Beautiful Bouquet and my Mother loved it.
crazycatwomanFast and beautifulJuly 27, 2015
I ordered this arrangement late in the day and was hoping it would be delivered as requested- I was shocked that it was delivered within 2 hours and the flowers were fresh and arranged beautifully. It made a birthday surprise a big hit. Thanks
DaveGreat serviceJune 15, 2015
Perfect. Smooth transaction and delivery
BobGreat flowersJuly 21, 2014
They were delivered on time and our recipient greatly enjoyed the surprise.
I have been told that the flowers are lovely and arrived right on time. Since I live 300 miles away from the person I sent them to, I have not actually seen the arrangement. The web site was user-friendly and the prices are competitive. There is a huge variety of choices.
proby1Wonderfull presentationMay 26, 2014
We ordered the flowers online from the UK for our Aunt in Reno, and when they arrived, our Aunt rang to say how wonderfull they were. We of course are over the moon with the service we received and will use this company again at the next occasion.
I heard that the flowers were beautiful and I asked for a purple bow and I was told that it was done. I was very happy with the florist!

The Auto Junkyard: photo by Walker Evans, from Fortune, April 1962 (via full table)
To give unpredicated substance phrase
And being. So the discontinuous,
The present instant absent finally
Without future or past, is yet in time
For we are time, monads of purposes
Beyond ourselves that are not purposes,
A causeless all of momentary somes.
And in such fiction we can think of death.

Somewhere along the line, seeing the word "Clinton" in a headline went from signaling a story about Bill to heralding one about Hillary as the former first lady moved from senator to presidential contender to secretary of state.
In recent days, we've strangely approached a similar point with another political family: the Palins.
Only the path to power – and publicity – seems more driven by the politics of television democracy and the changing meaning of celebrity than by traditional campaigning. With Bristol and Sarah Palin, we're witnessing a bizarre tangling of politics, so-called Reality TV and entertainment in a media dance that's being made up as it goes along.
Look! There's Bristol Palin reaching the finals of "Dancing With the Stars," amid controversy over whether her mom's Tea Party pals are flooding the phone lines on her behalf. There's Bristol starring in a goofy abstinence PSA with The Situation of "Jersey Shore" infamy. There's Bristol apologizing for homophobic slurs allegedly posted to Facebook by younger sister Willow.
And, oh yeah, there's her mom, Sarah, finally declaring what we've all suspected: she's considering challenging President Obama in 2012.
"I'm looking at the lay of the land now, and… trying to figure that out, if it's a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it's a good thing," she told Barbara Walters for a "10 Most Fascinating People" of 2010 show set to air Dec. 9.
Palin, certainly no fan of The New York Times, offered similar comments for a story in paper's Sunday magazine.
The rare interviews with journalists other than her co-workers at Fox News came as her new Reality TV show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," made a strong, memorable debut Sunday.
But by some measures in a pop culture that inexplicably pays inordinate attention to non-celebrity celebrities – like a politician's daughter – 20-year-old Bristol has been the star of the family as of late.
Chatter about her advance to the dancing show's finals – getting the most votes amid low scores from the judges – proved a trending topic on Twitter. A search of the word "Palin" in Google News turns up numerous results for mom and daughter, alike.
While "Alaska" drew a healthy five million viewers Sunday – reportedly the best show debut in TLC history – the latest "Dancing With the Stars" attracted an audience of more than 17 million for ABC.
It's hard to gauge Bristol's true popularity, especially if her mom's supporters really are stuffing the ballot box or if she's being propped up by the Sanjaya Effect (named for the oddball "American Idol" contest whose quirky persona won him more viewer votes than his mediocre singing).
It's equally as difficult to get a hold on her mother's standing in the country, particularly as she continues to blur the boundaries between politician and celebrity. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found last month that 67 percent of registered voters believe Sarah Palin is unfit to serve as president. Meanwhile, a recent Gallup poll put her tied for a close second among possible GOP hopefuls for the 2012 race.
How "Alaska" will impact her presidential prospects is hard to predict. The show's debut portrayed the Palins, in the words of the former governor, as "normal, average everyday Americans," who fish, ski and climb mountains together as Mom prepares for appearances on Fox News and vies to move them from the Great White North to the White House.
It's quite possible though, that Bristol ultimately will prove as big a vote getter as her mother. After all, we live in a country where the 2009 "American Idol" finals drew 100 million votes – not all that much less than the 115 million ballots cast in the 2008 presidential election.
If that's sadly laughable, we'll close with videos we expect will elicit less rueful chuckles. Check out Bristol's awkward encounter with The Situation and Stephen Colbert's "Alaska" spoof below as we brace for more life with the Palins.

If you have implemented an easy access consumer product review forum onto your site to allow your customers to review your products, you are among the most brilliant marketers in the business. Why? Nothing sells products like the word of mouth evaluation style of a consumer product review.
The latest and greatest in Internet marketing techniques is viral marketing. Why? Because viral marketing takes good old fashioned word of mouth out into cyberspace. One person tells another, who tells three more, who tells six more, etc, etc, etc. Now you have an unlimited network of people who know about your product, which means you have an unlimited network of potential customers!
Of course, in order to be able to properly promote your product they have to be able to say what they like about it-and what they don't. No one knows more about a product than the person who buys it and puts it into action in their day to day life, which means that these are the people you want out there teaching others about your products. How are you going to do that? Through a consumer product review.
By implementing a consumer product review on your site you are allowing your consumers to get in there and be 100% honest about the ups and downs of your products. This is a tremendous asset when you are selling over the Internet because the very nature of the Internet means that your customers don't have the chance to view your products first hand, or to take them for a test drive on their own. They're always going to approach a sale with caution, because they can never be sure whether they're buying a high quality product or paying for junk.
When they have a consumer product review from a real consumer to read, on the other hand, they have the opportunity to hear how a product really works when you take it down off of its virtual shelf and put it into action. Although they're getting the news secondhand, finding out the product really works for other people will go a long way toward building their confidence in your products and encouraging them to buy.
Don't be afraid of having a negative review on your site. Some of the most well known shopping sites on the Internet have consumer product review forums (conveniently matched up with their products to keep consumers from having to go searching), you'll find almost as many negative reviews as you will positive. This doesn't hurt their sales.
As a matter of fact, it's exactly the opposite. All consumers are perfectly aware of the fact that only a fool thinks he can keep 100% of the people happy, 100% of the time. A company that's willing to post the thoughts of that small percentage of the population that isn't happy is an honest one, which is what consumers really want when they're making a decision about where they want to spend their money.

Is this simply a matter of making a dumpling-shape with the dough, and then putting the fruit inside, or are there other adjustments I need to make to ensure that the crust and ingredients inside will be baked nicely? With respect to preparation and baking, what is the difference between pie in a pan and a turnover, if any?

English Teacher
I assigned a letter to my student that invites his friend to a dinner party at his home. He was expreceted to write the letter in informal style.
His letter is:
Hi Joyce,
Havent seen you for a long time, how are you? I want to share with a happy thingI moved to my new home! Our whole family is very excited, so we decide to hold a dinner party Thursday October 4 at 7pm at my new home. If you are free, just give me a call before the dinner.
I hope to see you soon.
I made some changes. Could you proofread it and make it informal? Thank you!
Hi Joyce,
Havent seen you for a long time, how are you? I want to share good news with you I move to my new home! I am very excited (the previous subject is I), and (I think and is more natural in terms of logic. What is your opnion?) will throw a dinner party at 7 on Thursday, Oct. 4 at my new home. If you can come, just give me a call.
Hope to see you soon.
You need the "how are you?" to be its own sentence.
Your change to "I want to share good news with you" is better, but "some good news" is better yet.
There is no reason the whole family can't be excited - leave that alone.
"So" is a very logical connector. You should leave that alone too.
The order of "on October 4 at 7 pm" was also fine. Don't change your students words when they are not wrong.
There is nothing wrong with "I hope to see you soon."
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

Hardy, Wieters return to Orioles lineup
TORONTO -- Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy and catcher Matt Wieters returned to the lineup on Wednesday night after the pair was sidelined with minor injuries sustained over the weekend in Boston.
In the Orioles' 10-8 win over the Blue Jays, both players contributed to a big night from the offense. Wieters launched a solo home run, his fourth of the season, in the seventh. Hardy drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Wieters, who was dealing with some right forearm tightness, said he was good to go and didn't need to test out his arm with any throws pregame. The O's catcher, who last played Sunday night, got treatment on the area and said Tuesday he was confident it would be a one-day thing following Monday's scheduled off-day.
Hardy sustained a right hamstring strain running the bases in Sunday's game -- exiting after six innings -- and said Wednesday he was much improved over the past 48 hours.
"I don't have that soreness," Hardy said. "There's definitely tightness, but that's just normal and it's not going to be 100 percent when I get back in there. There's only one way to test out game-speed stuff."
The Orioles shortstop took ground balls and ran before Tuesday's game and said he came in on Wednesday feeling good enough to be back in the lineup. That's good news for Baltimore, which is also missing third baseman Manny Machado and has been without Hardy for eight full games, six due to back spasms.
"Hopefully, I won't have to try to score on a double in the gap or something from first. Try and be under control at least a little bit the first day," Hardy said. "I think I'll be able to be smart with it. Hopefully not re-injure it and just keep getting better from here on out."

The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-eye View of the World
Random House, 2002 - 271 Seiten
An Idaho farmer cultivates Russet Burbank potatoes so that a customer at a McDonald's half a world away can enjoy a long, golden French fry. A gardener plants tulip bulbs in the fall and, come spring, has a riotous patch of color to admire. Two straightforward examples of how humans act on nature to get what we want. Or are they? What if those potatoes and tulips have evolved to gratify certain human desires so that humans will help them multiply? What if, in other words, these plants are using us just as we use them? Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and in the process spreads the flowers' genes far and wide. What Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates in The Botany of Desire is that people and domesticated plant species have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship, a relationship that is just as common and essential to the way nature works. In this utterly original narrative that blends history, memoir, and the best science writing, Pollan tells the story of four domesticated species-the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato-from the point of view of the plants. All four species are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives, and Pollan illustrates how each has evolved a survival strategy based on satisfying one of humankind's most basic desires. The apple gratifies our taste for sweetness; the tulip attracts us with its beauty; marijuana offers intoxication; and the genetically modified potato gives us a sense of control over nature. And just as we've benefited from these plants, the plants, in the grand coevolutionary scheme that Pollan so brilliantly evokes, have done remarkably well by us. Take the apple, for example. In nineteenth-century America, frontier dwellers far from the trading posts of the East lacked a source of sweetness in their diet-and sugar with which to make alcohol. So when a man named John Chapman (a.k.a. Johnny Appleseed) floated down the Ohio River with bushels of apple seeds in his canoe, the settlers seized on the opportunity to grow the fruit on their new land. The pioneers' desire for sweetness was satisfied-and the apple was given a whole new continent on which to blossom. So who is really domesticating whom? Weaving fascinating anecdote and accessible science in gorgeous prose, Pollan takes the reader on an absorbing journey through the landscape of botany and desire. It is a journey that will change the way we think about our place in nature. In 1637, one Dutchman paid as much for a single tulip bulb as the going price of a town house in Amsterdam. Three & a half centuries later, Amsterdam is once again the mecca for people who care passionately about one particular plant-though this time the obsession revolves around the intoxicating effects of marijuana rather than the visual beauty of the tulip. How could flowers, of all things, become such objects of desire that they drive men to financial ruin? In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan argues that the answer lies at the heart of the intimately reciprocal relationship between people & plants. In telling the stories of four familiar plant species that are deeply woven into the fabric of our lives, Pollan illustrates how they evolved to satisfy humankind's most basic yearnings- & by doing so made themselves indispensable. For, just as we've benefited from these plants, the plants, in the grand co-evolutionary scheme that Pollan evokes so brilliantly, have done well by us. The sweetness of apples, for example, induced the early Americans to spread the species, giving the tree a whole new continent in which to blossom. So who is really domesticating whom? Weaving fascinating anecdotes & accessible science into gorgeous prose, Pollan takes us on an absorbing journey that will change the way we think about our place in nature.

Lenovo to add 115 jobs, make personal computers in Whitsett
China-based Lenovo will make some of its personal computers in the United States, adding 115 jobs to its Guilford County facility by early 2013.
The computers will be made at its 240,000 square-foot facility in Whitsett, about 10 miles east of Greensboro. Hiring is expected to begin later this year, company officials and Gov. Bev Perdue announced Tuesday in Morrisville.
Workers will build Thinkpad notebooks and Think-branded desktops for the consumer, business, government and education sectors. Thinkpad is a former trademark of IBM, who sold its PC business to Lenovo in 2005.
The Whitsett facility is currently undergoing an expansion to support the new production line.
Currently, Lenovo PCs are made overseas and shipped to American customers. Yuanqing Yang, chairman and CEO of Lenovo, explained the reason for establishing a domestic production line in a statement:
Lenovo is establishing a U.S. manufacturing base because we believe in the long-term strength of the American PC market and our own growth opportunities here. As Lenovo expands globally, we are establishing even deeper roots in each major market.
Company officials also said they believe an American facility will help them get products to domestic customers more quickly and reliably.
Lenovo company employs more than 2,000 people in North Carolina. Its United States headquarters is located in Research Triangle Park.

Yemen clash kills 4 troops, 13 suspected militants
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Clashes in Yemen between the army and al-Qaida's local branch killed at least 13 suspected militants and four troops Saturday, military officials said.
The officials said the fighting started in the early hours when a suicide car bomber attacked a military camp in the city of al-Qatn in the southern province of Hadramawt. Militants then assaulted the camp, prompting a gunbattle that lasted for more than an hour that killed 10 suspected militants and four troops.
The army also fired artillery at a nearby home believed to hide al-Qaida fighters, killing three suspected militants inside, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
The U.S. considers Yemen's al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula the most dangerous branch of the group in the world. The U.S. provides assistance to Yemen's security forces and carries out drone strikes in the country against suspected militants.
Besides the al-Qaida offshoot in the south, the government has been facing a standoff with a powerful Shiite rebel group based in the north that has battled the government and ultraconservative Islamists for years.
For two weeks, authorities have been on alert, and the country's top security body has warned of Hawthi rebels carrying arms, taking positions on rooftops and setting up tents near at least three ministries. The group has been demanding a new government and the reinstatement of fuel subsidies.
On Saturday, President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi appealed to the group to end its sit-in in the capital, and said he will send one more time a presidential delegation to the north to resume talks over ways to end the standoff.
Presidential aide Fares al-Sakaf told The Associated Press the delegation will hold talks with rebel representatives for four more days. Previous rounds of talks failed to diffuse the crisis.

I love how the plastic tie barely fits around her (very slim woman). Anyone slightly over weight or male has absolutely no hope... I mostly tell my patients not to bother with the tie because I come in and they have to tie it so tight they can't breathe.

I have to admit to being highly amused- The last time I had to wear a hospital gown it was of cloth like material with some funky heater vents and a very nice, secure tie.
Granted, when I woke up I was in the typical, thin cloth one that makes it very easy to flash all who stand behind me...

I have to know where you found that lovely little gown so I can make my doctor order some! Heaven knows I'd gladly see the doctor more often if I looked that good in a hospital gown!

Well that's pretty, but I suspect that particular woman would look good even if she was dressed in flour bags.

I love the doctors who have cloth gowns. also have to be somewhat better for the environment, I'd think, even if they are a little less convenient.

The Sacred Heart School in Chiang Mai, Thailand recently had a "sports day," in which students divided up into teams named after different colors. Just like schools in the U.S.! Except that one of the teams at Sacred Heart also dressed up like Nazis.
You see, there was a team parade component of the sports day activities. And one team was the color red. And when you think "red" and "parades," what do you think of first? Exactly. The Simon Wiesenthal Center was not pleased:
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said the images made it clear that the event could not have taken place without the knowledge and cooperation of the school administration.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center urged those responsible for the school to take immediate action against the individuals who promoted and facilitated the event.
Cooper said that a similar parade took place in 2007 at a school in Bangkok in which 200 students participated, and that more recently, members of Thai rock band Slur donned Nazi uniforms in a music video.
The school posted an apology on its website, and sent a letter to the Israeli embassy. (The ambassador graciously accepted the apology, saying he believes "it was done out of ignorance, not out of bad intentions.") L'shana tova, everyone!

text: sherwinelioreg21 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 does anyone of you here have an idea of Ben Frank's kite? .....experiment was successfully performed by Thomas Francois D'Alibard of France in May 1752 when sparks were observed to jump from the iron rod during a thunderstorm. G. W. Richmann, a Swedish physicist working in Russia during July 1753, proved that thunderclouds contain electrical charge, and was killed when lightning struck him. Before Franklin accomplished his original experiment, he thought of a better way to prove his hypothesis through the use of a kite. The kite took the place of the iron rod, since it could reach a greater elevation and could be flown anywhere. During a Pennsylvania thunderstorm in 1752 the most famous kite in history flew with sparks jumping from a key tied to the bottom of damp kite string to an insulating silk ribbon tied to the knuckles of Franklin's hand. Franklin's grounded body provided a conducting path for the electrical currents responding to the strong electric field buildup in the storm clouds. well, of course, all of us does not want to play with our kites under a thuderstorm conditions, but who knows, may be someone have been surprised by sparkles between kite parts?

The city of Coos Bay will consider allowing wind turbines in town.
The World of Coos Bay reports that turbines have been under a moratorium and the city hasn't made much progress on the issue in the past two years.
But the City Council plans to take public comment in February or March, and it has an online survey on its website.
The draft ordinance would allow turbines no taller than 70 feet — much shorter than industrial wind turbines that are more than 250 feet.
'What we would need is an ordinance to limit any negative impacts to neighbors," said Laura Barron, the city's planning administrator.
For large turbines, residents would have to show that noise would be minimal, viewsheds would not be disturbed and the device would meet tough safety standards. Restrictions would be reduced for smaller devices.
Some new technology doesn't require huge towers. Micro wind turbines being tested and used around the country can be mounted on rooftops and the edges of buildings.
"The thing people are most concerned about is the visual impact," said Ted Brekken, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Oregon State University. 'If your neighbor puts up a 70-foot wind turbine, that is as high as a seven story building."
Wind is slowed dramatically by hills, trees and buildings, all of which abound in Coos Bay, and wind is more powerful at higher elevations.
"The short answer is, (wind power) doesn't work well in an urban setting," Brekken said. 'If the city allowed it, you could build it. But it will produce a tiny fraction of the amount of power its industrial brothers will produce."

If you'd like to recreate it, or make your own version, here's what you'll need:
A mason jar
Construction paper
Wrapped Candies
Double sided tape (or rolled tape or glue)
Ribbon or string if you want to decorate
1. Start by cutting your paper into strips and then pass out the strips and markers so everyone can write little messages on the strips of paper. You can tell them why you love them, what you love about them, or funny or happy memories you have with them.
2. Put double sided tape (or rolled tape or glue) on the bottom of your wrapped candies and attach one to the end of each strip of paper.
4. Arrange your strips of paper inside of the jar, and decorate as you like, with ribbon or string. We found this cute jar with the chalkboard label at the dollar store and wrote our friend's name on it with a chalk pen. I really liked the way it turned out!
Of course you could adjust the colours and make it more rainbow-y or Christmas-y or fit it in with a party theme. I think we'll use this idea again!

Hillary Clinton has more tests, 'is much better'
Former President Bill Clinton says his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, has undergone more medical tests but is "doing much better."
He made the remarks Monday to New York Congressman Peter King. The two men spoke in front of reporters outside the funeral of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch.
Clinton said his wife had five hours of tests on Sunday and was told to "take it easy for another month."
He said if her progress continues, "she'll be completely recovered."
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said Sunday's tests comprised a long-scheduled, routine follow-up. He said Hillary Clinton is in good condition but wouldn't provide further details.
She suffered a concussion in December, then doctors found a blood clot.
The former secretary of state has a new website called https://hillaryclintonoffice.com/ that allows the public to contact her office with scheduling requests, media inquiries or other requests.
Her old campaign web site, https://www.hillaryclinton.com/ , directs viewers to the new office website.

With Internet Explorer 8 out for almost two months now, Microsoft has decided to ask the testers in the now closed Internet Explorer 8 Technical Beta program to start giving suggestions for the next version. IE9 is currently in the research phase, though I'm sure some early builds have already been compiled. This week, the software giant sent an e-mail to its testers with the following information:
We have added a new feedback form on Connect designed specifically to handle improvements for the next version of Internet Explorer. This includes not just feature requests, but all types of feedback including issues that currently exist in IE. Please continue to rate the submissions since we will look at the top rated reports first. Please be patient with the resolution of the reports you submit as we are in the research phase for the next version of IE. To shed some light on the status of your submissions, we'll use a new field, Review Status, which will indicate whether we have reviewed the issue or not.
So far, there are only 10 suggestions made on the Microsoft Connect IE page:

Model: BioWeigh-USB
The new BioWeigh-USB body composition scale from American Weigh allows you view a complete breakdown of your body fat, water, muscle, and bone. The scale works on the principle of BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis). By passing a safe electrical current through your body via the metal contacts and using weight, height, and age data, your lean/fat-free body mass is calculated. This is then subtracted from your body weight to obtain body fat mass. You can use the included USB cable and WeighTrak software to upload your scale's stored data to a PC.
Note: Although the scale uses a safe electrical current, those with pacemakers or other electronic implants should not use this scales body fat feature.
WeighTrak Software and Cable included

First off, a little context: My radio career began at WCUW in Worcester in 1977. A special feature for Paul Butterfield's 35th birthday occasioned my guest appearance on a Sunday evening show at the community-licensed station near the Clark University campus. Shortly thereafter, I was asked to host a weekday jazz format, and in due course I discovered my calling.
I worked full-time at 'CUW over the next three years, then transitioned to hosting weekend R&B shows after I returned to UMass in 1981 to complete my bachelor's degree. During this period, I began listening to a couple of weekly jazz programs on WFCR, a Thursday evening series called "Milestones," and a Saturday night show called "Our Delights." The names of the shows, and their theme songs, the former by Miles Davis, the latter by Tadd Dameron, bespoke a familiarity with modern jazz that promised quality radio.
Marion Brown, the late saxophonist and artist who made his home in the area for many years, turned me on to "Milestones," which for him was required listening. WFCR gave the show good promotion, so Marion would often excitedly call to tell me what was coming up that Thursday. Thanks to him, I too made a weekly appointment with the radio, often the table-top in Marion's kitchen, to hear features on a wide range of jazz players, all smartly programmed and presented. There were also special features on songs and standards, the most memorable of which was, "They All Played Stardust." Sometime during this period, 'FCR also produced a year-long series devoted to Duke Ellington which was syndicated nationwide. Ellington had been my musical passion for over a decade at that point, and "Ellingtonia" enhanced it considerably.
The host of these shows was John Montanari, whom I'd also come to appreciate as one of the voices of WFCR's classical music programming. John's knowledge of both jazz and classical music was readily apparent in the ease with which he provided historical context and commentary on composers, conductors, and players. As it turned out, he also wore the hat of music director (and would for three decades), and in that capacity he was the man I addressed when I wrote to the station in 1983 about a job. John's reply, which began with a memorable apology for being "amazingly belated," led promptly to my succeeding him as host of "Our Delights."
That was in January 1984, and since then I've come to share with John a mutually rewarding history that we've made the most of for 30 years. I'll remain grateful to John for working to keep this arrangement fresh and lively, witty and edgy, and for entrusting me with the autonomy to produce Jazz à la Mode as I've seen fit. I can't imagine doing it any other way, but I know how rare it is in radio to be able to do anything à la mode. Thanks for having my back, John.
Like myself, John began blogging for New England Public Radio in 2011, and I like to think we've helped pace and inspire each other. John is the model of a man who's true to himself, and that's not only informed his confident air as a radio host, but his informed, provocative, and occasionally argumentative prose as well. Write on, John.
Today is John's last day on the job at WFCR. We've known it was coming for about a year, so the station is poised to maintain its classical music programming with another veteran colleague, Walter Carroll, and some new voices as well. But it's for certain that we won't hear the likes of John Montanari again.
While I look forward to hanging with John in the months and years ahead, I'll miss his presence 'round the office more than I can say. Some of what I'll miss are his chauvinistic claims for the Yankees, which always begged the question, can one be good-natured and deadly serious at the same time? I'll also miss his often unsolicited, yet engaging thoughts on an impressive range of weighty cultural matters like Pulitzer nominees; Sondheim productions; the aloofness of classical music critics at the major dailies; and the making of a good roux.
I'll miss hearing him scat the melodies of any number of jazz tunes, and classic solos by Hawk, Prez, Bird, and Big T at the drop of a hat. I'll miss his variations on the litanies of the saints, you know, the personnel of the Elllington band in 1935, or the starting lineups of ball clubs besides the Bronx Bombers. I'll also miss our conversations on the thornier issues facing those of us privileged with maintaining jazz and classical music on the radio; there's been virtually no dispute between us on that subject. And I'll miss making common cause with a classical music maven whose recent blog, Giving Thanks, gave singular prominence to Louis Armstrong, "for everything."
For that, and a whole lot of wisecracking, teasing, and off-color banter, thanks for keeping it real, John M.

The Railroad Revival Tour has run off the tracks.
The cross-country tour featuring Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Band of Horses and John C. Reilly has been canceled by organizers.

'Trouble' means call to action
Jeanette Marsella is an early riser.
A resident of the senior citizen apartment building on the Post Road in downtown Fairfield, next to St. Thomas Aquinas Church, she was up, as usual, at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30, in the middle of Hurricane Sandy.
The building, with 14 residents, had been without power since Monday night when Hurricane Sandy hit with its greatest force. But when the power went out, an emergency lighting system in the hall came on.
But at 4 a.m. Tuesday, when she opened her apartment door, even the emergency lights were out.
"I thought, `This is not good,' " the 80-year-old Marsella said the other day. "It was pitch black."
After a while, she roused another resident, Anthony Dinzeo, so they could consider what to do next.
They went down to the building's lobby, where a wall-mounted fire-alarm system monitor glowed with the word "Trouble."
"Let's go for a ride," Marsella said to Dinzeo. At first light, with 88-year-old Dinzeo riding shotgun, Marsella set out in her Buick to find out what they should do. Their first stop was Fairfield Fire Headquarters on Reef Road.
"A nice young man talked to us and we told him what the problem was," Marsella recalled.
They returned home and shortly took a phone call from Al Menillo, an inspector in the Fire Marshal's division of the department. Menillo told them he was going to establish a fire watch at the building for Tuesday night. And that night two firefighters were stationed at the building with flashlights and emergency equipment.
The fire watch was needed for only a few hours because the power came back on.
Marsella was so grateful for the help that she called the Connecticut Post to tell the story. She knew only that the man who'd arranged for the protection was named Al and had an Italian last name.
It didn't take long to track down Menillo, a decorated Marine and a 42-year-veteran of the department. Menillo, incidentally, retired on Nov. 2. He clearly wasn't coasting into retirement. Reached at home, Menillo said he was just doing his job. Marsella, he said, was the extraordinary performer.
"The storm was still going on and here she is out looking for help for her neighbors," he said.

Pittsburgh-area jobs tied to fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden
USIS may have botched background check; could lose $200 million contract
More than a thousand jobs in the Pittsburgh area may be tied to the fate of fugitive National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
USIS -- the company that did Snowden's background check -- has a major presence in Western Pennsylvania. The company is now under fire from members of Congress and government investigators.
USIS does background checks on 2 million government employees per year. One of them was Snowden, who is now on the run after leaking a trove of secret government data.
A former USIS employee told WTAE he is not surprised the company is in trouble.
Downtown Grove City is thriving, and locals say much of the credit goes to USIS. The company employs 700 people at two locations in Grove City and another 800 people at nearby Iron Mountain.
Nonni's Corner Trattoria gets plenty of business from USIS employees and contractors. Lately, they've been talking about the Snowden case and the potential impact on their future.
"When you're talking about your own livelihood and how many people work there, it's natural that it's on people's minds, and it's something that they talk about," said owner Dave Valenza.
Government investigators are not saying exactly what USIS may have missed when it was background checking Snowden.
Last month, the Washington Post reported the inspector general at the federal Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, wants to pull the plug on its $200 million contract with USIS unless the company can show it's performing responsibly.
How big an impact would that have in Grove City? "It certainly is a valid concern with 700 individuals employed here," Mayor Randy Riddle said.
The problems at USIS apparently did not begin with Snowden. The inspector general for the federal government's personnel office recently told Congress he's been investigating the company for the past year and a half.
Court records show that in the past five years, eight USIS employees have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to falsifying background checks.
"Do you believe you're catching most of the fraud, Mr. McFarland, or do you believe there's more?" asked Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
"I believe there may be considerably more," said Inspector General Patrick McFarland.
A former USIS employee said he never saw fraud, but he said there were other problems at the company. He did not want to be identified because he does not want to jeopardize his chances of working with another security company.
What was his reaction when he first heard about the Snowden case? "I felt that OPM had thrown USIS under the bus," the former employee said. "However, with everything that goes on in the process and how many hands handle it, it could have been that something was missed."
He said he was required to review up to 200 cases per day. "A lot of times it was push, push, push to get everything out with this one-day turnaround," the former employee said. "I've had cases that are 160 pages, so there's so much information, so many details that it's not surprising something could fall through the cracks, even with a team of people working on it."
A spokesman for USIS declined any comment on the investigation or anything else related to the company.
In June, USIS issued a statement saying it received a subpoena in January 2012 from the inspector general and it "complied with that subpoena and has cooperated fully with the government's civil investigative efforts." USIS said that investigation is unrelated to Snowden.
U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., whose district includes the USIS facilities in Western Pennsylvania, said it's a good company, and the federal government should not rush to yank its contract because of Snowden.
"People try to make political gain out of something very serious," Kelly said. "I would say, 'You know what? Let's keep your powder dry, let's see what happened.' I think we're kind of jumping the gun on it."
It is unclear when the inspector general will finish his investigation into USIS. A bipartisan group of senators has filed a bill calling for more scrutiny of USIS and other companies that do background checks.

When the Beckham's announced they would be moving to Hollywood there was a lot of speculation on how they would fit in or if they would hold up their celebrity status.
On Sunday the 3rd of June 2007, Victoria Beckham arrived at the MTV Movie Awards with a new hairdo. This new 'do became the biggest thing since 'The Rachael', worn by Jennifer Aniston in the '90s.
The concave bob has been around for years but it wasn't until Victoria stepped out with her new hairstyle that it caused such a massive stir throughout the world. Ladies everywhere fell in love with this style and began getting in on the hot hairstyle action.
Victoria Beckham's Bob: Front
The front of the hairstyle shows off asymmetrical lengths and the right side is much longer then the left. The left side part has slight bangs which fall to the right where it blends into a longer length which goes down to chin level, giving the front of the hair length and also a feminine touch. A textured finish adds a piecey look and also a voluminous finish. The front of the hair is foiled with light and golden pieces which gives Victoria a sun kissed look, perfect for her new Hollywood location.
Victoria Beckham's Bob: Back
From the back, the style looks totally different then the front. From the back hairline the hair is graduated up with heavily chipped into ends which add a very textured but blending finish. From the crown to the top-back part of the neck the lengths are sliced to carry on a textured and full finish. At the very bottom to the mid back the color of the hair is a dark golden blonde, and from the crown to the mid back, the hair has blonde foils which have a piecey finish on top of the darker blonde.
Victoria Beckham's Bob: Right Side
The right side is the feature side where the concaved effect is most prominent. The right sides length flows down with the jaw line, blending from short textured lengths to longer piecey strands at the very front. The right side shows that various blonde shades through the hair gives the hair a natural blonde finish. The longer pieces feature blonder highlights to help frame the longer pieces at the front.
Victoria Beckham's Bob: Left Side
The left hand side has the graduating short textured lengths but the front has jaw line graduated length which sits neatly tucked behind the ears, leaving the right side to be the main feature with its longer length. The shorter side looks very natural, with the darker tone from the back showing at the very back sides and following up to lighter tones at the top where the blonde highlights give the hair a sun kissed finish.

Amanda is a third-year student at the University of Toronto, double majoring in Cinema Studies and English Literature. She often prays to the heavens for marketable skills to balance out this decision.
From an early age, Amanda seemed to be on the cutting edge of writing. Her earliest work, How the Snake Lost Its Legs, circa 5th grade, was banned from the classroom for excessive violence and snake attacks.
She has dealt with censorship her entire life.
Amanda can be found wondering the streets of Toronto while practicing her catchphrase, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I offended you.
She might also be found playing the piano in the midst of a creative block, since that's kind of what Sherlock Holmes did.
Recently taken on as an intern at TrendHunter, Amanda would like to thank the cast of The Avengers, in all their humble, god-like good looks, for taking pity on a poor soul.
Amanda would like to extend the offer of contacting her via any of the numerous digital portals, including her blog (as she still believes it's the early 2000s).
Peace out, and don't be shy.
