Launching for Spring this new limited edition fragrance is inspired by the cherry blossom tree in full bloom.
Couture La La Eau de Parfum is the latest release from Juicy Couture for Spring 2013. I know, the name is weird but the blushing pink color of the fragrance looks very pretty….
The notes however could provide a little similiar to the original Juicy Couture Fragrance.
P.S. A book rec after the jump perhaps?!Read More...
Once upon a time, back in the 90's, when it seemed like Jean Rochefort was much younger by not a lot, he starred in one of my favorite French films, The Hairdresser's Husband.
As with many French films I've watched, The Hairdresser's Husband contains its fair deal of sex, passion, romance, love, and some sadness.
The story revolves around a 12 year old version of Jean Rochefort's character who falls in love with his hairdresser. Later on in life he romances and marries a similiar such hairdresser. Obviously his wet dreams about his childhood crush have carried well into his adult ones. And so begins an odd romance….!
Without giving too much away there's a scene in the movie that showcases the characters having a drink of cologne and aftershave because they don't have any liquor. It's morbid, comical, and it always made me laugh.
Funny enough, leave it to Lush, to create a perfume based on this foreign film and dub it the Hairdresser's Husband. I'm surprised that Lush didn't make it edible as well so we could wear it and drink it as well.
But sorry, no reenacting fabulously memorable movie moments here, this is simply for wearing not drinking.Read More...

It's available in:
It's launched in store as well as online.
If you sniffed it do share your commentary about it. Would love to hear. I must admit I wasn't impressed with Forever Red so I'm kinda veering away from fragrances Bath & Body Works does lately. I'll stick with candles, anti-bacs, and fragrance oils from them!

Where is Kate Beckett? I know she is in a happy place now, but where is her strong personality? Flirting, dancing around a killer, and not putting the handcuffs to a murderer because she is on air on a tv show? it's way too much unprofessional. I'm not liking where this is heading.
Comment modified at
I don't like the way things are going for the couple. I can predict they're going to (finally) get together for one episode just to pull them apart because Beckett will discover the secrets Castle has around her shooting.
I desagree with this review. I haven't read any other reviews or seen any spoilers and, though I had the feeling that Travis was the real killer somehow, I did't espected Gellar's being dead. OK this is being a lower interesting season for me, mostly 'cause all God stuff and thinking. Moreover, Dexter is acting way too careless. There are 3 living people who know he is a killer, he goes around no matter people can see him doing "weird" things. He killed Nick in a beach!! How did he carry the body to his car without anyone seing him? Two seasons ago the writers tried to tell us he was losing control because he had to take care of his family, but now that he has to be there for Harrison I'd espected him to be even more careful than ever.

Al Jazeera Sport Buys English Premier League Soccer TV Rights for Middle East
The network acquires broadcast rights for three years, with its head saying the deal will help "extend further our portfolio of top European soccer."
LONDON -- Al Jazeera Sport has acquired TV rights to English Premier League soccer games for the Middle East and North Africa for a three-year period through the 2015-16 season.
The pan-Arab network, based in Qatar, said late Monday that it will be the "exclusive media rights holder" for all 380 league matches each year across all media platforms and devices in the region, which includes 23 countries.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
PHOTOS: Casting the 2012 Euro Cup Movie
When the Premier League sold its U.K. rights to BSkyB and BT last year, some expected Al Jazeera also would make a play -- but it never was clear if the channel really was looking to enter the British market.
"We are extremely excited by the addition of the Barclays Premier League for the next three-year cycle," said Al Jazeera Sport chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi, highlighting "the value that this can add to our customer proposition and extending further our portfolio of top European [soccer]."
STORY: RTL Secures German National Soccer Rights
Said EPL CEO Richard Scudamore, "We are extremely pleased to welcome Al Jazeera Sport as a new partner in the Middle East and North Africa."
The rights were sold by international sports-rights firm MP & Silva.
Al Jazeera Sport said it "plans to bring our subscribers complete coverage of the Barclays Premier League, including dedicated studios for both Arabic and English coverage."
The Middle East and North Africa region includes such countries as Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.

We are reiterating our Neutral recommendation on
Manulife Financial Corp.
), following its solid first quarter results which included a
18.5% positive earnings surprise. This Zacks Rank # 3 (Hold) life
insurer performed reasonably well led by lower new business
strain, smaller amortization of deferred acquisition costs and
decreased expenses.
Why reiterate?
Manulife is aggressively developing its business from Asia.
The company has expanded its distribution network across the
region, securing and deepening strategically important
distribution agreements with key partners in Japan and Indonesia.
We expect the company to gain further advantage in the Asian
markets which remains a key to its long term growth.
Manulife's business exposes it to interest rate and equity
market volatility. To offset these involuntary forces affecting
its business, the company has effectively built its hedging
program. Manulife has achieved its 2014 hedging targets and
is now two years ahead of schedule. We believe these steps will
help the company to emerge as a stronger company, cushioning
earnings from uncountable market variables.
Manulife is aligning its product offering to concentrate on
higher margin, low risk products as against higher risk-capital
intensive products. While this will result in subdued growth
relative to its historical pace, we believe that it will deliver
more sustainable growth targets and improve product margins as
well as earnings consistency over time.
Moreover, Manulife is maintaining a strong capital position.
The company retains a high quality investment portfolio. Its
invested assets are highly diversified by sector and geography
and have limited exposure to the high-risk areas.
Nevertheless, low bond yields and a volatile equity markets
continue to pose headwinds for the company, dwarfing the

Eight films to check out before Guillermo Del Toro's "Crimson Peak" comes out Friday.
There's an unlikelihood so large in "Future Weather" that it nearly derails the film. That was what I admired the most about it. It involves the unusual amount of scientific knowledge possessed by Lauduree, its 13-year-old heroine, and Neel, the pudgy, shy classmate she defends against bullies.
These two are the students of Ms. Markovi (Lili Taylor) in a high school somewhere in Downstate Illinois. They get a lot of attention; Ms. Markovi starts a Science Club and carries on even when Lauduree (Perla Haney-Jardine) decides to drop out. Lauduree doesn't quit because of the obvious reason: Her worthless mom Tanya (Marin Ireland) has abandoned her in a trailer home with the rent unpaid and left for California "to pursue my dream of doing makeup for the stars."
No, even though Tanya left her only $50 (for food and things), Lauduree has dropped out because the club has started a project on reducing the CO2 emission in the atmosphere, and it duplicates work she has already started on her own. She'd lose her "database." Lauduree is fearsomely well-informed about global warming, and trades big words with Neel and their teacher as if they were colleagues in a think tank.
That's the flaw. There is little evidence to explain how Lauduree or Neel came into that information. Neel, a golden-skinned kid who peers out from behind his hair like a sheep dog, has somehow gotten on the same self-improvement track as his classmate. It's possible to know a lot of "scientific facts" at 13, and there are news reports almost daily of 12-year-olds whose Science Fair projects solve nuclear fusion. But nothing in this girl's life accounts for it. Lauduree, whose mother ran away from her after giving her that unfortunate name, is backstopped only by her grandmother, Greta (Amy Madigan), a chain-smoking, hard drinking potty mouth who is planning to move to Florida with her boyfriend Ed (William Sadler). These are not people who study polar bear videos on YouTube.
Lauduree, then, is a stranger in a strange land. Absorbed in her dreams, obsessed by her homework, she shows no grief or panic when left alone and broke by her mother. Without food money, her immediate reaction is to shoplift a light bulb that consumes low energy. One day she wears makeup and when Neel asks her why, she says it's to make herself look more normal so she can get more signatures on her petitions.
Reportedly, Jenny Deller, a 37-year-old born in Murphysboro, partly financed her film with a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and I believe it. She may have gotten a tad carried away by the foundation's support for nature. The result is a film with characters we like (including those played by Lili Taylor and Amy Madigan), in a world that doesn't seem plausible. Yet there's such a sweetness in the way Lauduree carries potted trees everywhere, looking for a home for them. And when Neel and Lauduree get started on the mussels in a nearby creek, there's ecstasy in the way they discuss the role of the mussel in water filtration. They find a mussel stuck in the gravel at the button of a ditch, its slit bravely stuck upwards, and we expect "Ode to Joy."
The film's portrait of its small town is finely done. There is a fraught sequence when the faithless mom Tanya returns from California for a visit, and Greta lets her have it. There are indications that life is going to get more complicated here. But when a movie shows a couple of bright kids excited about a mussel, it's hard to say no.

History of the Church
The first plan dates from 1839. The work on the building's structure was conducted between 1841 and 1865, and the interior ornamentation, from 1876 to 1885. Missionnaries on temporary postings initiated the actual construction. It was only after the arrival of the Oblate Fathers in 1844 that the work proceeded on a regular basis.
In 1847, the poor mission church was prematurely transformed into a cathedral, the seat of the first Bishop of Bytown, Most Reverend Joseph-Eugène-Bruno Guigues, O.M.I. With the growth of the diocese under the second Bishop of Ottawa, Most Reverend Thomas Duhamel, and with the impetus of a visionary artist, Canon Georges Bouillon, the cathedral was finally completed in 1885. Dedicated to the Immaculate Conception in 1853, Notre Dame Cathedral was elevated to the status of basilica in 1879.
In 1999, the Cathedral underwent a major restoration. This was the first phase of a multi-year project.
In 1978, both the National Capital Commission and the City of Ottawa officially recognized the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica of Ottawa as an historic monument. The cathedral is indeed the oldest surviving church in Ottawa. It stands on the site that was occupied by the first Catholic chapel open to both anglophones and francophones of Bytown.
Interior Architecture
Today the spaciousness, majesty, and sacred character of the interior of this cathedral strike the visitor just as they did a hundred years ago. In the reigning dimness, one soon makes out the long, narrow, and high central nave, with its line of imposing Gothic arches running from the entrance all the way to the main altar. On each side, bundles of slender columns divide the nave from the aisles. Supported by these columns and covering the side aisles are terraced galleries that look out into the nave and help to define its vastness. Above these large arches runs a blind arcade, with three arches per span, which accentuates the rhythm of the nave. Over each segment stands a high window. In the sanctuary, the large arches progressively open up to a view of the windows set in behind them, the blind arcades display their theatrical decor and the high windows look like beams of light beneath the imposing sculpted flowerlet that terminates the lierne and unites the ribbing of the apse in a crown above the main altar.
The Sanctuary
The most surprising and fascinating aspect of this sanctuary is the richness of its Gothic ornamentation and the originality of its iconographic programme. It is in studying the decoration and especially the sculptures of the sanctuary that the spirit of Canon Bouillon's utmost creativity becomes evident. Strongly inspired by a long medieval tradition and influenced by the neo-Gothic movement, this iconography is at once complex yet coherent, traditional yet innovative, symbolic yet largely accessible. Although it has a traditional air, it bears the markings of its nineteenth century central-Canadian roots. The sanctuary of Notre Dame of Ottawa permits us to enter into the circle of a great assembly: patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and saints gathered around Christ, amidst the angels, in the glory of the heavenly Jerusalem. But surprisingly, in different niches of honour, we recognize Saint Joseph, patron saint of Canada, as well as Saint John the Baptist, and St. Patrick, patron saints of the Archdiocese of Ottawa.
The Lateral altars
At the entry to the sanctuary, in the two lateral rows joining the nave's side aisles, have been erected secondary altars of sculpted wood, covered with gold leaf and decorated with precious stones; they are rather like the shutters of a giant triptych of azure and gold. The altar located on the left side of the sanctuary was built in 1879 and dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The other one, on the right-hand side, dates from 1885 and is consecrated to the Virgin Mary; it is the most splendid of this church's three altars, and Canon Bouillon's final realization in the cathedral.
The Stained-Glass Windows
The first series of stained-glass windows installed in the cathedral dates 1879. Made by the English glassworker Horwood, these windows consist of geometrical motifs painted in grisaille and embellished by light touches of vivid colours. Most of them were replaced between 1956 and 1961 by a series of 17 historiated windows, made by the artist Guido Nincheri of Montreal, telling of the mysteries of Christ's life and that of the Virgin Mary. Of particular prominence is the large window located just above the cathedral's main entrance. The tall figures painted in the center of this window represent, from the left to right: St. Patrick, St. Paul, the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, St. Peter, and St. John the Baptist.

"They have to pull gas. And if there's no usage for it, that just puts more pressure on wholesale prices, which in turn puts more pressure on futures."
Related quotes
"Wholesale prices of gasoline have come down and that should slow retail price increases in the next week. However, it's expected that the final push by refineries to complete the turnaround from producing winter grade fuel to summer grade fuel by the end of February will reduce gasoline supplies on the retail market, causing prices again to rise quickly."
"While there can be no guarantees in such a volatile wholesale market, we see no need for any further price rises this year, assuming the infrastructure is ready to deliver new gas next winter and that proper action is taken following the Commission's findings."
"Wholesale prices dropped significantly last week. Unless some issues happen with refineries in California, we expect prices to go down."
"With wholesale prices where they are, all suppliers are going to have to put prices up in 2006, and I think that is inevitable."
"Wholesale prices for natural gas have been declining ever since December, so we're glad to pass those savings on to our customers."
"Additionally, we are seeing wholesale prices for natural gas to drop and expect approximately an 11 percent decrease in February."

Problems starting JNLP in InternetExplorer after Win XP SP2 install
a customer reported that they have problems starting a WebStart application in InternetExplorer after installing Win Xp SP2.
They said even re-installing the JRE did't help.
Has anyone else come across such problems?
I'll second the clearing of the cache:
IE : Tools : Internet Options : Delete Files : Delete all offline content(check this)
I realize that this is extreme but this is the only thing that worked for me.
What webserver is serving up the JWS application? What is the exact error?
If tomcat, it could be a no-cache directive...see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=442995
You can also have the user flush their IE cache, sometimes that helps. Ideally you want them to set to never cache.

Unsecured Business Funding
A small percentage of the company's $70 million in loans have been unsecured business funding ventures which have been extremely successful for both the investors and business owners. Just as the name implies, an unsecured loan is one in which the business owner doesn't have to pledge any property or assets against the loan. The entire risk is covered by the lender which is why these types of loans carry a higher interest rate and are a little harder to acquire.
"In terms of securing the financing that the Biz Funding Group got for me, I would not have been able to do it on my own. I could not have presented my case as effectively as their executives and they were always very responsive and professional when I called." – James A. Schmirler, SQS Inc.
Every small business owner has a vision and a mission when he or she starts a business and to achieve this vision they oftentimes need funding and financial backing from a trusted source. The main benefit in choosing unsecured business funding is that the borrower doesn't have to risk any of his or her own property and if the business fails they don't have to worry about losing their valuables.
These loans are designed in such a way that small business owners can make use of this strategy to quickly expand their existing business or even start a new one. Unsecured loans are also available in the event the business owner is in need of quick working capital to make the payroll or to pay suppliers and service providers.
For 10 years we have been helping people just like you legally structure their companies, find the right franchises, and get the funding they need to achieve the American Dream of owning their own successful business. Since expanding nationwide in 2007 we have helped thousands of companies and have funded over $70 Million in business credit lines, not including our work with SBA loans.

On October 13, get ready to go wild.
The next adventure in the award-winning FunJungle series is coming soon.
Teddy Fitzroy is back — and he's on his wildest case yet.
When someone takes aim at Rhonda Rhino, FunJungle's pregnant (and endangered) Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros, the zoo steps up security measures in order to protect this rare animal and her baby.
But the extra security isn't enough—someone is still getting too close for comfort. Teddy starts to suspect that whoever is after Rhonda is really after her horn, which is worth a lot of money on the black market.
Now, Teddy's in a race to find the true culprit before Rhonda ends up dead. He'll have to face everything from stampeding elephants to ravenous crocodiles to uncover the truth, in an adventure that's more dangerous — and funnier — than ever before.

Measuring your ring size: Measuring diameter: this is the easiest method but only works if you have a ring that already fits the same finger that you would like the ring for. Use a ruler to measure across the inside edge of the ring in centimetres. Measuring circumference: use a measuring tape no wider than (2cm). Do not use a piece of string or thread as this will follow your finger too closely and record an incorrect size. Measure the circumference of your finger by wrapping the measuring tape around your finger, making sure it slides easily over the knuckle. Using a pen, mark the tape at the point where it overlaps. Now measure the length in centimetres from the start of the tape to the pen mark. made from: Sterling Silver, Gilson's Turquoise and Rainbow Moonstone. To keep clean we recommend using a silver polishing cloth. dimensions: Total length of ring on finger, approx 1.1cm. Available in these sizes, stock depending: K: circumference 5cm, diameter 1.58cm.

I did 2 rounds of clomid in the fall with IUI and didn't get pregnant. Did injectibles in January but only had follicles on my tubeless side. We did injectibles in Feb, got a BFP but my numbers were barely creeping up. We were afraid of ectopic and I did methotrexate at 5w1d. My RE was sure it was not viable. I went last week for an ultrasound to check things out and we saw a sac in my uterus measuring 5w3d. I was 6w2d. I'm so bummed to think we could have jumped the gun but I really dont think we did. My numbers were so low and barely rising. They never got above 515 at 5w4d. But anyway I had a d&c on Thursday and we are going back to injectibles as soon as I get my period. My RE is hopeful I will get pregnant again within a few cycles of injectibles. I'm scared that was my luckly cycle and I won't get it again :( But part of me keeps thinking, if it worked on the first cycle surely it can work again, RIGHT?! Or wrong? My RE calls me his little worrier.
I got pregnant in 2009 on my own and my DD was stillborn. Got pregnant on my first IUI with clomid in 2010 and had a DS. This was my first pregnancy since then.
