Here is my cwtchy, oversized, black number. It was inspired from cutting 2 huge squares and placing them on the body with 4 holes for the legs, arms and neck and then refining the shape into something wearable with a big comfy neck/hood. I am pairing it with a white bamboo slinky long sleeved layer underneath with thumb holes. Nice and Snuggly!
Also no day is complete without 100 tea breaks...it is medicine for the brain :)

Unlike some other porn performers, redheaded beauty Audrey Hollander doesn't hide the fact that she's an adult actress. In fact, she has made her porn career into a family affair, performing right alongside her husband, Otto Bauer, while making them a true adult films power couple.
Audrey Hollander was born in Alexandria, Virginia in November of 1979 and grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. She entered the adult industry at the age of 24 and was very active between 2003-2011. She met her husband Otto Bauer while on vacation in Florida with some friends. They met at a sidewalk café in South Beach and it was love at first site for them both. He proposed right away and she impulsively said yes.
When they met, Bauer had already been active in the porn industry in New York City, shooting several scenes for Candida Royalle, Pleasure Productions, Rick Savage and others under the name Eric Jeter. After the two came back to the Big Apple, he suggested that they start doing scenes together. Because of her liberal attitude, she was excited about the idea of appearing on film, so she agreed and they began practicing their scenes from their own amateur bedroom.
After a while, the couple had collected nearly 60 scenes filmed their bedroom and started distributing them on the pro-am porn circuit. The response was huge and Audrey Hollander was soon trying her luck on the West Coast, moving into porn valley full time.
In Los Angeles, Audrey Hollander landed her first professional adult scene in "More Dirty Debutantes 268" with Ed Powers. After appearing in her first scene, her pornstar career skyrockted and she went on to star in nearly 300 productions for many of the top studios including Digital Sin, Adam and Eve, Sin City, Metro, Robert Hill Releasing, New Sensations, Juicy Entertainment, Hustler Video, Anabolic, Devil's Films and others. Performing as a married couple wasn't always easy for the couple. They both had their reservations but were able to overcome them. Watching her spouse fucking another woman was a turn on for Audrey Hollander, although she did admit that it was hard to do at first. After a while, and several scenes, she kept reminding herself that her husband and the other female performer were just playing characters for a porn movie and that they weren't making love - just having sex. It's amazing that most women can't make the same connection Audrey made to allow for a truly open relationship.
As for Otto Bauer, he also considered doing porn with his wife a turn on, but faced his own challenges. One of his bigger issues allegedly, that caused him anxiety, was watching another man with a much larger penis than himself, plow his wife's ass, but in the end according to their prolific portfolio it seems he was able to get over it.
Later in her career, Otto and Audrey began Directing their own line of adult titles, starting with the "Otto and Audrey Destroy the World" series of films. The power couple also created their own porn production called "Supercore," which was distributed by Mach2 Entertainment. Audrey Hollander got her first director's credit on the Mach 2 movie "pASSionate Love."
In 2005, Audrey Hollander won her first AVN industry award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene for "The Violation of Audrey Hollander" starring Gia Paloma, Ashley Blue, Tyla Wynn, Brodi and Kelly Kline. The same year, she also won an XRCO Award for Best Girl/Girl for her performance in "The Violation of Audrey Hollander." The following year, she nabbed Best International Actress honors at the Venus Paris Fair/EuroEline Awards.
Then in 2006, Audrey Hollander won AVN Awards for the highly-coveted Female Performer of the Year; Best Group Sex Scene for "Squealer" with Smokey Flame, Jassie, Kimberly Kane, Otto Bauer, Scott lyons, Kris Slater and Scott Nails; and Best Anal Sex Scene for "Sentenced" starring Otto Bauer.
In 2007, the couple struck a deal to put clips from their "Supercore" series online, and a year later, she added one more award to her collection. She received AVN's Most Outrageous Sex Scene Award for "Ass Blasing Felching Anal Whores" with Cindy Crawford and Rick Masters. The fiery redhead continues to be featured in many hardcore scenes and now specializes in fetish videos.
During the course of her porn career, Audrey Hollander has established herself as an "anal queen" and has become well known for her double penetration and double anal videos. She is a true porn professional, maintaining her energy and stamina for the entire duration of the scene and always knows when to make eye contact with the camera, to make sure the viewer feels involved in the action.
However, it's not only her anal performances where she shines; she also excels at her oral ability, often inhaling two cocks at the same time. Her willingness to be used as a fuckdoll, where cocks enter her mouth, ass, and then mouth again for a hot load down her throat is something her fans adore.
Audrey Hollander does her scenes with intensity and fire whether she is tied up with her tits clamped, or getting her holes stuffed from both ends. She has succeeded in proving to the adult world that she is one tough kinky bitch. From huge butt plugs, to face sitting, orgasms, ass hooks, tight rope and anal fisting, this feisty redhead takes it all. She also likes to push the boundaries of lesbian domination. She likes it rough and dirty, and her multiple awards show that the industry appreciates and respects her hard work.
Admitting in online interviews that she is very sexually submissive in real life, but is able to play a dominant role depending on her partner - if a girl she's with is submissive, she just takes over. Audrey Hollander also prefers to be submissive with male performers. She enjoys fetish shoots because there are less limits them. For her, it's a challenge to see how far she can go. She also likes to play with all the toys, gadgets, whips and gizmos on the fetish shoots. Adorned by several tattoos on her body, including a butterfly on her lower right abdomen, a scorpion over her lower back, a turtle inside her left ankle and between her shoulder blades she is a living work of art. When not doing double anal, Audrey Hollander likes to garden and paint. She would also like to be signed on with a major company and eventually get into directing films from a female's perspective of hardcore sex more regularly. Enjoy the best free Audrey Hollander porn videos any time, right here on Porn.com!Mehr lesen

I had purchased 3 pink cups for 3 daughters, to acknowledge my breast cancer survival. They use theirs constantly. I wanted one too, so bought myself a yellow one.
Great product!
Posted by etafb on 21st Dec 2014
Love the color! The cup does its job by keeping the beverages hot or cold. It is easy to handle, is dishwasher safe, and maintains its balance helping me keep liquids in the cup and not on me.
Posted by chris on 4th Aug 2014
i've been looking for a collapsible cup made in the usa that i could carry in my purse for months now and was thrilled to finally find the collapse-a-cup; it is exactly what i was looking for; i hate styrofoam and have always hated getting a "to go cup" when i'm out and this solves that problem; it takes innovative people like this to help find alternatives to styrofoam - it's so much easier to avoid the whole recycling thing when you don't use something in the first place!

The cereal boxes! We love them a lot, especially because the back of the cereal boxes always had something interesting for us. From cardboard cars and cartoon characters to comic stories, jokes, and puzzles etc., we loved to flip a cereal box around and see the other side.
Not that the front side of the same funny cereal boxes is any less attractive or engaging. The use of colors, graphics, design, and words etc. seem to be all geared towards achieving the maximum custom attention and engagement.
Many people do not know that the cereal companies hire graphic designers, creative artists and writers to create a particular image of the cereal box for the people who appreciate good jokes, riddles, quotes, good design, craft, and colors etc.
What if I tell you that if not in near future, somewhere in the future the big or mini cereal boxes that you treasure, will become obsolete? Well, it will not be because cereal will be skipped from the breakfast, but because the cereal boxes will lose their effectiveness to the standup pouch bags.
Let us get to the bottom of it. Here are the undeniable reasons why cereal companies would soon give up on the good cereal boxes:
1. Cost
The cost of cereal boxes will prove to be the biggest turn-off. The cereal boxes are made of cardboard and each cardboard box costs from 30 to 35 cents. This definitely does not look much but when you imagine getting hundreds of thousands of boxes for your product, it becomes a big amount.
In comparison to this cost there comes the standup pouch; this standup pouch bag made of equally biodegradable materials will cost only from 15 to 20 cents. This means that at each bag you will save roughly 15 cents. Again, this seems to be a small saving, but when you think of getting hundreds of thousands of bags, it turns up to be a big saving.
2. Environmental Hazards
We humans have already done a lot to destroy the balance of this planet's eco-system. The resources and the materials involved in making those small cereal boxes, simply make them less biodegradable and recyclable. Why? It is because more than one different materials and complex processes make a product hard to biodegrade and be recycled.
To the contrary, the standup pouch bags made of paper are simple products. They can easily be recycled and they are fast to biodegrade.
3. Safety
The cardboard cereal boxes are safe but once they are recycled and the material is used to make the same product again: a cereal box, research says that those cereal boxes are actually not safe to pack food products. The recycled cardboard may have some chemicals added to it that may penetrate into the food packed inside it and thus make it dangerous for humans, especially kids.
4. Marketing by Packaging
All of us know that the 'P' of packaging is now considered one of the most important 'P's of the marketing. This is why all companies go for customized packaging. However, the observation proves that cardboard boxes' cubic shape and solid stature do not allow them to have the maximum reach to the customers. To the contrary, the standup pouch bags have an arch-like front shape that is more visible and also they do not have to sit in the shelves; they can also be hung to the ceiling or the walls.
So, based on these reasons and a few others, it can be predicted that the age of cereal boxes will be over in future.

Typing words of truth
Into an empty silence
Still, the words are there
Long, slow listening, learning
Telling tales of patient growth
It seems they compete
Who is the coolest tonight?
And the most aloof?
Interrupting is the dance
Their give and take tango moves
What is supported?
Why do they all show up here?
Something about love
Sharing tales of pain and fear
The bright shining heart unfurled
A group united
Like every group there is
By some idea
His tale of witnessed abuse
And the violence of words
They do share themselves
And some of their successes
As words fill the screen
Hers: pressed fingers, baby feet
Leaving their marks on her skin
Some leave to chase cats
Others drive to get ice cream
The group continues
Ethical slut? No such thing!
She keeps her eyes firmly closed
There are subgroups here
Private talks, secret sharing
Safely out of view
The ex does not care to know
That the love belongs at home
Is already difficult
Not typed in real time
Did I just say "does not care"?
There's a wall there, blocking it
Bits moving in wires
Conveying the feeble tries
To make connection
She likes this virtual world
Virtual people and all
Is this how it was
Before language? There were looks
And furtive gestures
He comes from a world long gone
In that, we are all the same
Trying to create
common ground, it gets compressed
And hard to grow things
How to understand the link?
Is analysis needed?
Out of the main group
Of F.A.Q.ers supreme
Refugees chat on
Connections of breathy words
Drawn out of asthmatic lungs
Divorce, the cheater
Simultaneously is
A chance to be new
As the talking progresses
A simple "Boop" brings a laugh
Ever new, the group
Contains the hopes and the fear
Of those who attend
Tears come to him suddenly
As the link is strengthening
Like some burrowing
Insects from a Heinlein book
Communities grow
He tells her of his feelings
And surprise! She hears his truth
Forming tunnels of
Connected human hopes and
Disconnected lines
There is a sweetness there too
"Black Sheep" is an idea
So we play this game
This imperfect game of friends
Moving through the world
He is deeply touched at heart
And yet needs to hold it back
The mating, baiting
continues from week to week
Closing Saturdays
Their tales draw to tonight's close
Open hearts freed up to speak
All of a sudden
It's over, in a big rush
The empty room rings
They are feeling tired now
The morning light appearing
They go to their beds
Alone, together, sweetly
caressing, or not
The final goodbyes are said
And he hangs up, bed-ward bound

I know I've just literally posted my first Empties not that long ago and it may look like I'll be doing one blog post a month about products I've used up, but that's not quite the case. Ever since I cleaned up my space and got rid of some out of date items (surprisingly, there were't that many), I really wanted to ensure I used up everything I have open and in rotation before I go ahead using another product.
I love trying new skincare and body care items, just as much as I enjoy trying new makeup and for the most part, I'm really good with finishing products. I use a heck of everything I have, be it moisturiser, body lotion, face masks and what not. That's really the only way to check if something works or not, just by using it regularly. So here's a second 'Empties' post containing some products I used up.
Starting with makeup, I have two lip products and eye liner that I finished recently. First one is Phyto Lip Twist from Sisley, which is a lipstick / lipgloss hybrid. I loved this little guy. Mine was in colour 01 Nude, which is neutral brown and I've been using it almost every day. It feels extremely soft, buttery, creamy and moisturising on the lips, applies very nicely and provides just enough amount of sheen to the lips to make them look healthy and plump. I used it on its own, for a soft wash of colour or on top of darker lip liner, such as MAC Stripdown, for deeper, darker shade. If it wasn't for the fact that I have a lot of other lip products to use up, I'd definitely grab a few more colours. Beautiful!!
I finished one of Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque liquid lipstick. I did a separate blog post on these, so won't go into details, check it here if you need more info and swatches. This is in colour 01, light rosy pink, and I used it mostly at home when I needed a bit of something on my lips. The colour doesn't stay on my lips for too long and the watery feeling isn't really my thing, but I seemed to have used this one surprisingly fast. I have a couple of more colours left, which I will get into and definitely will use up, but I won't be repurchasing.
The Clinique quickliner for eyes in Really Black has been one of my favourites eyeliners and over the years I've gone through a bunch of these. They work beautifully either on the lid or in the waterline, not smudging, always staying put and surviving even those 'watery eye' kind of days. They include a little smudge sponge on one side and liner on the other. One thing I didn't like about this one is the packaging. Once you twist out too much product, you cannot twist it back inside, it seems to only work on way, which can make you waste a bit of product, or dry it out quicker, if you're not careful. So tiny bit at a time is the rule with this one. Other than that, really good eyeliner.
One hand cream I finished recently is from The Body Shop and it's one of those purse friendly, mini tubes that I absolutely love. There is a selection of different scents and they all smell divine. They're not too greasy and absorb quickly, but at the same time provide enough moisture to my often very dry hands to make them feel soft and comfortable again. Perfect on the go and fit into small makeup bag. I love these little guys and always pick up a bunch on duty free, so I can always carry at least one with me.
I picked up this anti perspirant roll on from Balea while in Germany some time ago. I really liked the Pink Pomelo scent, very refreshing, sweet and fruity. That's pretty much it though. Although I don't suffer from excessive sweating, I found this product useless to keep my underarms dry and fresh for half a day, let alone morning to night. It may be ok for those lazy days of doing absolutely nothing, just sitting on the sofa and smelling good, but I don't get too many of these…It totally didn't work for me so will not be buying again.
I have always been a bit of a moisturising freak. I love the feeling of soft, subtle skin and moisturise religiously morning and night after shower. This Sanctuary Spa Feather Light moisture spray was great for a quick morning routine. Before this one I used to enjoy Vaseline Spray and Go moisturiser which was great. This one feels just a bit more oily at the beginning, but it absorbs really quick, smells delicious and leaves my skin feeling very soft for a long time. It's also in a spray form, so very quick to apply, which is exactly what I need early morning. I feel Sanctuary Spa is one of those underrated brands, not mentioned too often but they have so many amazing products and this is definitely one of them.
When it comes to self tanning, I have been back and forth over the years, from not using anything and steering clear from all this faff that comes with it, to using self tanner constantly, always making sure I had some colour on me. Last summer was definitely self tan all the way! I'm finding it hard to embrace my paleness and just don't feel comfortable being pale. I think having subtle bronze colour makes me look healthier and it just feels good. Simple as that. This Self Tan Bronzing Mousse from St. Tropez was really good. I have a tiny bit left in there, but I worry it's so little, it will run out by the time I cover my whole body, plus it's from last year, so I call it done. I really enjoy St. Tropez products in general and find them quick to apply, streak free, giving this beautiful natural looking tan. I won't be repurchasing this one, because since then I went through Self Tan Express 1-3 hour and I liked that one better, it gave me a bit darker tan much quicker. But if you're after just a very subtle, soft, healthy tan, then this one works great for that.
All right, now I can put all this empty packaging to where it belongs, da bin. Please don't be surprised if I come up with another one of these pretty soon. I do have some products I'm flying through and I don't like there too be too many per post because (as you've probably already noticed) I can talk… and nobody has time for that…Let me know what products you've used up recently. Would you repurchase or was it a waste of money? I'm always interested to know. Until next time xxx

Statins Do Not Interfere with Rituximab Treatment for Lymphomas, Mayo Clinic Study Finds
A medication review recently performed at our clinic identified a potential drug interaction with concurrent use of atorvastatin (Lipitor) and rituximab may result in decreased rituximab efficacy and impaired CD20 detection, according to Micromedex Online.
I had encountered the same interaction early last year and investigated further into this theoretically troublesome combination.
Micromedex Online (accessed June 2, 2010) states:
"Use caution when prescribing atorvastatin to patients who receive rituximab, as concomitant use of atorvastatin may cause interference with antilymphoma activity of rituximab. Atorvastatin may also interfere with the detection of CD20 binding to lymphocytes used to diagnose lymphomas (Winiarska et al, 2008)."
*However, upon further review of the reference Micromedex states in noting the theoretical major interaction between statins and rituximab, a further study has since been done by Grzegorz Nowakowski, M.D., Mayo Clinic hematologist, and others presented Dec 8/2008 at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology in San Francisco. The results of this study "can provide reassurance to oncologists and their patients that statins will not reduce the effectiveness of rituximab and may in fact improve outcomes of some patients with lymphomas."
Conclusion: "This study shows we should not be concerned of the patient being on Lipitor (atorvastatin) while being treated with rituximab."
Please see the following link for more information:
I will also be contacting the makers of Micromedex to inform them of this conflicting information.

Should we break up?Asked by an Anonymous User on with 1 answer:
I am trying to decide whether I should break up with my live-in boyfriend of three years. It is very hard to decide because he has given up a lot of his own life just to be with me and I genuinely feel love for him, however it is really hard to continue living with somebody who I fight with all the time.
We met when I was at college in New York. After we had become intimate and had been so for about three months, I found out he was married. In addition, I found out he had a son with his current wife and another son from a past relationship. I wanted to let go, but couldn't. He eventually left his wife and came to live with me.
After a year, I landed my dream job as a diplomat and it implied moving to the country where I was assigned. He agreed to come along with me and we were there for eight months. Now, I have been assigned to work in S.America, and he followed me here too, even though he does not speak the language or have any activities to do here except Spanish classes. He does ALL the work around the house except for the cooking, which I do. He still travels back to NYC often (with me most times) to see his kids and he has a good relationship with them despite the distance.
Currently, I am feeling horrible because we fight constantly (three to four times a month) and I don't know if I can take it anymore. I must admit that many times I get physical during arguments and have thrown things, threatened and hit him before. There is no way for me to actually hurt him physically because he is very strong and tough… but I always feel guilty because of my lack of self-control. Sometimes I also drink too much and spew out hurtful words that I don't remember the next day, until he tells me about them. More guilt for me.
We usually fight about the same issues. The most common reason for our fighting my complaints that he hardly ever talks to me, to which he always replies that I do not accept his personality. When we first met he used to talk a lot, I don't know if it is my fault that he changed. In any case, when we spend time, it is really silent and I always feel bored and ignored. I constantly wonder what he is thinking about.
Whenever I ask him questions like "What are you thinking?", "Why are you so quiet?" or "Are you OK?" he gets mad and we have an argument. During such arguments, he always finds a way to bring back one past issue in particular: During the first year of our relationship I reached out to my ex-boyfriend by email a few times, and my current boyfriend found out. I used to have a horrible cheating pattern, I cheated on ALL my other ex's. However, although I did contact my ex at first during this relationship, I regretted it and stopped it ever since. This is the first guy I did not cheat on… and would never cheat on.
Besides the many issues I talked about, there are a few more, most importantly the fact that my parents hate him because I told them about one of the biggest fights we had, which got physical (mainly on my part, again).
I want to make things work, but I am afraid that this relationship has been irreparably damaged and I just do not know if it is fair to break up with a guy that has followed me to a foreign country and left it all for me. ¿Can it be fixed? ¿Am I just hurting him more by staying together? ¿Why can't I just let go of this relationship? HELP!
A: I can't tell you what to do on the basis of a letter. There are too many things I don't know. But I can ask you to consider a few things. You met this man when you were only 21. You finished your education and followed your career dream, apparently successfully. Perhaps a guy who looked good to you at 21 isn't so interesting now that you are older, educated, and in daily contact with other people who are trying to make a difference. It's commendable that your boyfriend is doing all the household work, but is he also doing things that are helping him grow and be the kind of person you would be interested in having as a friend and colleague? I suspect that at least some of the fighting is about your disappointment in his apparent lack of ambition or interest in work or other activities. Perhaps the two of you don't talk much because he doesn't have much to talk about.
That being said, there is never a reason to get physical with someone you love – or even someone you don't. Harsh words aren't going to change things. Throwing things and hitting each other will only diminish your respect for each other and for yourselves. Those kinds of blowups generally are born of enormous frustration. I'm guessing he's frustrated that you want more from him. You're frustrated that he doesn't want more for himself. I'm very happy that you haven't added cheating to the equation. It does strike me that it's entirely possible that you no longer cheat because you have grown up and matured. I do think it's unfair for him to bring up a "contact" with an ex back when you were 21 as ammunition when he has left two women with children to raise on their own.
It may be that he "left it all" for you. It's also possible he left it all for himself. Did following you mean that he doesn't have to think about what he is going to do about having a profession or supporting his children in a meaningful way? Does living in South America get him off the hook from becoming a fully functioning adult?
It might be helpful for the two of you to take a big step back. He could go "home" to New York and figure out his own life while you do this tour. When you get back together, you'll be able to see him through the eyes of the mature professional woman you are now instead of the college student you once were. At that point, he may have made some changes and you may be in a better position to evaluate whether this guy is the one for you.
I wish you well.
Dr. Marie

New Delhi — A daylong photo exhibitions on His Holiness the Dalai Lama Biography and Indo-Tibet Relations, held at FICCI, Near Mandi House, New Delhi, on January 25, 2016.
At the invitation of the BIGNNING – the organizer of the Connect Northeast – the Culture and Business Fest 2016, the event was organized by the Tibet Museum of the Department of Information and International Relations of the Central Tibetan Administration, according to the Tibetan administration media.

The event was held to bring together the diverse culture and heritage of the North East on a common platform and connect it with the rest of India. It was also aimed to attract investment in all sectors and economic activities in northeast region.
Around one thousands participants consisting of students and entrepreneurs joined the daylong festival and also visited the Tibet Museum's exhibitions on His Holiness Biography and Indo-Tibet Relations.
"Excellent portrayal of Dalai Lama's momentous journey of life and his ideals. May god bless him for many more years of life and health so that he continues to guide us," Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region.

"It is a privilege for me to have this opportunity to view this photo exhibition of world leaders supporting the cause of Tibet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama," said Mr Indresh Kumar.
"The exhibit is very moving and refreshing. However in last several years, people of India and abroad have come out on the roads and streets in large numbers in support of Tibet. It would be good to have some additional panels with their photographs and their wishes for Tibet. My heart felt congratulations for the wonderful exhibition," said Mr Kumar added.

The pastor of donkey church realised that he was going to starve as collection dwindled every Sunday. Then he made a plan.
After a hectic advertising campaign the church was packed the following Sunday. The Pastor, in full cry yelled " Jesus said "I'll come as a dove"
Church members: "Amen"
Pastor: "I say Jesus said "I'll come like a dove"
Members: " Amen"
And suddenly out of the ceiling came a white dove. The Members, having witnessed a miracle started donating bucks like no man's business. The pastor was excited and in an attempt to increase his profits kept repeating his formula.
For the 4th time he yelled. For the 4th time money kept flowing.
Then he went for the fifth. " I have prophesied, Jesus shall surely come like a doooooooove from the skies."Suddenly a head appeared out of the ceiling and complained " But daddy all the doves are finished "

I've made a habit out of getting my nails done regularly. I've been doing it for years for a few reasons. One, it makes my hands look pretty and two, I like to treat myself to a little pampering sometimes. Everybody should do it. Self neglect is the leading cause of bad moods, you know. So to avoid being a groucho, I get my nails done. It makes me smile. It's an amazing little handheld computer with full access to the internet, iPod capabilities and applications ranging from health news updates to time killing games. CND recently added 12 new colors to the line, and while one could attempt to apply the product by them selves, it is not recommended. The lacquer itself is extremely thick and requires precision while being applied or lines will be very visible. The drying process in-between the layers requires UV lights and must not encounter any lint or dust as each layer dries. You should never forget the fact that a proper nail care is the most important aspect of having attractive finger nails. This depends not only on applying nail designs but on taking regular, nutritious foods. You should always ensure to have enough doses of vitamins and minerals and of course, proteins. A fiber diet is always better than junk foods, processed foods and oily and spicy foods. You should also be careful to protect your finger nails from getting hurt or injured. Harsh detergents and cleaning agents may harm your finger nails and therefore, you should avoid using them. You can use gloves at the time of doing household chores. The idea of sophistication is always a part of the French manicure. Most of the members of the elite society choose this nail design in order to have a classy look. This is the reason why brides al so paint their nails with this design. It makes them look elegant and regal. The white tip on each nail resembles purity. Whether it refers to the purity of intention to tie the knot or the purity of love that she feels for her groom the idea is the same. A nail stylist uses various techniques in order to attain the preferred effect. Acrylic nails are stuck on the nails in order to extended them. This works best for people who do not have long nails or chipped nails. The nails can then be polished with any color and smoothened to give it a natural look. Nail art is an imaginative process and people can get their nails painted or stick different gems or water based decals. Nail Art has become very popular with beginners because of the many options available. These include designs, colors, jewelry, stickers, and the best applicators. Many of these options were not easily obtained by the general public until now. Most company is so tickled with the change, they forget about those pink and whites and appearance toward your following acrylic design fill appointment. You're happy, your client's happy and you didn't kill yourself attempting to perform the impossible.

Led Lights on a bathroom mirror are much more environmentally friendly than halogen lights but this one also has rechargeable batteries which I have never seen before.
The mirror has very low energy but high intensity LED lights which use less power than usual bathroom mirror lighting, the batteries will last 30 – 35 hours on one charge and the batteries are the advanced Ni-Mh type so they should last 1000 charges so no throw away batteries there.
It is nice to see practical ideas that are also eco friendly.
There are 3 different LED Bathroom mirrors to choose from the HIB Vinni, HIB Henry and The HIB Oliver and you can view them here on Tapstore.com

Passengers feared for their lives when told to brace for impact after hearing "a loud disturbing noise" off the coast of Western Australia.
Passengers thought they were going to die when a Malaysia Airlines flight was forced to turn around and make an emergency landing in Alice Springs after reported engine failure at 5.46pm local time.
Those aboard Flight MH122 travelling from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur, heard loud banging sounds, felt violent shaking, were kept in the dark for 15 minutes, and then told to brace for impact.
"The fight attendant came on and said the pilot will give a 30-second warning before impact," Donna Edwards told Channel 9.
"One of the crew stopped near us and one guy said 'are we crashing or are we landing?' The crew member said 'I don't know'. We were just bracing for the worst. I thought I was going to die."
We were just bracing for the worst. I thought I was going to die.
Chin Kanani told the ABC his wife became alarmed when she started hearing unusual sounds.
"She said she was on the loo when she started hearing loud banging noises from the right-hand side of the plane and that's when all it started," Mr Kanani said.
"It was like hell this flight and they were told to be ready for an emergency landing."
Another passenger Mohamad Nogheib, said the "engine started making a weird sound", before they turned around off the coast of Western Australia.
"I was scared for my life, I'm not going to lie," he added. While another passenger recalled "very violent shaking".
In a tweet, Sanjeev Pandey said the staff were far from reassuring.
"The scariest part was that once the engine started to make a loud disturbing noise, the flight attendants all seemed nervous n clueless. For around 15 mins, there was no announcement," he wrote.
#malaysian airlines #mh122. Emergency landing at Alice Springs. The scariest part was that once the engine started to make a loud disturbing noise, the flight attendants all seemed nervous n clueless. For around 15 mins, there was no announcement.15 mins were as long as 15 hours!
— Sanjeev Pandey (@sppandey81) January 18, 2018
Malaysia Airlines said the flight was diverted due to technical reasons.
"Safety was not at any time compromised and the commanding captain decided to divert the flight for technical assistance," it said in a statement.
"Malaysia Airlines is also working very hard to reallocate passengers with onward connections on to the next available flights to their destination.
"Safety at all times is Malaysia Airlines' number one priority."
Another black mark against Malaysia Airlines
Yesterday's air scare coincides with the resumption of the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished without a trace in 2014.
US-based exploration firm Ocean Infinity will comb 25,000 square kilometres of seabed in the Southern Indian Ocean, a zone identified by the previous three-year search as the likely resting place of the doomed plane.
Since the disappearance, and MH17 being shot down over Ukraine, Malaysia Airlines has lost millions of potential customers and three CEOs. The most recent, Peter Bellew, resigned in October after less than 18 months in charge, after previously saying, the turnaround of Malaysia Airlines would be "the greatest achievement of my life".
The airline's owner, the state investment fund Khazanah, has said it plans to re-list the airline's shares on the stock exchange in 2019. However the management turnover, and yesterday's forced emergency landing, all contribute to making the turnaround that much more difficult.

TRAFFIC: Weekend Jambalaya: Big Damn Downtown Hole
Indianapolis traffic is a fragile ecosystem. A well-opportuned crash on the downtown interstates can add some serious travel time heading back to the bunker. It's no different on Indy's heavily travelled inner-city commuter routes, just like - to name a few - Capitol, Illinois, Pendleton Pike, Binford, 31 north/south side, and...
Delaware Street.
(Travelers would survive without this - therefore not part of the ecosystem)
Holy hole hell, did carpocolypsegeddon commence Wednesday afternoon. Delaware - a northbound one-way with interstate access to the north split - was closed for a block because of giant hole opened up in the middle of the road and decided get comfy on both sides of the street. Just a block, but sweet baby Jesus, someone call the law.
(The hole wasn't metered, creating a free parking opportunity downtown. Trust me, your would have fit)
The reaction was World War III. Hand gestures, double parking, dogs grew horns and became goats - gave milk, people stopped fornicating under the 10th St. underpass, and even fat boy Kim Jong Un (thanks Hammer and Nigel) shot a rocket over Japan to voice his displeasure of Indianapolis traffic patterns. I wasn't there, but I heard rumors.
Anyways, ecosystem. Take a look at this. These are your options if you remove Delaware St. from your evening commute home.
(Photo credit: Department of Business and Neighborhood Services)
(Instead, take westbound I-70 to the airport and fly to Chicago. Take southbound I-65 through Lebanon).
So what happened??
The hole was NOT a Sinkhole. I've lived downtown my entire Indianapolis life. My first apartment was at the corner of Delaware and Vermont. If I had gotten a whiff that a sinkhole opened up across the street, I would have jumped my lease and let the authorities never take me alive.
Fact is, the ground did not open up and swallow your cat. The hole was part of an ongoing construction project on Delaware St. - a sewer connect that's lasted for a week and-a-half. Someone turned their shovel wrong way or something and the whole thing caved in - therefore the closure. I'm calling this a win, because it beats an infrastructure problem that could be perpetual. Not the case.
(Then again, that looks like fun)
We had it and covered it on Twitter because we're silky smooth. You better hop on now before we can't take anymore followers. So much full:
GIANT HOLE DOWNTOWN‼🕳 | Unbelievable. Hole the size of my car has opened up on Delaware, which is now closed from North to Walnut @93wibc
— WIBC Traffic (@WIBCTraffic) September 13, 2017
BIG DOWNTOWN HOLE UPDATE‼🕳 | Delaware St. down to 2 lanes at North St because of a big fat hole. It's covered,but expect more work today pic.twitter.com/GVRyjEJkOA
— WIBC Traffic (@WIBCTraffic) September 14, 2017
The center lanes of Delaware St. from North St. to Walnut St are still closed, with the outside lanes still open. Dimiti Kyser of the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services - formerly the Department of Code Enforcement - said the entire project should be done by Friday night, September 15th. No more delays - Delaware St. becomes a drag strip again. Hooray!
Take a deep breath and I'll walk you through this. In the north split, the ramp from westbound I-70 to southbound I-65 is closed from Friday night at 9:00pm to Monday morning at 6:00am. Back in March, a semi turned itself into a forty-ton candle by taking the corner too fast and consequently nailed the barrier. Amazing. That's a corner you can't take fast, even in my car that's made for a teenager.
Here it is. If you're heading into downtown from Greensburg - maybe for a bit at Shapiro's on McCarty before hitting Indy Irish Fest Saturday (why not) - you'll be directed to the collector ramp that runs parallel to the main drag of southbound I-65.
(Photo credit: INDOT)
If you've been following the WIBC Traffic Blog with regularity - it is essential to your health - you'll recall the collector ramp distributes interstate traffic to the city streets. Expect to see signs that say "Michigan St/New York St/Ohio St." If you see these signs, then you know you're going the right way. Be ready to exit onto westbound I-70 and jump off on East St. The rest is the history, as you make it.
If you're heading to Florida to check on your retirement home, expect an inconvenience or two as you head to the world's greatest airport. From Friday night at 9:00pm to Monday morning at 6:00am, the right lanes of Ronald Reagan/Ameriplex Pkwys will be closed. Additionally - and unrelated to air travel - you won't be able to go north on Ronald Reagan from I-70 East, or south onto Ameriplex from I-70 West.
(Photo credit: INDOT)
Good God I hate this road, and I've driven it maybe four times in my life. A portion of State Road 135 is shutting down just south of Morgantown, meaning more traffic could be pushed onto State Road 37 just south of Martinsville. Not kidding. Detour:
(Photo credit: INDOT)
I've taken so many calls (thank you!) on how nightmarish SR 37 is from Indy to Bloomington. This should be a small addition to traffic to an already spot of sucktitude. If this was post-apocolyptic Indiana - coming in 2025 - brigands would storm the stopped traffic and raid the coolers. After all, even in the distant future, you have to stock up for Sundays, so why not leave everyone alone and just get your booze. Our statehouse "leaders" will be in a committee meeting or doing a study on the proper temperature of cold beer - or something. Or probing.
Hey, let the good times roll! Irish Fest! Oktoberfest! Colts are going to great - and they are great!!! So great! Read on!
Exceptional music and company of a gregarious sort. Plus redheads.. lots of redheads.
Be careful. In my humble experience, hanging with redheads is like riding the Zipper at the county fair - lots of fun, but you're one loose nut away from instant death. Seriously, be ready to duck when the trolley jumps the tracks.
**Expect traffic around the west side of downtown, especially around Military Park and campus. Fun stuff. Go. Through Sunday.
Indianapolis Wine Fest
This is what Georgia Street is meant to do - offer upstart festivals a chance to show their stuff while allowing an opportunity to grow their community. Why isn't there one every weekend, from Spring to Fall? Non-related convention traffic would have a blast mingling over - just for something else to do.
**The south lane of Georgia street will be closed next to the Indiana Convention Center on Friday from 3:00pm - 11:00pm and Saturday from 1:00pm - 10:00pm. Plan accordingly. Not for the traffic so much, but for the Uber.

Klipsch: Luke Bryan: Huntin', Fishin', and Lovin' Everyday Tour 2017
Damn it. I had to ask biscuits again about a country music concert. Skip to Sunday:
ME: Have you ever seen Luke Bryan?
Biscuits: YES! My favorite
He's hot and good
Me: Are you going this weekend? What was the concert experience like?
Biscuits: There's always a ton of people. He's popular.
When I was a kid, Dad and I drove her to the depths of rural northern Indiana. He'd open the back door to the cutlass and be like "you're free. Go." She kept finding her way back.
Hammer and Nigel are ready to party some. Stop by Georgia street and give 'em a yell. They'll probably start around 5:00am and a case deep by pregame. Fun stuff. Listen on 93 WIBC.
I have four tickets to the Colts home opener and I can't give 'em away. Colts' head coach Chuck Pagano - or who I'll call "tricky Chuck" - hasn't announced his quarterback for Sunday. What kind of secrets are we hiding? What kind of diabolical trap is he going to sping on Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals? Give me a break.
UPDATE: Colts are starting the guy from New England. I'm guessing it's Brady.
Normally I'd get all blustery and red face over the traffic around downtown during a Colts' game, but there's this:

Whoa hey! $10 tickets! Full house! The monster is built!
**There will be traffic downtown - it's the Colts home opener. As always, be safe and leave early - probably in third quarter.
My favorite part of talking traffic is when I have details. Sure, I see the importance when there's a wreck at Fall Creek and Keystone, but it's all the better when I can say "people are moving to the right on Keystone because of a two car crash at Fall Creek." That's when we're really helping people. The tips were so great this week, we were able to do just that with frequency. Much, much appreciated.
I encourage everyone join in the conversation. I'm a weirdo. I love talking roads. Thank you for your help.

from My Body, My Words by Virginia Grise
"The daughter of a working-class white father from Goshen, Indiana, my mother a Chinese-Mexican immigrant, I grew up outside of rigid definitions of identity and inside an inherently complicated negotiation of culture, race, class, gender and sexuality. My immediate family was multi-ethnic and multi-lingual. Border crossing, fierce bilingualism, and the search/longing for home/place are tropes that inform the very aesthetics of my work and the collaborations I choose."

I am so excited to be starting my Halloween crafting! I can't believe that Halloween is creeping up on us. Today I have a fun little Halloween Frame for you.
One day while my hubby and I were out shopping we came across some plastic eyeballs that were on sale. My hubby told me to go ahead and get them because he knew I would do something with them.
I have saved them for a few months because I knew I wanted to do something for Halloween with them.
I had a frame on hand that is perfect for what I wanted to do.
To start this project, I painted the frame purple. I did 2 coats on it.
Next, I pulled the eyeballs out and laid them on the frame how I wanted them.
I didn't want to go to overboard with them so I put them in one corner of the frame.
Then I hot glued those to the frame.
I added on orange ribbon around the bottom and hot glued it on the back side. I also put a piece of burlap in the "picture" part of the frame.
Next, I cut out "EEK" in green paper on my circut and hot glued it to the frame. I also added a couple of spiders to go with the "EEK!!"
Here it is all finished:
I love how it turned out and am excited to put it up in the house!

Remember when I was complaining about not being in the shape I wanted to be?
So, we had a baby the next summer. :D And I'm still too fluffy for those shorts I was griping about! Now my days are spent running around after the new little fellow (a year old next month!), getting fresh air with him in our new jogging stroller, and going back and forth to help in my second grader's classroom. Once in awhile I'll pull out my blog for some meal ideas, but mostly I've been winging it.
One resource I always turn to is my copy of Squeaky Gourmet.
I love the recipes in this book because they're quick, clean, and easy. Sometimes the ingredients list doesn't make sense (where do I put in X, or what size container of Y?) but it hasn't been a deal breaker yet. This book is marked up with notes on things we've made, sticky bookmarks on things to try, and no doubt a few cooking splatters as well. When it's not open on my counter, I like to keep it in the car. It's paperback and very thin, so it's easy to slip into a seat pocket, and that way I can flip through it quickly in the grocery store or while I'm waiting in the school pickup line.
What's new with you?

Now in development by Czech studio Vatra Games, Konami said Silent Hill is going back to its roots. Expect plenty of disturbing creatures, exploration into places you normally wouldn't dare step foot in, and an evolved combat system.
"We are honoring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, and working hard to build another unforgettable horror game that the fans truly deserve," said Martin Schneider, Konami's marketing director.
Konami provides the setup:
The new game begins after a prison transport vehicle careens off the road, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill. As Pendleton takes in his new surroundings, users will encounter mind-bending puzzles and horrific creatures and otherworld terrors. Armed only with the everyday objects they can find - from wooden chairs to glass bottles - to fend off their enemies, fight or flight responses are left to the player as they unravel a dark, thought-provoking storyline which will appeal to fans of the early, classic Silent Hill series.Lending a helping hand to establish the franchise's trademark creepy tone, composer Daniel Licht, whose credits include "Children of the Corn," "Hellraiser," and Showtime's "Dexter" is writing the game's score.
Silent Hill 8 (working title) is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is set to launch sometime in 2011.
Sharkey says: I still remember playing the first Silent Hill back in the day and being totally freaked and creeped the f' out. Awesome game. The franchise has certainly lost its survival horror throne in recent years, and it will be interesting to find out if Vatra (the fourth studio to tackle Silent Hill) can put all the pieces together.

Thai cooking class in Miami Beach
Terrific Thai Cooking Class in Miami Beach – here's a shot of our red curry with beef!
Last week we returned to Miami Beach for another Thai cooking class. All hungers were satisfied as we cooked up batches of green and red curries, ginger chicken, tom yum goong, and Thai iced tea to wash it all down with.
If you're looking for a private cooking class, contact me and let me know what kind of menu you'd like to learn. Be sure to be hungry when I arrive too, as we don't take any food home!
Fried fish with fishsauce ปลาทอดนํ้าปลา
Today I made the classic dish "Pla Tod Nam Pla", ปลาทอดนํ้าปลา – it's a fried fish with fish sauce. It's very simple to make and tastes delicious. I'm so satisfied.
How easy is this recipe?
1. Heat the pan and add 2 cups of vegetable oil.
2. Put flour in the bag and season the flour with white pepper.
3. Lightly coat the fish with flour and shake off the excess flour.
4. Pan fry until golden brown, then remove to the plate.
5. Mix 1 tablespoon of fish sauce with a pinch of sugar and 1 tablespoon of leftover oil from frying the fish. Then pour it over the fried fish and serve with rice!

Income Inequality Throughout America
A Pew Research poll revealed some disappointing news for the vast majority of Americans; we're being screwed financially, and it's worse than we though. There is a wide separation in income for the rich and working class throughout America.
The 2010 Decennial Census revealed an increased gap, but the details of that inequity are discouraging.
Beginning in 2007 with the onset of a major recession, the wealthiest Americans have prospered, while the income of the middle class and lower has lessened, or at the very least leveled off. Factoring cost of living increases, the quality of life for those below the wealthiest Americans and the working class has diminished.
The income for the wealthiest Americans revealed an increase of seven percent since 2010; the income for middle class revealed a zero percent increase. Those with the highest income level comprise 21 percent of the nation's population; the middle class makes up 46 percent, and lower income 33 percent.
The Pew Research poll also revealed a 30 years statistic which is far more disheartening. In 1983 those considered middle class had a median income of $94,300; today it is only $96,500. Lower income families had a median income of $11,400 in 1983; last year it dropped to $9,300. In 2007 middle income peaked at $158,400; lower income levels were at $19,100.
The prognosis for the future is not promising. Pew attributes the reasons for a widening gap in income levels to stock owner ship and government bailouts of major financial institutions and major corporations.
Because the wealthy are invested more heavily in stocks, they recovered quickly from the recession as stocks began to rise. Middle and lower income levels had no such security blanket.
The stocks quickly rose because of the trillions of dollars in bailout money preventing stocks to plunge.
As the gap widens, and there is little doubt that it will, financial inequality will create dissent among the voting public. Republicans claim that this separation is a positive situation; that it creates jobs because the security of companies allows them to expand. This premise has proven to be false. As the country began to heal from the recession, major companies hired less full-time workers, paid lower wages, and provided little or no benefits such as health insurance or retirement.
As predicted by many economists worldwide, capitalism is a failed economic system. It eventually causes class separation, and causes poverty to grow. Workers slowly become 'slave labor' without recourse. A 'free market' economy offers no incentive, no benefits for the working class.
Studies have proven that wealth grows in a capitalistic society, but it does not promote economic security for the middle to low income employees.
Free trade agreements such as NAFTA and the proposed TTIP between the United States and the European Union, will create a widening gap in income in the largest economic nations of the world. Citizens of these European nations remain more informed than the average American. Protests are a common event, seen throughout Europe; the largest are occurring in Italy at present.
Our economic structure will disallow a narrowing of income disparity. It's like a line in an old song; "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Only you vote can bring change. Independent and intelligent action at the polls can move all income levels back towards the center.

Studying abroad was the best experience of my life, but transferring my credits was a major hassle, to put it mildly. I will not go into intricate detail, but I have been put through the ringer trying to sort out issues with my transcript, for FIVE years. Massive amounts of paperwork that took months to put together - was lost by the administration three times. Lost. Many errors were made that constantly set me back, it was near impossible to get anyone on the phone, and I rarely received an answer to my pleading e-mails. Pair this with the fact that we were constantly moving due to Greg's career, and you can quickly see why this took half a decade to be accomplished.
A very, very long and complicated story later, I finally "graduated" yesterday, May 30th, 2017. My diploma is dated 2011, the year in which it has always belonged to me.
I need to thank my family - without them, I am quite simply nothing. They've watched me go through this process, they've seen the tears, experienced the pain, and fought right alongside me. My mother accompanied me to Hunter several times, and witnessed firsthand the level at which this situation was being mishandled. My sister, Erin, literally rocked the entire college with an e-mail better than an Oscar acceptance speech, and within 24 hours provided me with the CELL PHONE number to reach the Vice President for Student Affairs, so that she may offer me a direct apology. I'm happy that our sibling-arguments prepared us both for this battle, and I'm lucky to call her my sister.
Finally, to my biggest motivation, my daughter. I hope that Dad and I are living proof that you should always shoot for the stars and never let anyone tell you what you're capable of. There are many things you will probably curse us for, like your ever-growing eyebrows or bad dance moves, but I hope you will always honor the fierceness inside of you, and that you use it to create good in your life and share it with those who need it.
Now, it's time for the bottle of champagne that's been chilling in my refrigerator for 1,825 days.

A Little Respect Please
I won't be able to make the meeting in Dunbar at the end of the month to discuss the fate of the recently discovered bodies of the 29 Scottish soldiers who were among approximately 1,600 who died in captivity at Durham Cathedral after the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. But this is my tuppence-worth. The bodies should be respectfully buried at Durham. The only other alternative would be at Dunbar itself and I think soldiers should be buried where they fell. I don't hold with repatriating the bodies. Like most Brits, I have relatives, ancestors even, buried in foreign soils across the world - from France to Hong Kong. I think that's more fitting than the local cemetery in Scotland with those who died from "natural" causes or accident. Of course, in none of the countries I have relatives buried in are their graves or, in two cases because their bodies were never identified the memorials bearing their names, likely to be vandalised or desecrated. I couldn't help feeling the Taliban were just being spiteful when they smashed the gravestones of 19th Century British soldiers, and civilians, buried in Kabul to pieces with sledgehammers a couple of years ago. And the Libyans thanked us for our air support during the overthrow of Col. Gaddafi by vandalising Commonwealth War Graves cemeteries. Much the same thing happened at Basra in Iraq. Closer to home, war graves and memorials in Northern Ireland have also been vandalised But somehow I don't think the people of Durham will show the same hatred of the Scots dead. There used to be a time when decent fighting men showed respect for their fallen enemies once the battle was over. Venting hatred on dead bodies is more the sort of thing sad-sack cowards do. By the way, I'm referring only to deliberate desecration, not the metal thievery from war memorials by the chronically stupid that is becoming more common in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Are these guys the great-grandchildren of deserters? Maybe that's a blog for another day. Oops, turns out I wrong and I should I remembered this, Commonwealth war graves have been vandalised in France. And someone had a go at some Australian war graves in England earlier this year. There would appear to be more scumbags out there than I realised when I first started writing this.

Judge To Listen To Newtown 911 Recordings
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge says he will listen to the 911 recordings from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting before ruling on whether they can be publicly released.
New Britain Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott says he plans to listen to the tapes Monday and issue his decision soon. He says it will not be announced the same day.
Prescott ruled that the recordings should continue to remain sealed while he reviews them.
The state's Freedom of Information Commission ruled in September that the recordings should be provided to The Associated Press, but a prosecutor asked for a stay while he appeals that order.
The AP has sought the recordings in part to examine the police response to the massacre, which left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.
