After Lochi died, the dog "joined mourners at her funeral service" according to locals and "followed after Maria's coffin" as it was carried into the church.

Tommy, a stray who was adopted by Lochi, has been showing up "when the bell rings out to mark the beginning of services" ever since.

"He's there every time I celebrate mass and is very well behaved," Father Donato Panna told the paper. "He doesn't make a sound."

None of the other parishioners has complained, Panna said, and villagers give the dog food and water and allow him to sleep nearby.

"I've not heard one bark from him in all the time he has been coming in," Panna added. "He waits patiently by the side of the altar and just sits there quietly. I didn't have the heart to throw him out—I've just recently lost my own dog, so I leave him there until Mass finishes and then I let him out."

A loyal dog whose owner died late last year has apparently been showing up for Mass every day for the last two months at the church where the funeral was held.

Thomas P. Lowe, 58, won't have a chance for reinstatement for at least a year and three months after the decision, filed Thursday, Jan. 10, by the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Lowe, an attorney since 1985, had known the client for many years. Both are from Valley City, N.D. The woman met with Lowe in August 2011 to discuss pursuing a divorce from her husband.

He agreed to represent her. During a phone call days later, Lowe asked about her sexual relationship with her husband, commented on her appearance and asked if she was interested in sex with him.

The following month, they began an affair that lasted until March. At various points, Lowe billed the woman for legal services on the dates of their sexual encounters, coding the time as meetings or drafting memos.

In March, after several arguments with the woman about the affair and his own marriage, Lowe said he was breaking things off. Two days later, he said he was withdrawing as her attorney.

That day, the woman, who was considered vulnerable because of past abuse and mental health treatment, tried to kill herself. While hospitalized, she disclosed the affair.

The Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility brought the petition against Lowe in July. He initially denied much of it, but now "unconditionally admits the allegations," according

to court filings. A man who answered the phone at Lowe's office Monday said Lowe was unavailable.

An Eagan lawyer is suspended indefinitely after having an affair with a client whom he represented in a divorce, then billing her for time they spent having sex.

Does everyone actually get it?

Even when this care label elaborates each symbol in such plain language, it's not very seldom that we still pay compensation for damaged guest's laundry due to neglect for the symbols. 

We've been so familiar with these labels that many of us don't even realize that there are also ones that print only symbols and speaks of nothing about them.

Use any of these care symbols as a visual pop up quize to any of your team members to gauge the level of risk your valet laundry service is facing.

The ignorance level is usually higher at properties that totally outsource their valet laundry service. If you do outsource the service, be sure to engage your supplier in establishing a short training on this 'trivial' subject on a regular basis.

Linen exchange cart

Linen exchange carts with adjustable/removable trays

Material: Hot dipped galvanized

Dimension: 60 x 90 x 170 (w x l x h)  www.fashiondisplayindo.com

Hotels in high rise buildings with only limited space to spare for housekeeping pantries will find this type of cart more helpful as opposed to traditional linen carts or trolleys. In addition to less foot prints and elevator friendly, its other advantage is being a mobile and exchangable linen shelf between linen room and floor pantries.

Clean linen is shelved and delivered to pantries on the cart in exchange for another cart from the pantries that's already loaded with soiled linen. Replenishing the linen shelves is now done at the linen room with this mobile shelves, not in the squashy pantries anymore.

Love does not limit, and what it creates is not limited. 

To give without limit is God’s Will for you, because only this can bring you the joy that is His and He wills to share with you. 

Your love is as boundless as His because it IS His.
