Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Yogurt Cake
This is 1/4 of Ina's recipe, and it made 5 regular size cupcakes.
sift together (dry):
1/4 c + 2 T flour, 1/2 t baking powder, dash of salt
whisk together (wet):
1/4 c yogurt (I used French vanilla Yoplait yogurt), 1/4 c sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 t zest (I used orange because that is what we had on hand), 1/8 t vanilla
oil: 2 T oil (I used vegetable oil, but have also used olive oil)
1. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
2. Fold in oil until combined.
3. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
4. This only makes 5 cupcakes...if you want the full recipe for a loaf or cake pan, click here.
Ina's recipe has a lovely lemon syrup, but I didn't have any lemons. I split the cupcake and spread some strawberry jam in the center with diced strawberries. I filled and topped one of them with the remaining Yoplait vanilla yogurt.
The lemon sauce would have been great on this, but luckily the fresh California strawberries were nice and tasty.
Since Racheal's big blowout California baby shower was postponed because she is now on modified bed rest for early contractions, I made a small breakfast shower to present her with gifts from friend and former neighbor, Diane and me. Yes, that's the Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt cake I love so much! :)
And if you think Racheal and I just sat around vegging out and eating for a week, you are wrong. We had a book discussion group too! Well, sorta. We watched both BBC's "Colin Firth in his glory" Pride and Prejudice as well as Bridget Jones's Diary. Then we had a lively discussion comparing the two movies that are based on Jane Austen's classic. Deep, in-depth discussions of Mr. Darcy's gaze at Elizabeth while she played the pianoforte, and when Mark Darcy looks at Bridget during her blue soup dinner! And, we discussed the latest issue of People...since we both read it cover-to-cover. Such an academic vacation, no?
If the mom is this cute in these hooded towels, the baby boy is going to be adorable. Before the trip, I took my mom with me to Babies R Us and she was amazed there was a whole wall dedicated to pacifiers...times have changed from cloth diapers!
Thanks Racheal and Lee for letting me stay at your new house! I enjoyed hanging out with you and your three other sons, cats Jake, Elwood and Samson! Can't wait to see you when you visit Los Angeles with your newest Baby Boy in October! Love, Auntie Mary

We consider guidelines on creating a policy for those companies who have a BYOD policy for their employees.
BYOD refers to the policy by which employees can use their own personal mobile devices to access company networks / systems. We consider guidelines on creating a policy. If your business is in the London area, we, at Furuichoi & Co can help you to create a Bring your own device policy (BYOD).
Some employees will prefer to use their own personal mobile device that places the organisation at risk from reputational damage and legal proceedings.
Firms need to have a formal policy with regard to the use of personal devices at work.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) refers to this type of policy - that defines which mobile devices (if any), employees can use to access company networks/systems.
We consider how to structure such a policy, and should be included.
Firms need a policy that sets out the devices which may or may not be connected to its network. It will also need procedures to ensure that non-approved devices can never be 'accidentally' connected. Finally, appropriate mechanisms must be put in place to maintain security over personal data, which may be stored on mobile devices.
The first step is to perform an audit of the current situation. Which devices use the network, and what for?
As the employer (who is the Data Controller) there are obligations under GDPR to take appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.
There is a high risk that confidential corporate and client data can find its way onto personal devices - which are usually not very secure and can be easily lost, or mislaid, or stolen.
Imagine this scenario. An employee receives an email with an attachment containing a mailing list of all clients and their contact details, which they open and save onto their mobile device. If that device then goes missing the data stored on it could find its way into the public domain, or be mis-used, or sold onto a competitor. What's worse is that the Information Commissioner's Office will need to be notified of the loss of data, as will each individual on that mailing list. This can cause major reputational damage as well as a large financial penalty.
Having performed an audit, the second stage is to decide what to include or exclude from a BYOD policy, and this is usually done at device level.
However, strong controls such as mobile device management systems need to be employed with this type of approach.
In an increasing trend, some firms have decided to abandon BYOD and having a zero-tolerance policy, in favour of providing devices to employees.
The firm may wish to restrict access to certain applications – most often to email and internet access only. Full-blown access to networks and applications should be avoided where possible, other than from PCs or laptops and then only via trusted networks or secure remote access tools.
BYOD devices owned by an employee are likely to be used for both business and private purposes.
On the one hand the employee has to be confident that the company will not access personal material stored on the device or use device monitoring tools, whilst on the other hand the company will want to protect corporate and client confidential information which may also be stored (or visible) on the device.
Employers also need to be aware that devices may be used (for personal purposes) not just by the employee, but also by other family members.
The easiest and quickest way for devices to be attached to a network is for employees to use their device to login to a network, wirelessly. Some firms publish their wireless key to employees without realising that they are using the key on all devices including personal devices.
A common method of providing device security is to make the wireless key very strong (i.e. difficult to remember), and only entered into the device by a member of the IT support team, or other nominated individual. Thus control can be maintained at device level relatively easily. However this approach can be very time consuming, depending on the size or complexity of the organisation.
More robust approaches will utilise network hardware to create access control lists against specific devices that must first be registered and therefore approved by the business before they can connect. The advantages of this method allow for auditing and time zone controls such are restricting wireless access to office hours.
Most current versions of network operating software (Windows and Mac) have inbuilt security tools that can be used to maintain a list of "approved" devices.
This is done through a registration process in much the same way as network hardware registration, whereby the device is presented and registered on the network.
If a device gets mislaid or an employee leaves, the device can be blocked/removed from the list of registered devices.
Whilst this approach is useful in blocking unwanted guests and controlling access to network resources the disadvantage is the lack of control when a connecting device is lost or stolen.
A more robust approach to providing device security is to use MDM services - these may either be provided as part of the network operating software, or this service may be provided by a third party.
There are different levels of this type of service ranging from simple registration and device reset services, to sandboxing personal and corporate data, which will allow separate wiping of corporate data only.
Employees will have to agree/consent to whichever mobile device management system is used if they want to adopt BYOD.
Employees must also agree/consent if MDM software is used to monitor the device, the activities that are monitored and whether or not geo-location is used.
Finally, employees will need to understand what will happen to their own personal data stored on the device, in the event the device has to be disabled.
This method has all the benefits of being easy to use, from the end-user perspective, whilst being very secure from the business perspective. The business can also perform operations such as locating devices, should they be lost or stolen, or performing a block and wipe remotely.
A BYOD policy in itself does not provide sufficient safeguards. All confidential/personal data must be encrypted. Just setting a document/spreadsheet as read-only, or creating a password to open the document/spreadsheet is not the same as encrypting the data.
Firms must assess what personal data is being transferred from and to which devices. Then perform a risk assessment of the chances of the data getting into the public domain, and then use appropriate encryption methods to protect that confidential/personal data.
BYOD can either be formulated as a separate policy, added to an existing acceptable use policy, or added to an existing internet and email policy or social media policy.
Company devices, by default, will come under the scope of BYOD.
Employees with their own personal devices should be given the opportunity to opt-out or opt-in to the BYOD policy:-
See our summary for our four easy steps in defining and implementing a BYOD policy.
It is important that the employer (who is the Data Controller) remains compliant with the GDPR with regard to the processing of personal data. In the event of a security breach, the employer must be able to demonstrate that all personal data stored on a particular device is secured, controlled or deleted. Having a BYOD policy will go a long way towards meeting that objective.
If your business is in the London area we are here to help you create a Bring your own device policy (BYOD). Please contact us at Furuichoi & Co for further advice.

Notre Dame vs. Alabama: Star power, power football
Published 9:04 am Monday, December 3, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sport's most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite.
Notre Dame and Alabama bring star power and power football to the BCS championship.
The matchup became official Sunday night when the final standings were released and, to no one's surprise, the Fighting Irish were first and the Crimson Tide was second.
The one bit of drama on college football's selection Sunday was whether Northern Illinois could be this year's BCS buster. The Huskies got in, getting a spot in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, taking a bid away from Oklahoma and sparking heated debate about a system that never fails to tick off fans in some way.
The other BCS matchups:
— Oregon and Kansas State will play in the Fiesta Bowl.
— Wisconsin and Stanford will meet in the Rose Bowl.
— Florida and Louisville are set for the Sugar Bowl.
As for the main event in the penultimate Bowl Championship Series, there was little controversy about No. 1 Notre Dame against No. 2 Alabama in Miami.
"The tradition of Alabama and Notre Dame brings special attention to it, but we're just trying to the best team on Monday, Jan. 7," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Sunday night. "All of that tradition, what's happened in the past, is not going to help us Jan. 7, but we do respect the traditions."
The Irish clinched their spot a week ago in Los Angeles by completing a perfect season against rival Southern California.
Alabama earned its spot Saturday, beating Georgia 32-28 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference title game.
The program that coach Paul Bryant turned into an SEC behemoth in the 1960s and 70s, winning five national championships and sharing another during his tenure, is again dominating college football with a modern-day version of the Bear leading the way in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are on the verge of one of the great runs in history. Alabama would become the first team to repeat as champs since the BCS was implemented in 1998, and it would be the 11th time a team has won consecutive AP titles since the poll started in 1936. Alabama is already one of seven programs to repeat. The Tide has done it twice. Notre Dame is another.
Alabama also won the 2009 BCS championship under Saban. The last team to win three major national titles in four seasons was Nebraska, which went back-to-back in 1994 and '95 and finished No. 1 in the final coaches' poll in 1997.
In a world full of spread-the-field, hurry-up offenses, Alabama is a bastion of traditional football.
The Tide put its no-frills muscle on display Saturday, mashing Georgia with 350 yards rushing.
Eddie Lacy, listed at a conservative 220 pounds, went for 181 against the Bulldogs to up his season total to 1,182 with 17 touchdowns. Freshman T.J. Yeldon has run for 1,000 yards and scored 12 touchdowns.
But this is no 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Both backs average over 6 yards per carry, behind an offensive line anchored by All-American center Barrett Jones, who is nursing a foot injury.
And quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown for 26 touchdowns with only three interceptions.
The Tide has been more potent offensively this season than last to make up for a defense that has slipped, but only a bit. Alabama leads the nation in total defense (246 yards per game) and is second in points allowed (10.7 per game). Linebackers Adrian Hubbard, Nico Johnson, CJ Mosley and Trey Depriest average 242 pounds.
When Brian Kelly was hired at Notre Dame three years ago, he looked at Alabama and the SEC, which has won six straight BCS titles, and decided the Irish needed to play like that.
Kelly built his reputation and winning teams at previous stops on fast-paced spread offenses. In South Bend, Ind., he has put the fight back in the Irish, who have won eight AP national titles — only Alabama has as many — but none since 1988.
Notre Dame has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the country (10) and is sixth overall in total defense (286 yards per game).
"It's clear that the formation of any great program is going to be on its defense," Kelly said. "If you play great defense you've got a chance. For us to move Notre Dame back into national prominence we had to develop a defense."
The face of the Irish isn't a strong-armed quarterback or speedy ball carrier. It's middle linebacker Manti Te'o, a 255-pound offense wrecker with a nose for the ball. The senior has seven interceptions and is a likely Heisman finalist.
Te'o, along with 300-pound linemen Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix, have formed a red-zone wall for the Irish. Late goal-line stands highlighted victories against Stanford and USC.
"There's some pretty physical guys that have some great toughness and some great licks," Saban said in assessing Notre Dame.
While nurturing redshirt freshman Everett Golson, Kelly has leaned on Notre Dame's running game, which averages 202 yards.
"This is just a good all-around football team with tremendous balance on offense and a very physical defense," Saban said.
If Notre Dame, making its first appearance in a BCS championship, is going to break the SEC's strangle hold on the crystal ball trophy, the Irish will try to beat 'Bama at its own game.
And Kelly will try to uphold a Notre Dame tradition, by winning a national title in his third season as coach. Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Lou Holtz all won it all in Year 3 playing in the shadow of the Golden Dome.
Notre Dame will try to become the first team since BYU in 1984 to start the season unranked and win a national title.
Expect plenty of fans to be watching. With the popularity of both programs, the second-to-last BCS title game is expected to be the highest rated ever. Though it might be hard for many fans to choose. While there are plenty of fans tired of watching the SEC win championships, Notre Dame has always been the program people love to hate.
"I don't know if we picked up any more fans along the way," Kelly said.
In two years, college football switches to a four-team playoff to determine its champion. No doubt fans of Florida (11-1), Oregon (11-1), Stanford (11-2) and Kansas State (11-1) wish they could push the start date up on that, but for the most part there isn't much griping about this championship matchup.
Notre Dame is the only undefeated team that is eligible — thanks to Ohio State's NCAA sanctions — and Alabama is the champion of the league that has produced the last half-dozen national champs.
Roll Tide or return to glory? To be determined in South Florida.

No Matter What
I've always liked tests, for the most part. The academic kind, especially, because I've always liked to get gold stars, but I've also always appreciated other kinds of tests, like medical tests, diagnostic tests (not so much those involving needles, but that's a separate issue), too, because they provide information. I like information. I like knowing things. I especially like knowing good things, like that my lungs are healthy or that my reading ability in French is very good or that I'm qualified to teach political philosophy at the university level or that I have good blood pressure. Tests can tell you those sorts of things, or officially confirm them if you know them already. And until this week, I'd never failed a test in my life. This week, for the very first time in my life, I got a test result that I did not expect, and that I did not want. And I didn't like it.
It has occurred to me many times since this past Monday morning, since I got the phone call summoning me to the doctor's office to discuss what I knew would be bad news, that I might have been better off had I never taken any of those prenatal-got-a-healthy-baby? tests that seemed so compelling back when I was convinced that a perfectly healthy baby was a sure thing in this pregnancy. Of course, at the time, I wasn't fully aware of my conviction, but it was there. I might have thought twice about the tests otherwise. Had I known - had I really believed - that I might hear something that I didn't want to hear, I might have given this whole process a lot more thought. I might have thought twice about what would constitute a failure of these tests, and about what I would do if I 'failed.' As it was, I only toyed with thinking about it, and found the thinking about it to be too stressful, and so abandoned the thinking about it, telling myself that I could think about it if or when I needed to, and that in any case I probably wouldn't have to think about it at all, because, hey! the beauty of these tests is that they more often than not tell you that everything is perfectly fine and you get to spend the rest of your pregnancy secure in the knowledge that the odds are all in your favor, that you're probably going to get that perfect baby that you so deserve.
But then I failed the test - ironic that they call the results "positive," isn't it, when one's response is largely so negative? - and had to think about it. I had to think about what I was going to do. Which in turn meant thinking about why, exactly, and to what extent I regarded the test results as a failure. And what it would mean to regard the pregnancy as a possible failure. I had to think thoughts that made my head, and heart, sore. But the conclusion that I came to was this: that this pregnancy cannot be a failure, in the sense that no wanted pregnancy is ever a failure, because no effort to bring life and love into this world is ever a failure, even if it doesn't turn out the way that you expect, or want.
I know - I was and I am treading on dangerous ground here. There's a danger of getting maudlin and unpleasantly sentimental with this line of reasoning, and, more worryingly, of painting conceptionpregnancybirthlife with too romantic a brush, a brush that can all too easily get co-opted into other, more problematic arguments. But I'll stumble on with it, because I'm desperate to make my thinking clear, if only to myself, for my own peace of mind.
I want this baby. We want this baby. And we want it no matter what. I can understand, well understand, why some people are not able to embrace that nomatterwhat. I've seen, close-up, too close-up, a family shatter - cruelly, painfully shatter - because there was a what that mattered, and that what mattered with too much difficulty, and the difficulty of that mattering drove them apart. One can say "no matter what" with all of the optimism of Gilbert Grape wandering into Forrest Gump's neighborhood, but it doesn't change the fact that in real life, this shit is hard, and there's no heart-lifting orchestral score, and nobody gets any Oscars for being an audience-friendly special-needs person with a goofy-but-heartwarming smile, nor for raising one, and not every family would survive it.
I don't know, for hundred-percent certain, that we could survive it. But I know that the odds would be on our side, and that all of the love and the laughter that carries us through the hard times now could probably carry us through some even harder times. And I know that - I believe that - in some important way we have an obligation - because we have been so, so fortunate with that love and that laughter and that family heart that we have so painstakingly built, together - to not withhold that love because of fear. So we're going to have this baby, no matter what, and love this baby, no matter what - because we love him/her already and quote-unquote failures of genes or chromosomes or whatever shouldn't stop that.
This isn't an exercise in nobility; we didn't arrive at this conclusion because of some moral or ethical imperative. This isn't about what we need to do to be good people. It's about what we - us, my husband and I - need to do in order to keep our hearts intact. My heart intact. I already have ghosts; I do not want more ghosts, not of my own making. I am, in other words, too scared for the fate of my heart to make any other decision. And so I cannot regard any of this as a failure. No matter what, there will be a child, and that child will be perfect for us, under whatever terms that god or nature imposes, and there is no failure in that, never, no matter what.
I'm still terrified, though. I don't know what further steps to take, or whether I should just stop taking steps and simply follow the current, whatever direction it takes me. Do I take further tests, knowing how badly they've already upset me? Will I have a happier pregnancy knowing or not knowing? If I am carrying a child with Down's Syndrome, is it better to have that information so that we can prepare in all the ways that we might need to prepare? Or is it better to just enjoy the pregnancy without thinking or worrying - if that's even possible - about how it's going to turn out. If I am committed to believing in the success of this pregnancy, no matter what that success looks like, do the tests matter?
I've already said, I tend to be happiest when I have information, the more the better. But I've never really meaningfully grappled with having information - conclusive information - that I might prefer not to have. I don't want this baby to have Down's Syndrome or any other quote-unquote abnormality - but I will love that baby no matter what. Where does that leave me? Do I want to know more, or do I just proceed on faith in lovenomatterwhat?
I think that I want to know, but truth be told - I am now terrified of the tests. TERRIFIED. Especially of amniocentesis (about which I have to make a decision). I'm terrified of the risk of miscarriage and the needle (oh god) and the pain (they call it discomfort but I don't believe them) and the fear that I will almost certainly feel while waiting for results (because, despite everything I have said here, I am incapable of summoning enough zen to convince myself that the results don't matter.)
Please, please tell me - what did you do? Did you do any tests? Did you have amnio? Why or why not? Were you terrified? Did it hurt? Are you glad that you did, or didn't? I have no idea how to make this decision, and I need all of the help that I can get.

Castaic Tax Relief
Everyone should pay taxes when they reach a certain age and become employed. If you do not perform this duty, you can face civil or criminal liabilities that can be damaging for the rest of your life. This is the reason why you must always be on top of your taxes and not let them get out of control.
However, if you find you are unable to pay your taxes on time, you can take advantage of the IRS's relief programs to make it a bit easier to pay. These relief programs come with set terms and conditions, and documentation is necessary to prove that you qualify for the program.
Considering the various types of tax relief available, it can get very confusing to determine which one fits your situation. Fortunately, you can get help from a tax relief expert who can determine the right tax relief program for you.

How to Get Tax Relief
There are many tax relief programs that taxpayers can receive, such as tax deductions, tax credits, and many others. If you have been a victim of natural disasters, you may be able to receive some tax relief under the tax code.
Tax relief is provided to reduce the tax liabilities of any individual, business, or special group of people affected by natural disasters and other unexpected situations that prevent them from paying their taxes.
Here are the most common forms of tax relief that you can get:
1. Tax deductions – This form of tax relief is made as legal deductions to your taxable income. The most common tax deduction is a home mortgage and the interest connected to it. If you have an $8,000 tax deduction, it will be subtracted from your taxable income.
2. Tax credit – For this type of tax relief, the tax credit comes on top of your standard deduction. Some even consider it as a tax incentive rather than a tax relief because of the savings it provides.
3. Tax exclusions – Under this tax relief, certain types of income are tax-free, so you don't have to include them in your gross income tax report.
4. Tax debt forgiveness – This tax relief is an agreement between the taxpayer and the IRS if the taxpayer wishes to avoid a tax lien. If you qualify for this program, the you will only pay a reduced tax bill and will have a flexible payment plan to get it paid.
There are other tax relief options available for certain purposes that you may want to consider if your situation is not covered by any of the tax relief options above. Some examples of other tax relief options can involve tax relief for rent, insurance, and pension.
By asking the assistance of a tax relief professional, you will be able to determine which tax relief program is perfect for your situation. Our tax relief lawyers at Defense Tax Partners can guide you through these options and help you get them. We can also help you with your taxes, so you are up to date with them and not have any issues in the future.

For a comprehensive understanding and gaining of the knowledge of the casino sites it is important that you go through online casino reviews. Since the internet is flooding with numerous casinos, it is important that you select a right and a legitimate casino website.
Why go through online casino review?
Since the internet is flooding with rogue casino websites, if you do not select a legit site your hard earned money can be wasted.
Popular Casinos: online casinos review mentions only the popular casino websites. It can be said that popularity of a casino is a pre-requisite of being legitimate. Also the popularity is based on the services that it provides to its customers. Casino reviewers take into account the games and the features and the software used in the casinos and how user friendly they are. There are also online casinos that allow you to go through a training period, where you can learn the techniques of the game which are featured at the reviews.
Variety of games: while writing an online casinos review it is kept in mind for the benefit of the players to give as much information as possible on the type of games provided by the casino. Most casino websites offer similar games, but with a help of a review one can make a decision on the quality of the game provided, since quantity becomes immaterial if you are losing. Online casino review helps you to go for a better quality of game and be not misleading by the quantity and the glitz that often the casino sites use to entice players.
Bonuses and payoffs: before joining the gambling spree and having fun, you should consider the bonuses and the pay offs offered by the casino. Reviews of casino online prioritizes their ranking based on the bonuses that the casinos offer to the players. Since more bonuses mean you have more chances of winning money from the casinos. Also the lesser the wager amount of money it is better for the player. As a player you cannot cash your winning amount as soon as you start winning, instead all casinos have a wager limit before you can cash. Reviews let you know the wager amount and the rankings are based on the lesser wager. Even the percentages of payoffs are taken into account, and even those which have lesser registering fee.
Tournaments: Not all casinos offer tournaments as it is difficult to handle such tournaments. Slot As a gamer it is important that you know about such tournaments that casinos offer. Online casinos review will help you to find casino sites that offer such tournaments either at special time or throughout the year.
Site authenticity: as a novice it is difficult to distinguish between a legit and a rogue casino site. Online casinos review helps you to go past the glitz of the available casino sites and select a correct one for yourself. It also ensures that only those site are featured which have been in the business for a long time wand that too without any glitches.

You served your country. Now let your country return the favor with special financing just for veterans. VA loans reward veterans for their service and sacrifice on behalf of our country in a number of ways.
What Is A VA Loan?
VA loans are a special type of home mortgage reserved for active military members and veterans. These home loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and offered by participating approved lenders. VA loans allow eligible veterans and active military personnel to realize their home buying dreams and help existing VA homeowners with money-saving refinance options.
VA Loan Benefits
VA loans are designed to provide long-term home financing to qualified veterans and, in some cases, their surviving unmarried spouses. In many instances, their interest rates can be better than other conventional loans.
VA loans offer a number of advantages over other types of mortgages, including:
- No penalty fee if you pay the loan off early
- No private mortgage insurance requirements
- Less than perfect credit can apply
- VA may be able to provide some assistance if mortgage payment problems arise
Who is Eligible For A VA Loan?
- Active-duty military
- Veterans
- Reservists and members of the National Guard
- Some surviving spouses of veterans
These eligibility requirements are unique to VA loans. In addition to past or present military service, standard home loan criteria like your credit score and income will also play a role in your eligibility.
Certificate of Eligibility
In order to apply for a VA-sponsored loan, you will need to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Your COE verifies to lenders that you meet the requirements necessary to obtain a VA-sponsored loan. Applying for a COE is straightforward and can be done online, through the mail or through a lender.
Active duty military personnel and current National Guard members or Reservists who have never been Federal active service will need to present a current statement of service in order to obtain a COE.
Veterans and current or former National Guard members and Reservists that have been activated for Federal active service will need to present a DD Form 214 confirming their past service.
Get Pre-Qualified For A VA Loan
Let one of our experienced VA financing professionals help you navigate the VA loan process. Get started today.

1 Samuel 16
King James Version
16 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
4 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

Cheap perfume doesn't necessarily mean cheap quality, the definition of fragrance shopping online has turned around since the internet big bang and is constantly changing with so many options from men's cologne brands and niche women's perfume designers out there your chances of finding original perfumes at wholesale prices are really high.

Bellow you will find other important things you should always consider before buying you perfume online.
Product Questions & Answers
Specifications: Check the product specifications as noted by the seller with any important details you should have in mind. Most online stores are like the health and beauty department of your nearest mall or shopping center and will answer your question with a simple email and others will allow customer inquiries directly on the product page.
Description: Examining the product offered is important to understand if it meets your requirements and the best is to find a detailed description that will help you make the right decision.
Customer Reviews: While choosing the right perfume is certainly not a simple task considering the facts to take in mind from personal taste to skin chemistry or the occasion... probably the best way to find what you are looking for is reading customer reviews from people who have experienced the fragrance you are considering to buy.
Stock Availability: Whether it's a new perfume release that you've seen in the latest ad or a long time favorite you have missed and just found again make sure it's available and in stock. Most stores offer pre-orders for upcoming new perfumes or are expecting availability with the "coming in soon" or availability date notification that gets us all excited.
Quantity: Thinking of stocking up on your signature aroma and can't even dare to think it may someday run out of stock and will eventually be nowhere to buy, then consider stock availability and do a quick search for deals or discounts on quantity perfume orders.
Shipping and Delivery options
Delivery: So you have finally found what you are looking for and can't wait to unite you with your items! Most retailers offer a choice of normal and fast shipping with a cost just have in mind, however, that delivery estimates are calculated from the time of dispatch, rather than from the moment you place your order and this varies from each store location. Each product is carefully picked and packed by hand, so the estimates you see when placing an order can vary, particularly during busy times of the year. So if your order isn't dispatched straight away, don't panic!
International delivery: While most stores will meet your international shipping needs with guaranteed time-definite and day-definite worldwide delivery based on your shipment's destination just make sure before and lookup your country so you don't get the dreadful "shipping not available" to your destination! Shipping costs range depending on your location so just use the stores Shipping Calculator to calculate actual cost.
Order with Free Shipping: Whether ordering from a store in your homeland or having it shipped anywhere in the world many stores offer free shipping to the rest of the world with a minimum purchase amount. In some cases only certain items are eligible for free shipping so just look it up.
Click & Collect: Shop online anytime you wish, and collect your purchases at a store of your choice. The best part is, the service is completely free, with no minimum spend required. Order online to collect in store, it's free and easy! Not around to accept a delivery? Or want to avoid any delivery charges that might apply? Then order online to collect locally from any store that is the most convenient for you. As you might imagine this only applies to large chain cosmetics and perfume stores that enables you to shop in a way that suits you.

Pricing: Normally the price of any products will be as quoted on the site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Where applicable these prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due once you have selected a delivery service from the available options.

Sales Tax: Depending on the stores location and your shipping destination when ordering from the US Sales tax is charged on all orders shipping to New York State. Please note that tax is computed at the state level when placing your order. Your actual tax may vary depending upon the county where the product is being shipped. Please note for the rest of the world, customs policies vary from country to country. You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are enforced once a shipment reaches your country.

CO-MINDER™ continuously monitors carbon monoxide (CO) levels. It automatically shuts down the generator before detected CO levels near the generator become dangerously high.
The EB10000 uses Honda's exclusive DAVR (Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator). The DAVR is designed to hold the voltage stability within a +/- 1% range during operation. This provides more consistent power.
The Honda V-Twin engine offers more power, reliability, greater fuel economy and reduced emissions in a more compact package.
The EB10000 has a compact, slim design that can be easily installed on the job site. A centralized exhaust mechanism creates a unique "hot" zone for exhaust and "cool" zone for operation and passage. This design is especially helpful when using multiple units, as they can be easily positioned so as not to impact each others' cooling ventilation.
The Honda EB10000 generator operates at a quiet noise level—73 decibels at 7 meters (equivalent to the noise of a vacuum cleaner). This low noise level is achieved through a large muffler that includes a punching pipe, a perforated mechanism that allows for the smooth release of exhaust gas.
The control panel is positioned on the narrow side of the generator for convenient, easy access to all outlets.
i-Monitor™ provides information on hours of operation, generator output voltage, and battery voltage, as well as diagnostics for convenient dealer servicing.
You can rest easy, knowing your generator is covered from top to bottom for 3 full years.
Wide, positive lock folding handles offer convenient transport and storage and a more compact unit.
The sturdy wheel kit makes the EB10000 easier to transport, even over rough terrain.
The EB10000 runs an impressive 7.9 hours at half load and 5.4 hours at full load.
The EB10000 offers neutral bond and full generator GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Protection) on all outlets.
The EB10000 was designed to meet OSHA requirements, making it ideal for worksite applications.
Helps protect the generator.
Protects the generator by shutting the engine off when low oil is detected.
Protects the generator from being overloaded.
The EB10000 is designed with an easy-to-remove air cleaner and an oil gauge located near the oil filler cap – all elements that allow for ease of maintenance.
Allows for easy battery access and maintenance.

So here, in no particular order are a few people who have made me what I am today, persons with whom I share some small portion of my DNA. Some are odd and others are just interesting.
1. Great Grandma Dorr. Great Grandmother Clara lived in Washington state where she married and had three children. Family accounts say that neither she nor my reat grandfather were great talkers and kind of kept to themselves but when he passed away she raised the children and eventually met another man, Carl Dorr, who lived (if I'm getting the story right) next door to her, or maybe down the street. They courted for quite some time and eventually Carl made his move with a proposal of marriage to the widow. She accepted and they married but never saw the necessity of moving in together. As far as I've heard they lived in separate homes for years, maybe until his death--I'm not sure. It's the first marriage I've ever heard of that started with a separation.
2. Aunt Dolores. Now technically Dolores wasn't related to me at all, she was my great uncle Dave's second wife and she too lived in Washington but they were married for many years before they divorced. Nothing unusual there except that this woman who had such a tenuous connection to the family, who after the divorce didn't have any connection, sent my parents an occasional flat of blueberries as a gift. She never forgot my birthday and every year I'd get a birthday card with a one dollar bill in it from Aunt Dolores--as did my five brothers and sisters. As a child this didn't seem unusual, it was just exciting, but as an adult I can't help but think fondly about this near-stranger who was so thoughtful and never had any children of her own.
3. Hyrum Bowman. Anyone else have a polygamist lurking in their family tree? Good ol' Hyrum married two sisters (which right there floors me--can you even imagine sharing a husband with your sister??) and sired many children. But based on the pictures I've seen I have to hand it to him, the man was pretty darn handsome so perhaps they didn't mind too much.
4. Theodosia Smykalska and Joseph Szonzor. My great great grandparents immigrated to the United States from Poland and there really isn't anything odd about them other than I think Poland is an interesting place to be born. Here's Tessie and Joseph on their wedding day. His name was Szonzor (pronounced "SHAWN-zor") which was lost in the family because immigration changed it to Sherin. Andrew and I always thought that would be the hands-down coolest name to give a child. It would be like naming a kid "Thor, God of Thunder" or "Shazaam!" Can't you just see him introducing himself? "I am Szonzor, Protector of the Universe!" A good name for a superhero.
5. Great Grandpa Sherin. Well Tessie and her husband settled in Washington and their son was my Great Grandpa Sherin who was a lumberjack. Yup, a lumberjack. But not just any lumberjack, he was a uber-manly lumberjack who happened to win competitions with his lumberjack--uh--skills. Whatever those were. Chopping I suppose, or maybe sawing--you know, all those lumberjack things that those guys do. Anyway, Grandma has a picture of him on her wall where he's standing, spread-legged on a giant 18-inch log (that's diameter folks, not length) and he's sawing it, muscles rippling and you can't help but be impressed, especially since I only remember him after the Alzheimer's hit when he was slightly deaf, with large thick glasses and thin white hair. I bet he was something back then.
6. Great Great Aunt Helen. When my Dad was young he went on a trip to Seattle where he was quietly introduced to his great aunt Helen--another child of Tessie and Joseph Sherin and sister to my Great Grandpa Sherin. This was Dad's first encounter with Helen because the family kind of kept her job a secret: she ran a brothel. How juicy is that? They don't even call them "brothels" anymore, somehow "brothel" doesn't sound near as bad as it is. Reminds me of Bothel, Washington. But regardless, isn't she lovely?
7. The Mysterious Aunt Susan. Okay this isn't technically one of my relatives at all but I'm going with it anyway. Andrew comes from a huge family, with ten or twelves aunts and uncles on each side, he has so many cousins he couldn't possibly name them all and hasn't met half of them. This was odd to me because my mother only has one brother and my father has only a brother and a sister, I have 13 cousins total and I know them all fairly well. Many of us grew up together and we still remain close as adults so to have that big of a family and to have the majority of them be strangers is just plain weird. After we were married we visited Andrew's grandmother and she casually mentioned his Aunt Susan. Aunt Susan? What?? Who's Aunt Susan? Apparently he had an aunt who--as an adult--had died in a fire. What what??? I mean I know some families talk more than others but to have an aunt, an adult aunt, whom you'd never ever heard about and who died in such a spectacular, tragic way is just weird. Kind of makes you wonder how many others are hiding in the shadows that he doesn't know about.
8. Great Grandpa Malott. Back at Thanksgiving you may have heard me mentioning our Mayflower roots. Yes, yes, so impressive--but what you don't hear me talking about as much is the other side of the family, my mom's side, where it's Hillbilly Heaven. My grandpa's family came from the Ozarks in Arkansas and as far as I understand lived in pretty much abject poverty through the first quarter of the 1900s. Yes, apparently my family is the one upon which The Grapes of Wrath was based. The whole thing is really very odd because my great grandfather Walter, the head of the family, was a university-educated man (a rare thing back then) who had been trained in theology. No one has yet explained why he'd take his family to get back to nature so thoroughly but that's what he did--don't they just look like the Joads?
9. Grandpa Malott. In fact, he was so successful at ruralizing (is that a word?) his family that my Grandpa Malott (the story goes) didn't own a pair of shoes until he was 14 when he ran away from home in Arkansas to join up with the army and seek his fortune (you see in the photo? No shoes). I'm glad he did because I don't think I'd like to be barefoot in the hills right now. His name was Odie. Have you ever met anyone named Odie? Nope, except for my grandfather, me neither.
10. The rest of the Malott clan. So you're getting the idea that the Malott branch was always a little "touched" shall we say? Grandpa had a whole bunch of brothers and sisters and I think I heard that one of them ran off and eloped with some guy to start a hippie commune out in California. I remember meeting Great Grandma Malott as a child and being absolutely terrified. She looked something like the villainess in The Emperor's New Groove only without any attempt at glamor--very skinny and hawk-like. Interesting things, families.
11. These mystery men. As I've said I have a couple family photo albums that the kids like to look through and the first time I saw these pictures I couldn't help but think, "Now there are some handsome relatives." I have no idea how we're related but they had to have improved the gene pool don't you think? I didn't think that hunky had been invented way back during World War I. Tell me the guy on the left isn't Luke Skywalker. He wrote on the back of his picture, "I'm not going into aviation, there's no future in it." So maybe he only had his good looks.
13. Captain John Underhill. He was a Revolutionary War hero that got himself made into a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier. Or maybe it was the Pequot War, I can't remember. It just makes me laugh because, if you've seen the movie Fletch, it gives me the privilege of saying "put it on the Underhill's bill."
