I really think I've lost it, I have too many fics going right now. Oh well. This'll be fun! Anyway, just so everyone knows, this is NOT a HieixYukina fic and it does not contain Hiei bashing. So don't leave a review saying "great fic but you should really make it HieixYukina." No, not gonna happen. I also don't want messages from rabid Hiei fan girls yelling at me for abusing and bashing their favorite character. The summary clearly says I'll be putting him through a little bit of torture, so if you don't like it don't read it. I understand that a lot of people feel the same way I do about Hiei's choice not to tell Yukina he is her brother: It was wrong. So I basically wrote this fic to show the consequences of never telling her. This may also turn KuramaBotan if I feel like it. This fic was also written for Erica. Yay!
It was a bright, sunny day, all wrong for the funeral of a hero. Yukina watched through tear filled eyes as Genkai's casket was lowered slowly into the earth. She had always known it was going to happen, but it was still a horrible shock to find out that Genkai had died of old age. It had seemed as though nothing could possible kill the women, elderly as she was. Yukina felt two tears fall down her face and turn to gems. "Hey Yukina! Don't cry!" Kuwabara said quickly as he rushed over to comfort her. Hiei put his hand on her shoulder. "Yes, don't cry." He said. Kuwabara gave him a glare.
"Back off, Shorty! She doesn't need your help she has me!" Kuwabara said casting a protective look at Yukina.
"Hn. And what kind of comfort could you possibly give her? I personally find your stupidity amusing, but a moment of amusement is no comfort when someone you loved has just died."
"It's really alright. I appreciate the help from both of you." Yukina said in order to stop their bickering. She personally got more comfort from Hiei, who was cold, but always willing to help her. He had even saved her from a falling rock after the Dark Tournament had ended. Perhaps Hiei was a better choice than Kazuma... Her thoughts were interrupted by Botan who came over to them and immediately hugged Yukina. She let go of her and then burst into a fit of tears.
"Oh I'm sorry, I just can't believe she's dead." Botan said once she had calmed down a little.
"it's alright Botan, it's hard on us all." Kurama gave her a sympathetic look and she rested her head on his shoulder as she cried some more. He put his hand on her back and let her cry.
A few hours later at Genkai's temple
"The temple is ours now. Genkai's will stated that she would like to have all of us own it and take care of it. We were free to do whatever we wanted with it, as long as we all agreed." Kurama said.
"Well, I wouldn't mind making this my home. It's nice here." Botan said.
"I'd live here too. My mom isn't really home much so I could stay here and visit her sometimes." Yusuke said casually.
"I guess I could come here on weekends and maybe for awhile after school." Keiko said thoughtfully.
"This would be a nice alternative to renting an apartment while I'm in college." Kurama decided.
"I'd just have to ask Shizuru, but she'd prolly be glad to get me out of the house." Kuwabara added.
"Kazuma I'm right here. And I plan on living here too so don't get your hopes up." Shizuru said with an annoyed face at her brother's obliviousness.
"I'd like to live here too since I don't really have a home since I ran away from the Ice aparitions." Yukina said in her quiet voice.
"What about you Hiei?" Kurama asked turning to the fire demon.
"Please Hiei, you should really live here. Everyone else is and it would be nice to have you around." Yukina pleaded. Even she looked shocked at her sudden outburst. Hiei's gaze softened a little as he looked at his twin. So she wanted him around. He almost regretted not telling her the truth. Almost.
"Fine. I'll visit here from time to time when I'm not working to protect the border dividing human world and demon world." Hiei said reluctantly. Yukina smiled. It would be nice to have him around. It always comforted her to know he was there. She wasn't sure why, but his presence was soothing to her, familiar even. She blinked in a confused way at her thoughts. Did she like him? Was this the feeling that Kazuma said he felt for her? Yes, it had to be.
"We should all head home and get our things then." Kurama said. Everyone agreed. Hiei and Yukina were the only two who stayed because they didn't have anything to bring. It was relatively silent while they were there alone, as neither of them were very talkative. Finally Hiei asked her,
"So is Kuwabara good to you?"
"Yes, he's very kind." Yukina told him.
"What do you see in him?" Hiei knew it was really none of his business, but he felt he had to ask her. She was his sister after all.
"What do you mean? He's a very kind person and a good friend." Yukina said simply.
"So you don't love him?"
"I don't think so, no."
"Hn." Hiei now had an amused smirk on his face. Now he didn't have to worry about the orange haired oaf doing anything to his sister. The door to the temple opened and Kurama appeared carrying two suitcases.
"Hello." He greeted them curtly before walking up the stairs to choose a room and get everything unpacked. Next came Keiko and Yusuke. "Hey guys!" They smiled and waved before they separated and went to choose their rooms. Botan flew in on her oar and then flew up the stairs to choose her room. Shizuru and Kazuma were the last to come back. Kuwabara had packed several suitcases full of just about everything he owned. Shizuru had packed a lot too, but she hadn't tried to stuff the tv and gaming systems into their own suitcases. They went up to their rooms as well. After a few minutes Botan came down the stairs.
"Party for the girls in my room, Yukina!" She grabbed Yukina by her wrist and led her up to her room. Keiko and Shizuru were already seated on Botan's pink bed. "Alright ladies let's break out the junk food and sodas now!" Botan exclaimed happily as she pulled out two bags of chips and four sodas from thin air. The girls drank their sodas and began discussing their new life living in the temple as they crunched chips during silences. Kurama came in about an hour later and told them that they would be having dinner in roughly about twenty minutes. The girls thanked him for informing them and went back to their discussion, which was currently boys.
"I think Kurama's really cute!" Botan admitted with a slight blush.
"He is. But obviously Yusuke is my first choice." Keiko added.
"I'm a little old to be judging such young boys but if I had to pick one I would say Kurama." Shizuru admitted. "What about you, Yukina?"
"Well, umm..."
"It's ok! It doesn't have to be serious this is just all in good fun!" Botan said cheerfully.
"I sort of do like someone though. I'm not sure exactly. It's difficult." Yukina said after a moment of thought.
"OOOOOH Yukina's got a crush!" Botan teased. Yukina blushed.
"It's okay Yukina, who is it?" Keiko asked.
"It's a secret."
"So it's someone in this house though right?" Shizuru inquired.
"Well we'll be glad to tell you how to win him over!" Botan said brightly. She was sure that the three of them knew Kuwabara well enough to be able to tell Yukina how to win him over, although that wouldn't take much work.
"Yeah it'd be fun!" Keiko agreed.
"If you want to win him over quickly and have him fall in love with your personality later there are just a few steps you have to take." Shizuru stated. And that was how poor Hiei's trouble began.

I've lived and worked with dogs for over 40 years. Our family currently share our home with three whippets, Moth, Lily and Maggie and our little Muggle dog, Archie. Archie is a jack-russell/collie/whippet who was meant to be a whippet when he came to us at 5 months. The more he grew, the more he turned into anything but a whippet … He has helped us all understand what it is to live with a teenage boy – the chaos, noise, (smells) and moods!
We have shared our home with over 35 dogs in the last 20 odd years. Some of our fosters have stayed less than a week before finding their forever home, some have lived with us for over 15 years. We've lived with blind, deaf, disabled dogs and dogs who have had every behaviour problem imaginable. Slowly, over the years, I have developed the Thinking-Dog method, by studying the dogs we've lived with and working with clients' dogs.
I started my childhood with Golden Retrievers and Springer spaniels, but once we'd discovered whippets, we knew we would always have one in our lives. And now we have 3 and the muggle-whippet!
In November 2012, we fostered Betty, a staffie who had been dumped in South Lincolnshire. We were soon smitten by her, and she has found her home with us. Through her, we have become involved with Safe and Sound, a charity who work to get dogs out of pound kennels and into rescue. In September of 2013, Betty and I were delighted to be asked to be patrons of Safe and Sound.
The most recent addition to the Happy Paws Den was Finn, a spaniel x terrier x collie. He's taught us all a lot about life with a terrier – the fun, persistence and hard work that can be needed to integrate a fizzy dog into a calm household. In just a few months, he's gone from excitable teen to working with us as a Buddy Dog with dogs who have issues.
I am fully insured to work with dogs both in a home setting, and as a provider of training classes. I am a full member of the Pet Professional Guild.
I abide by the ethics of behaviour work promoted by the Pet Professional Guild. All my training is force-free, pain-free and fear-free.

An empty DC-10 jetliner at O`Hare International Airport was destroyed by fire Sunday morning shortly after a cleaning crew saw smoke and flames in the cabin and escaped from the aircraft, authorities said.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire before it could spread to a nearby Mexicana Airlines Boeing 727 jetliner and an airport fueling truck. One firefighter was injured.

The average wedding cost in the United States is at $26,000. This is already high and you'll be glad to know that you can lower such costs with the right strategy. Here are some ways to save money on your wedding expenses:
Find a business offering tent rentals.
The reception doesn't always have to be indoors. In fact, having the wedding reception outside is even more gorgeous, especially when you are already in a scenic place. As an alternative, having a Clearspan tent rental for the wedding and reception will get you to experience the beautiful outdoors while being protected from the worst of the heat.
Hold the wedding during off-season.
Yes, you can save money by thinking well about the schedule of the wedding. You can think of this in two prongs — the off-season of weddings in general and the off-season of the venue you are trying to book. If you are thinking about holding the wedding in a venue that's often used for other events, researching about its peak months is important. Wedding venues are also less costly in the winter and fall months.
Go the minimalist route.
Minimalist designs have revolutionized everything recently, and it can also save you a lot of bucks for your own wedding. You can employ this, for example, in the bouquets that will be used by the bridesmaids.
Recycle things from the ceremony to the reception.
Never be afraid to repurpose and reuse some materials in the process of transitioning from the wedding ceremony to the reception. For example, the flowers that were used in the wedding can be used as centerpieces for the tables once the reception starts. You can also save by not ordering many chairs. Instead, move the ceremony chairs to the reception area.
At the end of the day, your wedding doesn't always have to mean big expenses. All it takes is creativity and willingness to deviate from convention and you will have a memorable wedding without a huge hole in your pocket.

This month's HOT Magazine cover is graced by Ms. Chutima Durongdej. Khun Chutima represented Thailand at the Miss Universe Contest held in Nassau Bahamas in 2009 where she won "Most Photogenic" and was second runner-up in the "Best National Costume."
Khun Chutima is also a second-generation member of the Durongdej family which founded Mazuma (Thailand) more than 20 years ago. Khun Chutima has now joined the company which is benefiting from her rich media and entertainment experience in supporting her family firm.
HOT Magazine recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Khun Chutima, whose nickname is "Kai Mook," to discuss the business side of her business life.
HOT: Khun Chutima, what is your aspiration in continuing the family business and what is your ultimate ambition for the business to be in the future?
K.Chutima: Prior to Mazuma, I worked in the entertainment sector as a TV host and Miss Thailand Universe. I am now looking after the corporate communication aspect of the company. This position allows me to use the people and presentation skills I developed from my entertainment work as well as my love for science and technology.
To be able to expand my father's business and to improve its positioning is the pride and joy for me and my 4 siblings. Also, to be able to offer Thai people a quality and sturdy product, producing the best water suited for their needs and budget is extremely fulfilling for myself and Mazuma's management team.
The ultimate ambition for the business in the future, apart from becoming the number one manufacturer in the water treatment sector in and outside of Thailand, is that Mazuma would be able to provide the best innovative water solutions for every industry and every household. As my dad often said, "the key to our successful business is not in the profit, but it is in the quality of our products that we are offering to our consumers".
HOT: How many markets are your products currently available in and do you have any plans to export overseas in the near future?
K.Chutima: Mazuma started with a small range of products which now has expanded to cover the low to high-end market. Our products are used in every industry sector; manufacturing, catering, hotels, hospitals and households to name a few. Our products are available via modern trade, Home Pro, Home Work, Tesco Lotus, Big C, The Mall, The Central group and more than 500 distributors in Thailand.
Our regional 2 to 3 year plan is to increase and expand our direct sale distribution channel as well as paying more attention to the main cities outside Bangkok throughout Thailand.
In terms of the International Market, Mazuma has been selling and exporting into South East Asia (Vietnam Laos Burma Indonesia and Philippines) since the first generation of Mazuma management. Our sales and exports are at a very satisfactory level at present. For the next three to five years we forecast that exports will increase when Thailand enters AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) and the laws and agreements within the spectrum become stable.
HOT: Do you have an expansion plan for the company in the area of manufacturing facilities, both in Thailand and beyond?
K.Chutima: Currently Mazuma has an annual production capacity of 120,000 units. Those units are divided into 7 categories under the 'Mazuma' brand which are; small strainers, big strainers, water heaters, warm water heaters, drinking water vending machines, pumps and filters.
Due to our positive continued growth each year, despite the economy, we definitely need to expand our manufacturing facilities in the future. For the time being though, by focusing on improving our manufacturing processes, we have been able to maximize the efficiency rate of our production to serve our current needs. We are presently planning both joint venture and partnerships with potential investors in many neighboring countries. As of now though, we are keeping the details confidential until the contracts are signed.
HOT: What is your three to five-year plan to increase your business performance and what will be your key strategies to achieve those goals?
K.Chutima: We forecast Mazuma will stay strong for the next 20 years as we continue to cover innovations in water treatment technology's from around the world as well as continuously paying attention and caring for all of our customers. This has been our unique position and strategy for over 2 decades.
Currently, Mazuma's position in Thailand in the water filter segment is in the top 3 and we are one of the top 5 brands for water heaters. Our market value in the water heater category is 4.8 billion baht and it's 2.3 billion baht for the water dispenser category. In 2017 we forecast our closing revenue to be at 750 million baht with a 20% growth in revenue in 2018.
Apart from continuously scouting for the latest and most prominent water treatment technologies and innovations (in terms of water filter, water heater, water dispenser, industrial water treatment systems, fresh water converters and waste water management systems) from the innovative countries (such as UK, US, EU, Japan and Korea), and improving our production efficiency, we are also focusing more on the product design. We would like the total look of our water filters, heaters and dispensers to be more stylish and sophisticated.
In addition to improving our product design and branding to boost sales, we will also increase our online marketing as well as increase our distribution channels in Thailand and neighboring countries to increase sales.
HOT: How do you balance the proportion of management between family members and business professionals? Is your company still family run or are you moving it more towards outside professionals? Also, do you plan to list Mazuma on the local stock exchange?
K.Chutima: Mazuma Thailand was established in 1993 by my father Mr. Rittichai Durongdej, Chairman & Founder who developed the business and kept it growing for more than 20 years. In 2011, Mazuma entered its 2nd decade with new 2nd generation family management. With new and old experience combined, the company has achieved efficiencies in operations, expanded sales channels, developed new products and modernized product designs while still focusing on after-sales service, marketing and communications. We are however working towards being listed in MAI so we are currently undergoing rebranding and restructuring the whole company towards that end.
HOT: Thank you Khun Chutima for taking the time to chat with us.

You'll find the answers to our most frequently asked questions on house cleaning service and maids.
What makes Canada Maids Network Ltd. different?
We simply use strict hiring procedures and quality control standards. Our team is reliable, honest and trustworthy. We go through large filtering processes to find the right people to send into your home. After that, we ask ourselves if we would trust our staff to come into our homes. We also never use independent subcontractors to do our work.
All of our employees have been screened and have had criminal record checks performed before they start working on our team.
We like to clean your complete home every time we visit you. Many services will only clean parts of you home per visit, where as we like to do a complete and thorough job.
We are insured and our maids are bonded, which helps protect our customers if an accident or injury happens on your property. We are very proud of our people and proud of what we do, and it shows in the house cleaning you'll receive.
We compete on a level that is definitely competitive for what you are paying. We want our customers to feel like they are getting much more than they paid for. We will fold and iron your laundry, do your dishes, wash your walls, steam clean your carpets, and even detail your appliances if you so request. We simply give you a general check list of completed tasks every time we leave your home, and maids are not allowed to off a point unless it is completed to the highest standard.
Do you guarantee your work?
We do guarantee our cleanings. If something is missed or not done properly, that was able to get done within the booked time frame, we do come back to finish the job. Simply call us the within 24 hours of the cleaning to schedule a re-visit at no charge to you.
For all new clients, we ask that they keep in mind that our fist time visit to their place will be a testing ground for how many hours they need to book for our repeat visits. For a first time visit we estimate a time over the phone with the client, and within that time we will complete our general checklist to the best that our maids can within the time booked.
Our customers do have to trust our judgment if we say more they need more time. And don't worry; we will not try to up sell you, for the simple fact that we can move on to another cleaning as soon as yours is done. So, it is in our benefit that the cleaning is done in an efficient mount of time.
Are the maids trustworthy?
Our maids all have criminal background checks, and are bonded and insured. We will only send maids to your house, that we would trust in ours. We only send screened and reliable maids to your home.
What makes you more expensive than a private maid?
Our rates are competitive with most other high quality cleaning companies. Our rates are usually higher than a private maid for the simple fact that we always travel with our own liquid cleaning supplies and our maids are uniformed, bonded and insured.
Are employees bonded?
Canada Maids Network Ltd. Is an insured and Bonded company with Wawanesa Insurance for your protection.
A bond is insurance that compensates you in case a CMN employee is guilty of theft.
Are employees insured?
Canada Maids Network Ltd. carries liability insurance with Wawanesa Insurance.
How do your rates work?
We are very competitive based on the level of service that you receive. We have a 2 maids for 1 hour minimum for any cleaning that we go to. After that, you are charged per every half hour that we are in your home until the job is completed. For our first clean we give you an estimate based on your square footage, and the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and your general feedback about your home ect.
Discounted rates are available for customers who book 4 cleanings or more with us.
Are there contracts?
We only require multiple cleaning contracts if you are wanting a discounted volume rate. Please keep in mind that our services are guaranteed, and we will come back to finish a job if something was missed. So you can be assured safety in your contract. Please keep in mind if many things were missed, you may have to book more time for our next visit.
Do you bring in all supplies?
In some cities we bring in all the supplies, and in larger ones we tend not to. Simply because there is no parking available in the larger cities, and we can only bring the liquid supplies, unless specifically requested otherwise, at which point there would be a minimal charge for a driver. However, in many cities we do bring in all supplies where we can, as to make it much easier for our customers. Please call your cities office to find out all details.
Do the same maids visit my home every time?
We always try our best to send out a team of maids to each cleaning. Sometimes we may only have one maid coming to your home due to an illness or tough scheduling. We do, however, always try our best to keep the same person coming back since they are familiar with your home and your needs. We can even try to switch teams at your request, as you may find out that another team was more accurate with what you wanted done in your home.
Do I have to be home when the maids come in?
Many people like to leave their keys with the maids in a safe spot around the home, or even leave a key with us at our head offices. Some people prefer to be home during a cleaning. We do prefer someone to be home for the first clean so they can show us what exactly they needed done and they can see first hand that we do work hard within the time allotted, so that if we do need to book more time there is no misunderstandings.
Keys that are left with us are coded, locked up and cross referenced.
Why does the one-time cleaning or first cleaning take longer than the following ones?
The first time we visit your home, we like to do a more detailed general clean; an initial scrub down, so that the following cleanings are a simple maintenance clean.
For first time visits, so allow 1-2 hours longer than the following visits. This is a normal procedure, as a house with a lot of buildup will take longer to clean than one that is cleaned often.
How do I prepare, I have never used a maid service before?
We usually bring a checklist to our cleanings. We can either follow our checklist, or simply follow a list that you have left out for us in priority sequence. We will need you to let us know your specific needs over the phone, so that we can make sure we have a good idea of what you want. Then let us know of any special circumstances such as pets that may be home, extra pet hair, smoking or non-smoking, key instructions, or any other specifics about your home.
Please keep in mind we do have to tidy up your place before we begin to clean your home. This means that we have to remove clothing, papers etcetera from the floor, do the dishes, put away clothing and other clutter. This is our main time killer, as we cannot begin cleaning until all mess is tidied up. It takes quite a bit of time to pick up, move and even clean these items before we start cleaning the home.
We don't mind tidying up, as we are getting paid to be there, however your cost will be lower if you tidy up a little before the clean. Sometimes all a person wants us to do with our time is tidy up, and not so much make their kitchen sparkle. It's really a matter of preference, so please let us know your preference.
How many days a week do you work?
We work Monday through Saturday, although our Saturday rates are slightly higher.
What are your arrival times?
We call customers once the maids are dispatched to their place to make sure that we can get into their home, unless prior arrangements were made. Our teams of maids each have about 4-6 cleanings per day, so we try to be accurate with customers, however we do have to leave a general window, as we may get hung up at a previous job due to inaccurate bookings of times, or dirtier than usually homes.
We like to leave our customers with either a morning or afternoon arrival slot.
We make every effort to arrive on time, but some things are out of our control. We ask that you understand this if we are running behind. If you have an important timing issue we will do our best to try to accommodate it.
How many maids do you send to my home?
We like to send 2 maids to a cleaning. The odd time it may be only one person or even up to three people if we are having scheduling difficulties for that time. But in general, we try to send two maids.
How do you accept payment?
Payment is due at the time of booking. Bookings are held by a valid credit card number. Since we are busy, we only book in customers who leave a credit card number with us, as this prevents us from running into situations where people cancel on the same day of the cleaning, thus causing our schedule to get out of order. Customers will be charged 50% of their cleaning up to a maximum of $200 if there is a cancellation for any cleaning, unless our office is given 24 hours notice. If we arrive at a client's home who promised to be home, and no one is there, the same amount is charged to the credit card.
We accept payment in cash, Visa, MasterCard and Amex. Full payment is due at the time of arrival before the maids start working.
What if something breaks?
We are insured in case of an unfortunate accident. Please let us know if there is anything specific that we should take extra care around or notify us of any special circumstances before we come into your home.
What if I forget about the cleaning?
We call our clients as our maids get dispatched to you home. If our maids are dispatched, and can't get in to your home, you will be billed for 50% of your cleaning up to a maximum of $200. This is a minimal fee that is in place to cover the cost of our transportation, and our employee wages as they travel to and from your home.
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes we offer gift certificates, and we do sell many of them, as they can be a great gift. Gift certificates are valid for one year from the date of purchase.

New Pond Village is beautiful and reasonably priced with excellent, restaurant-like food that was not institutional at all. The staff is knowledgeable. They have movies, exercise classes, and transportation. They bring animals and singers in and have all kinds of activities. I would recommend it.

We looked at New Pond Village. The staff working there were very cordial and very intelligent. They seemed to know what they were doing. We had dinner there. Food was very well handled, and it was a good menu. It was very nice. We visited a two-bedroom apartment and a one-bedroom apartment. The two-bedroom apartment had a larger bathroom than the one-bedroom, but they're both very adequate.

I visited this facility
The staff was extremely friendly. I saw them interacting with the residents at the cookout and everyone was laughing and having a great time. The staff also got along with each other. There didn't seem to be any infighting and it appreaerd that the staff really enjoyed their jobs. The food was very good too. My friend's grandmother talked about all of the extra things that are available for them like themed dinning nights and visits from baby animals. The grounds were very nice. There was a garden near the enterance where residence could do their gardening and get some fresh air. There was also a path through the woods that lead to a pond (I'm assuming it was New Pond. Hence the name of the facility) that had a bench to sit on so you could look out on the water. It was buggy but very nice. The buildings themselves seemed to be well maintained. My friend's grandmother was in good spirits and really enjoying herself. Overall it was a great visit to a great facility.

Peninsula Homes specialise in building homes on Sydney's Northern Beaches. No one style of home can fit all blocks of land. Peninsula Homes custom design each home to work in harmony with the positive and negative aspects of the land.

Everything you ever wanted can be incorporated into your design. Talk to Peninsula Homes and see how your block of land can benefit from something that's built to work in harmony with the surrounds.
For many people, there is simply not enough hours in the day. So, when it comes to considering a builder, many people think a project home builder is the only way to go. Not true! Peninsula Homes are specialist project management builders and can manage your project all the way from design stage, council, construction to completion. It's that simple. Even if you have your own plans, we can still build your dream home.

In a recent decision about an appeal from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) left no question it views sexual orientation discrimination as falling within the protections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC stated its intent to treat all sexual orientation discrimination as sex discrimination, actionable under Title VII.
What's going on with the new overtime rule?

Teachers and other school employees are not allowed to collect unemployment benefits during holidays, spring break, fall break, or summer vacation, because everyone knows that such breaks are an ordinary part of their seasonal work. But what about employees of a private staffing agency who work alongside school employees on a daily basis? Do they get to collect unemployment even though everyone they work with does not?
June brings controversial Supreme Court decisions—and potential for creating a hostile work environment
June is upon us, and with June comes controversial U.S. Supreme Court decisions. This year, that will include a decision on same-sex marriage. At this time of year, it's always good to prepare your managers for dealing with coffee-break conversations about these controversial employment-related topics. If they become heated, such conversations can cause hurt feelings. Although those hurt feelings are no big deal from an employment perspective, hostile-work-environment allegations can start with a few words about the latest decision. Employers should be careful to monitor such discussions—especially the ones having to do with rights of same-sex couples or transgender employees.
Last month, Lanier Ford attorney Lauren Smith wrote about the EEOC's federal-sector decisions involving application of the anti-discrimination protections of Title VII to transgender employees. The blog post noted that the federal-sector decision was not binding on private employers, but nonetheless gives important insight into the EEOC's position on this issue.

we went there with our group after a Rocky start with Sunwing...over 10 hours delay with kids and elderly parents.
Dreams Villamagna made us forget it all.
We were planning to get maried on the beach and everything exceeded our expectations. The wedding planner ( Daniel Meza)did a wonderfull Job with every detail. We had purchased the ultimate wedding package but still needed to purchase a few extras. The fireworks made it all even more special. The photographer Brenda did a very good job. Still waiting for the video...
Restaurants were good especially the Italian.( Portofino)
We had stayed in the preferred section and it was so worth it . Every little attention we could have thiked of was made to make us feel ike royalty. The Conciere Janet was out of this world.
The beach was nice and even though we had kids and older persons in our group we all enjoyed swimming and taking long walks on the beach( this was not the case for our honeymoon at the Secret Vallarta-look for my review)
Rooms were well decorated , very clean , wonderful turndown service with great views of the ocean. we slept so peacefuly with the sound of the waves because the patio door are screened. Great!
It's a calm resort. Enough to keep you entertained but very relaxing.
There's so many things we liked at this resort that we would certainly return one day!

Beautiful addition to any room.
I needed a larger storage piece for my piano music, and this bench fits the bill and then some. The lid closes very gently; it's easy to move about for extra seating elsewhere. The tufted stitching looks secure -- it is well-constructed.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The product color was true as shown on the site
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The storage bench is top quality. It is beautiful, tufted leather; the bench has weight and is comfortable for seating.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The site description was very accurate. Other reviewers helped me make the decision.

Cleaning up Clarington
Our first cleanup at Courtice Road beach was a lot of fun! We had some great volunteers join us and found a lot of stuff! It was a beautiful place but could really use a municipal garbage can somewhere. It seems as though someone was doing some target practice as we found lots of shotgun shells. We found lots of other weird things like night cream and a chicken recipe. People are doing some weird things down at the beach. We also stopped in at Darlington Provincial Park for a quick cleanup. We found a lot of small things here and decided to make a bit of artwork. It may not be the best piece of work you've ever seen but it was nice to spend some time enjoying the waves, watching the birds, and stretching out in the sun.

One of the things we've wanted to know most about Sony's PlayStation Portable successor, the Next Generation Portable (NGP), is its price. Sony have been tight-lipped about it ever since launch but we've finally gotten our hands on figures of some sort, regardless of how legit they are.
The 3G SKU will cost a pretty penny
According to Kotaku, a recently conducted survey sponsored by Ubisoft said "the retail price of the Sony NGP is expected to be $350" and went on to ask, "How likely would you be to purchase the Sony NGP now that you know this retail price?" That's for the 3G SKU though, and the survey goes on to mention the WiFi only version will be priced considerably lower at $250.
Of course, this was found on a survey conducted by a third party and not Sony themselves, so the chances of this being complete hogwash is pretty high. Even so, it's the first and most official thing we've heard about the price, and Ubisoft sound pretty confident in the survey, so it has to hold some weight.

An unknown couple has posted images of their unique engagement ring on the popular site, Reddit. Instead of the classic diamond, these two opted for something a little out of the ordinary. At DCLA Diamond Exchange, we're all about finding the perfect engagement for each unique couple. Sometimes that'll mean an enormous diamond set in platinum, sometimes that'll mean a simple vintage-style emerald cut, and sometimes, it means something completely different.
At first glance, the ring looks as if it's a rough silver band. However, when you look closer, you see that there are photo slides delicately wrought within the silver. If you hold the ring up to the light, you can see beautiful images from the couple's time together. Neat, right?
A ring like this is certainly indicative of a very happy and very individualistic couple. Since this design isn't usually available on the market, they would have had to have it specially created by a silversmith. Bespoke designs are becoming more and more popular for today's couples as no one wants to be part of the crowd. Finding a design that really represents who you are as a couple is also becoming easier than ever as the industry gets on board.
For your own bespoke design, you can check out our diamonds here.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a troubling and dangerous complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation with little prospect of a simple solution. The frequency of chronic GVHD over the last 12 years has increased. Data from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center indicate that in 1990, chronic GVHD incidence was about 40%; currently, the incidence is 65–80%.1, 2 This increase can be attributed to a greater number of patients surviving transplant, and to older patients being transplanted with unrelated or alternative donor grafts.2 Even though chronic GVHD may promote graft-versus-leukemia effects, large observational studies have shown that chronic GVHD is still the leading cause of nonrelapse death 2 years after transplantation.3 Patient selection plays an important role in the outcome of chronic GVHD treatment trials,4 as demonstrated by widely varying response rates to prednisone, cyclosporine, azathioprine, or combination regimens.5, 6
Chronic GVHD has been attributed to T-lymphocyte activation and overexpansion of autoreactive subsets, or both. Data from a large randomized trial in about 400 patients who received unrelated donor transplantation with either T-cell-depleted or unmodified grafts showed similar risks of chronic GVHD and nearly 20% chronic GVHD-related mortality (Pavletic SZ et al. Blood 2003; 102: 154a; abstract). This incidence is similar to that for sibling donor transplants.7, 8, 9 Only about 50% of those who developed chronic GHVD in this trial were alive at 3–4 years following the transplant. In general, neither unmodified grafts nor T-cell depletion alter the incidence of chronic GVHD or improve overall survival.
Preventing chronic GVHD
Treatment regimens intended to prevent chronic GVHD have included early administration of high- or low-dose cyclosporine and trials to determine the optimum duration of therapy. Extended cyclosporine therapy (24 months) was compared to a conventional 6-month course (n=162),10 and 6 months to 60 days of cyclosporine therapy in patients with no active acute GVHD (n=103).11 Extended therapy yielded no difference in outcomes.10, 11 Randomized trials have also evaluated cyclosporine and methotrexate with or without thalidomide and showed no difference in the resolution of chronic GVHD.12, 13, 14 The addition of thalidomide to cyclosporine was hypothesized to pre-emptively treat chronic GVHD, but in fact it was associated with more acute GVHD and worse survival. In two randomized trials of intravenous (i.v.) immunoglobulin, one vs placebo (n=250) and one comparing several different dose levels that had been reportedly associated with reduced GVHD (n=627),15 there was no difference in the incidence of chronic GVHD. Even though patients who develop chronic GVHD may have a lower risk of relapse, particularly those with mild-to-moderate disease, chronic GVHD substantially increases treatment-related mortality and regularly worsens disease-free survival.16 There are no specific effective interventions at this time to prevent chronic GVHD.
Treating chronic GVHD
A major long-term morbidity of chronic GVHD is the ongoing need for prednisone or other immunosuppressive agents. One strategy is to control symptoms early, and then slowly taper patients off the immunosuppressants. In a study of 159 patients at the University of Minnesota, bolus steroid induction therapy was administered for 8 weeks followed by alternate day prednisone 0.5 mg/kg and cyclosporine. Patients were followed for a median of 8 (range 1–13) years. Of those who responded, about 2/3 did so in the first 6 months, with over 50% still responding at a year. GVHD flares occurred primarily within the first year (Table 1).17 Although conventional steroids and cyclosporine can control chronic GVHD, additional continued immunosuppression is often needed. However, it is unclear that more intense immunosuppression will be more effective. Conventional predictors of favorable chronic GHVD (platelets >100 000/l, age <20 years, and the absence of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement) each independently indicate a greater likelihood of a good response to initial therapy. In patients with de novo chronic GVHD or quiescent chronic GVHD (whose acute disease had resolved), favorable responses were also seen, resulting in improved long-term survival. In all, 50% survive 10–15 years later.17
Table 1 - Frequency of response with bolus steroid induction therapy (methylprednisolone i.v. 15 mg/kg/week 8 weeks, +prednisone 0.5 mg/kg qod) and cyclosporine.Full table
A scoring system for chronic GVHD-specific survival was developed based on the high-risk features of the extent (>50%) of skin involvement, progressive onset of chronic GVHD, and a low platelet count.2, 18 Those who had low-risk disease but still needed systemic therapy had 80% survival at 10 years, whereas those with higher risk features had only 40–50% survival at 10 years. A third of patients resolved their chronic GVHD in the first 6 months, but more than a third still had active disease beyond 2 years. At 4 years, nearly 70% of those with high-risk chronic GVHD were still being treated with immunosuppression vs only 30% of those with standard-risk disease.2
Another study examined nonrelapse mortality and survival in long-term follow-up of patients enrolled in a randomized trial comparing prednisone with or without cyclosporine for managing standard- or low-risk chronic GVHD (platelet counts >100 000/l).19 The authors concluded that although the addition of cyclosporine may reduce steroid-related toxicity, treatment-related mortality showed little difference over 10 years. A slight, but not statistically significant improvement in treatment-related mortality with combination therapy was observed. There was no disease-free survival improvement with combination therapy.19 In all, 28% died while still receiving immunosuppression. Cumulative incidence of recurrent malignancy at 5 years was 39% in the cyclosporine plus prednisone arm compared with 37% in the prednisone alone arm. Survival without recurrent malignancy at 5 years was 61% in the cyclosporine plus prednisone arm compared with 71% in the prednisone arm. A statistically significant higher composite risk for transplantation-related mortality or recurrent malignancy in the cyclosporine plus prednisone arm resulted in a lower probability of survival in remission. Thus, there was no net advantage for combination chemotherapy. Standard therapy can produce control of GVHD for 50 or 60% of patients in 2–3 years, but the burden of ongoing immunosuppression is substantial.19
Newer therapies for chronic GVHD
Small pilot studies have suggested several new drugs as effective in managing chronic GVHD. Sirolimus plus tacrolimus was tested in a phase II study of 29 steroid-refractory patients at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Patients received sirolimus (6 mg loading dose) with maintenance at 2 mg/day (levels 7–12 ng/ml) plus tacrolimus (levels 7–12 ng/ml). The overall response rates were 68% (18/29), with five complete responses and 13 partial responses. Response rates in the skin, mouth, eye, and GI tract were similar. Of 24 patients with skin GVHD, 8/24 (30%) had scleroderma and six (75%) responded to treatment. In patients with visceral involvement, responses were less frequent. None with lower GI tract GVHD responded.
Another sirolimus trial included 19 patients.20 In all, 15 of 16 responded, five stopped due HUS or nephrotoxicity, and most others flared. The trial closed early.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is another new therapy. A retrospective study of ECP was conducted in 32 patients who were beyond day 100 with steroid-dependent or steroid-refractory cutaneous chronic GVHD.21 The study was limited to those receiving ECP for 4 weeks or more. These patients had extensive chronic GVHD and were treated an average of 36 sessions over 5 months. The total response rate was about 50%. Of seven with complete response, 5/7 had continuing complete response. Of 28 patients on systemic corticosteroid therapy at the start of ECP, 18 achieved 50% dose reduction, yielding a 64% steroid-sparing response rate. In total, 11 (34%) patients died due to visceral chronic GVHD or chronic GVHD-related infectious complications after ECP, and 66% of the patients survive, although all require continuing immunosuppression. Another report showed that ECP recipients had skin softening and improvement in liver function enzymes early in the treatment.22 ECP is a cumbersome intervention offering similar response rates, but has some steroid-sparing potential. However, chronic GVHD-related morbidity and mortality remain high and most patients continue to require immunosuppressive therapy.
Another treatment alternative, a combination of tacrolimus plus steroids, was studied in 104 patients and suggested no major advantage to the combination.23 These patients had a 70% response rate with 79% in the skin and 76% in the mouth, but much lower response rate in visceral disease: 41% in the GI tract and 29% in the liver. The mortality rate was 48% and chronic GVHD-specific mortality was 34%.
Other alternative agents have been used with variable outcome. The response rates for various agents are shown in Table 2. The studies were all conducted in different types of patients over varying time periods, but all patients had chronic GVHD. In most studies, the overall response rates were under 50%, suggesting only limited efficacy. For example, tacrolimus given to 86 patients in several small studies had an overall response rate of 34%. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might be a potentially promising drug because the cumulative response from two studies is 73%, and it has only limited toxicity.24, 25 However, tacrolimus with MMF as salvage therapy produced a lower response of approximately 38%.26 Prospective multicenter testing of prednisone plus or minus MMF is underway.
Thalidomide is a widely studied agent, including its use as secondary therapy for chronic GVHD,12, 27 with an overall response nearly 40% (Table 2). Two randomized trials used thalidomide for initial management of chronic GVHD. Neither study showed any response or survival advantage for thalidomide.28
Hydroxychloroquine has shown nearly 50% responses in a small number of patients and is being tested in an ongoing randomized trial.29 Two other drugs, clofazimine and etretinate, yield promising partial responses and might be worthy of more study.30, 31 PUVA and ECP therapy only favorably affect skin disease, and both have variable responses.32
New agents reported in only a few patients include etanercept, infliximab, daclizumab, and rituximab. Etanercept showed 70% response in 10 patients,33 infliximab had over 50% response rate,34 and daclizumab showed a response in 3/4 patients.35 Of note, a recently completed trial in acute GVHD showed a survival disadvantage with daclizumab, a finding that suggests caution in its future use.36 Rituximab has been tried in three small studies; one included eight patients with some manifestations of chronic GVHD that resolved simultaneously (Cutler C et al. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2005; 11: 10; abstract).37, 38
From these various studies, it is apparent that the key to improving management of chronic GVHD remains elusive. Heterogeneity of patients and disease manifestations and even uncertainty in diagnosis of chronic GVHD confound all these studies. At one referral center, 15–20% of the patients referred for management of chronic GVHD were found to have no signs of the disease.39 Treating physicians are inconsistent in recognizing the protean manifestations of this syndrome. If patients with varying symptoms are included in heterogeneous pilot studies, interpretation of their findings may be misleading. Future studies of chronic GVHD need carefully defined eligibility, consistent therapy, and clearly defined response criteria. At present, there are two prospective randomized trials underway for treatment of chronic GVHD. One is a multicenter trial for standard-risk patients comparing prednisone and cyclosporine with or without MMF. The Children's Oncology Group is comparing the addition of hydroxychloroquine to initial therapy of chronic GVHD. The outcome from these two trials will be important in offering prospective and clear data, even if the either agent is not a big advance.
An essential component of chronic GVHD medical management is ongoing supportive care over the whole length of therapy. This must include infection prophylaxis, hydration, nutrition, and careful follow-up. New strategies for abatement of chronic GVHD are essential, but more critical are new ideas to manage the immune deficiency associated with chronic GVHD, discipline in designing and executing studies, clinical caution in interpreting the outcomes, and new support systems to help patients bear the ongoing burdens accompanying this lengthy chronic illness.

I just love tmobile as it supports our unlocked iphones...BUt I dont want to have an unlocked iphone I dont want to be careful I dont upgrade my iphone I want you tmobile I want you to gain control of apple and tell them " fool cant you see you old man that the public needs us together now gime that iphone so I can whipe that grin of yo face" all I want is Tmoble + apple is that too much to ask?????? Who said life was fair
I would think there is almost zero chance of T-Mobile getting the iPhone in the USA as they would have to make a complete new model just for them. While there are antennae that support the weird frequencies AT&T use as well as those of the rest of the world, I do not believe there are any that support T-Mobile USAs even weirder frequencies.
He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.

Welcome to this Tinyletter from @gavreads. This posting contains my bookish review since the last letter and sometimes my thoughts on books and reading.
Firstly, a question: How long to does it take you to read a book?
I'm not the quickest reader. I don't tend to get blocks of uninterrupted time to read so I'm always snatching pages and chapters rather taking making chunks out headway into books. Though the speed I get through books does mean I seem to have a growing TBR rather than a shrinking one. I do worry that I'm too slow.
So, I asked on Twitter to see what they thought:
How many days on average does it take you to read a book? Not speed reading just in between daily life?
— EuroGav Reads (@gavreads) 14 March 2017
The replies were reassuring:
@gavreads one week. Ish.
— Rob Boffard (@robboffard) 14 March 2017
And I especially liked this one:
@gavreads About 2 weeks. I'm such a slow reader.
— John Chapman (@jsatellite) 14 March 2017
And I'm glad 'days' seemed a shocking concept:
@gavreads Days? Usually a week.
— Sue G (@suzi187) 14 March 2017
But a couple of them were like this:
@gavreads I average one every other day
— Paul Cheney (@halfmanhalfb00k) 14 March 2017
And I don't know if I'm impressed or horrified by the idea but, 'Go, Paul!'
I guess I just need to keep on moving on.
I have finished the audiobook of Runemarks by Joanne M. Harris read by Rosie Jones and here are a few thoughts:
It's been 500 years since the end of the world; the old Norse gods are in hiding; magic is outlawed; the Order keeps a close watch: and in a remote valley in the north, 14-year-old Maddy Smith is shunned for the ruinmark on her hand. But then things change, and Maddy must save the worlds.
I purposely didn't read up too much about Runemarks before I started to listen. I knew I already liked the way that Joanne M. Harris explored Norse mythology thanks to the fantastical The Gospel of Loki and most of the time having confidence in an author (or a recommendation from someone I trust) is enough for me to give the book a go. I was taken on an adventure that went under Red Horse Hill and into Worlds Below.
I don't want to give spoilers, but Harris takes the characters from myth and the legends themselves into a new situation and reports on what happens as the threat of the Order increases. Doing this makes it fresh and fun. Maddy is a teenager who grows as she learns more about who and what she represents and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with these old gods.
Rosie Jones's characterisations added an extra layer to personalities of each voice that I always knew who was talking and what they were feelings.
The ending leaves you in little doubt about the power of good storytellers and how crafty they can be.
I didn't talk about being 'challenged or entertained' last time even though I put the phrase in the title of the post to remind myself to talk about it.
I read a lot of escapist fantasy (including science fiction, the weird and crime – though crime might be more of an escapist reality?) and fewer books that I would consider challenging. But over the last few months, I'm forcing myself, mostly by creating an inescapable TBR, to challenge myself.
The picture above are books I bought in Feb and early March. Kiss of the Spider Women and Apartment in Athens are probably the ones that I'm most curious about how I'll find them. I am though looking forward to a different sort of adventure to my usual reads. I'm sure I'll be mixing in some of my more usual suspects.
I just have to finish my current fiction reading pile first.
If you want to get in touch, please do by tweeting me via @gavreads.
Until next time,
Happy Reading.

Ben Stiller's 'current' problem
Ben Stiller finds it difficult staying relevant.
The Hollywood star will turn 50 in November and admitted he has found ageing tough because he always wants to stay current.
He confessed: "It's hard to stay current to whatever the current hipster hipness is.
"Pop culture moves so quickly now and people's attention spans are so short."
The 'Night at the Museum' actor says getting older has been particularly difficult in the last few years, as it has felt like time has being moving quicker, and he is unable to remember as much as he did as a youngster.
He explained: "I'm just amazed as I get older how time - you know that thing of how time goes faster? - I definitely feel that. And being able to hang on to the experience of things, I find that a little bit harder, too. Retaining memories."
However, Ben - who has 12-year-old daughter Ella and nine-year-old son Quinlin with wife, actress Christine Taylor - revealed he is hoping to revisit his youthful side in the sequel to his popular 2001 film 'Zoolander', which he is directing and starring in.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph newspaper's review section, he added: "I've never directed a sequel - you want to try to make something that's fresh and new and also honours what people loved about the first one. I'm just trying to go back to what makes us laugh."
