A few minor glitches but can't really complain. The biggest was the minister didn't say the vows we chose, which sucked but no one else knew.
I will put up more info when i'm back home, got free wifi at or honeymoon so thought id pop in to say it was fantastic.
Got to watch a few other weddings too, wonder if any of the brides are on here!?!

Hi girls! Hope all is well. I've chimed in a few times on this thread and just start having it update me every time there is a new entry. Little about me... We're getting married August 14th we have 20people booked right now and estimate another 10 to 15 people so we'll be about 35 guests booked. We booked the dreams of love package. I just talked to Jacki and we're going to change our dinner to a buffet. We don't like the idea of only one food item and I'm a little nervous about having enough time for speeches, dances, and everything if we had the 5 course meal. I've read so many times that most people pick the reception site once they get there but we are leaning towards the room on the second floor with window views that has AC. We want everyone to be comfortable and to be able to dance. Which leads me to another issue... to get a DJ or not. We would like someone to be the MC transition between speeches, dances, etc but I don't like the idea of 220 an hour for it. So I think we are going to find a family member to do it and then bring iPod for dancing music. I've got to start working on the playlists!
Another issue I'm dealing with is flowers. They are super expensive! Anyone have ideas to deal with this? Center pieces are another issue.. I think I'm going to make them but not sure what will be easy to pack. Any other decorations people are brining?
Anyone find a trick to getting room upgrades? I've read from a few brides here and there that they were able to get room upgrades but not exactly sure how.
OOT Bags anyone? Working on these too! Anyone doing anything fun?
How about tours? Suggestions?
Whew! Lots of planning! I thought I picked destination to lessen the planning but it seems like there is just as much.
Happy Planning! Love to hear anyones thoughts on these things.

Hi Julie! Congrats on your wedding date.
We are getting married on March 14th and we have about 20 people coming. I believe we are having our receiption outside on the beach. Having a DJ or not was a big decision for me, but it's just too expensive. Basically another $1,000.00 for something that we can do ourselves. I made a playlist a few weeks ago. Let me know if you would like to see it as a sample. I am going to try to keep our speeches short so that it does not take up too much time. I have heard that dancing on the sand is fine and fun!
I did not ask about room upgrades. We are hoping to be upgraded once we arrive, I think that's the best way to do it.
I agree, the flowers are SO expensive! I got silk flowers from a place near my house. I got all the flowers I need for under $300.00. Also, centerpieces are expensive too - I tihnk about $75.00 per. I am not sure what to do here... I might just go to Walmart and get a vase and some shells and see what I can do it with. I am not too worried about it becuase I am sure the tables will be decorated nicely with what they have in the package. I have seem some picutres and ever without centerpieces, they still look nice.
For tours I would suggest Xel - Ha and Xplore. We went to Mexico in 2012 and did both of those and they are AMAZING. So much fun and totally worth the price. This time, I am going swimming with the dolphins for sure, as it is only a 5 min walk. I have also set up a fishing trip for the boys a short distance away.
I decided not to do OOT bags. I think it is some what unnecessary and costly for things that people will probably end up bringing themsevles.
Hope this helps!

Helllo ladies!!!!
I am just so excited for each and every one of you who are next..... It was a perfect day for us.
We saw a lot of weddings happen too, and my family even talked to one brides family who didnt have the best experience - so I will tell you what we did and what we saw to hopefully help in any decision making!
First off, Jacki is fantastic. She's an Aussie and is straight to the point, I loved her. If you want something else and want to change anything - shes totally flexible. We met her the morning after we arrived, sat down, went through the day or what we wanted - then did a walk through the site to see exactly where reception locations.
We had the Dreams of Love Package. And it really was enough for us. We had 37 guests total at the wedding.Styling Trio did all our hair and makeup. They were efficient and did a great job. I did a hair trial two days before the wedding.
Sascha Gluck was our photographer. He showed up an hour early and stayed a bit late too as we ran over our time with speeches.
We did a walk through rehearsal the night before. I'd suggest doing this. WE timed the whole walk to one song, so i listened on my ipod while we all walked and then everyone know waht time to walk etc. Even if your group isnt walking to one song, id do rehearsal. It takes like 10 minutes.
Ceremony was at 3pm at the Gazebo. (we originally wanted it on the beach, set up columns but it was $300 and when we got there we didnt really see the point since the Gazebo was free, and everyone LOVED the gazebo - but evvvvvvvveryone gets married there. we were luckily the first couple out of that week to get married so we got lots of cheers and claps when we walked out of th hotel)
I wish we had the ceremony at 4 pm , only for the fact that we cut our photography session VERY short with the photographer because we were all sweating like pigs. In hindsight I wish we sucked it up, but my makeup was being wiped off and our hair was sweaty and it just wasnt pretty any more lol. SO i think if we had it at 4, with the sun setting and air cooling we could have lasted longer BUT oh well, we have lovely photos already and havent gotten any from our pro.
We did the symbolic ceremony (non legal) but no one knew the difference. Its basically a ceremony we would have at home, we even got to sign something like in a legal ceremony. Alejandro Monroy was the minister(hes provided by Dreams) ,and he was great however he didnt say the vows we chose. He gave me a list of like 8 to choose from, and we wanted the one about friendship and love..but he spoke the traditional one "to have and to hold" bla bloa. It was super disappointing but not a deal breaker. It was still a lovely ceremony.
We had requested a champagne toast on the beach, right after the ceremony but this didnt happen. I wasn't pleased about that. But again, in the moment you dont care!
Then guests went to Baraccuda Swing Bar for cocktail hour. We had appies and they set them up, and guests loved that. *Note other guests at teh hotel will be at the swing bar too. This one couple sat there forever with us, and someone kindly asked them to leave. They werent happy about it, but eventually left so it was just our group at the location. But for a smaller group, id say people will be there.
We ended up getting El Patio for the dinner. (and for those of you who have read my previous posts, i had requested it, then told we couldnt have it. But upon arriving Jacki told me they would do it for us). We paid the $750 and I'm telling you it was SOOOOOO worth it! The reception was amazing. I am so happy I didnt do it on the beach, It gets very windy at night and ALL of the weddingreceptions we saw (mind you this is february) that were on the beach didnt look that comfortable. Also, there are usualyl nightly shows. With music. And its loud, so some receptions had their music going and you can hear the music from the hotel going as well. If you want a slow song, the hotel might be playing dance music. So its not super private or intimate, (BUT, im not trying to talk anyone out of their dream just letting you know how it is!)
Our other choice was Oceana Restaurant - which is the adult pool side. It too is gorgeous BUT be warned the adult pool side stays pretty rowdy till about 6pm. Those old people stay in the pool and just drnk and "woopp woop" all day. So had we chose Oceana (or the location next to Oceana wihich is near the hot tub at the adult pool) we would have had drunken people partying while we were eating out meal. It wouldnt have been a wise choice.
At El Patio They have the windows wide open and fans going,. was it hot? Yeah a bit, but that's because we danced for hours. The service was fantastic and yhou really dont have to worry about a thing!!!!
We used a DJ, Dj Doreemix. For anyone contemplating DJ or not, PLEASE go with a DJ. It makes the reception. If you have a crowd that likes to dance, and will dance - a DJ is what you need. They were $800 for 5 hours - and they were there at 4pm setting up and didnt start till 6pm. They have the mic for the speeches too. They brought balloons, masks, glow sticks and set up lights and smoke machine and it just made the dance party even better. Our friends and family couldnt stop talking about how fun the reception was - and it was all thanks to the DJ's. They even had a fire show display that went off at the very end, right outside the reception location. It was AWESOME.
Put your money into reception location and a dj. you will not regret it!
One of the girls my family talked to said the hair and makeup crew from the hotel weren't very good, and they were not happy about it. But some people are pickier than others, so I'd do a trail and get out any reservations about your "look".
Hmm, what else.../:
I brought down my own fake flowers for the centerpieces and candles etc. They turned out fabulous and looked great. They assembled them all with our name tags, table tags and maracas. They did a great job!
Also, my bouquet was exactly what I wanted.
We got the cake for 20 people. and didnt get the bigger cake - and for anyone who has guests more than 20 people you dont need a bigger cake. they just want the $! the cake size was plenty big.
Not sure if anyone has any specific questions or not, but seriously any thing I had worried about before - was not necessary. It was awesome.
Posted 23 February 2012 - 12:49 PM
What we did for ours is our dinner right at 6pm. I took away the soup course, so we have appy, salad, main and basically once the desert was served we started our speeches. We had 6 people speak, including our Emcee. Took about 25 minutes. But everyone kept theirs pretty short too.
As for room upgrades, we asked once we were there. Now, they told us we got a nice "upgrade" and it was a lovely room (we booked garden view room) we were on the 5th floor over looking the Marina Side..HOWEVER, 6 other couples were in the exact same room. Being the bride and groom I expected our upgrade would be a bit better than our friends rooms. And they told everyone in our group they got an upgrade lol. SOoo, They lied and didnt really give us an upgrade, but they made it seem like they had. The next morning a lot of people changed their rooms cause couples were in two bedded rooms etc, and I went down to ask about their honeymoon suite. First he said it wasnt available, then after 10 minutes it was available. Would cost us $55 extra a night, and it was lovely but TINY. the view and the patio were fabulous with a jacuzzi tub(but its right next to the patio of your neighbour so cant get too frisky in it) but wasnt worth it as i wanted the bigger suit just to get ready in, on the wedding day. I didnt care that we didnt have ocean view to sleep in.
SO, What we did for the wedding day/night is booked their master suite for 24 hours. Its huge. It cost us about $250, but it had a huge living room, bedroom and bathroom so we could all get ready in comfortably. There was 13 of us total with girls/parents, hair/makeup and photographer. So we needed the space! The honeymoon suite we were shown wouldnt have accomodated us getting ready at all.
As for centerpieces, we rented the vases from them at $5. And I did the floating flower/candle. Brought my own fake orchids from Michaels. Filled the vases with water and voila! (i actually left ll the fake flowers with Jacki so maybe one of you can use them! lol) The flowers were easy to pack, and lightweight. The floating candles were easy too. It was very inexpensive. They still put a huge real flower centerpiece on our head table as it comes with the Dreams of Love package.
As for tours, Im against the dolphin swimming (super cruel - google The Cove and you'll never look at them the same way) so if youd like another friendly tour take your group snorkeling in the cenote! We went to Dos Ojos and I have been there twice. That or Grand Cenote. Its amazing. Google them both. They can accomodate big groups, and its about $35-40 per person. Our boys did the fishing trip, its fun but note theres only like 6 rods so not everyone really gets to fish.
I too didnt do OOT bags. You can bring a note or something but I felt it was just an added cost, and I wanted to put any money towards the actual wedding day.

Updated 9.15pm: You've got to hand it to the managers of Newsquest/Gannett: they know how to be sensitive.
Not wishing to disturb the National Union of Journalists' members picketing their Sutton headquarters (see yesterday's 'cowboys' item) they decided to hold today's think tank five minutes away in the Holiday Inn Sutton.
And then, quite suddenly, they changed their minds again - and have gone off to an unknown location in leafy Buckinghamshire.
The Holiday Inn choice would not have been too costly. I called the hotel and was told that, with lunch plus tea and coffee, the conference room deal works out at about £35 a head. Quite modest, I think you'd agree.
Given that 11 senior Newsquest managers were expected to be in attendance, including the London division managing director Roger Mills and advertising director Dene Stuart, it would have worked out at not much more than £385 (plus a tip, possibly).
But the Bucks choice will certainly cost more, not least due to the extra travel expenses.
For the record, the boardroom at Newsquest's own Sutton establishment, Quadrant House, can accommodate 20 people. Then again, someone would have to make the coffee...
I understand that the strikers, in order to ensure that their managers had the opportunity to hear their complaints, were expecting to picket the Sutton hotel.
But the late change of venue has upset that plan. Are Newsquest's executives too embarrassed to confront their employees?

Jon Cooper - Thanksgiving Throwdown - Nov. 25, 2009
The Hawks are ready for the big stage and their Thanksgiving night showdown with Orlando on TNT.
By Jon Cooper
Ah, Thanksgiving.
It's a day for family, over-eating and sitting by the TV watching...Atlanta Hawks basketball?
The Hawks, sharing the best record in the NBA at 11-3, tip off a prime time double-header on TNT by hosting the defending Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic, also 11-3, at Philips Arena beginning at 8:00 p.m.
Thanksgiving Day basketball sounds a little out of the ordinary, even to some of the Hawks.
"I've don't think I've ever SEEN a basketball game on Thanksgiving," said Marvin Williams, with a laugh. "I've always watched football but for us to be the game is huge and I think everybody's excited for it."
"This is the first time we're playing on Thanksgiving," added Zaza Pachulia. "We're taking it in a positive way because it's a holiday, they're putting us on that day because we're hot. I think it's a compliment."
Complementing the Hawks look and adding to the novel atmosphere will be new alternate red jerseys the Hawks will unveil Thursday.
This will be the second time this season and first time at Philips that the Hawks will be on in prime time — they debuted on Nov. 13 in Boston, responding with a resounding 97-86 victory. While being on in prime time is still a relatively new concept it is one the Hawks are getting used to.
"I can always get used to that because it shows that we're a successful team in the NBA and we're one of the most exciting teams to play," said Josh Smith. "It gives the nation an opportunity to see the Atlanta Hawks play."
"It is exciting," added Mike Bibby, a veteran of prime time TV from his days with Sacramento, but a game-time decision (ankle) Thursday. "National TV games get to be seen and people finally get to see what we can do instead of just reading the papers to see what your record is. When they see you on TV it's a lot different.
"It's a whole different game," he added. "It's longer, more timeouts. It seems like the lights are brighter."
Williams believes that it won't be hard to put the potential distractions aside.
"Once the game actually starts nobody notices," he said. "I don't think anybody has it in the back of their mind that this is on TNT or on ESPN once the game starts."
"We just approach it like another game," agreed Al Horford. "The cool thing about it is that everybody will get to watch it and see what we're about but at the end of the day it's just another game and we just have to go out there and show people how we do it."
Regardless of whether Atlanta feels the heat of the spotlight, a lot is on the line in this first of four games with the Magic. The Hawks are 7-0 at home, the only team in the East with a perfect home record (Phoenix and Denver also are unbeaten at home) but the Magic has taken the last three games between the teams, and the last three at Philips Arena.
"It's a big test for us," said Pachulia. "If we want to be a winning team these are the teams that you've got to beat. Earlier this season we beat Boston in Boston. This is the same category team and same kind of category game."
As far as the holiday itself, the Hawks players have made contingency plans. Most spent Wednesday with their families around the table in anticipation of being with their basketball family on Thursday.
"I'm going to have my dinner [Wednesday] night," said Horford. "I usually eat a lot on Thanksgiving, so I shouldn't eat too much on game day. Then we'd have a problem getting up and down the court."
"I'll probably eat [Wednesday] with my family," said Josh Smith, who was expecting visitors to come to town Tuesday. "I get a chance to talk to them and kind of have that family atmosphere on Wednesday, then play Thursday."
Of course, not all Georgians celebrate Thanksgiving the same and thus prepare differently.
"In my country we don't celebrate [Thanksgiving], anyway. So for me it isn't a big deal," said Pachulia, a Republic of Georgia native, with a laugh. "But holidays are a great thing. If we win it's going to be an even better feeling to beat the Orlando Magic. It's going to be a double celebration after the game."

My D80 suddenly stopped taking photos while I was in Auto mode. I noticed the flash stopped releasing. I've changed lenses, reset the camera's green buttons, switched out the card, reset the clock.

Hi, Also, try a factory reset found on page 129 of the manual. On the left side of the camera is the terminal cover, inside below the USB connector is the reset switch. If that does not work call Nikon digital 1-800-645-6689. ... Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens

Let me tell you about the best hitter I ever saw, and in 30 years of covering major-league baseball, I saw a few pretty good hitters. Guys named Aaron, Rose, and Bonds, to begin with. I was there when Pete Rose collected the hit that broke Ty Cobb's record, and I was there when Barry Bonds hit his first home run and there when Hank Aaron hit his 714th to tie Babe Ruth.
But they couldn't hit like Janet Murk. That's right. Janet. A woman.
I will introduce you to her as a way to get around to another pretty fair hitter, a wonderful character named Richie Scheinblum, who should have hit his way into the Hall of Fame but could not get past April. It was the early 1950s when I came across Janet Murk. She was a Little League coach in Englewood, New Jersey, long before women were making their mark in sports. She had played a couple of games for the local high school until they passed a rule that women couldn't play on the men's team.
She wound up playing a year in a women's league after graduating, then became a Little League coach. I know about her because I played for her as a 10-year-old. My teammate was Richie Scheinblum. But we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here.
Richie Scheinblum and I originally played for a team named Hughes Auto Electric. It was the best team in the league, but it had one weakness, a kid just learning how to catch in his first year. Me.
I woke up one morning and read in the local newspaper—honest, in those days they ran stories on the local Little League—that I had been part of a 10-player trade. The paper noted that the reason for the trade was that Hughes had to improve its catching. I cried for a week.
Janet Murk had an awful team that season. It was in its first year in the league and we were no-hit more often than we won, which was exactly once. But she shaped the team, worked with it, and by the time we reached 12 years old, we were champions.
Perhaps Janet Murk's biggest contribution was to turn Richie Scheinblum into a switch-hitter. Oh, the man could hit. We would practice all the time, all summer. I threw pretty well then. As we got older, I'd move closer and closer, throwing harder and harder, as Richie Scheinblum would never—never—swing and miss.
We graduated from Little League, but not before I beat Scheinblum out for the home run championship by one, something he neither forgot nor admitted to, always wanting to count the one homer he had had rained out, but that wouldn't be. I had the trophy.
By high school we were both pretty fair players, good enough to have a shot at a couple of tryouts that we went to together. The first was held by the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose famous scouting brothers, Rex and Joe Bowen, came to town. First thing they had me do was warm up this really wild, hard-throwing left-hander. We were on a field with one of those overhanging backstops. Well, this kid let one fly and the ball slipped. I looked up, it hit the top of the backstop, came down and smashed into my nose. It was a bloody mess, broken. I went to the hospital, end of that tryout.
Then there was the day we headed to Jersey City for a tryout with the Jersey City Reds, the Triple-A farm team of the Cincinnati Reds that had just moved there from Cuba when Fidel Castro and his communist regime overthrew the government. We were gassed, driving to Jersey City way ahead of schedule. We came upon a batting cage and decided we'd pour some quarters in it to get ready for this Triple-A pitching. We cranked it up to full speed and hit for about a half an hour. Bring on the heat. We were ready.
Arriving in Jersey City, we got ourselves into uniform, dressing in the locker room, then going out for batting practice. Scheinblum stood in. First pitch, he swung. Oops. It was a 60 mph batting practice fastball. He could have swung again before it got there. It took about 15 minutes for him to adjust and hit one hard. The way I hit, it didn't matter. A while later we're taking infield practice, Richie in right field, me catching. Scheinblum's first throw was the equivalent of his first swing—sailing 20 feet over my head and into the seats.
Scheinblum wound up signing with the Cleveland Indians. Maybe they thought that was the only way to get back the cost of the jersey he pilfered from the locker room. It took a while, but Scheinblum became a great minor-league hitter who earned a place in the major leagues. Somehow, he could not find a way to hit in April. In 1969, for example, he started the season 0-for-34 for the Indians.
Only once did he capture the magic. He became the Kansas City Royals' starting right fielder in 1972 and in mid-July he was leading the American League in hitting at .341 and was selected to the All-Star Game. In September, he was still very much in the batting race but was hit on each foot by a pitch, one from Blue Moon Odom, the other by Catfish Hunter. He continued to play and lost 18 points off his batting average, finishing second to Rod Carew, .318 to .307.
The next year Scheinblum he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds with pitcher Roger Nelson in one of the best trades the Royals ever made, as they got pitcher Wayne Simpson and outfielder Hal McRae, who became one of their greatest hitters.
Oh, by the way, covering the Reds that year was a young baseball writer who once beat Scheinblum out of a home-run championship. And what was the first thing he said when he came to Cincinnati?
"Whatever you do, I'm a year younger than I really am," he pleaded, having knocked a year off his age somewhere along the way.

It was in Los Cristianos we were approached by someone with scratchcards he gave them to us then told us very quickly that we had won prizes ie cigarettes alcohol electrical items (ipod laptops etc) or a holiday or a large amount of money... he told us we had to go to information centre to collect but that then became the offices, where we would be taken free of charge and returned, when we had watched a presentation we would be given our prizes... we were taken to a hotel type complex with offices on the lower level... we were supplied a drink and separated from our daughter and 2 grandchildren, (they were taken to where they could play games or go on computers) we were then told about Impact services Spain/ Gold Crown Resort holidays and how they could cut out the middle man and supply us holidays at cost price as long as we joined their club at a price of £4950 for life time membership... we said we couldn't afford this right now so a short term offer was given to us of £2950 for a 2 yrs membership which would be bought of us if we decided to go for the life time membership at a later date...They just would not take no for an answer... I just wanted to get out of this place with my family safely so we eventually under duress and fear signed this 2 yrs agreement....

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The longer the season goes, the more ice packs and wraps that appear in the locker room, the more difficult it becomes to play the relentless, in-your-face style that defined the Rangers through the first half of the season.
That only stands to reason.
Not, however, to coach John Tortorella.
"We can't look at it that way. All teams are banged up at this time of the year," said Tortorella, whose team will face the Sharks tonight to close a two-game western trip that commenced with Wednesday's 5-2 defeat in Anaheim. "We have to be really committed not to look for an escape door here. "We have to play the way we have to play."
Though the Rangers didn't slip behind the Hurricanes, who lost 2-1 to the Capitals last night, Tortorella said he wasn't thinking about any playoff scenarios.
"Not even thinking about that," he said following a late morning practice. "We knew it was going to be a dogfight, and we're happy about being in it. Some teams aren't.
"This is the time for us to really grab hold of it," he said. "We're not out of it. We're in the middle of it. We've handled adversity all year.
"If anything, this should rejuvenate you."
The Rangers will fly home tomorrow before playing twice this week at the Garden, Tuesday against the Islanders, who likely will see the match as a test of their manhood, and Friday against the Canadiens.

How to Go Cash-Only
Just a few short months ago you made all those resolutions. Many people promised that this would be the year they got their credit card use and debt under control. It's April. How are you doing?
Truth is, sometimes you have to take seemingly drastic measures to get results. If you want to tame the debt beast you may have to go cash-only. That may be a hard pill to swallow for some. Cash is almost a foreign object. In the 2014 Parents, Kids and Money survey conducted by T. Rowe Price, just 12% of parents polled said they use only cash for everyday purchases and 28% said cash is obsolete.
Here's how to make cash king.
Change your mindset
As soon as Leslie Tayne, a financial attorney, specializing in debt issues, begins working with her clients she encourages them to start living a cash based lifestyle. "In today's world, there is no need for a credit card. You can use a debit card or pre-paid card in most situations, in lieu of a credit card. Using cash relieves you from having to worry about accrued interest or late fees. Some people think they need a credit card, but it's not necessary."
It's easier to stay out of debt if you use debit or cash for your purchases.
Reap the rewards
If you need a little incentive to get going, Gail Cunningham, a spokesperson for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling offers the following, "Our observation has been that people who live on a cash basis end up saving approximately 20% of their previous spending level, and they don't feel deprived."
She explains why, "Their spending awareness level has risen, thus they are making mindful, as opposed to mindless, spending choices. The result is that they purchase exactly what they intend to, and enjoy the savings."
Stay within your budget
Using cash or debit cards can be an effective way to live more within your means. You take out a certain amount of cash, instead of using a credit card, which often results in spending more money, and likely what you can't afford, if you're charging in the first place.
"A cash-only diet reinforces your budget," says Elle Kaplan, CEO and founding partner of Lexion Capital Management.
Know the drawbacks
Cash may be king, but that's not to say it's a panacea. For one thing, there aren't as many protections with cash as with credit.
"Be aware of store policies whenever making purchases to ensure that the item is returnable, or under a limited warranty," says Tayne.
You may not be able to complete transactions such as reserving hotel rooms, vacations, or renting a car without a credit or debit card.
Carrying large amounts of cash is no doubt ill advised. You can lose it, or it may be stolen, which is all the more reason to have a debit card "Don't let safety be a reason to shy away from going off the credit card grid," says Cunningham.
Keep one card
Even though you decide to "convert" to a cash-only lifestyle, you may want to keep at least one card open, in case of a legitimate emergency, says Tayne.
If you are looking to get a loan in the future, whether it's personal, mortgage, or car, be aware that closing all of your credit cards in a short period of time could have a negative effect on your credit score and could cost you the deal, she warns.
If you choose to not close the cards and commit to not using them, with the exception of emergencies, make sure you still regularly check your accounts to ensure there is no fraudulent activity on the card.
When you must use a credit card, pay the balance in full.
Says Tayne, "Getting off the 'credit card drug' can be hard, but once done, you gain the benefits of freeing up cash flow, sticking to a budget and having money to pay for other expenses."

CHAMBLEE, Ga. -- The woman made famous for her luxury jewelry heists has been arrested again.
Doris Payne, 86, was arrested at the Walmart in Chamblee on Monday. She's known as the "Granny Gem Thief" and has been arrested several times for stealing jewelry.
International jewel thief Doris Payne: Timeline of a life of crime
For her most current arrest that happened on July 17, Payne is charged with four counts of theft by shoplifting and is accused of taking items that totaled to $80.60 from the pharmacy and electronics departments.
NBC News reports Payne was released on a $607 bond and is at home.
When arrested, Payne was wearing an ankle monitor from her DeKalb County probation on other shoplifting charges from Perimeter Mall.
Her criminal career spans at least two continents and five decades. Payne had been nabbed in Atlanta in October 2015 after she was caught allegedly shoplifting a pair of $700 earrings from the Saks Fifth Avenue in Phipps Plaza.
She was on bond for that case when, in December 2016, she was arrested at Perimeter Mall and charged with shoplifting after trying to seal a diamond necklace worth nearly $2,000 from Von Maur department store. Payne was released on a $15,000 bond in that case and ordered not to travel outside the state of Georgia.
PHOTOS | Notorious jewelry thief Doris Payne
Her attorney told judges in Fulton and DeKalb County that she was too sick to stand trial. Earlier this year, Payne's attorney claimed she had cancer but did not provide documents to support that.
Her five-decade spree and 20-some arrests in countries around the world, including Greece, France, Britain and Switzerland, have made her something of a celebrity among thieves. She was the subject of a documentary, The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne, which is available now on Netflix.
In a jailhouse interview with The Desert Sun in May 2014, Payne said she began stealing watches to save her mother from an abusive relationship, but continued into her golden years so she could live a glamorous lifestyle, a far cry from her childhood of poverty in West Virginia.

I can smell this lipstick just thinking about it! The Kate Moss 107 was my very first deep red, thanks to Zoella way back when lol. I was obsessed with it, I remember the day I accidentally put the cap on while the lipstick was still turned up too high and smashed the point off - I was so disappointed, but I just cut the chunk off and used the flat lipstick like it was no big deal!
Overall the lipstick is fine, it's matte and not very easy to apply, but once it's on it'll will definitely want to travel all over your face. so make sure to grab a liner and avoid touching your face or kissing anyone!

I do not like the other Rimmel lipsticks BUT there is something about this formula that is incredible for a regular lipstick. These are matte in color but not flat! They have a bit of shine to them. They stay so well for a regular lipstick. I barely have to reapply throughout the day and after eating. By far one of my favorite lipstick formulas.
Review for: Other more...
Really enjoy this lipstick! Has a very nice cream finish that feels very comfortable on the lips. Very easy to apply, glides on smoothly and has great pigmentation! Does not last very long on the lips (but that's to be expected from a regular lipstick), so it will have to be re-applied throughout the day. Still, it's very easy to pop in your purse and touch up throughout the day! Would definitely recommend.

For a drugstore product at a low cost, the Rimmel London Kate line is not that bad. It is a creamy matte and fairly pigmented and buildable. I have shades 08, 10, and 17. 08 is more of a light mauve, 10 is a red with pink/magenta undertones and 17 is a light pink-mauve shade. Out of the three, 08 is more natural and nude that I prefer. I am not the biggest fan of pink/magenta undertones reds.

The shade options in this lipstick are fabulous. I'm currently using a mauve pink tone. It is comfortable to wear and has a bit of moisture to it. The packaging is ok, matches the price point. It has a nice fragrance to it. I wear this lipstick all the time. The color isn't very long wearing I find.
Review for: 14 more...
Okay so this is the PERFECT creamy nude for me. It stays on super well, it's comfortable, hydrating, and I've gotten so many people to buy it because it's simply stunning. It's kind of cool toned and a bit mauve-y but it's amazing. I will definitely repurchase whenever I run out.
By far my favorite lipsticks. They don't smudge they stay on all day. I usually only have to apply once, even with darker shades. When ever someone asks me for a lipstick recommendation I tell them these. I once lost one and went to three stores to replace it.
Review for: 17, 14, 30 more...
By far my favorite lipstick brand! I discovered shade #17 a few years ago and now #14 is my go-to lipstick. They are not lip stains, so they don't last all day on your lips, but the lipsticks themselves are durable and smooth. Honestly any chance that I'm able to buy more I do because I have had such success with these colors and this brand. Easy to wear, easy to take off when you need to eat or something. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a lipstick they don't need to commit to for an entire day.
I am obsessed with this line of Kate lipsticks by Rimmel London. Being someone that has only ever used chapstick, it's taken me a while to warm up to the bold Matte lips. I've always been afraid of lipstick teeth stains and the daily fade away. I'd constantly be checking a mirror and reapplying to keep the color on my lips. I don't have this problem with this collection. I can put it on before I leave and not worry about bringing the tube with me. I feel confident that the color will stay as vibrant until I come home.
Review for: 11 more...
The Rimmel London Lasting lipstick in the shade 11 is my favorite maroon/burgundy lipstick. it is a good bold lipstick shade. It is really pigmented and looks amazing on brown skin tone. It has a smooth creamy feel when you apply the lipstick. I wold recommend this to anyone looking for a great bold burgundy-ish shade.
What colors do you have, and which is the best?
Which one is your favorite color?
What is your favorite color?
I was thinking of trying this! How long does this last? Does anyone know if it stays on while drinking out of a straw/cup?
I have been looking for affordable but good quality lipstick.. I have heard that its good.. But is it worth the try?? Is it long lasting??

Bevin is not Andy's patient. The physician's in your group have not (presumably) been seriously dating any of their patients.

There is really nothing to be found in trying to look at Andy and Bevin through the eyes of a patient-doctor relationship other than this: As a physician, he has a comfort level with touching people. His treatment of Bevin suggests nothing about how he treats patients other than that one thing.

simon65: RIP Canon
If Nikon release a $1,500 FF DSLR then Canon's existing business model, product line up and pricing model is toast.
Canon have just released the 5D Mk III at $3,500 body only (!#!), and its near starter DSLR, the 650D at $950.
As someone who has always felt Canon are one of the more cynical manufacturers our there I can't but help feeling a touch of schadenfreude as I witness the increasingly tightening stranglehold Nikon and Sony have got them in. That even as I see the value of my Canon kit falling by the day on Ebay.
I'm selling and moving on, Canon have been offering too little for too much, for too long.
D600 for $1500.....bubble wrap body?
bernynhel: Before hearing about the T4i I was trying to decide between a T1i and T2i plus a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens as 1st and only DSLR. I only want to take great indoor closeups of marbles (little round glass things) and jewelry with a small desktop studio setup, camera firmly mounted on a tripod or rail system. I'm already happy enough with the vid on my SX30is and I hear no calling to run around outdoors trying to make bees around a flower nor hurdlers at a track meet appear to be frozen in flight. Did I let this T4i business mesmerize and cause me to wander into the wrong neighborhood for my needs? To try and find any direction out of all these posts just reminds me of the learning curve I'm trying to avoid so please kick me to the curb but first tell me if I should go with the T1i or T2i or tell me I'd be crazy not to get the t4i. And thank you in advance for what I am sure will be an avalanche of well-informed if diametrically opposed opinions.
get a T3i. the articulated LCD screen could help you lot...
Francis Carver: Wow, EIGHT HUNDRE FIFTY BUCKS (!!!) for something like THIS? No, Canon..... we really do not think so, Dudes.
you guys are brutal......but i love it! lol
Naveed Akhtar: I left Canon for Nikon 4 years ago,and then moved to m4/3, but this is the first time when I am finding Canon attractive.
Well done Canon!
oh this 123Mike certainly is a newb...
1965, Canon launched Canon Pellix with semitransparent fixed mirror..
2010, Sony launched A33/A55 with translucent mirrors..
that's all i wanna say for now...
i would love to see the new rebel series has shoulder LCD. EOS620/650 both has shoulder LCDs though.
lajka: Hej Samyang. Why not a model in Leica M-mount so we can use it with adapters on: Ricoh GRX, Fuji-Pro, Sony Nex, without need of buying a lens for each model. Or maybe that`s what you want? You can still make one for Samsung since it`s korean and it`s mount not allowing m-adopters is hopeless.
if you can afford a Leica why would you settle for a Samyang?! like...put $20,000 rims on a Hyundai Accent????????
WHOLE LOT MORE! i will be one of them...this camera is really amazing (at low ISO) LOL! but i love the details!
this is interesting! not bad....but still cramping up pixels? very immature IMHO
(unknown member): I don't think Pentax have ever had a K-mount 50mm f1.8 so I assume it's an all new design. The rounded aperture blades are also a nice touch for a beginner prime.
As an owner of an old Pentax MZ-S, I'd like to know how this lens performs on 135 format.
"drooling"....awwww....MZ-S....don't you wish to have a full frame MZ-SD?
Ibida Bab: A few more Samsungs that will sink into oblivion real fast.
the first type of photography pops out of my mind when you see "serious players" is sport photogrpahy so i used olympics as an example. guess your definition of serious is a bit different than mine then.
i won't discuess medium format since it's at a different level of being serious. if i get the cash to burn and hot girls running around the pool....and someone pays me....sure...why not...like Suze Randall...oh wait...she doesn't use medium format either...oh well~~~
Ibida Bab: A few more Samsungs that will sink into oblivion real fast.
let's see how many pros take samsung to the olympics this summer....won't bother to ask further becasue there will be pro is dumb enough to bring a samsung with him/her. it would be a JOKE...a real joke..a real joke that lasts years
snegron: Ok, seriously? While I am a long-time Nikon fan, I have to admit this "Public Best Camera Award" is the most absurd thing I have heard in awhile. How can people vote on a camera they haven't even used yet?!? This is just another way to produce extra hype for a camera so that it sells better when it finally becomes available to the public.
just like how kids used to compare MIG29 and F15 which 2 never (i assumed) engaged in a real dog fight and not to mention none of us has even seen one in real life.....touch one? no way...LOL!!!
D800 is awesome no doubt about it but the argument here is WHO is the public and WHO presented the public.
audijam: voted by public? man...coming out with the winner is easier than the making of the movie of "The Dictator"
I now announce the winner is D800 and shut your mouth or you will die....LOL!!!! shut up and you all voted for D800, yes you did!....shut up! bang bang bang~
you just don't get the joke..lol. it's okay you tried.
voted by public? man...coming out with the winner is easier than the making of the movie of "The Dictator"
I now announce the winner is D800 and shut your mouth or you will die....LOL!!!! shut up and you all voted for D800, yes you did!....shut up! bang bang bang~
Michele Kappa: Wow! How nice it is to see so many persons hating Leica and at the same time posting so many comments on each article about Leica...
The LCD sucks! The IQ sucks! Price too high! My xxx blows this one and costs half! My yyy + zzz blows this one and costs a third! It's ugly! (WHAT?!?) What outrageous noise! Leica sucks! Leica will die!
Meanwhile, [fairytalemode] in a little village in Germany [/fairytalemode], Leica has lasted a century building beautiful, trustworthy cameras that never lose their value, which the greatest photographers in the world have used to create some of the most memorable photos ever.
Really goes to show: if you can't have it, at least hate it. :P
Leica doesn't make electronic components itself...nobody say Leica sucks. We just say the price sucks...hahahaha...note there is a huge difference.
Yes Leica digital cameras lose their value too maybe just slower but eventually I can buy a Leica digilux 2 with my lunch money saved.
I love Leica but its price SUCKS!
where is Canon F1D or AE1D? seriously!
New Guy Wanna Learn: I'm still using the 550D...probably will never be able to own a 5D..mk ii or iii...but what i said is definitely what i felt initially when scrutinizing Roger's pictures.
The bottom line is this, if we learn to be SO MUCH less fussy with such things in life, like the tape issue, then life would be SO MUCH more enjoyable.
Yours sincerely,
A guy still learning sth new everyday...
i thought about it....but i won't because i am using FF and don't wanna go back to cropped sensors. but i honestly would take T2i/T3i out for fun any day.

The purpose of the Community Tree Planting Rebate Program is to encourage homeowners to "plant roots" in our community while beautifying their yard. Other recognized benefits of urban tree planting include: increased property value, removal of air pollutants and increased energy savings from shade provided from the tree. This program will provide a rebate to City property owners who purchase an eligible tree for their property.
The City hopes that an increased number of homeowners will be able to benefit from the initiative. In 2017 there are a total of 325 rebates available.

I have 2000 Ford ranger with 98k mileage on it. It recently swapped out the engine because the crank had actually cracked in the back half of the block. It was clean crack that had to have been a manufacturing defect. Either way, the new used engine went in smoothly and the transmission was placed back on smoothly which happens to be manual transmission but however I have had a lot of problems with the clutch engaging into first and reverse from stand still which would at first lead me to think there were problems with the flywheel. We dropped the transmission again and then measured and inspected the flywheel. The measurement came out ok. We also replaced the slave cylinder because it was leaky and we replaced the master cylindar just because. We put the transmission back on and we were still not getting the distance we needed so we flushed the lines again and were still having problems. We were missing over.38 in distance for engagement and you still had to jam the clutch all the way down to the floor to get it into first. We took the transmission of again and I checked the pressure plate because I thought it might have been shocked when the crank cracked in half. Sure enough it did. We went ahead and replaced the presure plate which made a big difference, but we were still missing a little less than a quarter of an inch in distance. I went ahead and twisted the actuater on the clutch pedal out of the master cylinder which gave me that quarter of an inch, but this does not seem to be a valid fix. It works though and shifts well. What could possilby be wrong with that missing distance in the clutch essembly? It has a new slave and master cylinder, new pressure plate and a fairly new clutch with only about 10k mileage on it. The slave cylinder and clutch are both lux parts and everything else is factory.
have the same problem?

Skip to comments.Machine gun Fire from military helicopters flying over downtown Miami, FL
Posted on 01/28/2013 2:52:38 AM PST by castowell
From a Michael Yon posting
more than little birds....
...it's not far off from the anniversary of Odungo's flying Jihad over Manhattan 4 years ago. Got to keep the sheeple on edge.......or keep the sheeple talking about "exercises", while another crime is committed in DC. Since the little boy king got a major wedgie last week when the judge put a hold on his "appointments"
"We tried to warn you...."
All I can do is look out for me & mine own now...
Black Angels....
Cute Cat Lady.... The rest of 0-Merica? Can fend for itself. Done done with it.
Supposedly to "prepare for oversees drills" and to make sure "all their equipment is in check". They were flying low over the interstate firing blanks. This will fuel a lot of conspiracies.
We need to simulate firing MANPADs at these guys.
Just to increase the verisimilitude of the training, you understand.
From the report, the public wasn't notified. I'm surprised the "firing" helicopters didn't take a couple of live rounds from a concerned public. People should be outraged at this ... But alas, just curious. That no one is LOUDLY questioning this or running to the streets to protest is even more frightening...is the whole country asleep or just busy watching the Pro Bowl and American Idol?
I can see how it would raise the eyebrows of conspiracy theorists.......
It isn't just theory any more.
America watched as the Pres__ent swore to uphold the Constitution while he has been ardently campaigning against and violating that selfsame document, and hardly anyone batted an eyelash.
And what's to stop somebody (or a lot of somebodys) in those skyscrapers from blasting those helicopters out of the sky? You can make a rocket launcher out of a PVC pipe. The insurgents in the Middle East do it all the time.
There is so much wrong here its hard to even start. So as they are flying along the freeway, shooting blanks, where are the shell casings going? Is it raining brass down below them?
Nothing to see here..move along.
Your tax dollars at work!
Got it yet?
just a thought - but Im curious if they werent trying to evoke a gun response in light of recent events
Naw, it wasn't American Idle, it was some pat-me-on-the-back music award show.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't experience return fire, given that it's Miami.
When I was an aerospace engineer in LA, I took the company chopper to visit other company divisions.
Chatting with the pilot, I found out that the choppers had kevlar armor installed.
When I asked why, the pilot said, "We get bullet holes all the time when we fly over South Central".
