How Are Heirs Determined in Illinois?
An heir is someone who is legally entitled to receive property upon a person's death. Every state gets to decide who the natural heirs of a decedent are, and the states will publish their own laws of descent and distribution outlining heirship. The laws of descent and distribution are important when determining heirship as they specifically outline who stands to inherit from a deceased person in the absence of a will or trust.
Illinois' Law of Descent and Distribution
Illinois has codified its law of descent and distribution in the Illinois Probate Act of 1975, 755 ILCS 5/2-1. The Illinois Probate Act lists degrees of heirship. Generally speaking, the closer relations to the decedent take shares of the estate prior to more distant relations. But distribution is also partially determined by whether the decedent was married and had children. The list of heirship is as follows:
This is only a small portion of the Illinois heirship chart. As you can see, the closer relatives take first, and if there are no close relatives the more distant relatives become heirs. It is also important to note that gifts to children are per stirpes, meaning that if a child is not living but a descendant of the child is living, the descendants of the deceased child take the deceased child's share.
Heir vs. Legatee
Some confusion arises in Illinois probate court regarding the difference between an heir and a legatee. An heir is the person who legally stands to inherit assets in the absence of direction from the decedent. Whereas a legatee is someone the decedent has directed shall receive assets. So if a decedent had a will leaving money to a nephew, the nephew is a legatee. If the decedent had children, then the nephew is not an heir (since the children would take to the exclusion of more distant relatives). It is possible for a person to be both an heir and a legatee. For instance, a person may direct in their will that their child is to receive their estate. The child may stand to receive the estate in the absence of a will anyway, but the will turns the child into a legatee as well.
Avoiding the Illinois Law of Descent and Distribution
The Illinois laws of descent and distribution are default rules on how assets are distributed. Often times a person does not like the default rules and would rather specify how his or her assets should be distributed on death. The laws of descent and distribution can be avoided by creating a will and/or trust outlining who should receive the assets upon death. It is important to list contingent beneficiaries however, as it is possible for a scenario to arise where no named beneficiaries are living and the will and trust will direct that the assets be distributed according to the Illinois laws of descent and distribution.
Creating a Comprehensive Estate Plan
It is important to create a comprehensive estate plan to avoid the default rules in Illinois so that you can be assured that your assets will pass to the people you intend upon your death. Many people utilize a combination of a will and a trust to name beneficiaries and create a more sophisticated asset distribution plan. Having a plan in place will make sure your assets pass to your loved ones upon your death and upon your terms.

Catch Design Studio was founded in 2003. Ever since, we have been delivering superior design projects to our clients throughout Washington state and across the country. A logo, a brochure, a website, an environment, are not independent entities, but relate together to generate the overall image of a company. Our diverse set of skills allows us to provide this holistic design for our clients.
Catch is a collaborative design firm. Think of our design process is a game of catch. An idea generated by one mind is thrown to the next which catches it, refines it, adds to it and then throws it back where it is caught and refined again. Our clients join with us in this game of catch. Our clients challenge our thinking and we in turn challenge theirs. They understand that we are valuable business partners with them for the long haul, It is through this active communication that we arrive at the right solutions.
The team at Catch is diverse and broadly educated. We span three generations and two cultures. Our education in the world, and in university, ranges from fine art to cultural history, from interior architecture, graphic, and interactive design to web programming, from teaching to small business ownership. This diversity brings depth to our design solutions.

Ever since Robin Williams passed away in August, I've taken the interest in seeing his movies that I had missed before. Flubber was one of them, but I do remember when it came out in 1997. It seemed rather stupid to me when I was 9, but at least it has Robin Williams. I also recently discovered that it was a remake of another Disney movie The Absent-Minded Professor from 1961.
The story begins with Professor Philip Brainard at work at doing scientific experiments and teaching a college class as well. Nobody doubts his genius, but his weakness is his ability to forget everything. He's showed up to teach the wrong class, and almost didn't realize it was a class about art. He's so forgetful that he's forgotten to show up to his own wedding, twice.
He creates a new material called Flubber which is almost a new life-form. It also has the potential for many new inventions and uses. One of which is helping turn a pathetic basketball team into all-star players by using his invention to increase their speed and jump ability with their shoes. He hopes that his invention can save his crumbling relationship with his fiancee Sara, and prevent the college from closing its doors.
Overall Flubber isn't as stupid I had thought it would be when I was nine, but its no masterpiece either. It's mildly cute, clever, and funny but nothing extraordinary. It probably would of been mundane without Robin Williams. So honestly it's far from Disney or Robin Williams' best film, that's for sure.

I am currently enjoying the Great Canadian Cheese Festival in Picton, Ontario. I had planned to film videos, and I might just yet, but my voice is still quite hoarse and a little hard to hear. I've tasted some great "new to me" cheeses, met some lovely cheesemakers, wine makers, beer brewers, and Bob Blumer. There are some pics from the day on https://www.facebook.com/CurdyGirl so check it out ("Like" the page while you are at it, thanks!) the festival which is in Picton continues tomorrow, so get yourself out here if you can.

Little Prince all grown upMay 23, 2012
Little Prince is a goat cheese named after the youngest son of the owner of Monforte Dairy. It is a lovely, creamy, and I dare say elegant, ash-ripened chevre when young, and lusciously lickable when ripe, such as the specimen in this video. Cheese tastes and textures can vary wildly based on the age of the cheese, and so experimentation with this can yield interesting taste sensations.

Tea and Cheese pairing explorationOctober 13, 2011
Tea and Cheese pairing exploration
This is a study I did earlier this summer for a complex pairings course.
Teas and cheeses can be very successful partners in a pairing situation. Black teas and green teas offer greater chances for success, while white tea and herbals offer the least. Strive for balance; too strong of a tea will overwhelm the cheese, and likewise, too strong a cheese will overpower a tea. By playing with the different aromas and flavours of teas and cheeses, great discoveries can be made. When brewing tea, it is crucial to pay attention to the recommended steeping times and temperatures to allow for full expression of the tea.

British draft of UN SC resolution on Syria tactical move to justify military operation,says Pushkov
The draft of a UN Security Council resolution on Syria prepared by the UK is a tactical move to justify a military operation against the country, Russian State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Head Alexei Pushkov said.
"London and Washington said that they wanted to "fully legitimatize" the carrying out of a military strike against Syria. If [British Prime Minister David] Cameron proposes that such a resolution be passed by the Security Council, this is a tactical move. They have guessed the results of their proposal, nevertheless, the mere act of addressing the Security Council is important for them," Pushkov told Interfax on Wednesday.
The essence of London's initiative is to begin a military operation against Syria and refer to the fact that an attempt to raise the issue with the UN Security Council had been made, Pushkov said.
"They want to show that they will not ignore the UN Security Council. It is even possible to predict the situation's further development. If the resolution proposed by London is rejected, the United States and the United Kingdom will insist that they are certain that they are correct and that it is necessary to strike Syria," Pushkov said.
Meanwhile,Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said he regretted the decision to cancel talks that would have been "especially helpful right now, when military action is hanging over this country."
However,Russia warned earlier Tuesday that US military intervention in Syria could have "catastrophic consequences" for the region and called on the international community to show "prudence" over the crisis.
Russia's top diplomat disagreed with his US counterpart in a phone conversation about the situation in Syria, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported Tuesday.
"Lavrov … rejected such an assessment and cited relevant arguments on the Russian side," the statement said.

Discourses of urban knowledge professionals (architects, PR professionals, etc.) on the Arab Gulf city have framed this city as an "laboratory," a "sci-fi" space, and generally have disconnected the space from its social and historical contexts. In this paper I argue that a Marxist or class struggle perspective can best highlight how such discourses promote imperial and capitalist class power in the Gulf. Through combining this framework with a postcolonial discursive critique and feminist scholarship on social reproduction, a class struggle perspective both moves us beyond victimization discourses of Gulf labor and highlights global patterns of capitalist accumulation. In turn, the paper shows how the Gulf is an unexceptional zone of capital accumulation with labor exploitation and social reproduction regimes continuous with, and shaped by, similar such regimes in the Global North.

Things are not going terribly well at the moment. Ok, strictly speaking that's not correct. Things in my head are going badly whilst things outside my head are going pretty well. Confusing huh.
I have a plan. It is, without question, a pretty fucked up plan. How weird can it be? Well, if I say that it's messing with my head yet is exactly where I think it should be, that should hint at how strange it is. Still, it's a plan and as long as it proceeds in the direction it is then all is good.
Not entirely sure what I'm trying to say. Am just… I dunno. I just…. *sigh* dunno. Bit of a waste of a blog post but needed to get it out (even if it makes no sense.

Quick Links
If you are going on a cruise that calls in Bayonne, there are two things worth remembering: Try the ham, and don't forget to sample the chocolate.
That's not to say that you need to be an epicurean to visit this French city on the Atlantic coast, but if there are two things that this destination is famous for it is Jambon de Bayonne and chocolate. Chocolates have been manufactured here for 500 years, and the salted and dried ham is the outcome of a craftsmanship that is more than 1,000 years old, according to local producers.
To put things into perspective, this means that the production of the world-famous ham started only 100 years or so after a Viking army launched an attack against the town. The intention of the Vikings was to establish a port that would become a key destination on their trade- and war expeditions to southern countries.
The Vikings left, eventually, but the city would have to endure more belligerent times over the following centuries. The citadel and the impressive fortifications, built in the 17th century, still stand to tell visitors about times gone by. In fact, you will find traces from as far back in history as Roman times: Bayonne was once a Roman military camp – a castrum – known under the name Lapurdum.
The city sits at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers, divided by the Nive into Grand Bayonne and Petit Bayonne. Five bridges connect the two neighborhoods.
While the city itself is not situated by the sea, one of the closest neighbours is Biarritz – a true paradise for holidaymakers from around the world.
The economic and commercial capital of the Basque part of France, Bayonne is part of 'BAB' (Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz) – a metropolitan area of almost 200,000 people.
Bayonne For Cruise Passengers
Cruise ships dock close to the city center, allowing for easy access for cruise passengers who wish to experience the city on their own.
Do Not Miss
- The Cathédrale Sainte-Marie (the Cathedral of Saint Mary) overlooks the Adour and Nive rivers from the top of a hill at the heart of the Old Town. The construction of the present Cathedral was started in the mid-thirteenth century and ended in the early 16th century, after fires had destroyed two earlier churches built on the same spot (in 1258 and 1310).
- From the Château Vieux, or the Old Castle, the city's governors could transport themselves quite conveniently to the city's Cathedral. One of the more famous rulers was England's Edward of Woodstock, commonly known as the Black Prince. He governed Bayonne in the mid-1300s.
- Founded in 1922, the Musée Basque is quite unique. There is no other museum in France that is dedicated to Basque culture. The museum with its more than 2 000 individual artifacts is an indispensable experience for anyone who wants to get close to this region of France.
- The Musée Bonnat was built in 1901 with the purpose to host the art collection once belonging to Léon Bonnat, a French painter who was predominantly active during the 19th century. It is now considered one of the most interesting museums in France, featuring paintings by masters such as Rubens, Le Gréco, Murillo and Goya. A part of the museum is dedicated to archaeology.
- Other cities are perhaps more well-known for their chocolates, but there are those who place Bayonne at the very top when it comes to pralines. Many of the city's chocolatiers serve chocolate the way it used to be served two or three centuries ago: hot and homemade. It was Portuguese Jews fleeing from the inquisition who transformed the city into France's chocolate capital. Find out more at the Chocolate Workshop.
- Consider taking a tour on the Adour River for a fascinating view of the Basque countryside
- Bayonne has its own bullring, proving that it's not only the Spanish who are amused by spectacles like these.
- Situated atop a bastion, the city's botanical garden is worth a visit.
Shore Excursions
- Coach tours can include both Bayonne itself and one or several of the small towns that surround the city, such as Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Ainhoa or, quite naturally, Biarritz.
- On the other side of the Spanish border, virtually, you will find San Sebástian – a city that many European potentates have chosen for their summer holidays.
- Another possibility on shore excursions from Bayonne is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Getting Further
Paris, the capital of France, is situated some 480 miles/770 kilometers from Bayonne. The high-speed train (TGV) connection to and from southernmost France, on the Spanish border, calls at Bayonne. Madrid, is closer: the distance to Spain's capital is 310 miles/500 kilometers.

The New York Times just ran an article talking about the "painful and stupid" sequestration. If the NYT is going to talk about the "painful and stupid" sequestration, maybe they should also talk more about whose "painful and stupid" sequestration it is, i.e., President Obama's.
It was his idea in the first place and he's the one who signed it into law to give him leverage over Republicans in the 2011 debt ceiling negotiations, which worked.
After campaigning for reelection on wanting $800B in taxes (which, unlike Team Obama, is what I call them, instead of using the euphemism "revenues"), the Republicans gave Obama that increase in taxes right after he won reelection. But then, in typical Obama fashion, he moved the goal posts again and wanted almost double that, or about $1.3T in taxes, and offered no substantive cuts in federal spending in return.
Obama tried to use the threat of the sequester a second time to extract even more taxes from Republicans, while still offering no cuts in return, and went on another campaign tour (because campaigning is his strong suit, not governing), acting like Chicken Little and predicting gloom and doom, in addition to having his minions (Lying Ray LaHood from Transportation, Janet "Big Sis" Napolitano from Homeland Security and Arne Duncan-the-Dunce from Education) all come out with dire predictions of the Armageddon that sequester would bring, all of whom since have had to either recant or severely modify their initial comments after some fact checkers did their work and revealed teachers and first responders weren't going to be laid off, school children would not be running naked in the streets with nothing to eat, our borders would be no more porous than they already are, Y2K never happened, the Mayans were wrong, and the sky was not really falling.
And, of course, the most egregious thing which happened, allegedly in response to or in anticipation of the sequester, was the release of hundreds, if not thousands (hard to get straight info from the DHS), of already locked up illegal aliens back onto the streets of America — and this was even before the sequester went into effect.
It's alleged by Team Obama that some career, unknown and faceless, mid-level manager at ICE ordered this and then almost immediately either resigned or retired. As Dana Carvey's Church Lady would say, "How con-veeeen-ient." Besides, if that's the case, instead of the White House ordering it as another scare tactic about sequester, then take your pick between (a) the Obama Administration really being behind it to scare people over the sequester and lying to the American people about how it happened (a la Fast & Furious and Benghazi), or (b) the Obama Admin not knowing what one of its major agencies was doing, and possibly illegally, until after it happened. So, lying to us or just incompetent? Choose one…..or, in the case of the Obama Amateur Hour Administration, possibly both.
But it's also odd, don't you think, that DHS's Janet Incompetano (I just changed her last name to reflect her incompetence) claimed she had insufficient funds, or would have had insufficient funds if ICE hadn't jumped the gun, for enough beds for illegal aliens at the same time she ensured a $50M contract for 50,000 new TSA uniforms made it under the wire before the sequester took effect? That's $1,000 per person for uniforms for our airport shakedown artists, while when I served in our military, I had to buy my own uniforms. Just sayin'.
Obama, recently doing what's called "walking it back" (read: politi-speak for telling something closer to the truth only when you must), has since admitted that the sequester was not the fearsome fiscal cliff and scary scenario he and his handmaidens and henchmen had tried to frighten the American people with but was more like a "tumble." I would suggest, Mr. President, that sequestration is not a "tumble" but instead your "stumble." You used it first as a cudgel to get your way on the 2011 debt ceiling, you never thought it would really happen, yet you tried to use it again to get your way on more taxes — and the first time it worked but the second time it didn't.
And, for once, and to their credit, Republicans didn't blink and so here we are. I guess, dealing with a president who would rather play political poker and bluff to get his way on taxing the 1% while millions of Americans are out of work and our economy is still suffering, instead of leading and meeting with congressional leaders to mange the sequester of his own making, the Republicans realized Obama was overplaying his hand and called his bluff, deciding to at least take what they could get, which is merely an $85B (a near rounding error compared to overall federal spending) slow down in government spending and not even a real cut at all — and it's spread out over months and years, to boot.
Oh, but, again unlike Team Obama, in all fairness, I misspoke. Obama did meet with congressional leaders over the sequester — but it was not until after he finished his latest campaign tour and on the day on which it was to go into effect. Much too little, much too late, Mr. President. Leading from behind obviously makes one trip over one's own feet sometimes.
Anyone who doesn't see what's really going on is simply not paying sufficient attention, or they're just drinking too much liberal Kool-Aid. Now, five years into a presidency for which he campaigned in 20o8 that he knew how to fix the economy and, after being elected, said he would do so by the middle of his first term or be a one-termer, and after blaming Bush for everything under the sun, especially the economy, time and time again, it is now not only Obama's sequester but also Obama's economy. There is a point of diminishing returns, when it cannot plausibly still be all Bush's fault any more. Obama has to finally, and for once, take some responsibility for his own bad choices — and there have been many, from the stimulus which didn't stimulate, to Solyndra, et al., to the sequester.
And, make no mistake, some of the really scary stuff is that what you have going on now is a president more willing to continue to play politics rather than join in the hard work of fixing a broken immigration system, reforming a burdensome and loop hole-ridden tax code, helping create jobs for a flagging economy, or cutting federal spending or its ever-epanding size and who, seeing some splits among the House Republicans, is more hellbent on being a demagogue and destroying the Republicans' chances in the 2014 mid-term elections than he is on fixing the economy, or anything else, for the benefit of the American people.
Obama is a lousy president, has never been a president for all the people and is as worse about cronyism as any in modern times, but he is sometimes a masterful politician. And if he can split the Republicans enough to retain the Senate majority and regain the House majority, he will have what he had during his first two years in office — him in the White House and Democrats in charge of both chambers of Congress. Liberals will once again "own" the federal government and the most liberal (and unaccountable) president in our history will be even more unleashed and unfettered than ever, not having to worry about reelection again, having that "flexibility" he whispered to Medvedev to tell Putin about, and if ObamaCare is the hallmark of him and Democrats being totally in charge for his first two years, one can only wonder — and worry — what else might be forthcoming after 2014 in his last two years.
And THAT, my friends, not the sequester, is the seriously scary stuff you should really be worried about.
Well, that and whatever Janet "Big Sis" Incompetano's DHS is up to — but that's for another article. Stay tuned.

Modular Strategy
My eurorack modular synthesizer is in a beautiful cherry cabinet designed by Matthew Goike. It was custom made for me and I'm very proud of it. Matthew's standard design uses uncut vector rails that are 104hp long. I've heard of people being able to squeeze 105 hp into them. There was an issue with the wood of my case so matthew had to cut the rails. I had always assumed that it was exactly 104hp and planned my my module acquisition very carefully. I recently discovered while trying to fill a row completely that my rails are more like 103.9hp. So my careful plan has gone out the window. I've been in a kind of tail spin since.

Unsuspected Sounds, vol.1
The compilation that Analog Industries was putting together is finally released. I've been enjoying it. The proceeds go to the Breast Assured Foundation. So if you're a fan of breasts (who isn't?) you should buy it. There's a fancy limited edition vinyl version available too.

I've been listening to this box set put out by Basta called, "Popular Electronics: Early Dutch Electronic Music from Philips Research Laboratories 1956-1963." It includes the complete electronic work of Kid Baltan and Tom Dissevelt. Electronic music created for ballet by Henk Badings, film scores by Dick Raaijmakers, and a disc of alternate takes and stems from Baltan's work.
I ordered it from them directly as I couldn't find a copy anywhere else and I'm glad I did. The packaging is great – there are a couple of printed scores, a small timeline poster, and extensive track notes to read while you listen. The album is available as a download from Amazon but the packaging is so wonderful I recommend tracking down a physical copy. After the break are some tracks from the album that Basta has on their Soundcloud account. Continue reading "Recent Inspirations"

It's a pain to look down upon a 'newly vacuumed' carpet and see no change at all. Also, improperly vacuumed carpets are home to lots of accumulated dirt and debris. This can be harmful to you and your family. Don't worry, just a little change and improvement in the way you're vacuuming your carpet may work wonders for you.
Here's a list of 6 right ways to vacuum your carpet until it looks warm and snuggly.
1. Vacuum In Both Directions
This is probably something new for most of us. It turns out, typical one-direction vacuuming is no good. You see, when you work your vacuum along with your delicate carpet bristles in one direction, the dust stuck inside the other side stays there.
Therefore, the right way to do it is to work your away along your carpet vertically. Go from one end of your room to another, until you see those perfect lines. Once you're done with that, go against the tracks you've left in the horizontal direction.
This way, you can remove most of the dirt hiding inside your carpet. Also, this technique will have your carpet looking fresh and new for a longer period.
2. Use The Height Adjustment Tool
If you've never paid attention to the height adjustment tool while you're vacuuming your carpet, you're in for a surprise. Modern vacuum cleaners have the best height adjustment systems. Also, there's a chance your vacuum cleaner might have one as well. You can set the height according to the type of your carpet.
Vacuum cleaners have individually customized height adjustments for rugs, high pile, and low pile carpets. This regulates the pressure your vacuum cleaner puts on your floor. Consequently, the correct height setting gives your carpet a perfect tailor-made cleaning. Also, you can make sure you don't apply more pressure than required upon your carpet. This makes it look flawless and long-lasting.
3. Use Your Tools
You might not know it, but the tools provided with your vacuum cleaner are pretty handy once you get a knack of it. The basic vacuum cleaner spout won't be able to clean out your edges properly, no matter how hard you twist and turn it around. Here's where the crevice tools come in.
Carpet edges and corners are the main places for dirt accumulation. Crevice tools are especially designed to facilitate proper cleaning in these places. Also, it concentrates suction in one direction, so you can use it to tackle a particularly dusty spot, such as a muddy footprint as well.
4. Take Your Time
Furthermore, if you're vacuuming your carpet in a hurry to get the job done, we're sorry to say it'll do you no good. While speeding things up is okay and sometimes essential if you're a busy person, when cleaning carpets, the ideal way is to go slow and steady.
Moreover, vacuuming your carpet furiously fast increases pressure and friction. Repeating the same way now and then can make your carpet look dull and damage the material as well. The trick is to move your vacuum along your carpet slowly while paying attention to each detail and tending to corners and beneath the furniture. This might take up lots of your time, especially if you have a whole home to clean, but you'll see great results.
5. Freshen Your Carpet Up
Nothing like a pleasant scent to freshen your home up. Usually, we use air fresheners and humidifiers to do the job. However, if you treat your carpets with some fresheners or neutralizers while you vacuum, the scent will set inside it.
Carpets can begin to emit foul odors from moisture or impurities that they retain after prolonged use. To keep your carpets fresh, or emit any odor that's developed, you can incorporate fresheners while you're vacuuming your carpet. Simply place a cotton ball or tissue infused with your favorite perfume or essential oils inside your vacuum bag or canister.
This will help cleanse the air around you as you vacuum and give a warm scent to your carpet as well. If you don't want to use this homemade technique, commercial fresheners and neutralizers for vacuum cleaners are easily available too.
6. Keep Vacuuming On Your Way Out
If you have a soft, thick carpet around your home, you might know the contented feeling that comes by seeing neat, proper vacuum lines around the room. It might just be a housewife's way of announcing that the house is clean, but let's face it, it does make the room look clean and more organized, even if it stays just until the next person enters the room.
If you're having trouble creating perfect vacuum lines, you'll have to change the way you're vacuuming your carpet just a bit. Firstly, never vacuum the same place twice. Rubbing over the same spot multiple times does no good and just spoils the way your carpet settles after the vacuum moves over it. Instead of cleaning the room horizontally and vertically twice, as we suggested earlier.
Secondly, make sure to vacuum your way out of the room. Always vacuum your carpet towards the entrance, so you can continue moving your vacuum in a perfect line until you go out. This makes sure your lines don't get disrupted by irregular movements, and your carpet looks good as new.
Well, these are the tips for you if vacuuming your carpet properly has had you wishing for hardwood floors. Wrapping this article up, everything in your home decor needs proper attention if you want the look to last. It is quite obvious from what we've discussed that running your carpet over with your vacuum cleaner every day is just not enough.
You need to know how to make your efforts show by implementing these six easy ways to vacuum your carpet in your daily cleaning routine. This way, you'll be pleased with your work and cherish your expensive carpets for years to come.

Overcoming pain through Cannabis inspired him to educate young and old about the plant's numerous benefits.
Jason James has severe osteoarthritis in his shoulders, which worsened after playing football in high school. Osteoarthritis alone ought to be enough to persuade someone to use Cannabis for pain management, but James' first encounter with Cannabis was not out of pain or curiosity but grief.
James was devastated by the sudden loss of both of his grandparents. He was raised by them and the upheaval threw him into a spiral of depression.
"I didn't smoke before I was 21. I was a late bloomer in that regard. I was raised by my grandparents and lost them both within a month of each other," he said.
"My grandmother died of cancer and my grandpa died of a broken heart a month later. I was always a straight edge kid and I didn't partake because they raised me old fashioned. After all, they were from the prohibition era."
James' friends at the time wanted to pull him out of his depression, so they suggested he try Cannabis for the first time.
"My friends were tired of me being in bad shape. I was a jerk sometimes and I was always upset or defensive. Grief is incredibly strong, but my friends had enough. They loaded a bowl and told me to 'just hit this mini aluminum bat.' It was the first thing I ever smoked out of," James said.
"I don't remember feeling anything at first, but once we got to our destination, I was laughing for no reason. For the first time since my grandparents died, I was smiling again. I was really lucky because I had access to high quality Cannabis at the time. A beautiful friendship was born at that point."
After James experienced a few hours of relief, he decided to look deeper into the healing potential of Cannabis. James became a regular Cannabis user and moved to California, where he applied for his first medical marijuana card. He made the pilgrimage to Oregon and became an Oregon Medical Marijuana Program patient to treat his osteoarthritis in 2011. "When I find something that works that quickly, I tend to immerse myself in it. Cannabis started me on a path of healing. My friends were just getting high to get high, but I knew there was more to it," he said.
"Grief doesn't go away until you deal with it. Using Cannabis during the process of grieving was like a loved one holding your hand. My cortisol levels went down. Life was brighter."
Cannabis doesn't make the grieving or healing process any easier, but it gave James' body and mind peace through the journey of emotional work.
"I lost my wife in 2005, ten years after my grandparents died. I've been a single, full-time Dad for the last 14 years. If it wasn't for Cannabis throughout the process of child rearing, my child would not have turned out as well as she did," James said.
"If I didn't have a positive daily coping tool to deal with the constant issues of healing, I don't know how I would've done it. My daughter is a straight-A student; she's involved in school and incredibly independent. I feel like I've done a good job raising her and I'm attributing my success in part to Cannabis."
"Cannabis creates mental and physical homeostasis. It's important to find the right cannabinoids and strains that work the best for you. If you are well balanced, your cortisol levels go down, and during that short time your fight-or-flight response goes away too. This helps you think clearly and prioritize how you're going heal yourself," James said.
Not only did James have to get his mind right after the loss of his wife, he also had to parent and comfort his child throughout the ordeal.
Some may wonder how he approaches the topic of Cannabis with his daughter.
"The best way to frame a conversation is to lead by example. If you show your kids you work hard, you are clean and still you use Cannabis, their image on the topic completely changes. All of a sudden, it is now a medicine—it's a homeopathic healing tool," James said.
"It's a good thing in the appropriate situations. The problem with hiding your Cannabis consumption from your kids, is almost every moment is a teachable moment. It is up to the parents to teach during those moments. If you continue to teach and educate, your child will have a respect for the topic. Why lie to your children?"
Open lines of communication are vital to effective parenting. If parents aren't having the conversation on Cannabis with their children, somebody else will. Cannabis is legal and James treats it like medicine.
"Kids notice everything, they see it all and they hear it all. As my daughter got older, my Cannabis consumption got too difficult to hide," James said.
"When the anxiety around hiding it became more stressful because of my Cannabis use, I had to educate her. I have a little curriculum from a Cannabis class I taught, so I gave her a history of Cannabis on where it came from and prohibition."
James is an active member of the Cannabis community and currently works to educate seniors on the benefits of Cannabis. He works closely with geriatric patients, with their doctor's support and approval. James teaches a 90-day curriculum and does not believe his work should be hidden from his daughter.
"Having conversations about Cannabis opened more lines of communication between my daughter and I. Don't lie to your kids. I told her Cannabis is for adults and children with serious illness."
Parents are worried they are going to screw it up, but it lays the groundwork for a larger communication track with your kids.
James uses Cannabis for wellness to manage his arthritic joints. He experiences regular chronic pain from severe osteoarthritis in his right shoulder.
For those with similar issues, he advised beginning "a regiment of Cannabis topical treatment on the affected area every four to six hours. I recommend 1:1 or 2:1 CBD to THC. I always use THC with CBD because they need each other to work the best. THC and CBD are symbiotic, it's important people don't dismiss THC, because it's like combination therapy."
Topicals are the unsung hero in most Cannabis toolboxes. James applied Cannabis topicals directly to the surface of pain on his shoulder. Transdermal skin patches work too, preferably 1:1. He also recommends ingesting Cannabis when the pain becomes more intense.
"When things get really painful, I use a transdermal patch, an edible and get plenty of rest and sleep. I use a multi-pronged approach depending on how I feel. And it's not just an approach to healing, but also an approach to wellness as a whole. Anything you can do physically for your body is going to help, whether it's yoga or free weights," James said.
Kaleafa has multiple stores around Portland, and James said he has always loved the service and knowledge the budtenders provide. When it comes to concentrates, James recommends Portland Extracts. He believes they are affordable without sacrificing quality. "I would also recommend an 1:1 extract. THC helps reduce the pain, and CBD for inflammation. I dab every four to six hours for my shoulder, either solventless or butane hash oil (BHO) preferably," James said.
"Flower consumption is important. You get a full cannabinoid and terpene profile. I find that the terpene limonene really helps with anxiety, so I look for flower and concentrates with higher levels of it. Flower and extracts provide a natural combination of therapy."
James said he has lost more than 120 pounds since using strains high in THC-V, an appetite suppressing cannabinoid. He is a walking, living and breathing example of how Cannabis can positively impact a life.
"Just because you're enjoying yourself, doesn't mean the Cannabis isn't working. I know that goes against most things we know, but Cannabis makes me feel really good and it is not terrible for me," James said.
"If you feel better, great! Thank God, because that's the idea. Feeling good is beneficial. It's OK to enjoy yourself and be healthy at the same time."

A congressional staffer will accompany members of The American Legion during a survey of Department of Veterans Affairs regional centers after a VA official blocked representatives of the veterans group from meeting with employees at the Seattle facility.
House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., believes the interference was a "deliberate and retaliatory" response to Legion testimony in December that the VA's accuracy rate on disability claims is significantly lower than the department claims.
"I caution that any obstruction to external review of [VA] work product is contrary to both transparency and government accountability," Miller said in a blistering Feb. 14 letter to VA Secretary Erik Shinseki. "It will not be tolerated. ... Moreover, actions taken to frustrate the reviews of The American Legion are hostile to both the mission of the [VA] and the interests of our nation's veterans."
To make sure there is no future obstruction of the Legion's work, a committee staffer will accompany Legion representatives on their VA center visits and report to him, Miller said.
The VA is not commenting on Miller's letter or the department's decision to bar employees from talking the Legion representatives.
"VA is reviewing the issues raised in Chairman Miller's letter related to the American Legion, and will respond to his office," spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said in an email on Thursday.
The Legion has been conducting its Regional Office Action Reviews for 15 years. The oversight reviews check on the quality of work and assess work processes. They're intended to serve the interests of the veterans and also the VA by providing the perspective of an interested outsider.
Legion officials were taken aback in January, however, when they were unable to meet with staff at the VA Regional Center in Seattle, Wash.
"We worked quite well with the VA before this," said Verna Jones, the Legion's national director for veterans' affairs and rehabilitation. Recently, however, "there has been some criticism of the VA in our [congressional] testimony, a difference of opinion on their accuracy rate. We've been vocal about that."
In December, a Legion official challenged the VA on its accuracy rate during a hearing of the House Veterans' Affairs subcommittee on disability and memorial affairs. The VA has said its accuracy rate is about 90 percent.
Zachary Hearn, deputy director of benefits for the Legion, said the Legion's review of 260 claims found errors in 55 percent.
In his letter to Shinseki, Miller pointed the finger at Under Secretary for Veterans Benefits Allison Hickey for obstructing the Legion ROAR team. Hickey has been a frequent target of congressional criticism, and Miller has previously called for her resignation.
In December, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., ranking member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, pressed Hickey over the conflicting statistics, noting that the Government Accountability Office and other organizations have also come up with numbers far different than the VA's.
The VA has continued to defend its own figures, arguing that the small samplings by the Legion, GAO and others don't give a full picture.
"Before we went to Seattle [Hickey] said she wouldn't allow us to talk to the employees," Jones said. "There may be some hurt feelings over us disagreeing with their [VA] accuracy rates, but we have a responsibility to be transparent and up front with our members and veterans in general. ... None of this is intended to hurt anyone or speak ill of anyone. But it is intended to be honest so we can help veterans."

Internet giant Google commemorated Valentine's day and the 154th anniversary of George Ferris, the originator of the Ferris wheel, with an two-in-one doodle on Thursday.
The interactive and exhilarating doodle on the search engine's home page featured two giant wheels standing against the backdrop drop of an amusement park. The rides in the park spell out the word 'Google'. The roll coaster represents the first letter G, the two giant wheels are the O's, the track of a Go Kart ride forms the second G, the Drop Tower is shaped like L and the merry-go-round forms the last letter E.
The colourful and lively doodle also integrates the theme of love, expressing it through sixteen different animals. A click on the love button placed at the bottom between the two giant wheels will take you through ten love stories. While the animal 'couples' seem to go on a date, the fox is pictured watching television alone at home.
"We thought this would be the best way to highlight the Ferris Wheel in its natural habitat and provide a clever way to introduce some valentines to each other," said Doodler Brian Kaas.
When the whole world is celebrating 14 February as the day of love, Google stands apart to remind everyone the birth of a genius.
Little about George Ferris
George Washington Gale Ferris, an American engineer, was born on 14 February, 1859. He created the Ferris Wheel, also known as the Chicago Wheel or giant wheel, for the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. He died on 22 November, 1896 of typhoid fever in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Here's a look of the new doodle in a video:

Boy Pays it Forward to Doctors Who Saved Him
A 5-year-old boy born more than two months premature is doing his part to thank the doctors and staff who helped keep him alive. Jackson Kissick fought for his life after being born at 25 weeks. "He was required to be on a machine in the beginning to support his breath," said Dr. Johny Tryzmel, MEDNAX-affiliated neonatologist at Broward Health Salah Foundation Children's Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He suffered "immune system issues, infection issues. He actually went through nutritional issues where he required to initially be fed through IV." Jackson recently returned to Broward Health to present a heartfelt donation of $1,500 to the staff, which he raised together with his family. The funds will be used to purchase toys and other baby gear for the hospital.

It wasn't just the anticipation of becoming Mrs Mark Wright that made Michelle Keegan emotional ahead of her wedding day.
The ex-Coronation Street actress, 28, was incredibly moved when she saw how her venue was coming together.
Michelle and Mark, 28, chose Suffolk's Hengrave Hall for their romantic nuptials on 24 May, which they'd had decorated with stunning 12ft-high flower trees.
Impressed? That wasn't all. Birmingham-based Urban Design Flowers also joined Interflora to create bouquets and transform the wedding cake with 16 varieties of plants.
'She was just absolutely amazed with her flowers, she was in tears,' Urban Design Flowers' Steve Betts tells the Birmingham Mail.
'They're both lovely people. Mark is a really genuine, down-to-earth guy and it's the same with Michelle. We met their family and they were the same.'
It's no wonder Michelle was so elated about the gorgeous foliage – she'd spent a long time working on her perfect bouquets.
'Because I'm quite small, I didn't want anything too big and I didn't want anything too heavy for me to carry as well,' Michelle tells Interflora.
'My dress is not a simple dress, so I didn't want anything to look too much with it. I wanted a bouquet which was more rounded, easy for me to carry, all white and it would sit well with my whole outfit.'
Not entirely surprisingly, Michelle's admitted that Mark had 'no say' in the flowers. However, they were both keen on a 'clean' Hollywood Glamour look.
See: Michelle Keegan And Mark Wright's Honeymoon Album
After getting hitched, Mark and Michelle jetted off for a *very* romantic honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai.
The couple made us ludicrously jealous with their Instagram uploads and now Michelle's made us even MORE envious by revealing just how blissful the trip was.
'As soon as we landed [in the Maldives], we knew we had chosen somewhere that was unbelievable,' Michelle writes for the Mail On Sunday.
'Getting off the plane was one of those magical moments we'll never forget. As we entered the resort, it took our breath away.'
However, not everything went entirely to plan. Although a nervous swimmer, Michelle had braved trying her hand at snorkelling.
Unfortunately, she ended up having a pretty terrifying experience.

'I was swimming along, trying to stick near the coral, and I was the first to spot one – a shark. It was about five or six feet long,'
'I started flapping about, but no one could understand that I was screaming: "Shark!" Luckily it minded its own business and swam off. I was petrified, though.'

Church fellowship Vs Church attendance
What is the Church actually? What does the Bible say about the Church? Jesus? Is He still the boss? What is His say? A large building with a cross on it's head? A place you go to on a Sunday morning to watch a show with 3 fast songs, 2 slow songs and a 45 mins feel-good sermon? We are missing something really big, that it's high time we do something about it.
What is the Church?
The Church is the family of God's children. It is not a building you go to, it is the people who gather in a building. If two or three believers gather in a coffee shop in the Name of Jesus, that's Church. Ouch…You don't go to Church, you are the Church, you gather as the Church.
As most believers have the wrong idea of Church, that it is a place you go to watch someone sing and watch another guy preach, they settle for Church attendance. If you think, heaven is excited because you sat through a church service, you are wrong.
This is how the life of most Christians look on a Sunday morning:- You get on your Air conditioned car and drive to your Air conditioned Church. You will be greeted by the ushers. You sit on the same place you have been sitting for years. You lift your hands during the songs, you may look sad during the last two songs, a few tears once in a while. Then the preacher's favorite time- Offering- you either tip God or drop more because the person next to you is looking at you. Then you sit through a 45 mins feel good sermon- you yawn 4 times and look at your watch 5 times(some of you even think about your afternoon plans during the sermon). Benediction, the best part of the day, you have permission to leave. You either run back home, run to your afternoon plans or if you have friends in your gathering you stay back for some Godless talk and then you are off.
What started of as a gathering of believers coming together "to engage with God, to learn about God, to worship God, to connect with each other, to build up each other" has evolved into a gathering of believers watching a show performed by the Pastor and his team. You may argue saying "we are worshiping together, we are hearing His word together". Awwww…you can't call that together, what's happening is individuals singing alone to God and hearing God's Word alone in a building surrounded by people who are doing the same. Our hearts must be connected for us to really worship together and learn together.
The Early Church
The Early church met together everyday. They had food together. They loved each other and stood for each other. Some even sold their houses and lands to help those who were in need. They were all united in heart and mind. They were one big family with God as their Dadda.
God is building a family on earth, not a bunch of loners.
The Church has no substitutes:-
Jesus didn't design the Church in a way that only the Pastor and the Worship Leader gets to play. He designed Church in a way that everybody gets to play. The Church is described as the Body of Christ and in a healthy body, every part functions. We have prostituted Jesus's design of the Church that we have a few entertaining us on stage and everybody else watching the show called "Church service". Everybody gets to play, there are no substitutes. If there are substitutes, then there is something seriously wrong.
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you(not just the Pastor) has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 1 Corinthians 14:26
Why you should move from Church attendance to Church fellowship
Most of your troubles can be traced back to this- trying to do life alone. God designed life in a way that we will need each other. Life is relational, your destiny is relational, you can't change that. I need people, you need people- God's people.
When I say fellowship, I'm not talking about "cake and coffee" surface level fellowship. I'm talking about a deep family bond, a brothers in arms connection, a sanctified mafia gang relationship- where you have people in your life who are ready to take bullets for you.
A True Church fellowship is built on the blood of Jesus and stands for each other at the cost of their own blood.
Here are the pillars of true fellowship:-
- Support:- Life becomes too hard to live when you lack support. You need people, bonded by the Blood of Jesus to stand with you and for you. If you don't build healthy, deep relationships with other believers, your life will keep shaking beyond control. Yes, God helps us through various ways but you must understand that one of the primary ways He helps us is through people. Support, living-giving support is what a True Church would give.
- Encouragement:- You lack the courage to live and face the storms of your life because of the lack of encouragement. EnCOURAGEment releases courage. Yes, God gives us encouragement through His Spirit and Word but you must also understand that He uses people to encourage you. If you don't connect with God's family, how will you receive encouragement?
- Correction:- Life without correction is dangerous. Yes, God corrects us through His Spirit and through His Word but we carry a lot of filters in our minds that God has to use people to bring correction into our lives. God was not able to get through to David when he was with Bathsheba. God had to use Nathan to shake David out of his sin. Hello, you need Nathans to confront you when you are wrong. Do you have people in your life, who have access to tell you are wrong when you are wrong?
- Destiny:- Destiny is relational. You can't be a lone-wolf and walk in your destiny(Jesus called us sheep and not wolves). For some you will live out your destiny when you find out your people, for some you will find your destiny only after you find your people. Church visits may get you good messages and a good feel but true Church fellowship makes you aware of the destiny implanted in you. David and Jonathan, Elijah and Elisha, Moses and Joshua, Paul and Timothy are divine connections laid down in the Scriptures. How will you find your divine connections, if you just warm your seat on Sunday mornings?
If deep connections are not a part of your Church, then you need do some serious praying. If you have access to your Leader, you can throw a talk. If your Church is large, you can still make deep connections through small groups(again not the surface level connection that happens in the name of mid-week small group meetings).

For Kids
PTSD Help > For Kids
Have You Seen Someone Blown Away?
Written for teens who have been traumatized by school shootings, drive-by shooting, or other forms of violence. It is a simple, clear explanation of the symptoms of PTSD as a normal response to trauma and how to recover. Space is provided on the back to stamp an agency's name, address, and phone number. Pamphlet
Children are by nature valuable, vulnerable, imperfect, needy and self-centered. If someone in the family is having a bad time with PTSD, kids tend to think it is their fault. Sometimes the parents agree, but nothing your kids do or don't do will heal a parent's PTSD. That is the parent's responsibility.
I wrote these books to explain PTSD to kids. One vet told me that the book gives such a simple explanation, he could see he had it too.

Department of Plant Science
Graduates from the plant science major can look forward to an extremely wide array of career opportunities in California's growing horticultural, agronomic, and fruit industries. These careers also include many areas that provide support to these industries such as landscape irrigation, water management, soil science and conservation, agricultural biology, entomology, plant biotechnology, postharvest physiology, and environmental protection of water, farmlands, open space, and landscaped areas
California leads the nation in the production of over 350 crops. Over the past two decades, production has shifted significantly from field and cereal crops to specialty fruits, vegetables, and horticultural crops with our curricula following that trend. Employment opportunities in this field are numerous. In addition to commercial tree and crop production management, students are prepared for careers in pest control advising, the seed and nursery industry, produce marketing, postharvest physiology, and agricultural chemicals. Students interested in organic production of food have the opportunity to pursue coursework in sustainable agriculture.
Many important career opportunities support commercial food, nursery, and landscape areas. Graduates enter careers that protect our natural resources, the urban landscape, and food production systems. Students pursuing studies in landscape irrigation science design modern irrigation systems, provide irrigation water management and develop and implement best management practices that improve efficiency and protect our valuable water resources in California. Soils are the basis for all of our food, fiber and landscape developments. Students pursuing careers in this area study conservation, environmentally sound fertility practices, and modern analysis methods to assist growers and landscape designers. Agricultural biologists are experts in pest detection and prevention managing populations of insects, vertebrate pests, weeds, and plant diseases. Many graduates enter into careers in environmental health, crop management advising and regulatory enforcement work, via agricultural commissioners, public health specialists, and homeland security.

Dr. Luke Sues Kesha Back — Calls Singer 'A Liar'
Famed producer, Dr. Luke is suing Kesha back after the 'Tik Tok' singer filed a lawsuit against her producer of ten years that allegedly accuses him of sexually assaulting her!
Dr. Luke, 41, is calling Kesha, 27, "a liar" after the singer filed a lawsuit against her longtime producer alleging that he had been abusive towards her since she first signed with him. TMZ reports that Dr. Luke is claiming that Kesha is, "making up stories just so she can get out of her legally binding contract."
Dr. Luke Sues Kesha — Says Singer Is 'Making Up Stories'
Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) filed a lawsuit against Kesha just hours after the famed singer sued the producer for sexual assault. According to TMZ, Dr. Luke believes that Kesha is attempting to extort him.
The site reports that in Luke's lawsuit, "he says the pack of lies is being engineered by Kesha's mother, Pebe and Kesha's new management firm." He claims that, "Kesha tried to extort him by threatening to spread lies about him to a blogger who started a 'Free Kesha' website unless he released her from her recording contract."
Absolutely shocking. That's not all, in Dr. Luke's lawsuit he reportedly has, "had a copy of a draft of Kesha's new abuse lawsuit for months, and she was threatening to file it if he didn't release her."
The producers lawyer, Christine Lapera told TMZ that the singer's abuse claim is part of, "a campaign of publishing outrageous and untrue statements." That's not all! Christina also revealed to the site that both Kesha and her mother have already admitted that the allegations are false!
Kesha Sues Dr. Luke For Sexual Assault
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Kesha sued her producer claiming that he had sexually assaulted her! In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the singer reportedly claimed that Dr. Luke, "made repeated sexual advances toward her. She claims he would force her to use drugs and alcohol to remove her defenses."
Besides several allegations claiming that Dr. Luke drugged and sexually assaulted her, Kesha is also blaming her producer for her eating disorder. She said in the lawsuit that he told her, "You are not that pretty, you are not that talented, you are just lucky to have me."
Mark Geragos, Kesha's lawyer told HollywoodLife.com, "This is just another pathetic and entirely predictable example of Dr. Luke's continued abuse, and a misguided attempt to keep Kesha under his tyrannical control. This lawsuit has absolutely no basis in fact, the law or reality. Kesha is focused on reclaiming her voice and her freedom. She is determined to move on with her life and her career by putting this dark period behind her."
HollywoodLifers, do you believe Kesha or Dr. Luke? Let us know your thoughts below!

An Ornament
Designed by Janelle Giese, it's called Celestial Santa (on of three in "Celestial Tree-O" in the January 2011issue of Cross-Stitch & Needlework. Stitched on 28 ct Monaco (it's really a grey blue although it looks a little greenish here) in DMC floss (3 over 2!), Kreinik #8 braid and Mill Hill Petite Seed Beads. Some speciality stitches (satin stitch for the beard, Algerian eyes for stars and his cheeks). All in one day! It felt good to stitch again after so much beading!

Stephen Hawkings is dead.
According to BBC, the sad news was confirmed by his children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, who wrote about his "courage and persistence," and how positively he shaped the world with his genius.
"We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today," they wrote in the statement. "He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years."
"He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever," they said.
The theoretical physicist was famous for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and he authored several science books, including A Brief History of Time. And in 2014, his story was told in the award-winning movie, The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne.
See some of the facts about the late scientist, as told by BBC:
- Born 8 January 1942 in Oxford, England
- Earned place at Oxford University to read natural science in 1959, before studying for his PhD at Cambridge
- By 1963, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease and given two years to live
- Outlined his theory that black holes emit "Hawking radiation" in 1974
- Published his book A Brief History of Time in 1988, which has sold more than 10 million copies
Stephen Hawkings was 76.

Talk about having the situation not being in hand despite the situation being in hand!
Eighteen-year-old Monica Amestoy says that while aboard her United Airlines flight back to Los Angeles after participating in a high school debate tournament in New York City in October of 2012, she was subjected to a male passenger masturbating while staring at her.
Wow. That takes some balls… and perhaps a previously (?) undiagnosed mental condition.
"After we took off, the guy on the aisle seat across from me started masturbating and exposing himself while staring at me," says Amestoy who was 17 at the time, and says while terrified and disgusted, she immediately told a male flight attendant.
"I thought he would tell the man to stop or move. He did neither. The flight attendant told me that he couldn't move me because there were no seats available in my class," Amestoy explains.
Now… you think that someone – say, the person sitting beside the masturbator… or people in front or behind the masturbator… or the people behind Amestoy would have had the decency to say something to the guy to make him stop.
But no. despite complaining repeatedly to the crew, this poor teenaged girl had to endure the man's sexually-deviant behavior for the entire six-hour trip!
"Meat or fish? … Sir… you'll have to place your tray down so I can lay your meal on the table. Thank-you. Hmm… we seem to be having a lot of turbulence surrounding just your seat."
And then… turning to the terrified teen: "Ma"am… Ma'am? Oh dear, she seems to have gone catatonic… oh, well… sir… meat or fish?"
Of course I have no way of knowing if that happened, but the cavalier way the passenger claims her please for help were ignored is disgusting and troubling.
It seems, however, as though the masturbator would stop every time a flight attendant would pass by… which means the masturbator knew what he was doing was wrong and chose to do it anyways… and did not anyone in the adjoining seats see what was joint on?
The flight attendant said there were no more seats for her to switch to… (in her Class… implying there might have been a better class of seat available)… so there had to be someone beside him or in front of behind her who could corroborate her claims to the flight attendant.
Or… Stew… go ask a man – surely there was a manly man on the plane (as upped to the Stew), to please exchange seats with the poor victim.
The guy isn't going to masturbate to him (maybe)… he wants to blonde teenaged girl. Take her out of the picture, and hopefully problem solved.
But you know what would have been a better solution to the situation rather than ignoring the passenger?
Amestoy says the man concealed his behavior from other passengers with a blanket – so I suppose he may have lifted a corner for her to look at… stop looking… ignore it… maybe it will go away… BUT… that's beside the point. Someone should have done something about the masturbator.
After the flight landed at LAX, Amestoy was picked up by her father, who called authorities when they arrived at home.
The male passenger was later convicted for his lewd actions.
Not done, Amestoy and her parents then hired attorney Gloria Allred, who filed a lawsuit against the United Airlines.
"We have filed this lawsuit and are speaking out because we want United to have a clear policy that they implement to protect victim passengers in the future," states Allred.
The airline should report anyone who engages in sexual misconduct to law enforcement before the offender leaves the plane, Allred explains.
United Airlines issued the following statement in response to the lawsuit: "The comfort and security of our customers is our top priority, and we will closely review this complaint when we receive it."

A dream holiday to Barbados
If you had to describe your dream holiday, what would it involve?
Go on, take a minute to sit back and think about it.
I know it's a cliché but my dream holiday has to involve golden beaches and seas as bright and blue as the sky. I want to be able to walk along the shores under the shade of huge palm trees and feel the waves running up the sand to tickle my feet.
I want to get up at 6am, not because I have an early morning meeting or a train to catch, but because the sunrise is too gorgeous to miss. I want to swim in the sea when it has the early morning stillness that makes it appear like a huge, glassy pond. I want to put on a snorkel and watch the fish swimming alongside me and I won't even notice that this is the best workout I've had in months.
I'll dry off in the tropical gardens and soak up the musky, sweet scents that surround me while taking pictures of the chirpy little birds that dare to come close.
There would be yoga and Pilates classes overlooking the beach and it would be followed by a guilt free breakfast feast.
I'd spend the rest of the morning whipping through the sea on a speedboat. We'd munch on sugar cane and fresh fruit platters and feed the colourful fish that surround the boat. If I wanted some real luxury, maybe I'd cruise around on a catamaran, sipping rum punch in the sunshine and diving into the sea to swim with turtles.
In the afternoon I'd want to get out and about and discover more about the history and culture of the area. I'd sample the local food and drinks, meet the local people, take a road trip through the winding country lanes and seek out the best views on the island.
As the sun sets I'd like to relax and unwind with a massage on the beach and work out those knots and tension I didn't even realize I'd been holding on to. This would be followed by ice cream and white wine for the ultimate in relaxation.
In the evening I'd like some laid back glamour. Cocktails made with expert skill that are sipped elegantly in a stylish bar where you can still have your toes in the sand. Dinner would be freshly caught lobster followed by tangy berries covered in melted white chocolate sauce.
A nightcap of local rum would be sipped under the stars. It would be served neat because it's too good to be ruined with a mixer. Feeling full and sleepy, I'd fall into a king sized four-poster bed and wake up the next day to do it all over again.
If you haven't worked it out already, all this actually happened on my latest blog trip when I went to Barbados! Massive thanks to Colony Club for hosting my stay (more to come on this gorgeous hotel soon) and to Virgin Holidays for flying me out in style.
So tell me, what would your dream holiday look like?
October 29, 2013
Oh my gosh girl you had it all laid out! Sounds like a fabulous vacation. If I were to pick a dream trip it'd be to a hot and exotic locale as well. I've been to Barbados before (as a child) and this post just adds to my longing to visit again!
November 4, 2013
Wow! What a dreamy holiday. G and I have been thinking about our next adventure…Barbados looks like quite the canidate!
November 6, 2013

I think your blog is fantastic. I was looking at other travel blogs to find ways to improve mine and when I arrived here is dawned on me what I have not been doing. I have been sharing travel adventures, but not been too generous with the sharing of photos and videos. Duh! Looking at your photos was incredibly interesting.
