Posted by Jon, a Employment client,
I had Brian represent me in an unpaid wages claim against my former employer, a large Fortune 500 company based MN. I decided on Brian after interviewing three attorneys because he was always quick to get back to me, was very clear about how he would approach my case, and because he was not afraid to litigate if it came down to it. He also seemed genuinely interested in helping me win this case and my best interest, where the other two firms I spoke with seemed mostly interested in maxing out the amount they could charge, and my not best interest. In the end, I am extremely happy that I went with Brian.
When Brain reached out to my former employer initially about my unpaid wages, of course they refused to settle the claim and provided multiple reasons why they were in the right. Brian then promptly replied, systematically going through all their reasons for not paying, and detailed why they were in the wrong and providing specific examples when courts had sided on the employee side in similar cases. This process went on for a few months, with my former employer always claiming they were in the right, and Brian continuing to rebut their claims by citing specific laws and cases when the courts upheld those laws. I found Brian to be extremely knowledgeable and thorough in this area, and created a compelling argument why we would win if my case went to court.
Eventually it go to the point where it was clear litigation was our only option as were in a stalemate, so Brian informed them that since we were unable to reach an agreement we would be litigating. As soon as he did this, they came back with a proposed settlement. I was unhappy with this amount, and we countered with a different amount, and said if this amount was not met we would move forward with litigation. Still fearing litigation, they countered with an different offer. This continued, until in the end Brian helped me reach a number I was happy with, and we settled the case without the need to litigate.
I do strongly believe though that if we had not been willing to litigate like Brian was, I would not have got the settlement that I did.
Throughout the entire process I found Brian to be very professional and always quick to keep me in the loop. I lived out of state, so I never met with him in person, but every time he would send my former employer an email, or receive an email from them the would forward it to me and we would discuss on the phone within a day. This is light years better than attorneys I have worked with in the past.
I would be happy to refer Brian to anyone I know looking for employment law help, as I feel my case could not have been handled any better. Should I ever need a lawyer again, Brian will be my first phone call.
Posted by Dom, a Employment client,
Brian was very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the proceedings. The favorable outcome was a direct result of his experience an guidance.
Posted by Linda, a Employment client,
I thought Brian was very professional, he answered all of my questions, and got back to me in a timely manner either by phone or email. I will certainly refer friends and family to Brian!
Posted by Barb, a Employment client,
We enjoyed having Brian represent us during a battle with a large company. When we had questions and there were many he was available by phone, email or appointment.
Brian always followed through with what he said and kept us informed in a timely manner. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if we do Brian will be our first call and I trust his professional opinion and or his referral. Brian is good at what he does so look out if you have to go up against him.
Posted by a Employment client,
I enjoyed having Brian represent me. He was very organized and I trusted his opinion. He was always around when I had questions.

Sunday Morning Snow Totals
January 20, 2013 11:24 PM
Although this morning's snowfall was nothing impressive, it's just another piece of the puzzle that made this weekend so active here in the KDLT Weather Center. Obviously, our active weekend kicked off with a rapid change in temperature as we talked about in our previous blog post. Sunday morning brought a few changes of its own, though.
Not all of us saw measurable snowfall this Sunday morning, but thanks to our extremely cold temperatures; snow totals were a little more impressive than some of our models were predicting. Although some of our models were off by about an inch or so, the positioning seemed to be spot on. In our previous blog, you can see how our Futurecast Snowfall tracked this area of moisture from northwest to southeast. Along with the positioning, it also handled the timing extremely well. By the early afternoon hours, most of the snow had already exited our region for the most part as it moved into central Iowa.
Here's a look at the most recent reports of snowfall totals across our region. It seemed as though the heaviest snowfall, while isolated in many cases, fell in a straight line from central portions of our region into NW Iowa. Lake Herman just outside of Madison reported 3 inches of snow while areas along the periphery of the snow bands, such as Brookings and Vermillion, picked up about a half inch.
Of course, now that the snowfall is out of here and skies are beginning to clear to some extend; temperatures are dropping very quickly. This, as we mentioned in our previous blog, coupled with breezy conditions are making for very dangerous wind chills. Here's a look at the counties that are under Wind Chill Advisories through Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. These areas will likely experience wind chills below -20° for a long period of time.
On top of that, Wind Chill Warnings are in effect until Noon Monday for our East River counties roughly along and north of US 212. Brookings and Hamlin Counties, which are both south of US 212, are also included along with a few of our SW Minnesota counties. This warning is a bit more urgent as wind chills will likely exceed -20° and -30° for several hours. This will lead to an increased threat of frost bite and/or hypothermia for those who are not dressed appropriately. Of course, we want you to be safe in these hazardous conditions, so we ask that you use extreme caution and stay warm.
As always, we will continue to update you with the very latest on these extremely cold conditions right here on KDLT and KDLT.com.

Hi Everyone,
Our Art department uses the above named printer (HP Color LaserJet 3700n).
However recently it has started to display some really odd behaviour. When, for example, I send a test page through to print, the printer will produce 20 copies (approximately). Similarly when a student or a member of staff attempts to print, the printer will randomly generate multiple copies of the original document.
Has anyone come across this before? (And before anyone says anything, it's not just kids printing multiple copies!! :-) ).
Any help gratefully received.

4.2 Gallery app stuck in camera mode
Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem after upgrading to 4.2 on Nexus GSM. When I launch the gallery app it takes me direct to camera mode? Trying to go back only relaunches the camera and I'm unable to exit the app. If I swipe to the right I can recover temporary to the camera album. Then I can go back to the main gallery album page (by tapping on the back button on the top of the screen), however everytime I launch the gallery app I go right into camera mode.

Championship teams play good defense at the right times. The Ravens have been tough on defense at times this year, but they continued to have some late-game issues on Sunday.
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been known to take digs at the opposition.
The defense turned in possibly its best performance of the season in Sunday's 20-17 overtime victory over the Bengals -- and it was needed to help an offense still trying to find its way.
EARLY BIRD: Waking up with the Ravens after Sunday's crucial victory over the Bengals.
The secondary has been a source of concern at times for the Ravens this season. They've been up and down and had problems in various areas like coverage-- some games good, some games bad.

I'd like to see some follow-up on the destruction of Vulcan. Some information on how many were able to escape the cataclysm and how are they being resettled would be nice. It would be nice to see how the Romulans responded to the destruction of Vulcan, as well.
Finally, I would really enjoy seeing a minor sub-plot involving Harcourt Fenton Mudd and his dear wife Stella.

...the film's story has now been settled, and "won't focus on a traditional villain type at all", but that it will feature a character (or characters) from Star Trek's first season.

I agree but I'm not too sure about their list. Trelane was better as Q (in my opinion), the Horta just wouldn't be the same in CG, we've seen the Talosians twice (and they seem more suited to tv to me), and I hated Harry Mudd (slavery is not funny (but he doesn't really seem like a big screen villain either)). That leaves Gary. Which could work but I wish they'd mentioned him in XI.I'm really glad that they aren't going the Khan route. It's been done really well and I don't want to have to compare any nuTrek to TWoK

I was prepared for the worst with the new Star Trek and was very pleasantly surprised. Now my old anxiety is back that they will muck this one up! I just hope they have the same great humor that they had in the first one.
I could totally go for Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Oh, please please please please please please please.

I love that they consider the crew a family.Kurtzman contrasts the first movie, which was essentially an origin story, with the new one: It becomes about this family thats together, so now it becomes about the thing that shakes them up and challenges them.
Says Orci, Whereas the last movie was all about breaking free from Star Trek and its canon, now that we can do whatever we want, we still want it to feel like good ol Star Trek even though its a new story.

Next film may be delayed until December 2012.
They only have 13 months to begin filming and complete post-production for the film. JJ Abrams filmed his new film Super 8 in less time, but that would seem to be pretty daunting for a Star Trek film.
Posted Jun 12, 2011 @ 3:39 PM
Just came across this thread: Bingo! He's just put into words why I hate ST XI. It was about "breaking free from Star Trek," not being Star Trek. How 'bouts if you have no respect for the franchise and its canon, you go find an original idea? Oh, yeah, I forgot...you don't want to respect it, but you do want the ready made name recognition that comes with the franchise, because you have a built-in audience to fall back on if everything else goes to shit. More Abrams and company? Fuck that. Won't pay for the ticket.Says Orci, "Whereas the last movie was all about breaking free from Star Trek and its canon, now that we can do whatever we want, we still want it to feel like good ol' Star Trek even though it's a new story."

The rumors are that production on this film has been pushed back until early next year. Which means that it won't be in theaters next summer. The release date will probably be pushed back to Winter 2012, or Summer 2013 which would be four years since the last film.

I think Kate Mulgrew did an interview indicating she would like the crew of Voyager to be involved in the sequel. Now, that (if done properly) could be worth the price of a ticket.
What? Huh? Sorry to break it to you love, but Voyager effectively doesn't exist in this timeline. Tuvok almost certainly wasn't born for a start. And do we really want to see Jim Kirk trying to bed Seven? Yes, her response would be priceless but that's hardly the point. And to be really blunt, Paramount never gave Voyager so much as a post-getting home t.v. movie for a reason, they weren't good enough. Beyond the Doctor and Seven what real personalities are there in that bland little group, really? Who wants to see Chakotay on the big screen? Who actually thinks that you'll get close to a complete group together now? Some of them have far better things, like blossoming directorial/production careers, to do than a glorified cameo. Get real.
I know, harsh, but the truth is they can do literally anything right up to and including a more primitive version of the Borg, just as a random example. Effectively, they've done their own thing, "broken free" literally and figuratively with the past franchise the minute they decided it was a good idea to blow up Vulcan. It's not going to be Star Trek XII guys, its Star Trek II, everything else, 596 episodes and 10 movies that effectively don't exist anymore or if they do, they're only for the nerds that care about obscure details or continuity. This is way beyond whatever DC comic books may have done with multiple universes because this is the only universe that they acknowledge at present, probably ever. Intergrating anything else from the prime universe with this now would only confuse things for cinema viewers who thought that the last movie was Star Trek, or was in some way representative, which as it happens, I don't think it was at all. I don't think that we, the hardcore Trekkie, aren't the market for Trek movies anymore, its the general audience, the teen market especially, who will ship Spock and Uhura, and who can just about work out what a Klingon and a phaser is but nothing more. Fine, fair enough, whatever, but I can't see myself getting anymore enthused than I was last time, regardless of whatever stunts they pull this time.

This being Abrams, theres a natural cloud of secrecy wrapped around the details of the role: though Del Toro has apparently met with Abrams about playing it, he wasnt actually told all the details. We have visions of him making an agreement, then being sealed in a chamber with no windows and poor ventilation while he reads the script under the watchful eye of a CCTV system, before depositing it in a furnace and being mind-wiped on his way out.
Posted Nov 28, 2011 @ 1:42 PM
The big news on the Trek front is that Abrams will be making it his first stab at 3D filmmaking, which means the Enterprise will be warping RIGHT INTO YOUR FACE. Okay, hopefully not: Abrams knows what hes doing. But we are little concerned about 3D lens flare burning our retinas out.

He was the leader of Terra Prime, the xenophobic villains, on the last two episodes of Enterprise. He was really good in that role.Paxton on Enterprise (which I don't remember at all).
So, it looks like Del Toro won't be playing the villain in the new movie. They couldn't reach an agreement on money.
Also, some rumors swirling that the villain will be Khan.

I'm not a huge fan of 3D so don't really care either way and haven't read much on how the post-converted HP turned out."We'll do a good high-end conversion," Abrams promises. "It'll be like the Harry Potter movie and all that. Luckily we have the months needed to do it right because if you rush it, it never looks good." The director also reveals that IMAX is on the cards, although nothing has yet been confirmed: "IMAX is my favourite format; I'm a huge fan. I would love to do it."

I won't see a 3D film if it's not shot in 3D. Avatar and Hugo were shot in 3D and looked great in 3D. Harry Potter was converted to 3D and it showed. The only converted 3D film I've seen that looked good was Thor.

I miss when my CD collection was all organized and shit. Being a student and moving more often makes that hard.
(Plus almost all of it's in my computer now, makes me care a little less about how easily I can find a CD.)
We just got in a weird, off-topic aesthetics debate about modern classical music in this class.
I'm apparently the only Steve Reich fangirl in this class. :-(
My mom told me she has an ABBA cassette somewhere in the house. Since I'm still in the closet, I have to search for it when she's not around.
Maybe later or something, pfffffft I dunno.
My CDs are sorted alphabetically by artist, then chronology. Radiohead is reserved for the top of the stack because they're the best band ever and stuff. Then I have a littler stack to the side of it for unusually-packaged CDs (you know, stuff like sleeves and boxes and jackets and stuff instead of the usual case), which I sort based on how delicate I think they are, but if there are a few of them from a single band then I'll put them together anyway. For instance, at the top of the stack is a Sigur Ros CD that I'm pretty sure is packaged in some kind of card-board material, and at the bottom is this giant Pearl Jam double album that folds out and junk.
Man, I'm such a nerd.
I separate the classical stuff, the jazz, the popular music, the world music and the soundtracks, and alphabetize them by band or composer.
I also, like you @Jack Pschitt;, give my favorite band (The Beatles) a special place of honor. My Beethoven box set and Wagner's Ring Cycle also have their own places of honor as well, though mostly because they're huge.
(for those who may also be opera geeks, I have the Georg Solti Ring from the late 50s/early 60s. It's badass.)
I don't really have a CD collection. My parents have back home, but as far as I'm aware, it's mostly a clusterfuck.
I keep a bunch of back ups of my house collection on assorted devices though.
Also, god damn conclusion, I can't find a good way of phrasing it on my report.
Oh, I do that, too, for this gigantic collection of everything an obscure Floridian sludge metal band called Floor ever recorded. It traverses their early years all the way through to their third recorded - but first actually released - album, at which point they broke up, so it's not completely awesome all the way through and a good portion of it is really rather crap, but the band acknowledges that in the liner notes, so it's all good. xD Their frontman went on to form Torche, who've become successful enough that I can actually talk to other people who've heard of them.
I have precisely two cassettes along with my butt-load of CDs. U2 and Count Basie, yo. Kids don't even know what they're missing out on.
@maria; Alas, it's exactly the same one! But if you want maybe I can tell some of the opera geeks I know about it?
My parents' CD collection is a mess as well, but part of the fun of that means discovering random things I like in it and sneaking them away with my parents never noticing. This is how I got half my Beatles albums, The Tom-Tom Club and Talking Heads' Speaking in Tongues, a lot of my musical theatre soundtracks and many, many others.
@maria; Hey, I'm curious, how many EPs/singles do you have on CD? I like collecting EPs because they're a lot harder to come by and I feel special when I acquire one. I have four EPs and one single.
I was looking on the eBay account, it's no longer listed, must have come off today, so it'll just be sold in the store, thanks anyway :)
One single, no EPs. Most singles/EPs I'd want are vinyl only, so I only have mp3s.

SAfrica: former Pistorius detective quits force - 0 Comments
JOHANNESBURG — The former lead detective in South Africa's investigation of the murder case against Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has resigned from the police force, police said Thursday.
The decision by detective Hilton Botha to quit followed criticism for his bungling of the investigation into Pistorius' shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Feb. 14, as well as the revelation that he faced attempted murder charges for a 2011 case in which he fired at a vehicle.

Breaking Up the BCS: 12 Steps to a College Football Playoff
By Chad Hensley ,
It is obvious to everyone that follows major college football that a playoff is not only wanted, but needed to level the playing field across the country.
I haven't seen a poll that had less than 80 percent public support for a playoff system for the big boys of college football.
So what's the hold up?
Money. That is obvious to anyone with a pulse, even if the NCAA and the rich stakeholders of bowl games won't admit it.
I don't expect a playoff until a "historically great" team like Notre Dame gets the shaft.
If Notre Dame went undefeated this year, who would be put in the National Championship game?
Texas (assuming they win the Big XII)? The SEC Champion (Florida or Alabama)? Or Notre Dame?
That kind of controversy is the only thing that will get the people what they want. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet, but with six undefeated teams remaining after the regular season has ended for most teams, this year has been the best in terms of an argument for a playoff.
*I-A and I-AA is much less confusing than FBS and FCS, so that is what is used in this article
Many companies use the excitement of an upcoming football season to make money (what else?) off the fans with preseason polls and the controversy they create.
I am all for capitalism, but these polls are horribly flawed, and in my opinion the single weakest point in today's BCS system.
1. How in the world does one know how good a team is going to be with the attrition that each team suffers every year?
2. Teams ranked very high who lose to unranked teams almost always tumble more than 10 spots in the second poll. A lot of the time, that unranked team is actually a great team, and, you guessed it, the preseason poll had them ranked too low.
3. The above scenario also quickly labels the highly ranked team that was beaten "overrated". That label sticks with that team all year, and affects the mindsets of voters.
There are other scenarios that are just as bad, but I believe everyone can agree that preseason polls can only hurt the process, and in no way help it.
The USA Today's Coaches Poll allows 59 I-A coaches to vote each week to determine the Top 25 teams in the Country.
I believe this poll should be eliminated unless:
1. All I-A coaches should have to vote. I am not sure there is a good reason to allow only half to vote.
2. The coaches' votes should be made public. This is an obvious integrity check, and it boggles the mind why it isn't currently done this way.
3. A grid of each coaches' vote should be available online for public scrutiny.
In my opinion, coaches already have enough on their plate, and they certainly don't have time to watch and follow every team in country. Their bias can be minimized by displaying it publicly, but it only opens them up to even more pressure from media and fans "to do the right thing".
Does Ohio State's Jim Tressell vote for Michigan above his own team? What if Rich Rodriguez doesn't have a vote in a year when they are in the thick of things?
I say eliminate it.
For the same reasons above. This is simply an integrity check.
The AP poll is public, why not the Harris and Coaches polls?
If someone doesn't want their vote to be made public, then they shouldn't participate. It isn't like they are voting for POTUS.
Some of the biggest concerns by fans and media are that the WAC and Mountain West Conference do not stack up to the likes of the SEC, PAC-10 etc.
1. I believe the new conference should roughly consist of the following teams: TCU, Utah, BYU, Nevada, Boise St., Air Force, Wyoming, Fresno St., Idaho, Hawaii, Colorado St, and Louisiana Tech.
2. Teams in this new conference would be eligible to make the playoffs if they meet all playoff criteria outlined in this article
Same as above but consisting of the 12 best teams from these three conferences.
I almost want to say that teams not included in the "Power" conferences can either drop to I-AA or become independent, but I doubt that would ever happen.
Here is what I think is more reasonable.
1. ACC, SEC, PAC-10, BIG East, Big 10, Big XII, MWC/WAC consolidation, and C-USA/MAC/Sun Belt consolidation are the "Power" Conferences.
2. Every conference should include 12 teams.
3. Teams not included in these "Power" conferences can participate in the playoffs if they become "Independent", and schedule teams from the "Power" conferences. This is very similar to Notre Dame.
With eight "Power Conferences" of 12 teams, that leaves 24 teams to become "Independent", drop to I-AA, or create their own conferences.
Teams in these "Power" conferences are eligible only if they meet the other requirements outlined in this article.
Though some I-AA teams have beaten their I-A opponents in recent years, this is nothing more than a scrimmage for most I-A teams.
If anything, a loss to a tough I-A team should count more than a win over a I-AA team.
The playoff system probably eliminates this anyway, because losing to a I-A opponent or two doesn't kill a team's chances at a national championship like it does in today's BCS system.
If an I-AA teams wants the competition, then they should take the step up to I-A.
I realize there are some logistical issues here, as well as ways to skirt this rule. That said, the strength of schedule that the computers calculate will end up determining whether the school makes the cut or not.
In example, if a team from the MWC/WAC consolidation schedules the two worst teams from C-USA/MAC/Sun Belt as their two "Power" teams, then it will be reflected in the calculations. This most likely would hurt their standing.
However, I think a rotation of games between the conferences would be best.
1. The schedule would be based upon the previous year's standings
2. The top team from one conference would play the top teams from two other conferences. The team that finished second in one conference would play the second ranked teams from two other conferences. And so on.
3. The conference carousel would change every year, much like the NFL division rotation.
In example, Alabama would play its eight SEC games. It would then play two teams from other "Power" conferences.
If this plan was implemented in 2010, they may play Texas and Georgia Tech, the first place teams from the BIG XII and ACC from 2009, respectively.
Assuming Alabama finished second in the SEC in 2010, they would then play the second place teams from the MWC/WAC consolidation and the PAC-10 in 2011.
This allows a team such as Notre Dame or an up and coming team not from a "Power" conference to participate in the playoffs.
I don't think this would be a logistical nightmare, as most teams outside of the "Power" conferences aren't going to try to attain a strength of schedule similar to Notre Dame's.
Again, this is all about money. There is really no other reason to have such a game.
1. The best two teams don't always play each other. Sometimes the fourth or fifth best team is in the championship game for a given conference.
2. No one cares. Seriously, who cares who wins the ACC Championship game this year, outside of Clemson and Georgia Tech? The only reason anyone cares about the SEC championship, is because it determines who goes to the BCS title game.
The money will be replaced many times over with a playoff. Trust me.
This allows all the schools outside of the Top 16 teams to participate in postseason play.
Building off the changes outlined above:
1. The playoff should start the first Saturday in December and continue until the championship game between the only two teams left standing. This eliminates the 40-50 day gap between the final game of the year, and a bowl game that a lot of teams face. A huge gap like that is an issue because teams can get rusty, and really isn't fair to teams who have momentum in their favor at the end of the year.
2. Please don't start with the "Academics" arguments. I-AA schools have exams in December too.
3. The 16 seeds are determined using the current BCS formula (Champions Calculation), with the changes outlined in this article, as well as including the AP poll.
4. All "Power" conference champions, determined by record, are included.
5. If a "Power" conference champion isn't among the Top 16 teams in the Champions Calculation, then they are inserted as the 16th seed, bumping the calculated 16th seed.
6. Games are played at the higher seed's home stadium except for the championship game. This allows schools from the Big 10 and other places up north to get the same advantage that schools from the south have been enjoying forever.
7. If there is a stadium that would accommodate (more seats) both schools better within a 100-200 mile radius of the higher seed, then that stadium could be used.
8. The championship game would rotate between stadiums across the country, similar to the Super Bowl.
I realize there are some traditionalists out there who don't even want a playoff, but there are many who want a playoff and keep the bowls.
I believe they can integrate these four bowls into the playoff system.
But I am not against eliminating them either.
No one is going to miss them outside of those who play in the Rose Bowl—Big 10 and Pac-10 fans.
No system is perfect—including this one—but most of us can agree the current system is not even close.
There are always naysayers, like TCU's Gary Patterson saying he prefers the bowl system over a playoff, but they almost always have a personal agenda.
"Is it easier to win one game for a championship? Or to have to win four?" Patterson asked. "If you have a playoff, you practice and get on a plane and play. And if you lose, it's over. If you go to a bowl game, you're there seven days and the kids can enjoy a place and get rewarded."
No kidding coach. It isn't supposed to be easy.
Of course he would say that, as it benefits his particular team greatly. TCU plays 10 cupcakes a year and a couple of mediocre teams, and people want to put them in the BCS title game (Please read my Tiger Woods analogy to understand my argument).
Are they the best? It is definitely possible, but the playing field isn't level. TCU's toughest opponent all year was Clemson, who is a loss away from dropping out of the Top 25.
A playoff won't always crown the "best" team, but it does crown the team who is playing the best—on the field.
And that is better than what we have now.

Simon Calder's Holiday Helpdesk: What does BA owe me for my snow-bound hell at T5?
Every day our travel guru answers your travel questions

Simon Calder is Travel Editor at Large for The Independent, writing a weekly column, various articles and features as well as filming a weekly video diary. Every Sunday afternoon, Simon presents the UK's only radio travel phone-in programme called The LBC Travel Show with Simon Calder (97.3 FM).

Tuesday 22 January 2013
Q. I was one of the many hundreds of people who had to sleep on the floor at Terminal 5 last Friday night. Because of the snow – and a whole sequence of problems – we sat on the plane to Houston for hours and then ended up going back to the terminal, where we were told there were no hotel rooms for us. What does British Airways owe us?
Name withheld
A. Beyond an apology, probably nothing. While BA was technically liable to arrange accommodation for every passenger who was obliged to stay overnight, the sheer numbers meant that it was unfeasible for the airline to do so – and to organise the necessary transport. The EU rules say the airline must meet the cost of the accommodation – but if it was zero, then I understand BA has no liability.
If you had out-of-pocket expenses for items bought during your stay at Heathrow, then it is likely that you can claim them back. It is also possible that BA may make an ex-gratia award of cash or Avios points. But if you have decent travel insurance, about the best you are going to get is the standard £25 or so for each 12 hours of delay.

Hi from Windsor, Ontario
Hey everybody! I'm Jenny and I've ordered a used, unlocked Blackberry Bold 9000 from ebay to play with. I've never owned a blackberry, but I knew I wanted a phone with a physical keyboard. I have an iPod Touch but I don't find it very good for writing for me. A because I've got poor vision and need to be able to feel the keys as well as see them, and two because the iPod is so full of games and music its impractical to use for my note taking, writing and officey type stuff.
It'll be nice to have a cell phone again, if I can get a sim for this phone, I haven't had a cell phone in 8 years, can you believe it? This is a US model Blackberry though, will a local sim be treated like local on it? - 02-16-2013, 07:59 PM #2

Hi from Windsor, Ontario
Sorry but did you get a 9000 or a 9900?? The first is a really old device which in this day and age I would t recommend.
Ahh, if she hasn't had a cell in 8 years, the 9000 is a decent way to get started. A good addiction has to start somewhere...
Jenny, since the phone is already unlocked, a SIM should give you native results for the Carrier you use, but if you plan to use many of the features, make sure part of your plan includes BlackBerry Internet Service, BIS, or you will be missing some functions that do not work without it, such as BBM and push email.

"How was dinner with Temari?" Naruto asked as he joined her the next morning, his expression curious. She had already been asleep by the time he had gotten back to his quarters.
"How was dinner with Gaara?" Sakura shot back, adjusting the slightly large tunic that Temari had lent her. Naruto was wearing a similar shirt, and for once Sakura didn't feel like her skin was shriveling up and fleeing internally. Ah well. Such was the desert she supposed.
Naruto studied her out of the corner of his eyes. "You didn't do… girly things all night… did you?"
"Did you belch and scratch yourself and talk about all the strong ninja you had killed?" Sakura returned with a raised brow, the corner of her lips twitching.
"Right." Naruto muttered. Clearing his throat, he offered her his best "we behaved ourselves, really" smile. "Would you believe me if I said we talked politics?"
Sakura laughed. "Only if it was the politics of overtaking the ramen market."
"We're not that bad," Naruto scolded, his own eyes laughing. His eyes grew serious, even though his smile stayed the same. "We did actually talk about a few things."
"Other than ramen?"
"Other than ramen." Naruto agreed, shaking his head.
Walking over, Sakura slipped her arm through his and smiled at him. "I know. Sometimes it's just too easy to tease you."
"You should be careful, Sakura-chan," Naruto warned as they began their walk to the testing grounds. "One day I might just take you seriously."
"I'm sure I'll think of something when that happens and surprise you." She teased. "You might be the number one unpredictable ninja, but I've had years to watch you."
"I'll keep that in mind." He promised. His eyes moved away from her smile and back towards the landscape in front of them. "We should probably figure out what we are both going to be taking mental notes on."
Sakura nodded. "There isn't going to be a lot of genjutsu used, I don't think. It's possible they have a talented chunin or two, but we would have heard of something through the rumor mills."
"Yeah. But they are going to have a lot of precise chakra use," Naruto pointed out. "Kankuro is a good example of what they can do. Maximum bang for minimum effort."
"They are a lot better at it than we are, the village as a whole." Sakura admitted. "I'll be able to follow what they are doing with their chakra and how it's different than what even Sensei and I do, if you can make some mental notes on what techniques they are using that we haven't seen before."
"I can do that," Naruto assured her. "Shall we compare notes on our way back to Konoha?"
"We'll have to." Sakura said. "We can't write anything down, even to give it to Sensei. Everything has to stay here," she tapped his temple for emphasis. "Or else we breech our treaty."
Naruto blinked at her. "Then why send me?"
Sakura tilted her head. "Because you need the practice."
He stared at her for a long moment before blinking and smiling, his eyes lighting up bright enough that her chest tightened.
"Thanks Sakura."
"For what?"
"For believing in me." He said simply.
She snorted, wrapped her fingers around his and squeezing. "Sasuke and I both believe in you, Naruto."
"I know. It's just nice to hear it sometimes."
"Well, don't expect it often. Your head would get so big it would explode if we told you all the time." She poked him in the ribs. "Then what would happen?"
"Naruto-slime." His tone was solemn.
"It wouldn't be that bad, Sakura-chan! I bet I would be very nicely colored slime. I could even live in your bathroom, free of charge."
"Awe, don't… ooomp." Naruto leaned over his gut where she had punched him.
"Sa-ku-ra!" He gasped.
"You better hurry," Sakura informed him as she continued to walk, "or you're going to be late."
She just waved over her shoulder.

How often after a Big Energy disaster do we come to learn that the parties to blame were previously cited — often more than once — for the same type of safety violation(s) that caused the latest incident?
Whether it's a coal mine collapse, a ruptured pipeline, or a leaking oil well, what first appears to be an accident turns out to be an act of negligence that could have — and legally should have — been prevented.
In a segment that aired last Friday, Rachel Maddow discusses the ineffectiveness of government fines when levied against the likes of Exxon Mobil — a company that brings in $122 million in profits each day, spent nearly $13 million lobbying Congress last year, and is, quite literally, "too big to care."

How in the hell would those two be considered functional in any way? Your body is braced and leg curls only work a small portion of the hamstring. GHR, good mornings, Bulgarian split squats, deads, etc. are far more functional.

M.Ed. Ex Phys
The above mentioned movements along with properly programmed jump training would be far more functional than isolation exercises. The only isolation work an athlete should do would be to fix postural deviations.
Training log:
Jumps of various sorts and whole-body medicine ball throws are great for developing speed and explosive power. Before you engage in jumps you need to make sure your body mechanics are correct (which requires not just proper coordination but also hamstring, glute, erector, and abductor strength relative to quad strength) and that you know how to land properly. By that, when you dip for a jump, your knees should not be caving in, and your back should be upright. The same applies to landing.

Yeah, I would think what the others have mentioned along with perhaps cleans or something with speed/strength and sled work ie: pushing or dragging.
acceleration out the gates comes from having strong legs. the more you can squat the faster your first couple steps are. i would skip iso movements. focus primarily on squats and variations of that.. hang cleans will help you work the hips and learn to fire your hips explosively.
Thanks guys, all good responses...im looking to improve my 100 meter sprint time
Agree with the hang cleans, not so much on the squats.
Acceleration out of the gates (blocks actually) isn't about having strong legs, it is about POWER.
How you squat matters-piling on the plates and repping them out slowly is not ideal.
Traditional, full ROM heavy squats have their place, but jump squats and speed squats (and unilateral variations) have more transfer to sprinting.
Tell Ben Johnson he was wasting his time squatting 600lbs back when he was setting WRs. The human body undergoes forces at ~7x bodyweight while sprinting. If you're not strong, you're not moving too fast. I would argue that maximal strength and speed-strength are more important than strength-speed for sprinting.
Training log:
"You can't move a heavy weight slow." - Dr Fred Hatfield
M.Ed. Ex Phys
Cleans are pure explosive power. And squats of course.
Not entirely sure we disagree--I perhaps worded inartfully.
I simply meant to emphasize the need to prioritize power--technically, strength does not necessarily imply speed (from a biomotor perspective), but that is semantics
Not entirely sure that we disagree.
One cannot move a heavy weight slowly, but it is possible to be strong (capable of exerting great force) w/o being powerful, which is what I was trying to emphasize
I would think personally that the more you can squat ATG the higher you can jump.. The higher you can jump the faster you can sprint. Force and power are related (from a physics point of view). I dunno just thinking with my engineering brain lol.
But I also think that you don't have to work with maximum weight to build up force. You can use lighter weights 50-60% of max and go for maximum acceleration.

"Person of Interest" will be appearing in full force at San Diego Comic-Con on July 20 to talk about its upcoming Season 3. Zap2it will be on the scene and speaking with the cast, so stay tuned for our continued coverage.

I have to have the best. I know it doesn't sound very Christian to have to have the best, but when it comes to plastic wrap I have to have premium plastic wrap. I purchase Saran Wrap.
I've tried the off-brand plastic wraps. Invariably, the edge used to cut the wrap tears up. And when that happens, I lose my religion.
I have to have the best so I can be more Christian.
They say "don't sweat the small stuff." OK, I've heard that a million times. And yes, it's true. But sometimes a person just needs life to go smoothly in at least some small way. Is it too much to want a smooth plastic wrap experience?
Prayers for those who are having a bumpy ride. I hope your ride will soon be smooth. In the meantime, make sure you've got some good plastic wrap in the house.

It's been a tough year for us heterosexuals. Gay people seem to be taking over the world. Gay people in the NBA. Gay people in the NFL. Now a gay beauty pageant winner.
Gay men told me for years a lot of beauty pageant winners were lesbians but I considered their comments wishful thinking. But – but Djuan Trent, a former Miss Kentucky, has announced to God and the world that she is queer. I can hear it now, "I told you so!" I can hear it now "Gay is beautiful!" What's a heterosexual to do?
Of course, I'm writing tongue-in-cheek. Some of my best friends just happen to be LGBT. I an the lucky pastor of some incredible people, including black gay people. And all of my LGBT friends are beautiful in their own way, even if none of them have won any beauty pageants.
Wake up heterosexuals! Beauty is all around you, even in forms and people you may have never imagined.

This Sunday Wedgewood Church is having a worship service to celebrate the United Church of Christ's extravagant welcome of us Wedgewoodians. UCCer's believe a welcome is not enough. To be faithful to God, a welcome has to be an extravagant welcome, as demonstrated by Jesus.
Everybody and their sister and brother is going to be at the service. And those who aren't going to be able to attend the worship service have sent us extravagant welcome videos from all over the map.
All this hullabaloo has made me aware of why I don't like the United Church of Christ. I don't like the UCC for the same reasons I don't like Jesus. It's not in my self interest to be a UCCer or to follow Jesus. Yes, I know about the heaven thing, whatever that is, but other than that the cost of discipleship is too costly, in my book. Not that I'm all that Christian, but to be honest, I don't want to be any more Jesus-like than I already am. I've done enough for Jesus. At least, that's the way I feel. And the reason I really don't like the UCC is they are not going to let me get away with that sentiment.
Being UCC is a hard way to be a human being, a hard way to follow Jesus, a hard way to be a citizen, a hard way to do church. What was I thinking when I encouraged Wedgewood to align with the UCC?
What was I thinking!
Maybe I wasn't thinking. Perhaps the UCC extravagant welcome, like the extravagant welcome of Jesus, is just so irresistible I couldn't resist it.
Have you ever received an extravagant welcome? If you haven't, come to Wedgewood, go to a UCC church, invite Jesus into your life. I think you are going to find such a welcome hard to ignore, even though it's going to really complicate your life.

Kelly Osborne – why, I don't know where to begin in describing him other than to say he was a pastor's pastor. They don't come better than Kelly Osborne. I miss him. He died about five years after I arrived at Wedgewood Church in 1989.
No person may be more responsible for Wedgewood being a liberal church than Kelly. He had a sharp mind and a sharp tongue. Kelly would put you in your place real quick. When we had some choir members not exactly wild about doing a joint Martin Luther King, Jr. service Kelly got on the phone and I didn't hear a whimper – I didn't hear a whimper after Kelly went into action. He was a leader. A great person.
Kelly sporadically talked to me about the damn, rotting fish. I consistently looked at him with a question mark on my face.
"Damn, rotting fish?
After a year of me not getting the point, Kelly handed me a copy of What Are We Going To Do With All These Rotting Fish?" and Seven Other Short Plays for Church and Community, edited by Norman Habel. Here are some excerpts from the play by Richard Urdahl, a play which picks up on Jesus calling fisherman and Jesus talking about his disciples becoming fisherpeople of people. These excerpts are from different parts of the play. After reading the play, I got Kelly's point.
What are we going to do with all these damn fish?
Good question.
What are we going to do with all these damn, rotting fish?

What are we going to do with all thse damn, rotting, stinking fish?
Good question.
We're stuck with two boat loads of piscatorial putrescence!
Here I thought that the Big Man was giving us all the fixens for a real slam-bang fish fry!
Have you forgotten who really caught these fish?
The stench from that pile of rotten fish is too great!
I wonder what he was trying to say through these fish?
May all clergy have a Kelly Osborne in their life! Amen.

GE Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard - Black (98617) GEMade an account just to review this... This keyboard is extremely slim. It doesn't have extendable props to change the angle, but the battery compartment works fine. Has rubber inserts that prevent sliding on the table. If you like the Mac keyboard and haven't found a keyboard for your PC or other devices, you'll like this one. I'm not sure how long the batteries last as of yet. Sadly, this device does NOT come with a bluetooth dongle and I had to order one online for cheap through walmart. Thought my PC came with it. I've gone through many apple esque keyboards in the past couple years, trying to find a match, and I fell in love with this one! The keys don't freely tilt much like most cheaply made keyboards do, which is nice. The buttons are very quiet, though not completely silent. Incredibly easy to connect. Thanks GE!Jul 9,2013

Courteney Cox's 'Cougar Town' cast mates would like to set he up with a ''cerebral hunk type.''
The 47-year-old star has been single since splitting with husband David Arquette in October 2010 - admitting she has been celibate for a year earlier this month - and her sitcom co-stars want to help her find a new man.
When asked who he would pick for Courteney to date, co-star Brian van Holt pointed at Dan Byrd and joked: ''She loves this man right here, she likes the cerebral hunk type.''
Another 'Cougar Town' star, Busy Philipps, said she thinks the former 'Friends' actress needs someone who can coax her out to party.
She told People.com: ''A couple of people have asked me who I would set Courteney up with.
''I think she is a homebody and if Courteney had her way she would never leave her house, so she does need a partner who will bring her out and just tell her she has no choice and, make her go out into the world.
''She prefers everyone to come to her beautiful house, and by the way if my house was as good as hers I'd never want to leave it.''
Courteney - who has seven-year-old daughter Coco with David - has admitted she's had trouble moving on from their relationship.
She said: ''It's hard. I probably caught up to this whole situation later than he did. And, I am really happy for him and he's got a girlfriend.
''Everything's great, I know it seems so weird, it's even weird for me to say that.''
