AZ, Costumeczar, and Brandibaked are the only ones making sense here. Clearly this is not what the client ordered. It is the job of the decorator to know what he/she can do in a reasonable time frame with the equipment at hand and to decline or offer slternate suggestions if they can not produce what is desired. The OP did a reasonable job on a cake that should have been priced mush higher than $45.00, but it wasn't what the client ordered, so while it should have cost more than it did if that was what was ordered, the client was not wrong to say she didn't want to pay for what was clearly not the cake she had expected. The way she did it was not optimal, but she was actually correct.
While posters on CC tend to side with a decorator over a client, people in business need to know their limits and be able to communicate those to the client. Every potential inquiry is not one that has to be accepted. Learning that is a key to success.

To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, ?She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration.?
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand?s iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.
The brand American Apparel, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, conjures up images of stylish and well-fitting fashion basics. It also likely brings to mind sassy advertisements featuring long-haired beauties in natural makeup posing in skin-bearing bodysuits and loungewear.
But what many don't know about the brand?despite its name and the slice of apple pie that comes with every purchase?is that all of its clothes are made in America. Everything from sewing and cutting to accounting and marketing happens in one building in downtown Los Angeles, and the rest occurs within a 30-mile radius. Not only that, every slim-fitting pair of pants, spandex bodysuit, and v-neck T-shirt is made in a sweatshop-free environment.
Plus, keeping everything in house means the company eliminates unnecessary and wasteful factors, such as shipping fuel and packing materials, as well as provides jobs to Angelenos, instead of outsourcing them.
Satori means sudden enlightenment, and at Satori Salon that moment comes when stylists spin clients around to face the mirror and a brand new cut and color are revealed. Inside this Washington Avenue salon in the Heights, dark bamboo paneling and wooden Buddhas create a Zen-like feeling. The Satori experience isn't just about getting a haircut; it's about creating the perfect hair design in a lush atmosphere. The designers here are all established stylists, and many have master-level color training and experience working on photo shoots and runway shows. A great hairstyle might not lead to sudden enlightenment, but it can definitely be a great surprise during the big reveal.
Holding doctorates in optometry and biochemistry, Dr. Zeinep O. Echetebu dispenses her extensive knowledge of vision to patients at both Gulfgate Vision and Gulf Vision. To assess eye health and help guests find the optimal form of vision correction, her services range from annual exams to visual-field-screening analyses for early detection of diseases. The staff then fits eyes for contact lenses, or leads patients through a stock of designer frames from brands such as Burberry, Juicy Couture, Gucci, and Versace to ensure that clients look stylish when they see themselves clearly in the mirror.
Combining the personal touch of an optometrist-owned practice with the affordable pricing offered at optical superstores, Today's Vision helps keep customers' eyesight crystal clear. Pooling their resources under the Today's Vision aegis, the independent operators that own each location are able to offer personalized care while taking advantage of large-scale discounts on lenses, LASIK eye surgeries, and novelty eye charts that are printed all fuzzy-like. Those looking for fetching frames can browse through extensive selections from such purveyors as Oakley, De Rigo, and Liz Claiborne.

Super holiday cottage for Exmoor and coast. Very peaceful.Furnished to high standard with lots of thought gone into providing everything possible you are likely to need with a few little extras on the side. Had a wonderful stay and was made very welcome by Sally and Jon. Beautiful grounds to walk dog -lots of rabbits to chase.
Sandra, 26.09.2013Having stayed in cottages for many years acorn retreat is by far the best we have stayed at. The apartment and grounds are second to none and Sally and Jon make you so welcome I would recommend it to anybody for a relaxing holiday and rate it 11 out of 10.
Derek, 20.09.2013This is without a doubt the best holiday cottage that we have stayed in! Superbly equipped and maintained by very welcoming owners. Grounds were excellent and we saw deer and even glimpsed an otter one evening. It was a great base for exploring North Devon and Exmoor with our dog.

Les Keiter, called Palestra bomb scare game, dies at 89
Philadelphia Daily News
Daily News Staff and Wire Report
Days after the passing of Harry Kalas, the community of Philadelphia sports announcers lost another member with the death of Les Keiter on Tuesday in Hawaii.
Keiter, the voice of the Big 5 from 1963 to 1970, was two weeks shy of his 90th birthday. Keiter's wife, Lila, said her husband was surrounded by family when he died at Castle Medical Center in Honolulu.
"I call the Palestra my field of dreams," Keiter told the Daily News before his induction into the Big 5 Hall of Fame in 2003. "The 7 years I worked there, 3 nights a week, I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. And now to be joining the greats [as a Hall of Famer], my life is really, really complete."
Keiter is known for his famous sign-on, at the start of broadcasts at the Palestra - "Welcome to Panicsville, USA," - and also coined phrases such as "ring-tailed howitzer," "tickled the twine" and "in again, out again, Finnegan."
The night Keiter is most asked to recall was the bomb scare at the Palestra during the St. Joe's-Villanova game on Feb. 20, 1965. Keiter ignored police orders to evacuate and stayed on-air in the tiny crow's nest of a broadcast booth high above the Palestra floor.
"Everybody remembers the bomb scare," he said in 2003. "The Big 5 was so celebrated nationally, with all the great teams of the '60s. I remember Adolph Rupp coming in with Kentucky, Dean Smith with Carolina, Rick Barry with Miami . . . so many memories."
Keiter also is famous for calling historic boxing matches, including Muhammad Ali's first title win over Sonny Liston in 1964.
Keiter retired in 1994 as sports director of Honolulu TV station KHON, becoming the spokesman for Aloha Stadium.
"He was a terrific guy. He always called you 'Kid.' Even though he was getting aged, his voice was still strong. And his mind was sharp as a tack," Hawaii sportscaster Jim Leahey said.
Keiter started his broadcasting career in Hawaii after World War II and then moved to the East Coast.
Between 1956 and 1985 Keiter narrated a dozen championship heavyweight fights for ABC and the Mutual Broadcasting Co. He was also a sports announcer for the Giants baseball franchise from 1954 to 1962 - the team moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958 - and for the New York Knicks from 1955 to 1962.
Keiter's book, "Fifty Years Behind the Microphone," explained how he "re-created" baseball games for radio audiences. He was hired to do the broadcasts for New York fans after the Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers both relocated to California in '58.
In the early 1970s, he became the voice of University of Hawaii sports and Triple A baseball's Hawaii Islanders.
In addition to his wife, Keiter is survived by five children and many grandchildren.

He was the voice of the BIG FIVE when the B5 meant something. He could turn a blow out into a close game. Magic behind the mike.

An interesting coincidence involving two of Philadelphia's best known sportscasters who we are now mourning. Harry the K began his professional career in Hawaii and Les Keiter retired from broadcasting there (although the article says Les also started in Hawaii). Before my family moved to the Philadelphia area in the early 1960s we were in New York and I was a Brooklyn Dodger fan until they and the Giants left after the 1957 season. I have a vivid memory of listening (at age 8 or 9) to a Les Keiter broadcast of a San Francisco Giants game. As the article says it was a re-creation, although I did not know that while listening to it. It weasn't until years later I realized it wasn't a live broadcast because of the length of time it took Keiter to describe efforts of two Giants to score from 3d base on sacrifice flies hit in consecutive at bats. The play began with Jim Flanigan on 3rd base and Willie Mays on 2nd base with no one out. His narration went as follows: "Here comes Flanigan! here comes the ball! Here comes Flanigan! here comes the ball! Here comes Flanigan! here comes the ball! Flanigan is SAFE!!. And then after Mays tags up and moves to third on the play, Keiter describes his attempt to score on a short outfield fly. "Here comes Mays! here comes the ball! Here comes Mays! here comes the ball! Here comes Mays! here comes the ball! Mays is OUT!!. Of course the plays didn't take that long in real time, Keiter was filling until he knew the result of each play, but he made it exciting as he did with all the Big 5 games. Another piece of Keiter trivia. After moving back to Hawaii, Keiter often had cameo appearances as a newscaster or sportscaster on episodes of the TV show "Hawaii 5-0"

I was in Hawaii in '79 when Temple played Hawaii U's football team. I was going down an escalator in my hotel when I heard this voice behind me. I knew that voice. I turned round and there he was, talking with Owl AD Ernie Casale. I blurted out, "Les Keiter!" He said "Son, you're not old enough to remember me." I said, "Are you kidding?" And proceeded to rattle of all of his familiar phrases. He was impressed since he hadn't been in the Philly are in many years. It is a shame that we are losing such well known "voices" of our time like Keiter, Harry, and Whitey. In this age, they can never be replaced.

You know, I'm really impressed at how much Hoshino-sensei's art has improved in three years~ It's gotten so lovely. But her comments make me think of some old man or whatever. xD It's weird.

Hello, Manuel. A beautiful rose, enhanced by the droplets, which you have captured well. It's good to have the whole rose in the frame with no petals cut off, but it looks a bit too central. It's not always easy with flowers, but I feel that it is "looking" to the right, so I would like to have seen more space there, and perhaps also some more at the top. I have done a modification where I cropped the left and added canvas to the top, to offset the rose, then altered the top background so that the rose had fewer distractions, and left some foliage at the bottom. I adjusted levels and selectively sharpened the rose petal edges and the droplets.

Just visited this site (July 29, 2014) and the goats have eaten all the dried vegetation. Looking forward to seeing if they come back next year.
First time seeing this in the east bay. Small pop, maybe 20-30 plants, maybe 5 flowering.

Developmental Problems, Some Exist in the Genes
Medical News Today
Date Published:
August 18, 2010
DNA for each individual contains variants that are more or less common in the overall population.
Some gene variations are actually genetic deletions, where sections of DNA 'code' are missing entirely. These variants are likely to have important effects on gene function and, therefore, likely to contribute to diseases associated with that gene. But what happens when multiple genes are disrupted in a single family?

Since WDW just raised the price of their one day one park pass to $71. Do you see this as a way for Disney to start pushing people into annual passes and multi-day multipark tickets instead? Is $71 too much to pay for a day at a Disney park?

Since WDW just raised the price of their one day one park pass to $71. Do you see this as a way for Disney to start pushing people into annual passes and multi-day multipark tickets instead? Is $71 too much to pay for a day at a Disney park?
Of course.
I let my AP expire in June for financial reasons, and I *gasp* paid $71 for a 1-day ticket to Epcot. I shudder at the recollection.:eek:
Yeah, that's the point of EVERYTHING Disney does.
Late 80's: Universal is building a "Studio's" park in Florida. Let's build MGM.
Late 80's, Early 90's: People are staying off-site. Let's build hotels that everybody could afford.
Mid 90's: People are going to Busch Gardens. Let's build Animal Kingdom.
00's: People are eating off-site. Let's have a dining plan to ensure people stay on our property.
00's: People are staying at Universal because they are giving free rental cars. Let's have a FREE shuttle to and from the airport and also pick up their baggage.
00's: People are splitting their vactations between Universal and Sea World. Let's have multi-day tickets that increase in value the longer you stay.
EVERYTHING Disney does is to keep people on property.
Wow! No one over at WDW side cares that Disney raised their prices again. People at DL scream murder each time it happens at DL.
But is WDW worth the price for a single day/single park admission?
We do care about the price hike. So much that we discussed it here: http://www.micechat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73116
I don't like it, but if they keep raising minimum wage the prices are going to keep increasing.
Of course I don't like the increase. However, that will not deter me from going. I feel that WDW is worth every penny and more that you must pay.
most people buy multi day park hopper passes these days and as was stated before we are used to the price increasing yearly, the question these days is by how much. all it takes is for universal or sea world to increase prices and the rest follow suit. are any of the parks worth 71 plus tax? not really but then remember that orlando is a TOURIST town
I'd like to see data on how many people actually get 1 day park tickets and what percentage of ticket revenue and what percentage of customers that is. Yet people harp on the one day ticket price.
Ticket increase = 6%
Out of the 57,000 CMs, about 40,000 are actually on WDW's payroll.
TWDC made $1.1 billion for the quarter.
Even if ALL the 40,000 worked 40 hours and made a $2 pay increase (and eqivalent for salaried), then that is an additional $41.6 million for the quarter. That is less than 5% of their profit. Perhaps starting at $9.00+ would increase retention therefore reducing training costs and having higher morale that makes happier CMs therefore better service.
I believe WDW was about 40% of TWDC's income. That's $440,000,000. That's 10% of the income. Keepin mind the huge amount of part time and CT CMs that don't work 40 hours and the math would work out to less than 6%, almost washing out the ticket price hike. I mean before it, they weren't exactly losing money.
Problem is 3% is a lot to investors and WDW Management has their heads so far up their a$ses that they will never see this as being a good solution. Unfortunately the reality of the situation is that the price hike is corporate greed. Proof: The expeced increase of operating costs was less than 3%...not 6% and they are doing NOTHING gor CMs.

Medium- and lower-risk flaws are being used more by hackers to penetrate
enterprise networks, due to firms taking longer to patch them.
Security experts have warned businesses that hackers are moving their
focus from flaws designated as high risk by software vendors to flaws
normally seen as lower risks.
Lloyd's of London chief information security officer Marcus Alldrick
said, " [Hackers] are not going for the normal high risk flaws, they're
going for the medium risk ones. In the patch management cycle, the
medium risk flaws are being patched later."
That delay in patching is also being exacerbated by hackers combining
the lower-risk flaws to create so-called blended threats, explained BT
global head of business continuity, security & governance practice Ray
By combining two lower-risk flaws, hackers can cause high-risk threats
to an organisation.

U.S. railroad company created by the federal government in 1973 to take over six bankrupt northeastern railroads. Conrail began operations in 1976 with major portions of the Central Railroad Co. of New Jersey, Erie Lackawanna Railway Co., Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Co., Lehigh Valley Railroad Co., Penn Central Transportation Co., and Reading Co. The resulting network carried freight traffic to 15 states, from the Atlantic Ocean to St. Louis, Mo., and from the Ohio River north to Canada. Its passenger traffic was turned over to Amtrak and regional transportation authorities in 1983. Its stock was put up for sale to the public in 1987, and in 1999 most of Conrail's assets were acquired by CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads.
