        My ring is insured through Allstate as well. We recieved a discount for insuring the car, the apartment and the ring all through the same compnay. I think we pay an extra $3 or $4 a month for the ring insurance.

          Also ask your insurance agent questions about what is covered and what is not. Some will only cover the ring if its lost in the home or have other stipulations. I actually added it as "scheduled" item and this covers the entire ring no matter where its lost or stolen. It costs a bit more, but you never know when things can happen.

            I finally got insurance for my e-ring! I can't believe I've waited this long. Anyway I bought it from Jewelers Mutual - I like the idea of a company that specializes and has no deductible. Anyway, for those of you who haven't done this yet - just a friendly reminder!

              We haven't had to file a claim for it - thank god!! But basically I think the standard rule is to have it on your homeowners/renters ins. You may even want to just go through your current policy to see what they cover, any stipulations, deductibles etc. Then see if you want to change to a different/better plan?
              My friends husband got hers under USAA (hes Navy too). He also has his credit cards insured as well. One day they lost about 700 us dollars worth of stuff on the train and all he had to do was call the up and they cut the check the next day!
              My ring is going to be under my FI's home owners insurance in the US. State Farm or something.

BAD idea) anyway, one of our friends has had his diamond fall out 3 times, and every single time they replace it with practically NO questions asked and his rate has never increased.
                I checked this place out. Their rates start at $50 per year for a $5000 ring. It varies on where you live. You can also make it cheaper by having a deductable.

                My friend who is visting has a beautiful royal ascher ring. I love her ring. We were talking about insurance & she said she was told it was so expensive that in a few years you had spent as much as the ring costs. I guess the person who told her that had gotten a bad quote.

    Hi ladies,

    I'm feeling a bit panicked right now. My dress is an off white/diamond white and is gorgeous. Unfortunately, it still isn't in and I was afraid that I would run out of time so I went ahead and bought a veil. My bridal consultant insisted I purchase an ivory veil because a white veil will obviously be very white in comparison to my dress. It's a lace trimmed fingertip veil and after seeing many photos of previous brides, I'm afraid that the color difference will be noticeable! Has anyone purchased or worn an off white dress and ivory veil? Do you have pics? Am I worrying for no reason?! I am feeling a bit crazy right now! Help!

      Off white is darker than diamond white. It is better to wear a veil lighter in shade than darker if it doesn't match the color of your wedding dress exactly. I have personally seen white veil with darker shade dresses and it looks gorgeous. I personally would not match the veil to my dress unless it the color is really exceptional. White veil with any color wedding dress as long as it is close to white or has a combination color with white/off-white. There is a reason you feel uncomfortable, go with your gut. Go white! I make veils and assist in wedding color coordinations and programs.

Genesis 44:18-47:27 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Parashat Vayigash

Judah Pleads for Benjamin

18 Then Judah approached him and said, “I beg your pardon, my lord. Please let your servant say a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t be angry with your servant, since you are like Pharaoh. 19 My lord asked his servants saying, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’ 20 So we said to my lord, ‘We have a father who is old, a child born to him of his old age is young. Now his brother is dead, so he is the only one of his mother’s children left, and his father loves him.’ 21 Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can look at him.’ 22 But we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave his father, he would die.’ 23 Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you won’t see my face again.’

24 “Now when we went up to your servant, my father, we told him my lord’s words. 25 Then our father said, ‘Go back, buy us a little grain for food.’ 26 So we said, ‘We won’t go down unless we have our youngest brother with us—then we’ll go down. For we won’t see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’

27 “Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You yourselves know that my wife bore me two sons. 28 One went out from me, so I said, “He must have been torn to shreds,” and I haven’t seen him since. 29 And if you also take this one away from before me and an accident happens to him, then you’ll bring my grey hair down to the evil of Sheol.’

30 “Now if I come to your servant my father and the boy isn’t with us, since his life is bound to his life, 31 when he sees that the boy is no more, he’ll die. Then your servants will bring the grey hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in grief. 32 For your servant became pledge for the boy with my father saying, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before my father all my days.’ 33 So now, please let your servant remain as my lord’s slave in the boy’s place, and let the boy go up with his brothers. 34 For how can I go up to my father and the boy is not with me? Else I must see the evil that would come upon my father!”

Joseph Reveals Himself

45 Now Joseph could no longer restrain himself in front of all those who were standing by him, so he cried out, “Get everyone away from me!” So no one stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. But he gave his voice to weeping so that the Egyptians heard, and Pharaoh’s household heard. Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” And his brothers were unable to answer him because they were terrified at his presence.

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” So they came near. “I’m Joseph, your brother—the one you sold to Egypt,” he said. “So now, don’t be grieved and don’t be angry in your own eyes that you sold me here—since it was for preserving life that God sent me here before you. For there has been two years of famine in the land, and there will be five more years yet with no plowing or harvesting. But God sent me ahead of you to ensure a remnant in the land and to keep you alive for a great escape. So now, it wasn’t you, you didn’t send me here, but God! And He made me as a father to Pharaoh, lord over his whole house and ruler over the entire land of Egypt.

“Go up quickly to my father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son, Joseph: God has made me lord over all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t delay. 10 Then you’ll live in the land of Goshen, and be close to me, you and your children and your children’s children, your flocks and your cattle, and everything that belongs to you. 11 I’ll provide food for you there—for the famine will last another five years—otherwise you’ll lose everything, you and your household, and everything that belongs to you.’ 12 And look, you and my brother Benjamin can see with your own eyes that it’s my mouth that’s speaking to you. 13 You must tell my father about all my honor in Egypt, and about all that you’ve seen. And you must quickly bring my father down here.”

14 Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept while Benjamin wept upon his neck, 15 and he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them. Finally after this, his brothers talked with him.

16 When the commotion was heard in Pharaoh’s house—“Joseph’s brothers have come!”—it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, 17 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers: ‘Do this! Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan. 18 Then get your father, your households, and come to me. I’ll give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’ 19 You are also commanded to say: “Do this! Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little children and for your wives, and pick up your father and come. 20 Don’t be concerned about your goods, because the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21 So the sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them carts by Pharaoh’s command and he gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To each of them he gave a change of clothes, while to Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of clothes. 23 Also to his father he sent the following: ten donkeys carrying from the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and food and provisions for his father’s journey. 24 Then he sent his brothers off, and as they departed, he said to them, “Don’t be anxious on the way.”

25 Then they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father. 26 They told him saying, “Joseph is still alive and he is ruler of the whole land of Egypt!”

His heart went numb, for he did not believe them. 27 But they told him all of Joseph’s words that he had told them. When he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to pick him up, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I must go and see him, before I die.”

Jacob Goes to Egypt

46 So Israel set out, along with everything that belonged to him. When he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. In visions of the night God said to Israel, “Jacob, Jacob.”

Hineni,” he said.

“I am God, the God of your father,” He said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will turn you into a great nation there. I Myself will go down with you to Egypt and I Myself will also most certainly bring you up. Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.”

Then Jacob arose from Beersheba and Israel’s sons carried Jacob their father, their little children, and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. They also took their livestock and their possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan and they came to Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him. His sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his offspring, he brought with him to Egypt. Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Jacob’s firstborn, Reuben, and Reuben’s sons: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. 10 Simeon’s sons: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zochar and Shaul the son of the Canaanite woman. 11 Levi’s sons: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. 12 Judah’s sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah. Er died along with Onan in the land of Canaan. Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul. 13 Issachar’s sons: Tola, Puvah, Iob and Shimron. 14 Zebulun’s sons: Sered, Elon and Jahleel. 15 These are Leah’s sons whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, along with his daughter Dinah. The tally of all of his sons and daughters was 33 people.

16 Gad’s sons: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli. 17 Asher’s sons: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. Beriah’s sons: Heber and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter. She bore these to Jacob: 16 people.

19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt—Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On bore them to him. 21 Benjamin’s sons: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard. 22 These are Rachel’s sons who were born to Jacob. The tally of all the people was 14.

23 The sons of Dan: Hushim 24 Naphtali’s sons: Yachzeel, Guni, Yezer and Shillem. 25 These are the sons of Bilhah whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter and she bore these to Jacob. The tally of all the people was seven. 26 All the people belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—those coming from his loins (not counting the wives of Jacob’s sons)—the tally of all the people was 66. 27 The sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt was a tally of two people. The tally of all the people belonging to Jacob’s house who came to Egypt was 70.

28 Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph to show him the way to Goshen. When they came to the land of Goshen, 29 Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as he appeared before him, he fell upon his neck, and wept on his neck for some time.

30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “At this time I am ready to die, after seeing your face in person—for you’re still alive!”

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I’ll go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me. 32 The men are shepherds, for they’ve been men who handle livestock, who have brought their flocks and cattle and everything that they possess.’ 33 So when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’ 34 you must say, ‘Your servants have been men who handle livestock since the time of our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you can live in the land of Goshen, because every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians.”

Jacob Blesses Pharaoh

47 Then Joseph came and informed Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers and their flocks and their cattle and everything that belongs to them have come from the land of Canaan, and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”

From among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?”

So they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers.” Then they said to Pharaoh, “We came to dwell temporarily in the land, since there is no pasture for the flocks that belong to your servants, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”

Pharaoh said to Joseph saying, “Your father and your brothers came to you. The land of Egypt is before you—settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any capable men among them, make them overseers of the livestock—over those that are mine.”

Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. Pharaoh asked Jacob, “How many days are the years of your life?”

Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourn are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life. Moreover, the days of the years of my life have not attained the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojourn.”

10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh’s presence. 11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, just as Pharaoh commanded. 12 And Joseph supported his father and his brothers and his father’s entire household with food for the mouths of the little ones.

Joseph’s Leadership in the Famine

13 Now there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe. Both the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain that they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 15 Then the money of the land of Egypt and of the land of Canaan ran out and all of Egypt came to Joseph saying, “Give us food. Why should we die in front of you because the money is gone?”

16 Joseph said, “Give your livestock and I’ll give it to you for your livestock, if the money is gone.” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph and Joseph gave them food in exchange for horses, for flocks of sheep, for herds of cattle and for donkeys. He provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year. 18 When that year came to an end, they came to him in the second year and said to him, “We won’t hide from my lord that the money has run out and the livestock and the domestic animals are my lord’s. There is nothing left in my lord’s sight except our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we die before your eyes—both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food—we and our land will become Pharaoh’s slaves. Provide seed so that we may live and not die, and the land won’t be deserted.”

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh because the Egyptians, each one, sold his field, for the famine overcame them. Thus the land became Pharaoh’s. 21 He made the people slaves from one end of Egypt’s border to the other. 22 Only he did not buy the land belonging to the priests, because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they ate their allotment that Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you, so that you can sow the land. 24 During the harvest you must give a fifth part to Pharaoh and four-fifths will be for you, for seed for the field and for your food, and for those in your houses, and for food for your little ones.”

25 “You’ve saved our lives,” they said. “We find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we’ll be Pharaoh’s slaves.” 26 So Joseph set it as a statute until this very day concerning the land of Egypt: a fifth-part goes to Pharaoh. Only the priests’ land did not become Pharaoh’s.

27 Meanwhile, Israel settled in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, acquired property in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.

The Story

Blakes is probably the most excitingly fashionable small hotel in the world. It was conceived by Anouska Hempel when the 'couture' hotel did not exist. Timeless and beautiful since its opening in 1978, it plays the balance of Anouska Hempel’s theatrical excess and warm hospitality.

Through the doors of this Chelsea hotel in London, is a sensual and esoteric place of unconventional luxury. Blakes is a world within a hotel: it exudes luxury with imagination; fine living with a sense of drama and panache.

Adored by those who desire unapologetic beauty. A preciously guarded secret address in the world of fashion, film, music and art. The person who loves Blakes is as individual as the hotel.

A home for the free spirit. The desire for serenity and the lust for hedonistic abandon. Blakes understands the changing mood and responds instinctively. Blakes is the understanding that a hotel is not simply a convenient place to rest. Time spent in a great hotel is the making of precious, if occasionally hazy, lifetime memories.

Throughout the rooms one finds the glow of beauty, softly shimmering in shadows and half-light, a world to get lost in.

One of the most unique design hotels in London, Blakes is an altar to the ritual of languid, animal grace. A station of the fourth world where the fragrant essence of Chinoiserie floats calmly alongside high octane rock and roll misbehaviour. A beautiful, lush and secluded garden. Tranquility away from the city. An oasis to soothe the soul.

The song of lovebirds. Blakes is this but also understands the need to wear shades for dinner at midnight. The joy of walking, tired, away from the glorious debris of the night and waking to the soft return to pristine, tranquil calm. All concealed within the imposing enigma of those dark walls.

Enigmatic elegant drama. Imposing, dark architecture offers the first allure of secrecy. Confident and understated. A bold gesture that keeps out as many people as it seduces.

London is a world class shopping city. We recommend nearby Knightsbridge, as its home to the best department stores in the world; Harrods and Harvey Nichols will keep you busy for hours with gastronomic delights, designer wear and shoes.

For individual exclusive boutiques we would recommend a stroll down Sloane Street and king’s road. Have lunch at Daphne’s on Walton Street. Once you have had a little rest and recovery check out the Conran shop and Josephs flagship boutique which stocks the seasons most coveted designers; Celine, Isabel Marant, Pucci, Alaia.

Sloane Street – A fashionable shopping street, especially the Knightsbridge section, which is known informally as Upper Sloane Street. Since the 1990s Sloane Street's status has increased further, and it is now on a par with Bond Street, which has been London's most exclusive shopping street for two centuries. The street has flagship branches for many of the world's most famous brands in fashion.

Knightsbridge – Notable as an ultra-expensive residential area, and for the density of its upmarket retail outlets such as Harrods, the legendary luxury department store famous for fine luxury shopping and its food hall and Harvey Nichols a favourite with fashionistas. Knightsbridge is identified in the London Plan as one of two "international centres" of retailing in London, alongside the West End.

Bond Street – The most exclusive street in London with the highest concentration of high fashion boutiques from Mulberry and Burberry the typical British flagship stores, it also has Prada, Louis Vuitton, Donna Karan, Armani, Nicole Fahri, Versace and Gucci stores, the distinctive Ralph Lauren building and other prestigious brand names such as Cartier and Tiffany.

The King's Road - Where famous faces are regularly seen along this fashionable road. The area was made famous by a lively local scene during the 'swinging '60s' and punk fuelled seventies. For fashion, the King's Road offers High Street regulars such as Jigsaw, French Connection and Benetton coupled with a number of one-off boutiques and designer stores exuding sartorial elegance.

East London shopping -  The emergent fashion hub for creative, independent and luxury designers. Below are Blakes highlighted shopping hot spots.

Brick Lane Market - The ambience rather than student-grunge abounds but one thing's guaranteed, you can still pick up bargains at this famous Sunday market. Vintage fans should head for Cheshire Street for stores such as the discerning House of Vintage UK and the huge warehouse Beyond Retro. The Laden Showroom showcases young, independent designers.

Spitalfields Market - Once home to London's wholesale fruit and veg market, this airy hall is now a temple to hip shopping with lots of small, independent stalls inside and more established designer names outside. Sundays are liveliest, with more specialist traders attending on Thursdays (antiques and vintage) and Fridays (fashion and art).

Redchurch Street -Connecting Brick Lane with Shoreditch High Street, Redchurch Street is lined with small design boutiques and coffee shops.

Shonda Rhimes Signs With Netflix, Leaving ABC Studios

Posted by August 14, 2017 Comment

shonda rhimes netflix

Television producer, screenwriter and author Shonda Rhimes has signed a multi-year production deal (rumored to be for four years) with streaming service giant Netflix, according to The Wall Street Journal and several other media outlets.  Rhimes’ deal essentially ends her 15-year relationship with ABC Studios that yielded hits like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder.

“Shondaland’s move to Netflix is the result of a shared plan Ted and I built based on my vision for myself as a storyteller and for the evolution of my company. Ted provides a clear, fearless space for creators at Netflix. He understood what I was looking for — the opportunity to build a vibrant new storytelling home for writers with the unique creative freedom and instantaneous global reach provided by Netflix’s singular sense of innovation. The future of Shondaland at Netflix has limitless possibilities,” explained Rhimes in a prepared statement.

Though Rhimes will still continue to be involved in her current series, her production company Shondaland will begin producing new series for Netflix as part of the deal. Executive producer Betsy Beers (The Catch) will also be coming on board with Rhimes as part of the structured deal. Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder will continue as part of ABC’s programming schedule; and the mid-season series For The People as well as the as-yet-untitled Grey’s Anatomy spin-off that were scheduled for ABC will also not be impacted by the new deal.

For Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix, it was about the importance of adding Rhimes’ unique artistic vision to the streaming network’s line-up of creative talent:

“Shonda Rhimes is one of the greatest storytellers in the history of television. Her work is gripping, inventive, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, taboo-breaking television at its best. I’ve gotten the chance to know Shonda and she’s a true Netflixer at heart -— she loves TV and films, she cares passionately about her work, and she delivers for her audience. We’re so excited to welcome her to Netflix.”

Broker's Comments

This Westerly Centaur comes with a recent positive survey. She’s neat and tidy and comes with quite a bit of extra equipment (Webasto fridge, dinghy, outboard, life raft, etc). Recent sails and rigging add to the attraction and so does the fact that the boat was fully rewired in 2011. Extensive records exist reflecting the work done to the boat over the past 15 years. The boat is ready to sail: step aboard and go! British flag. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

En este Westerly Centaur, un perito ha hecho un informe positivo hace poco. Es un barco limpio y recogido y se entrega con un monton de extras (nevera Webasto, auxiliar, fueraborda, balsa salvavidas, etc). Añadimos velas y jarcia recientes y el hecho que el barco ha sido recableado en el 2011 como elementos atractivos. Existe un historial de todos los trabajos hechos a borde de los últimos 15 años. El barco está listo para navegar. Bandera inglesa. Nota: se pueden considerar contra-ofertas.

"True Colors" of Fett, Clone Troopers at bookstores

Published (Updated ) • Written by • Filed under Collectibles

The third book in the Republic Commando series, based on the LucasArts video game, is Karen Traviss' latest take on the clone trooper "relatives" of Boba Fett. But fans are split: is all the attention making Fett more human or less interesting?

Boba Fett has been in at least 28 novels/novellas/stories officially licensed by Lucasfilm. This is the third Fett fiction from Traviss: Hard Contact (2004), Triple Zero (2006) and now True Colors (October 31, 2007). A fourth book is already planned, called Order 66 (July 15, 2008).

True Colors is now available where books are sold, including BarnesAndNoble.com, where you can preview the book online.

Our own Sadriel_Fett already got his copy, so you can expect a brief review to come, here or on our message board.

Robert Kroese’s amazing sense of irony was honed while growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is a home of the Gerald R. Ford Museum and Amway Corporation, and one of the first cities in the U.S to fluoridate its supply of water. In second grade, Robert Kroese wrote his first ever novel, saga of Captain Bill and the spaceship Thee Eagle. The novel turned out to become the high point in his academic career. After graduating from The Calvin College back in 1992 with a degree in philosophy, he was fired from different jobs before moving on to California, where he later stumbled into software development. Since this job required neither a sense of direction nor punctuality, he excelled very much at it. In 2009, Robert Kroese called upon his wide knowledge of love of explosions and useless information to write Mercury Falls, the first book in Mercury Series. Since then, Robert Kroese has 4 more books in the series.

Let’s now take a closer look at 2 early books in Mercury Series by Robert Kroese:

Mercury Falls

This is the first book in in Mercury Series by Robert Kroese. Mercury Falls is a great novel that tells the story of Christine. Christine is a journalist who is continually growing tired about her job writing in the apocalyptic cults who don’t seem to actually know what they are talking about. However, things later change when Christine meets cult the leader Mercury, the rogue angel and Karl who is the newly appointed Antichrist. Christine later realizes that the they should work together so as to stop the impending apocalypse.

Mercury Falls novel is an interesting read and the father fun at the same time. The novel portrays both heaven and hell as being a mass of despairingly complicated bureaucracy where the apocalypse is one agreed upon battle that’s set between heaven and the earth that was agreed to after a lot of years of legal fighting. The book is quite easy to read and you will find yourself breezing through the novel and enjoying different parts of the book that you’ll find to be inspired more so when it actually examines independent thought and the idea of free will.

The plot is quite interesting. Mercury Falls has been centered on the events of the Apocalypse. However, it isn’t just a boring, by-the-book apocalypse novel. In fact, in this apocalypse, Hell and Heaven are perennial adversaries that are bound together by the bureaucratic creep of the over-active legal systems.

Apocalypse shall only happen by a contract. Unless, that happens, Lucifer manages to get a loophole. The resulting hijinks have 2 humans (Anti-Christ and a “Person of The Apocalyptic Interest” whose condominium floor had been hijacked as the portal between the Earth and Satan’s army) being bounced in between demons, angels, demons-masquerading-as-the-angels, different planes of existence, and a “Free Agent” in form of Mercury.

You will thoroughly enjoy this book. Sarcasm is the integral part of what makes most people’s lives worthwhile, and the novel delivers this with a more dependability. The book’s plot is basically rife with a lot of twists and turns. Furthermore, there are several moments of pure surprise within the book. What will actually stand out to the reader is the fact that those plot twists will happen without showing any sense of letdown from the heavy-handed Deus machina attempt. Of course, whenever the subject matter of a novel is The Apocalypse and the characters include the miracle-working angels, these type of moments are possibly slightly less eyebrow raising as compared to the average Clancy novel. Mercury Falls is a great book that will keep you on your sit till the end.

Mercury Rises

This is the second book in the Mercury Series by Robert Kroese. Mercury Rises starts just where Mercury Falls (the first book)has ended. All the demons and angels have dispersed but there’s still a big crater in downtown Anaheim with FBI investigating.

Jacob Slater, the blast expert working with the FBI, is on the site and he promptly gets kicked out when he proposes that the people who were in this blast were transported to a different dimension. He is a scientist, although a reluctant one, and Jacob Slater was just throwing out his own idea but it does not go over well and he is eventually asked to leave. While wandering, Jacob gets sucked into a vortex which creates suspense for you to continue reading the story.

Fresh off a successful quest to thwart two diabolical plots about destroy the world, the jaded reporter Christine and rough cherub Mercury finally find that mysterious powers that outrank even the Heavenly bureaucracy and they seem intent on continue to keep the Apocalypse on track.

Mercury Rises continues Robert Kroese’s great tale of heroic cherub Mercury. Mercury is rarely well-behaved, well-intentioned, and always armed with the droll remark. While the current world is plagued by the natural disasters and countries prepare for war, Horace Finch, a crazed billionaire plots to use a secret devices hidden beneath African deserts to discover all the deepest secrets about the Universe – even if it will mean destroying the whole Universe so as to do it. Meanwhile, Jacob Slater, unassuming FBI investigator tries to get a rational explanation concerning the mysterious destructions of downtown Anaheim. This is a quest that eventually brings him face to face with Horace Finch. Together, Jacob , Mercury and Christine must stop Horace Finch from activating the devices and tearing reality into pieces.

Robert Kroese’s razor-sharp wit and rapid-fire sense of humor keep this novel moving at breakneck speed as it hurtles towards a climax that’s as funny and satisfying at the same time.

A sequel to the entertaining Mercury Falls, this novel gives readers a very insightful backstory about Mercury as well as his relationship to Tiamat who has vowed to make Lucifer’s rebellion to look like the toddler tantrum. By this time, you’ll certainly be seeing Satan kicking and screaming.

And who would’ve guessed the ark had the name? Noah makes a brilliant appearance together with his big boat and he has been-cooped-up with a family. You will also get to know what actually happened to the mystical creatures.

The apocalypse looms quite large again and the much-loved characters return. The installment in the Mercury’s story is rife and the plot lines move faster than the particle collider with a lot of twists and turns. Robert Kroese’s whimsical version of the Biblical events is just pure genius. However, will the world actually survive his next novel? Keep on reading this great series to find out how events unfold.

Ipsen plans to relocate R&D operations from Milford to Cambridge

Ipsen, a French pharmaceutical company that had about $1.62 billion in sales last year, said it plans to relocate its US research-and-development operations from Milford to Cambridge by the third quarter of 2014.

Ipsen added that it has signed an 11-year lease for 62,600 rentable square-feet of laboratory and office space within the 282,000 square-foot building located at 650 East Kendall St.

Currently, Ipsen has about 90 employees working in about 43,000 square feet of space in Milford.

The deal to lease space in Cambridge was brokered by Cresa Corporate Real Estate, and the property is owned by BioMed Realty Trust Inc., Ipsen said.

“Relocation to Cambridge represents a major leap forward for Ipsen’s R&D activities,’’ Claude Bertrand, the company’s executive vice president and chief scientific officer, said in a statement.

The move brings Ipsen closer to several key partners based in the Cambridge area, including prominent hospital centers, medical schools, biotech companies, and universities; the move will further promote and facilitate “partnerships and open innovation,’’ the company said in its press release.

Cynthia Sylvestre, who heads up Ipsen’s operations in Milford, said that Ipsen’s research focuses on peptide and toxin platforms. One niche area that the company specializes in is uro-oncology.

Sometimes in spite of everything we do, teeth are lost.  There are several ways to replace missing teeth and dental implant supported crowns are one of them. It is one of the best ways we have of conservatively restoring your teeth back to function when one or more teeth have been lost.

If many teeth, or all your teeth have been lost, dental implants can be used as retentive anchors for removable partial or complete dentures. Many people struggle with conventional removable partial and complete dentures due to denture instability, food trapping, sore spots and a lack of confidence in eating, talking and smiling.  Dental implants were initially designed to deal with one of dentistry’s biggest problems, the lower removable complete denture, and they provide a very predictable and satisfying solution.

A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant and the implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place.  Multiple implants can be used to support and retain removable dentures or partial dentures as well (as seen below).

If you are in good general health, have healthy gums and have enough bone in the jaw to hold an implant, dental implants might be right for you.

Implants are a smart, long-term solution for the right candidate. Due to the fusing process of the artificial root to the jaw bone, the results provide a strong, predictable result that can last for many years. To determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure, please contact our office or request an appointment here.

Top Conservative members are planning a party-themed festival which has been dubbed ‘Tory Glastonbury’.

Theresa May's policy chief George Freeman has raised £25,000 for a 'Conservative ideas festival' to be held in a rural location, hopefully every September.

There will be camping and inspirational talks, the party's answer to Jeremy Corbyn's rousing speech to festival-goers earlier this summer. Mr Freeman, a Tory MP in Norfolk, told the Financial Times: "Why is it just the left who have all the fun in politics?"

As you might have guessed, the event is a little different to your average left-wing music festival.

Jeremy Corbyn was given a warm welcome at Glastonbury

Despite the description being used widely, Mr Freeman insists the one-day event won't be like Glastonbury at all.

Instead it'll be a cross between the Hay-on-Wye literary festival and Latitude, branded "the UK's most unashamedly middle-class festival", as reported on the Mirror website.

Mr Freeman boldly says it will be like a "first rave - you'll remember who you brought". Except you probably won't, because the rural location will be kept secret to avoid protests from left-wing groups.

Revelers enjoy the sunset at Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm

And only 150 to 200 people will be there, all on an invitation-only basis - making it slightly smaller than the horde of 175,000 at Worthy Farm.

Ten MPs are working on the event, slated for the weekend before the Conservative Party Conference.

One Tory told the Financial Times the idea was “very trendy”, but he would need to be promised “a lot of expensive booze” before turning up.

Work to implement a major redesign of roads near Temple Meads station starts today - and is expected to last more than a year.

Roadworks for the remodelling of Temple Circus are expected to last until autumn next year. Bristol City Council hopes the scheme will give traffic travelling through the area a more direct route.

Preparation work begins on Monday but the main works will not start until July.

Buses affected by the work

Bus services through the area will also be affected. First managing director James Freeman said: “Bristol City Council have been working with us for many months to make sure we were well-informed about the Temple Gate roadworks.

“We will be monitoring the traffic situation closely and will react as best as we can. We do however advise passengers on the many services that operate to and from and past Temple Meads station to factor in some extra travel time, especially in the morning and evening rush hours.”

A Bristol City Council map of the Temple Gate improvement project

The bus routes affected are the 1,2,8,9,50,70,72 and 73 as well as the Brislington, Portway and Long Ashton Park and Ride services. The country services 28 and 39 to Keynsham, 39 and X39 to Bath, 177 and 178 to Midsomer Norton and Radstock, and the 376 to Wells, Glastonbury and Street are also affected.

'Long-lasting benefits'

Mr Freeman added: “It’s important to remind people that the regeneration of Bristol Temple Quarter will have long-lasting positive benefits for Bristol as a vibrant place to live and work.

“We expect the works, when complete, to result in smoother traffic flows through the area. As a result of the scheme, bus journeys will be more reliable and journey times through this part of the network will be reduced.”

A Bristol City Council map of the Temple Gate improvement project

The initial stage will involve the closure of the southern section of Temple Gate to restrict the number of vehicles in the area and allow traffic to flow more easily during the works. Traffic from the north will no longer be able to turn right in Victoria Street from Temple Way and traffic exiting from the Friary will no longer be able to turn into Temple Way or straight on to Victoria Street. Diversions will be signposted.

Bristol City Council has said the work is scheduled to avoid overlap with other major roadworks and pledged that two lanes of traffic will be kept open on Temple Gate during peak hours “as far as possible.”

Signe near Temple Meads warn drivers of disruption due to roadworks at Temple Gate and Temple Circus

Once completed Bristol City Council hope the Temple Gate scheme will provide:

• A more direct road layout by removing the Temple Circus roundabout and replacing it with a simplified junction

• High-quality pedestrian and cycle routes and a new single stage crossing from Brunel Mile to the station

• New and relocated bus stops and shelters with improved information and facilities for passengers

• Bus priority lanes to improve bus journey times and reliability into and around the city

• Changes to the Bath Bridge junction to improve pedestrian and cycle routes

• Space freed up for regeneration and renewal

The latest travel information will be available through Travelwest and .

Hundreds of employees in Bristol have been left in the dark as Wilko begins a redundancy consultation with nearly 4,000 staff.

The company is reorganising its business after pre-tax profits fell 80% to £5.1 million up to January 28 and the company is consulting with its 3,900 employees nationwide.

With stores in Kings Chase Shopping Centre, Broadwalk Shopping Centre and Union Street in Bristol, this news leaves several jobs in the city under threat.

The company says it has the goal of "delivering a better customer experience" in its shake-up, reports Somerset Live.

But this is the results of a tougher trading environment with the company hitting out at the National Living Wage, saying that it "was well above expected levels" and had really hit the retailer hard.

Retail Week has reported that the retailer, who is renowned for its purse pleasing products, has said that a level of supervision would be stripped out across all its stores. It has countered that though by saying that there would be 1,000 new senior roles created and a significant amount of customer service roles.

Anthony Houghton, Wilko retail director, said that the move was necessary to ensure "all retail operations are fit for the future".

Wilko and KFC on Union Street

He added that despite the amount of customers rising and efforts being made to reduce costs, the current landscape remains very challenging and this has meant to the lowering of profits.

The most recent accounts for Wilko shows that pre-tax profits had fallen by a huge 80 percent, in the year to January 28. This was largely due to a £12.9m jump in costs after the EU referendum led to a sterling slump.

Speaking about the changes to staffing, Mr Houghton said: "Legacy of retail structures that created complexity to manage which aren’t simple, fair or transparent for our team members.

"The simpler, newly defined store structure will give teams greater variety within their roles and result in more team hours on the shop floor, delivering a better customer experience".

Criminal defense made more difficult by long investigations

At times, police investigations can be long, arduous processes. While it can take time for the police to gather evidence and put together a case, they must not trample the rights of possibly innocent people in the process. In a criminal defense matter, if a defendant is under investigation for long periods of time, the specter of guilt may affect their ability to have a fair trial in Connecticut and elsewhere.

A strong Connecticut criminal defense requires preparation

When a defendant has a history with the criminal justice system, it can make any future case more difficult for them. The predisposition of the courts and prosecutors to assume that 'there must be something to it' can make it very challenging for defendants to get the system to hear their position and side. Even with that said, though, each and every defendant is entitled to a presumption of innocence in any subsequent case. A key to putting on an effective criminal defense in Connecticut in a case that has the potential for potential bias is understanding the law as well as possible.

Drug charges include drug factory in Connecticut firefighter case

The nature of a person's job can make getting charged with a crime even more difficult than it normally would be. When a person is given the public's trust in their position, it is expected that they will uphold the law. If a person is accused of breaking the law, the negative publicity for the involved department of government can be extreme, and in a case that involves serious allegations like drug charges, there may be an effort to resolve the issue quickly rather that in the most just manner possible

Drug charges in major Connecticut narcotics sweep

It seems to be increasingly common to see drug busts involving large numbers of accused individuals. In these cases, many different legal issues arise that may increase the complexity of trying such individuals when compared with cases that involve only one or two defendants. There is also often a conflict of interest that prevents defendants from working together in their defense. In a recent police investigation that resulted in drug charges against at least 20 people, the East Central Narcotics Task Force in Connecticut confiscated cocaine, drug paraphernalia, oxycontin, marijuana and other drugs and cash.

College Humor "If Google Was a Guy" Video Will Make You Laugh Out Loud

Have you ever deleted your internet history solely because of your ridiculous and embarrassing Google searches? Yeah, we’ve all been there. If not, then you clearly have a secret second computer. I’m on to you.

And did you ever wonder (in terror) what it would be like if someone was able to see all the Google searches you’ve ever made? Yes, including that time when you had to look up all those X-rated urban dictionary terms "for a friend" (#dirtysancho). Not to mention all those times you had to look up “angle versus angel” because seriously who remembers the difference? And that time you Googled Henry Cavil every day….and “shirtless Henry Cavil” three times a day….maybe even four. Let’s also not forget about how you enter your own name in the search engine once a week….and your crush’s, ex’s, and enemy’s name just as often. Everything that has ever lead you straight to WebMD? Yes, this omniscient person would see that too, butt warts and all.

So what if Google was a real person you had to talk to in order to complete your search? College Humor made a video asking that exact question. Be prepared to spam your Facebook friends with the hilarity that follows.

When Are The New NYX Liquid Suede Colors Coming Out? Get Excited For Bright Lips — PHOTO

Just in time for spring and summer, NYX Cosmetics is releasing 12 new Liquid Suede shades in exciting colors. You may be asking, when will the new NYX Liquid Suede shades drop? Have no fear, they'll be available to shop just in time for your summer makeup update! The brand confirmed to Bustle that the new colors will be coming out towards the end of May, and will be available to purchase on nyxcosmetics.com. So after April's showers bring May flowers, you'll have the chance to rock these stunning new shades, ranging from bright orange and blue to dark plum and nude.

When NYX Cosmetics first announced the release of the Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks, I, along with many other fans, was overjoyed at the fact that a quality drugstore brand was going to capitalize on the suede/matte lip trend. And when the products were finally released, they didn't disappoint. The creamy texture paired with a thick formula and intense color payoff make for an awesome lipstick.

It only takes a single glance to see how stunning the new shades are. NYX officially announced the reveal last night on Twitter and Instagram with this teaser photo. Check it out below.

The photo really, truly is a tease since you can only really see the shades in the middle. It seems like the brand really wanted to highlight the bright colors, including the navy, orange, pink, and blue. But I spy with my little eye dark browns, plums, and even nudes. So if you're not much of a bright lip person, there's a new Liquid Suede color for you, too!

Like the original Liquid Suede offerings, these new colors will cost $7 a pop. Compared to other liquid lipsticks, that's a major steal for such a quality product.

While there isn't a set release day yet, keep an eye on the NYX social media accounts (follow the brand on Instagram here and on Twitter here) in the coming weeks.

How To Make More Time For Friends When You Have A Busy Work Schedule

There's nothing worse than getting that, "when will I get to see you, stranger?" text from your best friend, especially when you're knee deep in the middle of a crazy work month. But there are ways you can make time for your friends when your schedule is busy that requires little to no sacrifice on your end. While the idea of working long shifts and then hopping over to happy hour to mingle might seem harrowing (there's only so much energy one person can have!) there are more ways to reconnect with your pals than meeting over martinis.

The bottom line is that friends are understanding. No one is going to fault you for kicking butt in your career, but when something is important to you, you make time. Whether that means sending random texts while waiting for the train or physically penciling them in for lunch every Wednesday, if there's a will you'll find a way. So step over the excuse of "I'm just so busy" and carve out some work-life balance for yourself. Below are 11 ways to make time for your friends when you're busy — go on and give yourself permission to reconnect and have fun!

1. Focus On Big Hangouts Rather Than Small Ones

It might seem bananas, but focusing on big shindigs will actually be easier than stressing out over little coffee dates. "Paradoxically, big get-togethers can be easier to prioritize than smaller ones," Laura Vanderkam, an business writer at entrepreneur site Fast Company, confirmed. Think about it: When you have a big meet up with friends at a fancy new restaurant, it becomes a priority. At the very least, its harder to blow off than a Netflix hang in someone's living room.

2. Send Them Random Notes Of Kindness

Friends don't fault you for slaying in your career — it just hurts if you forget them entirely. In order to curb that, send them sweet texts during down time to show them you're still connected and that you miss them. "I love just sending random little notes like 'Thinking of you' while I wait for someone or on the train etc — it literally takes 10 seconds and it means the world," Ané Auret, Dating and Relationship Coach, shares in an email interview with Bustle. The next time you're waiting for your laptop to boot, send out a quick text to your bestie.

3. Do Work Tasks Together

Bringing work home with you again? Invite your pal over and have a "productivity evening" together. "Going through your inbox with friends can be a creative way to make something painful actually fun. Read ridiculous subject lines and reminisce about your past, all while in the company of your BFFs," lifestyle writer Emily Mitchell at lifestyle site Verily Mag suggested. Just because you're working doesn't mean you have to shut them out.

4. Create A Recurring Hang Out

Trying to remeber those random happy hours with your friends can be stressful when your schedule is jam packed — but if you have a standing coffee date every Friday at three o'clock, that becomes part of your normal week. "One-off events take a lot of effort to plan. Recurring ones don’t," Vanderkam pointed out. So setup a date that will show up in both of your calendars week after week, and you'll have guaranteed quality time.

5. Invite Them Along To The Gym

Whether you go to a weekly yoga class or break a sweat on an elliptical, see if your friend wants to tag along to kill two birds with one stone. "Arrange for a friend to meet you at the track, trail, gym, or yoga studio, and check that exercise box together," Mitchell recommended. It'll make that hour more fun!

6. Invest In An Outing Ahead Of Time

It's hard to bail on an evening out if you've already paid for it, so when you make concrete plans with a pal buy what you need to ahead of time. "To make yourself more likely to go out and do something with a friend, take advantage of a Groupon or Living Social deal, or other prepaid offer. It’s harder to postpone a get-together or cancel plans when you’ve already spent the money," lifestyle writer Kate Antoniades of lifestyle site Corporette offered. Other things you can do is buy movie tickets the night before, or specifically agree to meet at a comedy show or concert so you're held accountable.

7. Go Right After Work

It might be hard to convince yourself to step out for drinks after a long day at work when you're already at home in your sweats, so to curb that reaction go out straight after work. "An object in motion stays in motion, so if you’re trying to squeeze in socializing on a Friday after a busy workweek, make sure not to stop at home first before going out (if possible)," Antoniades advised. Don't give yourself the excuse.

8. Cook Your Meals Together

If you're crazy busy, cooking for the week is a great help when it comes to your lunches and dinners. Invite your friends over for the activity and make a whole evening out of it. "Plan a cooking night together to catch up and create a delicious meal that will last you throughout the week," Mitchell offered. Not only will you get to chat for a couple of hours, but you can swap recipes.

9. Leave Yourself Reminders To Check In

If you're one to get swamped with your to-dos, make calling your friends another task on the list in order to not forget them completely. "Set calendar reminders to check in with your friends," Nicole Smartt, Vice President and co-owner of Star Staffing and contributor to Forbes, advised. When you see "call Stacey" on your check list, you'll be hard-pressed to skip over it.

10. Hustle With Your Weekend Tasks

Rather than leaving all your laundry, inbox cleaning, and cleaning for the weekend, hustle to get them finished during pockets of free time during the work week so you can have time for your friends. "Try to get more chores done on weeknights — laundry, bill paying, grocery shopping, etc. — so that you can feel better about socializing on a weekend day," Antoniades suggested. If you can make the time, why not take advantage of it?

11. Get A Little Choosey

If your schedule is packed to the gills, you don't really have the time to hang out with everyone and anyone who asks. Don't be afraid to turn away some people in order to make room for those that really matter to you. "Friendships should energize you, so when time is tight, it's best to invest your time and energy in the relationships you know already enrich your life," Vanderkam recommended. So while it might be nice to grab pizza with that one acquaintance, your best friend from college would much rather appreciate the carved out time.

While everyone can appreciate a busy work week, it's still totally doable to make time for your nearest and dearest!
