non-male authors I'd read were writings on feminism.
Then it sounds like you had a very limited literary spectrum, doesn't it? There are plenty of female authors who write about things other than feminism and tons of non-white authors who write about things other than race. I guess you've just been confined within your liberal hidey hole for far too long. I'll tell you what, I don't read any books about race and I don't read any books about sex and I read books by people of every color and every gender. Maybe you need to expand your horizons beyond the liberal echo chamber you inhabit.
How did this happen to a voracious reader who graduated with a double degree in the Humanities, an area of study widely reviled as diversity-obsessed? The short answer is that I paid no attention to gender or race in my reading, and not caring is a recipe for bias in a world riddled with inequality.
Nor should you. I thought the whole point of liberalism is to establish equality, to go beyond race and sex into a race-blind and sex-blind society. Not so when it comes to radical liberals, they can only see the world in terms of sex and race and privilege. Everything comes down to that, nothing else matters and it can take someone who is supposed to be "diversity-obsessed" and make them a complete sexist, racist asshat. I'm a voracious reader too, I just don't segregate my book shelves into books by a particular gender or a particular race. A book is a book. Read it or don't. It doesn't matter what the person behind the pages has between their legs or how much melanin they have in their skin. But I'm not a racist or a sexist, people like Dadabhoy are.
A common argument against discussing or taking conscious care when it comes to matters of race and gender is that calling attention to the issue will exacerbate matters. Why not focus on the common humanity we all share rather than our differences?
Yeah, why not? That would make perfect sense. Of course, we have to deal with cases of overt racism and sexism, but once you get beyond that, why not just let everyone else compete in the forum of ideas and see who can rise to the top. Oh wait, to a liberal, it's not about equality, it's about putting the "downtrodden" on top and punishing the successful. It's all a giant conspiracy!
Unfortunately for the anti-victimhood brigade, that attitude does not accurately reflect the world in which we live. Seemingly "equal" and "unbiased" behavior doesn't lead to equal and unbiased outcomes. Because of intrinsic biases, behaving as if equality were already acheived leads to the reinforcement of the status quo, which is certainly not equality for all.
No, it doesn't accurately reflect the world that liberals *WANT* to live in. Here she points out the same problem with liberalism that I've pointed out time and time again. They don't want equality, they want specific statistical outcomes. You have to have quotas, forced by the government, to ensure that exactly half of the writers are male and exactly half are female. There has to be a law that a certain percentage of writers are black, another percentage are Hispanic and another are Asian. Some have to be straight, some have to be gay and some have to be transgendered. That's not equality, it's just playing number games.
Bias doesn't magically correct itself when we ignore it in favor of pretending like all that matters is that we are human. If that were true, there would be a lot more balance in my reading history. If a voracious non-male reader of color like myself managed to read so few non-male and/or non-white authors, then active correction is the only solution.
Bias doesn't magically correct itself when you, yourself, are biased. Bias only goes away when it goes away on all sides. It won't happen when the side screaming about bias is more biased than anyone else in the equation. The only correction she needs to make is stop giving a damn what the color or gender of her authors are and only pay attention to the quality of the writing itself.
As uncomfortable as it can be to admit you have biases and to actively work to correct them, the implications of letting the biases simply be are far more uncomfortable.
But it doesn't seem to stop her, does it? She wears her biases on her sleeve proudly. Now I suppose she could be totally unaware of how biased she and her lefty cronies actually are, it's just more cognitive dissonance, but maybe someone needs to educate her on the facts of reality, outside of the liberal factory she's spent far too much of her life inside of.
That means either one of two things:
That I have a bias in my reading and I'm interested in correcting it; or
That there are few-to-no non-male and/or non-white authors worth reading.
Or 3. That you're paying attention to things that are wholly irrelevant except inside of your liberal echo chamber. You do not have a bias in your reading, you read books that come out and that you enjoy. You didn't specifically select those books because they were by white, male authors. You selected those books because the content looked interesting and apparently, you enjoyed them on that basis. She's not correcting a bias, she's developing a bias. She is becoming biased against white, male authors, not because of what they write about, but because of what they are. That is the epitome of racism and sexism that liberals whine about so often. Pot. Kettle. Black.
The only rational thing to do here is not to toss out white authors or male authors, it's to include more non-white and non-male authors if it bothers you so much. Increase your diversity. But no, a "diversity-obsessed" liberal would never do that! That would mean that they'd actually have to do what they claim they want to do. What a bunch of hypocrites.

GRANNIES and grandads made a return to the classroom at Prior Park Prep School yesterday.
Pupils at Acorns Nursery and Pre-Prep in Cricklade invited their grandparents into their classroom to get involved with an afternoon of lessons and to see the children at work and play.
It was an opportunity for grandparents to experience modern education in a traditional school and share in their grandchildren's learning.
It was also a chance for the school to unveil its glass art decorations.
Over the past couple of weeks, children had been working with local artists Ann Jelley and Helen Lake, alongside the school's head of art, Nicky Brookes, to create glass murals for the classrooms.
Headteacher Mark Pearce said the afternoon was a huge success with all grandparents keen to take part in the art activities.
More than 25 sets of grandparents turned out for the afternoon.
Mark said: "It is a chance for them to experience a day in school, see what school is like now and how learning has changed.
"The grandparents find it absolutely fascinating and it really is a delight to watch.
"The children were so excited that their grandparents had come along for the day.
"It was a wonderful opportunity for them to see the work the children had been doing and to take an active part in the curriculum.
"Normally it is the parents taking an active role in their child's education but we must not forget the important role that grandparents play in supporting the children's education."
Judith Panter, the head of Acorns Nursery said: "All of the grandparents were enthusiastic and willing to get their hands dirty during the lessons.
"It was particularly brilliant to see all the grandparents perched on the tiny chairs in the nursery and reception class."
The children loved of working alongside their grandparents for the afternoon.
Year 1 pupil Maddy Hinder-Smith said: "It was so much fun, I wish this could happen every day."
George Streatfeild, who is the grandfather of five-year-old Hugo Fallon, said he really enjoyed spending quality time in the classroom environment with his grandson.
"It is so much more relaxed and friendly in the education system these days," he said.
"I think it is a fantastic initiative to allow parents and grandparents into the classroom to see what goes on behind the doors, I have had a wonderful afternoon.
"With computers and interactive whiteboards, schooling has moved on a lot from the blackboards and chalk that we had."

Raymond, who once earned a living as a musician and nightclub owner, made his fortune buying up property in London's Soho neighborhood on the cheap, at a time when the now posh neighborhood was racked by scandal and many of its seamy establishments were shutting down. Raymond had reportedly become a recluse in recent years, shattered by his daughter's 1992 accidental death from a drug overdose.

I agree that there should be some way of adding the reference to copied text. However, when I copy text I do not always want the reference at the end. My preference is that when copying more than 1 verse then the reference should appear at the start. Though whether I keep the reference there depends upon the way I am writing the document into which I copy the verses.

VA Meets With Healthcare Industry to Discuss Best Scheduling Practices
June 10, 2014, 08:00:00 AM
WASHINGTON – Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan Gibson today announced that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will meet with private healthcare industry leaders to discuss best practices and policies for scheduling patients.
"Our top priority is to get our Veterans off wait lists and into clinics," said Acting Secretary Gibson. "We need to continue to examine the best practices of healthcare systems across the country to find immediate solutions for timely delivery of quality healthcare. VA must be at the forefront of access and innovation. Our Veterans deserve nothing less."
Today, VA officials will meet on state-of-the-art health care access with industry leaders including Kaiser Permanente, Gartner and Mayo Clinic. Discussions will focus on improving Veteran access to quality healthcare and innovating measurement approaches to gauge short- and long-term access to care. Topics will also include recommended strategies and tools to help managers and providers best serve Veterans and provide a consistent patient experience.

Find info concerning Southern Adventist University ski club, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Southern Adventist University Ski information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Southern Adventist University.
Stay in great shape, even through the off-season. Being physically fit includes knowing about nutrition, staying healthy, and not overworking your body before big games. Practice the basics, over and over, especially targeting skills related to your position. Become a super-specialist, and you'll always find your place on an athletic team. Keep your eyes on the ball, and sacrifice your body if you must, but don't drop the ball.
Watch the ball all the way into your hands, and get a good initial grip. Your sixth sense needs to be developed to stay aware of other players at the same time. Follow the advice that college coaches give you, and it will make a big difference in how you play. That's because most college coaching staff were star players at some point in their careers. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in J Sargeant Reynolds Community College gymnasium.
