Order Roses Online: Hyb Musk1124
Bloomfield Dainty
This distinctive rose lost its tag in our growing field and was given the temporary nickname of "Buttercup" until it could be positively reidentified. It resembles that wildflower greatly, with cupped, single blossoms of bright yellow opening from long-pointed orangey buds. The slender, flexible canes make this a good candidate for a pillar rose, though it can be grown as a loose, informal bush as well. If grown as a climber, this rose will reach 6 to 8 feet.
4 to 5 feet Z6-9 R

Do you want a 10 per cent discount on your next weekend away, no strings attached? With planning and basic web-savvy, that's how much you could save if you currently buy your spending money in high street or airport bureaux de change. Even habitual credit and debit-card travellers could secure savings of about five per cent
In recent months, the popularity of prepaid foreign currency cards has increased. This new breed of plastic combines the budgeting advantage of travellers' cheques with the flexibility and security of a credit card.
Getting hold of one is easy for anyone with a UK bank account. Apply online, choose the currency in which you'd like your card denominated (euros, dollars), load it with funds from your current account and wait for it to drop through the letterbox (typically less than two weeks later).
Though the cards work exactly like a debit card, your pot of money remains separate from your current account, and so is safer to manage from an overseas internet connection. It's free for you (or someone else) to top up. Charges are easy to understand or non-existent. Compare this with the various "loading", transaction and cash withdrawal fees when you use most UK plastic overseas.
According to Peter Ralph, head of operations at MyTravelCash: "The popularity of prepaid currency cards has risen as trust in banks has tumbled." The company has seen applications double every month since the website started eight months ago. When I checked rates last week, a MyTravelCash prepaid MasterCard (0845 867 6496; www.mytravelcash.com) loaded with €500 cost £457.41. A FairFX Currency Card (www.fairfx.com), also MasterCard, costs a little less at £451.47. Travelex's Cash Passport Visa (0800 015 0401; www.cashpassport.com) costs £460.87 for €500, and its uptake has increased rapidly since it introduced extra denominations in South African rand and Australian, NZ and Canadian dollars.
Check the charges, however. Although it's free to use any of these cards to make purchases, ATM cash withdrawal fees differ: a flat €1.25/$1.50 per withdrawal with MyTravelCash, €1.50/$2 with FairFX, but zero with a Cash Passport. There's also a hidden plus for anyone flying with Ryanair. Currently, a prepaid MasterCard is the only plastic that doesn't incur a booking fee.
If you prefer to carry cash, online bureaus offer rates closer to the interbank "wholesale" rate than customers can access on the high street or airport – and better rates than the prepaid cards. Remember, though, most travel insurance policies only reimburse a limited amount of lost or stolen cash. You'll also get a replacement card quicker than an insurance claim for lost currency ("within 24 hours", according to Travelex).
Easy-to-use online exchange services include TMS (www.travelmoneyservices.co.uk), ICE (www.iceplc.com) and Best Foreign Exchange (www.bestforeignexchange.com). Ideally you should consult www.travelmoneymax.com before ordering to see which offers the best rate on the day, and to check whether any have branches conveniently located to avoid paying (typically £5) for secure delivery to your home or workplace.

At its core, the story in Best Friends, Thomas Bergers 22nd novel, is simple and ancient. Two men, one woman. Friendship and betrayal. Lust, despair and death. Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere. Mark, Tristram and Isolde. This time around, we recognize the outlines of the classic tale, but as in the best of Bergers previous novels Little Big Man, Neighbors, The Feud, Who Is Teddy Villanova? the tale is at once familiar, and more than slightly skewed.
Sam Grandy and Roy Courtright, both in their mid-30s, have been friends since childhood, despite their wildly divergent personalities. While Sam is a tubby, geeky, steak-and-potatoes spendthrift, married and seemingly happy in his unselfconscious hedonism, Roy is a handsome, weightlifting gourmand with an exotic-sports-car dealership and a deserved reputation as a skirt chaser. Two men who, in twenty years of friendship, had never shaken hands. When Sam ends up in the hospital with heart trouble, Roy and Kristin, Sams ambitious and accomplished wife (who has always been cool toward Roy), begin to see more and more of one another ostensibly out of mutual concern for Sam, but clearly with less magnanimous aims in their hearts.
Berger, who has always been at his best when helping his readers empathize with his characters all-too-recognizable flaws, here masterfully matches the books language with the arc of the tale: Roy, especially, is described in phrases perfectly tuned to his slow awakening as friend, lover, traitor and penitent. Early on, as Roy moves woodenly through his days and nights (one could hardly imagine a more cautious libertine), Bergers phrasing is impeccable, but oddly stilted. As Roys world turns upside down and he begins to glean the depth or rather, the lack of depth of his own self-absorption, the books language eases, as if physically and rhythmically thawing.
It would be easy to read Best Friends as a parable the unnamed town that serves as the setting is a fairy-tale melding of the bucolic and the urbane, of innocence and experience but it is, in fact, a compact, accomplished novel of ideas. That Bergers take on adultery, loyalty, friendship and myriad other intangibles is both deeply satirical and deeply felt is perhaps the books real wonder.

People will have seen the enormous crisis facing the British steel industry at the moment.
Attention has focused on the closure of the SSI plant in Redcar, where something like 2,000 people have lost their jobs.
People in Hartlepool are also affected by this, not just in terms of people who might have worked at SSI, but in terms of Caparo steel going into administration. This company has a facility in Hartlepool, and 200 people working at the plant face an uncertain future, although it is hopeful at this stage a new buyer could be found.
I chair the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee, and this week we held an inquiry into the issues facing the UK steel industry.
We took evidence from industry, unions, MPs and the Government Minister who has responsibility for the steel industry.
We on the Committee were left in no doubt about the gravity of the situation. More than 4,000 jobs have been lost since the summer.
The head of UK Steel said that the industry was "like a patient on the operating table. We are bleeding very quickly and unless it's stopped very soon we are likely to die."
Tata Steel, which has a steel pipe mill in Hartlepool, said that the company could not rule out further plant closures and job losses in the light of the crisis.
I'm not suggesting that the Government can wave a magic wand. There are big forces at work.
Overcapacity throughout the global steel industry has meant that steel prices have halved.
It is difficult for anybody to compete at the present time.
However, the UK piles on added costs to steel manufacturers through things like energy bills and business rate valuations.
You have the ludicrous situation where a steel plant might wish to invest in more productive machinery in order to compete more effectively, but would then face an increased business rate bill through enhancement of plant and machinery. No other European country would do that.
Steel companies simply want the Government to help level the playing field for them.
We were disappointed with the Government's response.
The problems with the industry have been understood for a long time. I like Anna Soubry, the Minister, a lot – I think she's a breath of fresh air – and I like the way in which she says she wants action rather than warm words.
Yet I'm afraid that warm words is all that the Select Committee and the steel industry really got. No decisive action is taking place.
The Government needs to act fast. We were told on the select committee that the true viability of the British steel industry and the timescale for its survival is being measured in weeks rather than years. Unless urgent action is taken now, a vital industry essential to many parts of British manufacturing as well as communities up and down the country, will be lost forever.

New York — Mr. T, Simone Biles and Nancy Kerrigan are among the competitors for the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars."
ABC announced the cast for the 24th season of the reality competition on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.
Other cast members include former "Saturday Night Live" star Chris Kattan, current "Bachelor" Nick Viall and singer Charo.
This season also marks the return of dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd after welcoming their first child together earlier this year.
Biles will look to follow in the footsteps of her U.S. gymnastics teammate Laurie Hernandez, who took home the show's Mirrorball Trophy as last season's champ.

June 2015 - Coral Princess to Alaska - Gulf of Alaska
Great ship. Avoid the Bayou Cafe.
This was our first cruise on Princess and our first to Alaska. The check in process was the best we've ever had. The ship was beautiful, clean and not crowded.
We loved our room which was more spacious than expected. Our cabin steward was fabulous.
The band "Opus" was great to dance and we followed them to every venue.
The Bayou Cafe was good at the lunch steam pot but we were warned by other passengers that they had really bad service for dinner there and took 2 hours to get their food. We figured it was an isolated incident. We were wrong. We arrived for our dinner reservation and our waiter continually ignored us to take care of tables that ordered wine and other extras. I tried repeatedly to get his attention to get refilled drinks and take our order. He finally brought an appetizer but it was terrible. After multiple attempts to get the waiter's attention I went to the Bayou maitre'd who said to just skip the appetizr and move on to the next course. He was unwilling to replace it and instead kept trying to redirect us. At the 1 hour mark without drink refills or food delivery I tried the Bayou maitre'd again. He just said food would be out soon. When we hit the 1 1/2 hour mark I went to the front desk to find a solution. When you pay extra for a meal, you expect good service. It was horrible. I met with the Maitre'd supervisor who moved us to the Italian restaurant, gave us a wonderful bottle of wine and the Italian Restaurant Maitre'd took such extraordinary care of us that we were beyond impressed. The food was better than anything we have in Orlando. I would recommend the Italian Restaurant to anyone. The food was amazing and so was the service.
We also had a problem with the safe in our cabin not working. It took several days and elevating the notification to the front desk to get it resolved.
The cruise was otherwise fabulous. The naturalist was impressive. The glaciers were amazing. The deck chairs were sooo comfortable. We look forward to using Princess Cruises more frequently.

April 29, 2013 | Daniella & Letisha Jones-EllisJohn Legend is back this summer with a new album!
It's been five years since we had a studio album release from the American singer, songwriter and musician, but lovers of the soulful artist can look forward to a June release, with his uplifiting vocals and thought provoking lyrics, sure to create anthems from Love in the Future.
The single 'Who Do We Think We Are', labelled as our song for the future is currently out now and it's included on the 2013 track listing. Featuring Rick Ross, the signature John Legend track is certainly pleasing to the ears, as on hearing the rnb ballad, it's as if he never left.
Although John's been away from the spotlight in solo music news, he has still been busy with charity work, collaborations with the likes of The Roots, G.O.O.D. Music and a track that featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie Django Unchained.
On this new project, he admits that his fiance has been a big influence on his songwriting these days, as you will notice a more positive outlook on relationships on Love In The Future, a big focus on love songs, but with the political and life learning topics still present; no cheating stories around here.
Here's John Legend and Rick Ross with 'Who Do We Think We Are'. Enjoy and see if you recognise the sample used in the track…

Shadow box card.....simple and easy to make.....the size of the card is 5 1/2 inch square. I used double sided card to make this shadow box.
The most fun part is to create the candy....Cricut had a cracker template.....re-sized the cracker to 2.5 inch x .75 inch....had a hard time to fold all the score lines since it was so tiny. The word Sweet was also cut from Cricut , added a heart to make it a SWEETHEART!! Final touch - bow, rhinestones and 3D glitter.
Now the card is ready
Sweet for My Sweetheart :)!!!!

I was immediately drawn to the reflections of a multi-tiered cosmos in [Sonya Kanelstrand's] work. She depicts earth, heaven, and the passages or transitional spaces between them. She appears to live in these transitional spaces, gently guiding the viewer here and there and showing possibilities of living in these spaces ourselves. Her dreamy images conjure theta states, the in-between place between wakefulness and sleep.
Sonya Shows us a Path between Earth and Heaven.
Many of Sonya's artworks reveal a connection between this world and the world of spirits and imagination. She illuminates the path. She dedicates herself to living on this path. The artist as shaman.
Beth McCormack
I am brought to tears. This [custom house portrait] is better than I could have ever dreamed it to be. This is so special you have no idea how thankful I am and how I know they will feel the same way I do. You've captured so much and I am so thankful to you!
Courtney Kaffenberger
Looking at your pictures seems to heal one's soul!!!
Nazaline McInnis
When I first found Sonya, I never even imagined the amazing connection that would be developed. Not only will I cherish her amazing artwork that she created of my nephew, but also the kind heart and dedication she put into making it. A month has passed since she finished my custom portrait, and three days have passed since my nephew left this world and she is still a huge support to me and my family. Her kind words and generous actions truly warm my heart. Thanks Sonya, I know Ethan, my moon child, lives on through your creation!
Jessica Davies-Lopez
I absolutely love everything about this image, it just makes me happy looking at it! Thanks so much!
Gina St. Phillips
Make sure to check out Sonya Kanelstrand's incredible work – it is a visible inspiration that will have all of us thinking and acting more creatively in our own lives!
Cat Ivins
Amazingly beautiful print!! I'm so pleased with everything about this purchase. Fast shipping and friendly communication were an extra bonus. Thank you so much!

Substantive and Non-Substantive Rates in the RCN
Lieutenant-Commander (retired) David J. Freeman is a naval historian and researcher. He is the author of Canadian Warship Names, and will soon be publishing Badges of Distinction, a book about unofficial badges of the Canadian Navy.
A killick is a small anchor. It's also a slang term for a Leading Seaman, derived from the fact that Leading Seamen once wore a small patch with one anchor on it to indicate their rank. This insignia is no longer used for this rank in the RCN.
Substantive and Non-Substantive Rates in the RCN
The following terms have been in use in the RCN for many generations -
. substantive;
. non-substantive;
. rank;
. rate;
. rating;
. promotion;
. advancement.
Unfortunately, these terms have often been misused, creating confusion. The purpose of this short article is to correctly define these terms and give examples of their proper usage, information that should prove useful when reading documents pertaining to naval personnel.
In 1910, with the formation of the Canadian Naval Service and based on the system then in use by the Royal Navy, there were two types of personnel, all male: officers and enlisted personnel. Officers held the King's commission and wore a double-breasted jacket with eight gold buttons and gold stripes on the lower part of each sleeve. Enlisted personnel were also known and referred to as 'ratings' or 'other ranks'.
As defined in subsection (xl) of King's Regulations, Canadian Navy [KRCN], Article 1.02., rating is here defined as "the substantive status of a person in the Naval Forces other than an officer." The word "substantive" therefore, refers only to "other ranks" and not to officers, and refers to the rank held by a given individual.
The substantive naval ranks (as noted in Article 8.12 of King's Regulations, Canadian Navy [KRCN], Chapter 8 - Advancement of men in Substantive Rating), from lowest to highest, were:
~ Able Seaman
~ Leading Seaman
~ Petty Officer
~ Chief Petty Officer.
With the rank of Ordinary Seaman included – a rank allocated to men in training - the navy had a total of five ranks for enlisted personnel.
Under the National Defence Act of 1949 that included all three armed services, the navy was required to match the rank structure of the Army and Air Force by creating two additional ranks, making seven ranks for enlisted personnel.
Petty Officer and Chief Petty Officer substantive ranks were divided into two classes:
~ Chief Petty Officer First Class (abbreviated as CPO1)
~ Chief Petty Officer Second Class or CPO2
~ Petty Officer First Class or PO1
~ Petty Officer Second Class or PO2.
For Chief Petty Officers, their rank insignia consisted of three gold buttons worn on the lower part of both sleeves. Their trade badges were worn on the front of each collar. When the rank was introduced, a CPO1 wore three gold buttons with a crown above the middle button, and a CPO2 retained just the three buttons. A CPO1 and 2 wore trade badges on each side of the collar on their jackets.
A Petty Officers First Class wore two crossed anchors topped by a crown. His uniform consisted of a double-breasted jacket with six buttons. In 1949, there was no change to his rank badge. When the rank of Petty Officer Second Class was introduced, the PO2 retained the uniform he wore as a Leading Seaman, e.g. he continued to be dressed "as a seaman", and his rank badge consisted of just the two crossed anchors on his left sleeve.
A Leading Seaman wore a single anchor on his sleeve. Ordinary and Able Seamen had no rank badges, just a trade badge on the right arm for those so qualified.
The Officer in Charge of the RCN [Manning] Depot - there was one on each coast - was to maintain "a roster of candidates for advancement to leading rating and above" (King's Regulations, Canadian Navy [KRCN], Chapter 8 - Advancement of men in Substantive Rating). In this case, the term 'advancement' would mean "promotion" to a higher substantive rank. Similarly, for misdemeanors and as a punishment, a man could be "demoted" to a lower rank.
A non-substantive rate was different from a rank. Non-substantive rates were grouped according to their duties as follows: (i) Gunnery, (ii) Torpedo, (iii) Ant-Submarine, (iv) Radar Plotter, etc., [up to] (x) Miscellaneous (Article 9.01 of KRCN, Chapter 9 - Advancement of men in Non-Substantive Rating). Such groups were then known as Trades and today in the navy they are known as Occupations. Officers did not have 'trades' they had 'branches', e.g. Medical, Pay, Engineering, Executive, and sub branches, e.g. in the Executive Branch, Navigation, Communications, Gunnery, etc.
After 1950, most trades consisted of four levels of skill and experience, the lowest being Trade Group One, the highest being Trade Group Four. Generally, a man had to be qualified by training, experience and time at sea in his rank and his Trade Group to be considered for promotion to a higher substantive rank. Before 1950, each Trade had its own system of skill and experience levels.
Within each Trade there were sub divisions, e.g. in Gunnery, there was Layer Rate, Quarter Rate, Anti-Aircraft, Gunnery Instructor, etc.
Within certain trades, a Chief Petty Officer was known by his title and not his actual rank, e.g. Chief Yeoman (the senior Signalman) and Master at Arms (senior Regulator), were two such "ranks".
To sum up, men were promoted in [substantive] 'rank' as shown by the rank badge worn on the left sleeve of their uniform; and were advanced in their trade [Non-substantive 'rate'] as shown by the trade badge worn on the right sleeve of their uniform. The position on the uniform of such rank and trade badges applied to Petty Officers and below.
Prior to 1950, an individual's Trade Group level could be visually seen by the number and position of stars on the trade badge, above or below the device used to indicate the branch. After 1950, these stars disappeared and only one trade badge design was worn by all ranks.
The chevrons worn on the left sleeve by Petty Officer First Class and below indicated a person's "Good Conduct" time in the service. Such chevrons were not related to a man's rank or his trade. The time in rank for the awarding of such chevrons - and the increase in pay that went with them - changed over the years.
After 1950, the first chevron was awarded for three years of "good conduct"; the second for a further five years and the third for a further five years after that, for a total of 13 years of service. Chief Petty Officers - and Ordinary Seamen - did not wear chevrons, the former because he was considered to have good character or he would not been promoted to that rank; and the latter because six months after completing basic training in STADACONA, NADEN or CORNWALLIS, he was generally promoted to Able Seaman.
During the Second World War, the same system applied to members of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (W.R.C.N.S.) They too had five ranks for enlisted personnel: Probationary Wren (basically, a recruit under training), Wren, Leading Wren, Wren Petty Officer, and Wren Chief Petty Officer. Again, the rank titles varied somewhat depending on the trade, e.g. Wren master at Arms.

The big alarm my rich daddy was called by the Law accepted in 1974 on safety of the pension income of the workers, received name ERISA. The rich daddy warned: itIn passage ERISA through the Congress the majority of people at all did not suspect about its existence. And today many concepts have no that such law has been approved in due time by the Congress and signed by president Nixon. Consequences of this law will to the full be shown only years through twenty five, and even all fifty when I any more will not be in this world. If I only could convince people to start to prepare for them already today... But how I can convince them what happens in the future?it
In January, 2002 the people of the United States which yet have not recovered from a shock on September, 11th, 2001, news about bankruptcy of one of the largest companies itblue countersit in America has amazed. But more than news about the bankruptcy, many representatives of my generation so-called "bebi-bumerov", generations of the people who were born in a population explosion between 1946 and 1964 years, was stunned with that thousand employees of corporation "Enron" have completely lost the pension savings. For the first time for the life millions bebi-bumerov have realised that plans 401 (k), IRA and to it the similar pension plans fastened on mutual funds and actions of the companies where they work, is far not so are reliable, as they thought and as they were assured by the diplomaed experts in financial planning. At millions bebi-bumerov much in common with thousand the people working on itEnronit. Crash of this corporation became for them a disturbing call, has called the attack of fear connected with comprehension of that their own old age can appear not such provided as they once thought. The prophecy of the rich daddy starts to come true.
To me have called from a local television broadcasting station and have asked, whether I can come and comment on bankruptcy itEnronit, the former world leader of the oil and gas industry. The nice very young TV presenter has asked me a question: it whether It is possible to consider bankruptcy itEnronit as a single instance?

- The Rescuers Down Under has Marahute the eagle trapped under rope, who when Cody arrives to free her, and takes out a knife, Marahute seems to (temporarily) interpret this as an attempt to wound or kill her rather than to free her.
- In Lady and the Tramp, The Tramp kills a rat that got into the baby's room. During the fight however, the baby's crib gets knocked over. When Aunt Sarah comes in and sees the overturned crib, and not the rat's body, she assumes that the Tramp was after the baby, and turns him over to the pound to be euthanized.
Films - Live Action

- During Austin Powers in Goldmember, Austin returns to his hotel room to find Mini-Me grinning at him while holding up a letter opener. The audience knows that Mini-Me is here because he defected from Dr. Evil (the "help") and that he was just using the letter opener to open some mail, but Austin immediately reads it as an ambush (the "attack").
- In A Brother's Price something like this ensues when Cira offers Jerin her help. Unsurprisingly, as he had seen her working together with his kidnappers. She had been infiltrating them.

- In the Wings of Fire series, MudWing dragons help their siblings hatch by breaking open their eggshells. Other dragons, though, think of this as an attack.
- Harry Potter:
- This is a common mistake made concerning Professor Snape's interaction with Harry Potter, particularly in the first book; due to Snape's harsh treatment of Harry, everyone quickly assumes that such actions as Snape staring at Harry's jerking broom muttering to himself are Snape jinxing the broom, but it is finally revealed that he was actually acting to protect Harry from Voldemort's forces in memory of the debt he owed Harry's father and his own affection for Harry's mother.
- In the fifth book, Harry and Dudley get attacked by Dementors who drain their happiness and energy. Harry fights them off and pulls Dudley to safety.

- In The Wheel of Time, some adherents of the Prophet assaults some riders, believing that the men were pursuing the women riding in front of them with hostile intent, when they were in fact friends and members of the same group, and were just riding behind them.

- In the Sweet Valley High book Nowhere To Run, Emily Mayer's saves her baby half-sister from choking.

- Blue Bloods has an episode in which a homeless man with mental issues is arrested after a surveillance tape shows him tossing a teenage girl into a subway train, killing her.

He's horrified to realize his mistake and feels even worse when he's cleared of any wrongdoing.
- Played with in Aloe Blacc's video for "Hello World". It focuses on a number of people in hoodies who are acting suspicious- but are actually trying to help people.
- The song "Beep Beep" by The Playmates has the driver of a Cadillac mistaking a Nash Rambler's horn honking for being challenged to a drag race. When they reach speeds of 120 mph, the driver of the Nash Ramber catches up and rolls down his window to ask how to get his car out of second gear.
Stand-Up Comedy
- John Mulaney has a bit about this (except that the person who he thinks is helping him thinks he's attacking them). He was waiting for a train in the New York Subway at 2 am, when a woman starts walking away. He assumes that the woman heard the train on another platform and starts following her. They start walking faster and faster until she starts running and he runs after her. It's only then that he realizes that she thinks he's going to attack her and is trying to get away from him.
Video Games
- In X3: Terran Conflict and X3: Albion Prelude, the player's space suit is equipped with a repair laser for patching up hull damage (otherwise you have to pay a shipyard to have it fixed, and that can be prohibitively expensive in the early game). Mechanically it works by going through shields and dealing negative hull damage. Thing is, the game still treats it as a weapon, so if you use it on ships you don't own they'll react as if they're being attacked, and Hilarity Ensues.
- In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Terra's penchant for saying "Unversed!" whenever said monsters show up gets him in trouble when he's trying to talk to Snow White. She mistakenly assumes that Terra is summoning the Unversed to attack her when actually he's trying to warn her that they're coming.
Western Animation
- Spider-Man Unlimited: In the first episode, Spider-Man has become an even bigger Hero with Bad Publicity than usual, being blamed for the apparent death of John Jameson. It's taken to the extent that when he saves someone from a burning building, the fire department promptly blast him with riot hoses and accuse him of being the one to start said fire, and when Spidey pushes one of the firemen out of the way of falling debris and ends up being buried under the rubble and presumed dead, said fireman later goes on TV, claiming that Spidey was actually trying to attack him, and the collapsing building saved his life.
- In The Ren & Stimpy Show episode "A Visit to Anthony", after the eponymous Anthony is beaten up by a bully, Ren and Stimpy try to help revive him, but his dad sees them and assumes they beat Anthony up.
- In the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode "If it Smells Like an Ed", the Eds discover Johnny hogtied. The Kids arrive shortly after and think their attempts at untying him are actually them tying him up themselves.
- Alice's first appearance on The Critic ends up this way. Jay passes by her and her daughter, Penny struggling to carry her groceries in the rain, when someone bumps into her causing her to drop them. Jay feels bad for them and goes over to offer to share his cab ride. When Alice sees him approaching, she douses him with pepper spray. Luckily, Jay is not phased by it (he notes that it tastes like jalapeño), and Alice quickly apologizes when she realizes he's trying to help.
Alice: I hate being unfriendly, but this is New York.

Sharia In Swat
Pakistan's government has agreed to pull troops out of a valley in the north-west under a peace agreement signed with pro-Taleban militants.
The authorities say they will also allow the militants to impose Sharia law in Swat in return for promises to close training camps and end attacks.
The move is part of efforts by the new government to end violence in the area.
Let's ignore for the moment the vast security implications of this move (for one thing, I doubt the U.S. will let it last, one way or the other). Think, instead, about it what it represents - the caving in by the government to militants in an area under the jurisdiction of the state and government of Pakistan.
I have had many, many arguments on this issue over the last two or three years. The most common refrain I have heard centers on the following three claims:
1. They are our people.
2. They wouldn't be attacking us if our troops and military would leave them alone.
Isn't this news somewhat damaging for that argument? If the militants have negotiated to impose Sharia law in Swat - essentially the government has agreed to formally withdraw its writ from the area - doesn't that mean the militants have expansionist motives? If they had purely defensive motives, wouldn't they want autonomy only in the tribal areas of Waziristan or FATA generally, the areas where they have historically enjoyed autonomy? Doesn't the fact that they've pushed their autonomy into areas universally recognized - until now - as purely Pakistani territory say something about what their goals are?

Microsoft Windows Home Serverposted in Hardware, Internet, IT News, Software |
Microsoft's Windows Home Service has been released to manufacturing (RTM). The announcement came roughly one month after Microsoft delivered a Release Candidate version of the software to testers.
Over 100,000 people tested the "coolest version of Windows ever" according to Windows Home Server General Manager Charlie Kindel.
Windows Home Server can be used on any home network and can be used to store music and photos, provide automated network backups for connected PCs and provide secure remote access from anywhere in the world.
Windows Home Server is based on Windows Server 2003 and will be available as a standalone OEM software package to be installed on compatible PCs (Microsoft recommends using a 64-bit enabled processor, but it is not required) or as an all-in-one hardware solution.
"It started with a vision that an always available device on the home network was an essential ingredient of a Microsoft platform for the home," said Kindel. "At first there was only one of us, then three, then five… We put together a plan for a plan and executed. The result was an ambitious, yet pragmatic product plan that would deliver real value to consumers."
Microsoft has cited "early fall, late September and early October" for the retail launch of Windows Home Server-based hardware. HP's MediaSmart Server will lead the charge with the others following in lockstep.
"We'll keep moving forward," said Windows Home Server Senior Product Manager Joel Sider. "There will certainly be future versions of WHS."

Skip to comments.SEIU, Fighting for Living Wages, Enjoys Some Nice Standards of Living
Posted on 05/09/2011 1:09:25 PM PDT by Nachum
As part of our ongoing research effort into the smear-campaign conducted against Sodexo, we recently came accross a sizeable bit of information that might be of interest to all party in this affair. It so happens that there is an online record of all financial activities at the SEIU. While it would be a laudable step towards transparency if it could be found anywhere else than on a federal website, it does have the merit of telling us a bit more about SEIU than its official communication for which it spends hefty sums will let you believe. Of course weve taken upon us to share that information with you and it is sure to be a recurring topic in the coming days.
In light of the information present in these documents, it appears quite amusing that among the many, more or less founded, accusations leveled against Sodexo, one stands first and foremost, the alleged poverty wages the company pays. Note that neither SEIU nor USAS ever said Sodexo was paying its workers under the legal minimum-wage, because that would be wrong. No, the rethorical trick here is to give the illusion that Sodexo workers are being paid sub-standards wages when, in fact, they receive wages equal or superior to the legal minimum.
Well then, its certainly not so bad of SEIU and puppet-organization USAS to try and promote higher wages for Sodexo Employees, is it? Of course it isnt, and were pretty sure Sodexo workers wouldnt mind a few more bucks at the end of the month unless it costs them their jobs. Yet, where it gets funny is when one looks at the living wages being paid at SEIUs headquarters.

I can't hardly stand how sweet this owl is!!
I colored her up and cut her out.
Next I stamped the wreath on a circle that I
had cut using a stitched circle from
Lawn Fawn. I colored the wreath in, outlined
it with some airy blues, and then made a
glowing yellow center for the owl to
bask in all her glory!
Cut out a banner and a bow from the stamp set.
Used a few components of my Blueprints sets

text: Hey guys, Up for sale is my Gallien Krueger rig which is comprised of a GK 700RBII and a GK Neo 4x10. Both are in perfect operating condition, and both are in about 8/10 cosmetic condition. Overall, I like this rig a good deal as it's the perfect balance between transportability, power, and tone, but I tend to find myself favoring my Aguilar rig just a little bit more I also have a GK speakon cable to connect the two together which I'll throw into any deal as well. I'd really like to try and sell the two together, but seeing as I'd rather not ship the cab this might prove to be very difficult. I can also meet up with anyone anywhere in Tennessee who's willing to meet me halfway from wherever they are located. Here are a couple pics of the 4x10 from its last owner: {} {} Asking (ConUS only, please): [DEL]700RBII - $300 plus shipping[/DEL] sold! Neo 4x10 - $350. I'd rather not ship, but if you cover all shipping charges then I might be able to make it happen Thanks!

New In: Nike Air Force 1
Nike's Air Force 1 trainers: the newest edition to my shoe cupboard.
I must admit, I'm not a huge sneakerhead. In my heel:flat shoe proportion, the former hugely outweighs the latter. But I do appreciate a good trainer every once in a while. The first pair I ever bought were all black bar a white sole etched with an image of a geisha - definitely not for wearing while pounding the pavements on a Sunday jog.
For me, trainers are not for the gym. The idea of wearing these whilst exercising seems preposterous to me - even the thought of marking the beautiful white exterior makes me cringe.
So, no doubt, these will stay in my shoe cupboard until such time as I am confident to release them into the big wide world. Wish me luck.

Melbourne Water has played a significant role in Melbourne's development, from creating our underground sewerage system in the 1890s to completing Thomson Reservoir, Melbourne's largest water supply reservoir in 1984.
Today, we are responsible for a rich and diverse portfolio of heritage assets which we inherited largely from our predecessor, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works. Many of these assets were built in the formative years of Melbourne's settlement.
But our commitment to preserving heritage goes beyond built structures. It extends to respecting the cultural heritage places of the Traditional Owners of the land, rivers and creeks that we care for today, and that we are ever-mindful of the importance they have for our indigenous communities.

Sony Online Entertainment has added a new section to the official PlanetSide 2 site called the "Roadmap". The Roadmap will not only give players a chance to see what changes will be down the road for the game, but also to vote on what they'd like to see implemented.
Basically, changes will be up- and down-voted by gamers, and the most up-voted ideas will be given a priority.
SOE CEO John Smedley stated on Reddit, "It's just a simple tool for us to be able to gauge sentiment about a particular topic. Remember it's still a forum thread (although with cool nested comments) and we'll still be reading what people are actually saying. However if we list 5 topics for February and people highly vote 4 of those 5 and everyone hates on one of the ideas, it's fair to say that's going to get our attention."
SOE will also be adding a Suggestion area as well in the "near future". Stay tuned.

Based out of San Francisco, Ryan De La Hoz is an artist that mostly works with ink of paper. And the results are clean lines with starkly contrasted colors. Much of his work has themes of death and sorcery; even the optical illusions that he somehow creates play tricks on your eyes. This past November, De La Hoz had an installation titled "I Saw My Future."

simmer, to
- To keep a liquid at a temperature just below boiling point around 95 to 97°C for pure water, but around 87°C for meat. The heat input necessary to maintain this temperature with a heat source under the pan will cause slight movement of the surface of the liquid but no evolution of steam bubbles. The lower temperature is best for extracting the maximum flavour from meat, bones and vegetables as in making stock, but speed of extraction is increased with temperature.

Fruits are probably one of the healthiest categories of foods that our body needs in order to function in optimal conditions. Though most fruit is relatively affordable, there are a few rare and specially cultivated fruits that will cost much more than the ordinary store bought fruit. Research has shown that eating at least one fruit a day reduces the risk of getting chronic diseases. Fruits contain nutrients needed by the body such as vitamins, minerals and fiber. Fruits do not contain cholesterol so you can rest easy knowing that you are not clogging your arteries and subjecting yourself to cholesterol-related illnesses. Let us take a look at some of the most expensive fruits in the world.
List of Top 10 Most Expensive Fruits in The World in 2017
10. Buddha shaped pears ($9)
These are literally pears that are shaped like Buddhas. They are grown in China. Te farmer who started growing these pears is called Hao and he molded them to look like the stature of Buddha. Rumor has it that once you eat these fruits, you could get immortality because the Lord Buddha represents immortality but it is not a proven fact. The Buddha pears are very popular around the world and people order them online and get them shipped to different countries. The nutritional value of this fruit is the same as that of ordinary pears which are rich in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant nutrients. The Buddha pear will set you back $9.
9. Sekai ichi apples ($21)
These apples come from Japan. These are the most expensive apples in the world. They are slightly larger than ordinary apples the words Sekai ichi means the number one. The apples started being cultivated 40 years ago. They weigh 2 pounds a fruit. The fruit contains vitamin c and is high in fiber. The apples are good for eating raw as they are a bit firm. One costs $21.
8. Dekopon citrus ($80)
These oranges are a cross breed of mandarins and oranges and they are mostly grown in Japan. They are much sweeter than the ordinary oranges and they are seedless too. This fruit is described as the world's sweetest citrus fruit. They are larger in size than the natural oranges as well. They are very rich in vitamin C which helps keep the immunity strong. Half a dozen of these fruits cost $80.
7. Sembikiya queen strawberries ($85)
This is a luxurious type of strawberry that is sure to leave you begging for more. They have a gorgeous appearance and taste the part too. They are grown in Japan and sold in shops and packaged like jewelry showing just how valuable they are. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and fiber as well as potassium and manganese. One can eat them as is or make a delicious dessert out of it. The fruits cost $85 per pack.
6. Square Watermelon ($200)
These oddly shaped watermelons are from Japan. What makes the fruits square is that they are grown in a square mold hence they grown into the shape of the mold. The fruits weigh about 13 pounds. Watermelon is a good source of vitamin B, vitamin C and Vitamin A. the fruit also has a high level of lycopene which is good for your heart and also aids in the prevention of prostate cancer. The Square melons are exported all over the world with one going for between $150-$200 depending on how much it weighs.
5. Pineapples from the lost Gardens of Heligan ($1600)
This is one amongst the Top 10 Most Expensive Fruits in The World 2017. The lost Gardens of Heligan are found in England. This is one of the most spectacular destinations in England. They use Victorian techniques to cultivate these pineapples. They are grown and groomed in two years under shade and they use horse urine manure. They are grown in cold climate hence making it very labor intensive to cultivate. They normally do not sell the fruits but if they were to put a price tag on them they would go for $1600 according to their website.
4. Taiyo no Tamago Mangoes ($3000)
These egg shaped mangoes are grown in Japan. The words "Taiyo no Tamago" means "egg of the Sun." they weigh more than a regular mango and are grown under strict observation. They are much sweeter as well. Mangoes are considered to be one of the most liked fruits in the world but these rare kinds exceed in quality. A pair of these goes for $3000.
3. Ruby Roman grapes ($4000)
Again these rare species of grapes is found in Japan. The Japanese folk have really invested in the cultivation of fruits. Almost all the luxury fruits come from there. They started cultivating these species of grapes in 2008. The grapes are larger than the normal grapes but because of how rare they are it makes them expensive. Just one grape cost $910 and a bunch of the grapes cost $4000.
2. Densuke Watermelon ($6000)
The Densuke Melon is one of the most expensive breed of melons. The top skin is black and dark green in color and it is grown in Japan. They are grown in an Island in Japan called Hokkaido. They are normally sweeter than the ordinary melons. On average the fruit weighs about 24 pounds. The fruit was once sold for a stunning $6100 during an auction.
1. Yubari Melon ($12000)
This is the most expensive melon and fruit in the world. The Yubari King melon is also grown in Japan in the island of Hokkaido. The melon is reported to taste spicy and sweet at the same time. Due to the rare nature of these fruit, they are only bought by the elite people and often given as gifts in Japan because of their fruit gifting culture. The inside of these melons is orange with a soft pulp. A pair of Yubari King Melons goes for $12,000.
These above are the Top 10 Most Expensive Fruits in The World 2017. Japan leads the world in the production of luxury fruits as they value fruits very much in their country. If you are lucky to travel there, a taste of these exotic and rare fruits would be an exhilarating experience. Luxury eating is an expensive affair but it is well worth it if the fruit is rare in nature.

What are some good topics to converse on your first date? especially if it's a blind date. I tend to become quiet, ackward and uncomfortable during first dates because I get so damn nervous/shy about meeting new people. What discussions bring out the most of his/her personality? Nothing too serious. Just light, fun and general topics.
Here are the top 10 first date conversation starters and tips you need to know.
Personal tastes
As John Cusack proselytized in High Fidelity , on a date, "it's what you like and not what you are like that matters." That means movies, music, books, food, and all manner of consumables subject to personal preference. You can get great conversation going with this, and even stumble on things you have in common.
No talk of exes.
Either hers or yours. This is one topic that definitely does not lend itself to a happy, convivial first date atmosphere. Talking about exes inevitably brings in shades of bitterness, anger and animosity, all feelings you should avoid at all costs on a first date.
Listen as much or more than you talk.
Some people consider themselves skilled communicators because they can talk endlessly. But the ability to speak is only one part of the equation—and not the most important part.
Discuss current events
Making small talk about the news, sports or your community can help you understand her knowledge and interests in a variety of topics; however, do exercise caution and keep the conversation positive.
Movies and TV!
Current movies can be a great way to get the ball rolling in a conversation. You can see if they're interested in heavy topics or lighthearted comedies.

I made ham salad (along with ham mac and cheese-which I liked-but the kids didn't) tonight as I made dinner. I remember loving ham salad as a kid but I hadn't had a way to make it. But, we had a lot leftover ham-we bought a big ham on sale last week-had it for dinner Tuesday night. I served leftovers to Mama for lunch and dinner yesterday. Then tonight in the mac cheese-then made the ham salad.
Here is how-
Chopped/ground the ham in the Cuisinart chopper/grinder thing. It came out very fine. Then chopped a stalk of celery and an onion in there as well. Mixed with mayonnaise, relish. I may add a bit of mustard and more mayo in the morning. Perhaps a bit of Worcestershire sauce. We will see.

Download Toddler Telephone apk 1.1 free for Android smartphone
Posted by Colorwork Apps in Media & Video | Dec. 15, 2013 | 1 Comments
Apk file size: 5.1 MB
Toddler Telephone has over ten activities that will entertain your toddler and maybe even teach him a thing or two! Kids can swipe the page to the left or right to open different activities, all of which are extremely simple for kids to interact with.
Toddler Telephone has no ads and does not connect to the internet.
Toddler Telephone has different activity pages for:
FARM ANIMALS: Hear realistic farm animal sounds from everyone's favorites – the cow, chicken, owl, horse, dog, cat, pig, sheep, and goat. When one of the animal buttons is pushed, a quick animation will bring the animal to the top of the screen.
NUMBERS: Learn numbers 1-9 read by a female voice. The numbers are actually animals in disguise. Check out the octopus!
PIANO MUSIC: Listen to a classical tune (that will not drive parents crazy!). The piano jumps up and down as it plays. Click the piano to turn it on and off.
DRESS THE GIRAFFE: In one of six adorable costumes, like a fairy or a pirate! This is the developer's favorite page.
ZOO ANIMALS: Lions, Tigers, and Bears! And their close friends the monkey, the elephant, and the peacock. Hear realistic sounds when the animal buttons are pushed.
DRESS THE PENGUIN: In six different adorable costumes, like Hawaiian and sorcerer costumes. What toddler doesn't love a penguin?
HOUSE: Turn on the lights by pressing the windows, or push the doorbell. The doorbell may ultimately be your toddler's favorite button.
SHAPES: Hear a male voice teach you the basic shapes, likes squares, circles, and triangles.
CELLO MUSIC: Yay Bach! You will surely recognize the gentle cello song, which you can watch as the cello animates while the music plays.
COLORS: Red, Blue, Green,… You get the idea! A male voice will teach your child the basic colors.
ELECTRIC EEL: When you touch the eel, the phone vibrates and the eel does a quick little animation.
This app does not have a child lock. Why?!? Because they don't work well across all devices. Child locks work
perfectly well for some devices, but cause enormous problems on other devices. Search for "child lock" or "secure kids lock" for several free options and choose the one that works best with your device.
More activity pages will be added as the app is downloaded. Thank you and enjoy Toddler Telephone!

Lambeth Hochwald had a great article in Entrepreneur Magazine on Jan Perry, the general manager of the Economic and Workforce Development Department for Los Angeles. Perry's main focus has been on helping military veterans and the homeless find jobs. No doubt a lot of librarians can relate to this.
What was Perry's take on entrepreneurs?
"Entrepreneurs are a unique breed of people who can translate their visions into reality, and government can be a catalyst for them."
How are libraries acting as catalysts for entrepreneurs? I would love to learn what you think.
