The grants fund prevention programs and activities, with an emphasis on high risk populations (such as at-risk youth and minority groups); and to continually fight to reduce and eliminate the stigma that is associated with alcoholism. Eligible programs include: prevention, treatment, research, public education, and creating awareness of alcoholism problems in the workforce.
Eli and Edythe L. Broad Foundation
Deadline: Rolling
Funding: $75,000-$200,000

In addition, the BMRP wants to attract scientists who are not currently working in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) to apply their knowledge, expertise, and techniques to IBD research. The BMRP is interested in early stage exploratory innovative research proposals to investigate the similarities and differences between IBD and diabetes mellitus (DM). Proposals should be exploratory in nature designed as pilot projects researching possible commonality in the etiopathogenesis between IBD and DM. Human or animal model studies are welcomed. Preference is given to proposals for work conducted with patients and with strong potential of clinical applicability in the foreseeable future. Research using non-human material should lead to translational benefits to patients with IBD.
Requests for funding must be preceded by a brief letter of interest, which may be submitted at any time. If possible, the letter of interest and all attachments should be sent via e-mail. If the letter and attachments are sent electronically, the applicant should not send a printed copy.
The applicant institution must be a nonprofit, charitable institution, such as a university, hospital, or research organization. Applications are accepted from institutions worldwide. The Principal Investigator can be a postdoctoral fellow or someone with a faculty or equivalent appointment at the institution. There can be only one Principal Investigator for each proposal. Basic and clinical investigators, scientists not currently working in inflammatory bowel disease, and interdisciplinary teams are encouraged to apply.

"The Borgia... they must be removed from power, or who knows what hell will befall Roma?""This is true, but this cannot be accomplished by the few of us."
"We have many allies, they simply need to be shown our purpose. The rebels of the city refuse to accept Borgia rule, as do we.""How do you intend to reach out to these rebels?"
"Why reach out to them? Can we not simply... lend them our hand in battle? Recruit them through action, not words?""If anyone is able to do such a thing, it would be you, Ezio."
"Grazie Machiavelli. Now, back to your work. The city still lies under oppression, and we have much to accomplish."Meanwhile, streets away, you are pressed against a wall with other rebels, your heart pounding in your chest as you eye your rapier, broken and on the ground. You say nothing and keep your straight face, the damned official before you speaking to you as though you are a stupid child. You grit your teeth and one of you, in your fear and anger, tackles the official to the dirt. The soldiers hold a sword to your throats, and you can feel that today, you have drawn your final breaths. Praying to God that he may forgive your sins, you close your eyes.
The sound of gasps and dropping bodies surround you, and you fear you may be next. However, when a body hits yours from the front, you open your eyes to see four people, dressed in white with hoods on their heads, looking at you with straight faces. The guards are dead, and you fall to your knees in gratitude, as it seemed these people in white have saved you. One of them steps forward and offers his hand to help you stand.
"The Liberation of Roma has begun. If you choose to flee, do so now, but if you choose to fight, stand with me against the Borgia," he tells you, his hand extended. Looking up, you examine the man's face, noticing the scar on the right side of his face, marking his lip. You then realize that you must decide now. What is your choice?This will be during AC: Brotherhood, if you haven't already guessed that. Of course, you won't have to be a rebel, you could be a templar or an assassin that is already part of the guild. You don't need to be an expert on the game to play, but I do ask that you know a little bit on the subject. OCs only!
So, who's ready to liberate Roma?

Reviews & ratings
This place is amazing, I still can't believe it took me a year of living in Finsbury Park before I visited. The prawn bibimbap, bbq beef and all of the sushi I have sampled have all been wonderful. The sushi is so fresh (note: it tends to come out after the rest of the food). If you're not sure what to have, the Japanese & Korean Set menu A for 2 is delicious and great value at £26. The seating is quite cramped but you hardly notice once you start eating....and I think the place has a warm atmosphere. The staff are incredibly hard working and not at all unfriendly. You need to book a good few days in advance to get a table.

Food is amazing and worth the price,
Cozy place, very warm service.
Early booking is highly recommended :-)Sonam Fri Apr 26 -
Ordered some food takeaway did not check when I collected it: food wrong inside the bag! Bad service!

Awful. Booked a table for myself and two guests- arrived 5 minutes early and they'd already given it to someone else. Ruined evening, terrible service.

I've been here many times and food is wonderful. However I did book a table three days in advance for Saturday night at 20:30 and when I got there at 20:28 they already give my already book table to someone else and they ask me if I can go somewhere and come back at 21:10. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
No point in booking.Myriam Sun Mar 10 -
I've been here many times and would have gone even more were it not for the queues. The food is wonderful, so flavoursome and fresh. I love the marinaded beef bibimbap so much it's hard to pick other items, but everything I've eaten there is delicious. I've never found the service to be a problem. The staff are running around and you have to catch their attention, but they are friendly and polite and the wait for food has never seemed unreasonable. Go at lunchtime and you might not even have to book.

Best Japanese restaurant so far.We really recommend it.It is just lovely.We tried almost everything on menu and never was disappointed.Me and my boyfriend are both chefs so......Enjoy!!
anna Fri Feb 15Rated as: 5/5 -
The food here is seriously good. I am going to try and eat here again tonight, but it will probably be fully booked.
Agree with comments below on service.. They simply don't have the space or manpower to cater to everyone, but if you get a table the food more than makes up for it. Seriously - who gives a crap about the service if your food arrives on time and its cheap and amazing?! I don't go to a restaurant to speak to waiting staff..
In a sea of chicken shops, this is easily Finsbury Parks best restaurant (by a country mile). Try seasons too - another great restaurant nearby.Scott Fri Jan 18Rated as: 5/5 -
Really good food for a really good price, the service was friendly. Could not ask for more in a local restaurant. Will definitely be back again. Just a word of warning... book in advance, we went on a Tuesday night and there was still a big queue past 9:00 pm.

How to set up a Facebook Timeline page
Facebook timeline for pages is now here! Wondering how to set up a Facebook Timeline page? This simple setup guide will help you make the most of this new template. Don't be discouraged and don't ignore these changes! Instead, capitalize on the new design and use the changes to your benefit. Here's how:
Choose a cover photo.
Ideal dimensions: 851 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall is the ideal image dimensions to fit on timeline. Anything outside of these dimensions will be stretched or shrunk to fit, so it's best to crop your photo to these dimensions before you load it into timeline for the best quality.
You need to really think about what you want your cover photo to be because this will be the main component of your page. Also, Facebook has some specific guidelines about what can and can't be included in your photo (for example, it cannot contain any contact information). View the complete list of regulations here:https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=276329115767498
Choose a Profile picture
Dimensions: Square image, at least 160 pixels wide. Click here for more details on the Profile picture.
You will still have a profile picture that will be displayed to the left of your updates on the Facebook NewsFeed. You can keep this as the same, or you can move it to your cover photo and add your logo as your profile picture. I've always preferred my clients to have profile pictures that are friendly and include faces if at all possible to put a more relatable human face to the brand, but you can certainly put your logo there if you prefer.
Organize Your Apps
You can still use apps in the new Facebook Timeline section, but now they are displayed a little differently. They will be included in the top boxes below your cover photo. There are four boxes total, and you can swap their positions so that the top three apps you want to display are there. The first box is always photos and cannot be removed or changed. This is a great spot to put apps such as a donation widget for your nonprofit, an RSS feed of your blog posts, a contact tab, or pull in your posts from other social networks like Pinterest, Twitter, or Google+. You can add more than three apps, they will just be below the fold and the user will need to click the more button to see them. The maximum amount of apps you can add to your page is 12.
You can no longer use a tab or app as a landing page, and any apps that had different content for fans and nonfans will no longer active.
For custom developed apps, the specifications and features have also changed. For example, the app can now be wider (810 pixels) and the favicon can now be 111×74 pixels.
Choose what stories show on your Timeline
Before you make your Timeline public, you should go through past posts and do some pruning. This is my favorite feature of the Facebook Timeline design. You can choose what you feature on your Timeline page and it doesn't just have to be your latest post like before. Since the time decay in the NewsFeed for Facebook posts is very short, the most important stories or most relevant information about your business is not always found at the top of your page.
Highlight – Click on the star next to the post and it will make it wider, to cover the entire width of the Timeline.
Pin to the top – Click on the pencil and the first option will be to pin the post to the top of your page. This only lasts for 7 days however, which is a strange feature in my opinion.
Hide – Click on the pencil and one of the options will be to hide the post so that it's not shown on the Timeline
Delete – Click on the pencil and one of the options will be to delete the post completely from the Timeline (This cannot be reversed).
Some ways to use this feature:
- Pin your most recent deals or coupons for your Facebook fans to the top of your page.
- Pin your latest blog post to the top. Pin your favorite quote.
- Pin upcoming events to the top of your page.
- Hide posts that are good curated content to keep people engaged in the Newsfeed, but are not original content or do not lead back to your website.
- Highlight compliments from customers so that they are more prominent on the page.
Create Milestones
Another neat feature is the ability to add Milestones. You may have already used this feature on your personal Timeline, though it's a more general feature on the Timeline for pages. You can add photos, tag people who were involved, provide details, and add a specific location. Milestones is located in the section where you post to your page, on the far right next to Ask a Question.
Create Milestones for:
- When your business or organization was established
- When new locations were opened up
- When leadership changed
- When new products were released
- When you reached a certain number of orders/customers/revenue, etc.
- When you established important partnerships
- When you received any awards or recognition
Review the Admin Panel
The admin panel will show up at the top of your Timeline page when you visit it, but will not be visible to any of your fans. If you click the Hide option at the top right, you can hide the admin panel and view your page similar to how your fans view it. The admin panel shows your recent notifications, insights, recent likes, and messages.
In the next month Facebook will also be rolling out 5 different levels of Admin permissions. So if you have multiple people managing your site but don't want them to be able to change vital components, you will be able to set their permission levels.
The biggest change here is the messages section. Your fans can now send you private messages through this feature, which will make customer service through your Facebook page a breeze! There are a lot of awesome opportunities that this feature opens up. Of course you may not have the resources to manage this feature, so you do have the option to disable it.
NOTE: Pages cannot initiate messages with fans, they can only respond, and they can send a maximum of 2 messages to a customer for every one message that customer sends them.
Facebook Timeline FAQ
Where's the "Like" button?
The Like button will be to the left of the button that says "Message", directly underneath the cover photo. If it isn't there, that means you already Like the page.
How do I unlike a page that has Timeline? (How to unlike a page on facebook timeline)
Directly underneath the Timeline cover photo to the right, there is a gear wheel button with a drop down arrow. Click the drop down arrow and it will give you the option to unlike the page.
How can I change my page name?
Facebook has now added a feature where you can request to change your page name. Before, you couldn't change it once you hit 100 fans. It is a request though, and is not guaranteed. You can access the request form here: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact_us.php?id=262629790471076 Your page name should be the name of your business.
Where did the Event section go? How can I create an event as my page?
The event section is an app, which you will need to add in the app section if you have not already. Once you add it, click on the event app and you will be directed to a page where it will give you the option to create an event as your page.
What are some of the best timeline pages?
I give some examples of good Timeline pages here and here.
Have any questions? Ask away!

Six Filipinos are confirmed dead and four are missing, the nation's foreign affairs ministry said. In addition, 16 Filipinos are alive and accounted for, according to a ministry spokesman.
One Romanian lost his life while four others were freed, the country's foreign ministry said.
United Kingdom
Three British citizens were killed, the Foreign Office said Sunday. Three other British nationals and a UK resident are also "believed dead," according to British officials. The Foreign Office confirmed the name of one slain hostage, Garry Barlow, in a statement Monday.
"Garry was a loving, devoted family man, he loved life and lived it to the full. He was very much loved by myself, his sons, mother and sister and the rest of his family and friends and will be greatly missed," the Foreign Office quoted his wife, Lorraine, as saying.
Twenty-two other Britons who were taken hostage have safely returned home.
United States
U.S. State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland on Monday said three Americans had been killed and identified them as Victor Lynn Lovelady, Gordon Lee Rowan and Frederick Buttaccio, who had been previously identified.
Seven U.S. citizens survived the crisis, added Nuland, who declined to comment further citing privacy considerations.
Erin Lovelady described her father Victor, of Nederland, Texas, as a laid-back, understanding and loving man.
"I want people to understand how wonderful my dad was, and how great a dad he was, and how much he's going to be missed by me and my mother and my brother," Erin Lovelady told CNN affiliate KFDM, describing herself as "daddy's little girl."
Gwen Eckholm called Rowan -- her former neighbor in Mesa, Arizona, who recently moved to eastern Oregon -- a "very intelligent, super-nice guy" who told her he felt safe working in Algeria.
He said "we're in a compound in the middle of nowhere, and we've got security, and I'll be fine," Eckholm told CNN affiliate KNXV. "I guess you can't really be secure any place."

Non-Partisan Houston City Candidate Guides available at the FaithVotes tab or www.faithvotes.org!
Final Mayoral Candidate forum/luncheon for pastors
RSVP online HERE
WHEN: October 24, 2013
WHERE: Houston's First Baptist Church, 7401 Katy Freeway
TIME: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (luncheon complimentary)
INVITED SPEAKERS: Mayoral candidates (Ben Hall confirmed, others pending), San Antonio Attorney Allan Parker (confirmed)
It is time that all of the Christian churches in the city be good citizens, because we strongly embrace the values of traditional family and marriage, strong work ethic and accountability to God.
It is extremely important that our pastors be well informed, and we invite you to join us for a mayoral candidate forum and luncheon that will help you understand the differences between the major candidates.
If our pastors do not lead in bringing a Biblical voice to the governing of our city, who will? We need every one of you to join us and commit to leading every eligible citizen to vote for this November 5 election. Please RSVP today for this important candidate forum and luncheon!
RSVP online HERE, by email to email@example.com, or by phone to 832-688-9166.
We appreciate your financial gift to support our ministry of and for these courageous pastors!
Citizenship as Ministry
Para-church ministries have served vital and needed functions in many ways, from evangelism training, missions support, providing food, clothing and shelter to those in need and mobilizing Christians to be good citizens as well as many other areas of need. Arguably, however, all of those ministries described are responsibilities of the church in general and each local church in particular. A nationally known Pastor and parachurch ministry leader said at a luncheon in Houston, Texas, "Any parachurch organization that does not have as its central purpose to empower the local church is a fraud." As both a pastor and leader of such an organization he feels strongly that God's ordained institution to spread the Gospel and disciple the believers is the local church.
How does that overlay into citizenship? If it is indeed a responsibility of each church equip its members for effective Christian service, it follows that a necessary element of that equipping must be godly citizenship. As the spiritual head of each congregation, we believe that the Pastor must provide active, visible and consistent leadership in this area to validate it within the church, as well as to provide a prophetic voice of truth, integrity, justice and compassion to the world. We have Foreign Mission Committees, Youth Ministries, Outreach Ministries, Music Ministries, Discipleship Ministries, etc.; we are suggesting that each church that has not already simply add Citizenship Ministry, Community Impact Ministry or whatever name they are comfortable with as another pastor-approved and church supported facet of church affairs.
Very little happens without effective leadership, and we suggest starting with the leaders whom God has called – the Pastors, Shepherds, or as we refer to them, God's Generals. The primary reason for forming a council is that without a team of Senior Pastors committed to working together toward specific and measurable objectives, very little if anything will change in the involvement level of the churches.
There are some essential steps to developing and sustaining an effective area Pastor Council that are very important. The greatest challenge is simply overcoming the "herding cats" syndrome that keeps pastors in our separate "mini-kingdoms. This is not a "cookie cutter", one-size fits all approach, but rather some guidelines that will help avoid snares and maximize your possibility of building a strong team and have measurable impact.
(From "Mobilizing God's Generals" - a manual on bringing pastors together at the city level and creating church citizenship ministry teams)

When it seems everything that could get in your way when you feel changes need to be made, does, step back and breathe.
Might need to let go of the how.
Happy Magic Love Dust *~*~*~*~*~*~*
I'm dealing with a deeply personal issue. Every time I try to face it and come to a decision, technology, timing, circumstances build to disallow me a path toward the decision I've made.
Today was a day to resolve the issue. This morning (single Mom), my daughter was too sick for school. The traffic was atrocious. My schedule keeps the issue from being resolved…of course, I had to growl & curse the winds before I remembered…
- I breathe.
- I let go of making things happen.
- I surrender to 'being'.
- All things in time & letting go of the 'how'.
What a great weight off my shoulders.
What have you done to change your perspective & to gain control by letting go?

May 26th-28th
Route taken:
Onion Valley to JMT, to just below Glen Pass.
I intended to go to 60 Lakes Basin, but instead reversed course on JMT, to just below Forester Pass.
Back via Bullfrog Lake, explored lake above Kearsarge Lakes
Difficult section encountered:
Saturday - snow! PCTers were going over Glen Pass on the 27th, but I figured I could just come back next week, and then hit 60 Lakes Basin. Two large snow fields before Forester Pass, which I also passed. Several PCTers had come over though.
Special equipment needed/used:
Microspikes would be helpful for either Glen or Forester. I'm sure a lot of the snow is melted by now.
Possible alternative routes:
Chicken out and don't do either Glen or Forester Pass.

A Rhinelander farmer is hoping to restore normalcy to hard working people on the east coast. John Hein of Sowinski Farms in Rhinelander is driving force behind an 80,000 lbs. potato donation headed to Long Island. Hein says, "Someday, our area may need the same kind of assistance, so it's nice to be able to help," Hein says.
Four Wisconsin growers and one shipping company are making the donations. On Monday, one semi is scheduled to pick up the donated pallets of potatoes at three farm locations: Igl Farms in Antigo, Okray Family Farms in Plover, and Coloma Farms in Coloma. The second truck stops directly at RPE in Bancroft, for the second load.
After leaving Wisconsin, the trucks will travel to a warehouse called City Harvest in Long Island City, New York. From there, volunteers from the food rescue organization give out the potatoes to many who are still without power and need help. Since Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast on October 29, City Harvest has donated more than 3 million lbs. of food to about 600 soup kitchens, food pantries, and churches, and continues to help people in the hardest-hit areas like Staten Island.
Monetary donations from Ansay and Associates in Neenah; Grace Fellowship in Bryant; the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) in Antigo; Sowinski Trucking, LLC, in Rhinelander; will pay for the shipping the freight. Sowinski Trucking is also providing the trucks and drivers.

Well, my quest for an Oakley Sandbag 1 is still on, but now that I am moving everything to the cloud and using my Xoom more and more, I'm looking to trim my bag weight and size.Anyone got any good suggestions on a tablet-sized leg bag / holster type deal?
After a trip to Hobby Lobby and some quality time with Singer, I've updated the bag to be worn on the hip. I found that for the Xoom this was an excellent bag, but being tall the strap was never long enough and I was constantly trying to find a way to carry it low. (Note: An iPad would certainly fit in the main compartment, but probably not in the slot I'm using for the xoom as it is taller than the Xoom by about 3/4").I changed the shoulder strap so it would be detachable, and thanks to the good people at bdu.com, who send me a belt every time I buy pants, I had some great webbing to make the detachable drop strap.I've got shows lined up for August, and my goal is to be 100% cloud-ready by then, adding this Gearhead keyboard to the tablet for typing large docs and editing spreadsheets. The keyboard fits fine in the case, though admittedly it is going to be a bit heavy for a hip bag when I add ac adapters and other "stuff", we'll see.I'm looking forward to checking my notebook with the rest of my equipment and going through the airport with only this bag.If this doesn't work as I hope, I'll probably go with one of those RedRocks like Mike has.
How well would a 10.3" netbook fit in there?
Quote from: davidsinn on June 30, 2011, 12:37:51 PMHow well would a 10.3" netbook fit in there?I just checked with my wife's Dell Mini 10.It fits in the main compartment - in fact I could probably carry the tablet in the slot with it, but you have to stretch the corners a bit to zip it closed.Once zipped it does not feel overly stressed or stretched, but it is definitely "snug".
That looks good. Last request: What does it look like when being worn?
I picked up one of these in black for my Acer laptop: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=704999The computer just barely fits. It has become my Tactical Murse.
If you get another purse, will you post a picture?

Income has not kept up with expenses at the Museum of Monterey, so the museum is laying off director Lisa Coscino.
After being closed for 15 months for renovations, the museum on Custom House Plaza opened to great fanfare in June 2011. The staff and board members expected new rotating exhibits alongside cherished historic artifacts would increase visitors and, consequently, revenue.
But the revenue has not kept up with expenses.
"Lisa is a little too expensive for us," said Christine Sinnott, incoming board president for the Monterey History and Art Association, the organization that runs the museum.
Coscino makes $72,000 a year, the museum's income was close to $250,000. The museum spent about $150,000 in exhibits costs, and it employs another 10 to 12 people full- or part time. The director is the only person being laid off, Sinnott said.
When Coscino was hired last year, the idea was to have "visiting" curators who would come and go along with the exhibits. Coscino's work was so good, she ended up staying.
"Lisa is very talented and did a big thing to get us out in the community," Sinnott said. "Now we're going to try to make it a business model, watch our Ps and Qs. It will be really exciting."
The association is expected to present a plan about how it can remain sustainable to the Monterey City Council in October. The museum operates under a lease from the city that requires it be open continuously, preserve the maritime heritage of the community and allows it to have a gift shop.
"They've been through a lot of turmoil," said Fred Meurer, Monterey city manager. "I hope they can change the direction they've been in. In the last year, they had substantial changes in their approach."
The museum's reopening marked a new era for an organization previously beset by turmoil. Claims that former employees misused funds were investigated, but no evidence of wrongdoing was found, said the association's income report to the Internal Revenue Service.
The report, filed in March, shows the association received $230,000 in income in 2009-10 and $100,000 in 2010-11, the year it was closed. In both years, expenses ran about $500,000.
With grants and charitable donations drying up, association board members will try to run the museum on a "business" model: for example, shows will have to demonstrate they can make money.
"If we're going to put on a exhibit, we have to list what it's going to cost, where we're going to get the money, can we get corporate sponsors, banks," said Sinnott. "We won't have as many (events) but different kinds."
Mark Baer, the board's outgoing board president, will take over the director's job on a volunteer basis and the work will go on, Sinnott said.
"Monterey History and Art as an organization (has existed) since 1931, and we will be here in 2031 just as strong," she said.

Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair DryerArlene E.United StatesHairMedium BrownNormal HairOily HairColor Treated HairGreat Hair Dryer Worth Every PennyI had the ion color hair dryer from Sally's for about two years and i didn't have any major problems until it fell and it got a crack in the handle. I still used it until i shocked myself -_-. SO i decided it was time for a new one. I did my research and found this website that did the research for me which is great! and due to my budget i went for the Solia instead of the Sedu hair dryer.
First of all, it feels like a great quality product, I paid about 50$ for my previous hair dryer and i paid 49.99$ for this one (by using the "recycle your old dryer" coupon) Compared to the other dryer this one has far better quality materials specially the electrical cord but it is a little heavier.
Now performance wise, this dryer blows cooler air in the hottest setting but at much faster speed which is good because it causes less damage to the hair. my hair is naturally straight so the ion technology doesn't really make a difference on the frizz since I don't have any.
Overall, i am extremely satisfied, It looks like it will last a long time and It does a great job and for the price I paid, I couldn't ask for more. I definitely recomend this hair dryerposted Apr 20, 2013Link to this post -

Are you still optimistic? .. I am trying to stay upbeat, but as more and more time passes, it is increasingly difficult to retain that sense of hope ... How do you feel deep down in your heart? Still thinking it will happen, or starting to wear down and wonder if it is just a fantasy notion that will never come to be? .... How do you handle the possibility that there might not be anyone just for you in this whole wide world?
I would advise you or anyone who is suffering to try to take joy in the smallest things. That is a good place to start. Feeling grateful in those small things is a start toward many areas where we can build something. It is a mental/emotional/spiritual exercise that I have to do right this minute because I am struggling right at this moment but it helps me to orient myself into the outlook where I function best and where God can help me and work with me best.
So giving thanks for the small stuff is a starting point and can sometimes turn our thoughts around toward a positive action. Sometimes it is us who has to do the reaching out toward another person.
The logical, cynical slant within me says no. And if the answer turns out to be no, well, I'm actually not to hung up on that. It just means I'm likely to die in some seedy resthome, or on the floor of my kitchen in my 80s where I lay there undiscovered for a few weeks until the neighbours ring the cops about the stench.
There will be a workable cat door....
From a religious/spiritual slant I like to think yes, but the longer I wait, the more I see how men treat me in particular, I do think "perhaps that's God's way of saying you're meant to be a nun".
Either or, I'm not to bothered. I'm happy with my own company. I'd be happy married. I'd be happy as a nun. I'd be happy as a hobo sleeping under a bridge. Its all about attitude.
I posted the following post (which I need to edit) in a different thread in the Prayer and Support room.
I believe in both prayer and in action. I think we have to present our petitions to the Lord but also work on our relationship with God in our prayer too. Adoration is one way to work on our relationship with Jesus and the Trinity. I think that prayer and relationship is something that develops in a multifaceted way. For example reading what the saints have to say about God can enhance our praying to Him and understanding of how to contemplate Him. Contemplation in front of the Blessed Sacrament is very healing. I recommend it and I am talking to myself as I write this too.
I think that when we do things(action) to try to help our situation in one or another way, combine it with prayer, we can have the best outcome. I am not saying God gives us what we want when we pray, I am saying that He can teach us through all things that come our way; We need to get into ongoing conversation with Him. One activity we should pursue is learning what He is trying to teach us. I don't know how else to express all of this. I think prayer is a deep internal process, and in and through it we can get closer to God.
I think I learned a lot about prayer through the 54 day novenas I have done here with the people on this site. Being in community, saying the rosary daily and meditating this way has been a great experience. I think God teaches us a lot through our prayers with Him. I was not one to log on to check the rosary thread- It just was not my style- I was content to say the prayers daily and just know others were joining in.
Many of us singles are praying for a spouse, for health issues, for emotional healing and for jobs and so on. Many of us live with uncertainty. It is this uncertainty that we must bring with us as we go into prayer and it is this uncertainty that we must lift up to HIM.
Then we have to add action. Any kind of reaching out to meet someone or going somewhere new where we could bump into someone would constitute an action.
Hi, Richard. Yes, I do believe that should my annulment decision be affirmative and if it is God's will, I will find a wonderful spouse. I have some qualifiers there though. Both of them have to do with obedience and acceptance of God's will for my life. I know it is the same for you.
If God wants you to be married, and you cooperate with His graces, you will be married. There is a really good book: "Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence". I think TAN publishes it. If we 'roll' with life, doing the best we can each day, God will take care of things. He is actively involved in our lives.
I have that book somewhere in my apartment but have not read it. I'll have to find it now and read it.
Yes Richard, I believe I will find my match. Believe it or not, even am my age, I feel I haven't been ready, and that's why it hasn't happened yet. In my ming and heart, I know there is a reason why I am still single. We grow and change all the time, and in hind sight, if I had married when I was younger I'm not convinced it would have worked out because I needed work. I have faith that God knows what he's doing and things will happen in his own time.
Have faith Richard.
Everytime I ask my Magic 8 Ball if I will find my match, it tells me "Outlook not so good".
Then stop looking at the magic 8 ball Brett.
In response to your question - no, if I keep having birthdays.
I am not "hung up" on my personal age. It is what it is. However, I do not feel it would be in my best interests or hers to become romantically involved in someone 15 to 20 years younger or 10 years older.
I am fortunate to have a good happy life. That happy life would be complemented greatly if a strong faith-based Catholic woman entered my life. That would be the ultimate scenario.
Although I feel I have a good relationship with Our Blessed Lord, He is not going to bring someone to my door, ring the bell and say "here she is". I feel He expects us to do that on our own. When it involves interpersonal relationships with others, He gives us a brain to think with and reason. We don't live by instinct. We can't expect Him to do everything for us. I need His help in gaining eternal salvation. I need Him to help me carry my cross when life makes a wrong turn. That includes illness and any crisis that may occur. I am too weak to do those things on my own.
In short, I can't sit in an easy chair and wait for Him to intervene. He is telling me "if I want it, get out there and do it".
Just my opinion,
By the way, I hope life has gotten better for you considering your unfortunate happenings with the break ins.
God bless you now and always.
Are you still optimistic? .. I am trying to stay upbeat, but as more and more time passes, it is increasingly difficult to retain that sense of hope ... How do you feel deep down in your heart? Still thinking it will happen, or starting to wear down and wonder if it is just a fantasy notion that will never come to be? .... How do you handle the possibility that there might not be anyone just for you in this whole wide world?
Hello Richard. To be honest, I do not really spend much time dwelling on it. I do not feel drawn to wasting time hoping I will meet someone. If it happens, it happens. If not, this is more than alright.

According to Yves Edwards, if Hector Lombard likes you it's a good place to be, but if he doesn't then you are simply bound for an early death. Sure we are all bound for death eventually, but I imagine that a death via Hector Lombard fists might be a bit more bloody and painful than your run of the mill heart attack or car accident induced rigor mortis.
Yves also told us that Hector Lombard and Tim Kennedy are the only two people he knows who are capable of killing zombies with their bare hands. These two statements are proof enough for me that I really want to be down with Team Hector. I'm not ready to die and zombies scare the mess out of me.
Unfortunately, for Nate Marquardt it looks like he might be at the top of the list of people that Hector Lombard isn't too fond of at the moment. According to both a Twitter and Facebook account that claims to be the Hector 'Lightning' Lombard himself, he really wants a fight with Nate Marquardt now that Nate's out of the UFC.
We don't know if Nate wants the fight or not yet, as he hasn't responded to Hector and company's tweets just yet. I just don't think Hector is going to accept 'no' as an answer on this one.

Vermont employers are required to obtain workers' compensation insurance coverage for their employees. There are very few exceptions to this requirement. Employer size, non-profit status, non-monetary compensation or other such factors are all irrelevant to whether the employer must obtain coverage. This information sheet will address the few employment situations in which workers' compensation coverage is not required. It will also provide information concerning insurance coverage and what to expect for cost.
"No-Fault" Insurance Compromise
Workers' compensation was developed as a compromise system to benefit both employers and employees. It provides the injured worker with limited benefits in an expeditious manner. It provides the employer limited liability and contained benefits, limited by statute. Workers' compensation is also recognized as a no-fault system. Workers' compensation benefits are provided to an injured worker regardless of whether the worker or the employer was negligent or at fault for the work accident.
Mandatory Coverage – Few Exceptions
Vermont mandates that all employers with employees in Vermont maintain workers' compensation insurance coverage. The following limited employment situations do not require coverage:
- Casual employment that is not for the purpose of the employers trade or business- Amateur sports- Agriculture or farm work for which aggregate payroll is less than $2,000/year- Family member dwelling in the family home- Work performed in and about the home (for the benefit of the home)- Sole proprietor or partner owner of an unincorporated business- Real estate broker or real estate sales person on commission
Independent Contractor or Employee?
Special questions arise over whether an individual worker is an independent contractor or an employee, and thus, whether the employer must obtain coverage for that worker. The Workers' Compensation Division applies two tests to determine the worker's status:
If the worker is performing work controlled by or integral to the employer's business then an employment relationship likely exists and the employer should have workers' compensation insurance coverage. More information is available at: http://www.state.vt.us/labind/wcomp/wcindependentcontractor.htm
An employee, by definition refers to: "A person who has entered into the employment of, or works under contract of service for an employer." In order to be an "employee", the worker must expect or receive wages or some other benefit in lieu of wages. This means that a person who is a pure volunteer and who receives no money or other compensation is not an employee. If a worker receives room, board or some other benefit for work performed, this would be considered an employment relationship.
Corporations and Limited Liability Corporations (LLC's) must maintain workers' compensation insurance coverage. Corporations, however, are allowed to file paperwork to exclude corporate officers from their company's workers' compensation insurance policy. The necessary paperwork is a Form 29 – Application for Exclusion from the Provisions of the Vermont Workers' Compensation Policy. The officers of a corporation that may be excluded include the president, vice president, secretary, clerk and treasurer. Supporting documentation must be provided. The individual must be a designated officer of record with the Secretary of State or other documentation must be provided indicating such election.
An employer may obtain workers' compensation insurance coverage in the same manner that they obtain any other insurance coverage – from an insurance agent. Workers' compensation insurance coverage is not available through the State of Vermont Workers' Compensation Division. When shopping for insurance coverage an employer may choose to place all of their insurance needs (i.e. General Liability and Workers' Compensation) with one agent or carrier. Employers should be aware that not all insurance agents or carriers are alike. When shopping for insurance coverage it may be helpful to ask educated questions concerning costs and "claims handling." The carrier should, for example, be able to explain:
- their standard procedure when a claim is filed
- number of claims handled by one claims adjuster
- explain what ongoing contact is provided the employer during the life a claim
- how the employer can minimize their risk
Nearly half of Vermont employers pay less than $1000 per year for workers' compensation insurance coverage. The average net cost of such insurance for all Vermont employers is 4.26% of payroll.1 The cost of an employer's workers' compensation insurance may vary based upon the following:
- if they can obtain coverage in the Voluntary Market (vs. Assigned Risk Market)
- size of business; payroll
- newness of business
- type of work performed
- safety record
Vermont has an open competition insurance market in which different insurance carriers can offer workers' compensation insurance to a given employer at a different rate. Very small employers, new employers or employers with poor safety records may not be able to locate coverage in the voluntary market and may be placed into the Assigned Risk Market.
The type of work performed is another significant cost consideration. For workers' compensation insurance purposes, work is classified into over 600 "job classifications". An insurance carrier will likely charge an employer more to cover more hazardous job classifications, due to higher anticipated "loss-costs".
The employer's safety record is another significant factor in determining insurance cost. An employer with a good safety record with a good experience rating may be perceived as a better risk than another employer with a poor safety record and a high experience rating. An employer with a good safety record may find they have more choices when selecting insurance coverage.
Not all employers can obtain workers' compensation insurance coverage in the voluntary market. As indicated above, a new or small employer or an employer with a poor safety record may not be able to find coverage in the voluntary market. In the event coverage is not available in the voluntary market, the employer must still obtain workers' compensation insurance coverage through the Assigned Risk Market.
Employers who must obtain coverage in the Assigned Risk Market will likely pay more for their insurance coverage than the same coverage in the voluntary market. "Assigned risk" also means assigned placement. The employer may have no choice or limited choice over their insurance carrier or options regarding their coverage. Also, an employer with a poor safety record or poor claims history may be charged more for their insurance.
The costs of insurance may seem high to some employers but it is well worth the expense. The cost of a workers' compensation claim varies tremendously depending upon the seriousness of the work injury. One claim, however, may run into tens of thousands of dollars, significantly more than the cost of insurance. Employers may not recognize their savings until after a claim is filed and the expenses of that claim paid for by their insurance carrier.
Employers should be aware that there are laws and rules concerning workers' compensation that they are expected to follow. Here are just a few guidelines for employers to be aware of:
Note: An employer may be subject to an Administrative Penalty and monetary fine if charged with any of the above, after an opportunity for hearing and adjudication
1 2001 figure. Figure will likely change each year.

Lindsay Lohan Lies About Venice
When Lindsay got the lone positive review about The Canyons from Variety, did you hear her say she wasn't going? Nope. Lindsay was "humbled." It was only after every other negative review and the total bombing of the movie did she decide she wanted no part of it. But, even though it was a disaster, she still would have gone if they met her demands that she placed on the after she had agreed to go.
Now, Lindsay is telling the world she never confirmed to go and that her sobriety is the most important thing and that she would never have gone because her sobriety is most important to her. Uh huh. So, if the movie had made $100M and this was the first chance she would get to bask in the warm glow of praise, then she would also have stayed home? Not a chance.
