In Pennsylvania, no motorcycle rider can be subject to the limited tort threshold. This means that if you are injured while riding your motorcycle, no restriction is placed on your ability to bring a claim for money damages that you can receive for pain and suffering. You will nonetheless be restricted in the amount you can claim dependent on the insurance coverage the at-fault defendant carried on his or her insurance policy, and whether you purchased uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in sufficient amounts to protect you. Uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage protects the rider in the event that they are injured by a person who doesn't have enough – or any – insurance to cover the claim. Riders should always add medical expense coverage to their motorcycle policies as well.
Clients often ask this question, especially after being involved in some sort of motorcycle accident. Here are the facts. Under Pennsylvania's helmet law (75 Pa. C.S.A. Section 3525), riders are not required to wear helmets if they are over 21 years of age and have completed the state's motorcycle safety course. However, even though helmets are not mandatory for all riders, the risk of getting into an accident is the same for everyone. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reports that one out of every five motorcycle crashes result in head or neck injuries, and that riders wearing helmets are 50 percent less likely to be seriously injured in a crash than those not wearing helmets. This makes use of a helmet vital. And even though helmet use might be optional for some, all riders are required by Pennsylvania state law to wear eye protection while operating a motorcycle. Use of … Continue reading
For many young people, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is a motivational model for drive and dedication that leads to great personal accomplishment. This is evident in his extensive resume as a former Congressman, senior advisor to President Clinton and Chief of Staff to President Obama among many other achievements. What is lesser known is how an injury as a young adult changed the direction of his life forever while also representing an example of premises liability. These injuries can be caused by design defect. Then 17-year-old Rahm Emanuel had such a case when he lost half of his finger due to an infection after cutting his finger cutting meat at a Arby's fast food restaurant while using a meat slicer. In the case of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, it provided the impetus for his drive throughout life, which brought him success in the arts, finance, and politics. In a recent segment … Continue reading
Car accidents are expensive. In 2012, the average auto liability claim for property damage was $3,073 and for bodily injury was $14,653. These are only averages, however, and all claims are different depending on the degree of damage and injury. Additionally the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that the cost of medical care and productivity losses associated with car accidents is over $99 billion a year. If you are in a minor-impact crash will your car insurance company pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages? Will the other guy's insurance company fairly pay you for your injuries. Even if the accident was not your fault, the answer most likely is no. This article discusses some of the computerized tools the insurance industry utilizes to minimize payment of your legitimate claims. Minor-impact crashes are accidents categorized by insurance companies where the damage to the vehicle … Continue reading
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article entitled "Hedge Fund's $100 Million Bet: Iran Will Pay for Terrorist Attack." As the title suggests, the article discusses how a hedge fund is funding a federal court lawsuit, which is attempting to collect money against the government of Iran for a terrorist attack that occurred years ago. This story is just one example of third-party litigation funding, which is quickly becoming one of the most rapidly growing trends in the civil justice system. Third-party litigation funding is the practice of an investment firm ( perhaps a hedge fund) providing money to one or more of the parties in order to fund the cost of litigation. The transaction is established so that the investment firm is not involved in the legal aspects of the case.Ultimately, if the case is won in court or settled then the investor is repaid the amount invested … Continue reading

Stuart Carpey and Michael Swanson discuss litigation funding in this Google Hangout. Difference between funding for commercial entities as compared to and individual plaintiffs in personal injury cases Commercial entities have experience in all kinds of funding, so litigation funding is not unique to them Complications that can arise in litigation Discussion of hedge funds entering the world of litigation funding
In the first portion of this webinar with Boomtown Internet Group, Stuart discusses the consequences of promoting your business on the web through fake reviews (paying for ratings, collecting ratings from employees or relative, or rating your business multiple times through various email addresses). It may seem like a quick way to rank your business higher in local listings, but if you are caught doing it, not only will Google penalize you, but you can be fined as well. Google possesses complex algorithms that can detect patterns like those mentioned above when it comes to reviews. For example, in September the New York Attorney General's Office set up a fake yogurt shop online and asked various "reputation enhancement" companies to write reviews for it. 19 firms were fined a total of $350,000 for writing fake reviews (aka "astroturfing"). Stuart also discusses online copyright infringement during this webinar. Read more about … Continue reading
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), more than 750 people die each year and more that 200,000 are injured because of fatigue truck drivers operating commercial truck vehicles. To cut down on these accidents, the federal government has implemented a limit on the number of consecutive hours a truck driver can work to a maximum of 14. One reason for this limit is because research shows that being awake for 18 hours is comparable to having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08. To learn more about truck driver fatigue and for some safety tips check out our infographic below. Also, be sure to check out our article on this topic here.
On average a pedestrian is killed every two hours and injured every eight minutes in traffic crashes. A number of factors contribute to these high fatality rates including the time of day, weather conditions, and use of alcohol and drugs. A number of governmental agencies are taking initiatives to help educate the public on the causes of these accidents in order to help save lives in the future. To get the facts on pedestrian accidents and safety tips for pedestrians and drivers, check out our infographic below:

Performance at a great price. Deda know how to make quality components and these handlebars are no exception. With Deda's patented Rapid Hand Movement (RHM) design and lightweight alloy construction these bars will not disappoint.
RHM geometry for all day comfort and easy change of position. 6061 double butted aluminium alloy construction is light and strong. Round cross section. Drop: 130mm. Reach: 75mm. Routing: External. Clamp Diameter: 31.7mm (please note this will fit in a standard 31.8mm oversize stem). Width: 42cm, 44cm (measured outside to outside). Weight: 320g (42cm - PBK office scales). Black polished finish with silver branding. Deda handlebars state that they have a 31.7mm clamp diameter but the precise measurement for the clamp diameter is 31.75mm which most manufacturers round up to 31.8mm but Deda round down to 31.7mm. So a Deda handlebar will fit a 31.8mm stem.

You know what they say, strong, light, cheap. Pick two. At 300 grams or so they are not pigs. The shape is great and they are really stiff in a good way. I have two sets. One for road and a narrow set for the track. I am a moderately strong sprinter and they really feel great. The bend is the perfect balance between round and a slight ergo shape. Great cheap bars.

Orlando >Food & Dining > Le Coq Au Vin
4800 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL | Directions 3280628.493463 -81.375086
Tuesday To Saturday From 05:30 PM To 10:00 PM Sunday From 05:00 PM To 09:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Edgewood
We made reservations and went to Coq au Vin on New Year's Eve 2012. Possibly it was the night, however, we felt like the step-children of the night. We got there early since we knew it would be busy. We did not want to be late for our reservation. It was a chilly evening and they said they would prefer that we go outside and wait for a waiter to come and assist us as they were very crowded by the front desk. We obliged and went outside, no one ever showed up to even give us a glass of water. There were another two couples that went out as well, one with a child. The owner went to speak to the couple with the child as for us and another couple we were not even acknowledged. Our reservation was at 8:30 so we went in at 8:30 and let them know that we were cold and since we should be seated soon, that we would rather stand inside than sit outside and be cold, and still not an offer of even a glass of water, much less a glass of wine.
At approximately 9 we sat down. We did get bread around 20 minutes later, and a glass of water. AT 9:45 P.M.!!! we were served a glass of wine (remember got there at 8 and our reservations were at 8:30).
My son (who was leaving the next a.m. for Korea and it was his last night here) ordered the prix fix menu of tornadoes of beef and lobster said that the beef was probably sirloin and had gristle in it, as did a couple that came with us said about the same dinner they chose. We were disappointed that the beef was so poor for $75 per plate, (4 courses) not including the wine of course. The lobster thermidor that accompanied the beef was OK too. My husband's filet was good, and my rack of lamb was fair. (all the meals were prix fix)
I used to go to Coq au Vin when it was owned by a French couple, very accommodating, etc. I have not met the chef that
has bought the rest., however have met his wife. On this evening she went to other tables and was asking how
everything was etc., never once did she come over to see us or apologize for the sub par service, etc. She was the hostess so knew about our wait, it would only seem gracious if she had been more observant.
I will probably not be back to this little place again, for years I have recommended it to clients of mine, but no more, and now it is my decision to say adieu as well.
The Best Restaurant In Orlando To Recommend To Friends/Family! – Over the past 15 years I have dined at Le Coq au Vin over a dozen times, and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience every single visit. It is the only place in Orlando that I feel extremely confident in recommending to friends, family, and business associates, knowing they will have a wonderful experience.
First of all, it is such a warm, quaint building and Magdalena (co-owner with her chef husband Luis) greets you warmly and welcomes you to her restaurant. You feel as if you are going to a friend's aunt's house. The atmosphere is condusive for a fun night with several couples, friends (have had girl's nights, baby showers here), as well as those wonderful, inimate romantic dinners.
Everything I have ever ordered at Le Coq au Vin has been wonderfully prepared and every bite savored and enjoyed. My favorite is the eggplant dish that is topped with large prawns and big chunks of delicious crab meat and is drizzled perfectly with a spicy, flavorful cajun hollandaise sauce. Small potatoes with a bit of creme fraiche and caviar are served on the side with the most wonderful cooked carrots (how do they do that to a carrot?) and green beans. The escargot makes your eyes roll back into your head with the pleasure of the savory garlic sauce surrounding them. I love to start the meal with a gruyere souffle....so nice, light, and tastey....just amazing with a good wine (they are well versed in how to suggest a wine for you....or bring your own favorite bottle [small corking fee]) and their delicious French bread.
Do not forget to order your souffles (either appetizer or dessert...or both!) right when you arrive as they take quite a while prepare/cook.
Our last visit I went with a couple of smokers who would step outside to sit on the porch tables in between courses. Each time, Magdalena would come and get us letting us know the next course was waiting for us.....just like a good aunt would do!
Overrated Restaurant – We just returned from a very disappointing dinner at this restaurant. We have visited over the years and have alwaysleft very satisfied. Tonight was different. The service was fine until the latter portion of our evening. All of a sudden we were forgotton. No sign of our waiter anywhere. Only the busboy cleaning the tables in our now deserted dining room. Other parties were still enjoying their dinners in the other two dining rooms obviously reserved for regular patrons. Our special dessert, a souffle, was ordered intentionally early since the preparation took longer. We were never served. Our dinner selections were allright. My halibut was a little overdone crusted with burned cheese. The waiter didn't know this as he never came by to check. Anyway, my husband's lamb was fine. The steak tar tar was spicy but appreciated. I'm going backwards here. The review stands at average. I am so happy to return to the excellent restaurants in the Winter Park area. I missed them tonight.
Best meal in Orlando – My husband and I dined at Le Coq Au Vin for the first time last night to celebrate our Anniversary. We arrived earlier than we made reservations for and were seated right away. The dining area is TINY and seating arrangements are awkward at best. That is the only bad thing I could possibly say, though, because our meal was perfect and our server was wonderful!
For appetizers we had Coquilles St. Jacques-creamy perfectly cooked scallops and Salade Laitue Et Noix Au Roquefort-a simple boston lettuce salad with lots of roasted pecans and the Roquefort dressing was tangy, which I love. For main courses we had Le Poisson "Bronze" Aux Dix Epices-the bronzed fish swimming in a citrus beurre blanc, also perfectly cooked and served with vegetable ratatouille, caviar potatoes-loved it. The hubby had Tournedos Au Roquefort which was a fillet of beef stuffed with lump crab meat and had two sauces-bleu cheese cream and port sauce served with morel mushroorms, haricots verts, roasted carrots with thyme, au gratin potatoes. The sauces were perfection. Dessert was Creme Brulee with fresh raspberries-yummy!
The meal was scrumptious. I cannot remember the last time I closed my eyes while I took a bite of food, but with this meal, I found myself doing just that throughout.
The service was wonderful, efficient, and pleasant.
We can't wait to go back!!
Incredibly disappointing on EVERY level - twice! – I must start out by saying this used to be the restaurant where my family would celebrate (nearly) every special occasion -- for nearly 7 yrs! However in the past several years it has slipped to levels I simply can't fathom. In Feb & March I celebrated two birthdays at the restaurant & both times it was an atrocious experience on every level! Holding reservations made months in advance, both times we waited nearly 30mins for a table. You must understand, in a situation such as this your party (as well as other unseated guests) are standing in a hallway the entire time without air conditioning (the restaurant is cooled by room based AC) - there is no bar area or place to sit. Once seated, the service was extremely slow. In March the service was slow to a point where you honestly believed your order(s) had been lost. To add insult to injury the waitstaff made what appeared to be several disappearing acts - drink glasses were left empty, bread never refilled, no periodic check-ins. The worse part of both meals was the food was the sub-par - at best! In March I ordered the pate which was mediocre & the Alsatian casserole which tasted of a slow-cooked disaster. We skipped dessert & coffee because it took an eon for the waitstaff to check on us, much less clear our plates. For the record two members of my party complained to one of the co-owners (same two members both visits), no compensation was ever offered - not even free coffee! I can tell you after nearly seven years of celebrations - this year was my final visit. It's truly sad because in Orlando it's hard to find a quant place with great food. But for all those newcomers -- I personally would stear clear!
best entrees in town – i'm parisian born and student in orlando I very much appreciate good restaurants in france and i have to say that "le coq au vin" is by far the best french restaurant i've seen here especially for the fish. Unfortunnatly one of the apetizers, the soufflee, is awfull. It was a bad surprise! It seems to be bechamel sauce with swiss cheese. the same for the chocolate soufflee it doesn't make sense to have such insanity in this kind of restaurant because yes, it is a good restaurant. i've eaten there twice and i have been tastfuly suprised by the contenance of the meals. exelent fresh ingredients and the chef absolutely mastered the cooking time of his creations; moreover, the ingredients are perfectely mixed to inssure you a pleasant moment. even tought i've been deceived by the souflees, I highly recommend this restaurant.
excellent romantic restaurant – With Disneyfied tourism restaurants, Le Coq au Vin is a fantastic change of pace. My boyfriend introduced me to this place on our first date. He is native to the countryside of France and reccomended this to be the 'closest to home' he has found in the U.S. And after experiencing the countryside and fine cuisine of France for a month over the summer, I found he was absolutey right. My favorite dishes are the cheese souflee, coq au vin, rabbit (if you haven't tried it, you'll be pleasantly surprised) and of course the creme brullee. The food is authentic "french" cuisine, the atmosphere is a little noisy and crowded... but bad restaurants DON'T have crowds.... right? Highly reccomend this resataurant.
Quel Fromages? – My husband and I invited two friends to try out this French Restaurant which has great reviews. Our appetizers where delicious! The decor is wonderful, but the mains where bland and boring, the wine list expensive and sparse and the Waiter couldn't name the fromages on the cheese board! Being Francaise I was dissapointed as the fromage and the vin are usually the "piece de resistance". I found many great French Restaurants in Sydney Australia, where the wine list is extensive and affordable, the Fromages have a name, and the mains are extraordinary. Is there such a thing in Orlando? I'm still looking.
We are locals, and we LOVE this place. – My husband and I have been many times... it is the place we go when we want the best French meal... the service is wonderful. I have never had problems with dirty glasses as the last person mentioned.. I would say it must have been a bad nite. I love that they change the menu every other month to utilize fresh foods in season.. anyone who knows about good food, knows that the very best ingredients are key... Order the Grand Marnier or Chocolate Souffle' when you order your dinner.. it takes a while.. but is SO worth it!
Country French cooking expertly prepared and served in an unpretentious atmosphere. – The Scene
Even though it's designed to resemble a simple country inn don't be fooled by the rather humble surroundings. The star here is the cuisine--uniformly and consistently delicious. Everything on the menu is worth trying, and it changes seasonally to reflect what is fresh and available. The namesake signature dish has a simple elegance to it; the chicken is especially tender from being braised in the wine and it's served with bacon and pearl onions. Another longtime favorite is the Bayou Tesche: eggplant fried and stuffed with crabmeat and topped with a very spicy Cajun sauce. The barely breaded eggplant is delightfully firm, showing the skill of the chef and his mastery of the recipe. Other highlights include salmon with a horseradish-beet crust, sweetbreads with morel mushrooms and veal tenderloin roasted with artichokes and sweet peas.

There is a security man during the day. I was disappointed, it appeared there is none at night. I arrived late, around 11:15pm. I was not pleased that the hotel had no document that I was registered for the night upon my arrival. I did show them my hostelworld documentation to confirm I had a reservation which procured my room. I liked that my room had a portable heater, which probably saved me from getting a cold. The restaurant and hotel staff were cordial.

Great hotel at a good price- beware of added tax (23% I think) on the price quoted on the front desk. Overall, would recommend highly...easy location from Thamel and helpful staff will book bus tickets for journeys to Pokhara.

As Alex Rodriguez combusts in a fiery ball of bad feelings, the Yankees have turned to Alfonso Soriano to save their season.
You can't make this stuff up.
Amazingly, perhaps sickeningly if you have that old-fashioned anti-Yankees bias, there's a chance that the strategy could work, not just in 2013 but next year as well. It would be an escape worthy of David Blaine if Brian Cashman, Randy Levine and the Steinbrenner brothers can pull it off.

Yankee Stadium, 1 East 161st Street, Bronx, NY 10451, USA
On one hand, the Yankees are desperate, reuniting with Soriano at a time when they had hit four home runs in 19 games. On the other, they are brilliant. The Cubs will pay so much of Soriano's 2014 salary that he will be a $5 million guy on their tax rolls next year.

On one hand, the Yankees are cunning, hoping that Major League Baseball will hit Rodriguez with a lifetime ban in the Biogenesis case, potentially saving them the $98 million or so they still owe him. On the other, they knew who they were dealing with when they signed that 10-year, $275 million contract with him after the 2007 season, when he had used an opt-out clause in his previous contract.
No matter how clownish Rodriguez appears seeking his own diagnoses and doing his own public relations, no matter how quickly Rodriguez is becoming like Albert Belle and Bo Jackson in terms of his health, you cannot feel sorry for the Yankees.
They had a chance to close the door on Rodriguez when he was 31, four seasons after they had gotten him in a deal that sent Soriano to Texas. But it hadn't yet been revealed that Rodriguez had a positive test during that supposedly anonymous round of PED testing in 2003, so they could hope blindly that the most selfish player in the majors had just hit 54 home runs and driven in 156 runs without any unnatural help.
Their perspective was colored by not having won the World Series in seven years. They knew their best chance to win one was to keep Rodriguez hitting behind Derek Jeter and an emerging Robinson Cano, so they crossed their fingers and signed the deal, just as they did when they loaded Jeter full of painkillers last October.
Whatever anyone thinks of Rodriguez, he paid off on his end of the bargain when he helped the Yankees beat the Phillies in the 2009 World Series after they missed the playoffs in '08. He certainly has created his own problems since firing agent Scott Boras and going from one adviser to another, beginning with Madonna's people, but his deal runs through 2017.
It seems too convenient to get him off the books early, whether through an insurance settlement or a lifetime ban. The latter is possible given the seriousness with which MLB views his possible tampering with evidence and witnesses in the Biogenesis case.
The Yankees are committed to keeping their 2014 payroll under $189 million, which will give them a fresh start under MLB's luxury tax structure. They have been taxed at 50 percent on spending beyond the threshold, as a repeat offender, but could go down to 17.5 percent after the reset.
Getting Soriano at a huge discount, as they did Vernon Wells earlier in the year, will help the Yankees re-sign Cano — if not also Curtis Granderson — and have a shot to stay under the threshold next season. But the only reason fans will welcome back Soriano is if he hits, and there's no reason he shouldn't.
Soriano's .927 OPS for July ranks 30th in the majors among players with 70-plus plate appearances, ahead of every Yankee except Cano (1.037). Manager Joe Girardi says he will move Soriano between left field and designated hitter, and pitchers from the Red Sox, Orioles and Rays will have to respect him.
He will help. The big impact, however, will come if they can get the Rodriguez contract off the books and start reconstructing their ancient roster. Win or lose, it's the feel-bad story of the season.
Slippery slope: It's easy to understand why Matt Kemp would suggest Ryan Braun should be stripped of his 2011 MVP award. But neither MLB nor the Baseball Writers Association of America has shown a desire to revisit awards won by players who subsequently were linked to steroid use.
Kemp said he was disappointed when Braun's negotiated suspension was announced Monday.
"I don't like to get lied to," said Kemp, who finished second to Braun in the 2011 vote. "I don't think anybody likes to get lied to. I think a lot of other people feel the same way. I'm not the only one in that boat. I'm just another one of those guys on the list who are disappointed in what has come about in the last couple of days."
Beginning with the late Ken Caminiti in 1996, 21 of the last 68 MVP and Cy Young awards have gone to players who have been linked to PED use or strongly suspected of being users. Would it be fair to strip Braun and not give the 2000 MVP to Frank Thomas instead of Jason Giambi? It seems awfully difficult to draw that line.
Up next: Braun's suspension has put the Rangers and Tigers on notice. They cannot count on having Nelson Cruz and Jhonny Peralta with them for their playoff push and, without a terrific resolution to the case for them, could be missing those important players in the postseason.
At some point soon, MLB will go to the players union with the list of players facing suspensions from Biogenesis (most likely 12 to 15 players, including minor leaguers). The length of suspensions essentially will be negotiated, and players will have to decide whether to begin serving the suspensions immediately, as Braun did, or delay them on appeal (and probably risk longer suspensions).

In the report of the P1020A data, atazanavir satisfied PK criteria at a dose of 205 mg/m2 in pediatric subjects when dosed with ritonavir.1 However, given the available atazanavir capsule dose strengths, it is not possible to administer the exact mg dose equivalent to the body surface area-based dose. A study of a model-based approach using atazanavir concentration-time data from 3 adult studies and 1 pediatric study (P1020A) supports the use of the following weight-based atazanavir/ritonavir doses that are listed in the current FDA-approved product label for children aged ≥6 to <18 years:

barbecuing and skiing, and never really have to let the party end. Because, hey, they live next door to each other in cool, hand-built, matching houses, where there's plenty of room for girlfriends.
More on Shine: Tiny House, Big Freedom
That's every-day life for Roland Zehetbauer and Ted Wardlaw, who decided to commit to their bromance when they built side-by-side contemporary houses on the same Portland, Oregon, lot, moving in last year. It was the lucky continuation of a friendship sparked when the two men were neighbors, married with children.
More on Yahoo!: Homebuilding Takes a Breather, Wholesale Prices Up
Now, after each going through a divorce and simultaneously wondering what their next move would be, they are once again neighbors, this time in side-by-side, 1,500-square-foot glass-and-wood houses that they built and helped design, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Many weekends are spent together on outdoor-sports excursions—skiing, climbing, biking—as well as on double dates with each other's girlfriends, all of whom get along well with each other.
"I thought, well why not choose my neighbor if I can?" Zehetbauer, a furniture designer who owns the Portland store Altura and took the design-planning lead with PATH Architecture, told Yahoo! Shine. He purchased the lot and had first planned to build three houses and sell or rent out two, but then a light bulb went off, and he approached his pal with a plan. Now, he added, "It's nice to go on my terrace and see Ted there barbecuing, and I say, 'What are you doing for dinner? What do you have? What do I have?' And then we wind up eating together. That happens a lot, actually,"
Wardlaw, a sports-marketing consultant, agreed. "It's super-nice to have someone you can rely on and can share things with," he told Shine, adding that, when they were working together on the houses, he would sometimes refer to Roland as his partner.
"Then there would always be this uncomfortable need to say 'building partner,'" he said. "People who don't know us might think we're gay, but part of the reason we're able to get along so well, I think, is that we're not. There's none of that relationship tension."
The Wall Street Journal story referred to the two friends as a modern-day "Odd Couple," with the detail-oriented Zehetbauer as Felix. That made Wardlaw chuckle. "I was like, wait, I'm supposed to be Oscar? I shave!" he said with a laugh. "But there's some truth to that for sure. Roland is super detail-oriented, and I'm much more easygoing. But our differences complement each other pretty well."
For the building project, Zehetbauer, who grew up in a woodworking family in Austria, acted as general contractor, and also enlisted the help of his brother to prefabricate the windows and siding. Then Zehetbauer and Wardlaw built the houses and interior cabinetry themselves, putting in thousands of hours of labor over about two years and spending only about $400,000 on the project (in addition to many more "soft costs," Zehetbauer added).
"People always say not to go into a big project like this with a friend," Wardlaw said. But the two had spent a lot of time discussing urban living, their ideals, and they were on the same page. And, Wardlaw said, not having to go it alone allowed him to build his "dream house" when he might not have otherwise been able to. Plus, he said, "When you climb with someone, you have to trust each other and have each other's backs."
So they worked together well, he said, always keeping in mind that "the most important thing is that we remain good friends," and not to let the project come between them.
The project, called Graham Towers by architect Ben Kaiser, was a wonderful one to be involved with, he told Shine. "It was an interesting process working with these two longtime friends…and a rather seamless process through their life transitions. The houses are such a perfect representation of that."

Earn Money By Writing Review Blog Posts
September 14, 2009 by Chris
Filed under Writing skills
Blogging is all about business that involves money; everyone's individual goal meets somewhere or the other at similar lines that is earning money. With blogging being a latest craze amongst individuals every body is learning about its concepts, the way of writing blogs, how to get ads, back links, key words, etc. even if some might know about all this, there is still something to it, without which your blog cannot run! You need that innate power to attract audience by writing convincing creative articles. There are so many websites writing about the ways that will lead them easy money, some are company ads site where you need to fill up the questionnaire, general questions relating to products, some websites require content writers for the site and some develop their own blogs network. On internet, money making is not at all difficult you need to know the right tactics to make money and brains to write creative material.
Once when you get started with your own blogs, there are number of methods to earn money, one by reviewing a product, review for companies, review about markets and more. You can help company sell their products through affiliate marketing strategies, if you really want to sell the company products through your blog then the best is to write a genuine, comprehensive article about the company and its product. To get to the bottom of core writing, you need to understand the difference in writing reviews as conventional advertising or a review. Conventional advertising will speak only about a particular product, or a company. It strictly speaks about the features the company wants to portray while a Reviews will contain good as well bad of the product or a company, it compares the product to other brands and speaks how good or bad a particular product is. Lets talk about writing reviews that will help a company to sell its products:
- The first and foremost challenge for a writer to write a review is to come up with something that is honest yet favoring a company for good that will bring revenue to your blog. You can write all the details about the product as well the features which you like in the product when personally used.
- Keep yourself in the reader's shoes, and guess how they are going to react after reading your review. The questions that may come to their mind while buying a product, you must be able to answer those, if not, then there is something wrong with your review.
- Give your readers, various in-sight to the product and how it is beneficial compared to other brands in the
market, tell them indirectly as if there is no choice.
- You might write good points about the product but not everything is perfect as it might seem to you, some people might have misconceptions or mindset regarding a particular product part, you need to come up with good as well as the drawbacks of the product but putting it on a lighter side of the overall review. If you real want to build a great blogging network, then write honest.
- Whatever you may write; remember your audience, their behavior, the mentality, reaction, understand them and write reviews accordingly.
- Summarizing at the end of the blog is a good idea, that lets you audience have grip on what you were saying all this while and help them figure out, what's in store for them.
Once done with successfully reviewing the product features, you are almost done 50% selling the product to the consumers, wait for the response and see if you need any further improvement in your blog language. Credibility is all that counts in blogging world so you as a writer are credible for every transaction that happens between the 2 parties, don't break the customer's trust in the company.

Score: Common Sense 1, Zero Tolerance 0
Outcome in Montana should be lesson for educators everywhere
"..Instead of a Zero Tolerance policy putting Demari DeReu on trial, it is the other way around. The controversy in Columbia Falls has properly put Zero Tolerance to the test, and it flunked.
"On the other hand, the school board and school administrators, including Superintendent Mike Nicosia get a passing grade. If nothing else, they have set a new high standard for grace under fire. High marks also go to the 150 or so public-minded citizens who turned out on a chilly Monday evening to support Miss DeReu, some coming from great distances. It was reported that a couple of police officers were in the gym at Glacier Gateway Elementary, where the meeting was held. Why? Did they expect the good citizens of Montana to be as irrational as the Zero Tolerance policy they came to challenge?..."

I finally found a Las Vegas 89109 Chinese food delivery restaurant. Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant. The service charge is a little high but the food is hot on arrival and is very authentic.
Out of all the Las Vegas Chinese Restaurants Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant on the corner of Valley View and Spring Mt. is my favorite. The reason for this recommendation is simple; With quick Chinese food delivery to 89109 they are by far the only and best for me! I will keep ordering delivery and going to the restaurant on the weekends. Love these guys.
Kung Fu is by far the best of the Las Vegas Chinese restaurants in the valley. The egg rolls are so tasty (be careful they are very hot in the middle) The chow mein dishes are my favorite. If you still have room they have the best coconut ice cream for desert! YUMMY!!!!
Well worth the money! Amazing service and tasty thai food in Las Vegas, highly recommended! Do not bother looking anywhere else, these people will take good care of you.
Their Thai Food is Amazing! They have been in business since 1973 and are the most locally authentic tasting. So If you are looking for an amazing Las Vegas Thai Food Restaurant then Kung Fu Thai and Chinese restaurants in Las Vegas, NV is worth the visit. They also have a new online ordering menu for delivery or takeout.
I really was happy with our Thai Food dinner in Las Vegas. Almost everything was prepared and cooked well, a little pricey, was still worthwhile. If you're searching for a nice Thai food restaurant in Las Vegas to eat out at, this is the spot.
Great Chinese take out. – Great chinese food, prompt service, and tasty. Delivery to the room!
Delicious – When I moved here this was the first Chinese place I ate a. It is located in Chinatown and the food is top notch. You have to try the fried Catfish!
The Best Orange Chicken I ever had. – If you don't need to be pampered, but want only good food, then this is the place to go. The orange chicken was rich and tasty with orange slices. They also have Thai Food, which is really good and authentic, surprisingly given their name, nonetheless we had their padthai, it was the best pad thai in the southwest, beats even the thai places in california. Prices are also low average around $8 a dish.

LINCOLN — Nebraska senior Brooke Thomason, like every softball veteran, knows how easy it can be to lose your edge in the winter.
The snow, the wind chill, the sunless days — that's not exactly softball weather. And there are no weekend road trips to break up the practice routine. No games to boost the enthusiasm.
It's why Thomason is grateful that seven freshmen joined the Huskers this fall. Because when coaches and upperclassmen are focused on teaching, there's less room for team-wide complacency. Even if the lesson is intended for a newcomer, that constant emphasis on the game's finer details tends to boost everyone's work ethic, Thomason said.
"This is the part of the season where (you can) get caught up in practices and not take full advantage of the practice time," she said. "But I haven't felt that. Every day we have a lot of positive energy."
They shouldn't have any trouble finding a reason to get excited now.
The season starts Friday at the Hotel Encanto Invitational in Las Cruces, N.M. The Huskers will face the tournament's host, New Mexico State, in their second game Friday.
NU won all five games in Las Cruces last year.
It's certainly not the opening weekend of a year ago, when the Huskers faced two top 15 opponents (Washington and Arizona) in their first two games.
That kind of top-level competition is on the schedule this year, eventually — Nebraska plays at Arizona on Feb. 15 before matching up against three Women's College World Series teams (Oklahoma, Oregon and California) a week after that.
"We are trying to build some momentum," coach Rhonda Revelle said.
A team that will likely be relying on several inexperienced players in key spots could use a little confidence. Especially after last season, when it finished third in a down year for the Big Ten and failed to make the NCAA tournament.
As many as five freshmen — outfielder Kiki Stokes, pitcher Emily Lockman, and infielders Hailey Decker, Dawna Tyson and Alicia Armstrong — could make immediate impacts for NU. Junior Tatum Edwards, who pitched sparingly over the last two years, is expected to be the team's new ace.
"The biggest question's going to be, how do they handle their emotions?" Revelle said. "That's what we're working on a lot as a staff."
Thomason and the three other Husker seniors have tried to help. They don't mind stopping a fast-paced practice to explain a drill or a new play.
There's still an adjustment, but Thomason said the young group has responded well.
"They are a little lost at times, but they've done a really good job," she said. "They help us stay focused. We're always learning."

These hair ties are amazing! Not only do they come in lots of fun colors, they are great for your hair! No creases like normal ponytail holders and NO pulling out your hair when you remove them! I had been ordering these for my grown daughters, somehow they left one here at my house! I used it and needless to say from now on, I am ordering them for me!!
They are cute and stretchy but for my thick hair they didnt hold. It constantly felt like it was slipping out!
I so desperately want to love this product. They just aren't strong enough to hold my thick hair without slipping out. I also found that they lost their elasticity after a while. A real disappointment.
I know these look cute on your wrist and everyone loves them but they just don't work very well for me. They tend to stretch out and start to look pretty dirty after a week or so.
Long hair becomes a going concern after 30, 35 and 40! I love these during a workout because I don't feel like I am breaking my strands when I break a sweat.
I use these hair ties all the time! Not only do they do a great job of holding my hair, but they're also cute to wear on your wrist to use later. I found that they do stretch out after a few uses. However, I accidentally threw one in the wash and found that it retained its shape and came clean, which was a bonus for the lighter colors that always seem to get dirty.
I bought these for my daughters, ages 19 and almost 18, and they love them! They stay put in their hair, whether they are playing basketball or just bumming in the house. They have never actually fought over hair ties before, but I think they may over these! :) I plan to get some for myself soon, too!
I wear my hair up in a ponytail a lot and love how gentle these hair ties are. My hair usually breaks after prolonged use of generic ponytail holders. I love the colors they come and are easy to find when thrown in my pocketbook.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these little guys! A friend with short hair got one in her box and gave it to me. They are so cute and non-tacky to have on your wrist during work. I am so disappointed to see that they are out of stock!
These are cute, and don't crease my hair-- but they also don't stay in. I ended up using the tiny clear rubber band style ties you buy in the drug store under this for the cute factor... but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Summary of Hometown Appetites Summary of Hometown Appetites Reviews for Hometown Appetites An Excerpt from Hometown Appetites
A rollicking biography of a pioneering American woman and one of our greatest culinary figuresSelected as one of the 2009 Kansas Notable Books In "Kelly Alexander and Cynthia Harris's smartly drawn, surprisingly uplifting biography [...] the authors share Paddleford's eye for a good story, deftly documenting their subject's well-deserved contributions to food journalism, but balancing them with biographical color."
In Hometown Appetites, Kelly Alexander and Cynthia Harris come together to revive the legacy of the most important food writer you have never heard of. Clementine Paddleford was a Kansas farm girl who grew up to chronicle Americas culinary habits. Her weekly readership at the New York Herald Tribune topped 12 million during the 1950s and 1960s and she earned a salary of $250,000. Yet twenty years after Americas best-known food editor passed away, she had been forgottenuntil now.
Before Paddleford, newspaper food sections were dull primers on home economy. But she changed all of that, composing her own brand of sassy, unerringly authoritative prose designed to celebrate regional home cooking. This book restores Paddlefords name where it belongs: in the pantheon alongside greats like James Beard and Julia Child.
-New York Post
"Alexander and Harris paint an affectionate portrait of the eccentric writer, an ebullient yet imposing individualist and charismatic adventurer...Rich, flavorful and spirited, like its subject and the cuisines she chronicled."
"At long last, an enthusiastic, significant rehabilitation of Paddleford's career as food writer from 1936 to 1966 at the New York Herald Tribune...The authors make an upbeat case for reconsidering Paddleford's achievement in this enjoyable read, and include a slew of her comfort recipes."

Undone was the first song I ever learned to play. Easy picking in the intro, and the solo is relatively easy too.
Photograph and Possibilities are really easy songs to play, and fun as well.
if you really get into music, and reading music, try purchasing one of the guitar tab books for one of the =w= albums.
I am fascinated by just listening to the songs and following the music. I usually hear something new every time.
Butterfly. It's four chords and a little riff.
good stuff on here....I am a beginner too!
Most are easy. When I was a beginner, I found it difficult to do the little hammer on from the opening riff of SIAS. That one has some bluesy stuff going on but it's super fun to play it. The solos can be good practice because they're generally a bit harder in my experience.

I have really enjoyed being able to experiment with the iPad in the classroom! First of all, thanks to our new GradesFirst system, taking attendance in class is easier than ever because I can use my iPad to do so using the Safari browser (and hopefully soon via a new GradesFirst app!). In addition, I have begun to explore the possibilities of using Keynote presentations instead of PowerPoint. The advantage of this is that I no longer need to email myself my PowerPoint presentation or save it on my flash drive – I can create my presentation in Keynote and project the image from my iPad.
I look forward to the fall semester when students will each have their own iPad, so that I can experiment with several apps in which they can directly participate in the discussion by answering questions or viewing what's on my own iPad screen.

i wish georges and ejim would stop the stupid "arms straight up i'm not fouling him but i really am" move. just move your feet and flop and we'd pick up 3-4 charges per game.
georges defense is actually pretty good - he moves his feet and is usually in good position. he's getting better and stopping his stupid fouls too. if booker or gibson moved like niang (sad but true) we'd have something.
About the only defensive stat (conference stats only) where ISU fares pretty well is in the defense of the 3 pt. shot, where they rank 4th in the conference. I'm not sure that is a reflection of ISU's defense or the inability of the other team to hit from behind the arc.
ISU is dead last in both steals and blocked shots. On blocked shots.....it is not even close. The closet team to ISU in blocked shots has nearly twice as many.
I really think that every Division I MBB team has to have at least one 6 10 or above shot blocker on its team. That player does not have to start, but has to be available when defensive stops are needed. It doesn't mean that person will always block every shot, but even the threat of a block can change the other team's offensive plan. IMO, ISU has problems with its interior defense and a shot blocker could help that.
In regards to steals....that is all about your guards. ISU's are pretty well balanced in the number of steals, with McGee leading the team, but the others not far behind. Hopefully, the new recruits will be better at this. Monte seems to do well in that area, but then it is high school, so it is hard to judge his level of competition.
I think defense needs to be much more emphasized with ISU under CFH. It's interesting if you look at FH's stats from ISU. His first year.....he had 65 steals in 34 games (which is a better average per game than ISU currently averages AS A TEAM). By his senior year, that number had dropped steadily to 39 steals in 34 games, probably a reflection of Orr's emphasis on offense rather than defense. Maybe that same attitude exists today.
Obviously a great offense will win you a lot of games. However, there are other good offensive teams out there, and sometimes a little more defense is necessary. Several of these losses (if not all of them) could have been wins if ISU had the capability of shutting down another team even for a few possessions at a critical time in the game.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".

That was bad defense....like no defense...we want to get the ball back for offense...
CFH HMagic bball season next year.
Let my Fred's Four Horsemen ride: Georges, Hogue, Nader, and McKay.
We can all talk about shot blockers, etc. but I don't think that's the problem. Remember the Butler's teams a couple years ago that went to the National Championship game, they played great defense, but they didn't have a lot of steals or blocked shots if I remember correctly. Instead they just played good fundamental defense. Stay low, hand in the face, move your feet, hedge screens, rotate when a player has to help or double team, box out and rebound.
Well, for the people who wanted Tyrus to start ahead of Babb, defense is the reason Babb starts. As much offensive punch as Tyrus gives us, he is not great on defense.
You know your team defense is bad when you are secretly hoping for an early foul in a tie-game situation where the other team is holding for the last shot.
Did anyone else feel the same way? Would've almost rather been down 2 with 20 seconds with the ball than tied while praying they don't get a bucket to win. I know its not rational and you can never intentionally foul there, but our offense was unstoppable.
The defense was bad during those last 7 minutes or so. One key turning point was when someone for Ok St. was driving through the lane so Lucious, instead of staying out on Paige Jr. decides to drop down and help, leaving the 3-point shot wide open and he buries it. Just little things like knowing who you're guarding...you don't leave that little white guy open outside, how hard is that??

Agree.....defense is about sticking with your guy, hustling, smart switches, etc. I actually would prefer we only try to block shots if the guy is good at it. I hate when someone averages 1 block per 5 fouls.

Your player evaluations of defense are more terrible than Ejim's 4th foul last night.
Fred played three years for Johnny and one for Tim Floyd. The first coach was all offense the other all defense. I think it is too bad he did not learn under Larry E. Larry taught defense but new the value of having more points than your opponent.
If you look at our rebounding, that's a defensive stat for the most part. We are not too bad. Where we tend to fall down is allowing opposing teams to score too many points. I think we are near the bottom of the Big 12 in points allowed per game. Some of that can be attributed to our style of offense. We get out and move the ball up the court, that gives our opponents more possessions. Our players are not making opponents take uncomfortable shots, and our guards are weak defensively in my opinion. The possible exception to this may be Bubu P. and of course Babb.
As time goes on I think we will see whether the reason our defense is less than sterling is because of the players ( I think most players would prefer to concentrate on offense as opposed to defense) or because of coaching style. The one glaring fault I would like to see this team correct concerns Korie L.. After he gets beat defensively our next trip down to our end of the court more times than not will be Korie L one on five, trying to get it back single handedly. It usually results in a four point swing advantage to the other team. That hurts. I thought there were times we played some good defense last night and got stops. We just needed more of them.

Agree on the first three for sure. After that, I just don't know. Clyburn got burned baseline several times last night, although it was that one really good player they had. I think Bubu's defense is better than several you have ahead of him, in particular Lucious. I used to think Booker's defense was OK and he got called for fouls other guys don't, but haven't seen much of him this year at all. But I think Tyrus' defense is the worst of the not Percy/Booker guys. Nothing against Tyrus, love him on offense, but it is what it is.
We have a couple guys who really struggle on defense, mainly Clyburn and McGee but last nights game was more about Okie St just being more athletic. They just seemed to be a step quicker at every position and it led to some easy buckets. This isn't really a knock on our guys, Okie St may be the most athletic team in our conference.
For most of the game it was OSU 2 - ISU 0.
Number of McDonalds All Americans on the court.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
No way should a team that shoots over 50% from the floor for the game and goes 13-24 from 3pt land lose.
Our guys play some of the WORST on ball defense of BCS teams I've seen this year. Guys just don't move their feet welland we do too much reaching. Plus I don't think we play smart defense to the situation. Lasr night Smarts game winning shot was a prime example. No way should Will have been that tight. Let Smart shoot the 3, but the one thing that can't happen is getting beat on the dribbleor fighting through the high pick! Will needed to go under.
I know Fred is selling an uptempo/NBA style offense- but championship teams and road games are won by solid defense, rebounding and getting to the line.
