While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Buick vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. Anyone who drives a Buick knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. Obviously, you didn't buy your Somerset Regal unless you understood you would be getting efficiency and American style both rolled up into one vehicle. Car aficionados know that good looks is built into each Buick, and understand that only the highest quality repair Somerset Regal parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Believe it or not, your car or truck's heating system is closely tied to its engine cooling system. The engine of your Buick Somerset Regal circulates liquid coolant throughout the block to absorb heat, and sends this liquid to the heater core (a small radiator) through a heater supply hose when you want to warm your vehicle's cabin. Buick Somerset Regal heater hoses turn a negative side effect of normal engine operation (engine heat absorbed by coolant) and use it to provide passengers with a pleasant experience. The return heater hose re-introduces the coolant to the engine after it has heated the heater core so the radiator can return it to optimum temperature.
Don't let a broken Heater Hose spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best replacement parts. When your Buick requires a top quality replacement Heater Hose, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Buick Somerset Regal part for your project or repair. If your car or truck was built in 1985, then you will find the correct Buick Somerset Regal Heater Hose parts right here.

Beats Music All Set to Debut on January 21st
We all are aware and love the base intensive headphones for Beats and Dr. Dre, to make things even better Beats is all set to launch Beats music, a subscription based music service similar to Spotify and Pandora.Beats music will also provide users the ability to download unlimited music for offline playback provided they have a valid subscription, obviously. The service was originally code named and called Daisy. Like others this service also comes in at a monthly price of $9.99 (INR 600 approx.) where in a subscriber can use up to 3 devices. Also Rumoured is a launch of family plan which will be exclusive to the AT&T customers where in they will be able to use up to 10 devices at a price of $14.99. Also AT&T customers are eligible for a 30 days free trail while others are provided with petty 7 days of trail only.
Our folks at The Verge who got an early hands on with the service reckon that the service is actually better than others ( at least at first glance) as searching a particular version of a track can be pretty tough on many other services, but beats music excels here. Here is what the Verge actually says
We got an early peek at the service last week, and a couple other features stood out. While it can sometimes be difficult to find the "real" original version of a song on competing streaming services amidst all the covers, remixes, and karaoke versions, Beats puts the original tracks front and center. If you search for "Yesterday" by The Beatles, for example, you'll see it pop up first, and then you can tap a button if you want to see other versions.
Unfortunately as always India will not be amongst the countries where is this service will initially launch, but lets hope we get our hands soon enough. Again one can find ways around this issue for sure.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #275: India Fest
This weekend, head to the Agricenter for a day-long celebration of Memphis' Indian community and the diversity and culture of India. Assignment #275 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to check out India Fest.
There's so much going on at India Fest that it could easily be a weekend-long festival. There's a bazaar where you can shop for traditional Indian clothing, jewelry and goods. There are fashion shows, live music and chances to watch (and participate in) traditional Indian dances. There's an area where kids can learn about Indian history and culture.
There's also food. Tons and tons of food.
A whole room in the Agricenter is turned into a giant Indian food court with cooking teams selling all kinds of things: curry, naan, desserts, sandwiches. Many of the offerings are vegeterian and vegan friendly and the majority of them are inexpensive (individual items last year were mostly priced between $1 and $6).
India Fest is on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Agricenter. This year's theme is "Indian Festivals".
Go there:
Saturday, Nov. 5 2016
Agricenter International
Adults $6, Kids $1, Little Bitty Kids are free
I have been to India Fest several times in recent years and it is a great experience. If you are not Indian, it is a great way to get to know this fasinating culture. The food is wonderful (and cheap as Kerry said) so it is a great way to try new foods. Everyone is so friendly, you are sure to have a good time.

I had a very early flight out of SeaTac so I decided to stay close by. Here are a few notes on the property:
- Room was comfortable; bed & bedding nice.
- Bathroom was clean & modern. Shower head was high enough for a tall person.
- Breakfast did open at 5:00, which I think is a necessity for an airport hotel when the main purpose of staying in them is to be close to the airport for an early flight.
- Seemed to be nice & quiet
- Shuttle runs every 30 min starting at 3:30.
- Friendly staff
Bad (not really bad, just something to think about):
- Room did not have a thermostat, just the old fashioned "high-low" settings on the unit near the window.
- No restaurants seemed to be within walking distance.

In 2011, The Sun reported that Rebecca Black, the amateur teen singer whose vanity single "Friday" unexpectedly became a Billboard chart hit, was prepping a followup single.
This followup single was to be called "LOL" and was said to feature the lyrics "BFF you make me LOL."
The song never materialized. Instead, Black released "My Moment" later that year.
Nevertheless, the news of this alleged "LOL" single created a stir. If it seemed as if the ridiculousness of "Friday" couldn't be topped, the reported lyrics of "LOL" suggested otherwise.
Listeners who searched the Web for news about this upcoming single were suckered by videos on YouTube that purported to have news about, previews of, or even the full audio of Black's new song. Some of these videos are still on YouTube.
Following up on The Sun's story, HollywoodLife.com reported that Black's manager said, "There's no truth to any story about a new song from Black."
"Rebecca does not have a new single titled LOL," the manager insisted. "Just to be clear, she does not have any new single recorded at this time."
The story in The Sun was picked up by the usually reliable Billboard, and the Billboard article said that Black was working on a full-length album. Like "LOL," this album never materialized.
|Rebecca Black at the MTV Music Awards
"Just like 'Friday,' 'the new songs are pretty catchy,'" said Black, according to Billboard (via The Sun). The article added that she was recording her album at the Flying Pig Productions studio in Los Angeles.
But her manager told HollywoodLife.com, "We are not working with Flying Pig Productions, they are good people and have wonderful studios—but we have no business arrangement with them."
After "My Moment" (Black's finest single, in my opinion), she released the so-so "Person of Interest" toward the end of 2011. In 2012, she released "Sing It" and "In Your Words." Both were lackluster songs but showed that she had been working on her singing. In 2013, she released a sequel to "Friday," titled "Saturday," which actually charted slightly higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than "Friday." She has been releasing videos of mostly cover tunes since then, but in September 2015 she announced that she's going to release a new single called "Alive."
It appears that The Sun completely fabricated its story about "LOL." In picking up the story, Billboard must not have realized that The Sun is a British tabloid like Weekly World News or The Enquirer. I asked Black's publicist to comment on the whole shebang and clarify whether Black ever recorded an album, but he didn't reply, even though he's probably not very busy these days.
I like to believe that an unreleased Rebecca Black album from 2011 is in the can and will one day be released as a lost classic of early 21st century teen pop. When it is, I'll be the first in line to buy it.

Ingles Sees Double-digit Q4 Sales Gains
The regional grocer said it took a net profits hit as it absorbed cost increases to keep prices low.
Ingles Markets, Inc. yesterday posted a net sales increase of 13.0 percent, to $842.8 million for the quarter ended Sept. 27, 2008, vs. $746.0 million for the year-ago period.
Grocery segment comparable-store sales climbed 13.0 percent in the quarter thanks to a rise in average weekly customer visits and the average purchase amount, Ingles said. Excluding gas, comps were up 7.8 percent compared with last year's fourth quarter.
Net income for the fourth quarter, however was $10.5 million, vs. $14.2 million for the 2007 quarter.
Gross profit for the quarter came to $191.6 million, $12.1 million higher than the year-ago period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 22.8 percent, compared with 24.1 percent last year. Excluding lower-margin gasoline sales, grocery segment gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.6 percent vs. 26.9 percent for the comparable 2007 quarter.
Hurricane-caused disruptions in retail gasoline supplies in September, and the subsequent price volatility, hurt fourth-quarter gross profits, according to Ingles. The grocer sold much of its gasoline at cost during the height of the crisis, and could only offer reduced supply at many of its fuel stations. Ingles estimates gross profit losses of about $1.5 million during that time period. Fluid dairy gross profits were also down.
Total operating expenses were $165.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with $146.3 million last year, growth that was partly attributable to eight stores that opened or were remodeled during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2008.
"We opened or remodeled more stores in 2008 than we have in a number of years," noted c.e.o. Robert P. Ingle. "This affected our short-term results, but put us in good position to expand market share and enhance our customers' shopping experience in the future."
Ingle emphasized that the company as made a conscious decision to forgo short-term profits for longer-term benefits. "During the fourth quarter, we absorbed many cost increases to keep our prices low," he explained. "We believe this strategy is important to maintain customer loyalty and to help our customers during these uncertain economic times."
For the full fiscal year, net income was $52.1 million vs. $58.6 million for the previous fiscal year 2007. Among the major factors affecting comparative net income were energy costs, weather-related disruptions in retail gasoline operations, and higher costs related to the retailer's accelerated store expansions in the year, Ingles said. Capital expenditures nearly doubled to $248.8 million in fiscal 2008 compared with the previous year.
Despite the year-over-year decrease, Ingles said that fiscal year 2008 net income was still the second-highest in its history.
Ingles also reported its 44th consecutive year of sales growth, with sales rising 13.6 percent to $3.24 billion for the year ended Sept. 27, 2008, vs. $2.85 billion for the year-ago period. This was the first time in the company's history that sales surpassed $3 billion. Fourth-quarter sales came to $842.8 million, a 13.0 percent rise from last year.
Sales rose in every major grocery segment product category and in the fluid dairy segment in fiscal 2008. Year over year, both average weekly customer visits and average purchase amounts grew.
Ingles opened two new stores in 2008, closed two older stores, and completed 10 replacement or remodeled stores. Retail square footage increased to 10.2 million square feet at Sept. 27, 2008, vs. 9.7 million square feet in the year-ago period.
Gross profit for the fiscal year increased $61.6 million, or 9.0 percent, to $747.9 million, or 23.1 percent of sales, compared with $686.2 million, or 24.1 percent of sales, last year.
The growth in grocery segment gross profit dollars was mainly because of higher sales volume, Ingles noted. Grocery segment gross profit margin was lower for fiscal 2008 primarily due to higher sales growth in the gasoline department, which has the lowest gross margin. Excluding gasoline sales, grocery segment gross profit margin rose to 26.9 percent for fiscal year 2008, vs. 26.7 percent for fiscal year 2007. Fluid dairy gross profits declined $2.9 million as a result of cost and competitive factors.
The company attributed increased operating and administrative expenses to higher distribution, energy, and insurance expenses, along with increased credit/debit card processing and supply costs, but added that many of these cost increases weren't passed on to its shoppers in the form of higher sales prices. "The company believes it is important to maintain customer loyalty and overall sales growth during the current uncertain economic conditions," the grocer said.
For fiscal year 2009, Ingles plans to open 12 new, replacement, or remodeled stores, and add 10 fuel stations either at existing stores or in conjunction with its new, replacement and remodeled stores. Most of the projects are already underway, with some expenditures included in fiscal year 2008.
Asheville, N.C.-based Ingles operates 197 supermarkets. As well as its supermarket operations, the company also operates 73 neighborhood shopping centers, all but 16 of which contain an Ingles store.

If you are among the young hi school teenage girls, than this will surely help you in the affair of your hair. As here we are going to give you some easy to do hairstyle ideas that you can easily do by yourself.
Know the type of your hair and get the products according to the type of your hair, such as shampoo, conditioner, gel, hairspray and mousse. Afterwards use less heat on your hair, as by the continuous use of the heat you make your hair damaged.
Long Hair
If you have long hair than you can simply let it open. Style it with some mousse and hairspray in order to fix the position of your hair. Curl your hair with the help of straighter or with a hair curing iron. Or you can also straight you hair.
Buns Hair
If you are going for a style that ids easy to handle and is long lasting too than the buns is your choice. There are so many buns for you to choose from, such as do a braid and then wrap it in a single whirl around your head. Make a messy bun or even try a ballerina bun.
Braids and ponytails Hair
This looks best if you are going o spent the whole day or most of the day outside from your house. Opt for a french braid, in a regular or horizontal form as the both looks good. You can also opt for snake braid, or dutch braid. Have two braids on your head and pin their ends at the starting point of the other, this is the milkmaid's braid.

Paris Opera
Published: April 24, 1988
To the Editor: I recently returned from Paris and a visit to the Paris Opera. Some thoughts on the Q & A item of March 13 on ''Phantom of the Opera'' tours: Since viewing some parts of the opera house is very limited, especially on days of performance (you will not see the Chagall ceiling), we found the best thing to do was to buy the cheapest seat ($13) for an evening performance. The 10 days we were there, no operas were being performed, but a guest orchestra was there for two nights. We were up in the heavens, and the seats were very tight - no leg room - but we arrived half an hour before the performance and were able to walk all around. At intermission we viewed the long bar, and at the end of the evening, we were able to walk into the boxes.
If you can't go on the backstage tour, go to the d'Orsay Museum where there is a large model of a cross section of the Paris Opera. There is also a good opera exhibit. If you go to the opera house for a tour during the day, be sure to go back at night to see the outside all lit up. MARION L. HAWKINS Centerport, L.I.

Aside from work, I'm pretty active and I try to work out three times a week...be it jogging, heading to the gym, and lately I've been getting back into tennis which I used to play in high school and college.
I've also fallen in love with traveling and experiencing other cultures.
Favorite foods: Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Italian. Brunch. Seafood. Steaks. Pizza. Burgers.
Favorite music: Electronic music (house, techno), rap/hip hop (Nas, Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang, Dr.Dre, Kendrick Lamar, mostly 90s stuff)
Great food
If you love the outdoors, whether it's hanging out a park on a sunny Saturday afternoon or hiking, we'll definitely get along.

Shirtless Patrick Schwarzenegger Hits South Beach In Style
Patrick Schwarzenegger said goodbye to his shirt and hello to South Beach on Sunday as his epic spring break continued to heat up.
The 19-year-old cutie was photographed walking the beaches of Miami with a group of his friends, before heading into the Atlantic Ocean to cool off for a bit.
Schwarzenegger, who is the son of actor-politician Arnold and journalist Maria Shriver, was later spotted getting up close and personal with a mystery blonde, who has already won the award for this week's Luckiest Girl on the Planet.
See photos of Patrick's fun in the sun in the gallery, above.
Schwarzenegger is currently a student at the University of Southern California. He enrolled in 2012.

a manager want his administrative assistant to make appointments and meetings for him. on the manager outlook, i've delegate the administrative assistant the permission as EDITOR (check: delegate receives copies of meeting -related messages sent to me and also check all other box)
the manager want is that when the administrative assistant is making appointment/meetings on the manager calendar, the manager received a notification that there were something created on his calender.

I don't know of a way of doing this if someone directly edits the calendar - if the assistant makes the appointment and invites him to the meeting he will get an email that way though

Just as reltihmd said I don't believe you can achieve the automated email notifications via delegated calendar access in Outlook.

Constant motion, integration of background elements into the combat so that it's not just backdrop, and perfect pacing. Even though I enjoyed most of the front page contestants, I really hope this is the one that wins. Nice work.

nice one
nice effects and stuff , but until like end there was not much acrobatics , just pure old shooting , it is just my opinion but since you do stick fights i was expecting it to be more creative and stuff , but at the other hand i bet you must have did a lot of drawing on this one ,and final fight scene is really good , also music and effects are great , keep it up dude.

Hospitals Love To Serve Overcooked GMO Slop To Sick Patients
Food, far beyond any type of medicine, is the most relevant and effective way to nurture strong and healthy bodies. Frozen, unappetizing,...
Food, far beyond any type of medicine, is the most relevant and effective way to nurture strong and healthy bodies. Frozen, unappetizing, nutritionally deficient, toxin-loaded, and GMO containing platters are not the path to healing. So why do hospitals insist on serving their patients these types of foods?
For starters, hospital food services are centralized in many cities that partner with specific companies that cater to these services. That means the cheapest most effective way to get the food from its unprepared state to its prepared state is the rule of thumb.
While most hospitals do consider the multitude of factors involved in dietary specifics relating to a patient's condition such as if a patient is on solid, minced, pureed food, or if the patient lactose intolerant or on a low-sodium or gluten-free diet, they don't however, consider food quality at all. The choices are extremely limited.
Much of the food that is eventually served to patients arrives frozen at central kitchens, some of it having been specially prepared for facilities, but most of the food is substandard and what could even be considered fast food, prepackaged, processed and even fried.
This occurs all over the world, whether healthcare is private or public. Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, the U.S. and many countries in Europe all have the same problems within their hospital kitchens which cater to this very negligent mentality relating to food for the sick.
All hospitals generally serve GMO corn, GMO soy, GMO zucchini/squash, foods made primarily with GMO Canola oil, as well as factory farmed meat and eggs from antibiotic, vaccinated and medicated animals. There are absolutely no precautions taken on harmful oils, preservatives, artificial flavors/sweeteners, sugars, colors or toxic emulsifiers that make up binding agents and sauces. If there was any nutritional value left in these foods, they are overcooked so that any remaining nutrients are eliminated. The result is slop. Take a look at some of these pictures for a visual:
Some of the above images were extracted from a popular blog on the Hospital Food Bingo board a hospital patient has put on his website.
Along with the pictures, the patient, who identifies himself only at 'Traction Man' provides a daily review of the dishes he is served.
Here are some of his entries:
"yesterday's offering plumbed new depths of culinary ineptitude. The macaroni cheese could have doubled as wallpaper paste."
"And as for the potato - let's not even go there. However, my opprobrium is reserved for the treacle suet pudding and custard."
"I don't know whether the chef used an industrial hardener or simply drove out the moisture with a flamethrower but it was the most inedible lump of carbohydrate ever to be passed off as a dessert."
"The entree tends to be uniform beige. Most of the vegetables need to go in a spin dryer before you get to eat them - they are that wet."
"As for the puddings, the jam roly poly takes the cake. It certainly tastes like it's been rolled - right across the kitchen floor."
"Some of the responses to my food postings have been hilarious. People legitimately cannot guess what some of the meals are."
Only One Solution
Food is our life force. We need it to live, grow and thrive. We need it as fuel and healing sources for our bodies. We need to pay more attention to what we give sick patients that need to heal, not from medications, but from food. Food is our medicine and health policy in hospitals needs to reflect this principal. Those in the phases of healing need high levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy fats to facilitate recovery. This comes primarily from a raw plant-based diet filled with fresh nutrient dense greens, fruits and veggies. Although I am a strong advocate of eaters for health, in my experience with hospital patients, they do not heal as quickly if animal products are introduced in the early phases of recovery. If you ever require a post-operative or overnight stay at a hospital that involves you receiving any meals, the solution is to bring your own food, herbals and filtered water. Pack up the hospital food on your exit, bring it home, put it in your blender, liquefy it and use it as a deterrent for rodents and insects in the darkest crevasses of your home. They will either avoid that area or consume it and die quickly.

|Batch checkin or improved performance on checkin
|Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:51:37 GMT
Hi all, I am currently working on a system that uses Jackrabbit to save the state of an application as multiple users makes changes. The problem is when I want to check in a large collection of nodes (eg 5000) it can take several minutes (eg for 5000 nodes it's taking me 3 minutes). To check in the nodes I iterate over a list of checked out nodes and check them back in one at a time, is there a way to do this in one call or some way that is faster? Thomas -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Batch-checkin-or-improved-performance-on-checkin-tp2008665p2008665.html Sent from the Jackrabbit - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Okay, so I really like this guy a lot. We talk non stop on facebook and xbox. And we talk and flirt all the time in person. Its been like this for 7 weeks now. I asked on formspring if he liked anyone, and he said no. But yet he wants a girlfriend?
I have been told by my good guy friends that I'm about as good as most guys can get in high school. And no, I'm not trying to sound conceited, or stuck up, I just want to know why this guy wouldn't want me as a girlfriend.
I get along with every guys mother I meet, like, they love me. I'm not ugly. I'm physically in good shape. I do a few sports. I go to church. I'm pretty smart. I play video games, and am also pretty perverted. I even pitch in on the gross little jokes my guy friends make. I'm funny, I'm nice, I'm definitely not unpopular, and I stand up for kids in my class that get made fun of. I'm not clingy either, I understand space perfectly. I speak my mind, and I let you know why I'm mad a you when I am, I don't keep it a secret and make you figure it out. Oh and I'm not a whore. I'm pretty flirty, but I'm a really loyal gf.
So, if I'm missing something critical, please tell me. Also, please tell me what guys look for in a gf.(:
Most Helpful Guy
Well you're gorgeous and it sounds like you're a great person with a great personality.. so that is quite a good question why he isn't making a move! Haha, but seriously he might just be too nervous to make a further move(as in he wants YOU to) or he put you in his friend zone.. I'm not gonna try to pick one for you. Qualities that I look for in potential GF's.. smiles a lot, cute, wants to talk to me every day(but not clingy), good laugh with a good sense of humor(not dirty TOO much :p ), have at least some idea with what they want to do in life, not more than friendly-flirty with other guys, and not slutty with other guys.00|00|0

Karmapa in Manhattan: Viewing Modern Tibetan Art
(April 10, 2015 – New York, New York) After exploring Tibet's pre-modern art at the Rubin, His Holiness the Karmapa turned his attention several centuries forward, attending an exhibition of modern Tibetan art by artists working both inside Tibet and in diaspora.
Co-sponsored by the Trace Foundation and Arthub, the exhibition is called "Transcending Tibet" and features 30 newly commissioned works of art by many of the best-known artists in the field today, including Benchung, Gade,Gonkar Gyatso, Jhamsang, Kesang Lamdark, Tashi Norbu and Tenzing Rigdrol, along with many other important voices. Several of the artists, including Nyima Dhondup, Sodhon, Tenzin Phakmo and Tulku Jamyang, were present to discuss their work with His Holiness.
Art has emerged as an important site for the negotiation of Tibetan identity during this tumultuous phase of Tibetan history. As such, the Gyalwang Karmapa's viewing of the exhibition stemmed not only from his avid interest in art per se, but also reflected a concern voiced by him in his talks to Tibetan communities across the United States. His Holiness has consistently urged Tibetan audiences to find ways to articulate a Tibetan identity that can be compatible with the identity of the new contexts in which they are living, rather than rigidly preserving old ways.

Afternoon tea birthday cake9/09/2015

I spent over 12 hours on this cake, and just as I gently pressed the last sculpted tiny scone onto my handmade and painted icing cake stand, husband tells me he's left the flash card for our SLR at work.
Fantastic. Thankfully it's not 2004 and my camera phone does a nice enough job, despite the yellowy overhead lights. I would have taken it outside for better lighting, but being summer, and in England, it was pissing it down with rain. So everything was against me.
But who am I to let the weather and my husbands forgetfulness end my attempts at recording my hard work?
So here, in all of it's colour corrected glory, is the story of how I made this cake.
My Auntie Bee has made our birthday cakes for the past 26 years. I've had trolls with candy floss hair, a sulky teen leaning over a computer, cookbooks, art pads, giant cows and shopping bags.
So as soon as I found an interest in baking, I started to return the favour. This year I decided to push the boat out a little and attempt a version of a cake I had seen on the talented Emily's blog a few months back. Here is the link, and with much better photography than this post will have.
So how was it done? When it came to making afternoon tea parts, I had to let the icing dry before I could paint them, and then dry again before putting it all together. Each part was made separately and then assembled on the cake.
So i made one hell of a mess.
My first attempt at plates & saucers failed (they were too thick and wouldn't set.) But my teapot, teacups, sandwiches and tasty treats were all drying nicely.
The teapot was easy enough, despite my spout looking a little flaccid and sorry for itself, and I ended up making an extra lid after my attempts and putting a little handle on the top ruined the original shape.
I remade the plates, plus a few spare ones in case any broke in the assembly. It was a bloody good job I did. Then I painted the same pattern onto the plates, parts of the cake stand and teacups.
The worst part was the cake stand. I don't know why I did that too myself. One extra hard push and the whole thing snapped in half. Assembling tiny sandwiches and scones to a delicate sheet of icing, with shaky big fat hands was incredibly difficult.
But we got there. I say we, but Kris actually played Spyro games and napped whilst I assembled and made this cake. Which is why there are no pictures of me making it. What a rubbish glamous assistant he turned out to be.
So after 12 hours (split over two days) I was putting the finishing touches to the cake.
Everything was made from icing, and was fiddly as hell.
1 teapot
4 teacups and sauces
1 cake stand
1 sugar pot complete with mini sugar cubes
1 milk jug
1 cake knife
1 cake plate
3 serving plates
20 mini ham sandwiches
4 scones
1 pot of jam
1 pot of clotted cream
8 various pastries
4 eclairs
1 victoria sponge
4 spoons
1 table runner
All I can say was it was a bloody perilous 10 minutes car ride over to my Auntie's house.
But I think she liked it.
So then onto the best part, eating it. I went for a traditional classic sponge, with a redcurrant and strawberry filling.
She refused to cut through any of the decorations, so carefully dismantled the cake before cutting.
And that's about it.
Happy Birthday Auntie Bee!

Moyes admits Anichebe fear
Everton boss David Moyes admits there is a chance Victor Anichebe could miss the rest of the season.
Last Updated: 27/02/09 6:31pm
Everton boss David Moyes concedes there is a chance Victor Anichebe could miss the rest of the season.
Anichebe suffered a knee injury in last weekend's 0-0 draw at Newcastle United following a shocking challenge by Kevin Nolan.
The striker has damaged ligaments in his knee, but the Toffees are waiting for the swelling to subside in order to learn the full extent of the damage.
Moyes admits Anichebe could be sidelined for up to month, if the injury proves to be only strained ligaments in the knee.
However, the Everton chief also acknowledged that a more serious diagnosis would likely see the powerful forward sit out the remainder of the campaign.
Bad injury
"Victor has got a bad injury from the tackle," said Moyes.
"He has lateral knee ligament damage, and possibly some other damage as well which we won't be able to clear up until next week.
"But at the moment, if it's what we think we have now then it will be three to four weeks, if not then he could be out for the rest of the season."
Everton are already without fellow strikers Yakubu and James Vaughan, while Mikel Arteta is out for the rest of the season after also suffering a knee injury at Newcastle.

Minn. man gets jail time for stealing from Mitchell business
A Minnesota man was sentenced to 180 days in jail for stealing more than $30,000 from a Mitchell company.
Brett Christianson, 44, was sentenced Tuesday during court at the Davison County Public Safety Center.
Christianson was an independent contractor working for Premier Systems of Mitchell. He pleaded guilty to grand theft for taking checks from customers, writing his name on the check and cashing them.
Christianson received a suspended five-year prison sentence and will begin serving his jail time in January. Judge Tim Bjorkman said he wants Christianson to stay out until January to begin making payments on the $30,538.11 ordered for restitution. Bjorkman ordered Christianson to pay $1,000 per month except February, March and April until it is paid in full — as an independent contractor, Christianson has off-time those three months.
Christianson will serve 60 days starting Jan. 1, 60 days in January 2015, and 60 days in January 2016. Bjorkman also ordered Christianson to pay a $5,000 fine, $104 in court costs and spend three years on probation.

Welcome to the HCUL Frontline Essentials Workshop online registration.
Frontline: The Critical Component of a Credit Union. Being frontline staff means more than taking deposits and cashing checks. Frontline staff need to know security procedures, current regulations, and how laws apply to different types of accounts. Frontline staff must identify currency by portraits and trace the flow of checks and share drafts. Frontline staff should identify members' needs and offer solutions through credit union products and services.
In addition to all of this, many frontline staff must balance the drawer to perfection everyday. No other position in the credit union measures perfection daily like the teller or anyone who has to handle cash, a critical component of the credit union.
Join us for this educational workshop presented by HCUL Governmental Affairs Director Paula Sumimoto-Matsushima.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: June 7, 2017

Ants won't walk over chalk so if you can make a chalk outline around the bowl. If the bowl is on a carpeted area find a piece of wood to put it on then draw the chalk around the edges.
Good luck =^..^=

Ants don't like baby powder either so dust some around the area. All the best. Teresa (06/20/2008)

I found the best thing to use for ants was cinnamon, pure cinnamon, no sugar added. I sprinkle it all around my pets bowl and no more ants. Good luck!
By Crafty47
Spray full strength vinegar around and under the bowl. Let the area dry then put the bowl back down. Also, if you see a trail of ants, spray the trail with vinegar. It removes the scent ants leave behind for others. My daughter is allergic to ants and I have learned that vinegar works the best for quick results. Cinnamon works as a wonderful smelling deterrent, but the vinegar (when sprayed on the ants) will kill them right then. If you use cinnamon, make sure to sweep it up before mopping, otherwise it may stain the surface it's on (learned from experience) then it's really hard to clean it off. (06/20/2008)

Baby powder does the same as chalk if you don't have chalk. (06/23/2008)

These easy-to-hit hybrids optimise distance and accuracy through CG position and weight distribution.
This hybrid features:
- High launching design
- Deep profile
- Weighted for forgiveness
- 1 year guarantee
Easy-to-hit hybrids replace long irons to provide proper distance gaps. Progressive CG locations generate the ideal trajectory: high launch with appropriate spin. The higher-lofted hybrids have a CG that's lower and more forward to reduce spin. The CG in the lower lofts is back to launch the ball high. Extreme heel-and-toe weighting yields high inertia for greater forgiveness and consistent impact. A deeper head profile also increases MOI and provides maximum height on approach shots.
This Karsten hybrid also comes with its own branded head cover.

For 17 years, Whitney Vann woke up residents in the WBRZ viewing area with her cheery smile and bubbly personality as co-host of "2une-In."
Now, for the first time, she's waking her and husband Robert Schneckenberger's kids up for school … even fixing breakfast for 16-year-old son Reid and 11-year-old daughter Sidney Joy .
"I never could even take them to school," says Whitney, who retired from the early morning TV show Aug. 28. "I'm back on the tennis court and, for the first time, playing with more than five hours of sleep."
Ah, sleep.
Whitney admits she's enjoying not getting up at 3:30 in the morning. "I don't know, I did it for so long," she confesses. "A lot of nights I'd only get three or four hours of sleep. I just got up and did it (2une-In) … put one foot in front of the other."
Now, this much-loved TV personality is set to embark on a new venture. It's a feature-driven TV show called "Weekends With Whitney" that tells stories about ordinary and interesting people and places. It airs this Sunday at 6:30 a.m. on WBRZ with a rebroadcast on WBTR Sunday night at 6.
The show is a collaboration between Whitney and WBRZ station manager Rocky Daboval. According to Whitney, the two met last May to talk renewing her contract.
"I told him I'd renew for a year," she says. "I thought I could hang on for another year with the exciting changes that are coming."
Then Whitney left for a family vacation and when she came back she knew she just didn't have another year left in her. But Daboval wasn't ready to let this "Channel 2 family" member leave the nest, so they talked about what it would take to keep her in the fold. Not having an existing show she was interested in, he threw down the gauntlet and said, "design one and it's yours."
It's really hers, too. Whitney owns the show and serves as executive producer. There's also an option to franchise it down the road like the popular, similar-in-format "PM Magazine" that aired on WBRZ in the 1980s.
"So much has happened in the last three months," says Whitney. "So many fabulous people have lent their expertise. I've had to set up a business. I have to sell the ads. I have to write and edit the promos, do all the marketing and branding."
She's also had to purchase camera and editing equipment, as well as hire a co-worker —senior producer and videographer Kim Bronikowski.
"Owning my own show even 10 years ago would have been cost-prohibitive," says Whitney. "A video camera then cost around $25,000 and now costs $5,000. And, we're able to do some amazing things editing on the Mac computer.
"I'm learning all kinds of new things," she continues. "I love that creative part. It's freeing, more than anything."
Aside from her own show airing on WBRZ, Whitney remains in the Channel 2 family by airing her favorite stories from each week's show on "2une-In" and the 5 p.m. newscast every Thursday. Along with weekly feature stories, "Weekends with Whitney" will air several regular segments like "Sunday Sizzle" and inspirational words and advice from local psychologist Nick Abraham.
Whitney has been in television for 25 years and it's a career she stumbled into quite by accident.
She was trying out for cheerleader at Ole Miss and the guy who was helping her learn a stunt asked her to help him out with a project in return. It involved interviewing people in downtown Oxford. "I was hooked," she says.
After getting her undergraduate degree in broadcast journalism at Ole Miss, she went to the Boston University for her master's degree. Her thesis was a 30-minute documentary on the state of the lobster industry.
"Now, I'm back where I started," says Whitney. "Next month I'm going out on an oyster boat and we'll talk about that industry. I guess you can say I've fallen in love with TV all over again."

Even when Ted Lilly is not at his best, his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates continue to provide support.
The left-hander looks to improve to 6-0 while trying to help the NL West-leading Dodgers to a season-high seventh straight win and series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.
Off to the best start of his career, the 36-year-old Lilly (5-0, 1.79 ERA) continues to build confidence even when he does not have his best stuff. After he gave up four earned runs and walked three in 6 1-3 innings of an 11-5 win over Colorado on May 13, Lilly allowed four unearned runs in seven innings while not factoring in the decision of a 6-5 win over St. Louis on Friday.
Only twice in Lilly's seven starts have the Dodgers (30-13) failed to score at least six runs.
"I'm pretty darn confident that we're going to come back and score some runs," Lilly told the Dodgers' official website. "So you figure every run you save counts."
Facing Arizona for the first time this season, Lilly went 2-3 with a 3.90 ERA while receiving an average of 4.50 runs of support against the Diamondbacks in 2011.
It took some time for the Dodgers to score Tuesday, but they rallied from a pair of five-run deficits to beat Arizona 8-7. Tony Gwynn had three hits with two RBIs and Ivan DeJesus delivered a go-ahead two-run double with two outs in the ninth to help Los Angeles to its 11th win in 13 games.
The Dodgers, who have not won seven in a row since a nine-game run May 9-18, 2010, are 7-2 with star center fielder Matt Kemp out due to a hamstring injury.
"It seems we're never out of a game, no matter what," said Kemp, who is batting .359 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs, and could be back early next week. "It's exciting to be around this."
His teammates feel the same way.
"Guys don't care that Matt's hurt,'' Gwynn said. "At the end of the day we've got a job to do.''
Andre Ethier singled and drove in his NL-leading 40th run with a sacrifice fly Tuesday. The Phoenix native is 20 for 40 with seven RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak against the Diamondbacks.
Los Angeles, which has scored 40 runs during its second six-game winning streak of the season, has won three in a row and six of eight at Arizona.
"We are not playing good enough against a team that's way too good and very opportunistic and they capitalized on our mistakes," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said.
The Diamondbacks (19-25) have dropped four straight and 14 of 17 at Chase Field since opening 4-0 there. Lyle Overbay had four hits and hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning.
Justin Upton, who had three hits Tuesday, is 9 for 20 (.450) with six RBIs in the last six games. However, he is 2 for 25 with six strikeouts versus Lilly.
Joe Saunders (2-3, 3.55) takes the mound for the Diamondbacks after he allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings Friday while not factoring in the decision of a 6-4 win at Kansas City. That performance was a much-needed effort for Saunders, who gave up 13 runs over 8 1-3 innings while losing his previous two starts.
The left-hander is 3-6 with a 3.89 ERA in 11 starts versus Los Angeles, but 0-3 with a 5.24 ERA in four at Chase Field.
