Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have created a charitable gift fund to help celebrate their wedding. The fund will focus on assisting charities which support the five causes chosen by the couple. These causes are close to their hearts and reflect the experiences, passions and values of their lives so far. Having been touched by the goodwill shown to them since their engagement, they have asked that anyone wishing to send them a wedding gift consider doing so in the form of a donation to the fund.

Floral Displays in the Abbey and Buckingham Palace

26th April 2011

The Couple have taken a close interest in the designs, which follows a theme that pays tribute to the Language of Flowers

Prince William and Miss Middleton have chosen London-based floral designer Shane Connolly to create the floral displays for their wedding on April 29th. Mr. Connolly has directed a team of florists, including Westminster Abbey's and Buckingham Palace's florists, and florists individually chosen by the Couple, to create the floral displays at the Abbey and for Buckingham Palace.

Mr. Connolly was chosen by the Couple owing to his reputation for producing elegant and unique displays, and for his creative approach which focuses on using seasonal, natural and organic flowers. Mr. Connolly is also well known for his sustainable approach to floristry, which incorporates as much as possible the use of growing, rather than cut, plants and trees.

The Couple have taken a close interest in the designs, which follows a theme that pays tribute to the Language of Flowers.

The floral displays in Westminster Abbey feature a variety of seasonal growing and cut British flowers and trees sourced from Royal Estates and other growers around the country. The flowers and plants include blossoms, azaleas, rhododendron, euphorbias, beech, wisteria and lilac.

The floral displays in the Abbey will include eight 20 feet-high trees: six English Field Maple and two Hornbeam. All the trees will be growing in planters, which have also been designed by Mr. Connolly and which were made by craftsmen at Highgrove, The Prince of Wales's Residence in Gloucestershire.

After the wedding, the flowers and plants will be left in position in Westminster Abbey for the public to view until Friday 6th May 2011. Following this, many of the trees will be taken to Highgrove Gardens, where they will be planted. The Couple's intention is that many of the cut plants and flowers and all the growing plants will be donated to charities or re-planted.

Notes to editors

• The trees, plants and flowers are being sourced from the Saville Gardens and Valley Gardens in Windsor Great Park, Sandringham Estate and other English growers.

Level 60 CityVille Secrets Revealed

Welcome back to Kenny Rogers Travel Agency
 

 

Level 60 Secrets

 Cityville 

There are more and more people joining the ranks of CityVille every day. Some even say that it is the next Farmville. No one can get enough of this game and there are plenty of reasons why. You are the king of your empire. You decide how your city will look like and and what economic stance to take. Can there be a better facebook game out there? With 100 million+ people already active players and counting, this game will or should I say is already a big hit!

However, I might be a slow and painful process to wait for your crops to grow or your population halted because of insufficient community buildings. These are the results of not having enough coins or cash to progress in the game. The ultimate goal in the game is to progress, expand your city and earn more money to beautify your city. At the beginning, leveling up seems easy. But once you reach the higher levels, it could take days to make it to the next level. You will need to gain more XP points to level up at this stage compared to earlier stages. There are several ways to gain experience points. You can build more buildings, produce more crops or trade. Most players generally do a bit of
everything. I wouldn't say that is wrong, but it certainly isn't the fastest way to level up.

I would recommend that you concentrate on the things that generate coins first. Then move on to other things. Because in this game, coins is king! You might encounter a slight problem though on your quest for coins. Your population will become unhappy because you have not built enough community buildings. Do not fret, get your friends to help you do chores to save you energy and you can then focus on doing things that would keep your population happy. Once you have coins, build housing and community buildings. Now you will be concentrating on leveling up in the game.

And when you have a signnificant amount of coins, it makes it easier to plan ahead what you are going to build. At the end of the day, building a city takes time. But it shouldn't be a struggle. When you have the right strategies and techniques to do it, only the sky's the limit for you and your city!

Level 90 Farmville Secrets Revealed

Welcome back to Kenny Rogers Travel Agency  

FarmVille is a great place to go to escape the rigors of everyday life. You can get back to nature and enjoy the peace and tranquility that comes from working on the land. However, not everything in FarmVille is an escape from the ordinary. You still need money for just about everything you do. You have to buy the seeds to plant, and you'll even have to pay a small sum for each plot of land you plow.

These costs are easily managed of course because you're harvesting and selling your crops for more than it cost to plant them. There are a lot of other items you can buy in the FarmVille market to decorate and build up your farm, and you won't be able to get these without some significant sums of cash. Buying these items will also get you some much needed experience points to help you advance to the next level, so you'll have to find a way to make sure you have enough money for all the discretionary items you want to buy.

Earnings Per Hour

Because you'll be needing your coins for so much in FarmVille, you need to maximize the earning potential of your farm. The best way to do this is to figure out which crops pay out the most coins per hour. For example, strawberries sell for 35 coins per plot of land harvested and they take 4 hours to grow. Pumpkins, on the other hand, take 8 hours to grow and sell for 68 coins per plot of land harvested.

That means, for the same acreage planted, you'll earn 8.75 coins per hour by planting strawberries, while the pumpkins will only get you 8.5 coins per hour. This may seem like a small difference, but these small amounts can add up fast. Of course, you won't be getting your money's worth unless you can harvest the crops as soon as they're ready and immediately replant on that land.

A Quick Turnaround

If you're not going to be able to get back to your farm for 8 hours, you're much better off planting the pumpkins. The longer you leave a crop after it's done maturing, the less you'll be getting per hour once you harvest it. You can only make money fast on crops that mature quickly if you're going to be able to harvest and replant as soon as they're ready for sale. Make sure you take these details into consideration when you're selecting your seeds at the Market, and you'll be seeing your bank account swelling in no time.
