JAMMU, INDIA — Indian and Pakistani soldiers waged a ``fierce`` three-day battle for a vast glacier high in the mountains along the disputed border of Kashmir, leaving six Pakistanis dead, an Indian general said Wednesday.
In a new flare-up of a decades-old conflict, Lt. Gen. M.L. Chibber said Pakistani commandos from the elite ``Special Services Group`` and Pakistani- trained guerrillas attacked Indian positions on the Siachin Glacier in the first week of January.
Foreign affairs analysts in New Delhi believe Pakistan may be trying to capture the glacier to link up with the Chinese border. Pakistan and China are friendly and reports said China is helping Islamabad develop a nuclear bomb.

News Article
Piaggio Starts Again on E-Bike Market With Wi-Bike
MILAN, Italy – At the International Motorcycle Show EICMA in Milan 2014, Piaggio already announced its entrance on the e-bike market and showed a stylish model. Not much was heard from the Italian scooter manufacturer until last week when they again introduced the Wi-Bike.
According to Piaggio: "The belt driven Wi-bike goes beyond the concept of an pedal-assisted bicycle but also as presents and shares information over modern networks and interaction interfaces with the vehicle. Thanks to PMP (Piaggio Multimedia Platform) technology, the Wi-bike has an advanced man-mechanical vehicle interface and guarantees constant data sharing with the world."
Advanced algorithms
Like the e-bike introduced last year, the new Wi-bike also features a compact motor that fits elegantly in the frame. Piaggio claims that "thanks to its axial-symmetric shape, designed around the pedal axle, the entire electric motor is hidden behind the sprocket. Advanced algorithms should guarantee an innovative control of e-bike, all to the advantage of reliability."
The Piaggio Wi-Bike features a high degree of connectivity including USB connection serves for a smartphone allowing to use this device for diagnostics and software updates. The smartphone can also be used to receive an alert notice in the event of a poor charge, for example after a long period of disuse. Service centre operations can be done via the same smartphone connection with a tablet or via Bluetooth technology.
A GPS/GSM module is housed in the battery which functions both as a satellite anti-theft device and a data transmission element from/for the battery. If the system detects a theft attempt of the vehicle, an alert is sent immediately via the dedicated app and the e-bike's position is tracked on the map.
Wi-Bike also means "community": at the end of each training session or simply on completing your ride, you can share the data related to the experience you've just had with your friend on the most common social networks.
Pure Italian design
The Piaggio Wi-Bike is available with four different models. The entry level Comfort which comes in three different frame sizes. The Comfort Plus features a genuine leather ergonomic seat and hand grips, some classy details such as a different type of tyres as well as two drive options: manual operator or electronic control. The Active has a sportier design and three operating options: traditional mechanical, manual operated and electronic controlled. Finally the Active Plus which is like the Active but also includes a luxury equipment like a leather seat and hand grips.

8 Other Artists Who Showed Skin On Their Album Covers
Wiz Khalifa sent tongues wagging when he released the album artwork for his O.N.I.F.C. Thursday. The shirtless wonder featured Wiz in a black-and-white spotted fur (Very 101 Dalmatians) and skin-tight striped pants. Fans were quick to issue the rapper with a major fashion citation but his response was nonchalant, "I'll Be Brave Enough. Onifc Is Not For The Scary.

Haicom HI-302 CF: full GPS support for Mac OS 9 and X
by Settimio Perlini
(la versione
italiana è su questa
pagina di MacProf)
Since october 2000 MacProf has tried to test and experiment GPS for Mac and our first success was the pairing of Garmin external receiver and Route 66 thanks to USB-Serial adapters.
The solution,
has many "universal" advantages since you can also use it
on portable Mac that lacks a PCMCIA slot and if you have the right serial
adapter you can use it also on PDAs.
But if you want to get rid of cables, adapters and chargers and you have a Powerbook (14", Titanium or 17") that can host a PC Card the most useful solution could a Compact Flash GPS!
With no declared Mac compatibility, Haicom 302 is sold by many GPS specialists all over the world as Pocket PC and Windows peripheral.
But Mac has always been "plug and play" and many PMCIA cards work out of the box without specific drivers.
So what about a try with this peripheral that can be turned from a CF to a PCMCIA by a simple adapter?
Anticipating the result we can tell you that it works smoothly either with Mac OS 9 either with the most recent versions of Mac OS X.
Thank to the italian reseller Mobit (specialized on GPS receivers - internal or standalone) we have tested a fully accesoried version of the product that is distributed with the GPS receiver on CF, the PCMIA adpater (it works also on Pocket PC PDAs), the external "windshield" antenna with a long cable and the case where the receiver can be hosted when you put it away from your Powerbook.
The English manual and the enclosed software talk only about the Windows and Windows CE compatibility....
Plug and Play with Mac OS 9
Not scared by the absence of Mac referencies, we inserted the CF GPS in the PCMCIA adapter and then both in the PCMCIA slot and as magic the PC Card icon appeared on the desktop: it's seen as a modem (if you click on it the modem panel opens): it's a serial device and it's seen by all the applications as that.
But does it work with Mac GPS applications?
At Work
To test the device functionality we downloaded the latest demo version of GPSY (the last update was on 11/11/2001 but it works well on 9.2.2) that functions only for 15 minutes, good enough for aquiring data from the GPS satellites.
You can see the results on the screenshot aside.
The satellite are locked up in about a minute if you are in open space 10-14 meters away from tall buildings.
But the most interesting test was done with Route 2002 application: GPS is not only useful for boaters or topographics but also for people traveling in foreign countries and unknow roads.
As we found many months ago, Route 2002 allows you to link via serial connection a standalone Garmin or Magellan GPS receiver: the Haicom is recognized by the software (download the latest software update from Route 66 website to make it work): after 90 seconds in good "sky conditions" our GPS receiver shows our 2D position and puts a marker on the Map on screen localizing our position on the Italian territory.
Obviously if you move around you'll obtain direction, speed, time form start and 3d data as Altitude.
Works with OS X too!
With the first versions of Mac OS X there was no way to make Route 66 recognize the CF GPS adapter and we lost our hope of traveling around with our PowerBook booted from X and the device.
But many recent updates of the OS have added PCMCIA cards compatibilities and we wanted to try if it was the case also with Haico.
Booting from Mac OS X 10.2.6 with the card inserted we received a good surprise: the CF GPS receiver is seen as PC CARD Serial IO and interacts perfectly with the Mac OS X version of Route 66 showing our 2D and 3D coordinates and our direction.
On travel
The best way to test a GPS system is to start a little travel and check the precision of the position on the Map and that in the "real world".
We made several test on little country roads with small or no buildings around and in small italian cities with narrow roads and 6-8 storey buildings: in the first condition we had no problem at all with the PowerBook sitted aside the driver (not a secure traveling condition... beware!), in the second condition the signal gets lost occasionally and the external antenna mounted on the rear windshield could be of great help.
Even if the signal gets lost for a while you position is correctly restored when a third or fourth satellite is not obscured by tall buildings.
As for the rensponsivness of the position indicator: the update is almost immediate: you can obtain your "real position" on the map within a 1 second delay.
When you travel around the GPS and PowerBook with Route 66 combination shows your direction and if you have selected a route shows also the remaining time and km.
A good
navigator: if it only could speak!
The only thin we missed was vocal communication: if you travel in your car alone your attention has to remain on the road and not on your computer screen!
Any way you can alwasys stop and check your position or at least receive an help from your passengers.
Haicom 302 is a pratical GPS device, easy to set up, has no cables, accumulators and works with your powerbook for hours and hours (providing you have car surge adapter for your laptop).
Works well with Windows and Pocket PCs (we tested it also with a Dell Axim X5).
A good tool for frequent and also occasional travellers, owners of Route 66 and a Powerbook and trekker with a PocketPC with CF slot
We haven't tried with Nautical software (Max Sea isn't developed for Mac anymore and NavimaQ is being rewritten for Mac OS X) but we will check with GPSNavX (a 49.99 $ shareware described as... "the solution for the boater that wants to take the Macintosh aboard for real-time display of position on full color charts. Just plug your GPS into your Macintosh and watch as your boat moves along in real-time, plotting a track behind the boat and logging your historic position on a digital chart"...)
- No surge or batteries required,
- Good cold start speed
- Good reception with external antenna (it works also on boats and has a low price=
- works with Route 66 and GPSY and also on Mac OS X 10.2.6
- It protrudes a lot from PowerBook side and requires attention when in use on car's seat.
Price and distribution (Europe)

Meizu M3E Star Trek Edition Spotted In Pictures
by Aug 29, 2016 5:25 am4
Meizu has a few phones in the pipeline which are going to be unveiled in September. The company released the Meizu M3E mid-ranger earlier this month and looks like there could be a special edition of the model in the works. A few pictures of the Meizu M3E Star Trek Edition were leaked on Weibo earlier today, revealing the existence of this edition.
We can see that the basic design is going to be the same as the M3E, however, there's the Star Trek logo at the back, indicating that this is a special edition. Further, the other two pictures show that the theme and icons in this M3E Star Trek Edition would also be customized.
READ MORE: OPPO R9 Barcelona Edition in Pictures (Blue)
It's not new for companies to release special edition models of their popular smartphones, but it's usually the top-end models that get such a special treatment. So, it's surprising to see that Meizu chose the M3E for such a customized version. We have already seen special editions like the OPPO R9 Barcelona Edition, Galaxy Note 7 Edge Injustice Edition and they turned out to be quite popular among fans. So, releasing Meizu M3E Star Trek Edition may not be such a bad idea.
It's worth noting that although many of us must have already seen the new Star Trek Beyond movie, it will release in China only on September 1. So, the timing could be just perfect for this version's launch.

MIDDLEBURY-Middlebury College has four students currently studying at its school in Japan, located at partner university ICU in Tokyo.
All of the students are safe and accounted for, according to Jeff Cason, dean of international programs, who reports that the college has spoken to all of the students.
The students are also on break between terms. ICU's winter term ended on March 1; the spring term begins on April 9.
Some of the students on Middlebury's program are in Japan, and others have left the country. As a precautionary measure, Middlebury has made the decision to bring those students who are still in Japan back to the United States, at least temporarily, until more is known about radiation exposure and risks in Japan. The college will continue to monitor the situation and will make a decision later this month about whether students will be able to return to ICU to study for the spring term.
Middlebury students have begun fundraising efforts through the Japanese Club and the new student organization Believe 4 Kids. Hand in hand with the fundraising will be an opportunity to fold paper cranes as a traditional gesture of peace, healing, and good will.
Faculty, staff, and students in Monterey have launched a fundraising drive aimed at supporting relief efforts in the area of Japan devastated by the recent earthquake and tsunami.
A message to the campus community, which includes 21 students from Japan. Members of the Japan Forum, a student club, have set up a booth at the Samson Student Center during lunch hours to collect individual donations.
The MIIS Student Council has agreed to dedicate all proceeds from the upcoming MIIS Student Follies, scheduled for April 1, to this fundraising effort.
The group has requested that any other contributions made by members of the Monterey Institute campus community be directed to the JSNC Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund established by the Japan Society of Northern California.
JSNC will use its partners at Give2Asia to identify organizations in Japan supporting the relief and recovery efforts and direct contributions from MIIS to those organizations in Japan.

Dispensationalism is undergoing a gradual, evolutionary change of mammoth proportions. Since the late 1980s many dispensational scholars have been tinkering with the system trying to make it more palatable to evangelical theologians — as well as more biblical. They are doing a pretty good job on both accounts. Their new system is called "progressive dispensationalism." But their work is not done. And it will not be done until they remove the word "dispensationalism" from their title. In other words, their work will not be complete until they no longer classify themselves as dispensationalists. I think that day is coming. (I will not, however, predict the day nor the hour lest I become like unto them.)
You can hear the alarm being sounded in the more popular, more traditional dispensational camp. That is, you can hear it from those few traditional dispensationalists who are somewhat studious and alert. The average dispensationalist-in-the-pew is too busy trying to identify the Antichrist, predict the date of the Rapture, and create a better system for full-color, fold-out charts. (I was just kidding about the last point; as strong advocates of the tri-partite view of man they are resolutely committed to tri-fold charts.)
In the 1990s a number of books attacking progressive dispensationalism were published by the old guard. And several significant debate books were generated out of their intermural debate. One of these debate books was: Herbert W. Bateman, ed., Three Central Issues in Contemporary Dispensationalism: A Comparison of Traditional and Progressive Views (Grand Rapids: Kregel, 1999). In this work we see the enormous changes being effected on the theological sub-structure of dispensationalism. (The more popular brand of dispensationalism that dominates the market does not actually have what we would call a "theological sub-structure." Basically their simple motto is: "I believe therefore it am").
To get a feel for the radical nature of the changes being effected, we may quote a brief section of this book. I will cite a couple of paragraphs by Stanley D. Toussaint, an older school dispensationalist. Toussaint writes on p. 227:
"In his classic work Dispensationalism Today, Ryrie sets forth a threefold sine qua non of dispensationalism — a distinction between Israel and the church, a literal hermeneutic, and the glory of God as His purpose on earth. Of these three, undoubtedly the most important is the distinction between Israel and the church. Ryrie calls this 'the most basic theological test of whether or not a man is a dispensationalist.' He calls it the 'essence of dispensationalism.' He goes so far as to say, 'The nature of the church is a crucial point of difference between dispensationalism and other doctrinal viewpoints. Indeed, ecclesiology, or the doctrine of the church, is the touchstone of dispensationalism.' All dispensationalists would agree that these statements are true. However, the degree of the difference has been and still is a matter of debate. If the church and Israel become so blurred in dispensationalism that there is no separation between them, dispensationalism will become as extinct as the pitied dodo bird."
As you can see: the foundational touchstone of dispensationalism is being reformulated. And "if the foundations be destroyed, what will the populist do?"
Since dispensationalism is a theological system, we can expect that reworking the foundations will impact the rest of their theology. And such is certainly the case. Toussaint goes on to note on p. 228:
"Progressive dispensationalism has taken a new tack. It still makes something of a difference between Israel and the church, but that distinction is not nearly as sharp. Those who hold to this position believe that the promised kingdom has already begun; progressive dispensationalists assert that the Old Testament covenants and promises have had a beginning, a partial fulfillment in the church, but will have their ultimate fulfillment in the Millennium and eternity. Their view of the kingdom is similar to Ladd's; that is, progressive dispensationalists believe that the kingdom was present when Christ ministered on earth but His reign was not initiated until His ascension. At that time He took His seat on the throne of David. Thus, the kingdom has been inaugurated but will come in fullness only in the millennium and eternity."
These are enormously significant alterations occurring in this popular eschatological system. Dispensationalism is in serious trouble. It is not simply changing, it is becoming its opposite. But again: they are not there yet, though the prospects look good for the final demise of dispensationalism. Of course, if the average dispensationalist ever gets wind of what their theologians are doing, they will simply write it off as another one of the signs of the times. And they will return to the mountain top with their friends to eagerly wait.

Post subject: IVMP 3.1.2 Crashing
Whats the standard procedure for stopping iview crashing all the time ? I have deleted the preferences (plist) file, but this has unfortunatly not sorted it.
The intermittant crashes occur when I select a thumbnail. It has done it 4 times in the last 5 mins...
I'm on IVMP 3.1.2 (build 42D4) and QT7.1.3.
Thank you.

Is it any thumbnail or just a particular one that's causing the crashing?
Create a new catalog and see if you can add a few pics, save, close and open again. If so then it may be that the original catalog file that you're working with is damaged and that's what's causing the crashes. Do you have a backup copy of it you can try?
If the new catalog appears to work OK, go to the File->Import Items->From Catalog File menu option and select the problem catalog. If you can import all of the files into the new catalog you can go from there. If it crashes you've possibly have a file in the catalog that is causing the crashes.
Note: you've posted in the iView Media forum and the the MediaPro forum.

Thanks for reply Old Toad,
So as a piece of general advice if a catalogue is crashing iview, then the idea is to create a new catalogue, and try and import the data from the old catalogue to the new one ?
Do you have a trouble-shooting Order of Preference that I can have 'at hand', because this sort of thing is happening a lot more to me now.
The catalogue in question is now behaving itself...for the moment (after a machine restart), so I am unable to replicate last nights crashing this morning.
I have noticed iView MP is not as stable as it used to be. I have had problems with importing files from CD's a couple of days ago (reported in my earlier post).
Thank You for your help.

(after a machine restart),
Do you keep your machine on all the time and just sleep it at night? I don't and often forget to suggest a restart as part of the problem solving process. It's amazing how many issues can be fixed by either a reboot or a cold start.
I don't have an order of preference. For general maintenance on my G5 I always repair disk permissions before and after any software installation and/or update. If it's a system or system component update I'll run Disk Utility before hand and verify the disk. If it doesn't pass verification I boot into the system install disk and repair the disk from there.
I also make sure I have plenty of free space on my boot drive. I prefer to have a minimum of 20 G for optimized performance.
As far a iView, I do keep the previous version, 3.1.1, available. But for iView trouble shooting, I've only had a couple of issues. One is some files that crash 3.1.2 when I do a search over multiple catalogs and want the results in a new catalog. I thought I had it fixed when I deleted the iView preference and settings file but it came back on some secondary, test catalogs. It doesn't do that with 3.1.1.
If you do keep the machine on all the time, an occasional restart wouldn't hurt and may keep some of the gremlins at bay. In some of my apps when I've experienced some erratic behavior I run OnyX and clean out the User caches including the font caches. Once in a great while I've cleaned out the system caches if there's been some strange system behavior. This will make the next restart or two a little slower until all the caches have been rebuilt, etc., but that's all.
Being an amateur I probably have a different work flow from most of the users here in the forum. I use a card reader to upload to a folder on the desktop, name the folder and then place it in my source file folder system. Then I import the files into iView. I just like to get the files onto the HD so that they can take on the necessary permissions, etc. before I put them into my system. I don't use RAW which presents a much more complex set of issues.
Make sure you back it up your catalog frequently, and let us know how it goes.
EDIT: I forgot to ask what size your catalog file is as the catalog file size can be a problem. If it gets up near 1.8G you can have problems. This can creep up on you if you elect to use full previews and large thumbnail sizes.

Back to FES
Congress: <Top>
Between 1955 and 1991, there
has been a major departure in the way of looking at social
democracy by NC. Due to changes in the international environment
and worldwide change in values, the stress has been on
individual initiatives rather than doctrinaire social
democracy. There is a gap between theoretical training
given to party workers and socio-economic policies adopted
during party conventions. Neither the central committee
nor the cabinet has endorsed these policies.
Currently, there is a contradictory
perception on the style of party functioning. There are
some that claim that a gradual shift from leader-oriented
practices to organizational practices in the conduct of
party affairs has taken root, and the party is operating
according to its constitution and organizational set up.
There are others who still believe that the highest-ranking
leaders have total sway on the party and that the democratization
process is subservient to the leaders decisions. At any
rate, the party faces two major challenges that have persisted
for a long time, namely evaluation of members and enforcement
of discipline among party members from top to bottom.
Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist):
The CPN-UML is a cadre-based
party. It is the second largest party in the country with
68 seats in the House of Representatives. It advocates
a unique brand of left ideology, known as Peoples
Multi-party Democracy, which was propounded by the
late charismatic leader Madan
Bhandari. The party is committed to competitive multi-party
system but firmly believes that power can be attained
through elections by winning over rival bourgeois parties.
Often there are accusations made against the party for
taking a revisionist line or that its party workers are
behaving like "democrats" or "deviationists". The party
overlooks these charges as it claims to maintain its image
by striving peacefully to attain the ultimate goal of
Presently, there are some
reservations shown by the party on the constitution of
the country but it believes it can still co-exist with
the monarchy without any confrontation. It is prepared
to compromise with the King in order to safeguard nationalism
and promote development. Unlike in China where political
parties are marginalized and are subservient to the Communist
party, the CPN-UML will allow political parties to operate
freely in Nepal when it comes to power.
Prajatantra Party-RPP <Top>
The RPP is fully committed
to pluralistic democracy, supporting constitutional monarchy,
nationalism and economic liberalization. It is struggling
between two poles: whether to discard past values altogether
or to continue some traits that it sees valid, especially
the features of nationalism.
The RPP leadership factor
is uniquely personalistic as many of its top members had
played influential role during the Panchayat era. When
the RPP was formed in 1990, the need to switch over to
democratic behaviour was quite taxing to those in leadership.
Learning democratic practices in the management of the
party was hard lesson for them in the new environment
of multi-party culture as past hangovers had to be discarded.
The command structure of the party is overwhelmingly influenced
by personalities more than party ideology and people-based
programmes. Often, there are compromises at work when
problems of enforcing discipline in the party arise. The
bottom-up approach to leadership formation has not developed
though some new strategies have been formulated to streamline
the party on a more rational basis.
Sadbhavana Party <Top>
Given the predominance of
the rural sector in the national economy, with 80% of
the people rural based, Nepal Sadhbhavana Party stresses
on the need to empower rural people by making them aware
of their rights under the new constitution. The party
strives to put every active member to work in the rural
sector for at least two weeks in a month. The justification
for such a step is that there has been erosion of the
culture of sacrifice. Partly this has been due to the
rise of individualism during the thirty years of autocratic
Panchayat rule when anyone addressing national issues
had to face suppression and even imprisonment. Under the
present democratic set up, the scope for reform exists
though there are constitutional obstacles to issues raised
by the party. Fundamentally, these issues cannot be resolved
through simple enactment of present laws. Several reasons
are cited for the lacuna. First, there are legal disputes
on citizenship even for those who have been citizens for
over twenty years. Second, the redundant Panchayat laws
continue to operate. Third, the unitary structure of government
cannot represent the interest and aspirations of the common
people, including those living in the Terai. Fourth, there
is rampant social and economic exploitation of the Terai
where existing land reform laws and electoral system are
inadequate as they cannot fully represent the actual population
size. Finally, there is poor recruitment of the Terai
people, especially in the army. The NSP demands a federal
structure of government so that there is a greater national
cohesion, unity and sense of well being among the people
of Nepal. An amendment to the constitution is essential
in order to guarantee the right of equality of citizens
without any discrimination. The legitimate citizens of
the Terai cannot be deprived of citizenship right.

Kim Breuer, a very loyal reader, called my attention to this piece from the left-wing magazine "The Progressive." The piece claims that Tom DeLay is trying to "gag" dissent over the coming war with Iraq by stating that Democrats are becoming the party of appeasement. In making this claim, the author shows himself to be confused about issues of freedom of speech and expression. It is no affront to free speech to claim, even mistakenly, that someone is advocating appeasement. If DeLay was saying that the likes of Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich favor appeasing Iraq, then DeLay was wrong. Appeasement is the policy the Democrats want to practice with respect to North Korea (and North Korea may have been what DeLay had in mind when he made the statement attributed to him); gross neglect is what they would like to see in the case of Iraq. But, regardless of the validity of his statement, DeLay has an absolute right to claim that the Democrats are appeasing Saddam Hussein, and doing so in no way infringes on the free speech rights of Dean and Kucinich. In turn, Dean and Kucinich have an absolute right to claim that Bush is going to war in order to seize Iraqi oil or to make Iraq the 51st state, or whatever. Bad, inflammatory arguments are part of what free speech is about. The Progressive's failure to comprehend this reflects the corruption of modern liberalism, with its speech codes and hate crime laws.
The Progessive also discusses the situation of Toni Smith, the female basketball player at Manhattanville College, who has been turning her back on the American flag during the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner." The Progressive says, plausibly enough, that Smith has faced "all sorts of abuse." But the "sort" of abuse she faces is the crucial issue. If it consists of forceful verbal condemnation, then her rights are being respected. Individuals offended by Smith's conduct (I am one) have the right to express their strong disapproval, and doing so is not an attempt to "gag" Smith. Only if Smith were ordered not to turn her back, or were punished for doing so, would her right to free expression be abridged. In that event, I would side with Smith.

"American classical music has finally taken a sharp turn for the better – back towards tonality, accessibility and immediacy. Daniel Asia is one of the composers who has his hands on the wheel. He's an important new voice and Breath in a Ram's Horn is the best possible way to find out what his fresh and engaging music is all about.

- In Audiophile Audition by Steven Ritter
"…his music does a good job…getting to the point of each of the short poems, which are brief meditations on the present state of the Middle East and the day-to-day lives and psyches of its inhabitants, near and far. The tone is generally lyrical, the net effect moving and thoughtful. The beautiful prayer finale makes a memorable conclusion. This is a fine expression of the present day Jewish condition, and I hope it finds a substantial audience."
-American Record Guide
"Soloists Chris Pedro Trakas and Robert Swenson are both masters of their art, enhancing both the drama and the lyricism of the texts. Their voices not only are well-suited to this music, but ideally complement each other. The chorus and orchestra also sing and play with finesse and considerable musical expression…With Summit's excellent recorded sound and presentation, this release is a worthwhile addition to the recorded legacy of Daniel Asia and recorded contemporary music in general, and as such, certainly deserves a place in your collection."
– Fanfare
"…The composer's idiom is tonal and very approachable; an apt comparison in both mood and vocabulary would be Bernstein's more 'serious' orchestral works – the Kaddish and Age of Anxiety symphonies for instance; harmonically rich and sometimes ambiguous, and always rhythmically vital, with excursions into contemplative depth of feeling. The concise Nonet is cast in similar musical language, with something of the clear precision of neoclassical Stravinsky."

- Pure than the purest pure: Choral Works of Daniel Asia with the BBC Singers
Britain's foremost professional chamber choir, the BBC Singers, was founded in 1924. As a vital resource in the BBC's music output, the BBC Singers hold a unique position in British musical life. Performing everything from Byrd and Birtwistle to Tallis and Takemitsu, the versatility of this 24-voice ensemble is second to none.

Las Vegas has seen the highest foreclosure rate among large U.S. cities. Foreclosure crisis has hit Las Vegas, the Sin City badly. The wield of defaults that instigate with subprime borrowers and the unemployed has spread to upscale homeowners who see no point in staying, even if they can afford to. A broker Zar Zanganeh commented on the crisis saying, "You feel like a sucker if you're paying a $5 million mortgage on a house that's worth $2 million."
In the initial quarter only, 30 homes in the place known as Clark County, which covers the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding residential areas, are with mortgages exceeding $1 million were repossessed by banks or bought by third parties in foreclosure sales. That figure is up from 20 homes a year earlier; according to a company that tracks defaults. Short sales, in which the bank agrees to accept less than the loan balance, and bank-owned properties accounted for about three-quarters of all home sales in the period, according to the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors.
About 100 homes in the county are listed for $3 million or more, a five-year supply at the current sales pace. One listing with Zanganeh's firm, Luxe Estates Collection, is a never-occupied, bank-owned mansion overlooking a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus in The Ridges, a community west of Las Vegas. The asking price is $3 million for the 8,550-square-foot house, which was repossessed in 2010 and had a $3.2 million mortgage from the Community Bank of Nevada, a lender seized by regulators in August 2009. Zanganeh is also handling a seven-bedroom home with a panoramic view of the Strip. Nicolas Cage, the Oscar-winning star of Leaving Las Vegas, paid $8.5 million for the house in 2006. It went into foreclosure in December 2009. The next owner, who property records show paid $4.2 million, has put the house on the market for $7.9 million—an "unrealistic" price, according to Zanganeh.
In Nevada, 23 percent of delinquent borrowers said they "strategically defaulted," or walked away from their homes by choice rather than necessity, according to a January buy proscar online uk report by the Nevada Association of Realtors. "It's folks that feel the hopelessness of it all," says Rob Wigton, chief executive officer of the state association. "They've rolled the dice and lost." The population of Clark County has fallen by about 16,000 from its estimated high of 1.97 million in 2008, according to the government-funded Nevada State Demographer.
Las Vegas home values have plunged 58 percent since the 2006 peak, the most of the 20 metropolitan areas tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Prices fell 7.4 percent in March from a year earlier, to a median $125,950, the Las Vegas Realtors reported on Apr. 8. Almost 70 percent of Las Vegas area homeowners with mortgages were underwater at the end of 2010, meaning they owed more than the value of the property, according to CoreLogic (CLGX), a real estate information company. Among cities with a population of more than 200,000, Las Vegas has led the nation in the pace of foreclosure actions since November 2009, with one of every 31 homes being subject to a filing in the first quarter of this year, RealtyTrac, an information provider, reported on Apr. 14.
Probably 20% of Las Vegas homeowners seeking short sales owe at least $750,000, as per Jamie Cogburn report, a Las Vegas plaintiff's attorney who has mentioned that he has handled 350 such sales and 200 more are there to go. One of Jamie Cogburn's clients is a doctor with a home now valued at about half its $1 million mortgage. That doctor earns enough to save for a 20% down payment on his next home within a few months at current prices, he stated. "People with a higher income can go buy another house. You've got to cut your losses at some point, just like with a stock," he continued. Las Vegas right now has about 100 homes for sale with asking prices of $3 million or higher. A lot of of these houses have been foreclosed on by lenders.
Las Vegas may be preferred for having fun but not for living I guess.

Even though Los Angeles has been the center of movie making for most of a century, you wouldn't always know it to look at the movies. Elaborate sets, sound stages and backdrops could transform Los Angeles into any place in the world. That Welsh mining town from "How Green Was My Valley"? It was closer to the San Fernando Valley. "The Sting" in 1930s Chicago? Try Pasadena.
Look closely at some famous Oscar-winning movies and you'll find that Southern California peeks through. And movie fans can still see many of these spots.
On location with Oscar
Most early movie locations are long gone, torn down to make way for new homes, buildings or movie sets. But the primary setting for the 1932 Oscar-winning short comedy film "The Music Box" is intact. In the film, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy play piano delivery men faced with an impossible set of stairs. The steps, which recently were marked by a special street sign, are in Silver Lake.
"The Great Dictator," Charlie Chaplin's comic skewering of Adolf Hitler (Adenoid Hynkel in the movie) and the war in Europe, earned five nominations in 1940, including best actor, outstanding production and writing for Chaplin himself. Chaplin played two roles -- the dictator and a Jewish barber who is mistaken for him.
The grand palace where Hynkel lived, however, wasn't a European location at all. It was Pasadena City Hall, a hugely ornate wedding cake of a structure built in the mid-1920s. The Spanish Baroque dome is easily recognizable in scenes in which Hynkel is making speeches to the public. But, strangely, Chaplin didn't film there. A matte shot of the building was simply used as a backdrop.
A few miles away in Old Town Pasadena is Kendall Alley -- featured in 1973's "Paper Moon" (of three nominations, only Tatum O'Neal won for best supporting actress) and "Pulp Fiction" (seven nominations; winner for original screenplay). In 1994's "Pulp Fiction," Old Town is where Bruce Willis jumps into a taxi after leaving his boxing bout. As he speeds off, he passes the Raymond Theater.
Nearby is the Castle Green apartment complex, which was built as an annex to the great resort Hotel Green at the turn of the 20th century. The film "Bugsy" (10 nominations in 1991; wins for sets, art direction and costumes) played on its historic look when filmmakers passed it off as the Hotel Nacional de Cuba. In "The Sting," Castle Green is where the sting went down.
"The Sting" -- which won eight Oscars out of 11 nominations in 1973, including best picture -- also used another famous Southern California landmark: the Santa Monica Pier. In the scene in which Robert Redford comes to find Paul Newman, Newman is working at the carousel there.
Of course, a few classic films show off Los Angeles, but academy voters give hometown movies a hard time no matter how great they are. "Chinatown" (12 nominations in 1974 but only one win, for original screenplay) used Echo Park Lake as a spot for Jake (Jack Nicholson) to spy on Evelyn Mulwray's husband. Likewise, "L.A. Confidential" (10 nominations in 1997; winner for adapted screenplay and supporting actress Kim Basinger) used the Crossroads of the World in Hollywood as the location for the office of the Tattler tabloid. "The Graduate" in 1967, which had young Dustin Hoffman driving up and down the California Coast, used USC's campus -- in particular a famous shot of the fountain in front of Doheny Library -- as UC Berkeley. (Of the movie's seven nominations, only director Mike Nichols won.) All three lost best-picture bids.
Best-picture winner "Going My Way," the 1944 film in which Bing Crosby saved his struggling St. Dominic's in, ahem, New York, was filmed at St. Monica's Catholic Church in, ahem, Santa Monica. Orange County was asked to stand in for L.A. at the end of another best picture, "Rain Man," in 1988. After driving cross-country, Tom Cruise puts his afraid-to-fly autistic brother (Dustin Hoffman) on a train. But Union Station's filming rules were too restrictive, so the brothers' goodbyes were said at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center.
But perhaps the greatest location-reality disconnect is this: The airport in "Casablanca" was actually in Van Nuys at the Metropolitan Airport, now Van Nuys Airport. When nasty Maj. Strasser (Conrad Veidt) arrives, the airport's hangars -- now on a nearby street -- are visible. The famous tearful goodbye between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman was not filmed on the airfield, however, but at nearby Warner Bros. Studios.
Oscar on the studio lots Historically, Warner Bros. was best known for its low-budget movies, many of them gangster films and comedies, but it also produced landmark films, including 1943 best picture "Casablanca" at its studio in Burbank. What is still visible on most tours is the French street that stood in for Paris in the famous "Here's looking at you, kid" flashback. "Oscar row" sits at the center of the Warner Bros. Museum, the first stop on any studio tour. The studio has six best-picture Oscar statuettes and displays related to each film: "The Life of Emile Zola" (1937), "Casablanca," "My Fair Lady" (1964), "Chariots of Fire" (1981), "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989) and "Unforgiven" (1992). The piano Sam played in Rick's Café is on display, as is the red dress Bette Davis wore during her Oscar-winning turn in "Jezebel" in 1938. Universal Studios is as well-known for its theme park now as for its movie studio, and some of the Universal City park's attractions have Oscar connections. The famous shark that comes swimming at tourists taking the tram tour is from "Jaws," a 1975 best-picture nominee that won three other awards (sound, music and editing). "Back to the Future," from 1985, has not only an Oscar for sound-effects editing but also its own Universal ride. The giant back lot at Universal Studios has also been used in dozens of films, many Oscar winners among them. Spartacus Square got its name for being the shooting location for that 1960 film, which won five awards. "The Color Purple," which got stiffed in 1985 despite 11 nominations, was filmed in part at the lot's Six Points, Texas, street. The Colonial Street was used in two of Universal's best-picture nominees -- "100 Men and a Girl" in 1937 and "Three Smart Girls" in 1936. It was also used for "To Kill a Mockingbird," a 1962 best-picture nominee that won four other Oscars. An early winner, 1930's "All Quiet on the Western Front," a prestige project for Universal, was filmed in the area called Little Europe. The first best-picture Oscar handed out -- to the 1927 film "Wings" -- is on display in a trophy case at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood. The studio has produced memorable best-picture nominees -- "Sunset Boulevard" in 1950, "The Lost Weekend" (which won in 1945), "Double Indemnity" in 1944 and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in 1944 -- since then. A walking tour of Paramount will almost always include stops on the studio's New York Street, where Patrick Swayze's character died in "Ghost" (best writing and supporting actress in 1990), and where James Caan beat up his brother-in-law in "The Godfather" (best picture, adapted screenplay and actor in 1972). Stop by the costume department and you'll see the shirt Oscar winner Tom Hanks wore as he sat on a bench musing that life is like a box of chocolates in 1994's "Forrest Gump." Sony is a much newer player in the movie studio biz, having acquired MGM and Columbia TriStar around 1990. The MGM back lot in Culver City, where much of the Oscar hog "Gone With the Wind" (nine awards in 1939) was shot, is now a condo complex. The burning of Atlanta was filmed at the nearby Culver Studios (also owned by Sony). But tours go through the Irving Thalberg Building (the chief of MGM for whom the honorary Thalberg Award is named), which now holds Columbia Pictures' statuettes, and by the scoring stage where the Oscar-winning score for 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" was recorded. Dining out with Oscar At the Sunset Strip health food restaurant the Source, Woody Allen's Alvy Singer and Diane Keaton's Annie Hall officially bade adieu to their relationship over a stormy lunch in 1977's "Annie Hall," which won Oscars for best film, director, actress and screenplay. In the eatery's parking lot an angry Alvy ended up crashing into several cars as he was departing. Though a mainstay for more than two decades on the Sunset Strip, the Source went out of business and is now the location of the Cajun Bistro seafood grill. West Hollywood's legendary Formosa Cafe plays a memorable part in "L.A. Confidential." In one pivotal scene, an L.A. detective (Guy Pearce) mistakes screen goddess Lana Turner, dining with her mobster boyfriend Johnny Stampanato, for a look-alike call girl. Movie magic has transformed local restaurants, as in the case of the Hollywood hilltop Yamashiro restaurant. The popular restaurant and its grounds doubled for post-World War II Japan in the 1957 drama "Sayonara," starring Marlon Brando. Nominated for 10 Oscars, "Sayonara" won for supporting actor (Red Buttons), supporting actress (Miyoshi Umeki), art direction-set direction and sound recording. Built as a private estate in 1911, the restaurant and its environs have been the backdrop for several features, TV movies and series. In "Sayonara," the estate was used in a scene in which Brando takes his girlfriend (Patricia Owens) to dinner. A Carl's Jr. in Canoga Park was transformed into Mr. Smiley's, the fast-food restaurant where Lester (Kevin Spacey) worked in the 1999 winner "American Beauty." The satire won Oscars for film, actor (Spacey), director (Sam Mendes), screenplay (Alan Ball) and cinematography (Conrad Hall). The Long Beach Marina restaurant Khoury's appeared as a Baltimore-area eatery in the 1997 hit "As Good as It Gets," which was nominated for six Oscars and received best-actor and -actress awards for Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. The two attempt to have a romantic dinner there, but after Nicholson's obsessive-compulsive romance novelist offends single mother Hunt, she ends up walking out on him. In her 1990 Oscar-nominated best-actress performance in "Pretty Woman," hooker-with-a-heart Julia Roberts has dinner with businessman Richard Gere in the ritzy Rex Il Ristorante in downtown L.A. Though attempting to look very chichi while eating her escargots, Roberts accidentally lets go of one of the snails, which flies through the room only to end up being caught by a waiter. That Rex is now Cicada restaurant. Some memorable restaurants don't exist anymore. The '50s-style Hawthorne Grill in Hawthorne is one of the main settings in "Pulp Fiction." The movie begins and ends there, with hit men John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson dining at the coffee shop when a young couple (Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth) come in to rob the place. But don't go looking for the diner; it has since been torn down and replaced by an Auto Zone.

Brand New Central Tokyo Office – Kabukiza Tower
Post: Tuesday April 23, 2013 Author : plazahomes
In February 26th, the new KABUKIZA TOWER has opened with the backdrop of Ginza, Tsukiji and Tokyo, upholding the values of traditional culture while opening up a new world of business.
The B2 floor is directly connected with Higashi-Ginza Station allowing travels in any direction in central Tokyo and also direct access to Haneda and Narita Airports. It is further connected with 2 stations and 3 other lines via underground concourse.
The main entrance of the office building faces Showa-dori avenue. It is designed with a separate entrance to the office spaces and the theater, to ensure independence of the business space. From the striking 7 meter high entrance hall, large shuttle elevators take you directly to the 7th-floor Sky Lobby. The Sky Lobby also is a huge open space equal to two stories and looks onto the Ginza direction. From the 7th floor, you can take elevators to the lower, middle, and upper bank facilitating smooth access to the office floors.
Each floor of the office building is spacious with an area of approx.500tubo (1,700sqm) and six doorways, so that it can be divided into three sections to meet diverse office needs. The office space is liberating with the ceiling height of 2,800mm, and the 100mm height raised floor can accommodate various under-floor wiring. Four air-conditioning units are used on each floor, which is divided into four zones allowing flexible office layout and fine-tuned control. To reduce the environmental impact and maximize energy conservation, the floors are also equipped with advanced functions including motion sensor lighting and automatic dimming system.
Standard Floor Plan (9-15F)
For the security system, a non-contact IC card system is used for automatic office entry and exit while blocking intrusions by unauthorized individuals. Tenants who will use all floors of an elevator bank may optionally install an exclusive security gate at the elevator bank entrance on the 7th floor Sky Lobby. The building has one VIP elevator, which allows direct access from the B3 parking space to the destination office floor (exclusive use for one tenant).
The use of 2 different vibration control systems absorbs vibration energy, helps resist the shakes, and reduces the resulting impact on the structure.
The two-line power receiving system, which receives power from a main and back-up line, secures power supply in the event of an outage on the other. An emergency power generator also secures enough energy for minimum basic performance and safety of the building.
Aiming at elegant integration of tradition and the present, KABUKIZA TOWER will open a new future for business and traditional culture.

A few details:
I am using WINDOWS PC
I started living at a new home 1 month ago
I am not using a router
I have tried looking up my username/password with %appdata% , roaming, etc. on an internet browser to no avail
I have watched countless FTP tutorials / videos but they all assume you KNOW your username and password, and so I keep hitting walls when this happens
I have tried different FTP clients, but all have the same problem

As part of the Campaign for the Mind of America, NAMI's Policy Research Institute has prepared six fact sheets on these issues. A copy of the fact sheet on Hospital Emergency Departments is attached. The full set can be reviewed at www.nami.org/costshifts. Other topics include: Homelessness Jails & Prisons School Failure Unemployment Uninsured The challenge today is to make smart choices with the broadest possible public benefits.

Our guide to Skipton Holiday Cottages
Skipton is a friendly Yorkshire market town that has served its residents and those of the surrounding agricultural area for centuries. Because the town is on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it is a convenient holiday base for families, couples, and large parties that love the countryside and its pursuits. We recommend Skipton if you are looking for a short self-catering break in Yorkshire, or for your longer annual holiday away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Judged as being one of Britain's best places to live, Skipton is large enough to provide all the essential services but small enough to maintain that small-town charm that both locals and visitors love so much. After all, 'Skipton' is Anglo Saxon for 'Sheep Town', which attests to its old world charm and small village atmosphere.
In fact, Skipton continues to celebrate its sheep heritage to this day. Every summer there is a 'Sheep Day,' a celebration that features an energetic and busy auction mart where farmers from the district and further afield buy and sell their sheep. What was once a major trade event has been transformed into a cultural affair well worth attending just for the experience. Listen out for the extremely strong local accents that in some cases you'll struggle to understand.
Fondly referred to as the 'Gateway to the Dales,' Skipton is located in the Aire Gap, which separates the northern limestone dales and the grit stone moors to the south. The Lake District, The Forest of Bowland (AONB), Nidderdale (AONB) and the west coast are all within easy driving distance. The Leeds Liverpool Canal runs through the town and traditional canal boats are a common sight.
While in Skipton, why not make the most of this friendly little town's wide range of activities and attractions? It has a rich history, beautiful surrounding scenery and plenty of pursuits to keep you occupied. If you like a round of golf, the scenic Skipton Golf Club course is nearby. For sightseeing, visit the medieval Skipton Castle or Bolton Abbey, and then enjoy the Forbidden Corner at Middleham – billed as "The Strangest Place in the World" – the kids will love it. Alternatively, take a trip to impressive Malham Cove and view the limestone pavements.
With the Yorkshire Dales practically in your back garden, you can appreciate the great outdoors by walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, or simply enjoying a scenic country drive. If you prefer to stay local, the town has a busy market four times a week along it's buzzing high street, plenty of fine shops, pubs, and a variety of places to enjoy a good meal. The local fish and chips are particularly recommended, be sure to eat at Bizzie Lizzies.
If you love art and culture, we suggest that you visit some of the nearby galleries and museums during your holiday in Skipton. The Craven Museum and Gallery, and the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Keighley are certainly not to be missed.
You can probably tell that we're passionate about Skipton for a self-catering break in Yorkshire, and we offer holiday cottages, lodges and apartments are available in the area providing stunning 4 and 5-star luxury.
This market town has much to offer, providing great holidays every year in an area of natural beauty with all the required amenities and friendly locals. Getting there is simple: the town has good road and rail links and is just 16 miles from Leeds Bradford Airport. Why not come and try the Skipton experience.

My wife and I (embarrassingly) think of ourselves as "foodies." We (well, she) love to cook, discover new restaurants, and of course … eat! Not long ago, whenever we'd eat out, we'd envision what it looks like behind the scenes in the kitchen, and the pressure, energy, and passion that goes into each dish gracefully presented before eager (and hungry) customers.
Then I watched Gordon Ramsay on "Hell's Kitchen," and my notion of what happens behind the kitchen doors was turned upside down. The pressure, energy, and passion were there, but they were coupled with fiery explosions, excruciating stress, fierce competition, and an insane head chef shouting a tirade of colorful words I'd never repeat in public.
Not every kitchen has a Gordon Ramsay at the helm, but that's what makes "Hell's Kitchen" stand out among all the food-centric shows out there. No other show knows how to bring out the best and worst of every contestant quite like "Hell's Kitchen." But while it's an understatement to say that Ramsay can be harsh, it's his fire that refines each contestant's skills. Whether you love him or hate him, the contentious dynamic between head chef Ramsay and his motley crew of cooks has me (and many others) hooked on the show.
Today, I'm excited to announce that "Hell's Kitchen" has come to Hulu.com and Hulu Plus, just in time for the premiere of Season 9. In addition to current-season episodes, which will be posted for all Hulu users the day after air, Hulu Plus subscribers can watch the entire back library — seasons 1-8 — which are available exclusively on Hulu Plus, thanks to Lionsgate and Debmar-Mercury. (You may not see every episode today, but we're working hard to make sure the complete library is up as quickly as possible.) This means you can follow the new season and catch up on past seasons when and where you want: from your smartphone to the biggest screen in your house. Users of the free Hulu service can watch clips from current and past seasons as well as a rotating selection of seasons hand-picked by the Hulu editorial team.
Enjoy "Hell's Kitchen." Now stop reading this [bleeping] blog post and go watch it, yes?

About Diane Schuur
Long regarded as one of contemporary jazz's leading vocalists, Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1953, Schuur has been blind from birth; but she is gifted with perfect pitch and initially taught herself piano by ear. She received formal piano training at The Washington State School for the Blind, which she attended until she was 11 years of age.
Nicknamed "Deedles" as a child, she grew up surrounded by the world of Jazz embraced by both of her parents: Her father was an amateur pianist, and her mother kept a formidable collection of Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington albums in her home. Not surprisingly, Dinah Washington is often listed as Schuur's major vocal influence, and she learned the iconic singer's "What a Difference a Day Makes" while she was still a toddler. She also developed her own rich, resonant vocal style at a very young age.
With a distinguished recording career that spans three decades, including two Grammy awards (Timeless and Diane Schuur and The Count Basie Orchestra), as well as three additional Grammy nominations, Schuur's music has explored almost every corner of the 20th Century musical landscape. Her musical collaborations include the aforementioned Count Basie Orchestra, Barry Manilow, B.B. King, Ray Charles, and Jose Feliciano, among countless others. These collaborations have resulted in numerous #1 Billboard Chart recordings, including Pure Schuur and Heart to Heart with B.B. King; Ms. Schuur has appeared on PBS and many other television specials…as well as a very special visit to the beloved TV show, Sesame Street. Diane has been invited to perform at The White House on multiple occasions, and was one of the select musical guests invited to perform for Stevie Wonder at the Kennedy Center Honors when he received his prestigious award. She continues to tour and perform extensively at major concert halls and venues around the world.
What Other People Have Been Saying...
"Schuur's voice is, to put it very mildly, beautiful. She has a vocal range that can deliver low, grumbly laments and high, crooning wails with equal effectiveness, and wonderful vibrato." – CMJ
"Her voice is impressive in its size, range and brightness" – New York Times
"uniquely her own… firmly in the realm of classy American pop." – All Music

Chelsea Fuss' 5 Pro Tips for Beautiful Flowers on a Budget
Over the past few days we've looked into the lovely culinary corner of Chelsea Fuss and learned about her favorite cooking tools. Today Chelsea shares her pro tips on how to keep flowers looking their best in the kitchen and at your table. Just look at those romantic blossoms!
Here's how you can create a beautiful bouquet like this, without breaking the bank.
Creating Soft, Wild-Looking Bouquets
"I always look for flowers that are soft, wild-looking and bend easily," Chelsea says. "Stems like gerberas or lilies are stiff and tough to work with and to combine with other flowers, they have their place, but they won't give you a wildflower look. My favorite gardens are wild and billowy with patches of buttercups or Queen Anne's lace, grasses, or bluebells, vines, and creeping ground covers like thyme, so I like my flower arrangements to offer that same, untamed look.
"The goal is for it to look like it wasn't designed at all, like it just happened. My favorite arrangements have a mix of small and large blossoms, a filler flower like mimosa or wax flower, lots of greens, and a vine. The goal is to make it look as if the flowers were wild and you were just gathering them up."
Here are some of her favorite flowers to work with that offer a wild, just-picked-from-the-garden look:
- Waxflower
- Camellia greens
- Berried ivy
- Viburnum
- Ranunculus
- Garden roses
- Spray roses (a great garden look for a budget)
- Hyacinth
- Herbs (shop the produce section)
- Jasmine
Beyond those general thoughts on creating wild, beautiful bouquets, here are some thoughts from Chelsea on creating flower arrangements on a budget.
Chelsea's 5 Tips for Flowers on a Budget
1. Shop in season.
Seasonal flowers are always less expensive.
2. Create bouquets that can be refreshed.
Make the bulk of your arrangement greenery and filler flowers and then buy three focal flowers (larger showy flowers, like roses) and 3 to 5 stems of secondary flowers (not quite as showy, like ranunculus). The greenery and filler will probably last well over a week or two, then you can just switch out the focal and secondary flowers as they wilt.
3. Use large stems of flowers.
Look for flowers that take up a lot of space in an arrangement, like hyacinths or hydrangea so that you won't need as many stems.
4. Re-cut flower stems.
Recut immediately when you bring them home from the florist or grocery, and cut them at an angle.
5. Maintain your bouquets for maximum life.
Always keep flowers in fresh water and clean vases and away from sunlight.
Thanks for the tips, Chelsea!
