Earmarks and communicating with lawmakers
Are you bothered a bit by some of the earmarks that senators and representatives are involved with? Why don't you contact them and let them know what you think? That's not necessarily as easy as it sounds – or should be – as local columnist T.J. Ray explains. (July 13, 2010, Page 4A)
Concurrent. Justice?
Local columnist T.J. Ray writes about the fairness in a legal system that gives concurrent sentences for multiple crimes committed by an individual. Is one of the crimes unpunished? (June 10, 2010, Page 4)
The law says what?
Local columnist T.J. Ray wonders about some of our laws and the enforcement of laws after hearing rumors of legalizing marijuana use in Mississippi and then seeing that many current marijuana offenders are getting off easy in court. (June 3, 2010, Page 4)
Money matters
Local columnist T.J. Ray had a clerk examine a $20 bill he was using recently, and that made him wonder about efforts to thwart counterfeiters. Ray takes a closer look at money matters. (May 20, 2010, Page 4)
Who's not guilty?
Local columnist T.J. Ray takes on litter with a column showing how easy some folks must think it is to clean up trash since they don't hesitate to put it out. Who among us is not guilty? (May 13, 2010, Page 4A)
Who's liable – and who pays?
Local columnist T.J. Ray wonders how courts decide who's really liable and who should pay when it comes to cases. Recent judgments leave him wondering how some get hit hard and others get off with a slap on the wrist. (May 5, 2010, Page 4)
Discrimination now moving to athletic facilities?
Columnist T.J. Ray has seen all types of discrimination challenged over the years, but is now starting to see another type – in facilities for athletics and other endeavors on college campuses. What group might find a way to make use of an indoor facility? (April 9, 2010, Page 4A)

Queen Latifah out at the Grove yesterday, Valerie Bertinelli in West Hollywood on Wednesday.
They're both spokeswomen for Jenny Craig, but do they both practice what they preach?
TMZ is getting worse than X17 with there non-story stories. And what's worse is you just did this story a few weeks ago. Queen just wanted to lose 10-15lbs to lower some health risks and be a little healthier. Which she ha done. Hasn't anybody watched her commercials to in order to do this story? Get your facts straight idiots.
I think they both look WAAY better than Harvey or any of is minions at TMZ. Without Britney to GIVE you guys stories, TMZ is really reaching for a story.
HOORAY for easy targets....
how can I get a job at TMZ??? Being mean based on a stereotype is far too easy.....
I know you guys and gals at TMZ are just kidding with this story both Valerie and Queen have been doing very well on their eating regiments and fitness training, but as anyone who is an instructor will tell you, simply denying yourself everything, will never work, so pick one out of seven days to be a treat day, and then workout like a maniac for the rest of the week. And, if you look at Queen and Valerie, they have both made tremendous progress, so give the ladies a break, because if you want to see fat out of shape and ugly, just take a trip to any Cuban, Mexican, or Dominican Republic resort and check out the American and German tourists wearing next to nothing and looking like beached manatees in dire need of euthanasia!
Queen Latifah and Valerie you go girls keep up the great work - you are doing fine!
They look good.
The whole idea of the Jenny program is that it teaches you how to eat properly. It is EXPECTED that you will be able to make your own meals, or eat out in restaurants and still be successful---it is a matter of what you order and how much you eat. PLUS you can splurge every once in awhile! It would be nice if you did your research instead of worry about sensationalizing everything.
it is so funny BigQueen could not lose the weight so they come up with Size Healthier. That is so fricken funny i would have loved to be at that meeting when the Brain surgeon came up with that LOL
Val, read your book..IN ONE DAY!! You are not alone!!! I'm with you sister; they even make a sport for people like us, its called figure competition!!! Takes these issues to a whole new level..I'd love to correspond with you if possible...ignore all the carma suckers out there.....IF YOU GUYS HAVE NOT READ HER BOOK PLEASE DO.
Queen, I've always loved you...both of you are beautiful no matter what

JLL Secures $75M for St. Regis Aspen Resort
Tuesday June 25th, 2013 - 9:50AM BGKS

ASPEN, CO—On behalf of 315 East Dean Associates, Inc., Jones Lang LaSalle's Hotels & Hospitality Group secured $75 million in financing for The St. Regis Aspen Resort.
The 179-key, five-star resort is located at 315 East Dean St. Starwood Hotels & Resorts manages the hotel, while OptAsia Capital is the asset manager and owner's representative. An overseas bank provided the floating-rate loan.
Managing Director Mathew Comfort and VP Mike Huth, as well as Managing Director Jeff Davis, led the Jones Lang LaSalle team on this transaction.
"The Aspen lodging market is incredibly unique in that it attracts an extremely affluent international clientele and features less pronounced seasonality than other ski resort markets. In addition to the property's prime location in one of the world's top resort destinations, lenders were attracted to the hotel's strong sponsorship and the quality of the hotel, which recently underwent a meticulous $46 million renovation," said Huth.
"Immediately following the acquisition, the focus was on upgrading the physical offerings of the hotel," said Stephane De Baets, OptAsia Capital managing director. "Now that the renovation phase is complete, we are focused on service delivery—the details that will make this a true five-star resort. We are very pleased with the vote of confidence that the process has demonstrated towards this asset." The resort is located on a three-acre site at the base of Aspen Mountain, near the Shadow Mountain lift, the Little Nell lift and the Silver Queen gondola. It features a Remedè Spa, fitness center, outdoor pool and hot tubs, some 20,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, a business center, two retail spaces and several restaurants.
Tags: • Hospitality • Brands • Construction/Renovation • F+B • Sources of Funding •
It's been a nice ride for the lodging industry for the past few years, as solid fundamentals have produced steady improvement in both performance and profitability. And just about every one you talk to remains bullish about the prospects for the future.

First Look At Sean Hayes On SMASH
Emmy Award-winning WILL & GRACE star Sean Hayes returns to the small screen next week - on an NBC series starring Debra Messing, no less - on Tuesday night's new episode of the musical series SMASH, titled "The Read-Through", playing a neurotic star stage actor named Terrence headlining the new Season Two musical-within-the-series to follow last year's BOMBSHELL, this one titled LIAISONS!
LIASONS! is based on the classic novel written by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos that was brilliantly adapted first for the stage and then for the screen by Christopher Hampton byway of DANGEROUS LIAISONS.
The 1988 Stephen Frears film adaptation of the Rococo property stars John Malkovich in the role Hayes will be essaying in this new stage musical version of the sudsy, scandalous story.
In a previous storyline on the show, Ivy (Megan Hilty) was seen auditioning for the role of Cecile, ironically originally played in the 1988 film by Golden Globe-nominated Season One SMASH star Uma Thurman in one of her earliest roles.
Sean Hayes portrays Vicomte Sebastien de Valmont in LIAISONS!, an artistocratic, nefarious lecher hungry for the affections of those he cannot (or, more to the point, has not already) had in his bed. And, he has his eyes firmly, devastatingly set on Cecile.
Hayes role extends over the course of several episodes following next Tuesday night's debut, so it will be a welcome return for the beloved comedy star to our TV screens - and, of special note for fans of his stage work in the similarly Craig Zadan & Neil Meron-produced PROMISES, PROMISES, we will apparently be hearing him sing in coming weeks, as well! Stay tuned!
SMASH airs Tuesdays at 10 PM on NBC.
Check out the first clip of Sean Hayes on SMASH below.

Jim Engster, our new state politics columnist, has been a fixture in Louisiana political journalism for more than two decades. New Orleans native Engster graduated from LSU with a bachelor's degree in journalism and has worked extensively in both radio and print. He worked for the Louisiana Radio Network for 20 years, serving as its news director from 1997-1998, and hosted the radio show Louisiana Live for five years. During Engster's tenure, Louisiana Live was named the best public affairs program three times by the Associated Press.
Engster also wrote the column "Political Perspectives" for Baton Rouge Business Report, and has been a longtime contributor to Tiger Rag, covering everything from politics and LSU sports to university issues. Engster is currently the general manager of radio station WRKF in Baton Rouge and hosts the Jim Engster Show, which airs weekdays at 9 a.m.
On the arts and entertainment beat, we're proud to formally announce Shala Carlson as The Independent's primary film critic. Carlson is an Opelousas native and former assistant editor of The Times of Acadiana. Since 1998, she's served as a film critic and managing editor for New Orleans' Gambit Weekly newspaper. Her work has also appeared in Baton Rouge Business Report, and in 2001 she was honored with the Ashton Phelps Memorial Award for Excellence in Editorial Writing from the New Orleans Press Club. Carlson's film reviews will appear bi-weekly beginning with this week's issue.
Also in our Living Ind section, we've made some additions to "The Week" calendar section. Each issue we'll now be including "Road Shows," noteworthy events that weekend in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Houston and other surrounding areas. Another addition is "Coming Attractions," where we'll spotlight high-profile upcoming performances both in Lafayette and out of town. And to keep you in the loop on the latest and best DVDs, CDs and books (in addition to our regular features and reviews), we'll be spotlighting five recommendations every week.
The Lafayette superintendent insists the budget is illegal and vows to fight on.
"I am not a scientist," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has said numerous times, a response that other members of his party have parroted.
Republicans are running strong races against endangered Democratic incumbents in states such as North Carolina, Colorado, Arkansas, Louisiana and Alaska. Republicans are also looking to replace retiring Democrats in Iowa and West Virginia with a GOP lawmaker.
Republican congressman Vance McAllister is trying to make up to Louisiana voters for getting too close to a married former employee.
You may not like all of "it," but U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, unlike many of her colleagues, isn't sitting around twiddling her thumbs in Congress.
Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro says he "can't wait" to play against Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The heat keeps rising for Iberia Parish Sheriff Louis Ackal as a new slate of corruption allegations surfaced this week.
If opposing defenses sell out to stop the Packers' passing game, they risk being gashed by powerful running back Eddie Lacy, a New Orleans-area native.
At the horn the officiating crew trotted to the tunnel and left security personnel to clean up after them.
Friday's Blogs from the Bog!
Sign "ninjas" cleaning up clutter; NYC doctor positive for Ebola; Ferguson grand jury decision nears; and more national and international news for Friday, October 24, 2014.
We can safely assume incumbent Chief K.P. Gibson isn't too worried about this challenger.
Nationally, Republicans must gain six seats to win Senate control. The most competitive races, many in states where Obama lost in 2012, remain too close to call.
The Baton Rouge Republican has repeatedly battled a perception within his own party that he perhaps wasn't the best choice to carry the GOP banner.
Even if Jimmy Graham's production dips while the star tight end recovers from a shoulder injury, it looks like Drew Brees won't have much trouble finding other targets.
A former campaign manager for Senate candidate Rob Maness is striking at the Republican contender's tea party support, saying Maness only sought to appeal to conservative organizations because he needed money for his campaign.
Ninety-two percent of public school teachers were rated either effective or highly effective in a report the state issued marking the second year of a new statewide evaluation process.

District 2 school board candidate Simon Mahan is hoping to unseat first-term incumbent and former Carencro Mayor Tommy Angelle in the Nov. 4 election.

State District Judge Bob Downing extended the order and delayed a planned Wednesday hearing about a permanent injunction while negotiations continue between Attorney General Buddy Caldwell and the waste disposal site operator.
New Louisiana higher education commissioner Joseph Rallo will be paid more than his predecessor.
Elijah McGuire and Alonzo Harris each had four rushing touchdowns, and Louisiana-Lafayette rolled to 419 yards on the ground in a 55-40 victory over Arkansas State on Tuesday night.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are the validators-in-chief for Democrats struggling through a bleak campaign season in states where President Barack Obama is deeply unpopular.
OCT 24 You gotta love it when they start eating their young, right? In this post in Politico, BP mouthpiece Geoff Morrell denies that his company's oil spill "ruined the Gulf." Instead, he says, it was Bobby Jindal's decision to divert fresh water into the salt water environment that caused massive losses to shrimp and oyster industries. The evidence doesn't back up any claims that the spill caused that harm, he says. Nothing to see here, move along.
OCT 24 The former mayor of Sorrento was arrested on dozens of child pornography charges, a post on The Creole reports here. Wilson Longanecker Jr. was arrested in his Ascension Parish mansion, the blog reports.
OCT 24 As Bobby Jindal's tenure as governor winds down, blogger Tom Aswell tells us to expect to see more and more of his appointees jumping ship. Some might get shown the door (or the federal indictment, as the case may be) and others are just going to want to avoid standing in "the inevitable unemployment line," he says.
OCT 24 Jim Brown is blogging about elections in this post. There's no one more recognizable when it comes to elections than he is, and yet he still had to show his ID, you know. He gives some easy-to-remember advice on the Amendments: vote against them all. This stuff needs to be handled by legislators, not added to the Constitution, he says.
OCT 24 Bobby Jindal's recent "magical" budget touch - you know, the one that turned a $140 million deficit into a $170 million surplus - is just imaginary, columnist James Gill tells us in this post. It's about as real as that story he tells about the "gold standard" of ethics, Gill says.
OCT 24 George Carter III, a teenage member of the group Kids Rethink New Orleans Schools, died this week, the Picayune reports here. Educators who knew him called him a "visionary." He certainly had some highly-developed ideas for his age, but despite his ability to provide positive ideas for helping kids in the city, in the end he wasn't able to escape NOLA's problems, either.
OCT 24 John Dickerson posts this slice-of-campaign-life look at Mary Landrieu on the trail in Louisiana. Republicans are playing to a runoff, he opines, meaning our state will become "a zoo" if it turns out this race will decide control of the Senate.
OCT 24 Bike lanes have been quite the topic of convo over in NOLA recently, what with streetspace, already at a premium downtown, being sacrified for them. In this post on the Uptown Messenger blog, Owen Courreges opines that the lanes are not really being constructed for people who ride bikes, but instead because developers seeking to make money downtown feel they are needed. He's also predicting that they will increase already nightmarish levels of traffic to new heights. Nah -- that couldn't happen!
OCT 23 Blogger Tom Aswell posts the photo that started making the rounds of the Facebook this week; it shows our governor and his lovely bride, all bright and smiley and holding big guns. The Jindals look a little posed, down to their carefully and properly placed index fingers. They're both grinning wide, displaying how comfortable they are with weaponry. Whee!
OCT 23 This fascinating post on The Lens opens the discussion of New Orleans as subject. C. W. Cannon talks about the concept of dual consciousness and how New Orleanians, especially, have experienced this condition post-Katrina. Cannon attended a recent conference about the issue at Tulane, where the discussion focused on how the romanticization of the city by outsiders masks real social problems.
OCT 23 Bayou Buzz is taking Gov. Bobby Jindal and the GOP to task here for the Ebola shrieking. The so-called "travel ban" makes no sense, and these politicians should have done their homework before coming up with this stunt, Stephen Sabludowsky writes.

The free tool can be used for dripline installations.
Netafim USA has released a free Techline Calculator app for use with iPhone and Android devices. This irrigation system design program calculates and displays project specifications and recommends products for an efficient dripline plan.
The user enters the square footage of the area that needs to be irrigated (whether a garden or turf grass), along with the soil type, and the program does the rest. This includes calculating dripline length, placement, flow requirements, application rates and run times.
The Techline Calculator additionally provides a list of components required for the installation, indicating which filter or pressure regulator is needed, even the quantity of staples.
Techline professional products, including Techline CV, Techline, Techline RW and Techline EZ, are used to efficiently irrigate trees, shrubs, turf and flower beds in commercial and residential installations.
All Techline products are manufactured from recycled material and qualify for LEED credits. Techline is also recyclable when its productive life is over.

Dissemination Impact assessment of Health worker Model "MARVI" report "Understanding MARVI "
17 Friday Oct 2014
Posted Uncategorizedin
17 Friday Oct 2014
17 Friday Oct 2014
Only 20 percent Pakistanis takes benefits from public sector facilities even after the 67 years of independence while Pakistan lags behind in many reproductive health indicators as compare to its regional neighbors, the Contraceptive Prevalence Rate is 35% and only around half of all births are in a health facility or attended by a skilled attendant, this was highlighted in one of the research report launched in Seminar on 16th October 2014 organized by HANDS.
Dr.Ghaffar Billo Chairman HANDS during the Seminar shared with the audience that the Government of Pakistan has attempted to implement a number of initiatives – among which the Lady Health Worker Intervention has stood out as one of the most successful but still the LHWs program could reach to hardly 40 to 60 percent population vary from province to province. Hence there found a huge gap, 60 – 40 percent highly marginalized population vulnerable for ill health which resulted deaths. He further added that in order to address this deficiency, HANDS conceived and implemented, a model of working with no or low literate rural women to serve their communities with family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) services.
While spoke to the audience Dr.Shaikh Tanveer Ahmed CE HANDS informed that the first phase of MARVI intervention initiated from 1st November 2007 with baseline survey. District Umerkot is the poorest district of the country located in Southern region of Sindh Province of Pakistan. Most of the population are living under the poverty line with literacy rate of only 6 percent. Whereas nearly 50 percent of the total population is deprived of Lady Health Worker Services in District Umerkot. Hence this was the reason behind to initiate this project to provide basic health and safe-motherhood services in the area. One MARVI worker and a Dai were selected as per criteria with the recommendation of community groups for 700 to 1000 populations and hence 350 villages or cluster of villages were identified. The total population benefitted from the project is 400,000 directly and whole district population of 858,000 indirectly. The project mobilized with the assistance the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and in partnership of Local Organization Thardeep Rural Development Program – TRDP and in close collaboration with "District Health and Population Welfare Department" .
Impact of the intervention of the health project at Umer Kot was assessed by an external evaluator Dr.Adnan A.khan, the impact assessment report of the project was presented in the local Hotel today, The report presented the impact of the 350 Marvi workers (health workers performance) in the district which create a prominent change in the health status of Umer kot district which is the remotest district of Sindh. The report was presented in front of many legislators of Parliament while Health and Population Department representatives were also participated in the event Senator Dr.Karim Khwaja, Secretary Health, DG Health also participated in the Seminar. In the technical session of Seminar which was Chaired by Professor Rasheed Juma (EX DG health co- chaired by Dr.Durre Shawar from health department was highlighted that there is significant increase in many of the critical health indicators in Umerkot by creating a new cadre of health workers from uneducated rural area by HANDS.
Report pointed out that the intervention has had a dramatic effect on Marvis at several levels. Their personal monthly incomes nearly quadrupled from around PKR 892 to 4724, while their household incomes have tripled from PKR 4829 to PKR 12362. Interestingly, Marvi work only contributes around PKR 1905 to this income while non-Marvi work – mainly the shop that they have established and promote during their Marvi work – contributes around PKR 2819, suggesting that the entrepreneurial skills and empowerment that they learnt from the intervention have led to wider benefits to Marvis.
These ladies were called the "Marvi" workers, the Marginalized Areas Reproductive Health and Family Planning Viable Initiatives – MARVI approach is centered around empowering local women that is Marvi workers and communities that is women and their families through capacity building to improve RH and FP outcomes with minimal dependence on external aid. Word MARVI considered as dignity and women empowerment, is adopted from the name of a women in folk stories.
The impact assessment of the project proved that the intervention has had a dramatic effect on Marvis at several levels especially in terms of women empowerment and women health status. It is reported that CPR in Umerkot rose from 9% at the baseline to 27% at the end line, or a 3-fold increase and was higher in Marvi served areas. Changes were seen in all areas covered by Marvis where the CPR was over 30%; whereas it remained largely unchanged in LHW areas (10%). Community women ascribed both the higher demand and their own increased use of FP to the work of Marvis. Marvis acted as agents of change by "demonstration by doing" (CPR was 37% among the Marvis themselves), by convincing both men and women to use FP and by making FP supplies available at the doorstep.
Through this intervention not only impact on women health but MARVI as women recognized not only as Community Health Worker but most of them have transformed as a women leader for their communities. MARVI project has proved that when there is no lady health worker, a low or no literate girl if trained as community health worker with the support of a Lady Health Visitor can mobilize clients of Reproductive Health &FP Services, with the support of community based groups.
The success of MARVI intervention already took her out of the boundary of District Umerkot, to 5 more districts and their number has grown from 350 to 1000. Millions of Pakistani women and children are waiting for her. It is stressed in the Seminar that this model can be replicated in all over Pakistan by department of Health across the country. It was urged to department of health to help HANDS to scale MARVI intervention in the areas, where there is no Lady Health Workers.

A powerful earthquake struck Balochistan on 24th September 2013, the quake's epicenter was in the Awaran District, but other districts of Balochistan – Kech (Turbat) and Panjgur were also affected. According to reports, the tremors registered were of 7.8 on the Richter scale. After the initial incident, another earthquake of 7.2 magnitude hit the same area of Balochistan on September 28, 2013.
The initial results of rapid assessment done by HANDS & data presented by Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Government of Balochistan showed that 42000 families and nearly 300,000 peoples were affected. Around 90% of the building collapsed including shops and houses in 8 Union Councils of District Awaran. The 05 Union Councils of Panjgur & 02 Union Councils of District Kech were also affected from the disaster. According to PDMA Balochistan 399 people were killed and 599 were injured. Dozens of Health & Education facilities, water wells, Karezs were also damaged.
Realizing the pathetic state, HANDS was among the first few not for profit organizations to reach Awaran with philanthropy funding and later 2.5 million Pounds (PKR. 412 million) from DFID / UKAID partnership. We had the honour to meet the Chief Minister of Balochistan and brief him on the "Relief and Recovery Project" and he graciously consented to launch the project. HANDS planned and worked in close coordination with District Administration and Lines Department under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Awaran and PDMA Balochistan.
HANDS was founded by Prof. A. G. Billoo (Sitara-e-Imtiaz) in 1979.HANDS has evolved in 34 years as one of the largest Non-Profit Disaster Management Organization of the country with integrated development model. HANDS has a network of 32 offices across the country and has access to more than 16.2 million population of nearly 20,274 villages/ settlement in 35 districts of Pakistan. HANDS strength is 18 volunteers Board Members, more than 1700 full time staff and thousands of community based volunteers of 5205 medium and small size organizations.
After the conduction of "rapid assessment" of the affected, a plan was developed to reach 10,000 households and 56,000 individuals through the project in earthquake-affected districts of Balochistan. The project reached to communities of 08 worst affected union councils including Awaran, Gajar, Nokjo, Teertej, Parwar, Gishkore, Chitkan (Panjgur), Dandar (Kech).
HANDS believe in community participation and worked with group methodology and thus 400 Community Support Groups (CSGs) were formed. Each group comprised of nearly 25 beneficiaries.
Realizing the immediate needs of targeted communities in the relief and early recovery phase of the earth quake, HANDS distributed 10,000 emergency shelter roofing kits (bamboos, plastic sheet and ropes), 20,000 blankets, 10,000 ceramic filters & 10,000 solar lights to the affected as per their need assessment.
In the health sector the contribution of HANDS included 07 mobile medical mobile teams sent from Karachi to provide health services to 27,000 sick and injured people. Emergency Health Care services package included maternal & Child Care, physiotherapy of injured patients, rehabilitation of disabled through developing a cadre of Community Health Worker. We also distributed 50 wheel Chairs to the disables. HANDS also in process 02 Hilux ambulances to the District Health Administration and solar energy source to maintain the cold chain of vaccines for 05 health facilities including District Head Quarter (DHQ) Hospital Awaran.
In the education sector, considering the urgent needs of District, 25 Child Friendly Spaces (CSF) were established. Learning material and sports material was provided which played a vital role to increase the interest of children. The change environment probably attributed to the increase in enrolment up to 1,469 children. One teacher from each school was trained and equipped with psycho social well-being skills. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services were provided at 25 targeted locations of Govt. schools along with provision of furniture and learning material.
HANDS in recent year has developed and excelled in providing low cost shelters in disaster affected areas. Through its Infrastructure Development Energy WASH and Shelter (IDEAS) program arranged to deliver the knowledge and skills at local level for construction of disaster resilient shelters through conduction of orientation session to community groups. The project provided the opportunity of "Cash grant" through bank transaction of PKR 49500 per family to 4500 families to build shelters. Cash grant of PKR 223 million is in transfer process.
HANDS also intervened on the livelihood aspect and "Cash Grants" for 1200 livelihood schemes to benefit 10,000 community members is in process as livelihood enhancement support. Out of 1200 schemes 32% are water related, 28% – Cleaning & Hygiene, 1.4% – Community Physical Infrastructure (CPI), 11% Handicraft and 10% Shelter. HANDS also enhanced the livelihood of Community groups through supplying 800 tool kits each of which comprised of 6 tools to be used in agriculture and non-agriculture labour. The intervention is still in the process and 63 million cash grant will be disbursed till the end of project period.
HANDS ensured the transparency by signing an agreement with United Bank Limited for on line cash transfer direct to the beneficiary on presentation of National Identity Cards (NIC). HANDS has also established and on line complaint mechanism name "Suggestion And Complaint (SAC)" system to give a direct access for all complaints to Chief Executive Secretariat for sharing of any concerns and grievances through telephone, letter, messaging or emails.
HANDS Monitoring & Evaluation Program also hired "Balochistan Engineering and Technology University Khuzdar" as 3rd party monitors, after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Monitoring & Evaluation Program also made it mandatory to different cadres of staff to make monitoring field visits to ensure timely sharing of challenges, smooth implementation and sharing of monthly progress.
HANDS requires your generous support to continue these efforts, to make our dream come true through Rebuilding Balochistan affected areas and achieve vision of "Healthy, Educated, Prosperous and Equitable Society". Millions of Balochi women, Children and survivors are looking forward to us. Let's work together to give them a ray of hope.

Alvina Valenta Dress 4 Sale!!
August 9, 2009: This post was made OVER a year ago. The dress is NOT for sale any longer!!!! I kept the dress!!
August 9, 2009: This post was made OVER a year ago. The dress is NOT for sale any longer!!!! I kept the dress!!
(11) Comments
Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had I not just ordered my gown not 3 weeks ago I'd be very tempted on this. This is one of the most amazing gowns I've ever seen!!!
Good luck with the sale!!! (Did I miss why you're selling it??? Did you get that Lazaro gown you've been drooling over?)
Hi Nebbs...No, I am selling because it doesn't fit and I need to re-order it in a bigger size.
so i have a dumb question-----> how would it be altered for someone short?? i'm only 5"0 the bodice looks like one piece - so would they do it from the bottom - then what about the lace underneath???
can you tell i'm getting close to hearing the answer from fh???
I am short as well. Only 5'2.5. The bodice is one piece. It has seems on the side that could be taken in.
As for the length, they would remove the lace trimming and hem the dress up, them put the lace back. As i said before, all o fthis can be done, but because of the construction o fthe gown and the fabric, you want to make sure your take it an experienced seamstress. :0)
can i just say --- when i showed fh your dress ('OUR' dres!hahaha) he flipped his lid b/c of the deep "V" !!!! he's such a sucker for cleavage!! perv!! he was like "well, that's more than the cost of the dj... but i do like the "V" lemme think about it more"
lol...That is what got m DH as well. Also he liked the idea that it was amermaid style to show off my curves...men..lol
I swear, I searched high and low for well over a year for that dress because I didn't want a traditional dress. I wanted something stunning, unique and very chic. This dress fit my bill.
I actually sent the pic to FH (as in "Ohhhh, I know I just ordered my gown but LOOK at this one....")... It did elicit a "WOW, that is gorgeous..." but he still said no (not in so many words, just more of a "you already have a dress on order, and I'm sure it'll be even more beautiful than that one.") How can I argue with that? :)
guys are so cute. my fiance is more like "cover all that up! for my eyes only!" LOL. but that dress IS very pretty. if only it didnt show the boobage!
I've seen other gowns with necklines like that where they do a "modesty panel," in either something sheer, or lace, so you get the FEELING of it being low cut, but still cover the cleavage (esp, for instance, if it's a Church wedding).
Hi there,
I was just wondering if you still had the dress? I know that this post was made over a year ago but thought it might be worth a try.
Thanks, I look forward to your reply
No, it is not for sale.
I was selling it a long time ago because I could no longer fit into it. I was going to use the funds of the sale to buy the same exact dress, but in a larger size.
I learned I could have larger side panels added to make it fit, so that is what is being done now.
I'm sorry.

November is "Write An Unexpected Thank You Note" Month on Ehell! Be thinking of a person deserving of your previously unsaid gratitude and send a note in November.

What happened to the "No" folder? That was going to be my favorite one!
... as will "If it was your business, you'd know the answer already." (Is that last one e-hell approved in appropriate situations?)
Then there's the old tried and true: "Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine."
"Why would I want to do that?" is one of my favorite. Said in a tone of polite inquiry.
Excuse me, but I miss my grandparents terribly. I don't care if one of them WAS 96 when he died - does that change the fact that I had 30-something years with him - loving him and knowing him? I didn't want to hear that it was time for him to go.
