On the morning of 9-11, the parish where I was working had a Tuesday staff meeting at 9 am, and I was supposed to leave early and go to another meeting at the chancery. Since the parish was just outside of Washington DC, none of this happened. The staff meeting became a planning meeting for how to dismiss the schoolchildren, many of whose parents worked for the federal government, with the least disruption.
We decided to have a school Mass while waiting for the parents, and although I wasn't a parish musician at the time, I insisted on having a little music. So before the Mass and at a couple of times during it, I played peacefully on the guitar. One of my indelible memories of the day is the look of relief on the face of a 2nd grade boy who turned in his pew to face me, as the rational motion of music gave him a leg to stand on, emotionally.
Music can foster courage. Musicians are always a part of armies, taking up space and resources that combatants might have used, simply to provide the emotional support for which music is uniquely suited. Likewise for the Christian, in a moment of trial or temptation, the memory of a Communion antiphon or the great initial leap of the Ave Maria antiphon can break in through the panic and restore order to the heart and mind.
50 years ago this afternoon, on an earlier generation's 9-11, this was the ordered response of the Boston Symphony Orchestra to a moment of tragedy and devastation. The story is at NPR.

Herati youth celebrate India-Afghan friendship with 100 m flag #Salmadam @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy @IndianEmbKabul pic.twitter.com/wFneUUqkgd
— India in Herat (@IndianConsHerat) August 10, 2015
India's major reconstruction project in Afghanistan, the Salma Dam, is nearing completion. Water has started filling up its reservoirs – delighting Afghan residents in the western Herat province where it is located. India began the reconstruction work of the dam in the war-torn country in 2006.
Filled with joy over the news of the construction work nearing completion, thousands of Afghan residents expressed their gratitude by visiting the Indian consulate in Herat and thanking the officials for the vital role that they played in reconstructing the dam.
$300 million is approximately the amount that India is spending on the dam project and it is expected to produce 42 MW of electricity and water nearly 80,000 hectares of farmland. The reservoir is expected to be completed in around 9-12 months.
Afghans were filled with exhilaration and were all praise for India for taking up the construction of the dam. They took out processions, sang Bollywood numbers and presented the Indian officials at the consulate with flowers. All this just to thank India enough for its efforts.
The really proud and amazing part was that the Afghans carried a 100 m tricolour, along with their own national flag, on the streets of Afghanistan to express gratefulness to the Indian government.
This moment truly sealed the bond between both the nations forever.

EU policy
On 4 May, senior EU officials and the Republic of South Africa's Department for Higher Education and Training will hold their 4th meeting in the framework of their policy dialogue in education and training at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.
School education
Entrepreneurship is increasingly important if young people want to succeed after they leave full time education. As a result, schools are becoming more and more responsible for developing what is both a mindset and a skill. Erasmus+ projects have a part to play by making sure that educational staff are equipped with the knowledge, teaching materials and methodologies they need.
School education
We are very happy to announce that 14 eTwinning projects have been awarded the 2017 eTwinning European Prizes! The jury selected a winner and a runner-up (from three age categories), and eight special achievements from among the 591 entries. The selected projects show the incredible variety and high interest in eTwinning projects.

This question is
regarding Muslim weddings. I have recently embraced Islam. Previously I
was Christian. I am curious to know how the muslim and christian wedding
ceremony and celebration differ? Does the bride wear white? Does the
couple exchange rings? Is dancing allowed? Please let me know as soon as
you are able. I have not been able to find this information in any books,
or at this site.
Thank you!
Praise be to Allaah.
There are many differences between Muslim and non-Muslim weddings, such as: the condition that the woman must have a wali or guardian to marry her off, the condition that there be witnesses and that the marriage be announced, that the woman cannot be a mahram (close blood relative) of the man, and that the wedding does not have to take place in a mosque.
The groom can wear any kind of clothing that has been permitted by Allaah, and it does not have to be any specific colour.
It is not permitted for the couple to exchange rings, because this is an innovation that has been newly invented in the religion, and is even worse if the man wears a gold ring because gold is forbidden for men in Islam. It is mustahabb (recommended) for women in particular to sing at weddings and to use the daff (hand-drum), but not any other kind of musical instruments.
It is not permissible for men and women to mix, at weddings or at any other time, or for the groom to sit with his bride in front of the women.
If the women are alone and no men can see them, it is permissible for them to dance, so long as this will not cause undue provocation of desires.
And Allaah knows best.

The federal government should do away with a controversial four-year-in, four-year- out rule that mandates temporary foreign workers can only work in Canada for a maximum of four years, a new committee report suggests.
In a highly anticipated report tabled Monday, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Development says Canada's current Temporary Foreign Worker Program needs reform, but falls short of calling for the entire program to be completely overhauled.
"The Committee acknowledges that the current program streams may not fully reflect Canadian labour market needs," the report notes.
The cumulative duration rule was first implemented in 2011 by the Harper government. At the time, the Conservatives argued the rule, which mandates workers who have worked in Canada for four years leave for at least four years before returning, was designed to help prevent employers from hiring foreign workers at the expense of Canadians.
Canada's agriculture sector has long called for the rule's end – insisting the regulation hurts industries — like mushroom farms — where homegrown labour is hard to come by and permanent immigration pathways are nonexistent.
The committee also falls short of calling for a separate immigration stream for the country's agriculture industry despite repeated pleas from farmers and processors who say current labour shortages are crippling their bottom lines.
Canada's agriculture industry has been asking for a permanent value-chain, multi-stream labour supply specifically designed for agriculture. The Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Workforce Action Plan, which is backed by 75 various stakeholder groups, would see the popular Seasonal Agriculture Worker Program moved out of the TFW program.
However, the report's 21 recommendations include a call for a detailed review of Canada's current pathways to permanent residency, better skills training, and ensuring the program works for specific sectors, including agriculture.
The committee also advocates for the creation of a new Trusted Employer Program, where application wait times would be reduced for employers who have "demonstrated their trustworthiness in their use of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program."
That suggestion is welcomed by the Canadian Meat Council, where meat plants like Maple Leaf Foods have been asking for such a program for years.
"That should help," meat council director Ron Davidson said when asked whether the proposed Trusted Employer Program could help ease the labour crunch.
"I've got a plants here that frankly wouldn't be open today without this [the TFW] program."
Only one of the committee's recommendations appears to address Canada's agriculture sector directly, with the federal government told it should consider expanding the current definition of primary agriculture to include the seafood sector, the report notes – echoing a demand put forward last spring by the Canadian Agriculture Human Resource Council.
Meanwhile, a current cap on the number of low-skill temporary workers a company can employ should bet set at a minimum 20 per cent, the committee noted.
The Harper government capped the number of low-skill temporary foreign workers in 2014 in response to a series of abuse scandals involving the program. Under the cap, some companies saw the number of temporary foreign workers capped immediately at 10 per cent, while employers who were heavily dependent on the program were given three years to reduce the number of foreign workers they employed.
The cap had been set to fall to 10 per cent in July, despite pleas from employers like meat packers who argued that level would impede their business' ability to operate. Employment Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk suspended that drop in June, with the freeze in place pending the committee's recommendations.
On Monday, Davidson said a minimum 20 per cent cap would be "very welcomed."
"That should be a positive development," he stressed, suggesting a 2o per cent cap would "even out the playing field."

I have an old Savage take down in 22 High Power. Couldn't find any ammo anywhere. I went on line and found Ammo To Go. You had it in stock, priced right, and I got in in a very shot time from order date. It's fun to deal with that kind of business.

I have the same trouble locating this 22 High Power Ammo 5.6 X 52R and was glad that Ammo To Go has a good source for supplying it to us. Thank you ATG for locating it. When I have the money I'll be reordering. Thank you all!

Sellier & Bellot is a premier producer of ammunition. This particular round is difficult to find in the United States so I was very pleased to be notified when AmmoToGo had it available. Manufacturing quality appears high and ammunition is properly packaged and boxed.

Ask and be open to being asked about guns in the places kids play this holiday season! We're curious to understand more about why Gander Mountain waits until they've already told you about their firemarms (in 10 pages) to before having shoppers consider how to store them properly (2 pages).
Gander Mountain has quite a selection of firearms for sale this holiday season. This 23 page catalog features 10 pages of nothing but guns. There are 2 pages dedicated to gun safes and locking storage for guns. We hope this is not indicative of how people value the importance of locking up guns in the places your children play. Safety first. Ask about gun accessibility in the places your kids play this holiday season.

If you thought the HTC Desire Gingerbread saga was over, think again! After announcing the HTC Desire would not be updated to Gingerbread due to the handset's internal memory limitation, HTC backtracked. They stated a stripped down version of HTC Sense would allow them to fit the new update on the phone. But now Telstra has a solution of their own. Rather than strip out a few extra app or widgets from HTC Sense, Telstra plans to update the HTC Desire to Gingerbread by not including HTC Sense in the Rom at all.
Due to the increased memory requirements of the 'Gingerbread' update, new software that does not include HTC's Sense UI is being prepared.Telstra Support
Android purists should be really excited about this news. Many of you commented before that HTC should simply strip out Sense in order to make Gingerbread fit on the Desire. While we applaud Telstra for taking the matter seriously and listening to the community, we're not exactly sure how Telstra's HTC Desire users will feel about this move. Removing Sense from the Desire will completely change the phone and how users interact with it.
Has Telstra made the right call by stripping out HTC Sense in order to fit the Gingerbread update?

(Etobicoke Humane Society Facebook) Orphaned cats will have a sweet new spot to take a catnap in after a donation of 10 doll beds and $300 from Ikea to the Etobicoke Humane Society.In a video uploaded Tuesday, the cats at the shelter are seen curiously investigating and curling up on the mini beds donated by Ikea's Etobicoke location. Just a day after its upload on Facebook, the video surpassed 20,000 views."I'm really surprised about all the attention the video got," said Rebecca Gordon, social media manager at the Etobicoke Humane Society. "It's good exposure especially because we always need resources for the animals."VIDEOGordon said she stumbled upon the idea after seeing a photo of a cat sitting on an Ikea's Duktig doll bed on Bunz, the online market place. From there, she reached out to Ikea to see if they were willing to help out with the idea."They were more than happy to help us out and said that they'd love to give us the beds," she said. By sheer coincidence, the furniture store had been planning on donating $300 to the animal shelter."The (Ikea) location in Etobicoke was already fundraising for a charity and it just so happened that they chose the Humane Society, so on the day we called about the beds, they told us about the $300 donation the staff raised," Gordon said.For most of the felines, Gordon says they'll need a little bit of time to get used to the new furniture, but there are some "pawsitive" reviews from two cats at the shelter — Catsby and Frankie, who are featured in the video."Catsby is a very playful cat, and sometimes he'll perch on the beds," she said. "Frankie lays under the bed."Gordon is hoping the video will shed light on the little things people can do to support the shelter."We are 100 per cent donation based, and a lot of the staff treat this like a second full-time job," she said. "We can always use more volunteers."

It was 20 years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play… and by 20 we mean 38 and by Sergeant Pepper and the band, we mean Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne (you can decided for yourselves who was doing the teaching). Yes, it's Apple's birthday today, so let's just take a moment to reflect.
Apple was founded on 1 April 1976, before being incorporated as Apple Computer Inc on 3 January the following year.
It was founded by the aforementioned trio, in order to develop and sell personal computers, something it has now done rather successfully for the last nearly 40 years. Of course, during that period the company has also branched out somewhat, with its groundbreaking forays into the world of personal music devices (the iPod launched in October 2001), smartphones (the iPhone, launched in January 2007) and tablets (the iPad, launched in January 2010), along with myriad new operating systems and not-so-successful consumer products such as digital cameras, portable CD players and PDAs like the Newton.
In 1978, the company began working on the Apple Lisa – Jobs' pet project. When he was manoeuvred out of the team, due to internal politics, he took over the project to build an inexpensive computer – the Macintosh. Lisa was released first, but failed due to its limited software and high price tag. As we all now know, the Macintosh, which debuted with an almighty fanfare (and a Ridley Scott commercial) in 1984 was a huge success for the company and set it on the path to the elevated position it holds today.
It has grown and evolved its computer offerings in numerous ways, before arriving at the current line-up of two laptops (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro), two consumer level desktops (the iMac and Mac mini) and the super serious heavy duty workhorse, the Mac Pro.
As for the company's greatest successes, the iPod, though in a declining market is still being offered in the following versions: iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod shuffle and iPod classic.
The top range iPhone is currently the 5s, with its slightly lower range sibling the 5c. The 4s is also still available for a significantly lower price.
And the latest iPads are the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina display. Though the 4th generation (iPad with Retina display) and regular iPad mini are also still available.
So, what of those three musketeers who sat down 38 years ago and signed all the forms? Jobs, of course, died in 2011 after a protracted battle with pancreatic cancer. Steve 'Woz' Wozniak, who was the brains behind the design of both the Apple I and Apple II in the 1970s, left Apple permanently in 1987 and has since been involved in various ventures, as well as fulfilling an oft-stated desire to teach fifth-grade students. Every so often he'll do an interview or make some surprising (but perhaps prescient) announcement, such as his speech at the Science and Technology Summit in 2010 in The Hague, when he predicted that Android would dominate Apple when it came to market share, but the iPhone would remain the premium product.
In 1981 he was badly injured in a plane crash, when the Beechcraft Bonanza A36TC he was piloting stalled soon after take-off, bounced down the runway and crashed into an embankment.
He also dated Kathy Griffin for a while and was a contestant on the US version of Dancing with the Stars, eventually being eliminated from the competition after scoring 12 out of 30 for his Argentine tango.
And what of the third and least familiar face of the founding trio? Well, Ronald (Stuart Sutcliffe) Wayne, who had worked with Jobs at Atari, joined the two Steves as the administrative overseer. He wrote the original partnership agreement and drew the first Apple logo. He also received a 10 percent stake in the company but, wary of finding himself caught in a situation where he would be personally responsible for any debts incurred, sold his stock less than a fortnight after the company was founded.
Ronald Wayne gave up his share of Apple for a total of US$2300. Last year the company made US$170.9 billion in sales. Had Wayne held on to his 10 percent, by 2011 it would have been worth US$35 billion.
He is now retired and lives quietly in a Nevada mobile home park, selling stamps and rare coins.

When life gets busy, we have a tendency to neglect the house. It's not that we don't still love our homes, it's just that work and family take a precedent over the constant DIY and makeovers. Time spent in the office along with time spent with the family does mean the house suffers somewhat, but it does get boring looking at the same tired walls and floors. Your home should be somewhere you are proud of and if you are in the process of neglecting it, it's time to wake up and breathe a little life back into it!
Revitalising the home doesn't mean knocking it down and rebuilding brick for brick, but it does mean giving it a spruce up. From top to bottom, your home should feel like somewhere you can relax. If you have children at your heel, it should be safe and comforting for them, too. It's not just about the inside of the house, either. Your home should look it's best on the outside, too, so that you can feel that pride that this is a piece of work that you have put effort into. So, how can you give the house the ultimate makeover, without spending the earth?
Head Outside. When you walk to work or to the shops, you likely notice the houses that you walk past every day. You'll notice the ones with the crumbling paint jobs around the windows and the ones with the missing roof tiles. You'll also feel envy for those beautiful wooden shutters on the next street over and the wraparound porch painted to perfection. Take a walk outside your door and look at the house. Is the paint peeling? Should you be calling a roofing company to refit the tiles and clear the gutters? Does your porch need a fresh coat of paint and sealant? Look at the grass and the flowers and decide how you can make the exterior of your house stand out and be the envy of the people who pass it by.
Look Down. Your floors see a lot of traffic, especially in hallways and areas of heavy use. If you are a fan of having carpets down, these do need a refresh every couple of years. If you haven't got the funds for entirely new carpets through the home, why not look at hiring one of these gadgets to clean them thoroughly and restore them to their former glory? Those with hardwood flooring that has been professionally coated or varnished should also look to giving them a breath of life. Homes tend to have carpets in bedrooms so going over these with heavy duty cleaner can really change the whole look.
To The Windows. The windows are the eyes of the home, so you shouldn't be blinded by grubby panes! Check out these clever window cleaner ideas for home ingredients and head outside with some kitchen towels. Kitchen towel always clears windows better than standard cloths as they clear the cleaning solution and water without streaks left behind. Cleaning the windows can make a huge difference to the look of the home, both inside and outside, and don't forget the wooden panes, either. Those collect dirt like nothing else and need a good scrub once a month.
To The Walls. Inside the house, especially with children running around, has the potential to get quite dirty and worn very quickly. Wallpaper can always be replaced quite cheaply, but it's a much simpler job to just repaint the walls if you are able to. You can't put a price on the way a newly decorated house will make you feel, but if you're on a budget then a simple paint job is definitely worth the money. Hang some pretty artwork or create a gallery wall with family photos to brighten up walls that don't have much furniture against them. You could even mark off some space in the kids' bedroom so they can do a handprint mural! There are so many ideas around to brighten your walls and you can see some here.
The way you update your home has to reflect how you feel about your home. Allowing it to become rundown and tired is a symptom of a busy life, so it's important to make the room in your routines for house repairs and updates. Once you have updated your home you can relax a lot easier in your more comfortable surroundings! Start making that list, you've got some work cut out for you!

A dashing Iranian prince-about-town says he was swindled by a French business partner who spent more than $500,000 of company funds to pay for his daughter's day care, rent, cable bill, clothes and a Range Rover, according to a new legal petition.
Kamran Abbas-Vahid is the grandson of Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, the twin sister of the late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown in the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
Abbas-Vahid, 39, who lives in the West Village and also has a home in West Hollywood, signed on Frenchman and New York resident Charles Moreau, 33, as a partner in his Manhattan-based wine-importing business called Lions Wines in March 2011, records show.
But Moreau swapped company wine for free meals at posh restaurants, Abbas-Vahid charges.
Moreau said, "I'm a very, very good person. There is no case."

Most systems have a small number of day-to-day administrators, who work during normal business hours to manage configuration, patches, security, storage, etc. If a problem arises during the normal work-day, these administrators are called and they fix the problem promptly.
If production systems experience problems at night or on weekends, stand-by staff need to be able to login and make corrective changes. At other times, stand-by staff should not have administrative access.
These requirements are contradictory: stand-by staff should get administrative access to systems in an emergency, but not normally.
Using Privileged Access Manager, one-time disclosure of passwords is convenient and secure.

About Us
About Us
Doggie Protective Services was incorporated in 2001. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-driven, animal rescue organization. Our Tax ID is 91-2164578. We rescue dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. We also rescue cats on a smaller, yet equally successful scale. We have placed over 12,000 dogs and cats in forever homes since our inception.
Our animals live in foster homes throughout Southern California, Northern California, and Las Vegas. Anywhere from 100-200 dog foster homes are active at various times in some capacity, whether on a long-term, short-term, or overnight basis. And most of our fosters are involved beyond just fostering - they volunteer at adoption events, transport the animals, conduct adoption interviews and do post-adoption outreach. They're rock stars! Our volunteers love to share their work with the dogs on social media, and we highlight on our official accounts those moments that prove how vital they are to the rescue.
We also have a small, vibrant group of cat foster homes that take in our rescue cats and kittens. For cat owners requesting re-homing assistance, we can assist if they are able to foster their own cat while we work to find a new, permanent home.
Approximately 30 shelters throughout Southern California and Northern California partner with us in our rescue efforts. We are contacted by shelters and asked to help with overpopulation by taking in specific dogs who otherwise may not be adopted or who have been at the shelter for an extended period of time. We take in dogs from shelters who do not thrive in a shelter environment or who need medical or behavioral attention outside of the facility. We also take in owner-surrenders from people who are no longer able to care for their dogs. We even intercept litters of puppies and place them in loving temporary homes before they are dropped off at a shelter. We then offer assistance with spay and neuter for the adult dogs in the home to prevent further unwanted litters. And, we coordinate with spay and neuter clinics in low-income neighborhoods known for high numbers of whelping moms or in areas where dogs are often discarded. We work to assist with litters in these locales to avoid more unaltered, unvaccinated dogs going out into the community.
Our partnership with a rescue group in Korea helps us fully realize the impact of a highly dedicated, global network of volunteers. Our Korean rescue partners save dogs who are sold to the meat markets or who are in danger of ending up at the meat markets. It is our strong belief that because we have the resources and the ability to save highly adoptable dogs from certain death, that we should do so. It doesn't matter if the dogs in need are in the Bay Area, LA, or as far away as Korea. Our philosophy is simple: If there is a need, and we can and want to assist, then we will.

Ruscombe Hall is the largest single house at Cannington Grange, accomodating 10 people in the comfortable and spacious manner you would expect of such an impressive Victorian Country House.
Built in 1865 as the main family residence for the Ruscombe-Poole family, it has remained in almost continuous family use for 150 years.
It has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment that has seen a complex redecoration, new kitchen and either new or refurbished bathrooms.
Visitor feedback for has been excellent and we are taking advance bookings of up to 2 years ahead!
Simply arriving at the 10ft arched doorway tells you to expect something special.
Once inside, the massive hallway, with its sweeping stairway, impressive stone fireplace and french oak block flooring sets the scene.
From the hallway, take the door into the main sitting room (), with floor to ceiling south and south-west facing windows its a very bright and comfortable room - the windows retain their original shutters so in the evening, with the huge open fire lit, it has a lovely warm and cosy feel.
Seating is for 10 on comfortable sofa's and chairs.
From the sitting room, a peculiar window-door takes you into the adjacent conservatory, which in turn has double doors leading to the patio and garden.
The seperate dining-room has as its centrepiece a 10-seater oak dining table - perfect for formall or informal family meals.
The impressive marble fireplace contains a super woodburner, this really warms the room when in use.
Again, one of those peculiar window-doors leads out onto the patio where a large table and chairs offers an alfresco south-facing eating and socialising area.
The kitchen offers a great area for preparing meals for friends and relatives - the granite topped central bar doubles as a huge breakfast table - imagine having large bowls of cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurts and cold meats all laid out for your group to help themselves before sitting down to eat in the adjacent dining room....
On a practical note, there is a large Rangemaster double electric oven and hobs, an American style fridge/freezer plus dishwasher, with plenty of preparation space and microwave. Cutlery and crockery is more than adequate for a group of 10.
The sweeping stairway takes you to a wide and spacious galleried first floor landing, from where you can choose one of the five bedrooms.
Landor Room: This is a huge room with a superkingsize bed, a whole wall of fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite bathroom with shower over the bath. Views over the fishing pond and croquet lawn.
Parlby Suite: Originally one large room, this has been cleverly divided into two bedrooms, they have lots of wardrobe and drawer space and share a hidden bathroom, which offers a claw-foot bath and seperate walk-in shower. This suite is perfect for two adults and two children, or by using zip-link beds we can offer either a double and a twin room, or a kingsize double and a double room.
Gilleys Room: Traditional double bedroom, with a kingsize bed and its own ensuite, featuring a bath with shower attachement.
Quantock Room: A twin bedroom, featuring lovely mahogany sleigh beds, with an ingenious use of space giving this room an ensuite shower and toilet.
Ruscombe Hall and Toad Hall can, if required, share a first floor internal connecting door, which would give a combined total accomodation for 18 people. This can be very handy if you're bringing small children who need putting to bed so the adults can stay up late. This connection is via one of the bedrooms in Toad Hall.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Twenty years passed this week since the tragic death of Brazilian Formula One racing legend Ayrton Senna, who died while behind the wheel during the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994. Supporters, team members and other racing drivers gathered at the scene of the three time championship winner's fatal crash in Imola, Italy, where Ayrton Senna competed for the last time.
Family members, plus past and present drivers, also gathered as a silence was held at the exact time of the accident. Fans gathered from around the world and many laid flowers beneath a bronze statue of Senna which stands near the corner where he fatally crashed.
Members of Senna's family, including his niece Paula, attended the service. "It's so emotional for us because it's a long time and still, the love from the people is very alive," she told the BBC. "This is very special for me because we are the family, but it seems like Ayrton is living inside people's hearts, so it's beautiful."
Also speaking to the BBC, Damon Hill, Senna's team-mate in 1994, said: "The Japanese and the Brazilians saw him as a god. His passion was undeniable and I sincerely believe he wanted to make the world a better place." Double world champion Fernando Alonso, said "For a lot of us, he was our idol."
The commemorations began with a ceremony and a parade to remember both Senna and Roland Ratzenberger who died in qualification on the same track the day before. During the day of the anniversary of his death, Ayrton Senna's grave at the Morumbi Cemetery in the Zona Sul (South Zone) of São Paulo, received hundreds fans who laid flowers, messages, flags of Brazil and also held prayers at his grave.

Santa Barbara To Host 2010 College Cup
Aug. 28, 2009
INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Committee has selected Santa Barbara, Calif., to serve as the host for the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, which will take place Dec. 10 and 12, 2010. Hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara, the 2010 Men's Soccer Championship will be played at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. It marks the first time UC Santa Barbara will host the event, but the sixth time the championship will take place in the state of California (2005-Carson, 1981-Palo Alto, 1977- Berkeley, 1969-San Jose, 1966-Berkeley).
"This is tremendous news," said Mark Massari, UC Santa Barbara director of athletics. "UCSB, Santa Barbara and the central coast area is a great choice for celebrating the NCAA Men's College Cup. Now the fun begins and we look forward to working with our local community and civic leaders to make this event a huge success. We are on the national stage."
"The committee is very excited to bring the NCAA Men's College Cup back to the west coast with UC Santa Barbara hosting in 2010. Their reputation as a premier soccer venue, drawing record crowds in a location known for great weather makes UC Santa Barbara not only an ideal selection to host the NCAA Men's College Cup, but will help to continue to foster the sport's growth," said Charlie Elwood, chair of the Division I Men's Soccer Committee and director of athletic administration at Fordham University.
"We are so pleased and honored that the NCAA and the NCAA Men's Soccer Committee has awarded the 2010 NCAA Men's College Cup to UC Santa Barbara," said Henry T. Yang, UC Santa Barbara Chancellor. "This is such an exciting opportunity for a great soccer community. I applaud our intercollegiate athletics director Mark Massari, head coach Tim Vom Steeg, our coaching staff, our student-athletes, and all of our devoted Gaucho alumni and fans for their contributions to this successful bid."

text: MEXICO CITY — Gunmen kidnapped Arnoldo Martinez Vertugo, a leading member of a Communist-led political coalition and a candidate for Mexico's Chamber of Deputies in Sunday's congressional elections. A statement issued by the Mexican United Socialist Party, known by its Spanish initials PSUM, said no ransom demand had been made. The kidnappers identified themselves as members of the Party of the Poor, a small guerrilla group that was active in the 1970s, when they entered the office where Martinez was working, the statement said.

I had been masturbating knowingly since I was 9, but did not ejaculate until I reached 13. It was then that I began to get the most pleasure from it.
I had been stimulating my penis as long as I can remember, but didn't do so for pleasure until I was 9 when an older boy taught me to do it long enough to have an orgasm. My sessions lasted for 15 to 20 minutes until I began to ejaculate. Then to make it last, I learned to edge, that is to jack until I felt an orgasm beginning. I'd stop then and admire my penis which would be throbbing and red with precome and lube glistening. I began to notice that the meatus would open on the down stroke, and remained open as my excitement increased. When I got past the point of no return, I felt my balls retract, the precome begin to flow in a stream, and finally orgasm begin with strong twitches which continued for four or five with thick white come flying out with every twitch. It all ended with oozing which lasted for about a minute or so. My penis was red and swollen for another half hour.

Throughout your journey to get an ever higher conversion rate, you run a lot of tests. Everything from the color of your CTA button to the font and size of your headline can impact the conversion rate of a landing page.
But what should you be testing to get the best results the fastest?
IMHO I would recommend testing things that have already worked for other marketers' landing pages. I always find this to be a much better place to start than my initial 'gut reaction' – as, inevitably, there is a test somebody has already run that proves that feeling to be incorrect.
In this infographic from Wishpond I'll show you 14 stats-bached techniques you can test to improve the conversion rate of your landing pages.
As they're already proven techniques, it will be easy for you to use them to get some quick wins.

On the other hand, the studio built us into stars. Today actors make a movie and then disappear until their next project. In my day the studios sent out hundreds and hundreds of articles and photographs about you between films. That`s why we had big movie stars then. We`ll probably never have them again.`` Baker says Blanche has learned from her mistakes. ``She saw me do one thing after another that didn`t suit me, and she learned the importance of holding out for the right project.``

Black Lives Matter Utah Study Group Readings
The Black Lives Matter Utah Community Education Initiative has been born out of the desperate necessity to educate ourselves on Black history, Black resistance, and the operations of White Supremacy. Knowledge actually is power, and as Assata Shakur has said: "No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them." We build community strength, resistance and resilience through educating ourselves.
Below are links to readings for our twice monthly study group, starting with the most current:
- Sunday October 29th: We will be reading "Hidden Histories, Racialized Gender and the Legacy of Reconstruction: The Story of U.S. v. Cruikshank," a chapter I co-wrote with Angela Harris for a law textbook, Women in the Law Stories, published by Foundation Press. I have scanned and uploaded it Here
- Sunday October October 15th: Slavery and the U.S. Constitution. Slavery Provisions of the U.S. Constitution

Wow, I hate that word, but there it is. It's a word all {most} step moms hate. Ever since Disney movies, we have been portrayed as evil, scheming women, whose sole drive in life is to torture their step children or send them off to boarding school.
But, do you know what? It's just a label. My kids {note how I don't refer to them as my step children} call me Mommy. Ever since their dad and I began dating, they said it and we didn't stop them. From the beginning, we knew we would someday be married, so there was no harm in it, and obviously, they needed a mom.
So I became that for them. I was just 19, but the things you do for your children, the way you turn your whole life around and grow up… It's so worth giving up the silly things you once deemed important.
Being a step mom is difficult, as I'm sure being a biological mother is, which I will someday also know. Growing up, I always knew my sister Kassi as my sister, not my half-sister. She has a different dad than my younger sister and I do, but having the example of how my dad treated my sister was such a blessing as I now look and see myself stepping into the same role. She called him Dad. It was normal.
I have been told it takes a special person to step in and become a step parent. But I don't think so. I don't need a pat on the back. I think that once you love someone, everything they love also becomes a treasure to you. It's not something difficult to understand. I mean yes, we have problems that undivided families don't; insecurities about the biological parent, fights with them, children's tears upon leaving…
It used to be really difficult for me to accept that they had a biological mother, oddly. I felt like I was supposed to be their true and only mom because of all I had done for them, like I deserved it or something. But now, as changes have happened over the last year, I realize how important it is to build her up to my boys. It's not fair for them to hear bad things about their parents {step or biological} and to plant a bad seed. Then they feel like they have to be one person in one home, and another in the other home.
I think this has been my whole journey all along. The word kindness has always had a special importance to me, and if I didn't act and give grace and mercy the way Jesus has given me, I would be a hypocrite. But even if it's not to better myself, being kind to her makes this whole thing easier. Not only for me, but most importantly, for the boys. They need an example of Jesus, and an example of how people should treat people, even if in this soiled world, people don't always treat others as they should.
Children are an amazing gift. They make you look at things through different eyes, and cause joys where there would normally be sadness. Their innocence makes me yearn for my childhood, and to create a good one for them, which is the next best thing. Just thinking about the fact that this tiny person, this baby who has no knowledge of right and wrong is your responsibility is mind blowing. The person they become is a direct reflection of what you taught them.
Psalms 127:3 "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him."

Note from Kassi: Man, I love my sister. I am beyond proud of her and what a great mommy she is. Sav is 6 years younger than me, and I am still in awe of her ability to step into such a tremendous role at such a tender age. She owned it, and she is a complete natural. Those boys are unbelievably blessed to have her in their lives.

I wanted to share this excellent presentation on the theme of user experience axioms, which has been compiled and - in the spirit of the subject - iterated by Erik Dahl.
There are currently 26 UX axioms, and I don't think there is any filler in here at all. It's rare to see such a concise, fat-free, meaningful list like this.
The UX Axioms website outlines these principles along with a brief explanation of the thinking behind each one.
The three that resonated most with me are:
Tame Complexity; don't simplify
The law of conservation of complexity states that applications have inherent complexity that needs to be dealt with in product development or user interaction. Complexity provides power, but don't make people deal with a complex interface.
Make non-arbitrary design decisions
Design with purpose. You should have a rationale for every design decision you make. "Because its cool," "Because it's trendy," "Because I wanted to," "Because it's a best practice" is not good enough.
Understand and play with emotion
Human emotions are at the core of perception and interaction. As a UX designer you must understand emotions and how to design for emotion.
Anyhow, tuck into the slideshare below, and be sure to check out the A-Z of user experience design principles, which I collated last summer.
Pretty much on the money, I'd say, but do leave a comment below if you think Erik missed anything...
Comments (1)
Thanks for these Chris - Really interesting reading.
I think from personal experience one of the biggest for me is 'Don't trust what people say; open your eyes' as the number of times I've seen websites designed on what people say they'd like to see rather than their actual instinctive behaviour is huge...

Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi to stand trial for paying underage 'Ruby the Heartbreaker' for sexFebruary 17th, 2011 - 12:36 am ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt
Rome, Feb 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is now all set to stand trial for paying an underage girl – 'Ruby the Heartbreaker' for sex. The politician is 74 years old and he is in a soup because he had paid sex with a girl who was just 17 years of age, at the time of the incident.
Reports also suggest that he abused his status and power as the Italian Prime Minister by telephoning the police officers to release her after they had arrested her on suspicion of theft.
On the other hand, the Moroccan belly dancer, who was 17 at the time of the incident insists that she didn't have sex with Silvio at all. However she does add that she was paid a whooping 5,500 pounds just to attend a party at the billionaire PM's house.
And on the other hand, Silvio also insists that he didn't have sex with her and instead this is a conspiracy hatched by his political opponents to oust him from power.
The trial is all set to start from the 6th of April in Milan. The case is going to be deliberated by 3 women judges - Carmen D'Elia, Orsolina De Cristofaro and Giulia Turri.

Twin Pits for Pour Flush
This technology consists of two alternating pits connected to a pour flush toilet. The blackwater (and in some cases greywater) is collected in the pits and allowed to slowly infiltrate into the surrounding soil. Over time, the solids are sufficiently dewatered and can be manually removed with a shovel.
The twin pits for pour flush technology can be designed in various ways; the toilet can be located directly over the pits or at a distance from them. The superstructure can be permanently constructed over both pits or it can move from side to side depending on which one is in use. No matter how the system is designed, only one pit is used at a time. While one pit is filling, the other full pit is resting.
As liquid leaches from the pit and migrates through the unsaturated soil matrix, pathogenic germs are sorbed onto the soil surface. In this way, pathogens can be removed prior to contact with groundwater. The degree of removal varies with soil type, distance travelled, moisture and other environmental factors.
The difference between this technology and the double VIP or Fossa Alterna is that it allows for water and it is not necessary to add soil or organic material to the pits. As this is a water-based (wet) technology, the full pits require a longer retention time (two years is recommended) to degrade the material before it can be excavated safely.
Design Considerations
The pits should be of an adequate size to accommodate a volume of waste generated over one or two years. This allows the contents of the full pit enough time to transform into a partially sanitized, soil-like material that can be manually excavated..
It is recommended that the twin pits be constructed 1 m apart from each other to minimize cross-contamination between the maturing pit and the one in use. It is also recommended that the pits be constructed over 1 m from any structural foundation as leachate can negatively impact structural supports. Water within the pit can impact its stability. Therefore, the full depth of the pit walls should be lined to prevent collapse and the top 30 cm should be fully mortared to prevent direct infiltration and to support the superstructure.
There is a risk of groundwater pollution when pits are located in areas with a high or variable water table, and/or fissures or cracks in the bedrock. As soil and groundwater properties are often unknown, it is difficult to estimate the distance necessary between a pit and a water source. It is normally recommended to have a minimum horizontal distance of 30 m between them to limit exposing the water source to microbial contamination.
To ensure that only one of the two pits is used at any time, the idle pipe of the junction connecting to the out-of-use pit should be closed (e.g. with cement or bricks). Alternatively, the pour flush toilet could also be directly connected to the pit in use by a single straight pipe fixed in place with light mortar and covered with earth. The risk of failure and misuse is minimized by ensuring that the junction and pipes are not easily accessible.
Twin pits for pour flush are a permanent technology appropriate for areas where it is not possible to continuously build new pit latrines. As long as water is available, this technology is appropriate for almost every type of housing density. However, too many wet pits in a small area is not recommended as the soil matrix may not be of sufficient capacity to absorb all the liquid and the ground could become water-logged (oversaturated). In order for the pits to drain properly, the soil must have a good absorptive capacity; clay, tightly packed or rocky soils are not appropriate. This technology is not suitable for areas with a high groundwater table or where there is frequent flooding.
Greywater can be co-managed along with the blackwater in the twin pits, especially if the greywater quantities are relatively small, and no other management system is in place to control it. However, large quantities of flushwater and/or greywater may result in excessive leaching from the pit and possibly groundwater contamination. .
The dewatered, solid material is manually emptied from the pits (it is dug, not pumped out), therefore, space is not required for vacuum trucks to access them.
Health Aspects/Acceptance
It is a commonly accepted sanitation option; however, some health concerns exist:
- Leachate can contaminate groundwater;
- Stagnant water in pits may promote insect breeding;
- Pits are susceptible to failure and/or overflowing during floods.
Operation and Maintenance
The pits must be regularly emptied (after the recommended two year resting time), and care must be taken to ensure that they do not flood during rainy seasons. Emptying is done manually using long handled shovels and proper personal protection.

Civil Twilight get compared to other bands quite often -- notably Coldplay. It's probably because it has four members like that internationally-celebrated UK group, and because its front man is known to dabble in falsetto and 88 keys. The comparisons, however, should stop there but they probably won't. As a matter of fact, during an "A-Sides" session with them earlier this month I'm pretty sure I just assumed they were from England. They're not. The band -- Steven and Andrew McKellar and Richard Wouters hail from Cape Town South Africa, and what Charlize Theron is to beauty, these guys are to music. Apologies for that analogy. I'm essentially saying Theron is beautiful and they make beautiful music, and -- you know -- they're all from South Africa.
Anyway, the band, who added a fourth member recently (Kevin Dailey), are currently on the road in support of "Holy Weather," an album that features their signature epic sound and storytelling. The quartet stopped by the Music Conservatory of Westchester to film "A-Sides," performed two tracks, and addressed comparisons to other bands and the fact their music is heard on many, many television shows from House to Vampire Diaries.
Watch. Listen. Love. Catch them on tour with Mutemath this fall.

CT Interview
Aoki in NYC with Duran Squared
There are a few valuable lessons I've learned in life. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight. Don't eat ice cream with a fork. And, recently, I added don't use a FlipCam on a poorly lit, crammed red carpet at a New York City concert venue. On June 20, DJ Steve Aoki performed a special concert at Terminal 5 as part of Trident's "Sweet What Unfolds Live" series. The mix master played to a crowd of 3,000 and was joined by surprise guests Duran Duran to perform their collaboration together -- a remixed cover of their mega-hit "Hungry Like the Wolf." Following the performance of that "New York Werewolf Mix," the "Reflex" band performed a short set. Moments before the audience got sweaty in the pit to phat beats, Aoki, Duran Duran, and a notable stars took to the crowded (and less sweaty) red carpet located on the third-floor of the venue. The space was crammed. The view was dark, and I captured it all for your amusement. The Bachelorette's Roberto Martinez addresses (or doesn't address) rumors that he'll be the next Bachelor, fellow contestant (and winner) J.P. Rosenbaum tolerates my line of questioning, and singer Solange Knowles chats about her anticipation to watch Aoki's set. Oh, and there's Glee's Mark Salling talking about (finally) graduating. Watch. Listen. Love?
About A-Sides with Jon Chattman
Jon Chattman's music series features artists (established or not) from all genres performing a track, and discussing what it means to them. This informal series focuses on the artist making art in a low-threatening, extremely informal (sometimes humorous) way. No bells, no whistles -- just the music performed in a random, low-key setting followed by an unrehearsed chat. In an industry where everything often gets overblown and over manufactured, I'm hoping this is refreshing.

The John Paul II Foundation Chapter's Christmas wafer evening at the Polish Embassy in Paris in the year of 40th anniversary of Karol Wojtyła's election to the Holy See
On an annual basis, the John Paul II Foundation Chapter in Paris organizes a Christmas wafer meeting at the Polish Embassy in Paris. The Christmas wafer meeting took place also this year and it was the main point of the three-day long celebrations related to this year's 40th anniversary of the election of the Polish Pope.
On January 27th to the beautiful rooms of the Polish Embassy came members of the Foundation's Chapter, as well as guests and friends. We were honored by the presence of Archbishop of Lvov Mieczysław Mokrzycki who came with his Secretary, Rev. dr Andrzej Legowicz; Father dr Krzysztof Wieliczko OSPPE, Administrator of the John Paul II Foundation in Rome; Rector of the Polish Catholic Mission (PCM) in France Rev. Bogusław Brzyś; Monsignor Stanisław Jeż – former Rector of the PCM and honorable president of the French Chapter of the John Paul II Foundation, Ambassador Tomasz Młynarski; and, Consul Hubert Czerniuk. We were also honored with the presence of Countess d'Ornano, longstanding supporter of the Foundation, members of the Chapter board: Mr. and Mrs. Brzakowski, Mr. and Mrs. Rogowscy and Mr. and Mrs. Tomkiewicz, other Chapter members, and the Pastor of Our Lady of Assumption Church in Paris, Rev. Paweł Witkowski.
The Ambassador opened the meeting who in his speech referred to the Polish tradition of sharing Christmas wafer before the Christmas Eve dinner, how important was this tradition to St. John Paul II, and to the spiritual heritage of our great Countryman. Then, Mr. Brzakowski, President of the Foundation Chapter expressed his gratitude to the Administrative Council and the Chapter board for their commitment. He summarized the last year which was reach in various events and outlined plans for the Foundation Chapter for the 2018 year. In his speech, he underlined the importance of the Foundation as an integral part of the Vatican entity and informed about Mr. Henryk Rogowski's nomination. Archbishop of Krakow Marek Jędraszewski with the Vatican Secretary of State approval appointed Mr. Henryk Rogowski as a laic member of the Foundation's Administrative Council.
As it was mentioned earlier, Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki was our honorable guest of the Chapter's Christmas wafer meeting. Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki, the only Pole was working as a Secretary for two Popes – John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He was meeting the most important and influential people in the world. He saw the holiness of the two Popes – on every-day basis and at the most private situations. Now, as the Archbishop of Lvov, he is seeing problems of Catholics in Ukraine. In his speech Archbishop Mokrzycki depicted the situation of the Catholic Church in that country.
In the following part of the evening, Ms. Ewa Norska presented the artistic program inviting us to listen to music pieces performed by the Ukrainian pianist Ms. Valeria Kucherenko, junior string quartet "Passionata", and the parish choir "Soli Deo" under the direction of Mr. Bogdan Żądło of Aulnay sous Bois, who led us into the "magical world" of Polish Christmas carols, the more and the less known songs. We were able to join the choir in their singing, what made a great joy for all of us. After this beautiful artistic part of the evening, we were making wishes sharing the traditional Christmas wafer which was blessed by Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki. Then, it was the time to enjoy and try delicious Polish dishes and vine. While eating and the rest of the evening we continued on meeting each other and striking nice conversations.
On the same day (January 27th) before the noon, our guests of honor from Lvov and Rome along with Mr. and Mrs. Rogowski and Mr. and Mrs. Brzakowski went to the St. Justin Church in Levallois, a city located nearby Paris, to visit St. John Paull II place. At the Church, they celebrated a holy Mass. After the Mass, they went to the Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral where they were greeted by Rev. Monsignor Patrick Chauvet. The guests visited the interior of the Cathedral and treasury which has the crown of thorns, a nail, and a piece of the cross from Passion of Jesus Christ. There is also a paten, chalice and chasuble which were used during the World Youth Days in Paris and which were offered by St. John Paul II. Visitors had time to pray in front of the Saint Relics. Then, they went to see the John Paul II monument located on a side of the cathedral.
The Saturday Christmas wafer meeting at the Polish Embassy for all members of the John Paul II Foundation Chapter was a beautiful and solemn moment. However, this was not the only evening, during which the members of the Chapter of the John Paul II Foundation were able to meet. A day earlier, on Friday, January 26th, we participated in the holy Mass celebrated in the Polish Church of Our Lady of Assumption in Paris. The Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki, Father Krzysztof Wieliczko, Rector Bogusław Brzyś, Monsignor Stanisław Jeż, Pastor Paweł Witkowski and the secretary of Archbishop – Rev. Andrzej Legowicz. "The saints are not asking to be praised, but to imitate them" – said in his homily Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki, former secretary of St. John Paul II. During his homily, he asked what taught us St. John Paul II, the disciple of Jesus from the 21st century. The Holy Father radiated and impacted others. He had a special charisma. He was a man of faith. His thoughts were constantly with God – said Archbishop. The Archbishop of Lvov emphasized that St. John Paul II was a man of prayer. The time of prayer was the most important to Him. He was praying ordinary prayers, which were characterized by Evangelical simplicity. The former secretary of St. John Paul II stressed that a Mass was the most important moment of the day. In his life, His Eucharistic devotion was joined with a passion for Crucified Jesus. He remained kneeling in front of God, he was living God and was united with Him. Above all, he was a man, who was constantly thinking about another people, he was concerned. He was feeding us the same what He lived. Each meeting with Him was bringing us closer to God. John Paul II still lives in us continued Archbishop Mokrzycki. Let this holiness invite us to the renewal of our lives. The Archbishop of Lvov ended his homily with a prayer, which he was praying with Saint John Paul II: "Lord God accept me as I am, with all my weaknesses and infirmities, but made me who You would like me to be." After the Mass, there was a chance to purchase a book of Archbishop Mokrzycki: "He liked Tuesdays the most", "A place for everyone", and "The Secretary of two Popes", each signed by the Archbishop. At the end of the evening, Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki, Father Krzysztof Wieliczko, and other priests and members of the board of the Chapter met at a dinner in the hall of the Polish Church.
On Sunday, January 28th, we gathered again at the Mass in the Polish Church of Our Lady of Assumption in Paris. Holy Mass was celebrated by Fr. Krzysztof Wieliczko along with Rector Bogusław Brzyś and Monsignor Stanisław Jeż. Fr. Wieliczko also talked about our great Compatriot St. John Paul II. He said to the people attending the Mass: "Let's take a look at St. John Paull…how His life was steeped in prayer and great, deep faith; how He was able to lead all of us to Almighty God…that the goal over here on Earth is not our true ultimate purpose. It was, in a way, a form of our preparation to eternal life. I'm certain that we all remember the day of His passing to the House of the Father. That day, He marked especially, as when His Secretary was looking for the best doctors to save His life, He quietly, but very firmly whispered: "Let me go to the House of my Father." He was ready. He knew that in eternity our good-natured Father is waiting for Him. (…) At the end, Father Wieliczko expressed special thanks to the Rector of the PCM, who is always very benevolent of the Foundation, as well as to the President of the Chapter, Daniel Brzakowski and all members of the Chapter. He said: "All, who belong to the Chapters of the John Paul II Foundation in a special way love John Paul II and our holy Mother Church." Fr. Wieliczko encouraged all not to stop on our daily life, but to let our daily life lead us into holiness; to give God at least a little more than just a Sunday Mass. At the end Father added that "join prayer means a lot in your pilgrimage of faith! Thus, please do not stop in this pilgrimage, so we all could see each other at the throne of Almighty God; this is my wish to you and to me."
We are grateful to Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki and Father Krzysztof Wieliczko for their presence among us, for our meeting at the Embassy, our prayers and homilies during holly Masses. We wish a lot of strength and God's blessings throughout the year 2018.

The angel has always been in the temple. Nathaniel has lived through countless ages, but now the Khmer is coming in force, and there is no resisting them. Nathaniel cowers in a hidden cave as death awaits him at the hands of the Khmer. Laura and Belle Donovan have just arrived in Cairo to view the pyramids in typical tourist fashion. While visiting a shop, Laura stumbles upon a quill pen she is sure her father, Gabriel, will love. But as soon as the pen arrives at Gabriel's villa in Buenos Aires, he is shocked. The last time he saw a similar feather was in a laboratory where scientists were laboring to uncover the secret of the angels' longevity. Perplexed, Gabriel sends the feather to a lab for tests-which reveal that the feather has been recently plucked. Somewhere out in the world is another one of Gabriel's people. Without knowing whether the angel is alive or dead, Gabriel embarks on a global journey to find him-and the sooner the better. In frantic search to find the last surviving angel, Gabriel must not only rescue his wife and daughter from peril, but also himself as he strives for a long-awaited reunion with one of his own.He asked for a porter to take his cases out to his hire car, to make sure the staff there got a look at it, and then drove off down the ... a Land-rover, as they were the most common, and were not likely to have any electronic locking devices or immobilizers. The doors were open, and it would take little effort to hot-wire the car.

'Downton Abbey': 10 highlights from the new book
British TV series 'Downton Abbey' took America by storm when it aired on PBS last January. Season 2's coming this Sunday, but late last year, Jessica Fellowes (niece of series creator Julian Fellowes) wrote a book about the 'Downton Abbey' characters, the estate they live on, and the real-life facts that inspired this story of aristocrats and the servants who wait on them. Here are 10 highlights from Fellowes' new book. (The book has some Season 2 spoilers, but don't worry – none will be revealed here.)
1. It takes many kitchen maids to make one Daisy
In the series, meek Daisy is the sole assistant to crotchety cook Mrs. Patmore. "In a house this size, there would normally be a scullery maid, who did the washing up; a vegetable maid, who prepared the vegetables; and a stillroom maid who did the baking," creator Julian Fellowes says in the book. "For the purposes of narration, we amalgamated several maids' jobs into one for Daisy."

Romney would not revoke Obama's illegal immigrant DREAM Act
Republican nominee Mitt Romney had a burrito at Chipotle with Sen. Rob Portman on Tuesday in Denver — the city where the national Tex-Mex chain began. That same day, he announced he would not revoke the two-year work-permits being given by President Barack Obama to roughly 1.26 million illegal immigrants.
He also released a Spanish-language TV ad and posted a pro-immigration statement aimed at Hispanic voters that criticized Obama's "temporary, stop-gap measure" to defer deportation for select young illegals.
The ad, titled "Legado," highlighted Obama's economic record, which has pushed the national debt to $16 trillion and youth unemployment to near 50 percent.
Romney's late-campaign reach for Hispanic voters came as yet another poll showed him performing poorly among Democratic-leaning Hispanics.
"Fifty-one percent of Latino voters in ten battleground states said they trust Obama and the Democrats more to make the right decisions and improve economic conditions, compared to 27 percent for Romney and Republicans," according to a poll conducted by Latino Decisions, which tracks Hispanic political views.
Overall, "in the battleground states Obama gets 61 percent of the [Hispanic] voters versus 33 percent for Romney," the tracking poll showed.
Obama has vigorously pursued those Hispanic voters with offers of economic aid, government health care and deferred deportations for family members and friends, regardless of skill levels or national unemployment.
These offers are especially effective because immigrant and native Hispanics have been hard hit by the economic downturn during Obama's presidency.
The economy is suffering from record unemployment and a simultaneous drop in wages, as well as a continued drop in housing prices and family wealth.
However, even if Romney's outreach fails to boost his numbers among Hispanics, it might keep him near 30 percent, and also reduce overall turnout among Hispanics, who have been hit hard by record unemployment in Obama's economy.
A lower turnout could cost Obama twice as many votes as it would cost Romney.
Nonetheless, Romney's outreach to Hispanics also makes it harder for him to play the immigration card in to win the votes of white working-class and middle-class voters in the Midwest.
Fifty-seven percent of "white working-class Americans … agree that illegal immigrants taking jobs that would otherwise be filled by American citizens are responsible for our current economic problems," according to an August survey of 2,501 Americans by the Public Religion Research Institute.
Romney needs their vote to overcome Obama's advantages among women, African-Americans and union members. But an August survey by the Pew Research Center showed that Romney is trailing among working-class whites by 36 to 44 percent in the Midwest. (RELATED: Analysis: In Obama's economy, immigrants outpace native-born Americans)
"Mitt Romney will keep in place any temporary waivers and work permits the Obama Administration grants. … These young people have already been subject to enough uncertainty and politicking; Mitt Romney will not add to it," said an Oct. 2 statement from Dimple Gupta, legal policy adviser for Romney.
The Romney campaign's statement then promised easier immigration for current immigrants' immediate family members, regardless of education or of skill level, and also promised to import more workers for the economy.
President Romney will "cut red tape that is burdening legal immigrants and keeping immediate family members apart [and] ensure we admit the workers our economy needs to grow and create jobs," read the statement.
Gupta said Romney will "find a solution for the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the shadows — including those who were brought to America as children," the statement continued.

Actress Tara Reid has denied engagement rumours after fans confused a piece of costume jewellery for a diamond ring.
The American Pie star is currently in Australia filming new horror movie Charlie's Farm, and on Sunday (23Mar14), she uploaded a picture on Twitter.com of her wearing a bikini on a beach.
But it wasn't the star's figure which caught her fans' attention - it was the sparkling ring on the third finger of her left hand.
Followers bombarded Reid with questions about a possible engagement, but the star has revealed the jewellery was purely for her character.
She later took to the microblogging website to respond to the rumours, writing, "I'm not engaged its costume from my new movie LOL (laugh out loud)."
Reid wed Zack Kehayov in Greece in 2011, but the marriage was over after just two months.
