Episcopal Church Service Cross with chain
Pendant cross
This traditional service cross comes on a 24 inch chain of stainless steel which closes with a spring ring clasp. The cross is slightly larger than a US quarter at 1 inch diameter.
Very pleased with this, great value and highly recommended. The warm and friendly service is appreciated, and delivery to the UK was very prompt
A cross I had given to my wife had been stolen (along with the rest of our jewelry) during a break-in. I came across this service cross while browsing for pins and bought one for her and one for myself as we are both retired from the USAF. She loves it, and wears it frequently. Thanks for having it available!
A good companion for the Armed Forces Prayer Book or stand alone gift, especially for those serving in the military. They are well received - appreciated.
Till now I've had to wear my Service Cross on a dogtag chain. Having a stainless steel chain available for purchase was a great looking upgrade in appearance.
I ordered this simple cross as a prayer aid, and it has been perfect for that. Meditating on the fact Christ died for us puts me at rest for every mass and in times of trouble (or joy, for that matter). It's good to be an Episcopalian.
My husband was a Methodist when we first married but soon was attending Episcopal services with me. Before he went to Vietnam the first time, 1970, he told me he wanted to become an Episcopalian. We were in Pittsburgh with my family and he would be leaving for Vietnam Nam from there. My mother called Trinity Cathedral and asked if this was possible with only a few days before his departure and they quickly made the arrangements. The Canon of the church confirmed him and gave him the Episcopal Service Cross. He put it on then and never took it off. Years later we were stationed in Italy. He had always said that he wished the cross was in gold. I took it to gold smith and he made a mold of the cross and then he made a gold cross. It is beautiful! Again my husband never took it off. On October 3, 2013 he passed away. He told me that he wanted it to go to our oldest grandchild. Emilia was confirmed April 6, 2014. I gave her the cross that she had played with as a small child around her Grandaddy's neck. I don't think we could have given her anything that she values more. If you only knew where that cross has been you would be amazed.
These crosses are great to hand out, especially as we recognize service members. It used to be that I could get five (just the pewter medallion) at a time at no cost from the then named Bishop of the Armed Forces office. Then they were clearly identified as the Crusader's Cross and had a small note with its history. The PC world renamed it and started charging for it. I handed out well over 100 just in Montana....WWII, Korea, Viet Nam and the Gulf/Southwest Asia and to mothers and dads who sent them to their serving children.
I bought this for my husband for a Christmas gift. It is very nice and it came within a few days after I ordered it.
I bought two, one for myself and one for my wife. The Episcopal Church Cross is pewter and
the chain is stainless steel. This is a beautiful round cross that says, "for Christ died for you." As an Episcopalian You will be proud to wear this cross.
I bought this for my daughter. I have one that my father was given when he went into the service. I can't find mine right now and when I saw this on line I thought it looked close enough to dad's that while it wouldn't replace his it would be her's sort of from him.
It turns out this is perfect! The front is the same the back is a little different and it has the same "feel" to it. It has brought her much comfort.
As I said it is perfect as is the personal service!

"I am an Episcopal priest in love with our tradition. At the same time I want it to work hard to keep its own integrity and strive to eliminate denominationalism. This store has a diversity of offerings and is astonishingly pastoral in the way it processes its sales on line. Imagine a thank you note!"

Who Killed Emmett Till?tags: civil rights, Emmett Till, Mississippi, civil rights movement
Emmett Till at the age of 14.
Emmett Louis Till, who went by the nickname "Bobo," was murdered on August 28, 1955 by Roy Bryant and his half-brother J. W. Milam near Money, Mississippi. Till was a Chicago native, but spent the summer visiting family in the Mississippi Delta. He was abducted from his uncle Moses Wright's home by Bryant and Milam. They tortured Till before killing him, dumping his body in the Tallahatchie River. The event became a catalyst for the burgeoning civil rights movement, which mobilized against the senseless violence inflicted against African Americans.
Bryant and Milam went after the fourteen-year-old boy after hearing that Till flirted with his wife, Carolyn. Till and seven of his cousins visited a small grocery store owned by the Bryants on August 24, 1955. Roy Bryant was away from the store working a second job as a truck driver, so his wife and her sister-in-law Juanita Milam were running the store. Though the precise details of what followed remain uncertain, Till allegedly made suggestive comments towards Carolyn Bryant while in the store, and possibly even whistled at her and touched her hand or waist.
After hearing about the incident, Bryant and Milam set out to find Till at 2:30 am on August 28. They reached the home of Moses Wright, where Till was staying for the summer, and demanded to see the young man. Bryant and Milam then took Till away, brutally tortured him, and eventually killed him. Till's disfigured body was found in the Tallahatchie River three days after he was reported missing.
A jury in Sumner, Mississippi acquitted Bryant and Milam of murder in September. In November, the two were found not guilty of kidnapping.
Mamie Till Mobley, Emmett's mother, notably insisted on having an open casket funeral for her son. The funeral, which was held in Chicago on September 3, was attended by thousands of people. On September 15, Jet magazine garnered national media attention by publishing what would become a famous photograph of Till's body on a funeral slab.
Milam and Bryant later agreed to a confessional interview, published in 1956 by Look magazine, for which they received $4,000. Rosa Parks, the civil rights icon who refused to give up her seat on a bus in Alabama for a white passenger, attributed her own dedication to activism in part to the memory of Emmett Till.

Kid Swinging Picture
Want to capture kids' happy expressions? Capture them doing something fun. And what kid does not like to swing.
I was not getting good results using AI Servo focus mode on this camera and lens combination (primarily a lens issue here), so I opted to use One Shot AF and take the shot at the moment the pendulum motion stopped on the back-swing. My in-focus hit rate was decent using this technique.
The 85mm f/1.4 setting allowed the background to be strongly blurred and allowed for a fast, action-stopping shutter speed on this heavily overcast day.

New Toro Recycler will not start
Just wondering if there is a quick fix before I have to take it in and then wait an untold amount of days before I get it back. As stated, it is a new Toro Recycler with the Kohler engine, cut the lawn 3 times, the 3rd time it took quite a few more pulls on the starter than the guaranteed 2 pulls, now, it will not start no matter how many pulls, BUT..it will start if I squirt a little bit of gas into the carb intake behind the filter, but, it only runs until that bit of gas is used up, then it dies...does this sound like something one of ya'll would know about? Thanks alot ahead of time for any help.
That condition is usually caused by fuel contamination or varnish inside the carb.
If this is your third use and all this happened within the last couple of months, I would suspect water or contamination in the bottom of your carburetor bowl. Drain that first and if you see anything unusual in the bowl, drain the entire tank and let everything dry out. You may have to remove the fuel bowl.
Since it's new, I vote for a blockage in the carb from something that was in the carb or fuel line all along. You can try something but it probably won't work - pick up the mower on the carb side about six inches and drop it a couple times. Otherwise somebody has to take the carb apart and see what's happening.
I have a one year old mower self propelled easy start, I cant get mower to start, there is no primer easy start I pull and pull and pull nothing. last year pull one time easy and it started right up now nothing, need some help on what could be my problem.. oh it is a toro lawn mower
Guys: these 4-cycle mowers now have lean fuel systems for lower emissions. This means smaller orifices in the carburetor. It only takes a little speck of matter or a little varnish build-up to shut them down. If you use a fuel stabilizer/cleaner like Sta-Bil (put it in your gas can before filling so it's always there) you can get better reliability. Otherwise learn to service the carburetor or pay to have it done. Your choice.

(3.0L 6-cyl. Twin-turbo AWD 6-speed Automatic)
2008 BMW X6 SUV xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Got every available option on my X6, and I am loving it! Don't confuse this car with an SUV; it is a Sports Activity Coupe with room for any foursome (golf, tennis, skiing, or dating)and all the accompanying equipment (clubs, rackets, skis, and luggage). My grandson can even watch movies in the back seat! Just got mine back from BMW Collision after rear ending a Cadillac sedan. Awesome collision safety behavior from the car with only frontal damage while the Cadillac regretfully was demolished. The repair by BMW looks amazing!

Having owned the Range Rover Supersport supercharged and Audi q7, I can say that this car exceeds all of these on every front for driving pleasure and fun without giving ground, except for serious off roading. The twin turbo is very responsive and returns good mileage. Handling is incredible for a car of this type. Space is very good at 6'4" no problem in finding a very comfortable seating position, even the back seats are good for a 6' person. Overall very solid just what you expect.

A great look and glad we bought instead of Infiniti FX35, which is likely a good car. Outside lines turn heads, interior is comfortable. Can go to the snow. Hwy mileage is 22+, around town is low 15. Very fast for 6 cyl. Very solid. We own 06 Denali, so don't expect it to tow, haul huge loads, etc. We are new empty nesters and this car fits our needs very well and better for us than X 5. Rear view has not been a problem for us. took couple in back seats and they said they were comfortable. Great car!

Sure, it gets attention, but I wish more attention had been given to practical design. It's nearly impossible to see out of the rear window making reverse a dangerous exercise. The rear view camera display states to "never rely solely on camera" when that's exactly what the driver must do. Side vision is also hampered by the steep drop off of the front fenders--the driver can't tell see the outboard edge of the car. The liftgate has two opening heights, but getting past the low one is fiddly at best, making loading anything back there a long reach into a shallow slit opening. Super- expensive tires. People will look at you, alright, but I'd rather the car be more user friendly.

This is my 3rd BMW, but my first new BMW and will not be my last. I have never been in a vehicle that has turned more heads and make even other luxury car owners smile and give me the "Big Thumbs Up!" The Interior is nice and roomy, the controls are logically laid out, and the car is just a dream to drive.

Gotta say, I was thinking of an AWD vehicle after living in Illinois and having a 550i that was fun to drive in the summer, but in Chicago winters a bear to control. I was in the market for AWD w/o the boxy look. I walked into the showroom and they were unloading it from the semi-trailer. I fell in love with the shape and the wide stance. I can also say it chews up the curves and has been a definite attention getter. To becoming almost an annoyance. I feel like a rock star when I'm behind the wheel. The ride height is perfect and the handling is superb. Needs a little more pep in the 6 cylinder.

BMW's first SUV that drives like a sports car. Despite the sacrifice of the utility aspect, the SAV is a heavy, well build automobile with sufficient twin turbo engine, and impressive handling, performance and spacious comfort for four. There are numerous high-tech gadgets and functions in the car to entertain you and make you feel real good. The drawbacks: no utility/no space, gas-guzzler even for the V6, pricey when equipped fully, the navigation dvd processor is too noisy, and finally the design attracts too much attention. If you can afford one go for it. I'm enjoying mine.

I was in error when I submitted my original review. The X6 does have the TPM standard, I just was not used to the IDrive and the TPM function is "greyed out" (not accessible) when the car is off. I was playing with all the settings without the car running so that's why it did not show up. I did have a computer glitch, warning me that the AWD and DSC, DBS and startoff assist had malfunctioned. Problem was a $20 brake relay swith that was sending a wrong signal. Dealership fixed it and everthing has been fine since. Still love the car and a definite head turner!

I have had 3 X5s and used to drive sports cars prior to that. As much as I loved the X5, I still missed the "coupe" look and feel. And then the X6 came along. Exactly what I wanted. I still cannot wipe that smile off my face every time I look at it or get behind the wheel. What a car, the engine is fantastic, the handling superb and I just can't rave enough about the outside look. I have not been this excited about a car since my 1993 Acura Legend coupe with 6 speed manual transmission. I ordered mine to have exactly what I wanted and the 3 weeks it took before I got the car seemed like and eternity!
Read the full review
Very happy with the X6 after almost 2 months. I love the handling with the sport package; much improved over my 2007 X5 4.4i. No reliability problems yet. Definitely a head turner and I enjoy the convenience of an SUV without the boxy SUV reputation. The turbo six performs as well as the V-8 in the 4.8i X5, but gets significantly better gas mileage. I didn't want to wait a few months for availability of the turbo V-8, but at current gas prices, the turbo six is an adequate choice. You just have to push it a little harder.

North Central College senior Marissa Bartz is looking forward to June when she'll become the first to complete the nation's only program offering a bachelor's degree in chemical microscopy.
North Central College presents the solo exhibition "The Anatomy of Emotion," featuring the artwork of junior Lauren Denler through March 29.
In a collection of mixed media, ceramics and sculptures, "The Anatomy of Emotion" showcases Denler's avid research and interest in the exploration of the human figure and the fragmented body. The free exhibit is on display through March 29 in the College's Meiley-Swallow Hall Gallery, 31 S. Ellsworth St. An artist's reception will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 13, in the gallery; complimentary refreshments will be served.
North Central College has been awarded a distinguished Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics (CURM) mini-grant to support participating faculty members in setting up an undergraduate research group for the 2015-2016 academic year.
North Central College is among the U.S. colleges and universities that produced the highest number of Fulbright students for 2014-2015 international exchanges. This represents the first-ever such honor for the College, and top-producing institutions are highlighted annually in The Chronicle of Higher Education. North Central is the only College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin institution listed and appears in the master's institutions category.
For Taylor Harrison '15, a recipient of North Central College's Mironda K. Heston Scholarship of Public Service, the cliché "a picture is worth a thousand words" rings true.
North Central College's Student Director Series features the original play "Cynics" by senior Emma Smith Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
Three performances will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1 in North Central's Madden Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Tickets are $5/adults and $3/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix. There is strong language in the play and dark subject matter.
Every kick, header and "GOOOAAAALLLLLLLL" of soccer's 2014 World Cup came with a hefty price tag—but was it worth it? That question prompted Miguel Purgimon Colell '16 to fly to Brazil and speak with those footing the bill for the international event.
Mark Zajac '12 has been named as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) to Germany, continuing North Central's history of placing graduates in this prestigious program.
He is currently serving as a Dunn Fellow in Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's Chicago Office. While a student, he was a College Scholar, had triple majors in global studies: international business, German and Spanish, and a minor in Chinese. He studied abroad in Heidelberg, Germany, and Seville, Spain, to refine his language skills in German and Spanish.
Rebecca Heinen '15 of Sparta, Ill., a mathematics major, has been awarded a prestigious national honor as a 2014 Goldwater Scholar Honorable Mention. The Goldwater Scholar program is highly competitive and represents the highest national award given to undergraduates who plan to pursue careers in science and math research.
North Central College German majors Hannah Kramer '14 and Emily Labedz '15 gave formal presentations to senior residents of Monarch Landing, a Naperville retirement community, on March 12. Their presentations focused on their research and travels in Germany.
Kramer, who's pursuing state certification to teach German in high schools, studied in Heidelberg, Germany, in fall 2013 and participated in a D-Term study trip to Germany in 2012 led by Gregory Wolf, Dennis and Jean Bauman Professor in the Humanities and professor of German.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

Use a Clothes Dryer as a Hiding Place is the fourth and last line of the third verse.
This line is charactezised by a pink figure visible in a round opening in a brown (Grey in chorus) box- which figure would assume as a clothes dryer. The shape and the height of Bungle is unknown.

Cactus is turning red
I have a disocactus Ramolosus. It was bought last month and the leaves were a healthy green. Now they are turning red. I researched it online and the more light the cactus receives the brighter red it turns. I can't seem to find out if the bright light is bad for the cactus. Is it okay turning red, or should I put it in more shade?
Bright light is great for cacti that are accustomed to bright light. Not so much for those that are not. Red is an indicator of stress. If it's just a mild blush, I might leave it be, to get used to its new environment. Else I might tone it down a bit for the time being.
As GermanStar said, it might be a sign of stress.
I found one site that says Disocactus ramulosus turns red in high light. See link below.
A new shoot on my Epiphyllum is all bright red...but it is definitely stressed. :P
Here is a link that might be useful: Disocactus ramulosus

Admission Requirements
Medical school admission requirements vary from school to school. In general, most medical schools will expect applicants to have taken the Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®), and to have completed the following types of courses:
- One year of biology
- One year of physics
- One year of English
- Two years of chemistry (through organic chemistry)
To find school-specific requirements for each U.S. and Canadian medical school, see the MSAR Online. To better understand the role and structured of the MCAT exam, read Chapter 4 of the MSAR®: Getting Started, "All About the MCAT® Exam." Learn more about the MSAR
Applicants should consider volunteering at a local hospital or clinic to gain practical experience in the health professions. A well-rounded sampling of extra-curricular activities or work experiences, both related and unrelated to medicine, will help broaden an applicant's knowledge and development.
Students interested in medicine are encouraged to research the wide variety of jobs available in the health professions, to discuss the nature and demands of medicine with a pre-medical advisor or health professional, and to ask a lot of questions before embarking on the application process.
Chapter 7 of the MSAR: Getting Started, "The Admissions Decision," describes the evaluation process in to further detail including the holistic review approach, personal attributes, experiences and metrics.
Each school's specific prerequisites, detailed annually in the MSAR® Online, is highly recommended to all prospective applicants and is available at most school libraries, premedical advising offices, and can be purchased from AAMC Publications.

Lots of Cuttings! ID Check
I visited my aunt in SoCal and her backyard is full of overgrown pots and I was very happy to help her trim some of her plants down!
Unfortunately I couldn't take too much, since I was rushed out the door and the car only had so much space, but I did get this box.
Haworthia? The pot was really crowded and my aunt pretty much just sliced a couple offsets off through the roots. I have three plants now, I think.
These are all from the same plant, and they look very similar to my graptoveria moonglow, except huge. But then mine I haven't had for very long, so it's hard to tell. Plus the ones I have got rather sunburned over the week while I was gone. It was very hot and I wasn't here to water ;A;
Crassula Ovata Gollum?
I can't tell if these are the same or different. They're both very branchy plants. I think they're aeonium? The second is more yellow than the first, and they came from different plants.
Not a clue what this guy is! He's bright red and adorable though.
And his friend, on the left, also not sure.
Meanwhile the plants I already own are all very dehydrated and sunburned, so these guys will stay in the box until I can get that sorted out (and go get some more pots!! Where am I going to put everything)
I thought aeonium kiwi at first, but the rosettes seemed too small to me! And the odd variation between the two different plants confused me. But I'm still a beginner. I'd been wanting a kiwi for a while. Whether they are or aren't it's a very pretty plant.
Hi Folks,
Nice assortment you got there, how fun!
I disagree pls. on #4, it's likelier an Echeveria of some kind (Aeoniums usually have hairs on the edge of their leaves).
The little red thing is a Sedum of some kind. I think some of those are called Sedum rubrotinctum & some called Sedum 'Jelly Bean'.
Nice Haul, best of luck w/ 'em all!
Okay, jumping in & out of the forum (as I'm on call for my son, giving birth to a kidney stone-we are on Day 6...3 of which were spent in ER of hospital)!
My take on these:
1. Haworthia fasciata (smooth inner leaf--top--surface)
2. I'm not familiar w/the name xGraptoveria 'Moonglow', but I believe I've seen this plant many times...not sure anyone had a name or it...so MAYBE someone got around to giving it a valid name. I see I can find it all over the Web, so perhaps that is IT! :D FLOWERS will help confirm if that is the correct genus (intergeneric).
3. Yes, Crassula ovata 'Gollum'.
4. Looks like woody branching in 1st pic...I'd say both are Aeonium haworthii. Perhaps the lighter one had gotten more water? Were ALL the rosettes of that plant the same shade?
Run your finger along the leaf edge-where it's red-you will feel tiny "teeth". I'm sure I've been calling it cilia (hairs) in other posts. So sorry to mislead others. This old brain isn't always coming up with the correct words! :D (There is an off chance they could be 'Kiwi', but I don't think so.)
5. Cute lil red guy! Yes, I think probably a Sedum, but S. rubrotinctum would have rounded ends. Let it grow a bit & repost...especially if it flowers!
6. Hmmm, either Sedum or xCremnosedum. Another to repost after it grows a bit. This one looks more like Sedum rubrotinctum than the other, but I don't think so.
I must run! Thanks for helping me get my mind off other things for a few minutes!
Yes! Good haul! Go back for more!! =)
Also, of note (in addition to dkhar's observances), H. fasciata's growth habit is to get taller (somewhat like a stalk), whereas, H. attenuata will not.
Thank you, Laura. :) Yesterday, Day 8 (sleep-deprived...I was mistaken), we THINK he may have passed the stone into bladder (=no pain, now we wait for it to come out)! Perhaps now we can ALL get some decent sleep & have brains functioning properly again!
Sorry, twiltye & all...I digress again. :/
Thank you for your input!
The two branchy ones both have smooth leaves, but woody stems.
Should I worry about the brown spots? It just seems like normal plant damage to me, so I'll probably wind up removing a lot of leaves once I get a chance. Both of the cuttings have them.
Here's a picture of the inner side of the leaves on the haworthia.
They didn't seem very tall in the original pot. From what I could tell, they'd spread by offsetting for years and filling the pot with a dense group of plants.
Also I can see why the graptoveria is so common
And these are just the leaves I took off to make them look nicer! I'm fairly certain it's the same as my other plant. Guess I'll know if they all flower.
And Ro, no worries. Best wishes to you and your son
Still say: Aeonium haworthii. The one more yellow *may* be a 'Kiwi", but I have my doubts. I have 2 type of Aeonium that claim to be 'Kiwi', which are very different (size & other characteristics). I think one being distributed is a variegated form of something else, but not enough info gathering at this point to argue points.
Either way, run your finger along the *edge* of the leaf to feel the difference (if you can't *see* the cilia/tiny teeth. No doubt in my mind they are both Aeonium.
Still believe Haworthia fasciata, perhaps even forma variegata (lighter green), which I have as well.
Last is still a mystery to me.
Thanks for your well wishes re son! :D Grateful he is out of pain now (kidney stone in bladder) after a week! Just a waiting game now for the stone to come out!
'Kiwi' changes colors through the year...one reason I like 'em! Aeonium haworthii for both. Yes, bruising on bottom of leaves. Not a problem. You can remove if you don't like it. If I have time to process pix I'll be back with examples of several Aeonium.
That'd be great, if you have time! If for no other reason than to see more plants, which is always fun.
Doubt I'll be potting everything for a few days still. I seem to have strained my wrist doing something or another, so taking it easy. Good thing these are all such forgiving plants (and that I have so many cuttings)

What Do You Do With Your Pets for Showings?
Hi All,
My DH & I are hoping to get our home on the market in the next 2-3 months or so. I have 3 kitties! One is 20 yrs old, doesn't want to be bothered & stays upstairs (I know his time is coming soon :( & the other 2 love the unfinished side of the basement.
I'm thinking I might need to get some oversize crate/cages to keep them confined & safe. One is definitly a flight risk. And they do have their claws, so I don't want anyone to try to pet them--even if I put a warning sign on the cage.
I don't have family or neighbors here that can take them in for awhile. I can board them for Open Houses, but that won't work for any spur of the minute showings. I'm thinking of putting one of those small dog runs inside the basement with a covered tarp. Would this be TOO tacky? Or a good solution? For those of you with fur-kids, what do you do for showings.
TIA ~~ katclaws
All of your ideas are great, and most are what we did with out dog. We put her in a create in a secondary bedroom with a postit note on the door. We took her to doggy day care, and sometimes we took her for a ride around town...she loves to travel!
The dog run thing might work as long as it is a closed top unit.
Good luck!
I have three cats and a toy poodle of 6 pounds. I remove all cat posts and store in the basement during showings. I clean up and remove 2 of the 3 litter boxes (I have one in the basement that I clean out well) and place the other 2 in the garage (covered) during the showings.
Then I crate all three cats (2 go in a medium crate together and one in a small crate) and take them with me in the car with the dog. My neighbor who sometimes watches my cats (and I hers) will let me bring them over to her house especially now that it is so hot out while my house is being shown.
My cats are gettting smart lately and will disappear when they see me get out the crates so now I have to grab each one of them and crate them and THEN bring the crates up from the basement.
We did different things with different pets.
In one house we had 4 cats at the time and put them in the utility room with a do not open note on the door (with a pic of the utility room) and said it would be available for inspection if wanted.
In our next house we had 3 cats and we put them in a large multi cat cage and put a cover over it. Worked very very well.
We also had 2 large dogs at the time and we boarded them with friends for the duration of the time the house was on the market.
I'd remove pets if I worried for their safety--not everyone will be careful not to let pets dash out the door, or keep their kids from harrassing them, and not everyone will act with common sense to avoid being bitten by a caged pet. Loose pets ARE a liability if they are capable of biting, even if you think they never would. BUT, leave some obvious clue you HAVE pets like dishes or toys. That way a buyer can't later claim the presence of pets was concealed from them, a gray area about disclosures that could be stressful, even costly, if you hide EVERY clue to their presence. Also, though many on here have mentioned it, get rid of pet odors if they exist by cleaning, not covering up with air fresheners. Air fresheners, potpourris, and candles, are a dead giveaway that some persistent odor lurks, perhaps from animals, mold, or poor housekeeping. That includes getting dogs bathed, cleaning cages, and keeping litter boxes clean. Owners may not notice it themselves but believe me, buyers do.

Thank you so much to the room service staff working the evening of 4/4/13. My husband was 3,000 miles away from home, staying at the Hilton Garden Inn, in Savannah near the airport, on his birthday. I called the room service department to arrange a piece of cake and ice cream to be delivered to my husband's room as a surprise. The room service/restaurant staff made this so special for my husband. They wrote a card, added a couple balloons and customized his dessert to what my husband liked. It made his whole day! I'd love to get the staff member's name who coordinated this so I am able to send her a thank you. She went above and beyond. Glancing at some of the other reviews, there is something special going on at this hotel, and among its management and employees. Pat on the back to everyone! A+

Our goverment is shut down!
What a waste of money! Minnesota state is "shut down" as our Legislature cannot agree on a budget. Too bad they don't have to live on a real budget like we citizens! Oh, well, don't need to buy a license for anything for a few days.
Posie, in about three weeks, the whole darned country may be joining Minnesota! What will it take for our elected officials to do what we elected them to do? I keep getting emails about an amendment to the Constitution--#28, I think--in which it states that "Congress shall make no laws that apply to the citizens of the United States that do not apply in equal measure to them, and also Congress shall make no laws that apply to them that do not apply to citizens of the United States."
I may have a word or two incorrect, but that's the gist of it. It sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
What on earth is going on with the US? It used to be a "go for it" country. I just loved that aspect and went for the "American Dream". I got my american dream by working very hard, both by working 9to5, overtime and investing in US saving bonds, real estate etc. These days it seems to be the country of "no".
How can you invest in a country that says "no" "no" etc...
I am REALLY WORRIED about our country. The budget deficit is like a huge bill stamped "Past Due" and it's lying in all of our mailboxes. We've got to start paying it down.
I'd like to see a new reality show on TV that takes a very rich family and makes them live a middle class lifestyle for a year. The money saved would be given to local education, human services, or public works.
Greed is NOT good.
Every time I hear of a group (especially if it's legislative) that can't agree on budgetary matters, I am reminded of a story I read many years ago. Unfortunately, I no longer recall author or title. In short, the governing body of a small town had to choose between two desirable ways to spend the excess town budget and the members favored one or the other, but neither in majority. The kicker was that whenever the town council couldn't come to an agreement in a reasonable time [I think it was three days], the members were locked into a room furnished only with a table and wooden stools. They were given bread, water, and access to a bathroom, but otherwise had contact with no one until the entire committee came to a consensus.
At the time I first read the story, I couldn't decide if that was a truly viable way to compel attention to duty, and I'm still not sure, but... don't you wonder how fast a consensual decision could be made if today's committees had both distractions (phones, TV, newspapers) and luxuries (coffee, large meals, comfortable chairs) curtailed?
I wish it were more common knowledge how much the government spends on "overhead" expenses. We the people, who are funding this government, are entitled to know if it's being run cost-effectively.
Is the American federal government "too big" to be scrutinized in this way?

President's Power of Pardon
President Bill Clinton used his presidential pardon power in July 2000 to commute the sentence of Serena Nunn, who was sentenced to 15 years for a first-time nonviolent drug offense when she was 19. The pardon shaved three years off Nunn's sentence. Nunn told me over the phone, "I thought then that it was a great thing that a president used his power to help an average person."
Nunn later graduated from college and then the University of Michigan Law School. Last month, having passed a character fitness test, Nunn passed the Georgia bar. On Monday, she will be sworn in as an attorney.
How can a convicted felon become an attorney? The answer is not that Nunn wasn't guilty. She broke the law. She admits it. She knows she deserved some punishment.
But 15 years? That hard time was a function of a federal mandatory minimum system that overly punishes women who foolishly refuse to testify against their drug dealer boyfriends. "If mandatory minimum sentencing did not exist, no judge in America, including me, would have ever sentenced Ms. Nunn to 15 years in prison based on her role in the conspiracy, her age and the fact that she had no prior criminal convictions before the instant offense," sentencing Judge David Doty later wrote to Clinton.
Nunn's luck changed when Families Against Mandatory Minimums publicized her plight. In 1997, right-leaning lawyer Sam Sheldon read about Nunn in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and was outraged. He took on her case pro bono and then proceeded to hector prosecutors and local politicians in his bid to win Nunn a presidential commutation.
Sheldon, who works for the Justice Department, later became a federal prosecutor. He and his family will be there to watch Nunn take the oath.
Nunn knows that she is blessed. She has seen others leave prison only to face a "permanent punishment," of doors slammed when ex-convicts looked for work or social acceptance.
But she had the Families Against Mandatory Minimums, Sheldon, a pass from prominent politicians and a great-grandmother who told her, "You outlive it."
"She meant," Nunn said, "that when you let your good outdo your bad, then you've outlived it. You can be remembered for something better than your mistake."
Nunn has applied for a presidential pardon, which would erase her conviction. "I'll never be able to wipe away what I did and the fact that I went to prison," said Nunn, "but I can do the best that I can when I go forward."
During our talk, Nunn never brought up the subject of race. She is black, like so many other victims of the federal system's oversize boot.
Despite his erstwhile criticism of federal mandatory minimums, America's first black president may be of little to no help to her. I thought President George W. Bush was stingy with the pardon power, but Bush did issue two commutations in his first term, 11 total, as well as a total of 189 pardons. The Bush record beats Barack Obama's one commutation and 22 pardons.
Maybe Obama will be better after the election, some hope, when, win or lose, he could commute sentences without fear of alienating voters.
Political science professor P.S. Ruckman expects only "the usual tinkling of December pardons." If, however, Obama does issue a spate of commutations, expect some crony clemency, like Clinton's out-the-door pardon of well-connected rich fugitive Marc Rich.
Mitt Romney is "no big ball of hope," either, Ruckman said of the other guy. As Massachusetts governor, Romney granted none of the 15 pardon or three commutation recommendations sent from his parole board.
Conventional wisdom holds that there is no political upside to granting pardons and commutations. In the end, however, presidents often find some mercy for their pals. The question is whether they can spare a shot at a second chance for the average unconnected offender.
