What is Garage Keepers Insurance?
Garage keepers Legal Liability coverage is an optional coverage designed for business owners who offer towing services or operate service stations. Some examples of businesses that would need this coverage are: auto repair, towing, car washes, car alarm installation, windshield repair, detailing shop and car stereo installation. It protects a customer's vehicle when you are keeping it at a covered location for parking or storing, or to perform service.
Why do I need Garage Keepers Insurance?
Garage keepers Legal Liability insurance provides protection in case a vehicle is damaged by fire, theft, vandalism or collision. Whether one car or a garage full of cars is damaged while in your care, the total amount covered by Garage keepers insurance is based on the limit you choose. A case where this may be needed is: You get a call to tow a vehicle at night. The garage that you need to bring the car to is closed so you store it in your garage overnight. During the night, you are broken into and the car is vandalized – Garage keepers would cover the loss. Another example is you take a repaired car out for a test drive and get into an accident. Garage keepers would also take care of a covered loss.

Girlish youth and innocence are considered sexy in Japan, a culture with a long history of regarding women more as sex toys than as people. This obsession with untouched adolescence results in the sad sight of women in their thirties emitting girlish giggles and clutching teddy bears in an effort to maintain their appeal to the opposite sex. Although it can fairly be said Western society also prizes youth in a woman, there the fascination has to do more with the looks of a girl than it does with her immaturity and presumed sexual innocence. A pretty 26-year-old who would be considered lovely in the West would in Japan be viewed by many as hopelessly long in the tooth.
Western society looks for firm, youthful bodies housing the attitudes of grown women — we like them young, but we don't like them to act young. In the West, a teen's sex appeal is dependent upon her ability to look and act much older, thus the fascination with makeup and plunging necklines, accoutrements that make her appear less of a child and more of a woman. In Japan, this ideal is reversed — sexy in the Land of the Rising Sun adds up to childlike behavior and modes of dress that express this ideal. Sometimes this amounts to the adoption of clothing styles highly reminiscent of high school uniforms, but even when a girl dons an evening gown, she will strive to look like a kinderling caught parading in Mom's finery. Likewise, childish outbursts, pouting, and tantrums are viewed as charmingly erotic because such actions work to further the violated schoolgirl image.
If you've read the whole article, you don't need to be a genius to understand why this long-in-the-tooth-hag chose these particular, and seemingly unrelated, paragraphs to focus on. Ok, I'm still trying to make sense of how, and if, I can fit into a society that celebrates everything I am not. It's a tough gig. You will, however, need to be a genius to work out why Bill Gates appears here. In an image search for Japanese panties for my pervy readers, the above pic was tenth on the list.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/6/2013 (1521 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Canadian Mennonite University will host "Caught in Traffick; Opposing Human Trafficking" June 21 to 23.
"Caught in Traffick" is the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada's National Women's Gathering. The event will focus on human trafficking and will have a keynote address by Kildonan-St. Paul MP Joy Smith.
"We think there are a lot of people who are not aware of human trafficking and how easy it is for women and young girls to get caught up in it," said Diane Dwarka, co-chair of the event.
People often associate human trafficking to only women and children, but often forget about foreign workers being smuggled across borders, said Dwarka.
There will also be a workshop lead by The Salvation Army's Diana Bussey and a panel will discuss the issue of human trafficking. Former victims of trafficking will also speak at the event and telling their stories.
The WICC is Canada's only national ecumenical women's religious organization. The council includes 10 religions with partners from the Anglican Church of Canada, Canadian Baptist Ministries, the Christian Church the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, the Mennonite Church, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Religious Society of Friends, the Roman Catholic Church, The Salvation Army, and the United Church of Canada.
Costs for the event range from $100- $250 with visitors from out of town staying at CMU.
For more information, registration, and prices to "Caught in Traffick," go online at www.wicc.org or contact the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada at 416-929-5184.

Rashidi Yekini's legendary status as the most potent and prolific goal machine in the history of the national team is surely not in doubt. The Kwara-state born-football player remains a household name to be reckoned with in the annals of soccer in the nation. The search for Rashidi Yekini's heir has continued for over 20 years with no tangible result in sight. Who will fill the big gap left behind by Nigeria's king of goals? This is a conundrum yet to be unpuzzled. No one knows whose feet will fit suitably into the boots left by Confederation of Africa (CAF) player of the year (1993). Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Rashidi Yekini is seen here celebrating his goal against Bulgaria at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA. The goal made him the first Nigerian to score in the senior FIFA tournament in which Nigeria won 3-0 Rashidi Yekini lived between October 23, 1963 to May 4, 2012. He might have died mysteriously, but his football story is what all aspiring Nigerian strikers should borrow a leaf from in order for them to get to the pinnacle of their career. The exploits of Yekini in front of goal keepers from his first African Cup of Nations in Morocco in 1988 to his last tournament in Tunisia in 1994 is worth remembering. A good number of goal tenders saw him as a very bad customer whom they wish does not come face to face with them.
1. The poor quality of strikers in the last 20 years The likes of Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Ikechukwu Uche, Kanu Nwankwo, Victor Ikpeba, Raphel Chukwu Ndukwe, Michael Eneramo, Osaze Odewimghe, Victor Igali, Julius Aghahowa and the other retired Super Eagles strikers not mentioned here initially showed some flashes of scoring goals for fun not until their football playing career took a nose dive.
They all came, saw but never conquered. This goal drought has continued for years without a solution in sight. Some of these football players mentioned above bragged when they initially came to limelight that they will surpass Rashidi Yekini's goal record, but they falter and fell before they got to half-way their national team career. Since Yekini left the scene and died, the national team has been using on and off strikers who even find it difficult to play second fiddle in the respective foreign professional leagues they ply their trade. Some of these players hardly get up to 10 minutes of playing time while some are perpetual unused substitutes.
current players like Odion Ighalo and Ahmed Musa have been showing glimpses of the potentials in them. However, time will tell if Ighalo and their ilks will live up to the expectations of Nigerian football fans.
2. Low spirit of patriotism During Yekini's time, the spirit and passion of playing for the Super Eagles was very high. Every national team player was happy when he adorned the Green-White-Green colours of the senior team and rendered the national anthem. The zeal then was next to none. Looking at the present set up of the team under Coach Sunday Oliseh, there are some players who drag their feet before they join the team in camp ahead of important international friendlies or vital qualifying matches. This was also the case under former national team handler, Stephen Keshi and some of Keshi's predecessors.
3. Inconsistency on the parts of players One Nigerian player whose national football playing career was short-lived is Emmanuel Emenike. Emenike started on a good note especially during the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa which Nigeria won. Despite Emenike's injury after the four nil bashing of Mali at the semi-final stage of the tournament, Emenike still emerged as the highest scorer in that competition with four goals. Soccer loving Nigerians then saw the bulky Emenike as the new lanky Yekini. It was not until the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brasil that the former Fernabache of Turkey striker started to womble and fumble. Emenike failed to score a single goal at the global event. A trend which continued in as many games with the Super Eagles before he called it a day from international football after he fell out with Coach Sunday Oliseh. Since Yekini left the stage for the upcoming and young strikers about 15 years ago, Nigeria has had more than 13 different strikers. It is more of a striker playing at most 5 years for the Super Eagles before he goes into oblivion.
4. Frequent rift between strikers and coaches Why did some former Nigerian strikers retire early? It was nothing more than a lack of communication between these players and the people who manage the Super Eagles. The problem of misunderstanding between a striker and a coach is endemic in Nigerian football. Some examples of player-coach rift include those of Obafemi Martins and Stephen Keshi, Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday Oliseh among others. It should also be noted that this problem has been a recurring decimal which has made the former Victoria of Setubal striker's record yet to be equalled not to talk of being surpassed. 5. Wrong selection due to monetary inducement There are constant allegations that some national team coaches sacrifice merit for mediocrity all in the name of money. An allegation of this type was rife during the coaching career of Amodu Shuaibu. The former BCC Lions of Gboko coach was alleged to have always included Yakubu Aiyegbeni in his squad even when he was not playing well because the player often settled him monetarily. This allegation of bribe was not limited to only Amodu Shuaibu, but almost all the national team coaches.

BEST in Los Angeles!!! Marisa was incredible to work with. From the moment we met her we knew that she was exactly the type of person & planner we were dying to work with. She did an incredible job using the photos and references I had of my dream wedding and brought it to... Read More life. She answered my calls, texts, emails, fb messages etc within minutes & was always calm, cool & collected. She is incredibly organized & so fun to work with. My husband and I had a few last minute, BIG, requests for the wedding including a secret Tequila Tasting bar, a custom "platinum record plaque" for our guests to sign, and additional floral arrangements. Marisa listened to all our requests & made them happen! She has a very long list of vendors, so no matter what your style, aesthetic or budget for a specific item there was always a ton of great options to choose from. She was an absolute joy to work with & made the entire process so fun and easy. I thank her 100% for putting together our dream wedding and going out of her way to make us feel so special during the entire planning process. Hands down the best wedding planner in Los Angeles!!
Your wedding was so gorgeous and I just loved working with you two! Thanks for the awesome review - I really appreciate it!
Marisa and her team were awesome. We worked with them to plan a destination "weekend" with 5 separate events that ran from Thurs-Sun in Palm Springs.

We all have nothing but the highest recommendation for Marisa Nicole Events!
Thanks so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure to help your family plan a fab wedding weekend. Thanks for choosing us!
Marisa was amazing with us since we first met. She oozes passion for this. We were stressing at first because we were trying to plan this from across the country, but as soon as we found Marisa we knew everything was going to come out exactly as we envisioned. She was the single... Read More best investment we could have made while wedding planning; I couldn't recommend Marisa more highly. She's organized, knows this business inside and out, but above all she's extremely thoughtful, patient and warm. By the end, it felt like we had all become friends. As weird as it sounds - despite having LOVED our wedding and loved to not be all over the place getting wedding stuff - it was kind of sad that the planning came to an end because we had so much fun. Our wedding would not have been the same without her help, guidance and support.
Gee - thanks! Miss you guys and I really appreciate the fab review!
Marisa is amazing and there is no way the vision we had for our special day could have been a reality without her! She is extremely organized, easy to work with, enthusiastic, and has amazing taste. She introduced us to so many incredible vendors who were so crucial in making... Read More our wedding day so special.

Not only is Marisa amazing, but her assistant Claire was so helpful throughout our wedding weekend.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Marisa and her team, but in short - our wedding was only possible because of them!
Thanks so much for your kind words about our team! We loved helping you get hitched.
Marisa and her crew were there for us from the beginning to the end. Especially i didn't have to worry a thing on my wedding day. Marisa is super organized and always make herself available whenever we need her. Best wedding planner ever. We are so glad we picked her!
Gee thanks - you guys are super sweet! I am so glad that you are happy and thanks for letting us help you get married!

A lot of places don't post their prices online and it's super hard to narrow down all the options... Read More in LA. With Marisa, we were given a list of potential vendors customized to our budget and our tastes. Her recommendations were always spot on - we loved every one of our vendors, and that's thanks to Marisa. She also helped us negotiate some changes with our venue that we never would have known to ask for and that saved us tons of money. In terms of logistics, she kept us on-track throughout the year of planning, and she crafted a functional day-of timeline, which meant that on the day, our wedding ran on-time and stress free. She was also a blast to work with. She is such a great listener and worked unbelievably hard to make sure she knew us well and helped us plan an event that represented us. Even at my most crazy wedding stressed, Marisa kept me laughing and trusting that she had everything under control. Our wedding was even better than we could have possibly hoped, and right on budget. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Marisa and her team made our wedding planning frictionless - during the big day, I was shocked at how little we needed to do. As we joyously spent time with our loved ones, the moving parts hummed in perfect harmony in the background. The decor was more impressive than expected.... Read More The food was delicious and came out on time. The music played on cue. With all of the wedding's complexity abstracted away from us, we could focus on the main reason we had our wedding in the first place - our guests. | This was not an accident - it speaks to her team's volume of prep before the event and to their impeccable skill the day of. Marisa was responsive, conscientious, organized, and enthusiastic. With all that needed to be done, she never dropped the ball at any point throughout the year leading up to the wedding. | But these are table stakes in good planners. Here are a few things that really set Marisa Nicole apart (and that might help make your decision in choosing who to work with): 1) Marisa doesn't overwhelm herself by stuffing their schedule with as many weddings as she could. She paces herself wisely, giving you ample attention. Some other planners have weddings weekly for months on end. There's no way these planners will give you the attention you deserve, and you'll end up as part of their weekly churn. | 2) She customizes her approach to you and what you need. Every couple is different, and you want a planner who is insightful to detect what you need, and agile to customize her approach to give you the best service. This happens on multiple levels - from understanding your vision and main goals, to figuring out what items you want more or less control over, to your general feel. When speaking to some other planners, I felt strongly that they were one-size-fits-all - they had the same tactical approach to their weddings, and we would be put through a standard checklist of items. There was no "soul" in that planning. | 3) She's helpfully honest, but masterful in tact. In wedding planning, you don't want a "yes person" who will let you run wild with whatever crazy idea comes to your head - this is like publishing a book without proofreading. You want a partner who will help you edit to arrive at the best wedding you can create - Marisa is fantastic at this. / We wanted to work with a planner who could not only give us creative ideas, but also sanity check our decisions and wants. I appreciated most her honesty around what we could reasonably accomplish with our budget, what items were worth spending more or less on for guest happiness, and her opinions about which vendors fit us best. Consistently, she was correct about the decisions, as our wedding day proved. Importantly, she delivers her feedback with impressive tact, always messaging her opinions to minimize conflict. This is important if you have people outside the couple helping with the wedding. | When we were first choosing between wedding planners, we called 6 or more planners for an hour long each, asking thorough interview questions. For the reasons above, Marisa by far gave the best impression as the right person to partner with, for the biggest event we've ever planned. We're grateful to her and her team, and you will be too after your perfect day.
Wow - I am blown away by how thorough your review is. Thank you so much for your kind words. I work so hard to customize my work for each client and it makes me happy to know that you were able to see it!... Read Less Read More
Marisa Nicole Events was such a pleasure to work with. We chose her after speaking with ~15 different planners because she really tried to get to know us and our style, whereas other planners had more of a cookie cutter process. This translated to her completely delivering a... Read More customized celebration, which our guests told us was exactly "us"! She helped us to understand our top values (which ended up being a fun party for guests, a beautiful coastal venue, good value for money, and foodie-quality food and cocktails), and make decisions to achieve them while giving great input based on how things had gone at previous weddings in her experience. Because we were planning from out of town, she visited our top two venue choices and recorded video to send us so we could make a decision. Her vendor network was so strong, and she gave us a good picture of what vendors had done well or poorly in the past. We had done a ton of research on our own but in the end almost exclusively went with vendors she suggested. Finally, on the wedding day, she and her associates were all so professional and kept all the moving parts going smoothly -- all we had to do was stick to the timeline, have fun with our guests, and enjoy the event! Zero day-of crises made their way to us because they were all taken care of by Marisa and her team!
I just loved helping you guys and really do miss you! Thanks for your kind words and awesome review. Let me know when you're back in town and we'll catch up!

From our very first interaction, Marisa just put us at ease and made us feel like we were in good hands. We had spoken to a few other wedding planners before speaking to Marisa, but Marisa was the only one who wanted to just talk and get to know each other before we discussed anything wedding related. I loved that she wanted to make sure we were a good fit together and would make a good team before we ever broached the subject of weddings. Marisa got to know us as individuals and as a couple first. This made all the difference in my opinion and from that moment on wedding planning with Marisa had a foundation of friendship and understanding that allowed us to trust each other implicitly. Especially considering she was charged with the task of find a compromise between our opposing opinions on wedding decor and aesthetics. After we hired Marisa she had us fill out a questionnaire that included specific wedding related questions and also questions about our personalities, families, and what we think a great party includes. This questionnaire turned into the style guide for our wedding, and helped bridge the gap between mine and my husbands vision of our wedding. At the beginning I was completely and totally overwhelmed at the sheer enormity of planning a wedding. I am not one of those girls who had been dreaming of every detail her whole life and was indecisive and unsure. Marisa broke everything down into a manageable timeline and was there every step of the way. She even created a google calendar of payment due dates, meetings, and decision deadlines. She literally did all the tedious work for us and took the stress of staying organized off our plates entirely. She was always quick to respond to my crazy emails and assure me everything was going to be okay. I always felt like her most important client, and yet she never made me feel like just "client" - always a good friend who was also a client. She has a killer portfolio of vendors she has worked with in the past and trusts, but never pressured us into working with anyone. In fact, she did not hesitate to reach out to someone she had never worked with before when we asked. She made working with our vendors seamless and effortless, and made she they knew what we were looking for before we even got there. At the rehearsal she handed out a day of timeline - and gave her phone number out to our entire bridal party in case there was an emergency the next day (a BRAVE thing to do, in my opinion). She was funny, charming and comforting while I felt like I was going crazy. The day of our wedding her and her team were an absolutely God send. They had vendors working, bridal party and family organized for pictures, and her timeline in place - but still managed to keep the mood light and fun. Before the processional started she handed me a drink and cracked jokes with me, which she knew I would need. Marisa kept the reception on schedule, and was available to us for anything we wanted or needed - all from behind the scenes, never making us feel like we couldn't enjoy the party. I could go on and on. I can't recommend Marisa Nicole Events enough!
Wow - thanks for such a fab review! Miss you two tons!!!
Marisa was great! She's very easy to get along with and has a ton of knowledge and experience. We worked with her for a little over a year and she helped explain a lot of the inner workings of planning a wedding. She always gave us great recommendations so that we could make the... Read More best choices. On our wedding day we we're really blown away with how well everything came together and what a great job her and her team did. They went to great lengths to make sure our day went smooth and gave us the ability to really enjoy the experience and memories. Hiring Marisa was the best choice we made and we highly recommend her.
You are way too kind! Thanks so much for such a lovely review. Miss you both and hope you are loving being married!!!
Marisa is the best! We worked with her for a year and a half planning our Malibu Wedding. In that time she helped us with every detail, from picking vendors to decor details that make it personal and unique. She kept us organized and focused us on only a few tasks at a time so... Read More we didn't get overwhelmed. In the end we had an amazing wedding that we got to enjoy because Marisa and her team made sure everything ran smooth! She is fun and easy to get along with and keeps things real (which I really appreciate)! I am so happy we chose Marisa NicoleEvents for our wedding. So if you want your wedding to be amazing Marisa is your girl!!
Oh thanks so much for this kind review! I am still swooning over the gorgeous details of your wedding. Miss you much!
Marisa was absolutely fantastic. She made our day extra special. She is super organized and made sure every detail of our wedding was perfect!!
Thanks so much! Oh gosh, I am still swooning over your wedding - so I am glad you were happy and that you choose me to help you get hitched!
When I met Marisa for the first time I had just come from the vet with my puppy who was about 7 months old at the time. It was his first time in public for a long period of time and he was barking and jumping all over the place. Marisa was so calm and easy going with the dog... Read More that I knew she could handle my family and soon to be husband's and would be prefect to help plan my big day. After hiring Marisa, she met my parents and they were in love with her bubbly attitude and we will make it happen attitude. And just when I thought that I would loose it and that my vision for my "perfect" day was not attainable, Marisa pulled me in and showed me how all the details we were planning were working. She showed me that she had it under control and reassured me that she was helping to make my dream a reality. She made the vision of what I wanted become a reality and made sure to keep into account the ideas my now husband had and my parents. Marisa was great at listening, from details to larger things and she is someone who made my life easy when it came to planning my wedding. At the end, when I met with Marisa and her team the day before my wedding day, I turned everything to her including my trust and never looked back. On the morning of my wedding everyone kept saying how calm I was and that's all because of Marisa. She had everything under control!!! Marisa is professional, smart, sweet, understanding, caring, and above all takes what the bride and groom want as her #1 priority. If I could go back and change anything about my big day it would be nothing!!! Marisa, thank you for helping make it the most memorable day of my life.
Thanks so much for the awesome review! Haha - thinking of that first time we met always makes me laugh! Thanks for allowing MNE to help you get hitched!
Marisa and her team are absolutely amazing! My wife and I hired them for our wedding in Long Beach on 7/15/2016. Leading up to the event, the whole Marisa Nicole team was extremely helpful, very creative, and and thorough with all the large and small details of our wedding.... Read More Everything on our big day went perfectly and smoothly, which we know is due to the thoughtfulness and attention to detail of our coordinator team. Several of our other vendors told us how much they appreciated working with our coordinator too. I highly recommend Marisa Nicole Events for anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.
Thanks so much for the kind review! We had such a great time helping you get hitched!
Marisa and her team truly made my wedding day flawless. I chose Marisa Nicole Events to coordinate my wedding in June 2016. We had a little over a year to plan and Marisa was there with us every step of the way. She made sure that we were tracking to our timeline, she guided... Read More vendor selection, addressed issues and concerns, offered creative solutions, and was always mindful of our budget and style. Marisa was so easy to work with; she has the warmest personality and always makes you feel valued. She is detail-oriented while making sure to accomplish your "big picture" ideas. Marisa was always quick to respond and made herself available for everything from phone calls to meetings to phone conferences. Marisa's advice and guidance was invaluable...not to mention her negotiation skills with vendors! When it came to the wedding day, Marisa and her team were well organized and professional. They handled everything from making sure vendors arrived on time to making sure the makeup was tracking to resolving issues that came up. (Honestly, I don't even know what issues came up because Marisa handled it all). They made my day stress-free and perfect. Choosing Marisa Nicole Events was the best decision I made for my wedding day!
Thanks for this great review - I really appreciate it! It makes me so happy to know that we were your best decision. Miss you already!
Marisa was a life saver! All along the way she was so organized and helped us plan our perfect wedding! But then when it was pouring rain the entire weekend of our mountain outdoor wedding, she went above and beyond and literally saved our whole wedding! In less than 24 hrs she... Read More replanned our entire wedding, and you would have never known anything was changed last minute! She also helped not just me, but also my family and wedding party, stay calm and positive amongst so much stress due to the weather! She was so amazing, my family still talks about how she saved our whole wedding!!!
Gee - thanks so much for the kind review! I just loved being a part of making your wedding come to life! And yours is most definitely one that I will never forget:) !!!
Best Decision You Will MakeReviewed on 1/07/2016
People always say that planning a wedding is so stressful and crazy, but I really wouldn't know because I was fortunate enough to work with Marisa Nicole Events. My wedding day was flawless because of Marisa and her amazing team. And if it wasn't flawless, I certainly had no... Read More idea. I found Marisa on a list of vendors on The Knot. I interviewed several other wedding planners, but I didn't really know what I was looking for until I spoke to Marisa. Unlike the others, Marisa really spent a lot of time trying to get to know me and my fiance so she could get a sense of what we were looking for. We worked together for almost a year, and she always made me feel like I was a VIP. Marisa's relationships with high-quality vendors and her ability to really pull together the look I was going for far exceeded my expectations. We live out of state, but Marisa was there for us every step of the way. She provided options for venues based on what I told her I liked, and then she took us on personal tours of each one. She helped create wording for Save the Dates and invitations, our menus and programs. She did menu tasting with us and negotiated with the chef to help customize our food selections. She helped us find the right photographer, DJ, officiant, guitarist for the cocktail hour, hair/makeup company, photobooth company, dessert truck... the list goes on and on. She even made sure that we reserved metered parking with the city so our pictures wouldn't have cars blocking the gorgeous venue. She is responsive, thorough, and prepared for anything. I never doubted or worried that we wouldn't be able to pull it all off. Plus, her design aesthetic is unparalleled. We received so many compliments on the venue, the florals, the gorgeous lighting... none of which I could have come up with on my own. In addition to all that, Marisa is genuinely the sweetest, loveliest person. She is so talented and loves what she does. I feel so lucky and thankful that I not only got to work with her, but that I got to know her! I highly recommend Marisa Nicole Events for any event.
Wow - thanks for such a stellar and thorough review! I really appreciate it. It makes me so happy that you and the hubs are pleased with how everything turned out. We at MNE miss you already!
Marisa Nicole Events for your next wedding!Reviewed on 12/21/2015
Marisa Nicole Events was an awesome vendor to work with. The owner, Marisa was a complete joy and provided outstanding services. She is dedicated to making your wedding dreams come true! Please consider this outstanding group for your next wedding. You will certainly not be... Read More disappointed. They will take good care of you :-)
Oh thanks so much for your kind words! Loved helping you get married!!! Miss you - M
Simply the BEST.Reviewed on 10/29/2015
Marisa and her team coordinated what I can only describe as our dream destination wedding in Napa Valley, CA. First and foremost, they are meticulous. Marisa is extremely detail oriented, she created an interactive spreadsheet so that we could track our progress every step... Read More of the way. We were given checklists, calendars with deadlines, homework assignments, and throughout the entire process we knew exactly where we stood with regards to our original budget with an itemized working spreadsheet model. If anyone is on concerned about whether or not a wedding planner is a necessity let me answer that for you right now. You need Marisa. Her expertise with regards to negotiating with external vendors, renting tables, chairs, etc. will pay for itself many times over. She will be able to review all of your vendors' quoted proposals to tell you if you're getting a good deal or if there's a specific line in a rental contract that isn't normal, etc. Weddings are expensive and you will want Marisa there to audit the invoices, her experience will save you money. Throughout the planning process she was extremely responsive. We were in constant communication via email and text, and had semi-monthly updates at our local Starbucks :) We were truly lucky to have someone as special as Marisa to guide us through one of the best days of our lives and I can't imagine what it would have been like without her. She is truly an elite wedding planner and an even better friend.
Thanks so much for this awesome review! I am so glad you were able to see the value of our services. PS - I'm glad we've stayed friends!!!
We couldn't have done it without her!Reviewed on 10/28/2015
Working with Marisa was an AWESOME experience. We were planning a California wedding from Illinois, and we definitely couldn't have done it without her. She was there every step of the way for us - venue searches, vendor visits/interviews, and all the details! She was always... Read More available for us when we needed her, whether it was a question about some small detail or if we needed help on big decisions. She values the couple's input on all aspects of the wedding, and when we wanted something specific she gave us the options of how do get it done and we made it work. My husband and I are both engineers, so our creativity is minimal (we couldn't really think of new/creative ideas on our own, but we knew something we liked when we saw it in front of us!) - knowing this, Marisa gave us so many ideas and options to choose from to customize our wedding and make it the perfect event for us! When it came closer to our wedding date and things were getting crazy, she made sure everything came together and (with her team) made our day perfect! We couldn't have imagined a better experience with a planner. Choose Marisa for your wedding! HIGHLY recommended!!!
Wow - reading this review makes me so happy! I just love how your wedding turned out and working with you two was awesome. Thanks for your kind words!
Advice to Fellow GroomsReviewed on 10/26/2015 Steve R
Our wedding was perfect. What more can I say?! My wife and I started working with Marisa 10 months before our big day, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we EVER made! She laid out every little detail in a perfect timeline, made great suggestions while... Read More working with our ideas to make sure it was our wedding, and managed us expertly through the 'fun' times :). She kept my wife from becoming a bridezilla! In our first meeting, Marisa asked what was most important to us for the wedding. We said guest experience. Nailed it. And we had a blast! After reading this testimonial, The only mistake you could make for your wedding is to not hire Marisa. Thank you Marisa for everything!!
I am so glad to hear how happy you were with your wedding! We had a great time planning with you two love birds! Thank you for hiring me and taking the time to write this great review. Miss you both!
Marisa Nicole EventsReviewed on 10/22/2015
My experience with Marisa as our wedding planner was nothing but positive. From my first meeting with her, I instantly fell in love with her bright and bubbly personality. She was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, and I believe that's why she was able to... Read More cater to our needs and plan our perfect wedding how we envisioned it. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Marisa went completely out of her way to accommodate our busy schedules and tailor everything to our needs. Looking back, wedding planning was literally stress-free because Marisa made it such a breeze! Her customized timeline worked seamlessly into our schedules, so as our big day was approaching, we were able to enjoy the last few weeks and prepare ourselves for the wedding rather than running around finishing last minute tasks. Overall, hiring Marisa as our wedding planner was hands down the best investment we made towards our wedding! We absolutely love her and highly recommend her to any couple needing some fun help planning for their special day!
Sweet Angy - thanks so much for your kind words. It makes me so happy to hear that I was your best investment! I am still in love with the look we created for your day. Happy almost 1 year anniversary!

Marisa made one of the most daunting things that one can go through in their life as painless and efficient as possible. She never let us focus on too many things at one time and was always available to bounce around ideas or simply provide encouragement. Our wedding couldn't... Read More have been the success it was without her help and she was completely worth every penny.
I really appreciate the great review! It means a lot to me that you took the time to do it because I know you are crazy busy! I was honored to help you get hitched.
Don't Consider Anyone Else!!Reviewed on 10/21/2015 Kelley T
Our best wedding decision was deciding to work with Marisa Nicole Events! When we started the planning process, we knew we wanted a more unique and less 'cookie-cutter' feel to our day and having a planner would help us, two working professionals, achieve that best. After... Read More much research we interviewed with 5 planners, it was clear that Marisa was incredibly professional and amazing at what she does. She asked us questions we hadn't been asked before, and we felt like she got a great idea of we were and what we needed in a thorough meeting. Throughout the entire process, Marisa was so detail oriented, organized, and creative - she made what could have been very stressful super fun and beautiful to dream about. She was spot on on our budget and helped create realistic expectations for us to prepare for the wedding. She even talked me off the ledge when there was bridal party/family drama going on in the background :). She was a great support to have on our team. Our wedding was flawless as well. If anything went wrong, we certainly didn't know about it - we had an absolutely amazing time, the whole day was so beautiful. While I had worked a lot with Marisa on how everything would look day-of, the venue blew me away it was so perfect and beyond my expectations. Marisa and team were fantastic to work with!! Our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as special without Marisa Nicole Events, we are so happy!
Thanks so much for such an amazing review! Gosh, I am still in love with each and every detail of your day. The chalk-art, the brick, all the color... I'm still swooning over here...
DREAM TEAM for out-of-state wedding!!!Reviewed on 10/20/2015 Annie T
To start, Marisa was a FABULOUS planner to work with. From our initial consult, it wasn't hard to decide to go with her as our planner. She has incredible expertise and was very straightforward with us in terms of what to expect from her, as well as other vendors. We were living... Read More in Texas at the time and planning a wedding in Laguna Beach, CA, and we felt considerably at ease knowing that Marisa had our backs and was handling all the nitty gritty details (thank goodness!). She was very responsive to our emails or phone calls and we felt like we were always in the loop (which is not always the case- long story short we were planning a second ceremony internationally and those planners were not responsive or communicative). Personally, Marisa and her team were a joy to work with! Marisa is a force of nature and will fight for you to get the best deal. She is incredibly organized and on top of it - AND she made you feel like you were the only couple she was working with. She will also be open and honest with you regarding what the best course of action is. On the day of, we were behind schedule and she was incredible in shepherding the wedding party and vendors. We received so many glowing compliments from our guests about Marisa and her team. We left this experience tremendously happy and had the wedding we dreamed of, and a friend in Marisa. Trust us, you will not find another wedding planner as AWESOME as Marisa!
Oh man - your wedding was so wonderful. I am still swooning over all the tropical magic we made together! I really appreciate your glowing review and my team just loved helping you get hitched!

Kid Rock to Sell "Rebel Soul" on iTunes
Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:10:23
Kid Rock Photos
Kid Rock Videos
Kid Rock has caved and agreed to sell his new album, Rebel Soul, on iTunes after years of resistance.
Welcome to the digital age, Mr. Rock. If you can't beat 'em...
The album is out on November 19.
"We have landed," Kid Rock manager Lee Trink told Rolling Stone. "Times are different than they were on the last release. There are fewer record stores available, and there are fans who don't necessarily want to get in the car and drive to the store. They've been accustomed to buying it digitally. He's proven his point that he was able to have an incredibly successful record without iTunes, [but] that doesn't mean you can't reassess the landscape and take a look at people's buying behaviors."
Pre-Order it on iTunes HERE!
Will you nab Rebel Soul on iTunes?

An Animal Cell is like a City
By Cici Sheeks
An animal cell is like a city, because each part works together to create a great system.
The cell membrane is like the city limits, because they control what comes in and out of the city.
The cytoplasm can be compared to the landscapes and general roads within a city, where everything takes place.
The mitochondria is like the power plant of the city, which supplies the city with energy and power.
The endoplasmic reticulum is like a road or highway system, which transports materials to where they are needed throughout the city.
Ribosomes are similar to industrial buildings, and factories which produce new building materials (like proteins) to make structures in the city more efficient and replace those who are damaged.
The nucleus has some of the same qualities as a city hall, which controls the functions of the city.
The Golgi Apparatus is like the post office of the city, which packages materials (proteins) and sends them throughout the city.
The lysosomes are like the city dump, which contains and breaks down unwanted waste and broken buildings.
Peroxisomes are like sewage treatment plants, which break down dangerous toxins within the city.

The other day I wrote about how an Economist article distorted the picture of Bolivian opposition groups to Morales. These groups are free market in ideology and support foreign capital investment, while Morales is a statist and wary of Western nations in general. Unsurprisingly, The Economist treats Morales critically while implicitly supporting the opposition groups. There's also the usual assumption that Morales and his socialist policies are running the Bolivian economy into the ground.
But he's not! So far Bolivia's economy has done alright for itself. Between setting records for currency reserves (over $8 billion now), and surviving the global slowdown with a positive growth rate intact, Bolivia's economy is not in a bad spot. Perhaps the biggest criticism of Morales is his inability to get ATPDEA trade preferences reinstated. But that's more a function of a strange political calculation in Washington and Morales has responded with export subsidies to help businesses dependent on the U.S. market. Morales can still stumble and I don't know how well the nationalization card will play out, but Bolivia's economic outlook is definitely positive.

I have been very quiet with my creating these days. I was lucky enough to be introduced into the world of mixed media, thank you!
I have really enjoyed being able to use all sorts of different products to create. I am a die hard Faber Castell lover!!!!! I am playing with my new big brush pens and my gelatos. I saw the little project sheet with different hoops made using these products and thought I need to give it a try......
I am really happy with them. My favourite would be the yellow, grey and white. I used the new tropical set for the pink one and the 50s diner for the other (and white) a combination of gelatos and big brush pens and stamps by Unity.
I will post a tutorial shortly

Dear SCNA Members,
Today, on the ride home from work, I actually had to put on my sunglasses for a few minutes. This pleasant reminder that the days are indeed getting longer helped boost my mood after a day of work. I know that pretty soon there will be an afternoon when the weather is just right to open up the sunroof on my way home.
In December, my Saab friend Ben Choiniere and I drove the Talladega down to Delaware to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Sports Car Service in Wilmington. Each year, SCS owner Bill Jacobson hosts a holiday celebration and birthday party at his shop. Outside there were Saab's parked everywhere ranging from vintage 96's to brand new 2011 9-5's with everything in between. The showroom was filled with some of the nicest cars from Bill's extensive collection, including a few of his GM Heritage vehicles and dealer display and show cars. A wide array of tasty treats could be found, including hundreds of homemade Swedish meatballs and some tasty Aquavit! Inside the immaculate service area, along with plenty of chairs and beverages was an array of customer cars as well as some of the nicest pre-owned Saab's around.
Special appearances were made by John Moss of CT and Jerry Danner, who had flown out from Denver to see his new purchase, a 1959 93B that had once belonged to Saab Cars President Bob Sinclair. We all enjoyed hearing and talking about, sitting in and simply looking at that beautiful car and so many other vehicles, pictures and other rare pieces of Saab memorabilia. I wonder which car Bill and his crew will bring to Carlisle this year…
Upcoming events:
Carlisle May 19-20 in Carlisle, PA hosted by Saabs@Carlisle
eEuroFest 2017 June 9-10 in Lime Rock, CT hosted by eEuroparts
SOC 17 August 17-20 in Pomona, CA August 17-20 hosted by SCNA
See you in the spring!

It! The Terror From Beyond Space

It! The Terror From Beyond Space
It! It! It's on the ship! on the ship! It Breathes! It Hunts! IT Kills!! (naturally).
I wonder how Capt. Kirk or Capt. Picard would handle something like this alien monster creepin aboard their ships? (There was a similar plot line recently on the canceled Enterprise series, when a Gorn lizard alien was sneaking around the ship, but it wasn't as effective). Actually, the closest Star Trek TOS got to this was probably the episode "The Man Trap" - the first episode to be broadcast.
I remember when I first saw IT! on TV about 40 years ago. I was very young, of course, and impressionable. I tell you, that scene of the creepy monster breaking out of the compartment with the atomic reactor and grabbing that guy on the ladder was the single scariest scene of my childhood movie-viewing days. There was something about that monster chasing down, grabbing and destroying a weak human being (armed with a useless gun) that informed my nightmares for nights to come. Even though I knew it took place on a spaceship in outer space somewhere, I was scared of the dark in my own house for a long time due to that scene.
This just shows you: despite a shoe-string budget, the atmospherics they created here, of a haunted house in outer space, proved to be very effective. It Lives ON! It's ripe for another Remake. A DVD was released in 2001. BoG's Score: 8 out of 10
originally to be titled It! The Vampire From Outer Space: masks>
Trivia From Beyond Space: At a key point, Van Heusen (Kim Spalding) in his delirium decides to open up the reactor to kill It (in his words, enough radiation to kill a hundred men). It breaks out of the reactor room, thereby technically exposing the next compartment to this intense radiation - the next compartment where the guy with the damaged space helmet is seated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Zu3Q5QDB0

Chapel & Worship
"Episcopal schools are created to be communities that honor, celebrate, and worship God as the center of life." Corporate worship gives us the opportunities for prayer, reflection, and celebration. Chapel is at the heart of our Episcopal identity.
Kindergarten - Eighth Grade students attend Chapel at least four times each week.
A short service of Morning Prayer takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and alternate Fridays.
On these days, the students and faculty come together in the Chapel for the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner. These lead directly into a short service which includes a hymn, Bible reading, homily, and time of prayer.
On the alternate Fridays, students attend and lead Hoot & Holler, the School's assembly time. This is held in the gymnasium.
Wednesday mornings are a more formal Chapel service led by the priest of St. Philip's Episcopal Church.
The Wednesday service follows more closely the Episcopal service of Morning Prayer as prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer. Once a month, Eucharist is celebrated on Wednesday morning in place of Morning Prayer.
Early Childhood Threes and Fours have a Chapel service each Wednesday. On the other mornings, time for age-appropriate devotions and songs is held for individual classes, age groups, or the entire division.
In addition to the Chapel services, throughout the School, teachers share a time of daily devotion with their classes. Grace is also said by classes before they come down to the cafeteria for lunch.
'Episcopal schools have been established, however, not solely as communities for Christians but as diverse ministries of educational and human formation for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Much as Jesus spoke to all present before him, both followers and non-believers, Episcopal school worship embraces the full breadth of the human family.'
With this in mind, Oak Hall Episcopal School is 'called to fulfill two simultaneous commitments: to provide students an authentic experience of Christian worship that is unapologetically and identifiable Anglican; and to welcome, affirm, and support the spiritual development of students of all faiths or no faith at all.'

Skillet Chicken Paprikash w/ Breadcrumb Topping
Recipe by TiaGem
A wonderful way to prepare chicken leg quarters, which are very economical! The skins are removed too, so that lessens the fat and the sauce makes the meat nice and moist without them!
Top Review by LW Taylor
This was pretty good but I did make some changes. I used bone-in chicken breasts instead of leg quarters so I had to cook it a bit longer. I found that the one cup of water was not nearly enough---I added some white wine to it and still added almost an additional cup of water---I also added some garlic powder to the flour before coating the chicken.Something seemed to be missing though---maybe I should have used some seasoning salt---or maybe it was just me,as my son and husband had no complaints and cleaned their plates!LOL
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1⁄2 lbs chicken legs, skins removed (or smaller pieces)
- 3 tablespoons margarine
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small red sweet bell pepper, diced
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope chicken gravy mix
- 1 cup water
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons paprika
- 12 ounces hot cooked egg noodles
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
Breadcrumb topping
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
Directions See How It's Made
- Begin melting butter in a large skillet.
- Meanwhile, dump the flour into a gallon-size zipper bag and add one leg quarter at a time and shake to coat.
- If you are using smaller pieces, you can coat 2 or 3 at a time.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking them over med-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning once, to brown them on each side.
- While the chicken is browning, chop the onion and bell pepper and mix the envelope of gravy mix with 1 cup of water and the paprika.
- Add the onion and pepper to the skillet and pour the gravy mixture over all.
- Cover the skillet and reduce heat to med-low, cooking for about 45-50 minutes for leg quarters and 35-40 minutes for smaller pieces.
- Make sure to test for doneness by piercing the pieces with a fork-the juices that run out should be clear.
- While the chicken is cooking, cook the egg noodles in a large pot according to package directions and drain the water.
- Place them back in the pot you cooked them in and cover to keep them warm while you finish cooking the chicken.
- When the chicken passes the fork test, remove it and place it on a large plate while you skim the oil off the top of the gravy and discard it.
- Stir the sour cream and pepper into the gravy until smooth, place the chicken back in the skillet and cover to heat through at low temperature, taking care not to boil.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping by melting the butter and adding the breadcrumbs, toasting to a golden brown.
- Serve chicken over egg noodles, spoon on some extra sauce, sprinkle topping on to your liking and say it with me now!

Mil-Tac g10 grip style question
Looking to add a magwell and new set of grips for my Kimber for competition.
Going to go with a Techwell SP magwell (thanks to VR4 for pointing me in that direction) and my question is on the grips available for the well.
Anyone use Mil-Tac g-10's? Looking for something aggressive. Wondering how "grippy" they are?
I'm trying to decide between the diamond pattern
and the diagonal pattern
The other grip option is alumagrips
Really like the look of the G10 diagonal's followed closely by the diamond's, just wondering if anyone has any experience with any of them and can let me know how aggressive (no-slip) the grip is?
Gate, I had checkered Alumagrips on one of mine for a time and they provide a solid, no-slip grip. About the "grippiest" I have are on this one (bought them off eBay) with a Pearce rubber finger groove under them...
I have a set of Mil-Tac's first 1911 grips and they work quite well.
The diagonal pattern is definitely my choice of the ones you have indicated. I think that styling works the best for my hands and really locks the pistol in place when shooting.
You can contact Craig from Mil-Tac directly, he is a Vendor here, and I am sure he has several models that aren't out yet ( he is always trying something new ). He might have something just perfect for you, and if he doesn't, I know he is willing to take feedback and try to help you out.
Good luck!
Thanks for reminding me, I sent Craig a PM asking what he'd recommend and had available inlet for the techwell in the secret laboratory :D
Craig is a busy guy and doesn't log in here much unless one of us e-mails him to let him know we are doing some testing or something. Mention that you are a Supporting Member here though because we get a discount on most stuff.
Okay, will do
Mil-Tac didn't get back to me, so I decided to order the Black Techwell SP with the Grey/Black G10 Diagonal grips directly from TechWear's website. Just got them this afternoon. I thought I'd share my first impressions.
The grips have got a great feel, very positive grip. One review I saw, a guy said that if your hand slips on the grips, you probably just lost some skin :eek:
They're not that sharp, but I don't think I'll have any problems with a secure grip.
While doing some dry fire practice tonight, the magwell is definetely helping guide the magazine smoothly into the gun. As a bonus, it seems like it is really helping me index my grip on the pistol better (and faster) on the draw.
Time on reloads should definitely be better and my draw times may go down as well.
The grips and magwell as received fit together perfect, very tight with no wiggle or gaps. I didn't have to do any minor fitting as TechWear stated might be necessary.
The inside of the well blends great into the kimbers magazine channel, no edges or steps. We'll see how I do with it at sunday's match.
I was gonna see if Mil-tac could inlet a set of their "French Walnut" colored diagonal grips for the techwell, thought the contrast to the frame would look nice, maybe not though. Oh well
You know you want it, just get a set of snakes!
Those skins would probably work great :p......after I slap some skateboard tape over 'em!!

A public service by guest host Alex Holowczak on behalf of Christof
Welcome to the latest guest edition of the Friday Fryer, where we take a look at who was the sports world's biggest idiot(s) this week.
I volunteered to step into Manny's shoes, who was stepping in for Christof's shoes during his absence. Manny would be here, but I wanted a go. I hope to bring a unique international flavour to the Fryer this week.
Today is also a special day in American Chart History. On April 4th, 1964, The Beatles were not only #1 in the charts, but they were also #2, #3, #4 and #5! They had 12 songs in total in the top 100 (it was 14 the following week)! They had two albums out, and they were #1 and #2 in the chart! I have embedded #1 for sake of musical accompanyment to the article, and as a little guessing game, try to guess the songs that were 2 to 5, and the others that were lower down the chart. That leaves you with 11 songs to guess. Why have I done this? Well, they're English, and so am I!

jumper: zara
trousers: h&m
dancing shoes: american apparel
bag: zara
necklace: topshop
rings: both topshop
watch: michael kors
lips: rimmel kate moss matte collection 113
How gorgeous is the print of these trousers? I'm absolutely obsessed with extravagant prints at the moment and as soon as I saw these I had to have them! They're a sort of aztec/ snakeskin monochrome style print which is really eye-catching and unique but also so easy to match with other items. I paired them with this contrast leather sleeve jumper from Zara which I also purchased over the weekend. You'd think with my wardrobe I'd have every colour jumper under the sun, but I actually don't have a good standard thick black jumper so invested in this one. I also bought this nude bag from Zara which is a really simple day bag and a good size to fit all your necessities in. It was priced at a 'special price' of £19.99 which is an absolute bargain for Zara bags so snapped it up quickly.
I'm loving this rose gold oversized chain necklace at the moment. I've always been a huge fan of rose gold ever since I bought my first Michael Kors watch two years ago. I love big and bold statement necklaces so this is right up my street, it's sure to make an impact on any outfit and could be worn with a going out dress for a night look too.
I've had a really busy day full of interviews for my next internship which is really exciting! I was meant to begin an internship with Wallis in January but unfortunately that fell through so I am having to make alternative arrangements. Hopefully I've been successful with one particular company today as it has me written all over it and I think I would learn so much from the experience, fingers crossed!

- About Hunger
- How to End Hunger
- Our Impact
- Get Involved
In order to solve a problem, it's important to know its causes. Research helps identify the root causes of hunger and strategies to end it that have worked in the past.
Research is also a way of gathering information and knowledge. And in our day and age, information is power.
Bread views research as a way of actively engaging decision makers and others on the issue of hunger. It's not all academic or theoretical. For example, Bread's briefing papers and annual Hunger Report always include recommendations for ending hunger. These are specific steps that will bring improvements in real life.
Bread uses research as a tool to help the federal government make educated decisions. Leaders need both the facts and an assessment of what those facts mean. This information makes it easier to see the implications of various decisions. Our research asks and answers questions like:
Research also helps Bread members and partners reach out to others as hunger advocates. It doesn't matter whether it's a conversation with church members or a high school government class. It's easier to engage other people when we're confident that:
Here's an example: Most of the information in Bread's materials comes from trusted outside sources. Suppose that a researcher interviews farmers in India. They say their top priority is building storage facilities. Currently, a lot of their harvested crops spoil before they can be brought to market.
Another researcher wants to learn how farmers who support their families by selling their crops at market are able to do it. How are they different from farmers who try but can't? She gathers detailed information from people in both groups about their farming practices. It turns out that one difference between the groups is that the successful farmers have a way to store their harvested crops.
Americans who are concerned about hunger don't have the time or inclination to read these studies. Even if they did, how could they know whether the research is valid? What if most other research didn't reach these conclusions?
A lot of other questions arise. For example:
Even for policymakers, it's impossible to evaluate so much complex information. So Bread staff talk with experts and sift through research. They evaluate how important an issue is in the larger context of ending hunger. In the example above, investing in crop storage facilities for smallholder farmers could become one of Bread's recommendations. In their advocacy, Bread members would use the information supplied by Bread to tell policymakers that crop storage, along with other issues identified through research, is an important concern for hungry people overseas.
"An intelligent mind acquires knowledge."
Bread for the World sees global progress against poverty as progress against hunger as well. One of the major reasons people leave their home countries is to escape poverty and improve their livelihoods.
Hunger and food insecurity add at least $160 billion a year to U.S. healthcare costs.
To end hunger and poverty in the United States by 2030, our country needs to support a budget that improves the lives of men, women, and children. Unfortunately, the Trump administration and Congress are proposing dramatic cuts to programs that promote economic opportunity or provide food...
The United States is a nation of immigrants. Throughout its history, people have moved here from all over the world and have contributed to their communities and our national life. Today, as in the past, immigrants are also creating prosperity for this nation.
A brief examination of the biblical approach to health as a hunger issue.
Includes an introduction to the issue, a Scriptural reflection, practical actions you can take, and a prayer.
In this issue: Another Great Year for Bread; Catholics Begin Observance of Holy Year of Mercy; Serving on 'God's Wave Length' for 39 Years; and more.
A wide array of the nation's faith leaders have come together on the eve of Pope Francis' arrival in the United States to commit ourselves to encourage our communities to work for the end of hunger by 2030 and, toward that end, for a shift in U.S. national priorities.

5 Bad Reasons to Stick With a Bad Host
If you're not happy with your host, why haven't you done anything about it yet?
It's all too easy to make excuses. But the consequences of staying could be worse than the consequences of leaving.
Here are five common excuses we all use.
1. The Hosting Contract
Some hosts offer big discounts for long-term signups.
It's understandable that you'd feel trapped if you still had some time to run.
But remember: what's done is done. Effectively, there is no financial penalty for leaving other than having to set up a new hosting account wherever you go. Even if you don't use every month on your agreement, given the damage bad hosting can do to a site, you're probably saving money in the long run if you move.
2. Too Much Hassle
Moving a site, especially one that's been active for a long period of time, can feel like moving house.
The idea of packing it all up and moving it can seem overwhelming.
But hosts can help you move. Most cPanel hosts perform the move for you, and the service is often free. It's easy and fast.
3. No Better Option
You might think there's no guarantee that things will be any better elsewhere.
But that's simply not the case.
Hosting reviews are your friend. A thorough review can help you to determine whether a host is right for you and give you the confidence to make that move.
Even if you do get a bad host, you can protect yourself; keep your old account open for a month and take advantage of the free trial/ money-back guarantee period. If things are really that bad, just move back.
4. Fear of Downtime
The prospect of risking data loss or an extended period of downtime to make a move seems risky.
It may also feel difficult to organise the move so that your data is safe.
But a hosting move, if done properly and carefully, comes with virtually zero risk of downtime or data loss. The vast majority of sites that move hosts can do it without visitors being any the wiser.
5. Stuck in a Rut
When you've got your habits and routines, it's difficult to change them.
But moving isn't really that big a change.
Your host probably offers the same control panel, so there are just a few new policies and passwords to learn.
Making That Move
If you're paying for bad hosting, just take a deep breath and make the move.
A bad host can damage a good site in so many ways, there is nothing good that can come out of sticking around.
