I've got a troll problem. I've banned their originating IPs, but now they're spoofing their IPs and posting complaint after complaint about being banned. Is there an effective way to deal with this???
I'd appreciate some advice as having to moderate everyone because of a few seems unfair to the majority.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Couple of things:
1. Not sure why OS 6 was released if all apps were not OS 6 compatible. I used the following religiously on my Bold 900:
Quick Launch
AT&T Code Scanner
Scanner Radio
These are not compatible with OS 6 I guess because on my Torch they are in the 'Unavailable' section of 'My World' in AppWorld.
2. Also, do I have to create a Blackberry ID when I can log into my PayPal account thru AppWorld?
3. And there was a version 4.04 of QuickPull and I was having trouble with it and when I uninstalled it, I can't reinstall it because in AppWorld it only has version 4.03. I tried getting 4.04 from the Steelhorn site, but they don't even list it as 4.04 only 4.03. How do I get this app back?
4. Can't get my purchased version of WhatsApp to work either. It says its compatible but it won't finish the 'connecting' part.
Will post more questions as they arise. Thanks for your help!
1. Errr... because there are thousands of apps out there. I'm glad RIM does not get held hostage by the hundreds of developes out there making apps.
2. Yep, If you want to use the new AppWorld login.
3. Did you make a backup of the 4.04 version?
4. Not sure here... I'd say delete and reinstall, doing a powered on battery pull in between.

Ok, I agree there are thousands of apps out there in appworld 2, but how do i know which ones are compatible with the torch or os6? Does the new desktop manager software have a way of telling you which ones are compatible or an interface to app world?
I wanted to find out if it is neccessary to create a blackberry id OR just login to my PayPal account??
I have tried resinstalling WhatsApp...no workey.
Yes there is a backup. I did not think of using that. Thank you for the idea.
Thank you for your help.
You need to create a BlackBerry ID now.

State of Drupal 2016 survey
I've been writing a lot about what I believe is important for the future of Drupal, but now it is your turn. After every major release of Drupal I do a "product management survey" to get your ideas and data on what to focus on for future releases of Drupal (8.x/9).
The last time we had such a survey was after the release of Drupal 7, six months into the development of Drupal 8. I presented the results at DrupalCon London in 2011. The results informed the Drupal community at large, but were also the basis for defining initiatives for Drupal 8. This time around, I'm hoping for similar impact, but also some higher-level strategic thinking about how Drupal should respond to various market trends.
Take the State of Drupal 2016 survey now
It shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to fill out the survey. We'd like to hear from everyone who cares about Drupal: content managers, site owners, site builders, module developers, front-end developers, people selling and marketing Drupal, etc. Whether you are a Drupal expert or just getting started with Drupal, every voice counts! Best of all, with Drupal 8's new 6-month release cycle, we can act on the results of this survey much sooner than in the past.
I will be presenting the results during my DrupalCon New Orleans keynote (the video recording of the keynote, the presentation slides and the survey results will be downloadable on my blog after). Please tell us what you think about Drupal; your feedback will shape future versions of Drupal.
Improving Drupal's content workflow
At DrupalCon Mumbai I sat down for several hours with the Drupal team at Pfizer to understand the work they have been doing on improving Drupal content management features. They built a set of foundational modules that help advance Drupal's content workflow capabilities; from content staging, to multi-site content staging, to better auditability, offline support, and several key user experience improvements like full-site preview, and more. In this post, I want to point a spotlight on some of Pfizer's modules, and kick-off an initial discussion around the usefulness of including some of these features in core.
Use cases
Before jumping to the technical details, let's talk a bit more about the problems these modules are solving.
- Cross-site content staging — In this case you want to synchronize content from one site to another. The first site may be a staging site where content editors make changes. The second site may be the live production site. Changes are previewed on the stage site and then pushed to the production site. More complex workflows could involve multiple staging environments like multiple sites publishing into a single master site.
- Content branching — For a new product launch you might want to prepare a version of your site with a new section on the site featuring the new product. The new section would introduce several new pages, updates to existing pages, and new menu items. You want to be able to build out the updated version in a self-contained 'branch' and merge all the changes as a whole when the product is ready to launch. In an election case scenario, you might want to prepare multiple sections; one for each candidate that could win.
- Preview your site — When you're building out a new section on your site for launch, you want to preview your entire site, as it will look on the day it goes live. This is effectively content staging on a single site.
- Offline browse and publish — Here is a use-case that Pfizer is trying to solve. A sales rep goes to a hospital and needs access to information when there is no wi-fi or a slow connection. The site should be fully functional in offline mode and any changes or forms submitted, should automatically sync and resolve conflicts when the connection is restored.
- Content recovery — Even with confirmation dialogs, people delete things they didn't want to delete. This case is about giving users the ability to "undelete" or recover content that has been deleted from their database.
- Audit logs — For compliance reasons, some organizations need all content revisions to be logged, with the ability to review content that has been deleted and connect each action to a specific user so that employees are accountable for their actions in the CMS.
Technical details
All these use cases share a few key traits:
- Content needs to be synchronized from one place to another, e.g. from workspace to workspace, from site to site or from frontend to backend
- Full revision history needs to be kept
- Content revision conflicts needs to be tracked
Much of this started as a single module: Deploy. The Deploy module was first created by Greg Dunlap for Drupal 6 in 2008 for a customer of Palantir. In 2012, Greg handed over maintainership to Dick Olsson. Dick continued to improve Deploy module for Al Jazeera while working at Node One. Later, Dave Hall created a second Drupal 7 version which more significant improvements based on feedback from different users. Today, both Dick and Dave work for Pfizer and have continued to include lessons learned in the Drupal 8 version of the module. After years of experience working on Deploy module and various redesigns, the team has extracted the functionality in a set of modules:
This module does three things: (1) it adds revision support for all content entities in Drupal, not just nodes and block content as provided by core, and (2) it introduces the concept of parent revisions so you can create different branches of your content or site, and (3) it keeps track of conflicts in the revision tree (e.g. when two revisions share the same parent). Many of these features complement the ongoing improvements to Drupal's Entity API.
Built on top of Multiversion module, this lightweight module reads revision information stored by Multiversion, and uses that to determine what revisions are missing from a given location and lets you replicate content between a source and a target location. The next two modules, Workspace and RELAXed Web Services depend on replication module.
This module enables single site content staging and full-site previews. The UI lets you create workspaces and switch between them. With Replication module different workspaces on the same site can behave like different editorial environments.
RELAXed Web Services
This module facilitates cross-site content staging. It provides a more extensive REST API for Drupal with support for UUIDs, translations, file attachments and parent revisions — all important to solve unique challenges with content staging (e.g. UUID and revision information is needed to resolve merge conflicts). The RELAXed Web Services module extends the Replication module and makes it possible to replicate content from local workspaces to workspaces on remote sites using this API.
In short, Multiversion provides the "storage plumbing", whereas Replication, Workspace, and RELAXed Web Services, provide the "transport plumbing".
Historically Deploy module has taken care of everything from bottom to top related to content staging. But for Drupal 8 Deploy has been rewritten to just provide a UI on-top of the Workspace and Replication modules. This UI lets you manage content deployments between workspaces on a single site, or between workspaces across sites (if used together with RELAXed Web Services module). The maintainers of the Deploy module have put together a marketing site with more details on what it does: http://www.drupaldeploy.org.
To handle use case #5 (content recovery) the Trash module was implemented to restore entities marked as deleted. Much like a desktop trash or recycle bin, the module displays all entities from all supported content types where the default revision is flagged as deleted. Restoring creates a newer revision, which is not flagged as deleted.
Synchronizing sites with a battle-tested API
Drupal 8.0 core packed many great improvements, but we didn't focus much on advancing Drupal's content workflow capabilities. As we think about Drupal 8.x and beyond, it might be good to move some of our focus to features like content staging, better audit-ability, off-line support, full-site preview, and more. If you are a content manager, I'd love to hear what you think about better supporting some or all of these use cases. And if you are a developer, I encourage you to take a look at these modules, try them out and let us know what you think.

Examples of how to make Drupal "outside-in"
The authoring experience improvements we made in Drupal 8 appear to be well-received, but that doesn't mean we are done. With semantic versioning in Drupal 8, we can now make more UX changes in follow-up releases of Drupal 8. So now is a good time to start moving Drupal's user experience forward.
The goal of this post is to advance the conversation we started over a month ago in a blog post talking about the concept of turning Drupal outside-in. In today's blog post, we'll show concrete examples of how we could make site building in Drupal easier by embracing the concept of outside-in. We hope to provide inspiration to designers, core contributors and module maintainers for how we can improve the user experience of Drupal 8.2 and beyond.
What is outside-in?
In Drupal you often have to build things from the ground up. If you want to make a list of events you need to wade through 20 different menu options to a user interface with configuration options like "boolean" and "float", build a content type, content, and then a view. Essentially you need to understand everything before you can build anything.
In an "outside-in" experience – or what Kevin OLeary (Director of Design on my team at Acquia) calls Literal UI – you can click anything on the page, edit its configuration in-place, and watch it take effect immediately.
Over the past few years Drupal has adopted a more outside-in approach, the most obvious example being Drupal 8's in-place editing. It enables you to edit what you see with an uninterrupted workflow, faster preview, and removes the need to visit the administration backend before you can start editing.
To evaluate how outside-in can be applied more broadly in order to make Drupal easier to use, Kevin created a few animated gifs.
Example #1: editing menu items
The current inside-out experience
Editing menu options in Drupal has already become more outside-in with contextual links. The contextual links take away some of the guesswork of finding the proper administration UI, but once you arrive at the configuration page there is still a lot of stuff to take in, only some of which is relevant to this task.
Anyone familiar with Drupal will recognize the pattern above; you go to an administration UI, make some changes, than you go back to the page to see if it worked. This context switching creates what UX people call "cognitive load". On an administration page you need to remember what was on the site page and vice-versa.
To complete this task you need to:
- Find the contextual link for the menu (not simple since it's on the far side of the page)
- Choose the correct option "edit menu"
- Find and click the "add link" button
- Type the menu link name
- Type the menu link path beginning with a forward slash
- Understand that this change needs to be saved
- Scroll to the bottom of the page
- Save the link
- Find the link in the list of links
- Understand that dragging up/down in this abstraction is equivalent to moving right/left in that actual page
- Scroll to the bottom of the page
- Save the menu
The problem is not just that there are too many pages, clicks, or words, it's that each step away from the actual page introduces new opportunities for confusion, error and repetition. In user testing, we have seen users who were unable to find the contextual link, or to understand which option to choose, or to find the "add link" button, or to add a path, or drag-drop links, or to save before leaving the UI. When these things happen in context, feedback about whether you are "doing it right" is immediate.
The proposed outside-in experience
Now all you need to do is:
- Click the menu on the page
- Find and click the "add link" button
- Type the name of the menu item
- Revise the menu item's path if needed
- Drag the link to its new location
- Close the drawer
One important aspect of this approach is that all actions that produce a visible change have bi-directional control and bi-directional feedback. In other words, if you can drag something in the configuration drawer you should also be able to drag it on the page, and the changes should happen simultaneously.
Example #2: adding a block to a page
The current inside-out experience
The process of placing a block on a page can be difficult. Once you discover where to go to add a block, which is in itself a challenge, the experience requires a lot of reading and learning, as well as trial and error.
To complete this task you need to:
- Figure out where to go to place a block
- Go to /block-layout
- Go to /display-regions to find out where the region is on the page
- Go back to /block-layout
- Find the region and click "add block"
- Find the block you want to place and click "place block"
- Configure the block
- Read about how blocks can appear on multiple pages and for different content types and roles
- Read what content types are
- Read what roles are
- Read what a "path" is
- Read how to find the path for a page
- Go back to the page and get its path
- Go back to /block-layout and add the path to the visibility settings
- Drag your block to the position where you want it
- If your blocks are arranged horizontally, learn that "up and down" in the block layout UI will mean "left and right" on the actual page
- Find the"back to site" link
- Go back to the page to see if you did it right
Eventually you'll use what you just learned, but Drupal makes you learn it first instead of just showing what is immediately necessary. Both the task and the learning can be simplified by bringing the configuration closer to the object you are configuring.
The proposed outside-in experience
Now all you need to do is:
- Choose where to place the block
- Find the block you want to place
- Place the block
- Close the drawer
The "plus" button, the drop target (blue dotted rectangle) and the autocomplete are all commonly understood patterns used by other software. The task requires no or little explanation as the interactions reveal the process. By starting with selecting the location of where to place the block, we avoid the need for drag-and-drop and the complexity of dragging a block on a page that requires scrolling.
Principles and patterns
These examples show the principle that rather than taking the site builder to a separate administration backend, the experience should begin with the actual page and show how the changes will be seen by the end-user. The patterns shown here are less important. For example, the animated gifs above show two different approaches to the options panel and there are certainly others. The important thing is not yet where the panel comes from or how it looks, but that the following criteria are met:
- An option panel is triggered by direct interaction.
- When triggered it only shows options for what you selected.
- It primarily shows configuration options that produce a visible change to the page. More complex options could be accessed through an 'Advanced options' link.
The ideas in this post are meant to provide some food for thought and become the seed of some patches for Drupal 8.2. Rather than dive right into development, we're looking to the Drupal community to take these designs as a starting point to prototype and user-test more outside-in experiences in Drupal.
The next post in this series will cover outside-in experiences with more complex contexts and the problem of "leaky abstractions". If you don't want to miss the next blog post, make sure to subscribe. In the mean time, I'd love to hear what you think!

State of Drupal presentation (February 2016)
I was excited to travel to India a few months ago for DrupalCon, an area where we have a really big opportunity for the growth of Drupal. In keeping with tradition, here are the slides and video from my keynote presentation. You can watch the recording of my keynote (starting at 20:15) or download a copy of my slides (PDF, 158 MB).
The main areas of focus for the talk included Drupal's rapid growth and progress in India, key technology trends driving the future of the web, and how Drupal is responding to these trends. As a call-to-action, I encouraged Drupalists in India to form grassroots communities locally, to become a part of the larger Drupal community conversation, and to port modules from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 to accelerate its adoption.
Have a look and as always, feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments!
How should you decouple Drupal?
There is a lot of hype around decoupled architectures, so before embarking on a project, it is important to make a balanced analysis. Your choice of architecture has implications on your budget, your team, time to launch, the flexibility for content creators, the ongoing maintenance of your website, and more. In this blog post, I'd like to share a flowchart that can help you decide when to use what technology.
This flowchart shows three things:
First, using coupled Drupal is a perfectly valid option for those who don't need extensive client-side rendering and state management. In this case, you would use Drupal's built-in Twig templating system rather than heavily relying on a JavaScript framework. You would use jQuery to take advantage of limited JavaScript where necessary. Also, with BigPipe in Drupal 8.1, certain use cases that typically needed asynchronous JavaScript can now be done in PHP without slowing down the page (i.e. communication with an external web service delaying the display of user-specific real-time data). The advantage of this approach is that content marketers are not blocked by front-end developers as they assemble their user experiences, thus shortening time to market and reducing investment in ongoing developer support.
Second, if you want all of the benefits of a JavaScript framework without completely bypassing Drupal's HTML generation and all that you get with it, I recommend using progressively decoupled Drupal. With progressive decoupling, you start with Drupal's HTML output, and then use a JavaScript framework to add client-side interactivity on the client side. One of the most visited sites in the world, The Weather Channel (100 million unique visitors per month), does precisely this with Angular 1 layered on top of Drupal 7. In this case, you can enjoy the benefits of having a "decoupled" team made up of both Drupal and JavaScript developers progressing at their own velocities. JavaScript developers can build richly interactive experiences while leaving content marketers free to assemble those experiences without needing a developer's involvement.
Third, whereas fully decoupled Drupal makes a lot of sense when building native applications, for most websites, the leap to fully decoupling is not strictly necessary, though a growing number of people prefer using JavaScript these days. Advantages include some level of independence on the underlying CMS, the ability to tap into a rich toolset around JavaScript (e.g. Babel, Webpack, etc.) and a community of JavaScript front-end professionals. But if you are using a universal JavaScript approach with Drupal, it's also important to consider the drawbacks: you need to ask yourself if you're ready to add more complexity to your technology stack and possibly forgo functionality provided by a more integrated content delivery system, such as layout and display management, user interface localization, and more. Losing that functionality can be costly, increase your dependence on a developer team, and hinder the end-to-end content assembly experience your marketing team expects, among other things.
It's worth noting that over time we are likely to see better integrations between Drupal and the different JavaScript frameworks (e.g. Drupal modules that export their configuration, and SDKs for different JavaScript frameworks that use that configuration on the client-side). When those integrations mature, I expect more people will move towards fully decoupled Drupal.
To be performant, fully decoupled websites using JavaScript employ Node.js on the server to improve initial performance, but in the case of Drupal this is not necessary, as Drupal can do the server-side pre-rendering for you. Many JavaScript developers opt to use Node.js for the convenience of shared rendering across server and client rather than for the specific things that Node.js excels in, like real-time push, concurrent connections, and bidirectional client-server communication. In other words, most Drupal websites don't need Node.js.
In practice, I believe many organizations want to use all of these content delivery options. In certain cases, you want to let your content management system render the experience so you can take full advantage of its features with minimal or no development effort (coupled architecture). But when you need to build a website that needs a much more interactive experience or that integrates with unique devices (i.e. on in-store touch screens), you should be able to use that same content management system's content API (decoupled architecture). Fortunately, Drupal allows you to use either. The beauty of choosing from the spectrum of fully decoupled Drupal, progressively decoupled Drupal, and coupled Drupal is that you can do what makes the most sense in each situation.
Special thanks to Preston So, Alex Bronstein and Wim Leers for their contributions to this blog post. We created at least 10 versions of this flowchart before settling on this one.

Blizzard food at its best. This buttery crusted pie, filled with rib-sticking pork, will fortify you for any winter's night.
Leave a Review
Fantastic recipe! I suggest making the filling the day before; then; you can scoop the cooled filling into the pie crust. There was plenty of the savory pork filling, but I was able to fit it into a 9" pie pan and so it made a very substantial pie. I wondered about the buttery crust but so glad I made it. Perfection. Do chill the pie, though, before baking it as the recipes instructs.
Yes, this tourtière does require a substantial amount of effort, but it is worth every single hour. Most tourtières I have had only contain ground meat, and this version is taken to a whole other level with the addition of the braised pork. It's absolutely delicious. The only change was that I used a different Paté Brisée recipe because I couldn't bring myself to adding so much butter to one pie crust.
This was really delicious, but I'm not totally sure it was worth the work and time. If I make it again, I will definitely use a different crust recipe. This one was yummy, to be sure, but it was so overwhelmingly buttery that I could only eat a tiny little piece of the finished pie. I'm a huge fan of rich food, so that's really saying something. (Tip for future cooks: put a rimmed baking sheet on the shelf underneath the pie plate, to catch all the dripping butter that comes off the crust.) It certainly did warm us up on a sub-zero Minnesota evening (and we did each cooling step out on the porch, rather than heating up our fridge). It's pretty perfect for wintertime.
While this toutière takes a bit of effort to make, it's worth all of the effort. The recipe comes from a super chef in Montreal - the chef of Au Pied du Cochon, so you know it's bound to be good. I used a different paté brisée pastry, because I couldn't bring myself to use a pound of butter for one pie. I had to refill the braising liquid a few times, but everything worked out very well. It's my go-to tourtière recipe from now on!
I've been around Tourtière for 40 years and never have I been so blown away- this is a game changer. Takes time, but easy if you chunk it out over a day or 2. Pastry was light and buttery, filling was rich with depth delivered by the pulled pork. Mom said it was the best she's ever had :) Hats off, Martin Picard.
Magnificent. There is truly no other word for this recipe. I made my own crust and increased the spicing a little (extra cinnamon, a little nutmeg, mace and sage). I also added a splash of cognac and about twice as much of the cooking liquid as called for, plus a tablespoon of flour (mostly because I used a waxy potato that didn't seem to be absorbing the juices as much as a floury one would have). I would make the same changes again, and maybe add even more of the cooking liquid next time. I made the filling one day and let it cool overnight, then assembled and baked the tourtiere the next day. Super simple this way, and I think it gives the flavors in the filling time to develop.
Love love love this recipe! I've made it twice now - first time I served it the same day, second time I made it the day before. It's much better if made the day before. But either way, it's really fantastic. It's labor-intensive, but worth it. I'm terrified to make my own crust and both times used Pillsbury store-bought and it was perfectly delicious. Will make this again in the winter.
Hands down the best tourtiere I've made or tasted. I have a very generous 9in pie dish, and I would say I was a tad short on filling. It was exceptionally delicious, however, it looked like a mess once served. As long as I've been making these pies, the one thing I've learned (which I didn't do this time) is to make it the day before and re-heat. It's simply too crumbly if you try and serve the same day.
This pie is probably the best thing I've ever made in twenty-plus years of cooking. It compared favorably with the tourtières I ate growing up in northern New England and it was well worth the two-day odyssey of cooking for my family and me. The pork shoulder made the house smell amazing as it cooked, and so did the finished pie. We skipped some of the cooling times, especially toward the end, and the results were still divine. My pork shoulder was more like 2 1/2 pounds when I started, so I trimmed away a pound of it, including a big slab of fat, and made the rest into breakfast sausage for later. The pastry and filling are more than ample for a ten-inch Pyrex dish. If I hadn't, quite frankly, sampled liberally from both the pastry and the filling as I cooked, I probably would have used a larger springform pan to hold everything. Either way, it you're feeding any more than four people there's no need to worry about leftovers. This pie is impossible to stop eating as long as you've got the tiniest unfilled nook or cranny left in your belly.
Excellent. I have been making tourtiere on Christmas Eve for many years, always with ground pork. The addition of shredded pork shoulder really gives it a lovely texture. The pastry was delicious, but I had to add at least 3/4 cup of ice water (triple what the recipe calls for). Also, with the extra meat and pastry, I made a small additional pie that I spiced with chopped roasted green chiles-- not so traditional, but just excellent.

Q: When's the best time to request for a quotation?
A: As early as possible. One year should be a good time since it's easy to predict flower prices within that period. A lot of imported flowers, for example, do not change prices as much as the local ones. This is because they are available all year round (i.e. Ecuadorian roses, Cymbidium orchids).
Q: Do you have packages?
A: Unlike other florists, we do not have ready-to-send packages. Everything we do is customized. We usually send the bride a form to fill up, and the details in that form will be the basis of the costing. Our rates for entourage flowers (from the bridal bouquet to the flower girls) start at P25,000. The final cost, however, will be determined by your actual requirements.
Q: How do we go about asking for a customized quotation?
A: Just email us a request. Brides are often made to fill up a form which contains all the details we need to come up with a customized quotation. Please email us at email@example.com
Q: If we decide to request for a customized costing, how long will this take? How many revisions are we allowed to make before we book you?
A:We normally send back the costing one (1) month from the day we receive the properly filled-up form. Once you get the costing, we allow only up to one (1) major overhaul / change prior to finalization. You have to book us first before we allow more changes to your costing. This is to ensure that we do not spend too much time working on just one costing, and to give other inquirers their chance, too.
Q: Are your services expensive?
A: Most brides say our arrangements look expensive. We actually take that as a compliment. Of course this goes without saying that what drives the cost of entourage flowers higher is your choice of flowers (imported versus local), the kind of arrangement to be made (bouquets, for example, use more flowers than, say, a chest corsage), the season of your wedding, and the number of people in your entourage. Remember, the more people there are in the entourage, the more flower arrangements are needed. Rates for entourage flowers begin at P25,000.
Q: Can we expect a discount after we receive the quotation?
A: Our costing plan is easy: we charge you all materials at cost, then we just add the labor cost. This means, the costing we give you is already the lowest we can possibly offer based on your color scheme, flowers / arrangements chosen, theme (if you have one), and the month of your wedding.
Q: Do you work around a budget?
A: We sincerely think a budget restricts creativity, but we try our best to work with whatever is reasonable. What we do is to give you our best costing, and then we can work from there.
Q: Are themed weddings more expensive?
A: That's a leading question but yes, themed weddings are more expensive than the regular ones. This is because everything - and we mean EVERYTHING - has to follow the set theme for your event to have a unified and pulled-together look.
Q: Are locally-sourced flowers cheaper?
A: Not all the time. The locally-sourced flowers are the most susceptible to extreme price changes. The most expensive months to get married are in January, early February, May, late November and in December, all of which are busy wedding months in the Philippines. Locally-sourced flowers during these months go as high as 200% more compared to their usual cost during the rest of the year.
Q: Are non-floral items cheaper?
A: No, they're not. That's because every item is hand-crafted and customized according to your wedding's overall look.
Q: How do I book?
A: If all the details of your costing are already acceptable to both of us, we send you a Service Contract to sign. Non-refundable down-payment (D/P) is 30% of the total cost upon signing of the Service Contract. Balance is payable a month before the event date.
Q: Do you join bridal fairs?
A: Right now we don't yet see the need to do that.
Q: Can we still back out of the contract?
A: Yes, you can as long as we haven't made advanced orders on your behalf. There are stipulated time limits as to when one can still back out. The Service Contract has all the details of how much can be refunded depending on how far from the event date you are cancelling the service. Of course we'd be very sad if you'd do that. :-(
Q: Do you do mock bouquets?
A: No. Mock bouquets add to the overall cost. A little surprise adds excitement to the wedding day. Relax. Leave it to us. No worries; we are not fond of nasty surprises either.
Q: What do you mean by being "Fully Booked"?
A: This means that we have reached our maximum monthly limit of twenty (20) events per month. We do a maximum of two (2) events per day if only for entourage flowers, but one (1) event per day only if we have to work on the reception / garden ceremony as well.
Q: Do you charge for out-of-town events?
A: Yes, rates vary but we have what we call Delivery-For-Pick Up (i.e. we deliver to an appointed meeting spot WITHIN METRO MANILA and transfer the goods to a group from your side - parents, friends, or your wedding planner - who will complete the journey to your venue or preps place). This is usually done for events in Tagaytay & other destination weddings in Luzon. It'd save you a lot of money, that's for sure.
Q: If you do not come along with the flowers, how do we know how to care for them?
A: In the past, we have always attached Care Instruction Cards to the boxes carrying our flowers. We continue to do that. They're very helpful and easy to follow. Also, all the arrangements will be properly tagged.
Q: Can you coordinate an event, too?
A: We have been very fortunate to have worked with a lot of really good event coordinators. We can refer you to them.
Q: Why are you so bloody particular with who we get as photographer / videographer?
A: If you noticed, various photographers have their own signature look or color (ex. Metrophoto / Benjie Tiongo have a purple hue / Jaja Samaniego is sunny / Myio Okamoto & Zeus Martinez are muted). Some flower colors, like tropical hues, will not appear as bright in purple photos, but will appear bright in sunny ones. Because of this, we find out ahead who the couple's photographer is so we know how best to work around his / her photo color(s). We want our flowers to pop out in your photos, so we choose the right style to match the look of your photographer. You only have to check out our blog posts to understand this. :-)
As much as possible, we suggest that we be allowed to work with the photographers & videographers that are in our Birds of the Same Feather list. We continue to update this as we go along. :-)
Q: Do you accept reception / church styling?
A: Garden ceremony styling is mostly limited to our home base which is The Mango Farm but beginning 2016, we will return to reception styling outside The Mango Farm via our new company, Blue Trumpet Events. For inquiries, please email our Manager, Ms. Joed See, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Q: Do you prefer to work with a specific caterer?
A: Not really, but it helps a lot to know who your caterer is so we can match the entourage flowers with the look of the reception for continuity purposes.
Q: Who are your design influences?
A: Our influences are not limited to florists. We are also a huge fan of architecture, photography, literature, travel (I used to run a travel blog), films (I used to review them), food (we wrote about it for a living), product, graphic, & interior design.
We also visit museums a lot. For designers, I look up to Eddie Ross, Karen Tran & Paula Pryke. I know for a fact that a lot of Manila florists look up to Preston Bailey, but his style is just not me. Locally, we admire the work of at least five Manila-based florists.
Q: Why do you deliver flowers so early in the morning?
A: We'd rather be early than late. If possible, we deliver at 8AM if the wedding is in the afternoon; earlier if you can wake up for us (yey!). Delivering flowers at the sun's peak hastens blooming and thereby advancing the deterioration of your flower arrangements. We want to deliver while the weather is cool so we can arrange the flowers at your preps place, too, for the photo shoot that will happen later in the day. For Boracay & other Provincial weddings, we prefer that the flowers are flown to the area at least one (1) day before the wedding. For Tagaytay weddings, we prefer that the flowers travel in the morning of the same day of the wedding.
Q: Do you deliver the flowers personally?
A: In most cases, yes. For Tagaytay & Luzon weddings, we transfer that responsibility to either assigned family members or your event coordinator. Sometimes we end up consigning the flowers to the hotel's Front Desk during cases where we arrive early and we'd rather not disturb the bride from her beauty sleep, but we try our very best to meet all our brides. :-)
For other locations in the Philippines, we ship via Philippine Airlines (Bacolod, Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Iloilo, Laoag, & Tagbilaran). or Cebu Pacific (other destinations not listed under PR).
Q: Where do you source your flowers?
A: Both here and abroad. With our recent adoption of our unique Green Weddings Initiative (20% Global, 80% Local), we now source more of our floral requirements locally whenever possible. Otherwise, we import flowers via our importer-partners from such countries as the Netherlands, Latin America, New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand, and other countries.
{ TRIVIA } Do you know that Kenya supplies 20% of the flower requirements of Europe? It is not surprising if some flowers from there find their way here in Manila via Amsterdam, which is our only direct link to the European flower market.
We are conscious about our sources of imported flowers. We require that our flowers carry the Flower Label Program (FLP) tag. Established in 1998, the objective of the FLP is to improve labor, social, health and safety standards for farm workers; improve the use of chemicals and pesticides used on the flowers; and to follow stringent standards to protect the environment.
We want to contribute to making the conditions in countries which employ mainly women whose working conditions are often not "rosy" become better. Unsafe working environment is the cause of accidents, insufficient working contracts and working time regulations create social problems, the lack of environmental protection threatens the surrounding countryside. We need to help reverse these conditions.
Locally, we try our very best to source from those who own farms, and not from middlemen.
Q: Who sources your flowers?
A: Buying flowers is very personal to us. Ever since we began in this business, we've bought each and every flower and leaves we've used in all our arrangements. We can reject bad or defective deliveries on the spot and choose better alternatives. For imported flowers, we rely on at least three (3) shops in Manila to do the ordering for us, but we still choose from among the deliveries when they arrive.
For other questions not discussed in this page, please do not hesitate to let me know the soonest. Thank you for your time and welcome to Vatel Manila! :-)

Readers Club will not leave me alone, they say I ordered magazines online and charged my credit card and said I needed to update the information and when I said I wouldn't they threatened me with a substantial raise in charges, so I complied. But, after I heard how many years of charges it entailed, I canceled my card and got a new one, so now they keep calling and calling and won't leave me alone! What can I do, to get them to leave me alone? I never ordered the magazines online or in any sweepstakes offer, how can they do this?

"An essential for muddy paws and through rooms"
24 August 2015
This review is for an older version of this product
With one through living room/diner plus accommodating 2 greyhounds, these mats are an essential on our woodblock flooring. I have a runner for the hallway in addition to 2 large and several small ones. They look good, stay in place, and even the hall runner fits in the washing machine if carefully folded so no ends are against the inside rubber door (essential). They dry quickly in the tumble dryer on low and in fine weather I put outside on an airer. Yes, they are expensive but they last and last.

Michelle Hill (ABT office manager) falsely accused me of making threats when I called to inform her that I know of the fraud her company was perpetrating. She also refused to put me through to David Andre, now using his middle name as his last name (David Thomas) to try to avoid people and (evidently) lawsuits.
These people are slime, defrauding people and not providing contracted services. I worked with them for weeks trying to get results and only got falsifications, the run-around, avoidance, denials of wrongdoing, attempts to make me a villain (nice try Michelle) to cover up their fraudulent activities, and I am still out my money.

Skip to comments.Happy Birthday, Paul McCartney 6/18/1942
Posted on 06/18/2012 11:46:22 AM PDT by Mr. K
June 18, 1942
Paul McCartney is born
On this day in 1942, musical legend and former Beatle Paul McCartney is born in Liverpool, England.
But GOD BLESS THE BEATLES for all the great music~!!!!
Happy Birthday, Sir Paul
Strange - there was no mention of this on today's NY Times front page. He must have been born after they went to press. I'll look again tomorrow.
'Nuff said.
I'm a huge Beatles fan. I even own a John Lennon signature Rickenbacker guitar with a Voc AC-30 amp! But McCartney can KMA after his snarky and totally uncalled for swipe at W when he received some award at the White House. McCartney is just another typical left-wing jerk who shoots off his mouth without thinking about the 1/2 of his fans he's insulting with his oh so clever drivel.
Bashes Bush....Hangs out with 0bama.....HB my a$$
Really enjoyed Sir Pauls' concert in 1994. I could have lived w/o the 30 minute Vegan intro, though.
Left wing, peter puffin' dirt bag. I don't care if he can ousting Jesus-no amount of talent can make up for the fact that he's a left wing, peter puffin' bag o' crap.
That's a little rough, don't you think?
How much you want for the Lennon guitar?
Hey guys, come on- this is not D.U.
lets show some class and wish someone a happy birthday without the vitriol
She died from breast cancer...
"When I'm 64" used to seem a long way off.
Yeah, it's not DU, we're humourless. And it's not like he's dead.
Incidentally,there is no such thing as virtual wishing "Happy Birthday". He's not going to know it, so it comes down to a a game of posturing, doesn't it.
If you really want to wish it, then get your ass to a stationary store, buy a card, write, find out his address, buy stamps, attach them to the envelope and send it via the postal service. You've heard of the postal service, haven't ya?
I'm just a year under Paul McCartney's age but my musical tastes had already matured by the time the Beatles achieved popularity. I never cared much for him as a person nor his music. My preferences are traditional Country and pure Southern Gospel music. There aren't a whole lot of liberals in that genre.
Alabama's Randy Owen seems to shade to the left with his Song of the South, praising government programs and nearly deifying Franklin Diablo [sic] Roosevelt.
Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat. They oughta get a rich man to vote like that. Well somebody told us Wall Street fell But we were so poor that we couldn't tell. Cotton was short and the weeds were tall But Mr. Roosevelt's a gonna save us all. Well momma got sick and daddy got down. The county got the farm and they moved to town. Pappa got a job with the TVA He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet.
Good for you....
I mentioned this once before when Paul McCartney was the topic. My only God son, Justin, developed flu-like symptoms in August of 2010 at the age of 26. He went to a walk-in clinic and imaging showed a melon sized mass in his chest. He was eventually diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer; only eight cases recorded before him. He survived until march of 2011. In February of thatvyear he was at Sloan in NYC for treatment. His spirits were good and he was comfortable but he knew h had little time left.
He was sitting in his hospital room with his mother when Paul McCartney walked in. He had a Taylor guitar with him and spent about an hour talking, playing and singing with Justin. As he was leaving, he pulled out a sharpie and autographed the guitar and gave it to Justin. The picture of the two together shows the first bit of joy on Justins face in about a year.
None of you knew this because McCartney does this sort of thing quietly with no fanfare. Paul McCartney as hs faults but not in my house.
There you go. We don't know that he forced her to be vegan, but we know they fed themselves on those awful veggie TV dinners they produced, breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, and because they're English, tea time as well. That would kill an Arnold Schwartzenegger!
It's a shame about the original McCartney, the one who wrote all that music. His replacement just wasn't the same.
I don't really celebrate old druggie british socialist's birthdays. Or any socialist's birthdays for that matter. God's given him more time than any of the rest of the group, hope he uses it well.
None of you knew this because McCartney does this sort of thing quietly with no fanfare. Paul McCartney as hs faults but not in my house.
Man, I'm sorry for your loss. But what a beautiful story, and it definitely seems like something Sir Paul would do.
I don't give a crap about the man's politics. He's a musician first, and simply one of the greatest to grace the international stage in the last 100 years.
That's a very touching story, honestly, and I'm sure he does a lot of great stuff like that - just like Rush does things a lot of folks don't know about. I just wish celebs like him would keep their politics to themselves. He was being honored in the White House and it was totally inappropriate for him to make a stab at a former President in that venue. The ironic thing was, while he implied Bush hadn't seen the inside of a library, Bush is married to a librarian! Just a bit of snarkiness that wasn't necessary IMHO. I still like his music however.
I wonder if McCartney knew how many very good works like that Bush has done "under the radar" - especially for the troops - if he'd have still felt it necesary to make his snide comments.
Ranks right up there with MUSKRAT LOVE.....
Neither do I and I suspect at least 1/2 of his fans - so why open his trap and spew his crapola? I feel the same way about Dixie Chics, Sheryl Crow, Bruce Springboard and others - if they are great musicians and entertainers that great. To quote Laura Ingraham - just "shut up and sing!"
Fellow Vox guy here, too.
I used to be a huge Beatles fan. From the late 60's to late 80's, I listened to them constantly. However, somewhere along the way, I feel I outgrew them, and rock music in general. Now I listen to classical (symphonies, opera, baroque, the whole shebang), or Sinatra and singers of his ilk who sing the Great American songbook. The words and music that appealed to me as a young person was written and performed by young people for young people. It's a musical idiom that no longer strikes a chord with me.
Speaking of McCartney's jab at Bush, this is the entire "joke": 'It's a fantastic honour (for) the Gershwin family to give me this incredible award and for me to be awarded it by the Library of Congress. And in fact, after the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is.' What gets me about the so-called joke is that it is so lame and not funny (particularly considering that presenting the award was the dumbass Obama). McCartney used to write lyrics that rivaled Cole Porter for cleverness and ingenuity; and the best he can do is a joke that would not even do a high-schooler credit?
Even though Sir Paul is no longer relevant to me, he once was; so I guess I can afford him a "thanks for the memories" birthday wish.
Well it is...in the other direction.
Yeah, I wonder how Vera, Chuck, and Dave are doing?
Now I'll agree THAT was a disaster.. unforgivable, IMO! ;-)
Awesome - thanks for posting.
The Birthday Cake Polka--"Sheriff John" Rovick, 1953
Take to Pawn Stars and find out! LOL
Good one!!
LOL; THAT's funny!
Wasn't McCartney left-handed? Or was it Harrison? Crap; I can't remember that far back.
Mine is an AC-30 Top Boost. I wish it were vintage, but alas I have to settle for an older re-issue. Still, nothing quite as nice as the sound of a Ric with Pyramid Gold strings through a Vox Tube Amp.
Yes, McCartney is the left-handed one. Left in other ways too.
I remember Ringo holding the drumsticks in his left hand.
I had totally written him off after his boorish behavior at the White House.

Starting from the aforementioned date, the Parties of the specified agreements, which are not concluded on organized trade issues, are obliged to register them with the NSD.
According to clauses 6 and 7 of Article 51.5 of the Federal Law dated 22 April, 1996, No. 39-FZ "On the Securities Market" (hereinafter – the Law "On the Securities Market"), as well as clause 2.2 of the Order of the FFMS of Russia dated 28 December, 2011, No. 11-68/pz-n "On the approval of the order of maintaining the register of agreements concluded under the material agreement (single contract), the provision of information required for maintaining the specified register and information from the above register, as well as presentation of the register of agreements concluded under the material agreement (single contract) to the federal executive authority on the securities market" (hereinafter – the "Order"), market participants that have concluded REPO deals or agreements recognized as derivatives, as well as material agreements on the financial market (ex., ISDA/RISDA), are required to provide information about the specified transactions to the self-regulating organization of the professional securities' market participants, to the clearing organization or to the stock exchange (hereinafter - the "repositories") in accordance with the Order.
According to clause 2.2 of the Order, no later than 9 months from the date of posting the Notice (i.e. by November 6, 2013), the Parties of the specified transactions are obliged to conclude the registration contract with the NSD and to provide information about the specified agreements concluded on the basis of the relevant material agreements on the financial market since August 11, 2011, and before signing the contract with the repository, if the liabilities under such agreements are not executed by the date the information was provided to the repository. According to clauses 7 and 8 of the Order, information containing details about transactions executed under the material agreement on the financial market should be provided to the repository no later than three working days from the date of conclusion, termination or fulfillment of the agreement.
According to the Law "On the Securities Market", registration applies to:
The NSD has stated its readiness to register only REPO deals and currency swap deliverables. Other transactions will be registered by the NSD at a later date, but no later than November 6, 2013.
The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain the definition of a single contract (material agreement). According to the FFMS of Russia (see Information letter dated November 8, 2012, No. 12-SKH-01/48238), the following are recognized as material agreements (single contract) if they:
Due to the fact that the above definition is quite general, the OTC financial market participants should independently (based on their own assessment of the acceptable level of legal risk) determine the list of agreements subject to registration.
According to clause 4 of Article 15.19 of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation, any violation committed by the Party towards the agreement, order and (or) the timing of the provision of information about the agreement, including the provision of incomplete and (or) inadequate information is subject to an administrative fine for private citizens in the amount of 1,000 to 2,500 rubles; for officials – from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles; for legal entities – from 300,000 to 500,000 rubles.
According to the position of FFMS of Russia (Information letter dated November 8, 2012, No. 12-SKH-01/48238), since clause 6 of Article 51.5 of the Law "On the Securities Market" does not provide exceptions from the rules for the provision of information on agreements to any of the Parties of the agreement, it is, therefore, the responsibility of both Parties to provide the specified information, even if one of the Parties is a non-resident.
The specified registration of agreements in the repository is mandatory for all Parties of the above transactions including foreigners. Registration of agreements can also be conducted by third Parties, only if expressly authorized by the Parties of the specified transaction.
Currently, the NSD is the only organization that has stated its intention to provide registration of the specified transactions.
The terms of the NSD repository servicing procedure are posted on the NSD's official website and involve payment for each registered material agreement (single contract) in the amount of 40 to 1,400 rubles per agreement and for the registration of information for each REPO/derivative agreement (including those signed within the framework of a material agreement (single contract)) in the amount of 60 to 2,700 rubles per agreement (collected from each Party of the material agreement). Registration of any changes and (or) amendments to the specified agreements, as well as registration of their termination is also performed for additional payment. The corresponding fee is in the amount of 40 to 1,700 rubles per change, amendment or termination of the agreement.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the introduction of the order of mandatory registration of the transactions on the OTC derivatives market was agreed upon at the international level at the summit of the G20 held in September, 2009, and is aimed at improving transparency and reducing the systemic risks of the OTC derivatives market.
