Kevin Garnett explains the Celtic way
Forgive me for not posting anything yet this morning. I've been working on an Avery Bradley post and finding out that it's very difficult to properly describe the way I feel about him.
While I struggle with my by-now-probably-very-butchered opinion on Bradley (which will likely publish sometime around 4:30 or 5, or whenever my writer's block of sorts goes away), do yourself a favor and read Ben Rohrbach's piece about Kevin Garnett and the Celtic way. Here's a brief quote from it. (WEEI)
"There are no I's. There are no You's. It's a We. It's an Our. It's a They. It's an Us," said Garnett. "The first thing you have to have in here is that you have to understand what you're coming into, understand that being a Celtic is bigger than anybody in this locker room. You're carrying on tradition. You have to have a work ethic. You have to care about the next guy beside you. If you can't and if you don't, then you're not here. It's the culture here."
It's that simple?
"It's the only thing," he added. "It's a Doc Rivers thing. It's a Celtics thing. It's a Boston thing."

Too bad Doc and the team haven't bought in to the Celtic way of rebounding and not taking nights off. Otherwise, a good look into why the Cs are heads and shoulders above the league when it comes to tradition and playing for titles (Lakers get talent and are not built on tradition). Go Cs…play f'in harder!!!

I wish Garnett would have talked Celtics Tradition to Danny Ainge when Ainge decided to torpedo last season just so he could stick it to Perkins and to the players generally. Or, Mr. Garnett, Sir, do your rules of Celtic Pride apply only to minions like players, and not to big shots like Danny and the owners?

paul…not to restart our 'the trade' war, but if you take a look at KP's stats this season you will see why those of us that supported moving Perk continue to feel the move was more than justified. His mediocre offensive and rebounding stats (6 pts/6 rebs) are offset by TOs and fouls and so far he isn't even close to the player he was with the Cs. As I have said before, KG's defense significantly helped Perk's defensive efforts and so far it does not seem he is getting that same help with OKC. Lastly, and something RR I'm sure appreciates greatly, his presence clogged up the middle which now is wide open with the Cs so RR can drive and dish more efficiently. Go Cs…

About Bradley: if Rondo would lay a little bit of that tenacious defense on some of his opponents, he would do some MAJOR defensive damage to other teams.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
He does, in stretches.
But your also talking about a guy who plays 30+ minutes a game, and goes hard running the offense and fast break for all 30 of those minutes.
To also ask him to pressure full court on the opposing PG for that time is insane. He'd be dog tired by the second half every night.
Rondo plays hard minutes as it is, he's gotta be able to take a breather for time to time.
Which is exactly why Bradley can be so valuable, since his minutes are less and he's not being asked to do much offensively (other than hopefully knock down some open shots) he can go 100% all out on the defensive end every second he's on the floor.

The Department of Education is considering relaxing a rule about when children enter kindergarten.
The DOE previously intended to make sure all children turning five in a given calendar year began kindergarten that same year, even if the child had a late birthday.
If parents didn't comply and waited a year to enroll their child, the child would then be put into first grade.
Now, the DOE has a new proposal that would give parents, principals and school superintendents a say in which grade the student should be placed in.
Parents would be allowed to submit documentation to make their case for a particular grade, with the superintendent making the final decision.

(endo- within, dontics- tooth) is the specialized
branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis
and treatment of diseases and injuries of the
dental pulp (nerve). Root canal therapy is the
most common method of treating diseases of the
nerve, but occasionally a surgical procedure called
an apicoectomy is required instead. The reason
for needing a root canal is injury to the nerve,
caused by such irritants as decay, deep fillings,
orthodontics, crowns, periodontal disease, accidental
trauma, developmental defects, etc.
The most common symptoms of a tooth needing a
root canal are one or more of the following: pain
brought on by heat or cold, pain to chewing or
tapping pressure, swelling around a tooth, discoloration,
and spontaneous toothache. Conducting tests to
determine the presence of these symptoms, along
with the examination of an x-ray are the only
accurate means of diagnosing the necessity for
root canal therapy. If none of the above symptoms
are present and the x-ray looks normal, root canal
therapy may not be necessary. Occasionally a tooth
that displays no symptoms may be diagnosed solely
from an x-ray as needing root canal therapy, but
this is unusual. Endodontic symptoms usually come
and go or rise and fall in intensity, making diagnosis
accurate only if and when symptoms are present.
Root canal therapy consists of the removal of
the dental pulp (nerve), followed by its replacement
with a specialized filling material (gutta percha).
A tooth with a well-placed root canal can usually
be maintained for a lifetime once your regular
dentist properly restores the tooth. If a root
canal is not performed, the tooth almost always
will be lost due to infection and loss of supporting
bone. If an abscess (infection) in the bone is
already present, a root canal will usually provide
relief and help the bone return to a healthy condition.
If a chronic (stubborn) abscess or cyst has formed,
a surgical procedure (apicoectomy) may be needed
later if root canal therapy alone does not eliminate
the infection or cyst.
Root canals are usually accomplished in two appointments,
but occasionally may be done in a single visit
if favorable circumstances exist. The initial
visit is spent conducting a thorough examination
to determine if a root canal is needed, which
tooth is the offending one, and what is the best
method of treatment. The exam includes a health
history, necessary x-rays, an oral examination,
and, most importantly, any specific tests necessary
to achieve a correct diagnosis of which tooth
is causing the symptoms you wish eliminated. About
half the time, the tooth actually causing the
symptoms is different from the tooth your brain
thinks is the offending one. This phenomenon is
called "referred pain" and is very
common in the diagnosis of oral pain. Each tooth
must be accurately and thoroughly tested so as
to avoid an incorrect diagnosis. There is a nominal
fee for consultation and diagnosis. If you choose
to begin a root canal today, the diagnosis fee
is included in the root canal fee; otherwise,
it is separate.
first goal is to accurately assess x-rays and
symptoms to determine if a root canal is necessary.
Radiographs (x-rays) must be taken and each suspicious
tooth must be individually tested with heat, cold,
pressure, chewing, etc., to determine which is
the offending tooth. Referred pain (your brain
thinking the pain is from one tooth when it is
really from a different tooth) is common in the
oral cavity. About half of our patients assume
the pain is coming from a tooth different from
the one actually causing the pain. Therefore,
a correct diagnosis is our primary concern before
beginning treatment.
After testing has identified the proper tooth,
a local anesthetic is given to anesthetize the
tooth. The amount and type of anesthetic required
varies from patient to patient and from tooth
to tooth. Please inform our staff if you have
any allergies to medications, as this may impact
which anesthetic we do use.
Once anesthetized (numb), a rubber dam is placed
over the tooth to isolate it from the bacteria
in your mouth. Any decay, old filling material
or weak tooth structure is removed and a hole
is made in the tooth surface to gain access to
the nerve itself. (If the tooth has an existing
crown on it, a small hole is drilled through the
crown to accomplish the root canal and is refilled
after treatment.)
Next, the nerve is removed using small files
designed to follow the curved path of the canals
within the root. The number of canals varies from
one to four, but all canals must be cleaned of
nerve tissue to the tip end (apex) of each root.
Many endodontists remove only part of the nerve
at the first visit (pulpotomy), but we take additional
time to remove the entire nerve (pulpectomy).
Once the nerve is removed, a long cylindrical
void remains, similar in shape to the channel
left in a ball-point pen when the refill is removed.
A small piece of cotton moistened with a disinfectant
is placed within the tooth to kill any bacteria
that may be present. The hole that was drilled
in the tooth is then filled with a temporary cement,
sealing in the disinfectant until you return for
the completion visit.
An appointment for the completion of the root
canal will also be made at this time. Postponing
the completion of your root canal risks the recurrence
of pain and infection, and necessitates cleaning
the tooth out again when the completion appointment
is scheduled.
At the end of the first visit, you are given
prescriptions for an antibiotic and a pain reliever,
and instructed if and when to fill them. Most
patients never need the medications, but they
are available to you as a precaution. You are
also given a handout explaining how rapidly each
of your symptoms should subside, how soon you
may eat on your tooth, and what foods to avoid.
Please allow approximately one hour of your time
for treatment. Since some patients are more difficult
to numb than others, the visit can vary in length
from thirty minutes to one hour.
Symptom: Momentary sensitivity
to hot or cold foods.
Possible problem: The sensitivity
may be caused by a small decay, a loose filling
or by minimal gum recession that exposes small
areas of the root surface.
Symptom: Sharp pain when biting
down on food.
Possible problem: There are
several possible causes of this type of pain:
decay, a loose filling or crack in the tooth.
There may also be damage to the pulp tissue inside
the tooth.
Symptom: Constant and severe
pain and pressure, swelling of gum and sensitivity
to touch.
Possible problem: A tooth may
have become abscessed, causing an infection in
the surrounding gingival tissue and bone.
Symptom: Dull ache and pressure
in upper teeth and jaw.
Possible problem: The pain
of a sinus headache is often felt in the face
and teeth. Grinding of teeth, a condition known
as bruxism, can also cause this type of ache.

RadioShack Will Learn the Hard Way What J.C. Penney Knows
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With great fanfare and at great cost, RadioShack
(RSH) recently let the world know through Super Bowl advertising that it would be remodeling its stores in an effort to boost sales. On Jan. 25, 2012, Ron Johnson, then-chief executive officer of
J.C. Penney
(JCP), announced the retailer would be
reconfiguring its stores to boost sales. On that day, the stock closed at $34.27. There was great hope this would work as Johnson had headed up the retail operations of
The results to date: Johnson was fired last April, he was then selected as the one of the worst chief executive officers of 2013 by Professor Sydney Finkelstein of Dartmouth, and the stock of J.C. Penney is now trading around $6.15 a share with a short float of close to 40% (5% is considered to be troubling).
Don't expect any different results than those from J.C. Penney. Just like J.C. Penney, there has been an increase afterwards in RadioShack's stock price. There are many reasons to use this rise to sell if long on RadioShack and short, if possible (there is already a short float of more than 40% for RadioShack, so good luck borrowing some shares to short).
In May 2007, RadioShack was trading around $35.00 a share.
Now it is about $2.65 (after the recent rise). There have been no shortage of attempts to turn around the beleaguered consumer electronics retailer. Over the last two years, there has been an emphasis on smart phones to improve earnings.According to Finviz, earnings-per-share growth is off by 22.90% over the past five years. This year, earnings-per-share growth is down in the triple digits. The return-on-equity for RadioShack is a negative 52.80%, so clearly the smart phone strategy did not work.The management of RadioShack is now reported to be closing 500 stores. That will take the number of stores to around 3800. In an interview in November, RadioShack Chief Executive Officer Joe Magnacca stated, "I think we're a 4,000-plus network. My job is to make sure that we've got the market covered." His main job now is to take the number of stores well beneath that total. There is no reason to expect that to work better for RadioShack than it has for J.C. Penney. The same competitive forces in the retail sector, Apple, Amazon (AMZN), and Wal-Mart (WMT), are not going anywhere. If anything, each is getting stronger. Amazon is spending billions to build warehouses across the country to expedite delivery. Tablets are a top layaway item for holidays for Wal-Mart. Consumer electronic sales should only increase for these two retail giants. For Apple, sales soared for the App Store over the last holiday season. Unlike Radio Shack, Amazon, Apple, and Wal-Mart are profitable with earnings and sales increasing. RadioShack is caught up in a "perfect storm" of adverse market conditions. It is confronted by the toughest competitors in the market in a very competitive product line. It has no other goods such as groceries to lure customers to the store, as does Wal-Mart. Nothing in a RadioShack store even compares to the "Genius Bar" experience at an Apple store. Amazon is unrivaled for online sales. Expending precious capital to reconfigure stores is likely to have the same results as those for J.C.Penney. At the time of publication the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
This Gallic eatery is more cozy and inviting than the oddball name suggests. Crêpes are the house specialty; we liked Le St. Barth, a delicate, toasted-brown pancake filled with earthy slices of portobello mushrooms, warm goat cheese and punchy truffle oil. The rest of the menu changes daily, but look out for the extravagant gratin de coquilettes—a gooey hybrid of baked mac and cheese and potatoes gratin. Desserts are hit-or-miss: A white-chocolate mousse tasted artificial, but panna cotta, made using the pastry chef's grandmother's recipe, was simple and satisfying.

Directions: Hwy 51 North, look
for signs directing to State Park.
Trail Information: One of the WORST trails I have ever run! As I was traveling through the region, I didn't have time to explore the other trails in the park thoroughly, but I hear that there IS good trail running in Shelby Farms. But I would encourage you to avoid the "white" trail, as it is very poorly marked and apparently has received no maintenance and very little traffic in recent months. About 3 miles into the trail, I frequently found that the trail kind of died, and I spent several minutes looking for the white markers on the trees, eventually giving up and cutting my run short. Also, too many obstacles (fallen trees, overgrowth, branches, etc.). I like a challenging trail, but I want to run, not spend all my time climbing over trees and trying to figure out where the trail is. The state of TN should be ashamed to claim ownership of this land. Get some local volunteers to clean this place up! It has the potential to be a great trail.
Additional Information: The preceding directions are for the Meeman Shelby Forest State Park recreational area. Shelby Farms is a county owned and operated facility. It is, if not the largest urban park in the country, one of the largest with over 4500 acres of rolling fields, Southern hardwood bottomland forests, thirty one lakes, hiking, biking and paved multi-use trails, remote controlled aircraft field, kite flying area, picnic areas and a 7000 square foot visitors center with meeting rooms, nature center and restrooms. This building also houses the parks' administration offices. We have, at present, a "white trail " also. This trail runs from the Germantown Road trail head for approximately 2 miles. We have ranger maintenance and it is well defined although sometimes people do wander off the trail in search of adventure and get into the Lucious Burch Jr. State Natural Area which only allows "foot" traffic. One very important fact concerning the trails at Shelby Farms is that we have fulltime and volunteer rangers that regularly travel them. Even though they could always be improved, they are not ill kept and the white trail is predominately a mountain biking trail.Tim Martin,

What's the dil dil dil dil dilio?
Good past couple of days... I went to maine with Heather and Amy to pick up her cousin Val. That was fun. We stole signs there and stuff. A little tension got started - but that's all settled now. I'm glad that we had that tension - it got some of the stuff that I wanted to say off of my chest. Phew. Anyways... I had Heather pierce my ears a couple of days ago. It was the night that we stayed over Kayleys. I like 'em. Not much to say, except that I'm staying occupied. I guess I'm no longer sleeping my summers away. Today we went to Salvy's and I bought the BEST shirt. It says "super cute" and has a picture of a panda on it. It's so cute. We rocked the DDR at kayley's house for a few hours. LoL. i <3 Kayley.Everyone has been running into trouble lately - if anyone has anything to say about me, say it to me. please. I'm also here to talk if you have other troubles.I'm mad that my cell phone bill isn't gettin paid.......... I feel lonely

Day 1
U.S. / Managua, Nicaragua / Leon
Travel to Nicaragua independently, landing in Managua to begin your Nicaragua tour. You'll be met at the airport and transferred to Leon, where you have the rest of the day at leisure. Spend the next two nights at Hotel El Convento. (Meals Aloft)
Day 2
Juan Venado Island Reserve / Leon
Explore Juan Venado Island Reserve, a protected area forming part of the country's vital coastal wetland region. From Las Peñitas beach, our naturalist leads a two-hour private boat ride along this barrier island and the mangrove swamps separating it from the coast. This area provides the ideal home for an abundance of animal life, including water birds, caiman, crocodiles, iguanas, crustaceans and more. Since there is no human population residing on the island, we enjoy the sense of peaceful seclusion. Return to Leon and tour this colonial city, first settled in 1524. The city has existed in its current location since 1610, when it was moved after being destroyed during an eruption of Momotombo Volcano. During our tour, see the monumental cathedral, the largest in Central America, located at the main square, the birth place of Ruben Dario and the Ortiz Gurdian art gallery. This walking tour is the perfect time to learn about this city's historic murals as well as its role in the social, economic and political development of Nicaragua. At Hervideros de San Jacinto, feel the heat rising from the interior of the Earth, and observe the impressive mud boiling inside these craters. (B,L,D)
Day 3
Selva Negra Private Reserve
As we explore more of Nicaragua, ecotourism enthusiasts will love our time in the cloud forest at Selva Negra EcoLodge, a sustainable coffee plantation and wildlife preserve. Nestled in the central highlands, we spend two nights in this private reserve. Our afternoon is spent on one of the many trails, where we hope to spot some of the bird species attracted by the reserve's fruiting trees. Since the property is situated along the continental divide between the Pacific and Atlantic lowlands, our sightings could include a mix of both Pacific and Atlantic-slope bird species. (B,L,D)
Days 4 & 5
Selva Negra Private Reserve
Spend the morning strolling on trails through the cloud forest. Later we tour the coffee plantation, learning about the processes harvesting their shade-grown coffee. During the afternoons, we are back on the trails surrounding the reserve looking for butterflies, howler monkeys, agoutis and over 220 bird species, including keel-billed toucans, blue-winged warblers and hummingbirds. One evening, enjoy an enriching lecture on Nicaragua ecotourism and the local ecological efforts being led by owners of the lodge. (B,L,D Daily)
Day 6
Selva Negra / Granada
Make our way to Granada, on the shores of Lake Nicaragua. Named after the city Granada in Spain, this atmospheric city features colonial churches clustered around narrow streets and large homes with beautiful patios and tiled roofs. You will have the opportunity to walk around the main plaza to see La Merced church, Zamora family home, Casa de Los Tres Mundos and the San Francisco convent. At the convent, we have the opportunity to learn about the mysterious, pre-Columbian idols. While strolling through the city, learn about its colorful history, including the 1855 invasion by William Walker. Spend tonight at the Hotel Dario or Hotel Plaza Colon, our home for the next three nights. (B,L)
Day 7
Montibelli Private Reserve / Chocoyero Reserve
Spend a full day exploring the tropical dry forests of the Montibelli Private Reserve and Chocoyero Reserve. Montibelli is an award-wining privately owned park and arguably one of the best forest reserves in the Pacific basin for bird watching. 156 species of fauna have been identified here, including endangered species such as mono congo, sahin, guatusa, parrot of the Pacific, and six species of hummingbird. Here we may spot manikins, trogons and Nicaragua's national bird Guardaborranco – the turquoise browed motmot. The park is also known for an abundance of butterflies. Spend the afternoon at Chocoyero Reserve, home to hummingbirds, toucans, wrens, deer, agouti and its most famous inhabitant the "Chocoyo Coludo" — or green parakeet. Over 800 of these marvelous birds live and nest on a rocky wall of a waterfall in the park. Search in the lush vegetation of the canopy for howler monkeys and white-faced capuchins, and be on the look-out for small cat species such as tigrillo and gato del monte. (B,L,D)
Day 8
Lake Nicaragua / Masaya Reserve
This morning enjoy a relaxing boat ride around the islands of Lake Nicaragua, formed by Mombacho Volcano, observing the local bird life and people of the islands. Spend some time browsing in the Masaya Market before continuing on our evening excursion to Masaya Volcano. After gazing across the volcano and surrounding landscape from our vantage point at La Cruz de Bobadilla, observe the green parakeets that roost on the volcano. These birds have adapted to the sulfur smoke and actually live within the crater. As dusk approaches, we also watch as a large numbers of bats depart en masse from their caves. Descend into an underground tunnel formed by lava streams. Equipped with flashlights and helmets, we observe interesting rock formations. Our Nicaragua tour ends with a stop to look inside the crater mouth, seeing the glowing, red lava before our farewell dinner in Masaya. (B,L,D)
Day 9
Granada / U.S.
Transfer to the airport in Managua to board your flights to the U.S. (B, Meals Aloft)

Every gardener loves the sweet fragrance and lush blooms of lilacs. These elegant shrubs are a highlight of late spring. But sadly, the delectable blooms are gone all too quickly, leaving you pining for that perfume until next year.
Well, not anymore! Spring Hill Nurseries® has a special treat just for lilac lovers like you—Josee Lilac— a truly amazing reblooming lilac!
While most lilacs bloom for only a couple weeks, Josee keeps going and going, offering up a cascade of gorgeous, heavenly-scented flowers intermittently from late spring until frost!
This miracle of floral beauty is the result of painstaking work by expert breeders. To achieve such a long blooming period, they crossbred three different lilac types over the course of many years. The results speak for themselves. Josee is fast becoming THE lilac to grow—even more popular than traditional French lilacs.
An American Tradition
Native to Europe and Asia, lilacs (Syringa) include about 20 species of deciduous, flowering shrubs and are members of the olive family. Lilacs have been enjoyed by American gardeners since the mid 1750s. Especially popular in New England, where they were sometimes called €œpipe trees,€ they were grown in America's first botanical gardens. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew them. Today, there are over 1,000 varieties of lilacs, but none can compare to Josee the amazing reblooming lilac—giving you a whole season's worth of beauty and fragrance.
Hundreds of lavender-pink florets appear on long, luxuriant panicles. After the first heavy bloom in late spring, given adequate moisture, Josee will continue to flower intermittently all summer long until frost. All the while, the heady sweet fragrance attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. At just 4-6' tall with a 4-5' spread, this delightful dwarf variety is perfect for borders, hedges or as a stand-alone specimen. Simply wonderful for bouquets!
The Heady Perfume You Adore!
Aside from roses, there is no flower as aromatic as lilac. And Josee is simply unbeatable when it comes to tantalizing fragrance. Just a single bouquet of the lush panicles will fill an entire room with perfume! They add both visual and fragrant impact to any mixed arrangement. Dry the blooms for charming sachets—perfect for dresser drawers or as gifts for your friends and family!
Attracts Hummingbirds and Butterflies—but Not Deer!
Josee is great for attracting colorful, beneficial wildlife to your property. Beautiful butterflies and pollinating bees can't resist the fragrant flowers. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are also connoisseurs of lilac nectar. However, one animal that won't visit your lilacs is deer!
Easy-Care Beauty that Lasts for Decades
Josee is tough, deer resistant and hardy in zones 2-9. For best results, simply plant in full sun in well-draining, humus-rich soil. To encourage more plentiful blooms, you can remove spent flowers using a pair of hand pruners. Josee may be easily trimmed and shaped as you desire. One of our favorite places for these lilacs is near the kitchen window—the sweet perfume drifts right in on the summer breeze! Like trees, lilac bushes can live for hundreds of years, so you may look forward to a lifetime of lilac-scented summers!

I got two of these back in 2007 from Springhill but was disappointed. Not many blooms, and kind of sparse, year after year. Then someone told me to add ashes from the fireplace during the winter and presto! That, with Espoma lime in early March, did the trick. Mine look like the Springhill picture now.
"I boughttwo of these pretty plants last spring (2011). They started to grow almost immediatey. Unfortunately, I lost one because the intense heat burned it and the roots just couldn't grow. The other one is still okay and hopefully will grow to see another season. Just too hot and dry this year for little ones. I'll be watching next spring!"
"It arrived in September 2010. A great start, but our local deer eat absolutely everything, so they ate all the leaves very soon. I was not discouraged. I built a protective fence and I saw it coming to life in spring. Then I got my second surprise: the tiny plant not even 10 inches tall produced 3 beautiful flowers! Amazing. Then came the 3rd surprise: in the midst of rain and bloom, it died as if not watered at all. Why? But I will try again. From what I have seen it will be worth it."
"I bought one of these 2 years ago, started it in a pot until my new bed was ready. It grew to 4 feet the first year-wow! You do need to water often and remove spent flowers to get it to rebloom, but mine now blooms until November. Buy this!!!"
received in sept of 2009. have already grown two inches. ordered plants this year and many didnt survive due to severe weather. springhill replaced dead plants and new ones are doing great. best mail order i have used and great customer service.
"got plants in sept 09, have already grown about 2 inches. Love springhill nuseries. Have had really bad weather this year, and springhill has replaced all of the plants that I ordered this year that did not make due to the weather. thank you springhill. great prices and company to order from."
"After three years in the ground this Josee lilac is fantastic. Heavy blooms, and the growth rate is fast it's now 5 foot tall. Beautiful plant."
"Last year I bought a ""Josee Reblooming Lilac"" from Springhill. It has now been in the ground for two years. The plant has grown to ten times its original size! Like my other lilac bushes it bloomed in the spring. Now, as our Mediterranean weather pattern heats up into the 90's it is still adding new growth at a prodigious rate. In addition to the foliar growth I am seeing many partially opened and un-opened flower panicles appearing. This lilac is amazing. It is hard to get lilacs to perform their best in our dry, hot California climate. If I were to recommend only one Lilac to a fellow Zone 9 Gardener, it would be this one. This little plant is out performing the Lilacs that were planted when the house was first built in 1930. A hardy, constant performer."
"I have bought plants,from Springhill for years,everything is first class with an iron clad guarantee for life, I TELL Everyone buy your plants from Springhill, They have the best, and they are replaced for life, Prices are the best. I just planted three iris plants and one is blooming already. Has'nt been in the ground more than a week. I never thought Iris would grow in Florida, but Springhill has them, Thanks Springhill, Your Plants are the best. And your Company has the best guarantee than anyone in the world, Thanks Ethel M. Pearson"

Glowing with the warmth of thousands of contented sighs, the Royal Health Spa in Hacienda Heights offers a half a hundred ways to forget about your worries. Reds and golds dominate this sanctuary of serenity, which treats clients to steam rooms, saunas, and three temperature tubs. Elsewhere in the hideaway guests can kick back in the VIP lounge, or nibble treats from the fruit and snack bar.
Sister spa Sakura ups the ante with soothing massage and aromatherapy services to complement the steam sauna. Here, an assortment of thick carpets, bamboo wall fixtures, and hanging greenery completes the tropical feel. A San Gabriel Valley fixture for more than 20 years, Sakura Health Spa heals guests with uncommonly intense massages such as the Four Hands and the Lava Stone.
At first glance, Atlantic Spa's menu appears very succinct. But in fact, all three of their massages have extras not often included in regular treatments. Clients with particularly tense muscles might enjoy either of the 60-minute services?in one massage therapists warm up muscles with hot stones, and in another, two therapists come together to thoroughly treat multiple problem areas. The 70-minute treatment integrates multiple spa-like therapies, including traditional body massage, reflexology, and a paraffin dip that gets feet softer than the velvet eggs they hatched from.
Harmony Day Spa is a boutique day spa that specializes in reflexology and aromatherapy massage. At the spa's newly opened second location, therapists supplement relaxing Swedish and deep-tissue massages with popular extras such as hot packs and cooling gel pads for the eyes. Their signature foot massage induces relaxation by applying gentle pressure to the heel, toes, and sickle-shaped claw, and eyelash services enhance and revamp looks.
At Omni Massage, part of Omni Salon, clients can stride past the green plants that fleck the front door and stretch out on a massage table, ready for soothing strokes from the in-house massage therapist. The therapist's full-body kneads restore peace to anxious minds and muscles, improving circulation in the process. Omni Salon complements bodywork sessions with hair services, nail treatments, and skincare such as facials.

What do vaginas taste like?
My boyfriend says the girls before me tasted gooey so that's why he won't eat me out. What have the ones you came across tasted like? Are they all... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I have tasted a fair few and the general consensus I can give to you through my experiences is most women taste a little salty down there (much like sweat) and the aroma is musky with the slight sent of body odour!Though my description doesn't make it sound all that appealing trust me it is... Remember we are human beings and deep down we work on the same instincts (Males are attracted to female pheremones and vise versa)...Personally I enjoy going down on a girl that I'm with and its not weird for me at all. All he has to do is basically tickle/ massage your clit with his toungue and lips for you to feel pleasure from this experience, its not as if he has to bury his mouth deep into your p**** and never come out for air... Of course diet and hygeine plays a huge part with how you both smell and taste down there, so just like men can drink pineapple to make there come taste sweeter there are similar methods for the girls.So tell your man to either get over it or go and find yourself a new one who will satisfy your needs.I know its a major turn off when a girl won't go down on me so I can see why this is a problem for you.
What Guys Said 15
A bit like snot. Unremarkable.
I unfortunately agree. I want to please my lady. but i have this odd issue with taste and tectures. certain things make me gag or turn my stomach. so even though it really isn't that bad. its still not good. i need to fifgure a way to make it doable without gaging which would be the obvious turn off.
I;ve only gone down on one girl. She was a germ-o-phobe, so her hygiene was top-notch.Her p***y tasted, literally, sweet...w/ a hint of tartness, like lemon juice. There was a body-odor scent, but that's natural & doesn't bug me. She asked me what she tasted like & I tell her that she tasted like lemonade. Whenever I drank lemonade I'd jokingly say "this tastes likes your p***y" lol. :)Then again...she was a vegetarian, & I heard that they "taste" different than meat-eating girls (don't be lame with the cheap joke please).
Gooey? That's not a taste, that's a texture.Obviously, he isn't a cunnilingus connoisseur, is he? ;)I haven't met one yet that I would call "gross"... a girl can taste different from one day to the next, and yes, I guess some tastes might be better than others, but never 'gross'.
for me personally its not that tatse so much as the texture. i dont like things that are viscous and kinda salty. its kinda like licking snot. i really wanna get past this feeling but i have tried to just butch up and go at it so many times thinking maybe after i do it so many times it'll just e whatever. it hasnt. That makes me sad because i wanna know i'm doing a good job i like giving as well as getting. but i dont wanna vommit in the middle of it. THATS NOT COOL. PLEASE HELP?
You might ask your girlfriend to "train" you... Tie you to a bed and straddle you...
It's gross, I had a girl (she was 35 and I was 25) basically sit on my face and rub her p**** in my face and it was awful, I got all this... bodily fluid... on me and it smelt like body odor. I don't think I'll ever be going down on another girl, unless I really really love her (and she has good hygeine). I don't like receiving oral sex either so, it may just be a 'thing' with me... vagina's are gross and ugly, so are penises, they're all gross and ugly.
I have tasted one girl that was gross. She was a bit heavier and for some reason, she tasted funky. I recommend the douching route before intimacy.As for his refusal to go down. Was it expressed politely or was he being a jerk. Sounds like it was done in mean-spirited manor, and you should remind him that next time he pawing at you.Dump him.
Douching is so bad for you, don't.
A healthy ph balanced vagina tastes like a dry champagne. That's not a euphemism. If you smoke, the taste is detectable, some fruits as well. Asparagus is nasty. The taste can vary greatly before and after menstruation.
I think that one either likes the taste or not, and it's as much mental as anything. Use a ph balanced soap, and try eating pineapple or any citrus fruit for a day or so before offering this "special treat" to your partner.
iv only gone down on a few girls and the act is very pleasurable for me and obviously for her, i guess you could call me a Cunnilingus Connoisseur, but the girl im currently seeing has a fishy smell which is slightly off putting but i can look past that as the pleasure i feel from going down on her is ten-fold more interesting than the smell. besides he doesn't have to dig his head in there all the way into your pussy, all he needs to touch is your clit which doesn't have any smell or taste.
What Girls Said 8
well all my bfs well I have had 4 so far all serious...they all told me I taste sweet and smell kinda lke baby powder down there...i think it's cause of my eating habits like eating a lot of fruits and ttaking vitamins ...and I love showering so I'm always clean...yea my boyfriend eats me everyday...like he says he'll do anything for me ...once I let him eat me...but I guess it's a win win situation...but I think more on my side ;) LOL
from past guys, have told me I tasted really sweet, kinda like candy
oh my...!
- Show Older Hide Older
lol I'm kinda the same according to boyfriend, he didn't say like candy, but he said sweeter and actually enjoyable. I don't know if its to do with my diet or anything, I eat a lot of fruit each day maybe that makes it taste better? no idea, but anyway, I'm not complaining lol, and I tasted myself and have to say I like it :) hehe
haha I eat a lot of fruit too it's like my addiction, and yea I would say I do taste sweet!
UH OH! scared away by a bad experience ey? Well I don't think he was an asshole just yet you could try a few things like: 8 bottles of water a day or at least 5 cranberry juice is nicecut back on soda and caffeineavoid fast food beef and fish in generalplenty of fruitkeep it shaved or trimmeddo not cross your legs ( causes sweating )always wear cotton panties and wear thongs at a minimumThis should keep it smelling the freshest and tasting the sweetest... He's traumatized... lol see if you can get him to trust you so he will go down on you.
Dunno if you want to target this to only guys eating out girls, but I'll put in my two cents I suppose..I dated a girl back when I was in high school, so this was like... 5 years ago, but my girlfriend's taste tended to change a little, depending. I wouldn't say it was gooey though. Kinda... salty maybe? I dunno, because it's been awhile. Gooey's also not really a taste, more of a texture, and I think some textures really bother people when they go to eat something. Maybe the consistency seriously bothers him, in the same way I will never be able to swallow jello. The texture gets me every time. I digress, can't say I liked how my girlfriend tasted, but I didn't think it was horrible. If you think about it, vaginal discharge changes depending on the time of the month, health, and sexual stimulation, so the various kinds of discharge probably taste different. If you feel really strongly about it, ask him why he was willing to try it with multiple girls before you, but not you yourself?

Tips from the Pro
By Harry Dwyer, Gulf State Park Pro Shop
Lesson # 10 – BUNKER SHOT
I was playing the other day in my usual game and my fellow competitor hit his second shot in the green side bunker. When he got to his ball he had a hard time seeing it because it was buried so deep. He started hacking away and after the third stoke he gave up.
A buried shot in the bunker is not an easy shot, but don't give up. Approach it like you would any other bunker shot but move the ball back in your stance a bit. Toe the club in and swing the club at a steep angle. Explode hard into the ball with the toe of the club leading the way, with no follow through. Yes, I said no follow through. The ball will come out hard and hot with no spin like a knuckle ball, so be prepared for it to roll out.
There you go…See you at the course!
— Harry
Harry Dwyer is a 28-year veteran of the Professional Golfers' Association and an alumnus of the University of Alabama.

There has been a disturbing increase in anti-Muslim attacks in the UK after the murder of a soldier in May. A number of mosques and Islamic institutions in the UK have been the target of arson attacks in recent weeks.
An Islamic Centre in North London and an islamic boarding school in South London were set on fire last week in an apparent hate crime attack.
They all ideologically believe that Muslims are the other and out to create a narrative that is increasingly accepted and unchallenged within Britain that the Muslim community are violent, savage, barbaric, their religion has nothing to offer and is extreme.
Ashghar Bukhari, Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK
A mosque in Brixton was vandalised after a window was smashed last month and the Islamic centre in Milton Keynes was petrol bombed.
The Muslim community in the UK has also been subject to abuse on the internet.
It has all happened in the wake of the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby in southeast London last month.
In the weeks since the murder of Lee Rigby by self-professed Islamists, police in Britain have reported a marked increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
"We normally average one Islamophobic incident a day, about 35 hate crimes - we separate them out. We're currently experiencing about eight incidents a day on average - so there has been an increase, a lot if those incidents are name calling and criminal damage, and a number of them are more serious types of crimes like the one on Saturday that we're talking about and the one last week at the community centre," said Simon Letchford from the Metropolitan Police.
The English Defence League has been accused of fuelling racial hatred. The League denies any involvement in attacks, but its members say they are dedicated to protesting against "islamic extremism".
Meanwhile, Britain's Home Secretary Theresa May has spoken out against attacks on Muslim targets, which she described as deplorable.
"As I said at the time, this was not just an attack on an individual soldier, it was an attack on everyone in this country - people of all faiths and of none," said May about the Woolwich murder.
Muslims say they want the British government to stop the violence.
But is the government capable of putting an end to these attacks? And how much of a threat are they to the social fabric in the UK?
Inside Story, with presenter Veronica Pedrosa, discusses with guests: Matthew Tariq Wilkinson, the director of Curriculum for Cohesion; Asghar Bukhari from Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK; and Mohammed Shariq, a founding member of the Ramadhan Foundation.
"Let's be honest. We've had a problem of anti-Muslim hatred and attacks in our community since September 11, but actually over the past few years we've been able to work better with all parts of our society to build cohesive societies. But the problem is that we've got a mindset among a minority of extremists and terrorists - the ideological mindset that somehow terrorism and violence is acceptable."
- Mohammed Shariq, a founding member of the Ramadhan Foundation

strongbowcider.comMade in Hereford, England, by Bulmer's, Strongbow hard cider balances the bold taste of bittersweet fermented cider with the fresh flavor of farmer's market apples.

Previously only available in the 18.7-ounce Victorian Pint bottle, Samuel Smith's is now sold in 12-ounce-bottle four-packs too.
Stella Artois Cidre
stellaartois.comLaunched in May, Stella Artois Cidre is a refreshing European-style cider made from hand-picked apples. Red apple, peach and apricot accents complement the subtle flavor of orange, giving this brew a refreshing taste with a pleasing wood finish. Pour it into a white wine glass and pair it with a semi-hard cheese like Manchego or a Waldorf salad.

Since Ford is replacing the entire engine lineup for the 2011 F-150 pickup trucks, it has apparently decided not to reinstall at least one component that is usually bolted to those engines: the hydraulic power steering pump. According to PickupTrucks.com, the updated models will be the first full-size trucks to use electric power steering (EPAS) almost across the board.
Previously, the only full-size trucks equipped with EPAS were the General Motors two-mode hybrid pickups and SUVs. These machines powered the system from the 42 volts available as an off-shoot of the high-voltage battery. All F-150s powered by the 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter Ecoboost and 5.0-liter V8 will use the on-demand, electric motor-driven steering assist in place of the traditional, always-on hydraulic system. Only the specialty Raptor and Harley-Davidson models with the larger, heavier 6.2-liter V8 will retain the old system. EPAS is expected to contribute a fuel efficiency improvement of up to four percent thanks to the reduced parasitic losses.
