An atom is composed of a nucleus containing neutrons and protons with electrons dispersed throughout the remaining space. Electrons, however, are not simply floating within the atom; instead, they are fixed within electronic orbitals. Electronic orbitals are regions within the atom in which electrons have the highest probability of being found.
There are multiple orbitals within an atom. Each has its own specific energy level and properties. Because each orbital is different, they are assigned specific quantum numbers: 1s, 2s, 2p 3s, 3p,4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p. The numbers, (n=1,2,3, etc.) are called principal quantum numbers and can only be positive numbers. The letters (s,p,d,f) represent the orbital angular momentum quantum number (ℓ) and the orbital angular momentum quantum number may be 0 or a positive number but can never be greater than n-1. Each letter is paired with a specific ℓ value:
An orbital is also described by its magnetic quantum number (mℓ). The magnetic quantum number can range from –ℓ to +ℓ. This number indicates how many orbitals there are and thus how many electrons can reside in each atom.
Orbitals that have the same or identical energy levels are referred to as degenerate. An example is the 2p orbital: 2px has the same energy level as 2py. This concept becomes more important when dealing with molecular orbitals. The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same exact orbital configuration; in other words, the same quantum numbers. However, the electron can exist in spin up (ms = +1/2) or with spin down (ms = -1/2) configurations. This means that the s orbital can contain up to two electrons, the p orbital can contain up to six electrons, the d orbital can contain up to 10 electrons, and the f orbital can contain up to 14 electrons.
s subshell | p subshell | d subshell | f subshell |
ℓ = 0 | ℓ = 1 | ℓ = 2 | ℓ = 3 |
mℓ = 0 | mℓ= -1, 0, +1 | mℓ= -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 | mℓ= -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 |
One s orbital | Three p orbitals | Five d orbitals | Seven f orbitals |
Two s orbital electrons | Six p orbital electrons | 10 d orbital electrons | 14 f orbital electrons |
As discussed in the previous section, the magnetic quantum number (ml ) can range from –l to +l. The number of possible values is the number of lobes (orbitals) there are in the s, p, d, and f subshells. As shown in the chart above, the s subshell has one lobe, the p subshell has three lobes, the d subshell has five lobes, and the f subshell has seven lobes. Each of these lobes is labeled differently and is named depending on which plane the lobe is resting in. If the lobe lies along the x plane, then it is labeled with an x, as in 3px. If the lobe lies along the xy plane, then it is labeled with an x and a y such as dxy. Electrons are found within the lobes. The plane (or planes) that the orbitals do not fill are called nodes. These are regions in which there is a 0 probability density of finding electrons. For example, in the dyx orbital, there are nodes on planes xz and yz. This can be seen in the diagrams below.
There are two types of nodes, angular and radial nodes. An angular node is a flat plane, like those in the diagram above. The ℓ quantum number determines the number of angular nodes in an orbital. A radial node is a circular ring that occurs as the principle quantum number increases. Thus, n tells how many radial nodes an orbital will have, according to this equation: Total # of nodes = n-l-1, where n-1 is the total number of nodes.
For example, determine the nodes in the 3pz orbital, given that n = 3 and ℓ = 1 (because it is a p orbital). The total number of nodes present in this orbital is equal to n-1. In this case, 3-1=2, so there are 2 total nodes. The quantum number ℓ determines the number of angular nodes; there is 1 angular node, specifically on the xy plane because this is a pz orbital. Because there is one node left, there must be one radial node. To sum up, the 3pz orbital has 2 nodes: 1 angular node and 1 radial node.
Another example is the 5dxy orbital. There are four nodes total (5-1=4) and there are two angular nodes (d orbital has a quantum number ℓ=2) on the xz and zy planes. This means there there must be two radial nodes. The number of radial and angular nodes can only be calculated if the principle quantum number, type of orbital (s,p,d,f), and the plane that the orbital is resting on (x,y,z, xy, etc.) are known.
5d orbital (two radial nodes and two angular nodes)
We can think of an atom like a hotel. The nucleus is the lobby where the protons and neutrons are, and in the floors above, we find the rooms (orbitals) with the electrons. The principle quantum number is the floor number, the subshell type lets us know what type of room it is (s being a closet, p being a single room, d having two adjoining rooms, and f being a suit with three rooms) , the magnetic quantum number lets us know how many beds there are in the room, and two electrons can sleep in one bed (this is because each has a different spin; -1/2 and 1/2). For example, on the first floor we have the s orbital. The s orbital is a closet and has one bed in it so the first floor can hold a total of two electrons. The second floor has the room styles s and p. The s is a closet with one bed as we know and the p room is a single with three beds in it so the second floor can hold a total of 8 electrons.
Each orbital, as previously mentioned, has its own energy level associated to it. The lowest energy level electron orbitals are filled first and if there are more electrons after the lowest energy level is filled, they move to the next orbital. The order of the electron orbital energy levels, starting from least to greatest, is as follows: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p.
Since electrons all have the same charge, they stay as far away as possiible because of repulsion. So, if there are open orbitals in the same energy level, the electrons will fill each orbital singly before filling the orbital with two electrons. For example, the 2p shell has three p orbitals. If there are more electrons after the 1s, and 2s orbitals have been filled, each p orbital will be filled with one electron first before two electrons try to reside in the same p orbital. This is known as Hund's rule.
The way electrons move from one orbital to the next is very similar to walking up a flight of stairs. When walking up stairs, you place one foot on the first stair and then another foot on the second stair. At any point in time, you can either stand with both feet on the first stair, or on the second stair but it is impossible to stand in between the two stairs. This is the way electrons move from one electron orbital to the next. Electrons can either jump to a higher energy level by absorbing, or gaining energy, or drop to a lower energy level by emitting, or losing energy. However, electrions will never be found in between two orbitals.

NMMA reports on start of winter show season
Posted onDespite drops in attendance, the National Marine Manufacturers Association is reporting better-than-expected sales at its first five boat shows of the season.
The five shows took place in New York, Kansas City, Mo., Nashville, Tenn., San Diego and New Orleans. Attendance was down by double-digit percentages at all shows, except New Orleans, which saw a 5 percent drop in attendance.
"We expected to be down in attendance this year as a result of the economy, and while we wished we had greater numbers through the gate, we were nonetheless happy with the quality of attendees and both encouraged and optimistic to know that serious, interested buyers were, indeed, attending and buying," said Ben Wold, NMMA executive vice president, in a statement.
"Exhibitors at shows in each of the five markets have been informing us that sales-wise, they're doing better than expected — some even saying they're outperforming last year, which tells us boat shows continue to be a solid selling venue," he added.

On a bright Tuesday morning in Guayaquil, photographer Daniella Vacy and reporter Yadira Yesca slid out of a small four by four vehicle and headed towards the entrance of the police morgue. Staffers at Extra, a popular Ecuadorian tabloid, Vacy and Yesca were making their morning round, looking for bodies. An earlier visit to an unattended traffic death morgue had failed, but she swore there was a body inside. "They always turn on the window fans when there's a corpse," she said.
Approaching the police morgue, Yesca carried a few copies of that day's issue of Extra; handing a copy to the guard, she walked through the front gate and into the head medical examiner's small, dimly lit office, waiting for him to hang up the phone. I do not recall the doctor speaking beyond a few noises of assent. "Are there any dead?" Yesca asked, with practiced disinterest. There were two.
We walked around to the front of the building, out of Guayaquil's tropical heat and into the cool place where bodies are kept. Vacy, barred by law from entering, stayed outside. A young boy was splayed across the table in a pool of blood, gunshot wounds puncturing his body. Yadira gave the corpse a cursory look, jotted down a few notes, and headed for the door. That, maybe, would be one of the day's big stories.
Outside of the morgue, the dead boy's family gathered on the sidewalk, discussing the crime—how the boy was shot dead by members of his girlfriend's family, angry that the working class boy was dating their middle class girl. Vacy circled around and photographed them, close, while they spoke. The shots were poor substitutes for actual photographs of the body. But, for now, they would have to do.
In August 2008, Ecuadorian Interior Minister Fernando Bustamante issued new regulations intended to crack down on Extra and other newspapers that made a practice of publishing lurid photographs of corpses. He ordered police to keep dead bodies, whether on the street or in the morgue, from being photographed by reporters. The government, claiming that it acted to protect victims' privacy, emphasized that the order regulated public servants rather than private photographers. But the move was a clear, if indirect, attack on the widely read and controversial daily. Officers who violated the order and let photographers close to an exposed body would be punished.
More than eight months later, the covers of Extra still feature photographs of corpses, regularly adjacent to photos of bikini-clad women. Extra staffers concede that the new regulations have made their job a little tougher. But they say that their dedication to getting the photos, coupled with a network of citizen informers who call in tips, ensures that they often arrive before police, who can be less than diligent in securing crime scenes.
Henry Holguin, Extra's longtime editor, rejects accusations that the paper exploits misery and death. In fact, he says that Extra is the only Ecuadorian paper that truly belongs to the little people, offering them a shot at justice in a highly unequal country long plagued by police and government corruption, abuse and incompetence. Politicians, he says, are simply embarrassed by the country's high level of violent crime—and would prefer that it be swept under the rug. "They are more against the people who write about and photograph the murders than the murderers themselves," Holguin told me.
Extra and other Latin American tabloids differ from their U.S. and European counterparts in their focus on the crime reporting called the cronica roja, or red chronicle. Extra prioritizes blood and gore over the celebrity intrigue that graces the covers of our National Enquirer or the UK's Daily Mirror. Photo spreads of women in bikinis, like the ones that appear each week in the "Sexy Monday" section, are an important but secondary draw.
It is, by far, the country's most popular newspaper. Among critics, the paper inspires derision sometimes inflected by class condescension; supporters range from professing a simple epicurean joy to strongly identifying with the tabloid's more inclusive social realism. For many Extra readers, the paper offers a view of society more closely hewn to their lived experience. While "serious" newspapers report on dramatic events with removed dispassion, Extra represents violence and scandal as those proximate to such events perceive it—that is, sensationally.
"Readers aren't looking for political or economic information from Extra," says communications professor Fernando Checa, author of a book about the paper and director of the Quito-based International Centre of Higher Studies in Communication for Latin America (CIESPAL). "They want to read what the paper offers: violence, sports, celebrity gossip, and erotic stories."

The City of Powell puts on a Summer Concert Series called Lolli-pops. Although there are no lollipops at this event, it is a lot of fun for your infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and maybe even slightly older.
I had just heard about it and so far we've been twice. The first time the music was not engaging for the kids and it was raining. Luckily there is a pavilion in the back where we sat under and stayed dry.
The second time the music was fabulous and Jolie even wanted to go closer to the stage where a lot of the preschoolers were dancing and singing. There are also buckets of chalk upfront so she could draw on the sidewalk.
There is plenty to do here as there is a playground and splash pad far enough away from the stage and sitting area to not disturb those listening but close enough to chase your kid around as they go back and forth (what toddler sits still for an hour?!).
At 2, my daughter is still figuring out these "splash pads" as she's a little intimidated to run through the spraying water especially with lots of other kids around. We bring her bathing suit regardless because the kids from the splash pad run over to the playground so it's all wet too.
Jolie's favorite part is the train and of course like every park, the rocker.
If you haven't been, check the City of Powell schedule for the next concert. It's really so nice and a great place to get together with other moms!
- Bring your bathing suit and towel regardless. Even those parents that think there kids won't like it will get wet if playing in the playground or seeing all the other kids at the splash pad will make them want to get close enough. Trust me!
- Bring a change of clothes just in case. Everything gets wet!
- Bring snacks and even lunch if you want to stay after the concert, which lasts from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. Under the pavilion there are some picnic tables.
- Bring a blanket to sit on the lawn. If you have a newborn, I recommend trying to get a spot under the pavilion as there is not any shade on the lawn and it gets hot even on a nice day.
- Leave the stroller behind unless you have too much stuff or an infant of course.
- Leave your valuables in the car as you will be chasing the kids around and not really able to keep an eye out on all your stuff. It's completely safe but I do this just in case.
- Arrive EARLY! Parking fills up quickly and there is overflow parking but it's farther away. We like to arrive between 9-9:30 a.m. so we can get a good spot and Jolie can try the splash pad before it gets overwhelming for her.
- Most importantly, this event and place is FREE!!!

With six years of Resistance development under their belts with Sony, Insomniac are beginning a fresh stage in company history with a new IP - the project known at E3 2011 as Overkill is now called Fuse.
The name isn't all that's changed. The rebranded game has an aesthetic styling more akin to Resistance than previously expected - disappointing those hoping for a completely new approach from Sony's former second-party studio.
CVG spoke to Insomniac president Ted Price and Fuse's creative director Brian Allgeier ahead of the game's Spring 2013 release, discussing what exactly sets Fuse apart from the wealth of gun-centric IPs already on the market.
Traditionally, Insomniac create an IP and stick with it for a very long time. What was it about Fuse's concept that made it the next big Insomniac IP?
BA: We're always excited about advanced weaponry and imaginative weapons, and we tend to play games more socially now. We play with wives and brothers and friends. The idea of combining this co-operative aspect with crazy hi-tech weaponry was very exciting.
Games such as Red Faction and Bulletstorm have sold themselves on unique weapons. How is Fuse's proposition different from the rest?
TP: I think it has to do with four unique players. Four unique archetypes in a third-person shooter, and those weapons are integrally tied to those characters. They reflect the character personalities and they enhance the character archetypes. That helps create combat scenarios you won't find in other games and the opportunity to work together you won't have in other third-person shooters.
Why did you originally call the project Overstrike?
BA: Well, we had thought about The Expendables and the A-Team and naturally we wanted to name it after the squad. But once we were working on Fuse and realised it was the driving force behind the gameplay, it made sense that Fuse was much bigger than the team.
A lot of the weapons have changed since that initial project. What's been the biggest shift?
BA: The game was originally going to be a four-player stealth game, and Naya was going to be able to cloak herself and cloak other people. But we quickly discovered that there was always going to be a Leeroy Jenkins who runs in the middle of the group, wakes everyone up and ruins it for everyone. So we dialled back the stealth.
We heard one team member describing the ideas of the E3 2011 trailer as restrictive earlier...
TP: On the previous version we were self-restricted from doing a lot of the over-the-top, in-your-face, high-impact weapon deaths that we are used to. Once we made the decision to go darker with our tone we were able to take the handcuffs off and do crazy crap to the enemies.
BA: The moment we started playing around with how severe and unstable we could make this alien tech, the more brutal and violent and surprising the weapons became. But out of that we discovered when you do have an element of humour and a bit of stylisation, it becomes so much more intense and brighter when you're in a grounded universe - unlike a game like Ratchet and Clank where we're stylising every single doorknob, box and character, and the stakes don't seem so high. I think Fuse's humour is going to be more potent now, because the rest of the world has a more serious tone.

With Black Friday violence an unfortunate reality in the US each year, Canadian comedian and actor Marlon Palmer aka 'That Dude McFly,' questions the shopping holiday from a Canadian point of view.
Known best for his comedic viral social commentary "Shit Jamaican People Say" and "Shit Toronto People Say," That Dude McFly orchestrates this distinctly Canadian take on the American holiday. He explains that in Canada, Boxing Day is the "holy grail of shopping days."
He doesn't understand Black Friday violence like last year when a man was shot while in line for a new pair of Jordan sneakers. He also wonders if all the running around and trampling is worth it.
"There's one thing I do know, you Americans are crazy," declares McFly.

Some of us look at it as an extra day off in the wake of those wearying holidays. But for many folks, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a time to celebrate community. As always, there are numerous ways to join others for that purpose, but the most time-honored must be the Marade, an annual march from City Park to Civic Center that's attended by civic leaders and bookended by special invocations, presentations and a good helping of gospel music. To participate this year, gather at the King statue near the Museum of Natural History, in City Park, at 9 a.m. for a 10 a.m. stepoff; for information, call the Urban League of Denver, 303-388-5861. A bus to the parade also leaves the Iliff School of Theology, 2201 S. University Blvd., at 8:30 a.m.; call 303-765-3191 for details.
Looking for other ways to participate? The Neighborhood Resource Center of Metro Denver is working with neighborhoods to encourage MLK Day Peace Dinners by distributing Peace Dinner Packs containing block-organizing tips, neighborhood grant applications, the text of King's "I Have a Dream" speech and more, available in Spanish and English. To obtain a kit, call 303-561-2215. And it's probably not too late to volunteer for the Dinner for Those Who Hunger, a King commemoration sponsored annually by Volunteers of America. Coats and winter clothing will be handed out and more than 1,500 meals served to the tune of live jazz and gospel music at Sunset Park, 1865 Larimer St., from 3 to 6 p.m.; for information call 303-297-0408 or log on to www.voacolorado.org.

He's from Colorado and he's a winner: Author Stephen White has the detective/thriller genre sewn up in his pocket wherever books are sold. But for us here in the metro area, his mysteries are especially fun to read because they're set in these parts and star Boulder psychologist Alan Gregory. In White's latest, Manner of Death, the investigating gets personal for Gregory but also touches on the D.B. Cooper paradox, musing on what happened to that guy loaded down with loot who parachuted out of a plane years ago and disappeared. White drops by the Rue Morgue Mystery Bookshop, 946 Pearl St. in Boulder, tonight at 7 to talk and sign; call 303-443-8346.

Exquisite Cabarete Bay Condo!!! Review Submitted: August 14, 2012 Date of Stay: July 2012 This Cabarete Bay condo is amazing! The condo is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The patio is such a comfortable and inviting place to watch the sunset. The infinity pool is just steps outside your condo door. We ate out most evenings, but the large kitchen has everything you might need to cook with if you choose to. The condo is close to all of the restaurants/bars in Cabarete if you decide to eat out. Sonja, the property manager is most helpful and made us feel so welcome! We couldn't have had a more wonderful family vacation and we definitely enjoyed our time at this location!!! We can't wait to come again! Thank you!

This time the pictures didn't do the place justice Review Submitted: May 9, 2012 Date of Stay: March 2012 This was my first time ever renting a vacation home, and have learned how great it can be (and cheaper too). I was looking for a nice relaxing place to spend my last spring break in college with a group of friends (12 in total) and this placed seemed great when I was looking around - we decided to live here because it had such great reviews already and thought hell why not. Needless to say out experience here was excellent. The rooms were very big (esp. the master bedroom) and the location was unbeatable. You could literally roll out of bed and walk to the beach, or pool (whichever you prefer). When we stayed many of the other homeowners in the complex weren't there so it was almost like having our own private beach, which was amazing. Since there were 12 of us, we all shared beds (there are 6 beds total). The guards were all very nice, and were helpful in providing us information about the town. The thing that I loved about planning this vacation was how easy it was. I was literally in contact with the management group and setup airport transportation to and from the airport as well as answering all my questions (I had a ton). We flew in from NYC to Santiago since plane tickets were cheaper. We all ended up cooking most of our food during our stay here, and yes the kitchen comes fully stocked with knives, plates, pans, etc. The super market was about a 10 minute walk on a sidewalk (it was called janets) and prices were pretty cheap too. If you didn't want to walk back to the apartment complex after getting some groceries you could ride a motorcycle back for 100 pesos. All the restaurants nearby were easily accessible by the beach or by the road. During our stay they even had a St. Patrick's day parade in town (there is one irish pub there called jose o'shay's). It was a lot of fun. I would HIGHLY recommend living here - the place is wonderful, the location is as close as you'll get to the center of town while still having a great place to stay. If you do end up going, I would recommend going through Iguana Mama and booking waterfall jumping tours if you are up for it (90 bucks will provide you with transportation, food, and 8 hours of fun). We did the 12 waterfall jump, the largest one was about 25ft. All of us were scared of heights, but we all still made it through. And rent the donkey if you do. You'll thank me later.

Amazing place for relaxation, sports and party ! Left on 08/30/2011 for a stay in June 2011
The chic atmosphere and decor are amazing. The services included were good and the rooms were comfortable and of the highest quality. The condo is ideally located right on the beach and 2 minutes away from the nightlife and town activities. This place is great for couples, singles or families looking for a unique Cabarete experience. The view of the pool and beach from our room was the best !

Luxury in Paradise Left on 06/26/2011 for a stay in March 2011
From the initial booking to the final departure, the service offered at Ocean Harmony was without doubt one of the very best I've ever had in all my travels. Whatever was needed was instantly provided with such gracious hospitality. The place is so spacious and beautifully decorated. It was such a delight to wake up every morning to the view of the infinity pool with the ocean as its backdrop. I loved that it was only steps from the beach as well as the action in Cabarete. I stayed with three other girlfriends and didn't even need to rent a car. We felt so safe knowing that it was a gated community with security at all times. I even got my first kitesurfing lessons right on the beach near our place. It was sad leaving but I'm already looking forward to our next girls' trip. Jomartine Miami, Florida
Romantic Valentine's Day Get-Away! Left on 06/27/2011 for a stay in February 2011
My fiance surprised me with a trip to the DR for Valentine's Day. Living in Miami, it was the perfect distance for a quick weekend get-away. Cabarete is absolutely beautiful. I've seen many beaches throughout the world and was stunned by the beauty of this beach. The azure waters, the endless sea-views and the gentle winds, created a very Winslow Homer like portrait in my mind. My boyfriend booked a beachfront condo at Sea Lane as we love the cozier feel over a hotel. We stayed in a villa called Harmony and had an amazing time. From the infinity pool to ocean views down to the cleanliness and service we received, it was truly a Valentine's Day of a lifetime. It could not have been more perfect. CottonCandyMiami Maimi
Cabarete Dream Vacation Review Submitted: July 6, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011 Was the listing descripton accurate regarding the location, layout, amenities, etc? - Sealane Management was excellent and the description given was very accurate in regards to everything. It was prime location and was fully equipped and very nicely furnished. Was the property clean, was it well-maintained, etc? The property was clean and the maid service came every other day to clean the house, sheets, floors etc. The condo looked EXACTLY like what is in the pictures. Did the owner provide good customer service? Their manager was very good and hospitable. She was there to cater to every one of our needs. Would you recommend this property to a friend or relative Yes i would, I travelled there with most of my immediate family this year. We plan to go back next year. What activities, attractions and restaurants did you like or dislike My family took Kitesurfing Lessons at Club Nathalie Simon next door, Casita de Papi is an excellent restaurant on the beach among others (lax, pomodoro)! We had an amazing time!

Lap of Luxury Review Submitted: July 5, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011 The ideal place for relaxing and reading! I loved the modern furnishings, ample space, excellent amenities, convenient location, and beautiful infinity pool in front of the bay. The incredible moves of the kitesurfers are particularly enjoyable when you need to stretch the eye muscles beyond the inside of a book. I've always been one to avoid the chain hotels and franchise restaurants and it was such a delight that Cabarete has remained immune to the corporate takeover. There is one main street with charming boutiques, restaurants, clubs, supermarkets, excursion tours, and spas. Everything you need is found right there and so close to Harmony. Getting around is so easy, too. Cars are not needed cause all you have to do is walk to the entrance and a selection of motoconchos are at your disposal. The drivers are eagerly waiting to whisk you to your desired destination whether it is a few seconds to a spinning class or an hour's distance to a ranch for horseback riding. They are so friendly and very inexpensive. You can't get that service and price with renting a car.

Boys' Getaway!!! Review Submitted: July 5, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011 When tents and hostels are below your standards and its time to move to affordable luxury, Harmony is the place to stay. We needed a spot on the water and comfortable for our lifestyle. Needless to say, the place was spacious for the four of us and had a great patio near the pool for hanging out on. The little town of Cabarete is right next door and has some really great restaurants like Miros and Nikki Beach. We spent many a night at Lax and Ojos after kiting all day. Very friendly people in Cabarete! Recommended for: Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway

Great Place Review Submitted: May 9, 2012 Date of Stay: March 2012 I have stayed in this place several times. I love the place, very spacious, clean and a short walk to the beautiful cabarete beach, bars and restaurants. Place has all the amenities needed and is very centrally located. The owner and administration are very good people as I have never had a problem here. Will always attempt to stay here as long as the owners will have me! Look forward to my next vacation in October 2012! Thanks again!
Fantastic Place in the right Location Left on 11/19/2009 for a stay in February 2009
I loved it there, would definatly go back..Amazing luxury rooms and the Views! You literally look out straight into the Ocean. The residence made my vacation wonderful!

Amazing Left on 11/19/2009 for a stay in November 2008
30 people invited for my birthday where we all stay at Ocean Dream condos right on the beach of Cabarete. All apartments are spacious, perfectly equipped and nicely decorated. The perfect location to enjoy the beautiful bay of Cabarete, try all the various activities during the day, and enjoy the restaurants and bars at night. All of that was done by only walking on the beach without taking any transportation or seeing any road traffic. People are friendly and easy going. This was a unique way of celebrating my birthday A USA
Gorgeous, ultra-comfy place Left on 11/12/2009 for a stay in December 2008
Location: perfect, in front of kitesurfers' spot, 5mn walk from shops and restaurants. Apartment: huge rooms and beds, fully equipped, 100% comfort, beautiful, classy inside decoration, nice lawn. Silent air-conditioning, anti-mosquito grids, satellite TV, broadband internet, the whole bit. Whatever else you need is one phone call away: all you have to do is buzz the courteous and efficient condo administrator and she will deliver it quickly. Neighborhood: quiet and laid back, great to relax. Small town warmth and safe feeling. Nevertheless, a 5mn walk on the beach is all it takes to find restaurants and clubs with a nice mix of local and international food, rhythms and people. Two unforgettable things: - the stunning Olympic size swimming pool designed to give you the optic illusion that it pours into the sea, and - the night sky where the milky way is so bright that it will stun stargazers and make lovers very romantic; it will make you remember how wonderful it is to be alive and part of nature's majestic, infinite and eternal beauty. Romantically inclined dating-anxious singles may find the nightlife quickly repetitive and/or a bit too materialistic, even though everybody there is really nice and laid-back ... Cabarete is best for wind/kitesurfing or for chilling out with your significant other and/or family. damondeville Recife, Northeast Brazil
Awesome Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008 We already booked our next vacation here! Perfect for kiteboarding - particularly if you have non-kiteboarders in the group who can watch you from the terrace or pool. Ideal for kids. Recommended for: Adventure S Ariel P.

Kite Surfing and beachfront paradise!!!! Review Submitted: April 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2008 This is the best Kite Surfing / relax comfort of my life. You have a incredible 4 bedrooms with direct view on an turquoise lap pool and right after on one of the best beach/kite surfing spot in the world. No need to take a car, you do it all walking or on motorcycle: Restaurants, bar, kiting, surfing... The residence is right on the beach with direct acess and super safe and clean. I recommend really really great!!!! Recommended for: Adventure Seekers, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway

Good Trip Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009 We have really appreciated that apartment, really comfortable, with my wife and our two children. The place is ideal for Kitesurfing, my wife could sunbath near the pool sheltered from the wind. The kids have been playing all days on the beach, in front of the apartment. The shops are really near and at night ,we could diner, feet in the sand, at a few steps from our Condo. The bay is perfect for navigation, and my two children had the opportunity to start Kitesurfing, in a safety place. We expect to return there this summer, the wind conditions are supposed be excellent.

Birthday Party Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008 I did my birthday staying at Harmony, it was great. The best place to have fun, do sport, relax, and party.

Dream suite for dream vacation Review Submitted: March 28, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008 This condo has huge rooms and beds, top-of-the-line first-world comfort (impeccable AC, windows with embedded insect protection grids, fully equipped kitchen and living room), a beautiful architecture and last but not least a stunning 25 meters front beach pool with a lowered rim that creates the optical illusion that its water smoothly merges into the ocean. The beach is one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen (and I have been to the red sea and quite a few other tropical paradises) and so is the night sky with the bright Milky Way's stardust painting the ocean water a glittery silver. You feel in a wilderness paradise at the end of the world, yet you have more comfort than at home. The location is perfect, in the very heart of the kite boarder's spot and a 5mn walk from food marts and the Cabarete village, which felt very safe at all time. As far as could tell, nightlife is limited to a few restaurants and bars at the edge of Cabarete's beach. They have excellent food but the music tended to be too loud and too international for me (too much house, hip-hop. R&B and reggaeton, too little salsa, merengue and bachata). The crowd is nicely laid back and friendly, though its overwhelmingly gringo tourists / local material tourist seekers composition may become a bit numbing in the long run for romantically inclined well-traveled singles used to the diversity of big, cosmopolitan cities ;). All in all a terrific place for an unforgettable vacation.

It is a great time here. Thanks for taking care of us. We are loving our vacation! George and Vicky
Our holiday in Cabarete was a joy from start to finish. Sonja promptly answered all of my e-mails before the trip which allowed us to plan our visit. The condos itself made a great home from home, was comforatbly furnished with a spacious living room, a kitchen with all the facilities, 3 luxurious bedrooms and a great and a cozy porch. The condos are only few meters from the beach which was ideal for relaxation. A beautiful swimming pool with sunbeds and table tennis was perfect for spending the afternoon hours. I throughly recommend this wonderful apartment to anyone who needs a great holiday!

fabulous panoramic cruise ship views impeccable service Left on 08/10/2012 for a stay in November 2011
This specific condo is absolutely phenomenal. Each time our party has resided here we sit in awe of the views and landscaping that highlights the visual experience. We have returned several times with new friends. This is how the creme de la creme live and discover tranquility. Often we sit mesmerized & laugh about how great our lives are (just for this week) while eating breakfast on the patio every single morning. Then we entertain friends in the evening because there is truly no where else to be that is so pleasing by candlelight. Why spend our precious limited time looking for a beach side ocean view lounge, when the spa setting is right here at our residence? The owner and management are the perfect host and hostess. I have found myself recommending this specific condo as well as the other condos in their portfolio to folks back home in the states, as well as a choice few on the plane ride home. The furnishings are tasteful, comfortable and add to the sense of tranquility. All of the domestic amenities are there on premises. Management is timely and very responsive to our individual needs. The village of Cabarete is fantastic, so is the location of the condo because it`s just a 5 minute stroll east of the residencial area. We refer to it as the cruise ship because of the panoramic vistas; it`s like docking in the finest port, but just far enough away to have privacy and peace of mind. The village is very interesting and diverse with all sorts of choices for dining. We never take taxis anywhere; It`s much more interesting than the all-inclusive accommodations, because you have the freedom to move about on foot and make dining & entertainment choices while walking along the magnificent north coast.

In February my husband and I with another couple visited Cabarete for the first time and had an amazing experience. The apartment is well kept, beautiful, cleaning service was great and the grounds so well kept, we were impressed with our surroundings. Everybody so friendly, tight security on the premises. Loved it so much we rented the apartment again and are heading back this august. Everything from the booking to arrival was seemless, Sonja made arrangements ahead of time for our pickup, greeted us and is just wonderful person to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Best value in Caberete Left on 08/08/2012 for a stay in February 2012
We have stayed in several places in DR and Sealane Condos (ocean Dream condos) are by far the best. The staff is great, great security, the condos are beautiful and the grounds are perfect. Booking excursions was simple. The beach was beautiful. Ask for Sonja she makes the whole experience effortless.

One of the best in Caberete. Left on 08/08/2012 for a stay in February 2012
This condo was very spacious with a/c, wireless Internet. It shares a large pool with a few other condos but it was always quiet and hardley anyone else there. The walk to the beach is less than a minute. It is safe and secure, the gardeners and security workers are very nice. Markets, restaurants, and bars are in walking distance.

Fabulous Place! Left on 08/08/2012 for a stay in March 2012
I have stayed in this unit many times and I can tell you that it is a great unit. Close to town and close to the beach - can walk to both. The entire place is top notch. Very quiet and secure. Bathrooms are large and clean with 24/7 hot water. King bed in master bedroom with large bathroom and spacious walk in shower. Two other good size bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms. Large living room with high ceilings, comfy wrap around couch and nice TV. Celing fans and aC throughout. Great dining area to seat 8-10 and clean modern kitchen with all the appliances you would need. Great for parties or just a romantic getaway. Comfy large patio with hammock and wrap around couch just off the living room - overlooking the large clean pool that is right out in back. Great security and administration (sonja). If you read any negative review of this place - it simply is not true. This place offers all the comforts of a five star resort. I have always enjoyed my stay here and will continue to vacation here for many years to come. You will not be disappointed! Happy vacation! Ps. Feel free to contact me if you desire.

Beautiful condo Review Submitted: May 9, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2012 We were delightfully surprised to find ourselves upgraded at no additional fee to this 3-BR condo when we arrived. We had booked a 2-BR condo but were upgraded because we were part of a group of family members attending a wedding. The public areas and grounds are maintained beautifully. Security is very effective and the personnel are friendly. The property manager, Sonja, was a phenomenal source of information. She was always responsive when we had questions and made sure that the few problems we had were resolved promptly and thoroughly. The weather was uncharacteristically wet for the season so we were unable to take advantage of the pool. The beach was quite near so we could enjoy a walk when the weather permitted. Ocean Dream is located within a very easy walk to a small grocery store (which delivers), a pharmacy,a wonderful Belgian bakery, and several good casual restaurants, one of which was located directly across the street. If we were to return to Cabarete, we would definitely stay at Ocean Dream again, particularly if Sonja was still there.
Amazing Cabarete vacation Review Submitted: May 9, 2012 Date of Stay: April 2012 This condo looks exactly as the pictures in the website. Beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. The pool and grounds in this complex are impeccably maintained. 24 hours a day security, all the security staff was very friendly and professional. There is a chef available in case you want a home cooked meal. We used the chef once and she was amazing. As far as location it doesn't get any better. There is a supermarket, pharmacy, bank, etc right outside the gate. The center of town is about 5 minutes walk. We ate out almost every day. The food was good, some places better than others, but overall no complains. Nightlife was good, lots of bars and restaurants right on the beac. Our group had the best time. We would definitely go back to Cabarete and stay at Ocean Dream. Daniel V.
a great place to stay! Review Submitted: May 8, 2012 Date of Stay: April 2012 We loved the location and quiet of our condo and would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Cabarete. We travelled with my parents and our twin sixteen month old children. The condo was plenty spacious for all of us and the babies loved walking around in the garden. The beach is very close- just a moment's walk down a private, secure entry. What amazed me was that the main road is just two minutes away and yet at night the condo was so quiet we could not hear a single moto. The manager, Sonja, was very helpful and arranged a pack and play for us so that we only had to travel with one. The pool is beautiful and very clean (though note- no shallow end). Just outside the entrance to the Ocean View condos are several excellent places to eat- among them amazing sushi & fabulous Mexican. My favorite part of our stay was going out on a stand-up paddle board for two of our mornings. Terry M.

Vacation Trip Review Submitted: May 3, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009 As this was my first trip to the Dominican Republic, I was looking for a place where my group was close to the water sport activities and walking distance to shops and restaurants... Check-in was a breeze; the rooms were just like the pictures from the website, staff very friendly and safe at night to walk around the area... In my opinion everything was in walking distance, the drug store, supermarket, and the people of Cabarete were very friendly as well... Taxi service can be arrange at the gate if need or you can always flags a taxi as soon as you come out; Sosua is about 15 min drive in the taxi, Puerto Plate is about 45 to 50 min in a taxi... I highly recommend this property for all ages and groups... Mostly everything is in walking distance and close access to all types of water sports...

wake up to paradise and live the dream. Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009 Arriving at Sea Lane, my vacation began immediately. The accommodations boast luxury but without any pretension. The location is completely serene: beach is beautiful outside my window, consistent, perfect wind conditions! Everyday day around noon the wind machine start ! Kiteboarding conditions were very special .Lunching the Kite was easy , safe and not surrounding by to many people. We did many downwind from Sealane riding wave after wave for almost for one hour. A very short beach walk away distance from the local village piping with fun and amazing food . This spot was easy to get to but really hard to leave, I highly recommend Sea Lane for the person who wants to wake up to paradise and live the dream.

The perfect vacation condo Review Submitted: April 27, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2008 The six of us (grand-parents, parents and two children) spent an outstanding vacation week in this lovely luxurious so close to the beautiful sandy beach. The three bedrooms and huge living room were perfect for the family. We spent quite some time on the beach, swimming (the kids took surfing lessons) and watching the kite surfers enjoying themselves. But we also enjoyed the pool right in front of our terrace and surrounded by the well-kept garden. In the evenings we often walked to one of the nice restaurants right on the beach and village.

Very pleased with management and the property Review Submitted: April 23, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009 3 of us have returned to this specific 3-bedroom unit several times because we love the prompt, responsive, diligent service that we enjoy from management. The property & unit itself itself are handsome, it has an open floor plan, it`s clean and panoramic overlooking a large pool, with tiled and tropical landscapes. I spend most of my time on the balcony chaise lounge day and night. A broad panoramic section of Playa de Cabarete is less than 100meters away. The grounds & the unit itself are safe and secure, on the beach side of the main road. It`s a quiet gated neighborhood of condos, that are close to the entertainment, less than 200 meters away. Courteous service, usefulness & response time means alot to our party, we always get that assurance through SeaLane Cabarete. I am not an affiliate of Sealane just a happy customer.

Stylish ultra-comfortable condo Review Submitted: March 28, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009 This stylishly furnished condo is top-notch with vast bedrooms, beds, balconies with hammocks, fully equipped kitchen and living rooms.Perfect air-conditionning, double glass windows isolating totally from heat and noise (the whole area is very quiet anyway) and special gridded openings that let the beach wind in but keep the mosquitoes out. It also features a cute irregular shaped swimming pool surrounded by green grass. It's a bucolic looking haven of peace two blocks away from the Cabarete beach famous for being one of the very best kiteboarding and windsurfing spot on the planet. The beach is gorgeous, with a wide open ocean and an hypnotic night sky without a speck of light pollution allowing the Milky Way to display its endless splendor. Perfect for meditations and romantic moonlit walks on the surf sound. You are a 5mn walk away from food marts where you will find the basic necessities even if like me you are both a gourmet and a health nut (and hence quite a challenge to satisfy). People are very friendly and the whole area feels very safe.You can also find good restaurants at the edge of the beach. Nightlife is so-so but then again it is a tiny village lost in paradise so you can't reasonably ask for a Paris, New York or Rio level nightlife there ;).

Outstanding condo Review Submitted: October 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007 My wife, 2 small children, and I had a great vacation here. The condo was immaculate and decorated nicely. The rental agency staff were very friendly and helpful. The kids very much enjoyed the pool and surf. Dinners were pleasant with the kids playing in the sand next to our tables at the beachside restaurants.

Fabulous spot Review Submitted: June 22, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008 We traveled with 4 adults and 3 teens and this was a perfect condo setting. The unit itself was beyond our expectation: clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, friendly neighbors (some permanent, some rental, and some weekend get-aways from other parts of DR). Pool was great and the beach was fun although WINDY. But that is exactly what Cabarete is known for and this attracts world class wind surfers and kite boarders. It was a pleasure to watch their impressive stunts. The surf is great to swim in and we were told that a reef surrounds this area, called Kite Cove I think, so that there has never been a report of a shark sighting. Ocean Dream is quite private and secure but within minutes (walking) of the beach, downtown, and many restaurants. No car necessary; taxis are reasonable and plentiful. Staff is helpful. Our teens enjoyed independence but, we felt, with relative safety. Also, most other vacationers are not American, mainly European, so it did not feel like just another sun/fun tourist spot - no McDonalds or Pizza Hut! The Dominicans are kind and not so jaded nor desperate/pushy as one finds in Cancun, for example. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Great experience ! Review Submitted: November 11, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011 Loved my stay in Cabarete ! Condo was very clean, quite, almost on the beach and very close from downtown Cabarete. You feel in perfect security there with gards 24h/24 at the gate. The superb beach is very close from the condo I rented. Had to walk about 100 meters. The pool was touching my condo. No wind, very quite. Very clean. Some shops just outside the residence where you can get good food and drinks. You can walk to downtown Cabarete (about 3-4 min) but the best is to ride a "motoconcho". It takes you to the main street of Cabarete in 1 min max for 50 pesos. (1,5$) Loved my first experience at Ocean Dream ! Allready booked there my next year vacation. Alex G from Montreal, Canada
A great stay, a great place, and wonderful people Review Submitted: April 23, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009 As seasoned traveller to the Dominican with high expectations Ocean Dream met all my needs. It was described perfectly on the net. Service at check in and check out was professional, quick, and efficient. Information given was accurate and gave good instruction and direction. The complex itself very high quality construction. Nice furniture and a nice pool and BBQ area to entertain. The area is secured and patrolled and very tranquil compared to the surrounding area. The condo was very cleaned and serviced by a cleaning person for several hours 4 times during my 14 day stay. Cabarate is a 5 minute walk to the center and the little store across the street (where the also fix tires) is accomodating for juice, beer, and rum. Taxi's are arranged quited easily to Sosua and you could also catch a local taxi about every 5 minutes day or night. I would reccomend this property for any age group. It would be very appealing to all. Thanks again to Ocean Dream for a great vacation!

We were delighted with the housing--the condo was beautiful, and everyone in the office was so great and helpful in assisting us with our other vacation activities, such as finding a place to go deep-sea fishing. (Or, for me, deep sea vomiting.) It just felt so tropical and like a real get-away, with the lovely pool, lush plants, and better yet--the naked guy making dinner in the condo across from us! Tony is a really great dancing instructor. He never made us feel stupid or like we had two left feet, and just kept encouraging and pushing us to improve. He has a gift for teaching. He made an activity that has the potential for making one feel clumsy and foolish, into a really great time and learning experience...Overall, a fabulous and memorable vaction with no complaints at all except it was too hard to come back. Catharine
I have to send you a letter of thanks for an absolutely wonderful vacation. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The accommodations were 1st class all the way and centrally located for scuba, fishing, and shopping, not to mention dancing. And speaking of dancing; Tony, not only are you a spectacular instructor, but an absolute delight. I never thought learning to dance could be so much fun. Hope to see you again soon, Laurie
Ma femme et moi revenons à peine de votre unité 724 Ocean Dream à Cabarete. Votre condo était tout simplement parfait. Plus beau que sur les photographies sur internet! Le site est extraordinaire, le service de l'Agence est professionel, impeccable et convivial à la fois. Désolé de ne pas vous avoir rencontré mais soyez assurés que nous allons recommander vos condos à nos connaissances. Bon été! François, Halifax Canada

I work at a school that regularly sends students to the OUDC program. Not only does our school benefit from the rich relationships established from OUDC through its staff and network, but also by having our own students come back to teach their fellow students and teachers about what they have learned. Recently, one of our african-american male OUDC students invited his jewish male OUDC colleague to speak at our Martin Luther King Memorial Chapel. It was a powerful and authentic realization of the mission of OUDC.

2013 Infiniti JX

2013 Infiniti JX Performance
This performance review was written when the 2013 Infiniti JX was new.
Critics say the Infiniti JX's performance is disappointing. They write that although the JX has enough power for around-town driving, it feels weak on the highway. Reviewers say that this SUV's handling is biased more toward comfort than sporty driving. While that disappoints test drivers, buyers may not mind.
- "So it's not exactly a driver's car, but few crossovers are." -- Car and Driver
- "Performance is sleepy and uninspired from the driver seat." -- Edmunds
- "It's a convincingly upscale vehicle, but it also feels a bit less maneuverable and a bit more cumbersome in tight spaces than some of the other vehicles in its class." -- Consumer Guide
Acceleration and Power
The 2013 Infiniti JX comes with a 265-horsepower V6 engine and a continuously variable transmission. The base front-wheel drive model earns 18/24 mpg city/highway, according to the EPA, while the all-wheel drive trim nets 18/23 mpg. Those estimates are above-average for a luxury crossover.
Test drivers have a lot to say about the Infiniti JX's powertrain, and most of it isn't good.Though a few testers say that the JX likely offers enough power to meet the needs of buyers who plan to use it for carpooling or around-town errands, most say that it needs better acceleration to be competitive in its class. They concede that its continuously variable transmission (CVT) is one of the best on the market, but say that it still feels unnatural and doesn't make the best of the JX's limited horsepower.
See the full list of 2013 Infiniti JX specs »
- "In its quest for respectable fuel economy, however, Infiniti has hampered the JX with a V6/transmission combination that offers adequate power at best." -- Edmunds
- "There's plenty of power for scooting around suburbia, but it can feel a little weak at highway speeds, which we mostly attribute to the CVT transmission. Even with manual shift capability, we're not big fans of CVT's although Nissan does make one of the best." -- Motor Week
- "Furthermore, it's pretty much impossible to hustle in the JX. Apply half-throttle and you'll get decidedly 'meh' forward thrust. Floor the pedal, and you'll pretty much get the same. She's only going to go as fast as she's going to go." -- CNET
- "Our feelings 'shifted' from tragedy to comedy when we tested the manual shift mode in the JX. The transmission provides simulated shifts that feel utterly inauthentic, which makes us wonder why engineers keep bothering to include these faux shift programs." -- Autoblog
Handling and Braking
Many test drivers complain about the Infiniti JX's numb, ultra-light steering and available 20-inch wheels that they say significantly detract from ride quality. With the standard 18-inch wheels, reviewers say the JX's ride is composed and smooth. Many reviewers report that this SUV's handling is much less sporty than most other Infinitis', with more body roll than they were expecting. Still, a few writers point out that luxury SUV buyers might not care about the JX's light steering and floaty handling, since these shoppers likely care more about a comfortable ride and luxurious cabin than sporty handling.
- "Designed to be light in the driver's hands, the [steering] system goes way too far and feels excessively numb and removed from the front wheels. … Other than this frustrating oversight, the ride quality of the JX is comfortable if a bit plodding around corners." -- Los Angeles Times
- "Instead, body roll rules the day, and the steering is dialed in somewhere between light and feather. These attributes tend to turn off enthusiast drivers, but many luxury crossovers buyers will identify them as signs of progress." -- Autoblog
- "The suspension does its best to absorb whatever road irregularities it encounters, but there is some noticeable crashing. If it's like this on South Carolina's relatively smooth roads, we dread to think how JX will behave when it traverses Chicago's pockmarked streets." -- Consumer Guide
- "Slack, slow steering response and an overall feeling of portliness do little to encourage an expressive driving style." -- MSN

Bought this from Williams Sonoma. The saleslady said if it ever starts sticking to bring it back (even years later) -- so I thought I'l spend the $100 to give it a try.
So far I have only browned hamburger and made hamburgers in it (not very gourmet I know). After cooking the hamburgers in it the pan was a real mess (the hb's were great though) -- the pan cleaned up beautifully. I am planning on trying pork tenderloin and jambalaya in it this week as well. My only complaint so far (not really the pans fault) is that it is 12 inches and my burner (electric flat top) is not quite as big -- so I feel the edges of pan are not quite as hot as the center. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm guessing that you like your sauteuse a lot by now. I think Calphalon One make really good cookware and their non-stick is as good as non-stick gets. Take good care of it and it will last a long time. If it loses it non-stick properties Calphalon will replace it. I think you got a good buy. |

Our Lady of The Rosary Chapel
Our Lady of the Rosary Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel is located in Rochester, Minnesota. The Traditional Latin Mass is offered exclusively. Our church is associated with the Society of St. Pius V and the Congregation of St. Pius V - organizations of traditional Catholic priests dedicated to the traditional Latin Mass and the administration of the traditional Sacraments.
The priests follow the rubrics of the Mass according to the Roman Missal (Missale Romanum 1954) prior to any of the liturgical changes implemented by the Vatican II Council.
You are most welcome to browse our web site. If you are in the local Rochester area, please feel free to visit us here at our church. If you need directions to our church then please view the location link on this web site.
Dress code
You are most welcome to come and assist at Mass. Be advised that we do enforce a dress code while on church property. According to Apostolic Tradition and out of respect for our Lord's presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament, the faithful must dress modestly while in the church and assisting at Holy Mass. Hence, please observe the following rules:
Women and girls must wear a modest dress and cover their heads with either a hat or chapel veil. Short skirts or dresses that are above the knees, revealing blouses (such as low cut, sleeveless or see-through), slacks or shorts of any length do not meet the norms of Christian modesty.
Men and boys should be wearing neat trousers, a coat, jacket or a dress sweater and tie. Jeans, shorts, open shirts, sneakers and other such casual dress are inappropriate and do not meet the standards for Mass. Please be advised that the priest reserves the right to refuse Holy Communion to anyone, who in his prudent judgment, does not meet the requirements of the Rules for Receiving Holy Communion and Dress Code as stated above.

TUCSON - Pima County Public Library supplements security guards with Tucson Police Department Special Duty Officers for increased safety at local libraries.
PCPL sets aside $750,000 of its $35 million budget for security. $110,000 of that goes to TPD for off duty officers to protect three of the 27 library branches in Tucson. Melinda Cervantes, Pima County Library Director, says the cost is necessary for the peace of mind for library patrons.
"There were some incidents that made both the patrons and the staff feel uncomfortable and unsafe. So in order to provide a safe working environment we introduced special duty officers," explains Cervantes.
The Eckstrom-Columbus Library Branch is one of the three locations TPD helps keep secure. Chuck Williams, a regular to the library, feels their presence is a good thing.
Williams says, "I've seen people dealing drugs right here in the parking lot and there is a lot of young people that come here. So I think having a security guard is good but having police is better."
Anything from fights to domestic disputes have been seen at the libraries but having an officer on site is keeping the number of incidents down.
From June to October 2013 with no officer present there was an average of 28 incidents a month, however, since TPD showed up that number has been cut in half.
Cervantes says, "We're doing our part to make it a safe environment children and adults alike."
It may be costly to tax payers but according to library patron, Matthew Burke, just seeing a police car makes him feel safer.
"Obviously if it's worked. They say presence is a deterrent and that's so much of what's going to keep the incidence from reoccurring," says Burke.
Of the 27 public libraries, 13 are secured by an independent contractor and three of those are protected by TPD.
