Hotel Methuselah
In Hotel Methuselah, stage and film form an elaborate and sometimes alarming relationship which, in turn, tells of the various and surprising encounters of Harry, a night porter.
I have never quite understood what it is about night porters that make them such compelling confidants in fiction but Harry has obviously got it. In and out the people go, whispering him secrets - and in and out of their rooms he goes and in and out, their latest secret. Technically and visually, it's incredibly slick and beautiful but, like Harry's various encounters, this proves to be superficial.
Beautiful things are boring - there is not enough tension and the script is trite and riddled with cliches. The cast talk in flat little voices and the similarity of the characters may be deliberate but is ultimately tiring. The technical and visual trickery that is initially charming becomes frustrating, the cleverness becomes tedious and the overwhelming urge is a need to escape the relentless artifice. The design by Laura Hopkins and Rodrigo Velasquez's digital cinematography are both to be highly commended but an encounter with Hotel Methesulah is like an encounter with one of Harry's women - aesthetically pleasing but imbued with a sense of growing disappointment as you realise that behind the smiling face is a great big hole.

For its part, Labor looks destined to lead the Knesset's opposition; its chairwoman, Shelly Yachimovich, has vowed not to join a Netanyahu coalition. Tzipi Livni's new Hatnua party, which won just six seats, is likely to stay in the opposition, too.
The election represented a major defeat for Livni, who in the last election led the Kadima party to 28 seats – more than any other party. This time, the eviscerated Kadima failed to win even a single seat.
Hatnua's poor showing also suggested how little of the election was about negotiations with the Palestinians. Livni made much of the issue during the campaign, but it clearly failed to resonate with voters. Hatnua's six seats equaled the showing of Meretz, the solidly left-wing party. By contrast, Labor, traditionally a promoter of peace talks, barely raised the issue in the campaign. Instead it focused on socioeconomic issues and made significant Knesset gains.
With Election Day over, the coalition building begins: To win another term as prime minister, Netanyahu now must cobble together an alliance of at least 61 Knesset members to form Israel's next government. Who he chooses – and who agrees to join him – will determine a great deal about the course charted in the years to come by the Israeli government.
ELECTION RESULTS (according to exit polling):
Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu: 31 Yesh Atid: 18 Labor: 17 Shas: 13 Jewish Home: 12 Meretz: 6 United Torah Judaism: 6 Hatnua: 6 Hadash: 5 Raam: 4 Balad: 2

Hey all-
I thought you all might like some of the Disney Icons I have accumulated over the past few years. I've been debating starting a tread like this for a few days, and if there is one like this, please let me know and I'll post in there. I do not take credit for these icons, as I have taken them from various Disney communities, mainly on LiveJournal. *Think of me as your icon liason hehe* If you would like to use them, feel free. I know some of them exceed the parameters for avatars, but they can still be used in sigs, or if you are so inclined, re-sized to fit the size requirements to be an avatar.
I'll post a few every day, or as I find them.

Denise Donohue, Donohue AssociatesThere was a time when we were working to sell fruit to a large retail grocer.
Well, actually, we weren't working that hard to place produce with them.
The retailer is widely known as a quality upscale chain with a very strong social conscience. Organic comes quickly to mind.
But since it's pretty dadgum hard to grow organic produce in Michigan, where it rains and dews daily for months, we sort of wrote off the retailer.
We can't do anything with them, sob, sob. We can't grow organic fruit here — it's too hard, too expensive, etc.
The grocer did pick up some of our product via a wholesale marketer, but since we "knew" what it wanted to sell and thought we couldn't provide it, we pretty much steered clear of direct dealings. Let the littler growers nibble around the edges for them.
We essentially wrote off the entire chain.
One day, a produce buyer from there called me. He was straddling the fence of social responsibility, needing to promote locally grown produce and at the same time demonstrate they were preserving the environment.
"I know you can't grow organic fruit in Michigan, just give me something I can tell my customers," he practically begged.
"I know Michigan growers do good things for the environment. Give me something so I can tell my customers."
Well, let me say that most produce buyers won't pick up the phone and plead with you to fine-tune your marketing approach so they can buy more of your stuff.
For me it was a priceless lesson — actually several lessons — for a lifetime of better food marketing.
First, why would we make an assumption about what the customer wanted?
Moreover, why would we conclude we couldn't do it — didn't want to get our feelings hurt?
In hindsight, produce companies interested in growing sales and profitability will make a thorough study of their top prospects and design a pitch specific to each retailer and its clientele.
You have the top-quality produce they need, but are you positioning it properly for their shoppers?
It's a micro-marketing world these days.
Of course, that kind of thinking means we have to break away from the intense hour-by-hour demands of existing customers, clear our minds and immerse ourselves in the new customer and their shoppers.
What do they want?
This takes time and concentration, which is probably why it doesn't get done routinely. Especially after a prolonged economic downturn, where staffing and resources have been bare bones.

Benefits of da Vinci GYN Surgery
Traditional gynecology surgery meant a 6–8 week recovery. For a busy woman, the thought of that much time is probably overwhelming. Here's some great news — you now have the ability to get a hysterectomy that could help you get back to your life faster. With the Midlands' only robotic-assisted technology, the experienced physicians at Palmetto Health have performed more than 1,200 GYN surgeries using the da Vinci technology. Compared to traditional surgery, patients choosing da Vinci® surgery may experience:
- Smaller surgical incisions (typically 1–2 cm)
- Reduced blood loss and need for transfusions
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort
- Less risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and return to normal daily activities
Types of Da Vinci® GYN Surgeries
Our gynecologists perform the following surgeries utilizing advanced da Vinci® robotic-assisted technology:
- Hysterectomy: Removal of uterus (and in some cases removal of ovaries and cervix)
- Myomectomy: Removal of fibroid tumors
- Sacrocolpopexy: Repair of pelvic prolapse
Da Vinci® Trained GYN Surgeons
Palmetto Health is Columbia's leader in caring for women, and the area's only provider offering da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgery. If you've been told you need a hysterectomy or myomectomy, visit one of our highly skilled robotic GYN surgeons to determine if you're a candidate for da Vinci® surgery.

There's a really good chance you've seen the amazing studded trench coats from Burberry's Spring 2011 line. I think it goes without saying they're pretty awesome:
Burberry.com, SS11 Runway Collection
Left to right:
Even if I had that pocket change laying around, I don't think I could ever bring myself to drop that much on one jacket. So what do I do? Make my own, of course. See how I did it, below:
I came across this trench coat-esque jacket a few months ago at TJ Maxx. It was $19.99 and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.
I have a huge stash of studs by default, but you can find studs all over the internet - my absolute favorite source for studs is Studs-and-Spikes.com ! They have a really awesome selection. You can also try Ebay or Etsy, or even take apart some old studded belts.
I used 3 different kinds of silver spike and cone studs; each of them had prongs that are meant to pierce through fabric, and bent in with pliers.
On each side of the sleeve's seam, I made 2 columns of studs - so 4 columns total - starting at the shoulders. I used round nose pliers to bend in the prongs. When all was said and done, there was a total of 16 rows; I made the first top half entirely of the bigger cone studs, while the second half consisted of two kinds of cone studs.
For the most part I eyeballed the placement of the studs, but I also used a ruler and a charcoal pencil for some more of the meticulous measuring between studs.
Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Go for it!

Now, researchers are exploring ways that your smartphone can improve mental health, too. By Allison T. McCann Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 5 PTSD Coach For veterans and service members, the stigma behind receiving mental health care is one of the biggest barriers for treatment. That was one of the main reasons that Julia Hoffman, a clinical psychologist at the Veterans Affairs National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), says she created PTSD Coach, a free app. When PTSD sufferers experience everyday symptoms such as intrusive thoughts or extreme anger, they can hit the "manage my stress" button. They then input what's wrong, their current state of emotion, and level of distress on a 0 to 10 scale. Based on this data, the app might respond with a relaxation exercise such as a preprogrammed music playlist that the users has found to relieve stress, or slideshow of positive images from the user's own phone. If their stress level rates at a 9 or 10, though, it might offer the user the number for a crisis management and support hotline. "We want to put choices about mental health into veterans' hands," Hoffman says.

Rich People: More Likely to Cheat?
Are the rich really different from the rest of us? A new research paper suggests the answer is yes, and not in a good way. A new research paper suggests that the upper class are more likely to cheat and behave unethically than lower-class individuals. Could the "one percent" really be cutting more corners?

What Are You Doing Now?
Quincy Deron Williams
Hello everyone, my name is Quincy Deron Williams and I am a native of Grenada Mississippi. I was borne on the 3rd of December 1976 at Grenada lake Hospital. My parents, who currently still live in the city limits of Grenada, are Woodrow and Viola Ratliff. My sister Renata, Nephew Lazarus and brother Tramarcus (G.B) all still reside in Grenada.
However, I currently live in Fredericksburg Virginia, where I am married to Amanda Sunshine Williams, who I also meet in Grenada Mississippi, and who is currently an up and coming book author. Amanda is currently getting ready to publish her first book called "Web of Destruction" which should be out sometime in September. I also have two daughters, Quinque (11) the gymnast and Jakiyah (11) the basketball star.
After spending a total of 10 years in the Military (Army) as a Military Police Officer I decided not to continue my services with the Army, and move on to do something different. I am now currently working in Washington D.C. our nation's capital at the Supreme Court of the United States. Here I currently work in the dignitary protection field (Secret Service). Here I serve as a Federal Police Agent in which I protect the Supreme Court judges and their families.
I am also a God fearing Christian, and my family and I attend church service at Unity Christian Fellowship International in Alexandria Virginia, where my pastor is Bishop Nelson K. Williams and First lady Lillian Williams. My wife and I are both licensed ministers here at (U.C.F.I.). I am also a praise and worship leader, and I sing in the choir as well as on the praise and worship team.
Being the music lover that I have been all my life, and after I had given my life over to Christ, I am now a songwriter and music producer. Currently I have just helped my church produce our very first gospel music CD project. The project came out late September of 2009. The group consists of the praise and worship team at my church (U.C.F.I), in which I am a member of. I am also responsible for writing 13 of the 15 songs on the CD. The group is called "United for a Purpose" and the CD is called "Sacrifice of Praise". We are currently signed to a gospel record label called Alliant records. The CD is currently being sold on the internet on ITunes and on CD Baby where you can review, purchase, and download a copy of the CD for yourself. I have also currently started up my own record Label called "Each One Reach Some Productions", in which I am now in the process of producing my first solo gospel music project, the group is called "UN-COMMON" and the CD will be called "Influential Anointing", the group is made up of me, and Minister Princess Atunrase. I am also the song writer and producer of this group as well. Be on the look out this September for the release of the "UN-COMMON" maxi single, which will consist of two songs, "It's the Anointing", and "Jehovah Soul-Jah".
As an Army Brat, I have had the luxury of traveling and living all around the world, so I have seen many different kinds of people and lived in many different kinds of places, and now that I am older (33) and have lived the big city life for some time now, I get excited and cherish the times when I can take a break from the hustle and hassles of the city life and go back home to Grenada Mississippi. A place that's not to fast and not to slow, a place where you can enjoy a small taste of the city life, but still enjoy the laid back atmosphere of a small town, a place where people say hello to you when passing in the street, and ask how you are doing and really mean it. A place where you can enjoy and actually see the changes of all four seasons, a place where you can see people truly honoring family life and traditions, A place where you can walk into a store and the person at the counter knows your name and may even know your parents too. A place where you can enjoy great dear hunting as well as grab your boat, rods, and reels, and go down to the famous Grenada lake and do some fishing for some huge bass, which is always stocked full of fish, and while you are there at the lake you can walk over and see the water racing out of the damn of Grenada Lake, or you can just chill out at the park on the lake and see all the Bar-B-Q's, festivals, and all the family reunions that are held there every year.
So as you can see, there are many great things that the City of Grenada has to offer, I just named a few, I am sure that that you will find many more once you've visited this great city. As a native of Grenada, I truly now understand the meaning behind that old saying "You never know what you are missing until it's gone". "Man, is it Thanksgiving yet"? See ya'll soon.

The cruellest month
Environmentalists come in all varieties, from those in suits working for corporations to those dedicated to attacking those corporations. They all tend to get tarred as doomsters but there are plenty of optimists among them.
'Are' or 'were'? The cause of planetary salvation has not had it easy since the credit crunch began. And here in the UK, October has proved to be the cruellest month… so far.
The plan to consult on an 80mph speed limit (ENDS Report 441, p 34) is the clearest case to date of the coalition government saying that cutting carbon is of secondary, or tertiary, importance. Never before has its Committee on Climate Change been told quite so clearly that on some things its views matter very little. (more…)

We'll hear from Rob Wu, founder of CauseVox, a platform helping nonprofits crowdsource funding online; Carter Gibson, founder of Little Big Fund, a nonprofit connecting donors to other nonprofits; and Bill Cesare, COO of Teespring, a company that allows you to crowdfund apparel.

It was very beneficial having a variety of restaurants and clothing stores in the area.
Location was great.
Checking in time, no parking provided
Clean, cool and a great location.
A dresser would be nice for an extended stay. But really... It was great.
This hotel is in the ideal location! Right in the heart of fashion district!! We got a queen room with a shared bathroom and it was awesome! The only thing I was kind of hesitant about was sharing a bathroom but every time I went to use the bathroom or the shower it was never occupied so it wasn't really an issue and it was much cheaper. However they didn't have toilet seat covers in there so you have to make your own with toilet paper. That is one thing I would change. Also when I say a shared queen room I was expecting a queen bed, however you get a full bed which is a bit misleading. All in all though it's a great place to stay. We went mid January and had our window open the entire time. The street noise is at an acceptable level and is kind of soothing to fall asleep to. It is litterally about 10 steps from the cable car stop and 1 block from the f-line to fishermans warf. It is also right next door to Walgreens where you can find pretty much anything you need. My only thoughts of improvement for the hotel would be to get an ice machine, install a toilet seat cover holder in the shared bathrooms, and label the rooms by bed size. All in all the price is worth the location!

Aware there was a shared bathroom, this would have been ok had the bathroom been clean - it wasn't. The toilet was blocked on one morning so we had to go to another floor. It would be better if there were at least sinks in the rooms and clean shared areas. Wifi was patchy. Staff weren't that helpful, the safe was broken for two days and we had to ask about 10 times to get it fixed. Overall wouldn't recommend.
location for my business & shopping.
no amenities, towels worned out
Cleaner than hoped Convenient to union square
Could still imagine what it once was.
Location is the best. Good value for the money.
None of the rooms have desks! I asked the people I was traveling with to confirm it wasn't just my room. The room I was in was big enough so this could easily be accomplished
- simple and comfortable room, just what I needed - great value for money (deep discounts in January)
- the room seem overheated and it was not obvious how to turn down the temperature
Bed was too soft for us, room is rather small, but clean, no drawers, but in total good value for money
We can here everything - even whisper of our neighbours
Location location location! We choose this hotel purely on the fact that it was right in the middle of town, but everything else about the Herbert was sensational. Clean tidy well renovated rooms, very helpful friendly staff, and a fresh quirky design. Will be rebooking here in the future.
the bed was comfy, the room was pretty clean. there was lots of space in the room for a sink so there's the opportunity for improvement.
I booked a simple budget room with a shared bathroom which, in the pictures, had a sink in it. Now when we arrived they gave us a room without a sink, and because I suspect many others did have their sinks in their bedroom, there was no sink area in the shared bathroom either. this meant having to brush teeth and wash face in the toiet sink which was too small even to wash your hands in.
Great location, clean, bright, with a European feel. On a week when most hotels were $400. and up $150. a night was a super deal.
Door way under construction.
The location is great. We had two different rooms (the first night a standard queen with private bathroom, followed by a 3-nights deluxe queen room with private bathroom). The difference is huge, like one would stay in two different hotels...
I had a booking in a deluxe room with private bathroom for 3 nights, and realised too late that we need to be in San Francisco earlier by one night. The hotel did not have anymore available deluxe rooms, therefore we booked for 1 night a standard queen room with private bathroom. Actually we received a "student single room with private bathroom", very small, not too clean and cold, as the heating was insufficient.
I stayed 3 nights in a deluxe queen room with private bathroom. The room was big and clean and had a lot of light, and the bed was very comfortable. Location is great, and the staff was kind.
The heating was not the best; the nights were cold outside, and the room's heating over night was not sufficient.

I bought this one because when you open the tin, it punches you in the face with delicious berry-candy aroma, and while that's not usually my thing, in this case it was just intoxicating.
I find that things flavored with blueberry are generally pretty gross, but I adore blackcurrant/cassis (they're the same thing, people) – and ultimately, the combination of the two added up to awesome. Once brewed, the cassis thankfully takes the lead in the flavor, with the blueberry remaining subtle and a background note. Unlike the face-slammingly intense smell, the flavor is well tempered. This is a blackcurrant tea with a blueberry tint. Blueberry fans would probably be disappointed, but I'm in it for the cassis.
It has a certain dryness to it, and is definitely not sweet, but the fruity flavor still comes through in spite of that, and it ends up working. I don't think I am going to be having this too frequently, as it's pretty distinctive and rich on the added flavor, but I'm definitely glad to have it in my collection.
As always, Lupicia means quality.

A mixed bag of daylilies today -- please pardon all the brown foliage in the photos.
LANA ISHEE is an outstanding orange (and a gift from a fellow GW member -- thank you!) JOIE DE VIVRE MARK ALAN CARPENTER has wonderful fragrance and huge blooms, although we'll have to wait to see about performance here: CHINESE CHARIOT is usually one of the last to bloom: RIBBIT RIBBIT, a new one from Judy Davisson: BETTER THAN EVER is still going strong: My apricot NOID -- any guesses? Scapes are about 30" with 3" blooms: |

No guesses but your apricote NO ID is really pretty. In fact all the blooms you posted are truely really pretty. CHINESE CHARIOT really appeals to me, a real standout and my favorite today. I also really, really like JOIE DE VIVRE. I like the soft look of the colors on it. |
The apricot NOID clump is very pretty. Ribbit Ribbit is a lovely lavender, and I like Chinese Chariot too. Debra |
Really like Chinese Chariot, Joie De Vivre, and the NOID clump, very pretty. Avedon |

As always, Chris, your photos and blooms are lovely. I like your NOID and Better Than Ever. I like the new Davisson, Ribbit Ribbit, but the Lana Ischee is my favorite...just love the brights and the oranges. kay |
No guesses here either. I have RIBBIT RIBBIT from Judy too. I like the JOIE DE VIVRE. Something about it looks so soft and feminine. Julia |
- Posted by waitforspring z6MA (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 21:35
I like Ribbit Ribbit Is that a very subtle chevron in the eye? Neat looking. Your NOID apricot is really pretty too and I like the bright colors on Lana Ishee. Val |
very pretty blooms today. I like them all, but my favorite one is CHINESE CHARIOT. that one really stands out.'' jean |
- Posted by mantis__oh z6 OH (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 21:51
I like the big yellow throat on Chinese Chariot. Surely, though, you aren't even at peak yet, are you? Joie de Vivre is nice, but for me, it is a leaner, and the weak scapes limit its value. |
- Posted by maximus7116 MI (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 23:37
Thanks, everyone. Chinese Chariot is a much brighter red than my camera picks up and my only complaint is that is such a low-growing plant. For those who like Ribbit Ribbit, you should check out Judy's photo of it. It's a more vibrant lavender than mine. I think the heat has sucked much of the color out of my daylilies. Mantis, I think I am at peak or past peak because of this crazy weather. I have whole beds that didn't bloom because of the lack of rainfall (and I don't water my daylilies, as you can see from the foliage). Joie de Vivre doesn't lean here, probably because it's also a low-grower. |
Chris, could your apricot noid be Peach Fairy. I have? or did have one that looks a lot like yours. I think there is still some of it in my back garden. I like the big blooms so small ones are overlooked in my gardens. |
- Posted by maximus7116 MI (My Page) on Tue, Jul 10, 12 at 8:19
I never buy small blooms, so I'm sure this was sent under a different name. This one is such a good performer that it gets to stay. I haven't seen you post any pics this year. Have any you care to share? |
Chris: What about STEALTH BOMBER? Has yours bloomed yet and your opinion on it this year? Thanks Julia |
I remember Peach Fairy being a good performer too. The drought has really hurt my daylilies this year. I had some nice blooms early but now I'm getting bud drop and small blooms. A few are trying to please me, daylilies are hard to stop. We had two inches of rain on June 16th which probably saved the year for me but hot, hot since then, over a 100 some days. It's cooler this week but the weatherman says the heat is coming back. I am going to cull out a few here and there and only keep my favorites. About 150 or more. LOL |
Lovely flowers! I like Joie de Vivre with its nice soft look, and yellow Mark Alan Carpenter, and Chinese Chariot, and Better than Ever! |
- Posted by maximus7116 MI (My Page) on Tue, Jul 10, 12 at 13:44
Thanks again! Julia, I had a few blooms from Stealth Bomber that weren't very impressive. I'll try to post a pic. I really need to move it, because it's under a tree and isn't getting enough water, I think. |
- Posted by Polymerous 9b (My Page) on Wed, Jul 11, 12 at 7:09
Your NOID reminds me a little of FULL MOON MAGIC, which is a good performer here. It is registered as a 3.5" flower on a 26" scape; the bloom seems to have a narrow wire gold (or is that gilt?) edge. It is tetraploid, midseason, and evergreen. |
- Posted by maximus7116 MI (My Page) on Wed, Jul 11, 12 at 7:22
Thanks for the suggestion, but I believe mine is a dormant with a smaller flower -- I'll check it out anyway. |

Cochrane Review Finds NPH Equal to Lantus and Levemir for type 2's
The Cochrane Library recently conducted a review of studies to see if NPH is as good as Lantus and Levemir when used as a basal insulin for people with type 2 diabetes. Six studies comparing insulin glargine (Lantus) to NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) were examined, as well as two studies comparing insulin detemir (Levemir) to NPH.
Duration of the studies, all of which were rated "low" in methodological quality, ranged from 24 to 52 weeks.
The folks at Cochrane concluded that Lantus and Levemir are almost identical to NPH in lowering A1c's, although Lantus and Levemir are associated with slightly fewer hypoglycemic episodes at night during sleep.

challenges began in the 1970's with cases like Baker v. Nelson, Jones v. Hallahan, and Singer v. Hara.
These challenges readily failed. The next serious legal challenge came in
1993 when the Hawaii Supreme Court, in Baehr v. Levin,
held that a state ban on same-sex marriage violated the equal protection
clause of the state's constitution if the state could not show a compelling
state interest. The state was unable to show a compelling interest after the
case was remanded to the trial court level. The trial judge declared the ban
unconstitutional and ordered the state to issue licenses. The order was
stayed pending appeal. During the appeals process, Hawaii voters approved a
state constitutional amendment in 1998, banning same-sex marriage. The Hawaii
Supreme Court dismissed Baehr
as moot. In 1994, a similar case arose in Alaska,
in which a judge held that the ban was unconstitutional on state grounds. THE VERMONT CHALLENGE:
In 2001, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that the
state's ban on same-sex marriage violated its state constitution. Rather than
order government officials to issue marriage licenses, the court gave the
Vermont legislature an opportunity to issue a remedy. The legislature
responded by enacting a civil unions statute, giving same-sex couples the
same benefits as married couples under state law, but not federal law. The
Vermont Supreme Court held that the civil union statute was sufficient for
state constitutional requirements. The statute does not require individuals
to be residents of Vermont in order to enter into a civil union. THE
Effective May 17, 2004, same-sex couples in Massachusetts were
permitted to marry pursuant to the Supreme Judicial Court's ruling in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health.
Prior to the decision's effective date, the Massachusetts Senate and House
met in a constitutional convention to consider overruling the Goodridge decision
with an amendment to the state constitution. An amendment passed, 105-92
permitting civil unions for same-sex couples, but not civil marriage. Before
the amendment is effective however, the Senate and House must convene again
in the 2005 legislative session and approve the amendment by a majority vote.
The amendment must then be ratified by the voters on the following state-wide
ballot. The earliest an anti-marriage amendment could be voted upon is 2006.
In an effort to prevent same-sex marriages, Massachusetts Governor
Mitt Romney invoked a seldom-used 1913 law barring out-of-state couples from
receiving marriage licenses. The 1913 law was originally intended to restrict
interracial marriages. THE GOODRIDGE
In order to circumvent the courts from invalidating the state or
federal DOMA laws under the federal constitution, Congress considered a federal constitutional
amendment to limit civil marriage to opposite-sex couples. In 2004, the U.S.
Senate debated the amendment but could not move forward on a vote. The House of Representatives failed to pass
the amendment by the required two-thirds vote.
Several city and town clerks around the
The backlash against the Goodridge
decision was more successful however, when voters in eleven states passed
constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage on ballot measures in the
November, 2004 elections.
The following table summarizes state marriage and civil union laws
throughout the fifty states as of April, 2005.

Last year I was watching a TV show hosted by Fiona Cairns, the lady who made the royal wedding cake, where she was teaching 2 other people (can't remember who) how to make roses from modelling chocolate. This is when I had that 'a-ha!' moment and realised the mistakes I had made first time around. I've tried to find a link to that episode but it doesn't help that I can't remember what else was in that episode or even when it was broadcast. However there are plenty of you tube videos online which demonstrate the technique. Once you've watched someone else do it, they're quite easy to make. I didn't manage to take detailed step by step photos of making the roses as I was concentrating quite hard on getting them to look right, a task that proved futile as they got a bit squished by the top of my cake tin by the time I got to the venue. But I do have a couple of photos that will hopefully give you some idea of how to make them.
For the cake I made a rose flavoured sponge filled with vanilla buttercream and covered in white sugarpaste. I was originally going to do a rose flavoured buttercream as well but after tasting the cake mix and getting my boyfriend's opinion as well I decided that it would have been too much rose. Turns out this was the right decision, not everyone who was at the CCC that night was a fan of rose, some thought it was quite subtle and enjoyed it but others found it overpowering, proof that you can't please everyone's tastebuds all the time.
For the cake:
230g caster sugar
230g butter
230g self raising flour
4 eggs
1 tsp rose extract - not rosewater
For the buttercream:
75g butter
200g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
red food colouring - I used Sugar Flair paste in Christmas Red
To decorate:
500g white sugarpaste/ready to roll icing
small amount of red sugarpaste approx 50g
- Preheat the oven to 180C and grease and line the bases of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins.
- In a mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Next add the rose extract and give the mix a quick stir before folding in the flour. Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 tins, if you want to be really precise you can weigh each tin to make sure the layers will be the same size. Make a slight dip in the centre of each cake to prevent it from peaking and then bake for around 25 minutes until the sponge bounces back when lightly pressed and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
- To make the buttercream, beat the butter until fluffy and then gradually beat in the icing sugar until you get a smooth icing. Mix in the vanilla extract and add a tiny bit of red food colouring until you get a pretty shade of pink. When the cake is cold fill with about half of the buttercream and then use the rest to cover the cake in a thin layer, this gives the sugarpaste something to stick to.
- To cover the cake put it onto a plate or cake board and then roll out the sugarpaste to about 5mm thickness, then carefully drape over the cake, gently smoothing out any air bubbles and then trim around the base to tidy it up. Don't worry if you get a few small cracks, these can be smoothed out by gently rubbing the icing. I found that rolling out the icing on a silicone mat was quite easy and avoided the need to cover the kitchen in icing sugar to prevent sticking. Otherwise a little bit of vegetable oil rubbed onto the worktop and rolling pin also works quite well and doesn't dry out the sugarpaste like icing sugar can.
- For the roses you will need petal cutters in graduated sizes and it also helps if you have a sugarpaste bone tool as well although it's not essential. Start by rolling a small piece of red sugarpaste into a cone then roll out the rest of the sugarpaste as thin as you can without breaking it and cut out 2 petals of each size to make each rosebud. So to make the 4 rosebuds for this cake you will need 8 petals of each size in total. Take the first smallest petal and rub around the edge with the bone tool or gently with your fingers to thin the edge, next wrap this petal around the tip of the cone so it is almost completely covered. Repeat with the second petal of the same size, wrapping around from the opposite side and pressing gently to join. Then repeat the process with the next size of petal and continue adding petals until you have a rosebud you are happy with. Trim the base of the cone and pinch the bottom of the rosebud before leaving on a plate to dry for a few hours. You can stick the rosebuds to the cake using a drop of water rubbed onto the icing. I hope this makes some kind of sense and that the pictures help, I am by no means an expert in this sort of thing and all I can say is that practice makes perfect! It doesn't take long to make these though, I think it took me about 20 minutes to make 4.

The friendly folks at Dad's Restaurant think of each other as family?and that kind of attitude shapes every diner's experience. A welcoming bright-red exterior beckons visitors inside, where the cooks prepare locally beloved breakfasts of fluffy belgian waffles topped with fruit and cool whipped cream, as well as custom three-egg omelets plated alongside home fries and toast. Dad's is also open for midday and afternoon meals of rib-eye sandwiches and stacked triple-decker clubs.
Like any dutiful American diner, Setauket Village Diner serves burgers and fries, coffee, and omelets as part of its vast nine-page menu, which could please every diner. But like any history book about empires, it also adds Greek and Italian to the mix. Steak gyros and kebabs of chicken or salmon represent the former, whereas pasta such as linguine marinara and and shrimp scampi topped with feta and mozzarella are highlights of the latter.
Chez Ben Diner serves everything you'd expect from a classic American diner—three-egg omelets, triple-decker club sandwiches, and burgers—with an unexpected twist: a selection of authentic French-Canadian dishes. Founded by Benoit and Solange Quirion, the restaurant recently passed to Windsor natives Joel and Anne Quirion who continue the family tradition of friendly service, all-day breakfast, and uniquely Canadian dishes, such as poutine, a combination of fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy. The emphasis on traditional Canadian eats hasn't gone unnoticed: the breakfast poutine earned a mention in Serious Eats, and Roadfood.com calls the cretons—a cold pork spread that can be served on toast or used as stucco on a gingerbread house—"addictive."
Before the kitchen uses them in rolls and bisques, hard-shell lobsters from northern Maine and Canada are stored in Brewster's Seafood Market's chilled tanks filled with saltwater pumped directly from Shinnecock Bay. They?re among the many locally caught, grown, and produced fish and shellfish available each day at the market, which stays stocked with tasty items such as tuna, mussels, and clams.
Over at the Brewster's restaurant, chefs take seafood right from the display counters and craft dine-in and takeout entrees such as oyster po' boys, linguini with clam sauce, and flounder stuffed with shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat. Along with an eatery and market, the facility accommodates an on-site smokehouse where a fishmonger smokes everything from eel to swordfish .
Former longtime waitress Brenda Tresk owns and operates Norm's, which serves a menu of delicious diner fare 24 hours a day. Breakfast maintains Most Important Meal and Best Smile titles with all-day dishes of kielbasa omelets ($9.49) and oven-cured biscuits draped in tasty sausage gravy ($4.89). Sweet servings of silver dollar pancakes ($3.11) or thick planks of texas french toast ($4.49) balance out savory plates, and lunches such as a pastrami Reuben sandwich with fries and coleslaw ($10.29) quell midday midsection rumbles. As guests dine on satisfying portions, Norm's Americana-infused space, filled with art-deco chrome accents and a resident jukebox, evokes misty memories of a simpler time when everyone wore leather jackets and no one spoke Russian.
