Every year when the heat and humidity kicks in I am delighted by the fragrance of Snow Goose. The hot, sticky summers here really seem to bring out SG's fragrance and I can smell it from any yards away. I'd love to get a few more roses with the same fragrance but not a climber. Any suggestions?
Rose with fragrance similar to Snow Goose
According to the David Austin Technical Manager, Michael Marriott, the musky fragrance is also very strong in the variety Scarborough Fair. It is mostly found on the singles and semi doubles like Skylark, The Lady's Blush (available in the US in 2013), Comte de Champagne, Belle Story and Francine Austin as the fragrance comes from the stamens and not the petals. Another semi double � Buttercup is one of Michael's very favourite varieties for fragrance which is quite different but absolutely delicious.
Hi. I've never sniffed a Snow Goose, so I probably may be off. But I never say never. This past week I got a surprise-I found a deliciously, beautifully fragrant KNOCKOUT rose!!! It's the "Sunny Knockout". The buds are warm yellow and open to creamy white flowers! The scent is potent. It is also more compact and bushier than the other Kockouts. I was really imprssed by Sunny's fresh look and wonderful perfume! The label says that Sunny is the only fragrant Knockout so far.
I actually went to the local nursery to look for colorful fall mums, but they weren't selling any yet. Instead, they had an impressive stock of red, pink and the yellow Knockouts. I smelled the scent and walked righgt past them, looking around the nursery for the source of the intoxicating scent. I couldn't believe it was the Sunny's. I wasted no time in buying it.
Why, thank you so much helencaine and Foxnfirefly. And gosh, Scarborough Fair and Skylark and on my Autin wish list for this year! Ooooo, and I've been eyeballing Lady's Blush on the UK version of the Austin website. I was just going through the new introductions section of my Sep/Oct American Rose magazine. I think Mr Austin will be getting my birthday money this year! I'm usually not a fan of the Knockouts just because of the lack of fragrance. But I may take a look at the Sunny Knockout--thanks for bringing it up.
Buttercup is my very favorite as well. It is blooming now and I am in seventh heaven!

By Bruce Love email@example.com February 27, 2012 2:54 PM GMT As the European single market turns 20, a number of key financial initiatives are due to be finalised this year, including interoperability guidelines and a new-look UCITS.Adopted in April 2011, the Single Market Act is Europe's attempt to "re-launch" the single market for 2012, improving growth, competitiveness and social progress.Ranging from worker mobility to SME finance and consumer protection, the European Commission's Single Markets Act, aims to make life easier for businesses, citizens, consumers and workers in the region.Regulation of central securities depositories (CSDs) is expected to be published within the next month, providing uniform requirements for the performance of services by CSDs as well as for their access and interoperability.Under the proposals CSDs would fall under the supervision of the European Securities and Markets Authority, the pan-European regulatory body, which would be charged with maintaining a list of CSDs and keeping track of the activities they are licensed to carry out.The new regulation will work in unison with MiFID II and the European market infrastructure regulation (EMIR), which support full interoperability between exchanges and clearing houses for equities and listed and OTC derivatives.Speaking in Brussels today, European Commission single market commissioner Michel Barnier said he had made considerable progress on rules which would better govern financial markets in Europe.The latest re-engineering of the UCITS regime is due out in Q2, providing rules on UCITS depositary functions, manager remuneration policy, and administrative sanctions. The aim of UCITS V is to create a regulatory regime which provides for robust investor protection and further strengthens the internal market efficiency in the investment fund sector while ensuring UCITS does not impair financial stability.Also due in Q2 are the packaged retail investment products (prip) guidelines, aimed at levelling the playing field for originators and distributors of retail investment products in Europe and increasing efficiency in the cross-border funds business.According to Barnier, the Securities Law Directive, due in Q3, will reduce the divergence between national substantive laws on book-entry securities, simplifying financial markets operations.Yet a legislative initiative on a framework for bank recovery and resolution has not been given a firm date for adoption by the European Commission. According to the Commission, the main objective of the proposal will be to provide a more effective, efficient and harmonised crisis management structure for member states to resolve failing banks without the need to engage bailout tactics.The Commission is also yet to provide details on the adoption of a legislative initiative on close-out netting, the risk mitigation tool used to reduce counterparty credit risk by giving priority over unsecured creditors to the non-defaulting counterparty in the case of insolvency.The objective of the initiative is to increase legal certainty and safety of bilateral and multilateral netting agreements, but also to empower national authorities to impose a temporary stay on the rights to close-out netting. related articles most popular most e-mailed FROM THETRADENEWS.COM RegulationMifid II: An organisational checklistDataEuronext signs data deal to tap Chinese investorsRegulationMiFID II 'a game-changer' for ETFs Trading VenuesEurex widens index derivatives deal with KoreaRegulationCosts top concerns of Mifid II tradersSell sideREVEALED: Ten traders leaving Goldman Sachs FROM THE TRADE TVObjectTrading's Steve Woodyatt on Asia FROM THETRADENEWS.COMRegulationMifid II: An organisational checklistFixed incomeCitadel in European market making expansionSell sideFormer Newedge CEO to leave Soc GenRegulationDark pools and the 'misplaced pursuit of transparency'TechnologyBlockchain about to get interesting as trial phases end - EuroclearBuy sideAsset managers not yet sold on collateral management utilities FROM THE TRADE TVObjectTrading's Steve Woodyatt on Asia FROM THETRADENEWS.COMRegulationMifid II: An organisational checklistFixed incomeCitadel in European market making expansionBuy sideAsset managers not yet sold on collateral management utilitiesRegulationMiFID II 'a game-changer' for ETFsSell sideREVEALED: Ten traders leaving Goldman SachsFixed incomeFixed income platform market reaches saturation FROM THE TRADE TVObjectTrading's Steve Woodyatt on Asia

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
26 Aug 2011 11:59 GMT | Asia, Pakistan
The son of a Pakistani governor, who was killed by his bodyguard for his opposition to a controversial blasphemy law in January, has been abducted in the eastern city of Lahore, police and his family said.
"Four men in a car intercepted Shahbaz Taseer's car in Lahore's upmarket Gulberg area," Syed Mumtaz, a police official, told the AFP news agency on Friday.
Rana Sanaullah, the provincial law minister, said Taseer had been provided an official security detail in addition to the private guards he kept. But he was without security at the time of the incident.
"We are looking into it as to why this lapse happened," he told the Reuters news agency.
"Shahbaz was out with a friend when four unidentified people kidnapped him," Shehryar Taseer, his brother, told Reuters.
Shahbaz Taseer is a director in several companies his father founded, including Pace Pakistan Ltd, First Capital Equities Ltd, Media Times Ltd and First Capital Securities Corp Ltd.
"Our family has been receiving threats from the Taliban and extremist groups," Shehryar said, adding they could be behind the abduction.
No group has claimed responsibility so far.
US-based Human Rights Watch confirmed the abduction. Its Pakistan director, Ali Dayan, said the federal and provincial governments "must ensure that the younger Taseer is recovered speedily and his abductors are held accountable".
Blasphemy law
Taseer's father, Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab province, of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, was killed after he came out in support of a woman accused of committing blasphemy.
Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of four, was sentenced to death in a case stemming from a village dispute, putting the country's blasphemy law in the spotlight.
Taseer's murder was followed two months later by the assassination of another vocal opponent of the law, minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian in the cabinet of Yousuf Raza Gilani, the prime minister.
Shahbaz Taseer filed the criminal case against the bodyguard who killed his father in January.
His abduction is the second high-profile kidnapping in Lahore this month.
Police are still searching for an American aid expert who was kidnapped about two weeks ago.
Warren Weinstein, 70, the country director for JE Austin Associates Inc, had been working on a project in Pakistan's northwestern tribal areas where Pakistani troops have been battling fighters for years.
Up to eight assailants kidnapped Weinstein in a pre-dawn raid on his house in Lahore on August 13.

Title: Deer resistant plants from New Braunfels TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a 1/2 yard covered by a tree, shady. Bermuda grass previous owner planted has all turned brown this summer. I don't have lots of money to work with but would love to landscape that side of front yard. Tree roots have popped up in areas, so I bought a truck load of soil and smoothed it out everywhere but have no idea what can grow under a tree, in a deer heavy area (New Braunfels, Tx), and what I could do myself without hiring experts (again, very limited funds). The neighbors (who all have St. Augustine, thick and green) have started to look strangely at us (my imagination???). Help or if you could direct me to someone I can ask questions? I read a lot but can't seem to figure out what to do (brain is getting old).
When your neighbors give your browning bermudagrass funny looks, give them looks that say "If your St. Augustine is looking so green and lush, you are watering more than you should be in this drought area." Both bermudagrass and St. Augustine are non-native to North America so, since the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native to North America as well as to the area in which they grow naturally, we don't like them anyway. In addition to that, bermudagrass is one of the most invasive weeds in the South, and St. Augustine is a water gulper. We saw some statistics recently that said it was estimated that 40% of the drinking water in Central Texas went to watering St. Augustine lawns. Which would you rather have, clean drinking water or green lawns?
To go on with the dead bermudagrass you have, if that tree is shading the area, bermudagrass won't do well, anyway, it is a full sun grass. And not a whole lot is going to be willing to grow under that tree. If the tree is an oak, pecan or black walnut, it will exhibit allelopathy, which means it is capable of exuding substances which discourage competition from other plants beneath it. Some other trees have the same capability, but since we don't know what your tree is, we can't comment on that.
We are going to recommend forgetting about a lawn and going to more of a xeriscape motif. We recently answered a question about xeriscaping, which we recommend you read. It is from Memphis TN, but addresses the same issues yours does, including getting rid of bermudagrass. We are going to take you to our Native Plant Database to find plants native to Central Texas that can replace the grass as the opportunity presents itself. None of these methods are expensive, and all can be done gradually, as you have the time and funds to take them on. We do recommend very strongly that, with the exception of solarization of the bermudagrass, you do no planting until it cools off. Perennials can be planted in Fall or Spring, as you get beds ready for them, and woody plants (trees and shrubs) should be planted from November to January.
Since you live in Comal County, not far from Austin and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, you might enjoy a day trip to the Center for our Fall Plant Sale. If you have not visited the Center before, you will find it an education in the use of native plants, and everything on sale is native to Central Texas.
Before you start selecting plants, please read our How-To Articles on A Guide to Native Plant Gardening, and Caring for Your New Native Plants. The hardest request in your question was for deer-resistant plants, so let's start out with our Deer Resistant Plant List. Be sure and take this reminder at the top of the list to heart:
"Deer Resistant Species
Few plants are completely deer resistant. Several factors influence deer browsing including the density of the deer population, environmental conditions such as drought, and plant palatability. Deer tend to avoid plants with aromatic foliage, tough leathery and/or hairy or prickly leaves or plants with milky latex or sap. Try using some of the plants listed here to minimize deer damage to your landscape."
When you follow plant links to our webpages on the plants on the Deer Resistant Species list, you will scroll down to the Benefits section near the bottom of the page. The plants should only be considered if they say "Deer Resistance: High." All the plants on that list are straight out of our Native Plant Database, and you can use the same sorting techniques, with lots more plant choices, but not necessarily Deer Resistant.
So, to begin: Go to our Deer Resistant Species, and using the sidebar on the right side of the page, select on Texas, and the pick a Habit (herbs, shrubs, trees, succulents, etc.). If you have already mapped out your sunny and shady areas, you can specify sun (6 hours or more a day of sun), part shade (2 to 6 hours of sun) or shade (2 hours or less of sun), as well as soil moisture. We are going to give you a sample list; follow each plant link to our webpage on that plant. In the process, you will discover how to find what you want and where it can go. There will be propagation instructions, growing conditions and, at the bottom of the page, a link to Google for even more information on that plant.

Cam Newton paces Panthers as Saints fall to 0-2 for first time since 2007
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton talked all week about how much better the Carolina Panthers were on offense then they showed in their season opener. He proved it on Sunday.
The second-year quarterback threw for 253 yards and ran for a career-high 71 yards and led the Panthers to a 35-27 win over New Orleans and leaving the NFC South champion Saints 0-2 for the first time since 2007.
"Times change," wide receiver Steve Smith said of Carolina's first win over New Orleans since 2009.
Coach Ron Rivera said a loss to Drew Brees and the Saints would have been tough to take especially with a tough game coming up Thursday night against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
"The way we responded as a team this week was outstanding," Rivera said. "I think the attitude, the effort was great."
The Panthers tied a club record last week with 10 yards rushing in a loss to Tampa Bay.
They had no such problems moving the ball against the Saints. They got the running game going in the second quarter and rolled up 219 yards on the ground and 463 overall,
Newton, DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert all scored on short touchdown runs and Steve Smith overcame a sore knee to finish with 104 yards receiving -- the 39th 100-yard receiving game of his career.
Jonathan Stewart hauled in a 17-yard touchdown catch for the Panthers (1-1) and Brandon LaFell had six catches for 90 yards.
Newton kept the Saints off balance all day, running eight times for 66 yards in the first half as coordinator Rob Chudzinski used a variety of plays that allowed Carolina to take a 21-13 halftime lead.
"You do read option, read option, read option and then get them to play seven or eight in the box and you've got so many variations of plays and passes you can run off that," Newton said.
Added Tolbert: "The zone read was one of the plays that we saw on film that they was kind of vulnerable to. It was working so we stuck with it. They weren't fitting the gaps right on that play."
When the Saints began to figure things out, Newton would find open receivers who beat one-on-one matchups on the outside.
On one second half play there was not a defender within 20 yards of Smith when he hauled in a pass from Newton along the right sideline and raced 66 yards before being dragged down.
"I was shocked just as much as anybody," Newton said. "Of all of the people on this field to be wide open, you would think Smitty would be the last person. But that is what type of pressure the zone read gives us."
Panthers tackle Jordan Gross said bouncing back from last week's poor offensive outing was big. Gross said he's never been on a team that has run the ball as poorly as the Panthers did last week.
"We played like we're capable of," Gross said. "I would expect days like this to be the standard, not last week."
The Saints, meanwhile, have serious concerns on defense.
They've allowed 922 yards and 75 points in two games against Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III.
"If you look at our defense, and you look at the two offenses we've played, we've played the most unconventional offenses in the National Football League," said interim coach Aaron Kromer, who is running the team because coach Sean Payton and assistant head coach Joe Vitt are serving suspensions for their roles in the Saints bounty scandal. "So do we have to do better against those styles of offenses? Yeah, we do.
"One thing we need to get settled in on is on that style. But we've played two good offenses, and we just need to keep working at it and plugging away."
Brees came in having won five straight starts against Carolina.
He threw for 325 yards, but was intercepted twice, including once by Charles Godfrey, who returned it 9 yards for a touchdown. The Panthers only sacked Brees once but pressured him into getting rid of the ball early several times. Brees was twice flagged for intentional grounding.
Brees briefly appeared to be hurt in the third quarter when defensive end Greg Hardy collapsed the pocket on came crashing down on his leg from behind. Brees hobbled off the field but returned for the next series, never missing a play.
"It's fine," Brees said. "It just got rolled up on in an awkward position."
Brees got off to a good start by completing all six passes for 55 yards on the Saints' opening drive, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham. After converting just two of 11 third-down conversions last week against Washington, the Saints seemed to rectify that problem on the game's opening drive.
But Carolina's defense came back on the next possession when Godfrey stepped in front of a rollout pass by Brees and returned it for a score to tie the game.
Jon Beason also intercepted Brees on the final drive to seal the win.
The last time the Saints started 0-2 was five years ago when they finished 7-9 and failed to make the playoffs.
They'll look to rebound next Sunday at home against Kansas City.
"The challenge now is keeping from that mentality of why it's happening, or pointing fingers and saying `this guy isn't doing what he's supposed to," said Saints tackle Zach Strief. "That's dangerous. That's poisonous to a locker room."
Game notes
The Panthers are 6-1 over the last two seasons in games in which Newton does not throw an interception. ... Smith was carted to the locker room at one point in the third quarter after reinjuring his knee, but returned to the game. He said afterward he's fine. ... Pierre Thomas had 110 yards rushing for the Saints and Darren Sproles had 13 catches for 128 yards receiving. ... Charlotte Bobcats owner and former NBA great Michael Jordan took in the game from a luxury suite.

Jazz expand front office
Updated: August 7, 2012, 4:27 PM ETAssociated Press
SALT LAKE CITY -- If Dennis Lindsey was going to be an NBA general manger, the timing had to be right and the culture perfect.
He found that combination with the Utah Jazz, who on Tuesday introduced the former San Antonio Spurs exec as new GM. Longtime Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor relinquished day-to-day duties with Utah but will continue to oversee basketball operations as an executive vice president.
Jazz CEO Greg Miller did not mince words in outlining his expectations ...

Minimus is a flying pony, who appears in the Disney Junior animated series Sofia the First, voiced by Eric Stonestreet. He lives in the stables of Royal Prep, though he stayed in Enchancia for the holidays, and is ridden by Princess Sofia.
Minimus, in every sense, is a worrywort and lacks confidence. He also has a bit of self-esteem issues. On countless occasions he is doubting his capabilities. He tried convincing Sofia to choose another horse as her racing partner. But while Minimus doubts himself, the true talent within him overpowers the doubt.
While being Sofia's partner, Minimus is steadily growing bolder and gaining confidence in himself. However, like Sofia, he is still very withdrawn and avoids confrontation. But when it came to Hugo quitting on the Derby Team just hours before the championship race in "The Flying Crown", Minimus becomes enraged and wishes to speak human, so he would give him a talking-to.
Minimus is loyal to Sofia. In fact he loves her as much as Clover does. He's willing to do anything to make her happy. From saving Clover to trying out new Derby Team plays.
Role in the Series
Minimus makes his debut appearence in "Just One of the Princes". Minimus first appears when Sofia goes to get her own horse after deciding to try out for thr RPA Flying Derby team. According to Sir Gillium, nobody wanted him. Minimus is shocked to learn that Sofia can understand him and urges her to get another horse. Sofia tells him she thinks he's perfect just the way he is. After a fair few difficulties, Sofia and Minimus win the try out race and make the team. They become great teammates.
Minimus's biggest role is in "The Secret Library". Minimus is revealed to have a brother named Mazzimo, who he has abandonment issues with. Sofia comes to him and tells him that his brother is in trouble and they fly off to rescue him. When they find Mazzimo, Minimus gets into an arguement with him due to still being angry with him for leaving him and their parents. This attracts the attention of Prince Roderick. After Sofia and her Aunt Tilly free Mazzimo they fly off. During the flight, Minimus gets into another arguement that distracts him in a way that makes Sofia fall off him. Soon after, the two brothers are captured by Roderick. Wheile being tied up, Mazzimo tells him that leaving him and their parents was his greatest regret about leaving home and they reconcile. After Sofia frees them, they fly to Wildwing Valley where they part on good terms.
- Minimus' name is like a combination of Mini and Pegasus, referring to him being a small winged horse.
- Minimus is also Latin for "smallest".
- Despite being called a horse, Minimus looks more like a pony. However, Hugo referred to Minimus as a pony when he said, "When you're done, James, can you help my sister get on her pony?"
- He could be a reference to Tangled's Maximus, since they are opposite names.
- Though as mentioned before, it's likely just a size thing.
- Minimus, however, has vocal talent and cowardice larger than him.
- In the episode "The Flying Crown", he mentioned that he is rumored to be from a line of flying donkeys when he was trying to smooth-talk Hugo's horse Electra. If Minimus is telling the truth, then at least one of his relatives is a mule.
- Minimus is a smooth-talker in general, once trying to woo a unicorn, as revealed in "Carol of the Arrow".
- In "The Secret Library", it is revealed that Minimus has a long lost brother named Mazzimo who he has abandonment issues with.

I haven't been sleeping lately and from what I have heard insomnia is a sign of another condition. I'm tried all day because I don't sleep at night. I am making an effort to work out and try my hardest to keep going all day. So far its not working I'm just more tired. I need to go see my doctor, but has anyone experienced this before? ..... I tried an Ambien the other night and the next day felt great! I just don't want to be dependant on them.

I started with 3mg and it helped a lot. if your worried about it still you could try the 1mg to see if it helps.

Do you watch TV or use computer before bed? If you do, try to stop half and hour at least before bed. The screens and lights on them can interrupt your natural sleep cycle. Google it, I'm not explaining it well as I'm tired myself...

Head Coach Joanne Boyle:
We didn't come out and play our normal style. We ended up changing what we do, which is the match-up zone, but we got lackadaisical. Penn had a lot of fight and a lot of fire. They didn't back down. They're smart. I think we got outhustled in the first half. Where I am proud of my team is we came back in the second half and were playing man-to-man. We were switching everything. I thought we did a much better job on the boards. We were attacking. We were a little more poised. We had a couple of people step up and make some big plays.
On the play of Kelsey Wolfe
She really put the team on her shoulders. Every time they made a basket, she got us a basket. She got us a stop. She got us a free throw. She did a great job. More than anything, I noticed how poised she was in the second half. She was calm and poised. The rest of the team wasn't. That's what we need from our point guards.
On dominating the second half rebounding
We were in man-to-man so each was responsible for an individual person. I think that helped us out. I think there was just a commitment on our part. Rebounding has been our Achilles heel last year. It was why we lost a lot of games. They have made a commitment that is not going to be who they are this year.
Junior guard Kelsey Wolfe
We knew we had to regroup and come out with a different intensity than we did in the first half and just play defense.
It's something that just comes out in me. I just really wanted to win. I just kind of lost control.
On her and-one's
During a timeout, Coach Corey came up to me and told me `Drive baseline. It's open. Don't force it if the middle's not there. I saw an opening. Just took it to the hole and finished strong. On one of the and-ones, Telia blocked someone out and gave me a lane to the basket.
Senior forward Telia McCall
We had to focus on the little things and rebounding. We were down on the boards so we had to win that.
Kelsey, she got me hyped. When she got hyped, I got hyped. The whole team followed her. She was off the chain and on fire. We needed that. We needed that push. She got us the two free throws that we needed. She got nine boards. We needed that.
On her steal and layup on the other end towards the end of the game
I knew that the offense was not really falling for me. I was kind of frustrated and knew I had to put that behind me. I can only control the things that I can control, so I knew I had to turn it up on defense. We knew that they liked to shoot threes. We knew they needed a three so I just anticipated it and got my hands up. And then, on the other end, I just kept going hard and somehow it went in the basket.

Mayor wants a butt-free CBD
"I'm sure there will be people who are pretty cranky about the fact we would be pushing for smoke-free environments in public places in the middle of our CBDs. But I think it's time to recognise it's an important next step in the health of communities."
- Print page

Peter Blundell dreams of breathing fresh air in downtown Warwick.
The Southern Downs mayor is attending the Local Government Association conference in Cairns armed with a motion for legislative change to enable councils to enforce smoke-free environments.
The mayor would like to see smoke-free main streets in his towns of Warwick and Stanthorpe.
"I would certainly see an initial step as being a smoke-free CBD," Blundell says. "And I think parks as well. Parks are designed for passive and active recreation, particularly aimed at families."
"We pride ourselves on having clean air and a great natural environment in the Southern Downs. I think ultimately it's a community health benefit we're trying to achieve."
An ex-smoker himself, Blundell has come to the conclusion smoking in public is inappropriate.
"I come from a long line of smokers in my family, but I think this is a clear indication that times change. Smoking is not the wisest choice to make as far as health goes, and we really should be considering how we do away with smoking as much as we possibly can."
"Currently we don't have the legislative ability to control smoking in some of those areas. It's prohibited four metres from the doorway to a public gathering place. But if we decide we would like to do away with smoking in the main street, we don't have the ability to do that. So they're the changes to the legislation we're asking for," Blundell says.

12 hour layover in Singapore
Report Abuse
If you are on Singapore Airlines, they offer a free city tour for people with layovers over a certain number of hours. I forget what the minimum is, but with 12 hours you definitely qualify. It is on a first come first serve basis, so you will need to ask where to go to get the tour as soon as you get off your flight. I have never taken it, but I don't think that they will allow much if any shopping time. However, there are many shops in the Singapore Airport and they are reasonable.
Report Abuse
My husband will have about 12 daylight hours in Singapore come September. We aren't too interested in shopping, so I think we'll go to the Botanical Gardens. I'm especially interested in the well-known orchid display there.
Any other thoughts?
Report Abuse
Go over to the Raffles Hotel. Have a Singapore Sling at the bar, eat lunch, do some shopping at their beautiful arcade or just sit in the lobby or gorgeous courtyard and people watch.
Report Abuse
We also had about a 12 hour layover in Singapore. As it was overnight, we got a room the Ritz-Carlton and hit some of the sights in the city. As we had about a 24 hour trip back to NYC, we wanted a place to catch a bit of sleep and a hot shower.
If your layover is during the day, the Singapore Airport has great facilities for showers, etc. I seem to recall they also have a swimming pool. Of course, not suggesting you spend the whole time in the airport.
I found the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel to be one of the most disappointing tourist destinations I've ever visited. It's long past its prime as a place for the literary ex-pats and is living off its reputation. I was expecting it to be similar to the Oak Bar at the Plaza in NY, a kind of casual elegance. Instead, the Singapore Slings come premade with the optional commerative glass.
Report Abuse
I'd recommend the botanical garden, especially the Orchid Garden. If you want a really lovely lunch, there's Les Ami au Jardin, a fancy (and very expensive) French restaurant in the gardens. I also like the Asian Cultural Musem, and I'd recommend the tiny museum in the Raffles hotel. Another memorable lunch spot is Doc Cheng's in Raffles.
Report Abuse
I agree with the above posters about the Long Bar. I live in Singapore and when I have visitors, I always take them to see Raffles. But we go early in the morning and buy some breakfast at Ah Teng's Bakery. You can carry it out to the courtyard and sit there and enjoy the atmosphere and spend a lot less money than you would for a Singapore Sling or lunch in the Tiffin Room.
Then go for a walk in Chinatown or Little India if you want to see a sample of some the many local cultures. Good places to buy all sorts of interesting souvenirs if your time is limited.

February 1st is Chinese New Year! Be aware that a lot of places will be close in Singapore.

Paint Horses Earn Awards from United States Dressage Federation
RELEASE: March 15, 2012
Rachel Robinson and Mis Diversify (Lorraine Robinson)
The United States Dressage Federation recognizes the accomplishments of Paint Horses through its Adequan/USDF All-Breed Awards. Seven American Paint Horses earned awards, with sixteen Paints in contention for the awards.
Earning the top spot at Fourth Level was True Texas Colors, a 2000 black overo gelding owned and ridden by Lesley Grove of Gardnerville, Nevada. The gelding earned a median score of 60.568 percent to earn the number one spot.
At Second Level, the number one went to Probably Not, a 1992 bay Solid Paint-Bred stallion owned and ridden by Lorraine DiSanti of Mantua, New Jersey. The pair earned a median score of 61.190 percent. Second place was awarded to Codemanneedsaspot, a 1998 bay Solid Paint-Bred gelding owned and ridden by Kristina Roby of Duluth, Minnesota. They earned a median score of 61.000 percent.
Luminous Lady took first place at First Level, owned and ridden by Kalie Beckers of Independence, Louisiana. The 2002 palomino overo mare earned a median score of 65.489 percent. Second was Mis Diversify, a 2004 chestnut overo mare, earning a median score of 62.581 percent with owner Rachel Robinson of Orlando, Florida, in the saddle. Other Paint Horses in contention were Joeledos Jim Dandy with Danielle Young of Woodstock, Illinois; Anasaszi Bean with Samantha Wise of Selma, Texas; Rei Ziggalito with Margaret Jackson of Eagan, Minnesota; and Charismas Dirty Lace with Valerie Pervo of Columbus, Ohio.
At Training Level, the top two spots were awarded to Mis Diversify with owner Rachel Robinson, with a median score of 69.000 percent, and A Lucky Chance, a 2004 chestnut tobiano gelding owned and ridden by Shannon Hansen of Green Bay, Wisconsin, who earned a median score of 68.750 percent. Other Paint Horses in contention were Delta Olenas Gunner with Katherine Rickert of Salem, Oreon; Wearin My Rolex with Jennifer Gage of Wolf, Wyoming; Luminous Lady with Kalie Beckers of Independence, Louisiana; Charismas Dirty Lace with Valerie Pervo of Columbus, Ohio; and Custers Run and Jeanne Binder of Lorton, Virginia.
For horses competing at Training Level through Fourth Level, participants must receive a minimum of eight scores from four different judges at four different USDF-recognized/USDF-licensed competitions, including two at 60 percent or higher from the highest test of the level, with a median score of 60 percent or higher to qualify.
Last year, seven Paints in Open competition earned Adequan/USDF All-Breed Awards with twelve total in contention.
Effective January 1, 2012, APHA recognizes dressage as an approved event for earning APHA points. Shows are required to submit paperwork and fees to be approved in advance as "special event," and results must be submitted immediately following the competition by show management. APHA points are limited to USEF and USDF-approved events only. This is a major program addition for dressage enthusiasts riding American Paint Horses. Previously, registered American Paint Horses only eligible to compete for PAC (Paint Alternative Competition) credits but now have the option of earning points or credits—depending upon the APHA approval status of the show.
