She was always beautiful and glowing, but now that she's pregnant, she looks absolutely radiant! Neha Dhupia has proved that her maternity style is anything but not dull. Ever since the Lust stories actor announced that she's pregnant with her first child with husband Angad Bedi, she's provided us with one stylish outfit after another.
Ever since the news became public knowledge, the 38-year-old has been giving us loads of 'maternity chic' outfits. The underlines are flowy drapes, asymmetrical hemlines and bright colours.
When we dug deep into Instagram to find some of Neha's most bold outfits, we got fashion gold. Here is our pick of the top 9 looks served by Mrs Bedi:
Recently, Neha opted for a cool white tie-up dress paired with a floral headband on her baby shower. She looked absolutely flawless with a touch of light makeup.
Neha Dhupia pompously exhibited her baby bump on the ramp at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week. Her husband Angad Bedi also walked with her.
The Shaadi outfit from Payal Khandwala can look graceful even if you have a baby bump to hide. The teal choli with its extraordinary silhouette paired with the heavy Banarasi lehenga is a mixture for the fashion gods, served with a side of statement jewellery.
Neha's take on pregnant lazy girl dressing is on-point with this Saaksha and Kinni gown. It's breezy, natural and combines floral like a summer's dream. It's perfect when you are on your perfect vacay with your perfect husband enjoying your perfect life.
Who said pregnant women can't do athleisure? Neha gives us the lowdown. Wearing Zara from head to toe, the 38-year-old added her Safilo sunglasses to keep the shade away. The IDGAF pose- every millennial can totally relate!
Red hot and hot damn! We all have a similar tunic-dress in our closets that we never wear. Neha's advise? Take it out and wear it, because it can look this good. The Global Desi gown is contented and readily stylish.
Neha showed her best angles in a dark green leaf print dress with dim shades for her show No Filter Neha Season 3.
The actress aced the maternity look in an indigo coloured maxi dress paired with a pink shrug. That one glow is keeping her look amazing every time.
Yellow suits her! Neha with her baby bump looked totally eye-catching in the yellow dress.
We wish her good luck in her upcoming projects.

Food smokers all, by design, smoke your food. However, there is significant variation between models from the fuel they use to the safety features they come with. Here are a few tips on how to find the best food smoker for your needs. We'll also give you advice on what to look for in general when shopping for a food smoker.
[amazon_link asins='B01JGF97D0,B00LK2SAYA' template='CopyOf-ProductGrid' store='shoppingkimwp-20′ marketplace='US' link_id='b62a1450-0555-11e8-8aa1-3d6c72fb82d4′]
In This Post:
Determine the Biggest Item You Typically Smoke
Determine the biggest item you regularly smoke. If you smoke large racks of ribs or a whole turkey, you'll need a much larger food smoker than someone who smokes a few sausages or steaks. Buy a smoker that has space to cook what you want. However, you shouldn't buy a massive unit in the hope that you'll eventually use the space since the cost of the smoker is partly determined by its size.
Look for Key Features
A key feature to look for in smokers is temperature control. Just because it is smoking it doesn't mean it is cooking at the ideal temperature. You need it to maintain the food at the proper temperature so that it is safe to eat when done. A thermostat is inferior to temperature control since temperature controls will heat up the food if things are cooling down while the thermostat only tells you it is too cool or burning. If you can find it, look for a smoker that will automatically shut off if it is tipped over.
Think about the Type of Fuel
Different types of smokers all have their own characteristics as far as the flavor profile and efficiency goes. Electric smokers give you excellent temperature control and are very safe. They also give you the most control. Gas smokers are easy to set up and create good tasting food, but you should add the hassle of getting replacement gas canisters throughout the summer season. Charcoal smokers tend to make food taste good, but you have to be careful about temperature control. Not all of them let you maintain a safe temperature range.
Check the Safety and Reliability Ratings
Fires due to smokers that tipped over, either accidentally upon contact or on its own, are unfortunately common. Check the safety ratings of smokers before you buy one for your own use. Also, check the reliability ratings of the smoker since you don't want to buy one that has fifty-fifty odds of quitting before you've used it very much. A good way to learn this is by reading electric smoker reviews at Electric Smoker Center.
The complaints and concerns are actually the most important information since it is easy to write about how great it is after its first use. It is the frequent complaints about smokers tipping over, leaking, or failing to evenly cook food that helps you decide which models you don't want. You'll also learn what mistakes people made with the smoker, so you know what to avoid yourself. Cookout Pal recently published a complete guide on finding the best electric smoker for the money.
Finding the best smoker for your needs all boils down to what capacity you need, what type of safety features you're looking for, the type of energy you would prefer to use, and how much work it is to keep the unit going and clean after use.
You can find Food Smokers for the best price on Amazon.

* STOXX down 0.6 pct
* Autos lead sectoral fallers
* Sky jumps, just shy of offer price
* Randgold spikes on Barrick deal
* Crude price jump boosts oil stocks (Updates prices, adds details)
By Helen Reid and Danilo Masoni
LONDON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The U.S.-China trade war dented European stocks on Monday after tariffs from the world's biggest economies came into force and China cancelled planned talks, triggering new fears of a protracted, costly trade dispute.
Europe's STOXX 600 fell 0.5 percent, extending losses after remarks from ECB President Mario Draghi bolstered expectations of rate hikes next year.
Autos, among the most dependent on smooth global trade, fell the most, down 1.5 percent, while rate sensitive banks ended down 0.8 percent after briefly turned higher following Draghi's comments.
The leading euro zone stocks index fell 0.6 percent, breaking its longest winning streak since 1997.
"There's potential for this to be a relatively protracted period of uncertainty given that it seems unlikely you're going to come to a quick conclusion where both sides are happy," said Mike Bell, global market strategist at JP Morgan Asset Management.
Carmakers BMW Daimler and car parts maker Valeo were the top fallers on the DAX and the CAC 40 respectively.
Dealmaking drove the greatest moves across sectors, with Europe's biggest pay-TV group Sky soaring after Comcast's offer won an auction for the company.
Sky shares jumped 8.6 percent to 17.23 pounds, just below Comcast's cash offer of 17.28 pounds a share.
"Sky's importance in the UK remains and with Comcast likely to dictate the strategy going forwards we would expect a continued focus on telecoms, broadband and mobile," Macquarie analysts said.
Randgold Resources rose 6 percent after it agreed a share-for-share merger with Canada's Barrick Gold in a deal worth $18.3 billion.
"Perhaps this signals the start of renewed consolidation in the space," said Paul Gait, senior research analyst at Bernstein.
"Clearly Barrick want the management of Randgold and the 'premium' that could be attached to someone like (Rangold CEO) Mark Bristow."
Luxury stocks were in focus after reports that U.S. fashion group Michael Kors Holdings had agreed to take control of Italy's Versace in a deal that could value the company at $2 billion.
Paris-based Kering and LVMH outperformed the broader market, ending up 0.4 percent and flat respectively, while Hugo Boss was down 1.6 percent.
British travel operator Thomas Cook Group sank 28.1 percent after slashing its profit outlook, blaming a hot summer in northern Europe for weaker holiday demand in the late August-September season.
Thomas Cook peer TUI fell 2.9 percent.
Shares in Danish medical equipment firm Coloplast fell 1.4 percent after Berenberg analysts cut their recommendation on the stock to "sell".
Oil and gas stocks supported the market, up 1.1 percent as crude prices jumped more than 2 percent to a four-year high after Saudi Arabia and Russia ruled out any immediate increase in production.
Oil firms Saipem and OMV were among top European gainers, up 3.6 percent and 3.9 percent respectively. (Reporting by Helen Reid; Editing by Alison Williams and Andrew Heavens)

Proposed by: Jonathan
Reviewed by: David
The Preakness Stakes is the second race of horse racing's Triple Crown. Two weeks ago we celebrated the first race, the Kentucky Derby of course, with the traditional Mint Julep. This week's cocktail is named after the official flower of Maryland and is the cocktail of The Preakness – the Black Eyed Susan.
Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore hosts the Preakness which was run for the first time in 1873, two years before the Kentucky Derby. Unlike the Derby which has been run every year since 1875, though, the Preakness missed a few years and was run at other tracks during its history. The race features its own traditions in the singing of Maryland's state song (Maryland, My Maryland), a blanket of flowers for the winner (Black Eyed Susans or their substitute since they bloom later in the year), and the cocktail that we are celebrating.
The official cocktail has changed recipes over the year and any quick search will turn up a number of variations. The history began in a cloudy way when the first versions were premixed and the exact makeup kept secret by the company that made them. The story goes that the folks at Pimlico decided to make their own and a recipe was created to mimic the original. Since then though, there are versions different enough that they do not even contain the same base liquors. The Preakness web site includes what is now the "official" version made with Finlandia Vodka, St. Germain (an elderberry liqueur), and the juice of lemon, limes and pineapple. Needless to say it is official because it is sponsored by Finlandia and St. Germain.
My proposal last week was that we each try the version of our choice. Last year, before this blog was envisioned, our household celebrated the Derby with Juleps. The races that followed seemed to be a good excuse to try the traditional cocktails of each and we did just that. The Black Eyed Susan I made then included vodka and Kentucky whiskey (Early Times Kentucky Whisky, and yes, the spelling difference is correct). Based on that and few extra taste testers I found a recipe for a pitcher of the drink that was close to it:
1.5 cups vodka
1.5 cups rum, whiskey, or bourbon (I used bourbon)
.75 cups triple sec
4 cups orange juice
4 cups pineapple juice
1 tablespoon of lime juice
Garnished with an orange slice, cherry and fresh pineapple.
Add in some kind of crab dish, singing along with Maryland, My Maryland and you have your own tradition. At least until they change the recipe again.
David's Review:
I had no intention of including St. Germain in this recipe, despite what the track says this year, but I did. It was on sale at a high falootin' grocery I visit (but still mighty expensive) and I just couldn't resist. Say what you will about the cost of St. Germain, it's delicious and, I think, adds a great deal to this cocktail.
The Preakness usually goes unnoticed for me—it's the first race after the Kentucky Derby—but this cocktail called for close attention. I'm no fan of pineapple juice, as the juice is another case where the fruit can't be improved upon. Yet this drink offered a fresh and refreshing combination of flavors. Unlike Jonathan, I stuck to vodka and rum (and St. Germain), which made the fruit that much more prominent. In addition, St. Germain has an odd resonance with citrus. Tasted by itself, the liquor is positively protean, seeming at turns herbal, spicy, and fruity. And, at times, it tastes positively pineapply to me.
As we've suggested before, the ultimate review of a mixed drink is whether you order another, and we did. We missed the race—why so early, Maryland?—but the drink was a fine way to wind down as spring (finally) seems to be arriving in Chicago.
Maybe expense doesn't matter so much if the result is a quiet moment of celebration. You don't need a race or anything else, just the will for gratitude, a desire to acknowledge how good a moment of calm can be.
Jonathan's take: Fruity. No other way to put it – fruity.
David's take: Fruit is good, maybe even healthy. Whether it is or not, though, I'll have another.
Next Week (proposed by David):
Time for another classic, I think. Let's try a Tom Collins. I don't have any idea who Tom Collins might be (though I'm certain I'll find out), or how the drink arrived at that name, but as just about everyone seems to recognize the concoction, maybe it's time to try one. We have the ingredients after all, and that's a definite plus.

How many of us put ourselves out to think of others? How many of us will do things to help other people have a better life? A few possibly. But how many of us would be willing to pay the ultimate price to save others?
The story today of 10-year-old Kiera Larson who died saving two young children from a runaway car in Lakeside, California really touched me. It was unbelievable that the bright young girl reacted to save her two younger friends but at such a terrible cost. (You can read about it here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3464919/Hero-girl-10-dies-saving-lives-two-toddlers-pushing-way-runaway-SUV.html)
I have total respect for this young girl who should always be remembered for what she did to help others. I am sure she would have done a lot in her life to help others, but unfortunately we will never know.
Putting others first is such an amazing quality that I wish more people would aspire to it. It is what makes us admire those who go into war zones to make a difference to people in desperate need. There are also those closer to home who do jobs that keep us safe but will put themselves at risk; the police and fire officers. We can quickly forget that every minute of every day there are those uniformed services ready to help. It is easy to take that for granted.
I am lucky enough to work every day alongside people who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice if it was needed for the good of others, or of society as a whole. When I think about it that fact makes me want to work even harder to help them in the only way I can – using my skills and knowledge in communication.
When I heard about Kiera I was filled with total admiration that such love could be shown by one so young. I have seen people at work step into danger to help others without thinking of themselves. The world is full of some amazing things and amazing people, and we really need to stop and pay tribute to them.

Uterine stem cells used to treat diabetes
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have converted stem cells from the human endometrium into insulin-producing cells and transplanted them into mice to control the animals' diabetes.
The endometrium, or uterine lining, is a source of adult stem cells. Normally, these cells generate uterine tissue each month as part of the menstrual cycle. Like other stem cells, however, they can divide to form other kinds of cells.
The study's findings suggest the possibility that endometrial stem cells could be used to develop insulin-producing islet cells. These islet cells could then be used to advance the study

Revealing Painless Products For Russia Bride

To include it bluntly, a postal mail order bride service is an online catalog with available men and women who are seeking a loving partner for relationship. These are not dating ?nternet sites or hookup apps. These are definitely serious platforms build simply by people who care about the sanctity of marriage and true love. Everyone deserves affection and care. This is the concept in back of every mail order bride-to-be website (those that are value mentioning).

Loneliness is the number one slayer; the feeling of segregation and abandonment take more world per year than car collisions. Think of these numbers. Close to 1, 000 people within the age of 25 kick the bucket on the roads every day. Many people suffering from depression range from tens of thousands; these people often have nobody to show to.

Almost all the ladies who joined the mail order bride services come from Europe, Russia, South east asia, and sometimes the Philippines.

The Kundalini Genie are a four-piece psychedelic band from Glasgow, Scotland.
Formed in early 2017 they played their first gig in The Coyote Whiskey Bar in March, as part of the Carlton Live Sessions.
As payment they received a day of recording time, which they used to produce their first rough single, The Soul That Makes Me Yours, in the days after.
Since then they have been spreading their brand of psychedelic rock'n'roll as far and wide as they could, and have supported such bands as Acid Mothers Temple, Spindrift, Triptides, and performing at the Carlton Psychedelic Festival of 2017.

I've written daily in a journal since my teens and have destroyed all my diaries from that period of my life—literally burned them. I recall what instigated the bonfire. I was leaving Montreal for Toronto—moving to a new city for university, and I had convinced myself I didn't want to carry my diaries with me—seven small books that wouldn't have taken up much space in my luggage.
Only years later, did I realize it was the fear of discovery that made me destroy them, the fear that someone, for whatever reason, could steal, of all things, my journals. I must've had delusions of grandeur. No one would've been interested in the crap I wrote as a teenager: daily angst-ridden reflections involving crushes on male teachers; musings on my directionless career goals; and of course, sexual fantasies that spanned the normal to the "deviant," or at least, what I considered deviant back then.
This may read like an odd introduction to an article about my book launch, but bear with me. In the past month, likely in concert with lack of sleep, (I've not had more than five hours of continuous sleep since early January), I've neglected writing daily in my journal. Some days, I've had to catch up on almost a week's worth of events. I'd rack my brain to try and remember what I did, often looking to Ramone to fill in the blanks.
Lack of sleep and fear of discovery—a deadly combination for me. It's great to publish a book, but now, I had to sell it. Though promotion wasn't something I enjoyed doing, the end result was if I did it well, my book would get into the hands of readers, and that's what I wanted, right? Of course it was, but that meant they could read my innermost thoughts, my deviant sexual fantasies. Somehow that adolescent angst came rushing back, at least for a brief time.
I'm not a teenager anymore, and I no longer burn books. When I decided to become a writer, I knew I didn't want to keep my thoughts to myself anymore. Considering I sold out at my very first book launch, I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic about my future as an author.
Below are highlights of the event:
- A strange looking "bag lady" wanders the store shortly after we arrive to set up. She's mysteriously shrouded in an oversized, black coat. Ramone is concerned she's there to steal the booze.
- She turns out to be one of my best friends who has taken the bus in from Montreal to surprise me! Janet H's arrival sets the tone for the evening, as my biggest fear all along has been that no one will show up. In the end, my RSVPs were accurate — I had attendance of just under 100 people.
- An impromptu book signing for a few early birds escalates to a line-up of people who seem to show up all at once.
- I sign books for about an hour before taking a break.
- Ben introduces me, and his dry wit is peppered with comedic timing. He has the crowd roaring with laughter.
- My speech is tame compared to Ben's, its goal to provide thanks to those who have helped me. As I asked for the indulgence of my guests that night, I ask it of you here as well:
– To Ben McNally Books – specifically to Ben for creating a beautiful bookstore, and having the generosity of spirit to take a chance on a first-time author.
– To John P – PR man extraordinaire and mentor who helped to "brand" me, and to his lovely wife, Alex, who attended in his absence to be my crutch.
– To Alexa Clark – social entrepreneur, author, and creator of the CheapEats Restaurant Guide Series. Her ability to connect me to the right people was immensely helpful, but even more important was the confidence she instilled in me to market myself properly.
– To Betty Dworatschek – legal professional by day, and owner of Metal Queen Management by night. Her connections in the music industry are boundless, and she taught me how to use her promotional techniques for planning my own event.
– To Mike Strobel – because he gave me some major press through his article in the Toronto Sun, and though he may not think I'm a bad girl, he certainly knows they sell.
– To Mae L – because she's my oldest friend and has been there through all the ups and downs and is still around after all these years.
– To Janet H – because she took a 6-hour bus ride to attend my 2-hour event, leaving behind her husband, 3 kids, and a dog only to have to return later that night.
– To Jimmy Y – because he's my brother, and he's always given me unconditional support no matter what I've done.
– To all who were in attendance or had someone purchase a book on their behalf – because of your constant support, my accomplishments do not seem hollow.
– And finally, to my husband, Ramone – not only does he make it possible for me to write, he makes it meaningful and worthwhile.
I'd also like to acknowledge the generous donations from:
The food was amazing and the service—stellar.
Compri has been catering to corporate and social clients in and around the Toronto area since 1989. Whether it's a group of ten, or ten thousand, consider Compri for your next affair.
Vibrators, free porn, and massage oil were just a few of the gifts donated by Good for Her, a Toronto erotic boutique that carries high quality sex toys, books, and DVDs. They also conduct educational workshops for men, women, and couples.
It was a lovely book launch, and I'm thrilled to have shared it with so many people. The photos and videos are now posted, and they tell the rest of the evening's events.
I'm a firm believer that you cannot say "Thank you," too many times, so I'll say it again. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy days to come and see me, buy a book or two, and provide such encouraging words. You've made this one of the most memorable times of my life.
For those who were not able to buy a book—Ben now has more books in stock. If you were unable to get your book signed, I would be more than happy to do it. Send me an e-mail and we can arrange to meet for a coffee.
I really do need to get out of the house more often!
Stay sexy,

Jul 26, 2018 - National Geographic Islander
We arrived at Santiago Island today. Before breakfast, we disembarked on the shore at Espumilla Beach, located on the west coast of the island. After a smooth wet landing, we strolled along the beach looking for wildlife and photo opportunities. We found fresh Pacific green sea turtle nests, Galapagos hawks, American oystercatchers, fishing blue-footed boobies, Pacific brown pelicans, and the invisible ghost crab. The beautiful mangrove forest that extends along the beach offered us a great show. After breakfast, National Geographic Islander repositioned herself less than a mile to the north, in an area known as Buccaneer's Cove. Once anchored, we set out on our Zodiacs to explore the shoreline from the water. Sightseeing and snorkelling were our activities in the area
After lunch, Puerto Egas was our next destination, which is a long-time abandoned human settlement, formerly a salt mine. Our afternoon was spent on the beach swimming and sun bathing, and later, we took a long hike along the shoreline of Puerto Egas. This would turn out to be an excellent opportunity to see Galapagos fur sea lions among other new species. Darwin finches, Galapagos mockingbirds, and yellow warbles were abundant along the contour of these beautiful shores. As the sun set over the large volcanoes of Isabela to the west, we made our way back home with smiles on our faces, thinking about the delicious barbecue dinner ahead of us. It was another day in paradise…
