As a parent, you know that the decision to straighten your teen's teeth can affect his or her life significantly.
With school, sports, their first job and even prom, traditional braces may not be the ideal choice. And they
don't have to be. Invisalign® can give your teen the self-confidence of a great smile without the restrictions
of traditional metal braces. Its clear, smooth aligners won't hold your teen back from accomplishing
the things they want in life.
If you'd like a quick way to learn more about Invisalign Teen®, try these helpful tools:
We understand that every teen is unique when it comes to his or her orthodontic condition.
That's why Invisalign Teen has been designed specifically to work across the most common
teeth-straightening issues teens can face from mild to severe cases. Each aligner is custom-made
specifically for your teen's teeth using the latest, high-tech plastics. Chances are, it will work for your teen. See all of our
Treatable Cases.
Invisalign Teen actually costs about the same as traditional braces. We suggest checking your dental insurance plan—orthodontic treatment with Invisalign Teen is covered by many major dental insurance policies. And many orthodontists offer finance plans as well, avoiding the need for any lump-sum payment. Of course, as a parent, the real question is whether you can really put a price on being able to see your teen live without the restrictions and disruption of metal wires and brackets. Learn more about Cost.
Since the Invisalign aligners are removable, a common concern for parents is "How will I know
if my teen is actually wearing their aligners as often as they should?" Rest assured, your certified
orthodontist can easily verify this because Invisalign Teen has blue indicators on each aligner that
fade over time when worn as directed. We also know that accidents can happen, so you can get up to 6 replacement aligners free should your teen lose one, or six for that matter.
Before you choose Invisalign Teen, we'd like to make sure you've taken the time to learn everything you
need to make a confident choice. Here are some additional tools you may find helpful:

"It's not just your value-added fresh-cut," he said. "It's also whole fruits and vegetables that are put in a clamshell."
Shippers are packing avocados, beefsteak tomatoes, kiwifruit, brussells sprouts and other items in clamshells for food safety and ease of handling for consumers and ease of merchandising for retailers, he said.
The company makes about 30 kinds of clamshells, ranging from 4-ounce packages for blueberries to 4-pound units for grapes and strawberries.
More prepared products, controlled portions and portability are trends that Kari Dawson-Ekeland, marketing director for center of the store, adjacent markets, food care division, at Seald Air Corp., Elmwood Park, N.J., has noticed.
Packaging that caters to those trends helps get produce into more eating occasions, allows easy cleanup and adds consumer convenience and product safety, she said.
"The packaging actually serves as the serving dish as well as for protection of the product when it's in transport," she said.
Increasingly, portion packs of items such as sliced apples or baby carrots enable consumers to buy multiple single-serving packages at one time.
"You can put one in a gym bag or lunch box or take to work without having to rework the package to make it suitable for eating on the go," she said.
Manufacturers also are adding more flavors — taking, for example, a product that might be fairly neutral and including seasoning and flavor packets "to make it more of a savory event or a sweet event."
Reusable plastic containers continue their steady growth, said Fred Heptinstall, president and general manager of Tampa, Fla.-based IFCO USA.
Up to 15% of total retail produce cases now are shipped in RPCs, depending on the season, according IFCO.
About 12,000 stores now use RPCs, including most of the major supermarket chains, Heptinstall said.

Search our investment portfolio
In January 2004, Advent International acquired 100% of the shares of OCA, the largest private courier and postal services company in Argentina.
OCA is involved in three businesses: transport and delivery of checks for the banking industry, transport and distribution of commercial documents, and postal services for both the retail and corporate markets.
Headquartered in Buenos Aires, the company has 6,000 employees and 700 delivery vans, serving over 8,000 corporate customers nationwide. OCA is the market leader in the corporate sector, providing value-added services to all major financial institutions in Argentina.
At the time of our investment, OCA was operating under creditor reorganization proceedings (similar to Chapter 11) after the prolonged recession in Argentina caused the company to default on certain loan payments in 2001. However its compelling business model and leading market position made it an attractive investment. Since the buyout, Advent has worked with new management on a financial and operational restructuring of the company, as well as the redesign and implementation of a new IT platform. These improvements, combined with the company's emergence from Chapter 11, have positioned OCA for its next phase of growth.
Looking forward, OCA will seek to accelerate growth by expanding into other value-added services, drawing on Advent's global expertise in the business services sector.

Top 10 Rappers Who Can Ball
Top 10 rappers who can play some legit ball.
HoopsVibe's Very quick call: Ballers want to be rappers and rappers want to be ballers, but these ten can actually do both. No, for real.
We put together a list of the top 10 rappers that can actually ball. The criteria for our ranking is loosely based off of their basketball resume, the competition they've played against, and our impression if we saw them ball in person. Some are big time rappers and hip hop stars, while others are a little less known, but all are ballers.
10. Rick Ross
He's big and in a neighborhood game his weight alone will carve out a lot of space. Ross definitely isn't a great athlete, but he can rebound and has surprisingly good touch for a big man.
9. Romeo
I know you're picturing that little kid from back in the day, but Romeo grew up and developed a jumper and some handles along the way.
8. Wale
Wale's been seen playing around at a lot of the celebrity games and has a descent all-around game. He's primarily a slasher that likes to get to the hole.
7. Nelly
Nelly was an amazing high school athlete. He was a star baseball and basketball player with speed on the court and a great first step.
6. The Game
Jayceon Terrell Taylor aka The Game is no stranger to the court. He is a regular at charity basketball events and we had the opportunity to see him play first hand at the 2012 Snoop Dogg 3×3 competition in Los Angeles last season. He dominated the court. Standing 6'5" and solid as a rock, the game is both strong and has a quality handle and outside shot. He is a versatile small forward. He's also played against legit D-League competition and held his own.
5. Chris Brown
This one was a shock to us. We didn't think Chris had the skills. He is a ton of talk on the court, but backs it up. We saw him play first hand against good competition in the Snoop Dogg 3×3 competition and he was definitely the best player on the court. He has a quick first step and surprisingly good pull-up jumper. He can definitely ball.
4. J. Cole
Jcole was a legit high school baller and nearly may St. John's squad as a walk-on. He is a true baller with a solid handle, outside shot, and slashing capabilities. He is the real deal on the court and off signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.
3. 2 Chainz
Tauheed Epps aka 2 Chains was a solid D1 recruit coming out of high school and ended up playing a year of ball at Alabama State. He has the game of a Penny Hardaway standing 6'5" and playing the point.
2. Stalley
Stalley is a lean guard with a mean jumper and some smooth handles to the hole. Stalley was a solid high school recruit and played a little D1 ball in college.
1. Cam'ron
Cam'ron was a high school star athlete. He grew up balling in NYC and was a Top 25 high school player recruited by schools like Georgetown and the University of Miami. Cam'ron grew up balling against legends like Stephon Marbury and holding his own. Cam'ron is the real deal on the court.

Technology Trends for Land-based Electronic Warfare Systems
Market Research Webinar Series
Title: Technology Trends for Land-based Electronic Warfare Systems
Date: October 17, 2013
Time: 8:00 AM PT/ 11:00 AM ET/ 3:00 PM UTC
Sponsor: Rohde & Schwarz
Strategy Analytics analysis points to a 27% drop in electronic warfare (EW) expenditure as a result of troop drawdowns in existing theatres, but this will not change the general trends towards asymmetric warfare and the challenge of dealing with IEDs will continue to proliferate as they become a common weapon of choice for criminal gangs to insurgencies to terrorists with global reach. Land-based EW systems are moving beyond jammers that simply barrage the environment with signals, but also block friendly communications, to selective and reactive jamming capabilities, combined with flexibility, power, modularity, and portability. This in turn will represent design challenges/opportunities for the next generation of land-based EW systems and components that will need to operate across wider bandwidths and higher frequencies as the signal environment continues to become more complex and congested. This webinar will look at the future outlook for land-based electronic warfare systems, in terms of market outlook and technology trends.

the category of "Art"
In celebration of today's release of Bun B's Rap Coloring and Activity Book, we invited our colleagues at ABRAMS to participate in the Bun B's Rap Coloring and Activity Book Challenge and #colorsomething!
It's been a while since the last time I posted on this blog about the happenings in the local NYC art world. Summer is always a bit quieter at the galleries and I just haven't had the chance to get there on the weekends. But a visit from an artist friend of ours this past weekend, made for a great reason to head to Chelsea. Hurricane Sandy hit some of the Chelsea galleries pretty hard, much art was lost and there are still some places that are closed for renovations. However, there are still a number of galleries that are open and the art scene is still bustling. Highlights of the day included after the break…
We over here at ABRAMS KIDS have started a campaign on Instagram and Twitter called A for ABRAMS ( #aforabrams ) We are collecting A's that are artful, well designed, or just plain cool from anywhere that you might find them. The idea is whenever you happen to see one of these artful A's out and about you can join us by hash tagging your A #aforabrams as well as including our Instagram or twitter handle @abramskids. Have some fun and we hope you all get to see the world around you a little better.
Artepublishing's first publication is Great Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Paintings: The Musée d'Orsay. The ebook has all of the features of a traditional fine art book (200 illustrations with text), but it also has over three hours of audio, and over 500 curated hyperlinks to everything from other relevant museum collections, to videos, to the complete works of some of the artists, and even to related books and exhibition catalogs (such as the 1867 catalogue of a Manet exhibition). All of this for $7.99 at the iBookstore; unheard of for an art book!
This month's installment of I WANT TO GO TO CHELSEA: ART AROUND TOWN & BEYOND takes us to the Storm King Art Center, located in the Hudson Valley in Mountainville, NY.
We had been car sitting for a friend of ours, and along with the responsibility of remembering to move the car in order to not get a parking ticket, came the fun of having the car to get out of town on weekends! So on a very gorgeous spring day a few weeks ago, we hopped in the car and headed upstate. Destination? Storm King.
At the end of February, I took a short trip to Boston for an opening at a pop-up gallery that my boyfriend and some friends are a part of. It was a short trip to Beantown, which included a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts to see the Ellsworth Kelly show just days before it came down. The show, a collection of 30 wood sculptures that Kelly made over the course of his career, was elegantly stunning. Most of the sculptures were massive, solid pieces in an array of woods from birch to zebra, which felt like paintings in their own right.
Over the holidays I travelled back to my home state of Iowa (go Cyclones!). While there, I had the pleasure of visiting the new Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much–Iowa isn't exactly known as an art mecca. However, I was thrilled to find that the park is filled with pieces from some of the art world's biggest names–Louise Bourgeois, Barry Flanagan, Deborah Butterfield, and Yoshitomo Nara, among many others. It was actually the highlight of my trip.
When my father was fifteen he ran away from home (Detroit) to Los Angeles. He wanted to work for Walt Disney as a cartoonist. This was in 1937. He rode the rails, thumbed rides, and eventually got to the west coast. Disney didn't want him, so he stayed and worked in a diner until fate sent some next door neighbors in for breakfast. Busted, he returned home. Thirty years later, having become an epigraphist and classics professor, he could still embellish a letter to a homesick daughter with a sketch of himself swinging along in a new sports jacket that his wife thought was "a little loud." I am that daughter and I can never take a pen to paper without some embellishing myself.
ABRAMS, like most of the publishing world, shuts down between Christmas and New Year's, and this year, I took that wonderful week and fled to Barcelona to relax, wander, and eat. (Mostly eat. But there was also quite a bit of wandering.) For the first time ever, I was (eek!) traveling alone. Friends would be coming to join me a few days later, but for the first half of the trip, the bulk of my conversations were with the (very nice) people serving me dinner.
Not gonna lie— it got kind of lonely.
Granted, those five days were a good opportunity to reflect, think deep thoughts, etc., etc., but still, they were pretty lonely—and since I'm being honest, thinking deep thoughts is not something I want to be doing on my vacations. Luckily, during a visit to MNAC (Museo Nacional d'Art de Catalunya), I ran into a familiar face: Robert Capa!
Last week I headed back to my hometown of Sioux City, Iowa for a few days of good food, fun, and relaxation. Before leaving, I leafed through an older Abrams book, Iowa, part of the Art of the State series from the late 1990s. While only 96 pages, it packs a wealth of information about the Hawkeye State including information on art (Grant Wood), public works (the bridges of Madison County), the Iowa State Fair, and of course, corn.

(Australia 30 Jul 1950 – )
251.0 x 639.0 cm overall installed
This painting is from 'The book of power' series of multi-canvas appropriation works which Imants Tillers began in 1981 and still continues. Tillers cites the work of other artists to question authorial originality, how images circulate and to investigate ideas about location and place.
The numerals 1, 2, 3 are taken from a work by New Zealand modernist painter Colin McCahon. Tillers has overlaid the McCahon work onto a landscape of Lake Wakitipu in New Zealand by colonial artist Eugène von Guérard. He has added
a third appropriation, the signature of Italian artist Georgio de Chirico. De Chirico's reuse of his own early 20th-century imagery, in works he painted much later, is an example of the cultural recycling that fascinates Tillers.

This letter was received from the Appraisal Subcommittee in Washington, D.C. on December 18, 2006 after an audit of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board conducted in October 2006. Two major areas of concern expressed by the ASC are:
The Board must rescind its policy of accepting continuing education courses on the basis of the courses sponsorship by Appraisal Foundation sponsor organizations.
In response to item 1, this demand from the ASC will be discussed at the February 9, 2007 meeting of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board.
The Board needs a substantial reduction in the number of complaint cases more than one year old by Fall 2007. "Should we not see substantial improvement, ASC staff will recommend that the ASC consider initiating a non-recognition proceeding against Texas."
In response to item 2, Chairman Ward has requested emergency funding from the Governor's office and the Legislative Budget Board to enhance the enforcement staff of TALCB for the current fiscal year and for the future. Such assistance is needed to deal effectively with the greatly increased number of complaints filed with TALCB.

Professional hockey players can shoot the puck at a level most of us can't even dream about.
I remember being perplexed by it as a little kid every time I went to an NHL game and watched warm-ups – guys barely flinch and the puck comes rocketing off their blades at speeds I couldn't fathom. If you've seen Jarome Iginla or Dany Heatley casually snap a puck and hit the glass, you know what I'm talking about.
How did that not shatter?
On the other hand, you see kids and rec players pouring their whole bodies into wrist shots, taking five seconds to release them after pulling the puck from wayyy behind their bodies (using the full heel to toe, of course), only to flutter one goal.
But the pros? Snap. Bar down.
…Well, not all the pros.
Playing in the NHL with a weak shot is a rarity for obvious reasons, but there are a few players in the NHL that make you go "…..hm. Well that wasn't very impressive" after watching them shoot.
Yes, their shots are still better than the rest of ours. And yes, they're so talented and good at so many other things that they're worthy of our praise. But hey, it's okay to admit that not every NHLer is phenomenal at everything.
I threw this out there on twitter the other day and got a lot of interesting responses. Here are the names that came up the most – I can't vouch for all the names on the list, but most make some sense to me.
Below, I take a look at two names in particular, and explain how the two "worst" shooters survive in the NHL.
7) Jay Pandolfo
6) Dan Paille
5) Tomas Kaberle
4) Jason Blake
3) Brendan Morrison
Kaberle and Blake, I can see for sure (when judged against NHL standards).
And now, here are the two men who I think have the least dangerous shots in the NHL, with explanation on how they survive.
2) Scott Gomez
Gomez has an accurate shot, so he's not "bad" per se, but sometimes it looks like he's using a nerf stick. And, he seems to know he doesn't have a bomb, which he demonstrates by being hesitant to pull the trigger.
He survives with two main skills: he's got insane vision/playmaking abilities. If you knew your shot wasn't beating anyone clean, you'd have been looking to dish your whole life too.
Second, he's elusive as all hell and skates like a waterbug – few people can change direction like him or creep around the ice with so much stealth.
He's a good player. But a bomb, he does not have.
1) And last, all around terrific player, worthy of much respect and honour….Ryan Smyth. Everytime he shoots I can't help but wonder what flex stick he uses – 300,000, maybe? XXXXXXXXstiff?
Smyth survives by scoring 101% of his goals from within ten feet of the net, banging in rebounds, tipping in pucks and just generally playing how we think "a good 'ol Canadian boy" should. He also uses no curve (seriously, like, no curve), so that explains a lot.
Any team would be glad to have Smyth. But would a coach set him up on the half-wall? C'mon. Not one that wants to keep his job.

Why Co-ignite?
Because we can no longer meet the challenges we face alone.
The biggest challenges we face today are the direct result of fragmented thinking. Whether we are talking about our crumbling education and non-profit sectors, climate change, population growth, and the increasing scarcity of adequate energy, food and water, we got here because we fragment our organizations, our actions, and our learning into separate and competing disciplines. Our actions are sub-optimized to advocate and achieve our individual agendas. The result is a deepening divide between us as we increasingly struggle with growing problems that no longer respond to traditional solutions.
But these issues are different than any we have faced before and cannot be solved by any one expert, leader, or point-of-view. Solutions to these "wicked" problems need to transcend individuals or individual organizations and include us all. They are complex multi-stakeholder dilemmas that we all have a part in creating and therefore all share a responsibility in resolving. We can no longer afford to act from a single point-of-view or idea, but must learn instead how to discover a larger WE that utilizes the wisdom within and transcends our differences.
Historical precedent and experience has prepared us to know how to:
- Organize ourselves into scalable hierarchies to solve large scale problems.
- Work independently and compete effectively to get individual rewards.
- Take individual action to address a specific issue that is important to one point of view.
- Compete and advocate for our point-of-view solution in order to win.
Now we are being challenged to learn how to:
- Come together as empowered individuals and individual organizations to work effectively as a collective in order to address larger scale work and complex multi-stakeholder issues.
- See ourselves as empowered individuals and individual organizations that have an important unique voice that needs to be heard as part of a contribution toward a larger effort. We have been taught to see ourselves only as replaceable doers of repetitive tasks defined by a higher authority. Many of us eventually grow weary of being and acting so small.
- Change the dysfunctional system we are all part of in order to transform it into a system that is capable of supporting and nourishing us in this new environment of relentless change.
- Find a way for us ALL to win.
Co-ignite dedicates itself to:
- Helping us to reimagine how we can work together to improve our communities and prepare our citizens to engage in a democratic society.
- Providing the infrastructure, learning, and methods for moving beyond the traditional thinking of ME to the power of the collective and diverse WE in order to creatively invent the future WE most want for ourselves.
- Helping people move beyond being only a replaceable part in a machine of action to acting in the world as a whole human being that seeks to make an important impact.
- Encouraging each of us to more deeply understand and develop our own individual voices, so that we may listen more deeply to others in order to transcend our differences and collaborate on creating solutions none of us can reach alone.
Even though we are not very good at it yet, we need to begin learning how to work together in a different way. We need to learn how to get better at working as a network of interdependent free-agents instead of a top-down driven hierarchy. We need to learn how to expect that each member will have an important voice; that they have a creative contribution and a responsibility to the whole organization and to the whole effort we are collectively addressing.
We won't be able meet our collective challenges if we expect each person to figure this out on their own. However:
- We don't currently have the needed infrastructure for taking effective action collectively.
- We don't have a backbone organization that can effectively lead collaborative efforts.
- We haven't developed the individual and collective skills required for acting interdependently.
Until now...
Because there IS a better way to make our communities better, and we can co-create it together.
We are all facing an unprecedented challenge right now to find a different way of coming together to get things done. Most of us have a sense that our institutions and organizations are no longer working as they once did, but aren't sure what we can do about it or what an alternative method of working together in community might look like. Co-ignite provides clear leadership in how we can work together for our individual an collective good.

Infosys Ltd, India's second-largest software services exporter, has jointly built a new software platform for one of its oldest clients, US-based Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which develops product safety tests.
Infosys, which is hiving off its products, platforms and solutions (PPS) business into a separate subsidiary, said the new software platform will integrate all of UL's business units and subsidiaries together and help UL respond to customer demands faster as well as save costs.
Infosys and UL jointly developed the new platform.
"The road ahead looks even more promising as we bring together our technology and business expertise along with a robust set of software assets to create an information platform that will redefine customer experience for the services industry," said Sanjay Purohit, global head of Infosys's PPS business in a statement on Thursday.
The new software platform launch comes months after Infosys developed a sales software platform called TradeEdge for its top global and retails customers such as Procter & Gamble Co. to help them save on logistical and operational costs and grow revenue from emerging economies such as India and West Asia.
Infosys is expected to launch more software products in the coming months.
In an interview last month, Infosys's new joint presidents B.G. Srinivas and U.B. Pravin Rao said the company was in the process of creating a separate subsidiary for its products, platforms and solutions business, which is at the core of its 3.0 strategy.
As part of the 3.0 strategy, Infosys aims to generate a third of its overall revenue in the near-term from new areas of technology such as cloud computing and Big Data analytics.
"We now have one common business infrastructure—we eliminated tremendous amount of complexities, we eliminated a lot of cost…we got rid of all of that and now we're standardized under this one Oracle stack," UL chief information officer Christian Anschuetz said in an interview.
In 2012, Underwriters Laboratories created several new business units and transformed itself from being a non-profit organization to a for-profit company.
UL, which has been an Infosys client since 2004, spends about 30% of its total information technology budget outsourcing back-office functions such as software development and maintenance and enterprise resource planning implementations to technology vendors such as Infosys.

- Conference date: 17-31 June 2002
- Location: Pisa (Italy)
The interaction of the solar wind with the Very Local Interstellar Medium is mediated largely by collisional charge exchange of interstellar neutral atomic hydrogen and protons in the heliosheath. This interaction provides an additional momentum to the interstellar population over that due to the charged population alone that leads to a decrease in the expected size of the heliospheric cavity. The interaction is complicated by time variations in the internal solar wind flow, the presence of both the interstellar and interplanetary magnetic fields, and the large mean free paths for charge exchange. Proper treatment of the problem calls for a fully six‐dimensional, time‐dependent kinetic interaction model, yet computational complexities inherent in such a model have precluded its full implementation. Although the applicability of fluid models to this problem has been questioned, one can expect them to provide fairly good estimates of the various boundary locations provided that all salient moments are included. While the ion population can be approximated to first order by a convected Maxwellian, given the relatively small ion gyroradii, the neutral population acquires significant non‐Maxwellian features due to the large mean free paths for collisions. In this case the lowest‐order moment description is the thirteen‐moment description of Grad. The thirteen quantities are the density, temperature, velocity vector, heat flux vector, and five deviator components of the pressure tensor. Unlike the case of the Navier‐Stokes equations, there is no a priori assumption about collisions; the only assumption is how the hierarchy of fluid equations is to be truncated. To connect the neutral and ion components, moments of the Boltzmann collision operator must be evaluated for representative distribution functions that give rise to such moments, using the appropriate collision cross section. New results are reported for the collision operator moments corresponding to the full set of pressure‐tensor components and the heat flux vector components. All of these can be expressed in closed form in terms of sums of confluent hypergeometric functions of the first kind (Kummer's function). This derivation completes the formalism required for the implementation of a time‐dependent, magnetized fluid model of the interaction using the thirteen‐moment formalism to describe the neutral component.

Jacksonville Doctor Sentenced to 5 Years in Federal Prison for Receiving Child Pornography
Jacksonville, FL - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces that U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard today sentenced Jacksonville physician Robert Davis Williams (45, Jacksonville) to five years in federal prison and a ten year term of supervised release for receiving images and videos of child pornography over the internet. Williams pled guilty to this charge on March 14, 2011. Immediately after the sentencing hearing, Williams was remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
According to court documents, on October 21, 2009, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office ("JSO") received a complaint regarding possible child pornography at the residence of Williams. JSO officers responded to the residence, and JSO detectives were shown a video file on a desktop computer belonging to Williams which depicted child pornography. With the consent of an occupant of the residence (the "Complainant"), the detectives searched the residence and discovered hundreds of compact disks and DVDs containing pornography in Williams' residence and garage, along with hundreds of adult magazines. This search also revealed numerous floppy disks, zip disks, and VHS videotapes which contained pornography. Although many of the videos were commercially produced adult pornography, most of the videos had been made or copied on a home computer. Detectives observed Williams' computer and discovered an open folder on the desktop monitor which displayed several videos depicting child pornography. Pursuant to the consent, the detectives took custody of the computer, a digital camera and memory card, 41 VHS videotapes, 697 compact disks and DVDs, 62 floppy disks, and two zip disks.
On October 26, 2009, acting at the direction of JSO detectives, the Complainant placed a controlled telephone call to Williams. The telephone call was audio recorded. During this conversation, Williams admitted, among other things, downloading child pornography and apologized for his "sickness." Williams admitted that he was hiding the child pornography from the Complainant because he was "too ashamed and embarrassed," further indicating that he would download pornography using peer-to-peer networks.
A subsequent search of Williams' computer revealed approximately 113 videos of child pornography, 93 images of child pornography, and 36 image files from Window artifacts on Williams' computer system and the compact disks.
The case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

RE: Nothing to trade-sasbe-asking for things for postage (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: chemocurl on 03.27.2008 at 11:48 am in Seed Exchange Forum Member has nothing to trade or is asking for things for postage...just starting out
Welcome to Garden Web and the Seed Exchange! Since you are just starting out, I suggest you maybe reply to some of the many more recent sase/sasbe offer threads. Look for threads that say SABE, SASBE, or FREE You might want to respond to those that are offering more than one variety, to get the most bang for your postage cost. You will then likely be asked to mail a BE (Bubble Envelope). These can be found at WM, the Dollar Store, CVS Drug Store, Office Supply places, etc. Depending upon the size of the envelope, you may be able to cut a large one in half and make two envelopes. Be careful though that you do not make them square, as opposed to rectangular, as that will cost extra postage when mailing it both ways. Include in the envelope whatever you are instructed to send by the offering member. Please send the envelope out in a timely fashion, or let the member know if it is going to be delayed. Please let the member know if you have changed your mind about the SASE/SASBE offer. Often seeds are put aside for these sasbe offers, and if members don�t follow through with mailing out their bubble envelopes, those are seeds being just tied up, when they �could� have been shared and enjoyed by another member. Once you receive your goodie package please let the member know that they arrived at their destination. Last, but not least, try and take a moment to post a review for the offering member at the Rate and Review Forum. I have included a link to the forum below. Instructions for using the Forum are at the top of the main page there. Please be sure and do a search to see if there is an existing review for the member. If there is, please post to it. If there are numerous review threads, please post to the one that has the most replies. Happy Gardening! Comments welcome! Suggestions for improvement welcomed! Spelling? grammar? Better wording?

posted by: chemocurl on 03.27.2008 at 11:08 am in Seed Exchange Forum Addressing the NO Email link on their Member Page
Welcome to Garden Web and the Seed Exchange I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. To set up your email link, just go to the bottom on any page here, and click on Member Pages
That will place an email link on your member page, making it handy for members (potential traders/sharers) to easily reach you in the future.. There is no need to hunt up a post to find an email addy. (Optional)While you are there editing, you might want to place your state abbreviation in the one box provided for the garden zone (and Location). You will find it is often beneficial if members know where you are located......even more so, if/when you maybe want to do some plant trading. It is a postage cost, days in transit, temperature/climate thing to be considered. Happy Gardening and trading. (signed)member name, member name abbreviation, or real first name Suggestions?...comments I will be adding other things here in this thread addressing sase/sasbe/BEAP as well as the importance of putting up a trade list and how to do it. I think Mother Earth News may have sent us a whole bunch of future seed addicts/enablers.

RE: Seed Pods? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: iris_gal on 05.07.2011 at 04:52 pm in Iris Forum This is taken from the linked site. Hope it helps you.
SEED REPRODUCTION Seed pods will develop on most wild irises. If pollinated, each pod will produce from several to about 60 cork-like seeds. This method of increase is very important to iris hybridizers in developing new forms and colors but is slow. All the seeds in a pod may not germinate the first year. Gardeners who desire large quantities of plants for mass plantings may be interested in using seeds also, if trueness to variety is not important. Most Louisiana irises are hybrids and their seedlings will vary in color, size and form. If iris seeds are left on the stalk to mature fully and harden, they germinate very slowly. The fully matured, late harvested, dried-out seeds will go into what is known as a "rest period" and it may take several years for all of them to spout. However, you can hasten germination of iris seed by harvesting them when the seed pod is still partially green. Planting at harvest time (June and July in Louisiana) will produce a higher percentage of seedlings by fall and early spring. Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.louisianairis.com/louisiana.native.iris.htm NOTES: Iris Seed Pods

posted by: luxrosa on 02.23.2005 at 04:48 pm in Organic Rose Growing Forum How to mix vinegar with baking soda;
Mix 1 teaspoon vinegar with 2 quarts water, then add 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon canola oil. It will fizz much less this way. The canola oil helps the solution stick to the leaves. This works wonderfully on my roses by stopping fungus from spreading. I was glad to read, above, that baking soda works by killing the fungus directly and not by changing the ph. because logically an acid and baking soda would tend to balance out each other on the ph scale.

Hi I'm Desi Gallegos, the Beauty Editor for Seventeen and I'm taking you backstage to the Reyes Show so you can get the look at home. I'm backstage with Miyako and she is going to tell us about the look that she's created for today.
The look for today is a little bit of a playful make-up like the little girl doing the make-up so the mascara is a little bit crumpy.
Uh huh. And the thick lipstick she stole from the mother's closet. I use a very thin foundation then I use a lot of mascara so to make a crumpy lashes. I use a mascara base first. It's like the no color. They make the lashes thick and heavy than regular mascara over. And also I put them together with the fingers sometimes. So normally, we put mascara from the loose to the top but this case we're supposed to light this. I use this Oriental lipstick. I created this color for the latest collection then put the color to the lip blush then make a very defined lip line, make a beautiful shape. Well, it's very simple make-up so that's it.

text: Ditto. I am using it for my honeymoon, but only cause we WILL be eating out for every meal including signature meals (we're getting the deluxe plan) and for budgeting purposes the plan will help us to have things paid off before we go. I did pick out everything I want to eat the other and added up the prices and it was about $200 less than the plan, and that was before the 2 snacks a day. The other good with having it all paid out first... I'm cheap and I'll back out last minute and end up just getting counter service every meal to save money if it hasn't already been paid for. So, it will save me from eating giant meat-topped hot dogs for every meals of my honeymoon! Generally speaking though, the DP isn't worth it, I agree.

7. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (1998)
You play a small boy dressed up as Robin Hood, sort of, but accompanied by a fairy, and you warp your way through time and space using a puzzle-solving musical toy. So far, so normal, but the gigantic gameworld and well-executed visual feast of Link's first 3D outing meant you might have started it as a boy, but you finished it a man. A 38-year-old man with an unhealthy interest in magical instruments, but technically a man.
More after the break...
6. Battlefield 3 (2011)
The single-player mission was a decent but unremarkable FPS, but it's the superb multiplayer fragfests, across massive maps and with loads of different vehicles to crash, that turned Battlefield 3 into a full year's worth of entertainment. We still pop in every now and then for a spot of casual evening killing.
5. Fallout 3 (2008)
An immense, action-packed reinvention of the RPG genre, Fallout 3 gave you a real sense of time as you shaped your character from birth in the safety of the Vault, and then of enormous space as you sent her/him out into the vast, post-apocalyptic wastes as an adult. More than that, there's just so much to do - you'd spend a while clearing some buildings of Fire Ants, take out a Supermutant stronghold, you'd look out of the window and it'd be September.

I believe the climate in parts of the UK must be similar to Formosa particularly during the winter which is why these orchids seem to be able to stand up to and even thrive in what ever the weather seems to throw at them. Calvin recently posted a nice variety of my bog basic clump and refered to Pleiones as the Crocuses of the orchid world which I think is a very good discription. |

That's incredible!! Mine are really, really slow this year. |
Beautifully cultivated! I generally stay away from them as the ones I see aren't anywhere near as well grown as yours. That is a wonderful display and an example to other growers. |
Thank you all for your very kind remarks. I really can't take any credit for their cultivation. They have never been under a roof or received any protection from the weather and it can be very cold and wet here in the winter. They do come in for some watering and a little weak fertilizer during the summer. I imagine Pleiones would not be happy in consistantly warm conditions. Peter |

My neighbor has a greenhouse and we've been talking about getting a kaki persimmon to grow in it. Currently it's empty because it is quite hard to keep the temps from fluctuating.
I had a 3-year-old Meyers Improved lemon that I gave to her. She planted it in the greenhouse and it survived the winter just fine. It was the spring that did it in. The greenhouse just gets too hot. We were thinking of trying again and I was wondering what suggestions there might be for covering it with a shade cloth so the heat does not get too intense. Or can someone explain to a greenhouse newbie a simple system for regulating the temp? Also cultivar suggestions would be nice. She grew up in Huntington Beach so my guess is the persimmons she remembers were the Fuyu. I was thinking an astringent cultivar would be nice to try, maybe Patapsco or Smith's Best? |

I don't know why you would need a greenhouse for kaki. They grow well in zones 5 and warmer. If you do put it in a greenhouse, you need a method for opening the green house during the warmer weather. |
There are mechanical arms which open once the temperature exceeds a limit. They are purely passive (part of the mechanism expands thermally, and once that part exceeds a certain length, the arm is forced to extend fully), not very reliable because the tolerances are tight, and they can only drive small loads. Look for vent openers on google. Otherwise just buy an electrical vent opener with thermostat and electrically driven arm. I am interested in this because I am considering making a large tunnel for persimmons, figs, and other Zone 8 fruits, influenced by Fruitnut. I can not see the advantage of a GH over a tunnel, specially since the plastic can be removed quickly. One layer buys you some 15F, but that is all that is needed to keep the plants alive. I would just need a couple vent openers. |

Charlie, You are very Optimistic if you plan on growing Kaki in zone 5 without a ideal microclimate and/or protection |
The passive cooling systems aren't very effective because there isn't enough air movement. You need exhaust fans that exchange the air once every minute to hold temperature rise to 15F. To get more cooling an evaporative cooling system like mine is needed. I can hold inside temperature below outside if dew point is low. To do that you still need the one air exchange per minute from exhaust fans and a wet wall on the opposite side of GH. My greenhouse, double layer poly inflated, offers almost no freeze protection unless heated. So there are no short cuts on either heating or cooling. Besides overheating and freezes one also needs chilling and proper temperatures and humidity to grow and ripen the chosen crop. One needs to understand how a greenhouse works and set it up to match the climate and crop objectives. If the owner of the greenhouse in question is willing to make upgrades I would be glad to help set it up properly. Colorado is a great climate to grow almost anything in a greenhouse. But if the setup is wrong failure is close at hand. |
The approach outlined above is for a full out greenhouse. For those crops that can be exposed to the weather during the frost free season, a high tunnel approach would be less expensive. But you still need control of the temperature during the rest of the year, 7-8 months in z5 CO. This might involve roll up sides and many other options. This approach would be harder to automate and just one missed freeze or over heating event can ruin the whole year. |

Okay, I appreciate all the honesty. I will let the idea pass. I have ordered an NC-10 from Cliff England. I am supposing that I will not have to bother with any particular protection for Virginiana. I am curios about the hybrids such as Nikita's Gift and Rosseyanka. Would either of these be hardy enough for zone 5 and still give fruit close to the fruit of a kaki? Catalog descriptions are always glowing. What is the real deal with these? |
MG, Rossyanka can handle temp of -20F just fine. I do not protect my Rossyanka at all. Tony |

The classic teardrop lens shape gets the Oakley treatment with ultra-lightweight titanium alloy in iconic styling that takes you anywhere with comfort and clarity, whether you're going for a refined look or a casual approach. With High Definition Optics® (HDO®), Ti Crosshair® also plays well with active lifestyles. It comes with our premium Iridium® Polarized lenses in two tint options, and it offers the dawn-to-dusk comfort of our new air-filled silicone nose pads in a snag-free design that can be adjusted for a custom fit.
For a feel that ignores gravity, we utilized the metal of fighter jets and satellites. A durable alloy of titanium is shaped with sculptural contours that set you apart from the common crowd, and inlaid metal icons mark its authenticity. Whether it's time to dress up or ease down, Ti Crosshair delivers with originality. It's the cousin of our original Crosshair (a sunglass made of C-5™ alloy), and it brings you all the same uncompromising benefits of Oakley optical innovation.
Raked-back contours of 8.75 base lens curvature extend your peripheral vision for a wide-open view. With ordinary eyewear, that much curvature would lead to optical distortion, but we took advantage of HDO® to enhance this sunglass with XYZ Optics®. It's an innovation that ensures your vision stays accurate and true, not just straight ahead but along the entire lens contour. And with the extended curvature, you won't have wind and sunshine sneaking around the sides like with ordinary sunglasses. The pure Plutonite® lenses hold every UV ray at bay to protect your eyes with 100% filtering.
The sleek linear earstems are part of a Three-Point Fit that ditches the conventional approach to bring you the best of comfort. We added stem sleeves made of Unobtainium®, a soft and smooth material that's engineered to increase its grip with moisture, so go ahead and work up a sweat with weekend recreation. To let you customize the fit, Ti Crosshair has adjustable nose pads — our new air-filled silicone design that maxes comfort and eliminates the snagging that comes with plain old sunglasses.
Both editions of Ti Crosshair come with the best polarized lenses on the planet, thanks to a process that eliminates the haze and optical distortion common to ordinary polarized lenses. Made for sunny days, the first style has a Titanium frame hue and Tungsten Iridium Polarized lenses that increase visual contrast and boost depth perception. The second style features a Pewter finish and Black Iridium Polarized lenses that defy the glare of extreme sun while helping you maintain color recognition. This frame also can be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses in either single vision or progressive.
Designed to balance light transmission and reduce glare, this premium lens coating is made with superheated metal oxides. It is available in a spectrum of colors for optimizing vision in virtually any light condition.
Improving safety, comfort and performance, Oakley HDPolarized lenses filter out 99% of reflected glare without the haze and optical distortion that can come with polarized lenses made with conventional manufacturing techniques.

Wedding: 4/20/2013
Scarlet Petal is an amazing job for my wedding at the Spertus Institute this past April. From boutonnieres to our 12ft chuppah, they didn't miss a detail. I came to Scarlet Petal with little direction and few ideas. I know my colors and what flowers I didn't like and that was about it. David and Sarah really tried to understand what style of wedding I was going for and what I imagined it would look like. We spent over an hour and half going through images of flowers and talking about how they could incorporate each into different pieces to make them different but cohesive. I left feeling like they really understood me and could take my vision to a higher level.
When I went in to see a trial piece a few months later I met with David again. I was overall very impressed with their work but asked to make a few adjustments based on my initial reactions. David was very open-minded and flexible to my suggestions and I left knowing I was in good hands.
The day of the wedding, Sarah showed up to my suite with the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. They were stunning and I was so excited to give them out to family and friends. The rest of the wedding was incredible as well. I can't say enough as to how beautiful the ceremony and reception spaces looked. I was blown away.
Flowers and decorations are not cheap. Anywhere. But Scarlet Petal really made an effort to work within my budget. We reused almost everything from the ceremony for the reception. They even designed small, simple vases of succulents, used on the dinner tables, that I was able to reuse for our Sunday brunch as well. Overall was completely satisfied with Scarlet Petal and would highly recommend them to any!
Wedding: 11/3/2012
I decided to work with Scarlet Petal because of my initial meeting with Esther. We spent over an hour together and I felt like she took all the ideas out of my head. At the same time I also felt like she knew my venue back to front and was able to explain the productive changes she wanted to make to my vision based on the limitations, lighting and color of the space itself.
Esther was also able to put together a detailed proposal while sticking to our small budget. Once we saw the sample of the tall centerpiece we knew that the flowers for our wedding would be spectacular!
Everything was beautiful on our wedding day! I could not have received more compliments regarding all the flowers. Scarlet Petal also decorated the poles of our chuppah which were just plain metal poles. The chuppah looked completely transformed with just the smallest addition of decorating the poles with leaves and flowers.
I recommend Scarlet Petal to any bride who wants a florist who is a true artist, listens, gets it and won't break the bank!
Wedding: 4/2/2011
Scarlet Petal did the flowers for our April 2011 wedding. Hands down was the best vendor we worked with. Esther took us under her wing and worked within our budget. Our wedding reception was at Carnivale, and the room looked amazing. During our planning for the reception the original proposal was not exactly what I had envisioned, so Jenny worked with us, (should I say me, my husband was up for anything:)), and helped us get the flowers to look exactly like I had envisioned. Esther actually went on maternity leave during our planning process but bent over backwards to make everything perfect, in fact she even called me from home one night during her leave. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Esther and the crew at Scarlet Petal. I only wish we had another event to plan, so we could work with them again.:)
Wedding: 9/7/2013
Sarah worked with us and spent her time going over designs and coming up with a plan for our flowers. She helped us stay in our budget while making sure we got the look we wanted. She worked with my Mother in Law who did all the personal flowers and even offered space in the shop if she needed it. The room looked amazing and we got lots of compliments on the centerpieces.
Wedding: 7/27/2012
Everything was picture perfect! The only problem was they used wire ribbon on the mother of the bride corsage and it snagged my mother's dress. We could not have gotten a better deal for our money!
Wedding: 7/16/2011
Esther and the team at Scarlet Petal were so amazing that I don't even know where to begin. My husband and I got married in July at the InterContinental Chicago. We visited two other florists before finding Esther, and we knew within five minutes of talking to her that we'd found our wedding florist. We knew next to nothing about flowers, but we did have strong opinions about what looks we liked and didn't like. Esther was quickly able to pick up on our tastes and made outstanding suggestions. She even brought out flowers and vases to help us visualize. And unlike the other florists we met with, Esther helped us strategize ways to make the most of our budget. Our flower arrangements and bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. Had I not known how much we paid, I would have guessed our flower budget had been thousands more than it was. We received so many compliments on our flowers, and we definitely have Esther to thank. She was absolutely delightful to work with, and we so much appreciated her patience, honesty, and creativity!
Wedding: 10/22/2011
We worked with Jenny- she so talented! We couldn't be happier with how everthing turned out!
Wedding: 8/13/2011
Before choosing a florist, I really did my research. After meeting with several vendors, I finally met Esther at Scarlet Petal. Esther was an absolute dream to work with . . . I was a bride that had a few specific ideas about decor and the overall style of my wedding, but had trouble making decisions about colors and specific types of flowers. Esther had WONDERFUL, creative, and artistic ideas about how to make my ceremony and reception absolutely beautiful. She also helped us stay well within our budget. I was so blown away by not only the great customer service and professionalism (they took care of absolutely everything so that I didn't have to even think about the final look or logistics), but the stunningly beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements. What I wanted was for my wedding to have a very personal feel, and Esther absolutely helped us achieve that. I would recommend Scarlet Petal for any event!
Wedding: 8/20/2011
I got married on August 20th at the Harold Washington Library. We were supposed to work with another floral vendor but after hearing some horror stories about him, we opted to go with Esther at Scarlet Petal. It was the BEST wedding planning decision we made! Esther was SO responsive, flexible and very open about what she thought would work and wouldn't work in the space. She was able to do everything we wanted and hoped for within our budget. She incorporated everything I presented it to her, and the results were stunning. We STILL are getting compliments about the decor! My husband is Caucasian and I am Indian, but we only had a Hindu ceremony. I was really striving to go for decor that was NOT traditional Indian, but very modern/elegant with clean lines. Esther brought my vision to reality! Drom our crisp white fabric mandap adorned with huge red/purple flower arrangements to our tall, medium and small centerpieces cascading down our estate tables with different candles - everything was PERFECT! When I walked into our reception hall with my husband, we were just so amazed. Our cake was an exact replica of a photo we had provided Esther with beautiful flowers streaming down it. I highly recommend Scarlet Petal. They are an honest, open, flexible and transparent business, which is sometimes hard to find when planning a wedding!
Wedding: 9/10/2011
I used Jenny and Scarlet Petal for my wedding at the Harold Washington Library and am so glad I chose to go with them! Jenny was awesome to work with throughout the planning process. She worked with my vague ideas to come up with beautiful arrangements, answered all of my questions, and didn't even blink when I thought about changing some of the arrangments a few weeks prior to the wedding. Scarlet Petal was by far the best vendor I worked with throughout the hectic wedding planning process! Their work was way above and beyond my expectations.
Wedding: 10/29/2011
Just had my wedding at the James and used Jenny & Scarlet Petal for my flowers... THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL... GORGEOUS.... and really made the room pop. Flowers are still going strong at home and its 5 days later! I had come in with some pretty specific ideas and a tight budget and Jenny was still able to make everything happen. She was professional, very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to work with. Had a wonderful experience with SP and would highly recommend to any bride! :o)
Wedding: 10/21/2011
Scarlet Petal did a wonderful job from start to finish. During our initial consultation, Jenny showed us some beautiful photos of their past work and we got a very good idea of their elegant, clean style. Jenny was very organized while working with us on order which made things very easy. Everything was perfect when our wedding day arrived. The delivery of personal flowers to our hotel was on time and they were stunning! The centerpieces and other arrangements at the hall were gorgeous and exactly as we had discussed. Breathtaking! Too bad I'm only getting married once, because I'd love to work with Scarlet Petal again.
Wedding: 9/16/2011
We were so lucky to work with Esther. I wasn't exactly clear on what I wanted, but she took my thoughts and really carried them out to create a really beautiful day. My bouquet was amazing, and the wedding party had the most perfect flowers. The center pieces were fresh, classic and amazing. The ceremony flowers were exquisite. Scarlet petal and Esther were the best!
Wedding: 8/6/2011
Beautiful arrangements and wonderful service! I used Scarlet Petal for my summer 2011 wedding. Picking flowers for our wedding was a difficult task because I had a very specific vision in my mind, but I did not know anything about flowers. Scarlet Petal was able to figure out all of my needs – even when I could not articulate them. Esther was fantastic. She was the only florist that listened when I said that I wanted to have lanterns as a part of my centerpieces! After I described the colors I was looking for, the lanterns, and the mood I wanted at my wedding she was instantly able to start talking about ideas that would create the atmosphere I wanted. I felt like I could trust Esther to make my wedding day beautiful from the start and I am glad that I did. The centerpieces were breathtaking, and all of the bouquets, ceremony decorations and reception accents were beautiful. Esther and Scarlet Petal were incredible to work with, and their work was outstanding.
Wedding: 5/11/2010
beautiful arrangements very helpful and friendly, highly recomend!
Wedding: 2/19/2011
Scarlet Petal is AMAZING! I initially began working with Esther, who was wonderful. I know little about flowers, but was able to give her a few types I liked, the colors I envisioned and a couple pictures. From there, she drafted a proposal that sounded nothing short of gorgeous. She also hit my price point, which was also very important to me. Communication was easy, and I always felt very comfortable during the process of working with them. A couple weeks prior to my wedding, Esther went on maternity leave, so she asked me to come into look at a sample centerpiece and meet Jenny who would take over the coordinating from there. Jenny was also extremely friendly, and I never for one second got nervous with having a new person running the show. Everything ran very smoothly and they certainly did not dissapoint. When I walked into my reception venue, I was thrilled to see the floral arrangements and how fabulous it looked. I have heard endless comments on how beautiful the flowers were and what an incredible job they did. I would highly, highly recommend Scarlet Petal to anyone in the Chicago area. The entire experience was an absolute pleasure!!
Wedding: 3/6/2010
I literally met with and visited 10 or more florist for my wedding. I had a very specific budget and found a picture of what I wanted. Scarlet Petal was the only vendor that was able to meet my floral needs within (close to) my budgetary requirements. Esther was a pleasure to work with. She also gave me a number of recommendations. When we did have an issue with the Mothers' corsages, Scarlet Petal reimbursed us appropriately. Excellent service and quality. I would highly recommend them to another bride and use them if I had another wedding.
Wedding: 8/7/2010
My husband and I were married in August 2010 and I found Scarlet Petal through Yelp. From the instant we engaged Scarlet Petal, from the first initial email, I found Esther to be incredibly professional, super sweet, and extremely creative.
Esther made time to meet with us within a week of our first communication and when we did meet it was like meeting with an old friend; very comfortable and we really felt as though she understood what we wanted.
While at our first meeting, we explained our 'vision' for our flowers and instantly she began showing us examples of work that would fit our character and request.
The following week, Esther followed up with the most beautiful storyboards and she had gotten it all right: the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, everything was modern with a vintage twist and very chic. Exactly what we wanted.
I have received so many compliments on all of the arrangements and would recommend Scarlet Petal 100% (and Esther) to anyone looking for a FANTASTIC florist.
OH AND the service was very reasonably priced.
Wedding: 11/6/2010
I used the Scarlet Petal for my wedding and I must say they did an absolutely amazing job. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my flowers, I received many compliments. From my bouquet to my bridesmaids to the centerpieces, everything was perfect! I also felt that they gave an extrememly reasonable price. I give this flower company an A+.
Wedding: 10/10/2010
I'm so happy that we decided to go with Scarlet Petal for our October 2010 wedding! When I first started thinking about flowers, I didn't really have a clear vision of what I wanted, with the exception of highlighting fall colors. I met with Jen in the early spring, and she was really helpful in offering suggestions to go with our fall theme. I also feel like she took the time to understand our budget (which I didn't feel was the case with some of the other florists I met with). In the early summer, I received an email from Jen that she was going to be leaving Chicago to move to California. At first I was upset, but she helped to smooth the transition to one of the other designers (Jenny). I met with Jenny to go through the original proposal, and she was great too! She offered some more suggestions and helped finalize all of the details. As I said before, I couldn't have been happier with the results - Jenny was amazing, and we got so many compliments about how beautiful all the flowers were!

I received my first solicitation from this organization yesterday and the outside of the envelope said "check enclosed." Sure enough, there was a $2.00 check enclosed. This was an obvious gimmick that I find to be offensive and a potential waste of money. For this reason alone, I will not give to this organization. Moreover, I've recently been flooded with solicitations from various organizations and I'm just getting tired of it. Obviously, I gave to some organization that gave/sold my information. From my perspective, charities would do well to avoid gimmicks, overly emotional appeals and supplementing their income by selling their contributors' contact information.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
