Our story begins with an invitation. Bishop Conners from the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana in the Dominican Republic invited Bishop emeritus John McGann to sponsor two parishes in the Dominican Republic: Saint Peter the Apostle in El Cercado and Our Lady of Fatima in Hondo Valle. These parishes, now the official foreign mission to the Diocese of Rockville Centre, have continued to flourish under the faithful support of Bishop William Murphy for over 32 years. Rockville Centre's ministry has been going strong for many years. Its ministry to the less fortunate not only involves providing help to those in need but also receiving their assistance; therefore creating a ministry for the poor aided by the poor.
Among the leaders in this ministry is Sister Jane Reilly, CSJ who has been serving this ministry for the past 30 years; Sister Reilly later returned home from this ministry last year. Sister Beatrice "Babs" Barry, CSJ has been ministering to the people of the Dominican Republic for the past 31 years and continues to do so today.
In 1986 Sister Barry was able to open an inn for those who are sick and unwell. This inn was opened as "The Inn of the Good Samaritan" located in the capital city, Santo Domingo. Here those who are in need are provided with a warm, care giving place to stay in the city as they seek out medical help. This inn provides easier access to medical treatments as patients are recovering from surgery and being able to consult the best health care professionals the Dominican Republic can offer.
Lastly Monsignor John I. Cervini has been ministering to the people of the Dominican Republic for over 14 years and continues to love what he does: help those with extreme needs.
St. Peter the Apostle, El Cercado
Founded on 1877 in El Cercado, Dominican Republic; it is a small municipality located on the mountains. It is home to about 30,000 people. El Cercado translates from the Spanish to a town that is "fenced in". The mountains that surround it provide the protection the town needs from hurricanes and tropical storms.
The Parish of St. Peter the Apostle oversees and is responsible for 85 villages which are embedded on the hills near El Cercado.Our parishioners struggle everyday to get basic necessities. Here people still have to carry water on their heads, bathe and wash their clothes in the river. They have adapted to pests and other animals by stringing food in high places to keep them out of reach from animals. Their kitchen consists of three rocks located behind their homes. It is a daily struggle to survive since they depend on agricultural harvests which depend on consistent rainfall. In turn the crops that are grown are affected by the soil in which they are planted. In a study conducted by the United Nations on top soil used for faming, the soil received the lowest grades because of the many erosion problems. Although a great deal of property exists, it coexists with an overabundance of joy and contentment which gives people faith and strength to carry on.
A social ministry has been able to solve many problems in El Cercado. The committee consists of 45 representatives from 84 Christian based communities which operate in the rural and urban villages of El Cercado. It meets monthly in order to plan health, education, agriculture and economic development projects.
This ministry has been able to successfully implement the following:
• Construction of 16 community water systems and 1,865 outdoor latrines• Medical clinics providing patients the ability to obtain eye exams, ultra sounds, dentistry and surgery. • Monthly food delivery to 120 elderly and disabled people• Senior day care center• Creation of a town pharmacy and 18 rural outlets for low cost medicine• Human rights workers with 35 volunteers• Construction of 11 rural schools, one K-12 (Fe y Alegria) school, and 5 after school programs• Literacy programs with 83 separate groups • Road repair projects• Health Care program with 65 volunteer health promoters
Human Rights Workers Committee
The Social ministry has been able to organize:
Fe y Alegria (Faith and Happiness) Catholic School- A Jesuit Catholic School
Set on ten acres of land, this Jesuit school has been an ongoing dream. The school currently offers eight grades plus kindergarten and pre-k.
El Cercado's education is very poor, public facilities are in a very bad condition. Because of this students often do not have class. For these children to learn they must keep up with the Jesuit School calendar. This form of discipline is an integral part of this ongoing dream.
The school currently is staffed with a principal, a social worker, and eight teachers. There are three employees who maintain the facility. In time the public school district will pay the teachers and employees, they currently are not. The parish provides and is responsible for incentives given to the staff until they officially become part of the school district.
The Parish is also responsible for the up keeping and maintaining of the school. The Jesuit education office of "Fe y Alegria" supervises and trains all staff including the director.
Donations are desperately needed for this dream to come to fruition.
U.S. Peace Corp Involvement
Driven by gravity, the aqueducts constructed with the help of the U.S. Peace Corps is a way in which the quality of life is greatly improved for the people of the Dominican Republic. When a spring is found, the men of the community with the help of Peace Corps volunteers dig ditches for the tubing used to carry the water to the villages and homes. This spring is capped and the water is redirected to a holding tank to collect the water. Depending on the amount of water obtained from the spring each home may be able to obtain a faucet. If there is not enough a village will obtain communal water faucet allowing the habitants access to water much closer than before.
Each member of the community works. It is their contribution. The church is able to provide the funding for projects like these through donations obtained from US parishioners and churches. The US Peace corp. is able to provide the supervision needed for these projects to be accomplished. Volunteers are able to experience firsthand how community life changes because of the construction of aqueducts.
Water systems are in need of repair and in need to be built. Some of the water systems range up to 5 miles in length or more. Aqueducts range from 5,000 USD to 30,000 USD and are able to provide water for 25 families to 400 homes respectively. Donations are always needed.
Health projects
The Good Samaritan Inn
Founded and run by Sr. Babs Barry, CSJ, the inn provides much help to those who are sick and vulnerable. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared and served each day by loving and caring staff. At capacity, the inn is able to serve 22 people. The staff is able to arrange doctor appointments and provides transportation.
University of Maryland and Mississippi Dental Schools
On every 4th of July, volunteers from these dental schools hold a clinic at the parish for one week. The dental project has been helping the people of the Dominican Republic for 30 years. The parish volunteers arrange the hall, collect tickets which cost about 30 cents, hold flashlights for the dentists and wash all the instruments.
Eye clinics conducted in the parish hall as well, provide people new eyeglasses.
Dr. Gena instructs a course which covers possible illnesses and their treatments. This prepares 85 health promoters to deal with a health crisis on the mountains.
Pastoral Center
Michigan Tech has developed plans for a building to be constructed next to our rectory; it will contain a reception room an office, a kitchen, meeting rooms, a new home for a parish pharmacy and a garage for a dump truck. On the Second floor the plans include the construction of an apartment with three bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room which will be able to be converted into a large meeting room. The complex will have an estimated cost of $80,000 USD.
St. Vincent de Paul SocietyEach month, the society of St. Vincent de Paul, distributes 110 food baskets to the mountains. Clothing, medicine and transportation to the hospital for medical appointments are supervised by a 15 person committee.If there are sufficient funds, one house is able to be built a month. 100 homes have been able to be constructed over the past 13 years. Donations are always welcomed.
For twenty-two years, Sister Beatrice "Babs" Barry CSJ of THE INN of the GOOD SAMARITAN and staff have welcomed patients referred from the mountain villages of the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana. It functions as a hospital house of hospitality for the sick, guiding them through the maze of the Capital city, Santo Domingo, as they seek solutions for their medical problems. It provides three meals a day, housing, counseling, transportation to hospitals, security and diagnostic studies such as analysis, X-rays, CT scans, MRI's, sonograms, mammograms and echocardiograms.
Also referring patients to THE INN, particularly those with cancer, is Father Rick Frechette CP, Physician and founder of the orphanage "Our Little Brothers and Sisters" and Saint Damien's Hospital for children in Haiti. Lacking radiation therapy and chemo therapy medications in Port au Prince, these patients have found at THE INN a home away from home where they can be treated.
After Haiti's devastating earthquake a communication and transportation system was quickly organized uniting relief efforts. The DR orphanage (a sister to the one in Haiti) sent a bus and trucks filled with requested supplies and medicines every other day to travel over land to St. Damien's. They stopped at THE INN to pick up contributions before continuing to the border and their destination. On their return they carried patients who received hospitality and services at THE INN or went on to specialized hospitals.
Thanks to you, our donors, it was possible to turn St. Damien's wish lists into realities. They were supplied with IV solutions, catheters, injection needles, sterile gowns for surgeons, anesthesia, analgesics, antibiotics, sedatives, suture materials and plaster for casts, pressed cotton, and crutches. Tents, liquid baby formula and a highly fortified peanut butter product, "Plumpy Nut" were just some of the things that were sent in your name.

Uh oh ... Greentree Road closing next 4 weekends
This doesn't figure to be pretty: PennDOT is starting a new round of construction on Greentree Road between the bridge over Chartiers Creek and the railroad tracks (near the Route 50 intersection) in Scott. Overnight lane closures will start at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, then a full closure of Greentree Road and Old Washington Pike will occur at 8 p.m. Friday, with reopening by 6 a.m. Monday. The closures will be repeated on the following three weekends, with the last one scheduled for Nov. 9-12. Detours will be posted.
I don't think I'm alone in this: Could we please turn off those incessant recorded announcements about folding strollers, exact change, etc. etc. at Light Rail Transit stations? Not long ago the Port Authority upped the annoyance factor by adding a loud ping before each announcement. Most riders at peak hours are regulars and probably recite the messages in their sleep. Turn off the messages, put up a few signs and use the public address system to give riders useful information when service is delayed.
Remember that another closure of the inbound Squirrel Hill Tunnel is scheduled this weekend, 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
Alternating one-way traffic will occur on the Hulton Bridge from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday during inspection.

The Orchidaceae are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with colorful and fragrant blooms, commonly known as the orchid family. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants, with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species, found in 880 genera.

Recess: No Longer Just for Kids
Posted by Will Shafroth, Councilor to Secretary Salazar for America's Great Outdoors on September 22, 2011
First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative focuses on fighting childhood obesity and she encourages people of all ages to incorporate a little more physical activity into their daily routine, reminding us that recess is just as important for adults, since you are a role model for your child. Studies show that recess is crucial to healthy childhood development and that there is no reason to stop taking physically active breaks just because we can no longer hang from a jungle gym or play tag with classmates.

Affordable Care Act Update
It's been a little over a month since President Obama's key piece of legislation: the Affordable Care Act went LIVE on the web. Well, it went live but didn't really work at first. And now, it kind of works. Since healthcare.gov launched, there have been plenty of discussions and discoveries about just how affordable insurance will be, who qualifies, those who fall into the coverage hole, and much more. We are going to look back on the past month with professionals and experts who have been working directly with the public. And we will get more clarity about the relationship between Carolinas Healthcare System and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. Join us for an update on the Affordable Care Act in North Carolina.

Tiny Dynamite (tour)
Editorial Staff • West End • 20 Sep 2001
The storyline is bizarre yet not fantastical. Two boys - Lucien (Scott Graham) and Anthony (Steven Hoggett), friends since childhood - have now grown to adulthood. One friend successful and obsessive, the other derelict and depraved, their need for each other remains intense. An ancient accident, in which six-year-old Anthony's chest was seared by lightning, is still relived daily, as are the circumstances that led to the death of a girl they both loved. Could either of them have saved her?
On holiday, they meet Madeleine (Jasmine Hyde) who reminds them of their childhood sweetheart. The friends' guilt revisits them to such an extent that it appears impossible for either to dare an attempt at recapturing their lost love, even as their communal friendship with Madeleine flourishes.
Madeleine enters easily into their world of shared memories and joins in their relish for telling stories involving elaborate accidents - death by flying sandwiches and killer bees, ricocheting pearl necklaces and trapped dental apparatus - cause and effect, risks, chance occurrences.
The humour in Morgan's writing is real and uncontrived, and the performances of this trio of young actors capitalise on it with relaxed but polished style. Not forgetting the physicality of this production - directed by Vicky Featherstone with assistance from Graham and Hogget - I must give a special mention also to the recumbent beach ballet. Subtly choreographed, the realisation of a dance unfolding creeps up on you until you're thoroughly captivated by the synchronised, yet individual, movements of the three sunbathers. It's a joy to behold.
Julian Crouch's set design is deceptively simple with clever use of on-stage lighting and video projection, and even a jetty with enough water under it to dive into for a swim.
This is stimulating theatre of the first order. Let us hope for more imaginative collaborations to match it.

King of Prussia, PA (PRWEB) September 30, 2013
The fastest growing health and fitness franchise PRO Martial Arts launches anti bullying campaign across more than 40 locations. The declaration coincides with October which is National Bullying Prevention Month. The campaign is inspired by the nation's month long commitment to anti-bullying and the renowned ARMOR® Bullying and Predator Prevention Program taught in every PRO Martial Arts dojo.
Kicking-off the campaign students from each dojo proudly display the sign "My ARMOR® Is" along with a sign that displays what that armor is. Their armor is what helps keep them strong when facing bullies. The photos will be posted simultaneously October 1, 2013 on every dojo's Twitter and Facebook in support of National Bullying Prevention Month and changing the conversation about bullying across the country.
The ARMOR® Bullying and Predator Prevention program teaches students practical skills to recognize bullies and predators, confidence, mutual respect, and assertiveness when seeking help. The PRO Martial Arts ARMOR® is developed by renowned martial artist Grandmaster Ed Samane, who holds an eighth –degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and Sin Moo Hapkido, and a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. During the development of the ARMOR® program, Samane consulted with national experts in psychology, law enforcement, medicine, education and martial arts.
Throughout the month of October PRO Martial Arts locations will also host a variety of community events including speaker presentations with influential community members that have been bullied, as well as chats with local dignitaries and guidance counselors. These events are designed to inform the community and emphasize the armor children, families and communities have against bullies

Home to the world's oldest continuous civilization and the largest population, China has been a communist country since the end of World War II. But since the late 1970s, the country has experienced profound change. Its developing market economy stands as the fastest-growing in the world, and hundreds of millions of its citizens have gained a higher standard of living. This rapid growth has resulted in an emerging middle class whose spending power has redefined the Chinese market. After 30 years of economic reforms, what were once Luxuries are now seen as rights by the younger Chinese, some of whom are calling for increased freedoms from the communist government. In this new edition of China, learn how the economic changes have started to inspire change in other areas of Chinese life and read about recent events, such as the Beijing Olympics, the May 2008 earthquake that killed an estimated 80,000 citizens, and the first spacewalk by a Chinese astronaut.

Really nice hotel in a great area of St. LuciaPosted Jan 19, 2015
Location: We did the Joy Cruise which was fantastic!
Lovely accommodations, small and intimate hotel, beach was great.
for Familiesby A verified traveler from Hampshire, England
The perfect family holiday!Posted Jan 5, 2015
Pros: The staff made the place. From the restaurants and bars to the child care and the beach, always a smile!
Cons: Entertainment, modernising the rooms and bathrooms.
Location: Quite far from everything, but we used Joy's speedboats to get to other beaches for snorkelling, mud baths and waterfalls.
Amazing people, amazing weather amazing island, very caring staff, excellent child care, excellent sport facilities.
for Familiesby A verified traveler from Long Island, New York
Good hotel with the beachPosted Dec 29, 2014
Cons: Food
The hotel is clean, comfortable, staff is very friendly and accomodating. The food is OK in the buffet, but pretty good in a-la-cart restaurants (dinner only, reservation is needed). Very good location for water sports as the sea is very calm in spite of the wind.

Not a luxury hotel, but clean and a friendly staffPosted Dec 28, 2014
The resort needs a little touch up, but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Don't go for the food.

Exploring CaribbeanPosted Dec 25, 2014
Pros: Greenery of the territory.
Cons: Food is the main drawback. I found literally nothing spectacular in the restaurants.
Location: The hotel is on the Caribbean coast, so you will enjoy the warm and green sea. Beware of jellies - saw one in December, but only one.
It's my second trip over the islands. Last year went to Antigua. I'm pleasantly surprised each time at the friendliness of staff, amazing atmosphere, wonderful weather and sea. Take a note that St.Lucia is quite a large island compared to others. It takes 1h20mins to get from the airport to the hotel and the road is all hilly. But it's worth it. St.Lucia is amazingly lush and green, would recommend Souffrier adventure tour (you will find in the hotel for $100). Hotel itself is pleasant - true simple Caribbean style. Beach is a gem with palms on it so that you will always find shade without the need to haunt for an umbrella. Water sports included (except for jet-ski), so enjoy water-ski, kayaking, surfing lessons. Overall do a lot of sport :)
for Everyoneby A verified traveler from So Calif.
Amazing viewsPosted Dec 17, 2014
Pros: Everything was excellent from staff, to service, to beach location
Location: Enjoy the Joy's Cruise it was fun!, and go down to Rodney Bay for a excellent view and fun relaxing larger beach scene
We had a great time, relaxing and fun! Everyone was so friendly, both staff and guest. The swim-up pool bar was perfect!

Nice Food and Charming BeachPosted Dec 1, 2014
Had a great time in St. Lucia. Beach was clean and calm. Food was terrific in the Buffet and each of the restaurants. Kids loved the flaming bananas. Loads of staff there to help.

Great.everything included.rooms could be a bit cleaner as far as bathrooms but was do-able.the restaurant only offer pork for breakfast need to consider beef or at least turkey.overall I would recommend

Not worth the money, wouldn't come backPosted Nov 28, 2014
Pros: The only thing I liked about the resort was the coffee cafe. The ladies who were there made some delicious hot and cold coffee drinks.
Cons: Cleanliness, the tiles on the floor in the bathroom were disgustingly dirty.
Location: The best thing to do was to sign up for one of Joy's Adventures. We did the Land & Sea tour and it was so much fun.
If you are going to spend the money to travel to St. Lucia don't bother staying here. Pay the extra money and stay at Sandals becuase you know you are going to have great service, excellent food and cleanliness. We had an 8 day, 7 night stay at this resort and didn't have got water for 6 out of the 8 days! We would call the font desk and they told us maintenece would fix it but nothing changed. The meal times were not accomodating. Breakfast stopped at 10 and lunch didn't open until 12 and ended at 2. If you went on an excursion and came back in between meals there was no place to just grab quick snacks. The Plum Tree was open but the service is so slow and the menu options were limited. Dinner didn't start until 6 and you had to have reservations for every place expcet for the buffet. You could only make reservations from 7-3PM. If you forgot to make a reservation they woudln't let you come in to eat at all! The pictures of the water at the resort is misleading. Even though you are in the caribbean the water is not that pretty clear blue. It was murky and dirty looking, reminded me of the ocean on the east coast back home. The website mentions preimum alcohol and this is not the case. I didn't recognize any of the liqour brands when asking for specific drinks. The lounge chairs on the beach were covered in mold and mildew. I had to ask for 2 towels everyday so that I didn't have to lay in it.

Group holiday for a friends weddingPosted Nov 28, 2014
It was the perfect holiday for us. There was a little mix up with some of the rooms but they were all cleared up within hours. The all inclusive suited us perfectly as there was no fussing with bills. Included as well were all all the water sports and that made the week a lovely mix of relaxed and active. Staff were great, food good considering all inclusive and not shy on the drinks. As a group trip this was exactly what we were looking for. The only slight negative was the location. It seemed like the resort was 1.5hrs from any other attraction.

In this course, professional photo restorer Janine Smith describes how to use Photoshop to restore, retouch, and enhance old or damaged photos. It covers evaluating scanned images for imperfections, using the Clone Stamp tool and other Photoshop tools, and addressing common problems and their fixes, starting with the basics (fading, spots, and paper texture) and continuing with more complex challenges (rips, adhesive tape, ink marks, mold, and more). Also included are methods for fixing exposure problems and colorcast as well as advanced techniques in photo restoration, such as replacing backgrounds and recreating missing facial features and body parts. The course includes a project that takes an image from damaged start to restored finish.
Sometimes pieces of a photo fall off and get lost. Usually when the photo is old and brittle, or is bent or has creases, it can lead to areas, mostly the corners, tearing off. If you're really lucky, it happens in a corner that holds nothing but the faded- out sky, so it's a snap to fix. If the area has anything at all in it, like trees for instance, it could be a little more difficult to fix, but still entirely doable. First thing you want to do is duplicate the background layer, Ctrl+J on a PC Command+J on a Mac.
The first thing we are going to use is the Clone Stamp tool. With the Clone Stamp, you can either add a blank new layer by going to Create a new layer icon at the bottom and clicking on it, or you can work on the layer itself. In this case we'll work on the layer itself, but if you do work on a new blank layer, be sure when you select your Clone Stamp tool that you go up here to this dropdown box and select Current & Below, because if you don't it won't pick up the bottom layers.
We'll work on the duplicate layer, so we'll reselect that. With your Clone Stamp tool selected, hold down Alt or Option to pick an area to sample from to begin cloning. Don't pick an area too close to where you are cloning, like right in here, or you're going to get obvious repetition. And change your sample area often. Go back over areas that don't look right or that have obvious repetition. You can't use the Patch tool on areas like this that don't have any pixels at all, such as Transparency or this large white area, because if you do, you're going to get a smudge from that area.
Let's change to the Patch tool and select an area that goes into the white area and drag it down, and you can see how it's smudged. We're going to undo that with Ctrl+Z or Command+Z and deselect using Ctrl+D or Command+D. If you have Photoshop CS5, you can give Content-Aware Fill a try to see out works out. To use your Patch tool or any selection tool, you can select an area-- we'll start off with this smaller area on the corner--go up to Edit > Fill > Content Aware, and click OK.
And just like that, it's filled in. You see, there is a little smudgy area here and if there is, you can just use your Patch tool and bring it down for a better blend. You can do that as many times as you need to. Let's try another area down here with Content Aware, a bigger area this time. Edit > Fill > Content Aware. Click OK. Now you'll see this got the area of the foot over here and to take care of that, just select it, and you can either bring it over--although in this case there's going to be this white, so the Patch tool won't work so good--or you can go up to Edit, once again, Fill > Content Aware, and OK.
That filled that in nicely. You can get rid of the white areas on the side the same way: Edit > Fill > Content Aware. Now let's just do this one very large area to see how that works for us. You can again either go to Edit > Fill > Content Aware, or you can Shift+F5 to bring up the dialog box. Click OK.
And that filled that in very nicely. And again, if you get these blurred areas, just use your Patch tool to blend. Even when pieces of an image go missing, there are ways to get them back. Missing corners are especially easy, because there are often areas to sample from to reconstruct them. The pitfalls in doing this kind of sampling are the ever-present dangers of over-cloning, when areas are repeated over and over within a small area, but just a little attention to detail can prevent that from happening.

Andrew Goudelock made $475,000 last season as a second round pick with the Los Angeles Lakers. Goudelock was cut by the Lakers before the season opener this season and went on to play in the D-League, ultimately winning MVP honors. The Lakers signed Goudelock for the final two games of the regular season and playoffs following Kobe Bryant's season-ending injury. "I'm broke," Goudelock said. "I'm cool. Nobody would know that I'm broke. I just come here with a smile on my face." Goudelock averaged 21.4 points in the D-League and is now starting for the Lakers int he playoffs. "This business just keeps getting crazier," Goudelock said. "I wouldn't think I'd be here two weeks ago. Nothing happens the way it's supposed to happen. This is a great opportunity, going from the D-League a week and a half ago to starting in the playoffs. It shows you the nature of the business."

From Boi to Man (4 hr workout)
My lurking days are over!!!!!!!!
The name's Andrei I'm more or less an art student (or so I like to present myself) and I'm starting this SB so that I can improve ... a lot. I've finally mustered up the cojones to start this thing up because I've been putting it off. My hope is to somehow be able to put in at least a good 4 hours a day to drawing and painting and see where this gets me in a year (chances are, dead).
I'm gonna post as often as possible (life drawings, subway sketches, creature/character designs, digital paintings etc). I love critique, so feel free to do so.

@Grriffion Thanks man I'll be sure to check out your stuff
I know this is a pitiful update but my main pc crashed so I haven't painted much lately.
This is a piece I did for the Coro Chiustream interview the topic was homeless warrior.

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
