They will always have 2009-10 and the five assist titles in seven years and the sheer professionalism. Suns fans everywhere will cherish the memories of the finger licks while bringing the ball up the court and the two MVPs. They'll have a forever fondness for Seven Seconds Or Less and all those clinics on passing and shooting. Steve Nash in Phoenix will be forever.
But it never should have ended this way.
Not necessarily the part about Nash going to the Lakers, a move that can become official when the league-wide moratorium on signing free agents is lifted Tuesday at 9 p.m. in L.A., midnight on the East Coast. Stranger things have happened than a player setting aside a professional rivalry to be closer to his children.
The part about the Suns doing a sign-and-trade now is what was unnecessary. It was a classy payback for all Nash had done for the organization, sure, but the Suns never should have been in that position in the first place, allowing emotions to rule a pivotal moment.
Management had at least two trade deadlines and one previous offseason to make the deal that was best for the team. The clock had been ticking on the spectacularly fun Nash era for about two years. He did, no matter what anyone's eyes said to the contrary, turn 38 in February. A transition plan had to be in place.
Instead, the Suns held on. It would have been different if the Suns were trying to keep a winning group together, the way the Celtics are now by re-signing Kevin Garnett and adding very-veteran Jason Terry to replace Ray Allen. But Phoenix was 33-33 last season, 10th in the West. That was after going 40-42 the season before. Phoenix hasn't made the playoffs since the improbable run to the 2010 conference finals.
The Suns held on to Nash for a lot of good reasons. He was an All-Star and carried himself at that same level off the court. He was hugely popular in town. The Suns couldn't market victories, but they could market Nash. Suggesting that Phoenix trade its star point guard during the previous two seasons usually brought a string of disagreements from fans and a refusal from the front office to entertain such a notion -- unless Nash wanted it.
Still, trading him before he became an unrestricted free agent would have been smarter. The Suns wouldn't have been dealing from a position of weakness. Surely the Suns would have gotten a much better deal in March 2012 or last summer than the reported return the teams agreed to last week -- first-round choices in 2013 and '15, two second-rounders and $3 million. Surely Nash, still among the league leaders in assists, still shooting better than 50 percent, could have brought more than picks in the 20s.
In the end, the Suns didn't make the trade they wanted to make. They made the trade they felt obliged to make.
Recounting his conversation with Phoenix owner Robert Sarver in the excellent ESPN.com story of how Nash unexpectedly -- even to Nash himself -- became a Laker, agent Bill Duffy said: "I told Robert that, in all the years that you're going to own this franchise, I don't think you'll ever have a person in this organization as special as Steve Nash. He's inarguably the greatest Sun this franchise has ever had. So if you're ever going to make an exception for something, he'd be the guy. And Robert, bless his soul, ended up giving his blessing."
Added Nash in the same article: "I'm really thankful that Robert reconsidered. He and some of the other partners were gracious enough to realize what this means to me. They also got some assets back, which I feel good about, but it was a great gesture for me and my family. He was in a tough spot, but he put himself out there to do the best thing for me and my kids."
Give the Suns this much: They didn't get caught up in the negative perception of making a trade within the division or the fallout from doing a deal that gets the Lakers closer to a championship. Phoenix needed to find the best outcome for Phoenix. The Suns and Lakers are in different worlds right now, not locked in battle.
Besides, the outcome could have been much worse. Nash, the Canadian hero, came close to signing with Toronto, a move that would have meant the Suns getting nothing for their best player. Dealing with the enemy in their backyard is better.
It's just not as good as the outcome the Suns could have had if they had gone through this amicable breakup any time in the previous year and a half. On their terms.

It has nothing to do with memory. I grabbed what I thought was the relevant point while I was reading it. I read and reply to each section on a section by section basis.
I assure you I was pulling random variables out of the air. I could have said $2.75, it makes not difference. The point is still the same.
Which I have said before. You need to find a price point to be attractive enough to lure people away from free while still turning a profit. The hypothetical was never meant to be an actual case, it was just to meant to make a point. There is some price point OR number of added features that could tip the scales.
Again, I just pulled a price out of my head to make the point that there is some price point... again, see my post above.
1. I apologized.
2. There was no malice. Again, see my other previous reply in the this thread.
3. Look at the time I put into replying to every point you make, you really think I was trying to go out of my way to pull the wool over the peoples eyes of this forum? Like they can not read all of the replies and judge for themselves? Not everyone is out to get you or against you man.
This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you want to continue this "back and forth" please try and stay on topic, I would hate to cut and paste and reply while noncomprehending your topic at hand.
I will leave that to everyone to decide. I feel OK about it. I am not going to speak for Tyler.
That is your opinion but has never been my intent.
Right, we hear you.

Crestor becomes first statin approved by FDA for atherosclerosis
WILMINGTON, Del. The Food and Drug Administration has approved AstraZenecaŌĆÖs cholesterol medication Crestor as an adjunct to diet to slow the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with elevated cholesterol. Atherosclerosis occurs when cholesterol building up in the artery wall becomes lesions that are called plaques, and which can eventually cause heart attacks and strokes from reduced blood flow.
According to AstraZeneca, Crestor is the first statin drug to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of atherosclerosis. This class of drugs includes such blockbuster drugs as Lipitor, Zocor and Pravachol. For the 12-month period ending March 2007, the statin market had sales of $18.7 billion in the U.S., according to IMS Health. Lipitor, the leader in this category, as well as the worldŌĆÖs best selling drug, had sales of $12.8 billion in 2006. Crestor brought in over $2 billion for AstraZeneca last year, making it the companyŌĆÖs third-best selling product.
ŌĆ£This new indication gives Crestor an important differentiator from competitors in the cholesterol-lowering marketplace,ŌĆØ AstraZeneca said in a statement. At the beginning of the month, it was announced that Cobalt Pharmaceuticals had filed for a generic version of Crestor. While that move would not have an immediate impact on sales of the drug, this new approval for AstraZeneca certainly will.

L.A. Noire is now available worldwide.
This is a reminder that L.A. Noire is out now in North America. Rockstar was gracious enough to allow us the opportunity to play the game this past weekend and I must say, the game is nothing short of amazing and is revolutionary in every sense of the word. The amount of content and the attention to detail both TeamBondi and Rockstar have managed to achieve is stunning. The world feels absolutely alive and is one of the best looking open world games yet boasting highly addicting and satisfying gameplay. You will not be disappointed getting L.A. Noire and at $60, it is quite frankly a steal but don't just take our word for it. L.A. Noire has been getting extremely positive reviews all around. Here is a collection of just some of the reviews so far:
"L.A. Noire is a bold release, because it defies the expectations not just for the type of game Rockstar usually releases, but also for the type of game that receives this degree of care and proficiency in its execution." - Giant Bomb: 5/5
"This is vastly different from the countless first- and third-person shooters and all the 'me too' open-world games sitting on store shelves. All the things I've only read about in Dashiell Hammett novels, or seen in film classics like Double Indemnity, have all come to interactive life in L.A. Noire. Team Bondi has gone to great lengths to wrap you up in the game's story, and from my experience they've succeeded. I investigated these crimes. I apprehended the suspects. I pieced together all the clues. L.A. Noire had me more involved in its first thirty minutes than some other games do in their entirety, and that makes this a game you may regret passing on. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon -- and for the rest of your gaming life." - 1UP: A
"Ever since it worked out how to assemble pixels so that they resembled something more recognisable than aliens, the games industry has dreamed of one thing above all else - a game that is indistinguishable from a film, except that you can control the lead character. With L.A. Noire, it just might, finally, have found the embodiment of that particular holy grail." - The Guardian: 5/5 Stars
"L.A. Noire approaches the dichotomy of interaction and narrative by integrating them together inextricably... Each element of the game is so intertwined with the other that it takes some time to realize the subversive genius on display; the story is the game, the game is the story... L.A. Noire transcends genre and the expectations of what a game can be and casts a spell that I have yet to shake." - G4: 5/5
"L.A. Noire is a game that needed making. It offers something truly unique in an unbeatable setting... a breath of fresh air in an otherwise increasingly stale industry." - NowGamer: 9.3/10
"What a marvellous advert L.A. Noire can be for the eclecticism of video games, taking familiar mechanics that have been honed down the years and moulding them into an ambitious drama of exceptional impact... on the strength of this case, I can only hope the rest of the industry follows LA Noire's lead." - The Telegraph: 9/10
"L.A. Noire is a unique game with a terrific sense of period atmosphere, absorbing investigation mechanics, and a haunting tale with plenty of moments that would be right at home in a classic film noir." - Gamespot: 9/10 Editor's Choice
"L.A. Noire is a staggering technological achievement, offering up a fantastically detailed open world, a hugely engrossing story, varied gameplay and some of the best acting performances ever to appear in a game. More impressively, all of its parts work together beautifully, creating an immensely fun adventure that's worth replaying at least once." - GamesRadar: 9/10
"If you really want to appreciate the aesthetics (especially the best-in-class lighting), turn on black-and-white mode and see just how closely Team Bondi and Rockstar have replicated the look of a classic film... This is a little glimpse of an explored territory in interactive media, a hint at an incredibly exciting future that I can only hope we're hurtling towards." - Joystiq: 4.5/5
"L.A. Noire is a testament to the possibility of bringing dark, adult, mature games to the mainstream market... truly mature, with the kind of narrative you'd only expect to see in a major TV drama series or crime movie. No game released this generation has tackled the subject matter found in L.A. Noire with the same degree of intelligence and respect, and no game has so seamlessly blended gameplay from various genres together so seamlessly, in a way that delivers something far more unique in experience than the sum of its parts. Add that sense of uniqueness and intelligence to the fact that L.A. Noire is a terrific bloody videogame, and you have what is guaranteed to be a classic for years to come. True maturity and narrative depth in mainstream gaming begins right here." - Destructoid: 9/10
Rockstar has added a brand new soundtrack section to the L.A. Noire website which features in-depth information about the artists and their tracks from the game. Also included are full-length previews of just some of the songs from the two soundtracks. For your convenice, we've embeded the currently available songs below. Check out the feature on the official site for more information.

Mulholland Books, Rockstar's partner for the short story collection "L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories", has released another story from the collection titled "See the Woman". It is available for reading now on the Mulholland Books website and will be available shortly on the official L.A. Noire website in PDF form.

As promised, the Official Launch Trailer for L.A. Noire has been released by Rockstar. At this point, I don't think anybody is really interested in reading, so check out the video below:
Next week, L.A. Noire will arrive in stores for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Today, check out the game's official launch trailer, which reveals evidence uncovered on the Vice desk and hints of a trail of corruption leading from drug dealers on the streets of Los Angeles to the highest offices of the LAPD.
Under a week to go until we can play this beautiful game...
In the recently released Xbox Live Marketplace schedule for May 10-23 L.A. Noire receives a special mention, not just for that fact that it is being released in under a week, but because of some unknown DLC entitled "Rockstar Pass" which will be available the day the game is released.
The DLC will cost you 800 Microsoft Points, and currently nothing is known about what exactly this 'Rockstar Pass' has to offer. We suspect Rockstar will announce something in relation to the DLC prior to the games release next week.
As a side note, the schedule eludes to there being L.A. Noire Avatar items available the day of the games release also, however what those items might be is anyones guess for the moment...

Rockstar has announced that the final trailer for L.A. Noire will be launching tomorrow Wednesday May 11th at noon eastern. Be sure to head on over to RockstarBoard and discuss what you wish to see in this last trailer before the launch of L.A. Noire next week!
The next story within the short story collection for L.A. Noire, titled "Hell of an Affair", has been released. Written by Duane Swierczynski, the story tells the tale of Mr. William Shelton and how to went from law-abiding citizen to the dark underworld of Los Angeles. You can read the new story and comment on it at our newly relaunched RockstarBoard or you can head on over to the offical website for L.A. Noire. You can also now pre-order the ebook, L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes for the low price of 99 cents.
Rockstar has posted a brand new L.A. Noire character dossier featuring Captain James Donnelly. Donnelly, who is officer-in-charge of the homicide desk, is a respected member of the LAPD. He will guide you throughout your career at the homicide division.
Official Site: L.A. Noire
The ninth story from the short story collection L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories, "What's in a Name?" which was written by Jonathan Santlofer, is now available in it's entirety for free on L.A. Noire's official site. The story follows a sociopath with knowledge of Los Angeles' underworld and a young LAPD detective who is trying to crack a murder case.

Today's lick is a ripping glam-metal solo from Satchel of the band Steel Panther.

Apple's Apology Goes Down Well in China
Description:Sometimes, sorry is good enough. Apple CEO Tim Cook's apology to Chinese customers seems to have won over the country's press, which had been accusing the tech giant of shoddy local service. The state-run Global Times in an editorial said Cook's move was the right one and deserved credit from Chinese consumers and the media. But Apple's loyal fans never seem to have swayed. (1:53)

In truth, if it were not for your website I would have neither and would want a higher priced doll but simply not be able to realistically do a payment plan of 3-6 months. I have my eye on one last artist doll but will see what happens. I had also thought about a large resin ball joint doll but when it comes to large dolls I truly prefer vinyl since it seems more durable than resin and porcelain in my opinion. Thank you again for everything!! K. W." August 12, 2013 Customer Comment: "Dear Ann and Randy, My Jordan twins arrived safe and sound! Olivia Stone babies get more beautiful with each sculpt. My babies were passed from arms, to arms being admired by my family. Even my husband smiled at them, and held them on his lap! I will treasure my babies always. Thank you for your exceptional customer service!!! L.C." June 10, 2013 Customer Comment: "Hi Randy, Thank you for your awesome service :). I always recommend your store to others as you have beautiful dolls and outstanding service. I'm so excited to be getting Marcy. She resembles my daughter when she was a baby. My mom agrees. I'll be calling her 'Boo' my daughter's nickname :). Have a great weekend and thank you again :) RY-J" June 10, 2013 Customer Comment: "Wow! She (Tenleigh by Tasha) is stunning and exactly how I pictured her. Thank you so much, I will try and pay the balance by Tuesday and get her home ASAP. I can then look and see who catches my eye next, knowing you look after your customers so well :). Best wishes, JS" "Hi Ann, I just wanted to let you know Tenleigh arrived safe and sound and I am thrilled with her. She is a keeper for sure. Thank you so much! Hugs, NP" "Hi Ann, Tenleigh arrived home safe and sound on Monday...I am so happy to have her here. She is beautiful, and Tasha did a wonderful job on her. Her silicone is so soft and squishy. I am really enjoying her...and she is coming on a trip with me to visit my sister in Edmonton, Alberta. I am also meeting up with some friends from Doll-fan...so can't wait for them to see her also. Thanks so much for the wonderful service. Love and Hugs, LB" "Hi Ann & Randy, Tenleigh arrived today & I am thrilled with her. So nice to have a Tasha baby again. Am very pleased with your service & look forward to seeing more of your beautiful babies to tempt me. J.T." "Good Evening! Thank you so much for the sweet silicone doll (Tenleigh by Tasha). She is at home (Sweden) now and feeling good! This one is gorgeous, soft and cuddly! I am very happy for her. Thank you for making everything so well! Have a great day and evening! Kind regards, M.F." "Hi Anna and Randy, Tenleigh arrived today. She is adorable, cuddly, and so "real" looking. She is the softest silicone baby I have seen!!! She feels like lifelike baby skin. It usually takes me a few days to bond with a new baby, but with this one, it was love at first sight!!! J.D." From H.M. in The Netherlands, "Dear Anna, Now that I see her in daylight, I am amazed by all the detail, She even has a little nest hair in her face, you can hardly see it her thumb in her mouth its awesome ..I love her !!!!!

She is the most precious baby ever. Thank you so much for all you have done in arranging for me to have her hair color, ect. The posting of her and all hte communication. I really appreciate it. Thanks Again." From M.F. in Stockholm, "THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I´m very happy to have this really really sweet baby! She is the most cute little girl - a real masterpiece! I just wonder what material she is made from? She is really adorable , just like a newborn baby, with that innocent little face. Thank you also for a very kind and friendly contact and for the beautiful accessories and photos and cards . I will treasure them all! I was very happy with the painting and rooting too. She looks so natural! Because I paint and root myself, I have high quality demands and this doll is all perfect!! I LOVE HER and she´s going to stay with me forever as an inspiration. She looks almost like my little newborn grandchild too, thats quite amazing! I wish you all luck with your business and must say that you are the BEST! Kind regards." From M.F. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!

When I opened the box and the wrapping her little eyes were looking right in to mine! What a sweet loving expression! (I had to give her a kiss or two, haha.) She is really exquisite and more-almost as if she has a soul! Maja does a remarkable job with the little faces, I think. Can you tell I'm more than happy with her? ....I can't wait to finish paying for Lindsey so I can see her! Have a Fabulous Day!" From J.D. "Hi Ann & Randy, Isabela (new silicone baby by Tasha) just arrived. She is such an amazing baby!!! The sculpting on this baby is magnificent...so true to life. She is an adorable baby." From B.M. "Oh my gosh, what a wonderful surprise to come home to after being out shopping!!! My Haylee is absolutely adorable, absolutely perfect - exactly what I wanted! Sandy is utterly amazing. She has made this baby come to life - so real. I love her coloring - her rosy cheeks and her hair color is exactly what I envisioned. I love the amount of hair she has and Sandy remembered the barrette which is perfect. And a bonus bonnet to bout - to show her wee bangs peaking out from it. The outfit is so sweet and of course she must wear pink for sure. Lastly, her eyes are placed spot on to my liking, something I always am drawn to, almost immediately before anything else. Thank you so very, very much Sandy. You made my dream baby come true. And Ann, thank you for all your help in relaying my info back to Sandy. I can hardly wait to have this sweetheart home with me." Ann and Randy, Just a short note to say that Jayden #11 arrived safely on late Tuesday. I've been so busy holding her that I haven't had a chance to let you know! She is so adorable. Her pictures did not do her justice as her little face is just precious. But the most amazing thing to me is her hands and feet. Sebilla has done a masterful job on the wee fingers and toes. It's just so good. Her coloring is spot on, too. Anyone who is thinking of adopting one of the Jaydans should not miss out on this great sculpt. Bos Babies are Best! Thank you also for all your assistance and patience in helping me bring this little one home! Love, C.T. May 2, 2012 Customer Comment: "Hello Ann, I just unwrapped Cinderella. She is so beautiful. I am very lucky to have gotten her from your shop. You have been so nice and helpful. Can't wait to receive Breanna. Sincerely, L.W." May 4, 2012 Customer Comment: "Dear Ann, Thanks so much for beautiful Ira who arrived yesterday and was opened today! She's gorgeous and a perfect edition to my Sutter family. Thanks again for being so awesome about layaway!! I wouldn't have either of these two beauties with the great service that you and Randy offer. Hugs, S.M." March 29, 2012 Customer Comment: "Ann and Randy, Thank you for all the support and respect you give your customers. This is something I have never experienced in all my years of doll collecting. I am going through one of the most difficult times in my life and it is comforting to look forward to getting Clementine and Elizabeth Rose. From now on I will be getting my special babies from special people like you. Thanks again, M.G." February 2012 Customer Comment: "Hi Anna, Bella Joy just arrived. Wow!! She is a big, heavy baby. She is so well made, and adorable. Rita sent an extra outfit, and some other baby things. So nice of her!!! You and Randy have been wonderful to work with. Ann, you are always willing to talk dollies with me, and I never feel that you are too busy to talk. Thanks you both for everything. Your customer service is the best!! From J.D." "Dear Ann & Randy, My mom and I would like to thank you so much for everything you have done to bring Jordan (by Olivia Stone) home. He is everything that my mom wanted to be and so much more. He's exactly what my mom wanted. There are many babies that never look exactly like the pictures but he does. Olivia Stone did such an amazing job on him. We thank her and you both so much for everything. From A and C. January 2012" "Hi Ann and Randy, Little Baby Peanut (by Carol Kneisley) has arrived safe and sound and I am thrilled to bits with him. Thank you very much for organizing the adoption for me so that I could afford to bring him home. He arrived yesterday which was actually my birthday, he was not planned as my pressie but the day was extra special due to his arrival. I unwrapped his legs first and they are such adorable legs with those wrinkly feet and knees that I actually felt emotional (not like me at all when unwrapping a doll). His gorgeous face is full of character and I love the Silicone eyes. Love, love him. Off for more cuddles, that you so much. Hugs, T. January 2012." "Hi Ann and Randy, Melissa and Dawson Edenholm are officially home! They arrived this morning safe and sound. Both babies are adorable and could most certainly be taken for "twins" which is what I so wanted. They have the most realistic skin tone I have ever seen in sculpting clay. Also, I cannot believe how lifelike their little hands and feet look - amazing detail. Tasha clothed both in the cutest outfits. I love Melissa's hand knit sweater and blanket. Thank you very much to Tasha and to you both. Best, BM. November 23, 2011." "Hi Ann, Just wanted to send a quick thanks for the pictures of my Sutter doll! She looks gorgeous and I know she will be even more so in person. Thanks again for the great service! You guys are awesome. Hugs, S.M." "Maja Bill's Rose is absolutely STUNNING! She is even better in person than in the pictures. I'm so happy to have discovered this fine artist. I look forward to Sabrina's arrival. Thanks, N.B." "Hi Ann, Tiny Little Jilli just arrived at her forever home. She is simply adorable. The way she was made and her pretty outfit, she is so precious to me. Thank you so much. As always, your babies and your service are extraordinary! Best Wishes Always, P.K." "Hi Ann, The Heirloom Set by Bo was just delivered and I'm absolutely thrilled! Both dolls are just adorable and love their tiny teddy bears. Also loved the nice note from you as well as card and note from Bo herself. Also what a wonderful second outfit for the tiny girl! I do love the crochet one on her with the rose and matching hat and booties too. Thank you so much for getting the order out so quickly as well - was in shock when the doorbell rang a bit ago. Very nice doing business with you. G." Hi Randy, Ann and Randy, Hi Ann and Randy, Aura Sutter (by Angela Sutter) has arrived safe and sound and I am in awe (excuse the pun). Really think she is amazing and never thought I would love a vinyl as much as my Sinami Himmie but do love Aura just as much. Thank you very much for your patience and layaway during the past year. Talk again soon, Tarsha M., Australia, 4-21-11. Hi Ann and Randy, I have the most beautiful doll in my house----Jennifer. Her hair is magnificent. I am so in love with her. Sebilla should really make more redheads. Thank you so much for allowing the layaway, although it was kind of short! I will definitely be back. I wish I had discovered the Doll Connection Store a long time ago. See you soon. Jo Anne Dear Ann and Randy, OMG!! Donna is so beautiful. She can now be the twin sister to my other redhead by Sebilla. I took the wrapping off so slowly and saved the wrapping around her head till the last thing. I wanted to savor how beautiful I knew she would be. I was so right. I love this baby and her outfit is so pretty. Thank you so much for getting her more me. Y'all make everything so easy and are so dependable. It's like having my own personal "doll shopper". There are a lot of companies that need to take lessons from you two on how to treat customers. Your the best!! Thanks so much. J.D. From DJ, 11/14/06: Hi Ann & Randy. I received Nuala today. She is just gorgeous! I have not been able to see her in the sunlight as I got home from work late today. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to check her out in good lighting and take some pictures. She is beautiful beyond my expectations. Thank you for being so great with answering all my questions. Being a newbie I just did not know what to expect. Ann I love the gold and I am so glad I took your advice. I was so surprised when Randy telephoned me in response to my email. You both sent out of your way for me and I truly appreciate it. You guys are terrific! D. From JD, 9/29/06: Hi Ann! Oh my goodness!! Just when I thought I couldn't be anymore in love! The first baby to arrive home was Nick! And his little face was too custe for words - and I LOVE his curly hair! I couldn't put him down! Later that day, Gianni arrived - and I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face...And now, I also have Lynne, who is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I just can't stop looking at them! I have been an avid doll collector for years - and these are my first OOAK adoptions! All I can say is that I could not be any happier - all around! Sebilla Bos is a phenomenal doll artist! Her attention to detail is jut incredible!! My family and friends are truly amazed with lhow real they seem. They're all so entirley realistic, that I almost wait for them to move! There's no doubt in my mind that she makes each baby, lovingly....It shows on each of their faces... And lastly, you and Randy are a doll collector's DREAM! The level of customer service you provide - the way you so carefully pack and ship the babies, etc., deserves the highest of praises! Your commitment to me as a colletor has earned by loyalty to you both! Thanks SO much, for everything! Hugs, DJ Hi Ann and Randy, I have the most beautiful doll in my house----Jennifer. Her hair is magnificent. I am so in love with her. Sebilla should really make more redheads. Thank you so much for allowing the layaway, although it was kinda short! I will definitely be back.

Waltraud did a wonderful job on this doll. Will take pictures and post them on Doll fan later on in the day after lunch sometime. Thank you so much for the nice card and you will be hearing from me in the future concerning my doll purchases. You are the best retailer for dolls that I have ever had the pleasure to do business with. Hugs, Diane Hi Ann, From Linda, 7/14/06: Hi Ann and Randy, Wanted you to know that I received Ashlyn (an Artists Original by Rustie) yesterday. She is everything that I expected and more!! I love her dolls and I love your wonderful customer service! You both are great to work with and have shown me empathy and understanding in times of hardship. I love working with both of you and your cards when I get the dolls are so personal and that means a lot also. I have purchased many dolls from your including Annette Himstedt and I always know I am going to get a doll that has been inspected fully for flaws. I have always been happy with my purchases. Thanks again and God Bless you Both!!! I will call soon with another order!! Sincerely, Linda From Bev, 7/12/06: Hi Ann and Randy! I just want to thank you so very much for baby "Shannon"! She arrived today in perfect condition and I know a good part of that was do to the way you "lovingly" packed her! When I finally got to see Shannon, I was brought to tears! I have never seen a "Bos" creation up front and personal and no words could begin to describe my shock at how real to life she looked. What a gift Sebilla Bos bestows on us collectors! Thank you so much for providing this artists' doll to the States and now for me in Canada. Its been a pleasure doing business with you. If the timing had been a bit better on my part I would have loved to have had "Jennifer" in my arms too as I'm extremely partial to blue-eyed, curly haired red heads - especially her "sculpt"! Lucky "new" mommy...but so am I!!! I need to savor the moments with Shannon. Again, my thanks to both of you. Regards, Bev From R.B., 11/7/03: Thank you soooooo much - You are such a pleasure to buy from --- patient - caring -helpful ---and integrity!!!!. You get to know us personally --- and don't treat us like a number! Thank you so much. Love, R.B. From M. E. , 8/13/03: Thank you for the communication you kept up with me as I awaited the arrival of each doll. Your phone calls announcing when each was being sent gave me something special to look forward to during the week. I cherish each one of these lovely dolls and each will find a special place in my home...I found you on line!! I was able to get everything I wanted without the stress and bother I experienced last year. You definitely have a satisfied customer who will be returning for more purchases...Keep up the great work. Its nice to know that I have found a dedicated dealer who promotes good customer service with a nice personal touch. Please keep me informed of any special announcements or news during the year. I will continue to enjoy your newsgroup and visit you website often. Thanks again for everything! Fondly, M.E. From J.S., 8/14/02: Good Morning Ann! What a lovely thing you do...sending the 8x10 photo of the little darling. The packet of items was so gracious and welcoming! I just wanted you to know it was appreciated and I'll look forward to hearing Miki has arrived. Thanks again! J.S. From D.H., 9/21/01: Dear Ann and Randy, This email is well over a week late but I do want to thank you for the fantastic job you did of sending my Pinki out to me. I appreciate your personal service with the nice card inside. Those little touches make such a difference...Again, thank you so much. Your top notch customer service is greatly appreciated. Enjoy your day. D.B. From M., 11/7/02: Dear Ann and Randy, Effi arrived safe and sound this afternoon. I absolutely adore her. She has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen on a doll.

Very warmest regards, M. From J.B., 11/9/02. Hi Ann: Thank you so much for Sofi. You are such a great dealer, and so nice to work with. That was great of you to call & let me know she was coming. She came the very next day! I am sorry I haven't let you know yet but my computer was down. I love her! She is beautiful...Thanks so much! I hope there are some next season I can get from you. Hope they are as good as this year. Have a great weekend! J.B. From G.G., 1/2/03: Hi Ann and Randy, Thanks once again for making another doll buying experience a pleasure. I am looking forward to the 2003's as I am sure everyone else is! G.G. From N.S., 5/16/03: Ann, I just wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the service you have provided during my purchase of Bear Belly Buttons. I just love her! She is so precious. Living away from the mainstream has not always been easy for me, as I have to scan the internet to choose a reliable dealer. But, finally, I have found you and will never stray again. you have shown remarkable professionalism and kindness over the phone and the internet. And....so many thanks for your gift. God bless you! N.S. From G.G., 10/12/02: Ann, Just a note to let you know that my receipt for Efi arrived in today's mail, along with the photo, and all the rest of the goodies that you sent. I have done business with many doll shops over the years that I have been collecting, but you and Randy make it so much more personal and more fun to buy dolls. I want you to know that you have just gotten a new customer, and I am really anxious to receive Efi. I think my husband is more excited about her impending arrival than I am!!! Thanks again for helping me to get my Efi. G.G. From M.L., 8/12/02: Dear Ann and Randy, Wow what a surprise in the mail today! How nice of you to send the 8X10 photos of my new girls and a gift certificate for next purchase as well, plus the lovely letter. I really appreciate it and feel you must have a very successful business when you treat your customers so well!! You are delightful to work with. Can't wait to talk with you after Natasha (by Zawieruszynski) arrives. Again thank you for your truly professional and most friendly service. Blessings, M.L. From A.M., 8/1/02: Hi Ann! I just wanted to drop a note and let you know that I received Savannah today. She is absolutely wonderful. Thanks again for your patience. It was a pleasure to do business with you. Sincerely, A.M. From A.C., 4/24/02: Hi Ann & Randy, Lila arrived today safe, sound and just beautiful. Thank you so much for both Nikola and Lila (Zawieruszynski's) - they are both exquisite dolls. Please make sure to tell the artists the next time you speak with them how beautiful their dolls are and how much I appreciate them making the extra effort with Nikola. The extra dress was so unexpected, but it is such a treasure. I'll be in touch and it's been my pleasure to do business with you. This is certainly not the last time. Thanks again, A.C. From E.G., 7/29/02: Hi, Ann! I wanted to be sure and thank you so much for your kindness and caring that you give to your customers. It is evident in your voice tone and the emails you post. I appreciate your helping me do a layaway on Ilse and am thrilled that there was an Ilse LEFT!!! You have sense of being that is very comforting and friendly, and it makes buying at your store a very pleasant experience! Thanks Again! E.G. From E.G., 6/9/02: Hi, Ann and Randy, Thanks SO much for the wonderful Trudie! She is as cute and wonderful as a doll can possibly be - although, when FIBI is sent out, I imagine that Trudie Will have a "tie" with Fibi on all counts, cute as a button, unbelievable clothes, QUICK shipping, terrific customer service, and fantastic doll crafts-woman-ship(!), as well as lovability factor and looking like a real, live child! I am so appreciative of your kindness and caring, and your unparalleled customer service. I am so happy with Trudi! Take good care and thank you! E.G. From A.M., 3/15/02: Dear Ann and Randy, Thank you for sending the tracking number. I have found that she will arrive on Tuesday and I'm very excited about that. She will be my first bigidur doll and a dream come true since I've admired the Jutta Kissling dolls from afar for some time. Thank you, again, too for such a pleasant experience with the Doll Connection Store. Sincerely, A.M. From L.M., 2/11/02: Dear Ann and Randy, It was such a pleasant surprise to receive your letter and photo of Miri in the mail yesterday! And thank you very much for the gift certificate. You have such a nice, personal touch that it makes doll buying a joy, which of course, it should be. The photo really made me excited: I feel like I have a school girl crush, staring at her photo all the time, LOL! Before my computer died week before last, I had printed out a b&w picture of her from the website: I stared at that while I was off-line--how nice to now have such a gorgeous photo of her to tide me over until she arrives in "person". I have really enjoyed all the pictures on your website, and information you have posted to the group regarding the new dolls--what an exciting line--how lucky you are to be able to see them all in person, as they come in. Thank you again for your wonderful photo and gift certificate. Love, L.M. From M.D., 10/26/01: Dear Ann and Randy, I just wanted to drop you a really big Thank You for all your help and excellent service. I received Aries on Tuesday and you're right, she is absolutely gorgeous, I have not seen anything that pretty in a while. This will make a wonderful Christmas gift for my mother, since she has never had one of "Rustie's ladies" before. Anyway, Thank You for being so kind and gracious to me, that is an honorable quality, never lose that!. Sincerely, M.D. From A.C., 3/14/2002: Well, I must say I never came across a dealer that will help out someone so much. Thanks to her (Ann) I will have my first FayZah Spanos doll for Christmas from mom who said she would never buy a doll that costs that much...Hee Hee. Isn't she GREAT though (my mom). Anyway, Ann my mom got me this doll and I am so Thankful words can never express how happy I am so far with our transaction and this woman (Ann) is the sweetest doll store owner I have come across and I thought I had met some nice people which of course I have but none this wonderful. If you ever need a recommendation on buying from her (Ann) I give her a 15 and a 1-10 scale. Thank you, Ann! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY & CHRISTMAS! Biggest doll hugs ever, A.C., a returning customer. From J.H., 3/15/02: Dear Ann & Randy, Even thought all I have done is put a doll on layaway, I wish to thank you for your personal service. I appreciate the way I have been treated as a customer: I feel very special, even though I've "met" you only over the telephone! When the receipt for my layaway arrived yesterday, I was further pleased with a letter from you, as well as gift certificate toward my next doll (how did you know I'm already thinking of who will be next in my doll budget?!). The most delightful surprise, however, was the picture of Mathilde you sent. She's already in a picture frame on the refrigerator with all the other photos of our family. (I have a wonderful husband who has no objection to the idea of my dolls being part of the family!). I applaud your method of doing business: you have already made another loyal customer (and I won't get my doll until May!). Sincerely, J.H. From Janey, 3/11/2001: "I loved your site!" From Sandra, 4/11/2001: "I was viewing your website and it is so wonderful." "The pictures on your sight are great." From Joy, 4/11/2001: "I found your website address in Doll Reader. It really looks great." From Cindy, 3/17/2001: "Your site is wonderful! You give so much information on all your items. Thanks again for the wonderful service." From Janet, 4/6/2001: "I love browsing about your site and looking at all the wonderful pictures and great descriptions." From Gretha, 4/13/2001: "I was viewing your site and it is just awesome!"

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fume 2005
Sauvignon Blanc from Loire, France
Winemaker's Notes
Grape Type: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Vinification: Grapes come from 20 acres in 3 separate vineyards owned by Pascal Jolivet in the villages of Tracy, Les Girarmes, and St. Andelain; and additional sourcing from Les Loges. These constitute a large diversity of glacial soils, differing from village to village. Les Loges: very calcareous. Full, firm wines. Saint Andelain: clay-siliceous and siliceous. Provide fruit, bouquet. Tracy sur Loire: sandy and limestone base. Delicacy, aromatics.
Vinification is very traditional slow fermentation (6-8 weeks) with natural yeasts and no malolactic. The wine is left on the lees for a minimum of 4-6 months. Bottled between May and September.
Tasting Notes: Pale straw in color. Piquant, minerally, austere, and very clean nose. The palate is open, fresh, and direct, with ripe fruit flavor. Clean biting finish; very youthful; minerally flavors resurface.
Food Match: sushi, shellfish, pork, fish, Asian cuisine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "This is round and ripe, veering towards tropical flavors of papaya and mandarin orange. There's a grapefruit bite of acidity on the finish that holds it together, providing freshness and verve."
Pascal Jolivet Winery
The house of Pascal Jolivet is one of the youngest and most dynamic in the Loire Valley. Founded in 1985, this specialist in the wines of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume has very quickly gained a leading position with the Michelin-starred restaurants of France. Pascal owns an estate of more than 40 acres evenly divided between two appellations. He believes strongly in letting nature make the wine as much as possible, and seeks to tame the more aggressive qualities of the Sauvignon Blanc variety. His wines show the benefits of stainless steel vatting with naturally occurring yeasts. They are fermented cool rather than cold and are left of their lees for four to six months, gaining subtle but complex aromas as a result.
The Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume both originate from the Jolivet estate. The Sancerre is a composite of the three soil types in the district: calcareous clay, limestone, and flint. It is more flowery and subtle than many of its type. Pouilly-Fume, from the opposite bank of the Loire, comes from a large diversity of glacial soils and is normally more austere and minerally.

About Loire
View a map of Loire wineries It's unfortunate that this region is so under appreciated and overlooked - the wines from the Loire Valley are outstanding. They are delicious examples of varietal and soil expression and the wide range of wines is so refreshing. Dry, sweet, sparkling, red, white… all represented here in the Loire. The main white grapes are Chenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable Facts
As for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.About France - Other regions
When it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide

Sukhmani Sahib: Song of peace
This iphone book has following features:
- Full Sukhmani Sahib in HINDI LANGUAGE
- No need for internet connectivity to view content
- Each page changes with swipe and button options
- No need of Language Setting
- Elegant Layout & Cool Design
- Easy to carry everywhere you go
Sukhmani or Sukhmani Sahib is the title given to the Gurbani in raga Gauri Sukhmani in the Guru Granth Sahib which in turn appears in the major musical measure Raga Gauri to which it belongs. It is a lengthy composition, written by Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru. The sacred prayer spans 35 pages from page 262 to page 296 of the Guru Granth Sahib.
The word Sukhmani is rendered into English as consoler of the mind. The entire poem has been translated into English more than once under the commonly preferred title, "Jewel of peace", Psalm of peace or Song of peace, signifying the soothing effect it has on the mind of the reader. Sukh literally means peace or comfort and mani means mind or heart also jewel ( in Gurmukhi can mean jewel, gem, precious stone).
The couplet, "Sukman suk amri parab nm. Baga jan kai man bisrm. Raho." which translates to "Sukhmani: Peace & pure ambrosial Nectar are in God's Name. The devotees mind abide in bliss and calm peace. ||Pause||" constituting rahau, the only one in the composition, which means pause or rest and which is an equivalent of the Hebrew word selah occurring in the Psalms, sums up the most characteristic feature of this bani. According to this couplet, Sukhmani is the bringer of the bliss of the Lords name; it dwells in the hearts of those who love Him.
The Sukhmani Sahib has structural unity. The composition consists of 24 Astpadis each of which begins with a Salok and is followed by 8 Pauris or stanzas. Each stanza has ten lines, which consist of five couplets. There is also the unity of theme: the perfection of man mentally. morally and spiritually. The Salok at the beginning of each Astpadi (canto) gives the gist of the 8 Pauris (stanzas) that follow this salok.
One of the fundamental texts of the Sikh faith, the Sukhmani presents a complete scheme of the teachings of the Sikh faith. While each astpadi has a fresh vision to impart, a particular aspect of Truth to unfold, the whole text may be regarded as the reiteration of basic themes such as Divine immanence, Divine compassion, abundance of grace, Gods succouring hand, the merit of devotion, of holy company and humility. With such reiteration, the composition as a whole has a remarkable gripping quality reinforced by the striking imagery which in stanza after stanza brings home to the seeker the truths he must own.
(Ref. http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Sukhmani)
This book is not intended as a substitute to the study of the original scripture, which has timeless beauty and relevance.

Do kissing gourami make bubble nest Hi' I have 4 kissing gourami fish.I have had them for around 4 years' they are for ever kissing each other and twirling around.What i like to know do they make a bubble nest there is never any signs of one.I do have a few floating plants in the tank Thanks.Mark |
Wow, how big is your tank??? it must be pretty big to keep 4 grown (Helostoma temmincki) kissing gourami, I know they breed at a smaller size maybe 5-6in. by being 4 years old I am sure that they have reached close to full grown 10-12in...impressive fish...for sure......these are really cool fish, I was never able to get fry to live very long, just a few days and dead......this was about 15 years ago so some info may have changes since I tried on breeding these guys and raising fry...lol....Mine were about 8inx5in when they first spawned...they can be real tank busters for sure...but such cool fish...now I miss them...lol.... They spawn like the Betta splendens and embrace but they don't build nest, their eggs are lighter than water and float, hatch in 24-28 hours at 80-81F water, no care or anything by either parent and if they don't eat the eggs they usually leave the fry alone as long as you have some floating plants and in aged tank you should have microorganisms for the fry to feed on and NHBBS, white worms etc...but I never made it that far, I removed my pair once I got eggs after the third try and failure with fry to see if that helped..good luck let us know how it turns out and what you did....... |
Hi' Thanks alot for your help and time.My tank is 4FT long the 4 fish are around 7 inches long.I'll have to keep a closer watch on them.Mark |
Good luck...I hope you have better luck than me....and it is so much fun trying.......regardless......love to see some pic......this brings lots of great memories back.....lol......these are really neat and fun fish to have....... keep us posted..... |
The eggs float? :shock: That must be really awkward for egg bound females. |

PrayerGroup - Christian Social Network & Christian Facebook
Christian Social Network - Christian Blog - Christian Facebook
A fascinating theme threads its way through many reviews of the movie 'The Social Network'. Roger Ebert seemed to lead the way (makes sense) and here are a couple of representative quotes:
"To conceive of Facebook, Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) needed to know almost nothing about relationships or human nature (and apparently he didn't)."
"…programming languages and techniques are widely known, but it was Zuckerberg who intuited how he could link them with a networking site. The genius of Facebook requires not psychological insight but its method of combining ego with interaction. Zuckerberg wanted to get revenge on all the women at Harvard. To do that, he involved them in a matrix that is still growing."
Even the name of the film, "The Social Network", is cold: it has a post 2000's computery feel to it, like "The Matrix" but without the chance of anything blowing up (besides Facebook's bank account). Imagine – the largest structure ever devised to bring people together in a social scaffolding was constructed by someone who essentially had no insight into relationships or human nature. How can this be?
It's simple, actually. Social networks are as inherently emotional as highway concrete. They are a WAY to socially interact, a route to a goal sent through a router, and not to be confused with the warm glow of friendship or the murmur of good conversation or the firm grip of a handshake in and of themselves. It is the people IN the social network that transform it (or not) into something worthwhile and interesting.
Much of Facebook has devolved into the random sputterings of the frustrated or time-wasting games involving cyber farms and invented personas. Facebook users have increasingly fallen for the easy trap of thinking that any interaction that makes them feel good automatically must BE good. The meaningless action of posting supportive 'statuses' has become a secular (and virtually toothless) form of praying for somebody. But this form of praying only works in bulk, like buying a box of good vibes from Costco. As Mark Zuckerberg intuited, it is quantity, not quality.
It is incumbent upon social networks to up the ante in terms of doing real good, and Christian Social Networks like PrayerGroup.org are stepping up to the plate. The amazing thing about a prayer request is this: only God can answer a prayer, but you can answer a prayer request. Any Christian can. By providing a forum where prayer requests can be met PrayerGroup.org and other sites like it bring real and selfless action to a field that can so easily just be empty words and statistics. Your 'status' for the day doesn't change – your day is still good or bad, your weather is still fair or poor, your team either just won or lost. But you are praying for someone, in detail, for the glory of God. It's not 'combining ego with interaction'. It's infinitely better than that.

What is a Christian Social Network?
With over 350,000 churches in the United States its can be hard to keep track of what Christian resources are in your community. We find that the best way to meet Christian friends is through a Christian Social Network that provides both rich faith-based content and the ability to meet people to learn about churches and other faith-based organizations near you. PrayerGroup is The Social Network for Christians.
Christian Social Networking is among the fastest growing segments on the internet, as it allows members to enjoy their faith online through Christian blogs, prayer requests and other faith-based forums. Commonly referred to as the Christian Facebook, Christian Social Networks like PrayerGroup, also allow Members to connect through Christian Chat forums which provide a real-time exchange. PrayerGroup.org is among the fastest growing Christian Social Networks in the world. It's online Christian Community features more than 70,000 churches in the United State making it the largest free online church community in the country. PrayerGroup features include: Christian Blogs and Christian Articles, Christian Members from over 120 countries, Christian Prayer Requests(International), Christian Chat and Online Bible. Join us today and see what you're missing!
Christian Blogs and Christian Articles
Many Christians have found that they can grow and share their faith through daily or weekly blogs. A Christian blog is a short article that allows the writer to share his or her experiences in life with the reader. Frequently, a Christian blog can discuss topics such as the bible, bible verses or other traditional religious topics or it can be a casual discussion about Christian life including family, friends or other topics.
There are thousands of individual Christian blogs on the internet but there are very few places where people can view Christian blogs from a variety of different writers. PrayerGroup's Christian blog section allows its Members to read blogs from people all over the world. Many blogs are inspirational, others discuss challenges we face in life as Christians. By sharing our works in one Christian community, we are able to see different viewpoints, follow certain writers or make new friends through a connection we make in either reading or writing a Christian blog. Often referred to as the Christian Facebook, PrayerGroup provides rich socially responsible content that goes well beyond traditional social networks.
Come join us in sharing your faith through your own Christian blog. Share with others on PrayerGroup, Facebook or Twitter all at one time with a simple click. PrayerGroup's Word Press application even allows existing Christian blog sites to share your external blogs on your PrayerGroup profile page.

How to Pray - Finding Your Voice With God
Each afternoon, you probably talk about your day with your family or friends, reviewing the highlights and perhaps discussing problems you faced that day. Daily prayer is reviewing your day with God. It is how we count our blessings for what went well or seek guidance when we need it. Prayer is an intimate conversation, where you can say anything with the understanding that forgiveness and grace can be yours.There are many types of prayer. There are words of praise for God's magnificence, prayers expressing gratitude for your blessings or simple humble requests of God when you or another is in need. Prayer is simply a conversation with God and like all relationships, the more we communicate, the closer we become with the Lord.The way you communicate with God, need not be like anyone else. Some pray through meditation (or complete silence), while others speak out loud. Prayer often takes practice before you find your "voice" with God and you begin to feel comfortable with the relationship you are building with him.
Christian Prayer Requests - Think Prayer at www.thinkprayer.com
The term prayer group refers to a small group of people that come together to pray for those in need. Fellowships around the world do this while recognizing that collective prayer is both powerful and healing.
Today, through social media, we are able to connect Christian from different countries and cultures instantly. Through an international prayer request forum, PrayerGroup is able to provide a means for Christians to post prayer requests worldwide and receive immediate responses as others pray for them in kindness.
With over 91 countries represented in PrayerGroup, our international prayer request forum is a place where friendships are immediately developed through the simple act of prayer. We are also able to bring Christians together to pray for a common cause that may be affecting our world.
In addition to the international prayer request forum, PrayerGroup's Christian Community allows members to pray in real-time through its Christian Chat feature. Here, you will find many Members who come together to pray or discuss the faith and develop new friendships.
To visit PrayerGroup's international prayer request forum, please login.
One of the most powerful ways to share God's word is through your own communication with friends, family, and others. Sharing the gospel by word-of-mouth has been instrumental to sharing the faith for centuries.
Today, our technology allows us to share in ways that fit our times. Email, social media and christian chat are all relatively new ways Christians can both share and learn from others. The Christian Chat feature on PrayerGroup allows Members to meet new people from around the world. Whether your discussion is about faith or simply a casual conversation about life, Christian Chat provides a new technology for groups and individuals to connect in a new way. Many groups use the Christian Chat feature to pray in real time or for bible study.
Try our Christian Chat feature on PrayerGroup and see how many new friends you can make in over 91 countries.

PrayerGroup is one of the few Christian Social Networks offering a full version of the King James Version bible in both digital .pdf and ebook formats. Our online bible in .pdf format is indexed by chapters allowing readers the ability to quickly find chapter and verse. In addition, the digital bible is also fully searchable, and allows the user to type any word in the search parameters. Since the text of the bible is fully recognized, you may also highlight, copy and paste portions of the bible text for use in online posts or for sharing in bible study.
In addition, PrayerGroup also offers an ebook bible for those who prefer the feeling of a digital bible but with the look and page turn of a transitional text. Our ebook bible is also searchable when viewed in full page format.
You can visit our bible online at: http://www.prayergroup.org/group/prayergroupbible
Looking for a Christian Partner?
The Christian dating scene has changed considerably over the last decade. There seems to be a Christian dating site everywhere you look. There are surveys to fill out, matching algorythms and all these other formulas used by dating sites to find the "perfect" match. But what ever happened to the concept of just simply meeting someone and learning about them through conversation?
PrayerGroup is a Christian Social Network that operates in over 120 countries including the United States, Canada, Philippines and India. We are not a typical dating site. We are here so you can find people you would have never met otherwise. They may be just around the corner, or in another country. The fact is, that you can meet anyone here if just say hello. We are free, we are Christian and our social network allows you to simply meet other people, enjoy their company and discuss whatever the two you might have in common. If this sounds simple, that becuase it is. This is how dating has worked for centuries. No forms, no surveys, no complicated algorythms...
You can find Christians who are single by using our advanced search tool in the members tab. While you're at it, come enjoy our christian music, christian blogs, chat with others in real-time or spend some quite time in our ebible forum.

Our History
The 18th Century
Concord's Colonial Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original structure was built in 1716, and the property has been operated as a hotel since 1889. Situated on Concord's town common, known as Monument Square, the Inn is surrounded by landmarks of our nation's literary and revolutionary history.
In 1775, one of the Inn's original buildings was used as a storehouse for arms and provisions. When the British came to seize and destroy the supplies, the Minutemen met them at the North Bridge on April 19th for what became the first battle of the American Revolution. The event is commemorated every April with a parade near the Inn and a ceremony at the North Bridge on Patriots Day.

While the distances are given in kilometers it is best that you plan your travel in terms of time as well. While roads are being fast upgraded congestion in some main highways and cities can cause delays. The best time for travel after an early breakfast or after lunch.
The public transport system is dependent on Buses and Trains. Generally, these tend to be crowded during peak hours and before and after weekends on long distance routes.
A relatively inexpensive mode of travel. Buses are operated by the state as well as by private operators. On main routes connecting cities such as Galle, Kandy, Kurunegala and Colombo you will find comfortable air conditioned buses albeit at a premium price. The comfort when on long journeys is well worth the extra charge.
Slightly more expensive than travelling in a bus.. There is a high possibility of a seat on long distance trains. It is definitely the most interesting way to enjoy the scenic beauty of the island as the Railway lines were intended to connect cities to bring produce to Colombo in the shortest possible time, in an age where packing crates and jute bags were the norm and refrigeration was not easy. The Railway lines run through scenic mountain passes and long tunnels into the hills, and on bridges built on over tranquil lagoons and winding rivers.
Taxis (radio cabs):
Please do inquire with your Hotel Front Desk/ Reception, as many would be happy to provide you with a taxi cab. Cars may be hired for your visits to places of interest on a predetermined itinerary at an agreed price, with information being readily available through maps, and guidebooks
This is an option that many visitors are comfortable with. The drivers of these 'TUK TUKs' (an appropriate name resonant with the noise made) are capable of communication no matter which language you speak. The gesticulations and the ingenious expressions they devise to explain a point is a form of entertainmentin itself. Most of these now have fare meters and thus spares you the pain of negotiation, and are quite reasonable.
Domestic passenger flights:
Those who would like to arrive at a destination faster and see the island with a scenic eye can use chartered flights from the Ratmalana Airport near Colombo. There is also an option to charter a light aircraft or book a private helicopter for transfers or day trips. I

Maxpedition knife pouches keep your most trusted knives organized and together in a durable nylon case. These pouches are constructed from high grade nylon and coated with a triple polyurethane Teflon coating for enhanced water resistance. Knife pouches by Maxpedition don't clip to your belt or strap to your ankle like a holster to keep your knives close at hand; instead, they're more like protective storage cases for your entire knife collection. One of these knife pouches can hold up to a dozen blades of different sizes, while others are designed for two or three knives, and still others provide a thick cushion of protection for just one large combat knife. Keep in mind, though, that Maxpedition didn't create their knife pouches to function as holsters. Instead, these Maxpedition pouches are useful for protecting your knives during travel or keeping them all together during hunting or a tactical operation. Knife pouches are also handy as protective cases for rifle scopes. Keep your knives secure and safe when you wrap them up in a Maxpedition knife carrying case.
