Gary Lew's career has enjoyed an interesting evolution. A political science major at UCLA, his first job after college was on the staff of U.S. Senator Pete Wilson. When Wilson was elected California's 36th governor in 1991, Lew followed him to the State Capitol in Sacramento. After four years in the governor's office, he decided to pursue a new path in business and joined Merrill Lynch's investment management group. He also determined to earn an MBA and enrolled in the Graduate School of Management in 1996.

Yet another long overdue post. I got sent this Stenders duo that is perfect for any passionate chocolate lover out there. I'll be honest, I don't recognize much of the vanilla, which kind of saddens me because the scent is very strong and I'm not too big on chocolate in general *sorry*. Scent wise, it all comes down to personal taste here. Otherwise, the shower gel is really lovely, creamy and ladders up perfectly. Can I really say more about a shower gel? The body scrub on the other hand I LOVED from the beginning, it made my skin soooo so so soft and due to the indulging scent, the whole experience was really pampering. But then, not even a month later, something really odd happened; I wanted to scrub the day away and upon unscrewing the lid, I discovered this. I do not know if this was my jar only or did I not store it correctly.... Either way, it was a very sad day. You can check out all of the yummy pampering stuff by Stenders here.

Stenders Rose Hand cream
Wednesday, 3 September 2014
I have a quick little review for you today, as I really don't think there's a lot to say about a hand cream. First and foremost, I really love the packaging on this one - matte, dirty pink (?) with a silver cap, plus the opening is really tiny so there's no danger of squirting out too much product. It claims to be rose scented and while I know absolutely nothing about flower scents, this is a pleasant and subtle one, therefore it can't get annoying over time. As far as nourishing goes, it's your average everyday throw-in-the-handbag kind of hand cream: not too thick and sticky, yet not one of those cheapo ones that only make your hands feel unpleasant. It also almost doesn't make your hands greasy at all so that's always welcome as well. You can snatch a tube of 75ml for 10,75.

LUSH Ro's Argan Body Conditioner (ft. a letter of return)
Tuesday, 22 July 2014
First things first - yes, I am still alive. My readers (all four of them) had probably given up on me months ago, but it just feels weird posting like nothing happened after such a long time. I wish I could blame it on school and exams, but I was slacking so much I can only blame it on being busy procrastinating. More than anything though, I just didn't really feel like blogging and I figured it's better not to post than do it poorly just to do it. Well after falling out of the habit and seriously considering deleting the entire web site, I started to really miss it, so I came up with a plan. I have a bunch of products left to review from months ago (companies probably hate my guts) so I'll get that out of my way first - which does not by any means mean the reviews will be any less honest! After that, I'm not going to be accepting any more products to review (unless I get some super amazing offer, but I don't see Nars or Mac writing me any emails in the near future), though I'm still open to hosting giveaways for brands. I've also decided to quit my 'new in' monthly series, since I always show what I buy on my Instagram (@NusaPavlic) and Facebook and Twitter (@NusaPavlic) right away so I really don't see the point. Bottom line, I am back to spamming Twitter timelines with links to my new posts!
Now onto the gorgeousness that is this little LUSH miracle. I did not know what to expect from a 'body conditioner', but saw the rave and as much as I didn't believe it, I am a changed woman after trying it out. First and foremost - I'm pretty sure this is what heaven's chambers smell like. I guess it smells like roses, but oh it's so much more! I can't even begin to explain it, but it's amazing, very specific, yet I am positive no living being would hate it, very powerful, yet so subtle you can't get that 'scent headache' even if you wanted to. I could stop here and order you to get it for the smell only, but I've got more. It also lasts on your skin (and in the bathroom) for absolutely ages! I apply this after rinsing my shower gel as usual. I massage it in (just because it feels so amazing) and perhaps let it really work its magic for a minute or two (in that time I die a few times because it smells so heavenly), then rinse it off and there you go, most deliciously smelling, soft. moisturized, silky skin I've ever had. Applying lotion as well kinda ruins it because I honestly don't need it, I just can't really see it getting any better than this. And you know how you sometimes love a product so much you'd rather die than let someone borrow it? Well, I love this SO much, I gave my half full jar to my friend Živa, I jsut couldn't bear to be the only one enjoying it. And because this is such a pamper product for those nights you crave some spoiling, the price fits aswell. It's quite heavy on the wallet (€26,95 for 225g), but to be honest, I think I wouldn't see it as such a treat if it were a few bucks only. Bottom line, this is the ultimate pamper night product and I think everyone should snatch themselves a jar the second they can spare those twenty-something euros.

Stenders shampoo and hair cream
Saturday, 3 May 2014
I'm the worst blogger in the history of beauty blogging and companies that expect my reviews probably hate me, but it's not like my description claims I'm at all organized. Well anyhow, I'm bringing to you two hair product reviews today, so keep on reading if you are looking for ways to pamper your locks!
Starting off with the shampoo (which I accidentally left in my other shower and by the time I returned to that apartment, the bottle was empty, thanks to my sis - but fear not, I did get the chance to try it out); it's meant for normal hair and that is actually the best description of it. My hair falls in the category of oily scalp + dry ends, also known as devil's work, and while this shampoo did make my locks noticeably smoother and 'taken care of', I also got oilier a tad bit sooner. If you're used to washing your hair everyday as it is and just want to provide a bit more nourishment, this is perfect. It would work best for, obviously, normal hair and even dry hair if you don't like the overly creamy texture of some shampoos meant for super dry hair. This one will set you back 13,20€ for 200ml.

I found this recipe on another site and want to try it sometime in the near future. DH is a big fan of anything that has cherries so I'm thinking he might like this. 2/25/07 Edited: I made this tonight and DH & I were both amazed. When I took it out of the oven there were no cherries on top. They all sink to the bottom and it's truly an upside down cake. I thought it might be real sweet but it isn't. It has a nice sweet/tart combination. We served it with vanilla ice cream and it is yummy.

The Prairie Valley School Division received their budget development for the 2014-15 school year, during their regular meeting on April 14.
Division administration has just finished reviewing the provincial budget allocation to determine the implications it will have on their division. Staff brought the preliminary budget plan to this board meeting for discussion.
Their revenue outlook for next year is quite flat. Their grant funding increased by 1.3 per cent; however, all of this increase is earmarked to repay borrowing costs on ministry sponsored major capital work. The result, therefore, is a zero-increase funding scenario.
The board continues to be concerned with the ministry of education's funding allocation formula, particularly given another planned reduction in Supports for Learning. Their first priority is to protect instructional time between teachers and students and they want to maintain that contact time.
Budget development work will continue in May and the final recommended budget will be brought to the board in June for approval and submission to the Ministry of Education.
The board received changes to transportation into Regina schools. Over many years, Prairie Valley School Division and legacy divisions have transported some students to Regina schools, due to historical attendance patterns or for French Immersion or other programming that was not available in rural schools.
This year, 241 of 8,300 Prairie Valley students are transported to a school in the Regina Public or Regina Catholic systems or to the Luther College High School.
Recently, the Regina Public School Division and the Regina Catholic School Division notified Prairie Valley that, because of significant enrolment growth in some schools, Prairie Valley residents will no longer be admitted to certain Regina schools as of fall 2014.
New admissions for the 2014-2015 school year will be limited to the Regina residents of the attendance areas for: Campbell Collegiate and Grant Road School, and LeBoldus High School, Deshaye Elementary School and St. Gabriel Elementary School.
Both systems plan to grandfather current students and their siblings, therefore these changes apply to new admissions starting with the 2014-2015 school year.
Prairie Valley has developed a plan that is being communicated to all parents whose children will affected by these changes that will continue to provide transportation services into Regina schools for the 2014-2015 school year, working within the schools that the Regina systems have made available to Prairie Valley students.
For 2015-2016 and beyond, transportation will be provided to Prairie Valley schools only, with transitional services for current high school students and other specific situations.
Over the next several months, Prairie Valley will be conducting a detailed assessment to develop transportation routes for 2015-2016. The Prairie Valley board will communicate more information to families in the fall, including which Prairie Valley school will serve each area.

Bolognese sauce
- Barbarella Feb 18, 2010 09:08 AM
My DH absolutely loves Bolognese sauce. So far we are unable to find a really good offering out there . Where is your fav spot to order this in a resto? Something in the Belmar area would be good but can do Ocean County too..
This is pretty subjective and depends on what your husband considers his touchstone of Bolognese sauce. One person's Bolognese is another person's marinara sauce with ground beef thrown in. Are we talking a true Bolognese like you would be served in the Bologna, Italy and the surrounding Emilia-Romagna region? If so, I've yet to tast one of equal quality here in the US. I'm curious to see what kind of responses you get Barbarella. Good post!
re: ttoommyy
Definately not the marinara with just beef thrown in. I am not sure exactly what the one that is served in Bologna is like. He seems to like it with sausage and a bit of cream in it.
re: Barbarella
That's not a true Bolognese sauce. But it's what he likes and that's what counts. Can't help you out with a restaurant, becasue I've never had a Bolognese with sausage and cream.
re: Mr. Bingley
I also like Basil T's bolognese sauce a great deal. During March they are rolling back prices to what they were 24 years ago, so that may be a good time to drop in and try it. Check the website but I believe its a Mon-Thursday offer.
Generally I'm not a big fan of Bolognese sauce but decided to try it at I Cavillini in Colts Neck a few years ago. We do not frequent this restaurant very often but when we do it is now my only choice for a main course - it is simply that good.
Since I love this place for lunch, I am sure the bolognese must be good as well.
I know it is Shrewsbury, but I thought I would throw it into your mix!
If you have not been to Stella Marina definetly give their bolognese a try. In my opinion it's their best pasta option. They serve theirs with fresh pappardelle and a dollop of marscapone. The marscapone starts to melt into the pasta as you eat it giving it a certain creaminess I think your DH is looking for.
re: AC Captain
Thanks for the info A C Captain. I have that resto on my "check out" list and will have him get that when we do go there.
re: Barbarella
Trader Joe's sells a great jarred bolognese sauce. Better then you might expect..
re: Snorkelvik
Wind and Sea is in Highlands not Atl Highlands.
re: Eric in NJ
With all due respect Eric, you are correct, but Snorkelvik did spell the name correctly. It is Windansea, and not Wind and Sea. ;-)
We're going there soon...I might just have to try that bolognese, Snorkelvik! BTW, do you snorkel?
56 Shrewsbury Ave, Highlands, NJ 07732
The best Bolognese I've had in a long time was at Ama in Atlantic Highlands. It was a special, so if you decide to try it, call first to see if it's being offered. If not I urge you to try the restaurant anyway!

Aug 22, 2011Okay Capcom, you showed up with your sleepy franchise to give it a comeback. I'm glad that you made this at last and trnasformed the awesome series to a monster of a game. Beutiful graphics, solid gameplay ( ultimately slow though) and nice features makes the best entrie in the series. Even with those great feautres get the Super Street Fighter or the new Arcade one that came out, overall Capcom slipped the hand on making to much Street Fighter in less than 4 years probably , so get the most updated version.… Expand
If you're a novice, a training mode and eight levels of difficulty will help you find your way. If you're a pro, SFIV contains all the depth you've ever loved about the series, without compromise. Capcom simply got the feel of Street Fighter perfectly right. [Feb 2009, p.76]
At the end of the day, that's really what this Street Fighter is: it's a title that's built for newcomers, yet tweaked for old school vets from the arcade and console days. [Mar 2009, p.75]
Street Fighter IV is a fantastic game overall and Capcom should be commended for designing a game that can work on so many levels by appealing to both casual and hardcore players.

Zepol's data shows 2012 imports increase 1.2% from 2011
Zepol Corporation, the leading trade intelligence company, reports that U.S. vessel imports have risen a slight 1.2% in 2012. This was a total of over 17.6 million TEUs (twenty-foot-containers) imported, or roughly 200,000 more containers than 2011. Slow and steady growth seems to be the consistent pattern for the year as import volume still has not returned to 2007 or 2008 levels. Zepol has seen a large spike from 2009 to 2010 and then a plateau-like trend for the past three years, although 2012 was an especially unique year for U.S. imports."In the past 12 months there have been strikes at the ports, hurricanes, and shifts in manufacturing. Not to mention that in a post-recession economy, U.S. companies are running their businesses much more conservatively." says U.S. trade expert and CEO of Zepol Paul Rasmussen, "It's no wonder that 2012 imports were less than dramatic and certainly not back to the massive consumption seen in 2007."
A Closer Look at US Imports for 2012:
• What countries does the United States import the most from?
U.S. imports from Asia increased 0.2% from 2011 but it's nowhere near the increase seen from Europe which rose 6.4% in 2012. China, the leading exporter to the United States decreased in TEU exports for the second consecutive year by 0.4%. Although, South Korea, the second largest exporting country, increased 1.2%. Japan and Germany, the third and fourth largest exporting countries to the United States, also had some significant growth in 2012, rising by 2.2% and 8.7%, respectively.
• What were the top U.S. ports in 2012?
The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the busiest ports in the country and both have posted slight decreases from 2011 by 0.7% and 2.3%. On the other hand, the Port of Newark/New York, the nation's third largest port, increased in 2012 by 1.6%. Notable increases in traffic were also seen from the Port of Norfolk, Virginia by 10.3% and the Port of Charleston, South Carolina by 7.4%.
• Which carriers brought in the most goods?
As for the ships that carry all these goods to the United States, Maersk Line was the top carrier again for 2012 and increased in TEUs from 2011 by 7.9%. Mediterranean Shipping Company was the second largest carrier in 2012 and rose a slight 0.6% from 2011. APL Co. ranked third and had a solid increase in TEU imports by 5.1%.

Alexander Salazar brings finer artistic deals to San Diego County
A Harvard alumnus, art critic, historian, collector and respected art dealer in La Jolla and Boston for many years, Alexander Salazar opened three locations in 2010 in downtown San Diego designating some 7,000 square feet to art. The corner of 7th and Broadway, was transformed into a 2,000-square foot-high fine art salon featuring the works of national and international mid-career and emerging artists, and just two doors down at 635 Broadway, Salazar offers an artist-in-residency studio each month to an emerging San Diego artist. Head north to 1040 7th Ave. to see the 5,000-square-foot open gallery space featuring modern and contemporary art.
Salazar holds a master's degree in theology and art from Harvard University and he earned a second master's in sociology and art from Boston College. While an undergraduate at Colorado College, he lived in London where he studied modern and contemporary art before moving to Florence, Italy to do research on the masters, such as Bernini and Botticelli.
With more than 13 years experience as an art dealer around the country, Salazar continues to build museum-quality private, corporate, and celebrity collections worldwide. A collector himself, he said he understands that art is a reflection of oneself and his only requirement for acquiring a work from his gallery is that "you love it!"
What brought you to La Jolla?
I moved to La Jolla in 2001 from Boston after completing my graduate degree at Harvard University. I was relocated by a Miami art dealer to establish dealings in California, mainly La Jolla. When I first drove onto Prospect, I fell in love.
What makes this area special to you?
La Jolla holds a special place in my heart because it launched my career as a reputable art dealer. The diversity of the residents in La Jolla allowed me the opportunity to work with collectors from all over the world. It was also always exciting to see the seasonal visitors come back each summer. I have seen businesses open and close in La Jolla, but nevertheless, La Jolla maintains itself as the Jewel of Southern California in its entire splendor!
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in the area?
I would fill every empty storefront with a fabulous business!
Who or what inspires you?
Art and philanthropy inspire me and take most of my time. I hove found that the more I give, the more I am blessed. That in itself is a beautiful thing.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?
My Mother - Because she has been my angel in heaven and on Earth.
Picasso - Because he was the best artist that ever lived.
Rembrandt - So he can confront Picasso about the caricature portraits he did of him over the years.
Mother Teresa - So Picasso has the opportunity to paint a portrait of her — and then I could offer it at auction for charity.

Wisdom Wednesday: 'Go back to blue'
I've decided to continue our Lucinda Williams theme by choosing her song "Blue" as our Wednesday Wisdom. One of the few "poems" I've written in my life is titled "Blue," so more Lucinda connection for me there.
Here are the lyrics and then a YouTube video of her performing the song live from a show in 2009. Enjoy.
Go find a jukebox and see what a quarter will do
I don't wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue
Feed's me when I'm hungry and quenches my thirst
Loves me when I'm lonely and thinks of me first Read more

|A new role for Redskins RB Portis: 'Interchangeable' Man
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 27 September 2007 11:50
And, in crunch time of a tight game against a division rival, Clinton Portis was absent, too.
The costume-wearing running back who was fast becoming the new face of the Washington Redskins franchise during a playoff run two years ago - whose track record after four years in the NFL placed him among the elites - was deemed last week by the coaching staff to be ``interchangeable'' with his backup. He was not even worthy of being on the field when 1 yard was needed to push a game into overtime.
Portis was taking a knee while Ladell Betts failed in two attempts to score from the 1-yard line in the final minute of the 24-17 loss to the New York Giants. It's hard to imagine Shaun Alexander or LaDainian Tomlinson playing spectator in a similar circumstance.
Or, for that matter, any running back with a $50.5 million contract. Or any running back who has been considered to be of greater value than the best cornerback in the league - the case made by the Redskins when they acquired Portis from Denver for Champ Bailey and a draft pick two years ago.
So what was Portis' reaction? Was he thinking he should have been in the game? Will he be demanding the ball from now on?
Well, suffice it to say that the flamboyant Southeast Jerome - one of Portis' characters from 2005 - would be stunned at his alter ego's subdued answer.
``If Ladell scores that touchdown, then it's not a problem,'' Portis said. ``Being that we didn't score, now it's, `Oh, why wasn't Clinton in?' Who's to say I would have scored?''
So not only has Portis' role changed from two years ago, so has Portis the person - at least the side that he presents to the public. While teammates say he's still can be a jokester in private, Portis is more serious, more defensive and less likely to crack a joke when the cameras are running.
Portis said he has adopted a new tone because he grew tired of being criticized. When he wore the costumes, there were fans who said he was a distraction. When he was hurt last year, there were fans ready to replace him permanently with Betts. He was especially stung by the backlash over his lighthearted comments about dogfighting during the Michael Vick investigation earlier this year.
So now, as he's said many times already this season, the new mantra is: ``I need to take care of Clinton Portis and let other people take care of themselves.''
``People are never going to be satisfied,'' Portis said. ``From the Vick stuff or anything else, it's just giving people an opportunity. The less opportunities I give people, the less shots I give people to take at me, then the better I'll be. I understand the people not for me are going to be against me, so there's nothing to talk about. I'm going to let those people be against me. I'm going to continue to have a chip on my shoulder.
``It's just life, man. It changed.''
On the field, Portis is adjusting to sharing the rushing load with Betts. Although Portis has more carries this year (48 to Betts' 30), coach Joe Gibbs made it clear that he counts the two as equals.
``We think they're interchangeable,'' Gibbs said. ``We don't think that there's any play in our offense that we would worry about one player or the other one handling.''
So far, the results are mixed. The Redskins (2-1) have run the ball more times than any team except Pittsburgh and New England but rank only 16th with an average of 4.0 per carry.
A strong running game is necessary during young quarterback Jason Campbell's development, but Campbell himself has the longest run of the season (20 yards). Portis' numbers are OK but not great: 227 yards, a 4.7-yard average and three touchdowns.
Betts (82 yards, 2.7 average) didn't have a second-half carry last week until the two at the end of the game. He said the tag-team approach means he doesn't have ``the same type of rhythm'' he had when Portis was injured last year.
Portis, for his part, said he's simply buying into the system and that winning is paramount. Anyone expecting him to throw a tantrum at the way he's being used has so far been disappointed.
``I could sit there and say I want the ball every play,'' Portis said. ``It don't mean I'm going to get it. What I'm buying into is the team vibe.''
It was pointed out to Portis how much has changed - his role in the offense, his free-spirited attitude - since he led the Redskins to the playoffs two years ago.
``Don't worry,'' he replied. ``We're going to be all right. We're going to get to the playoffs with me being a team player.''

Mark is probably the nicest person I have ever met. He always smiles when he talks to you and our first meeting lasted over an hour and he also did follow up meetings that were almost an hour. He is very detailed and wants to make sure everything runs smoothly during the ceremony. Before the ceremony, everytime I needed him, he somehow appeared through the door of the bridal suite like he knew I was thinking about him. He is just amazing. Great guy. I would recommend him to any couple!

You will have no regrets if you choose Reverend Mark Larose to marry you. Luckily we had a recommendation from a friend because like so many brides out there, we had no idea where to start. Reverend Mark met with us, truly listened to us, wanted to know and learn about us as individuals and as a couple, and genuinely took it all into consideration while planning our ceremony. Communication was great as we emailed back and forth- choices, vows, and suggestions. The ceremony was perfect. It was fun, light-hearted, yet serious when it needed to be. It was exactly as we imagined, and even a month later, we still have people commenting how wonderful and unique our ceremony was. Every time I watch the video or think about our ceremony, I realize we were SO fortunate to have had Reverend Mark marry us. Thank you for everything!

After interviewing a few officiants we decided that Mark was our guy. During our first meeting Mark had asked us a lot of questions he was so interested in "our story". He kept in touch with us and the week of our wedding called us and did a walk through over the phone of our ceremony. I knew it was going to be good because he was very well organized and incorporated everything that we wanted. We had so many of our guests give us great feedback about the ceremony. They said that he kept it interesting and had their attention throughout the ceremony. He got to our venue an hour early and scheduled meetings with our Matire'D, band, photographer, and videographer all to ensure a smooth ceremony. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family looking to go the non-traditional route of getting married somewhere other then a church etc.

My fiance (now husband!) is jewish and I am catholic and we were looking for someone who could work with us to create a ceremony that celebrates and respects aspects of both religions and traditions to make both families feel included and happy. Lucky for us, we met Mark Larose!
From the moment we met Mark he made us feel comfortable and that he was interested in learning about us as a couple and as individuals. He had many ideas on how to incorporate both traditions and was always readily available by phone and email. He would touch base with us, make sure we were comfortable with the layout of the ceremony, and even called me the morning of our ceremony to check in and make sure I was doing okay which was extremely sweet and thoughtful. Right before the ceremony, he took charge and coordinated with the matre de at the reception hall, the photographers and the musician and the ceremony went off without a hitch! It was a beautiful ceremony that really represented who we are as a couple and our family members are still commenting on how wonderful the ceremony was especially at incorporating both religions.
Thank you Mark for helping make our day so special, memorable and stress free!

We were married on July 27, 2013 at Natirar and Rev. Mark made the day, the ceremony and our life long memories absolutely wonderful!
He met with us beforehand and from our conversations, understood our feelings for each other and who we are. With that knowledge, he crafted a repertoire that played out perfectly- a well managed theater production! We even imposed on him to lead the guests in singing "The Wedding Song" as a toast to our vows. Rev. Mark is a professional and will deliver a program where the couple, and their love, is at the "center". We highly recommend him!

We can't say enough about Rev. Mark Larose. He was patient throughout the planning process and helped us with writing our own vows. Up to our wedding day and the day of, he was supportive and comforting to both of us. He provided us with the ceremony we had always envisioned and our friends and family couldn't stop raving about Mark and how personal our ceremony was. We couldn't imagine anyone else being the person who married us because he made sure we never forgot that it was about our love for each other and that we should be having fun. Thank you, Mark!

If you are searching for an officiant who will tailor your wedding ceremony to exactly what defines you and your fiancé, Rev. Mark Larose is your dream come true. We were both raised Catholic, but neither of us wanted a church wedding. Meeting with Rev. Mark was a breath of fresh air. He created a custom ceremony for us that was unique and still incorporated a few of the Catholic traditions, to keep our families happy! There are so many reasons I am thankful we found Rev. Mark, but the single most important reason is our vows. During our first meeting I said "I do not want to write my own vows," and he challenged me on that and then helped guide me during the writing process. Even though I sobbed through my vows during the ceremony, it was beyond special to have my own words to say to my husband and to hear his own words back. That is something we will both treasure forever!!!

What can we say other than WE LOVE MARK! From this first time we spoke with him on the phone, we knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was warm, caring, and very funny too. We could tell he cared about us and making our day special.
We met with Mark for the first time over hot chocolate in a little café. It really felt like he was genuinely trying to get to know us. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, I felt comfortable being able to go to Mark with any questions I had, even if they weren't related to the ceremony.
During my wedding reception and even to this day, what people remember most, and talk about most, is how wonderful he made our ceremony. He could not have made it more perfect and we were so lucky to have found him. Thank you Mark!

Mark is simply the best in the business. After our first meeting with Mark we just knew we had found the right person to marry us. It's hard to explain but we truly connected and he understood us as a couple. So much so that it was like we has known eachother for years!! He is professional, qualified, dedicated, responsive.... I could go on forever! The worse part about planning a wedding is the worrying that comes along with booking vendors and wondering if they will deliver what they had promised. From the beginning I never had any doubts about Mark! He not only delivered but exceeded our expectations 10 fold!!!
My parents were worried when we told them we were not having a traditional church wedding because everyone in my family had a church wedding and because of the non church weddings we'd been to in the past that were quick and impersonal. Just "I do's" then it's over. Our ceremony lasted over 30 minutes and included every element we wanted. The ceremony was the highlight of our wedding and I will forever be grateful to Mark for all he had done. I come from a Catholic background and my husband Jewish so we combined a few elements of both into the ceremony - sign of the peace, breaking of the glass, etc. We also read personal vows which I strongly recommend. It personalizes the ceremony rather than the usual cookie cutter. We also did the wine box where we had wrote letters to each other and locked them away with a bottle of wine and will open on our 5th anniversary. Lastly, one of my favorite parts was the blessing of the hands including participation from our parents. We had not told them about it previously so their surprise during was amazing to see.
"Most romantic wedding ever. You set the bar very high for future weddings!"

Words can not describe our Officiant, Reverend Mark Larose. My husband and I have been married for 2 months and people are still talking about our ceremony and how "Us" it was. I cannot say enough about him. His hard work and effort proves that he was a great choice for us. From the moment we met him, he was making us laugh, cry, everything. What a series of emotions in such a short amount of time. The ONE and ONLY thing i wish Reverend Mark could do for us was to stay and enjoy our celebration but it is completely understandable that he was super busy and had to go. He is an amazing person and a very positive influence! He helped me organize my vows and make it easier for me to read them to my husband. I can't thank him enough!

Where do I begin?! Mark was fabulous from the minute we first met him. He is so personable and has the ability to make you feel so comfortable with him. Mark did a fabulous job of getting to know us and listening to our wants and needs. He incorporated everything that we wanted and our families and friends continue to tell us how blown away they were by how personalized our ceremony was. Not only was Mark wonderful on our wedding day, but he touched base with us for months leading up to the wedding. I thought it was very thoughtful that he called me on the morning of our wedding just to make sure I was feeling calm and to see if I needed anything. If you are looking for a unique and heartfelt ceremony with an officiant who truly listens, my husband and I cannot praise Mark enough. Thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special!!

Mark was fantastic! Our ceremony was personal, unique and so "us" that many guests commented they thought he was one of our lifelong friends. We absolutely loved the ceremony and working with him was a breeze - super responsive and professional.

We cannot say enough good things about Mark. It's easy to get wrapped up in planning the party aspect of your wedding, and it was important to us that people felt they came to witness a meaningful, special ceremony. From day one Mark put our minds at ease. He was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, and it showed in the ceremony! Mark was always responsive, spent a great deal of time writing and perfecting our ceremony, and called the morning of to check in. It was such a beautiful day, and I know people felt they had been invited to witness and very personal moment for us.

It's easy to give the reverend mark Larose this rating considering all the time and effort he put into making our wedding special. From the start of the process where mark had us relive special memories with each other and then until the end of the ceremony mark was a creative, flexible and passionate contributor to our wedding experience. Have a clear idea? Tell mark and he will implement it, plus build upon it. Not sure what you want? Mark will draw on his abilities and experiences to help you figure it out. Mark was very responsive to us the entire time always communicating and making sure he helped us prepare for the wedding. I recall a special unity ceremony my wife and I wanted to do but were not sure how to implement. Mark helped us draft, modify and implement the ceremony, coordinating with the hotel on details the day of the ceremony. He truly made it possible for us to focus more on the experience of the day instead of logistical details.

I purchased this coat for our 10 year old daughter, being as I'm an awesome Mom. She won't take the stinkin' thing off. We have managed to remove it from her person on a couple of occasions, and it washes up beautifully. The color is very pretty...lilac perhaps. I got the XL18, which is a strange size, but it fits her well. It fits me too, not that I've had it on or anything...what?? She's tall for her age(5 feet), glad I got that size. Great job Moosejaw!!
North Face will always gets a thumbs up from me. They just make excellent jackets, hands down. This one is no different. It's light weight, cozy, and keeps you very warm. This was a gift for someone else, so I really can't say much about the style, but I am not a fan on the furry look. But I snuck this on to see how it felt, because who can resist? It's really nice. NF jackets are worth the money. Especially when you get them cheaper from Moosejaw. Oh yeah, my friend loved her jacket.
I just received this jacket and my daughter is in love with it. It is so soft! She put it on and won't take it off! The jacket is lightweight, super soft and warm. She usually wears a size small in all her tops and this jacket fit just right with room to grow.

Playground equipment, lighting for ball fields and the construction of a restroom area were all suggestions brought up for a wish list for Parks and Recreation funding by Lancaster city officials earlier this month.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, when we should all be grateful for all of life's gifts, big and small.
The annual American holiday, held the fourth Thursday of November, commemorates the Pilgrims' celebration of the good harvest of 1621.
Thanksgiving celebrates the simple treasures of good food and fellowship – conjuring up popular images of family seated around a table, complete with a steaming big bird, mounds of dressing and pumpkin pie.
In reading the article, "Man wanted for attempted murder," in the Nov. 12 edition of The Lancaster News, it's obvious someone is not doing his or her job. A person who has been arrested and pleaded guilty 10 times in a seven-year period should never have been released to the public. Who keeps giving him probation?

Now that the election is over and all the votes have been counted, I want to say a very special thank you to all of you who voted for me in the Cane Creek Watershed Board race. The promise that I make to you is that I will never disappoint you. In fact, you may be pleasantly surprised at how hard I will work for you.
I am looking forward to working with Ann, Amanda and Tony Sistare and all other directors to make this the best watershed possible.
The men and women who have served and fought for our great country's freedom are America's true heroes. Many have lost their lives for our freedom.
May God grant you the peace you deserve and may you get the reward you truly deserve. No country can come close to America, and you made it all possible. America must never fall. We back down from no one.
For all the men and women who have fought and served our great country; for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice; we thank you.
Thanksgiving is when, as a nation, we give thanks for the important blessings in our lives.
For many, that likely includes family, good health, a decent job and the like. And we should be thankful if we enjoy any or all of those things.
For some in our society, however, working hard doesn't always produce enough income to make ends meet.
Many rural and small town Americans depend on something that the rest of us don't likely think about that often, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), to help get through some of the tough times.
There are many who are disabled and have to use scooter chairs. I am one myself.
I appreciate the chairs being provided for our use in Walmart. There is no possible way I can walk from one side of the store to the other.
The problem I see is those who do not plug them back in when they are finished using them.
Many times I have plugged them back in after someone parked them and walked out the door. My husband has driven them in from the parking lot numerous times.
Please be considerate and plug them back in for the next person to use.
This letter is in response to "System failing to keep us safe" by Ramond Johnson of Indian Land in the Nov. 19 edition of The Lancaster News.
I agree with everything Mr. Johnson said in his letter to the editor regarding the "Man wanted for attempted murder" in the Nov. 12 edition of The Lancaster News.
But I have another question: Why has a person been arrested and pleaded guilty 10 times, but hasn't been found and arrested for attempted murder?
I have lived on Locustwood Avenue more than 21 years.
Living beside the school (Erwin Elementary), I understand that you must pick up your children. This year, however, has been the worst ever. I don't understand why some people think it is OK to block my driveway and Pink Dogwood Avenue. It is really sad when a few people think the rules don't apply to them.
Yeah, I'm talking about you, lady in the blue SUV and the family in the little black car that was blocking Pink Dogwood and would not move.
I, Lancaster City Councilman Gonzie Mackey, would like to thank everyone for the support, trust and confidence to allow me to serve you for another term in office representing District 2, but truthfully representing the entire city as a whole.
I really take my position as a city councilman very seriously. Like I stated in my first debate, I may not know everyone personally or treat everyone the same, but my promise to you was that I will treat everyone fairly. Your concerns and complaints are mine.

Humanism, a follow up
January 10th, 2013 | Posted by: Vlad Chituc
I want to make a quick follow up to my suggestion Tuesday that we should ignore Humanism as a philosophy and embrace it solely as a community label. Since my post, Leah Libresco at Patheos's Catholic channel struck a deal with James Croft to briefly explain their philosophies. I look forward to getting a better picture of Humanism from James.
A few people, James included, have left some challenging comments, so I want to clarify a bit and address a few points on, appropriately, the philosophical and community aspects of Humanism.
On the philosophical aspect, what initially frustrated me was Humanism's apparent ambiguity. I think that our labels should mean something, particularly if this particular label is meant to be our central moral identifier. Our concepts should try to carve nature at the joints so that our language is clear and useful, rather than vague and confusing (one of the reasons I prefer to talk about pluralism rather than interfaith). When you tell me that you identify as something, I should learn something about you that I didn't know before.
James has responded and raised a few interesting points. I capture the gist here but read the full comment for his argument:
Humanism, in my understanding, can mean two things, neither of which are a single, coherent metaethical philosophy. The first sense is as a lifestance, a set of values, an orientation to the world. In this sense it is similar to "Christianity" when that term is used to describe some person's view of the world: people talk of "my Christianity" and "their Christianity". This is also the sense in which people say "I am a Humanist" ("I am a Christian").
The second sense is as a tradition of thought and practice which is connected by a set of guiding questions, principles, or values. In this second sense it is sort of equivalent to "Christianity" when that term is used to refer to a tradition of Christian thought.
I like the clarification that Humanism isn't one unified position. I was always under the impression that it was a philosophy (singular), and it seems to me that it's often treated this way. I think the comparison to Christianity, though, breaks down slightly. I still learn a lot about someone's moral commitments if I find out they're a Christian, because Christianity has both metaphysical and ethical commitments. The ethical commitments only get more specific as you learn what type of Christian you're talking to, and I don't think there's something analogous for Humanism.
I'm not sure what ethical commitments Humanism gives you, if any at all (especially if it's a cluster of positions). But if there are philosophical commitments, then I'm not sure that they're substantively moral. That is to say, the differences between Humanism and any generic kind of liberalism—with a focus on individual autonomy, promoting general welfare, tolerance, gay rights, feminism, take your pick—seem to be limited to certain epistemological commitments like "Reason" or metaphysical commitments like naturalism. But as I argued Tuesday, those don't tell me much about morality at all. If Humanism is meant to be a moral position, then it seems strange that it doesn't tell you anything interesting morally about its adherents.
So I say this all as a Humanist: If Humanism is going to be a moral position, then I'm still unsure of what separates it morally from any kind liberalism (or say, from religious Humanism). If Humanism isn't going to be a moral position, then that's actually fine with me. I think Humanism should orient itself towards moral action, rather than moral truth. If it does this, though, than the second sense of Humanism James describes strikes me as somewhat unnecessary, because we should turn elsewhere for our moral philosophy. There may in fact be a broad Humanist tradition, but is it interesting or helpful to learn or relate to? Am I better off just reading Kant? I'm not convinced.
A few other people made some good points about whether specific underlying moral commitments were necessary for a strong community. This I'm less sure on. I admit that I accepted Leah's argument because first, I agreed that I found Humanist communities to be somewhat vague and shallow as Leah described. I also found that my own most valuable relationships conformed to that kind of substantive similarity that she wrote about.
As an undergraduate, one of my closest friends was also a transitioning vegan struggling to figure out moral philosophy with an interest in the social sciences. Throughout my life, my relationship with my twin has shown maybe an unsurprising amount of overlap, and I often find him articulating points in ways that echo or clarify my own thoughts. And now, one of my closest friends in my department shares a similar background, love for rap music, and disapproval of stuffy academic culture. And across all these relationships there's a sense of a lot of shared assumptions and commitments—we can start a lot of conversations halfway through and know exactly where we are.
It seemed plausible that such philosophical overlap was a good place to start for deep relationships in a communiy, and I think Humanists want their communities to be something substantial and moral. I'll be agnostic on whether communities can foster deep connections from a less narrow foundation (like maybe ritual, costly commitments, shared goals, and so on).
I'm still open to being proven wrong, because I like the idea of Humanism as a moral philosophy. I just don't think it can be what Humanists want or need it to be.

I don't think I or anyone is really arguing that it is a 'moral philosophy" in the very constrained sense you use that term, so with whom are you discussing?
VladChituc Says:
January 10th, 2013 at 10:11 am
Did you read my post James? I'm confused how that was your take away because my post is largely a "if it's not moral philosophy then why is it useful as a label?"
Basically the entire lead up of my post is "I don't think this is a moral philosophy." With the conclusion of "so what's the point of it as a label?"

You go on to say:
" If Humanism is going to be a moral position, then I'm still unsure of what separates it morally from any kind liberalism (or say, from religious Humanism). If Humanism isn't going to be a moral position, then that's actually fine with me."
If you are now saying Humanism is not and should not be considered a "moral position" in the sense you are searching for, then you don't seem to be making any case at all.

Scrum Methodology
Learn Scrum
The Scrum methodology of agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. In fact, Scrum and other agile processes were inspired by its shortcomings. The Scrum methodology emphasizes communication and collaboration, functioning software, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities — all attributes that suffer in the rigidly ordered waterfall paradigm.
The Scrum Team Role
Posted by admin under Scrum Basics
There are three fundamental roles in the Scrum method of agile software development: the Product Owner, the ScrumMaster, and the team. In my last two articles, I discussed the roles and responsibilities of the Product Owner and the ScrumMaster. Now I'll discuss the team and its function in Scrum.
In Scrum, an ideal team would include seven members, plus or minus two. Usually, teams are comprised of cross-functional members, including software engineers, architects, programmers, analysts, QA experts, testers, UI designers, etc. It is recommended all team members be located in the same room, called the team room.
While the development team must complete the work negotiated in the Sprint Planning Meeting, the team has some say in the amount of work it takes on. The Product Owner will expect the team to take on as many story points of work as possible, within reason. (The team would reference its established velocity for previous sprints to negotiate how many story points would be reasonable.) The value of this process of negotiation is twofold. It protects the development team from becoming swamped with an unrealistic workload. It also manages the expectations of the Product Owner, who, in turn, can do the same for customers.
Similarly, the team has the autonomy to determine how and when to complete its work. As long as the team finishes its work by the deadline and under budget, it is entirely up to the team to determine how that happens. Theoretically, the team could crank out all of its work in the first half of the sprint and spend the second half lounging at the beach, as long as the work satisfies the corresponding acceptance criteria. Granted, a team typically needs the entire sprint to complete its work. Actually, it's not unusual for teams to discover within the first few days of a sprint, as analysis becomes less fuzzy, that it has more work to do than it realized at the sprint planning meeting. Furthermore, Scrum does not award partial credit. Even if 99 percent of a project is "done," it will be rejected if it does not meet all the established acceptance criteria. A project's finishing touches are often the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Teams are responsible to inspect and adapt their process in the Sprint Retrospective Meeting. Here is what Scrum looks like from a developer's perspective:

Google Authenticator & Blesta
November 01, 2012 | Posted by Cody
When we originally introduced two factor authentication there weren't a whole lot of options available to produce one-time-passwords. Since that time a number of applications have popped up for Andriod, Blackberry, and iOS devices. Chief among those is the Google Authenticator.
Using your Google Authenticator with Blesta is pretty straight forward, but requires a little manipulation to get the key in the correct format. Blesta expects TOTP keys to be in hexadecimal format (base16), but Google Authenticator uses base32. So we have to convert our Google Authenticator keys into hexadecimal before storing in Blesta.
There are a number of online utilities to perform this operation. Here's one: http://www.darkfader.net/toolbox/convert/.
As an example, "PEHMPSDNLXIOG65U" (in base32) becomes "790ec7c86d5dd0e37bb4″ in hexadecimal. Simply select Time-based One Time Password as the two factor authentication method in Blesta then enter the converted (hexdecimal) value and you're good to go.
You can download the Google Authenticator from the iOS app store, or Android Marketplace.

As you are all well aware by now, the Sex and the City girls rolled into town last night for the London premiere of their second movie, much to the excitement of their British fans and us here at Grazia Daily. Having seen (and overly analysed) what outfits the fabulous foursome had to offer us in New York earlier this week, we all eagerly waited to see what fashion delights they would be wearing on this side of the pond. Here are last night's best dressed!
Sarah Jessica Parker wore an Alexander McQueen dress, lace heels and black armband in honour of the late designer, which she teamed with a Philip Treacey "Cloud" hat. If some of you eagle-eyed readers are getting a touch of deja vu it may be because of her dress - it's the black version of the dress she wore at the premiere of the first film.
Cynthia Nixon sported instant longer locks than usual and kept it relatively simple in a gorgeous teal blue Narcisco Rodriguez dress.
Kim Cattrall opted for a vintage Hollywood movie star look last night with this strapless black Thierry Mugler number from the 90s and Fred Leighton brooch.
Kim wasn't the only SATC star to wear vintage last night as Kristen Davis sparkled in a glamorous gold Norman Norrell halterneck dress paired with a Judith Leiber clutch.
Eternally youthful Kylie Minogue wore this black Spring/Summer 2010 Gucci gown, joking around with Louie Spence on the red carpet.
Doctor Who star Karen Gillan wore all Louis Vuitton, looking great in a long-sleeved black minidress cinched in with a metallic belt, black heels and a shiny drawstring bag. Her choice of dark dress and bright red lips works well with her Scottish pale skin, and she's fast becoming one to watch on the red carpet.
Finally, our Editor-in-Chief, Jane Bruton, looked suitably fabulous in a gorgeous Erdem dress. And of course such an outfit deserves a suitably fabulous carriage. A Sex and the City branded black cab? Perfect!

text: Rasmussen: Only 32% of Americans Think More Gun Laws Needed Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 13 Feb 2013 post a comment According to a recent Rasmussen gun control poll, only 32% of Americans believe newer, stricter gun control laws will reduce violence, while 57% believe enforcement of current laws is the answer. This means a third of Americans agree with Obama's approach to ending gun violence while nearly two-thirds agree with the NRA. The NRA is out there reminding the American people that we already have 9,000 gun laws on the books, yet very few of them are being enforced. Other questions in the Rasmussen poll revealed that 74% of Americans believe they have a constitutional right to own a gun, and 65% of respondents believe private gun ownership is a protection against tyranny. None of these numbers represent good news for Democrats, who are currently pushing every gun control measure imaginable.

Family holidays in Tenerife: Theme parks
If you're taking the family to Tenerife, it goes without saying that you'll be visiting a theme park – at least one and possibly all of them. It all depends on the persuasive skills of your kids really. Siam Park is a water world whose rides carry such names as the Tower of Power and The Wave Palace; even grown-ups may be a little daunted by the prospect of facing manmade waves up to 4m high – a world record. Jungle Park and Aqualand are also worth a visit, while an orca show can be experienced at Loro Park.
