Perfect Timing for my Friend Who's Looking for Modern Furnitures

This is just a perfect timing. I got a friend who will be going back to the States after their work contact in Germany. They had been looking for furnitures here to be brought to the US but I guess it is very impossible. Besides that the prices here in Europe for furnitures are really very high, in addition to shipping will really be more expensive.

Besides that the current exchange rate of Dollar versus Euro is also very high. Her husband earns dollar (working anyway in one of the US bases here) here in Germany, so I guess they won't buy for such expensive furnitures here.

The last time I spoke to my friend, she mentioned about buying especially for a modern bedroom for them and another one for their only child. I believed, she will be happy if I will tell her about modernline Furniture. I already knew my friend's taste like being so always modern and stylish. Guess below is the perfect one..


Anyway, it's not really a problem with choosing a modern bedroom at Modernlinefurniture.com because they always have cheaper, qualitative, and quantitative items to choose from. They also have unique and exclusive models, colors and styles.

She will probably be surprised once I tell her about modernline Furniture. Not only that, they deliver anywhere in the US with a flat-fee shipping cost regardless of any order size. She can also have a variety of choices with a very reasonable and competitive price in looking for her modern bedroom.

A Valentine Quote

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

St. Valentine

Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole to he memory, which for a long time gave name to the gate now called Porta del Popolo, formerly, Porta Valetini. The greatest part of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as that of an illustrious martyr in the sacramentary of St. Gregory, the Roman Missal of Thomasius, in the calendar of F. Fronto and that of Allatius, in Bede, Usuard, Ado, Notker and all other martyrologies on this day. To abolish the heathens lewd superstitious custom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honor of their goddess Februata Juno, on the fifteenth of this month, several zealous pastors substituted the names of saints in billets given on this day.

The Origin of St. Valentine

The origin of St. Valentine, and how many St. Valentines there were, remains a mystery. One opinion is that he was a Roman martyred for refusing to give up his Christian faith. Other historians hold that St. Valentine was a temple priest jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius. Whoever he was, Valentine really existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom.

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in a The Nuremberg Chronicle, a great illustrated book printed in 1493. [Additional evidence that Valentine was a real person: archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine.] Alongside a woodcut portrait of him, text states that Valentinus was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius the Goth [Claudius II]. Since he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime], Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus made a strategic error: he tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't do it, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate [circa 269].

Saints are not supposed to rest in peace; they're expected to keep busy: to perform miracles, to intercede. Being in jail or dead is no excuse for non-performance of the supernatural. One legend says, while awaiting his execution, Valentinus restored the sight of his jailer's blind daughter. Another legend says, on the eve of his death, he penned a farewell note to the jailer's daughter, signing it, "From your Valentine."

St. Valentine was a Priest, martyred in 269 at Rome and was buried on the Flaminian Way. He is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses.

A Contradiction or a Truism?

"Play it safe; take a chance." At first glance, this statement may seem to be contradictory, but it is absolutely true that the person who won't take a chance hasn't got a chance.

For example, when you invest in the stock market, you are taking a chance. There is risk involved. But historically speaking, if you invest sensibly and go for the long haul, your returns will be consistent and appreciably larger than those you would receive from an interest-only deposit.

Homeowners take chances when they rent their homes because most tenants will not take care of a home as conscientiously as the owner of that home. However, any real estate agent will tell you that it is a far greater risk to leave the home empty because it deteriorates much faster empty than it does when it is occupied. After all, homes are built to be lived in.

The ship that leaves harbor runs certain risks because of currents, possible storms and potential collisions with other ships -- all of which can create real hazards. However, the ship is at greater risk if it is simply idle at anchor. It will collect barnacles faster and become unseaworthy faster in the safety of the harbor than it will while sailing the high seas. After all, that's why ships are built.

The farmer takes a huge risk when he plows the soil, plants and fertilizes the seed, and puts insecticide on the plants and trees. He puts his sweat and time in the project and is at the mercy of the weather until the crop is harvested. It's risky all right, but if he didn't take that risk, the land would provide little, if any, return, his family would suffer, and you and I would go without many of the things we take for granted.

In life, we undergo certain risks, and if we simply play everything safe, we do not have a chance. So take a chance, and I'll see you at the top!
