Jumps 31 and 32
Jump 31 is simple enough, but 32 takes some finding. You'll actually pick up a 4-star wanted level for even attempting it as you're enter the restricted area. By the time the cops realise you're inside, you should have made it to the staircase. Yes, on your motorbike.
Just head forward and left from the entrance to find the stairs, then follow the video. But be very careful not to go too fast over the ramp across to the first roof - it's very easy to overshoot. Once you've nailed the jump, there's a ramp in the garden to get you over the wall and on your way to freedom.
Jumps 33-35
We say goodbye to Alonquin and hello to the fourth and final main island, Alderney. The jumps are pretty straightforward here, but that didn't stop us from falling off at every opportunity. It still registers, though.
This is the north of the island - the map can get confusing this close in.

Migraine: The Future of Migraine Therapy (cont.)
That's when everything starts hurting, Solomon tells WebMD. The pain-nerve cells are stuck in the "on" position. The slightest touch or movement hurts. Even the pulse of blood in your brain causes pain. Your intestinal system gets thrown out of whack, too, by the onset of nerve chemicals. You feel nauseous, you throw up, you get diarrhea. Your hands and feet grow cold. The color drains from your face.
There's nothing pretty about having a migraine.
Not everyone has this threshold or central sensitization effect, researchers say. Luckily, these patients can take existing painkillers such as Motrin, Advil, Excedrin, or certain prescription pain drugs. These are nearly 100% effective in kicking their headaches, says Solomon.
But most people with migraines need more effective drugs. They must take them before the headache lasts an hour. After that, some relief will come, but usually not enough.
Too many people ignore those very early symptoms, Solomon tells WebMD. "These people get lots of headaches, which are often tension headaches, and they hope against hope that this one isn't a migraine. So by the time the window is past, it's too late to stop it."
In the early days of migraine research, a class of drugs called ergots (short for ergotamines, such as dihydroergotamine or DHE) was aimed at stopping migraine pain in progress. Then came the triptan drugs, which were even more effective at halting pain. They include:
Both ergot and triptan drugs are still prescribed today, Solomon says. However, because both drugs work to constrict swollen blood vessels, not all patients can take them. "If a patient has heart disease or high blood pressure, they just can't take those drugs," he tells WebMD.
Preventing Migraines in the First Place
More recently, to try to stop migraine headaches from developing at all, doctors have prescribed drugs used to treat other disorders. These drugs are taken daily to suppress the brain chemical or blood vessel activity that leads to migraines. The hope is to prevent a migraine from getting started. These drugs include:
"All these are able to keep migraines from happening," says Silberstein. The problem with most, however, is side effects. Topamax can cause numbness, tingling, heat sensations, slowed thinking, and weight loss. Some calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, and Depakote can cause weight gain.
"The bottom line is, you pick side effects," says Silberstein. "I tell the patient, 'This drug may have cognitive side effects in some people, may make you lose weight, or here's one that may make you gain weight. Which one do you choose?' With Topamax, you know right away if you'll have side effects. With the others, the side effects [such as weight gain] sneak up on you."
Despite all these advances, some patients still suffer. "One in 10 migraine patients cannot tolerate certain migraine medications. So we're better than we were, but we're still not perfect," Silberstein notes.
For some desperate people, the muscle-paralyzing drug Botox, usually given via injection to facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, is a saving grace, he says. "Botox seems to work for patients who get frequent migraines, more than those with infrequent ones. If it works, the treatment is every three or four months." However, Botox treatments can be expensive. "Sometimes insurance covers it, but often it doesn't," he notes.
Finding the Window of Vulnerability
In another approach to the goal of preventing migraine headaches, Silberstein and other researchers have looked at "drug timing." This involves finding the window of vulnerability, a critical time period for migraine headache sufferers. If patients can take their drugs just at this point instead of ongoing, some side effects can be offset. They'll also take less medication, cutting out-of-pocket costs.
Two recent studies of menstrual-related migraines produced the first scientific evidence for a pattern of vulnerability in migraine headaches. Researchers say their findings could apply to other types of migraines, not just menstrual headaches.
It's an exciting finding. If altitude changes are your nemesis, then taking a long-acting triptan drug twice a day on the day before you go skiing in Utah and continuing it for a week may nip your migraine from starting at all.
New migraine drugs are also on the horizon. "A lot of drugs are coming down the pipeline, drugs that work by different mechanisms," says Silberstein. One is a class of enzyme-blocker drugs, such as Aricept, currently prescribed to treat mild to moderate confusion related to Alzheimer's. This drug is a contender for migraine prevention, he tells WebMD.
Alternative Choices for Migraine Pain
While medications are the mainstay of migraine treatment, they're not a cure-all. For women who are pregnant or hoping to be, supplements are a safe alternative. For people who can't get enough relief from prescriptions or who dislike the side effects, supplements can also help.
"Almost anyone, including children, can take magnesium," DeRossett tells WebMD. "The only side effect is diarrhea. Some people get it, some don't. For some, it's dependent on how high the dosage is."

fixations, rants, & flights of fancy

Look, let's talk summer recipes. The sexiest thing you can say to me after "Avengers Nude Fro-Yo Wrestling" is "No-Bake".
My favorite side/lunch/snack/dinner in the summer happens to be flash picked cucumbers. The key to this shit is finding the right cucumbers. I fucking love them. Beauty accessories and food. What more can I ask of a vegetable? Any cucumber will do in a pinch, but for the truly lazy and those that have a refined palate (haha), you have to go find Persian Cucumbers. Persian cucumbers are the sexiest motherfucking vegetables you will put in your mouth. 1) You don't have to peel them and 2) They are slightly sweet, but retain that typical cucumber zest and refreshing quality. Half the time, I end up just eating a whole one like a goddamn churro.
🔪3-4 Persian Cucumbers (preferably organic)
🔪Medium Sized Bowl
🔪Apple Cider Vinegar (preferably organic)
🔪1 tsp Turbinado Sugar
🔪Water (preferably purified)
🔪Fresh Ground Peppercorn (optional)
Wash and then slice the cucumbers into the desired "chip" size.
Toss them into a bowl and pour apple cider vinegar over the veggies until you've coated the bottom of the bowl and the cucumbers are floating. (I have no idea how much vinegar you need, just eyeball it.)
Add in a teaspoon of the sugar.
Add maybe 1/4 a cup of purified water. You're going for a 3 to 1 ration on the vinegar and water.
Mix it.
Grind fresh peppercorn to taste.
Profit. (You can eat it now, or refrigerate it for a few hours and then eat it.)
I think I'll try this.

I'm just asking to save some time if someone has done this already namely new action for Story to edit a story.
Pointers in the right direction are welcome. I was thinking of borrowing the concept from "shove it" button with Ajax but then decided that with my level of understanding I am better off changing the behaviour of creating a new story to suit the needs of editing instead. Then there is deleting a specific Story. Both require links beside the story name in the _story partial as I understand it.
Thanks in advance!

Streamline Health Solutions Inc. Stock Downgraded (STRM)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Technology industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 650.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.49 million to -$2.71 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Technology industry and the overall market, STREAMLINE HEALTH SOLUTIONS's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$2.71 million or 266.60% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- STREAMLINE HEALTH SOLUTIONS has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, STREAMLINE HEALTH SOLUTIONS reported poor results of -$0.47 versus $0.00 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.02 versus -$0.47).
- STRM's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.73 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.92 is weak.

1 out of 1 people recommended this car.
by truck lover from slc,utah | August 26, 2010
The truck van, has the usual gmc traits, that is it is reliable,has the 5.7 liter eng that has been in production since 1955. all parts are avail for repair or upgrade it will carry a good size load with people, it will also tow a good amount of weight i.e. boats, buggys, car trailers,camping trailers etc. one very good point is that it is repairable by any repair shop, back yard mech or dealer tech. ok the drawbacks are . the vehicle is heavy, the parts are heavy, thus the fuel consumtion is that of an era gone by. the vehicle can do the job what ever it is , but witha price. over all if you need somehting tha can move or tow a house, have all your friends or family with then the vehicle fits the bill...........

Was GREAT and so easy and fast. I don't you need quite as many vegetables though. I used red cabbage, half an onion, no carrots and everything as listed and it was a ton. Will definitely make again. For a family dinner or guests.

Since 1744 the Gap Mines have found copper deposits in shafts 60' to 280' deep in this area in the northwestern section of Bart Town-ship. After vicissitudes aplenty, the Gap Mining Company opened again on a larger scale. In the summer of 1856, two acres were donated by them for an Episcopal Church and cemetery.
The English style 30' x 60' building with a seating capacity of two hundred and a value of $2,000 was voluntarily subscribed, opening September 27, 1858. B. B. Kilikelly of All Saints, Paradise, was pastor. The mines closed, the personnel scattered, and the work was discontinued.
The Gap mines opened as early as 1744 for the mining of copper, discarding the nickel matter in the ore dug from shafts, sixty to two hundred and eighty feet deep. Five companies at various times tried to make this profitable and then for forty years the mines were entirely closed. In 1849 the chartered Gap Mining Company opened again on a larger scale. In 1853 one of the miners discovered nickel, and then the mining for nickel began. An independent company a mile to the north in Paradise Township built a smelting plant for the nickel mines. For these two projects a store and twenty-three dwell- ing houses were necessary, and a hundred and fifty men were employed.
With this personnel hereabouts, the Grace Church Episcopal Con-gregation of Bart Township received for $5 a plot of one acre, 82 perches from the Gap Mining Company on July 20, 1857, on the Georgetown-London Grove Tavern Road. The church, 30' x 60' built after the early English pointed style with a seating capacity of 200 and a value of $2000 voluntarily subscribed, was dedicated Septem-ber 27, 1858. B. B. Killikelly, pastor of All Saints, Paradise, held services every two weeks with Sunday School six months of the year. As the mining industry subsided by the turn of the century, the people disappeared, too, and the house was deserted and neglected.
In 1935 David S. High of Sunnyside bought a farm adjoining the church and placed the Rintz family of Sunnyside on it. They to-gether had a conviction that mission work should be opened here. Hence Sem Eby, Musser S. Herr, Jacob T. Harnish, and David S. High canvassed the community and found a favorable outlook and a real need. It was taken up with the Mission Board, who referred it to the ministry of the Paradise Church. The latter opened Sunday school on September 29, 1935, with 110 present. David S. High was appointed superintendent, but due to his work at Sunnyside, almost from the start it devolved upon the assistant, Edgar Denlinger. The secretary- treasurer was Reuben W. Newswanger. John C. Hershey was the chorister.
In these thirty years souls have been saved, workers have been inspired and blessed and some have been trained here for work in many other fields. Elva F. Newswanger in 1941 went on to Cottage City and for some years as Mrs. Harry Gascho at Wood River, Nebraska, but now at Cass Lake, Minnesota, is serving her Lord in this North Central Conference Mission Field. In 1942 Irene Stauffer went to Tampa to the Sharon School and was serving there for many years, but now is so serving at the Christopher Dock Men-nonite School, near Souderton. In 1942, December 27, the first church wedding was held here, when Kenneth Smoker and Rhoda M. Newswanger, two of the workers, were married. Since, they have been serving at Seventh St., Reading, in the Missouri field, Conway, Kansas, Madisonville, La. and more recently back at Kansas again. October 16, 1949, Edgar Denlinger the Superintendent was ordained at Paradise for the E. Brewton, Alabama field, and has found his field of service in the Deep South since. Paul White who was a worker in 1933 and Summer Bible School Superintendent two years, is now at Calling Lake, Alberta. Paul E. Mast who was ordained as Pastor Janu-my 20, 1952, moved to Lansing, North Carolina, by the spring of 1956. Elizabeth Denlinger, who served here prior to answering the Tampa, Fla. call, was a standby herein for many years and is now In the Strasburg-Paradise area as a home maker. Ellen Eby, now the wife of Harold F. Shearer, of Immokalee, Florida, Migrant project. and Miriam Weaver wife of Luke G. Stoltzfus, Diamond St., PhillI-e de'lphia, both received valuable experience and training here for their future opportunities of serving the Master. Amos W. Weaver became an area pastor and principal of Lancaster Mennonite School as a result If the application to the work here. In fact John W. Winters recieved some training there prior to till' Oxford Circle, Philadelphia, mission field entry. But not all deserted the local field, for John C. Hershey has been faithfully holding the fort since it opened. C. Marvin Eshelman is the present pastor since July 4, 1956, and since July 21, 1963, David N. Wadel also serves here and at Mt. Pleasant. New faithful faces can be seen on the average Sunday as sixty or more or less assemble to enjoy the feasts at the Lord's Table. In 1965 the church and cemetery became the property of the Trustees of the Nickel Mines Mennonite Church. John C. Hershey is the Sunday School Superintendent with an attendance of 41 and an aver-age of 34. David N. Wadel had charge of the 1965 Summer Bible School with an attendance of 185 and an average of 200. The work continues under the blessings of the Lord.

Until then, Goodall said, the industry only received money from wagering.
The ballot measure earmarked 7 percent of slot revenue for the state's horse racing purse account, an annual boon of tens of millions of dollars that encouraged owners and breeders nationwide to believe Maryland — which once ranked among the top three states for foal production — might again compete.
After casinos began operating in 2010, purses at Maryland tracks swelled from about $160,000 a day to nearly $300,000.
While most of the new slots revenue went to purses, 11 percent was set aside for "bred funds" — money meant to motivate breeders to remain in the state.
Until this month's agreement, that only paid for the 17.5 percent bonuses, which compared so poorly to the regional standard of 30 percent that many breeders and trainers had little choice but to leave the state, said Pons, co-owner of Country Life Farm in Harford County and Merryland in Baltimore County.
Pons said it was likely he and others in his situation would have had to sell their land — probably to developers — and relocate to states with more racing-friendly rules.
"I think almost every breeding farm in Maryland would have lost out to the competitive disadvantage we were facing," Pons said. "It was sort of like running a restaurant that didn't have a liquor license. You could have great food and take care of your patrons with world-class service, but you still couldn't compete.
"It is not a stretch to say that every breeding farm in Maryland would have gone extinct," he said.
Industry leaders discussed increasing the bonus for years, but it wasn't until 2012, when O'Malley asked the racing commission to set up the task force, that a push began in earnest.
Everyone, Pons said, agreed the bonus disparity was the key factor. During more than 100 hours of meetings, the group developed a number of formulas and ideas, taking them to the horse breeders' and horsemen's associations and the Maryland Jockey Club, which owns Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park, for input.
A rift emerged between the breeders' and horsemen's organizations, largely because Maryland's horsemen — mainly trainers and owners — already were paying half the cost of building new stalls at Maryland tracks and had agreed to buy more racing dates with money from the purse account.
Linda Gaudet, a longtime owner and breeder in Prince George's County, mainly sided with the horsemen and still finds herself frustrated with the new deal. She doesn't understand why the parties agreed to granting 30 percent bonuses to breeders right away while phasing it in for owners.
"My question is, why couldn't we wait until all the casinos were up and running, then have the 30 percent for everyone? Or at least, until then, divvy it up 20 percent for breeders, 20 for owners, to keep it fair," she said.
With so many stakeholders, Pons said, it's hard to please everyone.
Pons, who just attended the Keeneland Auction in Kentucky, a national auction of yearlings, said friends from around the country told him they were excited about Maryland's new prospects and might bring their business back to the state.
Next weekend marks the Fasig-Tipton Fall Yearlings Auction at the Maryland State Fairgrounds, a major regional event. More than 80 Maryland-bred horses will be auctioned, and Pons said he expects the animals to fetch prices as much as 25 percent higher than last year.
Greentree Road's modest triumph netted less than $1,000 for breeder Glade Valley Horse Farms in Frederick. He brought in the 17.5 percent bonus, or $525, for owner Ben Mondello of New York.
Neither could be reached for comment Thursday, but to Pons, the payouts had the kind of meaning many a long-suffering Baltimore sports fan could relate to.
"We [in the industry] were a bit like the Orioles during their, what was it, 15 down years? We were getting used to losing," he said. "That's a hard thing to turn around, but they did it. It's hard for me to impart what this has done for morale."

So I've never seen Frozen before, and people keep bothering me to see it. So I caved and decided to just rent it from Redbox. And at the scene right after Elsa used her powers at her coronation party, the DVD actually froze and would not play. I restarted everything three times and it freezes at the same moment.
Oh the painful irony.
The story behind this; my friend and I were talking about video games, then Left 4 Dead came up, and as soon as he mentioned the witches at the Sugar Mill on Left 4 Dead 2, for some reason I thought of the Crocodile Hunter. And then this came out.
(I also meant to say 'oy' but my phone changed it and by the time I noticed it, it was too late)
So I tried false eyelashes for the first time ever. I like them, but I'm afraid that if I blink while wearing them, I may knock over a couple buildings and cause a dustbowl.
Overall I liked how it turned out. But I need to bring the eyeshadow up more to create a better smokey eye effect. Also I need to get a smaller set of false eyelashes so I can actually wear my glasses instead of have them at the tip of my nose.
I'd have to go with blue on this one. I mean, think about it; flight is not only an awesome power, but it's also practical. You wouldn't need to spend thousands of dollars on a car (unless you want to use one for things like shopping trips and the like) and think of the money you'd save not having to get gas. Plus, it would make trips shorter because you'd be able to skip all that traffic bullshit.
Adding on other reasons, say you're a bit on the short side, no need for a ladder to reach the higher shelves in a cupboard, or needing one to change lightbulbs in ceiling lights.
And if you're feeling a bit evil, you could drop all kinds of crap on unsuspecting people below and make a quick getaway.
After seeing a bunch of "how to care for introverts" BS on my facebook, here's my rebuttal against it.
After thirty minutes of careful application and a TON of hairpins and hair pulling later, I feel a tiny bit badass/pretty looking like this. Yay for me.

Two weeks after he quit the Bayreuth festival amid controversy over a Nazi tattoo, a Russian opera singer has called the swastika-like symbol on his chest a heraldic crest: "I am an artist, and I came up with it on my own," said Yevgeny Nikitin, who will perform in New York next year. "It's just my fantasy."
In late June, Bayreuth was plunged into controversy when a German TV programme reported that Nikitin had several neo-Nazi tattoos. He eventually dropped out of the festival's production of Wagner's The Flying Dutchman, saying that the tattoos were done in his youth and that he "was not aware of the extent of the irritation and offence these signs and symbols would cause".
Nikitin has since admitted that one large tattoo, which seemed to resemble a swastika, was started in 2006.
In a new interview with the New York Times, the 38-year old singer has denied that his most controversial tattoo had anything to do with swastikas or Nazism. "It's just an eight-pointed star with a shield on it, an axe, a sword crossed with a helmet on top," he said. "What is wrong with that?" The tattoo had to be inked in stages, he explained, because it "started bleeding", and in earlier phases it may have resembled a swastika. The tattoo was finally finished this year.
Nikitin said he failed to realise that the tattoo could have been mistaken for something else. "It just escaped me at the time. I was immersed in my art, my career," he said.
"I have absolutely no affinity for or connection to any neo-Nazi or fascist movement, nor have I ever in the past," he added. "Nazism in particular has been the source of great personal grief and loss. My two grandfathers were both killed by Nazi forces during the second world war."
The singer also said that he did not write the statement issued upon his departure from Bayreuth. "When I told them the truth [about the heraldic crest] ... the administration of Bayreuth told me that we can't publish it, because nobody's going to believe you," Nikitin recalled. "Since I was leaving, I gave them carte blanche to say what they wanted to preserve the festival ... I read the statement and said 'fine', and left."
"From what I understand ... he's guilty of being naïve and ignorant," said Peter Gelb, general manager of New York's Metropolitan Opera. "That doesn't disqualify you from singing on the stage of the Met."
Nazism is a sensitive issue for the Bayreuth festival, which only stages the work of Richard Wagner. The composer, who died in 1883, often expressed antisemitic views in his writings and was the favourite composer of many Nazi leaders.
Wagner's daughter-in-law, Winifred Wagner, who headed the festival under Nazi rule, was a strong admirer of Adolf Hitler.
The festival is run by his great granddaughters Katharina Wagner and Eva Wagner-Pasquier.

The fast-moving grass fire that threatened 30 homes and torched 31 acres east of Napa last Tuesday was apparently touched off by the blade of a mower being used by a resident to cut grass, CalFire Assistant Chief Dave Shew has told the .
The fire in the 1400 block of Coombsville Road was reported at 1:52 p.m. and was contained by firefighters by 3 p.m., according to CalFire Battalion Chief Pete Munoa.
Munoa said no structures were damaged during the fire and that no evacuations were necessary.
The grass fire was in a residential neighborhood with many single-family homes located on large parcels of land, Munoa said.
The blaze was moving toward Napa's Alta Heights neighborhood, where evacuations were considered but not carried out.
Ninety firefighters from Cal Fire, Napa County and the Napa Fire Department utilized 13 fire engines, two hand crews, two bulldozers, an air tanker and a helicopter, Munoa said.

Sunday Valley Becomes 'Sturgill Simpson & High Top Mountain Boys'
There's been a lot of flux in the independent country world over the last few days. The first bombshell was that bass player, de-facto manager, and right hand man of Whitey Morgan for years, Jeremy Mackinder was leaving Whitey's band The 78′s.
Now Sturgill Simpson, the dynamic force behind the band Sunday Valley, who is on the tail end of completing what Sturgill hopes to be his breakthrough album, has decided to go with a name change to "Sturgill Simpson & The High Top Mountain Boys" out of respect to the side players who are no longer with the band. From Sunday Valley's Facebook Page:
Welp kids,…Lord knows it's been a long road with a great many tears of joy and sadness and some very hard lessons learned but I know I speak for all four original members of Sunday Valley when I say we gave it everything we had and then some. Out of respect and honor for Billy, Gerald, & Eddie and the sacrifices we all have made for this thing over the years, I could never under any circumstances feel good about continuing my musical journey under the Sunday Valley name.
There are no words I can think of that would possibly express our love and appreciation for you all and your support over the last 8 years…it means more than you could ever know. New band, new sound, new album coming very soon…as they say, the next chapter is always better, that's why we turn the page.
"To the wind and on to heaven…"
I would not characterize this as a breakup. The side men of Sunday Valley have been in a state of flux over the last few years. It is always difficult to run under a band name instead of the individual's name when a band is really one person's musical vision instead of a collaboration between a group of people like in the traditional band setup. This new name allows the spotlight to be on Sturgill Simpson where it belongs, while also preserving the legacy of the side players that have made up "Sunday Valley" over the years.
The only potential drama here is that all the burgeoning momentum that was building behind the name "Sunday Valley" has to now traverse the sometimes shaky ground of a name change. At the same time, it is better to make the change now instead of after the new album comes out and even more momentum builds behind a doomed band name.
"I am attempting to make what I believe to be the purest, most uncompromising Hard Country album anyone has heard in 30 years," Sturgill tells Saving Country Music, "And it will be an effort to revitalize the neo-traditional movement spearheaded by two of my idols and fellow Kentuckians (Skaggs & Whitley) back in the 80′s. This record is coming straight from my heart and it is both an effort to pay homage to my family and the music they raised me on as well as my own attempt to return in my heart to a home that no longer exists."
"High Top Mountain is located near the Kentucky River on Stray Branch in Breathitt County, Kentucky and is home to High Top Cemetery, the final resting place of many past generations of my family."
Sunday Valley may be gone, but the constant is still Sturgill's singular talent as a songwriter, performer, and guitar player, and as long as that remains in place, the music will sound great under any name.

I decided to get this food and bottle warmer, along with all the other products from the Avent range. At first it was useful, especially as it meant that I didn't need to go downstairs boil the kettle at 4 in the morning and then wait for the bottle to warm up. All you need to do is just out the bottle in,mselect whether to bottle is frozen, refrigerated or room temperature and then how many ounces are in the bottle and then off it goes! Granted, it isn't the quietest thing in the world but thankfully doesn't take too long. It takes less than 2 minutes to warm up a refrigerated 5 ounce feed and as you can have it plugged in either next to the bed or in the nursery so then you don't need to disturb baby as much by taking them downstairs whilst you warm a bottle, or leaving them crying in their cot until you manage to come back upstairs with a nice warm bottle of milk in the middle of the night.
I am now using this bottle warmer for my second daughter, so when she first starts to make noises, I get the bottle straight in the bottle warmer and then by the time it's ready, she's just starting to wake so there isn't any point where she starts screaming. So no chance of having a newborn AND a toddler awake at the early hours.
The warmer gives so many options. You can warm bottles of milk and also jars of food, you select whether it is frozen, chilled or at room temperature and the quantity from either 1 ounce right up to 11 ounces. I found this so useful, that I got one for a friend as a baby gift and she shares the same opinions as me. It was definitely worth every penny and means you don't have to boil the kettle, or put the bottle in the microwave and then have the problem of the bottle being too hot or having to keep putting it in for another 5 seconds and checking time after time. The Avent Food & Bottle warmer is programmed to know just how long to warm for so there isn't a problem of whether the milk is too hot or too cold. I can't fault it!!!
vWhen you have a new baby you want to be prepared. Even though you know babies have been coming since primeval times and they certainly didn't need a Fisher Price jungle playgym for the baby to develop, sometimes you want to give yourself every advantage in helping your newborn in life.
What is the Avent Bottle Warmer?
The Avent Bottle Warmer is one such luxury which really isn't necessary but is definitely useful, rather than having to boil water, you simply measure out how much milk or food needs heating and push some buttons and the warmer heats your bottles by boiling the water to ensure that the milk is heated to the right temperature for your baby.
Where Did I buy it, how much did it cost?
Firstly, I would say that we bought our Avent Bottle warmer about 8 months ago and soon afterwards they stopped selling them on Amazon, we paid £35.99 at the time and it would appear that a newer model has subsequently been released, but its reviews on Amazon aren't as good for this product.
What does it look like?
Basically this is about 30cm tall, about 18cm wide and weighs about 300grams. It is pretty simple looking with a pure white sheen and the Avent symbol on the front and an opaque blue lid, there are a couple of push buttons on the front with small Led lights, which aren't the same as the picture in related to this review, these are all you need to warm the bottles (We use Avent bottles, but you can use other brands just check before using them).
How to use the Avent Food Warmer
So you get a bottle of milk out of your fridge, your freezer or from room temperature. You have to put in water depending on the size of container being used, whether this is an avent bottle or food container, then you push buttons to display if it is frozen, chilled or at room temperature, and then press a further button to choose the amount of milk in the bottle. Hold down the start button and the bottle warmer begins heating the water and the bottle.
Generally for a normal sized bottle warming takes about 2 minutes and is pretty convenient when you have a screaming baby desperate for food, although you can't hold a baby and measure the water, or take the heated bottle from the warmer, as the bottle is boiling hot as is the water and you could risk burning yourself or baby.
Is it worth the money
So far, I have found this to be useful and convenient, although you do have to put baby down for a few minutes to set the warmer up and to remove the bottle afterwards, I have also burnt myself on a couple of occasions pouring the boiling water into the sink after use, this is because you have to hold the warmer and the lead when you move it, thus making tipping it awkward, add to it the oblong nature of the warmers lid and the water doesn't pour out naturally so, if like me you hold onto the lid to get some leverage you are liable to burn your hands.
Overall I would say you can easily get by without one of these, it is a luxury which helps but isn't vital to feeding your baby, it takes a few goes to remember how to use it, however the instructions provided are very clear and simple, I have occasionally found the product annoying on night feeds as baby cries and you have to leave them to set things up, but for the time it saves, overall it is a really good product which I think will be worth the money paid for it in no time at all.
When our little one graced us with her presence early last month we were under no illusion we would be spending a great deal of time preparing bottles and consequently feeding them to our baby. So when we saw that Philips offered a bottle warmer in their Avent range that we had already invested quite heavily in, we presumed this would be a great time saving device as it would heat the bottles to the right temperature without the need to run them under the cold tap for some time after getting side tracked and leaving them to stand in hot water for too long.
Upon removing the bottle heater from the packaging I was initially quite impressed with the sturdiness and the fact it was only a case of slipping the internal plastic sleeve into warmer designed to keep the bottle off of the main case which houses the heating element. The bottle warmer looks stylish enough to grace most kitchen surfaces without looking out of place, with a predominantly white outside, one silver dial on the front to enable different quantities of milk or food to be precisely heated, and a red light that extinguishes to let you know it is up to temperature. There is a quick guide on the side of the appliance showing how long it takes to heat different quantities of milk. The heater has a fairly long power cord allowing it to be positioned conveniantly amoungst our other kitchen appliances.
Now initially we thought that this warmer was a brilliant idea and there is no denying it does what it says on the tin and heats our bottles through without the risk of hotspots in our babies milk which can occur when standing bottles in boiling water from the kettle. The device is nice and easy to use needing to be filled with water plugged in and the switched on at the back then the bottle stood in for the required amount of time until the little red light goes out.
The quick guide on the side of the warmer is pretty accurate, however there is no auto cut out, (I was expecting it to work like a kettle and turn off once heated) so if preoccupied changing baby and the red light goes out it will kick back in again once the water surrounding the bottle cools meaning the bottle keeps getting hotter. This has also caused a problem when heating a bottle in the middle of the night and in my sleepy state I have forgot to switch the bottle warmer off. Thankfully I realised my mistake half hour later and returned to the warmer to find it had almost boiled dry. I would not have like to placed a bet on the fuse blowing before we had some form of a fire on our hands. Not ideal with a baby in the house.
We paid £18 for this product and my initial thoughts of this being a device of conveniance were suddenly overcast by the safety issues of using something that dosen't switch off completely once it has heated to the desired temperature. Hindsight is a great thing and I really do wish I had read a few reviews before buying this product as quite a few of them seem to agree with my point of few on the safety issues.
So in summary I would advise to steer clear of this specific product, the digital version of this bottle warmer may be better but at over £50 I think I will be reverting back to the good old fashioned jug of water to heat our bottles (with a good shake before testing the temperature to prevent forementioned hotspots). I am disappointed that I cannot recommend this product as I have had no problems with the rest of the Avent range including sterilizers and bottles to name a couple and would not hesitate to recommend these but as said above I cannot recommend this specific product.
Overall this product seems like a good idea on the face of things when viewing in store and there is no doubt it does the job it is supposed to but I'm going to have to say from my point of view this is a gimmicky if slightly dangerous add on to the Avent range in an effort to seperate us from our hard earned pennies.
My husband bought this bottle warmer in a rush when we decided breast feeding was not for me. We had got tommee tippee bottles from my mum when she bought the steriliser but anyway the bottles fitted in the avent warmer no problem. It has a guide on the warmer to say how long to heat up the bottle for depending upon what you are heating up e.g milk in a bottle and how much or a jar. The warmer heated up quite quickly and the mikl heated up in the guide time. The warmer does not have an on/off switch or automatic turn off so you have to remember to turn it off at the wall. Although this is a good product we stopped using it after a few weeks because in the middle of the night it seemed to take ages to heat up when the baby was crying and because we had to go to the kitchen to get bottle out of fridge we started to use the microwave instead becase it was alot quicker. It is not recomended that you use a microwave though!
I was given one of these and to be honest forgot I had it, when our son came along and we had to bottle feed it was automatic to put the bottle in a jug of hot water, a few weeks in when I remembered the bottle warmer I got it out the box to investigate and was fairly disappointed. I dont really know what I had imagined but I wasnt impressed by the method, add water, put the bottle in and wait 5 minutes, ok so it does the job but in my opinion seems like a complete waste of money, every house hold has a kettle afterall and can easily heat a bottle the traditional way.
Needless to say I didnt use the product as we were in our routine. however when out and about I have used the product, and after initial thoughts was confirmed that it was quite a pointless idea, I was always stuck waiting ages for a bottle to heat.
I was given one of these when i had my baby but have only used it twice! Personally i think they are a waste of money that could be better spent on other things and a 60p Jug or dare i say it a microwave can do the job just as well.
When my babies were little i used a jug with boiling water to stand bottles in which is actually quicker than the bottle warmer. As my babies got older i did use the microwave, i only used it to get the chill off and shook well and have never had any problems with it.
For night feeds i would take up to bed with me a flask of boiling water and a jug and use this to warm up the bottles. I would do the same when going out , would be difficult to use the bottle warmer when out and about.
For some this may be a useful buy but personally i found it to be a waste of money and an unused item.
I bought this baby warmer for a small cost of £14.99 which was good value for money in my opinion it is convenient to use when you are getting up for night feeds as you can have it plugged in in your bedroom. apart from night feeds i didnt find much use for it.
During the day i make the bottles up as i go along if i can.
if not i find it is much quicker to heat the bottle up in a jug with hot water.
it is not really an essential item but was very useful during the night. however if your baby starts sleeping through early like mine did it is only used for a short time. for the cost of it it is well worth having as it is convenient and is made by a reputable company. heats bottle up within five minutes so is a handy item to have around the house. its not the most reliable item in my opinion sometimes in which i have used it it has took a lot longer than it is supposed to.
It works quite similar to a kettle. you put water in the bottle warmer, put your bottle in and the bottle warmer heats up the water which then goes on to heat up your bottle.
it is very easy to use.
this bottle warmer is fantastic value for money, we make are as needed by leaving water in a bottle then just add the formula as required, no nessing around with kettles and jugs, on my second child now still works great, would deff recomend it to to any new parents its a lifesaver especially doing night feeds,you can buy them in most supermarkets fairly cheap or you get one off ebay pretty cheap to.
If anyone ever asks me what the one thing is that they should buy for when their baby arrives my advice to them is to buy an Avent Warmer, it has been a lifesaver for me.
I was told about hotspots that can occur if using a microwave and me being a first time mum didn't want this to occur so i invested in a Avent Warmer from Asda for £9.99, i only got it this cheap as it was on offer at the time although i did go out and buy another at full price for £15.00 so i could have one in the bedroom.
I didn't have An Avent Warmer at first and was having to get up in the middle of the night so i could warm my daughters bottles up which was doing my head in, when i had finally had enough i found the Avent Warmer it takes no more than 3 minutes to warm up a bottle and i don't even have to get out of bed anymore.
I have had mine for 9 months now and have had no problems what so ever with them, you can not only warm bottles up but baby food as well which is also great, it will only take Avent 4oz and 9oz bottles and the Avent Magic Cup.
It is very easy to clean you just add sterilising fluid and leave on full heat for half an hour then rinse i usually clean it once a week, to use the Avent Warmer just fill with water to the required level and select your setting. It usually takes around four minutes to warm food and two or three minutes for a bottle it does state in the instructions that these times are based on bottled of milk at room temperature.
Now I realise Im probably going to get slated for using a microwave to heat my bottles but Iv never bought what people say about the microwave giving the milk hotspots, its a liquid for heavens sake just give it a good shake and make sure you test it first. If, like me your baby breaks into a yell without any apparent build up and you need to feed them fast, just dont bother with this bottle warmer, it feels like it takes forever especially in the middle of the night where you dont want to risk waking up the children through you baby screaming that he/she needs milk immediately!. Better still, get your baby used to taking milk at room temperature, think about it, if your out and about you cant carry round your bottle warmer and flask is both heavy and bulky. To me this is just another gimmick and its not worth investing your £29.99 in.
Having had a baby 8 weeks ago and not being able to breastfeed I decided to invest in a food and bottle warmer around 3 weeks ago as I was getting fed up of having to boil the kettle in the middle of the night to warm up his bottles!
The warmer comes with a 4oz bottle and lid and a weaning spoon.
I found Tesco to be the cheapest place to buy it from at £15 which I did not mind paying as it will also be used for warming food when we get to that stage!
The warmer is very fast and easy to use. All you have to do is put in the bottle, add water, turn to the correct setting (1, 2 or 3) and switch on.
The warmer fits all Avent bottles, magic cups and food jars. I also have a couple of 9oz Boots own brand bottles which also fit perfectly.
The 4oz bottles heat in around 4 minutes however the 9 oz bottles take around 7 minutes.
The warmer needs descaling every 4 weeks with either citric acid or vinegar. Again this is very simple to do and the instructions that come with the bottle warmer provide all the relevant instructions on how to do this.
Overall a great, easy to use product - I think it could only be improved if it included a built in timer.
When we switched from breast to bottle we decided that one of these would be a good investment. We actually bought ours second hand from ebay for around £8 and opposed to £15 in Tesco. Even without instructions we have figured out how to use it and it is very straight forward.
All you need to do is put some water in the bottom, pop the bottle in (make sure the bottle is in the water but so that the water doesn't all spill out when you put the bottle in!) plug it in and set the dial to 1 (slow heat), 2 (medium heat) or 3 (express heat). We use the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles and these fit in fine - a 5oz bottle takes about 4-5 mins to warm on 3, or about 15 mins on 1. I often use the 1 setting if I am doing bedtime on my own as I can put the bottle on 1 and then do my daughters bath and the bottle is just nocely warm by the time we are ready for it after her bath.
It is also easy to take upstairs to do night feeds as well.
Two drawbacks are that you have to switch it off at the plug to switch it off and it looses a lot of water through the day from evaporation (not sure if there is anything Avent could do about this though!) but and off switch would be good.
I presume the person that we bought this off got plenty of use out of it and we have been using it for at around 6 bottles a day for 8 weeks with no problems so they seem to last well.
When we brought our daughter home from hospital, after she was born, she became very lazy and stopped sucking on the breast, this then lead me down the route of expressing milk as a way to make sure she got some food and we stopped panicking at the thought of her starving to death. I did normally try to express before she would want feeding but sometimes this was impossible and I would have to use already expressed milk out of the fridge. This would need to be warmed up by placing the bottle in a jug of boiled water. I started to get a bit feed up with waiting for the kettle to boil and then for the milk to warm, so I decided that I needed a bottle warmer. I had seen them in my local Tesco so set off to buy one. Over two years later and I am still using it.
A Bit about Avent.
Avent was launched in 1984 and redesigned the baby bottle to closely resemble the natural feeding process and gave mothers the freedom to combine breast and bottle feeding, whether the bottles were used for expressed milk or formular milk. 90% of their products are designed and made in their factory in Suffolk, England and is certified to ISO 9001. In 2006 Avent joined the Philips group to become Philips Avent.
Avent make products to help mothers through pregnancy and beyond up to when your baby is about 18 months old.
They make skincare products for expectant mums and a skincare range for babies. Their breastfeeding range contains pumps (hand and electric), breast milk storage containers, nipple cream, breast pads, breast shells and nipple protectors. Three sizes of bottles, the smaller one holds 125ml/4 oz and the medium one holds 260ml/9 oz and the large "magnum" that holds 330ml/10.5 oz. Teats that reduce the risk of colic. Formular milk dispensers, bottle and teat brushes. Sterilizers and a bottle and food warmer. Daytime and nightime dummies, sorry, soothers up to the age of 18 months. Cups and spoons for weaning and different types of bags suitable for carrying everything.
Avent products are used in more than 60 countries around the world.
The Product.
The unit is made of white plastic 14cm tall x 10cm x 12 cm oval circle. It has a light blue plastic insert to hold your bottle in place. This can be removed but I am not sure why as I have never had any need to remove this. On the front of the warmer there is a silver dial that can be set at either setting 1, 2 or 3 depending how warm you want your milk and when you switch the warmer on, an orangey/red light flashes on and off when the warmer is in use. It was a white cable coming out at the back of the warmer, this is 90cm long and part of it can be stored under the bottom of the warmer if you don't need it that long. The warmer is supplied with a small measuring cup enabling you to pour the water in. It is also supplied with a couple of citric acid de-scaling sachets.
Using the product.
The warmer is suitable for warming bottles of milk and pots of liquidised food when your baby starts to wean. It takes all 3 sizes of Avent Bottles. Place your bottle or pot into the warmer top the unit up with water, set the switch to whatever setting you want and switch on at the plug. I have always left mine on the highest setting.
Recommended Timings
Small bottles either 5 minutes to 40 deg Fahrenheit or 5 deg centigrade or 9 minutes to 70 deg Fahrenheit/20 deg centigrade.
Large bottles either 6 minutes to the cooler temperature or 10 minutes to the higher temperature.
Liquidised food either 7 minutes or 12 minutes.
I would not recommend putting the glass jar in the warmer. I used to transfer some food into the Avent Storage pots and place these in the warmer any unheated food thats left in the jar could then go back into the fridge.
It recommends to de-scale the unit every 2 - 4 weeks to ensure maximum efficiency. Mix sachet contents into 200ml/7 fl oz of water then pour into the unit. Heat on highest setting for 10 minutes. Switch off and leave the contents in the warmer for 30 minutes, drain the rinse out. You only get about 3 sachets of de-scaler and I have never managed to find any to buy anywhere so I have used a little Bicarbonate of soda a few times and its never done my unit any harm.
My opinion
I have used my bottle warmer for over two years now. When my daughter was on milk all the time it got used up to 6 times a day. When she went onto solids I would put some solid food into a plastic storage cup and would warm this through. Even today my daughter likes to have milk in the morning and a bed time. I use a bottle to warm the milk up (I place the bottle in the bottle warmer for 6 minutes to get it to about room temperature) then pour it into a cup. My daughter also likes to have her melon at room temperature. If she is on a non eating day, I can guarantee she will always have some melon and grapes but not if they are straight out of the fridge, so I pop the fruit into a plastic pot and warm them up very slightly in the bottle warmer and she then eats it. The only thing my daughter does it straight out of the fridge is yogart.
I have also noticed when going to some cafes, restaurants and baby changing facilities, they have these bottle warmers about as they are very quick and easy to use.
When I purchased mine a couple of years ago, my husband said it was a waste of money but when he got up during the night to feed our daughter he realised it was much quicker.
One thing that is missing from the unit is a timer. Luckily I have a digital clock on my cooker so I can just set this. I can't see that adding a timer would cost that much money and it would make it more convenient to use.
All in all I have certainly had my moneys worth out of this buy. A lot of baby stuff ends up useless after about one year but as I say I am still using it over two years later.
Price and availability
I can't remember how much I paid for mine but they are available in Tesco and Tesco online for £14.99 (it does not state that they are on offer so this is quite cheap), £29.99 in Boots, Mothercare and Argos.

Not great value for money really. I was given mine, and frankly i'm glad I didn't pay for it. My kettle boils quicker and a jug holds more water to heat the bottle quicker. Having said that, I am too lazy to get a jug out to put the bottle in, and you don't have to re-fill the bottle warmer everytime like you would the kettle.
Nothing special or miraculous, but I guess it treats the milk in the way its supposed to be treated. The only other more convenient way to heat a bottle is in the microwave, and you aren't supposed to do that, so this is probably the best type of contraption on the market.
Well... When I was pregnant and still living at home with my mum, she raved on about bottle warmers how much hassle they saved in the middle of the night, how quick they were etc...i'm not convinced, my daughter is now 18months and the bottle warmer looks like new.
Priced at £19:99 and purchased from boots.
We used it for the first week for the novelty value and after that just gave up. We chose the Avent one because we had bought all the other feeding equipment in the Avent range. All of which was great. But the bottle warmer..I just wouldnt bother in hindsight...yes it saves boiling the kettle, yes it times the bottle whilst it warms..but is just seems a bit pointless to me...we tried it again when my daughters bottles were over 4oz and it took forever to warm the bottle up. Its much quicker to warm it up in a jug of water or even the microwave as some parents do and I really wouldnt say this product did us any major favours, its not that theres anything wrong with it exactly its just ...theres no point to it and it takes to long!
If you really cant be bothered to get out of bed to warm a bottle of milk at night..i suppose you could keep the night time bottles in a bucket of cold water and the warmer by the bed but even then.... I think especially if your shopping on a budget for your baby this is one thing they can definatly do without!

It is a movement that many thought could never last past the first few months. But as it turned out, the dissatisfaction with government has taken a grassroots movement national and, more than a year later, it is only growing. Enter the newest local group of citizens determined to become better informed and participative, the Senoia Tea Party Patriots.
Group organizer/coordinator and Senoia resident Joe Cannin has been involved with the Tea Party movement in Coweta and Fayette counties since they began in early 2009. His involvement included helping to develop small neighborhood groups. Read More»

In Another Life0 Reviews
"You want us to open for a band?" I asked our manager, Cory. "Yeah, their opening act ditched them and they needed another band. Their band manager asked me if you guys were interested" he explained. "When is the gig?" Fiona asked. "Tomorrow night" Cory answered. "That's sick!" Collin shouted. The guys looked really excited for this new gig. "Fine with me" I sighed. Maybe our band can finally be known. We've been playing small gigs and bars for years now. All five of us have money problems. Maybe this gig will change that. But was the band big enough to get us well known?
"Which band are we opening for?" Alexander asked, reading my mind. "I think you've heard of them. They are from here. Madina Lake. I don't know if you did. They just came back from the UK but wanted to play a secret show in Chicago" "That's great" Casey clapped his hands. "It's about time I get my own place" I muttered. "Living with Tom must have been like hell" Fiona said. "Not really" I shrugged. "Where is he now? Work?" Alexander asked. "No, he's going on some blind date" I scoffed. "Blind dates are gay" Collin laughed. "Tell me about it" "Hey guys, back to focus" the manager clapped his hands. "Okay" I turned to him. "Meet me here tomorrow at four. I will bring you guys to the venue" he said before leaving.
"Don't we have a gig tonight at the bar?" Casey reminded us. "Yeah, let's get ready" I got in Alexander's van. The others followed suit. "Who the hell is Madina Lake?" Fiona asked when Alex began driving. "I heard of them. Maybe once. One of my ex girlfriends went to their show. She was so excited about it" Casey sighed. "Roxy likes Madina Lake?" I asked. He nodded. "Then they must be some gay pop electro band" I scoffed. Casey's ex girlfriend, Roxy was hell. She was fake as plastic and has a crappy taste in music. I can't believe we will be opening for one of those kinds of bands.
"No, they are like a rock band I think. She said they are the only rock music she listens to" "Okay well, I know we won't be opening for a bunch of faggots" I laughed. "So after the show, you going to Tom's or sleeping in here with us?" Fiona changed the subject. "I think I'm staying with you guys. Tom's probably bringing his new girl home" I smirked. "Does he bring girls home on first dates?" Noah asked. "Sometimes" I said, grinning. "Are most of them good?" "No, I hate most of them. He dumps them within a week" I told them. "Really? I think you are jealous of them" Fiona pointed out. "Why would I be jealous? I get to sleep with that fucker almost every night"
"And you still tell us you don't love him" Alex said. "I don't" "You guys should go out one day. He takes care of you, he obviously likes you" "No he only takes care of me because he knows he's getting a blow job every night" everybody laughed. Half of what I just said was true. Even though Tom did have good intentions, he also has bad ones. "What if he likes the new girl more than you?" Collin asked. "Then I'd be living with you guys every day like how I used to" I said honestly. I am afraid of that happening. What if Tom becomes occupied with the girl? He wouldn't want me sticking around? Everything we had for the past few years would be over. That's not a good thing.
A few hours later, we got to the bar. I plugged my guitar in and walked in the center stage area. A lot of guys were there drinking. They didn't care about what band were going to play; they just want to be satisfied with what they have. Fiona played the first bass line of the song to Alexander's drum beats. Casey, Collin and I joined them with our guitar lines. I began singing a few seconds later. Nobody paid attention to us. We didn't care. They were bar people. That's how they are. At least we are getting paid. That's all that matters. In the middle of our second song, a guy walked into the bar. He sat down when the bartender asked him what he wanted to drink. He said something to the bartender before turning his attention on us.
His hazel eyes immediately fell on me. He gazed at me with curiosity. I explored through his features, forgetting the lyrics for a second before coming back to my senses. He chuckled at my mistake. The guy had hazel eyes. I could easily get lost in them. He had messy blonde hair sticking up in every direction. The black button up shirt seems to fit him very well. His lips curved into a smile when he saw my eyes on him. I found myself staring at him during our whole set. Luckily, I didn't forget the lyrics again. That would be bad and embarrassing. I've embarrassed myself enough tonight. He took a sip from his drink and looked around my band members. Why was he evacuating us?
We played our last song before getting off stage. "Damn Skye, you were like undressing that guy with your eyes" Fiona shouted the second we went backstage. "What guy?" I decided to play dumb. She noticed? "Don't fuck with me; I know you were checking that blonde hottie out" "Was he really that hot?" Casey asked, putting my guitar in the case for me. "Damn it, he's gorgeous as fuck!" Fiona yelled. "Really?" Alexander smirked. "He was gorgeous, right Skye?" I didn't want Fiona in my business. Why does it matter when I stare at a guy during a set? I didn't' want any gossip going around. Or I didn't want Fiona teasing me about a guy in front of Tom.
"Yeah whatever" I rolled my eyes. He was gorgeous, but I'll never see him again so why bother? He's just another one of those bar guys I don't ever want to lay my eyes on. Maybe that moment looking at him was nice but I didn't want to get involved in this guy. He probably didn't care much about me either. I'm just some singer girl at the bar. We packed our instruments and walked to the bar area. "Skye" the bartender shouted. "Yeah?" "Here take this" she handed me a glass of Martini. "What for?" I do love alcohol but I needed to know the reason for this offering. "The guy over there offered you" I followed her gaze to the mysterious blonde guy. He smiled when his eyes met mine. "Thanks" I whispered to the bartender before walking over to him. "Hey" "Hey yourself" he grinned. Is this a trap? Maybe this guy wanted a blow job. I chuckled to myself. "What's funny?"
"I find this very ironic... Be honest, are you planning on raping me?" I asked innocently. He fell into fits of laughter. He may be finding this situation amusing but I'm confused and flattered at the same time. "Uh... I guess not" I mumbled to myself. "You're not much of a drinker, are you?" he asked, pointed at my martini glass. "Of course I am. I was just occupied. I love alcohol" I gushed. "That's one thing we have in common" he smiled. Great, I always fall for guys who love alcohol. Am I really falling for him? I highly doubt that. "Uh, do I know you?" I obviously don't know him but why was he staring at me when we were performing? Why was he offering me this drink? Was it poisoned? I'll take my chance. You don't get drinks from cute guys everyday.
"No, you don't know me. I thought you looked familiar but I don't think I know you" he examined me, shaking his head. "So you offered a drink to the wrong girl?" I almost chuckled. "Nope I meant to give you that so hopefully you'll enjoy this. But I will see you around. I don't know you but I just know it" he winked at me before he walked out of the bar. What the hell was that, honestly? Is he going to stalk me now? Should I be flattered or scared? I frowned at his sudden disappearance anyways. "Why so sad girl?" Fiona sat down beside me. "No nothing" I mumbled. I'm not fooling anyone am I? This mystery guy did leave a first impression on me. I wanted to know who he is.
Why did he have a sudden interest to me? Why did I look familiar to him? Have I seen him before? "So what did the guy say to you?" she asked curiously. "He just told me I look like someone he knew or something like that" I shrugged as if this encounter was nothing. It was something. He was so sure that we'd meet again. I hope I will meet him again."Is this a first stage of flirting?" "Fiona, we will never see the guy again, just let it go" I sighed. This is a lot on my mind. I need to clear it for the show tomorrow. That show might turn all of our lives around. This is a chance we may never have again.
Everything that happened yesterday sucked. I thought that Tom would be the perfect guy for me. Terrie was so sure of it. When I walked in, I was delighted, he was so sexy. But I know that looks never really mattered. He looked so kissable. He looked like the kind of guy I would date. What kind of guys would I date anyways? This is so much to take in. When I walked in late, Tom got frustrated with me. We began the date with an argument. An argument isn't really a great start to a first date or a first impression. After the argument, we ordered food. He asked me to tell him about myself. I didn't tell him everything. I just told him that I worked as an intern for this magazine company.
He told me that he was a gambler in a bar. He loved alcohol. I mean I am used to guys who liked to drink. Nathan likes to drink. Matt does sometimes too. But I just find that unappealing. Why did I like Nathan? He is the most amazing human being on this planet. He's funny, charming, caring, and sexy. His love for alcohol doesn't affect me at all. But he's Nathan; nothing can possibly go wrong with him. This Tom guy seems like the kind of guy Skye would go out with. I don't know how Skye is right now but they looked like they would be a perfect match. There is no way in hell that Skye was done with drugs and alcohols.
The annoying sound of my ringtone brought my attention back to the present time. I yawned and got up from my bed. It was very hard for me to sleep for the past few hours. I should change my ringtone. Maybe buy a song ringtone from online or something. "Matt what do you want?" I groaned, picking up the phone. "Are you coming over Rachel?" he asked. "Why am I coming over to your place?" I asked. "Because you are my friend and you will come because I told you to" "Matthew what are you up to?" I asked impatiently. "Nothing, the guys are over and I don't know but Nathan's dying for you to come over. By the way, how's the blind date guy?"
"Nathan's dying for me to come over? Forget the other guy. He's gorgeous but he lives in a house with another woman and sleeps with her. He says there's nothing going on between them but I don't believe them. I don't care. Looks don't matter at all. It's the quality in a person. But Nathan's dying for me to be there? That's like a dream come true" I gushed. Nathan wants me over? Is this some kind of joke? No, Matthew is shitting me. "Then come over and overwhelm him" "Okay, anything for Nathan" I shouted excitedly and immediately got up from my bed. It took me a while to decide what to wear. I have to look good for Nathan. I have to wow him with my beauty.
When I was finally satisfied, I took my bag and got ready to leave. Why am I so excited? It's not a big deal. It's not like Nathan is going to show up at my door and tell me he loves me. I scoffed at my own thought. Maybe Nathan thought it was boring without a girl to mess around with. He couldn't possibly want me over so bad. I slowly walked over to my door. When I opened the door, I gasped. Did my thoughts just come true? "Nathan, what are you doing here?" I asked, almost shocked and surprised. "I'm here to do this..." he pushed me against the wall near my door and quickly pressed his lips against mine forcefully.
I was obviously shocked. This must be a dream. When this kiss is done, I'm going to pinch myself. This has to be a dream. Why the hell would Nathan be kissing me? Why did he just come to my house and kiss me? Matthew did tell me to come to their house. He's dying to see me. Matthew wasn't lying. Life is good

Recipe: Brownie Covered Cookies
Yes. You did read that right.
Brownie. Covered. Cookies.
Newman-O's Hint O' Mint cookies, to be precise. And they were divine. Actually, I think they caused a slight mind melt. Mmm.
As much as I want to, I can't take credit for the idea. It came from Jenny over at Picky Palate. It's been sort of sweeping the interwebs by storm. Or, maybe it's just gone viral with foodies on Twitter.
Either way, it came across my radar. And as insane as they had sounded, I've been dreaming about them for weeks.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Brownie Covered Cookies
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup raw cane sugar
- 1/3 cup earth balance
- 2-3 tbs almond milk
- 1 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package Newman O's Hint O' Mint cookies {or any other Oreo-like cookies of your choice.}
- cooking spray or oil
- Preheat oven to 325F and oil a muffin tin (12 cup size).
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
- Melt the chocolate chips and all of the sugar and vegan butter substitute in a double boiler over gently simmering water.
- Stir the chocolate mixture, almond milk, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture using a wooden spoon. Mixture should be pliable and dough-like, not runny like traditional brownie batter.
- Take a Newman-O and cover with brownie mixture. Place into muffin pan.
- Continue until all 12 spaces are filled in muffin pan.
- Place in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until brownie looks cooked.
- Scrape batter off sides of tin with plastic knife. Will help make popping out of tin easier.
- Let cook and devour. These things are aaaaaaaaamazing warm. Seriously, enjoy them while you can.
For your reference:
This recipe is vegetarian and vegan. it is also nightshade free, dairy free, egg free, cinnamon free, and contains no msg.
