Expert Bra Testing By Micky Bells
One of the breast-man's great pleasures in life is to watch a chesty girl put on and take off her bra. The magnificent Micky Bells does this hooter harnessing with sexy style in this scene. Micky shakes and jiggles her bra-supported tits, testing each one and announcing her verdict. One maternity bra for breast-feeding looks too small but Micky says it's alright, unhooking one cup and pulling it down. She sucks and pulls on her nipples, which instantly engorge. Before trying on more bras of different styles, Micky shows her special talent in self-sucking, tugging and nipple tweaking. Micky holds each pliable breast in her mouth hands-free, her powerful suction holding them in place. All that nipple stimulation gets Micky rubbing and fingering her pussy so she can cum loudly. "During my pregnancy and now, I sleep with a bra on," Micky said. "It's easier to move around. I don't know how much they weigh now. But they are heavy. I buy my bras online at Bravissimo, Brastop or an online store in the Czech Republic. I never tried getting fitted but that would be nice."

Micky & The Big Bouncy Ball
It's gym time and lovely Micky Bells has some big, heavy bells to swing and shake when she uses some of her workout session to bounce on a fitness ball. This is the real reason these training balls were invented. We will not be fooled. Obviously, a tit-man originally designed them. SCORELAND: Micky, do you like sports? Micky: I don't play sports. I like to take walks. SCORELAND: What about special abilities? Micky: Nothing I can think of. Maybe that I can suck my boobs without hands. SCORELAND: What makes you laugh? Micky: Cats. And my kid. SCORELAND: Do you watch any favorite television shows? Micky: Not just one. I have a list. SCORELAND: Do you have any girlfriends with breasts like yours? We wish you did. Micky: I have. But not as big as mine. SCORELAND: If that ever changes, let us know.

Swimsuit Day For Magnificent Micky Bells
Micky Bells takes us along for a spa day so she can try on some swimsuits and go for a dip. The entire pool area is all hers and she can do as she pleases. That includes playing with her soft, huge boobs. Micky has a hard time keeping her fingers off her pussy. That's fine with us. One good rub deserves another. Micky made the people who pestered her about her boob size when she was young eat their words. "I started off with no boobs," Micky said. "I looked like a little boy. Then suddenly in one year, I was an E-cup. It was a very fast change. It was very hard to get used to having big boobs all of a sudden and being so young. It was hard because at that time, boys that were my age were very childish. They would tease me about having such big boobs." Micky is special. She slimmed down to an amazing degree and became a SCORE covergirl. Then she boomeranged and got even bustier from pregnancy. After childbirth, she shifted back to Voluptuous. "I got back my previous bra size 36J but the boobs have a different shape," Micky told us. She's one of the very few girls to make the covers of SCORE, Voluptuous and XL Girls magazines.

Bounce, Maserati, Bounce!
This dude is about to find out how he fares tackling the incredible assets of Maserati, but first, the bra-busting super-woman treats him to a follow-the-bouncing-boobs show before she slides down his pole in a steaming-hot XXX fuck and suck scene. It would have been wise on this guy's part to take out insurance in case he got injured by those skull-crushers. Maserati said one tit is around ten pounds and the other eight pounds. That amount of weight would have increased his insurance premium, for sure. He did survive his encounter with this Amazon without having to be carried out of the building in a stretcher. It's a great survival story he can always tell his friends over beer.

Double Strokers
Desiree and Maserati met for the first time at SCORE, a meeting of two sexy titters with great jugs and shapely bods. Desiree, the redhead, and Maserati picked out the perfect dresses to show off their curvatures and deep cleavage. "I like your titties," Maserati said, admiring Desiree's lush figure. "I like your titties," Desiree counters, reaching out to touch Maserati. Yes, these two became bosom buds in the short time they were together. Desiree gave Maserati's bazooms a friendly shake. They couldn't keep their hands off each other. That's why we wheeled in the human dildo. So they could grab something else to jack and tit-wank. The girls lowered each other's dresses so they could suck nipples and feel the soft, smooth skin of their lady-bumps. They mashed-up and jiggled those flesh pillows against each other. You can see their nipples hardening and stiffening in the close-ups. They eventually got down to total bare-ass naked, still playing with each other's nipples before they jacked, tit-fucked and sucked the boner until it spurted.

The Not-So-Secret Life Of A SCORE Wife
Beautiful wife of a SCORE reader, Kelly Christiansen had fantasized about being a SCORE model, showing the world her big tits, lush bod and curvy ass, and fulfilling her midnight fantasies on-camera. The dude in this video is just a male prop, a meat puppet for Kelly's use. Her husband was okay with her fucking total strangers on-camera. Most guys would not be. The blonde bombshell is very much the neighbor-next-door. "I'm an outdoorsy-type. My friends always say I'm very down-to-Earth and more like the girl next door. I don't know if they would expect this from me. "Still, I enjoy showing off my curves so I normally wear sexy or revealing clothing out. I like having sex almost daily but I'm always working to improve the score. I like initiating sex when my husband least expects it. Stamina is what impresses me the most in a man."

Maserati Goes For A Juggy Joy Ride
When Maserati gets to her boff buddy's place, she's anxious to change into a new, erotic piece of lingerie she's just bought. It's a slinky and sheer monokini that's designed for no-fumble rearranging and for fast-access tit-sex and fucking. No need to open Maserati's hood while she's wearing this outfit. You can see her twin turbos right through the sheet fabric. After she changes out of her street clothes that are very sexy too, he dives for her gorgeous tits and pussy, just like we all would. She opens her legs for a fingering and a licking, then takes his crankshaft between those high-beaming 34H headlights, licking and sucking the tip when it slides past her hood ornaments to her waiting, man-pleasing mouth. This beauty really loves hard wood and she loves to be seen and appreciated by the Boob Brotherhood while she's lovin' that wood. Looks like this juggy joy ride is going to be as smooth as a Sunday drive in the country with a stop for a lube job and a change of oil. Maserati's ride rules.

Beverly Paige
21:11 Mins.
Ginomous Gazongas
Beverly Paige appears at the top of a staircase wearing an outrageously tight, short dress and high heels. She immediately begins her shake show. We call this bobble boob time. Her huge, all-natural breasts bob and bounce hands-free as she descends the stairs. Is breast-power the alternate power source of the future? We believe in this possibility. Flexible and limber, Beverly doffs her heels and drops to the floor in a full-split. This kind of talent will prove useful when her date arrives. Surprisingly, Beverly said that she's met guys who are not into busty girls. "It is very surprising because I have been with guys who pay no attention to my boobs! I love getting my nipples played with and licked. I love it! I feel like, 'Hello! I have these! Play with these!' Guys just ignored them!" What's wrong with these men? Fortunately, no such hang-ups with Beverly's video match. What follows is lots of sucking and motor-boating leading to a hot suck job, tit-fucking, pussy-pounding and a hefty cream rinse for Beverly's beautiful face. Some scientists claim that sperm is excellent for a woman's skin. We agree with this evaluation. "I will ask the guy where he wants to cum," Beverly says. "On my tits, on my back, on my face. If he wants to cum in my mouth, if it tastes good, okay, I am cool with that."

Samsung unveils new Galaxy Tab S: 10 features of Samsung's new flagship tablet (with video)
Samsung took to Madison Square Garden today to launch its latest salvo in the tablet wars, unveiling a new flagship tablet the Galaxy Tab S with the same super sharp screen technology of its Galaxy S5 smartphone in a form factor that's even skinnier and lighter weight than Apple's top iPad line.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S comes in two sizes, the larger at 10.5 inches with the smaller one at 8.4 inches and both boasting Samsung's Super AMOLED screen that delivers sharp resolution and rich colours.
The event is a key one for Samsung, which surpassed its goal of selling 40 million tablets and this year, despite a drop in tablet sales overall, has increased its share of the tablet market to 11 per cent. Even though company has a full lineup of tablets in varying sizes and features, it wanted to add a flagship tablet, to match its flagship smartphone the Galaxy S, which is now selling in its most recent version, the Galaxy S5.
The new tablets will be rolled out in Canada starting June 27 with the WiFi versions first followed by LTE near the end of Q3. The 10.5-inch WiFi version will be $519 in Canada, the 8.4-inch will be $419. In the US, they'll be US$499 and $399.
I had a chance to check out Samsung's new Galaxy Tab S and here are some of its features, including some updates that set it aside from Samsung's earlier tablets and from the competition. Here's a video with my first view:
1. Super AMOLED Display
AMOLED stands for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, a screen technology that is taking on LCD – now Super LCD – in the competition to provide the most brilliant viewing surface on the market. In a side-by-side comparison with Samsung's earlier tablet, the colour are richer, the blacks darker and it's a better display for reading outdoors. The screen resolution is 2560 x 1600.
2. The Inside Story
Under the hood, the new tablets run on the Android KitKat 4.4 operating system, have 16GB storage that's expandable up to 128 via the tablet's microSD slot and they have 3GB RAM. The rear camera is eight megapixels, the front-facing camera 2.1 megapixels.
3. Adaptive Display
The Galaxy Tab S screen has some preset modes, including cinema, photo and basic and others and it adapts to lighting conditions. In this demo, Samsung showed its new tablet under varying lighting conditions to demonstrate how the screen adapted to make it easier on your eyes. When you're reading, the tablet will adapt the screen to the environment, weather it's your living room, the bus or outdoors, to make it easier on your eyes.
4. Form Factor
It's all about form factor – how light is light enough and in the tablet market, you can never be too skinny. Samsung has taken that to heart, delivering its new 10.5-inch new tablet at 453 grams, just a tad under the iPad Air, which weighs in at 469 or 478 grams depending on whether its WiFi only or WiFi plus cellular. The 8.4-inch tablet is 283 grams. To check its thickness, stack up five credit cards and you'll have it – 6.6 mm – thinner than many smartphones.
5. Connectivity
Just as Apple likes to keep its users in its walled garden,with every device syncing seamlessly to others in its lineup, Samsung's ideal world is one in which Galaxy S5 users buy the new Galaxy Tab S. And to make connectivity seamless, it has SideSync 3.0, a connection that lets you make or take phone calls on your tablet by virtually transferring your phone to the tablet screen, you can transfer photos from your phone to your tablet or vice versa simply by swiping to drop them on the other device, or flip between the two devices in other applications. The tablets come in both WiFi and WiFi and LTE versions.
6. Multi-user Device
This is a handy feature for families or others who share a single tablet. Samsung allows up to eight users to have their own login, accessible with a fingerprint scan. Once you swipe your finger to scan in, the tablet will display only your personalized apps and accounts – from email, to social networking and others. The Galaxy Tab S is the first Samsung tablet to have fingerprint recognition security.
7. Pay by (finger) print convenience
Samsung has teamed up with PayPal to use its fingerprint security ID feature for online payments.
8. Kids are welcome
The Galaxy Tab S has a built-in kid's mode, with special apps for kids, including its camera app that lets kids add goofy faces and other fun features. It also has a feature that lets you limit screen time, an issue that is subject to increasing debate among parents.
9. Keyboard
You can get an after-market keyboard for pretty much any tablet but Samsung is making it easy with a custom keyboard that clicks onto the 10.5-inch tablet and doubles as a case. No such coordinating keyboard for the smaller version tab. It has a solid clasp so little chance of it flipping open when you're carrying it around.
10. Cover-up
Samsung is offering up two cases with its new Galaxy Tab S, one that's a screen protector and the other, a full case, its smart book cover that has three different viewing angles and comes in a variety of colours. The simple cover clips on with two buttons that hold it onto the tablet. In the demonstration, the simple cover was a bit finicky to clip on.
The new tablet also has Samsung's Milk music, Internet radio powered by Slacker but only available in the United States, not in Canada.
Gillian Shaw's airfare and accommodation to attend the Samsung Galaxy Tab 5 event was paid by Samsung. Samsung was not given the opportunity to put restrictions on the content or review it prior to publication.

Welcome to the 2 wheel muse, the website that celebrates the stories, emotions, and experiences of all things two-wheeled. There are two main inspirations behind the creation of this site. First, it is the realization that the motorcycle has played an important role in shaping my own life, that the years of riding have provided me with a deep well of emotions and experiences. Second, in seeking to publish and share some of the stories that I was writing, I found there was no viable outlet; some motorcycle publications even have the guideline that they will accept no story with the word "I" in it.
In the 'Contents' tab, you will have the opportunity to choose from several links. It is a pleasure to include the stories, pictures, and experiences of other riders who have chronicled their own two-wheeled adventures. These stories can be found in 'Contents' by using the 'Stories' tab.
Photo galleries and other sundry comments can be found in 'Galleries'.
The 'Friends' tab is a gateway to other links.
So enjoy the site and browse around. I hope you find something that
strikes a chord, something that inspires the muse in you. And when your
muse inspires, write it up and submit it here, for all of us to share and
enjoy. So if you are the literary type, or manage your club's
newsletter, send us a story, and perhaps some images, to post on the site. The 2
Wheel Muse is a great place to publish a motorcycle piece. You can provide
the link to your friends so they can
access and enjoy your story online.
So, contribute something of your own to the 'Muse'. The motorcycle world is waiting to see it.

Martin Chitwood: 6 illegal nursing interview questions
Martin Chitwood:
Wondering which questions you'll be asked during your nursing interview? You should expect the usual ones, such as "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and "What's your greatest weakness?"
But then there are more colorful questions, such as "What animal best describes you?" and "If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you want to have with you?" that you should brace yourself for.
Regardless of what questions get thrown your way, there are a handful of interview questions you should never be asked as a nurse. Be aware — questions about subjects in these categories violate your rights:
National origin
Marital/family status
However, don't assume an employer's prying questions are suggestive of discriminatory intentions. Often, a hiring manager is just trying to assess your fit for the job, not trying to illegally discriminate. After all, as a nurse, you'll often deal with patients from all sorts of backgrounds and beliefs. While you can't be asked directly about any of these topics, don't be surprised if you find yourself discussing your family or religion, either. It all depends on how the question is phrased.
While it's important to protect yourself from illegal nursing interview questions, there are legal alternatives to get the same information out of you. Be prepared and know your options by checking out these six examples of illegal interview questions and how they can be rephrased to pass the law.

It saddens me that age is a big issue here in the Philippines,i hope they will look into what is more essential -the knowledge that a nurse possess and her disposition is more important than how long she has lived.
if im disabled but can work with restrictions dont the employer have to try to make accomadations or can they just not hire me at all

Interview with Boon Manakitivipart (Part 3-Styling 1)
Post by:
June 15, 2009, 03:29 PM
: Aside from preserving the tree's health, what in your opinion is the single most important aim in styling a bonsai, and why?
: The most Important aim in styling a bonsai is a creation of natural feeling.
Balance is the beginning and the end. The natural outline of trees in general is asymmetrical triangle. Or it could be round, such as a broom style. Width of the outline should be based on the trunk taper. A tree with a large base with fast taper, outline can be wider. A tree with a skinny and tall trunk, outline should be narrow. These basics help to start the styling process. The longest branch (key branch or sashi-eda) can be on either side of the tree.
Proportion makes a small tree look big. A good bonsai should have the same proportion regardless of the actual size of the tree. If you take a picture of two different sizes of tree and compare them, you should not be able to tell how tall or how large they are.
The foliage should be in scale with the size of that bonsai. A larger tree should have a larger leaves or needles. For a small tree, the leaves or needles should be smaller. There is an exception to the rule. A deciduous tree that is shown without leaves in winter, the leave size is not important.
Trunk is the soul of the tree. It is the most important thing in bonsai. All trees are not created equal. Different species of trees has a specific look. Maple should not have Jin and shari on the trunk. Open wounds can be infected with disease. Dead wood rots easily on maple. A good pine has rough bark and good taper. Collected junipers should have curves and twists. Natural dead wood make collected bonsai more valuable. A heavily carved trunk may devalue the tree.
Each tree is unique. Individuality is in the trunk. You have to bring out that beauty. Understand the focal point and then make the focus on that part of the tree.

On our unique culinary trips, we'll make sure to show you the hottest restaurants and culinary trends, give you the local's perspective of the best Israeli foods, and take you to the biggest and best markets but also the "off the beaten path" ones as well.
You'll still get to visit all of the top sites that you would see on any other Birthright Israel trip, but in addition, prepare your taste buds for these special activities:

By Timothy Gardner and Matthew Robinson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Global oil inventories grew over the last two months despite the loss of further supplies from Iran, according to a U.S. report that gave leeway for the Obama administration to press ahead with sanctions on the OPEC nation.
The Energy Information Administration report, required every 60 days by the Iran sanctions law President Barack Obama signed in December, gave a mostly positive assessment of global oil supplies, which typically build at this time of year.
World oil and motor fuel supplies exceeded demand by 500,000 barrels per day in March and April, the EIA said, allowing consumer countries to build cushions against any potential losses from U.S. and EU measures against Tehran.
Inventories were helped by strong production from Saudi Arabia, which pumped 9.8 million barrels per day, about 900,000 bpd more than it did in March and April a year ago, it said.
"The report provides that comfort level that (the administration) can continue toward implementation of the sanctions without fear that the market is poised to go crazy for them," said David Pumphrey, fellow at Center for Strategic and International Studies and former Energy Department official.
The sanctions aim to choke funding to Tehran's nuclear program by slowing transactions between oil-consuming countries and the Central Bank of Iran. The West contends Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, while Tehran says the program is strictly for civilian purposes.
The supply picture was not entirely sunny.
The report said Iranian oil output has already been hit by sanctions, and that several non-OPEC crude disruptions worsened in March and April. The disruptions add to worries the global oil market could tighten as - outside of Saudi Arabia - it lacks significant production capacity. They also support the possibility the administration could tap emergency oil stock piles to cool down high fuel prices.
Republicans have slammed Obama over high gasoline prices that have hurt consumers as they struggle with a fragile economic recovery ahead of the November 6 election.
The U.S. sanctions and a pending EU embargo on Iranian oil have already trimmed the OPEC member's oil output by 400,000 barrels per day compared with a year ago, the report said.
"EIA believes that Iran's total liquids production capability has been declining due to its inability to carry out investment projects," necessary to offset natural oil well decline rates, it said.
In addition, Canadian oil supply problems and ongoing disruptions from Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen compounded worries that petroleum markets could tighten ahead of the June 28 deadline, when Obama is allowed to sanction foreign banks over oil-related transactions with the Central Bank of Iran.
But the White House is unlikely to slow the process ahead of talks in Iraq late next month between Iran and six major powers to settle the nuclear dispute, backers of the sanctions said.
"The last thing the administration would do ahead of Baghdad talks would be to show any sign that they are not full steam ahead on oil market sanctions," said Mark Dubowitz, the head of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a lobbying group for tough Iran sanctions.
The administration has said it is considering all options to combat high gasoline prices, including a release of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
"Nothing in today's report undercuts the administration's stated motivations for drawing reserves," said Kevin Book, an analyst at ClearView Energy Partners in Washington.

Putting the PIeces Together: Building Claims for Othello Literary Analysis Paper (Day 2 of 3)
Lesson 9 of 11
Objective: SWBAT identify a purpose for writing and write arguments to support claims by analyzing prompts and creating thesis statements for their Othello literary analysis papers.
We'll start class with ten minutes of reading time.
So, my teaching partner and I win the award for bad planning/timing. Because I took a little longer on Othello, we are completing A Tale of Two Writing Assignments for both of our contents on the same day.
To combat panic and fear, we are going to use this to our advantage (we hope) and combine our efforts to teach the students three things:
- Identifying genre and knowing how to meet the requirements of that genre
- Creating a thesis that addresses the prompt provided
- Developing a plan of attack for proof and support
His writing assignment is a document based question about the spread and impact of religion. My writing assignment is a literary analysis of Othello.
Step one will be a quick review of DBQ and Lit Analysis Pointers Genre to go over the different genres of writing they will encounter in our classes and how to determine what kind of writing they will be asked to do (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.4). This is actually a great overview of writing modes and, strangely enough, is something they are tested on for our state exam. So, count this mini-lesson as killing two birds with one stone!
We will define each genre and then ask students to identify what kind of genre each prompt is asking them to write. Then we will look specifically at the two prompts and ask them share ideas about what makes these two assignments similar or different.
Resources (2)
Creating a Thesis
Our second step will be to review the elements of a strong thesis and then work on creating thesis statements for both papers.
We will review their tasks and how to create an argument (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.1) for their literary analysis paper and a guiding statement for their expository DBQ: DBQ and Lit Analysis Pointers Thesis (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2).
We will ask the students to draft thesis statements in their notes, then write their Thesis Statements on the boards around the room. While they take their passing period/break, my teaching partner and I will write on their thesis statements: Thesis Statement Creation
Resources (3)
Building Support Work Time
For the remaining chunk of class time, we will give them time to brainstorm information for their DBQ. A history DBQ requires students to synthesize historical documents (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.9-10.2 and CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.9-10.9) with their own background knowledge of a topic or historical period.
As this is their first DBQ, my teaching partner wanted to keep all parts of the writing process in class, which means students will be on their own for finding support for their Othello papers. Good thing we've been doing some very specific reading and reading support work around that for the past few weeks =).
Tomorrow they will be analyzing their documents, so we want to make sure that they have time to work together to brainstorm and gather background information. We will give them a DBQ planning sheet to fill in for this part of their work time as they work to develop their their writing through this planning and support finding time (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.5).

Wrap up and Next Steps
At the end of the period, we will invite students to take pictures or notes of their thesis statements so they have a place to begin revising.
We will also ask them to continue their support development at home. I will specifically as them to come prepared with quotes related to their thesis statement for tomorrow's activities (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.9).

How To Pick The Right Website To Buy Your Bridesmaid Dress
September 30, 2013 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Looking to buy your bridesmaid dress? Then why not consider shopping for dress over the internet? It will eliminate all the usual shopping hassles you might have experienced in the past, and you will also get to see a lot of dress options with a single click of a button. If you're interested in buying your bridesmaid dress online then check out the tips below.
image via we heart it
1. Use sites such as Shopstyle, Green Guide or simply google the type of dress you want. This will allow you to narrow your search by color, price, style and while you're at it discover new styles and great choices of bridesmaid dresses that you've probably never seen.
2. Timing. Make sure you give yourself a good head start. Before you even start looking for your sign for the stores mailing list, follow them on social media site such as instagram, facebook and twitter that way you'll be notified of flash sales, clearance and discounts.
3. Keep an Open Mind. While shopping for your bridesmaid dress you'll notice that you'll come across dresses labeled homecoming dresses. These can be more affordable and perfectly suitable for a wedding.
4. Check on the services and the other perks they offer. For instance, the website green guide not only provides a nice collection of dresses but they also have the "maid-to-measure" and "tailor-made" service which ensures every customer that all the dresses are made according to exact specifications given by each customer. And aside from that, make sure that they will deliver the dress on time and that they are willing to accept the usual mode of payments (cash transfer, credit card, debit card, etc.).
5. Return policy. This is the most important one when you're buying online. There's maybe a time limit but sometimes returns are even free.

Revlon's Color Closet: Nail Art
September 30, 2013 by admin
Filed under Accessories
If you know me you know that I'm a bit challenged when it comes to my nails. I keep them neat, pretty and simple but that's about it. While I appreciate creative nail art I unfortunately don't have the skills for it. Last week I was sent an amazing selection of polishes from Revlon to test out and I immediately got inspired to give it a shot. I knew right off the bat that I wanted a look that would be both easy to wear for night and day (I'm a mom so even mani's have to be practical) but still be a little glam. My nails are always kept at mid length so I didn't want to go crazy with patterns and decided instead to do a French mani with a twist. The first colors that immediately came to mind was the Iconic Gray, Urban (it looks more like a deep purple and it's the perfect pop of color for fall) and sparkly Hearts of Gold.
Below are the steps to recreate my super easy look and some stylish outfits inspired by Revlon Iconic nail enamel.
Revlon believes there is more than one way for women to be seen. Revlon's heritage as a color authority and its suite of innovative products inspires women around the world to express themselves through beauty each and every day.

Celebrity Copycat: Sarah Jessica Parker's Look for Less!
September 29, 2013 by admin
Filed under Celebrity Copycat
Now this is my kind of outfit! It's casual and comfy but Sarah Jessica Parker makes it chic and sleek with black booties and a fancy necklace. SJP's always manages to make anything look glamorous without a hint of effort. I swear it looks like she rolled out of bed and threw on the first thing she found…love it! Easy outfit to wear from day to night by swapping out the shoes.

A Nod To The 90's
One of my favorite fashionable decades was the 90's. It was purposely dishevled, a little punk and a whole lotta fun! I spent the better half of it in my Dr. Martens, some sort of plaid and lots of vintage tees. It was my personal mission to mix vintage and grunge and sometimes it worked, sometimes not so much. This fall you'll see small nods to the grungy era with tons of causal pieces only more sleek and chic. Below are some inspirational looks that all nod towards the 90's only more modern and easy to wear just about every day.
1) Ankle Boots – the new go-to-at-any-time item of footwear. Stylish and simple, these boots go with any kind of outfit and any sort of trend. Wear your black Chelsea boots with skinny jeans during the day and with a sexy mini skirt with mesh tights for night. Guaranteed to work really well with any of the pieces below.
2) Plaid – plaid prints, generally on tops but extending to pants, bags and accessories. Wearing a plaid print help create a preppy look which can be contrasted magnificently with the modern Chelsea boots.

3) Crop Tops. A trend that I proudly wore during most of my high school years was hot this past summer and will remain strong for fall. Wear cropped sweaters over a tank or let a button down peak out underneath for chillier days.
4) Nirvana Grunge – It doesn't seem that long since Kurt Cobain sadly left us. Adopt this fashion and prepare to smell like teen spirit. Remember that Chelsea boots contrast nicely with layers of grunge.
5) Tomboy – a particular favorite of mine. Oversized coats, boyfriend jeans or a slouchy tunics – pieces that are a must have for everyday wear.
Fantasy Brands at Real-Person Prices
The hefty price tags touted by the couture creations and exquisite ensembles of high-end designers make them
fiscal fantasies for even the most style-obsessed fashionista. There was a time when just one insanely covetable item from Marchesa or Philip Lim would mean forgoing food and rent for the foreseeable future. Then, like an answer to a posh prayer, came the brilliant idea known as the "diffusion line." Most commonly this is when a top-tier designer pairs with a middle-market retailer to create an affordable, yet still visionary, capsule collection – thereby saving you from the fate of becoming a hopelessly chic homeless person. These fab collabs have been gaining popularity over the last few years, resulting in a treasure trove of quality garments for the discerning dresser on a budget. Read on to discover the cream of the current crop of these trendsetting teams, just be prepared to shop til you drop – with enough capital leftover to accessorize.

- White by Vera Wang at David's Bridal. Nothing says "I'm going to live the rest of my life in happily wedded bliss" like floating down the aisle in a creation crafted by the queen of nuptials herself. The amazing news is that now you can make that fantasy a reality by choosing one of the divine frocks from Ms. Wang's diffusion line. This season's collection was inspired by the, sigh, glamour of Old Hollywood. Modestly priced between $728 and $1,348, it is impossible to not fall head over heels for one of these enchanting, elegant, affairs. Plus, she designs for the wedding party as well. Need we say more?

2. 3.1 Philip Lim for Target. The buzz about this cult designer's collection for Target has grown into a collective roar with its recent release – and it's well deserved. The bags alone are worth the hype. Full of sophisticated floral prints, skinny trousers and sparkly, fête-ready frocks, the line has caused a veritable stampede at some Target locations. With sleek looks to take you from a.m. to after-party, this is one dream team-up not to miss.

3. RACHEL by Rachel Roy for Macy's. This elegant designer brings the class-with-an-edge attitude that makes her namesake line so covetable to her diffusion line. Her most recent creations include military-inspired pea coats, printed suits and feminine animal print dresses paired with motorcycle jackets. It's a one-stop shop for wardrobe basics and of-the-moment trend pieces.
Image taken from Glamour
- Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's. Malandrino is the most recent elite designer to create a limited-edition collection for Kohl's DesigNation, and her accessible-yet-chic looks are the best yet. The romantic, Paris-inspired line is full of graphic, black and white pairings and intricately beaded shift-dresses. Be sure to stock up on the perfectly styled lace-print tops and frocks – ideal for date night or a swanky holiday soiree.

- Truly by Zac Posen for David's Bridal. Although the line isn't set to debut until 2014, it will be worth the wait – if Posen's gowns are anything like his red carpet creations, they will be magical. The illustrious designer's foray into affordable wedding-wear is bound to be both a commercial and critical success. Boldly sophisticated, sexy and distinctively glamorous, Posen's design aesthetic lends itself perfectly to bridal gowns. The creations promise to be couture quality at a price that won't break your budget.

Must Have Pieces For Layering
What would fall be without layering? To help get the most out of fashions most creative and coziest season, you need to have the right pieces. That means items that can easily mix and match or be easily worn from day to night. To help kick off autumn I've picked some key must-have pieces for layering and how to wear them.
A little fur on a vest will instantly make any outfit a little glam, cozy and chic. Pair with jeans and a striped top for a easy casual look or a little black dress and tights for a quirky sexy look.
A classic striped top with a touch of leather is a no brainer! Layer it under cardigans, button downs and finish off the look with a scarf.
Add some denim to any outfit for a effortless feel. Wear it under the vest with fur and the striped top for layering perfection!
A long cardigan will make layering dressier pieces a cinch! Try it with a pencil skirt or even a maxi dress.
Necklaces and scarfs make any layering look instantly more stylish. Try a long necklace and scarf for a flowy affect.
A little black dress is the perfect canvas for all your layering needs. Pick one that fits like a glove, add some tights or leggings and start adding layers. You can start by adding a very thin turtle neck or button down underneath.

Revlon's Color Closet: Fall's Crimson Seduction
September 23, 2013 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Fall is all about chilly temps, layering and boots! And while it's known for warm rich colors, there's no better time to accentuate your look with bright colors…how about starting with your nails! The color red has always been a symbol of power and confidence. It's a sultry classic color that never goes out of style. But with tons of different shades as options it can be tricky to pick the right shade. I was sent Revlon's nail color Seduce and it's gorgeous! It's a true red that's easy to mix and match with other colors if you desire but I would let it stand out on its own. The bold alluring color is sexy, fun and exactly what any fall color palette will need.
I like the idea of wearing it for day or night with matching toes of course. For day a red polish will pop against basic pieces like a blazer layered with your favorite fall sweater. Think mustards and blue with a tweed blazer and amazing red mani…it's a instant mood booster while adding that pop of color for fall!
For night it's a no brainer! When I want to add a little more sass to my look red always does the trick when wearing my favorite combo: a little black dress, a leather jacket and high heeled booties. This fall let loose, have fun and get yourself a red mani!

Probability of an outcome Exactly n Times
Multiple Trial Probability
To formula to calculate the probability that an event will occur exactly n times over multiple trials is intricately tied to the formula for combinations. This may be a surprise at first, but upon examination there is an clear connection between combinations and multiple trial probabilities.
Part I. How we get the formula for multiple trial Probability
What about three independent events? What is the probability that we will get heads exactly three times if we toss the coin three times?
If we spin the red arrow four times. What is the probability that we will spin an odd number on the fist spin and even numbers on all of the other spins ?
Imagine that we are using the same spinner depicted up above. Calculate the probability of obtaining exactly 1 odd number on 4 spins of the arrow.
Formula for Probability of Independent Events
Formula = The general formula is to determine how many combinations of the independent events can occur, then multiply the probability of each by the result of the combination. It's much easier to understand by looking at some more examples.
What is the probability of obtaining two odd numbers on four spins?
What is the probability of obtaining three odd numbers on four spins?
A fair coin is tossed 10 times, what is the probability that it falls on heads exactly 6 times?
If 5 dice are tossed, what is the probability that they show exactly 3 fives?

Our client was shopping at a big box retailer with her daughter at the time of this accident. As she walked down an aisle she slipped and fell onto the floor. Once she had collected herself, she noticed that the floor she was standing on was covered in standing water. A wet floor warning sign had been set up at the end of the aisle, approximately 40 feet from where she fell. Apparently, the store had been aware of the spill and had done some clean up but not enough to keep its customers safe.
Our client injured her hip as a direct result of this fall. Although the claims adjuster made her a settlement offer, that offer only covered her medical bills. Our client felt that she was entitled to pain and suffering compensation as well and she hired our experienced Portland slip and fall injury law firm to help her increase the settlement being offered to her.
After evaluating our client's claim, we discussed it with her and sent a demand package to the retail store. Several rounds of negotiation later, the case settled for a fair amount including all of our client's accident-related medical expenses as well as compensation for her pain and suffering. We were able to get our client three times the pain and suffering amount that she had been offered prior to hiring the seasoned Oregon premises liability attorneys at Dwyer Williams Potter LLP.

It is an original d&d module and is an absolute classic. It is one of the best from the old judges guild (aside from Dark Tower or the city state). It will take quite a bit of work to update to 3rd edition, but if you like old school d&d, this one is a must.

Naturally dyed fabrics change over time as they wear, fade and break in. It's part of what makes the garments in our Clean Color Collection unique.
Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
Clean Color Collection
We've taken the byproducts of food waste, dried beetles and the poop of silkworms (among other things) to create a line of clothing dyed with natural ingredients and sourced from 96% renewable resources.

In a move that has left many an analyst scratching their head, Apple, Inc. has confirmed that they've agreed to buy a fabless semiconductor chip company for $278 million. PA Semi, makers of an ultra high-end chip that consumes 5-13 watts with impressive specs, will be purchased by Apple for purposes unknown. And to add more confusion into the buy, PA Semi makes PowerPC chips, the kind Apple just ditched in 2006 when they moved to Intel products.
PA Semi's power sipping design pulls just 13 watts max with its dual-core 64-bit superscaler PowerPC processors, part number PA6T-168M, at 2.0 GHz. It has a coherent cross-bar fabric which keeps everything in sync, dual DDR2 memory controllers for QDR performance, 2MB of cache, all built atop an I/O system with 8 PCI-e engines, each capable of 4 GB/s throughput. The bas system also includes four 1 GigE protocol engines and two 10 GigE engines. The GigE protocol includes VLAN flow control and TCP/IP acceleration.
According to ZDNet's blog, In order for Intel to get to that 13 watt power sipping spec it would have to decrease the clock speed for the CPU core and the FSB speed. And, they're right (at least for now).
So, why has Apple bought PA Semi? No one knows and everyone is guessing. I think it's for a future, currently undisclosed device. It will be something like an enhanced MID or iPhone-like device, but built more to a PC standard based on Apple's Air design, meaning slim and trim, durable and portable, usable and enjoyable. In short, all of Apple's trademarks wrapped up into this one, future device. Of course, that's just my opinion. But, I'm probably right. :)
Please post your thoughts below. Read more at ZDNet, Information Week and Apple Insider.

Elderly patients needing hip fracture operations at the Royal Derby Hospital are recovering more quickly and remaining in hospital for one of the shortest periods of time compared to other hospitals nationwide, says a new report.
The National Hip Fracture Database National Report 2013 is a clinically-led audit of hip fracture care. It looks at six standards of care across 186 hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The report looks at six standard measures such as prompt admission to an orthopaedic ward, length of time a patient waits for hip surgery, and standards of nursing care, to give a national overview and a hospital-by-hospital breakdown.
The report shows that 96% of Royal Derby Hospital hip fracture patients receive surgery within 48 hours, compared to the national average of 86%.The average length of stay in hospital at Derby is 12 days, the lowest in the East Midlands and one of the lowest rates nationally. Hip fractures costs the NHS one-and-a-half-billion £s per year.
"Here at Derby Hospitals we treat around 550 patients with hip fractures each year" says Orthopaedic Consultant Stephen Milner, who is Clinical Lead for Orthopaedic Trauma. "We are delighted to see our excellent performance in the management of hip fracture patients being maintained. This means that patients requiring hip fracture surgery here in Derby receive the best possible care. It's also reassuring to see that, whilst the national mortality rate for this group of patients is over 8%, at Derby Hospitals the figure is substantially lower, at 6.4%."

A chunk of space rock is likely the object many saw streak across the sky Saturday evening above the greater Chattanooga area.
Dr. Bill Cooke, a NASA meteor scientist, said in an email late Saturday evening that preliminary information indicated a bit of space debris entered the Earth's atmosphere above northern Alabama, igniting a fiery trail through the sky.
He believed the meteoroid moved southeast, "finally burning up over Atlanta."
He said the only video available Saturday night was from a mobile phone, but based on that, he estimated the brightness of the meteor "to be similar to the crescent moon, which means the meteoroid was a few inches in diameter."
A meteoroid can potentially travel many thousand miles before encountering Earth.
"When it hits the atmosphere at speeds of tens of thousands of miles per hour, it burns up ['ablates'], leaving a streak of light we call a meteor or shooting star. If any fragments of the rock survive to the ground, those pieces are called meteorites," Cooke wrote.
"A fireball is a meteor brighter than the planet Venus," he wrote.
Robert Lunsford, with the American Meteor Society, also said it was "too early to know for certain" about the object. But, he wrote, "it was most likely a random meteor."
According to www.amsmeteors.org, there have been 2,140 meteor "events" so far this year.
Lunsford said this is high time for random meteor activity in the Northern Hemisphere.
"We are at a point in the year where the sporadic (random) meteor activity is at its highest as seen from the northern hemisphere," he wrote. "This may explain why we are seeing quite a few fireballs recently."
Saturday night, more that 80 witnesses claimed on the meteor society's website they witnessed the glowing phenomenon, some from as far away as Maryland.
In response to a Times Free Press query on Facebook, hundreds of local witnesses described the fireball.
"I saw it for at least 15 seconds - which seemed like an eternity," Matt McLelland wrote in an email. He said it was visible from the Wine over Water event at the Walnut Street Bridge and appeared over AT&T Stadium, then headed toward Erlanger.
Laurie Hadwyn-Janes, a Chattanooga attorney, wrote that she was biking near the Hunter Museum when she and others saw it.
The fireball moved "all the way across downtown then it disintegrated - giant sparkly ball of fire all the way across downtown," she wrote. "I screamed and pointed 'What is that?' Everyone was gasping - it was a once in a lifetime blessing from God - amazing!"

Parts of Life

Poem by: Runefaust
In the shadows of one's mind he lurks.
Plotting, scheming, and manipulating are what he enjoys.
He takes pride in his work; tearing friendships asunder,
planting treachery in allied hearts.
Simple tasks for one so vile
for one who has brought even lovers to their end.
Amidst turmoil, blood, and tears,
You will see this fiend and you will see…
His joy.
Tis a teacher,
Of things thou should'st be weary of,
Things that show thine blood to thee.
Tis the destroyer,
Breaking thine body, cleaving flesh or bone;
Perhaps shattering thine heart with loss
Or unfulfilled love
Tis inevitability
Nothing thou can stop,
For tis part of our lives.
Thou shall never know peace
If thou should'st run,
Thou shalt become,
Thine own destroyer.
Death is a collector.
To many, a devil who takes our loved ones.
He takes those young, he takes those old.
He cares not of age, as he steps into your home;
He is the collector and you are his debt.
Death is release,
A liberator of the soul from its cage of flesh and bone.
To those who suffer, who linger, he is an angel,
who takes them, from this world of pain into Paradise.
Death is neither good, nor is he evil.
He feels neither pride nor joy, in his ghastly work.
For he merely plays one part upon this stage,
Among us all as we move through life.

Jealousy was good, as I already commented on it. Pain was better, even in the personification he was given a mystique and shadow feeling, like the reputation of a great warrior. I like you notion of death, being neither good nor evil, in many of my stories it is the same, though it is not one person, but many reapers of souls that share one conscious. Loved these pieces, very, very good.
Thank ye kindly my friend. I don't know if I had many people liking this when I wrote it, it didn't win the contest I entered it in at school anyway haha. I was thinking of what pain can teach you in certain parts of life, even if they might not necessarily be the right lessons, and they're just going to happen anyway. :] It's just a sad fact.
I thought that's more of death's role after a few thoughts. I actually had a short story written with a version of Death like that in mind....I should find that and rewrite that.

Meet the Owner
Noëlle Santos is a millennial, Afro-Latina, hailing from the Bronx in New York City. OK, this third-person mumbo-jumbo is torture. We know it's me, lol…
Hi! I'm Noëlle; representing the Bronx. I came of age in Soundview, and at age 16, I was a high school graduate living independently in Parkchester. In 2008, I became a resident of Crotona Park East, where I reside today.
My studies at Lehman College earned me both a bachelor's degree in business/accounting (2009) and a master's degree in human resources management (2012). I also hold the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and Society for Human Resources Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) designations. When I'm not working as the HR & Payroll Director for an IT firm, I'm exploring the Bronx & beyond, operating my book club, working in bookstores, and striving towards bringing the only bookshop to our borough.
The Lit. Bar will be just as multifaceted as me: a bookstore/wine bar/community center. I dream of a graffiti & chandelier theme, much like my life.

MANHATTAN — Midtown will nearly grind to a halt Tuesday as President Barack Obama, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and various foreign leaders hit New York for the United Nations General Assembly and the Clinton Global Initiative.
Obama will continue his whirlwind tour of the city with remarks to the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday morning. Afterward, he will head the Sheraton Hotel at West 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue for a speech at President Bill Clinton's Global Clinton Initiative. Romney will also speak there earlier Tuesday.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is also set to arrive at the Warwick Hotel on West 54th Street Tuesday, further adding to the traffic woes.
New Yorkers can expect street closures around the Sheraton during Obama's and Romney's visits.
Also, for the U.N. General Assembly, the FDR Drive's 42nd Street exit will be closed from 5 a.m. to the evening, according to traffic guru Sam "Gridlock" Schwartz. Additional street closures include First Avenue between 42nd and 48th streets, as well as 44th and 46th streets between First and Second avenues, Schwartz said.
Park and Lexington avenues from 48th to 52nd streets will be closed until 5 p.m. Tuesday. The FDR Drive south of 63rd Street will be closed both ways Tuesday from late afternoon to evening.
The M50, M42, M34/M34 SBS and M15/M15 SBS buses will also be re-routed through the day because of the U.N.
NY Waterways also warned Hudson and East River ferry riders to plan for delays and possible closures at Pier 11/Wall Street when the president heads out of the city between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The chaos is expected to continue through the week, with Ahmadinejad addressing the U.N. Wednesday at the U.N. and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking Thursday.
Obama started the week taping an afternoon appearance on "The View" with First Lady Michelle Obama on Monday, followed by a U.N. event with visiting Heads of State and Government.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg had advice for beating the traffic: take mass transit instead.
"The Police Department works very hard to minimize the disruption," Bloomberg Monday. "But there's no question, you are going to, if you go in certain neighborhoods, get stuck in traffic. And so, mass transit's a better alternative."

Gulab jamun is an ever famous Indian dessert made form Khova/khoya/mawa,prepared by evaporating the milk for hours together in low flame.The khova is mixed with few other ingredients,shaped into balls and deep fried in ghee/oil.The deep fried balls are then dunked into the flavored warm sugar syrup to make a sinful dessert.Sure it is a time consuming recipe and requires loads of time.But with perseverance and patience mastering any skill is possible and so is the art of making gulab jamun (or any other recipe with a reputation for being complicated). There are some easy methods of making this dessert,simplest being getting a gulab jamun mix,next is a recipe using milk powder and other one being using condensed milk.Some places potato gulab jamuns are very famous too.But the most authentic and the traditional way of making this dessert is using khova.Here is a recipe for the authentic gulab jamun.
1.Roll the balls very tight applying pressure and make the balls as smooth as possible with out any cracks,else they will break when dropped in hot oil. 2.The sugar syrup should not be very hot as that will also cause gulab jamuns to break.The sugar syrup should be just warm so that the balls will soak in. 3.Do not make larger balls as they will considerably increase in size when getting fried. 4.Always keep the flame in low while frying else the balls will brown from outside and not cooked inside. 5.Serving hot gulab jamuns with scoop of vanilla ice cream is a classic combination

What is hypnotherapy with psychotherapy
Hypnosis is a totally natural occurrence. It is a pleasant and relaxing state that everybody can experience. People enter a trance state everyday as they watch TV, read books, use computers, or even just thinking or day dreaming. Hypnosis is often referred to as conscious hypnosis as the person is not actually asleep just in a very relaxed state whilst being aware of any sounds or activity around them. In hypnosis you will experience a heightened sense of awareness of your thoughts allowing you to concentrate without undue distraction. Each person has the ability to come out of the trance state whenever they wish to do so.
Hypnotherapy is the application of visualisation and relaxation techniques combined with psychotherapeutic treatment strategies. Bradley's own therapeutic approach is based on eclectic principles which means that he has the capability to draw on a wide range of methodology.

Relating fish health and reproductive metrics to contaminant bioaccumulation at the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston coal ash spill site
A 4.1 million m 3 release of coal ash into the Emory and Clinch rivers in December 2008 at Tennessee Valley Authority s Kingston Fossil Plant has prompted a long-term, large-scale biological monitoring effort to determine if there are chronic effects of this spill on biota. Of concern in this spill were arsenic (As) and selenium (Se), heavy metal constituents of coal ash that can be toxic to fish and wildlife and also mercury (Hg): a legacy contaminant that can interact with Se in organisms. We used fish filet bioaccumulation data from Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, Redear Lepomis microlophus, Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides and Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus and metrics of fish health including fish condition indices, blood chemistry parameters and liver histopathology data collected from 2009-2013 to determine whether tissue heavy metal burdens relate 1) to each other 2) to metrics of fish health (e.g., blood chemistry characteristics and liver histopathology) and condition, and 3) whether relationships between fish health characteristics and heavy metals are related to site and ash-exposure. We found that burdens of Se and As are generally related to each other between tissues, but burdens of Hg between tissues are not generally positively associated. Taking analyses together,more »
