"He is the best thing that ever happened to me, and it all started with one click on ChristianMingle. We let God write our love story, and He penned a beautiful tale of a boy and a girl miles apart, meant to be together."
Chris and I were both members of ChristianMingle, and for whatever reason we just weren't clicking with the people in our areas. However, on June 22, 2014, our lives changed forever. I remember it vividly: I was curled up on my couch and poking around ChristianMingle. Out of curiosity, I decided to put "Any" in the distance search and started browsing through profiles that ranged from Rhode Island to California. And then I saw Chris's picture. I remember thinking "This guy is cute," so I clicked on his profile. After reading his introduction, I knew he seemed solid in his Walk with the Lord, which is the #1 thing I was looking for in a man.
Twenty minutes later, I had a notification that he had emailed me! I was a little surprised but then I thought, "It's no big deal. I'll email him back — he's in Missouri so I know nothing is going to come of this." Boy was I wrong (and thankfully so!). Chris and I hit it off immediately.
Chris is my perfect complement. He's strong when I'm weak, funny when I need to laugh, and the calm to my crazy. I could not have hand-picked someone better for me. My best friend even says it's like God created him with a sign that says "For Laura." I'm so thankful Chris and I stayed faithful to the Lord and that He brought us together on ChristianMingle. As a quote from our favorite song says, "Love don't know what distance is," and I have never found this to be truer.

Arrival on the vessel EVELIJA
Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Arrival on the vessel EVELIJA
This information is on Declaration of Intention papers for Domenico Barilla: Arrived at the port of New York in the State of New York on the 22nd day of March 1903. Emigrated to the United States from Masena (Messina, Sicily) on the vessel Evelija.
I have searched the Ellis Island site but can not find that port or ship.
Is the spelling correct? Any suggestions?
Thank you....Claudia

If you cannot find it then perhaps he came in thru another port. Go to www.genealogylookups.com/narchives.htm and file form 81 for all usa entries. Peter
none that I am aware of but there is a listing for ships arriving in the USA in 1903. But why don't you request information from email@example.com for Bostgon arrival records and furnish them with his name, birthdate, year of arrival, village of origin amd where he settled in the USA. They will e-mail you back if they find a record to match your information and it will cost about $10.00 if they come up with infomration if he came in thru Boston. Send an e-mail and see what they say. Peter

Jon Bon Jovi comes clean about Richie Sambora on 'Ellen'
Listen to Bon Jovi on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Guitarist Richie Sambora has been AWOL from Bon Jovi since April 3, when he left the band's tour surrounded by mystery. A lone tweet attempted to explain his absence.
Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm well, but had to stay in LA to take care of a personal matter.Love you all and see you very soon.— Richie Sambora (@TheRealSambora) April 3, 2013
Since then, Richie has checked in with two other tweets.
I hope that everyone is healing from that severe act of cowardness in Boston.. My heart goes out....— Richie Sambora (@TheRealSambora) April 16, 2013
Hey everybody... Just want you all to know I'm all good... Thanks for all the positive vibes....— Richie Sambora (@TheRealSambora) April 19, 2013
But other than that, there's been little talk about the reasons for Richie's departure and if - and when - he'll return to the fold.
The band's leader and namesake Jon Bon Jovi addressed the situation Monday during an appearance on Ellen. The good news for longtime fans is that Jon says Richie is still in the band. The bad - there's been no talk about when Sambora might rejoin his band mates.
During the interview, Ellen asked JBJ how the band has managed to stay together for three decades. "We like each other," Jon replied. "I think that was really the key. We all have a lot of give and take. You had to love each other, you had to go through some ups and downs, but in the big picture, you had to really like each other so you go to work."
Of course, that left the door wide open for Ellen to ask about Richie's absence, which Jon addressed, but didn't give any specifics about his partner's hiatus. "Well, all I can say honest to God is that it's a personal matter, but we love him very much. He's absolutely still a member of the band."
Just to clarify, Ellen asked, "He's still your guitar player?" Jon replied, "Absolutely."

Kandi Burruss is speaking up about her mother's bad behavior on her wedding day.
According to the singer, her mom's bad attitude put a cloud over her special day when she walked down the aisle with Todd Tucker.
The evidence is in the photos, where Mama Joyce can be seem with a forced smile in almost every shot.
"I didn't realize those pictures were going to get out," she said on "The View." "She did that in almost every picture!"
According to Kandi, her mother's feelings were obvious even though she held her tongue.
"I didn't think that she was going to say anything, but I wanted her attitude to get better. She kind of put a damper on my mood," she said.
"In the days leading up to the wedding, there were a lot of moments where I was like, 'Uh oh,' I didn't know."
She also admitted there was some major tension between Joyce and Todd's mother.
"There were moments where my mom was still coming at you crazy and there were moments where his mom and my mom were bumping heads," she said.

With 80 percent of families choosing cremation of their loved ones over burial, land prices skyrocketing, and a trend toward full-service mortuaries at cemeteries, funeral directors said they are shrinking their facilities while trying to offer personalized services to survive the times.
Family-owned Roller & Hapgood & Tinney was the city's first funeral home. It had been located at 980 Middlefield Road since 1951. Retired cabinet maker Josiah Roller started the firm in 1899 after years of crafting coffins. He agreed to make the funeral arrangements for a friend whose relative had died in exchange for help establishing the Palo Alto funeral home. Frank Hapgood joined as partner in 1912, and Roller & Hapgood acquired local funeral home Tinney & Sons in 1976.
Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer bought the property on Oct. 7 for an undisclosed sum, said Jim Spangler, president of Mountain View-based Spangler Mortuaries, which purchased some of Roller's business assets.
In a press release, mortuary owner Paul Roller commented on the sale: "The property value in Palo Alto is so great it can no longer justify use as a funeral home."
John O'Connor, funeral director of Menlo Park Funerals, has known the Roller family for many years.
Roller & Hapgood faced pressure to stay relevant in today's funeral market, and ultimately, it made more sense to sell the property for millions, he said — "which they did."
But the high cost of Palo Alto and Menlo Park land is only part of the reason for Roller & Hapgood's demise, he said. People are changing how they are being buried and where they have services, he said.
O'Connor has been a licensed funeral director for 50 years and a funeral director in Menlo Park for nearly 25 years. He once had a 7,000-square-foot facility near downtown Menlo Park. In the early 1980s, cremations constituted 20 percent of his business, but they jumped to 50 percent within 10 years, he said.
"We were no longer doing two to three funerals a night with services in two to three chapels, so we downsized to 3,000 square feet," he said.
When cremation rates again rose he retired and sold the business, he said. O'Connor took an extended trip around the world for eight years. He returned to the business in 2010 after people complained of the void in Menlo Park.
Now, cremations constitute 80 percent, he said.
"Funeral directors ask me, 'John, what the hell is going on in California?' I don't have an answer," he said, noting that in other parts of the country, the cremation rate is 20 percent, he said.
Most people in Palo Alto and Menlo Park can afford a traditional funeral, so O'Connor doesn't think the change is due to money. But the difference in costs might be enticing. A cemetery plot costs $10,000; the price tag for scattering ashes by air or sea is $500. O'Connor charges $2,000 for a cremation. A traditional funeral, according to AARP, is $7,000, he noted.
"The difference is $17,000 against $2,500. It's a vast difference," he said.
The Roman Catholic Church is also affecting traditional funeral homes by getting into the funeral business, he said.
"Catholic churches in some states have funeral homes in their cemeteries," he said.
Catholic churches are also building wall niches in new churches to accommodate parishioners' cremated remains, he said.
Jim Spangler, president of Mountain View-based Spangler Mortuaries, moved into O'Connor's 7,000-square-foot Menlo Park space after O'Connor downsized. In 2009, when Spangler's rent tripled, he closed the funeral home. Now his staff meets with families at their homes to make arrangements, and the firm works collaboratively with some local churches.
O'Connor's business model has also dramatically changed since returning to funeral directing. He works from a 500-square-foot office on Chestnut Street, and he answers his cell phone at any time of the day or night.
Marilyn Talbot, general manager at Palo Alto's Alta Mesa Memorial Park, which includes the city's sole remaining mortuary, said the full-service funeral home was added in 2010, including a chapel and reception area where people can order or bring catered food.
"The trend is that people want to go to one place instead of a lot of different places," she said.
People also expect and want technology to play a role in funerals, Talbot said. Alta Mesa offers tribute videos, memorial websites and live funeral webcasting. Since many family members live out of the country and can't attend a funeral, Alta Mesa's chapel has a huge drop-down screen so all parties can see each other.
"People have live-streamed services all over the world," she said.
As for Roller & Hapgood & Tinney, Spangler said, families can continue to use the firm's phone number or visit its website. Persons wanting to view family funeral records and consult on pre-arrangements made with Roller & Hapgood can contact Spangler at 650-967-5546. Spangler has offices in Los Altos, Mountain View and Sunnyvale.

GSA Consolidates Real Estate Rules
January 31, 2001
Contacts: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Malcolm Saldanha (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- For the first time in 29 years, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has consolidated federal real property regulations in one rule, published Jan. 18 in the Federal Register (66 FR 5358).
"The new, consolidated rule, will save time, not only because it is in one place, but also because it is easier to read and understand," said Stanley Langfeld, Director of GSA's Real Property Policy Division, who led the effort. "As the government becomes more complex, we must be vigilant in our efforts to keep rules simple. We are here to serve, not challenge employees, contractors, clients and the public. That's why we wrote it in the easily understood question-and-answer style used in the private sector."
The new rule will be a boon to GSA's tenants, said Assistant Commissioner Paul Lynch, who heads the agency's Office of Business Performance.
"We want our tenants to be able to work with GSA in a business-friendly environment," Lynch said. "The new rule gives our tenants what they need to know, removing extraneous information and enabling them to spend their time on their agencies' missions."
The rule is available at the Federal Register website: http://www.nara.gov/fedreg. It will also be available at the Government Printing Office.

On the 22nd of March 2013 between 1800hrs and 1900hrs, in the general area of Gache Gache in Mudzimu Village (Nyaminyami RDC), a male person identified as Lawrence Mafunda was attacked and killed by an elephant whilst chasing it from his maize field.
Investigations reveal that, the deceased together with his friend attempted to chase the elephant from the field with stones which frustrated the elephant. When they ran out of the stones, the deceased, Lawrence Mafunda asked his friend to go and fetch for some more stones but the elephant got angrier and turned towards Mafunda and attacked him with its tusks on his stomach, living all the intestines out. Mafunda died on the spot.
Efforts were made to track down the elephant by the scouts from the Nyaminyami RDC and fortunately the single tusked adult male elephant was tracked and killed early morning on the 23rd of March 2013.
Meanwhile Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has since intensified awareness campaign programmes in the Gache Gache Area to warn the community against provoking animals.

NAACP hosts town hall meeting to discuss racial profiling
The NAACP held a town hall meeting in downtown Charleston Thursday night to discuss the racial profiling evident in a recent ACLU report. The ACLU report states that in South Carolina, African Americans are 2.8 times more likely to face a marijuana charge than a white person, despite similar usage numbers.
The meeting was contentious at times as citizens and NAACP board members insist racial profiling very much exists. "While we know that it may not be intentional, it may not have been pre-planned, it may not even be condoned, racial profiling happens, and it happens far too often in our community," said Dot Scott, President of the Charleston chapter of the NAACP.
However, law enforcement on hand said while bias is a part of human nature, racial profiling is not allowed in the department. Chief Greg Mullen of Charleston Police Department stressed, "We are not targeting any specific race for possession charges. We are not targeting any specific community for marijuana possession charges."
Sheriff Al Cannon of Charleston County also in attendance. Sheriff Cannon agreed with Chief Mullen, but admits the numbers in the report look bad. "This has us looking at what we do, it has us looking at how we train, it has us looking at how we monitor."
Both Sheriff Cannon and Chief Mullen detailed their hiring and vetting processes of potential law enforcement. They also stressed that any citizens with issues need to report the officer in question, so that they can look into the matter.
Over a dozen citizens spoke out at the meeting. Cheryl Jones taking the time to address the many problems she has encountered in her West Ashley neighborhood. "Racial profiling does exist. and I don't like when people who are not like me, say it doesn't exist."
Jones also went on to ask the most important question, "How can we fix this? What is the next step? What can we do as citizens and officers? How are we going to come together and end the racial profiling and stop the stereotyping of neighborhoods?"

WASHINGTON, DC: Shelby Quast, 202-841-5630, email@example.com
Equality Now concerned that governments are lauded while victims languish
New York, NY – This past Tuesday, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton officially released the 2012 TIP report, stating at the ceremony, "Many governments have rallied around what we call the three P's of fighting modern slavery: prevention, prosecution, and protection. And this report…gives a clear and honest assessment of where all of us are making progress on our commitments and where we are either standing still or even sliding backwards." This annual report, self described as the world's most comprehensive resource of anti-human trafficking efforts and mandated by the 2000 Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), professes to reflect the "U.S. Government's commitment to global leadership on this key human rights and law enforcement issue." However, while Equality Now applauds the report's comprehensive approach to victim support and protection, several conspicuous omissions and backsliding on the issue of prevention are concerning, including:
- Though increasing numbers of trafficking survivors testify to being sold to traffickers and pimps through online advertisement sites to "buyers" who can "order" sex with the same ease as buying furniture, the report does not adequately address the rising trend of online facilitation of sex trafficking, e.g. Equality Now's Action re: Village Voice Media's Backpage.com.
- The failure to mention that the U.S. has not reauthorized the federal anti-trafficking law -- the TVPA --which lapsed at the end of 2011. Instead the U.S. Congress has been wrangling over which agency should monitor financing for victim assistance as part of partisan fighting over health insurance and reproductive health.
- Despite a growing international consensus on the need to focus on the demand that fuels trafficking to effectively prevent it, the report appears to step back from last year's progressive focus on combating demand. In contrast, the European Union Strategy on this issue, which was also released Tuesday, identified reducing demand as one of its key priorities. Ironically, many of the women and girls featured in the TIP report themselves express harrowing details of abuse driven by the demand for commercial sexual.
"While we welcome the report's critical focus on putting the needs of victims and survivors at the center of anti-trafficking efforts, we are concerned about the disconnect between certain countries' high rankings, particularly on efforts to reduce demand, and what we're hearing from our partners on the ground," stated Yasmeen Hassan, Global Director of Equality Now.

Wests Tigers have lured former Manly NRL chief executive Grant Mayer back from the AFL.
Mayer has returned to rugby league from three years with fledgling AFL team Greater Western Sydney to be the Tigers' general manager of commercial operations.
He has a history with Wests Tigers' new coach Mick Potter, with the pair working together briefly at French rugby league club Catalan Dragons back in 2006.
The NRL club has yet to make clear if former coach Tim Sheens will have ongoing role.
Mayer worked in events and operations at Canterbury for six years before a three-year stint as Manly boss which ended in 2009.
Wests Tigers Chief Executive Stephen Humphreys said the club was impressed by Mayer's credentials.
"Grant has a wealth of management and commercial experience across differing sporting organisations," Humphreys said.
"The sporting landscape, particularly in Sydney, is extremely competitive for clubs like Wests Tigers and I have no doubt we will benefit greatly from having someone with Grant's knowledge and expertise."

Plan ahead
Photo 1: Draw a scale plan
Draw a scale plan (1 ft. equals 1/2 in.) of your kitchen on graph paper and add the border. Draw a grid of1/2-in. squares on tracing paper. Shift the tracing paper around on top of the plan to see how varying the layout affects the width of the partial tiles along the border.
At first glance, this floor might not look like it's made of the same type of vinyl tile that you may remember from your parents' rec room. But like bell-bottoms and miniskirts, vinyl tile is back. It's inexpensive, virtually indestructible and easier to install than most other flooring materials. The best part is the infinite number of designs you can create once you learn a few special techniques. In this article, we'll go beyond basic floor laying to show you how to plan and install a decorative border and how to insert custom shapes into the floor tile. If you're good at measuring and are comfortable using a utility knife, you'll have no problem installing a basic vinyl composition tile (VCT) floor. Our design incorporates circles, but cutting and installing the circles isn't for everybody. It requires patience, attention to detail and a strong, steady hand. Expect to spend about a day preparing the floor, then a few more days laying the tile, especially if you're installing a floor like ours with borders and custom-cut decorative tiles. You can install a simpler floor without a border or custom tile using the techniques we'll show you and be done in about a day.
Don't settle for what's on the shelf—special-order the colors you want The vinyl composition tile we're using costs about 60¢to 90¢ per square foot. The most common size is 12 in. square and 1/8 in. thick. Although it's relatively easy to cut with nothing more than a straightedge and sharp utility knife, we'll be using a special VCT cutter for speed and precision. You'll find a few basic colors of VCT in stock and can special-order others. Unlike other modern flooring material, VCT does have to be polished to maintain a shine.
A scale plan makes custom floor design easy Before you start shopping for tile, measure the room and draw a scale plan on 1/4-in. graph paper (Photo 1). Your goal is to make the cut tiles along the border (or wall if you won't be installing a border) as large as possible. If you get stuck with skinny tiles, place them along an inconspicuous wall. When you find an arrangement you like, transfer the floor plan from the graph paper to a tracing paper grid and make a few photocopies. Now use colored pencils to experiment with different color combinations. After you complete the floor plan, count the number of tiles. Order your tile, adding 15 percent for waste. You'll probably have to order full cartons (about 45 sq. ft. per carton) of each color. Expect to wait a week or two for the tile to arrive. In addition to tile, you'll need latex adhesive specifically for VCT; check the label to be sure. This light-colored adhesive spreads easily, has no dangerous solvent fumes and cleans up with water while it's wet. One gallon covers about 200 sq. ft. and costs $15 to $20.You'll also need transition strips at doorways and openings into other rooms and wood base shoe molding to cover the edge of the tile along walls and cabinets.
Careful floor prep is the key to a smooth floor
Photo 3: Install underlayment
Fasten a layer of 1/4-in. plywood underlayment to the old floor with 7/8-in. narrow crown staples using a rented pneumatic stapler. Place staples 4 in. apart in the center of the sheet and 2 in. apart along seams and edges. Stagger the seams, laying full sheets if possible.
Even these 1/8-in. thick vinyl tiles won't cover up bumpy floors. Concrete must be structurally sound and dry with no large cracks or uneven sections. Scrape or chip off bumps and fill low spots with floor-leveling compound. A layer of underlayment (lauan or other special plywood, $12 to $20 per 4 x 8-ft. sheet) should be installed over wood floors to create a smooth, clean surface for the tile. Underlayment is available at home centers and lumberyards.
Remove base shoe moldings, door thresholds and metal carpet strips, then undercut the door casings (Photo 2). Allow the underlayment to acclimate to the humidity in your house for a day or two. Then cut it and staple it down (Photo 3). You'll need about 16 staples per square foot, so rent a compressor and a pneumatic stapler that drives narrow crown (1/4- or 3/16-in.) x7/8-in. long staples for large floors (Photo 3). Again, a smooth, clean surface is essential. Level uneven seams in the underlayment by filling the low side with floor filler (available at home centers and flooring retailers).
Many old vinyl floors and the adhesive used to install them contain asbestos. Because asbestos can be hazardous when it's disturbed, it's better to cover old vinyl floors with a layer of underlayment than to tear them out.
Gluing down the tile
Photo 4: Loose-lay the tile
Loose-lay tile to check the size of cut pieces. Snap a chalk line across the center of the room, parallel to the most prominent wall and aligned with the edge of a tile. Use the 3-4- 5 triangle method shown to snap a line perpendicular to the first, also aligned with the edge of a tile. Darken the lines with a straightedge and pencil.
The glue we use allows hours of working time With the layout lines marked in pencil, you're ready to roll. Sweep the floor carefully; even a tiny chunk of dirt will eventually show through the tile. Then pour a mound of adhesive on the floor and spread it (Photo 6), starting at the farthest corner and working up to the lines. Keep a wet rag handy for wiping your hands and cleaning up excess glue. Dried glue can only be removed with mineral spirits or special adhesive remover.
Once the adhesive dries and turns clear, you'll have at least six hours to lay tile—plenty of time to finish tiling the first half of your floor, including the cutting.
The special VCT cutter simplifies the piecework You'll be able to see the layout lines through the dried adhesive. Place tiles carefully, because after they're pressed into the adhesive, they're very difficult to remove or reposition. Using the stair-step technique (Photo 7) will help you keep the tile edges precisely aligned and tightly butted together. Refer to your plan for placement of special decorative tiles—in our case, circles. You'll notice a "grain" pattern in the tile. Some installers turn every other tile 90 degrees for a checkerboard effect. We chose to keep the grain running in the same direction. To see which look you prefer, experiment by loose-laying some tile on a dry floor. Lay all of the full tile. Then measure and cut the partial tiles needed to fill out to the border line. You may have to notch a tile for an inside or outside corner or to cut around a cabinet. Photo 8 shows how. Rent a VCT cutter ($13 per day) to ensure precise, clean cuts (Photo 9). If your rental store doesn't have a VCT cutter, you can cut tile on a table saw fitted with a sharp carbide finish blade (wear a dust mask, safety glasses and hearing protection). Another option is to score along a straightedge with a sharp utility knife and break the tile along the scored line. Clean up rough edges with a file or 60-grit sandpaper.
Complete the field tile, then lay the border. Don't worry if the joints between the border tiles don't line up with the joints in the field tile. Start by laying full tiles at the corners. Then cut the last tile in each section to fit (Photo 10). If by bad luck the last tile is going to be less than 1 in. wide, cut an inch off the previous tile to make the last one larger. Complete the floor by filling in the tiles between the black border and the wall (Photo 10). Cut these tiles so the joints align with those of the border tile. You'll end up with a nice-looking square tile at inside corners, but you might have to notch a tile to go around an outside corner.
Keep your hand and fingers out of the path of the utility knife, and wear heavy leather gloves for protection.
Create your own custom tiles
Photo 12: Prepare tile for cutting circles
Draw a circle on the face of a tile with a compass. (Use a few layers of masking tape to protect the tile at the pivot point; see Photo 13). Heat the tile from the backside with a heat gun set on "high." Keep the tile moving over the heat source until it's flexible (about 60 seconds). Wear leather gloves to protect your hands from burns.
Photo 13: Cut a circle from the hot tile
Cut a circle from the hot tile by deeply scoring the line with a utility knife. BEND the tile (reheat if necessary) and peel the cutout shape from the surrounding tile. Smooth the rough edge of the circle with 60-grit sandpaper, beveling it slightly to the back side.
Photo 14: Use the circle as a pattern
Use the cutout circle as a pattern to cut a hole in the second tile. Hold the circle tight to the second tile and accurately score a line around the perimeter with a utility knife. Heat the tile and deepen the scored line with the utility knife. Reheat the tile if necessary and flex it to remove the cutout section. Smooth any ragged edges with a utility knife and press the first circle into the hole.
Photos 12 - 14 show how to create custom tiles. But don't expect perfect results without a little practice. You don't have to make circles. Use the same procedure to make any shape you can imagine.
Buy special accessories to simplify transitions
There are many ways to make transitions to other types of flooring. But the best way is to use special reducers designed for each situation. Photo 11 shows a professional method for finishing a raw carpet edge. Ask your flooring retailer to recommend transition pieces for your floor.
Routine cleaning and care will help your floor last decades
Clean excess glue from the face of tiles with a damp rag or mineral spirits. Then rent a 100-lb. floor roller ($13 a day) and roll the floor to ensure a tight bond between the tile and adhesive. Reinstall your old base shoe moldings or cut and install new ones.
Allow four or five days for the adhesive to fully cure before washing and sealing the floor. To prepare it for sealing, sweep the floor and clean it with a mild neutral detergent like Armstrong S-485 Floor Cleaner. Use a non-abrasive scrub pad to remove stubborn marks. Allow the floor to dry before applying several coats of high-quality acrylic floor polish or sealer.

The Enquirer is reporting that Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are fighting over their wedding plans because he won't sign a pre-nup. Over the weekend they looked pretty cozy going to dinner and there does not seem to be any outward signs of trouble, but they do bring up a few good points. They say she is tired of him not working. I don't think she minds footing the bill for everything, but don't you think that he would want to do some kind of work? Does he just want to always be known as the unemployed guy? He was on his way to getting an MBA before he hooked up with Jessica but his ambition seems to have gone out the window since then. The story says that he wanted to open a vegan restaurant but has never moved beyond the talking about it stage.
The pre-nup is a big thing. Jessica is worth a ton of money and her family is going to want her to sign one. How much money could he really want though? Even if he wanted $10M if they get divorced, that would set him up for life and would be a drop in the bucket to Jessica. If he refuses to sign a pre-nup then I guess they will stay boyfriend and girlfriend forever.

Development guidelines
darcs guidelines
Metadata of darcs patches isn't versioned. Therefore, please try to make it nice. Wolfgang Jeltsch, the prinicipal Grapefruit developer, has some opinions about patch niceness. He would love to see you adhering to them. So please be so kind and follow these rules:
Let patch names be names:
Please avoid patch names like "fix documentation" or "fixed documentation". A darcs patch is a change and its name should describe that change. So you should say something like "fixing of documentation" or "documentation fix" instead. Always think about what the change is. It's the fixing of documentation or a documentation fix, for example.
Use non-ASCII:
Please avoid ASCII characters that have multiple meanings. Instead use the correct non-ASCII character. Write "as is" instead of "as is", I'm instead of I'm, buttons, labels, … instead of buttons, labels, ....
Use UTF-8:
Alas, darcs patch names and long comments are byte sequences, not character sequences. Depending on your locale, the same patch name or long comment might result in different text. So we must choose a common character encoding for patch names and long comments. This is UTF-8.

So did anyone catch the rich irony of Utah's Republican state chairman blaming a Republican congressional candidate's loss on voter-suppression tactics by Democrats?
Given all the controversial attempts in Republican-controlled states to make it more difficult to vote, especially for demographic groups that lean Democrat, Chairman Thomas Wright's complaints about the actions of the Democrat-led Salt Lake County Clerk's office were interesting.
After all, it was a banner election year for Republicans in Utah, no doubt.
The Democrats, already irrelevant with their paltry numbers in the Utah Legislature, dropped from 19 to 14 members in the House, and from seven to five in the Senate. That is the lowest Democratic representation in the Utah Legislature since the Reagan tsunami swept through the Western states in the 1980s, leaving the Democratic Party in many of those states close to extinction.
The Democratic losses were partially due to the gerrymandering shenanigans of the Republicans in 2011, but they also were a result of having a Republican presidential candidate who shares his Mormon religion with about two-thirds of the Utah population and is seen largely as a favorite son.
The Republicans also held on to both of Utah's U.S. Senate seats and three of the four seats in the House. They have the governor and all the other statewide elected offices in the state, with none of those races ever in doubt, and have such a grip on the political landscape that only Salt Lake County offers any semblance of competition between the two parties.
Wright should be smiling. But he seemed quite bitter Tuesday after the final tally of votes left Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson with a 768-vote victory over well-funded and nationally recognized newcomer Mia Love in the new 4th Congressional District.
Wright suggested after the results were announced that there might have been cheating going on in the Salt Lake County Clerk's office. "We still don't know why a lot of absentee ballots were disqualified," he said. "We want to understand the process so we make sure every single vote is counted."
Those comments stunned County Clerk Sherrie Swensen. She pointed out there were Republican poll watchers throughout the process and they didn't complain at the time when ballots, for valid reasons, were disqualified.
But Wright was nonplussed.
Perhaps he was frustrated because of all the resources the party poured into the Love race, which Republicans felt was their best chance ever to knock off the 12-year incumbent who represents the only stain on their otherwise pure-Republican mantelpiece in Washington.
Perhaps it was the disappointment of losing once again to Matheson after the party so meticulously created four congressional districts that were heavily tilted in favor of Republicans.
Or, maybe it was deja vu.
The Republicans enjoyed a similar landslide victory in Utah in 1980 with the Reagan Revolution. They overwhelmingly took control of the Legislature, won all the federal races that year and just about every other contest.
Except one. And the one that got away went to a guy named Matheson.
Gov. Scott Matheson, the congressman's father, was running for a second term and, while he enjoyed a pretty healthy popularity, his re-election was in doubt because the stars were aligned for Republicans in much the same way they were this year.
But Scott Matheson, despite running against an impressive Republican opponent with a glorious resume in an uncommonly strong Republican year, eked out the victory and was the lone Democrat on the victory podium.
That impressive opponent? The one who many thought would end the Democrats' 16-year occupation of the governor's office that year?
His name was Robert Wright, the father of current GOP State Chairman Thomas Wright.

Wilson was president throughout World War I. He attempted to keep America out of the war and even won reelection with the slogan "He kept us out of war." Nonetheless, after the sinking of the Lusitania, continued run-ins with German submarines, and the release of the Zimmerman Telegram, America became involved. with the Lusitania, the continued harassment of American ships by German submarines, and the release of the Zimmerman Telegram meant that America joined the allies in April, 1917.
Woodrow Wilson was President when the 19th amendment was ratified in 1920 giving women the right to vote.
Wilson piloted the ship that brought America onto the world stage. He made the first steps of leading us out of isolationism, violating Washington's tenet of avoiding foreign entanglements.
He led America during World War I. His fervent hope was for the US to join a League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations.
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting."
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "The Constitution was not made to fit us like a straitjacket. In its elasticity lies its chief greatness."
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "I believe in democracy because it releases the energies of every human being."
The Seventeenth Amendment was formally adopted on May 31, 1913. Wilson had been president for almost three months at the time. The amendment provided for the direct election of senators. Prior to its adoption, Senators were chosen by state legislatures.
Wilson was the first president to receive a PhD which he got in Political Science from Johns Hopkins University. He had received his undergraduate degree from the College of New Jersey, renamed Princeton University in 1896.
Woodrow Wilson could not read during the first decade of his life. Though undiagnosed, he may have suffered from a learning disability
Woodrow Wilson was known as "Tommy" until his college years.
Woodrow Wilson during his boyhood, helped establish the "Lightfoot Baseball Club" with his friends. Wilson played second base and was an avid sport fan throughout his adult life.
Woodrow Wilson was the first president to attend the Major League Baseball Fall Classic. He saw the debut of a young 20 year old pitcher by the name of George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
Woodrow Wilson was a graduate of Princeton University and Johns Hopkins University and the only president to hold an earned doctoral degree.

Officials: Young People Are Signing Up for Covered California
The state's health insurance exchange continues to gain momentum. More than 70,000 people signed up just last week.
At Covered California's monthly meeting Thursday, executive director Peter Lee told the board that the state's health insurance exchange continues to see significant growth.
"We are having over 10,000 Californians a day being determined eligible for coverage that's going to take effect Jan. 1," Lee said.
But even more imprortantly:
"Young people, 18- to 34-year-olds are enrolling for coverage at the same rate that they are in the population. That's very good news," Lee said.
That's because young people tend to have fewer health care needs -- their premiums help cover the cost of insuring the elderly. More than 100,000 people have signed up for coverage through the website since it went online Oct. 1.

These scenes and situations, striking as they are, become commonplace compared with Count Dracula's goings on in London. As Falstaff was not only witty himself but the cause of wit in other people, so a vampire, it seems, compels those it has bitten (two little marks on the throat are its token, usually taken by faculty for the scratches of a broach) to become after death vampires also. Nothing can keep them away but garlic, which is, perhaps, why that comestible is so popular in certain countries. One may imagine, therefore,how the thing spread in London after the Count's arrival. The only chance of stopping it was to kill the Count before any of his victims died, and this was a difficult job, for though several centuries old, he was very young and strong, and could become a dog or a bat at pleasure. However, it is undertaken by four resolute and high-principled persons, and how it is managed forms the subject of the story, of which nobody can complain that it is deficient in dramatic situations. We would not however, recommend it to nervous persons for evening reading.

Conflict of Interest
Because of the potential for abuse, having a financial interest that conflicts with the role you have within UC Davis Health System is of concern, even if you have good intentions, never exploit the conflict, and do not harm anyone.
UC Davis employees are government employees. California has special conflict of interest laws and regulations affecting government employees. These laws include the Fair Political Practices Act, also known as the Political Reform Act of 1974. In addition, Federal law has special sections relating to health care conflicts of interest that result in more stringent standards than for most other businesses. This all adds up to a set of strict standards every one of us must follow.
As a matter of policy, UC Davis Health System discourages the existence of potential conflicts of interest. Such conflicts may make it difficult for an employee to discharge his or her work duties.

They also have a Web site dedicated to their guidance on gifts to physicians from industry, including educational programs with CME credit.
The NIH conflict of interest page includes links to many web resources and a report on the strengths and weaknesses of institutional policies.

Because the Mount is a liberal arts college, we want our
students to receive an education that will prepare them to be
critical thinkers with a lifelong love of wisdom. Courses in
Philosophy and Religious Studies help the students to achieve these
important goals.
Although there is no major in Philosophy, the broad range of
electives should fill the needs of the inquiring student. Insights
and theories formulated by major philosophers of the Western and
Eastern intellectual traditions are examined and the basic skills
of philosophical thought are mastered. It is the aim of the
division to communicate the values intrinsic to, and arising from,
the "examined life."
The Religious Studies curriculum provides an opportunity for a
multi-faceted reflection on the religious dimension of the human
experience, utilizing the traditions associated with the Dominican
Order. These traditions include the use of disputatio (respectful
dialogue) and acquisition of the perspectives necessary for the
search for veritas (truth) in all disciplines. The Religious
Studies program affords students the opportunity to pursue studies
in either Religious Studies or Biblical Studies, leading, if the
student desires, to a minor in either one of these areas.
The Mount offers courses in the Old and New Testaments, world
religions, contemporary moral problems, and marriage/family issues,
among others.

Daily Nouakchott, daily published in French in Mauritania and published in both French and Arabic on the Internet, devoted a place to an interview with Mr. Adnan Oktar on October 25th, 2010. The interview was published on the day that a senior-level meeting about counter terrorism was being held in the country and was presented to the readers as such:
Harun Yahya is the author of 300 books. Many internet sites have been devoted to his works that are translated to more than 50 languages and are being read throughout the world. His books called "The Atlas of Creation," "The Collapse of Darwinism," "Union of Islam," "The Day of Judgment," "Awaited Mahdi," and "People of the Book in the Qur'an" and his sincere and friendly approach towards Christians and Jews awaken very much admiration and respect. At a time when our country holds a national meeting about terrorism and extremenesses, Daily Nouakchott held this interview for you.
ADNAN OKTAR: ... All of those who apply terrorism in the name of Islam are people who went through Darwinist, materialist and atheistic training in Europe and they all have a materialistic vision.
... Some evangelicals have many false beliefs about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Messiah (pbuh). They believe that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Messiah (pbuh) will shed blood. So much that they say that it will rise up to the necks of the horses. They lay the ground for this because they believe that such a war is necessary due to their false beliefs. For instance, in the hadiths Afghanistan and Iraq are mentioned. They occupied these countries immediately because they believe that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will carry out his activities from there. But these are very false information. First, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will insha'Allah emerge from Istanbul. The subject about which they are especially wrong is that HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) WILL NEVER SHED BLOOD. On the contrary, he will spread the moral values of religion with love, compassion, mercy and the best words
... DARWIN IS NOT A MAN OF SCIENCE AND HIS THEORY IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC THEORY. He presented his theory by getting together pagan legends coming from ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and without supporting it with scientific evidences.

Tom with the Horse
The first time Tom and I took photos of horses was on Oahu. This was our second horse-encounter here in New Zealand! He got up close with his fisheye while I backed up with the 70-200 f/2.8 to get this shot.
I really like those mountains behind Tom. I want to get a shot of them this winter when they are all covered in snow!

Two Men In Custody After British Flight Disturbance
(London) -- Two men are in custody in the London area following a disturbance aboard a Pakistani airliner. Fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane to a nearby airport east of the city which specializes in counterterrorism operations. It was originally bound for Manchester. The two suspects are being charged with suspicion of endangering an aircraft. British officials do not believe the situation was terror related.

Worship & Arts Ministry
Worship the LORD with gladness, come before him with joyful songs.
Sunday Worship Times
9:00 am & 10:30 am
What is Worship?
"Worship" is a word most commonly used in the context of church, but it can be defined more broadly as the activity of rendering praise and adoration to someone or something that is worthy of it. As Christians we believe that the God of the Bible is the only One who is worthy of our worship, and that worshipping Him is what we were created to do. In Ps. 148 God invites all of creation to give Him praise because of who he is and what he has done. Our call to worship God is not out of obligation– it is the natural response of anyone who has heard and experienced his goodness. We believe that if you experience the good news of the gospel you will want to join the chorus. All are welcome!
Worship Services at CPC
Every Sunday we gather for corporate worship at 9/10:30am. We order our services so that each one communicates the arc of the story of redemption– creation, rebellion, redemption & restoration. As the body of Christ we participate in this grand narrative of redemption as we sing, pray, confess, give thanks, hear God's Word preached, celebrate the Lord's supper, and engage in a wide variety of practices that are Biblical and rooted in Christian tradition. Musically, we appreciate both ancient hymns and the modern anthems. We place a high value on the arts, both visual and musical, and we desire to worship in a way that is true to our context and artistic gifts as a church– letting the gifts of the congregation shape our worship as much as possible.
You can view our 10:30 am service live online. Go to Livestream.com/ChesPres and search for Chesterfield Presbyterian Church to stream our worship service.

What makes Ecco Bella products different?Ecco Bella was started out of protest to the testing on animals for cosmetics, and the mission expanded to creating products from the universe of organics and nutraceuticals as well. As an activist company, they source ingredients from ethical suppliers and stay away from ingredients that may cause harm to the environment. Besides speaking out for animals, and conserving the environment, Ecco Bella products conserve money. Every Ecco Bella skin care product is both anti-aging and anti-blemish.

Blush colors that contain carmine are Burgundy Rose and Orchid Rose. Lip Liner: Mauve. Beige and Medium Beige Cover-Up sticks contain beeswax. How are Ecco Bella products tested?Animal testing is unacceptable to Ecco Bella in any form because it is cruel and provides unreliable results. It is not required by law. Ecco Bella tests their products on themselves and they use ingredients that have been in use for years and are considered safe. Unfortunately, many ingredients have been tested on animals by the manufacturers years ago. Ecco Bella is unable to control the testing of ingredients, but they do oppose testing of any materials on animals and ask their suppliers not to test.

text: I work with basically all women at my job. They give me all of the heavy lifting and manual labor because I am a man. The manager actually said exactly that today. Am I the only one who sees a double standard here? If it was all men and one women and they made her clean because she is a woman a lawsuit would be filed in a split second. Luckily, I'm leaving this part-time job since I finally found a full-time gig but even though I'm leaving in a week, the principle still bothers me. Am I the only one who sees a double standard here? If I was a woman and they were men it would be a case of sexism, no?

VERNE'S VISION: "Madness!" howled the naysayers in 1872 when our hero Phileas Fogg proclaimed he could travel around the world in a mindboggling 80 days. In those days, travelers still moved at Marco Polo velocity.
Today, of course, thanks to modern space-age technology, we can get around the world in just a few short weeks by traveling at the speed of light, but back then? Madness, we tell you.
Jules Verne's 1872 romp, "Around the World in 80 Days" tells the whole madcap story, and this evening the International City Theater throws its opening night stage production of the saga, featuring a cast of five actors playing 39 characters traveling across seven continents on the Center Theater stage at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center.
Tickets for tonight's opening are $50. Otherwise, it's $45 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances and $38 for Thursday night shows. Thursday-Saturday curtains are at 8 p.m.; Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. It runs through Feb. 17. For tickets and info, call 562-438-4361, or go to www.internationalcitytheatre.org.
AQUABILITY: The Aquarium of the Pacific becomes ultra handi-capable with the 10th edition of its annual Festival of Human Abilities from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
You get wheelchair dancers, signing choirs, accessible scuba diving demonstrations, service dog demonstrations, the ARC Handbell Choir, blind and autistic musician Kodi Lee and a lot more.
Sign language interpreters will be at the regular aquarium shows, audio tours are available for the blind and assistance dog relief areas will be open.
It's all included in the general admission, which is $25.95; $14.95 for kids 3-11. Other pricing packages are available. Check www.aquariumofpacific.org.
OPEN DOG HOUSE: OK, and, we suppose, cats too, although if we called it Open Cat House people would get all disappointed when they find out what we're talking about is an Open House at Long Beach's Animal Care Services Bureau. We remember when it used to be called the Dog Pound. You'd want a dog, and Pop would say, "Let's just pick one up at the pound." Nowadays it's called "rescuing" a pet, which sounds all heroic and SWAT/SEALS-like.
Anyway, you can check out what's offered by the animal care shelter at the open house from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday at 7700 E. Spring St.
Visitors will be provided with a report card on the past year as well as an overview of new programs and technologies available to residents in 2013.
Refreshments, tours and comments from residents will be included.
Information on animal adoption, licensing, spay and neuter programs, and other animal care information will be also be available.
GET RID OF EVERYTHING YOU OWN: Seriously, you have too much stuff. Really?
You're holding on to that VCR? The one that doesn't even fast-forward anymore? And that refrigerator in the garage that you just keep Diet Tab and Gatorade in? And the 64K computer that is still perfectly good for writing letters with and you might generously donate to a school someday and take a thousand-dollar tax write-off?
What you do is you get you a truck and haul it all off to the Second District eWaste & Recycling Drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the parking lot at 335 E. Broadway.
They'll take a lot more than your basic electronic gizmos at this drive.
You can also bring "white waste" which includes things that are usually white and bulky and hard to dump: refrigerators, stoves, freezers, dishwashers. In fact, they'll even take regular bulky items that you used to dump behind the grocery store: sofas, mattresses, chairs.
This is a great way to get your spring cleaning done early and embark on your new life of simpler living.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: We're writing this on Thursday morning with nothing going on except it's raining outside and we have a somewhat unnatural fire blazing in the fireplace.
Platinum Club readers who follow us or, rather "friend" us, on Facebook, already know we are/were reduced on Thursday to using a Duraflame log, because we ran out of real firewood, so, yeah, morning's a little marred by that. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Here are some songs about fire and rain for you.
1. "Fire and Rain," James Taylor
4. "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" John Fogerty
5. "Fire," Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
6. "Box of Rain," Grateful Dead
8. "The Rain Song," Led Zeppelin
9. "Play With Fire," Rolling Stones
10. "Set Fire to the Rain," Adele

Legislation overview
The most important provisions governing discipline and grievances at work are to be found in:
- the Employment Act 2008 and
- the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) (Amendment) Regulations 2008.
As explained in the related Q&As, the Acas Code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures (Acas Code) is also of crucial importance. See the related Q&A What must an employer do to follow the Acas code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures?
Numerous other pieces of legislation cross refer to discipline and grievance issues. Some important examples include the:
- Employment Rights Act 1996 as amended
- Employment Rights Dispute Resolution Act 1998
- Employment Relations Act 1999
- Employment Rights Act 2004
- Code of Practice (Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures) Order 2015 (SI 2015/649).
Other crucial points to note on dispute resolution include the following:
- Employers and employees should do all that they can to resolve disciplinary and grievance issues themselves and should consider using a third party (for example a mediator or an arbitrator) to help resolve the problem, ending up in an employment tribunal as a very last resort. There is a requirement for Acas early conciliation in most cases.
- The rule laid down in the case of Polkey v. A. E. Dayton Services Ltd [1988] ICR 142, HL still applies to cases where a dismissal may be technically unfair on procedural grounds. In such cases if the correct procedures had been followed the dismissal may eventually have taken place anyway. In such cases the tribunal can reduce or eliminate the compensatory award to reflect the fact that the dismissal would have gone ahead anyway.
The Employment Act 2008 is not applicable to Northern Ireland. The nibusinessinfo.co.uk website provides a range of resources on disciplinary, grievance and dismissal procedures and the Labour Relations Agency website provides sample letters and flowcharts.

#1: Growing out my eyebrows
I'm growing out my eyebrows and it's soo frustrating! They are naturally thick and shapeless but after many years of over plucking and a recent threading gone too thin I'm trying to thicken them up a bit. I highly doubt they'll ever be what they were. I wish my mom had taken me to get them professionally done like I had begged as a kid so they would have been properly shaped the first time. Anyway I use castor oil. Rogaine burns my eyebrow skin and causes my brow bones and eye lids to swell so I immediately stopped using it. I noticed the right one is growing in faster than the left. From afar they still look overly thin but up really close you can see black stubbles in random spots. They are long enough and dark enough where concealed and makeup won't cover them so I'm stuck with sloppy eyebrows. I'm hoping by next year they'll look normal for my birthday. I'm just worried that I'll go through all this trying to grow them and looking bad and then I have to end up returning to the ultra thin bc the spots I need to grow in in order to reshape them won't grow back. Has this eve happened to anyone? The whole filling in with powders and pencils while it grows back looks awful on me. When it rains it washes off my face or when I sweat so it looks even more weird if I try filling them in. I hope they grow back.
