Rosie O'Donnell and 'wife' Tatum O'Neal catch some rays in Florida

EXCLUSIVE: Good day, sunshine! Rosie O'Donnell and 'wife' Tatum O'Neal finally catch some rays outside talk queen's $5million Florida vacation home

Rosie O'Donnell and Tatum O'Neal soaked up some Florida sunshine in beach chairs on SaturdayRosie took a dip in the pool while Tatum practiced yoga poses on the water's edgeTatum and Rosie are vacationing at Rosie's new waterfront home in West Palm Beach, FloridaThe house sits on 180 feet of waterfront and boasts a master suite with a soaking tub, vanities with built in televisions, a massage room and two walk in closetsDaily Mail Online revealed that Rosie and Tatum are a couple in love earlier this monthBy

The lovefest between Rosie O'Donnell and Tatum O'Neal continued Saturday as a long awaited break in the weather allowed the new couple to soak up some Florida sunshine after three days of being forced to stay mainly indoors due to heavy rain.

The two Ms O's took advantage of the beautiful day spending two hours out by the pool of Rosie's near $5 million waterfront mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida.

And the deposed talk show host and her former child star lover who have been together since early summer didn't care who saw them basking in the sun in full view of dozens of boaters who also took advantage of the Saturday sunshine to go up and down Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, many just yards from the celebrity lesbians.

'They weren't bothered at all by how many people were around,' said one person who was enjoying a day out on the water.

'They just plonked themselves down on their beach fake van necklace chairs and enjoyed the beautiful day.'

As Rosie, 53, took what could have been her first dip in the pool at the vacation home she bought in July, 51 year old Tatum practiced yoga poses first standing by the water's edge, and then in a seated position.

She then joined her lover in the heated pool for a few minutes before the couple both got out and laid out in the sun again.

Tatum was wearing a black sports bra and shorts, while Rosie opted for a one piece black swimsuit topped with mid thigh length black shorts.

Rosie, who spends most of her time at her home in Nyack, New York, went down to her second home earlier this week and Tatum flew in from Los Angeles to join her late on Tuesday.

Rosie took time to check her phone as she and Tatum spent time sunbathing on Saturday

None of Rosie's kids, who range in age between 20 and 2, have joined their adoptive mother on the vacation. Her two middle children, Blake, 15, and Vivienne, 12, are in school.

It is the second time Rosie and Tatum have been seen out in public since their vacation started. On Thursday they took a boat ride a few miles up the Intracoastal to Peanut Island but had to call the trip short when a rainstorm threatened.

Daily Mail Online exclusively revealed earlier this month that the two were a couple. Rosie has van cleef clover necklace sale copy been out as a lesbian since 1992 and has seen two marriages, first to Kelli Carpenter and then to Michelle Rounds, fail.

Both women are in need of a little R after undergoing simultaneous surgery at the start of this month. Rosie had a minor heart procedure in New York at the same time that Tatum was under the knife for an operation on her knee.

Rosie's rep has denied that they are a couple, claiming they are merely longstanding friends. But sources tell Daily Mail Online that their love van cleef necklace copy has been steadily growing since they went together to see the Broadway musical Hamilton in June. They later shared a bottle of red wine at the New York restaurant Da Silvano.

Tatum has spent time at Rosie's Nyack home, which also backs on to the water, this time the Hudson River at one of its widest points.

Rosie, who previously had a second home in Miami, bought the six bedroom five and a half bath West Palm Beach house in July. The selling realtor described the 7,600 sq. ft. house as 'truly spectacular,' called it a 'totally renovated and partially reconstructed direct Intracoastal gated compound with deep water dockage.'

Tatum, who has three grown children from her eight year marriage to tennis great John McEnroe, came out earlier this year, telling People Magazine that she was now dating women. 'Women are the most amazing creatures on earth,' she said.

She said at the time: 'I don't have a steady right now, but I look forward to it.'

Tatum expanded on her new found sexuality in a piece she wrote in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. She said she hadn't dated a man in two and a half years. 'In the physical sense, I'm not attracted to men right now at all,' she wrote.

With 78 per cent humidity in West Palm Beach on Friday, it was the perfect day for Rosie and Tatum to relax by the pool

O'Neal, who won an Oscar aged just 10 for her role in Paper Moon, has fought a life long battle with heroin. She said she had experimented with women in the past, but it is only now she is drug free that she has gone further.

'Now I'm clean and aware and alive and interested in the world, saying: "Dating women is exciting to me, and this is turning me on."

'I dated in the heterosexual world up until about four years ago, when I started thinking about dating women just thinking about it.'

Senegalese Fill A City Niche

Careful planning can transform the shape and life of a city. But sometimes, a city's features develop spontaneously like the immigrant enclaves that grow around certain jobs and trades in urban centers like New York.

Occupational cliches have been a fact of life in the Big Apple for generations. Historically, New Yorkers thought of Jewish tailors, Italian greengrocers or Irish policemen, says Philip Kasinitz, a sociologist with the City University of New York.

In more recent times, Kasinitz tells NPR's Robert Siegel, a New Yorker might point to "Korean vegetable stand owners, Pakistani cab drivers before that, it was Russian cab drivers West Indian nurses and West Indian child care workers."

Kasinitz says social capital family connections and contacts created those occupational associations, and still does, even as the immigrant groups change.

In today's New York, one particular group the Senegalese occupy a very visible commercial niche, selling umbrellas, handbags, hats and scarves from tables or carts on sidewalks all across the city.

Making A Living On The Weather

Senegalese vendors have become so visible in the past two decades that the group has achieved cliche status among New Yorkers especially when it rains.

"The joke used to be that you got very depressed when you saw the Senegalese umbrella vendors setting up," Kasinitz says. "Because no matter how nice a day it was, that meant rain was coming soon. They knew."

"We know ahead at least five days," says Cheikh Fall, who set up his table near Radio City Music Hall on a recent afternoon.

Since the sidewalk vendors depend on the elements, he says, they follow the weather forecasts religiously. "We start following the rain from Florida to here, from Chicago to here."

Fall says the vendors know which forecasters to believe and which to discount. And, he says, if you could bet against the weather forecasts, the Senegalese community would be full of rich people.

Fall, 45, is a father of four with a thin mustache and a clean shaven head. He runs an association of Senegalese vendors that deals with the city over licensing and regulations. His table boasts fedoras, ladies' hats, scarves and sunglasses, but all those items take second place to umbrellas on a rainy day.

Fall says he's the son of an airline executive, but most of his fellow vendors grew up less well off. When they reached the United States, he says, they gravitated toward a business that feels somewhat familiar.

"Most of them was traders or farmers [back in Senegal]," Fall says. "And if you're a farmer, you have to trade your crops. So coming to a city like New York, where there's no factories, there's no farming . trading was the only thing that was available and that they can relate to, because they was doing it also back home."Many Senegalese immigrants also came to New York without papers and were ineligible to work in other jobs.

In Fall's case, he came to attend college 20 years ago. He dropped out, worked as a court interpreter, became a citizen and then enlisted in the Navy.

With $450 and a tip from another vendor about how to connect with wholesalers (go to trade shows, he said), Fall went imitation van jewelry into business in 2003.

Making a living this way relies on many things, but one is the old adage: location, location, location. When it's raining, Fall says he usually sets up near hotels on 5th Avenue or on Broadway.

And when Apple unveiled its new iPhone, Fall selected Radio City Music Hall, rather than the Broadway Apple Store, based strictly on personal experience.

"People are not focusing on what's van cleef necklace replica next to the Apple Store; they're only focusing on the new product they're going to get," Fall says. "They don't care about the hat, they don't care about sunglasses . After you go to Apple store, and you bought something you like, or something that's expensive, then [you think], OK, I spent enough money today, I'm not going to buy me a hat."

Fall says Senegalese immigrants bring a strong work ethic that accounts for their success as sidewalk vendors in cities all around the world.

Nearly all of the Senegalese vendors in New York are adherents of a Senegalese branch of Sufi Islam, a very spiritual form of the faith. Fall points to the teaching of a Senegalese sage that guides him and many of his countrymen: "Work like you never gonna die, and worship like you will die tomorrow."

And the work is hard. It takes Fall about 40 minutes to unpack his van and get set up early enough to catch New Yorkers on their lunch break. It takes just as long, he says, to tear down and pack up after the evening rush hour. A bathroom break requires another vendor to watch the table, and friends in nearby restaurants or hotels who will let him use their restroom.

A Constantly Shifting City Tapestry

Fall says he can support van cleef arpels necklace imitation his family doing this, but there's no money for extras. So he's trying to move up. Like so many of the city's pushcart peddlers before him, he's taking his business indoors; he and his wife have opened a shop in their Harlem neighborhood.

Perhaps in a generation, vendors like Fall will all be shop owners, making the Senegalese sidewalk vendor as archaic a cliche as the Jewish tailor and the Italian greengrocer.

When asked to speculate about what newer immigrant group may soon fill a new commercial niche in New York's vibrant melting pot, sociologist Philip Kasinitz says Tibetan women are quickly moving into the child care business.

"There aren't too many Tibetans in New York," Kasinitz says, "but they do seem to be quite concentrated in child care work . [On] the question of the preferred child care worker, people from that part of Asia are now beginning to have that image."

Sainthood and civil torts

University of California Press

It took a single bullet to kill Oscar Romero, but his legacy has outlived many who plotted his murder and he may soon be officially named a saint by the Catholic Church. Assassination of a Saint is an exciting, dramatically paced account of his murder by a right wing van cleef necklace clover knock off death squad and the painstaking and eventually successful efforts to expose some of the men behind the Archbishop's death.

In El Salvador in 1980, Romero, the Archbishop of San Salvador, had been elevated to his position in part because the cabal of land owners and politicians that controlled the tortured Central American state saw him as unlikely to pose uncomfortable moral challenges to their power.

But Romero was fast becoming a problem for the elites. Instead of mouthing religious platitudes or denouncing the sins of the flesh when he preached, he was condemning the war of right wing terror being van cleef alhambra diamond necklace replica waged against the Salvadoran people by the army, police and paramilitary death squads, all of whom took orders and funding from the country's ruling class and inspiration from a particularly bloody minded brand of Cold War anti Communism.

Forces in El Salvador had links to American aid going back at least to 1963, aid that was often justified by the great power argument that left leaning forces who opposed the status quo in their country might move it toward Cuban style communism.

During the three years he spent as Archbishop, Romero was gradually radicalized by the suffering inflicted on the poor of his country by the official and unofficial death squads. In the end, he condemned the state and ruling class sponsored murders and called on soldiers and policemen to refuse the orders to turn their guns on Salvadorans standing up for their freedom.

"No soldier," he thundered from the altar, "is obliged to obey an order contrary to the law of God."

That call for conscientious disobedience was the last straw. The decision was made that the "turbulent priest" must die.

On March 24, 1980, a sniper in a van parked outside the church fired a rifle once, striking Romero in the chest as he said mass and killing him. The assassination made the Archbishop a beloved martyr among the poor, and kicked off a new round of civil war and bloodshed. For decades, no one was held to account for the van cleef and arpels diamond necklace replica public murder.

The Assassination of a Saint is the compelling story of how a rag tag band of idealistic lawyers collaborated with Salvadoran exiles to identify one of the killers, Alvaro Saravia. Because the assassin was found to be living in the United States, the legal team, working out of the San Francisco offices of the Center for Justice and Accountability, was able to file a civil suit against him under an obscure American law, the Alien Torts Act, for damages incurred by Romero's killing. In the course of that effort, they brought to light much of the hidden history of the Romero murder, meeting with witnesses and accomplices in the crime and uncovering much more about the archbishop's death than had been known before. (Full disclosure: I have known Eisenbrandt now for several years through our shared involvement in human rights work.) Imagine a report from Amnesty International written by Graham Greene and John LeCarre in tandem and you will have a sense of Eisenbrandt's exciting and well written achievement.

Before they were successful in that effort in 2004, the crusading lawyers experienced a series of dramatic meetings with perpetrators and potential witnesses, tense moments, mysterious phone calls, frightening visits to El Salvador and years of exhaustive research. Their win was a triumph for human rights defenders, and this book is a powerful account of how that victory was won. Highly recommended.

The Doors' Ray Manzarek dies at 74

"I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek today," said Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. "I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him."

The band famously defied Ed Sullivan's request that they not sing the lyric "higher" when they performed "Light My Fire" on his show in 1969. A show producer approached them in the dressing room fake van cleef gold clover necklace shortly before they were to perform, Manzarek recalled in an interview with CNN fake van cleef necklace in 2002.

" 'Yes, sir,' we told fake van cleef and arpels necklace clover him," he recalls. "'Whatever you say, sir. We'll change.' (The producer) looked at Jim and said, 'You're the poet. Think of something else 'wire,' 'flyer.' "

Then the Doors went out and did the song exactly as they always did. Sullivan was so furious he didn't even shake their hands.

Manzarek went on to produce the Los Angeles punk band X. Bassist John Doe said the band learned a lot from him.

"To have someone like Ray like rock 'n' roll royalty embrace what we do, it was great for our confidence," Doe told CNN in a 2004 interview. "In the studio, he knew what to try to do. He went for performance. He was smart enough to realize that the band had the arrangements all worked out."

Tammy Miller Chooses Volleyball and Cal State Fullerton to Carry On Family's Starry Athletic Tradition

The phone rang one spring day at the home of one of Cal State Fullerton's newest volleyball recruits, Tammy Miller, then a senior at Riverside Poly High School.

"Hello?" Tammy asked. The caller identified himself as Bill Cosby.

Between giggles, Tammy began motioning desperately for her mother to summon her friends next door. Meanwhile, Cosby inquired about Tammy's sports interests and offered her half an hour's worth of advice on track from his own experience at Temple University.

Although this was not a routine call, even at the Miller household, Tammy Miller was already well acquainted with celebrities. She's van cleef flower earrings replica literally next of kin to a trio of them. team to a gold medal in the Goodwill games.

Two of Tammy's older brothers are also well known young Southern California athletes UCLA basketball player Reggie Miller and California Angel Darrell Miller.

Tammy, a willowy 6 foot 1 18 year old whom the rest of the family affectionately refers to as "the baby," clearly idolizes her older siblings.

Still, there are a few unavoidable drawbacks associated with having such lineage. For example, when people first meet her, they usually harbor very high expectations.

Even Bill Cosby was no exception. He casually inquired how fast Tammy ran the 440.

She replied, with a degree of justifiable pride, that her personal record was 60 seconds, good enough to imitation van cleef and arpels earrings price make her a member of the fastest girls' 400 meter relay team in the history of the Riverside City Track Championships.

Pretty fine, considering track wasn't even her primary sport.

But Cosby said he thought she should be running faster around 57 seconds, at least. He went so far as to jokingly nickname her "Pokey."

Miller just laughed, deflecting the whole issue with a lie so outrageous, it was deft: "Well, I've been sick lately."

Fame is a double edged sword, and it can cast a deep shadow. There are 147 trophies and 139 plaques in the Miller family room "at last count," Carrie Miller, Tammy's mother, said.

Which ones are Tammy's? Carrie Miller searches around and finally locates a trophy and a plaque. In most families, two wonderful symbols of achievement and recognition. Here, just two small branches in a forest.

But few younger siblings handle a spot on the edge of the limelight as gracefully as Tammy Miller. Far from resenting comparisons, she is only proud of her inevitable identity as Darrell or Reggie or Cheryl Miller's little sister.

She has had a long time to get used the role, since the days when Cheryl scored up to 105 points in a game at Riverside Poly. Tammy, in junior high, was a fixture imitation van cleef and arpel earrings on the bench at every Poly game as the team's "manager."

"Actually, I was the water girl, but Cheryl always called me the manager," Tammy said. "In eighth grade, I used to wear all her clothes and her letter jacket. I was so happy and proud.

"I'd say, (pointing to her shoulder) 'This is a patch Cheryl won and she just got this letter. . . .' And every time she went to a tournament, she'd always bring me back something."

Cheryl Miller's could have been the ultimate hard act to follow. Tammy was so content with her sideline supporting role in the close knit Miller family that she didn't even play a sport until her sophomore year.

"But after going to all of Cheryl and Reggie's games, I kind of wanted to play a sport, too," she said. When Reggie graduated, she started looking for the right one.

Common sense told her that choosing basketball would be an act of lunacy, although she was tall and coaches had cast acquisitive eyes at her for years. She also remembered Reggie's discomfort in high school at frequent suggestions that Cheryl was the best player in the family.

Volleyball was the natural alternative and Tammy, who became a middle blocker, suited it well despite a relatively late start.

"Volleyball seemed more demanding than basketball," Tammy said. "It's fast paced and I like the idea of being (enclosed) in a box and fighting it out as part of a team.

"I liked the idea that no one person could be a ball hog and everyone had to cooperate as a team to win. And in basketball, they do all that running up and down the court " she made an unenthusiastic face.

"Plus, in basketball, everybody would have been comparing her with her sister," added Carrie Miller. "I thought it was kind of unfair for someone to expect (Tammy) to be able to do certain things."

The Bears' volleyball team advanced to the Southern Section finals in her sophomore and junior years, and she was team captain and Most Valuable Player on their second place Ivy League team as a senior. Her club team, the Tigers coached by Molly Kavanaugh, won national junior titles in 1985 and 1986.

Slain Camden County woman Fatima alhambra pendant replica Perez was placed in hidden grave

CAMDEN A judge on Thursday set bail at $5 million full cash for each of the two men accused of burying alive a mother of two.

Carlos Alicea Antonetti, 36, of Camden, and Ramon Ortiz, 57, of Pennsauken, are each charged with first degree murder in connection with the death of 41 year old Fatima Perez on Monday. Her body was found buried on Wednesday in Monroe Township, Gloucester County.

They appeared in court Thursday afternoon for arraignment before Superior Court Judge Edward J. McBride. There, Camden County Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah said both men admitted to the horrific killing to detectives. Monday. Relatives told police she was last seen leaving her home at 407 North 41st St., not far from the Camden Pennsauken Township border that morning.

Investigators released several statements seeking help finding Perez, including one saying she might be with Alicea Antonetti and Ortiz. They received a tip, Shah said at arraignment, that the men were at the Express Inn on Route 38 in Cherry Hill Township.

Ortiz was found walking on Route 38 near the motel, and Alicea Antonetti was found in one of the rooms, the prosecutor continued. Also found in the room were a cellphone, from which the battery had been removed, and the box for a newly purchased cellphone, she said.

Detectives said they also seized more than $7,000 in cash from Alicea Antonetti. They began arguing, and Perez fell out of the van, injuring herself. But she got back into the vehicle.

Alicea Antonetti then picked up Ortiz while the victim lay in the back of the van. Both men tied her up and eventually placed duct tape over her mouth and eyes.

They drove southbound to a wooded area, where Ortiz began to dig a hole. The men put Perez in the hole, alive, poured lime on her and buried her.

They tried to camouflage the grave with branches and debris.

Investigators said Ortiz told them he worked for Alicea Antonetti, owner of Villa Coamo Landscaping and General Maintenance. Ortiz gave the following statement on the killing, they said:

Alicea Antonetti picked him up at 1115 North 23rd Street in Camden, where Ortiz was cutting grass. He entered the van but did not realize at first that Perez was in the back because she was tied up and lying on the floor.

He noticed her only when she began to make a noise. She asked Ortiz to help her. But Alicea Antonetti drove southbound, down Route 42 to the Black Horse Pike.

At some point, Alicea Antonetti pulled off the roadway. Ortiz took a shovel from the van and dug the grave, as his boss directed him. Alive, Perez was covered with lime and buried. There, they found the hastily dug grave and unearthed Perez body, they said.

In an autopsy, medical examiner Dr. Charles Siebert ruled the cause of death was asphyxiation and the manner homicide.

At arraignment, neither man had to enter a plea. But when asked by McBride about their intentions for a defense, each said he planned to apply for a public defender. Alicea Antonetti was aided by an interpreter.

Shah requested the $5 million full cash bail for each man, in part because replica van cleef and arpels alhambra pendant of the cruelty of the crime.

crime is more serious than murder, and this murder was particularly heinous and depraved, the prosecutor said. She also deemed the men extreme flight risks, given in part that they could face life in prison without parole if convicted. That the toughest possible sentence in New Jersey.

McBride granted the bail request for the same reasons. He added that the allegation both men gave confessions to the killing helps bring high likelihood of conviction, further encouragement to skip bail and go on the lam.

On Thursday morning, well before arraignment, relatives of Perez had gathered outside her home. A sister, Vanessa Castro, wiped away tears as she struggled to find words to describe the victim.

can I say? she posed, looking downward and shaking her head as she stood with loved ones in the driveway. don know. asked if they been raised in the area, she said they grown up together in Nicaragua. Perez moved to the United States about eight or nine years ago, Castro explained.

was hard worker, she said. bought her house within a couple of years of coming here. was also a good mother to her 21 year old daughter and seven year old son, Castro added.

was strong, very strong, she said. she was very naive about alhambra pendant knock off people. She trusted people too easily.

just didn have any bad inside her. And she didn see any evil in people, and how far (with that evil) people can go.

If there good news, the dynamic rookie was spotted in the Leafs dressing room post game moving in no obvious discomfort.

Marner wasn the only Leafs injury in the game against the Jackets. Forward Zach Hyman received a high stick to the face and returned to the dressing room for treatment.
