When Evan came into Candice's life in 2014, it was at a time when those around her were telling her she needed to prioritize looking for love in the same way she prioritized her work. Her colleagues and employees were so serious about it they threatened to make a Tinder profile for her, pushing her into action.
"Clearly they thought I needed a boyfriend," she jokes, thinking back to her single days. At their behest, she set up an account, worked on her profile and was surprised to find that she immediately matched with Evan. Her first impression from their conversation was that he was nice. She also gleaned that he was "serious" about getting to know her, because he asked her to meet up with him for dinner. From there, sparks flew.
"When Evan walked into the restaurant, I immediately thought he was extremely handsome in person," she says. "He had a classic grown man swag about him. From the minute we started talking at that restaurant I knew that we would be together and we have been together ever since."
Evan also walked away from their first meeting knowing she was something special. As they went from dating to a serious relationship over the years, that feeling was affirmed.
"When I first met Candice, I was blown away by her positivity and encouraging ways," he says. "I've never been so encouraged by someone to really show what I could do and [who] also enjoyed doing so many things with me. We laughed, traveled, dined, and enjoyed each other's company. She encouraged and supported me in [ways] I never knew and I started to feel like we could do anything together. I loved our time together and time apart became harder and harder. That's when I knew I found the one."
After a proposal on a day that Candice now credits as the "best worst day of my life" (more on that later), the couple looked ahead to their future. Despite having to postpone their nuptials for an entire year due to COVID, they made their love official on July 5, 2021 in front of the family and friends they couldn't imagine celebrating without the year prior. They said "I do" near the ocean in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
"Our wedding day was a dream," she says in retrospect. "Every detail was perfect. It was more than I could ever ask for."

The Bride's Tribe
We just love this shot of Candice's bridesmaids seeing her all just dressed up for the ceremony for the first time. We're pretty sure a "Yaaaaas" was uttered by a few ladies.

A Toast
The groom and his groomsmen toasted to Evan entering the next major chapter of his life and love story with Candice.
Beau Ridge Photography
When the Bride Knew She Found the One
"I knew Evan was going to be my husband after he nursed me back to health after tearing my ACL," she says. "People know marriage vows to include 'for better or worse, through sickness & health.' Evan truly displayed that. He at the time was traveling up and down the east coast for a very demanding job. He stopped everything he was doing to ensure that I was taken care of. I knew then that we would get married."
How the Groom Knew He'd Found the One
After feeling loved, supported and encouraged by Candice over the course of their relationship, Evan realized he couldn't do without her.
"I loved our time together and each time apart became harder and harder and that's when I knew I had found the one," he says.
Beau Ridge Photography
The Proposal
Evan popped the question to Candice after an event she threw that just so happened to be chaotic. A concert she put on wasn't going as planned and she was dealing with angry customers. Things went better with the after-party though, especially when Evan took the stage.
"All of a sudden I hear 'Candice Davis please report to the stage!' I thought to myself, 'awwwww man what now?' Little did I know my life would change. Evan began by holding my hand and telling the crowd, 'I want to let you all know how special this lady is.' I thought he was saying that because he knew everyone had been upset with me, but he went on to get on one knee and said, "and I would like to ask her to be my wife." He pulled out a Tiffany box and handed me the microphone. I said 'YES!' Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. It was the best worst day of my life."
Beau Ridge Photography
The Venue
The Jersey natives checked out multiple venues when searching for where they would tie the knot, but before they even started, Candice knew she wanted them to wed at One Atlantic Events in Atlantic City.
"It was exactly our style. Modern, chic, 360 views of the ocean, gourmet chef on staff…it was amazing," she says. "Once we left seeing the space, Evan agreed that it was where we needed to get married. The next day we put down a deposit."
Beau Ridge Photography
Winning Wardrobe
"After we locked in the venue we started talking wardrobe," Candice says. "We weren't going to have a theme but we knew everyone in the wedding had to have a 'look.' That is Evan's department. He immediately started putting together mood boards of outfits for the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Then we landed on the blush pink and navy colors. We used those colors throughout all the décor. We coordinated those colors throughout the entire wedding."
Beau Ridge Photography
In Memoriam
A sweet and sentimental idea, a few chairs during the ceremony were left open. On top of them were framed photos of loved ones who passed away, like Candice's father.
Beau Ridge Photography
The Most Memorable Moment for the Groom
"I had been trying to distract myself all day, laughing and joking with my groomsmen, from the thought of seeing Candice walk down the aisle. I had seen so many videos of men breaking down at the sight of their bride. I didn't know if that would happen to me. We didn't do a first look so when she came down the aisle, it was the first time I saw her in her gown looking like the Queen that she is. The doors opened up and it seemed like time stopped for a minute. All I could see was my beautiful wife. I didn't cry as she walked down the aisle but once I began to say my vows the tears just started to stream down my face. The joy that came over me in that moment was overwhelming."
Beau Ridge Photography
The Bride's Most Memorable Moment
It was writing her vows. Right before the wedding, she walked down the beach and reflected over the fact that the same place she was going to say "I do" was around the same place she got one of her first jobs.
"I looked over to the wedding venue and I just started to cry. It was such a full circle moment," she says. "The girl who worked so hard making it to the top of her career that her employees forced her to slow down to find love, was marrying that man. I had thrown an event in my wedding venue early in my career fresh out of college. I thought to myself back then I would never be able to have a wedding in this place and that was the exact place I was getting married.
I sat down on the sand with the sun on my face, the sound of the ocean in the background and I wrote my vows to the love of my life. It was a moment that I wish I could live in forever."
Beau Ridge Photography
Greeting Guests
The guests were very important to the couple, including Dr. Reverend James Lewis III, who married the couple. He was a best friend of Candice's late father and she refers to him as her uncle.
"We were supposed to get married 7.5.20 but we postponed one full year to 7.5.21. We did that because I knew I needed the presence of my uncle and love of our family and friends to anoint our marriage. We could have easily gone to the courthouse but it would have not been as special."

Life as Mr. and Mrs.
"As Evan would say, we were already married before the big fancy party," Candice says. "I love married life. I enjoy coming home every day to someone I know has my back no matter what. Evan is my biggest blessing. I don't what my life would look like without him in it. We continue to work on our businesses that we run and manage our Airbnb properties. We released our first book together, 'It Starts With I Do: Our Wedding Journey' on September 15. We will continue our podcast The Little Miss Entertainment Show and The Awesome Nobody Podcast. We look forward to traveling the world and starting a family some day soon!"

Diana Ross has been confirmed as the first act for Glastonbury 2020, where she'll take on the revered Legends slot.
"To all my fans across the world, this is my tribute to you," Ross said.
"Every concert feels like a private party, I can see your eyes and feel your hearts. I'm coming to Glastonbury, with love."
The Supremes legend will appear on the Sunday (June 28) of the iconic festival, tackling the teatime slot that has previously played host to the likes of Kylie Minogue, Dolly Parton and Lionel Richie.
Confirming the slot, Glastonbury wrote on Twitter: "We are delighted to announce that @DianaRoss will play the Sunday legends slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2020."
Glasto boss Emily Eavis added: "I am delighted to say that one of the all-time greats, the wonderful Diana Ross, is coming to Glastonbury to play the Sunday legend slot on the Pyramid next year."
This is a dream come true. To all the fans across the world, this is my tribute to you. I'm coming to Glastonbury, with love. #Glastonbury2020 @GlastoFest pic.twitter.com/Zt0Ylt7TmK
— Ms. Ross (@DianaRoss) October 10, 2019
I am delighted to say that one of the all-time greats, the wonderful Diana Ross, is coming to Glastonbury to play the Sunday legend slot on the Pyramid next year.
— Emily Eavis (@emilyeavis) October 10, 2019
The appearance will see Ross making her Glastonbury debut, having been linked with an appearance on several past occasions.
It comes after Kylie Minogue graced the Legends slot in 2019, some 14 years after her battle with breast cancer forced her to pull out of a headline slot.
Her Legends slot went on to become the BBC's most-watched Glastonbury performance of all time, with 3.9 million viewers tuning in.
Confirmation of Ross' performance comes after Glastonbury tickets for 2020 sold out in 34 minutes last Sunday – with a record 2.4 people attempting to get their hands on just 135,000 places.
Meanwhile, anticipation has been gathering around who could headline Glastonbury 2020 to mark the festival's 50th anniversary. Rumoured acts include Paul McCartney, Foals, The 1975, Taylor Swift, Green Day and Fleetwood Mac among others.

Austin Kearns seems to be one of the hot names in baseball these days, and Pittsburgh is now possibly taking a look at him:
A handful of players who fit the Pirates' model are known to be available through trade. That includes three of note who are significantly younger than Burnitz, 35, and are on the block because of crowded outfields with their current employers:Austin Kearns, 24, of the Cincinnati Reds has regressed slightly the past two seasons but already has 37 home runs in 253 career games. He will make $930,000 next season. The Reds are thought to be seeking a pitching prospect.
Asked if he would part with a pitching prospect -- the strength of the Pirates' system -- to improve the offense, Littlefield replied, "Absolutely. We realize, in our analysis, we've got more pitching at all levels than we do position players. Those types of things have been discussed, and I'm sure that will continue."
Pittsburgh does have some decent pitching, but I'm always a bit wary of dealing with divisional rivals.
This guy would look pretty good wearing red.

The chief executive of Massachusetts' second-largest hospital system said Monday that he would give up half his salary amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Dr. Kevin Tabb said he'll take a 50 percent pay cut for the next three months. In addition, more than two dozen other executives will receive 20 percent salary cuts.
Hospitals are scrambling to respond to growing numbers of coronavirus patients, but they're also facing financial challenges because they've dramatically reduced elective procedures and non-urgent medical appointments.
"Given these realities, we are instituting changes to executive leadership compensation," Tabb said in an email to employees Monday. "These actions are appropriate for leaders to take in challenging times."
Tabb earned base salary of about $1.1 million in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available. Including bonuses and other compensation, he earned $1.8 million that year. Tabb has since been promoted from chief executive of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to CEO of its parent company, which launched in 2019.
All senior leaders at Beth Israel Lahey Health, the presidents of its 12 hospitals, and the head of its affiliated physician group, Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians, will receive pay cuts, Tabb told employees.
But most of the workforce, including front-line doctors and nurses, will continue earning their normal salaries, Beth Israel Lahey Health officials said. Some employees are on paid leave because their jobs have been sidelined during the pandemic.
Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians is suspending contributions to doctors' retirement plans and other changes affecting bonuses amid the crisis.
On Monday, hospitals across Beth Israel Lahey Health collectively were caring for 149 patients with confirmed COVID-19, and another 254 patients who were awaiting test results. Meanwhile, 158 employees also have tested positive for the virus.

Gates open at 4:30 p.m. Showtime is 5:30 p.m.
There's a lot more information at OldGroveFestival.org.

The very large woman taunted me from behind bulletproof glass. I could almost hear the mockery when she pointed at the iron gate separating me from my car. Listen now, Mr. Dallas Lawdog, law don't go 'round here, savvy? TJ's Towing Service had my car, the big lady guarded the gate, and I either forked over $140 and my dignity, or I walked around Dallas for the rest of the summer while studying for the bar exam.
As I snatched my receipt from the sliding metal tray, two things occurred to me. Actually, three. First, Madame TJ's drawl was so vicious that she turned the word "car" into a three-syllable assault. (Can you use it in a sentence, please? "I don't care if you're gonna sue my ass, 'cause we got your ka-AW-er.") Second, it now made perfect sense why the bulletproof glass looked like it had been tested.
It was the third thought, slow-roasting, that started something more important for me. This can't be right. How can some company drag my car miles across town and hold it for ransom? Then a little stronger: These are bad people. How do I nail 'em? And then the epiphany: Whatever it takes, I will.
MY FIRST-EVER SETTLEMENT CHECK—$640 from ol' TJ himself—arrived on the very day I started work at a large Dallas law firm. Good thing, too, because it paid for both of my suits and the empty leather briefcase perched on my new desk. All through the three-day orientation, I felt like I could throw on my costume in a phone booth.
Face it. Times are grand for a new lawyer at a big firm. Money, a sense of empowerment, idealistic dreams of justice, money—they flow from the cup when that offer lands after a summer internship. And, listen, nobody really goes into the job thinking he doesn't have to work hard. The few geniuses who actually think their poop don't stink after the recruiting romance usually weed themselves out long before the partnership distributes the first year-end bonus.
The truth is that most young lawyers at White & Shoe* really want to work, and they expect to bust their butts right off the bat. The majority are proud of conquering law school, eager to crank out top-notch work, and willing to suck up the long hours in return for the starting salary and long-term prosperity. I was no different. I craved a full case load and a full briefcase, and I hit the ground running. I was a trial lawyer. TJs of the world, bring it on.
IN MY SECOND MONTH AT THE FIRM, THE BAR results came in. I passed. That night, all but an unlucky handful of first-years at the large firms hit the town hard. Legitimacy came with a massive but well-earned hangover.
Two weeks later, we all faced the required "New Lawyer Orientation," a rite of passage to suffer through while skipping a full day of work. A cozy morning of coffee and the Dallas Morning News' SportsDay in some auditorium actually sounded good for a Friday.
But after a few lectures on ethics (Don't double-bill your clients) and more ethics (Don't help your clients double-bill their clients), a middle-aged guy took the stage and told the first five rows of new attorneys to stand up. I was safe in the back row, watching 20 percent of the audience drop their bagels and stare at one another nervously.
"Everyone, take a good look," the man said as they rose. "These are your colleagues, your co-workers, your friends. And before your career is over, they will all be alcoholics or drug addicts." Nervous pause, stunned silence, mayhem. What the hell was he talking about? I folded my SportsDay.
"I am a lawyer, and I am an alcoholic." He continued, appreciating the stir: "So are 15,000 other attorneys in this state. The Texas Lawyers' Assistance Program is here for you." I felt like I needed to ice down my groin.
Over drinks that night, our crew of lawyer buddies discussed the full-frontal delivered at the orientation. Shock value, right? Must have been, because we knew lots of lawyers and didn't know any addicts. Surely it couldn't be that horrible to practice law. It's a time-honored profession, and why should ours be different from any other? Maybe those figures were just national averages. By closing time, we decided that the addicts among us needed to suck it up and rub some dirt in it. Life just isn't that bad.
LIFE GOT PRETTY BAD A FEW WEEKS LATER WHEN a partner I had never met sent my first real assignment by e-mail. Lucky day. I was nominated for the Document Review Team on a large merger involving Client A and Behemoth B. In Ohio.
To the uninitiated, a "document review" sounds like just that: a review of substantive documents, with attorneys poring over them to prevent mistakes, ensure compliance with the law, develop legal strategies, and add value to a client's business venture. But "document review" is a term of art. If there were an entry for it in Black's Law Dictionary, it would read:
Document review (n.)
1. A legal phenomenon composed of lots of paper, stored in lots of boxes, containing information nobody understands.
2. The art of charging a client to review lots of paper, stored in lots of boxes, containing information nobody understands.
3. See "indumbnification."
The Cliff's Notes version is that a document review is the quintessential ass-whip of a young lawyer's career. It taxes the soul and leaves the lawyer dumber for his effort. How could this be happening to me? I had wrongs to right, for God's sake, and this was no way to go about it.
James Worth, another first-year at the firm, was a "cc" on the document review e-mail. I called him to discuss our plight and figure a way out of it. Unfortunately, James was a good guy with a can-do attitude, and he pointed out that we had no other cases that required our immediate attention, no street cred at the firm, and hours to bill. We were screwed.
So the 14-hour days in an Ohio Marriott began. Though I have blocked out most of that experience, suffice it to say that after several weeks and 340 boxes of paper, James and I finished cleaning the stable. We were tired, pissed off, and measurably dumber, but at least we made it. I brought that knowledge home to Dallas with a badge of honor, a little chip on my shoulder, and hundreds of billable hours in the bank. Yet one thought nagged at me: during the entire experience, I had not taken a single step toward becoming a real trial lawyer.
JAMES WORTH WAS THE THIRD ASSOCIATE FROM the litigation section to leave the firm during our fourth year of practice. He completed his stint with several more document reviews, one deposition, and no hearings under his belt. James was married and had two kids, yet he quit before he had even lined up another job. "Home Depot will give me a name badge and a tool belt," he told me, and he was serious. He was tired of working nights and weekends, sick of "hot grounder" assignments from partners on Friday evenings that sat on their desks for two weeks. He was fed up with phrases like "hot grounder." And, most of all, James hated the idea that big-firm lawyers never go to trial.
James was right. Many lawyers at large firms make partner without ever trying a case in front of a jury. We were fast becoming settlement lawyers—preparing cases to settle through mountains of paperwork that run the cost of litigation sky high. Commercial clients run businesses, and in the business world, the bottom line rules. Too often Right v. Wrong and Good v. Evil result in the Compromise Settlement and Mutual Release on the eve of trial. At the end of the day, only Risk v. Reward is consistently tried.
Worse, a young lawyer might have no input in settling a case other than drafting legal briefs at a partner's bidding. At large firms where client relationships carry the day, the partner on the case often covets the client contact, the depositions, and the hearings. All the fun lawyer stuff. Nothing is as demoralizing as cranking all night on a research memo only to hear Partner tell Client about the great idea he'd come up with. Now get back to your document review.
And that's what the firm didn't seem to get. Young lawyers were leaving in droves, some within a year or two of making partner. Few, if any, left to take jobs at another large firm. Many joined small plaintiffs' firms to try personal injury cases, and others switched careers entirely. Why? "Couldn't hack it." "Not willing to step it up." "Sense of entitlement." None of that was true.
It was Purpose. Associates want a sense of purpose from the practice of law. If you have it, you can tolerate all the other crap. Long hours. Bureaucratic managers. Vindictive supervisors. Credit hogs. Just an ounce of participation in real-life justice and those daily beatings seem worthwhile.
But you can't find Purpose in the library or the warehouse doing document review. You sure as hell won't find it helping Partner settle a case for Faceless Client at Nameless Corporation for eight to 10 years. That brutal reality drives talented lawyers out of our industry and drives others to the bottle.
When James Worth stopped by my office on his way out the door, I swear he was two inches taller. I decided right then that if I was going to make it as a trial lawyer, I had to find me some Purpose.
I NEVER DID FIND PURPOSE. INSTEAD, LIKE MOST good things that happen in my life, Purpose found me. It landed right in my lap in my fifth year of practice as I was staring out my office windows, wondering if they opened.
"John Savage." I always answered my phone very officially, just in case a magazine reporter or Partner Supervisor rang.
"Johnny, it's Todd. Need your help with something." Todd was a young partner in our real estate section who had recruited me to the firm, and he had been at my bachelor party that summer. I owed him for his friendship and his silence. "I have a client I did a lease for my first year who needs a litigator, and he can't pay our rates. Got any referrals?"
"Sure," I said. "Send him down and we'll talk about his problem, no charge. I'll find someone for him."
When Joseph Daniel and his wife Sue stepped into my office five minutes later, I never suspected my life was about to change.
The Daniels owned four convenience stores in North Dallas. When they opened the first, they plunked down all their cash and took out a second mortgage. Joe was a hell of a salesman, Sue dominated the books, and within two years they had paid off their loans and bought two competitors. Jo-See Mart was negotiating the purchase of its fourth location when Dr. Abbas came calling.
The Good Doctor proposed a business partnership that would take Joe and Sue to new heights. He owned 26 stores across the city and drove a Bentley. Through his corporate office at 210 Lincoln Center, Abbas had a management staff that would take over Jo-See's operations and pay the Daniels into retirement. All they had to do was sign a purchase and management agreement that gave day-to-day control to Abbas, and he would take care of the rest. Joe and Sue signed both the agreement and a nasty noncompete.
When Jo-See Mart's four stores showed huge losses at the end of the year, the Daniels realized they were in serious trouble. Worse, Abbas blamed their accounting and claimed that Sue had doctored the books to trick him into the purchase agreement. Abbas was forced to sell Jo-See Mart to something called the Convenience Corp. for a loss. And now he threatened to sue the Daniels if they even thought of opening a competing store.
What could I do? My hands were tied. The purchase agreement was airtight, and this nice couple had no money to pay our legal fees. When Joe offered his son's college fund to pay us a retainer, I politely declined. That wouldn't pay for one week of litigation at White & Shoe.
I gave Joe a list of three small firms in town that might take a $5,000 retainer to negotiate the Daniels out of their noncompete, but it truly seemed hopeless. The family didn't have enough money to open another store, even if they wanted to start all over. When I walked the couple out to our elevators, I could sense what they were thinking. But instead of being angry, Sue shook my hand.
"Thanks for listening," she said.
Those words were still in my ears as I scoured the web site for the Texas Secretary of State that night. I figured I could at least help get them a referral and run a conflict check. Who was the Convenience Corp., anyway? And what kind of "doctor" was Abbas?
When I pulled up the franchise tax form on the state web site, all I learned was that the Convenience Corp. ran its operations from 210 Lincoln Center. Well would you look at that. What a coincidence. That lying doctor now owned 30 convenience stores in our city.
I MUST HAVE SEEMED DESPERATE, OR A LITTLE crazy, when I sat across the desk from the firm's senior litigation partner the next morning. For all my preparation and rehearsing, my pitch to take the Daniels' case on a contingent-fee basis was nothing but a plea to the man's heart. It made no financial sense, and I couldn't explain why this case should be different from the dozens of others the firm turns down every month. But it was. And the partner sensed it. And he said yes. At that moment, all the hours, all the years, all the document reviews were worth it. I was going to be a lawyer after all.
DR ABBAS WORE THE MOST EXPENSIVE SUIT I have ever seen. When he took the witness stand before the jury, it was obvious his four lawyers had coached him well. His testimony was concise and polished. He flipped through piles of documents and spoke a financial language no one understood.
When I stood to cross-examine him, I wondered whether the jury could tell that I had no idea what to do. I was outclassed. Years of drafting documents and scouring contracts had not prepared me to expose the true nature of a man before his peers. I couldn't even speak.
I looked back at the Daniels. They were holding hands so tightly that their knuckles were white. Then I remembered that this trial wasn't about me. I turned back to Abbas and forgot everything I knew about the law.
"Good morning, sir," I said, looking Abbas in the eye.
"Good morning," he responded. He waited for my next question, but I didn't ask one. I just looked at him, for a good 30 seconds. Finally, it happened. Abbas moved in his seat, cleared his throat, and adjusted his glasses. His hand was shaking. It was time to move.
"Are you a doctor?" I asked. I don't know why I fired off that question; it wasn't part of my script. But I guessed it wasn't part of his script either.
And I was right.
Abbas took a few seconds, looked over at his cadre of attorneys, and finally responded.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you a doctor, Mr. Abbas?"
The "doctor's" five-minute answer failed to produce a "yes" or "no." He was lying, and the jurors knew it. From then on, he was mine.
THE DANIELS MAY NEVER COLLECT ON THEIR multimillion-dollar judgment against Abbas, though they now own a good number of his stores. The firm may never see a dime of its contingent-fee percentage. And I may never get to trial again. But at least I found Purpose in the strangest of places, and my firm gained a real attorney.
Lawyers define the law firm. I define the lawyer. Not the other way around.
Now, who owns all these towing companies, anyway?

How We Did It
D Magazine mailed postcards to 2,500 Dallas attorneys, asking them to go to our web site (www.dmagazine.com) and vote for lawyers under the age of 40 who represent the best of the profession. Anyone with a valid Bar number was eligible to vote.
We posed the following question: which young Dallas lawyer, of those whose work you've witnessed firsthand, would you rank among the current best? With that question in mind, lawyers were asked to provide three names—one from inside their firms and two from outside their firms. Nominations could include co-counsel, lawyers they have observed in court, and opposing counsel.They had to vote for two attorneys from outside their own firms for the same-firm votes to count.
That said, we took great pains to prevent any bias in favor of large firms and to prevent ballot-box stuffing. A large number of same-firm votes didn't guarantee a best listing. Only ballots signed by the attorney with his or her State Bar number were counted. We also enlisted the help of a panel of well-respected local lawyers to review the list. At the recommendation of the panel, to ensure the integrity of our list of the Best Lawyers Under 40, the managing partners of the biggest law firms in Dallas were asked to approve the list of top vote-getters from their respective firms. (This means the managing partner at Akin Gump, for example, approved the top vote-getters from Akin Gump. No managing partner saw the entire list.) The list was finalized after this second round of reviews.

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we're up to by signing up here.
This morning we put together a list of 2012's most hotly anticipated store openings, among them Balenciaga in Soho. It's been a while since we checked in with them, so this afternoon we headed over to 148 Mercer Street to scope out the progress.
So far, things seem to be moving slowly. A sizable team of men in hard hats were renovating as we watched—presumably working on the "dramatic, open, column-free space" that we heard about last June. But Balenciaga itself won't start work on the store until this summer. We're sure the space, and those gorgeous bags, will be worth the wait.—Jamie Cooper

In this short artistic piece for BravoFact, directed by Annie Bradley, we were given the opportunity to work on this project from the beginning, from assisting in recording the live operatic audio track to video editing to final delivery. John-Marc was at the church to assist in recording the original track using an eight-track digital recorder to better allow us to edit the audio in the mix to suit the final edited video stream. Robert was given the task of editing the video performance in a very short 48hrs turnaround to provide the piece for premiere at Bravo.

Fiberglass tubs, showers and one-piece units can develop stress cracks or even structural cracks. It is important to take care of even small cracks before they become large cracks and start to leak. Water trapped beneath the fixture can lead to water damage or mold. Fortunately, Miracle Method can repair the cracks and restore the appearance of your fiberglass bathtub or shower.
Once we have made the fiberglass repair we can refinish your unit. This provides a cohesive and updated look. Choose from one of our solid colors or our Natural Accents® stone-look finishes. Your refinished tub or shower is complete in 2-3 days and can renew the entire look of your bathroom.
We can repair extensive damage including tub or shower bottoms that need to be rebuilt. Over time, flexing of the fiberglass causes the bottom to crack. By rebuilding with fiberglass cloth and resin, a repaired bottom is typically stronger than brand new. Check with us before you replace the tub or shower as most often we can repair them.
Bathtub or shower pans can develop low spots. We can also fix these areas by leveling the shower or tub bottom creating a rebuilt, leak proof floor. Many times the shower pans that we repair and refinish look even better than new!
If you are ready for your damaged surfaces to look and feel new, contact Miracle Method today!

FRANCE'S PRESIDENTIAL RACE hit a dramatic pitch in the only face-to-face debate between President Nicolas Sarkozy and front-running challenger Francois Hollande — a verbal slugfest that broke little new ground on substance but exposed big differences in style.
Sarkozy, struggling to keep his job, came out slugging, assailing Socialist Hollande's plans to raise taxes and boost spending, repeatedly accusing him of lying. The Socialist Hollande held his own in a fight that many expected would be dominated by the sharp-tongued Sarkozy.
Sarkozy, an America-friendly conservative who has linked up with Germany's Angela Merkel to try to get Europe's finances in order, is facing an uphill battle ahead of Sunday's balloting: He has not led Hollande in a single poll this year.
The debate had shaped up as Sarkozy's last stand, and last chance to draw blood against Hollande, who has been methodical in an almost picture-perfect campaign to avoid gaffes and erase any doubts about his ability to lead a nuclear-armed nation with a permanent U.N. Security Council seat.
"It's a lie! It's a lie!" Sarkozy insisted in one heated exchange on economic policies. The Socialist contender, meanwhile, forcefully denied some of Sarkozy's claims about his intentions, insisting, "I never said that."
The campaign has largely focused on domestic issues such as the weak economy, immigration, and integration of French Muslims. Yet the outcome is considered crucial to the rest of Europe as well because France is a major economic engine at a time when the eurozone is trying to climb out of a debt crisis.
Sarkozy says France needs to do more to cut spending and debts, while Hollande favors government-funded stimulus programs. Both have pushed for similar approaches for the rest of the continent, too.
'Call for unity'
Sarkozy lashed at out at his critics, especially regarding his handling of the economy, while noting Hollande's lack of government experience.
Hollande called for national unity and social justice, repeatedly using one of his campaign catchwords: "rassemblement," or "bringing together" — to stress the contrast between him and the divisive Sarkozy.
Sarkozy said he's being unfairly blamed for France's economic problems after years of crisis, and insisted he's not "the only guilty one."
"Mr. Sarkozy, you would have a hard time passing for a victim," Hollande riposted. "It's never your fault. You always have a scapegoat. 'It's not me, it's the crisis that hit me.'"
Sarkozy said Hollande's economic plans would send France's debt through the roof and hurt the rest of Europe.
Hollande criticized tax reforms under Sarkozy seen by leftists as too friendly to the rich. "We are coming out of five years where France was struck down, where France was divided," Hollande said.
Sarkozy countered, "Saying that we offered gifts to the rich … is slander. It's a lie."
At this, Hollande laughed.
YouTube: Al Jazeera
Both the Socialists and conservatives have sought ways to lure voters who during the first round cast their ballots for Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right anti-immigrant National Front party. Le Pen won a stunning 18 percent of the first-round vote.
Sarkozy denounced those who compared him to France's Nazi collaborators because of his tough campaign rhetoric on immigrants, or to billion-dollar investment swindler Bernard Madoff.
"Borders are not a bad word," Sarkozy said about his calls to limit the number of immigrants France takes in.
Hollande, meanwhile, took a similar position to Sarkozy when it came to special treatment for France's large Muslim community.
He said he would not allow separate menus in public cafeterias or separate hours in swimming pools for men and women to satisfy Muslims' demands, and also said he would firmly support France's ban on the face-covering Islamic veils.
Sarkozy took a predator pose from the outset, leaning forward on the desk through much of the debate. Hollande frequently leaned back in his chair, raising his voice less often, and at one point even appeared to yawn.
Sarkozy's assertive posture, in another setting, could be seen as a good thing for a debate. But one of the things his critics dislike most about him is a personality seen as too aggressive, so it may not work in his favor.
The contenders quibbled over statistics, at times over small margins; they scoffed sarcastically; and they spoke over each other, pointed fingers and raised their voices. The two presenters repeatedly pleaded about running over time.
Above all, the two men bared their familiarity with each other after years as stalwarts of their respective parties. Often their points came across as nitpicky and esoteric.
Sarkozy seemed exasperated at times: At one point, he shook his head brusquely, in another he closed his eyes for a long time when Hollande interrupted him.
Sarkozy put his rival on the back foot during an exchange over illegal immigration, trying to expose inconsistences in his position — even pulling out a letter that Hollande recently wrote to an activist group to make his point.
The debate was preceded by the kind of dramatic build-up normally reserved for a heavyweight boxing championship, even though experts say past debates have never swung a French election, regardless of who comes off better in the televised showdown.

Egypt's Doctors Without Rights questions draft law
CAIRO: Egypt's Doctors Without Rights, an advocacy group for the betterment of health care in the country, said on its Facebook page that they are skeptical of a new draft law for what has been canned the scientific sustainable development in Egypt. Mona Mina, the head of the organization, said that she had received information from local reporters concerning the new draft law to be discussed in the next Parliament session, and worries that it will continue to keep doctors from receiving proper compensation for their efforts.
She added that the new law would continue to maintain the status quo, which has seen the government expenditure on hospitals and equipment continue to drop in recent years.
The new law allegedly provides for the renewal of a permit to practice every 5 years and the renewal would be based on the hours of the accredited training of doctors, where doctors would have to provide proof of their attendance at the training, otherwise the doctor would be given a warning and placed on 6 months probation. Then, if the doctor doesn't provide proof of course attendance, the government would ban his or her right to practice medicine if the doctor does not get the required training.
The group said that while this does not pose any problem on its own, "because training and ongoing study is the basis of medicine, but what raises concerns is about who will bear the expenses for this training?" One of the members of the group wondered, "will the employer bear the expenses of the training courses and the expenses of the transportation, if the headquarters of the courses are far away?"
One member added, "I think it is a necessary condition, because the courses that would require some doctors to travel and accommodation would be expensive, so would doctors have to bear these consequences in addition to their many problems, or would this law include 100 pounds for the doctor as a raise to their salaries?"
The members further questioned the role of the syndicate to publish the draft law, which affects the future of thousands of doctors on its website, and to set a date for an expanded seminar to discuss this law. Doctors Without Rights has asked that a committee of medical professionals identify the main points which would be important to modify, so that when passing the law, "we would guarantee that it expresses the interest of the doctors and not a new law to make these doctors suffer."
Medical workers in Egypt have threatened a number of strikes and have demonstrated regularly in Cairo over poor pay and a lack of quality equipment in order to treat patients. The government has largely remained silent over their demands.

Mass shootings in schools, colleges, movie theaters, churches, concerts and other public spaces have been in the news regularly, leading to disputes over gun control and issues involving
the Second Amendment also in the news, while politicians grapple with how to respond. It is interesting that after a mass shooting, when those who knew the shooter are interviewed, they commonly indicate that there was no way to predict that the shooter would engage in such violence. A large portion of mass shooters, however, appear to have in their past abused and/or committed acts of violence towards women in their lives. Continue reading ›

Question: What provision is there for cleansing of justified believers in the Epiphany Camp, seeing that they do not have access to the Laver in the Court?
Answer: The washing by water of God's Word (John 15: 3) (Ephesians 5: 26) (Hebrews 10: 22) for: (1) the Little Flock and (2) the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies, and no others, is pictured for the Gospel Age by washing at the Laver in the Court by: (1) the Priests and (2) the Levites, and no others.
The cleansing by the Word of justified believers in the Epiphany Camp is typed by Israelites cleansing themselves with water in the Camp – their cleansing with water was separate from that of the Priests and Levites in the Court. In the Camp there was ample provision for the cleansing of the Israelites with water, with the "water of separation" and otherwise (Numbers 19: 9-21) (Leviticus 11: 25; 13: 6; 15: 5, 11).
In Ezekiel 36: 25-33 the Lord shows how He likewise will cleanse His people in the Millennial Age Camp – not by making them Levites and having them wash at the Laver in the Court – but by "sprinkling clean water" (pure truth and righteous influences) upon them, and by giving them a new heart and a new spirit. In other words, they will be cleansed by the Truth, just as Epiphany Campers and all other classes of God's people are cleansed.

Seva Kitchen @ Peppercook Studio,
White Hall, Kemps Corner.
On every Thursday in August, the club joined hands with Anuja Mariwala of Seva
Kitchen's Peppercook Studio to prepare meals for children. Members washed, chopped,
cooked, and packed individual boxes to be distributed to children in the slums. Later, the
ladies washed the utensils, and swept the floors, leaving the kitchen spotlessly clean.
The Geo Roti bank vans picked up the meals to deliver to different areas in Mumbai
where required. It was a wonderful hands-on experience with job satisfaction.
1200 children were fed in August 2021. Members also made individual contributions of tetra milk packs, sweets, rotis, and biscuits in addition to the food.
1200 Dry ration packets were also distributed to the needy.
Ruchika Club's intent was not just about making a cash donation. It was about making a
difference to the lives of people they touched.
