Actually, this is exactly wrong. Think about how a show comes into existence...the planning, testing, piloting, etc. You're looking at it through a post show successful launch. Now back up to prior to shows launching and how they come about. You will have many fewer new shows, much less of the riskier ones because there will no incentive to create them.
I don't dispute that there might be fewer new shows, but I don't see that as a problem. Good shows will find a way to get on the air. Instead of true a la carte I would also be in favor of choosing channels based on programmers or more sub-packages. i.e. If I want one ESPN channel I must buy all of them. If I want HGTV I must buy all the Scripps networks. Even this would make more sense then what exists today. But it doesn't make sense that everyone must pay for ESPN and their exorbitant fees if they have zero interest in sports.

Here is a look at some crowd pleasers.
Events include Apostle Christian Theatre's "Don't Kick the Turkeys" from Nov. 2-17 in Chicago Heights, Polish Film Festival in America screenings at the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago and Southland Area Theatre Ensemble's "[title of show]" on Nov. 3-4 in University Park.
'Don't Kick the Turkeys'
The Apostle Christian Theatre's production of "Don't Kick the Turkeys" will be presented throughout November.
"This family comedy has a little something for everyone," officials said.
It is only the Rev. Thompson's third day as pastor of New Hope Church. His secretary lays down the laws of the office, the janitor is "fixing" everything in sight, the most prestigious member of the congregation is on the warpath, and an eccentric layperson presents some far-out ideas for Sunday morning's special.
The calamity and humor only escalate when a day care moves into the church building after the pipes in their own building burst. Can God work in such a situation?
Featured in the cast are Andrea Fleming, of Steger; Bryce Gardner, of Park Forest; Katie Hale, of Chicago Heights; Patrick McCulley, of Monee; Kristy McCulley-Schnepf and Tommy McCulley Schnepf, of South Chicago Heights; Beverly Petschauer, of Park Forest; Teresa Rogerson, of Richton Park; and Melissa Russo, of Monee.

The production received a Tony Award nomination for best book of a musical in 2009.
Cast members include Steve McQuown as Hunter, Nate Krug as Jeff, Stacy Knefelkamp as Heidi and Anne Lydia Litchfield as Susan. The show is directed by J.R. Rose.
Rose said, " '[title of show]' is fresh, funny, simple, and at times poignant,. It's a musical about the business, and the underdog, our hopes, our friends,and following your dreams."
Tickets are $27 at the box office, centertickets.net or (708) 235-2222. The box office is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays and two hours prior to performances.
SLATE was established in 2009 as an artistic collaboration between the Center for Performing Arts, local theater educators and veterans of area community theater companies.
The troupe has produced four critically acclaimed summer productions directed by J.R. Rose: "Into the Woods" in 2009, "The Wedding Singer" in 2010, "Ragtime" in 2011 and "Legally Blonde: The Musical" in 2012.

25 Most Inspiring Quotes From Graduation Speeches
Graduation is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. As you get ready to embark on an exciting next step, embrace these inspiring words from the best commencement speeches of all time!
By Seventeen Magazine
Mindy Kaling, Harvard Law School in 2014
"I'm supposed to give you advice and I thought, 'what advice could I give you guys?' … So then I was thinking, 'well then, who should be giving advice?' The answer is people like you. You're better educated and you're going to go out there in the world and people are going to listen to what you say... I look at all of you and see America's future… Understand that one day you will have the power to make a difference, so use it well."
J.K. Rowling, Harvard University in 2008
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, Harvard University in 2014
"There is no straight path from your seat today to where you are going. Don't try to draw that line. You will not just get it wrong, you'll miss big opportunities. And I mean big—like the Internet. Careers are not ladders, those days are long gone, but jungle gyms. Don't just move up and down, don't just look up, look backwards, sideways around corners. Your career and your life will have starts and stops and zigs and zags. Don't stress out about the white space—the path you can't draw— because there in lies both the surprises and the opportunities."
Amy Poehler, Harvard University in 2011
Shonda Rhimes, Dartmouth on June 2014
"Dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen, it's hard work that creates change... Ditch the dream and be a doer, not a dreamer….My dreams did not come true. But I worked really hard. And I ended up building an empire out of my imagination. So my dreams? Can suck it."
Michelle Obama, Dillard University in 2014
"You all have opportunities and skills and education that so many folks who came before you never could have dreamed of. So just imagine the kind of impact that you're going to make. Imagine how you can inspire those around you to reach higher and complete their own education."
Steve Jobs, Stanford University in 2005
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.... Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
Bobbi Brown, CEO of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Fashion Institute of Technology in 2014
Work hard but work smart. Always. Every day. Nothing is handed to you and nothing is easy. Youre not owed anything... No job or task is too small or beneath you. If you want to get ahead, volunteer to do the things no one else wants to do, and do it better. Be a sponge. Be open and learn.
Jim Carrey, Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield, Iowa in 2014
"So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality… You can fail at what you don't want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
Barak Obama, Barnard College in 2012
Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane University in 2009
"Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else's path. Unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, then by all means you should follow that… Be true to yourself and everything will be fine."
Hillary Clinton, SUNY Buffalo in 2006
Christian Louboutin, Shoe Designer, Fashion Institute of Technology in 2014
It is a great thing to be at your age You are at a very specific time of age an age where you can follow all your dreams. But also at an age when you can changeyou can change your dreams, you can change paths. When you start something when youre young, you should not decide this is it, this is my way and I will go all the way. You have the age where you can change. You get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. Your age is still an age of exploration.

Sorry, I guess I am one of the gender andromorphs. Real name Matt McCarrell, real gender Male.
Systems Admin and Chemist. My workplace is exactly like the movie Office Space. I feel like Dilbert a lot and when I chose the handle I use I was still a lab rat. Now I moved up to computer geek, so I think that's good. Hence chemist (proffesion) bert (cartoon reference).
Now you know and like G.I. Joe used to say, knowing is half the battle.
Not mutch imagination here, just Ian Steppler, from the great white north, Eh?
Not much of a typer, or speller for that matter. Ian is nice and short...
My real name most of you already know is Gary. My daughter is Michelle Kristen I started calling her MIKI and it stuck, then I incorporated it into many passwords (old and unused now). My wife Sylvis is also a member she is TONI our sons name is Antony.
Procrastination is the assination of inspiration.
I plead guilty also to not being very imaginative. Actually, when I first came on board I just used the first thing I happened to think of, which happened to be my first name. Only nickname I get called much is "Stew" (again, not very imaginative).

Hi all
Well I have 20 acres near Berkey, Ohio, which I call the Berkey Bee Honey Farm. Pretty pretentious name for what is really just a bunch of weeds (pollen plants), pond, house and workship, with 3 TBH and 3 Langs. I got into beekeeping so I would have an excuse not to mow my lawn and let stuff grow. scared up 19 pheasants in a walk this afternoon.
Berkey, Ohio is a pretty interesting place. Our post office is in the feed store where you can also buy a case of motor oil, horse saddle or some rat poison. Post master gets pretty excited when I get a shipment of bees...
Berkey is also the home of the baker of the oldest fruitcake, although it is now a few miles north in Michigan. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/22/offbeat.fruitcake.ap/
Finally, Berkey is the proud home of Roger Durbin, who convinced our Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur to try and build the WWII monument. http://votemarcy.com/wwiiusa.html
In real life I am a trial lawyer, as you can probably guess since I like to talk (write) excessively http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif
Happy Holidays to all! Hope next year is a sweet one for you!
Oh yeah, my real name is David Zoll, and yes, I am a 53 year old man with a wife and 2 married kids!
Live in Georgia. Name's Steve Nofs. It is a very rare name, but there is a good size contingent of Nofs in southern Michigan. If I'd known how great this forum was when I signed up and that I'd still be reading it 8 months later, I would have come up with something clever.
Grew up in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Went to Virginia Tech. That's where I was introduced to beekeeping. It looked like an interesting elective class and it's stuck with me ever since. I still follow my Hokies pretty closely. Hope there's no Auburn fans here. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif Married 15 years to a wife who thinks beekeeping is extremely weird but she's very tolerant. My hives are just outside the back door. Got two kids -- 8 and 5.
I am a civil servant at Robins AFB in Warner Robins, GA. Sidewinder missile engineer to be precise. I agree with Chemistbert. Dilbert is not a comic strip, it's a documentary.
Say BerkeyDavid, do you know any good lawyer jokes to share with the group? http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif
Well, since I DO have a lot to hide, and since people are bound to get tired of my Socrates act pretty quick and try to make me drink hemlock, I'd figured I needed a pseudonym. There is an interesting story behind this name that I can divulge without giving away too much information about my real identity....
You see I grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and now live in nearby-but-mostly-rural college town of Hiram, Ohio. Or maybe I don't. Maybe that is just a red herring so you won't find me out...Anyway, one day when I was out fishing a stream that runs behind the College with a professor friend, a gaggle of hippie students came walking by on the path in the woods. I say walking, but that isn't right at all. They were kind of galumphing along, gently flapping their arms and making these ridiculous undulating movements with their necks and backs. These students filtered by, one by one, each more ridiculous than the last, as we gaped and laughed at their silliness.
In the middle of the pack an older Asian fellow waltzed along, making similar motions--though obviously more practiced--and also a strange cooing sound that I guess identified him as the alpha-bird. Apparently this was a visiting professor teaching his asian culture class about some kind of walking tai-chi dance form--and judging from the students' zeal and attentiveness to the cooing, he was grading on this exercise. That's the kind of multi-cultural silliness that passes for higher education these days, even to some extent at venerable 150 year old institutions like Hiram. At the tail end of this bizarre procession came two guys who my friend recognized as members of the Hiram College football team--the first one looked exactly like the bigger, dumber looking "Darrel" brother from the Bob Newhart show. The second one a few yards behind him looked pretty much like the smaller and not quite as dumb looking "Darrel". Anyway, these two were obviously lagging to reduce the number of female eyes on them, and flapping in a completely demoralized manner.
My friend knew these guys and couldn't resist taunting them in their misery. "Why look here, it's Hiram's own version of the Wright brothers, Darrel and his other brother Darrel. You know boys I think Orville and Wilbur had to flap a lot harder than that..." etc..etc....He was merciless--and the Asian alpha bird swooped back to make sure the boys stayed in character, making it all the sillier and more painful for the jocks.
A big dope trying to fly by flapping his arms is certainly ridiculous, but somehow this distorted version of an earth-bound Icarus struck me as just right. So that became my pseudonym-- Darrel Wright.
Hi all
Nothing too tricky here first and middle initial. mine my wife first son and second son. stuart charles (astbury),sheri ann, stephen daniel and spencer allen used as screen name on all internet sites.
Waya Uwasaalisido <a Tsalagi name. And for those of you west of the Mississippi, yes, I know that Waya translates to Wolf, but as we have no wolves here in Alabama, and as coyotes are "recent" immigrants taking their place, many started using that word to discuss coyotes as well.
Not the trickter "coyote" that Coyote describes. coyotes aren't a historic part of our heritage. However, I was pleased to know that some legends reveal that the Creator put Coyote in charge of the welfare of the planet, an asignment that I take seriously.
I also carry the sir name "Gillespie" but that only explains two branches of my vast family tree. (I was proud to hear that my sister gave my neice Gillespie as a second middle name to insure at least one of her ancestor's lineages is remembered.)
Most friends call me coyote as few speak Tsalagi (including me, unfortunately. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/frown.gif
Hi Guys,
Well that would be a long story with a new chaper almost every year :> )
Have a great holiday.
Can I still participate in this since I am a new registered user??
tnt is the initials I would leave on a video game as a kid after making a high score. Tommy- well, you can call me Tom.
Well, my name is Scott. I used to dislike being called Scotty, but everyone does it so as you can see I've gotten quite used to it.
Weekly progress of my hive(s): http://bees.total-x.org
Well... "Sippy" is an AFFECTIONATE slang of the great state of Mississippi, of which I am proud to be from despite its history and reputation : )) Bee of course is for my hobby-soontobe-business. "We" are Masha and Clark Burrell. I was intro'ed to beekeeping by a commercial Queen breeder who lives just down the road from me, Russell Apiaries in the ABJ. I am a radiochenist at a nearby Nuclear station/ ex-Navy Nuc operator. My wife is a degreed programer from St Petersburg Russia. We both are doing the bees together, she does ALL the grafting for Mr Russell and will do our grafting also. I build all the woodenware and any heavy grunt work, as my wife is only about 5' tall and maybe 95#'s. I have been searching for something "agricultural" to do since I bought this 20 acres we are on 15 years ago. Have sold gourmet coffees, raised a plethera of different animals including Emu's (don't ask, I don't wanna talk about them : )) Bees offer the freedom I have been looking for for 20 years. All the comments about Dilbert is TRUE... it IS a documentary, not just a cartoon, for those that work in todays industrial settings. Bees will make a person a living, is not a fad, will not go away. I am not afraid of sweat or hard work... what I hate most is ASSININE policy and management techniques of todays business world. Therefore I hope bees will be my eventual answer to the need to eat.. : ))
There are many great people here on this
site, and I appreciate all those who posts and share ideas....
Best wishes to all on this forum.
I am relatively new user, and yet to have my first bees, but I also decided to share. My name is Vladimir Marinov, I am from Bulgaria. (No, Vladimir is not only a Russian name, it is Slavonic).
I have been living in Japan for more than 6 years now and my wife is Japanese. Busuke is how she calls me when she is being naughty. Ususlly, my friends call me Vlado. BUT, Japanese cannot:
1) pronounce the sound "v";
2)pronounce the sound "l";
3) pronounce two consonants without a vowel between them.
So, Vlado becomes Burado, or Buu for short, which in turn gets extended to Busuke, which I think is a character from some Japanese anime or something. I have a major lack of interest in Japanese anime, so I never asked for details.
My chess rating was around 1800 when I started playing online. My real name is Dan O'Hanlon, and I grew up watching Hawaii 5-0 with McGarrett saying, at the end, 'Book 'em, Danno' So, danno1800 became my online name.
Now that I have somewhat gracefully reached middle age. I can recall that when my father (who taught me to keep bees) was the age that I am now I thought he was old.(what do kids know) Couple that with a playful twist of being a beekeeper, with bees buzzing about,hence Old Buzzard.
To further date myself along with insight into my humor, I always appreciated the Beat in The Beatles.

After a week of road games
against first-place teams, it's clear that our pitchers can hang with
anybody. Cahill was nothing less than brilliant in Texas
and the past two days in Chicago,
Braden and Gonzalez
reeled off the A's first back-to-back complete games in seven years (Zito and Mulder were the last in 2003). But this week also offered some harsh
realities for the boys in Green & Gold.
When you look at the power and production–and swagger–of the Rangers' and White Sox 3-4-5 hitters, it kind of
clear we can't come close to their firepower.
I mean, Guerrero-Hamilton-Cruz or Rios-Konerko-Quintin, we are not. Don't get me wrong, the scrappiness of our
lineup does have an endearing quality. What's
not to like about a Rajai Davis steal or Kurt Suzuki clutch two-out RBI hit? But to join the big boys, well…you need some big boys. As I mentioned in my last blog, Travis Buck and Conor Jackson
are on the mend and rehabbing for re-entry.
In fact, Buck uncorked a home run yesterday for Sacramento, which was a positive sign. And, of course, fellow RiverCatters Chris Carter and Michael Taylor,
and recently-signed first-round draft pick Michael Choice, are in the pipeline as projected middle-of-the-order
hitters. A's fans, we appreciate your
patience. I know we're trying that
patience in Year 4 of our rebuilding process.
I think we've made important strides in many areas of our game–pitching,
defense and speed, to name three–and hopefully we'll add some fence-clearing
power to the mix soon….
One middle-of-the-order
addition this year who may not get enough kudos is Kevin Kouzmanoff. Yes, I know,
Kouz is a streaky hitter. It seems he's
always in either a 12-for-26 or 0-for-12 run of some sort. But the guy has been solid as a rock; plays
almost every day, makes all the plays at third base at a position that is
extremely hard to fill for many GMs, and he's a team player all the way. Plus, we like saying his name. Koooooouz….
It was great to see Ying and
Yang back in the clubhouse together with the return of Brett Anderson from the
DL. He rejoins Trevor Cahill as the
franchise's two most prized young starting pitchers, really two of the more coveted
neophytes in all of baseball. Anderson got derailed
with his unexpected elbow problems, but he should be fine again once the rust
is shaken. And what about the baby-faced
Cahill? Did you notice this rather
eye-popping stat? Trevor has limited
opposing hitters to a below-the-Mendoza-line .196 batting average this
season. That figure leads all American League pitchers (okay, let's collectively pinch
ourselves…this kid is only 22 years old!).
What's this All-Star going to do for an encore? Too bad he's a ground ball pitcher instead of
a strikeout artist, because I already had a great new name for him: K-Hill….
On a side note, I loved
listening to A's play-by-play voice Ken Korach reminisce about his early broadcasting days in big
league baseball. He joined me and our
beat writers in the press lounge at U. S. Cellular Field yesterday, and told us
how he started out as a part-time announcer for the White Sox. He used to fill in for former White Sox
play-by-play man John Rooney, who also had national
radio obligations on weekends. Korach
would fly in from Las Vegas,
check into a hotel and then make like Adam Rosales
as a utility man in the broadcast booth.
"Man, I was coming from the lowly minor leagues, so even eating this
fabulous brunch in the press lounge was exciting. I knew I was finally in the big leagues"….
Korach, clearly a good story
teller both on and off the air, also shared this one with me while we were both
wilting at a Rangers' games in Arlington
this week. "My former partner, Mr. King,
had it in his contract in the later years that he didn't have to make the A's
trips to Texas
in the summer. He just couldn't stand
the weather." And beyond the oppressive
heat and humidity, the visiting broadcast booths are situated high atop Rangers
Ballpark in a perfect location to catch the constant winds that blow, sometimes
at quite high velocity, over the Texas
plains. Apparently Bill King just loved it when his game notes and stat sheets
used to take flight off the broadcast counter.
First, he would try his best to track the materials down, then after a
second or third attempt one time, it became legend that the Great One once just
picked up the papers, hurled them out the window of the broadcast wind tunnel
and just, mid-game, exited the booth…..
And with that, I choose to
exit this blog, until the next time. Kansas City and Texas
visit the Coliseum this week. Come out
and give our A's some love.

Excellent post. We have so much to look forward too with this team. I hope Brett Anderson and Dallas Braden can stay healthy and make 30 starts next season, I really believe this team could go on an impressive 4-6 year run with the pitching staff currently in place.
I was hoping the A's would have picked up a cheap power bat for the stretch run (i.e. Jose Guillen from KC or Adam Lind from Toronto), but I agree with you Bob, it is hard to look at Texas and Chicago's 3-4-5 and feel the A's are one bat away from duplication. It is a process and fans like me need to be patient!
I loved your Korach comments as well. I have had the MLBTV package this season and find myself choosing to listen to the radio over the live TV simply to listen to Korach. He is that good! I had the honor of doing stats in the booth for Bill and Ken several times when they were down here in Anaheim and the respect and friendship these two had for one another was awesome and inspiring to witnesss. One thing that blew me away about both of them was their constant self-analysis of particular in game calls they would make. They both seemed to be so intent on calling a "perfect game" (no offense Dallas Braden). Professionals to the t. Obviously that is what made them both so good.
This post is great. Will be looking forward with the team.

The presentation of
Contemporary III currently on view shows some 200 works from the Albertinas extensive and constantly growing collections of contemporary
art. This time the show focuses on the artistic juxtaposition of international approaches with Austrian art production, including
most recent positions.
Ever since the establishment of the Albertina in 1776, the interest in contemporary art production has lastingly been echoed
in its new acquisitions. In continuation of this interest of the very first hour, which was already pursued by the collections
founder, Albert of Saxony-Teschen, both the museums collection and exhibition policies have corroborated the Albertinas
affinity for contemporary artwork on paper to this very day. Hence the display of the museums own holdings of contemporary
art - a practice that offers insights into the most recent chapter of art history - is one of the core responsibilities of
the Albertina that is rooted in a long tradition.
Artists in the exhibition:
Adriana Czernin Elke Krystufe |
Florentina Pakosta Georg Baselitz Ina Loitzl |
Maria Lassnig Petra Sterry Robert Hammerstiel |
Sigmar Polke |

Leslie S. Hodgson came to Ogden in 1906 after studying architecture under students of Frank Lloyd Wright. During his 40 year career, he designed more than 75 buildings and schools. Although he designed in Wright's Prairie Style and several period revival styles, Hodgson was best known for his Art Deco public buildings and homes. Many of his buildings such as, Ogden High School, the City and County Building, and the Egyptian Theater still stand today

This would make a fabulous collab kit for Back to School in September! Then a 12 X 12 quick page exchange and you're on your way!
This would be a super collab kit. We would need for this to be for boys as well as girls. I for one would like to start scrapping a set for each grandchild. None of them will be graduating for a while but I am so slow at scrapping I could at least get some pages done to the grade they are in now.
Looking forward to seeing what transpires :)
I just found this thread, and I think a collab kit for K-12 would be awesome!!! Hopefully we can get to work on it!!!
Fantastic idea! I know I would be in for this! I need to get started on one of these scrapbooks for Dacy. She only has one more year!
I've got a back to school one coming out next month...so be sure to watch for it!!! ;)
Any updates on this? I am like a little girl in a candy store.

text: My major is architecture and a lot of the time were placed into groups so the teachers don't have to watch 50 different projects they only have to watch like 20. One project we had we know we were going to be broken up into different groups, before hand everyone was making alliances and me and 2 other guys decided we would work together on a whole semester project. It was our biggest at the time. Me and the one kid were both known for always going over the top and basically having no life. We decided to work together instead of against each other. He pulled in his best friend as like a hard worker to the group. At first we were very civil with each other and worked together. I was happy because they trusted what i had to say for the most part and went with a lot of my ideas. My other friend was a great artist and he always could draw what i was thinking, and we both were good at the computer programs. We did butt heads but it was healthy and everyone in our class through it was going to be a train wreck because both of us our known for strong ideas and our own way. but our group had the best project and its still on display at my school a year later. It was tough but I've had similar project in the past were everyone fights each other and its hell. For the most part girls can seem to talk things out more.

Let's see if we can accentuate the positive.
Let's see if we can accentuate the positive.
Yeah I see what you mean.
Hot pics!
Great pictures. I can't decide which I like the best.
i like the foreskin but only when the dick is hard
hell ya i wanna slide down that. are you Cut?
See now this is a thread I can get behind... These are all FANTASTIC pictures. Each and every one a beautiful piece of art accentuating the male form naturally ...the way a man's penis SHOULD look.
All we want is a headrush, all we want is to get out of our skins for a while.
To actually see a cock head slide in and out foreskin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man. Oh man.
Foreskin is beautiful and attractive. Yes, I agree. Thanks, for the pitures. How about favorite blogs of uncut?
I'm uncut, the bf is cut and when we first met he was very "cut only cut only foreskin ugly" type of person. After three years, he's slowly starting to appreciate my beautiful uncut cock ... or at least he's a good liar.
You have to ask?
You might enjoy this clip.
I've got a lot of uncut pics on my blog, though it's not exclusively dedicated to that. You might also try this Google group or just doing an online search.
Well, I certainly hope he's not lying just to appease you. Prior to getting together with my husband, I was never turned off by uncut penises. On the contrary, I was rather fascinated by them. But I never really had a preference either way. Now, I strongly prefer uncut, and I'm sure that being with him has a lot to do with it. Hopefully your bf is warming up to the delights of foreskin because of your influence on him.
I sure wouldn't mind Santa bringing me this for Christmas.
Here's a pic of my husband's erect penis with his foreskin retracted and his glans fully exposed. Clearly you can see why he gets LOTS of oral sex!
Oh my, they are wonderful haha! I feel too bad that I'm Israeli and mine was mutilated when I was little.
Foreskins Forever Rule!!!!!!!
......they are win,win,win.....they are perpetually wonderful to play with.....if you have the time,......keep the head protected, fresh and eternally youthful,and there is nothing more sexy than an engorged foreskinAlso its how God created you.....endless pleasure.....i could NEVER date a guy who was cut....its a dealbreaker for me!!!!
Great post! Cannot look as these delicious cocks without getting aroused!!
Every pic is work of art. Who can't aappreciate guys who are uncut? Being cut and not by choice I have cum to apprecaite guys with foreskins. There is much more to enjoy with uncut cock. To play and lick around the foreskin. To see the foreskin roll back and expose the the cock head. Most of all finding guys who are uncut know how to DOCK. After seeing all these pics time clean up my load that I lost.
It's okay I guess. I mean, I prefer it to be there rather than not, but I can't say that I find foreskin itself a beautiful holy grail of terrestrial splendor. It's just okay to me. I'm more interested in the man it's attached to, really.
you are at the top of my lungs ♥
Great pics!
My blog is dedicated to foreskin: http://ucguys.blogspot.com/
Well, I don't know that I'd call it the "holy grail" either...maybe the "holy skin" since I do feel somewhat of a religious experience each time I see one.
Seriously though, this is just a celebration of one of the many aspects of the male body that turn me on. Sadly, it's also an aspect that tends to be unfairly criticized and ridiculed, especially in the US. I agree that the man it's attached to is much more important, but that's certainly not going to keep me from enjoying his penis as a part of who he is or appreciating the beauty of a natural penis by itself.
Cool! Make sure you check out my blog too. It's not solely devoted to foreskin, but most of the guys in the pics are uncut:
I never get hard reading these threads but seeing all this tasty lookin 4skin got me rock hard, "Om Nom Nom Nom"
love those balls!

Mike Cameron, I love you
Baseball May 4th, 2009
I've known Mike Cameron since before he was ever a Brewer, before Miller Park existed. Well, not known him known him, but I have been a fan of his work for quite some time. He was the key to the trade that sent Ken Griffey to Cincinatti and I lived in Seattle at that time so we became well acquainted. His defense in Center Field was the best I've ever seen. He struck out a lot, but when he made contact it went a long way and when he got on base he could steal. Basically, if Ichiro never existed he would be my favorite player and right now he is my favorite Brewer. Now? He's the same player with a slight dropoff in defense.
Now I've let my love for Rickie Weeks be known around these parts, but that's mostly because I hate people saying he sucks when he so clearly doesn't. With Mike Cameron I truly like the guy and want him to succeed. I will argue his value to my death. To me he is THE most important guy to this team's success and it might not even have anything to do with how he plays. Take yesterday's game for example. Prince hit a homerun and Mike Cameron gave him a choreographed high-five. Then Mike Cameron hit a homerun and he gave Rickie Weeks a different choreographed high-five. The more I watch the Brewers (and you notice this after wins) I see Mike Cameron do a different high-five for every player on the team. I even saw him give Ken Macha (!) the up-down high-five. Mike Cameron is without a doubt the glue that binds this team together. When CC Sabathia was around he called Mike Cameron a friend. Do you know why? Because Mike Cameron is EVERYONE'S friend. He is probably the coolest guy in all of Major League Baseball and everyone should be glad he is on our team. You know the stories about how the Brewers truly like eachother? That's got Mike Cameron's fingerprints all over it. He's a good guy and he's a winner.
The reason I am bringing this up is not to sing his praises from the mountain tops. It's to prepare you for what might happen. You see Mike Cameron has never hit higher than .273 in a season and he's only hit above .260 in 4 out of his 11 seasons. Right now he's hitting .321 and as much as we'd all like it to be true, 36 is not the season you suddenly learn to hit .300. It's just not. So there is going to be a dropoff and there will probably be a slump at some point. At some point this season you may say to yourself that Mike Cameron sucks and I just want you to know that I will have none of it. Mike Cameron does not suck. He is who he is. He's a plus defender, with above average power and speed. He is good, but he is not this good. He will decline this season and that will be okay because he will still be Mike Cameron and Mike Cameron is still the most valuable guy in the locker room that this team has.
So remember those rules of booing? This is #1 on mine: Never, ever boo Mike Cameron.

Hi everyone. I swear I've been reading but I haven't really felt up to posting. I'm getting really frustrated and depressed over TTC. I just feel like my body is broken and it upsets me that I can't do the thing I was meant to do. It's just...irritating. So, I had AF for TEN DAYS!!! But it was super light. I haven't been doing my temperatures because I just don't care right now. I am waiting for my next cycle so I can start Clomid again. UG....I'm getting really weepy a lot lately and feeling very stressed out. These past couple weeks have really taken me to a place I'm to immature to deal with. I'm actually starting to think like an adult instead of a teenager. I'm 24 and this past week alone I've signed up for retirement, started planning our first family vacation WITHOUT my parents, and applied for a car loan. I know these things sound dumb but I just don't think I want to be a grown up...If you need me, I'll be in my blanket fort...
01-15-2014 05:57 AM - edited 01-15-2014 06:01 AM
I hope so too, thanks Tara ♥ Work is like a petri dish, there are so many germs going around. I started getting a headache last night, and my nose and throat are feeling funny today. Oh gosh, really hoping I don't get something again That's great once you're released to your OB you'll be closer to home
Alexx: Oh sweetie, I and alot of the ladies here know what you're going through with this frustruation. So many screwy cycles. It's best for YOU to take this one "off", not temping or monitoring, just letting it go. How long has it been since you started TTC #2? I'm not sure on your background before and after having Adam. Aaron was a Clomid baby and Lucas is our little miracle from IVF. You are not alone in this Alexx, we are here for you ♥
I have been TTC actively for three years but my husband and I NEVER used birth control after having Adam, so 5+ years? I am just...fed up. I just want to have another child and get on with my life...I'm actually mad when I think about it. Like, why can complete f*$! heads get pregnant without even trying and here I am, married for 7 years, have a full time job, not on welfare....ug. So stupid...the universe is messed up. My sister has two kids, by two different men and doesn't have custody of either of her children. She is in rehab for heroin addiction. Thank god I didn't grow up with her...I'm sorry. Just venting...probably the same things you all have felt before. Watching dumb people have kids they can't support and never really planned or wanted is so infuriating...
01-15-2014 09:04 AM - edited 01-15-2014 09:05 AM
Alexx: Thanks for giving me your background, I might have missed it when I wasn't on the board for awhile after Lucas was born. Were your cycles regular before having Adam? Our bodies can be so uncooperative And, I hear you about others getting PG without even trying or really shouldn't be in the first place. Sending you ((BIG HUGS))
Alexx- Hang in there miss. I've had all those emotions through our TTC journey. Life definately doesn't make sense sometimes and isn't always fair. It's not an easy thing to cope with. I decided to go to a counselor for someone outside my circle to talk to about TTC and the overwhelming feeling I was having at times. I agree, being a grown-up isn't all that fun, but you do what you gotta do, right? I sure hope things turn around for you soon. Is it an option to seek out going to an RE instead of your regular doc? Maybe you need just a little more help than the clomid or some more studies to see if they can figure out a problem.
I don't think my insurance covers it but it's something I've been trying to do for a while. My doctor just won't give me referral until I've been unsuccessful for 3 months on Clomid. I really think I need a new doctor. I haven't had any ultrasounds or anything. Just my history and blood tests. I need something more invasive.

How to use WebMail
Step 1
Enter your email address and password in theWebMail Login form found on the top-left side of the GLUK webite Home Page.
Click Login Button and you will be sent to the webmail control panel.
Step 2
Webmail Control panel
Once you login you will see the webmail control panel (cpanel) which offers various options on how to view and administer your email account.
Viewing emails
The current version of the webmail cpanel gives you the option of viewing emails using one of three email clients.
- Horde
- RoundCude
- SquirrelMail
You can try alll three and selecty one that fits your needs.
To try all three:
- Click on the logo of the mail client you wish to use
- Once you are in the inbox you can freely use the features offered by the email client
- If you are done evaluating, click back to return to the cpanel and try a different email client
- Note: Any changes you make in one email client will be reflected on the others.
Other Cpanel options
- Change Password
- Forwarding
- Auto Responders
- Configuring Mail Client e.g. Outlook
- Box Trapper
- Email Delivery Route
- Email Filtering
1. Change Password
This option allows you to enter a new password for your webmail account. It is imortant to enter a relatively complex password
using letters, numbers, and symbols. This will ensure that you official GLUK email address is secure, and can not be used by malicious parties.
You can use the password generator if you can not come up with a strong enought password of your own.
Make sure that your new password is something you can remember easily, and do not write it down where it can be easily accessed if at all.
Your new password will need your new password the next time you login to webmail.
2. Forwarding
Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all mail from one email address to another. Email forwarding can also redirect email going to one address and send it to several other addresses without the sender knowing. It can also forward email going to several different addresses to a single email address. You can forward emails to any address, not just those under your own domain name e.g. hotmail, yahoo and gmail.
If a mailbox exists for the forwarded address, mail will still be delivered to the mailbox as well as being forwarded. For example: You can have your emails forwarded to hotmail, but a copy will be stored in your GLUk webmail account inbox.
Email can also be forwarded to a special :fail: address - this in effect discards the email, and is useful if you receive lots of spam at a particular address.
Email can also be forwarded (or "piped") to a program or script for processing...
3. Auto Responders
Step 1: To access the auto responders menu, click on the Auto Responders icon on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
Step 2: To add a new auto responder, click on the [Add Auto-responder] button.
Step 3: Enter the email address you wish to send the auto-responses from, the name you wish the message to come from, the subject of the auto-response email, select a character set from the drop-down menu and choose whether the message will be displayed in HTML format. Finally, type in the message in the Body field.
4. Configuring Mail Client
When you access an email account through a desktop email application such as Outlook® Express®, the email application will require specific information about your email account. You can use the auto-configure options below to attempt to automatically configure your email application. If the available options are not compatible with your application, you will need to use the Manual Settings information - Setting can be found in configure mail client link within the cpanel.
Note: IMAP email access coordinates between the server and your mail application. Messages that have been read/deleted/replied to will show up as such, both on the server and in the mail application. POP3 does not coordinate with the server. Messages marked as read/deleted/replied to in the mail application will not show up as such on the server. This means that future mail downloads with POP3 will show all messages as unread.
5. Box Trapper
How does BoxTrapper Work?
When someone sends you an email, BoxTrapper holds off on delivering the email to you until it can determine the email was sent by a real person and not a spammer. It does this by sending an email back to the sender of the email, and asks that they simply respond to the email to verify they are a real person. Most spam is sent by programs and not people, and most of those programs are not developed to reply to such emails. When BoxTrapper receives a response from its test email, it delivers the initial email to your inbox. There are options you can configure to allow email addresses to be whitelisted, meaning that they only need to go through this process with BoxTrapper once.
How do I configure BoxTrapper?
BoxTrapper can be enabled two ways: through the cPanel or through webmail. To enable BoxTrapper for any accounts, simply log into your cPanel and select "BoxTrapper" under the Mail settings. Once in the "BoxTrapper" section hit "enable" and Box Trapper will be active. If you have an email user that wants to use BoxTrapper but does not have access to the cPanel, it can also be enabled at the bottom of the Webmail page.

After his time in the military, he worked in maintenance at Mallory/Duracell Battery in Cleveland, later owning a resale shop also in Cleveland, and lastly working as a welder for Florida Aluminum and Steel in Fort, Myers, Fla.
He loved fishing, gardening and woodworking; making much of his own furniture as well as items for others. He loved the outdoors in general and his dogs. He also loved family gatherings at his home where he enjoyed cooking for everyone.
He will be greatly missed by all of his family. He set great examples of how one should live and carry out their lives, and walked in shoes that none of us could dream to fill. If he was here right now, he would say, "I'm great."
He was preceded in death by his parents, George T. and Rosa Lee Cloer Fisher; paternal grandparents, Leander and Lillian Fisher; maternal grandparents, George and Matilda Cloer; brothers: Charles Fisher, Ralph Fisher and Jerry Fisher; sisters: Helen Fisher and Mary Fisher Lang; and his oldest son, Ricky Lee Fisher.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
just an update on my review I have 1300 miles on these shoes and look and feel as good as the day I got them. If they still had my size I would order another pair you can't go wrong here
Good fit
By Brian Radler
from Spanish Springs NV
This shoe fits well and is not as narrow as most other brands of same size. Very lightweight and the three velcro closures provide a good fit
Really good shoe for the price
By Nono Baddog
from Greenville, SC
I have been wanting to try clipless shoes and pedals for a long time but I really did not want to tie up a lot of money just in case I did not like it. I expected a fair shoe at best for the price, but these really are a bit nicer than I expected, the bottoms are nice and stiff, the shoes averall are very lightweight and have a little vent in the bottom to keep the heat down and breath well overall.
Great Value
By Butling Brit
from Peoples Republic of Cambridge MA
Giro Treble shoes run true to size. I wear a 10.5/44 dress shoe and the size 44 that I ordered were perfect. In terms of width, I'm a D and they were wide enough and very comfortable from the first ride.Set up well with old-style Time Equipe road pedal and cleats.Pretty fancy shoe for the money.

Good shoe, accurate fit
By Draft Hog
from Valparaiso, IN
I am solidly a size 10 in running shoes, and the 43.5 fits great, even with thin socks. I had originally wanted size 43 after reading other reviews, but only 43.5 was in stock. Either size is probably fine for my foot, but no problems with my selection after several 40+ mile rides.
Astounding Steal!
By CharlyD
from Seattle, WA
These shoes are of great quality, very comfortable, give a solid and stiff contact with the pedal, allow an easy fast spin due to their lightness and are offered at an amazingly low price. My normal shoe size is 9 1/2, I ordered a 43 and the fit was perfect.

Wanna try Sidi's at 1/4 the price?
By Joe Dirt
from Clermont,Florida
Unbelievable shoe for the price! Felt,fit, and shaped just like Sidi's but lighter.Bought these as a spare pair for may daily rides and was amazed right out of the box. They do run 1/2 size small and the toe box isn't wide so if you have wide feet , That is the only thing about this shoe. I've owned em all and at this price their just as good as you can get at any price.
Nice surprise, Great fitting shoes
By Wildirishman64
from Central KY Live to ride
i purchased these shoes on clearance end of season. I wear 42.5 and these shoes fit perfectly. They are extremely light compared to my old pair. Feel great and keep my feet dry during long rides. My new shimano clips fit well and offer lot of comfort. The velcro straps make getting in and out with little effort. The low price has made these shoes and Nashbar my favs for all my biking needs!

Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to reach our goal of new sails. Some of you might remember that we raised money on IndieGoGo for our project. We had the chance to send out our polos to those of you who donated at that level and we are working through our giant pile of postcards that we need to get out to the rest of you.
But here is what you might not know… A couple of people continued to give outside of the Indiegogo project and we were able to do even more to make the boat very safe for our crew. Some of this was just some generous donations of some parts and pieces that we needed and some of it was money. The boat is now rigged with some new lines and equipment that will help us out a lot.
Besides the new sails, the big new acquisition was a set of cleats, lines, and pulleys that allow the boat to be single-handed. This means that I can sail the boat all by myself for those weekends when I can't seem to find any crew. I can go out on my own and seed San Francisco and the bay area communities with just myself. It also means that if we have an incident or accident where my one other crew member falls overboard, I can easily rescue them. Don't worry though, we've only rarely come back with less crew than we started with :-) .
So once again, I'd like to thank everyone who helped and contributed to our goals! You are all amazing for helping me make this possible. In fact, you can now check out our donors page to see who has given to our great project.

Courtesy Famgro FarmsSteve Fambro has drawn from his electrical engineering background to take a systems approach to producing leafy greens indoors.Drawing from his background as an electrical engineer, Steve Fambro, founder and chief executive officer of Oceanside, Calif.-based Famgro Farms, has tried to eliminate as much variability in leafy green production as possible.
The result is an indoor technological platform that optimizes crop production by trying to provide all of the plants' needs in terms of lighting, nutrition, humidity, air flow and moisture.
"It uses hydroponics that we have developed and patented and it uses LEDs that we manufacture and patented, but those are just parts of the story," Fambro said. "I don't consider this vertical farming. Our goal is so much more."
Instead, he thinks of it as a systems approach that meshes with his personal philosophy of providing affordable, locally grown produce.
The indoor operation consists of 10 individual farms, each about the size of a parking space that a Toyota Prius would occupy. Together, they produce leafy green yields equivalent to those from 5 to 10 acres of open fields, Fambro said.
The farm grows myriad leafy greens, ranging from its signature sweet kale to microgreens and herbs.
The kale, marketed under Famgro Farms' own label, is touted as having a buttery texture that eats more like lettuce.
"It's not unlike Kobe beef," Fambro said of its tenderness.
Courtesy Famgro FarmsFamgro Farms has found that fuschia-colored lighting contains light wavelengths that optimize kale growth.Although the operation does produce kale microgreens, its forte is full-grown leaves.
"The reason for that is chefs like the savoy, bumpy leaves and they can plate it in different ways," he said.
For each crop, the company has developed a specific production system that caters to that plant's individual needs.
The kale crop, for example, spends just 15 days as seedlings and another 15 days in the farm under intense lighting before harvest.
All of the crops are grown in an enclosed building designed to exclude insects, weeds and diseases. Sanitary procedures along the way help to minimize pathogens.
As a result, Fambro said they don't use any pesticides.
In addition, he uses no animal-based nutrients.
Under the National Organic Program, producers can use 37 different pesticides, bone meal, fish emulsions and manure-based composts while maintaining their organic certification.
Famgro's crops are not certified organic, partly because portions of the program conflict with his philosophy and partly because of food safety concerns.
Take fish emulsions, for example.
"We have no idea if it's old-growth fish that are brimming with mercury," he said. "There are no standards of any kind of how those fish are acquired or rendered into fish emulsions."

Mike HornickMario Steta, right, president of Aneberries A.C., chats with Michael Hollister, center, vice president of sales and marketing for Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc. and SENASICA-SAGARPA general director of plant health Javier Trujillo, left, at the second annual Aneberries international congress Oct. 4 in Guadalajara, Mexico.GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Increased consumption and new markets are top priorities for the expanding Mexican blackberry industry, according to growers and shippers.
About 450 people attended the second international congress of Aneberries A.C., or National Association of Berries Exporters, in Guadalajara Oct. 3-5 — up around 50% from last year.
Many said they worry Mexico is near the point of overproduction on blackberries in spring and winter months.
Alfredo Javier Buenrostro of Agricola Valle Paraiso, a blackberry grower, recalled unhappy memories of one price drop — $4 to $1.60 per pound — in Michoacan.
"We could get to the point where planting and harvesting blackberries is not profitable anymore," he said through a translator.
Managing that crop has been a problem, according to Mario Steta, Aneberries president, also speaking through a translator.
"We haven't found a way to avoid the peaks," he said. "We might see another in November."
"The blackberry supply is very challenged as there are so many different entities involved," he said.
Michael Hollister, vice president of sales and marketing for Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc., Watsonville, Calif., said the number of blackberry varieties in Mexico makes it a challenging segment.
"If you plan to grow, do it with an understanding of what consumption will be and the impact of oversupply," Hollister said. "Aneberries could probably help us organize the supply curve so we could better communicate with one voice."
Mexico had 19,647 hectares (about 48,550 acres) in the four major berries last year. About 57% was in blackberries and 36% in strawberries. Volume on all berries was 386,000 tons; 64% came from Michoacan.
Overall production rose 147% from 2000 to 2011. Volume could easily double again in the next five or six years, Steta said.
Where will it all go?
Domestic consumption is a target, but so are new markets. Steta recently returned from a Hong Kong trade show, and Mexico-China Chamber president Ricardo Antonio Vaca Uribe said it's vital to look beyond the U.S. and Canada.
"What can force us to start putting our eggs in another basket?" Vaca Uribe through a translator. "China has 10% of the world's cultivatable land but has to feed 20% of the world's population."
Mexico's secretary of agriculture, Francisco Mayorga, said it's essential to broaden markets — for all commodities.

Not to be political, but you'd think Fox News would be allllllllll over it.
Exactly, and they aren't. That's what leads me to believe that either there's no "outrage" or "incredible amount of backlash" or this thread is just someone's attempt at humor or someone's attempt to get people riled up.

Who is Dave Kerwin? Miller Park Drunk investigates

Curious story out of Pittsburgh yesterday. When Jason Kendall was interviewed post game he called Pirates pitching coach Joe Kerrigan by a different name.
"It was fine until Dave Kerwin," Kendall said, referring to Kerrigan. Kendall continued to call Kerrigan by that incorrect name -- seemingly on purpose -- even after being promptly corrected.
"I can take a lot, but I'm not going to get yelled at," he continued. "Dave Kerwin started yelling at me...."
When asked what he thought made Kerrigan so mad, Kendall responded: "I don't know. Dave Kerwin? I have no idea."
Now, it's clear to me that he is talking about Joe Kerrigan but in an attempt to undermine him is calling him by a different name. People do this all the time. Sometimes when I am mad at my friend Emily I call her "Smemily". If I am upset with my friend Jeff I call him "Jeffrey". Whenever my ex makes me mad I call her something that rhymes with "pilthy chucking door". This makes sense. What doesn't make sense is the name Jason Kendall chose. Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe youre lucky and get to live in a big, sparkling city like NYCwhere major opportunities are right at your fingertipsbut if youre like me, and you grew up in a small town, it feels crazy to imagine your name in a huge New York Times feature, or your face front and center on the Today show.
But for the Knights of Long Peak High School basketball team, which hails from a few small towns in Utah, their ranking as the No. 1 high school basketball team in the country has put them in the spotlight lately. While theyve made news headlines for many reasonsincluding the fact that Utah isnt exactly known for producing the next Michael Jordanmy favorite thing about their story is the power of teamwork. The team, which currently has a record of 23-1, has a roster full of standout players (6-foot-2 guard Nick Emery scores an average of 19 points per game, and guard T.J. Haws N.B.A.-range 3-pointers have made it big-time on YouTube) but is super close. We have had very few teams that have competed at that level in terms of how they play together, shot selection and chemistry, said Greg Procino, the director of events and awards at the Basketball Hall of Fame.
My only message for the team as they finish up the Utah state playoffs this Saturday: Dont let all this newfound fame go to your head off the courts. Being humble is always crush-worthy!
Now Im throwing it to you! Are you and your teammates kicking butt and taking names this year? What do you do to stay close? Tell me in the comments or tweet me at @devin_tomb!

Owner Stephanie Jordan named the shop after the flower she said has an unusual and prominent bloom.
"I've lived in a lot of major cities and I'm new to Cleveland five years ago," said Jordan, originally from Tulsa, Okla. "I saw that we had a need for a non-traditional flower shop.
"I wanted to create a place where people could come and buy interesting flowers and containers that you might not be able to find in your traditional retail market."
Jordan's concept is to present different ideas for showcasing flowers, whether they are common or lesser-known flowers.
"I wanted to highlight the creativity that exists in the Delta," she said. "There's a lot of people here that are very stylish and expressive, and we want to encourage that individualistic style to come out."
Jordan's sense of expression is evident the moment customers enter the door.
An aroma of fresh stems is immediately apparent and the eyes are drawn to the decorative arrangements highlighted by engaging lighting.
She describes the feel as urban-contemporary.
"I really like the ambiance of the store — the concrete floors, brick walls and exposed ceilings," said Jordan. "We wanted to use the existing architecture to enhance the products we offer."
Her influences for shop design came from the Everyday Gardener in Jackson and the Garden District in Memphis.
Many of the stems available at Allium can not be found elsewhere in town, with species like Pincushion Protea, Spiderman Grevillea and Ranunculus, to name a few.
Flowers can be purchased by the stem or the bunch.
Another focus is providing customers with unique containers to arrange the flowers. Displays in the shop are lined with innovative containers that stretch the limits of traditional vases.
"Sometimes all it takes is a unique container decorated with something unusual and it creates a whole new life for the arrangement."
Jordan said this is a good way to spruce up your dining room, kitchen table or even guest rooms and bathrooms.
"People want to present stuff to others they've never seen before and enhance the artistic nature of their arrangements. A lot of the traditional flowers are beautiful in and of themselves, but they've just been used the same way so repetitively that people are ready for a change."
Aaron Baldwin, Jordan's brother, has been her main helping hand in getting things running.
"Stephanie is extremely talented and creative and it's really fun to watch her work and be a part of this," said Baldwin.
Baldwin's main responsibility is taking care of the flowers and plants so they are thriving under proper conditions.
He will also assist with community classes Allium hopes to provide by November.
The first classes will present ideas for Christmas arrangements and decorations.
"In the springtime I'll also be showing people how to do container gardening — the different methods you can use to garden in containers," said Baldwin.
Business has been bustling thus far, and Jordan will continue to spark floral innovation.
"I think flowers are a source of joy and happiness for people," said Jordan. "They bring color, texture and warmth to the area where they are being placed. We can help you create arrangements wherever you need a little bit of happiness."
Allium is located on 118 East Sunflower Road, Suite B and the shop is open Tuesday – Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
