Ingredient derived from plant species Chamomilla recutita, Matricaria recutita, and Matricaria chamomilla. Chamomile tea, brewed from dried flower heads, has been used traditionally for medicinal purposes. The main constituents of the flowers include phenolic compounds, primarily the flavonoids apigenin, quercetin, patuletin, luteolin, and their glucosides.
The principal components of the essential oil extracted from the flowers are the terpenoids a-bisabolol and its oxides and azulenes, including chamazulene. Chamomile has moderate antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and significant anti-platelet activity in vitro. Animal model studies indicate it may have potent anti-inflammatory action, some antimutagenic and cholesterol-lowering action, as well as antispasmotic and anxiolytic effects. [1, 2]
Adverse reactions to chamomile, when consumed as a tisane or applied topically, have been reported among those with allergies to other plants in the daisy family. [3]

The Bible says so: Leviticus 20:13 reads, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Clearly, an abomination tells you God's opinion of the homosexual. Paul also mentions in Romans 1:27, "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." This error that they are paid back with in their bodies is clearly a prediction of AIDS. The Bible warned man ahead of time the problems with sodomites.
...When some gay men inflitrated the Catholic Church to become Priests so they can sodomize and abuse innocent children in the name of Divine Authority.
But if God hates gay people, He must surely hate drug smugglers and bankers even more.
However since drug smugglers and bankers ran amok unabaited without persecutation, it must be true that He doesn't hate them.
Only gay people, black, minorities and Mormons.
Of course, we all know that God has never personally said anything about these issues Himself. It's not like He has a cable channel like Oprah.
But of course God hates gay people...Evangelicals in America said so.
Who would you believe? God or the Evangelicals?
Because our God is loving and forgiving, he acknowledges the fact that we are sinners, but CHOOSES to love us anyway. Because homosexuality is a lifestyle and mindset, it is not a sin that you can 'accidentally' make or something you immediately regret or repent from. It is a conscious decision to put your desires before what God asks of you. If you can grasp the fact that it is morally wrong, then you would not continue to act upon your sexual desires. You would be disgusted by the fact that your entire mindset is overall displeasure to God. He loves gays, themselves, but not the decision they made to accept their sexual desires. Same goes for all sinners.

Same goes for all sinners.
God is perfect. We can only understand so much of his truth with our finite minds. God can love us and hate us at the same time. There phrase " God hates the sin not the sinner" is erroneous. Homosexuality is not just sin, it is a lifestyle of sin. People can say that God created them that way, that they had no choice. First God created Adam and Eve, Who committed the original sin. When that sin was committed the world became tainted and things like homosexuality were able to come into existence. Homosexuals can choose to act on their lust and "natural" attractions or not. Granted they may have to go through more tribulation with sexuality but the bottom line is a Gay person can be saved, but a saved person does not live to sin( lifestyle of sin). I would say the same of anyone who had a sex addition and who acted out that addiction. In this case either could be saved by God's grace through faith, and it doesn't mean they would stop their sinful lifestyle right away, the difference , especially in the beginning would be how they felt about their sinful lifestyle. Again Great spiritual tribulation for either case. "God loves you no matter what" well that is true and that is why he ultimately sacrificed his Son, but that doesn't mean he can't hate you and it doesn't mean that Sinners will be welcomed into the kingdom. " Christians sin" This is true and If anyone says otherwise they are liars, but there is a difference in sinning and being a sinner. We will all sin as long as we are bound to our sinful flesh, the difference is again that a sinner lives to sin, if you are a active homosexual you are living to sin, you choose what you feel is natural to you instead of what God calls you to do. Your putting your own idolatry above God. Bottom line God Hates Gay people as much as he hates all sinners perfectly( living for sin, fulfilling their "wants" instead of Gods) But he also loves everyone perfectly and with his grace through our faith we all can be saved. Repentance is not a condition to salvation rather it is a symptom of salvation. When you accept salvation with true faith you will repent from your sin, it will disgust you and you will want to live your life for God. God never promised it would be painless, I think the paths that we see his followers walked in the bible make whatever we could possibly go through look like cake.
If God actually did hate people, then he would have stopped making gay babies and he wouldnt have made all gay people look so cute too.... Like ive never seen a gay person who didnt look like he/she came out of a shampoo commercial whereas Ive seen straight people so ugly that they almost made me turn gay....
God hates the sins of the world, yet not the people who engage in sin. He sent his son to die for the sinners because he hated to see them suffering because of sin. He hated sin so much, that he wanted to prove that He unconditionally loves the sinner.
God created us exactly how he wanted us to be and loves us no mater what. If he hated gays he would stop making them. God loves everyone. God doesn't like people who are not christ like and it isn't very christ like to be extremely cruel and mean to gays regardless of your beliefs
Many reasons here
If God is so powerful that he can do anything he pleased, he would have gotten rid of homosexuality or never created the characteristic in the first place. Another reason here could be that God created homosexuality for a purpose, perhaps population control. Yes, it does say in the bible that it is an abomination for man to lie with man, woman to lie with woman etc, but it isnt very clear by what it means. It does not specifically say that two man cannot be in love, the same for woman. It also says in the bible that God has unconditional love for each and every one of us, so if God did not love everyone, Gay or not, then what would be the point of believing the one book which is meant to be his word.
A person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or asexual do not choose it. It is who they are, and if their natural preference cannot be accepted by other people who find it too disturbing to exist, then my hope for a non-judgemental humanity is lost. If you believe that any of those preferences are a choice made by someone, then go ahead, you try and become gay for the day. Its not that easy is it. Now how about you got discriminated against for being heterosexual and got told that it was a choice you made, and that you were wrong?
If you dont like the fact that the lgbtqia community exists, then just remember that we have no plans whatsoever to try and convert anyone to join our 'club', but thats not the case for you people who knock on people's doors, preaching hate about us. I dont preach hate about anyone. I just want to live my life without being judged for who i am by everyone at school and being hated by girls who spend more time saying God hates me than they do actually paying any attention to their faith. Why can't the world be thankful that love exists and that love will be the most wonderful thing to have in your life. We should be encouraging every form of the same love, then everyone would be happy and not waste their time on judging ither people's love
A lot of the people here are saying that the Catholic Church teaches being gay is a sin- it doesn't. The Catholic Church teaches that it is fine to be gay, but because gay sex obviously doesn't lead to procreation, it is a sin. That's the official teaching of the church, of course the church is filled with old geezers who wouldn't open to, dare I say it- an openly gay priest! BUT there's nothing in the catechism to say that if indeed the priest was gay, he couldn't be a priest. The church calls homosexuals to refrain from the act of homosexuality which personally I believe is unfair but its better than the notion that if God creates you gay, even if you never act on it, you're still going to hell. The world 'Catholic' means universal, therefore, they can hardly reject 10% of the worlds population from their prayers and from being on the receiving end of God's love and goodness. Now onto Christianity in general, all Christians should know and be able to say the Nicene Creed, IT DOESN'T MENTION HOMOSEXUALITY!!! God does love gays because God is good and he doesn't hate anyone, he loves everyone, think the prodigal son (not that homosexuality is turning away from God). And for those idiots with your absolute morality waving the letters of St Paul in the air with fervent rage- we are not StPaulians WE ARE CHRISTIANS- therefore we follow Christ who's words speak for all time, not just one saint who was heavily influenced by the social context of his time, therefore NOT EVERYTHING THAT PAUL SAYS HAS TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY. If you love God, he loves you. If you don't love God, he loves you.
If there is a God, I do not think that he hates gay people. God is forgiving and understanding. Sometimes bad things happen to gay people and they are struggling for basic human rights. But sometimes bad things happen to straight people and other people have fought and still continue to fight for individual rights..I think that if there is a God, that he cares for each and every person equally.
He hates backstabbers though, and people who are mean to each other as well as people who use religion as a way to bully people. All in all, God and many Christians are on my ish list. I mean where is God when things go wrong? Sitting on His a@@ blessing Republicans. PFFT!
God's nature is love. I believe that Jesus Christ came to die for my sins as much as He did to die for gays' sins as much as He did to die for atheists' sins as much as He did to die for murderers' sins because He loves them and wants them to be saved no matter what they did.
God is loving and loves everyone, no matter how bad you are and what awful things you might have done. Since Christians disagree with homosexuality, we tend to be more hateful and discriminatory towards them. God says that he loves them and that we should too. We just have a harder time showing love when we disagree with people. We should be witnesses to the world, not hating but making friends and building relationships, no matter if we are in disagreement with that person.
God hates sin, not sinners. He loves sinners. Why would one specific sin make Him hate you? He sent His Son to die for you, no matter what you've done. I don't know where the popular saying "God hates fags" came from, but it wasn't from the Bible. God is love.

You will build all the walls directly on the empty floor.
- Read this post first if you want to build your shed with 8ft wall height.
- If you're going to build your shed on a concrete slab read this post to learn about anchor bolt placement and to find out how to make your shed 3 inches taller.
You'll want to build the shorter walls first so you can move them aside and use the floor space to build the longer and heavier walls in place. Here I'm assuming the gable end walls are the shorter and therefore lighter walls.
If not go to Step 4b and build the sidewalls first, move them aside, then come back here to build the gable end walls in place.
4a: Gable end walls
See Figure 4a and Table 2:
Measure and cut the wall studs and plates for the gable end walls. Layout the top and bottom plates at 24" O.C. and drill two 1/8 inch pilot holes for each stud.
Frame The Gable End Walls:Lay the wall studs on the floor spaced 24 inches apart and attach each stud to the top and bottom plates with two 3 inch screws or 16d nails.
Place Spacer Under Truss: Lay a truss on the floor touching the top plate with the collar beam facing down and slide a 1/2 inch spacer underneath the collar beam.
This will bring the truss up level with the top edge of the top plate.
Attach Truss: Drill 1/8 inch pilot holes through the outer ends of the top plate and secure the tips of a truss to the top plate with 3 inch screws.
The truss and top plate should be flush at the top edge of the top plate.
This screw is not for strength, it's just to keep the truss in position until it's nailed to the siding.
Check for square by comparing the diagonal measurements.
Sheet The Walls: Make sure the siding is square to the frame with 4 inches overhanging below the bottom plate.
Nail with 8d galvanized nails every 8 inches.
Snap a chalk line along the center of the top and bottom plates to identify those nail lines, and snap another line across the top of the truss and trim the excess siding.
Also trim the ¾ inch lip overhanging one edge.
Attach Handles: Attach scrap pieces of 2×4's to the wall about knee high with 3 inch screws to make the walls easier to move.
This way you can stand the wall up vertically and have more control when you are ready to attach it to the floor and to the other walls.
For 10 & 12 wides only: If you're building 10 or 12 wide gable end walls you'll need to splice a three to six inch scrap of siding to the top of the truss.
This is because the 10 and 12 wide sheds are also a little bit taller.
Line the grooves on the scrap up with the grooves on the end wall and nail it in place.
Build The Second Gable End Wall:
If you're going to put a door in this wall then proceed to Step 5 for instructions on how to frame a door into this wall.
Set this wall aside to make room to build the sidewalls.
4b: Side (or eave) walls
See Table 2 and Figures 4b, 4c, and 4d:
The side walls have different measurements than the gable end walls. Measure and cut the wall studs and plates per Table 2 and Figures 4b, 4c, and 4d. The studs on these sidewalls are cut with an angle on the top end and the length measurement is at the short side of the angle.
Make sure you build the sidewalls with the short side of the stud on the outside of the wall where the siding will be nailed. You do this by laying the studs down on the floor with the short side up in all cases.
Installing a door in a sidewall
If you are going to put a door in one of the side walls then proceed to Step 5 for instructions on how to frame a door into this wall. Build the blank wall first then build the door wall on top of it.
See Figure 6: Layout and drill pilot holes:
Layout the top and bottom plates at 24" O.C. and drill two 1/8 inch pilot holes for each stud. These plates are 7 inches shorter than the overall wall length because they will sit inside the gable end walls. So when you lay these side walls out, the end studs will be 3 1/2 inches closer to the next stud than with the gable end walls as per Figure 6.
Attach the bottom plate: Lay the wall studs on the floor (with the short side up) spaced about 24 inches apart.
Attach each stud to the bottom plate with two 3" screws or 16d nails.
See Figure 4c, Spacer detail: Before you attach each stud to the top plate put a 1/4 inch spacer below the end of the stud to raise it up so that the the stud will be in proper alignment with the corner of the top plate so that the siding will lay flat.
Lay a scrap of wood along the stud extending past the top plate to double check that this spacing is correct.
Sheet walls: Make sure the siding is square to the frame with a 4 inch overhang at the bottom plate.
Snap a chalk line along the center of the top and bottom plates and along the outermost two studs to identify those nail lines.
Nail with 8d galvanized nails every 8 inches.
Snap a chalk line, then trim the ¾ inch lip overhanging the ends. There will be no overhang on 10 wide ends.
Top Cut Line: Measure and mark from the bottom of the siding and snap a chalk line to mark the top cut line.
Cut this excess siding off which will leave a 3 1/2 inch overhang at the top plate.
Build the second sidewall: Leave this finished wall in place and build the next wall directly on top of it.
Paint Now?
Now that all the walls are complete you might want to paint the walls and trim while you can work on them laying horizontally. They will be much easier to paint this way.

Features Of These Sheds
|General notes:
The biggest difference between these shed plans is the roof line. All sheds can be built with roof trusses and wall studs 16 or 24 inch O.C. and floor joists 12 or 16 inch O.C. and use 2 to 5 skids in the foundation. All of the sheds can be built taller or shorter and doors installed anywhere you like.
These are the most versatile plans because they offer so many size and height options.
And it has a low profile with no complicated trusses to build.
This is one of the easiest sheds to build because it uses a simple truss design and small but easy to build overhang options.
These sheds look great!
And the higher roof pitches offer additional overhead storage in an easy to build loft area.
The barn style shed is very tall and might block yours or your neighbors views.
However if you can manage the barn style shed looks great and provides lots of additional storage if you build the optional loft.

Which Plans Should You Buy For Your New Shed Project?
Are you thinking about buying some shed plans but are confused and don't know which ones to buy?
I will explain the similarities and difference between my 4 shed plans to help you in deciding which one is best for your new shed project.
The Main Differences Between These Plans Are
Roof Line
The most obvious difference in these plans is the roof lines. 2 of the plans are gable style roof, 1 is barn style or gambrel roof line and one is the single slope, lean-to style or flat roof.
Roof Pitch
The regular gable shed plans have 3 roof pitch options; 3:12, 4:12 and 5:12. The deluxe shed plans also have 3 roof pitch options of 3:12, 6:12 and 12:12. So the deluxe plans are good if you need a steep pitch for snow or leave fall off.
The barn roof pitch is fixed for the upper and lower half of the roof. The lean style roof is fixed at 1.5:12. So it's good in low clearance situations or where the overall heigh is an issue.
Roof Materials
All the shed plans except the lean to style use shingles on the roof. The advantage of shingles is that they're relatively easy to install, economical and come in a wide variety of colors and textures and have a lifespan of up to 30 years. And you can easily match the roof on your home if necessary.
The lean to style sheds have too shallow of a roof pitch for shingles so they use either rolled mineral roofing or metal. Metal is a little more expensive but it's fast and easy to install and has a life span of 50+ years.
Eave Overhang
There are 2 types of eave overhangs available in these plans. The simple 2-6 inch overhang and the full 12+ inch overhang. The 2 inch overhang is just the trim and a small overhang on the OSB. The 4 to 6 inch version is a 2×4 or 2×6 turned on edge.
The regular gable roof plans only offer the simple 2-6 inch overhang but the lean to and barn plans can be build with the either the 2-6 inch overhang or a full 12 inch overhang. The deluxe shed plans only offer the full 12 inch overhang.
Maximum Length
With the regular gable and the lean to style plans the longest shed you can build is 20 ft. This is because they use a single top plate and 20 feet is the longest 2×4 you can buy. And with the single top plate it can't be spliced to make longer. If you want a shed thats over 20 ft long then you can use either the tall barn style plans or the deluxe plans. Both of these can go up to 32 ft in length. But you can make it as long as you like.
Maximum Width
The gable roof and lean to style plans are limited to 12 ft in width because they use a simple truss or rafter design. If you want to build over 12 ft wide then the tall barn and deluxe plans go up to 16 ft in width because they use a stronger but more complicated truss design.
Degree Of Difficulty To Build
The regular gable roof shed plans are the easiest and most economical to build because the walls are symmetrical and there are no complicated trusses to build or fancy overhang options. Trusses and overhang can are very time consuming in the shed building process.
The lean to sheds aren't symmetrical but the rafters are strait without any cut outs and you can build it with either the simple 2-6 inch overhang or the more complicated full 12+ inch overhang.
Barn style trusses are easy to build but the added difficulty is working on the roof because of the increased pitch and greater overall working height. But you can build it with either overhang option.
The Deluxe shed is the most difficult to build because it doesn't offer the simple overhang option, only the full 12 inch overhang. And the the trusses are more complicated because of the increased pitch and the 14 and 16 ft width options. And like the tall barn style shed, working on the deluxe roof is more difficult because of the steeper pitch and greater overall working height.
What They Have In Common
Now lets talk about what the plans have in common.
All of the sheds can be built on either a wood floor or concrete slab. For wood floors I have recommend 2×4's at 16 inch on center for floors up to 8 ft wide, and 2×6's 16 inch on center for floor over 8 ft wide. But you can make a stronger floor by using 12 inch centers and or 2×8's floor joists.
Wall Stud And Truss Spacing
I recommend 2×4's at 16 inch on center in the walls but you can use 24 inch centers for smaller sheds. I recommend trusses and rafters to be placed at 24 inch on center for sheds up to 12 ft wide, and 16 inch centers for sheds over 12 ft wide.
All sheds include instructions to frame for prehung doors and windows, or to build your own single or double door in any width or height and in any location, or build multiple doors.
All plans include instructions to build a ramp.
Estimate Cost To Build
All plans come with a materials list so you can calculate the cost to build it before you make that final commitment and start buying materials.
Instant Download
All plans are available in PDF format by instant download. When you click on the buy-now link you'll be taken to a payment page. After paying you will almost instantly receive a download link in the email address associated with your paypal account or your credit card.
How Does The Download Process Work?
Sometimes your email and your browsers will not work properly together so you will have to cut the link from the email and paste it into a browser. That solves most of the issues.
But remember where you download the plans otherwise you will not be able to find them on your computer when you need them. Most people use the default download folder.

Hattie Carnegie was born Henrietta Kanengeiser in Vienna, moved to America and borrowed the steel king's name before diving into fashion. View Enlarged Image
No one could accuse Henrietta Kanengeiser of thinking small.
Before her first fashion job, the Austrian immigrant changed her name to Hattie Carnegie in admiration of wealthy Andrew Carnegie.
"It was a tribute to someone who she really upheld," Nancy Deihl, director of New York University's master's program in costume studies, told IBD. "It was also a career move, about becoming American, but also becoming a prominent American. It was kind of canny and sweet at the same time."
Carnegie (1889-1956) couldn't sew, cut or sketch.
Yet her fashion and business savvy enabled her to turn a hat shop into a wholesale and retail clothing and accessory empire that set the standard for American high fashion for three decades.
The tiny woman from the shadow of Europe's Alps adapted French haute couture for American tastes, helped establish fashion as a major American industry and helped turn New York City into the world's fashion capital.
She trained superstars Norman Norell and Jean Louis and clothed Hollywood's Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich for their films.
A tireless worker, she showed that a woman could successfully run a major company in a fiercely competitive business in an era when men called the shots.
America The Beautiful
"We have the loveliest women in the world in this county, and wherever there are beautiful women there will be beautiful clothes," Carnegie once said. "To show the American woman ... to (her) best advantage — that has always been my aim, and that is my real biography."
Carnegie was born the second of seven children in Vienna. After a fire destroyed their home, her father, Isaac, moved the family to New York in 1892.
Isaac died when Hattie was 13. That forced her to quit school and help support her family with work in the millinery.
"Her deal was millinery. She love hats," said Sheryl Farnan Leipzig, apparel and textiles program coordinator at Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, Mo.
In 1909, with friend Rose Roth, she opened a shop called Carnegie-Ladies Hatter. Roth made dresses; Carnegie designed hats and took care of customers.
"Her father had tailoring skills, but Hattie wanted nothing to do with that," said Leipzig. "Tailoring was not a glamorous profession. Neither was dressmaking. She wanted to be the boss. The boss didn't always get to be the creative one. The boss hires the right people to execute all the creative work."
Milton Friedman constantly illustrated how free markets work. He would hold up a yellow wooden pencil and begin: "There's not a single person in the world who can make this pencil." The 20th century's apostle of capitalism would then explain: No single person on earth has the expertise, ability and ...

Going forward is purported to mean, "In the future" or "somewhere down the road" when in fact it is an attempt to dodge the use of these words, which generally indicate "I don't know". A newer development in corporate doublespeak, in most companies it is grounds for dismissal to release a press release without mentioning something 'going forward'. Going forward, you will likely see this turning up everywhere.
Our company expects to make a profit going forward.
We don't expect any layoffs going forward.

The feeling of sudden and impending doom after receiving a gift from a coworker or classmate who gave you a gift in spite of the fact that you have nothing in common except that you are coworkers or classmates. This gift is always generic, pointless, useless and frequently related to some sort of poshlust fad.

I would not recommend David's Bridal due to the poor customer service and lack of knowledge on the part of the consultants. I scheduled an appointment for a Wednesday morning because the website suggested booking on a weekday. When I arrived, I was told that we could look through the racks of dresses, but that we could not take any off. After about 30 minutes of looking and waiting with my family, the consultant finally came to ask me a few questions about what I was looking for and my budget. I assumed she would use this information to pull some dresses for me, but this was not the case. She allowed us to select 3 dresses and brought them to a dressing room. It was then that I realized she was working with another bride at the same time. We were the only two brides in the store and there were other consultants, yet she had both of us. It was 45 minutes into the appointment before my mother and grandmother were finally given chairs (only after we asked) and I was finally put into my first dress. The consultant was so busy that she was only doing the bare minimum to help me. She would zip me in and out of the dresses and run off to the other bride. None of the dresses that I liked from online were available in the store, and the consultant never pulled any dresses on her own. I only tried on the original 3 that my family and I selected out of the many on the racks. I did like one of the dresses and was given some information about ordering it. After I got dressed again and was about to leave, needing more time to think about the decision, the consultant stopped me to inform me that the particular dress I liked was actually on clearance. This meant that if I ordered it, it would not be made for me. She said that they might not have it in stock in my size, and if they did then it might be a sample dress that was not in good condition. She could not say for sure what condition the dress would be in until it arrived. Needless to say, I was not willing to pay $1,000 for t
I went into David's for my wedding dress. I didn't have much of a set image in my mind and they were still completely accommodating. I ended up falling in love with a dress I would never have taken a second look at normally. The only downfall is that alterations are NOT included in the price of the gown.
I went to this location numerous times to look for my dream dress. I knew the style I wanted to try on, but wanted to try on 1 or 2 different styles just in case. They were always very pleasant on the phone, and in person. The reason they got a 3/5 from me is because I felt very rushed each time I was there (with an appointment) and once I even had to have another bride's mother help me into a dress because I was there alone and the lady helping me just dropped off my dresses and left. I never had that "ring the bell" moment, but perhaps I could have if I had a little more help finding my dress. I took my business elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.
I bought by bridesmaid dresses here, but I decided to purchase online because the service was HORRIBLE. When I arrive my attendant was still helping a previous bride, so they sent me and my bridesmaids to pick out our own dresses - that was fine, but twenty minutes later I still didn't have an attendant. So with all dresses in tow I was finally let into a dressing room. Still no attendant. Later a different lady stopped by but every time we asked for something she would disappear for way too long (like 10 minutes in a store not big enough to warrant her being gone that long for a 60 minute appointment). It was clear they were way overbooked and all the poor attendants were tired. I did not feel special here, and I doubt you will either. Although I did find a dress I liked, none of the ladies here were even remotely helpful and we hung out in a back corner doing everything ourselves. When I came out to the center of the store you'd see three our four brides vying for space in front of the mirrors. It was atrocious, those poor girls probably felt terrible not having their own space. Do not get your bridal dress here unless you absolutely cannot afford something nicer, the dresses were shoddy and the girls are overworked.
My husband was with me when I picked up a dress I thought I wanted to wear for our wedding months and months before the planning had even started. Then one day I had decided I wanted to surprise him with seeing me walk down the isle in something new and amazing! So I just walked right into Davids bridal to find my dress. Now they take reservations, its important to have one, but I came on a lucky day they had an opening so I got squeezed in. They measured me took me to size in their store and then the woman helping me just asked me what I wanted and thought about wearing what fabrics I was comfortable in along with what budget I wanted to work with. We picked out 4 dresses and I tried them all on but got stuck between 2. So to help me decided the woman helping me dressed both dresses up with a veil, jewelry and sash and when she did that I just knew the dress I wanted. It was that easy. People always I felt looked at me like I should know what a bride is suppose to do , when it feels like you are completely blind, its just something you figure out along the way but having her help me was a little weight off my shoulders.
After placing my order for the dress, and sash. I simply scheduled a day for the bridesmaids to come in that easy same thing with the girls and then I did my first fitting with altering and my final fitting . It was that easy and though my dress and everything that came with it was expensive there are more afforable dresses. Its all about what you want as a bride and what are you are comfortable in.
This place was absolutely horrible. It was the first place I went to try on wedding dresses. I was so excited and happy to be there until I started to try on dresses. The lady who "helped" me didn't even let me pick out my own dresses to try on. She pushed me into the fitting room and told me to wait in there until she came back. She came back with the most awful dresses I have ever seen but I tried them on anyway and they looked even more awful on. She kept telling me how beautiful i looked...really lady? I tried on four dresses that I hated and that I DIDNT pick out and then she told me to make another appointment to come back. I was there maybe 30 mins total and didnt even get to look at or try on any dresses I wanted to. She said she was going to get her business card. I ran out the door before I had to see her again. I will never go back to this place ever again. I almost left in tears.
When I went in to find my dress I was worried I wasn't going to be able to find anything within my budget, however, the lady that was working with me had me in a dress that I absolutely loved by the 3rd dress. She was wonderful in helping me with getting the dress, veil, and telling me the size heel I needed in order for the dress to look good.
The alterations department also did a wonderful job in helping me. They were willing to add a bustle for my train for the reception while also taking in my dress a lot. The day I was supposed to go in to pick it up they called me to let me know I could come in earlier if I needed to. They were very helpful.
Ashley was a great consultant. Between her and my matron of honor we found a dress that I normally would have never tried on but they made me try it on and I fell in love with it.
My bridal party was dressed from Davids. The dresses were beautiful and the alterations department did a great job. The thing that really made them stand out is 2 hours before my wedding I was without a veil, I ran in and they rushed around to find a dress like mine so we could find a veil to match. I really appreciated that the lady at the front desk dropped everything and practically ran to help me find a veil. I wish I had gotten her name so I could thank her again!
When I first got engaged, I started browsing online to find the perfect dress. I knew I didn't want to break the bank on a dress I would only wear one time, but I still wanted to find something that made me feel like a bride on my wedding day. David's helped make that possible. Setting up an appointment and trying on dresses was the easy part. The consultant we had was absolutely amazing! Her name escapes me now and I feel completely awful as she was so amazing and made the appointment fun for myself and my mom and girlfriends that came with us. She managed to zero in on exactly the type of dress I was looking for and was well within my budget. We were able to overcome some minor roadblocks when it came to alterations. Overall, I think that they did a fair job and the women that I dealt with were pleasant to work with.
I had concerns about going to David's Bridal after reading some reviews, but with only 6 days until my wedding I didn't have too many options! I had to wait a little for assistance when I arrived, but once I met with my consultant things went so smooth! I really can't say enough good things about Jill, the consultant I worked with. With only 6 days before my wedding, I knew I was asking a lot to find a dress that would fit perfect without alterations, and that I would love. The store was crazy busy, but within 45 minutes I had a beautiful dress that I can't wait to wear! She listened to my list of wants, my price range, and made it happen. I have nothing but awesome things to say about the store and Jill!
David's Bridal worked for me. I didn't find the staff particularly helpful while looking for a dress, but considering my wedding was 10 days away, I was able to buy one at a very good price off the shelf. I fell in love with another dress, but wasn't excited about the cost of tailoring and didn't trust them to have it done in time for my wedding. On a positive note, when I came back to purchase a bra, they were on point. I had a horrible experience finding a bra at 5 other stores. They were able to help me find exactly what I needed.
Please keep in mind the closest store (Military Circle, Norfolk, VA) is a 3 hour round trip drive and $26 in tolls for each trip.
Trip 1: Was "sold" a veil with dress, to find out at time of pickup they do not include veils with dresses. However when purchasing the dress the sales attendant requested the veil to be tried on and that "it comes with the dress".
Trip 2: Visited store with a bridesmaid while she got fitted and purchased bras/undergarments. Also was sent with incorrect bras/undergarments in bag, found out when got home. During this visit witnessed store associate state "I will never get out of here if people don't stop calling or coming in the door".
Trip 3: Made appointment to pickup dress and to pickup flower girl dress, shoes and accessories for bridal party. Store was packed, associates were overwhelmed, I was left in store standing in heavy/big dress with no assistance. Also found out about veil not being a part of the dress mentioned in Trip 1.
Trip 4: Returned to store with dress after my mother, a professional seamstress, was starting to work on dress to find out the dress was previously altered and had stains underneath. This made us believe the dress was previously worn and/or made for someone else. Keep in mind this dress was a special order from the manufacturer at the time of order.
After the first issue on Trip 1 the Store Manager was very apologetic, offered a discount when we returned to exchange the mis-packaged bras/undergarments and also offered a discount for anything else needed for the bride or wedding party.
After the issue on Trip 2, a call was placed to the Store Manager, she didn't seem to be very concerned that we were mis-sold an item and there was nothing which could be done about it. She also claimed there is nothing they can do if the store gets full and attention can not be provided to someone who makes an appointment. (What is the purpose of making an appointment????)
Showed up early for my appointment, manager agreed to take me early. Staff was very nice and patience. It took me three appointments to find my dress but I finally got it.
While the process of dress shopping went pretty smoothly and my consultant was friendly and genuinely seemed to want to help me, the rest of David's Bridal's service is severely lacking. Each time I needed to go in for one reason or another, it took at least five minutes or more to be helped. I often had to stand at the front counter waiting for someone to acknowledge my presence. If there were more options in my area for inexpensive dresses, I would definitely have shopped there.
Many people complain that David's Bridal is not personal, I had the exact opposite experience. I went to the David's Bridal in Norfolk and was warmly greeted by the girl at the welcome table. Jessica D. was amazing in finding dresses to match the style I was looking for and ultimately matched me with the gorgeous Vera Wang Georgette Mermaid. Karin in alterations took my dress and made it perfection..as if it was made specifically for me. She was flexible with appointments and met every expectation, going above and beyond to make me feel beautiful. It was the best experience I could have hoped for in finding the perfect dress. Thank you!!!

Historical Traveler Reviews Bilderberg Garden Hotel Amsterdam
In a quiet area
This hotel is situated in a quite residential area, but in the recent heat wave was a little too far to walk to all of the attractions.
Better to take a canal boat from the Riksmuseum. Rooms are clean, spacious and quiet but no real views. A quiet canal bank is two minutes away, we watched herons fishing. The hotel is in need of refurbishment in it s public areas; the foyer and dining room have a 70's look and although in the hot weather we could dine outside , the tables were under a white wooden canopy which needs a coat of paint plus some new light bulbs:behind a screen is the remaining half of the pavement car park. Breakfast was a little below what we expect of 4*No marmalade and the hot buffet not very freshly cooked or really "hot".We enjoyed our stay, but have had better breakfasts in other 3*/4* hotels
Lovely Hotel
I recently stayed at the Bilderberg Garden for 4 nights and found it to be an altogether lovely hotel. The rooms were clean, the sheets crisp and the bathtub generously sized. The staff was uniformly pleasant and very helpful with everthing from making a dinner reservation to finding the nearest tram. We had a pretty good deal, stay 3 nights and get the fourth free, which included the incredible breakfast. I don't know if the breakfast would have been worth it if paid for separately. We had dinner at the restaurant, which although pricey, was very fine haute Dutch cuisine. The only downside was the distance to the Centre of town. Located in a lovely and quiet residential neighborhood, the hotel is a good 15 minute walk from the furthest part of the Museumplein.
There is a tram quite close by that takes you where you want to go, but we are walkers and found the hotel to be a bit out of the way.
No way a five star hotel
on arrival amazed to find sheets not changed. when corrected(at second request)they were badly worn and poorly laundered. upgraded to exec room but noisy. other exec room windows did not openon arrival amazed to find sheets not changed. when corrected(at the second request) they were badly worn and poorly laundered. upgraded to exec room but noisy other exec rooms windows did not open! went back to original room. restaurant overpriced and overrated. we thought the bar was quiet then we saw our bill! avoid. most staff appeared friendly but false. tourists give it a miss. one for the business fraternity only.
Bilderberg garden Weekend
Agree with most of what has been said. The hotel was very clean and comfortable - we were upgraded to an executive room after booking via teletext web site - no extra cost. Staff were friendly and helpfull, speaking excellent English. Location - a short tram ride away from central station (10 mins). There are a choice of three trams which will drop you within 5 mins walk - No16, 5 or 24. Tram drivers were helpful and let us know where to get off. Would suggest during peak times i.e.
August the canal bus is not the best way to see the city - try one of the canal tours instead these are very reasonably priced and frequent and although you cannot hop on and off give an excellent overview of the city.
A Very Good Base. Avoid the expensive Breakfast
The staff were very good with early check in possible if room is free.
They also gave some good tourist advice and looked after luggage and taxis as required. Rooms were reasonable and the Jacuzzi bath a hoot!
30Euros will get you to or from the airport inside 15 minutes (without traffic). Better than carrying bags on trains and trams. No 16 Tram is very good for Hotel but for the fitter traveller the 15-30 min walk (depending on route) into the city centre is very pleasant. Museums and Gallaries are very close.
Unless pre paid avoid Breakfast. The 20Euro per head was not worth it, nothing special and self serve, 10Euros would be more like it. You could get better out in town.
Overall nice rooms, freindly staff and a good base unless, like an American, you don't like walking.
Great location
The Garden Hotel is probably in one of the nicest locations within walking distance from the Centre, just south of the Vondelpark. The surrounding neighbourhood is full of great cafes and shops, not many tourists around here. but very friendly. From the exterior, the hotel is showing it's age a bit, particularly in the vicinity of the Hilton, a few yards away acreoss the road. The rooms at The Garden (we stayed in an Executive Room) are comfortable, beds are superb, bathroom excellent. Service was a bit slow, we had to ask 3 times for extra bathrobe. The air-conditioning in the room was extremely poor, sometimes the case with older hotels.The final bill was incorrect and needed to be changed. Would I return? Yes, but not when the weather is hot because the a.c. can't cope! Bruce.
Mostly Ideal for Us
The simpliest/cheapest way to reach the hotel from Central Station is on the No 16 tram which departs every 10 mins or so during the day and early evening. Get off at Emmastraat ( about 12 stops or so) and cross the canal bridge to your left, then turn left past the Hilton.The tram journey took us around 20 mins at 1pm on a Friday. The walk from the tram stop to the hotel about 5 - 10 mins.The hotel room was ideal for my wife and I with a pleasant aspect, although we did have two single beds pushed together. The bathrobe and slippers were a nice touch as was the jacuzzi. Avoid the bar and eating in the hotel unless money is no object. The food was well prepared and plentiful but pricey and the ambience lacked that of restaurants a few tram stops away ! We found the service quite good and arranged a late checkout without additional cost. Nice mix of business and leisure guests, slightly more discerning than clientele using centrally located hotels. Thoroughly recommended but eat out if not on a princely budget
Jacuzzi Heaven
Although initially worried about the long taxi journey from the Central Station, the hotel provided an ideal base from which to explore the wonderful city of Amsterdam. Not too far away (5 mins by tram), but sufficiently far enough away from the busy central district. The hotel itself is very pleasant, and staff are helpful and friendly. Although we have stayed in better 5 star hotels, the Deluxe rooms are decent enough for 4 star rating. Advise travellers to book Executive rooms, which offer additional amenities.
No relaxing welcome here
Not only is the Bilderberg Garden Hotel far from central (although it is in a nice residential neighborhood), their idea of full service falls short of American standards. After being checked into a room with two twin beds (even with a reservation that specified a king), we were informed that the hotel only has 5 rooms with anything other than twin beds. This is clearly a business hotel. We were offered an "Executive Room" - which has king beds - for an additional $40 USD per night (note: the upcharge is for bathbeads we never saw, CDs we never used and additional "amenities" that were not present in the room when we checked in). Our higher priced "Executive Room" also came complete with ripped sheets on the bed! The bellman are very helpful with recommendations on places to eat, drink, dance, etc. but if you are in Amsterdam on vacation, we recommend staying downtown at a hotel more accustomed to leisure travelers.
Very Cherry
Arrived at the hotel after a ten minute taxi drive from the station. We were initially concerned that it was a little too far out of the city. However within our 3 night stay we realised that it is actually in one of the nicer parts of the city. A 15 minute stroll or a 5 minute tram ride takes you to the heart of Amsterdam. As our room was not ready, the friendly staff invited us to have a drink in the bar. When 10 minutes later it was still not ready, they upgraded us to a beautiful suite on the top floor. The hotel is friendly and welcoming yet has all the modern comforts of a five star hotel. The 'Cherry' themed restaurant is excellent. An excellent hotel.

Cap�tulo 24- Fue como un juego de "Frogger"
I arrived late into Rotterdam to meet my friend Simon and had to wake up early for our big trip to Amsterdam. Again, wish I could have actually seen Rotterdam the day before but wasn't able to (Read the previous blog to hear about my day from hell and how I didn't get to see Rotterdam).
We traveled by public transportation to the train station and I saw something that I found super interesting. There was a ...
Day 3: Amsterdam
... again. It's about 40 minutes there, but has free wifi on the train (called WiFi in de trein), so it's good time to reconnect with those I miss! Wish it was a longer trip! We got off the train in Beverwijk, and rather than walking the epic distance yesterday to a house, Dad's cousin Hans, and his wife Honey (another bear reference), met us at the station to take us out for lunch. Like Wil and Bep yesterday, they barely spoke a word of English. ...

B Street BoxingRead MoreAfter an eye injury took boxing and martial-arts champion Eddie Croft out of the ring, he set himself a new goal: becoming the first person to train a boxing, kickboxing, and mixed-martial-arts champion. Having already trained a world kickboxing champion and five San Francisco Golden Gloves winners, he is well on his way. Croft plies his trade at B Street Boxing, where his team of instructors teaches professionals and amateurs the arts of boxing, muay thai, kickboxing, Brazilian jiujitsu, and tae kwon do. In the red, white, and blue ring of B Street Boxing's gym, students jab and spar, practice their skills on punching bags, or check their form in a mirrored wall. Conditioning and boot-camp sessions also keep students from all backgrounds fit while imparting dedication, discipline, and the desire to wear boxing gloves even in the shower.223 S B StSan Mateo, CA US
Peninsula Ballet TheatreRead MoreAll the world's a stage, but Peninsula Ballet Theatre in San Mateo offers the best shows around. Wandering souls would be best to visit this theater for any one of their A+ dishes. Little ones are just as welcome as their parents at this theater. At Peninsula Ballet Theatre, you can elongate your muscles with some basic ballet or opt for a less traditional class. Combining dance and fitness moves, our fun Zumba classes are easy to follow. Parking is plentiful, so patrons can feel free to bring their vehicles.1880 South Grant StreetSan Mateo, CA US
International Self Defense InstituteRead MoreMartial arts at San Mateo's International Self Defense Institute is a great workout that will leave you feeling Zen. Make the trip to this studio even more savory with a visit to their fine restaurant. Families will feel right at home at this studio with its kid-friendly atmosphere. Gain a solid understanding of MMA fundamentals with a professional MMA class. Pack quite the punch practicing kickboxing. Parking is plentiful, so visitors can feel free to bring their vehicles.98 42nd AvenueSan Mateo, CA US
Yoga at ChangeRead MoreWhere as many people prefer to chat with others during lunchtime, patrons of Yoga at Change look forward to quieting their minds. These 30-minute meditation sessions occur three times a week, and like the rest of the non-profit's curriculum, strive to inject some introspection into otherwise bustling days. Though "yoga" is in the studio's title, meditation figures heavily in many of its class and workshop offerings—Slow Flow yoga mixes it with Hatha poses, and Integral lessons combine chanting, meditation, and restful movements. Mothers can also channel meditative energy during Mom Baby Yoga and Yoga with Babysitting, specialty classes that allow them to engage in relaxing postures and meditation while staying connected to their little ones, who spend the sessions stretching out with their parent, sleeping, or playing. The holistic philosophy of Yoga at Change is that all people have the right to spiritual insight, a healthy body, and a peaceful mind. The instructors strive to accomplish this through a blend of self-reflection, breath, and physical balance. The staff believes that there are several roads to wellness, and that all of them should be accessible, regardless of the client's skill level. They schedule several discounted or free demonstrations, and also offer a scholarship program to fund yoga practice for those in need of financial aid. Students attend classes based on their desired intensity—gentle, moderate, or vigorous. They can also register for workshops that address a slew of alternative health topics, which in the past have included treating lower back pain.400 Ben Franklin CourtSan Mateo, CA US
CuriOdysseyRead MoreTraditionally, the zoo provides the comfort of seeing animals that could not make a surprise visit to your backyard; this is a comfort CuriOdyssey dispatches to give weight to its message of science education. The menagerie of nearly 100 mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and birds primarily showcases local species like the Channel Island fox and the red-shouldered hawk, which have relatively small niches that have been squeezed by environmental degradation and human encroachment. Native species can be glimpsed within a complex of 25 lush habitats, including a 4,000-square-foot walk-through aviary and a replica of the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Sunny, outdoor gardens fill more than 1.3 acres with plots that rotate with the seasons and plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds for live study. Among the science exhibits, Forces explores fundamental forces in nature such as gravity and magnetism. All the exhibits are designed to enable close observation and experimentation characteristic of the scientific method. This aim is supported by shows, such as daily otter feedings—spied from behind the glass of a cross-sectioned riverbank—and a variety of classes.1651 Coyote Point DriveSan Mateo, CA US
Aaron Parnell, PhyziquestRead MoreAaron Parnell believes that good posture is much more than a matter of sitting up straight. The published author and sought-after speaker has appeared on radio and television programs to discuss his signature treatment—Reposturing Dynamics—which he uses to address conditions that range from arthritis pain to excess abdominal weight. Parnell developed the stretching-, breathing-, and massage-based technique after interviewing some 300 Olympic athletes at the 1984 Olympics about their physical, mental, and emotional keys to success. He has been performing the intense "massage workouts" for more than 25 years, and he has created books and videos to help clients continue the restorative process at home. His Reposturing Yoga DVD, for example, combines traditional Hatha yoga with cutting-edge advancements in sports performance and kinesiology. Parnell also founded the Vitality Sciences Institute, where he trains and certifies other practitioners as part of a state-registered program. The classes teach participants to combat signs of aging with facial reposturing and improve their posture during work and recreation.407 N San Mateo Dr.San Mateo, CA US

Kelly Osbourne Suffers Seizure on Set of E!'s 'Fashion Police' (Report)
The reality star and TV host reportedly told co-host Melissa Rivers that she was feeling ill prior to the medical incident.
Kelly Osbourne suffered a seizure while taping an episode of E!'s Fashion Police and was rushed to the hospital, TMZ reports.
The 28-year-old reality star and fashion critic reportedly told her co-host, Melissa Rivers, that she was feeling ill, then dropped the floor and broke into convulsions. A member of the audience ran to help her, and she was then carted to an ambulance, covered in a white sheet to cloak her from the media and onlookers.
Osbourne recently lost 50 pounds in a high-profile transformation that earned her magazine covers and an abundance of coverage.
Osbourne's rep did not immediately respond to The Hollywood Reporter's request for comment.
