Hello everyone, it's Mancat Monday and I'm here to tell you I'm putting my paw down. Well, it's actually out, but it's a little bit down too. Let's not confuse it with down and out because that's certainly not the case. I did have a pretty full case of Naptus Interruptus though, a darn serious one at that.
You see, there I was minding my own business, all sacked out on the big bed, when it happened. I got rousted from my slumber because some peep decided it was time to change the bed. Hey, there's really no need to change the bed, I like it just like it is. But, once I was rousted, the big bed got stripped down naked and was forced into a new outfit.
So, I'm parked on the ottoman waiting for the big bed to give me a shout when it's ready for me once again. I know, I have a couple of nice new beds of my own, but I'm really in the mood for a big bed snooze. I think it's going to be one of those snoozy weeks in our neck of the woods and I'll be darn proud to lead the way.
How's your week look? I hope it's a fantastic one!!! See y'all soon and Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
haha sure hate when that happens. But then we try and help change it sometimes, makes the process take longer.
Yeah… That kind of thing happens here too. Unforgivable, really!
We hate it when the bed gets changed and we all have to move. But believe me we jump back up very quickly. Hope all of you have a really good Monday.
WHAT?!?!? How dare they DISTURB you nap….and after you've just got the bed smelling just right they go and ruin all your hard work by changing the sheets???? Will peeps never learn????
I had to shut myself in the bedroom for changing the bed otherwise I ended up with one lump under the sheet and one on top.
Our cats love having the bed changed because they like to play in the sheets when Mom tries to get them on the bed.
Carry keeps leaving her clothes in my spot on the bed. So I sleep on them and then she complains that her clothes are covered in hair. It's not like I don't sleep there all day everyday. It's not my fault she leaves clothes there!
Once again a purrfect titled. Some peep surely momentarily lost all sense of priorities when the rousted you.
Brian, old buddy, I dunno about how the week looks right now. I'll have a better idea when Monday's behind me and gone!!
I do believe that our Moms and Dads should plan things like bed-changing, housecleaning, etc. around OUR nap schedules…..of course that would only give them about 15 minutes a day to do everything since we're asleep the rest of the time!!! (haha).
We always try to help Mom with the bed changing… lot more fun that way. Actually I thought Mom had invented a new game called dash under the covers and grab a hand!
I'm lucky in that my mom will wait until I get off the big bed to change it or make it. So sorry you had to be disturbed, Brother Brian.
Humans can be so thoughtless when we are trying to get our naps in.
Peeps can be ever so inconsiderate. Really they can. Haven't they learned that cats are in charge? You need to remind them.
dood…..we dunno, that ree clinerz chair bee hind ewe lookz my tee awesum…ya shuld givez it a try !
Whoa! How rude. My peeps wait till I'm up to change the bed even if they have to change it in the middle of the night. I have them trained. I also bite.
Handsome Brian, I am so impressed that you didn't 'help' make up that bed, and you politely sat on the ottoman waiting until it was made. Do you have a training program I can purchase to teach the Catscue cats how to do that? MOL!
They really don't need to change bed when you are using it. But the new sheets must feel very nice 🙂 I hope you all enjoy your snoozy week!
Brian, your peeps obviously don't know who is in charge around there!
I'm surprised the bed didn't wait until you weren't using it to get changed. But fresh sheets are always fun. Enjoy your snoozy week.
Oh I know…..but LILY seems to make anything and everything A BED. She seems to get comfy on each and every one also. Where the dogs wiggle around on one bed, like I said, Lily trys them all, from mine, the couch, the sink, the floor, the cat tree…..shall I go on cause as a cat I know you know what I am getting at!!
Sometimes you just have to sleep in the big bed….I always take my after breakfast nap in the big bed and Mama always picks the same time to "make the bed"..sheesh!
We don't get to sleep on the big bed upstairs, but we understand your dilemma – the same thing happens here when the Momster decides to wash all our blankets and Wash 'n Zip beds – sheesh, how we hate waiting.
The humans can be SO rude and inconsiderate sometimes!!!
I hates it when dat happens buts then I always snuggle up on da comforter while da sheets are washing…MOL 😉 It are a bit rainy here today and tomorrow so we will be doing lots of snoozing!
That bed is always ready for all of us.
Why do people always want to change the bed? It is perfect the way it is.
Boodie got the rousting schtick this weekend too.
There's nothing like a real bed, Brian!
Yep, those bed changes just disrupt everything. Hope you get back to napping soon!
There time when one needs to draw a line or put down there foot, in your case a paw.
I only hang out in the sleepy spot when mum is actually in it. Then I like to cuddle and sleep with mum.
Big beds are the best, aren't they?
Sometimes it can be annoying when you are all comfortable to be disturbed, but at least now you have some fresh clean sheets now to relax on. Thanks for the share. have a great day.
Our week will be very different from the usual sort of week. Ron has the first of his cataract surgeries tomorrow (the second one next week).

RCH150 Anniversary Dinner: celebrating 150 years of care
May 27, 2022 in Latest news
On Thursday 26 May, The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) Foundation hosted the RCH150 Anniversary Dinner in recognition of this major milestone.
In 1870, Doctors William Smith and John Singleton had a vision "to help sick and injured children at no cost to families". With the support of a volunteer ladies committee, they brought their vision to life. The Melbourne Free Hospital for Sick Children opened its doors on 9 September 1870 with just six beds. From these humble beginnings, the RCH has innovated and grown over the past 150 years to be one of the leading children's hospitals in the world.
Over 500 guests came together at the Melbourne Town Hall to celebrate the rich history of the hospital and fundraise for its future.
We were honoured to have a number of wonderful guest speakers at the dinner, including Her Excellency the Honourable Linda Dessau AC, Governor of Victoria; the Honourable Steve Dimopoulos MP, the State Member for Oakleigh, Minister for Creative Industries, Tourism, Sport and Major Events; Aunty Joy Murphy AO, Senior Wurundjeri Elder; Robyn Beddison OAM and Rupert McCall OAM.
We're especially grateful to Kevin Lee and his son Tyler, as well as Akeira Somphanpanya for sharing their RCH stories with us, and for Akeira's unforgettable performance with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir. Additionally, we were inspired by Bernadette McDonald, Chief Executive Officer, the RCH, who shared the exciting vision for the future of the hospital.
We were absolutely blown away by your support on the evening, and we'd like to acknowledge the Gandel Foundation, the Hugh D. T. Williamson Foundation, Shelley Kline, Perry Sambor and the Live Life Foundation, the Loti and Victor Smorgon Family Foundation, Donald Ratcliffe and Phyllis Macleod Trust, as well as Phil and Susan Lewis and Kmart for their incredible pledges, and to everyone else who gave so generously on the evening.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are honoured to announce that $5,771,034 was raised at the RCH150 Anniversary Dinner.
These funds will make a remarkable difference right across the RCH, allowing clinicians to pioneer new initiatives in patient care, discover new treatments and cures for childhood illness and disease, and provide the latest equipment and technological advancements for our children. It will also help the hospital attract the world's brightest medical minds, and provide ongoing education and training to them.
This magnificent evening would not have been possible without the wonderful RCH150 Anniversary Dinner Committee, led by co-chairs Robyn Beddison OAM and Peter Yates AM.
Finally, we would also like to acknowledge and thank our generous supporters, including Visionary Sponsors, The Beddison Foundation, Jayco, Schiavello Group and Downer, as well as Leadership Sponsors, Five Squared Property Group, Treasury Wines and Peter Jones Special Events. A special thanks also to our event MC Luke Darcy, and Associate Professor Sebastian King for leading the pledge sections.
Great Shave for Riley
Congratulations Sue Hunt AM

Anchorwoman Charged With Striking NYC Cop Fired
PHILADELPHIA – A TV station fired a local anchorwoman who has been off the air since she was charged with striking a New York City police officer, only the latest dust-up for the telegenic brunette.
Alycia Lane "has been released from her contract effective immediately," KYW-TV said in a statement Monday, the day she had been due back on air.
Lane is accused of scuffling with a plainclothes female officer during a traffic dispute last month. A police complaint also said she used a sexual slur. Lane has denied the allegations.
The 35-year-old newscaster previously found herself the target of critical news coverage, and snickers, after it was reported she had e-mailed bikini shots of herself to a married ESPN sports anchor and she tearfully discussed her divorce on the "Dr. Phil" show.
KYW, a CBS affiliate, had Lane start a previously scheduled vacation a week early and pulled her from station promotions during her absence.
"After assessing the overall impact of a series of incidents resulting from judgments she has made, we have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories," station president and general manager Michael Colleran said in the statement.
Lane, who joined the station in 2003, reportedly earned $700,000 a year as co-anchor of the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts.
One of her attorneys, Paul Rosen, accused KYW of violating her contract, which he said had an unspecified number of years remaining. Lane has not been convicted of any crime, he noted.
"The termination is unfair because Alycia has never had an opportunity to defend against this charge, and tell her side of the story publicly," Rosen said in a statement. "Obviously, on the advice of counsel, Alycia cannot talk about these matters because of the matter that is pending in New York."
Lane has made headlines since arriving from Miami with the nickname "The Latina Bombshell." A Long Island native, she is of Puerto Rican heritage and has been a staple of gossip pages in Philadelphia after two failed marriages.
The bikini photos she e-mailed to NFL Network sportscaster Rich Eisen in May were intercepted by his wife, who fired back a tart response, congratulating Lane for her fit physique. An embarrassed Lane called Eisen a longtime platonic friend.
Lane has been married to a minor league baseball player and later to a North Carolina businessman. Recent reports link her romantically with Chris Booker, a local radio DJ who was with her when she was arrested in New York.
Lane and Booker were out with another couple when Lane thrust a camera in the face of a male officer who was trying to get an intoxicated man to return to his taxi, according to the police affidavit and published reports.
When a female officer tried to pull the camera away, Lane allegedly identified herself as a reporter in a profanity-laced tirade in which she used the sexual slur.
Lane further raised eyebrows by calling Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell the next day to discuss the case.
David Smith, Lane's criminal attorney, reiterated Monday that he expects Lane to be exonerated. She has pleaded not guilty and is next due in court April 3.
"We still maintain that at the end of the criminal case, she'll be vindicated," Smith said.
The station wished her well.
"We wish to make clear that we are not prejudging the outcome of the criminal case against Alycia that is pending in New York," Colleran said in the statement. "We understand that Alycia expects to be fully vindicated in that proceeding. We hope that is the case and we wish her the best in all her future endeavors."


Susan Bender, 56, fosters a passion for biological sciences among her students. "It's a wonderful bunch of students that just need someone to tell them it's OK to try and not be successful the first time, but to keep trying," she says.
Bender grew up near Portland, Ore., and moved to Mississippi in 1977. She attended Jackson State University, where she originally pursued pre-medical studies. However, about three quarters of the way through her degree, Bender realized she wanted to teach science.
"It's not just a calling," Bender says. "You have to have a passion to be able to instill a confidence in the students for them to be academically successful."
Bender graduated from JSU in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in biology education, and started teaching that year at Northwest Rankin High School. In 1999, she completed a master's in biology education from Mississippi College. She currently teaches science classes at Jim Hill High School, where she has worked the last 27 years.
In 2000, Bender founded a research-focused science program at Jim Hill High School called Students Oriented Academic Research, or SOAR. Students are selected based on interest and willingness to carry out extensive research projects in a specific scientific field.
Bender also requires each of her students, whether involved with the program or not, to complete science-fair projects. At the Jackson State University Region II Science Fair, Jim Hill has won the trophy for most awards among 11th- and 12th-grade projects in 12 out of the last 13 years.
In spring 2018, the 10th-graders in her biomedical research class took part in a health fair for one of University of Mississippi Medical Center's outreach programs, Community Health Advocates. The students learned about screening for blood pressure, blood glucose monitoring, height and weight management, how to correctly read prescriptions and teaching people to read prescriptions (also called general health literacy).
Bender believes the community-focused culture of Mississippi has contributed to the success of SOAR and her other scientific education efforts.
"So many people in Mississippi know what it's like to be without that when you can help someone else be successful, when you can show other people compassion so that you can rise above your circumstances, that's an accepted responsibility of that populace," Bender says.

Originalism, false dichotomies, and determinateness
February 11, 2014 Eric Posner
Will accuses me of setting up a false dichotomy by focusing on two extreme versions of originalism–originalism that requires judges to ignore precedent and originalism that licenses living constitutionalism. His response:
Originalism sometimes produces living constitutionalism, depending on how abstract a provision is, how clearly its meaning is known, and how much that meaning was intended to evolve. Originalism sometimes permits precedent, depending on how clearly a precedent can be shown to conflict with original meaning, certain forms of reliance, etc. When originalism permits precedent, the original meaning sometimes "plays a role" by helping judges figure out whether the precedent should be extended or distinguished in future cases. In each of these cases, the originalist answer can only be figured out by actually doing the work.
Well, okay, but this pretty much eliminates one of the major defenses of originalism–advanced forcefully by Scalia among others–which is that it dictates determinate case outcomes. This is crucial for Scalia because he fears that otherwise judges will allow their ideological preferences to influence interpretive outcomes.
It is ironic that in the next paragraph Will argues precisely that what is distinctive about originalism is that the interpreter doesn't always get what he wants. But if the decision to overturn precedent on originalist groups relies on judgment–a weighting of competing factors that are often elusive and difficult to articulate–then the kind of cognitive dissonance reduction that Scalia worries about will creep back in. We saw this with the Printz case. Scalia might have been right to dismiss originalist arguments because of the strength of precedent, but he certainly did not provide much of a defense. I suspect that this was because he did not want to acknowledge that this is what he was doing. (N.B.: Scalia's statement in Originalism: The Lesser Evil that he would never hold that flogging is a constitutional punishment, regardless of the original understanding of the eighth amendment, is at variance with this idea that the interpreter doesn't always get what he wants, isn't it? [It was subsequently pointed out to me that Scalia revoked his earlier statement about flogging. Maybe that is tied to his statement in the same interview that he doesn't care what his intellectual legacy is.])
Finally, Will says that his theory of originalism offers "safety valves," including amendment and illegality. I hope to learn more about why one should think that the Article V procedure offers an acceptable safety valve. What are the criteria for determining whether a safety value is acceptable or not? His endorsement of "illegality"–presumably the idea that the justices or other political actors should simply disregard the original understanding when it produces unacceptable outcomes–suggests that Will doesn't think that Article V is in fact adequate on its own. The illegality safety value raises anew the question of determinacy: how, except by falling back on discretionary and contestable judgments about moral and political values, can one justify ignoring the original understanding? How can originalism ever rule anything out if illegality remains a morally valid option for interpreters and other agents?
Previous PostOriginalism means not always getting what you wantNext PostA statute to solve the debt-ceiling impasses once and for all?

The Auryn Quartet was founded in 1981 and is now recognized as one of the major ensembles of their kind. For years they have recorded for TACET, and their catalog includes all of the Beethoven and Haydn quartets and numerous other works, many of which reuire a fifth artist. On this new release, that artist is violist Nobuko Imai for these two Mozart quintets. Elegant performances, and the performer's beautiful sounds have been wonderfuly captured by the TACET engineers. An accompanying diagram shows that the first violin is front left, the first viola front right, second viola front center, second violin left rear, and cello right rear. Yo9u must hear this in surround sound—the effet is uncommonoly natural and pleasing. Thank youk, again, TACET!
A few months ago, this site praised Noriko Ogawa's first disk of piano music of Eric Satie (REVIEW). Now we have the second release in this series, again played on an 1890 Érard Grand Piano. There are 50 tracks of miniatures, all sensitively played and beautifully reforded. Of course this series has keen competition from the budget-priced Decca Jean-Yves Thibaudet aset of Satie's complete piano music (REVIEW).
Swiss-born Chrisrtian Poltéra is one of the busiest cellists of our time. His schedule is filled with recitals and solo appearances, and he has made numerous recordings. He has recorded most of the standard cello concertos as well as seldom-heard works by Ligeti, Lutoslawski, Hindemith, Dutilleux, Schoeck, Honegger, Barber, , Martin and Toch. Now we have this fine release of Shostakovich and Martinu Each composer wrote two concertos for the instrument, and the first is best-known. The Shostakovich was written in 1966 for Rostropovich, and is less flamboyant than the first. The finale has a mysterious soft conclusion punctuated by gentle percussion. This is a fascinating work that deserves more attention. The Martinu is highly melodic but it is easy to understand why is it is seldom performed. Both concertos are played with exemplary tone quality and virtuosity. Recordings were made February 2016 in Jesus-Christus-Kirke in Berlin. Audio is excellent. A fine release!

Disease Watchlist
View All Diseases
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a brain disorder caused by prions, proteins that induce abnormal folding of normal brain proteins. About 85 percent of CJD cases occur sporadically and have unknown origins. The remaining cases are either familial (caused by inherited gene mutations) or iatrogenic (caused by contaminated instruments used during medical treatments or by transplants from infected organ donors). Most CJD cases are seen in people over the age of 50. Like most prion diseases, degeneration occurs rapidly after the onset of the disease and death usually occurs within 1 year. A variant of CJD (vCJD) affects people at a younger age, with the median age of death being 28 years. The most likely cause of vCJD is exposure, probably through contaminated food, to bovine spongiform encephalopathy—a disease of cattle commonly called "mad cow disease."
CJD patients undergo rapid personality changes and dementia. Neurological signs, such as unsteadiness and involuntary movement, appear early on. Symptoms vary slightly in vCJD, which is characterized by depression and occasional psychosis. Neurological symptoms do not develop until later in the disease progression. Both variations of the disease are accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, muscle stiffness, sleepiness, speech impairment, confusion, and lack of coordination.
Currently there is no cure for CJD. Certain medications, such as interleukins, can slow the disease's progression. As with other cases of dementia, counseling and behavior modification may help patients control dangerous or inappropriate behaviors.
There is no known way to prevent sporadic or familial CJD. Hospitals have specific procedures and regulations regarding transfusions and equipment usage in order to prevent iatrogenic CJD. Strict regulations on food supply, including regulation of animal feed and good surveillance systems for tracking cattle health, can prevent the spread of vCJD.

I LOVE images of beautiful people and to me, every person is beautiful!
I BELIEVE everyone deserves a great photo of themselves and their loved ones. My desire is to capture memories that last a lifetime, and are affordable enough to update regularly.
I've been annoying my family and friends with constant photo taking for as long as I can remember. However, whilst that was my passion, my 'real job' was in the corporate world for 20 years. Then something unthinkable happened. I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. I spent more than a year in treatment and recovery, but thankfully I'm now in remission. What I didn't know then was that this horrible disease would become the catalyst for me to turn my love of capturing people's beauty into a real business. Creating Melia Photography has allowed me do what is important to me – showing people just how gorgeous they really are!
I'm an Aussie who is very happily calling Singapore home, which could explain why I've lived here for 10 years. I've only recently realised my adoration of Sesame Street characters (especially Big Bird) and am completely addicted to dark chocolate. Oh, and I can't walk past a Frangipani flower without picking it up to take home.

DOJ Says No To Special Master In Trump Investigation Over 'National Security' Concerns
The president's attorneys got a grand jury subpoena earlier this summer, and the Biden DOJ is now suggesting that there may have been an attempt to conceal sensitive documents.
Prosecutors said in the new document that DOJ "developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed" and that "that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation," from a storage locker in Mar-A-Lago.
In contrast to these recent claims, the former president Trump and his legal team have consistently stated that they have complied with all FBI and DOJ requests regarding the documents they have in their possession and that they are willing to return any that the government feels should be kept in the National Archives.
Trump has said that while some of the documents would eventually end up in his presidential library, he may temporarily hand them over.
A picture of the evidence taken during the August 8 raid on Trump's Florida office, including files designated secret and top secret, was provided by prosecutor Jay Bratt.
Trump has claimed that although the records had previously been classified, he had personally declassified them before leaving the White House.
According to Bratt, not all classified materials were found during a previous search carried out by Trump's attorneys in June in response to a grand jury.
The FBI agents "uncovered multiple sources of evidence indicating that the response to the the May 11 grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the premises, notwithstanding the sworn certification made to the government on June 3," Bratt said.
"In particular, the government developed evidence that a search limited to the storage room would not have uncovered all the classified documents at the premises."
According to the complaint, "The FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the 'diligent search' that the former president's counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform."
The FBI on the scene asked that the CCTV surveillance cameras be turned off during the search of the Trump residence in Florida and forbade any members of the Trump family or their attorneys from watching the operation.
The film of the search that was captured by cameras but was not turned off by the Trumps is in their hands. The video has not yet been made public.
Why a Trump adviser or attorney was not permitted to be present during the search remains a mystery.
The raid's material, according to the DOJ,"calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter."
Bratt questioned the president's lawyers' assertions that their client's documents may be protected from the Biden administration's assertion of executive privilege.
The executive privilege exemption and attorney-client privilege have also been cited by Trump's attorneys in relation to some of the documents.
Trump and his counsel asked the court for clarification regarding the documents because of the stark discrepancy in the statements made by either side.
In an effort to bring objectivity to the proceedings, former President Trump formally requested earlier this week that a "special master" be appointed to lead the assessment of the records.
A mere 4 days ago, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, stated that she is inclined to grant Donald Trump's request to bring in an outsider to oversee the review of the more than two boxes of materials the FBI seized.
She made this statement in writing in a two-page order giving "notice of [her] preliminary intent to appoint a special master in this case" less than a day after Trump's attorneys made the request. CONTINUE READING…

Turbo (Issac Baptiste) Got to Dance 2011 interview
11 years ago Storm
Interview with Turbo (Issac Baptiste) who may well be one of the UK's most versatile male street dancers and is currently on Got to Dance on Sky One.
Turbo, real name Issac Baptiste, may well be one of the UK's most versatile male street dancers. When he auditioned for Got to Dance on Sky One some dancers might have been sceptical – being a hip hop dancer on TV can draw criticism from the community that you're watering down your art in place of audience pleasing tricks.
But Turbo killed it with both performance and technicality in his audition, especially because he has numerous hip hop titles to his name that even dance purists cant dispute: Stylefest 2010 Champion (after entering in house, krumping and new style categories!) House Dance Champion, numerous Throwdown Champion titles, an honorary Boy Blue Entertainment dancer and a list of commercial appearances that stretches back before TooMuchFlavour existed.
Unlike some competitors on Got to Dance, Turbo isn't playing up to the camera – what you see on your screen really is Turbo.
We caught up with Turbo after his class in East London for a quick interview about his time on Got to Dance.
Has it sunk in that you've got through to the final?
It hasn't sunk in that I'm through to the live finals – I was on cloud nine, now I've floated down to cloud four!
You got a red star from Adam Garcia, how do you feel about that?
To be honest, I'm always ready for any piece of criticism I'm about to get, whether it's negative or positive.
Video: Turbo (Issac Baptiste) Got to Dance 2011 semi final performance
The audience on Twitter were showing mad love for you, what have you got to say to your twitter fans?
To all of those that have been voting and showing their support on Twitter, Myspace, Facebook all of those social network sites THANKYOU so much! Without your votes I can't fulfil what I do and it's making want to perform even more and even better for you guys.
We know that already people have been expressing interest in you for sponsorship deals, is that something you're interested in?
If there are any promo deals out there then I'm definitely interested. Not on an ego trip or in a big-headed way because that's just not me at all, but if I think it's something that fits in with me and who I am then of course I'm open to negotiations!
There's been some debate about whether or not there should be a separate junior category as it's unfair to pit children against adults. Do you have an opinion on that?
On the positive side of it, those who are younger, below the age of 16 competing against those over 16 shows they have strong determination and strong passion no matter what age, size, colour, shape, which means they're willing to go up there on the stage and say "I don't care, if you can do it I can do it" which is great. On the negative side, not me being negative but with regard to the public and those who believe that there should be a category system in it, I can understand that fully, as I understand it can make it hard to vote but that would be a decision for the producers of the show.
The Live Final is on the 27 February, which gives you a couple of weeks to prepare so what can we expect to see?
I tell you, I really feel for the people in the last weeks because they have less time to prepare so I'm grateful to have a bit more time. As for what to expect, for those of you who liked my audition piece, get ready to see my audition piece times fifty! I've listened to what the judges said about my moves being intricate and sometimes hard to pick up on camera so I've gone back to the drawing board with the original plans and added in plan B, plan C, D, E, F and G.
There is a tension between choreographing for a live audience on stage and things that look good on camera, and the judge's comments in the semi-final hinted that perhaps they felt they weren't getting the same thing as the people at home.
I understand their comments but what I wanted to do was show everyone that I have more than just one style. I was showing that I can fuse the original style of my audition with other styles and now that they've seen I can do that I can work on showing them something that's
explosively dynamite C4 and try to blow them away.
Any final shout-outs?

THE Canadians did take heavy casualties in Holland, and these, together with the still formidable losses in Italy, gave them an almost impossible task of reinforcement.
In this fifth year of war the armies of both sides found it hard to keep up to strength. One problem they all shared was a hazard not yet defined but later made famous as Parkinson's Law. The old-fashioned citizens' army--and by 1944 they were all citizens' armies--had been founded on the principle that anybody handy and able grabbed a musket and started shooting at the nearest stranger.
But with the exception of the desperate and driven Russians, this spartan rule did not apply to the armies of the early 1940s. All of them were clogged to the verge of smothering by their administrative overhead. They had NAAFIs (for tea, sausage rolls, and Woodbine cigarettes), ENSAs (for elderly dancing girls and musichall comics), and PXs (for Lucky Strikes and Lifebuoy soap), and in addition to these amenities all the Allied formations had almost incredible numbers of headquarters and line-of-communications troops.
The question of the "teeth to tail" ratio in the various armies is never likely to be settled beyond dispute, but one of the bestinformed insights has come down from the late Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas Ignatieff. A Russian by birth and a Canadian by adoption, Ignatieff dealt closely with his former compatriots as a British intelligence and liaison officer.

Several miles of prime salmon fishing with six named beats.
Great standby for lost days on Tweed.
Concessionary permit £130 per season.
The Berwick & District Angling Association administers several miles of the river Whiteadder with some prime Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout fishing.
They have six beats along the length of the lower Whiteadder starting with beat 1 above Allanton Bridge near Chirnside in Berwickshire down to Paxton near Berwick.
There are a number of named beats on the river and these are the only places where migratory fish can be taken.
Brown trout can be taken from any of the association water with the purchase of an association trout permit.
The Whiteadder runs over limestone ridges, through meadows and wooded valleys before meeting the Tweed a about half a mile above Berwick upon Tweed. The river has many fast streams and deep holes holding the bigger fish.
The Whiteadder's run of salmon has improved greatly over the past few years with the removal of the estuary, coastal nets and many of the river obstructions. After the spring run of salmon in February and March the fish continue to move into the river and from the end of May there is some fantastic seatrout fishing at night.
The traditional main run of salmon is at the end of the season with the bigger slow moving fish entering the river from September onwards. This is where the lower river comes into its own. When the river Tweed is un-fishable the Whiteadder is an excellent standby for lost day/days on the Tweed beats.
As a tributary to the Tweed the river is considerably smaller in size and as such tackle should be scaled down. IIdeally a shorter rod is ideal.
Permission to fish is given subject to the Rules of the Association and the terms of the Tweed Angling Code.

6. Permit holders must respect fences and property being passed over, shut gates, and park sensibly as heavy farm machinery will be using the roads. Do not light fires, take dogs onto the waterside or interfere with any farm animals game.
7. Suspected pollution or poaching must be reported without delay to the Secretary.
8. Only Resident season permit holders are entitled to vote at the Associations AGM held in early January in Berwick (see local press for details). This permit must be produced at the AGM for voting purposes.

Bluebelt Set to Expand in Oakwood Beach
Following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Bluebelt will be expanded in the Oakwood Beach area. It was announced by Senator Schumer on Thursday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the project to minimize flooding caused by storms like Sandy.
The expansion, formally known as the Creek West Branch project, will address wetland rehabilitation and flood management in the area, which is prone to flooding. The Bluebelt is a crucial part of Staten Island's storm water management system and currently services one third of the Island.
"The tremendous damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy to both inland and shoreline areas in Staten Island made it crystal clear that we need to enhance our flood mitigation and sewer capacity measures
How to Make Your Home Bid Stand Out
More than 4 million Americans buy a home each year, but many offers are discarded along the way. Since the real estate market has bounced back in various regions of the country, buyers are facing considerable competition. Of course, the best way to get the home you want is to offer the most money, but there are other ways to make your bid stand out among the rest. Two top real estate agents have given some tips on how to make your offer come out on top.
The key to making your offer heard is by calming the seller's fears. Seller's main concern in the selling process is the risk of a deal falling through. It's important to have your financing in order before submitting an offer. Make sure the lender checks your credit, assets, and employment status before
DISASTER TRAINING FOR NEW YORKERS
It has just been announced by the Governor's office that, under a new State program, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to receive the proper training needed for emergencies or disasters. The Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program will equip residents with the tools and resources to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions.
Citizen Preparedness training will provide an introduction to responding to disasters, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies. A response kit containing batteries, face masks, food bars, water bottles and a first aid kit will be distributed at the initial two-hour training session which will be held
Gillani Homes attends Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Gala Honoring Nicole Malliotakis
Last night, the Gillani Homes family had the privilege of being present at a very special event honoring Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis. The Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church held its annual gala at the Vanderbilt at South Beach, where it lauded the assembly woman for her stellar efforts after Hurricane Sandy.
Dil Gillani Broker/Owner of Gilani Homes and his wife Jasmine raved about the evening, Dil said- " It was nice to be present at this great event organized by such hard working people to honor Nicole. She is an amazing young lady who has done so much for this community."
Rev. Proropresbyter Nicholas P. Petrooulako said- "She had been on the streets before the storm was even over- she had literally rolled up her sleeves and gone
Volunteer on Monday to Help Count the Homeless on Staten Island
Project Hospitality, Staten Island's largest social agency, is looking for volunteers this monday to conduct a count of the homeless.
The Homeless Outreach Population Estimate, or HOPE count, aims to estimate the number of homeless living within the five boroughs. It also provides a rough figure of how many homeless are not accessing shelters or other services available. The data collected will also help the department determine the best allocation of funds.
Volunteers are especially needed on the south and east shores of Staten Island to search for homeless who may have been displaced by Hurricane Sandy. While the homeless rate on Staten Island has not grown as much as the other boroughs, 279 new beds were filled as a result of Sandy.
SEWER, WATER-LINE INSURANCE--DO YOU NEED IT?
A year ago, I received a letter from the DEP "inviting" me to purchase insurance to cover the cost of repair to the aging sewer and water lines that exist on Staten Island. I mulled it over, held on to the letter for a number of months and eventually sent it to the circular file.
Recently, I again received the same letter from the DEP urging me to purchase said insurance which is being offered by American Water Resources. Only 14% of all Staten Island homeowners have signed up for this program. Of the City's estimated 600,000 homeowners, only 103,021 homeowners have enrolled.
The cost is $4.49 a month for the water line protection and $7.99 a month for the sewer line protection. There are exclusions, naturally, to the insurance coverage. The
ARE YOU AS OLD AS YOU FEEL!
How many of you made resolutions for the new year 2014 to get in shape, to feel young again? How many of you feel OLD? Around Staten Island there are a multitude of sites to help you keep your resolutions. Silver Lake Park on the North Shore of Staten Island is perfect at any time of the day. The sun rise and sun set on the water and throughout the park is breathtaking. Bloomingdale Park on the South Shore boasts scenic trails, a great play area for the children and a dog run for the pooches among other features. Snug Harbor is a gem--the Botanical Garden, the Art Lab, galleries, the Children's Museum, the duck, fish and goose pond where you can sit and meditate. The boardwalk at South Beach is a perfect place to walk, run, meet people and breathe in
Controlling the Deer Population on Staten Island
Deer have been spotted all over Staten Island over the past few years. First in the more wooded areas of the South Shore near the Charleston shopping center, then down in Prince's Bay by Mount Loretto. Recently, they've been found as far north as South Beach and even up high in Todt Hill!
The abundance of deer has been a heated debate topic among islanders. Many accidents have been caused by deer unexpectedly darting out onto the roads. Others worry about the effects overpopulation would have on the environment and the possibility of deer carried diseases spreading to humans.
The question remains- How do we control the deer population in the most humane and efficient way? Birth control may be the answer. This idea is not without it's challenges.
Federal Build It Back Program Increases Funding
An additional $700 Million of federal funds will be allocated to the Build It Back program which has done wonders for Staten Islander's hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. The funding comes from the 1.4 billion dollars the city was awarded for community devlopment. According to The Staten Island Advance, the breakdown is as follow- "Slightly more than $1 Billion will go towards housing- the bulk of it, $716 million, to rebuilding or repairing one to four family homes through Build it Back."
According to the city, the funds set aside for home repairs should be enough to cover damages incurred by "priority one" homeowners. The residual should cover some reimbursement to "priority two" homeowners. Even still, the city expects to see more money funded into the
St. George named best neighborhood in NYC
According to Curbed NY, St. George has been named the best neighborhood in New York City. Its close proximity to Manhattan and famously orange Staten Island Ferry boat make St. George a gateway to the rest of the city. The win was an upset, beating out favorites like Greenpoint, Brooklyn for the title. With major developments happening throughout the area it's easy to see why St. George is so worthy of the top prize. Here is a look at the projects underway which will be completed over the next few years.
A 625 foot Ferris wheel, dubbed the New York wheel, is set for construction in Saint George. Like the famous London Eye, the NY wheel will serve as an observation attraction for tourists and residents alike. Offering stunning views of the New York Bay

Movement of people and goods was one of the main outcomes of the industrial revolution in Britain in the late-eighteenth century, starting with canals, which were displaced gradually by railways. Industrialisation came through innovation in manufacture, especially the development of mass-produced materials such as cast-iron. While the material had been known and used since the Elizabethan period, it could only be made in small quantities by smelting iron ore with charcoal.

Moldova says some in breakaway Transdniestria trying to destabilise region
By John Irish
Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu gestures while speaking during a joint news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following his talks in Moscow, Russia, November 17, 2021. Alexander Zemlianichenko/Pool via REUTERS
Moldova FM Popescu says tensions due to war in Ukraine
Says need more financial help to cope with refugees
Says Moldova belongs inside EU, ready to embark on long process
WEISSENHAUS, Germany, May 13 (Reuters) - There are internal elements in Moldova's pro-Russian separatist region which are trying to destabilise the area and stoke tensions, Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu said on Friday, as his country presses ahead with efforts to join the European Union.
Fears have increased in recent days that Moldova could be drawn into the conflict in neighbouring Ukraine, after pro-Russian separatists in Moldova's Transdniestria region blamed Kyiv for what they said were shootings, explosions and cross-border drone incursions.
Speaking in an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of a G7 foreign ministers meeting in northern Germany, Popescu said he could not apportion blame, but said it was clear the recent explosions were taking place as a result of the war in Ukraine.
"We want to solve the Transdniestria conflict through peaceful dialogue and diplomacy. What we see is that absolute majority of citizens in the Transdniestrian region doesn't want to live in a war zone and want peace, but there are forces inside that want to fuel destabilisation," he said.
"They are limited, but want to play games stoking up tensions, provoking, (making) the population of Transdniestria hysterical and making nervous the population of Moldova. There are internal forces that want to destabilise this region and bring war closer to our homes. We are working to make sure this is not happening."
Moldova, a tiny, mainly Romanian-speaking country wedged between Romania and Ukraine, has faced an unresolved separatist conflict for 30 years. A contingent of Russian peacekeepers is
based in mainly Russian-speaking Transdniestria that borders southwestern Ukraine.
PLACE INSIDE THE EU
Moldova has struggled to cope with the refugee flow from its neighbour, seeing some 450,000 refugees cross into the country with some 95,000 staying, of which half are children. It has put an economic strain on the country as it seeks to reform for its long-term ambition to join the European Union.
Popescu said it needed financial means to allocate money for refugees who stayed in Moldova and local families who have taken them in.
"We need to adapt everything that works in our state to the situation. It means more electricity, policing, waste management, heating, food so we need to help our state to adapt to this," he said.
Moldova's pro-Western government has strongly backed Kyiv since the Russian invasion and submitted a formal request to join the EU just a week after Russian troops rolled into Ukraine.
Popescu said Chisinau was pushing ahead with efforts to fight corruption, reform the justice system and liberalise the economy to be able to meet the EU's requirements, which he hoped would convince the bloc to allow it to begin the slow process to become a member.
"We believe that we are a country that has a European history, language, society and a relatively consolidated democracy," he said. "We believe our place is inside the European Union ... and hope that in the next few weeks and months the EU will recognise our European aspirations."

Completed in 1951, the canal begins at the C.W. Bill Jones Pumping Plant near Tracy and follows the Coast Range south, providing irrigation water to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, and terminating at Mendota Pool.
The pool is a historic diversion point for irrigation water. An old concrete dam built in 1919 causes the river to back up, creating a small reservoir 40 miles downstream of Friant Dam. Here the Delta-Mendota Canal's remaining water is released to replace San Joaquin River flows that have been diverted by the Madera and Friant-Kern canals upstream of the San Joaquin River.
As part of the San Joaquin River restoration, 10 miles of river passage leading up to the Mendota Pool are being widened. There is also a possibility the pool will include a bypass to allow salmon to migrate.
In 2010, $20.7 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was designated to fund construction of a pumping plant and pipeline to connect the Delta-Mendota Canal with the California , Aqueduct near the city of Tracy, also known as the Delta Mendota Canal/California Aqueduct Intertie.
The Intertie, completed in 2012, connects the federal Central Valley Project and State Water Project while providing some flexibility to use one another's infrastructure. The project also mitigates Delta-Mendota Canal conveyance limitations, allows for maintenance and repair activities, and serves as a resource for emergency water operations.


It is hard to escape the conclusion that the FEI has chosen to play a get-out-of-jail-free card over the harrowing demise of an Australian-bred endurance horse in a race in Abu Dhabi.
An image which has circulated in social media, and was published by Britain's Daily Telegraph on Friday, shows Splitters Creek Bundy standing helplessly, having snapped both his cannon bones in the Al Reef Cup, staged a week ago.
The problem? The race over 120km was not an FEI-sanctioned event. It was run under less stringent rules adopted by the United Arab Emirates' equestrian federation for some domestic endurance races. On that basis, the FEI has no jurisdiction, or, as the Telegraph reported, the world governing body asserted it was "powerless to act".

Laura Burt (September 16, 1872 - October 16, 1952) was a British-born actress known for her American and English stage performances.

Burt was born on the Isle of Man on September 16, 1872, and her family soon emigrated to the United States. Her mother was a temperance movement activist.

Burt first drew attention for her stage performances in the hit 1890 play Blue Jeans. Another of her most famous performances was as Madge in In Old Kentucky.

She married British actor Henry Stanford on March 2, 1902, and they performed together in some cases until Stanford's death in 1921.

How To Make Car in Jar Snow Globe. Easy Kids Craft for Christmas!
The biggest challenge was finding the vintage car.
nothing that inspired the homey, Norman Rockwell feel I was after.
I guess, when it comes down to it, what kid wants to push around mini vans and wood sided station wagons?
and questioning why I hadn't even bothered to come up with a Plan B.
My next (and final) stop was Toys R Us. And I'll be honest with you, it wasn't looking good. I was faced with an aisle filled with race cars in neon colors and monster trucks.
But then there … there at the very end of the aisle … tucked behind three other cars, I found it.
… and then tied to the tree to the top of the car using baker's twine.
The final step: Put the car in the jar on a small bed of faux snow.
You already know this beauty stole my vintage loving heart!!! Like word cant even describe how much a adore it!! ITS SO ME!!!! Thank you for Everything my dear!!! It's been a blast!!!
you had me ROLLING with Malia's comment!! HAHAHA!!!
What size jars did you use for the vintage snow globes?
I am IN LOVE with this project! I just may head over to Toy R Us tonight!
i LOVE this! I am for sure going to make one! Thanks so much for the idea. Have you seen the Blend holiday fabric called Hip Holiday? It has vintage cars with trees tied on top. Here is a link http://www.josephinekimberling.com/blog/my-hip-holiday-fabric-collection/ Thought you would like it!
This is just too cute and your pictures are breathtaking.
Thank you Linda – my son would love one of these! Great tutorial.
This one is brilliant Linda!!
Oh my! I so Love your car in a mason jar.
Love it! This is one of those simple little projects that is simply perfect – so glad you kept up the search until you found that perfect little car.
What! a cute idea 🙂 and your photos are so great, too!
This is the most adorable thing ever. I love it!
Gosh, this is such a cute idea! My son is 19 and STILL has his matchbox/hotwheels collection! LOL! I just picked up some cute mason jars with gold lids at Dollar Tree and this would be so fun to make with them. Thanks!
What? Just what? This is ahhhmazing! I just inherited all sorts of matchbox cars that are probably over 50 years old from a friend who collected them as a child. I wasn't sure what to do with them since I was worried about lead paint and such. This is brilliant and I'm thinking of re-gifting some of these back to him just like this if I can find something similar in the stash! Such a genius idea, thanks for the inspiration!!
This is absolutely awesome! So dang cute I can't take it. I want to move in that little jar and spend Christmas there ~ sort of pretend I'm back in time somewhere where Christmas is perfect. So happy to be 'jar' hopping with you!
So stinkin' cute Linda – I love it!
Such a sweet idea! I just love it! What did you use for snow? Thanks!
this car in a jar is just absolutely beautiful and magical and really makes me want to get into the crafting spirit. loving the entire collective for mason jars! 🙂 will be checking out some of the other creations soon!
That is so stinkin cute!
OK Linda, this is fantastic…and something I can do as I have a zillion old Hallmark truck and car ornaments!!!
This is one of the CUTEST things I have ever seen!!! I made it my mission this week to go out and find one of those vintage cars (and found one at Hobby Lobby). I added the little tree and put it with my little glitter house collection and LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I love this craft and the great variety that you could have with it – even the kids could pick out their own theme and do one. I'll definitely be tucking this away to do soon before Christmas! Sharing with my FB readers on Monday.
I love snow globes. I think they remind me of childhood and innocence. Your's is so adorable.
Oh My Gosh- I love this and have shared with my readers. Super cute!
Thanks so much for the sweet words about my Hanger Card Holder! I was a crazy idea! Lol! Oh and I shared this adorable project of yours on FB this weekend!!! Love, love, love it!!! I would love to feature it on my Pinterest post this week if that's ok! I only do one pic & a link back. If it's not please let me know! Happy Thanksgiving!
OH Linda, how did I miss this?! i know… i swore off the internet for a time period there and then did not got back and read those missed posts… bad girl!
This is so cute! We've made ones in the past but not with an adorable vintage inspired car in it though!
This is SERIOUSLY the cutest!!!!!
This is the cutest mason jar project I've ever seen. Amazing.
Hi! I was wondering what size of the bottle brush trees you used! Thanks!
This is seriously the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. I absoluely LOVE it! Would you share this awesome project at Your Designs This Time link party? The party goes live every Monday morning at 8:00. Hope to see you there!
I love this, but I have one problem with it. Where is the tree trunk? I think you need to put a small cork on the bottom, or cover the wire with some brown yarn. Maybe this was written about somewhere, earlier, but I don't have time to search for it. I need to search through my old cars & see if I still have one of those little bottle trees! Thanks for the great idea.
I imagine it could be wrapped with felt or yarn. Corks could be cut to fit, or it could be shoved into the end of a small stick.
I love this idea, but I know that the first thing people will do when they pick it up is shake it to make the snow fluff around — which means the car is going to bang around too. Is hot glue enough to secure the car?
You can absolutely do the hot glue! I would perhaps suggest people not pick it up and shake it around??? It's pretty obvious there is no liquid inside!

OroszWilsonI really can't remember when I first met Liz — it was so long ago. Avian medicine was in its infancy, and we would attend meetings and hang onto every word. Those words would provide clues that might help us save birds' lives. There were few pieces of information written, so we relied on the experiences of others to help us move forward in the field of avian medicine.
Most meetings of the Association on Avian Veterinarians were small enough that you got to know those in attendance pretty quickly, and it was there that I first heard Liz talk. She came by her credentials from the road of experience — as a veterinary technician who had seen a lot of parrots and, like all of us, knew that we needed to help them adjust to a life in captivity.
She came to lecture to veterinary students and veterinarians back in the early '90s at The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. I think that was my first time to sit down with Liz over a period of days and talk "parrot." Her deep voice (a bit gravelly), quick wit, and even quicker assessment of the situation, were hallmarks.
I remember the first thing that Liz wanted all parrot owners to do when they first got their bird and especially if they were having a problem: she wanted them to take it to their avian vet! She needed them to learn from their vet the "bad birdie" diseases and how to keep them safe. We all knew then that husbandry issues – the lack of quality care, from food to cages – had a hand in killing birds. As a veterinary technician, Liz knew how important it was at getting care right. In a more recent conversation with her, we discussed that even fewer new bird owners, and even bird owners in general, do not seek yearly exams and help from avian veterinarians.
Liz was even more alarmed at Internet doctoring and many owners' lack of general knowledge. She alluded to the hazard of Internet misinformation and mystery sources with her famous quote, "The danger with internet quotes is that they can rarely be verified… Abraham Lincoln. " With this, she again demonstrated her wit and cut-to-the-chase style of communication. She knew that this problem has only escalated and is a detriment to parrots!
Another topic that we had recently discussed was her rewriting of the veterinary issue topics in her articles. The first issue is "Is it TRUE you can't tell when a bird is SICK?" She relates in one of her articles that a novice bird owner actually picked out a bird because he was "real nice and quiet." Her recommendation was to … you guessed it … take your bird to your avian vet! As she related, it is NOT normal for a parrot to be quiet. And in this case the bird had psittacosis, a disease that can be transmitted to people and make them very sick! The point is that birds often have subtle symptoms when they are first sick, and these early warning signs are very important clues. That means that when an owner sees a bird on the bottom of the cage, the time to go to the vet … is NOW!
Another issue that we discussed recently was her article, "The Top 18 Ways to Drive an Avian Veterinarian CRAZY." This is a classic article and those of us who only see birds and exotics really understand and unfortunately nod our heads in recognition, albeit sadly. Those words still rattle us vets 15 years later. One common item to share is number 5 from an owner: "Don't do annual check-ups with their birds, only bring in a bird when there is an emergency." Unfortunately, this still drives avian vets crazy. Birds deserve yearly exams just like dogs and cats!
I will always remember Liz at the podium discussing how we vets would grab birds up in a towel – acting, as she said, like a Harpy eagle! "And how and what does the parrot think?" she asked the veterinary audience with her eyes almost bulging! "No wonder they scream and are in a panic!" She went through a calm, slow approach with the towel, and we all benefitted.
Once she came to visit my avian and exotic animal hospital, and she patiently answered questions and worked with a variety of owners, from those wanting a 5-minute "silver bullet" session to ask questions about their birds to those who paid to spend an hour with her and their birds. She was able to assess and provide care from biters to screamers to complex problems. I remember how Liz replied to an owner who said her young Amazon parrot had not bitten her. "Yet!" was Liz's one-word response. I often think of that word when owners say similar things. And I smile, and think "Yet "in Liz's voice.
Liz reminded us that parrots are intelligent sentient creatures. She wanted so much for humans and birds to live well together. Her words over the years ring true to all of us in our search to enhance the lives our companion birds. Liz was very special, just like the parrots that she loved. We will miss her words of wisdom.

The main role of selenium is as the cofactor to the enzymes glutathlone peroxidase. The discovery of gluthlone peroxide revealed how critical selenium is to protection against cancer, heart disease,arthritis and accelerated aging. The main biological role of glutathlone peroxide is to protect the organisms from oxidative damage.
The high levels of chlorophyll and B- carotene in spirulina may explain it's ability to stop cancer colonies from forming because thereby with thus stimulate excretion of cancer causing chemicals.

These are strawberry cupcakes in silver cups, iced with bright pink cream cheese icing and little pink fondant bunnies.
I was going to ice them with pink vanilla butter icing, but in my rush to get finished, my mixing jug slid off the kitchen counter, and about 3 litres of butter icing ended up on the floor when my jug shattered.
