>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great friendly organisation. picturesque courseIn full: Third time of running. Was a bit worried it would be too hot with full sun but nice cooling breeze. Challenging up the hills from 2 to 5 miles but lovely run down for the last 2 miles. Really friendly and well organised, good support from the Villagers.Date of review: October 5, 2014
In short: Hilly as ever but Sun, Blue Sky & fantastic autumn coloursIn full: I love this event except at 8 miles & 11! The feeling of elation as you power down the last mile is fantastic. 10th time of running & Happy that I ran it within 1 minute of my time 10 years ago. And no wet feet. Great Organisation & marshallingDate of review: November 4, 2013
In short: Flooded Hilly ChilternsIn full: Wettest I've ever got. After torrential overnight rain the water was pouring off the Chilterns flooding all of the low points up to knee high at some points.

The ITTF recently announced the recognition of some 22 world-wide organizations/clubs as designated training center "Hot Spots" under a program organized by ITTF Executive Director of Education and Training, Mikael Andersson. Three USATT Clubs were recognized for inclusion in the program:
- ICC Table Tennis Center, Milpitas, CA
- The Top Spin, San Jose, CA
- Lily Yip TT Center, Dunellen, NJ
These three clubs first submitted an application to the ITTF for inclusion in the program. Upon receipt of the applications the ITTF requested that USATT review the applications and endorse those felt to meet the minimal specifications described by the ITTF. We assembled an interview panel that consisted of the Chairs of our Clubs Advisory Committee, our Coaching Advisory Committee, our High Performance Committee, the Co-Chair of our Athlete Advisory Committee, our High Performance Director and the CEO. We then conducted teleconference interviews with the applicant clubs before submitting our endorsements of each. We are very excited about the inclusion of our clubs in this program as it reflects positively on them and programs in the future.
Michael D. Cavanaugh, CO - USA Table Tennis
Additional quotes:
"It is a great pleasure to see USA Clubs entering the international high performance arena. I am confident that the selected clubs will work very hard to improve to the next level and I wish all of them to have the strength, energy and patience to succeed in this endeavor."
- Teodor Gheorghe, COO - USA Table Tennis
"Having these 3 deserving clubs selected as ITTF hotspots is a very important step in helping the USA build the infrastructure necessary for consistent internationally competitive excellence."
- Dennis Davis, Chair, USATT Junior Advisory Committee
"It was an honor and a pleasure to take part in reviewing applications for the ITTF's new and exciting Hot Spot designation. I wondered if we dare endorse three clubs, two of which are only ten miles apart in California. We are delighted that the ITTF concurred - each of these three clubs is too good to omit from the list."
- Ross Brown, Chair, USA Table Tennis High Performance Committee
"The establishment of "World-Class" table tennis training centers in this country has long been a dream of the USATT. With the announcement of three USATT Clubs achieving the coveted ITTF "Hot-Spot" status, this dream has now taken a big step towards becoming a reality. The USATT Coaching Committee congratulates all three clubs and pledges its full support for their excellent programs."
- Richard McAfee, Chair, USATT Coaching Advisory Committee
Attached you will find detailed information from the ITTF on the program and a complete listing of the Hot Spots identified.

The Creators Project: You have a job that you describe as getting paid to play. How did you get to the point where you can do that?
Lumpens: My major in college was visual communication design, and I had interests in various social cultures like music and dance. The best way to express all that together was through video. And video doesn't have to be simply seen through a screen -- we try to escape the frame and expand out into various other art forms.
What does it mean to escape the screen?
Escaping the screen allows us to interact with the audience. Technology has evolved tremendously in recent years. It has opened up the areas that artists like us are able to enter into and make more interesting. I think the biggest influence has been the improvement in hardware technology, the machines and parts we use to create these effects.
Have you always been interested in technological developments and hardware?
No, not necessarily. In a way we are novices in terms of hardware and software. To make up for it, we try to think of the story first and worry about how we are going to express it later. During college we focused our studies more on concepts and emotions.
How did you come up with the name Lumpens?
According to my understanding, the word is German and means a class "lower than the bourgeoisie." During high school my professors called me that because that's how I was working -- in a small room looking all disheveled and whatnot. It was a school nickname, but I think it fits well with the kind of job we're doing. And, also, I didn't want be classified as bourgeoisie, but as the best of the Lumpens.
For most of your projects, the line between pure art and commercial endeavors is blurry at best. Do you view this as a positive development?
I think it's good. In fact, I think it should have happened a long time ago. But I don't think it's because the advertising companies have become more artistic. It's because we live in an age when everyone wants new things every minute -- things that are newer than new things, actually. Since technology has developed exponentially, artists like me are able to create and express beyond the previous limited realm of galleries and museums. That's why advertising companies find and request our work -- to show that they are bold enough to try something new.
Many of your projects are so big and bright, it's difficult imagine how you thought of them in the first place.
I think our brainstorming process is similar to other designers. First we think about the concept, then we make a storyboard, brainstorm, create images, and connect them to complete it. For example, why does that tree shake the way it does? What kind of emotion does that tree shake with? What if the leaves weren't leaves but cigarettes? We experiment with those kind of ideas as if we were gods. (laughs)
What do you think video art and commercials will look like in 20 years?
The world's expectations of what they hope to get out of the marriage of art and technology keeps climbing higher. I guess that becomes the impetus for better collaborations between artists and the people with the power to pay us. This obsession with new and newer things actually causes people to look to the past. When you see commercials from the 60's and 70's today, they're hilarious in the ways that they're dated. Who knows what we'll come up with next.

Few things are more classic than dinner and a movie. But what about dinner at the movies? AMC Easton just opened Dine-In Theatre sections, where guests can enjoy the latest flick while eating a hot meal. I had doubts about the concept (a similar one has been available for a couple of years at the Movie Tavern in Hilliard.) Would I balance a plate of food on my lap while servers walked around the theater, irritating me as they blocked the screen and made noise?
About the theater:
A server showed us to our seats (choose them online or at the box office for $9-15 per person, depending on the time and room) and took a drink order as soon as we sat down. Most seats were arranged in sets of two, with an armrest in the middle and tables on the sides for plates. Each seat also has a tray that swivels to rest in front of you. Need a server during the movie? Use the call button next to your chair.
Servers take orders and answer questions in a whisper while the movie is on. It was difficult to hear my server only a couple of times, during a loud scene. Seeing other servers walking around wasn't as annoying as I feared. But we were in a pretty empty theater, and it could be a bigger distraction in a packed room.
The overall look of the room is more upscale than your typical movie theater, and it gave off a definite restaurant ambience.
About the food:
The menu is packed with crowd-friendly eats like pasta, flatbreads, burgers, salads and quesadillas. Patrons also can have their pick from a full bar, where specialty frou-frou drinks include a Caribbean Cooler and an Oreo Mudslide.
We started with the Wings & Things Sampler, which included onion rings, cheese sticks, spicy Buffalo chicken wings and Parmesan fries. It was a little awkward to share an appetizer because of the way the seats are arranged, especially for the dipping sauce.
I also tried the Fresh Fruit Salad, a combination of strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple and melon dressed in just the right amount of honey and citrus sauce. Toasted pecans added crunch.
You can order food throughout the movie — including popcorn with free refills. The food tasted better than I expected, and it was a nice change from the usual movie routine.

In terms of its depravity, America is beginning to look like ancient Rome as it plunges into new depths of sexual immorality. Here are a few examples of how pervasive our perversions have become:
In the last 50 years, public opinion on fornication has changed dramatically. Educational institutions used to discourage premarital sex. Now they begin preparing children as early as grade-school for safe-sex courses in junior high school, warning them about STDs and handing out free condoms.
In the same amount of time, the nation has shifted from condemning homosexual behavior to accepting, condoning, encouraging, and protecting it legally. Homosexual "marriage" is on the rise, and those who criticize homosexuality are labeled bigots, guilty of "hate speech."
Pornography is now a billion dollar industry. Like typical drug-dealers, pornographers offer your first taste free-of-charge. All it takes is the click of the mouse.
If the recent Amazon controversy is any indication, it would seem even pedophilia has a market these days. (I can't believe I'm even writing about this!)
And let's not forget the old, commonplace sin of adultery. Blushing over that sin is definitely a thing of the past. Truth be told, adultery is one of the most insidious of them all. It has decimated families and is the likely culprit that has given rise to much of the aforementioned perversion.
So, what does all that have to do with God's will? Lots.
As Christians living in a sexually-saturated culture, the Bible commands us to live sanctified lives. That is God's will, clearly revealed.
If that seems impossible to you, if the pervasiveness of depravity seems like an insurmountable problem, remember this: there's nothing new under the sun. First-century Christians lived in a similar culture—in some ways it was even worse—and God still expected the pursuit of sexual purity (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8). It's no different for you and me today.
This is the will of God—your sanctification. Here's John to talk more about it . . .
To review, here's what John said about being sanctified: Stay away from sex sins. Keep your body pure. Don't act like the world. Don't defraud others sexually.
Those are some of the most critical problems of our day, problems that touch every local church. Here's the question as it relates to following God's will: How does sexual immorality hinder us in recognizing and following God's will? Or, to state it positively, how does sexual purity help us recognize and follow God's will?

The message is titled, "Taking the Mystery Out of Knowing God's Will." Below is a link where you can listen, read, or watch the entire sermon:
I was just wondering, we are commanded to be sanctified. Well does God give us special tools, other than reading the bible and our own will power, because i've read in the bible numerous times that the Spirit of God dwells inside of us Christians, and I'm just wondering should we let the Spirit control us...As in quit trying to fight it ourselves, and let the Spirit work..because our will power is extremely weak and i'll get in situations where my will power is too weak, and i'll fall into that sin. But ever since i've had the understanding of the Spirit and how it dwells inside of me, i quit trying to fight the temptation off and let the Spirit work. And the Spirit has been victorious every time!
That is an excellent question! I'm having difficulty understanding what you mean by quit trying and let the Spirit work. I'm not sure how one does that or what that looks like.
You are quite correct that the Spirit dwells in believers and I'm convinced Ephesians 5:18 is a command to be controlled by the Spirit (as opposed to seeking additional filling like a soda refill). So the question, then, is how does the Spirit control us?
I would say the Spirit controls us the same way the government controls us, namely, as we obey the laws established we are allowing ourselves to be controlled by the establishment--be it the government or the Spirit. In other words, I believe that being controlled by the Spirit simply means to act in obedience to Scripture.
According to 2 Peter 3:18 we have all that we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. In other words, the more we know Jesus Christ (His character, will, plan, nature, etc.), the more we have what we need to be godly. The more we understand what God requires of us, the more ability we have to live like Christ.
Since the Spirit is dwelling within us, we don't need more of God, we have God dwelling in us, we are alive in the Spirit, and have spiritual strength through the Spirit. Therefore we need content to add to that strength. We need direction to apply that strength. So a person struggling with sin doesn't need more of the Spirit, they need more knowledge of Scripture and practice obeying Scripture.
Does that make sense? How would you explain "quit trying to fight temptation off and let the Spirit work"? Perhaps this is a better question, if someone asked you how to overcome temptation, what would you tell them to do?
Must keep fighting temptations so we can grow. Jesus is there to catch us when we fall for He endured the temptations and never sinned cause
Jesus our Lord God is without sin. Jesus is our King.
Oh well i was just like saying what if i don't have that will power to quit, like i know very well what Scripture say's but somehow i always seem to fail, like say i have an addiction which i have never been able to come. Does God give us a certain Spirit to overcome? I mean Galatians 5.17 says "The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh." I understand we are given the Holy Spirit which dwells inside us, but what i dont understand is this. It basically says the flesh is fighting the Spirit and the Spirit is fighting the flesh, It doesn't say My will power is fighting the flesh. and the flesh is fighting My will power...it says the Spirit is doing the fighting. I wonder if the battle is not mine, but if there is a Spirit inside of me that's there to fight my battles.
# 11, Cristian.
"a Spirit"?
As in all things, we are not excused of our responsability in our Christian life. It's by being Spirit-filled (through the knowledge of Him, as Gabriel explains it) that you are capable of overcoming the flesh and keep on walking on the path of sanctification.
Yea good point. We have to fight our own battles. But i was just reading a book by Watchmen Nee called "The Normal Christian Life" and in one of the chapter, he kind of explains it like that we should surrender and let the Spirit fight for us? So Idk..
God promises that we can kick the hardest sins. The key is loving God more that the sin. Sometimes the sin got started as a survival technique, sometimes it is just a sinful desire. The answer is the same, get to know God and love and value His companionship to the point that the sinful desires no longer have their hold.
Seek God with all our heart (Jer 29:11-13, Heb 11:6) and we do this with prayer, reading and studying Scripture, obeying God, meditating on God's attributes and Scripture and memorizing His word.
In addition to these, we have to resist temptation. The following is adapted from "Introduction to Biblical Counseling" by John MacArthur and Wayne Mack.
1 - Recognize and acknowledge in the earliest stages of temptation that you are being tempted; and STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. (Jas 1:13-15)
2 - Quickly ask God for His help to resist (Prov 2:1-7)
3 - If possible, remove yourself immediately from the source of temptation
4 - Identify the unbiblical desire that would be served by yielding to the temptation;
5 - Quote and meditate on appropriate Scripture;
6 - Remind yourself of God's presence, power and promises;
7 - Mentally and verbally make a commitment to do the godly thing;
8 - Get busy with a min-engaging, godly activity;
9 - Repeat key aspects of this temptation plan until the power of the temptation is reduced.
10 - Plan your life to keep away from temptation. Ps 119:101 "I have kept my feet from every evil path to that I might obey Your word."
Watchman Nee is good on some fundamental doctrines, but he has a dangerous tendency to be mystical and philosophical on many other points, such as Revelation, hermeneutics (Bible Study), and the Holy Spirit. I'm speaking from my own interaction with his material. Be cautious when reading him.
The way you're phrasing your comments about achieving victory over temptation is, well, odd. It sounds like the old Keswick movement that took many Christians by storm in the 19th century—the philosophy that says, "Let go and let God." Remember that? Some call it Quietism, an attitude of "Just relax, and let God's power take over your life…surrender and let Him do your fighting while you enjoy the victory." Watchman Nee was heavily influenced by that movement, by the way.
But that's a fundamentally flawed way of viewing temptation, or the Christian life for that matter. Nowhere does the Word of God advocate that kind of attitude or strategy for battling sin. There is simply no biblical support for such an approach. We are always to engage in the battle with our minds, hearts, and wills. That's the view Paul gives us in Ephesians 6 with the armor of God. It's a string of personal commands we are to obey, none of which involve, "surrender." Rather, it's a call to arms. He says, "Be strong in the Lord, put on the armor, stand firm, take up the helmet of salvation and the shield of faith…" The Christian life is a battle, and we are soldiers. Indwelt with the Spirit? Yes. Equipped with the Scriptures? Of course. But the responsibility to actively engage in the battle is ours.
Many other Scriptures could be recalled, regarding temptation:
Peter and James both instruct us to "Submit to God" (James 4:7) and "Resist the devil," (1 Peter 5:9) again commands.
After reminding us, "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it," Paul concludes with this command: "Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry." Notice the command is active. It's not passive or directed to any member of the trinity. It's a personal command to us, from God, to actively flee from sin.
If you're still unclear about any of that, I think an upcoming post on Sanctification will help. For some practical ways to fight sin, see Leslie's comment above.
Wow that makes a lot of sense! Because God's love is powerful enough to overcome that temptation. So when it means "walk in the Spirit and bear the Spirits fruits", it can be interpreted when walking in the Spirit to read the bible daily, focus on God's love daily, and the bearing of the fruit would be what??
The questions you're asking about a believer bearing "fruit" are answered in the passage you quoted from. Listen to what Paul says in Galatians 5:19-26:
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desire. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Cristian, when you walk in the Spirit (v. 16), and crucify your flesh (v. 24), you'll bear the fruit Paul laid out in that passage. May your harvest be ripe and plentiful, brother.
Haha.. Yea i guess it is pretty silly to think that you can lay back and let the Spirit fight for you. This verse pretty much clears it up, Thanks. Hopefully you guys don't mind my questions, because i have lots of them. and i'll ask them, so prewarning; don't get annoyed. Lol. Tks Again.
Thanks for sharing your blog. I appreciate it. Smiles.
Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. God prunes us
as we grow. When we allow Him. Many blessings.
Not at all, Cristian. Your zeal and humility are encouraging, and your questions are never annoying. Keep em coming. That's what the blog is all about. Blessings to you in your pursuit of Christ.

Tri-Pod Sprinkler
Most Popular
I purchased one of these last year, and just... Review by TD
I purchased one of these last year, and just ordered two more! I really like this sprinkler. It works great and lays out a very light mist. It is very delicate on the flowers. It gives such a fine mist even the bees, dragonflies, and butterflies enjoyed flyingaround in the spray. The birds loved to sit in the trees and bushes enjoying the cooling mist and washing themselves.
My dogs who like to pick up and carry around the other sprinklers that lay on the ground leave this one alone. They do enjoy playing around it to cool down.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars, is the area where you connect to the water hose is at a odd/difficult angle. Other than that, love these product. (Posted on 4/28/2011)
One of the best sprinklers I've tried. Lays... Review by JF
One of the best sprinklers I've tried. Lays on a fine mist that won't flatten delicate plants. Covers large area. It is non-directional, so it needs to be in the center of what is being watered. Tripod is sturdy and provides good height. I bought at original price now it's even less expensive. If you like to raise flowers or vegetables this is the watering device for you. It also uses less water. (Posted on 3/29/2011)

[Lancaster, Pa.] American Scrape, one of Armstrong's recently introduced collections, offers dealers the best of both worlds — a premium product at a value price point — according to the company. What's more, initially brought to market as an engineered product, the company now offers American Scrape in solids.
Add in its Made in the U.S.A. story and the fact that a portion of the sales go to Homes for Our Troops (HFOT), Armstrong said it's a product positioned to help dealers win more sales.
"We're utilizing our scale and proprietary technology to competitively manufacture American Scrape at three of our U.S. manufacturing facilities — Beverly, Somerset and West Plains. Plus, a portion of American Scrape sales are dedicated to supporting Homes for Our Troops, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that builds specially adapted homes for our nation's severely injured veterans returning from combat abroad," explained Milton Goodwin, vice president of product management, hardwood, Armstrong.
American Scrape also offers consumers the popular look of distressed or antiqued floors. "A big trend in recent years is related to texturing — in floors, in furniture and in textiles. Consumers want to be able to see the texture as well as feel it. Flooring design is all about visual and tactile interest," said Goodwin.
And dealers are seeing the results of the strong story American Scrape tells. Chuck Katz, owner, of Katz's Flooring in Albany, Ga., explained, "The handscrape look is the most popular trend in wood that we are seeing right now. Customers love the American Scrape product. It has depth — it's different. Also, for every American Scrape product we sell, we give the customer a free Patriotic rug."
American Scrape consists of both solid and engineered 5-inch hickories and oaks; the company plans to add birch, maple and walnut engineered planks later this year. "Everything about these floors has an American stamp — wide width planks and dramatic colors named for diverse regions around the country. Each floor is made in the U.S.A.," said Goodwin. "The price of handscrapes coming out of China continues to rise, and the pitfalls of importing aren't going away. So being able to provide this product domestically serves us and our dealers well," said Goodwin.
The Made in the U.S.A. story coupled with the company's support of HFOT gives American Scrape its own unique story. "We are able to provide competitively different products that are winning with consumers and retailers. This is driving growth, which has led to us being able to create more jobs in our communities and give a little back to those that have sacrificed almost everything for our country and our freedom," Goodwin said.
All American Scrape products feature the company's nano aluminum oxide surface treatment to prevent scratches and stains, while also enhancing the wood's natural characteristics.
Armstrong recently participated in a volunteer day for Homes for Our Troops, where volunteers helped build a home for Marine Corporal Tony Mullis. Katz also helped out at the event. But for Katz, the volunteer day had a special significance. "I have a daughter in the Army, and it was great to partake in this event with other active duty members. Plus, the house is beautiful. It was wonderful to be a part of something that is bigger than yourself. being a part of something that is helping someone who stood up for your country," he said.
American Scrape is available in both engineered and solid profiles
and features textured surfaces.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (584 votes).
In short: Brilliant organisation and real value for moneyIn full: Thanks to the organisers. Took a minute of my own pb on a course suited for good times (barring the odd head wind). It's flat and the track width easily accommodates the size of field soon after the start. Extras, including plenty of refreshments, T-shirt and medal make it very good value. Spectators can also view their runner several times due to the nature of the route, and facilities are all in place. Well done. Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Fab race!In full: Weather was a dream compared to last year, so knew was onto a winner. This race runs like clockwork and the preparation must be massive so a huge thank you to all involved especially the marshals, most belong to a local running club and give up the whole of their Sunday.The course is great it was my second time and knowing the course I found helped, but the best bit is a clock at every mile really keeps you on track, but the best touch is the piped music you know you are getting closer to getting back onto the final loop when you hear it.I had a great day, scored a massive PB, and will be back next year.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Great organisation and family frienlier than many racesIn full: This was my fourth in a row and I normally struggle to meet the fast potential of the course, possibly due to the exposed position and the previous inclement weather. This year was the opposite though and I ran a relaxed race to finish in 1-39 and knock over 3 minutes from my previous PB here. So I was happy. The family enjoy this event as well. The ability to get out of the weather in the paddock, the food stalls, music over the tannoy and ability to always be in touch with runners make this, for our family, friendlier than other races. So despite the sometimes crowded track and monotonous scenery, it's still enjoyable. I look on it as a different race & challenge to others I run. As much a mental as a physical challenge. Being able to see all of the runners stretching ahead of you, the inclines and long stetches of track over the last few miles can prove very hard. So I can understand this event may not be for all runners but the atmosphere is very good and plenty of encouragement from one another & marshalls etc. It is also a very good value race - it would be nice to get sized T-Shirts (organisers take note, charge a few pounds more and ask for sizes on the entry form) but at £15 it's still generous. Compare that with the £30 Reading HM the week before with no more in the goody bag and no T-Shirt of any size!Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: nice MEDAL & BIG t-shirtIn full: My 2nd time here weather was a lot better than last year !! The route is a bit monotonous but it is good prep for the London Marathon. Organisation & marshalls were good as always as were the goody bags. I quite enjoyed my run today if a bit hard going in places.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Superb raceIn full: I can't believe some comments regarding T shirt sizes etc. The event was a bargain and I thought the T shirt was nice anyway. Chip timing, bottled water, lucozade, free parking - It was such good value I felt guilty !Last year I thought the distance was long, but this year I took more of a racing line' and mile splits were consistent. Running around the outside of bends would have added distance.Well done Silverstone !Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Very well organised, good atmosphere. would do it again.In full: Organisation first class, flat course although many turns, good atmosphere although scenery is a little dull unless your an F1 anorak. Ideal preparation for FLM or beginners.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: A great value and well organised race.In full: Fantastic value - £15 for as much water and lucozade that you can shake a stick at along with a good medal and a dodgy T-shirt - not bothered on T-shirts as they only find the bin anyway but I guess different sizes would be good for others.Good race, a little hard in the middle part when you are running on your own / with fellow runners with not too much to look at but the track parts were great and is a quick race, even with the wind.Really well organised, shame weren't a few more cheering on etc but well worth doing.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Excellent Marchalls and fantastic organisation + Nice atmosIn full: Over the moon as I got my PB, after 2007 and the lengendary hail glad to have some nice weather. Being a man of large propotions glad of the correct size t'shirt!!Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Very well organised, splendid event.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Brilliantly organised, great value and marshalls who clearly wanted you to do well!In full: This was my first half marathon and having done mainly London based 10k races before I was looking forward to Silverstone as a normally off limits sporting venue. I found the organisation fabulous (e.g. I entered late and my race pack didn't arrive in the post but I knew I could get a spare at the venue on the day so wasn't too concerned) especially in comparison with other races i've done. I arrived at 9.30 and even then there were marshalls everywhere to show you what to do, where to go etc.Cost wise I thought it was great value and leaves me wondering how other races charge far more without offering timing chips, t-shirts, medals etc. Final word has to go to the marshalls who from were fantastic and generous with their applaud and support. The course is open and while (thankfully) it stayed dry I imagine it's pretty unforgiving when you've got to stand still.Well done everyone involved.Date of review: March 10, 2008

Closing and delays for Jan. 17
Stop means stop
To the editor:
Stop signs are for everyone.
A couple of days ago I was heading into town from the Coleman District and just down our street is a stop sign that could just as well not be there for all the good it does. Out of five moped riders, only one rider stopped for it and the other four just zoomed right through it like it wasn't even there. If a car would have been coming from the north, one or more of those riders would have been windshield art. Stop signs are meant to do just that, be it mopeds, motorcycles, cars, pickups or even bicycles. Stop does not mean stop only if you feel like it. And just because you stop at the stop sign behind another vehicle, that does not give you the right to just go on through it when you get to it.

Skip to comments.Bill Maher: Get off my back, America (He proposes a "National Day of No Outrage")
Posted on 03/23/2012 7:05:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
I'm torn. I could happily live another 10 lifetimes without having to deal with phony, politically calculated, outrageously outrageous outrage. Ann Romney, in fact, did an elegant job on CNN last night urging everyone (ahem, Newt) to lighten up over Robert DeNiro's lame but innocuous joke about America's white First Ladies.
Just one question: What makes Maher think the outrage in his case is phony?
When did we get it in our heads that we have the right to never hear anything we dont like? In the last year, weve been shocked and appalled by the unbelievable insensitivity of Nike shoes, the Fighting Sioux, Hank Williams Jr., Cee Lo Green, Ashton Kutcher, Tracy Morgan, Don Imus, Kirk Cameron, Gilbert Gottfried, the Super Bowl halftime show and the ESPN guys who used the wrong cliché for Jeremy Lin after everyone else used all the others. Who can keep up? ...
I have a better idea. Lets have an amnesty from the left and the right on every made-up, fake, totally insincere, playacted hurt, insult, slight and affront. Lets make this Sunday the National Day of No Outrage. One day a year when you will not find some tiny thing someone did or said and pretend you can barely continue functioning until they apologize…
I dont want to live in a country where no one ever says anything that offends anyone. Thats why we have Canada. Thats not us. If we sand down our rough edges and drain all the color, emotion and spontaneity out of our discourse, well end up with political candidates who never say anything but the safest, blandest, emptiest, most unctuous focus-grouped platitudes and cant. In other words, well get Mitt Romney.
Someone on Twitter today (I forget who) summarized his op-ed here as "Bill Maher comes out against Media Matters's very existence."
I'll give him this much. Part of the anger at his "jokes" about Palin and other women is, clearly, a reaction to the left generally rather than to him specifically. In that sense it is political, but not political in the cheap "pretend to be outraged to score a point" way. It's sincere irritation at liberals once again presuming to lecture the right on propriety — here's the latest on the Rush boycott, for instance — while they tolerate all manner of similar improprieties within their own ranks. (A textbook example is smearing tea partiers as violent radicals while whitewashing every last bit of OWS cretinism.) Maher is a target of opportunity to some extent because he just dropped a cool mil on Obama's Super PAC, which they accepted without a second thought, so from his perspective the reaction may very well look contrived. Why, he's been doing "c*nt" gags for years and only now, when dear Rush is threatened, is there a sustained outcry about it. Obvious fakery.
But it's not fake. People have grumbled about him all along, as he's no doubt well aware. There just hasn't been any sustained attention to him because ultimately who cares? His job is to tell the left they're superior to the right; he's just a little nastier and a little more entertaining about it (emphasis on "a little") than MSNBC is. To some extent, in fact, precisely because he's a provocateur, getting too angry at him plays into his hands by stoking his self-styled image as a bad-boy truth-teller who knows how to wound the other side. No one wants to feed a preening troll by showing him how much he irritates you, so usually we all just grumble for a day and move on. Doesn't mean the irritation's not real, though, and it doesn't mean that wearily letting him slide time after time somehow waives the right to revisit that sincerely-felt irritation later. And even if it should — even if he's right that we should all just mellow out a little already — I'm not sure how we're supposed to celebrate "the color, emotion and spontaneity … of our discourse" after the left's post-Tucson hysteria last year over civility and rhetoric. Palin put out a midterm election map using crosshairs as a metaphor for "targeting" certain Democratic districts on election day and was basically accused of being an accessory to murder for it. No one's going to care about the glories of colorful rhetoric the next time the opportunity arises to smear someone on the right for it. That's not Maher's fault, but it is what it is. Go figure that people can't mellow out.
I'm outraged. /s
Isn't this subject pretty much beaten-to-death, by now? Yawn.
Look, Maher doesn't even spell it right.
Maher told a great one about Mohammad and a sheep
but I can't repeat it in mixed company, there might
be lambs out there.
what a stupid man. He has used his program to incite hate in every form. He needs to leave America alone, the filty liar.
Sounds like a Maher Tora Bora/Ramadon to me. You quit, I won't.
Separated at birth?
Yes, how DARE Rush Limbaugh a political commentator who uses humor, use inappropriate language against a liberal woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA Ha HA HA!!!! Bill Mahr the humorist who does political commentary, just used totally inappropriate language against a conservative woman. HA HA HA HA!!!!
You mean THAT?????
Nevertheless, screw Maher! What a colossal turd.
Lefties hate it when they get a dose of their own Saul Alinsky medicine.
Oh, so now that the heat has gotten a little intense, he wants us to all just calm down?
What a prick.............
Dear Bill, FU!
Maher has piloted his train of hatred and ridicule to great wealth. He's hurt people who were innocent of any wrongdoing. There's a spiritual price for that.
I am tied of these hypocrites.
People just need to grow a thicker skin...outrage and ridicule has always been a part of politics, from all sides, and that will never change....life is tough, wear a helmet.
Matthew 15:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 What goes into someones mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.
Best line in the article. This is why conservatives shouldn't let up, and why I think Newt was right to go after De Niro. Convervatives are fighting back after this Fluke nonsense, and Maher is proposing his no-outrage day because now HE is in the spotlight. We're acting on offense for once.
Maher is a liar and weasel. I don't want to get along with that sumbag, I want to cause him as much grief as possible. I'd like to see HBO fire him for being the disgusting piece of crap that he is.
if he is willing to confront Sandra Fluke and say this to her face, perhaps I'll give him a bit of credit
Without "outrage" and a demand for government to solve the problem,
there would be no power for the left.
Get it Bill?
Oh, trust me - it's only 'beaten to death' if a liberal is the victim ... The suck-up press will still be beating on Rush 3 years from now over this... But of course, we're all suppose to 'move on' when it's not comfortable for a liberal...
If you want to see how the press works the thin skinned victim game - how they manipulate news FOR the benefit of liberals, WATCH THIS - it's the New York Times at it's creepiest:
I prefer to refer to him as a despicable little punk.
You're right. Watch a liberal audience and you'd think you're back in 8th grade. All the snickering and laughter - how old are these people anyhow? Fourteen?
The liberal audience is saying, 'say a dirty word, say a dirty word - shock me, shock me'... Gads, vile old liberals pretending to be innocent? That's the hight of creepy.
Bill Maher - Jon Stewart... all liberals do it. Stewart looks uneasy playing the dirty 14 year old - but he does it because his liberal audience demands it. Joh's to smart for that kind of humor - unlike Maher - who seems to be a narcissistic eteranl fourteen year old..
Watch and see if you could ever feel this kind of contempt toward another group:
I saw that over last weekend. It should be *required viewing* for everyone with a functioning brain, but'll never be widespread since it's too true. I'm surprised Rush doesn't have it on site site; other Conservatives too.
Pass it on - conservatives need to understand how the press sees them...
Personally, I think he's right, regardless of my thoughts about him as a man. This "giving it back to the left" thing is just dragging us into the muck. I'm starting to think American discourse won't recover, and "they started it" isn't an acceptable excuse. I think people of either side getting worked up about inconsequential comments just reveals them as giant babies, actually, and I'd rather I could say the whining was their deal and not ours.
Good morning world.
I propose a ""Lifetime of No Bill Maher".
I propose a ""Lifetime of No Bill Maher".
Sure, Bill. Whatever you, want you dumb c**t.

Having enough water each day is crucial to a pet's health. According to PetMD.com, household cats originated from desert-dwelling felines who got water solely from food. Nowadays, however, most cats are fed dry foods and given water from a bowl.
While some cats will readily drink from a bowl, others don't drink nearly enough which can lead to urinary problems and sick cats. Cats who don't drink enough may develop issues with bladder inflammation (commonly called feline idiopathic cystitis) or even bladder stones. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, bladder stones are rock-like formations of minerals in the urinary bladder. They can range in size from sand-like to pieces of gravel and are very painful.
PetMD.com reports clinical signs cats with urinary issues exhibit include eliminating outside of the litter box and crying out in pain while attempting to urinate. VCA reports other signs such as straining to urinate and even blood in the urine. Owners should bring their cat to a vet hospital if they notice any of these problems.
To encourage cats to consume more water, owners should consider switching to an all canned food diet. Some cats will require a slow transition to avoid rejection of the new food. In this situation, an owner can mix in the old dry food at first to entice it. Other ways to increase water intake include offering ice chips as "treats", providing water in a free-flowing fountains or even from a slowly dripping faucet. Some cats prefer large bowls of water and these can be placed at a variety of places around the house to encourage increased water drinking throughout the day.

Was it bromated?
I really like the look of that crust! Nice and puffy.
Lets hear it for olives on pizza! I am surrounded by haters. They Cringe at the idea of a black or (god forbid) green olive on a pizza. Nice pies!John K
I also like olives, and so do my Beagles, when the whole olives roll off the pie and onto the floor!!!Mark
You can get All Trumps flour un-bromated by requesting product code #50143. This one is malted and enriched only.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
The bromate has essentially no impact upon the flour when it comes to making pizza, so you shouldn't see and difference between bromated or non-bromated All Trumps except for availability.
Walter;The bromated flours are not illegal in California, but they are so frowned upon that you might have a problem finding a supplier that carries it, hence the reference to the non-bromated version of All Trumps. The bromate has essentially no impact upon the flour when it comes to making pizza, so you shouldn't see and difference between bromated or non-bromated All Trumps except for availability.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Thanks Tom- I have hope! I am not a science based baker but my gut tells me, as Scott posted, the bromated does make a difference. I will have to buy a bag of non bromated all trumps and do a side by side comparision. This reminds me of a time about 25 years ago when my wife and I were passing through Palm Springs CA. I was talking with the doorman at one of the hotels and he was also from NJ. I asked him if there were any good pies around. He said Sinatra brought out one his favorite pizza guys from NJ and he even had his water trucked in. I tried the pie and it was the real deal. Walter
Frank knew his bromate...
He did and he also had Calandra's bread flown in everyday. My grandparents house was next to the bakery and as I kid I would look forward to our every Sunday afternoon visits. My grandfather would have his home brewed choke cherry brandy/red wine, meats, grandma's homemade pastas, cheeses, and pasteries. I would get my fill of their food and then wander over to the bakery and watch the bread being made. those old timer bakers in their white shirts and pants would give me a hunk of warm bread. Their Semolina was my favorite. walter

I know when we panned the dough, we never used a dough dressing, before putting the sauce on. I am not sure if they added some parmasean or butter during the actual dough making process, but I may try that next.

I purchased this scent back when it first arrived at Hudsons. What a great smell. The scent has calmed down some but I'm not complaining. if, you like a fairly strong scent and you can smell it several hours later...you got your monies worth.
Written by Lawrence on April 09, 2015
very masculine scent with hints of great smelling cigar tobacco aroma without being overpowering if used in moderation (HINT: a little of this goes a LONG way). For the price here and the compliments you will receive on it, it's well worth having in your cologne cabinet for you and your lady!

Hilarious. Those knobgobblers were at the front and center of blatantly criminal ratings on garbage subprime securitizations, Yet here they are thinking they have the "duty" to accurately rate U.S. debt. We very well may actually be only an AA+ rating and while I disagree with that it is nice to see they now decide they need to be high and mighty with their ratings. BBB tranches of subprime garbage to AAA didn't seemed to be an issue to them a few short years ago.
Not sure why this pisses me off so much, but it does. Why do I get the feeling that if there were no debate whatsoever concerning cutting the deficit they wouldn't have even considered it?

Today, credit unions are modern financial
institutions that play a strong and vibrant role
in the Canadian economy. The Canadian credit
union system enjoys an enviable reputation as
innovators in the financial services industry.

Topic: Ruby absolute beginner help.
I'm very sorry to bother you all with this basic of a question, but I can't seem to find any other place to ask...
Heres my code, all i'm trying to do is get the thing to give different messages based on the total value of an array.
class Array
def greet
if self < 6 then puts "Value small enough"
else puts "Error, array value too large"
#I'm trying to get it to handle an array in such a way that if the total value of the array is
#less than 6, it says "Value Small enough", or if it's larger "Error, array value too large"
a = [ 1, 2, 3]
Edit: Alternately, can you redirect me to a place where this question is approprite? Thank you.

Who's the Most Fiscally Responsible Candidate?November 1st, 2012 . by economistmom
Between Obama and Romney, who proposes a fiscal policy agenda that's the "most fiscally responsible?" That's not that easy to answer, because "fiscal responsibility" is more than just deficit reduction, and "most" depends on the baseline–i.e., compared with what?
Neither is the "most fiscally responsible of them all" certainly, because as my Concord Coalition colleague Josh Gordon writes, neither candidate is embracing a specific "go big," "grand bargain" approach–at least not yet. (This is an election season, after all.)
While Romney has called for cuts of five percent to non-defense discretionary spending (without providing details about where the cuts would fall), he has also supported an increase in defense spending, and restoration of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Medicare cuts. When pressed, the campaign has avoided going into further detail about where all this would come out. In fact, unlike recent past presidential candidates, Romney has not produced even a bare bones outline showing the relative impact of his proposals on the budget. He has certainly given insufficient detail to establish that he has a credible plan to balance the budget.
One only needs to look at Rep. Ryan's budget to see that even with large cuts to non-defense discretionary spending and Medicaid, it is mathematically suspect to promise a balanced budget without higher revenues — as the Ryan budget doesn't achieve balance until 2040. Assuming that the gap can be made up with consistently above-average economic growth is an unrealistic dodge to avoid hard policy choices.
Aside from the overall goal, major questions remain about individual components of Romney's fiscal proposals. The most discussed of these is his three-part tax plan. In short, Romney has promised to: 1) reduce all federal income tax rates by 20 percent after extending the expiring "Bush tax cuts"; 2) reduce taxes on the middle class (defined as individuals earning less than $250,000) and; 3) not increase the deficit — achieving revenue neutrality by reducing the tax expenditures benefiting the wealthy (except for the tax breaks favoring capital income).
These three parts of Romney's plan are mathematically incompatible. The non-partisan Tax Policy Center has amply demonstrated why this is so, and no credible studies have shown otherwise. When pressed for an explanation of their assumptions, of the tax expenditures they would target, or which of the three parts would be jettisoned if the numbers don't ultimately work, the Romney-Ryan campaign has avoided an answer.
Finally, the Romney plan for controlling health care costs in the federal budget also leaves many unanswered questions. The immediate result of his proposal to repeal not just the new spending within the ACA, but also the ACA's Medicare cost savings and tax increases, would be to actually increase the deficit. Moreover, repeal of the ACA's cost control experiments and pilot projects would needlessly inhibit research into ways that the health care system might be reformed to provide better value for our health care dollars. Given that we know very little on how to control systemic health care costs, this would also severely limit the possibilities for success of Romney's own proposals to remake Medicare and Medicaid.
And regarding President Obama's fiscal policies, Josh emphasizes that just because the President has had to be more specific (in submitting budget proposals every year), doesn't mean it all adds up to a big-enough, fiscally-responsible-enough plan:
To the President's credit, he supports negotiating a long-term, bipartisan "grand bargain" on fiscal issues with both spending cuts and new revenues. Yet, such explicit support has come only after his initial tepid reaction to the Simpson-Bowles report when it was released. Nevertheless, if Obama is re-elected, the upcoming fiscal cliff will give the nation's political parties a chance to negotiate a major budget deal. This will test whether the President will fulfill his promise to have flexibility and put all options on the table. Unfortunately, during the campaign season, he and Vice President Biden have taken some options to reform Social Security (raising the retirement age) and Medicare (premium support) off the table. This will make achieving a bargain more difficult.
On taxes, the President has been similarly contradictory. He has argued for the need for more revenue, yet has ruled out tax increases for anyone earning less than $250,000. He has also proposed some new tax breaks even while arguing that others should be scaled back. On the corporate side, he has been as vague as Gov. Romney in detailing how he would pay for his proposed rate reduction.
Obama's proposal to limit itemized deductions in the top two income tax brackets is a start on reform that broadens the tax base, yet the proposal has been made in every budget submission of his presidency and has gone nowhere. He has not supported a broader fundamental reform like the forward-looking plans recommended by the Simpson-Bowles and Domenici-Rivlin panels — where major tax expenditures are eliminated or scaled back and better targeted.
Obama's contradictions are likely to impede a grand bargain. Furthermore, Obama's promise not to increase taxes on anyone within a very expansive definition of the "middle class," makes it very difficult to make the tax code more efficient.
Finally, the President's health care reform agenda is mainly focused on implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Proper implementation is a worthy goal and will be necessary for the ACA to have any chance of remaining effectively deficit-neutral. Yet, for the nation to control health care costs over the long term, more legislation needs to be enacted. Medicare in particular needs further reform.
And then there's the tricky part–that "fiscal responsibility" means more than just mechanically reducing the budget deficit. It means getting to "fiscal sustainability," which is just as much about strengthening and growing the economy as it is about holding down the public debt. (Both the numerator and the denominator in the sustainability goal of stabilizing the ratio of debt-to-GDP matter.) The economy part (the denominator) is a particular challenge these days, because we're still in a period where we are still recovering from an unusually severe recession that has been unusually resistant to the usual stimulus treatments, which come (naturally) in the form of deficit-financed policies. At the moment, our economy still needs counter-cyclical fiscal policy (hence, all the calls to not let ourselves go over the "fiscal cliff"), but over the longer term after we hopefully get back to higher ("full") employment, our economy will need higher national saving, in both the public and private sector, to keep growing its supply side (productive capacity). So we still need deficits now, but significantly lower deficits later, and we need to be mindful that not all forms of deficit spending (or tax cuts) are created equal in terms of economic effects on either the supply or the demand sides of our economy.
I think this tricky part of having to worry about the economic (and not just budgetary) effects of these fiscal policy choices is what Princeton economics professor Alan Blinder is getting at in his Wall Street Journal op ed, where he expresses his pro-Obama opinion:
For stimulus, we could do a lot worse than to enact President Obama's American Jobs Act, which he proposed about a year ago. It consisted of about $250 billion in tax cuts and about $200 billion in spending, most of it well targeted on creating jobs. But Republicans rejected the act outright.
For deficit reduction, I believe the nation eventually will come around to something resembling the Simpson-Bowles plan, which was rejected by both parties (with Rep. Paul Ryan voting against it) when Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles proposed it in 2010. Although President Obama didn't embrace Simpson-Bowles in 2010, his current 10-year deficit-reduction plan is a first cousin. Any such plan would "pay for" the American Jobs Act many times over.
For his part, Mitt Romney rejects any short-term fiscal stimulus, attacks the Fed for trying to speed up the recovery, and proposes large, new, permanent tax-rate reductions—beyond even the Bush tax cuts—which would almost certainly bust the budget again. He claims the rate cuts can be paid for by closing loopholes. But several neutral third parties have demonstrated that his numbers don't add up.
So the Romney plan would provide neither the short-run stimulus nor the long-run deficit reduction we need, while the Obama plan would provide both. Which plan is better? I guess the answer to that is an opinion, not a fact.
To counter Blinder's opinion, a pro-Romney economist would surely claim that Romney will cut spending by much more than Obama would, which means the Romney-proposed tax cuts will be more affordable, plus such an economist would likely also throw in a supply-side growth story that claims that revenues would actually rise when tax rates are cut (even before any base broadening). (I welcome readers' suggestions as to which actual conservative economist's commentary is the best counter to Blinder's.)
This election does offer a stark choice in terms of fiscal policy paths. Obama is clearly for a larger, more active role of government in our economy and society. Romney clearly wants to reduce the influence of government, especially regarding tax burdens. Unfortunately, with neither of them is it clear that they have the political will and talent to raise the taxes or cut the spending needed to make their plans consistent with deficit reduction. So we'll have to just wait and see how the election turns out, and then hope that whoever wins will do better on "fiscal responsibility" than their campaign talk suggests, once the campaign is finally over.

Detail: Spending each day managing our lively shop in Boston's buzzing financial district is a delight. Our energetic team brings exquisite product to a thriving community—offering a beautiful retreat and resource for our busy professional crowd. In fact, I will always remember walking into our shop for the first time. After moving from a small town in Vermont to Boston in 2009, I studied fashion merchandising and retail at Lasell College in Newton, MA. My career in management began with an exciting role at a high end women's clothing retailer, where I discovered my love for customer service. When I first stepped in to Winston Flowers, I was blown away by their incredible staff and beautiful merchandise, and knew I was meant to work here. I love being part of such a creative company where I can work closely with our clients, hearing their personal stories and experiences—and helping them select the perfect flowers for their occasions.
Detail: As Director of Retail, I oversee all seven of our retail shops in Massachusetts and Connecticut. I'm also happy to be the Store Manager for Winston Flowers Chestnut Hill. At our flagship location in the heart of Newton, we are privileged to be a longstanding staple of the community, sharing in generations of our clients' biggest and best life moments. For me, managing our shops means that every day brings new and exciting opportunities to lift a mood, incite a memory or bring a smile to someone's face. This location is special because it is home to our garden nurseries, beautiful year-round greenhouses and display gardens. I share Winston Flowers' passion for offering the finest product available, presenting it in a creative way that changes with the seasons, and making the client experience truly memorable. One of my favorite parts of the job is identifying talented individuals who feel the same way and developing them into future managers and leaders.
Detail: New England's floral industry has been the focus of my career and my passion for the past 25 years. I'm inspired every day by helping my clients select the perfect flowers or plant for their occasion. I love meeting new people and truly connecting with them—it not only helps me understand what they envision, but it also encourages my own creativity. Working in the historic Concord community allows me to meet clients from this vibrant community, while being surrounded by the beauty of the floral world and alongside a team of extraordinarily talented people. I can't think of a better way to spend my days. Sharing the bounty and beauty of what Winston Flowers has to offer is a true pleasure.
Detail: I began my career with Winston Flowers over 26 years ago, working in several of our retail locations before managing our shop in charming downtown Hingham. Over the years, my dedication has not wavered and I continue to be enthusiastic about our company and the unique floral products we offer. A diverse knowledge of all aspects of Winston Flowers now seems like second nature to me and I enjoy sharing that with our guests. It's important to me that their experience is memorable and that long lasting relationships are built here: our customers become friends for life in Hingham! I am honored and proud to be a part of this historic seaside community.
Detail: My career began in our Wellesley shop – and after being promoted to manager of our Federal Street shop – I've recently returned to my roots in the position of store manager. Spending each day in our lively Wellesley shop is a delight. I'm inspired by the vibrant sense of community here and I enjoy getting to know each client personally. I'm truly passionate about my work and I thrive when interacting with the community, sharing my knowledge with clients and admiring the beautiful floral product that arrives to Winston Flowers daily. I adore being a part of the Winston family—it feels like an extended family of my own. I hope our clients feel the same when they walk through the door of our shop.
Detail: Prior to working with Winston Flowers, I worked in the travel and hotel industry for over 10 years in numerous countries, including: the Cayman Islands, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. In 2013, I decided to move to Connecticut to pursue a career in the luxury hotel business, shortly realizing that Winston Flowers is where I truly belong: not only is the quality of product excellent and exclusive, but the origin significant too—our clients receive fair-trade products directly from the farms of our growers. Our Greenwich store is unique in that in addition to filling customer retail orders, we also have our own design studio where we create beautiful designs for events, weddings and corporate dinners. Clients know they can count on our Greenwich shop for fantastic arrangements, genuine customer service and an experience they will truly love.

Another political game
This is in response to a recent letter titled "Something to ponder."
I'm assuming that you want us to ponder the possibility that banning a certain type of gun would decrease the gun violence in America.
Do you truly believe that gun bans of any kind have a positive effect on reducing crime, preventing accidents, and reducing or preventing suicides? The assault weapon ban is another example of a law that only applies to the law-abiding.
As a crime fighting law, it does nothing. Criminals already have all the assault weapons they want. And, if they want more, they can buy them on the black market. If this law is enacted, the black market gun manufacturing industry will go through the roof. Take note how well the 'war on drugs' is working out. Criminals have a tendency not to obey laws.
Instead, we should be focusing our laws on criminals, and leave the responsible citizen alone, focusing on ways to curb violence and protect our innocent.
Our main concern should be that the innocent and defenseless will be protected everywhere in our nation. That should be our country's first priority. Plain and simple. Monsters like Adam Lanza will always find a way to commit violent crimes. Always.
Obama's obsessive gun control agenda is just another political game that the Democrats play, to make them appear to actually care about the American people, knowing full well it will do nothing to slow down the violent crime in this country.
Something else to ponder, Switzerland, where almost every adult male is legally required to possess a gun, is one of the few nations with a higher per capita rate of gun ownership than the United States and gun crime is virtually non-existent.
