The Goldbergs Review: “You Opened the Door” (Episode 1.14)

The Goldbergs Review: “You Opened the Door” (Episode 1.14)

Anyone who’s ever lived through the battlefield of middle school and high school knows that the idea of a parent chaperoning a dance is akin to social suicide. When said parent is Beverly Goldberg, however, the capacity for embarrassment suddenly becomes downright catastrophic.

The episode begins with Adam garnering enough courage to ask Dana for a dance at the upcoming school dance. The problem comes when Adam realizes he has no idea how to actually dance with a girl. After failing to get advice from Erica or proper lessons from Barry, who only subscribes to the art of break-dancing, Adam turns to his mother, despite knowing that asking her help will be “opening the door” for her to further invade his life. To Adam’s delight, Beverly actually teaches him decent dance moves. (I assume they’re decent; by the time I started going to dances, everyone was just grinding all the time.) His worst fears come to pass, however, when he hears that she’s volunteered to chaperone the event to witness her son’s first slow-dance.

Reading the premise of “You Opened the Door,” I thought I knew what kind of episode to expect. And while select portions of the main story met my expectations, others surprisingly threw me a curve. Certainly the scene where Adam must practice slow dancing with his mother is as awkward and as painful as you’d expect (not to mention the fact that she goes to the dance dressed in “hip” parachute pants). Yet, the writers appear to presuppose that their audiences know Beverly’s character and, with that knowledge, expect her to do and say certain things.

In other words, when Beverly eventually shows up at the dance, despite Adam’s desperate attempts to keep her away, we expect an avalanche of humiliation to follow suit. Instead, he …

Song One (2014 Sundance review)

Song One (2014 Sundance review)

Photo courtesy of John Guleserian Sundance Institute

In her first major role since winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Les Misérables, Anne Hathaway gets back in touch with her indie side for Song One, a modest but affecting drama that finds her delivering a gentle performance that contains none of the melodramatic fireworks of Fantine. Writer-director Kate Barker-Froyland’s feature debut about a woman reconnecting with her brother through his songwriting idol has a delicate, melancholy tone that’s fragile but strong enough to sustain this minor-key tale.

Hathaway plays Franny, a PhD student in anthropology studying Bedouin tribes when she gets a call from her mother (Mary Steenburgen) back home in New York with news: Franny’s younger brother, Henry (Ben Rosenfield), is in a coma after getting hit by a car. Franny returns to New York, feeling guilty that they hadn’t talked for months after she got mad at him for dropping out of college to pursue a music career.

Since Henry can’t speak, Franny decides to reenter his life in another way: through the journal he was writing. Alongside lyric ideas and general music musings, the journal reveals Henry’s admiration for a singer-songwriter named James Forester (Johnny Flynn), who had a hit indie album about five years ago but has struggled creatively ever since. (Franny even finds a photo of Henry backstage with his hero.) Seeing that James is playing in New York, she introduces herself to him and explains her brother’s condition and his adoration for him. Sympathetic, James (who doesn’t remember meeting Henry) shows up at the hospital to see the young man, and he and Franny strike up a friendship.

From the first moment that Franny and James meet, it’s easy to presume that the two of them will strike up a romantic relationship. But one …

How to make vagina taste and smell better

How to make vagina taste and smell better

People are very different. I know girls who have never even looked at their vagina, and girls who know how their pussy taste in every period of the menstrual cycle. And as well as chefs never criticize themselves, although they know their dishes best, that’s why the true connoisseurs of female juices are men how like to enter between the meaty hills and plow the source of life. We are more stimulated by the smell than the taste and the general conclusion is that the two are not strongly connected to each other. Tasting the vagina remains more of a privilege of gourmets who want to eat their girls out. Sometimes we find a tasty dish, which meets our expectations, and sometimes even hectoliters of saliva can not help to improve the taste. In general the taste of the vagina is very difficult to describe, but the most natural is a slightly acidic taste.

Vagina is in fact acidic and this acidity is changing with women’s menstrual cycle. We’ll drop out the taste of menstrual blood of our thinking, but otherwise its acidity correlates with the level of estrogen. The acidity of the vagina is something great, although not for every taster. The acidity prevents multiple possible bacterial infection and in the case of ejaculation, it’s killing large numbers of sperm. Not exactly the best for the tongue though.

Regulate its taste in the right way

As we can improve or destroy the taste of food in a number of ways, so can women improve the taste of a vagina. The worst possible way is to wash your vagina inside and out with soap or some gel, which is not intended for this. Not only will you kill the odor and flavor, but you could catch an inflammation. It is …

Why Is Iron Needed During Pregnancy

Why Is Iron Needed During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a cherished episode of a woman’s life. She needs extra care during this phase. With the advances in modern medicine it has become clear that she needs to eat right rather than eat more. It has been a misconception since a very long time that a pregnant lady needs to eat for 2 people, for herself and the baby. One must know that the baby while in his mothers womb gets all his nutrition from the mother. This nutrition goes to the unborn baby through the nutrients in the blood which pass across the placental barrier of the mother. While a lot of would be mothers know about a balanced diet and its importance during pregnancy, they might not know enough about the balanced diet itself. Peoples knowledge of a balanced diet can be limited to taking in adequate quantities of carbohydrates, fats, proteins etc. They might not know enough about the importance of minerals and vitamins in a diet. Minerals and vitamins also play a very important role in normal body functioning. Iron is one such important mineral. Intake of iron is in a big way responsible for normal functioning of the human body. Iron is responsible for the synthesis of the protein hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin helps bind with oxygen in the red blood cells (RBC). This oxygen is then carried to the cells in the body. Myoglobin carries oxygen to the muscles.

Why is iron needed during pregnancy? During pregnancy the amount of blood volume within the pregnant lady’s body increases by more than almost 50 percent. This additional volume of blood then needs additional oxygen. This need for additional oxygen can be fulfilled by taking in additional iron during pregnancy. This iron is required for normal brain development of the unborn child as well. …

The purpose of the fashion industry is clearly concentrated in the legs – skirts, tight pants, shorts and socks – and a new sex symbol of life given in this season, but he was. Since the year 2000 (in fact, a number of exceptions, but not before), in the fashion week there is one area in the chest the waist line of an hourglass.

Remember the story of contemporary fashion, the chest was not selected. Jean-Paul Gaultier in 1990, Madonna’s Blond Ambition tour designed bimodal seems to be one of the classic memories. Of course, many designers are playing with a corset dress, but also take care of themselves, and not the chest, to mark the line.
