The 5 Reasons You Want a Sunday Wedding
- It's cheaper. Lots cheaper. From the venue to every other vendor, you can usually get Sunday discounts. (And every dollar you save goes directly to your honeymoon fund!)
- Speaking of vendors, you can have your pick on Sundays. All the best caterers, florist, photographers, DJs, etc book waaaay in advance. Unless you're working at least a year out, you probably won't get your "A" team on a summer Saturday. But ask for a Sunday and you'll get smiles, discounts, and open calendars. No stress is a good thing in wedding planning.
- It's more romantic. Let the main event be what it has been for thousands of years, truly a spiritual ritual, not a frat party. Think of the centuries of tradition behind the ceremony you are about to experience. Do you really want your guests staying up until 2:00 getting hammered?
- You get to have your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner party on a Saturday. This is your "in crowd", the people you really wanted to hang with, and now you have more quality time with them. If you want to do a group event prior to the rehearsal dinner (float the river? pick/arrange flowers? hike/picnic?) you have a relaxed Saturday to make that happen.
- Having a Sunday wedding does not mean it's a small one afternoon/evening event (unless you want it to be, of course.) Ask us about our sample Sunday Wedding Timelines!

The N.C. State Ports Authority last week quietly agreed in principle on the frameworks of deals with two private companies to bring wood-pellet storage and exporting facilities to the state-operated ports in Wilmington and Morehead City.
The votes, which allow negotiations of final contract terms during the next few weeks, came last Thursday at a sparsely attended authority board of directors meeting in Raleigh with no public notice that the issue would be discussed.
The wood-pellet projects have sparked concern since last fall, with environmental groups and residents worried about potential effects on North Carolina's forests, increased train traffic through Morehead City and the issue of whether the emerging and uncertain wood-pellet industry would give the Ports Authority an adequate return on its related investments at the ports.
The companies plan to manufacture wood pellets, a fuel source, in the state, then sell them to electric utilities in Europe and ship them through the ports.
Across Europe, utility companies are being pressed by governments to cut greenhouse gas emissions and rely more on renewable energy sources. State and industry officials have said the initiatives could create hundreds of jobs in economically depressed eastern North Carolina at the plants and at logging and trucking firms.
The industry would also provide income to landowners whose timber is cut to make the pellets.
No one has suggested that the Ports Authority, an agency of the state Department of Transportation that oversees the ports, has broken any open meetings laws, but its lack of transparency has raised concerns among critics of the project who didn't know the votes were taken at last week's board meeting until a reporter called them.
Geoff Gisler, a staff attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group, said the center and other groups previously called on the state to analyze the potential effect on state forests, in part because taxpayer money would be spent on the port facilities.
"The state is taking major steps on projects that could have significant environmental impacts, and there should be more public discussion, not less," Gisler said.
Danny McComas, the former state representative who is now the authority board chairman, said the votes "should have been on the agenda." But authority staff gave a different explanation. Spokeswoman Laura Blair said in written answers to questions that ports meeting agendas are "somewhat fluid and always subject to change" because of the nature of port business.
She said the authority's Governance and Compensation Committee voted in closed session a day earlier on the framework of the deals to assure the pellet companies that the authority was "moving forward in a timely fashion" on the projects. The full board's votes on the projects came the next day.
Environmental concerns
As far as environmental concerns, state officials say just a fraction of the state's trees are cut down annually, leaving plenty untouched for the new industry.
Steve Mueller, president of International WoodFuels, which would ship pellets out of Morehead City, said Wednesday the pellet buyers in Europe would hire third-party companies to ensure WoodFuels employs sustainable practices in harvesting its lumber.
After last week's votes, the Ports Authority released general summaries of the two projects but said details are still being negotiated and releasing more information could jeopardize the projects.
Maryland-based Enviva Holdings would pay for and build a pellet facility at the Port of Wilmington, including rail and truck unloading stations, two concrete storage domes and a ship-loading complex. A Ports Authority estimate showed the facility would cost $35 million to $40 million if built by the authority. Enviva also plans to build two or three wood-pellet manufacturing plants in eastern North Carolina. The new plants would produce at least 1 million metric tons of pellets a year, which would be transported to the Wilmington port by rail, generating about three trains per week.
The company would pay the Ports Authority for loading the cargo on ships and leasing the land on which its facility would be built. The authority would waive the first five years of lease payments, according to the documents. The value of the waived lease payments was not disclosed. According to the summary, the Ports Authority also would have the option to buy the ship-loading complex at an estimated cost of about $13 million.
Morehead City facility
In Morehead City, the Ports Authority would borrow money to build a similar pellet facility for use by International WoodFuels at a cost of up to $15 million. The project now proposed is a scaled-down version of the much larger facility first envisioned, but ports officials said it could be expanded to meet demands.
WoodFuels, which recently moved its headquarters from California to Raleigh, plans to invest about $60 million on a plant in Sims and begin shipping pellets by July 2014. The Sims plant would produce roughly 285,000 metric tons of pellets a year, all of which would be shipped out of Morehead City to a buyer in Europe. The pellets would be transported to the port primarily by rail.
A second WoodFuels manufacturing plant could open a year later, increasing the tonnage going through Morehead City. At the port, the authority would build one storage dome initially, then a second after the second WoodFuels plant opens.
WoodFuels would pay handling charges for each ton of pellets shipped, along with vessel dockage and other fees, which were not disclosed.
Effect of traffic
Neal Littman, general manager of the Morehead City Yacht Basin adjacent to the Morehead City port, said he is concerned about the effect of increased train traffic through the town.
He was also concerned that the vote was taken without advance notice. "If these ideas are great ideas, why isn't their brass band marching down the street proclaiming them?" he said. "Why do we have to hear about them after they've been done in secret?"
Critics have also questioned whether the wood-pellet business is worth the investment from the state, given that the demand in Europe for the fuel is based on political energy policies that could change. Michael Lee, a ports board member from Wilmington, raised that question during the meeting. "We're kind of going all in an area that's policy-driven," Lee said.
Protecting state interests
Jeff Miles, the authority's acting executive director, said he believed state interests would be protected. The Ports Authority has had conversations with a European utility that affirmed it would buy the wood pellets from WoodFuels and ship them through Morehead City. He also said construction of the facility at the port won't begin until the company starts building its pellet manufacturing plant. He added that if the pellet industry doesn't pan out, the storage facility built by the ports can be used for agriculture or other forest products.
At the meeting, the Ports Authority board unanimously voted to give Miles the authority to negotiate the final deals in consultation with McComas. The ports board didn't initially plan to take final votes on the projects, but Blair said this week that the board would vote again when agreements are finalized. The lease associated with the Wilmington project also must be approved by the Council of State, and any borrowing of money would have to be approved by Gov. Pat McCrory, port officials said.

Daniel Handler and Gregory Gallant are teaming up for a new children's book series that kicks off this fall. That sentence may not mean a lot to you, unless you know that Handler is the real name of Lemony Snicket, the author of the mega-popular, best-selling A Series of Unfortunate Events children's book series, and Gallant is better known as Seth, the Canadian cartoonist who created Wimbledon Green, George Sprott and Palookaville.
Who Could That Be at This Hour?, the first book in the "All the Wrong Questions" series, arrives in stores Oct. 23. Here's a description of the book from its Barnes & Noble listing: "In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He began asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not have been published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume."
Publisher Little Brown plans a first printing of a million copies and has set up a teaser site to promote the book.

Relationships are a beautiful thing.
And having healthy relationships makes life that much more enjoyable. However, they can also be quite complex - especially romantic ones.👩❤💋👨
Many factors need to work together in order for any relationship to work - time, place, as well as more personal ones that differ according to each individual.
I get asked a lot of questions about relationships; so I decided to dedicate this month's vlog to answering them, as well as sharing tips I have found to be useful when preparing for a relationship.
Although this vlog is aimed at single women, I believe those already in a relationship can relate to it as well.
Either way, I hope you all find this information helpful.😉😊
My brother is the biggest advocate for relationships that I know.
He's always going on about all the different things he's learnt through the relationships he's been in - both about himself and about life in general. He's constantly advising me to get into a relationship, because he believes that that's the best way for me to learn things about myself that I wouldn't learn otherwise. You see, according to him, being in a relationship is like having a second set of eyes, eyes that see you differently from the way you see yourself; and notice different things about you from the things you know notice about yourself.
I understand where he's coming from, and I believe that what he's saying is true. However, after a recent conversation with my sister, I'm not entirely convinced that being in a relationship is the only way to learn and grow...
Having become so comfortable standing alone and generally being alone, I learnt a bit late that being a woman isn't something I can do on my own.
Every part of my journey included one group of women or another, and sometimes I was lucky enough to experience more than one part of my journey with the same group of women. Even when I look through this blog, I see traces of the women in my life - from the pictures 📷and videos 🎥 they took of me to the meals they treated me to, and shared with me. 🍴😊 My mind is filled with the lessons I have learnt through my friendships and relationships with these women.
Honestly speaking, now that I've realized this, I don't know how any woman can survive without having other women - be it mothers, aunties, sisters, cousins or girlfriends - in her life!
"I'm so glad that I'm friends with women of substance."
This semester I took a class called "The F Word", and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! 😃
First off, the F word is not the word you're thinking it is. At least not in this case. Lol. The F actually stands for Feminism, a movement that has been associated with a lot of negative things in the past, hence the decision to call the class "The F Word". But as I have learnt, those things don't define what feminists truly stand for.
Some people think that feminists hate men, and that feminist women think that they don't need men, but that's not true; true feminist women are actually less hostile towards men than other women are, and feminists actually have healthier and more stable romantic relationships 💑 - at least according to studies. 😊
By definition, a feminist is a person who believes that women and men are equal, and that they should be treated equally. In fact, going by this definition, men can be feminists, too! 😉
My favourite parable in The Bible has always been the one about two sons (Matthew 21:28-32). The parable tells of how their father asked his sons to go and work in his vineyard. The first one says no, but later on he changes his mind and goes. The second son readily says that he will go, but never goes. I can remember how surprised I was when I read in verse 31 that it was actually the first son who had obeyed his father! My young mind couldn't understand how his response translated to obedience. He had blatantly told his father that he wouldn't go to the vineyard to work.
But I had missed the point: in the end, he is the one who did exactly what his father had asked him to do.
I find it easier and more effective to write down how I feel rather than to say it.

I was asked by James Bacon, editor of the fanzine Journey Planet, to contribute a piece for their Doctor Who issue - #19 - in Winter 2014. I chose to channel my seven-year-old self as accurately as I could.
But I couldn't bear to add in fake childlike spelling errors, even though the odd 'would of' would
of introduced verisimilitude. That is because I'm the sort of OCD-lite adult who likes to use pretentious words like verisimilitude. Seven-year-old me would probably be disgusted.
* * *
By Helena Nash, aged 7, 1976
I like the new Doctor best because he is like all the other Doctors combined. The Doctor Who Monster Book says he is as clever as the first one, as funny as the second one and as nice as the third one. I don't remember the first or second ones but I do remember the third one fighting some big spiders. The spiders scared me, especially when a big one appeared out of thin air on a carpet when the people were chanting. My friend John from next door likes to chant Om Merry Yummy Yum over and over again. He wants to make a giant spider appear on my back like it did with Sarah Jane.
My favourite Doctor Who story is the one with the Loch Ness Monster and the Zygons. We have these yellow cushions at home with frilly bits along the edges. Me and my brother pull them down on our heads and chase each around the house being Zygons. The Loch Ness Monster is good but he doesn't do much. I bet the dinosaurs in the Dinosaur Invasion were better - the picture on the front of the book has one going KKLAK!
The scariest monster in Doctor Who is actually Davros because he is in charge of the Daleks. Also he hasn't got any eyes and even if you work for him he kills you. I am glad the Daleks got him in the end but I think Doctor Who should have blown up the green things that live inside the Daleks.
I also like the Doctor Who action game on the back of the Weetabix packets. I have all four bits of the board and Escape From the Underworld is the best one because it has Silurians and a crawling hand. One of the other bits is Discover The Lost Planet and it has a Thal who looks like James Hunt. I have all the stand-up figures from Weetabix apart from set 6 which has the Tardis and a Sontaran. I will swap my spare Vega Nexos and Aggedor cards for set 6 so my collection will be complete.
I was a bit scared that time when the Sontaran took off his helmet and he had a humpty dumpty head. My mum says if I have nightmares again after watching Doctor Who she won't let me watch it again. Last night a man on Doctor Who turned into a Krynoid in the garden shed, but I don't think my mum saw that I was watching through my fingers so I think I am alright.

About Deb
Photographer's Statement
"Invariably the uniqueness and beauty of wild lands always manage to move me. I'm awestruck by their diversity of texture and essence. It brings me great joy to be able to share those sights photographically and to, hopefully, nurture the same sense of awe and devotion to their protection and preservation." – DST
A native of Indiana, Deb Tappan received concurrent degrees from Indiana University in both Telecommunications and Environmental Studies. Involved with newspaper production for many years, she "retired" from the University of Tennessee where she had served for 15 years and advanced her academic pursuit. Deb now is dynamically engaged in her other life's passions namely, natural history photography, ecology and environmental protection. Since 1990, Deb Tappan has hiked in and explored many of our national parklands. Through her photography, she has attempted to "transport" the magnificent topography, life forms, and natural history from wherever she finds them. "Invariably the uniqueness and beauty of wild lands always manage to move me. I'm awestruck by their diversity of texture and essence. It brings me great joy to be able to share those sights photographically and to, hopefully, nurture the same sense of awe and devotion to their protection and preservation."
Deb's interest in photography was kindled when she was quite young. "It is a gift from my Dad. He was the one who introduced me to photography and black and white printing. Using the furnace room of our house as the darkroom and an old projector as an enlarger he showed me the magic of print making and capturing those moments of time." Deb's photographic skills have continued to evolve. She maintained a wet darkroom (in a closet) initially and now has moved into the digital age. Three digital SLRs rounds out her equipment. Not foregoing film, she uses a high end film/slide scanner. In the spring of 2003 Deb launched this website which showcases her photographic work. Currently, Deb's photographs hang in homes and offices across the country. In 2016 she produced a Blu-ray featuring a selection of her images, "Nature's Moments: vol. 1". In January 2019 she published her first photo collection book. She is a member of NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association).
In addition to her photography, she is involved with the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and other academic pursuits and environmental causes. She is a former Contributing Editor and Q&A Board Moderator for Digicamhelp. "Life isn't static."
WILDLIFE/NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY ETHICS: Applying ecologically sensitive, responsible field practices are of utmost importance to Deb. She is a proponent of her Wildlife/Nature Photography and Viewing Code of Ethics as well as Leave No Trace Outdoors Ethics.
IMAGING ETHICS: Deb Tappan's objective is to photograph nature in a manner which advances our appreciation and understanding of its intricacies. Therefore, her images are not artistic recreations, composites or subject manipulations but rather authentic representations of the landscapes and subjects as she found them throughout her travels. "Nature is filled with diverse and astonishing features. To misrepresent the subject would be detrimental to our understanding of it."
EXHIBIT: One of Deb's prints was on display as part of a special exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. This special exhibit, "Lieutenant Ronald Reagan and the U.S. Cavalry" ran from June 18, 2005 through July 5, 2006.

SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — A federal grand jury indicted three Southern California residents Wednesday who prosecutors say were involved in a fraudulent health insurance scheme involving more than $50 million worth of unneeded medical procedures.
According to the U.S. Attorney, the three defendants charged today are Vi Nguyen, 31, of Placentia; Theresa Fisher, 44, of Tustin; and Lindsay Hardgraves, 30, of San Pedro.
Nguyen, a consultant at the surgery center, is charged with 10 counts of mail fraud.
Fisher was another consultant who is charged with five counts of mail fraud, and Hardgraves was a marketer who is charged with two counts of mail fraud, officials said.
The indictment alleges that marketers lured patients to a surgery center in Orange County under the names of Empire Surgical Center, Vista Surgical Center and Princess Cosmetic Surgery.
During a consultation, patients were then told that they would be able to use their healthcare plans to pay for these surgeries and even receive free or discounted cosmetic procedures if they underwent multiple surgeries that are generally not covered by insurance, officials said.
Patients typically underwent procedures like endoscopies, colonoscopies and cystocopies. Once their insurance programs paid the claims, patients were offered discounted procedures that included tummy tucks, rhinoplasties, breast augmentations and liposuction, prosecutors said.
"As a result of the fradulent scheme, defendants Nguyen, Fisher and Hardgraves caused losses to union and PPO healthcare benefit programs of more than $50 million in claims for functional procedures that were not medically necessary and in some cases not provided," the indictment alleges.
The three defendants were arrested July 1 and made their initial court appearances the same day, and all were released on bond.
If convicted, the defendants will each face maximum sentences of 20 years in federal prison for each mail-fraud count.
They have been ordered to appear July 28 for an arraignment.

Summer 2010 Watch List
The Spring 2010 anime season is winding down, and with it all of the series that I've been watching lately. Angel Beats and Ichiban Ushiro Daimaou, and holdovers from Winter 2010 Durarara!! and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood have all been some solid material this season, but all good things do come to an end. Fortunately, it's looking like the Summer 2010 season is going to be just packed with new series to follow – and I do mean packed, as my personal watch list has ten series on it. Naturally, that number will probably drop off a bit after a couple weeks, but as of right now Summer 2010 has more obvious potential than the last three seasons of anime put together.
Spring Anime Lineup 2010
Sorry about the lack of updates folks. I've been trying to get a review of a game I want to do straight in my head, but before I do that, I may wind up reviewing something else since it seems to be taking so long. With that in mind, let me direct you to the Spring 2010 Anime Linup.
Spring 2008 Anime Preview
Spring has sprung, and with it a new season of anime. This season includes the third installment of Code Geass, and more of To Love-ru in the returning series. A classic gets an update with Macross. You'll get your fix of just plain freaking WIERD with Maid Guy... And let's have some fun with a poor little fox that's gender-challenged in Wagaya. All told, looks like an interesting season's shaping up. Click on the read more link for previews for this season's series, and just like last time, be warned - you need Flash, and the page is a bit heavy, because this time around there's twenty six (!) clips! Enjoy!

Tim and I are big fans of TED Talks. Great talks about information, inspiration, and entertainment in a small digestible video of usually 8-13 minutes. Here is one posted this week from Sebastian Junger, the author of "The Perfect Storm" and the director of the documentaries "Restrepo" and "Korengal," his experiences with the military has led him to become an advocate for veterans. In this talk he makes a good point about the difficulties of our modern society.
I hope you take 13 minutes out of your day to listen.
UPDATE: After I posted this I got to think about Junger's message. You may know that I graduated from West Point, United States Military Academy. I use to have a recurring nightmare that I was late for class, or late for formation. No matter what I did I couldn't make it there on time. I would awake stressed and tired. One day after having one of these dreams I decided to make a post on my class board on Facebook. I spoke about my recurring dreams and asked if anyone else had similar experiences. I think there were roughly 70 different comments (and a lot of "likes") of others admitting they had similar dreams or telling of their unique version. One of my classmates that had since got a degree in psychology (and happened to be my plebe roommate) said that we were all suffering from various degrees of PTSD. Note: there were severe consequences to being late. Since I made that post and realized that a significant part of my class had similarly recurring disturbing dreams, my "running late" dreams have not returned, and has been about a year now. I definitely think there is something to be said about knowing you are not alone and that there are others in your community that truly "get you."

For what will probably be my final post of the year I return, as no doubt I will many times next year, when it is likely to be held, to the UK Referendum on EU membership. For those interested in the global economic context of organizations, but also in the way that decision making happens in both politics and organizations, the current 'renegotiation' is fascinating.
The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is seeking to renegotiate the terms of UK membership so as to be able to recommend to the British people that they vote to remain in the EU. The terms he is seeking, even if achieved, will not in any way change the minds of those in his own party and beyond who are implacably opposed to EU membership. And although I disagree with their opposition, they are absolutely right to see the renegotiation as a charade. Even if it succeeds, it will not in any substantive way change the terms of membership. So what is it about?
The answer is that it will enable Cameron to say to his party and voters that a deal has been struck that they can support. The more there seem to be huge difficulties and conflicts over getting the deal, the better it will be in terms of making that case. This is widely understood within the political class, the media and informed observers. So the only way that it can be successful is by its appeal to those undecided and/or only mildly anti-EU voters not following events closely and who only tune in during the run-up to the referendum (currently widely expected to be held in June 2016). They will hear that there has been a fundamental change and – if things go to plan – will vote to stay in.
Since I am strongly in favour of Britain's membership of the EU I hope this works. But it is a risky and in many ways unsatisfactory strategy. It's risky for two reasons. First, if Cameron doesn't get even the limited deal he is seeking it won't have much credibility. Second, it's by no means guaranteed that those voters it is designed to appeal to will hear this message, rather than that of the campaign to exit. But it's unsatisfactory because it repeats the errors of the past in failing to make a positive case for EU membership, and just trying to bamboozle a semi-detached electorate into making a half-hearted choice.
Outside of the government, the embryonic campaigns are both, to varying degrees, in trouble. Neither is as yet a single organization (although that will change when the Electoral Commission identify and fund the campaign groups). The 'in' campaign is dominated by Lord Rose's (former head of Marks and Spencer) rather dull, accounting approach, stressing the benefits of membership for businesses, although something more sparky and populist is offered by Alan Johnson's leadership of the Labour Party's campaign. And the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, remains at best lukewarm on British membership, a major danger for the 'in' campaign. Meanwhile the 'out' campaign is openly wracked by conflict between rival groups, a key issue being the extent to which Nigel Farage, the populist but divisive anti-immigration leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) will figure. Just today, UKIP's only MP suggested that Farage should stand down as his party's leader.
As readers of this blog will know, I was recently in Paris and whilst there had several conversations with people who expressed bemusement at the fact that this debate was even happening in Britain, and certainty that the outcome would be a vote to stay in. I am not sure that this is true, or at least that the vote will be decisive enough to prevent the question to continue to be raised. Opinion polls suggest that the result will be very close, although there is an interesting divide between internet polls (suggesting a close result) and telephone polls (suggesting an easy win for the stay in campaign). This may reflect the fact that the anti-EU movement (at least as regards UKIP) has a very well-organized online presence, and that views within the general population are rather different. It also seems likely that, unsurprisingly, the answer depends on how the question is asked.
Leaving aside the EU issue, I'm struck by how much of this has parallels with how decisions get made in organizations. Often there is a small group of highly involved and committed people on different sides of the argument, and a larger group of more or less uninterested or ambivalent people. Similar techniques are used of taking decisions and discussions to various forums and then bringing them to other bodies to make a final decision, with all the detail having been decided elsewhere. It is a perennially fascinating process about which much has been written in the organization studies literature. But, to bang on about another of my hobby horses, nowhere more insightfully than in the novels of C.P. Snow such as his 1964 masterpiece Corridors of Power.
As I said earlier, I will for sure be returning to these issues in 2016. In the meantime, a very Happy Christmas and New Year to all those reading this blog.

About OVRC
Fit Process
1. Starts With Talking. First, we'll talk about what you are looking for and what brought you in to see us. Whether you are a running a marathon, getting into trail running, walking with your friends, or simply need a comfortable pair of shoes for life and/or work, we want to know! This conversation helps us get to know you and what you need, which helps narrow down the selection.
2. Gait analysis. After we get to know what you're looking for, we offer a free gait analysis as part of our fit process. This gait analysis involves running or walking on our treadmill for about a minute while we take a short video of you in motion -- what we call the "gait cycle." From here we analyze the movement of your foot with a slow-motion video and discuss what we are seeing to help determine your level of pronation, supination, or neutrality in your gait. We are not doctors and don't claim to be, but we pride ourselves in making informed decisions about what shoe will work best for you.
3. Try The Shoes Outside. After the gait analysis our staff will measure your feet and bring out a selection of shoes that we believe will provide the best function for your need. Take your time getting a feel for the shoe and take them out for a run in the parking lot to see how they work for you.
4. You Choose. Ultimately it comes down to what you feel most comfortable in. So you have the best experience while running or walking in your shoes, we urge you to make a decision based on function rather than fashion. Color is nice, but function and comfort becomes most important when having a healthy running experience.
Return Policy
We want you to be completely satisfied with your shoe buying experience, so we give you 30 days after purchase to give them a try. If you have any concerns or are not satisfied with them we will take them back for an in-store credit. We want to work with you until you find something you are completely satisfied with from our store.

Charlie Sheen, our favorite "total friggin' rock star from Mars," has done lost his mind and is hitting the talk-show circuit harder than a bottle and a line of coke right now. His tirades are amusing, to be sure, because when was the last time you actually heard of a celebrity not only defending his "epic" partying, but bragging that he was "banging seven gram rocks and finishing them because that is how I roll"?
Instead of being a good, humble celeb and doing his stint in rehab and then shooting a couple of PSAs about how drugs are bad or whatever, he's yap, yap, yapping his way to the head of the unemployment line. What about Duckie and the kid? How are they gonna pay their mortgages? Charlie needs to chillax, take a cold shower and put something in his body that's legal to get him back to being the lush lothario he's being paid to be (big stretch there) instead of the unemployed crack-nut he's not being paid to be. We can help, Charlie! Behold our list of the top five things Charlie Sheen needs to ingest to sober his ass up and get back to work:
5. A nice salad Rock star Martians need a dose of healthy greens every so often to fuel their cells for more ill-advised media rants. A mixed greens salad with some croutons will keep him chewing long enough to stay the hell off the phone and away from the Internet, and give the goddesses babysitting him time to disable his Twitter account so that Chaz will not have the opportunity to screw his career in the asset-hole any more than he already has.

4. Danish -- with lots and lots of coffee Right now the office danish carts and coffee pots are probably still phalanxed with ordinary folks doing their boring office jobs and gossiping about how much effin' cooler Charlie's life is compared to theirs, and how he's mashing it in everyone's sorry, working-class little faces that he's jet-setting, fellating bottles of booze and snorting coke out of stupid-hottie porn stars' butt-cracks every day. Charlie really needs a boysenberry Danish and about fourteen pots of coffee to bring his noise level down to a dull roar so that people won't start hating the player and continue to hate the game.
3. Ben and Jerry's Poor Charlie. His publicist just dumped him like a sack of flaming crap, and his ex snatched his kids. He's due for a night alone, horfing down a pint of Bonnaroo Buzz (this may be the only pint he hasn't inhaled lately) and updating his resume to upload to Hot Jobs. Thank the gods -- or goddesses, in Sheen's case -- that his much-needed lawyers have no souls; otherwise, they'd be sending him a "We love you, we're just not in love with you anymore" text at 2 a.m.
2. Nutty bars Even though a million punters on Twitter find Charlie's antics worthy of ROFL or LMFAO, it only takes one judge in one courtroom to lay down the sober, boring consequences for said antics, so right now Charlie needs to STFU. Before the long arm of the law chokes off Charlie's sabbatical of awesomeness, maybe he and both his girlfriends need a few Little Debbie snack cakes. There's a huge difference between eating nutty bars and acting like them, and Charlie and company have been doing the lambada over that line for about a week now.
1. More chocolate milk The owner of Broguiere's Dairy in California, Ray Broguiere, told TMZ that Charlie's pictorial chocolate milk endorsement via Twitter last week was all Charlie being Charlie and not staged or planned. He also said that the farm is now being "inundated with phone calls from curious customers." Is this an untapped resource in the fight to get people to drink more milk? Sheen being the new spokesman for cow juice seems like an unlikely outcome of his self-aggrandizing media pep-rally, but it would be more palatable to the viewing public than his leering mug next to a baggie of crack rocks or a pair of used fishnet stockings.

For many young adults, the notion of investing for short and long-term goals is a scary one, simply because this is such unfamiliar territory. But thinking about investing doesn't have to feel like studying a foreign language. There are plenty of everyday expenses worth saving for and many great reasons for young investors to set money aside.
Buying a Home
The American Dream has always started with home ownership. It's important to think about home buying as an investment. In spite of cyclical highs and lows in the market, real estate has historically proven to be an excellent long-term investment. Looking for cheap insurance and utility expenses makes this investment more affordable.
College Expenses
Whether you're putting yourself through school or saving up to do it for your kids, college is a worthy financial investment because countless studies have revealed that college graduates have better luck with the job market and command higher salaries over the course of their careers. The upfront expense of tuition and books will pay off in the long run.
Paying for Your Wedding
A couple's wedding day is one of the high points of their lives together. It's also an event that requires some serious financial planning. It is great to set a wedding date at least a year ahead of time, in order to not only plan all the important details, but also to raise the cash needed to pay for it all. Invest wisely and don't get saddled with wedding debt when you get hitched.
Travel Purposes
Vacations and business travel are often enjoyable and rewarding, but they can be very expensive as well. It is useful to think about travel in investment terms. Looking for the best value in a plane ticket and hotel fare, for example, helps you get the best return on investment. Saving ahead of time, once again, is very important, because smart investors are sure to balance out their expenditures with their income. A strong yielding portfolio can help make stress-free vacations possible.
Buying a Car
Car payments and car insurance are an unavoidable part of the financial picture for most young people. But this doesn't mean you have to be resigned to overpaying. Research financial institutions to find the lowest loan rates, and compare car insurance providers to see which ones can furnish cheap insurance you can count on to protect you and your investment in the vehicle.
Medical Expenses
This notion of cheap insurance also applies to medical expenses. Over time, medical care gets more and more expensive, and it becomes ever more important to have quality affordable coverage. Compare several providers and find the right plan to help you control these costs.
Rainy-Day Funds
It's impossible to categorize all the different areas that young people need to target in their investment activity. It's easy for unexpected expenses to derail an investment strategy. Factor in a little bit for rainy-day expenses and make sure you're ready if unexpected costs or opportunities to invest arise.

Here are some useful tips on outdoor Christmas decorations:
- The first thing you need to take care about is Christmas lights. Do it in late November or in early December.

- Use the decorative lights as a source of energy for the lighting of the outdoors area instead of your usual outside lightning. Provide the outside lights with a cable and save energy.
- Don't feel shy – let your spirit sparkle through your lights!
Look at some indoor and outdoor Christmas decorations ideas:
If you're going to use candles, make them asymmetrical – it'll certainly create the right mood!
Choose a tree in your yard and decorates it with decorations of the single color. Make sure the tree is protected from the wind and children.

It's official: Tom Ford is done with suits. His Spring/Summer 2015 collection emphasizes that the menswear designer has taking to a more outdoors-inspired (but no less luxurious) aesthetic. Denim plays heavily, and it's not hard to see that Ford took a great deal of inspiration from the 'cowboy culture' of the American West.
