My Story…
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Based on a True Story
Writer: Unknown
So my question…. Why? I'mgoing to tell you the story to how my life turned out to the word "why". My mommet my dad on college, so the usual thing happened you know, they fell in love,fell out of love, became a couple and finally married. They bought a houseafter college and they both started to work to earn money, my dad joined thearmy and my mom started to work as a graphic designer.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
So every thing seemedpretty great. They had a house, a car, family, and a great marriage. My mom was and still is greatat her job, my dad loved the army, they had time together, money to spend, anda great life. They felt they don't need friends because if they have each otherthey're happy. <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My dads family loved mymom and my moms family loved my dad, they where the best match, as they say "Amatch made in heaven ". In there sixth year of marriage they decided they want achild, they got so happy and excited. They triedand tried but nothing happened, they saw doctorsand nobody could help them.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
At their seventh year of marriage, theysaw one last doctor. He gave them horriblethings to do and drink. They didn't like it but they pulled through. Aboutthree months after seeing the doctor and doing these weird things, my mom fellpregnant. So their I was, not part ofthe world yet but I was their.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My moms tummy wasgrowing bigger and bigger by the day. And the more they think about me theyrealize that their time together is getting less. They painted out a room for me;they bought a crib, and cloths for me to wear. My mom asked her work if it'sfine if she still works till the baby's their, to earn more money for the baby.
My dad went on a worktrip with the army to Antarctica my mom wasalone at home, he was their for three months, my parent wrote to each otheralmost every day. When he came back our lives turned back to normal again.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My mom had a baby showeron about seven months my dads mom and sister planed it all out. My mom had agreat baby shower, while still working. One lazy afternoon my mom felt funnyand realized that her water broke and she is going to have this baby now, shecalled my dad and while driving like a Moran he took her to the hospital tohave their baby.
More than twenty fours laterin the hospital my dad was holding her hand through the whole thing and thenshe finally had me out. So theirs my first gasp to air. The doctor said, "Tentoes ten fingers, good work" he blinked at her and gave me to my mom, she heldme against her chest knowing I am hers. I guess if she knew what she now knowstoday maybe things would have turned out different.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
So the next day we allwent home as a family, my grand parents, aunt's and uncles came to look at methe next day. My dad went to work telling every one he knows that he is afather now. My mom called everyone even as far as over seas to tell them thegood news.
At last we where one,together, a family, we had everything we ever dreamed of having.
So my moms time with mewas getting less and she started to work again. And their I was my first day atschool, I guess you can't really call it school, but it was after all an eightto four routine. I was six months old, scared and crying at the front door ofthe nursery.
My life suddenly changedto a routine every day over and over again the same old story. The timetogether at night and on weekends as a family we enjoyed. We went to visit mydads parent almost every second weekend. We went on vacation year after year, Istill remember my first Christmas, and it was a great time of my life.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
About a year after I wasborn my moms sister had her first child, so again their I was. I guess my firstrejection in life, now I'm not the cutest anymore now it's my niece. She alwaystook the lime light from me when we where young. Although we played together alot and we where and still is very close.
My mom then went on avacation with her work to Mauritiusfor a week or so. My mom left me at my dads mom knowing I'll be ok their. Sonow for the first time since we are a family my dad had nothing to come home toafter work.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My dad chose to stayafter work to have a drink or so with the guys. So their dad met a women, shewas blond, beautiful, and almost ten years younger than him. They had some innocentfun, or so ill call it. Till today nobody really knows what happened that day,except my dad and this woman of course.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Maybe it was amind-shift or a spell or maybe to much to drink or the sex, ill probably neverknow. But something must have happened that he decided it looks better than thelife he has now.
My mom came home and Iwas back, my dad told my mom that he heard that she was sleeping with other menin Mauritius,that wasn't true of course. They had a fight, cleared it out and went on withlife.
In about a month or somy dad came home after work as usual.
Me and my mom sat ontheir bed waiting for him, he stormed in very angry, my mom asked what's wrong,he opened the closet door pulled out a travel bag, looked back and answered, "I'mhaving an affair".
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My mom started to cry,he was busy packing he's things, I was sitting their not understanding what wasgoing on looking at how this is going to play off. My mom asked what did she dowrong, he said its not you it's my fault. He finished packing, kissed megoodbye, ran to the front door with my mom following, he turned around andsaid," I want a divorce, our son will have the best of both worlds".
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My mom turned aroundwith red eye's crying, she walked to me, sat next to me and I asked " when isdaddy coming back?" she waited a minute or so and then said in a scared andsoft voice " never ". I realized that my dad isn't coming home again I startedto cry.
I guess this is aquestion I still ask myself some times "why, what did I do to deserve this?" myfirst real life rejection, my dad walked out on me at the age of three. Withboth me and my moms hearts broken we went on with life my mom signed the papersand, I may see my dad every second weekend.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
About a year after my parent'sdivorce my dad married this woman he had an affair with, it was a green weddingin the bush at some kind of farm. After that I saw my dad every second weekendfor about another year.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
My mom had boyfriendsbut no longer than a month or two. When I saw my dad we had some fun timestogether, I was now four. So one warm summer Saturday morning my dad had to goin for work and me and my new step-mom stayed at home together. I touched the catand she went crazy ( probably seeing a opportunity), she grabbed my arm pulledme to the bathroom hit me with a belt, my ass was blue, she then locked me intheir for the rest of the day.
My dad came home, whenshe heard his car she unlocked me and taught me that I should say hello and actnormal, and if I where to tell him she would do it to me again, I kept my mouthand went home the next day crying.
I taught my mom everything she contacted my dads sister she was a lawyer, we got a restraining orderagainst her. My dad called his mom and told her that we should leave them aloneand that if we where to contact them they where to ignore us.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
We went on with life, mymom had boyfriends, I loved school, I made friends with the neighbors, and westill visited my gran (my dad's mom). We didn't have much contact with my dad.
We went on vacation yearafter year, we had money, cars, and a home. In school I always had rejection. Ialways and still have more girl friends than boys. I sucked at relationships, Ihad a girl here or their but no big deal. I always was teased by otherchildren, it became an everyday usual thing in my life.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Although througheverything I went through at such young age I still loved people (I guess my escaperoute from the real world…people), I cried myself to sleep years after that.Although I didn't really remember or knew my dad I still cried about him.
If people where to askme at that age where's my dad I would tell them I didn't have one. My mom toldme a lot about him, a few time I though we drove by him (Urg… I wish).
I had a few picturesthat I kept, and if I missed him id look at the pictures and cry. At that ageit was my life, my mission: to find my dad, or at least know him better. I askedeveryone I knew know my dad to tell me a story of him, that's all I had to holdon to, memories and photos, that's my dad, a piece of paper and a though in myhead. My mom cried about him but never in front of me, of course.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
So from the age four toten, this was my life, my dad a paper, my mom sad and still living in the housewe bought with him. We wanted to begin a new start, a new beginning that wouldlead us to a happy ever after. We sold the house and bought a big double storyhome with a splash pool, and we felt great knowing we now have a new home. Mygrandfather my moms dad died that year, it was a horrible time in the family.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
So again rejection atschool, home, family, I'm angry at God, a miserable time of my life. So a monthin our new home, great time, one night they broke in and stole some of ourthings, you know the usual, pots pans, play stations ect. Luckily we got newones, no big deal right.
Suddenly the money flowstarted to get less and less, our first time, BROKE from now on we live onbread, my whole lifestyle changed, from prawns to bread. I realize I need tomake things right with God, so I say sorry. But nothing gets better.
I now turned eleven andmy dads mom, died this year. My dad was invited to the funeral knowing his lastwords to her were definitely not great words. So my whole life I prepared thisspeech for one day when I shall see him again, you know I hate you, why daddywhy did you do this to us. So we stopped at the funeral climbed out, and walkedacross the grass, we then came around the corner turned around and their wewhere standing in my dads arms, with me crying and my mom not getting a wordout. I turned around and I noticed that I was in a woman's arms, so I asked:"sorry who are you" she replied: "your dads wife, you know" in shock I saidhello and walked into my moms arms. I was askedto carry the coffin, I then said no, I was too emotional.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
After the funeral my dadasked his dad for my number, my gran dad gave it to him telling him:" Son youmessed this up once, don't do it again, don't hurt him again" my dad called meand talked to me, day after day, I couldn't get enough of his voice.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
I stared to see himagain every weekend or so that I could, me and my step-mom are friends now, Iguess ill never forgive them, or maybe not just yet. We had great times onthese weekends, we would go on trips, shopping, fishing, and tons of otherstuff. Everything was great, I had a life at, my moms and at my dads, I guess Ihad the best of both worlds. It's just too bad it was so quick. About a yearafter I was seeing my dad, he came to fetch me as usual, while we drove to hishome on the high-way, he puts the music off and tells me:" son I have somethingto tell you" I looked at him asking:" yes daddy" he then got tears in his eyes,looked at me and said:" we are going to immigrate"it felt as if bricks was falling down on my shoulders, my heart fell into myshoes, I looked away from him and said:" where to?" I looked back at him withtears rolling down my cheeks he said:" Australia" I then started to cry and asked:"when?" he touched my shoulder and said:" in six months" the rest of the weekendI was rather still, I got home, ran to my room, took out pictures, andlistening to sad music I cried myself to sleep for three hours.
I sat asking myself, ifhe knew he was going to leave the county a year ago when we reconciled, and leave and reject me AGAIN, WHY the fuck did he reconcile, now I have ALL thosefeeling AGAIN, all the feeling that took me ten year to deal with, he gives itback in a simple conversation. I went through a hard time dealing with theseemotions, I supported them, and they left as they said six months later. Ourcommunication got less, much less but we went one with life. I now was thirteenand I couldn't care less about the world and the people around me. I became arebel, I started to drink, smoke, I was cutting myself, I had friends with aBAD influence in my life, I had my first sexual experience, I got an eye piercing,my grades sucked, all things i'm not really proud of.
My dad called me tellingme i'm going to visit them in Australia.It was a great week of my life. The day I came back, I sat in the airplane,crying and crying, I realized it's the first time I walked away from my dad andthis time it's not him walking out, but me. I cried and cried I found a song onmy music list "someone like you" by Adele. So I put this song on repeat, I hadmy earphones on, and I cried for fourteen hours listening to that song all theway on the flight.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
I climbed off theairplane and bought the CD immediately, I saw my mom, fell into her arms,crying and crying. We got home and for a week id just sit in my room listeningto this one song, looking at photo's and crying till I couldn't anymore. The I realized that lifeis more than just smoking and piercing, I prayed and came clean I left my badfriends and I went on to the straight and narrow, life's about memories,moments, family, and friends.
My step-mom couldn't getchildren, or so they told us, but she fell pregnant.I found it hard very emotional, I thought that my dad wouldforget about me and go on with his wife and child he has in a other country.Just think of every time that he does something with her he would think that hedidn't do it with me, its sad but I cant do anything about it now. Today I madepeace with it although it's another rejection in my life. She is after all myhalf-sister.
I went to a new schoolfor high-school and I met two great girls their, today they are my bestfriends, they are my everything, I love school cause I know ill see them their,they always support me.
I had a rough year and i'mheading to a great life, MY HAPPY ENDING. We are going to rent out our home andwe are moving in with a man my moms getting engaged to in a few days, they willmarry, we will have lots of money again, new stuff and a life, with that i'mgoing to a new school next year for English so that I can go overseas when I'meighteen I'm going to rule the world.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
I'm going to Australia again, this time I'mgoing to asked all these "whys" in this story to my dad, this time I wantanswers, lots of answers, then when I have my answers ill be able to go on withlife and put my past behind me and just look forward, so I guess this is it i'mgoing to start MY HAPPY ENDING, cause this is after all my life, my story.Thanks for reading my life story, I hoped you learned something, forgive thosethat done wrong, always look forward. Go out their and write your story, yourhappy ending…
THE END <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Remarkable product - it really does improve the taste of wine In a side by side comparison with a normal glass of similar dimensions. I am a sceptical scientist and I don't understand how! Also excellent customer service. Many thanks for a really speedy response when one of the glasses arrived broken. I would not hesitate in recommending your product or service to anyone else. Best wishes for 2014.
Breathable wine glasses
I have only given 3* as I have only tried the glasses out once. I did try the wine in an ordinary glass and it did seem to make a difference in the Breathable wine Glass - the wine (white) was a bit smoother and not as sharp as the ordinary glass. Further testing is definately required!!
Breathable wine glasses really do work
This is the second set of these I've had, the first set were a gift and I was sceptical, however these really do make a cheap bottle of wine taste like it cost far more. Having managed to break the first set, I was so impressed with them I've ordered these for myself.
Breathable Wine Glasses
When the Two Breathable Wine Glasses arrived my partner and I thought we had been duped as they looked like ordinary glasses to us. However, my father (who likes to think of himself as a wine connoisseur) informed us that they were excellent and he could tell the difference. To us, that was all we wanted to hear, so I'm fully satisfied.
Amazing glasses
After reading other reviews on the Two Breathable Wine Glasses, I decided to get a pair. Wow, I don't know how it works but tried the taste test and it certainly worked for me. I could completely smell the difference and taste. I will be buying these again as a gift for a friend's wedding.
Fathers Day gift for the man who has everything
I was excited to receive these and thought he would really appreciate them, however when they arrived (which was quick and efficient) I was disappointed to see two ordinary looking glasses. The writing barely describes what they do, so how do I present them to him? I won't be there when he opens them but will have to call to explain what they do. My partner believes I have been duped however I am not so sceptical and hopefully my father will notice once explained.
New and improved
I bought a pair of these a few years ago, and they were lovely. I don't have sufficient palate to tell if they really make the wine better but they are very nice glasses. The only downsides were that they were not dish washer safe, and that they seemed a bit delicate and prone to breaking so I did not use them as much as I'd like. Now I have bought another pair and discover that the new design is sturdier and dish washable - fantastic - I can now use them whenever I want.
Great present!
The Two Breathable Wine Glasses are a great present for my parents (who are impossible to buy for!). They aren't really serious wine drinkers but do enjoy a tipple occasionally. The only thing is the box, which is a bit plain and also slightly squished. A lot of these are going to be gifts to people so jazz it up a little Iwoot team!
They work (what a relief!)!
I bought the Two Breathable Wine Glasses for some rather wine savvy famlily members. Much to my relief, they reported that a wine they knew well seemed more flavoursome in the breathable glasses. They were unable to do a proper comparison, as they did not have "normal" wine glasses of the same shape and size; however, they did think that the wine's bouquet was impressive, and they attribute this to the glasses. Besides this, they found the glasses to be of good size, elegant, and of good quality. They would like some more. That's Christmas settled then...
Really good
I bought a set of these Two Breathable Wine Glasses for my son and wife for Christmas. They did the test and were amazed. So, I sent for another set to give to my other son and wife. They are real wine lovers and are very fussy, which is why I didn't risk buying them these glasses in the first place. However, they tried them 2 days ago and were amazed at how much better the wine tasted. So, of course now I have to send for a set for myself!
Every wine buff should have these
Basically the title says it all. If you like a drop of the vino, then you should splash out on a pair of these. When I first got them my wife and I did a taste test - splitting a heavy red between one of these and an expensive crystal glass and leaving for 30 minutes. When we tried the two glasses, the difference was startling - the one in the new glass tasted mellow and velvet smooth, whereas the more expensive glass tasted quite harsh and "oaky". These work equally well with white and rose wines as reds, but if you use sparkling wines then leave it in for less time, as they do seem to go flat slightly quicker. Other plus point is that these play beautifully - a wet finger around the rim produces a lovely musical tone. Oh and each glass holds half of the usual 750ml bottle - so obviously a pair will empty a bottle with no re-filling necessary - very convenient. They're also very, very light - especially compared to the crystal ones we were using previously. Downsides? Because they're light they're also very delicate - we're on our second set because our clumsy daughter managed to crack one of the original ones - so be a bit careful with them. They're also slightly harder to clean - if hand washing then I recommend a warm water rinse to remove any washing up liquid residue. Do that and they come up good as new! Tip: if you're impatient then use a wine aerator (Vinturi in my case) when pouring and you can cut the standing time by 50%.
nice present for wine fans...
I bought this as a gift for my brother and partner who enjoy their fair share of red wine and after doing the required taste tests with numerous glasses both agreed that these glasses were fantastic! I know nothing about wine therefore can only take their word for it. Only small criticism was there was no description in the box, therefore, just looked like 2 standard issue wine glasses.
Purchased these Breathable Wine Glasses for my hubby who's a self confessed wine addict. He was completely sceptical about them and didn't believe they'd work when he opened the gift. We've tried numerous 'blindfold' challenges with friends and family and everyone has identified the wine from these glasses as the best, even when it's come from the same bottle. We've tried getting people to taste these glasses first, or last, it always works. Very good.
I bought these for my parents. Who were cautious at first but became massive fans of them. They enjoyed testing them against normal glasses. Despite the fact that both sets of glasses were broken by accident in a year. Doesn't stop me thinking that I can get them another pair and consider it a good buy. Although I had problems with delivery, it took 3 attempts to get a set in proper condition to me. Still if you love wine these glasses are for you. Hell even if you love orange juice these glasses are great

The Bulldogs didn't just play well -- they dominated White Plains for an 86-58 victory.
"We have a terrible history with White Plains," Lewis said. "They usually destroy us. It's usually a really embarrassing feat. They're just a very, very tough opponent anywhere. They're very tough down here."
The only time Piedmont (3-2, 1-1 Class 3A, Area 10) trailed was at the start of the game.
Senior point guard Denard Spears quickly put the Bulldogs ahead by scoring six of his 25 points in the first quarter.
"Denard had a great game," Lewis said. "Taylor Hayes came in as a sub. He's a ninth-grader and he had a real good game. The big thing was the defense. Everybody had more of a defensive assignment. A lot of our shots fell because we got ahead. It's easier to shoot when you're ahead."
Hayes finished with 15 points.
Even with the loss, White Plains maintained a winning record at 5-4. But, the Wildcats are still chasing their first win in Area 10.
"It's pretty frustrating to lose at home anytime," Wildcats head coach Chris Randall said. "When you lose an area game at home and you give up 86, you've just got to tip your hat to Piedmont.
"They were much better prepared to play. Obviously, that's on me."
Nathan Gilbert led the Wildcats in scoring with 15 points.
White Plains girls 44, Piedmont 36: The Lady Wildcats increased their winning streak to seven games, and head coach Michael Merriman called the win "huge."
"It gets us to the point where we can kind of control our own destiny a little bit," he said. "That was tough tonight. Piedmont's a good basketball team. But, it's huge for us."
The Lady Wildcats (8-1, 2-0) trailed the Bulldogs 3-0 early in the first quarter. White Plains then used a 14-4 run capped off by senior guard Taylor Snellgrove's two 3-point baskets to pull away.
"We just hit a lot of them warming up," she said. "It's all about my teammates passing me the ball. They just had really good passes and we ran our plays good and that's what gets shots open."
Snellgrove finished with 17 points. Getting an area win at home is what mattered most to the senior.
"It's real big," she said. "It get's our team up."
White Plains returns to action Saturday at Cleburne County.
Piedmont plays again Monday at Saks.

Firm Favourite
My 2-year old ALWAYS finishes this meal, although he's normally a picky eater. The sauce is really quite good, and the veg is both recognizable and just soft enough for him.

my son's favourite
Both my boys (3 year old and 1year old) love this! My 3 year old will always eat this and it's great to keep in the fridge/freezer for days when tea needs to be made quickly without guilt!! (can be microwaved from chilled in 1 1/2 mins!). "Pasta, peas and broccoli" is a firm favourite in our house!

Doctor of Ministry Student Endorsements
|"I've been truly blessed by the D.Min. program and am enthusiastically recommending it to other pastors that I know. It's sharpened me and exposed me to a broader range of ideas regarding ministry and theology, nudging me out of my rut every six months for an intensive class and provoking me to read authors and subjects I wouldn't have picked up on my own. I can honestly say I'm a better pastor because of the program.
The dissertation has been the most remarkable part of the whole process. I remember sitting in the library a little over two years ago, staring at my blank laptop screen, and how the blinking cursor seemed to be mocking me because I hadn't even written the first word of my outline, much less the first word of my dissertation. How would I finish? I remember latching on to the promise that if I could find a topic I was passionate about, then I would have the fuel to finish. Over the years, you've helped me grow in my passion for the church and her multiplication, and this enabled me to move forward on the writing with hope in my heart."
Essen G. Daley, D.Min. (2012)
Pastor of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Waynesboro, VA
|"The D.Min. program at RTS Orlando offers warm-hearted professional pastoral development. It is post-graduate level study designed for practitioners. As the lead pastor in a church in London at the time, I studied for the D.Min. as a means to undergird my ministry with thorough academic rigour, integrative thinking and reformed evangelical convictions. If you are a keen to remain a "life- long learner", wishing to strengthen your ministry with deep learning and pastoral wisdom, then I strongly commend the D.Min. to you."
The Rev. Dr. Simon Vibert, D.Min. (2002)
Vice Principal and Director of the School of Preaching
Wycliffe Hall Oxford
|"I first attended RTS Orlando in 2003. I graduated with a Master of Divinity and returned to Uganda. I am so grateful to RTS Orlando for extending me another great opportunity to come and learn. The leadership skill and dynamics I will gain here will help me not only become a better leader myself, but also to train and develop leaders who have integrity on the African continent."
Kezlon Semanda, D.Min. (Current Student)
Dean, St. John's Anglican Cathedral, Kasaka, Uganda
Head of Training and Mission, Diocese of Central Buganda
M.Div., RTS Orlando, 2007
|"When I enrolled in the Doctor of Ministry program at RTS Orlando I had no idea where it would lead me. However, after more than 15 long years in pastoral ministry, I felt like I needed a fresh season of directed reading, interactive discussion, critical thinking and reflective writing on current ministry trends. This is what I got at RTS Orlando, and more. I took the courses and wrote the dissertation for my own enrichment and to benefit the ministry I had at the time. Little did I realize that, while I was reading, thinking, writing and interacting with others, God was preparing me for the next phase of my ministry. Earning a D.Min. degree opened up an unanticipated opportunity for me to serve fulltime in the area of my ministry passion: church planting. I am grateful for the expertise of the professors, the personal guidance of my advisor, and for the outcomes from my experiences in the program."
Bruce R. Finn, D.Min. (2000)
Church Planting Coordinator
Metro Philadelphia Church Planting Partnership
Richboro, PA 18954
| "While my seminary education played an important role in preparing me for gospel ministry, it did not provide me with all I needed to become the pastor I longed to be. One of the things I loved most about the D.Min. program at RTS Orlando was that it gave me the opportunity to return to school several years after I started to serve a local church. By that time, experience had taught me what my real weaknesses were and I was able to personalize my course of study to address these. The week long classes also provided me with regular periods of spiritual retreat that proved invaluable to me, my family, and the congregation. I always returned home rejuvenated. Consequently, I would recommend the D.Min. program to any pastor who would like to fine tune his ministry skills and at the same time experience spiritual renewal in the process."
Rev. Keeth Staton, D.Min. (2005)
Pastor of Springs Presbyterian Church, Dunnellon, FL
|"I recently graduated from the Doctor of Ministry program at RTS Orlando. I honestly can say that this is a tool that the Lord has used to shape both my life and my ministry in significant ways. I enrolled in the program after many years in ministry and found it to be a time of renewal for my soul and ministry. Through their theological expertise and pastoral heart, the faculty helped to reignite my passion for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and to bring a clearer focus to my vision for ministry for the rest of my life. I definitely encourage pastors seeking advanced training and life and ministry renewal to make the D.Min. program at RTS Orlando their first choice."
Rev. David Correa, D.Min. (2011)
Pastor of Jesus Presbyterian Church in Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico
Director of the Youth Ministry Institute at San Pablo Theological Seminary in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico

UCLA School of Law offers engaging classroom instruction across a wide spectrum of courses that appeal to students with disparate interests. Beyond the intellectually rich core program lie additional valuable opportunities to enhance student learning and preparation for professional pursuits. These include intensive, supervised educational experiences in the school's noted clinical offerings, coordinated courses of study found in several fields that are grouped into programs, specializations, and externships.
As a general rule, enrollment in courses at UCLA School of Law is restricted to the School's full-time, registered students. Graduate students in other UCLA departments may qualify for enrollment in advanced (non first year) law school courses on a limited basis as space is available and with instructor consent. UCLA School of Law does not offer part-time, evening or summer programs.
First Year Curriculum
The first-year curriculum corresponds to that of most leading U.S. law schools—teaching the major common law and other foundational subjects. Unlike most of its peer institutions, however, the School of Law invests major resources in our first-year Lawyering Skills course, which combines the beginning of skills training with elements of a traditional legal writing and research course. Particularly mindful of a move in legal education to provide more skill-centered experience to students, this required course provides students the opportunity to explore the relationship between legal analysis and lawyering tasks, such as effective legal writing, oral advocacy, legal research, and client interviewing and counseling. Students achieve this through course work as well as by working on simulated cases in both a courtroom and law office atmosphere. Students in the Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy take a special section of Lawyering Skills that presents skills instruction in the context of public interest practice.
The primary focus of the first year, however, remains the subjects that historically have dominated legal thought: civil procedure, constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, property, and torts. Instruction focuses on analysis of appellate cases—the traditional source of the common lawyer's understanding of the law. Instructors are likely to employ a wide range of pedagogical techniques ranging from the Socratic dialogue, to lecture, to small group discussion.
To foster a sense of community and an environment of mutual support, the first-year class is divided into sections of approximately 75-80 students. Students in each section take most of their classes together but are divided into even smaller sections for the yearlong Lawyering Skills class and one other substantive class. Faculty teaching these small sections employ teaching methods that increase participation and provide students with extensive feedback on their progress. This more intimate learning experience has long remained a source of intellectual excitement and close friendships for UCLA Law students.
Advanced Curriculum
In the second and third years, UCLA Law students may choose from a wide array of law and law-related courses, in addition to a mandatory course in Professional Responsibility and an upper-division writing requirement. Typically, these years fulfill several objectives. Some of the student's time will be taken up with basic and advanced courses, in such areas as constitutional law (freedom of speech, press, and religion, or the rights of the accused in the criminal process); courses that examine the legal framework in which society's economic life takes place (Business Associations, Federal Taxation, Labor Law); and others focusing on basic elements of the judicial process (Evidence, Remedies). The upper years also allow students to explore more specialized offerings in fields as diverse as International Law, Family Law, and Intellectual Property Law. In addition, upper class students often choose from among a variety of offerings in the Clinical Program, or pursue a coordinated course of study through the Business Law & Policy Specialization, the Critical Race Studies Specialization, the Entertainment, Media, and Intellectual Property Specialization, the Law and Philosophy Program, or the Public Interest Law and Policy Program.

Awards Watch: Week 9
Story Highlights
Thanks to 8-0 record, Matt Ryan leads MVP race, Mike Smith coach of the year
J.J. Watt, Charles Tillman, DeMarcus Ware at top of defensive player of year list
Andrew Luck's record-setting day catapults him over RGIII for top offensive rookie
The pulse of the NFL season changes weekly. Every Tuesday, SI.com will break down the front-runners for the major NFL awards.
1. Matt Ryan, Falcons (last week: 1). Ryan is flourishing under new coordinator Dirk Koetter. Among passers he ranks third in rating, fourth in touchdowns and ninth in yards. Others have better individual stats, but no one else can say they're quarterbacking the league's only undefeated team. Ryan can. He's doing an excellent job of getting the ball in the hands of his playmakers and has been unflinching in pressure situations.
Says Falcons coach Mike Smith: "The biggest thing that stands out about Matt this year is his decision-making. A lot of responsibility has been placed on his shoulders, and he's getting us into the right spots and making the correct reads."
2. J.J. Watt, Texans (2). The second-year defensive end has had at least a half sack in every game but one -- think about that for a minute -- and also has 10 deflected passes. He also talks good smack, like when he said he's eaten burritos that were bigger than Ravens running back Ray Rice.
Says an AFC scout: "He's the most disruptive defensive player in the game. He rushes the passer, he drops in coverage, he knocks down balls at the line, he plays the run. There's really nothing he doesn't do."
3. Peyton Manning, Broncos (3). Remember when we said it would take time for Manning to get on the same page with his teammates? Well, through the first half of the season he ranks first in rating and completion percentage, and is third in touchdowns and yards passing per game. If we've yet to see the best of him we might as well rename the MVP award after him because he'll walk away with his fifth overall.
Says an AFC defensive coordinator: "People questioned if he could be as good as he was before the neck surgeries. S--t! He's been better. There's nothing he hasn't seen. You can't fool him."
1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (1). The reigning MVP ranks No. 1 with 25 TD passes and is second in rating. He has led Green Bay to four consecutive wins and five in their last six games. He has done it despite the Packers having virtually no running game and their top wideouts missing games because of injuries.
Says an NFC scout: "When he's on his game he's the best quarterback in the game, period."
2. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (3). Pittsburgh has won three in a row and four of five, and their burly QB is a big reason. He's having a career year under new coordinator Todd Haley, completing a personal-best 67.1 percent of his passes for 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions. The Steelers have had injuries along their offensive line and at running back, but they continue to win largely because of the play of Roethlisberger.
Says an AFC defensive coordinator: "He made some comment about the offense being more dink and dunk, but I don't see it. He's getting the ball out quicker, which is smart because of their issues up front. It not only makes him a more effective player, but the Steelers a better offense."
3. Adrian Peterson, Vikings (NR). Less than a year removed from reconstructive knee surgery, he's leading the league in rushing and is the only back averaging more than 100 yards a game. The Seahawks had allowed only one team to rush for more than 87 yards in a game this season; Peterson had 182 on Sunday, including 144 in the first half.
Says an NFC scout: "He's just a freak, a physical freak. What he's doing is incredible."
1. J.J. Watt, Texans (1). See MVP.
2. Charles Tillman, Bears (2). His position is cornerback, but his role is playmaker. He is tied for the league lead with two defensive touchdowns and has forced a mind-boggling seven fumbles. Seven! His previous season-high was six. He also has been strong in coverage, leaving Lions standout Calvin Johnson MIA in their head-to-head matchup.
Says a Hall of Fame offensive player: "He might be the best I've ever seen at forcing fumbles. It's uncanny how he's able to do it."
3. DeMarcus Ware, Cowboys (NR). I thought long about keeping Bears cornerback Tim Jennings in this spot, but in the interest of sharing the wealth the nod goes to Ware, who's tied for second in the league with nine sacks and trails only Tillman with four forced fumbles. Dallas may be having its issues, but Ware is not the reason.
Says an NFC coach: "He just quietly goes about his business, but you better account for him or it's going to be a long afternoon."
1. Andrew Luck , Colts (2). The No. 1 overall pick continues to improve. He has helped Indianapolis to three straight wins and four in five games. On Sunday he broke the rookie record for passing yards in a game, and his four wins by comebacks in the fourth quarter or overtime match the combined total for all of this year's other rookie starters.
Says teammate Dwight Freeney: "What I like about him is his accountability. If he makes a mistakes he says, 'It's on me.' That's big because he rarely makes the same mistake twice."
2. Robert Griffin III, Redskins (1). He was my runaway winner for the award through the first quarter of the season, playing at a level worthy of league MVP consideration. However, he has accounted for only one passing touchdown the past two weeks, and has not scored on the ground in three successive games.
Says an NFC scout: "He can't do it alone, and suspect protection and an inconsistent running game are hurting him."
3. Doug Martin, Bucs (NR). In his last two outings he has run for 135 yards against the Vikings and a Bucs-record 251 against the Raiders. The man nicknamed "Muscle Hamster" leads all rookies in rushing yards per game and is second among all backs.
Says Raiders coach Dennis Allen: "When you miss tackles on him, he takes them for big gains."
1. Chandler Jones, Patriots (1). No first-year player has been as consistently disruptive as Jones, who leads all rookies in sacks (six) and forced fumbles (three).
Says an AFC scout: "He's going to be a player for years to come. Bill got it right with this one."
2. Bobby Wagner, Seahawks (3). Seattle is ranked seventh in total defense, and Wagner, a starter at middle linebacker, is second among all rookies with 72 tackles and tied for seventh with two sacks.
Says an NFC personnel exec: "He's not flashy, but he's steady. He's going to help them for a while."
3. Casey Hayward, Packers (2). Green Bay regularly seems to find a young corner who steps in as a rookie and performs well, and Hayward is the latest. The Vanderbilt alum leads all rookies and is tied for third in the league with four interceptions. He also has 32 tackles.
Says an NFC wideout: "He's raw, but you see the ability. The key is for him to stay humble and keep working."
1. Mike Smith, Falcons (1). Atlanta (8-0) is off to its best start in franchise history, and Smith is a big reason. He's tough yet fair, demanding yet understanding. His players love playing for him, and his coaches appreciate his willingness to give them great freedom.
2. Lovie Smith, Bears (2). His team is tied for the league's second-fewest losses (one), and his defense scores seemingly as often as his offense. He has the franchise poised for a playoff run.
3. Mike Tomlin, Steelers (NR). He preaches to his players that "the standard is the standard," and regardless of injuries, roster turnover or holdouts, he has his club ready to play at a high level.

I've always liked curling up and sitting on one leg when I'm relaxing, and now I'm very happy that I can sit cross-legged on my narrow armchair. Unfortunately I've still got a lot more thigh-fat to lose so I still get pins and needles!
I also need to buy new bras soon, for the second time in 5 months (Started at 38J, now in a getting-loose 36J, soon I think I'll need a 34J!). This is inconvenient because I'm still big enough in cup size to need to order them online, and pray that I've worked out the size correctly and won't have to send them back!

[USA & AMP] Foreign affairs, ATO and AMP radio contest!!
Day 1,885, 14:51 • by
Luis Nordmann
Hello fellow eAmericans,
Today we have "The Drunk Donkey" with a foreign affairs segment, AMP radio (with a contest) and ATO success!
USA aligning to CoT
So, at the beginning of this term, USA as a Nation was facing one of the toughest choices in our history: To move on into another alliance or to stay in Neutrality.
John Jay defended we should stay neutral and try to approach our biggest allies such as Brazil, Russia and Albania, on the other hand Fingerguns, our current President defended we should continue the job of the previous administration and align to CoT. Two President candidates, two different, USA was now at a crossroad in terms of diplomacy.
Many will ask what would have been the consequences if we followed one way or another, and so I will explain and make my own stand.
If we stayed Neutral, as John Jay prefered, Brazil and Russia would have likely taken a pro-TWO stance and if that happened, USA would have lost two of its biggest allies. Me personally, I'm not much fan of EDEN and I don't foresee a good future for that alliance, therefore it's not a viable option for us as a country.
Why EDEN is not viable? Simple: EDEN is with two fronts of battle, those are TWO and CoT, also we've been there before and we left. There will be a time in which EDEN's reserves will not be able to hold those countries any longer and the alliance itself will not have any other option but dissolution. After the dissolution, the countries will likely split between CoT and TWO.
Dead EDEN tree.
So, CoT gives us the stability we need and the possibility of having our greatest allies aligning to it instead of TWO. I know you'll probably contest this and say Macedonia, Bulgaria and a few other CoT countries have a doubtful sense of loyalty, maybe you are right, maybe you're wrong. Only time will tell but if you don't give a chance to them and try something new, you'll never know, will you?
No, you won't, that's why I believe we need to give the alliance and their members a chance, changes don't happen from one day to another and they require a lot of work but I do believe we can reach somewhere with CoT and keep our closest allies. So, in conclusion, we drifted into aligning into CoT due to external diplomatic pressure because we wanted to keep our closest allies.
I know many of you, specially from JCS have a pro-EDEN stance and i'm also aware many of you will probably laugh at this but in my opinion, in the current geopolitical context, USA cannot afford to have division and dissident within itself. The more dissident we have, for whatever reasons they are, the more the AFA will attempt to explore it and take advantage of that in order to PTO our country and destroy our community.
So yeah, please take a minute and consider all this, put your hate aside and be reasonable. If you have questions, you may talk to Tenshibo (current Secretary of State) or Fingerguns. Just don't close yourself to dialogue.
ATO success
So, during the 15th January, we had our Party President elections and those elections were a success. We managed to keep our parties secure and we eliminated the threat the European American Union was, releasing it back to former iNCi. I know the AFA created another European American Union and they're certainly attempting to move it up to the top 5. (Yes Ajay, we know about your so obvious plan)
As for USWP, there was some trouble in there considering AFA placed a big effort into attempting to PTO it. Too much AFA Pfeiffer hate? Maybe, but who cares? They lost and that's what matters!
Now we're looking forward to our congressionals, AMP has a new system to select our congressmen, please consult the AMP Constitution document in order to know the improvements for it.

Cobham hosted three very special guests at training on Friday, as young fans Archie Hadfield, Khy Gillespie and Ryan Kidger met their heroes.
The Community Day was arranged via the Chelsea Foundation, with the young trio and their parents watching the first team train before meeting the players afterwards for pictures and autographs.
Archie (pictured below), a six-year-old who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease this year, was joined by his dad Anthony and met all of his favourite players.
'I loved the day,' said Archie.'The best part was when I got to meet Ashley Cole and he gave me a pair of boots. It was amazing.'
'After the year Archie has had it has been amazing,' said Anthony. 'To see how human and kind the players are is brilliant and it has definitely lifted him up.'
Khy (pictured top), who is recovering from meningitis, was particularly excited to meet Frank Lampard and John Terry with both ensuring they stopped for a chat as well as posing for photos with the seven-year-old.
'The day was amazing, meeting Frank and John Terry was the best,' said Khy, who was joined by mum Zoe.
Zoe added: 'We've had such a great day. David Luiz even gave Khy his training top, which was a lovely gesture and all the players were so kind and friendly towards him.'
There was also a goalkeeping fan among the trio with Ryan (pictured below), who has orthopaedic problems, and dad Steve keeping a special eye out for Chelsea No.1 Petr Cech.
'It was a great day and the best day of my life so far!' said Ryan. 'My highlight was meeting Petr. He's my favourite player and gave me some gloves and signed them. I told him he was my favourite player and he laughed.'

Soft rain blessed the plains of the Kruger National Park over the past few weeks. The few brave guests that went on the morning game drive in the rain were rewarded with sightings of all 3 Big Cats, lion, leopard and cheetah.
I came across this leopard in an unusual tree while the soft rain was coming down. Perhaps it was getting its paws out of the muddy soils?

rfc3394 is a C# implementation of the RFC 3394 key-wrapping algorithm. The associated assembly provides two simple operations: one to wrap key data, and another to unwrap the key data. This code also includes a fairly comprehensive unit test library which, among other things, ensures that the implementation is verified against the test vectors provided in RFC 3394.
StyxLib is a .NET implementation of the Styx (9P2000) protocol for distributed systems. This protocol is used by Inferno and Plan9 OSes. It is similar to other network file systems like NFS and CIFS, but in 9P systems, files do not always represent real files on disk, but can instead be interfaces to physical devices or programs.
Asbru Web Content Management is an easy-to-use and inexpensive Web content management system. It runs on most major Web platform operating systems, databases, Web servers, and scripting languages. It is available in three editions: Personal (for individuals), Professional (for organizations), and Hosting (for Web hosting service providers).
CryptSharp provides a number of password crypt algorithms: BCrypt, MD5 (and Apache's htpasswd variant), PHPass (WordPress, phpBB, Drupal), SHA256, SHA512, and Traditional and Extended DES. It also includes Blowfish, SCrypt, and PBKDF2 for any HMAC (.NET's built-in PBKDF2 implementation supports only SHA-1). If you are looking to store passwords, odds are CryptSharp will have the algorithm you want.
NetIRC2 is an easy-to-use .NET IRC client library. It supports all major features relevant to making a chat client or bot. It has full support for synchronization contexts. You can use it from a Windows Forms or WPF GUI thread and chat events will be automatically dispatched, allowing you to completely ignore multithreading. It uses byte arrays internally, so mixed encodings can be handled. The IrcClient class can even be used as a component in the Forms Designer. Because it speeds up connect times with some IRC servers, an Ident server is included as well.

I have just installed a AO smith gas water heater. All my water lines are 3/4 inch copper. The Tank came with 2 dielectric close nipples with no mention in the installation instructions.
My old tank of 15 years had the copper 3/4 male fitting screwed directly into the top of the tank with no problems.
Question : Should I now use the nipples directly into the top of the new tank and then get a female copper fitting to screw directly onto the nipples or should I just thread the male copper fitting into the tank like it was in the previous install and throw the nipples away?
A web search shows installs both ways.

A blonde and the lottery
A blonde woman named Brandi finds herself in dire trouble. Her business has gone bust and she's in serious financial trouble. She's so desperate that she decides to ask God for help.
She begins to pray..."God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto."
Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Brandi again prays ..."God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well."
Lotto night comes and Brandi still has no luck. Once again, she prays..."My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order."
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Brandi is confronted by the voice of God Himself: "Brandi, meet Me halfway on this. Buy a ticket."
here's another one (not blonde)
The grey was once blonde
A farmer named Tom was driving his pickup truck, had an accident and was in court, suing the trucking company whose driver was accused of causing the accident. Their fancy lawyer was questioning Tom. "Didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer. Tom responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the . ."
I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!?"
Tom said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road . . " The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Tom's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie".
Tom thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman
came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feeling?'
"Now what the hell would you say?"
I did not see the first one, but a lot of us down here feel like the polar bear daily.

Economic freedom in North AmericaDecember 26,2013Since 2002, the Fraser Institute of British Columbia has published nine editions of its report on The Economic Freedom of North America. This now widely-known report assesses a composite variable called economic freedom in each of the 50 U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces.
The data used to compile the index for states and provinces covers three main areas: the size of government and its spending in relation to the gross domestic product (value of goods and services); tax rates and revenue; and labor market freedom. The index also includes three additional factors the same for all states within each country: legal system and property rights, sound money and freedom to trade internationally.
Using the world-adjusted subnational government index for overall economic freedom, Vermont falls into 55th place among the 60 states and provinces. It is followed by New York and three Canadian provinces. The economic freedom winners are Alberta and Saskatchewan, followed by Delaware, Texas and Nevada.
What keeps Vermont from sinking all the way to the bottom is its relatively high scores for a free credit market (competitive banking sector) and, perhaps surprisingly to some, its relatively low sales tax revenue (since 2003, a 6 percent rate, with exemptions for food and most clothing).
At the subnational level where differences in national policies are not taken into account Vermont ranks 53rd. New Hampshire, where many Vermonters shop without paying a sales tax, ranked 11th in this index. Beneath Vermont came New York and five provinces.
At the very bottom came Quebec, the province with the most aggressive and inclusive single-payer health-care system. This certainly makes one wonder about Gov. Peter Shumlins frequent assurances that installing single-payer health care here will produce an economic boom.
Big government advocates will challenge the reports methodology and findings. They tend to regard economic freedom not so much as the source of a societys wealth, but as an annoying nuisance requiring constant reduction in scope. The report also omits noneconomic features of a society, such as quality of life, clean environment, public safety, community values and the like. Add these into the rankings, they say, and Vermont will shoot up, which is probably true.
They will also excitedly point out that the American coauthor, Dr. Dean Stansel, is a free market economist, and the report was supported by the libertarian Charles Koch Foundation and the Searle Freedom Trust. That might account for the criteria used, but the actual data come from public sources.
The summary observations of the report are worth reading in full, especially for policymakers and citizens in 55th ranking Vermont:
The results of the experiments of the 20th century should now be clear: free economies produce the greatest prosperity in human history for their citizens. Even poverty in these economically free nations would have been considered luxury in unfree economies. This lesson was reinforced by the collapse of centrally planned states and, following this, the consistent refusal of their citizens to return to central planning, regardless of the hardships on the road to freedom.
Among developing nations, those that adopted the centrally planned model have only produced lives of misery for their citizens. Those that adopted the economics of competitive markets have begun to share with their citizens the prosperity of advanced market economies.
Restrictions on freedom prevent people from making mutually beneficial transactions. Such free transactions are replaced by government action. This is marked by coercion in collecting taxes and lack of choice in accepting services: Instead of gains for both parties arising from each transaction, citizens must pay whatever bill is demanded in taxes and accept whatever service is offered in return.
In some ways, it is surprising the debate still rages, because the evidence and theory favoring economic freedom match intuition: It makes sense that the drive and ingenuity of individuals will produce better outcomes through the mechanism of mutually beneficial exchange than the designs of a small coterie of government planners, who can hardly have knowledge of everyones values and who, being human, are likely to consider first their own well-being and that of the constituencies they must please when making decisions for all of us.
Let us hope that during the next few years Vermont policymakers and citizens will come to appreciate that economic freedom leads to prosperity, which is something very much worth having.

Does anyone have any information on best to place or places (price-wise) to purchase EAS nutritional products - primarily Myoplex? I have asked this on a different thread several months back, but got very little or no response. Sam's Club where I live only carries the ready-to-drink variety of Myoplex, which I do have some of already. But, I am looking (more specifically) to purchase the Myoplex packets, bars, and other nutritional supplements.
Thanks in advance.
Best place I've found is Bodybuilding.com.
Thanks! I'll check that out. Someone told me Amazon at the gym. Anyone order from there? Guess I can compare the Bodybuilding.com and Amazon prices.
I've used Amazon for EAS products, worked great!
The often mentioned big box stores like Wmart and Trgt also have many of the EAS products on their shelves as well. Hope this helps you out some too!!
Amazon has good prices for 24 packs of RTD shakes and powders but I often find them on sale at GNC.com and more often than not get bars from Target (summer in MO means shipping chocolate is a messy operation).
I can get my EAS protein and Myoplex from Publix grocery store
I'm mainly looking for the Myoplex packets (mix) in strawberry or chocolate. I checked my entire town (Sam's, Target, Wal-Mart, and the grocery stores) and no one carries them. Sam's, Target, and Wal-Mart carry the ready-to-drinks, but I'd rather have the powder packets (mix). Amazon has some, but I think they are out of those flavors right now. Kind of having trouble finding them. I don't shop online much, so anyone with any advice/recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
I haven't found a GNC that carries Myoplex anymore. I think Sam's and Wal Mart have the RTD, but the prices are still a bit much for buying in quantity. Supplement Warehouse online usually has good prices and I'll put another vote in for BB.com. They often have the best prices.

Canvas Mary Janes
By Trish
from Somerset, PA
Ordered these in my normal size 10 and they were too small, fit more like a 9. Re-ordered them in a size 11 and they are still too small with my toes rubbing! Cheaper to keep them then to send them back. Will not order shoes again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cute little shoe!
By Midwest Cathy

Cute shoe for casual summertime wear. Looks nice with skirts and dresses. Not good for much walking or standing for long periods as it provides no support.

Bought for my mother, she has severe arthritis, and bunion not easy to find shoes for her. These were perfect. Soft, did not bother bunion. Wore all day with no problem. Will be on lookout for other colors.
