Kenneth & Robyn Shilshole Bay Beach Club Seattle, WA Ken and Robyn's wedding ceremony on a March Saturday morning at Shilshole Bay Beach Club was blessed with incredible sunshine.
In front of 150 family and friends, Ken and Robyn exchanged vows and I'm hopeful their photographer was able to capture the huge smiles and meaningful glances they exchanged during their wedding ceremony!
Ken and Robyn worked to create an elegant yet casual ceremony and reception that was truly about family - there were children running around and this only added to the joy in room. Many wedding ceremonies I attend don't have children in attendance, particularly the evening ceremonies. It was meaningful for me to be reminded of how much fun children do have at a wedding and incorporating the little ones creates memories - although most often hugely unexpected moments/memories! www.wedbyannemarie.com

Title: 60 ho chi minh mao trach dong but tin 3
Bùi Tín: Vâng. Thế mà trong thời kỳ chống Pháp tôi đã gặp đến hàng trăm cố vấn Trung Quốc được gọi là phái viên của Mao Chủ Tịch đến để dạy dỗ, để lên lớp về chiến thuật Lâm Bưu, về vận động chiến, công kiên chiến. Ðến năm 1951 là đại hội đảng lần thứ hai ghi rõ trong điều lệ là "lấy tư tưởng Mao Trạch Ðông làm cơ sở lý luận và tư tưởng cho Ðảng Lao Ðộng Việt Nam".
Cho nên trong Cải Cách Ruộng Ðất có hai mươi mấy nghìn địa chủ bị bắn chết, gần 1 triệu nạn nhân lớn nhỏ cùng gia đình bị ảnh hưởng là cũng do tư tưởng Mao Trạch Ðông. Tư tưởng lúc bấy giờ là lấy bần cố nông làm cốt cán, lấy đấu tranh giai cấp làm động lực, rồi tàn sát địa chủ để giành lại ruộng đất cho nông dân.

Có thời Mao có mặt đậm nét ở nước ta. Hầu như nhà nào cũng có ảnh Mao. Ở cơ quan, ảnh lớn của Mao cạnh ảnh lớn của Staline là bắt buộc. Sách của Mao chiếm vị trí hàng cao nhất trong mọi thư viện và tủ sách. Mâu thuẫn luận, Thực tiễn luận, Trì cửu chiến, Bàn về chủ nghĩa Dân chủ mới... của Mao được coi là sách kinh điển. Rồi Mao Trạch Ðông tuyển tập, Sách bìa đỏ cầm tay, huy hiệu Mao đỏ chót, nhỏ hay có khi to bằng miệng bát có mặt khắp nơi.
Biết bao bài thơ ca ngợi Mao, từ Tố Hữu, đến Hoàng Trung Thông, Bảo Ðịnh Giang, rồi Xuân Diệu, Huy Cận, Tế Hanh, Lưu Trọng Lư ...Mao là mặt trời, là cưú tinh, là ngôi sao sáng nhất, là cây đại thụ, là ngọn hải đăng, là người Ông hiền từ, là người Bác nhân ái, là vị lãnh tụ anh minh. Ðoàn nhà văn Việt nam thăm Hồ Nam, đoàn Văn công quân đội sang Bắc kinh quay phim Xô viết Nghệ Tĩnh được gặp Mao, những bài báo, luận văn kể lại được nhìn thấy Mao, được cầm tay Mao, được tận tai nghe được lời Mao nói, được nhận một điếu thuốc từ tay Mao là những nỗi niềm hạnh phúc quý báu nhớ đời.

Tài liệu bằng tiếng Việt đầu tiên và duy nhất lưu hành ở Hà Nội, nói về việc Hồ Chí Minh gia nhập Hội Tam Ðiểm có lẽ là sách Nguyễn Ái Quốc tại Pari 1917-1923, Nxb: Thông Tin Lý Luận ấn hành năm 1989, tác giả là bà Thu Trang. Trong sách nầy, bà Thu Trang viết rằng: "Theo một mật báo đã ghi ngày 14 tháng 6 năm 1922, Nguyễn Ái Quốc được chấp nhận vào Hội Franc-Maçonnerie (Tam điểm)..." (tr. 201.)

Theo gia phả Thượng tọa Thích Chân Quang cũng là cháu gọi ông Hồ bằng Bác và lẽ dĩ nhiên cũng là anh em chú bác dù chưa được phép nói ra với ông Nông Ðức Mạnh.
Xây dựng một vài huyền thoại xung quanh lãnh tụ tuy không nói ra nhưng chắc chắn đảng CSVN lưu tâm đến yêu cầu này. Cũng có thể ngay ông Hồ cũng muốn có sự lưu tâm này, hay nói cách khác chính ông là tác nhân của những huyền thoại này cũng nên?
Sau ngày 2 tháng 9 năm 1945, có một cuốn sách mỏng viết về sấm Trạng Trình đã được lưu hành trong dân gian với những câu chuyện bằng thơ vận vào ông Hồ như là một thiên mệnh với chức năng tiếp sức sự nghiệp chính trị của ông và lẽ tất nhiên cũng là cho chính đảng CSVN. Có một câu sấm được lưu truyền ở đất Nghệ Tĩnh mà qua đó người ta đã thần thánh hóa nó và ghép cho nó ứng nghiệm vào ông Hồ như là một vị thánh ra đời để cứu dân cứu nước.

Hồ Chí Minh đã học được ở "Lenin vĩ đại" hai điều và đã đem áp dụng vào đời sống bản thân của ông lúc về Hà Nội.
Ngày 2/09/1945, bỗng nhiên Hồ Chí Minh xuất hiện trong bản tuyên ngôn giành độc lập và tự xưng "cụ" với toàn thể quốc dân, mặc dù lúc bấy giờ ông mới có 55 tuổi (lấy theo năm sanh 1890).

Vì quá chán ngán như vậy nên nói về ông Hồ là chuyện bất đắc dĩ. Thế mà vẫn phải nói vì cây muốn lặng mà gió chẳng đừng. Gió ở đây là cái đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam đương hồi bí rị. Câu thần chú "Chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin bách chiến bách thắng muôn năm" thì dù có dày mặt cách mấy cũng không thốt ra được nữa nên họ cứ lôi ông Hồ ra để hè nhau...nghiên cứu. Vô hình chung họ đã biến ông Hồ thành cái đích cho thiên hạ "trút bầu tâm sự".

No matter the size or structure of your wedding ceremony, consider a "group photo" immediately after your wedding ceremony. I often set up the the logistics of the photo with a couple's photographer ahead of time and then elegantly "instruct family/friends" before the ceremony for a wonderful "after we're done" shot!
This photo makes for a wonderful memento from your wedding day and also personalizes a beautiful thank you card.

Title: "Some Questions To Consider" Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks "Killing The Messenger For Bad News"
December 09, 2010 News Corp http://MOXNews.com
#7 "Could The Attack On WikiLeaks Be More About Maintaining A Flawed Foreign Policy Than National Security?"
Still confused with your feeling? Cant sleep at night, thinking about him but still cant find the reason. Are you really in love or is it just a little crush? Falling in love is one of lifes greatest gift. But ironically, you often dont know that happened until its too late. Youre afraid to know that what you feel inside is love afraid to disgorge it to him and afraid youre going to be rejected by him. But why you have to deny your own feelings and let yourself feel the painful tightness around your chest. You felt sick when he flirts with another woman, and you wonder why your heart beat very, very fast: Your heart was broken: Only then you realize that somewhere, at sometime, you fell in love with him without knowing it. Did you ever felt this feeling before?
But why wait for a broken heart? Act before its too late. Being in love is something too beautiful to be ignorant about. Dont let your love elapse by times, grab it when theres still an opportunity, maybe hes the one to live with you forever. Here are some clues to see if youve been struck by Cupids arrow!
LOVE #1 You become alert to his favorites
His favorites singer to his favorites football player all keeps in your mind. When he say he's really crazy about that singer, without thinking about other things you buy all the CDs collection for him. Youre trying to listen to his songs even though you never like it. Even you never watch football match, you watch his favorites football team with hope one day you can share the same interest with him.
LOVE #2 You look for his horoscope
Of course, youre looking for the love part. Does his star match to yours or not, or does Venus coming into orbit around his star sign anytime soon? You want to know if love is on the cards for him, is your star implicated in some way? Although you know nothing much you can hope from the zodiac sign, at least some of the match between the two of you will make you feeling more comfortable.
LOVE #3 All his jokes become funny to you
You laugh if he laughs: No matter whether his story funny or not, you still laugh as long as you can see smiles on his face. He really can do no wrong. Even his most moronic, tasteless one-liners about faces and flatulence seem to be the wittiest gags youve ever heard.
LOVE #4 You take a very long time to write him an SMS/email
You over worried if your words may hurt his feelings and you want to make sure you get that casual, off-hand tone just right. No mistakes and you want the best words reaching him whether you should put smiley or not so much things to consider, no wonder youre having trouble sleeping.
LOVE #5 You feel weird if you dont see or talk to him for a long time
Whether you realize it or not, you getting nerves to have conversation with him after a long weekends. You getting blur sometimes looking for words to say. All in your mind is hope to spend more time with him and looking for other chances to plans something for both of you. So, now times is very important to you.
LOVE #6 You become jealous for no reason
You hate every girl who talks to him. Even when the cashier at the bookstore gave him a cheeky smile, you call her sluts. More to that, you cant stand up to when other girls ask him to watch a movie. well, why are your get jealous?
LOVE #7 You lose your appetite when he didnt reply your SMS/call
The whole day and night you think why he didnt replied you. So many though on your mind, and all of them mostly about bad things: What did I do wrong? Or, Did he angry with me? You cant think logically because youre too worried and feeling edgy so everything getting musky. It is not because you dont have an appetite but because your mind cant think about other thing except wondering why he didnt call you back.
LOVE #8 You google him
You try every way to find any information about him to know more about him. Surf an internet looking for his name - and lucky you if you can find something about him. Hopefully his name as famous as Donald Trump so easier for you to find anything remotely related to your man online . Failing which, you log on to the website of the company he works.
LOVE #9 No one else can rock your boat anymore
Either Leonardo Dicaprio or Orlando Bloom, both cant attract your interest anymore. Did you grown up girl? Or your heart just stolen by someone else; one beautiful ordinary people that make your life rockin everyday.
LOVE #10 Girlfriends are not your priority
No more Friday night or girls weekend anymore. All you do is sitting down at home waiting for his call to bring you out. You just want to make sure when hes call, youre free and ready to have a date any time, so just for him you turn down your gal pals invitation for some girlie time together. Well, hopefully he calls you. And why dont you call him?
LOVE #11 Your body is a prime concern
You start take care of your weight, your body curve, and your cup size, dont you? You heard that men are attracted to sexy women especially the one with great body and nice breast? What do you think girl? Research says that men like breast because it soft, comforting, curvy, erotic. It symbolizes every female. So, whats wrong with you wanting to be as female as possible?
LOVE #12 You worry about your mobile phone reception
You try to avoid go to places where your phone cant be reach. Every way you go, you check your phone to make sure there is at least one receptionist bar. Afraid that you will miss his call, the call youve been waiting for all the time.
LOVE #13 You're suddenly interested with football
Whats EPL? Maybe before this you never care what it is, but not now. You start to find something more about this: start turning to the back page of the newspapers and watching sports news to see whats going on in the English Premier League and its not just because David Beckham.
LOVE #14 You start learn how to cook
Every woman that fall in love, always shows their interest in cooking. Who know, you might need to cook something up for a visiting guest an important visiting guest. So, you can show him you have ability to have a family good mother and perfect wife.
LOVE #15 You read articles like this one in my blog
If you looking for articles like this and eager to read it, means that you already suspect you might be in love. You need an expert doctor to help you diagnosis what actually happen to you. Well, now you know whats your feeling tell you dont wait any longer. Chase for your dream guy while its not too late.
LOVE #16 You start dreaming about having a baby with him
No wonder lately you really like baby. Only women in love and ready to have a family and future will have a feeling to have their own baby and of course with their love one.
LOVE #17 Romantic comedies have always been your first choices
You conquer all romantic comedy dramas on TV, buy new romantic DVDs and go watching romantic movies alone because all your friends already know it must be romantic movies again and they dont want to miss their chances to watch another type of movie again and again. Not enough with that, you look for old DVDs which more dramatics and romantic as long as it has a happy lovely ending and you dont care watching it for many times.
LOVE #18 You always grab any opportunities to take a photo with him
Any moment, or at any occasions at parties, shopping malls or a dinner, you always trying to find an excuse to get into a shot with him alone. And if theres no camera, well, a camera phone will do just as nicely as long as you got his pictures standing besides you. LOVE #19 You wont go anywhere during weekends
Everyone start to plan their weekends but you wonder what youre going to do. Of course, you think about to spend some times with him. You even couldnt sleep on lazy Sundays because youre too worry hes going to call you or not. It seems like you waiting for some Christmas gift from Santa. Dont you? LOVE #20 You doodle his name all over
When you hold a pen and paper, your hand unconsciously doodle his name, sometimes with little floating hearts around it. And is that your name that youre doodling beside his? Any doctor will take this as a sure-fire symptom of love sickness.
LOVE #21 Shopping times and end up in the mens aisle
While you shop for your lipstick, suddenly your head turn to mens section and you automatically work towards to the sections and start checking out for tie, t-shirt, cap and other men accessories. Before long, youre trying to match his outfits to yours.
LOVE #22 You become a defender to him
When you have conversation with your friends and hes not around, you bring his name to become a main topic. And when anyone of your friends put him down, you jump to his defence. Obviously, hes important to you and only good things you want to hear about him.
LOVE #23 He's your idol
You admire him more than anyone else: his styles, how he talks to others and the way him playing guitar. You want to intimate everything about him music, movies, clothes, food, sports and whatever you can see from him. He likes a movie star to you and everything about him is special. If he like plays a piano, so you try to take lessons especially from him. You felt happy when you can involve in something he likes.
LOVE #24 You become a romantic person
From the words you wrote to the way you talk to him, theres sign of flirting. And of course you try to cover so it doesnt look too obvious but deep inside you heart you hope that hes been able to read between the lines. Dont worry girl, be frank and he will see how deep is your love.
LOVE #25 His little sister makes you jealous
Well, something really serious happen here. How come? If this is not enough of a clue that youre in love, what is? Take your time, if you have more than half of the clues, follow your heart and act before he's pounce by another women.

My husband, Greg and I, were married five years ago this week in a small ceremony in our backyard with two couples we love and our Officiant - oh yes, and our four dogs! A party and honeymoon cruise followed but when we look back on our ceremony, we have such wonderful memories - for us, it was perfect.
And having done this wonderful work now with many couples of different wants/needs, I offer you three of my favorite "top tips" for a marvelous and memorable "small ceremony experience."
1. 2-25 family/friends is a perfect "guest count" for a small wedding experience. Create a personalized wedding ceremony and involve each of your guests for an 'inclusive' and loving experience.
2. Enjoy a dinner or evening out immediately afterwards with your family and friends at a venue that can easily take care of all celebration details - i.e., Palisade Restaurant, The Space Needle, The Woodmark Hotel, the Herbfarm, etc. Taking your celebration to a restaurant or fancy hotel/resort takes any stress off of planning a celebration at a private residence - many less details to worry about!
3. Enjoy and take (don't put it off) a marvelous honeymoon - whether it is staying local for a few days or perhaps a cruise to Alaska (so easy from the Seattle waterfront!). We took our first cruise as our honeymoon and are taking our sixth cruise this Winter - it's become one of our favorite indulgences and brings back those "first married memories" every time.
In this work that I do, every couple I work with has a different vision for their wedding day.
So, indulge me while I take a minute or so so share a few of my hard-learned tips to creating a more elegant wedding ceremony:
1) Give Your Guests A Job ~ Before your ceremony begins or before pronouncement, have your Officiant/Minister tell your family and friends what is "going to happen next." This way, guests know what to do immediately after a ceremony and this creates a more elegant transition from ceremony to party/reception.
2) My Half-Hour Suggestion ~ If your wedding ceremony is starting at 6:00 p.m., put 5:30 p.m. on the invites. This "fudge time" allows for a little extra time for a bride/groom and wedding party and also creates a more easy and elegant welcoming for family and friends.
3) Put your Intention On Creating An Imperfect Wedding Day ~ Perfect Wedding days are "perfect' because they are imperfect. This is the paradox of a wedding day. Focus on the key ingredients of a beautiful wedding day: love, appreciation, gratitude, anticipation and peace. I love and treasure the imperfect moments of a wedding ceremony as they are spontaneous, often fun and joyful and handled with ease and care, they creates lifetime moments.

Jesse shows off his amazing tricks from hand stands in motion, to skateboarding like a human! This little man loves to entertain, and be the center of the spotlight. All of Jesse's training (from basic sit, to rollover) have been done using Positive Reinforcement and Clicker Training. It is so fun to work together with Jesse as a team, and we have so much fun learning from each other. Teaching tricks is a wonderful bonding activity, and mentally stimulating aswell. Not only is Jesse learning how to figure things out, but he is having fun at the same time! =o)
Jesse chooses to do the behaviors in this video, and has so much fun bringing smiles to people's faces. He gets treats for doing his tricks, and enjoys learning new things. Tricks are just one of the activities we enjoy doing together. When not doing tricks, Jesse can be found playing with his cuz ball, chasing squeaker tennis balls, digging in search for lizards, de-fluffing stuffed toys, swimming, and a companioning me on outings. Jesse loves adventure, and lives each and every day to its fullest. Jesse is my best friend, heart dog, and truly a member of the family, and I love him with every beat of my heart.

George and Kris ~ The Willows Lodge ~ A Winter Wedding
The Spirit of Aloha! There was so much "Aloha" at George and Kris's Winter wedding at The Willows Lodge. So much love.
For their ceremony, George and Kris included a wide variety of personalized elements and pieces to include family and friends in the moment. Thinking back, there was so much and what stood out was the exchange of leis, warm words to family and parents, a "surprise" to open on a special wedding anniversary, a song by the Bride's Mother with a chorus of cousins and much more.
George and Kris - I wish you every happiness! And thank you to Alyssa of Alyssa Rose Photography for this gorgeous photo! www.alyssarosephotography.com
Weddings come in all shapes and sizes. The small and intimate wedding ceremony is a favorite for me. It offers a couple a sweet and personal experience with a tight group of family and friends. If you are planning a small and intimate ceremony, here are three wedding planning tips to consider as you move closer to your wedding day:
1) Consider A Weekday Wedding: Small and intimate wedding ceremonies are perfect for a weekday. By having your wedding on a weekday, you may save money with preferred pricing as many wedding professionals will be very happy to have a weekday booking.
2) Involve Your "Tribe" In Your Ceremony: Working with your Officiant, Minister or Rabbi, work to create a ceremony that sweetly involves everyone in the room. I am officiating a ceremony for Colin and Andrea this coming Sunday and we're having a "parade" of family and friends to the wedding site along with a group reading. Fun and elegant in all ways...
3) Plan A Special Surprise: A small and intimate wedding ceremony is a perfect size gathering for a special surprise during your wedding ceremony. Any surprise needs to be well orchestrated by the person leading your ceremony and if executed well, can create a lifetime memory.
A few months back, I officiated a ceremony for a wonderful couple. Brian had never formally proposed to Amy and I found this out while working to create/write their ceremony. I called Brian and after a little conversation, we landed on a perfect surprise for Amy. On their wedding day, and before their exchange of vows, Brian got down on one knee and proposed to Amy. If only you could have seen Amy's face.
