The Waterfalls Then & Now {Restoring The Lefere Mansion}

Rewind to just barely over a year ago.  Spring of 2014.  WE WON THE BID ON THE HOUSE!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!  Tears?  Laughter?  Didn't even know what to think, feel, do....  We met with the son of the previous owner who handed us a large rolled up map.  I barely noticed when he pointed out the waterfall on the map.  Huh?  Waterfall?  Whatever, I wanted to get in the house.  IT WAS OURS!

A little while later, I'm out exploring around in the barns when my hubby calls me on the cell phone.  Really?  He's gotta call me? We're both at the "new" place.  But he's very excited and says  he found the waterfalls and I have got to come see!

Completely overgrown and pretty much hidden from the untrained eye....  this is what I see:
 But that's just the twelve foot falls.  There's much more.....

After moving in, boxes everywhere, house a mess, one of the Lefere's granddaughter;s pulls up one day with her son and nephew.  She had heard a new family had bought the place and was anxious to show her boys.  Ack!  Of all days!  (Christine, you NEED to come back now that I have the place a little more presentable!)  She was the sweetest lady and oh my stars made our day and them some when she brought over a manilla envelope full of old photos!  So all of the old photos you see are compliments of the Lefere family.

First though, here is part of an article about Trail Acres (what this estate was once named) from the Jackson Citizen Patriot about the falls:

The map and this photo below show the stone lined walkway to the sunken garden.  I'm sorry my friends, but we have yet to discover this.  Twenty years of neglect and most of what you see in this picture has completely disappeared!  I did find a rose bush growing wild last year out there somewhere and wondered if it was from the sunken garden?

How cool is this?
American Motors did a photo shoot at the Lefere Estate:

Looking absolutely magnificent in 1979:

And an American Motors car show on the property!
 The jeep is parked on a platform in the middle of the cement pond:

Fast forward to the day we took ownership:

I snapped these this spring when there was still some snow on the ground.  This is looking down into the pond.  We have our work cut out for us!

This is the same view the American Motors car show photo was taken from.  If you look close, there is the stone bridge, and the pond that the jeep was in is also down there.  Hard to tell it is the same place!! :(

If you look close on the bottom left, you can see where the Lefere's added a spotlight to shine up on the fall's after they bought the place from Miner:

 The huge pipes at the top of the falls that circulates the water:

Beginning clean up!  Hey!  There is cement under all the dirt and growth!
This is the 8 foot falls - the 12 foot falls is higher up and flows down to this one, eventually ending in the pond where water is (was) recirculated).

Grandma Kim brought her chain saw with her from Iowa and we went crazy!

Attempting to burn all the brush in the dry pond:

Steps leading down into the pump house.  No, I have not gotten brave enough to go down in there yet!

These kids worked hard digging out some of the cement lined waterway:

And then we got side tracked with other projects.....
We still have a looooooong way to go!!!

What do you think?
Will water ever flow through these beautiful falls again??
We sure hope so!!!
TDC Before and After

  1. Wow!! What a beautiful find. I hope one day you are able to finish the landscape recovery and maybe have a reunion car photo shoot? Best of luck!

    1. Wow, never thought of a reunion car photo shoot! I don't think I have the right connections to make that happen. :) We are the first people to live here that don't have connections. haha

  2. It was so lovely of the former owner's daughter had pictures to share and that the son had a drawing of where everything was. What an exciting addition to your new home and grounds. What a LOT of work too.

  3. Wow! That's an undertaking, for sure! But nice that your parents are able & willing to come & help with the work. Also good to have your kiddos pitch in!

    At last county we've taken out over 100 trees & 80 shrubs & other plantings, including many 'volunteer' plants. The previous owner made a practice of buying remaining inventory of area garden centers over 20 years, then planted everything 5' apart all over 2+ acres in an attempt to hide the house. Since it's huge & on a hill that wasn't going to happen, but it did camouflage the front pretty well. When I mentioned how many plants we had to remove (large trees were taken out by a tree service), one lady who followed our FB page accused us of trying to make a parking lot & said she was unliking our page. Whatever . . . she didn't have to maintain it or pay for upkeep. At any rate, it's not like we were felling trees in a virgin forrest, because most were less than 20 years old & some were inferior species.

  4. Oh wow, Kammy! I can see the water flowing there again! It's really exciting that you have the before photos of years ago. Now you have another before... and I'm anxious to see how your family transforms it back to life. What a landscaping treasure!

  5. What a challenge! Wish I could be there to help you. How sad that it wasn't maintained over the years!

  6. How exciting! What a great place to raise your family.

  7. Oh my God, I am SOOOO excited for you. That is going to be an amazingly fun project to tackle. I cannot wait to see your progress on this. What an adventure! :)

  8. This comment has been removed by the author.

  9. That is some beautiful property! How so exciting for you and your family. I'm excited myself to watch your progress. It's going to be awesome.

  10. What a lot of work, but it will be fabulous when you're done. Good luck, I look forward to seeing the progress as it takes place. I can see your kids loving playing all around it for years to come.

  11. I think those waterfalls will be going again some day! Neat that you have those pictures! And neat that it's a project for the whole family to work on together!

  12. Oh my goodness! How cool is that?! It's like an archaeological dig, LOL! It's great that you have pictures of it, so you know what it was like before. Are you guys planning on completely restoring it?

Comments - Next best thing to chocolate! :) Please let me know you visited!

About Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers work on components, devices and systems that use electricity and magnetism.

Since the range of such systems is very wide, we find electrical engineers in many diverse areas. For example, electrical engineers supervise the design and manufacturing of microchips that will be implanted in hospital patients; they develop large relays and generators for power stations that will provide electricity to towns and regions; they work on circuits for computers, cellular telephones, robots, trains, cars and aircraft; they design control systems for airplanes; they optimize audio-visual systems for entertainment, both for large stadiums and for private homes.

Many electrical engineers work on the design of very large systems that integrate thousands, even hundreds of thousands of components, to provide special functionality or specific services. Electrical engineers work with electricity in a variety of areas – power generating and transmitting; aircraft and automobiles; broadcasting and communications systems; lighting and wiring in buildings; machinery controls; and radar and navigation systems. They can be involved with the design of new products as well as testing equipment and solving problems.

Here are the principal industry sectors that employ electrical engineers.

Energy and Electrical Power - Power and Energy engineers deal with energy generation by a variety of methods, including turbine, hydro, fuel cell, solar, geothermal, and wind. They are also responsible for electrical power distribution from source to consumer and within manufacturing plants, offices, hospitals, and laboratories. They design devices such as electric motors, transformers, electric generators, relays, transmission lines, and batteries.

Telecommunications -Engineers are involved in all aspects of communication system design and in all major varieties of communication systems. These include broadcasting, telephony (landlines and cellular telephony), terrestrial and satellite communication, networks, and communication across the Internet.

Control – The control engineering focusing on the modelling and designing of dynamic control systems used in, for example, the flight and propulsion of airplanes and the cruise control present in many modern cars.

Computers- The computer industry serves almost all technical sectors, including aerospace, transportation, construction, telecommunications, power, medicine, consumer electronics, education, and automated manufacturing.The field offers electrical engineers with many opportunities, from the design of more efficient chips for computer circuits to the design of large clusters of interconnected computers; these clusters take advantage of scale and load analysis to use faster and more economical computing methodologies.

PROGRAM OFFERED -B.S (Electrical Engineering)

The Electrical Engineering department at KFUEIT currently offers an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering with specialization in power and communication engineering. The bachelor’s degree is recognised by Higher Education Commission (HEC) and accreditation with Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is under process.

Research & Development

Electrical Engineering department of KFUEIT offers a wide range of research opportunities to develop dynamic and innovative solutions to the World’s most daunting challenges. KFUEIT’s research efforts are enhanced through creative collaboration with leading research institutes and consortia around the world.

The function of the engineering profession is to manipulate materials, energy, and information, thereby creating benefit for humankind. To do this successfully, engineers must have a knowledge of nature that goes beyond mere theory- knowledge that is traditionally gained in educational laboratories.

Electrical Engineering laboratories at KFUEIT are equipped with most advanced equipment to facilitate students enhancing their understanding and skills. Qualified engineers supervise these laboratories, direct experiments and guide students about laboratory manuals.

Electrical Engineering department of KFUEIT has the following electrical engineering laboratories:

Feeding the Five Men - August 2012

Feeding the Five Men - August 2012

I wish I were more Christ-like.  Especially when when all the men are hungry.

Can you image?  Just five loaves of bread, two fish, one prayer, and all the men are satisfied?  I want to go to that cooking school!

Unfortunately, it doesn't happen like that here.

My guys help me a ton around the house and will fix meals when I ask for help. But the bottom line is that everyone is happier when I make the plan, do the shopping, and get the meals on the table. My Christ-likeness is going to have to come through serving cheerfully.

A few years ago, I started planning for a month at a time. It works fairly well. As long as I actually sit down and do it. The planning and shopping can be long, but once done, I'm always thankful to have things in order.

I can't say I have a well thought out system yet. I have a Cooking Board on Pinterest. I find it relaxing to quickly save a recipe or cooking idea to come back to later when I'm actually planning the menus.

I keep a notebook in the kitchen dedicated to monthly/weekly menu plans and recipes.  I really enjoy looking through previous years' notebooks. I like remembering when and where I found a recipe, and who joined us for dinner. I tend to print a lot of recipes and tape them in the notebook. I also print this blank monthly template and tape it in my notebook. Very old fashion. I know.

New idea - I decided this month to create a list of all the meals with links to recipes where appropriate.  The list below is really more for my organization than for anyone else's benefit, but perhaps others might find a new recipe to try!

By the way: Saturday is always pizza night here.  Sometimes homemade.  Sometimes frozen.  Sometimes pre-made from Sam's Club.  Depends on life and budget. And Friday night is always leftover night.  My favorite night of the week!

Note: I will try to add the recipes marked with the * over then next few weeks.

  • Christmas Food Outreach

       Christmas is my favorite time of year where we joyfully anticipate the birth of our Savior and are reminded of God’s amazing love for us. Unfortunately for many, it's hard to think about Christmas because they are hungry and concerned about feeding their family or themselves. This year, we're going share the good news of Christmas by delivering boxes of food to families we've had the privilege of serving in our Food Pantry.

      "But when the fullness of time had time, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)   Christmas is as much an end as is it a beginning. It's a beginning in the sense that Christmas marks the moment God invaded our broken world to undo the curse of sin. However, it's also an end in the sense that Christmas represents the fulfillment of centuries of divine promises and ...

    In a postmodern culture, everyone has a different notion of truth. What’s true for you might not be true for me and vice versa.

Mighty  Killers  Marvin  King 1 Blog Hero V02

Press Record: Interview with Marvin King of MightyKillers

At a basic level, MIGHTYKILLERS.com is a website that sells hats, shirts sweaters and other apparel. Yet, it is so much more than that to founder and creative director Marvin King.

An avid photographer, King has infused unique visual statements into his clothing line. So much so that MIGHTYKILLERS has seen rapid growth in its third year of existence, becoming a fixture in the international photography community.

MIGHTYKILLERS hosts Instagram “meet ups” in the Bay area as well as across the world including India, Japan, China and Hong Kong, drawing in hundreds of people. King and his team focus on inspiring fellow creatives to explore the world and create passionately.

We caught up with the 27-year-old to talk about his latest travels, inspirations, photography, music and, of course, his choice in audio equipment.

MIGHTYKILLERS is a creative brand focusing on empowering the community through our products and visuals.

How did it all get started?

All throughout middle school and high school, and then into college, I delved delved into the idea of starting my own clothing line. I was big into fashion, streetwear and culture growing up. And I’ve always been a huge hobbyist of photography so everything just kind of came together naturally for me. The brand really focuses on apparel and photography, each of them go hand in hand. Last year, we hit the ground running with the brand. Got really involved with our community. Today, we are recognized as a creative brand in the photo community and have been able to take our craft and travel the world, and share with the world.

What have been the biggest challenges?

Coming up with a team of creative individuals who share the same passion was tough. When I realized there was only so much that I could do with this brand on my own, I decided to reach out and conduct a team, but that was challenging. Finding creatives who are on the same page as me wasn’t easy. I’ve learned that when you decide to work with others, everyone needs to have the same drive to execute with your best potential. If one doesn’t have that drive, it really throws off the entire team; I can’t have that.

What are the inspirations for the site/store?

The world around us. As cliche and plain as that sounds, it’s what really drives the brand. Traveling the world is something I really enjoy doing, and when you have the opportunities to go from corner to corner of the world, you learn so much from each destination. I do my best in blending my love for good minimalistic design and moody photos to create a solid foundation of what represents me. The team I have working with me now all compliment my work, as my work does theirs. It’s awesome.

What’s your next adventure?

I recently just got back from a tour around the southern corners of Utah, passing through Arizona. It was awesome seeing so many canyons and arches formed by years and years of Mother Nature’s work. My next visit is definitely opposite of all this, chasing snow at Glacier National Park in Montana. Planning to spend a week out in the cold.

Why do you enjoy most about your photography?

The fact that I am freezing moments in time as it happens in my life time. I love being able to look back at all these photos and reliving the moments. Think about how many memories we simply forget because we don’t have a photo to bring that memory out? It’s sad… People say they like to live in the moment rather than taking photos but for me, I like to live in the moment and capture it so that I can live in it forever.

What equipment do you use for photography?

Sony A7II mounted with a Voigtlander 21mm f/1.8 and a Canon 85mm f/1.2L

What is in your bag when you travel?

Camera equipment, candy, external batteries and of course, my Klipsch R6i headphones.

Why did you buy the Klipsch R6i in-ear headphones?

I wanted a good set of in-ear headphones that I can pack and travel with. It’s tough finding the perfect set of headphones because each earpiece fits differently depending on the person. The R6i earbuds and my ears were a match made in heaven. Not to mention, the remote + mic is always handy.

How would you describe their sound?

The best. I love a ton of bass, so it amazes me how much you packed into these small buds.

What does quality sound mean to you?

It’s everything. Music is such a big part of my life so it goes without saying that if I cannot listen to music as the artist intended then I don’t want to hear it. It’s like listening to someones music for the first time on shitty speakers or headphones… Your first impression of their music is obviously not going to be a good one because of the sound quality… So good sound quality is a must.

What was the first album you bought with your own money?

Man, I have no shame in saying that it was Backstreet Boys first album in ‘96. I remember getting my very own Sony walkman CD player and that was one of the first CD’s that I ever purchased. I believe I was around 7 or 8 years old at that time.

What are your musical tastes and who inspired them?

I have a super diverse music library. I listen to just about anything and everything. It all depends on my mood and what I am doing. However, for as long as I can remember, Jun Seba, aka Nujabes has been one of the most influential artists for me. He passed away in 2010 and it is definitely sad thinking that I will never hear a new Nujabes song again.

What song are you playing on repeat right now?

That’s tough question…Lately, I’ve had DJ Okawari and Taku playing all day long.

So, what does the future hold for MIGHTYKILLERS?

What doesn’t it hold? In the times ahead of us, the possibilities are endless.

"Press Record" is an on-going interview series with interesting people across the globe that just happen to use and love Klipsch speakers and headphones.

    Last year a regular customer at the cattery confirmed their summer booking and caught me on the hop. Could their 15-year-old daughter spend her work experience week with me? I’ll be honest. I wanted to say “NO!”...

Southern soccer falls 2-1 to Northwest Missouri on Senior Day - KOAM TV 7

Southern soccer falls 2-1 to Northwest Missouri on Senior Day

JOPLIN - Despite taking an early lead, the Missouri Southern Lions soccer team fell 2-1 this afternoon to Northwest Missouri on Senior Day at Fred G. Hughes Stadium.

Southern (4-8-4, 3-5-3 MIAA) took an early lead in the match thanks to a goal by senior forward Kelly White as she found the back of net for her first goal of the year in the 11th minute. After a corner kick from sophomore forward Kimmy Hulse that deflected off a Bearcat defender, the ball found its way to sophomore defenderMichaela Altvater who passed it to White who booted it in from ten yards out on the right side that found the back left corner of the net.

The Bearcats (5-11-2, 3-7-1) tied the match up at one in the 40th minute as junior forward Elizabeth Walde took advantage of a slip by a Southern defender to find the back left corner of the net from seven yards out. With the match knotted at one at halftime, the Lions honored this year's six seniors for their many contributions to the soccer program. Seniors Abby Risner, Tiffany Laughlin, Dana Wilhelm, Samantha Zoltanksi and White all played their final games at Southern.

With strong goalkeeping being the theme of the second half, neither side looked like it would score in the period and the match was headed for overtime. Unfortunately for the Lions, Northwest was able to capitalize on a scoring chance in the 88th minute as Walde notched her second goal of the game from three yards out that went just under Risner's outstretched arms. The Bearcats held off the Lions the final two minutes to steal the win.

Northwest outshot Southern 14-12, but each side had 10 shots on goal. Laughlin led the attack with four shots, while White added three, all on goal. Risner made eight saves in the match as she finishes the year with 40 saves and a .784 save percentage.

With the loss, the Lions finish in a tie for 9th place in the MIAA with Fort Hays State wrapping up the season 4-8-4 overall, 3-5-3 in the MIAA.

30 day Bodyrock challenge - almost to the finish line!

Good morning!

It's a wonderful Saturday morning of the long weekend (here in Canada) and I've had my breakfast and my 2 cups of coffee. I can't believe that it's almost the end of the 30 day challenge! It feels like we just started it.

Once week 4 is over I'm going to continue doing ZWOW's since I was having really good results from them. I find if I don't have a schedule it takes me a really long time to choose a workout. So I like doing these 30 day challenges or doing the ZWOWs in order so I don't have to go through and find one I like.

I took 2 rest days this week - Monday and Friday. I don't really schedule rest days anymore. I used to do Friday and Sunday but then I started getting busy during the week and would end up missing workouts. So now I just workout every day possible (unless I'm sick or drained) in case I end up having to take a rest day. This seems to be working out good for me.

I also switched my banana and almond butter for Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries this week. So far I haven't really noticed a difference. Going to give it another week before I add them back in to alternate days. Maybe I just need to stop eating the same thing every day lol.

I eat a lot of the same stuff because it's just easier for me - no brain work. And I actually enjoy what I eat. So far I haven't grown tired of it which is funny because I used to hate eating the same things over and over.

Alright, I'm off to change into my workout clothes and smash out Week 3 Day 5 from the challenge.

Have a great weekend!

-- Kelsey

A 57-year-old woman has died after she was blown over by a jet blast and hit her head at Maho Beach, on the Dutch Caribbean territory island of Sint Maarten.

A local official said that the woman was standing near a fence when she was knocked over by the blast from a departing plane.

The area is a popular tourist spot, with temperatures for July comfortably hitting the high twenties mark, and is also in close proximity to the airport.

Hundreds gather each day to feel the full force of jet engines as they roar little over head height to come into land, or take off.

Yet, sadly, it comes with danger and warnings, with the strong blasts capable of knocking people off their feet.

Credit: PA

Roland Brison, director of tourism for the island, which is divided between France and Holland, said the woman was from New Zealand.

He told the New Zealand Herald: "I met with the family of the deceased... and while they recognised that what they did was wrong, through the clearly visible danger signs, they regret that risk they took turned out in the worst possible way.

"At this time I only wish to express my deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones while we continue to investigate what transpired just hours ago."

Credit: PA

The paper reported that the woman was holding onto the fence when a Boeing 737 took off for Trinidad on Wednesday.

She and others were blown backwards, causing her to fall and hit her head on the pavement.

Aviation experts, such as Peter Clarke, have warned of the obvious dangers, with videos emerging each and every year of tourists being blown over by the force.

Credit: PA

He told the newspaper: "People know the dangers. It would pick you up like a piece of paper."

Many on social media were quick to show the dangers, and question why tourists are even allowed to stand so close.

The beach even has its own webcam with a focused sight on the airport, so, even if you're not there, yet want the thrill of watching a jet plane coming into land, there's a safer way to view it.

Short shorts and set stalkers

Lainey Posted by Lainey at August 24, 2009 08:00:19 August 24, 2009 08:00:19

It was a quiet Twilight weekend in Vancouver – with paps buzzing around and fans on the stalk, most cast members remained hidden, a few popping out only for brief outings, while the Big Three are now increasingly reluctant to roam around alone and unprotected. You would be too if you had to deal with lunatics who would do anything to get close to you.

But first…

Great legs.

Nikki Reed yesterday out for a walk with Elizabeth Reaser – damn, has she always had legs like this? Am puzzled by the footwear. Am very curious to know whose dance moves she’s mocking.

Last week was light for both as neither was required on set. Director David Slade tweeted that week 1 was supposed to be the most challenging and that newcomer Xavier Samuel did a great job.

Indeed I’m told exclusively that Xavier was on set on Friday night in New Westminister for a scene involving “Riley” trying to rein in his misbehaving newborn children, oblivious to certain members of the Volturi, led by Dakota Fanning’s “Jane” and her companion “Alec” who were silently observing.

Many fans showed up on set including a few regulars who follow from location to location because…

I don’t know how to complete the rest of that sentence.

In all fairness though, most of them seem to be able to maintain their sanity and do not attempt to strangle the actors.

Needless to say, production is quite wary of the travelling band of Twi-Hards who show up every day. And of course they’re not thrilled about the pap presence either.

One woman in particular however has made herself terribly unwelcome – more so than any other fan or photographer. Known to security for her overzealous attempts at ingratiating herself with production, she apparently became irate and hysterical when rejected, and I’m told that last Spring, during filming for New Moon, she tried to convince the crew that her daughter was suffering from a terminal illness in a desperate bid to get close to the cast. Needless to say, they didn’t believe her.

She claims to be a local Twilight expert and is trying to profit from it. Have already heard from a few of you who’ve walked away bitterly disappointed, and more than a little disturbed and frightened. Every day Twi-Hard tourists are flying in to Vancouver. Be careful where you spend your money.

Top Gun 2 and a new girl for Tom?

Lainey Posted by Lainey at April 17, 2014 15:28:38 April 17, 2014 15:28:38

Earlier this week, ScreenRant posted an article about the proposed Top Gun sequel and a possible plot:

He’s the grizzled veteran in a world where pilots are dinosaurs. But wait! Can computers really fly planes and out-maneuver the bogeys? Of course not. Because if that were the case, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell wouldn’t be called back in to action to mentor some young bucks.

I don’t care what the story is. I just want Tom Cruise Jr, aka Taylor Lautner, to play the son-mentee.

In other Tom Cruise news, Page Six’s Richard Johnson says he’s dating Laura Prepon. The hookup was initially reported by GRAZIA in the UK a few month ago – not exactly the most reliable publication. Johnson says his sources however confirm that Tom and Laura are being super undercover about their love. I don’t even know what that means. When has Tom Cruise ever been super undercover about his loves? Unless of course he wants to time it to the release of Edge Of Tomorrow (June 6).

Prepon is also a Scientologist. Cruise’s marriages supposedly fell apart because of his religion. So, if this is true, at least that won’t be a problem. They can Xenu worship together without conflict. They can go to John Travolta’s house for dinner and not be weirded out by that thing that he grows on his chin. IF this is true.

Lucius Gahagan c.1780-1866

Lucius Gahagan c.1780-1866

Price: Email Inquiry

Ask a question about this item

Head and shoulders portrait a l’antique of King George III as “Pater Patriae” (“Father of his Country”) on a socle

Black coloured cast plaster height 25 inches (including original integrated socle)

Signed, “L. Gahagan fecit” and further inscribed “& publish/ June 1st 1809 / no.12/ Cleveland Street / Fitzroy Square” on the reverse, and inscribed “Pater Patriae” on the front of the socle.

Lucius Gahagan (originally Geoghegan: his father anglicised his name when he moved to London from Dublin) was the son and pupil of Lawrence Gahagan (b. circa.1736 – d.1820), the distinguished Irish sculptor in marble and bronze. He was born about 1785, and worked in London, Dublin and Bath, where he lived from 1820 until his death in a house called “Lo Studio”. Much of his work was in collaboration with his father. Where, as frequently, it is signed “L.Gahagan” it is virtually impossible accurately to identify each’s work from the other. Several other brothers were also involved in the family sculpture studio in London.

Their patronage was at an exalted level and achieved a widespread popularity from casts done from terracotta models like the present example. Few examples of their work in the softer materials survive, despite a prolific output, thought the bronzes and marble sculptures are to be found in various museums and churches.

Fleshlight modifications

Is it better fleshlight modifications than the real thing. The molded sleeve comes housed in an attractive and sturdy canister that resembles an ordinary flashlight, allowing for simple and discreet storage. Sex takes the best ploys and gambits from real-time strategy and the heart-stopping action of a first-person shooter and mashes it all into a seamless multiplayer experience. But the tool got relegated to the underground once it started showing up in pornography from the 1940s fleshlight modifications on. The 12 and 13 mm diameter canal is textured for maximum stimulation. Each Lia Fleshlight Insert is made from her actual vagina and our customers loves its favorite texture – the Wonder Wave. And an everyday Joe in my book is somebody whos just a good guy, Fleshlight modifications and a good contributor to society, and they deserve more. Fleshlight modifications monday rolled around and slob sat down at his computer to do whatever. Just A bit of its history. And so with that analogy. There is a cap on the bottom, which you can adjust to assist plain suction and collect your sperm after you cum. Or you can make bath time lots of fun when you use the I Rub My Duckie $14 95 and yes, its water-safe. The Fleshlights are today fleshlight modifications the most popular sex product in the world. I dont know that guy. One Thursday night, after coming home to a trashed apartment, and a note that said he wouldnt be back until Monday, we had enough. Two theories exist as to the origin of the word dildo it either comes from the Italian dilleto, which means to take delight in, or the Latin dilatare, to open wide. If you let fleshlight modifications yourself become enslaved to a sexual high, you will find that you need to go to increasingly extreme acts to maintain the same degree of excitement, the site says.

COLUMN: There is no glory in living a postponed life

-A A +A
By George Smith

When I move.

When I retire.

There are many who do what I call “postponed living.”

Steven Grellet, a French Quaker who lived in New Jersey in the mid 1800s, said, “I shall pass through this world but once and any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show any human being, let me do it now and not defer it – for I shall not pass this way again.”

Grellet was correct. We get only one shot at life. What we are going to do, we had better do it now and not postpone living.

Political calm is just a click away

-A A +A

Column by Ben Sheroan

By Ben Sheroan

It's less than a week until the election and by now most of you have made up your minds about the major national and state races on the ballot. In fact, by now, many of you probably are ready for the whole thing to be over.

In a nation that prides itself on democracy, self-determination and freedom, why do so many of us get fed up with the campaign process?

I'm convinced the culprit is the frequency, intensity and venum of political ads on television. And I'm not going to deal with it any more.

April 12, 2010 - Posted by Erin in Food and wine

Every two weeks (give or take) for the last couple of years, Jacobo and I have been going to wine tastings at one of our favorite restaurants in Madrid, Rubaiyat. At these tastings we usually try five to six wines, usually all from Spain. Sometimes the wines all come from one bodega or sometimes there is a theme (Riojas, for example), and usually the wine is presented by a sommelier, or an expert from either the bodega or the industry. So I decided that I should share these wines with you since there is so much to discover about Spanish wine, not to mention that you can find many of them in the US at very reasonable prices.

This last week’s tasting was of Gramona wines, a 130 year old bodega located in the Penedès wine region of Barcelona and that is considered the most well known bodega in Spain for cava. What is cava you ask? Well, it’s basically like champagne – the only differences being the place the grapes are grown, the climate, and the grape varietals. The method for making cava, however, is exactly the same as champagne. All of the wines we tried were quite good, my favorite being the fifth – the Gramona Argent. Now let me tease you by telling you about each of them.

    Gessamí 2009. This white wine, made from Muscat, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon blanc grapes, was described as a walk through a garden – the perfect wine for spring. It smells of white flowers and seeded fruit such as apricots. In the mouth there is a balance of sweetness and acidity, which makes it particularly refreshing. This is a wine typically best consumed within a year or so of its vintage.
    Gramona Sauvignon Blanc 2008 has been aged three months in the barrel. It smells of fruit and wood and has a denseness to it that makes it a great pairing with a fatty fish. It would also pair well with shellfish or a salad with tropical fruit. This wine can age up to a couple of years before drinking.
    Gramona Rosado Pinot Noir is a Rosé which has just a tinge of pinkish-brown and is made only using Pinot noir grapes, which is entirely unique to this bodega. It has a strangely familiar scent of sweet red fruit and is creamy in the mouth, with a subtle, light bubble. The wine would pair well with appetizers (think Spanish-style appetizers).
    Gramona Imperial 2006 was voted best cava in Spain for that same year. It smells of toast, cookies, nuts and even a touch of apple and is creamy in the mouth. With its fine bubbles, it is easy to drink. It’s versatile and would go well with lunch or with appetizers.
    Gramona Argent 1998, my favorite, is a cava made with Chardonnay grapes and aged 36 months in the barrel. It’s a wine with more volume in the mouth and flavors of toasted hazelnut (which I love!), bread crust, and pastry. Like the others, it would pair well with appetizers, or in my opinion, nothing at all – I could be perfectly happy drinking it all night long just by itself!
    Vi de gel Gewürztraminer, our final wine, is an ice wine made with 100% Gewürztraminer grapes. An ice wine is a dessert wine made from grapes that are still frozen on the vine. The idea is that the grapes are full of frozen water, but the sugars and other solids remain unfrozen so that when the grapes are pressed you end up with a more concentrated amount of sweet wine. This wine in particular smells of flowers and honey. With a nice balance of sweetness and acidity, it would pair well with a blue cheese, foie gras, or chocolate cake (oh that sounds just horrible doesn’t it!?!!).

Now, don’t you think it’s time to try some Spanish wine?

CBD Skin Care, Topicals And Lotions

With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within skin care products.

Cannabis topicals come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. Topicals have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.

CBD Skin Care Lotion in Boise

Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.

CBD Skin Care Topicals are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated. External options make a fantastic compromise.

It’s also worth noting that Hemp Genix CBD Skin Care products are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It’s worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.

That said, CBD and CBN can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They’re also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Skin Care Lotions contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. Hemp has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.

CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They’ll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. Of course, they also allow highly specific use of CBD. It’s not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD oil Skin Care in Boise become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn’t keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it’s hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD Skin Care thus far.

THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. It has been shown to help prevent pain, anxiety, and even nausea. It also happens to be legal when extracted from industrial hemp. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Skin Care Lotion in Boise , but it’s clear that we’re many steps closer than ever before.

Cosmetics have been in use since ages for improving the appearance of the person wearing them. Beauty cosmetics can make a drastic change in a person's features, as they enhance the best features and cover the blemishes.

People use lotions and creams to cleanse the skin deeply. This is not possible with regular soap and water. Deep cleansing opens the skin pores and removes other underlying pollutants. Blocked pores lead to the formation of acne and beauty cosmetics prevent this from happening.

At the same time, we cannot remove some imperfections so easily. Blemishes and dark spots are very common on most people's skin. The use of makeup, such as a good concealer can effectively cover up the imperfection. This results in a skin, which looks flawless. Makeup foundation is very useful in covering up imperfections, while giving the skin a smooth finish at the same time.

Makeup is a branch of cosmetics that deals with colored products that beautify a person's features or occasionally change them, such as in theatre. Different makeup is available for different parts of the face. However, sometimes, an alternative product provides the same effect. For example, a woman may use lipstick in place of blush to obtain a better definition of the cheeks.

Eye makeup is a very important part in any type of makeup. Highlighting the eyes is often the only cosmetic procedure followed by women. This is especially true for women, who lead busy lives. Defining the eyes alone can lighten up the face.

Eye makeup products include mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow. Occasionally, women also use makeup on their eyebrows. People use mascara to lengthen and give volume to their eyelashes. Eyeliner, on the other hand, defines the shape of the eyes. Eye shadow puts emphasis on the eyelids. Defining eyebrows usually utilizes an eyebrow pencil. The entire idea of eye makeup rests on the premise that larger eyes make the person look more youthful.

Lipstick defines the shape and the volume of the lips and a lip plumper gives an illusion of more volume. Powder works like a concealer, except that it might also give the person a fairer appearance. Other beauty cosmetics include nail polish, blush, and rouge and so on.

People use makeup, because it gives them a better appearance than natural. This increases their confidence and allows them to carry themselves confidently.

Makeup is safe as long as one applies it safely. Especially with eye makeup, one needs to take great care, as eyes are extremely delicate and sensitive. As long as the application is right and the product is safe, the user will not have any problems with makeup.

Thus, cosmetics are an important part of a modern person's life, as it gives him/her a safe alternative to surgery in order to enhance the facial features. With the application of cosmetics, one can easily achieve smooth features and thus, feel more confident in every sphere of life.

The anti aging skin care Industry spends millions on researching miracle creams and telling us about them. All a bit confusing isn't it? Those high tech ingredients make it sound like a chemistry class.

Women of 60 and over have different skin care needs to younger women.

The most important of those needs is hydration. We can achieve softer, more supple skin by using every available method of moisturizing the skin from inside and out. Probably the most important aspect in maintaining the health of our bodies is maintaining moisture content. We can survive weeks without food but merely days without water!

Dermatologists tell us that the aging process begins almost unbelievably at the age of 20! It is no wonder then, that at the age of 60 there may be some unwelcome changes. Without giving you a biology lesson, I shall briefly explain the structure of facial skin and the changes that take place. By understanding these facts it will be clear why miracle creams however expensive are not the answer.

The uppermost layer (the one everyone sees) is the Epidermis, cells produced at the base of this layer take up to thirty days to reach the surface and should be plump and full of moisture. The next layer down is the Dermis, where we find Collagen and Elastin responsible for supporting and plumping the skin giving it strength, resilience and the ability to stretch but importantly the ability to prevent sagging. The subcutaneous layer is below that and is mostly fatty content but vital for maintaining facial contours.

What happens...?

As you might imagine, taking moisture out of the equation results in; slowing down of cell replacement, surface cells become jaded and dry, the skin looks thinner and pallid. Collagen and Elastin production is also reduced causing loss of support, elasticity and eventually leading to sagging!! Without the fatty content of the subcutaneous layer the overall effect is flatter, thinner, dry and tending to wrinkles.

In essence the message is to hydrate the skin both internally and externally!

Water intake during the day is vital not only for all the bodily functions but also for maintaining the largest of the body's organs, the skin. Test the skin on the back of your hand by pinching it together for a moment. If it springs back into place you are sufficiently hydrated. If the skin is slow to return to it's flat position your skin and you are somewhat dehydrated. Drink more plain water and less coffee, tea and alcohol as these dehydrate.

Your skin care should place importance on cleansing thoroughly day and night and peeling to remove old dried cells from the skin surface. Your day and night skin care products can then be absorbed optimally. Anti aging serums used daily provide moisture and assist the skin in preventing moisture loss.

A healthy nights sleep is important as the skin is in repair mode at night. Treat your skin to a sumptuous anti aging balm or night cream that will hydrate, feed and plump up your skin whilst you sleep. Wake up to a new, fresh, more supple skin. Use the daytime to get some fresh air and regular light exercise and your skin will thank you by displaying a healthy colour.

The best news is that there are a host of remarkable anti aging skin care products on the market, in all categories and price ranges. They do not have to be expensive but they do have to be used regularly. Choose the right combination and you could achieve better hydration, rejuvenate skin cell production and reduce appearance of lines and wrinkles.

In our constant treks down the aisles of the cosmetics centers searching for what has to be the best collagen firming lotions you would think that we would have learned over the years that what the cosmetics companies tell us about the effectiveness of their products is not always true.

When in all of your different purchases have you ever found a firming lotion that lived up to the promises that the company had made?

Every major cosmetics company in the industry flood the advertising market every year in an attempt to convince you that they have just produced what are without a doubt the best collagen firming lotions that the world has ever seen.

However the truth about the products that they are manufacturing is very different from the claims that they constantly make.

All that you have to do in order to be able to tell whether or not a company's new firming lotion is going to do you any good is read the ingredients label.

You can even compare the new products label with the label that is on the last anti aging product that you bought from the company. I guarantee you that for the most part these labels will list the exact same ingredients.

What these major corporations typically claim to be their best collagen firming lotions are products that hardly deserve to be in that category. What you will generally find are ingredients that won't help the appearance of your skin such as collagen and elastin, which both are two molecularly dense for the skin to be able to absorb them efficiently.

Those are by far not the worst things that you will find in the average firming lotion though. You also have to take into consideration when choosing a cosmetics product whether it is full of chemical additive, and preservative.

Most of the products that come from the major cosmetics companies contain these types of harmful ingredients, and you want to avoid absorbing these into your body at all costs.

The best collagen firming lotions will not contain the hazardous neurotoxins and carcinogens that the best selling products contain. Instead what you will have is nothing more than simple, healthy, all natural ingredients.

These are the most effective ingredients that you can use for treating your skin care problems, and if you should so happen to choose the right products you could find out that you have in your hand the power to turn back the clock.

The best all natural firming lotion comes to you by way of New Zealand, and these are the people that have discovered that through using natural ingredients that they call Functional Keratin and Phytessence Wakame you can erase the lines and wrinkles on your skin that you currently have.

These two ingredients greatly increase the amount of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that your body is producing.

This company has without a doubt the best collagen firming lotions that are available to you, and you should really think about giving them a try.

To learn more about the skin care products I personally use that contain Phytessence Wakame and Functional Keratin, visit my website today.
