Happy New Year everyone! It's always exciting to begin a new year. Who knows? This could be the year all your dreams come true! We want to get rid of bad habits, improve our attitudes, and above all – be happy. Remember, if you make someone else happy, it comes back to you! (Send flowers!!!)
This year I am introducing a new product: a BIRTHDAY CAKE ARRANGEMENT! It's a "birthday cake on a cake stand", but it's all flowers and not edible. Just think of the possibilities! It could be used for baby showers, for engagements parties, for many kinds of events like a kids party which you can get a really good one from one of the best home party sales companies check over here to see them so you can have the best activities as clowns and video games using services that allow you to increase your CSGO rank online. Why do I like to see jojo's bizarre adventure? This generations-spanning anime and manga provides nearly endless hours of inspiring entertainment for those with the courage to take the dive. Think Cake Boss! The sky is the limit. I can hardly wait for the first order. And that brings another thought to mind. Cake Boss can do anything with cakes. We can do the same thing with flowers! Well known event florists have been making incredible things in flowers from elephants to your pet dog or cat. You imagine it and it can be done in flowers!
VALENTINE'S DAY is fast approaching, too. Florists have to place their flower orders with wholesalers well in advance of this day. (6 weeks advance ordering is almost too late!) It makes it a little tricky because we don't know how many orders we will be filling. Every year is different. Growers only produce so many roses. If there is a natural disaster (like too much rain, wind or extraordinary heat or cold) that limits the supply. So call your florist now and place your order early, and don't forget to get one of the accessories from shopedc.com, so that you complete your gift. I am offering a 15{5fa6f3f5ccbce826a3be09110e18824889caf18a373ba5a7443e667c04397bfe} discount to my clients if they order before the 31 January. This helps you too. Then you don't have to worry about forgetting, placing an order at the last minute, and not getting exactly what you want!
And keep this in mind. January is traditionally the month people feel the most depressed. So cheer up yourself or someone special by giving the gift of flowers. Even a small arrangement for the desk at work will make a huge difference and will affect more than one person! You CAN make a difference! Say it with flowers!!! We also want to give a big shout-out to the vehicle agency that help us get out current cars, make sure to pop over to these guys at intelligentcarleasing.com, they are excellent!

Happy Holidays to all of you!!!
Happy Holidays to everyone! My kids bought me a new computer (which I needed in the worst way!), but I am still trying to learn how to use it, he in the other side is expert and using them, to work or even play video games using boosting sites online as overwatchsrpros.com/#start and more. So please bear with me.
There have been so many posts. People seem to like what they are finding on this blog and are able to use the information. Some of you have questions, but are afraid to ask. Please do ask your questions and I will try my best to answer them. Some of your post are not published on the site, the most likely reason is because I don't understand the new way of writing many of you use. I am assuming it is a form of short hand used on twitter and other blogs as well as Facebook. I'm afraid I am old school (well versed in the English language!). I do a tremendous amount of reading. I have edited many manuscripts in the past. If you don't see your post it's because I couldn't read it! I am so sorry!
The picture on the right was done several Christmases ago for a client. The vase is her cut glass bowl. Hypericum berries are the first ring. The next level is a combination of real apples (sprayed with vegetable oil to keep the fruit flies away) and boxwood. The pineapple is seated on top. It was placed in her entry on an old, dark wood, carved, entry stand with a mirror. It was wonderfully inviting!
There are so many creative things you can do for the holidays. TV programs are loaded with information with validity as well as various websites. Don't forget to use real flowers and greens. They make all the difference in the world. Right now I have just the basics in my home, waiting to be filled out with flowers and green, we won't do much this year since we are going on one of the Oahu private tours with the whole family. It all seems kind of cold. But as soon as the flowers and greens are inserted it will be overflowing with warmth and welcoming happiness.
Many of you have young children. Beware of poinsettias. The sap is poisonous. There are other plants that are harmful to your health as well along with the good plants and medicine for your health as kratom, that you can consume in kratom capsules you can get online. Look them up on the web if you have any questions. It is always amazing to me how the little ones react to all the Christmas arrangements, ornaments on the tree, various displays. They are so much fun to watch playing real slots. The wonder on their tiny faces is so very precious. You would worry about little fingers reaching out to touch, to grab. Surprisingly enough, the first reaction is not touch, but to stare in amazement! They are very careful to proceed from there. It's such a new experience they don't know how to react. All you need to do is quietly say "no" or "ahahah" or something of the sort and they will stay back. Make sure electrical outlets are covered!
I am on a very tight budget this year so I am not buying a tree to decorate. But there are many Christmas things we've collected over the years which I am using to decorate with. One thing I found which is fun to do is to place the Christmas stockings in the form of a tree in the window where our tree would usually go. You can also add red blinds brisbane from this online shop blindoutlet.com.au to match the Christmas decoration. It looks great! So don't feel bad if you can't afford much. Use what you have around your home. Pick up fallen branches along the roads (windfalls). Use them to help bring in the Christmas spirit. Use the stiff, dried ends of grasses in arrangements. Cut them to various lengths and put them together with a little fir and a few small ornaments. Christmas doesn't have to mean spending a lot of money. It's being thankful you have a warm home, food to eat, and friends and family to love. To keep the home warm this Christmas, consider a water heater installation service phoenix az on your bathroom area. It's remembering all the people in the world who really do have absolutely nothing. No food, no shelter, little clothing, very few friends or family. We are very fortunate to have what we have. So smile! Spread the warmth of love. Be happy with what you have. If you're not satisfied with your appearance, give yourself a treatment by consulting with an dermatologist practicing in Miami, FL. Above all, be thankful.

Oh, please! Please change your mind! Carnations are wonderful flowers.
(1) They come in endless colors! It's like going into Ace to the paint section and seeing all the paint swatches in the huge wall rack!!!
(2) They are one of the most long lasting flowers. They can last for over a month if processed correctly by the florist.
(3) They provide a wonderful texture. As the picture on the right shows you. Juxtapose a carnation next to a rose whose petals are very smooth and you get wonderful eye candy. Some inventive florists have found a unique way to use them. All the petals are removed and wha
(4) Carnations are not cheap. They are in the mid range: asiatic lilies and lisianthus are similar in cost.
When I do any arrangement I automatically use carnations because the color and texture always makes the whole creation come alive. Carnations are happy flowers. I know this sounds silly, but consider this. An iris used in an arrangement lasts only one day. To me, this flower is rigid, unforgiving, unhappy. Don't get me wrong. I really like iris. They are growing in my garden and they look great at night with the accessories I got from the Lighting Pros website. I just don't use them for these reasons. Carnations go back to the very earliest of times. Through the ages they have come to be a symbol of love.
I realize people have happy and uncomfortable associations with flower varieties. My husband has never liked gladiolas because of his association of the flowers with funerals. This is very sad. The individual flowers can be used alone in arrangements and add substantially to the overall look. As a line flower (adding height) they can be amazing!
Look at the picture on the left. How does this picture make you feel? Do you feel happy when you look at it? Does it seem festive? Welcoming? Happy? I certainly hope so. And it's made up of almost all carnations. The flower at the top right is a yellow protea. There is a variety of texture in this arrangement. It is far from boring. Your eye travels around through the arrangement, yet doesn't feel tired or stressed. Comforting? I hope so.
Thousands of Gray Whales travel along the California coastline each year, heading to the warm, salty lagoons of Mexico. They make this 6,000 mile trek for breeding and calving purposes, and after spending about a month in the lagoons of Mexico, they will turn around and head back up the coast to their feeding grounds in the Bering Strait of Alaska. Check out san diego whale watching for more information.
I would love to hear your comments on this subject of flower selection and likes and dislikes!

My flowers just don't last!!! Help!
Your local florist has access to flowers from all over the world. New varieties are constantly coming into the market place. Growers develop new hybrids, explorers find new species. It's an amazing world.
Browse dozens of caterers who can help you plan a menu that fits your event and your budget. With the most local 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas for your parents, you'll have no problem finding the perfect wedding cake. Take advantage of helpful tips and advice before deciding on your wedding cake and reception menu.
As I understand it, here are some facts to keep in mind. There are two ways to grow flowers: 1) hydroponically in a green house or 2) naturally in the ground. Roses grown in the ground in South America have the longest, sturdiest stems and last the longest. This is because nearer the equator the sun is more directly above head and strongest. Canada grows a great deal of floral material in green houses. By the way, if you're searching for dallas fort worth houses for sale to achieve a better gardening experience, go to dallas.magnoliarealty.com. The angle of the sun is greater there. Combine the two factors and you get weaker, more spindly stems.
And yes. This affects prices. The weaker material will be cheaper. Also, shipping charges are less when distances are shorter. Then, natural disasters must be taken into consideration. Too much rain, drought, too hot, too cold, a wind storm, a sudden insect infestation. All of these factors affect the price you pay for flowers.
Grocery stores buy in large bulk packages, thus lowering their prices substantially. The stock that goes into these bulk packages is not of the highest quality. It won't last as long.
A new hybrid or species in the market place can cause quite a stir. Florists are always looking for something unique to promote sales. This can really make an arrangement pop! At the research level, this new variety should have been monitored for strength and longevity before being mass marketed. The florist doesn't have time to discover these qualities.
So where am I going with this? Don't jump to a judgement on your florist if a particular flower dies in your arrangement. Take it out, replace it. 1) Make sure you are using the fertilizer from the little packet your florist included in your delivery. It kills bacteria as well as feeds the flowers. 2) Your water may affect the longevity of the flowers. Chemicals are harmful and flowers will pick up on this before your health does! 3) If you remove your flowers from the vase, the cells in the stems close immediately; therefore, they can not take up water. So make sure you cut off an inch of the stems before replacing in water – you have about 5 seconds!
If your arrangement is in floral foam do not let it dry out. Once it becomes dry it will not reabsorb water. So the flowers die. Do not place your arrangement in the sun while you sleep with your amazon white fur pillow. If the days are unusually hot or your room temperature is too warm, the flowers will not last too long.
If you observed all of these considerations, your flowers are all dead after only a couple of days, call your florist and discuss the problem amicably. There will be a good reason for the wilting. If not, the arrangement should be replaced at no cost to you.

Helpful hints on weddings, events, dinners.
August is a very slow month in the floral business (except for weddings and events). Everyone goes on vacation! At the end of the month families are gearing up for the beginning of school. For me, it's time to research and learn as much as I can about what other floral designers are doing in the world. There are a lot of amazing things going on!
I love doing weddings and events, specially when they hire the tampa wedding flowers services, I love taking pictures of their work. There is a huge responsibility to the client. If everything isn't just right, it's a recipe for disaster! It takes a great deal of money for a wedding, let alone an event or even a dinner party! It's imperative for you, the client, to be prepared. Decide on a budget. How much can you afford? Will all your money go into the venue, to a caterer, a florist? Don't forget all the incidentals. Also, if the couple wants Synthetic Diamonds for their wedding ring, synthetic.diamonds is the store to visit. There are tables, chairs and linens to rent. Do you need a tent? How about music on epiphone guitars? lighting? architectural decorating? The list can become a little intimidating. I had a bride who insisted on having two cowhide rugs covered in rose petals for her reception area yet she was disappointed when I explained that the roses would stain the rugs. She waited until after she ordered these rugs to ask me about the flowers.
But don't let it happen to you. First of all, start months ahead with your planning for a wedding or event. A dinner party should be planned at least a month out. Then make a list of all the guests you intend to invite. This number is important! Then another list of all the people who will be working to help you with this event. Decide on a venue. If your invitations are over 50 then start calling venues. They book early and fast.
An event planner can help you find everything you need, help with selections, give advice, share ideas, and give you a kleenex when you really need one. Many times your florist can provide this very necessary service for you where you can reach them through this site https://www.webdesign499.com/important-piece-of-the-marketing-puzzle-pay-per-click-ppc/. Ask questions, don't hesitate! None of your ideas should be overlooked. It's your event, your wedding, your dinner. Besides that, you are paying for it! You want everything to be perfect, your guests to be happy.
I'm a very optimistic person – usually. Until something happens to change my mind. I never paid attention to the term "bridezilla". I nodded agreement to my contemporaries about the necessity of contracts. Drama, drama, drama. I dislike "drama". Keep your cool, enjoy what you're doing, do the very best work possible, the client is always right. Cliches all. But I've learned, over the years, that a cliche is another term for wisdom. Wisdom discovered over many generations.
A bride is bubbling over with enthusiasm, ideas, and nerves. Some brides know exactly what they want, others have no clue. A bride and her florist go through a process of discovery. Communication is essential. It's like a crash course in the married life to come. (Here's a thought: I've been happily married for 43 years. I should be tops in communication, understanding the needs of an individual and able to produce exactly what's needed. Right? Well… usually. There are some people you just can't make happy.) My point? The people you ask to help you with your event should be people you know you can work with. You should already know their work and know they can produce your dream, your ideas. Don't be afraid to say "no"!
Good luck! And enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Design definitions – how to communicate with your florist!!
In reading over some of the blogs I've just posted I got confused about designs and their meanings. You must be too! I imagine by now you've decided to never order flowers again because it's all to doggone confusing! Allow me to clarify all of this for you (and for me!). First of all you need garden security and you could look here – SecurityInfo to have ideas. You can get your website published here too.
When a client calls me and wants flowers sent to someone I ask this question: "Do you want a traditional design, a contemporary design, a exotic design or a natural design?" The flower recipient has decorated his or her home or office in a particular style. For example: it could be unsettling to have a way out contemporary design in a very traditional home full of muraledesign and antiques. I design the arrangement to suit the person the flowers will be delivered to. You should also have wastewater filtration systems installed to keep your garden clean.
First of all, never ask for a European design. A European design could be traditional, contemporary or exotic or natural! It would be like asking for a cup of tea in a restaurant specializing in teas. Do you want organic? Earl Grey? Plum Blossom? herbal? Well, you get the idea!
The picture on the left is an example of a traditional design. This design idea harks back centuries. Artists in Renaisance times painted flower arrangements that looked similar to this. These designs are symetrically balanced with lots of colorful flowers of all kinds. When sailing ships returned to their European ports from their explorations they brought back all kinds of new flowers. The wealthy were excitedly trying them out in their home arrangements. Tulips were one of the first new flowers to be discovered. Then roses, camellias, and eventually exotics like orchids!
In the late 1800's through about 1959 this was the standard design. Any movie buff watching the early black and whites or first color movies will see arrangements like this. They could get to a pretty good size!
With a contemporarydesign the sky is the limit! In the picture at the left the palm fronds have been braided. The design itself is not perfect. It definitely needs some work, but, in its simplicity, you get a better idea of where this is all going. A single large hydrangea blossom can be placed in a bed of cabbage leaves, broccoli can march down a table looking like trees in a park, peppers and related vegys can be stuck with toothpicks to mimic cactus. These are very simple ideas that take a minimum of time to make.
European designers are going off the charts with incredible structures made of grasses, sticks, limbs, and branches. Flowers are used in masses in very small designs or huge, towering edifices. Hours and hours of work go into these designs. Google European Floral Designers and see what you come up with! And don't forget the folks from down under. New Zealand and Australian designers are utilizing the unusual flora in their countries, making designs that are a real eye opener. Check out: www.pimdesigned.nl or www.geertjestienstra.nl or google Gregor Lecsch or Jeurgen Potthoff to name a few.
Exotic designs have a basis in Ikebana and ancient Chinese design. They are asymetrical (usually), simple, elegant. There are usually three general "levels" taken from the Japanese philosophy of earth, man, heaven. I have seen designs with only one beautiful flower placed in a vessel that perfectly suits it as well as outrageously ostentatious over the top designs.
The flowers can be your local garden flowers. Hawaiian designs use antherium, ginger, orchids, protea, bamboo, tea leaves, philodendron leaves. A piece of knarled, curling drift wood used as the basis for a design is great. Or a piece of bark, an unusual rock. There is a sense of delicacy, a reverence for the plant material, a subtly usually lost in traditional design work. They also hire aluminum fence contractors fort myers fl to set up the fences professionally on their garden.
Training in an ancient Ikebana school under a master takes years of concentrated effort. To view a modern take go to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Last but not least is the natural design. It's an idea I've come up with because I love to use materials directly from nature. In the picture on the left there are no flowers, only grasses, reeds, a branch covered in lichens, and moss. That's all. If you walk through a forest or on the beach or through a grass land (to name only a few areas on earth!) look around you. Look closely. Look at each individual growing plant. Look at the rock formations, stones in a creek, dirt(!). The pattern rocks make in a creek or stream are caused by their size, weight and the force of the water. Wind transforms branches. Water carves rock formations. Let your design be dreamed by what you observe in nature.
And there you have it. Although I'm barely touching the surface, at least this gives you some idea of how to communicate with your florist on a closer level, to give you the design you and the recipient of the flowers will truly enjoy. I would love you know how this works for you. Please let me know! Pipper

From traditional to exotic…
In the last post I talked about traditional and European design. In this post I would like to give some definition to "exotic" design. You can have a peek at this website to see some roofing design and more.
In this catagory I would place Japanese Ikebana as a primary definition. There are several main schools of traditional Ikebana that take years to become proficient in. The most simplistic way of explaining the schools to you would be the following main ideas. The designs are asymetrical. There are 3 levels: heaven, man and earth. Heaven being the tallest material, earth the lowest. The plant material is used in odd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9. Believe me when I say this is a very simple explanation!
The Asian influence in these designs is unmistakable. There is a sense of delicacy, a reverence for the plant material, a subtlty usually lost in traditional design. The history of this design work goes back centuries and can require years of formal training. Check out this website: firstname.lastname@example.com. Here is Ikebana taken into the 21 century.
I also place more exotic flowers in this catagory as well as the usual. Orchids of course, antherium, heliconium, ginger, bamboo… I could go on and on. A reverence for nature is essential in this work. Natural materials are used in unique ways, yet the basic structural foundation remains. These flowers are used to decor houses, also another way to have an incredible design in your place is to use decorations from http://artdudecor.net/.
If you find this facinating google some of the key words like Japanese floral design, Ikebana, or traditional Chinese floral design. You may be surprised… You can always get Groupon discounts at the stores with these items.
When a client calls me with an order I always ask: "Would you like a traditional design, a contemporary design or an exotic design?" When you call a florist to place an order you might want to ask if they can make a design for you in one of these three catagories. Then make sure to ask them to give you their description of what they will be doing for you. You are spending a great deal of money on something that will not last. Therefore, you should be given assurance by the florist that you will be paying for flowers designed the way you want, that the flowers have been processed appropriately to enhance their longevity. With the new cell phones everyone has it should be no problem for a florist to take a picture and email you the finished design!
Enjoy the flowers! Pipper

Thank you all for your comments! It makes it all worthwhile to know this blog is helpful. So far there has been no negative feedback at all!! The picture on the right was taken by my husband. He is a bird watcher. Among those who spend a good amount of money on optics to view birds there are two definitions. A bird watcher is one who is truly interested in birds as a species. A bird watcher gets into the scientific aspects. This person will watch one bird for hours if necessary to determine as many aspects of the bird as possible and take notes, draw pictures, take pictures. A birder just wants to see the bird, check it off the list and rush on to the next one. My husband comes by this naturally. He started watching birds as a small boy when his dad took him out on the ocean (his dad was Coast Guard.) He majored in wild life management. Hence the bird pics when I post a thank you to everyone.
If there are any questions about anything and you would like a response or a specific blog on a subject relating to flowers please let me know. Another blog which is full of very useful information to moms and dads about children is lifewithgoblins.com. (I think that's how it goes.) It's my daughter's blog and it is excellent!
Enjoy the flowers! Pipper

Swimming upstream….
Time goes by too quickly! First of all, thanks to all of you folks who are taking the time to read this blog. If there are any subjects you would like me to comment on, please let me know.
Well, here goes. (Talk about taking the bull by the horns…) (I've found I truly love cliches! )
I must have a death wish. After reading over my previous essays it looks like I'm swimming upstream against the current. (Yes, I'm a northwesterner.) Thing Salmon… This time is no different. Here goes…
"European designs." Wow! This florist must be very special! People across America see this advertised by their local florist and think, "I'd love to have one of those in my home. My friends are coming over this evening." Or "This should impress my clients!"
Well, think again. There is no such thing as a European design. (Florists across the USA are shooting arrows at me as you read!) Allow me to elucidate.
Around the world, arrangements (designs) are pretty standard – traditional, it you will. Traditional means the design is symetrically balanced. There are more flowers than greens. They can be tall or short and almost flat. It doesn't make any difference where you are: Italy, Hawaii, France, UK…You get the idea.
But! Florists worth their salt, whose creative juices are flowing, go a step further. They will do a more contemporary design. These designs can be symetrical or asymetrical. They can be any size. What distinguishes them from the traditional is the deviation from an over all look where your eye can see everything in one blink.
Instead of seeing a mound of flowers and colors all blending together uniformly, suddenly single flowers jump out at you. You actually see a specific color, a specific texture or shape. You marvel at how an aspidistra leaf (long, flat and wide) has been rolled or curled or stripped or cut into interesting shapes. Grasses take on a life of their own. Branches with lichens or mass add new life to a design.
What's that bright lime green thing curling through it all? Wow! Aluminum wire (comes in all colors) can be manipulated into any shape. What's that peeking around that huge stem? A little bunny rabbit!
Uh huh. The sky's the limit. Anything goes. But it's not just thrown together. Each flower or object creates a balance and adds to the over all aesthetic pleasure of the observer.
The design in the above picture started out with a "pvc" type pipe already cut into inch high pieces, then glued together. The flowers were inserted into flower tubes and then placed in this foundation. A tall vase was inserted into the center which held the main, more heavy flowers. Moss was the last thing to be added all around to soften the look. This arrangement was used in the Seattle Flower and Garden Show this year.
Germany, New Zealand, Austalia, Denmark, to name just a few countries, are producing designers who are truly pushing the envelop in floral design. Some designers are using nothing but branch materials to create incredible sculptured pieces which last forever. When a specimen flower is added you gasp in appreciation. Flowers from all over the world are adding to new looks. Growers are constantly coming up with new colors, new species to add to their inventory.
Go on line and check out some of these designers. Here are a couple to get you started:Gregor Lersch, Andrew Gilfillan, Pascale Coste, just to name a VERY few!!!

ON NOVEMBER 6, California voters will decide the fate of Proposition 3 (the Water Supply and Water Quality Act of 2018), which authorizes the sale of $8.9 billion in new general obligation bonds for water-related infrastructure and environmental projects. This includes funds – most of which would be distributed through grants – for various projects related to water supply, watershed health, flood management, groundwater, facility upgrades and fish and wildlife habitat.
Many are confused about the bond, and numerous organizations have taken positions supporting or opposing it. We at the Pacific Institute, a California-based think-tank focused on water, are taking no formal position on Proposition 3, opting instead to offer the voting public some insights into its complexities.
For context, California has authorized approximately $60 billion (in 2018 dollars) in water-related bonds since 1960. If passed, Prop. 3 would be the fourth-largest water bond in California history. Further, the combination of Prop. 68 (approved by voters in June 2018) and Prop. 3 would make 2018 the second-highest funding year for water-related bonds in the state's history. The largest authorization was in 1960, when California voters approved construction of the State Water Project.

One weekend per semester, students in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program come to Saint Mary's campus for an intensive immersion weekend as part of their nursing curriculum. The immersion weekends are opportunities for students and faculty to engage in face-to-face interactions in a traditional classroom setting. These weekend immersions are full of scholarly activities: students present research and practicum projects, guest lecturers share their expertise on various medical subjects, and students receive specific medial training, like suture instruction or attending a dermatology classroom clinic.
Hear from current students about how they have gotten to know their cohorts and professors through immersion weekends and online learning:

Have you ever heard of Geocaching? Although it's been around for a few years, the recent boom in affordable GPS units from companies like Garmin means that it's a hobby that's more common than ever – and it's a great way to mix fitness with hiking!
Geocaching is outdoor treasure hunting plus the "pay it forward" concept. A friend of mine was telling me that he was introduced to the game and now is completely addicted. You essentially get coordinates of a hidden treasure. When you find it, the treasure could be anything from a $100 bill or a baseball card. After you find the treasure, the proper etiquette is to replace the treasure with something else you deem valuable.
Has anyone tried this? What's the coolest thing you've ever found?

An FBI agent has reportedly been arrested in Pakistan after trying bring 9mm bullets onto a flight from Karachi to Islamabad.
Pakistani media reported that the American was taken before a judicial magistrate in Karachi on Tuesday where a judge ordered him to be until May 10.
The incident threatens to put further strain on the already frayed ties between the US and Pakistan, where there is deep anger over American drone strikes.
The FBI agent was on temporary duty in Pakistan and is normally assigned to the bureau's office in Miami, according to the Washington Post.
It is not clear what the agent was doing in Pakistan although the FBI has dozens of offices based out of US embassies and consulates around the world.
The agent was reportedly arrested by security trying to board Pakistan International Airlines flight PK-308.
Relations between US and Pakistan deteriorated sharply after Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor, shot dead two Pakistani men in Lahore in 2011.
The killings led to widespread protests across the country and Mr David was charged with murder. He was released after the Pakistani government paid more than $2 million in "blood money" to the two men's families.

Halitosis ( Bad Breath ) is not a hereditary characteristic. It is something that can be presented at any age and for various reasons. Research has shown that bad breath is caused, up to a percentage from 85 to 90 % , by problems in the oral cavity, and in the health of the gums and the teeth. Moreover a persistent bad breath can be the reason for several other illnesses such as respiratory infection , lung and liver infection and also infection in the digestive system.
In all the previously mentioned health problems the cause is the presence of bacteria which produce air substances that are emitted though the mouth.
|The presence of extensive cracks on the tongue surface
|Thorough cleaning of the tongue's surface
|Poor oral hygiene and problems in the oral cavity
|The restoration of the health of the oral cavity.The maintenance of the oral cavity's health
|Eating habits
|A healthy diet should be adopted
|Xerostomia ( dry mouth )
|Cure of the reasons causing it.
|Chronic illnesses and Respiratory diseases
|Follow a treatment given by a specialised doctor
|Maintaining good oral hygiene
One way to understand that you suffer from halitosis ( bad breath ) is to be informed by one of your friends. Another way is to put your hand in front of your mouth and to smell your breath. Nowadays, due to the evolution in technology we can have precise data on halitosis with the use of some devices which register the sulphur gases ‹ Halimeter Interrscan Co, Chatsworth,CA › which are directly related to halitosis ( bad breath )

Our Annual Ride to Littlehampton
Our ride to Littlehampton has become an annual event having cycled it for the past three years, in 2012, 2013 and 2014. On Tuesday (16 June) we cycled it for the fourth time and as usual, the weather was kind to us being dry and sunny with only a slight breeze.
Most of the route is virtually flat with much of it being along promenades and the like so it makes for easy cycling. Just as well as the total distance is 75 miles so it's our longest touring ride of the year although I'm considering a century touring ride this summer.
Every year the route improves. Last year we were able to cycle along Seaford promenade (in previous years cycling hadn't been allowed along it) and we crossed a new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists at Shoreham. This year we cycled on the superb new 'shared use' path between Newhaven and Peacehaven alongside the A259 which has a smooth tarmac surface; ideal for cycling on. Well done to Andy Lock and others in Cycle Seahaven who have campaigned for this path to be built.
Our route to Littlehampton follows National Cycle Route 2 except through Newhaven where we go via Elphick Road, Valley Rd, Brazen Close and The Fairway. This nicely joins the new 'shared-use' path alongside the A259. It's far easier than following NCN Route 2 up Gibbon Rd and along the gravel and pot-holed track called The Hwy.
Six of us started the ride at the Martello Tower in Seaford with two more joining us at The Peace Statue in Hove. It was interesting to see the building work starting on the i360 Tower close to the West Pier. It should be an amazing sight when finished.
It wasn't long before we reached Worthing where we had a café stop than on to Littlehampton where we crossed over the River Arun to the Climping side to have lunch at the West Beach Café.
Our return trip was back along the same route with an ice cream stop at Lancing. It had been a very enjoyable ride and no doubt we'll be doing it again next year.
Our touring ride next Tuesday will be to Hastings.

I recently ran across an article from France written about my erotic figures. They were talking about how I put these small figurines into a common situation, through props and backrounds. It is the second such article about plastic figures in different situations written about my art, by different people in a 2 week span of time. I suppose I could shoot them just sitting on the shelf, but to me that is not really what this is about. I see my art as an excerise in small erotic, usually mundane stories, that tend to leave the viewer wondering, WTF, or smiling, or just staring catatonically!!
My work is a constant figment of how I feel, and about how I look at things in erotic figure art. This type of thing is not for everyone. Having said that, it is quite popular, so it must be for someone, as I create and sell about 300 of these per year. A girl wrote with photos recently, and asked if I could put her and her friend into a figurine set. Using a stock set that I had used before, I hacked off the head, body, and arms, and recreated another in her likeness, and stuck it on the standard figure piece. You will not usually find my work to look like dolls, or beauty queens, simply because most of them depict real everyday common people.
Seeing as it is getting close to autumn I put these girls into a simple late summer situation. As usual these are very sexually graphic. If you are offended by this, please do not go here! Otherwise as usual you will find this either erotic, stupid, bizarre, funny, or just WTF. http://www.gonzosmodelcarsandfigures.net/boxlunch.html Remember you must be an adult to view some of these pages!

The Architect's Studio: Mr Rafael de Cárdenas

The intrepid architect gives us a tour of his workspace (and tries on the new Santos de Cartier) .
Mr Rafael de Cárdenas and his firm, Architecture at Large, inhabit a Downtown Manhattan office building of no-joke pedigree. Erected in the 1890s by the Gilded Age titans at McKim, Mead & White, it's a nine-storey Beaux-Arts beauty, crowned with an ornate copper cornice that's gone fully green with age.
"I like this building a lot," Mr de Cárdenas says. But he'd like to know more about it, and so, there at the ovular marble table in his office, he flips open his laptop and begins reading aloud from Wikipedia. "Wholesale dry-goods district, round ornamental opening…" He then goes off on a tangent to look up acanthus – a variety of flowering plant common across the Mediterranean and tropical Asia — and then improvises some thoughts on New York's turn-of-the-century transition from cable cars to its current subway system.
Such information gathering (and riffing) is typical of Mr de Cárdenas, a cultural omnivore who worked in fashion and production design before switching to architecture and launching his firm in 2006. In conversation, he digresses easily – but intriguingly. Soon, he's embarked on a tale of a trip to Chiapas, Mexico, and the fascination he developed there for a local Zapatista folk hero.
Characters and scenarios like these rattle around his brain, ready to be summoned as the design moment demands. This is perhaps why Mr de Cárdenas is known less for a signature style and more as a conjurer of mini-worlds. What he produces – for clients including Ford Models, Baccarat and Manhattan's revamped Asia de Cuba restaurant – is a version of luxury, albeit one with cinematically suggestive undertones and the occasional club-kid flourish. His Mayfair boutique for jeweller Ms Delfina Delettrez is populated with modernist Italian furniture and disembodied hands and wrapped in faux-malachite green leather. His early pop-up shops (for the likes of Nike and the niche streetwear brand aNYthing) made a splash with dazzle-camo patterns and webs of fluorescent tape, while the warm metallics and advanced geometry of his more recent retail and residential work retain a subversive edge.
The inspirations for his designs reveal themselves "always obliquely, with a gleeful side-eye, and never the same for two projects," curator and writer Mr Jesse Seegers notes in the book that Mr de Cárdenas published with Rizzoli last year. Though he studied at UCLA and the Rhode Island School of Design, Mr de Cárdenas, 43, is an unapologetic product of his native Manhattan — specifically, of the 1990s Downtown scene and its hedonistic 1980s shadow.
This world – a racy, bygone era of creative intermingling – isn't really on display in his office. Part of it, however, is stored away in a chest of drawers that he keeps in the casual, sunlit room reserved for meetings and brainstorms: old copies of Interview and Details, as well as Google-proof obscurities with names such as Wet, Eau de Cologne and The Picture Newspaper.
Big-name art – by Ms Vanessa Beecroft, for one – shares space with more outsiders, such as a pair of superhero figurines emerging from spent aerosol containers and a ouija board made from a Ms Whitney Houston album cover. From his shoebox-sized private office, Mr de Cárdenas can gaze out his demilune window and straight at "The Wall", a minimalist blue mural occupying prime billboard real estate and a central position in the eternal New York battle between art and commerce. Six stories below, on the street that separates NoHo from SoHo, the yellow cabs queue up. Firetruck sirens wail. Mr de Cárdenas eats up the view, but admits that the noise quality here is not a selling point. But he's got Mses Britney Spears and Donna Summer tunes for that.
His personal style is casual and understated. "I don't own a tie and I wear sneakers most of the time," he says. "That probably limits the kind of clientele that I might have at certain points, but I'm doing OK." Mr de Cárdenas gravitates towards workmanlike and well-crafted Japanese clothes, and not only because the sizing suits him. For this particular shoot, though, he's trying out something new: the all-steel, 39.8mm iteration of the 2018 Santos de Cartier watch (available exclusively as of today on MR PORTER).
In fact, Mr de Cárdenas' relationship with the brand runs a little deeper than that. This week, Mr de Cárdenas will be speaking at The Cartier Social Lab, a three-day, symposium-style event in San Francisco, during which a series of creatives – including Messrs Yves Béhar, Ma Yansong and Daniel de la Falaise – will be gathering to discuss daring and innovation, in the spirit of Mr Santos-Dumont, the air-travel pioneer who first commissioned the Santos watch. Aware that not everyone will be able to make this particular get-together, we at MR PORTER thought it as good a time as any to ask Mr de Cárdenas some of our own questions. Scroll down to discover his thoughts on design, working life, inspiration and, yes, his rather enviable collection of 1980s magazines.
This week, you're talking about "intrepid design" in San Francisco at a symposium organised by Cartier. What does that term mean to you? Not caring too much about what other people think?
You're always concerned about what people think; it's a lie to think that you don't do things in order to have some respect. I mean, sometimes I just want to do projects that make money and be able to go home at six o'clock. And then I get roped into something and realise that I do care, a lot. But my clients are actually in many respects the ones that are taking risk. My relationship with them – my life and job! – would probably go smoother if I didn't want every new project to be an opportunity to do something I've never done before.
Tell me about your collection of vintage magazines, and how they relate to your work.
There may not be a direct design reference there, but it's still important. They also operate as something like a talisman to me. It was in the 1980s that I became aware that most people didn't dress weird and have these interesting Downtown lives. So anything that was "niche" in that time, 1980 to 1985, is very alluring to me. Very sexy. I want it, crave it, and want to know all the details.
You also have a lot of plants, I see.
They all come from the same mother, which is at my apartment in Brooklyn. I have a weird attachment to my plants. I feel like if they aren't doing well, my business isn't doing well.

Is there an actual correlation there, or just an emotional link?
It's probably a little bit of both. I like mercury in retrograde, the idea that the movements of planets could affect my life. Does it actually, really? No. But do I want to live in a world where magic exists – yes! One hundred percent. Aren't certain emotions magic? I just can't believe when people don't want to live in a world like that.
What's one thing you consider essential for a workspace?
Music is important. The level of performance and excitement that is happening in a studio is very reflective of the music that's playing. I've been listening to this station that's just soft rock from the 1970s and 1980s. They're not that great, but after time, they sound great. And then in the afternoon when you need a boost, we have a little Britney , a little Kesha, some gay iconography.
Do you like being in this part of town?
I'm in the neighbourhood that I wanted to live and work in my whole life. Mapplethorpe lived a couple blocks away. I remember coming to SoHo and NoHo in the 1980s – people dressed kind of weird, there were artists, the architecture was different. I liked the energy. I liked people break-dancing in the street. But NoHo is not at all what it was then.
What happened?
New York has become a showcase for wealth, like any other city in America. I'm sure there's a nice way to say this. Rich people don't make cool shit. They don't write music. They don't make art. Anything that they do, I don't wanna buy. So you need the discriminating intellectual eye of someone like the de Menils, who did not make those things themselves but recognised it, wanted to surround themselves with it, and kind of created this universe. I guess there's less and less of that kind of person now.
You've worked with Cartier on several projects. What's that been like?
Cartier are risk-takers, I think. It's in their heritage. And I'm not just saying that. There's this exoticism and wildness – the Panthère – but always keeping it really elevated. And there's a lot of creative freedom in working with them. They're excited about things that some brands might consider polarising.
What's your favourite project with them?
The most exciting one for me was in Tokyo. We found this Tadao Ando house in the suburbs, took all the furniture out, and brought in this mythological story of the Cartier man. It was a perfect fit for the sophisticated Japanese market. I don't know if it would have been the same in America or Europe. I think "things" means something different there. Consumerism is, like, a cultural activity in Japan.
What is it for you?
I like things, a lot. I'm also a consumer. I like acquiring things that represent the life that I want, maybe not necessarily the one that I lead. I kind of don't live in my house very often anymore – I go to the office and I travel six months out of the year for work – so the most I'm ever in New York is two weeks at a time. But I feel lucky to have the things that I have. I'll be at home watching TV and look around and be like, "Everything in here is my fantasy".

British (Opposing Fronts Only)
-=The Early Game=--
I'm an HQ rusher. As such, There are a few things I do. I used to be extremely aggressive about this. I've cut back a little. Most often, I park my truck NEAR the high points, and move them later when I've secured them, or I settle for something smaller, and move into a higher point when I bring in my other trucks. I'm patient.
Your enemy will rush you. Don't pretend they won't. PE will come with G43's, Wehr will come with MG's and snipers. Sometimes bikes. You need to be ready. To be the most prepared, SPREAD OUT YOUR FORCES. Brits move slow. Before you move your truck, always build support forces. Most games, you'll want Tommies. This is because you must be capping. At all times. Queue up capping order, and just keep an eye on them in the map. They'll do their business. Do the same for the Recon squad, once your HQ is set up. Just walk away. MG's, snipers, and bikes won't hurt your HQ - don't babysit it. They can't hurt you, don't waste your men. Map control is key, and that site won't be able to be uncapped with a big truck sitting there glaring at the MGs drawing pictures in the dirt.
It's very important to always be capping. Most of what your enemy will throw at you won't be as mobile as you are. But some of it will be. If you face someone who is mobile, pull back. Except a single bike. Turn around, shoot back. They're flimsy, moreso than your men. You can take down a bike with the loss of one man. Do it. It hurts them more than it hurts you. You'll at least scare it away. Tommies have balls, don't sell them short.
As soon as you're set down, and probably before you move, you can build an LT. Do it. Either before or after is fine, but remember, your whole tech tree, and your Tommies depend on that guy. If you think that your enemy isn't coming for your target base, do it at home. Cap. It's important. Just remember that if he comes out under fire, he's most likely going to die. Do what you can to get him out.
When you get to your new base, set up, you should be able to build more Tommies. Because you didn't build a rocket truck. You shouldn't have to. Manpower is more important than fuel or munitions, don't worry about it. Shortly after you're set up, you'll have three Tommie squads and a LT spread all across the map. KEEP THE LT NEAR A TOMMIE SQUAD. If he dies, you may as well punch yourself in the face. It was dumb. Don't blame your enemy, you can keep him alive. Don't lose him. It's dumb. If you get this tommy squad caught at your base under HMG/Sniper fire, you can call your other units back. You have three Tommie squads. Push forward, take the stuff out. Then IMMEDIATELY get back to capping. An HMG can't hold off three squads, only two. Punch yourself in the face again if you've already lost your LT. Watch your resources and make sure the support truck is on the way as soon as possible if this happens. Your men need to be out capping. This is when you're hard to beat back, and when you'll set the tone for the game.
Pios can't put up much of a fight, scare them off. MGs will arrive where they were. Walk away, cap something else. Don't wait for it to arrive, just disappear. Go for strategic points, they're quick to cap, and great for cutting off additional resources. Don't skimp. If you end up facing an enemy, and can finish capping a point, or uncapping, do it. It's annoying. That's called harassment.
Sometimes, you'll be forced to retreat a squad. If you do that, your enemy has that squad killed. They probably have an MG, a bike, G43's, a sniper, etc. waiting there. So retreat everything. Your Tommies can handle mostly anything they'll camp you with. Let loose the marksman, drop the MG from shooting immediately. Focus fire on the bike, kill it or scare it away. It takes a matter of seconds. Press retreat, go after the MG again. The sniper kills one person about as fast as you reinforce. It's annoying, but not deadly. Clean it up, and get back to capping ASAP.
By the time you start really hitting your enemy's forces, You can call in the field support truck. If the enemy still has an MG/bike/sniper at your base, retreat everyone at once, and build a Tommie squad. Kick him on home. Most will have left, it's not worth the trouble. If they haven't, they've wasted nearly 600 MP, while you've been capping the map.
Some of your enemies will throw Volks or Piospam at you. Gather up, beat them back. They suck. If they have flamers, focus fire. It's not a problem. If they DO become a problem, get a BC and get the MMG on it. Keep it behind your Tommies, fight them away from the HQ. They'll suppress, crawl around, and run away. If they do this, you should already be building your Field support truck. They're still in mid-early game. Spamming like this is scary, but not very effective unless you let it be. Brens handle most infantry with deadly efficiency. Press stop, and watch the green +2's get you closer to fun fancy fireworks (FFF). Keep the flames away from your trucks.
-=The Mid Game=-
When your Field Support Truck shows up, put it on something back near your base. Diversify. If you have your HQ on a fuel point, put the Field Support on a munitions point. Yes, you do need them. In fact, mid-game is when you'll be spending most munitions. Don't wait for it to happen, expect it.
If you're sitting either truck on a high or medium point, choose one to Secure. Normally, I choose munitions. I'll explain this later. At this point, you really have one of three tactics you can go with. You know your enemy will be coming at you with fun new tricks soon, so don't wait for them. Your options are:
Fun Fancy Fireworks. This consists of Commandos and Churchills, and really is quite powerful. For a little while.
It gives you a short-term advantage, only get these if you really need steroids in your forces,and you're being pushed hard. Otherwise, choose another option. The Brits are powerful, don't forget that. Stick to your tech tree, and keep moving. A single squad of Commandos will not turn the tide, but a squad of Commandos later with tanks behind them can ruin Axis plans.
2. Stuarts!
Ah, the Stuart. A funny-looking, fast little tank. It dies fast, it moves fast, it builds fast. In fact, it's just fast. It doesn't have a lot of armor, but it's perfect for circle-strafing an enemy vehicle. It counters the Puma, AC, SC...simply because you can bring it in out of nowhere, scare them away, and back away. But you need a captain. Most of the time, if I have a medium munitions point, this is the direction I go.
Most of your enemy's counters will consist of something armored, and fast. A Stuart can overcome that. However, they also consist of PaKs. So, don't drive straight at it. A Stuart is fast, a few more seconds can't really hurt you too much. Drive the long way around. Those PaKs will be in the back. Find them. Shoot them. When they turn to face you, rush the armor from behind. Drive by, drive out. Do it again. Stuarts are for skirmishing. Hit, run, come back for more. You shouldn't take more than a hit, or, at max, two. Remember, three will kill it. That means you're in and gone, before any one thing can fire at you twice. Because there will always be two things shooting at it at this stage.
Hold their infantry still with your infantry. Get Brens. Maybe a squad of rifles, if they insist on hiding in buildings. If they KEEP doing it, get two with rifle grenades. They do enough to be worth it. Brens hold back blobs, rifle grenades clear houses. Recon saves your ass. Don't lose them. You only need one, but pamper them. They kill snipers, cap points, and act as the vanguard. They're the ones who will save your Stuart from a PaK at the last moment. Or your Lt. from Sniper. The marksman ALWAYS kills the gunner on a crew weapon. Use it. Save yourself some money. Normally, if you keep this up, you can push them a little closer to their base. This is nice. This is very nice. If you can, lock down a single entrance to their base. If you can't, don't hunker down and build emplacements. You're probably holding two VPs right now. Cut off the third. It's not too important, but don't leave it alone. Whittle away.
Get a armored command truck as soon as you feel comfortable. That means, when you're considering doing something concerning FFF's. Don't. Get the Armored Command, and Sappers. Get over-repair.
3. Sappers
Sappers aren't combat troops. They're support troops. If you're facing a lot of early light vehicles, or have pumas chasing you everywhere, get them. Especially if you have a high-munitions point.
Wait, MUNITIONS? Yes. Because your enemy is mobile. They depend on that to survive. What stops that, is mines. Two mines normally get one. Sometimes, it takes three. Set them up in groups of two on roads very close to your HQ. Your Tommies can finish the job, so let them. Hang out, wait for the first one to hit, finish it. Your enemy will become strangely less aggressive Surprise surprise. Time to cap. Force the enemy to slow down, and consider what he's doing. Then, build a captain, and kick right up to armored command truck after only a single Stuart. Hide the Stuart. Canister Shot WILL save you from death. It's only a matter of time.
If you have the Armored Command Truck building, and have secured a side of their base, then, and only then, should you start building up emplacements. Point them at it, make sure you have the mightiest of emplacements also ready to fire on their base. No, not the 25 or the 17. The 3" Mortar. Whittle away at the base. You only need one of these, but they'll make everything easier. You don't know how much until you use it. If you can't do this, don't sweat it. It's optional. It's a VP game, after all.
-=The Late Game=-
Again, a few options. You're a brit. Your enemy will have MTHT's, Stukas, Nebels, or Hummels. Expect it. They will try to force you to arty-spam. Don't fall for it unless you're RCA. If you are, do it better than they do. That means, don't aim at their arty, aim at something that hurts. If you have arty up at all at this point. You can control the map with your army, so, why not?
1. FFF Returns!
This time, I'll let you do it. You have enough fancy gimmicks that you can now support them. Tetrarchs, Churchills, Priests, Commandos. These things will give your army flavor.
Oh, wait, did I say that right? FLAVOR. They should never be your army. Your army is what you have been building up until now. Tommies, Stuarts, sappers with PIATs (YES, they're useful! Especially against Hetzers and Jagd). At this point, you have the Armored Command truck. FFF supports the following two tactics, it does not REPLACE them. Keep that in mind.
Oh, if you're using a Priest, move them. Keep them back, move them again. Hate facing Walking Stukas? See how hard it is for an enemy to find and destroy a walking priest. And remember, there's nothing more devastating that a properly placed arty doctrine. Creeping Barrage is the key to disrupting your enemy's plans, and Overwatch is a deterrent. Let it fire once or twice, let them know it's there, and then move it. Hurt them, and change. Your army is diverse - use it like the shapeshifter it is.
2. Cromwells, reporting!
Cromwells are fast, rather sturdy, and surprisingly good against infantry. But they're long-range tanks. Use them like it, unless you're facing something better in that arena. Don't engage Marders like this, but remember you've got the most mobile tank ever. Just walk away if you're in trouble. Bring a command tank, for additional amusement. They're not an army. Arty supports your army. Armor supports your infantry. Specialist infantry (Sappers) support your tanks and base infantry. Your base infantry will do most of the work.
3. Ready to give jerry the business!
Ahh, the Firefly. An amazing tank. It's on the chassis of a medium tank. Remember that. It just has a big gun. Treat it like a sniper with treads. It can fire further than it can see, easily. You have to have a command tank - use it. A Firefly is a mobile 17, so don't get up close, it won't last. Don't attack infantry, it won't work. Buff out your Bren teams, and keep them safe. They're not very fast, they're a glass-cannon unit. If possible, use them in a group of three, well behind your forces. Three good hits will destroy or devastate even the heaviest tanks. If you feel like even that's not enough, try four or five. But in truth, this is overkill, especially with a vetted Command Tank.
4. Oh noes, I didn't give tactics for this stage!
Alright. When it comes to late-game, they've thrown most things at you. Most forces are pretty-well prepared, pretty-well thought out. They're on to you, by now. They know it's going to be a knock-down fight, but if you've been doing well, and you kept the jump on them, you've got a few mines places, possibly even still controlling most of the map, then you're in a good position. You have every counter available. But I'm going to tell you a few things that you don't like to hear.
The Stuart is your friend. It will save you. Canister shot is your enemy's worst nightmare. Especially blobs, or large groups of Schrek infantry rushing your tanks. One or two Stuarts will terrorize the enemy. They're fast, light, and deadly to any infantry caught out in the open. If your Brens don't do the trick, these will. They can get anywhere, including your HQs, before most heavy armor can. They're cheap, so they're easily replaced, and they get bonuses from the command tank, and help it gain vet. Don't skimp. If you need to sacrifice one or both to get a PaK, or to knock down a large blob, do it. Canister shot does not have friendly fire, murder enemy infantry. Stuarts never go out of style. They can chase down enemy light vehicles and Stukas easily. Go around the sides, again.
Bren Carriers. They're still useful. They're rolling machine guns. Use them to suppress, in addition to Brens, they're a cheap, easy way to ruin infantry's day. If you don't want the MMG, keep them with your infantry, and put officers on top of them. It's worth the effort. Fireflies aren't the answer to everything. In fact, against most anti-tank vehicles, they're rather vulnerable. Marders cause trouble, fast enemy vehicles cause trouble, mostly everything can destroy them. Keep a few Cromwells, one or two, for running the gauntlet. Enemy Marders are vicious, but rather vulnerable. Take them like drunken sluts.
Arty - It SUPPORTS your forces. Use it to distract, to hurt, and to disrupt. Not to kill. One good creeping barrage is better than ten poorly aimed barrages. Hit where you know they'll be. If you roll your Stuart up, and their infantry flees, barrage their HQ. If you see the KT backing away, send a creeping up the road. Use it intelligently. If they have a line of defenses, use a creeping along them. Smash buildings they garrison as HQs. Use smoke to cover your Cromwells and Stuarts in a rush. Just remember. All the abilities have a use. If you can afford it, do it. It may just surprise you.
Lastly, don't fear the Stuka. It's annoying. It can destroy infantry. But it won't kill you. The enemy ARMY will. Don't do something stupid to go after a single Stuka that's annoying, make sure you pick your battles. Keep moving.
Again, your army is a shapeshifter. Be creative. If you need a screwdriver, make one. If you need a sledge, you're equally capable.
Go to town, boys.
-=The Doctrines=-
RCA - I'm not going to say I'm the best at how to use doctrines. In fact, if you noticed, I rarely do. What I do instead is use the standard forces, leave most of the bells and whistles behind, and get abilities. This means RCA. Longer range arty almost for free, and the ability to do many fancy gimmicks with what you've got. Great. Better still is the priest. Walk it like a Stuka, obviously. It's a good tactic, use it. The Priest can do it. Not as well, but it can. And it can do it far more effectively. Make them regret forcing you to go that far down your doctrine tree.
A few arty tricks I know:
Creeping barrage - Use it on the roads, man! If your enemy is attacking along a road, blow it. Start it slightly in front of your enemy forces, preferably on a tree (it conceals the smoke drop) and run it back along the road. Most people don't recognize a creeping barrage when they first see it. If they start to, then start it in the enemy group, or even slightly behind it. Always point it back toward their HQ. Never waste your munitions firing on something you don't intend to immediately follow up and attack, or aren't fighting. Don't fire back at Stukas, you idiot. You won't hit them. Aim at the Stuka's defenders, and run down the Stuka with Stuarts. It's more fun that way anyway. If you know where an enemy's line is, then creep across that. From both directions, if you can. Then run the gap with tanks, and follow up with your infantry. Push through with Stuarts so that they lose most of their cover and you can see all the remaining AT guns. Support your infantry with Croms, and follow up with FF's if you have it all. Push to the base, and have your Recon guys cap behind you. This lets you put the mighty 3" outside their base. Don't strike right away, starve your enemy. Mine the reinforcement road. Rebuild your forces before the ending stroke.
Overwatch - Very defensive, so I don't use it much. It also cuts out your mobility. But it's great if you can pull it in on a place where a heavyweight fight is just warming up, and your enemy is hunkering down in some heavy cover. It will shred him. Let it fire two or three times, then turn it off and move your priest. Make sure the thing stays mobile, or it will be killed. Can also be used to 'dissuade' attacks on a VP.
Officer Arty - Use it like a creeping barrage. Support your forces. If they start to flank you, call it in on the flank. Your infantry can win most straight-up fights, so don't sweat it. Just keep it even, and keep it honest, and you can carry the day. Use it against early tanks as well, or the infantry that group around them. Axis players treasure their tanks, they'll move that before the enemy infantry, so this can devastate an attack group, and leave you with only a single threat to face.
Counter-Arty - Use this if your enemy likes to fireH ummels from his base. Set up a 25, point it out that way, and let it do it's thing. It's funny how long it takes your enemy to realize that he can't shoot back, and that he is ruining his own base firing from there. Other than Hummels, it also works on Nebels. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort. Stukas will walk away, unless they're in a group greater than three.
RSE - Okay, I'm less sure on this one. If someone wants to throw a few ideas out here, I'm game. Mostly, I use these tanks to support my infantry group. This lets me take the few sappers I have out of combat. It slows me down, though, so normally the only time I really use them is for the final punch into an enemy base. Only if I really think I'm winning to I run with these. I'll let someone else go into specifics.
Commandos - Honesty here. I hate them. They annoy me. They're tough, they're fast, they do a lot of damage, but they slow my teching to a crawl. I want to meet the first StuG with a firefly and I've done it before. Don't sell yourself short and believe that you need these guys. You don't. They're elites, not the army. Use them when you need to, not when you can. Your Tommies can do most of the work, let them do it. The commandos should support them. Other people can give you more ideas.
-=Favorite Enemy Counters=-
MG Rush - As said earlier, keep away from your HQ. They'll be too happy to have the thing firing on your HQ to realize they're not doing anything. When you have three squads, gather up, kill it or force it to displace. It's a quick and dirty solution to the Brit HQ rush, but it won't work if you know what you're doing.
Piospam - Counter with Brens. These guys normally come with flamethrowers, but don't let that dissuade you. As you saw, I don't use trenches. These guys aren't that bad. When you first see the mob, retreat. Then, set up and use your range to your advantage. Fire on them at a distance, preferably with brens among your Tommies. BC's with MMGs can help, if you're already teching up well, but mostly, this will come to soon. A Stuart means this strat is worthless.
Volkspam - Countered much the same way as Ppiospam, but it can actually harm a stuart. Get a few Brens among your Tommies, build another tommy squad, and plop down a CCS near where you WANT to face your enemy. Then, skirmish and play with him until you've got him used to fighting in that area. Let the Bren do it's thing. First squad you get for free, build a mortar in range of their medic bunker. Continue to dismember volks, and clear the bunker. In the background, keep teching.
AC/SC Rush - Sappers, mines, and PIATs. If it simply does not stop, despite this, just build a Bofors. You should have this level of tech by the time you see these. If you don't, Tommies with the Bren upgrade will do. They'll take hits against AC's and Pumas, but they're strong enough to break it down and win if you've got heavy cover.
Fast Tank - Your foe bringing out a fast tank is best countered with Tommies with Brens and a Stuart or sappers with PIATs, depending on what you have seen before this point. Sometimes, you can even have a Cromwell. First Cromwell you get should never be thrown into the mix unless you absolutely need it. They work best in pairs, where they can bracket enemy tanks or leapfrog against enemy infantry.
Heavy Push - By this time, you better have sappers, stuarts, and croms. This faces things like the Pantherstorm, or Panther Battlegroups supported by Jagd/KTs. If you have FF's, these will turn the tide. Rush up clsoe with infantry, button your enemy, call in any arty you've got, and make sure the FF's are firing at max range. Circle your enemy with croms on flank. Mobility mobility mobility. Make sure they pay for being so arrogant.
Shrecked Storms - The standard brit counter. Expect to see this a lot. Against me, it tends to be pretty worthless. Tommies with Brens, Stuarts, and most especially, MINES will ruin their day. If your enemy starts to use this a lot, set up wire with mines, try to congest the map, and spread out your forces. Make sure your Captain is near your trucks, and gather them together. If you can't keep them all near, get the Field Support and the Armor command near each other. Make sure you can retreat anywhere they may decide to hit you. Set up a Bofors near where your priests (if you have them) operate, and call it a day.
MTHT - This one is tough. There is no good counter for it. Stuarts work best, mines can work, but those are all T2 counters. The BC with an MMG and piercing rounds can do it, but if they support it, you're not going to catch it and finish it. Best you can do is scare it away for a while, and force your enemy to spend a lot protecting it. Be aggressive, and as soon as you can chase it with a Stuart, or immobilize it, exterminate the bastard with extreme prejudice.
Inf HT rush - Tommies with Brens. Unlike the Wehr MG, this can skirmish with you. Spread out, move about, cap, but as soon as you have three Tommie squads, then gather up, find it, and exterminate it. Remember to button. If they bring out a second, either before or after you do this, then just laugh. It won't harm you very much. Three squads of Tommies can devastate two Inf HT's. They won't get a third until much later, and they've slowed their tech quite a bit. If the PE infantry tries to repair it, target them. It's shooting ducks in a barrel. Just keep switching targets, try to stay in cover, and you will persevere.
The Mighty Ketten - The bane of my strategy. Chase it with a BC if you have to, but make sure it dies. And make sure it doesn't come back. It will force you to spend far more time capping than you can afford to. It must die. Find it. Surround it. Kill it. Of everything PE has, this is the most likely to ruin your day.
Hetzer rush - Sappers with PIATs. When you face PE, make sure that you get a squad of these bums quickly, in the event you may face this. Ambush them near your HQ, and let them sit. Or place mines and then set them in ambush. If you get a Stuart out and haven't seen a hetzer, add them to your infantry group and hunt those annoying HT's. They're everywhere by now.
PIV IST - If you don't have a Stuart, this will hurt. Probably kill you. This is the reason you're fast-teching, in truth. This it the one thing that can truly devastate you. Hit it with officer arty when it sets up, hit it with PIATs, give it everything you've got. Most likely, though, you need to take it out with Stuarts or Croms. Plant mines on approaches to give yourself a little time if you've got the munitions before you see one. To be honest, this is one of the most devastating tanks that can be fielded against you.
Those are the main counters I've seen, and what I do to avoid them. As you can see, there are some which are more effective than others. Do what you can. If I think of anything else, I'll add it on later. But I wanted to get this out there, because, quite frankly, I've never seen anyone else play brits quite along these lines. At least, not with RCA

What does it take to create the relationship you really want?
No matter how we go about it, we don't seem to select our partners rationally. We might have a list of all the things we're looking for, but it's often the feeling of 'chemistry' that overpowers any rational intent we have. We're open to creating a relationship, and before we know it — when we're ready — we find ourselves in a relationship.
And then beyond the power of our initial attraction, issues inevitably surface, and our personalities take over the interaction.
Yes — I am making a distinction here. You are not your personality.
How you show up in life, and especially in intimate relationships, has a lot to do with everything you have learned in your life to create security, to make the world understandable, and to manage interactions with other people. These behaviors, mechanisms, interpretations, and stories keep you safe and (hopefully) generally guide you to get what you want.
And this 'survival mechanism' is damn good at its job. It's got you to where you are in your life today, right now. It's probably telling you a lot about what these words mean and is relating them to your own past experience and the feelings that are associated with them. It is the lens through which you see the world — it filters your stories, your feelings, your experiences.
So what happens when 'personalities' — these 'survival mechanisms' meet?
In the initial stages of relationships, the intensity can, temporarily at least, throw the personality off, and make available a direct experience of the other. For a while, fear — which drives your survival mechanism — is put to one side. The intense 'rush' is worth it. When you fall in love — fear seems to take a hike.
And then the personality re-establishes itself and the protective suits of 'survival' armour we wear start to interact and bump into each other. With good will, these 'bumps' can be negotiated with compromises or agreements — tools that couples use to ensure that their suits of armour can remain largely intact, and by and large, glide smoothly past each other. It's healthy stage of relationship, but it's not all that's available.
And of course it's possible that over time, the clashes between the suits of armour become too painful, thickening them until the connection that was at the core of the relationship is unavailable, and the relationship breaks.
There is another way that things can go, and I think that everyone has the intuition that something more is possible beyond relating and 'negotiating' between personalities. What if the suit of armour could be taken off? What kind of relationship would be possible? Imagine how it would be for you to feel like when you first 'fell in love' in the later stages of your relationship.
Beneath the personality there is a richness of being that is way beyond the personality. It is there and it is available.
Here is the catch: there is work to do, and it is all about you.
You cannot take off another person's suit of armour. The journey is one of unilateral disarmament. It is a journey a couple can make together, or you can make alone. From your undefended 'essence,' not only is your experience of life richer, but your experience of your partner and your relationships can go deeper than you imagined possible. The survival mechanism, while sometimes useful, does not have to run the show.
The reward of taking this journey is to experience life and relationships more intimately, deeply, with a richer and more satisfying connection than you could have imagined possible.
It is the journey of a lifetime.
It changes everything.
And it is yours if you are willing.

It is made of 925 fine silver made by hand in my workshop, and a beautiful green aventurine. Small green and blue amazonite have been added on the chain.
This necklace is a custom order made in parallel with the Marquise necklace. In fact, the client wished to make this jewel similar to hers for her daughter.
The design is very similar to Marquise except that the semi-precious stone aventurine is no longer drop shaped, but round. The pendant also represents a stylized butterfly with wings on each side of the stone, with half-sphere decoration. It also shows pompoms made of silver chain with amazonites.
To stay in the same spirit of Renaissance noble, I chose to name this Viscountess necklace. So I imagine a mother and daughter circulating in large areas of Versailles, participating in the festivities of the court, with their similar butterfly necklace.
This necklace measures about 42 cm long.
I oxidized it in a natural way and then shined the details up. The antique effect gives a very nice touch to this bracelet. I brushed the metal to add an even more vintage aspect.
Please allow 2 to 5 weeks for delivery as I send all my orders from Mexico where I currently dwell.
