Life couldn't have worked out better for a couple who are among the first residents at a housebuilder's brand-new location in Wellingborough, as they got engaged on the night that they moved in.
Charlene Menzies and Ricky Richardson celebrate at Bovis Homes' Wendelburie Rise, Stanton Cross
Bodybuilders and first-time buyers Ricky Richardson and Charlene Menzies had finished unpacking boxes at their Bovis Home at Wendelburie Rise in the new Stanton Cross community, when the 31-year-old shocked his other half with the proposal.
Ricky had ordered the engagement ring online and it arrived on the morning of the couple's move to the Northamptonshire location – a week before they had originally planned.
The print worker, from Finedon, said: "Moving into our first home together at Stanton Cross was a monumental moment for us and I wanted to mark that by proposing to Charlene.
"I had ordered the ring online from Germany and expected to get it just before our original move-in date, which was set to be a week later. But, unbelievably, I got a call to say that it had arrived on the day of our new move date, so everything seemed to fall into place."
Charlene, also 31, from Earls Barton, was so excited that she knocked the engagement ring out of the box and onto the floor of their new sitting room, which sent Ricky scuttling among the boxes and furniture to find it.
The pair, who both grew up in the county, said the amusing proposal was the perfect start to their new life at Wendelburie Rise, the first part of the flagship Stanton Cross development, which is bringing £1 billion worth of investment to the area.
The couple had just enjoyed a takeaway pizza in their three-bedroom semi-detached Southwold house type, when Ricky popped the question.
They had both been living with their parents before using the Help to Buy – Equity Loan scheme to purchase their first home, which they hope to live in for more than ten years as they look to start a family.
Ricky added: "Wendelburie Rise is the perfect location for us as we're close to both sets of family and our work, plus Stanton Cross is starting to look great.

"There is a real sense of community already, we like our neighbours and we can't wait for the schools, doctors' surgery, shops and park, that will all be nearby.
"We wouldn't have been able to do this without the Help to Buy scheme, which massively helped us with our deposit and was very straightforward. Bovis Homes has been great - both the sales and build teams - whenever we need them, they're so quick to respond."
Freelance designer Charlene, who occasionally works from home, said the open-plan kitchen and living room made the house very spacious and the pair were looking forward to warmer months when they would open the patio doors out on to the garden.
"We've had lots of friends and family over and they've all commented on what a lovely, sociable-style house it is," she said.
"We chose a new-build because we wanted to pick the interior and have our say on choices like tiles and worktops. We like the fact we have everything we need, that it's all brand-new and no one has lived in the property before us."
Using the Help to Buy – Equity Loan scheme, home buyers need just a five per cent cash deposit, with the Government providing an equity loan of up to 20 per cent of the value of the property being bought. Purchasers then need to secure up to a 75 per cent mortgage.
Stanton Cross is a community that will provide 3,650 new homes, plus industrial, leisure, retail and office space, while delivering around 3,000 new jobs.

A free online term paper writing guide
In recent decades, the health problems associated with stress have become understood to a much greater extent. In fact, job stress is one of the most common reasons as to why people take time off work, and costs the economy billions of dollars every year.
Due to both the health implications and the financial cost of job stress, companies are doing more and more to try and avoid stressful situations work. However, in modern times, with increased working hours and all the other stresses of daily life, it is almost as if companies are fighting a losing battle at times.
However, as a subject to study, job stress is incredibly interesting and is a great topic to use when writing a research paper. If you will be writing a research paper based on the topic of job stress, and want some ideas to help you to compose a high quality piece of work, then the following suggestions may be of use to you.
The first thing that you will need to do is pick a title for your work. It may be that you are writing an informative paper, and would like to look at the financial implications of job stress, and how much it costs companies, either in your own country or around the world.
Alternatively, if you are writing an argumentative paper, then you may wish to write an essay based on the idea that job stress is or isn't a valid reason for individuals to take time off work.
Ultimately, the title that you choose will largely reflect the form of essay that you need to take. For example, if you have been asked to write a compare and contrast paper then you may wish to look at how job stress affects individuals and companies in two different countries or you may wish to compare different periods of time, and how job stress was perceived in these different eras.
As mentioned, the style of paper will have a great influence on the title, just as it will on how you structure and compose your paper. However, you will most likely require an introduction, in which you will identify and explain more about the topic that you have chosen to write about, before going into further detail in the body section. The article will then be finished off with a conclusion, which will refer to any points made in both the body and introduction sections.
Any ideas or concepts you use while writing should be written clearly. This means try to continue your idea and provide thorough details to ensure readers don't get lost in the text. Good sentence and paragraph structure will be helpful.
Ensure references are mentioned correctly and review citation and bibliography details. There are written samples available for each formatting style to help you compare how to reference and cite your own sources.
Know where you can get good writing examples. Consider your school library, school website, and handbooks on term paper writing and formatting. You may get ideas on how to develop your topic, thesis, and write other parts of your term paper.
A strong conclusion is important and helps bring the whole assignment together. Your main points should be mentioned briefly and consider providing clarity to a main point mentioned previously with an example. Reinstate thesis statement.

For his first film of the 1980s, Romero confounded expectations by delivering a lengthy, melancholic melodrama about a traveling group who stage Renaissance fairs in which they dress up as knights and joust on motorcycles. It might be the best film on the subject of sixties countercultural idealism entering the Reagan era: the group is a living anachronism with a strong code of ethics modeled on King Arthur?s Camelot, and tensions spill over when a handful of the knights split from their king (Ed Harris) and ?sell out? to corporate show business. Harris is superlative in his first leading role; the rest of the cast is made up of Romero?s stock troupe of players and they are all excellent, especially Tom Savini as the treacherous Morgan.

For the Glory of God, by Rodney Stark
This volume completes an ambitious two-part study of monotheism in Western culture that began with One True God: Historical Consequences of Monotheism (Princeton University Press, 2001). As with the previous effort, Rodney Stark's aim is to show that belief in one God--a supreme, personal and perfectly good Being--has exerted a definitive shaping influence on certain events and institutions in the West.
The reason for this impact lies in the unique character of monotheism, which differs fundamentally as a religious axiom from the chaotic, immoral polytheisms of primitive and classical cultures, as well as from the impersonal, godless Asian systems--Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist--that construe the divine as an amoral supernatural essence. Unlike these creeds, monotheist faith shows "immense capacities to mobilize human action," especially in the intellectual quest for truth and the moral pursuit of justice.
Whereas in volume one Stark underscored certain traits characteristic of the monotheist mind--such as zeal for missions and the will to coerce when in power--his discussion here centers on four major historical episodes. Allegiance to the idea of the one God's one true church propelled recurrent drives toward reform, culminating in the momentous revolt of Protestantism. Trust in the luminous rationality of the Creator inspired the rise of science. And faith in divine justice fired the modern crusade to end slavery. Paradoxically, that same faith, linked to a vivid belief in satanic possession, also brought the West to one of its darkest moments--the age of hunts for witches. Stark devotes a healthy mix of explication and analysis to each of these developments, appositely adducing results of recent research and fashioning a brisk, readable narrative.
The rationale for this project is intriguing. It springs partly from the author's quarrel with his own academic field.
Although a professor of sociology as well as comparative religion, Stark insists that social science has been led badly off track by one of its foremost pioneers--Émile Durkheim. Writing early in the last century, Durkheim contended that religion is a matter not of belief but of ritualized social action; beliefs and ideas are merely reflections of society's pressures on the individual. So when monotheists announce their faith in one God, what they actually affirm (unknowingly) is a social bond to their clan or group. Stark thinks this principle deeply misguided. He insists that beliefs shape society and not the reverse--as historians are more apt
than sociologists to understand. If monotheism's influence is to be properly grasped, therefore, social science needs to be transposed into the key of old-fashioned social and intellectual history.
Most friends of religion will welcome this conversion from reductionistic social science to humanist history of ideas. But asserting that "ideas matter" is of course only a beginning. If monotheism did shape the West decisively, that theorem needs demonstration from the evidence.
Stark welcomes this challenge, and his labors are laudably intense, but it is not wholly clear just what the task is. Consider the discussion of the antislavery movement. In a quite substantial chapter, he explains how, from about 1700 forward, successive fervent appeals to Christian moral ideals played a pivotal role in pressuring governments to end slavery in its entirety. This point is well taken; few who know the names of Samuel Sewall, William Wilberforce and William Lloyd Garrison would disagree. But in what way, precisely, was Christian monotheism, rather than broadly Christian moralism, integral to this process? Stark does not tell us. No testimony specific to the point is cited from original sources (is there perhaps a sermon titled "One God, One Humanity"?). Nor is there any search for specific hidden connections.
To be sure, all of Christian morality is monotheistic in that it derives from scriptures given by God, but that is self-evident. Surely, Stark must intend to claim more. Yet if so, it is unclear what substantive, specific monotheistic influences he has in mind. In addition, there is a comparative case to address. Islam, though also monotheistic, produced nothing similar to the abolitionist enterprise, ending its practice of slavery only in response to initiatives from the West. Nor, for that matter, did Islam generate anything comparable to Christendom's age of witch-hunts or its flowering of science.
In fact, of the four major developments adduced for discussion, three occurred in one monotheistic culture, but not in the other. Why? Are there perhaps different kinds of monotheism? Were other factors more decisive? Is monotheism perhaps even irrelevant? We do not have answers to consider because these intriguing questions are not substantively addressed. Full chapters deal with the Christian West; only a few pages, sometimes mere paragraphs, address Islam.
At one point, Stark suggests that monotheism is best seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition to explain the developments he considers. But even "necessary" is a large causal claim, requiring entry into another set of comparisons--with nonmonotheistic religions and their cultural effects. The first volume attempted such a comparison by trying to link monotheism with missions, but it had to contend with a troubling reversal: monotheistic Judaism has had noticeably less interest in making converts than nontheistic Buddhism. The present volume consigns to the periphery any serious comparative study of religious ideas across traditions.
Whatever the claims of the subtitle, then, this project does not substantively engage the issue of monotheism, whether in one form or in several cross-culturally compared. It is not centered even on Christian monotheism, at least as an isolated doctrine. It offers instead a wide-ranging discussion of Christianity broadly construed as a cultural system (of which the monotheist axiom is one, indirectly relevant feature). What Stark seeks to explain-in the main persuasively-is how the entire Christian religious complex, both institutional and theological, exerted its influence upon certain crucial developments in Western history. Passages that comment specifically on monotheism or nod toward cross-cultural comparison are mostly marginal to this effort.
That issue clarified, thoughtful readers will find much to appreciate in these pages, which are often rich in details of church history, vigorously analytical, and especially instructive on underappreciated themes and connections. To cite a few examples: Stark makes several efforts to frame general principles of religious action, such as the rule that "religious conflict will be maximized where . . . a few powerful particularistic religious organizations coexist." Valid or not, this idea prods debate. He offers a perceptive assessment of John Calvin that rightly stresses his work as organizer of secret Protestant missionary agents--a side of the Reformer's career too often overshadowed by the imposing theological achievement of the Institutes. A reappraisal of medieval universities draws on the latest scholarship to suggest they be seen as early nurseries, rather than adversaries, of modern science. An instructive comparison of English, French and Spanish slave codes shows that inhumanity too has its degrees and differences.
Misconceptions also get corrected. To the surprise of some who are familiar with the famous T. H. Huxley-Samuel Wilberforce debate on evolution in 1860, Stark notes that the well-worn tale of the bishop humbled by Darwin's bulldog is historically tenuous, and that Darwin himself judged Wilberforce's published review of The Origin of Species to be among the most telling of the critiques he encountered.
It is true that in getting to these nuggets, one needs to show patience with mannerisms that can easily annoy. Topics get introduced with tightly compressed summaries of earlier scholarship that end with ritually brusque dismissals: "All false"; "Not so!"; "Nonsense and outright fabrication." Further, in Stark's prickly reckonings, indictments rain on liberals and secularists, while religious conservatives routinely walk free. Along with Freudians, Marxists and advocates of political correctness, the index of the highly disfavored includes all rationalists who lived in, or now admire, the age of Enlightenment, all scholars with biases too pro-Protestant and progressive or prejudices too anti-Catholic, all secular humanists, theological liberals, moral relativists, scientific atheists, confident Darwinians and sundry similar voices among religion's cultured despisers. It is, to say the least, odd that an author so alert to the partisan motives of others should extend a different courtesy to himself, curtly announcing from the outset that "my personal religious views are of concern only to me."
Irritations aside, this study offers much that followers of the Christian story in both the academy and the churches can draw upon with real profit, so long as they also read with critical eyes. To summarize things in theological terms, there may be only one Professor Stark, but he appears to exist in three persons: the sociologist who resigned on principle at the start of the project; the comparative religionist who signed on but then declined to compare; and the church historian who conscientiously shouldered most of the work. All credit then to the historian, who works hard and well to discern the Christian soul of the cultural West--and mostly succeeds in finding it.

There are multitudes of people struggling in this economy, and many would love to work for themselves. The unfortunate thing is that most people do not know how to go about changing these things for the better. A great way to solve this is to make money online. This guide will give you tips on how to make money online.
Figure out a niche for yourself. Do you love to write in your spare time? Promote your skills as a good content writer. Do you like doing graphic design? There may be people that need help with their websites. Do not hesitate to look inward.

You won't make a fortune this way, but you will be putting some of that goof-off time to work for you!
Flipping domain names could be a good business for you. You can make some serious cash through domain flipping. It's kind of like flipping real estate because it does require a bit of money to do.

Our Spinal Decompression Therapy
Info. 101
November 30, 2015
Chester Lai DC BSc
Having practiced chiropractic for nearly 20 years, I frequently get asked the question, "What makes a good pillow?" There are many qualities that make a pillow a good pillow, but just as importantly, we need to ask, "What type of pillow is the best for me?" Although there is not one pillow that satisfies the needs and comfort of everyone, a good pillow, for most, is one that provides the ideal amount of support, together with the correct fit/size for that individual. This makes for a pillow that is not only comfortable but will also provide the healthy benefits of good cervical support and a restful night's sleep, which translates into many other benefits, both mental and physical.

Irish Baby Names: The new most popular
The new most popular Irish baby names were just announced, with the Top 10 dominated by — non-Irish names.
The new Top 10 for girls contains not a single Irish choice:
The new boys' list includes three Irish baby names, compared with just one Irish choice — Aiden — on the U.S. popular names list. The new Irish Top 10 for boys are:
But further down in the Top 100, the Irish popularity list includes several Irish names. We relied on the excellent audio by the late author Frank McCourt at Baby Names of Ireland for the pronunciations. The Irish girls' names in the Top 100, in order of popularity, are:
Aoife — Pronounced ee-fa, Aoife was a legendary woman warrior in Irish mythology. Once near the top of the Irish charts, this name is starting to move down in popularity.
Caoimhe — From the same root as Kevin, this name is pronounced kee-va.
Saoirse — Popularized by the lovely young actress Saoirse Ronan, Saoirse means liberty and is pronounced sare(rhyming with hair)-sha.
Ciara — Ciara is the authentic Irish spelling of the name better known in the U.S. as Keira, the most popular American spelling thanks to Ms. Knightley, or Kiera, which relates more directly to the male Kieran (or in Irish, Ciaran). The name means dark or black-haired. Kyra may be pronounced the same but is a variation on Cyrus.
Niamh — Niamh of the Golden Hair was the mythical daughter of a sea god. The name is pronounced neev and sometimes spelled phonetically as Neve.
Roisin — Roisin, pronounced ro-sheen, is an Irish diminutive of Rose. Singer Sinead O'Connor used this for one of her daughters.
Aisling — Pronounced ash-ling, this name derives from a poetic genre.
Clodagh — The o is long and the gh is silent. The name Clodagh is derived from a river and a related female deity.
Erin — A place name denoting Ireland itself, Erin is now moving up the charts in its native land but down in the U.S., where it's been used for decades.
Sadhbh — Sadhbh, which rhymes with five, was the mythical lover of Finn McCool and mother of Oisin; she was turned into a deer.
Aine — Aine sounds like Anya. The mythical Aine was queen of the fairies and lucky in all ways.
Aoibhinn and Aoibheann — Pronounced as even, this is a saint's name.
Eabha and Aoibhe — Pronounced like Eva, these are Irish forms of Eve.
Orla — Orla means "golden princess" and was the name of both a sister and daughter of High King Brian Boru.
Tara — Another longtime Irish-American favorite fading in the U.S., this mythical name is now popular in Ireland.
Eimear — Eimear, pronounced ee-mer, was a mythical figure who possessed the "Six Gifts of Womanhood" — Six Gifts of Womanhood" – beauty, a gentle voice, sweet words, wisdom, needlework and chastity.
Muireann — The pronunciation of this name is a bit difficult for the English-speaking tongue: It's mweer-in. Muireann was a mythical mermaid who was turned into a woman by a saint.
Meabh — The Irish spelling of Maeve, this ancient queen's name is on the rise in the Ireland as well as the U.S.
Sinead — One Irish name whose pronunciation — shin-aid — is familiar to Americans via singer Sinead O'Connor, this is the Irishization of Janet.
And for boys:
Cian—Listed at Number 13, Cian–pronounced key-in–is one of the highest ranking Irish names on the Irish boys' list, but it's one that's never emigrated to the US.
Oisin—Pronounced osh-een, and also known as Ossian, Oisin is an important name in Irish legend, as the son of Finn Mac Cool.
Liam—No need for pronunciation clues here, as Liam is actually two points higher (at Number 15) in the US than it is in Ireland. This short form of William is a particular celeb favorite.
Darragh and Dara—Darragh, pronounced somewhere between di-re and da-ra, and slimmed-down version Dara, are both on the Irish boys' list, but sound too feminine for plausible use in the US.
Cillian—This name of several saints is growing in US popularity in the phonetic spelling Killian, which is now Number 756.
Fionn and Finn—Both pronounced Finn and both mega-popular in Ireland, but Finn is clearly the one taking off in the States. Finn–or Fionn—Mac Cool is the brave and handsome central character of Irish myth.
Eoin and Eoghan—These two names, believe it or not, are both versions of John that are pronounced as Owen, a red hot name in America.
Callum and Calum—Interchangeable spellings of a name that actually has Scottish origins and means 'dove.' is a symbol of peace and purity. The Callum spelling is the one that's taken off here, now at Number 847.
Tadhg—A name with quite a tricky pronunciation — ti-gue–Tadhg, which means poet or philosopher, was the grandfather of Finn Mac Cool. Somehow we don't see it heading for the US pop list any time soon.
Rian–An offbeat version of Ryan that had a brief moment of US popularity in the late 1970s. The original Ryan is still Number 25 here.
Cathal–With the surprising pronunciation of ka-hal (some books say koh-hal), this was a popular name in the Middle Ages and is now popular again in England.
Ronan—This strong and attractive name is climbing in US popularity; it was used by Daniel Day–Lewis and Rebecca Miller, and by Catherine Bell.
Rory and Ruairi—Pronounced Rory, Ruairi is one of several versions of the name all current in the Emerald Isle. In the US, Rory is ascending for both boys and girls.
Ciaran—Pronounced keer-in, is a saint's name popular in Ireland for over 1500 years, known here through Harry Potter actor Ciaran Hinds.
Senan–-An anglicization of Seanian (shan-awn) which has had a long run of popularity in Ireland.
Donnacha–An unusual name to the American eye, it's pronounced done-acka and belonged to a High King of Ireland. Simpler version Donagh (done-a) might be more possible here.
Odhran—Pronounced o-ran or o-rin, a name of seventeen Irish saints. The phonetic Oran is also on the Irish list, and Oran, Orin and Oren are all heard occasionally in the US.
Niall—This name of a fourth century King of Tara is pronounced as ny-all, and translated here as Neil or Neal–names that haven't been heard much in the US in decades.
Daithi—Pronounced da-hee, Daithi was the name of the last pagan King of Ireland.
For the full list of top Irish names, go here.
The only Irish names on the U.S. Top 100 are, for girls, the surname names Riley and Kennedy. For boys, the Irish names beyond Aiden and its variations in the Top 100 are Liam, Ryan, Connor, Kevin, Brody, and Nolan.

Niall may become better known through Niall Horan a member of British Boy Band One Direction. Niall is from Northern Ireland. I am not sure how well known they are in the US but in Australia they are huge.

I'm usually not a proponent of changing original spellings…but 90% of these would only be usable in the US spelled phonetically.

Aoife, Clodagh, Orla (or Orlaith), Tara and Eimear (I also like the phonetically spelt Emer) are favourites of mine. From the boys I like Oisin, Tadhg, Daithi and Odhran. I also REALLY love something about the spelling Ruairi, but I'm not overly fussed about Rory.
I think all of these are more usable in the UK (outside of Northern Ireland, I mean) than in the states, understandably, because they're used far more commonly. For instance, Dara is well-recognised here thanks to the comedian Dara Ó Briain. I also know several non-Irish kids named Aoife, Ciara, Niamh, Orla, Tara, Cian, Ciaran, Finn and Niall.
I really love Irish names, and I'd love to use one to honour my Irish heritage when I have kids.

I always thought Niamh/Neve was pronounced "Nev" and not "Neev." I like the sound of "Nev" so much better! Bummed.
I ADORE Callum but it's already catching on in my little corner of the world. Last year I had not one but 2 Callums in one of my classes!

With the possibilities in Australia there are quite a few Niamh's and Neve's. Sinead and Ciara are also used. I know one Orla and her actual name is Orflaugh which she says is the proper Irish way to spell it. Callum and Rory are common here as is Ryan. Ciaran is more commonly spelt Kieran. Ronan Keating is an Irish singer-songwriter and a judge on our version of The X Factor. There are heaps of Finn's and that ranks in our top 100 with Finlay and Finley following behind. Irish Australians seem to use the easier to pronounce Irish Names

Hi I'm Irish and I'm familiar with the vast majority of these names, my own name is included on the list! 🙂
I'd just like to correct some of the pronunciation as I am a fluent Irish speaker:
Caoimhe – more commonly pronounced as "qwee-va" in Ireland, but "kee-va" is not unheard of.
Saoirse – can also be pronounced as "seer-sha" but Saoirse Ronan herself uses the pronunciation "sare-sha"
Aisling – very popular in Ireland! It means vision or dream.
Aine – is pronounced "awn-ya" as in fawn or yawn.
Aoibhinn and Aoibheann — would NEVER be pronounced as "even" in Ireland hahaha!!! It's "aye-veen" and it means lovely or beautiful.
In Irish speaking areas, known as Gaeltacht regions, certain names are pronounced slightly differently, for example Meave, ( Meadbh is the Irish spelling, with a "d") would be pronounced "mee-ub" and Sinead would be pronounced "shin-ud".
Siobhan – this is pronounced "shi-vawn" and is the Irish version of Joan.
Tadhg- like saying "tiger" but without the "er"
Ciaran – is actually pronounced "keer-awn".
Fionn – pronounced "fee-yun", not "finn" and it means fair, or fair-haired
Also Fionn "Mac Cool" is incorrect. The correct spelling is Fionn mac Cumhaill pronounced "Mac Cool".
I also wouldn't underestimate the potential for "Darragh" to catch on in the US- it's an immensely popular boys name in Ireland and it has a very masculine meaning derived from "oak tree".
Also @ebenezer.scrouge – Niall Horan from One Direction is not from Northern Ireland he's from Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland.
Finally, some of these names are missing a fada- a fada is basically an accent over a vowel and it changes the pronounciation e.g. an "I" gets an "ee" sound when there is a fada.
Hope this comment was helpful!!

I'm curious how you define "Irish names" Nameberry. You must mean fake, Americanized Irish names. Have you ever heard of Grace O'Malley? Katie is an Irish name too. Jack, James, Sean, Daniel and Michael are all Irish. Conor and Ryan are Irish surnames adopted by Americans as first names that trickled back to Ireland as first names.

The first four Irish girl names all belong to my sisters and I; Aoife Sinead Orlaith, Saoirse Aisling Alannah , Ciara and Caoimhe. Eimear and Aoibhe, my other sisters are also there too. Although, I've been in an all irish school all my life and live in a gaeltacht area, your pronunciation of Caoimhe is wrong though some people do say it like that. KWEE-VA…

September's Flash Fiction Challenge Winner: "Settling" by Katrina Monroe
Submitted by Renee_Miller on October 7, 2011 - 12:29pm
Share |
September's challenge was to write a story in which the protagonist makes a mistake, an error in judgment that affects more than just the protagonist's life. In doing so, I also asked you to make the reader feel the emotions that the protagonist feels. This is not an easy task to accomplish in 500 words. Congratulations, Katrina Monroe, for meeting the challenge.

Kissing Leslie wasn't like kissing a boy.
In junior high, boys hadn't learned to kiss yet — shoving their tongues in my mouth, as though trying to lick the back of my throat. But with Leslie, it was like dancing.
The sour smell of beer on Jared's breath gagged me, but I couldn't remember the last time it smelled any different. Maybe on our wedding day, but that ordeal is a just a blur.
"Com'ere and gimme a kiss."
I held my breath and let him scrape his sandpaper face on my mouth.
I only joined the prom committee because Leslie wanted to. Public displays of school pride, town pride… she was a true Japhet, Alabama girl on the outside.
The "Fighting Bulls" float was almost finished, and Leslie volunteered us to stay after school to finish it so the rest of the committee could go home. I was on my back, hanging lights from the platform, when Leslie settled her hips between my legs. Her lips brushed my neck and blood pumped through me, making everything tingle and burn. I found her belt and pulled her tighter against me. Her lips moved faster, more insistent, and —
"What the hell is going on here?"
We both froze, eyes closed.
They called Leslie's parents first. The principal's secretary separated us while we waited for them to come.
Even as the organ music echoed through the church, I still hoped that Leslie would come back for me.
Jared wanted us to write out own vows. I suppose he thought it would make me happy. He often did things like that. He was a good man by Japhet standards.
I just wasn't sure it would be enough.
Suspended for a week, I was subjected to awkward stares from my father and the silent treatment from my mother. The following Monday, I ran to Leslie's locker hoping to meet her before the first bell.
I waited ten minutes past the tardy bell before I finally dragged myself away.
My lab partner, Jared, was at the table when I trudged into class. Frog dissection supplies were set out already. I'd completely forgotten about it. I sat down without acknowledging him and fixed my eyes on the door.
She wasn't coming back.
"Are you alright, Chrissy?" Jared asked.
I could only shake my head.
It was when the teacher began distributing the frogs that I fell apart. My shoulders pulsed and I bit my lip to bleeding to keep the tears at bay.
Jared leaned toward me and slid his arm around my middle.
"Don't worry, Chrissy. I'll do the dissection. It's pretty normal for girls to have trouble with this sorta thing. You can just write stuff down, okay? Feel better?"
I covered my face and took deep, controlled breaths.
Jared rubbed his hand over my back in jerky, awkward circles. "Good girl. I'll take care of you."

1985 Holden Commodore VK – Today's Aussie Muscle Tempter
Thumping V8 and Simmons… what's not to love?
The VK Holden Commodore is the fourth iteration of the first generation of one of Australia's best local automotive monikers.
Released in February of 1984, the VK replaced the outgoing VH Commodore, and stayed in production until February 1986.
Changes made over its predecessor were mostly aesthetic in nature, with the VK scoring a new front grille, plastic front and rear bumpers and the introduction of a rear quarter window.
The VK was made available to customers as either a four-door sedan or a five-door station wagon.
This example is a 1985 model that has been reimagined to replicate an HDT SS and comes complete with a brand new 5.0lt V8 and trimatic auto transmission.
The seller says it has also recently had its brakes and suspension serviced and is sitting on a set of 20-inch Simmons wheels.
The VK Commodore is $35,000 and anyone interested in this fantastic faux HDT SS can view the full listing here.

Why did Irving choose to have Rip Van Winkle sleep for the 20-year span of the American Revolution?

Rip van Winkle has come to be symbolic of a person who is oblivious to changes around him. By having his protagonist in "Rip van Winkle" sleep for twenty years, remarkable changes have been wrought by the time that Rip awakens. While he is young, the Kaatskill Mountains area is part of the thirteen original colonies with King George ruling. After Rip awakens and returns to town, he sees a sign over the tavern that reads, "George Washington" and he is absolutely baffled. Yet, despite all the political and social changes, Rip--oblivious as ever--
now reseumed his old walks and habits; he soon found many of his former croneis, though all rather the worse for the wear and tear of time; and preferred making friends among the rising generation, with whom he soon grew into great favor. having nothing to do at home, and being arrived at that happy age when a man can be idle, with impunity, he took his place once more on the bench at the inn door...the changes of states and empires made but little impression on him...
Only his freedom from the "petticoat government" relieves Rip. Governmental changes in the country interest him not.

AND as if our wonderful friends & our house being okay was not enough blessing, we got a call today that our power & internet are back on!!! whaaaa????? YES! sooo in the idea of "blessed to bless", we're returning to houston tomorrow with hopes to help out our many friends & neighbors who are still with out power & running low on gas & groceries. we stocked up @ our old kroger & head out in the early a.m.
so here are a few pics from our fun weekend...

"Recipes for Success" Cooked Up for Restaurant Entrepreneurs
The County's new "Recipes for Success" program is designed to help individuals planning to open a new restaurant or expand an existing restaurant navigate the County's permitting and licensing process quickly and efficiently.
"Recipes for Success" includes a free, pre-design consultation at which representatives from all County agencies involved in restaurant approvals will be available to explain the requirements to open or expand a restaurant. Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services (DPS) is partnering with the departments of Economic Development, Liquor Control, Health and Human Services (HHS) and Fire and Rescue Service, as well as the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.
Every Tuesday prospective and existing restaurant owners will have the chance to meet with representatives from the departments at one time to review their plans and learn how to open or expand a restaurant in the County.
The "Recipes for Success Welcome Packet" will be available at all County regional services centers or online. Business owners can also schedule a free pre-design consultation meeting by calling 311 or 240-777-0311 from outside the County. To download the preliminary design consultation application packet, visit the DPS website.

The term jackpot was first attested in an 1881 edition of the Harvard Lampoon, where it was stylized Jack Pots and described a type of poker game where players needed a Jack card or better to be ante, and a large amount would accrue right before the end. Therefore, the name got applied to a large sum of money; by 1932 it could refer to slot machine winnings and by 1944 it had to do with lotteries too. "Hit the jackpot" was first coined in 1938. Now to break apart the word Jack Pots: the name of the card type Jack comes from Middle English jakke, which only meant "guy", and that goes back to the name John, which I've covered in a previous post. Pot is quite boring: in Old French, it was pot, and earlier in Latin it was pottus. Before that, the etymology is uncertain.

♥ Cute Bear Neddle Felt Charms ♥
♥ Cute Bear Neddle Felt Charms ♥
Recently finished a custom order of bear needle felt charms. I personally LOVED how it turned out. It was first time for me to make Pikachu (Pokemon) out of needle felt 😀
According to my customer, her three beautiful nieces likes Pikachu, blue puppy and bear. So I decorated bears according to their preference.
Did you like the pikachu that I made? I really really like it! I'm thinking maybe I should make one for myself 😛 BTW, pikachu is my all time favorite Pokemon!
I like this photo very much, romantic and antique ♥
Another needle felt blue puppy, I made it according to a very blurry photo, but I think I got it very close! He has 2 large floppy ears with big eyes ^_^
Closeup bear body. You can see the embellishments and very colorful yarn that I purchased from Japan. It was a special handmade yarn, seller had very limited quantities for sale and I was lucky to get 2 skeins! :O
The pretty blue puppy bear <3
This is the third bear that I made for them. Only with crystals and pearl beads. No needle felt was made because this is for the youngest girl in the family and she didn't mention any favorite character or animal. BUT I gave her one big red apple, I hope she loves it!
Really love to make custom orders! I guess this suits my personality. I don't like to make same thing over and over again =_= To me, that's boring.
Oh, a sneak peek of what's available at the upcoming Anime Convention in Jan 2014
Sailor Alpacasso collection
Very pretty Alpacasso buttons
More items will be created and revealed in here, hopefully you guys will like what I created ^_^ By any chance if you're attending the Animate Miami 2014 please come to our booth (#710) and say "HI" to us!
Thank you!!
Amigurumi and Handmade Items Update
♥Amigurumi and Handmade Items Update [ September] ♥
Hi guys! Sorry being away for this long, I was quite busy with work and all other things and did have time to update my blog 🙁 Just want to give you guys an update for what I have been working on past few weeks AND what's my plan for the rest of the year!
First of all, I've started to make accessories! YAY! Currently working on few charms then I will start to make hair pins, bracelets and necklaces. I hope you'll like my item as I will reveal them in my blog. Please give me comments on what you like to see in the shop, I'll see if I can make that happen. ^^
For those of you like Alpacasso…ah, these cute fluffy alpacasso ^^ I have plans to make "Alpacasso-like- items" myself, instead of purchasing it from Japan. If you've been following my Facebook, you will know that my last Alpacasso package still stuck in U.S. Customs, since July 27th. I doubt that I'll ever see my alpacasso and I feel bad for my customers who ordered it. 🙁 I had either replace with other item or refund.
This is why I don't feel comfortable to order again. I promise you that my alpacasso will be very fluffy and cute. Not exactly like Amuse alpacasso, but my very own version of alpacasso.
OKAY, here are few items that I want to test water and see if you guys like it or not.
This is the pink piggy wool felt that I finished. It was a little gift for my Nice's friend, she LOVED! ^^Read More»

A novel honey-based dressing for lightly to moderately to heavily exuding wounds. The dressing contains 95% Active Leptospermum Honey, can be used to cover a shallow wound or fill a deep wound, and provides a moist environment conducive to wound healing. Active Leptospermum Honey has been shown to have several properties which assist in promoting an optimal healing environment. It has a low pH, and has been shown to help lower the overall wound pH, which is beneficial to chronic wounds. The honey is also highly osmotic, which assists in debridement and keeping the wound bed clean. This non-toxic dressing can be used as a cornerstone for wound bed preparation and throughout all the phases of wound healing.
A soft, highly absorbent (absorbs more than 14 times its weight) dressing that quickly forms a hydrophilic gel to protect and cover the wound bed. Holds together wet or dry. While many alginates dissolve, this dressing keeps its form so it's easy to remove, generally on one piece. Latex free.

Stop for a moment and think back about the last time you argued with somebody. It doesn't necessarily have to be an argument you had with your spouse - It can be with anyone.
About anything.
Ok, now ask yourself the following question: Why were you and that other person arguing?
The answer probably goes somewhere along the lines of:
"Because I thought/wanted/said/(insert whichever verb applies) this, and the other person thought/wanted/said/(insert whichever verb applies) something else."
When we break down and analyze an argument - any argument - it basically boils down to the disagreement between both parties regarding the specific topic of the argument.
Taking this into consideration, it is important to know that people argue simply because of one reason: We all, without exception, like to be right.
Being Right vs. Being Happy.
While there is no shame in once in a while admitting being wrong, let's face it, it is not exactly the most pleasant sensation.
As a matter of fact, some people are so afraid of being wrong and looking bad in front of others that they'll go to extremes to prove their point of view. And if you happen to know one (or several) of these extremely righteous people, you may probably have to take certain measures when dealing with them in order to avoid a possible argument.
Unfortunately, many of these "anti-argument measures" end up being things such as lying, repression of feelings, even avoidance of the righteous person. And sadly, this has a tremendous negative impact in the relationship you have with that person.
When it comes to marriage, if you or your spouse happen to have the tendency to want to "always be right," that is the root that generates some of the worst issues that can destroy a marriage.
After all, who wants to be in a relationship where you constantly have to be surrounded by lies? Or one in which you can't express yourself freely in front of your spouse? And by the time you are doing everything you can to avoid your spouse (or your spouse is doing everything to avoid you), those are clear grounds for divorce.
Righteousness: The enemy of happiness.
Think about the last time you "won" an argument. How did you feel immediately afterwards?
Sure, maybe your ego was throbbing with pleasure, but what about your relationship with the person with whom you argued? Chances are some damage was done, even if the other person apparently seemed to be ok with "losing" the argument.
When you look at that, that feeling of "victory" that you experience doesn't seem to be so appealing anymore. And when you think about it, is it really worth risking the relationship with someone you care about only so you can feed your ego? Sad, but true.
Expressing disagreement in your marriage without arguing.
Since you and your spouse obviously are not clones of each other, it is a fact that at some point you will have different opinions or points of view regarding something.
Whenever that happens, keep something in mind: Disagreement does not have to lead to an argument! After all, points of view are nothing other than that: points of view! And there is absolutely nothing that says that one point of view is more valid than another, because they all are opinions. And there is no place in life, science, philosophy, psychology, the dictionary, the Internet or anywhere else where it is stated that an opinion equals the truth.
So the next time you and your spouse start arguing about something, stop for a moment and analyze which are your conflicting points of view. And then talk, not argue, about them.
Talking without arguing.
The key element here is open and honest communication. Express to your spouse why you think in that particular way and then let him or her do the same. The more details you provide, the better your spouse will understand. And when it's your turn to listen to your spouse, then by all means, shut up and listen!
Learning to listen is crucial for understanding each other. And for everyone's sake, forget about who's right and who's wrong! Once again remember: No one is right… Or wrong! You just have different opinions!
When you don't have to fight to be right, being happy naturally happens.
Knowing that you and your spouse are individuals who have their particular points of view can help you understand and avoid unnecessary arguments. Knowing that, when it comes to opinions, there's no such thing as being right or being wrong can also prevent conflict not only in a marriage, but also in relationships in general.
And who can argue that not arguing on a regular basis can bring more happiness to your marriage?

BRIAN WERNER Claims He Owns INFERNAEON Name And All Related Intellectual Property Rights
In response to a recent post on BLABBERMOUTH.NET where members of Florida-based blackened death metal group INFERNAEON claimed that they parted ways with singer Brian Werner and planned to carry on with a new lineup, Werner offered a very different version of the split, insisting that bass player Kevin Gibbons and keyboard player David Stein had been fired from the band.
Commented Werner: "We are glad to finally rid ourselves of this cancer that has been eating away at this band from the inside for many years now. The truth of the matter is you are only as professional as your weakest member. I don't know of ANY band that allows you to get drunk and miss practice, or now show up to practice for over a year, or start physical fights in front of promoters and still expect to have your job the next day.
"The truth of the matter is I am the sole owner of ALL intellectual property rights, the name itself, all the lyrics, most of the music, all the artwork, the logo, all the social media sites, all the merchandise as well as I am the ONLY member to appear on every INFERNAEON album. Kevin Gibbons was, in fact, a core member until he chose to leave the band and elected not to record on the band's newest album, 'Genesis To Nemesis', therefore giving up any all rights he had. It's funny how members who actually quit the band and aren't on the last album want to try to force me out."
Added drummer Adam Sagan: "It's unfortunate that it's come to this, but the fact of the matter is Kevin and Dave don't have a leg to stand on. Neither one of them procured a single show, tour, recording contract, management deal, booking agent or endorsement for the band. Their firing has been long overdue, and what happened in Puerto Rico is ultimately the straw that broke the camel's back.
"The truth of the matter is that Brian Werner owns all intellectual property pertaining to INFERNAEON; the name, lyrics, images, trademarks, etc. Imagine someone telling Dani that he's fired from CRADLE OF FILTH and you'll understand the arrogance at work in this situation. It was also quite a surprise to me when I woke up a couple of days ago to see that they had unilaterally started a new Facebook page proclaiming to be the 'official' INFERNAEON page, which not only had no vocalist listed, but also listed Jeramie Kling as the band's drummer. Jeramie and I spoke on the phone that morning and he was even more surprised by this than I was. This is very indicative of how these two attempt to handle business. That being said, I wish them luck in whatever endeavors they choose to pursue — even the foolish, baseless legal actions they are threatening."
INFERNAEON's latest album, "Genesis To Nemesis", was released on August 31, 2010 via Prosthetic Records. The CD was recorded at Erik Rutan's Mana Recording Studios (GOATWHORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, HATE ETERNAL) in St. Petersburg, Florida with producer Brian Elliott. The cover artwork was created by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco.
"Genesis To Nemesis" features guest appearances by Oderus Urungus (GWAR), Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL, MORBID ANGEL), John Zahner (SAVATAGE), Bill Hudson (COLDERA, CELLADOR, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, POWER QUEST) and John Slaughter (COLDERA, SKINDUSTRY).
