remember my old post titled: how to make your butt pumpier? that old post is talking about the butt booster band, but now look what I found - the BUTT BRA check it out how it looks:

This one showing the butt bra bikini and butt bra thong.

This is how the butt bra bikini looks like versus the regular bikini,
look at how pumpier the butt with the bra-like strap on instead of without.

And here is showing the bra straps only without thong or bikini underwear on.

Well ladies who really want to put shape one, this bra strap for butt I think is a must have then!
wanna buy or take a look visit here.
here’s some quote:

UNDERWEAR INSTEAD OF SURGERY
Hart challenged herself to create an underwear that could replace the effects of surgery. Searching for the best design idea, she stood in front of the mirror and tried a few options using self-adhesive tape until she found a successful one. Butt bra lifts and holds up the muscles where they need it, Hart explains.

BUTT LIFTING FOR MEN ALSO POSSIBLE
Now, anyone who feels like providing their saggy muscles a put together look can do that. American-based company Hard is an official distributor of butt lifter bras. Ladies can make their posterior look sexier for as cheap as $30. A special offer for men Maniki costs somewhat higher - $40.

just for the fun of it this image I found really resemble bra with all its lacy and straps look it’s just happen to be putt on the butt =p but it’s prettyy!!

read the article from the source: “The bra for your butt“

When I look at MirrorMedia.com and Séura, Inc. producing this cool gadget, I think it’s such a sweet invention to share with, especially if you are an interior design fan, or just a design fan like myself!

It’s basically an LCD TV hidden in the mirror, it’s camouflaging really well so that when it’s not on it’s plainly look just like a mirror, but if you press the on button, then it will start displaying that hidden LCD, it can be for a TV or for a media (as in for computer’s screen)

I find it quite useful if you like a clutter free environment. Because to be honest, TV isn’t an easy item to be incorporated in a good clean-type interor design/staging, especially in a living room that encorporate a fire place to be feature as its focal point.

There’s even another cool TV it’s called a holographic TV look at the picture bellow and for more info read here.

I think this is a necessity for those who love to reads and hate clutters =)
The good thing about it is you can hold so many books but won’t let you have the clutter, especially if you only have a little space to spare. To summarize all the feature in brief I guess pin points will be:

1. Paper-like Screen
2. Wireless Access with Whispernet™ (You won’t get that monthly bill, it’s included)
3. Only 10.3 Ounces
4. Shop the Kindle Store Right from Your Device
5. Search - easy to search your library, just use the keyboard feature and search
6. Built-in Dictionary & Wikipedia access
7. Adjustable Text Size

Finally, proclaiming your white wedding can be a reality - everything will be in white including your venue setting –> a venue completely crafted from ice! Bellow is showing a wedding in an ice church .

Eternal vows in an ephemeral church
The need to show respect, to focus on one’s own thoughts and reflect on the nature of things is a feeling you get from an encounter with ICEHOTEL. Many pieces of life’s puzzle seem to fall into place here, in the ice chapel on the Torne River.

The ceremony and the unique experience of the place, the ice, the snow and the almost unreal environment leave no-one untouched. And perhaps the shared memories and experiences are stronger for the very reason that the chapel is impermanent. When no architectural memento exists, the memories and the vows exchanged are especially cherished.

More and more couples are doing this out-of-the-ordinary wedding setting. Isn’t it special to have a winter white wedding in reality? Discover more information for venue and more here and here .

ConnectR the visual visiting robot is available in 2008 from iRobot coorporation which made Roomba, a vacuum cleaning robot.

With ConnectR, Computer and Internet technology we can easily keep in touch with our love ones regardless how far appart we are. I think this is a nice gadget to have especially when work requires a lot of travel days so parents can keep in touch with their kids. Even if parents always there with their kids, this still can be usefull to use for grandkids and their grandparents or even with other far to reach relatives. Each will cost about $500.00

Here’s all the features & info on how ConnectR works, from iRobot.com:

Stay Connected

Affordable and easy to use, ConnectR enables real-time virtual visits over the Internet. Equipped with high-quality audio and a video camera, the robot is located on-site in the home of the “host” party. Using a computer keyboard, mouse or joystick, the remote (“visiting”) party can drive the robot around and interact with those on-site, virtually participating in activities at home or wherever the device is located (for example, in the home of your grandchildren). The on-site host party can also direct the robot’s movements with a remote control.

Audio and Video

ConnectR features high quality two-way audio and a video camera to connect both parties over the Internet. The camera system provides both wide-angle and close-up viewing. The zoom level is 16.7x from the widest view to the narrowest. In addition, the camera features 220 degrees of tilt, enabling complete control of the viewing angles.

Simple set-up

ConnectR comes complete with everying you need to set it up and get going including the robot, rechargeable battery, self-charging Home Base, remote control, headset microphone, and joystick. ConnectR is quick to install and easy to operate. You need a wireless broadband connection in your home and a Windows XP operating system on your PC. You simply charge the robot and follow the user-friendly set-up instructions to connect it to the wireless network in the home. Then you download the ConnectR software program onto any broadband-enabled PC, which enables you to contact ConnectR and use the robot to virtually visit the home.

Easy to operate

The user-friendly interface lets you connect to and control the robot from any Windows XP-enabled PC. Using a computer keyboard, mouse or joystick, you can drive ConnectR around in any direction to see, hear and interact with whomever you want. The people at home can also use the included remote control to “call” out and connect to you while you are away so that you are always in the loop.

Privacy controls

If the on-site party doesn’t want to be disturbed, the robot’s privacy mode lets them turn off the audio, camera or both.

Safety on the net

Encrypted password protection keeps access to the robot private and secure.

Reach out to many, but you’re in the driver’s seat

You can give up to 10 family members or friends PIN codes to provide them with one-at-a-time access to your ConnectR. So, for example, you could give access to yourself at work, your spouse, each set of grandparents, a far-away sibling, best friend and still have room for more.

To EPSON CEO and Management Team: A lot of people hate Epson printer.

I have had my Epson Stylus R200 printer for three years now.

Apparently if one of the color cartridges ran out of ink, you could not print any more page, even in “Black and White”. I have a full Black ink cartridge and now can’t print black and white.

From Epson support website:

Q: Can the printer still print if an ink cartridge is expended or not installed?
A: No. The printer will not operate if any cartridge is expended or removed. It’s best to always have extra cartridges on hand.

After some research on this topic, I found that there are many users around the world having the same problem.

Epson messes up My Day, http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/2006/10/21/epson-messes-up-my-day/

Don’t buy Epson inkjet printer, http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-31587.html

Epson sucks, http://ask.metafilter.com/42680/EPSON-R300-why-doth-thee-sucketh-so-bad

Apparently there was a awsuit to Epson about Epson Ink Cartridge Cases, http://www.epsonsettlement.com/index.htm where they award $45 for each individual affected by this.

EPSON puts all these restrictions, so we buy more inks from them which are very costly. Quite contrary, from reading on other forums, Canon and Lexmark printers do not enforce the same draconian measures on their printer. That is, you could still print “Black and White” even when one of the color cartridges runs out.

TIPS:

Software hack to reset internal counters of the ink levels, http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml . This was developed by some very clever Russian software engineers and they give it out free. Kudos to them.

(This software will only work before your ink has ran out, so I highly recommend you do it when your ink levels are low). In my case, it doesn’t work before the ink has ran out and the printer says “Communication problem”

I am an oenophile, and enjoy drinking red wines and of course, always enjoy shopping and tasting new wines.

I won’t say that I have a very sophisticated palate in tasting red wine, but I generally find that award-winning wines that have competed in blind tasting competitions would give me some indicator to the quality of the wine.

I found this trick or hack for you to list the Gold Medal wines in BevMo (bookmark this link) and you will be able to sort the wines:

Visit Bevmo here .

• Gold medal wines
• Sort the price from Low to High
• And… now you can get the wine for the best value (so to speak).

FYI, here in San Francisco Bay Area, I have a few wine stores that I enjoy shopping at:

• The Wine Club (http://www.thewineclub.com/) - 953 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA
• Costco (enough said)
• Local Trader Joes (http://www.traderjoes.com/locations.asp) . Sometimes you can find a bargain Sonoma or Napa cabernet or merlot at less than $7.00 per bottle.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other findings to share with other oenophiles!

Disclosure: I love new world wines (Napa Valley) better than old world wines.

I found out about 1019898 and 1010229, and you could save on your long distance and international phone calls to Asia. They have great rates. US interstate is 2c / minute, but the real deal I think is in the international rates. They do have a connection fee of 10 cents and 20 cents per call, but overall it still is cheaper than anything else I have found.

See International rates for 1019898

See International rates for 1010229
I used to use OneSuite, however it gets tedious to re-charge the pin each time.

Dialing instructions for 1019898 :

For calls within the USA and Canada for using 1019898
Dial 101 9898 + 1 + area code + number

For international calls for using 1019898

Dial 101 9898 + 011 + country code + number

Dialing instructions for 1010229 :

For calls within the USA and Canada:
Dial 1010 229+ 1 + area code + number

For international calls:

Dial 1010 229 + 011 + country code + number

There are NO monthly fees with 1019898 and 1010229. You are only charged for calls actually made and charges appear on your regular Pac Bell or Verizon phone bill.

Update: 1019898 works for residents of state of California, using Pacbell or Verizon.

At this moment the 1010229 network is only available in the states of California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the great Toronto area.
