Whirled Peas
Thursday, December 18, 2008
That pea-soup-green and grayish-blue color combo is causing a lot of upset in my GI region, too. In fact, looking at this cake is making me feel anything but peaceful. It makes me feel like maybe these color-blind wreckerators should be stopped, you know? Like maybe we should do something about it! What do you say, Heather E.? Are you with me?!?
Ok, here's what we'll do: we'll form a website, see? And then we'll post pictures of all the really bad cakes, yeah? And then we'll mercilessly mock the cakes until the wreckerators are forced to change their evil ways! It's BRILLIANT!!
Oh, wait....

Maybe it's one of those tricky meat cakes topped with pasta salad.

I'd say they're more like cocktail olives on Earth...

Oh my, whirled peas, indeed! I am not hungry for breakfast now. Yuck. How OLD is that cake? Bleck.

Reminds me of the "Exorcist" ,anyone for some pea soup?

Remember the scene in The Exorcist where Regan's head goes all twisty and she upchucks on poor f
Father Karras? Yep, that's what I'm thinking they used for icing. All those in favor of an excorsism, say aye! - December 18, 2008 at 9:41 AM
That is hideous. Is it supposed to be a wreath? It looks like pasta heaped on the cake.

I thought the cake had uncooked pasta along the edge for a minute there.
And Jen, while changing the world is an admirable goal, I just walked past my local grocery store's bakery last night and...Well, let's just say it's going to be a long process. - December 18, 2008 at 9:44 AM

I'm not feeling exactly peaceful, but I'm definitely feeling peasful.

I think you could use that cake to negotiate world peace. Make peace or else everyone eats the cake!

The first thing I saw on this cake were olives. Ha.
Olive this cake. - December 18, 2008 at 9:45 AM

Should be titled "Peas on Earth".

- Feisty Irish Wench said...
At first glance it looked like green olives with pimentos in the middles.
It's a sad state of economic affairs when wreckorators are forced to spare every penny from a bakery's budget by using less coloring in the icing. Every budget cut has consequences. Some consequences are entertainment for others - December 18, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Yeah I'm with Horrible License Plates. Olive the other cakes used to laugh and call it names. No, wait....
Jen don't rain on their parade. Who doesn't want whirled peas? I'd love some peas on Earth this holiday season.
(on a less punny side note, I've always heard that color referred to as "baby sh*t green"....maybe it's a Texas thing) - December 18, 2008 at 9:50 AM

Whirled vomit, perhaps? Someone needs a color wheel.

Peas on Earth indeed!
Give peas a chance.

I'm at a loss for words. Were they going for a wreath?

Add me to the pile of folks who thought there was pasta topping that monstrosity.

Before reading this site I had no idea how rampant alcoholism was amongst cake decorators. Seriously, barring the chance that they are secretly employing preschoolers in the back, it's the only logical explanation.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:05 AM
That looks like pasta salad. D: Yuck yuck yuck.

Yep, my first thought was pasta also. Glad I am not the only one who saw the pasta salad drizzled on top!

Whirled peas? Are you sure you didn't mean hurled peas?
That is one nasty looking cake! - December 18, 2008 at 10:15 AM
- queenb said...
The Courteous Chihuaua...you might be right...a tricky meat cake...gross...but i'm definitely seeing olive and pimento topping....
I also think the inscription is interesting. It's a very bold statement...PEACE ON EARTH!...not "Let there be peace on Earth" or "May there be peace on Earth"...maybe they were charging by the letter and the buyer was as budget minded as the frosting colorist. - December 18, 2008 at 10:15 AM
I seriously thought that cake was adorned with green olives with pimento. I just threw up a little in my mouth just typing that.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Just arrived at work and want a martini already thanks to this cocktail olive cake. It's 5:00 somewhere...

It looks like an uncooked Digorno tortellini wreath.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:21 AM

My first thought was the preschool art project where cornflakes are dyed green and glued onto paper to make a "wreath," but preschoolers would be neater in their execution of said art project.

Maybe its just because its what I had for dinner last night, but I couldnt figure out why pesto pasta was so peaceful. It seriously took about 2 minutes for me to realize it was supposed to be a wreath! Oy!!

aren't peas a common ingredient in pasta salad?
- December 18, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Who thought this would be a good cake that looks suspiciously like a pasta meat cake? And of course, the colors are just horrendous.

"Whirled peas"...more like "hurled peas"!
- December 18, 2008 at 10:33 AM
It's obvious you can't served ice cream on the side with this one. How about a nice dollop of mayo?

I too, saw olives and pureed peas. Something out of a Gerber jar.
That's just gross.

I, too, see olives. An olive wreath.

At first glance I thought it was some kind of weird olive medly.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM
So I go to a family member's house for holidays, and there are rarely any vegetables served at the holiday meal. (I try to bring them when the potluck assignments are handed out, you know, being the change I wish to see the world and all). But this cake solves the problem: it has greens! it looks like spinach pasta! or olives! I need never steam a veggie again if my host will just buy this cake for our holiday dessert....

Everybody now! *Slee-eep in heavenly peas...*
Why am I suddenly craving a martini after looking at that cake? - December 18, 2008 at 10:49 AM

Were they going for the mashed up green olive look? Because...mission-accomplished.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Help! There's deviled eggs and olives on my cake!!!
- December 18, 2008 at 10:52 AM
- AZgirl said...
I am glad a bunch of you thought it looked like olives. So did I. Then I thought about what olives would taste like on a cake. Now I have an upset stomach.
- December 18, 2008 at 10:53 AM
- Unknown said...
True fact: in 18th century France, the color of that cake was extremely popular in the royal court. The color's name? Goose-turd green. You cannot make these things up.
Word verification: glorn. The sound you make when you see this cake? Or perhaps the mood the decorator was in? - December 18, 2008 at 10:55 AM
I really have to quit reading your blog before breakfast! Grocery store bakeries need someone with veto power to come by before these cakes are presented to an unwary public. That would spoil all the CakeWrecks fun though, wouldn't it.
Ah, my verification word is a cross between "dire" and "dread." The pea(s) cake is something diread. - December 18, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Thats just gross. Nikki

Looks to me like they edged the cake with deviled eggs. You know how it gets kinda greeny if you boil the eggs too long? Like that. - December 18, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Whirled Peas...that's beautiful right there.
the cake? not so much! - December 18, 2008 at 10:59 AM
It's a Peace Soup Cake. :-)

It really does look like green olives.
Martini cake, anyone? - December 18, 2008 at 11:13 AM

- "Uh? Yeah, it is! I was just wondering how i could create a new kind of cake, which might bring peace on earth!"
- "Sure... peace like... none will fight to get more..."
>_< - December 18, 2008 at 11:16 AM
I think it looks like the filling for deviled eggs. Certianly what I like with my cake.
- December 18, 2008 at 11:27 AM
HAPPY CHRISTMAS! - December 18, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Like everyone else, I saw olives first and I still see olives! It took me a minute to see the wreath. Unfortunately, I saw this right before lunch and have since lost my appetite. Like AZgirl, I now have an upset stomach.
- December 18, 2008 at 11:34 AM
When you look at the close up of the cake, you can see that it has also been haphazardly sprinkled with those metal-looking sprinkles (dragees?). Why? oh Why?? ohhh why????!!! It looks like MOLD on the old pasta salad! Gack!!!
- December 18, 2008 at 11:38 AM
- Anna said...
I must be the odd ball - to me it looked like someone had switched out their frosting bag for the deviled egg filling. Mmmmm... deviled eggs and cake. Where's the Pepto?
- December 18, 2008 at 11:46 AM
- Mom In Scrubs said...
Do people really buy these cakes? Seriously!
Maybe it's a conspiracy. Maybe the "decorators" (note the appropriate use of quotations!)make these cakes ugly on purpose so no one will buy them, and then they can have the cakes for themselves!!
The depths of perversion that this idea could represent are disturbing. - December 18, 2008 at 11:51 AM
- Lulubelle B said...
I saw overcooked spinach with cranberries.
BTW - I keep flipping through the cake book at the supermarket, wondering which design has the highest potential for Wreckage. Just might have to order something to see what I actually get. Would that count as a Wreck, or do they have to be unforeseen? - December 18, 2008 at 12:01 PM
- Pirka said...
It looks like it's covered in mushed pimento-stuffed olives...with the pimentos still in there...

Looks like olives to me. And not even nice shiny green olives, but the olives you find in the jar that got shoved to the back of the refrigerator eight months ago.
Del Monte Vobiscum, everyone. (That's "peas be with you.")
Word verification: nessness. The spirit of ness during the Chrismtas season. Kindness, happiness and nessness. - December 18, 2008 at 12:30 PM
I saw pasta salad too! Macaroni shells with dried peas & carrots in a ranch sauce. Just what that cake & world peace needed! :P
- December 18, 2008 at 12:37 PM
- edeabay said...
I also thought it was pasta salad on the cake. In fact, that's all I can see. I think my favorite part might be the dis-proportionally large exclamation point, like the decorator was SO excited about the prospect of 'Peace on Earth' that they couldn't contain their enthusiasm.
- December 18, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Jen, I LOVE how witty you are! This blog is hilarious! Every day I come to work and I can't wait to see the latest and greatest of the cake-wreck world. Thanks for all the laughs!

Karen asked: "if it IS supposed to be a wreath, what are those nasty brownish black flecks in it supposed to be??"
I think they are supposed to be lowlights, except for there's no consistency to an imagined light source for them.
Or perhaps they are chocolate chips.
Word verification: stantsi. My daughter is going to be stantsi tomorrow morning waiting in the airport, but I am installing some games on the laptop to help with that. - December 18, 2008 at 1:09 PM

Ulcchhh. That is one of the worst colors ever.

Oh wow. I am home w/dial up so the first thing I saw was the title, which had me laughing & wondering what was to come. When the photo finally came up, oh....
Is that actually a color? Was that stuff around the circumference of the cake supposed to be a design?
Since discovering this site, I've been looking at the cakes at my shopping places and having some giggles.

- December 18, 2008 at 2:57 PM
I actually spotted this cake at Whole Foods, in their holiday cake display. The green is even more putrid and pea-soup like in person and the strange olive-esque objects in the wreath are actually blobs of red and navy blue icing.

This cake makes me say Wow...Gnasty (the 'g' is not silent). It looks like it was under fluorescent lighting. Then I look again and say, oh my no. That's just plain lose-my-lunch awfulness. It should go with the moldy cakes. For reals.
- December 18, 2008 at 4:05 PM
That looks like strained peas. Well, if it is baby food, we can always feed it to the naked mohawk baby carrot jockeys!!!!!!!!
W.V: (although this cake makes me want to say WTF):tursin. When Bob saw the cake, his face started to look tursin and he rushed to the bathroom. - December 18, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Okay, forget the icing; has anyone noticed the second-grader handwriting on this "cake"? ( No, that was not meant to make fun of the cakes with the inappropriate quotation marks. I really think that the cake-hood of this... item should be doubted.)
- December 18, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Looks like it was decorated with capers and pimentos. Can I pass on this cake? I'll just have some of the candy from the pinata.
- December 18, 2008 at 5:21 PM
In addition to the nauseating color, it looks like it says "Peace or Earth!" to me. Apparently you can only have one or the other.
Another great wreck!! - December 18, 2008 at 5:31 PM

My first impression was that there was a ring of ziti with pesto ringing the top of that cake. Blecch.

I agree: it totally looks like pasta salad. The really vinegary kind.

I don't know what you people are complaining about. I hear pimento olives on vanilla cake is a very popular dessert in hell.
- December 18, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Totally thought it was pasta salad!
- December 18, 2008 at 7:36 PM
I get it! This is a dove's nest...they are waiting for the dove. The dove represents peace...right? So peace on earth is appropriate written a cake shaped like a nest without a dove because like the dove..peace on earth has not arrived! Right?

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis is warning that the Catholic Church's moral edifice might "fall like a house of cards" if it doesn't balance its divisive rules about abortion, gays and contraception with the greater need to make the church a merciful, more welcoming place for all.
Six months into his papacy, Francis set out his vision for the church and his priorities as pope in a remarkably candid and lengthy interview with La Civilta Cattolica, the Italian Jesuit magazine. It was published simultaneously Thursday in other Jesuit journals, including America magazine in the U.S.
In the 12,000-word article, Francis expands on his ground-breaking comments over the summer about gays and acknowledges some of his own faults. He sheds light on his favorite composers, artists, authors and films (Mozart, Caravaggio, Dostoevsky and Fellini's "La Strada") and says he prays even while at the dentist's office.
But his vision of what the church should be stands out, primarily because it contrasts so sharply with many of the priorities of his immediate predecessors John Paul II and Benedict XVI. They were both intellectuals for whom doctrine was paramount, an orientation that guided the selection of generations of bishops and cardinals around the globe.
Francis said the dogmatic and the moral teachings of the church were not all equivalent.
"The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently," Francis said. "We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel."
Rather, he said, the Catholic Church must be like a "field hospital after battle," healing the wounds of its faithful and going out to find those who have been hurt, excluded or have fallen away.
"It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars!" Francis said. "You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else."
"The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules," he lamented. "The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you. And the ministers of the church must be ministers of mercy above all."
The admonition is likely to have sharp reverberations in the United States, where some bishops have already publicly voiced dismay that Francis hasn't hammered home church teaching on abortion, contraception and homosexuality — areas of the culture wars where U.S. bishops often put themselves on the front lines. U.S. bishops were also behind Benedict's crackdown on American nuns, who were accused of letting doctrine take a backseat to their social justice work caring for the poor — precisely the priority that Francis is endorsing.
Just last week, Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, wrote in his diocesan newspaper that he was "a little bit disappointed" that Francis hadn't addressed abortion since being elected.
Francis acknowledged that he had been "reprimanded" for not speaking out on such issues. But he said he didn't need to.
"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible," he said. "The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time."
Francis, the first Jesuit to become pope, was interviewed by Civilta Cattolica's editor, the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, over three days in August at the Vatican hotel where Francis chose to live rather than the papal apartments. The Vatican vets all content of the journal, and the pope approved the Italian version of the article.
Nothing Francis said in this or other interviews indicate any change in church teaching. But he has set a different tone and signaled new priorities compared to Benedict and John Paul — priorities that have already been visible in his simple style, his outreach to the most marginalized and his insistence that priests be pastors, not bureaucrats.
Two months ago, Francis caused a sensation during an inflight news conference when he was asked about gay priests. "Who am I to judge?" about the sexual orientation of priests, as long as they are searching for God and have good will, he responded.
Francis noted in the latest interview that he had merely repeated church teaching (though he again neglected to repeat church teaching that says while homosexuals should be treated with dignity and respect, homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered.")
But he continued: "A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: 'Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?'
"We must always consider the person. In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy. When that happens, the Holy Spirit inspires the priest to say the right thing."
The key, he said, is for the church to welcome, not exclude and show mercy, not condemnation.
"This church with which we should be thinking is the home of all, not a small chapel that can hold only a small group of selected people. We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity," he said.

We're all familiar with the highway driving experience of being behind a person who is continually braking for no apparent reason. This is especially problematic if you're in the left-hand lane. You're zipping along at the posted speed limit and suddenly the brake lights of the car in front go on. You have to immediately react and hit your brakes. If this happens more than a couple of times, you look for the first opportunity to pass this unskilled driver. The person riding their brakes may thoughtlessly cause a serious traffic problem or worse. Metaphorically, you may be physiologically "riding the brakes" without knowing it, creating ongoing problems for your long-term wellness and well-being.
For example, many of us are not aware that lack of regular vigorous exercise results in a slowing down of our metabolism. Without such exercise, our daily metabolic processes simply do not operate at peak levels. In the absence of critical energy demands imposed by regular vigorous exercise, a low level steady state takes over. Fat cells accumulate, reflexes dull, and our overall sense of awareness deteriorates. But your body is a finely crafted machine and it is designed to fulfill very high performance metrics. The aphorism, "what you don't use, you lose" applies specifically to human physiological performance. Without regular vigorous exercise, you're riding your physiological brakes and your body systems will degrade accordingly.
The good news is that these entropic effects can be reversed. Our bodies are dynamic and remarkably adaptive. Beginning or renewing an exercise program will quickly result in noticeable benefits. Many people will begin observe such benefits within four to six weeks. The important health benefits derived from regular vigorous exercise include slowing of the heart rate, increased capacity of the heart to pump blood, increased capacity of the lungs to take in oxygen, accumulation of lean muscle mass, increased creative abilities, increased ability to focus and perform useful work, and improved restful sleep.
These benefits all derive from any basic exercise program that includes some form of strength training and some form of cardiovascular exercise. Thirty minutes per day, five days a week, is the recommended standard. A program that incorporates three days of cardiovascular exercise and two days of strength training, or three days of strength training and two days of cardiovascular exercise, will be sufficient to derive maximum results. Cardiovascular exercise includes walking, running, swimming, bicycling, cross-country skiing, and sports such as basketball and lacrosse. Strength training should comprise routines including exercises for the chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs. Certain forms of exercise such as yoga simultaneously incorporate strength training and cardiovascular exercise.
Most important is the consistency of exercise. What works for one person may not work for another. Find the types of exercise that you like to do and want to do and keep going. There will be times when you need to take a break for a week or two. Trust your instincts and return to your exercise program as appropriate. Encourage your family members to participate so that everyone can achieve peak performance, health, and wellness.

Unmerited Success. 1Hear, O Israel! You are now about to cross the Jordan to enter in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than yourselves, having large cities fortified to the heavens,a 2the Anakim, a people great and tall.b You yourselves know of them and have heard it said of them, "Who can stand up against the Anakim?" 3Know, then, today that it is the LORD, your God, who will cross over before you as a consuming fire; he it is who will destroy them and subdue them before you, so that you can dispossess and remove them quickly, as the LORD promised you.c 4After the LORD, your God, has driven them out of your way, do not say in your heart, "It is because of my justice the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,d and because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD is dispossessing them before me."* 5No, it is not because of your justice or the integrity of your heart that you are going in to take possession of their land; but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD, your God, is dispossessing these nations before you and in order to fulfill the promise he made on oath to your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.e 6Know this, therefore: it is not because of your justice that the LORD, your God, is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.f
The Golden Calf. 7Remember and do not forget how you angered the LORD, your God, in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious toward the LORD.g 8h At Horeb you so provoked the LORD that he was angry enough to destroy you,i 9when I had gone up the mountain to receive the stone tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you.j Meanwhile I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I ate no food and drank no water. 10The LORD gave me the two stone tablets inscribed, by God's own finger,k with a copy of all the words that the LORD spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. 11Then, at the end of the forty days and forty nights, when the LORD had given me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant, 12l the LORD said to me, Go down from here now, quickly, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt are acting corruptly; they have already turned aside from the way I commanded them and have made for themselves a molten idol. 13I have seen now how stiff-necked this people is, the LORD said to me. 14Let me be, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under the heavens. I will then make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
15When I had come down again from the blazing, fiery mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in both my hands,m 16I saw how you had sinned against the LORD, your God, by making for yourselves a molten calf. You had already turned aside from the way which the LORD had commanded you.n 17I took hold of the two tablets and with both hands cast them from me and broke them before your eyes.o 18Then, as before, I lay prostrate before the LORD for forty days and forty nights; I ate no food, I drank no water, because of all the sin you had committed in the sight of the LORD, doing wrong and provoking him.p 19For I dreaded the fierce anger of the LORD against you: his wrath would destroy you.q Yet once again the LORD listened to me. 20With Aaron, too, the LORD was deeply angry, and would have destroyed him; but I prayed for Aaron also at that time.r 21Then, taking the calf, the sinful object you had made, I burnt it and ground it down to powder as fine as dust, which I threw into the wadi that went down the mountainside.s
22At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah likewise, you enraged the LORD.t 23And when the LORD sent you up from Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and take possession of the land I have given you, you rebelled against this command of the LORD, your God, and would not believe him or listen to his voice.u 24You have been rebels against the LORD from the day I first knew you.
25v Those forty days, then, and forty nights, I lay prostrate before the LORD, because he had threatened to destroy you. 26And I prayed to the Lord and said: O Lord GOD, do not destroy your people, the heritage you redeemed in your greatness and have brought out of Egypt with your strong hand.w 27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not look upon the stubbornness of this people nor upon their wickedness and sin,x 28lest the land from which you have brought us say, "The LORD was not able to bring them into the land he promised them, and out of hatred for them, he brought them out to let them die in the wilderness."y 29They are your people and your heritage, whom you have brought out by your great power and with your outstretched arm.z

Delivery Policy
Our Guarantee
Every order is important to us because we know how important it is to you. Hence, we earnestly endeavor to please every customer with beautiful flowers and accommodating service. Knowing that flowers are a perishable natural product and that floral arrangements and floral gifts are hand made, we make every effort to fortify our floral products and ensure the quality, accuracy and beauty of our work. Many variables determine whether a flower will last as long as anticipated or whether a designer has created something which you will enjoy. Because we constantly seek ways to bring some of these variables under our control for improved floral performance, we welcome your comments and inquiries. Also, if you are not completely satisfied with the quality of one of our products, then please contact us immediately and we will promptly take the appropriate action.
Delivery Policy
Same Day Delivery: If you order before 2:00 pm in the recipient's time zone, we can typically deliver the flowers the same day Monday through Friday. For orders going outside of our local delivery area, we may require the order to be placed by 12:00 pm for same-day delivery. For same day service on Saturday please order by 12:00 pm.
Specific Times: We are unable to guarantee delivery at a specific time, but we are normally able to deliver within four hours on orders. You may request a time frame in the special instruction box when ordering, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Delivery Times: Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school. During major holidays such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day we operate extended hours and delivery times are 8am-8pm.
Funeral Homes: These orders are our very highest priority. If you have ordered too late to make the funeral service we will call to let you know quickly so that you can make other arrangements or have something sent to the home of the family. If you do not know the zip code or exact address of the funeral home we will look it up for you. We normally contact the funeral home anyway to verify the time of the viewing and make arrangements for the flower delivery. If you have selected a delivery date that is before the actual viewing we will deliver to the viewing per the funeral home instructions. If you have ordered for a funeral viewing on Sunday and it is too late to deliver on Saturday or Sunday, we will contact the funeral home to verify that there is a viewing or service on Monday and reschedule the order.
Banner Funeral Arrangements: Due to the time-sensitivity of delivering funeral orders, if a banner is not available, we will fill your order to value, substituting the banner with more flowers for an even fuller arrangement.
High Schools: High schools do not accept deliveries for students. Please send teacher's gifts to the high school and any student orders to their residence. Orders to high schools should be placed early because they usually must be received by 2pm.
Weekend Delivery Policy: If we are unable to arrange for delivery on Sunday and time permits we will setup for delivery on Saturday, including Birthday and Anniversaries. If Saturday or Sunday is not available, then the order will be scheduled for Monday and we will inform you of the rescheduling (you will be contacted first before rescheduling a Birthday or Anniversary gift for Monday).
P.O. Boxes: We are unable to deliver flowers to a P.O. Box or an A.P.O. addresses.
If No One is Home: Depending on the delivery location, if the recipient is not available at the time of delivery, the delivery person may leave the gift in a safe place for the recipient to retrieve when they return, such as with a neighbor, or leave a message for the recipient to call to arrange for delivery.
Incorrect Addresses: If the recipient's address is incorrect and delivery was attempted to the address, there is a $10 address correction fee. Lasting Expressions Floral Designs is not responsible for deliveries made to incorrect addresses submitted to us by the customer. If such a delivery is made, the customer assumes responsibility for the entire purchase.
Canceling an Order: Same-day orders are processed immediately, and usually cannot be changed. Due to the urgent nature of florist delivered products we are unable to cancel or change orders already in process at the florist, en route or delivered. To cancel or change an order that has not been processed, please call (905) 728-4299.
Recipient May be Contacted: In some cases, the florist may contact the recipient to ensure s/he will be home to accept the delivery.
Request to Leave Item at Door: The customer assumes all liability for requests to leave arrangements. We highly discourage special instructions requesting delivery to a doorstep, porch, yard or any location where the recipient cannot accept the arrangement themselves. Lasting Expressions Floral Designs cannot be held responsible for missing or faulty product due to this special request.
Recipient Refusal of Delivery: If the recipient refuses to accept a delivery, you may be held fully liable for the cost of the gift.

- Many products are available in Regular, Deluxe, and Premium sizes that you can upgrade to.
Substitution Policy
Fresh Flowers: At Lasting Expressions Floral Designs we are committed to delivering your important emotional sentiments on time and as fresh and beautiful as possible. Because of the nature, seasonality, and regional availability of flowers it is sometimes necessary to make substitutions of equal or greater value. We will make every effort to maintain the "look and feel" of the arrangement by considering the overall shape, size, style, and color combinations. In single-variety arrangements the variety will take precedence over color. For instance, if an order is for yellow daisies, they will substitute another color of daisies, not another yellow flower. White roses and cream roses may be substituted for each other as well as peach roses and pink roses. Purple and pink orchids may need to be substituted for white orchids and vice versa.
Balloons: Some hospitals do not allow latex balloons with an arrangement. Mylar balloons may need to be substituted for latex balloons on some orders.
Plants: For green and blooming plants, similar plants may be substituted of equal or greater value. For one-of-a-kind plants, such as orchids, we will make every attempt to match the plant type, but may substitute with another color. Containers for plants will be as close as possible.
Gift Baskets: Substitutions within a basket may be made with items of greater or equal value if necessary to guarantee freshness and timely delivery.
Substitutions for Special Occasions: Due to the importance of delivering orders for special occasions, such as funerals, birthdays, and anniversaries, on specific days, we may make a substitution of equal or greater value to ensure timely delivery, if the flowers you requested are not available, and we are not able to contact you via the phone number(s) or email address you provided us.

Iconography (from Greek: εικoνογραφία) refers to the making and liturgical use of icons, pictorial representations of Biblical scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, historical events in the life of the Church, and portraits of the saints. Icons are usually two-dimensional images and may be made of paint, mosaic, embroidery, weaving, carving, engraving, or other methods. A person who practices the art of iconography is called an iconographer.
Images have always been a vital part of the Church, but their place was the subject of the Iconoclast Controversy in the 8th and 9th centuries, especially in the East. The Sunday of Orthodoxy, the first Sunday of the Great Fast (Lent) every year celebrates the reestablishment of the Orthodox veneration of icons. The use of iconography is considered one of the most distinctive elements of the Byzantine Rite.
From the first centuries of Christianity, icons have been used for prayer. Orthodox Tradition tells us, for example, of the existence of an icon of the Christ during his lifetime, the Icon-Not-Made-With-Hands, and of the icons of the Theotokos immediately after him written by the All-laudable Apostle and Evangelist Luke.
The Icon of the Savior Not-made-by-hands, also Acheiropoieta
During the time of the earthly ministry of the Savior, Abgar, ruler in the Syrian city of Edessa, was afflicted with leprosy. Reports of the great miracles performed by the Lord extended throughout Syria (Matt. 4:24) and as far as Arabia at this time. Although not having seen the Lord, Abgar believed in Him and wrote a letter requesting Christ to come and heal him. Abgar sent his court painter, Ananias, with this letter to Palestine telling him to paint an image of the Divine Teacher. Ananias was not able go to near Christ because of the great many people listening to his preaching. He attempted to produce an image of the Lord Jesus Christ from afar, but could not. The Lord called Ananias and promised to send his disciple in order to heal Abgar from the leprosy and instruct him in salvation. Then the Lord called for water and a towel. He wiped His face with the towel, and on it was His Divine Image. The Savior sent the towel and a letter to Edessa back with Ananias. With thanksgiving Abgar received the sacred objects and started healing. He continued healing until the arrival of the disciple Thaddeus, Apostle of the 70. The Apostle preached the Gospel and baptized the Abgar and all living in Edessa. The story is recorded by the 4th century Church historian, Eusebius of Cesarea.
Icons made by Apostle Luke
Apostle Luke painted icons of the Most-holy Theotokos—not just one, but three—as well as icons of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. St. Luke wrote the first icon, of the Most Holy Theotokos Directress or Hodigitria, mentioned in the Paraklesis to the Theotokos:
- Your great icon, the sacred one
- Which is called Directress,
- And was depicted for us
- By one of the apostles,
- Luke the Evangelist.
- —The Service of the Small Paraklesis (GOARCH)
Icons in The Old Testament
Pictures of cherubim on temple door, on temple walls are mentioned in Old Testament in III Kings 6:29. If there would be an interdiction of all images, the groups claiming this interdiction would not use any images, photos or movies and Old Testament would probably not describe the Temple as having images of cherubim.
Other icons not made by hands
There are several icons with unknown authors that were found done after people were praying.
- One such example is Prodomitra icon. The first draft was not liked by the icon writer. He prayed for help and then found the icon done.
- Another example is the icon of Saint George, and in this example, several monks did not agree on the patron Saint of their church. They asked God for help, leaving an empty icon support in the church and praying for God to show the Patron Saint. After several days of prayer, they found an icon of Saint George painted in the church.
- Third example is the icon done in Pangheo Mountains to Saint Gherman. Saint Gherman wanted an icon of the Holy Mother of God. So he had several men make the support. However the piece of wood had splintered in several parts. The Saint prayed to God so that icon will be made. The Holy Mother of God appeared to Saint Gherman assuring that the icon will be done, and the wood parts had united themselves and the icon started to be self-written in a reddish light. Many miracles are attributed to this icon, one being the healing of a child that was not able to speak or hear.
Some believe these icons are made by angels.
Miracle performing icons
As we saw the icon made by Jesus did perform a miracle, helping King Abgar escape partially of leprosy. Today there are many miracle performing icons.
The calendar of the Russian Church, where iconography of the Virgin is highly developed, mentions 260 of her icons noted for miracles and celebrated liturgically. The Menaion of Sergius numbers the designations of Most Holy Theotokos icons at 700.[1]
Wonderworking icons in Russia:
- The "Kursk-Root" icon of the Mother of God "of the Sign"[2];
- Our Lady of Kazan icon[3];
- "Unexpected Joy" icon of the Mother of God[4].
Wonderworking icons in Romania:
- Icon of the Mother of God with Christ from Nicula Monastery[5];
- "Lidianca" icon of Mother of God from Neamț Monastery, the oldest Romanian icon[6];
- "Syriaca" icon of Mother of God from Ghighiu Monastery.
"Written" or "painted"?
The most literal translation of the Greek word εικονογραφία (eikonographia) is "image writing," leading many English-speaking Orthodox Christians to insist that icons are not "painted" but rather "written." From there, further explanations are given that icons are to be understood in a manner similar to Holy Scripture—that is, they are not simply artistic compositions but rather are witnesses to the truth the way Scripture is. Far from being imaginative creations of the iconographer, they are more like scribal copies of the Bible.
While the explanation of the purpose and nature of icons is certainly true and consistent with the Church's Holy Tradition, there is a linguistic problem with the insistence on the word written rather than painted. In Greek, a painted portrait of anyone is also a γραφή (graphi), and the art of painting itself is called ζωγραφική (zographiki) while any drawing or painting can be referred to as ζωγραφιά (zographia). Ancient Greek literally uses the same root word to refer to the making of portraits and the making of icons, but distinguishes whether it is "painting from life" (ζωγραφιά) or "painting icons" (εικονογραφία). Thus, from a linguistic point of view, either all paintings—whether icons or simple portraits—are "written" or (more likely) "painted" is a perfectly usable English translation, simply making a distinction between the painting appropriate for icons and that appropriate for other kinds of painting, just as Greek does.
Modern Styles
Icons on Glass
Painting on glass – a very ancient art introduced to Transylvania after its annexation to the Habsburg empire (1699) – had an extraordinary diffusion as a mass phenomenon as the result of a miraculous event that happened at Nicula, a village in the north of Transylvania, where on the 15th February, 1694 (some scholars say 1699) tears were seen running down the face of the Blessed Virgin on a wooden icon of the Madonna with Child in the local church. This miraculous event transformed the village into a centre of pilgrimage, the many pilgrims being anxious to obtain an image of the miraculous Madonna to take home. In this way began the great spread of the painting of icons on glass in Transylvania.
The Zosim Oancea Museum of icons on glass at Sibiel
The Fr Zosim Oancea Museum at Sibiel holds the largest existing exposition of icons on glass in Transylvania, a miracle of artistic creativity and religious inspiration born of the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition and the imagination of Romanian peasant painters. A unique fusion of Eastern tradition and Western technique, icons on glass emerged and spread throughout this extensive region of Romania in the first decades of the eighteenth century, reaching their apogee between 1750 and the end of the nineteenth century and almost vanishing in the period between the two world wars. Begun in 1969 under the aegis of Fr Zosim Oancea, the people of Sibiel and with the help of institutions and private donors, the collection in this museum with its almost 600 masterpieces, represents all the main types of icons on glass along with works by some of the most famous icon-painters – when their names are known. A visit to the museum at Sibiel also presents the opportunity to discover the person who gave the museum its name: Fr Zosim Oancea, a truly exceptional man and priest to whose intelligent vision and indefatigable tenacity we owe this extraordinary museum in the heart of Romania.[7]

Human rights groups are accusing the Iraqi government of indiscriminate bombing. Baghdad officials deny that and note they're fighting a Sunni insurgency that commits mass executions and suicide bombings.
Yet rights workers say civilians are being killed by government attacks with so-called barrel bombs — the crude weapons made famous in Syria's current conflict. Barrel bombs are illegal and indiscriminate explosives, packed in things like oil drums or gas cylinders.
Hospitals haven't been spared. A doctor reached in the town of Garma in Anbar province says his hospital was destroyed by a barrel bomb and now he works in a school nearby. Many of the victims, he says, were women and children.
Other doctors contacted by NPR say they're counting hundreds of civilians killed in several places, including Mosul, Fallujah and Baiji — casualties of barrel bombs from Iraq's Shiite-led military.
A Terrifying Blast
Distraught and in tears, Ali Hamad can barely describe the destruction that fell from the sky last Wednesday.
The family had broken their day-long fast in the city of Fallujah in the restive Anbar province. Hamad walked out of the house and heard the hum of a helicopter, saw a barrel bomb drop, then a terrifying blast.
"I got up and screamed for my sisters and my mother," he says. Hamad's house was wiped out, his whole family dead — two teenage sisters, a 10-year-old brother, his mother and his uncle. He found pieces of them in the rubble. His mother's arm was still holding her prayer beads. Hamad already lost his father during the U.S. invasion in 2003.
Next door, a family of six was gone. A grieving man cries and says he wishes he had died with them.
"I want someone to hear me, to tell the United Nations what Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki is doing to us. Why? Because we're Sunni?" he asks.
Insurgents And Indiscriminate Bombings
Tirana Hassan, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, investigated 17 separate airstrikes, including six barrel bombs since June 6 that killed at least 75 civilians.
"The Iraqi government needs to cease all indiscriminate attacks in civilian areas and foreign governments who are providing military support and assistance should only continue to support the Government of Iraq on the condition that the armed forces are compliant with international humanitarian law," Hassan says.
Baghdad is locked in a battle with the extremists calling themselves the Islamic State who have taken over vast parts of the north and west. They're known for extreme violence and killing innocents.
The government denies the use of barrel bombs, but they've been documented in Fallujah since January and are being used in other towns. Doctors in Fallujah estimate the town gets hit by barrel bombs three times a week and more than 600 civilians have been killed in strikes since January.
"A number of these barrel bombs have dropped in these civilian areas and not actually exploded," Hassan says. "So here you have a civilian population who is trapped between insurgents on the one hand and indiscriminate bombings on the other also living with unexploded ordinances."
And so people are fleeing in huge numbers to safer areas like Shaqlawa, northeast of Erbil. It's a resort town where many families from Anbar fled to escape the airstrikes.
Escaping To Safety
The Nouri family fled Fallujah. Ahmed Nouri lays in a bed recovering from a strike that wounded him. He says it was a barrel bomb a month ago. It overturned his car. A scar runs down the length of his arm, another across his stomach.
"This is genocide by Maliki against the Sunni people of Fallujah," he says.
His sister, Suad, and brother, Mohamed, sit nearby. They survived a rocket and then a barrel bombing last week and fled.
Mohamed Nouri pulls out a small pink piece of paper where he lists every strike he witnessed — July 11, July 12, the list goes on. First, the Americans came and killed us, he says, and now the leader of our own country is doing it.

xdiff extension enables you to create and apply patch files containing differences between different revisions of files.
This extension supports two modes of operation - on strings and on files, as well as two different patch formats - unified and binary. Unified patches are excellent for text files as they are human-readable and easy to review. For binary files like archives or images, binary patches will be adequate choice as they are binary safe and handle non-printable characters well.
Starting from version 1.5.0 there are two different sets of functions for generating binary patches. New functions - xdiff_string_rabdiff() and xdiff_file_rabdiff() generate output compatible with older functions but are typically faster and generate smaller results. For more details about methods of generating binary patches and differences between them, please check » libxdiff website.
This extension uses libxdiff to implement these functions. Please see » http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html for more information.

"Train leaving on track five for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc-amonga!"
A woebegone old car, a harried department store clerk, a monosyllabic man in a sombrero, and a train announcer whose line ran somewhere between Orange County and the Twilight Zone are all memorable characters from The Jack Benny Program, and all the products of a single talented throat: Mel Blanc.
"The Man of a Thousand Voices" was Carmichael the Polar Bear, who lived improbably in Jack's cellar. He was Professor LeBlanc, Jack's violin teacher, whose French accent seemed to mimic every wail of his pupil's tortured strings. He was Polly the Parrot, Jack's impudent bird, who was less interested in crackers than in putting his master in his place.
Come hear 8 digitally remastered episodes starring Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, and Don Wilson, and guess who Mel Blanc will pop up as next!
Includes a Program Guide by radio historian Elizabeth McLeod.

What are premium domain names?
Premium names are highly desirable domain names that are generally available at a higher price than regular domain names.
All domain names are not equal. There are various factors that lend value to a domain name, for instance, the number of characters in the name, common keywords, or how memorable the name is. Invariably, such domain names are sold at a higher price than regular domain names, particularly if they represent a concept, idea, or category.
Advantages of premium names
A premium domain name makes an instant impression on the target audience, irrespective of the category or type of business. It provides a boost in search engine optimization efforts, and may also improve type-in traffic from visitors specifically looking for a product, service or idea. As such, it helps businesses and users welcome visitors that may not otherwise reach their website. It also means that users know exactly what to expect from the website, since the name makes the value proposition clear to the visitor. This can save any company a lot of time, money and effort in branding, to influence prospective customers.
Premium domains are also great for word-of-mouth and physical marketing activities - a short and memorable name makes it easy for users to come to the site much after they've seen it on TV or a billboard, or just heard about it from a friend. Ultimately, a high quality name helps you make a real statement about your business.
Types of premium domain names
Depending on their source and ownership, there are two types of premium domain names -
Premium names sold by Registries
High quality domain names in various domain extensions are often made available at a higher price by the respective Registries. Though the price is higher, these names can be registered in the same way as regular domain names. If a name you're looking for happens to be premium, the search results will indicate as much, and show the actual price for the domain name.
Registry-sold premium domains may be of two types -
- Some domains may be sold at a very high initial price, but will renew or transfer at the same price as a regular domain name
- Other domains may be sold at a higher price, but will also renew or transfer at the same higher price
Aftermarket premium names
These are domain names that have already been registered by other customers; however, the current owner is offering them for sale. Such sales happen through various registrars and aftermarket services. At FacilWeb.com.bo, we have partnered with several aftermarket platforms in order to bring such high-quality domains to our customers, and they can be purchased directly on the website.
The process to buy an aftermarket domain is different from the regular domain registration process. Since these names are already registered, they must be transferred from the seller's registrar to the buyer's account on FacilWeb.com.bo. The transfer process for these names is simplified, so you don't need to take any extra steps when buying a premium domain name.
Aftermarket premium domains are generally available across all of the popular TLDs, including .COM, .NET and various ccTLDs where the registries don't sell any premium names themselves. Aftermarket premium names have a high initial price, but renew or transfer at the same price as normal domain names in that TLD.
How do I buy a premium domain name?
The process of buying a premium domain name is not different from buying ordinary domain names - when you search for domain names on the FacilWeb.com.bo website, premium names matching your search request will be included in the results. These results will also indicate if the name renews at a premium price, or if the renewal pricing will be similar to regular names.
When you add a premium name to your shopping cart and make the payment for it, we will start the process of acquiring it for you. Once the name has been secured, it will be activated in your control panel, and can be managed like any other domain name.
- The price for Premium Domains is set by the registry or the current owner of the domain name and is non-negotiable.
- Activation of registry-sold premium names happens almost instantly, just like regular domain names.
- Activation of aftermarket premium names may, depending on the seller and the aftermarket platform, take between 1-3 weeks to complete.

Channels and gratings are electropolished. This process creates a shiny defect-free surface which minimizes cleaning and maintenance for a high class finish. The textured appearance of the grate is still visible after electro-polishing and helps reduce the appearance of finger prints and soap residue.
Oil-rubbed bronze
In order to complement the latest trend in bathroom fixtures, the channel and grate are also available in oil-rubbed bronze. This finish is applied over the same stainless steel base to ensure a long serving and quality product.
A linear shower channel drain, such as QuARTz by ACO, provide a number of advantages over circular point drains. First of all, flexibility in positioning allows you to place the shower channel drain in the center of a shower or other wet area, against the walls, or let it act as the threshold. As a threshold, it becomes the water barrier that keeps dry zones dry. This allows for more of an open floor plan and traffic flow because it allows the shower or other wet area to be open, without the need of a door.
QuARTz linear shower channel drains come in standard tile widths which mean all those tricky, complicated tile cuts around radii to make something fit are eliminated. The innovation of a flat, shower channel adds to the aesthetic beauty of your bathroom area. The layout can be more open and uncluttered by doors and doorway thresholds that were in place to be water barriers. Now that your floor has its own water barrier in the form of a QuARTz linear shower channel drain, that shower door is no longer needed.
QuARTz linear shower channel drains have a distinctive, attractive European design. Drains are available in 28", 32", 36", 40", 48" and 55" lengths. In combination, it is likely that any area where you would like to have a linear shower channel fills the space, can be done. With eight different slot designs, and two types of finishes, there is a design and finish to fit all styles and tastes. QuARTz linear shower channel drains come in either electro-polished, stainless steel and oil-rubbed bronze.
