MORMON MARRIAGE. THE Mormon paper, The Seer, gives the following account of the formalities observed when a Saint espouses supplementary wives, after he already has one of those companions. In this Church of Latter Day Saints every man is strictly limited to one wife, unless the Lord, through the President and Prophet of the Church gives a revelation permitting him to take more. Without such a revelation it would be sinful, according to the Book of Mormon, which this church are required to obey. Hence, the Book of Mormon is somewhat more strict than the bible, for there is nothing in the bible that limits mankind to one wife, but the Book of Mormon does absolutely forbid a man to have more than one wife, unless God shall command oth-erwise. No man in Utah, who already has a wife, and who may desire to obtain another has any right to make any propositions of marriage to a lady until he has consulted the President over the whole Church, and through him obtains a revelation from God, as to whether it would be pleasing in his sight. If he is forbidden by revelation, that ends the matter; if, by revelation, the privilege is granted, he still has no right to consult the feelings of a young lady until he has obtained the approbation of her parents, provid-ed they are living in Utah; if their consent cannot be obtained, that ends the matter. But if the pa-rents or guardians freely give their consent, then he may make propositions of marriage to the young lady; if she refuses these propositions, this ends the matter; but if she accept, a day is generally set apart by the parties for the marriage ceremony to be celebrated. It is necessary to state that, before any man take the least step toward getting another wife, it his duty to consult the feelings of the wife which he already has, and obtain her consent, as recorded in the twenty-fourth paragraph of the reve-lation published in the first number of The Seer. When the day set apart for the solemnization of the marriage ceremony has arrived, the bridegroom and his wife, and also the bride, together with their relatives, and such other guests as may be invited, assemble at the the place which they have appoint-ed. The Scribe then proceeds to take the names, ages, native towns, countries, states and counties of the parties to be married, which he carefully enters on record. The President, who is the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator over the whole Church throughout the world, and who alone holds the key of authority in this solemn audience, (as recorded in the 2nd and 5th paragraphs of Revelation on Marriage,) calls upon the bridegroom and his wife, and the bride to arise, which they do, fronting the President. The wife stands on the left hand of her husband, while the bride stands on her left. The President then puts this question to the wife: "Are you willing to give this woman to your hus-band to be his lawful and wedded wife? If you are, you will manifest it by placing her right hand with-in the hand of your husband." The right hands of the bridegroom and bride being thus joined, the wife takes her husband by the left arm, as if in the act of walking. The President then proceeds to ask the following questions of the man: "Do you, brother, (calling him by name) take sister (calling her by name) by the right hand, to receive her unto yourself to be your lawful and wedded wife, and you to be her lawful and wedded husband, for time and for all eternity, with a cove-nant and promise, on your part, that you will fulfil all the laws, rites and ordinances pertaining to his holy matrimony, and in the new and everlasting covenant, doing this in the presence of God, angels, and these witnesses, of your own free will and choice?" The bridegroom answers, yes. The President then puts the question to the bride: "Do you sister, (calling her by name) take broth-er (calling him by name,) by the right hand, and give yourself to him to be his lawful and his wedded wife for time and eternity, with a covenant and promise, on your part, that you will fulfil all the laws, rites and ordinances pertaining to this holy matrimony, in this new and everlasting covenant, doing this in the presence of God, angels and those witnesses, of your own free will and choice?" The bride answers, yes. The President then says, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the authority of the holy priesthood, I pronounce you legally and lawfully husband and wife for time and for eternity; and I seal upon you the blessings of the holy resurrection, clothed with glory, immortality and eternal lives; and I seal upon you the blessings of thrones, and dominions, and principalities, and powers, and exaltations, together with the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and say unto you, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, that you may have joy and rejoicing in your prosperity in this day of Lord Jesus. All these blessings, to-gether with all other blessings, pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, I seal upon your heads, through your faithfulness unto the end; by the au-thority of the Holy Priesthood, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen." The Scribe then enters on the general record the date and place of the marriage, together with the names of two or three witnesses who were present.

Channel Bass Inn
Table Of Contents
Originally built as a private home in 1892, The Channel Bass became an Inn in the 1920s. Today this Chincoteague landmark has seven beautifully furnished, air-conditioned guest rooms, including one suite, each with private bathroom.
Channel Bass Inn Bed and Breakfast & Tea Room was featured in
Southern Living Magazine and The Washington Post
The Channel Bass Inn has been awarded a 3-star rating by MobilAmid gorgeous perennial gardens, the Channel Bass Inn offers the Island visitor peaceful, beautifully furnished accommodations. When the weather is cool, a pellet stove burns brightly in the main fireplace – a cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine with other guests. There's a TV in the sitting room, if you want to keep up with the outside world. Otherwise, choose a book from our ample selection – if you don't get to finish it, there's a good chance we'll let you take it home with you.
Weather permitting, breakfast and afternoon tea are served on a side porch overlooking the Japanese gardens and the pond. The trickle of the fountain provides a soothing background sound – the occasional splash is the ducks jumping in for their refreshing morning dip!
Our resident backyard cats know to keep their distance! For the early risers, our gardens are a wonderfully restful place to sit and enjoy a first cup of coffee and observe the interplay of our local wildlife. Or perhaps an early morning ride out to Assateague Island would be the thing to do before breakfast -- it's only 2 miles away. If you would like to take your coffee or tea with you, please help yourself to a travel mug from the kitchen.
Over the years, the Channel Bass Inn has welcomed many talented visitors of all ages who have played, sung, and danced for us and our guests. We have moved our piano to the dining room and are encouraging all you wonderfully blessed people to come play for fun at teatime. We would love it, and we know everyone else will too. And, who knows, maybe someone will get a recording contract out of this!! So bring your beautiful voices, your violins, your guitars and even your spoons, and come make music with us! We'll call it a "Scones and Jam Session"!!
All Channel Bass Inn guests are welcome to complimentary bicycles, backpacks, beach towels and beach chairs, beach umbrellas and coolers, binoculars and birdbooks.
All rooms are air conditioned, spacious and quiet with comfortable sitting areas for reading and relaxing – a distant view of nearby Chincoteague Bay can be seen from some of the rooms. A noteworthy feature of the Channel Bass Inn is that no two guestrooms share a common wall. That, together with the exceptional soundproofing, ensures peace, privacy and a good night's rest for all our guests.
All rooms include Channel Bass Inn soaps, conditioning shampoo, shower gel, fluffy bathrobes and towels, triple sheeting on beds, hair dryer, alarm clock, Wi-Fi and lots of books to read. Daily rates are based on double occupancy and include a full breakfast. An iron and ironing board are also available for your use.
Hosts Barbara and David Wiedenheft (from England and Chicago respectively) came to Chincoteague in 1992 to begin new careers as innkeepers. Since then they have established a tradition of scrumptious breakfasts and delicious English afternoon teas featuring Barbara's "world famous" scones - everybody's favorite.
Barbara and David look forward to extending their special brand of hospitality to their guests at the Channel Bass Inn. -
What's For Breakfast? For the caffeine lovers, we always have delicious, fresh coffee available first thing in the morning. We have a coffee machine with a timer, so we can set it to start any time you want! Breakfast is a fine affair at the Channel Bass Inn – we call it a "very full breakfast". There's more good coffee at breakfast, or a good "cuppa" if tea is your preference… (Barbara is from England, remember?) Or perhaps you'd prefer a hot chocolate, with whipped cream maybe?
At the breakfast table you may find a beautiful fresh fruit salad served with a yogurt, sour cream and honey sauce. Or perhaps a warm compote which we serve with granola – a wonderful combination! David has created a fabulous yogurt and fruit parfait, fresh fruits blended together and swirled through a creamy Greek yogurt. There are always two delicious breads, baked by Barbara; perhaps it'll be kuchen, zucchini bread, bran bread, or Barbara's wonderful blueberry muffins. The main course varies each day as well. It could be crab quiche and/or cheese and onion quiche, or world-famous eggs and croissants, or a delicious chile cheese egg bake, or perhaps those marvelous crepe-like blueberry pancakes, with sausages for those who want them. Or enjoy Barbara's new favorite breakfast Mexican Eggs. Our smoked salmon and bagels breakfast is popular too – the salmon is delivered from New York right to our door!
We are very happy to cater to vegetarians, vegans, and guests on a gluten-free diet. Please let us know in advance of any dietary restriction. We have an abundance of good filtered water in the kitchen, and you're welcome to fill up bottles for your day time excursions.
Only farm fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens are used in the preparation of all our egg dishes. They are delivered to our door by Seaside Farm in Atlantic, VA.
"You create a wonderful atmosphere. Breakfast and tea were beyond compare - delicious! The big room was perfect. Thank you." - Maureen, David, Ben and William -
What's For Tea? Afternoon tea is usually a four-course affair. The first course is something savoury, perhaps tea sandwiches or cheese scones. The "world-famous" scones come next, with butter, jam and cream of course. Guests are able to sample several different kinds, the ginger scone being the most popular at the moment. The third course may be the decadent chocolate trifle, or butterscotch pecan tart, or Apfelkuchen (German apple cake) or pound cake with blueberries, strawberries and cream. For those hearty eaters, Barbara offers an additional tidbit – a jam tart, a macaroon, a butter "biscuit" (cookie), or maybe even a stuffed monkey!
The Tea Room at the Channel Bass Inn, which was opened in 1995 by innkeepers Barbara and David Wiedenheft, has become very popular with Island visitors. The Tea Room not only offers afternoon tea to Channel Bass Inn guests, but gives all visitors to Chincoteague the opportunity to sample a taste of England.
Afternoon tea is served on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - usually starting at 3:30 p.m. The price per person is $23. Tea Room reservations are required. Please call Barbara at 757-336-6148 for availability.
Channel Bass Inn guests are offered afternoon tea at a special rate of $12 per person. Breakfast is also available to Island visitors who are not staying at the Channel Bass Inn. Please let us know the day before if you would like to join us.
For larger parties, such as bridal and baby showers, the Tea Room may be available Wednesdays and Sundays. Please call Barbara at 757-336-6148 for more information.
P.S. You may have noticed in our description of our Tea Room that there is no mention made of "High Tea". As a Brit, I have to tell you that in the United Kingdom a high tea is a "working man's supper" which would be served to the whole family at 5.30 or thereabouts when the master of the house came home from work. It would consist of endless pots of tea, a loaf of fresh bread, butter, cheese maybe, cake of some description, and would include something hearty such as pork pie and chips (french fries), or maybe steak and kidney pudding. This certainly bears no resemblance to the "high teas" served in the posh hotels over here. In the UK it would be unlikely to drink alcohol at that meal - the men would go to the pub down the street for their pint of ale. No champagne or sherry, that's for sure. And when the pubs close, it would be traditional to pick up a late night supper from the fish and chip shop on the way home! ~ Barbara
"Our time at your inn was wonderful! We'll rave about the beautiful atmosphere, breakfast and tea until we can visit again. You were so welcoming, we felt like family. Take good care and many, many thanks!" - Laticia and Naeem, Arlington, VA -
"We had a lovely time at the Channel Bass and enjoyed and appreciated everything -- including, but not limited to, the warm welcome, David's hand-drawn map, the beautiful spacious room, the super comfortable bed, the great shower, the truly delicious, creative and healthy breakfasts, the roses, the ducks, the cats, even the mosquito repellent you so kindly lent us. And let us not forget the best scones ever. Thanks so much. We will recommend the Inn heartily to anyone we know heading to the eastern shore." ~ Elizabeth and Rick, Arlington, VA
"David and Barbara bring new meaning to the word "hospitable". We visited the Channel Bass Inn for our honeymoon, and were so pleased to find the cozy and restful environment we were looking for after the craziness of the wedding. The room was beautiful, the price was right, and the food was out of this world! We could not have asked for more. We're already planning our next trip back next year for our 1st anniversary." ~ Renee and Dan, Virginia Beach, VA
"Barbara, I had a wonderful time during the 3 days spent with friends during the day and at your inn in the morning and night...I so enjoyed the time spent with you, David and your guests in a very international atmosphere which is the kind I always enjoy! You and David are such wonderful hosts and truly make us feel totally at home. I thank you for all the early coffees and treats which made my early awakening so delightful and for the scrumptious breakfast - trademark of your inn. I look forward to seeing you in November. A big hug and plenty of "bisous" to you and David... " ~ Madeleine
"Thank you for making my trip to Chincoteague Island, one of my very favorite vacations. From the big hugs my mother and I got upon checking in, I knew we were about to have a wonderful time. The room was beautiful and so comfortable that it felt as if we were staying at a cherished relatives home. The breakfasts were amazing, we never needed lunch because we were stuffed for hours after we enjoyed your delicious cuisine. The Tea we attended was simply the finest one I have ever had the pleasure of sitting down to. We enjoyed talking to you and David very much and we were also stunned by how sweet all the other guests were. It was my first B&B experience and from speaking to friends after I returned, I now realize how exceptional our experience was. I will be back next summer for sure! Thank you again for being such wonderful innkeepers, I cannot express how pleased I am with your wonderful establishment. " ~ Katie Black, Wall NJ

The native Indians called our island Gingo-teague, which means "beautiful land across the water." Historically, Chincoteague has been a fishing village, widely known for the salty taste of the oysters from nearby bays. Commercial fishing boats still off-load their catch on Chincoteague.
Nearby Assateague Island provides a natural backdrop for your stay on Chincoteague. Uninhabited now, it has become a National Wildlife Refuge and National Seashore. The Refuge, a favorite destination for birders, includes areas of sandy dunes, marshlands and wooded areas. The Seashore provides long sandy stretches for walking, sunning, swimming, and shell-gathering. The wild horses, made famous by Marguerite Henry's children's classic Misty of Chincoteague, roam contentedly on Assateague Island.
There is much to do and see on the islands of Chincoteague and nearby Assateague...
- Walking, bicycling, kayaking and canoeing are favorite activities.
- For a faster pace, jet skis and motorboats are available, and young people will enjoy playing miniature golf or bouncing in the bumper boats.
- There are sightseeing tours on both land and water, and fishing boats are available for charter.
- After a day on the water one can browse for antiques and gifts or enjoy a meal at one of Chincoteague's fine restaurants.

Searles Castle, Estate of the Day
I'm taking another look at this one because when I first wrote about it last May there were no inside pictures for the listing. Searles Castle in Great Barrington, Massachusetts has 40 rooms and seven turrets. The home, which has most recently served as a private school is now up for sale for $15 million. The castle, which is on 61 acres, has a fascinating history, it is one of two in the New England region (the other is in New Hampshire) that bear the name of Edward Searles. Mary Hopkins, the widow of railroad tycoon Mark Hopkins commissioned the castle which was built in 1888. She hired interior decorator Edward Searles for the project, and they married a year before it was finished (she was 22 years older than he). After she died he stayed in the castle for a time and then after his death it has been a private private school, conference center among other businesses and was most recently the John Dewey Academy. The castle has 36 fireplaces, a dungeon, and more than 50 rooms for a total of around 60,000 square feet. The finishes here are amazing imported marble, accentuated fireplaces, carved wood ceilings, a Louis XIV drawing room with details in gold and original painted ceiling, music room with 42-ft dome ceiling, a slate roof, hipped and conical roofs accentuated by finials, chimneys, gablets and turrets. It's been sitting on the market since last May for $15 million.

The clever fixed and tracker mortgages that break the mould
Whether you're after a fixed or tracker mortgage, these innovative homeloans may be the answer.
Mortgage lenders certainly have a hard job at the moment. On the one hand they have been told to lend responsibly, improve their balance sheets and, whatever they do, avoid a repeat of the credit crunch.
But they are also being pulled in the opposite direction – urged to lend more to those who want to get onto the housing ladder, including high-risk borrowers with small deposits, to help boost growth and get the housing market moving.
It's pretty difficult to achieve both, especially when they are not exactly awash with cheap funds to lend out.
Hopefully the Government's Funding for Lending Scheme, which will make £80 billion available to lenders, can ease some of the funding problems, and possibly lead to cheaper rates for borrowers. But there are no guarantees.
In the midst of all this, is it possible for lenders to find time to innovate when it comes to product design? Does the desire to come up with exciting new products fall by the wayside when times are tough, or is the opposite true? Is creativity actually ignited by the need to come up with ever more ingenious ways of enabling borrowers onto the ladder in a way that minimises the lending risk?
Innovation for first-timers
In fact, the credit crunch has spawned a good deal of new and innovative product types, mainly borne out of the fact that first-time buyers – the engine of the housing market – simply can't buy in any great number while mortgages for those with a small deposit remain limited and expensive.
Instead, we have seen a raft of products launched that allow either parents, friends, the Government or even homebuilders to help buyers get that first foothold onto the ladder.
Guarantor mortgages are one way that lenders have tried to help first-time buyers without taking on more risk themselves. There are a couple of variants.
With the Lloyds TSB Lend a Hand mortgage, the parents put down some savings as security against the loan, the buyer puts down a small deposit and the lender provides the remainder. The deal enables the buyer to borrow 95% of the property's value at a decent rate of interest, and the lender lowers its own risk with the parent's savings.
There is also a Local Authority-backed version of Lend a Hand where the council indemnifies 20% of the property's value rather than a parent's guarantee – a scheme which a dozen or so local authorities have already signed up to.
The other guarantor method is that a parent simply signs up to a mortgage, and uses their own property as security or agrees to cover the payments from their income if their child defaults.
Guarantor mortgages are offered by a range of lenders, including one deal from Aldermore Mortgages where buyers can access up to 100% of the property's value.
The borrower gets on the ladder without a deposit and the lender's risk is reduced by the parental guarantee, which can be for a maximum of 25% of the property's value, using their own property as collateral. However, the borrower's monthly repayment must still be affordable on their own income, and the rate is a not-too-cheap 5.98% for a two-year fix. But what do you expect for a 100% mortgage?
Added to lender innovations are the Government's HomeBuy Schemes, which include FirstBuy and NewBuy, and enable those without a substantial deposit to get onto the housing ladder.
Just how successful these schemes have been though is open to debate. Find out more in Why the NewBuy scheme isn't working.
'Best of both worlds' products
A new breed of products has been launched to account for borrowers' indecision about what sort of rate to go for. Many borrowers are unwilling to pay a premium for a fixed rate now, but they are aware that rates are only heading in one direction – upwards.
Some lenders offer a droplock facility (also called Switch and Fix) on their mortgage range. So if you take out a tracker rate you are free to remortgage to any of that lender's fixed rate products at any point, without paying early repayment charges (although a new arrangement fee may apply).
This means you can benefit from low monthly repayments now with the option of fleeing to a fixed rate should rates begin to rise above your comfort zone. Of course, there is no guarantee as to what fixed rates your lender will have available in the future, but it does give you some flexibility.
Accord Mortgages offers a five-year hybrid that starts as a two-year tracker at base rate plus 2.75% (so currently a rate of 3.25%). In two years it automatically changes to a three-year fixed rate priced at 4.19%.
Long-term options
Lenders have recently come up with some cracking long-term fixed rates for those who choose security over immediate savings.
Last week's launch of Skipton's seven- and ten-year fixed rates, starting at 3.99% and 4.49%, showed just how competitive this market has become, as explained in my piece Why fixed rates are always in fashion. And this week HSBC has blown everyone out of the water with its simply stonking five-year fix at 2.99%.
One clever idea from Chelsea Building Society is the 'choose your fixed term' mortgage. The rates and fees are set according to your deposit amount and borrowers can choose whether to fix for five, six or seven years – whatever best suits your needs.
The specialists
It's not just the mainstream market that is innovative; indeed the specialist lending arena has long been considered a hotbed of product creativity. After all, the mortgages are designed to fit particular niches that the high street lenders may not cater for.
In the last few weeks we have seen buy-to-let mortgages launched for those with just 15% upfront, as well as deals for landlords with a history of 'minor' credit problems. The short-term lending market is also booming with bridging providers coming up with new products on a weekly basis.

Finally, we tend to only give the initial rate of a deal in our articles, but any deal which lasts for a shorter period than your mortgage term may revert to the lender's standard variable rate or a tracker rate when the deal ends.

Make sure you take all this information into account when comparing different deals.
Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

The right to sell your own stuff is in peril....
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Tucked into the U.S. Supreme Court's agenda this fall is a little-known case that could upend your ability to resell everything from your grandmother's antique furniture to your iPhone 4.
At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products. Enlarge Image A Supreme Court case could limit the resale of goods made overseas but sold in America. Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court has recognized since 1908, you can resell your stuff without worry because the copyright holder only had control over the first sale. Put simply, though Apple Inc. AAPL -1.74% has the copyright on the iPhone and Mark Owen has it on the book "No Easy Day," you can still sell your copies to whomever you please whenever you want without retribution. That's being challenged now for products that are made abroad, and if the Supreme Court upholds an appellate court ruling, it would mean that the copyright holders of anything you own that has been made in China, Japan or Europe, for example, would have to give you permission to sell it.

THE FDA wants to stick it nose into the online sales of premium/traditional cigars. The Fed Bastards want to ruin everything. As noted on the Cigar Rights of America site, "H.R. 1639 has been filed in the U.S. House of Representatives; and a companion bill, Senate Bill 1461, has been filed in the Senate. Both are filed under the banner of the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act. This bi-partisan legislation would decree that premium/traditional cigars should be off limits to FDA regulation and, 'to clarify the Food & Drug Administration's jurisdiction' in the 'sale, manufacturing and distribution of traditional and premium cigars." |

Everyone was asleep when the Supreme court allowed the government to take property for their own development and profit. People back then said it couldn't happen. It's been happening all over the country since 2005.
While people fight among themselves on forums like this the government is passing unbelievable legislation and Americans are losing more and more rights almost by the day. |

Carpenter bees look like typical bumblebees but often lack yellow stripes. They are solitary bees.
Unlike bumble bees, carpenter bees are solitary insects. Female carpenter bees will chew a tunnel into a piece of wood to build a nest gallery. The bits of wood she chews and deposits outside the nest are called frass. The male carpenter bee guards the outside of the nest. He does not have a stinger, but his constant buzzing causes concern for some.
Carpenter bees bore through soft woods to lay eggs and protect their larvae as they develop.
Carpenter bees do not pose a public health threat, but they can damage wood through their nest building.

My Pups: Lupe and Oscar
"I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry and unhappy like we do. I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings." - Cesar Chavez
Sue, my mother-in-law, always says, "a house is not a home without a pet" and I agree with her 100%. I love animals dearly and have a profound respect for them. My two personality filled babies have brought me many laughs and much love over the years.
From the time I was a little girl I've always wanted a dog but my mom never let us have one because she knew she'd be the one taking care of it : ) She was smart to do that but as soon as I was able to have my own pet, I got my friend Lupe, a spunky and defiant little Chihuahua from NY (I got her while I was still working as a host on MTV). Shortly after I moved to Los Angeles and we decided that Lupe needed a friend to play with so we got our second Chihuahua, Oscar.
The two could not be any more different. Lupe's nickname is "The Devil Dog" because she loves to bug Oscar to the point where he'll actually yell at her, has doggy ADHD, and is often a flat out meanie to friends! Oscar, on the other hand, is more like a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a delicate flower and loves everyone which is why I call him my "Love bug". He just wants to snuggle by our heads, treats, and belly rubs all day long.
Although, I love my doggies dearly I will say that I NEVER would have gotten them had I known then what I know now about the overpopulation of animals in shelters. There are so many wonderful furry friends that need good homes and I wish I was more educated on the issue back then.
I can say without a doubt that I will always adopt my pets from now on and encourage you to do the same. I really feel like it's the most responsible thing to do. Although, I purchased my pups from the sweetest responsible breeders (one of which interviewed me for about 4 hrs total to make sure I was a fit doggy-mom), there are hundreds of puppy mills in the US where the animals are treated as livestock and live in terrible conditions. They are abused and certainly don't deserve that kind of life so please join me in never purchasing an animal from pet store.
I don't even shop at pet stores that sell animals because I don't want to support them or puppy mills. Our voices can be heard via our wallets, guys!
My mom rescued Luna from LA Animal Services a year and a half ago when she was visiting me and now Luna is living in the lap of doggie luxury in Massachusetts and she brings a lot of joy and love to my mom. Luna's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever come across and is a great companion to my family.
And just in case you're wondering...yes, my dogs eat all organic and mostly a raw diet and they love it. I'll write about that later : )
Alright so here is the piece de resistance, LOL! Warning though, the music I chose for the first half of the video has some "graphic" language so beware if there are some kiddo's around...Enjoy!
Yeah my husband thinks I'm a nut for making this video but I quote one of my favorite filmakers, Nora Ephron, when she said "you enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets." BAH! What can I say?! I love my dogs and had way too much time on my hands a couple of afternoons last summer while on the road shooting School Pride. My thanks to our makeup artist, Kindra Mann-Weber, for teaching me how to use iMovie! You're the best Kindra!
Till Next Time...give your pets a smooch from me : )

Wouldn't the ideal be to stack? You have a test base and a PH to nandrolone, seems to me like the best results would be together.
If my direct and cynical approach bothers you, just ignore it. I'm just saying what you need to hear ;).

On Twitter? Build for these protests using the hashtag #Oct6 and #USout
Unable to join us in the streets? You can still send a message to DC!
and hold it for you in Freedom Plaza.
Ten years. Ten long years of invasions and occupations, drone bombings and night raids; of torture chambers, "enhanced interrogation techniques" and indefinite imprisonment without trial. Ten years, and the number of dead is over a million. Ten years, and more than four million people made refugees. (More on WHY these protests must be as powerful as possible).
Several thousand people have signed up to be at Freedom Square in Washington DC on Thursday October 6. This day was chosen because it's the precise 10 year anniversary of Bush's invasion of Afghanistan and the launching of the whole "Global War on Terror" which has resulted in over a million deaths in Iraq, untold thousands of deaths in Afghanistan and Pakistan, millions displaced from their homes, and institutionalized torture. We will never be at peace with being at war and pledge to the world these crimes will be stopped.
October 6 is a "work" day, and a day we can expect maximum coverage of the war. Join World Can't Wait there! On the October2011.org website:
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza to demand that America's resources be invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning."

Mother Nature may be making it difficult to start thinking of spring sports, but we are closer to the start of spring sports than the recent weather may suggest. Here is some information regarding spring sports that you may find helpful.
Spring athletes may turn in forms and pay fees at any time. Forms are available in the high school office or online. Fees may be paid online or in person in the Activities or Business offices. All forms and fees must be paid before the first day of practice.
It may seem early to start talking about winter sports, but the reality is that the winter sports season opens soon with the first day of dance practice Oct. 22. There are several changes for the upcoming winter season that I would like to make you aware of.
New office location
The Activities Office is now located in the new high school office, which is located near door No. 1. This is also known as the main entrance or the one by the flag pole. Simply enter the building, and the Activities Office is located to the left.

Nice and huge, Close Cheap parking for downtown lot of other places are Close, nokia plaza, staple center, LA LIVE ect. Good good very good.
I was recently at the California Gift Show for the bi-annual display of wholesale gift items for the trade. As usual, it only took up a portion of the South Hall and below it, Kentia Hall. It was difficult to get parking directly adjacent to the halls themselves. There is a huge parking structure across the street and part of... More
Huge, but well laid out. I liked that fact that it is easy to move around and find where you're supposed to be.
I came to the convention center for the Idea World Fitness Convention 2013. I had read some reviews that had me concerned that the parking was going to be difficult and upwards of $20/25 a day, that the staff weren't going to be friendly, and that food was going to be nothing but long lines for limited unhealthy items, such... More
Easy to get to, (parking $$$ way too much) and many times the entrance fees are also $$$ too much, but always an awesome venue with a whole lot of stuff!! Such a large area, and always well organized, clean, and nicely done.
Nice Starbucks on the inside of Convention center. Too many transients begging outside the center was annoying.
The convention center was nice and clean, big and Im not sure if it was catered by the center or by someone else but it was DELICIOUS. In Downtown of LA next to the Staples center, near the espn bar, and a bunch of other eateries (including one by Wolfgang Puck) Nice location and the area is not too busy.
This was an excellent venue for the Choice Hotels Annual Convention! The space is HUGE and very accommodating to such a large group of people. The meeting rooms were great. It was a lot of walking, but that's expected for such a large convention!
I attended the Adobe Conference in May of 2013. The convention center is dated, small, and not very well organized. The food was bland, flavorless and gross. If you attend the Seminar, the make sure to take advantage of the grab and go snack in the morning and the breaks during the morning/afternoon. Convention Center has very large foyers, but... More
What a beautiful convention center. Heating and cooling were right on and the sound was excellent. I did like that the center had some great food options, with a cafeteria and in the heart of the Staples center area there were many restaurants to choose from!

My son and I are very much into this game since the first one came out. What some reviewers thought would be a passing fad type of game has turned into a world-wide phenomenon. We bought this set to add to our already sizable collection of Skylanders. Some parents may think that having multiple figures with different paint jobs is a waste of money, but most of the alternate paint jobs (especially the Legendary series) allow for two players to have the same character and "grow" those characters on different paths.My son and I have beat more levels working together as Jet-Vac and Legendary Jet-Vac than I can remember. We also have upgraded (or "grown") the characters on different ability paths, making the characters unique in the game, not just a different paint job physically.Any parent who wants to spend more time with any child who loves video games can easily build a bond through this game. And alternate versions of the same character helps. Playing as the "same" character often keeps the game-play fun and limits the complaint that one character has an advantage over the other.I cannot recommend these products enough. In fact, when we are at Toys R Us, we look through the Skylanders section together. Not only is it fun to find new items, but we end up recommending items to other shoppers when they ask. I've met more than a dozen other parents that are as into this game as I am.Thank you Toys R Us for putting the investment into this product and making the Legendary series available at your stores.

Skylanders Must-Have
By Val the Giver
from College Station, Tx
About Me Collector, Working Parent
They are very cool, and appear that way in the game. If you only want that character, and are just collecting them, then you may want to settle for the cheaper counterpart. If you want to collect every single type, this is a must-have for the paintjob and fun factor.

Must have for any Skylanders collector
By Skylander Mom
from Davie, FL
About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent
My sons love to collect Skylanders and are constantly on the lookout for every different variant. These Legendary Skylanders have been very hard to find, so I was thrilled to see them in stock at ToysRUs! My boys love that they will be able to use these characters in all of their Skylanders games for the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and their tablets!
Great Find
By Loki's Mommy
from Burnsville, MN
About Me Education Oriented, Parent of autistic kids, Parent of Two or More Children, Stay at Home Parent
These Skylanders are unique because they are part of the limited Legendary set. After searching online and at other stores, we stumbled upon these at Toys R Us. The price (with the sales they had at the time) was less then HALF what they were selling for anywhere else. They are absolutely perfect. There has been no sign of well... any real negatives. They work fine, they look cool, and they are an awesome addition to my son's ever growing collection.

About Me Stay at Home Parent
My son loved getting these characters and he uses them every time he plays the game. I also liked the fact that after looking at prices every where else they were the exact price as the other stores and they had a wide selection on the shelves as other stores are taking them off due to the new release of Swap Force.

The natural response for a 49-year-old mother of three who's hospitalized after allegedly inhaling whip-its and smoking a synthetic herb: mortification, which is apparently what Demi Moore is feeling following her Jan. 23 health drama.
"Ego-wise, this is the worst thing that could happen to Demi, because she's such a private person," an insider explains to People, apparently unaware of the string of highly personal photos (bikini and otherwise) the star has tweeted over the last couple of years. "She's embarrassed."
And understandably so, what with the chaotic 911 call going public and speculation that her oldest daughter, Rumer, was present when she reportedly began experiencing seizures.
According to the mag, Moore is "tortured by insecurities" and started falling apart after she announced her split from Ashton Kutcher, 33, in November after six years of marriage.
Spies claim she was "barely eating and partying wildly" in the run-up to the night she ended up in trouble. At the heart of the problem: Demi's purported need to find a Fountain of Youth.
She "was always fixated on being young," contends a snitch. "And the only thing that tied her to that, as she got older, was her marriage to a younger guy and hanging around young people."
That might explain reports that the actress was partying with Rumer, 23, and flirting with 27-year-old actor Ryan Rottman (or, as one onlooker put it, "She was grinding on his butt") a few weeks before her hospitalization,
"As Demi got older, she convinced herself that she needed to stay young and skinny to remain attractive to her husband," posits an insider. "She needed reassurance all the time that she was hot and sexy."
Demi has apparently been seeking "spiritual counseling" in the wake of the incident, and People says that her long-standing devotion to Kabbalah is helping her cope.
Adversity "can be an opportunity, a blessing, and not a curse," expounds the confidant. "The right intervention happened in her life. From a spiritual sense, it is a gift. She has a real opportunity to grow from it. She has to take responsibility for her life."
Adds a source to the New York Post, "This was a scare. But she's doing very well."
As for Kutcher, he appears to be giving his estranged missus her space.
"He has inquired about her through friends and managers, and the family, and made noises to people around her," the insider tattles to the paper. "But the last time they saw each other was around a week before this [her collapse] happened, and that was because he needed something from the house."

In search of Differentiation
Price, Quality, Service, Design?
Where can companies find a competitive advantage in today's market situation? A number of strategies have had their day in the sun, but as they get bench-marked one by one differentiation becomes increasingly difficult.
Differentiate on Price?
Distribution systems, outsourcing and location can and have all been bench-marked by the three major supermarkets in the UK. The other problem with competing on price is that price can only go so low. Price-wars have been known to happen when a company cuts its prices so low that it looses money, but attracts customers to itself and away from the competition. Profits have to be made and a company can only underbid its competitors for so long.
Differentiate on Quality?
In the 1980s the Japanese started to focus on quality to differentiate their products. This was referred to this as 'Kaizen', when you try to make your product a little bit better than yesterday. As a result Japanese products flooded the European and American markets. Consumers had little problem accepting better products at a lower price. This led to companies focusing on total quality management (TQM), but 'while everything may be better, it is also increasingly the same' (Kunde, 2002).
Differentiate on Service?
What service can you find on 'The World's Favorite Airline' that you can't find on Virgin Atlantic or Singapore Airlines? They all have online booking, lounges, sleeper beds and in-flight entertainment.
Differentiate on Innovation?
So what about innovation? Surely it must be an area where a company can compete? Daniel Muzyka16 (1994), The Dean of Sauder School of Business at University of British Columbia wrote in an article in the Financial Times that 'only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success.' If we look at British Airways who took a financial risk by innovating a sleeper bed for their business class, we can see that it turned out to be a success. Customers where happy to foot the extra cost to compensate for the reduced number of seats. So BA would now seem to have a competitive advantage over their competitors being the only one offering sleeper beds on long haul flights? Afraid not, the reality is that before you could blink all the other major competitors also had their version of the sleeper bed (without the cost of innovation research or the risk of failure). So why innovate if you can benchmark at the speed of light?
So how do we know which one to pick; if all aspects like features, technology, price, service and design are identical? When everyone's basically offering the same product/service; with only the name being different?

Well......if your reading this you've clearly found that the thread really isn't haunted hehe. Well now that I have your attention, I'd like to say thank you for looking at my thread. Currently, I've had a brain wave to do an RP that would be set during the 60s or 70s as the war in Vietnam still rages on. The RP would be set in a small town where a soldier comes home from the war. He soon finds himself as a member of a local motorcycle gang and living life dangerously. You would be playing the role of a woman who once knew the solider, how you knew them is up to you. The RP will follow the relationship between the two and how the soldier not only struggles to do right by the club but also struggling with horrific things he's seen.
The RP will be mature in nature. People will be shot, drugs will be used, alcohol will be consumed, and all manner of debauchery will ensue. If you can't handle that, no hard feelings. If your interested, please feel free to PM me and I will see what we can do. I am open to other RPs, just simply hit me with a PM and we can discuss what kind of RP we can do together.
Till then, cheers!
