Lorenzo set for Japan despite concerns
Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo will contest next month's Japanese MotoGP at Motegi after his Yamaha team confirmed their "full attendance" for the event.
Lorenzo, along with current series leader Casey Stoner and multiple champion Valentino Rossi, had previously expressed reservations about racing in Japan owing to safety fears in the wake of March's earthquake, tsunami and nuclear emergency.
The high-profile trio were widely expected to pull out of the race, but in a statement on Monday Yamaha confirmed Lorenzo would make the trip to the team's homeland.
"Yamaha Factory Racing herewith confirms the attendance of its riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies to compete for round 15 of the 2011 MotoGP World Championship at Motegi in Japan on 2nd October," the statement read.
Motorcycling's world governing body, the FIM, confirmed last month that the Japanese Grand Prix, which has been rescheduled from its original date of April 24, would go ahead as planned.
That decision came after the FIM commissioned an independent report to investigate the "general situation" in Japan following the disaster which hit the country six months ago.
The report - which looked at radiation levels from a number of sources including air, environment and food - claimed that "the radiation risk during the race event is negligible".
The Motegi circuit is situated less than 100 miles from the site of the Fukushima nuclear plant, which suffered meltdowns and nuclear leaks in the wake of the devastating magnitude 9.0 quake and subsequent tsunami on March 11.

Imperialism, as defined by the Dictionary of Human Geography, is "an unequal human and territorial relationship, usually in the form of an empire, based on ideas of superiority and practices of dominance, and involving the extension of authority and control of one state or people over another."[2] Lewis Samuel Feuer identifies two major subtypes of imperialism; the first is the "regressive imperialism" identified with pure conquest, unequivocal exploitation, extermination or reductions of undesired peoples, and settlement of desired peoples into those territories.[3] The second type identified by Feuer is "progressive imperialism" that is founded upon a cosmopolitan view of humanity, that promotes the spread of civilization to allegedly backward societies to elevate living standards and culture in conquered territories, and allowance of a conquered people to assimilate into the imperial society, an example being the British Empire which claimed to give their "citizens" a number of advantages. [4]
The term as such primarily has been applied to Western political and economic dominance in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some writers, such as Edward Said, use the term more broadly to describe any system of domination and subordination organized with an imperial center and a periphery.[5] According to Marxist theorist Vladimir Lenin, imperialism is a natural feature of a developed capitalist nation state as it matures into monopoly capitalism. In his work Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin observed that as capitalism matured in the Western world, the economy shifted away from real commodity production towards banking and finance, as commodity production was outsourced to the empires' colonies. Lenin concluded that the competition between empires and the unfettered drive to maximise profit would lead to wars between the empires themselves, such as World War I in his contemporary time, as well as continued future military invasions and occupations in the undeveloped world to establish and expand markets and exploit cheap labour for the monopolist corporations of the empires.
It is mostly accepted that modern-day colonialism is an expression of imperialism and cannot exist without the latter. The extent to which "informal" imperialism with no formal colonies is properly described as such remains a controversial topic among historians.[6]
The word imperialism became common in the United Kingdom in the 1870s and was used with a negative connotation.[7] In Great Britain, the word had until then mostly been used to refer to the politics of Napoléon III of obtaining favorable public opinion in France through military interventions outside France.[7]
Imperialism has been found in the histories of Japan, the Assyrian Empire, the Chinese Empire, the Roman Empire, Greece, the Byzantine Empire, the Persian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, ancient Egypt, the British Empire and India. Imperialism was a basic component to the conquests of Genghis Khan during the Mongol Empire, and other war-lords. Historically recognized Muslim empires number in the dozens. Sub-Saharan Africa has also had dozens of empires that pre-date the European colonial era, for example the Ethiopian Empire, Oyo Empire, Asante Union, Luba Empire, Lunda Empire and Mutapa Empire. The Americas during the pre-Columbian era also had large empires such as the Aztec and the Inca.
Although normally used to imply forcible imposition of a more powerful foreign government's control on a weaker country, or over conquered territory that was previously without a unified government, "imperialism" is sometimes also used to describe loose or indirect political or economic influence or control of weak states by more powerful ones.[8] If the dominant country's influence is felt in social and cultural circles, such as "foreign" music being popular with young people, it may be described as cultural imperialism.
"Imperialism has been subject to moral or immoral censure by its critics, and thus the term is frequently used in international propaganda as a pejorative for expansionist and aggressive foreign policy."[8]
Colonialism vs. Imperialism[edit]
The term "imperialism" should not be confused with "colonialism". Robert Young writes that imperialism operates from the center, it is a state policy, and is developed for ideological as well as financial reasons whereas colonialism is nothing more than development for settlement or commercial intentions.[further explanation needed][9]
Age of Imperialism[edit]
The Age of Imperialism was a time period beginning around 1700 when modern, relatively developed nations were taking over less developed areas, colonizing them, or influencing them in order to expand their own power. Although imperialist practices have existed for thousands of years, the term "Age of Imperialism" generally refers to the activities of nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States in the early 18th through the middle 20th centuries, e.g., the "The Great Game" in Persian lands, the "Scramble for Africa" and the "Open Door Policy" in China.[10][11]
The ideas of imperialism were put forward by historians John Gallagher and Ronald Robinson during the 20th century. European imperialism was influential, and Europeans rejected the notion that "imperialism" required formal, legal control by one government over another country. "In their view, historians have been mesmerized by formal empire and maps of the world with regions colored red. The bulk of British emigration, trade, and capital went to areas outside the formal British Empire. A key to the thought of Robinson and Gallagher is the idea of empire 'informally if possible and formally if necessary.'"[attribution needed][12] Because of British Imperialism, the world's economy grew before World War I, making Britain a dominant financial force.[13]
Europe's expansion into territorial imperialism had much to do with the great economic benefit from collecting resources from colonies, in combination with assuming political control often by military means. Most notably, the "British exploited the political weakness of the Mughal state, and, while military activity was important at various times, the economic and administrative incorporation of local elites was also of crucial significance". Although a substantial number of colonies had been designed or subject to provide economic profit (mostly through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), Fieldhouse suggests that in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in places such as Africa and Asia, this idea is not necessarily valid:[14]
Modern empires were not artificially constructed economic machines. The second expansion of Europe was a complex historical process in which political, social and emotional forces in Europe and on the periphery were more influential than calculated imperialism. Individual colonies might serve an economic purpose; collectively no empire had any definable function, economic or otherwise. Empires represented only a particular phase in the ever-changing relationship of Europe with the rest of the world: analogies with industrial systems or investment in real estate were simply misleading.[15]
During this time, European merchants had the ability to "roam the high seas and appropriate surpluses from around the world (sometimes peaceably, sometimes violently) and to concentrate them in Europe."[16]
European expansion accelerated greatly in the 19th century. To obtain raw materials, Europe began importing them from other countries. Europeans sought raw materials such as dyes, cotton, vegetable oils, and metal ores from overseas. Europe was being transformed into the manufacturing center of the world.[17]
Communication became much more advanced during the European expansion. The invention of railroads and telegraphs made it easier to communicate with other countries. Railroads assisted in transporting goods and in supplying large armies.[17]
Along with advancements in communication, Europe also continued to develop its military technology. European chemists made deadly explosives that could be used in combat, and with the advancement of machinery they were able to create lighter, cheaper guns. The guns were also much faster and more accurate. By the late 19th century (1880s) the machine gun had become an effective battlefield weapon. This technology gave European armies an advantage over their opponents, as armies in less developed countries were still fighting with arrows, swords, and leather shields.[17]
German imperialism[edit]
From their original homelands in Scandinavia and the far north of Europe, Germanic tribes expanded throughout northern and western Europe in the middle period of classical antiquity, and southern Europe in late antiquity, conquering Celtic and other peoples and forming in 800 the Holy Roman Empire, the first German Empire. However, there was no real systemic continuity from the western Roman Empire to its German successor which famously was "not holy, not Roman, and not an empire",[18] and numerous small states existed in variously autonomous confederation. Although by 1000 Germanic conquest of central, western, and southern Europe west of and including Italy was complete, excluding only Muslim Iberia, but there was little cultural integration and national identity, and "Germany" remained largely a conceptual term referring to an amorphous area of central Europe.
Not a maritime power, and not a nation-state, as it would eventually become, Germany's participation in Western imperialism was negligible until the late 19th century. Participation of Austria was primarily as a result of Habsburg control of the First Empire, the Spanish throne, and other royal houses.[further explanation needed] After the defeat of Napoleon, who caused the dissolution of that first German Empire, Prussia and the German states continued to stand aloof from imperialism, preferring to manipulate the European system through polices such as those of Metternich. After Prussia unified the other states into the second German Empire, its long-time leader Otto von Bismarck (1862–90) had long opposed colonial acquisitions, arguing that the burden of obtaining, maintaining and defending such possessions would outweigh any potential benefit. He felt that colonies did not pay for themselves, that the German bureaucratic system would not work well in the easy-going tropics, and the diplomatic disputes over colonies would distract Germany from its central interest, Europe itself.[19] However, in 1883–84 he suddenly reversed himself and overnight[dubious ] built a colonial empire in Africa and the South Pacific, and then lost interest[further explanation needed] in imperialism. Historians have debated exactly why he made this sudden and short-lived move.[20][verification needed] He was aware that public opinion had started to demand colonies for reasons of German prestige.[21] Bismarck was influenced by Hamburg merchants and traders, his neighbors at Friedrichsruh. The establishment of the German colonial empire proceeded smoothly, starting with German New Guinea in 1884.[22]
After the collapse of the short-lived Third Reich, and the failure of its attempt to create a great land empire in Eurasia, Germany was split between Western and Soviet spheres of influence until Perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Tsarist and Soviet imperialism[edit]
In the 19th century, the Romanov Empire extended its control to the Pacific, forming a common border with the Qing Empire.
Bolshevik leaders had effectively reestablished a polity with roughly the same jurisdiction as that empire by 1921, but with an internationalist ideology: Lenin in particular asserted the right to self-determination for national minorities within the new territory.[23] Beginning in 1923, the policy of "Indigenization" [korenizatsiia] was intended to support non-Russians develop their national cultures within a socialist framework. Never formally revoked, it stopped being implemented after 1932. After World War II, the Soviet Union installed socialist regimes modelled on those it had installed in 1919–20 in the old Tsarist Empire in areas its forces occupied in Eastern Europe.[24] The Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China supported post–World War II anti-colonial national-liberation movements to advance their own interests but were not always successful.[25]
Trotsky, and others, believed that the revolution could only succeed in Russia as part of a world revolution, which was in fact, shortly after the Russian Revolution, spreading in the defeated Central Powers of Europe. Lenin wrote extensively on the matter and famously declared that Imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism. However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin established 'socialism in one country' for the Soviet Union, creating the model for subsequent inward looking Stalinist states and purging the early Internationalist elements. The internationalist tendencies of the early revolution would be abandoned until they returned in a client state form in the competition with the United States in the Cold War.
Though the Soviet Union declared itself anti-imperialist, critics argue that it exhibited tendencies common to historic empires.[26][27] Some scholars hold that the Soviet Union was a hybrid entity containing elements common to both multinational empires and nation states. It has also been argued that the USSR practiced colonialism as did other imperial powers and was carrying on the old Russian tradition of expansion and control, in the Maoist critique of the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong argued that the Soviet Union had itself become an imperialist power while maintaining a socialist façade (social imperialism).[28]
Japanese imperialism[edit]
During the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Japan absorbed Taiwan. As a result of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan took part of Sakhalin Island from Russia. Korea was annexed in 1910. During World War I Japan took German-leased territories in China's Shandong Province, as well as the Marianas, Caroline, and Marshall Islands. In 1918, Japan occupied parts of Far Eastern Russia and parts of eastern Siberia as a participant in the Siberian Intervention. In 1931 Japan conquered Manchuria. During the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, it invaded China. By the end of the Pacific War, Japan had conquered most of the Far East, including what is now Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippine Islands, Indonesia, New Guinea and many islands of the Pacific Ocean.[29][30][31]
American imperialism[edit]
The early United States expressed its opposition to Imperialism, at least that distinct from its own Manifest Destiny, in policies such as the Monroe Doctrine. Beginning in the late 19th and early 20th century, however, policies such as Woodrow Wilson's mission to "make the world safe for democracy"[32] were often backed by military force, but more often effected from behind the scenes, consistent with the general notion of hegemony and imperium of historical empires.[33][34] In 1898, Americans who opposed imperialism created the Anti-Imperialist League to oppose the US annexation of the Philippines and Cuba. A year later a war erupted in the Philippines causing business, labor and government leaders in the US to condemn America's occupation in the Philippines. They also denounced them for causing the deaths of many Filipinos.[35] American foreign policy was denounced as a "racket" by Smedley Butler, an American general. He said, "Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."[36]
After the Second World War, the United States became joined with Western interests in a global conflict over spheres of influence with the Soviet Union, known as the Cold War. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States did not diminish its global ability to project force and became "the sole superpower". A system of "Unipolarity" came to define international politics, with the United States at the center.
A controversial aspect of imperialism is the imperial power's defense and justification of such actions. Most controversial of all is the justification of imperialism done on rational grounds. J. A. Hobson identifies this justification: "It is desirable that the earth should be peopled, governed, and developed, as far as possible, by the races which can do this work best, i.e. by the races of highest 'social efficiency'."[37]
Technological and economic efficiency were often improved in territories subjected to imperialism through the building of roads, other infrastructure and introduction of innovations. A common argument against this is that such infrastrural improvements would have occurred anyway if the conquered territory were left to its own devices, and as a colony the benefits go to the imperial power rather than the territory itself. Imperialism by many different states throughout history has been one factor in the spread of the scientific method, as science was one factor that made these states stronger than their competitors.[38]
The principles of imperialism are often deeply connected to the policies and practices of British Imperialism "during the last generation, and proceeds rather by diagnosis than by historical description."[39] British Imperialist strategy often but not always used the concept of terra nullius (Latin expression which stems from Roman law meaning 'empty land'). The country of Australia serves as a case study in relation to British imperialism. British settlement and colonial rule of the island continent of Australia in the eighteenth century was premised on terra nullius, for its settlers considered it unused by its sparse inhabitants.
This form of imperialism can also be seen in British Columbia, Canada. In the 1840s, the territory of British Columbia was divided into two regions, one space for the native population, and the other for non-natives. The indigenous peoples were often forcibly removed from their homes onto reserves. These actions were "justified by a dominant belief among British colonial officials that land occupied by Native people was not being used efficiently and productively."[9]

If You Had Actually Grown Up In A Soviet Country, This Is What You Would Have Experienced
"And that's what I see happening here."
So begins an ad that's been airing in the run-up to November elections, narrated and paid for by Thomas Peterffy, in support of Republican candidates.
Peterrfy, the CEO of Interactive Brokers, came to America in 1965 to escape Communist Hungary.
He fears a world where, if we're not careful, "people will lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs. I think this is a very slippery slope.
"It seems like people don't learn from the past."
Is the U.S. really starting to resemble the country he left?
We turned to "Steeltown, USSR," a book-length work of reportage from current Princeton University History Professor Stephen Kotkin, to see what life under socialism is really like.
Published in 1991, the book is Kotkin's account of his trips to the Russian city of Magnitogorsk in the late-80s, on the eve of the fall of Communism, and his interviews with the city's residents.

The baby will be entranced by the colorful cowboys on one side of this blanket (and mom will be pretty charmed, too). Tourance is rightly famous for their rosebud baby blankets--with a silky soft design that is also machine washable, there's no smarter (and more luxurious) choice for the baby. This cowboy blanket reverses to a solid rosebud side for the ultimate in style and comfort. Made in the USA.
There's a reason why Tourance blankets provoke oohs and ahhs at baby showers. A Tourance blanket has a heavenly texture that falls somewhere between flower petals, down and faux fur, making them must-haves for the stroller, car seat, or just cuddling up at home.

The weather may have kept attendance lower than expected, but organizers estimate roughly 3,000 people came to see the 32nd annual Farm Show. Hosted at the New Ulm Civic Center, the event featured more than a hundred booths ranging from agriculture to construction to even Tupperware. Coordinator Jenny Eckstein says the show gives people a chance to get out of their homes, socialize, and start thinking about summer. Eckstein says, "It's a fun thing to do come and visit the people that you do business with thank them for being here and showing their products and getting the word about their business out to other people who may be aren't familiar with them."
Organizers say the show has something for everybody, including kids. Today was the last day of the event.

The dreWid said:I would even drive two hours.
I did. Drove to see Foxwoods show in Connecticut. It was my fourth concert and definitely worth it!
I've seen them twice in AC (the Troublemaker and Rattitude tours) and at the PNC, but the Foxwoods show was the best. It was the first time I saw Rivers come out into the audiance and I was in the 8th row!
We stayed overnight, though. I wouldn't recommend making a round trip.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — The beauty of the Stanford women's offense is rhythm and preparation. When it works it looks as in sync as the San Antonio Spurs and the Radio City Rockettes. On those days, the Cardinal could be sponsored by Arthur Murray Dance Studios.
When it doesn't work, when Tara VanDerveer's team does not connect, does not adjust much on the fly, the result can be as ugly as it is repetitive. And on this Saturday, when UConn executed its defensive game plan as well as Geno Auriemma could ever remember and when Stefanie Dolson demonstrated that to arrive in Storrs means to leave as a smarter, fitter, more determined athlete, the results can be epic.
No. 1 Stanford scored 35 points at home.
How's that for epic?
The last time Stanford scored so few points Wham! hit the pop charts with "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." That was in 1984. Wham! That was the sound of No. 2 UConn snuffing Stanford 61-35 to break the Cardinal's 82-game home winning streak and presumably to climb into the No. 1 spot in the national rankings.
The Cardinal scored the fewest field goals [11] and had the worst field-goal percentage [19.3 percent] in program history.
"I don't think I've ever experienced something like this," said forward Chiney Ogwumike.
"Connecticut came in here on a mission. Mission accomplished," VanDerveer said. "We were exposed in a lot of different ways. It was a bad day."
It was a brilliant day for the UConn defense.
The Cardinal had one assist in the first half. The Cardinal had two assists in the second half. When you have a one-to-five assist-to-turnover ratio in a game, you know what you call that? Disaster.
"This is beyond a wakeup call," VanDerveer said.
Ogwumike had six of Stanford's 11 baskets and five of them came on put-backs. She finished only 6 of 22 from the floor and, relative to her teammates, she was on fire. The rest of the team shot 5 of 35.
Mikaela Ruef was 0 of 4. Toni Kokenis was 2 of 11. Josyln Tinkle, averaging 14 points, was 1 of 5. She had two points. Amber Orrange, 0 of 6, was averaging 11 points a game. She didn't score a point.
"There was a combination of what we did full court, how and where we trapped them," Auriemma said. "Sometimes we pressured them really hard, sometimes it was medium, sometimes not at all. I think we kept them off balance. They're the kind of team that relies a lot on rhythm, making moves and cuts. I think we disrupted them as well as anybody."
"I'm proud of what we did," Dolson said.
Dolson, the primary defender on Ogwumike, should also be proud of what she has done. She has estimated that she has lost about 12 pounds in the past year, but more than that she has distributed her weight in one fit, happy lesson in conditioning. She cut down on the carbs. She turned up the Infinity Fitness DVD.
"It feels great knowing two years ago I don't know if I could have done that out there," Dolson said. "It feels good to know what I did pay off. Playing someone like Chiney, who is extremely athletic, quick and can still shoot the jump shot. I felt I made her take hard shots."
Dolson found out on Thursday that she would be on Ogwumike.
"[Chris Dailey and Marisa Moseley] definitely emphasized what Chiney is good at," Dolson said. "I had a lot of information going into the game. I was able to keep her in front of me. She's definitely a little quicker than me, but I was able to read what she was able to do."
"Two years ago, maybe she'd blow by me."
Four different players guarded Ogwumike, and none of them was named Kelly Faris, the team's best defender. Bria Hartley was on her for a few possessions at the start before Dolson took over. When she went out for a rest, freshman Breanna Stewart covered Ogwumike. Morgan Tuck even had a shot for a minute.
"Dolson got help," VanDerveer said. "Every time Chiney got the ball, there were three people on her. We didn't help Chiney enough around her."
Faris, who played Tinkle most of the game, lost her on the first play for a basket, and, as VanDerveer said, nothing — nothing — was easy from there.
"We were trying to move Kelly some, like she was Lawrence Taylor," Auriemma said. "Wherever you put her, she's going to be really, really good. We had her on wings. We had her on guards. We had her helping Dolson and certainly Stewie with Chiney."
"Sometimes you can make it as complicated as you want. You can go into football mode, that we had all the matchups analyzed and ran them through the computer. It's not like that at all. Stefanie was going to guard Chiney until she proved she couldn't. The key was what was everybody else doing that wasn't guarding Chiney. They did a great job knowing when to help and when not to help."
And the key for Dolson, who finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds, was knowing when to help herself. Dailey had thrown her arm around Dolson on the bench in the waning moments of that bad loss here to end the 90-game winning streak exactly two years ago.
"She told me, 'Get in the weight rooom. Get more fit. Be stronger in the post. I took what she said to heart. I've come a long way. This was the complete opposite of two years ago. It was a horrible loss. To play hard and outwork them today is a great feeling."
"There has been a huge change in Stefanie," said Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis. "I played with her when we were 16. She was Big Stef. She's Littler Stef now. She has turned into the best post in the country, I think. She has set a higher standard for herself. She has put our team on her back."
Auriemma said he was thrilled with the way she could stay in the game and the whole time be effective.
"Two years ago, when she wasn't in the game, we weren't as good a team," he said. "She kept getting in foul trouble. We could never be as good as we thought we could be. Her conditioning is so much better and her knowledge of the game is so much better. But I never doubted — not one bit — that she wouldn't be a major part of what we did."
And then Auriemma laughed. So much talk had been about offense, offense, offense for this game.
"Nobody talks about defense," he said. "Everybody talks about how many threes you shoot, what kind of offense you run and what great offensive players you recruit. There's not one kid who came to UConn in the last 12 years who said on Signing Day, 'I'm coming to UConn because I'm a great defensive player. I can't wait to go play defense at UConn.' Every kid out of high school is a great scorer. That's how they end up at UConn. We work really, really hard to play defense."
Even VanDerveer pointed directly to the UConn competitiveness. They always get better, she said.
Yes, they do.
And some days the result is epic.

Pair of tall 17th-century Italian candlesticks.

10% Discount when ordering Online!
they did a very nice job for us – i come from the nederlands where we have many beautiful flowers. I noticed on the website that petal designs is very similar to what i am accustomed to. so i ordered flowers for my mother and aunt that live in palm beach. they were very happy. i will order flowers from this store again in the future. i ordered the french compact 3 and the french garden.
Best Flower Shop in Boca Raton – I just used Petal Designs for the third time since I found them on the web. They always make the most beautiful arrangements. Both my Mother and Sister live in Boca and have each commented how much nicer and unique the flowers are from this flower shop verses the others around the city. Keep up the great work Petal Designs!
Just Marvelous! – I am sooo happy with the flowers petals did for my suprise birthday party! My husband only sends from this florist and he told my friends about them when they were planning my party. Now they will start using them also! Tpp bad i dont get a commission for promoting their work, but i think they sell themselves pretty well...lol.
Excellent Designs – I love Petals energy and clever ideas. Her unique design style based on her european back-ground and asian influences is the "something different" that I have been looking for!
OMG - Petal is Great! – I'm getting married in March next year and was having a hard time finding a good florist. My freind told me about Petal and I met with her today for a wedding consultation. She was incrdible! She knows more about flowers than anybody I can think of and she has such great ideas. She's from europe or something and knows all about the latest trends and colors. Really professional and detailed. I was so pleased I hired her on the spot! I can't wait to meet with her at the resort we're getting married at for the walk-through. Today Petal has made me a very happy bride-to-be!
Great flowers, Incredible Web Site – I was recently serching the web to find a florist in Boca. All the florist web site looked the same with the same FTD type arrangements. Then I found Petal Designs website. It was incredable. all of their own products and no FTD. Best of all, my Mom love the arrangement I sent for her birthday.
My Mom loved her flowers – I sent an arrangement to my Mom in the hospital from Petals. She was a little depressed and when she got the arrangement it really cheered her up. She told me it was the most beautiful arrangement she had ever received. I will definately send flowers from Petals again - hopefully the occasion will be a happier one next time!
Best Florist in Boca – A few weeks ago I sent a very large arrangement for my boss to his wife for their 50th wedding anniversary. She loved it. So I bought a more modest arrangement for my wife and she thought it was one of the prettiest arrangements she ever recieved. I've used alot of florists in Boca and none of them have made me look like such a hero. Thanks Petals!

OK, any tech writer knows that some organizations wouldn't be what they are without seven million acronyms.
I want to set up my synonym lists so that if a user searches for, say, "BB," they will get "Berry Burst," too.
But the synonym list will only allow BB to equal one other word. Any recommendations for other ways to do this? The keywords seem cumbersome
Please see the Sticky Topic Before You Post and note the section Include the Edition and Version.
I just tested in RoboHelp 9. I was able to duplicate both Words and Synonyms.
As a user a duplicated synonym could be confusing as the results will be for both words.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
A bit more testing shows the problem is with two character words.
The more people who report a bug or request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Exactly. Any way around this? I know it sounds as if it'd be confusing to users, but unfortunately we have eight million ways to refer to the same thing.
I am trying to figure out a strategy....
Hi there
You are quite nicely illustrating why an Index is much preferred over a Search.
In the Index, you add the term BB and you are able to point to topics that list Berry Blast or whatever you like.
However, I totally agree with my esteemed colleague Peter in that you really should consider adding your concerns to the Wish Form so the developers are aware of the need or desire to accomplish what you are wanting to accomplish.
Cheers... Rick

Oops, sorry. I have RH 9, WebHelp layout.
Just to make sure I am understanding--when I try to add a synonym for BB=Berry Burst, I get the message "Synonym editor cannot map phrases. Please provide a single word."
Sigh. Yes, I have worked very hard to build these items into the index. But now I am focused on optimizing the search, because users like it.
Peter, your argument for ZoomSearch is compelling.
LOL, my own users LOVED the search!
Wanna know why? Because they didn't have one!
I pulled the ole switcharoo and gave them a nice index that was LABELED Search. But you likely can't do that.
As I understand it, you are wanting something that I'm guessing even ZoomSearch may not provide. You want them to search for BB and end up finding Berry Blast (or whatever term) and have that term highlighted. No? I bow to Peter the ZoomSearch king around here, but I'd be shocked if even ZoomSearch allowed that.
The only other thing I can think of here is to maybe create a Glossary Topic that would list your terms in a large table. In one column, you have the term BB and in the other, the other possibilities that you could then link out to appropriate topics. Then a search would find BB and present "Glossary" where they could more easily figure things out.
Cheers... Rick

Oh--and a question. Correct to assume that the phrase list doesn't affect the search at all?
Saw your comment about that, and grin.
If there were better ways to optimize the search, we wouldn't need the index. Really it would be awesome to combine the strengths of both options into one feature.
@twxrx Synonyms are single word, you are trying to add a phrase.
@rick Took you long enough to find something ZoomSearch does not cover! I'll ask if it is something they could enable.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Peter, very true. But the synonym feature is the closest I've come to what I'd like to accomplish with my example.
Help, am I stuck with keywords?
Thinking on what you say about index vs. search, Rick....
Even if RH had a fab search engine and put it in tomorrow, it would not change the fact that RH users would want to optimize it. This means that the effort to define keywords is never wasted.
I took this up with ZoomSearch and they confirmed there are difficulties with phrase synonyms but they continue to look at it.
They also mentioned a feature they do have. "They could consider using Recommended Links, which DO work for phrases. So that you can have both "BB" and "Berry Burst" bring up a recommended link to the Berry Burst page for example."
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Thanks for the effort. I will be looking into this integration possibility.
The synonym feature in RH is weak.
To be fair, the dictionary says a synonym is a word that can substitute another, not a phrase.
If ZoomSearch haven't cracked it, you can bet it is not easy.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Probably not…but acronyms are a real problem with a lot of organizations. There are just too many. But you can't fight em.

NEW YORK (AP) - Sean Payton is back as coach of the New Orleans Saints.
Payton's season-long suspension for his role in the Saints' bounty program was lifted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than expected.
The decision allows Payton to attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday, where some of the top college players available for the NFL draft will be competing.
Payton, along with assistant head coach Joe Vitt, general manager Mickey Loomis, and four players including Jonathan Vilma, was suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool …

Real survive scare; Malaga go fourth
Mesut Ozil's brace was decisive as La Liga champions Real Madrid twice came from behind to win 3-2 at Real Valladolid on Saturday evening.
Manucho twice put the hosts ahead from corners, but Madrid equalised through first Karim Benzema and then, on the stroke of half-time, Ozil.
The Germany midfielder then curled home a sublime second-half free-kick - his fifth goal in seven games - to secure all three points.
The win lifted Jose Mourinho's third-placed side two points behind Atletico Madrid, who host Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday, and within eight of leaders Barcelona ahead of the Catalan club's trip to Real Betis on Sunday night.
Malaga earlier moved above Betis into fourth spot - for at least 24 hours - as goals from Joaquin, Javier Saviola, Ignacio Camacho and Roque Santa Cruz saw them thrash Granada 4-0 at La Rosaleda.
Elsewhere, Ernesto Valverde's first La Liga match in charge of Valencia ended in a 1-0 win at Osasuna, Roberto Soldado netting the game's only goal 11 minutes into the second half in Pamplona.
The win was Los Che's first on the road in La Liga this term, Mauricio Pellegrino having paid the price for the poor form when he was sacked earlier in the week after the club picked up only two points from their first seven away games.
Finally, Carlos Martinez's stoppage-time header salvaged a 1-1 draw for Real Sociedad as they stretched their unbeaten run to five league games with a point against Getafe at Anoeta.
The game suddenly came to life in the final few minutes when Angel Lafita nodded home from Jaime Gavilan's cross on 87 minutes, but Sociedad responded immediately as Martinez rose highest at the far post to convert Alberto de la Bella's cross.
Atletico and Barcelona are in action on Sunday, with the former hosting Deportivo La Coruna and the latter playing at Real Betis.
Barca could be without forward Lionel Messi after he picked up a knee problem in Wednesday's 0-0 Champions League home draw with Benfica, although the Catalan club will be grateful that the injury is not more serious.
Messi left the field on a cart in the 84th minute after colliding with visiting goalkeeper Artur Moraes and the sight of their star player being taken off the pitch silenced the Barca fans, but there was relief soon after with confirmation that the complaint was no worse than a bruised left knee.
The Argentina international worked in the gym as his Barca team-mates trained outside today, and Messi said he still had a chance of playing at the weekend.
"I feel fine, but I don't know yet if I will be available for Sunday," he said at a promotional event at the Nou Camp on Thursday. "I'll see. I am grateful for all the messages of support I have received."
Messi said he was hurt when he struck Moraes, but then tried to score with a curling shot before falling to the ground and clutching his knee.
"I thought it was the last shot I was going to have for a long time," he said. "So I decided to gamble and hit it."
He added: "The truth is I did not think about anything because all I could feel was the pain. But in a moment I thought the worst. When it was shown it was not a severe injury I was calmer."
The two other matches on Sunday are Levante's home clash with Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao's with Celta Vigo, with Real Zaragoza then making the trip to Rayo Vallecano on Monday night to round things off.
Meanwhile on Friday, Sevilla had striker Alvaro Negredo to thank for rescuing them a point in their 2-2 draw with Espanyol.

Six words: Roasted pork roasted duck noodle soup. I dream about this massive tub of fat-glistening goodness.
Great food! This is one of my favorite places in chinatown. Love the duck wraps and congee. I've liked everything I ordered here lol
The best duck in the city – I've been going to Sang Kee for at least a decade and I never grow tired of ordering their duck. Actually there are a few things on their menu that I could eat over and over again, including the Three Flavor dumpling soup and the stuffed eggplant. The duck is always succulent but not too fatty and there's a nice variety between putting it in the moo shu wraps or having it with the string beans on the side. Their appetizer specials are always tasty but I wish they'd bring back the baby octopus! Their service is usually good and the prices are very reasonable. Sang Kee is so great that even surrounded by so many good Chinese restaurants, I still have trouble convincing myself to go anywhere else when I'm in the area.
Food is good- service is worst in philly! – I got delivery, got the wrong food- they wouldnt give me the correct food after i pleaded and pleaded for it on the phone. the owner of the restaurant deserves to be fired- he was really rude to me and i was thinking about suing this place but i figured it wasnt worth it- ALL I WANT YOU TO KNOW IS, THEIR DELIVERY SERVICE IS REALLY REALLY BAD!!!
Best braised beef, period! – I've been a patron of this restaurant for the longest time, since back when before they even had upstairs seating and when it was still a hidden gem. I consider myself a foodie and I have to say that this place has one of the best braised beef that you can find although they are very well known for their duck. I would highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of braised beef to try their braised beef noodle soup with the flat rice noodles. Their portions are very generous for the family sized dinners. For the vegetarians, I would recommend their garlic eggplant and their vegetarian dumplings (pan fried), it's a tasty treat. Overall, this places makes very tasty noodle soups and decent family size dinner meals (but there are some that aren't extremely impressive - so be sure to ask for recommendations). I currently don't live in Philadelphia but I still come here often!
best chinese in C-Town – this is the place to go for the best chinese food. i have been a loyal customer for over 7 years now and the food is still as good as it was when i first went there. they have the freshest duck i have ever eaten and i have always been greeted and seated faster here than anywhere else. menu is pretty basic in comparison to other rival restaurants, but it's the simple things that make them heads above the rest. only downfall in my mind is is it is away from the main area of chinatown, tucked in the corner off of vine. this could be a good thing or a bad thing.
sick from sang kee – We went to Sang Kee Duck House with high hopes, actually we were contemplating holding a banquet here for our rehearsal dinner. My fiancee and I were both terribly sick by the time we had walked home (about 30 minutes). The duck had tasted okay although not quite up to our standards from Beijing. We thought the other dishes were too greasy and lacked flavor. But we didn't expect to get sick like we did, ugh. I do not recommend this restaurant.
best in philly – i've lived in philly for almost forty years. Back as a grad student, chinese restaurants were the only we could afford. Now (with a bit more money) I am able to eat at any restaurant. Yet, there is nothing I enjoy more than bringing a good bottle of wine and eating at Sang Kee's. The service is quick and friendly. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is soothing.
Really Good – The food is absolutely fantastic and the service is quick. The staff are really friendly and courteous. I highly recommend you to try their food.
WHAT DO YOU GET FOR $60.00? – Not much of anything especially flavors. I was in Philadelphia on business staying at The Ritz. The weather was rainy and cold. I wasn't in the mood for room service so I opted for Chinese delivery. I turned to Citysearch to choose that cuisine. This establishment had a rating of 9.4 (how it got that is news to me). I called and asked for delivery. I was told that they do not deliver (even though it was in the delivery section on Citysearch), but had a service I could call. I then called Dining Out I had a very polite operator walk me through the process. It was painless. I was told that the white rice would be a $2.00 surcharge and the delivery charge was increased $.50 due to the price of gas. I said no worries because I was looking forward to really GREAT Chinese food. My order arrived within an escort of hotel security. It was hot as well as well packaged. It lacked only ONE major component, FLAVOR!
The hot and sour soup tasted like the house fried rice that tasted just like the beef w/ eggplant. Which blended right into the pork fried dumplings. The only distinct difference was the texture of the dishes. It wasn't too salty, or spicy which would have been more acceptable. I truly hope this does not represent the quality of Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia. I am also very disappointed with the rating Citysearch has given this establishment. In my opinion it shouldn't have one above a 2. Side note the delivery charge was $5.49 (I think reasonable) and a tip of $5. The total for one entree, fried rice, soup and dumplings $51.08. I forgot the $2.00 white rice! The fortune cookies were free.
Hey Foodfriend – NOT ONCE, in 25 years have i ever heard the waiters complain about a tip...that's just rediculous.
We started going to the restaurant in Phila, when there was only 2 tables. Also had great food. Larger portions down there for sure.
