[slideshow]On April 19th, we hosted a completely amazing and almost overwhelming media day at Hidden Oak Elementary School in Alachua County Florida to celebrate the county's 17 schools completing over 45,000 miles in this school year alone. Our incredible partner AvMed Health Plans, which funded the first 43 Morning Mile Starter Kits, flew in Vice President Barry Wagner (yellow AvMed t-shirt) to take part in the event, Alachua County Superintendent Dr. Daniel Boyd (purple jacket) came out to see what all the excitement was all about and 300-400 Hidden Oak students hit the field to show just how much they love their morning fitness program. Guess who else came out? Parents! We had parents galore and when they all (Executives, Dr. Boyd, hundreds of students and dozens of parents) hit the field, the emotion was palpable.
Never ever have I been around so many people, ranging from ages 5 to 75, who felt so happy, passionate and joyous about their ability to walk, run and move! It was an incredible celebration no doubt, and the feeling of pride surging through my (Fitz Koehler) body was intense. Principal Ron Knowles, Assistant Principal Holly Burton and Coach Steve Arnett have done an outstanding job creating an environment where all students are encouraged to participate in the Morning Mile and ensuring they are appropriately congratulated on their success. In fact, 5th grader Michael Shaver was honored as Hidden Oak's first student to complete 100 miles with his "100" charm for his Morning Mile necklace. This media day was a major success, but more importantly … it was a reflection of what was also going on at 16 other schools in Alachua County on that very day. Administrators, teachers, parents and students were coming together to walk, run, have fun and get healthy.
Our mission is simple: to get as many children moving in the mornings as possible. That means, we're going to expand across the nation. Florida schools are already on the move, but not all, so if you haven't already applied for a Morning Mile Starter Kit to make this magic happen at your school … do so here. Want this for your school in New York, Oklahoma or Washington? Let us know. Want to sponsor Morning Mile Starter Kits for Schools in South Dakota, Hawaii or Alaska? Let us know!

Two and a half weeks ago, on a Tuesday evening in the Negev desert, I was encamped with 34 teenagers from our Youth House and seven other staff members at Khan HaShayarot, a Bedouin tent complex. (Well, OK, so it's not really a Bedouin tent - it's for tourist groups. But it's staffed by actual Israeli Bedouin Arabs, and it really does consist of a bunch of large tents in the desert adjacent to a camel pen.) We had already eaten dinner and were preparing for a campfire with guitar and singing and s'mores, which, as we all know, are a traditional Bedouin campfire snack.
The time had come for us to recite ma'ariv, the evening service, and we created for the group a decidedly non-traditional tefillah experience. We lined them up as quietly as possible by the entrance to the camp, and then walked them one at a time out of the camp to a slight hill overlooking the camp. Each person was placed far enough from anyone else, to allow them to find their own quiet inner-space, distant enough from their friends so as to be able to hear the special silence one only hears in the desert. There was some light from the camp below us, and the moon offered us a shadowy sense of the hills around.
Silently, we took in the desert scenery, and I reminded everybody that we are a people that came from the desert, and that prophecy - the Torah, the words of the Prophets - has always been channeled to us in the desert. We then faced north, towards Jerusalem, and recited the words of the Shema and the silent Amidah. After yet more silent reflection, we returned, one at a time, to the camp and the campfire.
Danny Mishkin, director of the Youth House, asked our teens at this point, before the s'mores, to write down a few words about the importance of being on a journey and how that related both to our trip to Prague and Israel and to being Jewish in general. We sat quietly, and everybody spent a few minutes writing in their bound siddurim, which we prepared specially for the trip, incorporating open space for journaling along the way.
The thoughts expressed were striking. One of the participants wrote the following:
"Tonight was THE most memorable experience thus far. I have never felt as connected to God. Standing in the desert at night with the stars, praying as one group, singing Oseh Shalom made me tear up."
Another connected the experience to the departure from Egypt:
"As I was walking to the top of the hill, I couldn't help but think of the Jews leaving Egypt. We have always been a moving people… never fully at home until we received Eretz Yisrael."
A third related the struggle for the modern State of Israel to the long Jewish journey of the soul:
"It is obvious that in Jewish history, things did not always come easy, such as the land of Israel itself. Endless days of travel breeded an unexpected but needed bond between Jews with the same end goal. By experiencing the same emotions of joy, sorrow, and by just achieving a general sense of what our people collectively had to go through just for the sake of a religion makes this bond unbreakable."
You might make the case that the essential message of the Torah is that being Jewish is about the journey. Think about it: Noah is sent on a journey by boat that will guarantee a future for humanity (and Noah's ark does not actually GO anywhere - it has no steering mechanism). Abraham is called upon to leave his father's house and his homeland to go on a journey to an unknown place, which will some day be called Israel (after his grandson Jacob). Joseph is sent on an unwilling journey to Egypt, and then the rest of his family follows him. Moses is tasked with leading the Israelites on the ultimate journey of redemption: up out of slavery, and back to the land of Israel. And on and on.
It is the journey that defines us as Jews. In this day and age, when we are free to choose our identities, free to opt into or out of our tradition, it is the experiences, the memories, that will inform who we want to be, whether being Jewish matters and how we want our Jewishness to manifest itself in everyday life.
Our parashah today, Parashat Vayiqra, is also about an ancient aspect of the Jewish journey. As our bar mitzvah, Yoel, pointed out, it is about a series of essential sacrifices. But all the more so, as Yoel also argued, the sacrificial system that is laid out in the Torah and that was practiced by Israelites for nearly 1,000 years in the First and Second Temple in Jerusalem, was only a point along the way to developing a much better system of accessing the Divine: tefillah, prayer. And he is in good company here. Maimonides, the 12th-century physician and commentator, one of the biggest names on the Jewish bookshelf, said the following about sacrifices in his philosophical work, Moreh Nevukhim, the Guide to the Perplexed:
"Sacrificial service is not the primary object, but rather supplications, prayers, and similar kinds of worship are nearer to the primary object."
In other words, the Torah describes the sacrifices in detail. But that form of worship was not God's ultimate plan for us. Maimonides, writing more than a millennium after the destruction of the Second Temple, believed that prayer was the higher goal. Sacrifice, after all, was limited; it only took place in the Temple, and was performed by an intermediary: the kohen, the priest, who took your sheep or ram and offered it up to God. "But," Maimonides states, "prayer and supplication can be offered everywhere and by every person."
So why did God give us all of these mitzvot if the higher goal was prayer? Because, said Maimonides, the Israelites needed to be weaned from the idolatrous ways of the Egyptians and the Canaanites in a way that did not challenge what they were familiar with too severely. God's plan was that eventually we would offer the words of our hearts rather than the bounty of our flocks.
What we do today as Jews when we gather in synagogues, or when we offer berakhot before and after meals, or when we communicate with God alone, is the superior form of worship. The spiritual journey from sacrifice to prayer amounts to a democratization of our connection with God.
Vayiqra, ladies and gentlemen, is one leg of our spiritual journey. And we as a people, and as individuals, are on a constant journey. Every single one of us here.
Some of us might be aware of this - there are active seekers among us, looking for that next spiritual high, searching for meaning within and without. You know who you are.
Most of us, however, are probably not aware of our journeys. Our lives are complex - we are thinking about many things - the job, the family, the kids, the next vacation, or how am I going to make the next rent check, or how am I going to help my cousin who is battling drug addiction, or how on Earth am I going to broach the topic of end of life choices with my parents? We have too many things to worry about. Who has time to be concerned with our spiritual needs?
But we all have them. Jews and non-Jews. And, I think, Jews more than most, because, at least in the Diaspora, we have always been on the outside. We ask ourselves, what does it mean to be Jewish? How can I be both Jewish and American? Why should I care, and if I don't care, what then is my relationship to this ancient tradition, handed to me by my parents and grandparents?
As Jews, we have always been on a journey, both physical and spiritual. The physical one was often forced upon us, and for our ancestors who suffered oppression and anti-Semitism wherever they went, it was this struggle that kept them Jewish. Today, in 21st century America, where our greatest enemy is indifference, we need to send ourselves on journeys to accomplish that task.
So where are we going? To quote the Hasidic Rebbe Nahman of Bratzlav, "Kol mah she-ani nose'a, ani nose'a raq le-eretz Yisrael." Everywhere I go, I am going to Eretz Yisrael. Not physically, but with every step, we are moving closer to Israel in spirit.
All the more so regarding the trip that we took with 34 Great Neck teens. The mind of the average high school student is in a bunch of different places at any given moment - they are thinking far more about all of the uncertainty and awkwardness of being a teenager: How will I fit in with this crowd or that? How can I convince my parents that I am more mature than they give me credit for? How do I balance school work with time for myself?
And our job was to cut through all of that classic teen stuff and help them along their spiritual journey. Because that is what visiting Israel is all about.
What made this trip work was not just Israel. It was not the combination of Israel and the Czech Republic, although that was really cool. It was not the tefillah, or the Kotel, or the desert, or the Bedouin tent, or the guide.
More than any of those things, it was the journey itself. It was voyaging together from here to there as we reflected on our experiences, as we sang and danced and welcomed the Shabbat on a Jerusalem rooftop. It was how we marveled at the tenacity and the tenuousness of the residents of the Terezin ghetto, who created a secret synagogue in a barn, as we sang in that synagogue Hannah Senesh's famous poem Eli, Eli to remember them and their striving to connect with their faith under such conditions.
What made the trip successful was the internal journey, the spiritual traveling that took us not from New York to Prague to Tel Aviv via Amsterdam, but from the Diaspora of the mind to the Promised Land of the heart, from the cool distance of the teenage identity struggle to the close connection with our ancient religious and national heritage.
We did that. And the greater we, the we of this community, should be proud of that. You gave these kids a series of memories that they will carry with them for the balance of their lives, that will always serve to reconnect them to Jewish life. So kol hakavod!
Rabbi Seth Adelson
(Originally delivered at Temple Israel of Great Neck, Shabbat morning, March 8, 2014.)

On behalf of Anaya-McKedy, P.C. posted in Violent Crimes on Thursday, August 4, 2011.
Today, the majority of criminal cases in Colorado and the rest of the country never go to trial. In fact, according to the American Bar Association (ABA), nearly 95 percent of criminal convictions result from defendants entering into a plea bargain with the prosecution.
In two amicus briefs filed recently before the United States Supreme Court, the ABA said that this means it is imperative for criminal defendants to have an effective defense attorney at the plea bargain stage to help guide them and make the right decisions.
Amicus briefs are briefs that are filed by people who have an interest in the outcome of a case, but are not actually parties to the case. The ABA's recent amicus briefs were submitted in two appeals filed with the Supreme Court by defendants who argue that the poor advice from their attorneys caused them to turn down favorable plea bargains.
In one of the appeals out of Michigan, the defendant was convicted after his lawyer told him to reject his pea offer based on confusion he had with the state law. In the other appeal, the defendant pleaded guilty to a felony even though there had been a misdemeanor plea deal available, which his attorney failed to tell him about.
On behalf of the defendants, the ABA's briefs asked the Supreme Court to find that an effective attorney is a constitutional right afforded to all criminal defendants at the plea bargain stage.
The ABA advised the Supreme Court that it should grant power to judges to remediate situations in which defendants lose out on plea deals because of an ineffective defense lawyer. The remediation may be to order a retrial or to grant the defendant the benefit of the lost plea deal, the ABA suggested.
In the aforementioned amicus briefs, the ABA has articulated how important effective lawyering is in criminal cases. In the most serious circumstances, the effectiveness of a defense lawyer can even mean the difference between life and death.

Today was a typical Sunday, I slept in after working six days last week [insert rant here], had some coffee, did my hair took off my super chipped nail polish, visited with my Mom and Sister a bit. Then J and I went to Barnes and Nobel for a little bit. I want to pick up Lolita (hence my title), and I got J a new POP! toy, this time a Cyberman. We looked around at the toys and the vinyl records in the music section as well as the magazines. On our way home we stopped for milkshakes.
I also photographed my new Penny Dreadful tarot cards that I received last week! They are pretty awesome, I'm so glad I've added them to my collection. The cards are purple with very simple, but beautiful illustrations. I haven't played around with them too much yet.
The newest addition to the POP Toy family is a Cyberman (from Doctor Who, for those of you not in the know), watch out he might delete you!
I have wanted to read Lolita for a very long time, I'm so glad I finally pick it up. I just started it, so far so good. I sort of knew what it was about going in. And I am a sucker for the classics. The copy I found at B&N is more for analysis, it's got foot notes and a twenty page forward. It's fine though, if I ever have a discussion on the subject, I'll be prepared.
My latest additions all together made for a great Sunday afternoon. Here's to the rest of the week! And on that note, it's time to end!
All for now,
Title from: Off To The Races by LDR

If you come to a legal adviser, do you expect clear-cut legal advice or a mixture of legal and commercial advice? In the modern world, it is usually the mixture of legal and commercial advice which is expected by clients, and is something which lawyers are trained towards in almost all fields.
What does this commercial advice entail? Does it mean advising clients about which the best business to set-up is or which company to invest in? No, this is not the role of a lawyer. Instead, the client should find value in lawyer who provides advice within the commercial setting of each individual client. Every single case is different, and requires intricate commercial analysis in order to understand the matter at hand and in turn advise accordingly.
There is an element of empathy required as the lawyer should literally put him or herself into the shoes of the client, thereby understanding exactly what the client wants. Where a client is not sure of what they need, it is the role of the lawyer to think commercially and find the correct solution. In all scenarios, there are often different solutions, and a matrix of factors must then be considered, for example, financial implications, political or economic scenario and also any cultural sensitivities.
It is the way in which the multiple factors are weighed up which makes a commercially aware lawyer. Those who perform this type of analysis with flair, should be recognized and placed into those difficult business and commercial decision making processes.

Business Studies / Economics
Whether its marketing, margins or manufacturing, consumer trends, capital outlay or annual turnover, business buzzwords form an increasingly important part in today's lexicon. And whichever industry beckons your young economists or business students, commercial acumen and market awareness are paramount.
What better way to prepare your students for the competitive world of work than with visits to global industry leaders and renowned financial institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and the European Central Bank in Frankfurt.

Amsterdam & Dutch Coast
Amsterdam is an essential ingredient on any educational tour of the Netherlands, offering a wealth of sightseeing opportunities, from world-famous museums to a vibrant cosmopolitan culture. For students of Economics or Business Studies, visits could include a diamond factory tour, a flower auction, or take a behind-the-scenes look at Schiphol Airport.
One of our most popular destinations, Berlin is an ideal venue for general interest educational tours in addition to a wide variety of specialist subjects, including Science, History, Business Studies and Art. A visit to the BMW Motocycle plant, or a tour of a local brewery or long-established porcelain factory offer a great insight into the world of commerce.
Brussels is a fabulous city within easy travelling distance of the UK where traditional Flemish architecture goes hand in hand with an abundance of Art Nouveau and space-age structures.

For students of Business or Economics, there's no shortage of opportunities to provide subject-specific context. Visits could include the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Toyota Mega Web, Panasonic Center, Sony Building or Honda Welcome Plaza.
Capital of Bavaria, Munich is Germany's third-largest city boasting centuries-old tradition and modern-day technology. Munich may perhaps be best-known for Oktoberfest as well as its Christmas Markets, yet it offers a wealth of interesting visit options eminently suitable for school trips. Business students should be sure to visit BMW Welt and Museum, the car maker's global HQ.
One of Europe's most beautiful cities, Paris effortlessly combines grand buildings, glorious monuments and a never-ending selection of galleries and museums. It's also an important commercial centre, its Défense area the equivalent of the city in London. A tour here and of the international Rungis Market make interesting visits for students of Economics and Business Studies.
Barcelona & Catalonia

Drowning is the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion and/or immersion in liquid. Outcomes of drowning are classified as death, morbidity, or no morbidity. According to the WHO, it's the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for seven percent of all injury-related deaths. Annually, there's an estimated 360,000 drowning deaths worldwide. These global estimates may underestimate the actual public health problem related to drowning.
People with increased access to water—especially males and children—face a higher risk of drowning. Moreover, the global burden from drowning can be found in all economies and regions. Low and middle income countries account for over 90 percent of unintentional drowning deaths. And more than half of the world's drowning occurs in the Western Pacific Region and Southeast Asia Region. Not to mention, the death rates from drowning are highest in the African Region and are 15 to 20 times higher than those in Germany or the United Kingdom.
Several studies have revealed information on the cost impact of drowning. In the United States, 45 percent of drowning deaths are the most economically active segment of the population. Coastal drowning alone accounts for $273 million each year in direct and indirect costs. In Australia and Canada, the total annual cost of drowning deaths is US $85.5 million and US $173 million. In general, males are especially at risk of drowning and have twice the overall mortality rate of females. They're more likely to be hospitalized than females for nonfatal drowning. If you can handle it, here's a look at 15 of the most devastating deaths by drowning.
14 Twin Boys Drown In Backyard Pool
Suffolk County police confirmed the death of twin toddlers who died on July 26, 2017. The three-year-old boys drowned in their backyard pool in Long Island. A 911 call came in about 8:40 a.m. from a home on Holly Court in Melville. The boys were found in the family's pool, which was filled with murky green water. The boys' mother called police to say she found her son, Nicholas Aurilia, in the home's in-ground pool. She pulled her child from the water only to find that he wasn't breathing. The mother began CPR on Nicholas while telling 911 that the boy's twin brother was missing. Officers responded and found the second child in the pool.
Both toddlers were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead. The boys' deaths appear to be an accident. Detectives with the department's homicide squad are investigating the tragic incident. Also, the Town of Huntington will assess whether the pool violated any town regulations, but it appeared that the property was in compliance.
13 Teenage Boy Jumps Off A Roof And Into A Lake
Demarcus White was the youngest of three children. He had just gotten promoted to the 11th grade, ran track and always spoke out in Sunday school classes. The 17-year-old Shreveport, Louisiana native was attending a youth church group outing and spending the summer with his biological father in Texas for the first time when, according to Texas game wardens, White jumped off the roof at a party and into Lake Lavon, an area lake just outside of Dallas, Texas. The victim's mother was too shaken to speak, but the family's pastor spoke to KTBS-3 investigative reporter Shon Gables. Pastor Bobby Washington said that the family questioned inconsistencies with the story and how White, who couldn't swim, ended up in the water. Washington also claimed that Demarcus hated the water and may have been possibly left behind or even pushed into the water.
White, along with 19 other teens and two adults, went for the boat ride one Sunday afternoon. Life jackets were allegedly on the boat, but none of the teens were wearing them. The boat trip was sponsored by the Fellowship Church in Dallas.
12 Rescue Leads To Two Drowning Deaths
In a tragedy that haunted two families, a 20-year-old man fell or jumped into the Hudson River on Pier C in Hoboken, New Jersey on April 13, 2014, and after his 24-year-old friend jumped in to rescue him, both men drowned. Hoboken police and family members identified the men as Elias Serrano, 20, and Edwin Cruz Jr., 24.
New York Harbor Police pulled the bodies from the Hudson River at 7:55 a.m. and 8:10 a.m. The incident was first reported to Hoboken police at 5:35 a.m. Nine of Serrano's siblings, and his mother received the devastating news at Hoboken police headquarters on Hudson Street that morning. The mother reportedly collapsed to the floor in grief and required oxygen, but was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Hoboken police officials said that the incident remained under investigation, but foul play wasn't suspected.
11 Man Dies From Electric Shock Drowning
A 19-year-old man named Evan Currine died on June 17, 2017 after being shocked by an electric current in the water near his family's boat at Put-In-Bay, Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Currie's family docked their boat—a 33-foot Sea Ray Sundancer—at Miller Marina around 6:30 p.m. and plugged the shore power into the boat. A short time later, the dog fell into the water and began to struggle. The father, Jeffrey, jumped into the water and began to struggle as well. The two sons then jumped in to help. The mother was still on board as bystanders instructed her to unplug the shore power. As soon as she unplugged, the electrical current in the water stopped. Everyone got back on board but Evan was unresponsive and convulsing.
According to an ODNR spokesperson, Evan died at the scene. ODNR had an independent electrician investigate the dock Friday but found no problems with the dock. An inspection of the boat was performed on a later date.
10 Sunbather Falls Victim To Electric Shock Drowning
There's a reason why electric shock drowning was mentioned again. They're difficult to track. That's why they're known as silent killers. Even a low level of electric current in the water can be extremely hazardous (or fatal) to a swimmer, especially in freshwater, where experts say that the voltage will take a shortcut through the human body. There's no visible warning (or way) to tell if water surrounding a boat, marina, or dock is energized or within seconds will become energized with fatal levels of electricity.
15-year-old Carmen Johnson died from electric shock drowning while swimming near her family's Alabama lake house in April of 2016. Her parents spoke out about the rarely-reported phenomenon after it took the lives of two more local women in April of 2017. The two women, 34-year-old Shelly Darling and 41-year-old Elizabeth Whipple, went missing after sunbathing on Lake Tuscaloosa. Their bodies were eventually retrieved from the lake. Autopsies for the two victims showed the cause of death as electrocution.
Man Struggles To Stay Afloat While Being Recorded By Teens
In a graphic two-plus-minute video, five teen boys between the ages of 14 and 16 were heard laughing as a 31-year-old man named Jamel Dunn struggled to stay afloat in a pond near his family's Cocoa, Florida home. Instead of calling for help, the teens recorded the incident on a cell phone, warned the man that he was going to die, and didn't intend to help him. At one point, one of the teen boys laughed and said "he dead."
The victim's sister, Simone Scott, said that she received the video of her brother's drowning after the deadly incident. She subsequently posted the video publicly on Facebook. Local police said that on the morning Dunn drowned, he got into a verbal altercation with his mother and possibly his fiancée. His fianceé left the home at 12:40 p.m. Based on the video, he went into the water at 12:50 p.m. and then drowned after struggling for 10 minutes. Despite the negative press, the teens who taunted the victim while filming his death from afar weren't charged.
9 Wife Of Former Bachelorette Contestant Drowns In Bathtub
The Bachelorette has featured plenty of contestants with baggage, but never quite like one man vying for Ashley Hebert's heart on Season 8. During its premiere, South Carolina-based prosecutor West Lee addressed losing the true love of his life in 2007 when his then-wife, Sarah Lee, drowned in the couple's bathtub. West mentioned that she had mental health problems and a history of seizures. One day, she went and got in the bathtub, and he checked up on her, but found her face down in the tub so he pulled her out and called 911.
After a lengthy police investigation, Lee had nothing to do with his wife's death, but the story's rather complicated as there were allegations of drug use by both him and his wife. West was cleared, but Sarah's mother, Dianna Sapp, struggled to believe it. According to the police report, Sarah's death was caused by accidental fresh water drowning. West also admitted that he was under the influence of marijuana at the time. On the show, West confessed that Sarah's death hurt more than anything he has ever felt in his life and added how part of his heart—the trusting part and the loving part—just vanished and died.
8 Drowning Death Of Child Actress Remains A Mystery
Natalie Wood was a child actress who grew up to maintain success in her adult years but made headlines even in her questionable death. She allegedly drowned, but the events leading up to her drowning have been a source of speculation since she died on a Thanksgiving weekend in 1981 at the age of 43. In 2012, the Los Angeles County coroner's office reopened her case, amending her official cause of death from accidental death by drowning and hypothermia to drowning and other undetermined factors.
The truth of the matter is, Wood was on a boat with her husband, Richard Wagner, off the coast of Southern California. Two other people, actor Christopher Walken and the boat's captain Dennis Davern, were also there. That night, Wood went overboard and died. She had a blood alcohol level of .14 along with painkillers and seasickness medications in her system. Her body was bruised, after fighting with Wagner earlier that night. But the couple made up. Wagner wasn't considered a suspect. However, Wood's death is far from the only mysterious Hollywood ending.
7 Connecticut Man Dies After Jumping Off World's Longest Suspension Bridge
A Connecticut man was headed to Brooklyn, New York when he jumped over the structure after parking his car. He died after jumping off America's longest suspension bridge, New York's Verrazano-Narrows bridge, on May 7, 2017. New York Police Department officers rescued the unconscious 37-year-old, gave him CPR, and took him to the Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island, where he died.
The man's identification documents obtained by law enforcement showed a Connecticut address and New Jersey license plates. The incident occurred on the same bridge where the Five Borough Cycling Tour took place, but the event with nearly 32,000 bike riders wasn't disrupted. This bridge increasingly became notorious for suicides over time. Last August, a 27-year-old father of three jumped to his death. The trend became so much of an issue that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority placed signs and a half dozen phones on the bridge in order to discourage potential jumpers.
6 Kitchen Nightmares Contestant Commits Suicide After His Appearances
Yet another reality TV contestant met a tragic end. Joe Cerniglia, a chef at the New Jersey restaurant, Campania, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge on September 28, 2010.
In 2007, Cerniglia was featured on celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's restaurant rehab show, Kitchen Nightmares. The often outspoken Ramsay unleashed his anger on Cerniglia, a 39-year-old husband and father of three. At the time Cerniglia was featured on the show, he was more than $80,000 in debt. Ramsay said, "Your business is about to f****** swim down the Hudson. Why did you become a chef-owner if you haven't a clue how to run a business?" In a cruel bit of irony, Cerniglia's body was found floating in the Hudson River. However, this wasn't the first time a contestant from a Ramsay show committed suicide. In 2007, Rachel Brown fatally shot herself a year after competing on Hell's Kitchen. That being said, screening the contestants before they join a show may not be enough.
5 Whitney Houston Drowns In A Foot Of Hot Water
Whitney Houston seemed destined to become a singer from birth. Her mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, and godmother Aretha Franklin were all legendary figures in American gospel, soul, and pop music. Whitney is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She released seven studio albums and two soundtrack albums.
Whitney visited singers Brandy and Monica at their rehearsals for Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Awards party at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California on February 9, 2012. That same day, she made her last public performance when she joined Kelly Price on stage in Hollywood and sang "Jesus Loves Me."
Two days later, Whitney was found unconscious in Suite 434 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, submerged in the bathtub. Beverly Hills paramedics arrived at 3:30 p.m. and performed CPR on the unresponsive singer. Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. On March 22, 2012, the Los Angeles County coroner's office reported that the cause of Houston's death was drowning and the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use. Toxicology results revealed additional drugs in her system—diphenhydramine, alprazolam, cannabis, and cyclobenzaprine. The death was listed as an accident.
4 Bobbi Kristina Brown Dies From Drowning And Drugs
Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown proved the age-old phrase "like mother, like daughter" when Bobbi tragically died at age 22 on July 26, 2015. Nick Gordon and one of his friends found Brown face down in a bathtub in her Alpharetta, Georgia home on January 31, 2015. Gordon began CPR until emergency medical services personnel arrived. According to a police spokeswoman, Brown was alive and breathing after being transported to North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Georgia. She further stated that they found no evidence to indicate that the incident was caused by drugs or alcohol.
As time went by, an autopsy revealed that she died from lobar pneumonia after spending five months in a coma. As to the cause of death, the Medical Examiner's office said that cannabis, alcohol, and a prescription medication used to treat anxiety and/or sedation were found in Brown's body. They cited the underlying cause of her death as immersion associated with drug intoxication. May she rest in peace with her mother.
3 Arva Flour Mill Co-Owner Dies From Jet Ski Accident
A family was devastated by a drowning near the Arva Flour Mill in Arva, Ontario, Canada. The co-owner of the family business, Steven Matthews, drowned while using a jet ski on an Arva pond during a lengthy stretch of heavy rainfall that raised water levels across the region. The drowning happened at about 5:30 p.m. on Sunday May 7, 2017 when Matthews was found with no vital signs. He was alone on the jet ski and his death wasn't considered suspicious. The death came about one month after a 23-year-old Cambridge man named Nicholas St. Pierre-Beke died after his canoe capsized on the Nine Mile River in Nova Scotia.
In the midst of several straight days of heavy rain, local police advised people to stay away from bodies of water. In the 48 hours that ended that Saturday, the area received as much as 50 millimeters of rain. London-Middlesex paramedics, volunteer firefighters from the Middlesex Centre Fire Service, and victim services of Middlesex-London attempted to revive Matthews, but were unsuccessful.
2 Rodney King Found At Bottom Of Pool
Rodney King was a taxi driver who was pulled from his car and beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers following a high-speed car chase. Video footage showed four officers surrounding King, striking him repeatedly, while other officers stood by. Four officers were charged with assault with a deadly weapon and use of excessive force. Three were acquitted of all charges. The jury acquitted the fourth officer of assault with a deadly weapon but failed to reach a verdict on the use of excessive force. The jury deadlocked at 8-4 in favor of acquittal at the state level. Within hours of the acquittals, the riots started and lasted for six days. 55 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured.
King became a symbol for police brutality and troubled relations. He was eventually awarded a $3.8 million settlement, but the money and fame brought him little solace. He had repeated run-ins with the law and wrote a book to recall his struggles. His fiancée, Cynthia Kelly, found him lying at the bottom of the swimming pool in his Rialto, California home. His autopsy reports stated that he died of accidental drowning and that a combination of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, and PCP were found in his system.
1 Wisconsin Family Seeks Answers After Daughter's Mysterious Death During Mexico Vacation
It started off as a family vacation to remember—walks on sandy beaches, poolside relaxation, and a tropical atmosphere. But what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway quickly turned into a horrific nightmare. A Wisconsin family is searching for answers after their 20-year-old daughter, Abbey Conner, suddenly died at a Mexican resort this January. She was relaxing on winter break with her mother and stepfather, Ginny and John McGowan, and older brother Austin in Playa del Carmen when she mysteriously suffered a traumatic brain injury.
One day, the McGowans realized that something was wrong. Both Abbey and Austin were found unconscious and face down in chest-deep water. Austin survived, but Abbey was transferred to a Cancun hospital and later flown to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where doctors confirmed that she was brain dead. The family withdrew life support and donated her organs. But months later, they still don't know what actually happened.
The official cause of death was accidental drowning, but the family has doubts about that ruling. Austin reportedly said that they did a few shots before a group invited them to do a shot together. They all drank one, and that was all he remembered. Austin's blood alcohol level was 0.26 while Abbey's was 0.25.

the absolute pits
We're about to go from zero to TMI very very quickly. I have a bit of a deodorant problem.
I'm not sure what exactly it is, but the majority of conventional drugstore deodorants have a bit of an adverse effect on my underarms. I'm talking, red, itchy, etc. All of that glorious stuff. (Hey, I warned you we were getting to TMI territory). Actually, scratch that. I'm not about apologising for my body. Hey people - I'm a human. I sweat, I have hair, and I'm prettttty sensitive. Let's move on.
So yes - deodorant. I've spent the last year or two trying to figure out a deodorant that doesn't make my pits feel like I've rubbed them with poison ivy, and today I'm going to show you my spoils. A couple things first - whatever that thing is in normal deodorant that causes the issue, it's probably the thing that makes the sweating actually stop. There are a couple of compromises you're likely going to need to make if you're going to go this route. You need to come to terms with 1) that these products will make you smell nice but probably won't be able to stop you from sweating (which I am OK with because sweating is healthy and being inhibited from that I imagine is not-so) and 2) you're going to have to spend a bit extra. I don't like spending more than a few dollars on deodorant either, but whenever I've tried to switch back to drugstore brands I've always paid the price in serious discomfort. Okay, here's the goods:
1. The Healthy Deodorant by Lavanila Laboratories
This is my OG of upscale deodorant, and it's probably still my favourite. It's 100% natural and includes no aluminum, parabens etc. It has a very strong vanilla scent that reminds me of summer, but it's a weird mix of hippie/grandma vibes to me, but that's totally up my street. This one isn't the most effective with sweat but the vanilla scent really kicks in when you need it the most, but can be quite strong. If the smell isn't for you upon first whiff I'd give this one a pass because you'll be wearing it like perfume. This is a solid deodorant and I find it quite moisturising. They also sell this in a travel size which I wouldn't actually recommend because I find it everyone that I've bought has eventually broken apart and become useless before actually running out. Unfortunately for now this is only available in the US and Canada which means I stock up whenever I visit!
2. Deodorant - by Kai by Gayle Straza
I picked this one up in Liberty which means you know that I paid an exorbitant amount for it. If I remember correctly I bought this at a particularly desperate moment when I had run out of my Lavanila and had briefly tried to go back on the cheap stuff and instantly regretted. This one smells gorgeous - kind of like walking through a field of wildflowers - and feels proper luxe on the skin - I would recommend this one if you've recently had a reaction and are looking for something very soothing. This one is sulphate, paraben and aluminum free and includes vitamin E and oil of camomile if you're wondering what gives off those nourishing vibes. I don't find this one is particularly effective with sweat protection but the scent is quite covering without being too much. It's a solid stick which is the way forward people!
3. Equisetum by Korres
I picked this deodorant up pretty recently when I was in Greece because my Lavanila deodorant wasn't quite doing it for me. I think sometimes your body just gets used to a product and you need to change it up. This one is a liquid with a rollerball and has a very delicate fragrance that I cannot put a finger on - but damn son I like it. I find this one is actually quite effective so far with resisting sweat? I say this now but it has yet to go through the trials and tribulations of a sweaty summer so we'll see how that whole season goes. This one is aluminium salts free, paraben free, alcohol free and claims to be generally hypoallergenic. It also doesn't mark up your clothing, which is a definite upside considering the number of last-minute deodorant mark emergencies I've had in my lifetime.
I feel pretty confident with my line up but I'm curious - anyone have any other good recommendations?

Trek Bicycle Corporation has confirmed that it has acquired the WorldTour licence currently held by Leopard SA, the management company of the Luxembourg-based RadioShack-Leopard team. The Wisconsin-based bicycle manufacturer will join rivals BMC and Cannondale in becoming name sponsor of its own top-flight professional team, starting from next season. The news confirms press reports from Luxembourg earlier this month.
In a press release, Trek said that it would be looking to keep a number of existing RadioShack-Leopard riders - it didn't name names, but it has been reported that the team will be built around Fabian Cancellara, winner of the Flanders-Roubaix double this season, the second time he has achieved that feat.
Luca Guercilena, recruited as general manager in the wake of the departure of Johann Bruyneel, is to continue in his current role.
Trek also said that it is in negotiations with "several marquee athletes" adding that it would announce new signings "soon" - under current rules, the earliest that can happen is 1 August.
We're thrilled to be able to reach this agreement with Leopard," commented Joe Vadeboncoeur, vice president of Trek.
"The team has established a great foundation of staff and athletes. Great Athletes Ride Trek is something we are incredibly passionate about and we are looking forward to everything the future holds with this new team.
"We will have the ability to create more and better marketing content.
"The riders' nationalities represent our major markets and become an army of ambassadors at events all over the world.
"We can have better integration into new product development and the ability for hospitality and activation at events."
RadioShack-Leopard was born through the merger ahead of the 2012 season of what had been the US-based RadioShack-Nissan team, initially set up around Lance Armstrong, and Luxembourg's Leopard-Trek, built around Andy and Frank Schleck as well as Fabian Cancellara.
While it has enjoyed some notable victories such as those Classics wins by Cancellara, it has had plenty of problems including a reported breakdown in relations last year between the Schleck brothers and team management, Andy's long recovery from injury, and Frank's ban after failing a doping control at last year's Tour de France.
Team owner Becca, who has also reportedly been the subject of financial investigations by authorities in Luxembourg, commented: "I am proud to hand over this project to the people at Trek Bicycle, who have been a very dependable and loyal partner over the past three years.
"When we started in the summer of 2010 [the team first raced in 2011] we had a blank canvas in our hands, a puzzle.
"Now, three seasons later, we have a team that has won some of the biggest races of cycling with Fabian Cancellara and put two Schleck brothers from Luxembourg together on the podium of the Tour de France.
"I am also especially pleased to have launched the professional career of a young talented rider like Bob Jungels and that the team has become a major player in professional cycling.
"I believe cycling has entered a new era, in which a bike manufacturer like Trek Bicycle takes on full ownership of a team. I have taken a lot of pleasure in running this project and I wish the team and all its members a bright future," he added.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Sandra Bullock Shines In "The Proposal"
Member of the Boxxet Network of Blogs, Videos and Photos
Not arriving in theaters until June 12, 2009, here is a trailer for a Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds movie that looks like Bullock at her best.
In this comedy from Anne Fletcher ("27 Dresses"), Sandra Bullock is a Canadian immigrant who is a demanding and difficult boss. Upon discovering she's about to be deported, she rushes into a marriage of convenience with her young assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to prevent the catastrophe. One of the better romantic comedy trailers that I've seen in a while.
This trailer arrives to the blog-o-rama courtesy of TrailerAddict.Com.

Could any of you assist me with these couple of questions?
firstly i came of sted's Nov 13 praying for a decent nights sleep which never came about. My Consultant, when i explained that i am now becoming insomniac sent me to see an occupational therapist who i am currently working with. However, this has left me with noticeable dark circles under my eyes! I am getting married next May and want to reduce the darkness and start on any remedies now. Apart from cover makeup any ideas?
secondly, in work they have introduced new computers at 23inch screens. I informed our Admin that I would need a new anti glare screen and they provided me 2 weeks ago with a 19 inch privacy screen with some reduced anti glare? Suffice to say this isn't any good. I have been suffering with more migraine headaches, an ache over my left eye reducing my eye to a squint and it has exacerbated my eye problems from the lupus and ss. Could any of you recommend suitable anti glare screens that work could order that are reasonably prices?
Thanks, Lulabelle x

thanks for posting that. OMG, people are sooo stupid. It's the bicyclists fault for riding his bike on a public highway??!!! Get a clue folks!
I saw the clip not long ago. I don't watch those judge shows, but I like her. Jenn
That was quite entertaining. I wish that when Mrs. Jones brought up the scenario where she is backing out of her driveway and is hit by the cyclist, that Judge Judy, instead of getting mad at her for asking a question, would have pointed out that that collision would have been HER fault.
This case is just a prime example of the sad fact that there are a lot of people who view bicycles as toys, not vehicles, and can't seem to comprehend that they follow the same rules and have the same rights as cars.
It is also a prime example of the fact that there are a lot of people who don't respect the rights of others or feel obligated to take responsibility for their actions.
I especially liked the part where the dog owner is trying to prove it is the cyclist's fault for hitting her dog, and she asks, "Well, if I was backing out of my driveway and he hit me (as he's going by on the road) wouldn't that be his fault?"
No, dingleberry, it'd be YOUR fault for backing into traffic!
Edit: ooh, Froglegs, we had the same thought at the same time!
"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
Saw this bumpersticker "an untrained dog is an unloved dog" think it goes the same for an unleashed dog
I think they also said he was going 35 or so. Nice pace!! If that was a car the dog would be dead and whose fault is that? Not the drivers and so-called beloved pet is dead.
Spay and neuter your dogs folks, there aren't enough good homes yet there are plenty of folks like this.

No, they were arguing that he was 35 miles or so from home, and he shouldn't have been so far from home cuz then he wouldn't have hit their dog. He should've been closer to his house or on a bike trail instead, then their dog wouldn't have been victimized by the evil bicyclist.
35 was not his speed.
Nice of their kids to tell the cyclist about all the other bikes the dog chased, eh?
"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
that was great! Not to go OT slightly but if anyone sees a Judge Judy regarding a dog, a male and female (two different last names unless they change the names on the show) from WA, let me know? It was taped last week. Am not sure what it was about but am just mildly curious
+10 and high five judge! Let's buy that woman a bike
So, the law should follow that if we hit a REALLY BIG DOG with a really small car and flip the car, we can sue the owners - cool!!!
Think the kids will be in trouble?
So lesson is bikes should only be used on the bike path and very slowly? I suppose the off lead untrained dogs on the bike trail, that's still our fault.

A deer is a wild animal...we are responsible for the domestic animals we keep...the same way we are responsible for our children.
I'm not laughing. The cyclist was really hurt and that dog is gonna get killed some day...if he was riding "on a highway" imagine what else can come along and hit the dog....
grrrrrrrrrr. There's moral bankruptcy right there...not MY fault...
Discipline is remembering what you want.

It has been six months since I became CEO of ActiveRain, and as many of you know, it has been an eventful six months. I started as CEO of ActiveRain on April 11, 2011 with a commitment to invest in the underlying technology of ActiveRain, continue to foster a vibrant ActiveRain community, and make training investments to see greater success with our RainMaker premium blogging subscribers.
We have made good progress towards those goals. We have invested significantly in the ActiveRain technology, thanks to our technology lead Chris Paredes, Chris Beahm and Patrick Lesher from Market Leader and a team of consultants from around the country. The platform is much more stable now. We are not experiencing the outages that we have seen in the past. We have developed ActiveRain University with online training, webinars and guides to help both RainMakers and the community as a whole learn about real estate search engine optimization (SEO), blogging, and social media. Now ActiveRain University conducts 10-15 webinars per week on a wide variety of topics, some associated with ActiveRain and others which are just great training in real estate.
We also transitioned RainCamp from an in-person event to an online webinar, complemented by local in-person MeetUps. This was a tough decision, but we were losing money on in-person RainCamps and needed 3-4 people full time to support the activity. The new RainCamp Online format has appealed to a broader community (rather than just the members living in one area like Dallas or Los Angeles) and the first round of ActiveRain MeetUps were more successful than hoped, with more than 300 people attending 45 MeetUps around the country. Watch for much more to come around RainCamp Online and MeetUps.
While we have made progress in many areas, we continue to face challenges.
ActiveRain as a platform is now stable, but we want and need ActiveRain.com to be faster from a page loading perspective and easier to develop upon. As I have blogged about previously, the ActiveRain software platform (Ruby on Rails) and database (PostgreSQL) have not been updated in 5 years. Imagine not changing the oil, sparkplugs or filter in your car for five years and then asking it to race the Indianapolis 500. Because of this, ActiveRain suffers from occasional stability problems, slower page loading speeds, and challenges in developing new technology. More investment and capital is needed in the technology and in the business overall to take ActiveRain to new heights.
Today, ActiveRain has two large shareholders: Market Leader who owns 51% of the company and the founder Jon Washburn who owns 45% of the company. Market Leader decided to make an additional investment into ActiveRain and offered Jon Washburn the opportunity to participate equally / pro rata alongside them. Having started a new company called Daily Ticket, Jon Washburn chose to sell his shares to Market Leader and focus on his new company and other activities, rather than investing additional capital into ActiveRain. Though I am sure this was a very hard decision for Jon to make, it is the right decision from an entrepreneur's perspective. He was a minority shareholder in ActiveRain without day-to-day involvement in the business. Jon is also a savvy entrepreneur with great ambitions for Daily Ticket, so being asked to put more money into ActiveRain was a challenge.
Market Leader has owned 51% of ActiveRain for more than a year, since September of 2010, when two ActiveRain founders Matt Heaton and James Hillyerd sold their shares in ActiveRain. Market Leader has invested close to $4M (!) into ActiveRain to-date and believes in the vision of ActiveRain as an independent community of real estate professionals, with an editorial voice. In the past, Market Leader has been a great partner supporting ActiveRain in visible ways through our technology challenges and sponsoring our new business initiatives. Market Leader has also been very helpful in ways less visible to the community, but very important to the company like lending ActiveRain their HR department to help with employee benefits and recruiting.
Going forward, Market Leader will own 100% of ActiveRain and will continue to invest to make ActiveRain the leading blogging platform and social network in real estate. ActiveRain will operate independently from Market Leader just as it has been doing for the past five years, and I will continue as the CEO. ActiveRain has a separate office in a different location. Market Leader does not plan on integrating ActiveRain into Market Leader, though we at ActiveRain will have more access to assistance from Market Leader (like with technology and HR).
So, where does ActiveRain go from here? We continue to focus on building and fostering the ActiveRain community. We here at ActiveRain are excited by the opportunities to invest in and enhance the community and the website ActiveRain.com Over the next three months, you will see us improve the technology platform, re-design key pages on the site, and leverage the collective knowledge of the community to assist both real estate professionals and consumers through the home buying and selling process.
Watch for great things.
As most of you know, I am very available and will answer questions and comments posted as best I can.

We know it's difficult to estimate how much a project will cost, that's why we've surveyed our tradesmen to give you an idea of how much you should expect to pay for specific jobs. Tradesmen all across the country have contributed to the cost guides, so the costs you see are an approximate national average.
|Wet room preparation
Turning your bathroom into a wet room or adding a separate wet room is a modern bathroom trend that has a lot going for it. It looks good, gives you a feeling of freedom and can add value to your home. It does not, however, come cheap. There is a lot of preparation work to be done in order to create a wet room, as you are creating an environment which is watertight and in which any and all surfaces may get wet.
This means that you will have to ensure that your walls and floor are water-resistant, as well as making sure that all fixtures and fittings can stand up to being wet or exposed to more damp and steam than you may get in a normal bathroom.
In most cases the entire bathroom or shower room will be designated as a wet room, although some prefer to create what is effectively a half wet room, by placing the wet room within a larger standard bathroom. The wet area is then separated from the rest of the room, with toilet and sink kept in the 'dry' area.
Naturally, the materials, fittings and extras you choose for your wet room will dictate how much the whole project of installing one costs. Shower heads, floors and even storage suitable for wet rooms vary greatly. But the preparation work itself involves a few days of work, ensuring that the room is watertight and that the drainage is suitable.
These are the most important factors in your wet room. In a normal bathroom, most of the water is contained in a bath tub or shower, so having totally watertight floors is not such an issue. But if your tradesman does not give you a good finish on your wet room then your joists and ceilings could soon be soaked. Not to mention your electrics.
In preparing for a wet room your tradesman will need to install a water-resistant membrane on your floor, which should go over the top of a primer. Tape and shaped sealers will need to be placed around the edge of the room and at any doorways.
Always hire someone who has fitted wet rooms before and do ask to see previous work if you are unsure about any aspect of the job. An experienced professional will not have trouble fitting a good wet room, but it does take time and expertise to make sure that the job is done well and will last. A good tradesman will be willing to guarantee the job and come back to deal with any snags.

The latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll – taken while Hillary was in the middle of publicly attacking Barack for being "out-of-touch" – shows Obama leading Clinton 51% to 40% nationally- the most since they were almost tied in late March and up 2 points since the last poll.
National polls dont really matter a whole lot now. What matters in the Dem race is PA, IN, OR, KY, WV.
@2: Agree to a point. What it does show is that the kitchen sink strategy is failing. Obama has his widest margin yet at 11 points. The attacks are obviously not resonating with Democrats as a whole.
They don't appear to be giving any bounce in PA either as her 20 point lead has shrunk to around 5 or 6 and is staying there.
You forgot Guam and North Carolina. 😉

The materials of a library, exemplified by books, have traditionally been viewed as presenting two aspects involving two distinct problems: their description and control as unique items, and their treatment as sources of information on various subjects. But this view has tended to overlook a third fundamental aspect: that of the "works" which are embodied in the materials and in turn embody the information. The paper discusses the meaning of this aspect and its implications in the control of information. (Author)

I have been using steem a bit more and it is really good. One thing I miss from the real machine though is the netusbee for network access.
Maybe I am missing something, but does steem have a plugin for this?
It would be good functionality to have the netusbee emulated and attached virtually to the windows network adapter.
Virtualbox does this and it even works with a DOS virtual machine.

Had Time Warner Internet in my new home for 2 months, and was supposed to be getting 25+ mbps speeds. Could not keep connections and and slow as dial up for 2 months.
I finally did speed test using Time Warner's own speed test site, and found that I was never getting more than 4 mbps on several days. See the screen shots!
I called, and they were to send a service person out to put a transformer on the cable after verifying that my modem was in fact capable of handling speeds over 100 mbps. (They tried to blame the brand new Motorola)
The Tech never showed up. No call, no nothing.
Did more speed test and called to cancel service. Never got an apology of any kind for the no show appointment. Customer service (What a Joke) argued with me and was rude. When I asked to speak with her manager or supervisor she refused to allow that, and continued to be rude. Before I could get a confirmation on what date the service would be effectively disconnected, she disconnected me.
So, not delivering the service I paid for, but no apology. No show on a Tech to fix it, and again no apology. Argued, and rude, and just not right.
No company (Customer Service) of any size should continue to do business this way.
They ripped me off by not delivering the service paid for, made no apologies for this, failure to keep an appointment or notify they would not, and treated me like *** on top of it.
NEVER< NEVER< NEVER again, and suggest others find options before they go through what I have with them.
Reviewer is in unhappy mood. lingminzhu is quite happy with complete nightmare and stated that there is a room for improvement of service and poor customer service. Please immediately contact the author of this review to discuss "all of the above, poor service, bad quality, pricing issue, not as described." of time warner cable internet service and associated monetary loss in the amount of $100. Time Warner Cable needs to offer any options to resolve the issue according to poster's claims.
Other people also mentioned time warner cable internet service in their reviews. You may find this information helpful for further shopping at Time Warner Cable.

Porsche Exclusive has taken the wraps off a customized 911 GT3 RS.
Porsche Exclusive has taken the wraps off a customized 911 GT3 RS.
Dressed in Birch Green paint, the one-off model has "GT3 RS" body stripes, yellow brake calipers, and Porsche lettering on the rear wing. There doesn't appear to be any other exterior changes with the exception of the center-locking wheels which have a matte black finish.
Moving on to the interior, we can see black leather sport seats with Birch Green piping. The model also has green contrast stitching, carbon fiber trim and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel. Other highlights include a roll cage and GT3 RS embroidery on the carpeting that surrounds the driveshaft tunnel.
Porsche didn't have much to say about this particular car but the 911 GT3 RS features an aluminum body, a magnesium roof, and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic hood. These weight saving measures enable the car to tip the scales at 1,420 kg (3,130 lbs) which is 10 kg (22 lbs) less than the standard GT3.
Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter engine that develops 500 PS (368 kW) and 460 Nm (340 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission which enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 322 km/h (200 mph).
