I bought these shoes for a trip to Jamaica. They are cute and comfy. They are on the narrow side, so if you have wide feet these would not work for you. The only problem that I had with them was that the strap wouldn't stay velcroed shut. But, I was climbing Dunn's waterfall in Jamaica.Read More

How To Choose Women's Shapewear
You bought an elegant evening dress to wear to a performance, but there's just one problem: You've eaten one too many cookies this season and your tummy is anything but flat. Have no fear: Shapewear is here! Whether you want to slim your stomach, thighs, bottom or other problem areas or just want to create sleek curves, women's shapewear can help you achieve your goal.

How to Use Cycling Shoes
Cycling shoes are designed to improve a cyclist's performance. The sole of a cycling shoe has limited flexibility, which helps a cyclist concentrate all his or her power on pedaling. Cycling shoes also have special cleats that clip into clipless pedals (a very misleading name) to prevent the shoes from slipping off and allow you to pull up on your pedals, increasing your cycling performance. Once clipped in, the bike shoes will remain attached until the cyclist is ready to disengage. Cycling shoes are specially designed for various styles of cycling, including road racing, spinning, touring, off-road biking and mountain biking. Road-cycling shoes usually have slick plastic soles that aren't designed to provide traction. Mountain-bike shoes, on the other hand, look more like regular hiking shoes and are more suited to walking.
How To Shop for Athletic Shoes
If your running shoes have seen better days or you are ready to begin a new fitness regime, it's time to shop for athletic shoes.

How to Buy Cycling Shoes
As with most sports, cycling has an array of gear made specifically for it. Cycling shoes, for example, are designed to help a cyclist perform better. While regular tennis shoes or sneakers slip on the pedals of a bike, cycling shoes grip the pedals. The stiffness of the soles of these shoes combined with the ability to fasten to the pedals of the bike allow for optimum efficiency when cycling. If you are participating in cycling, it is necessary to buy biking shoes to get the most out of bike rides without wasting energy.
How to Secure a Duvet Cover

FAQs about Bracelet Fit
Most jewelry is one-size-fits-all. Necklaces slip easily around necks, and earrings are a standard size, so jewelry size isn't usually difficult to select. Bracelets can be a bit trickier, as wrists vary slightly, but not enough to require a wide range of sizes, like rings. Bracelet fit is important for comfort and style. A loose bangle can fall off and be lost, and tight cuffs can be painful and unattractive. When shopping for jewelry, consider these common questions about bracelet fit.

Best Bathroom Accessory Ideas
The bathroom is a key space in any home because it is an intimate area where you bathe and groom. Make it your haven or turn a shared bathroom into an inviting space by furnishing it with decorative and useful pieces. Look for bathroom accessories that help you relax and add to the decor. Here are some of the best bathroom accessory ideas to help you make the most out of your bathroom. Massaging bath mat: Massaging bath mats are bathroom accessories that can change your bathing experience. Suction cups hold these mats in place in your bathtub. By turning on one of these mats, you'll receive a full-body massage as you bathe. They're great for letting your circulation flow after a stressful day. Massaging bath mats are a worthwhile addition to your bathroom. Not only do they help you relax, but they also keep you from slipping in the tub. Select a mat in a color that is close to the one of your bathtub to keep the decor of the room uniform. Decorative mirrors: Decorative mirrors are useful bathroom accessories. Replace your plain bathroom mirror with one that has accents or an interesting shape. This new mirror will enliven the room while maintaining its purpose as a mirror. You can also use it for practical purposes, such as hiding a storage unit. Look for multipurpose mirrors that open to reveal a medicine cabinet. Bath pillows: Bath pillows can help you relax in your bathtub after a difficult day. A bath pillow offers support to your neck to keep it from straining when you lie down. They are convenient because they're small and take up very little space. Automatic soap dispensers: Automatic soap dispensers are very useful for your bathroom. They ensure that users will have plenty of soap for cleaning and sanitizing their hands. Soap dispensers are perfect for bathrooms that have lots of visitors, such as the one near your living room or in an office. An automatic dispenser detects a hand and dispenses a regulated amount of soap. View All Bath Accessories Back to Guides Directory View All Bath Accessories
Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock.com and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.

Best Vitamins to Take Daily
It's difficult to eat well enough in our fast-paced world to get the full daily recommended amount of nutritional support from food. Taking vitamins is a simple way to ensure that you are maintaining your health properly. Supplying your body with the right amount of vitamins will help boost your immune system, reduce the amount of harmful free radicals in your body, increase your energy levels and help you feel your best. You can get the nutrition vitamins that you need by adding a multivitamin to your routine. When shopping for a multivitamin, look for these vitamins. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the best nutrition vitamins to take daily. Vitamin C is responsible for assisting the body in absorbing iron to the blood. It is also essential for the development and growth of healthy cells, and it can do wonders for your immune system. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, so it needs to be replenished regularly. The recommended dose of vitamin C each day is 90 milligrams for men and 75 milligrams for women. B vitamins. When comparing multivitamins, check for a comprehensive set of B vitamins. These water-soluble vitamins are essential for blood health, a strong immune system, a robust metabolism, healthy skin, proper cell development and nervous system function. If you do not receive enough of the B-complex vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, you can develop anemia and have an increased risk for nerve damage. B vitamins also go by a variety of other names, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folic acid and cobalamin. Each B vitamin has a different daily requirement, so check multivitamin labels carefully. Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for the healthy development and maintenance of bone and skin. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which prevents bone density loss and fractures. Vitamin D can be absorbed from sunlight with approximately 15 minutes of sun exposure each day. If 15 minutes of sun exposure doesn't fit into your daily routine, consider purchasing a multivitamin with vitamin D. The daily recommended intake of vitamin D is 200 to 400 IU for both men and women. Avoid taking more than 400 IU per day, as vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and has the potential for overdose. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for healthy eyes, a robust immune system, reproductive health, and good skin and bones. Vitamin A is also an antioxidant, which means it helps promote healthy cell function and growth, so it affects the entire body. Adults should get approximately 3500 IU per day, with at least 20 percent from beta-carotene. Vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant. Its main role is to guard cell membranes from free radicals and oxidation, which can damage organs and tissue. Vitamin E is also currently being studied extensively to determine its role in preventing different types of cancer and other serious health problems. Adults should get approximately 35 IU of vitamin E per day.

What is Reiki?
"Reiki" (ray-key) is Japanese for 'universal life energy, and is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing, This tradition was founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication.
We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things. When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us, and we experience a sense of well being.
There are many variations of Reiki, but in essence Reiki treatments can help the body emotionally or spiritually. It is a tradition that is open to any belief system.
Reiki treatment is a process that anyone can enjoy in the normal course of their life. Reiki can be used alongside other conventional or complementary treatment and often helps to provide emotional support during recovery.
The practice is taught by Reiki masters / teachers who have trained in the tradition passed on in person from master to student.
The method of receiving Reiki is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The whole person is treated rather than specific areas. Sessions can take 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half, depending on the client's needs.
Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not predict any specific outcome from treatment. If people are concerned about their symptoms they should see a doctor.
What do Reiki treatments feel like?Each person experiences Reiki differently depending on their individual needs at the time.
Clients may or may not feel sensations during a Reiki treatment. Benefits reported by recipients include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well being on all levels. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored.
What do Reiki treatments do?Reiki is a safe and soothing treatment that can be:
~ Comforting when life is tough
The relaxing nature of Reiki can be very helpful to people especially at difficult times in our lives. We can all feel overwhelmed or disconnected, sometimes there is a real sense of isolation, both emotionally and spiritually. Reiki treatments can bring feelings of peace, centeredness and an ability to cope better with the challenges of life.
Reiki can be beneficial in circumstances that are short term, but can also support people dealing with long-standing conditions, helping to bring comfort, acceptance and a more positive outlook.
~ Supportive during pregnancy
Reiki can be wonderful for pregnant women. Treatments can be very relaxing and enjoyable for the mother.
~ Calming for children
Children usually love Reiki. The length of a session is often shorter than it would be for an adult.
~ Reassuring for animals
Animals also respond well to Reiki, they too seem to find it relaxing and soothing
~ Helpful at the end of life
In such cases Reiki can be a great comfort, helping to promote a sense of peace and acceptance for the dying and their families.
How much Reiki would I need?
A single session may be sufficient, but it is best to discuss this with your practitioner. For instance, if you have long standing emotional or spiritual issues, a series of sessions may be beneficial. In general if you find that helpful changes are taking place, it is a good idea to continue treatment.
Contra-indicationsThere are no known contra-indications for Reiki. It is a non-intrusive treatment that can be delivered in a variety of settings and requires no special equipment.
"As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself"

Health Care Registration Numbers Are Revealed
By Julie Rovner
Originally published on Thu November 14, 2013 5:53 am
The Obama administration says just about 100,000 people managed to choose health plans through the federal and state health exchanges during their first month of the program. Critics say that shows the law is failing. But most analysts say the first month's numbers wouldn't have meant very much, even if the federal website had been working properly.

Welcoming Executive Director, Christophe Rebboah

Wanting Children of Their Own...
October 9, 2014
Angela and her husband talked about adopting for years, but overseas adoption seemed all too overwhelming. One day, Angela picked up a brochure for Rebekah Children's Services' Family Linkage Program, which provides an array of services to support children and families through the foster parenting and adoption process.
After careful discussion, Angela and her husband contacted Rebekah Children's Services to begin taking the steps that would bring together their future family.
It wasn't long before they met their sons. Even though the brothers were only 4 and 7 years old, they had a lot of healing to do. But Rebekah's Children's Services was there to give their family "personalized services and attention", ranging from guidance and advocacy to therapeutic services that would help the boys overcome past trauma and transition into their new lives.
Within about a year and a half, the adoptions were finalized. Six years later, the boys are now in middle school and high school. Not only have the brothers been able to stay together, but they have become cherished members of a loving family.
"You have these children in your life," Angela says. "They would have been people that we would have never met that I get to interact with every day… and help guide them through life… and provide a moral compass for the people that they will one day be."
With the help of Rebekah Children's Services, Angela has found, "The end result is the children you always wanted."
Thanks to Angela and her husband, two young brothers share the life altering gift of dedicated, supportive parents who are helping them grow into responsible adults with bright futures. This is the kind of positive outcome that Rebekah Children's Services strives to achieve for all of the children we serve. But the need is as pressing as ever.
This year, Rebekah Children's Services is serving 61% more foster care children on average per month than last year, reaching the highest number of foster care children served in years. This represents a 61% greater need for assistance, guidance, and—most of all—loving homes.
If you are unable to open your home to a child in need, there are other ways that you can help. Items needed include financial donations for the recruitment, training, and preparation of foster and adoptive homes; gift cards for the purchase of new clothes; and hygiene items for children coming out of emergency situations. For babies and toddlers placed with us under emergency circumstances, we also need infant essentials, such as formula, bottles, baby food, diapers, wipes, clothing, car seats, and pack'n plays.
Please help fulfill the growing need in our community:
- $5,000 sponsors a foster family (recruitment, training, and home preparation)
- $3,000 underwrites the placement of an infant or toddler (includes essentials such as formula, clothing, and car seats)
- $1,000 supports two foster families through training
- $500 purchases new clothes and toys for a foster child
- $100 purchases hygiene items and school supplies for a teen placed in foster care
You can support a foster child today by donating online and designating "Family Linkage."

A New Do
July 30, 2014
We are excited to announce that a our website, www.rcskids.org, is about to get a makeover. The current design was built in 24 hours by Zurb during ZurbWired 2011 and we still love it!
So why change it?
Unfortunately, the site is starting to show its age. It was originally built on a pre-release version of Foundation 2 and now there are visual flaws appearing on many modern browsers, especially on mobile devices. Additionally, with the abbreviated time frame, many pages could not be incorporated into the Content Management System allowing for non-coders to update content.
It is now time for the site to clean up a bit. We are growing and serving more children and families on any given day than ever before. Plus, with Meaningful Use and Health Care Reform we need to get ready to provide more web-based solutions to our clients over the next few years, such as a secure portal to access their personal health information.
The More Things Change...
As stated before, we love the current design. This means that this makeover is intended to retain the spirit of the original design just clean it up a bit. It is our hope that once the update is done it will look familiar, yet cleaner, faster to load and more up-to-date.
Here are some of the key milestones for the project:
- Move all content into the Content Management System (done)
- Create the new template using the latest release of Foundation (done)
- Test, test, test
- Launch
Once we got started, we discovered some additional ways to improve the site, such as a new Donation interface and a new Calendar.
Coming Soon
Our target date to launch the new design is on August 19, 2014, the three-year anniversary of the ZurbWired launch. We hope you like it!

Relocating Our Salinas Site
August 12, 2014
The time has come for us to relocate our office in Salinas, CA. We are now serving more children and families than ever before out of this site in collaboration with Monterey County DSES and Behavioral Health departments. This new site will allow us a little more space to host meetings with families as well as house the staff who will be supporting them.
We will be begin relocating this Friday, August 15th at 8 AM.
During the move, we expect that there will be interruptions to our phone and fax lines, however we expect those to be back up by the end of the day (estimated 6 PM). If you need to reach someone from the Salinas site you can:
- Contact them on their mobile phone (if known)
- Call any of our other numbers and either dial the extension (if known) or speak to the operator.
- 408.846.2100 (Gilroy Area)
- 408.871.4900 (Campbell Area)
- Email (most Salinas staff will continue to have access to email during the move)
After the move our phone numbers and fax number will remain the same, however you will be able to find us at 1260 South Main St, Suite 101, Salinas, CA 93901. This address is located behind Elli's Restaurant.
Thank you for your patience as we complete this upcoming move. It is our hope to minimize, if not avoid, any disruption in services for the children and families in Monterey County.

Letter From The Board
August 21, 2013
It surprises me, when I visit a Lodge, to hear our members still think Rebekah Children's Services, (RCS) does not need the help of our lodges because it is now funded by the government. I understand how this perception may have started, but let's set the record straight. After nearly 60 years of running our Gilroy facility, as a non-profit group home for at-risk youth, and no longer the orphanage we started in the late 1800's, we need your help more than ever.
The history of our Children's home, not only in California but across all jurisdictions, is noble. Our Membership took care of orphans in a time when money was tight and locating family was a challenge. The Rebekah Children's Home in California was opened in 1897. The land and materials were donated by Caroline Hoxett, a Past Rebekah Assembly President who lived in Gilroy. We quickly grew in size and in the care provided to our youth. By 1925 we housed over 100 orphans, all sponsored by members of the order. In the late 1950's, the Federal Government de-institutionalized the system of orphanages. They mandated a governed support system that allowed orphaned children a way to stay connected with family. When family was not available, a foster family maintained the continuity of a family environment.
During this time of transition, between our courts and our Odd Fellow community, many orphanages closed their doors. Here in California we opened our doors to the opportunity of supporting at-risk youth who need special care and counseling. In 1957, Rebekah Children Services took in its first court appointed youth to our residence program. Today, The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of California can proudly say that we still own, govern and maintain our Children's Home.
RCS provides services that range from County "Wrap-Around" programs, where families receive needed services in their homes, to our new "Hospital Diversion" program that takes at-risk youth from the hospitals and bring them to a secure, controlled environment with full counseling opportunities. We have "Links to Life" (TAY), which incorporates several programs for older youth ready to move into the workforce including a "Culinary Academy". We also have a non-public school, parenting education, fostering, and adoption services available.
These services are partially funded by health insurance or government grants. This program funding is very specific to what can be covered and government cuts have affected every level of care from the federal to the school district. Our facilities and overhead are not covered by government funding. To maintain the high quality of our staff and facilities, it takes the support of everyone in the world. When called upon in your lodges, we ask you to make a contribution to support the needs of this wonderful facility so that we can continue to support our youth.
RCS VISION STATEMENT: "To be the national leader in creating, shaping, teaching and providing services that achieve positive, permanent outcomes for children and families." Today, we are a National Leader in our industry, one that is looked upon by our peers for guidance and support. We do not take this role lightly and appreciate what our lodges around the world may do to help. It is most important; we get the word out about what RCS does. We must change the perception; we are not self supported by government funds.
If you have any questions on our services or to make a donation, please visit www.rcskids.org.
Thank you for your past and continued support of our home. If you wish to have your donation designated to a specific fund, here is a list of funds that have been set up by our Board to assist where there is the greatest need; "Major Medical", our kids at the home do not always have enough insurance to cover the needed medication. "Holiday", along with our annual Christmas party for our residents, this fund also covers birthdays and other parties given at the home for our kids. "Good Times", we send residents to prom, leadership conferences, job fairs and much more. "Facilities", our building and grounds need constant upkeep. "Links to Life", is a group of programs set up to link our transitioned youth (TAY) into the real world including developed culinary skills. "Scholarships", we offer several scholarships.
Our Board is very excited about the work that we do in California and are pleased to have the opportunity to share our excitement with all of you.
Nancy Johnson, President, RCS Board of Directors

How God Makes Babies (Pure Foundations) : Author Jim Burns believes the key to instilling in children a healthy, values-centered view of sexuality is to start the discussion early -being open and honest at every stage. How God Makes Babies is an age-appropriate introduction to basic sexuality, helping children ages 6 to 9 understand that God created males and females differently and with a purpose, emphasizing that God is a part of each family from conception to death.

Weeks said he helped Bulger even after Bulger fled Boston in 1994 when he learned he was about to be indicted.
That changed, Weeks said, when he learned that Bulger and Flemmi had been FBI informants for years. He said that went against the South Boston culture to never rat on your friends or your enemies.
Carney asked Weeks if he was concerned that he'd be seen as a rat after he made his deal with prosecutors to testify against Bulger and Flemmi.
"You can't rat on a rat," Weeks said.
Weeks described three killings he said he saw Bulger commit and several others he said Bulger admitted he had somehow engineered.
He said he was at a South Boston house with Bulger in 1985 when he heard that 26-year-old Deborah Hussey, the daughter of Flemmi's longtime girlfriend, would be coming over.
While Weeks was upstairs, he heard a thud coming from below him.
"Jim Bulger had her on the ground, choking her," he said.
Flemmi carried her to the basement but thought she was still alive. Flemmi wrapped a rope around her neck, put a stick in it and strangled her, Weeks said.
He said Flemmi then removed her teeth and they buried her under the dirt floor.
Hussey was one of three people who were buried in the same house after Bulger killed them, Weeks said. He said he helped moved the bodies later when the house was being sold. In 2000, after he began cooperating with the government, he led authorities to the new location in the Dorchester section of Boston.
Weeks said John McIntyre was killed after Bulger heard he may have spoken with authorities about a failed bid to send guns to the Irish Republican Army. He said McIntyre was chained to a chair and interrogated by Bulger, who held a machine gun.
After McIntyre admitted he was cooperating with law enforcement, Bugler wrapped a rope around his neck and tried to strangle McIntyre, Weeks said. The rope was too thick and the pressure caused McIntyre to vomit, he said.
"Jim says to him, 'Do you want one in the head?' and he said, 'Yes, please,'" Weeks said.
Bulger then shot him in the head, Weeks said. When that didn't kill him, Bulger shot him several more times, Weeks said.
During cross-examination, Bulger's lawyer focused largely not on the crimes Bulger is charged with, but instead on trying to get Weeks to acknowledge that Bulger loathed anyone who was a rat.
Carney asked Weeks if, during the two decades he spent working with Bulger, he made it clear that "what he hated above all else was informants."
"We killed people for being informants," Weeks said.

Attractional Christianity
In God's Word we see a stark contrast between Jesus and the religious people of the day. Jesus' character was a draw for sinful people, and He enjoyed spending time with them. He lived life to serve others. How about you? Learn the characteristics by which Christ lived, and begin to walk in a manner that is attractive to others who are outside of relationship with Him.

President's Message
Dear fellow OLs
Following Nick Marchant's extremely hard work of the past 8 years as President of the Old Lawrentian Society, I hope, with your support we can continue the good work.
I am delighted to say that the Society is going from strength to strength and its number continues to grow year after year, as does our database of active members, holding (importantly) current contact information, the number of planned events, and the amount of attendees at each event.We hope to generate even more interest by arranging more reunions,; regionally, nationally and internationally, and Years, Houses, Industries and Interests will all be used as criteria for the reunions. Do look out for an event (or 2 for you)!
Many of the dates on the college's social calendar are also open to OLs and Friends, and we will be sure to keep you updated with those dates.The committee are passionate about keeping OLs connected and we have branched out into Facebook (search Old Lawrentians) and 'Linked In 'as well. Our 'Groups' in both social media camps are growing in number too. To join the Linked In please go to http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Old-Lawrentian-Society-3926923.
Now the 'building' side is being completed, adding content and keeping this website up to date is now a priority for us, and we hope soon to have a website that you will be able to browse and enjoy on a regular basis. This is your website, and to that end we do hope that as well as viewing, you might wish to participate now and again by keeping your profile details updated for our posting and emailing purposes, and perhaps adding information for your peers to see.
We are always extremely pleased to hear of your news , and to receive articles for either the web or annual magazine (distributed in February). Please contact the Alumni Secretary at email@example.com or call her at the college on 01843 572932.
It simply remains for me to say welcome to the OL website, enjoy, and we hope that you keep in touch!
Best wishes

Grange '84
OL President.
Principal's message
Dear OLs
Since arriving it has been good to get to know a number of you, and I greatly value your ongoing attachment to your alma mater, and the valuable ways you contribute through events like the Careers Fair. I have also appreciated the wisdom and advice of many of you as we have considered how the School can continue to develop.
I would like to take this opportunity to feed back to you how the School is doing and what the next plans are.
St Lawrence is in very good heart. We are larger than we have been for ten years, and now stand at 360 pupils in the Senior School. Our plans are to grow this to between 400 and 420, to put it back to the peak of numbers last seen in 1991. This growth is based on success; to pick a few key areas; academically we did better at A Level than the local grammar schools this year, our sport continues to dominate our circuit, with our U13 XV and U13 cRICKET XI undefeated, and our hockey teams formidable ( 2 of our teams are now Kent Schools indoor Hockey Champions); our cultural activities are also quickly developing, with the fantastic new Taylor Hall providing a wonderful resource for the performing arts.
Our plans are to build upon this success, and the governors have approved in outline a number of potential developments. The first plan is to expand our boarding capacity, as we are now full in girls' boarding due to the success of the new Bellerby. The second is to build a new Science School, on the main school site. The third is to develop our sports facilities to bring a focal point of sport for the whole school. For this I would like to build a new water based hockey pitch, next to a new 1st XV pitch with a new sports pavilion overlooking both. We are at the stage of looking at architects' plans and beginning the local consultation for planning, but we would like to complete all these projects within the next three years, subject to finance and planning permission.
I'm sure you'll agree these are very exciting plans indeed, and I hope you will be able to visit the college and take part in many of the planned events in the near future. Should you wish, please take a look at the current college website www.slcuk.com to see the latest news and developments.
Finally, I do hope you enjoy viewing the Old Lawrentian website, and renewing ties of friendship that are such a hallmark of this school.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the next OL event.
Best wishes

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Vicolo dell'Oro, 6r, Florence, Italy
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Continentale hotel is a Lungarno hotel, which means it's a Salvatore Ferragamo hotel. Why the chain of code names? Why not just come out and say it, Ferragamo in blinking neon, or at least radiant gold (a la Versace)? Why not at least take advantage of the opportunity to better position the brand, like Cerruti or Bulgari?
Unlike those others, this is not a fashion concept hotel. And, to be fair, Ferragamo has been in the hotel game since 1955 — so this is clearly not an afterthought or a marketing scheme. Ferragamo, as Lungarno, is in this business with both feet (sorry), not just as some kind of co-branding experiment, but as a full-fledged business venture. Thus you will never see the Ferragamo name in your room, unless it is already attached to your footwear.
Then why spend two paragraphs outlining the association? Because this is a hotel that is determined to win you over on its own, without coasting on a reputation earned in the fashion world. And it's a bit counter-intuitive at first, but consider this: as so many full-time hoteliers place visual flash above hospitality substance, here is a fashion hotel that prizes service over design.
That said, the Continentale is not short on design. Architect/designer Michele Bonan went the (seemingly) safe route, with white predominating, but with unexpected accents of bubble-gum pink, intended to evoke the optimistic affluence of the Dolce Vita Fifties and Sixties. In fact you may catch La Dolce Vita playing on the monitor in the lobby.
The service is the story, though; the look is secondary. Many hotels as attractive as this one would make do with flashy appearances and try to get away with a sneering, indifferent staff. Not so at the Continentale. Privacy and courtesy are the order of the day — this is not a place to be seen, but a place to stay, to get away. And the staff are hired, whenever possible, from outside the hospitality industry, so that they may be trained to Lungarno's exacting standards, without any bad habits to forget.
Rooms are comfortable if not enormous (this is Florence, after all) and continue in the palette of choice, whimsical rather than minimal white. The Sky Lounge on the top floor overlooks the Arno River, the hills, and the city. There is no restaurant, just breakfast, but the neighboring Gallery Hotel Art (another Lungarno hotel — there are five in Florence, all told) makes its restaurant available via room service. And the White Iris Spa is a study in Florentine elegance. If the hotel's Ferragamo connection is discreet, there's no hiding who's behind the spa. That would be the renowned Daniela Steiner, who oversaw everything from the design to the beauty products to staff training.
It is an impressive hotel, one as stylish as any, and puts to shame the more tentative offerings of other fashion houses. In fact, staying at the Continentale, you may soon forget the Ferragamo connection altogether — and nothing would please the owners more.
Please note: Continentale will be closed February 7 – 21 for renovations.

What I liked:
The location is second to none and the atmosphere and style of the hotel is like being in Italia in the 50s. Simply stunning and extremely stylish.
What the hotel could do better:
Customers need to be careful that charges do not appear on their bill on checkout. We had mysterious breakfasts and lunches charged to our room that were never ordered or eaten at the hotel. An argument occurred when I attempted to get these removed from the bill. I was successful but not without some stress upon checkout. An Italian tradition it seems....:(

I am looking at brew pots for my first brew. I will likely be doing a partial boil to start off, but I figure I may want to experiment in the future. I am doing 5 gallon batches. I am considering 6, 8, and 10 gallon aluminum pots. The price between them is negligible. I am looking for advice from brewers with more experience on what my best option is. Thank you in advance for the advice.
go with the biggest pot that you can... I ended up buying a 52qt aluminum pot after using a 7.5 gallon pot that came with my turkey fryer... the turkey fryer pot didnt contain full boils as well but the 52 qt version is awesome and I can probably do a 10 gallon boil in it (if watch carefully and using fermcap)
Also with the aluminum, make sure you oxidize it first by filling it up all the way and boiling it for 20 minutes to create the protective oxidation layer and never use abrasives on it, just a soft sponge to clean. My .02
Also consider any mashing requirements. If you plan to do high gravity AG you might actually need a bigger pot than what you would need for a full boil.
it really depends on your stove do you have electric or gas is your gas stove really nice? i havnt been brewing long but my electric stove wont boil 5 gallons so i finally purchased a turkey fryer now 6 gallons isnt a problem
look for a guy named spike here.. it has been said he has some nice pots and good prices..
here he ishttp://spikebrewing.com/products/15-...tical-couplers
I usually brew with a 5G and a 2.5G. I mini-mash in the 5G and it will still fit in my oven to maintain temp. Then I dunk-sparge in the 2.5G. While the 5G is doing the 60min boil, I bring the 2.5G to a boil then stick it on ice and combine the two at the end so I have a head-start cooling down. I have a 10G but it takes forever to heat up and forever to cool down.
My very first brew was an extract kit with steeping grains and all I had at that time was the 2.5G pot, and that turned out to be one of my best beers!
I'm not saying that you should do what I do, but it works for me. I just want to point out that there are a lot of factors to consider and you need to figure out what will work for you.
I have this one. one of the best brewing investments I have made I normally do 5 gallon batches, But will occasionally do 10 gallon batches and it handles both easily. When purchasing durable and expensive equipment buy the last one you will ever need instead of upgrading every year or so as your needs advance. Something I learned the hard way. http://www.homebrewstuff.com/brewing...ermometer.html
Those Spike Brewing pots are nice and I hear great things about his CS.
If your looking to save a few $$ and still get a nice heavy pot look at this one below...using aluminum is fine you just have to oxidize it first by boiling water in it for an hour. Also you cant use StarSan in aluminumhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00
Also...what source of heat are you using? If your doing stove top brews 5 gallon batches may be tough. Its important to bring your wort up to a rigorous boil. Your stove top may have a tough time getting 6 to 6.5 gallons to boil. A heatstick could help with that.

I've looked through the forum and searched too, but didn't see my answer anywhere. I am new to shooting and want a gun for CC. I absolutely love the feel of the LC9. It feels like it was made for my hands. I like that it has a long trigger pull. I even love all the other safety measures built in. (I know... experienced shooters don't like some of these features, but I'm kinda glad they are there!) Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who has the gun to shoot it before buying it, and there are no rental ranges anywhere close. My question is this: As a new shooter and this being my first gun, how "bad" is the recoil? I've seen references made to it, but they range from not much recoil, to it being "snappy" and that it has "bite". Is the recoil rough enough I should avoid this gun for my first, or like most things is it something I should be able to easily adjust to?

What handguns have you shot? Tell us what shooting experience you have and maybe we can offer some comparison.
I have never shot the LC9 either, but shot lots of other stuff.
Enjoy the new adventure on which you have embarked.
I have no doubt you will be able to handle the LC9. Especially since it fits your hand so well. Get it, have your husband shoot it while you watch to see how the gun reacts. Then hold on to it and shoot it. As you get more experience you'll be able to handle it better. Buy that LC9 and enjoy it.
The LC9 is a fine CC gun, it is not my favorite to shoot, but I stake my life on it's operation regularly. I also carry an LCP and a S&W J-frame .357, depending on dress and weather.
The LC9 is not painful to shoot by any means, it has respectable recoil, but nothing compared to shooting .357 mag. rounds out of my J-frame. My wife shoots the LC9 comfortably with FMJ, range rounds, the JHP full-power SD rounds have a little more oomph! You will be shooting many more FMJ rounds than SD rounds (I hope!), you will be just fine and will enjoy your LC9.
Small frame 9mm pistols are a little snappy. This one has some weight to it so it's not bad for recoil. But this isn't the gun you take to the range to shoot targets all day long - it is built for concealment/defense purposes, and to pack the punch of a full 9mm Luger round. I like the long trigger pull as well - if I were using this for target or competition shooting I would not like it - but I leave the safety 'off' because that trigger pull is more than an adequate safety
My LC9 conceals quite well. I'd recommend it for carry
Thanks for the input! I've only shot a .22 pistol of my husband's before and it was huge in my hands so I wasn't comfortable with it. I've watched several videos of the LC9 being shot, by experienced shooters and those who are shooting it for the first time. It didn't look like it would have too much recoil, but you never know. I'll be shooting a lot here at home, but just to make sure I'm comfortable with it and to improve my accuracy. I'm sure as I get there I'll find another one I want to shoot for fun. Kinda like tattoos or potato chips....you can't have just one!
First off, Welcome to FTF! If you have not done so ( unless I Missed it) why don't you stop over at the introductions thread and introduce yourself?!
We also happen to have a Podcast here( co-Hosted by TekGreg, Vikingdad, and some other guy who has spent years Talking about Football Computers Guns and Music....
I've had my LC9 since Early April of 2012. I have never "Replaced" the trigger, but have had a few things done to it. I've been shooting a long time, but had to switch from bigger Calibers and don't shoot them as much because of Back and Shoulder injuries. Mine has about 1500 rounds through it. I have changed the front sight, added a side frame mounted laser, and have 8 Magazines for it(6-7 rounders, 4 with finger ext. And 2 9- rounders with an extended grip. I feel folks with Medium and smaller hand benefit from the extra space and weight vs. the recoil. The +P ammo kicks the most, but it's not intolerable unless you have bad arthritis or carpal Tunnel. Other guns in the LC9's class are the Kel-Tec PF9/P11, the a Diamondback DB9, The Kahr 9 MM's, the SCCU CPX-2, the Walther PPS is a bit bigger, and so is Rugers SR9C. Ruger also puts out the

(cont) the Same Gun in a 380, the LC380, with a reduced slide and recoil over the LC9. The LCP is Smaller still, but has a lot of recoil for its size. My LC9 runs a Few Types and Brands of ammo better then others. For Ball ammo, it likes the Remington UMC's and the PMC Bronze and Silver, and the Fiocchi. For HD we feed it Hornady Critical Defense/Critical Duty/ Custom , Federal High Shok, Federal Guard dog, and a few others, including Fiocchi's 115gr. & 124Gr. HP's. It does not like any ammo where the bullet is lighter then 90Gr. Except for the Magtech 90Gr. And the Fiocchi 92Gr. Smaller guns have heavier recoil springs, and thus some of them have issues with lighter ammo. I can carry mine several ways, pocket holster in a jacket, vest or pants pocket, in a "Man Bag", inside or outside the belt, or Shoulder rig,..,well that about does it for my LC9 Expose...I did a review on it in the article section last year maybe you can find a range that rents one. If you lived in Northern Arizona you could come and shoot mine...with your Husband and my wife of course ..,

Thanks for the specific ammo recommendations. If I were a few miles closer (states,too) I'd take you up on the offer....with your wife and my husband, of course!
LoniJo, I suggest you check out the SR9c also. I have one for about 2 years and I absolutely love it.

"Awesome but for 1 small detail"
Yes. For me, Marsters is Dresden. Even when I read the books, I now hear James in my head, his performance is fantastic.
Marsters is amazing as usual.
I loved the story, I loved the scale of it, but that is also the problem. First some buildings got destroyed, then the city was in danger, then the US was in trouble, there have been a few times the world itself was in danger... How far will it go? Who knows, but I'll sure enjoy the ride. I do miss the character stories, now that we know everyone Jim can spend less time on the people and more on plot but I really liked getting to know people.

Season of goodwill? Bah humbug
- From: Herald Sun
- December 17, 2011
THINK it's the season to be jolly? Think again.
A third of us won't get through Christmas Day without a family row and a quarter would love to cancel the festivities altogether.
Money and what to watch on TV were the topics most likely to ignite a Christmas argument, a poll has revealed.
But alcohol, in-laws, Scrooge-like behaviour, board games, present envy and Christmas dinner dietary requirements were also among the top 10 festive bugbears.
One in three said they would not make it through 12 hours without a domestic dispute, and 22 per cent said tempers would flare as early as Christmas morning.
A third of those surveyed said their predominant emotion leading up to the big day was stress.

Hello all, Just wanted to come back and give update that my partner did the Pre-Approval link about 2 weeks ago online and was pre-approved for Slate for 0% for 15 months at 16.9% which is tier 2 in rates Chase offers on this card.... He applied and was instantly approved and then a couple days later found out it was for $9k.
Fast forward and today he BT for the 0% for 15 months and $0 BT FEE for first 60 days of account opening, the one little intersting note I wanted to share is Chase will only allow you to BT to within $500 of Credit Line, so in his case $8500.00
The other thing is yesterday he received offer by mail for this exact card but the offer was for the Tier 1 APR 11.49%... not something that will effect him for the next 15 months so don't think he will bother calling, but kind of interesting to me.
Just looking at credit secure and Chase pulled TU and EX... ugh, really wish I knew that before, I would have for sure recon for higher limit!
They pulled TU/EX for me too. I don't think it's all that rare.

Actually just mad at myself because I kept debating on recon CL and everyone talked about additional HP from TU and so didn't want that, had I known already done... oh well...
Don't you have 30 days to recon limit?

Just called the Backdoor Recon number and asked if 2 HP done with approved app if they can do recon on CL for up to 30 days after approval without pulling new HP.
He stated if app denied, they can recon for 30 days without new report but for CLI (he even said it as a CLI) they only have 3 days before needing new HP.

President's First-term Gamble Will Determine Success of Second Term
One little noticed and quite remarkable aspect of Election 2012 is that Barack Obama won a majority of the popular vote for the second consecutive time. With the exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt's four-term run in the 1930s and '40s, it's the first time the Democrats have won a majority of the presidential vote in back-to-back elections since 1836.
This suggests that the president has a unique opportunity to reshape American politics in a major way. To accomplish that, however, his second term will have to be deemed a success in the court of public opinion. Mandates and lasting change are won by governing, not by campaigning.
But the perceived success or failure of the president's second term is likely to be determined by choices he made long ago.
In a political sense, his situation is similar to that of his predecessor, George W. Bush. During his first term, Bush bet his legacy and the future of his political party on the war in Iraq. His second term was living with the consequences of that decision. If that war had been brought to a quicker and more successful conclusion, the history of the last six years would be much different, and Republicans would be in much better shape.
Early in his first term, Obama bet his legacy and the future of his party on his national health care plan. Despite public opposition, the president chose to have Congress pass the law on a straight party-line vote. What matters now, though, is not how the law was passed but how it will be perceived in the future.
At this point, no one knows what the outcome will be. Most voters (57 percent) have yet to feel any impact from the law because many of the provisions don't go into effect until 2014. Looking ahead, there are still legal challenges to the law, and there are likely to be ongoing political challenges, as well. From a purely logistical perspective, there is an enormous amount of work to be done to meet the implementation timetable. Complicating the picture, fewer than half the states have agreed to set up the health care exchanges envisioned under the law.
Whatever the outcome, the perceived success or failure of the health care law is likely to have a bigger impact on the future of American governance than Bush's gamble in Iraq. That's because the health care law and the entire concept of shifting authority to the federal government represent core beliefs of the Democratic Party. Their ideology is on the line.
Fifty-nine percent of Democrats have a favorable opinion of the federal government. That stands in stark contrast to America's historic skepticism about powerful central governments. It also stands in stark contrast to the views of other voters. Republicans overwhelmingly have an unfavorable view of the federal government, and the numbers aren't much stronger among unaffiliated voters.
If the health care law is successfully implemented and working well in 2016, the president may have convinced a majority of Americans that the federal government is the solution and not the problem. If the health care law is perceived as a failure, most Americans are likely to conclude that Bill Clinton had it right when he declared that "the era of big government is over."

LOOKING for: Celiac disease or gluten free recipes
hucsheDecember 2, 2001
Has anyone got a bread recipe for celiacs using guar powder, tapioca flour & corn flour please? My husband doesn't like the rice flour mixed with potato flour-too heavy & the distributor in the Montreal, Quebec area can't get a certain type of mix (imported) anymore because the machines used to make or mix the flours have traces of gluten.He isn't interested in trying other flours right now-like chickpea-just tapioca & corn. There is water & sugar involved. We used to add milk or powdered & an egg for variety but have a lot of experimenting to do to try cakes & cookies with these flours. Will contact the Quebec & Cndn associations for such recipes as well. I got some on this site last year. Thanks.
