The scariest story you'll read all day....
Quote
ATLANTA — Ponds and swamps are becoming eerily silent.
The familiar melody of ribbits, croaks and chirps is disappearing as a mysterious killer fungus wipes out frog populations around the globe, a phenomenon likened to the extinction of dinosaurs.
Scientists from around the world are meeting Thursday and Friday in Atlanta to organize a worldwide effort to stem the deaths by asking zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens to take in threatened frogs until the fungus can be stopped.

What's the scariest newstory you've ever read??
Actually, the scariest news story I've ever read is something that may never happen. Its if a star nearby our own goes supernova. If that happens within 10 light years from our own star, it will most likely burn off our ozone layer, leaving us completely susciptible to UV radiation from our own sun, which would kill most living things soon after exposure. The scariest thing is there are at least 10 stars within that range that could go supernova anyday and we wouldn't know until we saw it in the sky... scary...

Reply:That hillery clinton is running for president. I would much rather hear of the extinction of bill and hillery and all of liberalism than of frogs. Frog legs are excellent eating.
Reply:What you cite here is frightening enough! It's close enough to affect humanity and it's real. And ppl who are a lot smarter than me don't have the answer! I've read some books about bigger things to fear but when things like this happen I'm paying attention!
The worse story I can think of was about Flesh Eating Fungi.

Reply:That fact that the polar ice caps are melting, because of polution. If it is not stopped than evernually we will be underwater!! very scary.

Have you ever just taken one of your children (25) and spent the day enjoying nature and taking photos in turn
Just came back from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens where we spent the afternoon looking at the flowers and taking pictures (5 rolls of film). We took turns with my camera, exchanging lens' and filters with the hopes that we'll get at least one usable photo. There will be plenty, I'm sure. She's a good photogragher. The really good thing about it all was that we were looking for pics to blow up and give to my son and his girlfriend for their new apartment. Life, at times, does not get simpler, nor better.
Namaste
Peace and Love

I like the person above me - I LOVE the Fox, grew up in it - so think anything there is worthwhile. They have a Monday night film festival - and it doesn't really matter what the movie is, you can spend your time roaming around the building if it doesn't interest you, they'll play the organ - and it's a HUGE screen. Goodstuff.

Tough Calculus Problem.?
A landscape architect plans to enclose a 1300 square foot rectangular region in a botanical garden. She will use shrubs costing $25 per foot along three sides and fencing costing $10 per foot along the north side.
(a) If x is the length of fencing used, write a formula for the total cost in terms of x only.
C(x) =
(b) Find the length of fence that will minimize the total cost.
x = feet
(c) Find the minimum total cost. Give your answer to the nearest penny

Tough Calculus Problem.?
If x is the length of the north side, it must be the length of the south side. Moreover, the length of the east and west sides is 1300/x.
So, for A, you have (10+25)x + (25*2)(1300/x) as the cost. Simplifying, Cost=35 x + 65000/x.
We can then take the derivitive d(Cost)/dx =
35 - 65000/ x^2. We set this = to zero, and x is then sqrt (65000/35), which is about 43-44 ft.
Once you have minimum x, solve the C(x) equation for that value.
Reply:(a) C(x) = 10 x + 25*(x+2*1300/x)
(b) Since x %26gt; 0, let's minimize C(x) for x%26gt;0.
dC/dx = 10+25*(1-2*1300/x^2) = 35 -65000/x^2
dC/dx =0 or x^2 = 65000/35 = 13000/7
Thus, x = sqrt(13000/7) = 43.09 feet for minimum cost.
(c) minimum cost = C(sqrt(13000/7)) = $ 3016.62.

Any suggestions for wedding venues (for 15-20 tables), non-hotel, non-restaurant?
i'm looking for wedding venue(s) outside of the usual hotels, or restaurant? Sit-down dinner/lunch for 15 - 20 tables. ACM, Art Museum, Art House, Botanical Garden, Zoo, Mandai Orchid, anybody has experience to share? Cost? And any other venues all welcome. Thks!

I had my wedding reception at Leicester Tigers Rugby ground and it was superb! Food was excellent, service was perfect. Couldn't have been better if we'd had a 5 * hotel. Worth looking at what's near to you in that line
Reply:Museums are FANTASTIC, but pricey sometimes. If you're close to any universities which have theaters or galleries, that would be a great option. It probably won't cost you an arm and a leg, either.
Reply:Don't forget religious sites, convention halls like IMM or Suntec City ballrooms, and also your neighbourhood community clubs. Even country clubs are fine.

Please help this newbie ... Atlanta, GA Attractions?
I need help planning my trip tp atlanta, ga
These are the places I wanted to visit if purchasing the city pass. Aquarium,World of Coca Cola, CNN, Botanical Garden, Zoo, High Museum of Art .. Now I've read that world of coca cola and the Aquarium is right next to each other or walking distance and also cnn studio . is that true ... now is there a way of parking at one attraction and taking the marta to the others .can you do that ? also is it easy to use the marta to get to all these attractions and what would be the estimate cost and time to get to the attractions using the marta..and heading back to where u left your vehicle ...... I know this is a million questions but I would really appreciate the answers. thanks in advance. Newbie heading to atlanta, ga
Please help this newbie ... Atlanta, GA Attractions?
yes coke world is right next to the aquarium, and it's a short walk through the olympic park to cnn. if you have the car, it's not worth taking marta - it only costs about $5 to park down there. around midtown and piedmont park (botanical garden and the high museum), it will be a little more expensive, but you can also find limited on-street parking around there, especially if you don't mind walking. marta is about $2 per ride. idk about the zoo or if it's even accessible by train (doubt it, though), but everything else is not more than 15-20 min ride.

A winter wedding or a spring wedding?
Me and my fiance can't decide whether we should have a spring or winter wedding? I know my family would be thrilled if we had a spring wedding. We were originally planning to have our wedding reception at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. However, I thought about my allergies and how bad my eyes look during that time. Overall, winter (whether with snow or not) is a more happier time for me out of all the seasons! But everyone would be happy in a spring wedding to see the flowers. If we did a winter wedding it would be at a place called the Palace. It's gorgeous and roomy and big. The Brooklyn Botanic is pretty in it's glass house reception but I was worried it is not as roomy. I seriously can't decide. Help?
A winter wedding or a spring wedding?
Winter would be beautiful with a lot of red flowers, the snow and you could get one of those pretty capes...If you have allergies i would stay away from the spring, or you could have a fall wedding....
Reply:i always wanted a spring wedding....now that i am planning one for us next june, i wish we were doing a winter wedding. i want sooo badly to have a winter wonderland themed wedding!!!! everyone has weddings in the spring/summer and yes it is warm outside and the colors are beautiful....but still. I think a bride walking down the aisle in a gorgeous dress, beautiful hair and tanned skin, long gloves on and red roses is a gorgeous wedding! Just the name "Palace" sounds stunning!!! Go for a winter wedding!!! Plus here is something i think is adorable.....pass out hot chocolate as your guests are leaving the reception hall at night!!!!
Reply:winter would be better with your allergies and it sounds like thats what you want, just dont do it too close to Christmas (if you celebrate it).
Reply:Winter is cheeper so you can save money, but stay away from the chocolate fountain do to sickness
as a Spring wedding would be fun but if you have alergies how much fun will you have? Try to stay away from the bees would not be fun to get stung on the day of your wedding
If you do a winter wedding look at the snow for a starting point
If you do a spring wedding you have flowers
Good luck
Getting married 12/12/09 and having a Winter Wonderland
Reply:I am all for winterbride Late winter just before flowers start to come out of their buds but are already showing some colour in their buds.
Kinda nice symbolism promise and start of something beautiful
Reply:I would say in the long run it should be up to you. However, you should factor in if you have it in the winter, IF the weather should be bad on your wedding day would your guests arrive safely? Also, if you have it in the spring you could go to your doctor and get some medications for your allergies. Your optomitrist can give you drops for your eyes so they won't be red and itchy. Plus for flowers it would be cheaper in the spring because you would have a better choice because more are in bloom than in the winter.
Back to the weather...remember snow and ice. I live in the midwest and that was a big factor for my wedding. We ended up having it in the fall. No cold weather and allergies for me are not that bad that time of year. I hope I helped a little with your planning or thoughts!
Reply:I will make this even more difficult. I like a fall wedding. We got married the Saturday before Thanksgiving. My sister during October(the foliage made an excellent background).
Reply:Sounds like the winter is your best choice! Based on your allergies, it doesn't sound like you would be a happy or pretty bride in the Spring! You want to enjoy this day and most of all to look beautiful and not be miserable with dreary allergies! Don't risk it! Just plan for winter! The downfall on winter is the weather is unpredictable...with snow, ice, sleet and freezing rain at times, and airports have many delays, an inconvenience for out of town guests. You also have to consider when would be the best time for family and friends to fly in for your wedding, that's if you're having people from out of town attending.
You could also talk to your allergy doctor and have him give you one of those mega shots a few days prior to the wedding to relieve and spare you of your allergies for that day. I would talk to the doctor and try out the allergy shot prior to see if it really works first. Just maybe another option! But you are the best judge as to how bad your allergies are and how bad they can get!
Remember you want to be able to enjoy your wedding!!!
Good Luck and hopefully you will be a allergy free and beautiful bride! Good Luck!
Reply:You write, "I thought about my allergies and how bad my eyes look during that time."
Do you really want to be miserable with allergies during your wedding?
If your health is better in the winter, then marry in winter.
Besides . . . you write, "If we did a winter wedding it would be at a place called the Palace. It's gorgeous and roomy and big."
So enjoy your wedding. Go for the gorgeous and roomy place that won't disturb your allergies.
Reply:Hi Niki and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Well, living in Michigan, I can certainly understand about your allergies. I think everyone in Michigan has allergies!
What about the fall? In between seasons....or is that miserable for your allergies too? I LOVE the fall (September, October, November?) It's cooler, but still not too cold.
But if you must choose between Spring and Winter, given your allergies...I would go with winter.
Good luck with your decision!
Reply:It sounds like you would enjoy a winter wedding the most. It is your day, so go for it. Everyone will have a good time, if you do. They aren't coming to see the flowers, they are coming to witness your marriage.
Reply:It's your most special day! HAVE IT YOUR WAY! sounds like you're leaning towards Winter. I've been to Winter weddings, they are just as beautiful as Spring ones!
Reply:If your guests do not have far to travel (especially in the event of poor weather), take a risk and go for the winter wedding.
I live in Central PA (used to live in Northern NJ) so I am in a similar region weather-wise to you. I purposely am avoiding a winter wedding because too many family members would need to travel a great distance to attend and weather could keep a number of my guests from attending (or from being able to get there).
We could deal with rain, but a nor'easter would be disasterous and I'm not willing to risk it.
Reply:From your question, it seems you are leaning toward a winter wedding. If that is what you want, then you should really do it. I would be careful about having it near holidays and how that might complicate things. I was at a winter wedding a few years back. They decorated in the light blues and silvers, using snowflakes and icicles. It was beautiful. A lot of this type of stuff is on sale right after Christmas. If you do a winter, make sure you buy a nice hooded cape and muff and a nice overcoat for the groom. Will make beautiful pics. You can also do the ice sculptures and most flowers are cheaper because of off season. Good luck with your wedding
Reply:This is a very interesting question and the response should be tailored so that the greatest benefit flows toward the relationship and not just one person in the relationship. Winter may be nice, but you are competing with Halloween, which is a great boost for the band's theme. With Thanksgiving, everyone comes together and it is a time of family and togetherness. With Christmas, people feel the general urge to spend money on gifts. October, November, and December all have these distractions in them that can possibly demonstrate decreased financial support from family members and friends.
It is just a harder time of the year, financially speaking. Springtime does have a large void in it, but it is bouncing off of Valentine's Day (your day), and has Easter. I'm saying all of this because each year, at your place of employement, you may want to take some vacation time. This vacation time may just be easier to take in the Spring. There may possibly be more money around that time as well, because people are usually getting there tax returns back by April 15th if they filed in February or March (as most of the population does).
I'm saying these things because it may just appear that things are more favorable for the groom in Springtime because there are financial things we often consider (despite how wealthy we may be). The Winter wedding may seem more sensational and may, in actuality, may be more costly. The Spring wedding may be less expensive, but just as sensational.
I know you are looking for that perfect day %26amp; moment, but consider the groom's input as well. It is your day, but after the wedding and honeymoon, the finances %26amp; cost have to be dealt with. I've seen many couples have that luxurious, fairytale wedding but that expensive wedding may actually kill the honeymoon. He may push for springtime because it relates to good timing and the best overall outcome for the band, his bride, and financially speaking (men do worry over money).... while you may push for that perfect day considering only yourself, your allergies, your mood, your box, your own world.
It is your day, but make sure you include him in the wedding. Follow his lead ...otherwise, the marriage becomes an obligation and a strain to him. Sit down and talk this out like a couple and decide which season each of you would derive the maximum benefit. If he is bent on Spring, take a Claritin D, minimize the flowers in the wedding, and just know that it is not really about the wedding or the honeymoon, but what matters is the COMMUNICATION occuring after the spotlight is off of you.
Many times, the wedding is paid for by family members and everything is provided because of "outside wealth". If this is the case- it is truly your day, but please focus on sharing and communicating your love towards him. In his mind, he is marrying you and ...in your mind, you are marrying him. Each of you are taking the time to solidify a partnership and each of you are doing the other a favor.
I know, your eyes can be affected because of your allergies, but really.. you are always beautiful in his mind and in his opinion. He is not going to be thinking, "Gee, her eyes are really messed up and she is making me loook bad!". Just capture the moment. If your eyes are swollen shut with a runny nose, but you sacrifice that for the better outcome of the relationship- he'll plant his lips on you so good, so tight, and so right. You want his heart and he wants yours. Have a wedding every 2 years and renew those precious vows... because the security of knowing he will always be there to love you during the hills %26amp; valleys in life means so much!

In my opinion, happily take a claritin D and have a Spring wedding if HE leads you in that direction. Be blessed and God loves you.
Reply:Think of the kind of person you are! That should help you decide! But I think i would go for the winter one!

Reply:You should do the winter one, because it sounds like that's what YOU want to do! Don't have a spring wedding just because it would make everyone else happy.
Reply:its your day, noone elses! pick what suits you best and what you want if ur that concerned with allergies have a winter wedding or take sum anti-histamines
but if winter is what you really want then go for winter especially if it is ir favourite season!
Reply:heres my two cents
i know you sound like you'd love to have a winter wedding however think about this...
if you have a winter wedding and theres honestly a bad snow/ice storm, and your able to make it? but what if the rest of the people aren't able to make it? that would seriously stink, esp if you have people from out of town...
I opted for a spring wedding :)
Reply:I got married in the winter... no rain to worry about... everything is cheaper because its off season... and we loved going to a warm honeymoon from the cold weather. The snow was a beautiful backdrop in our pictures and we had some spectacular ice scuptures too. Winter weddings can be georgeous! You can still have lots of flowers if you want at your reception. Good luck!!
Reply:In general, people would like to see flowers and good weather. Best wishes
Reply:I would go with Winter. You don't want to be all puffed up. Prices are higher in the Spring and Summer because everyone wants to get married then. Winter will give you and all your guests the opportunity to wear velvet and furs and dress to the hilt.
A winter wedding or a spring wedding?
Winter would be beautiful with a lot of red flowers, the snow and you could get one of those pretty capes...If you have allergies i would stay away from the spring, or you could have a fall wedding....
Reply:i always wanted a spring wedding....now that i am planning one for us next june, i wish we were doing a winter wedding. i want sooo badly to have a winter wonderland themed wedding!!!! everyone has weddings in the spring/summer and yes it is warm outside and the colors are beautiful....but still. I think a bride walking down the aisle in a gorgeous dress, beautiful hair and tanned skin, long gloves on and red roses is a gorgeous wedding! Just the name "Palace" sounds stunning!!! Go for a winter wedding!!! Plus here is something i think is adorable.....pass out hot chocolate as your guests are leaving the reception hall at night!!!!
Reply:winter would be better with your allergies and it sounds like thats what you want, just dont do it too close to Christmas (if you celebrate it).
Reply:Winter is cheeper so you can save money, but stay away from the chocolate fountain do to sickness
as a Spring wedding would be fun but if you have alergies how much fun will you have? Try to stay away from the bees would not be fun to get stung on the day of your wedding
If you do a winter wedding look at the snow for a starting point
If you do a spring wedding you have flowers
Good luck
Getting married 12/12/09 and having a Winter Wonderland
Reply:I am all for winterbride Late winter just before flowers start to come out of their buds but are already showing some colour in their buds.
Kinda nice symbolism promise and start of something beautiful
Reply:I would say in the long run it should be up to you. However, you should factor in if you have it in the winter, IF the weather should be bad on your wedding day would your guests arrive safely? Also, if you have it in the spring you could go to your doctor and get some medications for your allergies. Your optomitrist can give you drops for your eyes so they won't be red and itchy. Plus for flowers it would be cheaper in the spring because you would have a better choice because more are in bloom than in the winter.
Back to the weather...remember snow and ice. I live in the midwest and that was a big factor for my wedding. We ended up having it in the fall. No cold weather and allergies for me are not that bad that time of year. I hope I helped a little with your planning or thoughts!
Reply:I will make this even more difficult. I like a fall wedding. We got married the Saturday before Thanksgiving. My sister during October(the foliage made an excellent background).
Reply:Sounds like the winter is your best choice! Based on your allergies, it doesn't sound like you would be a happy or pretty bride in the Spring! You want to enjoy this day and most of all to look beautiful and not be miserable with dreary allergies! Don't risk it! Just plan for winter! The downfall on winter is the weather is unpredictable...with snow, ice, sleet and freezing rain at times, and airports have many delays, an inconvenience for out of town guests. You also have to consider when would be the best time for family and friends to fly in for your wedding, that's if you're having people from out of town attending.
You could also talk to your allergy doctor and have him give you one of those mega shots a few days prior to the wedding to relieve and spare you of your allergies for that day. I would talk to the doctor and try out the allergy shot prior to see if it really works first. Just maybe another option! But you are the best judge as to how bad your allergies are and how bad they can get!
Remember you want to be able to enjoy your wedding!!!
Good Luck and hopefully you will be a allergy free and beautiful bride! Good Luck!
Reply:You write, "I thought about my allergies and how bad my eyes look during that time."
Do you really want to be miserable with allergies during your wedding?
If your health is better in the winter, then marry in winter.
Besides . . . you write, "If we did a winter wedding it would be at a place called the Palace. It's gorgeous and roomy and big."
So enjoy your wedding. Go for the gorgeous and roomy place that won't disturb your allergies.
Reply:Hi Niki and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Well, living in Michigan, I can certainly understand about your allergies. I think everyone in Michigan has allergies!
What about the fall? In between seasons....or is that miserable for your allergies too? I LOVE the fall (September, October, November?) It's cooler, but still not too cold.
But if you must choose between Spring and Winter, given your allergies...I would go with winter.
Good luck with your decision!

Catholic Wedding Craziness? HELP?
Alright. My fiance and I are both Catholic. I went to a Catholic high school and a Catholic college and I attend mass every Sunday (at my college). I'm very religious, but I have never been confirmed, although I was baptized Catholic, and I was raised Catholic (by my grandmother, I wasn't confirmed because my mother does not think she belongs to the Catholic Church anymore since she got divorced). My fiance is also Catholic; he was baptized and confirmed, but he does not attend mass regularly (he works when I go, but I know he just finds it boring).
My fiance is getting deployed in July, and we are getting married in June. I would love to be married by a Catholic priest. However, I thought you couldn't be married by a priest unless you notified the priest 6 months in advance. But now I'm told that's only if you actually want to get married INSIDE the church. I'm having my wedding at a botanical garden. Can I still be married by a Catholic priest? Please help???
Catholic Wedding Craziness? HELP?
You need to go talk to Catholic priests, not us to find your answers. All I know is that it can vary from church and priests.
Reply:Typically you are required to attend several months of classes at the church before you are married. If you aren't confirmed you do so in the course of the classes. Also, you must have a Bishop's permission to have a Catholic ceremony outside of the church. So I would say it would be difficult but not impossible to get everything figured out in time for your fiancé's deployment.
Reply:A priest can only perform a wedding inside a church.
Also, how far ahead notification is needed depends upon the priest and parish. Sometimes it's six months, in a bigger parish it might be a year - so planning can be made for premarital counselling classes, etc.
Reply:Most priests will not marry you outside of a church, since a wedding is a sacred ceremony. You can try talking to the priest at school for general information. Maybe he can refer you to someone.
This is from the U.S. Bishops site:
"5. Why does a Catholic wedding have to take place in a church?
For Catholics, marriage is not just a social or family event, but a church event. For this reason, the Church prefers that marriages between Catholics, or between Catholics and other Christians, be celebrated in the parish church of one of the spouses. Only the local bishop can permit a marriage to be celebrated in another suitable place.
6. If a Catholic wishes to marry in a place outside the Catholic church, how can he or she be sure that the marriage is recognized by the Catholic Church as valid?
"The local bishop can permit a wedding in another church, or in another suitable place, for a sufficient reason. For example, a Catholic seeks to marry a Baptist whose father is the pastor of the local Baptist church. The father wants to officiate at the wedding. In these circumstances, the bishop could permit the couple to marry in the Baptist church. The permission in these instances is called a "dispensation from canonical form."'
Reply:A Catholic wedding may only be performed in a Catholic church. No priest will marry you in a garden or anyplace other than the church.
Reply:I think they will only perform a ceremony if it is in a church. Every church is different though, it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Reply:I just wanted to point out that there is a little bit of misinfo in Kris's answer. I'm sure you (the asker) know this as you've been in the Catholic Church all your life but for Kris. Recieving the Eucharist and Confirmation are two DIFFERENT Rites in the Catholic Church. Most people have their First Communion (or First Eucharist) in the 2nd or 3rd grade of religion/Sunday school at this time they also start Confession. There after it is NOT a sin to recieve the Eucharist. Confirmation is usually done in High School. It is basically the end of Sunday School and a confirmation that your beliefs and loyalty lie within the Catholic Church and that you will not stop learning from God just because you have stopped school.
As far as getting married by a Catholic priest as far as I understood BOTH the bride and the groom must have all their rites (baptised, recieved first eucharist, and confirmation) before they can be married AND it MUST be in the Catholic Church. However, with people's views changing and even the Catholic Church loosening up on certain rules it may vary from priest to priest. I'm sure your school isn't the ONLY Catholic establishment around. Talk to the others in your area, explain your situation and see what they say.
Reply:A Priest I believe can marry you outside if its still inside the church grounds( I'm Catholic and a few couples have got married out side in the church rose garden) but even then they still have done the six months (but in your case it could be sped up )so no he can't marry you at the botanical garden!
To be married in the church only one half off the couple has to be Catholic so you not been confirmed does not matter unless you want to be confirmed which your Preist could help you with!
I would talk to your Priest for advice he may know of a place where you can be married outside by a priest. or helping you get permission from the church to( from the Pope well high up in the church) marry outside the church(takes a long time) or best idea have your outside wedding then when he comes back have your vowels blessed in the Catholic church!
Reply:Hi. Since I am Catholic myself, here is my two-cents.
I have never heard of a Catholic priest that won't marry couples (because it's a college church)? Hmmm....are you correct in that? Have you asked them? All priests have the authority to marry couples, so....if that is true, then they are just not wanting to do this service for whatever reason. I don't know why.
In any case, a Catholic priest will only marry you INSIDE the church (as far as I know). They ARE willing to bend the 6-month rule probably for military people, but you would need to ask.
Call a priest and ask them these questions! That is the only true way to get your answer. Ask the priest at the college church that you attend. Maybe he is willing to do it outside....maybe not.
Reply:A Catholic wedding is a mass with the 'vows' being just a part of the mass, and you can't have a full mass (which is necessary in a Catholic wedding) on non-consecrated grounds without the Archbishop of your diocese 'blessing' the area, and they do that ONLY when the church is being 'fixed' and the masses can't be held in the churth ... this is usually on the grounds of a Catholic high school nearby. So ... see if you can't find an Episcopal priest who will marry you. That marriage will be 'legal' in the Roman Catholic church. You couldn't get married in a Catholic church, since you aren't confirmed, and if you take the Eucharist, you are technically sinning unless you have told the priest and gotten his permission to take the Eucharist (also a very important part of a Roman Catholic wedding). An Episcopal priest CAN marry a person when the wedding is not on consecrated ground, and since you are a 'baptised' Catholic, will give you the Eucharist (an Episcopal wedding is also a full mass) but 'with exception' ... that is basically just a 'legal phrase' meaning he's giving you permission to take the Eucharist in 'another' Catholic church (which the Episcopalian church is) that one time ... So ... call the Episcopal church in the area nearest to the botanical garden you want to get married in ... but if that priest won't, just work your way outward until you find a priest who says s/he will do the wedding. You may have a female priest, but I think that the 'marriage' will be a true marriage in the eyes of God. Good luck, and please take RCIA and get confirmed ... you will be a new 'jewel' in the Roman Catholic crown! (I'm a converted Catholic who was an Episcopalian for 15 years before my conversion ... and I know several 'Roman' priests who are married because they converted and retained their priesthood after conversion ...

Need to know before tomorrow: Should I quit my job and take this one?
I'm 23/m, live in Bronx, NY. I'm trying to keep a job for 6 months until I finish my EMT course. I just started 3 weeks ago at this job that answers the phones for doctor offices. It's ALLLL the way in North White Plains and it's 7am-3pm. Sooo... coming from Allerton ave in the bronx, I have to wake up 4am, WALK 45 min through Botanical Garden to the metro north, I would take a cab but that would be $6 a day. Then I have to wait an hour for the 6am train (it's either 2am or 6am, no choice) all in the freezing cold mind you. It's $10/hour, pays bi-weekly.
BUT, I just went for an interview for a MUCH closer job, the positions are dispatcher ($10/hr) %26amp; customer service ($9/hr). I got hired and he wants me to start tomorrow, he says he's gonna have me try all the positions first just so he can evaluate me but he says i start 2morrow tho at 9am. I'm also scheduled to work at the current job tomorrow at 7am and its also the day of my first paycheck.
Should I go for the new one?
Need to know before tomorrow: Should I quit my job and take this one?
do it!! two weeks notice is only a courtesy anyway. gotta take care of yourself.
Reply:YES!
since the first job is within the first 90 days, you do not have to give a two week notice, you're still only being evaluated for the position. since it is such a pain in the rear to get to, it might be best to call in the morning and let your manager know it's not working out, that you found another job that fits your criteria better and to mail you your check. do not leave a message, talk to the manager personally.
So... what'd ya do?
Reply:If it's more of a convenience to you then I would go to the new job. It's not like you're established at the place you're at. Just go to the manager and let them know that it's not working out and it's just too long distance for you. THank them for the opportunity but it just turns out to be not what you had in mind and you're going to take the other job.
Reply:Yes take this job thats closer.

Marriage Proposals around Chicago...?
I am trying to plan it around later this year, maybe late fall, just trying to figure out a good plan. A few ideas I already had was the botanical garden's, but not sure what it would be like that time of year. About 75% sure I would like to do it there, but how to do it there, I am unsure of. If I needed help to set anything up, that wouldn't be a problem.
I don't plan on doing the View's from tall buildings as she would see that coming already. I am trying to do something different, but romantic at the same time.
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
Marriage Proposals around Chicago...?
The botanical garden is gorgeous in fall, but be aware that it's kind of remote, in the far north suburbs of Chicago. Same with the Morton Arboretum - beautiful, especially in fall, but that's in the far west suburbs of Chicago.
In the city, you might consider the Lincoln Park or Garfield Park Conservatories, Millenium Park (a bit cliche as well, but pretty), Diversey Harbor by the lakefront, a horse carriage on Michigan Avenue - and honestly, I know tall buildings are a bit cliche, but it's hard to say no to anybody atop the Hancock in the Signature Room.
Reply:-I don't know if they do it in late fall but during the summer the water at Buckingham fountain changes colors and a pretty cool display. Might be a nice place to propose.
-A night time boat ride on Lake Michigan with the city skyline all lite up in the background might be nice.
-Ask in advance and find out what days one of the TV news channels will do an out door crowd shot, then you can ask her on TV. Channel 7 does crowd shots alot and is on State and Lake.
Reply:My husband proposed to me at the Chicago Symphony. We had tickets for the very back row. Shortly after it started he walked out and handed me a note that said to meet him in the ballroom. I went up to the ballroom where the doors where opened for me and he was down on 1 knee in the middle of the floor (the ball room is AMAZING). After I said yes we were seated in a private box for the rest of the performance. I know it was pricey for him because he got 2 sets of tickets, but it was so amazing.
Reply:Maybe along side the beach, or the aquarium or somewhere of the likes.. The carousel at Navy Pier may be romantic (over looking the lake and city)..Lincoln Park Zoo may not also be bad, I guess it depends on what your tastes are.

Any ideas for a group outing in Phoenix?
I'm planning a corporate dinner. About 100-125 people. I have already looked into a lot of places but they are either booked, too expensive, or just not what we're looking for.
Places I've already looked into: Desert Botanical Garden, Diamondbacks game, Dave and Busters, Pinnacle Peak Patio, Rawhide, Rockin R Ranch, Lake Pleasant, Lake Saguaro, F1 Race Factory, Castles and Coasters, Rustler's Rooste, and McDonald Ranch.
If anyone has any ideas of a venue that is fun and casual and can cater to a large group of people with good food (or 3rd party catering option) and maybe something to do besides just eat, I would be SOOO grateful.

Try Jillians of Phoenix. http://www.jillians.com My wife and I love that place. They have a lot to do and it's part of an outdoor shopping area very cool.

I know u know the answer.. Question about Atlanta, Ga Attractions :)?
I'm having trouble deciding on which hotel to choose from in atlanta, ga. I'm planning a trip around may. The hotel I'm leaning towards are Atlanta Marriott Northwest and The Ellis Hotel. now I don't know much about atlanta, ga but I heard that you have to pay for parking everywhere . now I was planning to visit the Aquarium, world of coca cola, cnn studio , art museum, zoo, six flags. botanical garden etc. now which hotel is better as far as clean rooms nice service and surring area to take lots of pictures. we don't mind driving to the attractions but what about paying for parking at each attraction is there attrations close to one another where we pay for parking and just walk to the other? I also heard about taking the marta? newbie at that one . also is there any other hotel I might have missed that anyone recommends besides these two. any websites that might help planning a trip to atlanta. Hotels with deals. forgot to mention prices. hotels from $120.00 and under are ok .thanks
I know u know the answer.. Question about Atlanta, Ga Attractions :)?
I always recommend the Wingate Inn at 6 Flags. Right beside the park, and only 3 years old. All the amenities and only 10 minues from downtown, for about 89.00 per nite.
Reply:The Embassy Suites Downtown is a good one. You'd be within a short walk of several of the places you mentioned.
But, expect to pay for parking at just about everywhere.
Marta's a good idea, but it doesn't run anywhere close from the Marriott you mentioned, which is a good selection. But, once you're downtown, you could use it to move around without the hassle of trying to find parking.

I need help creating riddles for a scavenger hunt!! can anyone help me?? (for college ages)(In Arizona)?
Okay, so i have not decided on everything I want to include. My boyfriend and I saw National Treasure 2, and so I'm going to create a scavenger hunt to lead him to a surprise party since his birthday is comming up. (The clues can be symbols too) oh, and I want them a little challenging! :)
destinations:
statue of love downtown
AZ School of Massage Therapy
Camelback mountain
Phoenix Zoo (entrance)
Chinese Cultural Center
Spotted Donkey (restaurant)
Arizona Science Center
The Desert Botanical Garden
The world famous fountain (in fountain hills)
the bridge (at Granada Park)
Castles and Coasters
if you know of anywhere else around Phoenix, Scottsdale, PV, or CaveCreek that would be a good place to hide a clue, let me know!! thanks for your help!!!
I need help creating riddles for a scavenger hunt!! can anyone help me?? (for college ages)(In Arizona)?
Keeping in mind I don't know the area, I really can't get too creative:
Statue of Love - Down where love has never left.
AZ school of Massage Therapy - The safety you feel when you look into the eyes of the state, feel the states hands on your body, and know that you are safe, accepted without judgment, at your own comfort level, the only agenda the state learns is to help you.
Camelback Mountain - As Joe smokes his pack, he will raise the horizon high into the sky. Be careful what you pack Joe, you don't want the climb up the mountin to be back breaking.
Pheonix Zoo - Of the thousands of animals from all over the wrold who live and coexist in this tiny place, only its namesake will rise from the ashes.
Chinese Cultural Center - Where the locals go to learn how to make an Egg Roll and Kung Fu at the same time.
Spotted Doney - Even if you have pox on your ***, you still need to eat.
Arizona Science Center - There is wisdom in the desert where the ways of world are revealed. A brief stay can teach you things you never knew and open your mind to new possibilities.
Desert Botanical Garden - Even in the desert, a rare and delicate flower can bloom.
The World Famous Fountain - Like the Fountain of Youth, an oasis known the world over.
The Bridge at Granada Park - Even though the city and Granada do not always agree, they were able to span their differences. May the tie that allows the cities view point to reach Granada's never burn.
Castles and Coaster - Though you may feel sheltered by the fortified towers, spires, and walls, the real adventure often lurks inside where safety befalls.
Dos Gringos - The Mexicans often talk about the American arrogance, there are two Americans that have endeared themselves as a watering hole in the desert would endear itself to a thirsty traveler.
Reply:I would use word play, synonyms, play on the history angle. Sounds like fun!

Your opinion on this particular engagement proposal?
Spend a whole week taking her out to dinner every single night, somewhere new, somewhere different and each night present her gifts all of which are inside a ring sized box.
On the day of the proposal start off early with either a hot air balloon or helicopter ride over downtown/city.
Then take her out to a fine restaurant to lunch.
A horse and cart ride around downtown/city.
Followed by a walk through a botanical garden or along the beach discussing plans for the future together
Then dinner at another fine restaurant
Followed by a trip to an observatory or watching the penguins come in on shore for the night
Then the moment
Turn to her and tell her how we've been going out for so long and we've really gotten to know each other (building the anticipation) and...
I think we should break...
(Wait for her to say something like, "tell me you don't love me anymore")
Then smile and continue by saying I think we should break the
news to everyone we're getting married
So what do you say
Your opinion on this particular engagement proposal?
Honestly? It's not so good. Too elaborate. But you're in luck because it's better to have too many ideas than not enough. You just need to remember, less is more.
I like the idea of faking her out with the gift in a ring size box, but I would do it once. And do it early on on the same night you're actually going to propose, that way she doesn't have to be disappointed about it for too long.
Also, I think one meal and one walk or whatever is enough. You don't want to make it too long and make her feel like going home before you ever get around to asking.
The other thing is I think there's going to be a very long awkard pause after you say "I think we should break...". I really doubt she'd say anything right away besides "Uh...what?". Then there's also the issue of telling her you guys are getting married rather than asking her if she'll do you the honor of marrying you. She wants to feel like it was her decision and she's making you the happiest man on earth by saying yes. By just telling her, she'll still be happy of course, but it takes that away from her.
P.S. Obviously I don't know this girl personally so I may be wrong about what she wants but I'm just giving you average girl opinion.
P.S.S. Don't worry too much I'm sure whatever you do she'll love it!

Indonesian plant that curls when heat touches it? (My parents introduced it to me as Kumis Kucing) PLEASE HELP
When I was about 5- 6years old, I took a trip to Indonesia with my family... I believe we went to the mountains. I found these plants growing near a field of grass that, when I touch it, the two rows of tiny leaves would curl for minutes and then reopens... My father introduced it to me as Kumis Kucing (cat whiskers in Indonesian). I went to a botanical garden today with my class and found something similar, but it's not quite what I remembered... The name I saw on the plant was Mimosa, which is a Brazilian plant so I'm not sure about that, but the leaves DO curl when I touched it... But I researched it, and Google says that Kumis kucing is Java tea, which does not curl at all... I'm about 90% sure you won't know the answer, but thanks for the effort.
By the way, Mimosa's leaves look exactly like the plant I saw in Indonesia, but the flowers are different. Here's the link to it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa
Java tea is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthosiphon...
Indonesian plant that curls when heat touches it? (My parents introduced it to me as Kumis Kucing) PLEASE HELP
It is mimosa.
In Indonesia we call it "Putri Malu". Which roughly translates into Shy Princess.
Reply:I'm 100% sure that was mimosa pudica, and in indonesia they call it "puteri malu" or shy princess in english. I know it because i'm from indonesia. u can find it everywhere, not just on the mountain. not just it will curl, but it has many tiny spine, and very common in the equatorial country.

What's it like to be a botanist?
Ok, so i'm still thinking about the idea of becoming a botanist. I daydream about it constantly and i was wondering if what i think a botanist's life is what it actually is. So, in my dream botanist world, I would wake up, wearing different shades of green and brown, and grab my tool kit (what ever it may contain, i'm not sure. maybe a magnifiying glass?) and head off into the congo or amazon basin to collect and classify new plant species. I will have spent eight long years in college and currently work at a botanical garden or reasearch facility at a university. I also have a team of five people, some of whom are students. I, as a botanist, travel a lot. I need to have an amazing memory in order to remember all that taxonomy. Oh, by the way, if you are a botanist, how hard was it to memorize all the plant names? Do you ever forget?
Well, what i'm looking for i guess is your personal account of what it's like to be a botanist.
What's it like to be a botanist?
To be a taxonomist these days, you do need to do the eight years of college and get a PhD. As a working taxonomist, I suggest you do the following: go to a college that has a strong structural/morphological component to the undergraduate program. Taxonomy is more about understanding the big picture of relationships amongst plant groups than about learning lots of scientific names. Sure, you will have to learn quite a few in time but you won't ever be a research taxonomist if you can't go beyond "putting names to faces". It is better to know the groupings (families and genera) than memorizing species. When you get into your PhD program you will almost certainly have to use molecular tools but, in my opinion, using molecular tools without a strong grounding in structure and form will not make you a good practical or field taxonomist (although it might make you a good theoretical or academic one).
Now about tools: one of the most useful is the hand-lens (small magnifier, also called a loupe). Something to cut bits from plants to make specimens can also be helpful, and you'll need a plant press to make herbarium specimens. Most botanists also carry the means for collecting small samples for DNA extraction ... this can be packets with silica gel (a dessicator that will absorb the water from the sample and stop it rotting) or sometimes a liquid preservative is used.
Field work in exotic places can be a feature of the work if you are lucky enough to work at a herbarium with international linkages and good funding. I don't know where you live in Texas, but the best herbarium to check out (if you get the chance) is at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas in Fort Worth.
You have to realize that, unless you are working on mosses or ground fungi, collecting plants in the jungle isn't easy because you have to deal with tall trees and collecting is difficult and tree climbing may be required. There are also a few species with defense mechanisms like spines or stinging hairs or poisonous sap (like poison ivy has) that you should be aware of.
Personally I have collected in rain forests, deserts and shrub lands. I don't think I have discovered any new species because I live in a fairly well explored country, although new species are still being found from time to time. However, I have sometimes recognized a herbarium specimen as being a new species. I have had a species named after me and have named species after other people. Both of these are very cool!
And, yes, I do sometimes have trouble remembering the names of some plants! Having a very good memory is an asset, though, especially if you work on a very large group of plants.
Reply:The hours are long the pay is low and the audience is well, non-exisistent. Seriously there is nothing cooler than getting down in the dirt and looking up at the plants. Seeing how they live, work, breathe etc.. Names and identifications come with dilligent study %26amp; hours in the field with scribbled on guides, but the real joy is feeling rooted to the earth wherever you are, knowing u have friends/family everywhere u go! Go for it. Degree or nehhh, you mayyy just make it, 'passion', passiflora in latin.
Reply:It's a lot of fun, actually; you can specialize in one species or in communities or types. You may or may not teach in the "off season" and research in the summer; it depends on what you want and the jobs you can get.
I'd HIGHLY recommend volunteering or interning somewhere so you get a feel for the work. A lot of places (universities, state or national parks, other public land) have internships/volunteer programs and would be happy to mentor someone in exchange for help collecting field data or doing restoration work.
For me, memorizing scientific names is fun and easy--knowing english is a great start because so much of it is a mish-mash of the languages plant names are based on, and having a feel for Greek and Latin also often tells you something about the plant itself (e.g., Corallorhiza maculata is spotted coralroot; or occidentalis means western; etc.).
Reply:Um....you walk around all day in whatever you feel like wearing, carrying a pocketknife and a bag of slides, a camera, and a tape recorder.
Away you go.
Research before you plan too much, it's harder than just walking around in the forest.
Plus, you have to really like plants....not just pretty orchids....but fungi and bryophytes.
Good luck, email me if you wanna know more
Reply:It's like a bed of roses...
Reply:That's the dream world botanist. Very few people trip off to the jungles looking to identify plants. You first have to achieve a major goal, get a PhD. We biologist don't even try to memorize all those names. That's why there are taxonomic books.

Reply:It's a lot of fun, actually; you can specialize in one species or in communities or types. You may or may not teach in the "off season" and research in the summer; it depends on what you want and the jobs you can get.
I'd HIGHLY recommend volunteering or interning somewhere so you get a feel for the work. A lot of places (universities, state or national parks, other public land) have internships/volunteer programs and would be happy to mentor someone in exchange for help collecting field data or doing restoration work.
For me, memorizing scientific names is fun and easy--knowing english is a great start because so much of it is a mish-mash of the languages plant names are based on, and having a feel for Greek and Latin also often tells you something about the plant itself (e.g., Corallorhiza maculata is spotted coralroot; or occidentalis means western; etc.).
Reply:Um....you walk around all day in whatever you feel like wearing, carrying a pocketknife and a bag of slides, a camera, and a tape recorder.
Away you go.
Research before you plan too much, it's harder than just walking around in the forest.
Plus, you have to really like plants....not just pretty orchids....but fungi and bryophytes.
Good luck, email me if you wanna know more
Reply:It's like a bed of roses...
Reply:That's the dream world botanist. Very few people trip off to the jungles looking to identify plants. You first have to achieve a major goal, get a PhD. We biologist don't even try to memorize all those names. That's why there are taxonomic books.

HELP--- Wedding Favor Ideas?
Hi there. I'm getting married next month. We are having a small ceremony and reception before my fiance is deployed to Iraq. We are only having a total of eight guests, so we are trying to come up with wedding favor ideas. We want them to have something personal to remember the day by. We want something lasting, not something that will be used like candy or candles or something like that. Our wedding colors are white and red. We are getting married in a botanical garden. We thought about claddagh themed favors since we are Irish, but everything comes in green only. We can't find anything that really works for us. Does anyone have any ideas? Something unique, but a great memento? We want it to reflect us. We are a fun, light hearted, but romantic couple... we are stumped.

Reply:Favors should be light-hearted, small, and whimsical. They can't carry the burden of etching your happiness onto the hearts of others, so dont even try.
People will either remember your wedding or they won't, a permanent reminder in the form of a gimcrack is an imposition.
It would be thoughtful to have someone take enough pictures that you can be sure there is a good photo of each attendee - frame and send them.
Otherwise, give candy and trust in the fellowship of the heart.
Reply:How about a wind chime or a hummingbird feeder? Or birdhouse. As you only have 8 guests, you could give a plant like a camelia bush or whatever is your favorite flower. Something that grows in your flower "zone" or a small tree. Those all tie in with a garden wedding. Expensive but with only 8 guests it wouldn't be that bad.
Another idea is perhaps an outdoor gift set. Maybe a mosaic table, or outdoor drink bucket. Something for enjoying the outdoors poolside or beachfront. Like a citronella oil lamp you can set outside (I've seen some really beautiful blown glass ones recently). Or Beach towels with a giftcard for sunglass hut.
Reply:I agree with the flag idea. That was my first thought when you said your colors were red and white. It could be a nice American flag that people could fly on Memorial Day and Independence Day.
Or to tie in with the botanical garden, you could buy an exotic plant that will flower for years.
If you and your guests are religious, you might give a nice leather-bound Bible. My family tends to give these for special occasions.
Or perhaps a hand-made blanket or quilt. You wouldn't have to make them yourselve as the wedding is next month, but they are kind of expensive.
Reply:If their is only 8 people that is coming to your wedding, why don't you have a dvd wedding movie to be burned? Or some sort of a video of you, and your husband with different things together in a video with a song with it. Best of Wishes, and Congregations.
Reply:Give your guests a plantable wedding favor. They can watch your love "grow" over the years and it is great for the environment! I think it will be reminiscent of your reception as well. Some ideas are available on: http://www.plantablepaper.com/wedding.ht...
Reply:Since your wedding is in a garden, how about a beautiful white orchid? Every time they water it, they will think of the two of you and pray for him.
Reply:I would love it if the couple sent me a wedding photo or two after the wedding. If you really want to be nice, make it a framed photo.
Best wishes to you and your groom.
Reply:How about some flags since your fiance is in the military? I'm sure people will be feeling patriotic and want to honor him.
Reply:We are making scrolls, tied with a pretty ribbon. There willl be one at each place settting. My finace and I are going to write a personal message to the guest, thanking them for being part of our day....so on
Reply:Get some unfinished picture frames and stain or paint them red and white and put pics of ya'll in the frames. I think that would be really thoughtful and fun

Martinique
About the country:
Martinique is an island between the Caribbean sea and North Atlantice Ocean of Trinidad and Tobago.
The climate is tropical. The temperature is 17.3 C, and it's humid. Martinique also has a dormant volcano, named Mont Pelee.
The best time to go to Martinique is during February to May, when temperatures are about 85 degrees F. Keep in mind that this is the peak tourist season, so everything is expensive and crowded.
The places to go visit are:
Fort-de-France, the capital, is wonderful to explore on foot. Among the sightseeing attractions is the city's architectural masterpiece, the Bibliothèque Schoelcher, or Schoelcher Library, a Romanesque-Byzantine gem built 100 years ago for the Paris Exposition of 1889, then dismantled and shipped to Martinique mosaic by mosaic. Named for Victor Schoelcher, the French abolitionist whose work helped end slavery on the island in 1848, it sits just off La Savane, the central park.
The capital's narrow balconied streets, lined with shops and restaurants, all lead to a pleasant discoveries, including the Cathedral of Saint-Louis, the Palais de Justice with its statue of Victor Schœlcher, the Musée Départemental with archeological finds from prehistoric Martinique and the Rivière Madame with its busy fish markets. There are reasonably-priced guided walking tours of Fort-de-France if you would like to learn more about he city.
You can also go see
Le Gauguin Museum which has paintings from Gaugui.
The Zoo du Carbet which was newly renovated and has animals from the Caribbean, the Amazon and Africa.
The Carbet Botanical Garden also known as the ''Valley of the Butterflies."
La Trace: a dazzling route through the rain forest. This mountainous northern half of the island is also lush with banana and pineapple plantations, avocado groves, cane fields, and several lovely old island inns such as Habitation Lagrange.
Le Precheur: the last village along the northern Caribbean coast, known for hot springs of volcanic origin and the Tomb of the Carib Indians.
Ajoupa Bouillon: enchanting flower-lined town with a nature trail called Les Ombrages and, nearby, the Gorges de la Falaise, mini-canyons along the Falaise River, lead to a waterfall.
Musée du Rhum: operated by St. James Distellery. You are welcome to sample martinique's rums in this Museeum. This museeum is know as a fine contemporary museeum. Meetings of presidents have taken place in this place.

Best Birthday Option for a 7 Year Old in Atlanta???
Okay, here's the thing. We just moved to Jonesboro, Ga (25 min. from Atlanta) and we have no friends or family around. My six year old birthday is coming soon, but I don't know what to do since I don't have anyone to invite to his party. I am planning at least to send some cupcakes to school, and give a "special" day. Meaning taking him to a cool place, buy his favorite food and give him a present.
But my question is ...
What would be neat, really neat? The zoo (but with this climate?), The Fernbank Museum, the botanical garden? The aquarium? or what?
Any other ideas???
Clueless in Atlanta...

Hrmmm... $400?
So, my fiance and I are Catholic. We can't have a traditionally Catholic wedding since we are 1. getting married within a month before he is deployed and 2. getting married in a botanical garden rather than a church. However, we found a priest that is willing to help us incorporate Catholicism in our wedding (he is a married Catholic priest, and a lot of married Catholic priests do things like this... yes they are not allowed to marry, but these ones have anyway). But he wants $400 to do the ceremony. Is this unreasonable? I explained to him about our situation, but he seems to be charging a lot to other officiants. What should I do?
Hrmmm... $400?
Actually, up until about 400(?) years ago, Catholic priests could be married, have families, and leave their money and property to them upon death. Which is why the Catholic church decided that priests should be celibate so that they would not produce offspring that could inherit their property, and then had the priests give over all worldly goods to the Church. It had nothing to do with faith, and everything to do with money. So those who are having a fit over this, calm down!
Reply:Our officiant is charging $650! We're having an outdoor wedding and we're doing a customized Southern Baptist ceremony (except we're not requesting everyone bring a casserole dish! (sorry, Southern Baptist inside joke!)) But my fiance and I both thought this was insane! However, he's the only one who will travel to our venue and do custom ceremony.
Reply:$400 is on par with what officiants in my area are asking (Central PA) so I don't think its too much, but for your area it may be.
Also, what sort of "catholic priest" is married? I've never heard of such a thing and seriously suspect this guy is claiming he is something he cannot be.
Reply:That's not unreasonable - we paid $300 for ours 5 years ago and that was just to come talk to us once and then perform the wedding. If she'd come to the rehearsal or we had more face time with her, it would have been more. I think that $400 is probably pretty common.
Reply:I didn't even know they charged that much!
I don't want all the religious stuff in my wedding.

Reply:400 is about the norm but if this is bothering you or you can't do it go to the justice of the peace and have a nice get together after good luck
Reply:$400 is average. we got married in a catholic church and gave $400. it's not like it goes right in to the priest's pocket - it's a donation to the church.
Reply:this amount of money sounds rather high
Reply:Yeah, that's a lot. It's nice to want to incorporate a priest, but considering your situation, I'd get a judge, or a non-denominational person to do it. It doesn't make you any less religious, it just makes you financially savvy.
People that make a big deal about getting married in a church with a pastor/priest need to quit taking religion superficially, and realize that God looks at your hearts, not all the frivolous nonsense on the outside.
Reply:We had a married Catholic priest perform our ceremony as well! This might be a little off topic, but I had never heard of such a thing until we were planning our wedding. We decided not to get married in the church, but some relatives still were hoping for a Catholic "presence" for the ceremony. When I found this particular priest, I was pleasantly surprised, and everyone was happy! Anyway, to answer your question, I believe we payed our priest around $450. That included his travel to and attendance at the rehearsal, and his travel to and service at the ceremony. He also worked with us to compose a completely original ceremony, specific to us. Personally, I still thought the cost was a little high, but we got so many compliments from guests who thought the ceremony was traditional yet fun. So, it worked out really well. Good luck to you!
Reply:first off.... it would NOT be a Catholic marriage or accepted by the Church since these men are NOT TRUE PRIESTS. there ARE married Catholic priests but they do NOT go against the vatican as these men. so if you choose this - do NOT kid yourself - your marriage will NOT be valid in the Catholic Church.
I'm very curious -- if you are practicing members at a parish the priest should be able to marry you in the church. however since you opted OUT of the Catholic church when you chose botanical gardens - why does it matter. while priests will often "squeeze people in" in matters such as yours they will NOT defy the sanctity of the marriage sacrament. I am a staunch supporter of our military but you are sounding like you are using that as a copout / excuse.

Hrmmm... $400?
Actually, up until about 400(?) years ago, Catholic priests could be married, have families, and leave their money and property to them upon death. Which is why the Catholic church decided that priests should be celibate so that they would not produce offspring that could inherit their property, and then had the priests give over all worldly goods to the Church. It had nothing to do with faith, and everything to do with money. So those who are having a fit over this, calm down!
Reply:Our officiant is charging $650! We're having an outdoor wedding and we're doing a customized Southern Baptist ceremony (except we're not requesting everyone bring a casserole dish! (sorry, Southern Baptist inside joke!)) But my fiance and I both thought this was insane! However, he's the only one who will travel to our venue and do custom ceremony.
Reply:$400 is on par with what officiants in my area are asking (Central PA) so I don't think its too much, but for your area it may be.
Also, what sort of "catholic priest" is married? I've never heard of such a thing and seriously suspect this guy is claiming he is something he cannot be.
Reply:That's not unreasonable - we paid $300 for ours 5 years ago and that was just to come talk to us once and then perform the wedding. If she'd come to the rehearsal or we had more face time with her, it would have been more. I think that $400 is probably pretty common.
Reply:I didn't even know they charged that much!
I don't want all the religious stuff in my wedding.

GUYS -- He's ready but is it too soon??
Met a wonderful guy this weekend at a charity art function. Spent most of the evening with him and his lifelong best friend (and his best friend's wife). We went out together afterwards. He paid for everything. Held the door. Total gentleman. Great conversation, spontaneity, and fun! And lots of flirting! I think his friends really liked me (and I liked them too!) At the end of the night, he walked me to my car and kissed me goodnight, asked me to have dinner with him sometime. He called me yesterday and asked me out. We are going bird watching at the botanical garden then dinner at my favorite restaurant. Thing is, even though we've met only once, I think he's ready to be with me. I'm crazy attracted to him too and would totally go there, but I'm worried it's too soon. We've only met once! What should I do????
GUYS -- He's ready but is it too soon??
follow your heart...if you are crazy about each other GO FOR IT!!! if it doesn't work out later just end it and let it be a ROMANTIC experience in your life~ don't hold back when you like/love someone or else you'll regret later
Reply:just enjoy the time together and if you will be with him, then you will! but you have to go out a little longer to truly know you want to be in a commited relationship with someone, so just have fun and patience, but if you both feel it and have the same conversation about being together, then by all means go for it! Its hard to find that spark with people, so hold on for dear life lol. hope it all works out!
Reply:He may be ready but just give some time. Keep dating for a while. You can see each other as much as you want and enjoy the magic of the newness. Enjoy the time of getting to know one another. How far are you willing to commit anyway?
He does sound nice but lets face it both of you need some time to discover if you are compatible. A relationship is easy when you are in the happy phase you also need to look at it when it is in a more real setting and how you react to one another.
Reply:Talk to him a bit more. See if the feelings stays after 3-4 dates. If it does, sit down with him, be completely open and honest with him, and how you feel, your fears about taking it to fast, and your hope that it will work out and that you want to take it fast. Ask him how he feels.
If you start a relastionship being open and honest completely it will always default to being open and honest. I think it should be introduced fairly early on in a relastionship. You might want to give him a chance to relax a second though, he is still trying to impress you.
Reply:Ge to know him better, there's no rush. He seems like a perfect gentleman and that's great, but like you said, you've only met once. Take things slow and build the relationship. Be sure to know his history too. You don't want to have a nasty run-in with an STD. Just wait, he's not going anywhere and he's obviously interested.
Good luck. =]
Reply:You sound like you are both adults like myself. I really do believe in love at first site. but I would not reccomend having sex right away, maybe some amazing makeout session like a teenager but I have found that a relationship that starts out all about amazing sex or even okay sex usual stays all about the sex and does n ot have much other substance to it and eventually dies out. Good luck
Reply:ummmm... i would stay away from any possible places that "it" may happen so you can have some time to decide if it's a crazy attraction of or its just a fling you dont need to waste your time on
Reply:if u feel it maybe try and ask him if he feels it too..theirs nothin wrong with exploring echother
Reply:Get to know him more!

Take your time and study him, all that glitters isn't gold!

Need Some Suggestions for Going Out Here In Brooklyn!?
Hello everyone!
I know this is pathetic, and my request is ridiculous since I've lived in this borough of Brooklyn my entire life...
but I need ideas to take someone special out in a week.
This is a list of the places we've spent time, a lot or a little:
Greenpoint
Midwood
Downtown Brooklyn
Boerum Hill (all along Atlantic Avenue)
Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Promenade
Fulton Ferry landing (and that park between the two bridges)
Dumbo
Park Slope
Grand Army Plaza
Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Children's Museum
Fort Greene
Coney Island
... and that's all I can think of.
He is a Brooklynite just like me but lives in Queens currently and is always busy working, so I want to take the both of us to some wonderful places, never seen before, that we can visit again.
Since we're not tourists, related suggestions are not necessary!
Please contact me if you are all the wiser! I appreciate all of your help.
Need Some Suggestions for Going Out Here In Brooklyn!?
Okay, it's a little far from where I live, but I'm a Sloper, and you said you've been to Park Slope before, so:
How about walking around the bay in Sheepshead Bay? It's lovely, the fishing boats are neat (they do cruises as well as fishing trips these days, BTW) and there are a few inexpensive fish places with REALLY fresh fish cooked very simply and served on paper plates! (No kidding.) If you like simple, fresh food, it's great!
Then there is the park right near the Verazzanno Bridge in Bay Ridge. It's a lovely park and the view of the Bridge is great!
For something closer to my neck of the woods, there is always Prospect Park - you might want to visit the lake there and the boathouse (now run by the Audobon Society.) You can rent a boat and go out on the lake. Or just walk around - it's a very pretty part of the Park.

Help with some calc work?
A smokestack deposits soot on the ground with a concentration inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the stack. With two smokestacks 20 miles apart, the concentration of the combined deposits on the line joining them, at a distance x from the first stack (closest to New York City), is given by
S=84/x2 + 12/(20-x)2
Note that 84 is 7 times 12. Find the point on the line joining the stacks where the concentration of the deposit is a minimum
and the other question is...
A landscape architect plans to enclose a 2300 square foot rectangular region in a botanical garden. She will use shrubs costing 21 dollars per foot along three sides and fencing costing 12 dollars per foot along the fourth side. The goal is to find the minimum total cost. First express the cost c(x) in terms of x, the length of the side with fencing.
c(x) =
Next give the minimum value of the cost function c(x)
Help with some calc work?
1. Take derivative and set to zero.
-168/x^3+24/(20-x)^3=0
x=13.134
2. xy=2300
Cost = 12x+21x+21*2*y
=12x+21x+21*2*(2300/x)
=33x+96600/x
Minimize, so take derivative...
33-96600/x^2=0
33x^2=96600
x=54.10 feet
So y=42.51 feet

I'm going to Atlanta, Georgia in April. Would you like to rec something to me?
So, ah, cooking classes are out (too many people).
I've got a citypass: Look over at the side of the page. http://www.citypass.com/extras/atlanta.h...
Zoo Atlanta
OR
Atlanta History Center?
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
OR
Atlanta Botanical Garden?
Romeo and Juliet is playing over at the Shakespeare Tavern? Hmm?
Ballet's definitely out. (It's at the FOX theater. :0)
Do you guys think I should go to a Renaissance Fair? Sounds a bit like something I would like.
I'm going to the Carlos Museum because the week I'm going to be there (From the 5th to the 13th.) they're having a Nubian exhibit!
So, guys do you have any more suggestions? Tips or hints about georgia? What do you guuys think about the zoo? The person who answers best could guite possibly get to see all the pictures!
I'm going to Atlanta, Georgia in April. Would you like to rec something to me?
April in Atlanta should be beautiful.
The Atlanta Zoo isn't all that great, so I would go to the Atlanta History Center. There is a very good permanent exhibit on the Civil War as it impacted Atlanta, and a temporary exhibit on Civil Rights. Civil War and Civil Rights are Atlanta's two historical claims to fame.
Between Fernbank and the Botanical Garden--depends on what your interests are. If it's a rainy day, go to Fernbank. If I had only a limited time in Atlanta, I would skip both of them, unless you're really into flowers or unless there is a special exhibit at Fernbank.
I've lived in Atlanta for thirty years and have never been to the Shakespeare Tavern, although I like Shakespeare. Same with the Renaissance Fair. I've heard it's pricey and not that good. Also, it is a fair distance from Atlanta, so unless you have a car. . .
Do go to the Carlos Museum. It's one of the best archaelogical museums in the country. The Carlos, with a suggested entrance fee of, like $5.00, is a real bargain. Much better than Fernbank, IMHO.
As to other things to do:
Go to the King Center and take the tour of the King Birth Home and Ebenezer Baptist Church then walk west on Auburn Avenue past many of the places where there are and were African-American owned businesses. Lots of history there.
Also, don't forget about shopping. Lenox and Phipps Malls are world-class shopping, even if all you do is wander around and look at the store fronts and the people.
Go to Little Five Points, wander around and watch people and store fronts. L5P is the Atlanta "hippy" district--even in 2008--so there are some funky shops and funky people.
Unless you have dietary qualms, try some barbecue--pork, please--beef is NOT barbecue. However, if you don't eat pork, chicken is acceptable. Ask at your hotel for a good barbecue place, but most are somewhat outside of downtown. If you have a car, "Pig N Chick" on Roswell Road a few blocks inside 285 is good.
Also good is "Dusty's" at the corner of Clifton and Briarcliff, near Emory University. So you can combine a meal there with the Carlos Museum, which is in the heart of the Emory Campus. Warning: lots of people here do not like Dusty's, as it is "North Carolina" style bbq.
The most typical barbecue--but the most difficult to find-- is "Harold's" on McDonough Blvd south of the City. You'll definitely need a car and good directions to get there. Harold's is a concrete block building and looks "iffy" from outside, but don't let that stop you. You'll probably see some police cars parked outside, but that's because the police like to eat there Very traditional place and traditional barbecue. Pork ribs, brunswick stew and CocaCola. Yum!!
If you don't eat bbq, then there are myriad ethnic restaurants. Most are on the Buford Highway, Northeast of downtown. You'll need a car, but you'll find just about any conceivable ethnic food. One tip: pick up a "Creative Loafing"--they're free and are found in newspaper racks and other places all around the City. The politics and advertising are really strrrrange, but it has good and reliable reviews of restaurants and a very good music calendar.
Have fun!!

1. Georgia Aquarium (café is overpriced though)
2. Zoo Atlanta
3. Underground Atlanta
4. World of Coke
5. CNN
6. Fox Theatre
7. Stone Mountain
8. Botanical Garden
9. MLK Jr. National Historic Site
10. High Museum of Art
11. Fernbank Museum of Natural History /Martini and Imax on Friday
12. Atlanta History Center
13. Cyclorama and Civil War Museum
14. Jimmy Carter Library and Museum
15. Atlantic Station/Ikea (shopping/dining)
16. Virginia Highlands (nightlife, dining, unique shops)
17. Buckhead/Lenox Square Mall/Phipps Plaza (shopping)
I really enjoyed the zoo, Atlanta History center, Fernbank and the Botanical Garden, so you can't go wrong with any of those choices; whatever interests you the most is what you should do. If the weather isn't nice though, I wouldn't go to the zoo or botanical garden. If you go to the Atlanta History Center, be sure to check out the Swan House.
As far as restaurants....
For breakfast, try Flying Biscuit Cafe or American Roadhouse.
For lunch/dinner, Mary Mac's Tea Room, Vortex, and the Varsity are Atlanta institutions. Some of my favorite casual restaurants are Loca Luna (tapas), Park Tavern, Cowtipper's, Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro in Atlanta Station and Fresh 2 Order (fast casual). For a nicer dining experience, try Sun Dial (revolving restaurant, much more reasonably priced for lunch than dinner), Seasons 52, Atlanta Fish Market, and Brio.
If you are up for a mini road trip, there is the North Georgia Wine Trail (with North Georgia Premium Outlets on the way) or Callaway Gardens.
Have fun!

Reply:Atlanta History Center (I liked it better than the zoo)
Atlanta Botanical Garden
I think the Carlos Museum is great idea.
I've been to the Renaissance Fair, its okay...
I've been to several of these places, the zoo is okay (if you go visit the cyclorama right outside the zoo). Coming from the north I found that the Atlanta Zoo is alot smaller than I expected it to be. The big attraction right now is the baby panda, other than that I wasn't too thrilled, been there twice). I enjoyed the Atlanta History Musuem much better, they have indoor %26amp; outdoor exhibits. Last time I was there they were renovating the Swan House, definately check out all the exhibits there. You might try out the Georgia Aquarium, which I liked way better than the zoo). I like Fernbank %26amp; the Botanical Gardens, they are both good. If you like art you might want to check out the High Museum of Art, that is worth a visit too. Also they do tours at Oakland Cemetary (yes, morbid but they have alot of interesting graves and do walking tours with history %26amp; story of some of the people, also a great restaurant across the street called "Six Feet Under"). I've lived here for 7 years and still haven't seen everything yet.
Reply:I got some good pictures at Stone Mountain a few years ago. I would not completely write Stone Mountain off if I were you. You might have to adjust your camera a little, but I think you could get some good pictures at Stone Mountain. At least my came out decent enough to share with my friends.

I've got a citypass: Look over at the side of the page. http://www.citypass.com/extras/atlanta.h...
Zoo Atlanta
OR
Atlanta History Center?
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
OR
Atlanta Botanical Garden?
Romeo and Juliet is playing over at the Shakespeare Tavern? Hmm?
Ballet's definitely out. (It's at the FOX theater. :0)
Do you guys think I should go to a Renaissance Fair? Sounds a bit like something I would like.
I'm going to the Carlos Museum because the week I'm going to be there (From the 5th to the 13th.) they're having a Nubian exhibit!
So, guys do you have any more suggestions? Tips or hints about georgia? What do you guuys think about the zoo? The person who answers best could guite possibly get to see all the pictures!
I'm going to Atlanta, Georgia in April. Would you like to rec something to me?
April in Atlanta should be beautiful.
The Atlanta Zoo isn't all that great, so I would go to the Atlanta History Center. There is a very good permanent exhibit on the Civil War as it impacted Atlanta, and a temporary exhibit on Civil Rights. Civil War and Civil Rights are Atlanta's two historical claims to fame.
Between Fernbank and the Botanical Garden--depends on what your interests are. If it's a rainy day, go to Fernbank. If I had only a limited time in Atlanta, I would skip both of them, unless you're really into flowers or unless there is a special exhibit at Fernbank.
I've lived in Atlanta for thirty years and have never been to the Shakespeare Tavern, although I like Shakespeare. Same with the Renaissance Fair. I've heard it's pricey and not that good. Also, it is a fair distance from Atlanta, so unless you have a car. . .
Do go to the Carlos Museum. It's one of the best archaelogical museums in the country. The Carlos, with a suggested entrance fee of, like $5.00, is a real bargain. Much better than Fernbank, IMHO.
As to other things to do:
Go to the King Center and take the tour of the King Birth Home and Ebenezer Baptist Church then walk west on Auburn Avenue past many of the places where there are and were African-American owned businesses. Lots of history there.
Also, don't forget about shopping. Lenox and Phipps Malls are world-class shopping, even if all you do is wander around and look at the store fronts and the people.
Go to Little Five Points, wander around and watch people and store fronts. L5P is the Atlanta "hippy" district--even in 2008--so there are some funky shops and funky people.
Unless you have dietary qualms, try some barbecue--pork, please--beef is NOT barbecue. However, if you don't eat pork, chicken is acceptable. Ask at your hotel for a good barbecue place, but most are somewhat outside of downtown. If you have a car, "Pig N Chick" on Roswell Road a few blocks inside 285 is good.
Also good is "Dusty's" at the corner of Clifton and Briarcliff, near Emory University. So you can combine a meal there with the Carlos Museum, which is in the heart of the Emory Campus. Warning: lots of people here do not like Dusty's, as it is "North Carolina" style bbq.
The most typical barbecue--but the most difficult to find-- is "Harold's" on McDonough Blvd south of the City. You'll definitely need a car and good directions to get there. Harold's is a concrete block building and looks "iffy" from outside, but don't let that stop you. You'll probably see some police cars parked outside, but that's because the police like to eat there Very traditional place and traditional barbecue. Pork ribs, brunswick stew and CocaCola. Yum!!
If you don't eat bbq, then there are myriad ethnic restaurants. Most are on the Buford Highway, Northeast of downtown. You'll need a car, but you'll find just about any conceivable ethnic food. One tip: pick up a "Creative Loafing"--they're free and are found in newspaper racks and other places all around the City. The politics and advertising are really strrrrange, but it has good and reliable reviews of restaurants and a very good music calendar.
Have fun!!
Reply:You can go to the (Coca-cola Musium)

I really enjoyed the zoo, Atlanta History center, Fernbank and the Botanical Garden, so you can't go wrong with any of those choices; whatever interests you the most is what you should do. If the weather isn't nice though, I wouldn't go to the zoo or botanical garden. If you go to the Atlanta History Center, be sure to check out the Swan House.
As far as restaurants....
For breakfast, try Flying Biscuit Cafe or American Roadhouse.
For lunch/dinner, Mary Mac's Tea Room, Vortex, and the Varsity are Atlanta institutions. Some of my favorite casual restaurants are Loca Luna (tapas), Park Tavern, Cowtipper's, Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro in Atlanta Station and Fresh 2 Order (fast casual). For a nicer dining experience, try Sun Dial (revolving restaurant, much more reasonably priced for lunch than dinner), Seasons 52, Atlanta Fish Market, and Brio.
If you are up for a mini road trip, there is the North Georgia Wine Trail (with North Georgia Premium Outlets on the way) or Callaway Gardens.
Have fun!
