We're Here
We're here! Yep, downtown St. Petersburg, just down the road from Tropicana Field.
Four buses, accompanied by a police escort, left Citizens Bank Park late this morning for the airport in Philly. A group of fans, led by Citizens Bank employees, were on hand for the send off. TV cameras were at the park and airport. We were in the air on a Delta charter at 12:30 p.m. and landed just over 2 hours later.
Charlie scheduled a 5:30 workout this evening at Tropicana Field and again Tuesday afternoon. The Rays are also working out both days.
Tomorrow, six buses filled with sponsors and front office employees will be flying here. They will be staying at various Clearwater Beach hotels. Phillies always take their employees to two games of the Series. We also entertain our major sponsors. When the Series shifts to Philly, all our scouts and player development staff will be brought in for the games.
Looking Back
The final best-of-seven season starts on Wednesday. Back on Wednesday, February 20, our players were fitted for new uniforms for the 2008 season before a morning spring training workout in Clearwater. Eight months later, we are starting the World Series at Tropicana Field which is 16.89 miles from Bright House Field. I guess you could say it took us eight months to travel 16 miles.
Phone calls, e-mails, text messages…..nearly everyone with the Phillies is being contacted for World Series tickets. Some are people we haven't heard from in years. Phillies Fever is running a high temperature now and we understand the interest.
It reminds me of a Yogi Berra story. Some 50 years ago, Yogi asked his mother if she wanted World Series tickets. Her response, "Where are the seats." Yogi replied, "Mom, you are facing the field."
WS Note
Came across this on a fan blog….we have played every American League East team in the World Series: Red Sox (1915), Yankees (1950), Orioles (1983), Blue Jays (1993) and now the Rays. Don't ask our record.

"Tomorrow, six buses filled with sponsors and front office employees will be flying here." Wow! When you make it to the World Series, they even give you flying buses.

Complete restrictions on hooking were definitely the most awful.
A research of woman of the streets in San Francisco located:
70% of the woman of the streets in the research study were raped approximately 31 times by their clients and also 65% had actually been defeated approximately 4.3 times (as pointed out in Carrasquillo, 2014
It has actually made the working problems for several uncontrolled and also for that reason unsafe with violent panders and also a constant clients packed with harasses that are not scared of the authorities or the regulation
Hooking functions the exact same method. Yes, some individuals might abuse hooking as well as wind up unfaithful on a companion with a woman of the street that they ought to not be ripping off on. It does not alter the truth that hooking permits a way of revenue for some that or else would certainly deprive as well as have a hard time without it.
They likewise have the capability to blend with each other and also produce hazardous fumes that eliminate individuals. They can likewise be made use of as an approach of self-destruction or eliminate family pets as well as pets that obtain right into them.
A recap from my essay:.
The research study insists that criminal activities linked with hooking exist due to the fact that hooking is prohibited as well as keeps in mind that locations where hooking is legislated have reduced criminal activity prices attached to hooking. The research study says that outlawing hooking intensifies the preconception bordering woman of the streets, making their victimization either unseen at best, or at worst, something they should have (Carasquillo, 2014).
It has actually boosted threat of Sexually Transmitted Disease's and also wellness dangers for the woman of the streets operating in these problems.
A comparable research in Oregon located:
78% of woman of the streets having actually been raped, 48% by panders approximately 16 times a year, as well as 78% by johns 33 times a year (as mentioned in Carrasquillo, 2014).

By Paul Feinberg
LOS ANGELES -- Two groups of students attending the UCLA - National University of Singapore (NUS) Global Executive MBA program arrive in Los Angeles later this month, one seeking to fulfill their final requirements for graduation and attend commencement, the other participating in the second of what will ultimately be six modules of class work.
The UCLA-NUS program allows participants to earn two, world-class MBA degrees, one from UCLA Anderson and the other from the National University of Singapore Business School. The program's singular format comprises six, two-week sessions in a fifteen month span. Students attend the first and fifth sessions in Singapore, the second and sixth in Los Angeles, the third session in Shanghai, and the fourth in Bangalore. The upcoming Los Angeles session, which begins August 16, 2009, is the sixth (and final session) for the Class of 2009 and simultaneously the second session in the program for the Class of 2010.
All told, seventy-one students will participate in the two-week Los Angeles sessions, with 45 of them receiving their diplomas at session end. The seventy-one students represent eighteen countries, including Austria, Brazil, China, Egypt, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States and Taiwan.
"In today's challenging economic environment, the deep global learning provided by the UCLA-NUS program is particularly valuable. Our participants tell us that they see immediate benefits of the global perspective, on a variety of levels. In fact, it is not at all uncommon for them to apply classroom lessons in the board room when they return to work after a session", " said Chris Erickson, senior associate dean for global initiatives and academic director of the UCLA-NUS Global Executive MBA program.
Michael Berchtold ('87) To Deliver UCLA-NUS Commencement Address
The UCLA-NUS EMBA program has also announced that Michael Berchtold ('87) will deliver the UCLA-NUS commencement address on August 29, 2009. Berchtold is a private investor, who retired from Morgan Stanley in early 2007 after working for the company since 1987.
Berchtold worked in a variety of investment banking roles in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong and was based in Asia between 1990 and 2006. During this time, Berchtold advised on M&A transactions and capital raisings for private companies and government-controlled entities throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Between 1999 and 2006, he was Morgan Stanley's Head of Investment Banking for Asia Pacific. Over these seven years, Morgan Stanley was recognized three times as the region's Investment Bank of the Year by Finance Asia. Berchtold also served as President of Morgan Stanley's Asia Pacific business from 2003 through 2006. While living in Hong Kong, Berchtold served on the General Committee of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.

Release Date: July 29, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Today, Andrew Whittaker, PhD, SE, director of MCEER at the University at Buffalo, will tell Congress that the United States is not prepared for effects of a major earthquake in a large urban area.
He will do so during his 10 a.m. testimony before the Subcommittee on Research and Technology of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology, 2321 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C., at a hearing to review the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). The subcommittee is chaired by Congressman Larry Bucshon, MD, (R-IN) and the committee's ranking member is Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-IL).
Whittaker will report that the United States is not prepared, in part, because the effects of such an event, both economic and social, will be felt far from its epicenter.
"Lifelines are at the core of resilience," Whittaker explains, "and we do not understand the vulnerability of our lifelines, their interdependencies and the cascading effects of lifeline failures, regionally and nationally, and so we can neither judge nor characterize our earthquake resilience."
He will present several specific recommendations for research and development aimed at earthquake preparation and mitigation. He calls this "a multidisciplinary endeavor, requiring contributions from earth scientists and seismologists, geotechnical and structural engineers, social scientists and planners."
Whittaker's testimony will point to the 2011 National Research Council report on National Earthquake Resilience, which presented a roadmap for achieving resilience that was constructed around 18 elements. His key recommendations cut across these 18 elements and will include a call for the U.S. Geological Survey to build out and maintain the Advanced National Seismic System and support its maintenance; and for the National Science Foundation to adequately support earthquake engineering research infrastructure and to provide funds to enable researchers to take full advantage of this infrastructure. He will also recommend NEHRP investments in lifelines, tools and technology to harden vulnerable buildings, the development of seismic isolators and dampers to protect high-value components in building and non-building structures, performance-based earthquake engineering for buildings and non-building structures, and funding of technology transfer, including a substantial strengthening of support for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Let me emphasize the fact that you can only have one account on a psp. If you continually switch between your NA and JP accounts, you'll break the licenses of all your content after 5 or so switches. So if you're planning on getting anything from the NA or JP store, stick with that.
There're a couple of different plug-ins that'll allow one to access the PSN on a CFW PSP, I heard some good things about something called PSNLover, not that it'd be too hard to get PSP content if you have a PS3..Also, it's easy enough to switch PSN accounts on a CFW, you could use a program for it, PSN License Manager, or backup some file that's in your flash1 or 2, don't have my PSP with me so I can't be more specific on the filename or location.Still, you won't be able to use DLC if you only have the files, but not the right to acces said file; you could download Valkyria 2 DLC, backup the registry file thing and delete the original, go to a JP PSN account and download iM@S stuff or so but then you won't be able to acces Valkyria DLC unless you switch back to your UK account.
if maybe it needs the UMD :/
And just switch licenses when i want to play it?
Can I use that to download PSP content and copy it over somehow?

Chocolate Guinness Cake
This cake is a dark moist sponge that oozes the flavour of the chocolate and subtle undertones resonating from the Guinness. The frothy topped pint of Guinness is replicated here with the creamy exuberance of cream cheese frosting. Sprinkled with a touch of Irish charm in these shamrocks.
Chocolate Guinness Cake
Makes 12 slices
For the cake
250ml Guinness
250g unsalted butter, cut into pieces
75g cocoa
400g caster sugar
142ml sour cream
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
275g plain flour
2 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
For the topping
300g Philadelphia cream cheese
150g icing sugar
125ml double or whipping cream
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180˚C, butter and line a 23cm springform tin.
Start by pouring the Guinness into a large, wide saucepan and add the butter; heat until the butter's melted, at which time you should whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Beat the sour cream with eggs and vanilla and then pour in the pan of brown, buttery, beer and finally whisk in the four and bicarb.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack, as it's quite a damp cake.
When the cake's cold, sit it on a flat platter or cake stand and get on with the icing. Lightly whip the cream cheese until smooth, sieve over the icing sugar and then beat them both together. Add the cream and beat again until it makes a spreadable consistency.
Ice the top of the black cake so that it resembles the frothy top of the famous pint. Sprinkle with shamrock sprinkles or green glitter or sugar (optional).

75g/3oz plain flour
100g/4oz butter, softened
50g/2oz caster sugar

My brother and I growing up always said we'd name our kids something "normal" because we hated when people struggled with our names. Even this next generation, i see younger cousins having a hard time with people getting their names correct. It drives me nuts.
What are some male baby names that are somewhat american? All ican think of is Adam (obviously), and Kamran (it's like "cameron")....anything else?
I hope this isn't offensive to anyone, I wish I could go with something super traditional, but growing up here and STILL having people misspell my name...i'm keeping true to my vow that i made as a child and i'm sticking to it :)

Variations of biliary anatomy are well described. Those of most relevance to the operative surgeon are the variations of the extrahepatic ducts and their relationships to the right hepatic artery and its branches. We describe another even rarer congenital anomaly of a preduodenal portal vein. Its embryological derivation and presentation are discussed to heighten awareness of its recognition and reduce the potential of a serious operative misadventure.

"..the common ancestral gene for the hominoid and Old World monkey ABO bloodgroup is A type, and three B alleles evolved independently on the human, gorilla, and baboon lineages."
"While the Niitsitapi were in the Great Plains, they came to depend on the buffalo (American bison) as their main source of food. The bison are the largest mammals in North America and stand about 6 ½ feet tall and weigh up to 2,200 pounds.[6] Before the introduction of horses, the Niitsitapi had to devise ways of sneaking up close to the buffalo without the animals' noticing so they could get in range for a good shot. The first and most common way for them to hunt the buffalo was using the buffalo jump. The hunters would round up the buffalo into V-shaped pens and drive them over a cliff (they hunted prong-horned antelopes in the same way). After the buffalo went over the cliff, the Indians would go to the bottom and take as much meat as they needed and could carry back to camp. They also used camouflage for hunting.[6] The hunters would take buffalo skins from previous hunting trips and drape them over their bodies to blend in and mask their scent. By subtle moves, the hunters could get close to the herd. When close enough, the hunters would shoot the bison with arrows, or use lances and spears to bring them down.They used virtually all parts of the body and skin. They prepared the meat for food: by boiling, roasting and drying for jerky. This prepared it to last a long time without spoiling, and they depended on bison meat to get through the winters.[7] The winters were long, harsh, and cold due to the lack of trees in the Plains, so the people stockpiled the meat when they had the chance.[8] The hunters often ate the bison heart minutes after the kill, as part of their hunting ritual. The skins were prepared and used to cover the tepee. The tepee was made of log poles with the skin draped over it. It remained warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and a great shield against the wind.[9] With further preparation of tanning and softening, the women made special clothing from the skins: robes and moccasins. They rendered bison fat to make soap. Both men and women made utensils, sewing needles and tools from the bones, using tendon for fastening and binding. The stomach and bladder were cleaned and prepared for use as containers for storing liquids. Dried bison dung was fuel for fires. the fires. The Niitsitapi used almost every part of the buffalo and considered it a sacred animal, integral to their lives.[10]"
"The toxicity of lectins has been identified by consumption of food with high content of lectins, which can lead to diarrhoea, nausea, bloating, vomiting, even death (as from ricin). Many legume seeds have been proven to contain high lectin activity, termed as hemagglutinating activity. Soybean is the most important grain legume crop, the seeds of which contain high activity of soybean lectins (soybean agglutinin or SBA). SBA is able to disrupt small intestinal metabolism and damage small intestinal villi via the ability of lectins to bind with brush border surfaces in the distal part of small intestine. Heat processing can reduce the toxicity of lectins, but low temperature or insufficient cooking may not completely eliminate their toxicity, as some plant lectins are resistant to heat."
"D'Adamo claims there are many ABO specific lectins in foods.[14] This claim is unsubstantiated by established biochemical research, which has not found differences in how the lectins react with a given human ABO type. In fact, research shows that lectins which are specific for a particular ABO type are not found in foods (except for one or two rare exceptions, e.g. lima bean), and that lectins with ABO specificity are more frequently found in non-food plants or animals.[15][16]The Nachbar Study[17] has been cited in support of D'Adamo's theories, because it reports that the edible parts of 29 of 88 foods tested, including common salad ingredients, fresh fruits, roasted nuts, and processed cereals were found to possess significant lectin-like activity (as assessed by hemagglutination and bacterial agglutination assays). However, almost all of the 29 foods agglutinated all ABO blood types, and were not ABO blood type specific. Since D'Adamo's theory has to do with lectins in food that are "specific for a certain ABO blood type", this study does not support his claim that there are many ABO specific lectins in foods."

The western herbs that act as relaxants as well as nervine tonics are beneficial. These include Valerian, Passion Flower, Chamomile, Vervain, and Oatstraw. This category of herbs not only relaxes nervous tension, but also tones the nervous system. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is the most popular of this category, and has been shown in studies to enhance sleep quality with no side-effects the next morning.
Adaptogenic herbs such as Siberian Ginseng and American Ginseng are also useful. The symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness are often signs of deep metabolic stress in the body. This category of herbs assist the body in adapting to stress, whether the stress be metabolic, physical, or psychological. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is often taken one to two weeks a month to support the metabolism of the body and to reduce the effects of stress. It also enhances energy and overall health and resistance.
And finally, those under stress need nutritional support. The B Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Calcium are often depleted, and their supplementation is often beneficial. And since L-Tryptophan, the amino acid often used for alleviating insomnia, is no longer available on the market, one may need to choose among these other nutrients.
The following is an Herbal Program that may be useful in treating insomnia.

The flat cap (or bunnet in Scotland and Dai cap in Wales) is a classic style of cap. The rounded cap is a chic yet sporty accessory. Predominantly worn by men, but nowadays also loved by women and children, the flat cap has long established its status as a wardrobe staple. It is wearable all year around and the perfect choice to add an elegant touch to any outfit. The rounded cap often comes in many varieties. With a small visor, a top button or 6 panel style the cap offers many stylish extras to choose from. Often the cap features lining for extra warmth and comfort. The visor is ideal for protecting the eyes and face from the sun. Some caps come with hidden ear flaps or even an additional neck flap to protect you from cold wind and rain during the cold seasons and from heat and sunburn during the warm period of the year and on holiday. Typical materials include cosy wool, soft cotton and sophisticated leather. But you can also find a flat cap made from warm alpaca wool, light fur felt, flowing silk or even rustic straw. The luxurious fabric feels light and keeps the head warm. Some caps come with special UV protection or water-resistant layers. The classic accessory is often accompanied by a classic pattern such as tartan or herringbone . Popular colour choices are dark tones like grey, brown and navy blue but also bright reds. From a practical waterproof flat cap through to a traditional Harris Tweed cap to a sophisticated leather flat cap – the options are endless. The flat cap has its origin in 14th century Northern England when it was known as a bonnet. Towards the end of the 16th century on Sundays and holidays, the bonnet had to be worn by all men over six years by law. Exceptions were made only for the nobility and so-called "persons of degree". As a result, the flat cap established itself as an accessory for the working class. Also known as a golf cap nowadays, the hat has been associated with the upper class as well as later being considered a fashionable accessory during leisure time among upper-class Englishmen. Nowadays the famous headgear is considered a more or less classless item.

What evangelicals can learn from Superman: Column
Christians engaging culture through 'Man on Steel' is a sign of our changing times.
To mark the opening of the much-anticipated Man of Steel this weekend, the marketing machines have been churning as they always do when a blockbuster movie is coming to a theater near you. But amid the merchandizing madness comes a "product" tie-in that might surprise you — outreach to evangelical pastors with free resources they can use to preach and teach on themes from this Superman reboot.
Take it as a sign of the changing times that a secular movie is being embraced as a teaching opportunity for Christians, not ignored or condemned as it might have been in the past as a threat to godly values from an evil Hollywood. Credit the change instigators in evangelical America for a new understanding that it's better to engage the wider culture than hunker behind a wall of insularity. After all, you can't learn from, or influence, that which you shun.
Orchestrated by Grace Hill Media, a public relations firm focused largely on the Christian market, the Superman campaign equips pastors with sermon outlines, Man of Steel photos and film clips, and free pastor screenings. "Superman's mythical origins," the sermon notes say, "are rooted in the timeless reality of a spiritual superhero who also lived a modest life until extraordinary times required a supernatural response. ... How might the story of Superman awaken our passion for the greatest hero who ever lived and died and rose again?"
Bible-film parallels
The parallels between the film and the Bible are hard to miss: a father figure from on high who sends a supercharged savior to make a sacrificial intervention on behalf of us mortals; the initial reluctance of the intervener to accept his daunting assignment; the earthly powers-that-be who fear and reject the messiah when he steps into this destiny.
When it comes to secular pop culture, evangelical America has come a long way since the days of "hit and run" — hit, as in condemn, and run, as in teach your kids and flocks that this stuff is to be avoided like the devil. Some images from the past might be etched in your memory: Conservative Christians protesting works of art (remember Piss Christ?) or movies (The Last Temptation of Christ, among many others) deemed offensive to their faith; evangelicals making headlines for their rejection of the wildly popular Harry Potter series on the thin pretense that it promoted the occult; evangelical pastors exhorting teenagers to burn their rock-music CDs and tapes and, with them, their satanic influences.
In place of all these "secular" creations were offered Christian alternatives. Christian rock, Christian rap, Christian movies, Christian art, Christian news, Christian television, Christian novels, Christian colleges — these have been the hallmarks of an evangelical subculture that, for decades, felt compelled to manufacture a cleansed and Christian version of seemingly everything.
Engage, learn, create
More recently, there has been a growing understanding that walls meant to protect Christians have also barred them from participating in a secular culture that, for all its crass commercialization and glorified sex and violence, offers much that is enlightening and uplifting. The increasingly common call in evangelical America: Engage culture. Learn from it. Create it, with or without the explicit faith references.
As Andy Crouch writes in his book Culture Making, if Christians want to change culture for the better, they need to participate in its ongoing creation.
You might be surprised by the pop culture sources that today's evangelical thought leaders draw from. In a recent article at Patheos, Paul Louis Metzger finds powerful sustenance for Christians amid the profanity and blood of the Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction. Deep theology, a hit man's search for redemption, an ambiguous possibility of divine intervention — it's all there.
Obviously, engagement with secular culture must come with a great deal of caution. Degrading pornography, gratuitous violence and caustic humor also define what's going on out there in the secular culture, and they are not directions in which Christians (or anyone) should want to go. Christian porn? No.
Yet as more evangelicals are realizing, when you stop seeing the wider culture as the road to hell, there might be a hell of a lot to learn from Superman, Bruce Springsteen, Martin Scorsese and other "secular" culture-makers. And, no, they don't run with that other S-man who sports the horns and tail.

Dear phone, we're not in Akron!
Update: Nokia just pinged us to let us know they are "...aware of the issue and it has been addressed, but users may need to restart their phones to see the fix take effect." Moreover, this does not seem to be a Lumia 900 issue per se but rather related to AT&T's LTE towers. Evidently some Android users have had this problem too.
It looks like the Nokia Lumia 900 on AT&T is experiencing yet another odd and seemingly random bug these days. For some users, when they fire up a GPS application such as Maps, Local Scout, Foursquare (for checkins) or Yelp, they show up as being in Akron, Ohio despite not actually being there.
The issue first popped up in Nokia's support forums with two threads and a handful of users noting the problem. Another thread appeared here in the Windows Phone Central Forums as well. But to be honest, we had only received one email complaint on the matter from reader Alex T. and we had not seen this bug ourselves to verify--so off it went into the "quirks" pile for further investigation.
This week though as we're paling around with Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott in sunny San Francisco, both of their devices suddenly had this happen. First up was Thurrott who's phone just would not budge from the great state of Ohio. Despite soft-resets, some toggling and a boatload of swearing, there it stayed.
Later that night, Rivera's phone did the exact same thing when we were at Denny's. What was curious though was how both phones, even when placed next to each other, did not have the bug at the same time. Both Lumia 900s, both on AT&T, yet one worked and the other did not. (Our 900 was in tow but we were using the Focus 2 as our primary device this week).
We're not sure if this is related to AT&Ts network for aGPS, an issue with full GPS or maybe something in between. We have noticed that more folks seem to experience it on the West coast but that could just be sampling error.
So we figured we would crowdsource this a bit and ask you if you've experienced this on your Lumia 900. And if so, what state are you in? Hit the poll below. (And for our international users, have you had something similar?).

'Divorce Is Not an Option' for Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton
Power couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are not only one of the cutest pairs in country music -- they're also one of the most committed. Lambert recently discussed the seriousness of their vows and their determination to stay together, even when they're miles apart on tour.
"You know, it's not easy all the time being on opposite sides of the country and, you know, traveling and all that," she confessed after the 2013 ACMs (quote via Country Weekly). "But when you get to celebrate moments like this together and when you go through the hard stuff together, those are the moments that actually count. All the rest is fluff."
The 'Mama's Broken Heart' singer added, "Like I always say, my mom said to my dad, 'Divorce is not an option.' So, we really love each other and have a real marriage outside of all of this." Although there were some pesky rumors floating around, questioning the couple's commitment, Lambert makes it crystal clear: she and her man are together for the long haul.
"When this is all said and done, we will be drinking a beer together on a front porch somewhere, reminiscing about the good old days, and that's what I'm happy about," she said.
It's refreshing to hear about their devotion to each other, even amidst their busy lives, as in the entertainment industry, sometimes one sees more failed marriages than successes. It goes without saying that the two stars are an inspiration!

Memory Monday: Getting Married at Dr. Maiden's House
Brides are usually supposed to be the "stars" at their weddings. I was not the star of mine, and that was fine with me. I had never wanted a big, fancy wedding, and was happy to have as little fuss (and expense) as possible. I wore a simple white blouse, a dark skirt I had bought at a thrift shop, and a garland bought at a florist's shop – it's still in our freezer 26 years later. We did not arrange to have a large church wedding and reception, but opted instead for a small potluck party afterwards at a friend's house, and when we registered at the courthouse to get a marriage license we had a J.P. assigned to marry us.
The J. P. was a 97-year-old Methodist minister named Dr. Maiden, and he was the star of our wedding. We were married at his house, which was equipped with a special automated chair on the banister of his staircase that could be used to go up and down the stairs. One of the instructions he gave to Stuart was, "Now Stuart, one of the first things you have to learn when you get married is to put your wife on a pedestal, so I'm going to have you seat Greta on this chair, which is a lot like a pedestal, and let her take a ride up and down these stairs." I enjoyed the ride. Then we let Stuart's 2-year-old niece Kristy take a turn.
Dr. Maiden was still very sharp and had a wonderful wit, so wonderful, in fact, that Stuart and I had to fight to keep from dissolving in giggles throughout the entire ceremony. Almost all of the pictures from our wedding show us cracking up or with huge smiles on our faces. One picture shows Dr. Maiden cracking up.
I will never forget Dr. Maiden and believe our "humorous" wedding got us off to the right start. I do not look down on the more solemn ceremonies that are more typical of weddings, and I love the beautiful ritual of the weddings we have witnessed in our church, but I believe that one of the strongest elements of our marriage has been humor and that it was appropriate for us to start our married life that way.

What a great wedding memory. Dr. Maiden sounds like a person I would want to know.ReplyDelete
He was just such a wonderful person. You can see a bit of his bio online if you do a search on "Arthur Lee Maiden." I have a copy of an article on him that appeared in the paper about a year after our wedding and came across it just week or two ago, but now I can't find it (story of my life).ReplyDelete

Sounds like a perfect wedding to me! We had some funny times at our wedding as well, which was as "informal" as yours, it seems; I was married in a purple cocktail dress and our J.P. went to high school with my husband!ReplyDelete
What a fun post!
Hi Downtothesea - Thank you! We used the money we saved to take a honeymoon in Scotland. I've always been glad we did it that way. I think a purple cocktail dress sounds great!ReplyDelete
