To whom it may concern:
You know, maybe I just foolishly assumed that when I got your confirmation email stating that the delivery date was May 10th that the flowers I ordered would actually get there on May 10th! What was I thinking! Perhaps it's my own fault for not bothering to search out and carefully read your company's Mother's Day delivery and no refund policies. Speaking of said policy, I would have never imagined that one would find the Monday after Mother's Day an acceptable delivery option! Go figure!
After spending half of my Mother's Day on hold or with three self-professed "temps" (one who told me his name was "irrelevant") and then finally being passed to a supervisor I am done attempting to talk with you!
I have never seen a retail company so ready to pass the buck, especially when it comes to dealing with a customer on the phone. I was actually told that the local florist you employed for delivery was "just too busy" to confirm whether my order had ever even been processed! If the local florists you subcontract aren't doing their jobs then consider getting new ones, but please don't hold your paying customers responsible for it!
At any rate, though I appreciate all the eleventh-hour apologies, I must say that I won't be doing any further business with Justflowers.com, nor it's affiliates (FTD, etc.)!!! I will also be freely sharing my experience and opinions regarding your company's perfomance with online review sites and other consumer advocate groups.

Kahui, who had his fourth shoulder reconstruction last year and then needed keyhole surgery to clean up scar tissue before the season started, was key in shutting down an attack-minded Auckland backline.
The 27-year-old made his comeback off the bench last week but was given his first start against the young Blues side and did not seem to be concerned with his shoulders, smashing into tackles and running straight and hard the entire game.
His industry was rewarded with a charge-down try in the second half that put the game out of reach for the Blues in an intense encounter.
The Chiefs dominated territory and possession and made three clean line breaks in the first half only to be cut down by the last defender, or to make an error as they tried to make the final pass.
The home side also crossed for two tries, to fullback Gareth Anscombe and winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma, but both were ruled out by the television official when referee Jonathan Kaplan asked for them to be reviewed.
Anscombe managed to slot three first half penalties, while Auckland's Chris Noakes replied with two as the hosts went into the break with a 9-6 lead.
Replacement prop Ben Tameifuna did manage to smash over and emulate his uncle Sona Taumalolo, who became a cult figure at the Hamilton-based team for his ability to burrow over when attacking close to the line, to give the Chiefs a 16-6 lead early in the second half.
Kahui then charged down a Francis Saili clearing kick, raced through and grabbed the ball to score. Anscombe converted both tries.
Auckland winger George Moala crossed for a 78th minute consolation try but it was not enough to stop the Chiefs achieving their fourth successive victory over their northern neighbours.
Hurricanes 46 - 30 Kings
Wellington Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett was prepared to put his side's 46-30 victory over South Africa's Southern Kings behind them on Saturday and target bigger Super Rugby challenges down the road.
The home side notched a bonus point inside the first 40 minutes with four tries then bumbled through the second half and never really put the visitors away until Brad Shields scored his side's fifth try with 15 minutes remaining.
Alapati Leuia then scored an intercept try with eight minutes remaining, while fly-half Beauden Barrett added 16 points from the boot as the Hurricanes recorded their third successive win after dropping their first two games.
"Maybe coming off the bye (last week) some of our skills weren't where we want to be," Hammett told reporters at Wellington Regional Stadium.
"Hopefully we can put that one out of our system and be happy that we scored six tries, got five points in the bag and now we can go away and prepare for next week."
The Hurricanes opened the scoring early when Ben May notched his first Super Rugby try, in his 55th game, when he crossed in the third minute after some effective build-up work by both backs and forwards.
Captain Conrad Smith, scrum-half TJ Perenara and lock Jeremy Thrush, also crossed to ensure the Hurricanes had secured a bonus point, while fly-half Beauden Barrett slotted three conversions and penalty.
The home side, who dominated the forward exchanges in the first half were also their own worst enemies, as they gave away silly errors, which Kings fly-half Demetri Catrakilis punished with three penalties that kept his side within touching distance, while he also converted Stephen Sykes' first half try.
"There was lots of good stuff, getting four tries in that first half," Hammett added. "The four tries were really well constructed."
The match, however, lost all shape after the break with the Hurricanes unable to get any momentum as they dropped the ball and were penalised heavily for silly errors.
"We attempted to do that in the second half but we were just a bit inaccurate.
"Sometimes that happens when you get leads and you feel like that you were right on top of it you don't quite put the screws in.
"At this level unless you're 100 percent on in terms of that intensity then it can happen."
Kings' centre Ronnie Cooke scored a 48th minute try, which Catrakilis converted to drag his side to 29-23.
The match, however, went into a dull arm-wrestle before Shields and Leuia scored to blow out the scoreline.
Replacement hooker Hannes Franklin grabbed the King's third try with less than five minutes remaining, though by then there was no chance of a comeback.
The Hurricanes host the New South Wales Waratahs next Saturday.
Brumbies 23-20 Bulls
Christian Lealiifano kicked a penalty after the full-time hooter to give the ACT Brumbies a 23-20 victory, that moved them back to the top of the point standings, over the Bulls in their Super Rugby clash in Canberra.
Bulls centre JJ Engelbrecht had scored a 78th-minute try, which was converted by Morne Steyn to give the South Africans hope of a draw before Lealiifano slotted the long-range penalty after the Bulls had been penalised from the kick-off.
The Brumbies had earlier taken advantage of Morne Mellet being yellow-carded by referee Jonathon White for constantly collapsing the scrum, to stymie the visitors' second half momentum and slot two penalties.
The victory moved them to 27 points on the table.
Last year's champions the Waikato Chiefs had earlier moved to 25 points after they had beaten the Auckland Blues 23-16 in Tauranga.
Much of the first half was played between the 22-metre areas as both sides seemed content to kick for territory and attempt to work off errors inside the opposition half.
The Brumbies forwards surprisingly outmuscled the bigger Bulls pack, allowing their team to make better use of the field position.
Brumbies scrum-half Nic White missed two long-range penalties while inside centre Lealiifano slotted three closer to the posts to give the home side a 9-3 lead. Bulls flyhalf Steyn had slotted a 20th-minute penalty as half time approached.
The Brumbies forwards then began a rolling maul and a series of pick-and-gos to give their side some momentum before fullback Robbie Coleman ran a superb angle from behind the point of attack and scored the only try of the first half, two minutes after the halftime hooter had sounded.
The match opened up more in the second half with Bulls winger Lionel Mapoe losing the ball over the line in the tackle, before Jurgen Visser finished off a well-worked backline move to score his first Super Rugby try in the 48th minute.
Steyn added the conversion then slotted his second penalty of the match four minutes later that brought the visitors to 14-13 and sensing the momentum had shifted.
Bulls loosehead prop Mellett, however, was sinbinned for constantly collapsing the scrum with 17 minutes remaining, which allowed the Brumbies to add two further Lealiifano penalties.
Engelbrecht then finished a counter-attacking movement that had swept from halfway after the Bulls had turned the ball over and Steyn converted from wide out to look like the visitors had earned two points for the draw.
Cheetahs 34-16 Rebels
The Cheetahs won their fourth successive Super Rugby match with a thumping 34-16 victory over the Melbourne Rebels at the Free State Stadium.
The visiting Australian side were still in the game when they trailed 10-6 at halftime, but could not cope with the home side's running and intensity after the break.
The Cheetahs crossed the line five times, to collect a try-scoring bonus point for the first time this season, as they exposed the Rebels out wide, with all of those scores coming from the backs.
The result also continues their dominance over Australian sides in this year's competition after back-to-back wins on the road against the Waratahs and Western Force.
"There were a lot of errors and mistakes, but we are very happy with the win. The guys have been very positive and we are very excited about this year," Cheetahs captain Adriaan Strauss said in a TV interview.
"It's a great team environment at the moment, but it is a long season and we have a long way to go."
After an error-strewn opening, the Cheetahs were the first to get on the scoreboard when Burton Francis kicked a penalty for the home side on 13 minutes after the Rebels were penalised for offside.
James O'Connor drew the visitors level with a penalty of his own after Cheetahs winger Willie le Roux committed the same offence.
The Melbourne-based side took the lead with another penalty by O'Connor, again for offside, as the rain pelted the players and made ball-handling difficult.
The Cheetahs eventually found continuity in attack just three minutes before the interval.
The Rebels had a scrum on their own 22-yard line, but a careless flick from the base of the set-piece saw the Cheetahs turn over possession.
With the visitors scrambling to get their defensive line in shape, the ball was spread wide and Johann Sadie timed his pass to Hennie Daniller perfectly for the full-back to dive in at the corner.
The Cheetahs extended their lead through Raymond Rhule, who showed great pace to finish after centre Robert Ebersohn set him free with a flick pass after beating two defenders.
The home side were starting to dominate when Strauss collected the loose ball after an up and under and showed great hands to send winger Willie le Roux away for his second try of the season and the Cheetahs' third of the day.
The Rebels' cause was not helped when lock Luke Jones received a yellow card for obstruction on Le Roux with just over 10 minutes to play and the Cheetahs exploited the extra man.
They picked up their bonus-point try just seconds later as Sadie crossed in the corner after more excellent work from Strauss.
He bulldozed his way towards the try line and with the Rebels scrambling, the ball came out to Francis and his long pass was picked up by the winger for the easy score.
Rhule turned provider for the Cheetahs' fifth score, his skip-pass giving winger Ryno Benjamin the opportunity to slide in at the corner as the Rebels defence disintegrated.
The Rebels got a consolation try at the death, Cadeyrn Neville going over the line after sloppy play from the Cheetahs as they spilled a line-out just yards out.
The Rebels forward had the easiest of run-ins as he picked up the loose ball and dived over the line.
"It was a big improvement on last week and for 60 minutes we were in the game. Credit to the Cheetahs, they are a fantastic attacking team and if you give them as much ball as we did, they will punish you," Rebels captain Gareth Delve said.
The Cheetahs provisionally move up to fifth in the standings with 18 points while the Rebels are nine points adrift in 13th with two matches of round seven still to be played.
Stormers 14-19 Crusaders
Canterbury Crusaders dominated territory and possession to inflict a 19-14 defeat on the Stormers in a windy Super Rugby clash at Newlands.
The Crusaders put pressure on the Stormers' set pieces all game, winning six of the home team's lineouts and holding the ascendancy in the scrums.
"We wanted to play territory - they have good goalkickers so we didn't want them to tick the scoreboard over. We wanted to play at their end," Crusaders fly-half Tyler Bleyendaal said in a TV interview after the game.
The Crusaders are fifth in the table with 20 points, seven points behind the Brumbies in first place. The Stormers are 10th.
The Stormers briefly had the upper hand in the first half as they took an 11-0 lead, before the Crusaders began to take control and were in front by two points at the break.
After Joe Pietersen had given the home side the lead via a penalty, Siya Kolisi burrowed over the try line from close range after the Stormers had taken the ball forward from an uncontested lineout.
Pietersen missed the simple conversion, but when he landed another penalty the home team had a healthy advantage.
That prefaced a shift in momentum, though, for the Crusaders responded by dominating the rest of the match.
"After a good start we went to bed - the attitude was not there, the commitment lacked at times. It was one of those days where everybody was just a bit flat," Stormers captain Jean de Villiers said.
"The set piece was misfiring, there were missed tackles and handling errors."
Fullback Tom Marshall sliced the Stormers' defence open with a lung-busting run after Dewaldt Duvenage had kicked aimlessly downfield. The ball found its way to Sam Whitelock, who released loose forward Matt Todd to score.
Bleyendaal began to control the match with his kicking out of hand, keeping the Stormers penned in their own half and under the cosh.
The pressure inevitably led to errors and the home side gifted two penalty opportunities to Bleyendaal before the half was out to hand the visitors the lead.
It was more of the same in the second half, the Crusaders camped in the Stormers' half and only kept at bay by some heroic defending.
The Canterbury team took the ball through 26 phases in one attack, much of that in the Stormers' 22, before the South Africans finally managed to clear the danger.
Stormers frustrations boiled over when number eight Duane Vermeulen tipped Zac Guildford off the ground and over as the winger hung on to him after he had made a tackle. He received a yellow card to add to his side's woes.
Bleyendaal extended the Crusaders' lead from the penalty, but they could not take advantage of their numerical advantage despite spending much of the next 10 minutes in the home 22.
On a rare breakout the Stormers closed the deficit to two points through a Pietersen penalty as they doggedly clung on.
Bleyendaal landed another three points to increase the lead to five again.
Finally the Stormers found their rhythm and it was they who had all the ball in the closing stages. Pietersen turned down three kickable penalties to instead set up the lineout, but the Crusaders' defence showed resilience.

Where ivory lives…so babies do
Old customs and new wealth resurrected the desire for ivory trinkets and potions in Asia – surging elephant ivory poaching in Africa. And, at the African Elephant Summit in Botswana, researchers revealed a direct connection to the high death rates of infants in Africa.
In 2012, 15,000 elephants were slaughtered for illegal ivory, outpacing the elephant birthrate. The local child birth rate that year? 1,400 mortalities per 10,000 live births.
What's the birth connection? The locals are poverty-stricken. They see nothing from the sale of ivory. No money to care for pregnant mothers with birth problems. Those 15,000 elephants could have been a captivating attraction for profit-producing wildlife tourism – as is being developed in the protected Gabon wildlife refuge area.
This research tells the story: Where ivory lives…so babies do!
This drawing hopes to spread that story – and the real human value of wildlife protection.

Prevent And Treat Headaches
common causes of headaches
Dietary causes
- Foods high in tyramine: aged cheese, yogurt, vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Foods that contain sulfites (sulfur dioxide): wine, dried fruit and some shellfish.
- Alcohol: It contains ethanol, which causes dehydration and expands blood vessels, leading to head pain.
- Cured meats, hot dogs, bacon, and deli meats: These foods all contain the preservative nitrite, which gives meat its pink hue and causes headaches.
- MSG (monosodium glutamate): Meant to enhance the flavor of food, this additive is found in Chinese food, some potato chips, nuts, and other processed foods.
- Caffeine: Although caffeine is found in many pain relievers to help improve the intestinal absorption of these drugs, it can also be the cause of headaches (due to excessive consumption or withdrawal). Because caffeine constricts blood vessels, a prolonged lack of caffeine after the body has gotten used to a regular dose can cause the blood vessels to dilate, leading to headaches.
- Drink ginger tea or steep ginger root in hot water. Ginger contains a small amount of antihistamines and is believed to act as an anti-inflammatory.
- Increase the amounts of fruits and vegetables in your diet to ensure that your body receives adequate amounts of vitamins and antioxidants — or take a multivitamin.
- Gradually cut down on caffeine to avoid caffeine withdrawal headaches.
- Cut down on foods containing nitrites, sulfites and tyramine.
Low blood sugar
Going several hours without eating, eating inconsistently or not eating enough can trigger headaches. Fasting affects the levels of certain neurotransmitters, which can dilate blood vessels and lead to headaches.
How to stop the pain: Eat regular meals to ensure that your body receives a continuous supply of glucose, and stay one step ahead of the pain by keeping healthy snacks handy throughout the day.
DehydrationOur bodies are about 60% water, so you can imagine that when your cells start to shrivel up from lack of water, the results aren't pretty. If your brain cells become even moderately dehydrated, nasty headaches will ensue.
How to stop the pain: Since thirst is a sign that you are already dehydrated, try to avoid getting the pasties. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, and more if you are exercising. During exercise, try to consume water every 10 to 15 minutes.
Lifestyle habitsGetting an inadequate amount of sleep, not getting enough exercise or feeling stressed, tense or depressed can easily bring on a headache.
How to stop the pain: Endorphins are your body's natural painkillers, and you can raise their levels through regular exercise and laughter. Cash in your girlfriend's IOU by asking for a head and neck massage to relieve tension or try a more alternative stress reliever, such as acupuncture or deep-breathing relaxation exercises. You can also place a cold compress on your head to reduce the swelling and numb the pain.
Stop staring at the sun, get yourself some glasses and quit that medication...

"Rob Ford is the only candidate who can really feel good about his performance."
Newstalk 1010 host and Senior Editor at The Grid Magazine, Edward Keenan says while there was no knock-out punch, Ford left the best impression among the five mayoral candidates in Wednesday's televised debate. The sitting mayor faced off with Olivia Chow, John Tory, Karen Stintz and David Soknacki in a session punctuated by un-moderated free-for-alls, with candidates shouting over one another to be heard.
"He (Ford) was the one who looked the most in command of what he wanted to say, he was completely unflustered, he didn't look nervous, he didn't speak from notes."
While Keenan says Ford beating the drum on his economic policy is unlikely to have persuaded fact-checkers or those who follow city politics closely, the mayor's calm demeanour and sticking to message likely left an impression on casual viewers.
Keenan doesn't get the impression Ford's challengers did much preparation ahead of the debate.
While he thinks Olivia Chow made strong points in debate and had some good lines, "it seemed to me that quite a few times, she tried to work her way around to a clever line...rather than following a straight line of thought." Keenan calls John Tory and his performance "unmemorable".
Toronto voters will choose the city's mayor October 27th.

A Must Read - Share
49ers receiver Ricardo Lockette didn't get any action in 2012, spending most of it on the inactive list. But the 6-foot-2, 211-pound speedster has been spending time with Colin Kaepernick this offseason in hopes of being a productive member of the 49ers offense in 2013. "There is something special there -- I can feel it," coach Jim Harbaugh said of Lockette back in March.

The suspect in a burglary at Bonita Wal-Mart, captured by a surveillance camera, turned himself in to authorities.
Detectives say 19-year-old Rodney Warren McDonald of 3125 36th Street, has been charged with commercial burglary and possession of burglary tools.
Surveillance images were shown Tuesday on WTOK-TV. Police say those broadcasts led to McDonald surrendering.
The surveillance camera showed a white male using bolt cutters from the store to break open a locked storage cabinet, taking a laptop computer and running from the store June 28.
Officials say McDonald is being held on a no-bond status at this time.

Myers & were very impressed with the resort-style quality, private but accessible location, friendly neighbors and fabulous waterside setting. We completely renovated this unit to our fussy standards. We used it occasionally and rented it a bit for two years, have resided here recently, and are now moving to our permanent FL home. So the condo will return to its intended use as a weekend place and be available for limited rental by others as well.
Janis Zachman purchased this condo in 2012
Our unit is the newest and best renovation at Punta Rassa. Be among those who enjoy it. High end finishes--hickory floors, shaker cabinetry and doors, nickel accents and hardware, granite everywhere, all new furnishings. Prior floor plan reworked for more privacy and space. Coastal cottage look with old Florida vintage accents. Feedback: stunning, dramatic, cozy, gorgeous.
We are thrilled to have this unit available to us for our occasional use and to share our part of Florida Paradise with a select few people who will enjoy as well.
This condo is beautifully decorated and well-stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The furniture and beds are almost new and very comfy. We especially loved being on the water's edge. The sunsets were spectacular! From the lanai, we viewed dolphins and sea birds daily, and even spied some manatees swimming through on their way to warmer waters. There is a lot to do without leaving the premises, such as fishing from the pier, swimming at the heated pools, walking on the hiking trail, and drinking and dining at the fine bars and restaurants. This location is also convenient for visiting Sanibel and Captiva Islands, and Fort Myers Beach. The owners were very easy to work with, too. We highly recommend this property for a memorable vacation!
From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were wowed by the thoughtful and carefully appointed unit. It was totally renovated; from the interior doors to the flooring, kitchen and bathrooms plus more and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was thoughtfully outfitted with what's needed to prepare meals in-house. Clean towels and bedding was of good quality, with extra care taken to protect pillows and beds. All furniture being new was clean and comfortable. We have stayed at a lot of 4 and 5 star hotels, and Janis and her husband has made this unit and our stay for the 1 month + 1 week stay a 5 star experience I would definitely stay again and refer my friends and family to this place.
The views were to die for; with dolphins, jumping fish, pelicans, egrets and water sports activities along with the panoramic view of Sanibel/Captiva Islands and gorgeous sunsets vying for our attention. It was almost difficult to leave the unit to go about our daily outings. The location of Punta Rassa was, I found over the many stays in this area - the best due to its close proximity to the world famous beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Marriott's Sanibel Harbour Resort, Sanibel Harbour Yacht Club being steps away was a real convenience for its restaurants and entertainment, as was Sanibel Port Marina (short drive away) for its Lighthouse restaurant, entertainment and boat and jet ski rentals and tour boats.
I love Punta Rassa, and this condo. Thank you Janis and Jay for having us.
The condo was just as the pictures portray: charming, bright, comfortable! I loved the fact that everything had been so recently re-done (and in extremely good taste) and reflected that barely used quality. Most people like to eat out a lot while on vacation, but I loved the new gourmet kitchen, and loved to cook in it. We never got tired of the views from the lanai, or the beauty of nature that surrounds you while you are here: dolphins, birds, plants, trees, flowers, etc. The owners were very responsive when we had one minor problem with the A/C. It was fixed immediately. We love the beaches at Captiva, so this location was perfect! That, along with the numerous restaurants, shopping, and other attractions, made this a perfect place for us. We would definitely recommend it to family and friends.
A meticuosly kept condo with stunning views both day and night. During the day enjoy the view of boats and dolphins, at night you will be witness to the most spectacular sunsets. Janis has carefully put together a binder with tons of information to assist you in enjoying the best of what the surrounding area has to offer.
Fantastic place to rent and would definately rent again.
Absolutely amazing--there is attention to detail in terms of decor, there are amazing views both day and night (boats and dolphins during the day and stunning sunsets at night) and a helpful binder with information galore about the area which Janis has meticuoulsy put together to ensure you know all of the wonderful activies and restaurants availaable in the area. The condo is spotless and very well maintained. Remember the words, "location", "location", "location".
I would highly recommend this property. The listing photos were very accurate. Very clean and well maintained. The owner was always helpful and mailed a detailed listings of items in condo before we arrived. The view from screened porch is the greatest.
Ford & Edison Winter Estates; outlet shopping, Ft. Myers River District, Boston Red Sox Spring Training; shelling and swimming @ Sanibel and Captiva Island beaches; walk to dinner and sunset cruises; walk to upscale spa & fitness center; kayak and large boat rentals; fishing on our pier; lots of golf; nightlife at Ft. Myers Beach; great County parks. Gorgeous private setting--lots to do at Punta Rassa or just relax and enjoy the gorgeous setting.

Mayweather Says Espinoza The Perfect Piece Against HBO
By Luke Furman
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) says the best move that Showtime ever did was hire Stephen Espinoza to run their sports programming. Espinoza replaced the departing Ken Hershman, who left Showtime to run HBO's sports division. Mayweather made his Showtime debut in May with a twelve round decision over Robert Guerrero. He returns on September 14th against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs).
"I want to say this, the right move was putting [Stephen Espinoza] at the pinnacle of Showtime. This guy [Espinoza] plays chess. You can have all of those pieces over there [at HBO], all I need is the pinnacle piece. And everything will fall into place like dominos," Mayweather said.
Mayweather grew his career on HBO, but says he technically never left the network because he was never under contract. He does have a long term contract with Showtime.
"People say I left HBO. How could I leave when I didn't have a contract with HBO? I've been fighting on HBO for years without a contract," Mayweather said.

Audience Reviews for La Vie en Rose (La Mome)
La Vie en Rose needs more than one viewing to understand what the filmmakers are trying to say. I loved the way Olivier Dahan took Edith Piaf's life, and took it for what it was. Her life is a very depressing and sad story with happiness and relevant parts scattered throughout. Basically, the life of famed french singer Edith Piaf is life is like a scattered puzzle. Random pieces are found when we are looking for something else. The movie really tries to show the way she lived her life in the way they put the film together. It jumps back and forth, sometimes without giving timelines, she's old in one scene, and young in the next. While I was watching the film, I got very confused, and near the end of it's almost 2.5 hour running time, I felt like the film was starting to drag. Maybe that's partly because I didn't understand the film for what it was. The cinematography, the sets, the art direction, and costumes were all very impressive. The music was wonderful and made me feel like I was in Paris. Edith Piaf's voice is just marvellous and I think it can connect with anyone no matter who they are. But I think the main reason this film is a must see is for no other reason than Marion Cotillard. I only have one word for that performance as Edith Piaf: Jaw-dropping. She simply becomes Piaf. I mean there is no Marion Cotillard in there, it's all Piaf. That performance is probably one of the best of the last decade. So overall, La Vie en Rose is an artsy, sad and depressing biopic on France's famed singer Edith Piaf with a simply mesmerizing performance from Marion Cotillard.
Super Reviewer
Good lead performance in a very average bio pic.
Super Reviewer
La Vie En Rose is an incredible biopic on famed French singer Edith Piaf. Brilliantly acted and directed, Edith Piaf is wonderfully portrayed by actress Marion Cotillard who delivers the greatest performance of her career. La Vie En Rose is a phenomenal drama film, and it portrays the struggles and sadness of singer Edith Piaf perfectly. An incredible film that is brilliantly acted, directed and above all, told is captured on film. The result is a flawless film that depicts a sad individual. Edith Piaf led a turmoiled life, and every bit of it is brilliantly captured on film. The result is quite possibly the greatest biopic ever filmed. Marion Cotillard is the perfect choice to play Edith Piaf, and she really looks the part. I think she definitely deserved the Oscar for her performance. The rest of the cast do a terrific job as well, and each of them brings something truly wonderful to this already impressive work. La Vie En Rose is a phenomenal portrait of a singer who led a melancholic lifestyle. A superb film in every respect, La Vie En Rose is one of the essential biopics and not since Clint Eastwood's Bird has a picture been this vivid in showing the conflicted and troubled side of famed artist. This is a powerful film, and one that you won't easily forget. You'll come to understand Edith Piaf and her struggles, but you'll also admire her gifts. A beautiful and stunning film.

Call of Duty 4: Wow. The online multiplayer is great. The offline version is supposedly short, but I haven't had the time yet to beat it, so I'm sure I have a couple of levels left before I'm done. The game is amazing, on a graphical standpoint and a sheer playability standpoint. I love the 'RPG' elements of multiplayer, and I love how smoothly it runs. Kudos to the Call of Duty series for always getting it right, at least when Infinity Ward is responsible. I don't really have much else to say about it, except go get it if you haven't already.
Mass Effect: I love this game's deep, involving storyline but I am so f***ing pissed at Bioware and Microsoft for releasing a game that is inexcusably as glitchy as this game is. I mean, its great to be ambitious, but you have to actually live up to that ambition. Mass Effect does not. Bioware fed the media a bunch of bullshit about whole galaxies to explore, and how your actions will influence everything, etc. The game released does indeed allow you to 'explore' galaxies, by clicking on planets and going, "WOW, THIS PLANET SURE HAS A LOT OF PLUTONIUM! AMAZING. HERF!" And then you move on, since you can only maybe land on one planet per solar system, and 'survey' two others and learn what the description of the planet already explains. WOW THIS GAS GIANT HAS GAS ON IT! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!
If you are actually able to land a planet or a moon, usually it is desolate and empty, except for some random pieces of ruin and maybe a couple of what seem to be Will Wright's version of monkey aliens. Wow, exhilarating. Running over glitchy monkeys gets old pretty fast.
I'll admit, the main storyline is great, the main planets are well realized - and once you get over the wonky combat and understand it, it actually does become a lot of fun. I'm having a blast with using a combination of my shotgun/pistol powers and my biotic powers. However, there are so many awful glitches. For one, that has been mentioned numerous times before - my squad's A.I. simply sucks. (I use Urdnot Wrex and T'Ahisha Malyisha Bonqueesha or whatever her name is...the robotic chick whose race made the geth. Ashley's a
Secondly, the load-in glitch is really annoying. I mean granted, Bioshock has the same texture-load-in issue, but at least you can reset the cache and it does pretty well. You'll be watching a cut scene in Mass Effect after playing for several minutes and then suddenly, an old dude's wrinkles will pop in and you'll be like, "WHOA SHIT THAT GUY JUST AGED LIKE 50 YEARS WHAT IS GOING ON?!?"
Ok, maybe not as dramatically, but I'm sure you get the point. I know its a toss-up between making the player wait or loading the textures in as you play to make the experience more smooth...but honestly, even if I had to wait ten minutes before my game started just so all of the textures would remain the way they were intended, I have no problem with that.
Overall, I think Mass Effect really didn't deserve a 9 or any of the high scores it has been given. Maybe an 8.2 or something. Just because its the only competent RPG on the 360 doesn't necessarily allow it a 9. Its a great game and a lot of fun, but it has way too many glitches to be allowed that, especially when fluidly running games like CoD4 or even Assassin's Creed came out this season to basically say, "YOU LOOK GREAT, MASS EFFECT....FOR ME TO POOP ON!"
And on that note, I'll switch to the next game on the list.
Assassin's Creed: You know...the scores on this game remind me of everything that tends to piss me off about videogame editors. Editors spend their time playing so many games from so many different companies that they tend to lose sight of the consumer's interests. I'm really happy that Assassin's Creed has done as well as it has and has been appreciated for all of the work that has been put into recreating the setting and era - its a beautiful game with a great, fluidly moving combat system and an awesome 'parkour simulator' as everyone likes to call it. Yeah, I can definitely agree that some (ok, many) of the gameplay elements are lazy - the missions are repetitive, the voice-acting is repetitive and gets annoying, the elements of procuring information are lazy and not well thought out, and Kristen Bell looks and acts just as ugly and annoying as she was on Veronica Mars and as her stupid, flat, boring, stereotypical character is on Heroes. Did I mention I really hate her? She can't act her way out of a paper bag.
Anyhow, back to the game. So yeah, the game's mechanics are lazy. But you know what? Crackdown's mechanics were EVEN MORE EPIC in laziness than Assassin's Creed, and that game's graphics were not nearly as full of subtlety and beauty as the latter. Videogame editors try to cite the collection of the orbs and how it builds your superpowers, etc - but honestly? Crackdown annoyed that shit out of me because it basically just stunted your character and was like, "OK KIDS GO COLLECT THOSE ORBS!" and then finally, you get the powers you should've had from the beginning and then realize your life is meaningless and why are you even playing this stupid game? I mean, at least Assassin's Creed ACTUALLY HAS SOME SORT OF STORYLINE, as awkward as it may be. Crackdown was straight up retarded in that sense. You just ran around shooting things and jumping really high. Assassins' Creed actually has a deep combat system. Crackdown was just a lure for the Halo 3 Beta, which I played and then decided I didn't really care about Halo.
So, I think Assassin's Creed deserves an 8.0 from editors all over as well. If you approach the game as any average casual gamer, you'll have a blast playing it. The animations are smooth, the graphics are simply beautiful, and the combat system is actually a lot of fun. Sure, it might get boring if you play it for 9 hours straight, doing mission after mission of the same, repetitive shit - collect info in a cutscene that doesn't even really draw you in from eavesdropping and/or pick-pocketing and/or interrogation, go hunt down your target, kill him, run away, rinse and repeat. But if you just play it for awhile in between other activities, or other games - the world will repeatedly draw you in. You'll have fun running over people with a horse, or making a crowd suddenly disperse by attacking some dude, or running into a lady with a pot on her head and thus alerting the guards and causing you to jump up buildings and run over planks, etc. The game is only fun if YOU make it fun. That's the whole point of the sandbox genre. You're supposed to create the story, with a bit of guidance. The repetitive tasks don't really matter if you find new ways of evading escape, or clever attempts at assassination.
My beef with videogame editors is that they get hyped up for a game from a big developer - "OMG, ITS UBISOFT, ITS GONNA BE AMAZING" - and they raise the bar for themselves up to incredibly high levels. And while its true that a level of quality is expected from a reknown developer, it doesn't mean that said developer is required to hit perfection in every aspect every time they release a game. Assassin's Creed may be flawed in the sense that the plotline mechanics are kind of lazily strung together - but as a pick-up-and-play game that allows the gamer several choices in how they approach many different situations, it exceeds beyond what I personally expected from the game.
Plus, its not glitchy as hell like certain other games from certain other big-name developers. It actually, you know, works.

Last night we saw a number of big leaks hit the net, and we didn't think it would be long before the Apple September 2014 keynote invites went out. Well, today is the day, and as you'd expect, the invites don't tell us much.
Apple wearable tipped for release next month
We saw a new smartwatch announced last week from Timex, and we got dozens of new Moto 360 photos as well. Now it's time for the iWatch. Noted Apple aficionado, John Gruber, has kicked things up a notch by saying an Apple wearable is coming next month. Notice we're saying 'wearable' and not iWatch…
The iPhone 6 will be revealed during Apple Event on September 9
If you've been wondering what day the iPhone 6 will be shown off, it's time to mark those calendars. Apple has an 'event' scheduled for September 9, and that will be the day when they finally announce a bigger iPhone.
The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 won't have Sapphire Display, 5.5-inch model coming in December
Two new iRumors have hit the web today, and both touch on the upcoming iPhone 6's release date with some iWatch info thrown in for good measure. While they come from different sources, they both line up perfectly with everything we've heard so far in regards to the release date of the iPhone 6.
Apple and Swatch team up for an iWatch
If you were a child of the 80s or 90s, there's a good chance you know what a swatch watch is. The plastic watches were a fashion staple at the time, and the stylish timepieces may be making a comeback as Swatch is rumored to have partnered with Apple on an iWatch.
Apple iWatch to arrive with Three Variants in Q3
Many thought 2014 would be the year of Google Glass, but that's changed thanks to Android Wear and a potential game changer from Apple later this year. The iWatch is coming eventually, and a new report out of Korea has it arriving in three different form factors.
iPhone 6 latest news, video and iWatch details
News and leaks on the iPhone 6 is steadily flooding in now, and we've now seen plenty of dummy models and also images claiming to be of the real deal. Today we have iPhone 6 latest news and a video, as well as further iWatch details. Just in the last few days we've shown images […]
iPhone 6 and iWatch Pro designs to inspire
The name of Dani Yako is well known in the world of concept device designs and today we have the designer's latest ideas to show you. Below you can see the iPhone 6 and iWatch Pro as imagined by Yako, and we'd be interested to know what you think of this styling for the upcoming […]
iWatch launch headed for October says report
There's plenty of curiosity in the upcoming Apple iWatch wearable technology device and one of the most-asked questions we receive about it concerns when it will be available. A new report out of Japan claims that the iWatch launch is headed for October. Back in April industry sources were citing a September launch for the […]
iWatch video introduction worth looking at
We've already reported many times about the Apple iWatch that is rumored to be releasing in September, and we've seen plenty of design ideas. What we haven't yet seen is an iWatch video introduction and that's what we have for you today. We have to point out that this is a parody though, but as […]

The Wigan full-back ran in four tries as the Warriors breached their Kingstone Press Championship opponents' line 11 times. Wigan led 32-6 at the break after a 15-minute blitz at the start of the half saw them run in four of their six tries. The Centurions may have looked out of the comfort zone in defence, but in attack they were impressive with Rob Parker going over.
Tomkins ran in a first-half hat-trick as the full-back looked to be enjoying himself, while Pat Richards added two of his own with Josh Charnley also crossing. After the break it was Richards and Charnley who both completed their hat-tricks as the Warriors ran in a further five tries to comfortably book their place in the next round.

"I received an invitation made by Wedding Paper Divas some time ago and thought the card was beautiful. When I had the opportunity to order invitations myself, I decided to use them and am very pleased with the final product.The paper quality, printing and opportunity to personalize are wonderful features. Friends and family commented on how nice it was. I do wish the company had the option for overnight delivery. I ordered on short notice with a holiday weekend coming up and would have liked the speedier service even if it meant there was an extra charge. I would highly recommend this product/company"

How it all Started
In 1953 a committee of the Gunnison Volunteer Firemen approached the President of Western State Colorado University to suggest sponsoring two evenings of band music by the Western State Colorado University Band and its newly organized Honor Band for Colorado high school students. The proceeds from these concerts would be used to replace clothing and other personal equipment damaged in protecting the lives and property of Gunnison town and college residents. The plan was promptly approved. In 1990 the Western Slope Choral Festival concert was included as a benefit concert for the Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department.
In the fifty-five years since its inception the concerts have featured many of the nation's most illustrious musicians, including the late Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the famous "Boston Pops" orchestra. Fiedler, who was a famous fire engine buff, inaugurated the tradition of closing the concert with Goldman's Third Alarm March, in which the band is augmented by a motley crew of firemen, performing on a clanging of bells and earsplitting sirens of the avocation.
Western State Colorado University is proud of the Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department and appreciative of its efficient and indispensable contribution to school and community. These concerts are a token of that appreciation.
Firefighter of the Year Award
The Robert R. Williams (1927-1977) Memorial Award was established by the Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department in 1982 as a result of a fund created by the family of Chief Williams (1963-1969) in 1978.
The intent of the award is to give recognition annually to an exceptional firefighter for outstanding service to the community.
