Has anyone used this, or even able to find it? It is on their website as a current offering, and as P&G dramatically changed/ruin my longtime Downy April Fresh Softener...I am on a mission to find something else. I can find the Suavitel in the blue and yellow bottles (way way too strong for me), but I thought the Powder Fresh (white bottle) might be softer, and closer to the classic April Fresh scent of Downy that I love & miss.
Thanks! |

Ohhhh...Powder Fresh sounds good. I just bought my first bottle of Ultra Suavitel, Field Flowers. But Powder Fresh sounds like it would be nice. I know what you mean about P&G changing Downy April Fresh. It no way smells the same anymore. I'm also looking for a new softener to replace Downy. It no longer smells, fresh. I mostly use softener for bed linens. |
I FOUND IT!!! I went into our local Vallarta Supermarket (small chain of full size markets, catering mostly to Hispanics..and they have some really great stuff..lots of Mexican detergents and softeners, beautiful produce, meats, breads and goodies). I bought 2 bottles bottles of Suavitel Baby Powder Fresh Softener. Large bottles, and very reasonably prices at $3.99 (40 loads). I will try it tomorrow. YOU MUST LOVE baby powder scents. It is quite strong. Not offensive, but it is for sure a bold baby powder smell...which happens to be one of my favourite smells! I even love my Mom's perfume, that's drydown is heavily scented of baby powder (Shalimar). |
Ok...I've done 3 loads now with this new Suavitel Baby Powder Fresh Softener, and I really like it- a lot! In the bottle, it does smell quite strong and a little "chemical-y", but after washing and drying the smell is very soft, faint and really wonderful. I also like that the bottle says dermatologist tested, and skin friendly! I do not think I like it better than my decades used and loved Downy April Fresh (now changed and ruined by P & G), but this Suavitel has a similar softness. There is not obvious fruity notes, or anything like Gain. My clothes and towels & sheets just smell soft and faintly of baby powder. It's actually really comforting! |

Aug 19th 2010 4:07PM While it is indeed naive to assume that a company's only motive in creating a game is "for fun," you should also realize that a company will only make money off their product if the game is fun in the first place. Making money and making a game fun are not mutually exclusive goals, and I'm always surprised when people assume that the presence of one automatically precludes the other.
If your game sucks, no one will buy it. If the game is fun, tons of people will buy it. That's as simple as I can imagine it being.

How do you tell when zucchini squash is ripe some of them are getting large and am wondering if it is ok to pick them when they are smaller?

I prefer the smaller zucchini over the large ones. The larger they get, the more seeds they get. I simply pick young, wash, chop, sautee and eat. I prefer to eat the skin and all. Kim |
- Posted by solanaceae (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 08 at 15:10
you can pick a 3" zucchini if you want. It just does not amount to much. 8" to 10" is perfect with a 2" diameter. They are prolific so there is no reason to let them become baseball bats for a pithy overgrown radish. |

Thanks for the replies, I picked 6 today all around 8" dipped in egg dropped them into bread crumbs and fried them up and boy were they good. my family couldn't stop eating them. Dale |
I try to grow enough plants so that I can pick them small (6 - 8") and still have plenty of zucchini. Looking forward to mine, along with the yellow crookneck squash. |

Linksys WAG320N review
Linksys's WAG320N is the first ADSL router we've seen to come with dual-band WiFi. It's not short of other features, either; it has a USB port that lets you share an external hard disk over your network and across the internet via FTP. It can also act as a UPnP media server.
Unusually for an ADSL router, the WAG320N has Gigabit Ethernet, which is great if you need a fast connection to move large files across your local network. The first Ethernet port can be reconfigured as a WAN port, making this router suitable for use with a cable modem. Linksys's similar WRT320N is £33 cheaper, though.
It's easy to set up and secure, thanks to a simple installer that even provides pre-configured settings for the UK's most popular ADSL providers. The web interface is also easy to use, despite the huge number of settings. There are the usual Quality of Service (QoS) options to prioritise bandwidth-sensitive internet traffic such as streaming video, a remote management interface so you can log into your router from anywhere and Dynamic DNS so you can give your network a URL that points to it even if your IP address changes. Advanced security settings allow you to block potentially risky content such as Java Applets and ActiveX controls and determine when and where specific computers on your network are allowed to go on the internet.
The WAG320N defaults to 802.11n wireless networking at 2.4GHz but can also be used at 5GHz. However, it has only a single wireless radio, so it can't use both bands simultaneously.
Although some wireless adaptors support 5GHz, the vast majority of devices - including all the laptops, wireless printers and WiFi-enabled smartphones we've seen - don't. This means that most users will have to stick with 2.4GHz, even if they buy 5GHz-compatible devices in the future.
Channel bonding is enabled by default to create a theoretical maximum throughput of 300Mbit/s, but this can cause performance problems, so we perform all our 2.4GHz throughput tests with channel bonding disabled. The WAG320N's performance in tests using a Centrino 2 laptop was remarkably consistent: 26Mbit/s at a distance of one metre is below par, but then it managed a respectable 20.3Mbit/s at 20m.
Linksys's own-brand WUSB600N USB adaptor (£28 incluing VAT) produced significantly faster speeds in most of our tests, although it managed just 15.8Mbit/s at 20m, despite our attempts to improve this by switching channels. It achieved excellent speeds in 5GHz mode, giving us 90.1Mbit/s in our 10m test, although this precludes the use of any 2.4GHz devices.
At £90, the WAG320N is a great buy if you'll use the USB storage server and Gigabit Ethernet. Even though it can transmit on only one band at a time, this isn't a disaster given the small number of 5GHz devices currently available.

M. Night Shyamalan's 'Wayward Pines': It's Definitely Not 'Twin Peaks,' Okay?
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on May 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentA government agent who appears without warning in a small, sleepy woodsy town in the middle of nowhere that's hiding much more than it seems? A town that's full of weirdos — both the harmless and the probably insane? And all of the action seems to take place around him hanging out in the local diner getting his next batch of information? It sounds familiar because it's Twin Peaks. But Wayward Pines, a new show from executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, is certainly trying its damndest to convince us that it's something completely different. Adapted from "Pines," the novel by Blake Crouch, the series will arrive on Fox in 2015 to hopefully cleanse the taste of After Earth. And The Last Airbender. And The Happening. And Lady in the Water. And from our mouths as Shyamalan's assurance that he can still produce something legitimately creepy and bizarre. Is this a comeback? Maybe, and rest assured that he knows that the premise of the series, which follows a Secret Service agent (Matt Dillon) waking up on the outskirts of a town in Idaho with no recollection of getting there — just a head injury taking care of deleting those memories — and finding himself dealing with a host of strange characters like a wacky nurse played by Queen of the crazies Melissa Leo, a spaced-out diner waitress (Juliette Lewis), a cop that doesn't really care (Terrence Howard) and a missing woman (Carla Gugino), mirrors David Lynch's beloved series greatly. "It struck me as having a Twin Peaks-y vibe," Shyamalan said, according to Indiewire. […]
'The Art of the Steal' Review: Kurt Russell and Whoever for Season Two of 'True Detective' Please
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 26, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf there's a more infectiously affable and charismatic actor than Kurt Russell then I don't know of him or her. Sure there are performers with more dramatic range, others that are more consistently hilarious, and still others who look better in women's clothing, but for my money none of them set me as instantly at ease as Russell. It's what makes his near six-year absence from movie screens (2011's little-seen Touchback aside) that much more frustrating. And it's what makes the new heist comedy, The Art of the Steal, that much more enjoyable. Crunch Calhoun (Russell) is one of the best wheelmen in the business, but when his latest score goes bad he winds up serving hard time in a Polish jail. It's not that he got caught, it's that his brother Nicky (Matt Dillon) sold him out to save his own butt. A few years later Crunch is a free man, breaking bones and bruising his body as an Evil Knievel knock-off taking dives for $800 a crash. His old team reassembles for a new heist, and while he's no believer in the idea of "one last big score" he signs on hoping to make enough to retire.
6 Scenes We Love From the Underrated 'Rumble Fish'
Features By Jack Giroux on October 6, 2013 | Comments (2)Francis Ford Coppola's Rumble Fish is turning 30 years old this Monday. While its theatrical release was October 21, 1983, the film made its debut at the New York Film Festival earlier in the month, on the 7th. Since then, it has taken on more of a cult status rather than joining the classic ranks of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. That's a pity, because it's arguably as good as Coppola's most well-respected hits. The teen angst picture stars Matt Dillon as a kid trying to live up to the reputation of his brother, "The Motorcycle Boy" (Mickey Rourke). And it has always been a favorite of mine. In fact, the sole poster framed in my apartment is a one-sheet from the film. It's just that great. At the time, it was Coppola's most experimental movie. It's a bizarre trip into this hellish place where everything is soaked in dread and smoke. The only place a man can find some calm is a diner run by Tom Waits. When you have to find refuge with Tom Waits, then you know you're in trouble. It's a rough picture, especially compared to Coppola's other, more sentimental (and in color, more accessible) S.E. Hinton adaptation about troubled kids from the same year: The Outsiders. Out of the two, the slightly earlier film is the one that garnered more accolades, but in my book Rumble Fish is the superior movie. Narrowing the film down to six scenes was tough, because every scene in the film is enjoyable in its own right. Diane Lane, Chris Penn, Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper, […]
With a Name Like 'Sunlight Jr.,' Of Course This Trailer's Bleak
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on September 25, 2013 | Comments (1)With Diana premiering to less-than stellar reviews in the UK, it's perhaps kindest for us to focus on another Naomi Watts project hitting theaters just two weeks after its release in the United States – smooth move, Watts. In the Laurie Collyer (Sherrybaby) drama Sunlight Jr., Watts plays a convenience store clerk working tirelessly to support herself and her disabled partner (Matt Dillon). When she becomes pregnant, their joy is clouded by the realization that they barely have enough money to take care of themselves. Add the sudden appearance of her stalker ex-boyfriend (Norman Reedus), and everything has gone to hell. The difference between this trailer and Diana (that makes all the difference) is that you get taken in by Watts' problems and emotional breakdown. Her story seems all too real and miserable. However, our own Caitlin Hughes reviewed the film at Tribeca and wasn't too convinced, saying that the depiction of the lower class was bordering on "stereotypical." Check out the trailer here:
'The Art of the Steal' Trailer Introduces You to Kurt Russell and His Team of Goofball Thieves
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 5, 2013 | Comments (1)It's likely that all you need to know to be sold on writer/director Jonathan Sobol's new film, The Art of the Steal, is that it stars Kurt Russell as a low-rent, karate-chopping motorcycle daredevil who sometimes uses his motorcycle skills to be the wheelman during high stakes heists. So, sort of like Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines, only hopefully we'll get to watch the ridiculous motorcycle stuff for the whole movie this time. See? Everyone is sold already, and Russell isn't even the only thing this movie has going for it. As much fun as he is to watch when he's playing ridiculous characters like this, The Art of the Steal also gives you other fun stuff to look forward to, like Goon and This is the End star Jay Baruchel playing his awkward son, Matt Dillon playing his sleazy brother, Terence Stamp being all piercing and Terence Stampy, and a whole lot of jokes, fights, and heist film silliness to boot.

'Girl Most Likely' Trailer: Can Kristen Wiig Pull This Off?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 2, 2013 | Be the First To CommentKristen Wiig is one of those one in a million comic talents. She doesn't have to do anything funny, she just is funny. Even if you were to stare at her just sitting still and not really doing anything, it's unlikely you'd be able to last for more than a few seconds without cracking a smile. We'll call it the Chris Farley effect, and it's the sort of thing that allows her to effortlessly elevate the material she's delivering to heights it likely wouldn't reach if handled by anyone else. But can even a talent on the level of a Kristen Wiig help make the material that this trailer for her new film, Girl Most Likely, is serving up go down any smoother?
Tribeca 2013 Review: 'Sunlight Jr.' Shines With Great Performances and Cinematography
Movie Reviews By Caitlin Hughes on April 24, 2013 | Be the First To CommentMost women who become pregnant with the man they're deeply in love with would see it as a joyous experience. In Laurie Collyer's (Sherrybaby) Sunlight Jr., Melissa (Naomi Watts) certainly is deeply in love with her boyfriend Richie (Matt Dillon) when she discovers that she is expecting a baby, and is initially excited about the entire prospect of being a mother. Though when the reality sets in that she and Richie barely make enough money to get by living in a dank motel room, in addition to a bevy of other problems, a dark cloud rolls in over the otherwise happy news of pregnancy. Collyer's film features great performances from Watts and Dillon, and the film's cinematography is a standout, though it suffers somewhat from perhaps an overly literal depiction of the lower class.
Oh, Why Not: Brett Ratner to Produce 'Flamingo Kid' Remake
In Development By Kate Erbland on September 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAt a certain point in the Hollywood remake game, you just have to throw up your hands and say, "sure, why not, let's just remake anything!" And that seems to be what might have transpired in Brett Ratner's mind, because the filmmaker is now set to produce a remake of Garry Marshall's The Flamingo Kid. See? Sure! Why not? Okay! Deadline Hollywood reports (via The Playlist) that Ratner will produce the film (through his Rat Pictures) alongside Walt Disney Pictures. And, while a remake like this certainly feels strange, this new film will also have a familiar face on board – veteran producer Michael Phillips, who also produced the original, Matt Dillon-starring production. Hey, look at that! Maybe this idea isn't insane! Additionally, music video director (and For Colored Girls scribe) Nzingha Stewart will pen the script.
Does 'What About Bob?' Really Play the Unwanted Visitor Angle Better Than 'You, Me and Dupree?'
Features By Nathan Adams on April 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThough Frank Oz hasn't meant much as a director in recent years, once upon a time he was a pretty successful go to guy. And his 1991 comedy, What About Bob?, is considered by many to be a modern comedy classic. His tale of an obsessive compulsive, overly dependent nut job and his doormat therapist going on vacation together is the sort of movie that friends constantly quote amongst one another, that fans revisit year after year. Is it really that great a comedy though, or is it more the case of a solid film getting propped up to mythic status due to the cult of Bill Murray deifying anything the sad-faced actor touches? On the flip side, You, Me and Dupree came and went in 2006 without much notice from the public, but not without earning some pretty damning reviews from critics and a decent amount of derision from Internet pundits. This comedy about a newlywed getting stuck with the task of taking in his wayward, eccentric best friend got called words like "lazy," "tired," and "obvious" in the film press. Whether it was due to the overexposure of Seth Rogen and Owen Wilson, who were each putting out about ten movies a year at this point, or the inclusion of Kate Hudson, whose name slotted in as the female lead is usually poison for comedies, people really responded to this one negatively. But is it really that bad, or was its release just a case of wrong movie, […]
'Freaky Deaky' Loses Its Entire Cast, Gains Crispin Glover
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 19, 2011 | Comments (1)Charles Matthau's upcoming adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel Freaky Deaky was all set to be a star studded, A-list affair. First, it scooped up William H, Macy in a starring role. Solid, sturdy, that's a good choice. Then it began filling out the ranks of its cast with big names put in supporting roles. Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Craig Robinson, they were all on board, and it was looking like this could end up being a big hit like one of Leonard's other page to screen adaptations, Get Shorty. But then, suddenly, the entire cast dropped out of the pic and were recast with names that are more, uh… B-list. Uh-oh, that can't be a good sign.
Elmore Leonard Adaptation 'Freaky Deaky' Adds Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, and Craig Robinson
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 4, 2011 | Be the First To CommentCharles Matthau's big screen adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel Freaky Deaky has been hiring actors right and left to fill out some of its bigger roles. Being a Leonard novel, I'm sure you can imagine the complexity of the plot, and the amount of roles that need to be filled, so it's encouraging that Matthau and his casting crew seems to be off to a good start. We already knew that everybody's favorite actor William H. Macy has signed on to play a drunken, irresponsible movie mogul, and that saucy young dish Camilla Belle is attached to do something as well, but today there's a trio of casting announcements that really put what this project is going to end up looking like in better perspective. The film's plot involves two former political activists and bomb experts who intend to use their pyrotechnic expertise to intimidate and trick Macy's character out of millions of dollars. One of the activists, Skip Gibbs, we now know will be played by Brendan Fraser. Matt Dillon has signed on to play Chris Mankowski, a bomb squad officer who stumbles on Fraser and company's plot and therefore gets sucked into the whirlwind of nonsense that is an Elmore Leonard story. And lastly, Craig Robinson has been hired to play Donnell Lewis, a former Black Panther who has become the assistant to Macy's character due to a newfound love of capitalism. All of these actors have their strengths, and it sounds to me like the roles […]
Mike Figgis Invites Christina Hendricks For 'Seconds of Pleasure'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 15, 2011 | Comments (5)You know Mike Figgis. He's that guy who directed Leaving Las Vegas and then, uh… some other stuff. I'm 90% certain Time Code was his next one, but then I must have stopped paying attention to him after that. Probably he did something important that's slipping my mind and I'm really going to hear it in the comments. Regardless, he's got a new movie on tap and he's taking advantage of the Mad Men hiatus to have Christina Hendricks star in it. Whether she's been running a 60s era ad agency in a parade of period costumes or grifting Captain Mal Reynolds and the crew of Serenity, I've absolutely loved everything that I've seen Christina Hendricks in, and I'm thrilled to see her get a big role in a feature. Whenever somebody writes a piece on Hendricks, it's usually got something to do with her boom-booms and what she's doing for the perception of women or whatever, but blah blah blah, who cares? This girl can act, why don't we talk about that instead?
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: August 27, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on August 27, 2010 | Comments (2)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr puts on his preachin' suit and heads out to the multiplex to exorcise the demons of bad movies. Sadly, this won't be the last exorcism of this kind because January and February are just around the corner. In the wake of the money grab re-release of Avatar: The Big Blue Sex Scene Edition, Kevin takes aim at Takers and The Last Exorcism.
Takers assembles a motley crew of handsome men, decks them out in stylish suits and top hats, adds a dollop of crime, and shoots for the moon – literally (yes, a character points his fingers at the moon and fires). Director John Luessenhop wants to craft an eloquent, pseudo-vintage crime drama out of mundane clichés. With just enough of an aesthete's vision, a robust collection of photogenic actors (including the ridiculously beautiful Zoe Saldana), an R&B infused soundtrack, and some exciting, upper class heist action, he mostly fulfills that ambition. There's not much more to be expected from a late summer picture likely to be all but forgotten come the start of the fall movie season next week. With expectations naturally diminished, it's possible to sit through Takers, enjoy the scenery and have a good time, even if Luessenhop's thriller often adopts the "too cool for school" affectations of a meticulously blocked advertisement.
Supposedly, Francis Ford Coppola made his final masterwork with Apocalypse Now. Then how do you explain this little slice of thug heaven?

DNA Activity
Name: Sara Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Is DNA an anion or a cation? I thought since it was negatively charged it was an anion but mt teacher in class today said it was a cation because negatively charged molecules logically migrate to the positively charged plate of the cathode, ie molecules that migrate towards a cathode are cations. Where is the error in my logic or there error in my logic?
DNA is negatively charged due to the phosphate ions present in the ribose-phosphate backbone. It moves towards the positive pole during electrophoresis.
The definition kation/anion is confusing because:
1. a cation moves to the cathode
2. the cathode is negative, thus
3. a cation is positive
DNA is an anion.
The confusion is that a cathode is negative, but a cation is positively charged. For that reason these terms are not generally used in this context.
Dr. T. Wassenaar
The cathode is called that because it attracts positive ions (or cations) therefore it is negatively charged. I hate to contradict your teacher but it is a common misconception. If you go to a college level chemistry book this will be confirmed. So therefore you are correct, because of the phosphate groups in the backbone of the DNA molecule it has an overall negative charge and will migrate toward the positive electrode which is the anode.
K. Van Hoeck
negative charge = anion
positive charge = cation
anode = electrode taking in electrons
cathode = electrode giving off electrons
So your teacher had the right derivation of the names anion and cation, but the wrong final answer. Molecules that migrate toward the cathode are cations, but the cathode has a negative potential. "Cathode rays," the particles given off by a cathode, are electrons.

Carotid Artery Stenosis
Pronounced: kah-rah-tid ar-tur-ree steh-noh-sis
En Español (Spanish Version)Carotid artery stenosis occurs when the carotid arteries narrow. The carotid arteries are major arteries found on each side of the neck. They supply blood from the heart to the brain.
This condition is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke is when blood flow to the brain is blocked due to blood clots. Carotid artery stenosis is a potentially serious condition that requires care from your doctor.
Blood Supply to the Brain
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Carotid artery stenosis is caused by the build-up of plaque along the lining of the arteries. This build-up is known as atherosclerosis. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, and other substances.

The Guernsey arts and literature scene is vibrant and flourishing. Along with well-known Guernsey painter Peter Le Vasseur, young modern painters, including Pete Hawkins, are making their mark both in and outside of the island.
A local community of creatively-minded independent producers have established themselves in the island and their pottery and toys, jewellery, prints and paintings are available in various retail outlets around the island.
Guernsey's coastline has not only inspired visiting artists, but produced much home-grown talent of its own.
During his month-long visit to the island in the late summer of 1883, French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir created some of the most valuable and recognisable paintings of the island's south coast cliffs and bays. One of his series of paintings depicting Moulin Huet hangs in the National Gallery in the London.
Arguably the most famous local painter was Peter Le Lievre whose watercolours of St Peter Port and the harbour are a fascinating record of a bygone age.
These works by both those who lived in the islands or who simply visited and fell in love, are an invaluable record of the island's changing landscape.
Peter Le Lievre (1812-1878) was born and educated in Guernsey. Among the first pupils at Elizabeth College in its present buildings, he later became one of its directors. A wine-merchant by trade, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Guernsey Militia Artillery. He was also a churchwarden, a founder of the Mechanics Institution, and a member of States Committees, but he twice unsuccessfully stood for the position of Jurat. A geologist and naturalist, he designed the two lighthouses at the end of the Castle breakwater and St. Julian's pier.
He never exhibited in London, which explains why his work is the island's best kept secret, but his paintings, including sea-scape, townscape, landscape and portraiture, matched by skill in a variety of techniques meant he could perfectly capture the mood of the island at the time.
William John Caparne (1856-1940) Born in Nottinghamshire, he studied at the Slade School in London before moving on to Paris. Appointed art master to Oundle School in 1880, he also began to grow bulbs and seeds. After the death of his wife in 1894 he left Oundle and eventually settled in Guernsey, setting up as a grower specialising in irises. He was to receive many awards for his work with irises, and his watercolour flower studies are an important historical record.
Caparne also constantly painted landscapes, mainly in watercolours, for his own pleasure, rarely parting with any of his pictures. Occasionally he painted in Europe where he met members of the Impressionist movement, including Monet, with whom he had much in common. Sadly he lost his sight towards the end of his life but his work lives on as a memento of his life in the islands.
Ethel Cheeswright (1874-1977) The Ladies College pupil went on to study art before moving to Sark in 1892. Throughout her long life she displayed obvious determination and self-assurance. Deeply religious, she was an ardent worker for the Mission For Deep Sea Fishermen and her respect for those who risked their lives at sea shows in a number of her paintings. She loved fishing and described her joy and exhilaration 'to have sailed close-reefed in a stiff breeze with the mackerel lines astern, or hauled up lobster pots from the mysterious depths of the water-world, or to have steered through the foaming tide-race of Les Burons or dared the perilous passage of the Guillot, thrilling as the boat leapt forward on the crest of a the green rushing seas like a thing alive'.
Deported by the Germans during the Occupation in 1943, she continued to paint though ill-health and pain. Visits outside the internment camp were arranged by a kindly Red Cross nurse. She was repatriated in 1944 and after the war she returned to Sark, continuing to paint though nearly blind and having to use double-lensed spectacles. When asked on her 101st birthday how she felt, she replied: 'excruciatingly bored'.
Paul Naftel (1817-1891) He had no interest in the family clock-making business and always wanted to be an artist. Self-taught, a Quaker, he persisted in his ambition by giving lessons and finally, at the age of 30, became 'professor of drawing' at local private boys school, Elizabeth College. He stayed there for 20 years before moving to London in 1870.
He exhibited widely, as did his second wife and his daughter Maud. She studied at Slade School, London, but died before her father. Naftel became an Associate of the Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1850 and was elected a Member in 1854. Between 1850 and 1889 he exhibited over 500 works, landscapes not only of Guernsey and its neighbouring islands, but also of England and Europe.
William Toplis (1857-1942) Toplis was already an established artist when he arrived in Sark for a holiday in 1883. He never left again, finding a lifetime's inspiration around him. A true 'plein air' painter he portrayed the rocky cliffs of Sark in fastidious detail. He suffered much privation and even poverty and was often in dispute with the Sark authorities. Nevertheless he regularly sent work for the Royal Academy, and in 1907 had two pieces accepted. He is best known for his prints in 'The Book of Sark' published in 1907.
William Lionel Wyllie RA, RI, RE (1851-1931) Painter in oils and watercolour and etcher of marine and coastal subjects. Wyllie was arguably the most important marine painter of his age. He studied in London at Heatherley's and the Royal Academy Schools where he won the Turner Gold Medal in 1869. His paintings, especially scenes of the Thames and the British fleet, became very well known through reproductions and engravings. During the last 25 years of his life he concentrated mainly on Naval and historical painting, often on a large scale, and on mastering the technique of etching. His charming and sensitive watercolours are usually of the coast of Northern France and occasionally of the Channel Islands. He exhibited frequently in London at the Royal Academy, Society of British Artists, New Watercolour Society, Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere.
Peter Le Vasseur is arguable Guernsey's best-known contemporary painter.
British Royalty to Hollywood royalty own work painted by Guernsey artist Peter Le Vasseur.
Peter was born in Guernsey in 1938. He and his parents were forced to flee the island prior to the German occupation during WWII.
Aged just 13, he won a scholarship to Harrow Art College in 1951.
In 1963 he held his first exhibition at the Portal Gallery in Mayfair, London - it was a sell-out. This first show led to a further five one-man shows at this gallery over the next 10 years.
Peter Le Vasseur's paintings depict strong images, often linked to environmental themes, and characterised by their intricate level of detail.
HRH Princess Anne and actress Ava Gardner are among his famous fans. During the 1960s, Le Vasseur sold paintings to the Beatles, film stars Rod Steiger and Jerry Lewis, and many other well known people, including the Duke of Bedford and Lord Porchester.
He had a painting in the book 'The Beatles illustrated lyrics', which sold three and a half million copies. Fellow contributors to the book were David Hockney, Allen Jones, Erté, David Bailey, and Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.
In 1969 David Puttnam (now Lord Puttnam) acquired a commission for Peter to produce a series of paintings for The Sunday Times and the National Film Archive, entitled 'The History of Cinema'. In 1971 this won an award for the Sunday Times.
In 1975 Peter returned to live in Guernsey with his wife Linda, the Reverend at Forest Church.
In the past four decades he has gained international recognition. He has held exhibitions in Europe, the Middle East and the United States of America.
In 1993 he was the first artist to win an Earthwatch Scientific Foundation Fellowship, which enabled him to document the flora and fauna of the fast disappearing rain forests of South America. He has also travelled widely in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
Each year Peter illustrates a children's book written by his wife. Proceeds from the book go to a local charity and there is an exhibition of the original paintings, which are for sale.

Ditsy Chick is a bespoke print company owned by Sarah-Jane and Tim Langlois.
It all started when their children were born. They wanted to find ways to capture and treasure those memories that were too special to be filed away in a baby book.
Sarah-Jane said she loved making colourful pieces of art that said something about her life and her family - and wanted to do the same for others.
'Everyone has their own unique story to tell and we love designing pieces that reflect those special qualities,' she said.
From family names and special places to favourite foods and holiday memories - everything is encapsulated in a beautiful, and very personal, piece of artwork.
The collection includes ready-made prints, which can also be personalised, as well as completely bespoke pieces.
'Our love of all things bright and colourful, mixed with a twist of uniqueness and enormous amounts of fun is the essence of Ditsy Chick,' said Sarah-Jane.
Claire Gaudion is one of only a handful of crafts people in the Channel Islands keeping one local traditional alive.
Guernsey fishing baskets, known as 'Pannier a Cou', have been used by generations of local fishermen to collect ormers, chancre and Spider crabs, and other shellfish.
While they are still used to gather shellfish from the island's shoreline, they are also bought as beautiful hand-crafted objects to be used in, or simply decorate the home.
Claire trained in Guernsey's willow basketry tradition at the Viaer Marche - Guernsey's old market held annually on the first Monday of each July - with her dad, Max. He was taught by his uncle and grandfather. Each basket is hand crafted individually in Black Maul Willow, sourced from Somerset, UK.
Lovelypop gifts are the creation of Guernsey crafter Hannah Godwin.
Her love of fabric combined with a desire to reuse and refashion vintage and recycled materials inspired her totally unique range of toys.
Stripy jersey fabrics are used for dolls legs, spots and flowers for dresses, fleeces for cuddly bunnies and felts for accessories. Buttons, ribbons and sequins are all added to make each piece extra special, from pirates and ballerinas to bunnies and kittens.
Hannah also breathes new life into precious old blankets and treasured baby clothes that would otherwise have been packed away in a box in the loft.
All items can also be personalised with a name and date.
For a quirky and contemporary reminder of your holiday pick up a unique piece of Round Chimney Pottery.
The collection features original one-off pieces of hand-glazed pottery which have a very local twist. Guernsey resident Katie Cummins set up the pottery in 2009. She began decorating white earthenware jugs, plates, mugs and bowls and the occasional clay sculpture.
All pieces are decorated with original designs - many inspired by all things 'Guern', including donkeys, cows and our famous ormers.
There are also Guernsey Boy and Guernsey Girl donkey mugs, and those with 'gone ormering' and 'pushang'(Guernsey reference to a bicycle)
Katie decorates, hand-dips and fires each piece.
The range now includes sweet jars and cake plates, egg cups and dog bowls and Katie also takes commissions.
As with all lovingly-made gifts, each unique piece takes longer to create than mass-produced item. They may take a little longer but the wow factor is worth the wait - especially if they are a gift.

The Bailiwick of Guernsey has inspired writers for centuries and resulted in literary classics that have a very distinct island flavour.
Guernsey resident, French writer Victor Hugo wrote arguably one of his best works while living in the island.
'Toilers of the Sea', set in Guernsey and the Bailiwick waters, is about a man who must free a ship that has gone aground. In return he will win the hand of the ship owner's beautiful daughter. Victor Hugo spent 15 years in Guernsey and was captivated by its coastal waters.
A little known literary fact is that Compton Mackenzie, the famous author of 'Whisky Galore' was tenant of Herm Island between 1920 and 1923. He also used the islands as the setting for his book 'Fairy Gold'.
The pre-Raphaelite poet Algernon Charles Swinburne wrote about the life of a lighthouse keeper's daughter who left Le Casquets in search of a husband only to return again to escape the hustle and bustle of 19th century Alderney.
Most recently Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows have had success with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book set in post-war Guernsey following the German occupation of the Island (1940 - 45). The book was so successful that film rights have been bought with plans for a film in the making and talk of scenes being filmed in the island.

A blog about politics and issues with Kathleen McKinley.
Monthly Archive for March, 2010
Enough Already!
Well, the all out false narrative assault is on. Democrats and the media are determined to paint Republicans as either racist (they just can't manage to find proof of it) and/or "violent." The latest hysterical whining comes from Paul Krugman at the NYT. It seems Sarah Palin posted a map of the United States with […]

A Great Man Dies
Martin Luther King Jr once said, "Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?" Once in a great while we get to see that question answered by the inspirational story of others. In 1988 I had two small babies and I don't think I saw hardly any movies for years during that […]

I am happy to write a blog post in FAVOR of something Pres. Obama is doing. I don't think this has happened since Obama kept most of the provisions of the Patriot Act including warrantless wiretapping and rendition, AND when he kept most of Pres. Bush's National Security team. Pres. Obama will announce this week […]

RNC Chair Michael Steele Needs To Go
When I first saw the story on The Daily Caller about RNC money being used at a "bondage themed club," my first thought was, "what the hell is a bondage themed club?" Yeah. I guess I don't get out much. I held off writing about it because the first stories seemed to suggest that RNC […]

I know I'm always asking you guys to "imagine" things. But it really is the only way to get some perspective on issues. Today I want you to imagine that we have walked through the looking glass and entered an America where the theatre, art, and entertainment world is completely anti-gay. Now, you and I, […]

Chelsea's Prenup
"The Week" (the printed version) reports that Chelsea Clinton's fiance, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, has agreed to pay $10 million if he ever cheats on her. The report says that Chelsea was so traumatized by her father's serial adultery that she insisted on the infidelity penalty in the prenup. I don't know which is more […]

Big Brother Is Here
Imagine if during the beginning of the Iraq war, several American companies came out against the war publically, explaining how they believed too many soldiers lives would be lost, and the cost of the war would affect their businesses. Then imagine that the Republicans immediately demanded that the top executives of these companies come to […]

Shame On Colbert I. King
Ok, ok. I get it. The Democrats are trying to paint the Tea Partiers as rascists. Just like they tried to paint Fox News as "not a real news organization." The White House said they weren't going to go on Fox News, but had to give in when it was clear so many more people […]

Gut Check
Castro is thrilled with the passage of our health care bill. Does anything else really need to be said? When communist dictators are thrilled with U.S. legislation, we all should do a gut check. On an unrelated note, Obama has inspired black conservatives to run for office , and I could not be more thrilled […]

Chapter13: Current Liabilities and Contingencies
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued Interest Payable
Salaries, Commissions, and Bonuses Compensation for employee services can be in the form of hourly wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, stock compensation plans, or pensions.11 Accrued liabilities arise in connection with compensation expense when employee services have been performed as of a financial statement date, but employees have yet to be paid. These accrued expenses/accrued liabilities are recorded by adjusting entries at the end of the reporting period, prior to preparing financial statements. VACATIONS, SICK DAYS, AND OTHER PAID FUTURE ABSENCES. Suppose a firm grants two weeks of paid vacation each year to nonsalaried employees. Some take their vacations during the year earned and are compensated then. Some wait. Is the compensation an expense during the year for only those who actually are paid that year for their absence? When you recall what you've learned about accrual accounting, you probably conclude otherwise. An employer should accrue an expense and the related liability for employees' compensation for future absences (such as vacation pay) if the obligation meets all of the four conditions listed in Graphic 13-5. GRAPHIC 13-5 Conditions for Accrual of Paid Future Absences
If these conditions look familiar, it's because they are simply the characteristics of a liability we discussed earlier, adapted to relate to a potential obligation for future absences of employees. Also, these conditions are consistent with the requirement that we accrue loss contingencies only when the obligation is both (a) probable and (b) can be reasonably estimated, as discussed in Part B of this chapter. p. 699The liability for paid absences usually is accrued at the existing wage rate rather than at a rate estimated to be in effect when absences occur.12 So, if wage rates have risen, the difference between the accrual and the amount paid increases compensation expense that year. This situation is demonstrated in Illustration 13-2, in which vacation time carried over from 2011 is taken in 2012 and the actual amount paid to employees is $5,700,000:
Custom and practice also influence whether unused rights to paid absences expire or can be carried forward. Obviously, if rights vest (payable even if employment is terminated) they haven't expired. But holiday time, military leave, maternity leave, and jury time typically do not accumulate if unused, so a liability for those benefits usually is not accrued. On the other hand, if it's customary that a particular paid absence, say holiday time, can be carried forward—if employees work on holidays, in this case—a liability is accrued if it's probable that employees will be compensated in a future year.
11We discuss pensions in and share-based compensation plans in . 12Actually, FASB ASC 710–10–25: Compensation–General–Overall–Recognition (previously SFAS 43, "Accounting for Compensated Absences") is silent on how the liability should be measured. In practice, most companies accrue at the current rate because it avoids estimates and usually produces a lower expense and liability. Then, later, they remeasure periodically at updated rates. 13C.

Which languages does the World Bank use in its documents ?
Answer provided by Legal Vice Presidency Counsel.
In 1959, Aron Broches, General Counsel of the World Bank, wrote the following regarding the status of the agreements made by the Bank with member governments:
"(...) the Bank and the State which is a member of the Bank, are both subjects of international law and possess treaty-making capacity and since, even if the treaty-making capacity of the Bank is not unlimited, it must certainly extend to the loan and guarantee agreements which the Bank enters into in the course of carrying out what is probably its most important constitutional task."
The article continues by explaining the discussion around Article 102 of the U.N. Charter relating to the registration of every treaty and every international agreement. After this, the author reached the conclusion that the loan and guarantee agreements of the Bank are international agreements: "(...) the Bank's loan and guarantee agreements with its members are international agreements governed by international law. The steps by which I reached this conclusion were that the Bank is a subject of international law, that has treaty-making capacity, that capacity extends to the conclusion of loan and guarantee agreements and, finally, that the Bank's loan and guarantee agreements with its members are concluded in the exercise of that capacity and are intended to be, and are, governed by international law. Because of their character as international agreements, loan and guarantee agreements made between the Bank and those of its members which are also members of the United Nations are registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations in accordance with the provisions of Article 102 of the U.N. Charter and the Regulations issued thereunder. Article 102 calls for the registration of 'every treaty and every international agreement' made by members of the United Nations. Loan and guarantee agreements concluded with members of the Bank which are not members of the United Nations are submitted to the Secretariat for filing and recording pursuant to Article 10 of the Regulations."
For further information, here is the full reference of this article : "International Legal Aspects of the Operations of the World Bank", published in " Hague: Academie de droit international: Receuil des cours", 1959, III, p.297-409.
The IBRD Operational Manual sets out the rules for Bank financing and IFC posts an Exclusion List.
From the Translation Framework for the World Bank: Progress in Implementation paper. For more information see the Access to Information site: http://www.worldbank.org/wbaccess.
The original English version remains the sole official version of the document. Any translations of documents are provided as an assist to users but are not marked as the official translation.
The World Bank, legally known as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, is a public international organization created by sovereign member nations. The Bank's Articles of Agreement are accepted by each of its members upon membership. Under the Bank's Articles, the Bank makes loans to member countries or to entities in member countries, with the guarantee of the member. Each of the agreements providing for such loans are governed by the Bank's General Conditions Applicable to Loans and Guarantees. The General Conditions provide, with respect to enforceability, that the rights and obligations of the Bank under such agreements shall be valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the law of any State or political subdivision thereof to the contrary. The General Conditions also provide for arbitration in event of a dispute.
Questions of sovereign immunity that would apply to a domestic financial institution are not relevant to the Bank's enforcement of its lending agreements.
Legal Agreements (loan agreements) are currently stored in the Documents & Reports database. For assistance in locating specific World Bank documents please see the Access to Information site: http://www.worldbank.org/wbaccess
