Chocolate labradors
Jack Vanderwyk traces the origins of all Chocolate labradors listed on the LabradorNet database (some 34,000 labradors dogs of all shades) to eight original bloodlines. However, the shade was not seen as a distinct colour until the 20th century; before then according to Vanderwyk, such dogs can be traced but were not registered. A degree of crossbreeding with Flatcoat or Chesapeake Bay retrievers was also documented in the early 20th century, prior to recognition. Chocolate labradors were also well established in the early 20th century at the kennels of the Earl of Feversham, and Lady Ward of Chiltonfoliat.

Did you know...
Prayer is the act of communicating with a god or spirit in worship.[1] Specific forms of this may include praise, requesting guidance or assistance, confessing sins, as an act of reparation or an expression of one's thoughts and emotions. The words used in prayer may take the form of intercession, a hymn, incantation or a spontaneous utterance in the person's praying words. Praying can be done in public, as a group, or in private.
Most major religions in the world involve prayer in one way or another in their rituals. Although in many cases the act of prayer is ritualized and must be followed through a sometimes strict sequence of actions (even going as far as restricting who may pray), other religions, mainly the Abrahamic religions, teach that prayer can be done spontaneously by anyone at any moment.

Born: May 31, 1948
Died: September 25, 1980
John Bonham grew up in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, and he first learned how to play drums when he was five, making a drumkit out of containers and coffee tins. It wasn't until age fifteen that he received his first real drumkit from his father'a Premier Percussion kit. Bonham never took any drum lessons while he was young, but would always seek out other drummers to ask for advice. After leaving secondary school in 1964, he worked for his father, Jack Bonham, as an apprentice carpenter while drumming for different local bands. That year he joined his first band, Terry Webb & The Spiders. Two years later he joined The Crawling King Snakes, whose lead singer was a young Robert Plant. Several years later, Plant recommended Bonham for a band he'd just joined, Led Zeppelin. The rest is history.

Rosemary is an evergreen perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean region, Portugal and Spain. It has silvery, needle-like foliage and delicate flowers. Blue, pink or white varieties are available, and they range in habit from creeping to mounding to upright.
Long known as the herb of remembrance, rosemary symbolizes loyalty and friendship, and has traditionally been associated with both weddings and funerals. Believing the gift came from Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, brides wore it in wreaths as a symbol of their fidelity.
