Gifts For Newly Pregnant Friends What to Gift Your Newly Pregnant Friend by Rebecca M Gruber 5/14/13 16 Reactions 17 Shares Print 5 1 11 0 0 Your best friend's pregnant and you want to celebrate! While buying her a round of drinks at your favorite bar may be out of the question, there are a number of ways you can congratulate her — whether you live down the street or halfway around the world. From cheeky cards to tasty (yet nutritionally helpful) treats, check out our favorite ways to celebrate your newly pregnant friend's big news! A Funny Card What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your friend has a sense of humor, Cheeky Kumquat's You Did It (Literally) card ($4) is a fun way to send a congratulatory note! The double-entendre card will certainly have her laughing over her newfound pregnancy. 1 / 8 An iTunes Gift Card What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure, your friend can start building her birthing suite delivery playlist with a gift card, but she can also use it to download a number of great apps to help her through her pregnancy. Among our favorites are the BellySnaps pregnancy photo app for some fun photo-sharing tools and the WebMD Pregnancy app for informative details about her pregnancy. 2 / 8 The Honest Company Family Essentials Bundle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's no greater motivator than pregnancy to move a family to a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Jessica Alba's The Honest Company offers bundles of products to make the transition easier (and more stylish) than ever before. The Family Essentials Bundle ($36 per month) is filled with body care and nontoxic cleaning essentials that are safe for mom, baby, and the environment. 3 / 8 Parenthood Listography: My Kid in Lists What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are tons of pregnancy and baby journals out there, but the new Parenthood Listography: My Kid in Lists ($17) is a fun, easy version that won't leave mom feeling guilty if she forgets to fill it out along the way. Rather than prompting parents to record every kick and Braxton Hicks contraction they feel, Lisa Nola's book is a collection of lists that, when read together, tell a story about baby. From pregnancy through childhood, parents share the baby names they considered, personality traits parents hope their kids inherit, favorite movies, and more. Covering such a long time frame, the 60 included lists are sure to give parents plenty to think about in years to come. 4 / 8 Bumpboosters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's no secret that we love Milkmakers around here. Emily Kane's delicious and beyond-helpful lactation cookies are one of our must-have tools for new motherhood. Now the cookie line is extended to pregnancy with a new treat designed to nourish moms-to-be and their growing babies. Filled with all-natural and organic ingredients — including chia seeds, pumpkin, wheat germ, and whole grains — Bumpboosters ($25 for 10 individually wrapped cookies) offer the perfect ratio of proteins and carbs to keep an expectant mama healthy and energized throughout her pregnancy. Available in Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Morning Glory Breakfast Cookie, and Molasses Ginger flavors, the cookies are a healthy grab-and-go snack for the pregnant woman on the run. 6 / 8 A Pedicure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are few women that will turn down an opportunity to have a pedicure, but when you're pregnant and your feet are carrying an extra 20+ pounds, there are few things more refreshing than 45 minutes in a comfy chair with someone massaging your feet. Grab a bottle of your newly expectant friend's favorite polish (Zoya is one natural polish that is safe for pregnant women) and pick up a gift certificate to her favorite salon. Her feet (and her cleared mind) will thank you! Source: Shutterstock 6 / 8 The Gift of Om What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yoga is the perfect form of exercise for expectant mamas. It's low impact and helps increase the mom-to-be's flexibility, not to mention eases tension and virtually wipes away stress. With that in mind, find your closest yoga studio and pick up a gift certificate for a series of classes for your friend. Her body (and mind) will greatly appreciate it! Source: Shutterstock 7 / 8 Serena and Lily Menagerie Bookends What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of the first things a mom-to-be can do to set up her baby's room is fill a bookshelf with books from her childhood. One way to make that bookshelf even more special is with a great pair of bookends. Serena and Lily's leather Menagerie Bookends ($58 each) are not only a beautiful addition to a little one's room, but they're also a practical one, too. 8 / 8 5 1 11 0 0 Back to Homepage Read More Mom ShoppingPregnancy Pregnancy A Few Things to Do Before Number Two 1 day ago Is It Smug to Say Your Baby Was Born Naturally on the Birth Announcement? 6 days ago 8 Postpartum C-Section Surprises Most Women Don't Talk About 1 week ago The 7 Things You Actually Need For Baby's First Night Home 1 week ago And the Oscar Goes to . . .

Another BlackBerry tablet rumor
Posted by Hiawatha Bray
August 9, 2010 10:46 AM
Given reviewers' underwhelming response to the new BlackBerry Torch, (here's my take) and the ongoing efforts by governments to compromise the BlackBerry's top-notch data security features, parent company RIM needs a game-changer. A good tablet device could be it. But are all the rumors true? Beats me. Still, here's the latest--a $500 pricetag, and a November launch,

LIVE webcast of Formula Offroad from Skien Norway this weekend
Posted in events as well, but figured it woudln't hurt to post here as well.
In talking with some folks this Labor Day weekend while at the dunes I came to find out many people had no idea I had gone over to Sweden to commentate the first ever live webcast of Formula Offroad from Balsta, Sweden, and they had no idea it was happening again this weekend. Tune in Saturday and Sunday for complete coverage of the NEZ Championships from Skien, Norway. Watch the action unfold LIVE as I commentate the competition. Being able to understand what is being said about the competition will bring to light many aspects of Formula Offroad that may have been misunderstood. Keep your eyes peeled and you might catch a glimpse of Brooks from Dune TV. www.SMKPlay.se |

A web filter to block all religious content on the web, for Windows and Mac:
GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions. When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.

With many veteran players, including Amar'e Stoudemire and Rasheed Wallace, expected to sit out the Knicks' first preseason game vs. the Wizards later tonight, the matchup will be a great opportunity for players like Mychel Thompson and Chris Copeland to strut their stuff. Both still on non-guaranteed contracts, each one is still fighting for a coveted roster spot.After being signed earlier this summer, it appeared as though Copeland would have a leg up on all the other non-guarantees looking to make the team in training camp.

More government spending when we don't have the money. How exciting, we get to borrow more money and never pay it back and watch the state go bankrupt. Oh wait, the state going bankrupt means it is on the people of TN. NO THANKS!!!!!!!!
I sure hope that what he is saying is true. He was one screwed up kid in HS and during the summer after HS. I pray that Lee has truly allowed the Lord to come into his life and is willing to follow God's will for himself. It is good to see that he is taking responsibility for his past actions and also taking care of his family.
The reason Phil did not recruit Cobb is because Cobb was not a character off the field. If he had been in trouble instead of doing what was right, he would have probably become a VOOOL.
Oh, the efficiency of govt. schools.
Boo Hoo, leave the Tar Baby alone.
$5,000 bond for each. That is a joke. Our justice system is ridiculous.
Boo Hoo. Thank goodness, we will get to watch some of the other players for a change.
Greasy, Greasy, Greasy, it will keep you running for days and you won't be on your feet running. lol
A car flease is never a good deal unless you enjoy and want to be in debt for the rest of your life. Of course, that is the American way just like the government.
Stay away from any hospital or Dr.'s office that HMA own's. They do not know how to treat patients or empoyeees. Profit, profit is the word.
Beware of anything that Tim Harris is associated with. A snake in the grass waiting to bite you.
Just what OR needs, another empty storefront. Population aging and shrinking, so let's build another new store. No wonder groceriese keep going up.
$120 million here, 120 million there, pretty soon we are talking real dollars. What a waste 50 years too late. Our govt is a joke!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't live in snoxville, why in the world would you want to go there?
Thank goodness this is not associated with HMA. Oh, for the good ole days of St. Mary's.
Don't do business with mega banks, unless you like getting screwed. Of course, Americans have proven they like it. Oh well. Live and don't learn.
At least he/she is the right gender.
Welcome to the big time!!!
If HMA is involved, look out. All they care about are the dollars and patient care suffers.
Just the facts. We should never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Thank you.
Just stating facts in regard to why Capt. Nomad was asked to leave OR. Now he is back and all is right in the bomb city.
It is a sad day when OR has to resort to someone they ran off for moral reasons. I guess when you are desperate, the bottom of the barrel is acceptable. 5 schools in 15 years. I'm sure all of those moves were not without cause. Just moved on for a better opportunity. I always thought Meadows was the nomad of TN HS football. I believe Gadis is now the champ. Shame on the adm. for hiring him.
If the doc does get elected, the worse part is that Burchy will give him some do nothing job in Knoxville. We will not be rid of this goof ball. He will just join another one here in Knoxpatch. Oh well.
I am sure that someone from E. TN as school supt.is the answer to the problem. If I am not mistaken, the two people that are buddies on the screw up are from E. TN. Yankees don't have a corner on the market for crooks. If you elect a school Supt. then you are stuck with that person for at least 4 years and then getting them unelected is next to impossible. I think an appointed supt. serves at the pleasure of the BOE. The mayor wants to elect the supt. so he can control that office also, by having one of his cronies in place. Kind of like the sherrif does now and the previous one did for years. Politicians are not the answer, but of course they will tell you that they are and we keep voting for them. It is no different here than it is in Washington, just on a smaller scale. Bend over and enjoy the ride.
100% gasoline is available @ 3 Weigles that I know of; Cedar Lane, Emory Road, and Oak Ridge Hwy. You pay a little more, but the MPG is better and it doesn't destroy your engine. DO NOT put ethanol in your small engines. It is will destroy them. Also very damaging to autos. Just ask a reliable and honest mechanic.
One step closer to the socialist society that BHO is after and a person from e.t. is the mastermind. How proud and excited we all are with this accomplisment. NOT!!!!
Quit buying things you don't need and can't pay cash for. Quit acting like you are in Congress.
Muzzelmouth should have been put out to pasture years ago. He must really have his hooks in someone as he keeps getting all of the high profile games. What a team; Muzzle and Herbie. At least it wasn't mush mouth Lou telling us how great ND is or how great it was to be a ND coach 25 years ago.
Who really cares?
She is a HMA employee and that is not good. They are about the $$$$ and to heck with employees and patients. If you cannot pay, you will not be treated. They are all about cutting the staff. Just ask the people at St. Marys from the custodians to the MD's. No one will win in this situation except HMA.
Of course, that is correct. The reason we have government schools is to build a strong athletic program. Get rid of the academics.
Way to go Peyton. Guess all the VOOL fans can start crying now as they talk about what a traitor Peyton is for not choosing the Nashville Titans.
They may not be the best, largest, highest revenue or top 20 locations, etc. In my opinion, they are the most comfortable, best value out there and I will always stay at a Marriott when I can. Of course this opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it. Just like the previous person's opinion.
Sick people out there. Everything is about me, me and me. No concern or caring about their fellow man. This family is hurting big time and some fool is talking about whether people are still buying maps.
Boo Hoo
The ONLY reason Tennova is adding this service is because it is a HUGE money maker for them. Most patients are private pay and insurance does not cover it unless it is deemed medically necessary. Tennova or HMA is only about turning a profit, nothing else. The heck with patient care and treating employees fairly.
For heavens sake, we certainly would not want to be historically incorrect. Who gives a rat's butt, open the restaurant and get on with business.
Great that she was found safely. A side note. . . . a 15 month old with pierced ears. What does that say about our society? Sad , Sad.
You would think that a sportswriter would know how many championships a school had won. Oh wait, are we letting the facts get in the way of a good story and I forgot that person does not have to be correct with the facts in order to do a good job. Another reason to not believe anything you read in a newspaper or see on the internet.
How about their 3rd state title!!!!!!!!

Regular police vehicle checkpoints are returning to Belfast for Christmas - as part of a PSNI operation to counter the surge in dissident republican activity.
Police announced a dedicated public patrolling operation to keep people safe in the city.
Chief Superintendent Alan McCrum said: "There will be a very visible police presence in Belfast city centre over the coming weeks in key locations, at key times.
"Police will be on foot, on bikes and conducting vehicle check points in hot-spot areas to prevent crime and reassure shoppers, revellers and motorists."
On Monday morning Chief Constable Matt Baggott warned of a surge in dissident republican activity after a bomb partially exploded outside a shopping centre in Belfast city centre.
A terrified driver was forced to bring up to 130lb of homemade explosives into Belfast's main commercial hub.
The detonator exploded but failed to trigger the rest of the device at the Victoria Square shopping centre.
Recent weeks have seen an increase in letter bombs, under-car booby traps, blast bombs and hijackings.
Baggott ruled out a "ring of steel" being erected in Belfast or any other major towns, which during the Troubles involved numerous armed checkpoints with military support at key arterial routes in the buildup to Christmas.
But announcing the step up in patrols on Monday evening, the PSNI said it had to recognise the increased numbers of people that will be visiting Belfast in the weeks prior to Christmas.
"The Christmas period is a time of the year when we see a significant increase in the numbers of people visiting the city, during the day and in the evenings to shop and socialise," said Chief Superintendent McCrum.
"Police are encouraging people to stay safe this Christmas; keep their own property safe, be responsible about personal safety and actively keep their communities safe by looking out for others".
He added: "We are all aware of the threat that is posed by terrorists. Everyone can play a part in helping to tackle this by remaining vigilant and by reporting any suspicious activity or behaviour to police. Police are committed to keeping communities safe. The public can help in this process by working with and supporting Police as they seek to prevent harm and ensure that Belfast remains a safe and vibrant city to visit."
Lord Mayor Councillor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir urged the public to support Belfast trade and festivities this Christmas.
"I would appeal for positivity," he said.
"We should all be proud of the great things happening in Belfast and the many good people in our midst.
"Our message is clear – those who seek to wreck and cause ruin have no place here. Belfast is open for business."
Police will also be conducting a range of operations targeting drink driving and alcohol fuelled assaults.
Activity will be undertaken in relation to disrupting the sale of counterfeit goods and increasing awareness on crime prevention advice related to thefts from vehicles.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia officials have reacted cautiously to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Georgia has had to get federal approval for election law changes, from polling location to district lines. The court didn't strike down the "preclearance" rule itself. But the justices invalidated the formula used to determine what states submit their changes.
The question is what that means for new laws that Georgia officials have submitted to the Justice Department but not gotten a decision.
Attorney General Sam Olens praised the court's ruling in a statement but didn't say how he interpreted its effect on pending changes.
A spokesman in Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office said the state's top election lawyers are reviewing the decision.

I've never really dieted for any length of time and I was having trouble shfting half a stone, let alone the full stone i wanted to lose. I have zero will power but this product really works for me.
I use the product 3 times a day, breakfast lunch and late afternoon before the gym or going home. I walk 50 minutes every lunch hour instead of sitting at my desk. When I get home I have a proper meal and even a glass of wine or two. In a month I have lost 8 Lbs which I find truly staggering. I went from 83.6Kilos down to 79.3 Kilos and it didn't even hurt.
The bars really are tasty, they fill me up for a while and are high protein. The milkshakes aren't very interesting but taste better if you add blue berries or other berries to them. The soups are good and sometimes you just need a hot meal during the day so they are well worth buying.
For me the diet only works because I don't deny myself an evening meal. I need something to look forward to when I get home. I steer clear of heavy meals and eat a lot more fish and plenty of veggies.
Either way I didn't want to faff around with lighter life, I didn't need to feel patronised by being forced to have a counselor which simply doubles the price. So Exante was a really good find for us. I think it will be permanently part of my life Monday to friday during the day and at the weekends I eat what I want.

The sophomore is speaking to other schools and has yet to decide where he will go, UConn announced Tuesday. Coach Jim Calhoun said he met with Kelly over the past several weeks and they both agree that he may have a better chance for more playing time in another program.

If they were both going all out in ROTJ, Vader would win. EU Luke teleports a lightsaber into Vader's skull and calls it a day.
Luke was definitely stronger than Vader. Vader couldn't even kill the Emperor in a straight up fight. He had to go in and sucker-throw-him-down-a-shaft to defeat him.
Now that I will agree with. If lightsaber duels were indicative of who was stronger, then saber duels would be pretty pointless. At the same time, they can not be discounted either. I think there is a balance between how far strength in the force can carry a duelist against how far swordsmanship can carry them.
The Emperor had a pretty easy time with Luke, too. I'm not saying who's stronger between Luke and Vader, but Palps would have handled either pretty easy at the time of ROTJ.
I don't think Luke was more powerful than Vader in ROTJ. I think Vader could have easily defeated him if he was trying to kill him. Luke was captured by the ewoks. You think Vader would allow that. I don't think so. But I do think that NJO Luke was much more powerful.
There is no way Luke is stronger than Vader. Not in the films anyway. Yes, he did beat Vader in a duel when he called upon the dark side and surprised the Sith Lord with an amazing display of raw force power, but that doesn't make him stronger than Vader. I don't think Vader was going all out anyways, his goal was to convert Luke, no Kill him.. EU Luke?? Well, that's another story.
For most of the fight, Luke wasn't going all out either. He refused to fight, lowered his defenses, and was just generally trying to convert Vader back to the good side. Once Luke finally does unleash and go all out, Vader is completely on the defensive and is quickly disarmed. Vader was struggling for his very life and doing all he could to fend Luke off, but was totally overwhelmed.
Perhaps so, but it just seemed to me that Vader from ROTJ, is not the same Vader we saw in ESB. EBS Vader was hurling objects at Luke, all while Engaging him in lightsaber combat. That right there is something we never see any other force user do. The Vader from RTOJ didn't even bother and use the force against Luke. IMO, ROTJ Luke Vs ESB Vader would be a much better match up.
I think that Vader would win though. Vader has powerful prosthetic limbs and has been practicing this stuff almost his entire life. Whereas Luke has only had a few months of training.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of him, and he was my first avatar. Anyways, I think Luke gained experience in his knowledge and training from battles, while Vader has confidence in himself, but doesn't want to destroy Luke. Basically, their last battle was two guys not wanting to destroy each other (notice how Vader slowly swings his lightsaber when Luke has his off, and when he tosses it at Luke, he throws it slow to give Luke time to duck.) That's what I saw from the movies, anyways.
I heard that excuse so often. I wonder what is the greater handicap. Being distracted or missing a hand?
Vader, as in "got his Force power growth stunted when he got hacked up Vader"? Yeah, Luke is definitely stronger than that guy. Vader won a lot of lightsaber duels because of his strength and size alone. The suit was incredibly restrictive for him; he could barely move his arms around in a suitable fashion that would have allowed him the broad, sweeping strikes we see him using as Anakin Skywalker. Vader depended a lot on his superior strength to physically beat his opponents into submission. He was incredibly powerful force-user still, effectively losing control of his own powers in ESB when he sucks Luke out a window with that force wind power and has to grab onto a nearby pipe so as to not be sucked out himself. Unfortunately, Vader's suit limited what he could do as a duelist, and so in a 1:1 with Luke, he is shown to easily lose, even after just a short while of training on Luke's side (Luke was able to beat back Vader over the edge of the carbon freezing platform in the Bespin Duel, though it's possible that Luke tapped into the dark side for assistance like he did for RotJ). We never see Luke's full force capabilities in the OT, but if the EU is anything to go by, Luke was far more powerful than Vader ever was at his height. If Vader had never lost the fight to Obi-Wan on Mustafar, he likely would have been the more powerful than Luke ever had been, but that's going into hypotheticals.
Go to 3:37. Do you know how much force it takes to rip a steel object from a wall it is welded too? A lot. At least as much as throwing senate pods, if not far more. He also force chokes Ozzel over a few kilometers distance. 1:06 Ripping thoughts from a trained Jedi's mind in the middle of battle. Vader also detects Luke's presence over astronomical distances in ROTJ. He is also capable of speaking with Luke over those distances in TESB. These are feats unparalleled by any other Jedi or Sith in the entire saga. And you are telling me that ROTS-Anakin, a guy who gets himself trapped in an energy cage, has more raw power at his disposal than Vader??!! It is simply put not true. It is rubbish told to us by the master of rubbish George Lucas, who wants to polish his new heroes and villains and craps on his old ones.
Vader fought Luke just as seriously in ROTJ. He wasn't trying to kill Luke in TESB either. The difference between the two duels is that Luke wasn't as inexperienced in ROTJ, and didn't allow himself to be caught in as many disadvantageous positions. While Vader wasn't trying to kill Luke in ROTJ either, he had an audience for that duel, and he would likely get no better opportunity than that one to realize his plans for Luke and Palpatine, so he was still trying not to look foolish. The fact that Luke succeeded once or twice in making Vader look foolish is really a credit towards how much Luke had improved, not how much less Vader was actually trying. I love it when you get all "righteously indignant!"
Why do people harp on who is more powerful with the Force . . . in terms of raw brute strength? Do we live in a society where brute strength or power is more important than a more subtle form of power?
ROTJ Vader was way weaker than the one we see in TESB. Vader is not Anakin anymore. Because of his wounds and his suit's dependence, all Vader's power come from the Dark Side, including his ability for saber duels. Hovewer, as we see in the short interview with Luke in Endor, to this point of the story, Vader's inner confict is already on. Somehow he loves his son, and he doesn't want to kill him. Such emotions are completely opposed to the Dark Side. Thus, they weaken him. Confronting Luke, he's unable to reach the hatred and rage that make him powerful. Moreover, because of the rule of two, Darth Vader had to be totaly conscious that, once before the Emperor, only one of them both could make it out with life. That knowledge had to be torturing him and undermining his focus. I disagree. ROTS-Anakin, and especially, ROTS-Vader, has more raw power at his disposal than Vader. The problem is that he doesn't know how to use it. At the begining of the movie, a part of Anakin's power on the Force come already from the Dark Side or, at least, it's not as pure as the jedi say it should be. Anakin knows it and it scares him. Thus, he refrains himself from use it. Furthermore, Anakin doesn't know how to control it. It all depend of his emotions. The stronger are his emotions, the more powerful he is. But the stronger are his emotions, less control he has over them. When he become Vader, he's not longer afraid to use him emotions to increase his power. Hovewer, because of his recent transformation, his emotions are still a confused tumult. Again, he doesn't know how to control them. (See, Padmé) The power itself is useless if one doesn't know what to do with it. Worse, if one lets it take control over oneself. Vader, on the other hand, with a minor amount of raw power, has a perfect dominion over it. He has mastered his skills for decades. His emotions don't longer control him. He has overcome his weaknesses and his power is folded to his wishes. This is... until Anakin Skywalker begins to live once again.

New York Giants tight end Martellus Bennett was not done working after his team dismantled the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. Bennett was walking toward the locker room after the 38-10 victory when a middle-aged fan lunged over the railing above the tunnel, lost his balance and began plummeting roughly 15 feet to the ground below.
Fortunately for the fan, Bennett was in the process of tossing his gloves to the fans and was there to break his fall.
"I was doing what I usually do, moseying to the locker room and meandering around," Bennett explained according to USA Today. "Naturally, I just wanted to step back, but I did the righteous thing and I stepped up. I caught him, I saved his life, I tapped into my inner superhero, which I do have.
"I'm usually a ninja, but my Spidey-senses told me he was going to take a fall, so I saved his life. He owes me his first-born or something. Actually I don't want that. Maybe a sandwich or something."
Bennett said he tried to slowly pull the ma...

As a result of its immovable and indestructible nature, land law is subject to a wider variety of rights, obligations and interests than most other areas of law and can often prove daunting to those studying the subject for the first time. Commonwealth Caribbean Property Law sets out in a clear and concise manner the central principles of property and land law in the region in order to guide students through this often complex and confusing core subject area. The new edition has been fully updated and revised to include important new case law from the Caribbean jurisdictions.
With comprehensive coverage of all the main topics studied by undergraduates, this textbook is essential reading for LLB students as well as those on the CAPE law programme. The extensive coverage of landlord and tenant law from a Caribbean perspective, combined with an analysis of the substantive laws from several jurisdictions, also makes this text a useful and worthwhile reference tool for practitioners.

Simon Stephens' Sea Wall premiered as a stage play at the Bush Theatre in London in 2008 to universal acclaim. It transferred with equal success to the Edinburgh Festival in 2009 where it sold out, and has now been made into a film as radical as it is humane.
The play was written for Olivier Award winning stage and film actor Andrew Scott, most recently seen playing Moriarty opposite Benedict Cumberbatch's Holmes in Sherlock on BBC1, and star of Ibsen's "Emperor and Galilean " at the National Theatre.

Hardy annuals can be sown directly into their flowering positions in the spring and will tolerate a certain amount of cold. Well-known flowers such as sweet peas, poppies, stocks and sunflowers fall under this category, as do some of the more unusual flowers - gomphocarpus & ratibida for example.
Californian Poppy 'Peach Sorbet'Eschscholzia californica, California poppy Double to semi-double blooms in a mouth watering combination of soft peachy-pink with a hint of cream. Eschscholzia 'Peach Sorbet' is free flowering, producing a carpet of flowers set above delicate ferny foliage. These dainty hardy annuals are tougher than they appear and positively thrive on poor, dry soils. The papery flowers attract bees and hoverflies, and make excellent, if short-lived, cut flowers. California poppies are easy to grow in beds and borders, or let them self seed throughout gravel gardens to form natural drifts. Height and spread: 25cm (10"). More info |
Calendula officinalis nana 'Apricot Twist'English Marigold, Marigold, Pot Marigold Compact, extra-bushy plants quickly become smothered in gorgeous fully-double apricot flowers.

TEAMS: Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears
When a team can put up the sort of offensive numbers that the Detroit Lions can, it is easy to ignore what they do defensively. So far in the 2012 season, the Lions defense is giving up an average of 324 yards of total offense, good enough for ninth best in the league.
The strength of the Lions' defense lies in its front four. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is still a terror in the middle of the field despite a drop in play from his dominating rookie season in 2010. Through the first five games, Suh has a total of 2 1/2 sacks to go along with ten tackles. His rare combination of size and speed makes him one of the most difficult matchups for any offense line. Expect the Chicago Bears to double team Suh as much as possible with center Roberto Garza along with left guard Chilo Rachal.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, defensive tackle Corey Williams—who missed the last two games after getting his knee scoped—is expected to return Monday night against the Bears....

The second most popular story about the origins of Valentine's Day is that it derived from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia held around Feb. 14.
Lupercalia was a pagan festival that celebrated the return of spring and beseeched the gods for fertility of the land, animals and people. It was a rather "interesting" holiday that involved animal sacrifices, men running around town half-naked and drunk, young women lining up to be whipped, and a lottery system that paired the men up with a mate for a year. Yeah, I wish I could say I made that up.
Nevertheless, whichever origin story you prefer, neither is a Harlequin romance novel. In fact, these stories indicate that the original Valentine's Day was not about the uniting of two perfect soul mates forever and forever.
Indeed, they thumb their noses at the commercialized and idyllic notion of romantic love that modern Valentine's Day propagates, which is a liberating notion for those who find this day to be depressing and lonely.
So, instead of letting society dictate the meaning of Valentine's Day, make it your own day and celebrate the meaning you give it. This could be honoring love in all its forms or celebrating a time when you stood up for your beliefs and bravely faced negative consequences, like Priest Valentine did.
Or, you may wish to celebrate the coming of spring and the rebirth of the earth and the spirit ala Lupercalia (only without the animal sacrifices, public nudity and sexual assault).
Need some ideas for your alternative Valentine's Day celebration? Here are a few for singles and couples alike.
For singles
- Have a girl's night out with your fellow single friends. Dress up in your best outfit or your most outrageously campy one -- think tiaras, feather boas, gloves, pageant sashes.
- Instead of the regular dinner with drinks, have a champagne and dessert-only night. Later on, catch the Divas of Broadway drag show at the Broadway Bar on Leon Sullivan Way.
- Host a pajama or move night party. Or both! Challenge everyone to create a pro- or anti-Valentine's Day-themed drink or appetizer. Watch your favorite non-romantic "chick flick" (my favorite's "Muriel's Wedding"), a horror film, or a beefcake movie such as "Magic Mike."
- For those who like it dark and Machiavellian, Season 2 of "House of Cards" premiers on Friday.
- If you don't have time or want to host a party? Throw one for yourself! That way, you won't have to share your Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Don't shave! Bring out that Snuggie you've been hiding since your grandma bought it for you a few years ago and watch the entire series of "Drop Dead Diva" or "Orange is the New Black." Yeah, try doing that if you have a boyfriend or spouse.
- Give yourself a day at the spa.
- Devote the day to doing things you love the most, whether that be reading, working on your novel or short story, playing guitar or finishing that painting.
- Write yourself a love letter, outlining all the wonderful and unique things about you. And don't forget to buy yourself a gift as a token to your awesomeness!
- If you are the type that tends to wallow in sadness on Valentine's Day, volunteer at a local food kitchen, homeless shelter or nursing home. Nothing stops self-pity and brings you perspective like helping people in need.
For couples
- Instead of doing the same old routine dinner and a movie, do something personalized for your significant other. Cook him or her that favorite dish. If you are the messy type, clean the house for your partner or hire someone to do it. Fix something he or she wanted to have repaired for a while. If there is a "honey-do" list lying around, you have a great starting place for ideas.
- Have a treasure hunt that leads to inexpensive but sentimental items to celebrate your relationship, such as framed pictures of you both and small symbolic gifts.
- For wine or beer lovers, give your partner a selection of his or her favorite beverage, or introduce them to a new type altogether. Order take-out and have a tasting at home.
- Have a picnic in the privacy of your home -- with candlelight.
- Have a couple's massage or spa day.
- Take a cooking, art, sport or photography class together.
- Take a weekend road trip together and explore a new city.
- Take a ballroom or Latin dance class at the Moose Lodge on Kanawha Boulevard. Beginner class starts at 6:30 p.m.
- Alternatively, explore your own city. Bring a camera and document your adventures.
