Steve Doocy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Brian Kilmeade
After 10 years as the lone conservative voice on ABC's The View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck heads to the curvy couch of Fox & Friends on Monday, Sept. 16 (6 a.m./5c, Fox News Channel). Ideologically, the 36-year-old cohost should be more at home with her new TV family of Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. But will we again see the fiery passion that made for must-watch moments on Barbara Walters' coffee klatch? We asked Hasselbeck as she prepared for her new morning gig.

Maricopa County Sheriff's office says a member of the Kiwanis Club brought what he thought was a grenade to a Rural Metro Fire station near Tom Darlington Drive and Cave Creek Road Saturday afternoon.
According to MCSO Spokesman Chris Hegstrom, the man got the item from a friend who moved to another state who wanted to donate a box of stuff to the Kiwanis Club. When the man found the grenade, he brought it to the fire station because he wasn't sure if it was live or inert.
MCSO examined the device and say it is safe, but there is some form of flash or black powder inside.
They're still working to see if the grenade is live or not.

Celebrate Sisterhood during National Women's History Month
Written on March 18, 2014 at 3:55 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
March marks National Women's History month, the perfect time to celebrate the strides we've made and get motivated to help women around the globe. Beauty companies are pitching in with products that empower women. Here, a few of our faves.
Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Mascara to benefit The Pretty Powerful Campaign for Women & Girls
Launched last year, the Pretty Powerful Campaign is a global initiative that celebrates the evolution of the brand's message from confidence through makeup and empowering women and girls through education. It aims to help women by supporting educational or job skills' training programs that provide them with the knowledge, skills and experience they need to overcome the inequities and disadvantages that far too many of them face every day. The Pretty Powerful Mascara ($25, bobbibroncosmetics.com) is an all-in-one formula that lengthens, thickens and defines without clumps or smearing throughout the day. It is available now and all proceeds in the U.S. benefit the Girl Rising Fund, a 501c3 fund operated by Tides Foundation, which drives resources to effective girl-empowerment programs in the developing world. If you'd like to find out more, check out the trailer to the inspiring documentary Girl Rising below:
Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Healthy Glow For Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette to benefit the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund
Claudia Poccia, President and CEO of Gurwitch Products, the manufacturer and distributor of Laura Mercier cosmetics, and Laura Mercier, founder of the Laura Mercier cosmetics brand established the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund in September 2012. Both Poccia and Mercier have loved ones who were affected by ovarian cancer, which is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among American women according to the American Cancer Society. The mission is to raise awareness, fund research and educational efforts that will help diagnose, treat and support women with ovarian cancer to prevent more women from dying from the disease. The Bonne Mine Palette ($48, lauramercier.com) is a must-have for any makeup bag. Featuring a cream bronzer, two cream blushes and two highlighters, it's the perfect product to create that "no makeup" glow that looks soft and natural. 100% of the profits from sales are donated to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.
Yes To Carrots Yes to Movement Project to benefit You!
The Yes to Carrots brand is making March all about you! In honor of National Women's History month, they've launched the Yes to Movement, a year-long project aimed at encouraging everyone to spread the power of positivity by saying "yes" to something for yourself, your loved ones or for your community. Their goal is to get fans to share one million Yes Moments with the hashtags #YESTOMOVEMENT and #YESWOMEN. Simply snap a selfie on Twitter or Instagram to inspire, empower and get each other to say "yes" more by saying "yes" to yourself first. They'll choose one lucky lady and help her overcome her fear of saying "yes." She'll receive the resources (and all our support) to empower her to face it head on.
Let's hear it for the girls!

A Healthy Snack that Gives Back
Written on December 11, 2012 at 2:28 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Makeup artist Bobbi Brown (one of my inspirations!) recently teamed up with KIND Healthy Snacks to create the company's first Snack & Give Back campaign to help you look and feel beautiful from the inside out this holiday season. How it works: you can purchase Bobbi Brown's limited edition Eat Pretty Powerful Cube featuring her four favorite KIND bars: Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt, Cashew & Ginger Spice, Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan and Madagascar Vanilla Almond (they make the perfect snacks and gifts!). A portion of the cube's proceeds goes toward the Broome Street Academy—a public charter high school that prepares New York City's most vulnerable young people to graduate with Regents diplomas—a school close to Brown's heart and one she chose for this program. KIND will also make a $10,000 donation to the academy to help fund a new KIND Kitchen.
KIND is also offering snack cubes curated by Arianna Huffington from the Huffington Post to support the Committee to Protect Journalists and Grace Potter from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals to support the Alzheimer's Association. The limited edition cubes are available for $42.95 on www.kindsnacks.com.

Staffer Beauty Snoop: Fashion Intern Cindy Park
Written on November 17, 2011 at 2:42 pm , by Fitness Magazine
In this week's Staffer Beauty Snoop, super-chic Fashion Intern Cindy Park shares the products and tips that keep her looking polished on the go:
Describe your beauty style in three words or less: Consistent and simple
What are the three beauty products you cant live without?:Neutrogena Make-up Removing Wipes, C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve and the Clarisonic Mia.
What's your beauty routine in the morning?: I use my Clarisonic to cleanse, then sweep on Origins Purifying Tonic, apply Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer and top it off with an Aveeno sunscreen.
Post-workout?: I wipe off sweat and grime with Shiseido Pureness Refreshing Cleansing Wipes.
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good?: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask: When the mask dries up and I peel it off, I feel like I'm taking off a layer of dull skin and am left with a cleaner, fresher face. I also love Bobbi Brown Creamy Lipcolor in Pale Plum. It gives me the perfect pop of color when I want to look more awake.
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received? Wear sunscreen every single day. You won't regret it!

Staffer Beauty Snoop: Nutrition Editor Juno DeMelo
Written on October 27, 2011 at 10:05 am , by Fitness Magazine
We're thrilled to welcome a new addition to the FITNESS staff: Nutrition Editor Juno DeMelo. We got to know her a little better by asking her to spill her no-fail beauty favorites and secrets:
Describe your beauty style in three words or less: Tried-and-true!
What are the three beauty products you can't live without? Bobbi Brown Concealer, Philosophy Tinted Moisturizer, and dry shampoo.
What's your beauty routine in the morning? I wash my face, slap on some moisturizer (literally, I slap my cheeks; I could swear I read somewhere that it helps your skin absorb product!), cover up any spots with concealer, line my upper lash line, put on a coat of mascara and dab cream blush onto my cheeks. Oh, and I run the flat iron through my hair every single morning. I spritz it with heat-protectant spray first, and so far, no split ends!
At night? I use Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, (Editor's note: A mutual favorite—we love its thick, balm-like cream texture and refreshing eucalyptus-ish smell) wait an hour, then put on Retin-A. It's the one pricey skin cream I splurge on.
Post-workout? I hate schlepping my makeup bag to the gym, so I usually just head home afterward and take a hot shower.
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good? A pedicure. Even though my mom was a manicurist when I was a kid—and I have two shelves worth of polish at home!—I can never get it to look as good as it does when the pros do it.
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received (or thought of yourself)? Don't dye your hair. Until I go gray, I'd rather spend my money on healthy-hair products than highlights. Brown is beautiful!

Bright On!
Written on March 30, 2011 at 11:27 am , by Fitness Magazine
FAIR: You can pull off a bright pink, such as cult classic NARS Semi-Matte Lipstick in Schiap.
MEDIUM/OLIVE: Go for a juicy tangerine or coral hue like Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in (13) Le Orange.
DARK: Choose a brown-based brick red such as Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Burnt Red.
Most important of all: Find a hue you truly love, and you'll have the confidence to rock it. And remember to turn down the volume on the rest of your face (read: keep your eye and face makeup neutral), since you want your lips to be the star. What's your favorite bold lip look?

Beauty Rules
Written on December 14, 2010 at 7:26 am , by Fitness Magazine
Bobbi Brown's new book Beauty Rules is packed with tips on makeup (of course), skincare and self-esteem. She also interviews models, salon professionals and female athletes—including Morgan Pressel, the youngest-ever winner of a major LPGA golf tournament—to cull their top beauty tips. Here, a few of my favorite pearls of beauty wisdom from the book:
- Healthy is beautiful. Anything that's good for your body is good for your hair, Bobbi maintains.
- Wear layers. Layer gloss on top of lipstick for a really rich pout.
- Lighten up. Always wear concealer when you use black eyeliner. Otherwise, you'll wind up looking tired.
- Skip a wash. There's no need to wash your hair everyday, unless of course you work in a coal mine (or are prone to super-greasy roots). Bobbi suggests cleansing strands no more than every other day: Try out a dry shampoo on the days in between!

The Ends of the Earth: From Togo to Turkmenistan, from Iran to Cambodia--A Journey to the Frontiers of Anarchyby Robert D. Kaplan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Author of Balkan Ghosts, Robert D. Kaplan now travels from West Africa to Southeast Asia to report on a world of disintegrating nation-states, warring nationalities, metastasizing populations, and dwindling resources. He emerges with a gritty tour de force of travel writing and political journalism. Whether he is walking through a shantytown in the Ivory Coast or a death camp in Cambodia, talking with refugees, border guards, or Iranian revolutionaries, Kaplan travels under the most arduous conditions and purveys the most startling truths. Intimate and intrepid, erudite and visceral, The Ends of the Earth is an unflinching look at the places and peoples that will make tomorrow's headlines--and the history of the next millennium.
"Kaplan is an American master of...travel writing from hell...Pertinent and compelling."--New York Times Book Review
"An impressive work. Most travel books seem trivial beside it."--Washington Post Book World

Those of us in favor of universal access to care argue that health care is not a commodity. Those who can't afford health care are priced out of it, and health care is no longer a public good, like public education and clean water.
Read Whole Story
By and large, doctors and nurses are well-meaning, and most of the time, the system is working well and you will get good care. However, mistakes do happen. Follow the tips above to make sure that you are safe and well during every hospital stay.
To effectively engage patients and caregivers, it is critical that health care providers engage with empathy. With empathy we connect, we understand, we listen, and we communicate. We can engage and empower our patients to be proactive and in charge of their health.
Effectively engaging vulnerable patient populations in their care is attainable and vital, and will improve health outcomes and contain costs.
Many doctors, particularly young doctors, come to view test results as if handed down direct from the heavens -- and forget that context greatly alters their implications. It shouldn't be your burden to defend against this -- but alas, it is.
Verify you are getting the tests you need, and only the tests you need. Challenging such decisions is not an insult to your doctor. Simply, it is an affirmation of the fact that you, literally, have skin in the game.
Never has real prevention been more necessary -- or possible.
Many people don't get the kind of care that they would choose for the end of life. This happens because most doctors fail to raise the subject until patients are gravely ill.
We've all but lost the idea of reforming health care in our efforts to reform health insurance. But wise policymakers know that the best way to get results is to give people tools to practice prevention and wellness.
In a specialist-driven system that aims to eradicate disease, sometimes we overlook the simpler need to alleviate patients' discomfort and distress.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a serious medical condition that can easily be overlooked because it mimics so many other disorders.
Sergey Brin's disclosure last week that he carries a genetic mutation increasing his risk for Parkinson's managed to put the genetics-driven revolution in health care back into the headlines.

I don't know you. The only thing I know about you is, you're reading this. I don't know whether you're happy or not; I don't know whether you're young or not. I sort of hope you're young and sad. If you're old and happy, I can imagine that you'll maybe smile to yourself when you hear me going, he broke my heart. You'll remember someone who broke your heart, and you'll think to yourself, Oh, yes, I can remember how that feels. But you can't, you smug old git. Oh, you might remember feeling sort of pleasantly sad. You might remember listening to music and eating chocolates in your room, or walking along the Embankment on your own, wrapped up in a winter coat and feeling lonely and brave. But can you remember how with every mouthful of food it felt like you were biting into your own stomach? Can you remember the taste of red wine as it came back up and into the toilet bowl? Can you remember dreaming every night that you were still together, that he was talking to you gently and touching you, so that every morning when you wake up you had to go through it all over again? Can you remember carving his initials in your arm with a kitchen knife? Can you remember standing too close to the edge of an Underground platform? No? Well, fucking shut up, then. Stick your smile up your saggy old arse.
Jess (A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby)
I may not like Jess that much. I think she's just annoying, obnoxious even. But here's one of her few moments in the book where she made sense. A long ass one but really the point is, no one will ever fully understand how someone felt or what someone had gone through because every experience is unique. Just saying.(via thebrighteyedwanderer)

Section A - General Information
1. Legislation
The Seeds Act and Regulations is the federal legislation governing the testing, inspection, quality and sale of seeds in Canada.
Section 3(1)(b) of the Seeds Act states that:
"no person shall sell or advertise for sale in Canada or import into Canada seed of a variety that is not registered in the prescribed manner."
This document clarifies and explains the legislation specified in Part III of the Seeds Regulations (sections 63 to 77) concerning the application process and the variety registration system. Companion documents include the Variety Registration Application Form, and the appropriate objective description form available for most crop kinds.
Copies of the Seeds Act and Regulations and accompanying Schedules, Procedures, etc. are available on the CFIA web site at: www.inspection.gc.ca./english/plaveg/seesem/seeseme.shtml
2. False or Misleading Statements
It is an offence under the Seeds Act to make a false or misleading statement either verbally or in writing to an official engaged in carrying out his/her duties under this Act. In addition, such statements could result in the refusal or suspension of a registration.
3. Registration
The Seeds Regulations now partitions the list of crop types requiring registration of varieties (Schedule III) into three parts with differing requirements for each part:
- Part I will continue to require pre-registration testing and merit assessment (see Glossary Section B.7 for a definition of merit), as well as the basic requirements for applications for variety registration,
- Part II will require pre-registration testing as well as the basic requirements for applications for variety registration,
- Part III will require basic registration requirements only.
Unless otherwise specified in the certificate of registration, the registration is valid for all provinces and territories of Canada, until such time as the registration is cancelled or suspended, and without any restrictions on the production of seed or commodity.
Regional tests normally provide the basis for national registration. A variety is to be entered into official tests in the area(s) of anticipated adaptation. If it is supported by a recommending committee (see Section A.9) and granted a registration, it may be imported or sold in all of Canada, except where regional restrictions apply.
4. Restricted Registrations
4.1 Interim Registration
An interim registration is normally granted for either of two reasons:
- production of grain or other commodity for market acceptability tests; or
- emergency/crisis reasons (e.g. disease).
4.2 Regional Registration
4.3 Contract Registration
5. Eligibility Requirements for Registration
Varieties are only eligible for variety registration if:
- the variety or its progeny is not detrimental to human or animal health and safety or the environment when grown and used as intended;
- the representative reference sample of the variety does not contain off-types or impurities in excess of the Association's standards for varietal purity;
- the variety meets the standards for varietal purity established by the Association or these Regulations for a variety of that species, kind or type;
- the variety is distinguishable from all other varieties that were or currently are registered in Canada;
- the variety name is not a registered trademark in respect of the variety;
- the variety name is not likely to mislead a purchaser with respect to the composition, genetic origin or utility of the variety;
- the variety name is not likely to be confused with the name of a variety that was or currently is registered;
- the variety name is not likely to offend the public;
- no false statement or falsified document and no misleading or incorrect information has been submitted in support of the application for registration; and
- the information provided to the Registrar is sufficient to enable the variety to be evaluated. its name could deceive or mislead the purchaser with respect to the composition, genetic origin or utility of the variety.
Where a variety is not eligible for registration, the Registrar will send the applicant a notice by registered mail, stating that the registration has been refused and the reasons for the refusal.
6. Suspension and Cancellation (Deregistration) of Registration
The registration of a variety may be suspended or cancelled if requested by the registrant. Prior to requesting the cancellation of a registration, the registrant is required to check the variety's pedigreed seed availability, and/or develop a disposal plan acceptable to seed growers in possession of pedigreed seed of the variety. The Variety Registration Office will publish a list of varieties whose registrations are proposed for cancellation. If our office is notified in writing that pedigreed seed of a specific variety is still available, and there is still commercial interest in the variety, the cancellation of registration will be deferred pending resolution among the interested parties.
Where the registration of a variety has been suspended or cancelled, the Registrar will send the registrant a notice by registered mail stating that the registration has been suspended or cancelled and the reason(s) for the action.
6.1 Suspension
The Registrar will suspend the registration of a variety for up to two years where:
- the variety has an adverse effect on Canadian agriculture and the food system due to disease susceptibility or inferior quality;
- seed of the variety has demonstrated significant levels of contamination such that the varietal purity of the variety has been jeopardized;
- the variety has been altered in such a manner that it differs from the representative legal reference sample;
- the variety or its progeny may be detrimental to human or animal health and safety, or the environment;
- false or misleading information was submitted as part of the application; or
- the variety name was trademarked after registration.
6.2 Cancellation/Deregistration
The Registrar will cancel the registration of a variety where the variety:
- has been altered in such a manner as to convert it to a variety that is registered under a different name;
- has been found to be indistinguishable from another variety already registered or known to exist;
- is of a crop kind or species no longer subject to the variety registration requirements; or
- upon the request of the registrant, with the written permission of the breeder of the variety (see Section B.5.14).
The Registrar may also cancel the registration of any variety whose registration has been suspended for two years and where the reasons for the suspension are still valid.
7. Reinstatement of Registration
The Registrar may, upon written request and the submission of appropriate fees, reinstate the registration of a variety. However, there must be just cause for any reinstatement. In the case of reinstatement of permanent registrations cancelled at the request of the registrant, where a considerable period of time has elapsed since the cancellation, the Variety Registration Office may require the involvement of a recommending committee(s) to determine if the variety in question still has merit. In the case of reinstatement of interim registrations, a recommendation for registration from a recognized committee must accompany the request.
Where more than one year has elapsed since the cancellation, a new legal reference sample and an application form will be required to be submitted.
8. Review of Registration Decisions
8.1 Process
Where the Registrar refuses to register a variety, or grants the variety a registration that is restricted regionally or in duration, or where the registration restricts the manner in which seed or commodity crop is produced (contract registration), the applicant may request that the Registrar review the decision. Similar procedures may be used for the review of the suspension or cancellation of registration.
If there is a valid objection to a registration decision, the Registrar may consult with an expert or group of experts knowledgeable in the area of concern who have no interest in the outcome of the review.
The selected expert(s) will recommend a course of action to the Registrar. The recommendations are not binding on the Registrar.
8.2 Procedures for Application for Appeal of a Registration Decision
9. Recommending Committees
All committees that recommend varieties for registration must be officially recognized by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food for this purpose. Appendix XI lists the currently recognized committees. The names and addresses of the contact persons for each recommending committee is available on the CFIA website at: www.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/variet/vartoce.shtml.
The roles and responsibilities of recommending committees to make recommendations for crop kinds in Parts I and II are now clearly defined in the Seeds Regulations.
The recommending committees are responsible for:
For crop kinds listed in Part I:
- Ensuring members of the committee have the knowledge and expertise required to establish and administer testing protocols and determine the merit for varieties of that species, kind or type of crop;
- Formulating testing procedures that are appropriate for their crop(s);
- Making recommendations to the CFIA respecting the merit of the variety;
- Regularly reviewing the testing procedures to ensure that they reflect acceptable scientific practices;
- Ensuring that reference varieties are current and fairly represent the requirements of Canadian agriculture; and
- Establishing operating procedures to ensure that its functioning is transparent and that varieties are dealt with in a fair and consistent manner.
For crop kinds listed in Part II:
- Ensuring members of the committee have the knowledge and expertise required to establish and administer testing protocols for varieties of that species, kind or type of crop;
- Formulating testing procedures that are appropriate for their crop(s);
- Making recommendations to the CFIA respecting whether the variety has been tested according to established testing procedures;
- Regularly reviewing the testing procedures to ensure that they reflect acceptable scientific practices;
- Ensuring that reference varieties are current and fairly represent the requirements of Canadian agriculture; and
- Establishing operating procedures to ensure that its functioning is transparent and that varieties are dealt with in a fair and consistent manner.
10. Descriptions of Varieties
As of April 1, 1994, the Variety Registration Office ceased publishing descriptions of registered varieties. Requests for information on specific varieties are referred to the Canadian representative/distributor or breeder.
Detailed information describing the variety is still required as part of the application for crop inspection and variety verification purposes.
11. Confidential Business Information (CBI)
Although pedigree information is required as part of the registration review process, it is not released for hybrid crops as it is considered confidential business information (CBI). Other legitimate forms of CBI may be withheld upon written request of the registrant, and consent of the Registrar. The dissemination of potential CBI is subject to the Access to Information legislation. The withholding of information from dissemination (other than pedigrees of hybrid crops) will require review by Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) officials. The registrant may be required to show just cause under ATIP legislation as to how dissemination would breach confidentiality.
Information on variants/off-types, variety name synonyms, or changes in variety name are considered to be public information and will not be considered CBI.
12. Advertising a Variety Prior to Registration or while under Suspension
Prior to Registration: A company may advertise a variety prior to registration provided all of the following conditions are met:
- the variety has been supported for registration by a recognized recommending committee (not applicable to varieties of crop kinds in Part III);
- an application for registration with the appropriate fee has been received by the Variety Registration Office; and
- the variety advertisement clearly states "registration pending".
Sales may not occur until registration is granted.
Section B - Application Procedures
1. General
2. How to Apply
Applications for the registration of varieties should be submitted on the Variety Registration Application Form available from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's web site at: www.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/variet/proced/procede.shtml or from the Variety Registration Office. The most recent version of the application form includes a Fee Submission form which should accompany fees. If the applicant chooses to not use the most recent form, the applicant must submit a clear indication of fee submission with the application. These, along with other required supporting documentation and legal reference samples, must be sent to:
Variety Registration Office
Field Crops Division
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
59 Camelot Drive
Ottawa, Ontario
Tel: 1-800-442-2342
Tel: 613-773-7146
Fax:: 613-773-7144
E-mail: email@example.com
In the event two applications are received by the Variety Registration Office that, based on all available information, appear to be identical varieties, preference will be given to registering the variety with the first complete application, and having an acceptable legal reference seed sample submitted (see also Section B. 5.1).
Where the two applications are submitted by the same applicant, the applicant will be given the option to select one variety for registration. The registration of the second variety will be held pending resolution of the varietal distinguishability issue.
In the event that two applications are received for two different varieties of the same crop kind with the identical or very similar proposed variety name, preference will be given to the variety with the first complete application (including fees and legal reference sample).
In order to facilitate the evaluation process, applications should be submitted as far as possible in advance of the desired period of sale or importation for sale. The time required to process complete and accurate applications varies depending on the extent of review required, how complete the applications are and the number of applications pending at any one time. Please allow two weeks for the completion of the preliminary review, when a check is done on the acceptability of the legal reference seed sample and required documentation. (A more rapid response may be possible if a facsimile number and/or email address is provided). Allow up to an additional four weeks for the detailed review of applications. (Crop kinds included in Part III may have reduced review time.) After receipt of all required information, a registration decision can normally be made and registration documentation completed within two weeks.
For plants with novel traits, an assessment of the food, feed and environmental safety of the variety by the Food Directorate of Health Canada and the Feed Section and the Plant Biosafety Office (PBO) of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency may be required. Also, additional reviews by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) may be required to substantiate claims made with respect to pesticidal tolerances or properties. Such reviews may require up to 120 days. Please see Appendix VII for more details.
3. Incomplete Applications
If an application for registration is incomplete with respect to the submission of fees, the application will not be returned. However, the application will not be considered accepted until fees are submitted and no review will be initiated. If the application is not considered to be received due to lack of fee submission, no advertising of the variety may be undertaken. The order of the review of applications will take into account the day the fees are submitted.
If an application for registration is incomplete with respect to other requirements such as a description of variety, recommendation for registration from a recommending committee, acceptable legal reference sample or photographic slides/ digital images, the application for registration will be retained pending this information.
4. Recognized Applicants
Applications for registration shall be made by a permanent resident of Canada to whom any notice or correspondence under the Seeds Act and Regulations may be sent. This may be a Canadian representative, or in the case of varieties developed in Canada, by the breeder.
Upon registration, the applicant automatically becomes the registrant, unless otherwise specified in the application. For restricted registrations, the registrant must ensure that the terms and conditions of the restrictions are met. As such, the registrant need not be the breeder or owner of the variety.
5. Required Information
Basic Registration Requirements FOR ALL APPLICATIONS for Variety Registration: (i.e. for crop kinds in Parts I, II and III of Schedule III)
A complete application package, which must be supplied and signed by the applicant, contains the following information:
- a proposed variety name (see Section B. 5.2). As of January 1, 1996, a Canadian trademark search is not required to be submitted as part of the application for registration. Applicants are required to sign a declaration that they have not applied for or trademarked the name, or any part of the name, of that variety. The declaration is found in the Variety Registration Application Form (page 1). However, the Trademarks Office of Industry Canada strongly suggests that applicants have a trademark search conducted in order to identify potential trademark infringements.
- the scientific and/or common names of the species.
- a complete description of pedigree, origin, history and methods of development of the variety including the experimental test number(s) and the name and location of the breeding organization (see Section B.5.3). The breeding organizations are those parties involved in parental selection, crossing, progeny selection, etc. and may be different from the owner of the variety. If the breeding organization is different from the owner, please provide the name and location of both the owner and breeder.
- a detailed description of the variety respecting morphological, pathologic, agronomic, physiologic, and biochemical characteristics (where applicable). For triticale and wheat varieties, an eligibility statement developed by the Canadian Grain Commission must be submitted in order for the Variety Registration Office to accurately determine the geographic scope/appropriate restriction for variety registration (see Section B.5.4).
- a statement as to whether the variety is sold in other countries and if so, by what name(s).
- particulars of the provisions for the maintenance of seed stocks. Authorization is required from the breeder of a foreign variety for the Canadian representative to maintain breeder seed in Canada. If there is intent to maintain breeder seed in Canada, this must be done under the supervision of a plant breeder recognized by the CSGA.
- the name and address of the Canadian representative and/or distributor as well as the names and addresses of the breeder and owner, if different from the Canadian representative. Telephone and facsimile numbers facilitate rapid communication, as do electronic mail addresses. Unless otherwise indicated by the applicant, all correspondence with respect to the registration or cancellation of a variety will be addressed to the Canadian representative listed on the application form.
- where the applicant is a person, company or organization other than the breeder or owner of the variety, the application must be accompanied by a signed statement from the breeder or owner of the variety indicating that the applicant has been authorized to apply for registration in Canada. If, at any time, there is a change in the Canadian representative of a variety, it is the responsibility of the breeder or owner to inform the Variety Registration Office of the change.
- for all species except potatoes, a representative legal reference sample of seed (see Appendix II) must be submitted. In the case of hybrid/composite canola, hybrid alfalfa and hybrid tobacco variety, a sample of each parental line is also required. Unacceptable samples may only be returned upon submission of an acceptable legal reference sample or upon withdrawal of the application. Unacceptable samples however, are typically returned after registration of the variety
- for hybrid/composite canola, hybrid alfalfa and hybrid tobacco varieties, descriptions of each inbred parental line and a reproducible hybridity test methodology (see Appendix IV) are required for the purposes of variety verification and seed certification (see Appendix III).
- for potato varieties, a set of photographic slides
or digital images detailing plant morphology, the results of total
glycoalkaloid (TGA) testing and a description of the TGA test methodology employed are
required (see Appendix V).
It is also recommended that the application package include molecular data identifying the variety and two potato leaf triplet samples.
- the applicant will be asked if the variety is to be added to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) List of Cultivars Eligible for Certification. This information is not required for variety registration, nor is there any obligation to add a variety to the list. In most cases, CFIA will not add to the list varieties for which breeder seed is maintained outside of Canada. These varieties should be added by the National Designated Authority of the country in which breeder seed is maintained. Exceptions may be made for varieties from countries not participating in the OECD Seed Schemes. For addition of hybrid canola and sunflower varieties, the applicant must supply a statement confirming that the variety consistently meets the OECD minimum hybridity standard of 90%. Applicants should note that only seed lots of the variety that actually meet the standard can be certified under the OECD Seed Schemes. Transgenic varieties may be added to the list, but must meet the regulatory requirements of each importing country. Varieties with interim registrations are eligible for addition to the OECD List of Cultivars. Note that "composite" canola and potato varieties will not be added to the OECD list of cultivars.
- the appropriate fees must be submitted along with a "Fee Submission Form" (last page of the application form). Review of an application package will not be initiated until appropriate fees have been received.
- the Registrar may require that the applicant supply further information that will allow the determination of the merit and identity of the variety (see Section B. 5.1).
Additional Requirements for Crop Kinds in Part I:
- results of valid experimental trials comparing the agronomic and/or quality characteristics of the variety to the performance of the appropriate reference varieties designated by the recommending committees (see Section B.5.5).
- a recommendation that is not more than two years old or, in the case of a forage variety, not more than four years old, from a recommending committee stating whether the variety has been tested according to recommending committee protocols and whether the variety has merit. Where support for registration is conditional upon submission of additional information, please ensure that the latter information is supplied.
Additional Requirements for Crop Kinds in Part II:
- results of valid experimental trials comparing the agronomic and/or quality characteristics of the variety to the performance of the appropriate reference varieties designated by the recommending committees (see Section B.5.5).
- a recommendation that is not more than two years old or, in the case of a forage variety, not more than four years old, from a recommending committee stating whether the variety has been tested according to recommending committee protocols. Where support for registration is conditional upon submission of additional information, please ensure that the latter information is supplied.
5.1 Definition of a Variety
A variety is considered to be a cultivar, and denotes an assemblage of cultivated plants, including hybrids constituted by controlled cross-pollination, that:
- are distinguished by common morphological, physiological, cytological, chemical or other characteristics; and
- retain their distinguishing characteristics when reproduced.
Where a variety has a similar genetic background to a previously registered variety, it may be eligible for registration provided it has merit and is distinguishable from the previously registered variety. The Registrar must be assured that he/she is not registering a previously registered variety under another name. There is also an obligation on the part of the Variety Registration Office to ensure that the registration of a variety will not compromise the varietal identity principles upon which seed and crop certification is based. The onus is on the applicant to show distinguishability for non-hybrid crops and for hybrid crops where the two varieties in question are developed by the same breeding organization. In determining the distinguishability of two varieties, the applicant should consider the magnitude and consistency of the differences as well as the heritability of the traits involved.
Currently, varieties will not be registered if distinguished solely on DNA analysis.
5.2 Variety Name Guidelines
If a synonym is used the following conditions would apply:
- only one name will be used for the variety in Canada;
- the owner of the variety agrees to the use of the synonym;
- all known names and synonyms must be indicated on the application form;
- all synonyms will be made publicly available by CFIA; and
- it is understood that the use of a synonym in Canada may make the variety name unacceptable for Plant Breeders' Rights in Canada.
Variety names shall be unique, i.e. not the same as, or very similar to the name of other varieties of the same genus. If they fall within one of the following International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) classes, they must be different from all the genera or species in the Class.
Class 201: Secale, Triticale,
Class 203: Agrostis, Dactylis, Festuca, Festulolium, Lolium, Phalaris, Phleum and Poa
Class 204: Lotus, Medicago, Ornithopus, Onobrychis, Trifolium
For all crop genera/species subject to registration and not listed in the above classes, each species is considered to be an individual class.
A variety name is a generic term and neither the name nor any part of the name shall be trademarked in Canada for use on seed of the variety.
Once a variety is registered, trademarking the variety name will result in the suspension or cancellation of registration.
Variety names which vary from another variety by the addition of number(s), letter(s), word(s) or symbol(s), are acceptable providing their pedigree indicates direct descendence from the variety to which the suffix or prefix is added.
The proportion of germplasm contributed by another variety should be at least 50% when giving the new variety a name very similar to that of another variety.
5.3 Description of Pedigree/Breeding
The genetic background of at least the two previous generations should be provided. Where the parentage of a variety includes experimental lines, please give the genetic background of these lines. This information is valuable in distinguishing variants and off-types found in seed fields subsequent to variety registration as well as determining the uniqueness of the variety. The pedigree of PNT varieties should trace back to the approved event.
The use of common pedigree notation is encouraged. (See Appendix XII: Guide to commonly used pedigree nomenclature systems.)
Varieties will only be considered for registration if:
- developed or maintained by a plant breeder recognized by the Canadian Seed Growers' Association, or
- seed of the variety has been accepted for certification in the country of origin by an official certifying agency.
If the applicant has previously supplied this information as part of an application for environmental release through the Plant Biosafety Office, this information will be accessed directly and supplied to Variety Verification unit staff at the time of registration.
If the applicant is using constructs for which another organization has been granted environmental release, the applicant must submit a letter of permission from this organization to allow access to the DNA sequence information (Confidential Business Information).
5.4 Varietal Characteristics
Disease reaction information should include resistance and susceptibility to the diseases that are economically important to the specific crop in Canada. Disease information should be supplied directly by the recommending committee where possible. Data should be submitted to substantiate all claims of insect or disease resistance.
As of July 1, 1990, alfalfa varieties must be resistant to bacterial wilt (Corynebacterium insidiosum) in order to qualify for registration.
In order to receive registration in eastern Canada, a wheat variety must have a minimum level of resistance to fusarium head blight (see Appendix IX). Provincial guidelines within eastern Canada vary as to the exact requirements.
Photocopies of objective description forms completed for the variety for Plant Breeders' Rights purposes may be submitted if:
- it is clearly marked on the photocopy that the submission is for Variety Registration Office use, and
- information has been provided for the traits required for variety registration purposes.
The submission of information for "non-mandatory" traits is useful to the variety registration office in determining rapidly if the variety can be distinguished from a previously registered variety or if a subsequent candidate variety is distinguishable.
The breeder may require additional certification standards for a variety provided that the additional standards are defined in the variety description and the following CSGA requirements are met:
- the additional certification standards have been communicated by the responsible Plant Breeder or agent to all parties involved with regulation and production of the variety; and
- when required to verify varietal identity, the CSGA has been authorized by the responsible Plant Breeder or agent to require varietal purity verification testing before a Crop Certificate is issued by the CSGA.
Examples of additional certification standards include previous land use or isolation distance requirements that exceed the standards in Circular 6, border row removals or requirements for laboratory tests for varietal identity verification.
5.5 Experimental Data
5.6 Signed and Dated Declaration for Plants with Novel Traits (PNTs) and for Varieties derived from PNTs
For plants with novel traits developed by genetic engineering or by traditional plant breeding using transgenic parents, the applicant must:
- submit a signed, dated declaration on the letterhead of the applicant organization with the variety registration application (one declaration per variety), indicating that molecular tests conducted on seed of the variety entered in variety registration trials and also the seed contained in the legal reference sample confirm the specific genetic makeup of the variety (i.e. that they contain the appropriate construct and insertion or mutation event and only that event); and
- provide the detailed CFIA reviewed and approved* laboratory detection protocols used to conduct these trait detection tests. If the protocols have been previously submitted to the CFIA-Variety Registration Office (VRO), it is acceptable to indicate that the samples were analysed using the specific approved protocol. The protocol reference number (including version number) must be cited in the declaration.
In the case of potatoes, the declaration should indicate that tests were conducted on seed potatoes entering the variety registration trials and the seed certification system.
* Applicants are encouraged to submit new PNT detection protocols (see Appendix VI) well in advance of variety application, to allow time for CFIA review and approval prior to a variety registration application. Any revisions to an approved protocol should be sent in to the CFIA-VRO for review and approval as soon as possible to avoid delays in a variety registration application.
Note: The signed declaration statement requirement is effective February 6, 2012. This is a replacement of the previous-notarized affidavit requirement. Applicants are advised to use the same format as used on the previous notarized affidavit (please contact the variety registration office for clarification if required).
5.7 Support for Registration
Recommending committee recommendations for varieties of crop kinds in Part I are based on pre-registration testing and determination of merit.
Recommending committee recommendations for varieties of crop kinds in Part II are based on pre-registration testing only.
To speed the processing of all registration applications, a copy of a letter or motion of support from the registration recommending committee must be submitted directly by the applicant. The recommendation may not be more than two years old, or in the case of a forage variety, not more than four years old.
Please note that no recommendation support is required for varieties of crop kinds in Part III.
5.8 Fees
As of December 1, 1997, fees came into effect for the evaluation of variety registration applications, and related services. Please ensure that a separate Fee Submission Form is included in each application package along with the appropriate fee (see Appendix XIII). Once an application review has been initiated, no refund will be issued.
5.9 Legal Reference Samples
Requirements for Breeder seed sample (see Checklist in Appendix II).
Sample bags must bear an outer tag.
It is recommended that a CSGA breeder seed tag is used. These tags can be obtained from the CSGA at no cost. For breeders using tags other than those provided by the CSGA, the following information must be included on the tag:
- variety name (experimental number is acceptable if the name is not finalized);
- crop kind;
- lot number (if applicable);
- crop certificate number;
- pedigreed status; and
- signature of the CSGA recognized plant breeder.
Although the CSGA breeder tag indicates it may be signed by a Canadian agent, this is not acceptable for variety registration purposes.
Foreign produced samples
The sample must bear a tag that states the year of production and:
- is from an official seed certification agency; or
- that contains the equivalent information required for a CSGA breeder seed tag (see above) including the signature of the plant breeder who developed the variety.
Where samples are submitted with tags from a European seed certification agency, information must be provided on:
- the generation of the seed expressed as the number of generations prior to certified seed; and
- the number of generations from breeder seed that are allowed in total.
Failure to provide all of the above information will result in a sample being rejected.
Where breeder seed is not available, select or foundation seed may be acceptable provided that it is:
- tagged with an official tag issued by a seed certification agency; and
- accompanied by a letter from the breeder explaining why breeder seed is not provided.
Requirements for hybrid or composite seed samples.
Seed samples of all hybrid or "composite" varieties of Brassica spp, hybrid alfalfa, hybrid tobacco or hybrid sunflower varieties shall be of the first generation of pedigreed seed to be offered for sale. (i.e. Certified seed.) Samples must be tagged with tags issued by an official seed certification authority.
If such seed is not available, hand-pollinated seed or seed produced in isolation cages under the breeder's supervision may be submitted as a legal reference sample provided the following conditions are met:
- the seed is produced under the direct supervision of a plant breeder recognized by the CSGA;
- the sample is accompanied by a declaration signed by the breeder indicating the manner in which the seed was produced and indicating that the seed is representative of the variety;
- the seed is properly sealed and tagged with the variety name/experimental number, lot number and signature of the plant breeder; and
- the breeder commits in writing to provide a certified seed sample within one year of registration.
Seed produced by hand pollination or in isolation cages is not eligible for sale by variety name.
Inbred or composite parental line samples.
For varieties of hybrid or composite canola, hybrid alfalfa and hybrid tobacco, the inbred or composite parental lines must be submitted in a seed envelope which has been well taped shut and labelled with the following information:
- variety name;
- lot number;
- crop certificate number (where applicable);
- name of parental line; and
- indication of whether it is the female or male parent of the variety.
Samples and tags must either be sewn or tied and fastened with a tamper-proof seal. When samples are submitted in seed envelopes, they should be well taped shut and the tag well taped to the outside. The container should be of one of the following types of material:
- Cotton or polyjute bags (most desirable)
- Manilla seed envelopes
- Heavy paper bags (double bagged)
Samples submitted in sealed plastic bags will not be accepted as this packaging affects the longevity of the seed. Seed must be submitted in new containers and must be shipped in a manner to ensure the intact arrival.
5.10 Interim Registration Renewals/Reinstatements:
The registrant must submit:
- a letter requesting the renewal/reinstatement of registration;
- a recommendation from a recommending committee supporting renewal/reinstatement for the variety; and
- the appropriate fees along with the fee submission form.
The onus is on the registrant to ensure interim registrations are not allowed to expire. If the interim registration of a variety has been allowed to lapse for a period greater than one year, for crops other than potatoes, a new legal reference sample must be submitted.
If an application for renewal (with applicable fees) is received prior to the expiry date, the application will be considered to be a renewal. If the application is received after the expiry date, the application will be considered to be a reinstatement and appropriate fees will apply.
5.11 Extension of Regions of Registration
The registrant must submit:
- a letter requesting the extension of regions of registration; and
- a letter from the appropriate registration recommending committee indicating they do not object to the registration of the variety in the region of its jurisdiction.
5.12 Changing a Variety Name After Registration
A variety name may be changed following registration with receipt of the following:
- a written request by the Canadian representative indicating an acceptable alternative name;
- written permission by the breeder or owner of the variety (where applicable);
- a completed page one of the Application Form indicating if Plant Breeders' Rights have been applied for or granted and whether the variety is sold by any other name(s) in other countries, as well as an original signed declaration that a Canadian trademark has not been applied for or received for use of the name or any part of the name on seed;
- the applicable fee along with a Fee Submission form for variety registration; and
- the original certificate of registration, so that an amended certificate can be issued.
The name under which a variety is granted Plant Breeders' Rights must be identical to that under which the variety is registered. A separate application and appropriate fees must be submitted to the Plant Breeders' Rights Office. Under Plant Breeders' Rights legislation, there are limited circumstances under which a name change may be accepted.
5.13 Inactive Applications
Applications are considered inactive when no correspondence has been received from the applicant within one year of written notification that an application is incomplete. Inactive applications will be closed.
An application may be withdrawn or closed at any time upon the written request of the applicant.
Prior to closing an inactive application, the Variety Registration Office will contact the applicant in writing to notify them that their application is inactive and will be closed if no response is received within 60 days. Applicants may request, within the 60 days, to re-activate the application and gather the required information. Re-activation of an application may require the submission of a new legal reference sample.
The Variety Registration Office will notify the applicant in writing once an application is closed. Submitted reference samples will then be returned to the applicant.
Note: Once an application is withdrawn or closed, a new evaluation fee must be paid if the applicant wishes to re-apply for registration (see Appendix XIII).
5.14 Deregistration/Cancellation of Registration
A variety may be deregistered at any time upon the written request of the registrant with written permission of the breeder or owner of the variety (where applicable). Prior to requesting deregistration of a variety the registrant is required to check the availability of pedigreed seed and/or develop a disposal plan acceptable to seed growers in possession of pedigreed seed of the variety.
6. Obligations of the Registrant Following Registration
Brand names may be used in advertising in association with registered variety name if the brand name is conspicuous and legible, for example: if a company has a brand called "DMX" and a variety registered as "1234", then the company can advertise the variety using one of the following methods:
DMX™ 1234 or DMX® 1234 or DMX Brand 1234
It is not acceptable to advertise the variety as: DMX1234 or DMX 1234.
Note: Only the name by which variety is registered can be used on an official label, i.e. "1234".
7. Glossary
Canadian Representative: Unless otherwise stated, the Canadian Representative is the official registrant of a variety and is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Seeds Regulations and for all other obligations of the registrant following registration. The Canadian Representative will receive all correspondence regarding the variety and may authorize the voluntary deregistration of the variety (with permission from the breeder). Any correspondence regarding any legal action taken with respect to the variety is directed to the Canadian Representative.
Commodity type field peas: Includes green, yellow or winter peas, but does not include forage peas, pigeon peas, marrowfat peas or maple type peas.
Composite Canola variety: A plant population in which a specified minimum percentage of the progeny result from the crossing of parental lines (are hybrid). For Brassica napus composite varieties at least 70% of the progeny must be hybrid and for Brassica rapa at least 50% of the progeny must be hybrid. For both species the rest of the progeny are from sib mating and/or selfing of the parental lines. The seed sown to produce a composite canola is an interim seed class (Select Synthetic) and is the result of a controlled, specific blending of either Breeder Seed class and/or Foundation Seed class seed of the parental lines of the variety.
Note: at this time only two component (two parental line) composite varieties will be considered for variety registration.
Distributor: A distributor generally handles the marketing and sale of seed of a variety.
Forage type oats, triticale and peas: Varieties that are sold as being for herbage or whole plant harvest for livestock feed. Does not include varieties marketed for production of grain for livestock feed.
Home garden potato variety: A potato variety that is not being sold for the table stock or processing market; seed acreage is restricted to a maximum of one (1) hectare.
Merit: Equal or superior to appropriate reference varieties with regard to any single characteristic or combination of characteristics that renders the variety beneficial for a particular use in a specific area of Canada.
Off-type: Plant that deviates in one or more characteristics from the official description of the variety.
Official certifying agency: An organization in a foreign state that is empowered by the government of that state to certify seed crops and seed as to the varietal purity thereof where that state is
- a participating member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's schemes for the varietal certification of seed moving in international trade for that kind or species, or
- a member of the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies.
Plants with Novel Traits (PNTs): A plant variety possessing a characteristic that is intentionally selected or created through a specific genetic change and is either not previously associated with a distinct and stable population of the plant species in Canada or expressed outside the normal range of a similar existing characteristic in the plant species.
Plants derived from PNTs: A variety that results from traditional plant breeding using a PNT as a parental line.
Registrant: The party who receives the certificate of registration and to whom correspondence is directed regarding any legal action taken with respect to the variety.
Variant: Any seed or plant which:
- is distinct within the variety but occurs naturally within the variety;
- is stable and predictable with a degree of reliability compared to other varieties of the same kind, within known tolerances;
- was originally part of the variety as released; and
- is not an off-type.

Pumpkin-Carving Tips
Guest blogger Ronda Kaysen: Kids and knives don't usually go well together, but when it comes to carving up Halloween jack-o'-lanterns, the situation is hard to avoid. Here are some tips for helping them create a menacing gourd without a trip to the emergency room.
"Jack-o'-lanterns are part of Halloween fun, but remember to take precautions before and during cutting," says hand surgeon George Kardashian, MD, of the Center for Bone and Joint Disease. Here are his tips for making the carving fun and safe for everyone:
- Choose your tools wisely. Don't use just any household knife to carve up your pumpkin. Invest in knives made specifically for the task. Most Halloween supply stores stock carving kits. Martha Stewart sells one for about $25 that includes nine carvers, patterns and an instruction booklet.
- A cut below. Rather than cut open the top of the pumpkin, cut a hole out of the bottom. It's an easier place to cut, you can create a larger opening and it makes it easier to stand the pumpkin atop a candle, rather than placing the candle inside on an uneven bottom.
- Tell the kids, "Knives are for Mommy." Let them choose the pattern and trace it onto the pumpkin before you carve. They can also be in charge of scooping out the gooey innards. (An ice-cream scoop is a great tool for getting all the seeds out.) But when it comes to wielding the knives, leave that part to Mom and Dad.
- Be a neat freak. Keep the area clean and as non-slippery as possible. Make sure all the seeds are scooped out and the mess cleaned up before you start the carving. Dry your hands when you're handling the knife, so you don't slip and cut yourself.
- Who needs knives, anyway? If the kids are really young, consider uncarved jack-o'-lanterns. Have the kids decorate their pumpkins with stickers, paint or markers. They can make a fairly scary creation without any cuts at all!

Every one or two days, on the way back from class I hit up the Monteverde open air market for fresh items like fruits and vegetables (and mozzarella di bufala, if they haven't sold out already). Then I head over to the strange little grocery stores by the bus stop that specialize in things like meat, bread or other day-to-day items. (There's even one that only sells frozen foods. I haven't been brave enough to go in yet.)
Once a week, however, I hop off the bus a few stops early at a big Supermercato Simply. Not only does it scratch that itch for a little bit of American convenience, but it offers products like knock-off Nutella, Corn Flakes, reduced fat milk and even plastic bags.
What I bought today with 20 euro—Corn Flakes, weird spongy bread that has fake crust, salami, cookies, GREEN bananas, tomato, zucchini, garlic (you can't buy less than three heads anywhere), mozzarella di bufala, chocolate hazelnut spread, spaghetti and milk.
Despite stereotypes, packaged foods do not seem to be the enemy among Italians. Items like packaged cookies and pastries are everywhere, and packaged meats and cheeses are also very common. Supermarkets like Simply seem to draw a younger crowd than the Monteverde market, and everyone in line tends to have items like chips, frozen pastas and packaged bread.
Despite the freezers and packaging, Simply's produce section stays true to the slow food movement in Italy. When you buy fruits and veggies in Rome, the emphasis is on freshness and taste, not appearance. Much of the produce isn't pretty and you have to buy just a little each day so that it doesn't go bad, but it's the best you'll ever eat.
Now, off to use as much garlic as possible.

polka dots and knits
(shoes Gianvito Rossi, skirt Tatuna Nikolaishvili, sweater American Apparel)
Polka dot must be the most playful pattern. There's so many ways to play around this trend. I found this fabric in my granny's closet and immediately wanted something out of it. Asymmetry is giving new edge to cuts, especially when you deal with something as cute as polka dot pattern.
There's something else I'd like to tell you. Louisa, the photographer, is the most talented and easy to work with person. Her vision is very unique and special. The most important here is that she shoots with film, which is quite rare these days. If you want to take a look at her other works or even contact her just like her Facebook page Louisa's.

(( The awkward moment when you're playing Portal 2 co-op and you accidentally push the wrong signal button, and then your friend kills him/herself trying to perform the action. c: ))
Well… never started a chain before.. and so far I think I am failing… uhhh.. ;____; LOOK AT THIS LENGTHY MONSTER!! AAAHHH!!
Anyway. This is actually supposed to be a chain starter.. at least.. if you want to…
I figured I'd just use…
Wheatley's hands were tightened into fists and his eyes were strong and sharp. His teeth showed in a feirce manor. "I'm not stupid enough to back off, for all I bloody know you could easily attack as I back down." He growled. He then brought up one of his hands and loosened the fist, raisin his thumb and middle finger he snapped. Clear panels slid down from the cieling and surrounded the other as Wheatley backed away a few inches. The panels were clear and tall, so he could see Fact but so he wouldn't climb out. The blue themed android decided not to put a clear lid panel over the others so he could actually here Fact. With an insane smirk, he crossed his arms and chuckled. "Just being safe, mate. No offense."
The pleased look vanished from Craig's eyes immediately as soon as the panels engulfed him, and the pink-tinted android could quite literally hear his processors whirring faster as he got a grasp on the situation. He was being trapped up inbetween panels, little space, little freedom, much like that one box for corrupted spheres, a right trashbin for unneeded cores. And here Wheatley was, trapping him in another box, like he was going to be a danger simply by being there.
Craig lifted his arms, feeling the panels, trying to push them away, but to no avail. Trapped. Oh, this Wheatley was different, he really was. How utterly fascinating. He would have to make many updates to his database soon, about this haywire Intelligence Dampening Core allowed control over the facility - at this point, Craig's focus had reverted to staring at the blue-themed android again, registering as much as possible about him. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, though, despite everything.
"The Fact Sphere takes no offense to being considered a threat. However, the Fact Sphere has neither reason nor intention to harm a working mainframe. Let me go."
Wheatley rose an eyebrow looking at the pink haired android with a cocky grin. The fact sphere did have a point about not wanting to confront the working mainframe in such a violent way. He brought his hand to his chin and rubbed it a bit as his bright blue eyes glanced away from the pink tinted android.
"Hmmm.. you do have a point, mate." Wheatley then paused to let out a long sigh as he began to calm down the slightest bit. "Fine.. but if you make one bloody move.. into the incinerator you go." He threatened with a grin.
"Do you understand, mate?"
It seemed as though Wheatley was coming to his senses, despite the lingering incinerator threat hanging in the air even afterwards. Craig stared back at him, allowing his own processors a couple of moments to cool down, before replying with a faint smirk of his own.
Incinerator or no incinerator, he had no particular intention to harm the mainframe, even if someone like Wheatley was in charge. Whether he liked it or not, his own superiority complex was mildened a little by the existance of a mainframe who wasn't himself, someone with more control, size, and powers. He detested it, naturally, but there was also a certain amount of respect that came with his programming. His pink eyes lit up again a little as his attention returned to the panels surrounding him.
"You should release the Fact Sphere now."
And with that, Wheatley snapped his fingers once again. He watched the panels lift back into the ceiling, then taking attention to the pink themed droid once again. His eyes were kind and soft again as his grin ligtened up into a warm smile as well. He might've seem calm, but the itch to test kept banging on the inside of his skull. It was unbearable..but he tried to ignore it.
"Now..Why did you come up here, mate? What was your purpose?"
He asked, leaning back on seat connected to the ceiling. He rested his hands in front of him, placing the tips of his fingers on his right hand, to the ones on the left.
((Soo uh.. I changed my background from the horrible lag some people were having from it :c -Sobs- I sorry to be the cause of your lag ;A; ))
