Using new Stem Cell technology, growth Factors will soothe and renew skin leaving a more radiant and even complexion.
From the moment you step outside in the morning, your skin feels the effects of the environment. Pollution, toxins, wind, and UV rays known as free radicals cause undetectable damage.
Intrinsic factors inherent in the natural aging process also play a role and can contribute to enzyme loss, reduced collagen and dehydration. This combination of factors can speed up the development of free radicals, stopping skin cells from performing at their best, and ultimately leading to a decline in elasticity, resilience, tone and texture.
Antioxidants hold the key to skin cell defense & repair. These skin protectors fortify cells by trapping and containing free radicals and boosting cell function. HydraFacial MD™ works to not only detoxify skin clearing away daily wear and tear, but also to replenish the skin with much-needed antioxidants to revitalize and protect. Peptides are links of amino acids that boost collagen and elastin production. These age-refining superstars help to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles while also helping to stimulate the body's natural antioxidant response. Hyaluronic Acid is naturally produced by the body and gives skin its volume and fullness. A lack of Hyaluronic Acid can lead to a decrease in the elasticity of your skin. HydraFacial MD™ utilizes a special low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid that plumps and deeply hydrates the skin like no other.
Great for all skin types, the HydraFacial MD™ Treatment is not only highly effective at improving overall skin health, but also excellent for remedying:
The customizable HydraFacial MD™ treatment can be tailored to safely & effectively address your specific skin concerns. The targeted problem/solution protocols were developed to help mitigate some of the most universal skin concerns, but your trained HydraFacial MD™ professional can always further tailor your treatment to make it most exacting to your unique needs. Your skin isn't like everyone else's and your treatment shouldn't have to be either.
What is HydraFacial MD™
HydraFacial MD™ is an invigorating treatment that can be given in as little as 30 minutes. It delivers long-term?skin health and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of all skin types. It offers instant, noticeable results with no downtime or irritation. The HydraFacial MD™ treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective.
Why is HydraFacial MD™ good for my skin?
Hydration is the foundation of healthy, radiant skin. Irritation of the skin has been proven to increase signs of aging. The HydraFacial MD™ is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment.
Am I a candidate for this treatment?
The HydraFacial MD™ treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial MD™ treatment. Your physician or skincare professional may choose specific treatment serums and/or customize the treatment for your unique skin conditions and needs. Consult your physician or skincare professional for a skin evaluation and sensitivity test.
How long does the treatment take?
Is there any downtime or pain involved?
Our goal is to help support you in a balanced lifestyle. That's why HydraFacial MD™ is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 30 minutes. You may put on make-up and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.
What results may be expected?
How many treatments are needed to see results? How long do the results last?
Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. We don't believe in quick fixes, so one treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, oily and congested skin. Continued HydraFacial MD™ treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results.

Roofing Shingle Warranties – What You Don't Know Might Hurt You
The Basic Warranty
Despite which roof roof shingles you pick, they need to adhere to federal government criteria and have a minimum warranty that the roof shingles will perform as assured. Guarantees usually range from 15 to 40 years, but there are an enhancing variety of tiles offered with a life time warranty.
While roofing shingle warranties are frequently thought about criterion, there could be substantial differences in service warranty protections in between similar roof shingles. Perhaps most importantly, some service warranties just cover the expense of the shingles, but not the labour needed to eliminate the old roof as well as mount the new one.
It's essential to keep in mind that the majority of shingle producers have particular installment guidelines as well as incorrect installment of your roofing tiles can nullify your service warranty.
Wind Warranty
High winds could be really destructive to roof shingles. Effective gusts will tear the roof shingles from your roof, but also weaker winds could create pricey damage.
Tiles will lift, also if just for a second, in solid sufficient winds. This can be the start of 2 troubles. Initially, when the shingle lifts, particles and moisture could blow in under the roof shingles. Once the roof shingles returns to its original position, it catches the particles as well as moisture. If there is way too much dampness, it could leakage via your roof and also ruin your residence. The entrapped particles also keeps the floor tile from existing completely level, which lets in more wetness and also particles.
Wind additionally creates tiles to warp, which not only lets in more wetness and also debris, yet could also cause tiles to split or break.
Algae Resistant Warranty
Algae growth is a typical roof trouble that creates dark touches on your roof tiles. The algae can be cleaned away, yet it will likely return, particularly if you live in a moist environment. If you have had algae issues in the past, you need to look for algae-resistant coverage on your shingle warranty.

how come they put galaxy nexus on the list?? its a device from google manufactured by samsung same as apple parts designed by apple n most are manufactured by samsung... if they put nexus then they should put iphones too on that list... really greedy apple... u r really disappionting the world...
Zhizhen Network Technology in China is suing Apple. Siri in apple is say to have infringe the patent use by the company that known as Xiao - I - Bot assistant voice programme.
The lawsuit takes place in China.
Retribution time for Apple.
hope rotten Apple taste their own suck medication.
Hope the Chinese will make history on this.
in China everything's is possible.....So Apple beware.....LOL
AnonD-9023, 01 Sep 2012That shows immaturity and hint of trolling.
Samsung can use Apple's tech IF they take a lic... moreas you yourself said bs from fanboys... you as a fanboy yourself can't see past the apple tree. baning a better product from themarket will benifit mister fanboy how exactly?
If apple thks they r innovative, what is so innovative from iphone3 to 3GS to 4 then 4GS? Even with iphone5, there is hardly anythg special as such features are somethg consumers r begging for n long overdued. Eg. Proprietary connectors which r extremely ungreen. Forced to use itunes for very basic thgs. Then they give up to consumers' cry n launch iCloud. Now in iphone5, they try to kill google maps n youtube. Any worst, they will be changing the phone connectors soon to spawn new sales. That kills its loyal customers n accessories supply chain. Soon apple may sue asus n samsung for notebooks being too similiar to macbook air. When will this ends?
i am not able 2 undrstand dat wat does apple want....y is it actin like a baby nd cryin....samsung rules now days...dats y it jst wants its share back...apple plzzz...dont cry...samsung roxxx...this way then...samsungs all prodct will b banned then
I am not a fan of any company or mobile SO, but my money. That said, this is getting ridiculous. Is Apple just admitting their total incompetence for innovation anymore so that the only way they can stop the BIG rival is with lawsuits? Why Apple fears Samsung so much? Ok, rhetorical question because Apple wanted to dominate the world with their iDevices, but they didn't see Sammy coming. Did someone write the truck plate?
Anonymous, 01 Sep 2012I'm so sick of Samcopy and their complete lack of originality. When you Apple haters and Sam-... moreThis is also some damming evidence as well:
[deleted post]No mate, you're dreaming to much! Win8 in smartphones world has much to learn and grow...the app market isn't good and tiles only option is to boring. And they already failed with the WP7.5 users, how can you trust microsoft anymore? I will love Win8 for my pc, like Sony Vaio duo 11, very cool pc/tablet. But not as a smartphone, I love my androids paired with my SONY smartwatch ;)!
what ever it is samsung rocks and no one can stop it and samsung is the only company with highest mobile models.
AnonD-36622, 01 Sep 2012So out there, there aren't any innovators, yes? Because Apple also begun by stealing Xerox's t... moreThat shows immaturity and hint of trolling.
Samsung can use Apple's tech IF they take a license deal but they denied taking the deal and now facing consequences.
Didn't apple and nokia made deal back then ? all companies are getting along , even Microsoft took deal for a small royalty fee for their WP platform to avoid lawsuits from Apple side regarding iOS.
Apple stealing Xerox and Copy Prada is just a joke created by fandroids as they have no life and no brain.
Apple took deal with xerox and finally xerox sue apple but they failed because apple already took deal with them legally and coming to Prada , just examine the design patents of Prada and iPhone , you will know it.
If Samsung really didn't copy ......what are those E-Mails stating "how to make devices to look more like an iPhone" kind of subject ? and Google also warned Samsung in 2010.
Google carefully designed android to "work around" apple patents and they implemented everything in a different way (Vanilla Android) while Samsung entered into dirty politics with Touchwiz and went into too much copying.
These is what Apple can do only to Samsung with lawsuit??
Samsung wins Patent Case against Apple in Japan, go Samsung.
Apple is nothing but a shit company now, they lost their ground to Samsung for smart devices and they dont see any hope in them thats why they are after Samsung and the biggest issue is Apple started copying at the 1st place when they copied LG Parada the diagonal shape for their macbooks from Toshiba & Motorola.............Apple should be banned from the world market..............and Sammy please dont give a shit about what ever Crapple say or do..........
Apple can't be serious! A 5year old would confuse the puny iphone for a Galaxy S2, S3 or Note. The differences are just too great. As for patent infringments, from what I saw on their last chart the SGS2 had the least infringements so how many will the SGSR and Note really have?
If Apple wins this, or even if they don't, I hope the lawsuit Motorola filed goes in Moto's favor and Apple takes the heavy hit it deserves. They need a loss to show them they can't go bullying Sammy just for doing so well
I always hate the way Apple face the competition. Rather than investing their time on making a "WOW" innovation, they choose the path of lawsuit. I always like competition in Smartphones, it makes the technology grow faster and faster by day, and apple in the past was the pioneer on heating up the engine but now, Apple try to face the competition using lawsuit. It basically shows that apple has reach its limit.
The iPhone 5, which is basically a longer iPhone 4s with higher spec already draw a considerable amount of people bored with the design, the outer look is one case. Now, with lawsuit apple itself start, they can't even "steal" the idea that might improve their smartphone interactivity like: scroll-able notification (used by android), interactive widget on home screen (used by android) or Metro-like interface (used by windows) because now, even the competitor will see the gap in apple plans and use it against them. People can put a good argument on how Apple may not need all of them to survive. But really, time will tell, they are loosing their popularity by day.
instead of giving your customers more, you try to limit the compitition. and stupid fanboys who got videocalling 9 years and was it 3 updates late have the mental fortitude to come on here and bash samsung. the curved edges of a phone is enough to get it baned even if it offers 10 times more real enovation to its comsumers? fanboys and americanist are so full of themselves. by the way the both the icon and grid system, camera, video calling mutitasking, and lots more was coppied from symbian. your interest as a consumer is what should be driving you coments and interest but instead you settle for less cause there is an apple on it so it cool..... please guys think for yourselves

Entangled (Spellbound #1)
If the Secret Circle had an evil twin, it'd be Entangled. With all her witchy powers you would think that Charlene might have devoured her twin in the womb, but fortunately Gray lives on only to be tormented by her jealous, heartless twin sister. However, good will prevail or at least take on another shape. Coupled with all the high school drama and enriched with supernatural trauma, Entangled is a spell-flinging one-up teen fiction filled with a set of crafty characters, which makes for a quick, fluid read that will keep you interested until the end. This is a series, but doesn't leave you hanging by your fingernails from a cliff. Instead, there is some closer, but with just enough enticement that will hopefully make you want to pick up the next book. However, there isn't a lot of depth and it includes a mother that is conveniently absent whenever something important needs to be handled. I understand the plotting, since this is becoming a very common theme in many teen/YA fiction books. It allows the teens to have more freedom without the dreaded parental unit interference, but I can't help wondering is this a too easy of an out? If you like the show Secret Circle, you'll enjoy Entangled. It has a similar motif and premise with a similar punch. Much of what occurred was expected and fairly predictable, but did not diminish the overall entertainment value. You won't get a big twist or gasp moment - but you'll be rooting for team Gray and wondering what new trouble will come. I will definitely be reading the second in the series. A good set up in the end makes me want to see what happens next. This story is far from over and I can't wait to read on!

Hello Jessica!
Thanks so much for e-mail me!
You already are at my favs! I love to increase my list
and know new people! You are doing a great work here!
I love everything!!
A kiss and a hug,
see you!
oooh love these.. especially the last one!
Pretty good post. I just came across your site and wanted to say
that I've really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way
I'll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
The gray one is soo great! I would sooo wear that 🙂
Loved your latest post, by the way.
I like both the yellow and grey, but voted for the yellow because it is my favorite color. I use it often in my paintings. The yellow one I would have worn when I was 30 years younger. I would wear it now but I live in a city that laughs at and think the 90 year old lady that rides a bike should be committed. The shoes in your blog and on facebook are some of the best designs I have seen in a very long time.

Pack of Dorks
By Beth Vrabel
Age Range: 8-12
Sky Pony Press, 2015
If I could change one thing about parenting, it would be to have it commonly accepted that parents & kids should keep reading books together well into middle school. My fifth grader and I both read Pack of Dorks this past weekend (she first, me second) and it opened up so many excellent conversations about friendship, bullying, and having the courage to be your own person.
By turns hilarious, painful, and wise, this book is above all real. It's so easy to relate to Lucy, Sam, and April. We all know Beckys, and many of us have been Becky at one point in our lives.
I especially love how Beth Vrabel makes it clear that being a good friend is something you have to learn. You will make mistakes. Other people will hurt you by making mistakes of their own. The trick is to grow past it.
As my daughter told me when I asked her if she would have given Becky a second chance, "I think you have to give kids a second chance. And a third. And a fourth. You never know when they will actually start meaning it."
I don't know if I completely agree. But it's making for excellent conversations, and I'm learning a lot about how my daughter thinks and where she's at on her middle school journey. We will be talking about this book and the lessons we can learn from it for days.
And that's one of the greatest things about reading books with your middle schoolers. You can break open some of these deeply personal issues from a not-so-personal angle. Not having to bring up the names of specific classmates is so helpful. Using book characters instead gives your child a chance to think about how he or she would respond before a similar friendship situation comes up in the real world.
Parenting would be much harder without books like this one.
(Parenting note: This book pairs especially well with Little Girls Can Be Mean by Michelle Anthony, M.A., Ph.D & Reyna Lindert, Ph.D.)

Digging out the cap screws is going to be interesting; the stripper and paint form a thick paste and it is difficult to get a majority of it out of the screw head. I ended up with the allen wrench not pushing far enough in to the head because of the paste to get a good grip.
While wishing I had a good air line to blow it clear, I heard a truck pull up and it turned out to be Ken Braswell and his Father-in-Law, Bob. Bob is a WWII vet and graciously offered to loan us his air compressor. Well, they had the unit in the truck! I spent some time unloading it with them and talking. By this time it was almost noon. Saturday was one of the scheduled tour dates for our IFC (The Integrated Fire Control i.e. the radar & vans) area. I got a call from Tony Tannucilli, our MP (volunteer) that we we only had Bill Jackson available for the tours and he was faced with a Boy Scout Troop as well as civilians - could I get up there and assist. I closed up the shop and went up to lend a hand.
I must say it was one of the busiest tour days I have ever encountered. We counted 110 folks through the gates and just Bill & I were giving the tours. Funny thing though, these folks were all truly interested. They asked lots of intelligent questions (young & old alike) and they actively participated in the tour. One gentleman was with the FAA and added a lot of great stories about the HIPAR radar; another fellow had been in the Navy and work worked with cryptography and helped explain how that worked in a system like ours. There was also a Nike vet who explained the failsafes on a nuclear weapon to the group. The groups took on a dynamic all their own and before we knew it we had run past closing time.
In the end, I did not make much headway on the missiles but I certainly reinforced the reason that I am doing them. "Til the next time....... Blazing Skies!"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oozlefinch is the unofficial historic mascot of the Air Defense Artillery – and formerly of the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps. Oozlefinch is portrayed as a featherless bird that flies backwards (at supersonic speeds[3]) and carries weapons of the Air Defense and Coastal Artillery, most often a Nike-Hercules Missile. Oozlefinch has been portrayed in many different forms and artistic interpretations through its history.[4] Oozle's motto is "If it flies, it dies. Blazing skies." reinforcing the purpose of the Air Defense Artillery.

BOOKSMITH: Sonya Renee Taylor / The Body Is Not an Apology
Booksmith is thrilled to present world-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor as she launches The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love.
A revolutionary departure from the corporate self-help and body-positivity movement, and an examination of the intersection of radical self-love and social justice, The Body Is Not an Apology takes its name from the movement Taylor started and the organization she directs.
Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies.
The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world -- for us all.
"From the moment I met Sonya Renee, I knew my life, my world, and the way I view myself and others around me would never be the same.The Body Is Not an Apologyis essential reading for those of us who crave understanding and those who are already on the path to learning how beautiful and complex our bodies are. It will empower you with the tools to navigate a world that is often unkind to those of us who whether by choice or design don't adhere to society's standard of beauty. Her words will echo in your heart, soul, and body just as they have in mine." -- Tess Holiday, Plus Model, Author & Founder of Eff Your Beauty Standards
"The Body Is Not an Apologyis a gift, a blessing, a prayer, a reminder, a sacred text. In it, Taylor invites us to live in a world where different bodies are seen, affirmed, celebrated, and just. Taylor invites us to break up with shame, to deepen our literacy, and to liberate our practice of celebrating every body and never apologizing for this body that is mine and takes care of me so well. This book cracked me open in ways that I'm so grateful for. I know it will do the same for you." -- Alicia Garza, cocreator of the Black Lives Matter Global Network and Strategy + Partnerships Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance
"The Body Is Not an Apologyis a radical, merciful, transformational book that will give you deep insights, inspiration, and concrete tools for launching the revolution right inside your own beloved body. Written from deep experience, with a force of catalytic energy and so much love." -- Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues and In the Body of the World
Sonya Renee Taylor is the Founder and Radical Executive Officer of The Body is Not An Apology, an international movement and organization committed to radical self-love and body empowerment as the foundational tool for social justice and global transformation.

Eight Things I Wish I'd Known When I Started Running
|My one and only flying feet
picture. Basildon parkrun 2017
1. You don't need lots of expensive equipment, but you do need the right equipment. You can run in anything comfortable, light, and weather-appropriate, but a good sports bra (if you're a girl!) and a decent pair of trainers are essential. Trainers have to be replaced regularly according to how many miles they've done. I did not know this when I started, and only found out when I started having serious pain in my foot--pain which put paid to my running--and a sports shop assistant showed me that the cushioning on one of my trainers (the one corresponding to the bad foot) was broken.
2. You don't need water or special food. If you're running 5k or less you don't need to take a bottle of water with you. Provided you're well hydrated before you start, and there's a drink waiting for you when you finish, there's no need to figure out how to carry a drink around. Similarly, there's no need to carb-load, or add extra protein, or anything. Just don't run when you're full or starving, and you'll be fine. (If you're running more than 5k then you may need to think about taking water.)
3. Run slowly. You're not trying to break any records, here. If it's hard work, don't stop or give up, just slow down. Even if you're jogging at a pace barely faster than you can walk, you're still running. Even if you're walking, you're still moving. Don't stop, just slow down. (Oh, and having to slow to a walk every once in a while to recover isn't called failing at running, it's called interval training.)
4. Running outdoors feels completely different from running on a treadmill. I find the treadmill much harder, and somewhat boring, but it is measurable, only has hills where you want them, is safer than running alone at night and is handy on cold, rainy or icy days. Or hot days, apparently, not that I remember what those are. The treadmill has its place, but running outside will give you better times and feel more fun.
5. Don't expect it to get easier quickly. Getting fit is a very long, slow process. Don't get discouraged if improvement is a long time in coming. It will come, but not overnight. It may also come in unexpected ways. The first improvement I noticed when I started running wasn't my times getting faster, but my lung capacity getting bigger. I have always suffered with asthma, but the lessening of my symptoms was one of the first benefits I found to running. A little bit later I noticed how much quicker I was recovering after each run. To start with it would often take over fifteen minutes before I was no longer beetroot-red, panting, sweating and gasping for a drink. Within two months I was feeling back to normal within three minutes of finishing my run.
6. There's more than one way to learn. I've done two different Couch25k programmes. The first was the NHS one, and the second was Zombies, Run! which worked better for me and was a lot of fun. My problem is that I tend to run less in the winter (because it's cold so I'm restricted to the boring treadmill) so often have to restart my training in the spring by doing a programme again. If Couch25k isn't for you, try just running for an extra minute each time you go out. That's worked for me too.
7. Get support. It's really great to be able to compare notes and tips with other runners, and know that others are experiencing exactly what you are. The running community is incredibly supportive and friendly, and there isn't any judgement or comparing of times. I belong to a running club, the fabulous Castle Point Joggers, have a running buddy, and I enjoy parkrun too.
8. You will eventually come to enjoy it. When I started running I didn't enjoy it - in fact, I was so apprehensive I'd get the "running runs" before going out. (TMI?) Others assured me that I would one day come to love it, and they were right. It was once something I dreaded, then it became something I was ambivalent about, and now it's something I look forward to. I'm not sure whether it's the sense of achievement, the endorphins, or simply the fact that when all your effort and energy is put into just keeping moving all the day's other worries fade away.
I'm still very much a beginner (5k PB 37:10) but I'm a runner, and I'm really seeing the benefits.

Celebratory gunfire claims victims around the world
The 2009-10 New Year holiday period was marred by deaths around the world from celebratory gunfire. In Georgia, US, four-year old Marquel Peters was killed when a bullet from an AK-47 entered the church where he was sitting with his family, fatally wounding him in the head. Similar incidents occurred in Medellin, Columbia; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Veracruz, Mexico; Naples, Italy; and El Zapote, Honduras. Anticipating these tragedies, Gabriel Conte of CLAVE, noted that the impact of aerial gunfire has been reduced by 25% in Brazil by keeping better data, allowing police to investigate incidents as crimes, rather than accidents.

I am so excited to bring you this book review.
Lulu by Georgie Donaghey and Ann-Marie Finn
Lulu by Georgie Donaghey and Ann-Marie Finn
Book Description:
Lulu's life was quite cosy and nice, with mountains of fish and even more ice. But something was missing, something wasn't quite right. She dreamed of the stage, she yearned for the lights. Join Lulu on her adventure and see what she discovers…
My Review:
From the first page, you can't help falling in love with Lulu. This beautiful polar bear with something more on her mind than her cosy life of fishing amongst the ice.
Lulu longs for the lights of the stage, and will be never content to only dance in front of a pack of sea lions.
When her friends remind her of her place, Lulu packs up and heads for the city.
Opening night, the butterflies flutter and tickle her belly, but Lulu doesn't give in to her limbs wobbling like jelly.
She conquers the stage with polish and grace, night after night with a smile on her face.
Her dream of performing has certainly come true, but Lulu is lonely and misses her crew.
She heads on home, to find her friends have built her, her very own show.
Lulu's life is once again cosy and nice with her wonderfully supportive friends on the ice.
I read this with my almost 4 year old who was captivated from start to finish. We loved the whimsical rhyme that flowed so smoothly, making this a great read aloud. The stunning illustrations by Ann- Marie Finn bring Lulu to life. Every page is so beautiful I wanted to print them to put upon my little girls walls. My absolute favourite illustration is this one.
The overarching theme of following your dreams but keeping grounded in yourself is expertly woven into the story, making this a book I suspect will be read over and over again in our household.
My final thoughts:
Georgie Donaghey has a true sense of what entertains children and I believe this will be a great addition to any child's book shelf ages 3-6.
FYI, This is Georgie's debut of which we are incredibly impressed. Not only is she an author, she is also runs an amazing Aussie children's book review site, with loads of tips, tricks and links for new and aspiring authors.

Jonathan Frakes is a bit more than just another Star Trek actor. True, he's known for seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, appearances on Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, and directing several episodes across the various shows and two of the Next Gen movies, but that doesn't mean he's not still willing to work in the universe. Obviously, with a new Trek series on the horizon, we couldn't help but ask Frakes at Toronto ComiCon today if had any ideas for the new Star Trek. His response? "How do I get on that show?"
For the most part, the man known as "Number One" is optimistic about the new series, which is being executive produced by Alex Kurtzman, and developed by Bryan Fuller. He's especially impressed at the behind the scenes talent they've hired so far like hiring Star Trek: The Wrth of Khan director Nicholas Meyer.
"I think that's a really incredible get. A very smart move," Frakes said. "I'm very optimistic because Kutzman's good, Meyer's awesome, so I don't think it's going to suck. […] Meyer will bring a level of gravitas, [and] that's good."
"They just attached Rod Roddenberry in some capacity, which is again smart for the franchise," he continued. "My understanding is that Kurtzman is going to do it as part of the world that J.J.'s movies are set it, so I don't think there's a place for us in the Next Gen. But I'd like to be involved as a director actually."
Frakes' real concern is oversaturation. "I was always afraid that Paramount was so greedy," he said of all the various spin-offs to come from Next Gen's success in the 90s. "There was too much Star Trek and that worries me a little bit now."
"I was surprised when I saw that press release," Frakes added. He was told by the studio that the focus was on the new movie series launched by J.J. Abrams in 2009. "I had this Star Trek pilot I wanted to sell and they said no because they just turned Shatner down, and they had just turned Bryan Singer down. And this was just a couple of years ago," he said.
Of course, Next Gen still has its fans, and thanks in no small part of the internet, the show continues to thrive. In meme form. What does Frakes think of "Riker Sits Down"? "One of my personal favourites," he said with a laugh. "I didn't know I had Rikered that many [chairs]. I think there's some repeats in the video itself. But it's a great honour and I'll take all the credit."
Like all memes though, it had a humble beginning. "It happened once in Ten Forward," Frakes recalled. "The backs of the chairs were barely there, so it was easy stepping ins, it was an easy Riker. Even if you weren't 6'4" you could still get into those chairs. It was easy, and it was fun, and nobody told me not to do it."
With a career spanning 40 years and work as an actor, a director, and a voiceover artist, Frakes preference offered the most quotable line of the presser. "Oh I like directing. There's no control like total control," he said.

Hey Alison, did you know that coal-powered plants generated 93% of our electricity in Kentucky last year?
Oh, and did you know that we're the 3rd-largest coal producing state in the country?
Then you definitely didn't know that coal contributes $10 billion to Kentucky's economy every year
...and that 89,350 Kentuckians are employed as a result of the coal industry.
Not to mention that the coal industry provides $5.5 billion in wages to Kentuckians.
And one last thing, Alison - our coal miners are from Kentucky, not Europe!

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — There was no way to ask the question without sounding slightly creepy, but the downhill skier Jan Hudec kindly answered it with cheerful Canadian candor. "Yes, I have an enormous butt," he said.
He also has, now that we are being frank about it, enormous thighs. How enormous are his butt and his thighs? It is so hard for him to find jeans that can contain their bulk, he said, that when he does, he hangs on to them for as long as he humanly can.
"When they rip, I drive them across town and my mother sews them for me," said Hudec, who, it is worth noting, is 32. Ripped jeans are apparently a common phenomenon for downhill skiers, much as it is routine for the Incredible Hulk to turn green and burst out of his clothes in fits of anger.
Different sports attract, and also shape, different physiques. Where swimmers have broad shoulders, figure skaters are strong yet willowy and curlers can get away with being kind of shlumpy, downhill skiers — and also speedskaters and hockey players — tend to have unusually well-built legs and rear ends, products of their perpetual crouch and also of lifetimes of leg presses and squats.
Watching the skiers come off the slopes after their runs here at the Winter Games is to see a parade of superconditioned lower bodies whose every powerful contour ripples graphically underneath what are essentially very expensive tights.
"Yes, we have derrières," said Chemmy Alcott, a British skier. "We've got booties. I've spent 28 years squatting in that squat position, and I'm really proud of it. It would be a lot easier for me to be a skinny normal person. I have to work really hard to get this muscle."
Skiers say that they need big legs and rears to get them down the slopes as quickly and forcefully as possible.
"This is where we get our power from," said the American skier Travis Ganong, who was fifth in the men's downhill Sunday. "When you're skiing three miles at 3,000 vertical feet over bumps and going off jumps, you need a solid platform. Otherwise — we call it stumping out — your lactic acid builds up too much and you have no energy left. You just collapse."
Some downhill racers say they perform better when they are on the heavy side. "When you have more weight, you have the control to go faster and to push yourself downhill," said Dominik Paris of Italy. "Also, in the flat, you have the wind coming to you, so when you weigh more, you have the power to push against it."
That argument certainly applies to traditional downhill courses. But the ones here are shaping up to be more complicated, skiers say, involving varied terrains, jumps and turns, and requiring agility and nimbleness as much as power.
Under its new conditioning coach, an Austrian taskmaster named Tony Beretzki, the American men's team has a souped-up training regimen that focuses on full-body conditioning, with two endurance workouts a day, instead of emphasizing discrete body parts.
Beretzki said size was less important than efficiency. His regimen focuses on what he calls intracoordination, where muscles work together, with an emphasis on balance, core work and strength.
"It's not a question of being so huge, but of having muscle mass," he said. Referring to the Austrian skier who won the men's downhill Sunday, he continued: "Matthias Mayer — if you look at him, he's not a typical downhill skier the way they used to be 10 years ago, but his endurance is very good, and he can hold his speed upright to the very end."
He said modern downhill courses presented new challenges to traditional skiers. "The courses like the kind we see at Sochi — they have become more and more bumpy and icy and turny, with a lot of jumps and directional moves, and therefore it's not only a question of being huge and heavy to hammer down fast," he said. "Of course, if you go down with a higher mass, you can accelerate faster, but that's not the only part of skiing downhill. You can be a heavyweight champion, but if your endurance isn't good enough, it's useless."
Martin Bendik of Slovakia, who has a particularly impressive pair of thighs, said the new courses brought new problems. "If you are heavier, it's better on the flat part because you go faster, and you need a lot of muscles to go 150 kilometers per hour," he said. "But on the steep part, if you are turning, it's of course better to be smaller and not so heavy."
That does not mean most downhill skiers are ready to throw away their old training techniques or neglect their lower halves. Paris said he did endless squats with huge weights. Marc Oliveras, from Andorra, said he did squats and leg presses. The downhill skier Georg Streitberger of Austria said he spent a lot of time on the bicycle and eats a lot of meat.
"It's not so important what you eat as what you drink," he said. Drink? "Train," he repeated, speaking slowly this time. "Training is important."
Hudec, who said he is typically reduced to rummaging through weird-size racks of jeans to find decent pairs, is hardly the only downhill skier who faces pants-buying challenges.
"It's a huge struggle for ski racers, finding a pair of jeans that fit right," Ganong said.
Either they fit around the thighs and hang off the waist, or they fit around the waist but cannot contain the skiers' massive legs.
"We tend to tear the crotches in our jeans quite a bit," the American racer Steven Nyman said. The introduction of leggings-style and elasticated jeans has been a godsend. "We have to buy stretchy jeans," he said.
"I wear sweatpants," said Oliveras, who is known, he said, as "Le Gros ..." before using a local slang word that, he said, translates into "the Big Thighs."
"I wear leggings," said Daniela Merighetti, an Italian skier.
"Every year, I buy the same pair of jeans in four different colors," Alcott said. "You have to find the ones you find, and buy a lot of them."
"I have one pair of blue jeans and that's it — I don't have another," said Edit Miklos of Hungary, who finished 16th in the women's super combined. "Normally, I have to shorten them because the ones that fit me are too long."
Work clothes are another matter. Some skiers say that while skintight pants would not necessarily have been their first choice as a job uniform — "I wouldn't say I'm into it, but it's our sport," Ganong said — they were proud of their conditioning.
"I got a big butt, but I'm not self-conscious," Nyman said. He discussed the point once with his teammate Erik Fisher, who is known on the men's tour for having especially imposing thighs, and they decided that it did not matter as long as their muscles did the job.
"Our bodies are our bodies," Nyman said.
Also, what's not to admire?
"My fiancé's a ski racer, too," said Alcott, referring to the Scottish skier Dougie Crawford. "When he sees me squatting 150 kilos" — about 330 pounds — "he's really proud. He's like, 'Yeah, look at my girl.' "
As for Bendik, the big-thighed Slovakian, he says he actually loves shopping for pants.
"I come to the shop and they tell me, 'Your muscles are very nice,' " he said, gazing modestly down at the snow. " 'You are like a model, and you can buy anything you want.' "

A South African geneticist has come up with images of what the Duke and Duchess's unborn baby could look like both as a toddler and a teenager.
Johannesburg-based Suretha Erasmus believes the baby could share many of the facial features of the late Princess Diana thanks to Prince William's strong resemblance to his mother.
However, with dark genes being dominant, she estimates there is a good chance the baby, due in June, may inherit Kate's dark hair.
The illustrations offer a representation based on genetic influences passed on by both parents.
Mother-to-be Kate kept a low profile at the start of her pregnancy, having been hospitalised in December with a form of acute morning sickness, called hyperemesis gravidarum.
However the 31-year-old, who recently returned from a family holiday in the Caribbean, was well enough to visit a South London rehab centre earlier this month.
Looking happy and well, the Duchess showed off the first signs of her compact baby bump in a grey belted MaxMara dress and confessed she was "nervous" about giving birth.

Coming off a busy weekend and into a busy work week, my workouts have been lacking this week. Here are the highlights:
Fri – Because we were traveling I worked out at home to a Tracey Anderson cardio workout off YouTube
Sat – I got up bright and early on Saturday morning to sneak off to the hotel's fitness center before everyone got up for breakfast. It wasn't the best gym, but I was able to squeak in the following circuits:
EMOM for 8 minutes:
– 6 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls
– 4 Burpees
Followed by 4 rounds of 800m run then 10 burpees
Wed – Pumps and Iron's 25 minute AMRAP workout. I subbed burpees for the inchworm pushups and finished 7.5 rounds. It was a great heart pumping workout.

The Inquiry into Eligibility for the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal began on 23 March 2013 with advertisements being placed in major newspapers nationally giving notice of the Inquiry and calling for submissions.
The Terms of Reference for the Inquiry can be read at the following link: Terms of Reference – RVCM Inquiry
The Tribunal received 76 submissions from individuals, the Department of Defence and several ex-service organisations.
The Tribunal handed its Report of the Inquiry, including three recommendations, to Government on 27 March 2014. The Report can be read at the following link: Report of the Inquiry into Eligibility for the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal
In a media release dated 10 November, the Government responded to the Tribunal's Inquiry recommendations advising it had accepted two of the three recommendations. Those recommendations, as accepted, are as follows:
Recommendation Two: For purposes of assessing eligibility of the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal only, the Department of Defence amend its interpretation of 'wounded-in-action' to include psychological injury under the following conditions:
i. the injury would need to be incurred as a result of enemy action;
ii. the injury would need to be on the member's records at the time; and
iii. the casualty would need to be evacuated from the operational theatre as a result of this particular injury.
Recommendation Three: The Department of Defence continue to assess applications for the RVCM using the present criteria with the recommended change to the interpretation of 'wounded-in-action', see Recommendation Two.
The media release goes on to state that: 'The Government has not accepted the Tribunal's recommendation that 'no action is to be taken by the government to change the criteria for the award of the RVCM'.
The Tribunal has been tasked with investigating the Australian Government's legal ability to amend the eligibility criteria for the RVCM, even though the former government of theRepublicofVietnamno longer exists.
Details of the Tribunal's further Inquiry, including the Terms of Reference, can be found here.

Ek Rista Aisa Bhi
Here is the previous part link:-
Part:- 5
After two days
It is the day of Swasan's marriage. In these two days all rituals and arrangements have finished on right time. These days are hectic for both families because this much short span period one marriage will do is not that much easy. But thankfully everything has happened perfectly and at right time. And now all are busy on marriage preparation.
To see Sanskar's condition the marriage is happening in MM. This marriage has kept private. Only family members, some relatives, friends and business associators are present for giving their blessings to be this newly wedded couple. But Maheswaries haven't compromised anything on Sanskar wedding because it is the marriage of their dearest son. How can they neglect it . So now everyone have engaged on their work how will the marriage look be so perfect. For this they have decorated full MM in Sanskar's favourite flowers . Today MM is looking like a bride itself.
Where Maheswaries are happy for Sanskar their Gododia's have broken down for Swara.
In Sanskar room
Laksh is busy to get ready Sanskar on his marriage sherwani where he is playing with his favourite toy chota bheem. ( oye kitna innocent hai banda shadi ke din bhi chota bheem se khel raha hai. He is sooo cuteeee ). Now he is all ready for his marriage. He is looking dashing hot on his marriage clothes. The blend of golden and maroon colour sherwani is giving extra charm on his personality. He is looking hot and at this time cute also. To see his cute smile and childish behaviour anyone will adore him .
At this time Sujata entered inside the room. To see her son as a bridegroom she is feeling happy inside her heart. Today her dream has fulfilled to see him like this. How from far her eyes were longing to see her son as a bridegroom no one can't imagine also? She was just waiting for this day. Now she is happy because today her son is entering a new phase of his life. Sujata took some kajol from her eyes and spotted it behind his ears.
She sat him gently beside her on his bed and caressing his hairs gently. Where she was explaining him now onwards how he will behave with Swara and how she is going to be became part of his life.
Sujata : ( said softly ) Sanskar
Sanskar: ( now also busy playing with his toys ) Hmm
Sujata: You know today is a big day for you and your dost Shona. Today you both will bind on a pious relationship. Today you will marry with her.
Sanskar:( said excitedly looking Sujata) today I will marry to Shona. So now she will stay with me in my room. I have seen some movies after marriage the girl stays in boy's room. Tell na mom now Shona will always stay with me .
Sujata: ( Nodded her head as a yes ) yes beta from today she will stay with you.
Sanskar:( clapping his hands) urrey my dost will stay with me. Now I won't feel bore. She will play with me , talk with me and go to park , market with me . We will roam the city together .
Sujata: Yes beta, you will do . But listen me first.( cupping his face) From today she is not your friend only . Because from today you are going to bind on another relation with her. And this relation call husband wife's relation. Today you will give your name to her . ( sanskar was nodding his head like he has understood everything) . My Sanskar is a good boy na. ( where Sanskar nodded his head vigorously ) So you will treat with her as a gentleman. Won't irritate her and mostly you will behave nicely with her. Ok ( Sanskar just nodded his head as he has got her mom's point)
In Swara's room
All are seem looking happy for this marriage . But for one person her life has stopped at this time . She is none other than our Swara. She is aimlessly looking her own reflection on the mirror . She is looking beautiful in her red lehenga where silver stones and white pearls have worked on it. Her golden necklace, jhumkas , nosepin and maangtika are enhancing her beauty more. Her waist chain which she has wore on her flat slim cylindrical white cremy waist is increasing her beauty more. Everything is looking perfect on her look. But is it true everything is looking perfect? No her smile is missing on her face . For which she is not looking a alive . Now she is looking like a lifeless body. Who has became ready for others not for her.
Now she is glancing herself on the mirror and thinking where did she do the mistake? For which mistake she got this big punishment. Like every girl she had also dreamt on her marriage. Like other girls she doesn't believe in fairytale . Because she is a realistic person who believes on real. But that doesn't mean she thoughts anything like this for her life . However her life has ended like this. In these two days she has tried many times to convince her parents to stop this marriage. But everytime she has failed. She was never thought her own parents, whom she believes her strength and more from this world will take a decision for her life like this.
Now she is looking her hands where has placed henna . And the colour of henna has turned into blackish brown colour and the " S " letter is enhancing from middle on her palm whom she is hating most now . To see her henna colour she is getting flashback on her maa's word where she said " SHONA , AGAR TUMAHARI SHADI KE DIN MEHENDI KA RANG GEHRA AYAGA TO JAAN LENA TUMAHARA PATI TUMSE UTNA JYADA PYAR KAREGA " . Those her maa's word is ringing in her mind . When she heard it a small flush has been spread on her cheek . But now she hates it the most.
Swara's chain of thoughts broke by a door open sound where she found Ragini ,her sister has stood near the door in a crying face. She immediately rushed towards Swara and hugged her from her backside. Now Swara is looking Ragini through mirror.
Ragini was crying to just holding her sister. Because in these two days she has seen a broken Swara. Once who has never learned to be get tired today she has lost in front of her life . She can't see her strong Swara like a looser. She will do something for her sister. If she won't do anything today then she can never meet her eyes with herself in her whole life . How can she forgive herself to see her lovely sister pushing in a darkness by her parents. She knows , she isn't strong like her sister but today she will be strong for her sister. She stops this marriage by hook or by crook.
( so last part the person is Ragini who was seeing Swara outside from the room)
( arsha dear this time you are wrong ? and gayatri you have guessed right dear)
Ragini: Shona, why you agree for this marriage. You are not belonging this life Shona. Specially you, who perfect every sense in her life.
Swara: What can I do di ? Where my own parents aren't wanting to listen anything? Then what will I do? Today I am feeling helpless.
Ragini: ( in a surprise voice) who are you ? You are not my Shona?
To listen her questions Swara immediately parted her from hug and turned to face her.
Swara:( in a choking voice) I am your Shona, di. How can you tell me you don't know me?
Ragini:( said angrily) because my Shona hasn't learned to give up from any conditions . But you are doing this . Then how will I believe, you are my that Shona. ( said softly ) Shona don't think others. This is your life. Just be think yourself .
Shona:( said irritately ) then what will I do di? Tell me what will I do?
Ragini : ( said in a cool voice) run away from this marriage
Swara is looking surprisingly to her di . In her dream also she can never think her di will give this advice.
Swara: But di run away is not a solution.
Ragini: I know . But now it is only the solution.
Swara: How can I run away from my marriage. Maa an…
Ragini:( interpreted in middle) it is not a marriage Shona. Stop calling it is a marriage. It is only a suicide. I know you think about maa, papa and society. But you don't bother about them. Believe your di , she will handle everything here. You just run away from here.
Swara: But how will I ?
Ragini hold her hand and said: Let's go
Both the sisters came downwards where everyone busy on marriage preparation.
Ragini went to near Sumi to take her permission to go outside. First Sumi denied but after sometime she agreed .
Ragini: Maa, today Swara's marriage. So I want to take her temple . As you remembered na maa, how everytime we are going to temple to take blessings from god on Shona's every succes . So it is a big day for Swara . you don't feel today also she must go to temple to taking blessings before entry in her martial life
Sumi: I know beta. I will also happy if you would go there. But after one hour marriage will be started. So now how will I allow you to go outside?
Ragini: Don't worry maa, we will return back before marriage. So now we will have go
Sumi in a heavy heart gave permission to them. After got the permission Ragini rushed towards exist door holding Swara's hand where Swara was only watching her maa in her teary eyes.
At temple
Ragini: Go Swara. Go from here. I can only do this for you. Now you will go alone from here. ( took out some money from her saree which she hidden it in her saree fleet). Now I have only this much money beside me. You take it. After some days when the matter will cool down I will inform you . That time you will come back. Now go from here ( little pushed her from her)
Swara turned to leave where her eyes are red due to crying continuously. When she was going to downstairs she heard her di called from her back
Ragini: Swara
Swara turned her face to look her sister where Ragini rushed towards her and taking her a bone crushing hug
Ragini: I will miss you Swara
Swara:( hugging her back) I will also miss you di. And I love you
Ragini: ( parted form hug and cupping her face) I love you too and kissing her forehead. Now you go from here . Before anyone know about you ,you just go .
Swara nodded her head and slightly picked up her red lehnga and started to run.( I want to see her once in this position where she picks up her lehenga and run )
After 1 hour
In MM
Sumi moved one corner to another corner tensely . And her eyes are scanning the entrance. At that time Ragini entered in MM. Sumi immediately rushed towards her and searching Swara who is missing now.
Sumi:( tensely) where is Swara? She went with you na. So where is she now? Tell me. Why you are silent?
Ragini: She has ran away from her marriage
Sumi: ( surprisingly )What? What did you say? No it can be happened . My Shona can't do anything like this
Ragini:( said angrily) but you can do with her like this. I am happy for my sister. She has taken a good decision for her life. I am happy she has ran away from this so called marriage
Sumi: Ragini , how are yo….
Interpreted by a voice which coming from behind: What , Swara has ran away from this marriage
After half an hour
Outside all guests are gossiping with each other and guessing what will be happened for which this marriage is happening so late.
And inside MM everyone are present in hall and thinking what will they do now? Where Sumi and Sekher has bowed down their heads and hearing harsh words from Sujata. Where all the time AP was trying to control her but she is failing everytime. Today how can she control Sujata , where she has known that what is Sanskar matter for her?Where all are tensed there one person without any tension playing with his toys. He is none other our Sanskar who doesn't understand anything why his family members are looking so much tensed. And why her mom was shouting on Shona's parents?
Sujata: Wow Sekher ji for you and your family now we will tolerate this much humiliations. If Swara wasn't agreed for this marriage then why did you approve this marriage. We weren't forced you for this marriage then why did you do this drama ( without Laksh , Sekher and Sumi no one have known about this deal)
Sekher folding her both hands and going to say sorry when he heard a voice : Maa papa
Everyone turned their faces towards the voice where they got to see the most unexpected person at the entrance .
Only one name come from everyone's mouth: SWARA
Precap: Something interesting is going to happen
So now tell me , how is the chapter. I am waiting for your comments. So give it quickly. So I will give you the most await part of this SS. So till then good by and take care.

Current moves by Northern Ireland's large abattoirs to push prices down and flush out the short supply of abattoir ready cattle both here and in GB should be resisted, Sean McAuley, a member of the FFA steering committee, has claimed.
Mr McAuley added: "Furthermore, movement penalties should be resisted, challenged and reclaimed with firmness. Beef farmers must remember that five farm organisations representing the vast majority of Northern Ireland livestock farmers completely opposed movement penalties being introduced last year and this stance has not changed.
"Therefore, beef farmers are quite within their rights to challenge these penalties where they have been levied.
"With new export markets opening up there is no excuse for this kind of behaviour by Northern Ireland's large abattoirs other than profiteering," he added.
Meanwhile, FFA have requested a meeting with the DARD Minister to discuss concerns around the issue of young farmers who will not qualify for the under 40 top-up scheme in the current new CAP due to already farming 50/50 or in their own right for five years or more.
According to William Taylor, FFA UK NI co-ordinator, the southern Irish government has now found a way to accommodate these young farmers within the framework of the EU directive therefore, there is no reason why this can't be done here.
However, he said it will take the minister to intervene in what Northern Ireland's top civil servants have so far failed to address.

Theme: On This Day!
I'm looking for collages based around people or events on any day from history in this week
May 3rd to May 9th.
It can be birthdays, anniversaries, discoveries or anything else - even one of your own.
I've added one reference website here but there's others out there.
all the best - Ron
4 comments:
Excellent wide ranging theme Ron. Look forward to doing at least one for this - off to Llandudno for a long weekend so hopefully pick up some welsh flavoured collage material!ReplyDeleteReplies
Really like that banner Michael. Did you do it?Delete
Oh my goodness this is a GREAT theme. I actually, at random, typed in May 9 in a GOOGLE search and up came a FANTASTIC website called www.onthisday.com (which I am sure you are all aware of?) and I subscribed to a daily email from it. So many interesting and historic events took place on May 9th alone! I think I have settled on 2 to collage just from this date. My beloved dog, Harvey, passed away on May 5th, two years ago and I think the first post for this theme will be a collage I made in his honor, so one from the archives!ReplyDelete
It's a great theme indeed, especially since it's the week including Cinco de Mayo, a date well known to Texans like me!ReplyDelete

A.I. & algorithms
We are on the brink of a new, revolutionary stage of the information age: the one of algorithms and artificial intelligence (A.I.).
We know all too well how time consuming logistical planning can be. Spending large parts of your day-to-day on menial tasks, and very little time making decisions or taking actions which have a real impact on achieving your goals.
A.I. & cloud
Current apps on the market need to be instructed on how to assist and support you. And of course, this doesn't reduce how much time you spend on menial day-to-day tasks or logistical planning.
Thanks to its proprietary algorithms, cloud infrastructure and use of artificial intelligence, Mapadore takes a different approach and instructs you. Or better yet, makes recommendations on the most efficient and productive actions to take! Minimizing the low value, time consuming tasks and allowing you to focus on what makes you most profitable.

|Scent Bottle
With the Cipher of Queen Charlotte
Crystal, Silver Gilt, Colored Paste, Enamel
Crown Copyright
The Royal Collection
Image Courtesy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
This scent bottle was made in England specifically for the Queen and was meant to hold one of the fragrances which the Nabob had gifted to her. Its design is inspired by the jewels that the Nabob had sent to Queen Charlotte. The crystal bottle is adorned with paste "rubies," "diamonds" and "emeralds." The base of the bottle is engraved with Queen Charlotte's crowned cipher and the peculiar motto, "Patent Paratout." This is unusual since those words usually only appear on a particular type of umbrellas made in the early 1800's.
By all accounts, Queen Charlotte favored this bottle and used it often. After her death, it was included in a collection of the Queen's things that were saved. Somehow, in 1934, it was acquired by Mary of Teck. Queen Mary had a way of collecting all manner of interesting objects. The exact method she used to return this little masterpiece to the Royal Collection is unknown.
