A storm is getting ready to engulf the United States.
Who is responsible for this storm?
Cory Lamb of Yolo Spirits, LLC.
Lamb is poised to take the hospitality industry by storm with his company's luxury brand of handcrafted spirits made in Georgia. After two years of extensive research and testing, the corn-based vodka, which is distilled seven times in a copper still and is 80-proof for the Classic and 70-proof for the flavors, is ready to be launched.
"Luxury comes in many forms, the luxury of Quiet Storm is an affordable indulgence," said Lamb.
Yolo Spirits' Classic along with Seduction, Obsession, Pleasure, Passion and Fantasy (a blend of exotic fruits), under the Quiet Storm Vodka brand isn't just another vodka with enticing names and interesting flavors. What makes the Quiet Storm Vodka brand stand out from other spirits is its clean, crisp taste. It pours like water and goes down smooth; but is strong, which makes it perfect for the vodka connoisseur. It isn't so strong that a vodka novice would feel intimidated by it.
The flavors are exotic and enticing and far from being girly. They transport you to islands of paradise, beaches of white sand, calm blue waters, suites of pleasure and boardrooms of power.
The ultra-premium vodka brand is set to be one of choice of the elite without the hefty price tag.
Spirit enthusiasts now have something to celebrate. The storm is set to spread across the United States in the late summer. Get some ice, chill your glasses and be prepared. Don't say you weren't warned.

EC is close to settling book price fixing case
Publishers offer to let books be sold at a discount
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION (EC) seems to be close to coming to an accord with the book publishers that it suspects of behaving in an anticompetitive manner in pricing their wares.
In a statement the EC said that it is looking for comment from parties in relation to the commitments that it has received from the publishers, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Hachette Livre and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, which owns Macmillan, and Apple.
According to the EC these firms have offered to terminate their existing agreements, which might have been anticompetitive, and let booksellers sell books for the prices that they want.
"The Commission considers at this stage that these companies may have breached EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive practices by jointly switching the sale of e-books from a wholesale model to agency contracts," said the EC.
"The agency model allows more control by publishers over retail prices. The Commission has concerns that this switch may have been the result of collusion between competing publishers, with the help of Apple, and may have aimed at raising retail prices of e-books in the European Economic Area or preventing the emergence of lower prices."
In order to counter this the firms have offered to create new agency agreements that will let retailers set the prices of books as they want. These agreements, and prices, will last for two years, the EC explained.
The EC is asking that any interested parties, and by that we take it to mean booksellers, respond with their comments. If the proposals are accepted it will bind the publishers to them. µ

MLHR alumna gives back to Fisher
Fisher alumna Terina Matthews' voice continues to echo in the halls of the Fisher complex. Matthews, who earned her degree in the Master of Labor and Human Resources program in 1998, comes back to the college often to both volunteer her time and to recruit Fisher students and graduates for employment.
Her contribution was recognized twice this year, not only by the college but also by Ohio State's alumni association. In May, she received Fisher's 2009 Diversity Award and in July she was named a winner of the 2009 Ohio State Alumni Award for which she will be recognized in September.
She returns to Fisher often, she says, because she is appreciative of the support she received while a student in the MLHR program.
"At first I wasn't sure I was going to make it through. But Fisher staff members David Harrison and Michelle Jacobson put me in touch with current MLHR and MBA students, alumni and the National Black MBA Association. With David's and Michelle's assistance, I was able to find people to support, guide and mentor me, who helped me make it through the program," she said. "I have a daily mantra in which I live by—'to whom much is given, much is required.' Because I received so much from Fisher's faculty, staff and students, it is very important for me to give back."
Matthews is now a recruiter for Yum Brands—the Louisville-based fast-food company that includes KFC and Pizza Hut. She has been back to Fisher to interview full-time and intern candidates both for Yum Brands and LimitedBrands, where she was formerly the senior MBA recruiter.
"At Yum! we have recruited and hired two MLHR interns this summer." she said. "They are doing an amazing job representing themselves and Fisher at the company."

Protect public's right to free speech
The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) condemns calls for the Internal Security Act to be used against webmasters, in the wake of criticisms of a post on a local weblog.
CIJ is disturbed by the public and government's willingness to use the laws against those who are trying provide a forum for public discussion.
This is in response to the coverage by Berita Harian of a particular discussion on Screenshots, owned by Jeff Ooi. The newspaper's coverage clearly failed to meet the ethical standards as espoused by the Malaysian Press Institute's Code of Ethics.
The ISA allows for detention without trial for up to two years, with a 60-day 'investigation period'. Many former detainees have claimed that they were tortured during this initial period. Threatening to use this against webmasters serves to create a climate of fear and self-censorship on the Internet.
This will also encourage webmasters to host sites anonymously and outside of the country, discouraging open and accountable ownership of websites.
It should be noted that censorship of the Internet was explicitly rejected in the Communications and Multimedia Act 2001 which states in clause three that nothing in the Act may be interpreted as censoring the Internet.
If Malaysia is serious about its vaunted ambition to be at the forefront of the Information Age, then the government has to stop harassing webmasters and using detention without trial to resolve any perceived problem that is conveniently swept under 'national security'.
Apart from damaging Malaysia's image internationally, slapping the ISA on webmasters discourages the free flow of information on Malaysian Internet sites, which are operating in an already restrictive broader environment.
The Centre for Independent Journalism was set up by journalists and is engaged in training, advocacy and practical media projects.

Thanksgiving is here, my friends. I know this isn't new news–if you're anything like me, you've been making and revising lists, running errands, and having a drink as soon as it's socially acceptable to do so.
For the past few days, I've been house/dog/teenage sitting at my Dad's house. And Lincoln, their sweet chocolate lab, was a rescue dog so he doesn't love being alone. For some, this would be a burden. But I've used this as an excuse to hunker down and do some writing, go on long Lincoln walks, take some photos around the neighborhood, and make hot spiked cider in the evening while lounging on the couch catching up with back issues of The New Yorker.
I got the recipe for this cider from the bartender at The Edgewater Hotel in Seattle. I'd come in freezing after a day at Bainbridge Island and asked her if she could make me something hot and strong. Pretty much the second I got back to California (well, not really–I waited a few days), I went out to buy some Tuaca, and have been making one of these guys every night since. If you're not familiar with Tuaca, it's an Italian liquor comprised of brandy, hints or citrus, vanilla, and cloves. It's made by the Tuoni and Canepa families of Livorno, Italy but it's easy to find here in the States. Any well stocked liquor store should carry it. So in these looming days of traveling, packing, family, food, errands, and the like–take a little time out with this hot cocktail. Trust that I'll be doing the same.
Hot Spiked Cider
Pour cider in a small saucepan. Drop cinnamon stick in, and warm on stove top for about ten minutes.
Pour 2 oz. Tuaca into your glass, and fill the rest of the way with the warmed cider. Shake a bit of ground cinnamon into the glass and top with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick if desired (it's great without the whipped cream, too).

It's bigtime stepup time for Fernando Guerrero, who coasted to a drama-free unanimous decision win over Derrick Findley in the main event at the Wicomico Civic Center in Salisbury, Maryland on Friday Night Fights.
The lefty Guerrero doesn't have glaring deficiencies, and I'd be eager to see him up the competition level, up a notch from a survivor type that is Findley, who has losses to Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell on his resume. After ten rounds, the judges congratulated the Salisbury resident, who has actually beaten better men than Findley, in Ishe Smith and Ossie Duran, by scores of 99-91, 99-91, 100-90.
The NABF middleweight champ Guerrero (from the Dominican Republic; 20-0 entering with 16 KOs) was 157 1/2 pounds, while Findley (from Indiana; entering at 17-4) was 162 pounds on Thursday.
The show ran in 3D, to be enjoyed by those viewing a television equipped to render the technology.
In the first, the lefty Guerrero snapped the jab. He went with combos right away, not needing to get his joints lubed for too long. He likes to work from a distance, generally, get off and stay out of range, so as not to make himself an easy target to counter. In the second, the bulky Findley tried to land a straight right. He stays squared up, so he ate more than he served. In the third, Guerrero got even more comfortable. He tripled up the left a few times. In the fourth, Guerrero craftily continued to work the downstairs so he could get a good look at the noggin. Findley looked weary by the end of the round, a rough one for him.
In the fifth, Findley had better luck. He worked on moving forward, trying to get Guerrero backing up some. But all too often, he had his gloves glued to the front of his face, in a defensive posture. After a slower round, Guerrero worked harder to start the sixth. He couldn't however take too much starch out of the resolute Findley. The outsider to his credit marched forward in the seventh, and again had Guerrero in retreat at times. Guerrero was throwing 100 punches a round, and in the eighth, he still had a full tank of gas.
In the TV opener, Shawn Porter of Ohio stayed unbeaten, running his record to 18-0 with a UD8 over Anges Adjaho of Africa, who slipped to 25-5. This was the fourth straight loss for the loser, but don't be thinking he just showed up to lay down. His right hand counters, thrown not often enough, did touch Porter and tell him he wasn't going to waltz to an easy W. Porter was fighting as a light junior middleweight but has dropped down to welterweight. Adjaho sometimes fights at 135, but his body didn't look puffed up with flab.
Porter, said Joe Tess, has been working with his dad-trainer on staying calm, breathing, not getting ahead of himself. We saw that for the most part. He got angles smartly, mixes his hands and his placement, and got good work in. Adjaho simply doesn't throw often enough. If he did, he would've gotten over the hump in some of those stepup fights he's lost.
Atlas saw it 99-91, while the real deal arbiters saw it 99-91, 99-91, 97-93, for Porter.
Marylander Dominic Wade raised his record to 11-0 with a UD4 over Tennessean Grover Young in a super middle tiff. Wade is trained by the Peterson Brothers guy, Barry Hunter. Wade exited with the win by scores of 40-36.
SPEEDBAG Atlas told viewers he likes Donaire in the marquee Saturday night bantamweight clash. He cited his youth, and said Montiel might be bigger, but won't have an easy time getting inside on Donaire.
Main event was a snoozer. All I got is Findley reminded me of James "Hard Rock" Green. Anyone remember Lou Duva blowing bubbles and Green hitting them on NBC Sportsworld back in the '80s? Damn I'm getting old!
Hittin' those bubbles is old school. Tommy Brooks, Ronny Shield and Da BIG Lou made champ after champ with that tactic. There is such a long line -- Pernell Whitaker, Myron Taylor, Evander HolyField, and Vinny Paz, just to name a few. @the Roast, My three-year-old son is a bubblebuster. He can whup some bubbles' arses. Holla!
FNF is getting better and better, quality fighters against quality opposition. Porter, Wade, and Guerrerro are finally displaying some "professional" polish. It's good to see up and comers show improvement and earn their wins against solid opposition. Porter has settled down alot. Wade has the potential to become a beast. and Guerrerro looks far better than I ever thought the once raw boned fighter could look. Even the opponent Findley the body builder looked vastly improved since I last saw him take a pummelling from Andre Dirrell as if he actually took the time to learn something about boxing. I agree with Coach Roast that it was somewhat dissappointing not to get any fireworks,.. all we got was 3 consistant performances (sparring sessions) from steadily improving prospects. ........ Sorry I misplaced my Avatar 3 D glasses,.. the show would've probably been better in 3d
The article opens with discussion about being "eager to see Guerrero up the competition level", however I'm surprised that there is no mention that Findley was a replacement for the original opponent Saul Roman (34-8, 29 KO's)! Roman has on his resume': two fights against Marco Antonio Rubio, including a TKO win; a win against Kassim Ouma; and losses to Yuri Foreman & Sergio Martinez! Roman was signed and approved for the fight, but elected to take an interim bout three weeks before the Guerrero fight. Roman won the fight but injured his nose in the process, and pulled out of the Guerrero fight.
It is debateable whether or not Saul Roman is a stiffer test than Findley, IMO
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Lexus GS Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Lexus GS body kits are exterior components that can be used to enhance and rejuvenate a car's {exterior appearance. After years of wear and tear, the exterior paneling on many automobiles begins to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can depreciate a automobile's value, making the use of body kit is just that much more important. A body kit can transform a ride appear newer, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the vehicle.
Most stylish Lexus GS body kits upgrades come with replacements for several highly affected exterior components, bumpers and side skirts. These are the places of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but they aren't the only pieces that can be easily fixed. Other aftermarket exterior parts can be used to upgrade a car's look, so Lexus GS body kits can often be tailored to a driver's specific needs. For an improved appearance that eliminates the old appearance created from years of driving, a high quality body kits can serve you well.

Some might say that 2011 was the year Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather took the easy way out.
Doug Pamplin, competing at the Mr. MAL contest as "Mr. D," brought down the house when he worked the Staples "Easy" button into an off-the-cuff answer during the contest's question-and-answer segment. Asked how he would fulfill the wishes of a contest judge with an office-supply fetish, Pamplin concocted a fantasy involving a blindfold made of Post-it notes, paper-clip nipple clamps, a rubber-band cockring and a marker.
"And if it gets a little too hard," Pamplin concluded, "you can reach for that fucking Easy button." The audience of roughly 750 people, packed into a ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, erupted in sustained cheering.
Through a winning combination of poise and humor, the 42-year-old native of Pittsburgh clinched the title of Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2011, beating out a strong field of seven contestants. Among other duties, Pamplin will represent the nation's second-largest leather event at the world's largest, International Mr. Leather, held annually in Chicago.
You could say this year's Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend, Jan. 14 to 17, hit the Easy button too. Organized by the Centaur Motorcycle Club, the event went off with only "a few little bumps," according to MAL chair Patrick Grady. This despite an all-new, all-encompassing setting: a new host hotel in a different part of town, twice as big as the Washington Plaza Hotel off Thomas Circle, home to MAL the past 15 years.
Grady, the Centaur MC's new vice president, estimates 1,800 people attended MAL at the Hyatt. That's a bit more than last year and more than the hotel was expecting. "Everybody was happy," says Grady, noting that MAL will be returning to the Hyatt in 2012.
In his step-down speech, Mr. MAL 2010 Matt Bamford disclosed that during his title year his father was diagnosed with a terminal illness and his grandmother died. And then, only five minutes before going onstage Sunday, he got a phone call that his grandfather had died. It made an already emotional moment even more so.
Later, Pamplin teased, with tears in his eyes, "There's no crying in leather!" The newly sashed Mr. MAL was overcome with sentiment as a long line of well-wishers waited to hug him and pose for pictures.
During an interview after the contest, Pamplin noted that leathermen and leatherwomen are far more compassionate than people give them credit for. The leather community, for example, was an early champion of issues including AIDS and breast cancer. For his part, Pamplin, who's been part of the leather community for six years, will focus his Mr. MAL platform on the issue of hunger.

The event, in the Basque city of Bilbao, was attended by high-ranking regional politicians and celebrities such as Pilar Bardem - mother of Oscar winner Javier Bardem - and former UNESCO director-general Federico Mayor Zaragoza.
French politicians and members of the Irish Republican party Sinn Fein also took part.
Herrira, a protest movement for prisoners' rights, organised the rally. Its protest slogan was ''human rights, determination, peace''. There was no violence reported.
Herrira has demanded that more than 700 ETA prisoners be transferred to prisons in Basque country to make it easier for relatives to visit. Currently, the prisoners are spread around Spain to make it more difficult for them to communicate with one another.
ETA waged an armed campaign for an independent Basque homeland from 1959 until 2011, when it ended its armed resistance. However, the group has neither surrendered its weapons nor dissolved its leadership structures.
Nonetheless, Spanish authorities say the group is in its ''end phase''.

Cormac McCarthy both embodies and redefines the notion of the artist as outsider. His fiction draws on recognizable American themes and employs dense philosophical and theological subtexts, challenging readers by depicting the familiar as inscrutably foreign. The essays in this Companion offer a sophisticated yet concise introduction to McCarthy's difficult and provocative work. The contributors, an international team of McCarthy scholars, analyze some of the most well-known and commonly taught novels - Outer Dark, Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and The Road - while providing detailed treatments of McCarthy's work in cinema, including the many adaptations of his novels to film. Designed for scholars, teachers, and general readers, and complete with a chronology and bibliography for further reading, this Companion is an essential reference for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of one of America's most celebrated living novelists.

UPDATE: The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting death of an Alva man outside a convenience store in Boise City.
Investigators say the suspect is believed to be a Hispanic man in his late 20s to early 30s, about 5-feet-6 to 5-feet-8 inches tall with a medium build. He was last seen running from the area after the shooting Wednesday afternoon.
The OSBI is also searching for a dark-colored, late 1990s to early 2000s Chevrolet extended cab pickup that was seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting.
BOISE CITY, Okla. (AP) - A man shot and killed outside a Boise City convenience story has been identified as a 71-year-old Alva man.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Thursday that Charles Nieman was shot after getting out of his pickup truck in the parking lot of the Loaf N' Jug just after 1 p.m. Wednesday and died a short time later at a Boise City hospital.
The OSBI says Boise City police have asked the state agency for assistance in investigating the shooting and no arrests have been made.
Police said earlier that Nieman was shot after being approached by a man in the parking lot and that the gunman then fled the scene.
Boise City is in the far western Oklahoma Panhandle - about 325 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

Assessing the best time to send email
Latest posts | Feed | By Mark Brownlow
Unfortunately, email marketers dare not share that opinion.
We fuss over subject lines, offers, calls to action and targeting, but sometimes a lack of response is simply a matter of timing.
By the time the recipient checked her inbox, your carefully crafted email was buried by Facebook alerts, business memos and a reminder to pick up a bottle of wine on the way home.
Timing matters.
At this point in any article on "the best time of day to send email," it's traditional to say "it depends" and advise testing to discover the best time for your particular audience.
Which is very sound advice, but let's see if we can come up with something more.
You've probably been through the brainstorming process to draw out a "best guess" time to send. And testing may not be an option if you haven't the time or a big enough list. So where do you go from there?
1. Look at your past results
As noted before, there's a lot of insight already sitting in your campaign reports.
How about taking 6 months' worth of emails and graphing time of send against response and seeing if any patterns emerge?
Specifically, are certain send times always associated with a higher response?
2. Exploit benchmark data on open patterns
If you always send emails out at the same time, you have nothing to compare. But here's an idea...
MailerMailer's half-yearly email marketing metrics report includes a graph comparing opens per hour with time since send.
You'll find the original graph in the latest report, and it looks something like this:
As the numbers are drawn from thousands of email campaigns, you can treat this graph as a typical open rate curve.
Generate your own curve using your campaign stats and compare it to the MailerMailer benchmark. Suppose you see this:
The deviations are telling you something. Is there a timing issue at play?
For example, my newsletter's opens/hour follows a similar curve until around 13-14 hours after the send, when there's a bump.
My email goes out at 1.30pm Eastern Time. That's 7.30pm for most of Europe and that bump represents European readers opening their inboxes the following morning.
The lesson? Even though the newsletter is buried a little in inboxes, it still gets an "unusually" large amount of opens in the European morning.
I should delay sending the newsletter out to Europe until, say, 9am local time so my email is even higher in the inbox when marketers arrive for work.
3. Segment by time of response
That simple example highlights the fact that any "optimal" send time for your whole list is actually a compromise.
It's not "optimal" at all.
Optimal is when you send out each email at the best time for that individual recipient.
At least one ESP provides that functionality in their system, sending out each email based on when the recipient opened and clicked on previous messages. They report big response improvements as a result, with one customer lifting net revenue by 40%.
That kind of functionality is not accessible to all, but you can still apply the principle to your list. Instead of defining segments according to what recipients open and click on, you can look at when they open and click.
So you might be able to build segments like...
- "checks email between 6am and 10am EST"
- "checks email between 10am and 1pm EST"
- "checks email between 1pm and 4pm EST"
- "checks email between 4pm and 9pm EST"
- "checks email between 9pm and 2am EST"
- "checks email between 2am and 6am EST"
If you have data on recipient location, you can segment by timezone. So if your "best guess" time to send is 9am, you can ensure that people in California, Connecticut, Cologne and Canberra all get the email at 9am local time.
Even without geographic data on your subscribers, you can do some timezone segmentation by matching TLDs (the last bit of the email address) to a timezone. For example, people with .de (Germany) or .fr (France) addresses are likely to be on Central European Time.
[Here's a list of TLDs and their associated country or region.]
4. Make the question obsolete
An alternative option to second guessing the best time of day to send out your emails is to do away with the question entirely.
Control of timing becomes less critical to success where the recipient either determines the time of send for you (a concept also applied in the one-to-one model described above). Or where the recipient is determined to seek your emails out, irrespective of when you send them.
Both those concepts are explained in the New Email Marketing series, specifically this post from last year.
5. Think beyond email
Clearly timing is an important issue in email marketing. But many of the concepts involved apply equally to other channels.
Do you, for example, apply as much care to the timing of your blog posts, Tweets or Facebook updates as you do to your emails?
6. One problem
Nearly all articles on the best time to send out email assume that every email leaves the delivery system simultaneously and reaches the recipient instantaneously.
Limitations imposed by both sending and receiving systems mean this just isn't the case, unless your list is relatively small.
So if you have a "best time to send," when do you actually set the email campaign to go? Do you know how long it takes to get all the emails out the door? And should the "best time to send" be at the beginning, middle or end of this time period?
I don't have answers here, but you need to ask the questions. (Love to hear how you deal with this issue.)
This very problem is, however, yet more reason to segment by response time.
If you break up your list into smaller segments, each getting emails sent at different times, then you have a much better chance of delivery times matching intended send times (there are less emails for the systems to get through at any one time.)
Coming up: the best day to send your emails (which also, of course, affects the best time! Fun, isn't it?)
OK, over to you - thoughts?

Another great post. I have to say that when I send out my emails to my list, I never wrote the times down or tracked the results. But have been aware of the different timezones. After the results then I start to think about when is the best time to send out emails.
I guess that tracking and making a graph of the results will gradually eliminate the question "When is the best time to send out the emails?"
I still think that after tracking and having a good idea of when there's no right time to send out emails. It all depends of your list and your campaigns.
By Erasmo Velez, on 02 June, 2009
Thanks Erasmo.
Another point I didn't mention is that the "best" time can change of course, depending on what your email is all about.
A restaurant advertising lunchtime work specials probably wouldn't want to send the email after lunch. But if the next email pushes post-work cocktail specials, after-lunch might be OK...
By , on 03 June, 2009
Excellent post Mark. It is very important to mention that if you have a very large list, they are not all going to go out at the same time.
Thinking about time zones is key as well.

Great article. Tons of informative information for me to use with our company. Thank you!

"A restaurant advertising lunchtime work specials probably wouldn't want to send the email after lunch."
Case in point: I received a 'One Night Only: TV Dinner Takeaway' promotion for the Championship League final from Gourmet Burger Kitchen the day after the match took place...so not much use to me really.

Excellent Gareth! Or maybe they were just 364 days early.
By , on 05 June, 2009
Mark - Great considerations when thinking about time of day testing. A/B split testing for some of my clients has revealed major differences between sending at one time versus another.
I find that most marketers typically just choose a time and run with it. Taking the time to test can make a big difference in your results.
Another interesting find: One particular client found that not only did Sunday garner more conversions for her business (versus sending out first thing Monday morning), but also gave her a head-start on fulfillment, leading to faster delivery. Just another coincidental perk uncovered! Like the smart marketer she is, she plans on continuing to test to see if a different time on the weekend works even better.
By Kristen Gregory at Bronto, on 08 June, 2009
Kristen, very intrigued by your example. It's not just about response, but related topics like the practicalities of handling that response. Excellent!
By , on 08 June, 2009
Tracking emails is a process just like tracking errors in a production environment. Every element (copy, offer, format, timing, audience segmentation, etc.) can be tracked/graphed. The key is:
What data needs to be tracked?
How do look at the data?
What positive action can be determined?
What data tracking is irrelevant and should be eliminated?
By Roger, on 18 June, 2009
Pure360 can decide for you from each recipient's open history. If there is a pattern we will send the message at the best time to open, if there isn't a pattern we will release it straight away.
By Andy Thorpe, on 19 June, 2009
Very informative. Thanks.

We're still thinking about summer weather and growing plants outside, but if you want to have any cuttings of plants you are growing right now, you should consider taking them.
And if you are going to take certain major decorative plants indoors for the winter, you should make a decision on your strategy.
I have a few geraniums (pelargoniums) and fibrous-rooted begonias that I want to have around next season, so my usual habit is to take one or two plants in over the winter, kept under lights.
Sometimes I take tip cuttings as well, so that I can plant up several individual pots of the specific plants I want to keep.
The cuttings I make are from 7.5 to 10 centimetres (three to four inches) long, and contain a growing tip that's producing buds and leaves. I trim off the lower leaves and any flower buds that are opening, just leaving the last three small leaves on the cutting.
All the cuttings go into the divisions of small cell packs filled with perlite. This is an open and airy product that encourages rapid root growth.
You can leave the cuttings outdoors until the weather turns cool. Just make sure the perlite never dries out completely.
In about three weeks, once the cuttings have started developing a good set of roots, you can take the cuttings out of each cell pack and put them into individual small pots filled with garden soil and compost.
The cuttings can grow in these containers until next spring, or you can plant several cuttings in the same larger pot to make a "mother plant."
The advantage to making cuttings so early is that if something goes wrong, you can let the plants keep growing and make more cuttings.

For certain projects or events, you and your guest may actually be far away from a restroom. Fortunately, there are portable restrooms that you can use in the case you need one. In order to get a portable restroom, you will need to rent one from a company. Like with every other product, not all portable restrooms are equal. There are certain tips that you may need to follow in order to be sure to get the best product that you can afford. The following are tips that will make sure you are taken care of.
First, you do not want to go cheap. While you do want to save money, being so caught up in milking every penny you can get can only backfire on you. You may end up getting a faulty and defective portable restroom. Instead take more time to research the companies and their products so that you can get a better idea which product is worth the money spent towards rental. Consumer reviews similar bits of information are typically ideal for this stage. Companies with better reputations are typically more likely to provide good products and services in order to help people in their projects, price plays a role take houstonportapotty.rentals – prices for example. The same can be said for portable restroom companies.
When deciding on a portable restroom, you want to determine how many that you need. the number that you need will depend on the number of people that are working on your project. It is probably not wise to order more portable restrooms than you have people. You will likely wind up wasting a bit of money. It is better to have one restroom for every 2 – 5 people on the project.
One thing to look for in a restroom is the type of accommodations that it has. Even
though a portable restroom with just a toilet is good, you might also want to use one that has ways for you to wash your hands. You can check and see if the portable restrooms offered by the company you are renting from has dispensers for antibacterial wipes. There are times when workers may not be able to wash their hands after using the toilet. With wipes, you can wash up right before going back to work.
A very important part of using a portable room is in placement. You do want to place it on a dry and level surface. Other things you want to consider are safety and accessibility. If you have a multitude of portable bathrooms, you want to consider scattering them in a strategic manner. For places where there is food and drinks, you want to place them somewhere within the vicinity. Whenever you are done with the portable toilet, you can give the rental company a call and they can have it picked up. With these products, you will be given extra convenience to go along with your projects and events.

SMU Mustangs (1-3, 0-0 C-USA) at UTEP Miners (1-4, 0-1 C-USA)
Saturday, October 6, 2012 - 7 P.M. CT
Sun Bowl (51,500) - El Paso, Texas
Time Warner Cable SportsChannel/SMU Radio Network/SMUMustangs.com
Ford Stadium
Mustangs Down UTEP 28-17
Zach Line rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns and J.J. McDermott was a winner in his first start at quarterback for SMU in a 28-17 victory against UTEP on Saturday night. The Mustangs are back in action next Saturday, Sept. 17 when they host Northwestern State at 7 p.m.
Setting The Scene
• SMU kicks off its final Conference USA slate with a trip to El Paso to take on the UTEP Miners. The Mustangs have won three straight C-USA openers and have tied for the C-USA Western Division championship in two of the last three seasons.
• Zach Line puts the "run" in SMU's Run & Shoot. Line has posted 100-yard games against Baylor and Texas A&M in 2012, and his 17 career 100-yard games rank second in SMU history to only Eric Dickerson and third among active players. He has totaled 3,250 yards and 37 rushing TDs in his career, both of which rank in the top five among active players.
• SMU is 17-7 in Conference USA games since the start of the 2009 season (6-2, 6-2, 5-3).
• The SMU defense enters the game on the heels of a solid performance against No. 15 TCU, holding the Horned Frogs to just 156 yards of total offense. It was the fewest yards for a TCU team since 1997, as the Mustangs limited the Frogs to just 2.1 yards per play.
• Located in the nation's fifth-largest media market, SMU boasts an impressive resume with 143 Conference Championships, 147 NCAA top-10 finishes, eight NCAA team championships (three in football), over 100 individual NCAA championships, hundreds of All-Americans and one Heisman Trophy Winner. SMU has won its conference's Director's Cup in 11 out of the past 15 years. SMU is one of just 20 schools that has both a Heisman Trophy winner and multiple national championships.
• SMU is in the midst of its Centennial Celebration, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the University's founding and opening. January 1, 2011, was designated as the start of the celebration period, running through 2015. SMU was founded in 1911 and opened in 1915.
About The Miners
• UTEP enters the game at just 1-4, but, like the Mustangs, played a very challenging non-conference slate, facing Big 12, SEC and Big Ten opponents. They are led by wide receiver Michael Edwards, who notched 130 yards against ECU in their C-USA opener last weekend. Edwards is tied for second in the league in receiving yards per game and ranks third in punt returns.
The Series
• SMU holds an 11-8 series advantage, but UTEP has won six of the last nine meetings. The Miners hold a 6-4 advantage in games played in El Paso and a 6-1 edge in the last seven games played at the Sun Bowl. SMU's last win in El Paso came back on Nov. 16, 2002, when the Mustangs prevailed 42-35, as Cody Cardwell returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown with just 1:22 remaining in the game.
The Coaches
• June Jones is in his fifth season at the SMU helm. His SMU record is 25-31 and his career mark is now 101-72. Jones led SMU to back-to-back Conference USA Western Division Championships in 2009 and 2010, and has led the Mustangs to three straight bowl berths. Jones went 76-41 in nine seasons at Hawaii, leading the Warriors to the All-State Sugar Bowl following the 2007 season. Prior to heading to Hawaii, Jones had a 12-year coaching career in the NFL, including head coaching stops at Atlanta and San Diego.
• Mike Price is in his ninth season at the helm of the UTEP football program and his 31st as a head coach. Price has compiled a 46-56 mark in El Paso and a 175-178 overall coaching record in a career that has taken him to Weber State, Washington State and UTEP.
• Time Warner Cable SportsChannel will air the game live to subscribers in the Lone Star State. Pete Stein, Neal Raphael and Crystal Dominguez will call the game.
• Rich Phillips (PBP), John Hampton (color) and Brian Bischoff (sidelines) will call the action on KTCK 1310 AMin Dallas beginning at 6:30 p.m. CT.
• SMUMustangs.com will stream game audio and stats.

Hold the pasta and pass the carrot sticks.
It's not like Kyle Wellwood is ready to do a weight-loss testimonial quite yet, but when he does, Vancouver Canucks strength and conditioning coach Roger Takahashi can stand in for Jenny Craig.
Wellwood, who was figuratively run through the end boards by head coach Alain Vigneault on the final day of the Whistler portion of training camp last week for his poor level of conditioning, unveiled the secret to his "Eight Pounds in 10 Days" diet that has put him back in the team's good graces.
Wellwood, whose history of dodgy fitness has always been offset by his soft hands and elite offensive instincts, revealed following practice Monday that he's dropped eight pounds since Vigneault pronounced his commitment to conditioning was not at the necessary level required by a professional athlete.
"I'm at 189 [pounds]. That's where I want to be," said the 25-year-old forward, who was picked up off waivers from Toronto in June and signed to a one-way, one-year, $997,500-US contract.
"There are a lot of vegetables -- apparently I can't eat a lot of things that normal guys eat. I've eliminated everything but lean meat and vegetables. If you want to lose weight pretty quickly, just do that."
As promised by Vigneault nine days ago in Whistler, Wellwood was re-tested Monday and the coach said he showed significant improvement from the previous testing Sept. 19.
"He tested well this morning," Vigneault said. "He is now at acceptable NHL standards, and where he was coming from the last two months is remarkable. Without giving you the numbers, he has made unbelievable strides.
"I think a lot of credit goes to him and to Roger [Takahashi]. Kyle is now at the level where if he'd come into camp like that, we'd say, 'OK, that's acceptable.' It's not in the average range, but it's acceptable. He and Roger have been working really hard."
Wellwood said the team has been supplying him with prepared lunches and giving him strict guidelines about what he can and can't eat. Wellwood maintained that it's not like he sits around gorging on hamburgers in his spare time.
"I like pasta and a sub here and there," he said. "They've taken all the thinking out of it. They're making sure I get the meals I need and that I don't snack at certain times."
Wellwood said he wasn't particularly upset by Vigneault's scathing remarks in Whistler.
"It didn't make much difference to me," he said. "I thought I told the truth, that I wasn't at the level that the rest of the players were, and that wasn't anything new to me." Wellwood has indeed had a rough 12 months, with sports hernia surgeries last September and again in April; then he broke a foot playing soccer in May. The injuries didn't help his fitness level.
"I'm just starting to be able to work hard now, and seeing results finally," he said. "I got up to 200 [pounds], and hadn't been under 195 in a long time. When I was playing well in the NHL, I was at about 188, and I'm getting pretty close to there now. Yesterday I felt pretty good; about 80 per cent, today closer to 90. I'm hoping by the time the season starts, I'm at where I was hoping to be."
Wellwood's fitness follies have put him in a hole in a hotly contested scrap for roster spots at forward. At 5-foot-10 and not known for grit, he's really fighting for a spot on the second line or perhaps the third.
He's got to score, which he did impressively in the Canucks' 5-4 shootout win in Anaheim on Sunday. Wellwood showed major league hands, snapping one past Ducks goalie J.P Levasseur in regulation and scoring the shootout winner on a gorgeous forehand deke. The Windsor, Ont., native who has 108 points in 189 NHL games, has 1-2-3 in three preseason games.
Although the Canucks have just three preseason games left, Wellwood is confident he can find a spot on the opening-day roster.
"I know what it takes to put up points," he said. "If I get my body in shape, which I think it is now, I'm pretty confident I'll get a spot. If you're a good hockey player, you're going to be in the NHL."

Acorn Media // 1999 // 144 Minutes // Not Rated
Reviewed by Appellate Judge James A. Stewart (Retired) // December 8th, 2011
"We're like one big happy family." -- Donna Sinclair
Joanna Lumley isn't a doctor, but she played an actress who played one on TV, at least for six episodes, in Dr. Willoughby. The British actress is a familiar face and comedic presence from The New Avengers and Absolutely Fabulous, so it's not surprising that Acorn dug up this forgotten 1999 sitcom about backstage life at a TV soap in the land of Coronation Street.
Dr. Willoughby has six episodes on one disc:
* "Fan Mail" -- Dr. Willoughby star Donna Sinclair is jealous when she discovers that she gets less fan mail than co-stars Ralph (Brian Protheroe, Reilly: Ace of Spies) and Crystal (Paula Bacon, Food of Love). Ralph fears a jail term for unpaid spousal maintenance.
* "Young Pretender" -- With objections from producer Emma (Isobel Middleton, Cracker) and raves from lusting star Donna, a muscle-bound actor with no discernible talent gets a plum role on the soap. Ralph's nervous about not being in the script.
* "Family Wedding" -- Donna's upset because her home doesn't have enough bedrooms to get her an OK! magazine profile. She's also not too fond of her son's fiancee.
* "Speculation" -- Donna checks into a clinic. Ralph's the only one who's upset -- but that's only because Emma hired another actor in Donna's absence rather than plumping up his role.
* "Scandal" -- "Brother of TV celebrity living in squalor" isn't the kind of headline that ITV wanted as a sponsorship deal is in the works. Ralph and Crystal both hope that a reworked show will put their name first.
* "Awards" -- Dr. Willoughby is nominated for an award, but Donna's not happy: she'd like a new dress for the ceremony, and the show can't fit it into the budget.
Dr. Willoughby opens on the set of Dr. Willoughby, quickly establishing that, while Dr. Willoughby is a crack surgeon, you'd probably rather do your own bypass than let Donna Sinclair anywhere near you, even if she's not bearing a scalpel. She drops an f-bomb at co-star Ralph, angry at his ad-lib. As the show goes on, Donna turns out to barely know her son and brother, constantly sabotages naive younger actress Crystal with some really bad advice (and even suggests to the writers a storyline in which Crystal's character gets acid in the face), and has to look up Finland when she learns her soap is now on the air there.
To play an actress playing a surgeon, Joanna Lumley apparently had to study making funny faces. Fortunately, she did her job well and you might even laugh as soon as you see her previously cold visage start to twist. "Scandal" makes her gradually shabbier appearance as she becomes more haggard the main gag, and perhaps the series' funniest.
The secondary plots are usually left to Brian Protheroe as Ralph, a neurotic actor who tends to blow up a lot; he's usually dreaming of filling a gap left by a departing Donna, at least when he's not fearing his own abrupt departure. The strongest supporting character is Emma, a producer who begs to get out of her contract -- and away from the difficult cast.
Dr. Willoughby generally has a realistic look to it; it appears to be filmed on an actual soundstage and backlot. The backdrop actually makes the silly, (hopefully) exaggerated gags on the show seem a tad more realistic, which adds to the humor. It's interesting to note that several of the actors, including Lumley (a veteran of General Hospital and Coronation Street), have experience with TV suds.
Dr. Willoughby is often funny, but Joanna Lumley's undignified, hilariously nasty performance carries the show. Anytime she's off camera, the show's still nasty, but not amusingly so. The inside dirt aspect of the show is a lot weaker than it should be, thanks to the one-note characterizations in the script. Even when it is funny, do you really want to watch unpleasant people in action?
Dr. Willoughby was done in 1999, yet this release is in widescreen format. I can't say for sure, but I do suspect there was some chopping of the picture.
Dr. Willoughby is worth a look for fans of Joanna Lumley, but keep in mind it's a relatively minor item on her resume. If her name didn't pique your interest, Dr. Willoughby probably won't.
Not guilty.

Save For Retirement
Save for Retirement
Every person has their own hopes for retirement. Whether your dream is to own your home, having the funds to travel or being able to maintain your current lifestyle, it takes planning and a commitment to saving to make these dreams a reality. Banner Health wants to take the guesswork out of creating a personalized retirement plan for each employee by giving you the tools you need to succeed.
Money grows
There is incredible power in retirement saving when you are consistent and committed. Let's look at two examples.
First, if you save $250/month in a tax-deferred retirement account for 10 years from age 25 to 35 and then stopped, by the time you reach 65 your $30,000 investment will have grown to more than $472,000. This assumes an eight percent annual return.
For our second example, let's assume you put off saving until age 35 and then save $250/month until you reach age 65. Assuming the same eight percent rate of return, when you reach 65 you will have contributed $90,000 and it will grow to about $367,000.
While we hope you don't choose to stop saving as shown in the first example, what you will notice is that by starting earlier, the added years of interest will make your money work for you. This also highlights the importance of being consistent with your retirement contributions.
Here to help
Like most goals, a healthy retirement requires planning. Banner Health encourages every staff member to take advantage of the no cost Fidelity Retail Program to help build your financial future. Fidelity can help you make the most of your Banner retirement plan by working with you to understand your goals then building and managing your profile.
As a trusted provider of guidance to millions of individuals, Fidelity provides everything needed to help you achieve the retirement you want. To begin, take a look at the Resources section of their site which offers key tools, calculators, videos and more and then schedule a time to meet with a Fidelity retirement counselor.

Session Managers: Petter Eltvik and Roy Rusaa
At present, many fields on the UK, Norwegian and Danish Continental Shelf are seeing a rapid and continuing increase in drilling cost, which may jeopardise the profitability of smaller targets. Despite the declining oil production in many areas, large potential reserves and many business opportunities remain. Realising this potential requires both rethinking of conventional wisdom and new, smart investments.
With a basis in real field developments in the North Sea, this session will address issues relating to infield drilling, redevelopment and satellite development comparing subsea tie-backs and small wellhead platforms. Participants should be prepared for an open roundtable discussion of the strategies, cost, benefits, reservoir risks, and flexibility associated with alternative development options to extend the limit of profitability to the smallest drilling target.
Session Managers: Mike Horgan and Ali Shahbaz Sikandar
Building on from Session 1, the dynamics of opportunities change dramatically when ownership differs between the asset to be tied back and the host facility. No two opportunities or solutions are the same. Creating a winning solution for all parties requires high levels of interaction from all to achieve the right technical and commercial solution. Significant experience exists in the North Sea and we will explore further areas to create win-win scenarios for the various stakeholders involved who help to speed up investment, improve returns for all, and provide robust relationships for business to build on. Attendee participation will be required in an exercise which will highlight mutual exclusion and bias that can creep into such situations.
Session Managers: Rod Farquhar and Colin Morrison
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it is all too easy for an operator to lose sight of the brownfield opportunities that exist in and around mature multi-platform complexes against a background of late-life challenges. Performance following a change in ownership is often noted to surpass expectations. Using case studies and facilitated discussion, this session will explore the approaches required to subsurface wells, facilities, and interfield utilities in order to turn around such assets. We will look at what can be learned about the way an aging asset is operated that would enhance its standing in an existing portfolio so that it could attract investment without a change in ownership.
Session Managers: Albert Isaj and Owen Vaughan
Between identifying opportunities and executing plans lies the critical step of making a good business decision. What might appear to be a simple process of calculating the economic indicator of choice for each option and choosing the top performers often becomes a much more complex process. Some projects are dependent on others, some are mutually exclusive, and uncertainty ranges may result in very different rankings when comparing projects at the lowside, mid, and highside cases. Often in brownfield developments, the quantifying and ranking step in the process is about creating a coherent story with mitigations and options. With that in mind, this session will look at the philosophy as much as the process, using examples from the first day as a basis for discussion.
Session Managers: Bulent Balci and Fazrie Wahid
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray" – Do they have to? Is it possible to create a perfect execution plan, especially when most companies are short on resources, people and experience? What about the challenge of incorporating local knowledge and expertise? How do we handle unexpected events and react to them in our execution of the plan?
This session will start with an FDP for the redevelopment of a brownfield. From this, teams of delegates will develop an evolving execution strategy to overcome challenges introduced throughout the exercise to mimic commonplace events. Teams will discuss their execution plans and be challenged by the NOC at each step before approval is given. Group facilitators will support the teams to expand the ideas already being developed and to handle new information coming in. The session will bring together the varied experience and expertise of the delegates to highlight issues around the successful implementation of brownfield projects.

"The Pianist" is on television, and although I've seen it before and I own a copy of it on DVD, I cannot catch my breath. I am watching the true story of this sensitive, introverted, kind young man who despite his incredible musical talent, lived in Nazi-Occupied Europe during WWII. He was constantly on the run, in hiding, pretending to be someone he was not…. Anything that would save him from the Nazis and certain death. In one of his hiding places, he finds a piano and is able to express his feelings via his musical talent.
So why am I having trouble catching my breath at this Oscar-winning performance? Because two days ago, a racist, one-time member of the KKK, shouting, "Heil Hitler" during his arrest shot and killed three people in the Kansas City area. Two were a grandfather and grandson at a Jewish Community Center, and the third was a woman who resided at a skilled-nursing care facility that is supported through the Jewish community. TWO DAYS AGO! In Overland Park, Kansas! Not in Nazi occupied Europe during WWII. NOW! HERE!
If anyone wants to convince you that anti-Semitism does not exist in 2014 in the United States of America, you only have to look at your proverbial "backyard" to see that illusion vanish. Log into ANY station in the Kansas City area, and this incident will be at the top of the page: www.KMBC.com, www.KSHB.com , www.KCfox4news.com , www.KCTV5.com... Not only will those local stations have the news story, but www.cnn.com , www.msnbc.com , and many other national outlets will also be covering the story.
What frightens me the most is that this is just the beginning. As reporters delve into the past of this shooter, Frazier Glenn Cross Jr., 73, who goes by the name of Glenn Cross, they have found his deep ties into the KKK, once having been a Grand Dragon of the, "Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which he founded and ran in the 1980s before being sued by the SPLC for operating an illegal paramilitary organization and using intimidation tactics against African Americans" (Chaloux and Mayfield 1).
Cross has a long, sordid history involving the KKK and other racist factions. "A former US Army special forces soldier who was deployed twice during the Vietnam War, he was discharged from the Army after being caught distributing racist political material" (Gaist 1).
Clearly, this man is not the example for social change. Instead, we have to start with our young people and teach them to care and respect EVERY human being with whom they come into contact. Starting with our youth may be the only chance we have of changing this worldl.

India announces Union Budget 2013-14
- Date
- 01 March 2013
NEW DELHI: Finance Minister P Chidambaram has announced India's Union Budget 2013-14. While there is limited indication of the government's approach to tackle climate change, the Budget features a handful of clean energy highlights.
Despite reiterating that clean energy is a priority for the government, Minister Chidambaram revealed little of how India plans to accelerate low carbon development in his Union Budget speech, bar a small number of programs relating to the clean energy sector.
These announcements include:
- Boosting manufacturing and retail of environment-friendly vehicles. The Budget proposed to continue and extend the currently available concessions on parts of electric and hybrid vehicles until March 31, 2015.
- Encouraging growth in the wind energy sector. The Budget allocated US$145.7 million to an incentive scheme for wind power generation.
- Cities' waste to energy projects are to be supported and incentivized.
- US$442.5 million will be allocated to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
There was no mention of funds specific to the solar industry, and although most states now have action plans in place on funding for tackling climate change, there was also no mention included in the Budget.
Another important omission from the Budget was on the future of the National Clean Energy Fund, which was launched in 2010 to support innovative clean technology research. At the time, the Indian Government enforced a tax of US$0.91 on a ton of coal and since then around US$546.45 million is collected every year – but there is little information on where exactly this money is being spent.
Aditi Dass, Director of Technology Programs India, The Climate Group, said: "Government has been taking gradual steps towards low carbon growth up until now. However, in this Budget the focus has been on narrowing fiscal deficit. So even though it does not foster huge encouragement for the clean energy space, the Budget does not indicate any negative proposals either. In a way this quietly reaffirms government's commitment towards slowly making India's clean revolution story a reality."

According to Thursday's ABC 8 News, an American Falls, Idaho, family wants a dog to be declared vicious after their teenage son was bitten by the dog at a party earlier this month.
In the midst of a house party on July 5, 17-year-old Robert Odom tumbled off the back porch stairs and when he landed, the dog who lives at the house bit him.
The teen's mother, Katrina Evans, believes that the dog should be deemed vicious by the city because of of an ordinance which outlines the stipulations to declare a dog vicious:
"Any dog with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack without provocation, or cause injury, or to otherwise threaten the safety of human beings or domestic animals or;
"(B) Any dog which, without provocation, has attacked or bitten a human being or domestic animal;
The police, or city animal control, are able to use their discretion to determine if a dog falls within the parameters which would warrant the label - in this case, they have not found adequate proof that the dog who bit the teen is vicious.
Perhaps because of the clause "without provocation" which in this case, would likely not apply because the dog unexpectedly encountered the body of a 260-pound teen who inexplicably landed in his yard.
Police Chief Brandon Wilkinson had indicated that his department is investigating the situation and they found that the dog in question has had no prior complaints, and the dog was kept within a fenced yard and was secured by a leash.
Evans is determined to see the dog labeled as vicious, telling ABC News 8:
If the wounds he received aren't vicious, I don't know what is. ... Robert's a big kid at 260 pounds. What if a 40- or 60-pound kid is walking through the area and they get attacked? What is the council going to say, then? 'Oops, my bad' as they put that kid in the ground?"
There were ramifications for some party-goers on the night of the incident - citations were issued to some attendees for underage drinking.

We recently attended the most amazing Indian wedding, complete with elephant wedding favors and beautiful Bali-inspired cupcakes. Don't get us wrong, wedding cupcakes in general send our excitement to new highs but there is something about an Indian wedding that is one of a kind. The bright colorful fabrics and heavily cultural wedding ceremony traditions—they're truly exceptional events. If you're lucky enough to be part of an Indian wedding, you'll see what we're talking about.
{Indian Inspired Cupcakes: Moroccan Dawn Cupcake Wrappers, Moroccan Evening Cupcake Wrappers, Moroccan Sunrise Cupcake Wrappers, Moroccan Dusk Cupcake Wrappers, Moroccan Breeze Cupcake Wrappers}
Anyways, onto the topic at hand: these Bali-inspired cupcakes were above and beyond our expectations. They had a full dessert bar of Indian favorites and specialty cupcake flavors. Not only were the flavors and spices over the top, they were all wrapped in some of our beautiful Moroccan cupcake wrappers. The bakery had managed to match cupcake frostings and flavors with a different pattern cupcake wrapper. It's just a pity we didn't get to take photos for you, but we did take notes. Here are our tips on how to create your own Bali-inspired wedding cupcakes complete with our Moroccan cupcake wrappers.
- Saffron Cupcakes: You can create vegan Saffron cupcakes to please any of your vegan friends. Saffron has a wide variety of uses from teas and cooking to bath spices and fabric dyes. This spice is used in cooking for flavor and coloring. The red threads can be seeped for bold flavor and then incorporated into the cupcake batter. These cupcakes are perfect for a bold Moroccan Dawn cupcake wrapper. Top each cupcake with a few strands of saffron for an accent.
- Cardamom Frosting: Any of your vegan cupcakes can use a cardamom frosting. Our favorite cardamom frosting uses cream cheese but you can easily adapt it to be vegan friendly. Once you've mixed your frosting, add a few drops of food coloring to help blend your cupcakes with a colorful topping.
- Cashew and Carrot Cupcakes: For a bold alternative to carrot cake cupcakes, bake a few cashew and carrot cupcakes. These nutty cupcakes pair salty cashew nuts with fresh moist carrots. Then when you pile cream cheese frosting on top they're delicious. With a small amount of curry these cupcakes would be the ultimate savory treat. These were served in Moroccan Sunrise cupcake wrappers because of their medium color and bold taste.
- Curry Cupcakes: Speaking of curry, the spice is quickly becoming a must have for kitchen fanatics. Cupcake Wars contest winners are even baking contest winning cupcakes with it! The bold spice is a tangy way to turn up the heat on any cupcake recipe. You can pair it with a subtle fruit or vegetable to create another great cupcake combination. We chickened out on trying these snacks but rumor has it they certainly make great after dinner treats. These curry cupcakes are beautiful paired with Moroccan Twilight cupcake wrappers.
Any of your favorite bold Indian cupcake recipes can really turn of the heat at a wedding or special event. We were blown away with the creativity of the cupcake flavors and cupcake decorations. Nevermind the beautiful cupcake wrappers, even the cupcake toppers were amazing. A few round fondant Bali-inspired flowers and bright bold frosting colors can really transform your dessert table. What do you think; how bold are you willing to go with your wedding desserts? Would you put curry in your cupcake recipe?

Boss looking to kick on
by Stuart Vose
O'Neill on tough Swansea test.
Martin O'Neill has warned that his Sunderland side will face a Swansea side full of confidence after reaching the Capital One Cup final.
The Swans saw off Chelsea last week before enjoying a weekend off as the FA Cup with Budweiser programme took precedence.
City will face Bradford City in their first major cup final since 1964, and O'Neill says every single member of Michael Laudrup's squad will be going all-out to secure their place between now and the Wembley showpiece.
"I think it's a great boost for them – to reach the final is a great achievement during a brilliant season for Swansea," he told safc.com.
"They have done fantastically, following on from last season's first attempt in the Barclays Premier League.
"They've kept the momentum going through a change of manager without any real change in style.
"Everyone there seems to be particularly happy.
"I think [getting to the final] gives them an added boost to competition for places, more than anything else."
Sunderland welcome the Welsh club to Wearside having played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium earlier in the season.
"It was a strange affair, with them having the major part of the possession," O'Neill recalled.
"I said at the end of the game that my only disappointment was we didn't seem to have enough energy reserved to go and win the game, especially when they had a man sent off.
"Having said that we took a point away from home, which wasn't too bad."
A victory on Tuesday evening could see Sunderland advance into the top half of the Barclays Premier League.
They have surged upwards since just before Christmas, mirroring the progress made at the same time last season during the early stages of O'Neill's time in charge.
And the Stadium of Light chief is hoping to sustain a similar run this time around.
"There's parallels between now and last season, when we had an excellent January," he said.
"We beat Manchester City and Wigan in quick succession and were going strongly at the time.
"After losing at Chelsea we came back with big wins against Swansea and Norwich, which took us out of trouble.
"We have to try and continue in the same vein if possible, though it won't be easy of course."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Junior Cassy Isagawa carded consecutive under par rounds to lead the field after the first day of action at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational on Friday. The Ducks shot the lowest round of the day, a six-under par 286, in the afternoon round to jump to second place on the leaderboard.
Oregon broke the school record for team score vs. par with its six-under round, topping the previous record of five-under at the 2008 UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational.
Competing on the par 73 UNM Championship Course, the Ducks shot a 36-hole score of 585 (+1) and trail tournament-leading Pepperdine by four stokes entering Sunday's final round. Oregon shot a 299 (+7) in the morning round and were tied for fifth before catching fire in the second round. Oregon put a 286 on the scorecard with three individual rounds under par.
With Isagawa, sophomore Caroline Inglis and freshman Monica Petchakan in the top 10 of individual standings, the Ducks put two stellar rounds together in New Mexico. Oregon leads third-place UC Davis by three strokes.
Isagawa, a two-time All-Pac-12 selection, leads the field at eight-under with a two-round tally of 138. Her opening round consisted of five birdies and 11 pars, shooting a steady three-under 70. After falling to one-over in her second round, Isagawa lit the course up with six birdies and five pars in the final 11 holes to shoot a 68 (-5), the lowest round of the season by a Duck.
Inglis and Santoso are tied for eighth in the field as both shot identical rounds of 75 (+2) and 71 (-2) to sit at even par through two rounds (146).
Inglis birdies three holes in her first round, but had a streak of four straight bogeys through holes 5-8 to shoot a two-over round. She made par on all four of those holes in the second round, and also made two birdies and 16 pars to card a two-under round.
Santoso played two even-keeled rounds with just five holes over par on the day. She birdied the par-five 18th hole and made 14 pars in the first round to tally a 75. Santoso made birdie on four holes in the afternoon to jump from 24th to eighth on the leaderboard with a 71 (-2).
Junior Monica Petchakan improved three stokes on her opening round and is tied for 51st in the field. Petchakan shot a 79 (+6) in round one with birdies on holes 1, 9, 10 and 13. She carded a three-over 76 in the afternoon with a birdie on the first hole and an eagle on the par-five ninth hole.
Junior Cali Hipp shot a 36-hole score of 163 (+17) and is tied for 82nd.
Senior Raphaela Dyer and freshman Marcella Pranovia competed individually. Dyer is tied for 47th after carding consecutive round of 77 (+4) for a two-round tally of 154 (+8). Pranovia is tied for 59th in the field with a 36-round score of 158 (+12).
Oregon is searching for a consecutive team title at the Dick McGuire Invitational, as the Ducks won the tournament in 2010. Saturday's final round will tee off with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. (PT). Live results can be found at http://www.golfstatresults.com/public/leaderboards/team/static/team4830.html
