My husband and I celebrate with new friends
It was our seventh anniversary, and we wanted to celebrate it in style, so we went to an upscale restaurant in one of the city's plush resort hotels.
I wore an evening gown type dress, and my husband wore a suit and tie, so we felt quite elegant. We agreed not to wear underwear, so we would feel sexy. My husband loves the feeling of his penis and testicles moving around freely under his pants, and I enjoy fondling him when I have the opportunity.
My dress was revealing enough to give a generous view of my breasts, which are not large, but make an inviting cleft between their pointy mounds. My nipples pressed invitingly into the soft silk of my gown. Since I was not wearing panties, the gown clung to my figure and displayed its sensuous curves to advantage. It was obvious to anyone who looked at me that I was not a shy lady!
The dinner was delicious, and because we enjoyed several alcoholic accompaniments to our repast, we were both just a little tipsy as we made our way into the hotel bar, not wanting our romantic evening to be over so soon.
We sat at the bar and ordered Brandy Alexanders with ice cream, our favorite "dessert." We had just received our drinks when a pair of gentlemen, also dressed in suits and ties, entered the bar, one of them sitting down beside me, the other next to my husband. Before long we had engaged in conversation, learning that they were from out of town, and were staying at the hotel.
In the course of our conversation I noticed a piano in the bar, and when my husband mentioned that I was a pretty good pianist, one of the men urged me to play for them. I demurred at first, but our new friends were persuasive, and Dave, the younger of the two, took me by the arm and gently led me over to the piano, where I began to perform a medley of favorite popular and show tunes.
Paul, the older man, about my husband's age, moved over to the bar stool next to my husband, and bought him a scotch on the rocks. They sat enjoying the music, and I noticed that Dave was getting pretty cozy with me, leaning into me and putting his hand on my thigh when making a joke or complimenting me on my playing.
Meanwhile, Paul began to get cozy with my husband, placing his hand on his thigh to emphasize a point, and being slow to remove it. My husband didn't seem to mind this, since he had been seduced by several men in his youth, and had come to enjoy it, which he had admitted to me.
We have an "open" marriage. I knew my husband wasn't bothered by Dave's familiarity with me either. He figured that if I objected to his advances I would be sure to let him know. I was a big girl, and could take care of myself.
After playing the piano and singing for a while, Dave and I went back to the bar, I, sitting between our new friends, and my husband on the end of our little group.
We had a few laughs and had pretty well loosened up when the bartender informed us that he would have to be closing the bar, so we must "drink up." Dave said it was too early to break up our little party, so why not adjourn to their room and continue?
My husband and I agreed, and so we followed them up to their hotel room, giggling a little as Dave guided me by putting his arm around me and patting my ass from time to time. Paul stayed close to my husband, and managed to place a hand on his bottom while we were in the elevator.
When we got to their room, Dave put on some music and suggested dancing with me, to which I agreed. We danced a few minutes, with Dave holding me close to him and letting his hand rest on my undulating buttocks. Soon Paul decided he wanted to dance with me also, but Dave didn't want to give me up. Paul just went to my backside and began to move in time with the music and the movements of my swaying ass, pressing his obviously hard cock into me from behind.
I was sure my husband was being turned on by the sight of me dancing between two men, and I could see his hard-on threatening to burst out of his pants.
When Paul began to work the skirt of my dress up my legs and over my hips, I didn't object, and before long I was gyrating between the two men with my gown around my shoulders, my naked breasts and bottom completely exposed.
While Paul continued to press into me from behind, Dave got down on his knees and worked his hands up between my thighs to find my pussy, which I freely let him explore. About this time Paul backed away and took his clothes off while watching Dave lick my pussy.
He came over and stood in front of my husband brandishing his hard cock, and my husband couldn't resist fondling it and kissing it before letting it slide into his mouth. He barely had Paul's cock wet when Paul backed off and knelt down to unzip my husband's pants and take his cock out, wetting it with his saliva as it hardened into his sucking mouth.
By the time my husband had his clothes off, Dave had me on the bed, and he was pulling my gown over my head and off while I undid his pants and pulled them down to reveal a bigger cock than either Paul's or my husband's, but just as swollen.
I bent to suck Dave's cock as he fidgeted and managed to get the rest of his clothes off. Then he gently pushed me back on the bed and crawled up between my spread legs to insert his hard-on into my wet and steaming cunt.
Paul drew my husband with him over to the bed, and he took his cock into his mouth while my husband watched hungrily, as Dave's cock began to pound in and out of my clinging pussy. My husband reached over and played with Dave's balls as they slapped against my ass, and then he ran his finger up to get some of the pussy juice that was coating Dave's reaming sex pole.
Meanwhile, Paul managed to work his way around without letting go of my husband's cock so his cock was within reach of my mouth. I eagerly opened my mouth and surrounded Paul's cock with my lips, sucking it in with a slurp. There we were, in a kind of "daisy chain,' each one giving and getting pleasure from another person.
Obviously, it didn't take long for the cum to start gushing, so when Dave shot his wad into my cunt, my husband was there to lick and lap at it. Paul took my husband's cum into his mouth, and I took Paul's cum into my mouth. As we separated, we shared one another's cum, and my husband and I ended up entwined with each other, Paul cuddling my husband from my back, and Dave cuddling me from my back.
I guess we dozed off that way, and slept for several hours. In the morning we all took showers before my husband and I got dressed and left.
What a beautiful anniversary that was!

I have for sale a used QLS QA350 with all accessories including the SD Card. The Unit itself is in great physical condition with a small chip on the back left corner of the housing. These little gems are built like tanks by the way, the casing could probably withstand a shot from a .22. The player functions absolutely perfectly and the sound quality is really quite nice when used in combination with a properly encoded lossless WAV file. I bought the unit back in 2010, and to be honest I didn't find the time to use it very often because I originally bought it to carry around at work but I quickly found out it was just a bit large and weighty for my liking.
I will trade for a pair of Grado 125i
I am asking 125-, Shipping Not Included.

The things you discover when you reorganise you pantry; in my case, Jaggery. Big, huge, nuggets of dark brown, unrefined, cane sugar. I don't recall when I bought it or what I intended to use it for, but with a looming expiry date, it had to be put to good use soon.
Jaggery is the sugar for traditional Indian sweets. The flavour ranges from fruity to caramel or treacly depending on the depth of colour. It is addictive stuff. If you are a fan of molasses/black treacle or muscovado sugar, then jaggery will only bring you joy. Indeed I think my hedonistic appreciation for earthy coloured sugars stems from my love of jaggery.
My Odlay Mai (maternal grandmother) made steamed aris, a thick rice based batter, flattened on a banana leaf, filled with freshly grated coconut (sometimes flavoured with cardamom), sweetened with jaggery, wrapped in the leaf and steamed. Utter bliss! I also would visit a Brahmin friend's house, specifically to have a couple of their Belum (jaggery in malayalam) Kapi (coffee). Her mother was very aware of the fact, but far too flattered to tell me off! Incidentally, brahmin food, which is completely vegetarian, is one of the best I have ever experienced. To date. End of.
Let me add too, that jaggery is known for it's good iron, magnesium and potassium content, and combined with sesame seeds in this recipe, it's a powerhouse for your red blood cells. At least, that's the story I am sticking with. It's is also a mainstay, a cheap source of nutrition for the very poor. The use of jaggery, from what I read, is declining, due to the increase in 'Western' style, white sugar, based baking. It's a pity, but that's the way the wheel turns.
Here, I give you a bog standard recipe for Indian sweetie, Chikki, so widely available that no one really makes it anymore. More's the pity, it's so easy. If you can't get a hold of jaggery, then use any dark sugar you like. Indeed, white sugar works here too but you will miss the complexity and depth of flavour that can only come from an unrefined sugar source. I believe the Greeks have a version of this with honey and peanuts, the arabs do too with cardamom and sesame seeds, and in the West, it's called brittle. I have seen black sesame seeds used the same way on Chinese/Malay cuisine. As common as it is, it's that unifying quality I love about food. At least in that one regard, none can deny that we are all pretty much the same. Just maybe a different kinda nut!
Here I used regular white sesame seeds and another batch with black sesame seeds. All you do, is melt a bit of butter, bung in your chopped up jaggery into a pan and let it caramelise, reaching the hard crack stage at 160deg C. Do this on a low-medium heat, since there is no added water to temper the speed at which the sugar caramelises. You do not want this to start to smoke. It's not a disaster, but that smoky note pervades the finished article and it is not desirable in this case. Can you tell that I am speaking from experience?
When it hits the mark, pour in your toasted seed/nut of choice and mix as quickly as you can, pouring it into a greased pan. It will start hardening immediately. You might not be able to coat every single seed but surely there are more important things to worry about. Flatten it out (I used a greased offset flat spatula) as best you can and leave to cool completely. Then you can either cut into thin, long slices, as I have eaten it, or crack it and have magnificent, copper coloured, transparent shards of caramelly nut. The chikki is brittle, with a good crack, isn't hard on the teeth and soooo dang good to eat! Another option; if you don't want it so brittle and would prefer it a bit softer and chewier, then take the caramel only to 120 deg C. Peanuts work very well in either case too. You could vary the ratio of nut to jaggery should you want it more sweet or more nutty. It's that flexible. Your choice. I don't mind. Really.
What surprised me the most was the difference in flavour of the seeds. The black ones were the same taste note as the white, but much earthier, stronger and the look of the shiny, smooth topped, translucent black colour of the sweetie had a dangerous attractiveness to it. I cannot say which one I preferred most. It yo-yoed between which one I was chomping on at the time.
So take this and make it your own. It will catch your eye in a glass jar in the corner of the counter and offer a perk when the day gets a bit rough. Or make to share with friends or to bring a smile to a hostess's lips. You'll be guaranteed a return invite!
100gm of Jaggery (or brown sugar of yourchoice), chopped into smaller pieces Toast the seeds on a medium heat,in an oiless frying pan. Once slightly golden, remove from heat and leave to cool on a plate. In a smaller pan, melt the butter and jaggery on a low-medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, don't stir it, swirl the pan to ensure even cooking. Insert your thermometer at this point and cook until it reads 160 degC, or the hard crack stage. Quickly mix in your toasted nuts to coat thoroughly, and decant to an oiled shallow tray or marble slab. You can flatten it with an oiled offset spatula or roll over it with an oiled rolling pin to your desired thickness. I tend to cut before it's completely cold, but you could also just break it apart to form different shapes. Store in an airtight container for a few days. Note: You can use less nuts if you want this to be particularly sweet and crackly. In which case use equal amount of nuts and sugar/jaggerySesame Seed Brittle
150-200gm of sesame seed or peanut
1 tablespoon of ghee or butter


text: lol split rock is no where close to 50', 30' on the higher parts. Still is plenty open though. Although outdoor researched managed a two pitch variation :P > That's awesome, the first pitch was only two feet. It must have been a sit start. Not to mention he racked enough gear to climb that pitch 10 times.

Advice for Moms
Featured Posts
I am pregnant with my sixth child. I have always had hospital births but the last time i did not have a good experience
I know that people say homebirths are really relaxing so i was wondering what your opinions are if you have experienced both a home and hospital birth before
what would you choose
I have had a free Standing Birth Center. Which was a wonderful experience. I also had a hospital birth and hated everything about it. Then had a home birth and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I will never have a hospital birth, unless needed.
Do you research and do what is best for you. Everyone has so many views on this.
Also interview midwifes and ask lots of questions. The two we had pretty much answered all our questions before we even asked them.
I chose a birth center in a hospital. Birth centers are generally more mom and baby friendly than just hospitals. I liked that there was a NICU available if I should need one, but if not, they pretty much let me do whatever I wanted. (Not that I asked for much).
If I only lived by hospitals that weren't very mom and baby friendly, then I would absolutely be open to having a homebirth with a midwife. They don't worry me at all. Birth is a natural thing that women have been doing at home since the dawn of time. A lot of women feel more comfortable in their own home. I honestly feel more comfortable at the hospital though. If I were at home, I'd probably be trying to clean something or get something done lol. But at the hospital I know I have nothing to do other than try to relax, have my baby, and get taken care of.
If pregnancy is completely healthy and you haven't had complications in the past, if you are comfortable with home birth, then I agree with that. For me, I knew I wanted to be in a hospital. I'm one of those "must be overly prepared" persons and wanted to be in a hospital just in case. As it turned out, I had to be induced due to hbp and then ended up with c-section anyways. Best of luck and Congrats!

Slow Sales Start for Detroit?
Rome wasn't built in a day. Nor will Detroit be saved in a month. But, industry executives and analysts alike will be paying close attention when January auto sales are reported in early February, looking for a sign—any sign—of real improvement in the U.S. auto industry.
But preliminary numbers released last week by industry analysts at Edmunds.com show that, collectively, sales will likely dip this month to 1.15 million units, down 3.1% from the same time period last year adjusted for one more selling day. That figure would represent a 16.6% drop from the previous month, roughly in line with the typical drop-off in sales from the incentive-laden month of December to quieter January.
Industry-wide sales declines have become commonplace over the past 12 months, as domestic manufacturers suffered from costly setbacks. Throughout 2006, high fuel costs, mounting foreign competition, changing consumer attitudes, nagging quality and reliability concerns, and even a softening housing market were just a few of the thousand cuts that made a significant domestic recovery impossible.
Toyota's Triumph
January is a traditionally sleepy month for auto sales. The holidays, lucrative incentives, and yearend bonuses make December a strong month for sales at large; additionally, December is one of the best times on the calendar for sales of trucks and SUVs equipped to tackle mounting snow. "Total volume-wise, [January] is one of the slowest months of the year, and this year's no different," says Jesse Toprak, executive director of industry analysis with Edmunds. "Call it payback for December."
Nevertheless, Toyota (TM) is likely to continue its forward surge this month. The company, which is expected to permanently supplant Ford as the No. 2 automaker in the U.S. and could steal the production crown from General Motors (GM) globally next year, is expected to post sales of about 191,000 units, an increase of 14.3% from January, 2006. That would represent a drop of 16.2% from the busy month of December. But, market share should rise to 16.6%, up from 14.1% in January, 2006 and up from 16% in December, 2006.
That will be the biggest set of gains, however, as other Japanese manufacturers are expected to post mixed results. Edmunds forecasts that Nissan (NSANY) will have sold 78,000 vehicles, down 1.4% from same period last year. Honda (HMC), meanwhile, should move about 108,000 units, an increase of 5.3% from January, 2006. Both companies will likely make razor-thin gains in market share.
Domestic Downer
Unfortunately, that likely won't be the case for domestic manufacturers. Edmunds estimates the combined monthly market share for DaimlerChrysler's (DCX) Chrysler unit, Ford (F), and GM at 52.4%, a slide from 57.1% in January, 2006. Chrysler and Ford will both likely witness erosions of their monthly and year-to-year market share, with GM actually eking out a slight increase from last month.
For Ford, though, that's where the middling figures end. The company nabbed stark headlines around the country last week thanks to record-setting year-end losses for 2006 of $12.7 billion, $5.8 billion in the fourth quarter alone. Ford's North American automotive operations reported a pretax loss of $6.1 billion, compared to a loss of $1.5 billion in 2005.
Earlier this month, Ford Chairman William Ford Jr. told BusinessWeek that new Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally's restructuring would, in fact, amount to a "reckoning," a long way from the triumphalism of the "Bold Moves" public relations campaign launched with the company's previous Way Forward reorganization plan (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/9/07, "Mulally: Ford's Most Important New Model").
Analysts Gloomy
This month, Ford sales are likely to be off by 17.5%, nearly double the next biggest loss at GM. The company should sell around 174,000 units, down 22.7% from the preceding month and the biggest December-to-January loss of any manufacturer. Market share would drop to 15.1% from 17.7% in January, 2006.
Worse yet, analysts don't see much to get excited about in Ford's 2007 product portfolio. The Ford Edge (see BusinessWeek.com, 10/18/06, "First Drive: Ford's Edge") and Lincoln MKX (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/17/07, "Lincoln's Budget Bling Crossover"), two crossover vehicles that pair SUV practicality with car-like handling and fuel economy, have just become available to consumers. But at 2,201 units in December and an expected 2,500 by the end of this month, those models are a long way from making a dent in the bottom line. "Ford is hurting on so many fronts right now, you can't ask the Edge to save the company," says Erich Merkle, director of forecasting at IRN Inc., a Grand Rapids (Mich.)-based automotive research group.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is expected to post declines of 6.5% on sales of 151,000 vehicles. That would represent a 20.5% drop in sales from the previous month and a marginal market-share decline to 13.2% from 13.6% in January, 2006. The company's upcoming redesigned Town & Country minivan, shown in Detroit this month, earned applause from analysts. It could buoy results in 2007 as Ford and GM largely abandon the segment. But the company's heavy reliance on increasingly unpopular trucks and SUVs is still cause for concern.
Other Strong Returns
GM is the sole domestic anticipated to produce positive news on multiple fronts. Though sales are expected to be down by 9.4% to 277,000 vehicles, the company will likely nudge its market share up to 24.1%, from 23.5% in December, 2006. On the strength of new products, notably the Lambda platform-based Outlook and Acadia, analysts expect the company's GMC and Saturn brands to provide particularly strong returns for the month, up 13% and 17%, respectively. "Saturn is probably going to be one of the best performing brands in 2007," says Toprak.
What's more, new full-sized pickups from Chevrolet and GMC could prove popular with consumers, even as overall sales in the segment drop. Toprak suggests that, with those new products, GM could nab large-truck market share from Ford this year, increasing it to 45% from 40% by the end of 2007. Toyota's brand new Tundra (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/30/07, "First Drive: 2007 Toyota Tundra"), meanwhile, could move its market share up to 7% from 5%, also largely at the expense of Ford and Chrysler.
But don't expect a domestic resurgence built on pickup sales anytime soon. Volatile gas prices aside, the softening housing market could have nasty repercussions. Big-pickup sales closely track housing starts, says Merkle. Year-over-year, both are down more than 10%. And that's not good news for anybody in Detroit.

Reader: All aboard for a Frasca food hall at Union Station!
The RTD board won't decide which of two competing partnerships will redevelop Union Station until next Tuesday, but the Union Station Neighborhood Co. upped the ante this week by revealing that the market/food hall it's proposed to put in the historic space would be run by none other than the founders of Frasca Food and Wine.
All aboard!
Says Doughboy:
The Sage Hospitality/Crawford plan for Union Station is a travesty! In order to jam a hotel into that space, they have to drop a new ceiling into the beautful hallways, change the roof lines and punch in several elevator shafts. It will the ruin the entire historic character of the building, and the hotel doesn't even make any economic sense!
Love the idea of a Frasca market/restaurant space on the ground floor which entirely protects the beauty and history of Union Station. It's an idea that we should all get behind.
What would you like to see in Union Station? Speak up...quickly.

HERE'S one good thing to come out of the tragedies that Indonesia has suffered lately: hope for improved relations between that nation and Australia, which has stepped forward to offer humanitarian aid.
Nothing is set in stone, but a better relationship is significant in the world's fight against terrorism.
Relations have been chilly between the two countries in recent years, and an attempt to warm them fizzled in 1999 when Australia played a significant role in the U.N.-led intervention in East Timor after it voted for independence from Indonesia.
A thaw of sorts began when police from both nations worked together three years ago after more than 200 people, many of them Australians, were killed in the Bali nightclub bombings, and again last September when a car bomb exploded outside Australia's embassy in Jakarta. Australia has promised $1 billion to help rebuild the Indonesian province of Aceh, devastated in December by the tsunami.
Then just recently, nine Australian military personnel were killed in Indonesia when their helicopter carrying medical supplies to earthquake victims crashed. When the nations' leaders met, they embraced, signifying the chipping away at differences as they mourned the rescue team on the Indonesian island of Nias, where nearly 1,300 Indonesians died in the recent earthquake. The tsunami left about 220,000 Acehnese dead or missing.
Although each country has much to gain, it is too soon to say just how far-reaching or long-lasting improved relations will be between them. Fighting terrorism is at the forefront of their concerns, and mended ties could also benefit economic, trade, as well as other security issues. As encouraging as all this is, many details still must be worked out and a mutual defense pact is a long way from reality.
What's certain is that it's good that Australia and Indonesia recognize the importance of mutual cooperation in the war on terrorism and in times of humanitarian crisis.

Seattle asks Supreme Court to withdraw state from health care lawsuit
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, April 21, 2010
The City of Seattle asked the state Supreme Court Thursday to require Attorney General Rob McKenna to withdraw Washington from a multistate challenge to the constitutionality of the health care reform legislation Congress passed last month.
"Mr. McKenna would not have used the name of Washington State if he didn't think it would further the cause of health care reform opponents," City Attorney Peter Holmes told seattlepi.com Friday.
Holmes said he'd spoken to Mayor Mike McGinn, who supported his decision. He also conferred with seven of nine city councilmembers -- Sally Bagshaw and Sally Clark outstanding. Those seven support his actions, and Holmes said he believes "every city councilmember is upset with McKenna's actions.
Holmes said Seattle is the first city to take action against the multistate challenge.
"Mr. McKenna is a good man and a good lawyer," Holmes said. "But he overstepped his bounds because of partisan politics."
Last month, McKenna said he would join 12 other state attorneys general in trying to repeal the new, comprehensive national health care measure Democrats passed the previous night.
"I believe this new federal health care measure unconstitutionally imposes new requirements on our state and on its citizens," he said in a statement last month. "This unprecedented federal mandate, requiring all Washingtonians to purchase health insurance, violates the Commerce Clause and the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"I'm concerned that the measure unconstitutionally requires all Washingtonians to purchase health insurance and places an extraordinary burden on our state budget by requiring Washington to expand its Medicaid eligibility standards in violation of our state's rights guaranteed under the10th amendment."
According to the city's petition, McKenna has "only the powers expressly given by the state legislature," none of which "grant authority for (him) to make the State of Washington a plaintiff in the Florida case without a request by the governor or any other state officer."
Gov. Chris Gregoire has since collaborated with three other governors in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder opposing the lawsuit and saying they "will stand by your efforts to protect this most historic improvement of health care for every citizen of this nation."
Holmes said he didn't think there was any merit to the lawsuit, filed in Florida. He said health care reform would help urban centers such as Seattle, and agreed with statements in a City Council resolution supporting health care reform.
The city's resolution also urged the Legislature to restrict McKenna's budget authority to prevent any state funds from being spent opposing federal health care reform.
"This historic act by President Obama and Congress should in no way be undermined by a partisan political agenda," stated Seattle City Council President Richard Conlin. "Seattle citizens who lack health care insurance or who are underinsured need this necessary and reasonable step toward providing health care for all citizens."

Indiana House sends daylight-saving time bill to governor
All of Indiana is just a stroke of a pen away from uniformly moving clocks forward an hour next year. Last night, state lawmakers narrowly approved a bill mandating the time change. The state's governor ran on the issue and is likely to sign it. Most of the state's 92 counties don't change their clocks. And businesses and lobbyists say the current system causes mix-ups over airline flights, delivery times and conference calls.

Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, includes recipes and articles like Shirred Eggs in Prosciutto Crudo Cups; Jerk-Style Country Ham and Pineapple Tamales; Europe On A Plate (European Dry-Cured Hams); and A European Ham Party.
Makes 6 servings
Shirred (shuhrd) eggs are baked in little cups until the whites are set. Problem is, the oven's heat can toughen egg whites dramatically. The solution? A little fat protects the delicate protein chains. With a salad and a glass of red wine, this easy entrée makes an elegant meal.
1. Warm the cream, minced chives, and the rosemary in a small saucepan over medium heat just until little bubbles ring the inside of the pan, 3 or 4 minutes. Cover and set aside off the heat for 30 minutes to steep.
2. Meanwhile, set the rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven up to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter 6 indentations in a standard muffin tin, or six 1/2-cup oven-safe ramekins.
3. Line each indentation or ramekin with 2 prosciutto crudo slices, crimping and overlapping them to create the outline of the indentation as well as a little lip on each. If necessary, tear the strips so they fill the indentations without any gaps or holes.
4. Set the tin in the oven or the ramekins on a baking sheet and then in the oven. In either case, bake until the prosciutto begins to get crisp at its edges, about 15 minutes.
5. Transfer the very hot muffin tin or the tray with the ramekins to a wire rack and divide the cream mixture among the indentations, a scant tablespoon in each cup.
6. Crack an egg into each indentation, then top each egg with pepper. Set the tin or tray with its ramekins back into the oven and bake just until the eggs are set, about 8 minutes for a softer yolk and 12 minutes for a more set yolk.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a "standard" muffin tin. The tin used here should have indentations that hold between 1/2 and 2/3 cup liquid. The prosciutto may puff up a bit as it bakes in step 4. Just press it back into place with a spoon before adding the cream and eggs.

Although marriages are made in heaven some make life as bad as hell. Not all people are blessed with good partners for life, some turn to show true colours after the wedding day and at that time it is too late to rewind whatever happened. When couple plan to take a divorce, men become free and are open to options but women are always on the wrong side. They are branded as dominating, careless, mentally unstable, rude and much more. Today, we will discuss on how a divorcee can deal with the new life and move away from the past. Take a look.
Ways To Deal With Life After Divorce
1. Seek Peace And Balance – Now, you are single and have been through terrible times so learn to seek peace through meditation and relaxation courses. Get a balance to your life and prepare your mind for a fresh start. It is not difficult to live life single as there are ample opportunities to frame all the bits and pieces of your broken life.
2. Get Busy – It is very easy to forget past if your mind is busy so get out of doors and struggle your way by getting into a job or continuing with education. If you have planned to live single and already have children, you need to earn and manage your expenditures. Remember, that it is very easy to give up but extremely hard to keep up with good work.
3. Be Happy – Understand that the decision was only for good and be open to new friendship as people will help you to see life from a different angle. Become a member of a social network and start sharing your experiences with people who feel will help you. When you share happiness or worries, you will feel lighter and confident.
4. Be Open To New Relationship – Just because you had a horrible married life, it doesn't mean you can never find love or a partner of your kind. Feel positive and think that all that happens, happens for good.
5. Do Not Make The Same Mistakes – Now that you have found a good partner, do not commit the same mistakes that led to the divorce. Try to live simple and be humble to the person you love. Bad attitude is the only cause of many divorces.
Don't be tagged as a divorcee as it will have a negative impact wherever you go and whatever you do. Try to save your marriage as much as possible as life after divorce is even more problematic than a bad marriage.

Brad Rubin, the owner of this Chicago diner, has pushed us farther than any restauranteur in keeping DESIGN front and center. I like to think that the diner's popularity is owed, if only by a small percentage, to the quality (and quantity!) of work we do, be it on the menu, the building facade, the interior, on t-shirts, on walls, on bikes, on mugs, in ads..... You name it, Brad's asked us to design it.

Target's social strategy stands out for driving mobile engagement
ByRetailers such as Office Depot, JCPenney and Staples recently took to social media to promote back-to-school shopping. However, Target's strategy really stood out for driving 50 percent of tweets from a mobile device, according to exclusive mobile data from Engagor.
With younger consumers increasingly engaging with social media from their smartphones, savvy merchants are ensuring that mobile is baked into their social strategies. Many of these efforts are still in the nascent stage, with some marketers doing a better job of honing in on how their customers are engaging with brands via mobile than others.
"Through mobile social, these back-to-school campaigns offer the chance to engage with one's favorite brand, quickly and directly," said Folke Lemaitre, CEO/founder of Engagor, San Francisco. "It offers an instant connection, which the consumer values.
"According to Twitter, mobile users are 76 percent more likely to favorite, 66 percent more likely to re-tweet, 46 percent more likely to compose original tweets and 44 percent more likely to click on links," he said.
"Brands should definitely be aware of the value mobile has nowadays and use it to their advantage."
"While we have no way of knowing exactly why Target and Staples have such stronger mobile engagement, we did notice that Target put quite a bit of effort toward cool and unique Instagram videos and generated massive buzz from that."
Facebook engagement
This year, retailers focused heavily on their social channels to promote the back-to-school shopping season.
Office Depot partnered with pop band One Direction to launch its #together anti-bullying campaign, Staples promoted #StaplesHasIt highlighting how it is simplifying shopping for the right technology at appealing prices.
JCPenney leveraged social with the #firstdaylook hash tag to drive awareness around its back-to-school fashion campaign.
Target used social to support is Give with Target program that invites consumers to vote for a school to help Target allocate $5 million in donations for schools.
In an analysis of social media for the these brands between Aug. 13 and Aug. 25, Engagor found that the majority of social mentions around the back-to-school campaigns took place on Facebook, except for Staples where most of the conversation occurred on Twitter.
Additionally, consumers engaged significantly more with retailers on Facebook compared to Twitter.
Response times
In terms of overall volume, Office Depot was the winner with 26,609 social media posts between Aug. 13 and Aug. 25, according to Engagor's research.
Approximately 12 percent of these posts, or 3,136, were Tweets from a mobile device/app. However, Office Depot only responded 134 times to social commentary.
JCPenney was the most responsive in social, responding more than 2,500 times to customers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Overall, JCPenney's #firstdaylook hash tag received 16,900 posts, 11 percent of which were tweets from a mobile device.
Staples responded only 742 times to social commentary, saw 6,394 social posts overall, 25 percent of which came from a mobile device.
Target saw strong mobile social engagement for the campaign
Additionally, Target was the fastest to respond to consumers on Twitter, with an average response time of 1 hour, 15 minutes and 54 seconds. Target received 10,604 social posts overall, 50 percent of which came from a mobile device.
JCPenney came in second at a response time of 4 hours, 51 minutes and 54 seconds.
Customer interaction
The findings point to how it is no longer enough for marketers to just listen to and analyze the social conversations around their brand. Instead, companies need to engage with their consumers to provide value.
Customers not only expect brands to respond to their questions in a timely manner, they also want to engage in real conversations.
"Mobile is increasingly playing a larger role in retailers' marketing campaigns," Mr. Lemaitre said. "For Target and Staples respectively, 49 percent and 25 percent of all posts are tweets from mobile devices.
"Office Depot and J. C. Penney show much lower numbers in mobile buzz, slightly more than 10 percent of all posts on their back-to-school efforts were tweeted from mobile devices," he said.
"With such a high volume of people visiting social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from their mobile devices, it has become one of the most effective ways for a brand to engage with its customers through an avenue they use most often."

One of the sad realities of American politics is that the Democrats, as horrible and evil as they are, are the good guys, and by the good guys, I mean, the alternative to the Republicans.
When you get a Democrat into office, you don't get to stop fighting; you just get to stop fighting evil scumbags who shouldn't even be allowed in the fight in the first place.

When he's outed against his will by a student reporter, Bobby must find a way to earn back his teammates' trust and accept that his path to success might be more public, and more difficult, than he'd hoped.
An affecting novel about identity that also delivers great sportswriting.
©2008 Dutton Juvenile; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"A thought-provoking, funny, and ultimately uplifting story of self-actualization that masterfully defies stereotypes about both coming out and team sports." (School Library Journal)
"No truer words were spoken..."
As a former football player, the character of Bobby Framingham was very personal and relatable. The self-realization and acceptance along with the fear of rejection and betrayal are so pointedly pronounced in this tale. Bobby's journey produces a sense of hope that many can relate to, whether gay or straight. This is not just a 'coming out' story…but a tale that many can relate to when you find yourself Outside of the Pocket! Excellent Book!!
The name is Katie. Account says Kevin, but I'm the one actually listening and writing reviews.
"One of My Favorites"
I listen to a lot of Gay and Lesbian audibooks. As a pansexual and a woman with close friends who are LGBTQ, it's a genre that personally interests me.
A lot of the books available on Audible disappoint me. This one, however, was /wonderful/. It really was.
The main character was this incredible very real teenage boy. I felt for him and was inspired by him both. People react to his sexuality in ways that are realistic to society. The story presents a very real issue without overdoing it and creating pointless drama.
I also love that while there IS a very sweet romantic story line, it's hardly the focus of the novel. The focus is the main character and his experience with coming out and his experiences on the football team.
A truly wonderful story. Three cheers for Bill Konigsberg. :)
"Touching book."
An excellent read. Was very though provoking and touching.
"Not memorable."
I enjoyed this read, but it'll scarcely be remembered. To sum up my review "meh".
"Far too much cheese."
The book itself was predictable, cheesy and kind of boring. The characters didn't so much sound like teenagers as they did 50-year-old divorcees trying to talk to their stepkids in the "foreign lingo". I kept waiting for the moment for the story to grab me, and it just never did. It was commonly worded, and a false sense of drama and forced metaphor hung over the whole narrative. I really hoped for more.
Not much character development.
His performance would have been perfect, if he hadn't of tried different stereotypical voices for the different characters. One of the characters even sounded muppet-like.
The best friend.
"A nice new twist on an old boring story."
A good easy listen with a positive message. It was nice to see the hereo stay the hero for a change.
Young self made business man with plenty of time on the road to enjoy the world of audiobooks.
"feel good"
Had my doubts but was glad i listened to this, Its a good story to listen to while driving
as its easy to follow and just a feel good story.
"A Wonderful Story About A Star Quaterback - Bobby"
The title, "Out of the Pocket," by author Bill Konigsberg writes a great story about a guy named Bobby Framingham and he is the star quarterback at a popular high school in California. He has a great team that he trust, and they all formed a special bond like brothers. His teammates doesn't know that he is gay, and at the time he probably didn't either. However, his life starts to change after visions during inopportune time. They started popping up in his daydreams, telling secrets about himself he hadn't known. Disturbing as these day dreams are to him, initially, they eventually turns into desire. That part of Bobby that he had always known was different from all his other teammates, it reveals itself and he's enlightened after realizing that he is gay.
The story is well written and each character comes to life as Joshua Swanson narrates the story. You can vividly picture each character distinctly as they appear in the story.
The overall story is better than average, a great story. I tend to lean toward stories based off the unknown closet hangers, blinded and bound by their secret until one day reality kicks in and changes their lives forever. The out come will depend on the characters ability to deal with his own acceptance to who he is. Bobby Framingham have a lot to deal with and is forced into spilling his secret to a student reporter. How he deals with it at this point is when the story gets very interesting.
Back stabbing, betrayal, lust, trust, and fear all the makings of a good read. Adding the desire and determination to the story and you know you can't go wrong.
"An enjoyable listen"
As a Brit (the name Americans like to call us) this book gave a glimpse in to the "jock" world with a gay point of view. A coming out story with a difference, and thankfully the author avoids the trap of extremes that you get with these types of books sometimes, so no finding half the football team is really gay, or rejection at every turn.
Most importantly this was an enjoyable listen... I just wish I knew where the pocket was on an American football field!
The narration is good and easy to follow, with reasonably distinct character voices that make conversations easy to track. Having listens to many audio books (mainly main stream, and a few gay themed), this has to be one of the best narrated gay audio books I've come across so far.
"A gripping and affecting story"
I'm not American, do not play football, have never been to High School, and have never suffered the unfortunate exposé that Bobby Framingham did, but I really felt like I was living his life with him. The story had me completely caught up, being scared for Bobby, feeling elated, laughing out loud at times, and crying at others - slightly embarrassing when you are listening in the car!
The writer truly evokes in the reader/listener the incredible emotions that the characters experience as they find out about Bobby's "secret" - you can really feel for a lot of them, whether you are sympathetic to their opinions or not. Often the fear of something is far worse than facing the thing head on, and this is something most of the characters learn eventually. Their reactions struck chords in my own life, and how I have treated people who are "different" - so the story teaches many lessons.
If I have any criticism at all, it is that there is possibly just a little too much crammed into Bobby's life in the duration of the story, but in many ways this serves to heighten the whirlwind experience that he goes through in a very short period in his life.
The number of people that are involved could become confusing, but the narrator helps with his use of voices, and the personalities of the main characters are well defined and well preserved throughout the story. There are some slight hints of stereotypes, but generally these are obvious and deliberate, so there is no cringe factor.
I congratulate the author on writing such an affecting and interesting book, which should be compulsory reading/listening for High School aged students and sportsmen alike. May be Bobby Framingham could be an inspiration to more real-life sportsmen to come out of the pocket/closet.

It turns out that Dr Strange might not be the only weird thing associated with SHIELD. Recently we had a tremor in the force about a SHIELD tablet, and it turns out that we were right.
A screen capture of Nvidia Tegrazone has confirmed the existence of a SHIELD tablet which has a Tegra K1 at its nerve centre. It also comes in an 8-inch format.
Smart money is that it will have a 5GHz Wireless LAN as this is one of Nvidia requirements to stream the games over the Gamestream. Since the tablet is called SHIELD we expect that streaming of PC games will be a big selling point for this device, but probably with no Marvell tie-ups – sorry Sky fans.
Tech report readers was the one to spot it, and it is a nice catch. We expect to see SHIELD tablet shipping earliest in July.

Thousands of fish are dying in the Midwest as the hot, dry summer dries up rivers and causes water temperatures to climb in some spots to nearly 100 degrees.
Biologists in Illinois said the hot weather has killed tens of thousands of large- and smallmouth bass and channel catfish and is threatening the population of the greater redhorse fish, a state-endangered species.
So many fish died in one Illinois lake that the carcasses clogged an intake screen near a power plant, lowering water levels to the point that the station had to shut down one of its generators.
"It's something I've never seen in my career, and I've been here for more than 17 years," said Mark Flammang, a fisheries biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. "I think what we're mainly dealing with here are the extremely low flows and this unparalleled heat."
The fish are victims of one of the driest and warmest summers in history. The federal U.S. Drought Monitor shows majority of Illinois is experiencing severe drought, while nearly three-fourths of the state is experiencing extreme drought weather.
