He Hoped They Enjoyed Their Laughter While They Could, Because Nicomo Cosca Always Laughed Last. Provided He Wasn't Being Sick, Of Course."

CBD is mainstream. Everyone is becoming aware of the many benefits of hemp extracts. A big part of the trend is the recent 2018 Farm Bill which has legitimized and legally sanctioned hemp industry.
According to The Week, America has CBD Mania. The popularity is booming, but a 2017 University of Pennsylvania study examined CBD products and found that nearly 70 percent were mislabeled, with incorrect dosage and concentrations. According to the experts in Boston Globe, the best way to ensure safe consumption of CBD products is to:
Purchase branded products only from a reputable company that has experience in manufacturing and production.
Understand where and how the hemp that the CBD is coming from is sourced.
Request the batch-testing results from the manufacturer associated with the specific product. Testing results will confirm the potency and purity of the product.
In that vein, NEK Hemp will be distributing all of our products with a QR code which displays Test Certification.

I have written on the presence of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world.
Either they have been a part of Sanatana Dharma directly or having been there after being inhabited by the Tamils who have been, contrary to what the fraudulent Tamil Historians say on this, a part of Sanatana Dharma.
Sanatana Dharma had been there in Sumeria, Mesopotamia , apart from being present in other Cultures.
The Hindu Gods are present in the Sumerian and Mesopotamian Culture
Rama and Dasaratha's names are found in the King's List of Sumeria.
In the Kings List, one finds the Dynasties of the Kings of Sumeria with their official locations.
It includes the names of Kings of adjoining countries, then called city states
The Kingship was believed to be from the Gods and was transferable from one city to another.
If Ram-Sin is identified as Rama his greatest Amorite enemy Hammurabi must be Ravana or Ravi-anna. This presents some difficulties although Valmiki's version of the abduction of Sita probably has more to do with poetic imagination than history. However, that she was the chief priestess of the moon-temple at Ur may have been at the root of some events of the politically turbulent era. There is a possibility that at some stage Ur was captured by Hammurabi. The chief-priestess of Ur was inviolable under Sumerian law and the fact that Ravana did not dishonour Sita may show his regard for law. The Battle between Khammu-ravi and Ram-Sin who led a group of Ten-Kings was one of the most famous events of Sumerian history.
There is also a similarity between the war of Ten Kings during the Vedic period and battle of Ten kings in Sumeria,
Now I have come across references to Goddess Durga and Lakshmi in the Sumerian Culture.
Look at the following Image of Inanna.
You find the Lion as one would find in Durga Temples and Trishul as well.
Inanna, the goddess of love and war, with a lion. No other image of Inanna better illustrates her dual nature. She is depicted as a goddess of love, "showing some leg"; while the lion and the weapons of battle (maces) seen rising up behind her shows that she is also the goddess of war. In all of ancient mythology, no other deity is the goddess of love and war combined. The eight-pointed star (Venus) is another symbol associated with Inanna. This image is in photographic reverse. See the complete seal impression. Also see a line-drawing of the seal by S. Beaulieu.
Although she is called the goddess of love, Inanna is really the goddess of lust. She is not associated with romance, marriage, fertility or child-bearing. She is so extreme in her emotions, so psychotic in her desires, and so relentless in getting what she wants, she thus symbolizes the violence of human passion. This is why she is also represents the destruction and carnage of war.'
Durga is a Goddess of Power .
As Mahalakshmi.
I have not found the legend of Lakshmi as the daughter of Moon in any other culture excepting in Hinduism.
Inanna's Akkadian counterpart is Ishtar. In different traditions Inanna is the daughter of Anu or she is the daughter of the moon-god Sin.
And like Lakshmi, Inanna has a sister,
'Additionally, the myth may be described as a union of Inanna with her own "dark side", her twin sister-self, Ereshkigal, as when she ascends it is with Ereshkigal's powers, while Inanna is in the underworld it is Ereshkigal who apparently takes on fertility powers, and the poem ends with a line in praise, not of Inanna, but of Ereshkigal. It is in many ways a praise-poem dedicated to the more negative aspects of Inanna's domain, symbolic of an acceptance of the necessity of death to the continuance of life.
Lakshmi's Elder sister is Jyesta Devi, personification of things inauspicious.
Devadasi system in Sumeria.
The Devadasi system, I have been thinking, was unique to India.
'Along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers were many shrines and temples dedicated to Inanna. The House of Heaven (Sumerian: e2-anna; Cuneiform: 𒂍𒀭 E2.AN) temple[6] in Uruk[7] was the greatest of these, where sacred prostitution was a common practice. In addition, according to Leick 1994 persons of asexual or hermaphroditic bodies and feminine men were particularly involved in the worship and ritual practices of Inanna's temples (see gala)'
And Iraq, has Sanatna Dharma connection!

Mind the gap: How the generations view healthcare
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Just as each generation has its own soundtrack and cultural references (cue "The Breakfast Club" or "The Big Chill"), every age group has a different view of what it means to stay healthy. What's important for one generation in terms of well-being may not be as crucial for another.
In fact, research finds that age is one of the biggest influences on how employees prioritize their health. To optimize your employee engagement, your wellness programs need to account for generational differences. Access to reliable segmented data will help inform your decision-making so you can customize your incentives, benefits and communications strategy accordingly.
What do we know about how different generations think about their health?
Millennials. The Selfie Generation is highly attuned to personal lifestyle and curated online lives and they want to feel and look good. Being healthy for them doesn't just mean "not sick" — it's a daily, active pursuit. It's not surprising the generation that has grown up with Uber, Amazon and Netflix is impatient when it comes to getting health services. They're frustrated by long wait times and the hassle of scheduling appointments — so much so that 13% of them have gone straight to the ER because they couldn't see a doctor (compared to 10% of Gen Xers and 6% of baby boomers), according to a study co-authored by GE Healthcare Camden Group and Prophet. Millennials think digitally, rely heavily on social networks for information and gravitate toward convenient, self-serve options for healthcare.
Gen X. The Sandwich Generation is caught in the middle, and often look after the health of their aging parents as well as their young children. They also struggle to eat better, exercise more and get more sleep. Because they are caught in the middle caring for their parents and kids, nearly three-quarters of Gen Xers identify themselves as the chief health decision makers in their families, according to a study by Greyhealth Group and Kantar Health. What Gen X wants from healthcare is more transparent, immediate and actionable communication, the researchers say.
Baby boomers. The Rock 'n' Roll Generation want to live longer, even as many are managing chronic ailments such as obesity and high blood pressure. For them, staying healthy means avoiding a health scare like cancer or a heart attack, and getting the most out of their lives. Data shows that boomers are less stressed than Gen Xers or millennials, and despite age-related diseases, they report feeling healthier compared to their younger counterparts. Unfortunately, the next generation of seniors may not be as well off. According to a study by the United Health Foundation, compared to the current senior population when they were middle-aged, the next wave of seniors smokes 50% less, yet has a 55% higher
prevalence of diabetes, a 25% higher prevalence of obesity and a 9% lower prevalence of very good or excellent health status.
So, what does all this mean for benefits managers?
It means that employers can't expect to fully engage employees when designing and promoting wellness programs without accounting for key generational differences. Strategically and tactically, this nuanced approach will require segmenting your audience so the message is specifically tailored for each age group's needs and goals.
One idea: Get to know your people. You may need to invest in list management tools, such as marketing automation software, or find a partner or agency that can take advantage of the available technology to complete this task. These tools can help create and maintain up-to-date lists of employees, segmented by age and interests, as well as optimize delivery across the channels that resonate most with each user group. This means social media versus texting versus e-mail newsletters).
While successful segmenting may require better technology, how you speak to the generations in your workforce can be as simple as crafting e-mail subject lines designed to motivate each group differently.
While marketing incentive programs to lose weight, for example, an e-mail for millennials might say, "How to look great this summer." Meanwhile, the subject line for the Gen X crowd might read, "Get the stamina you need to keep up with your kids."
Modern health marketing requires a data-driven approach. What is the first rule of marketing? Know your audience. What is the first rule of modern marketing? Decisions involving your message, marketing materials and distribution channels should all be driven by your data, including data on the various generations of workers in your organizations.

Bodyweight Circuit Workouts for Strength Endurance and Fat Loss
What I love that much about the circuit workouts is that these save time for you. 20 minutes is a sufficient time to hit your whole body without over-training and crashing your body. I like the bodyweight workout routines that will charge my body instead of causing my body - lots of pain.
When I'm in a severe pain and suffer a sufficient DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) I don't feel energized and productive. That's the simple reason I like so much the circuit workouts.
By improving your strength endurance, you will execute your daily tasks with ease, gets tons of energy, stamina and vitality.

How to Start a Clothes Brand
Starting a brand of clothing is the dream of many fashion designers and entrepreneurs who enjoy fashion. Whether you design the clothes or not, the clothing industry is always looking for a fresh look. It's important to make your clothing line and brand stand out and create a demand for the products. Concentrate on communicating your message to the public and creating clothing that is both stylish and comfortable.
Determine your target market. If you intend to design clothing for a certain segment of people, such as children or babies for example, then you need to research how you will get the parents to purchase your clothing.
Write your business plan. Detail both your financial goals and marketing plan. Include information about your target demographic, as well as your expected income, expenses, overhead, and your plan to bring your clothing brand to the public.
Design your clothing or find someone who will be your main designer. It is important to not only make clothing that represents your brand but is comfortable and easy to wear.
Hire a production company or printer to manufacture the clothing you design. You will have to invest some money in producing a large amount of clothing.
Finance your clothing brand with your own money, a loan from a bank or investments from family, friends or a larger clothing designer.
Design your marketing materials and your logo. Make the logo and the promotional information as interesting and recognizable as possible. Develop an interactive website where customers can purchase your clothing. Use social media to spread the word about your products and brand. Enlist family and friends to wear your clothing and spread the word about your clothing brand.
Open a retail outlet or kiosk or distribute your clothing brand to area retailers. Start with small niche stores and then build enough business to generate interest by larger clothing stores. Use your website and social media websites to sell your clothing. Some people have success only selling their clothing brand online. If you do this, include the address for your website on your clothing labels, so customers remember where to go to get more of your products.

A shadow swept across the road just as he was turning off the roundabout and when he looked up he spotted a red-tailed hawk banking north above the apple orchard. While he followed the curve of highway around Half Moon Lake he imagined he was the hawk. He flew over fallow muck fields and roadside shacks with huge front yard satellite dishes. He gazed down at the farm with the weathered red barn and the ivy covered, yellow brick silo and the clapboard house with the rusted steel roof and fieldstone porch. He saw a village in the distance and when he was on the outskirts of Grant he circled down and landed at a gas station on the edge of a brown corn field. While he filled his tank he watched an old man slowly get out of a faded blue pickup and he wondered what the man did that day to get his overalls so dirty.
Driving through the tight cluster of buildings along the south bank of the Muskegon River in Newaygo, he remembered the day he sat with his father drinking dollar draughts at the Sportsman Bar. His father was dying but he was very happy because they were drinking dollar draughts and were heading up north. On the way out of town he remembered how bare the river banks looked after they took out the dam and how bad the traffic jams at the narrow steel bridge were before they straightened the road.
In White Cloud he smiled at the faded outdoor banner on the side of Charlie's Pub announcing the arrival of Oberon. He knew the banner would be there until it was replaced by a bright orange one welcoming the deer hunters. He smiled again in Baldwin when he thought about the chain-smoking waitress in the Log Cabin Bar who told him he couldn't smoke his pipe. When he was passing the boarded up Crossroads Tavern he remembered the time, many years afterward, when the tattooed bartender hid an ash tray because he thought he was a cop.
He turned west on 6 Mile and the autumn colors of the tall roadside weeds in the muted afternoon sunlight reminded him of Monet's haystacks. He was thinking of the haystacks and wondering about this remarkable ability to see in color when it suddenly occurred to him that if humans could only see in shades of greys, blacks and whites, they wouldn't even realize that there was this incredible beauty in the universe that they were incapable of seeing. This made him begin to wonder whether there was something else that he was not seeing.
He reflected on this while standing at the end of his dock that evening listening to the cries of the loons and while watching a V-shaped gaggle of honking geese flying south over the deserted lake. Later when he stepped outside into the enveloping blackness of the night he was momentarily blinded by the light of a billion blazing stars.
New and Returning Beers
- Deschutes Black Butte Porter, $1.79/12oz - "With a dark beer as our first and flagship brand, Black Butte defined Deschutes as a radical player. A slight hop bitterness up front enhances the distinctive chocolate and roasted finish. It's prized for its creamy mouthfeel and intense complex flavors" (source).
- Deschutes Jubelale Winter Warmer, $1.79/12oz - "A dark, malty celebration ale with layered flavors and beautifully balanced hopping. Jubelale pours deep garnet in color, medium bodied, with notes of chicory, earth, spice and fruit. To beer lovers, it's like Yule fire and family" (source).
- Deschutes Inversion IPA, $1.79/12oz - "Enter, if you will, all the glorious aromatic complexity of the hop. This big, bold IPA's intense multi-hop kick gets a subtle dose of restraint from select Crystal and Carastan malts. For discriminating hop heads" (source).
- Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale, $1.79/12oz - "Our most popular beer, Mirror Pond Pale Ale is the quintessential northwest pale ale. Cascade hops and more Cascade hops give this tawny colored ale delicious hop-forward aroma and flavor. Pale malt allows the hops to linger, not overpower" (source).
- Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale, $1.69/12oz - "Old Brown Dog has been cited as a classic example of the "American Brown Ale" style of beer. Compared to a typical English Brown Ale, Old Brown Dog is fuller-bodied and more strongly hopped" (source).
- Smuttynose Robust Porter, $1.69/12oz - "A hearty ebony colored ale that starts with a rich malty palate finished with clean hops and notes of coffee and chocolate" (source).
- Bell's Cherry Stout, $2.79/12oz - "This unique ale begins its life as a powerful and richly sweet stout to which Michigan tart cherries are added. The resulting black brew is complex, sweet and tart with a distinct cherry finish. It will improve with cellaring" (source).
- Bell's Special Double Cream, $2.09/12oz - "Sweeter and smoother than Kalamazoo Stout. A beer for special winter occasions. Great with chocolate desserts" (source).
- Bell's Java Stout, $2.79/12oz - "The satisfying elements of both stout and coffee come together in this full-bodied treat. A marriage of Sumatra's best with rich chocolate and roasted malt provides for a truly enlightening beer" (source).
- Founders Harvest Ale, $3.39/12oz - "This liquid dream pours a hazy golden orange straw color with a large puffy white two-finger head. First sip of this beer rewards with a super juicy hop presence bursting with fresh orange and lemon citrus then continues to introduce toasted malt undertones" (source).
- Ommegang Valar Morghulis, $9.29/750ml - "Valar Morghulis possesses a deep chestnut brown color with a persistent and creamy tan head. Rich aromas of caramel, toffee, ripe fruits and burnt sugar, with a hint of cloves. The taste is delicately balanced with rich malty sweetness, caramel and just enough bitterness to balance out its malty backbone. A surprisingly dry finish is light on the tongue, which belies the initial aroma" (source).
- Ommegang Scyth and Sickle, $2.79/12oz - "Scythe & Sickle Harvest Ale is brewed with barley, wheat, oats and rye. Scythe and sickle is a seasonal brew that celebrates the richness of the grain harvest. Brewed with barley, wheat, oats and – in a nod to traditional upstate New York grains – rye, this fine ale is malty and creamy on the palate. The flavors of the grains and earth shine through. Enjoy the refreshment of the season and joys of fine brewing" (source).
- Oscar Blues Ten Fiddy, $4.19/12oz - "This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 98 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY (10.5% ABV) is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer" (source).

For many in our church, J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937) needs no introduction. He was, after all, the founder of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, our previous denomination. In addition to that he was a professor of NT at Princeton Theological Seminary, a NT scholar, founder of Westminster Seminary, and a libertarian litigant on the issue of jay walking—which is to say that he thought it silly that crossing the street would be relegated by a law and not common sense. Practically speaking, if he came to a red light and there was no one around he would say go through it. Best known, though, Machen was a contrarian and controversialist especially when it came to the insidious liberalism that was sweeping across the church of his day. His most important work was related to that specific topic and is entitled simply, … Read More »

Christianity and Liberalism
Marriage as a Covenant
Agreement about the nature of marriage is hard to find, even in the church. What's more, even those who would espouse a particular view of the nature of marriage often belie that view by their practices. If marriage is going to be reformed we need to start by understanding the nature of it designed by God.
Traditionally there have been three major views about marriage. To those three I will add a fourth. First, the Roman Catholic Church suggests that marriage is a sacrament and thus a means by which God mystically dispenses divine grace. Secularists obviously reject marriage as a sacrament and instead insist that marriage is a contract entered into, maintained, and, if necessary, dissolved by two consenting individuals. Related to this is what I will call the, "it's-time-to-grow-up-so-I-need-to-get-married-because-that-is-what-grown-up-people-do" view of marriage. Though obviously related to the contract view … Read More »
Covenant of Works
In an effort to provide classification and clarification to the teachings of Scripture, Reformed theology has recognized in Scripture three distinct covenants which offer the needed categories for rightly dividing the word of truth. Those three form the heart of Reformed theology and are referred to as the covenant of redemption (pactum salutis), the covenant of works (foederus naturae), and the covenant of grace (foederus gratiae). It's to the second of those that we turn our attention this morning because it is highlighted in the text before us.
When Adam sinned and rebelled he plunged the entire human race into a state of disobedience.
The covenant of works has variously been called the covenant of creation, nature and law. All of these are appropriate and emphasize different aspects of the covenant. The covenant of works was the initial covenant God made … Read More »
Lord's Day or Christian Sabbath
Sunday has been alternatively referred to by Christians, and particularly reformed Christians, as either The Lord's Day or The Christian Sabbath. Both are acceptable and each one emphasizes something that we do well to take note of. The phrase "The Lord's Day" (literally "the day belonging to the Lord") only appears one time in the NT (Rev. 1:10) and emphasizes the change between OT practice and NT practice, and specifically the change between worship on the last day of the week to the first day of the week to sing and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. The phrase "The Christian Sabbath" appears no where in the Bible but seeks to emphasize the continuing validity of the Sabbath command (Ex. 20:8ff) under the new covenant while at the same time affirming
The Sabbath is not something that was instituted with Israel … Read More »
Catechesis, part 7
In chapter 5 of Grounded in The Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way, the emphasis was upon the gospel as the core of our catechetical ministry. In chapter 6, desiring to fully keep with the resolution to "proclaim Christ" (Col. 1:28) the authors explore some of the other dimensions of Christ proclamation (p. 117). It's in this light that Parrett and Packer suggest that "our proclamation must have a comprehensiveness of concern—that is, it must address individuals and congregations holistically, attending to the various aspects of our humanity" (p. 130). This chapter takes up the "what" of the comprehensiveness of the teaching.
The first section deals with the gospel as the "plumb line" for our "thinking, speaking, teaching, and living" (p. 118). They suggest that "When the church teaches doctrines or permits patterns of living that are

First Things First
Make sure you know what you're doing. Planning a vacation can take a lot of time when you consider finding the best travel options, the nicest hotels, what you'll do when you get to your destination, and even where you'll eat while you're there. You won't be alone in hiring a travel agent. The American Society of Travel Agents books around 144 million vacations each year. Get some help before you start spending money—you're guaranteed to be in good hands.
Another reason to consider getting a travel agent is that you'll have more to think about than just reserving a hotel room. What happens if your flight cancels just days before you leave? You'll be preoccupied with preparing for departure, but a travel agent would be ready to get you on a new flight. The biggest benefit to getting an agent is that they're flexible. They'll know what to look for and how to handle any issues that may come up, so you'll just have to think about all the relaxation you'll get.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Going to the beach is a crowd-pleaser vacation for nearly everybody, and if you want to visit one unlike any other, check out Punta Cana. All-inclusive resorts sit on white sand beaches, with spas and golf courses not far from your beach umbrella. It's also a fantastic place to go if you want a cheap flight. Ask your travel agent or do some research to find out what it'd cost to get you and the person you love to 20 miles of beach that'll make you feel like a whole new person.
Windstar Cruises
One of the best ways to see new places for a great price is to consider going on a cruise. Windstar Cruises provides one of the best ways to sail the seas. With less than 300 people on each spacious ship, you and your special someone will be able to see Greece or the Caribbean islands while docking in more private harbors. You'll be pampered and rested without sticking out as a sore thumb tourist or having to fight large crowds to get off the ship. Talk about refreshing!
Queenstown, New Zealand
Maybe your idea of a getaway is something that will equally rest up and thrill you, try traveling to Queenstown, New Zealand. After stretching out in a nice hotel, you'll have the option to ride horses, hike, go white-water rafting or even go bungee jumping. The world's highest cliff jump also sits in Queenstown at 358 feet above the Nevis River. If you're feeling the need for an adrenaline rush, New Zealand has you covered.
Bora Bora, Tahiti, French Polynesia
If your idea of a wedding anniversary is one of luxury, look no further than Bora Bora. It's one of French Polynesia's 118 Islands in the South Pacific Ocean, and it'll give you an experience like no other vacation spot. You'll get to stay in a bungalow that stands just over the emerald ocean and unmarked white sand beaches, where stairways off your room lead straight down into warm waters. It'll cost more than the average vacation spot, but many would agree that it's worth it.
The Seychelles is a popular vacation spot because of all the celebrities that visit it each year. The 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean are known for having amenities that span from being ultra-luxurious to being more laid-back, such as bungalows. Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge even honeymooned there after they got married in 2011. With options that range from snorkeling to nature tours, the Seychelles is a great place to celebrate love.
When it comes time to celebrate being married, or even if you're planning a honeymoon, picking the perfect spot to vacation at is essential to having a good time. Once you pick a destination, all you have to do is bring your special person along and you'll make memories that will be almost as good as the love you share. Just make sure to do your research, and don't be afraid to ask a travel agent for help!

That means a few more days of waiting for North America
Hello Games will be working on No Man's Sky right up until the last minute and then some. As confirmed this afternoon, the PC version is slipping a few days to a Friday, August 12 worldwide release. Previously, the space-exploration title was set for August 9 in North America.
"I really want to clarify our PC release date," said studio founder Sean Murray in a series of tweets. "It's something we're working extremely hard on. PC NMS release will now be global and will be August 12th worldwide. It's so important we get it right and make the best version we can."
"We apologise for the extra days wait this means for North America," he continued. "There are reasons we have to be tight lipped at times. I'm sorry for the confusion caused. We think a global release is best for everyone on PC. Retail forces us to be staggered on PS4."
Better to hear it now than Monday evening, I suppose. For those of you who managed to score an early copy on PS4, here's something to keep in mind: the "discovery online storage" will be wiped on Sunday, so don't get too attached to the alien planets and species you've so cleverly named.

There are few things quite exciting as booking a cruise. Whether it's your first or tenth cruise, it's fun to look forward to a new adventure. And we are so excited to have recently launched our new website that makes it easier than ever to book your cruise. You can compare cruises, see what specials are available and so much more. But before you get there, there are six questions you need to ask before booking a cruise.
We cover each of these six questions to help walk you through planning your perfect cruise. And because talking about cruises is even more fun than writing about cruises, we've put together a quick video to walk you through each of these questions.
6 Questions to Ask Before Booking a Cruise
Where do you want to go?
The first question to ask yourself before booking a cruise should be your destination. Are you craving the warmth of the Caribbean? Do you dream of seeing the majesty of Alaska? Would you like to see a sample of European cities?
Deciding on your destination is the first step to planning your next cruise. And once you decide that, it will affect the next few questions.
How long will your cruise be?
Next, you'll need to decide on the length of cruise. Choosing your cruise length can depend on a few factors. How much time do you have? Keep in mind that you'll likely want to arrive in your port city a day before your cruise departs. How much time do you want to spend on a ship? Are you looking for a quick getaway or can you take a two week escape to get away from it all?
The great thing about cruises is that there is a cruise for anyone. There are cruises for anything from two nights to two weeks... and beyond. No matter how much time you have, there's a cruise out there. Deciding on how much time you have for your cruise is hopefully one of the easier questions to answer.

When can you go?
Now that you know where you are going and how long your cruise will be, you need to decide your departure date. Keep in mind that some cruises will be somewhat date specific. For example, if you want to plan an Alaskan cruise, you'll need to plan on going during the summer. Are you looking for a specific date to celebrate? Do you want to be gone over the holidays or to celebrate a special occasion? Those can all be factors in deciding when you can go. Keep in mind that if you're thinking of booking a holiday cruise, you'll want to book early. That will help you with both availability and pricing.
Which cruise line should you book?
Deciding on a cruise line can be tricky. However, if you've already decided where, when and how long you can go, that may have already narrowed down your options. Which cruise line fits your needs best? Will you be traveling with children? Kids camps, adult activities? Have you been on a cruise before? Do you want to stay with the same cruise line or try something new? These are all great questions to help you answer which cruise line is best for you.
What ship should you sail on?
Now that you know which cruise line, you can pick which cruise ship. There have been so many new cruise ships over the last few years and they just seem to be getting bigger and better. Just like when picking the cruise line, you should consider your travel needs and preferences when picking which cruise ship is right for you. If you're looking for the best technology and some of the newest things to hit the sea, one of the newer cruise ships may be the best option for you. It may even come down to the type of entertainment and/or characters (if offered) are found on each ship. If you're not sure which ship is best for you, you can always call our cruise experts at 877-510-2929 for personalized help!
Where should you sail from?
Another question to consider is where you want to sail from. Some of the most common things to consider when choosing a port city are if you have a favorite one, if there's a port closest to you and if there are any good airfare deals to a specific port city. Additionally, you will want to decide to sail from the U.S. or outside of the U.S. If you're sailing from outside of the United States, make sure you have a passport for everyone in your family. For those sailing out of and in to the United States, passports aren't required, although we always suggest them.
Who's ready to cruise away on the vacation of a lifetime? We know we are! We hope these top questions to ask before booking a cruise make it even easier for you to book. Especially since our new cruise website makes it so easy to compare the cruise lines and their exclusive specials! Book any of our cruise packages online now or give our cruise experts a call at 877-510-2929. You won't regret making memories on a cruise this year!

Hi all,
Hope someone can help.
A little about my background. I met my partner online 4 years ago on online dating site. She lived in Norway at the time and I in the UK. After a few months of being together, she told me a huge secret of hers, which was that she was bulimic and she said she would understand if I would leave her because of it. I of course said I would stick by her side and be with her and hopefully see her through it. I didn't much about the eating disorder and didn't really know how hard it is to get out of.
Anyway we ended up getting married and living together both in the UK. I've never really felt the emotions from her properly, I know she loved me but she never said it because she didn't do well with understanding her feelings.
She kept herself busy by studying for the past few years but overall my love for her made me treat her like a baby. What I mean by that is that I did everything for her. This was partly to do with the fact she is not as confident here in the UK as she was back in Norway so I helped but overall I was doing pretty much everything. e.g. Arranging appointments, driving, cleaning, working. etc. I did everything for her and I know that's not right but I loved her and compromised a lot for her.
It's very hard to go into detail but things were not right, she had low confidence, she didn't want to go out often, crazy mood swings, she always spent so much time taking pictures of herself, looking at her fat and thinking of doing surgery on her nose/breasts... also getting braces for her teeth even though she has the best teeth of anyone I know. Lots of self-image issues.
My life was a constant battle to keep her entertained and happy but that never lasted long. I tried to get help for her but she didn't really want it.
Recently we went to Norway to see her family and something came out, she is not happy! She hates the way she treats me, she says she doesn't treat me like a wife should and that she has nothing to look forward to in life and she just feels empty and she doesn't want to live like this anymore.
For me, I was devastated as I've been trying my best all these years to get her help and keep her happy but it wasn't to be. She said she needs time to think what she wants and try sort her life out. I suggested for her to go seek professional help from specialist doctors and she is doing that now.
She is a deep depression hole and I completely understand her motives to stop continuing the way we are and if I think with my brain, I know I couldn't live my whole life like this so I'm kind of glad this happened but when I think with my heart, I don't want to lose her. What should I do?
Should I give her distance and let her get on with getting better?
Should I give her distance but be contently by her side on the phone or by other means?
Should I go to Norway and be by her side through the recovery process?
She thinks that if I'm with her during recovery, she will just take her anger out on me and hate me for it even more.
I'm a bit lost!

Bulimic Marriage Advice
Good on you from seeking out the same ED folk to get some perspective on this.
I was devastated as I've been trying my best all these years to get her help and keep her happy
Right now, she feels like a piece of shit failure to you as a wife. People with eating disorders have a tendency to be too hard on themselves and to scrutinize everything; this means that if you stay in the UK, she's likely going to obsess and worry that she drove you away. Yes, she has wild mood swings and other issues, but she's trying to get help and she recognizes she's been shitty to you. This means she recognizes that she needs to change...and if you stay with her in Norway, you'll be able to show her that you are going to be with her through this, that you aren't leaving.
You say she's worried she'll flip out on you even more. Is it possible for you to stay somewhere else, such as with one of her relatives or in a hostel or hotel? This would allow you to be there for her while not being next to her the entire time, meaning she'll be angry at someone else instead of you.
Of course, all this is expensive and you may both decide that this is just catering to her again, so being there via video calls and occasional visits might be the best option. The problem is that you need her to tell you this in a lucid state, and you also have to both recognize that during a mood swing she may blame you and hate you for not being there with her in Norway. You BOTH need to recognize this because it'll be something for her to remember if she flips out. You can also give her a token of your love, such as a locket with a picture of you and her together, something physical for her to touch and see that reminds her that you are with her in spirit and want the best for her.
On top of this, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to seek marriage counseling or therapy for yourself. As I said, the role you've taken on is that of a parent, and whether that's due to your own emotional baggage (such as having to care for a parent at a young age) or just not knowing how to handle it, a therapist will be able to give you guidance on the matter more than anyone here. Even if someone here is a licensed therapist, they're not working with you so they can only give some general ideas.
Best of luck to you, and I hope for the best.
For anyone wanting to talk more openly about eating disorders, /r/fuckeatingdisorders exists.
CaffeineNebula gives fucking perfect advice!!!
I would just like to ask....
If you knew she had this disorder and she knew she was hallow---why did you two get married? I think I'm just confused. I actually feel like this goes deeper than just the eating disorder she has.
Like how long have you two been married? Did you notice these habits of hers before you got married? Did you actually take time to live with her before you got married? Why did you coddle her?---It's kind of like you dating someone with an alcohol addiction and they couldn't function/do things for themselves because they were an emotional mess...so you did stuff for them. It's like the same thing in my eyes. If you saw her having all these issues during the 4 years of "being together" how come there was no therapy then. Did you do all that stuff (laundry, cleaning, driving..etc) because you were afraid you would lose her? Or afraid you couldn't find someone else? I really am just plain confused.
Now she's unhappy, but I actually think she was never happy to begin with. Not because of you or anything! But because she's unhappy with herself.
These situations are always so painful. It's very difficult to have an eating disorder and be in a relationship. You need to give her some space. It's probably the reason why she wen't all the way back to Norway. Just be there on the phone or vid chat...whatever. But don't call her everyday and stalk her on social media. Leave her be. If she wants to truly recover, she will set up the necessary help.
[Edited out paragraph of nonsense]
I'm sorry. I also wish you the best <3

And OP, I think you maybe need to give her a bit of space to really think through things and decide what she want/needs. She is obviously in a lot a pain, and the eating disorder helps her cope with that, but in the end the disorder just ends up causing more pain and chaos. She has to decide whether she is going to attempt recovery and engage in the proper treatment. If she does make the choice to try to recover, she will need you to help and support her through that battle. It is an unbelievably long, excruciating battle, and in all frankness is not one that everyone wins even despite their genuine desire to recover. She will need your support through recovery, but the decision to recover, to take back control of her life and let go of this destructive coping strategy that has allowed her to survive, has to be hers. She need to take ownership of it.
Honestly, if she decides she will not recover, it will be difficult to have a future with her I presume.
I think its' awesome that you're are seeking all the information you can in order to understand her struggle better as ED's are in general a very misunderstood and minimized mental illness; it's clear that you love her very much. And you are NOT AT ALL TO BLAME for her unhappiness. She has a mental illnesses (from what you described here, she probably has several mental illnesses in fact). Think about it this way: you can't cure someone's cancer simply by loving them and trying to make them happy. You can support them throughout their illness, but you are not responsible for curing it, you are not ABLE to cure it (only the proper treatment can do that). Mental illness is similar to physical illnesses in this regard. Please remember to take care of yourself too. This clearly isn't easy for you either. Make sure you are seeking support from friends + family, getting enough rest, etc.

Thank you so much for your replies, it really means a lot.
Just to quickly cover the "carer" role I took, I wouldn't really say this happened from day one, it has gradually taken place after a few years. I know moving countries is hard and having a language barrier can be difficult so I didn't necessarily see it as being a carer but just supportive husband in her moving countries. But I am a nice guy, maybe too nice, and her sickness probably took advantage of it.
We didn't marry in a rush, and her problem wasn't really causing us any issues before the marriage, it was probably a year or so into it that it started to become worse on myself. Sure I would consider going to a marriage counselor but I think it's hard now while she is trying to recover and I'm in another country.
I know I haven't provided the most in-depth information about it and it's hard to go over everything and let you see the whole picture. I genuinely believe she wants this sickness to end now as she has decided to take this action herself. I've always tried to encourage her to do this but in the end it's up to her, she needs to want to do it. jay27, what you said about her possibly having many mental illnesses, I would not doubt that as she does have other habits such as short temper, lack of structure and motivation and has been also finding it hard to pass her driving test due to lack of focus. Sure some could just be personality but could be something else. She also does smoke and kind of links up her eating habits with her smoking routine.
She is in Norway now because she is staying with her parents and her brothers and sisters so this is the reason why she is there and she feels at home there more so than our home here in the UK. I don't think she ever really felt at home here, as she has no friends and found it hard to integrate with my family on a close level even though they are very loving and open to her. She blocks people and prevents them from getting close. Another thing she likes to do is look at old videos and photos of past memories and she always loves to live in the past. She says before she had this illness, she was the happiest person on earth. This was when she was 16, but she was overweight at the time and it seems her mum may have caused her to have this problem.
I recently found out that the cause of her illness was her mum bullying her. She was ashamed to have an overweight daughter (around 80kg for a 5ft 2" girl). She use to call her names and be disgusted when she would try buy her clothes and see she didn't fit in them. She personally didn't care about her weight and was just a happy child. The real reveal was the fact that her mum actually gave her the idea to start throwing up her food to lose the weight. I couldn't believe this when I heard it, it was an absolute shock. She blames her mum now but she just tells her "your weight is fine now so just stop throwing up", but she is a little old fashioned and doesn't understand how these illnesses work and that it can't be just switched off.
So now I know why she started doing this and it's a huge shame it came from her mother.
I don't want to let go, I don't want to give up, I know it's hard and could well be a long shot to make this work but I have faith and I want to work through it.
She has made an appointment to see a specialist who she will see next week. She has no commitments now, no job, no school or anything to distract her, she said she will put her full time into this. I trust her and don't want to be angry with her for putting me in this position as I know she is hurting too and it's not her fault.
Maybe to help you understand her thought process currently, this is a message she recently sent me when I asked her if it's something to do with me why she left. "No honey it's not you, it's me and I'm not fair with you. Everything I do is against you and you treat me like a princess. I need to sort myself out first because I'm not happy with myself or the way I'm treating you. It's not a fair relationship. I don't feel any joy and I'm pulling you down with me. I will seek help. I don't want this to continue like this anymore. We need both peace of mind. I can't love you if I'm not really loving myself. I do love you but I can't show you like a wife should. And I believe it's because of my sickness. "
This may give you an idea of how she feels right now. What do you guys think?
09-16-2014 #6
I feel like there's so much hope there honestly. She has truly admitted she has a problem, she wants to change, and she has taken steps to get the proper treatment. And it seems clear that you both love each other and want to make this work. It certainly won't be easy, but in my personal opinion you guys are on the right track. Best wishes for the both of you.

Her mum omg..
Go with what your heart says it the right thing to do! I can trust you'll make the right decision as there's a lot of love going on here... How many husbands would give the time to look into this kind of stuff? How many lovers have stayed and tried to understand the moment a secret like this is shared?
All strong relationships like yours will have difficult times it's gonna be the actions you make that either make or break the relationship. You've come this far by choosing the actions you've made. You followed your heart! You don't need us to tell you what to do as you already know.
As myself I would tell my partner to move away too as I know I will be very hard to put up with and I won't mean anything I say. It's not easy. But really, I would love him there and just hope he wouldn't take my abuse seriously lol. He's always been able to calm me down though whenever I've felt that point so this hasn't been a problem. So maybe you should work at that more? Find ways that calm her down and de-stress her. Or just hold her close and don't say anything?
It's a lonely disease you know.. I just think maybe if you were there with her ... Have you thought of moving to Norway? UK is a dump to be fair. Lol. I'd gladly move if I was given the opportunity!!Sometimes when things are falling apart..
They may actually be falling into place.

Thank you for your kind words, it's very encouraging. I have thought about moving to Norway and I would do it but my business is here and it's a little tricky but as I run an online business, it's not impossible!
She tells me she doesn't want any of my family to know, even now I can't say but I feel it's hard to be alone. I just need someone to talk to and tell them everything in my head and this is why I turned here. She doesn't want anyone to know or feel pity for her. I just tell my family she is in depression mode and needs time to recover.
Any suggestions on how I can get help for myself to learn to cope with her condition and how to deal with it and help her in any way?
Many thanks
you're a great guy, man. a GREAT guy. seriously. a wonderful person. not many people really care about others the way you obviously do.
i'm bulimic and very depressed. honestly, i'm not sure what there is you CAN do. the fact that you still want to stick by her is so amazing. i think listening if she wants to talk is just the best help you can give. tell her you're supportive and will always stand by her. you shouldn't do everything for her, and you shouldn't be living YOUR life to make HER happy.
some bulimic roomie tips: for me, i love a guy who will hold me accountable & take charge a little. not let me puke around him. just because you're her hubby doesn't mean you're not a person who deserves respect. if it is obvious what she's doing (puking, eating a ton, etc), call her out.

I've tried this route before and it didn't go too well. She hated me and didn't talk to me and causes huge arguments. Normal response is "this is nothing to do with you, don't get involved". Of course it is to do with me but she can't be reasoned with if someone gets in the way of her habit.
I agree however that I should try be a bit more in charge, but perhaps choose those moments when to act that way. Anyway now we're away from each other, I can't really control her any more. I will try encourage from a distance.

Instagram®-worthy hair isn't cheap: between frequent salon visits for hair color and cuts to splurge-worthy extensions and the occasional blowout, it's easy to drop a month's worth of rent to keep your gorgeous strands in check. But once you've been cut or colored, the spending doesn't stop there. You'll have to stock up on daily styling necessities, including shampoo and conditioner, hairsprays, serums, and more.
Thankfully, you can save a little money on these go-to products — and we have the expert advice to prove it. Though celebrity stylists have access to the most luxurious formulas on the market, they still rely on drugstore essentials to create their red carpet-ready looks. Here, five top celebrity hair experts (including Kim Kardashian's stylist and Olivia Munn's colorist!) share their affordable favorites, proving styling products don't have to be costly to be effective.The celebrity stylist: Justine Marjan
Her famous clients: Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Olivia Culpo, and Kerry Washington
The key product: TRESemmé® Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray in Extend ($5)
Why she loves it: "The micro mist technology in this hairspray allows the product to be absorbed into the hair instead of sitting on top. This means hair can move and bounce back to the style without getting messy. I'll use it post-styling for hold, or I'll spray it directly on my smoothing brush before brushing the hair for even more flexible hold."The celebrity colorist: Cassondra Kaeding
Her famous clients: Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Munn, Meg Ryan, Rooney Mara, and Katherine Schwarzenegger
The key product: Redken® Frizz Dismiss® Sulfate-Free Shampoo ($11) and Conditioner ($16)
Why she loves it: "This shampoo and conditioner provides smoothness and shine and it really helps calm frizz. I use this duo myself because I can wash my hair and let it air-dry without worrying that my hair looks like a lion's mane."The celebrity stylist: Glen 'Coco' Oropeza
His famous clients: Chrissy Teigen, Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, and Zooey Deschanel
The key product: John Frieda® Frizz-Ease® Extra Strength Serum ($10)
Why he loves it: "This serum has so many hair health benefits, it's almost as if you're using a leave-in conditioner. I love using it for sleek looks, or when brushing all of the hair back into a smooth ponytail or bun. It's also great for second and third day hair, to get it all out of your face."The celebrity colorist: Chad Kenyon
His famous clients: Elisabeth Moss, Abigail Spencer, Rachel Keller, and Carla Gugino
The key product: Klorane® Sun Lightening Spray with Chamomile and Honey ($18)
Why he loves it: "I started buying and using Klorane hair products when I lived in Madrid. This is one of my favorite spring and summer hair 'accessories' — it's perfect for this time of year because it naturally creates blonde to honey-toned highlights on blonde and light brown hair, respectively. Chamomile extract and honey lighten and soften hair. The lightening process is progressive, so it just keeps getting better with use, and the sun will accelerate the process even more. Note: the formula has no bleaching agents, so there's no brassiness. Just spritz it on for some SS19 hair radiance."The celebrity stylist: Mischelle Navar
Her famous client: John Mayer
The key product: L'Oréal® Elnett Satin® Extra Strong Hold Hair Spray ($13)
Why she loves it: "This is hands-down my favorite hairspray — it's a classic. I love that you can still brush through the hair after you spray it, while still keeping the style in place. It's also great for flyaways, gives the hair a beautiful shine, and doesn't flake, which is so important."

>…maybe I'll go do this. Let's see, I'm silly, I love me some stoopid internets humor, I love the kittehs, and — bonus! — I can't spell worth a frak anymore because of too much Middle English. Yup, I think I'm qualified.

>Glad to hear your spelling has tanked. For me it was too many 17th C manuscripts. Now I never know what "looks" right. It doesn't help to read both English and American scholarly work, with different spelling conventions.
>That's the benefit of working on France – my modern French has never been as solid as I'd like, so the corruption from reading too many early sixteenth-century manuscripts isn't as obvious. And since I don't have to comment on student papers in French, it's only an issue when I'm actually *in* France. But the French are always so delighted when an American makes any effort at all to communicate in French that they are more than willing to overlook it :)Barb
>I think reading composition papers did it for me. I'm probably not reading enough Middle English!

The PROVEN 7-Day Formula
I use to 10X my business, increase my mental and
spiritual health, achieve my goals, and
Thrive in Life
There are two ways to achieve your goals. The first involves working yourself to the bone at the expense of your health, relationships, and family hoping things might go right.
You know what I'm talking about. You see these people at events or at meetups. They look tired, their clothes are worn, their families haven't seen them in ages, and even though they spend eighty hours a week working, they never get closer to their goals. Relationships are their main barriers in life.
These people seldom reach their goals, and if they do, they never enjoy it because they aren't aligned with their intentions. The reason why is because they were taught that intentions are the same as their focus and goals. But this is not true and is often the main barrier to their results.
They believe in working harder, taking on more responsibility, and putting in more hours than everyone else.
They Are Mistaken. There Is A Better Way.
The truth is, working harder to achieve their goals won't help. What they need to do is set their Intentions. Setting Intentions accelerates the success to reaching goals. Setting intentions gets you clarity, and clarity leads to actions which get results.
Why Intentions Gets Results
Do you ever wonder why people set the same goals and never achieve them? Every year they plan to make more money, increase their business, lose weight, and spend more time with their family only to quickly get discouraged, give up, and revert to their old ways.
The truth is successful people – the ones who reach their goals year after year – don't have special skills, unusual genetics, or endless luck. No. Successful people reach goals more than other people because they mastered the art of setting intentions.
What does that mean?
Setting Intentions Means:
- Starting every day with purpose
- Leveraging your emotional state
- Being In Sync with your knowing
- Being in touch with your intuition and using it as a personal GPS
- Being able to anticipate and move past problems other people get stuck on
- Developing mindfulness to know when your intuition is RIGHT
Ask Yourself This…
Would you sleep better knowing every day your intentions are going to lead you to get the results you want?
If so, I can help.
Introducing the shortest path to realizing your dreams, achieving your goals, and mastering your intentions in seven days:
Intention Setting To Synchronicity:
A 7-Day Course
A premium online course and proven path for setting your intentions to be In Sync, achieve your goals, and start experiencing joy in your life.
Based on years of personal experience, testing, and research, this 7-day course teaches you:
- The meaning and purpose of intentions
- How to tap into your emotional power
- How to understand where fear comes from and how to deal with it
- And more.
Intentions are the next step in your journey to success. Mastering intention setting cultivates clarity, mindfulness, and intuition – all skills necessary for succeeding in every market.

Earlier this year, I did a post about spring color palettes where I found spring clothing I loved and paired it with a room in a similar color scheme. I loved this post because I fall into color ruts incredibly easy. It was fun to see both clothes and rooms that are a little out of my comfort zone. So, I thought I'd do a summer palette post. Now, I know you're thinking .... Jenn, summer began a couple months ago. BUT, in my defense, summer in Oregon doesn't begin until July, so I'm right on time :).
Palette #1
Similar to my post last week about my navy/coral adventures, aqua and orange are just lovely. Oh, and I'm completely coveting this dress.
Palette #2
These fun, almost pastel colors are ground by the deep royal purple. I had a little trouble finding this color in a room, which is unfortunate because it really is lovely, but I do love the limited use of purple below. It adds a nice pop of color.
Palette #3
I love this palette. It's so feminine and pretty, but the red adds a dash of spicy. Tread lightly around this color scheme. It can be a little overwhelming and a little red hat society. The room below is a lovely example of how small doses of red and purple can brighten up a room.
What is YOUR favorite color palette this summer?
Happy friday friends! Thanks for stopping by and visiting this week :).

Millennial Mindset
Toddlers mental health is at risk from online content
June 14, 2019
By: Jenna Rachid
A new Barnardo's report stated that Toddlers mental health is at risk, with many exposed to social media years before they should be.
According to the Telegraph, 60% of the charity's frontline staff said they have seen children under five regularly using social media platforms such as YouTube.
One frontline worker said: 'The children are parented via iPads and phones as it keeps them quiet.
'Addiction to iPads resulting in the child having a meltdown and the parents believing the child has autism or learning needs when in fact it is lack of parental interaction.'
Shocking figures link Domestic violence survivors and the onset of mental ill health
New research reveals that women who have been subjected to domestic violence are three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression, anxiety and other severe mental health conditions.
The study was one of the first in the UK to look at the relationship between domestic abuse and mental health, the Guardian reports.
A third of millennials feel their parents are not able to stay safe online
Up to a third of Millennials are worried about their parents being the victim of a scam, 'due to a lack of technological knowledge', the Mirror reports.
67% of the young respondents stated that they felt it was their duty to provide online support to older relatives. This can put a strain on relationships, 42% of millennials admitted that they avoid interacting with family if they think they need tech support.
Do parents have a right to know the mental health state of their 'adult' children?
66% of students believe that a parent or guardian should be informed about their child's mental health, only if the circumstances are 'extreme'.
The Student Academic Experience Survey, conducted by Advance HE and the Higher Education Policy Institute, also found that 15% of students think parents or guardians should be informed 'under any circumstances'.
'Student wellbeing remains a huge concern… we have a very strong signal here in support of that change,' said Alison Johns, Chief Executive of Advance HE in the Guardian.

USS Edson an opportunity for Tri-Cities area
Michigan needs to be the new home of the USS Edson, a retired destroyer that dates to 1956. Bay County officials hope they get the nod from the U.S.
Up for a challenge?
Michigan needs to be the new home of the USS Edson, a retired destroyer that dates to 1956. Bay County officials hope they get the nod from the U.S. Navy and that the ship soon will be docked at Independence Park on the Saginaw River. The Edson, stretching more than 400 feet, would serve as a permanent floating museum.
Unfortunately Wisconsin wants the ship, too.
Michigan should be doing everything in its power to bring the ship here.
It's all good news for us. A marketing study has determined the floating naval museum will draw 83,000 visitors to the Saginaw River, bring in $790,000 in tax revenue a year for the state and nearly $426,000 in local taxes, create 115 jobs and generate $540,000 in annual revenues to Bangor Township's Saginaw Valley Naval Ship Museum.
Some Michigan leaders already are on the bandwagon, with letters of support from Gov. Granholm, U.S. Sen. Carl Levin and U.S. Congressman Dave Camp. A campaign is ongoing to raise money for pier improvements and fuel costs to tow the ship from the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where the ship is now.
A quick check on the Wisconsin effort's website shows that group means business, and wants the ship as much as we do.
It's time to bring out the big guns, and that means state officials, officials from throughout the Tri-Cities and local residents need to join in the effort. Citizens can show their support by writing the Saginaw Valley Naval Ship Museum Office at 3727 Wilder Road, Suite B, Bay City, MI 48706, or by visiting the museum's Edson website at http://ussedson.org/ to learn about other opportunities to help.
