This whole country will be sitting ducks for shooting spree and criminals an even the government if the left gets their way banning guns.According to the left you only need a single shot shotgun or rifle to go hunting so everything else is unnecessary.I can see people digging holes and burying their guns in their yards or woods right now.If they start confiscating guns,it´ll be nazi germany all over again.

My guess is that this week we will learn that the shooter spent past year threatening his mother and making plans to slaughter people.

He definitely left his "high powered rifle" in his mother´s car and entered the school with his two handguns. There were numerous reports that the rifle was found in the car.

Use of the Bushmaster is key info, it´s the weapon the anti-gun side can most easily go after. We´ve already seen these people lie on the subject -- Fast and Furious, Libyan/Syrian arms, they´re not above bending the facts to serve their agenda. If they´re lying about the Bushmaster being the primary weapon used by Lanza, no one will have the guts to investigate the lies.Is the coroner the final say? It would be clear to responders whether pistol or rifle ammo was used -- spent casings, wounds.How did scrawny Lanza cart around three (?) weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammo, a lot of weight and mass.

Everyone, start thinking !He tried to BUY a gun a few days before..deduction, his mother´s weapons were NOT easily accessible.

ALL the students and teachers he killed in the school were killed with the RIFLE. The State Police spokesman has been saying that since early Saturday after the autopsies at every press conference.

Agreed #18. The news whores have so tarnished their own reputations that we don´t know what is true anymore.Reminds me of the old Soviet Union practice of removing people from pictures once they were out of favor or sent to new quarters, either in the gulag or the cemetery. The state subservient "news" outlets are attempting to change the narrative in order to help their masters exploit this tragedy to further their agenda, even if the so called solution (e.g., banning "assault" weapons) would have had absolutely NO effect in stopping the latest episode.

We don´t know why he did it and if law enforcement has any theories on the subject they aren´t saying. The news coverage of this is typical. A bunch of baying jackals trying to scoop each other, rudely shoving microphones in the faces of little kids and bringing an endless parade of so-called experts to give their irrelevant opinions on what should have, could have or may have happened. And millions of Americans hung over the cable news channels watching it. #18, your views, also, are pure speculation and opinion. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I believe the coroner and sheriff before I believe some journalist. I watched the coroner press conference live. The Bushmaster was the primary weapon used, each body had between 3 to 11 bullets, and he shot himself with a pistol. When the sheriff was asked how many rounds were fired, he said he didn´t have that information, but it was "a lot.".Where, exactly, the reports came from, the rifle was left in the car, I cannot say. I can say at the presser, it was the primary weapon they said was used.Misinformation? Coverup? No. Sloppy, typical journalism. We slam it on a daily basis, why is it gospel now?!Wow, people. Go to the sorce, stop panicking at secondhand sources that are known to have agendas! Click Here if you Like this Comment
Reporting is all incoherent. Rifle, not a rifle? It´s hard to take a rifle into a confined space and fire at a bunch of different targets, a handgun would seem a better weapon, and there are various reports that he had "high-capacity magazines" for all weapons. CAN you put a high-capacity magazine on those little pistols?So he had a couple of boxes of ammo, or did he have a bunch of preloaded clips, or what? Click Here if you Like this Comment
#18.. THAT my friend has been the thing going through my head all along, did he kill her to get to her guns? Many people who have a carry permit keep their carry gun out at night in case of an emergency. Had he known this and known where it was, the possibility he simply eliminated her to get at her guns is very real. His motive is the key to all this. I doubt the media will ever report on that.Also, "hundreds of rounds of ammo" are not really odd to those of us who have guns and enjoy shooting for fun and practice and shoot regularly, like a couple times a month regularly. Find a good deal, stock up just like you do with green beans or cereal. Bullets are not deadly sitting in a box in the bottom of a gun safe anymore than a bag of beans are sitting in your pantry. And when at the range, depending on the gun, a couple boxes of 20 rounds or a box of 50 doesn´t take long to empty if you are doing target practice.100% Gun Control CAN´T Control Crazy!!

#22.. I suppose they are and why are we not allowed to use our brains according to you? I don´t believe for one moment that a single person in this country has not allowed these topics to roll around in their head and tried to reason out some explanation/s. Obviously it will be a long time before the facts are known, should the authorities ever choose to tell us. It is one thing to reason out your confused thinking on an internet forum to try to wrap your brain around the incomprehensible. It is another thing entirely to report speculation as fact, as the media does. I would hope you would know the difference. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
# 18 Makes a valid point. Which the the media has ignored in their frenzy to now paint is mother as an evil doer.FTA- " Among the questions: Why did his mother, a well-to-do suburban divorcee, keep a cache of high-power weapons in the house? "The media´s reporting has been abysmal.He used an " assault weapon " , he used a rifle or according to NBC yesterday , only handguns were found in the school.None of the weapons he used were his -they were stolen from his mother.Just like the stolen weapons used by the Oregon mall shooter .When a " troubled young man " killed his father´s girlfriend and his father with a crossbowand a knife and then himself at Casper Community College in Wyoming Nov 30 , how come we didn´t have a national dialogue about banningcrossbows and knives ?We need to ban disturbed young men.

Yesterday it was a Sig and a Glock, today a high power rifle?

There was news about a shooting at a San Antonio movie theater in our local papers today. The guy shot someone in the parking lot and then headed into the theater where he was shot by an off-duty sheriff working security in the theater. This probably won´t make national news. In Austin, our middle and high schools have armed security guards and in light of what happened in CT I bet there will be a push for armed security at elementary schools also. At least let the principles carry a concealed handgun or stash some protection in their desks! Click Here if you Like this Comment

Never did figure out how they got from a Bushmaster left in the car to a call for a national ban on assault weapons.But I´m sure the media will explain what one had to do with the other. Click Here if you Like this Comment
If the handguns were 9mm, they would most likely have 15 round mags. The Bushmaster would hold 20-30 rounds depending on size of mag. If you average 5-6 shots per child, he didn´t have to reload all that often. Twice at the most. The mags, of course, would have been pre-loaded.One simple .38 in the principal´s office or a strong security door would have prevented his entry.A high powered rifle in the car makes no sense at all, but then neither did the attack on innocent children. It´s tough to outguess crazy. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
I want all of YOU to think about and discuss this with others.This PREZ himself has said on a number of occasions that his first and primary mission is to protect this countries citizens! He cannot even protect OUR children in HIS school system! They (DC & MSM) are ALWAYS reminding us this is a FEDERAL school system so no prayer, etc., etc.They (the Feds) WASTE so much of (OUR) money that if they controlled their spending, we could afford to have several cops or armed security people in every school. Look how we put Air Marshalls on every flight after 9-11. Think about that a second.Now think about that a little more and consider how the budget talks have went. If these clowns in DC could STOP wasting our money and start trying to protect us instead of themselves then we wouldn't have to worry as we send our kids to school. They just want to keep spending and do nothing to control it and actually adhere to their main mission of keeping us safe! And as the deficit grows further, the defense budget gets cut. BUT NOT THOSE FREE CELL PHONES HUH! Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
See how that works! They can't protect us here, they don't protect our people overseas as you have already have witnessed in Benghazi, and soon they won't protect us here in the USA from those others overseas that want to harm us.On top of all that the DC idiot´s don´t use or enforce the laws that are already on the books to protect us, but instead say they will make a new law and take away the tools and means for us to protect ourselves.If anyone of you thinks for one single second that you are going to be safer once all the guns are SUPPOSEDLY confiscated? Just remember, this is the very same Administration that gave weapons to cartel members to kill you with!WAAAAAAKE UP! Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Got to assume that the shooter was killing what he saw as the replacements for himself in his mother´s eyes. The killings were a subsequence of the deranged and depressed Adam Lanza not being reported. Incredibly unfortunate, but his should have restricted the weapons she housed.

am i kooky or is the wording of this article (and a few others) a bit coy somehow about who fired the 10 mm shot to the head. "The unthinkable bloodshed might even have been worse. Gov. Dannel Malloy said Lanza shot himself as first responders entered the building" - mm are the authors kind of hinting that this is the gov´s unlikely story and he is sticking to it? Elsewhere we heard that he died of a 10 mm shot to the head, again i found the wording coy. ? Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
There is a broad based answer that can work.Most all government bhildings are heavily guarded, they have their universal budgets.Government school buildings are not guarded.In each public school district there is a monster dead weight of non teacher bureaucrats in nearby lavish downtown office building faking make-work doing absolutely nothing. Fire them all, pay off the union blackmail and there will be plenty of monsy left over to add armed security to all schools in most districts.The security of children should be at least as strong if not much more than it is now for worthless armies of non essential desk bound bureaucrats.

Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.
Jennifer Nelson is your link to a better diet. As specialty editor for food and nutrition, she plays a vital role in bringing you healthy recipes and meal planning.
"Nutrition is one way people have direct control over the quality of their lives," she says. "I hope to translate the science of nutrition into ways that people can select and prepare great-tasting foods that help maintain health and treat disease."
Nelson, a St. Paul, Minn., native, is a registered dietitian and has been with Mayo Clinic since 1978. She is director of clinical dietetics and an associate professor of nutrition at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic.
She leads clinical nutrition efforts for a staff of more than 70 clinical dietitians and nine dietetic technicians and oversees staffing, strategic and financial planning, and quality improvement. Nelson was co-editor of the James Beard Foundation Award-winning "The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook" and the New York Times best-seller "The Mayo Clinic Diet."
She's been a contributing author to and reviewer of many other Mayo Clinic books and publications, including "The Mayo Clinic Family Health Book," "The Mayo Clinic/Williams Sonoma Cookbook" and the "Mayo Clinic Health Letter." She contributes to the strategic direction of nutrition, healthy eating and healthy recipes content, including creating recipes and menus, preparing and reviewing nutrition content, contributing to the Nutrition-wise blog, and answering nutrition questions.

What are functional foods?
I've heard the term "functional foods," but I don't know what it means. Can you explain?
from Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.
Functional foods are foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. Oatmeal is a familiar example of a functional food because it naturally contains soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels. Some foods are modified to have health benefits. An example is orange juice that's been fortified with calcium for bone health.
Of course, all foods are functional because they provide varying amounts of nutrients and energy to sustain growth or support vital processes. However, functional foods are generally considered to offer additional benefits that may reduce the risk of disease or promote optimal health.
Currently no legal definition exists for functional foods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates claims that manufacturers make about functional foods' nutrient content and effects on disease, health or body function. The FDA regulates these types of foods according to whether a food is considered to be a conventional food, a food additive, a dietary supplement, a medical food or a food for special dietary use.

Rawlins, Wyoming
RV World Campground
[ 6/10 ]
The staff at this park was some of the best we have encountered. Very helpful and friendly. Can't say much for the park except the restrooms were very clean with plenty of hot water. It was a little hard to find our way into the park from the interstate, but we finally did. OK for an overnight stay.
Lyons, Colorado
Lyons Meadow RV Park & Campground
[ 8/10 ]
This is a very small city run campground just outside Boulder, CO. It is gravel and adjoins a small city park with shower and bathroom facilities. The showers are coin operated. The park has nice play areas and picnic areas. Weekends are extremely busy with lots of families using the park and campground. Reservations are a must. This is a very basic campground but the only one we could find around Boulder,CO with space available. The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed a week and would return again.
West Yellowstone, Montana
Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Except for the price, this is a nice park. It is extremely busy with rigs coming in and pulling out daily. Lots of people. The park is well maintained, and the staff friendly. Nice area abuts the park for hiking and walking the dog, but as all through this area bears must be watched out for. We would stay here again as all the parks in the area are expensive, and this is one of the nicest.
Springville, Utah
East Bay RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a nice park and has some sites with a little shade. It has a nice little dog park ,and there were many dogs. A large part of the park housed long-time campers who were working construction on I-15. There were no problems with that, and the construction was nearing completion when we stayed there. Clean facilities and well cared for grounds. Lots of mosquitoes from the nearby stagnant pond in the evenings made it uncomfortable to sit outside for long. There was quite a bit of traffic and train noise, but we would stay here again.
Pocatello, Idaho
Cowboy RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice park. Although it is close to the interstate there was not any noise, and the park is very nice. We only stayed overnight, but would stay again if we get the chance.
Dillon, Montana
Southside RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very nice park with super clean bathrooms and a good laundry. The owners are around all the time working on things. We stayed here a week and enjoyed it. If you get a chance it is a nice place to stop and be sure and eat at the "Bus" on the main street of town.
Green River, Utah
Shady Acres RV Park & Campground
[ 5/10 ]
This was an overnight stay for us. There was a little shade, but the park is very poorly kept. It does have the nicest dog park I have ever seen, but that was the only good thing. It is an old park with little care. I would not stay again for more than an overnight.
Boulder, Wyoming
Wind River View Campground
[ 5/10 ]
Rate reflects AOR rate per night. We were very disappointed in this park. Dry, rocky dirt and lots of wind. There is not much to make one want to stay. It's too windy to fish, sit outside or put out the awning. We planned to stay 10 days but stayed 2 days and decided to move on. The camp hosts were wonderful accommodating, friendly people. The showers and restrooms were clean, but there is a lack of hot water. The laundry facility was nice. Groceries were seven miles away in Pinedale but not a problem. We would not stay here again.
Palisades, Idaho
Palisades RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This small shady, quiet park is a gem. There is room enough between cabins and RV spots to accommodate a 30 to 40 people for a reunion and they cater to that as well as regular over-nighters or those who stay a few days. Showers and bathrooms are like the ones at home and very clean. The laundry is also clean and nice. The camp host and owners were really friendly and accommodating. Lots of grass and flowers are everywhere. Covered picnic areas, grills, water fountain and shade. We had no trouble with the trees and our RV The temperatures were in the 90's but we were comfortable. They only have 30 AMP power but with the shade and cool grass, we got along great with one air conditioner in 90+ temperatures. Limited cable TV but adequate. We absolutely would come again and encourage other to stay also. Close to tourist areas of the western side of the Tetons, access to Jackson Hole area and within driving distance of Yellowstone and other attractions. 45 miles from Idaho Falls so services are a bit limited. Limited groceries available at local convenience store across the highway. This campground is right on the Snake River with great river access and boat access for fishermen.
Cheyenne, Wyoming
AB Camping & RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice park, friendly and accommodating. Requested a shady site and it was very nice. Good Verizon coverage. Cable was pretty good. BBQ restaurant on site is superb - not something to miss. We would absolutely stay here again even if we had to travel a little extra to do it. Price is with Good Sam discount. Almost all sites are pull thru.
Munds Park, Arizona
Munds Park RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed here based on other reviews and found the park to be shady with well trimmed trees, fairly easy pull-through for a 40' motorhome and very clean bathrooms, showers and laundry. There is a pool and spa which are very nice. Each camping site has a picnic table. Most of the staff was friendly and efficient. We stayed here for 11 days, and were parked next to the office toward the back of the park in space no. 31, so we had little traffic noise from the park or the interstate and had full shade. There is a very nice, fenced pet area. Seasonal residents were friendly. As it was nearing the end of the season the store was not as well stocked as I would normally expect, but there are two gas stations with food supplies a very short distance away and a fairly good small café. When we dumped, their septic tank overflowed making a real mess, even soaking my feet. It was very unpleasant and also happened to two other campers. After reporting it, twice, they sent the maintenance people to clean it up and spread lime throughout the spilled area, but the odor was not pleasant for the next 24 hours. In addition their rotor router equipment was not working properly so it was very frustrating for them, too. As occupants left that part of the park they did not rent any more spaces. The next day they had a truck there pumping the septic system. I went over and found that their tanks were completely full so the proper attention was lacking for pumping the tanks. When we checked out two days later I spoke to the lady manager about it, and she had no apology to offer and did not have the attitude I would have expected. She said it was up to the maintenance personal to apologize. She did say they were going to dig the entire area up and redo the lines and system after the first of October (2011). It was quite evident from the conversation that they had been having problems with this for some time. After having a very pleasant stay in the cool, refreshing mountain air, this was a real disappointment. I won't stay here again unless I'm sure the septic system is fixed, and I would definitely stay again if it is fixed. I also plan to contact the owners of the park about my experience. I guess I expected a refund for the two days the sewer was not working and the smell was terrible but that was not offered.
San Felipe, New Mexico
San Felipe's Casino Hollywood
[ 7/10 ]
There is a Travel Center/Truck stop at this location as well as the Casino. Showers are available at the truck stop for $10. The RV parking is side by side on a gravel parking lot with 30 and 50 amp power available for $20. The Casino had buffets but we did not eat there. The truck stop restaurant had good food. Gas and diesel were convenient. Trucks do stop over night at the truck stop but we had no noise from the interstate or the truck stop. The casino is very smokey but they gave us $10 each to gamble with so the cost for the site was a break even. There is security patrol of the area all day & night so I felt secure. It was OK for an overnight stay while traveling.
Gallup, New Mexico
USA RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Gravel sites (and lots of them) which are close to each other with paved streets, the area for parking is no beauty but is well maintained. It has a very nice store and gift shop and very friendly, helpful staff. The pool was closed but there is a nice picnic area and they serve dinners at an affordable price. There was highway noise from the interstate and noise from the railroad but we were parked far enough toward the back of the park that it was not too bothersome. However, they had jets planes getting ready for an air show constantly flying over head and the noise was so loud that you had to cover your ears. This were flying over during the afternoon and evening until about 9 PM. We did not hear much other airplane traffic. It was OK for an overnight stop while traveling.
Milan, New Mexico
Bar S RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
For the price this is a very nice park. The only problem is that it is between the Interstate on one side and the railroad track on the other. It has level, gravel, easy pull throughs and easily accommodates a 40' motorhome. The sites have some shade. It was great for a quick overnight stay while traveling.
Raton, New Mexico
Cedar Rail RV Park & Campground
[ 10/10 ]
We stopped without reservations and were greeted by friendly, efficient hosts. It was hot and this campground is cool even on the hottest day. It is small but the sites are plenty big for a 40' motorhome. The bathrooms and showers are some of the cleanest I have ever seen. The park was quiet at night despite being fairly close to the interstate and railroad. We did not hear any noise. The view is beautiful. We stayed again on our way back home and will stay again if we get the chance.
Lincoln, Nebraska
Camp A Way
[ 10/10 ]
This is a very nice campground. There is lots of shade but trees are well trimmed so no problem with dodging tree branches. The atmosphere is pleasant and although it is close to I-80 and I-180 we were not bothered by traffic noise. Our site was located near the creek behind the office. Sites higher up nearer the highway did have traffic noise. The park is very well maintained and clean. Friendly staff. Park is located for easy access to shopping. We enjoyed our stay.
Amana, Iowa
Amana Colonies RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Nice campground with clean bathroom facilities. The park is in a open field with no shade but they are planting some trees. Spaces are long and wide with plenty of room. Everyone is very friendly. Very convenient to the local attractions.
Lawrence, Kansas
Jellystone Park at Kansas City
[ 10/10 ]
This is a very nice park. Owners are very friendly and helpful. It is located in Lawrence. Very clean, well kept grounds. We stayed an extra night because it was so pleasant. We would definitely stay again. Access for a big rig was easy and sites were more spacious than most. Recent tree trimming provided shade without any danger of damaging a rig.
Goodland, Kansas
Mid-America Camp Inn
[ 1/10 ]
This was the worst park I have ever stayed in. The owner did not act as if she cared if we were there or not. The park itself in unkempt with large dead tree branches laying around. We had to move them to get into the space we were assigned. The tree branches and trees were in the way for us to get out of the park so we had to move picnic tables to pull through other empty sites to get our rig out. The only reason we stayed here was because of a very late spring snow storm. It was very cold so we needed electricity to run the furnace all night. They did have a couple of 50 amp sites. Lots of weeds and goat heads to walk on. Access is not easy. Park is very run down.
Lake City, Colorado
Elkhorn RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is a very nice park with grassy sites and picnic tables at each site. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly. The park showers, bathrooms and laundry are exceptionally clean. Coffee is served daily on the covered deck and baked goods 4 times a week. The atmosphere is friendly with a communal campfire in the evenings where everyone gathers. Tent sites are grassy and shaded. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly come again. They have pull-through spaces and back-in spaces which are easy to get in and out of.
South Fork, Colorado
South Fork Campground
[ 10/10 ]
This is a very nice park with lots of shade and nice river side spaces. It was easy to get into, clean, quiet and the managers were very nice and helpful. It is the only park in the area with lots of shade trees. All the trees were trimmed so there was no danger of overhanging branches damaging our motorhome. I would definitely stay here again.

Is this idolatry?
What about this?
Is this idolatry?
Even this?
Honest question. Is it? O_O
I feel that sometimes (and I'm guilty of this as well) that we place a greater importance over the band than we do our own faith. I can sit there and pound my head to all the Christian metal I can… I can literally go all day… but then… it's getting to a point now where it's just music. Do I actually act on my faith like I should? Do I get into my God and his word?
I have no problem getting into the band. Checking for new albums, downloading new songs, and seeing where they're playing next.
But then… I rarely find myself checking out my God and where he is in my life and the lives of others…
So is this idolatry? Or just poor focus?

Emotional day as trees ripped from Cobram orchard
Victorian Farmers Federation steps in to help local fruit grower.
By Jessica GrimbleToday is a heartbreaking day for Tom Bisogni.
The Cobram orchardist is watching as the property he's worked for 45 years changes from an orchard to bare land.
Mr Bisogni is just one of the many growers who have faced the same heartbreak after SPC Ardmona announced cuts to its fruit intake in April.
Mr Bisogni, a supplier for 45 years, was told his fruit was no longer required — and now he's left with no choice but try to sell up his Campbell Rd property.
He called on the Victorian Farmers Federation to help pull the trees and this morning the Cobram Courier met president Peter Tuohey and local grain grower Bob Watters who volunteered their time, and their machinery, to help.
The process means Mr Bisogni will help to control a biosecurity threat which could affect growers able to continue their businesses.
Full report in next week's Cobram Courier and Country News.

To heighten the crispness of the icy elements featured throughout, The Mission's creative director Rob Trent and his team employed meticulous CG, including an entirely CG shot with ice crystals composited onto a fence, mist and breath for the athletes, and CG snow. Background textural elements, including skylines and trees, were composited in throughout the spot as well as "winterizing" a green field with a CG blanket of snow.
"Sitting there in the 90-degree heat of the Detroit summer and watching the athletes sweat through their two-hour shoot windows, it was fun to imagine the transformation we would achieve in the end," Trent said. "Humid, green grass and sunny, dusk skies would become crusty snowpacks in a cold, moody void. Careful preparation with the DP was taken so that the natural lighting was diffused enough to match the end environment."

Enchanted Vintage Tea Party Wedding | Springhead, Shaftesbury|
Poppaea & James were wed on the 10th July 2010 at the beautiful Springhead a venue with a magical fusion of dramatic landscape - Grade II 18th century mill buildings; spring filled lake; stunning gardens and a grass amphitheatre! The perfect setting for the couple's enchanted wedding.
Springhead is a special place for Poppaea and James and holds many happy memories, it is therefore no surprise that it was here that James proposed to Poppaea. There are several springs at the far end of the lake at Springhead, crossed by a wooden bridge and overshadowed by great and ancient trees. It is said that if you taste the waters you will be sure to return!
Poppaea and James are both creatives, Poppaea Bicknell is a talented costume designer and James Webber is an up and coming film-maker, needless to say their wedding was beautifully decorated and choreographed to perfection! Poppaea made her own vintage inspired wedding dress and headpiece, which looked truly stunning and deserve their own feature. Poppaea's vintage inspired hair accessories were made by Magpie Vintage in collaboration with Poppaea Bicknell and her necklace was custom made by Magpie Vintage . The bride's shoes matched her outfit beautifully; the jewel covered shoes were made by Emmy Shoes with shoe clips by Magpie Vintage.
Poppaea Bicknell also worked closely with Bonzie Designs, who made her bolero. To see Poppaea'a bridal shoot including all these details please click here.
The wedding day was filled with many hand made details and vintage relics. The wedding party arrived in a vintage Austin, from Austin-Beauford Wedding Cars and made their way to the The Drawing Room, where the wedding ceremony took place.
The Bride and Groom then led their guests through the lakeside gardens to the Rotunda, where guests were seated on the grass amphitheatre to listen to Music, by the Paradise Quartet and Readings.
'Zebras' by Kieran Knowles, 'Name' from Rapture by Carol Ann Duffy, 'Love song of the Ents' from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
'The Swan' from The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns, 'Final Duet and Sinfonia' from The Coronation of Poppaea by Claudio Monteverdi
The wedding party then walked to the springs, set in woodland, where friends and family made a toast to the Bride and Groom with fresh spring water.
Drinks and Canapés were then served on the lawn, followed by dinner and Speeches in The Mail Room. The Reception was beautifully decorated with vintage birdcages, candles and pink and purple floral displays by Country Wedding Flowers. Poppaea had made table names featuring all of the families cats, and being a huge cat fan myself I especially liked these!
The Tea Party then began! Chocolate cake was served on vintage saucers and Tea and Coffee was served in vintage tea cups. The pastel coloured chocolate cake was made by Poppaea's best friend, Olivia Zampi of Couture Confections.
As the sun set, the garden was illuminated with lanterns & candles and became even more enchanted. We followed guests as they took a midnight stroll-it was really quite magical!
Photographs with thanks and congratulations to Mr & Mrs Webber!

American Majority Action CEO Ned Ryun on the pork in the Sandy Aid Bill.

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- together that Ryan -- wonder why emergency bill would be filled with pork in the first place an -- that's on the I don't always sounds -- are -- denying us.
You you would be more expensive that is any -- as they -- who votes for this knowing full well that a good sound of it isn't gonna get to the people who need.
No absolutely and I mean this is there's as part of the problem with Washington -- You take these bills and they've they've they realize that these bills.
You know public perception they need to get past you know people want to see this past -- and when the public messaging on this.
Why don't we add on all all a little pork all -- little candy for our districts.
And earlier in the day as the sixty billion dollars -- -- stood about 80% of that was pork only about 21% of it was actually going to the victims of the of sandy.
And the amazing thing is to Neil that the -- this an emergency bill.
As -- currently stood only about 15% of that money was going to be distributed and point thirteen so much for emergency.
But as you said it looks like there's going to be split the two votes now.
One on Friday -- nine billion and another one on the fifteenth 451 billion.
And as my sincere hope.
That that nine billion will be directly for the sandy those affected by sandy.
And all the poor -- been cut output that 51 billion dollar bill the vote for the fifteenth and I hope they passed the one on Friday I don't know -- Don't -- I had I don't wanna be jaded here netted you're much more open this up and all everybody but.
I do know a little bit about history of relief measures -- comes to mind.
Even when it comes to relief projects for Haiti.
A look at all we raised in telethon and music bonds for that I mean and I was personally and -- and its -- -- still.
-- of my only point here is that.
You know we we we try to talk a good gain.
On this stuff -- doing what's right but we don't realize that by signing a blank check we're doing everything wrong.
Well if it would be my hope.
That obviously is not going to be one big long chunk of change.
On that there'll be obviously some stricter oversight.
Even with the nine billion obviously -- much smaller sum bond in the original sixty.
Much stricter oversight and it's my hope that eventually -- -- offsets for the spending after the nine billion spent will find nine billion the caught within the day.
The end of the -- the problem in DC it is not raising more revenue.
It spending and we've got to figure this out with a whole debate on fiscal cliff.
You know it's disappointing to -- is the debate is not revolving around how we actually gonna cut some of our government spending and.
Will have a out of Israel has cerebral.
That's -- in -- -- on me because it's wanted to get out buddy.
But -- to demand accountability a -- to offset it was real responsibility that doesn't happen what in the middle all of this we get Chuck Schumer weighing in.
On what should be done about it.
I heard -- IC safe today that the bill didn't move in the house -- it was filled with pork.
I'd like -- price to CI RI with the homeowner who has lost their home and their life.
And tell that homeowner to his face that that's pork.
I would have no problem telling a homeowner you're not getting a lot because someone else except actually -- -- I don't know issue.
I have no issue that I'd say you know and by the way only 15% funding was gonna come to -- point thirteen anyway -- So my hope -- and again not knowing all the details about the vote on Friday.
My hope was that you know the nine billion would be for the -- victims that it would actually be accelerated to be eaten most of it would be -- -- -- third.
If it's an emergency bill -- standpoint thirteen.
And we have an -- really hard look at the other 15 -- at a 51 billion.
And I suspect.
Most of that 51 billion will be pork that is unnecessary you know 150 million for Alaskan fisheries you know we're -- this -- on -- things are mentioning.
Let's take a public we really need to spend money on those things right now on and now let's say no we do not yet strip.
-- all out of that make it up or down vote on on the measure right because ultimately the folks who really needed.
Need the money directly to them and not the -- routes to Alaskan fisheries and rooftops and in Washington.
And and they need it now you know let's be -- they they need it now.
You know let's not push off most suspending till -- at fourteen and beyond let's let's let's make sure most that money is spent -- -- would result on what he's actually -- responds actually.
That exact very very much very well put.
Thanks -- meanwhile --

GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- Researchers say coyotes were the number one predator for deer in parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula during a recent study and bobcats were number two on the list.
The Grand Rapids Press reports Monday that wolves came in fourth after a three-way tie among hunters, unknown predators and undetermined causes.
Jerry Belant is an associate professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management at Mississippi State University. He oversees student researchers working with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to study deer deaths. Researchers got data from 142 fawns fitted with GPS collars. Eighty collared fawns died during the three-year first phase of the study.
The study focused on a region known for "low snow" depths. The next two phases of the deer mortality study look at areas with deeper snow.

★By Miles Kington (Hodder Headline 343pp £16.99)
T RUTHANDMEMORY have a shifting relationship. At a talk about Duff Cooper's diaries, I asked John Julius Norwich if there was any truth in a Clive James poem about his mother. It asserted, among other things, that Diana Cooper had been escorted into Paris by two dozen Spitfires, and that she carried a phial of poison 'Against the day there was nothing left to live for'. 'Absolute rubbish,' he thundered from the stage. And then, 'Oh no, wait, my daughter is waving her hand.' She had left London with an aerial bodyguard; but the poison was a piece of poetic embroidery, his daughter said. How easily a legend springs up; how quickly the world re-edits itself as the real and the not-real weave in and out of each other. Everybody, consciously or not, retells stories to make them better. It is a habit which is particularly apparent in writers, and in none more so than the autobiographer. Miles Kington has, in this rich, convoluted and humorous set of memoirs, taken it a step further. Even the title is unreliable. It is not, as one of Kington's neighbours suggested, a plea for friendship. It refers to the subject of the book – a person who is not quite Miles Kington, in a family not quite like his own. His family consists of a father who finds the world constantly surprising, a mother who practises dying, a theatrical brother called Ralph and the young, observant Miles. The book begins before Miles is born, and runs in a series of glorious, glowing vignettes until he rattles off to university. There is no real sense of the development of Miles as a person, since he appears, even in the womb, to have the same way of looking at the world as he does when he is grown-up – questioning the absurdity of life and words. But this does not matter, since each chapter is a Saki-like snapshot which is whole in itself. Kington's satirical eye revels in inversion – anthumous ceremonies to celebrate people before they die being a

typical example. He delights in the strangeness of everyday conversation: 'You shouldn't use children as shuttlecocks,' said Father. 'It's not cricket. You shouldn't move the goalposts.' His dialogue is sharp and fast – most of the scenes revolve around arguments between the family members. One of these arguments concerns how to train their dog, Bonnie. Miles believes that dogs should just be taught the basic commands – sit, stay and come. But Ralph, the flamboyant older brother, is all for teaching him tricks. Their father asks them to demonstrate what they have taught Bonnie. Miles's commands go without a hitch. But when Ralph asks Bonnie to come, she sits; she stands up when asked to stay, and comes when asked to sit. 'A total failure!' says the father. 'Not exactly,' says Ralph. 'It's an act of Dadaism ... What I just demonstrated was an obedience which sounded and looked like an act of extreme disobedience.' A wonderful piece of trickery, and there are many more like it.

LITERARY REVIEW Dec 2005 / Jan 2006 HISTORY
By Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin (Allen Lane 677pp £30)
T HECENTREPIECEOF this large volume lies towards the end, and it concerns the biggest blunder made by Moscow, which came towards the end of the existence of the USSR. At Christmas 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. A very small group within the Politburo decided that it was the right thing to do, and pushed it past colleagues who were not enthusiastic but who were compelled to sign up. One Afghan ruler, who had killed his Soviet-client predecessor, was himself killed, and another Soviet client was moved in. This solved nothing: on the contrary, the country went to rack and ruin, maybe half of the population either being killed or fleeing to Pakistan. The USSR then faced a ten-year guerrilla war, which it could not win and could also not abandon. This was surely the biggest ever failure of foreign intelligence on the part of a supposed superpower, and it reinforced the general demoralisation that attended the last decades of the existence of the USSR. How on earth did the Soviet machinery of foreign intelligence fail on this scale? The Mitrokhin archive is a large collection of documents that appeared providentially in England in 1992. The author, Vasili Mitrokhin, was one of those determined eccentrics whom Russia produces: a KGB man who had somehow been sidelined into managing collections of documents, and who copied some of them for future use. The Soviet system was like that: people might become 'unpersons' and be supposed to disappear, even from the official record; but someone, somewhere, would be preserving the documents in the expectation that they would again be needed. Mitrokhin claimed, as he approached the British in 1992 for 'exfiltration' (ie escape from Russia), that he had a considerable archive of KGB documents bearing on the Cold War, and the British looked after him until his recent death. He was steered by the best-known British expert on intelligence: Christopher Andrew, with whom these volumes were written. This second book concerns what might be loosely called 'the Third World'. In the Seventies, as the Americans licked their wounds from Vietnam and Watergate, and as Britain herself slid into powerlessness, Moscow developed enormous ambitions. Khrushchev, in the Fifties, had expected that 'the contradictions of
capitalism' would finish off the West, and when oil prices octupled in the Seventies that expectation did not look stupid. Sir James Goldsmith, for instance, bought a huge estate on the Pacific coast of Mexico, supposing that Western civilisation would go under, in a welter of ecological disaster, political soft-headedness (with Jimmy Carter in the White House) and perhaps also Aids. The Soviet response was to construct an enormous oceangoing fleet – an enterprise that might make you reflect that crashing empires always build utterly unnecessary ships, in the manner of the Kaiser's Germany or Ottoman Turkey. That fleet was meant to create a Soviet empire in Africa, and as this book catalogues, the KGB sent its emissaries all over 'the dark continent'. In the later Fifties and Sixties, newly decolonised African states, some with enormous mineral resources, were led by megalomaniacs who thought that they could 'industrialise' just as the USSR was held to have done. Maybe this was the worst lie ever peddled by Soviet Moscow: that Stalin had taken a backward, illiterate and peasant country, and, within a generation, turned it into a superpower, defeating Nazi Germany and sending people into space. Russia in 1914 had been among the most go-ahead places in the world, and Communism lived parasitically off that, as it lived parasitically off everything else. However, in the Sixties, various Third World rulers thought that they, too, could have planning and one-party states, and make industrial miracles; Western development economists aided and abetted. The result was a plethora of Nassers and Nkrumahs and National Liberation Fronts, providing a field-day for the KGB. It is something of a miracle that India did not entirely go under in this period: she cooperated all over the place with the USSR, but at least domestic voting went on, and neither Nehru nor his daughter, Indira Gandhi, ever went in for the oneparty illusion. The Mitrokhin archive has some interesting details as to KGB involvement in these matters. Anyone sensible knew by 1968 at the latest that Communism was an utter failure, but here was a wonderful world opening up for cynical careerists. Soviet expansionism offered a good opportunity for Russians, living in a world of blunt razors and leaking ballpoints, to go to places where you could get Western goods – that was even true of Kabul – and at the same time pass yourself off as a Soviet patriot. The pabulum of this book consists of the reports of these agents (all men), solemnly handing over a few thousand dollars to this or that Third World jumper up and down – in Angola, Nicaragua, even poor little Grenada in the Caribbean. There is a considerable flavour of hidden black humour about the book, but you are struck all along by forebodings of what is to come, namely, the disaster of Afghanistan. That country had been, in the words of Vladimir Bukovsky (whose

And doubt that requires all your mail to go to the postal annex essentially.
The only part that could still be the carrier she -- usually pretty good shape there that's one of your bachelor's action.
You also say to drop your mail off at the post office what do you mean by that.
So any outgoing mail take it right to the post up as opposed to putting it in your mailbox at the flag up -- got means bad guys can come and get it.
Okay and packages to -- course and we leave -- publisher actually.
A lot of people printing at home so that that works for both envelopes and packages.
You say -- you're required to get that signature required people ignore that -- they're too lazy with that they don't wanna make sure that they're there but really really important to do.
This is balancing convenience with security essentially no signature -- they can drop right out the door.
Right -- your mailbox whereas signature required if you're not home.
You've got to go right -- the post office and get it that really is the best kept right there is it is on his signatures required then they have to give it to human being.
Utilize the -- deluxe security checks I don't know what those are.
