Hurray for the USA cupcakes
You can use the same methods seen with our pot o' gold cupcakes to create a patriotic red, white and blue-striped cupcake for the Fourth of July. Simply divide your white cake batter into three bowls. Leave on bowl of batter plain white, and add food coloring to the other two to create red and white layers. You'll want to divide the batter up evenly among all the cups, pouring the blue in first, then adding the plain white, then the red on top. Bake according to the box directions and voila!
Independence Day ice cream sammies
Grab two of your favorite chocolate chip cookies, place a scoop of softened ice cream in between and press together to create an ice cream sandwich. Then, roll the edges of the sandwich in a pile of red, white and blue sprinkles. You can do the same thing with a s'more—just roll the edges of the gooey marshmallow into decorative sprinkles!
Blast off! Jell-o rockets
Pick up three packages of Jell-O: One in your favorite "red" flavor (I like strawberry), one in berry blue and a third in piña colada. Follow the package directions to make the gelatin. Once each has set, cut it into small, ¼-inch blocks. Toss them in red, white and blue order into a champagne flute or tall drinking glass and serve 'em up.
Can't find piña colada? You can use whipped cream, mini marshmallows or unflavored gelatin mixed with sweetened condensed milk and water to make the white layer.
Star-spangled strawberries
Dip the largest strawberries you can find into melted white chocolate. Roll the tip in blue sugar or blue sprinkles, then place on wax paper in the refrigerator to dry. Yum! Want a chocolate-covered how-to? CLICK HERE.

- Biography
People know William Fichtner. They just don't know they know him. A compelling actor known for his strong supporting performances in film, William Fichtner started out as a soap heartthrob on CBS' "As the World Turns"; his unconventional looks (a strong boned face dominated by sad haunted eyes) contribute to his attractive intensity. His early film appearances included a role in the little seen "Ramona" (1990) and a bit part as a police officer in "Malcolm X" (1992). "Quiz Show" (1994) offered more exposure in a minor role as the game show's stage manager. In 1995, he was featured in "Virtuosity", "Strange Days" and as a sleazy banker undone by Robert De Niro in "Heat". He gave a more significant, although less seen, performance in Steven Soderburgh's 1995 feature "The Underneath" as Tommy Dundee, an intimidating and unstable club owner who becomes a rival of Peter Gallagher's Michael Chambers. Fichtner's work as the jealous and powerful Dundee caught the attention of casting director David Rubin who recommended him to Kevin Spacey for "Albino Alligator", the actor's 1997 directorial debut. While undoubtedly already a familiar presence on screen, due to his prolific and strong performances in small parts, it was "Albino Alligator" that proved to be his breakthrough role. Fichtner, riveting as a slurring sociopath who creates a hostage situation in a bar, played up the character's volatility with an intense performance that masterfully stopped short of overacting. Later that year his well-researched turn as Dr Kent Clark, a blind astronomer in "Contact" was also touted, although a good bit of it ended up on the cutting room floor. While his work in that year's "SwitchBack" was less memorable, 1998's action blockbuster "Armageddon" saw him return with a strong supporting turn as the hard-nosed and disciplined leader of an asteroid destroying mission. Through his own research, Fichtner added a realistic element to his character, making Sharp less combustible than he was initially written. The result was a portrait of an Air Force colonel complete with the steadiness that would be expected from an actual pilot to reach that level. In 1999, Fichtner gave an enjoyable and scene stealing comedic performance in Doug Liman's high-energy ensemble film "Go". The elder statesman of the cast, he played an undercover narcotics officer with an apparent personal interest in his cohorts (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf). The actor reached leading man status with a 1999 performance opposite Demi Moore in "Passion of Mind", playing a New York accountant pursuing a book editor (Moore) in this story of a woman who discovers she has a second life in a parallel universe. In 2001, in "The Perfect Storm" he plays a defiant macho fisherman turned hero with a heart who answers to George Clooney. As in all of his roles, his appearance changes yet again and his speech is even peppered with a New England accent. Also in 2001, in the otherwise forgettable "What's The Worst That Could Happen", Fichtner gave the best performance of all of the other well known comedians in the film, playing Detective Alex Tardio, the swishy, androgynous cop and the owner of three cheese cutting Bichon Frise canines. Also in 2001, William starred in the film, "Black Hawk Down", where he played Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Sanderson. While it could have been difficult to recognize his character from the rest with all of the war dirt (look for the big white teeth that glow like two headlights), his work in this was outstanding. He trained for weeks in Fort Bragg with other actors in the film to prepare for realistic combat scenes and spent 12 weeks filming in Morocco.moreless

Quotes (13)
Fichtner: (On Stephen King praising Prison Break and his acting) I know, that was pretty sweet, huh? I had my wife go get a couple of copies so I could send them to my mother. You know, the first thing I thought, I've been such a Stephen King fan for so long. I mean, I love The Shining the movie, but the book is – is where it's at and it's nice. It's always nice to be complimented.
Fichtner: Sometimes a director will say something that will inspire you and take you to a new place, and there is nothing I enjoy more than that.
Interviewer: They have the option to bring you back for next season. Any word on whether that's going to happen? Fichtner: They do have that option, but I haven't gotten that phone call yet. I'll tell you something - if they decide to exercise that option, so be it. It would be my pleasure to come back. I've never had that feeling with a television experience before.
TVGuide.com: Well, The Fugitive lasted five seasons. Do you think Prison Break has the legs to make it that long? Fichtner: That's interesting. You know, when you start off with a show called Prison Break, it better be about one thing. They got that done. The second season they're on the run. So the second season is like The Fugitive. What will the third season be about? I don't know. But it's not a formula show, and it doesn't have to follow any pattern, so who knows?
Interviewer: Recently Mahone has been the focus of an FBI Internal Affairs investigation, on top of trying to track down the remaining fugitives. Do you look forward to playing a guy under an intense amount of pressure, or is it pretty exhausting? Fichtner: It's not exhausting at all. It's absolutely welcome. It's what makes the journey worth it. In the beginning, when I read the first two episodes last summer after deciding to do it, it wasn't about being the FBI guy chasing the fugitives. That does very little for me. What's interesting is all the other stuff, the internal conflicts and what's happening in his life and with his family, that's what makes it work. Characters who have more than one plate spinning are the most fun to play.

No one wants to see this acerbic chef-turned-TV star deliver the news, which in theory was the threat in shifting from the Travel Channel to CNN. Still, this show takes the best of Bourdain ¿ his filter-free yet earnest attempts to understand other cultures ¿ and frees him from the fluff of exotic food porn. His visit to Copenhagen's Noma was illuminating, but even more so were his trips into troubled Libya, Colombia and the Congo.

The Cowboy Next Door

Lacey, when are you going to go out with me?" Bobby Fynn hollered from across the dining room of the Hash-It-Out Diner.
"Maybe next week," Lacey called back as she refilled an empty coffee cup, smiling at her customer, an older woman with curly black hair and a sweet smile.
"Come on, Lacey, you can't keep turning me down."
Lacey smiled and shook her head, because Bobby wasn't serious, and she wasn't interested.
"Ignore him," Marci, the hostess, whispered as Lacey walked past.
Lacey shot her friend a smile. "He doesn't bother me. I'll be back in a minute. I need to get a pitcher of water."
She hurried to the waitress station, set the glass coffeepot on the warming tray, and grabbed the pitcher of ice water. The cowbell over the door clanged, announcing the arrival of another customer. She hustled around the corner, pretending her feet weren't blistered and her back wasn't aching from the double shifts she'd worked for the last week.
If it wasn't for the perfect piece of land she wanted to buy
Two strong hands grabbed her arms, stopping her mid-stride and preventing a near collision. The pitcher of ice water she'd carried out of the waitress station sloshed, soaking her shirt. She looked up, muttering about clumsiness and met the dark gaze of Officer Jay Blackhorse.
Gorgeous, he was definitely gorgeous. Tall with black hair and brown eyes. All cowboy. Allrugged and sure of himself. But not her type. He'd been back in Gibson, Missouri, for a month now, and she already had him figured out. He was too serious, not the kind of customer who chatted with a waitress, and she was fine with the knowledge that they weren't going to be best friends.
Several men called out, offering him a chair at their table, as Lacey moved out of his grasp. Not only was he the law, his family also raised cattle and horses. He hadn't lived in Gibson for the last seven or eight years, but he still fit in on so many levels that Lacey didn't know how he could do it all.
She was still trying to find something other than round holes for her square-peg self.
She was the girl from St. Louis who had showed up six years ago with a broken-down car, one hundred dollars and the dream of finding a new life.
Jay waved at the men who called out to him, but he didn't take them up on their offers to sit. Instead, he took hold of Lacey's arm and moved her toward the door.
"Lacey, I need to talk to you outside."
"Sure." Of course, not a problem.
She set the pitcher of ice water on a table and followed him to the door, trying hard not to remember her other life, the life that had included more than one trip in the back of a police car.
It would have been a waste of breath to tell Jay she wasn't that person any more. He didn't know her.
He didn't know what it had been like to grow up in her home, with a family that had fallen apart before she could walk. Jay had a mom who baked cookies and played the piano at church. Lacey's mom had brought home boyfriends for herself and her daughters.
Instead of protesting, Lacey shot Jay a disgusted lookas if it didn't matterand exited the diner at his side. When they were both outside, she turned on him, pushing down her pain and reaching for the old Lacey, the one who knew how to handle these situations.
"What's this all about, Blackhorse? Is it 'humiliate the waitress day' and someone nominated me to get the prize?"
He shook his head and pointed to his car. "Sorry, Lacey, but I didn't know what else to do with her."
The back door of the patrol car opened.
Lacey watched the young woman step out with a tiny baby in her arms and a so what look on her face. Jay's strong hand gripped Lacey's arm, holding her tight as she drew in a deep breath and tried to focus. She pulled her arm free because she wasn't about to fall.
Or fall apart.
Even at twenty-two Corry still looked drugged-out, antsy and on the verge of running. Her dark eyes were still narrowed in angeras if the world had done her wrong. The thrust of her chin told everyone she would do what she wanted, no matter whom it hurt.
Jay stood next to Lacey, his voice low. "She said she hitched a ride to Gibson and that she's your sister."
Lacey wanted to say that it wasn't true and that she didn't have a sister. She wanted to deny she knew the young woman with the dirty black hair and a baby in her arms.
The baby cried and Lacey made eye contact with Corry.
"She's my sister," Lacey said, avoiding Jay's gaze.
"Thanks for claiming me." Corry smacked her gum, the baby held loosely against her shoulder, little arms flailing. The loose strap of Corry's tank top slid down her shoulder, and her shorts were frayed.
Lacey sighed.
"I don't have to leave her here." Jay pulled sunglasses from his pocket and slid them on, covering melted-chocolate eyes. The uniform changed him from the cowboy that sat with the guys during lunch to someone in authority.
Lacey nodded because he did have to leave Corry. What else could he do? What was Lacey going to do? Deny her sister? The Samaritan had cared for the man on the side of the road, a man he didn't know. And Lacey knew Corry.
"She can stay. I'm off duty in thirty minutes."
"Do you have to make it sound like the worst thing in the world?" Corry handed Lacey the baby and turned to pick up the backpack that Jay had pulled from the trunk of his car.
Lacey looked at the infant. The baby, Corry's baby, was dressed in pink and without a single hair on her head. She was beautiful.
"Her name's Rachel." Corry tossed the information like it didn't matter. "I heard that in a Bible story at the mission we've been living in. We couldn't stay there, though. We need a real home."
A real home? The one-room apartment that Lacey rented from the owners of the Hash-It-Out was hardly a home fit for three.
She inhaled a deep breath of air that smelled like the grill inside the diner, and the lunch special of fried chicken. Corry and a baby. Family meant something. Lacey had learned that in Gibson, not in the home she grew up in. Now was the time to put it into practice. She could tell her sister to leave, or she could be the person who gave Corry a chance.
Like the people of Gibson had done for her.
But what if Corry ruined everything? Lacey tucked that fear away, all the while ignoring the imposing Officer Blackhorse in his blue-and-gray uniform, gun hanging at his side.
"You know, you two could help me," Corry tossed over her shoulder as she dug around in the back seat of the patrol car. "I haven't eaten since this morning. And then I get here and you aren't even glad to see me."
Continuous jabber. Lacey tuned it out, nodding in what she hoped were the appropriate places. She held Corry's baby close and took the car seat that Jay had pulled out of his car. His gaze caught and held hers for a moment, and his lips turned in a hesitant smile that shifted the smooth planes of his face. Jay with his perfect life and his perfect family.
She didn't want to think about what he thought when he looked at her and her sister.
"Need anything?" Jay took a step back, but he didn't turn away.
She shrugged off the old feelings of inadequacy and turned to face her sister. Corry shifted from foot to foot, hugging herself tight with arms that were too thin and scarred from track marksevidence of her drug use.
"Lacey?" Jay hadn't moved away and she didn't know what to say.
Lacey Gould's dark, lined eyes were luminous with unshed tears. Jay hadn't expected that reaction from the waitress who always had a comeback. He held a grudging admiration for her because she never slowed down.
And he knew her secrets, just as he knew that her sister had prior arrests. Corry Gould had two drug convictions and one charge of prostitution. She was a repeat offender. A simple run through the state system was all it took to find out if a person had a criminal record. In Lacey's case, the Gibson police chief had filled him in. Jay hadn't been sure if it had been gossip or serious concern for his parents. They had spent a lot of time with Lacey Gould in his absence.
His parents hadn't appreciated his concern, though. They knew all about Lacey's arrest record, and they knew who she was now. That was good enough for them.
He'd been a cop for too long to let it be good enough for him.
Lacey shifted next to him, the baby fussing.
She was slight in build, but not thin. Her brown eyes often flashed with humor and she had a mouth that smiled as much as it talked. He tried to ignore the dark hair, cut in a chunky style and highlighted with streaks of red.
For the moment her energy and feistiness were gone. He couldn't leave her like that.
"Lacey, I can take her to the station," Jay offered, knowing she wouldn't accept. She scraped leftovers from plates at the diner to feed stray cats; he doubted she would turn away her sister and that baby.
Corry moved closer to Lacey. The younger sister had the baby now, holding the infant in one arm and the dingy backpack in the other. Her eyes, blue, rather than Lacey's dark brown, shimmered with tears.
Lacey was motionless and silent, staring at her sister and the baby.
"I have to take the baby somewhere, Lace. The guy who dropped me off at the city limits was going south, way south. I don't have a way back to St. Louis."
"I'm not going to turn my back on you, Corry. But as long as you're here, you have to stay clean and stay out of trouble."
"If it helps, I checked her bag and she doesn' t have anything on her." Jay could tell when Lacey bit down on her bottom lip and studied her sister that this information didn't really help.
He shrugged because he didn't know what else to do. The two sisters were eyeing one another, the baby was fussing and his radio squawked a call. He stepped away from the two women and answered the county dispatcher.
"Sorry, I have to run, but if you need anything" he handed Lacey a card with his cell phone number "I'm just a phone call away."
"Thanks, Jay. We'll be fine." She took the card and shoved it into her pocket without looking at him.
"That's fine, but just in case." He shifted his attention to her sister. He had a strong feeling that Corry wasn't really here looking for a place to start over.
As he got into his patrol car and looked back, he saw Lacey standing on the sidewalk looking a little lost. He'd never seen that look on her face before, like she wasn't sure of her next move.
He brushed off the desire to go back. He knew he couldn't help her. Lacey was a force unto herself, independent and determined. He was pretty sure she didn't need him, and more than positive he didn't want to get involved.
Lacey watched Jay Blackhorse drive away before turning to face Corry again. The front door of the diner opened and Lacey's boss, Jolynn, stepped outside.
"Honey, if you need to take off early, go ahead. We can handle it for thirty minutes without you." Jolynn smiled at Corry.
Lacey wished she could do the same. She wished that seeing her sister here didn't make her feel as if her life in Gibson was in danger.
"I can stay." Lacey picked up the backpack that Corry had tossed on the ground.
"No, honey, I insist. Go home." Jolynn patted her arm. "Take your sister on up to your place and get her settled."
Lacey closed her eyes and counted to ten. She could do this. "Okay, thank you. I'll grab my purse. But if you need "
"We don't need. You're here too much as it is. It won't hurt you to go home a few minutes early."
Lacey stepped back inside the cool, air-conditioned diner with Jolynn, and pretended people weren't staring, that they weren't whispering and looking out the window at her sister.
She pretended it didn't bother her. But it did. It bothered her to suddenly become the outsider again, after working so hard to gain acceptance. It bothered her that Jay Blackhorse never looked at her as though she belonged.
Jolynn gave her a light hug when she walked her to the door. "You're a survivor, Lacey, and you'll make it through this. God didn't make a mistake, bringing that young woman to you."
Lacey nodded, but she couldn't speak. Jolynn smiled and opened the door for her. Lacey walked out into the hot July day. Corry had taken a seat on the bench and she stood up.
"Ready?" Lacey picked up her sister's bag.
"Where's your car?"
"I walk to work."
"We have to walk?"
Lacey took off, letting Corry follow along behind her. Her sister mumbled and the baby whimpered in the infant seat. Lacey glanced back, the backpack and diaper bag slung over her shoulder, at her sister who carried the infant seat with the baby.
As they walked up the long driveway to the carriage-house apartment Lacey had lived in for over six years, Corry mumbled a little louder.
Lacey opened the door to her apartment and motioned her sister inside. The one room with a separate bathroom and a walk-in closet was less than five hundred square feet. Corry looked around, clearly not impressed.
"You've been living in a closet." Corry smirked. "And I thought you were living on Walton's Mountain."
Ignore it. Let it go. Push the old Lacey aside. "I think you should feed the baby."
"Ya think? So now you're a baby expert."
The old Lacey really wanted to speak up and say something mean. The new Lacey smiled. "I'm not an expert."
Corry had done nothing but growl since they'd left the diner. Obviously she needed a fix. And she wasn't going to get one.
"Is there another room?"
"No, there isn't. We'll make do here until I can get something else." Lacey looked around the studio apartment that had been her home since she'd arrived in Gibson.
The home she would have to give up if Corry stayed in Gibson. Starting over again didn't feel good. The baby whimpered. A six-week-old child, dependent on the adults in her life to make good choices for her.
Starting over for a baby. Lacey could do that. She would somehow make it work. She would do her best to help Corry, because that meant the baby had a chance.
Corry tossed her backpack into a corner of the room and dumped the baby, crying and working her fist in her mouth, onto the hide-a-bed that Lacey hadn't put up that morning.
Lacey lifted the baby to her shoulder and rubbed the tiny back until she quieted. Corry had walked to the small kitchen area and was rummaging through the cabinets.
"You know, Corry, since you're here, wanting a place to live, maybe you should try being nice."
"I am being nice." Corry turned from the cabinets and flashed a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "And your boyfriend is cute."
"He isn't my boyfriend." Lacey walked across the room, the baby snuggling against her shoulder. She couldn't let her sister bait her. She couldn't let her mind go in that direction, with Jay Blackhorse as the hero that saved the day. "Corry, if you're going to be here, there are a few rules."
"Rules? I'm not fourteen anymore."
"No, you're not fourteen, but this is my house and my life that you've invaded."
Lacey closed her eyes and tucked the head of the baby against her chin, soft and safe. Be fair, she told herself. "I'm sorry, Corry, I know you need a place for the baby."
"I need a place for myself, too."
"I know that, and I'm willing to help. But I have to know that you're going to stay clean. You can't play your games in Gibson."
Corry turned, her elfin chin tilted and her eyes flashing anger. "You think you're so good, don't you, Lacey? You came to a small town where you pretend to be someone you're not, and suddenly you're too good for your family. You're afraid that I'm going to embarrass you."
"I'm not too good for my family. And it isn't about being embarrassed." It was about protecting herself, and the people she cared about.
It was about not being hurt or used again. And it was about keeping her life in order. She had left chaos behind when she left St. Louis.
"You haven't been home in three years." Corry shot the accusation at her, eyes narrowed.
No, Lacey hadn't been home. That accusation didn't hurt as much as the one about her pretending to be someone she wasn't.
Maybe because she hoped if she pretended long enough, she would actually become the person she'd always believed she could be. She wouldn't be the girl in the back of a patrol car, lights flashing and life crumbling. She wouldn't be the young woman at the back of a large church, wondering why she couldn't be loved without it hurting.
She wouldn't be invisible.
Lacey shifted the fussing baby to one side and grabbed the backpack and searched for something to feed an infant. She found one bottle and a half-empty can of powdered formula.
"Feed your daughter, Corry.

Absolutely AmazingReviewed on 9/06/2012 Janelle L
Jennifer has a true talent. Every piece of floral at my wedding was even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Her prices are comparable to other vendors, and she was able to work with my modest budget to put together a beautiful ceremony, including the most gorgeous twig arch. She greatly exceeded my expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services for your special day.
I loved !! working with you and the ceremony was so much fun to do with the branch inspiration and chandelier!! Can't wait fo rthe photos!!! xoxo, jen
wedding floralsReviewed on 6/26/2012 nina c
I only give her 4 stars becuase her service was subpar to her pricing. We had few glitches a week before the wedding that could have turned out to be a disaster but she did not seem to keen on fixing it until our wedding planner got involved.
Gorgeous Work!Reviewed on 11/25/2011 Rachel G
Jennifer is one of the very best florist in SD! She worked with my budget and made my wedding and reception look stunning! It was such a pleasure working with her. I still have friends and family approach me and tell me how beautiful the flowers are my wedding were. Thanks Jennifer!
Jennifer Cole Florals - FloristReviewed on 10/16/2011 Maria C
Jennifer is very talented and passionate about her work. During our initial visit, we explained our vision and colors for the wedding. After our meeting, we were confident we were in good hands. I never previewed the flowers until the wedding day and Brian and I were pleasantly surprised.
Love Jennifer Cole FloralsReviewed on 8/04/2011 Julia B
Our flowers were amazing!! She has an amazing vision and she will work with you according to budget and what you want. She listens to what you want. We rented lanterns and candlesticks from her as well. All of her staff is friendly, knowlegeable, prompt, and just overall great. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and use you again for any other future events.
FlowersReviewed on 11/08/2010 Colene T
Jennifer was great with what we wanted for our wedding. The flowers came out beautiful and went well with our color scheme. Although we had told her we had a set budget for flowers and her quote was three times more than that, we did work it out and everything came out great.
Jennifer Cole is incredible!Reviewed on 11/04/2010 Joni M
Jennifer Cole is absoultey incredible! Her service for our wedding went way above and beyond my expectations. She walked us through every detail and made sure each request was met with perfection! My ceremony and recpetion was a dream come true...the flroal arrangements and details were beautiful and of the highest quality. Some of the arrangements we took home were still freshly waiting for us when we returned from our honeymoon weeks later! The best thing about Jennifer Cole is her creativity and true genuine care to make your wedding the most spectacular event of your dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any of my friends and family!! She's the best there is in San Diego...without the out of this world prices!
AMAZING flowersReviewed on 11/02/2010 Kristin B
The florals at our wedding were beyond anything I could have dreamed of. Jennifer's creative and professional expert insight into matching our vision and feelings of our day were dead on. The flowers themselves were of such high quality and held up beautifully. I'm still getting compliments! If you want to have one less thing to worry about on your wedding day, I would highly recommend Jennifer Cole.
LIsa WReviewed on 11/02/2010 Lisa W
Jennifer was awesome. Creative, good value, thoughtful and did not make me feel bad about any thing I was thinking or hoping for (believe it or not several other potential florists did). On the wedding day I was floored by how beautiful she made everything. I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer Cole Florals. The best. BOOK HER you will not regret it.
Beautiful and Creative FloralsReviewed on 10/12/2010 Lori U
Jennifer created my wedding flowers in 2006. I loved my flowers so much that 4 years later I still rave about them! Jen worked with my style and color scheme, and added in her professional flair to deliver beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres that were ultimately my favorite detail from my wedding day. Being in the wedding industry myself (wedding photographer), I see lots of "pretty" flowers. However, there's nothing better than true style and quality.
Jennifer Cole goes above and beyondReviewed on 7/06/2010 Amanda B
We were so happy with out choice to work with Jennifer. From our consultation to the wedding day, Jennifer was extremely professional, yet very helpful and willing to work together on ideas. She is extremely talented and creative and really adds to the look and feel of your wedding. Her flowers, small touches, accent pieces, and arrangements are absolutely gorgeous. When I saw the reception and ceremony site, I almost cried because it looked exactly how I wanted, but was even better than I could have imagined. Jennifer Cole Florals exceeded my expectations and added creative flare and sophistication to my wedding! Thank you Jennifer!

Sex Scene and Prostitution
Prostitution is kind of legal in Spain, the truth is that prostitution exists in a legal vacuum. Sex workers are not penalized, instead the pimps are the ones who are punished. With 90% of prostitutes in Spain said to be illegal immigrants, brought into Spain through illegal human trafficking, the circumstances of many prostitutes leave them in legal limbo.

Red Light Districts
Hookers in Malaga have been 'given' an area where they can ply their trade without police interference. The plot of land, which is in the same area of the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate in Malaga where they currently work, does not breach municipal regulations. Malaga City Hall is improving the plot by fixing up access routes and installing bins, so everything points to a definitive solution for the city's 'prostitutes'. A local made it illegal for them to carry out their activities within 200 metres from schools, homes or businesses. In the months following the new laws, many prostitutes complained they were being "persecuted" by police and "given no alternatives".
The women, many of them living in Spain illegally, have created the Association for Women, Transsexuals, Transvestites and Sex Workers in Spain, the first of its kind in Malaga Province. They intend to request grants to provide hygiene facilities and condoms, as well as carrying out talks and training courses which can help to get them off the streets. Malaga City hall has already approved a programme to improve the conditions of women working in the sex trade, with a budget of €350,000.
Prostitutes and Sex Workers
There are prostitutes in Malaga from different parts of the world. Working girls are for example from many different countries of Europe, Africa and South America.
The city hall has said that it opposes the suggestion from a Malaga residents' association that prostitutes should be encouraged to practise their profession on a site in the area known as Arraijanal, not far from Plaza Mayor and Guadalmar. The Centro Sur residents' association had suggested the site near Plaza Mayor as an alternative for the prostitutes now working on the industrial estate and in the central Alameda de Colón, and adjacent streets, where they would not risk fines from the police. The new bylaw penalises offering or soliciting sexual relations within 200 metres of homes, schools or businesses. Neither do the prostitutes themselves like the idea of Arraijanal as it is an area of wasteland not far from the beach and they believe it to be more dangerous.
Street Hookers
Some town halls prefer to 'tolerate' street prostitution and simply remove it from the city centre, as is the case in Malaga where prostitutes operate on an industrial estate where there are numerous brothels near to the airport. It is the same with other towns and cities who prefer the attitude of 'out of sight, out of mind'. However, Malaga's move is causing concern amongst groups that work with prostitutes. They say that there are few votes to be won by trying to resolve prostitution and there is still a long way to go to bring forward any serious proposals to deal with it.
You can find street walkers in Malaga from these areas:
- Guadalhorce industrial estate.
Strip Clubs & Lap Dance
Because there are many tourists in Malaga, you have to be very careful when visiting strip bars as scams happen where the tourists are. Never go to the nude bars when you are too drunk or you may end up getting a big bill.

Luckily there are also many independent escorts and masseuse girls who provide erotic massage in Malaga.

There are many pretty transexuals in Malaga. Some of the Malaga t-girls work independently and some work for the escort agencies. These TS/TV/TG or CD girls usually want minimum of 100 € for sex. Tranny street hookers are not common in Malaga, but on the weekends you may find some from the street prostitution areas. Just be careful with them.

Malaga is an important city port and in the top 5 most visited Spanish city by tourists. The capital of the Costa Del Sol and a busy business centre, Malaga is always high on the list for Mediterranean cruises. Its a city that attracts tourists from all over the world and with it, wealth. Its a place to be seen and a place where every pleasure can be enjoyed with relative ease and anonymity, in comparison to other European cities. Malaga escorts are beautiful, glamorous and there are several high class escort agencies that provide outstanding 24h escort services. Many of the best escort services in Malaga can be found by looking up Marbella escort services - who often provide 24h escort services from Sotogrande in the East of the Costa Del Sol and as far as Malaga in the West. If you are looking for high quality, professional escorts in Malaga, then Marbella escort agencies are a good place to start.
There are many independent escorts that also operate in the Malaga area. The majority of these models speak only Spanish and it is often difficult to rely on published photos. But websites like MundoAnuncio and MilAnuncios is a good place to start. One English Escort in the Costa del Sol is Stephanie Elite.
Escort agencies in Spain have sometimes been accused of using fake photos or a generic photo for 3 or 4 similar models. However, professional standards have been raised significantly in recent years and with modern technology available to clients like Google's reverse image search it now makes it difficult for agencies to be fast and loose with the truth. VIP Escorts Spain is a good of example of a modern escort services website, with covereage in Malaga, that boast a selection of VIP escorts with REAL photos. They are also two of only a handful of escort services that have both English and Spanish telephone operators.
There are many good GFE hotels in Malaga and most hotels are cheap or average prices. There are also many apartments available for rent.
Stay Safe
Watch out the pickpocketing and street vendors who are trying to sell you knock offs at the night time.

Release Date:
January 23, 2007
Now this was a little pretentious: a pop artist never before even attempting a classical crossover project, beginning her album and live show The Showgirl Homecoming Live with a classical overture. This album was recorded on the first night of her world tour in Sydney and after the classical intro, off went the album, as did the show, with a string of her greatest hits, "Better the Devil You Know," "In Your Eyes," a new song written by the Scissor Sisters, "White Diamond," "On a Night Like This," and "Spinning Around." Minogue has had a lot of hits and it was hardly surprising that The Showgirl Homecoming Live album was filled with them, rather than anything new or innovative, for it was essentially a live version of her Ultimate Kylie album that she began taking to the road just as illness struck and the tour had to be canceled. Back on the road, having recovered and having remembered to incessantly thank her fans for standing by her during her illness and sending messages of support, the tour was a great success with Minogue doing what she did best, disco-pop with a twist of cheese and a lot of glitzy, glamorous costume changes and dancing til she dropped. But of course apart from the atmosphere of the concert, the cheering and general whooping it up by the audience, none of this was available on the CD; it would have to wait for a DVD or video of the show to capture the full excitement of what it would have been like to be there. For example, all the business with space and science fiction during the encore was totally lost apart from some sound effects. So making do with just the music, you get a live greatest hits with a few extra surprises, like the merging of "I Should Be so Lucky" into the song that beat it for the honor of best-selling single of 1988, Yazz's "The Only Way Is Up," and the medley of "Burning Up" with "Vogue," one of Madonna's biggest hits and the only serious contender for the longevity of her Pop Queen crown, and Bono joining her on-stage to sing the Robbie Williams part on "Kids." Most of the set was devoted her body of work in the 21st century with only three tracks from her wilderness years of the '90s, "Better the Devil You Know," "Confide in Me," and "Shocked," which was part of a first half medley and near to the end of disc two, Minogue reminded the audience of her '80s days as a fledgling soap star turned pop star with three early hits -- "Locomotion." performed as a smoky blues number, "I Should Be So Lucky," and "Hand on Your Heart" -- and then moving up to date again with her biggest ever single, "Can't Get You out of My Head," although at the time of this release, that song was six years old and could hardly be called up to date. The album hit the charts on a very quiet week early in January 2007 peaking at number seven, but within four weeks it was gone. To end the show, she performed a solo version of her duet "Especially for You" and another more recent track, "Love at First Sight." Minogue will continue to have hit singles and albums because the public loves her whatever she does, but this album did nothing to enhance her reputation or add to her impressive catalog.

Nice one.
The thing with rehashing old brilliant rides, and paying homage to the Monuments (and their little siblings – I particularly like the sound of Bays-Bastogne-Bays) is that it gets newbies who are starting to think "there's a certain something about this sport that I think I might like" to see some of the basis for why the rest of us are all mad about the sport.
Last week there was a documentary in Australia on Stuie O'Grady's Roubaix win from a few years ago. I am working with pro sportsmen in a completely different sport, and it was gratifying that those who saw it raved about Roubaix for the remainder of the week, and a good number of them stayed up late and watched the race. One of the team leaders is sourcing a copy of the documentary to show the rest of the team so they can think about hardness, fighting and never giving up. We're going to see what we do about getting the boys to have a chat to Stuie when he's next in Aus for a decent period.
Obviously this is an oft-rehashed tale in Australia, and by the rationale of some is thus not worthy of mentioning, but it has brought a group of newbies to an awareness of the beauty of the sport of cycling, and an appreciation of just how tough a sport it can be.
We use the shining examples to remember what our sport is like at it's best.
Looked like a great day… question though: in photo No. 22, the dude is wearing a cap with Rule #5 on it… isn't it written upside down?.. shouldn't it be a constant reminder to himself, lurking just there in the periphery of his vision when it really starts to hurt? You mention 'beware of cheap imitations'… this should include unofficial, knock-off Sacred Garments (and accessories)
Nice one Bretto. Looks like a good ride and something I would enjoy.
I went out on Sunday morning with a group of 60 odd other riders for the second Melbourne Gravel Grinders CX ride as a warm-up to the Queen of the Classics that night. 3 hrs on gravel roads up in the Dandenong ranges through forest gravel roads with a bunch of mad keen mountain bikers and 'crossers.
If anyone is interested some pics can be found on the blog here: http://melbournegravelgrinders.blogspot.com/. The guys that run it plan to hold them every 2 months here.
As for cobbled riding I'll do a write up later in June after the 6th edition of the Melbourne Roobaix is held – we ride about 15 odd ks worth of cobbles through the back alleys of Melbourne and finish at Brunswick outdoor velodrome. The winner also gets a piece of cobblestone mounted on a plaque presented in the pub.
How that will not be repeated I do not understand. Looks to me like the day had every ingredient of awesome. Good turn out, nice weather, gorgeous place, epic ride, Velominati everywhere, end of season fitness, beer, the list goes on. Very nice, it would have been splendid indeed to have been there.
Oli Brooke-White:
Not to mention that the cap brim being up is a flagrant Rule violation. And if it's not it should be!
Mate your little picture has the cap brim flipped up.
the Great Merckx might also disagree with you.
Wow, the photos make me very eager to get back to NZ sometime soon. Ride looked like a good time.
Rode on Sunday with just one friend. I was in no shape for anything serious after waking up at 7:00 and drinking beer during the race.
Saturday though thought I was heading out for an hour or two. Ended up riding with one friend, and meeting another dude, and riding for four hours. The new guy I met is possibly the biggest and coolest cycling enthusiast I've ever encountered. He's twenty years older than me and even more stoked on cycling than I am; I hope I grow up to be like him someday!
Looked like a great day… question though: in photo No. 22, the dude is wearing a cap with Rule #5 on it… isn't it written upside down?
Writing it upside down makes it HARDER to read, thus you're laying out even more of The V just to remind yourself to HTFU.
@Brett: Awesome pictures and write-up. I'm assuming you're being a little cheeky when you say it'll be the last one. Seems like a good time, and it certainly makes me want to go and explore gravel riding on my road bike. I've ran into sections on rides where they are re-grading country roads, so you have to do a few miles in some nice gravel, but nothing so serious that 23mm road tires couldn't handle it.
As a bit of a laugh on my ride last Friday, I spotted two alley-ways that were "unimproved" roads with just dirt and gravel, so of course I rode over them in preparation for watching the race on Sunday. I even passed a guy working on an old BMW behind his house who gave me a funny look. Not quite the Paris-Roubaix…
Oli Brooke-White:
Sorry to hear though that I'll not get the chance to make it along next year – missing it was the big disappointment of my recovery.
I'm assuming you're being a little cheeky when you say it'll be the last one.
No need to fret Oli, McSqueak is onto it. Just having a little dig at our friend Adrian, I mean Stefan, after his declaration that anything 're-hashed' is of no value to our enjoyment of life.
News for you Stefan; bike photography, it's been done, mate. Riding? Ditto. But I'm gonna keep riding, and Welli-Roubaix (and the other Classics mentioned) will be back next year. And the year after, and…
*On Monday morning a throng gathered at Leuven Belgian Beer Bar in downtown Welly, and we witnessed the Queen on a delayed telecast. No-one was silly enough to yell out the result, although G-phant knew who'd won he held his tongue and enjoyed the spectacle again with us.
We raised $220 for Papanui and Pegasus cycle clubs in Christchurch, so a big thanks to all who donated and made it a great way to start the week. Thanks to Todd at Leuven also.
We don't have cobble stones in my neck of the woods but Sunday after the race I did a solo ride over some harsh tarmac. Ended up with 2 flats, second being 16km from home with no way to repair. had to walk 3km in The Red Damsels before I got a ride from a stranger. rode a total of 77km.
Oli Brooke-White:

Yes, but not under a helmet wtf!?!
Frank – Great Video looked like some nasty steep little climbs there, good work to jim for getting a win for cyclists VS vehicles hopefully a nice little shifter scratch up the door panel for good measure.
God Dam those V kits look PRO!
Jim is all about Rule violations. It's very stressful, but it's also a good reminder for me to keep my shit together. And @RedRanger, it was plenty cold. Knee warmers, caps, LS jerseys, shoe covers. Very Belgian. Dan, the other guy with us, we very concerned about being on film for fear of being cited on his violations. I said, "No sweat dude. First off, you're fairly compliant, and second, you're nothing compared to Jim!"
I think the saddle bag is what set off his balance and caused his first crash…
@Oli Brooke-White
We've covered this before. Only Phillipe Gilbert is cool enough to pull that one off; no brims up under helmets. Very unsightly.
@Scuba Steve
There were some marks on the truck, but Fords have amazingly resilient paint jobs! We rubbed it all off and it was left in as-good-as-new state, plus a polite note apologizing and letting them know how to get in touch with us…by getting on their bikes and riding to catch us!
Looks like an excellent day Brett! Well supported and congrats on the fund raising efforts as well.
Thanks for the post. Too funny.
I was doing a little research on cynicism, often having that label applied to moi and not always sure if that was actually right. On reading of the true nature of a cynic, I feel that the Adrian 's of the world could benefit from their teachings and that the Velominati do practice some of their belief's namely –
The Cynic way of life required continuous training, not just in exercising one's judgments and mental impressions, but a physical training as well:
[Diogenes] used to say, that there were two kinds of exercise: that, namely, of the mind and that of the body; and that the latter of these created in the mind such quick and agile impressions at the time of its performance, as very much facilitated the practice of virtue; but that one was imperfect without the other, since the health and vigour necessary for the practice of what is good, depend equally on both mind and body
Oli Brooke-White :
Yes, but not under a helmet wtf!?!
PhilGil at Lombardy last year = brim up under helmet is cool. Helps if weather is apocolyptic and you solo it in ahead of the handful of other finishers who haven't pulled the pin and gone home for an early shower.
@Oli Brooke-White
My sentiments exactly. Was watching the 2001 Paris-Roubaix last night and several riders were doing the same. Just because it's cool when you're doing it while applying serious dosages of the V in Rule #9 conditions does not make it cool in and of itself. It's like "ancillary cool".
@Oli Brooke-White
Wait. Do we agree on something? QUICK! Lets start an argument!
Hey Frank, I'm noticing something weird in both Firefox 4 and Chrome 10.
The É in GRAVÉ is being dropped from the title above the author's name and below the photo up at the top of the page.
The whole word will appear as the page loads, then it seems like a final CSS file or something is loaded and the É is dropped, as it looks like the font is changing as well. Happens for me in both browsers. The É also gets dropped in "Recent & Random Articles" section, but shows up fine in the title tag.
Not a big deal, just some wonky little thing I just noticed…
That's because we're using SiFR and the special characters are not being loaded. We're working on it. In fact, I'm working on moving the site to TypeFace right now. Windows users will still get sucky SiFR, but Apple users will be on the new love.
As my man K-Dog (who is going to build a new version of SiFR with the special characters loaded) say, you can't buy a Specialized Allez and expect it to ride like a De Rosa.
BTW, it's not just on FF/Chrome – it's global on all platforms right now. It's almost working in test right now.
BTW, you should have received your symbol pack today…or you'll get it minyanna.
Sweet, interesting "behind the curtain" info. Curious about the split user interface for Mac/Windows, is that common? I'm familiar with profiles for different browsers since they all have different rendering engines.
Thanks for the update. I look forward to tastefully adorning things with The V.

About Effective Tax Rate (TTM)
Effective tax rates show a company's anticipated tax bill as a percentage of taxable income. Generally, companies that can work within the tax code to pay lower taxes are looked upon favorably by investors, since these tax savings indirectly accrue to shareholders.
Two important notes regarding effective tax rates:
(1) YCharts does not calculate an effective tax rate when pre-tax income is zero or negative to avoid confusion with negative tax on negative income or positive tax on negative income.
(2) Effective tax rates are different from marginal tax rates (the tax rate the company paid on its last dollar of income).
YCharts Quarterly Effective Tax Rates can display more volatile numbers than TTM. This may be the result of tax liabilities that were not paid in previous quarters that a firm is paying off now. For analyzing purposes, we recommend to use TTM rather than quarterly data.
