LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has little direct exposure to economic turmoil in Russia, but it is important to weigh up risks to the financial system resulting from the market strife, a senior Bank of England official said on Wednesday.
BoE Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe also said the sharp fall in oil prices was good overall for the global economy and Britain, although policymakers should look beyond one-off effects from energy and food prices.
"What one needs to watch really carefully in a situation like this is whether that change in investor sentiment towards Russia, the volatility that's going on around Russsia, starts to transmit to other markets," Cunliffe told BBC radio.
He added that the core of the financial system was better equipped than it used to be to handle situations like this.

Holby City star Amanda Mealing has revealed that fans will soon see a more "vulnerable" side to her feisty alter ego Connie Beauchamp.
Speaking in an interview with DS, Mealing explained that forthcoming scenes will explore Connie's past and see her become the victim of a physical attack.
The actress teased: "A little bit of her past returns to the hospital which she's keen to get rid of. She doesn't want everyone to know her roots. We start to see a little bit of vulnerability about her.
"I've just been filming a fight scene from which I have massive bruises on my neck! Let's just say that Connie finds herself in a situation where she's attacked - we've not seen her vulnerable side much, so it's great to play."
Mealing added that she wants Connie to become embroiled in more skirmishes at Holby General because she enjoyed filming the dramatic scenes.
She said: "[I'd like to see] a hostage situation at the hospital - a lockdown situation or something! Now I've done my fight scene, I'm up for doing more action scenes!"
Holby City reaches its 500th episode next week. The instalment, titled 'Bette Davis Eyes' airs on Tuesday at 8pm.

I made the mistake of falling to CSS's guilt-tripping, persistent phone calls, and contributed to them. They call me constantly asking for more. Has anyone actually heard of anyone who received SUPPORT from this organization? Their website does not tell you how to seek their support if you have cancer. SCAM!!!!!!

I'm ashamed to admit that I have a load of books that I received for review and for one reason or another have either not read, not finished or reviewed yet….. so when I saw Anna's challenge for this coming year I thought this was just what I needed to do to try and catch up on my reads and reviews!!!

You're the leader of the largest team in the enterprise, and your work is critical to the organization's mission. So you didn't much sweat it when the company hired a new and famous CEO. You've just stayed focused on your own objectives, not the maneuvers of Mr. Bigg and his handpicked team of old friends from past jobs.
But the same can't be said of your top team member Alain. Even though you're his supervisor, you and he have basically worked as equal partners for some time. But his ambition to move up is fairly transparent. And he's a firm believer that it's who you know, not what you know, that gets you ahead.
So Alain has taken quite the shine to Mr. Bigg. He's attended the CEO's "informal get-togethers" and Rotary Club speeches, clipped and read his articles in the business trades, sent him fan letters suggesting process improvements, and who knows what else. You find this more amusing than annoying, as long as Alain g...(register to read more)

Running Red Lights and Stop Signs in Virginia
Penalties and enforcement for running red lights and stop signs in Virginia.
Running a stop sign or red light is one of the most common moving violations (especially popular when police officers must meet their ticket quotas for the month). Here are the basics on the enforcement, defenses and penalties for this offense in Virginia.
Where and How to Stop
Stop signs and traffic lights, sometimes referred to as traffic-control devices, are placed at intersections and crossings requiring the driver to come to a full stop at the "limit line" (a line painted on the street indicating where to stop), or if there is no limit line, at the entrance to the intersection or crossing.
Virginia's Red Light/Stop Sign Law
Virginia's red light and stop sign law states:
§ 46.2-833. Traffic lights; penalty.
A. Signals by traffic lights shall be as follows:
Steady red indicates that moving traffic shall stop and remain stopped as long as the red signal is shown, except in the direction indicated by a steady green arrow.
Green indicates the traffic shall move in the direction of the signal and remain in motion as long as the green signal is given, except that such traffic shall yield to other vehicles and pedestrians lawfully within the intersection.
Steady amber indicates that a change is about to be made in the direction of the moving of traffic. When the amber signal is shown, traffic which has not already entered the intersection, including the crosswalks, shall stop if it is not reasonably safe to continue, but traffic which has already entered the intersection shall continue to move until the intersection has been cleared.
Flashing circular red indicates that traffic shall stop before entering an intersection. Such traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrian and vehicular traffic lawfully within the intersection.
Flashing red arrow indicates that traffic shall stop before entering an intersection. After stopping, traffic may cautiously enter the intersection to turn in the direction of the signal. Such traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrian and vehicular traffic lawfully within the intersection.
Flashing circular amber indicates that traffic may proceed through the intersection or past such signal with reasonable care under the circumstances. Such traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrian and vehicular traffic lawfully within the intersection.
Flashing amber arrow indicates that traffic may turn in the direction of such signal with reasonable care under the circumstances. Such traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrian and vehicular traffic lawfully within the intersection.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a driver of a motorcycle or moped or a bicycle rider approaches an intersection that is controlled by a traffic light, the driver or rider may proceed through the intersection on a steady red light only if the driver or rider (i) comes to a full and complete stop at the intersection for two complete cycles of the traffic light or for two minutes, whichever is shorter, (ii) exercises due care as provided by law, (iii) otherwise treats the traffic control device as a stop sign, (iv) determines that it is safe to proceed, and (v) yields the right of way to the driver of any vehicle approaching on such other highway from either direction.
C. If the traffic lights controlling an intersection are out of service because of a power failure or other event that prevents the giving of signals by the traffic lights, the drivers of vehicles approaching such an intersection shall proceed as though such intersection were controlled by a stop sign on all approaches. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to: intersections controlled by portable stop signs, intersections with law-enforcement officers or other authorized persons directing traffic, or intersections controlled by traffic lights displaying flashing red or flashing amber lights as provided in subsection A.
D. The driver of any motor vehicle may be detained or arrested for a violation of this section if the detaining law-enforcement officer is in uniform, displays his badge of authority, and (i) has observed the violation or (ii) has received a message by radio or other wireless telecommunication device from another law-enforcement officer who observed the violation. In the case of a person being detained or arrested based on a radio message, the message shall be sent immediately after the violation is observed, and the observing officer shall furnish the license number or other positive identification of the vehicle to the detaining officer.
Violation of any provision of this section shall constitute a traffic infraction punishable by a fine of no more than $350.
The fine for running a stop sign or red is $200 - 350 (4 points) and $50 for a red-light camera ticket in Virginia. These fines may change over time and differ by county. Check with the county clerk for the most current fines.
"The Right on Red" Rule
Like most states, Virginia allows drivers to make a turn on a red light in certain situations – typically if there is no sign prohibiting "right on red," and if it is safe to do so under the circumstances.
Left on Red Rule
Virginia permits left turns on red lights provided both the origin and destination streets are one way.
The "Yellow-Light Rule" in Virginia
In Virginia it is not illegal to deliberately drive through a yellow light. A yellow light means only that traffic facing the light is "warned" that a red light will soon follow. As long as your vehicle entered the intersection or passed the crosswalk or limit line before the light turned red, you haven't broken the law.
Possible Defenses:
- The officer could not see your full stop. Occasionally, an officer will park on a cross street so that all is visible is the stop sign and limit line, and maybe a few feet of road in front of the line or sign. A conscientious driver might well come to a complete stop a few feet behind the line where the officer can't see; then, having already stopped as required, drive ahead into the intersection. If this happens to you, you should try to find out where the officer was parked. Later you can take pictures from that location to show just how limited the officer's view was.
- You could not see the stop sign or red light. It may happen that local conditions made the device unviewable to you—for example, leaves from adjacent trees covered or obscured your view of a stop sign until it was too late to stop. This too can be shown with photographic evidence, and establishes the defense that you were neither willful nor criminally negligent in driving through it.
- The "recently installed" defense. One other possible (if rare) defense applies to newly installed devices. For example, it's all too easy to miss seeing a recently installed stop sign on a familiar road. Willfulness or carelessness is an implied essential element of every violation and a judge may find you not guilty if the stop sign wasn't visible until too late, or you didn't realize it had just been installed.
- "Didn't stop at the line" defense. People sometimes get a ticket because they stopped in front of the limit line or crosswalk, rather than behind. If this happens to you, perhaps you can truthfully testify that it hasn't been repainted for so long that it was unnoticeable. Here again, a picture is truly better than a thousand words.
Red Light Cameras
Virginia permits the use of red light cameras – devices that photograph drivers running red lights and automatically issue tickets. Three possible defenses to consider for a red light camera ticket:
- You weren't driving the car. If this is the case, the photograph should demonstrate that someone else was driving your vehicle;
- The yellow light was too short. In some cases, it has been discovered that municipalities have deliberately shortened the duration of yellow lights in order to increase the odds of running the light (and ratcheting up the town's traffic enforcement revenue). If you want to make this claim, you should time the duration of the yellow light to see if it differs substantially from other nearby yellow lights. This argument may not succeed in all states.
- Some states require that warning signs be posted to make you aware of photo enforcement at the upcoming red light. Some states require warning signs for red light cameras. If you can prove that the municipality did not provide warning signage, you may be able to succeed in your red light camera defense. (Photos are essential to this defense.)

Rouen: What to do
For great views visit the glittering Gros-Horloge, the city's 14th-century clock tower meticulously restored in 2006. Nearby, the Church of St Maclou is a gem of Gothic Flamboyant architecture and is close to the Aître Saint Maclou (between 184 and 186 rue Martainville), a cloistered cemetery dating back to the Great Plague.
Dominating Place du Vieux-Marché at the other end of the old town is the extraordinary Church of Joan of Arc, built in the 1970s. It stands on the site of the church of St Vincent that was destroyed during World War II, and contains some of the 16th-century stained glass of the original. But most arresting of all is the bizarrely shaped roof and covered walkway. Just outside the church a tall cross marks the spot where the saint was executed by the English.
At the heart of Rouen, Notre Dame Cathedral is a marvel of Gothic engineering, its façade famously much painted by Monet. You can see one of these works in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, at Esplanade Marcel Duchamp, whose other highlights include paintings by Ingres, Delacroix and Corot. Adjecent is the Musée de la Céramique, showcasing Rouen's earthenware faïencerie.
The city's most intriguing museum is Musée Flaubert et d'Historie de la Médecine, set in the house in a former hospital complex where the author was born. It celebrates the Flaubert family (two of them doctors) and displays medical history, from club-foot treatment - as graphically detailed in Madame Bovary - to childbirth.

I've found some beautiful things lately and I was inspired today to put them together for a little show-and-tell post on the blog.

I haven't paid much attention to baskets and … Read More
utilitarian beauties
I think that owning stuff you love is underrated. Do you get what I mean by that? I think we often times settle for something we don't really love, just because it's utilitarian. And, sometimes there is just no getting around that. But, sometimes you can have something that checks the box in both the beauty and function categories. When I … Read More

Handmade Metro Saddle Rug
This a beautiful rug and a wonderful concept, however, when the rug arrived it smelled like mildew and upon closer inspection had a thin layer of mildew on both the topside and bottom of the rug. I returned it and the replacement rug arrived in even worse condition with the mildew situation being very visible. Leather is a product that does mildew if not kept completely dry. Unfortunately I had to return the rug, but Overstock was really great about the return process.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfectly
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. high quality rug, but unfortunately it was covered in mildew and smelled like mildew
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? entirely accurate

Hitlers Hidden Holocaust Trailer (2009)

Woven together with harrowing testimonials from survivors, witnesses and experts, this one-hour special presents in chilling detail -- with photographic evidence and rare video footage - how Nazi soldiers planned, documented and committed these horrific crimes. It was the same routine: Go into a town, round up Jewish families, take them to a ditch and shoot them, often in front of curious spectators.

Sring reverb driver for your 500-series rack.
The Radial Tank Driver is a wonderfully unique 500 series module that allows you to drive a balanced line level signal through the reverb tank in your Fender Twin amp!

Try it with drums to create unique sonic spaces. And since you probably have more than one amp in your studio¦ you will soon be using different reverbs for different tracks.

- Use the spring reverb in your guitar amp
- Add unique spring reverb effects to recordings
- Optimized drive circuit for low noise

a/n: SeaMonkey and xlunatica both, and interestingly enough, consecutively asked for a scene about chapter 531 where Bon Kurei appears to Luffy as Zoro. That was pretty perfect in itself but here are my two cents.
When Bon Kurei catches sight of Straw-chan, caught beneath the paw of the manticore, he skips forward in delight to save and greet his friend. Impel Down is the last place he expected to meet the pirate again, though if what Mr. 3 says is true and Straw-chan's brother is in level five, it's not terribly surprising that Straw-chan would break into the most secure prison of all Grand Line.
"Wait right there lion!"
Never having being the one to pass up a chance for a good joke, Bon Kurei taps the right side of his face, bringing forth the the face of a member in Straw-chan's crew from memory, before throwing his arms up with a shout.
"I'm here to save you!"
The pirate turns towards the call, and it's truly Straw-chan in the flesh, the same raven black hair and wide grin—and Bon Kurei very nearly pauses despite himself because Straw-chan is suddenly open, which makes no sense at all. Straw-chan knows better than to let his guard down during battle and besides, being open would imply that the pirate was closed in some way but Straw-chan is one of the most straightforward people Bon Kurei knows.
He means to take another look when he lands on the unconscious manticore but Straw-chan is already back on his feet, greeting Bon Kurei with nothing but honest delight so the okama shrugs it off as he thinks, it must have been his imagination.

Many attorneys view eDiscovery as merely something they "have to do." On Episode 5, we speak to Ian McCauley, Morris James' eDiscovery coordinator about jettisoning this and other misconceptions about eDiscovery practice. Instead, Ian suggests that effective eDiscovery practice can be a valuable litigation tool, and that attorneys should focus on how eDiscovery can help, not hinder, their case. We'll talk to Ian about the role of an eDiscovery coordinator in a larger litigation group, the Delaware courts' attitudes toward eDiscovery, and certain eDiscovery issues that often arise in corporate and commercial cases.

Projekt Dragonfly
So just a few pictures of my bike the 'Projekt Dragonfly', which has consumed the last year of my life :-) . The bike itself is a Scwhinn Landmark 7 speed. The engine is an Eton kid's quadbike engine I got off ebay for cheap. Of course the powertrain is a Golden Eagle setup. I had to modify it to fit my needs, and in doing so about doubled the weight, but there you are. And yes the fuel tank is an old Rouge brewing party keg. I'm quite proud of how that particular piece came out.

Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (Ottawa Convention)
|International & National Security Law Practice Group
The modern anti-personnel land mine was invented by the Confederate Torpedo Bureau during the American Civil War by burying percussion-fused artillery shells adapted to explode when stepped on. First used in combat in 1862, Federal generals protested against the use of these allegedly inhumane "land torpedoes." After the Civil War, however, no proposal surfaced to ban or regulate land mines in any of the numerous efforts to codify and update the laws of war between 1865 and 1907.

Delhi, India (PressExposure) April 14, 2009 -- According to our new research report titled âIndian Pension Fund Market Forecast to 2013â, with growing life expectancy and huge working population base, pension and annuity funds managed by life insurers are forecasted to grow at a CAGR of approx. 35% between 2008-09 and 2012-13.
Pension products contribution to the Indian life insurance industry will continue to rise in coming years as majority of the working population in India expects to have better quality of life or at least maintain the current living standards post-retirement. Moreover, most of the private companies in India do not provide pensions and employees typically depend on their provident fund for finance after retirement. In fact, provident fund financing in most of the cases remains insufficient to maintain the current living standards.
These pension plans are primarily targeted at the population in the age group of 35-45 years who has already completed saving for its protection needs and is looking for retirement plans. Young couples have also been found seeking retirement plans, but their number is relatively small and mainly noticed in metropolitan cities. However, the trend is gradually expanding to tier II and tier III cities.
Our research findings also reveal that pension plans account for close to 40% of the life insurance industry in terms of premium. Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) dominates the pension market while private life insurers are yet to take off. Private life insurers contributed just 7.5% to total pension insurance premium in 2007-08 but it is expected to rise to about 15% by 2012-13.
âIndian Pension Fund Market Forecast to 2013â is a comprehensive research report that comprises quality research and in-depth analysis on the pension market in India. It studies the emerging market trends, recent developments and their impact on the market. The report will help clients to analyze the leading-edge opportunities, prospective customer base, key players, expected future outlook and all the other factors which are critical to the success of a new entrant in the Indian Pension market.

Some actors feel pressure to stay in bikini shape year round. Others just need to make sure they are in puppet-lifting shape by June and that they keep their bodies strong and trim through August. You could call their fitness regime the BFG workout, and their secret to maintaining toned arms is four cans of stewed tomatoes.
"I feel like I've done squats every day," said Matthew Schleigh, an actor who is midway through a run that requires him to perform with a 13-foot-tall puppet strapped to his back. "The BFG," a theatrical adaptation of Welsh writer Roald Dahl's children's book about a big friendly giant, continues at Imagination Stage through Aug. 10, but the actors started working out in May.
Co-director Eric J. Van Wyk gave each actor two 14.5-ounce cans of tomatoes, then asked the actors to lie on their backs and extend their arms out to the sides. While gripping the cans, the actors slowly raised their arms straight up. On the first day, Van Wyk told them to take two minutes raising the cans; the next day, he stretched that out to three. On day three, each actor got two cans of tomatoes tapped together and very gradually lifted almost two pounds in each hand.
"He wanted to keep adding weight, but he didn't want to give us giant cans of Dinty Moore beef stew," Schleigh said.
The objective was for the actors to practice making the slow, deliberate movements that are crucial to manipulating puppets. In "The BFG," he stars as the Hungry Fleshlumpeater, the biggest and baddest of the giants. Two other black-clad actors maneuver the giant's arms. From inside the body cavity, Schleigh can see straight ahead but has limited peripheral vision.
In rehearsal, Van Wyk also asked the actors to spend short periods staring out the studio windows, observing changes on the Bethesda streetscape below. Then he asked them to try to see as much as possible in their field of vision while lifting the tomato cans.
"At first, a lot of us were like, 'How is this going to help?' " Schleigh recalled. But when they finally began working with the puppets, which Van Wyk made himself, everything clicked. "We said, 'Oh, this makes a lot of sense.' It became a way to practice becoming more spatially aware."
His puppet is made of foam, fabric and plastic and is strapped to him like a snug-fitting hiking pack. Schleigh says he feels the 35 pounds most when he sits down and stands back up, and it's important for him to maintain his balance. Several actors also have to lift each other while manipulating the puppets. For example, three guys hold actress Megan Graves up toward the Fleshlumpeater's mouth so Schleigh can pretend he's about to gobble her up, and it appears the giant is clutching her with his hands. For help with choreographic logistics, Imagination Stage hired Synetic Theater fight guru Ben Cunis. The resulting illusory effects are impressive, Schleigh said. He can tell, because children in the audience are quietest when the giants are onstage.
"They are really into it," he said. "They are just so awed by the living, breathing thing that they see onstage."
Late last week, both The Post and the New York Times reported that the producers of "Side Show," which closed Sunday at the Kennedy Center, were eying a possible move to Broadway. Both stories mentioned the St. James Theatre, where Woody Allen's critically panned musical "Bullets Over Broadway" is playing to just slightly more than half-sold houses, as a likely new venue.
But what a difference four days can make in the fast-paced world of commercial-theater real estate. Monday night, the producers of "Holler if Ya Hear Me" announced they were abruptly closing their musical, which features songs by the late rapper Tupac Shakur. The premature shutter will open up 47th Street's Palace Theatre, which is operated by the Nederlander Organization.
The musical required an $8 million investment and never returned more than $175,000 a week in gross revenues. During early workshops, Hollywood up-and-comer Chadwick Boseman played the lead, but he got a better offer — to play James Brown in a film — and was replaced by slam poet Saul Williams. The musical received mixed reviews, and it seems that for the tourists who dominate Broadway ticket markets, slam poets and dead rap stars weren't much of a draw.
A spokeswoman for the Nederlanders referred calls about the Palace Theatre to Richard Martini, executive producer of "Holler." Martini laughed and referred calls back to the Nederlanders, saying they're the ones who need to comment about who or what is using the theater next. "You're not likely to get much out of them," he cautioned. Although he's cutting his losses, he had kind words for the Kennedy Center's reworked "Side Show." "I've heard it's a very good production," Martini said. "It sounds like they've fixed a lot of flaws in the show."
If every patron who bought a ticket to the Capital Fringe Festival also bought a beer at the Baldacchino Gypsy Tent, then 3,000 people bought tickets to see Fringe theater and dance performances this weekend. As it happens, the festival is not releasing ticket-sale numbers, and there may not be a 1-to-1 correlation between beer and ticket sales. Some of the college kids putting on shows can't drink, at least one playwright ordered a rum-and-coke, and some patrons likely enjoyed their beer so much they had two. Or three. Or more.
For the first time in the festival's nine-year history, Fringe partnered exclusively with American Eagle Distributing to fill its taps. That doesn't mean Fringe-goers are downing Bud Light instead of Natty Boh. Actually, they have fairly discriminating taste. Back in May, Fringe chef and food manager Matty Griffiths asked American Eagle to set aside reserve casks of New Victory Swing Session Saison, a spring specialty beer brewed in southern Pennsylvania. Long after run-of-the-mill bars have run out, the farmhouse ale is still flowing freely at Fringe.
As for other ways to measure whether the festival's opening weekend was a success, Fringe divulged this much: Thirty-one shows sold-out, and more than 80 performances played to more than 50 percent capacity. At Fringe — but not on Broadway — a half-full house can be reason to cheer.

Let's face it. We're undone by each other. If we're not we're missing something.
-Judith Butler, Precarious Life
At approximately 9am on Sunday February 23, I arrived at the hospital in New York City after hearing that my brother, Tim Trombley, was in the ICU suffering from acute pancreatitis and kidney failure. As I walked down the hallway towards the elevator, my phone buzzed. I answered and heard the broken voice of my mother on the other end – I knew immediately what she had called to tell me, Tim was dead.
My brother lived without fear – something I always admired and envied about him – and he reveled in extremes. The acronym YOLO – "you only live once" – applies unequivocally to the way he lived, but thinking back on his life it's not the time he went skydiving, the partying, the tattoos, the fast driving, or any of the other extreme activities he survived that calls that phrase to mind. Instead it's the times he loved and laughed, the connections he built with others – human and animal – and the care he gave unquestioning to everyone he met. YOLO, you only love once.
Tim was the victim of his vices, but he was also the victim of a harsh, uncaring, and indifferent system. Working 16 hours a day 6 days a week to keep afloat in an city and industry for which he was just so much disposable labor, he turned to alcohol to ease his emotional and physical suffering. About a month before he died, he went to the emergency room for symptoms that could have indicated the pancreatitis that ultimately took his life. Faced, no doubt, with a host of other, more immediate emergencies, the staff ignored his relatively minor complaint and sent him home with pain killers. Lacking insurance and fearing reprisal from his employers, he avoided seeking help from a doctor when his pain became unbearable. By the time he got to the hospital about 12 hours before he died, it was already too late and there was nothing that could have been done to save him.
Undone. I can think of no better word to describe how I feel – how we all feel on hearing about his passing. He was a big presence for everyone in his life, and we are all undone by his loss. But it's only the case because he allowed himself to be undone by us. He opened his life, his world, his heart to all of us, brought us in – at times despite our protests – and gave us one of those big bear hugs that hurt, but also felt so comforting. I will miss those painful hugs. I will miss you, my brother. Goodbye.

Belgian officials say they have apprehended one of the Paris suspects Salah Abdeslam after a shoot-out.
Officials say Abdeslam, who has been on the run since the November attacks, was wounded in the leg as police moved in on a flat in the Molenbeek area.
"We got him" said Theo Francken, Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, on Twitter (in Flemish).
Abdeslam is a key suspect in the jihadist attacks in Paris which 130 people died. One man - identified as Algerian national Mohamed Belkaid and linked to the Paris attacks - was shot dead during the raid in the southern Forest suburb on Tuesday.
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national born in Brussels, had lived in Molenbeek before the 13 November attacks.
Officials said at the time they believed as many as two other suspects may have escaped.

After 35 years on the Darien Police force and more than a decade as its leader, Chief Duane Lovello will say goodbye to the department and Darien next month.
"Thirty-five years is a long time," he said. "The timing is just right. A lot of people I know said when it's time, you'll know. I know."
Lovello, who lives in Trumbull with his wife and two sons, currently away at college, sat down with The Darien Times to reflect on his time in Darien and his decision.
His future plans aren't exact yet, but Lovello said he is looking forward to exploring other opportunities — outside of law enforcement.
"I have a lot to offer. My experience and education will help me try new things, and new mental challenges," he said.
Lovello praised Darien as a community, saying it is beautiful and the people here are "wonderful."
"They've been very supportive of the police department for all 35 years I've been here," he said.
Lovello said he leaves knowing the department is "very well-positioned for the future."
"This department has always willing to self-evaluate. That's why we apply for accreditation and reaccreditation to make sure what we are doing is up to speed," he said.
He said the department embraced best practices and new systems like a new ID system for eyewitnesses long before the ideas were a requirement. And the "best part" of that, he said, was that these initiatives come not from him but from members of his department.
Career history and challenges
Lovello began his career with the department in December of 1981. He was transferred to the detective division in October of 1986, and was promoted to sergeant in July of 1993, lieutenant in September 2000 and captain in December 2000. Upon the retirement of former Chief Hugh McManus, the Darien Police Commission named Lovello Darien's ninth chief of police, sworn into office in March 2005.
Of all his roles, Lovello says detective was his favorite. While he said being a patrol officer is terrific, he said patrol officers don't get much time to spend on the case after filing the initial report.
"In the detective bureau, you deal with some fascinating things — forensic techniques, Interpol, you network around the country and the world. It's not unusual to be talking to departments in Seattle or L.A.," he said.
Lovello says one challenge as chief has been identifying highly qualified individuals for every department vacancy, as the force faced the retirement of several veteran officers last spring.
That process has gone well, he said, due to the staff doing peer interviews and the Police Commission, which vets who is hired and promoted.
"I'm always impressed with the effort they [the Police Commission] put into that," he said.
Paul Johnson, chairman of Darien's Police Commission, told The Darien Times the state of the Darien Police Department as Lovello leaves "could not be better."
"We consider him to be one of the best chiefs Darien has ever had," Johnson said. "We are very sorry to see him go, but we wish him all the best."
The commission met Tuesday to discuss future plans, Johnson said.
Another challenge is keeping up with technological advances, on both the law enforcement and criminal side.
"Thirty-five years ago, there was no technology, basically. Now it's evolving at a frantic pace. Whatever you get is outdated by the time you get it out of the box," Lovello said
While advanced technology can aid law enforcement, allowing officers in the field to remotely access the entire police database, it helps criminals too.
"Smartphones are a treasure trove to help commit or facilitate crimes, whether its ID theft, narcotics purchases, or tracking packages," Lovello said.
Darien, Lovello said, is fortunate to have technologically savvy officers who keep the department at pace with, or even ahead of, those seeking to commit high-Tech crime.
Under Lovello, Darien Police became one of the few departments in Connecticut to achieve Tier II Accreditation, a level above Tier I which means the department meets a higher level of professional standard, and an expanded and police headquarters underwent extensive renovation.
After the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Darien established a School Resource Officer program. Each campus was assigned a school liaison officer.
Schools Superintendent Dan Brenner said, "The chief has been the perfect partner with the schools."
"His willingness to collaborate with the Board of Education has benefited the Town and our schools in more ways than I can quantify. We wish him only the best in his retirement," Brenner said.
The K9 and traffic divisions were formed under Lovello, as were the Domestic Violence Unit and Accident Investigation Team. The department joined a regional emergency response team, the Youth Bureau was expanded, the Cops and Kids Adventures program began, a public information officer was named and the department's Table of Organization was restructured. Command level officers are now sent for advanced training, including the Senior Management Institute for Police at Boston University.
Appointed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to the state's Police Officer Standards and Training Council in 2012, Lovello was named chairman in 2016. He currently serves as president of the Fairfield County Chiefs of Police Association and is a past president of the Fairfield County Detectives Conference and the Darien Police Association.
Lovello received a bachelor's degree from the University of New Haven and a law degree from the University of Connecticut. He is a member of the Connecticut Bar and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, Session 215.
Praise for Lovello's leadership
"His leadership, law enforcement and legal expertise, dedication to the residents of Darien and stewardship of our safety is one of the most important factors in our community being a desirable place to live and raise a family," First Selectman Jayme Stevenson said, calling working with Lovello "a privilege."
"While the chief's retirement is a loss to the community and me personally, he, along with the Police Commission, has built an outstanding Darien Police organization filled with strong law enforcement talent insuring the continued excellence of the department," Stevenson added
Stevenson said what she appreciated most about Lovello is his care and concern for Darien's youth.
"He has worked tirelessly with our schools and other community partners like The Depot to build relationships with our kids to help them avoid making unhealthy and negative, life-changing decisions," she said.
Stevenson added that Lovello shares her philosophy that "all kids make mistakes and, in most cases, deserve a second chance," and added that she will miss his professional guidance and wished him well in his future endeavors.
Sgt. Jeremiah Marron of the Darien Police Department said he has known Chief Lovello "since I was a young boy as he worked together with my father for a long time." Marron's father, the late Jeremiah Sr. served as a captain in the Darien Police Department.
"Over the past 21 years, I've worked for the Chief in several different capacities as he rose through the ranks and I've learned a tremendous amount from him," Marron said.
"He's clearly helped our agency move forward in numerous areas and I wish him the best of luck in any new endeavor he may undertake," he said.
What he will miss
"My co-workers are really fabulous," he said, saying he will miss them most.
After attending state-wide police events, he's always grateful to return to Darien — where he said the department is very close knit, which means, he joked, they also sometimes fight like a family.
Cases with impact
Over the years, Lovello said, several cases have greatly impacted him, such as the Alex Kelly rape case, and the Campbell homicides — the 1987 case of Patrick Campbell, a young man who was convicted of bludgeoning his parents to death with a hatchet and sledgehammer and setting them on fire in their backyard,
But Lovello, much like recent retiring department veterans such as Lt. Ron Bussell, said the case that still stays with him is the unsolved murder of Officer Kenneth Bateman on May 31, 1981. Bateman was gunned down while investigating a burglar alarm at Duchess on the Post Road, remains the only unsolved police officer murder in Connecticut history. Darien Police continue to investigate the case.
In 2015, in Hartford, the only person of interest in the case, Anthony Sabato, was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison on federal firearms and drugs charges. At the time, the judge also ruled that Sabato supplied the firearm that was used in Bateman's murder. The long investigation was worked by Darien Police, with the help of West Haven Police and the FBI.
"Bateman is the one we desperately want to solve. It still haunts the department," Lovello said.
However, he said the conviction of Sabato gave him a "lot of pride."
• Five Darien Police receive U.S. Attorney award for Sabato case
"There's a comfort in it, and a tremendous amount of satisfaction in the amount of work that went into that case. Some Darien police who worked on it weren't even born yet [at the time of the Bateman murder]," he said.
Lovello that he was touched by the support the department got in that case from West Haven Police, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office.
"They treated it like it was one of their own," he said, adding that emblematic of the brotherhood of law enforcement.
Despite the years that have passed, Lovello feels the department remains as committed as ever to solving Bateman's case.
"Solving that case has bridged generations of officers — and the next generation for years to come. it speaks to the quality of people that are hired here," he said.
"We want to solve it, and I leave knowing that effort won't subside," Lovello said.
Chief Lovello's last day is Feb. 15, and while he says he has no interest in any kind of going away fete — or being the center of attention in any way, he said, smiling, "sometimes you don't have a say in these things."

In my shop, I frequently see multiples of the same style coming in waves. I'll have a flood of wingbacks, then aesthetic period chairs, then a bunch of office chairs - some kind of collective consiousness at work. Last fall was marked by me as the Time of the Knolls
This pair was emailed for a bid request, front and back view, which I appreciate attachments with more rather than fewer images.
Then a short time later, seen at Savers on E. Lake St...
This one a Steelcase (the link is for one of their vintage ads I saw on Apartment Therapy - very Mad Men) in the 60's or 70's. I let Savers keep the cushions knowing they needed replacing as well as new padding to this good wood frame.
I'll post separately the process of this chair and as it relates to other vintage Steelcase, ASE and Goodform office chairs. I've had good results reupholstering these, but they do have their quirks. For now, I'll just show how this one turned out - it is for sale at Miller Upholstering's etsy store and in the shop here on Lake St. The fabric is "Records" by 009 Textiles of London, handprinted cotton/linen in the UK.
But back to the first Flo-Kno. I knew these were going to be a bear because the fabric from the factory was a stretch woven that fit over the frames almost as a tightfitting slipcover. Once taken apart to use as a template, it more than likely would change size in my hands - and I needed it to fit this boxey frame EXACTLY, stretch but not stress at seams.
The fabric is Rubelli Venezia Re Mida/Corallo, a metallic lampas, with an absolutely amazing kind of tiny flamestitch background weave with the pattern floating above as in a brocaded weft. We would run sideways or railroad.
Apparently you'd stretch and sew, but only just to give a tight fit over the frame. Plates were sewn in "biscuit tufted squares (but not cut and joined) with narrow seams, then stretched into the proper fitting, pre-measured welt cording.
The floating back cushion was affixed with the strangest little lock-nuts that we could not source locally. Forget about being able to reuse them - they got mangled in the removal.
The factory Fedex'd us some new ones though, just in time to finish this pair for the holidays 2010/11.

Gov. Jay Nixon today visited Missouri's Fulton State Hospital to tour the facility and discuss the impact of House Bill 253, a costly tax package he vetoed last month. Despite broad bipartisan agreement on the need to improve the facilities at Fulton State Hospital, which opened in 1851, House Bill 253 would make such investments impossible, Gov. Nixon said. With a price tag of more than $800 million annually, House Bill 253 would permanently undermine the state's ability to support vital public services, including education and mental health.
"As I said last January, we have a responsibility to these patients and their caregivers to provide the best possible environment: one that is safe, secure and conducive to healing," Gov. Nixon said. "That is why legislators on both sides of the aisle agree that building a new Fulton State Hospital is a necessary and long-overdue investment. Unfortunately, investments like those needed here at Fulton State Hospital will simply not be possible if House Bill 253 becomes law and punches an $800 million hole in our state budget each and every year."
In his 2013 State of the State Address, Gov. Nixon recommended issuing targeted bonds that would include funding to build a new Fulton State Hospital. Findings published last week by the three leading independent credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Moody's, show the potential for serious risks to Missouri's fiscal health and the state's long-standing AAA credit rating if the Governor's veto is overridden and House Bill 253 becomes law. A downgrade to the state's credit rating would make the bond issue needed to build a new Fulton State Hospital drastically more expensive.
"We believe that recent legislation, known as House Bill 253, could potentially have a significantly negative impact on the state's finances under certain circumstances," Standard & Poor's wrote in its July 24 report. "We believe that if the Missouri legislature overrides the governor's veto and enacts the legislation, and the federal government passes the Marketplace Fairness Act, it has the potential to result in a significant financial impact to the state, despite requirements for the maintenance of a balanced budget."
In its July 18, 2013 report, Fitch Ratings specifically noted that House Bill 253 would be taken into account in evaluating Missouri's credit rating if the Governor's veto was overridden. Moody's acknowledged the Governor's action in restricting $400 million to ensure a balanced budget in the event that House Bill 253 became law.
"I am calling on members of the General Assembly to stop this unaffordable and ill-conceived tax experiment from becoming law," Gov. Nixon said. "We can maintain fiscal discipline and hold the line on taxes, while meeting our moral responsibility to these patients and their caregivers here at Fulton. But only if my veto of House Bill 253 is sustained."
