text: Hi guys, Im getting very close now to getting my Save the Date cards printed. Ive changed the design slightly since the last version I showed on here to make the card A6 in size. This is to save on costs and make it easier for us to find an envelope to match. Due to the change in size Ive had to re-arrange some of the elements on the design so Id appreciate any feedback on the overall balance and structure. I dont want it looking too gappy (the previous design was narrow so theres a lot of new space now with the changed to A6) Also, we are planning on getting the design letterpressed. The printer has suggested just letterpressing the words Amy&Dave but I imagined all of the navy blue to be letterpressed. Our printer has also suggested getting rid of the grey gradient and blind debossing the white snowflakes around the base of the design. I have no experience with this kind of printing so what do people think? Would white snowflakes on a white background look good when blind debossed? And should we just letterpress our names or the whole thing?

Retail Clinics May Play Important Role as Affordable Care Act Kicks In
February 22, 2011
Beginning in 2014, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is expected to significantly extend health insurance coverage by increasing Medicaid enrollment and offering federal subsidies for the purchase of private health insurance. However, there is no guarantee that the newly insured will be able to access the health care system in a timely fashion as new demand for services outstrips physician supply, says Paul Howard, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
Retail clinics may have a role in alleviating pressure on overcrowded physicians' offices and reducing inappropriate emergency room use, thereby lowering overall health care costs.
- Retail clinics offer readily accessible, high-quality care for a relatively limited set of basic health care ailments ranging from minor skin infections to sore throats and earaches.
- For the services they offer, quality appears to be at least equal to -- and, in some cases, superior to -- that offered by other types of providers.
- Total costs (to insurers and patients) of care at retail clinics appear to be significantly lower than those incurred by other types of providers such as physicians' offices, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms.
- A significant percentage of emergency room visits could be safely and effectively redirected to retail clinics, saving millions of dollars annually.
- Finally, retail clinics may be able to help reduce Medicaid patients' utilization of emergency rooms for minor ailments, although this would require retail clinics as well as Medicaid officials to create reimbursement and enrollment procedures that encourage appropriate retail clinic use.

We at EMC have a wide array of comprehensive health checkup programs for all ages and conditions that will help to identify any minor ailments and symptoms which could lead to a major health problem, if left uncared.

You missed the point. There are several posters here that have been posting NOTHING but attacks. There posts have NOTHING to do with "liver flushing" and the moderator has done nothing to stop them.
[Message to Hveragerthi: avoid posting objectionable content or you will be banned from this forum!]"
What is "objectionable content"? Any evidence posted showing "liver flushing" is objectionable to the "liver flush" supporters. On the other hand their constant barrage of attacks and lies are objectionable to not only me but some others I have spoken to. So why am I being targeted for banning while the "liver flush" supporters are left to run amok with constant attacks on anyone who is actually debating in a debate forum? Just more of the same old CureZone politics?
It is really simple, these are debate boards, not the personal bashing boards for the "liver flush" supporters. If they don't want to hear the evidence against liver flushing then stick to the "liver flush" support boards. If they don't want to provide real evidence in support of "liver flushing" in lieu of attacking people every chance they get then stick to the "liver flush" support forum. Trying to get someone banned for the sole reason that you have no real evidence to counter the fact that "liver flushing" is bogus just further proves the point I have been making all along.

classic hollywood: Errol Flynn in "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938)
June 18, 2011 by Dennis Amith
Another 8×11 photo I have in my collection of Errol Flynn is from the film "The Adventures of Robin Hood" from 1938. The film was originally planned for James Cagney, but he walked out and the role was given to Flynn and it would be a blessing for the actor as it was the second highest earning film of 1938 and it led to two more Warner Bros. color epics featuring Flynn.
Also, the film would win three of its four nominated Academy Awards and has appeared in various rankings as one of America's top films of all time, as well as making AFI's #18 heroes on "AFI's 100 Years… 100 Heroes and Villains" list and #11 on AFI's "100 Years of Film Scores" list.

Chris Wright's Premier Ethical hasn't just performed well versus other ethical funds, it sits in the top fifth of all funds investing in UK shares as well.
Putting money into "sin" stocks, such as tobacco companies, has been incredibly rewarding for long-term investors. In fact, a study last year by the London Business School found that, since 1900, the tobacco industry returned more for investors than any other.
Premier Ethical has achieved its returns despite avoiding such shares. Instead it looks to buy businesses that are not hurting society or the environment and that "have an emphasis on improving individuals' basic standard of living".
Many worry that investing ethically can result in lower returns and this is one of the main reasons why ethical funds seldom appear in brokers' best-seller lists.
In the case of Premier Ethical, picking from a smaller pool of shares has not handicapped the fund's performance. It has returned 74pc since 2011, ahead of 32pc for the average ethical rival and 30pc for the average UK fund.
Below Mr Wright explains his latest portfolio moves, and why bombed-out miners are a "value trap".
How do you select shares?
We have an ethical committee who lay out all the rules, outlining what types of investments are excluded. These include businesses that produce goods or services for weapons, tobacco businesses and gambling firms.
Ultimately we just look to exclude the really bad ones. The FTSE All Share has about 700 companies and the last time I checked I could not invest in 85 of these names.
This does not bother me, there are plenty of good companies out there. Unfortunately there are fund managers out there that stick closely to the index, but this is a fund that by definition has to be different.
I have been an investor for 32 years, so have seen a few market cycles. I firmly believe that to make money you need to have a mixture of three investment styles in your portfolio; value, momentum and quality. I tend to favour one style at a particular time, depending on where we are in the market cycle.
How is the portfolio positioned at the moment?
After the financial crisis in 2009 it was a great time to be a value investor as share prices were incredibly cheap.
But now, with the world economy slowing and earnings forecasts for British business looking pretty weak, it is prudent to focus on quality businesses that can continue to grow their earnings regardless of the economic backdrop.
The hope is that the market will reward these names, with quality outperforming. I am investing in a similar way to Terry Smith and Nick Train, looking to buy businesses that have already won.
What shares have you been buying recently?
I have been adding to Unilever, a fine example of a quality business with a dominant market position. Another business that ticks the quality boxes, albeit a lesser known name, is Micro Focus, a UK software business. Its products are used in telephony and transport systems, such as railway signals, so it is a business that possesses high barriers to entry.
There are three other shares I have recently bought. One is Equiniti, the share registration business. I bought because the shares were cheap, on a price to earnings ratio (p/e) of 11. I like the fact that the business has long contracts on the various pension schemes it administers.
Another buy has been NCC, the cyber security business. It generates plenty of cash.
EMIS, a software business that holds millions of patients' medical records, is the other share I have been buying. Again, it has longstanding contracts and is a dominant player in what it does.

Mining shares look cheap – is it time to buy?
Unlike some other ethical funds I am able to invest in miners, but I have so far resisted and will continue to steer clear. They are cheap, but this was also the case nine months ago and look at how far their share prices have fallen since.
I just think with global growth slowing there could be more pain, so the high yields on offer look to me more of a value trap than a buying opportunity. I cannot see what the catalyst will be at the moment for the oil price to recover.
Do you invest in the fund?
I do and I also invest in the other fund that I manage - Premier Optimum Income.
What would you have done if you had not become a fund manager?
If I had the talent, an opera singer sounds like a fantastic job to have.
Our verdict
With hundreds of UK funds to choose from, most of which have no restraints on how they invest, ethical funds are often overlooked.
But Premier Ethical's performance, as shown in the chart above, has not been restrained.

It is unusual that mining shares can be held but, in the end, this has not mattered. Mr Wright's decision to shun the sector has worked out well, helping the fund outperform rivals.
But Darius McDermott of Fund Calibre, a fund ratings agency, said two other ethical funds stood out - Standard Life UK Ethical and Edentree Amity UK.
"We met Chris in September last year. He comes across as a good fund manager and has had good performance on the fund. However, he has more of a pragmatic than 'rules based' approach, and we prefer a bit more structure when it comes to funds with an ethical 'badge'. It's certainly not one for the more puritan investor, but he has embraced the product and done well since taking it on in 2009."
It is possible to invest ethically more cheaply using a fund that tracks the FTSE4Good index. L&G Ethical will do this for an ongoing charge of 0.31pc.
Funds without an ethical mandate that invest in a similar manner, looking for hidden gems outside the FTSE 100 index, include L&G UK Alpha.
Mr McDermott said the fund manager Richard Penny has a "a lifelong passion for investment, a calm confidence in his stock-picking, and the track record to back it up".
Fidelity Special Values, an investment trust managed by Alex Wright, is another option to consider. Mr Wright buys undervalued companies whose potential is underestimated by the market.
How to buy the fund as cheaply as possible
The fund has a total cost (the "OCF" or "TER") of 0.95pc a year. Be sure to buy the right "share class", which is "C".
The investment shop through which you buy the fund will also levy a charge – some as a percentage of the amount invested, some as a flat annual fee. Our tables will guide you to the cheapest fund shop according to the size of your portfolio.
The Telegraph has launched its own DIY investment service, designed with simple pricing. The annual cost is capped at £300 for all your Isas and general investment account, but based on an annual fee of 0.3pc, making it good for first-time fund investors and those with large fund portfolios. Alongside this, our team of investment journalists will produce an ever-greater stream of analysis on investments, aiming to help savers make the right choices.

Boston-based private equity firm TA Associates has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Omaha-based NorthStar Financial Services Group, the holding company that includes ETF strategist CLS Investments, mutual fund administrator Gemini Fund Services and Orion Advisor Services, the outsourced portfolio accounting and management service. No financial details of the investment were disclosed.
In an interview Monday, Eric Clarke, CEO of Orion, and Todd Clarke, CEO of CLS Investments, spoke of the process that resulted in the eventual partnership with TA Associates and how TA's investment will facilitate NorthStar's continued growth. Both men retain significant ownership stakes in NorthStar and will remain in their management positions.
Eric Clarke said that when one of NorthStar's partners announced his departure, "we talked about going public," but that route didn't seem to fit with NorthStar's entrepreneurial culture. "We talked to a lot of private equity investors," he said, but after a dialogue for several years that intensified over the past four months, management settled on TA Associates.
"They truly understood our businesses; they invest in RIA firms already," he said. He noted as well that TA "was not the highest bidder," but stood out "in terms of preserving the culture" at NorthStar.
"Todd and I still have a lot of equity in the business and we wanted to align ourselves with a partner that could take us to the next level," he said.
Following the close of the deal, expected in 2015's second quarter, two managing directors from TA Associates will join NorthStar's board: Todd Crockett, formerly of Salomon Brothers, and M. Roy Burns, formerly of Davidson Kempner Partners and Banc of America Securities.
TA Associates' current and former investments in financial services include asset management firms like AIM, First Eagle and Stadion; RIAs like Thomson Advisory Group and Keeley Asset Management; and financial technology companies like BATS Global Markets.
Todd Clarke said "We're hoping for the board to help generate fresh ideas" to facilitate NorthStar's continued growth, building on the company's strong organic growth through acquisitions, and stressed that "management is all staying in place."
As for TA Associates' interest in NorthStar, Eric Clarke is confident in the PE firm's commitment, reporting that TA has "an over-seven-year average hold period" for their portfolio companies.
Speaking of technology, which NorthStar knows well, Todd Clarke said that in considering the robo-advisor threat, "the advisor model will win if they embrace the technology tools that robo-advisors are making available to investors. They have to up their game and change the client experience in an economical and forward-thinking way."
Eric Clarke said that particularly at Orion, "we're big believers that advisors need to use technologies to forge deeper relationships" with their clients. Doing so will "create opportunities for them over the next five to 10 years as we go through this technology evolution."

"Dear POA --
Thank you for remaining positive and electing to continue engagement with the communities you serve so well. Perhaps if the potential of each young person is supported by the community, their family and the communities of interest there would be less crime in our City.
It is " better to light one light than curse the darkness" which is what you have done in providing educational opportunities for young people. It is far better than declaring days of honor for victims of societal neglect who happen to also be committing serious crimes. Keep on believing in people - Hopefully it will become infectious and we will all learn to trust and honor each other more!
With Admiration and Hope,

Jared Lee Loughner pleaded not guilty on Monday to three charges of attempted murder for allegedly trying to kill Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and two of her aides.
The Associated Press reported that Loughner, 22, entered the plea in a Phoenix federal court just after 1:30 p.m. Mountain Time. The suspect's court appearance was his second since Jan. 8, when he allegedly opened fire on a crowd at a public event for Giffords in Tucson. Six people were killed and 13 were injured, including Giffords, who was shot in the head.
If Loughner is found guilty of attempted murder of a member of Congress, he could be sentenced to life in prison; if he is convicted of attempting to kill a federal employee, he could face a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Loughner was ordered held without bail on Jan. 10, two days after the shooting. He was indicted last week on the three attempted murder charges, which prosecutors described as an "initial" indictment.
Federal prosecutors are expected to file murder charges against Loughner for allegedly killing federal district court Judge John Roll and Giffords staffer Gabriel Zimmerman. Additionally, Arizona is expected to charge Loughner for the other shootings.
Federal prosecutor Wallace Kleindienst said that he would know within 30 days whether the federal government will file additional charges against the suspect. According to the Arizona Republic, he added that his team provided Loughner's defense attorneys with files from Loughner's computer and 250 interviews conducted during the investigation.
The Republic also reported that Loughner's well-known defense attorney Judy Clarke decided not to address questions surrounding her client's mental capability to stand trial at this point. She also did not object to a prosecutor's motion to move the hearings back to Tucson, where many of the survivors, victims and their families reside.
About 110 people attended the hearing, according to the Republic, and eight U.S. Marshals guarded the courtoom.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns set Loughner's next court date for March 9 at 1:30 p.m. The date for the suspect's trial will likely be set at that hearing.

The Highest And Lowest Divorce Rates In America
Flickr DrJohnBullasNew Yorkers might be too busy to get married, but once they say "I do," they really do.
According to "The Demographic and Household Estimates for 2005-2009" by the American Community Survey, couples in NYC show the lowest divorce rates compared to other US metropolitan areas.
Why no divorce in the big city? NBC New York reports: It's harder to get a divorce in New York, which might contribute to the lower divorce rate. People also tend to stay single longer, so there are fewer people per capita getting married and thus fewer people per capita getting divorced than in other states.
As for America's highest divorce rate, not surprisingly it is Las Vegas.
From lowest to highest, check out divorce rates across America > »

The Art of Breathing - by larryistheworld
This fic is a piece of art, and is one of the few recommendations I will ever give for fanfiction as a whole, for the world to see.
It's about a girl, a character who we only knew as a person from the Marauder's Era in the Harry Potter Universe - Mary McDonald. It tells a story, and is filled with everything you might ever want to read. It has humour, love, fighting - oh the fights - and is real. The perspective, the actions, the reactions- the author gave this name life, this character life. They gave her faults and truths and secrets and an end. It will make you cry and moan and bloody shout 'you damned idiot!' over and over again because its not perfect, its not untouchable. You can connect to the characters, and for someone who suffered through an illness like me, it gives companionship - its realistic, brilliant and all-round beautiful.
I'm going to stop rambling now about the story itself to give a few facts. 1. I found it on Archive of Our Own, not on FanFiction.net, just to say. 2. It's long - 45 chapters and extremely, extremely long. 3. The writing itself is magnificent, but is the same sort of vibe throughout the entire piece - not that that's bad, just...y'know.
Just read it. You might be surprised, but if you're an emotional reader, be prepared to shed a few tears. Charlie out.
Safeguard - by esama
This is a less tear-bringing fic and more like a fangirl squeal fic. It's nowhere near finished, and only has four chapters at present - someone remind me to update my profile if it isn't correct - but it is utterly brilliant.
A Harry Potter/Avengers Crossover, it's a breath of fresh air for those who just adore JARVIS (AI, not Edwin from AgCt). I'm not sure where the author is heading with it, but it is brilliant - trying not to give many spoilers away, I'll just say it gives a realistic AU after the books, where technology is becoming integrated into daily wizarding life (aka, technomancy is a main plot-twist), as well as point out a few facts about the Avengers movie that didn't make sense. For instance, how Loki let himself be captured.
Anyway, getting back to my recommendation/review, I'd say that the fic is worth reading even if you aren't a hardcore fan of either. Obviously, you need to have watched the MCU up to Avengers Assemble, and had to have read the books in full - because it does actually mention Rose and Hugo, without making them a main plot-point (at least so far). It also contains realistic Ron, Hermione and Harry interaction, as well as some bonus!Kingsley.
So, yeah...awesome fic that I fangirl giggled over while reading. ;)
What We Deserve - by ToryTigress92
Doctor Who fic, uncompleted, Twelve/Missy/Clara
Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

You know you're obsessed with Loki when...:
1. You make a Loki plushie to rule over your computer area.
2. You look at your keyboard and notice that all the letters in Loki are in one parallelogram and rather easy to type.
3. You make your Loki plushie a helmet out of duct tape. And then plan on making another.
4. If playing Truth or Dare, you dare someone to go into a room filled with people and yell "KNEEEEELL!"
5. You fall to the floor in hysterics if someone says that they don't like Loki.
6. If, no matter how strange they are, you think Sleipnir, Hela, Jormungandr and Fenris (and all the others) deserve some love
You know you're obsessed with the Avengers when:
1. You play darts and all you can think is "Man, Clint would nail this game!"
2. You play Trivial Pursuit and you want Bruce on your team. Then you remember he's fictional.
3. Someone's being cocky and know-it-all-ish and you think "Oh my god it's a Tony clone."
4. You watch Brave and immediately think Merida looks like Clint and Natasha's kid.
5. You will never be able to watch Lord Of The Rings again without thinking of Hawkeye. "Better clench up, Legolas."
6. You wish your science teacher was Bruce.
7. You get WAY too excited whenever someone describes someone else as low-key.
8. Someone says there's a black widow in your backyard and you say: "It's all right, I won't let her interrogate me."
9. You're suddenly way more patriotic, in honor of Steve.
10. The 4th of July is now the date of TWO holidays; Independence Day and Steve's birthday.
11. You finish a drink and you have an urge to throw your cup on the floor and yell "ANOTHER!"
12. The Northern Lights suddenly get you WAY too excited.
13. You want a Starkphone for Christmas, complete with JARVIS.
14. You wear green and gold everywhere and laugh scornfully when people ask why. "Puny mortals, how dare you question my motives? I am a Minion of Loki!!"
15. Instead of saying, "That guy smacked you around like a ragdoll," you say "Wow, that guy really gave you the Loki treatment."
16. You really want archery lessons. And explosive arrows. And an excuse to use them.
17. You want to be a SHIELD agent.
18. You are convinced that the reason the Avengers aren't real is that you're in an alternate, more boring dimension.
19. You think the air vents are a viable mode of transportation.
20. You think the Hulk is awesome and Bruce needs a hug.
21. You're nodding and smiling as you read these.
22. You're going to put this on your own profile because of how (unfortunately) true this is.
23. You begin debating the similarities between Odin and Nick Fury. (both have eye-patches, both are really bad at dealing with Loki...need I go on?)
24. You begin quoting it all the time, and the quotes actually fit your situation (It's almost sad how often this happens to me...)
25. You smile slightly every time you step on an ant.
When the days are cold
When your dreams all fail
I want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
When you feel my heat
When the curtain's call
So they dug your grave
Don't want to let you down
No matter what we breed
When you feel my heat
They say it's what you make
Your eyes, they shine so bright
When you feel my heat
Music is like candy, you throw away the rappers.
Mental anxiety, mental breakdown, menstrual cramps, menopause, did you realize how all our problems begin with MEN!
You don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than the slowest guy running from the bear.
There's a ME in AWESOME but there's also a WE.
Psychology. Mind over matter. Mind under matter? It doesn't matter. Never mind.
A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws.
I think crime pays. The hours are good, you travel a lot.
When life hands you lemons, throw those lemons right back at it and tell life to make its own dang lemonade.
"When all else fails blow shit up."
The dinosaur's extinction wasn't an accident. Barney came and they all committed suicide.
Reviewing makes the heart grow fonder, and the updates faster!
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
because life is so much sweeter when I'm not there, and am instead reading and writing here

A shocking connection…
Al says
I don't really get the reference between the 2 illustrations, but the bottom one is either illustrated by Roger Dean, or someone owes him a prolonged tip of the hat.
Ian L says
"That's no coincidence, boy…"
Charles Skaggs says
Al, the reference between the illustrations is that Dean Venture was apparently named after Roger Dean, which was revealed on last night's episode of THE VENTURE BROS.
Aboynamedart says
cary coatney says
I liked the part when King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King ( now remastered in a two disc DVD-A 5.1 version engineered by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson) was yanked out of Dean's hands.
That would have been too much for the dear boy.
"Bill Bruford's rapid time changes could snap your wrists!!"
Prestron says
Ever since Hank's name was revealed to be Henry Allen Venture I've been hoping to find Dean's full name. I'm now somewhat convinced that it is Roger Dean Venture.

CMS Cameron McKenna has made a rare lateral hire, poaching London-based Mayer Brown property partner Melville Rodrigues.
Rodrigues specialises in the formation of real estate funds and handling real estate transactions.
Camerons head of real estate Edward Benzecry has pledged to expand the firm's capacity in this area, with a particular focus on pan-European funds based in London.
He said: "There's been an explosion in the last few years of real estate funds and they've become a very significant part of the market. Melville's arrival is a further step in our strategy to establish a reputation in this area."
Rodrigues has been a partner at Mayer Brown since 2000, when he joined from niche property firm McGuinness Finch.
Despite ;the ;property downturn, Camerons has shown a willingness to invest in its real estate practice this year. In March the firm promoted three associates to partner in the group, all in Eastern Europe.

The Rock: Early Christmas Present from a US Congressman to his staff
A friend of mine's husband works for a US Congressman. Tonight he gave his entire staff an early Christmas bonus--a 100T 2008 AA ZWN note. She posted a picture of the note on FB and from her's and other people's comments, it was obvious that she didn't know what she had.
I PMed her and told her what that would be worth soon once the revaluation happened. She was blown away. I probably spoiled the Congressman's surprise. He was no doubt hoping that after the RV he could tell them how much it was worth and to go do their currency exchange.
Crazy times! Here was our entire PM convo--the names have been changed to protect the innocent and hide the guilty!
Read More Link on Right
[Name of friend], I presume that you know that piece of paper you posted (100T 2008 AA serial Zimbabwean currency) is likely to be worth $22 million USD very soon. That would be the best Christmas present ever!
Gosh. That's a great bonus! I will share the wealth with you if it's true : )
Not necessary, I already own 3 of them and some other foreign currencies that are about to revalue. I probably spoiled the surprise. [Name of Congressman] likely wanted to be the one to tell you, "oh, by the way, that currency I gave you--it's now worth $22 million. So act surprised when he tells you! I wouldn't tell too many people about it. Prepare to buy lots of gold and silver!
Are you dead serious?
I am completely serious. [Congressman's name] just gave you an amazing gift!
This revalue of the currencies is supposed to happen tomorrow. It may be delayed somewhat, but no later than Thanksgiving.
So we'll have another rich couple that we like and wouldn't mind hanging out with! LOL
[Thumbs up symbol]
Yeah, that's a two thumbs up!
Gosh. I'll have to watch the news tomorrow.
This is not going to be on the news...in fact when you do the currency exchange, you will be required to sign an 11 page NDA agreeing that will not tell anyone about this at all.
I told [Her husband's name] we're giving you a $10,000.00 finders fee
LOL--I'll let you take [My wife's name] and I out to a nice dinner; that will suffice...
How do you know to exchange it?
For the Iraqi Dinar, there will be an 800 number to call to make an appointment to exchange; for the Zimbabwean currency however, no appointment is necessary, but you won't be able to exchange until the 800 numbers are received. I can let you know when that happens if you'd like. But like I said, I just know I spoiled [Congressman's name] surprise!
How do I get an 800 number
You don't need the 800 # for the ZWN. You just need to know that the 800 # has been released so you know that the currency revalue has been completed.
So how do I know that???
I can let you know, or you can wait for [Congressman's name] to "surprise" you!
[Congressman's name] is clueless. He was passing them out in the office tonight
Trust me when I tell you that every single one of our Congressmen and Senators are totally in on this. They know exactly what is happening and why. If you would like to know more, we'll have to talk before either of us sign an NDA. After that the topic is off limits. One of the reasons for the NDA is that there would be riots in the streets if the average citizen of this country knew that our Leaders had just turned themselves into the new aristocracy. Some of us that figured it out early on get to benefit as well, but when the dollar begins to hyperinflate and those that are already struggling start to go hungry, it will not bode well for our leaders for them to find out about the separation between the new haves and have nots.
What is nda?
Non disclosure agreement
So who are the doods that make you sign it
The Dept of Homeland Security.
...but the banks are the ones that hand you the NDA. No signing the NDA--no money.
I don't think the govt would want little old me having one.[Congressman's name] is on the [name of committee] committee...
Well then [Congressman's name] must know you are worthy of the trust!
He actually gave it to [Her husband's name]. I was in the other room.
Ah, well then I really don't know how that was supposed to play out in your circumstance, but don't be surprised if/when you are asked to remove the pic from FB.
I already did!
Good call. I've probably already said too much as well. I hope [Congressman's name] still likes me well enough and doesn't tell his buddies at Homeland that I talk too much!
Am I going to be murdered tonight at my hotel???
LOL probably not. You conspiracy theorist you!
Ok. When I get home you need explain this
When do you get home? Hopefully I'm at the bank tomorrow!
Fri nite
Okay, but if I've already signed an NDA, I'll have to give you someone else's name that can explain it to you. 'Cause my lips will be sealed,
[Post picture of a black SUV] This guy is stalking us
Lol, they're on to you already!
11/14/2013 02:11:41 pm
I wouldn't put pics of any money on FB..earlier in the year a woman put money on YouTube..crooks tracked her and stole her money. You need to be really low key and change your email..get off of FB! Really!!

I hope no one foolishly goes out and purchases currency based upon this post.
11/14/2013 02:32:08 pm

11/14/2013 02:32:49 pm
Well said RVPLEASE.... you said what needed to be said after this post.
11/14/2013 02:41:03 pm
Recaps should really put a disclaimer on this post. This is ridiculous but some people will believe it and spend there mortgage payments.
11/15/2013 12:29:26 am
While I think it is foolish to spend a mortgage payment on speculation, I also think it is kinda presumptuous to state that Dinar Recaps (DR) has to put out a disclaimer. People can do what they choose! It isn't DR's responsibility to police people's choices, and frankly, it's not your's, either. Worry about yourself and allow others the prerogative to worry about themselves.
bill boy
11/15/2013 01:08:09 pm
depends if your struggling to make payments and it you could rent cheaper the same house or similar. if were struggling i would prolly make the decision to bite the payment and find a rental b4 it hit my credit. Take 4 months minimum for a foreclosure to happen if your in a non-judicial foreclosure state. and they dont start the 4/c until anywhere from 3- 9month late.

Recaps should really put a disclaimer on this post. This is ridiculous but some people will believe it and spend there mortgage payments.
11/14/2013 02:41:22 pm
Great story.....It was written in such an articulate way, one has no option but to believe. Just what a congressman should do at this moment in time when our government is a complete joke. Does he actually think he will have anyone working for him tomorrow when it revalues? Who is this guy? One that needs to go.....
11/14/2013 02:45:58 pm
The Zimbabwe note is worthless due to the massive printing the country's government performed. It is nothing like the dinar and they don't have the resources or stability to back it up. There is a reason why there is worthless currency in the world and it's due to really bad economic policy of those countries. Zimbabwe will have to lop, not revalue. It amazes me that anybody can come up with a theory about RV and people will buy it. The Iraqi Dinar is a special case, you cannot apply the same rules to currently traded currencies. I don't know if this will get posted or not but I have never understood why some can post without any proof of anything and it's taken as gospel but if common sense is applied, it is referred to as bashing. I'm not bashing at all, just begging people to do a little research before they throw there money away on someplace like Zimbabwe who for years has been the laughingstock of the world economically.
kwd million
11/14/2013 03:59:13 pm
you my friend need to go do some more research on this . Zimbabwe stopped using their currency due to demand for the U.S.dollar. now the country wants to go back to their own currency and away from the dollar, and they have the gems to back their currency now that basel 3 is implemented. now a lot of currencies that were not worth a wooden nickel will be worth something , hence the global currency reset. basel 3 is asset backed so countries are rated by their assets now not the paper they use. sorry to teach you something .
11/14/2013 05:47:54 pm
Precious stones such as diamconds are carbon and can't be used to back a currency to quality - water is water - wheat is wheat but diamonds are carbon and too variable on quality.
11/14/2013 05:56:09 pm
This is exactly my point, if it was only asset backed then you wouldn't be allowed to create "wealth" out of thin air which is what occurs when you revalue a currency higher. Basel 3 does NOT require that assets back a currency. That is only a rumor that has been started and taken off. Just do a little research. I've been in Iraq and Afghanistan and the bottom line is nobody trusts those currencies, they want USD due to stability. Sure the government of Zimbabwe wants to return to the ZWD because it is a brutal regime that can control it's people easier that way. There is no proof anywhere that a reset is occurring. I invested in Dinar because it is a very unique situation and has the opportunity for RV. These other countries don't possess the same ingredients. Basel 3 is more concerning banks than countries. What you have taught me is that you have bought into the rumors which is your choice, however, the Basel 3 documents are there for anybody to read and they don't say what you stated. Just think about it, say Zimbabwe has a ton of diamonds and the diamond market tanks, does that mean their currency is worthless? It just doesn't stand the test of common sense.
11/14/2013 10:20:17 pm
So, just to be clear. You actually think that one 100 Trillion Note is going to be worth 22 Mil US?
joe kowalchek
11/14/2013 11:51:31 pm
Ahh, and the $18 dollar 100T ZWN gag gift note sold on ebay will soon be worth $22 million, ......Somebody has made to many visits to the koolaide stand.
Here is a little dose of reality. The ZIM will NEVER revalue. Why not? Because not only is it a worthless currency, it was abandoned a couple of years ago as the currency of Zimbabwe, it is not legal tender even in Zimbabwe. It truly is the same as monopoly money. If Zimbabwe ever decides they want their own currency again they are not going to bother bringing back the old currency with the huge notes to deal with, they will simply have a new currency printed.
11/14/2013 06:15:38 pm
Wiil you give it away if it has a value ? To me that congressman knew that the note that he keeps has no value thus he gives it away.
11/14/2013 11:20:51 pm
The 100 trillion Zim$ 2008 was lopped of 12 zeros, replaced by Zim$100 note. That would be about the value of it! If and when they bring back the Zim$.
11/15/2013 02:53:35 am
Why would a congressman give his entire staff notes that he knows would revalue upwards of $22mil if he wants to keep a staff at all? Who would not immediately retire once they exchanged? It is a shame how uncommon common sense has become.
11/15/2013 03:55:17 am
That "dumb" congressman was just humoring you,

Van Cliburn, Who was raised in Kilgore, learned his piano skills from his mother when he was just three years old.
Annette Morgan also practiced with his mom. And became very close to Cliburn.
"He was a friend of mine, and my entire family. A very good friend." - Annette Cliburn
"I am standing in front of the Van Cliburn Auditorium in Kilgore, named after a man who's piano skills transcended the realm of music" - Kevin Boyce
"He brought to our country, and Russia. A new feeling. And opened a door." - Morgan
Cliburn won the first ever International Tchiakovsky Competition in Moscow during the height of the Cold War, bringing a small opportunity of peace between the countries.
His musical accolades and accomplishments are endless, and will be studied for years.
But for Morgan, she will miss more than his music. She will always remember his care for others.
"He never met a stranger, he never wanted to talk about himself. It was all about you, and what you were doing with your life."
Cliburn died Wednesday morning after losing a battle with bone cancer.

Nightclub heir jailed for 13 and half years for stabbing tycoon dad
The heir to a multimillion-pound nightclub empire has been jailed for 13 and a half years for stabbing his flamboyant father to death after a blazing row in London's Piccadilly.
David West junior, 45, worked for bullying and overbearing David West senior from the age of 14 and played a pivotal role in the success of the family business.
But by December 12 last year, he had had enough and stabbed the 70-year-old alcoholic to death as he was slumped in a stupor at the bottom of the stairs at his home off Jermyn Street in London's Piccadilly.
A jury at the Old Bailey failed to reach a verdict on a murder charge earlier this year and today he pleaded guilty to manslaughter by reason of loss of control.
Mr West senior was famed for his loud suits which were as colourful as the lifestyle he flaunted of glamorous women, fast cars and luxury yachts.
The self-styled "Lord David West of Hollesley" made his fortune from the booze cruise trade in Belgium and France in the 1980s before moving into the West End, buying up lap dancing clubs, restaurants, nightclubs and bars, including Puss In Boots and Abracadabra.
Behind the scenes, Mr West senior lived by a code of "my money, my rules" and was nicknamed Papa Bear by staff who put up with his violent temper as a way of life.
West junior, the oldest of his three children, had made attempts to break away from his father's influence, but returned to help as the tycoon's health and business were both failing.
But on the day of the killing, he quit his £500-a-week job during a blazing row at the Abracadabra bar and restaurant in Jermyn Street, Piccadilly.
The defendant, who lived in a flat provided by his father above the bar, then armed himself with a kitchen knife, went next door to the victim's house and stabbed him in the neck and chest.
"I have always loved my father but he has never been a father to me."Convicted dad killer David West
Afterwards, he dialled 999 and told police: "I would like to admit to a murder. I've just killed my father."
At the time, West junior was also embroiled in a turbulent relationship with singer Victoria Lockwood who was living in Felixstowe.
During an argument by text message, he told her: "A lot of people need sorting out and it's going to be tonight," adding that he was planning to "go out with a bang".
His ex-girlfriend, Oksana Stanzione, who was also Mr West senior's personal assistant, witnessed father and son rowing in Abracadabra and even recorded some of the defendant's foul-mouthed tirade on her mobile phone.
As she helped the visibly upset victim stumble home, he confided: "This is my son ... It's a shame. If I could I'd have hit him."
Giving evidence, West accepted the killing although he said he could not remember doing it or telling police afterwards he finally "had the guts to stand up to him" and that he was "glad" he was dead.
He became tearful as he told jurors that his father saw him as "a failure" and he was driven to stab him because of the constant "bullying" and "belittlement".
He said: "Because I had always worked for him it was almost like a boss and employee situation but I loved him as a father. I have always loved my father but he has never been a father to me – he's always been my boss."

Maritime Silk Roadâ€â€â€â€the oldest sea route in history.

As one of the ancient civilizations, China is a country with enormous land area as well as having long sea coastlines. From south to north, the coastline of Mainland China runs for more than 18,000 km.In addition, there are coastlines of the offshore islands, making the total coastline of China more than 32,000 km that stretches across temperate, sub-tropical and tropical climatic zones.

The coastal areas of China are important cradles of ancient maritime civilizations of the East. As early as prehistoric times, people living in these areas were persistent in creativity and innovations while accruing valuable experiences, resulting in improved navigation capabilities in water. They planed simple boats and then built ships, eventually learning to take advantage of astronomy and ocean currents, and mastering the ways of maritime navigation. They were able to sail far across the oceans and establish contact with Southeast and Northeast Asia , creating many unexplainable miracles which made later people gasp in admiration.

This ebook show you a whole Maritime Silk Road story and pictures.

Several chapters in this ebook,such as The Convergence of Early Sea Lanes of the East and the West Maritime Civilizations of the Far East;From the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean : Contributions to Navigation by Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans; Archeological Findings from the South Yue Kingdom ; Voyages of Han Dynasty Envoys to the South China Sea,etc.
