Water proof!
Royal Emblem Wedding Water Bottle Labels I really like this product. Worked great at my wedding
Nice Favor
Natural Simplicity Favor Memo Boards I used the memo boards as a way to display the schedule of events in a useful format. It worked beautifully. The paper could have been a little thicker and attaching the pens to the boards was a little challenging as it didn't come with assembly instructions. But over all, they were great!

Introduction to Disability and Citizenship
"All my life I have known that I was 'different' - special even - because the 'fact' has been brought home to me by the reactions of people around me. They either go out of their way to be nice to me, ignore me, or go out of their way to be awful to me, and it took me a long, long time to realise that these reactions were not necessarily to do with the kind of person I was, rather with what people assumed I was".[Gradwell, 1992]
[Left: Learn about how Ian Dury, musician, reacted to attitudes towards disabled people]
Questions to Consider
What does the phrase 'disabled person' mean to you?
Which negative terms do you know or use to describe disabled people? Which positive terms do you know or use to describe disabled people?
"A disabling society is itself disabled, for the thwarted potential of people with impairments constitutes the thwarted potential of that society as a whole". [Bolt, 2005] [Picture Right: Read a brief history of attitudes to disabled people]

Power has just released the results from their annual report on vehicle reliability, and for the second year in a row, Porsche, the rear-engine experts from Stuttgart, have topped the list. Yes, you read that right: It's now possible for you to tell your wife, with a straight face, that the new Porsche you're contemplating putting in your driveway also happens to be the most responsible car as well!But when was the last time you drove a Porsche? Our answer… well, never. Face it, today's ultra luxury brand cars aren't overly accessible to most of us. If you're anything like us, then you don't spend your free time cruisin' down the highway in high-end, brand new luxury cars. It can be tough to get a grounded, everyman perspective on the über-expensive cars for the elite that cost more than student loan debt. So when we got a chance to get behind the wheel of the newest 2014 Porsche models, we took advantage -- and are here to pass the knowledge on to you in a way that makes sense to all the non-gearheads out there. Forget all of the jargon, engine speak and nonsensical features that you'll use once as a novelty. We're focused on what makes these cars worth the price tag that they carry; what features you care about and those that are helpful or unique to the brand that you'd appreciate when you start the engine. In a sense, why would you want one of these cars? So, when you finally get enough coin to score that Porsche you've always wanted, which model will work best for you?

Forum for multilateral negotiation
Established in 1945 under the Charter of the United Nations, the General Assembly occupies a central position as the chief deliberative, policymaking and representative organ of the United Nations. Comprising all 192 Members of the United Nations, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter.
Murals created by French artist Fernand Léger for the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations headquarters in New York, 1952 (Brieuc PONT)
It also plays a significant role in the process of standard-setting and the codification of international law. The Assembly meets in regular session intensively from September to December each year, and thereafter as required.
The General Assembly cannot impose any measures on a State, but its recommendations are a reliable indicator of global opinion and represent the moral authority of the world community.
Functions and powers of the General Assembly
According to the Charter of the United Nations, the General Assembly may:
Consider and make recommendations on the general principles of cooperation for maintaining international peace and security, including disarmament;
Discuss any question relating to international peace and security and, except where a dispute or situation is currently being discussed by the Security Council, make recommendations on it;
Discuss, with the same exception, and make recommendations on any questions within the scope of the Charter or affecting the powers and functions of any organ of the United Nations;
Initiate studies and make recommendations to promote international political cooperation, the development and codification of international law, the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and international collaboration in the economic, social, humanitarian, cultural, educational and health fields;
Make recommendations for the peaceful settlement of any situation that might impair friendly relations among nations;
Receive and consider reports from the Security Council and other United Nations organs;
Consider and approve the United Nations budget and establish the financial assessments of Member States;
Elect the non-permanent members of the Security Council and the members of other United Nations councils and organs and, on the recommendation of the Security Council, appoint the Secretary-General.
The General Assembly
The search for consensus
Each Member State in the Assembly has one vote. Votes taken on designated important issues, such as recommendations on peace and security and the election of Security Council members, require a two-thirds majority of Member States, but other questions are decided by simple majority.
In recent years, a special effort has been made to achieve consensus on issues, rather than deciding by a formal vote, thus strengthening support for the Assembly's decisions. The President, after having consulted and reached agreement with delegations, can propose that a resolution be adopted without a vote.

Eleven Weddngs Photography by Chip Litherland
"Oh. My. God."
"Mark here (of the infamous Jenny and Mark). I've been meaning to write and say how much I loved hanging out and getting to know you guys and, of course, say thank you for being such ridiculously talented photographers. Those photos have been a major source of addiction for Jenny and I over the past few weeks. I think we take a peek at them once daily. I felt like you guys were just a couple more old friends that flew in for our wedding...with a bunch of cameras. You're both gifted photographers and everyone is in awe of what you created. We'll get around to creating our photo book here eventually but just wanted to say thanks for perfectly capturing an epic weekend on fantasy Harbour Island. Lets do it again sometime."
Jenny & Mark
"AMAZING Chip! You did such a wonderful job. We're both so happy you were there to capture our special day. I love the pictures so much!! Thank you. You rock! "
Christi & Shane
"We have been most fortunate to have had you as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Since our wedding, we can not stop admiring the pictures for the storytelling and simple awe in your execution. The work is simply timeless and breathtaking."
Tina & Jack
"Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day in a way that we will remember forever. Everyone tells me the photos are too beautiful for words. Your professionalism and creative style put us at ease, even my husband who can be a little shy when it comes to taking pictures. I'm hanging the pictures all over our home because they look like works of art that belong on the walls not in an album. Thanks again and I will be recommending you to all my girlfriends who are tying the knot!"
"Win and I wanted to thank you so much for being so laid back and incredibly kind and making our wedding even more fun. From the moment we met you at the rehearsal, we were both huge fans. We felt so comfortable with you that we really weren't aware of you except when we missed you and wanted you right back with us! We're going to recommend you for all future pals who get hitched in Florida (and that's even before seeing your photos, which I'm sure are brilliant!). Huge thanks."
Annie and Win
"I'm blown away by your work...it's just amazing & completely perfect...smiling here :o) SOOOoooo great!!! Thank you honey! "
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You played such an integral part in making our wedding day fabulous and most importantly, memorable. You were everywhere all the time. I can't imagine that you missed a thing. Everyone has commented on your energy level and professionalism...it did not go unnoticed. Thank you again for all of your hard work, diligence, attention to detail, and caring spirit. I never thought that I would enjoy a camera in my face as much as I did that night. I know it wasn't just the camera, but the great photographer behind it. Thanks again for everything..."
Holly & David

Traveling alongside Guy Fieri on his foodie road trip
Guy Fieri Look-a-Like Contest
When I recently interviewed Guy, he told me that one of the strangest things about being famous is that men (who also happen to have bleached-blonde, spikey hair) will go into diners, pretending to be him.
He must have told his bosses at the Food Network the same thing, because they've just launched a "Are You that Guy?" contest. So if you think you (or someone you know) looks like Guy, upload your photo or video. It doesn't seem like there's a prize for the winner of this contest, but who knows? Maybe you can be his stand-in on the show one day?

The casket bearing the body of former President Ronald Reagan lies in the United States Capitol Rotunda | |
Date | June 5–11, 2004 |

The casket bearing the body of former President Ronald Reagan lies in the United States Capitol Rotunda | |
Date | June 5–11, 2004 |
Location | Capitol Rotunda, U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C. |
Participants | Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, foreign dignitaries, and members of the 108th United States Congress |
On June 5, 2004, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, died after having suffered from Alzheimer's disease for nearly a decade. His seven-day state funeral followed. After Reagan's death his body was taken from his Bel Air, Los Angeles, California home to the Gates, Kingsley and Gates Funeral Home in Santa Monica, California to prepare the body for burial. On June 7, Reagan's casket was transported by hearse and displayed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, then flown to Washington, D.C. on June 9 for a service, public viewing and tributes at the U.S. Capitol.
After lying in state for thirty-four hours in the Capitol Rotunda, a state funeral service was conducted at the Washington National Cathedral on June 11, the day when President George W. Bush declared a national day of mourning. Later that day, after the service, Reagan's casket was transported back to California for interment at the Reagan Presidential Library. The state funeral was executed by the Military District of Washington (MDW) and was the first since that of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1973. Richard Nixon, who presided over Johnson's funeral, declined to have a state funeral in 1994. Reagan was the first U.S former president to die in the 21st century.
On the morning of June 5, 2004 there were reports that Reagan's health had significantly deteriorated, following ten years of Alzheimer's disease.[1] He died of pneumonia at his home at 13:09 PDT, at the age of 93.
President George W. Bush was in Paris when Reagan died and acknowledged the death in a press conference.[2] President Bush made the following statement on June 5, 2004:
" | This is a sad hour in the life of America. A great American life has come to an end. I have just spoken to Nancy Reagan. On behalf of our whole nation, Laura and I offered her and the Reagan family our prayers and our condolences. Ronald Reagan won America's respect with his greatness, and won its love with his goodness. He had the confidence that comes with conviction, the strength that comes with character, the grace that comes with humility, and the humor that comes with wisdom. He leaves behind a nation he restored and a world he helped save. During the years of President Reagan, America laid to rest an era of division and self-doubt. And because of his leadership, the world laid to rest an era of fear and tyranny. Now, in laying our leader to rest, we say thank you. He always told us that for America, the best was yet to come. We comfort ourselves in the knowledge that this is true for him, too. His work is done, and now a shining city awaits him. May God bless Ronald Reagan.[3] | " |
American flags at the White House, across the United States, and around the world over official U.S. installations and operating locations, were ordered flown at half-staff for 30 days in a presidential proclamation by President Bush.[4][5] In the announcement of Reagan's death, Bush also declared June 11 a National Day of Mourning.[4]
Some of the early international tributes to Reagan included those of Queen Elizabeth II, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former Soviet Union Leader Mikhail Gorbachev, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and French President Jacques Chirac.[6] Martin advised Governor General Adrienne Clarkson to order all flags across Canada and at all Canadian diplomatic missions in the United States flown to half-staff on the 11th as well, in sympathy with the U.S.'s National Day of Mourning. In Germany, Chancellor Gerhard Schröder ordered flags flown at half-staff above government buildings on the 11th as well.[7]
People marked Reagan's death by leaving tributes and condolences at U.S. embassies and consulates overseas, as well as at locales around the country significant to Reagan's life, including his presidential library, his birthplace in Tampico, Illinois, the funeral home where his body was taken after he died, and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house in Eureka, Illinois.
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, suspended his campaign until after the funeral out of respect for Reagan.[8]
After Reagan's death campaigning for the ongoing US presidential election, considered disrespectful during a time of mourning was suspended.[9] The 2004 Canadian federal election was also to be held; Martin, Opposition Leader Stephen Harper, the Conservative leader, and NDP Leader Jack Layton suspended their campaigns, citing respect for Reagan.[10]
On June 7, Reagan's body was removed from the funeral home and driven in a 20-mile-per-hour[11] motorcade, by hearse, to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.[12]
Reagan's casket, a Marsellus Masterpiece model,[13] was carried by a military honor guard representing all branches of the United States Armed Forces[14] into the lobby of the library to lie in repose.[15] There, a brief family service was conducted by the Reverend Dr. Michael H. Wenning, former pastor of Bel Air Presbyterian Church, where Reagan worshipped.[16] When the prayer service concluded, Nancy Reagan and her family approached the casket, where Mrs. Reagan laid her head on it.[16] After the family left, the doors of the presidential library opened, and the public began filing in at a rate of 2,000 an hour throughout the night. In all, about 108,000 people visited the presidential library to see the casket.[17]
On June 9, Reagan's casket was removed from the presidential library and driven in a motorcade to NAS Point Mugu in Oxnard, California;[18] it was the same airfield Reagan flew into and out of during his presidency when visiting his California ranch.[19] SAM 28000, one of the two Boeing 747-200s, which usually serves the president as Air Force One, arrived to transport the casket to Washington. Thousands of people gathered to witness the plane's departure. Just before she boarded the VC-25A Presidential Aircraft, Nancy Reagan waved to the crowd with her military escort at her side. The plane lifted off at about 9:40 AM PST.[20]
In Washington, D.C., members of Congress, and much of the public, paid tribute to Reagan immediately after his death and throughout his funeral.
Events in the capital began when Reagan's casket arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. It was removed from the plane, driven by hearse in a procession through the Maryland and Virginia suburbs and the nation's capital, across the Memorial Bridge, and onto Constitution Avenue.[21]
Just before the plane arrived at Andrews, the Capitol was evacuated for a brief period, for a plane carrying Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher was off course and created a scare by entering restricted airspace; the incident was attributed to radio problems on board the plane and did not affect funeral events.[22]
Near the Ellipse, and within sight of the White House, the hearse halted and Reagan's body was transferred to a horse-drawn caisson for the procession down Constitution Avenue to Capitol Hill.[21] Nancy Reagan stepped out of her limousine to witness the body's transfer; she was met with a warm greeting, including applause.[21] The cortege began the 45 minute journey just after 6:00 PM EST, with the Reagan family following in limousines.[21] Military units escorted the caisson as it made its way to the sounds of muffled drums. Behind the caisson was a riderless horse named Sergeant York, carrying Reagan's riding boots reversed in the stirrups.[23] The caisson paused at 4th street and Constitution Avenue, where 21 Air Force F-15's from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina flew over in missing man formation.
The caisson stopped when it arrived at Capitol Hill; military units removed it, and "Hail to the Chief" was played amidst a 21-gun salute.[24][25] The casket was carried up the west front steps of the Capitol, mainly because Reagan was first inaugurated there and he wanted to face west, toward California.[25] Two teams of military body bearers carried the casket up the steps of the Capitol to "Battle Hymn of the Republic".[24][25]
When the casket reached the top of the steps, Nancy Reagan and her military escort met it. As the casket passed them, Mrs. Reagan momentarily pulled away from her escort, reached out, and touched the casket.[25] They followed it inside to the rotunda.
The casket was placed under the rotunda, where it lay in state on Abraham Lincoln's catafalque.[26] An evening memorial service then took place, with dignitaries primarily composed of Congressional members, members of the United States Supreme Court, and the diplomatic corps;[27] the Reverend Daniel Coughlin, Chaplain of the House of Representatives, gave the invocation.[28] Eulogies were then delivered by Senate President pro tempore Ted Stevens, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, and Vice President Dick Cheney.[28]
After the eulogies, the three speakers each laid a wreath at the casket, and the Senate Chaplain, the Reverend Barry Black, gave the benediction.[28] Cheney escorted Mrs. Reagan to the casket, where she said her goodbyes.[28] The dignitaries in the room paid their respects during the next half hour. In a rare instance, the doors of the Capitol were then opened to the public, who stood in lines stretching many blocks to view the casket.[26]
The general public stood in long lines waiting for a turn to pay their respects to the president. People passed by the casket at a rate of about 5,000 per hour (83.3 per minute resp. 1.4 per second) and the wait time was about three hours. In all, 104,684 paid their respects when Reagan lay in state.[29][30] The Washington Metro subway set a then daily record in ridership of 850,636 as a result.[31]
After returning to Washington following the G-8 Summit, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush visited the rotunda to pay their respects.[32] Many world leaders did the same, including interim Iraqi President Ghazi al-Yawer, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, former Polish president Lech Wałęsa, and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Reagan's good friend and associate.[32]
While Reagan's casket lay in state, Nancy Reagan and her family took up temporary residence in Blair House, the official residence of guests of the President of the United States.[32] There, she was greeted by additional dignitaries and public figures. During a visit from Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister wrote in the Blair House condolence book, "To Ronnie, Well done, thou good and faithful servant."[32]
After thirty-four hours of lying in state, the doors of the Capitol were closed to the public and Nancy Reagan was escorted in, where she had a moment alone with the casket. A military honor guard entered and carried it down the west steps of the Capitol to a 21-gun salute where Mrs. Reagan, holding her hand over her heart, met it.[33] After it was placed in a hearse, the motorcade departed on the five mile-trip to the Washington National Cathedral, where the state funeral service was to be held; crowds lined the route of the cortege as the hearse made its way.[33]
About 4,000 people gathered at the cathedral for the service, including President and Mrs. Bush, former presidents George H. W. and Barbara Bush, Gerald and Betty Ford, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. Members of Congress and past and present governors were also present.[34]
Foreign dignitaries attended as well, coming from 165 nations. The dignitaries included 36 past and present heads of state and government, and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. Leading the dignitaries were Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Brian Mulroney, and Prince Charles (representing Queen Elizabeth II).[34] Other world leaders included UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Jordan's King Abdullah, as well as interim presidents Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and Ghazi al-Yawer of Iraq, and Irish President Mary McAleese.[34] Blair, Schröder, Berlusconi, Karzai, King Abdullah, and al-Yawer had been at the G-8 Summit in Sea Island, Georgia, and later decided to extend their stay in the U.S. to attend the funeral. Schröder said about attending the funeral: "It is appropriate that the German chancellor says, 'Thank you,' and that is what I'm doing.'"[7] For Karzai, the funeral was part of his week-long visit to the U.S. and it was the beginning of his visit to Washington. He scrapped a visit to the West Coast to visit the Afghan community there to attend the funeral.[35] World leaders that attended the summit, but decided not to extend their stay in the U.S. to attend the funeral paid tribute at the summit, including Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, French President Jacques Chirac, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, also president of the European Union, and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.[36] McAleese's presence had special significance, as she paid tribute to Reagan's Irish roots, recalling his visit to Ireland in 1984.[37]
The funeral for Reagan was the largest in the United States since that of John F. Kennedy in 1963,[7][38] President Kennedy's daughter, Caroline, and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg both attended.[39]
The motorcade arrived at the Cathedral and Reagan's casket was removed. The bearers carrying it paused on the Cathedral steps, and an opening prayer was given by Bishop John Bryson Chane, Dean of the Washington National Cathedral.[40] The casket was then carried down the aisle; the Reagan family followed and Mrs. Reagan was escorted to her seat by President Bush. Rabbi Harold Kushner and Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (the first female Supreme Court justice, whom Reagan appointed), then each gave a reading, which preceded the eulogies.[40] The choir then sang hymns—"Faire is the Heaven"; "Bring Us, O Lord"; "And I saw a New Heaven"[41]—before former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher delivered the first eulogy. In view of her failing mental faculties following several small strokes, the message had been pre-recorded several months earlier and was broadcast throughout the Cathedral on plasma television screens. During the speech, Thatcher said, "We have lost a great president, a great American and a great man, and I have lost a dear friend."[40]
Following Thatcher's eulogy, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney delivered one. Mulroney ended with, "In the presence of his beloved and indispensable Nancy, his children, his family, his friends and all of the American people that he so deeply revered, I say au revoir today to a gifted leader and historic president and a gracious human being."[40]
Former President George H. W. Bush then spoke, his voice breaking at one point when describing Reagan;[40] Bush had been Reagan's Vice President from 1981 to 1989. His son, President George W. Bush, was the last to give a eulogy, saying in part, "Ronald Reagan belongs to the ages now, but we preferred it when he belonged to us... In his last years he saw through a glass darkly. Now he sees his Savior face to face. And we look for that fine day when we will see him again, all weariness gone, clear of mind, strong and sure and smiling again, and the sorrow of this parting gone forever. "[40]
The choir then sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and Theodore Edgar McCarrick, Cardinal Archbishop of Washington, delivered a Bible reading from the Gospel of Matthew.[40] The celebrant, former Missouri Senator the Reverend John C. Danforth, delivered the homily[42] and Irish tenor Ronan Tynan sang songs such as "Ave Maria" and "Amazing Grace" at the request of Nancy Reagan.[33] The Reverend Ted Eastman, former Bishop of Maryland, delivered the benediction, flanked by Reverend Danforth and Reverend Chane.
After the service, the casket was removed from the cathedral and driven to Andrews Air Force Base for the return to California, passing crowds along its route.[43] The family and close friends boarded the VC 25-A Presidential Aircraft,[44] and as she had done previously, Nancy Reagan waved farewell to the crowds just before boarding the plane.
About five hours after the aircraft departed Andrews, it touched down at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, California. The public, including sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan, was there to witness the plane's arrival.[45] Reagan's body was driven in a large motorcade on one final trip though the streets of southern California.
The service drew 700 invited guests, including former Reagan administration officials such as George Shultz, and noted dignitaries; Margaret Thatcher, who travelled on the plane from Washington, sat next to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger[46] and his wife Maria Shriver; former California Governor Pete Wilson was in attendance, as well as former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan.[44] Hollywood actors and other celebrities also attended, including Mr. Reagan's first wife, actress Jane Wyman, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney, Dolores Hope (widow of Bob Hope), Merv Griffin, Tommy Lasorda, Wayne Gretzky, Scott Baio, Bo Derek, Tom Selleck, Pat Sajak, Wayne Newton, and the Sinatra family.[46][47] The three surviving Reagan children, Michael, Patti, and Ron, gave final eulogies at the interment ceremony.[48]
Eulogies finished, and the service over, the Air Force Band of the Golden West played four "ruffles and flourishes", and the U.S. Army Chorus sang "The Star-Spangled Banner". Bagpiper Eric Rigler played "Amazing Grace" as the casket was moved to its grave site and placed on a plinth.[44] There, burial rites were given, followed by a last 21-gun salute;[46] members of the armed services fired three volleys and a bugler played "Taps".[46] At that time, four Navy F/A-18 fighter jets flew over in missing man formation,[44][46] and the flag that flew over the Capitol during President Reagan's 1981 inauguration was folded by the honor guard and was presented to Nancy Reagan by Captain James Symonds, the commanding officer of the USS Ronald Reagan.[45]
After Nancy Reagan accepted the flag, she approached the casket and spent several minutes patting and stroking it.[44] She laid her head down on the casket, before breaking down and crying; The Washington Post described Mrs. Reagan as having been "stoic through nearly a week of somber rituals" but she "surrendered to her grief after being handed the flag that had covered her husband's coffin."[43] While she cried, she kissed the casket and said "I love you".[46] Her children surrounded her, and attempted to console her.[46] Mrs. Reagan then walked away with her military escort, clutching the folded flag. The military band began to play the Victorian hymn "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" as the Reagan children said their goodbyes. Funeral attendees had an opportunity to file past the coffin.
The casket was lowered into the vault and closed approximately before 3:00 AM PDT the next day. The exterior of the horseshoe shaped monument is inscribed with a quote Ronald Reagan delivered in 1991:[46]
" | I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.[49] | " |
Music played during the week-long events included four ruffles and flourishes, "Hail to the Chief", "My Country 'Tis of Thee", "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", "Amazing Grace", "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" (also known as "The Navy Hymn"), "God of Our Fathers", "Mansions of the Lord", "God Bless America", "America the Beautiful", "Going Home", and "On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss" by David Holsinger.[41][44][46]
The state funeral marked the first time that Washington hosted a major event since the September 11 attacks.[50] As a result, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designated the state funeral a National Special Security Event (NSSE).[51] Special precautions were taken because many of the events were open to the public and there were multiple protectees.[51] As means of assisting the motorcade, many streets were temporarily blocked off by law enforcement.[51]
Attorney General John Ashcroft told a Senate hearing before the funeral: "It is a sad commentary when the observation of a memorial service for a former president of the United States must be labeled a National Special Security Event. Such is the fact of modern life in Washington and such is the nature of the war against al Qaeda."[52] MPDC Chief Charles H. Ramsey agreed saying, "In a post-9/11 world, we have to be very concerned...and aware of the potential that something could happen, not that we've received any information at all."[53]
However, DHS was handling another NSSE at the same time: the G-8 Summit in Sea Island, Georgia.[54]
During the services, the news media made note that the security measures also made evident that the era of terrorism that the world was experiencing had its roots during the Reagan years.[55] The worst act of terrorism against the United States prior to 9/11, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 189 Americans, happened during the Reagan years.[55][56][57]
The majority of those commemorating Reagan were supporters of his, although not all held the 40th president in extremely high regard. In one noted example, Paul Mays, a retired engineer who never thought much of Reagan's politics, witnessed the motorcade leave the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base; he commented "This is history".[58] Frank Dubois, an American University professor, also was there for the motorcade, though of the laudatory praise he remarked, "[Reagan] hurt the environment; there was double-digit inflation. I just don't get it."[58]
The majority of media coverage of the event was deferential. Most major news organizations broadcast the various events live multiple times; during the week, the cable channel C-SPAN broadcast uninterrupted coverage of the funeral ceremonies. A few complained, however, that the television coverage was excessive and preempted coverage of other events. CBS News anchor Dan Rather was quoted as saying: "Even though everybody is respectful and wants to pay homage to the president, life does go on. There is other news, like the reality of Iraq. It got very short shrift this weekend."[59] Throughout the week, media experts reported that the national mourning, televised nearly non-stop on many television networks, provided Americans welcome respite from unhappy reports that American troops were being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving them a sense of good news they had been desperate for since the September 11 attacks.[60][61]
Reagan's obituaries also included a few criticisms. Richard Goldstein of The Village Voice criticized the funeral for its careful orchestration, writing, "Because the networks had so long to plan for this production... this was the most precisely mounted news event in modern times. Each gesture was minutely choreographed, every tear strategically placed."[62]
Additionally, some media outlets were criticized for lionizing Reagan without paying equal attention to more controversial decisions made during his administration. Thomas Kunkel, dean of the University of Maryland, College Park's journalism college, wrote in A magazine that the coverage "would have you believe that Reagan was a cross between Abe Lincoln and Mother Teresa, with an overlay of Mister Rogers."[63] Howard Kurtz, The Washington Post's media columnist, said Reagan was "a far more controversial figure in his time than the largely gushing obits on television would suggest."[64] The Nation ran a series of articles about the many controversies of his presidency.[citation needed]

James A. Symonds to Nancy Reagan during President Ronald Reagan's interment ceremony.
A planned appearance by Afghan president Hamid Karzai in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon was postponed indefinitely.
'President Reagan was proud of his Irish heritage and during his time in the White House, he celebrated St Patrick's Day with great ceremony. In 1984, President Reagan visited Ireland, an occasion still remembered with great fondness by many here.'
After almost a week of mourning, Americans will bid a final farewell to former president Ronald Reagan with a full state funeral Friday, an event expected to be the largest ceremonial occasion in the U.S. capital since the funeral of John F. Kennedy more than 40 years ago.
Caroline Kennedy...seemed to pass unnoticed...as she and her husband, Edwin A. Schlossberg...Now 46, Ms. Kennedy was just turning 6 at the time of the state funeral for her father in 1963.
We're going to be making a lot of historical parallels...as we compare what was and what is we take measure of the man. In some ways, this era of terrorism that we're experiencing had its roots during the Reagan years. There was the Beirut bombing. There was Pan Am 103...As the late president returns to Washington, it's a different place, but in many ways, it has antecedence during his years in the White House as the world began to change
Until Sept. 11, Flight 103 had been the deadliest act of terrorism against the United States, killing...189 Americans.
When a bomb hidden aboard Pan Am flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland,...189 Americans (were) killed, making it the largest terrorist attack against the U.S. until nearly 3,000 people were killed Sept. 11, 2001.
Last week was in an odd sort of way a welcomed respite, a trip back. The present returned today. It returned with news of an indictment, a suspect and an alleged plot against middle America.

I LOVE this scent and I am not attracted to woodsy scents at all. I received this in a gift bag from a friend and I have no idea where to purchase it and I don't know how much it costs. At first application it has a heavy cinnamon and spice scent to it. I read a review where someone described it as a chai latte scent. It dries down to what I can only describe as something that reminds me of the woods and ocean. An "aqua woodsy" scent perhaps?I'm not good at describing scents but this is definitely different and definitely unisex--perhaps more on the masculine side and I love that. This is definitely a fall/winter scent and would be overbearing in the summer.

This was suggested to me because I love Tam Dao. I don't get the similarity at all, other than they are both linear and not sweet. Tam Dao is a freight train of cedar and sandalwood, and Costes smells like those cinnamon-scented pinecones that turn up in craft stores in September. Sorta/barely woody with a lot of cinnamon. Not a surprise that this was originally an environmental scent, and it would make a great home scent from Halloween until New Year's. Not offensive in any way, but it's the sort of fragrance people will attribute to your breath lozenge instead of you.

This along with tam dao are my all time favorite winter scents. It is woodsy and "cinnaminY"- perfect for cold and blustery days. This is not your average scent and is quite costly, but if you like great aromatics, this is great to try!
I love this scent, but I already own it in a 10 Corso Como bottle.

2012 : I love this scent now - I didn't like it in 2009 . Spicey , aromatic yet cleanish and soapy ,ambient and quite soothing. Lasting power is mediocre but the scent is uber chic .
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Spicy, unsweet, room fragrance. More masculine than feminine. Good lasting power, no sillage. Not for me; reminds me of a room freshener, not a perfume to wear.
I was surprised at how much I did not care for Costes. I admire and own decants of Diptyque's Tam Dao and 10 Corso Como, the two fragrances with which Costes is most typically compared and thought Costes would be a slam dunk. However, I don't find many similarities. Ts to my nose, Costes smells like a big bundle of cinnamon bark, with a bit of cheapish sandalwood/musk thrown into the middle notes. I had to wash it off before the base notes appeared as I was about to gag. Sorry 'bout that! (bad reviewer, bad reviewer!)
I have heard that Hotel Costes liberally scents their entire hotel with their Costes perfume and if that is the case, I think I'll be staying somewhere else next time my travel plans call for Paris.
Here are the notes, per The Perfumed Court: lavender, bay-tree, coriander, white pepper, rose, incense, woods and light musk.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been wearing Costes by Hôtel Costes for about week now--I can't seem to get enough of it. It reminds me of 10CC (which I also love), but the bay and lavender rounds it out. I spritz this stuff pretty heavily and it lasts all day without ever becoming overbearing.
It's unique, comforting, and very wearable.
Edit: I am in love with everything Costes.
This would make a nice home fragrance...it's a quiet mix of potpourri and incense. It has a brisk sportiness at first spritz and then it mellows down to a creamy cedar. I don't mind smelling this in the air...I wouldn't wear it as a perfume - too masculine overall.

More reviews by Gingerbreadgirl
I'm so very happy to have a good-sized decant of this via swap - it's a very clean, soapy, spicy sandalwood and I find it pleasantly bracing - a good scent for focusing on something (I'm easily given to daydreaming - the laurel, lavender, and pepper make this scent a promising study buddy, though I'm finding that it sweetens considerably on my skin after a little while, and the sweetness at first contrasts unpleasantly with the intense pine note, and then goes quite incensy. I think comparisons of this to 10 Corso Como are apt - as I mentioned in my review of that one, 10 Corso Como tried to kill me by completely shutting down my respiratory system. Hear that, writers of CSI? Let's have a dead-perfumista episode! Anyway, Costes is much less violent on me. Still far too intense to put on before bed or for romantic wear, but quite nice in its own way.

Should a suspect's silence during pre-arrest questioning be enough to invoke the Fifth Amendment?
Jessica Priest
July 7, 2013 at 2:07 a.m.
Fifth Amendment, US Constitution
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
One hour and a pause could have cost Genovevo Salinas, a man at the center of a Houston homicide investigation, 20 years of his life.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision clarifies for the public that simply remaining silent during pre-arrest questioning is not enough to invoke one's Fifth Amendment right and can be used against you in a court of law.
Salinas attended a party in 1992 hosted by two brothers. They were found dead the next day.
After investigators tracked Salinas down, he agreed to an interview, even submitting his shotgun for testing.
He was not under arrest, so police did not need to read him his Miranda rights. He answered questions but fell silent when the interview's tone changed.
Then, police asked whether his shotgun would match the shell casings they found at the scene.
Salinas "looked down at the floor, shuffled his feet, bit his bottom lip, clenched his hands in his lap and began to tighten up," according to court documents.
Prosecutors used his silence as evidence of guilt at trial. A jury convicted him. Justices affirmed that conviction in a narrow, 5-4 ruling.
Proponents say officer testimony about Salinas' silence is a lawful observation a jury deserves to hear.
Critics worry this will give law enforcement an edge they don't need.
Should suspects' silence during pre-arrest questioning be enough to invoke the Fifth Amendment? According to the Supreme Court justices' ruling June 17, suspects must now say something to the effect of "I am not answering anymore questions" or "I want to speak with my attorney."
Pro: Pre-arrest silence a lawful observation that should be presented
Con: Ruling encourages dangerous, high-pressure questioning

What's New
- Fixed bug where users were not being able to connect to their profiles.App Description
FBContacts is an application that loads your Facebook friends' data and matches them with the contacts that you already have in your Address Book. When the contacts are matched you will be able to import data from Facebook friends' pages, such as their profile image, name, work info(job title, company, ...), birthday and lots more.Before our application performs the synchronisation of your contacts with Facebook, it will show a report organised in three sections, which represents the result of the contacts matching process.
These sections are: Matched, Collision and Unmatched.
In these sections you can include or exclude additional contacts from the syncing process and also link or import contacts for which the application did not find a match.
FBContacts application is easy to use and we have included a detailed help file to enable you to use this application in a most productive way.
After you use our application to sync your contacts with Facebook, you can use iTunes to sync it all with your mobile device as well.
Application is not able to read nor sync phone numbers nor email addresses from your friends' data as those fields are not allowed by Facebook for security and spam prevention reasons. Only Facebook application developed by Facebook itself could read those fields, but unfortunately third party applications cannot.
Mountain Lion users have to allow FBContacts access to contacts to successfully match contacts with Facebook friends. On first run you will be presented with dialog to allow access to contacts. If you do not allow it the application will not be able to access your contacts and therefore not able to do a match. If you want to allow access later go to Security & Privacy panel in System Preferences and choose Privacy tab. There under Contacts section allow FBContacts access to contacts.
IMPORTANT: If something is not working for you please read our HELP notes. If you cannot find the answer there, please inform us about your problem using our support email email@example.com or email@example.com. Please include as many details as possible because, if you only write a short review, we will not be able to fully understand what the problem is and fix it.

A few weeks ago i was contacted by Jitterbuggin to style up one of their amazing pieces, to say i was busting with excitement was an understatement! I have been longingly looking at Jitterbuggin's pieces for quite some time now and now i have a blouse to call my own!
I instantly fell in love with the Aviation Print Blouse which may be because i have a small obsession with vintage aeroplanes (see blog logo) my grandfather was also an aviation expert and worked on planes most of his life (i am assuming this is where my love for them started) he would wear aeroplanes printed on his shirts and ties all the time!
The first thing i noticed was the fit of the blouse, it perfectly moulds to your curves and makes you feel like it was specifically made for you and i love that since the vintage pieces i buy i alter to fit me most of the time. I am also now saving my pretty pennies to pair it up with this amazing piece (swoon).
The even better news is that Jitterbuggin are offering all Vintage Valley readers 15% off all items in the shop until the 2nd of December by simply using the codeword "Valley" Huzzah!!!!
If you want to keep up with the Jitterbuggin gossip you can check our their Facebook, Twitter and Blog.
I am taking my new blouse out Lindy Hopping tonight..it seems like the right thing to do!

Dress Up.
Monday, November 19, 2012
On Sunday i re-visited an old friend Lindy Hop! over a year ago i took a beginners workshop and took a few classes but was unable to afford my addiction at the time so sadly i had to let it go for awhile!
I am so so excited i decided to go back because now the jitterbug (bug) has bitten me again except a little harder now! i want to spend all my time practising and am constantly going through the moves in my head! (its any wonder how i am getting anything else done)
I also went to the Beaufort Street Festival on Saturday where i munched on sugared doughnuts and squeezed my way up the street in the crowd it was such a blast! i also picked up this little number from a vintage stall it was perfect for my Lindy Hopping the next day...easy to move in, dosent show i am sweaty (too much info right?) and cute to pair with my blinding white target cheapy sneakers!

This weeks weather has been a little weird, I would start the day out in stockings and end up taking them off, then id don a sun dress and end up scrounging around in my car hoping i have a cardigan tucked away in there! This is supposed to be the start of Summer right?? Come on sun!
I still adore these pants (they may be the only pair i own) they fit nicely until i sit down and then all of a sudden my posture gets quite rigid trying to sit like a lady not about to split the back of her pants! (this is hard...trust me) I also found this adorable brooch over the weekend whilst at Sidney Loves Audrey the adorable place i posted about on the ModCloth blog. After a few mind bouncing coffee's i had a browse around and decided she was the cutest and on the plus side looks like Betty Draper so high five to that!
I am spending the weekend hemming a few dresses, celebrating my best friends birthday, drinking lots of coffee and reading the rest of my book! I hope yours is pretty swell too xx

Hair Tutorial: Victory Rolls
As promised here is a hair tutorial i filmed over the weekend on how i do my Victory Rolls huzzah!!
Hopefully it is pretty simple for you to follow and that my voice isn't too irritating to listen to (hooray for nasal voice recordings) like i mentioned a few times in the video the way i do them may not be technically correct but its the simplest way i have found.
I have a few more hair tutorials that i will be filming in the coming weeks so if there is something you want to learn please let me know or if there is something you want me to have a go at (i am always looking for new hairstyles to conquer).
If you have any questions leave a comment and i will answer them for you Xx

Jitterbuggin Fall Sale.
Just wanted to let you all know that one of my favourite retro shops and soon to be sponsor of Vintage Valley Jitterbuggin are having a fall sale from the 4th of November to the 11th of November! And since its Monday i think you all officially deserve to purchase yourself something for turning up to work this morning!! Yes..that is how i justify my purchases.
I have my eye on this beauty its basically perfect!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! i managed to film a little hair tutorial that i will be posting on Wednesday so make sure you pop by!
Thursday, November 1, 2012
So im finally doing a post today (high five)..I had some grand plans on blogging about a few little projects this week but in true Ally nature i spent my time mopping up spilt coffee in my car, wearing mis-matched shoes (come on..they were both cream coloured!) and leaving camera's, tripod's and card readers in random places!
I have a small love affair with this peplum blouse (pssst...it is up for purchase in the shop if you have a mild crush on it too) I am quite proud of it because if i showed you what it looked like originally i am sure you would have had an ugly 80's dress heart attack!!! It had long sleeves and a skirt that draped below the knees, with a little snip and stitch this cute number was made!
This week has been full of wonderful things, my best friend's mum turned 50 and we celebrated with fancy dinner, italian wine and too many laughs! I also spent Halloween night hovering around my front door like a weirdo waiting for the Trick or Treater's to come past...I am telling you now that only two kids came and it may have crushed me a little!! come on Australia i know we don't get into it as much but people need to let go and have a little spooky fun..now i am just left with too many chocolates and feeling dejected.
Have a swell weekend xx

How Chef and Swimmer Marisa Churchill Stays Fit
Chef Marisa Churchill enjoys swimming and sweets! (Photo by Holly Stewart) When making dessert is your job, staying fit can be a challenge. We
recently sat down with swimmer and competitive chef (she was on season
two of Top Chef and Food Network Challenge) Marisa Churchill to discuss the launch of her new cookbook, Sweet & Skinny: 100 Recipes for Enjoying Life's Sweeter Side Without Tipping the Scales.
Though she's around tempting desserts all day, Marisa is in amazing
shape and even competes in swim meets. Here's how she makes that
possible: What's your workout routine like? I try to exercise at least five days a week. I swim three times, completing about 6,000-8,000 yards weekly, and strength train twice a week. Aside from swimming laps in the pool, what's your favorite way to work out? Since the launch of Sweet & Skinny, I am on the road a lot traveling for my book tour. Therefore, I'm all about "exercises on the go." Here are a few of my favorite ones that you can do just about anywhere:
What do you eat to fuel up for a tough workout or swimming competition? I cut back on sugar the week before a competition and make sure I eat well-balanced meals with lots of fruits and vegetables. I also drink a lot of green tea to keep me energized. |
