For a majority of my more than 30 years of watching WWE entertainment, WrestleMania has been the show I have looked forward to seeing more than any other. Don't get me wrong, I love the Royal Rumble and the occasional SummerSlam PPV, but at the end of the day everything Vince McMahon does throughout the year is geared towards delivering a top-notch Mania card for the masses to take in.
This year feels a little different. I am not sure if it is a byproduct of getting older (I hope not at least) or the lineup of matches, but even with Sting's debut match in the WWE on the docket, my anticipation for this Sunday's extravaganza is somewhat tepid. There have been some 'dud' Mania's in the past (see the Miz vs. Cena headliner in Atlanta a few years back), and I am fearful we are headed in that direction. There is little buzz, less energy, and other than Brock Lesnar's announcement earlier this week that he will remain with the WWE, not much to talk about in terms of big picture scenarios.
With this as the backdrop, I have summoned our panel of experts for their feel on the matches and to see if they share my sentiments.
Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (c) (with Natalya) vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) (with El Torito) vs. The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) (with Xavier Woods) vs. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) (with Naomi) Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Waymire: I don't see any reason to take the titles away from Kidd and Cesaro, so they're my pick. Usos are good but have had their run. Los Matadores are just plain corny, and The New Day are just plain embarrassing. Please DO NOT give either one of those teams the titles!
JD: I hate being Debbie Downer here, but just how bad is the Tag Team division currently? Los Matadores, New Day and the Usos are horrible kid friendly tag teams that 99% of actual wrestling fans despise. I love the idea of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, but how long are they going to keep them together? Six months? Can't we have legit tag teams that aren't forced down people's throats in a cheesy way? I really hate making a pick here but if I have to I hope the Swiss hunk (yea I said it) and Tyson Kidd retain.
BJR: No interest. This was simply thrown together; the champs are not a true tag team as far as I'm concerned. So much for HHH's focus on the tag team titles. Oh and where is the mighty Ascension?
Drew: Gotta go with the champs on this one. I actually like this team and wish the tag division had more pull (the other teams in this match are garbage and The Ascension has been a massive bust). Can't see them dropping the title here.
PAC: I personally enjoy the team of Kidd and Cesaro. They probably aren't built for the long-term, but glad that a great worker like Kidd is finally getting a chance to perform again. I see them winning unless the powers that be want to throw one of these other teams as bone.
André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal for the André the Giant Memorial Trophy
Waymire: This would be a good spot to bring back Sheamus, so he's my pick. If he's not even in it, then it's a toss-up between a bunch of people nobody cares about. So I guess I'll go with Ryback.
JD: Who really cares who wins as long as there is a cool spot (Cesaro eliminating Show last year).
BJR: No interest, couldn't even really tell you who's in this match. All I know is that Goldust is in it and we are not seeing him and Stardust have a match at Mania; instead they quickly throw them together in a PPV match last month and completely miss out on an old school feud with one payoff match on the biggest stage of them all. Winner: Samoa Joe.
Drew: Blah. Ryback I guess.
PAC: It will come down to Corporate Kane, Big Show, Ryback, and maybe a returning Sheamus. Either way I don't have any interest in this match and am glad it is on the pre-show now.
Bad News Barrett (c) vs. R-Truth vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Stardust vs. Daniel Bryan Ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Waymire: Maybe it's time to take the Intercontinental title seriously again? If that's the case, then I'll roll with Daniel Bryan, who can make a big deal about following in the footsteps of HBK, Bret Hart, Randy Savage, and Stone Cold, among others.
JD: This may very well steal the show. The only thing I don't like is R-Truth being in this match (what purpose does it serve?). The other competitors are clearly the future of the company and keeping them involved in the IC title will only help to elevate it again.
BJR: Minimal interest. I'm still annoyed that they had Ziggler vs Bryan on this past Monday's RAW, that match belongs on the Mania card. This match will be great from a pure wrestling standpoint and will have some amazing spots. I still think this was thrown together and really has no point to it other than giving these guys a chance to be on the card. I really need to start seeing long term feuds built up well prior to Mania, not three weeks prior. Winner, Stardust with help from Sheamus when he takes out Bryan.
Drew: Best match on the card in my opinion. Ambrose, Ziggler & Bryan always bring 100% to every match they are in. Stardust can be really good in big-ticket matches. If you could bet on this situation, I would put a lot of money on Barrett getting hurt at some point that will put him out of action for six months. Harper & Truth are throw-ins. I expect a lot of high-flying action, a lot of big-time bumps and at least two Holy Sh*t moments. The easy pick is Bryan. I'm going with Ziggler – he's been on a roll lately and they can set something up with him & Bryan that can go for a while.
PAC: This is one of the top matches on the card and should bring down the house. My only regret is that the likes of Ziggler, Bryan, and Ambrose might've been better served in other feuds or in other high profile matches way up the card. I think Ziggler and Bryan will cancel each other out leading to a series between them down the line, leaving Ambrose to emerge victorious.
AJ Lee and Paige vs. The Bella Twins (Brie Bella and Nikki Bella) Tag team match
Waymire: I don't see many heels winning on this night, so this might be one of the only matches where it could happen. The Bellas get the victory. But I still love Paige. A lot.
JD: I love AJ, Paige and Nikki. That is all.
BJR: Piss break. Winner: The Bella Twins.
Drew: Ugh. Remember when you actually looked forward to Divas matches since it was either (A) halfway decent wrestling or (B) good looking Divas? Now it's neither. I guess I'll go with AJ & Paige.
PAC: Do I have to pick someone? Team Paige only because of her accent.
Rusev (c) (with Lana) vs. John Cena Singles match for the WWE United States Championship
Waymire: Rusev can take the loss here and still be a monster heel, and I can't see Vince McMahon passing on the sight of Cena winning the U.S. title at WM. I think it would be fun to watch Bryan and Cena with the secondary titles, so let's go with Cena.
JD: Don't know how many times I can say it: I hate this John Cena. I don't hate the man, I hate the stale character. For all the shit you can say about Hogan, at least he got it at some point and was like "the red and yellow ain't working anymore". For all the people that say, "he's just following Vince's orders", I would counter and say that if Cena demanded the turn heel, it would happen. Why do I want this so badly? Because I actually feel John Cena has a lot left in the tank just not with this super cheesy fruity pebble character. With that said, I'm guessing he goes over here (which shouldn't happen).
BJR: Already seen this match and I have no interest in a rematch on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Winner, Cena.
Drew: Another blah. SuperCena wins breaking the undefeated streak. The ONLY good thing to come out of this would be if Cena brings back the spinner US title belt (that thing was awesome).
PAC: Surprising to see Cena down the card going for a secondary title. Despite all the USA/Russia ramifications and the building of Rusev into a monster heel, I think a lot of people still don't want to root for Cena. It will be physical match with a lot of power spots, but Cena will win and the big American flag will drop from the sky.
The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt Singles match
Waymire: Can it possibly be two straight WM loses for The Undertaker? I think so, as Wyatt needs to regain much of his lost steam, and this is one opportunity to do so.
JD: Very intrigued here, I think they did the right thing by keeping Taker off TV. I honestly have no idea where they go with this. It can't be a clean finish because Bray should go over but I can't imagine having Taker lose cleanly two years in a row after going 21-0.
BJR: Finally, somewhat of a good buildup with no altercations between the two. Plus they've never faced each other, so there's some intrigue here. I sort of get why Wyatt would call out Taker, but still random to me as to why Taker would be facing Wyatt. I like Wyatt and think he should be put in a feud with another younger guy to try and steal the show. My guess this is to help people forget about Taker's loss last year and maybe position him better for the match vs Sting if that were to happen next year. Winner, Taker.
Drew: Not excited at all. I have never been a Bray Wyatt fan and I continue to not be. Undertaker looked like garbage last year so I have no idea what to expect this year. I think I'll take the Undertaker but I have no idea why.
PAC: Would've liked to have seen this match when Taker could still move. Wyatt is a powerhouse, and him and Old Taker could've had a real knock-down/drag out brawl. The build to this one has been decent, and if Taker hadn't lost to Lesnar last year I would say Wyatt had a shot at winning. I see them appeasing the crowd here with a win by Taker.
Sting vs. Triple H Singles match
Waymire: As much as I'm glad Sting is finally in WWE, he really blew it by not agreeing a few years ago to face The Undertaker at WM 27. From what I recall, he was also in talks to face Triple H at WM 19, I believe. Give Triple H credit – he's happily done the J-O-B in big matches, and that doesn't change here. Sting gets the victory.
JD: Honestly, couldn't be more hyped out this. Both men can still go and I can only imagine the how loud that place will get for Stings entrance.
BJR: I'm beyond disappointed that this is not Sting vs. Taker, that's what's best for business. With that being said, putting my disgust over HHH once again injecting himself in to Mania, I am looking forward to this match. Watching Sting's entrance and first ever WWE match is alone going to be great. Plus HHH is one of the best in ring performers of all time, so between the two of these guys, we'll definitely see a great and physical match. Winner, Sting and hopefully there's something with Taker to set up next year's Mania.
Drew: Although Triple H loves to dominate the storylines and insert himself into every event he deems worthy, he can still put together a solid match. Sting is still in relatively good shape, but his wrestling skills are meager at best at this point. Trips will make this match worth it but Sting wins at the end setting up a go-forward story of him vs. The Authority.
PAC: Say what you will about Trips dominating TV time and injecting himself into the hottest storylines, the man can still create interest in a match. Sting has obvious physical limitations at this point, but Triple H is smart enough to develop a contest that plays to his strengths and makes him look representable out there. I am still bummed at Sting for dropping the ball and not coming to WWE sooner to face the Undertaker a few years back. That would've been epic. We are left with this though, and while it won't be as great, I am still jacked to see him in a match at Mania. Sting gets the win.
Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins (with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) Singles match
Waymire: Rollins can take a loss and still have a big night if he cashes in. Even if there is no cash in, he still has the briefcase and instant credibility, so Orton is my choice.
JD: I could see Orton winning but Rollins getting the last laugh with cashing in. I fully expect Rollins to walk out WWE Champ.
BJR: Will be a good match, Rollins has proven to be a solid performer. But again, we've seen this match in one way, shape or form, so I can't get overly excited about it. The saving grace here will be J&J Security, this is one of the best things going right now and they still "got it" in the ring. Winner, RKO (and obviously Rollin's could cash in his MITB).
Drew: Still can't stand Orton (going on close to 15 years now). I love Rollins – he's a perfect chickensh*t heel, great on the mike and really good in the ring. This will probably be a really good match. I'll go with Rollins winning with outside interference.
PAC: Somewhat interested in this match because both men are really good in the ring and complement each other well. That and anything involving J&J security I am all in on. Orton gets the win and we might see Rollins cashing in later in the night.
Brock Lesnar (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Roman Reigns Singles match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Waymire: Boy has this match taken on added significance in the last few days with Brock's re-signing. So many factors to consider: Reigns being chosen as the "next Cena," Heyman possibly swerving Lesnar, Lesnar bucking tradition and walking out of WM as a heel champion, and the crowd factor weighing heavily on rejecting Reigns winning. With all that said, I'm still going with Reigns coming away champion, even with Lesnar's slick new three-year deal. If Reigns was stubbornly given the Royal Rumble victory, why not here as well?
JD: There are three scenarios that I'm ok with for the outcome of this: 1) Lensar retains and walks out Champ, 2) Rollins cashes in 3) Reigns walks out champ only after a heel turn because let's face it .. no one gives a shit about him as a baby face. It should be a great match, Lesnar is an absolute spectacle and Reigns can go to ..he just isn't ready to be the top baby face.
BJR: Now that Lesnar has resigned with WWE (three year deal WC, are you OK with that now? Or is he still a part-timer?), this match will be entertaining only because Reigns will get booed out of the building. Lesnar should carry the match, I'm not impressed with Reigns in the ring whatsoever, not to mention he jacks his own arm off before his finisher. I won't be shocked to see Lesnar's next feud set up during this match. Winner and still WWE Champion, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrock. Lesnar!
Drew: Before the Rumble I figured it was a lock that Reigns would win and carry the title going forward. But since the debacle at the Rumble and now that Lesnar has signed his WWE extension, I don't see that happening. Now I have not been the biggest Lesnar fan since he "returned" since he's basically pulling a glorified Rock scenario and showing up whenever the product needs a bump, only working about seven shows per year. With his extension, maybe he will actually become part of the storyline. Regardless, I see him retaining. I also say there is a 50% chance of The Rock showing up at the end to do something (setting up a match at next year's WM), a 25% chance of Rollins cashing in on a "tired" Lesnar and winning the belt and a 10% chance of a combination of the two (Rock coming out to confront Lesnar after he beats down Reigns, giving him the Rock Bottom and Rollins running in to cash in his briefcase).
PAC: Prior to Lesnar resigning with the WWE I was certain that Reigns was going to win, but now I am not quite sure. Do they really want to put the title on someone (RR) who very well could get booed right out of the building? If Reigns does go over I could see Rollins coming down to cash in his briefcase, but the more I think about it, the more I see Lesnar getting the W. Why have him beat Taker at last year's Mania, destroy Cena at SummerSlam, sign him to a large extension, if he isn't going to remain as champ for the foreseeable future?

Time Warner, CBS Dispute Leads to Class-Action Lawsuit
by Anthony Caruso on August 28, 2013
Time Warner customers are fed up with an ongoing dispute between the cable provider and CBS News, which recently culminated in the provider blacking out the channel for subscribers. In response, customers have filed a class-action lawsuit against Time Warner, arguing that as paying customers, the provider cannot legally black out channels they are paying for under entertainment law.
Time Warner and CBS are currently in an intense battle over programming fees after CBS requested an increase in carriage fees for its channels. The ongoing argument resulted in a two-week blackout of CBS-owned stations in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and several other service areas across the country.

Naples council against recommendation to raise tax rate; staff must cut $700,000 more
In order to balance Naples budget, city staff will have to cut $700,000.
Naples City Council on Monday directed staff to maintain the current tax rate $1.18 per $1,000 of taxable value in fiscal 2011, rather than set the tax rate at $1.23 per $1,000 of taxable value as staff recommended.
"I'm just really glad to hear this," said Councilman Gary Price, who has supported keeping the current rate. "It's the first time in five years that I've heard at least a few council members come over to the dark side (and not raise taxes)."
The decision to keep the tax rate as is means department directors need to find more than $700,000 worth of cuts.
The proposed $101.9 million budget, $34.6 million of which is in the general fund, was released last month and was balanced using a rate of $1.23 per $1,000 of taxable value.
But council members said Monday they didn't want to raise the tax rate, and instead instructed staffers to keep the current tax rate next year.
"We have a reasonable plan that doesn't effect the quality of the services," said Councilman John Sorey.
City Manager Bill Moss said he planed to talk to staff members this week and look for efficiencies. The city has to act fast, though, since City Council will hold its first budget hearing at 5:05 p.m. Sept. 1.
The city can make changes to the budget until the second, and final hearing, Moss said.
That final hearing is scheduled for Sept. 15.
Cuts were made across the board, and nearly every city department is expected to see a budget reduction in the coming fiscal year.
Moss' department is one of the few departments that will see an increased budget in the coming year. The office is requesting more than $1.13 million in fiscal 2011, which is about $131,000 more than the current fiscal year.
The decision to transfer code enforcement from the police department to the city manager's office accounts for the bulk of that increase, Moss said.
Other changes to the budget include:
■ The City Clerk's office is requesting more than $517,000 in fiscal 2011, which is about $18,000 less than the current year.
The clerk's office is working to create a city-wide records management center. That center, said City Clerk Tara Norman, will save the city $7,500 a year in rental costs.
■ The city's police department is requesting more than $10.9 in fiscal 2011. The budget is $322,000 less than the current year's budget.
Salary and wages account for more than $6 million, down $338,000 from the current year.
■ The city's fire department is requesting more than $7.8 million in fiscal 2011, a $316,000 decrease from the current year.
The department is one of the only departments in the city to add positions next year when it brings on two new firefighters.
Naples City Council will hold a budget hearing at 5:05 p.m., Sept. 1.

An international team of astronomers, led by Yale University and the University of California scientists, pushed back the cosmic frontier of galaxy exploration to a time when the universe was only 5 percent of its present age of 13.8 billion years. The team discovered an exceptionally luminous galaxy more than 13 billion years in the past and determined its exact distance from Earth using the combined data from NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, and the Keck I 10-meter telescope at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. These observations confirmed it to be the most distant galaxy currently measured, setting a new record. The galaxy existed so long ago, it appears to be only about 100 million years old.

NASA's Spitzer Spots Planet Deep Within Our Galaxy
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has teamed up with a telescope on the ground to find a remote gas planet about 13,000 light-years away, making it one of the most distant planets known.
Our Sun Came Late to the Milky Way's Star-Birth Party
Our Sun missed the stellar "baby boom" that erupted in our young Milky Way galaxy 10 billion years ago. During that time the Milky Way was churning out stars 30 times faster than it does today. Our galaxy was ablaze with a firestorm of star birth as its rich reservoir of hydrogen gas compressed under gravity, creating myriad stars. But our Sun was not one of them. It was a late "boomer," arising 5 billion years later, when star birth had plunged to a trickle.

Suspected Malaysian militants bought bomb materials for attacks in Kuala Lumpur
Published on Aug 21, 2014 1:32 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Suspected Malaysian militants loyal to the extremist Islamic State (IS) movement bought bomb-making material ahead of a proposed attack on a Carlsberg brewery near the capital Kuala Lumpur, a top anti-terrorism official said.
The plan, which the official said was at a "discussion" stage, would be the first time Southeast Asian militants inspired by the rise of IS have sought to launch a major attack at home, adding to officials' fears of a domestic "blowback" from IS expansion in Syria and Iraq.
Ayob Khan Mydin, the police counter-terrorism division's deputy chief, told Reuters that the group of 19 suspected militants had attained aluminium powder, which is often used as an ingredient in bombs.
"In terms of ideology and intention it was very clear," Ayob Khan said in an interview. "It would have been carried out."

|Wings' Henrik Zetterberg ready to fill big skates
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 14 January 2013 13:03
By LARRY LAGE
AP Hockey Writer
PLYMOUTH, Mich. (AP) - Henrik Zetterberg has some big skates to fill.
The Detroit Red Wings are expected to officially name Zetterberg their captain soon, and he's already been leading the team on the ice during practices this week.
Zetterberg deflected questions Tuesday about the honor everyone in the Motor City knows he's about to get.
He will open up only a little bit about how much he learned from former Red Wings captains Nicklas Lidstrom and Steve Yzerman. His teammates expect him to speak up more than the soft-spoken Lidstrom did.
Zetterberg will have a chance to make his own mark as the storied franchise's on-ice leader.
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock says Zetterberg will be motivated to help the team play well on his watch.

These lovely earrings from Katie Hacker made with green Swarovski crystal beads are perfect for a St. Patrick's Day party. They are pretty additions to a fancy outfit the rest of the year too, especially for a green-eyed lass.
- 6 peridot 6mm bicone Swarovksi crystal beads
- 8 peridot 4mm bicone Swarovksi crystal beads
- 2 gold ear wires
- 18" length of .015" diameter gold Beadalon 7 beading wire
- 28 gold #2 Beadalon crimp beads
- Beadstorm™ Chain Nose Pliers
- Desginer Flush Cutters
- Desginer Crimper
- To make the teardrop part of the earring: cut one 4" length of beading wire. Pass the end through a crimp bead, make a small loop and pass it back through the crimp bead. Crimp it.
- Pass the wire through the following beads: crimp, 4mm, crimp, 6mm, crimp, 6mm, crimp, 6mm, crimp, 4mm, crimp. Don't crimp any of the crimp beads yet.
- Pass the wire end through a crimp bead, make a small loop and pass it back through the crimp bead. Crimp it.
- Adjust the beads so they're in the center of the wire, then crimp the outermost crimp beads on to hold the beaded section in place.
- To make the cloverleaf shape: Cut a 5" length of beading wire. Fold it in half and pass the ends through a crimp bead; adjust it so it's ¼" from the fold. Crimp it.
- Hold the wires together and pass them through a 4mm bead and a crimp bead. Crimp it.
- Pass each wire end through a crimp bead. Bend one wire in a loop and pass it back through the crimp bead. Crimp it. Repeat this step with the other wire.
- Hold the wires together and pass them through a crimp bead, 4mm bead and a crimp bead. Crimp the crimp beads and cut off any extra wire.
- To attach the wires to the earring, open the lower loop on the ear wire. Slide one end of the long wire onto the loop, then the cloverleaf, then the other end of the long wire. Close the ear wire loop.
- Repeat Steps 1-9 to make a matching earring.
Tip: Choose beads in any shape or color for an equally dramatic effect.

Especially for Boys composed by Dennis Alexander. For Piano. Piano Collection; Piano Supplemental. Especially. Children. Late Elementary. Book. 16 pages. Published by Alfred Music (AP.18868).
ISBN 0739003976. Children.
For years, piano teachers remarked that Dennis Alexander's pieces were great for boys and suggested that he write a book of pieces with boys in mind. Drawing on his own teaching experiences, and recalling the kinds of pieces he would have liked to play at a similar age, he composed these engaging late elementary piano solos that incorporate strong rhythms, athletic leaps of the hands and big sounds. A gratifying collection for students who need a little extra motivation to practice!

Sorry for this- I've looked to buy a replacement power cable from Amazon but am so confused as there seem to be lots on there, for example the power lead i have says 250 volts but this one here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Charger-Notebook-including-compatible/dp/B004TQQ45Q/ref=sr11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1308516151&sr=1-1
says 19 volts?? There seem to be so many different price ranges, from £14.99 to £60.
Please can someone offer some advice?

Hi, Plug socket is fine.
Fuse has been changed and still the same result
can you change input lead on adaptor? -Do you mean can i disconnect the lead from the 'junction box' that is half way between the plug and the round power lead end? Yes i can.
I will have to buy a voltage tester.
Are you saying if the output is 19v then i need a new power borad/motherboard? Please explain what 'US' means after you put 'motherboard'?

You need to check the output Volts on the old mains adapter, it sounds like it needs replacing. If you have a meter plug the adapter in and put the positive prod to centre of laptop end of out put lead and black to outer of plug to see if it putting out any DC volts check your meter for settings for DC volts before testing and set it to about 20 volts scale

Steelworkers Pleased with Wisconsin Primary Results
Union Leaders Look Forward to Ending Walker's Attacks on Workers
PITTSBURGH, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The United Steelworkers (USW) today congratulated the six Wisconsin Democrats who beat Republican-backed, so-called "Protest Democrats" in primary elections throughout the state in districts where Republican incumbents will face recall elections this summer.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080131/DC12982LOGO)
"The people of Wisconsin took another major step toward reclaiming their government from the right-wing, anti-union and anti-worker special interests," said USW International President Leo W. Gerard. "Scott Walker's agenda now has an expiration date."
By forcing these primaries, Wisconsin Republicans bought about four weeks for the legislators facing recall to campaign.
USW District 2 Director Michael Bolton said the importance of next month's recall elections cannot be overstated.
"We have an opportunity now to regain control of the state senate and to put the brakes on Governor Walker's extremist agenda," Bolton said. "As a Labor community, we should be proud of what we have accomplished and continue to prepare for next month's general elections."
The USW is the largest industrial union in North America and represents workers in a broad array of industries and sectors.

You don't need flowers to fill a flower vase
More News from Anton Barretto, Marissa Lopa
Fresh flowers in a vase can brighten any room. Unfortunately, they don't come cheap and are not always readily available. Here's an idea: Go green! Instead of choosing from a variety of colors and kinds of flowers, choose from different shades and shapes of green foliage. Not only are they attractive, they're environmentally friendly, too! Here's a list of materials and helpful hints to start off your first arrangement.
Floral foam (oasis)
Measure the floral foam to fit the vase. Thoroughly soak the foam with water and place inside the vase.
Measure the branches to your desired length. Stick the branches enough to make the branches stand as upright and tall as you want.
When choosing a vase, there are no fast and hard rules.
A tight, big bunch of the same kind of foliage has a distinctive impact, as they do with flowers.
Plants with interesting characteristics make for an interesting arrangement.

ClassicsOnline Home » BRAHMS, J.: Symphony No. 2 / BRUCKNER, A.: Symphony No. 7: II. Adagio (Furtwangler, Commercial Recordings 1940-50, Vol. 7)
If the most notable trait of this 1948 recording of Brahms' Second Symphony, Furtwängler's only commercial recording of the work, is the extreme variance of tempo, the composer's characteristically restless contrast of dynamism and lyricism is nevertheless placed firmly within a framework of the clearest realisation of form and symphonic development. The orchestra is audibly galvanised by Furtwängler's interpretative flexibility, which courses at white heat throughout the work. Another considerable asset is the recording quality achieved by the engineers in one of the most sought-after venues for orchestral music in England, Kingsway Hall in London. The wartime Telefunken recording of the second movement of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony is also Furtwängler's only commercial recording of the composer's music.
By David Denton
Having been cleared of his involvement in the Nazi regime, Wilhelm Furtwangler came to London to conduct a series of concerts and recordings, including his only studio version of the Brahms Second Symphony. It was made by Decca in their new-found venue of acoustic excellence at the Kingsway Hall. They had on hand the London Philharmonic, not at the time enjoying much critical acclaim, though they do appear to have been given a new lease of life by Furtwangler. The downside was the conductor at his most egocentric, tempos pulled all over the place, phrases moulded in a purely personal mode, and the basic speeds tending towards the leisurely. I suppose it should have been committed to the waste bin, but Decca were not so well endowed with conductors in the mid 1940's as to miss out on a famous name. Now in their usual bent towards completeness, Naxos issue it as part of their Furtwangler series, and I must admit I have enjoyed moments more than I expected, though the LPO were in poor shape. The disc is completed with the slow movement from Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, the very recording broadcast by German radio after the announcement of Hitler's suicide. It was the only official Bruckner recording Furtwangler made, the Berlin Philharmonic sounding in even worse shape than the LPO. As a document it may be important to Furtwangler fans.
Great Conductors: Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886-1954)
Commercial Recordings 1940-1950, Volume 7
This particular Furtwängler recording of Brahms's Second Symphony has long had a reputation as one of his more eccentric readings. This symphony was the last work he had conducted with the Vienna Philharmonic in January 1945 before finally fleeing to Switzerland, when he was advised his own personal safety and that of his family were under threat amidst the turmoil of the last months of the war in Europe. It was also in the programme of the first concert that he conducted after the cessation of hostilities. This was at the invitation of the cellist Enrico Mainardi, a staunch friend, the Santa Cecilia Orchestra of Rome and the Teatro Comunale Orchestra of Florence. Although still not cleared by the Allied Tribunal investigating his activities in Hitler's regime in Germany, their powers did not extend to Italy at the time. Furtwängler accepted the Italian invitation and went to Rome to conduct on 6 April 1947 the concert, which also featured Beethoven's Leonora Overture No. 3 and Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony.
The publicity surrounding the event forced the issue of the artistic limbo in which Furtwängler continued to be restricted and he was formally cleared of criminal collaboration almost two years to the day after the German surrender. He gave his first post-war concert with the Berlin Philharmonic on 25 May 1947, a triumphant and affirmative all-Beethoven programme in the Titania Palast, a huge cinema that had escaped destruction in the bombing. Apart from brief visits to Stockholm and Paris, much of Furtwängler's immediate post-war conducting took place within his immediate comfort zone of German, Austrian and Swiss cities, but in February 1948 he returned to England to conduct eleven concerts with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as this studio recording of the Brahms symphony. Despite the wealth of live off-air broadcast and concert performances now available of the work, this is his only commercial recording of the Second Symphony.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra was going through one of its periods in the doldrums at the time. Having been founded by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1932, the orchestra was left rather rudderless throughout the war, after Beecham's resignation in 1940, and it was only in 1948 that the celebrated Dutch conductor Eduard van Beinum was invited to become principal conductor, a relationship that did not endure for long. Although clearly not in the same league as either the Berlin or Vienna Philharmonics of the time, the orchestra is audibly galvanised by Furtwängler and his view of the work, even if the sense of deep-rooted performance tradition and executive polish is less honed than on mainland Europe. Another considerable asset is the recording quality achieved by Decca engineers in what later became one of their signature venues, the Kingsway Hall in London.
So what of the reputation for eccentricity this performance has accrued over the years? Now that so many live broadcasts have become available, comparisons reveal much the same as in other works where we now have the advantage of access to multiple Furtwängler interpretations. Perhaps the most notable trait of the LPO recording is the extreme variances of tempo deployed throughout the work. When passions are rising, especially in the first two movements, an accelerando is sustained akin to the accelerator eventually reaching the floor before a sudden release when tensions cool. This could be heard merely as a crude trick, much the same as unsympathetic conductors perpetrated to overheat superficially the music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. But Furtwängler places the composer's characteristically restless contrast of dynamism and lyricism firmly within the framework of the clearest realisation of form and symphonic development. It may not be spelled out in the written instructions Brahms chose to append to the actual notes in his score, but it allows interpretative flexibility and the illusion of spontaneity to course at white heat through the work in Furtwängler's hands. Listening comparatively to him in several versions, these perceived extremes may vary to a degree, but they are consistently present both as a structural and emotional template.
Some other common points of note – in the second movement, the baleful trombones in the brief transition leading to the restatements of the main theme are always characterised by a strong nuance of glissando and in the finale, there is a consistently marked differentiation in tempo between the pianissimo opening and the fiery outburst that follows, just as the ensuing accelerando through the main material is relentlessly increased through to the sequence of Scottish snaps which closes the opening section.
The added wilfulness, even wildness of this particular Brahms Second Symphony may have readily stemmed from a combination of conducting a favourite work with an unfamiliar orchestra in a recently hostile environment and, having been banned from conducting, devoting much time to the composition of his own Second Symphony (Marco Polo 8.223436). In this work, Furtwängler continued to grapple with the search for order out of chaos in a style rooted in the language of his beloved Brahms and Bruckner, but transformed by his own distinctly late-Romantic vocabulary more influenced by Richard Strauss and Mahler. Here it becomes abundantly clear that Furtwängler saw himself as an inheritor, guardian and perpetuator of his mentors' musical traditions. Like Brahms's Second Symphony and Bruckner's Eighth, his own Second ends in a blazing triumph of the will, sharing finales preceded by voiceless songs of very much the same earth.
The wartime Telefunken recording of the second movement of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony is also Furtwängler's only commercial recording of the composer's music. Why was just this movement recorded? The length of the complete work may have been prohibitive in terms of cost and practicality, especially within the Germany economic framework of 1942. It was also probably the composer's most celebrated single movement in the country at the time, and known to be particularly admired by Hitler. It was this particular recording that was broadcast on German radio after the announcement of the Führer's death in 1945. In comparison with live and complete post-war Bruckner 7s, Furtwängler's performance here has an uncharacteristically dour and understated quality to it. Did he know to what use the recording might be put? Some presentiment at least would not be surprising, which may account for the unusually sombre tone. The funeral music certainly does not ring heroically true with the composer's avowed homage to Wagner. This Brucknerian soil is tilled with a bleak desolation much more representative of its recording date than of 1883.

The Google Glass and 3-D Printing are two new innovations with far-reaching consequences. Industry insiders offer their views
Let us take a moment to reflect upon the way technology has changed our lives. A scant 15 years ago, a computer powered by an Intel Pentium 2 would have been something to be proud of. Around the same time, mobile phones were a rare commodity among the populace, a luxury item. Fast forwarding a bit, another fact that seems unbelievable in a time when a smartphone occupies almost every pocket is that the first iPhone debuted only in 2007, and the first Android handset, in 2008.
It is a sign of the times that these archetypes of their kind are already rendered almost obsolete a mere few years after their release. Now among the things we take for granted are handheld devices that understand what we say and talk back, zap through webpages and user interfaces at lightning speed and pack more processing power than early supercomputers. All this makes one wonder, what is next in this technological Renaissance? And what are the consequences?
Prasanth Parameshwaran, founder of web design and development firm Apprender, believes that 3-D printing (essentially a printer that builds objects layer by layer with extreme precision using CAD drawings as reference) is going to be the start of a new epoch. "3-D printing has limitless possibilities, as it can create almost anything with just raw material and a computer generated model. The applications in medicine are particularly impressive, as specialised items for rare transplants can be created rather than wasting precious time." He cites an example where doctors at the University of Michigan created a windpipe splint for a six week old baby boy whose airways were collapsing, out of material that will be reabsorbed by his body when his respiratory system develops sufficiently.
Another popular favourite is Google Glass, a pair of wearable spectacles running Google's Android with a small heads up display mounted onto it. It is the latest invention from Google's cartoonishly named 'Google X' division, already responsible for creating driverless cars and internet beaming balloons. "Google Glass is definitely going to change the way we see the world, literally," says Pratheeksha A.K., one of the co-founders of app development company Amidray Technolgies. "The idea of a wearable device that augments reality, showing you real time information on the things you see in front of you, is amazing. There are already hoards of apps being developed for the device, and we are considering some too," she says.
However, both Prasanth and Pratheeksha offer a word of caution as well. "In light of the recent 'Prism' controversy, as well as talks about our own proposed Central Monitoring System, one has to wonder what will happen to privacy in the near future. The smartphone has already led to a decline in our privacy levels and a device like Glass in the wrong hands is a scary prospect," says Prasanth.
Pratheeksha concurs, "In a country like India, where women are already in constant fear of their privacy, such devices do raise questions, but being in the technology field, I still cannot help but be excited about its positive potential," she says.
In an interesting side note, Google Glass has already been banned in some cafes and casinos abroad, a pre-emptive measure against any issues its eventual arrival may create.
The situation is summed up rather succinctly by Prasanth, "I think as a global community we are at a crucial juncture, we have endless potential thanks to these upcoming devices, whether we use them for good or not is up to us."
