operated on a recent trip to my local chain grocery store, there was a sample table show with a staff that set the vouchers and small plastic cups of a new grain available from Battle Creek's Kellogg's. It was Kellogg's Special K Chocolatey Delight. It was a pleasure indeed! The crispy rice and wheat flakes taste sweeter than the normal Special K flakes do. There were also small pieces of chocolate paid by the grain. I am a chocolate lover at heart, so I could not wait to buy a box to take home. Unfortunately it was not for sale, I would wait. By the way grain prices these days are, I always wait until they are on sale before buying. Fortunately for me, they went on sale later at another supermarket a few weeks. I have my voucher I received from the sample lady on my prior shopping trip and end up paying about 3.00 for the field. This field was comparatively smaller than other cereal boxes on the shelf down the island. It was only 13.4 ounces. I could not wait for breakfast the next day so I could have a big bowl of this new cereal. When the time finally came, I packed for my larger cereal bowls and filled it to the brim with the Chocolatey Delight. I poured my milk was on it and dug in. It's so crunchy and sweet that my taste buds happy with this first contact, they came in with him. One thing I noticed about this grain was that the chocolate chunks make a film about the spoon left. I ate the cereal with a metal and plastic spoons and it has the same thing. On the positive side but not the chocolate did not melt or dissolve in the milk, even turn the milk chocolatey. The flakes stay crunchy for a respectable time. We all know there is nothing worse than when you halfway through your cereal bowl and you are left only with the slurry to be your cereal once crispy, spicy. Although treat this like a chocolate cereal may sound like something only love children, would assure the rest of it is still good for you. It is only 120 calories, 2 g fat, 25 grams carbohydrates, and contains many vitamins and minerals that we strive adults receive daily in our diet. The best part is that taste good enough dry that it takes to eat a candy bar or a preference, if you sit at your desk at work and act to your sweet tooth starts up. All in all, I think, Kellogg arrived home with this addition, not only the Special K family run grain, but all healthy cereals are available. It is a great way to eat a nutritious meal, but at the same time fulfill your love of chocolate.

It is a problem faced by many brides. You have lots of friends, but, for whatever reason, not all will be asked to bridesmaids. Maybe you just want three. Maybe you just want to her sisters. Whatever the reason, how you face your other friends? How do you say that "made the cut." Here are some tips in choosing your bridesmaids without losing any friends. 1. Share your reasons for not choosing a person, whether these are good reasons. "The dresses of the bridesmaids who have chosen not to enter your size is not good. "I limited my marriage for the family" is a good idea. Do this in private, perhaps at lunch. And do it as soon as you've made your wedding plans. If a good friend is assuming she will be the maid of honor, is much better for her to get the news that one of the chosen ones.2. Find other papers for the special people in your life. I've been to some weddings that had honor attendants. These were special friends of the bride who sat with the family. They were escorted to their seats after most of the guests were seated, just before the grandmothers. Each wore a yellow or pink. In these weddings, bridesmaids number four or so, but as many as ten people sat as honor attendants. And a group photo (and in one case, individual photos) were taken from the audience of honor with the bride as part of the official wedding photographs. Here in the South, family members and friends often serve for the reception instead of catering paid. It is a nice touch. I asked three friends and a family member to serve at my wedding and everyone was happy. Perhaps one of his friends is a good speaker and could read a passage. Perhaps one can sing and would love to start your wedding off with "From This Moment." Many people are involved in your wedding. Most of them should be your loved ones, do not you pay. (Whatever the label of the books say, a girlfriend of goodwill given by each of the people who do special things, a special gift to commemorate the day.) 3. Consider writing before the wedding thank you cards. I know ... you have much to do. But for a special friend you have not been given a special role in your wedding, this note can mean so much. It says nothing about the bridesmaids. Instead, talk about special moments shared by the two of you and let you know that is really important for them to be there on your special day. Here's a sample:. Dear Alissa, As my wedding date approaches, I just wanted to let you know what a special gift that their friendship has been for me Our late night phone calls have helped me solve many problems in my life, and I hope those calls go on forever. As my wedding date approaches, I am beginning to realize how important people like you. I know you have already received their "official" invitation, but I want you to know how much she means to me that you can be there as Jeff and I began our new life together. "3. Finally, not closed to his friends maid of honor in the months before the wedding is. Do not fall into the trap of all-too-common click bridesmaids, where all of your time, your meals and showers and went with her maids of honor .. Take time for lunch and be in touch with the whole social group and share this exciting time of your life. Often, friendships end, not because of the disappointment of not being chosen as a bridesmaid, but because friends feel ignored and excluded from the wedding process.4. If you're over 30, this is probably not even a concern. As we age, all mature - both as friends and girlfriends. I was disappointed a couple of times he was not asked a bridesmaid. Looking back, I wish I had not asked the five or six times I had the honor of the request. It was very special to be at the wedding of my family. As for the other brides, we have lost contact and all I have the experience are the pictures of my really ugly peach and burgundy dresses.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Marc Alan Lee was one of the world's most highly skilled unconventional warriors - a U.S. Navy SEAL. But on the morning of August 2, the 28-year-old Oregon native who lent to a conventional U.S. Army force tasked with hunting-down guerrillas in a Ramadi area, where four U.S. Marines killed last week. When a firefight broke out between the Americans (and an accompanying Iraqi force) and a band of guerrillas, a seal was wounded, shot in the cheek by an enemy sniper. In the ensuing hour-long struggle, stretching over several blocks, was another seal against the shaft. Lee, who positioned himself between the two men, covering fire as they evacuated. But he was later killed by a burst of machinegun fire. Lee was the first seal to die in Iraq. His actions during the fight have been reported as "heroic", and he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star to go along with his Bronze Star Medal (with Combat V), Purple Heart and a Combat Action Ribbon. But some members of the Naval Special Warfare community tells me that he did not have to die, with one officer contending, "They're burning up the seal." The problem lies in the manner in which seals and other special operators who made and for what types of assignments . "Special Operations warriors are not dispensable assets, says Reserve seal Commander Mark Divine, who has been in Iraq several times and was asked to evaluate the implementation of a new Marine Corps special force during its developmental stages in 2004. "It will take two years to replace Lee with another combat ready seal." Seal community is undermanned as it is, and it is the Navy's number one recruiting priority "Divine concern is based on the U.S. Department of Defense is looking to increase the number of special operators, currently totaling about 40,000. . by 15 percent over the next four years, SEALs, less than 2500 men, must increase by about 20 percent, and without reducing standards of the global war on terror - with all the backdoors and shadows and high-tech, asymmetrical,. rapidly changing battle spaces - has placed an enormous demand on U.S. special warfare units, after all this is the guys job is active in the darkest surroundings therefore takes a smart, committed young man with an athletic bent (Lee himself was a .. star football player in high school) and turning him into a Navy SEAL is not cheap - about $ 350,000 a copy -. or facilitate the most hopeful seal can not pass the entry physical fitness test and the majority who fail the PFT simply do not. have what it takes to be a seal, the attrition is extremely high for seals. A staggering 80 percent fail to complete the hellish six months Basic Underwater Demolition / Seal training (BUD / S) Those who survive BUD. / S must again prove themselves in an equally demanding post-graduate period with an active SEAL Team before officially becoming seals. Special-operations teams like seals - including the super-secret Naval Special Warfare Development Group (formerly SEAL Team Six) - Army special operations forces (from Rangers to Green Berets to Delta), Air Force special tactics teams, and Marine Corps' Force Recon and the brand new Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC) teams, responsible for carrying out special missions, including counter-terrorism, hostage rescues, prisoner snatches, foreign military training, special reconnaissance, sabotage, direct action, and targeting of enemy leaders, among other sensitive activities. And many of these operations - but unknown thus never reported - have tremendous strategic importance. "In the context of Iraq, seals, which is a fraction of the Navy's total force, are trained to handle these types of missions," Divine tells National Review Online. "Every human being is a critical asset in the war on terror. So to squander a life in support of a general cordon and search operations are just wrong. "Divine says he first witnessed such misuse of SEALs back in 2004." The conventional commanders would send a formal or informal request to the JSOTF [Joint Special Operations Task Force] for some sniper team support, and if the guys [special operators] were not employed they would usually say, "okay," Divine says. "The [seal] Team guys did not mind that they wanted action. "But a 24-year-old's motivation, and then the sound field of battle them on the part of the special operations force leaders are two different things entirely SEALs will always run towards the sound of guns, it is up to the leaders .. to protect them so that they can perform the high-value missions the taxpayers put them through training. "Former SEAL John Chalus, who had one combat tour in Vietnam and whose two sons would later serve in the fleet (one of them was a seal), tells NRO," seals should not be combined with regular units unless the regular unit is used to support special operations. "Conventional units often provide security for special operators, setting up a perimeter around the operation and" keeping the bad guys out, "said Chalus. And of course, special operators often conduct reconnaissance and collect information for the conventional operation. Richard Marcinko, founder and first director of Seal Team Six, as well as the best-selling author of Rogue Warrior book series, compares employs seals in a conventional capacity to "driving a Ferrari across the desert like a dune-buggy." There is a "waste of with training, "Marcinko tells NRO. "The conventional force commanders use them for conventional missions for two primary reasons. First, they know they have a mature warrior [in a seal]. He has been a lot of schools, and he is not a 19-year-old kid with limited training. second, with seals and other highly trained Spec Ops guys protects the person responsible for the conventional operation. It is a bit of a political cover you thing to say, "hey, I sent in the teams that would not embarrass me. '"Conventional commanders know SEALs will almost always kill or capture any bad guys encountered. Commanders also have an appreciation for the warfare skills special operators who can provide seals of conventional soldiers and sailors. And the seals themselves are always willing to enter into the assignment outside their traditional roles. "Especially the young children who have just come out of BUD / S, says Marcinko. "They have never been in combat, and they want to test what they're made of." Have any seals told me that actual operations seem not nearly as tough as their training. But unlike a gun battle, killed almost no one in education, including training as high-speed and dangerous as it seals. A former U.S. Marine infantry leader, writes W. Thomas Smith Jr. on military issues and has covered conflict in the Balkans and the West Bank. He is the author of five books, and his articles appear in various publications.

I've always been amused by random things. So I got to thinking what are some fun, stupid laws that still exist in my own hometown is Evansville, Indiana. I went to Google and looked up a bit and I found some strange and interesting things. My country, Indiana has some strange laws still in force. Here are some of my personal favorites of those listed under dumblaws.com The team jumped out at most and that I found just being completely hilarious is that states "it is illegal to bring people to become sexually aroused in public. "I think it's absolutely great that the law still in force. One reason that I find this law to be funny is: I say to my friend to Victoria Secret and she goes to the store and try on some lingerie and she opens the door to the locker room and shows me the outfit and I get sexually aroused. Well I guess everyone would be to say in my defense is opps. I have been guilty of breaking this law do to circumstances beyond my control. It is meant to be sarcastic just so you know that.Another fun team that jumped out at me when they search states "a three U.S. dollars fine per pack will be introduced onanyone playing cards in Indiana under the Law on the Prevention of games." This law is particularly enjoyable for me since I can remember as a child playing cards with my family. In addition, I play Texas hold em at my house once a week with friends of mine. My interruption of this Act is that it says you can be fined for playing cards but not games. So next time you play cards at a family gathering be on the look that you can get a fine just to play rummy or solitaire.The third team I think is funny states "that a person must receive a referral from a licensed physician if he or shewishes to see a hypnotist unless the desired procedure is to stop smoking or lose weight. "The reason that this team is so fun for me is that I have been hypnotized before. A few years ago I went to a comedy club where I live with a bunch of friends and we all went to see this action was that the guy performing was a hypnotist. To make a long story short I went on stage and got hypnotized and did a lot of fun things, some a little too explicit to mention. Again, another team I owe law.One of the weirdest laws, I stumbled across states "who asked not to be taken between the months Octoberand March." I really do not have a comment to you that I'm just stupid founded.There is a very serious laws that says "a man of 18 can be arrested for rape if the passenger in the car not wearing her socks and shoes, and are under 17 years. "After about whether these laws in my home state of Indiana, I decided to look up some funny laws in the state of Kentucky that I am only 20 minutes from Henderson, Kentucky. I came to learn that they have a few funny laws also.One by the laws of Kentucky state 'who threw eggs at a public speaker could result in up to one year in prison. "I think this is entertaining because it would make my day to come home from work, turn on the news and hear about some bodies to go to jail for throwing eggs at a public speaker. Another law in Fort Thomas, Kentucky said "the dogs may not molest cars." After reading this law, I am puzzled as to why it would even be a law in the first place, and the other thought in my head is just One would need to happen to make it a law. So if you are from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, you must keep your dog on a tight leash, as if your dog feel the need when it sees a car, you will violate law.Finally, this law in Owensboro, Ky., states " ; you may not receive anal sex. "Ok this is just absolutely hilarious. For one, I am only 45 minutes from Owensboro, Kentucky. Second, if you are in the stuff so I would just suggest to keep quite about the whole affair. From my interruption of this law is even if you are in the privacy of your own home and get involved in the act of anal sex your problems. However, the best thing about this law that states that "no one across from anal sex." So my second break, is that if you are a dealer you are free and clear is the only receiver who is guilty. You can take it for what it's worth the yourself.Now after laughing so much, after reading and writing about this, and you're curious about some of these funny and dumb laws in other states. All those laws I found and is under http://www.dumblaws.com. You can read them for yourself and I'm sure you'll find them fun as I have.Sources: dumblaws.com
