Fates Colliding..
Bella Cullen has been alone for over a century, sure she'd never find her soul mate. What will happen once she meets him...but he's a 17-year-old human boy, and her singer? Will she give in to fate; will he continue loving her once he finds out what she is?

Modeled after the Dickens Christmas tale "The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain." When Jasper is offered the chance to forget all the horror and violence of his past, he takes it. But happiness isn't a life free of sorrow; it is the state one achieves when those sorrows are forgiven. Oneshot.
The lines of fantasy and reality are increasingly blurred for Edward, as he struggles to comprehend the fact that his beloved does not behold him.
Some may be troubled by this tale as it contains mental health issues.

Exerpt from chapter 5:
"He only had a minute left, if that. I braced myself and drew on every bit of control I had, praying that my self control was not just a choice but a super power. I would need it now. I pictured all the people that loved me and what it would look like to them if I killed this man as I bit down into the pulse of his neck."
Bella begins a diary that starts the morning after Breaking Dawn ends. It includes her reflections of the past two years, Renesmee's birth, her relationship with Edward, finding out about Edward's past, and events that happen in her new life.

Lear posts higher 1st quarter income on strong global auto sales
Southfield-based automotive seating and electrical component supplier Lear Corp. this week reported strong first quarter income due to strong global automotive sales.
Lear posted a net income of $122 million on revenue of $4.4 billion, up from income of $109 million on revenue of $3.9 billion during the same quarter last year.
The supplier said a 5 percent increase in global vehicle production boosted earnings.
Sales for Lear's largest business, seating, were up 11 percent in the first quarter to $3.2 billion. Its electrical segment rose 10 percent to $1.1 billion.
The results caused Lear to increase its 2014 financial outlook with full-year sales expected to range from $17.2 billion to $17.7 billion, up $300 million from the last outlook.

By John Rossomando
Although California once conjured up visions of a warm paradise with limitless possibilities, it now fosters images of widespread fiscal disaster and economic dead ends.
That tarnishing of the Golden State's image could have been avoided if officials had eschewed out-of-control spending and high taxation, observers say.
From its 12 percent unemployment rate — the highest in 70 years — and housing collapse to the terrible fiscal condition of its state government, the state stands as a symbol of what not to do, says Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
Special: Get Sarah Palin's New Book – Incredible FREE Offer -- Click Here Now.
Decades of fiscal mismanagement are forcing the state to slash programs to balance its budget. Indeed, the government found itself so deeply in debt at the beginning of the summer that it began issuing IOU's to state workers instead of wages.
It had to cut its Healthy Families program, which provides healthcare to low-income children, despite increasing demands for services.
The state's education system ranks 47th out of the 50 states, and its bonds are junk.
Under the budget deal Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger and the Democratic-controlled Legislature cut this summer to close California's $26.3 billion budget deficit, billions were slashed from the education budget, and 60,000 state employees were slated to be sacked.
Some teachers even resorted to a hunger strike in response.
All of this has dealt a huge blow to Schwartzenegger's popularity.
Crisis Could Have Been Averted,
"Sadly, this story could have had a happy ending," Norquist said.
Had California lived within the limitations imposed under the 1979 Gann Amendment, which limited the growth of spending to the rate of economic growth, some analysts say the state would be in a far better fiscal situation today.
But former Republican Gov. George Deukmejian allowed exemptions to budget items, such as education, before leaving office in 1991, which began the state's current fiscal trend.
So, California's spending increased 180.9 percent between 1991 and 2001, and the state budget ballooned from $51.4 billion in 1991 to $144.5 during the past fiscal year, according to the Reason Foundation.
Since 1991, California's revenues have increased by 166.9 percent, or 5.61 percent annually. The state would have a $15 billion surplus today instead of expecting a $42 billion deficit in 2010 had it lived within the limits of the Gann Amendment and limited its spending increases to 4.38 percent annually, the Reason Foundation found.
During the past 10 years, the number of California state employees exploded from around 270,000 in 1997 to 356,000 today, which placed increasing pressure on the state budget, especially in the form of pension obligations.
California Economy Has Global Implications
California's problems matter globally because, if it were an independent nation, it would have the world's eighth-largest economy. It dwarfs those of Iceland and Ireland ? both of which have economies that have fallen into shambles.
The boom days of the 1950s and 1960s when jobs were plentiful and towns and cities sprang from the desert have faded into memories.
"The concept of the California dream was a certain quality of life," Michael Levine, a Hollywood mover and shaker, told The Guardian. "It was experimentalism and creativity. California was a utopia."
But that utopia is largely gone now. In Los Angeles alone, the poverty rate has hit 20 percent, and Fresno and Modesto have jobless rates rivaling Detroit.
The situation prompted University of Southern California professor Kevin Starr, who has written a series of books on California history, to say: "California is on the verge of becoming the first failed state in America," according to The Guardian.
The bursting of the housing bubble and the resulting epidemic of unemployment and homelessness in parts of California symbolize the state's economic downturn.
One in four mortgages in which homeowners owe more than their property is worth can be found in California.
The area surrounding Riverside, known as the Inland Empire, has become home to large numbers of boarded-up foreclosed houses and abandoned swimming pools that have devolved into breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
One city has seen the establishment of a squatters camp of newly homeless workers living in their cars in a supermarket parking lot, and the municipality has responded by setting up public toilets and a mobile shower.
In the town of Merced, in California's Central Valley, home prices have plunged by 70 percent, spurring two local Democrats to call for their districts to be declared disaster zones.
The city of Mendota, near Fresno, which calls itself the "Cantaloupe Center of the World," has seen its unemployment rate skyrocket to 38 percent. The rate is expected to hit 50 percent once the harvest ends and laborers are let go.
More than 40 percent of the town's population lives below the poverty level, and many shops and restaurants stand shuttered. The city of just under 10,000 people also suffers from a serious drug and alcohol problem the downturn has aggravated.
Taxation Hinders California's Economic Growth
Contributing heavily to California's economic nightmare has been the state's high level of taxation, which has chased many high-income earners out of the state and hindered economic growth, Americans for Tax Reform's Norquist said.
"Several things have happened," Norquist said. "Because they've shifted the tax burden to high-income earners, high-income earners have been leaving the state. . . These new people coming into the state tend to be low-income and not paying a lot of tax increases."
As a result, a very small number of people in California pays half of the state's income tax.
"Right now taxes on businesses and top income earners are so onerous that many businesses leave the state and few come in," he said.
California can reverse its situation if it reduces taxes on those who create jobs and reins in the spending that has escalated the state's fiscal crisis, Norquist said.
"The one thing that comes out of this is that California can be an example of what not to do for the rest of the country," he said.

It was a dreadful Mother's Day for one family in Tabor City. A neighborhood crime spree ended with the rape of a 78-year-old woman and the kidnapping of her 58-year-old daughter.
The Stanley family said they want justice after two women in their family were attacked on Mother's Day.
"Helpless, I felt helpless man. I couldn't do anything. I needed help, and I needed help quick," said the victim's son Steve Stanley.
Blood still stains the walls and carpet of the home of Steve Stanley's mother. Pieces of a broken teapot scattered across the ground, a weapon used in the attack on his sister.
Steve Stanley, who was just a few hundred yards away from his mother's house when the incident occurred, said he heard his sister scream. After that he ran over to find out what had happened. He said what he saw next changed his life forever.
"My sister was laying right here on the floor with the side of her face bashed in and it was pouring blood. My mom was sitting in that chair, I don't think she had her clothes on because that blanket was over her, and that black man was over her in that kitchen saying I'll kill you, I'll kill you."
Police say that man was 47-year-old Arthur Leon Stanley of Nakina. Authorities said Arthur Stanley admitted to breaking into three other homes on Seven Creeks Highway before sexually assaulting the elderly woman and kidnapping her daughter.
By the time Steve Stanley returned, the attacker had fled the scene. 'When I came back here, my mom told me he had my sister and was gone with her vehicle."
Steve's brother Eddie followed the car through Brunswick County and tried to run the attacker off the road.
After a high-speed chase with Columbus County officers, the suspect wrecked his car just over the state line where he was arrested.
Friends of the family still can't believe it happened. "She's in there eating the lunch her son brought her on Mother's Day, and somebody does this to her...no heart," said Wendy Dorman.
The accused, Arthur Stanley, has a rap sheet dating back to 1978, and has served time for larceny, burglary and assault. He is now charged with multiple felonies including rape, kidnapping, burglary, assault, and larceny.
The victims are recovering at area hospitals.

This post is sponsored by Grocery Outlet. They asked me to see what I could cook up and, well, it was pretty tasty!
Baking is a favorite pastime of mine. My Gramma John was an amazing baker, winning ribbons at the fair every year. She was one of my favorite people in the world and I loved to spend time with her in the kitchen.
I'd like to think that I've inherited some of her skill in the kitchen. I'm so happy when a new creation becomes a family favorite!
Last weekend, I did some tinkering. I wanted to make a hearty breakfast cake full of whole grains, not too sweet, but good enough that you really wanted to dig in. After a few tries, I landed on the perfect combination. [Continue reading…]

I currently reload shotgun shells, have been doing so for about 8 years. I shoot and reload roughly 200 rounds a week. I am currently looking to venture into reloading .40 s&w for my handguns. Have a few questions. What is the average cost of startup to start reloading handgun ammo. What is a average break even point in rounds to add up to the initial cost of the equipment and materials? I currently have the ability to get brass casings by the dozens free almost weekly. Thinking that with this opportunity I should capitalize on it, just looking for some initial information.

The bill includes an amendment that prohibits the Department of Justice — which includes the Drug Enforcement Administration — from using funds to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. A similar amendment has been offered seven times in Congress, failing in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2012. The House finally approved it in May when it was offered by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) as an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

Concern over Colorado's Medical Marijuana Research Grant Program
September 3rd, 2014According to a Denver Post story, Colorado is scheduled to begin administering significant funding for the largest ever state-supported medical marijuana research grant program starting in early 2015. It is anticipated that Colorado's health department will release the program's official request for applications sometime this week. The state expects to deliver $9 million geared towards research on the medical effects of marijuana. There is, however, skepticism over who will be able to accept funding for the research program due to marijuana's federally illegal status.
At a recent meeting, several members of the health department questioned whether or not university-based researchers would be able to participate in the research program without first receiving approval from the federal government. Some members fear that the university review boards may disapprove of projects that are seen as being too controversial or as threats to the university's federal funding, regardless of state-funded approval for the research.
As stated by the health department's executive director, Dr. Larry Wolk, "It's going to be a challenge for the applicant." Although, Dr. Paula Riggs, a council member who is an addiction medicine specialist at the University of Colorado, said researchers can reduce that concern by getting approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration, but such approval typically takes a long time. "You can do it," she said, "but you have to jump through hoops."
[MPP emphasis added]
With the Governor of Colorado signing a law allowing the state to fund up to $10 million for research into the medical benefits of marijuana, the state has demonstrated its ability to jump through the federal government's "hoops." What remains now is the issue of eliminating the obstacles brought upon by the federal government in giving researchers the opportunity to investigate the benefits medical marijuana.
Petition to Obama: Remove Marijuana From the Schedule of Drugs
January 22nd, 2014In a profile published this week by The New Yorker magazine, President Barack Obama acknowledged the fact that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol for the consumer. Yet federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, a category the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers "the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules." It's time for that to change.
The Controlled Substances Act gives the executive branch, led by President Obama, the legal authority to remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs. That authority should be exercised immediately.
Please sign our Change.org petition calling on President Obama to remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs. Then share it widely with your friends and relatives, and encourage them to sign and share it, too.
The president clearly recognizes that marijuana is safer than alcohol — which is not a scheduled drug — so he should do everything he can to ensure our federal laws reflect that fact. Actions speak louder than words, and it's time for the president to take action.
Sign our petition now and tell President Obama to remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs. Marijuana is objectively less harmful than alcohol, and it is time for our government to start treating it that way.

18 thoughts from the weekend my son turned 18

Restaurant families
After more than three decades in the restaurant business, I know a few things. Some of the knowledge I've gained is related to food – how to make a buerre blanc or hollandaise and what to do with an excess of vegetables (frittata, risotto or soup).
I've learned about wine and spirits and the significance of all the minutia that is involved with creating an atmosphere that welcomes guests and makes them want to return. All of this is important to being successful in the hospitality industry but it pales in comparison to what I've come to know about people.
As a server my focus, naturally, is on my guests. I sincerely want those that I take care of to be happy and I have been so fortunate to be able to wait on some of the same people since my long ago undergraduate days. They've witnessed my life and the connection we share crosses our respective sides of the table to a place somewhere in the middle. Many of them know which nights I work and I do my best to recall who likes to sit where and which glass of wine they enjoyed last time they were in. We're familiar with one another.
Over the years, though, there have been situations which have proven that the most valuable thing I have learned about the restaurant business is that the people I have worked with are my family. We've shared annoyances, laughter and the stress of a life that is utterly unpredictable every single shift. At the end of the night, while counting money and emptying trash bins, we have connected over a glass of wine (or two) and then hugged good night before heading to our cars to return to our other families.
It's been a really tough couple of months for my family. The losses right now are so utterly outweighing triumphs and joys that my heart is echoing with absence. As we come together again to support one another, to embrace each other in love and sorrow during a time which feels impossibly tragic, the ability of our industry to create connections between people eclipses in importance any other aspect of the job.
Each shift on the floor comes with the guarantee of there being something new to witness or with which to contend. At this time of sadness, it is vital that we also remember with that same certainty that we are a family. Always.

Cool moms rock
In 2001, I accepted a librarian position at Mohonasen High School. Although I only remained in the district for three years (the position which I currently hold became available and I had to go for it), I made some wonderful friends, worked with some cool students and was introduced to some great music. One English teacher, if you can imagine, during my brief tenure exposed me to Jeff Buckley, Wilco and the White Stripes. Talk about getting an education!
My middle son was a toddler when I got a bootleg of the White Stripes' Elephant and the song Seven Nation Army quickly became one of the songs he always requested in the car. Repeatedly, of course. It didn't matter because I wanted to hear it, too. Loud.
Fast forward a dozen years or so, New York City, that same son and I walking up 7th Avenue. We were on our way to catch Jack White at Madison Square Garden… My son is tall, maybe 6'1″ and he looks comfortable. It's the third weekend in January that he's been in the city and it shows in his confident stride. He's got a new phrase he's been running recently, "you be you," he says. I love it.
I think I was 15 at my first show at the Garden, just like he is. Unlike Griffin, I never went to a rock show with my mother, not even in my imagination. Never. I understand that taking your kid to an adult-ish sort of venue can define one as a "cool" mom, and it's a term I'm okay with except for the fact that I think it's too small of a name.
You see, I take my kid(s) places that we both want to go because I'm a person who has interests. When my sons and I share experiences together we always learn something – about each other, ourselves, something. I love my sons, even adore them at times, but they aren't my entire world. They're who I want to share my world with. That's what I want my children to take away from our outings and shows, trips and vacations.
As far as Friday night's show in NYC, it was very much like time spent with my guys – really fun and not quite as much as I would have liked. Absolutely memorable.
Getting educated – 500 miles worth of lessons
Three day weekends should leave those fortunate enough to have had 3 consecutive days off feeling relaxed and satisfied. There definitely were some moments during the 72 hours which prompted some pretty positive emotions, but the overwhelming sensation I'm experiencing right now is simple exhaustion.
As I am inclined to do, I scheduled the weekend pretty tightly. My agenda included a ski, some yoga, a house party or two, and a whole lotta driving the Lilly boys where they wanted to go. All in all, the weekend was a success, but not everything went as planned. I mean, really, does it ever?
Lesson 1. Plans need to come with alternatives, options and flexibility. Sometimes the unexpected is welcome, like running into someone special at a party. Those are the moments we've got to hold on to.
Saturday I dropped my middle son off at the train station in Poughkeepsie. I resisted the impulse to get out of the car and walk inside with him to help him get his ticket and find the right track for NYC. Griffin's independent trip to Grand Central Station was the second leg on his journey to his first show at the Beacon. Upon his arrival in the city, he met his older cousin and he went to see a jam band that his father assures me I would have hated. He loved it.
Lesson 2. My children are growing up and I need to encourage the pursuit of entertainment and adventure, even if the thought of sending my 15 y/o son to Manhattan solo is scary. It's time.
Sunday, my oldest child took the train from Albany to meet me in Poughkeepsie (I had spent the night with friends nearby). We immediately got on the road for an epic trip to Elmira College for a Monday morning tour. The roads were insanely icy as the rain fell on highways that were ever so cold and the drive took much longer than expected. After our visit on Monday, Liam decided that while Elmira had a lot to offer, it was probably too far away from his family for him to continue considering it as an option for the fall.
Lesson 3. Often the road to where we want to get to is treacherously slippery. Sometimes, once we arrive we find that the place isn't really where want to be. The thing is, you'll never know unless you make the trip.

Dog years and the passage of time
The youngest of my "boys" recently celebrated his first birthday and, while the occasion was a happy one to mark, I also noted the date with a tinge of sadness. That year certainly went quickly. When I thought about the number of years we got to love Cassidy (12.5) and started doing simple math in my head, I got a bit melancholy considering how few more years we can expect Jeter to be our baby. It simply doesn't feel like nearly enough.
I don't dwell on the lack of how much time remains, but I do find myself conscious of it. I've been thinking a lot about time recently. The older I get, the more I value it. What to do with my time and who to spend it with are two of the most important decisions I make each day. What once seemed infinite has definitely evolved into being one of life's most precious gifts. It's true, time is a present and I've vowed to become even more discriminating about how I use it.
When it comes to time, how long are you willing to invest in someone? What length of time would you give a person to show you their very best? A week? A year? Or, are you of the mindset that we're all works in progress and it is acceptable to wait forever? It's a tough call, one we each have to make (and live with) ourselves.
How do we ever know if we've done the right thing(s) with our time? As my oldest son gets ready to make decisions about where to continue to his education and to leave home, I wonder how the time of our living under the same roof went by so remarkably fast. Is he ready? Did his father and I sufficiently prepare him for what comes next? Was our time together well spent?
Is there a way to ever truly know? Or, maybe a means to just slow down the clock?
15 for 2015
- To run for my own pleasure without measure.
- To get out once or twice a month for the sole purpose of being social without the crutch of working.
- To eat quality food and drink copious amounts of water.
- To strive to get Jeter out and active as much as possible.
- To live an honest life.
- To both smile and cry more often.
- To keep practicing yoga.
- To read more "classics" to expand my cultural knowledge.
- To embrace the moment as frequently as possible.
- To remain cognizant of motion. Things may not always seem to move forward, but when they start moving backwards it probably is time to let go.
- To not settle for less than I want – or deserve.
- To love fiercely and tenderly.
- To learn more handy woman skills.
- To continue recording my journey.
- To understand and accept that what I want may not be possible, but what I have is pretty damn remarkable.
Laboring on Christmas Eve
Not to take anything away from Mary, but I did my share of work yesterday, too. The morning began with tending to two loaves of bread, prepping the ultimately fantastic beef roast and driving a friend to the airport, all prior to attending a 10:00 yoga class.
After the sweaty release of 75 minutes of hot yoga and a grande latte, things really got busy. There was brioche dough to make for Christmas morning cinnamon rolls along with sugar cookie dough for a (I swear!) last round of baking. And laundry. And a joyous dog walk/run with Jeter which required a follow-up bath for him and a bathroom scrubbing for me. My final exertions, sweeping, vacuuming, and getting vegetables ready to accompany dinner complete, I made myself a bourbon sour and stepped into the clean shower to wash away the efforts of the day.
The house was filled with the aroma of beef stuffed with garlic, parsley and horseradish roasting and the boys had set the table with festive linens and holiday tableware. I sliced some of the beautiful bread I had baked earlier and prepared to sit down, confident that I had remembered every last detail. Until I smelled smoke. I first looked in the kitchen, but there was nothing out of the norm there. Next stop: the dining room where I found a very different story.
The bread basket had apparently been placed too close to a candle and the wicker basket, linen napkin and nearby placemat were all on fire. This was not a smoldering, it was a full-out flaming situation and I instinctively scooped up the entire mess and hastily made for the sink, yelling for some assistance from the boys. The flames were quickly doused and I headed back to the dining room to survey the damage, duly noting the freshly charred area which will perennially mark Quinn's place at the table.
After the excitement passed, I confessed to Griffin that I wasn't sure if I had reacted appropriately. Was picking up the flaming stuff and making for the kitchen the right thing to do? Should I have addressed the situation differently? He looked at me and asked "Did you put the fire out? Is anything else destroyed?" When I admitted that there had been no further damage, he assured me that I had done exactly what needed to be done at precisely the right time.
Which kind of brings me back to Mary and Joseph and that manger. Maybe if we keep our eyes open for guidance, be it from the brightest star in the sky or a wise young man (or 3) it really will all be fine. Merry Christmas.

The remedy against gun violence
The remedy against gun violence
Jan 21, 2013
"There are complex, hand-wringing-worthy problems in our social life: deficits and debts and climate change. Gun violence, and the work of eliminating gun massacres in schools and movie houses and the like, is not one of them. Gun control works on gun violence as surely as antibiotics do on bacterial infections. In Scotland, after Dunblane, in Australia, after Tasmania, in Canada, after the Montreal massacre—in each case the necessary laws were passed to make gun-owning hard, and in each case… well, you will note the absence of massacre-condolence speeches made by the Prime Ministers of Canada and Australia, in comparison with our own President.
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2012/12/the-simple-truth-about-gun-control.html#ixzz2IbQFLUv9Read more:The laws differ from place to place. In some jurisdictions, like Scotland, it is essentially impossible to own a gun; in others, like Canada, it is merely very, very difficult. The precise legislation that makes gun-owning hard in a certain sense doesn't really matter—and that should give hope to all of those who feel that, with several hundred million guns in private hands, there's no point in trying to make America a gun-sane country."

I'm originally Finnish, but currently living in Berlin, Germany. Before Berlin I lived in San Francisco for a few years. I work as a all-around designer and illustrator, currently a happy freelancing one. I like good food, going to music shows and overall I'm quite laid back.
Arto has completed online and offline ID verification.
I loved how self sufficient Arto and his friend were They seemed to know all the cool places to go: Trinidad beach hiking in an afternoon shower, the Finnish Sauna, Co-Op for local wine and cheese, clubbing at night! They had their finger on the pulse! Great guests. Come back anytime. I would have liked to make the breakfast but when they came down for check out they were ready to hit the road for home. Maybe next time...
It was great to have Arto stay with us. He was good fun to have around! He was super chilled, quickly familiarized himself with the apt and didn't need much from us. He was clean, tidy and quiet so all in all - a great guest!
Arto is a great guest. Super chilled and fun. It was so good having him stay for one week that he even stayed another! He's clean, quiet and respectful of the apt.

Bishop leaving Vt. after trying tenure
ROCHESTER, N.Y. The Roman Catholic bishop who oversaw the settlement of dozens of priest sex-abuse cases in Vermont and the sale of prime church property to help pay for those settlements was appointed Wednesday to be the next bishop of the Diocese of Rochester.
During a meeting with the news media, Bishop Salvatore Matano said the sex-abuse cases were painful for everyone involved and that he would focus on bringing people back to the church.
I hope we will be able in some small way to bring back our brothers and sisters estranged from the church who no longer worship among us, said Matano, currently the bishop of the Diocese of Burlington, which includes the entire state of Vermont.
I pray that those who hear these words, if you are not practicing the faith, please come home, come home, we miss you. Come home, the Lord is awaiting you, he said.
Matanos appointment as the bishop of Rochester was announced by the Vatican. He will assume his new duties in January.
Before being named Burlington bishop in 2005, the 67-year-old native of Providence, R.I., held church posts in Washington and his hometown.
During his years in Burlington, Matano oversaw the settlement of dozens of priest sex-abuse cases, most involving a priest who served in Vermont during the 1970s. To help pay the $29.6 million in settlements reached during his tenure, the church sold some of its most valuable property.
The property included the churchs former Burlington headquarters, the last undeveloped piece of property in the city overlooking Lake Champlain, and Camp Holy Cross on the lakes Malletts Bay.
In Rochester, Matano will replace Bishop Emeritus Matthew H. Clark, who led the diocese for 33 years before retiring in July 2012.
The Rochester Diocese has about 300,000 worshippers in more than 100 parishes from Rochester to the Pennsylvania state line, including the Finger Lakes region.MORE IN Vermont NewsISLAND POND Two large maple syrup producers are setting up operations in the Northeast Kingdom...

United States: Regression in treatment of gender-related persecution asylum claims
In 2002, a report titled Refugee Women at Risk called attention to several acute challenges facing women seeking asylum in the United States. Published by the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (now Human Rights First), Refugee Women at Risk illustrated how restrictive provisions in a 1996 immigration law, the "Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act", undermined the United States' commitment to offer protection to those fleeing persecution. Refugee Women at Risk highlighted how barriers that the 1996 law created for all asylum seekers interposed particularly significant and even insurmountable obstacles to women fleeing violence and oppression, principally through policies of expedited removal, detention of asylum seekers, and the one-year filing deadline for asylum claims.
In the seven years since the release of Refugee Women at Risk, numerous reports have decried the injustice inherent in the expedited removal process (let alone its expansion); the escalating use of prison-like detention and worsening detention conditions; and the harsh implications of the one-year filing deadline that deny some refugees any protection at all and grant others only temporary forms of protection. Reports have also critiqued other chronic shortcomings of the US asylum system, such as vast disparities in asylum adjudications rendered by overburdened Immigration Judges across the country.
Over this period, too, advocates have seen a disturbing stagnation and even some regression in the United States' treatment of asylum claims by women and girls seeking protection from gender-related persecution, such as female genital mutilation, forced marriage and severe domestic and sexual violence. While the United States first recognized gender-related persecution as a valid basis for asylum in 1995, draft regulations proposed in 2000 have yet to be revised and finalized. Without clear and binding guidance to resolve the novel and complex issues that asylum claims by women and girls have raised, today, in 2009, inconsistent and incoherent decision-making around the country is taking this field of law dangerously off-course, preventing women and girls fleeing persecution from receiving fair treatment and true justice in the United States.
The Tahirih Justice Center has been dedicated since its founding in 1997 to promoting justice for women and girls seeking asylum in the United States, through both client representation and public policy advocacy. While many of our clients have successfully secured a grant of asylum, others have been forced to accept lesser forms of protection, and all of Tahirih's asylum clients have faced substantial challenges in their quest for a new life in the United States free of violence and oppression.

How to Make Laptop Speakers Louder:
Sometimes, you can make all the difference in the world of sound by simply increasing the volume level on your laptop speakers. Since portable computers are traditionally constructed to be much smaller than their desktop counterparts, their amplifiers are also fittingly made to be housed in proportion within the unit. Stop the unnatural leaning forward to "hear it all" and begin to sit up straight and tall while listening to the powerhouse sound of your laptop by following these easy steps- Ensure that the sound is actually turned up by adjusting your visible hardware volume dial on your computer. It is usually located in the front of most laptops
- Adjust the sound settings within your computer. From the Start menu, select "Control Panel."
- Select "Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices."
- Select "Change the Speaker Settings."
- Go to the "Volume" tab
- Click on the "Speaker Volume" button located under the Speaker Settings section
- Adjust the left and right speaker volume by moving the slider to the right of the scale from "Low" to "High."
- Click "OK" to save the settings
How to Fix Laptop Speakers:
Laptops are a technological wonder, especially when you consider that 45 years ago the smallest computers needed an entire room and an army of people to make the machines work. Nowadays we can take terabytes of stored data with us wherever we go with our laptop. However, one problem with laptops seems to be in the quality of the sound coming out of them. Sometimes it's just poor speakers, but resetting computer settings can help
- Click on the "Start" menu and select "Accessories" within All Programs. Open the System Tools folder
- Launch the System Restore application from the System Tools folder. This will open a welcome screen for the System Restore
- Click the first option that says "Restore my computer to an earlier time." Press the "Next" button on the bottom of the screen
- Choose the most recent point of restoration on the "Select a Restore Point" page by clicking on the bold dates and then one of the points in the right-side menu. Click "Next" to advance the Restore program
- Choose "Next" when System Restore asks for confirmation and let the restoration run through. Restart your computer when the restore finishes
- Select the Administrator account and enter the administrator password. You will see a screen asking you to confirm the restoration. Choose the "OK" button
