With a solid understanding of how businesses should operate, Wendel Rosen's employment group attorneys bring a responsive and problem-solving approach to the businesses that turn to them for guidance. Lawyers in the group help clients with policy planning, contract drafting and negotiating, and management training aspects of employee relations, as well as litigation matters.
Any company that has even a single employee is exposed to employment issues. Clients of the practice have included homebuilders, employment staffing companies, product manufacturers, and dealership franchises, to name a few. While we have done work with companies large and small, many mid-sized businesses appreciate the value offered by our practical approach to these types of issues.
Here's a sample of matters typically undertaken by the group:
Wrongful termination
Discrimination and harassment claims
Wage and hour matters
Employment contracts and nondisclosure agreements
Severance and separation agreements
Reduction in force
Employee benefit plans
Leaves (military, family, etc.) provisions and compliance
Employee discipline matters
Collective bargaining and National Labor Relations Board
Occupational Safety & Health Administration
Americans with Disabilities Act provisions and compliance
Unfair business practices and competition matters
ERISA and COBRA compliance and fiduciary obligations
The firm's employment lawyers frequently assist client companies by training management on employment issues, assisting with the development of personnel policies and handbooks, and providing diversity training.
In addition to successful courtroom advocacy at the trial and appellate levels, the firm is also experienced appearing before administrative and regulatory bodies on behalf of employers, including the California Labor Commissioner, California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Anti-Sexual Harassment Compliance Courses
As of January 1, 2006, Anti-Sexual Harassment Training is required by law for supervisors at companies with 50 or more employees. This training must be renewed every two years. Consider hiring David Goldman to present the new guidelines to your company. Their presentations can easily be brought to your offices. The training includes a PowerPoint presentation and written handouts to meet the requirements of the law.

To the editor:
Michael Cook (letters, the Times, Tuesday, May 21) ought to double check his facts.
Liberal or progressive groups that applied for tax-exempt status were fast tracked for approval, and that includes the president's half brother, who received his 501C status in less than nine months while Tea Party groups waiting for more than two years for an acceptance letter or a denial from the IRS received neither.
If Michael has ever filed for 501 status he would know that the application is about 30 pages of very probing questions, and takes roughly three full eight hour days to complete. When you're paying someone to complete the application, that's a lot of billable hours.
Also, the IRS did not scrutinize the applications of those groups calling themselves, "Occupy Wall Street." which were far left political anarchists. Yet the IRS just left them alone.
Yes, Tea Party groups are right wing political activists; however they carried out their activism within the rule of law. "Occupy Wall Street" groups broke more laws than you can count.

Could this all be a smoke screen to try to sign Simms to a deal in offseason? I think it is a possibility to bring Simms back in the fold this offseason. Call me nuts, whatever. We could sign Simms to modest 3 year deal, let Grads play the rest of the season. If Grads comes on and continues to grow or comes on like gang busters you don't have to sign Simms but you would have Simms and Grads both. It would prevent the drafting of a R1 QB that I don't think anyone really wants to pick. I know Simms stunk the joint up the first 2 games of the season but coming in everyone, literally everyone was raving about Simms. Mortenson (ESPN) said he was the most impressive QB he saw in the offseason, PR endorsed him, he had an 81 rating at years end last year. How can he not fit the system in a 2 game skid? I think he still stands a chance to be back. The one thing in common regarding Simms and Grads is they have zero offensive line, none. I'm only saying he could be back and I personally would like to see him back unless Grads proves bar-none he is the future. I really don't want to waste a pick on a QB. I know that many people including the PR mag have said they think Simms could be done, maybe its a kneejerk reaction. I think its too early to write him off unless Grads shows that he is the man and thus far I haven't seen it.
Simms wants out, in his position wouldn't you? Â Go back and watch the film from the first three games, look closely at Grudens face a body language. Â No way Gruden wants to go back there, time to move on with or without Grads.
I agree bring in a vet QB. Stay away from drafting another one. This team will not improve with a rookie QB. Dont just go with Gradkowski and McCown either. Bring in a FA. Matt Schaub, JAke Plummer..

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Add beautiful mood lighting at outdoor gatherings. Why not craft up a set to use this summer.
Whether you are starting plants that will eventually move outside to your garden, or will continue to grow your plants indoors is all a matter of preference. Either way this is a wonderful learning opportunity for kids.
I think it is so cool to be able to share how to plant and grow things with your children. Not only do they learn science as they plant the seeds and watch them grow, but you are also sharing how important the earth and resources are to you and how to care for them.
What better way to get started than by crafting your very own indoor greenhouse! I used the brand new Alyssa's Garden line by Cloud 9 designs. This is something you can create as a family and design it how you like. Once you have created your very own mini indoor greenhouse you can begin teaching your children how to plant and care for growing things!
1. We will begin by cutting our 2 liter bottle to size. My bottle measures about 12" and I want to cut about 4" off the end with the neck. That will leave me about 8" as my greenhouse. To do this I made marks with permanent marker by measuring down 8" from the top and about every 2 inches around the outside of the bottle. This will be my guide as I cut around the bottle. The best tool for this job is the Fiskars Titanium Nitride Ultimate Craft Scissors. With the craft scissors locked in the closed position I pierced a hole hear the neck of the bottle as a starting point for my cutting. You may want to do this step depending on the age and abilities of your child. Then I simply opened the safety lock and cut down towards my marked guide and cut all the way around.
2. Cut two pieces of solid blue cardstock measuring 2"x12" using your Fiskars 12" portable rotary trimmer. I wasn't able to get the 12" strip to fit all the way around the 2 liter bottle so I needed to add a bit more which is why you will need 2 strips. Once you have your strips cut then go along the long edges with your Fiskars Apron Lace border punch. Piece the strips together to the length that you need and then run the entire strip through your Fiskars Paper Crimper.
3. Using your Fiskars Easy Squeeze Glue gun apply adhesive and attach the crimped strip to the upper portion of your 2 liter bottle.
4. Cut two strips of Garden Stripe patterned cardstock measuring 1"x12". You will mount this on top of the border punched and crimped strip, so again measure and adjust your two strips to fit around your bottle on top of this strip.
5. Next take your small soda bottle and cut it down the same way you did the large one so it is about 3" tall. Using your Fiskars Craft Drill create a small hole in the bottom of this cup for drainage.
6. Cut a 1 1/2" x 12" strip of Luster Meadow blooms using your Fiskars 12" portable rotary trimmer. Adjust the length to fit and then fasten it around the small cup using the Fiskars Easy Squeeze Glue Gun.
7. Punch a circle using your XL Round n' Round Squeeze punch from the blue patterned cardstock. Place one of the Alyssa's garden dimensional stickers in the center and place this circular piece on green strip you already attached to your cup.
8. Using your Fiskars Circle cutter, 18"x24" mat and a sheet of Quilted Flowers patterned cardstock cut a circle large enough to fit the outside diameter of your plate. Mine was 10". Once you have that cut, then you will want to cut a circle out of the center large enough so your 2 liter bottle will easily fit inside. I cut a 7" circle out of the inside of mine.
9. Next ink around the inside and outside edges of your circle using your Fiskars Why So Blue ink pad. Attach the ring to the outside edge of your plate again using your fiskars Glue gun.
10. Use your Fiskars Craft drill to create 2 small holes in the top of your 2 liter bottle. You will drill the first one 1/4" out from the center and then follow that straight across to the other side and drill another on that side 1/4" from center. You will use these holes to create a bow on top of your greenhouse. This will add a decorative touch as well and providing a handle to pick up your greenhouse cover. Thread your ribbon up, one end through each hole and tie a bow. I used two different colors of ribbon for mine.
11. To finish off the ribbon pieces I attached a dimensional flower to the center.
Now you are ready to add some soil and plant some seeds to your decorated cup! Give your new seeds some water, cover your cup with your greenhouse cover and set it by a sunny window. My daughter decided she wants to try to grow a flower to match the papers (a girl after my own very color coordinated mind). We will see how long it takes for our seeds to sprout. She is learning to check the soil moisture each day as she tends her seeds and waits for that little bit of green to peek up through the soil. Most of all, we just had so much fun crafting together!

3.75/5 rDev +1.4%
From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #64 (May 2012):
LOOK: Quick to foam, semi-clear golden hue
SMELL: Peppery, herbal, gummy, eucalyptus, lemongrass, chalky, animal feed graininess
TASTE: Slick, semi-smooth, hop bitterness, phenolic, herbal, earthy, slightly dank, grassy, biscuity, orange pith, green peppercorn; dry, grainy finish
The forced viral video marketing for this beer didn't even come close to surpassing the true persona of Flying Dog and its labeling. Aggressive but drinkable; complex but still approachable for most beer geeks, as they'll be riding off the hopping.

Poured into a tulip glass a clear light to medium golden with a large blooming white head that stuck nicely to the glass leaving multiple rings of lace as it settled slowly into a frothy mass.Alot of tropical fruit and sharp grapefruit hop aromas,really fresh and inviting,slight yeasty phenols underneath the hops.Slightly medicinal and citric hops on the palate but they seem to lose some punch pretty quickly,spiced yeasy phenols play a small role.The flavors lack some depth and complexity but this is a pretty good beer,love the looks and aromas.

Freshie growler fill up from DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY. $799 for the 32 ounce pour. They just got bottles of this new one as well.
Pours hazed, medium yellowy amber, near white head, leaves a thicker film and lovely fine and striated lace.
Light lemon, pepper and tropical fruit in the nose.
Brightly flavorful and complex brew, with zesty citrus, orange and lime. Coriander, ginger, a lime zest also come to mind. Biting hops dry things out quickly. Bitterness quite present, but not overpowering the spicy, floral and citric hop notes. Toss in a soft yeasty Belgian note and the deal is complete.
Love the style and I'm impressed with this new one from Flying Dog.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Tulip.
Appearance: Very cloudy yellow with massive, towering white foam, leaving loads of sticky lacing behind. Impressive.
Smell: Very dry and musty, with clove, pepper, orange peel and a general spiciness.
Taste: Musty and earthy with almost a Brett-like character. Bready malts with lots of spiciness (clove, pepper, coriander). Strong citrus, either from orange peel or hops or maybe both. Not really bitter as the IPA name suggested.
Feel: Highly carbonated with a light medium body. Dry and refreshing.
Overall: More like a really spicy (and maybe hoppy) Saison than a Belgian IPA. Regardless, it is tasty brew.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of March 2013. Acquired from Trembling Madness in York. I had this on tap at In de Wildeman a few months back, so I jumped when I saw it on the shelf. Memories of Amsterdam! As always, I love the Ralph Steadman artwork on the label.
Poured into a Delirium chalice. A hazy golden colour with strong carbonation. Yields an enormous head of creamy white foam that lasts for ages; this slowly subsides to a decent surface layer. Aroma of spicy, fruity Belgian yeast with notes of cloves, banana and bubblegum. Hints of citrus hop aroma and sweet malt. A distinctly boozy whiff in the background.
Tastes of fruity Belgian yeast esters with a hoppy character. Notes of cloves, banana, coriander, bubblegum, stewed hops/herbs and faint citrus. Quite dry, with considerable bitterness upon swallowing and a hint of alcohol in the background. Mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied, with tingly carbonation. Dry and somewhat astringent. Aftertaste of fruity yeast esters and stewed hop bitterness.
Pretty good, and distinctly Belgian in nature. The fruity yeast flavours and aromas dominate it's character. Not much in the way of aromatic hops - the hints of citrus are light and easily overpowered, though stewed hops add a strident bitterness. Ultimately, it comes across as unbalanced and overly yeasty. Worth trying, but not the best Belgian IPA out there.

Pours a brilliant lemonade clouded godlen color with a big white frothing head large bubbles but sturdy carbonation, pour soft the beer is pretty agitated off the bat when you pop the cap you will hear the carbonation release. Aroma, first off lemon/lime notes with hints of tropical fruit dare I say mango/pineapple combo. A bit of funky yeast similar to the same yeast they use in Ragin' Bitch, spicy and a bit funky. Flavor wise this hits with big time bitterness from both hop additions, spicy yeast notes, black pepper qualities and something I can't pin my finger on. The artwork and the beer are pretty crazy I like how the new sixpack holders proudly state that this stuff is being brewed in Frederick, MD something us beergeeks have been in tune with since they left Denver years ago. Serve it a bit cold it masks some of the bitterness that I found kind of offensive in my first couple sips fade a bit. The yeast is bitter, the hops are bitter, and there seems to be citrus pith that is bitter with minimal sweetness masked by the Belgian yeast strain this beer is a bit of a cluster. Mouthfeel is cloyingly dry and bitter with layers of hops, spice, alcohol, citrus peel just downright awful texture starts to make me want to gag...also you have to deal with the high level of carbonation I'm pawning the rest of these beers off on my cousin Joe, who pretty much loves any beer from Flying Dog. Overall I will not revisit or waste my time on such a harsh beer drinking experience. I like Belgians,saisons, IPAs, white ales, but not when they're all blended together.

A- This beer pours a full glass of foam even with a very gentle pour. It pushes above the glass holding its shape like a glacier. Soon a hazy dense yellowish-apricot body develops with a strong carbonation pushing to the surface.
S- This beer has a slightly fruity ester aroma to the yeast character and an interesting widex hint that is not really offensive. There are some green fruity notes that are probably more from hops but could be yeast, that come through lightly in the finish.
T- The peppery fusel alcohol spice leads to a dry green woody hops flavor and some dry peppery yeast phenols that linger after the dry finish. There is a nice hop pungency that lingers after the finish. Some white plastic flavors come through and turn into more of a fusel alcohol flavor as the beer opens and some apricot hop and clove phenolic come through aswell.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a tight fizz and not really much alcohol heat.
O- Nice big hot mess of flavors some interesting some a bit odd but none of them are really offensive. Perhaps a bit shocking but pretty tasty all the same.

Bottle poured into a tulip.
A-Cloudy amber gold with two fingers of eggshell white head
S-Smells of citrus, bread, spices and hops
T-Funky, hoppy with notes of spice and citrus
M-Frothy with a light body

Various injuries to former third-round OLB Shawn Crable have made him mostly an afterthought in the Patriots' quest to find pass-rush solutions. But Crable, who has yet to play a snap in the NFL, believes he finally can help the team this season and has been staying in shape after shin, groin and back injuries wiped out his first two pro seasons. But does the team believe this? Many believe the Patriots will spend at least one of their top picks (they currently own four of the first 53 choices in the draft) on a pass rusher at outside linebacker. But right now, overachiever Tully Banta-Cain is the only real threat from the outside. Past Patriots teams had a multitude of rushers who rotated in, and Crable certainly could have a chance to earn such a role. It would be unlikely to expect him to be a 60-snap-a-game player coming off injuries and having never hit the field. But he could carve out a role that would be far more productive than the zero snaps he has logged to date.

Be on the top searches online.
Reaching the top positions online is a must for all marketers. It is better to establish a good website to gain more potential customers. Creating a website is the number one step that you need to do. Once you already have a website, then that's the time SEO agents would determine what would be the possible keywords they would optimize.

Madagascar, "The Great Red Island" as it is often called, is officially known as the Malagasy Republic. It is the fourth largest island in the world and is a land of sheer beauty. Ringed by golden beaches and date- palm trees, the interior varies from grassy plateaus, to volcanoes, and impenetrable equatorial forests. It is lush with a great variety of fruits such as mangos, grapes, peaches, peals, pineapples, avocados, and lichee nuts. All about are colorful flowers in abundance: orchids, violets, and mimosa.
Tananarive, the capital, is a picturesque city with narrow sloping streets and houses that seem to cling to the hillside. The open market, characteristic of all of Africa, is most exhilarating. There you will find the long black vanilla beans sold in little packets to be used in many ways. but mostly in flavoring fruit. A large portion of the crop (120 million vanilla beans) makes its way to the U.S.A. every year from Madagascar. Everywhere you see scallions, turnips, tomatoes, and a variety of green vegetables. And there is always plenty of fish.
The people of Madagascar are mostly Malayan Polynesian with some admixture of Indian, Arab, African, and European. Despite the variety of races one language is used throughout the island, Malagasy; the second language is French. Rice is the staple of the island and is served three times a day. Most of it is home grown.
You can recognize the influence of the French in the food, which is not as highly spiced as in most of Africa. While the curry is much like that of Malaysia, subtle and not overpowering, it is just different enough to be interesting. Most recipes call for a smidgen of red hot pepper, called Sakay, and it is generally served separately so that one can control the amount to taste.
The manner in which beef- Varenga- is treated is worthy of note. Beef is cut in small pieces, simmered until done, shredded, and then roasted until it is browned. It is surprisingly delicious and a good way to use left-over cooked beef.
The true Malagache serves his meal, as is done in most parts of Africa, on a mat on the floor. Everything is put down at the same time--but in the cities individual plates are used and the utensil is a large spoon (no knives or forks are used).
Dinner is a simple affair. There are no preliminaries such as snacks, hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, or drinks. Guests are brought to the dining area and served directly. Today, you will find the Western influence appearing more strongly, and dining areas are being increasingly adopted.
Malagaches like their food simply prepared, flavorful, but as we have said, not highly spiced. Fruits and vegetables are utilized at their freshest, and it is not uncommon to start a meal with vegetable soup and then to serve two or three vegetables with the entree. The beverage that goes with the meal is Ranonapango, a drink made by burning rice--yes, actually burning the rice and adding water to it. (The recipe is given on page 93.)
The entree might very well be a chicken or fish curry, and it is usually one of the three rice meals each day. In Malagasy curries are prepared a little differently than in other countries. A Malagache curry is included in the recipe section.
The dessert is usually fruit, flavored with vanilla. Some call Madagascar the Vanilla Island as they call Zanzibar the Spice Island. The fruit is not only prepared with vanilla, but more vanilla is added to it when it is served.
Malagasy tea, their own special brand (not available here), completes a most nutritious meal.
It might be more authentic to serve this menu on mats placed on the floor, but in the cities of Malagasy dinner would be served at a table. For the Malagasy meal, use bright yellow tablecloths and matching napkins--on a round table, if possible, to express the feeling of friendliness.
Place the napkin on a white service plate and top each napkin with a large bright flower. An iris or any flower that resembles the orchid family would be ideal but a large daisy or other flower will also serve.
The centerpiece is a bowl of fresh fruit interspersed with some of the same flowers that adorn each plate. Dishes are plain white or solid colors.
Start with the Lasopy, the veal vegetable puree, thick and hearty and served in earthenware bowls.
The Varenga, beautifully browned shredded beef, arrives in the oven- proof dish in which it was baked and is set on a trivet. A large bowl of Vary Amin Anana, steaming hot vegetables, and the Lasary Voatabia, tomato and scallion salad, are set on the table at the same time. It is not common practice to serve bread or rolls, but be sure that a large bowl of white rice is part of the dinner.
Ranonapango, the burned-rice drink would be correct to serve with the dinner, but you might want to substitute cold lemonade or ice water. Your guests will find the dessert delicious. If you cannot obtain the fruits suggested in the Salady Voankazo (fresh fruits with lichee nuts), use any fruits that are available. Sugar them lightly and sprinkle pure vanilla extract over the fruit.
Serve tea or coffee in the usual manner.
The Malagache dinner is one of the easiest to prepare and to serve. And it is utterly different!

Fruits and Vegetables
This is truly a great soup; loaded with vitamins and minerals and low in calories. Any combination of fresh vegetables and meat bones may be used, but do not add pulses (dried beans, peas, and lentils). Nor is potato, rice, or any other starchy vegetable in the Lasopy, which is a true vegetable puree simply flavored with meat bones.
In a 4-quart pot:
Simmer: 3 Ibs. VEAL BONES
Add: 3 CARROTS, peeled and cut in three pieces
Simmer for about 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
Remove the veal bones.
Put the vegetables through a sieve or vegetable mill to make a puree.
Serve thick and hot from a soup tureen into soup bowls with or without crackers.
In a 4-quart saucepan:
Combine: 4 Ibs. BONELESS CHUCK, cut in 1-inch pieces.
Cover and bring to a boil; simmer gently for 2 hours or until meat can be shredded with a fork.
Add water if necessary to keep meat at simmering point.
Shred the meat by cutting it into thin strips. Meat should come apart easily.
Transfer the shredded meat and sauce to a greased 9 x 12-inch baking pan (oven-proof).
Roast at 400' for 30 minutes until it is nicely browned across the top.
Garnish with 3 or 4 PARSLEY SPRIGS and bring to the table on a trivet.
Serve with white rice.
In a 4-quart saucepan:
Saute: 1/2 Ib. BONELESS CHUCK cut in 1/2-inch cubes in
Add 1 TOMATO cut in 1/2-inch chunks.
Cook with the beef for 10 minutes.
Add: 1 bunch SCALLIONS, cut in 1-inch pieces.
Saute stirring occasionally with cover on until vegetables soften.
Add: 2 cups WATER (or enough to cover vegetables) and
Cover tightly and simmer slowly until rice is thoroughly cooked and all the liquid is absorbed.
Correct the Seasoning to your taste.
Serve with hot pepper Sakay as a relish to accompany Lasopy.
In a 1-pint bowl:
Combine: 1/2 cup CRUSHED RED PEPPER
Add 4 Tbs. OIL or enough to make a mush.
Place 1 to 2 Tbs. Sakay in tiny butter dishes or pass in a bowl.
In a 1-quart bowl:
Combine: 1 cup SCALLIONS, finely diced
Stir lightly and chill.
Serve approximately 1/3 cup per portion in small sauce dishes.
Vanilla gives an unfamiliar bouquet and unusual flavor to fresh fruits.
In a 2-quart glass or china bowl:
Combine: 1 cup FRESH PINEAPPLE, cut in 1-inch dice
Mix the fruits so that they are well blended.
Pour 1/2 cup CANNED LICHEE NUTS across top of fruit.
In a 1-pint saucepan:
Combine: 1/2 cup SUGAR
Bring to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
Add 2 Tbs. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT to the syrup.
Pour the piping hot syrup over the fruit.
Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Fill a small cruet or sprinkler bottle with PURE VANILLA EXTRACT.
Bring the Salady to the table in the bowl along with the cruet of vanilla.
Fill individual compote dishes with the fruit.
Sprinkle a few drops VANILLA over the fruit as it is being served.
This is one of the favorite foods of Malagasy. Dried beef is cut in strips and broiled over a charcoal fire. If you would like to make it, purchase round steak cut 1/4-inch thick. Cut the meat in pieces about 4 inches x 2 inches, thread the strips on a fine strong cord and hang the cord up as you would a small clothesline. The meat will become quite dry in a few hours. Put the strips over a charcoal brazier so that the meat dries to a crispness but does not burn. Remove the meat immediately from the fire as it crisps. This is a great delicacy in Madagascar. It is usually eaten with a watery cornmeal mush for breakfast.
These are another treat in Malagasy. They are served as a vegetable and may be added to your Malagache dinner. See recipe, page 186.
This is the burned-rice beverage which is an important part of the meal. Malagache cooks double the quantity of rice they require for the meal. When it is cooked, they remove most of the rice from the earthenware pan. The remainder (a layer about 1/2-inch thick) is heated until it is burned and acquires a characteristic aroma. At that point boiling water is poured over the rice to the top of the pan. It is cooled, strained, and chilled. This beverage is used in place of water on the island.

The Department of Hearing and Speech at WFBH offers a range of services to help individuals with speech and/or language disorders. A speech and/or language disorder can be a result of stroke, brain tumor, traumatic brain injury, or neurological disease. Our Speech-language pathologists evaluate and treat adult patients with motor speech disorders and aphasia in the inpatient, rehab, and outpatient settings.
Motor Speech Disorders
Motor speech disorders can make it very difficult for individuals to clearly and effectively express themselves, which can be very frustrating. People with motor speech disorders know what they want to say, but cannot get it out. The two types of motor speech disorders are:
Aphasia is a language disorder, usually caused by damage to the left side of the brain. There are different types of aphasia that affect people in various ways. Aphasia can make it difficult for a person to understand spoken or written information. It can also affect a person's ability to speak or write. Sometimes an individual can have impairments in all of these areas to some degree. The different types of aphasia are known as global, Broca's, transcortical motor, conduction, anomic, transcortical sensory and Wernicke's aphasia.
The Speech-language pathologist will obtain medical history, perform an oral motor examination, and have the patient perform various speech tasks. The Speech-language pathologist may ask the patient to follow commands, respond to questions, name objects, repeat words and sentences, or perform reading and writing tasks. All of the information obtained during the evaluation will be used to establish a treatment plan to meet the patient's individual needs.
Treatment and therapy varies greatly depending on the specific disorder. For example, if someone has problems speaking clearly because of weak muscles, they may perform oral exercises and be taught speech strategies to speak more clearly. If a patient has a type of aphasia that causes them to have difficulty understanding what others are saying; therapy may target comprehension activities. The Speech-language pathologist will establish what the patient's individual needs are and will develop a specific treatment plan that will be most beneficial for the patient.

4/5 rDev -2%
This place is right around the corner from my Mom's house, and is where I got my first homebrew kit. It was a basic "vitner's" or something kit that they had suped up, which was nice. The staff was really helpful in what kit to use for the first time and offered tips. They also have a great selection of other general DIY stuff like cider, wine and all that good stuff. The selection wasn't terribly large, but I could see it sufficing for a neighborhood shop. I know they teach classes both on site and to larger groups off site, which are supposed to be great. One example of a great thing the customer service there...We stopped in to get ingredients for a recipe in How to Brew, but forgot to bring our copy. He just opened a new one in the store and made a copy of it to make notes on it for us for our first partial mash. A place I would visit frequently if I lived in Beverly.

I've been to this place a few times now, usually just picking stuff up for a recipe. When you walk in, the store is a little cramped. The space is full of a bunch of different odds and ends, seeming to have almost one of everything I could possibly need. The man who I have seen up front each time I have been there (I forget his name) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and has been great when they were missing a hop variety suggesting replacements. Great guy and a great store. I would much rather go here than the one up north. Love this place.

Great home brew shop and wine making supply store. This small shop has been in the southside Chicago's Beverly neighborhood for a few years now. They hold classes, sell equipment, ingredients, and offer plenty of free advice for the newbies and experienced brewers too. They have everything you could need to do extract, partial mash, or all-grain brewing with experts helping you along the way. Only downside is a limited selection of grains, but I always try to buy from here when I can to help support the local stores.

The people at Bev Art are great. They're knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. When I was a new homebrewer, they walked me through equipment, counselled me over the phone when I had brewing problems, and helped me design recipes. As I got more advanced, I always found that they knew what they were talking about. If I've needed an ingredient that they don't have in stock, they've been willing to get it for me. If I'm in Chicago, I'll go to the store even though the internet is easier for me, just to make sure my dollars go to such a great organization

All the props to Bev Art they started me homebrewing. There class was great. Greg is a passionate mead maker and knowledgeable home brewer. I really enjoyed the lager I made in the class.
The service is good here yet it's always difficult to have great service when there is no solutions. I often find that they don't have what I want in stock. I'll stroll in for a keg part or a specialty grain and they won't have it. They're always friendly on the phone and genuinely want to help you. It's just lacking beer stock.
All in all Bev-Art is a cool place to stop in and visit in their antique-esque shop. Thanks for all the help. Cheers.

One of the best homebrew shops around. I went there years ago when I lived in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. A very small shop, but the place is packed with supplies in every nook of the store. Selection is great as well. And the owner is a great guy, willing to talk to you and help you with any questions. They do classes on beer, wine and meads. My only complaint is the prices are a little high, compared to other shops. I paid about $50 for a sack of base malt that I usually get from another place for about $35. But they always have fresh yeast and hops and just about every grain to fit your bill. I still go occassionally when my usual shop is out of something, even though it's an hour drive each way.

I recently got into the whole brewing thing so I definitely had to take a ride to bev art to see exactly what kind of stuff they had. When I arrived I was helped immediately and I was instantly given my first lesson in meade they then asked me if I cared to try some and when I agreed the man pulled out five bottles and began serving it up. It was pretty nice. The gentleman who helped me was very helpful and seemed to be very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. It was also not intimidating for the beginning brewer. He was happy to answer all my questions.

I went here to get my new home brew kit. I've spent a lot of time with the kits of friends and knew exactly what i wanted.
First, beverly isn't the easiest place to reach even from Hyde Park, especially considering the then ongoig highway construction (July 2007). This isn't the fault of the store but still played into the overall experience.
We got to the store and loved the crowded look. It meant business. We were in the store and two gentlemen were talking to a guy and a girl, giving them glasses of mead. They didn't pay much attention to us, but after 5 minutes, they said Hi and poured my friend and I some mead. We drank, commented, discussed and then, as an afterthought, they said "what can we do for you."
It would be easy to see this as bad service, but I loved that these guys were so laid back and open with their wares ;-) It took awhile for them to get what I need, and they were out of some basic equipment (stockpots) but I decided on upgrading to a larger pot and they could oblige. Their supply of ingredients wasn't great but it got me what I needed for my first recipies.
All in all, good memories and I got what was needed. Still, compared with the convenience of 7.99 shipping and now commute from Northern Brewer, I don't know how often I'd go back unless I had a brewer's emergency e.g. forgot to get caps...it happens.

NEW ORLEANS — Hornets guard Eric Gordon will sit out once again tonight as he continues to move forward from the nagging right knee injury that has kept him out of 38 games so far this season.
Roger Mason Jr. will get the start, coach Monty Williams said, giving the Hornets a little more size at the guard position against Golden Start's frontcourt.
Additionally, Williams said Greivis Vasquez will likely see fewer minutes after playing 118 of a possible 144 on the road the past week.
"He played a ton of minutes last night," Williams said of Vasquez, who was in for nearly 40 minutes Sunday. "I'll be checking with him throughout the game to see where he is (physically), but I'll start Roger to have some more size. Darius (Miller) may see some more time, as well as Terrell (Harris)."
Gordon has been on a back-to-back restriction this season, not playing the second night of those scenarios. He missed the first six weeks of the season while he was a rehabilitation stint in California as he worked on the right knee.

What Kevin & Alyson said about Lance Wheeler Video
Hi Lance,
We just returned from our honeymoon to find our wedding DVD waiting for us, and I wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know what an unbelievable job you did.
Our choice in videographer was spot-on; you managed to catch every little moment and expression, while still being completely unobtrusive. I can echo the reviews on your website in saying that I never would have known you were there aside from your friendly greeting and lovely presence throughout the big day.
It was really special to have the opportunity to view the clip you compiled for us right before we had departed for our trip, and the final product speaks for itself. I don't think I know anyone else who actually wants to watch their wedding video over and over again!!!
Thank you for capturing so much of our wedding for us. Please know that we would be happy to serve as a reference for you at any point in time, write any testimonial or review that might be helpful, and invite you to use any portion of this heartfelt message as may be useful.
It was such a pleasure to work with you!!

Peter Hagar, Cornell Ag Connection
— Make hay when the sun shines.
That sounds easy, but when the forecast predicts showers and rain every day for what seems like weeks on end, it doesn't give the farmer much leeway.
A couple of weeks back, I saw an opportunity to mow some hay. It had rained that morning, but the day had brightened and although the forecast cautioned of rain in a couple days, I hooked up the mower and spent a couple hours mowing hay.
Being the first hay of the year, it would hopefully be the best. I would bale the hay into small square bales for our four ponies and once we get enough for them, the rest would be extra for the beef cows. As luck would have it, the rain held off and the next two days were fairly decent drying weather.
After tedding the hay to fluff it up and raking it into long spiraling windrows for baling, I had spent many hours on our old tractor. When the last bale was finished, the hay all loaded and the wagons were backed into the shed, it was a very satisfying feeling. Within an hour of completing the whole process, it started to sprinkle and then rain; little more than 48 hours after I began. Since then, the rain just hasn't quit.
Without the weather technology that we enjoy today, it probably would not have turned out as well. Not too long ago, farmers would have to gamble on the weather using experience, the farmer's almanac and local weather history. Today, farmers and growers have access to an amazing number of weather forecasting and monitoring services.
The National Weather Service has a network of 122 local weather forecast offices covering the United States. Local weather forecasts and live radar images are available via the Internet at any time. All this available technology helps farmers make informed decisions about when to mow hay and plan their harvest. And while it is a great benefit, it can sometimes be frustrating to see the forecast change from one hour to the next.
For the small, part-time farmer putting up dry hay for a few horses, goats or beef cows, the weather is still a major obstacle. Timing the harvest for the weekend or arranging a few days off to bale hay does not always work out.
Baling dry hay usually requires a couple of hot sunny days to bring the grass down from 70 percent to 15 to 18 percent moisture content. While waiting for more consistent hot, dry weather in July would be more reliable, getting the first cutting in the barn in May or June yields a much higher quality feed.
After a certain point, feed value and digestibility drop on a daily basis as the hay matures. For adult beef cows or mature horses, later-cut hay may be sufficient to meet their maintenance requirements, but young or growing livestock and horses need higher protein and energy forages to thrive.
One pitfall that many small and beginning farmers make is over investing in haying equipment. While making good hay is very satisfying, the cost of all the equipment necessary to reliably mow, rake and bale a small crop may not be cost effective. Buying hay from a larger farmer who already has the land base, the equipment and know how is often a better deal in the long run.
One benefit of purchasing hay is that you will also be importing and adding nutrients to your pastures and fields. At a recent conference I attended, it was recommended that instead of feeding hay in a feeder at the barn or a small lot, farmers should unroll large round bales into the pasture for winter feed. After a winter of feeding large round bales to my beef cows, I have noticed a significant improvement in the thickness and quality of the pasture. This is simply due to the manure and hay residue spread naturally by the cattle.
Regardless of whether you raise your own hay or buy it from a neighboring farm, harvesting quality forages for dairy cows, beef cattle, horses and other livestock has and will continue to be an important part of farming in Clinton County each year. Our cool, moist climate is ideal for the growing of forages such as grass, clover and alfalfa that feed the dairy cattle that are the mainstay of our local agricultural economy.
Unfortunately, this year has been so wet and rainy that fields are saturated and farmers are unable to harvest much of their hay crop. So when you do finally see a farmer out baling hay, know that a lot of time, effort and worrying about the weather were all invested from start to finish.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSUtility Gets Approval To Make Upgrades In WV
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 24, 2014 5:09 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia regulators have approved a request by an Appalachian Power affiliate to upgrade transmission facilities in the Kanawha Valley.
The utility said Friday that the W.Va. Public Service Commission approved AEP West Virginia Transmission Company Inc.'s request this month.
Regulators found that the facilities will enhance the reliability of the electric transmission grid and prevent conditions that could cause thermal overloads.
The project will involve removing current transmission facilities and replacing them with more modern structures and equipment of the same voltage that can carry about twice the capacity of the original lines.
The cost for the two projects is estimated to be $173 million. Construction is expected to be complete in 2017.
Appalachian Power has 1 million customers in Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Rocketman To Be Produced, But This Isn't It
Sections: In the Press, R?? MINI City Car, Rocketman May 20th, 2011 14 Comments
AutoExpress, the overly sensational british auto tabloid, has done it again with a set of "photos" claiming that this is the production version of the MINI Rocketman concept. They are not. In fact the details aren't even close to what MINI will ultimately produce. The 'photos' are nothing but photoshop jobs of the concept car we saw last spring at Geneva. However Auto Express does give us further confirmation that the Rocketman will ultimately be produced. So let's talk about what we know. continued →
