NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Anxious to get the 2012 season underway after a fall semester of conditioning, drills and scrimmages, the Lipscomb baseball team hits Dugan Field on Friday afternoon for the first spring practice of the year.
"The excitement is back for sure as we're going to jump back on the field this weekend and hopefully get the pitchers back on the mound and get their feet wet and get us back into playing mode," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "We had a great fall I felt like with a bunch of new faces together with some veterans that are still around.
"Our culture has improved, our work in the weight room has improved and our attention to detail has improved. There's a different feel to this team compared to where we left off last spring."
The Bison are slated to hit the field in intrasquad scrimmages on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Dugan Field. Following some practice reps, Lipscomb hits the field for the scrimmage first on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
"With the way the season is setup, we have three weekends before we jump into a game," said Forehand. "To give our pitchers and our hitters every opportunity to get the live repetitions, we felt like we would go ahead and jump into it this weekend. "
With all Lipscomb practices open to the public, Saturday's scrimmage is slated for a Noon start, while Sunday's event will begin at 1:30 p.m.
The Bison open 2012 hosting three games of the "Mule Mix Classic" on campus. The first contest of the season is slated for Feb. 17 against Saint Louis at 4 p.m. Lipscomb then hosts Evansville on Saturday the 18th before rounding out the round-robin event against Kansas on Sunday. Season tickets are on sale now by calling 615-966-5456.

Rye bread tips and tricks applied
This is the "80 Percent Rye with Rye Flour Soaker" from Jeffrey Hamelman's "Bread." It's a wonderful bread about which I've blogged before. (Sweet, Sour and Earthy: My new favorite rye bread) These loaves were made applying a number of tips and tricks contributed by a number of TFL members, and I have to say, I was pleased with the results of every tip I used. So, a big "Thank you!" to MiniO, hansjoakim, nicodvb and the other rye mavens who contributed them.
I followed the formula and methods according to Hamelman, with the following techniques added:
Rather than dividing and shaping on a floured board with floured hands, I wet the board, my hands and my bench knife. I kept all of these wet, and experienced much less sticking of this very sticky dough to the everything it touched.
I shaped the boules "in the air," rather than on the board. Again, less dough sticking to the board, and I think I got a smoother loaf top without tears.
I proofed the loaves in brotformen, floured as usual with a rice flour/AP mix, with the seams down. This results in the loaves opening at the seams, yielding a lovely chaotic top to the loaves and no bursting of the sides.
I am very happy with these loaves. I'll continue to use these techniques and recommend them to others struggling with high-hydration, high-percentage rye breads.

Set amidst the turmoil of the Dunkirk evacuations, this adventure sets the heroes against more than the Nazi hordes. Sent into Dunkirk just as most of the British were leaving, the intrepid investigators are in search of a missing secret agent who has vital intelligence regarding a threat known only as Operation Needle.
It opens with notes from the author about the delights and dangers of setting an adventure against the backdrop of World War 2 - to catch the excitement and make a good game without trivialising a time when many good people lost their lives - before launching into the background of the adventure itself. Section D, the characters' employer, does not know much about what their missing agent has discovered but are convinced that it's something that they need to know, hence the mission with which they will be tasked. This is followed by details of what is actually going on, a foul plot indeed to drown the escaping British troops by arcane means. The scene is set well, with copious details of the real history of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of Dunkirk, complete with atmospheric illustrations, a comprehensive timeline of events and a map of the Dunkirk bridgehead. Even before you get to the adventure proper, there is plenty of scope for encounters that may prove hostile, even deadly, to the unwary.
Next comes the actual adventure, presented as five 'episodes' which can be played through as appropriate based on character actions. Scattered throughout are options galore to enable you to cope with just about anything that the characters might decide to do. There are even a couple of different ways to get them involved - what if they are Germans? Or the more traditional academic sort of investigators rather than soldiers/agents? Although the real timeline for Dunkirk is provided it is recommended that the Keeper be flexible and fit it around the adventure, rather than rushing the adventure to accommodate historical fact.
There is plenty for the investigators to do during the adventure, and despite the setting much is 'traditional' investigative fare although there are of course plenty of opportunities to engage in combat. There's even the chance to get aboard a U-Boat, whilst the investigation should take them beyond the confines of the waking world into a very strange realm indeed. The options continue thick and fast, with notes as to how to handle any eventuality from them solving the adventure before reaching Episode 4 to what to do if they get captured...
Four pre-generated characters are provided for groups who wish to dive straight in to the adventure. On the rules front there are some new skills and spells which might prove useful during the course of the game as well as notes on shell shock and how to handle guardposts and skirmishes effectively. Several tanks and other warlike vehicles that may be encountered are presented. Finally, some in-character resources in the shape of the initial briefing pack and loads of handouts - all very atmospheric and looking the part.
It's an exciting adventure, blending the Mythos skilfully with known history and delightfully open-ended, with good support for the Keeper whatever the investigators do; it would be difficult to derail the adventure, even if they might end up changing the course of the war! Of such things are good alternate histories made...
This nice little one shot takes investigators to the beaches and villages of Dunkirk on the eve of the evacuation efforts. This adventure does provide a feasible, even if pulpy, explanation of why Hitler hesitated in not wiping out the British Expeditionary Force in 1940.
Included are new rules for doing the game of spies in the 1940s and even the suggestion how one might transpose some of what The Laundry RPG does so well back in time. Save, there is nothing remotely jokey or humorous about the scenario (although, I would not put it past some players to find a way). New equipment and some new skills are included.
Because of the real world constraints the adventure the events operate on a very tight timetable but in no way are players being railroaded and the locales while highly local – offer up players many excellent opportunities for role playing, as well memorable environments.
The art is better than first instalment and includes some real nice props/playing aides. Where this adventure does a little flat, like, the first is in the area of character portraits (both of PCs and NPCs) and also in the description of the NPCs. For it to have a truly pulp feel (which is one mode of play clearly spelled out as an option) – there must be truly memorable villainous NPCs. And, well, the NPCs here are not terribly memorable – they are more just adversaries and once their secret is determined the adventure does fall flat a bit as it becomes a race against time.
Several different possible endings are suggested which is always a good thing in a Cthulhu adventure… It is suggested that the adventure can be paired with the first one but other nothing suggests that the players have been doing much together in the bowels of MI5 since the last adventure. Maybe, it is left to creative Keepers to run a World War Cthulhu campaign linking up the actions of players that will take them to Dunkirk. However, none of this distracts from an excellently written and plausible adventure in which players do not outweigh the heroic actions of real solders which is always a danger when dealing with something already quite horrific as WW2.

Hi Ladies
Its is comforting to know that I am not alone. Sounds strange, but you know what I mean. My boss at work is a 52 year old childless woman, & I prey I dont end up like her, sooo bitter and twisted - you know the sort.
Still pondering on adoption - but not sure at all. Half of me thinks sod it, live a totally selfish life, 3 hols a year, money in the bank, but then at the back of my mind knowing this isnt what i really want??? aaarrrrhh But then i cant do any more, either adopt, or leave dh for some one else, but I would never ever do that.
My SIL is about to give birth to my parents first gchild. Sooooo happy, but could cry my eyes out too. She was a highly strung career girl, and the maternity leave and coffee mornings have got to her already. She used to be my drinking pal too. oh how times change eh.
Sounds stupid, but we are gonna get a puppy. Got to get my mothering instincts out on something! Cannot face another go EVER on ivf. And i definately wont be watching that damn programme thats on Thurs with Trevor Eve....Couldnt even stomach that one about older mums and dads.
I did say that I would only have another go with donor IUI. DH said NO WAY!
We will be ok. Weve got our health ...working on the happiness

Durban OPEN | 11 - 14 December 2013
Durban, South Africa, December 13, 2013 – Janis Smedins and Aleksandrs Samoilovs are one win away from becoming the World Tour ranking winners in Durban. The Latvians had a narrow escape against Polish youngsters Dawid Popek and Pawel Pelka (21-11 18-21 15-13) in their last pool match at the FIVB Beach Volleyball Durban Open, but survived and reached the last 16 on Friday.
The quarterfinals will be enough to stay ahead of Brazil's Pedro Solberg and Bruno Oscar Schmidt to secure the overall World Tour title. Besides Pedro and Bruno two more Brazilian teams made the second round: Alison/Vitor Felipe and Thiago/ Brandao.
In the women's competition Austria's 24th seeded Sabine Swoboda and Bianca Zass surprised friends and foes by reaching the last 16. As did U19 world champion Eduarda Santos Lisboa and her partner Thais Rodrigues Ferreira from Brazil.
The Brazilian youngsters will play compatriots Fernanda and Elize Maia for a quarterfinal spot. The Austrians are up against Thailand's Radarong/Udomchavee.

Greece's Vasiliki Arvaniti and Panagiota Karagkouni reached their first important FIVB milestone at the FIVB Beach Volleyball Durban Open on Friday. For the first time since they partnered up at the beginning of this year the Greek pair reached the second elimination round. More
Out of respect for former South African president Nelson Mandela, who will be buried on Sunday, the semifinals and finals of the Durban Open were rescheduled. Originally they were set for Saturday evening, but due to problems with the lighting they have to be played during daylight.
Matches start at 6.00 on Saturday morning. The women's semis are scheduled for 9.30 and 10.30 followed by the men's semifinals at 11.30 and 12.30. The bronze medal match for the women will start at 13.30, the men's at 14.20. The finals are played at 15.10 and 16.00.
The winners in both the men's and women's competition earn 11.000 US dollars. The silver medallists split 8.000 and third place earns 6.000.
The 2013 Durban Open is the fifth FIVB event in South Africa, after editions in 1995, 1996, 2004 and 2005. All previous events except the one in 1996 were held in Cape Town.
Durban is the third largest city in South Africa
after Johannesburg and Cape Town. With a population of almost 3.5 million it is
also the largest city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal and is located on the
east coast of the African continent.

MACON, Ga. (Dec. 30, 2013) – Just a week after being named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week, ETSU junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) has been named the league's Player of the Week.
The conference office announced Monday that Riley picked up the honor courtesy of his impressive performance in the Buccaneers' 73-62 victory over Horizon League foe Valparaiso Sunday afternoon. In that contest, Riley registered a game-high 19 points and added four steals to his stat line, helping the Bucs force a decisive 24 Valpo turnovers.
The win extended the Bucs' home winning streak to six games and improved the team's record to 7-6, the first time ETSU has been over .500 since the end of the 2011-12 season. In those victories, Riley has consistently stepped up his game, leading the Bucs in scoring in three of those past five games.
Riley and the rest of the Bucs will return to action on the road Saturday, opening Atlantic Sun Conference play at Kennesaw State. Tip is set for noon inside the KSU Convocation Center.

I don't mean to pick on you at all, but, firstly, for C-3PO, collectors have always whined how we want a SA C-3PO. Now Hasbro has said that if they do this, then they can't use the shiny-looking armor, because it's a particular type of plastic/whatever that can't be easily conjoined in numerous places with ball joints.
All Hasbro would have had to do is issue the U-3PO B.A.D. painted gold (not vac-metalized) and include a net for Chewie to haul is broken ass around in. Instead we get a chubby version of 3PO that tries too hard to incorporate removable panels.
Hoth Leia Image...Clicky to check her out!Hmmm... She looks a bit muckier than all the prototype images showed, so that's interesting. That's bound to annoy some. It doesn't bother me too much but I may clean her up a little too, as that seems excessive to me.Overall this figure looks fantastic to me though. I love the sculpt on her. As far as I'm concerned, Hoth Leia's done now. A re-use for a Bespin Escape Leia would be great, with a new headsculpt of course.
After almost 3 years away, these figures just might get me back into 3-¾" collecting...

Two men have been charged and a third is being sought in connection with a fight that led to a shooting Saturday in Raceland, authorities said.
Two men have been charged and a third is being sought in connection with a fight that led to a shooting Saturday in Raceland, authorities said.
Jacques D. Thomas, 30, of Raceland is wanted for the attempted second-degree murder of John Ashe II. 42, of Newport News, Va., the Lafourche Sheriff's Office said today.
Deputies have also arrested Shentrelle Gray, 35, of 304 Bradford St. in Thibodaux for assisting Thomas in the incident.
Shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday, deputies responded to the area of Ayo Street in Raceland after receiving calls about a possible shooting, according to the Sheriff's Office. Deputies found the suspect's vehicle and noticed Gray walking from it. They learned Ashe and Thomas had been at a house on Ayo Street when they began arguing. Ashe allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened Thomas. Thomas fled, and Ashe pursued, but Thomas was able to escape.
Thomas then asked Gray to drive him in an effort to locate and shoot Ashe in retaliation for the incident, detectives said. While searching along St. Louis Street, Thomas spotted Ashe and fired two shots, which struck a bystander. The victim was hospitalized with moderate injuries and later released.
Gray was booked into the Lafourche jail on charges of accessory to attempted-second-degree murder, authorities said. His bond was set at $75,000. Ashe was issued a criminal summons for aggravated assault, simple battery and simple criminal damage to property.
Anyone with information on Thomas' whereabouts is asked to contact Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433.

Zimmermann allows just two baserunners in shutout
SAN DIEGO -- The Nationals' starting pitching continues to dominate. This time, it was right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, who threw his first complete game of the season and blanked the Padres, 6-0, at Petco Park on Sunday afternoon.

SAN DIEGO -- The Nationals' starting pitching continues to dominate. This time, it was right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, who threw his first complete game of the season and blanked the Padres, 6-0, at Petco Park on Sunday afternoon.
Zimmermann wasn't sure if he was going to pitch a good game because he had a rotten bullpen session.View Full Game Coverage
"But I guess that's the way it works. When your bullpen is bad, you usually have a good game," Zimmermann said. "When you have a good bullpen, sometimes there are bad games."
Zimmermann (5-2) retired the first 16 hitters he faced and recorded seven strikeouts before Alexi Amarista singled to right field to record the Padres' first hit. Zimmermann allowed two hits in the game and struck out a career-high 12 batters.
The Nationals improved their record to 32-29 and are now tied with the Braves atop the National League East, one percentage point ahead of the Marlins.
Zimmermann is the second pitcher in franchise history and the first since Jeff Fassero on June 29, 1996, to pitch a complete game shutout during which he allowed two or fewer hits and struck out 11 or more batters. Zimmermann is the first Major League pitcher to accomplish this feat since Shelby Miller did so against the Rockies on May 10 of last year after he allowed just one hit and struck out 13.
"For the most part he was down in the zone, painting corner to corner," Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso said. "He commands the ball so well, gets ahead of guys really quick. We couldn't really put any good swings on him."
At no point during the game was Zimmermann thinking about pitching a no-hitter. He said it's tough to pull it off.
"I give up a hit an inning, so they are going to get a hit at some point," he said. "It was fun putting up the zeros. The main thing was to go deep and win the ballgame."
Zimmermann said it helped that the team was able to score runs for him early and it helped him relax on the mound.
"I got a lot of strikeouts today, which means my fastball is pretty good," Zimmermann said. "I was able to locate it pretty good. For the most part, I was throwing strikes and let the guys behind me play defense."
Nationals starters have a 1.20 ERA in their last six starts with 44 strikeouts and one walk. The one walk was allowed by Zimmermann in his last start.
"It's good. Today helps our bullpen. They have been taxed until now," manager Matt Williams said. "Jordan has the ability to save your bullpen."
Zimmermann got run support early and often against left-hander Eric Stults. Denard Span led off the first inning with a double, stole third and then came home on a groundout by Kevin Frandsen to make it 1-0.
Washington added two more runs in the following inning. After Ryan Zimmerman singled to left field, Ian Desmond homered over the center-field fence to make it 3-0. It was Desmond's team-leading 13th home run of the season.
How do you explain Desmond's power of late? Desmond is allowing himself to hit the ball to the entire field.
"His power has been to the middle of the diamond, certainly his last two homers," Williams said. "He has the ability to hit it out anywhere he wants to. But that creates a good swing path. He is just staying in the middle of the diamond, working hard on that during batting practice."
In the next inning, Washington added three runs. Danny Espinosa highlighted the scoring with a two-run single off reliever Tim Stauffer. The runs were charged to Stults, who lasted 2 1/3 innings and allowed the six runs on eight hits.
Frandsen likes the way the Nationals are able to put the past behind them. On Saturday, Washington lost a heartbreaker, 4-3, to San Diego. It was a different story Sunday.
"Last night was last night," Frandsen said. "I felt the approach against a guy like Stults -- he is someone you can get really big against, someone you could try to like because you see him so well. But then he will run a ball off the plate. Next thing you know, you are chasing. I felt like he was throwing strikes, we hit the ball hard and the guys were aggressive in the zone."
The Nationals next play an important series in San Francisco against the Giants, who have the best record in baseball.
"[The Giants] are doing things really well," Williams said. "They went into today 20 games over .500. Pretty good season they are having. We hope to play well there and win some of those games. We'll take tomorrow first and see if we could win that one."

House of Jerky has gained a place among my short list of favorite jerky brands by focusing on jerky with tons of flavor, using all natural ingredients, and being easy to eat.
Since peppered beef jerky is one of my favorite varieties, I was very curious to see how well the "House" could do up this tried and true jerky style.
The company is operated by a husband and wife team, and sells its jerky online as well as through independent shop owners across the country.
Beef (top round), soy sauce, water, pineapple juice, liquid smoke, black pepper, garlic powder.
After eating a few pieces, this basically tastes very similar to the Natural Style, but with more black pepper taste. It should, since the ingredients are nearly the same.
The first thing I taste is the soy sauce, some salt, some smokiness, and plenty of black pepper. I can chew up a piece, and suck out more strong flavors throughout, as I keep on chewing. There's a lot of flavor packed in these pieces.
There is also some good natural meat flavors in here too. Being that House of Jerky does not use preservatives, I always wonder if the meat will taste stale, but this does not. The vacuum-sealed package, keeps it fresh.
Overall, this has a great taste, predominantly defined by the soy sauce, black pepper, and natural meat flavors.
Meat Consistency
These are real cuts of meat, sliced thin to medium, and in large, medium, and small pieces.
These pieces are dry, but not tough. They tear apart fairly easily, and chew easily.
The review sample I have contains very lean pieces, with the exception of one small piece which had quite a bit of fat, including a strip of chewy gristle. Otherwise the other pieces offered a great beef jerky experience.
Snack Value
House of Jerky sells this variety from its website at a price of $10.50 for a 4oz package, that works out to $2.63 per ounce. That price also includes the shipping.
For general jerky snacking purposes, at the $2.63 price per ounce, this jerky seems to provide a good value. I'm getting a good deal of snackability for its great overall flavor, good chewing texture and good meat consistency. That price is considerably higher than what you'd pay for major brands at the grocery store, but it provides a better flavor and consistency.
As a peppered beef jerky, it's a decent value. I'm getting a fair amount of black pepper flavor, enough to enjoy but not too strong.
I'm giving this one a "best" rating.
It's largely the same jerky as the Natural Style that I reviewed earlier, with the same taste, but the exception that this offers more black pepper seasoning. For the most part it wasn't that hard for me to review.
I found it very snackable, always wanting more, and found this soaking in flavor, and offering some good natural meat flavors. It's also easy to tear apart and chew.
For my recommended beer pairing, the roasted malt flavor of a brown ale would work well with the natural meat flavors of this jerky, and the light body would work well against the sharp bite of the pepper. Try the Newcastle Brown Ale, or the Moose Drool Brown Ale.
Rating: Best

A Virginia boy born almost a year ago is the first case of congenital Chagas disease reported in the U.S., according to the CDC.
The boy was delivered by cesarean section at 29 weeks gestation in August 2010 after he was found to have fetal hydrops, the accumulation of fluid in at least two fetal compartments, the agency reported in the July 6 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
In the second week after birth, his mother – a 31-year-old immigrant from Bolivia – told physicians she had been previously diagnosed with Chagas and testing of the infant revealed evidence of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes the disease, which is transmitted to humans by blood-sucking insects.
These insects are often called "kissing bugs" because they tend to bite people on the lips.
The boy is "the first documented congenital transmission of T cruzi in the United States," the CDC reported, adding, "additional, but unrecognized, cases likely exist."
The CDC said the boy's case is a reminder of the need for greater awareness of the disorder among healthcare providers.
The boy was born with ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity, pleural effusion, and pericardial effusion, the agency noted, and his physicians carried out a range of tests to discover the cause.
Blood tests for Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, and cytomegalovirus were negative, as were genetic tests for cytomegalovirus and enterovirus, a malaria smear, and a hepatitis panel.
Antibodies to herpes simplex virus were present, but cultures and genetic testing for viral nucleic acid were negative.
The boy was treated empirically with acyclovir (Zovirax) and given five days of ampicillin (Principen) and gentamicin (Garamycin) for presumed sepsis.
But testing for the parasite did not take place until the mother told doctors she had been diagnosed with the disease during a previous pregnancy in Bolivia and had not been treated.
T cruzi trypomastigotes -- the extracellular form of the parasite -- were found in a blood smear, serologic tests for antibodies against the parasite were positive, and polymerase chain reaction testing for T cruzi was strongly positive, the CDC reported.
After a 60-day course of benznidazole, the boy's symptoms cleared up and at 10 months repeat testing for the parasite was negative. Benznidazole and nifurtimox, the anti-parasitic drugs used to treat Chagas disease, are not approved in the U.S., but are available through the CDC for use under investigational protocols.
Testing of the mother showed she had Chagas disease, although she had no signs or symptoms and her electrocardiogram was normal.
The incidence of such cases is not well understood, the CDC noted, although an estimate based on home-country prevalence and birth rates among immigrants from areas where Chagas is endemic suggests between 65 and 315 congenital transmissions a year in the U.S.
The agency noted that U.S. obstetrician-gynecologists have "limited knowledge" of the disease, adding increased awareness is needed, especially among those who treat pregnant women from Mexico and South and Central America who might be at risk.
One difficulty, the CDC added, is that congenital T cruzi infection "has no specific clinical signs" and infected newborns may have no symptoms or only very subtle ones.
But "even severe disease might not be recognized because of the lack of defining clinical features and because the diagnosis is not considered," the agency said.
On the other hand, treatment in the first few weeks of life has a cure rate of more than 90%, the CDC reported.
Chagas was at the center of a controversy last month when a tropical medicine specialist called the disease the "new HIV/AIDS of the Americas."
Peter Hotez, MD, dean of Baylor College of Medicine's National School of Tropical Medicine in Houston, wrote in an editorial that there were notable similarities between people living with Chagas and those living with HIV/AIDS.
"Based on the chronic morbidities and high mortalities, the prolonged and expensive treatment courses, the lack of therapeutic options, and barriers to access to essential medicines, a patient living with Chagas disease faces formidable challenges that resemble those faced by someone living with HIV/AIDS," he stated (PLoS One online, May 29, 2012).
But the president of the Chagas Disease Foundation called the comparison "unfortunate," adding that unlike HIV/AIDS, Chagas disease can be effectively treated in a short period of time.
The analysis was supported by the CDC. Moore is an employee of the CDC.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT rifle capped its season with a 2198-2176 victory over Penn State in the Expert Division of air rifle at the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Conference (MAC) Championships.
The Nittany Lions showcased the top marksman in the match as Jen Hawk led all shooters with a total of 569. Hawk fired a 98 on her final target card to vault from third to first in the individual standings. MIT's tandem of sophomore Emily Houston and freshman Joseph Lane countered Hawk's total by tying for second place with a score of 568. Houston was at her strongest during the middle of the competition while Lane finished well in matching Houston for the team lead.
Penn State's Ryan Guffey scored 547 to finish next, but MIT placed its third competitor just back as Jennifer Paek totaled 542. Paek rebounded on her final target card to pick up critical points for the Engineers after two scores in the 80's. Justine Li scored 520 to cap the scoring for the Cardinal and Gray, including an impressive 92 on her fourth target card.
The U.S. Naval Academy captured the team title in both air and smallbore with wins against Akron at the Master Division while Coast Guard topped Penn State, 2228-2198, in the Expert Division of smallbore.

Tina from Devucosmetics.com is so amazing! She responds to emails right away and answers any questions you may have; AND she was nice enough to give my readers 15% OFF your entire purchase! USE CODE: NESS15. They also ship internationally! I was honored when she asked if I would review some of her products because I was actually looking to buy a Z Palette. I have seen these palettes at every IMATS show and never bothered to get one, but I have TONS of MAC palettes, and it's a pain traveling with all those palettes or even trying to choose between certain ones; and the Z Palette eliminates some of that fuss.
For those of you who may not have not heard about Z Palette 's ($20), it's basically a customizable palette that's completely flat with a magnetic bottom (no pre-designed pots or worrying about pan sizes). If you have any pan refills that have a magnetic backing, such as MAC blushes, eyeshadows, etc. (it can be used with other brands as well), it can hold your pans so you have only what you want or need. It has a clear see-thru lid so you can easily see what's in your palette, no need for labeling…it's made of what feels like a really sturdy cardboard, but I am sure in time it will be subject to wear and tear and may start to get flimsy, or even the clear lid might start to get raggedy, but it's definitely strong enough to last you a long time.
Even if you have things you want to depot that DON'T have a magnetic backing, you can easily find magnetic dots or squares at any craft store and glue them to the back of the pan so that they can stick to the Z Palette. [Watch my video below to see a demo of the Z Palette in action].
Comparisons? In comparison to the MAC Palettes, they are not that much bigger (watch video to see them side by side), I like that these are bigger than the Unii palettes, and cheaper ($20 vs. $29/$30), even though I think the Unii palettes are really sturdy, well made, and innovative- they are just way too tiny for me. If they had them in a bigger size, I would love them! If I ever decide to get one, one of these days, I will compare them for you guys.
I also got a couple of fabulous lashes (which I already used in a FOTD, i'll post soon!) and a few brushes; the brushes are super soft, not scratchy or harsh, and I like that the ferrules and handles are all black- they look so sleek and professional!

These are great little toys for when you just want a little something more.
I bought the Twister Tenga egg for my partner thinking we were going to use it together. When it came down to it I couldn't find a rhythm so he took over and I concentrated on other parts of his body. He actually ended up really liking it because it made him orgasm every use with little effort. He got about 10 uses from it (until it tore) with cleaning it after every use and avoiding being too rough with it. I will definitely be getting more for him and my guy friends.
Bought this to use with my bf. Not really great. Bf is pretty well endowed and there was just too much stretching/positioning involved, too much work for not enough pleasure.
I got this to change things up some. My hubby was a little hesitant to let me use it on him, but he loves it now. I've even washed them and let them air dry and they are ready to go again. I think they would make great gifts also. Everyone needs a little change.
I have tried both the wavy and the silky, and I think the silky is AWESOME. Wavy doesn't do the trick for me--stimulation is too separated.
The idea that these are "one-time-use" items is utterly ridiculous. First, I am not paying $10 to jerk of once. Second, they hold up much longer than this. Take care of them, clean them, and don't use them like you stole them and you can get a good 40-50 uses at least.
This toy is pretty cool. Don't be fooled by it's disposable label. I've used mine maybe 20 times already and it's holding up, but I use it gently so if I was more aggressive that might be different. I like it because it's gentle on my cock and I can cum more than once per day if use it with out the kind of discomfort you get from a hard beat session. I like it with a viscous lube over a thin one and clean up is very easy.
Despite the many lamentations I've seen on the internet that this toy is intended to be disposable, I was able to, with care, use mine somewhere in the ballpark of 30 times before it finally tore through. The trick is to use it as a penile head stimulator: with some light pressure, lube (Liquid Silk and Maximus both worked beautifully for me), and a small measure of focus, it feels amazing without stretching the elastomer to its limits.
I don't know whether any lubes react with this material, but intuition tells me that silicone would probably be a poor idea. Also, water is fine, but soap should likely be avoided when cleaning the toy to help prevent it from breaking down.
This isn't like other masturbation sleeves that have some rigidity to it – this is very stretchy and is more akin to just using your hand, but the sensation is decidedly different. Each egg has its own pattern built into it. I was using the "Twister" which has spiral curves inside. Others have nodules, web patterns, they even had one for the holidays that had snowflakes!
It's not just about the ol' "grasp 'n tug" – this one can be experimented with. Use it for stimulation of just the head, turn it and twist it, there's a lot you can do with this to create some very enjoyable sensations.
--from our reviewer, EVO
I wanted to try it by putting it over a vibe inside out so I could the feeling of the egg and its texture during vaginal penetration. Yes ladies, you can make this a toy for yourself too! Now as I said it is hard to stretch and get it to stay at the bottom at first so my choice of vibe here with balls really helped. By bringing the opening of the egg below the ball part the was no slippage at all, it totally stayed in place. With a smooth straight shaft chances are it would not work. I lubed it up and proceeded with usual self pleasing. It was really awesome because it adds a bit of girth to the dildo or vibe and the squishy material feels great. Also I could definitely feel the nubs a bit too adding pleasurable sensation. It was like having a whole new vibe to try out.
--from our reviewer, Lady Evyl
As a toy for the Hitachi, I found it pleasant against the skin, easy to put on and take off, and easy to clean. It definitely added a little something different to my masturbation, which is nice. I'm still in mourning for my poor late Wahl coil, which died, much to my dismay, after a particularly rough clit-rubbin' session. I love that the Wahl had multiple heads for different sensations, and particularly liked the suction cup one. The Tenga egg helped me recover from that loss, because it's opened up one thing I really like in a vibrator- variety. With 5 more textures to experience, I'll be kept pretty busy!
Deciding to let the boy try it for it's intended use, I gave it over to him. It took a bit of explaining, but he added some lube and wanked away. "Initially I was skeptical, but found it was pretty nice- it's soft, so I got to maintain a pretty tight pressure while still having that soft feeling. Though," he adds, "it's not going to replace my hand for all future masturbation sessions." So, again, if you seek variety, check one of these out.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Eos Restaurant & Wine Bar Restaurant Review: This longtime Cole Valley favorite hangs edgy art on its walls, and dark, cool earth tones resonate throughout the room. Small plates include Peking duck breast treated to lovely gingered and sun-dried nectarines and shisho chutney, as well as grilled pork tenderloin accompanied by sweet black rice and quince compote. The extensive wine list is particularly enjoyable when explored and paired with the Asian flavors of the fusion menu, and an adjacent wine bar offers a fine place to assuage your appetite while you wait for a table.

Dubbed the BlackBerry "London," the above picture is said to be what to first BBX device will look like. With many of these "leaks," we do suggest you take this with a grain of salt as this is literally the first picture ever put out that claims to be of a BBX phone. This picture could be of an early prototype that will never see the light of day, just like it could be the actual phone we'll see next year. Only time will tell. For now though, let's take a look at what could be possibly coming to BlackBerry die-hards worldwide next Summer (yep, release is scheduled for June 2012, not Q1).
The similarities between the OS we see in the picture and what we've grown use to with the PlayBook Tablet OS are definite visible. The addition of BBM, in the homescreen worries me a little about this potentially being fake. Nonetheless, RIM could have a working version of BBM on BBX that we just don't know about.
According to the leaker, this BBX phone is said to have a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board memory, 8mp rear and 2mp front-facing cameras. The BlackBerry "London" is said to be thinner than the iPhone 4S and about the approximate size of the Galaxy S II.
The design of the phone resembles the Porsche exclusive BlackBerry P9981 and contains what looks like a small bezel around the edges. The BlackBerry "London" also has no buttons as we've been told multiple times it wouldn't. All in all, it does look a lot like a PlayBook in a smartphone style.
I personally am in love with the sleek and simple look of not only the phone but the OS. It's not often we get a single clear picture that shows off both the hardware and software so if this turns out to be true, we are extremely thankful for the leak. Many have been doubting RIM's ability to put out a quality phone with their BBX lineup. Truth be told it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if this was an "intentional" leak to get the masses to start talking about what's to come to the BlackBerry world.
- What do you think about this leaked picture? Real or fake? You make the call in the forums!
