Two Fabulous Eyeliner Pencils: Kiko & Vincent Longo

I've added two eyeliner pencils to the overflowing cups on the vintage tea cart that holds most of my eye brushes and eyeliners (easy to move around as needed). The Vincent Longo was a press sample that quickly became my current favorite brown eyeliner (Vincent Longo Pro-Waterproof Eye Pencil in Cacao, $22, at Nordstrom, Dermstore and other online sources). You can't beat anything waterproof on a NYC summer (as I've discovered yet again when a favorite black pencil, Lancome, I think, migrated south south south...). Thus, a creamy, almost gel-like that's kind to the waterline yet stays where it should once set really saves my face. The medium brown color is easy to wear, does its job and looks less harsh than black, especially in strong sunlight. Definitely a winner.

I had to use the flash on this Kiko pencil swatch so I can show you just how metallic it is.

Then we have the last item I picked at the Kiko Milano store in the Garden State Plaza. Kiko Glamorous Eye Pencil #409, a metallic ocean blue color. This pencil goes on like a true gel, and is incredibly soft. It's smudgeable, and doesn't fully set, so I use it more as an eye shadow-enhancement or even set it with a tiny amount of translucent powder, but it's incredibly gorgeous so I can't keep it aside waiting for cooler and dryer weather. You must use a primer and remember not to rub your eyes, but it's kind of worth it for the color. The pencil is made in Germany (almost all other Kiko products are made in Italy, so this is an exception) and contains carmine. I still can't tell you how much it costs since as you may remember, I put the receipt aside so I can blog about it and promptly forgot where it is. Somewhere between a song and a peanut, I'm guessing, which is a good thing considering performance. Also:  as with all shimmer pencils, I wouldn't use it on the waterline.

  1. I love the idea of the tea cart!

    You know, as many times as I have sucumbed to kiko I think I only own one pencil of their permanent range, the Teddy dupe. It seems that I need to remedy that!

  2. Kiko is such a fantastic company, I love their stuff! I have a particular fondness for their eyeshadow pencils - that really do not budge. And did you see their groovy 'James Bond' lipstick cases that you have to push from the top to unclick and make the lipstick bit drop out so you can use it. For a fiver! Fabulous.

  3. For what it's worth, Kiko has a website - it's in Italian and you can't order to the USA, but you can see their product lineup and prices (in Euros).

  4. The more I hear about Kiko - the more intrigued I am. This blue is so perfect for summer paired with bronze and beige shadows. :)

New Series! 650,000 Hours

A digital series on travel, giving back, and making the most of our limited time on Earth. DEBUTING IN 2019!

650,000 Hours is based on a simple premise: The average human life lasts 650,000 hours. How will you spend yours? To answer that, host Ken Budd will journey across America on a wisdom-seeking road trip, meeting real-life who are transforming heroes who are transforming communities and changing lives, and who have must-know insights on maximizing our time on Earth.

Ken Budd is author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, which share his unforgettable search for meaning as a volunteer in New Orleans, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Palestine, and Kenya. Critics have called The Voluntourist “extremely funny,” “deeply moving,” and “like Mother Teresa meets Groucho Marx.” Ken has appeared on such shows as NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning, and has written for The New York Times, National Geographic Traveler,, Smithsonian, The Washington Post, AARP The Magazine, and many more.

ABOUT “650,000 Hours”

In 2009, when Ken was volunteering in Ecuador, he met a British scientist named Ann. A few years before she became a globetrotting researcher, Ann had worked as an office manager for a government contractor. She’d always been interested in science, and then she read Bill Bryson’s book, A Short History of Nearly Everything. On page two, Bryson states that a long human life only lasts about 650,000 hours. That number shook her. One day she was in a meeting, and she looked around the room, and she thought (in a very English way): Why am I giving you lot one of my hours? So she went back to school, she studied ecology and wildlife conservation, and now here she was, romping around the rainforest, all because of that number—650,000 hours.

650,000 Hours is produced by Creative Strategies Media, Spark Media, and Buddster, LLC.

CSI and Other News

So on E! earlier this week Kristin said that Jorja (Sara Sidle) was not returning to CSI. Knowing the season ending cliff hanger from last year, I didn't watch last night because I didn't want to get all emotional and cry about Sara dying. I just read the Episode Guide for last night's show - SPOILER ALERT - Sara didn't die... so now I need to watch that show! BLAH (I probably wouldn't have watched anyway because we were in bed by 8:30). If you watched the show - let me know what you thought of it.

Doug is sick. Poor guy really doesn't feel great and is being a real trooper!

I had a flat tire when I went to go to the gym at 5:20 this morning. I decided to crawl back into bed with my hubby - but even sick he was my Knight in Shining Armor and got up and filled up my tire. So I was able to make my class.

After a 90 minute meeting I headed to the Exxon near work and they fixed my tire in 5 minutes - literally! It was awesome.

Big weekend coming up! Aubrey's first dance class, a birthday party, Orioles are playing the Yankees and we will be there. PLUS Aubrey's 5th or 6 th birthday party to celebrate her turning 3. The child is going to be SOOO confused about what a birthday is!

I will of course keep you all bored to death with the details :)

10/4 Update: Just watched last week's CSI... craziness. But really good. And I am glad I waited until tonight to watch - now I only have 20 minutes to see what happens next - not a week -HA!

Thanks for ruining it for me!! I was hoping that it would be on demand - our tivo should be operational by next week!

Trial lawyers specializing in personal injury and civil litigation

Insurer loses notice battle with municipality

Great Northern Insurance Company insured the Rivers Edge Community Credit Union and had to pay to clean up the office after a sewer back-up occurred in the City of Allen Park on June 22, 2009.  Great Northern wrtote to the "Wayne County Drain Commission," an entity that doesn't exist, at the Department of Environment, to give it written notice of the insurer's subrogation claim.  A paralegal wrote back, providing a claim form and informing Great Northern that it was required to file the form within 45 days of the damage being suffered.  The insurer didn't comply until several months later.  When the claim was denied for non-compliance with the statutory notice provision, Great Northern sued.  It alleged "substantial compliance" with the notice provision and a lack of prejudice to the municipality. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision and dismissed the insurer's claim.  It pointed out that under recent decisions of the Republican Michigan Supreme Court majority, the government need not prove prejudice resulting from the lack of notice and substantial compliance wasn't adequate:  a notice which does not comply with all of the statutory notice terms bars any recovery.  This notice provision has barred any number of individual injury claimants since the Republican justices changed the standard:  this time an insurer was "hoisted by its own petard" as the insurers' judicial friends were forced to interpret the notice provision on a consistent basis and against the insurer's interest.

6 Ways to Prepare for a Thriving VBAC

I am very open and honest about my first birth experience and how it was NOT at all what I wanted, prepared or planned for. While I knew that "special circumstances" could arise (especially with twins) and had said the affirmation over and over, I still hoped I wouldn't have go through a C-section, but I did.

Thankfully, with Dude, I was dedicated to making all my birth dreams come true. Starting with of course, him coming out of my lady parts. And that is exactly what he did. He was my birth dream come true (in terms of goals. Trust, it was no walk on the beach...unless your version of the beach is a lot of vomit). I successfully had the unmedicated VBAC I had set out to achieve.

What is a VBAC you ask?

VBAC stands for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. While I thought this was no big thang, I was in fact quite wrong. Maybe this was because whenever I talked about my next birth being totally different people "seemed" supportive. Maybe it was because I had laser-beam focus and was so committed to a natural, vaginal birth that I didn't realize that people weren't all that supportive. Whatever it was, it was not an easy task to find a doctor to take me on the first time around.

I had reached out to a number of local doctors and was denied by all of them, apparently having a VBAC was not an option in my "rural" community.

I was incredibly upset and thankfully had a locked and loaded birth guru in my corner 24/7, my doula and TW Nic. She hooked me up with some resources to check out (first on the list, ICAN, International Cesarean Awareness Network.) and I eventually found the doctor of my dreams, only a short drive away in San Diego.

After successfully having Dude, I figured I would be like any other pregnant chick and no one would look at me twice when I said I was GOING to have my baby vaginally. Nooooot so much.

I again found myself fighting for the right to birth the baby inside MY body how I wanted. I gave a local doctor a good run in an effort to make it easier on myself and my boys (the appointments in San Diego can be tricky with so many kids not to mention my husband's panic about the hospital being nearly an hour away), but halfway through my pregnancy I realized that it was far more important to be supported unconditionally and went back with my AMAZING Dr. Cap.

So while I am ready for this guy to make his smooth, easy exit from my body in a few short weeks, I also know that not everyone is as lucky as I am when it comes to finding a match to support you and your wishes for birth.

With that said...

Here are my suggestions on how to best prepare for a VBAC -
  • Educate Yourself. Apparently there are some safety concerns surrounding VBACs (this was news to me of course), like uterine rupture. Well, the research indicates that the possibility of that is less than 1%. A risk I am more than willing to take. However, not all women feel the same which is of course understandable. But, take the time to educate yourself with evidence based research and make sure you are confident moving forward in whatever path you choose for you and your baby.
  • Take Classes. As a second time around mommy, I assumed I didn't need any classes besides a little HypnoBirthing refresher. Well, I was wrong. Not only did I freshen up on my Hypno skills but I also took an amazing class designed for VBAC moms. Not only was the class incredibly therapeutic as we connected and shared our stories, but it provided more information to boost my confidence levels even higher. I also took a Labor Comfort Measures class which allowed my TH and I to re-create what we saw for our next experience. The Birth Education Center of San Diego was an excellent resource and Care is an absolute dream!! Now that I am going in again, I didn't take the classes and more centered my mind around what was going to happen and refreshed some of my Hypno skills.
  • Release. I still have some negative memories with the twins birth (back labor nightmare) that sometimes haunts me, but I have to let it go. I try and focus on all the positive things that happened during Dude's labor and imagine that it will be the same...but faster! And he was FAST!
  • Create A New Experience. I am now sending energy to my new experience. I see myself starting to feel surges and welcome them calmly. I let my family know it is time to go, kiss the boys and slowly walk to the car. We make an easy drive to the hospital, I get checked in, relax into my body and my baby...and two minutes later I am engaging in my favorite part of the whole experience...breathing him out and feeling him leave my body along with my purple leg syndrome...
  • Find Support. Every pregnancy is different and every mother requires a different level of support. Since I had found a doctor who I trusted completely I knew the only other birth support person I needed besides my TH was a doula. My doula, Nic. I cannot recommend a doula enough. Granted, I am lucky enough to have a doula wrapped in a bestie, but this service is truly one I wouldn't want to be without. Having someone there to help not only you, but also your partner is huge. Whatever support you feel you need, you should get. It is well worth the investment.
  • Get excited. Every birth is different and should be treated as such. For those of us who desperately want a VBAC (or a second one), this is the time to get super excited. I know I can do this, I've done it before. I know things may arise, but I am choosing to send energy to a smooth/easy birth...did I mention fast too?

Whether or not you want to be a repeat cesarean mommy, have a VBAC or pretend the baby will never come out and do nothing to prepare, just make sure the choice is yours. There is no wrong way to bring a baby from a loving womb into a loving mommy's arms. From my experience, I never want anyone to feel the self-doubt, despair and confusion I did before having Dude. I refused to accept someone telling me what was best for me and my baby.  Remember to trust your body, your instincts and follow your gut. We are strong, powerful Thriving Women who have been given the gift of co-creating, sustaining and delivering HUMAN LIFE. I mean, is there anything more freaking cool than that?! I think not.

I look forward to sharing my birth story in the upcoming weeks as I welcome my last sweet baby boy. I am hoping to help other Thriving Mommies take another look at their birth choices and find the strength I momentarily lost...then got back ten fold when I made that VBAC my b*%@#.

*Here are some additional resources that I found helpful and empowering**

Strive to thrive,

(SOURCE: BUZZ Caribbean) – Buju Banton’s highly anticipated Upside Down 2020 album will be released on June 26.

That’s according to the Gargamel himself who posted a teaser on his Twitter account.

He told fans that the album will be available for pre-order this Friday (June 12). The musical journey that Buju Banton intends to take his listeners on will consist of 20 tracks and will feature collaborations with John Legend,Pharrell Williams, Stefflon Don, and Stephen Marley. Otherwise, it’s sixteen more tracks of just Buju Banton.

Hit singles like Trust, and Steppa also made it on the album.

Last month, in another teaser video, Buju Banton explained why he named his album Upside Down 2020.

“I perceive from what I’ve seen from my emergence as being upside down. In other words, we as people no longer possess things. These things we think we possess, they now possess us.”

He further went on to say many things are not as they ought to be, and “mankind is in a state of disarray”.

His decision to add “2020” to the official album title, also has more meaning that it just representing the year. “2020 has a deeper understanding in my mind. It resonates with a clear vision and seeing things for what it is”, he said.

Upside Down 2020 will be Buju Banton’s 13th studio album, and his first since his release from prison in December 2018.

His last album Before the Dawn released in 2010, won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album one year later.

A very good friend from Hong Kong asked me to give him a hand to achieve his dream to build a Community Bakery in Shenzhen China.
He remembered when he was young the bread stores in Hong Kong giving free bred to the children going out of school every day.
The result is El Cafetin, a minimal and stylish coffee and bakery shop where fresh bread, cookies and cakes are baked every day.
The sound of a bell is today the signal of fresh products coming out of the oven and the community expects it at least three times a day.
El Cafetin will be declined in many other shops in Shenzhen and it’s definitely the best coffee you can have in town.

Default A steam shower feels like 3 things: hot

A steam shower feels like 3 things: hot, humid, and relaxing. You're going to sweat like crazy. If you're a first-timer, expect it to be something like a hot summer in Florida multiplied times 5 and then minus the sun's blinding brightness. The first time I went into a steam shower, it felt like my skin was burning. If I was moving my body at any speed faster than slow-motion, it felt like my skin was burning. It was until I hurried up and sat down that the heat become bearable. I'd also have to advise you to sit farther away from the steam head. Sitting on the lower benches is also a good idea for first-timers since heat rises. As long as you don't move and don't breathe too fast, the burning sensations will stop. From here it will just feel really really hot. You'll begin sweating profusely as your body feels like it's going through a total cleansing from inside-out. You can try to talk but I wouldn't recommend it. Again, you'll feel like you're burning if you try to move. It's not the environment for chatter anyway. Most people are in there for only 10 minutes at a time and they're usually completely silent. I was scared my first time and so I made sure I was never alone or that I always had a friend go with me. The heat can be hard to bear and make you feel like passing out. Like I said before, the heat and humidity is very intense. While sitting inside the steam room, I felt (and looked) like I had ran a marathon. My body was slowly melting down and everything seemed to be going into total shutdown. It was burning but at the same time very relaxing. 10 minutes felt like an hour. As soon as I finally stepped out of the steam room into the cooler air, my body felt completely amazing and rejuvenated. If anything, the steam shower itself seemed to do more for me than the workout. My muscles were loose and relaxed. My breathing seemed deeper and cleaner than ever. I felt completely refresh. Overall, it was scary at first but now I love it. Everytime afterwards, the steam shower doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. Many people from different countries swear by steam showers. They say it has all sorts of medical and therapeutic benefits. For me, it was completely relaxing and definitely helped to heal my tired muscles. The relaxation and stress relief alone was proof enough for me. I recommend you to try it, it's a great experience.

Do you have some tools you want to dump? I might be interested if they are high quality (Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee) I wood work so anything in that department is up my alley. As an example, I just got a nice Makita orbital sander used for $58. I prefer corded (except for drill/impact driver - that should be 18V) but most of my tools are corded.

Bostitch Pneumatic 15.5-Gauge Flooring Stapler-MIIIFS - The Home Depot

If you plan on installing Hardwood floors in the future, I got this thing I do not use anymore and probably a full case+ of 2" staples from friends and family returning unused when returning it. used to do maybe 50 floors or so, had service kit used once on it.

I occasionally am around Hartford area if you do not want to pay for shipping, I'll bring my **** kit.

$200 or trade for whatever, I don't care, hasn't been used in about 5 years. If interested I'll pick up a new seal kit so you can service it before you use it and add that to price.

I also have a couple of stainless steel 8" Tile Speed rigs for large tile floors. it's basically a 3x5 tile grid, you put masking down put grid in place, insurt tiles to same corners, tap down with rubber mallet, pull grid. Tiles will be perfectly spaced and ready for grout once set. These are for two different size 8" tiles, which is why I have 2.

True Lithuania

Lithuanian DPs / Second wave of emigration (~1940s)

As Soviets came to reconquer Lithuania in the 1940s, hundreds of thousands have left everything fleeing westwards, knowing that staying behind would have meant certain death. They became known as the DPs, or Displaced persons.

While far from the largest group of Lithuanian emigrants, the DPs arguably achieved the most. Feeling more like refugees or even exiles rather than emigrants, they created pieces of Lithuania in every country where they emigrated to - in the form of ethnic-styled Lithuanian churches, schools, club buildings, and memorials. Being mostly intellectuals, they created new styles of Lithuanian arts and architecture and developed Lithuanian science at the time Lithuania itself was deeply behind the Iron Curtain. At the same time, they campaigned vigorously for the Western world to support Lithuania.

While some waves of Lithuanian emigration have a somewhat negative image, a DP is often seen as that stereotypical "ideal emigrant" who managed to love and support Lithuania from abroad.

Why did the DPs leave Lithuania ~1940s?

In 1940, Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union started its genocide, which eventually led to murdering and expelling hundreds of thousands. In 1941, Nazi Germany occupied Lithuania, its regime being more lenient, at least for non-Jews.

In 1944, however, Soviet armies approached once again, and, knowing that the Soviet Genocide would return and they would be likely targets, the DPs fled westwards as refugees, hoping to return after the war. Most of them belonged to the groups that were the prime targets of the Soviet Genocide: the religious, the intellectuals, the landowners, the businessmen, those of German or Lutheran ancestry, etc. Having barely survived the first Soviet occupation in 1940-1941, they knew what to expect.

En-route they were also joined by those who had been deported by Nazi Germany to its concentration or labor camps in 1941-1945 and survived the persecutions there. Now free from the clutches of the defeated German Reich, they knew better not to return to Soviet Lithuania where similar or worse fate would have awaited.

All of them desperately tried to reach the parts of Germany occupied by western powers as they knew that the Soviets or Soviet allies would return them to occupied Lithuania or even executed on spot.

Special case: Jewish Holocaust refugees. While the terms "Second Wave" and "DPs" terms are generally reserved for that short and massive wave of 1944 emigration of tens of thousand people desperately trying to flee the advancing Soviet soldiers, for Lithuania's Jews, Nazi German occupation (1941-1944) and its genocide (Holocaust) was more dangerous than the Soviet one. Thus they began fleeing earlier to avoid the Holocaust, sometimes with the help of righteous-among-nations.

Special case: Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor. In most of Lithuania, the Soviet Genocide was not equally dangerous to everyone as certain groups were targetted more than others. In Klaipėda Region, however, everybody was a target for Genocide as this region comprised of Germans and Lithuanian Lutherans, both groups despised by the Soviets. As such, more people have fled the Klaipėda Region ~1944 than the rest of Lithuania put together, and when the Soviets invaded Klaipėda city they found merely ~20 local citizens remaining. Still, Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor emigrants are often not counted to the Second Wave tally due to their cultural differences and the fact this part of Lithuanian history tended to be obscured during the Soviet occupation.

A column of German and Lutheran Lithuanian refugees who attempted to flee the Klaipėda region was overran by Soviet tanks. Such wanton killings (as well as torture and rapes) of the despised Germans and groups perceived to be similar to Germans, e.g. Lutheran Lithuanians, at the hands of conquering Russians were extremely common in the mid-to-late 1940s Europe.

How many people fled Lithuania ~1940s?

Some 60 000 - 80 000 have successfully fled Lithuania-proper in 1944 to be considered the Second-Wave-proper. Additionally, some 30 000 have tried to flee but returned or were forced to return as, for example, the frontline has outpaced them.

Special case: Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor. Additionally, some 170 000 fled the Klaipėda Region, roughly equally divided between ethnic Germans and Lithuanians. Additionally, some 500 000 fled the parts of Lithuania Minor outside the Republic of Lithuania, among them up to several hundred thousands of Lithuanian origins.

Special case: Jewish Holocaust refugees. The exact numbers who managed to flee are unclear but it may be in tens of thousands. Chiyune Sugihara, the consul of Japan in Kaunas, alone saved 6000 Jews by giving them Japanese visas (although some of these Jews were not from Lithuania). These are not included in the Second Wave numbers above.

Where did the DPs fled Lithuania to ~1944

The frantic goal of the Lithuanian refugees was to go anywhere where there were no Soviet troops. Typically they left Lithuania shortly before the Soviet arrival into their Lithuanian homes, and then had to remain on a constant move westwards as Soviets were conquering new and new territories behind them, rendering them unsafe and threatening their lives once again. By December 1944, some half of Poland fell, then in 1945 the remainder of Poland and also East Germany: before each new Soviet conquest, DPs who were taking refuge there had to flee further west. The majority of DPs thus ended up in the zones of Germany that were to be occupied by the Western powers (~65 000), while a minority found their safety in Denmark (~3000), Austria, Norway (~700), Italy (~400), all of which also had never been reached by the Soviet armies.

In these countries, the western powers have established Displaced Person camps. These provided Lithuanians (and other peoples of Eastern Europe with similar fate) modest housing "not any worse than that of locals". Initially, the idea of the great powers was that Lithuanians and others would be relocated back to their homelands after the war ends. Increasingly, however, it became evident that the Soviet Union will continue the occupation of Lithuania and genocide there. Thus, while the Soviet Union demanded the western governments to give up the Lithuanian refugees, the governments of the countries Lithuanians went to did not comply. However, they understood that so many Lithuanians would have nothing to do in war-torn Germany and Western Europe without foreign support, so a permanent solution was needed. Therefore, a plan was devised in 1947-1948 to resettle the Lithuanian refugees to various distant and comparatively rich lands.

The largest number (~29 000) went to the USA, mainly the cities of Northeast and Mid-West (New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia). However, the USA accepted only those Lithuanians who had American citizens guaranteeing for them. Therefore, this option was surely available only for those who had relatives among First Wave Lithuanian migrants. In some cases, though, Lithuanian parishes and clubs in the USA provided such guarantees to the people they didn't know in order to bring as many DPs into the safe USA as possible.

DPs who failed to get guarantees for the US migration would take up the offers by Canadian and Australian governments to get residence permits in exchange for several years of work for their governments in some far-away towns. Some 7700 went to Canada and 5000 went to Australia.

Yet others, following the roads of Lithuanian Interwar Migration, went to South America. Some went to their recently emigrated relatives in Brazil (700) and Argentina (800), while others established entirely new Lithuanian communities in Venezuela (2000) and Colombia (550). Due to worsening economic conditions there, many would have tried to use Latin America as a "trampoline" to eventually move into the USA.

Furthermore, some 12 000 have remained in Western Europe. Only West Germany (~7500), Great Britain (~3000), and France (~550) received large enough communities to be influential.

Special case: Jewish Holocaust refugees. Some Jews also managed to go to Palestine, although immigration there was limited by the British mandate then in power. More of the Jews, therefore, emigrated to the USA.

Special case: Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor. Germany considered people of Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor to be its citizens and thus organized a bit more orderly evacuation to Germany-proper. It was still very dangerous, though, as the Soviets would attack and kill fleeing refugees. Unlike most of the regular DPs, the Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor residents who succeeded to reach Germany-proper would typically stay there after 1948 as well, aided by their knowledge of German language and culture in starting new lives.

How did the Lithuanian DP refugees live after emigrating ~1944?

In some 1944-1948, most still hoped to return to Lithuania once the war ended, believing that independence would be returned to Lithuania. They spent their years in refugee camps re-establishing improvised Lithuanian schools, parishes, and even university there to continue their studies, activities, and relationships as much as possible. This was easier there than any time later, as Lithuanians would typically live in their own camps or sections, next to each other.

Then, they were spread among various countries ~1948 (see above). Not speaking the languages there nor having recognized diplomas, most were underemployed despite being intellectuals. Regarding themselves to be exiles rather than emigrants, they spent a very large share of their lives participating in Lithuanian activities and promoting the support for occupied Lithuania.

They have established the “Global Lithuanian Community” which was essentially a state without territory and every DP Lithuanian was its citizen (some of the first wave emigrant and Interwar emigrants joined the Global Lithuanian Community as well).

The Global Lithuanian Community had not only its leaders and parliament, but also its own school system, the Lithuanian Saturday schools that were created for the next generation of DPs born abroad so they would learn Lithuanian language, culture, and love for Lithuania. Very few of the DPs have married non-Lithuanians, meaning their families were entirely Lithuanian. Many would speak Lithuanian-only to their kids and the kids would learn the other languages only in school.

Where it was possible, DPs joined the Lithuanian parishes established by first wave Lithuanian emigrants, revitalizing them and providing patriotic priests and faithful Lithuanian-speaking nuns. Where such parishes did not exist, they created their own. Where this was mostly impossible (Australia), they created Lithuanian clubs. While during the first wave emigration era, religion and ethnicity seemed to be equally important, for the DP community, ethnicity often seemed more important than faith, and they often rebuilt Lithuanian churches in a more ethnic style to become also shrines for the lost homeland of Lithuania.

A modest Amarican-architect-designed 1923 Dayton Lithuanian church was refurbished into a a modern Lithuanian style by a famous Lithuanian DP designer V. K. Jonynas, adding these stained glass windows in the form of traditional Lithuanian chapel posts, among many other Lithuanian symbols

Initially, DPs who went on some invitations lived in the same towns and districts where the inviters lived. Some of these proved to offer few jobs, so there was a drift to the main cities. Furthermore, after the immigration of the DPs, the USA was ravaged by racial riots (1960s), leading to white flight from many traditionally Lithuanian districts. DPs felt unfairly targetted: themselves being refugees and having had worse experiences in their lives than most African-Americans, they were still treated as "privileged whites" by Civil Rights activists. Nevertheless, most DPs were forced-by-crime to abandon their districts and move to suburbs or other cities. As such, some of the key architectural achievements of the DPs became abandoned or no longer used for the Lithuanian cause. Still, many of their creations survive even if no longer in Lithuanian use; in the countries and cities where racial riots did not take place or did not reach Lithuanian areas (e.g. Canada), more has survived in operation.

Throughout their lives, most DPs considered themselves Lithuanians first and foremost. Even if they eventually naturalized in their new homelands (far from everybody did), they did not really begin considering themselves Americans, Australians, or Canadians. They considered themselves exiles rather than emigrants and such a unique situation led to strongly anti-integration behavior. It was not uncommon, for example, to punish children for speaking English beyond when it was necessary. Some refused to learn the language of the new homeland and even though many did, they still preferred to use the Lithuanian language in as many spheres of life as possible. Not only they would publish Lithuanian books or newspapers and vehemently defend Lithuanian masses in churches, they even published the first world's first Lithuanian language encyclopedia, thus expanding the Lithuanian language into a domain it didn't tap even while Lithuania was free.

For most DPs, every part of their life was permeated by patriotism and consciousness for Lithuania: so, while soldiers have nothing to do with religion, they have to do lots with Lithuania and if the church is Lithuanian, then the image belongs there too

Organizations of Lithuanian scientists and doctors, Lithuanian boy scouts, and even a Lithuanian-American opera were established by the second wavers in order to have all the necessary vestiges of the independent country. In order to help Lithuanians meet there were events such as Lithuanian National Olympiads (competitions of Lithuanian sports clubs from all the nations) or Lithuanian Song Festivals where all the parish choirs would come. Lithuanian social scientists would even research Lithuanian folk culture among Lithuanian emigrants, continuing the researches to begin in independent Lithuania. They would collect the Lithuanian documents of the Americans and those saved from Lithuania into Lithuanian-American archives, they would build museums and galleries for the Lithuanian art.

DP generation had many world-class artists but most of them too stayed with that "Lithuanian nation without territory". Writers and poets wrote in Lithuanian, architects saw Lithuanian clubs and churches abroad as their magnum opuses, and painters who depicted symbolic scenes of Lithuanian past glories and current tragedies rarely attempted to show off their works beyond the Lithuanian community. On the one hand, that gave the Lithuanian diaspora an artistic heritage that is worthy of an entirely independent nation. On the other hand, that meant most artists somewhat faded into obscurity as their works did not get attention outside of the contemporary Lithuanian diaspora. Back in Soviet Lithuania, their works were banned/forgotten and only after the 1990s fully appreciated there. The process of their discovery by non-Lithuanian Americans, Australians, etc. is just beginning. Only in the 2010s, for example, was the most famous Lithuanian diaspora novel translated into English (existentialist "White Shroud" by New York Lithuanian Antanas Škėma about his experience of underemployed DP in New York society; originally published in the USA in Lithuanian language in 1958). Still, some artists managed to successfully combine Lithuanian heritage with other works (Jonas Mekas) or ditched the heritage altogether (George Maciunas), albeit the latter was heavily controversial among the Lithuanian diaspora.

Campaigning for Lithuanian freedom was an important activity for the DP diaspora and while, as the time passed, it became more and more clear the new homelands of the DPs would not send their forces to liberate Lithuania, it was still important to lobby them so they would not recognize the occupation of Lithuania, to remind all the non-Lithuanians about the plight of the Lithuanians so they would support the Lithuanian cause should the opportunity for freedom arise. It was also important to remind their own children and grandchildren of Lithuania and its plight so they would not abandon the struggle in order to simply enjoy their free Western lives. Such campaigns involved lobbying, media interviews, and construction of monuments commemorating the Soviet genocide victims or those who died for Lithuanian freedom.

All in all, a typical DP would often spend most of his free time with other Lithuanians, essentially continuing Lithuania as a "country without territory", its citizens spread across four continents but still having nearly as many relationships with each other as with the outside world despite the fact those were pre-internet days.

Anti-integration attitudes led to some friction between the Second Wave (DPs) and the First Wave of Lithuanian emigrants. To the Second Wavers, the First Wavers were too integrated, forgetful of their Lithuanian ethnicity and history, perhaps due to their lack of education. To the First Wavers, the Second Wavers's (DP's) complete unwillingness to integrate seemed stubborn, while their views towards First Wavers as lesser-educated felt elitist and insulting. The different visions could in part be explained by the fact that the First Wavers were not forced to emigrate in the same way as the DPs were, and so they tended to accept integration more.

For the DPs, though, such integration seemed to be not simply a weakness, it was dangerous. There was always a chance that the Soviets would continue their genocide in Lithuania, that they would murder or exile all Lithuanians and settle Lithuania with Russians. The Lithuanian language and traditions would then disappear in Lithuania itself. In the minds of the DPs it was, therefore, up to the Lithuanians of the "free world" to make sure that, even if that happens, the Lithuanian nation, traditions, and language do not die out. Every child who did not learn Lithuanian, every closed Lithuanian club was making this goal harder.

And then there was a fact that some of the First Wavers became leftists or communists while in America. While the ranks of such communists grew scarcer as the Soviet crimes became better known in the West, the mere fact that there were First wave Lithuanians in America who essentially welcomed the Soviet occupation of Lithuania (which the Second wavers ran for their lives from, which has murdered so many of their friends and relatives) tarnished the reputation of the entire wave deepening the stereotype of a "stupid First Waver" among the DPs.

The DP generation (Second Wave) always dreamed of returning to Lithuania though that dream was growing more and more distant with every year of the Soviet occupation. They campaigned as much as they could to encourage the West to support Lithuania but this support never went beyond diplomatic declarations. When Lithuania did eventually become independent in 1990, most of the DPs were too old or too rooted to actually return. However, some key activists did, becoming influential figures in Lithuanian politics (e.g. president Valdas Adamkus) and the creation of the first western-styled businesses. Others would support reborn Lithuania through charity.

The real "Golden Years" for many Lithuanian DPs instead passed in various American beachside resorts, often selected for their similarity to fabled Lithuania's prime resort of Palanga, the golden dunes of which were etched into the nostalgic collective memory of the DP generation. Such resorts would initially serve as summer retreats for wives and kids in the 1960s when most Western women still did not work, and then would be transformed into permanent residences after retiring age. Resorts such as Beverly Shores (Indiana), Wasaga Beach (Ontario) or St. Pete Beach (Florida) became elderly Lithuanian DP communities. While these people were past their prime age of building massive churches or club palaces, they still managed to create a piece of Lithuania there in a more modest sense through utilitarian Lithuanian clubs or small memorials.

After their deaths, many Lithuanian-Americans opt to be buried under traditional large Lithuanian gravestones, often inscribed with patriotic symbols and quotes pledging allegiance to Lithuania. This was especially common while Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union and the key Lithuanian cemeteries of Chicago and Toronto are treasure troves of this unique form of patriotic art.

Many graves, like this one of Balys Savickas, have Lithuanian patriotic symbols and inscriptions. The inscription on the left grave says ‚After losing my homeland I lived for its freedom and I lived to see it‘, referencing to him dying in 1996 after Lithuanian independence was restored. The inscription on the other side of the same grave adds ‚Such was my fate given to me by the Almighty‘. Symbols on this grave are the Vytis (Lithuanian coat of arms), Cross of Vytis and the Three Crosses memorial, a potent symbol of Vilnius and of Soviet repression as it was demolished by the Soviets and then rebuilt by Lithuanians as independence seemed real

Special case: Jews The DPs who fled the Soviet Genocide and the Lithuanian Jews who fled the Holocaust were bitterly divided and never cooperated. That's because two very different collective memories of World War 2 existed among these communities. Most Lithuanians would remember suffering at the hands of Soviets, often aided by Jewish collaborators. Most Jews, on the other hand, would remember suffering at the hands of Nazi Germany, often aided by Lithuanian collaborators. Both the Lithuanian thought of "Liberation from the Soviets in 1941" and the Jewish thought of "Liberation from Nazi Germany in 1944" seemed radical and hateful to the other community (as what was "liberation" to one community meant genocide to the other). The ethnic Lithuanian and Jewish emigre communities remained separate as Lithuania's Jewish refugees integrated into wider Jewish communities while Lithuanians cooperated more closely with Latvian and Estonian diasporas with whom they shared their fate and the "main enemy". In reality, both collaborations existed, although their memory was blown out of proportion by cognitive bias (as a single collaborator armed by an occupational regime may inflict great damage to hundreds of families, all of which would remember that). Sometimes the Soviet Union sought to use this division for its own favor by trying to wrongfully accuse various key Lithuanian DPs of having been collaborators, expecting that this could induce the Jewish diaspora to attack them and make them lose their credibility as freedom fighters; the fact that some Jews would "take the bait" divided the communities further. The authorities of Western governments (e.g. OSI of the USA) carefully investigated such accusations and founded them to be unfounded in all major cases (although there were a few Lithuanian Nazi collaborators among regular emigrants who were then tried).

This yeshiva sees itself as a continuation of Telšiai yeshiva that was closed by the Soviet regime in 1940 but was reestablished in the USA by some of its rabbis who emigrated. While located not far from Cleveland's Lithuanian club, the two institutions maintain few ties

Special case: Klaipėda Region and Lithuania Minor. Many of these refugees were ethnic Germans or spoke German at near-native levels. Many of them integrated into German society together with other German deportees from the east, though there were exceptions.

How did the DP children and grandchildren live?

The children of the DP generation who grew up in foreign countries were still often very patriotic and considered themselves to be Lithuanians or only Lithuanians. This was instilled in them by the families and Lithuanian Saturday schools. Through Lithuanian summer camps, Lithuanian sports clubs, Lithuanian scouting, and choirs their Lithuanian parents enlisted them to they often lived in "Lithuanian bubbles" created for them.

Hill of Corsses of Dainava

Lithuanian camp Dainava in Michigan, USA and its Hill of Crosses representing the one in Šiauliai, Lithuania. The largest in the Americas, this 91 ha camp is like a calm and pretty Lithuanian park that comes alive in summers when Lithuanian children and parents from all over the USA descend on here to communicate in Lithuanian and/or about Lithuania, encouraged by various programs. Creating such camps was among the main achievements of the DP generation

Still, such a bubble did not cover all the spheres of life. While some of the children were spoken to only in Lithuanian by their parents and grandparents, they quickly picked up the local languages from their peers and generally fared much better in the job market than their parent generation did.

As the DP children grew up and left their parents' homes, they made a choice. Some of them continued their parents' way of being Lithuanians first and foremost, and essentially inherited the Lithuanian parishes, clubs, and other organizations. They would campaign for Lithuanian freedom together with the friends they made back in the Lithuanian schools and camps, speaking Lithuanian among themselves in yet another "bubble".

Others, though, slowly distanced themselves from the Lithuanian life. Even in the teenage years, they may have felt that Lithuanian schools or camps are an uninteresting waste of time. Further on, they would limit their Lithuanian activities to some annual holidays (e.g. Kūčios) together with their parents.

Typically Lithuanians who married other Lithuanians, as well as the ones who had made many Lithuanian friends and lived in cities and districts with many other Lithuanians were more likely to stay within the community. On the contrary, a mixed marriage was often the end of that branch of Lithuanity.

Even more Lithuanians drifted away with the grandsons/granddaughters generation as, by the time it grew up ~1980, Lithuanians no longer lived tightly in the same districts, while some of the final parish schools were replaced by English-speaking public schools. To many Lithuanian children of the era, the only area to make Lithuanian friends and pick up Lithuanian history were the two-week summer camps or Saturday schools.

Still, well into the 1990s-2000s nearly all the DP organizations, schools, and parishes remained viable led by the second generation of leaders. Ironically, the event that arguably hit the most was Lithuanian independence. With Lithuania independent, Lithuanians lost a unifying cause to rally. Those stories of discrimination, persecution, and Soviet Genocide that inspired the Lithuanian-American youth of the 1970s or 1980s to fight against the injustice suddenly felt no longer as important, as the persecutions have ceased. It was no longer *that* crucial to save the Lithuanian language or traditions in the USA, Canada, or Australia, as with the Soviets out, they would be saved in Lithuania itself. It was no longer logical to research Lithuanian traditions or history from the documents available in the "free world" when all the Lithuanian archives became accessible and Lithuania's universities were free. The institutions such as the Lithuanian Opera of Chicago had much less symbolic value when their professional counterparts in Lithuania itself were liberated from the Soviet clutches. Furthermore, some of the most Lithuanian-minded activists of the DP children generation actually moved to Lithuania, "decapitating" some diaspora institutions.

By 2000s-2010s, therefore, some DP organizations folded and some parishes were closed down, while others rely on the aging DP-children generation with few DP-grandchildren or DP-great-grandchildren seriously joining their ranks. The key worldwide or America-wide institutions still survive strongly, somewhat replenished by the post-independence Lithuanian emigrants. With greater mobility, the younger Lithuanian-American DP descendents interested in their heritage would typically drift towards such major institutions rather than smaller-though-closer ones. In many cases, the rule of thumb is that if there were many hundreds or several thousands of DP Lithuanians in some location back ~1950, the Lithuanian life still survives, while if there were only low hundreds or less it likely no longer does.

Some of the grandchildren of the DP would visit Lithuania and restore Lithuanian citizenship and some went back to their roots and learned the language, however, more often than not, there was no longer a large number of Lithuanians in a single place that would allow the language to thrive in America. While the global diaspora events continued, in many cases they were moved to Lithuania, allowing the diaspora to combine the goal of meeting up with the goal of visiting their historic homeland.

What heritage thas the Second Wave Lithuanian emigrants (DPs)left?

Second Wave architects have created a unique Modern Lithuanian style for the Lithuanian churches and club buildings of the time. Even numerous older Lithuanian churches were rebuilt in this style.

Interior of the church

Interior of 1950s Our Lady of Gate of Dawn church in Montreal is full of sombre Lithuanian spirit. A copy of three croses, by then a Soviet-demolished symbiol of Vilnius, is behind the altar, the church is named after the sacred painting in Vilnius, etc.

Many memorials were constructed to commemorate the famous Lithuanians and Lithuanians lost in Soviet atrocities in order to remind people of their new homelands about the plight of Lithuanians.

Many works of fiction and visual arts were created by them.

The Second Wavers (DPs) also created institutions such as Lithuanian archives and museums.

His story is “The Last Train Out”, leaving Kaunas has the Soviets came to reoccupy the country. In fact, Valdas Adamkus was on that train with his mother which my father commandeered to escape the Soviets. My daughter, Jenn Virskus, has written a book about her grandmother Klara who survived the bombing of Dresden. My sister and I were born in a DP camp in southern Germany. We immigrated to the US on a liberty ship, processed through Ellis island, and arrived in Flint Michigan in 1950 where my father could begin his life all over again. I attended places like Dainava, and belongs to scouts, basketball teams, and various are there student groups. I did not marry a Lithuanian, but my wife keeps up the customs during holidays to honor the heritage. All three children have been to Lithuania several times, and all three are now dual citizens. Jenn lived in Vilnius for 6 years and was co-founder of Kalnu Erelai ski club to prepare young skiers for the Olympics. As I stated, the Lithuanian DP story is still being written. I have written a memoire about my father which will be published soon. I intend to bring his ashes from Florida back to Vilkaviskis next year.

  2. My father’s father left Lithuania in 1890, age 20, and immediately made his way to Philadelphia, married and had six children, five BEFORE WW1. I always bragged about him for this, never knowing the horrors he beat by a decade or two, not to mention WWII.

  3. Great read…thanks for sharing!

  4. This article is fascinating. My father was a DP and married a German. They came to US in 1949, being sponsored by an aunt.
    Many things they would not talk about. This information needs to be told. Thank you!

All Done With Preschool

You guys, I have a pre-school graduate!! It's kindergarten or bust next year. I am still in like an awe that Addi finished her first year of schooling. I am so so so proud of her and all the progress that she did. When I asked her if she wanted to take some photos to document her big day, she was all for it. Once we got outside and started talking about being done with school she was not too thrilled. So we had her little graduation ceremony. It was done in her class. It was short and sweet. They sang songs for the parents and I was all smiles the whole time. I didn't even cry! After the graduation we asked her where she wanted to eat and she said "McDonald's", haha! Then she decided on some spaghetti, so Olive Garden for the win! We were so proud of all her work so Spence said she deserved a little bit of spoiling. So Target for the win! We had such a fun time.

Addi had such a great experience with school. I am so happy with her teacher and couldn't thank her enough. I decided I had to get her teacher a gift. I found a really cool idea on pinterest and the coolest mug for her teacher. I will link it at the bottom. Addi was so excited to give her teacher a gift so she insisted on writing a card herself.

Here is a little bit of before and after. Her first day and Last day. Her first day was quick. Spence and I went together to drop her off and she didn't even say bye. She walked right in! I was an emotional wreck that day.

Last day

Mug: Teaching Humans

XO, Rachel

National Hazard Pay Campaign Launches Today As COVID-19 Continues to Threaten and Sicken Thousands of America’s Frontline Workers

September 1, 2020 Updated: September 27, 2020

Coronavirus Masked Grocery Cashier

America’s Largest Food & Retail Union Announces National Hazard Pay Campaign With Actions in 26 Cities and 10 States Targeting Top Grocery Chains

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) – America’s largest food and retail union with 1.3 million members, announced the launch of a new national campaign to restore hazard pay for millions of America’s frontline workers. The new campaign will call on the country’s leading grocery companies — including Whole Foods, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Ahold — and many other essential businesses, to reinstate hazard pay in light of the continuing human cost being paid by America’s grocery workers and other essential employees during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the first phase of the UFCW’s national hazard pay campaign, at least 26 worker actions will be held this week at grocery stores and other essential businesses across the country in CaliforniaTexasGeorgiaVirginiaColorado,WashingtonTennesseeMarylandWestVirginia, and other states hit hard by COVID-19.

The new campaign will include grassroots actions as well as targeted paid and digital media to highlight the serious health threats these workers continue to face. UFCW will connect customers and communities with essential workers to call on these businesses to guarantee hazard pay as long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

UFCW International President Marc Perrone said, “America’s grocery workers are putting their lives on the line every day that they walk into the store, because this pandemic is far from over and the health threats are just as real now as they were when this crisis began. It is outrageous that the CEOs of these companies refuse to restore hazard pay even as more of these workers are getting sick and dying every week. Hazard pay for grocery workers must be reinstated now.”

This past week, UFCW confirmed there have been at least 103 grocery worker deaths and over 14,300 grocery workers infected or exposed to COVID-19. As a new investigation by Bloomberg reported last week, the actual national number of workers who have died, become sick, or been exposed, is likely much higher given that America’s largest food companies have launched an effort to hide the true human cost.

“While top grocery chains rake in billions in profits during this pandemic, these frontline grocery workers continue to put themselves at risk to ensure our families have the food we need. As long as the hazard of COVID-19 continues, these companies must do what is right and provide the hazard pay these grocery workers have earned and deserve,” Perrone added.

During the campaign, the UFCW will be releasing first person testimonials from workers on the frontlines, as well as customers and local community members, calling on these companies to provide hazard pay to all of these essential workers. To view these videos, please click here.

UFCW has been a leading national voice in calling for grocery chains to restore hazard pay for these workers who continue to be on the frontlines of this pandemic.

In a CNN op-ed with Senator Kamala Harris, the union called for top companies like Kroger, Whole Foods, Albertsons and others to ensure that all of their employees receive the hazard pay that they have earned for putting themselves at risk.

Additionally, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown led a group of Senate Democrats in a letter calling on the CEOs of the country’s top supermarket chains to end the delays and reinstate grocery worker hazard pay.

The UFCW is the largest private sector union in the United States, representing 1.3 million professionals and their families in healthcare, grocery stores, meatpacking, food processing, retail shops and other industries. Our members serve our communities in all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. Learn more about the UFCW at

United States Cyber Command was established on 23 June 2009 at the direction of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates as a sub-unified command under U.S. Strategic Command. The Command did not achieve full operational capability on October 31, 2010, nearly four months after General Keith Alexander was approved as Commander on May 21, 2010.

Due in large part to the fact that it uses National Security Agency networks, its headquarters are Fort George G. Meade in Maryland, and all three of its Commanders have also headed the National Security Agency. Both the Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations and Joint Functional Component Command-Network Warfare were absorbed into Cyber Command upon its creation.

The Cyber Command Seal and Badge both prominently display the alphanumeric string “9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a.” On July 8, 2010, a researcher at an anti-virus company announced that the text was actually an MD5 hash that, when decoded, turned out to be Cyber Command’s Mission Statement.

Besides the coded Mission Statement, the other elements found on the Cyber Command badge include an eagle, two crossed swords, a lightning bolt, and a key. The swords are symbolic of the Command’s dual mission of both defensive and offensive operations; the lightning bolt represents the speed at which those operations can be executed in cyberspace; and the key is emblematic of Cyber Command’s linchpin role in national security.

Cyber Command has been the source of some controversy, in part due to the recent proliferations of hacks on both governmental organizations and private enterprises. On a less-consequential note, a 2013 story published in Foreign Policy magazine revealed that General Alexander’s fascination with science fiction in general and Star Trek in particular had inspired him to design a conference room at the Command’s Information Dominance Center to mimic the bridge of the starship Enterprise. After entering through doors that make the familiar whooshing sound made famous on the TV show, Alexander encouraged visiting lawmakers and other officials to sit in the “Captain’s chair” as he used a large view-screen during briefings.

General Alexander announced his retirement from military service in October, 2013 with an effective date of March, 2014. The current head of U.S. Cyber Command is Army General Paul M. Nakasone.

Internet hoaxes existed long before 2013 sex toys, and they’ll continue to dupe the unsuspecting long after the year is done. But as many a pundit has decried already, 2013 marked a sort of zenith for online fakeries. It was the year the media decisively elevated social media phenomena, real or imagined, to the level of actual news..

dog dildo I think the material was comfortable. I didn’t notice much of a smell to i,t but I did notice the box says it’s unscented and body safe. The toy was flexible yet firm. Students are subjected to this fear over and over and over again throughout the school year. Students who have to live everyday with gun violence and gang warfare now have to come to school and experience the anxiety and panic of a lockdown. The blatant and deliberate misunderstanding of the Second Amendment keeps schools inflicting this uniquely American mental torture on exposed students over and over and over again.. dog dildo

dildos Alma. Janine. Dolores. 6 points submitted 4 days agoCorrection it is completely offense less. It is absolutely not defenseless however. Even the unclassified info we have on Airforce One defensive capabilities are way beyond almost every other aircraft in the sky military or otherwise. dildos

wolf dildo Silicone can be cleaned with toy cleaner, soap and water sex toys, or a bleach solution. Since this item is meant to be inserted into the mouth, be sure to rinse any residue thoroughly. You’ll also need to be careful of the leather while cleaning the ball. It’s such a pity that language is so often used when people test/are negative for things, a term I’d suggest you swap out « clean » for. People without certain infections or diseases aren’t automatically « clean » they’re just people who don’t have certain infections and diseases sex toys, or who, in tests, have had negative results when tested for them. How clean or not someone is has nothing to do with this, just like how « dirty » someone is or isn’t.Sure, if we get a wound and don’t tend to it properly sex toys, it will tend to get infected because of bacteria, and would have been less likely to if we cleaned the wound and kept it clean. wolf dildo

vibrators But if we’re consistently backing up with a secondary method, even if our primary one fails, we’re covered. As well, not everyone can use or wants to use a hormonal method: some of us prefer non hormonal methods or those are our only safe or affordable options. While they aren’t as effective in perfect use sex toys, if we add a backup method to the mix, we can be just as protected or even more protected from pregnancy as we could be with a more effective single method.. vibrators

wholesale vibrators I feel bad about this, because I make him worry and he thought that by being with him, and him liking my body, I’d be ok. He’s the only one who really knows the extent of how difficult it is for me to eat, although my mother is aware. She’s overweight herself and I think knows what its like to be so and want to lose weight. wholesale vibrators

wholesale dildos Gallup is in the happy position of talking to a lot of Americans all the time, enabling it to get a good sense of the ebbs and flows of cultural and political attitudes. It also tracks what people are hearing about the presidential campaign from out in the world, dutifully noting whichever Donald Trump misstep or accomplishment is dominating any seven day period. And week after week, writing down the word « email » when Americans are asked what they’re hearing about Hillary Clinton.. wholesale dildos

cheap dildos That solves the laying down problem. But it doesn’t solve the part where I wake up in the middle of the night and have to walk across my cold tile floor to get to the bathroom, and feel like I might as well have walked across an ice rink. I’m visiting my parents right now, and as I type this, my feet are cold through my socks because tile is just so freaking cold and uncomfortable. cheap dildos

cheap dildos It’s a shame, then, that the characters can’t live up to their setting. The problems start with Janni Nemo herself. The daughter of the original Captain Nemo and a pirate queen in her own right, she doesn’t flinch at delivering grisly death to her enemies. cheap dildos

sex toys The bottom line is it’s comfortable and sexy. I suggest if you are a larger bust size, to maybe wear a bra under it to be comfortable. I wish it had more support, but it’s still sexy! If the straps were high quality, I would be in love with this item, but sadly, it will probably stay in the back of my closet.. sex toys

wolf dildo I know this is probably not the healthiest way to cope, but it what I done since I was a teen and old habits die hard. As far as my past goes, it not something I really think about that often sex toys, and definitely not something I talk about with anyone. Not so much because it still affects me, at least not consciously, but more because it uncomfortable to share. wolf dildo

cheap sex toys Okay sex toys, this was long winded and disjointd. Basically, my tip would be that the way to establish boundaries is simply to be completely honest about your feelings. If you’re not comfortable with something sex toys, say so. I’ve been suffering from chronic, nearly constant yeast infections for a year and three months now and I’ve seen two different doctors and my gynecologist about it in that time period, multiple times. I’ve been prescribed oral antibiotics monthly, which only alleviates the problem for a few days. I’ve taken 12 14 rounds of the over the counter stuff, which helped at the beginning cheap sex toys.

Academy Awards: Who Will Win? How Many Will Watch?

The Award Show season is in full swing, and if history runs true to form this Sunday’s telecast of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will be one of most-viewed programs of the year.

Viewership for other major award shows in 2011 has increased from previous years, which might give a boost to this year’s Oscar telecast. Last year, with a shoot-out between Avatar and The Hurt Locker, the Academy Awards captured an audience of 41.7 million viewers – the largest in five years.

“The increased viewership for awards shows coincides with the recent trend towards larger audiences for live events,” said Pat McDonough, Senior Vice President for Insights and Analysis at Nielsen. “Watching live events, such as an award show or sporting event, allows the viewer to feel closer to the action and generates a greater appeal to watch. Moreover, simultaneously using Twitter and other social media to follow the event helps enhance the experience even more.”

Coping With Anxiety

Who turned out not to think about red monkey, when this strong desire? Perhaps somewhere there are people, but they are extremely secretive – they still nobody saw. Viacom often addresses the matter in his writings. Therefore, the Board of "Do not worry, take a hand, the main thing – to want" You do not hear from me. Who do we say "Do not worry?" Right. Madly rushing about the room crazy. We can say to incite, we make all possible contributions. Now imagine the negotiations are at stake – a new post? Or negotiate with influential partners face, or tough negotiations under pressure, a tender for the signing of a one-year contract with a strategic customer – I have listed only the beginning of the grand list of situations where it is necessary cope with the excitement and show the real effective negotiation class. For those who are worried and experiencing in anticipation of difficult negotiations – 5 receptions armored 1 reception armored train like a rhinoceros, review slits badly see. But with his weight and speed – it's not his problem.

To think less of something else, download a process, constantly jump into the engine fuel, focus on tasks. And you will not have time to musolene emotions and experiences. In negotiating the classic Uilyami Urey "Pushing" No "or negotiate with difficult people" is a description of the reception "Climb to the balcony." Negotiator suspended, as if from afar, with high balcony, from which no visible detail and emotion far, sees the situation. In Russian parlance, it is even easier, the people said "I give a damn at this from a high tower." The talks do not need to spit, but the whole idea is correct.
