As you all know Im redoing a 1948. It needs a complete wiring harness from front to back.
Where is a good place to get a harness that is good quality for your buck. I like the cloth wrap better than the plastic wrap. The last one I bought was for my Demo. I forget where I bought the harness.

house rental amenities
Most rentals offer you the basics, but, we believe, the difference is in the details.
Our part of Florida is made up of a unique combination of pines and
palms growing in very sandy soil. A bald eagle pair nest each year
just down the road. Wildlife abounds because this area is still
only lightly developed; yet, all the conveniences are relatively
close at hand. There are some incredible restaurants that serve
only the freshest of fish. Even non-seafood eaters learn to enjoy
this area�s bounty from the sea. About 10 miles to the East is
Appalachicola which is famous throughout the world for its oysters.
Try some lightly steamed or raw, they are incredible. Scallops and
shrimp are harvested from the Gulf daily. You just can�t get any
fresher. We provide you with a list of local restaurants along with
a very candid critique of our dining experiences there.
There just is not a better view of the Gulf anywhere. A 180 degree
sweep of the horizon from the Gulf-view balcony encompasses several
miles of deserted white-sand beaches gently yielding to the blue
Gulf waters. Dolphins lazily swim by while gulls, cranes and
pelicans search for fish. Shrimp trawlers, boats and sailboats can
sometimes be seen in the far distance. Fluffy white clouds stream
slowly by against a deep-blue sky. Many times bright lightening and
dark thunder clouds can be seen in the distance while the sun shines
brightly where you sit. Dusk brings incredible sunsets. And, at
night, you will not believe the number of stars that can be seen;
even the milky way is visible.
Our extra-wide ramp takes you to the hard sand of the beach. Wading
and swimming from our beach is very pleasant. The sandy bottom
gently slopes for hundreds of feet before you can no longer touch
bottom. Waves vary from small to giant depending upon the wind and
weather. You can become a skilled sandcastle builder if you are so
inclined. Occasionally a turtle (very protected) will build her
nest along our beach and baby turtles can be seen scampering toward
a full moon after hatching.
You can place and order for groceries with our staff for the cost of
the groceries and a small handling charge. Your pantry will then be
stocked and waiting for your arrival.
Daily maid service is available for an additional $35 a day. Daily
service includes sweeping floors, making beds, hanging towels,
garbage removal, kitchen counter wipe and a quick dusting. For an
additiona charge, your dishes, pots and pans can be cleaned and
stored away. Laundry service is available although you have a super-
capacity washer with 9 wash cycles and a double rinse cycle to
insure that your clothers come out clean and soap free, super-
capacity dryer with six drying cycles, iron and board in the laundry
room just off the kitchen.
Any other reasonable service may be available for an additional
charge. Just let us know what you require and we will do our best
to provide it.
Although you will probably not have time to watch TV, we do provide
150-Channel cable in each bedroom and great room. Bedroom wall-
mounted flat-screen TVs have built in DVD players. WIFI internet
access is provided.
The house is designed with a central hall or greatroom that faces
the Gulf. A full wall of windows affords stunning Gulf views from
the kitchen, dining room and living room. Italian porcelain tile
floors throughout. Granite covered kitchen counter tops sparkle in
deep midnight blue with pearl shimmers. Brushed nickel pendant
lights illuminate the peninsula. Pure white cabinets with brushed
nickel pulls are roomy and include a butlers pantry and built in
garbage container. Disposal, dishwasher, side-by-side refridgerator
with child lock and a GE water filtration system that delivers clean
great-tasting water and ice through the in-the-door light touch
dispenser. Self-cleaning super-large electric range and oven .
Over-the-stove microwave has an outside venting system that removes
smoke and steam from the cooktop.
Kitchens are fully equipped with top-of-the-line products.
� KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 10-Piece Brushed Stainless-
Steel Cookware Set
� KitchenAid Gourmet Essentails Hard Anodized Nonstick 8-Inch
Open French Skillet
� Calphalon Nonstick 6-Piece Bakeware Set
� Henckels International Everedge 13-Piece Knife Set with
Cheese Knife
� Cuisinart CHM-3 Electronic Hand Mixer 3 Speed, Blender.
� Measuring cups, liquid and dry. Measuring spoons.
Cullindar. Various mixing bowls and utensils. Pannini/griddle and much more.
The dining room is located in the center of the central hall.
Seating for 6 is provided at the round wood and glass table
surrounded by intricately carved dining chairs. An additional three
dolphin seats are near by at the granite coverd kitchen peninsula.
Ocean blue thin ceramic dinnerware with bamboo placemats are
provided for that touch of the tropics. Bamboo napkins and pebble
napkin rings add a casual elegance to your dinner service. Ceramic
and glass coffee mugs are coordinated with the dinner service
flanked by various sized wine and water glasses. Hobnail stainless
flatware completes the place setting. Service for twelve.
The living room includes a full-sized hobnail trimmed leather couch
flanked by two matching leather love seats providing ample
conversation room for you and all your guests. A large glass coffee
table sits atop a pure wool accent rug in sunset colors. Dolphin
aluminum end tables and behind the couch table provide extra space
for your after-dinner coffee cups. A flat-screen TV with DVD player
is ready for group viewings.
On each floor we have three master bedrooms with their own attached
bath. Each of the three master bedrooms measures 12x14 and contains
a Kingsize bed (see below for bed details). A flat-screen TV with
built in DVD makes your bedroom viewing pleasant. The front two
master bedrooms have full-wall windows that face the Gulf and
sliding doors open to the porch. Wake up to the pleasant sound of
surf and seagulls. The third master bedroom faces a quiet pine and
palm forest and also overlooks the nicely landscaped entry yard
complete with fountain.
One of the Gulf-facing bedrooms is equipped with everything needed
for the disabled person�s comfort. This bedroom/bath combination is
especially designed for handicapped access and will provide a
pleasant vacation experience for disabled or elderly persons. It is
equipped with:
� Sliding pocket door to the bathroom for easy wheelchair
� Handicapped sink and mirror.
� Low-rise shower with a swivel seat transfer bench.
� Toilet seat riser.
� Low towel bars for easy reach from a wheelchair.
� Wall-mounted grab bars at toilet and shower.
The Platform Beach Wheelchair Dolly introduces a �new era� in beach
accessibility for the disabled guest. The Platform Dolly permits
your wheelchair to cross sand, grass, dirt, and difficult terrain.
Users remain in the comfort of their own wheelchair. Using "fatso
beach wheelchair tires" the Platform Dolly allows safe and secure
wheelchair transport over most anything. Includes lockable brake
system. See photo below.
The fourth bedroom contains two double bunk beds � a total of four
twin beds - and is designed for children or young adults. Of
course, adults can use this room too. There is ample room to play
and run video games (gaming machines not included) on the flat-
screen TV with built in DVD.

Boating and fishing have had thousands of years to develop a special language to describe actions and equipment. To help you understand the terminology, and to perhaps make reading Sport Fishing's boating articles more rewarding, we offer you our Boaters' Lexicon. Feel free to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with any terms you question in the future.
ABEAM - At a 90-degree angle from the centerline of a boat.
AMIDSHIPS (also midships) - In the center of a vessel; either with reference to her length or to her beam.
ATHWARTSHIPS - Across the length of a vessel; as opposed to fore-and-aft.
BELOWDECKS - An enclosed area lower than the main deck. Often houses living and sleeping accommodations.
BIAXIAL FIBERGLASS - Construction material consisting of fiberglass strands woven in two directions.
BILGE - The area between the bottom of the hull and the lowest floor of the boat.
BOLSTERS - Cushioned pads usually covered with vinyl, placed on the gunwales and coamings so anglers can lean or brace themselves comfortably.
BOW - The pointy end or front of a boat.
BRIDGE DECK - An area between the cockpit and the cabin. The helm is found here on express, walkaround and cuddy boats.
BRIGHT WORK - Varnished woodwork.
BULKHEAD - A vertical wall dividing the hull into separate compartments. Some are watertight. In case of an accident at sea, watertight bulkheads confine seawater to one compartment. A collision bulkhead (in the bow) withstands heavy strain and shock in case the bow is breached.
BULWARK - A solid rail or low wall extending from the hull side upward to prevent boaters and gear from going overboard.
CENTERLINE - The lengthwise line through the longest part of a hull.
CHINE - The point along the length of a boat where the hull side meets the bottom.
COAMINGS - The vertical and horizontal surfaces inboard of the hull at the gunwale.
COMPANIONWAY - A narrow passage, usually leading to belowdecks spaces.
CONSOLE - The dash panel or center structure holding the helm and navigation electronics.
COMPOSITE - A non-fiberglass, non-organic addition to a laminate for strength without weight.
CRASH PUMP - A hose attached to a Y-valve, thence to the engine raw-water intake. In a sinking emergency, it uses the engine as a bilge pump.
CUDDY - A small cabin in the forward part of a boat.
DEADRISE - The angle of a boat bottom, measured from zero horizontal degrees. We quote the angle at the transom.
DISPLACEMENT - The weight of the water displaced by the vessel.
DIVINYCELL - A common core material made of rigid PVC foam with a closed, inert gas-filled cellular structure.
DRAFT - The minimum depth of water required to float a vessel.
EPOXY - A two-part polymer resin used for coatings and adhesives. A chemical reaction takes place between the resin and a hardener, which are mixed just before use. As the reaction takes place, the mixture hardens and binds.
FREEBOARD - The area of hull between the waterline and the gunwale. Also called topsides.
GELCOAT - The glossy outermost layer of a fiberglass boat. Protects laminate from water intrusion and allows for colored hulls.
GUNWALE - (Pronounced gun-nuhl) T-flat cap over the junction of hull and liner of a boat.
HELM - The machinery by which a vessel is steered, including the rudder, tiller, wheel, etc.
ISLAND BERTH - A bed in a cabin with access on three sides.
JOINERY (joinerwork) - The carpentry used in a vessel, most usually cabinetry, bulkheads and trim.

Southend United's Luke Prosser: We can't blame our injuries for defeat against Cheltenham Town
4:13pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Sport By Chris Phillips
SOUTHEND United's stand-in captain Luke Prosser refused to blame his side's mounting injury list as an excuse for last night's 2-1 defeat against Cheltenham Town at Roots Hall.
Blues were missing Chris Barker, Ryan Cresswell, Mark Phillips, Gavin Tomlin and Michael Timlin for the crucial clash with the Robins, and midfielder Marc Laird also limped off midway through the second half.
But Prosser felt Blues could still have taken something from the game.
"We can't use the injuries as an excuse because these things happen and the 11 players we had out there were still good enough for us to win the match," said Prosser.
"We started slowly though and gave away two sloppy goals which killed us.
"Cheltenham didn't create too many chances and we were far better in the second half.
"If we had started the game like that then we would have taken something from it.
"We're all very disap-pointed, but now we have to bounce back for what is another important and very hard game against Northampton Town here on Saturday."
Cheltenham's winning goal was scored by boyhood Blues fan Paul Benson and left Southend ninth in the League Two table.

14-week roadworks in Northwich will complete the gyratory
3:00pm Friday 13th June 2014 in News By Gina Bebbington , Chief Reporter
ROADWORKS will start again in Northwich town centre on June 23 and are set to last for 14 weeks.
The works are the final phase to make the one-way system permanent.
They will start at the junctions of Chesterway with Crum Hill and with Watling Street, near Seafarer, and then at the junction of Dane Street and Watling Street at the Bull Ring.
Road layouts will change to reflect the temporary system currently in place and new traffic signals and pedestrian crossings will be installed.
The Bull Ring will also be regenerated to include public realm materials that will match the stone used in the recently reconstructed surface of Witton Street.
Temporary traffic signals will be in operation for the majority of the works.
Resurfacing works will take place at night under road closures, details of which will be advertised in advance nearer the time.
Richard Flood, area highways manager for Cheshire West and Chester Council, said: "The gyratory system has been introduced to support the major regeneration of the town centre, notably Barons Quay, Hayhurst Quay and Memorial Court.
"The final phase of construction will involve a link to a computer system to allow the traffic to flow freely in and around Northwich, whilst providing safe crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists."
The scheme is jointly funded by the Department for Transport and Cheshire West and Chester Council.
It will be constructed by AE Yates Ltd.
Once roadworks are complete measures will be put in place to make the gyratory more cycle friendly.
These are expected to include footpath conversions to shared use as well as toucan crossings, advanced stop lines and trixie mirrors.
Cycle racks will also be installed in and around the town centre.

"... good sources of information" is correct. However, you will hear the first if for some reason the speaker is counting "friends and the local paper" as one single thing. That is unlikely, though, so the plural is better.

Post-WWII, the US was rebuilding its economy and moving (haltingly and often painfully) towards social change. The dynamism and simultaneous retreat to more conservative times are both apparent in the era's styles, which veer wildly from rockabilly hair to pixie cuts and primly waved bobs. It was a time of great change and style to match, so check out some of the decade's most prominent highlights. Source: 20th Century Fox, Corbis Images Lucille Ball What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lucille Ball popularized the poodle cut, which gave women with curly hair a style advantage, and her strawberry blond style is still instantly recognizable. Source: Columbia Pictures 1 / 13 Rita Moreno What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After her iconic turn as Anita in West Side Story, Rita Moreno spent a decade turning down roles that tried to pigeonhole her as a sexy spitfire. Her hairstyle for the film, though, still signals bombshell appeal. Source: MGM 2 / 13 James Dean What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We all have James Dean to thank for pompadours. The tragically hip young actor made greased-up, slightly messy hair sexy for men and created a bad boy archetype that's lasted long after his untimely death. Source: Warner Bros. 3 / 13 Bettie Page What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thick, short Bettie Page bangs with long, straight black hair are still a staple style for women, especially those with a love of vintage looks. Source: Getty 4 / 13 Grace Kelly What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Grace's dramatic side part and long bob have been copied over and over again by generations of women, and her cool blond shade is as coveted today as it was 50 years ago Source: Paramount Pictures 6 / 13 Audrey Hepburn What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like Audrey Tautou after her, Audrey Hepburn's baby bangs and gamine hair started a huge trend. When we think of pixie cuts, we still think of Audrey. Source: Paramount Pictures 6 / 13 Elizabeth Taylor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Unlike the Audrey Hepburn pixie, Elizabeth Taylor's short style was all about volume. When she stormed onto the screen as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, her character's modernity was conveyed as much by her hair as by her lines. Source: MGM 7 / 13 Connie Francis What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Connie Francis was one of the biggest voices of the 1950s, recording hits like "Where the Boys Are" and "Who's Sorry Now?". Her impressive bouffant hair was similarly influential, creating a craze for the style among teen girls. Source: Getty 8 / 13 Dorothy Dandridge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dorothy Dandridge's soft ringlets provided a prim alternative to big hair like Connie Francis and Elizabeth Taylor's. Source: 20th Century Fox 9 / 13 Sophia Loren What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the late 1950s, gorgeous Italian import Sophia Loren arrived on American shores with a dramatic European bouffant. Women in the United States would soon adopt the look. Source: Corbis Images 11 / 13 Billie Holiday What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It was very rare to see jazz singer Billie Holiday perform without her iconic flower tucked into her style in some way. This feminine and noteworthy hair accessory is still one of the more distinguished looks in the music industry. Source: Corbis Images 11 / 13 Eartha Kitt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Eartha Kitt hit it big in 1953 with her song "Santa Baby." She also showed off one of the era's most fashionable hairstyles: short, voluminous waves created with a hot comb and rollers. Source: Sony Pictures Classics 12 / 13 Marilyn Monroe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's Marilyn Monroe; what else is there to say?

This is an awesome changing corner to splitter; in the same aesthetic league as Broken Brain or The Optimator. The plaque at the base gives it a 13a, which it would be if you have really big hands. For us average hands folk, I believe it is around 12c for endurance. Even more so than most Indian Creek routes, there are really no hard moves on this route.
maybe 100 yards to the left, and around a prow from the Fatted Calf/SC Memorial area.
FRIENDS SIZES -- (2) #1, (6) #1.5, (7) #2, (3) #3. Green camalots seemed to work the best in the headwall, and were almost a bit tipped out. So 1.5 friends may be too small, but 2 friends were definitely a little big.

Apple has told a Norwegian regulator that it will not change its
policy of locking iTunes purchases so that they can only be played
on its iPod devices. Consumer activists who have read the company's
response to a case against describe it as 'unmovable'.03 Aug 2006
The Norwegian Consumer Ombudsman could rule the iTunes software illegal in Norway in a case whose result is likely to be followed in Sweden and Denmark. Apple had until 21st June to respond to the Ombudsman's move but asked for a new deadline of 1st August, which it met.
In its submission, which is in Norwegian, Apple says that its digital rights management (DRM) systems are governed by copyright legislation and not consumer protection legislation, and is therefore "outside the Council's area of competence", according to Forbrukerradet, the Consumer Council of Norway. It was the Consumer Council that first brought the case against Apple.
"Apple seem unmovable," said Torgeir Waterhouse, senior advisor with the Council. "It seems clear to us that iTunes intend to continue their unfair practice of using the DRM as lock-in technology under the cover of being a copy-protection only scheme."
"The position they're signalling now is the direct opposite of the consumer friendly attitude [Apple chief executive] Steve Jobs put forward in 2002 when he told MacWorld that 'If you legally acquire music, you need to have the right to manage it on all other devices that you own'," Waterhouse told OUT-LAW.
The Ombudsman had ruled on two issues: the locking out of non-Apple devices and the terms and conditions attached to iTunes. The Ombudsman, whose decisions have the status of court rulings, said that the terms of agreement with iTunes were unreasonable with regard to the Norwegian Marketing Control Act. It said that Norwegian, not English, law must govern the agreements and that iTunes cannot disclaim liability for damage done to machines by its software.
On those questions Apple was more prepared to change its practices. "We're pleased with their willingness to alter the terms and conditions in an attempt to make them more understandable for regular consumers," said Waterhouse. "This is of course an obvious move and it remains to see how well this actually turns out in making the terms readable and understandable for regular consumers."
Apple requested that some of its response be kept private, and some of its letter has been blacked out before being published.
"We find that iTunes Music Store so far have only signalled an intent to resolve some of the issues in the Norwegian Consumer Council's original complaint," said Waterhouse. "This leads to what most probably will be a long struggle ahead of us to balance the terms of the digital marketplace for all involved parties. We're at the beginning of the struggle and still have a long way to go."

The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter TwoThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Two: Giving In Spike was walking along the streets of Ponyville with one arm around Twilight. They both kept looking over at each other with about the same grin on their faces."You know what I can't believe?" asked Spike."What?" replied Twilight."That it took me so long to realize it.""Realize what?""That you were the one." Twilight could feel tears of joy beginning to form in her eyes, but before she could let one escape, she closed her eyes and kissed Spike. She couldn't help but cry; after all that was the nicest thing anypony, or dragon, had ever said to her. After a moment Twilight pulled away and said "Spike, you have no idea how much I love you."Spike lifted up a hand and slowly began to wipe away Twilight's tears. "Trust me. I'm pretty sure I love you more." Twilight chuckled slightly and sniffled. Suddenly she threw her hoo
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter FourThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Four: Changes Twilight slowly opened her eyes and groggily sat up in her bed. She let out a light yawn as she looked over to where Spike should be sleeping. To her surprise, the young dragon was nowhere to be seen, and what surprised her even more was the fact that his bed was already made. 'This is
Different' she thought."Spike?" called the lavender mare.Her only reply was silence. "Spi-" she began to call again, but quickly she realized where he must be. A slight frown began to form on her face as she let out a soft sigh. 'He's at Rarity's house' she thought, 'I guess I really did upset him last night.' Slowly the lavender unicorn began to trot towards the door, with the same depressed look on her face. As she walked, her sad eyes never left the ground. "I'm sorry Spike," she whispered. Suddenly, a scent of lemon and toast
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter SixThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Six: Accidents A young lavender mare was sitting in the library, looking over one of her books, when her scaly friend came walking over to her. He wasn't interested in conversation, he wasn't interested in reading, he just wanted to be near the mare which he cared for so much."Hey Twilight," Spike said with a smile.Quickly, the lavender unicorn looked up to him and returned the smile. "Hey Spike, what is it?""Oh nothing," Spike said as he sat down. "I just wanted to be with my best friend in the world."Twilight couldn't help but blush. "What has gotten into you Spike? It's like you're a completely different dragon."Spike made a slightly mischievous grin. "Is that necessarily a bad thing?""Oh no. I love it, but I just want to know what's making you act like this.""It's nothing really. I'm just glad to be seeing you more often.""Well that's kind of obvious," smirked Twilight.Spike jokingly rolled his eyes. "So wha
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter SevenThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Seven: Coming Clean Pinkie Pie burst through the doors of the library and instantly began her search for Twilight. "Twi?" she called as she poked her head into the kitchen. Seeing that it was empty, Pinkie Pie decided to check upstairs next. "Twilight?" she called as she bolted up the stairs. The pink furred pony then stuck her head into Twilight's bedroom. "Twilight are you
" Her voice trailed off when she cast her gaze upon the lavender mare. She was sitting on her bed with a small book open on her lap. Occasionally a teardrop would land on the page she was reading. The pink coated pony slowly began to trot over to her lavender friend, until she was standing right in front of her. Twilight seemed to pay no mind to the extra presence in the room; she only seemed to focus on her book."Twilight?" Pinkie asked softly, "What happened?"The lavender unicorn sl
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter FiveThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Five: Small Moments Spike was upstairs putting the finishing touches on his suit. 'Stupid tie!' he thought as he muddled with it."Spike, are you coming?" called Twilight from downstairs."Just a second," replied the young dragon. As Spike continued to play with the knots, he eventually found one that worked. "Finally," he said to himself. Not wanting to waste any more time than he already had, Spike turned and ran out of the bedroom. Instantly he looked down the steps to see Twilight looking up at him with a surprised expression on her face. She was wearing a red dress, a pearl necklace, and her mane was curled.Spike's eyes widened as he looked at his lavender friend. "Wow," they both said quietly."You look amazing Twilight."The lavender mare smiled and did her best to hide a blush. "You look great yourself Spike
So, shall we head out?""We
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter OneThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter One: Forgetting Love Spike was sitting in the corner of his and Twilight's bedroom, angrily writing in his journal. Small fire plumes emanated from each nostril as his quill threatened to rip the page to pieces with each strike."How can she do this to me?! After all I've done for her she goes and does this! It's like she just wants to see me get hurt. That fat, insensitive, cow!" Suddenly, in a burst of anger, the little dragon took his book and launched it across the room. Spike had never been this mad in his life; even that time everypony kept babying him paled in comparison to this. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to torch the whole library, but he just sat there; holding an explosion of anger inside."Spike? Are you okay?" asked a familiar and somewhat soothing voice. The little dragon's head instantly shot up to see his lavender frie
The Twilight's of Spike's Heart Chapter EightThe Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter Eight: The End of a Beginning As Twilight and Spike walked back to the library, the young dragon just seemed to have one question on his mind. "But do you like me too?" asked Spike. Twilight giggled slightly. "Yes Spike, for the fiftieth time yes." "But you said you loved me. Does that mean you like me or you like me as a friend or maybe you-" Spike's seemingly endless babbling was quickly cut short when Twilight suddenly planted a quick kiss on his lips. "Does that answer the question, Spike?" Twilight asked with a warm smile. As soon as Twilight's lips met his, Spike froze. The only sign of life in his shocked face was a quickly growing blush. After a few more seconds the purple dragon spoke. "Uhhhhhhh, yes?" Twilight couldn't help but giggle at Spike's innocent answer. "Okay then. Shall we continue back to the library now?
Learning to Forgive Chapter Two (OLD VERSION)Learning to ForgiveChapter Two: You're Not Alone Through the cool night air trotted two regal Alicorns, one lavender the other pink. Each was sporting the most exquisite gowns in all of Canterlot. They giggled and laughed as they talked about their prior meeting with the zebras and Hooviets. It was quite obvious they were most pleased with the outcome. "Did you see the look on that Zebra's face?" giggled Cadence. Twilight let out a laugh. "When I stood up, I thought he was about to wet himself! And look who's talking Mrs. We will end all trade!" The pink Alicorn rolled her eyes. "Well it got his attention, didn't it?" Twilight chuckled a little. "Wow, we really should have become actresses instead. We'd make a killing!" Cadence smiled to Twilight before looking to a guard standing at the castle gates. Instantly, he stepped fo
Learning to Forgive: Chapter One (OLD VERSION)Learning to ForgiveChapter One: A Shattered PastSix Years Ago- A teenage dragon stared out of the window overlooking the Manehatten skyline. A grim look painted upon his face. How he desperately wished to go back to Ponyville, to see his friends, to live the way he used to, and above all to be happy. He smiled slightly thinking of the days he would spend playing with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Remembering how one day he and Scootaloo had attempted to go zip lining. Of course their attempt didn't exactly end the way they had wished, but they still enjoyed their time together nonetheless. Then another thought appeared. A thought of a pony he hadn't seen in ages; Rarity. How he would always find himself day dreaming of her and how kind she was. Finally he remembered the day Twilight became an Alicorn; the beginning of the end. Slowly a tear rolled down Spike's face. "I'm back, Spike," called the familiar and cheerful voice of his friend.

Youthful Expression Ch.5Youthful ExpressionWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 5: Ain't Talkin' 'Bout LoveThe Saturday sun rose into the sky to wake Ponyville and its inhabitants for a brand new day. In the library, Spike was helping Twilight organize the library as they did every weekend. While his hands were busy putting books back up on shelves, Spike's mind was elsewhere. He was thinking of a certain yellow filly that had fully fallen head over hooves for. Lost in his daydreaming, he didn't hear the knock at the door.Annoyed, Twilight walked to the door to answer it, "Oh, it's okay Spike, I'll get the door. It wasn't like I wasn't busy moving tables and desks with my magic. Nope, not at all," the purple mare said with an extreme sarcastic tone. She opened the door to a white unicorn with a deep purple mane, styled into perfect curls. "Oh, hello Rarity. What brings you here today?"Rarity smiled to her fellow unicorn, "Oh Twilight, I was wondering if I could possibly borrow Spike from y
Youthful Expression: EpilogueYouthful ExpressionWritten by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Epilogue: Home"Spike! Hurry up!" Twilight Sparkle's motherly tone echoed throughout the library, "You're date will be here any minute!""I'm hurrin'!" the purple dragon shouted back with a hint of anxiety in his voice, "You try putting clothing on with small wings, then we'll talk!" Spike was trying to put a black jacket on, but his newly grown wings made Spike look like he had a hunchback with the coat on."Never mind about the coat, Spike, it won't get cold tonight," the purple mare informed him as she walked up the stairs to see her assistant struggle with the article of clothing. She used her magic to pull the jacket away from Spike, "Besides, you haven't been able to wear that coat for a while and since you are in the middle of your growth-spurt, you are going to grow more.""Ugh, more than just pesky wings?" Spike looked at himself in a nearby mirror, moving the wings on his back slowly."Oh, very much so!," Twilig
Plush Ch.1PlushWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 1: Can't Hardly WaitIt was a bright and sunny morning in Ponyville. Celestia's sun was warming up the town and the citizens that were already outside. One particular citizen was dashing his way across the town excitedly. It was Spike. The dragon was given the day off from Twilight Sparkle and he knew exactly how he wanted to spend it: helping Rarity at her shop. The small dragon was running as fast as his small legs could move to the Carousel Boutique. Upon reaching the porch, he rang the doorbell and waited patiently yet eagerly.The door opened to reveal a small white unicorn with a pink and light purple mane. It wasn't Rarity, but her little sister, Sweetie Belle. "Oh, hello, Spike. You come by to help with the dress-making again?" Sweetie Belle welcomed the purple dragon warmly.Spike nodded, "Yup, since Twilight gave me the day off, I figured I could be of some help.""I'm sure my sister would be happy to have some help,
Youthful Expression Ch.2Youthful ExpressionWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 2: One Tree HillThe long school day was finally drawing to a close for all the students in Cheerilee's class. All the ponies (and Spike) went outside and began to chat amongst themselves before leaving. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were talking and laughing as among themselves as two prissy fillies showed themselves."Well, well, it looks like the blank flanks got themselves a pet," one of them said.The four turned to see two ponies, one pink and the other gray. It was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."Oh dear, not them," Sweetie Belle thought aloud."Don't you two have somepony else to annoy?" Scootaloo had a large amount of distaste in her voice."Nope, just your's. Aren't you lucky?" Silver Spoon said with a hint of sass in her voice."So, is this dragon belong to you girls or did you have to steal him?" Diamond Tiara trotted up to Spike, looking at him with interest. Spike gave her an odd look as he was

.?" Applebloom's voice was slightly distorted as she was having trouble speaking. Tears gathered into her eyes and slowly rolled down her eyes. She tried to speak something else, but she was unable to. At that, she turned and ran off from the group. She couldn't bear to be around them right then.As she watched the yellow filly run off, Sweetie Belle kept her calm. "Well, I see how it really is now, Spike
." her voice sounded the same save a small hint of distress, "I'll see myself away now." Standing up off the ground, Sweetie Belle walked off in the same direction as Applebloom before pausing and trotting back the opposite direction
Plush Ch.3PlushWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 3: Give It AllThe next day, Spike returned to the Carousel Boutique brimming with confidence. Sweetie Belle had challenged the dragon to admit his feelings to Rarity, and he felt like he could conquer the world and Rarity's heart. Knocking on the door of the shop, a familiar unicorn filly was on the other side with a smile."Hey, Spike! You seem to be in a good mood," Sweetie Belle said, moving to the side for Spike to enter."I am! I feel like I can do it, Sweetie Belle. I feel like I can admit my feelings to Rarity," Spike proclaimed proudly.Closing the door, the filly was surprised by Spike's words, "Really? That's great! Are you going to tell her right now?"Spike hesitated, "N-No. I think I should wait until later, you know?"The unicorn nodded, "I get it. I wish you the best of luck when you do!""Thanks! Do you think she'll like me back?" Spike seemed to become slightly doubtful."Totally! You're surely to win her hear
Youthful Expression Ch.1Youthful ExpressionWritten by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 1: Morning BellCelestia's sun had risen over Equestria and shined bright rays of light down onto Ponyville. Inside the town's library, a purple unicorn was preparing herself for the day she had planned ahead. Placing a few books, parchment, quills, and snacks into her saddleback, she used her magic to place it upon her back. She gave a small smile to her finished work until she turned to noticed that her assistant dragon, Spike, had yet to get up. Trotting to his bed, she used her magic to remove his blanket."Time to get up, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said with a motherly tone."Huh?" Spike was beginning to wake up, "Why do I have to get up? You said you don't need me to help you out today with your studying."The unicorn used her magic to levitate Spike out of his bed, "That's right, I don't need your help, but today you are going to be doing something else."Twilight tried to place Spike on the floor, standing o
Her Knight in Shining Scales Ch. 2Spike trudged through the snow covered streets of Ponyville. The wind picked up a little, causing the snow to fall faster and obscure Spike's sight. Although he knew where Carousel Boutique was, he could barely tell if he was making any progress. Spike could barely see any of the buildings near him, nor could he really distinguish any landmarks to help guide him to Rarity's shop. Despite all the obstacles, the dragon persevered in hopes of getting an answer from the pony who knew about love the most.He suddenly saw something in the distance and squinted his eyes. He could barely make out a tall building that had some elegant gold trimming around it and a red door. Spike instantly recognized it was Carousel Boutique and quickly ran over to the door. Before knocking on the door, Spike took a deep breath as he composed himself and what to say. He knew what had to be done and what he had to say, it was just a matter of how to say it. With his thoughts sorted out, the dragon knocked on the
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter ThreeThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Three: Spike's Revelation Spike was lying on his bed, thinking about all that had happened that day. He wasn't sure if he should write about it, due to the risk of Twilight accidentally, or purposely, finding it in his journal. 'Maybe I do like her' he thought, 'No! I can't like her. She's my best friend and that's it.' Suddenly, Spike heard the sound of hoofsteps from outside of the room. The little dragon quickly regained his composer just as Twilight trotted through the doorway. "Hey Spike," she said in her usual happy tone.Instantly the little dragon sat up and looked over to her. "Oh hey Twi. What is it?"The lavender mare's expression turned somewhat unamused. "Why does there have to be something? Can't I just say hi to my best friend?""Yeah, of course you can, but there is something isn't there?""Uhhhh, that's not the point."Spike let out a slight chuckle. "What is it?""Well I wa

What happens when a super-saver marries a super-spender? When it comes to money, love does not always conquer all. But there are ways of bridging the checkbook gap.
That's the word from Diane McCurdy, a financial planner and author of How Much Is Enough? Balancing Today's Needs with Tomorrow's Retirement Goals.
Here is the text that I received:
The Spender/Saver Marriage:
# 1 Outline Differences
· "Sit down with your partner for a heart-to-heart talk and budget planning meeting. Lay all the cards on the table: I'm a saver; here's why and here's what that means . . . You're a spender; here's why and here's what that means . . . Let's talk about how we can compromise so that both of us are getting our needs met.
"It's amazing how few couples think to have this calm, rational discussion," notes McCurdy. "But not having it sets the stage for festering resentment, which blows up into arguments."
# 2 Establish a Safety Zone for the Saver
· The saver needs to know that he or she is saving enough off the top to ensure financial security.
"Compromise is a must. The saver needs to realize that maybe she doesn't need a million dollars in the bank in the next five years. Maybe it's enough to know the mortgage is being paid every month and that there's not more going out than coming in," says McCurdy.
# 3 Saver: Review Value of Attraction
· The saver also needs to remember why he/she was attracted to the spender in the first place. . "Acknowledge that your partner brings qualities to your life that you need--after all, there's a reason you didn't marry a carbon copy of yourself," says McCurdy.
# 4 Spender: Write Reality Check
· Likewise, the spender needs to recognize that security is numero uno for the saver to stay grounded--and that this very groundedness is part of what attracted him/her to the saver in the first place.
"Spenders tend to be instinctively drawn to people who are solid, dependable, and trustworthy," remarks McCurdy. "To expect your saver partner to be okay with maxing out all the credit cards is like expecting her to suddenly become a different person. It's not fair to her and frankly, you don't really want that either."
# 5 Create a Fun Zone for the Spender
· The spender needs to know that he/she can still spend and enjoy life without sabotaging family security.
"Don't try to impose a Spartan existence on your spender--it squelches all the joy from his life. Assure the spender that there is a happy medium between his freewheeling old style of spending and never, ever again buying anything fun," says McCurdy.
# 6 Create Wish List
· It's imperative for the spender to create a wish list, while recognizing that everything on the list can't be acquired at the same time.
"Spenders, make your list and rank what is the most important item for you," McCurdy urges. "Which do you want more, the big screen plasma TV, the fishing boat, or the trip to Jamaica? Once you decide, it gives you something to budget for and anticipate."
# 7 Lose Control
· Finally, know that if the spender is willing to relinquish control to the saver, there's a bonus: The saver will make it happen faster than the spender.
"Letting the saver manage the mutually agreed-upon budget may feel to the spender like 'losing,'" says McCurdy. "But it really isn't. Spenders, look at it this way: If your saver is in charge of money outflow, she probably won't dribble the plasma TV fund away on new CDs and $5 lattes. You'll eventually get your plasma TV, and she'll get the peace of mind of knowing you can both retire someday.
"Here's the bottom line," says McCurdy. "Money really is just a tool. We are the ones who give it so much emotional power. We would all be better off if we realized there is always more money to be earned and cultivated to fit our needs. We shouldn't allow the dramas we create around financial matters to ruin our marriages. Love does mean so much more than money."
