Nepal earthquake toll nears 7,000
Kathmandu: The Nepalese police said on Saturday that the toll in last week's powerful earthquake has climbed to 6,841 as more reports from remote areas came in and rescue workers retrieved more bodies from the rubble.
More than 14,000 people have been reported injured, according to Xinhua news agency.

Rescue missions failed to reach such remote areas as Gorkha due to obstructions to road traffic.
Insufficient food and water as well as poor sanitation have been posing a threat to thousands living in makeshift tents.
Some residents in Kathmandu have moved back to their damaged houses as efforts to retrieve bodies from the rubble continued despite dwindling hope of finding more survivors a week after the deadly 7.9-magnitude quake.

Celebrity Co-Stars Who Fell in Love Behind the Scenes
These famous couples discovered romance on set, and it lasted well after they shot their last scenes together.
These famous couples discovered romance on set, and it lasted well after they shot their last scenes together.
Actors get real about what it's really like to film a sex scene for a movie — and it's usually not as hot as you think.
See all of our favorite looks at the 88th annual Academy Awards.
After taking a bit of a break from acting to make his directorial debut (and to have what I presume is a very adorable baby with Eva Mendes), Ryan Gosling is back. In addition to starring in upcoming films from Adam McKay and Shane Black, the actor is cementing his return with his SNL debut. Gosling can't keep a straight face through most of the episode, which delivers some really weird and delightful sketches with few disappointments. Read on for our ranking of this week's SNL sketches from best to worst.
SNL bounced back nicely from Donald Trump this past weekend with The Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks, looking even bigger this coming Saturday with Matthew McConaughey and Adele, but December 2015 will really go all out. Our final three hosts of the year include Ryan Gosling, Chris Hemsworth (poor Liam), and best of all, a dual Sisters hosting with SNL alum Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Throwback videos of Ryan Gosling dancing as a middle school student have surfaced and they're hilarious.
This is just the beginning. I have no idea how I came across these gems but I'm in love! Where would you wear a pair of leggings with Ryan Goslings face collaged all over? What about Channing Tatum? Looks like I've got myself a Magic Mike XXL premier outfit!
Talk about the most pleasant restroom experience in the history of ever! A restaurant has created a Ryan Gosling shrine in one of the stalls. The walls look like the inside of a teenager's locker. Sign me up!
Uck. Have you noticed it is only Wednesday? Sorry to remind you. Here, let these pictures of cute dudes with cute animals make it up to you. You're welcome.
There's a new Ryan Gosling meme in town, and it's all about how he won't eat his damn cereal. It's like he doesn't know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
When Ryan Gosling broke the news that he would be taking a break from acting, our hearts broke into a thousand pieces. Who would reassure us through memes that everything would be okay? Whose pecs would we dream about at night? Who will Anna Kendrick tweet naughty things about?
Eva Mendes has a message for Ryan Gosling's ex Rachel McAdams: "Hey girl ... hands off my man."

India (b. India, 1976) was the first ever country and is a sad tooth. It belonged to a shark with a two hundred mile circumference. On a Saturday afternoon the shark bit a huge rock, mistaking it for plankton. One of its teeth fell instantly out and became lodged on the sea bed. The shark died. It was horrible. Its tooth was so lonely it became a country. India let people live on it but it preferred sharks really. In the eighties India tried to grow the shark back. But it only grew China and remained unhappy.
Each person made of India left behind a dent the same size. The dents had so much in common they decided to live together. They sang songs, played table tennis and had invisible sex. But mostly they just cried and eventually became rivers, like the Jhelum, the Ravi, the Tapti, the Krishner, the Godavari. The Ganges is nearly a million dents long.

A CRAZY, SEXY, GHOULISH Halloween Romance
Buy now for just $0.99!
Barnes & Noble
It was a question he had to ask…
Brendan Forrester loves his girlfriend, Nora. Like can't-live-without-her, Gomez-to-her-Morticia-Addams loves her. But when he asks her for more, he can't help but notice the look of fear in her eyes. Then a ghost from their past shows up at the horror festival they're both in, and Nora starts to change. Soon Brendan is remembering things he'd rather forget–including the voice of a certain girl he thought they'd long since vanquished.
It was a chance she couldn't pass up…
When Nora Travers is offered a part in a horror one-act directed by the daughter of a Hollywood bigwig, she knows she can't miss the chance–even if it means competing against her longtime boyfriend and getting back in touch with the mean girl she swore she'd never be again. But the past doesn't want to stay buried, and soon Brendan–her usually smart, adoring boyfriend–can't seem to stop sneaking suspicious looks at her. Or spying on her kissing scenes with her new co-star.
It's making them both wonder: do they have what it takes to make it through another Halloween?
SCARY, LOVESICK, FOOLISH is the sequel novella to CRAZY, SEXY, GHOULISH, but you can read either as a standalone. If you dare.
Chapter One
I crouched behind the bushes as the October sky blackened.
The house I watched was decrepit, but the guy on its porch was anything but. The boards under his feet were warped with age, but he was young, long-limbed and strong and sitting on a porch swing that squeaked with his movements. Paint peeled on the sides of the house, but he was dark-haired perfection as he sat hunched over a laptop, the glow lighting up his clear face and strong jaw.
Soon he'd be mine.
The house was set back in a neighborhood, almost swallowed by a forest. Tall trees grew on either sides of the moth-gray walls, welcoming the dusk and filling the yard with the sharp scent of pine.
There would be no one to hear his scream.
A dog barked in the distance, and he looked up.
I jerked down, out of sight.
When I pounced, I wanted him to have no idea who was attacking him, no warning except his own tingling fear as he stared into the night and wondered, Is there someone out there?
I waited a few beats—my breath coming faster now that I'd seen him—before I risked another glance. Straightening slowly, my hands brushing away the feathery leaves, I glanced at the porch.
It was empty.
The porch swing still creaked in the breeze, but the young man was gone. Vanished.
A hand covered my mouth.
I screamed.
Chapter Two
"Nora Travers." Brendan was behind me, laughing. "Trying to sneak up on me?"
I wrenched his hand away from my mouth. But he grabbed me from behind with strong arms and held me against him. I could feel the heat of his body and his breath on my neck. "Is this any way to greet your boyfriend whom you haven't seen in three months?"
I laughed and twisted out of his grasp. "You're lucky I didn't knee you."
"You're a day early."
"I know."
His eyes danced in the moonlight as I faced him. They were a dark, evening blue that matched his shirt. The color of troubled waters—I'd always loved that color.
I jumped up, knocking him to the ground of the forest on top of a crackling pile of leaves.
"Oof," he said.
"Shh," I whispered as I straddled him.
"What—" He tried to raise his head.
I leaned down and pressed my lips against his.
Our faces were cold, our noses icy, but our mouths were warm and as they met, the rest of my body heated to catch up. We'd been together for almost two years, but his kisses could still light me up as sure as any bonfire.
"That's how I was going to greet you," I said as our lips parted. "Hi, Brendan."
His eyes opened and a slow smile spread across his face. "Welcome home, Nora. I take it this is one of the stunts you learned this summer?"
"Yes." I straightened up, still on top of him. "How did you know it was me? I thought I was being quiet."
"I sensed a disturbance in the force. An evil disturbance."
"Really?" I plucked a leaf from his hair. He smelled like my boyfriend, like cool air, but with a coating of old house on him. Paint and dust, somewhere I'd never been.
"Yeah." He laughed low and tugged my ponytail. "And the motion sensor light came on."
"I want to give you a tour," he said. "Not that I don't like where this is going." He slid his hands up my jeans.
"It's okay." I smiled as I reluctantly moved off him. "I can show you some more stunts…later."
This was what Brendan had done over his summer vacation. He'd moved into this old house, all the while I was involved in a summer stock theater company across the country in Boston. It'd gone so well, they'd kept me an extra two months to work backstage on a show at a nearby theater. It had been an amazing experience, and I'd grown so much, but it'd barely left time for visitors and no chance to return to my hometown and my college boyfriend.
Or former college boyfriend, I mentally corrected as he rose and I followed him up the creaky porch steps of the house. We'd both graduated in May, and now we were settling back into our hometown, the first time we'd been in the same zip code as a couple, me at my mom's as I went to auditions and found a job, and Brendan here at the home he'd been texting photos of constantly.
His laptop was open on an overturned crate by the porch swing. A moth fluttered against the screen, drawn to its light. He shooed the insect away and closed the computer to carry it into the house.
"What are you working on?" I asked. "Your scene?"
"Yeah. Just going over some notes."
"Can I read it?"
Laughing, he pulled open the house's screen door—it screeched—and let me walk in first.
"You'll get to see it soon enough," he said. "The Horror Fest is next weekend."
We entered a large, empty living room. It smelled dusty, and there was a long strip of wallpaper hanging from the wall, desperate from someone like me with long fingernails to put it out of its misery. He hadn't decorated, and a pile of three or four boxes sat in one shadowy corner.
But what I really noticed was the huge fireplace on the far wall. It drew my eye. It had elaborate carvings in stone around it, but I couldn't tell of what. I moved closer.
"Does this work?"
"The fireplace? Yeah."
Up close, I could see the carvings were the small heads of demons, grinning wickedly. "Awesome."
"I know, right? I knew you'd dig it. It's probably the number one reason I decided to rent this place. Well, that and the rent was super cheap."
Glancing around at the peeling wallpaper, scuffed hardwood floors, and general look of disrepair about the place, I had no doubt he was getting it for a rock-bottom rent.
I squinted at the fiendish faces, trying to pick out which dark underlords they were. "Yeah," I said laughing, "it is kind of perfect here."
"That's what I'm saying." His voice was close, and his arms wrapped around me from behind once again. This time I melted against him. It'd been ten weeks since I'd seen him, when he'd visited me in Boston. I'd forgotten how warm and strong he felt. I'd missed his arms. I'd missed him.
"You haven't decorated," I said.
"Are you going to?"
He moved my ponytail to one side and kissed my neck. "Eventually."
His mouth grazed my skin, slow and teasing, and I bit my lip.
"There's a big bedroom down the hall, and the kitchen's got this giant old fridge that sounds like a monster in the middle of the night." He held me tighter against his body. "The upstairs is really weird and small and there's an attic where I think some kind of animal is living. And when you turn on the water in the bathroom, it makes this loud screech, and you're never sure if a bunch of rust-colored water or blood is about to come out or not. I think some of this stuff might be a health code violation."
"Cool." He had his own haunted house.
"There's just one thing missing."
"What could possibly be missing when you have demons on your fireplace?" I said.
I twisted around.
His eyes had grown serious. "You're missing."
"I'm right here."
"Yeah, you're here, but… So, I didn't want to bring this up at graduation, but… Do you want to move in with me?"
I tittered, but my heart rate kicked up. "What?"
"Move in. Here. With me. And whatever the thing is that lives in the attic."

The Tree of Life: Phylogenetics
STORY BY James Sullivan
Published: August 11, 2013
Some time ago there was the speculative question of what would be genetic science's equivalent to the Walkman – questioning the advances in genetic research that would be applicable to our own everyday lives, if for nothing else but to make them more convenient. All too often is the question asked, "What is the practical purpose of evolutionary biology, apart from being its own field?" Phylogenetics may be the answer to both – one of the very basic components of biology – in which the descent of various organisms is steadily mapped out and its relationships between the other forms of life diagrammed through computer algorithms just by entering in phenotypes to create a result. With just knowledge of phenotypes of a few related organisms, by computer they are able to construct a tree that features its line of descent.
This can mean not only breakthroughs in fighting viral epidemics by discovering where a specific strain of virus comes from and its potentially growing resistance to treatments, but also can represent a breakthrough in criminal forensics as well. This science has already been applied in Spain by researchers working at the University of Valencia. A local anesthesiologist Juan Maeso has been accused of spreading the Hepatitis C virus to his patients over the course of nine years through equipment that he failed to sterilize, a disease that he himself had been infected with and continued to practice. Collecting data from patients who had tested positive for the virus, the researchers isolated a specific genome of the E1-E2 region. Maeso tested positive for Hepatitis C himself, and further, the researchers isolated 322 cases of patients also testing positive – who carried a virus with the same phenotypes as the anesthesiologist. There were 47 additional cases that were quickly ruled out as not being related to Maeso's infection, and therefore these patients had acquired the virus from a different source.
Having gathered the phenotype, Valencia researchers were able to then establish at what point the victims had first become infected, a timing that coincided with the first reported cases of Hepatitis C being observed in Maeso's patients. Although the case may seem like a rare horror story that hasn't been seen in the States since the case of Kim Bergalis and her dentist Dr. David Acer back in 1987 (one year before Maeso had developed his infection), this seemed all too familiar for me to read about. At least this story has a somewhat more satisfying ending. Maeso was charged with criminal negligence and given a lifelong prison sentence, in addition to having to make reparations to his victims. In the case of Kim Bergalis, the connection that she contracted AIDS from her dentist (and thus making her a so-called 'innocent victim,') has never been firmly established. At the same time, over twenty years later, people are still reeling in horror from the case of Scott Harrington in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which some 7,000 patients may have potentially been exposed to HIV as well as types of Hepatitis, many of which are awaiting results.

- Asked about: Twelve South 15" BookBook Case for …
2 Answers from the Community
i looked it up on the twelve south site and it looks like the apple store changed the name to me more specific for the model, they make it in 13, 15, and 17 inch sizes not specific to apple models. It should fit a 15 apple computer comfortably
- Answered by Samuel L from Arcadia
Best Answer:
This accessory is designed for the MBP Retina ONLY. The MBP Retina is about 12% thinner than the MBP without Retina. So the accessory would not likely fit securely.

"Robin… Robin? ROBIN!"
Said tactician jumped, almost dropping the pulp novel she had been so enthralled with. "Wh- Geez, Chrom, don't sneak up on me like that."
"I'm not sneaking, you're just far too absorbed in- what IS that, anyways?"
The prince found his strategist's immediate and luminous blush highly suspicious. "What, this? Oh, it's nothing, really, I should just move on-"
He reached for the volume, almost grabbing it before she yanked back. "Don't- Robin, just let me- hey!"
Chrom had about half a second to realize how absurd he must look, grappling with a woman half his height over a cheap novel, before both toppled into the dust. This development seemed to agitate Robin even more, as she was hissing "Chrom, get off of me right now, you have no idea how bad this is g-"
"Are you alright, my lord?" The prince stifled an undignified yelp as Frederick lifted him by his cape, letting the tactician slip free. The knight, at least, seemed completely unperturbed.
"I'm fine, Frederick, thank you." In the act of brushing himself off, Chrom inadvertently caught the eye of a nearby village girl. She squeaked, blushed, and whispered something excitedly to her bevy of companions. The group of girls began giggling manically before looking at Chrom once more and finally rushing off. "... What was that all about?"
A shamefaced Robin offered him the book that had started this mess. "I… I might have an idea there..."
"What's this… 'Tales of the Shepherds'? That seems a bit odd, but-" he stuttered to a halt as Robin flipped a few pages, pointing out some key paragraphs. "This is… this-!"
"There are some worrying inaccuracies, indeed, my lord. I simply must search out this author and correct them."
Chrom choked. "Corr- Frederick, this book is full of, of, of sex the Shepherds are having! Er, not having, I mean… dear gods!"
"Yes, Robin?"
"You realize you shouted those last two sentences in the middle of a busy street?"
The prince's face couldn't go any redder, but he did glance furtively at the assembled townsfolk, many of whom were either outright staring, or, perhaps even more embarrassingly, hiding blushing faces of their own. "...oh gods."
Robin grimaced. "The bookseller disappeared, but he mentioned beforehand how… extremely popular this volume is."
"This… volume?"
"On of eight, thus far."
Chrom buried his face in his hands.
"Okay, I think that's all of them."
Various Shepherds sprawled in the tent, exhausted. Robin stacked a final book on the groaning table and stepped back, frowning.
"That… that doesn't look like all that many," Stahl commented, still winded from his last retrieval. Kellam handed him a glass of water; the quiet knight had been worryingly adept at finding the novels.
"We likely missed several, I'm afraid." Robin waved a hand at the massive stacks. "At the very least, we've… locked these down, and gotten the publisher to stop producing them. No luck finding the author yet." It didn't help that Lucina had procured a full set of her own. That girl's parental obsession needed serious reining in.
"I still don' get what all's the fuss is over these lil books," Donnel commented. Ricken nodded, glancing at the pile with more than a little curiosity.
The tactician stepped between the younger fighters and the table. "Let's just say it's full of rumors that could be harmful in the long run, okay?" She did not want to deal with the boys getting into the smut, and, gods forbid, asking questions about it. She'd fielded enough of those today. No matter how thorough a tactician she was, Robin had never anticipated trying to deflect queries from the book's previous owners about her boss's princehood.
Vaike stalked into the tent, thudding another twenty volumes next to the table. "No kiddin'! The Vaike has never been so humiliated in his life, and it don't help that they got his size mmphhgph."
"Not now, Vaike," Robin sing-songed, pushing the muffled scrapper towards the tent opening. "Why don't you go help Frederick and Miriel? Now," she added, glaring into his eyes until he got the picture.
"Uh, yeah, sure, I was just headed that way!" The fighter all but fled.
Before either teen could start up again, Stahl remarked, "Donnel, aren't you on dinner duty tonight? And Ricken, you were just telling me about a great turnip recipe you found while studying. Maybe give Donnel a hand?"
"Aw, shoot, I plumb forgot! Better hurry so's nobody gets too hungry!"
"Sure, I can do that. Let's stop by the stores first, okay Donny?"
Robin waved the boys out before shooting the cavalier a relieved look. Grease on the wheels indeed.
"Now can we hear what this is all about?" Lon'qu seemed grumpier than usual. Robin had explained the task as 'stamina and speed training' and he'd been too nervous near her to ask specifics.
"Oh, you GOTTA read this." Sully grinned like a loon and tossed a first volume at the surprised swordsman, dodging Robin's grab.
"Sully! We're trying to get rid of this drivel, not spread it!" Behind the tactician, Lon'qu was sinking deeper into his seat with each line, face like a tomato and eyes huge. Gregor leaned over his shoulder and began to pick out lines with glee.
"A little late for that, then, 'cause Sumia already walked out with all eight volumes. Think she's gonna share with Cordelia."
"She what? Gods..." Robin palmed her face, full of dread. Sumia was notorious for leaving books lying around. She completely ignored Lon'qu's yelp - he must have gotten to page 54.
"Hey Bubbles, guess who loves you?"
The tactician turned with a grimace. "Really not the time, Gaius."
The thief grinned, striding into the tent with a confused Chrom in tow. "Oh, so I guess you don't care that I found the author?"
It was Chrom rather than Robin who seized the thief's lapels with desperation. "WHERE?"
Robin had never been so happy to be out of camp. Between Frederick and Miriel's debate on accuracy (both physical and technical), Virion's terrifying glee, and Tharja's increasingly dark mutterings, the small town had been a godsend. Relatively.
"At least they didn't protest, much." Robin avoided Chrom's gaze. "I mean, they were perfectly reasonable, especially after Gaius took over the negotiations." Neither were quite sure what the rogue had said (or done), only that the writer had come out of the side room looking quite pale. On the other hand, both were on the edge of threatening the man with violence themselves, so they didn't particularly care.
"Perfectly reasonable." Chrom deadpanned. Robin slowed down until she was out of his reach.
"Yeah, all they wanted was an autograph.. and a measurement for posterity." Gaius's grin was positively filthy as he elbowed the prince. Chrom whimpered a little.
"It could be worse..." the tactician trailed off, wondering how to finish that sentence. "At least we stopped Frederick before he had those woodcuts made?"
"Woodcuts." Snicker.
Robin jabbed the thief sharply in the kidneys.
"Don't think we convinced Specs not to publish that treatise, though."
The strategist buried her face in her hands.
"But we probably stopped Owain from continuing the series with all-new 'characters'..."
Robin wondered if it was possibly to die of shame, secondhand or no.
"Not even going to ask Sunshine what she was muttering about before we left. Something about Bubbles and Teach and 'all must die'-"
"Yeah, Blue?"
"Please shut up."
The thief eyed how Chrom's hand was vibrating an inch away from Falchion and wisely desisted.
The peace last until the three reached the town square, bustling to the cries of "GE-tchor 'Tales of the Shepherds', volume nine! GE-tchor 'Tales of the Shepherds' here! Limited-edition first eight volumes, signed by the Shepherds themselves!"

BATON ROUGE -- With a road trip to No. 2 Kentucky looming, this weekend's series against Alabama is one LSU would be wise to win.
The No. 7 Tigers (27-7, 8-4) host Alabama this weekend after taking an impressive five of six games from SEC heavyweights Florida and Arkansas. If you simply look at the SEC standings, it's easy to assume the Crimson Tide (13-20, 4-8) will be an easy out for an LSU team that has won 9 of its last 10 games.
The Tide's team batting average of .255 ranks last in the SEC, as does its team ERA of 4.96. The Tigers sit fourth in the league in both categories, with a team average of .302 and a 3.10 team ERA.
Things are rarely that predictable in the SEC, though. Alabama pulled off a sweep of Auburn last weekend, giving the Tide life in the conference race after a seemingly hopeless 1-8 start. That same Auburn team took two of three from LSU back in March, so to assume anything is decided before the series even starts would be a mistake.
A few more notes for the weekend:
Getting healthy: The Tigers could finally see two difference makers who have been forced to miss recent action.
Raph Rhymes is likely a game-time decision for the Tigers after a week-long absence. Rhymes suffered a concussion as a result of a pitch to the head in last Friday's loss to Florida. He hasn't played since, but LSU coach Paul Mainieri may use him at designated hitter after watching him work out on Thursday. Rhymes' bat is bound to be useful in any SEC series. His astronomical .465 batting average leads the SEC, and his 34 RBI places him sixth in the league.
Aaron Nola is also returning to SEC play after some time off. The freshman missed the tilt against the Gators with soreness in his shoulder, which he suffered during a start against Arkansas. He pitched one inning Wednesday against Southern Miss, which was surprisingly enough to get him the win. He'll return to his usual Sunday spot against the Crimson Tide.
TV: There's no TV for the Friday night opener, but Saturday's game will be broadcast regionally on Cox Sports Television. The Sunday finale will be a national broadcast on ESPN2.
Pitching matchups: With Nola back in the weekend rotation, Mainieri will return to the tried and true against Alabama.
Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard will give the ball to freshmen in the second and third games of the series. The Tide's young duo of Justin Kamplain and Jon Keller combined to pitch 11 innings last weekend against Auburn. They gave up 12 total hits but limited the Tigers to three earned runs while striking out 11 batters.
Friday: LSU -- Kevin Gausman (5-1, 2.83 ERA); Alabama -- Trey Pilkington (1-2, 3.51 ERA)
Saturday: LSU -- Ryan Eades (4-1, 2.70 ERA); Alabama -- Justin Kamplain (1-2, 3.23 ERA)
Sunday: LSU -- Aaron Nola (4-1, 3.32 ERA); Alabama -- Jon Keller (1-1, 3.74 ERA)

High School Religious Education
Sophomores: You are invited to join us, as well, as you prepare for the final sacrament of initiation into the Church—Confirmation. If you attend a Catholic high school, you only need to attend Confirmation sessions during the sophomore year. [You will be confirmed during the fall semester of your junior year.] If you attend a non-Catholic high school, the Archdiocese requires two full years of Catholic education before the sacrament. Therefore, you are required to attend CCD in 9th grade before beginning the confirmation program in the fall of your sophomore year. Confirmation sessions will meet once a month in the Parish Center from 7-8:30 P.M. on Sundays. We will learn about our faith and grow in fellowship as we prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Please see the registration forms located by the doors of the church or in the Parish Center. For more information please contact Sister John Mary, the Coordinator of Religious Education, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504-865-7430 x206.
Adult Confirmation
Adult? Not Confirmed? #890 of the Church's Code of Canon Law says that "the faithful are obliged to receive this sacrament at the proper time." This might be that time for you! We will be starting our spring series of adult Confirmation preparation sessions January 21, 2014. They take place on Tuesday evenings. If you are interested, please contact Fr. Gregg Grovenburg, S.J. at 504-865-2328 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Anointing & Reconciliation
Reconciliation is every Saturday from 3:00PM – 3:45PM, Monday through Friday after the 6:30 AM Mass (7 – 7:30) and by appointment by calling 865-7430.
For Anointment, please call the office at 865-7430.
Baptisms are offered for our parishioners on the third Sunday of each month following the 10:30AM Mass. All godparents and parents are to attend a one hour baptism class which is usually on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00PM. Please call the parish office at 865-7430 to register for the class or to make arrangements for a baptism.
First Communion
Children in the second grade will make their First Communion. Those children not in Catholic schools must attend CCD classes in first grade as well as second grade and will make their First Communion with the parish children. Contact Sister John Mary at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504-865-7430 X206.
The Sacrament of Matrimony is a very special one. The times of our weddings are 7:30PM on Fridays and 11:00AM, 1:00PM and 7:00PM on Saturdays.

Sugarbeets– "It is one of the main reasons I came here," Kasper Skjerno Kobbero explained. For years, he has wanted to venture to the United States to experience a sugarbeet harvest in the Red River Valley. "I have a few friends from back home who have been to the same farm through CAEP, and they have had a really good time. After listening to all of their stories, especially about harvesting sugarbeets, I thought that this would be a good time in my life to go out and see something else and gain some real-world experience."
During sugarbeet harvest, Kasper drove a Kenworth semi-truck, hauling at total of 98 loads (2300 tons) of sugarbeets to the pilers and sugarbeet factory in Wahpeton, North Dakota. "It was awesome because I am not allowed to drive semi-trucks in Denmark due to strict regulations and high costs. It would cost me almost $8,000 to get licensed to drive a semi-truck back home!" Although, some farmers do farm sugarbeets in Denmark, most of the crop is used to feed cattle. "With huge piles and hundreds of trucks hauling all-year long, sugarbeets in America are very different compared to sugarbeets in Denmark."
When Kasper arrived in Minnesota last spring, he and other trainees had the opportunity to learn how sugarbeets are processed during a tour of Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative in Wahpeton. "Nobody would even understand how big the factory actually is until you see it for yourself."
Kasper's shift would start at 2:00 A.M. and would go until the next day at 2:00 P.M. or until the next shift came on to relieve him. "The 12-hour shifts were fun to try. We met at 1:00 A.M. in the shop and then headed out to the field to service the trucks and sugarbeet lifters so we were ready to go by 2:00 A.M." When his shift was over, him and the other trainees would go and grab a quick meal together, share stories and then head back to the farm to get some sleep until the next shift.
"Coming over here has been the best thing I've ever done in my life. I really like this place and the people I work with." Kasper is doing his training on a crops farm located outside of Breckenridge, Minnesota where he has helped his hosts, Bob Yaggie and Bruce Yaggie plant and harvest wheat, soybeans sugarbeets and corn.
"Before I came over here, I couldn't even say a simple phrase such as what my favorite meal was, so English was a big personal challenge for me. Especially when I was working on the farm, and I would have to describe an issue not knowing the right word to use. In the end, I realized there was only one way I was going to figure it out and improve my English– just try!"
Before wheat harvest began, Kasper and his fellow trainees ventured on a 16 -day road trip. They visited the Badlands in North Dakota, Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills in South Dakota, Yellowstone National Park in Montana, Banff National Park in Canada and Seattle. "It was an awesome trip and we saw a lot of different things that I've never even dreamed about, so that was a really good experience. We also spent a lot of time at my hosts' lake this summer, running the jet-ski and having a lot of fun trying to wakeboard."
From one little town in Denmark to a little town in Minnesota, Kasper Sjerno Kobbero has seen many new places and made many new connections during his time in the United States. "The people are very friendly in the United States, and almost everyone asks about my story and where I am from. People seem to be very interested which is for sure something different compared to Denmark," Kasper explained.
"I have a few friends who would like to come over here through CAEP, and they've been asking me many things about my experience. The only thing I can tell them is "do it". Of course, I told them about how great my hosts are and the farm I work on is. Nevertheless, it is also about seeing other parts of the world and getting to know a lot of awesome people. I am creating a big social network all over the world."

This poll was taken at the tail end of nearly two weeks of negative headlines, and it demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that Paul Begala was right on the money with this hilarious quote:
"Voters do not give a shit about what email Hillary used. They don't even give a fart."Seriously. Clinton's numbers remain every bit as phenomenal as before, which should strike absolute terror into the hearts of Republicans everywhere.
Yes, we've got 20 months to go. And of course it won't always be easy.
But this sure is one hell of place to start, isn't it?

The number of temporary jobs has increased by a third over the past year – but hourly pay has risen at the fastest pace for almost seven years, according to new research.
Employment firm Reed said the biggest increases in temporary posts were in retail, energy and consultancy work, especially in the West Midlands and the North East.
Permanent jobs also increased in sectors including transport, leisure and tourism, legal and education, said Reed.
Chairman James Reed said: "The recent increase in temporary vacancies is a positive by-product of an increasingly buoyant jobs market.
"More confidence means more movement within the market, and temporary and contract workers are helping to fill important skills gaps.
"Many employers like the flexibility that temporary staff offer and, for candidates, a temporary assignment or contract role can be an excellent way to demonstrate suitability and secure a permanent position.
"We've recently started asking temporary workers to let us know of their availability via our website and more than 50,000 responded in the first week, showing a very clear demand for this type of work."
Another report, by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG, showed that hourly pay rates for temporary and contract workers increased last month at the fastest pace since the end of 2007.
There was also an increase in permanent jobs, although the rate of growth eased to a 10-month low.
Kevin Green, chief executive of REC, said: "Once again more people have secured permanent and temporary jobs via recruiters than in the previous month, a sign of the continued strength of the UK's labour market.
"Hourly pay for people on temporary contracts has risen at the fastest pace for nearly seven years, which shows that employers are bringing in temps and contractors with the skills they need quickly and are willing to pay to do so.
"The increasing lack of candidates continues to be a worry as shortages spread across more industries.
It's not just engineers and IT specialists that recruiters are finding it hard to source – blue-collar roles like bricklayers, drivers and electricians are getting harder and harder to fill too."
Employment Minister Esther McVey said: "With vacancies increasing and unemployment falling, these figures are a further indication our long-term economic plan is helping Britain to recover from one of the deepest recessions in living memory."

Helping Canadians with Sensory Disabilities Get Physically Active: Tip Sheets for Intermediaries
These tip sheets are designed to provide general information in support of Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines, developed by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. Concepts outlined should not be used as strict definitions or rules, but merely as guidelines. Every person is unique. Remember, participants themselves are your number one resource when trying to ensure inclusiveness in physical activity.
Research shows that proportionately less Canadians with disabilities lead an active lifestyle due to a variety of factors including economic disparity, lack of access to transportation,intimidation, and negative attitudes or lack of knowledge on the part of physical activity providers.
For Canadians with a disability, regular physical activity may be even more important than it is for the rest of the population. For a person with a disability, an active lifestyle can open doors to increased health, social inclusion and self-empowerment - doors which might otherwise remain closed. Access to physical activity can eliminate the likelihood of acquiring secondary health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. Being active builds resiliency and can provide an all-important outlet for a person with a disability.
The tip sheets were developed by the Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability (ALACD), which operated until the end of October 2015. The ALACD promoted, supported and enabled Canadians with disabilities to lead active, healthy lives. It provided nationally coordinated leadership, support, encouragement, promotion and information to facilitate healthy, active living opportunities for Canadians of all abilities across all settings and environments.

My sister is travelling to Myanmar in September, she bought tickets spur of the moment, maybe without thinking (broke up with the BF, wanted to get 'away'...She sure is getting FAR away!)
She will be landing in Yangon Sun Sept 6th at 11:30pm , and departing Yangon Sun Sept 14th 1:10am
She hasn't made any plans yet, but wants to see Bagan and Inle Lake. Would hiring a car and driver be a safer option to flying? Or would that just kill all the time she had on the ground?
Her budget (excluding international airfare) is about $1800USD. Do you think this is too low?
I think she is leaning towards a car&driver, as that way she can have a guide throughout- she enjoys small group tours, but did not plan one for this trip. Maybe flying would mean getting a new day-guide for each location?
Can anyone recommend (or tell us ones to avoid) a tour company?

Car and Driver vs. Flying for Myanmar?

IMO, she has little time in the country that a car and driver makes no sense. The two easily accessible "wow" locations are Bagan and Inle Lake. I recommend 3 to 4 nights in each, she doesn't have enough time to for that. I' suggest that she fly to Inle Lake as early as possible on Sunday morning. (Your dates and days don't line up, but I will assume the dates are correct, giving her a week in country). Three nights at Inle Lake gives her two full days, one day for Sankar, the southern part of the lake, the other day for the main part of the lake, including InDien. Tell her not to do the tourist circuit, but to tell the boatman where she wants to go. After two days/three nights at Inle, fly to Bagan, spend three nights there and spend two full days on a horse cart visiting temples. Then return to Yangon and spend a day, making sure to visit Shewedagon Pagoda.
Se should daily be able to do this on her budget, assuming she doesn't plan to stay at the Strand. I'd highly recommend that she contact an agent in Yangon and have the agent book hotels and flights for her. The agent can also book transfers, car and driver, guide, etc, but tell her not to book her boat or horse cart through the agency, as she will pay double.
Also, she should start reading about the country now. This is a place where the more research you do in advance, the more rewarding the trip will be. Here is a list to get her started: http://www.fodors.com/community/asia/kathies-burma-bookshelf.cfm

Lots of good companies in Yangon. Do warn her not to use a foreign company - she will pay at least twice as much. We used Santa Maria for both of our trips.
If she wants a guide to hold her hand for the whole trip, her budget may be a bit low. She really doesn't need a guide anywhere. The boatman will take her around Inle Lake (she should read up on the sites in advance) and a horse cart driver can take her around Bagan. Most of the people she comes in contact with will speak at leaf some English.

Sorry for the typos - auto-correct drive me crazy! She should easily be able to do this on her budget...

Driving in Myanmar is not recommended - roads are not good, distances are great. A local tour company such as Santa Maria (used by many on this forum) can make arrangements for hotels and flights. Guides would be available at each destination, if that is what she wants. She will need airfare from Yangon to Bagan, Bagan to Inle and Inle to Yangon + 8 nights lodging. If she is willing to stay in modest accomodations, $1800 may be doable. She should contact Santa Maria with her budget and proposed plans.

Thank you both!
Kathie you are right, she arrives 11:30 Sunday Night, Sept 7th. Leaving 1:10am the 14th.
I will have her reach out to Santa Maria!
So looks like-

I would flip that - 2 days Inle, 1 day Bagan. Keep in mind that flights are often very early in the morning, allowing a full day of touring thus she would have 2 days in Bagan, which is plenty unless she is really into temples. She will really need 2 full days on the Lake to get a feel for it. Morning starts work best and the flight/drive will get her there mid-day. Also, Bagan may be preferable done first, depending on available flights...

She needs to get started on a Visa.

Actually she needs to get going really fast, not only with the visa. It is low season, but even then it is short notice and communications aren't exactly quick with Santa Maria. Get moving now...

I will pass all of this along- thank you!

Just a word about road travel in Burma...However bad the planes are, the roads are a nightmare for getting place-to-place. Except for the dual-carriageway roads connecting the airports to the cities at Rangoon and Mandalay, all other main roads are two-lane, single-carriageway, with buses, trucks, cars, motorcycles and carts sharing, one lane each way.
Complicating matters, the traffic travels on the right, as in the US and Europe, but many (if not still most) buses, trucks and cars in Burma are right-hand drive, as in UK, Australia etc. Which means they must carry a navigator alongside the driver to his left, to say when it's safe to pass to the left.
Consequently there are many near-misses and crashes on the main connecting highways, and some terrible accidents when passengers alight from public buses into the stream of traffic.
This weird situation came about in the 1980s when one of the generals who was president at the time decided in the name of de-colonisation from British influence that he would change the flow of traffic from left to right, completely without warning or consultation. Unfortunately, owing to past sanctions, the vehicles remained right-hand drive in a right-hand traffic flow.
In a roundabout way, that's why Burmese aircraft still have ashtrays in the seat armrests.
Hopefully, now that the nation is a member of ASEAN, the generals may be forced to upgrade the fleet to the level of Vietnam Airlines, Garuda, Silk etc, which are all excellent safe airlines.

Well, I traveled exclusively by road in Myanmar. But that was 2004 and I was trying to keep as much money as possible out of the hands of the government. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I got a good look at the countryside, but it's out of the question for the time your sister has.
If she has any interest in Buddhism and temples she should not short change Bagan (although I prefer Angkor Wat), but if she is more into scenery she should give the time to Inle Lake.

Agree with MareeS55 and Thursday.
Road travel is an adventure. And being stuck in a right-hand drive saloon car, with no a/c, and clapped out suspension only adds to the fun.
Yangon to Bagan is 2 days, Bagan to Inle is 2 days, and Inle back to Yangon is 2 days. So by road, in relative comfort, you need 2 weeks.
Report Abuse
I flew from Yangon to Bagan, Bagan to Heho (Inle Lake), and Heho to Yangon. No problems, felt just like a U.S. airline. One flight was delayed an hour.
Tickets were inexpensive. I booked everything online through Oway.com.mm (where I could compare airlines, flight times and prices) and had no problems. They communicated well and notified me when a flight time changed.

Sponsorship Letter
Dear Potential Sponsor,
The North Branch Bad News Broncos invites you and your company to join us in changing the way our society views careers in science and technology. The Bad News Broncos will compete in a highly regarded international program developed by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology: www.usfirst.org). The purpose of this program is to epitomize the importance of science and technology and simultaneously celebrate the young people who aspire to change the future of science. Conceptualized by Dean Kamen, a research scientist in the field of robotics, the FIRST program seeks to combine the rigors of academic excellence with the excitement of sports. Through this innovative program, our students will build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills that will help motivate students to pursue opportunities in science, technology, and engineering. These will not only apply to the classroom environment, but will also continue to aid students as they mature into their future careers.
The Bad News Broncos has always been quite a small team and we all consider each other family. Our team is actually very unique because unlike most teams we keep our team free and open to anyone. With your help, we are able to maintain that aspect of our team. Along with our generous sponsors we also do fundraising to assist with the cost of running the team. We also do not believe that there should be an interviewing process because all Students have the right to learn, and not all kids with the interest will have a prior knowledge of most technical things.
This is how, as a corporation or organization, you can help. By donating to the team (a 501© organization) you are not only able to help us achieve our goals, but you may even be able to help your company as well. We provide sponsorship opportunities for any donation level, and in return, you can end up with your organization's logo on our robot. What kind of exposure is this? It's a chance to market to thousands of students and mentors around the country through 100 different events in almost all 50 states. It's a chance, not only to help our team grow, but to expand your organization's horizons.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about our family.

Buccaneers vs. Vikings - 8/15/15 NFL Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-14) at Minnesota Vikings (7-9)
NFL Football: Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 8:00 pm (TCF Bank Stadium)
The Line: Minnesota Vikings -3.5 -- Over/Under: 36 See the Latest Odds
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings play a Saturday preseason game at TCF Bank Stadium.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look for brighter days after winning just six games their last two seasons. Tampa Bay hopes the future is in rookie quarterback Jameis Winston, who was named the starter over Mike Glennon. You can expect a lot of reps for Winston this preseason with guys such as Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson in hopes of getting him comfortable. It will also be interesting to see if running back Doug Martin is healthy for once. Rookie WR Kenny Bell has a chance to rise up the depth chart with a solid preseason. Defensively, the Buccaneers could really improve and have some young guys who need to step up. Some names to watch include Kwon Alexander, William Gholston and Leonard Johnson.
USA TODAY Sports
The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a Sunday preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 14-3. Teddy Bridgewater threw just six passes for 44 yards while Mike Kafka led the way with 66 passing yards and a touchdown. MyCole Pruitt had 51 receiving yards and a touchdown while Matt Asiata led the Vikings with 30 rushing yards on six carries. You can expect the offensive starters to play a tab bit more in this preseason matchup but not significantly more. Mike Wallace should have more than his one target that he had on Sunday. Defensively, Shamar Stephen led Minnesota with five tackles, Jabari Price had two pass deflections and Tom Johnson had a sack.
The Buccaneers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. The Vikings are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Buccaneers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
I don't like the Vikings on short rest against a Tampa Bay team that's well rested entering its first preseason contest. I also expect Winston to play quite a bit given that he's going to be the regular season starter. Give me the Bucs and the points.

The wiper motor is quite easy to replace. First check the 20Amp fuse that brings power to the wiper motor switch and then powers the motor. Open the hood and at the rear of the engine compartment you will see the wiper motor it is secured to the firewall with three bolts (10mm) ,remove the electrical connector, remove the three bolts remove the wiper linkage from the "old motor" reattach to the new motor and reassemble. It should easily be done in 45 minutes.

Sky Blues reveal debts
By Peter O`Rourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The First Division outfit have been forced to off-load a number of players to ease their debts and the full extent of their problems have now been revealed.
The players who have been told they will be allowed to leave on free transfers are Jay Bothroyd, Youssef Chippo, John Eustace, Lee Fowler, Morten Hyldgaard, Julian Joachim, Gary McSheffrey, Keith O'Neill and Barry Quinn.
The news comes on the back of Sky Blues player-manager Gary McAllister branding the club "a disaster from top to bottom."
The Sky Blues are just one of a number of Nationwide clubs who have found themselves in serious financial problems in the wake of the collapse of the ITV Digital deal.
It is now feared that the club may be forced into administration to deal with the debts like so many other Nationwide sides.
Sky Blues chairman Mike McGinnity admitted the club had no choice but to carry out these financial restrictions to help the club survive
"What we've had to do has been extremely painful," McGinnity told the club's official website. "But we're bottoming out and have a lot of positives to look forward to. Nobody wants to be where we are but it was a case of necessity. If we hadn't come down this far we couldn't look forward because we'd be bust.
"Since Gary McAllister became manager of this club, the goalposts have moved on a number of occasions mainly through fault of my own but I've always told Gary what I've had to do before I have done it.
"Going into this season we all knew about ITV Digital, we all knew about the final parachute payment but we were then hit by the collapse of the transfer market.
"When I first took over the bank required me to pay £9 million by last September. We identified three players to release and Gary was informed on this as soon as he arrived here."
McGinnity is optimistic that the club will be able to overcome their financial problems and insisted he and McAllister will not walk out on the club.
"From now on, we have to move forward both on the pitch and off it and we have much to look forward to. Our business plan - which has been fully approved by the bank - will take us through to 2006, from cash flow negative to positive," added McGinnity.
"We have an excellent academy and have seen several talented young players progress into the first team this year.
"We will continue to fund the academy to ensure players of genuine quality continue to progress. I can also assure everyone I will not walk away.
"I am not a quitter, Gary is not a quitter and nobody on the board is going to quit either. We are all out with the same aim and that is to restore this club to glory."

'Good Friday' name was given by Roman Church in the 6th-7th century, before that it was called 'Holy' or 'Great' Friday. The 'Good' in Good Friday comes from old English when Good meant Holy. It is also known as Black Friday in some cultures.
Christians all around the world observe Good Friday with respect and humility. Good Friday is the day of Jesus' crucifixion after betrayal from Judas. Jesus was beaten and nailed to a cross, where He was left to die and on that cross, Jesus sacrificed His life for mankind's sins. This happened because High Priest reaches his goal of greeting rid of Jesus Christ. He falsely accused Jesus of claiming to be Jewish King and Blasphemy against King.
Some Christians celebrate it rather than being mournful as this terrible day led to Jesus resurrection 3 days ahead of Easter after he died for mankind's sins. This day is also known as Black Friday.

Christians fast and mourn on this day. Good Friday is the Last Friday of Holy Week before Easter Sunday. Christians on this day Commemorate the act of Jesus' sacrifice. It is observed differently throughout Christian community with tradition and cultures of their region. Processions are held in streets, churches do a three-hour sermon.

The 20 Wealthiest Sports Owners In The US
Getty ImagesForbes put out its annual list of the richest people in America and it includes 28 people who own sports teams.
Friday, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer put in a huge $2 billion for the Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Times is reporting. Former owner Donald Sterling still has to accept the deal, but if Ballmer buys, he'll join this exclusive list.
These 20 people own a total of 24 teams in the four major North American sports leagues, including 10 NBA teams, nine NFL franchise, four NHL teams, and just one MLB club. In addition, several own other teams in the WNBA and the English Premier League.
All of them, however, have made their money outside of the sports world.

Maggiano's - Cincinnati Ratings and Reviews
I was there for my one year anniversary and it was all great until we got home with our take home " meals " that we paid $20.00 each for only to realize that our boxes were all of our left over food that we had on the table, which made me never want to go back. That was my first time there and not sure if I would recommend a friend there. I feel I definitely could have been served better somewhere else.
We absolutely had a awesome evening! The place is the BEST. Our service was excellent. He was very professional, personable, and had us completely at ease! The food was phenomenal. We could n ok t have asked for better. We usually select the Meal for two and have never been disappointed. Will absolutely return and tell everyone we know about our experience so they can enjoy it too!
My friends and I needed a girls night. This was a fist visit to Maggiano's for all of us. The menu had great options and a few of us were excited to order a meal and get a meal to take home! The tomato caprese was delicious as well as the 14 Hands Merlot. Our server had great recommendations and was very kind. We had a lot of food and leftovers too. We'll plan another night soon!
Reservation at 7:00 for 6 people. Waited 20 min to be seated and was put in an "overflow" room at the back of the restaurant. We asked to be moved. Waited another 10 min to be seated. We were put in the center of the main dining area. Seating was very close but we received very good service.
Reservations were honored on time. We did ask for a booth but were seated at a table. We didn't mind because it was off to the side. If you are seated in the center of the main dining room it is very congested which makes you feel like someone is always walking around you. Our waitress was good; my only complaint was she kept rushing me to box up the rest of my meal while I was in conversation. She asked me three times; we did not overstay our welcome and were there just about an hour so I don't know what her rush was.
We had a great time! The service was on point and our waitress, Taylor, was great. We never had to ask for another drink or wonder where anything was. She was very professional. I love that the quality of Maggiono's is always top notch. I don't have to worry about getting good food, I just have to choose which amazing dish I want that evening! Thanks!
Took our daughter, dressed as Wonder Woman, for a quick lunch before trick or treating at the Zoo. The staff - hostess Karen especially - treated her like a queen and made a lovely deal about her costume, etc. She loved the attention! Food was yummy as usual and we also tried one of their seasonal items - the butternut squash raviolis (really tasty with a browned butter sage sauce we sopped up with our bread). Their renowned pumpkin cheesecake wasn't out yet (starting in November I believe) so sadly we just missed out on that but we'll be back!
