Order in the next 17 hours 54 minutes for delivery TOMORROW
Soft blushes of strawberry pink and creamy white weave through these gorgeous blossoms. With scented oriental Lily, read more »Order Now »
Brilliant service always kept up-to-date with the delivery and wonderful flowers at the end of it. Also got a friend out of a difficult situation when he discovered on the Saturday before Mother's Day that he had forgotten to send flowers to his mother. She loved them.
Absolutely fab service and delivery spot on!
Everything was fab, the only thing I could critisize if the emails I recieved after this they were endless for mothers day and unfortunately this was the first year without mine - my mum died August so constant reminders about getting flowers for mothers day really hurt, you cannot help that i know as you need to publisise your company to get your orders! Just a small critisism not your fault! Will use you again!
Easy to complete the order, kept updated on all delivery details, will use again for Mother's day!
Very good service and the flowers I sent my mum for mothers day lasted for about 6 weeks, never known flowers to last that long.
Service rating : Beautiful fresh flowers, delivered at a reasonable time and fantastic prices. This is the second time I've used serenata and I'll use them again!
Product : Lovely fresh tulips in a clean pretty gift bag with a witty instructions card made my mothers day.

Americans Observe Veterans Day
Millions of Americans took time to observe Veterans Day in cities across the nation on Sunday.
Millions of Americans took time to observe Veterans Day in cities across the nation on Sunday.
After a hard-fought campaign against former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney, Barack Obama won a second term as President of the United States by winning both the popular and electoral vote. Here's his victory speech.
Two days after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the East Coast, many residents remain without basic supplies like food, clean water and shelter. Fortunately for the victims of this storm, there are many organizations out there determined to provide assistance to those affected by the hurricane.
Hurricane Sandy carved a path of destruction through the East Coast on Monday evening, battering Atlantic City.
Sandy is one of the most damaging hurricanes ever to hit the Northeast, spreading from from North Carolina to New England.
A man drove from Long Island, New York, into Lower Manhattan earlier today in a van he thought was filled with explosives. He parked the van close to the Federal Reserve building, just a few blocks from the World Trade Center, and planned to detonate it using a cell phone from a nearby hotel.
The explosives, however, were fake.
Is it just me, or do these stories seem to be cropping up more and more? Is society in a downward spiral or are social media and the internet allowing us more access to information? Either way, the thought of a mother gluing her toddler's hands to a wall
I am dumbstruck after watching this video. I have never been more ashamed of the human species. This defies all reason and logic. It's National Bullying Prevention Month and in the last few weeks, it seems there's been in an increase.
First, you have the TV news anchor who was bullied over her weight, then someone actually threw a Barbie on stage at a Demi Lovato concert. Lady Gaga has had to defend her recent weight gain and now this.
For those of us who have had the misfortune of being bullied at some point during our life, Whitney Kropp is our hero. Whitney was nominated to Homecoming Court as a Sophomore Princess. She was so happy... until she found out it was a cruel joke. She said she felt, "like trash" and like no one cared at all about her.
That night she thought about ending her life. But her family and friends urged her to be brave and take this as an opportunity to show the kids that she wasn't a joke after all.
Currently, 10 states and the District of Columbia ban any cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle. According to a new survey from AutoTrader.com, though, most people would be okay if this restriction spread to the rest of the country.
As we follow the progression of Hurricane Isaac we have learned that at least 18 miles of levees in Plaquemines Parish have been over-topped by water. It is reported that there is 10-12 feet of flood waters in Plaquemines Parish. Isaac's wrath is being felt in New Orleans this morning as well.

Dining room paint color help needed!
keri414August 25, 2011
I need some paint color advice. I painted the bottom of our dining room SW Peppercorn (a very dark gray). I painted the top Unique Gray, (a beautiful gray with purple undertones). But when it was on all the walls, it turned to a flat baby blue. I repainted with Olympus White, which is more of a true gray. Looked great at first, but when I finished it looked baby blue too, just a little bit lighter. I want a light silvery gray that stays gray, but the Peppercorn color on the bottom half of the dining room is turning everything blue! Anyone have any good ideas? I'm open to repainting the upper half, but I'm also interested in any ceiling colors that might help or any lighting changes???

Need input on bathroom layout
Thank you in advance for your advice. I've read over a 100 postings and this group gives great thoughtful suggestions.
The two photos posted are the current design. (we will be attempting to post photos in a few minutes.)
Issue #1: This bathroom is desperately in need of upgrades in products/colors, etc. We thought we could improve upon the layout while making tile/counter top, etc improvements. Do you see a better layout opportunity?
Issue #2: Do you see additional design/feature opportunities? (ex. wall-cut-ins, cool fixtures which bring in a master bath feeling??)
Issue #3: The age old question---This is our master bath. Do we have to have the jaccuzi tub? We may be moving in a year. We currently live in MN. There is no way we could keep the current icky tile,color/counters. Yes, we do have a shower/tub in the guest bathroom.
Issue #4: Sure, it would be nice to not have to do major plumbing moves but if you can improve upon the design and it only adds reasonable (??$1000??) of a professional plumber's time--it wouldn't make me panic. I think we've become concerned with moving anything because people comment on the difficulty/cost so often.
1) Note one of the sinks is positioned right in front of a window. Old/current bathroom had counter to ceiling mirrors so you could kind of watch yourself shave and brush teeth.
2) Outdated shower--bit like a cave--although there is a light in there. Think of yourself showering in a cube.
3) We have considered keeping jacuzzi and just changing tile on deck and fixtures because it still works and in good condition. It is off-white/cream. The problem with the older jacuzzi is we're having trouble finding replacements for brass colored fixtures. Source suggestions?
Good News: One of the postings from StacyNeil gave me one idea. We could change two of walls of shower into glass.
Thanks. Please ask any questions.
Image link:
Here's my two cents - as a realtor and a homeowner- based on the layout drawing:
I think the two sinks are not a good idea. A key reason for two sinks is for two people to be able to get ready at the same time but this layout prohibits two people using sinks at the same time. I'm worried buyers will get too wrapped up in the awkwardness of it.
The obvious thing would be put two sinks on the long vanity, even if they are close together. Also, I've seen people hang oval mirrors over a window both for practicality and privacy.
I second the idea of glass walls - it opens the space and makes it look more modern.
Hope this helps.

I make it a point to try to contact developers to let them know when I really enjoy a game -- especially one that gets a bad/mediocre review or no coverage at all. I also do it to publishers to express my desire for sequels to games I enjoy or request localisation for Japanese titles.
Sometimes this takes some effort as the majority of developers and publishers seem to not want any feedback from customers having no kind of feedback submission form: only being focused on getting mail for product support. Midway is the only company I can think of that has a feedback form and they also respond within a matter of hours -- you do have to register an account, however.
I've had direct response from an individual in a development house once (Farsight Studios) or from PR people (Eidos, Sunsoft). Most of the time it might fall on deaf ears or go into a mailbox that never gets checked, but I still think it's worthwhile to let people know directly that you liked their game and give some constructive feedback. I know I like hearing thanks, etc. from the customers on my job.
Anyone else go through the effort to make direct contact and express an opinion (hopefully constructive/positive -- I don't see the point in telling someone their game sucks, frankly)?
Giving Dev/Publisher feedback...anyone else do this?

And you're a cunt, RetroJB.
Anyone seen that feedback thing Nintendo have set up on their channel? Bit odd, very limited in scope but I suppose it provides basic demographic info.
no, because it'd be pointless. They don't listen to official forum feedbacks, let alone personal emails
O noes, sock caught?
Oh and RetroJB is right. The whole developer rockstar bollocks is tiring because 90% of the time they're boring assholes who stare at computer screens all day masturbating to Hentai whilst the talent does the work.

I write fan mail to Cliff Richard
I've wrote once or twice. Once to request widescreen support in BF2142 (got a response the next day \o/) and once to let take 2 know that Irrational had a loyal following and branding them 2K boston/australia has ruined their pedigree, which didn't get a response
As a dev it's actually really nice to get stuff like this, doesn't happen often but when you get a genuinely heartfelt letter saying how much someone really enjoyed your game, it's really flattering. Reviews aren't quite the same really, they're trying to explain the good and the bad and they're rarely as heartfelt.
That said, it cuts both ways - I'll never forget the letter we got about Haze that just had the words 'EPIC FAIL' printed in giant red letters in the middle of the page.
I like Square who put a little card in their games asking for feedback. They also have a link to a website to do just the same. I did so for Crisis Core and let them know that I adore the game more than I should admit in public.

Is this some kind of veiled insult?
I also write to make requests. For example I make it a point to write Midway every quarter asking for yet another version of Midway Arcade Treasures for the Wii (with a PAL release this time!). I get told it will be sent to the right people.
I wrote Factor9 about both Monster Lab and the Godzilla/Rampage games to their respective devs (Factor9 is some kind of umbrella corp or something?), but no clue if they got to them or not.
For Farsight I couldn't find anything on their site so I just tried firstname.lastname@example.com and it ended up getting routed to the team lead for Gottlieb Pinball Classics. I've been bugging the guy ever since, so I guess answering was a mistake on his part.
Also, glad to see some actual developer response in this thread. What's the deal with publishers/developers (or really any company) that don't have an email address for feedback? Or developers/publishers that cannot be bothered to update their websites (I'm thinking of System 3, here)?

Yeah, writing the small devs seems the most rewarding; I think you'd be more likely to get your mail read and/or a response.
I was quite impressed that Eidos replied as quickly as they did when I wrote them about Monster Lab.

I think disc is refering to that story about that kid who was bed ridden, got a controller made that he could play games on even though he was so handicapped, he could hardly move. I'm not sure he meant it as an insult to anyone though.
/could be wrong.
I doubt it was a veiled insult but it was very funny in the context Sean understood in anyway.

According to the "The Glitter & The Gold" by Dietz et al, in the 1890s the jewelry designing and manufacturing company Jones & Woodland Company of Newark, New Jersey specialized in rings for both men and women. Quite innovative for the time, the firm "changed ring designs and stone colors annually" to keep up with ever-changing fashions and to create new trends for the jewelry world. In addition, the immortal Tiffany contracted with the company to manufacture most of its higher-end class rings for such institutions as West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Strikingly handsome in the artistry for which the company is known, the large and bold acid tested 14k yellow gold ring displays strong geometry with superb lines and well-balanced and contrasting symmetry reflective of the beginning years of the Art Deco movement. Set within the masculine mount is an oval bloodstone approximately 12 mm by 9 mm in dimension. Hand engraved to the interior is "FLM or FIM to JBB".
Date: Circa 1920.
Measurements: 5/8 of an inch (1.6 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/8 of an inch (0.3 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 8.9 grams (5.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 8-1/4 (UK Q; Int. Dia. 18.5; Euro 58 mm; Japan just over 16) and can be easily sized to fit most.
Condition: Excellent.
Origin: American.

Notes & Reviews:
"...Henry Fogel briefly went over one's recorded choices of Sonnambula and concluded that Callas was first choice, but added that Pagliughi\Tagliavini was worthy as well; I agree...Reservations, however, abound and so we're in a pickle, for any number of reasons. But great news- this bargain set solves the problem...The singing is of an amazingly high quality...we finally have a Sonnambula one needn't apologize for - what a relief!" -Levine, Fanfare

After creating a C# application for Windows that builds on top of the WebKit project I can successfully render HTML and make AJAX calls. My application uses the window.openDatabase call.
This method seems to exist in that a call to
will evaluate to true. When the method is actually called to open the database, it will return null stating the database can not be opened.
I've found the following link for using this on WebKit for a Macintosh, but the same solution does not appear to be available for the windows build.
Does anyone know if this is available in the standard WebKit nightly builds for Windows and if so how to make this work?

Not surprisingly, only buildings in top markets with high-credit tenants are benefiting from the slowly emerging commercial mortgage-backed securities market -- such as the Durst Organization's $1.3 billion refinancing of the Bank of America Tower in New York. Smaller properties still are largely shut out of the capital markets, although banks are more willing to extend existing loans.

Zachary Rodgers | March 26, 2012 | Comments
Microsoft's top ad sales executive will soon mark a year in his job.
In April, Frank Holland will mark a year at the helm of Microsoft's ad sales efforts. In that time he has met with many of the company's global agency and brand customers, and has sought to channel the energy of his 1,800-strong sales force into the kind of custom, high-touch campaigns brand advertisers increasingly want. It hasn't been easy.
"The problem we have right now is we don't have enough sales people to address the demand for high-end, multi-screen branded deals," said Holland, corporate VP of advertising and online business.
The notion that employing close to 2,000 ad sellers amounts to a staffing crisis may seem ludicrous until you consider the company's sprawling media network. Among Microsoft's ad supported properties are Xbox, MSN, Skype, Windows Live, Windows Mobile, Hotmail, Microsoft Media Network (a comScore top 10 ad network), Bing, and Yahoo Search. Many of these have specialized ad formats and dedicated sales teams.
Also consider that Microsoft's sales organization is divided into 13 regions, of which the U.S. is just one. Overseas its job is further complicated by franchise deals with brands like Singapore's XIN, for content and ad services.
In the U.S. and internationally, Holland wants his ad sellers to focus on lucrative customized campaigns. "I'd like to cover the creative agencies a lot deeper than we do today, and have them think about the Microsoft opportunity as a platform they can build on top of," he said.
Holland insists this will happen naturally as Microsoft puts in place better systems for automating data-driven display ad campaigns. He said programmatic ad buys represent the fastest growing piece of Microsoft's ad business, revenue-wise.
Microsoft's programmatic offering is a work in progress, but it includes ad exchange technology supplied by AppNexus and the company's big ad network deal with rivals Yahoo and AOL. That deal became official earlier this month.
"We end up solving a lot of problems with arms and legs that we could with a really advanced platform," he said. "As we get more advanced in the way we automate programmatic buying, we'll be able to service a lot more depth on the hand-sold side."
A Microsoft Insider
Holland has little in common with his predecessors. The two most recent people to hold his job at Microsoft were Robin Domeniconi and Carolyn Everson, hailing from MTV and Time Inc., respectively. Both were seasoned media sales execs and neither lasted very long. After leaving Microsoft, Domeniconi moved on to Elle, and Everson famously went to Facebook.
Holland, on the contrary, was promoted from within after some 14 years in enterprise sales.
So what's his pitch to advertisers? In a word: breadth.
"Facebook has done a very nice job of taking the term social and making it equal to Facebook," he said. "I'm not trying to define a particular property or platform as the thing Microsoft is going to stand for."
Holland holds up Skype as an example of Microsoft's strength in social. "I'm not trying to hit a zillion friends with Skype," he said. "I'm trying to allow brands to have a co-conversation with the eight closest confidants you've got in the world."
Holland says Microsoft has a very high standard for what advertising should look like in the future.
"It's pretty different from what it looks like now," he said. "In 15 years, here's the legacy I would like to have left: It would be about introducing advertising that's relevant, that's beautiful, that's engaging, that's useful to a consumer. Right now we're a little bit hobbled by the fact we don't connect the pieces of the ecosystem, including the media and creative agencies, well enough to make that happen."

Mark May should lighten up. I can't stand Doug Gottlieb and I think he is a punk but did he really say anything that was that bad. This whole world is way to sensitive. When black guys make a comment about white people nothing is ever said but a stupid innocent comment like this gets blown out of proportion.

Mark May is a fake.
Amen !!!
"blacks can say anything now, and no one says anything". so it sounds like blacks had their place and have now left to read your comment. Say Barkley called out the nonsense so chill, or should he go back to his place....
Fire Mark May and everything is even.Racism will go away when the blacks quit bring it up in every conversation. Wouldn't they have a fit if there was a NAAWP organization?

Despite wild deviations in spiritual themes and execution, nothing in Noah approaches sacrilege or surrender, making this an acutely sensible biblical epic. It may simply be too strange for the masses to notice.
Overall, Noah represents a respectful take on an old story by filmmakers who pose a pertinent question. The Creator promises never again to wipe humanity off the face of the Earth, signing that covenant with the cheering image of a rainbow. Does that mean he won't let us wipe ourselves out millennia later, if we're hell-bent on doing so?
Noah can be silly or sublime, but it's never less than fascinating. I was on board from start to finish.
It isn't "The Ten Commandments" and Crowe is no Charlton Heston. But Noah makes Biblical myth grand in scope and intimate in appeal. The purists can always go argue over "God Isn't Dead." The rest of creation can appreciate this rousing good yarn, told with blood and guts and brawn and beauty, with just a hint of madness to the whole enterprise.
Aronofsky's story of Noah and his ark is far-removed from our collective recollections of Sunday school pageants and Cecil B. DeMille extravaganzas. Instead, this film opts for the sort of human-scaled realism that almost allows us to smell the dank stench of a menagerie cooped up for 40 days and nights on a water-swept barge.
Neither fish nor fowl, neither foul nor inspiring, director and co-writer Darren Aronofsky's strange and often rich new movie Noah has enough actual filmmaking to its name to deserve better handling than a plainly nervous Paramount Pictures has given it.
Mar 27, 2014What could have made Noah work is the same sense of urgency – of fateful craziness – that made "Pi" so memorable, and which also factored into the fatal obsessions of "The Wrestler" and "Black Swan" (two very flawed movies that admittedly benefited from stronger lead performances than the one here).

As a christian I do not find a unique interpretation of the Noah story a bad thing. No, on the contrary I think it is a really good thing - if I want to read the actual story, I'll read the Bible. The Noah is not a retelling, but rather an attempt to understand the values and to make the short tale something bigger and more complex. And they did it right - drama made me weep, action made me thrilled, conclusion gave me feeling of hope and happiness… Expand
Apr 14, 2014Let's begin where the Book does…
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of theLet's begin where the Book does…
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Genesis 6:5-7 KJV
Let's allow the movie to begin where it desires to as well (these are the first words at the top of the movie's website)…
The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.
Since its March 28th release (and before, really) I have had the advantage (and in some cases, disadvantage) of reading many passionate reviews… all before I had seen the movie. I was reminded that some of us actually read reviews to decide whether or not we will go to the theater to see a movie. So reviews have their place. As usual, I come to this evaluation process from a bit of a different angle. For the last 20+ yrs. I have been a professional storyteller. You may look at my resume and wonder why a pastor would call himself that, but that's exactly what we who deliver sermons are doing… we are telling and retelling the stories found in the Scriptures.
If you were/are looking to the Noah movie to retell the story word-for-word as the Scripture does, I nearly certain that you will walk away as many have… disappointed. However, most of us who attend Christian churches would be equally disappointed if we showed up to a worship service and the sermon for the day was solely the reading of Scripture. We want to know some perspective. How does that text apply to my life? What am I supposed to do or be because of what the Scripture teaches? I think this movie does both masterfully. Here a few of the high points that stood out to me:
- total ownership of why God was destroying the earth… the wickedness of man… sin
- acknowledging God as Creator
- even enumerating the very acts of creation day by day
- showing Noah as the righteous yet fallen human that he was
- even the weird stuff (you already have your list) does not diminish the power of the story
So even if you don't end up liking the movie, let's be the ones that are known what we're for instead of what we're against. May this retelling of the story of Noah cause audiences to consider the greatness and grace of our God.… Expand

Aronofsky's version of NOAH is a mix up between his usual eccentric approach, and a blockbuster film. Its interpretation of Biblical 'hero' Noah seems to either piss of religious people or acclaimed by critics everywhere. Sure he took great liberties, but the end result is a riveting and unusual 'bible' film that pull no punches in humanizing its hero, a man considered a great prophets by many Religions. Well acted by Crowe in his best performance in years, highly recommended if you are a bit open minded about it.… Expand
Mar 29, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was quite disappointing in the way it was hyped as this bold version of the telling of Noah. The story Darren tells is quite bold and it had a great dark tone to it. However, its message was thrown at you in a way that pissed me off. This idea that god would kill off the bad is a good thing, but to let the good suffer along with them is stupid. The loss of mental control of Noah wasn't something I was taught but maybe it was true. I'm right on the fence with this one; until I read the actually story (which is something I need to do). Maybe the story was true which would piss me off more than I'm already at. In the context of the bible of course. Stories of things that I believe were put there to tell the world what is wrong and right. Nothing to be interpreted as real life. So if this was the real story of Noah, then I've lost most my fate in the Bible all together. The story of how one man could get something wrong from god was good and the extent of his awakening was pretty satisfying. Though the decision of Noah to go to that extent where he thinks god is telling him he should kill kids is ridiculous and I wouldn't want a god like that. Though his revaluation at the end kind of made up for it. So at this point its more of a good movie than a bad, but I've got to read the story to see how much the movie is true to it. 7.6/10… Expand

The problem is, it doesn't really have many merits. This film was simply two hours and fifteen minutes of tedium. The special effects are barely worthy of a SyFy Channel original film. The acting is overly hammy and in some cases mind-numbingly wooden, part of which I feel is the part of the script, which eschews actually writing good dialogue for what seems to be just spewing out statements at random. The editing ranges in style from choppy to lingering overly long on mundane, uninteresting scenes. Everything is just...off. As bad as everything else felt, the score was possibly worse. I've never had issue with the work of Clint Mansell before, but for Noah he's opted for a blaring two note score that just keeps screaming the same two flipping horn blasts in your face over and over again. This is also the first time I would ever describe Aronofsky's directing as "ham-fisted". Everything feels overdone, self-indulgent and overproduced. I usually walk out of a Darren Aronofsky film contemplating the themes and mulling it over in my head to uncover deeper meanings. This one only stayed with me as a bad memory.… Expand

A Bangkok dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River is a romantic way for tourists to experience the city. Numerous dinner boats, from large and lively to small and intimate, service the Chao Phraya River each evening, cruising up and down the river past the illuminated spires of Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn) and some of the finest hotels in the world.
Several hours upstream at the former Thai capital of Ayutthaya, these dinner cruises are also major attractions, floating past spectacularly lit ruins while serving outstanding Thai cuisine. Similar river-boat dinner cruises in Chiang Mai lack the ruins, but certainly not the romance.
