Suggestion by Satine
what do you want to know?
Suggestion by Fairycakes
I think u need to take a step back from what is going on and take a deep breath.
Its not the right time to change your job or even look for one. Get Xmas and New Year Celebrations out of the way.
Put yourself first and LEARN TO SAY NO! This is to everyone that you feel that puts upon you.
2008 is your year but positive thinking needs to play a big part of your life.
Blessed Be

Greetings, those 2 little ones came from the same fruit of a store bought Red Pear. I researched on possible pollinators what could have brought that red tint to the seedling to no avail. Would anyone please, give me a suggestion? |

I think most Euro pears flower within a week of each other anyway. Winter Nelis is a prolific pollinator but not a heavy cropper. It is a good keeper. john S PDX OR |

CHara I grew some bosc pear from seed, and my seedlings did the same thing: One redish, one green with a slight red tint to the edges of the leaves and the trunk. They do seem to change a bit as they get older. Also, seedling pear apparently can have spines... Lastly - Dont expect to be growing the exact same fruit as where you got the seed. Our fruit have enormous genetic codes, which means the variability of the plants is really a guessing game. The odds are you should get something worth it, even for rootstock, but its very, very rare to get something really worth it from seed, and even rarer to get the parent. |

Hi Friends ~ I've been missing in action here and notice a lot of new faces. I need to visit more often to see what all is happening in your wonderful gardens. I'm always inspired by all the flowers that you grow and I cannot.
One of my favorites grown from seed, is the white dwarf orchid tree. I have two of these growing in huge terra cotta pots. They are two years old and about 3' tall.These have a really delicate sweet scent. Below are two pictures of my shed's crepe myrtle. I love it. We have 5-6 more on the property, but this one is the most in bloom.
This is Duchesse de Brabant with the delicate leaves of Palo Verde in front. This is a wild passion vine that just grows on it's own. Here is a bouquet picked the other day. Don Juan on the left, Duchesse in the back, and Chrysler Imperial on the right. It's been so hot lately that I'm only keeping up with the bare necessities to keep the gardens surviving and the weeds down somewhat. :-) I've been staying indoors embroidering quite a lot. Made some lavender filled sachets recently and they smell wonderful. The piece shown below is done from one of my own photos taken in our secret garden. I love these butterflies. We have lots of them flitting around sipping the nectar from the hamelia paten flowers. Thanks for looking. Have a great week.

Gorgeous flowers, I've never seen an orchid tree either, years ago I had 'Don Juan' it was such a lovely dark red. I have a passion vine but it dies to the ground each year so have never seen it bloom. So nice to see you back, you've been missed. Annette |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Roo!
Facts about Roo
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Roo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
You can visit with Roo at the Petsmart in Lake Forest, CA. Hi, my name is Roo and I'm the cutest little guy! I'm 9 weeks old and of course I LOVE to play, play, play!! I also like to chase toys, jump up to catch the toy at the end of the wand, run up the cat tree and play with other cats. I'm so ready to find my Forever Home ~ could it be with you?
Forever Home Cat Rescue has other adoptable cats/kittens at the Petsmart stores in Lake Forest (El Toro Rd), Foothill Ranch and Rancho Santa Margarita. Stop by and you might find your new best friend. Adoption hours every Sat/Sun, 12-3:00pm.
All other times by appointment ~ call 949-829-0036.
Other Pets at Forever Home Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roo, a Foothill Ranch Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Foothill Ranch, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Foothill Ranch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Foothill Ranch already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Foothill Ranch breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Foothill Ranch paves the way for another one to be saved.

an ex boyfriend of mine cooked amazing food all the time. i would help [chop onions or sip wine while watching him do all the work haha] but it made me realize that i need to start making good meals on my own. even though i make a killer grilled cheese sandwich, i'm pretty sure that's not a romantic meal to make for a future beau.
so besides getting more into cooking, i enjoy writing, reading poetry and wine. and of course dressing up and going out with my girlfriends.
olives, feta, sushi, hummus, salsa, pickles, anything spicy, anything with shrimp.

PHOENIX -- "Star Wars" fans have more than just Episodes 7, 8 and 9 to look forward to.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the annual shareholders meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday that the company is developing "some standalone movies" featuring "Star Wars" characters.
The news is likely to set off a new round of speculation about what's in store for the Lucasfilm franchise. The buzz has been at fever pitch levels since The Walt Disney Co. said in October it was acquiring the studio for $4 billion.
Iger didn't say which characters might be featured in the standalone films. Some "Star Wars" characters such as bounty hunter Boba Fett have been given bigger treatments in comic books.

The colour is lovely no doubt about it. Its a shimmery bronze-taupe on me. I swatched it in my hand and it was a pain to take it off! This thing is really smudge-and-water proof and it doesnt need a primer too. I will next try their matte crem e/s cause i have too much shimmers and i dont think they are flattering for me. (why on earth do i keep buying them???lol) Very good quality overall and you get a decent amount of product too! The packaging seems ok, its a cute little glass jar.

Love this. Love the color -- silvery taupey sheen. Love how it lasts -- I use everything over UDPP but most things still crease. This has the least creasing after the longest time period of anything I've tried. I do NOT love the tiny glass jar because I have to use a brush to get product out - my fingernail will cut into the product.
This is a winner! Available from Mad Minerals and Aromaleigh.

I actually bought this from Aromaleigh- for around $8 on sale. This product is amazing. I actually don't even feel the need to layer it with powder e/s- which I normally do with cream eyeshadow. On me- it's a gorgeous light/medium shimmery gray cool taupe. It last a long time and is easy to apply. I highly recommend this if you love taupe e/s like me!

I picked this up because I saw a picture of the gorgeous creamy taupe on alyheartsyou blog. I picked this color up and Nude Frost. These are the creamiest, silkiest long wearing cream eye shadows you will ever come across. This color is a very pretty soft taupe, excellent as an all over color and I will also use this as a base for powder shadow. When I swatched this and went to remove it I needed to use full on eye makeup remover and had to let it "sit" for a minute to dissolve the shadow and get it to come up. These run $8.99 USD, you get a 3g jar of product which is very generous. Excellent quality for your money and it was very quick shipping. These come in a variety of very pretty colors. Well worth your $$ to check them out! I think I want them all now.

Brian Phipps reacts to news from BusinessWeek that Microsoft (the ones that make the software) is creating design guidelines for PC hardware companies.
1. #@%$#&*$#%Sure, an integrated design/experience between hardware and software is the wet-dream of every interaction designer (and lapsed interaction designer) but as Brian points out, the industry has evolved to a point where that's problematic to implement.
2. These guidelines imply that Microsoft owns the customer, and that PC makers are simply . . . delivery agents!
3. #@%$#&*$%#
4. We make the box, and they provide the software, but somehow we're the ingredient brand!!
5. If we follow these guidelines, we will create look-alike PC products
6. Look-alike products will erode what little differentiation we have left

Sarah Hyland was spotted at the 'Call Me Crazy' Premiere in Hollywood. The 22-year-old 'Modern Family' actress was also in the news recently, as she got her very own beauty campaign promoting Heart Calgon's affordable and sweet-smelling shimmery mists, lotions, and body wash.
The young actress stepped out for the premiere of Call Me Crazy: A Five Film premiere in LA on April 16. She showed off her beauty on the red carpet in a black strapless gown paired with a black clutch in her hand. She kept the look simple and chic and didn't pile on the accessories, which allowed the focus to fall on her ample assets that were highlighted by the sweetheart neckline.

Petition To Get Back The Face Of The Razor (Cutter
This petition is specifically put together for the people who listen to WZOR (RAZOR 94.7) to the General Manager and CEO of Woodward Communications . On March, 10th 2009, Andrew Puyleart (Cutter) was released from his position due to an unfortunate business decision. Cutter has been a part of our lives on RAZOR 94.7 for seven years. He has brought many great and events and immense support to our communities. For instance: The Local Edge , participating in an extreme number of events (work related and not), being a part of the listeners through concert events, and supporting us personally by being a great activist, friend, and great face in our communities. Not only do we feel with Cutter gone that this is effecting the listeners, but will have far more impact on your radio station. We feel that the business decision that was made, was made poorly and not made in any kind of good judgment. By signing this petition, we demand that Cutter be given his position back, so we the listeners will have our Morning Show Host and the only thing on RAZOR 94.7 that has EVER made a difference or mattered. Without Cutter there is not a reason to have the radio station. Without him, RAZOR 94.7 doesn't stand a chance against it's competitors. Without the Man of the RAZOR 94.7 we will lose what is a one of a kind and great radio station.

Joe Terrien, United States
6 years ago Comments: I do not know the circumstances of the situation, but I strongly believe your station will soon lose the majority of its listener base without Cutter. Cutter is by far the best radio personality in the midwest, and has a very faithful following. It would be in your best interest to reverse your poor decision before a competitor snaps him up.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Our neighbor gave us his old plastic lawn furniture last summer when he bought a new (nicer) set. We were planning on painting sometime this summer. My parents decided last week that they are coming to visit this weekend so we ran out and got the paint. Still need to do a few more chairs and the table, which will be red. DH also finished the garden wall which you can kinda see in the background! |

Next Class Friday May 9th, 9 am – 5 pm
Interested? e-mail email@example.com
We did it! Finally, after two years of talk, talk, and more talk… we did it. Up before the sun, we met on the mean streets and rented a van. We drove that van through the lightening gloam, racing the sun across the garden state of New Jersey. The sun got there first, but mere moments later the doors opened up and we piled out into a land where pistols roam free, and Americans own them. Or something like that… We didn't all ride in the van of course. About half the team made their own way from all over the northeast, and thanks to Razorback Tactical Solutions and Instructors Alexander Platz and George Emanuel, we shot all day long. We had absolute beginners, and experienced shooters coming in for a tune-up. Tell me that ain't cool! You can't tell me that ain't cool, because it was very cool! Don't believe me? Check out some action shots!
Is Tarantino still making movies? Cuz, we like, got a guy…

Two men in a boat and one on the beach!
One of the men who watched me intently every time he was at the beach on Fire Island was so reserved it was months before he even openly displayed an erection for me. No doubt he became erect but he would roll onto his stomach until it faded. Eventually though he moved closer to us when we were not with friends, and would slowly masturbate for me.
When we got to know him it turned out that he (Mark) had a boat which was how he travelled to the beach most weekends. I love boats and had wanted to get one, but hubby wasnt interested. However when Mark offered to collect us from our village dock anytime and bring us to the beach we agreed. A few weeks later the day arrived and I was sitting on our dock with cooler boxes etc when he arrived. My husband had taken his truck home and was yet to return. The boat was a lovely surprise. It was about 40 long with a nice sized cabin and open seating at the back for about 8 people. I was wearing a short dress and wasnt worried about underwear as we were heading to a nude beach. Sitting on the boat waiting for my husband I knew that Mark was already enjoying the view and enjoyed the tease, watching him grow in his shorts. We were soon underway and moored the boat beyond the dock at Kismet, where there are a couple of bars. From there it was just a 15 minute walk to the nude section of the beach. We had a lovely day at the beach and a few cocktails at the bars in the evening. It was a very warm night and Sunday was forecast hot so we were talking about returning the next day, when Mark said Why go home? Stay on the boat. It hadnt been planned and we had no change of clothes, toiletries etc, but the local store solved the latter, and none of us cared about the former. When we eventually retired for the night Mark quickly converted the cabin into a snug sleeping area, and it was obvious that we would be sharing a decent sized bed. We had a final nightcap on the deck, and I headed to use the tiny bathroom first, before climbing into bed. Both men joined me at the same time, and my husband immediately began to kiss and touch me, soon opening my thighs and caressing my pussy. Mark, with his usual reserve, lay next to us watching us for several minutes as my husband made me more and more aroused. Eventually I reached for Marks body and found a lovely cock to play with. He wasnt huge, maybe 5 but had a nice shape, and was as hard as rock. As my husband moved between my thighs and began to tease me with his tongue, I told Mark to move up so I could take him in my mouth. He was a comfortable fit and I loved feeling him thrust gently thru my lips. When I cupped his sac in one hand he was already tight, so I told him not to come just yet, as I wanted him inside me first. Hearing this, my husband moved up to my head with his delightful cock bobbing in front of him. I gently pushed Mark in the direction of my open thighs and moments later he was guiding his slick head between my labia, and pushing firmly against my opening. When he sunk into me he moaned with pleasure and held still for a full minute trying to hold off his ejaculation. Thankfully, he succeeded, and was able to make love to me delightfully as I sucked my husband. Mark, of course, soon needed to come and I encouraged him to push deep inside me and let me come with him. He immediately thrust hard against me and promptly came deep inside me, bringing me to orgasm. As soon as Mark moved off my body my husband took his place and quickly ejaculated a stream of semen into me. In the early hours I woke to find I was sweating from the heat in the cabin. The door was open so I slipped out of bed and grabbed a bottle of water to take onto the deck. We were moored about 30 passed the ferry dock, close to a small beach. It was a lovely night and I enjoyed the soft breeze on my bare skin as I stood in the rear of the boat. I had cooled down but was reluctant to return to the heat of the cabin and was looking around the bay when I saw a guy standing on the dock. He was in the shadow of the ferry ticket office so I hadnt noticed him previously but I figured he had been watching me all along. I felt a little buzz in my pussy at this thought so turned to face him, and waved. He stepped from the shadow and walked along the dock as close as he could get to me, and waved back. He was a young surfer type guy, long wavy hair, great physique, and wearing baggies and a T. We could hardly converse at this distance at this time of night, but I was feeling playful so mimed that he should take off his shirt. When he did, I was delighted with his torso so blew him a kiss, and pointed at his shorts indicating he should drop them. He had a sense of humor and turned his back on me and slowly pushed them over his hips and exposed a tight butt. When his shorts hit the ground he turned to me exposing a lovely semi erect penis. He really was a good looking young man. As his erection grew he looked around to make sure we were not being watched, and began to masturbate. It was highly erotic to stand naked in the open gently touching my pussy and watching him pleasure himself. After only two or three minute he ceased stroking himself and I assume ejaculated into the bay, although in the moonlight I couldnt see his semen spurting from him. When he had recovered he dressed and I again blew him a kiss, as we waved goodbye. Sunday was a perfect beach day, and the night was enjoyable if not exciting sexual fun. The chemistry between my husband and Mark wasnt working, so what could have been a great time was OK but lacked that special eroticism. My husband took me slowly from behind which I love, and when he came I still needed release, so straddled Mark and impaled myself on him. I always come quickly in this position, and when I reached climax Mark followed me unloading what seemed a considerable amount deep inside me. The French have a name for the sleep after sex; it is Petit Mort (Little Death). Both men were soon enjoying their Petit Mort, while I lay awake feeling a little edgy. When I recalled my early hours encounter with my surfer boy I had the urge to see if he had returned for another show. This time I grabbed a glass of wine just in case I was to be disappointed when I reached the deck. But there he was, sitting on the dock watching our boat. I waved to him, hoisted my glass, and lifted my arms and turned in a slow pirouette to show off my nudity, then pointed to him. He knew the score, and promptly stripped off for me. This time he was already erect and a delightful sight!! He pointed to the beach where we were anchored and mimed that he was going to walk there. He picked up his clothes and walked naked and erect along the dock to the beach, and then along the beach to our boat. This was both fun and risky, as there were several occupied houses on this stretch of beach. The nudity would maybe be OK; the erection would get him arrested. I walked to the pointed end of the boat and stood looking down at him. The beach was only about 8 from me, and the water waist deep at the anchor point. Surfer boy dropped his clothes and waded out to reach me. He was even better looking close up with designer stubble covering his jaw line, and looking up at me he would have had a perfect view of my swollen lips. When he indicated to his shoulders it was obvious he wanted me to sit on his shoulders and be carried to the beach. The prospect was fun and exciting to say the least. He was delightful to look at, and I enjoy sex in risky situations. There were a couple of towels on the deck drying off, so I grabbed them and sitting on the edge of the deck I slid onto his shoulders. I couldnt stop giggling at what we were doing but with my already swollen pussy pressed against the back of his neck I was getting seriously aroused. As soon as we were on the beach we began kissing deeply and exploring each others body. This guy must have had zero body fat, but he certainly loved fondling my female curves, which are definitely not zero body fat!! I soon really needed to enjoy him fully, so eased from him and sat on the towels. When I lay back he knelt between my thighs and moved towards my opening. He told me that he didnt have a condom so I just took him in my right hand and guided him to my wet lips. As he eased into me I pushed firmly against him, feeling every inch of his shaft penetrate me. I wanted him to have me in every sense so told him to be quick. He sensed the need and proceeded to take me hard and fast in the classic missionary position. It was brief and intense before he whispered that he was about to come, and promptly did. Young men certainly enjoy the advantage of producing more semen than older lovers, and this was pretty exceptional, in that respect. He must have ejaculated at least six times before he wilted and slipped from me. Normally its the male who screws and runs but as soon as he recovered I told him I had to get back to the boat as the sun was starting to lighten the sky over the ocean. I stood in front of him and offered my hand to pull him up. He took his chance, sat up and told me he wanted to taste me. When I didnt resist he kissed my now sensitive and very swollen pussy, pushing his tongue between lips. I was actually too sensitive to orgasm again, so eased his mouth away, and helped him to his feet. As soon as he stood he put his arms around my neck and asked if I would take him in my mouth before we parted. He was already gently pressing down on my shoulders so I allowed him to guide me to me knees. He was semi erect when I pushed back his foreskin and took his lovely knob in my mouth. He groaned in pleasure and was rock hard again in a New York minute. It was probably only 3 or 4 minutes since he had come so hard inside me, but, wonders of youth, he was ready again. I asked him if he could come again already, and he just grunted confirmation. It was totally erotic kneeling in front of this young man pleasuring his lovely erection. He took at least 5 minutes before I could feel his body tense and he moaned with pleasure as the remainder of his semen filled my mouth. When I left him to return to the boat he stood on the beach and watched me. I waded as far the as the anchor point and threw he towels onto the deck. I had to swim to the stern to climb back on board, which was a lovely way to finish a sexual night. The water of the bay was warm and completely flat so I swam out a couple hundred yards before returning to the boat. It was lucky that I did because as I climbed up the ladder to the stern deck my husband came out of the cabin to find me naked and dripping. He asked the obvious question so I lied, and told him I had woken up hot and decided to skinny dip before we left for home. For a moment I thought that catching me like this had aroused him for a morning quickie but when I looked towards the dock I saw my young lover standing there watching me. It was the excuse I needed to save my very tender pussy, so I pretended embarrassment and told my husband that someone was on the dock, and ducked into the cabin pretending modesty!! By 11:00 I was sitting in my office in Manhattan squirming in a pair of skin tight jeans as I recalled my early morning encounter with my young surfer boy! Alex x |

I really love this story Alex! The boat & the beach certainly add to the aura. You have so many great adventures and travel so much that I have begun to fantasize every time I see a hot MILF that it could be you. The "surfer"type guy you described, well, I could fit that description Alex. I have surfed a few times, and I'd go surfing again if it could mean running into you. HA So I just imagined that being me in his place and having that rendezvous you on the beach. Another great story that you should put into a long sex novel of your life!!!

In "Circle of Trees," a Tapestry of Faith program
Cut down the forest of desire, not the forest of trees. — The Buddha, Dhammapada 283
Workshops 6 and 7 are ideally done as one longer workshop of at least two hours. The workshops comprise an adaptation of the ritual "A Council of All Beings," presented by Joanna Macy, John Seed, Pat Fleming, and Arne Naess in the 1988 book Thinking Like a Mountain: Toward a Council for All Beings. If possible, identify an outdoor setting for these activities, while being mindful to select a location that will be accessible and welcoming to participants with all mobility, hearing, or other sensory issues.
This work is guided by the philosophy of "deep ecology", a term coined by Naess in 1972. In an interview posted on the Context Institute website, Michael Zimmerman explains "deep ecology":
Deep ecology portrays itself as "deep" because it asks deeper questions about the place of human life, who we are. Deep ecology is founded on two basic principles: one is a scientific insight into the interrelatedness of all systems of life on Earth, together with the idea that anthropocentrism—human-centeredness—is a misguided way of seeing things. The second component of deep ecology is what Arnie Naess calls the need for human self-realization. Instead of identifying with our egos or our immediate families, we would learn to identify with trees and animals and plants, indeed the whole ecosphere. This would involve a pretty radical change of consciousness, but it would make our behavior more consistent with what science tells us is necessary for the well-being of life on Earth. We just wouldn't do certain things that damage the planet, just as you wouldn't cut off your own finger.

Man sneaks into park with firearm and leaves said firearm...Disney employee sets of dry ice bomb...Now I'm even more offended that an overzealous member of the WDW security force stopped me at the MK gate for carrying my pocket knife.

Apparently those other two goofs didn't get the same lecture.

Bible Verses About Covetousness
Bible verses related to Covetousness from the King James Version (KJV) by Relevance
Colossians 3:5 - Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Hebrews 13:5 - [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Ephesians 5:5 - For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Luke 12:15-21 - And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Read More...)
1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

A Cobb Salad. Strawberries and champagne. A boneless, skinless chicken breast.
Sound like the room service menu at a mediocre hotel?
At Scratch Bar, such dishes aren't what they seem. In fact, they're magical.
Let's back up for a second and observe the wizards behind the (kitchen) curtain: Phillip Lee, Joel Miller, and Ryan Duval come from the likes of Providence, Animal, and New York's wd-50. Behind the stick? David Fernie from Pour Vous.
Come on in and bring the kind of crew that knows sweetbreads aren't sweet or breaded and get ready to try lots of small plates (some so small, they're in a section called bites, read: literally bite-sized.)
For starters, fire an order of those just-mentioned thymus glands — with hamachi. Pair it with the Hero Heat-o, which tastes like a sake daiquiri.
Then things go all Eyes Wide Shut on you. That Strawberries and Champagne is actually a salad with mache, figs, goat cheese and pickled cucumbers (your server will drizzle it with a strawberry and champagne gazpacho).
That Cobb Salad? It's lettuce-less, instead piled with rows of caviar, rice, avocado mousse, sea urchin, and pork belly. And that chicken breast? It's served with four-hour blistered tomatoes and cayenne.
Can you even imagine if these guys used that in a BLT?
Price: 3 (out of 4)
Noise: 2 (out of 4)
Parking: Shares valet with Matsuhisa

Dec 13, 2012 5:26 PM by The Associated Press
BRUSSELS (AP) - The European Union's competition watchdog has accepted proposals by four publishers and Apple to end agreements that set retail prices for e-books - a practice the EU feared violated competition rules.
The decision reached Thursday is legally binding on Hachette Livre; Harper Collins; Simon & Schuster; and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, which owns Macmillan. The deal is also binding on Penguin.
The EU was concerned that Apple's agreements with the publishers, which let the publishers set the price at which online bookshops sold e-books to consumers, unfairly raised the price of the content.
The publishers and Apple must end all of the contracts in question and hold off on entering into new ones.
The U.S. is also investigating the practice and has reached a settlement with some of the publishers.

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo was caught with his pants down, well not literally, but was caught red-handed when he bedded a couple of prostitutes after his team won the FA Cup on Sunday. After the game, he headed on over to Rome's red light district and him and a friend picked up the hookers, before going to his hotel room.
"They paid for sex with the girls then swapped over so they could bed both of them."
A source close to the hotel said that the guys had the prostitutes up there for an estimated two hours. He also went on to say that Cristiano had a big smile on his face the next day.
All I have to say is ewwww.

If I Never Heard Them Again...I'd Be Delighted
I've never been a big fan of secular Christmas music. Each year in late November, I cringe when in every store, you hear nothing but cheesy Christmas song after cheesy Christmas song. What's worse, beginning in late November, a few of our local radio stations start playing nothing but these songs...and, of course, my daughters all insist upon listening to nothing else!
In the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge, I thought I would make my own personal list of "Christmas" (some barely deserve the title) songs that I really cannot stand. Just to be extra cantankerous, I am going to only include songs that are loved by millions. I'll exclude songs that practically no one likes, such as "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" or the wretched "Last Christmas" by Wham (sound of retching). In order to make this list, a song had to have been heard by me at least 100 times over the past 7 years (even though I avoid them!)
So, here it goes: The ten beloved Christmas/Holiday songs that I hate the most, in order from those I hate the least to those I hate the most:
10. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree (Goofy)
9. Jingle Bells (No one over about 12 should like this song!)
8. I'll Be Home For Christmas (Way too sappy)
7. White Christmas (I know; you all love it. No offense to you or to Bing!)
6. Sleigh Ride (I had to play this in band all the time and pretty much couldn't stand it by my senior year in HS)
5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Sappy, and I hate the line about "the Fates" -- there is no such thing as "the Fates!")
4. Let it Snow (pointless)
3. Santa Baby (even more pointless)
2. Winter Wonderland (all-time dumbest lyrics, IMHO)
AND NOW....my all time LEAST FAVORITE (popular) Christmas song...drum roll, please.....
1. The Christmas Song (I know, I know, this will be heresy to many of you. Forgive me! I've just heard it about 1000 times too many, and the sappy, syrupy lyrics give me indigestion. Why does every recording artist on the planet feel compelled to record this song?)
Thank you for indulging me. I wish you all a blessed celebration of the Nativity of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh (that's Christmas for all you Aggies out there!)
By the way, what would you add to the list? I solicit your thoughts.

"Silent night". Who ever heard of more put you to sleep song than this? And whoever heard of a Holy night in Houston?
I like Greensleeves the instrumental only.
Though it is not a "Christmas" song, I do like 'Hazy Shade of Winter'.I can't remember the group though. They also sang 'Baracuda'. - December 23, 2008 at 3:18 PM
- Rachael said...
I have to say "A Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney is my least favorite Christmas song ever.
And you're right for excluding "Last Christmas". Who DOES like that song? Somebody must, because I hear it about fifty times per season.
"Sleigh Ride" gets stuck in my head like mad. I would also be delighted never to hear that one again. - December 23, 2008 at 3:46 PM
- Clint said...
I don't know "Hazy Side of Winter" but I think the group Heart sang "Barracuda."
I have to admit that I also don't much care for Christmas music. However, I was once wowed by an acapella (opera, no less) version of "O Holy Night."
Thats about it... - December 23, 2008 at 4:52 PM
- Fr. James Early said...
I just looked it up, and "Hazy Shade of Winter" was first recorded by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966. A cover version was released by the Bangles in 1987. That's probably the version Paul is thinking of. Heart was indeed the artist(s) who recorded "Barracuda" (a great song!)
Paul, "Silent Night" is indeed a little on the lame side, but at least it talks about the real Reason for the season. Interestingly enough, I was able to visit the home of the song's composer, Joseph Mohr, near Salzburg, Austria, in 2000.
Rachael, it's funny you mentioned "Wonderful Christmastime," because it came out as the all-time worst Christmas song ever in a recent list that Fr. Huneycutt recently discussed in his podcast. It is truly lamentable, but no worse than "Last Christmas!"
Clint, the most beautiful version ever of "O Holy Night" (IMHO) is the one by Josh Groban. And his "Ave Maria" sends chills down my spine. If you haven't heard it, go to my Facebook page. I posted the video there.
May you all have a blessed Christmas. I think I'll see all three of you before the 25th. :-) - December 23, 2008 at 9:13 PM
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"...I can't stand it!
Our choir sings "Silent Night" in English and then in Slavonic at the end of Liturgy on Christmas as everyone goes up to venerate the cross. That's my favorite version.
And even though I only know maybe ten words in Spanish and the song says the same thing over and over, I love "Feliz Navidad". It's just so cheery!
Have a blessed Nativity feast everyone! - December 24, 2008 at 11:00 AM

1) I can't believe you missed Elvis's "Blue Christmas". I mean it is so buh-buh-buh-buh bad to the bone... it's well... kind of grows on you. There's a point where cheesy crosses over into "classic"... and this is it.
2) Anything by the Chipmunks.
3) Santa Got Run Over by a Reindeer... and all similarly just plain out b-a-a-a-d gimmick songs.
4) Rock-n-roll versions of most of 'em...'cept I kinda like "Rock'n Round the Christmas Tree"... 'cuz in my version (not available in stores - and for good reason) my better than the original lyrics... I mean lyrics... who can ever get'em right? .. I have a verse about Jingle Bell Jane.. whoever she was. I think she "summers" with Tarzan?
5) Anything done by Muzak
Actually... in real life... one of my favorites is a French carol.. Le Divine Enfant... or something like that (did I say I had a lyric memory problem?).. done by a cathedral choir. All in French.. you don't know what they're saying.. but it sounds beautiful.
And some of the Ukranian carols are great, too - especially by Kitka. - December 24, 2008 at 5:21 PM
- James the Thickheaded said...
Ah... I can't believe you're nailing some of these.
Okay least favs:
1) Gimmick sons: "Santa Got Run Over by a Reindeer"... and its ilk. There should be a special penitentiary INSIDE Gitmo for the folks who record and/or play these things
2) Most carols recorded by aging British Rockers that look like Rod Stewart in full leisure suit mode and goo-ed up hair and sound like they've got a sore throat (this includes The Boss even if he comes from Jersey)
3) Any Perry Como, Ray Connif singers... or other cheesy over-produced 1960's stuff
4) Anything by Muzak
I'm a sucker for "Silver Bells" with B-B-B-Bing Crosby. And I also love Elvis's "Blue Christmas".... so buh-bad to the bone it's... well.. kind of grows on you.
Mostly, I like the French Carol "Le Divan Enfant" or something like that... done by a Cathedral choir; Ukranian carols by Kitka, and so on.
But heck... even the bad ones beat much of what's out there today. - December 24, 2008 at 5:30 PM
- John said...
I'm with you all the way on your list EXCEPT "Santa Baby"--but only, only if sung by the late, great Eartha Kitt.

has anyone grown a yellow flowered perennial salvia? if so, which species did you grow? where did you buy the plant/seed? how would you rate the plant? Also, has anyone ever grown an orange flowered perennial salvia? Are there any? |

- Posted by Helena_z8_MS (My Page) on Thu, Nov 11, 04 at 15:10
Well, I'm growing salvia madrensis-flowers in late fall. Might grow to zone 7. I'm also growing salvia koyamae but only had it for short time. May be grown in zone 5 according to a list for salvias in Central North Carolina. Salvia x jamensis 'La Luna' also yellow. I had this one long time ago. I think there are at least two orange salvias. A World of Salvias is a good source to get these salvias. |

There are a number of yellow flowered salvias. There also are orange or oeange/red salvias. Check out my photo site for them. SG |
Here is a link that might be useful: Salvia Photos

Besides madrensis, there are the European sages S. glutinosa, S. nubicola, S. koyamae, S. nipponica (including var. Fuji Snow), and the hard to grow but stunning S. flava v. megalantha. The others are hardy into zone 5. Hopefully, someone will bring into the USA the hybrid S. glutinosa x flava v. megalantha `Amber' It is showy and durable. |

S. koymae is a beautiful, tough-as-nails primrose yellow salvia which is fully hardy into zone 5, maybe even zone 4. It blooms in Septmber and October and grows/blooms well in moderate full shade. Wonderful underutilized hardy shade groundcover. |
I seen some new ones in plants delights. I liked California sunset(hybrid)peachy dark sage dancer/dark reddish color hot lips(microphyllia)red/white....neato Does anyone grow the forsythia sage?they said 7 ft.are they for real? |

They are right, the forsythia can grow that tall. Mine kind of leans on the ground. I liked the California sunset too which I ordered from them , I think it's the same as Cabrillo College lists it as Salvia'Cabrillo Sunrise'. |
My salvia Madrensis was about 24" tall when I bought it in a gallon container last spring. By October it was over 8 ft with beautiful, long, yellow blooms. If I haven't already lost it, I'll be moving it over to give it more room. I'm not sure yet if it overwintered. I will definitely replace it if it didn't. |

Before Indiana Jones was decided on for the stunt show what character and films was condidered to be used for the show.

That is correct. Until I just read this I never knew. James Bond would have been cool too.
Gee, that was purely a good guess.....
What is the first full Mickey Mouse you encounter as you enter Disney MGM Studios and what is it's hidden fuction?
Mickey atop the spinning world thingy and he doubles as a lightning rod?
That's a good one, Loric!Quote:

The first one I was thinking was just outside the gate (the topiary). I was thinking to hard.

Loric or James...
You're up!
Pssstttt.... yes Jason, you are thinking too hard! http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/for...ilies/wink.gif
Here's a fun one - seeing as how i'm not the biggest MGM fan...
What 3 attractions at Disney MGM studios have I (Loric) never experienced?
PS: They are current attractions.
well lets start the guessing... ToT, RnR, Star Tours
I like Star Tours :)
I've not been on Tot or RnRc though - so you have one more to go.
