Many thanks to all of you who have sent in contributions for vestments for the Sacred Liturgy via Damian Thompson's Holy Smoke blog, and Fr Zuhlsdorf's "pound Fr Finigan" campaign on his blog What Does the Prayer Really Say?. Tomorrow morning's Mass (EF) will be offered for your intentions.
Unfortunately, the current centralised banking system in my diocese does not allow for internet access to the current transactions so I will have to ask for a printed statement to ascertain the total of donations received. There are also pledges of further donations so we will easily reach the total required to pay for a fine set of rose vestments to be used for Mass on Laetare Sunday.
I have now managed to secure sacred ministers for the EF Mass that Sunday, so we will be able to celebrate High Mass in the fullest expression of the Roman Liturgy in a normal parish setting.
Thank you all for your generosity and God bless you. We will be blessing the vestments tomorrow and the servers are looking forward to setting them out for Mass - in both forms of the Roman Rite.

They say weddings are a pressure-cooker experience for single women. Though I'm not exactly sure what a pressure cooker looks like, I feel certain I've had the opportunity to purchase one from friends' bridal registries over the past 10 years. But this is the season for weddings and I love attending them.
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure. But that's par for the course and where my imagination goes when I think of these people anyway. It has nothing to do with my penchant for a decadent and spectacular wedding. For a long time I was certain the vows I witnessed in a castle outside Dublin on Halloween would take the cake for "most awesome".
I suppose you could say I also attended the royal wedding – along with half my American friends who got up at 6am to make scones and critique hats – but that wedding was contained on a pixilated screen and thus not in the running to make me feel legitimately inferior.
But now, sorry as I am to usurp my dear Dublin friends, I must report there's a new contender for the prize: the wedding I attended on a former plantation in Virginia last weekend.
Though the groom is a very old friend, I had never been down to his home. I can now see why. It's one thing to drive for minutes up one's tree-lined driveway. It's another to find a second driveway and the last single-family-owned former plantation in America waiting for you at the end.
Obviously the mere sight of an actual former plantation in America is a complicated thing. No one can live guilt-free, casually raised on one, without being haunted by its history.
But watching my friends dance under a giant tent last weekend as the thunder and rain came down, it was impossible not to recognise that this wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The ante was upped. And me? I think for once I even used my salad fork to eat salad.

When you have barrels and barrels of money at your disposal and your own line of clothing and stores to draw from, why would you put this on your rather curvaceous (bordering on rather LARGE CURVES and we ain't talking booty here…yet) body and go out in public? Who is standing beside you when you dress and when you decide, 'yeah this is totally hot, they are gonna love it?'
It isn't like everyone expects every outfit to be the perfect one. But we do expect what you do wear to not be ludicrous and ridiculous.
Yes, Kim, you are getting to an age when this style is best left to the barely twenty somethings. There does come a day when you have to reevaluate your style and evolve to fit the times (like the times of your twenties, the times of your thirties,the time where you are coming up to your forties, those times). As Butters from South Park says,'" Her butt is like a big mountain of pudding" (that ain't supposed to be, flattering girl!)
Yes, there are some women who are timeless and who seem to be able to pull off everything they wear. Perhaps if you were built a little more classy and not built for sex, Jessica Rabbit, it would have been a touch different. Your body is not built for this kind of play wear. Come on Kim, Did you not look in the mirror before you left? You really need to have a more critical eye. Take a look at your ass from behind. Is this really attractive?? Honey as you get older your "Baby got Back" grows and gets longer and longer. Start looking in the mirror and reign that huge mass in! It is like you are being satellited by two huge moons! Put some panties on, Kim, and have some class!! We don't want to see your crack (more like a HUGE crevace). Seriously NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT!!!!
KANYE, what the hell is the matter with you? Are you seriously trying to see how ridiculous you can get Kim to look? TELL HER IT LOOKS TACKY AND CHEAP and when you already have a reality show on showing the world your family business, she DOESN"T NEED ANYTHING ELSE TO MAKE HER LOOK TACKY AND CHEAP!!!

Healthy Hollywood has a major girl crush on Kate Hudson! She's one actress that absolutely lights up a room without a hint of divadom. She's got a winning smile, a down-to-earth attitude and a body that simply rocks!
Healthy Hollywood chatted with bubbly blonde the other day in Manhattan, where she was promoting her new role as Global Ambassador for Almay cosmetics. She's been the face of the cosmetic brand since 2010. "I have always been a makeup girl. From a really young age I was always experimenting with makeup. I love it," reveals Kate to Healthy Hollywood.

In person, Kate looks sensational - her makeup is very subtle and her overall look is super natural. "Almay is about practical makeup. Now, they're reintroducing brighter colors, and but still keeping that natural look."
Let's talk about that body! The mother of two has been flashing her six-pack abs as a hot teacher during this season's Glee. Kate, 33, admits working hard to get those abs. "You know it's like anything, you got to work out. I mean you got to figure out ways to do it," adds Kate to Healthy Hollywood.

Pilates and Tracy Anderson's toning program are part of her exercise regimen. But, she also works out with her 8-year-old son, Ryder. "What I started doing was taking kickboxing with Ryder, which has been really fun. We do stuff with bags and so we'll see how long each of us can go. Ryder has been so much fun. I take him on my back. I'll do sprints with him on my back. I'll do squats with him on my back." Hey, the family that plays together stays fit together!
She also tries to eat healthy, but does allow for the occasional indulgence. "We're starting to educate ourselves, but at the end of the day, I want to eat a big bowl of pasta. I want pizza. I think there's a way to balance it and just keep mindful."
Aw, if only every celeb could be as nice 'n normal as Kate!

George Clooney has reportedly revealed he is to marry his fiancee Amal Alamuddin in Venice in a couple of weeks.
The actor and the British human rights lawyer were in Florence to support Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli in raising funds for charity.
An excited crowd waited outside the city's town hall, the Palazzo Vecchio, hoping for a glimpse of Clooney and Ms Alamuddin.
The couple posed for photographers both outside and inside as photographers shouted for "George" to turn towards them.
The Hollywood star told the audience gathered at the Celebrity Fight Night event he is excited about tying the knot.
"I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying in a couple of weeks, in Venice, of all places," he told People magazine.
Clooney was presented with the Humanitarian Award at the black-tie event, held in support of the Andrea Bocelli Foundations and The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center.
Rumours have surrounded the couple and where and when they will marry. Clooney has close ties to Italy and owns a villa on Lake Como.
Last month the couple, who got engaged in April, registered their marriage at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London.

Four months after Boko Haram shocked the world by kidnapping more than 200 students, a small group of schoolgirls who narrowly escaped from the Islamist extremists were facing a new dilemma: Should they go back to school?
It was an agonizing decision for the girls from Chibok and their nervous parents, who were afraid of another horrifying attack if they let their daughters go to school again.
Some parents refused. But today, 21 of the escapees from Nigeria's most notorious kidnapping are at an elite private school in the city of Yola, studying for careers as doctors, teachers and engineers.
The American University of Nigeria's scholarships allowed the Chibok students to enter a preparatory program for entrance exams at its campus in Yola, about 300 kilometres south of Chibok.
More than nine months after the kidnapping, most of the Chibok girls are still so traumatized by their close escape from Boko Haram that they refuse to talk about it. But in conversation, they are surprisingly cheerful. They talk of their hopes and dreams, revealing remarkable courage and determination. They talk of their ambition to become physicians and engineers, so they can return to build hospitals for their impoverished communities.
"To save lives – that's the most important thing," says Yana, one of the Chibok students.
"There are people who need medical care and can't afford it. There's no means of transport. If you don't have a motorcycle, you can die."
Like the other students, 19-year-old Yana doesn't want her full name to be published, to avoid pressure from the glare of world attention.
Instead she prefers to talk about the joys of education, and all the advantages that she never had before: a science laboratory, microscopes, computers and a school full of mentors and professors.
It was a Canadian professor at the university, Jessica Boyd, who introduced the Chibok girls to microscopes for the first time. "It's amazing to see invisible things," Yana marvels.
On the night of April 14 last year, Yana and the other schoolgirls were asleep at their boarding school in Chibok when they were woken by the noise of movement in the school.
A group of armed men, posing as soldiers, told the students to go outside into waiting trucks, so they could be "rescued."
Some of the schoolgirls noticed oddities in the gunmen's appearance.
They wore no shoes, and had scarfs wrapped around their heads.
"They told the girls to get into their vehicles," one student recalled in a university videotape.
"Miraculously I escaped. I didn't follow them. I jumped through the window and ran and kept running. I went into the bush, and that's how I escaped."
One of the escapees was the sister of an American University security guard named Godiya.
A few months after the kidnapping, Godiya timidly asked the university officials if they could help her sister.
The students weren't getting any education in Chibok, where schools were closed and families were constantly in danger of another Boko Haram attack.
University president Margee Ensign promised to help, and Godiya went back to Chibok to find girls who were willing to accept scholarships.
Travelling on a motorcycle through heavy rains and even over a deadly cobra, she went from family to family and compiled a list of students.
In late August, Ms. Ensign decided to travel toward Chibok to pick up the first group of students in a nearby village, accompanied by the university's security director, Lionel Rawlins, a former U.S. Marine.
It was an audacious mission: a journey to the edge of Boko Haram territory.
The university's armed security guards refused to go with them.
To make it even more dangerous, their two buses were carrying the logo of the American University of Nigeria – a provocation to Boko Haram, whose very name ("Western education is forbidden") signals its hatred of everything the university stands for.
Ms. Ensign and Mr. Rawlins covered up the biggest of the logos on their buses, drove north for hundreds of kilometres and eventually reached the village where the girls were staying.
One of the fathers told them of his fears for the children. "We have brought you only a few of the girls, as a test, to see how it is," he told the university officials.
The experiment seems to have succeeded.
Ms. Boyd, a professor from Halifax who chairs the university's natural and environmental sciences program, has been astonished by the resilience of the Chibok students.
"They've been through hell and back, and they must feel terrible for their friends who haven't come back, and yet they are still upbeat," she said.
"They've been given a chance, and they're not going to waste it.
"They're going to take what they're learning and take it back to their villages for future generations.
"I have a lot of hope for the future of Nigeria after meeting these ladies."
Like most young Nigerian women, the Chibok students are acutely aware of the social pressure to get married at a young age – which could make it impossible for them to pursue their education.
When they met Ms. Boyd, they asked her if she was married. When she told them that she was unmarried, they burst into applause and cheered.
Unlike many wealthier students, the Chibok students have little sense of entitlement. When the university president asked them whether she could bring them back anything from the United States during the December holidays, they asked for only one thing: dictionaries for their studies.Report Typo/Error

"Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess." These were the immortal words of the bard of Knotty Ash, Ken Dodd.
"I thank the Lord that I've been blessed, with more than my share of happiness." There are some who may have believed that the main cause of Doddy's happiness was having £336,000 in cash under his mattress - he was pursued by the Inland Revenue in the late 1980s, but, amazingly, a Liverpool jury found him innocent. Doddy explained that it was kept there as a safeguard in case of civil war - but we will let that pass. Anyway, the point is that happiness is back on the agenda, put there by a relentlessly optimistic David Cameron (and, yes, I don't know what he's got to be optimistic about, either). He wants there to be a national measure of psychological well-being, and I think he should be encouraged, given how interesting the initial findings are. For instance, did you know what makes students happy? No, it's not a ready supply of sex and drugs, a lifetime subscription to Heat magazine and a neverending happy hour in the union bar. What students value, according to the results from 34,000 responses, is - and I kid you not - world peace, alternative fuels and mortgages. And critics of the study have dismissed the results as predictable! Neither do I recognise some of the aspects of life that are said to make adults happy, like exercise classes, access to a good play group or being a good mum. (I realise I am now being very subjective.) But where, for example, is finding a parking space in the West End of London? Or going to Ikea (or any such store) and being told that, yes, they do have exactly the thing you wanted? Or discovering that you are able to make a piece of technology work (this can include anything from a digital camera to a mobile phone)? The whole point of happiness, I suppose, is that it is, by its very nature, a matter of personal taste. That is not, however, a reason to dismiss the Government's well intentioned efforts to measure the national happiness quotient. And also to encourage people to look beyond material goods for pleasure. From the responses posted so far, it seems to me that teenagers are the group who have best grasped this concept. They were clear what makes them happy: chocolate, family, football, friends, money, pets, sun, The Only Way is Essex, alcohol and bed. To some of us, that simply sounds like the recipe for a perfect day! Without The Only Way is Essex, obviously.

I bought this to try my hand at fly fishing, I bought a second one for my father for Father's Day so he could try it. This is a very serviceable set that does what it's supposed to. Is it a $500 set, no, but it's decent and it catches fish. Very good deal.
Very nice combo overall, exceptional value.
I caught two bass before I was I the water good.
Was as described
I purchased this item as a beginner to fly fishing. My very first outing two of the rivets holding the reel together fell out.
Just starting out learning fly fishing. My instructor said it was a good pole for the money. Can't wait to catch my trophy Trout.

Sacramento Area Unemployment Rate at 8.1 Percent
The Sacramento area saw some pretty healthy job growth last month.
The unemployment rate across our four-county area is down another 10th of a point to 8.1 percent, which mirrors the state's rate.
Eight of 12 major sectors showed improvement with more than 9,000 jobs added -- that's three times the average.
"March historically is a month that we normally see an increase in jobs. You know, 9,300 was our largest since 2002, so that definitely stood out," George Marley with the Employment Development Department said.
Marley says leisure and hospitality showed the most gains.
The region has added 16,000 jobs over the last year.
Employers across the state added nearly 12,000 jobs last month.

President Obama Comments on Theater Shooting Tragedy
President Obama appeared at a press conference in Ft. Myers, Florida this morning and commented on the tragic shootings which ocurred inside an Aurora, CO movie theater during last night's midnight showing of 'The Black Knight Rises.' The President learned of the tragedy at 5:26 AM ET in a call from his Adviser for Homeland Security, John Brennan.
The transcript of the President's remarks follows:
Well, let me, first of all, say how grateful I am for all of you being here, and how much we appreciate everything that you've done. I know that there are a lot of people here who have been so engaged in the campaign, have sacrificed so much, people who've been involved back since 2007. (Applause.) And so I want all of you to know how appreciative I am.
And I know many of you came here today for a campaign event. I was looking forward to having a fun conversation with you about some really important matters that we face as a country and the differences between myself and my opponent in this election. But this morning, we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways that we are united as one American family.
By now, many of you know, many of you have heard that a few miles outside of Denver in a town call Aurora, at least 12 people were killed when a gunman opened fire in a movie theater, and dozens more are being treated for injuries at a local hospital. Some of the victims are being treated at a children's hospital.
We're still gathering all the facts about what happened in Aurora, but what we do know is that the police have one suspect in custody. And the federal government stands ready to do whatever is necessary to bring whoever is responsible for this heinous crime to justice. (Applause.) And we will take every step possible to ensure the safety of all of our people.
We're going to stand by our neighbors in Colorado during this extraordinarily difficult time. And I had a chance to speak with the Mayor of Aurora as well as the Governor of Colorado to express, not just on behalf of Michelle and myself, but the entire American family, how heartbroken we are.
Now, even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason. But while we will never know fully what causes somebody to take the life of another, we do know what makes life worth living. The people we lost in Aurora loved and they were loved. They were mothers and fathers; they were husbands and wives; sisters and brothers; sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. They had hopes for the future and they had dreams that were not yet fulfilled.

Battlefield 3 Strats: LAV/MBT and Operation Metro Commentaries from iCoNiC Wallee
With the final DLC for Battlefield 3 officially set to release across all formats the next two weeks, it's time to step your Battlefield game up. One of my favorite people to play Battlefield with is iConic Wallee, a big time streamer on Twitch.tv that we here at Analog Hype very openly support. Wallee has logged thousands of hours into the Battlefield franchise and he's got some pretty awesome tips and tricks he's decided to share in a series of commentary videos he's started. His first two commentaries are out now, and you'll be able to check them out below. If you have any Battlefield related questions, definitely leave us a comment below and we will try to pass them Wallee's way.
Operation Metro Commentary – As any Battlefield player knows, Operation Metro is by far and away the most popular map in Battlefield 3. I never thought I would get to a point where I was more interested in playing ground maps than I was tanking, but Operation Metro definitely grew on me and I've learned a lot both playing with Wallee and watching him on his stream. It's never too late to learn some good Metro strats, so for his first commentary, check out some tips on how to survive Operation Metro:
LAV/MBT Commentary – I've been tanking with Wallee since Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and believe me when I say it: he's being modest when he says he's not great in the heavy tank. I agree completely when he says having a good tank crew is the most important part of tanking, as I can't tell you how many times I've personally gone solo or had an idiot in my gunner seat that doesn't communicate and doesn't know what to do. I don't play Tehran Highway much anymore, but this is definitely one of the major tanking maps in the game and there is a ton of great info here.
If you like what you see, make sure you check out Wallee on his Twitch.tv channel and subscribe to the iCoNic Media Group on YouTube. It looks like he'll have more videos coming soon, so we'll make sure to pass them along. Look for tons of Battlefield 3: End Game coverage starting this Tuesday March 5th once it is released on Playstation 3.

Chapter II
It was early Saturday morning, Todd had walked to the house where Marissa addressed him to go. He was somewhat pretentious about even coming. He thought this entire "spend two months with Marissa while she dies of Cancer" thing was ridiculous, he didn't even know her, but what the hell, it was for a million dollars, so, he'd do it. He rung her doorbell, and she opened the door, looking a bit pale, but she managed to briefly smile.
Marissa: You're early.
Todd: (looks down and shrugs) Yeah, so, where's the cameras for this show?
Marissa: At home, come on, let's go. Where's your clothes and things?
Todd: (looks at her confusingly) Home? This isn't you home, you don't live in New York?
Marissa: No I live in Arizona. We have to get ready to get on the plane.
Marissa closed and locked the door to the house and walked away from the house, and he looked at her with confusion. He walked after her and lightly grabbed her arm.
Todd: Wait, so you and I have to fly—out of New York—to Arizona?
Marissa: (nods and smiles) Yup, won't that be fun. (lightly pats the side of his face and laughs and walks away)
Todd raises an eyebrow at her and scoffs and shakes his head.
Todd: (low voice) Its for the money, Todd, just for the money.
Todd sighs and walks to the car he drove in, a black Jeep Liberty, he unlocked the passenger side door and opened it for her and she got inside, and he got in on the driver's side. He sighed and looked at her, before starting the car.
Todd: So, where are we going? To the airport?
Marissa: (nods) Yeah, you got it.
Todd scoffed and shook his head and started the car and drove off.
Marissa: Did you bring cl—(he cuts in)
Todd: (coldly) Yeah, I did, thank you for asking.
Marissa: (scoffs and smiles briefly) Number thirteen.
Todd briefly glanced at her with an eyebrow raised, as he turned the corner onto the main streets of New York.
Todd: What? Number thirteen? What the hell does that mean? (scoffs and shakes his head)
Marissa: It's a list of things I need to change and do before I leave in two months, you're number thirteen.
Todd: (looks at her) What do you mean, I'm number thirteen? (laughs)
Marissa: You're attitude is number thirteen on the list of things I have to change and do.
Todd looks away from her and laughs.
Todd: Good luck with that, Marissa. I doubt if you'll make number-thirteen in two months. Number thirteen has been like this all his life.
Marissa: (looks at him and smiles) Don't be so sure, a lot can change in two months.
Todd didn't feel like hearing her, at all, so he turned on the radio, to the Rolling Stones "If You Start me Up". With the radio on, he could drown her out. For some reason she irked him—a lot.
Marissa immediately turned the station to a station playing "Mother, We Just Can't Enough" by the New Radicals. Todd looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
Todd: Did you just touch my radio?
Marissa: (laughs) Oh I'm sorry, I just am not a big Rolling Stones fan.
Todd stared at her and then looked away and shook his head.
Todd: Why does that not surprise me?
When they arrived in Arizona, they took Marissa's shiny, black Lincoln Navigator. When they arrived in Arizona, it was night time. Marissa was driving to her home with Todd. They were mostly quiet until:
Todd: So, the camera guys are going to be there at –(stops and looks at his watch) eight at night?
Marissa: No, tomorrow morning. Its too late tonight to shoot anything.
Todd: So what's going to happen after the two months are over?
Marissa: (glanced at him with seriousness and shrugged) What do you mean, what's going to happen?
Todd: I mean, do—(looks down and shrugs) did the doctor give you an exact date of death?
Marissa: September nineteenth is the date.
Todd looked at her with an eyebrow raised and nodded and then blinked heavily.
Todd: I'm sorry.
Marissa: No, no need for that. Its no need for sorry's. God has a reason why I have this disease, I'm not afraid.
Todd stared at her as she pulled the car into the driveway of the house, a part of him felt sympathy for her, a lot of sympathy. She noticed him looking at her and she scoffed and smiled as she turned the car off in the garage of her home.
Marissa: Nah, ah, none of those pity looks, I told you, I don't want pity.
Todd: (laughed briefly) I wasn't looking at you with pity. I—(stops and scoffs and briefly smiles) Whatever.
Marissa lead Todd in her home, and her home was exquisite. It looked more like a spacious mansion, than a regular home. The floors were tan shiny marbled and there was a huge living room with a big screen television in the wall. The white, leather sofa, looked comfy and long. Next to the living room was the spacious dining room, with the dining room table and chairs. Next to that was the spacious kitchen with the big island in the middle of the floor with shiny, stainless steel appliances. The inside of the house looked like something out of a magazine. Todd looked all around the house and scoffed and smiled briefly.
Todd: This looks more like a museum than a house.
Marissa: (laughs) Hey, what can I say? I like space. Come on, let me show you your room.
Marissa leads Todd upstairs to a bedroom, that's spacious, with a huge, flat screen television in the room, and a comfy full sized bed, with a big bay window with beautiful sheer lavender curtains. The room looked awesome.
Todd: This is the room I'll be in? With the girly lavender curtains? (laughs)
Marissa: (laughs) Oh please, the curtains are not girly. Its either this room or you can sleep in my room with me. (raises an eyebrow and smiles at Todd)
Todd: I think I'll take this room, thanks. (scoffs and shakes his head and smiles briefly)
Marissa: Yeah, that's what I thought. Alright, drop your bags and stuff in here, because we have to be back out in fifteen minutes.
Todd: Whoa, wait, where are we going? We just got here.
Marissa: (smiles) You'll see, meet me outside in the car.
Marissa walks out the room and Todd sighed with a hint of frustration. He was already tired from the day of flying from New York over to Arizona and now he couldn't even have a moment to rest for the night. Why was he doing this again? Oh yeah, for a million dollars, he couldn't forget that. Todd threw his bags on the bed and left out the room. He left out the house and walked out to her car and got in on the passenger side and looked at her briefly.
Todd: So where are you taking me now? Are we flying to California? Driving to Mexico—what?
Marissa laughed.
Marissa: You're funny, but no, we're driving somewhere local to—well you'll see soon enough.
Marissa started the car and drove off and Todd sighed with irritation. He didn't like to be carried off somewhere he didn't know of.
Theme Song: "Drunken Piper" ~ Natalie MacMaster
Marissa drove up to what looked to be a huge picnic area, there was a huge brightly lit tent in the middle of the picnic area, there was a stage in the front of the tent, where a band was playing music, and there were about one hundred people dancing to the music from the band inside the tent, while some were sitting at tables inside the tent—drinking, chatting with people. It wad kind of like an outdoor picnic music festival. Marissa parked the car a few feet from the tent and turned the car off. Todd looked at the tent with the people inside with a confused look and an eyebrow raised.
Todd: Where in the hell are we?
Marissa: (smiles) A music festival, and number twenty-nine on my list.
Todd: Number twenty-nine, what's that?
Marissa: Dance, I want to dance with someone.
Todd looked at her with a confused frown.
Todd: WHAT? (scoffed and laughed briefly) What do you mean, you wanna dance with someone?
Marissa: I never danced with anyone—I mean REALLY danced with anyone and had fun before. Now that you're here, I can.
Todd: (looks at her and then back at the tent full of people while blinking heavily) Are there cameras and stuff in there?
Marissa: (nods) Yup, lets go.
Todd: I thought you said they weren't showing up until tomorrow.
Marissa: I know, they weren't, until I called them to come tonight. Now get out, Todd, let's go. (laughs and gets out the car)
Theme Song: "Tracks of My Tears" ~ Smokey Robinson
Todd sighed with frustration and anger. The last thing he felt like doing was dancing, he just wanted to sleep, he was tired, and tired and oh yeah—tired. He started his day at six a.m. and here it was eight at night and MARISSA wanted to dance. This was not going well. He got out the car and cursed mentally in anger at himself for even accepting to do this stupid deal, no matter how much money she was offering. He sighed and walked over to her and blinked heavily at her in apparent anger.
Todd: (coldly) I'm tired.
Marissa: (smiles) I know. (gently touches the side of his face) That's why I brought you here. I wouldn't have brought you here if I didn't know what I was doing.
Marissa took Todd's hand into hers and led him to the inside of the tent. He looked down at her hand, firmly enclosed in his and blinked heavily. He wanted to yank his hand away but didn't, he may have had an attitude from time to time, but he wasn't insensitive—especially to someone with Terminal Cancer. As they walked in the tent, the band was playing the song "Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson. Todd scoffed and laughed briefly.
Todd: (low voice) Good God, I've stepped back into the fifties.
Marissa: (laughs) I heard that, and no you haven't. This is going to be fun.
Within minutes, a young woman with long, waist length dark brown hair and who was skinny in frame and looked like a full fledged American Indian, and who looked to be in her thirties walked over to Marissa. Her name was Rebecca. Rebecca smiled and gasped and hugged Marissa.
Rebecca: Marissa! You made it! (laughs) How are you?
Marissa: I'm great. (smiles) Yeah you knew I couldn't stay away for an event like this.
Todd stood there next to Marissa, who still held on to Todd's hand firmly, he was looking around at everyone on the dance floor and sitting at tables, trying his best to block out the conversation that was going on between Marissa and Rebecca.
Rebecca: So, who's this cute guy next to you?
Marissa: This is Todd Pettengill, he's—(Rebecca cuts in)
Rebecca: (Gasps and smiles) Yeah I know him! You're the host of that show Dish Nation, right?
Todd smiles briefly and nods.
Todd: Yeah I am, nice to meet you.
Todd extends his hand to her and she shakes it.
Marissa: Todd, this is one of my best friends, Rebecca Mitchell and Rebecca, this is my—my um—(stops and looks at Todd, who was staring at her with a curious look as to how she would introduce him) my companion for the next two months.
Todd: (looks shocked with raised eyebrows) Your WHAT? I—(he was quieted by Marissa covering his mouth with her hand and Rebecca laughed)
Rebecca: (laughs) Oh I see, well I'm glad you finally found someone for the two months. Its great to meet you, Todd. Well I have to go. James is over in the corner probably wondering where I went off too. We'll talk later, Marissa.
Marissa nodded as Rebecca walked away, Todd yanked his hand away and looked at her with upset.
Todd: Your companion? I am NOT your boyfriend, or—companion. This—THIS is just a two month—spending time.
Marissa: Relax Todd, that's what I mean. Companion for the next two months. Did you hear me say boyfriend? Do you know what companion even means?
Todd: (frowns) Of course I know what it means, what the hell—(stops and looks down and sighs and briefly closes his eyes) Fine. (shakes his head) whatever.
Just then, the song, "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by The Temptations is played the DJ in the room, and Marissa gasps and smiles.
Marissa: Oh this is my favorite song, come on, you have to dance with me to it, Todd!
Todd: (looks at her with a frown) What? No, no I don't want to. Ask someone else.
Marissa leads him to the middle of the dance floor, where there are already people dancing to the song.
Marissa: Oh come on, Todd. It will be fun.
Todd: No, I don't WANT to.
Marissa: Oh I see, you're probably too old to dance anyway. (scoffs and shakes her head)
Todd sighed and frowned briefly. Why did this woman always have to challenge him? He took her hands into his.
Todd: Fine, once again, your challenge has gotten me to accept your ridiculous request. I—I'm not good with dancing though, I dance about as good as Lindsay Lohan can act.
Marissa: (laughs) Don't worry, just follow my lead.
Marissa puts one of his hands around her waist and take his other hand and encloses it in hers.
Marissa: Just follow my lead.
Marissa and Todd started hand dancing together, and at first, he wasn't getting the steps down right, at all, he was stepping on her toes, and missing steps, it was bad, but then, he started getting the hang of the 50's hand dancing style that everyone was doing on the dance floor, and he became pretty good at it—twirling her around, both of them dancing and twisting and turning through the moves, they were dancing so well, that the other dancers on the floor were staring at them and some were even stopping to look at Todd and Marissa dancing.
Marissa: (smiles while dancing with him) Hey, you're doing pretty good.
Todd: (laughs) Well, yeah I lied, dancing is one of my good talents, dancing, and making fun of the cast of Jersey Shore. (Marissa laughed)
Todd and Marissa continued dancing with him turning and swirling her around and mastering each step perfectly. Marissa was surprised at how Todd seemed to be enjoying dancing with her, but of course, it was all in her plan. She knew exactly what she was doing. After the song was over, Marissa laughed as everyone clapped for them.
Marissa: (smiles) See, wasn't that fun?
Todd: (nods and smiles briefly) It was, I'll admit it, but shh, don't tell anyone I was dancing here, alright? Especially not Cooper or Scott.
Marissa: (looked at Todd with an eyebrow raised) Todd, I won't see them after you leave in two months, I'll be gone.
Todd's smile faded, he looked down and blinked heavily and then looked up at her.
Todd: Oh that's—that's right. I—I forgot, I—I'm sorry. I—(Marissa cut in)
Marissa: Shh, don't. I don't—want to talk about that. Come on, last dance, before we go home.
Marissa took Todd's hand and lead him closer to where the band was, as the song "Learning To Breathe" by Switchfoot started being played by the DJ. Marissa and Todd started slow dancing to the song, as were other couples on the floor.
Marissa: (smiles) So this is what twenty-nine feels like. Its nice. (scoffs and smiles briefly)
Todd: What's twenty-eight?
Marissa: You'll find out later. (scoffs and smiles)
Todd: (nods and shakes his head) Alright, I guess. How come you aren't afraid to die?
Marissa: (sighs) Because my time on Earth is up, I was put here for specific reasons, in which after those reasons are done, my time is up, and I have to go home.
Todd: (nods with an eyebrow raised) Uh huh, so what was your reasons for being here on Earth? For being—here?
Marissa: I was put here to show the world life through my eyes, I've done that through my films and now that you're going to spend the next two months with me—my final two months, my final purpose is to change your view of life and love for the better. (scoffs and smiles)
Todd stares at her, blinking heavily.
Todd: And—(stops and shakes his head and smiles briefly) How do you plan to do that?
Marissa: (smiles and looks up at him) You'll see.
Todd and Marissa forget the song is over, and are standing there, sharing eye contact, then Marissa laughs and looks away and takes his hand and leads him off the dance floor.
Marissa: The song is over Todd, or didn't you notice? (laughs) I'm ready to go home and have a nice cup of coffee.
Todd looks down and scoffs and briefly smiles.
Todd: Yeah, um, coffee sounds great right now. Coffee and sleep.
Theme Song: "Only Hope" ~ Mandy Moore
As Todd and Marissa walked out of the tent, to Marissa's car, Marissa started feeling lightheaded, very light headed. She felt like everything around her was spinning. As they reached the car, she fell to the ground, in weakness, on her knees. Todd stopped and knelt down beside her.
Todd: Hey, you alright, what's wrong?
Marissa: (low voice) I—I feel a little—weak. Can—can you drive, Todd?
Todd blinked at her with a concerned look and nodded and helped her up to her feet, but she almost fell back down in his arms again.
Todd: Can you make it to the car?
Marissa: (shook her head and said in a low voice) No—no I can't.
Todd hesitated at first, but then picked her up in his arms and carried her to the passenger side of the car and opened the car door and put her in the passenger seat. Marissa looked at him, with weak eyes.
Marissa: (low voice) I think I may have over did it tonight. (laughs)
Todd: (scoffed and smiled briefly) Yeah, you think? Its alright, I'm driving you back to your house.
Todd got in the driver's seat and drove off. He was constantly glancing at her to make sure she was alright, but looked at her with real concern, when he looked at her and saw she looked unconscious. He pulled the car over and slid over beside her and touched her hand.
Todd: Marissa? Marissa—are you alright?
He felt for her pulse and sighed with relief when he felt a pulse, and heard her sleeping. He blinked heavily and sighed again and got back on his side and pulled the car off and continued driving. When they arrived back at the house, he tried to gently shake her.
Todd: Marissa? We're back—at your house now. (shakes her) Marissa?
Marissa wasn't answering, and Todd sighed and looked away with a concerned look. This was not something he was use to. He got out on the driver's side and went over to the passenger side and got her out the car and carried her in his arms, inside the house. He carried her to her bedroom and laid her on her bed and sighed as he sat beside her on the bed and just stared at her for a few minutes, while she was sleeping peacefully on the bed. He gently touched her forehead and the side of her face. He couldn't deny, she was a beautiful young woman, he could stare at her for hours, was it just him being tired or was he becoming attracted to her? He wasn't sure, but he gently held her hand and felt an instant spark of worry come over him—for her. He immediately dropped her hand and got up off the bed and blinked heavily with a confused look. He couldn't let himself forget that he was there for her, only for the money, even though in that brief moment, he felt a small tinge of feeling for her, he couldn't let himself do that—or could he? He wasn't sure at that moment, but the next couple of days would give him that answer he needed….

Coach Brian Pensky, before he lost his voice midway through a question, noted the anemic offense – just three goals in five games – but he also pointed out that just two balls had found the net against Tennessee in five games, one each by Kentucky on Friday and Arkansas on Sept. 28.
"I think we've got to become more dangerous in the attacking end," Penksy said. "Obviously with a lot of 1-0 games, you're not scoring too many goals. Right now, we're not scoring very many goals. We have three goals in our last five games. That's a problem. The positive side is we've given up two goals in our last five games."

Sophomore goalie Julie Eckel has been outstanding this season, and she entered the game with an 0.476 goals against average which is the 13th best GAA in the country and No. 2 in the SEC. She has now allowed just eight goals in 15 games.
Assistant Coach Joe Mallia pinch hit for Pensky for the rest of the media interview and said offensive execution is part of the reason for the dearth of goals, and those issues are fixable.
The game was 0-0 at halftime and stayed that way until midway through the second half when Kentucky's Kelli Hubly, on an assist from Arin Gilliland, punched the ball through the lower right side of the net.
Both teams totaled 15 shots with the Wildcats making the most of one of theirs. Tennessee had two good chances in the second half after Hannah Wilkinson scooted along the baseline and fired cross passes into the box, but she couldn't connect with a teammate, and Kentucky cleared the ball safely away.
A crowd of 1,351 was on hand Friday on a cool evening, and many folks donned the Lady Vol scarves that were giveaways to the first 1,000 fans.
The Lady Vols will host LSU on Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern at Regal Soccer Stadium.

Candy Land
As far as witches go, the one in Hansel and Gretel is especially wicked--a calculating cannibal who cages children, luring them to their demises with the things they desire most. At first look, what Hansel and Gretel desire most are sweets. But when we realize that the story begins with their father abandoning the children because he can't afford to feed them, a greater need comes to light. The children are so starved--and we don't necessarily mean for lollipops--that they totally ignore the danger. But, like other Grimm fairy tales, that element can be a bit heavy for child audiences. So, when it's told through a puppet show at the Dallas Children's Theater, Hansel and Gretel are simply lost in the woods, dazzled by a candy house and forced to rely on their wits to escape and live happily ever after. Hansel and Gretel as performed by Kathy Burks' School of Puppetry Arts shows at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through March 21 at the Studio Theater at Dallas Children's Theater's Rosewood Center for Family Arts, 5938 Skillman St. Tickets are $14 to $20. Call 214-740-0051 or dct.org.
Fridays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 1:30 & 4:30 p.m. Starts: Feb. 26. Continues through March 21, 2010

At this epically nerdy spelling bee, contestants choose between two preliminary rounds: "swords" for fantasy buffs and "space" for science-fiction geeks. Finalists tackle vocabulary from both genres, spelling words like morsmordre (that's the incantation used to conjure the Dark Mark in the Harry Potter series) and hooloovoo (a superintelligent shade of blue mentioned in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which author Douglas Adams also managed to sneak into season 17 of Doctor Who).

"The Queen!" Amy exclaimed
"That's what I said now is that all your bringing I don't think we'll be coming back here for a long time." Uncle Aldwin said or Al as I think I will refer to him as since that's what we call him most of the time.
"But... I don't understand how did the Palace even contact us."
"We were sent an Infobot, you can look at if you want its from a Palace servant called Jeremy, he knows our family connections with the Royal family and he claims the Queen has asked for our direct assistance."
"But aren't you worried this may be a trap." Amy asked.
"Look if I thought that this was going to be dangerous I wouldn't go but how would this man know about our connection's, besides who would want us dead?"
I don't really have an answer to that since we hardly left this shack and don't really know anyone so there was no-one who would behold a grudge against us.
"OK Alex I'll let you take the shotgun, Amy..."
"WOW really, your going to let me take the shotgun." Al had taught me how to use firearm's since I was 14 which was only a year ago but I'd caught on pretty quick. However Al had never let me use anything bigger than a pistol.
"Really your gonna let me use it?"
"Of course not you fool you'd blow all of our head's off. I will give you this pistol however but you must not use it unless where attacked by Grim's understand?"
I nodded, just being able to own a gun was so cool.
"Amy I'd feel better if you took one as well, I know I said this was safe but there 's always a small chance that the Grim's will attack."
"I'm sorry I just can't, I can defend I know how to fight." Amy said. She had a thing about gun's ever since she had saw Al use one she swore that she would never use one unless she absolutely had to.
"OK the plan is to get to the closet earth rail entrance which is in the middle of the old park, now we've done this countless time's before so there is nothing to worry about. Then we'll travel by rail to this point here."
He pointed to a map of the earth rail system, there was a red stop about three quarter's of the way down the rail.
"Then we'll be picked up by an airbus and brought to the New Palace. Any question's?"
He was treating this like an army operation, which I thought was quite amusing, Amy just looked worried as usual.
"Right, say goodbye to this old dump" He opened the door and inhaled.
"Ahh smell the sweet intoxicated air." Al said.
I stepped outside -which I don't do often- and inhaled which was clearly the wrong thing to do, I pinched my nose and gagged.
"God, that's horrible." I said.
"It's not that bad once you get used to it." Al said and began walking down the street. I looked at Amy, this was all happening so sudden and we weren't really sure what we where getting ourselves into, but what choice did we have.

Charity trustees must invest their organisation's funds to further its purpose. This means seeking the best return on their investments at an acceptable level of risk.
Ethical investment can play a part in this, and the Charity Commission agrees that ethical investments are an appropriate avenue for charities looking to invest their money.
As the Charity Finance Group puts it: "Trustees can accept the risk of a lower-than-best rate of return on their investments, and thus make ethical investments, if a particular investment conflicts with the aims of their charity, risks alienating their beneficiaries or donors, or won't result in significant financial detriment."
Ethical investments can also help charities to avoid embarrassment, such as that suffered by the Church of England when it was revealed that a small amount of its investments were in payday lenders despite the opposition of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A 2011 survey by the EIRIS Foundation and Holly Hill Trust found that 78% of the general public said that they would think better of a charity that had funds invested in socially and environmentally positive products and services.
Yet there is a debate about the balance between ethical and "normal" investment, and the best ethical investment vehicles.
This live discussion will consider:
• When charities should look at ethical investment
• What the benefits and potential drawbacks are
• How to strike a balance between ethical investment and other types
• What the best ethical investment vehicles are
Leave your comments and questions below, and join us on Thursday 17 October from 1-3pm to take part in the discussion.
To put yourself forward for the expert panel, contact Aimee Meade.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My daughter is 3 months old and her "father" lives with us. This guy is not paying her no mind at all. I have to keep telling him to spend time with her and he does it for about a few minutes, then he comes and tell me that he's either going outside or going to shower. When he goes outside, he doesn't come back for at least two damn hours! . When he says he's going to shower, he doesn't! The dude just lay on the couch and go on his phone! I've had it! My daughter doesn't deserve this kind of treatment at all. No matter the issues me and him going through( we don't talk. We just curse each other) He will soon be moving out. Now how would I go about cutting off all parental rights? As you can see he's neglecting her.
You can pay a lawyer a huge amount of money and it can be done. Next time choose more carefully who fathers your child because you'll pay lawyers more.Ask a similar question
You may not need to do anything. If you are unmarried, you have sole legal custody (major decision-making) unless and until he goes to court to seek shared legal. You have sole physical custody. Unless and until he goes to court to establish himself as the father, you can deny him visitation, and you can oppose it if he does seek visitation. To have him totally out of your life, however, you would be sacrificing child support. To get child support, you will have to go to court and establish him as the father and get an order of payment. Now, child support, visitation and custody are all separate things, so just because he pays support does not mean he gets custody or visitation. But he'll have the right to seek them. If he follows what he has been doing, it seems like he won't want any involvement. Bu think long and hard about your needs and your daughter's needs before agreeing to give up child support.
To questioners from West Virginia & New York: Although I am licensed to practice in your state (in WV, on inactive status as of 9/13), I practice on a day-to-day basis in Massachusetts. I answer questions in your state in areas of the law in which I practice, and in which I feel comfortable trying to offer you assistance based on my knowledge of specific statutes in your state and/or general principles applicable in all states. It is always best, however, to work with attorneys and court personnel in your own area to deal with specific problems and factual situations.Ask a similar question
While it is sad and neglectful, it is unlikely that the court will terminate his parental rights based on those facts alone. You should go to family court for an order of support and an order of custody. If he files for visitation in response, address your concerns about his lack of parenting skills to the court.

Project Description
First of all I'm looking for people who take the time to read my project, specifications and send in a non-automatic reply including the line 'no robot here'.
I'm looking for a mobile website (android/iphone/windows mobile/blackberry) on where the user can fill in a request to be called for a conversation about saving on energy costs. If the user can save on energy, he'll also receive €75,- cash additionally.
We do have a regular version of the website, it is available upon request, however the theme of the mobile version is a little different and should be: 'winner' implying the moods: unique/selected/special.
The website consist of 2 pages:
- welcome page, the user comes here from out of an sms message. the sms message is related to winning (unique/selected/special), therefor the theme should match this, however the message 'switch energy provider and save money' should be very clear. The following information should be captured:
+ current energy provider (dropdown)
+ zipcode (input)
+ housenumber (input)
When that information is filled-in the software will show a 'loading' (example: [url removed, login to view]) icon and congratulate the user with the fact that he can save money and will receive €75,-.
The user then has to fill in the following fields on the same page:
+ gender (drop-down: sir/madam)
+ lastname (input)
+ e-mail (input)
+ contact moment (radio button: default 'now' (between specific hours) else 'later' (dropdown with date/time options is shown))
After the user filled in the form, he can press a submit message and will go to the second page:
- confirmation page
Here the user will just see a text thanking him for his participation and informing him he will be contacted soon.
The work-flow we want to be followed is:
- mood-board (at least 3 good ones should be provided) (read: [url removed, login to view] or Google for visual examples)
- after mood-board approval: wire-frames are being made for both pages (read: [url removed, login to view])
- after wire-frame approval: mock-ups for the 2 pages are being made (PSD)
- after mock-up approval: PSD will be converted to HTML/jQuery
Kindly only message me and bid:
- with serious questions (not like 'I understood, I'm ready to go)
- when you're capable to follow the described work-way
- when you're sending a personal bid (I don't need an introduction)
- when you include a link/image to the best (only 1) mobile website you ever made
- with a planning for the deliver dates on the individual steps
I'm looking forward to start working!

B-Safe Security of Delaware Expands Account Base With Acquisition
Regional security provider picks up 415 more accounts.
By Rodney Bosch · May 2, 2014
WILMINGTON, Del. — B-Safe Security, a regional provider of security and fire alarms to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, completed a transaction to acquire Total Security of Newark, Del.
The deal brings B-Safe about 415 accounts that comprise a 70% residential, 30% commercial mix, along with about $8,000 in recurring monthly revenue. Total Security is owned and operated by Paul Ingrassia who will remain with B-Safe in a sales and service capacity. The Newark office, including two additional employees, will be folded into B-Safe's Wilmington facility.
B-Safe President Philip Gardner tells SSI the purchase of Total Security, which specializes in custom installed residential and commercial systems, will provide added depth to B-Safe's operations.
"Total Security was chosen based on the location in regards to our current territory, giving us additional strength where we already have offices and allowing us to expand our commitment to total customer satisfaction," he says. "[The company] had very low attrition with loyal customers."
Established in 1978, B-Safe is a Honeywell First Alert Professional dealer. The company maintains a customer base of about 10,000 accounts, providing integrated electronic security and life-safety solutions to businesses, government and homes.
