Comments about Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, 2, 1 fl oz:
Once again, Urban Decay has made an awesome product. This foundation is so light weight and easy to blend, any makeup rookie could use it. There is a very large range of colors, so you can find your perfect color. Your skin truly feels naked under this weightless silky foundation.
Another thing I love about this foundation is the ingredient list. This foundation is formulated with some great ingredients for your skin. It has matrixyl 3000 for anti-aging, green tea for anti-oxidants, and sodium hyaluonate for moisture. Just the kind of multi- tasking product I love!
As an added bonus this foundation is formulated without parabens, sulfates, and other ingredients that's its best to avoid. Remember, your skin is your largest organ, so treat it right with superior ingredients, like the ones found in this foundation.
The only negatives about this product, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't contain sunscreen. This problem is easily fixed by applying sunscreen before you put on your foundation. Also, after applying the foundation, in my chin area only, the foundation separates and looks dotty. Its hard to explain and again, this is only in my chin area. I don't know if it is due to the oils on my skin there but after an hour or so spots or dots form and I have to re-blend. Everywhere else it remains a nice airbrushed look.

Perfect position! Easy to find the place and with a confortable free parking for the car just in front of the hostel! Room essential and clean. We booked a doble room with shared toilet, but we even get a room with private toilet!

When we arrived at the hostel, they announced that they have overbooked it and lead us to another hostel nearby. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, however, the other place had awful conditions, it was dirty (both bathrooms dirty, but one even had a thousand little flies in the shower/toilet/everywhere in the bathroom), rooms were cold, couldn't close the windows properly, beds were also not good. We did not want to stay there, however, since it was midnight, we had no other choice.

- Great PlaceDinerCGVIPDined on 8/21/2014It is rare that I give a restaraunt five stars. The food was outstanding. We shared two entrees and they were both excellent. The service was impeccable. The server was knowledgeable of all the food and provided great service without being "in the way". I can't wait for this place to reopen in OTR so I can get more yummy food.Special Features:
- Heaven on the HillEaterDined on 8/6/2014Wonderful gourmet twist on traditional Indian style dishes. Absolutely delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bar not stockedVitaminvDined on 7/25/2014Wish they had some whiskey! I waited for my date and just wanted crown & coke. They were out of crown. They were also out of makers. Kinda sucked I had to settle for southern comfort. The bartender was nice though. Food was pretty good nothing super awesome though. I enjoyed my dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food; problematic serviceAdventure0077Dined on 7/24/2014Four of us had dinner on a Thursday night at Mantra on the Hill. The food was great but when the bill for us came with everyone on together, I asked if it could be split. The response was that it could take a while even though there were just a few other people in the restaurant. It did take a while and then he came back with only 2 of the 4 bills so we had to wait until he did the other 2, then he forgot to give change to one in our group. Since the food was wonderful I would try again but clarify up front the expectation for separate bills.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great gourmet indian foodCincySueDined on 7/19/2014We have been to Mantra a number of times ... and keep coming back. Love the food ... we always get the same thing ... Garlic Basil Naan .... Tikka Masala and one of their own creations ... Murgh Dhaniwal. It is a cozy romantic setting with a good wine list. We have sat outside only once ... could be a little more but it is great to be able to hear the music from blind lemon ...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DawnDined on 7/12/2014We had an emergency and had to cancel. Your questioner will not allow for me to by pass the ratings. I hope to try another time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic experience!Akm122VIPDined on 6/13/2014We found Mantra on the Hill on Open Table, during a quick visit to Cincinnati. It was truly fantastic. Laid back and casual atmosphere, great service and amazing food! Lots of options and flavors-a great place...will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 194 reviews are from the Mantra on the Hill reviews archive.
- Great Food and Excellent Service!!!MsMollyDined on 5/27/2014The best advice I can make to anyone going to this restaurant is try to sit in John's section and ask what's good. He was our server and he knew every dish on the menu and he clearly loved the food there. The best servers always know and love the food. They make great suggestions and John's were spot on! What makes the food there so good is the combination of spices. They're addictive! Be sure to try some of the appetizers. I recommend (actually credit goes to John) the eggplant chips and the garbanzo beans. Also, save room for dessert. The chocolate creme brulee is outstanding and hard to forget. Actually, I wish I had some right now.... Service here is always great. They let you relax and enjoy your evening out. Never rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Indian with a differenceomnivoreDined on 5/25/2014Tasty food, good flavors. A little different from the run-of-the-mill Indian restaurants in town. More expensive, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TastyVIPDined on 5/16/2014Made a last minute reservation on a Friday night. Enjoyed some great Indian food. Great vegetarian options. Seriously deep pours of wine. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never less than happyBlazinKYDined on 5/10/2014We're repeat visitors and each time Mantra has been amazing. Some friends came for their first time and they left saying that this was the best Indian food they've had in Cincinnati. From Starting with the masala mushrooms and papri chaat to dining on the korma paneer and palak paneer, each order was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a favorite!msh75Dined on 5/10/2014mantra on the hill is definitely one of my favorite places! you cannot get better indian food (coconut shrimp appetizer is a must!), and the atmosphere is perfect. we had slower service this time, but the staff was fantastic about it--even gave us each a free glass of wine to compensate. can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointedjjwhitDined on 5/10/2014We have been to Mantra numerous times and always loved it. This time we found the menu reduced to more standard Indian fare and the bar service dramatically scaled back. They didn't have basic ingredients for mixed drinks let alone Flying Horse or Tiger beer. The duck was no longer available either.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/9/2014Food was wonderful, as always. Only problem is length of time to get food. Always seems to be quite a wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Theater at Mantra on the HillCookieDined on 4/30/2014We parked at the Playhouse in the Park and walked to Mantra. It was an easy five minute walk for us. We had dinner with coffee afterward and were back to the theater in slightly more than an hour. My husband had the salmon which was delicious and done just right. I had chicken tiki masala which was also very good. We also shared the cauliflower and the okra dish. The okra dish was different and superb. We don't want very spicy food, and Mantra did a good job for us. Our waitress was on top of everything that we needed. We will go there again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lauren's the bestDadbongDined on 4/27/2014My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful evening at Mantra on Sunday evening. The service by Lauren was superb. Great care, with fun repartee as the meal progressed. She was a delight. We were "shopping" for a place to go with our dinner group and tied several entrees as well as some side vegetarian dishes. The food was excellent. The lamb was divine. We did not have anything but the best of experiences all around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PunctualityOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/26/2014We really liked the food. We really didn't like waiting 1.5 hours to get it. Serving food promptly MUST be a priority, or people will not come back.Special Features:
- creative and tasty Indian cuisineCintiKidVIPDined on 4/25/2014Not the usual Indian restaurant in the USA. The food is creatively and tastily cooked - sort of nouvelle cuisine indiene. Reasonable priced and friendly personal service. It is a pleasure to find papad[am] that is both tasty and not greasy. Indeed the naan is tasty and not greasy as well. We enjoyed the garbanzo almost-salad, lamb ont he shank matinated (rather spicy) and the fried salmon dish. don't forget to look on the back of the menu for veggies andother goodies, including some "usual" Indian items.Special Features:
- Main courses were so socincybirderVIPDined on 4/17/2014It was my first time dining here. My friend and I enjoyed the 2 appetizers we ordered - a chickpea thing and then the eggplant chips in tamarind. The entrees were rather bland. I had a chicken dish that my server mentioned would be on the blander side and he was right. It sounded like a good combination but it didn't live up to my expectations. My friend got the shrimp dish and was disappointed in it.
- The food was really good,xxxxVIPDined on 4/11/2014The food was really good, although the salmon came to our table just lukewarm, as if it had been sitting waiting to come out to our table. Flavors were still good, but had it been hot, it would have been so much better. The papri chaat was delicious, as was the korma. The lentils were also not quite hot enough. Service to get the food out while it's hot is an opportunity.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful and really tastyLindaDined on 4/5/2014This is our second trip to Mantra. My husband and I are new to Indian food, and it was a pleasure to see the menu describe the dishes, plus helpful waitstaff. It was tasty, but sometimes I wish there had been a bit more for sharing. Our waiter was very friendly, helpful, and yet not overly attentive. I definitely go again, to try more new things.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food. Great location.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/2/2014My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Mantra. It's right in the middle of Mount Adams, which makes it convenient to visit Playhouse in the Park, or a coffee shop thereafter. Definitely will be a place we return to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Went to an afternoon eventTastyVIPDined on 3/28/2014Went to an afternoon event downtown and then brought my wife and 2 teenage daughters to Mantra. i had just returned from India and looked forward tot he American interpretation of their food. The meal was excellent. Their wine pairings were generous and excellent. We will return.Special Features:
- Friday evening dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/21/2014Had dinner before going to Playhouse in the Park. Food was very good and service was outstanding. We went early so parking was great, we didn't have to rush and we could just walk up the hill for the play. It was a very nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time for Indian FoodLarryLoriDined on 3/15/2014Being a foodie my husband and I decided to step out of the box with dining. The restaurant just opened for the evening as we were the first diners. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helped us out with describing the entrees. The restaurant was black wooden tables with sectioned off rooms like the space was a house before. Nothing fancy, simple colors. Food was delicious and tasty, I will defiantly make another trip in the future to mantra on the hill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently goodCincyCDAVIPDined on 3/9/2014The food selections are consistently good across the entire menu and over all courses. This restaurant offers an excellent night of dining at a very reasonable price.Special Features:
- Great food but sloooow....OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 3/8/2014Could be the best Indian food in the city, but it took them almost an hour and a half to get the entrée to the table. Also, there is a separate dining room in back that is very spare and colorless - and the noise level in that small room was much too high. However, they were kind enough to move us quickly to the main restaurant area upon request.Special Features:
- Very goodsar8Dined on 2/21/2014Food is good- not your typical indian food, more contemporary. Great for friends. Reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great unique meal!aae2808Dined on 2/15/2014There are so many unique items to chose from on the menu, each time we go, we just order a bunch of food and share everything. We tried the Papri Chaat and it was delicious. I always get the Chicken Tikka Masala and it did not disappoint. Whole meal, two people, apps and drinks, two entree's, $45. Can't beat it. And not a morsel of food left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding DaalBretDined on 2/14/2014Some of the best and most creative Indian food in townSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem on the Hillwhiteoak1Dined on 2/8/2014One of the best restaurants that nobody knows. Everything a neighborhood gem should be: great food-yes, ambience-yes, value-yes, pleasant knowledgeable staff-yes! It's especially convenient if you are going to Playhouse in the Park.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointing experiencejudyDined on 2/1/2014service was poor. food took a long time to arrive. waitress kept suggesting more expensive wine and then brought a different one than we ordered. food was "fair" and disappointing. . we had looked forward to a special evening and dinner and we were very disappointed. we wished we had gone to another establishment that was less expensive and yet provided a quality meal. we will not plan to return and will not recommend to others.
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 1/30/2014This was our first time here and had a wonderful experience. Zach our waiter was knowledgable and attentive. This was our first time truly eating at an Indian restaurant and as such had to rely on Zach's expertise. He gave wonderful descriptions and the food was even better than he described. The food was fabulous and we would definitely return. Just give yourself time to enjoy the atmosphere because it is not fast paced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, extremely slow kitchenOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/25/2014My wife and I ate at Mantra on the Hill on a Saturday evening. We had made reservations a week in advance and were promptly seated. Despite the fact that at least a third of the tables were empty, the two cooks in the kitchen were unable to keep up with the orders. Our appetizer arrived in a realistic amount of time, and the fried eggplant slivers were outstanding! But it took 75 minutes to get our entrees (yes, you read that correctly). When the food came, it was very good. The lamb was tenderMilk, and the chicken was tasty, with just the right amount of spice. Our waitress was great, but there was only so much she could do. However, I certainly can't recommend this place based on our experience.Special Features:
- nicegladiwentVIPDined on 1/18/2014This place was quite nice but and good and if you live in the Neighborhood you should give it a try but be aware, the portions a bit on the small side.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet spot in Mount AdamsBearcatfansDined on 1/15/2014This is a fine dining restaurant with an Indian twist. It is quiet, elegant, and has a good wine and beer list. These are minor considerations, though, beside the excellence of the cuisine. From the garbanzo bean salad to the chocolate creme brulee, every single dish was perfection. Our party ordered mostly lamb dishes and vegetables, all delicious. You know there is a master chef at work here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmedJezebelDined on 1/10/2014After reading many good reviews, I was excited to eat here. Not sure if the chef was absent that night or what bit our meal was nothing special. A group of four tried 2 apps, 2 naans and 4 entrees (one from each menu category). The presentation was altogether lacking and the food itself was just okay. Nothing was outstanding. We did have great service.Special Features:
- That's one big spoonPaulVIPDined on 1/1/2014I'd never been to a true Indian restaurant, and when I joked about the huge spoon in the place setting, one of my party of six, who had traveled in India, told me it was for sharing. Another of the party suggested we just order six entrees and share them all, and then another of our group told our server to just bring us the six best things on the menu. I believe the server was named Zack, but at any rate he did a great job at designing our meal. He even brought a seventh entree just because he couldn't decide on the best six! Everything was great, and the desserts were wonderfully odd and delightful. I'm not from Cincy, but if I were I'd eat there often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre food + SLOW serviceDissatisfiedVIPDined on 12/27/2013Mediocre food + SLOW service & kitchen and inattentive wait staff + extremely loud music (sure the one or 2 classic Hindi songs played were appreciated but if ur gonna blast it at least make sure it's a good playlist)
- unique Indian cuisinedinner42Dined on 12/27/2013Food great. Contemporary ambiance. Bartender/waiter Zack was excellent. We let him choose our food. Superb. I 3-starred service only because the staff needed one more person for efficiency. Staff was largely rushed off their feet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

10 Mom-Worthy Christmas Gifts from Harry Potter's World
Wouldn't it be great to shop for Christmas in Harry Potter's London? As a mom, I have my own Potteresque Christmas wish list ....
Christmas Wish List for Moms
Give a mom a nice sweater and the baby will spit up on it. Give a mom a nice baby-food maker and she'll throw it at you. So what do moms want for Christmas? Here's a list for moms at all stages of motherhood ....
Seven Reasons I'm Thankful To Be an At-Home Parent
I was taught that being a housewife was a deadly disease. So I was surprised to find that taking care of my children all day was a better job than any I've ever had. Here's why I'm thankful I'm an at-home parent.
Ten Reasons I'm Thankful for My Husband
I confess that I take my husband for granted. Thanksgiving is a good time to remember him, though -- all the daily things he does to make my life so much easier and happier.
Seven Reasons I'm Thankful To Be a Mom
It's easy to remember all the trials and tribulations of motherhood. No sleep. Diapers. Money that disappears by magic and laundry piles that reproduce themselves. When I stop to think about it, though, the list of wonderful things about being a mother is much longer.
Seven Reasons I'm Thankful for Sex
Forget the Pilgrims: This Thanksgiving, let's remember to say thanks for the things we really love. Things like sex.
Ten Reasons I'm Thankful I'm (Almost) 50
I'm a much happier person than I was in my twenties and thirties. I'm old enough to realize that life is short, but still young enough to go out and enjoy it. Here's why it's great to be (almost) 50.
Fancy Parties for 1-Year-Olds Are a Waste of Money!
Throwing a fancy birthday party for a 1-year-old is like throwing your money down the toilet. The baby won't remember it, but that's a good thing because they aren't going to enjoy it, either.

Lawmakers in Washington have moved one step closer to putting forward a plan to overhaul the nation's immigration system.
Tuesday, an agreement was reached between agricultural workers and growers. That clears the way for the so-called Gang of 8 to reveal their legislation later this week.
Meanwhile, back here in Arizona, protesters are working to make sure a path to citizenship is included in any immigration reform.
They gathered in front of ICE headquarters in downtown Phoenix -- parents, workers and students -- more than 26 families separated from their loved ones during what they describe as discriminatory raids by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
"The message here today at ICE is about the deportation. Both of these women are suffering as their children are in the process of deportation. Both of these young women in their early 20's were caught working and are now in the process of deportation and maybe never seeing their family again," says Carlos Garcia.
Carlos Garcia, an organizer with Puente, says the group is fighting for the freedom of the two young women -- but also the tens of thousands of other undocumented people. Including members of Santa Cecelia, a band that performed at the rally.
"We've had to live through the fear of coming back to Arizona because well, in my case I'm undocumented as well, so we have been fearful of coming over here because we always hear about the laws that are being passed [like] SB 1070."
Puente is calling on Country Attorney Bill Montgomery to drop exaggerated charges against workers and will ask ICE to use its discretion to grant deferred action to those affected by Arpaio's raids.
"History shows that everybody in this country is an immigrant, we all come from somewhere else and they want to forget that fact very quickly."
Wednesday, tens of thousands of community, labor and immigrant rights supporters and immigrant families will converge on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol, urging congress to pass common sense immigration reform in 2013.
A group will be gathering at 4 p.m. at the state capitol Wednesday evening for a vigil, then they'll head to the airport later that night to take a red-eye to D.C.
Statement from County Attorney Bill Montgomery
While the individuals involved in the protest are exercising their First Amendment rights and focusing on their loved ones, identity theft is a real crime with real victims and that is the focus of this Office. Going from having the worst rate of identity theft in the nation in 2008 to the 8th worst in 2012 due mainly to the decrease in the number of incidents of employment-related fraud is evidence of successfully prosecuting these cases. While I will remain faithful to my oath of Office to uphold the U.S. constitution and the constitution and laws of Arizona, I will also advocate for fair and sensible federal immigration reform that secures our borders and protects our economy. I encourage all who share similar concerns about our failed immigration system to join me in this effort.

Shakira welcomes son Milan
Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Pique have welcomed their first son Milan Pique Mebarak
Shakira has given birth to a baby boy.
The 35-year-old Colombian singer and her 25-year-old footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique welcomed their son Milan Pique Mebarak into the world in a hospital in Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday (22.01.13), according to People En Espanol magazine.
Shortly before giving birth Shakira asked her fans to pray for her after she was admitted into the Teknon clinic, where she was scheduled to be induced.
The 'She Wolf' singer - whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll - appealed to her fans via Twitter, writing: ''I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak''
She also posted the same content in Spanish and was immediately inundated with messages of support from her fans across the world, wishing her good luck.
A source previously told Spanish newspaper La Razon that the couple scheduled the birth so that FC Barcelona footballer Gerard could be present during their baby's arrival.
The insider also revealed that the singer had requested a female only medical team, who all signed confidentiality agreements, assist her during the birth.
The blonde beauty was said to be feeling ''increasing discomfort'' ahead of the arrival of her son and was complaining of ''abdominal pressure.''
The 'Loca' has been dating soccer player Gerard for around two years and previously said he is the ''best thing'' to ever happen to her, until she got pregnant.
She said: ''This man is the best thing that could have happened in my life. And now the baby!''
Shakira only confirmed their relationship last year by posting a picture of them both together on Twitter and Facebook with a caption reading, ''I present to you my sunshine.'' in Spanish.
Last week the couple invited fans to join them at their virtual baby shower, where they can purchase essential baby gifts that will support UNICEF and benefit some of the world's most vulnerable babies.

White House press secretary Jay Carney insisted Wednesday that he would enroll in Obamacare were he not already covered by his federal health plan.
"If I did not have employer-provided health insurance ... I would absolutely enroll," Carney said during his daily briefing with reporters Wednesday.
But as Carney conceded, he won't enroll — at least as long as he works in the White House.
Starting Oct. 1, Americans who don't receive health coverage through their employers can sign up for Obamacare exchanges.
The White House launched a major public-relations push this week to convince skeptical Americans to sign up for the health program.

Median Calculation
The median is the value on the score scale that separates the top half of the group from the bottom half. Our calculation assumes that multiple values within a range are distributed evenly over the range. A calculation of this type results in a more complete set of values. (The traditional computation of median might result in values of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0. The OSU calculation results in values 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and so on to 6.0) . This calculation has been used for OSU student evaluations since 2004.
There is a good detailed explanation with examples on page 33 of "Measurement and Evaluation in Psychology and Education", Fourth Edition, by Robert L. Thorndike and Elizabeth P. Hagen.

text: content Study links vitamin D deficiency to sleep disorder Arab News (Saudi Arabia) 06-14-13 June 14--JEDDAH -- A Saudi study, the first of its kind worldwide, has discovered a link between the lack of Vitamin D and Restless Legs Syndrome, a sleep disorder found mostly among women. The syndrome is characterized by discomfort during rest, the urge to move the limbs, accompanied by abnormal sensations. The study was introduced during the annual meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in the US state of Baltimore. It showed improvement in the symptoms of some patients after taking compensatory doses of vitamin D as a treatment for other problems linked with osteoporosis or porous bones. Dr. Ayman Bader Kareem, chest disease and sleep disorders consultant in Jeddah, supervisor of the sleep disorders center at King Abdulaziz University, said that 12 patients with the syndrome were given high doses of vitamin D. "They all showed improvement of the symptoms without exception." Dr. Siraj Omar Walli, associate professor and director of The Sleep Medicine and Research Center in Jeddah, and one of the participants in the study, said the syndrome is a sleep disorder where patients complain, mostly women, of a strange and uncomfortable feeling in both legs, with the urge to move them. Doctors Afnan Shukur, Ayah Bodal and Ahmad Al-Syari from King Abdulaziz University participated in the study. ___ (c)2013 the Arab News (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) Visit the Arab News (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) at www.arabnews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services Copyright Arab News (Saudi Arabia) 2013 Articles featured in Life Extension Daily News are derived from a variety of news sources and are provided as a service by Life Extension.

Battlefield 4
UK Release Date:
US Release Date:
UK Publisher: Electronic Arts UK
US Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: DICE
Age Rating: ESRB Pending | PEGI Pending
If you pre-ordered the limited edition of Medal of Honor: Warfighter (our sympathies), then there is some good news in that you'll be given early access to the beta version of Battlefield 4 this autumn. In the meantime, we know very little about Dice's upcoming shooter, apart from the fact that it exists, it will probably take place on a battlefield at some point, and retailers GameStop appear to have seen it before everyone else.
Will it be any good? Our Magic-8 Ball says 'outlook good', considering how much we enjoyed Battlefield 3 and its handful of map packs.
VerdictRead the review
Although familiar to BF3, but BF4 remains a visually and sonically satisfying, reliably intense FPS. Improved by Commander Mode and a terrific and diverse map set.

HoopsHype Kyle O'Quinn rumors
Reserve Magic big man Kyle O'Quinn injured his right ankle during Wednesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks and sat out practice Thursday and today. He might not play when the Magic host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. O'Quinn's injury occurred with 2:01 remaining in Wednesday's third quarter. Orlando Sentinel
The Orlando Magic have signed rookie forward Kyle O'Quinn, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. NBA.com
The Magic and O'Quinn agreed to a three-year contract that the team is expected to announce Thursday. "It's pretty emotional," O'Quinn told the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday night. "It's kind of like the final stage to all the work you've put in. It's another big day." The contract is guaranteed for the first season at $788,000, said O'Quinn's agent, Alberto Ebanks. The Magic will hold team options for the second and third seasons, and if the team exercises both options, the contract will be worth a total of $2.5 million. Orlando Sentinel
It is one of the great rags-to-riches New York stories. Four years ago Kyle O'Quinn was graduating from Campus Magnet High in Queens with only one scholarship offer. On Wednesday night he signed a three-year, $2.5 million contract to play for the Orlando Magic of the NBA. "He couldn't be more excited," said Alberto Ebanks, his agent. "This is him fulfilling his dream, a dream a lot of people probably never envisioned." New York Daily News
The team currently has 13 players on its roster, including Howard and unsigned second-round draft pickKyle O'Quinn. Nelson and Chris Duhon are the only point guards, and the Magic definitely will enter the season with a third point guard. The team could bring back Ish Smith to compete with Duhon for the job as Nelson's backup. Orlando Sentinel

So Cute, But Did Blister
"I found these sandals true to size and wider than another pair of Madden Girls I own. I'd say they're a true mint-green with pinkish/mauve and slightly gold accents. These don't have a buckle, but elastic. While this is handy because I never undo the buckle anyway, the elastic did rub on my heel. I have only worn these once, while running around doing errands for about 7 hours, but I do hope that they'll become more comfortable with wear. Very cute! I'm pretty sure I'd buy again."

Cute sandals
"I'm happy with my purchase. The color is more of a mint blue than a mint green. I will be using these on my wedding vacation (destination wedding) so they are casual but can but dressed up too. I only gave it 4 stars, instead of 5, because the stone part could be a little bit more shiny."

Topic Overview
What is gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis is a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty after eating. The delay results in bothersome and possibly serious symptoms because digestion is altered.
What causes gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis occurs when the nerves to the stomach are damaged or don't work. Diabetes is the most common cause. Other causes include some disorders of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease and stroke, and some medicines, such as tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, and narcotics. It can also be a complication of gastric surgery.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms are intermittent and most often occur during and after a meal. They include:
Symptoms range from mild to severe. Severe symptoms of gastroparesis may improve with treatment using medicines that help the stomach empty more quickly (motility agents). In very severe cases, a feeding tube placed in the small intestine may be needed.
A person with gastroparesis also may have episodes of high and low blood sugar levels. Gastroparesis may be suspected in a person with diabetes who has upper digestive tract symptoms or has blood sugar levels that are hard to control. Controlling blood sugar levels may reduce symptoms of gastroparesis.
How is gastroparesis diagnosed?
A diagnosis is confirmed with one or more tests that show how quickly food leaves your stomach, including a radioisotope gastric emptying scan. For these tests, you will drink a fluid or eat some food containing a tiny amount of radioactive substance that will not harm you. This substance shows up on a special image, allowing a doctor to see food in your stomach and watch how quickly it leaves your stomach.
How is it treated?
Treatment for gastroparesis depends on the severity of the condition and may include:

Heartbreaking, absolutely devastating news tonight. According to Vancouver police, beloved Glee actor Cory Monteith has been found dead in a hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. The cause of death is not yet known, but foul play has apparently been ruled out. After Monteith reportedly missed check-out time, hotel staff found him deceased in his room. Cory was just 31 years old.
I'm completely reeling on this one. It's like a blow to the gut. Another inspiring, talented, insanely likable, and painfully young celebrity gone too soon. News like this makes you just want to hit rewind and then pause on the moment before you found out it was true. Cory Monteith, the guy who stole our hearts in that very first episode of Glee, gone from this world forever ...
More from The Stir: Lea Michele Releases Statement Addressing Cory Monteith's Devastating Death
Of course, we're all wondering if the addiction demons Monteith has been fighting (goddamn, I hate them) are to blame. Cory has spoken openly about his past history with drug and alcohol addiction. He entered rehab at age 19 but then managed to land the Glee gig at age 27. However, a few months ago, Monteith once again checked himself into rehab for "substance abuse, a program he completed at the end of April. Since then, he has been spotted on the red carpet, hanging out looking happy with girlfriend and Glee co-star Lea Michele, and back to work on the Season 5 set of Glee. Everything looked like it was on the up and up. And maybe it was. We still don't know ... An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
Our hearts go out to Monteith's friends and family and, of course, to Lea Michele. Their lives have been rocked and completely changed forever today. Please give them all strength.
We miss you so much already Cory!
Are you a Cory Monteith fan? Tell us what you love most about him.
Image via SplashNews
I am so saddened by his death. Gone way too young. I can understand how his family must be feeling. I lost 4 people close to me in the past 14 month. So much death. When will it end??
It still doesn't feel real to me. I'm afraid that I'll fall asleep, and I'll wake up thinking this was all a bad dream just to have my heart break all over again. He was an inspiration to me, and he was one of my personal heroes. I have been a fan of Glee since day one, and I feel like the past four years of my life have just come to an end. Glee won't be the same without him. The world won't be the same without him.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. It feels like a punch to the gut. I loved him on Glee. He was so talented and I admired him for getting help for his addictions. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and girlfriend. This is such a terrible tragedy.
I went on CNN to see if there was a anything new about Randy Travis and instead the headline about Corey jumped out at me. So unexpected I could've process that it was real for a minute. 31 is far to young. I'm sure family and cast mates are in shock today

Wire tip: Castle fans keep your eyes pealed for the shout out to episodes 17 (Tick, Tick, Tick...) and 18 (Boom!) from Season 2.
Review Copyright © of Tales of Whimsy.com
Great review Juju. I'll definitely need to add these to the wish list.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Juju! I've been wondering about this one. I grabbed it and then stacked it in the immense TBR mountain. Maybe i do need to start digging around in there..ReplyDelete
This is not really my cup of tea, but it sounds like it was a good one.ReplyDelete
oh adds to reading list just because of Nathan FillionReplyDelete
He's adorable! Did you see he won the People's Choice Award?Delete
I love Castle and have not read any of the Nikki Heat books yet...I have to get to that!ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to read this because I love the show.ReplyDelete
I always seem to forget how good crime thrillers are....I think I need to add more of these into my regular reading line-up....
Fun review..:D
This one is a crime novel but not a thriller by any means :)Delete
Better than the first? That IS rare. I'm glad you're enjoying this series. I haven't read the books, or watched much of the show for that matter. But now I feel like I'm missing out.ReplyDelete
Yes! Mission accomplished. I hope I convinced you to try it! ;)Delete
These look like so much fun! And clearly I need to watch Castle. :)ReplyDelete
Ha ha. I LOVE your enthusiasm in this review. :)ReplyDelete
Glad to know this was a satisfying read for you. I do love thrillers and watch Castle form time to time. So this one might be a good one to add to the ever growing list. Nice review.ReplyDelete
Well these aren't really thrillers but they are that special brand of Castle-fun that I'm sure you'll dig! :)Delete
I need to catch up on this series. I think there are only 3 out, and I've read the first one. Not what I usually read, but I had to make an exception for Castle. Great review!ReplyDelete
I feel ya! I don't read crime mysteries either but you're right these are worth the exception :)Delete
What? The show Castle is based on these books? Wow! I didn't know that. But then again, I don't watch much TV.
But I loved this: "It's like Heat Wave set the stage so Naked Heat could shine."
It is a rare find to discover that book two was even better than the first.
Believe it or not, it's the other way around. The books are based on the show. In the show Richard Castle has written books about his experience shadowing Kate Beckett. These are the books his character has written. :)Delete
I read this one last year, along with the first book. I didn't think they were masterpieces, but they were pretty fun (and I love how they tie in with the TV series). I need to get my hands on Heat Rises again (I had it from the library as an e-book, but I didn't get a chance to finish it).
I have a terrible time thinking in terms of Rook and Heat when I read these things; my mind always substitutes Castle and Beckett!
Right? *smile* It's hard not too!Delete
Eee, fun! I'm excited to finally get into these books soon. I haven't even had time to watch the show lately so clearly I need a Castle fix!ReplyDelete
:) Over the Christmas breaks, I had Castle withdrawals.Delete
I've never seen the show or heard of this series. I don't know this has happened.ReplyDelete
You must change that ;)Delete
I love the show...but now I want to read the books, too!!!
How are you feeling?
Are you managing everything?
If you love the show you must read the books :)
I'm feeling great. Tired but great. :) Thanks for asking dear.
I like the show, so I should try this!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful blog Juju! Looks like I have a long way to catch up with you in terms of followers :)
I've been meaning to read these - I'd love to do a blog post about the reverse adaptation process, of the books being made as a result of the television series, as opposed to the other way round.
Why thank you Danielle! And trust me, it will come. It takes time. I've been blogging since '09 :)
Brilliant idea for your blog! I would love to hear your thoughts.
I need to catch up on Castle. I've finished the first two seasons, but I've got a ways to go yet!ReplyDelete
Oooo you're doing good :) Don't ya love the show? I think it gets better and better.Delete
OK...I really need to bump this one up on my list! I think I need to move it to my TBR immediately list!!! And I watch way too much television...but Castle is my Favorite...I just love all of the characters and the relationships!!!!
♥ Melissa @ Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf
:) Castles my fav too! I couldn't agree more on the relationships.Delete
LOL sorry babe - I added a few mor pictures to my blog while you were commenting. This always happens! I forget some pictures I wanted to post so I go back and edit and in the mean time someone has already commented!
I had always wanted to be chosen for the Nielson rating too! It was actually a dream of mine! Then last year I got a post card in the mail! I was soo excited, I think I screamed out loud! I don't think there is anything you can do to be chosen, I think it is just random. But I must have done a good job because they choose me again! YAY!
1. Ahhh those are cutie pictures! :)
2. They contacted you? Tooo cool! Now I will have to dream that one day I too will be randomly selected.
Also check out Martina's blog - funny!ReplyDelete
Hey, how did you manage to get your comment system to have a "reply" feature?
Okey, okey.... you've convinced me to give this series a go even if it is not my usual read :)
1. YAY! Mission accomplished.
2. Regarding your question: It's new and happened automatically compliments of Blogger - hooray! It's possible that your specialty layout is inhibiting the feature.

Ah, will have to look into it and thanks for the url addy :)Delete
No problem darling :)
Good luck!
Sorry I couldn't offer you more help.
Hmm I don't have reply on mine either!Delete
I noticed it doesn't happen if you have your comments set to pop-up window. Try switching it to embedded below.Delete
i love a good suspense novel. and you can't guess who the killer is?? count me in!ReplyDelete
Yes! I love to discuss that when it pertains to mysteries. The whodunit factor is huge for me :)Delete
Can you believe I've never seen the series? My husband loves it, though. I'll have to tell him about the books.ReplyDelete
Your hubby loves the show? Awesome. Maybe you can get him the series for Father's Day?Delete
Okay, so now I really need to bump the first book up on my TBR list - especially since this one is even better! That's quite an accomplishment too, it's not too often that sequels fare better than the first novel.
Fabulous review :)
Right? :)
Thank you! :)
hmmm maybe I should read the second one instead of the first, since I haven't read either one. Hope this finds you well sweetie :)ReplyDelete
Thanks doll! And if you're a fan of the show and therefore don't need the back story - that's not a bad idea :)Delete
i need to read this series! i loved watching castle when it first came out and i have no idea why i stopped watching it. i need to pick the series back up and read the books too.ReplyDelete
Everyone I know loves this TV series and now the books! My book club even read this one and loved it.
Fabulous review! I think it may have even convinced me I need to make some wiggle room in my schedule for the series or the show. :o)
'Cause it's SO good! :) Ya gotta try both! :) It's something you and the hubs can enjoy together.Delete
I love the TV show!!! Going to have to read the books :)
I'm following you now and grabbed your button for my blog.
Danielle Smiley
Nice! And yes you must.
Fantastic! Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that :)
Oooh this makes me eager to finally read book one just so I can get to book two!ReplyDelete
:) I'm so glad to hear that.Delete
I love Castle but had been hesitant to try the books. Now I'm sold! Thanks, Juju!ReplyDelete
I hope you like it! Let me know what you think ;)Delete
I, too, LOVE Castle the show and have read all the books. This one is my favorite up to date. I don't know why, maybe it was better written. Great review!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting! :)
*high five* fellow Castle lover!
Have you tried the third book? :)

BROOKLYN NETS 2012-13 SEASON PREVIEW After years of playing in Newark and East Rutherford, the New Jersey Nets settled into their new home in Brooklyn for the 2012-13 season, undergoing one of the most remarkable one-year makeovers in the history of professional sports. The new silver and black Nets play in the ultra new state-of-the-art Barclays Center and have seriously revamped their roster to make a statement in a much bigger media market. While the 2011-12 Nets finished with a 22-44 record, the team suffered from injuries and didn't quite play up to its potential. With a series of new free agent acquisitions and a strong draft, the Nets could become a surprise playoff team in the Eastern Conference.
Heading into the offseason, the Nets' biggest priority was re-signing their best player, point guard Deron Williams, and they did just that by signing him to a five-year contract. The team also managed to retain midseason trade acquisition Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries, both of whom provide a solid presence by the basket. In the draft, the Nets took a series of developmental prospects, but may have found a gem in Tyshawn Taylor, a guard from Kansas who could see playing time behind Williams this fall. Of course, the biggest move of the offseason for the Nets was the trade with the Atlanta Hawks for shooting guard Joe Johnson, who provides an immediate upgrade to the team's scoring attack.
Rounding out the rest of the Nets' roster, the team is hoping to see continued improvement from center Brook Lopez, who is only 24 and has averaged 17.4 points per game over his career. If he can overcome his injury for the 2011-12 season, his presence could instantly bolster the Nets' attack on both sides of the floor. But like any team with playoff aspirations, it will come down to the Nets' bench to step up to give their starters a breather. Guards C.J. Watson and MarShon Brooks are players who will need to step up to give the team's big stars a chance to finish in the second half.
From top to bottom, the Brooklyn Nets boast a strong roster on paper, but ultimately it will come down to the team's health throughout the season and how quickly Joe Johnson and Deron Williams adjust to one another's style of play. Most importantly, having a true home court advantage in their new home could also pay dividends for the team's chances in the playoffs.
New Jersey Nets 2012 NBA Season Preview: The Nets are in one of those bubbles that are ready to pop at any moment—a team full of promise that can explode at any time. The 2011 season was one of turnover for the Nets (and we don't mean of the basketball) with a new coach in Avery Johnson and a mid-season trade that brought in All-Star point guard Deron Williams to group with fellow All Star, center Brook Lopez and the team's leading rebounder Kris Humphries. It didn't take long for Williams to get acclimated to the East Coast after his trade from Utah, and will look to build upon last season to take the Nets to the playoffs and beyond.
2010-2011 New Jersey Nets NBA Preview: The New Jersey Nets are coming off one of the worst seasons in NBA history. After going just 12-70 last season, New Jersey fans are hoping for a drastic improvement, and with a new owner, new general manager and new facility the franchise is certainly looking to distance itself from the 2009-2010 campaign.
Coach Avery Johnson comes in looking to replicate the success he had with the Dallas Mavericks, and the Nets have provided him with a bevy of new talent to address one of their greatest issues from last season - rebounding. They traded for Troy Murphy, and drafted Georgia Tech standout Derrick Favors with the third overall pick to improve their game down low. The Nets also drafted Damion James out of Texas, who should be a reliable scoring option.
The Nets also picked up Jordan Farmar, Joe Smith, Travis Outlaw and Anthony Morrow, who have all proven to be solid players. The team is still led by guard Devin Harris who was a lone bright spot on the New Jersey team last year.
While they may have improved their lineup significantly, the Nets will likely still miss out on the playoffs, as it is difficult to make that much of a jump in just one offseason.
2009-2010 New Jersey Nets NBA Preview: The New Jersey Nets head into the 2009-2010 NBA season with things looking positive. Head Coach Lawrence Frank has a young, talented roster that looks ready to contend for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He also has a new boss; Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov become majority owner of New Jersey in the off season. His cash should come in handy for building the Nets new arena in Brooklyn, and hopefully for signing a few more key players to help the Nets. So Nets fans have some good days to look forward to because New Jersey is a team on the rise.
2008-2009 New Jersey Nets NBA Preview: The New Jersey Nets are an NBA basketball team that have established themselves as one of the toughest teams in the Eastern Conference. The Nets are defensive specialists, and have developed a reputation for gritty play. In the 2008-2009 season, there will be much left to see where this team will be at the end of the year. With several trades taking place in the off-season, there will essentially be a new team to look forward to this season. Get ready to catch all the Nets action at the Izod Center this season!
Got great tickets, especially for ordering at the last minute. Will buy all my sports tickets here.Kathy - Taos, NM

Should Investors Buy This Healthcare Giant?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In August, the healthcare giant Aetna (NYSE: AET) announced plans to purchase Coventry Health Care (NYSE: CVH) for $5.7 billion. However, in an announcement earlier this week Coventry investors filed a lawsuit against the $5.6 billion takeover, saying that it unfairly enriches the company's top executives while shortchanging Coventry investors.
The deal values Coventry Health at $42.08, with the company currently trading around $41.80. The premium on Coventry Health's stock was 20% from the previous trading day. Coventry is expected to achieve strong future performance—revenues are predicted to be up 17% in 2012—with top line performance being driven by a Kentucky Medicaid contract that began in November, as well as additional Nebraska, Virginia and Missouri Medicaid contracts. These will help drive member growth, with an expected increase in 2012 of 36,000 Medicare Advantage and 373,000 Medicare Part D members.
Aetna joins its top competitors in a rush to break into the Medicare and Medicaid provider industry. Among Aetna's biggest rivals are WellPoint (NYSE: WLP) and CIGNA (NYSE: CI). Both of these companies made key acquisitions within the past year to help give them more exposure to the Medicare-Medicaid industries.
WellPoint purchased AMERIGROUP for almost $4.5 billion, in a deal that makes the combined companies the largest private Medicaid enterprise by membership. WellPoint is expecting operating revenue to rise almost 2% in 2012, and operating EPS of $7.45 compared to 2011′s $7.00 total. However, the company's CEO stepped down a month ago, in part due to several large investors being disappointed over company execution. AMERIGROUP is expected to increase premium revenues by 40% in 2012, driven by expansion in existing markets and entry into Louisiana, expansion in Texas and the May 1 acquisition of Health Plus. Health benefits costs are expected to rise to 86% of premium revenues (health benefits ratio), from 2011's 83.7% mark.
Cigna purchased HealthSpring for $3.8 billion, which will build up the company's Medicare business. The HealthSpring acquisition added about 365,000 Medicare Advantage and over 850,000 Medicare Part D members to Cigna's member count. The company is expected to increase revenue 38% in 2012. The one downside to the HealthSpring acquisition was it has increased the firm-wide medical cost ratio. However, the company beat 2Q estimates by posting $1.49 EPS, versus estimates of $1.47, and saw its 2012 EPS estimates increased by $0.07.
The three pension funds listed in the Coventry Health lawsuit claim that the company's board failed to shop around for the highest price. The funds are seeking a court order to block the deal from being completed, claiming that Coventry investors are only receiving a 20% premium while other recently-acquired insurers received over 40%. The WellPoint buyout of AMERIGROUP was at a 43% premium, while the Cigna acquisition of HealthSpring was at about a 38% premium.
If the takeover is completed, Aetna appears to have finally found what it has been looking for: a company that can give it exposure to government-based health plans. Aetna, primarily a commercial health insurance provider, would then have exposure to Medicare and Medicaid based plans through Coventry Health. By acquiring Coventry Aetna's share of revenue from its government business would grow to over 30%, from its current level of 23%. The acquisition is expected to add around $0.45 to EPS in 2014 and $0.90 in 2015.
A 40% premium on the Coventry purchase would add another $1 billion to Aetna's valuation. Although this might not be much for a healthcare giant like UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH), which has a market cap in excess of $50 billion and over $11 billion in cash, it could be significant for Aetna. Aetna has a market cap of $13 billion (just over double that of Coventry Health), while Aetna has less than a $1 billion in cash. UnitedHealth also gained additional exposure to Medicare Advantage members through its February 2012 acquisition of XLHealth, which is expected to add 117,000 members—find out if UnitedHealth is a good investment.
