Today the Motor City, Detroit, once the heartbeat of American industry, the city of Detroit went bankrupt. Let that soak in for a moment.
Most cities go through up and down cycles of expansion and stagnation, but Detroit has been in a death spiral for decades.
In 1970 the auto industry was slowly shifting production out of Detroit, still one a half million people were living in that city. But since then more than half of that population has moved away, and a great deal of the wealth has disappeared or moved to the suburbs, Detroit's tax base has disintegrated.
Talk about a tale of two cities.
In that same time, from 1970 to today, Oklahoma City's population has INCREASED by 64 percent. After stumbling through the oil bust in the 80's city leaders and citizens agreed on a long-term strategy to build a better city, and folks as exciting as it's been just hold on.
The Oklahoman's Steve Lackmeyer, whom I regard as the leading expert on central Oklahoma City tweeted today that's he's blown away by the level of development set to take place downtown, and told me tonight all of the forthcoming private and public projects are like MAPS times 10.
I realize Oklahoma City was never in the desperate straits Detroit is right now … $18 billion in the hole ... but it's an interesting comparison of how two cities reacted to hard times.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"From start to finish this was a great experience. I had to call for help twice and the customer service reps were so pleasant and helpful. My order came early, which was fabulous and I loved the weight of the paper, as well as the design that I chose. I am a VERY happy customer."
"Ordering invitations online couldn't have been easier. WPD was so easy to work with and they were quick too! I absolutely love the finished product. I never would have thought that ordering something online instead of from a live person could be so easy and that the product would be so awesome. I will be back!"
"This invite is just amazing. I love it, it is traditional with a modern touch! I love that! I would recommend getting this in the signature white textured paper rather than the fancy shimmery paper. I wish i got this invite with the round edges rather than straight however, it all still looked beautiful! This will definitely wow your guests!"
"I looked long and hard for just the right invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner. This card utilized two of the couple's engagement photos in such a beautiful way. I am very pleased with the outcome and put them in the mail today! Keep in mind that this size requires additional postage."
"The invitations are absolutely beautiful. They were everything I hoped for and more. I had a hard time finding response cards to match and they changed the colors on the response cards to match the invites perfectly without me even asking. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it when I opened the box and saw them. I highly recommend these invites. The pictures add such a classy touch you would expect them to have been a lot more expensive than they were. My family raved about them."

I am finally home again, freed from what could be called "House arrest."
Originally, the Parliamentary calendar looked favourable for a Wednesday adjournment for St. Jean Baptiste Day. Instead, we adjourned on Saturday night around 8:30 pm, after a marathon session that began with a "hoist" motion from Jack Layton on Thursday evening. In the strange and magical world of Parliamentary tradition, the day stretched on, as all the debates for the next 48 hours took place "officially" on Thursday, June 23. We voted on the Canada Post back-to-work legislation at around 60 o'clock on Thursday June 23rd.
From the routine start of my day Thursday until Saturday night, I did not leave the building. I didn't want to miss a vote. And (if at all possible) I wanted to inject a plea for compromise from both the Harper Conservatives and the NDP Official Opposition. Compromise was the best way to get mail moving and avoid the draconian back to work legislation tabled by the government. Sadly, the Harper government was completely inflexible. While the Harper conservatives were the clear architects of this debacle, the NDP was not entirely blameless. Some of their tactics (escalating rhetoric in the House and refusal to share NDP amendments until the filibuster was all but over) were unhelpful.
Resisting jumping to hasty conclusions, I have some observations to share, some prompted by questions to me on twitter that defy short tweet-form answers. Tweets are a great communication tool. Haiku-like, they require concise thinking. They are, nonetheless, inadequate to explain complex political machinations.
Filibusters- Why does Parliament insist on sleep deprivation?
The whole filibuster manoeuvre is unusual in Canadian political tradition. In 1999, the Reform Party under Stockwell Day filibustered to delay passage of the Nisga'a Treaty. That remains the longest filibuster. One tweet asked why Parliament cannot take breaks. The normal House of Commons day is full of breaks. It is only when the House is in a filibuster mode that there are no breaks. As long as there are MPs to rise and speak to an issue, the filibuster can go on….and on.
The great Frank Kapra film, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington," has our hero Jimmy Stewart in a US-style filibuster. In the US Congress, a lone Senator can filibuster as long as he or she can stand and speak without a break. Canadian filibusters allow for MPs to operate in shifts. So the larger parties organized themselves to share the load round the clock. Being in the Opposition Lobby where all of us -- the NDP, Liberal, Bloc and the lone Green MP -- have a space for meetings, coffee, meals brought in, etc, starting Wednesday night I heard snippets of conversations about the rotating shift work of each party. I realized I would have to be there all the time or the Green Party voice would be lost. So I packed Thursday AM for a long haul. Essential "freshening up" toiletries, re-charger cords for blackberry, and a few changes of clothing, and I planned to be awake for the next 48 hours and see how it would go from there. Based on the marathon rounds in UN climate meetings, I knew I could function through a 48 hour sleepless work shift. How I would manage if the filibuster went on for weeks was something I was prepared to figure out as events unfolded.
How did the filibuster happen?
The Harper government tabled the Canada Post back to work legislation (Bill C-6. "C" is for "Commons"; 6 because it was the 6th bill in the 41st Parliament).
Then the government brought in an oddly worded motion for on Tuesday. Peter Van Loan (Conservative House leader) moved that the bill would have all three readings without adjournment and that the bill would not go to the labour committee, but would have a hearing of the Committee of the Whole. The Committee of the Whole is the whole of the House of Commons meeting as a committee. If that motion had been worded differently, it would not have left an opening for Layton's "hoist" motion (to delay taking up the bill for 6 months). A hoist motion can only be made at second reading and with the process established by the Government motion, lacking time limits, Layton had the opportunity to move the bill be set aside for the next 6 months.
Ask yourself: what are the chances that the Harper government made a mistake with the way the motion was worded and what are the chances it was a deliberate move to set a trap for the NDP? What followed was high theatre, dramatic and increasingly partisan over-the-top rhetoric from both of the main parties. I wish we had done better by the workers. Less rhetoric and more flexibility might have helped.
Some on twitter have asked if there was less civility as the filibuster wore on. Unquestionably, the answer if "yes." Government members heckled just as they did before the election. The NDP pledge to refuse to heckle also broke down (albeit not as severely). NDP attacks got personal. I happen to like Labour Minister Lisa Raitt. I know I am naïve about people. And I may be unduly influenced knowing she is from Cape Breton, and that her dad and brother died from cancer from the coke ovens and steel mill I worked to clean up for so long. No question, the legislation was egregious. As Labour Minister, she is responsible for a dreadful precedent, but I felt really uncomfortable as the attacks in the House turned on Lisa in a very personal way.
What was wrong with Bill C-6?
I don't think the Opposition Parties would have objected to back to work legislation that told Canada Post to end the lock-out and then moved the dispute to binding arbitration. This bill was opposed because it was so one-sided in supporting management over the workers.
The dispute was largely not precipitated by the union. The mail was still moving, despite revolving strikes by CUPW, when management locked out the workers and brought mail delivery to a standstill. This created the crisis to allow the government to bring in back to work legislation. As has been noted by many in the media, it appeared that the government was working in collusion with Canada Post management. Once Canada Post locked out the workers, it was the government's turn to bring in a bill that would get the mail moving, but would fix wage increases at less than Canada Post had already offered. Salaries were not the main sticking point in any event. Health and safety and pensions ranked higher. The Bill tied the hands of the arbitrator by instructing the arbitrator to set terms and working conditions to be consistent with other "comparable postal industries." Of course, there is no operation comparable to Canada Post. No other operation delivers mail everywhere -- to those places where you can make money and those rural and remote locations where daily mail delivery is a public service.
The legislation also instructed the arbitrator to only rely on certain sections of the Canada Labour Code. Various flexible solutions that should have been available to the arbitrator have been taken off the table. Also unpalatable was the prescription of "final offer selection"—further tying the arbitrator's hands.
Every labour lawyer and academic who has spoken out about this bill has opposed it as bad legislation.
What next?
Public sector workers have every reason to be fearful. The government's approach on Air Canada (not public sector) and on Canada Post suggests an interventionist, pro-management, anti-labour agenda. We need to protect collective bargaining and labour rights in general. The empirical evidence is over-whelming that the healthiest economies have strong unions. On the other hand, demonizing all employers and ignoring the fact that many Canadian workers are non-unionized creates unnecessary conflict.
Beyond labour unrest, this experience does not auger well for the next four years. Some commentators hoped that the Prime Minister would moderate his behaviour knowing he has four years with a majority in the House and the Senate. Some pundits thought we might see a kinder, gentler Stephen Harper. Maybe we still will. But the last few weeks suggest the government will rely on "might makes right." Somehow we need to create an atmosphere that encourages consensus over surrender. Governing over bullying. And a commitment to Canada over excessive partisanship. The summer could be a cooling off period for hot tempers.
What else happened this week?
A huge low point was Canada alone blocking consensus in Geneva for the listing of asbestos as "hazardous" under the Rotterdam convention. Traditional allies were enraged by Canada's action. Adding insult to serious injury, the Prime minister chose to visit the asbestos region of Quebec to celebrate his success in keeping asbestos unlabeled as we ship it to the developing world.
The main and supplementary estimates were passed. The mega-trials bill (with no improvements) cleared its final hurdles. (I voted for it as it is, over all, good legislation, but it may well run into trouble due to the refusal of the Conservatives and NDP to allow amendments).
Parliament is now adjourned until September 19.

I made this for Thanksgiving dessert. I served it with some whipped cream on top and it tasted so delicious. Love the low PPVs.
This was eaten before the pies I made for everyone else. What is a better way to say 16 tbsp. of cream cheese? It takes way too long to measure. Is this 1/2 cup, 8 oz., etc.?
@ longlivea$ap (april), maybe you can try some parchment paper too, along with spraying the pan. I usually do that when I bake to help with sticking.
Great recipe, my bf who is a human garbage disposal had no idea it was a weight watchers recipe! Only one problem even though I sprayed the pan, my crust still stuck to the pan- any suggestion?

According to Sarah Tucker, vice chancellor for community and technical college education in West Virginia, a trend is occurring in community colleges.
On Nov. 18, Tucker explained to lawmakers in the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability that the occurring trend is a disparity between the number of males and females in community colleges.
"We've seen a much higher decline in male enrollment over the past year," she said. "This is true for both enrollment and graduation numbers."
What is the reason for females outnumbering their male peers?
Tucker said that while health programs have been a real pull for females, some technical programs have had a hard time retaining men.
By focusing on technical programs that are more likely to enroll males and with a new Department of Labor grant, Tucker said males will hopefully be attracted into continuing technical colleges.
"We do want to increase the number of males coming to our institutions," she said.
Although budget cuts are more than likely to occur in the near future, Tucker said she is ready to take on that challenge.
"Budget cuts will be challenging," she said. "We're very aware of this situation and we're trying to come up with creative ideas for how to handle it."

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - July was a good month for unemployment numbers both locally and in the state.

The City of Sheboygan also saw its rate drop 0.7-percent to 7.3. This occured despite a drop in employed workers in the Sheboygan metro area of 700 from June.

- My favorite!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014This is my favorite restaurant. casual enough to make you feel at home, but with superior selections. I've been to restaurant Eve, Vermillion, you name it -- this is my favorite place. I'm here every few weeks. Even the drive out here is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in Fairfax CountyOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/20/2014The food here is the best in Fairfax County, by a long shot. For any special occasion or just a nice night out, Trummer's is as good as it gets. Each dish is executed with precision. This is a James Beard-worthy restaurant.Special Features:
- Just simply outstanding.PointmanDined on 9/19/2014Having eaten at some of the best restaurants in DC, we continue to return to Trummer's on Main for our date nights and special occasions. Why? Because of Chef Austin's wonderful food, co-owner Stefan Trummer's creative and delicious cocktails, and because of consistently high quality service. The fact that it's all bundled in a 200 year old house is a nice historic bonus. Great people, great food - it's our #1 restaurant favorite in Metro DC. It's not inexpensive - but it's a great value.Special Features:
- loved it! Loved it!YummytummyVIPDined on 9/14/2014First time eating there. We went there for brunch and can't waitbto go back for dinner soon! From food to ambience to service everything was outstanding!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Taste every flavor...MikeLDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I love Trummer's and are never disappointed with the food or service. The chef is creative and every dish pops with flavor. The service is attentive and prompt (but never rushed). We definitely recommend this gem of a restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 40FoodieDined on 9/12/2014We went for our anniversary because it is close to home and has great atmosphere. We were given a very romantic table and the service and food were fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or want a wonderful dinner out. It is expensive, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the CostSliverhidesDined on 9/5/2014My wife and I dined here for our 24th anniversary. We did the tasting menu with wine paring. We had a great time. The meal consisted of eight courses the least of which I thought was ok, but my wife loved (beef tartare appetizer). The lobster was perfectly cooked and the sauce was divine, I would have like a whole bowl of it. My favorite dish was the Seared duck breast. It was the best duck I have ever had. The skin was perfectly seared and the breast was tender and juicy and paired perfectly with the cherry jam. It is an expensive evening out, but for special occasions well worth it.Special Features:
- DisappointedPatriot522Dined on 9/5/2014This was the second visit for me and my wife. Both were disappointments. During the past Valentines Day Trummer's was expecting a crowd and they had tables everywhere and the food was ok - not great. We decided to give them a second try for our anniversary. When we showed up at 6:30 the main diningroom was a quarter full with a large table set for a later party. I ordered fried green tomatoes and she, fried squash blossoms. The presentation was very nice for both. Unfortunately the flavor didn't match the looks though, both were blah. For the main course I had short ribs and my wife had the borcheta. Again both meals had a great presentation but not much flavor. Don't think we'll try them again.Special Features:
- Just ok.Jp1234Dined on 8/30/2014I would not not say that the food was bad, but nothing impressed me. For the price, I need to be a little wowed
- Bigger IS NOT BetterJonZvuDined on 8/30/2014Far too many restaurants serve portions much too large. Trimmers does it right with each serving apportioned so the customer can anticipate the next serving with the "echo" of the terrific taste of the preceding serving and free from the guilt of being stuffed.Special Features:
- Worth the trip-come visit TrummersAgentKathyDined on 8/30/2014What a wonderful meal. We did the 4 course restaurant week menu with wine pairing and every course was perfect and the wine pairing really made the meal. Arrive to Clifton a little early and take a moment to visit some of the small surround shops, worth the trip!Special Features:
- Our favorite restaurantLarryVIPDined on 8/30/2014My wife and I have been to this restaurant three times within the month of August. This is our favorite restaurant.Special Features:
- Great Restuarant in CliftonMarkDined on 8/29/2014It's always a treat to go to Trummer's - an interesting menu that is always fun and changing, with excellent tastes and combination. Tasting menu is a great value and the service is tops.Special Features:
- What a find!JoannDined on 8/24/2014This restaurant is not to be missed. Originally we were there for a group event. We went back a second time to celebrate an occasion, both times, were fabulous. The staff members made sure we had a great experience. The food was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant week!TangowoodVIPDined on 8/23/2014As if we needed another excuse to enjoy Trummer's, along comes Restaurant Week -- extended until the end of August, so do go while there are still a few days left. As always, superb food -- staring with the gazpacho and maybe the best ceviche I've ever had, then the flounder and the rockfish for our main courses, ending with the chocolate and the peach desserts. Also as always, quietly professional yet warm and friendly service. No wonder it's so highly rated!Special Features:
- Great DiningTotalEnjoymentDined on 8/23/2014Totally enjoyed the experience from reservation to payment... the best part was the eating - great food selection and able to accommodate food allergies / sensitivity for the tasting menu. Outstanding service and selection. The meal options were great and the food was fantastic (you must have the rockfish, as well as the chocolate cake). And the popcorn ice-cream is a must-try! Extensive wine list suitable to all tastes; also have a great beer, lager selection (complete with micro-brews). Located in Historic Clifton which lends to the ambience. Will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Time/mealLarryVIPDined on 8/23/2014My wife and I really enjoy going to this restaurant. Food and especially the service are always great. The owner greeted us personally as well as the rest of the staff. The people here are very friendly and good at what they do.Special Features:
- marysl88VIPDined on 8/23/2014I don't know what had changed at Trummer's, but our Restaurant Week experience was tremendous. We used to go to Trummer's frequently and the food experience ranged from transformative to unimpressive. The four in our party all raved about all of our dishes. Super fresh and with subtle flavor combinations that blended beautifully. Plus, our service was outstanding. A friendly, professional, attentive server who seemed to know just when to visit our table and when to make himself scarce. I'm looking to going back as soon as possible.Special Features:
- mmmmmDined on 8/22/2014We dine at Trummer's about once a year when we are in town. This year the experience definitely topped last year's. The new chef hit the mark and the "Pain and Pleasure" cocktail was outstanding. Our server was also fantastic. We were there during restaurant week and chose the 3 course offering. Our server gave us an additional complementary scallop course ( not one we had chosen) and it was a delicious surprise. We are looking forward to our visit there next year.Special Features:
- Fantastic!B2reviewDined on 8/22/2014Restaurant week special menu was just amazing all paired with the perfect wine. Nothing more to say.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently DeliciousNicholeDined on 8/22/2014The food, presentation, and service are consistently amazing. The combination of tastings always keeps us interested and excited. We love eating at Trummer's!Special Features:
- A great dinner and experienceLovebug2Dined on 8/22/2014As far as the service goes: Our waiter was friendly and personable. There was a mix up with an order and the sommelier arrived promptly and made it better. She, the waiter and manager regularly checked in on us through the evening. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Although the servings appeared to be limited they were not! We had sufficient food for dinner and to share with each other. As a side note: we had gone, unknowingly, during restaurant week. The special menu certainly was adequate to choose a 3 or 4 course dinner with or without wine pairing. Aside from that, we had a preference for something not in the menu and they still accommodated us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome find!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/21/2014We really enjoyed Trummers on Main. I would never think there would such a fine dining restaurant so far out in the country. The food was amazing and the presentation top notch Service was great too! We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timer at Trummer'sJustUs2Dined on 8/21/2014Fanfastic spot for a local date night! We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the meal. Surprise it was actually restaurant week and we were able to partake in two choice entrees and share in two fabulous drink choices. We will definitely be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exquisite dining but expensiveRetiredDined on 8/19/2014This was for my daughter's birthday, and we had a wonderful dinner for a special occasion. The rockfish was just superb. We tried several of their cocktails, and they were all very good, as was the service. Driving out in the country far more relaxing than getting around in the city. However, the prices keep us from going to Trummer's very often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good mealsagcDined on 8/17/2014Despite he fact that the restaurant was very busy, the service was excellent. We were in and out in an hour and 15 minutes without feeling the least bit rushed. We weren't looking for a long leisurely meal so this was perfect. If we had been I think we could have stayed longer without a problem. The meal was very good. My husband asked to substitute a side dish for another and they couldn't do it. Understandable since they were really busy. I ate his side dish (something he just doesn't like) and it was excellent. I tried to trade him my pasta for it but that was al dente to the point of being difficult to chew. He said his fish was wonderful my sausage (with the underdone pasta) was very good. The gazpacho was excellent except for sprouts.
- KatherineDined on 8/16/2014We had a great time here! The food and service were amazing and the restaurant had a very nice ambiance. The staff was very attentive and constantly addressed our food allergies, which was great. We went for Restaurant Week but will definitely come again to try the regular menu and/or brunch.Special Features:
- TOP NOTCHleeroyboyDined on 8/16/2014Our first time at Trummer's was during restaurant week. We had heard some very good things about the place, and they did not disappoint. The honey brined chicken was the most tender and flavorful we have ever had - hands down the best! The rockfish was impeccably fresh and delicious. Appetizers (golden tilefish ceviche and yellow tomato gazpacho) were unique and amazing. The Rappahannock oysters were fresh and briny - perfect. Service was excellent - attentive and responsive, not rushed or overbearing. Couldn't have been a better night - we will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Truly AwfulOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/16/2014My wife went to Trummer's to celebrate our 2nd wedding aniversary because our wedding reception was held at Trummers. The only bright spot of the evening was that our reservation was for 7pm and we were seated promptly. From the time we sat down until we actually placed our food order took 30 minutes. It took us a good 20 minutes to get a drink. Service was truly awful. We weren't made aware that it was restaurant week and I guess shame on us for not checking. We ordered the 3 course menu and it took a solid 45 minutes for us to get our main course after being served the 1st course. I believe the waiter (Kevin) was upset that we didn't order a bottle of wine. I don't drink, but my wife ordered a glass of wine.
- alwaysgoodalwaysgoodDined on 8/16/2014Food is outstanding and so is the service. Restaurant week is a great way to enjoy your first visit, but you will go back. bar food is inexpensive and sooooooo goooooooodSpecial Features:
- A bit dissapointingYnotjuseatnbhappyDined on 8/15/2014Came here for dinner with my girlfriends, but not expecting much since it was for "Restaurant weeK" and most of these higher end restaurant only offer a snippet of their regular menu or create an entirely different menu all together to offer those who normally would not dine there a chance or rather taste of what their $35 affords them. Overall the food was so-so, with it's rendering of compact array of forcefully designed decorative plates of edibles. We had an 8 o'clock reservation and expected at tops a two hour dining experience. However, turned into 3. Service was slow and dragged on, with multiple attempts on our end to actually just get a waiter to take our orders. Perhaps, they need to train their wait staff to be more attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely EveningyumfoodyumDined on 8/15/2014We chose to dine off the restaurant week (month) menu, which had a variety of choices, as well as alternate options for an enhanced experience. Everything was delicious. Service was good, despite the area being crowded.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/15/2014The food was good, but it took way too long for the food to come out. It took about 30 min for the appetizers to come out, then another hour before we saw the entree. It is unacceptable for a restaurant in this price range to be this way.Special Features:
- Great flavorsRTCcycleVIPDined on 8/15/2014We went for restaurant week, but changed our minds for the 4 course tasting with wine pairing. Excellent experience and well thought out pairings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/15/2014We ate outside on the patio, had some train, airplane and car noise but it was not enough to be an issue. In the great room, it was rather noisy. The Titanic drink was superb and so was the cerviche and yellow tomato gazpacho. The rockfish could have uses a bit more flavor but was an excellent piece of fish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- family at trummer's on mainVAMinnersDined on 8/14/2014this is recurring dinner out for us. always close to perfect. great food, great wine, great service, great locale. did i say great wine...:-) we always make this a stop during annual restaurant week, with recurring visits in between...always the best!Special Features:
- Always a winnernice2goDined on 8/13/2014Outstanding service as always and the Restaurant Week menu was interesting as well as delicious. The yellow gazpacho was fantastic. A martini that was not to our liking was whisked away, taken off the bill and a perfect replacement appeared. Absolutely the way to make friends and return customers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Product Comments: This product fit my Fiancee and I perfectly, he is actually the one that picked this one out from the 5 samples I ordered! It does take a little work to fold them, but not much at all (it only took me about 40 minutes for 100, and that is with a toddler trying to help so it took extra time). I had seen reviews saying they were not aware they would have to fold the invitations themselves until they arrived, but that is clearly visible during the personalization process. The only thing I would change is the option to have a different color option than gold on them, but it still works great for me. That is just one minor detail and doesn't have to perfectly match the ceremony itself anyway. I was very pleased with this product.

Product Comments: I thought this wedding invite was cute and simple. I was able to personalize it, which I liked. My only suggestion would be to not have to fold it over because it makes it look like a little lower quality. If it folded once it would look more like a wedding invite. Has too much extra paper because of the folds.
By Candacefrom Florida
Product Comments: I got my invitations and they were made out of cheap printer type paper and the font was gold. When I bought these invites I didnt see a spot to change the color! It should automatically come with black writing to match not gold! It looks like I made these myself. I actually could've made them. I'm very unhappy with them. Paper was just terriable quality!!!!

This year's top fundraising award went to The Book of Mormon, which raised $286,725.
The community total ebbed slightly from last year's $3,706,085 and the $3,734,000 all-time record set in 2008. This year's total was raised by 52 participating Broadway, Off-Broadway and touring shows.
Special guests Ricky Martin (Evita), Audra McDonald (The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess ) and Eric McCormack (Gore Vidal's The Best Man) presented the awards at the Minskoff on April 24 following the two Easter Bonnet performances (one on Monday, one on Tuesday).
The award for outstanding bonnet design went to the Broadway company of Mamma Mia! for a hat consisting of a giant lavender blossom opening on an earthlike blue globe brightened by sparkling LED lights.
The company of Broadway's The Lion King took the top prize for bonnet presentation, with a performance called "Hallelujah Harlem," featuring members of the Broadway cast tapping and singing gospel in period clothes in an evocation of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance era. Church women in big hats combined the hats to make a bonnet resembling the marquee of Harlem's iconic Apollo Theatre.

Named runner-up for performance were the precocious kid thespians of Mary Poppins, who once again (as they did a year ago) tackled scenes from grownup dramas. This year they went for the jugular, waving gory weapons in scenes from Sweeney Todd ("A Little Priest"), Medea and Macbeth. "I gave you my womanhood," one moppet proclaimed as Medea and she waved two bloody dolls, "and now I'm taking it back!" The Scottish Play's curse continued, however, and the presentation missed the top prize once again.
As they did in 2011, the two touring companies of the musical Wicked took the top fundraising awards among national tours. The "Emerald City" company earned $280,014 and the "Munchkinland" company the (last two years' top fundraiser) was a runner-up this year, collecting $166,434 in the fight against AIDS.
Some other facts and figures:
Broadway Runners-Up for Fundraising
Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark at $231,997, Wicked at $204,777, The Phantom of the Opera at $144,899 and How To Succeed… at $144,179
Touring Runners-Up for Fundraising
Les Misérables at $158,816, American Idiot at $141,661 and Mamma Mia! at $128,033
Broadway Play That Raised the Most
Other Desert Cities at $71,965
Off-Broadway Shows That Raised the Most
Rent at $38,265 and Avenue Q at $30,094
Dollar totals may change after a detailed accounting is completed.
Similar to BC/EFA's annual Gypsy of the Year event, the Easter Bonnet Competition presents cast members from various shows performing skits, songs and/or dances frequently spoofing themselves and other shows before unveiling their elaborate "Easter Bonnet" presentation (literally, a trouper wearing an outsized novelty bonnet).
Though top prize went to The Lion King's fondly nostalgic evocation of Harlem's golden age, funny skits laced with insider jokes once again predominated at Easter Bonnet.
Several skits parodied popular TV shows and films. The "Easter Bonnet" opening number paid tribute to the Broadway-set TV series "Smash" (along with Broadway's bumper crop of religion-themed shows) in a piece directed and choreographed by Rommy Sandhu, and written by David Beach and Stacia Fernandez.

What's with all the short-term memory loss down at the NR?
County government welcomed "two new commissioners" following the 2002 election, as well as following the 1994 election.
It is true that this is the first commissioner election, in quite some time, featuring two races without an incumbent seeking re-election, but that requires a different statement.
It is too bad that the NR will refrain from making an endorsement for the other commissioner race. I understand erring on the side of caution to avoid any appearance of insider bias, or possibly creating a hostile work environment for Sal, but I think it short-changes the readers of the newspaper, as well as the other candidates who may be looking for an honest assessment of their fit in the community, through the eyes of local media.
As for the other race, we followed a long-standing policy, last used when former News-Register Viewpoints Editor Cassie Sollars ran for county commissioner.
Your interest in our thoughts about that race would have been lost in a flurry of criticism if we endorsed Sal, and as you noted, our workplace would suffer if we endorsed a different candidate. With that kind of built-in conflict of interests, we chose to sit that one out as we have done in the past.

Report reveals many health benefits of soy foods
April 20, 2009 by Personal Liberty News Desk
According to the April issue of the Journal of Nutrition, soy products play an important role in promoting heart and bone health.
This conclusion is based on a comprehensive review of available medical literature which was presented at the 8th International Soy Symposium recently held in Tokyo.
It details studies which have shown soy protein reduces total and LDL cholesterol by approximately 5 percent, which is associated with a reduction in the risk of heart disease from 10 to 15 percent.
"The cholesterol-lowering effects of soy protein are similar to those of soluble fiber and certainly relevant from a public health perspective," says Dr. Mark Messina, professor of nutrition at Loma Linda University and author of the report.
"Integrating a variety of heart-healthy foods – like soy, beans, nuts and certain vegetables – together into a healthy lifestyle is really the best approach to heart health," he adds.
Other research discussed at the symposium provided evidence that soy foods promote bone health.
One study, conducted in Italy, found women taking soy extract experienced an 8 to 9 percent increase in spinal and hip bone mineral density, whereas those a placebo saw their bone density decrease at those sites by an average of 10 percent.
According to the article, the bulk of research on the health impact of soy has been inspired by the low rate of hip fractures among Asians, a population known to have a high rate of soy consumption.

You've probably noticed that you read a lot of stories on Arctic melt, how quickly it's progressing, opening up shipping lanes and low cost tramadol hurriedly moving towards ice-free summers. But what you don't read much about is melting of Antarctica's ice sheets. If global warming is causing polar ice melt - why don't we hear about Antarctica?
Well, that's because the continent's ice sheets aren't melting that much - not yet. Warming and melting are happening: the Antarctic peninsula is continually melting, the Wilkins ice shelf is collapsing, but overall the change is 100 mg cialis happening slowly (thankfully).
The reason for this is higher temperatures are mainly occuring during the winter and spring instead of the summer when almost all of the melt happens. The summer has been shielded from warming by strong circumpolar winds. Stronger winds act like a cold air seal, keeping warm air out. Over the wow)) cialis from canadian pharmacy past few decades, the winds have been stronger because of a thinner ozone layer, but that is reversing itself. Over the coming decades, the ozone layer will thicken, winds will become weaker, and warming - and melting - will increase.
Now, here's why that's scary. Antarctica's ice sheets contain enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 60 meters. We've all seen the slideshow. So, for now, Antarctic ice is acting a bit like a sleeping giant, let's hope we find a way not to wake it.

Ice shelves act as a dam at the base of Antarctic glaciers. When the ice shelves are reduced, the glaciers move into the sea at a faster rate which reduces glacial thickness.

Yes, there are stories of melting ice (fast or slow) but are there stories of ice growing that are not being "fed" to us?
If this truly is global warming (p.s. it's happened before - so has global cooling; seemingly scarier); we are NOT going to stop it or slow it down*...species are going to have move, adapt or die (evolution).
*Why? The book "The Left Hand of the Electron", by Isaac Asimov, provides a remarkable insight into a few topics(6); one of them being water...I suggest you read the book; at least the amazing principles of cialis brand water and very good site generic viagra canadian ice.
Here is someone else's take:
"What's so special—chemically—about water? Was Shakespeare's science any good? Are yin and yang valid scientific principles? Maybe these aren't the questions that keep you up at night, but the facts behind them are among the the best site cheap cialis uk most fascinating in the world."

The "vortex" of high winds is www.blickueberdenzaun.de caused by cold air descending from high altitudes during the dark Antarctic winter. When the sun returns, absorption of UV light by ozone warms the air at high altitudes, and the vortex eventually dissipates.
The lack of ozone means the air at high altitudes warms more slowly, and the vortex and the isolation of the area inside it, persists for longer into the summer.

IRS increasing audits of the rich
Agency changes course, looking more closely at returns of taxpayers making more than $500,000. Questions include details of magazine subsriptions.
This article is by Laura Saunders of The Wall Street Journal.
The Internal Revenue Service is stepping up audits of wealthier taxpayers as part of a multiyear effort to crack down on tax avoidance.
According to the agency's latest statistical report for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the percentage of taxpayers who were audited increased in every category of adjusted gross income above $500,000, compared with a year earlier.
The biggest jumps came at the top of the income ladder. About 18% of Americans earning at least $10 million were audited in fiscal 2010, up from 11% in fiscal 2009, according to the IRS. For those earning $500,000 to $1 million, the audit rate rose to 3.4% from 2.8%.
Accountants and tax preparers said the IRS's heightened scrutiny of wealthier taxpayers is in sharp contrast to the agency's audit practices during the previous decade.
David Lifson, an accountant in New York for Crowe Horwath LLP, said the number of audits among his high-earning clients has "at least doubled, if not tripled" in the past two years. The audits often are "correspondence" exams in which a series of letters is exchanged. Such exams account for more than 70% of IRS audits of individuals.
"They are touching a broader group of high-income taxpayers, asking about one or two issues at a time," Lifson said. Common issues include high deductions for mortgage interest and charitable gifts.
In 2009, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman announced limited amnesty for U.S. taxpayers with undeclared offshore accounts, as well as creation of the agency's Global High Wealth Industry group, known as the "wealth squad," to undertake detailed audits of the highly affluent.
The IRS announced in February another limited amnesty, with tougher terms, for undeclared foreign accounts. It ends Aug. 31.
Janet Hagy, a certified public accountant in Austin, Texas, with about 800 affluent clients, said she has handled more than a dozen audit cases in the past year, up from none in "four or five years" of the past decade. Those cases were resolved relatively easily, such as by substantiating capital gains or interest expense, she said.
The scrutiny can be much more intense.
In the process of setting up a comprehensive audit for one taxpayer with an income of more than $10 million, the IRS tapped six agents and a lawyer with wide-ranging expertise, said Martin Press, a tax lawyer at Gunster, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., law firm.
The agency also submitted a battery of detailed questions, including which magazines the taxpayer subscribed to and how deeply involved the client's wife was in the business.
Andrew Mattson, a certified public accountant at Moler, Nixon & Williams in Campbell, Calif., has a redacted copy of a nine-page document request from an IRS "wealth squad" in June 2010 that contained more than 60 detailed questions. Among the demands: details on assets transferred to children or relatives, hedge-fund or private-equity investments, asset appraisals and copies of compensation agreements.
Complying with such requests can cost at least $10,000 in accounting fees, excluding legal fees, Mattson estimated.
Some accountants are trying to head off audits by the IRS.
James Guarino of Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico, a Tewskbury, Mass., accounting firm, said that if a client donates closely held stock to a charity, he provides a summary of key points in addition to the appraisal that is required by law.
More from The Wall Street Journal and MSN Money:
Everyone who has an income should have at least a chance to be audited...but it only makes sense to concentrate limited manpower on wealthier earners as their impact is much more if they cheated the system
Same as i would rather police concentrate on speeder breaking the speed limit by AT LEAST 10 mph than hitting a bunch of people going 5 miles an hour over the limit.. people going 20 mph over the limit are a much greater threat than someone going 5 mph over the limit (even though technically they are both breaking the law)
Why stop at auditing people who earn 500,000.00 or more.
You have the C.E.O.s of all the companies, the politicians.
Throw Mr. bonehead, (I mean Mr. Boehner) out of office.
Do you know what you are doing? Close the government and I will
submit a sick leave or a vacation form.
He seems to be profiling to get more exposure. To run for higher office?
Spend money to make money goes the saying.
Maybe, just maybe, we don't need a government.
They do not know what they do.
Grow-up, all you politicians, don't be a crybaby.
Is that all you people do? Just squabble with each other?

Long This dress is VERY long. I am not sure the ideal height it was designed for, but it was even long on a person who is 5'8. July 3, 2014
Didn't look like the picture I ordered the dress online because that was the only available option. I ordered it in sterling/silver, when I received the dress the color was a very dull light grey and I was not happy with it at all. I also ordered a size up and the dress was extremely too long and it looked like an old woman's dress when I put it on. Unfortunately I was not able to see the sterling color online and the plum one shown looks very different from mine. June 13, 2014
Amazing Plus Size Gown I ordered this in grey and it is absolutely gorgeous. The fit is perfect and flattering, however, I am 5' 9" and this dress is long on me. But the material is high quality, it hugs my curves in all the right places, and it makes me feel like a princess. A steal at under $100. May 21, 2014
Cute The dress was cute but not what I was looking for. The bodice is much more lower cut than pictures. The length is extremely long which isn't really a problem if you can hem it but I thought I'd mention it. I'm 127 5'5" and usually wear a size 4 but ordered up as recommended. It fit better for the bust but what slightly loose at the natural waist. May 14, 2014

After driving through this park in our toad (towed vehicle), we decided to not stay here. This is a very shabby park with many many sites occupied by very rundown trailers and motorhome units that could only be described as junk. Whether these units are used as fishing camps for nearby waters wasn't clear but we did comment to ourselves that if we were ever "on the run" from law enforcement that this would be a place to hide out. The park is accessible by a long rough road (route 215), and the trees overhang and make it appears as though a big rig would have some difficulty moving around and under the trees. There were no sewer hookups visible anywhere, but we did see a "Honey Wagon" vehicle which we presume could be used for dumps. We would not recommend this park under any circumstance, and spent the night in a nearby Church parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't go here in a big rig. We paid our $29.41 Canadian and was sent to our site down a road marked on the park map. The road turned out to be a 7' wide 9' tall whole in the trees. Wife went back to get money back while I was backing out. Owner showed a somewhat better way in through cars trucks and kids from all the permanent sites. Wife was refunded money but we paid it back to stay the night. Site has 30amp elect and water. When we tried to use electric for A/C the voltage dropped to 97 volts so we could not use it, was also advised not to use the water so we used our fresh tank. Turned out the people here were very friendly and we enjoyed our stay. As the name states, it is a family park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

World Wetlands Day 2008 -- Marshall Islands
Ramsar Day Activities
These events took place during World Wetlands Day 2008 :
A. In Majuro:
1. A community public awareness and consultation meeting was held at Ajeltake Community for the purpose of establish a community coastal conservation area in said village. Representatives from EPA including our Conservatoin Officer, David Tibon, held the meeting with the people, giving a PowerPoint presentation on the expected benefits from said program, roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders, and EPA roles in assisting the community in public awareness. information exchange, and development of a management plan of the soon to established CA. There were over 120 people attending the consultation meeting and many of the community youths actively participated during the meeting serving refreshments and serenaded the crowd with songs. Next step would be for EPA and members of the community youths to conduct socio-economical and biological surveys of the proposed area.
2. All last month until World Wetlands Day, our weekly EPA radio program conducted interviews and dissemination of information related to Ramsar Convention in promoting wise use of the wetland resources.
B. Jaluit Atoll
1. School Presentations: The student members and their teachers of the Jaluit High School Health and Environment Club visited two elementary schools on Jaluit Atoll to give presentation on World Wetlands Day. The visits were so successful that all students and teachers (about 230) from these schools attended the presentations given by the high school students. Main issues discussed in the presentation include the following: Wetlands and coral reefs, Impact of Global Warming, ODS Depletion, and Solid Waste and Recycling.
2. Education Field Trip: Student members of the Health and Environment Club toured the Jaluit Mangrove Forest with Maity Bungitak, our Monitoring Officer, leading them through the forest and explaining about the wetlands ecosystems and the different terrestrial and marine species in the area.
3, The Science Teachers at the high school used their class periods to give lectures on WWD using the posters that EPA had forwarded. Also the teachers had invited all the high school students to submit drawings or written essays on two themes which were "healthy wetlands, healthy people, and "the important uses of wetlands". These essays will be sent to the EPA Office in Majuro for grading and winning awards will be issued to the best three students.

i worked out for an hour today guys, which is like my longest time ever. :) i actually feel a lot fitter as when i did my usual DVD i could do exercises that i couldn't do at all when i first started. so yeah, an hour might not seem that amazing but it's a start and i felt like i needed to try and make a dent in all the calories i've consumed today as i went round to my friends after school and we did NOT eat healthily at all. so foodwise today hasn't been great, but i'm hoping this workout sesh will give me a head start in terms of healthiness for tomorrow. anyway, tomorrow is a fresh day with no mistakes and i'm going to try my hardest to keep it blemish free.

Anonymous said: How did you lose that much in a week? :0
okay, well basically what i've been doing is a mixture of two fitness DVDs and downtownn's level 1 work out on days where i have exams and can't work out in the morning.
most mornings i eat something small before i work out, like a fruit or something and then i do either the 10 minute solution flat belly fast -i do about two workouts from this- with the mr.motivator pyramid workout or like three mr.motivator ones and one 10 minute solution. then i make my porridge (oatmeal) with one and a half cups of lactose free semi-skimmed milk and have that for breakfast. i'm not gonna lie there have been days where i've eaten food that isn't healthy or great for you but i've only had a little binge once in the past week. some days, during the day i'll do some random short excercise like jumping jacks or abdominal exercises. today after my exam i walked from my school to my friends' house which was 2.5 miles and we made some fruit salad which was delicious c:
i'm not saying i eat 100% healthy all the time but i am trying and i think it's paying off because my friend commented on how slim i looked today. so i'm just trying to keep it up really, but thank you for asking. you're going to motivate me to get up tomorrow and workout, thanks! :)

With beautiful countryside, several lakes and an abundance of peace and quiet to be savoured, a Killarney holiday is ideal for those who simply want to get away from a hectic pace of life. A Killarney holiday can be as relaxed or as busy as you want it to be as the town considers itself to be the "gateway to the Ring of Kerry" trail. A Killarney holiday rental cottage will not only offer all of the comforts of home but will leave you breathless with the spectacular views that can be seen from every window.
A Killarney holiday is filled with great activities that visitors can enjoy including swimming, fishing, surfing, sailing, tennis, golf, horse riding, paragliding, walking and cycling. Killarney also has some great attractions including a National Park, two beautiful lakes and Ross Castle. The castle is certainly not to be missed as it is steeped in history and legend. The castle was built in the 15th century by an Irish clan and was one of the last in County Kerry to fall to Oliver Cromwell during the Irish Confederate Wars of the 17th century.
If you can bear to leave the comforts of your wonderful Killarney holiday rental cottage then it is worth taking the half hour journey north to the town of Tralee. Tralee is home to the famous Rose of Tralee International Festival which is held in August each year. Other attractions worth visiting in the town include the Kerry County Museum, the Blennerville Windmill which is the tallest one of its kind in all of Europe and the beautiful Siamsa Tire, Ireland's national folk theatre.
If you are considering booking a wonderful Killarney holiday rental cottage then you can expect to experience warm summers and mild, wet winters. July and August tend to be the warmest months of the year to have a Killarney holiday as the daytime temperature can be as high as 18°C. The cooler months of December and January still offer up daytime temperatures of between 5° and 9°C. The annual rainfall amount for the town is 44 inches with the wettest months tending to be November and January.
Travellers on a Killarney holiday will likely arrive at Kerry International Airport (KIR) which is approximately 10 miles away from the town. Airlines that offer regular, affordable flights to the area include Ryanair and Aer Arann. Passengers can leave the UK from several UK airports such as Manchester (MAN), Stansted (STN) and London Luton (LTN).
