At the close of every divorce process, our Pittsburgh Divorce Lawyers often have to remind our clients that just because the papers have been filed, the process isn't over. There are still a few more things that should be done. Some people may not want to think about their divorce once all the court papers are finalized, but there are still various other things that need to be done in order to protect yourself and your children in the future. In today's blog, your Western PA Divorce Lawyers discuss ten things everyone should do after a Pennsylvania divorce.
- Plan for your future with a Will and/or Living Trust. First, it is crucial to make sure that any existing Will or Trust that includes your former spouse is rescinded. Secondly, it's important to make sure you establish a new end of life plan, especially if you have children.
- Cancel All Joint Accounts - Now is the time to terminate any accounts held jointly with your former spouse, and open new accounts in your name.
- Update Your Beneficiary Designations - Update your beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, IRAs, 401(k) and other plans to make sure your ex-spouse is no longer included on these documents.
- Manage Your Medical Insurance Coverage - If you were previously covered under your spouse's medical insurance, you need to either file for COBRA coverage or secure private insurance.
- Consider Life Insurance - Consider buying a policy of your own to ensure that your children will be provided for in case something happens to you.
- Re-titling the Cars and Updating Insurance - It's important to change all titles to reflect the proper ownership and update any insurance policies to reflect any changes in ownership, drivers or change addresses.
- Deal With Joint Debt - After a divorce any joint debt needs to be reworked. Now is the time to refinance and/or remove your name from any debt that was previously jointly held. These debts commonly include leases, mortgages, and lines of credit.
- Change Your Passwords - Change your online passwords to something only you know.
- Change Your Address - If the marital home was sold or it was awarded to the other spouse as part of equitable distribution, make sure to update your address with all service providers, your licenses and especially creditors.
- Change Your Name - For women who have chosen to change their names back after a divorce, you must communicate the corresponding change with all creditors and government agencies. Be sure to change your name on your license, passport, social security card, and other official documents.
If you are facing a Pennsylvania divorce, contact our team of PA Divorce Lawyers at Lisa Marie Vari & Associates. Our team of lawyers will provide you with the legal guidance necessary to help you before, during, and after your Pennsylvania divorce. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.


text: I haven't used my 360 since Bayonetta. Recently I downloaded Halo Reach, The new Castlevania, and Enslaved. After I've reached the main menu and selected new campaign, all three of these games freeze about 20 seconds later during their intro sequences. I've re burnt and redownloaded all three from different sources and get the same error. What's the deal? Has there been some kind of essential update recently? Because that would be a bit of a pain as I didn't flash my own 360.

If you're looking for affordable web design London services then look no further. Here at Cloud we have been creating websites for both local and national companies for a number of years - and it is this experience that has helped us really refine our services. We're proud to be a company that listens to its customer base in order to make sure we create packages and offer services that everyone can be happy with.
When we first started to look into offering web design London services, one thing that many people seemed unhappy about was the cost of getting a website online. It is often start-up businesses that are looking for web design services and it is this stage of a business where budgets are at their tightest. Companies told us that although they recognised the importance of being online, the hefty costs charged by some companies made it impossible for this to become a reality.
Pay Month Web Design London
It is this worry about cost that prompted us to develop our pay monthly services. We felt that the flexibility of a monthly package would open up the possibly of decent web design to everyone. We still offer the same high quality web design services that we always have - except now you can pay for them monthly rather than pay out large amounts of money up front to get online.
What you will also see from our web design packages page is that we offer different services. This is because we don't want you to have to pay out for a premium service if it's not something you need. Instead you can pick the exact service that matches your needs and only pay for what you need. Of course as your business grows you can expand and upgrade your package so that your website can expand with you.
Why Us?
All of the team at Cloud are passionate about offering high quality web design London services. We know that having a good website online is essential and we want to make this happen for you. We have a very skilled and experienced team of web designs, app developments and generally internet wizards. This means that whatever you need, we'll have someone on our team to help make it happen.

We know that if you're relying on us to take care of your web design needs, you're doing this because you want a hassle free way to get yourself online and so you can feel confident that we'll do all of this for you. Right from the very initial design stages right through to getting your website online and your email working!
If you want to know more about our web design London services then please get in touch, we'll be happy to answer any questions or queries you may have.
I created my business around 6 months ago with very little capital but needed a website to help market. I was actually recommended Cloud Web Solutions and from day 1 I've had the most amazing experience. Not only was my website designed to a high standard, I pay a monthly direct debit that has helped in my first year. I also know after 2 years, I can rebrand and keep my costs. Jack has been fantastic, and would recommend all businesses to use this fantastic service. I will also add, all my queries and requests are always dealt with very quickly and extremely professionally.
I find Cloud Web Solutions very professional and committed to delivering a first rate service to their customers. Jack's attention to detail and understanding of what the client needs together with his patience with the fine tuning process is a refreshing change to my past experience with website developers. I would definitely recommend Cloud Web Solutions for a first class service whatever the size of your business.
Highly recommended!Very good communication and always answered my queries...I recently asked for some improvements for my website and that was done straight away for me without any hesitation and exactly the way I want it!Thank you so much Jack and the team for everything you are doing for me and my business! Keep up the good work!

We can't fault Jack and the team at Cloud Web Solutions, Any request is completed without argument or issue and our dreams in regards to our website have become reality. This company is a must use for any business when it comes to website design, they are true geniuses.
Cloud provides a fast accurate and intelligent service both in building sites and maintaining them. It is competitive and effective. It is my first port of call for all my websites and I recommend it all the time to others, so I am glad I have a chance to put something on this site to encourage people to use it.
Cloud is Brilliant. I had been very badly let down by a company who promised the earth and it took them 12 weeks do tell me they couldn't come up with more than a holding page. I didn't know what I was doing!

Thats cool that dad is getting some more work in before the end of the year. Isnt it really out of the normal to get so much work this late in the season? This is a blessing resultant of tithing, did you know?Also the house thing is going to be weird, but it will just compliment the rest of the weird changes that are going to have been made during my 2 year absensce. Also I dont mind if you send me pictures that doesnt bother me at all. I havent yet got any packages or pics, but yet again I will be going to the post office here in a few hours to grab the mail and I will know then if I get anything.Its good to know that Corwin finally has a drivers lisensce and not just a permit now. It is also nice to hear that he has gone with the most popular car model in the Rio Grande do Sul: an old VW beetle. There are a lot of people here that have that same car. How is Corwin doing do you know? maybe Jase knows a little. Its cool that you saw Alex as well. I will definitely have to hang out with him in the short period that I am at home before BYU. Its going to be a busy few weeks.
This week was good in certain aspects but was a bit difficult. There was a really awesome Zone conference that we had with President Ribeiro. It got me a little bit more excited and way more pressured to work more efficiently and better with the members. In our mission at the moment practically no one is working well with the members, so that will definitely be something that we are working on this week. I ate some food that was bad monday night and passed all of Tuesday as the king of the bathroom. I got some pretty bad food poisoning and was incapacitated for one full day (tuesday) and I didnt completely ´´normalize´´ until Thursday. But I am better now and free of sickness. We had a really hard time fiding new people to teach this week. And the two people we did find arent too promising.. We still have a date marked for the 17th (we delayed the baptism a week so that we would have time to teach everything). Daniele the guy we are teaching and going to baptize has been having heart problems, and so it has been kind of hard to find him at home to teach him. He still has a very strong desire to be baptized and has been going to church for a while, so we will work hard to prepare him for the 17th. We are also trying to work with a guy who is married to a less active member. He is wanting to go to church etc, and he already knows that he is going to be baptized but it appears that his wife is the one that is more in the way than anything in terms of him going to church etc. I was a bit disanimated on saturday because we didnt teach very much and spent a lot of time walking and it was very very hot, but after a lot of prayer and a fast I am much better now. This work is true. Something I am doing with the Book of Mormon this week that I am enjoying is something that I beleive Elder Bednar said to do. To write a question in the front of the book, start the book over and look for an answer to that question while you read. I am discovering all kinds of new insights that I never thought of while doing a general reading. Well I love you and hope you are all doing very well. -Elder Eskildsen
oh and Socks. I would like socks in my Christmas package. Black socks. Also Jelly Belly Jelly beans if that is possible.

Title of Bulletin Board: Physical Activity is Key to Unlocking the Treasure
Category: Physical Activities
Suggested Grade Level: All
Materials: gold coins, necklaces, tresure chest cut out and keys
Our theme this year was "Finding the key to unlock the treasure in you!" I always try to make a board that fits the theme. I decided on "Physical Activity is KEY to Unlocking the treasure in You!" Then with the students we talk about how important physical activity is to perform your best in everything. Along with physical activity, the other keys included plenty of rest, good nutrition, the components of health-related fitness,s and skill-related fitness. We also talked about how the other factors play a role in doing your best or "unlocking your treasure." I used a die cut treasure chest to save time, but you could certainly make your own. The physical activity key is bigger than the rest and looks like it is opening the treasure chest. The border really draws attention to the treasure theme. I used hot glue to glue plastic coins and beaded necklaces (treasure) to a yellow border. The kids just loved the coins and beads.
You could also include character traits and/or future occupations that require physical activity.

Before i got this little wonder, i was using a MaryKay eye primer which was okay, but i didn't know what i was missing until i was introduced to Tara's primer.
|Tara's eye primer
This product is cream-coloured, creamy and a little bit thick...thick enough for the eyeshadow to stick to.....thicker than the MaryKay version. I like the packaging, how small it is and the transparent plastic lid/cover.
When i use my Tara primer, my eyeshadow does not crease at all, and it intensifies the vibrancy of the colours i use on my lids (which is what a primer is meant to do). I like the way my eyeshadow sticks to the primer while i apply it.
|lol at my finger prints
|A swatch of the eye primer
Below are pictures of eyeshadows from Tara's Queen Amina palette applied with and without the primer so that you can compare.....
|Left : With primer | Right : Without primer
|Left : With primer | Right : Without primer
|Left : With primer | Right : Without primer
|My MaryKay primer
|Left : Tara's Primer | Right : MaryKay's Primer
See?! See what i've been missing since? *wipes brow*. I think Tara's own has that nice effect because of the cream colour of the primer....that cream serves as an under-tone for whichever shadow you apply and brightens it up (just my theory...i could be wrong sha.)
Anyhoo! That's my humble review.
Do you happen to know a better eye primer than Tara's? Please share!

The Ultimate Stuart Piano Sound
Stuart & Sons unique sound is the result of an ongoing commitment to the evolution of the acoustic piano.
In the Stuart & Sons piano many factors including rare timbers, metals, technology, complex mechanisms and years of experience are subtly bought together to create clarity and richness of sound.
The distinct features of these Ultimate Pianos culminate in greater control over the intensity of the hammer strike with the addition of a broader range of bass and treble frequencies.
The enhanced performance qualities of these reference pianos empower the player to control the sound as they wish. This 'New Voice' has been achieved by increasing the attack and decay transients through reduced internal damping without masking or muddying the sound envelope.
Frequency Spectrum of Stuart & Sons 2.9m 102 key Concert Grand Piano
A selection of recordings of pianists and composers performing original compositions. Also, other material recorded at Stuart & Sons White Room Studio Newcastle, NSW.

I'm not in to clipping coupons, but I like saving money. With most products it's easy to watch and wait for a sale to save money on what you want. But in construction that isn't true. You can't take advantage of sales like that, because there is no sales season, many items don't go on sale and most aren't on sale when you need them.
In construction, there are only a few ways to save money. Some use the lowest cost materials they can buy. Some use the lowest cost labor they can find. Some push people to work faster or sooner than they should. These methods are easy and obvious, but each has it's pitfall. and while they do save some money, what they cost later in redoing and repairing work is often far greater.
In construction, saving money is about negotiating the best prices for what you want, and controlling costs. The best to do that is to use this simple 3 – step process:
1 – Plan you renovation project to outline the work you want done. Include adds and deducts to account for things you might or might not want.
2 – Negotiate the best price by using competitive bid, adjusting the scope of the work with new information and objectively comparing prices.
3 – Successfully manage construction, enforcing the scope, contract and quality you expect, paying only for what is complete.
Contractors make money by getting in, doing the work and getting out. The faster they can get in and out with the least amount of problems, the more money they make. This 3 – step process works because contractors have a clear picture of what they need to do before getting to the project, what the expectations are, how long they have to do it, and the price has been well negotiated before starting.

The Last Winter of Dani Lancing
A NovelBook - 2013 | First American edition
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
I really don't know how I feel about this. Did I like it? I honestly have no idea. I think a big part of it is that it wasn't what I was expecting. In some ways, that was a really cool thing, and in others..it's just not the sort of book I would have picked up knowing some things about it. So take this review with a grain of salt. Most mystery novels I read or watch on tv focus on the investigators, not on the family itself. This book chose to reverse that situation. It gave a very interesting point of view on the story - especially with the story lines alternating between Dani's father, mother, and her best friend. From the start, I didn't like Pattie very much. She's rather...driven, in an unattractive manner. Tom is somewhat more likeable but the longer I spent with him the more I was equal parts repulsed by him and pitied him. Neither are particularly pleasant emotions. Jim is by far the most enjoyable character. Some people might not like the different timelines being told simultaneously (well in alternating chapters) as well as a focus on different characters in each chapter (not first person, but third person limited), but I thought it was a really effective way of revealing just enough information with just enough bait to keep you going. Others have criticized the book for being too twisty and convenient, but honestly in a mystery novel that doesn't bother me too much. I will say that it's definitely not who/what you are expecting. As soon as you think you know...trust me you don't! I think this was an interesting way of writing a mystery novel. I liked that it focused on the family and not the investigators - I thought that was really effective. It may have been more effective had I liked most of the characters. Basically this book wasn't so much for me, but I think there are plenty of people out there who will enjoy this. For the full review, head to my blog at OboeChica Books (so long and thanks for all the fish).
Excellent first time out author. The characters are moving and the plot really holds you. Looking forward to a second book.
I wouldn't say this is a highly suspenseful thriller but there is some level of suspense from start to finish that makes it a bit of a page turner. If you don't like books that jump around a lot in time, then this book isn't for you. It is very fragmented, but I thought it really worked in this novel.

Swaziland are inching closer to a clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the next round of the 2018 World Cup qualifier following the Southern African nation's 6-0 mauling of Djibouti yesterday.
The Eagles were drawn by in the preliminary rounds of the qualifiers by the world's football governing body FIFA and were tipped to face the winners of the game between Swaziland and Djibouti.
After the emphatic victory at the El Hadj Hassan Goule Stadium in the first leg qualifier, Swaziland are likely to move into the next round where they would battle Nigeria for a place in the group stages.
Djibouti and Swaziland will now meet on Tuesday for their second leg at Lobamba and the winners will take on Nigeria in the next round.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will continue their preparations for the World Cup qualifier by playing the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon tomorrow in Brussels after losing to Congo DR 2-0 in the first of the two friendlies organised for them by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

"Lucy," the famous upright-walking human ancestor who is estimated to be more than 3 million years old, may have died after from falling from a tree, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin.
What caused Lucy's death has been the source of much debate in the scientific community since the discovery of her partial skeleton in 1974.
At 3.18-million-years-old, Lucy's skeleton is one of the oldest and most complete fossils of an erect-walking hominim ever discovered, according to a statement from UT Austin announcing the research. Lucy's remains have also caused a major debate over whether her species (Australopithecus afarensis) was arboreal, or spent time in trees, according to the UT Austin researchers.
An autopsy performed on her remains suggests that she did spend some time in trees, according to John Kappelman, a UT Austin professor and the lead author of the study, who calls the cause of death "ironic."
"It is ironic that the fossil at the center of a debate about the role of arborealism in human evolution likely died from injuries suffered from a fall out of a tree," Kappelman, the professor of anthropology and geological sciences at UT Austin, said in a statement.
Kappelman studied thousands of high-resolution CT scans of Lucy's remains and noticed unusual fractures in her bones, which led him to theorize that Lucy may have fallen to her death. He believes that Lucy most likely sought refuge in trees during the night, according to a statement from UT Austin.
"When the extent of Lucy's multiple injuries first came into focus, her image popped into my mind's eye, and I felt a jump of empathy across time and space," Kappelman said. "Lucy was no longer simply a box of bones but in death became a real individual: a small, broken body lying helpless at the bottom of a tree."

Photography: In Flight
Last week I took the DA* 300mm f4 out with the 1.5x Kenko teleconverter to a local state park. It's always a challenge, but fun as well. Birds are generally very skittish, so even the slightest movement will set them off in the opposite direction. I eventually found a spot along the lake and camped out there for a while. Here are some of the resulting images. All images were … Continue reading

Since discontinuing the long endurance training needed for IM, then the holidays, and winter in general, which I believe in cold weather climates leads to the body wanting to cling to any extra fat you might carry in order to stay warm, I can't help but start feeling out of shape by this time every year, regardless of how much I am exercising or watching what I eat.
And since I no longer run 35-40 miles a week or have four small children to run around after, I have found over the past 5 years or so especially that the only true way for me to get back into racing shape is to do the drastic "detox" method of dieting for anywhere from 2-4 weeks. This has always proven successful in helping me lose up to 15 pounds of weight that apparently I don't really need. My goal this year isn't quite that drastic, but it certainly is the best way--for me--to drop 5-7 pounds within a few weeks. And what better time than the off season?
What this involves is no sugar, no caffeine, no alcohol, no starchy foods, no "white" flour foods. While I don't find it that hard to give up sweets or snacks, I do find it hard to give up toast, french fries, peanut butter (massive amounts), or other salty foods, all comfort foods for me. Those are my downfall. And if I do drink wine, it only increases my chance of eating more of these foods than I need. I am just one of those people who has to completely stop eating something to quit binging on stuff I don't need. Binging isn't necessarily the right word, but I can't think of anything else close to describe this. Maybe getting out of control at times is a better way of putting it.
Anyway, I am on day 9 of this process. Its an up and down thing. What do you eat when you go out to eat? How do you tactfully avoid certain foods when asked to dinner at a friend's? How do you avoid the cocktails and nuts at the pre-dinner meeting cocktail hour? How do you balance things out so you're just not living on veggies and water all day? How do you keep from thinking about food all day? What happens if you forget to read a label, assuming you know what is in a particular food and find out later there is hidden sugar? And the most challenging, how do you handle workouts and eating, while still managing to eat "clean" and maintain muscle and not become a limp rag?
It is hard to be constantly vigilant, and I tell myself every year I will be good all year to avoid this process next year. But my memory is short apparently, and once again I fell into that trap last year.
So far, in 9 days, I have managed to go down about 2.5 pounds, which I think is a fairly normal loss, not necessarily related to water loss because I don't tend to retain water ever. I have been going more frequently just because of increased water intake and that tendency to flush out the system, especially cutting out the excess things the body really doesn't need to survive. But its very hard to tell yourself no when all these temptations are around.
After 9 days, however, your body starts listening to your brain, and it starts becoming second nature to avoid certain things you know are only going to put you back on that roller coaster again. The true test is not the "detox" or "deprivation" stage is continuing this good eating plan throughout the year.

Hi Guys & Gals
I've just bought a Becak (pronounced Bay-chak) which is an Indonesian peddle powered rickshaw, with :-
A scary lack of brakes
single speed (with freewheel)
dangerous wobble when riding down hills! (and very heavy to push up hills!! )
I hope to add drum or band brakes to the front wheels (any ideas for a suitable brake?) and electric assist or possibly a temporary 3-5 speed hub with back-peddle brake. And a locking hand-brake.

LONDON — Customers of one of the U.K.'s largest ISPs, Sky, will find themselves automatically blocked from online porn.
The new adult content filter will be installed over the next few days to all its 5.3 million customers, as a part of Prime Minister David Cameron's initiative.
Cameron said in July 2013 that the four major ISPs in the U.K. had until the end 2014 to ask every household to make a decision about parental controls. But adoption rates have also been low.
Company spokeswoman Lyssa McGowan wrote on Sky's blog that the provider will be emailing customers who haven't chosen to activate or disable the system starting this month, giving them the chance to make a decision on the matter. If they ignore the mail, it will automatically be turned on.
Customers still will be able to choose to turn off the Sky Broadband Shield, which protects against malware and phishing sites, and has a watershed feature with adjustable times and age ratings to prevent children from viewing material during any given part of the day.
Richard King, who wrote for Open Rights Group on its blog today, said the latest initiative will increase harm for websites and surfers, and there is still little evidence of the benefit to children.
"Could Sky Broadband be seeking to increase adoption of web filters through 'nudge' tactics in order to avoid government criticism for a lack of uptake?" he asked. "Public interest in activating filters has been low since the government started pressuring ISPs to introduce them in summer 2013.
"Ofcom said in July 2014 that just eight percent of Sky broadband subscribers had switched them on. The same report showed a 34 percent adoption-rate for competitor TalkTalk, which promotes filters aggressively, and have made them the default option for new subscribers for a long time," King said.
"Nudge tactics rely on the principle that most people don't bother changing defaults," King said. "If Sky's agenda were neutral, they would block all web-access for an account until the account-holder had stated their preference about filters: on or off. Instead they intend to block only those sites 'deemed unsuitable for under 13s.'"

As refinancing volumes plummet, lenders are trying to extend the home financing boom by pitching adjustable-rate mortgages to borrowers, harkening back to the pre-crisis boom years.
Applications for adjustable-rate loans now make up 6% of mortgage loan requests, up from 3% at the beginning of the year, though still well below the 32% peak in 2004, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Choosing an adjustable-rate mortgage would seem counterintuitive when interest rates are rising. But the spread between average starting rates on hybrid ARMs and 30-year fixed mortgage rates has widened in the past few months, making the ARMs more attractive for borrowers who want to cut their monthly bills. (Hybrid ARMs have rates that are set at a fixed rate for a limited time — typically five or seven years — before resetting higher.)
"Banks are definitely doing more ARMs because they're selling the consumer what they're asking for, which is a lower monthly payment," says Bob Caruso, an executive managing director at Lender Processing Services. "It's like it was several years ago where customers buy the lowest possible payment, not knowing the consequences."
Many borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages were among the first to default during the downturn. When their rates adjusted after an initial teaser period, they were unable to refinance and got stuck owing sharply higher payments.
This time around will be different, lenders say, because underwriting standards are tougher for hybrid ARMs, so borrowers will be less likely to get squeezed when interest rates reset. Moreover, regulators have all but banned the interest-only and balloon payment features that made ARMs ticking time bombs during the financial crisis.
"The world has changed since 2003 and underwriting standards are much higher," says Cameron Findlay, the chief economist at Discover's home loans division. "You still want to ensure that the consumer has the ability to repay and that we're not setting people up for failure."
Since May, the average fixed rate for a 30-year mortgage has climbed 110 basis points. As a result, the percentage of conventional borrowers eligible to refinance has dropped to 30% from more than 80%, says Scott Buchta, head of fixed-income strategy at Brean Capital.
"The low-hanging fruit is gone, so lenders have to dig a little deeper. They're looking to keep the pipelines full," says Buchta. "Lenders are pushing ARMs right now because so many fixed-rate borrowers are out of the money," meaning they would not significantly cut their expenses by refinancing into a fixed-rate loan.

'A Very Busy Parish'
By Eileen Jevis/ SUN staff writer
SUN photo(s) Paul Finch
St. Francis Xavier Church Celebrates 150 Years
MARCELLUS –– Martin and Dorothy Sennett have seen a lot of changes and a lot priests come and go from their parish over the last eight decades. After all, the Marcellus natives have been parishioners at St. Francis Xavier Church for 85 years. They were both baptized there, made all of the sacraments and were married there. "There's only one sacrament left for us to receive at St. Francis," joked Dorothy.
St. Francis Xavier Church, one of the oldest churches in the diocese, is celebrating its 150th year as a community. Throughout the weekend of Sept. 25 and 26, the parish will celebrate its history and longevity as a strong Catholic community. Father J. Michael Donovan will celebrate a special Mass at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday to commemorate the milestone. A parish picnic will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Creek Hollow Pavilion in Marcellus Park. The event is open to all parishioners and will include a catered luncheon, games, activities and live music. Historical records indicate that the first religious service for the Catholic population in Marcellus was held in 1849 at the home of John McNally and celebrated by Father Michael Heas, with 10 people in attendance. Father Heas was a circuit-riding priest who covered not only Onondaga County but also parts of Madison, Cortland and Oswego Counties. A tavern originally stood on the site of the present church and services were held on the second floor. For more than 12 years, while still considered a mission church of St. Joseph's in Camillus, the parish held services at the tavern for a growing population of Catholics. In 1867, through the support of the congregation, funds were raised to start the erection of the church. The old tavern was torn down and on its site the present Church of St. Francis Xavier was completed in 1868. St. Francis remained a mission church of St. Joseph's until February 1873 when it became an independent parish.
Father Heas remained the circuit-riding pastor until 1852 when pastors from Camillus and Skaneateles took over until 1873. Father John J. Hayden was the first pastor in residence. As a church community, St. Francis Xavier has grown from 20 members to more than 2,000 over the last 150 years. Father Donovan said that there are approximately 800 families currently registered at the parish, with 500 children enrolled in religious education. "It's a very busy parish," said Father Donovan. "But we have a lot of lay people involved in various ministries. People are very supportive and generous," he said. Kathleen Owens has been pastoral associate at St. Francis for nine years. She said that Father Donovan's great sense of trust in people allows them to use their gifts and contribute their time and talents to the parish. Owens loves being a part of a small parish in a close-knit community. "I love that a small parish allows me to be a participant in people's lives in many different ways," said Owens. "I work with children being baptized right up through working with families making funeral arrangements. I am able to touch families at many different levels."
While Owens and Father Donovan appreciate and recognize the volunteerism of more than 60 lay people, Martin Sennett said that he misses the sense of community he felt as a member of the Holy Name Society. "A group of men who were brought together for one purpose created a sense of community," said Sennett. "When you don't have that coming together, you don't have a sense of cohesiveness. People don't have that reason to congregate anymore," he said. Sennett recalled fondly his days when Father Thomas Driscoll and Father Daniel Hartnett were pastors of the parish from the 1920s to the late 1960s. "I was an altar boy for Father Driscoll," said Sennett. "I was in awe of him. He always asked us if we had washed our hands before serving as altar boy. We would tell him we had and he would tell us to go wash them again. He was a stickler for cleanliness." Father Hartnett married the Sennetts 63 years ago. "He had a good, spiritual effect on us as a couple and as a family, said Dorothy. "He was very devoted to the Blessed Mother and St. Francis Xavier." The Sennetts said that their children had many positive social and spiritual benefits being members of the parish. "The kids would go to the rectory and ask Father Hartnett if they could have the key to go and use the parish hall to bowl or play basketball," recalled Dorothy. "He would tell them to go to church and say the Stations of the Cross and then come back for the key."
Today, St. Francis Xavier is a community of many different people. Marcellus is no longer considered a farming community, but instead is a mixture of young and old, people who work in numerous and varied occupations and who come from many walks of life. It is also a community that shares a strong, common thread -–– one of community involvement, strong faith and great pride in its history.

Summer is by far my favorite season - and how could it not be?! Growing up by the beach in Southern California, a shed full of wetsuits, boogie boards, flippers and surfboards was essential. This season, I invested in a new wetsuit and a great 7' foamie surfboard (#kook). Being out in the waves is one of the best feeling ever - last weekend I took my new board out in Venice and definitely caught the surf bug! I hope you like these products for beach season as much as I do...

Consultative Banking Collaborates Efforts With Regents Bank and NFN Investments
It was important for Lauren and Spencer Noecker to continue the legacy their father left them, and they've done that very successfully with NFN Investments in Vancouver, WA. They feel Regents Bank Vancouver used a consultative approach from their first meeting with the local Vice President and continues to this day. They appreciate this collaborative approach which has continued over the years with their Relationship Manager, someone that understands their goals and objectives and that has become more than a banker to them, but an adviser with a genuine interest in their business and their success.
They wholeheartedly recommend Regents Bank to other businesses. Here's a little about their business and their success story. It's very inspiring and we at Regents Bank are happy to have played a part in helping their dreams come true:

Third in a series examining the four ballot questions before Massachusetts voters in the Nov. 8 election.
By Oriana Durand
Boston University Statehouse Program
To frame the Question 3 debate in the way the opponents and proponents have argued over the past few months, Massachusetts voters are being asked to choose between an ethical treatment of farm animals and the impact on low-income families.
Supporters of the ballot question argue that a "yes" vote would make it illegal to keep chickens, pigs and calves in cages that prevent them from standing up or moving their limbs.
"These animals are crammed in cages so small that they can barely move an inch, and this practice is abusive," said Stephanie Harris, the Yes on 3 campaign director.
Opponents led by Diane Sullivan, an anti-poverty activist, say the extra costs of the law would make cheap eggs unavailable to poor families that rely on cheap protein options to feed their children.
"It is a social injustice. It's regressive food tax," Sullivan said. "We are making the decision between do I pay my rent, do I feed my children or keep the lights on?"
Question 3 forbids the sale of eggs, pork and veal from animals raised in tight confinement, although the law would affect just one farm in Massachusetts. However, it would also apply to sales imported from sources outside of the state.
"Every other farm in Massachusetts is doing the right thing by their hens, so it's a really reasonable and modest measure.
Joann Lindenmayer, an expert in public health and veterinary medicine, believes any increase in price would be a modest cost that would allow more humane treatment of farm animals.
"If you think of it in terms of risk benefit, the benefit to millions of animals is enormous. It's an incredibly small price to play for a huge animal welfare benefit," said Lindenmayer.
Opponents have challenged the referendum as unenforceable and unfair to those struggling to make ends meet.
Currently, the national average price for one dozen large eggs is $1.47, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. With this new legislation, egg industry studies show that prices can rise between 1 and 5 cents per egg, which would amount to an additional $10 per year per household.
During a recent debate aired on the Boston public radio station WBUR, Bill Bell, the general manager of the Brown Egg Council, said consumers who rely on eggs would have no alternative to the higher prices brought by the ballot question.
Opponents point to California, where a similar law was passed in 2008. Following its implementation, prices of eggs rose above the national cost for eggs.
"Eggs are inelastic in their demand and supply because they are so essential for protein," he said. "Producer cost (for cage-free eggs), which is a 36 percent increase, will be reflected in the marketplace, and I can assure you it'll be more than a penny or two an egg."
However, Question 3 supporters claim the changes will improve not only animal conditions, but also food safety.
"Massachusetts families are currently threatened by these substandard and unsafe products in our marketplace," said Harris. "Cage facilities have a significantly higher rate of salmonella than their cage-free counterparts do, and salmonella is the leading cause of food poisoning deaths in America today."
Jessica Van Steensburg, whose farm We Can Farm is located in the town of Heath, said you can see the difference between eggs from confined chickens and those from hens raised in more spacious conditions.
"I raised my animals on a small farm. The eggs are bright orange rather than pale yellow, and that's a direct reflection of how they're raised," said Van Steensburg.
Large corporations such as Walmart, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts and many others have pledged to use or sell eggs that come exclusively from cage-free environments.
"If they want to sell to those large companies, farmers are going to have to change the way they're raising these animals," said Lindenmayer.
Diemand Farm, in the Franklin County town of Wendell, is the sole farm in Massachusetts that would be impacted by the new law, according to a statement from "Tammy" at the Diemand Farm. It currently raises nearly 3,000 laying birds. If the legislation passes, it would have to reduce that number to 500.
"There are not enough free-range chickens in Massachusetts to supply the millions of eggs purchased by consumers. This would lead to a price increase and probably a shortage of eggs," said Tammy.
Although the vote takes place this November, implementation would not begin until 2022, which allows businesses, retailers and farmers to adapt and make the transition to cage-free eggs.
"Unlike California, where farmers had to make that adjustment very fast, Massachusetts will be given until 2022 to make that switch over. This can be something that's gradual, it doesn't need to have the immediate impact on the price of eggs," said Lindenmayer.

Three of Emmys' favorite ladies — Cloris Leachman, Betty White, and Kathryn Joosten — should start dusting off their mantels, because one of them could well win another statue this September as Best Supporting Comedy Actress. Together, this trio of sassy dames has racked up a staggering 41 Emmy nominations and 15 wins over their lengthy careers.
Cloris Leachman leads with 21 nominations and a record 8 victories (and that's not even counting her single Daytime Emmy award). While she is billed as a "Special Guest Star" on "Raising Hope," her over-the-top character Maw Maw has become such a fixture on the Fox laffer that she should be entered in the supporting category come Emmy time.
Betty White, a 17-time nominee, picked up her fifth statue last year as Guest Comedy Actress for her much-viewed stint hosting "Saturday Night Live." Last month, White was as suprised as the pundits when she won the Comedy Actress award from SAG for "Hot in Cleveland." While the actors guild doesn't distinguish between lead and featured performances, the TV academy does and White will likely go supporting for this TV Land hit sitcom.
Longtime TV academy governor Kathryn Joosten has two wins to show for her three Guest Comedy Actress bids for "Desperate Housewives." After six seasons playing grouchy neighbor Karen McCluskey, the ABC comedy staple finally promoted Joosten to a full-fledged series regular this year, so she'll be entering her name as a supporting actress.
Last year's nominees in the Supporting Comedy Actress category are all in the running again this time around: Julie Bowen ("Modern Family"), Jane Krakowski ("30 Rock"), Jane Lynch ("Glee"), Holland Taylor ("Two And A Half Men"), Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family"), and Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live"). Three of those ladies will surely hear their names called again this year — the two "Modern Family" gals and the unstoppable Lynch, who won her first career bid last year for playing "Glee's" Sue Sylvester. The other three are not locks to receive another nomination.
While we will have to wait and see whether one of Leachman, White, or Joosten can overtake Lynch to win the award, their extensive Emmy resumes should be enough to make it quite the race.

Posts Tagged 'Attack Phase'
Attack Phase Day 7
Day 7 of the Attack Phase stats:
- Weight Today 107.2 kgs
- Weight Lost 0.6 kgs
- Total Weight Lost 2.4 kgs
What I ate yesterday:
- Breakfast – Oat Bran Porridge
- Snack – none
- Lunch – Chicken/Turkey burger, Dukan Custard
- Snack – 3 Crab Sitcks
- Dinner – Grilled Chicken Breast, 0% Fat Yoghurt
- Drinks – 2 ltrs water, 1 cup of tea, 1 cup of coffee.
- Exercise – 15 mins Crosstrainer
This will be my last Attack day and I am happy with the weight loss so far
I had planned to have a mid-morning snack as I only had porridge for breakfast but I just wasn´t hungry and didn´t start to think about food until 2pm. And I did some exercise…….I sometimes wish I was the sporty type who just loves to exercise!
We are going out to visit friends today (and to pick out a new puppy for me!) so I´m not sure how it will go. Maybe I´ll bring some sliced meat and crab sticks with me – they are understanding types so shouldn´t be a problem.
The Dukan Custard is just as good when it has been stored in the fridge and I will definately be making it again.
Attack Phase Day 6
Day 6 of the Attack Phase stats:
- Starting Weight 109.6 kgs
- Weight Today 107.8 kgs
- Weight Gain 0.2 kgs
- Total Weight Lost 1.8 kgs
What I ate yesterday:
- Breakfast – Oat Bran Pancake.
- Snack – none
- Lunch – Egg Wrap with Smoked Salmon and Fromage Frais, Custard
- Snack – 3 crab sticks
- Dinner – 2 slices Turkey Meat, Grilled Panga (fish), 0% fat yoghurt.
- Drinks – more than 2 ltrs water, 2 cups of tea, 2 cups coffee.
- Exercise – No proper exercise but went shopping again.
I ate very late last night and think that may have contributed to the small gain. Also didn´t have to go to the toilet my usual 3 times during the night so may also be some water retention.
I´m not very good at doing the exercise as you can see so from today I am going to make a real effort to either go far a long walk or go on the crosstrainer.
I am doing 7 days on Attack and have to say I am not really missing vegetables yet!
Attack Phase – Day 5
Day 5 of the Attack Phase stats:
- Starting Weight 109.6 kgs
- Weight Today 107.6 kgs
- Weight Lost 1.1 kgs
- Total Weight Lost 2.0 kgs
What I ate yesterday:
- Breakfast – Oat Bran Porridge
- Snack – none
- Lunch – 2 eggs scrambled, smoked salmon, 0% fat yoghurt.
- Snack – 3 crab sticks
- Dinner – Chicken/Turkey mince made into a burger, 0% fat yoghurt.
- Drinks – more than 2 ltrs water, 2 cups of tea.
- Exercise – No proper exercise but went shopping which is enough for me!
I got my Dukan Diet book in the post yesterday so have been reading up on what is allowed on this
diet. I realised that I could be eating more on the Attack phase, but I haven´t been hungry snce Monday
(carb-hangover day).
I´m going to make the custard from the recipe section of the book today as we have a glut of eggs
at the moment.
I am absolutely chuffed with the weight loss so far – I though that as I had already been on a
diet for months before starting the Dukan Diet that I wouldn´t lose so fast. But 2 kilos, or almost 4.5 lbs
is a great loss!
Attack Phase Day 2
Day 2 of the Attack Phase stats:
- Weight Today 109.2 kgs
- Weight Lost 0.4 kgs
What I ate yesterday:
- Breakfast – porridge made with Oat Bran, skimmed milk and a little sweetener.
- Snack – 4 slickes cooked ham (they are small round slices) so about 30g.
- Lunch – 2 eggs scrambled
- Snack – Non-fat soft cheese and smoked salmon.
- Dinner – Tuna Steak grilled.
- Drinks – over 2 ltrs water, 2 cups of tea.
- Exercise – 20 minute walk with the dog.
The day went fairly well but I was hungry, as you can tell by the snacking. I think this is the aftermath of my carb binge over the weekend! I drank a lot of water which is good for me – I used to hate the stuff but now I keep a large glass of water on the desk so I remember I am supposed to be drinking it.
The 20 minute walk should have been longer but our dog is not very well behaved – he gets all the exercise he needs running round the campo and doesn´t "do" being walked! At one stage he nearly pulled me head-first into the river – well I say river….it´s more of a stream.
So I´m very happy with my first day as a Dukaneer and hope the rest of the diet goes this well!
Starting Dukan Diet Today & Carb Hangover!
So I have decided to start the Dukan Diet today as I was sick as a dog last night after my carb binge weekend! Having been on Atkins since the end of July with only minor blips along the way, I now realise that carbs are BADDDDDDD!!!!! I felt so sick last night…….I won´t be doing that again in a hurry!
So Dukan starts now – I am going to try out the porridge for breakfast. I have to go shopping for low fat yoghurts and more meat, the chickens will provide all the eggs I need.
My starting weight this morning is 109.6 and my BMI is 39.3. I am planning on doing 7 days in Attack and hope to lose 3kg.

Congress asks GAO to investigate Medicare and Medicaid antifraud contractors
Sen. Henry Waxman (D-CA)
Following a series of troubling reports about the success rate of antifraud contractors, lawmakers are asking the Government Accountability Office to study Medicare and Medicaid audit programs.
In a letter to GAO Comptroller Gene L. Dodaro, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), asked the GAO to investigate coordination among contractors and efficiency within the program. A recent GAO report found that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services spent $102 million on Medicaid audit programs that only recovered $20 million in overpayments.
"In order for this contractor oversight to be at once effective at detecting improper payments and not unnecessarily burdensome to providers, it must be undertaken subject to a coherent strategic plan, consistent standards and active coordination," the letter states.
There are several antifraud contractors within Medicare and Medicaid, including Recovery Audit Contractors, Zone Program Integrity Contractors, and Medicare Administrative Contractors.

Halloween is all about theatrics and what kind of journalist doesn't enjoy a solid drama?
The past few weeks have largely been a matter of political theater when it comes to covering my beat. Neverending meetings, neverending FOIA requests, and changes on top of changes back at homebase.
In the course of a single week, the newsroom switched to a new print layout to match a new publishing software, and for good measure, hunks of plastic vaguely operating some form of Windows were swapped for brand new, full-functioning computers (to be clear, I'm not complaining about the last bit at all and do not miss my old Dell, at all).
And so, I gave my desk and filing cabinets a simultaneous update in the hopes it would give my brain a fresh new coat of perspective paint as well.
Ever feel stuck in a journalistic rut? When the more ambitious stories you hoped to get off the ground just seem to lag longer than anticipated and they begin gathering dust?
It's too easy to get discouraged by projects that don't come along the way you'd hoped. And then there are the projects that just seem to completely stall or come to a dead end.
One of my biggest difficulties in the past, and most likely for the rest of my life, has been figuring out when to let go. I'd like to account this do-or-die attitude to the optimistic streak in me, but something tells me it stems more from stubbornness and unwillingness to fail more than anything else.
But I know everything has an expiration date affixed to it and that some stories are just beyond resuscitation.
I haven't quite found my rhythm just yet, or figured out when to let go, but I do know one thing for sure–I, for one, prefer my stories dust free.

Creamy white chocolate and coconut panna cotta, topped with berry compote and toasted shredded coconut.
Recipe for White Chocolate & Coconut Panna Cotta by Anisa Sabet for The Macadames.
I have been trying to share more healthy recipes on the blog, more of what I eat at home, but my head has been into decadent brunch mode (hello Churros Waffles!). Today's recipe, although not one for brunch (I wouldn't judge), it certainly isn't on the healthy either. Recently I was asked to make a white chocolate / coconut panna cotta for my best friend's fiancee for his birthday and it turned out so well, I just had to share. I love the combination of white chocolate and coconut – it's a match made in heaven.
I've made loads of panna cottas for the blog (milk chocolate + espresso, frangelico, vegan passionfruit) but it's simply one of the tastiest and easiest desserts to make, especially for large groups or when entertaining. You can make it the night before and just plate + serve.
The secret ingredient in this recipe is the addition of greek yoghurt to the cream mixture, I love the fluffiness and slight tang it gives. Overall this dessert was a real winner and will be on rotation for entertaining in our household. I hope you enjoy this recipe and i'd love to know what you think.
Don't forget to hashtag #cookwiththemacadames when making my recipes. I love to see how you went and get a peek at your kitchen table.
Recipe adapted from here.
Ingredients (makes 8):
For the panna cotta:
- 290g white chocolate
- 600ml pure cream
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 3 tablespoons boiling water
- 2 teaspoons gelatine
- 250g greek style yoghurt
For the berry compote:
- 200g frozen berries
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- Splash boiling water
To serve:
- Toasted shredded coconut with a pinch of sugar
1. To make the panna cottas: In a heavy based saucepan, mix the white chocolate, cream, sugar and coconut extract and heat until melted and smooth. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, pour the boiling water and sprinkle over the gelatine in an even layer. Using a whisk, mix until combined. Set aside for 10 minutes. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir through the yoghurt. Strain into your ramekins, cover with glad wrap and pop into the fridge to set overnight.
3. To make the berry compote: in a small saucepan, mix half the frozen berries, all the caster sugar and a splash of boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes until the berries soften and the mixture becomes a bit sticky. Take off the heat and add other half of the frozen berries, stir, cover and pop in the fridge to cool.
4. Serve the chilled panna cottas topped with berries and toasted coconut.
Storage: panna cottas will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Bon appétit!

What a Day! Would anyone have believed this before the World Cup started?
Today being St. Patrick's day, the Irish didn't need another reason to celebrate but their cricket team pulled out a stunner and defeated Pakistan causing them to crash out of the world cup and there is a pretty good chance India might be following them.
Every Indian cricket fan's worst nightmare has come true. India lost to Bangladesh in the first match of the cricket world cup. And I had the misfortune of watching it live (maybe buffering) on StreamBox. This online service has the CBN channel which has cricket on it. It is really bad and I probably saw about 20 mins real-time and the rest was just stop and go transmission.
Back to the match, India's much vaunted batting line-up crumbled and scored a pathetic total of 191. Bangladesh never looked in trouble chasing the score and they were helped by some really indifferent Indian bowling and fielding. This doesn't look like a team which is here to win anything, they almost gave up before it even started. There was no enthusiasm at all. Now they have been put into a situation where they need to win all their remaining group matches against Bermuda(they must be fancing their chances now) and against the in-form Sri Lanka.
There is a real chance of India bowing out of the World Cup before the Super-8. What a disaster that's going to be? I feel sorry for the people who had booked their tickets to the Caribbean expecting to watch the much hyped India-Pakistan match on April-15. That's not going to happen now. A Bangladesh-Ireland match looks more likely now.
India have dug themselves into a big hole and they don't have anybody to blame but themselves. It's going to take a minor miracle for them to dig out of this hole. Or else be prepared to see people burning effigies of Indian cricketers on the road.
I just hope that nothing of this sort happens and they make into the Super-8 and to the semi-finals.
