Museo de Etnografía y Folklore
Anthropology buffs should check out this free museum. The building, itself a real treasure, was constructed between 1776 and 1790, and was once the home of the Marqués de Villaverde. The highlight is the Tres Milenios de Tejidos exhibition of stunning weavings from around the country – ask a guide for a look inside the drawers beneath the wall hangings.

On tap at Alpine (2/29/12). Pours a dark ruby. Light pink head. Not a very big head, about a finger. Disappears into a ring around the top of the beer. Nose is funky, much like provolone cheese. No tartness comes through. A bit of sweet cherry can be found in the back. On the tongue it is sweet. Sweet cherry flavor with a hint of funk and residual tartness. A little vanilla towards the end. The sour character is not big at all, its very subtle. This allows the delicate cherries to shine. Mouthfeel is a tad thin, with low carbonation. But gets sticky as it warms up. Lasting flavor afterwards. Awesome treat.

A: A dark ruby color, very fine bubbles with very little head and lacing.
S: Cherry bomb with loads of tart.
T: Lots of cherry and a very distinct funk. A lingering oakiness rounds out the taste. Lots of dry wine flavors.
MF/D: Crisp bubbles dance across the tongue, could easily drink several glasses... or bottles... of this sour. Delicious!

750ml bottle sampled side by side with Briscoe.
Yellow/orange/pink in appearance with a bubbly head on top that shows off the mellow carbonation here. Aromas bring strong acidic sour notes with vinegar accents upfront. Cherries are well placed along with woody oak. Stings the nose a bit.
Flavor starts with good cherry fruit that moves into acidic, tart funkiness. The mouth puckers as this one goes down with dry, woody oak tastes and even a touch of vanilla. Lingering vinegar fruitiness on the finish. Brace yourself for this one!
Mouthfeel is lighter with mellow carbonation. Goes down easily enough, just make sure you have some antacids nearby! A tasty interpretation of a kriek here, but I do agree that at $28 it was overpriced. A good bottle to share and I'm glad autumnaldave shared this one with me as I shared my Briscoe!

Pours reddish copper, lots fo carbonation, and a flat white head. Vinuous cherry nose, some oak and malt, almost like a cherry cobbler. Pucker-type sour as opposed to the bretty-dank sour. Good blalance of the sour cherry and sweeter malt, tempered by the oak and vanilla flavors. A bit medicinal at times, but not enough to ruin the beer. Always a treat with Alpine.

Alpine Beer Company
Alpine, CA
Dark ruby and raspberry in color, with a quickly forming, moderately sized light pink head that eventually falls away and leaves ribbons of lace down the glass. Pretty and appropriate.
The smell is quite strange and is atypical for the style, especially after the initial pour. The combination of blue cheese, body funk, and vinegar are not entirely pleasant. Initially, it's difficult to even appreciate cherry. The aroma does significantly get better as the beer is allowed to sit, warm up, and agitate. A juicy cherry note emerges from the funk eventually and is appreciated.
The flavor is significantly better than the aroma, even initially when the beer smells particularly funky. The tart and sweet cherry flavors are present, along with mild farmhouse funk and some stinging acidity. Good, but not great.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, though it seems to lose it's body somewhat quickly. By the end of the glass, this was quite flat and juice-like.
A decent American interpretation of the style, but there are significantly better options within the style at far more inexpensive price points.

On tap at the brewery last month. Light brown, gold, light purple(?) and light red. For a lambic, this looks hella dark. A little thin tan cap of head on it. Nothing in terms of lacing or whatnot. Had a tart aroma, dark cherry, but damn if that ain't a funk reminiscient of diapers, cheese and sweaty socks. I guess to some, they're going for that, but I like some really well respected lambics, and they don't smell like shit.
Taste, thankfully, does not encompass any sweat or dirty diaper like flavor. Its cherry, its tart, its kind of boozy for the style especially. A good amount of wet oak type of flavors. Red wine like notes, but not really the tannin aspect. Definitely some vinegar in there.
For me, this would need to be a little more dry and sour for it to be a very good kriek. I've definitely had a lot worse (NB, Timmermans, Big Sky) but I've definitely had a lot better too. Mouthfeel seemed a little too thick. Sweetness is probably the right amount, but tastes a tad high, prolly because I wanted more acidic, tart, sour and dry notes coming out of it. Definitely the darker cherry variety.

This beer pours a pinkish brown coor, with a tiny white head that fades instantly, leaving no lace.
This beer smells of cherries. It has a nice sour aroma. Slight viniger, but good. It has a slight oaky aroma also.
This beer tastes like it smells. Sour, and great. Some tart cherries and some oak are present.
This beer is low in carbonation, fitting the style. It leaves a sour cherry aftertaste.
This beer would make an excelent session beer. It tastes great, and the alcohol content is low.
Overall: This beer is great. I love it, and I wish I had more. It was worth the wait. Way to go Alpine.

Chez Monieux is a lighter gold color. It's crystal clear. A little light gives it a bit of an orange look. Carbonation looks active initially, producing a white head that rises to finger quickly. It falls just as fast. Lacing was very light and stringy.
The nose is good. It's a little musky and funky up front. There's no doubt about the presence of Brett or some other wild yeast. It smells fairly modest though. Suits me just fine. There's definitely a good bit of sour cherry. Oak and vinous notes are also present from the wine barrel aging. There's an earthy quality to it that permeates throughout. It's a bit grainy. Alcohol is buried.
The flavor is even a little more impressive. Tart cherries kick it off. It's nice a nice, moderate tart flavor. Nothing mouth puckering. Wild yeast definitely gives it a funky flavor. It's also a bit restrained. That's a great combo for me. Too much funk or cherry would probably be a bad thing for this guy. The wine barrel aging definitely imparted a nice oak flavor. It's a little vinous, but I wouldn't characterize it as tannic. Alcohol is never a factor. Finishes tart and a little funky. Excellent stuff.
Chez Monieux has a medium body that's surprisingly smooth. Carbonation is actually rather light, and helps smooth it out. This stuff goes down easy. A 750 = no problem at all.
I've always been a fan of Alpine Beer Company. I always associate them with IPAs. Who knew they'd do such a nice job with a barrel-aged Lambic featuring wild yeast. I'm honestly a bit shocked at how good this is. I never tried it fresh. Perhaps it's just improved over the past three years. I don't know if Alpine ever plans on brewing this again, but they should strongly consider it. Very impressive.

Thanks to popery for this excellent tick. 22oz bottle.
Pours an almost clear amber head with a small whitish head on top.
Pretty good wild aroma, some lacto and Brett, with a hint of sweet malt.
The flavor is like a pretty standard wild ale. Malty sweetness, caramel, acetic notes, and wild yeasts.
Medium-bodied with good lively carbonation.
Solid if unremarkable wild ale.

Pours a clear, dark pinkish red color with a light rose head that fades really fast. The smell is tart at first, but after that it is big on the sweet and sour cherry. You get both components, but mostly a sour cherry smell. The taste is nice and moderately acidic, cherry there unmistakably. The mouthfeel on this beer is very light and effervescent. I actually wouldn't have minded a fraction higher body on this. Really a good and interesting sour beer to drink. Not as complex as I would think, but pretty straight forward as far as acid + cherry goes. Tasty beer.

Bottle courtesy of Gford217: Poured a light red color ale with a light pink bubbly head with some average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of red wine and tart notes with some light sour cherries. Taste is a mix between some sour cherries, with some tart notes with loads of oak and some red wine notes. Average carbonation with limited funk notes when I was expecting a lot more from the description. Overall, I though this was easily drinkable and maybe a bit light for the kind of beer it would like to be.

A: Beautiful beer. Burnt orange. Without trying to sound too lame, it's like a nice sunset.
S: Unique. Vanilla, cherry, a bit of funky old lambic.
T/M: Whoa. Lots of vanilla here. There's a nice cherry tartness, but the vanilla definitely dominates, lingering on the mouth even. Not a big fan of how much vanilla there is here. You can tell the cherry tartness underneath would have made a great beer. Just too much oak, in my humble opinion
D: Nicely drinkable given the tartness and low abv. But the vanilla makes it a little cloying after awhile. Can you see where I'm going with this review?
Very interesting and unique lambic-style beer. I don't think the vanilla from the oak meshes well here, but overall it was well worth a try.

NAPPANEE — There aren't five people in the organization Chicago and Michiana Five for the Homeless based in Nappanee. Instead, the name is a call to action, according to the organization's founder John Shafer.
Shafer explained it was fueled by a Christmas shopping trip to Chicago last fall he and roommate Rodney Rabel made. "After 10 p.m. as we wandered the streets we noticed a large number of people sleeping on the sidewalk, bedded down for the night. Many just had a coat and were huddled up against the storefront — some had a bottom blanket and I thought, 'What about when it gets really cold?' There were these people sleeping right on the sidewalk and people were just passing by."
Shafer felt like he couldn't just pass by. "But I thought, 'What can I do as one person?' If nothing else on the next trip I could take 25 blankets."
They planned a return trip to Chicago and passed out those blankets. They came across a mother and three children on one of the bridges and each one received a blanket.
"The mother was very thankful we were there and very appreciative that we gave them each a blanket," Shafer said.
The experience made him think, "If there's 3 million people in the city of Chicago and each one gave $5 — that would be 15 million to help shelter the homeless. It would be a significant help to get $5 from everyone and they wouldn't even miss it."
That's where the name Chicago Five for the Homeless originated. As the ministry expanded to this area — South Bend, Elkhart and Warsaw — Michiana was added to the name. The two men are in the organization "and a lot of dedicated volunteers," Shafer said.
Shafer said thankfully they don't see a lot of children living on the streets, but there are a lot of disabled veterans and students.
According to Shafer, there are 25,000 unattended youth in Chicago going to school and college while homeless. There are 166,000 homeless in Chicago alone — that they know of. He said in 2002 Chicago came up with a 10-year plan for the homeless. "And here it is 2013," he said, "and not a lot's been done to keep the plan active or re-address the issue."
Many people feel there are plenty of shelters, but in reality they have to turn away more than they take in.
"People are sleeping in alleys, trash cans, doorways, park benches — anywhere," he said.
He said as word gets out about what they are doing and their efforts have been published and televised, "It enables us to receive donations that we distribute to seven different shelters regularly."
Locally, the South Bend Center for the Homeless is a major recipient — they've made 12 to 15 trips there. Elkhart Faith Mission has also been a beneficiary several times. Fellowship Mission in Warsaw is another local shelter that receives regular donations as do several local churches, including David's House Church in South Bend, Shepherd's Cove in Elkhart, Crossbar Ministries and Broadway United Methodist Church in South Bend.
Because of its growth, the organization became incorporated as a non-profit business with the state of Indiana in January.
In Chicago, they mainly work directly on the streets and Shafer will always remember that defining moment in November. "On that first night in November I stood back and watched the number of people who ignored the homeless," he said. "Out of a hundred in two hours, we're lucky if two-three responded. They are treated as invisible. Chicago's become immune to this daily situation. We felt being from Indiana this was something we could not ignore and turn a blind eye to."
"Many homeless in Chicago are so overwhelmed with surprise and joy they give us hugs — thankful for giving them basic necessities," he said. "Their expressions and hugs of gratitude are so moving and touching. that encourages us that what we're doing is a vital need to the homeless on the streets."
Misconceptions and fears
Shafer said that many individuals hold the concept that the homeless are just lazy and don't want to work.
"Life on the streets is so rigorous and dangerous — no one would choose that life — if given an opportunity they'd definitely take it," he said.
Many people don't have awareness of the obstacles getting in the way of the homeless getting a job, including not having a residence and a phone to get call backs, he said. Many don't have a current ID — all requirements for a job application. They can't get government assistance without an address or an ID.
Another common misconception is that if you give the homeless money they'll just buy drugs or alcohol.
"That's generally far from the truth," Shafer said. "First they want the basic food and water for the day. However, if buying a bottle of alcohol means they survive the day. We don't deny an adult a drink why deny the homeless a moment to forget their struggles?"
Shafer said he doesn't advocate alcohol or drug use but understands if a drink helps them forget their troubles for a moment and he hopes the money would benefit them instead with food and water.
"It is not my place to judge where an individual in need is going to use the money — on food or toiletries or clothes. It is up to them to use it as they have need," he said. "It's not my place to judge. My job is to reach out and offer help and assistance. That shows it's coming from the heart, that the help is genuine and we trust them in their actions."
Shafer said people have also asked him if he's fearful of being robbed and attacked and the answer is no. "These are everyday, normal people down on their luck," he said. "I've only received gratitude from kind-hearted people down on their luck."
Shafer related an encounter with one man in his 50s who, after giving him a bag filled with basic necessities for the day, said something he'll never forget.
"He said, 'I've been wandering the streets down here for nine hours. Not one person stopped to speak to me. Thank you. You are the first to stop and talk to me, to ask 'How are you doing?' and offer help.' We felt that was very sad in a city of thousands," Shafer said. "We encountered many veterans and people in wheelchairs — disabled vets should never be homeless."
Shafer has lived in Michiana all his life but moved to Nappanee about six years ago when Rabel invited him to move in to share expenses and it was closer to where he was working at the time. He then worked at Notre Dame and just retired in July due to health issues. Now he travels all over Michiana picking up and delivering donations. They've outgrown using their apartment for storage and are about to outgrow their 10-by-10-foot storage unit.
In April, the group teamed up with Southwest Airlines in Chicago to hold a four-week clothing drive spearheaded by 5th Ward Democrat Raymond Lopez, who Shafer said has also hit the streets with them to distribute clothes and turned his office into a collection site.
On recent trips they've taken people to help cover the miles of sidewalks and then take the rest of the items to a park where the homeless gather.
Shafer said, "Although it's difficult to be on my feet for extended periods of time because of my health issues, this keeps going and growing because of the many helpers and supporters we have."
He's thought about sometime renting an electric scooter so he could get around the streets himself and hand out bags.

Yesterday, ColorOfChange Executive Director Rashad Robinson was interviewed by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks. Cenk posed the question, "Should progressives give up on bipartisanship?" The question was prompted by two recent pieces on the topic, one in The New Yorker and another that ran yesterday in Politico.
Rashad drove home the point that Americans (and Black folks in particular) can't wait for political harmony to come to Washington. As he put it on the show, "We need to demand big and bold solutions to these problems" right now.

Late last week, Attorney General Eric Holder announced a working group comprised of state and federal officials who will investigate Wall Street banks' role in the housing crisis. The development comes in response to the ongoing work of ColorOfChange and our partners.

February 13 kicks off Social Media Week, and ColorOfChange Executive Director Rashad Robinson will join the conversation in DC to discuss how to leverage technology to ensure our communities' access to the polls.
On Valentine's Day, Rashad will highlight our work targeting ALEC's corporate enablers as part of a panel titled, "Protecting the Right to Vote and Empowering Voters Through Collaboration." The panel will also feature representatives from The Advancement Project, Center for American Progress, Cost of Freedom Project and NCLR.

If you'll be in DC next month, please join us! And help spread the word.More »
UPDATE: (03/29/12) Mr. Knighten is eligible to have his charges dropped in exchange for 20 hours of community service.
Last month, police and federal agents raided activist Albert Knighten's home and arrested him. His crime? Operating a pirate radio station out of his spare bedroom. Now the retired Navy air traffic controller faces a felony charge for operating the station without a license — a charge that could land him behind bars for five years. It's the latest incident to highlight the need for community control of media, specifically the important role that low-power radio stations can play in communities of color.
It's an issue that's been on ColorOfChange's radar for a while. We were part of the coalition that helped pass the Local Community Radio Act last year, a major piece of legislation that will ensure that people like Knighten are no longer sanctioned for bringing relevant news and information to their neighbors. Unfortunately for him, the bill is just now being implemented. His station was ahead of its time.More »

UPDATE: (01/25/12) CoC Applauds Obama's Decision to Investigate Wall St Banks, Continues to Push for Accountability
Today President Obama received a letter from ColorOfChange and our partners urging the administration to hold Wall Street accountable. The letter states that an investigation is essential to hold the big banks accountable or their role in the housing crisis and to prevent future reckless behavior from the banking and mortgage industries.
We'll be listening for any remarks regarding this and other ColorOfChange campaigns tonight as President Obama gives the State of the Union address. Follow us on twitter @ColorofChange and please share your reactions using #BSOTU as we work to address critical issues that impact all of us.More »

ColorOfChange just launched a new site to help force real accountability for the big banks responsible for the economic crisis. Today, President Obama received more than 360,000 signatures from people all over the country who want his administration to stand with homeowners and investigate the banks responsible for the mortgage crisis. The stakes couldn't be higher for Black America, which has watched its wealth plummet to the lowest its been in 25 years. Our communities have suffered disproportionately from predatory lending practices. If you signed our petition, that's great! Now it's time to engage in some direct action.More »

If Congress passes these online censorship measures, the full potential of that voice is threatened. The story of Black America should be told by those who live it. SOPA and PIPA threaten our ability to tell that story online. Today's protest is one of many actions needed to stop SOPA and PIPA.More »

In an investigation published late last year, ProPublica found that Black people with felony convictions fare significantly worse than their white counterparts in the presidential pardons process.
But things could be shifting in the right direction. In December, President Obama pardoned Eugenia Marie Jennings, an African-American mother and survivor of domestic violence who'd been sentenced to 22 years for selling crack to an undercover officer. And this past Sunday, the Washington Post urged President Obama to reform the pardons process, reminding him that whites were nearly four times more likely than people of color to receive pardons.More »
UPDATE: (01/12/12) Marc Lamont Hill weighs in.
In case you've ever wondered what Newt Gingrich would say at an NAACP conference, wonder no more. While campaigning yesterday in Plymouth, NH, Gingrich remarked," I'm prepared, if the NAACP invites me, I'll go to their convention and talk about why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps."
This just days after GOP hopeful Rick Santorum told a group of Iowans in Sioux Falls that he "doesn't want to make black people's lives better by giving them someone else's money." This much is clear: Race-baiting has taken center stage in the Republican primaries.More »

Republicans across the country have relentlessly pressed for voter ID laws that threaten to disenfranchise millions of voters-- most of them low-income citizens and people of color. Proponents of the discriminatory ID laws claim they're needed to end voter fraud and preserve the integrity of voting-- a phantom threat that has proved more myth than anything. So yesterday, when Iowans participated in the Republican caucus, we were left scratching our heads when they were allowed to vote without an ID and even granted same-day registration.So, why the double standard?

Rashad was smart, unafraid, and interested in helping everyday folks achieve the dignity and an empowered political voice that everyone deserves — exactly the kind of leadership ColorOfChange needs...

Planting the seeds of knowledge in Georgia
Isolda Kitesashvili became a farmer to help her family out of extreme poverty. Isolda used to be a doctor in Kakheti, a wine and fruit region in eastern Georgia. In the 1990s, she and her husband lost their jobs due to state funding cuts.
Isolda did not expect much success with her farming business. Things changed in 2008 when she joined the agriculture centre opened by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kachreti, not far from her home village. Isolda's fruit garden is now a model site where people come to learn about new farming methods.
- Farmers represent over 50 percent of the Georgian workforce.
- The agricultural centres helps farmers improve their farming methods and technologies, and increase their profits.
- Member farms in Kakheti have increased their income by at least 55 percent.
- More than 2,000 farmers now benefit from the centres.
"I spent 30 years being a doctor," said Isolda. "I still miss that part of my life but I see the future in being a successful farmer."
In 2008, UNDP initiated the establishment of the first agricultural centre in the region of Kakheti. The centre was established as a part of the local technical and vocational colleges, and teachers and consultants were selected from college staff to ensure quality instruction.
Consultants from the agriculture centre helped Isolda improve her farming methods, make her fruit garden business more profitable, and open a nursery to grow and sell fruit and blackberry saplings. Isolda discovered that modern-day farmers need computers as much as fertilizers, so she took computer classes. She can now do research about new technologies, as well as paperwork for accounting.
The agricultural centre also advises local farmers on animal husbandry, animal health, field crop production, viti and horticulture, mechanization, and bio farming. The first three years made a difference, and income from the first 183 member farms increased by at least 55 percent.
Farmers represent over 50 percent of the Georgian workforce. Yet, the food and agricultural sector is weak and segmented. Most Georgian farmers do not have access to the knowledge or technical assistance needed to compete in today's world.
However, with a first success in Kakheti, UNDP with funding from the Government of Romania and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has expanded the agriculture centres to other regions in Georgia.
More than 2,000 farmers now benefit from agricultural services in different regions of the country. The centres provide advice on farming and basic business assistance to help farmers with accounting and taxation, legal matters, business plans, and leasing.
Access to these services provides new opportunities to small farmers like Isolda Kitesashvili, and equips them with knowledge and skills they need to bring new life to their villages.
"I hope to receive more help and knowledge from the agricultural centre and to have an even more successful farming business," Isolda said.

Men, Women, Cars, and CrashesIvars PetersonMore than 1 million people were killed in accidents on U.S. roads in the 29-year period from Jan. 1, 1975, through Dec. 31, 2003.The U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System maintains a database that provides detailed information about 1,284,629 of these fatalities. The information comes largely from police officers called to crash scenes.Such an enormous database allows researchers to test a wide variety of specific hypotheses about the causes of traffic fatalities. In the current issue of Chance, traffic safety expert Leonard Evans examines the role of sex differences.Overall, the data show that about 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male. For every age, all the way through the mid-90s, male fatalities outnumber female fatalities by a factor of 3 or more. At age 20, for example, there were 14,325 male and 3,238 female drivers killed while traveling alone during the 29-year period. http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060415/mathtrek.asp

Midland Car Accident Lawyers | Car Accident Attorneys in Midland | Midland Car Wreck Lawyer | Car Accident Law Firms in Midland
Contact a Midland Car Accident Attorney Today
Have you or a family member been involved in a serious car accident? If so, then you may need to speak with an experienced Midland auto accident attorney. Unfortunately, a serious car wreck can lead to a host of expenses, injuries, and legal issues which ultimately threaten your way of life. Seasoned Midland car accident lawyers can help you confront those challenges and deal with them in the most positive manner.
Find A Midland Car Accident Attorney Today. You're Just a Click Away.
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. More than six million auto accidents occur in the United States every year. Of those accidents, 2.9 million people are injured and more than 42,000 people are killed. These accidents may cause personal injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish and physical disfigurement for the victim. Midland car accidents may often cause financial hardship for the victim's family. In tragic instances, Midland car accidents may also lead to wrongful death.
All too often, victims and their families are short-changed by large corporate interests. Larger insurers who represent trucking companies, heavy machinery operators, and even governmental entities responsible for the construction and maintenance of our highways are even tougher to deal with. Experienced Midland car accident attorneys are not intimidated by these large powerful interests. Instead, they fight for victims' rights by taking the large corporate interests to court if necessary. Additionally, Midland car accident lawyers can help you understand some of the most common causes of car collisions in your area.
Contact an experienced Midland, Midland County, Texas, car accident lawyer today to learn about your rights. You may be entitled to compensation or additional protections under the law. Midland Car Accident Attorneys can help you understand the following car accident-related issues:
- Damages associated with a car accident case
- Reckless driving accidents
- Faulty brakes that cause auto accidents
- Careless driving leading to Midland car wrecks
- Defective automobiles that cause car crashes
- DUI and/or DWI drunk driving car accidents
Midland Car Accident Lawyers will "Level the Playing Field"
How can a Midland Car Accident Lawyer Help You?
A car accident attorney primarily performs five functions: (1) they ensure you receive proper medical care, (2) they assist you in assessing property damage and the repair of your car, (3) they negotiate on the client's behalf, (4) they can file lawsuits and defend claims in court, and (5) they advise clients of their rights in the face of uncertainty. A car accident potentially brings all five of these functions to the forefront.
Proper Medical Care: When a car accident occurs, even a fender bender, the body is tossed around in the cab of the car. Medical science has proven the body sustains physical injury even when you are wearing your seatbelt. Often times, immediately after an accident, people do not think they are injured, and, after exchanging information, they go to where they were heading. Not until a couple days later do they begin to experience pain. This pain is usually caused by some trauma to the musculoskeletal system in the human body. These are typically called orthopedic injuries to the back and/or neck. In a more serious accident, the physical injuries are readily apparent. In either case, a Midland car accident lawyer will make sure you go to the proper doctor to get proper medical care.
Car Property Appraisals: In today's dollars, even a fender bender can run into the thousands of dollars in property repair. Car insurance companies are notorious for trying to save as low as $50 on a property damage assessment, because, to them, saving $50 times thousands of accidents results in more profits for their shareholders. Getting every penny for your property damage is one of the goals of your Midland car accident attorney.
Negotiation: All too often, car insurance companies and corporate interests deny covering losses which they know their insured is responsible for; or they try to short-change unsuspecting victims by tricking them into prematurely settling their claims. When you are unrepresented, the insurance company tries these tactics and, unfortunately, in most cases they are successful. Moreover, without a Midland car accident lawyer representing you, the negotiation process is rather one-sided; meaning the insurance adjusters are well schooled in the negotiation process in comparison to an unsuspecting injured victim. With an experienced Midland car accident lawyer on your side, these tactics will not work. By hiring a Midland car accident law firm, victims place a buffer between themselves and the auto insurance company and auto insurance adjuster. Your Midland car accident attorney will be well versed in the art of negotiation and the process changes quickly when your injury attorney sends a letter of representation to the insurance company.
File a Claim: Although your attorney's trial skills are an important asset, most attorneys do not spend the majority of their time in court. In fact, a properly handled case should settle without the need to ever file an actual Midland County lawsuit. However, there are those circumstances where insurance companies simply do not offer sufficient money to cover all your damages. In these circumstances, your Midland injury attorney's ability to successfully litigate a claim is critical. All of the Midland personal injury lawyers on this site are capable of filing a lawsuit and going to trial if necessary.
Advice: In many cases, a victim may have additional rights or more than one course of action available to them. In these circumstances, it is important to have an attorney who you trust. Midland car accident attorneys should provide you with sound advice; always putting you and your family's needs ahead of their own. You should feel confident your Midland County car wreck attorney has the sole purpose of putting you and your family on the road to recovery.
At the accident scene:
Remember, always take care of yourself and other injured victims immediately after the car accident. If you are injured, get to a local Midland County hospital. If someone else is hurt in the accident, make sure you call 911.
Second, never leave the scene of the accident. Your state may have laws making it a violation to leave the scene of an accident when there has been a personal injury or death and may also have a law making it a duty to render aide. Call the police or 911 and, at a serious accident, insist that a police report be created. If the person who has hit you takes off (hit and run), do your best to write down their license plate information and any other identifying information available (make, model, type of car, etc.) but do not give chase or endanger yourself or others.
Third, if there are witnesses in the area, and if you are able, get their names and contact information which will be very helpful.
Fourth, try to document as much as possible including the police "incident report number," badge numbers and officers' names. As your claim proceeds, towing and storage information, police reports, medical bills, receipts evidencing property damage, etc., become very important. Lastly, do not wait to seek legal representation!
After the dust settles...
Whether you need a visit to the hospital, a visit to your home, or an office meeting, all of the Midland personal injury lawyers on this site will, if requested by you to do so, meet and speak with you and your family anywhere and at any time to educate you on your rights. This initial consultation is free and at no charge to you. All lawyers advertising on a DotCO site have agreed to give an initial consultation for free. Simply asking for one of the Midland car accident lawyers to meet with you does not create an obligation on your part to retain them or hire them. It is essential you know your rights and DotCO urges you to speak with an attorney before you make any decisions on how to handle your Midland, Midland County, Texas, car accident claim.
Midland car Accident Lawyers, if they cannot settle your case without litigation, must file a lawsuit in Midland County, Texas. When they do this, they will file the lawsuit in a court that is "proper" to handle this type of personal injury claim. Some of the courts available are the below courts:

Under certain circumstances, your Midland Texas personal injury lawyer may have to choose Federal court to file your lawsuit. Sometimes, your car accident case must be filed in federal court. If Federal court is to be utilized in Midland, it would be filed in the Western District of Texas -- Midland Division. The courthouse is located at:
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas
Federal Building United States Courthouse
200 East Wall Street, Room 107
Midland, TX 79701
Hiring a Midland, TX Car Accident Lawyer
Contingency Fee Contract
Contact a Midland, Texas, car accident attorney promptly. Midland personal injury lawyers usually represent all clients with what is commonly referred to as a "Contingency Fee" agreement. Generally, a contingency fee injury contract means "no fee if no recovery." There is some variance in personal injury contingency fee contracts from state to state and from lawyer to lawyer. Specifically, whether or not the client remains responsible for the expenses associated with an injury claim, regardless of any monies being recovered, may vary depending upon state law. There are usually ethical requirements in each state governing these issues. Basically, the accident lawyer receives a percentage of your recovery when the case settles or is otherwise concluded. The advantages of an injury contingent fee contract cannot be understated. There are lawyers who charge by the hour and, usually, it would be economically impossible for you to pay their hourly rate. A no-fee, no-recovery agreement makes it possible to retain excellent representation without money being paid "up front" by you. Contact an experienced Midland car accident contingency fee lawyer on this site to understand what Texas requires.
Time Restrictions
Your time line for filing a lawsuit, or, in some cases, just making a claim, is definitely governed by a statute. In some instances, if your claim is against the City of Midland, MIdland county, or some governmental unit thereof, or the state of Texas, there are even more specific time constraints. This is one very important reason why you should immediately reach out to Midland car crash lawyers. This time limit is called the "statute of limitations". Moreover, as time goes on, critical evidence may become more difficult or impossible to gather. For example, a witness' memory may begin to fade, documentation and records can potentially be lost, and other critical evidence can begin to spoil or wane away. An aggressive Midland automobile accident attorney will make sure this evidence is preserved.
Obtaining Quality Care and Documenting Your Car Accident Injuries
Your Midland car accident attorney will assist you in getting complete medical care. Debilitating Injuries are expensive, and they often require significant change in the victim's lifestyle. For example, injuries resulting in paralysis require modifications to the home, medical apparatus' (wheelchairs, etc.), and other changes to make living a life with dignity a reality. Here are some of the common injuries people suffer after a car accident injury:
- Broken Bones
- Traumatic Head Injuries (TBI)
- Wrongful Death, or fatality, of a Family Member
- Scarring/Disfigurement
- Burn Injuries
- Back Pain or herniated disks
- Neck Injuries, Muscle Strain or Whiplash
- Mental Anguish and/or Psychological Injuries that occur in head trauma injuries, e.g., recurring nightmares, loss of short term memory, personality changes, irritableness, etc.
- Pain and Suffering
Your Texas automobile accident attorney will make sure that, whatever combination of the above injuries you have suffered, your accident injuries are properly treated by the appropriate physician. In obtaining medical care there are, of course, medical expenses. Soaring medical costs can cripple a family financially. These days, it is not uncommon for a single day in the Hospital ER to cost upwards of $5,000 or more. Your Midland car accident lawyer will have to prove these expenses are the result of the car wreck.
Medical expenses are generally divided into two categories: short-term medical expenses and long-term medical expenses:
Short-term medical expenses are those costs that occur right after and as a result of the car accident. These costs include: ambulance fees, emergency room expenses, and expenses from follow-up care that occur in the immediate few months after the initial injury.
Long-term medical expenses are those reasonable and necessary costs associated with medical treatment of the injury over the course of a year or more. Examples include costs related to corrective surgeries, physical therapy, mental health treatments, drugs, prosthesis changes that occur as a result of the initial injury.
An experienced Midland County car accident attorney will prove all these medical expenses through competent medical testimony or other expert testimony. These expenses often require the use of expert testimony to prove in a court of law.
Representing you for alleged traffic violations
There is a difference between being cited for a traffic ticket violation at the scene of an accident and actually being negligent and proximately causing an accident. At the scene, an officer has to make a split decision on who, if anyone, is to receive a traffic ticket. He or she tries their best, but clearly being issued a ticket does not necessarily mean you were the negligent party. How the ticket is handled can be very important on the success of a later asserted injury claim as well as revocation of your license, or even a discharge of employment. A competent Midland car crash lawyer will know how to advise you on handling any tickets you may have received.
The Road to Recovery After You Experience an Accident in Midland, Texas, Midland County
Contact a Midland car accident lawyer to go over your case. The road to recovery is different for everyone. Your specific injuries will need to be addressed on an individual basis. Do not get stuck with the bill for those medical expenses, property damages, and all other bills resulting from another person's negligence. Find a Midland, Texas, car accident attorney today. The road to recovery is just a click away.

A Creative Review: Louis C.K.
Welcome back to A Creative Review with James Cooper. Today Coop digs into a billboard for Louis C.K.
Wouldn't it be great to be in a position where you could say, 'You know what, I don't need this whole billboard. Let's just use the bottom 20%'? This particular example breaks all the rules for normal outdoor. We are always told six words or less, big striking image and use the real estate.
Photo credit: ADstruc
But Louis C.K. is a guy who breaks the rules. I am a huge proponent of brands (and Mr C.K. is now most definitely a brand) staying true to themselves, no matter what media they are in. Every time you interact with the brand it should feel consistent. Especially these days where there are myriad ways to connect with a brand.
So this slightly unusual billboard - in a way that you can't quite put your finger on - feels spot on. I'm even prepared to forgive the art director for the crime against punctuation and typography where the period after the K and the colon collide.
Colon Collide. That's going to be the name of my new band.
That's all folks! Want to get involved? Send us shots of the best [or worst] outdoor advertising you've seen, and we'll choose one every week. Just email email@example.com.

Comic uncovers his Sussex roots
6:30pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
A comedian has traced his performing roots back to a great-great-grandfather in Chichester who gave up life in the Army to sing in churches.
The Sussex roots of TV funnyman John Bishop are set to be revealed tonight on BBC show Who Do You Think You Are.
The Scouse comedian was helped by West Sussex County Council archivists to trace his family tree back 150 years to uncover the colourful life of Charles Bishop.
The programme, which features scenes filmed in the county's record office in Chichester, traces Charles Bishop's early life.
He enlisted in the British Army as a boy soldier aged 14 in 1838 and rose to become sergeant of his regimental band in just 15 years.
Despite his military success and being just six years away from receiving a pension, Charles chose to leave the Army to pursue his passion for music as a lay vicar, or Cathedral singer, in Chichester Cathedral.
He spent more than ten years living in Chichester as a member of the Cathedral community and also a performer in concerts and events at the Assembly Rooms, which laid the foundations for a musical career that spanned decades and took him across the world.
Historic records
Producers have said that research in Chichester produced a major revelation for the 21st century comedian but readers will have to tune in to find out what was uncovered.
Nichola Court, searchroom archivist at West Sussex's record office, was involved in helping the 46-year-old comedian to find out more about his Sussex family.
She said: "It was an interesting story and John was really keen to find out about his family background. He asked lots of questions about the relative who brought him to Chichester.
"We were only able to do a very narrow bit of research on this particular ancestor but it's a quirky story."
Lionel Barnard, West Sussex County Council deputy leader responsible for the record office, said: "We were delighted to be able to help John Bishop to discover more about his ancestry.
"It sounds like some fascinating discoveries were made and I'm looking forward to seeing how the tale unfolds."

John Bishop is about as funny as being run over by a truck. If I wanted to hear a smug scouser who thinks they are hilariously funny and who rambles on for hours with pointless anecdotes rarely containing any wit or humour whatsoever, I would move to Liverpool where I understand they are in plentiful supply.
What really grates with me though is how a very easily amused BBC manager obviously spotted this berk and thought it wise to give him his own shows, numerous advertising slots and 'celebrity' appearances on every show going. I'm surprised the grinning simpleton hasn't popped up on Breakfast News to tell me the weather yet.
Considering I am forced to pay £12.00 ish monthly to subsidise the huge corporation of the BBC, I would have thought that at least they could spend at least some of it on finding a comedian who actually remembers to include a punchline at the end of a fifteen minute story.

reporters standing outside no 10 and other pointless places just to narrate a news item in the middle of the night or when ever, send a photographer or use a stock film/photo, get rid of all weather forecasters, let the presenter read it. and most of all stop using kilometers and hectares, imperial first its still the law of the land. oh and for good measure remove the license fee, make the leaching over paid, moralless, clueless management and lord patten obsolete & unemployed without a license payers funded bonus. Oh and BBC sussex, stick to sussex Im not intrested in the slightest at traffic problems at the hogs back or newbury bypass or oxford for that matter, accurate local reporting would be helpfull.

CATEGORIES Action, Thrillers, Casting, Warner Brothers, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Fan Rant, Movies, CinematicalWe all want to meet The Losers, especially with the studio who can seemingly do no wrong (aka Warner Bros) financing the whole thing. It has already has a heck of a cast and though it has kicked off filming in Puerto Rico, they've found time to add one more: Jason Patric, who Variety reports is playing the mysterious and villainous Max. Max is the one who turns a bunch of black ops badasses into the Losers who are out for vengeance, and there's no doubt Patric can lend some gravitas to the role.
Unfortunately, Variety and Patric felt the need to sour the sweet news up. The press-shy Patric sat down with with Mike Fleming in order to explain just how an actor of his caliber ends up playing a mere comic book villain. These days, it's apparently neccessary to "slum it" to keep working. Fleming laments the neccessity, noting "You know that geek validation has become a serious thing when actor's actor Jason Patric agrees to play his first real villain role in his first comic book movie."
The horror, the horror! But Patric is willing to play the nerd game if it help him single-handedly save film for the grown-ups: "Let's face it, the geeks have inherited the world, and if you want to be a player in this system, you have to be willing to do some of this. That means exposing myself to Comic-Con and the foreign marketplace, stuff I've resisted in the past. You can't resist it now. But I wouldn't do The Losers if it wasn't interesting to me as an actor. I can use my voice to help a young director further his talent, that is the main goal. If it allows me to make the kind of adult movies that have become endangered, helped by securing a certain rating with these kids."
Look, I'm not going to sit here and herald comic book adaptations as high art. I've agreed with the mainstream consensus that the mad rush on comic book shops can be pretty damn annoying. Just because it has colorful panels and a man or woman with superpowers doesn't mean it should be adapted. Audiences want good, meaty stories no matter if they're drawn from original screenplays, popular novels, or comic books. Fads are annoying no matter what they're focused on.
But the attitude of Fleming and Patric is not only an insulting one, but suggests that they are proudly ignorant of what comic book adaptations have become. I don't remember Tom Hanks or Viggo Mortensen sneering at the graphic novel origins of Road to Perdition or A History of Violence. Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Edward Norton, Sam Rockwell, Billy Crudup, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich and Josh Brolin are wonderful, well-respected actors (any one of them an "actor's actor") and not a single one of them shied away from jumping into the world of Marvel or DC. It's gone beyond "geek validation" into critical. Didn't one of the men on that list win a posthumous Oscar last year for playing the Joker? Or was that just a sign of the End Times?
A lot of comic book movies are silly, escapist entertainment. But Watchmen, The Dark Knight, V for Vendetta, Sin City and even Iron Man or 300 have proved what the genre is capable of. There are plenty of books in pre-production just waiting to kick down all the remaining boundaries. To dismiss it all as "kid's stuff" and a neccessary evil is an insult to the directors, actors, and writers who have worked very hard to create stories and worlds that aren't disposable, that mean something, and that are entertaining as well as thought-provoking. When it comes to doing cinema favors, I think the world could use another ten Spider-Man movies before it could have ever used Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Sound Projects will introduce her revolutionary line-array concept LineX at the coming Frankfurter ProLight & Sound show. LineX is the sublimation of the Sigma series symmetrical true line-arrays.
LineX packs an 8 driver, horn loaded design into a remarkably compact and light cabinet. The LineX' 3-way configuration provides highest full-range output to size ratio physically possible (as long as you include immaculate sound quality of course). Use of specialized carbon-fibre composites together with calculated bracing and other clever inner reinforcement structures, results in higher stiffness and yet a 30% lighter enclosure than a conventional wooden constructed cabinet. Furthermore no less than 12 handles could be integrated within the compact housing improving the handling of the system extremely.
In search of the best line-array physically possible, SOUND PROJECTS had already developed the patented HF Wave-shape-transformer™. This device resulted in the for line-array desired 90 degree horizontal dispersion, combined with tight, close to zero degrees, vertical dispersion.
Senior designer Frank Zaayer quotes: "If we wanted to go for perfection, the same quality of symmetrical, horizontal dispersion should be delivered by the complementing mid and low frequency drivers. One of the most difficult to obtain (yet neglected) performance criteria in a vertically configured stack of loudspeaker systems is stable horizontal imaging."
Several combinations of drivers, in just as many different cabinet shapes were developed and thoroughly tested. In order to obtain even horizontal coverage on both sides of the array, SOUND PROJECTS chose for a symmetrical design of driver positioning. In the mid section 4 specially developed 6,5 inch drivers with a neodymium magnet structure and a stiff, light cone are applied, loaded by diffraction slots. Placed above each other these slots create a seamless vertical ribbon of sound and hence all the line array criteria are met. Due to the small width of the slots, uninterrupted and symmetrical horizontal coverage is achieved.
The two long excursion 12 inch woofers were selected for powerful bass performance and are mounted "side-firing" to enhance the extreme compactness of the system.
The design team imposed several other strict demands to the cabinet, mainly related to ease of use, transport and rigging facilities.
The intuitive and convenient integrated heavy duty aluminium-alloy hardware provides up to 24 LineX cabinets to be flown, with a 10/1 safety factor.
Sound Projects will be at Frankfurt in Hall 8, booth G31.
Located in Hilversum, The Netherlands Sound Projects is a leading manufacturer of active soundreinforcement systems. The company was founded in 1986 and distributes her products world wide through independent representatives and importers.

A Question of Trust
The age-old question of what holds our societies together re-emerges periodically, particularly in times of crisis. In a world ever more globalised and virtual, the answer is often cast in terms of "trust", with its pivotal role as regularly called upon as its health called into question. How has trust risen to this centrality, and is it all as straightforward as it seems?

This camera will be a 6D minus the FF sensor. It will not have dual SD card slots, it will have a 9pt af (1 cross type) and will not have weather sealing like the 7D and Nikon D7100 (though it will be partially metal like the 6D with some sealing).
I very much doubt they will stick a worse af system in the 70D than in the rebel line up. During the 40D and 50D eras they segmented by using the af system as one differentiator after all so to me it'd make most sense to put the 7D af system in there. Especially as the R&D cost will already have happened and production going well.
Why not - if rumors are true - the "thing" would cost $1,2k. In order to separate it from 7D2 they would do so. Otherwise 70D would suffer cannibalization from its big brother.
I give it 11 or even 19 af points at most. But for sure 1 SD slot. For sure for this money no weather sealing

Graduate Students : Executive : EMBA Financial Aid Guidelines
This page contains summer 2014 financial aid instructions and information for Executive MBA students.
Financial Aid
When to Apply for Financial Aid
You may apply for financial aid once a year for each academic year (September to August). Financial aid disbursements are made twice a year, usually around mid-January and mid-August. EMBA student tuition fees are automatically deducted from your financial aid disbursement. Any remaining amount will be refunded to the mailing address we have on file for you.
For questions, please contact Barbara Hubler at firstname.lastname@example.com
General Inquiries
For general inquiries regarding financial aid, please contact:
Financial Aid Office
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
phone: (415) 338-7000
Federal Student Loans
Financial aid in the form of federal student loans is available to qualified admitted EMBA students.
Types of Federal Student Loans
- Federal Direct Unsubsidized student loan – maximum $20,500 per year
- Federal Graduate PLUS loan – maximum award = student's cost of attendance – federal direct unsubsidized loan
Application Process for Federal Student Loans
Follow the steps to complete the FAFSA.
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- List "SF State" to receive the results.
- Once you receive confirmation from the Federal Processor that your application has been processed and sent to SF State, you must contact Barbara Hubler (email@example.com), director of the financial aid office. The general University system does not recognize CEL, so Barbara must manually process financial aid for EMBA students.
Private Student Loans (non need-based)
EMBA students who do not wish to complete the FAFSA for federal student loan consideration may want to consider an alternative loan, such as P.L.A.T.O.
Students provide verification of enrollment to the lender, and the University is not involved either in certifying the loan application or disbursing the funds. Students receive funds directly from the lender.
Please call 1-800-GO-PLATO for more information.
Using private lenders is very simple and very similar to FAFSA except for one detail:
None of the private lenders forgive interest payments while the student is in school. However, most lenders will defer interest payments until graduation.
Application Process for Private Student Loans
- Inform Jeff Chun that you are seeking financial aid. He can be reached at the MBA office at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Contact the lender of your choice and arrange for a loan
- Once you've been approved for your private loan, Keina Sanchez will certify your loan electronically (see Keina's contact information below)

If you have secured a loan that will not cover your entire tuition payment, please be prepared to pay the remaining amount by June 26, 2014, to avoid late fees.
All necessary steps for your financial aid package must be completed by April 22, 2014. Financial Aid recipients should continue to follow up with the Financial Aid office to remain up-to-date on their status and disbursement and to ensure that their application is complete with no disbursement holds.
If you do not complete all the steps in the Financial Aid process, or if your disbursement does not cover the full amount of your tuition, you run the risk of being dropped from your courses.
To avoid this, please use the information provided by the university to monitor your records:
- Log-in to the SF State Gateway at https://gateway.sfsu.edu/

- Under Students
- Click on Financial/Jobs then view your financial aid award status.
For the current schedule, log in to your MySFSU page at www.sfsu.edu/student.
The financial aid counselor is Barbara Hubler, (415) 338-2611 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please be aware that the summer semester may have a different procedure for requesting financial aid than other semesters.
Special note: If for any reason there is a change in financial aid eligibility status and your financial aid is not approved, you will need to complete whatever steps are required to regain your deferment before you can be registered. If April 22, 2014, has passed, there will be a $25 late add fee per course.
If your disbursement is going to be later than normal, please understand that we will not be able to register you for courses until your financial aid application is complete. After April 22, 2014, a late add fee of $25 per course is always charged.
Students are responsible for following all policies and deadlines. It is important to review your schedule for accuracy before the add/drop deadline.
It is the student's responsibility to adhere to the EMBA semester deadlines. Please note that these deadlines may be different than those used by the University or the College of Extended Learning.

UPSET: Baseball shocks #4 Florida, 11-2
Related Links
With talk of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament on the minds of most people in Green and Gold, the Dolphins made a major statement with one week left in the 2011 regular season as the JU baseball team defeated No. 4 Florida, 11-2, Tuesday evening at McKethan Stadium.
JU (33-18), which ran its record to 2-6 against ranked opponents in 2011, earned its first win over UF (39-14) on the road since a 6-5 decision on March 6, 2007. The Dolphins' last win over the Gators was a 8-5 win at John Sessions Stadium on March 26, 2008.
With the win, JU handed UF its worst home loss this season and its second worst margin of defeat in 2011 (a 14-1 decision at No. 2 Vanderbilt on May 14).
"We're coming together at the right time," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "The final week of the regular season is upon us and we are getting healthy, our pitching staff is rounding itself out and our defense improved. When we get all those going with our offense, we are in good shape."
Senior Matthew Tomshaw (7-3), who ran his record to 4-0 on the road in 2011, got the win after allowing only two runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in six innings of work. Freshman Adam Maxon, senior Chris Kaminski and freshman Chris Anderson each added an inning of shutout relief to finish off the game.
Alex Panteliodis (4-2) was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs on four hits with two walk and three strikeouts in 2.2 innings.
Sophomore center fielder Dan Gulbransen went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI while junior shortstop Jimmy Howick and freshman second baseman Taylor Ratliff each finished with multiple hits. Senior right fielder Esterlin Perozo added a three-run homer while sophomore first baseman Adam Brett Walker and junior third baseman Kevin Lehane each tallied two-run doubles.
Josh Adams led the Gators by going 2-for-4 while Mike Zunino hit a two-run homer in the first inning.
JU took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first when Lehane hit a two-run double down the left field line and Howick hit an RBI single through the left side.
The Gators cut the deficit to 3-2 in the bottom of the first when Zunino hit a two-run shot over the left center wall.
The Dolphins made it 4-2 in the third when Gulbransen hit a solo shot off the scoreboard in right field.
JU increased the margin to 6-2 in the fourth when junior left fielder Jonathan Murphy hit an RBI triple to left center and Gulbransen knocked an RBI single back up the middle.
The Dolphins made it 9-2 in the fifth when Perozo hit a three-run shot to left center.
JU made it 11-2 in the top of the eighth when Walker hit a two-run double to left center.
The Dolphins will next travel to Kennesaw State to close out the 2011 regular season beginning on Thursday at 6 p.m. The contest can followed through live stats by logging onto JUDolphins.com.
