Lovely package. We'll be in Alaska in a few weeks and I plan on checking out that cookbook. WAIT!! Gellchom, are you in Alaska? Maybe we can have a CF get together? We're cruising the inner passage so will be in all the big towns. Love the napkins and rings too. They look Mexican inspired. And the bowl. LOVE it. What a lovely story with the packaging - all so meaningful. |
The watermelon bowl is very nice and I like how well the napkins go with it. Be sure to try making sourdough pancakes from that cookbook. They have a unique flavor all their own...and no cheating on the syrup, it must be pure maple. I brought home an Alaskan cookbook years ago and still use it. Nice swap box!!!!!!! Nancy |
Well done Gellchom. What a beautiful package you put together for Coconut. And no cheating either. I especially love your colour scheme. As Loves2cook mentioned it really does have a Mexican feel. I'm sure there are some amazing recipes in that cookbook. Coconut, can't wait to see what recipes you try first. Ann |

Yes, I do love everything. Don't worry Nancy, it's pretty easy to get real maple syrup around here and I always have one or two bottles. It's a fairly common Xmas gift and I tend to receive my fair share. Rarely have to buy it, come to think of it. Now I just need to get some starter going. I have some I never did start. Did I mention there is a recipe for crab cakes with pesto? They're calling me too. We had corn tonight for supper and my beautiful new napkins got a good workout. So soft on buttery lips...lol. Loves2, she's not still there. It was a trip. Hmmm. do we know anyone in Alaska? Hmmm... |

Those napkins and napkin rings are gorgeous! The colors are very rich. I love the watermelon bowl, from what I can see of it. Can you post more pictures of it? I also love Alaskan food; i.e. salmon and king crab - two of my most very favorites! I'm always happy when salmon is in season, which is now, and so this package fits in perfectly with the theme. I love children's art as well and collect folk tales from different cultures. That drawing looks like it could be Polish or Russian, perhaps. I'm intrigued by what appear to be octopi flying in the sky! Lars |
I agree, Lars, I love the colors in those napkins. As for the cookbook, what could be bad about salmon or crab or any other Alaskan seafood for that matter, yummy. Very nice box, Gellchom, and the drawing was the crowning piece, I think. Annie |
I know those Alona Frankel books and they are well worn around my house from years ago. I didn't know she was a Holocaust survivor, I have a bunch of cards from that museum and this one isn't included. What a treasure. The rest of the items are PERFECT. Nice package and it looks like everything will be used and enjoyed! |
I love learning abour Alona Frankel, so thank you both for sharing. This is a BEAUTIFUL swap box! The napkins/napkin rings are so bright and fun! And can I borrow your watermelon bowl tonight? I'm making a fruit salad and it would look so pretty in it! LOL... Enjoy Coconut! I'm sure you will!! |
What a wonderful and touching story about the card. And the napkins and rings are great - I love the colors. More pics of the watermelon bowl please - it looks perfect for fruit salad in the summer And you will have to share a recipe from the cookbook. I have very fond memories of our trip through the inside passage :-) Nicely done! Alexa |

Yes, I do love everything and that bowl is very cute. I'll take more pics of it this evening. Just finished 'riding' the grass, now I have to nap. LOL. The bowl is for serving dry items since it seems to be made of papier-mache. I'll post recipes from the book too. Maybe I'll scan one of the recipes so you can see the beautiful pictures they use as the background. |
Oh, I'm so glad you like it! Yes, I'd stick to dry items for the bowl. It didn't seem terribly practical, but it's so cute, I really wanted you to have it. And it fairly screams "Summer!" Enjoy! |
The whole package is so bright and cheery! Summer for sure. You'll have to post what you make from the cookbook, it looks great from the outside! The watermelon bowl would be full of tortilla chips here! Good job gellchom. Deanna |
Gellchom! What a beautiful package for coconut! I'm loving everthing in the package. I really enjoy children's art, folk art, and anything that has a meaning behind it. This is a beautiful card that you will be able to remember Gellchom for many years. I love that! Nice package! Enjoy! |
I sure never anticipated the response that little card would get. I will have to tell Thing Two about it; she is studying for a career in Holocaust education, and this summer she's at Yad VaShem (the Holocaust memorial and museum in Jerusalem) working on developing curricula for English-speaking countries. I'll have to tell her what an impact the Frankel story had. Coconut, I knew you liked cloth napkins from one of your posts. I had a lot of fun choosing the right ones for you; there were so many pretty choices. I considered getting non-matching rings, which is what we use so that we can keep using the same napkin for a few meals, but these went so well with the napkins I just couldn't. |

A great swapbox, Gellchom! Love those bright napkins especially! Enjoy, coconut-nj! Teresa |
- Posted by coconut-nj (My Page) on Tue, Jun 21, 11 at 12:44
Coconut, my condolences to you and Christy. Thanks for taking more pictures of your watermelon bowl. Very nice. Ann |
I'm so sorry about Christy's mom. My sympathies to the whole family. I wish I could bring you soup. |
- Posted by coconut-nj (My Page) on Tue, Jun 21, 11 at 20:44
Thanks Ann and Susan. Soup is always my favorite! I meant to tell Lars that yes indeed Alona Frankel is Polish born. Good eye, which is no surprise. |
It occurs to me that in the spring Thing Two was working on a different project that would interest you. She was working on summarizing and indexing an archive of interviews of Holocaust "hidden children" -- the Hebrew Univ. professor in charge has asked her to bring a box of the transcripts back with her and continue when she is back at Boston Univ. this fall. There is a really interesting story behind this archive, which sat untouched for years until this professor learned of it and bought it. The original research had been psychological, but when they realized that the subjects were all suffering from PTSD, they abandoned the research and turned to treatment instead. So the interview transcripts were forgotten after the original researcher died, but fortunately not destroyed. I wonder if Alona Frankel was one of the interviewees. The interviews were very carefully kept anonymous, though, so I'm not sure that Thing Two would be able to tell, at least not without some special permission to look at the names that correlate to the numbers, if such a list even exists. |
That is an amazing swap package. I especially love those napkins and rings since I am a napkin ring collector extraordinaire, LOL. What an enjoyable summer you will spend with your new goodies. Have fun cooking up recipes with that great cookbook. Sherry |
- Posted by coconut-nj (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 11 at 17:40
I thought I posted to this the other day. Hmm.. Gellchom, it certainly would be so interesting to read those interviews. I can only imagine. I'm sure they did all have PTSD. How could they not? The ways that children in particular dealt with their confinements has always interested me. Such long standing terror for those so young, and yet the ways they coped. Thanks Sherry, I certainly am enjoying everything and those napkins are getting a good workout. Smiles. |
I'm sorry I'm late to comment! Your package is wonderful! Love hand-mades so the napkins and the watermelon bowl really appeal to me. Your future DIL's research is intriguing. Wonderful to get this information into the light of day and give it some attention. Those children went through a terrible ordeal, and it would be interesting now to see how they coped. |
Thing Two isn't my FDIL, she's my daughter (I know, it's confusing). Some other time I'll tell you about Future Mrs. Thing One's research for her PhD in public health -- also fascinating. I am very proud of her, too. And of course I'm proud of Thing One, baseball broadcaster. I'm a very, very lucky mom! |

Wonderful package! I just love that bowl and it screams Summer! Great package, Gellchom Lisa |
I'm so sorry to read about Christy's Mama, even if it seems right and what she wanted, it must be hard to realize she's gone; sending hugs and peaceful thoughts to both of you. Your package is summer from start to finish. I love all the bright colors. The cookbook sounds as though there are a lot of interesting recipes. We've had great Alaskan salmon here this year - I can only imagine how much better it must be in Alaska. I'd love to know more about the salmon cioppino. The strength and resilience of children is amazing. Such a fanciful, colorful drawing done by someone living under such frightening circustances. It does look Russian, but it doesn't surprise me to hear that she is Polish because the borders of Russia and Poland have changed so much over time. Can't wait to hear and see more about your gifts as you use them. Sue, I think you picked wonderful things for Coconut. |
Johnny Cash ruined the nickname "Sue" for me many years ago. |
That bowl is great, as are the napkins. I will forewarn my partner that my box, as usual, will NOT be color coordinated, lol. Now you have to get some Alaska salmon. mmmmmmm..... |

5 Fascinating Facts We Learned on IDEA FitFeed This Week
Week: 6/29/13 to 7/5/13
Can avatars help people lose weight? Does being active increase your happiness level? Are night owls more susceptible to weight gain? You can find the answers to these questions and other recent news items by following IDEA FitFeed. This indispensable tool is a great way for fitness professionals to stay up to date on the latest health and fitness news being shared around the web. If you are just tuning in, you can find the top five facts from last week's feed here:1. Late Bedtimes Are Linked to Weight Gain
"Night owls are more likely to gain weight than people who get good sleep because they tend to graze the kitchen for junk food in the wee hours of the morning," says a recent article from WebMD. The study found that people who stay up late at night are prone to eating more calorie-dense foods because of hormonal changes caused by sleep deprivation. The article suggests that people trying to control their weight should strive to get adequate sleep or, when not possible, to be conscious of their cravings and food intake.

2. Working Out Multiple Times a Day Can Have Advantages
This article from Greatist looks at the advantages of working out multiple times a day and whether it is beneficial. Author Nicole McDermott writes that, for most people, multiple workouts in a day are fine, as long as people don't over train; however, they may not be right for everyone. "The reality is that our bodies are generally more responsive to the intensity of exercise rather than just how long we're pounding the pavement or swinging a kettlebell," she said. View the full article here.
3. Leading an Active Life is Important for Happiness
This story from BBC News suggests that we can make ourselves happier by making changes to our lifestyle, including becoming more active. "In order to lead a happy life, a rewarding life, you need to be active," says Ruut Veenhoven, director of the world database of happiness, in the article. The piece also looks at the many factors that affect happiness and how different life events can change one's happiness levels. View the full article here.

4. Avatars Can Help with Weight Loss
"Virtual reality could be a promising new tool for building healthier habit," says this HealthDay article. The article summarizes a recent study which found that women who watched an avatar exercise and learn healthy habits in a virtual community were successful at losing weight. "We are excited by the potential of this technology as a scalable tool to help people learn the skills to be successful at weight loss over the long run," says Melissa Napolitano, an associate professor of prevention and community health at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, in a university news release. View the full article here.
5. Yoga Classes Are Not the Same as Religious Instruction
Yoga classes will continue to be a part of the physical education program in the Encinitas Union School District thanks to a San Diego County Superior Court judge who ruled that the classes are not the same as religious instruction. This article from the Los Angeles Times reviews the case and the thinking behind the judge's decision. Author Robin Abcarian supports the judge's decision, writing that "yoga, as it's often practiced in this country, has long since shed its religion in favor of a watered-down Eastern vibe that sometimes has a cartoonish aspect."

MWL: Kernels hold Cougars to two hits, fall in finale
GENEVA, Ill. -- The Kernels held the Kane County Cougars to just two hits on Monday night, but they ultimately lost 2-1 in the series finale. The Kernels finished with three hits as neither team recorded a hit over the games final four innings. The Kernels offense matched a season-high with 14 strikeouts in the game. Kane County finished with three errors, one more than their hit total.
Kohl Stewart (1-3) took the tough-luck loss as allowed the two hits in six innings of work. He allowed two runs but one was unearned while striking out two and walking two. Stewart retired the final eight batters he faced. Jared Wilson retired all six he faced in relief, while striking out one, as the duo combined to retire the final 14 Cougars on the evening.
Cedar Rapids-native and current Chicago Cubs outfielder Ryan Sweeney made a rehab start for the Cougars. He started in right field and batted second in the order. Sweeney made three plate appearances before exiting, finishing 0-for-2 with a walk. He drew a base on balls in his first appearance, lined out hard to second baseman Ryan Walker, and grounded to fellow Cedar Rapids-native and first baseman Chad Christensen.
The Kernels (28-36) scored a run in the top of the first inning for the second consecutive game, taking a 1-0 lead. Walker led off the game by singling into right field. He stole second base and advanced to third base on Engelb Vielmas groundout. Walker came home on Christensens RBI groundout to first base.
Kane County (43-21) took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning while recording only one hit. Jordan Hankins drew a one-out walk and came home on a RBI double that hit off the right-field wall by Jacob Rogers. Rogers advanced to third on a fielding error by Jonathan Murphy, and he came home on a RBI sacrifice fly that was credited to Daniel Lockhart after being robbed on a diving catch by Jason Kanzler in left-center. The Cougars only other hit came by Lockhart in the second inning when he singled with two outs.
In addition to Kanzlers diving catch in center, Engelb Vielma made a pair of diving stops on consecutive pitches in the sixth inning. With both, Vielma dove to his left and robbed a Cougars hitter of a base hit by throwing to first base.
The Kernels had scoring chances throughout the game but were unable to plate a second run. Murphy doubled with one away in the third inning but was left at third base to end the frame. Mitch Garver walked with one out in the fourth inning but didnt advance. The base on balls extended Garvers consecutive on-base streak to 19 games. Joel Licon singled to lead off the fifth inning but was left at second base. Christensen drew a walk in the sixth and stole second base but a hard line out and ground out ended the threat.
Tanner Vavra was able to get into scoring position in both the seventh and ninth innings, but the Kernels couldnt find the big hit to get him in. Vavra reached on an error both times, getting all the way to third base with only one out in the seventh stanza and making it to second base in the final inning with two outs.
The final hit for the Kernels came in the fifth inning with Licons single.
Kane County used four pitchers to complete the game and allow the three total hits. Jen-Ho Tseng was activated off of the disabled list and made his first start since early May, going three innings in a no-decision. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out three and walking none. Michael Heesch (1-0) collected the win in 2 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out four and walking two. James Pugliese struck out five with no hits or walks over 2 2/3 innings. Tyler Bremer notched his seventh save, going the final innings, allowing no hits or runs while punching out two.
The Kernels return home on Tuesday to take on the Quad Cities River Bandits at 6:35 p.m. Its Twins Tuesday, sponsored by Great Clips. Get an online coupon from the Kernels Facebook page or email newsletter for a 2-for-1 ticket offer.

Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, Kansas
Big 12 play has sent Kansas and Baylor in entirely different directions.
The No. 8 Jayhawks have won four straight and look to continue rolling while improving to 12-0 against the struggling 24th-ranked Bears in Lawrence on Monday night.Kansas (13-4, 4-0) is the only unbeaten team in the league with its last three wins coming against ranked opponents."Definitely, I feel like we're sending a message," guard Naadir Tharpe said. "Even though we have a lot of young guys on the team, we're here to play. We're here to defend our title. I feel like we have a great chance of doing it."Baylor (13-4, 1-3) has dropped consecutive games for the first time this season and finds itself as one of two teams in the league with one conference win or less. Coach Scott Drew expects things to even out."I think any team who loses no matter what you say, they are affected. You can say we're going to come out and they'll be (ticked) off," Drew said. "It's just basketball. There's parity. When you are winning, you've got swag and things are going better. When you are losing, you just can't second-guess yourself."The Jayhawks have won back-to-back games against top-10 opponents, defeating then-No. 9 Oklahoma State 80-78 at home Saturday. Kansas jumped seven spots in this week's Top 25.Tharpe had 21 points and shot 7 of 8 to lead the way as top scorers Andrew Wiggins (15.1 ppg) and Perry Ellis (12.9) were held to a combined nine.Tharpe, a junior starting alongside four underclassmen, has had the two highest totals of his career in back-to-back games after scoring a career-high 23 Monday at Iowa State."Sometimes you scratch your head with some of the decisions he makes," coach Bill Self said. "But he played extremely well, and of course he made some big shots."The enigmatic guard has gone 14 of 17 from the floor in his last two games.Freshman center Joel Embiid has matched that efficiency. He had 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks against Oklahoma State and is 12 of 14 from the field in his last two.The Jayhawks are shooting 53.8 percent in conference play while holding opponents to 39.3 percent.Baylor's problems continued in a 66-64 home loss to No. 25 Oklahoma on Saturday. The Bears are shooting 41.9 percent in Big 12 play and yielding a mark of 48.2, a reversal of their 50.4 field-goal percentage and 38.8 allowed during a 12-1 non-conference start.Guard Kenny Chery had a team-high 16 points against the Sooners. He's averaging 19.0 in his last two games after scoring a career-best 22 in an 82-72 loss at Texas Tech on Wednesday.The Bears, who plummeted 12 spots in the poll this week, now shift their attention to winning at Kansas for the first time."It shouldn't be tough to refocus," forward Cory Jefferson said. "It doesn't matter who we're playing. If you're us, and like you said we haven't had a lot of success, it shouldn't mean anything. We can go up there and change that with the way we go out and play. If it's Kansas, it doesn't mean anything either. They know they've got to come out and play just as ready as we do."Jefferson, who leads the team with 13.1 points per game, has struggled some in conference play, averaging 9.3 points on 38.7 percent shooting.Baylor and Kansas split the 2012-13 season series. Jefferson scored 25 in the most recent meeting, leading the Bears to an 81-58 win March 9.SPONSORED HEADLINES

OAKLAND -- After watching Dan Straily dominate the World Series champion Giants for six innings of the A's 4-1 victory Monday, it would be difficult to make any connection with the Dan Straily who couldn't make it out of the fifth inning two starts ago against Texas.
Unless you are Derek Norris, that is. The A's catcher had a heart-to-heart talk with Straily after that May 15 start against the Rangers that can be summed up in four words: "Pound the strike zone."
"When he's passive out there, he gets hit. When he's aggressive, he doesn't get hit," Norris said after Straily allowed four hits and one run to the Giants before the bullpen finished off the A's fourth consecutive victory. "He was shagging in the outfield after that game and we got to talking about that. I told him he has to be aggressive. What you saw today, this is the Dan Straily we all heard about."
Since the chat with Norris, Straily has attacked the strike zone with feverish aplomb. He has allowed six hits in 13 innings against the Rangers in a rematch last week and the Giants on Memorial Day. He put down two of the best teams in the majors with ease.
On Monday he struck out just one, but for all the contact the Giants' hitters made, they couldn't get a good swing. Buoyed by a fourth-inning two-run home run from Josh Donaldson, Straily retired 14 of the first 15 hitters he faced and gave up a run when the only walk he issued came around to score in the sixth.
"The talk with Dino helped," Straily said. "The (first) Texas game was probably my worst. After that, it was like, 'enough is enough.' "
As was the case in the last two months of last season, Straily is stepping up at a time when the A's need him. Opening day starter Brett Anderson (right foot) is on the disabled list, and after that first Texas game, Straily was riding a four-game stretch in which his ERA was 8.84. The turnaround has been dramatic, and it has been part of a stretch in which the A's have gone from losing eight of 10 to winning nine of 10.
Straily didn't do it alone, of course. Donaldson stunned the Giants' Madison Bumgarner, who had been working on a no-hitter, with a home run for the A's first hit, a two-run shot thanks to one of five Bumgarner walks. All three outfielders contributed nice catches, and left fielder Yoenis Cespedes chipped in with a two-run double off reliever George Kontos in the seventh to open up the game.
"That's what we do when we play well, play good defense and get big hits," Straily said. "That's the formula."
The formula has the A's six games over .500 at 29-23 and 31/2 games behind the first-place Rangers. On Memorial Day a year ago, the A's were six games into a season-worst nine-game losing streak and were nine games out of first place en route to an eventual June 30 deficit of 13 games.
The A's rallied to take down the Rangers in the final two months of 2012, but this 2013 crop doesn't seem willing to let the Rangers take easy command of the American League West.

Finding Bella: A plunny I've had for a long time - almost six months now, I think - and I finally got around to writing it.
Underworld: Not sure if this has been validated yet or not when I put this up, but never mind! It's my next big story - much darker, much more serious ('seriouser' isn't a word... right?) and it will probably be long. Really long.
My two one-shots, His Game and When Perseus Met Andromeda, were both written for challenges posted here on the forums. Amazingly, they placed first and second respectively in their... er, respective challenges. I still beam whenever I think about it.
Well, that's it! Ask away at will!

I saw that you just started an MTA thread, and having just read one of your stories, I thought that I would be the first person to ask you some questions.
1) What is you favourite era to write about?
2) What's your favourite ship to write about?
3) What inspires you the most when it comes to your writing?
4) Have you seen the movie '10 Things I Hate About You'? It's one of my favourite chick flicks of all times
5) And for something completely different, what is you favourite ice cream flavour?
Also congratulations on placing in both of those challenges
My Stories (12+ to M) My Author's Page
Posted 22 August 2011 - 08:52 PM
1) What is your favourite era to write about?
I don't really have a favourite era to write about, to be honest, seeing as I love writing about the Marauders era, the first war era and before that and the next gen era equally. I absolutely hate writing anything about the Hogwarts era because it seems to me that pretty much everything we needed to know about that has been said by JK in the books - although I have read some brilliant stories set then.
2) What's your favourite ship to write about?
Honestly, it's Bellatrix/Rodolphus. For me it's a good combination of things we know (i.e. Bellatrix and some minor details about them) and a whole load of stuff we don't (i.e. the rest of it XD) so it's really fun to mess around with and play with. Plus, the whole pureblood society thing really interests me. I won't try and find a canon pairing because if I do I'll still be here in four hours time trying to work it out. There's just too many!
3) What inspires you the most when it comes to your writing?
I mostly get the ideas from reading completely unrelated stories to Harry Potter, watching films which again have nothing to do with Harry Potter at all (Sweeney Todd inspired a lot of the thoughts behind Underworld, although they mutated from the original idea). With writing, it's music. The song has to be right for the mood and feel of the bit I'm writing, but I find it helps me a lot.
4) Have you seen the movie '10 Things I Hate About You'? It's one of my favourite chick flicks of all times.
Actually, I haven't. I pretty much entered the challenge because I was looking for one, read the entire (at the time) thread all the way through, decided I liked the quotes and entered. It's one of those things people are always mentioning though, and I feel I should probably watch it some time. Maybe eventually.
5) And for something completely different, what is your favourite ice cream flavour?
Definitely chocolate. Haagen-Daas had a brilliant ice cream I found on holiday in Greece one year which was Double Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream, with real chocolate brownie pieces in it. It was absolutely gorgeous. I had it for lunch every day.
Thanks! I really didn't expect either of them at all - especially not the second one. I was so worried about that piece.

Hope that made it feel less lonely
My Stories (12+ to M) Unforgiven (M)
Posted 28 August 2011 - 08:41 PM
Onto the questions!
1. If you had to compete in one task from the Triwizard Tournament which task would you choose?
Hm... the second one, probably. I love swimming and I'm pretty good at it, whereas I don't think I'd do well with the maze and the idea of facing a dragon terrifies me. I could probably just about manage the second one. Just about.
2. What position, if any, would you like to play in Quidditch?
Beater. Mostly because I quite like sports which involved hitting things with some kind of bat (rounders, cricket, etc. XD) but also because it seems to be the one which involves the least flying. Being scared of heights, it would probably be best for all involved.
3. What house do you think the Sorting Hat would have placed you in?
I honestly have no idea. I'm a Slytherin on another site and I'm a Ravenclaw here. It would probably be one of those two, to be honest, seeing as I'm really not very brave and I'm the laziest person I know, so that rules the others out.
4. Beauxbatons or Hogwarts?
Ooh, good question. On balance, probably Beauxbatons simply because we don't hear that much about it in the books and I'm insanely curious about how it would work - not to mention I love France, French and French people, so I can imagine I'd quite like it there. Hogwarts would be equally as amazing, though, so it's tough.
5. Favourite ships?
Bellatrix/Rodolphus is pretty much my OTP. I love them to pieces and literally search the entire archives for stories about them. Apart from them, I adore Ron/Hermione - they're just perfect for each other, really - and Rose/Scorpius has recently become a favourite, despite my hatred of all things cliché and Romeo-and-Juliet-y.
6. If you could date any character who would you pick? Which actor?
I'm going to confess that after the sixth film, I found Tom Riddle strangely attractive to the point that I sigh and swoon a little inside every time he comes on screen. It's really awful. In terms of actors, Rupert Grint is adorable, cute, funny... and has an ice-cream van. What more could you want?

1. Why do you like to write?
2. Are you going to post your NaNo novel? -is very intrigued-

comet@tda is amazing <3
Posted 18 December 2011 - 06:49 PM
1. Why do you like to write?
Mostly because I enjoy it, to be honest. It's fun, it's simple enough to do and I can do it everywhere. On the train, on the plane, at my desk, in front of the tv... wherever.
2. Are you going to post your NaNo novel?
Yep. I just have to edit the stuff I wrote in November and change a few bits of it, because I was silly and didn't realise that you can't write in second person pov with an OC when I started it, but that shouldn't take too long. It'll probably be up sometime in the New Year, I think. I'm not really sure.
3. Favorite HP book?
Oh dear. Erm... I think number four, to be honest, because everything that's going on is kept so perfectly under wraps until the end when it all comes out in Crouch/Moody's office. It's the kind of thing I wish I could do, you know - drop hints throughout and confuse the reader, before showing them everything at the end and make them go 'oh, right, that explains it!'.
4. How did you come up with the idea of Caradoc?
I read a story on the archives about Dorcas Meadowes (I can't remember the title, but she owns a laundry service in it and it's really, really good) and, having always known I wanted to write about the first war, decided to do Caradoc, since we don't know much at all about him. He kinda developed himself - his personality, his job, and everything like that. I just knew that I wanted an Order member who didn't fall in love, who didn't have a family/lover/kids to be the reason for him choosing to fight, because they all seem to, you know? So, that was sort of how he came about.
5. What's next on your 'To Write' list?
Well, I've got a new story in the queue - it's a humour fic about the Death Eaters at Christmas That's going to be twelve chapters long and it's very, very silly. Definitely nothing like Underworld.
Apart from that, I'm planning a James (II) story, in which he goes to Durmstrang, rather than Hogwarts. It's going to take a lot of planning, though, but it's on the list to write next. Maybe when I finish one of the others, lol. Too many stories! *hides*

1.) How did you come up with the wonderful wonderful idea of A Very Death Eater Christmas? I fell in love with the first chapter. It was so beautifully wonderful.
2.) Which of your stories are you most proud of?
3.) What's your favourite Christmas emoticon? (I'm sorry, but its got to be )
4.) Which of your characters are you most likely to be friends with?
5.) Whats next on your to-write-list (after the next billion chapters of A Very Death Eater Christmas)
Oh I wish it could be christmas every day...
I write lots & lots & lots of stories(12+)
all the pretty things rebel_heart@ tda
Posted 20 December 2011 - 03:39 PM
Haha, thanks! I wanted to write something for Christmas - just something short, maybe a one-shot or something. And I like the Death Eaters, so I thought I'd do something about them. And then it kinda... created itself.
2.) Which of your stories are you most proud of?
Most proud of? I have no idea! I'm quite proud of Finding Bella, coz that's completely out of my comfort zone, but I could say the same thing about Underworld since it's nothing like what I usually write. I guess the answer is... kinda all of them?
3.) What's your favourite Christmas emoticon? (I'm sorry, but its got to be )
Oh my gosh, that emoticon is amazing! I love it!
4.) Which of your characters are you most likely to be friends with?
I think I'd get along quite well with Scorpius from Musings, to be honest, which probably says a lot about me. Either Scorpius and Albus, or Ted and his friends from When Perseus Met Andromeda, I think.
5.) Whats next on your to-write-list (after the next billion chapters of A Very Death Eater Christmas)
There's only twelve chapters of AVDEC! But anyway... in terms of chapters, probably Musings and Finding Bella. In terms of actual stories, my NaNo novel and a new James (II) story - but the James (II) story's only in the planning stage, so that won't be up for aaaaages.
Thank you for the Christmas love!

1.) Name one thing that almost always attracts you to a story.
Erm... James/Lily, I think. I'm a huge fan of that pairing, simply because they just kind of 'are' to me, so I like reading about them. Also, James/Lily often means Sirius!
2.) Name one thing that almost always turns you off from a story.
Ironically, Sirius/OC. I absolutely adore Sirius to pieces (as well as the rest of the Black family...) so I'm incredibly picky about Sirius/OC stories. It's awful, because I shouldn't be, but usually I get about a couple of chapters in and then quit, simply because I don't think it's quite right.
3.) Is there anything you think you would never write about (era, character, ship, etc.)?
Founder's Era! Mostly because I'm a history nerd, so I'd become obsessed with being historically accurate to the time period and all that sort of stuff, which would just bog the story down in detail and kinda screw it up.
4.) Name one author and one story on the archive that inspire you.
AC_rules never fails to astound me. She can write everything and write it all well, which is doubly amazing. Reading her stories always makes me feel so terrible, lol. I don't know if I have a particular story which inspires me, to be honest. I read a lot and I have a bunch of favourites which I tend to read when I'm feeling down or bored or... well, whenever I feel like it, really.
5.) Lastly, care to share one of your writing-related "resolutions" for 2012?
FINISH SOMETHING!!! At the moment I have four WIPs on the archives and another two in the works. It's just too much! I'd like to finish Musings of a Malfoy, A Very Death Eater Christmas and Finding Bella at least in the next year, so then I can concentrate on the more gritty, darker stuff. It probably won't happen, knowing me and resolutions, but we'll see... there's 364 days left to go, after all!

1) What was the best Christmas present you got this year?
Oh dear. It's probably a toss up between two I got from my parents and one from my sister. They were: a pair of absolutely gorgeous shoes (I'm kinda obsessed), a huge book all about Queen which was published to mark their 40th anniversary (they're my all-time favourite band), and the film The Mask of Zorro. In the last two days I've already seen it twice.
2) Is there a character that you would love to write but don't feel you can? Who and why?
Quite a few actually. I always hesitate before writing Harry - even really in third person - because I find him pretty difficult, and I point-blank avoid writing anything where he's the main character. Also, I don't think I'd ever be able to do characters like Dumbledore, Moody, Hagrid, etc. justice so they're also only ever tiny, weeny background characters. It's just... I dunno... they have such individual personalities and I don't think I'd necessarily be able to get that into anything I wrote about them.
3) There are lots of topics on the forum about things from the films that weren't quite done right - but is there anything that you think was actually done better in the films than the books?
The one I'll always remember is the bit in the fourth film, in the graveyard. I think it just works better when you can actually see it, but I really felt almost like I was there. Also, the Final Battle, I think, was better than the books in ways - again, probably because of the advantages film has over writing. Things were going on with Harry so JKR couldn't fit it all in, you know, whereas the film could jump from character to character and really allow us to get a feel for the battle itself. The duel between Bellatrix and Molly in the film though still irritates me.
4) You get a Christmas wish! You can save the life of one character from the books. Hurray! There's a catch, though - you have to kill off another one instead, and it can't be a Death Eater or other villain. Which two characters would you swap?
Ooh, difficult question. Really, really difficult. I think I'd swap Dumbledore and... George. George because I think it would almost have been kinder for both him and Fred to go, in a way. Dumbledore because he put so much effort into fighting Voldemort - creating the Order, researching Horcruxes, preparing Harry for what he needed to do, protecting as many people as he could - that I think he kind of deserves to see the world he helped so much to create.
5) If you could ask JKR one question, what would it be?
If she could change a pivotal point/event in any of the books, which one it would be. I'm just curious like that. Plus, it's always interesting to know which bits authors hate about their own work, because it's never the bits you think it would be.

gorgeous new set by our sea star @ TDA
Posted 22 March 2012 - 06:07 PM
What motivates you to write?
Most of the time, it's music. It can be anything - a song I haven't heard in years and just hear randomly one day, a song I play nearly every day, a song I know all the words too, anything. Films help a lot as well, particularly with shaping characters and storylines. Often, when I get an idea I just have to sit down and write it, or start planning it - most of those ideas end up in the recycle bin on my computer sooner or later, but it's just getting them out of my system otherwise I won't stop thinking about them.
What's your favourite colour?
This is actually a tricky question... er... emerald green. It's just so pretty
What was the very first story you remember writing?
Oh gosh, it was a little - about three pages long - one-shot kinda thing about Tudor England when I was really young. It was absolutely terrible, of course, but I think I enjoyed it a lot.
What do you love best about being a Ravenclaw?
The Corvarium is amazing. Everyone in there is so nice and friendly - if someone makes a mistake in the Review Battle or forgets their turn in Hangman it's not a problem, someone will step in and solve it - and everyone gets on so well. Also, there's always things going on and things to get involved with, so it's always pretty active. I feel a bit bad because I haven't been as active in it as I used to be... gah *embarrassed face*
If you had a Patronus, what would it be?
I honestly have no idea. I'd like to think it would be something cool, like a cat or a swan or a bird or something like that, but it probably wouldn't.
Ideally, of course, it would be a dragon
What does your ideal wand look like?
Like Voldemort's. lol, no, not really. Probably fairly simple and a light brown colour, I think. That's a pretty useless answer, since most woods are some sort of brown colour, but I don't really know. I'd like to think it would be a pretty wand - like Fleur's, you know, with all the carving on it - but it's hard to tell. Besides, the wand chooses the wizard, after all
Your favourite moment from the books/movies?
I have too many! I love pretty much everything with Lockhart in (because he's just comedy gold), and the Weasley twins and then Snape has a load of brilliant one-liners in both the books and the movies.
My favourite Snape line, though, is probably: "Clearly, Mr Potter, fame isn't everything." Alan Rickman just delivers it in such a brilliantly icy tone - it's just perfect. I still giggle every time I watch the first film and he says it.
Who was the first person you remember meeting on the forums?
Ooh, gosh, this is difficult. Probably long_live_luna_bellatrix. She first gave me the password to the Ravenclaw Common Room, and sort of introduced me to how everything worked here. I don't really remember when I met people - I'm terrible at remembering things like this.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go to?
To live or just to visit? If it's to visit, I'd go on a cruise to Antartica. It would be so beautiful - miles and miles and miles of beautiful, undisturbed, glittering ice and snow... I'd just love it. The cold would be totally worth the views.
To live... Paris. I've always wanted to live in Paris. I can't really explain it - I just love everything about the city. The people, the shopping, the culture, the food... everything.
If you went to Hogwarts, which character would be your best friend?
Probably Hermione or Lily Evans, depending on the era. I don't think I would get on particularly well with Lavender, just because our interests are completely different. Like Hermione (and people often presume about Lily too) I like reading and I do actually do my homework, although I'm not quite so obsessed with studying (I could do a university degree in procrastination and get a first easily), but I think we'd get on well. We're both quite logical, so it seems like it could work out.
Thank you for stopping by! I really enjoyed answering all your questions! I'm so so glad you like my stories - it really does mean a lot to me!

Thought I posted this but it's not here. Will try this again. Does this table have any particular name? Love it but not sure what to call it. Don't see any name on it anywhere. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very often a table with drop leaves would have been a sewing table....but probably would have had a bin or a large drawer to keep the mending in. I have a small walnut end table with drop leaves; I just call it an end table. |
Lindac this is way taller than an end table. Atleast a foot or a little more. More |
I have a 2 drawer table like yours, was sold to me as a "work table" |
nyboy thanks for the reply. I was talking with a friend at the time and she looked at the photo and says it's a dessert table. The drop leafs available if you have numerous to sit out on it. Drawers so you could keep napkins, dessert plates and silverware handy. So I can see someone maybe calling it a work table also. |
How tall is it? |
It's 32 inches tall and 20 inches wide with the drop leafs down. |
That's end table height...In the 1870's chairs weren't close to the floor and end tables and night stands were taller. I have 3 old tables that are that tall, and a couple more than are 29 inches tall. It's not a dessert table, that would have been on wheels. I believe it was designed as a work table and used next to a chair. Are the dove tails hand done? Linda C |
Lindac I have no idea what a dovetail is? Looking at the photo I'm still not sure what it is. I couldn't say for sure what is hand done, although it is a well put together piece, not mass produced and drawers are excellent. Here is a photo to give an idea of size next to the end table. BTW I said something to my friend about wheels and she said there were stationary ones, like stationary buffets. I was thinking about my teacart. :) I appreciate all the info and gives me a lot more than I had. |
Dove tailing is a way of joining2 pieces of wood....scroll down at the link. Your table is a style that came about about 1955 or so...often called a cobbler's bench style or a step back table. Old tables really were taller....perhaps it might better be called a side table. Our ancestors didn't have coffee tables, they had tea tables, they didn't have little low tables at the side of a sofa with a big tall lamp on, they had taller tables with an oil lamp on it. |

The ability to migrate applications to a cloud environment is one of the top reasons organizations adopt cloud computing, but before transferring an existing or new app to the cloud, businesses must consider several factors.
In a recent ZDNet column, technology expert Mike Piech explained why, when and how companies should move applications to the cloud. According to Piech, businesses must consider how the cloud will impact the app, which apps they should first migrate and how transitioning each app to the cloud will benefit the company.
Piech discussed several ways enterprises can move critical business applications to the cloud, as companies can deploy software using Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service or Software-as-a-Service, each of which boasting specific advantages.
"At the IaaS end, you have maximum flexibility, but developers have a lot of work to do. At the SaaS end, there is less flexibility, but developers have minimal work to do," Piech explained. "Most businesses need and want something in the middle, which is why the PaaS model is rapidly gaining momentum."
With limited full-time IT employees and minimal development budgets, the SaaS model could significantly benefit small and medium-sized businesses. Meanwhile, companies with large, in-house tech teams may decide to build their own customized cloud-based applications.
The report cited three major benefits of migrating business applications to a cloud environment. According to Piech, cloud-based apps enable enterprises to improve agility and productivity, concentrate on higher-value business functions and reduce operating costs. The cloud decreases IT costs by improving scalability and eliminating expensive software licensing fees, among other factors.
"As organizations gain experience with migrating to the cloud, new opportunities for increasing agility, focus, and cost savings will emerge, and forward-looking companies will find new ways to transform them into competitive advantage," Piech concluded.
Many businesses are already experiencing the benefits of deploying customer relationship management, business intelligence, human resources and accounting applications in the cloud, and experts believe more companies will adopt models like SaaS as security concerns are erased. According to a recent Yankee Group survey, enterprise SaaS adoption nearly doubled in 2011 and most businesses expected to move more applications to the cloud this year.

Kindle Fire Users Rejoice: OverDrive Comes to Amazon App Store
By: Michael Lovett
Now that the OverDrive Media Console app is available in the Amazon App Store for Android, it's easier for users of the Kindle Fire to access eBooks from OverDrive-powered libraries.
OverDrive recently released new versions of the OverDrive Media Console apps for Android and iOS(iPhone/ iPad/ iPod touch). For the first time, OMC is available to Kindle Fire users in the Amazon App Store for Android, making it easier to access eBooks and audiobooks from OverDrive-powered libraries. (Previously, Kindle Fire users could side-load the OMC app.)
With OMC v2.6, they've further refined the browsing experience. Users can now browse their library's digital collection from within the application—no need to launch a separate browser window.
Other key updates:
OMC v2.6 employs Google Analytics to compile anonymous usage data, which will help us as they develop future versions of the app. Please note, OMC does not collect personally identifiable information, and the app enables users to opt out of sending anonymous usage data.
The system requirements have not changed: Android v2.1 (or newer); iOS v4.2 (or newer).
If you already have OMC installed, you'll see an "update" prompt the next time you open the app. Otherwise, download the updated apps here:

Jul 10, 2013 6:46 PM by April Hansen, KSBY News
The Santa Barbara County Fair kicked off today in Santa Maria.
Fair organizers expect thousands of people to walk through the gates during the five-day event.
It's the 122nd Santa Barbara County Fair and this year fair goers are celebrating "Memories, Music and Magic."
Last year, the fair had its highest attendance with 161,000 people.
This annual event has a reputation of attracting big crowds and bringing in big money to the community.
It's one of the most popular events for the Santa Maria Fairpark, attracting thousands of people every year.
"Each year we work very hard to bring new and exciting entertainment and new and exciting rides," said Santa Maria Fairpark public relations representative Yvonne Biely.
Biely says the fair attracts fairgoers from across the Central Coast and benefits the local economy.
"They stay in our local hotels, gas up in our gas stations and they go to the grocery store and buy food," said Biely.
Janel Armet is one of more than 150 vendors set up at the Fairpark.
She's ready for a big crowd.
"I paint people's faces from Santa Barbara up to Paso," said Armet.
Armet says she always gets her regular customers, but looks forward to a new year with new faces.

The Snuggie was probably one of the most popular fun gifts last year, but now a snugger, pink version is out on the market. The Hoodie Footie Snuggle Suit is a hip-hugging onesie with a kangaroo pouch, hood and built-in slippers.
All the Hoodie Footie Snuggle Suit needs is a bum flap and it would be a glorified children's one-piece pajama. It is made of cozy pink fleece and is like slippers, a hoodie and a blanket in one. The Snuggle Suit takes the idea of a Snuggie up a few notches.

An auto accident can ruin your life. It can result in disabling injuries, doctors visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, lost income, lost pension benefits, physical pain and mental suffering, and the very real prospect of permanent disabilities. To make matters worse, you have to battle with insurance companies that often wrongfully deny claims and refuse to make payments.
Our law firm understands the complexities that auto accidents entail, including both legal and insurance matters. We specialize in auto accident cases and will work diligently to get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.
We refuse to settle cases for low-ball offers that insurance companies make everyday. We do not wait 3 years to file a lawsuit and move the case forward. We return phone calls to our clients promptly.
We believe in the highest form of customer service. We recognize that a referral from an existing or a former client is the best compliment and the best form of advertising.
If you've been injured or lost a loved one in a car accident, we extend our sympathies and condolences. We realize no amount of money can ever replace your loss. However, we will help recover money for the injuries and damages suffered.
In an auto accident, the law limits the time you have to file a claim. This is especially true for your medical benefits.
As your attorneys we will remove the frustration of dealing with the insurance companies. Most people believe that if the accident is not their fault, the other driver's insurance company will automatically pay for their damages. Sadly, that is not the case.
A free consultation is only a phone call away. Please Call Now 212 400 4000.
We offer a No Win – No Fee Guarantee.
Auto Accident Basic Information
1. The Investigation & Litigation of Auto Accidents and the resulting injuries is very complex and costly. In view of this, it is advised that you contact our law firm immediately. Please call for a free consultation 212 400 4000
2. Medical Treatment & Bills: In the State of New York medical bills resulting from auto accident injuries, including emergency visits to the hospital and ambulance bills, are covered by the insurance company of the host car. (The vehicle you were sitting in at the time of the accident). This is regardless of which vehicle is at fault in the accident.
3. NF-2 "No-Fault Application":The NF-2 has to be filed with the host insurance company for the coverage of all medical bills within 30 days of the date of the accident. Once again this is regardless of who's at fault, all auto accident victims have to complete this form and send it to the insurance company of the host vehicle.
Once a claim is established, you will be able to treat with a physician of your choice, as long as they accept no-fault benefits.
4. Medical Treatment: As an auto accident victim it's your right to choose any physician of your choice to seek medical treatment. After an accident, people are in a state of shock and may not realize the extent of their injuries. Often what appears to be a minor injury can prove to be deadly.
Not all injuries caused by car accidents are immediately apparent. Some injuries, such as head, neck, low back, shoulder, knee and ankle injuries may not become noticeable or disabling until days, weeks or months later. Sometimes people think the injury is minor and will get better, only to find it gets progressively worse.
It's important to seek medical attention right away to make sure you're examined for any possible injuries.
The insurance company will use any delay in seeking medical care against you. If you delay seeing a doctor for days or weeks, the insurance company will use it as proof that you were not seriously injured or that your injuries were not caused by the car accident. Copies of your medical reports serve as documentation that your injuries are causally related to the accident.
5. "IME" Independent Medical Examination: Eventually, the no-fault provider will notify you of an appointment to see one of their doctors for an IME (Independent Medical Examination).
The insurance company of the host car, (the car that you were in at the time of the accident) will send you to their own doctor to determine your medical condition; often these doctors terminate your benefits within two to four months of the accident date.
Attending an IME (Independent Medical Examination) is very important. If you fail to attend this examination, your entire medical claim will be denied. In that case you will end up paying for the medical bills out of your own pocket.
6. Hiring an Attorney & Attorney Fee: All victims of auto accidents have the right to the best legal representation possible. You have a right to choose any lawyer of your liking. Auto accident lawyers work on a contingency basis, standard industry fee is 1/3 (33%) of the total amount recovered. This means that the lawyer will only receive a fee if he or she recovers money for your injuries.
7. Changing Your Lawyer and/or Doctor: If you are not satisfied with your attorney and/or your doctor, you have a right to fire either party and
move your case to a different lawyer and/or doctor. You can change your attorney without paying an additional fee.
Both the old attorney and new attorney will be compensated from the same 33% fee. If you are dissatisfied with your current attorney's performance, please call us for a free, no obligation consultation. 212-400-4000
8. Damage to Your Vehicle: Most law firms charge upwards of 33% to recover money for the physical damage to your vehicle. At our law firm, we believe in customer service and satisfaction and do not charge any fee to get you paid the damage done to your vehicle.
There are two options when it comes to the payment for damage done to your vehicle. Option number one only applies if you have full coverage (meaning your car is fully insured for comprehensive and collision coverage). In this case you can make a claim against your own insurance company, regardless of who is at fault.
Option number two is that the insurance company of the car that was at fault in the accident will pay for the damage done to your vehicle.
In either scenario, we serve our clients and their best interest, making sure that they get compensated for physical damage done to their vehicles.
9. Rental Car Coverage: Rental cars can also be covered with the same two options listed above. Most insurance companies have a set limit on how much they will pay for a daily rental. Since it depends on the insurance company and your insurance coverage, it's always a good idea to find out ahead of time the exact rental amount allowed.
10. Loss of Wages:As an auto accident victim you have a right to collect loss wages for the period your injuries prevented you from working. Generally, loss wages are claimed from the host vehicle's insurance (the vehicle you were the passenger in at the time of accident).
11. Hit & Run Accidents: If you have been injured in a hit & run accident you can still receive medical treatment, as well recover monies for you injuries. Medical bills are always paid by the insurance company of the vehicle you were either driving, or a passenger in at the time of accident, this is regardless of which vehicle is at fault.
When it comes to recovering monies for your pain and suffering, in a hit & run case, it is also covered by the vehicle you were in at the time of accident.
12. Passenger in an Uninsured Vehicle: If you were injured in an auto accident and the vehicle that you were in was uninsured at the time of accident, your medical bills will be paid my MVAIC (Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation).
13. Immigration Status, Accidents & Injuries: Your immigration status has no bearing on your right to receive compensation for your injuries from any auto accident.
Many people feel that since they are either visiting or have overstayed their visa, they may not be entitled to file a claim for their injuries, THIS IS NOT TRUE. The fact is that anyone injured in any type of an auto accident has the right to recover damages regardless of their immigration status.
What to do after an Auto Accident
1. Be Careful: Anything said at the time of accident can be used against you and disqualify a potential Auto Accident Claim or an Auto Accident Settlement.
Determining who is at fault for an auto accident can be difficult due to the many factors an auto accident can involve. Our legal and support staff have the resources to quickly and effectively determine who the liable parties are. Even if someone involved in an auto accident thinks that they are partly at fault, they may still be able to collect damages.
2. Must Exchange Information & File a Police Report: Always insist on filing a proper police report and insist on exchanging information such as the name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number, driver license number and license plate number for the driver and the owner of each vehicle. If the driver's name is different from the name of the insured, establish what the relationship is and take down the name and address for each individual. Also make a written description of each car, including year, make, model and color — and the exact location of the collision and how it happened. Finally, be polite.
3. Do Not Sign Any Documents: Do not sign any documents at the time accident or at any other time without consulting with a lawyer who specializes in Auto Accident Cases.
Our firm specializes in Auto Accident Cases and an initial consultation is always free and without any obligation. Call Now 212 400 4000
4. Photos & Documentation: Take pictures of the scene of the accident, street signs, traffic lights, traffic signs, intersection, and all vehicles involved. Use your cell phone camera if you have to.
5. Don't Deal With Ambulance Chasers / Runners! At the scene of accident or at the hospital, an ambulance chaser / runner may approach and solicit you to a doctor and or a lawyer.
Ambulance chasers /runners are committing a crime by approaching accident victims.
In some cases hospital may release your contact information to an ambulance chaser / runner.
These individuals may call and pretend to be representatives of your insurance company, your lawyer's office, your insurance company's lawyer's office, or your insurance company'sdoctor's office,
Ambulance Chasing / Running is illegal in the State of New York. Dealing with ambulance chasers / runners will put your case in jeopardy. Accepting money from them upfront to go to a specific doctor or a lawyer may disqualify your entire claim and case.
Ambulance chasers / runners steer the accident victims to the highest paying bidder, this jeopardizes the legal rights and medical treatment of the accident victim. It's routine for all insurance companies to ask an accident victim if he or she has had any dealings with ambulance chasers/ runners. If so, your entire case may be denied.
6, Reporting the Accident to Your Own Insurance Company: Never Give a Statement to The Other Driver's Insurance Company. Additionally, it isalways advisable to speak to an attorney before reporting a claim to your own insurance company.
Insurance companies often attempt to take a recorded statement within 24 hours of an accident. The insurance companies are well aware that the full extent of your injuries may not be known within 24 hours.
Insurance companies that ask for such statements know that important legal issues are involved. Insurance companies have lawyers to protect their rights and so should you. You should politely advise the insurance company adjuster that you have retained an attorney and to please call your lawyer.
To report your accident to your own insurance company, provide them with the following information: (to the best of your ability)
Name of the driver(s) of the other vehicle(s), including their addresses & phone numbers
Driver's license number(s)
License Plate Numbers of all Vehicles
Name(s) of insurance company and policy number(s)
Names of passengers, including their addresses & phone numbers
Names of witnesses, including their addresses & phone numbers
Names of the owner of the other vehicle(s)
7. Accepting Settlements: You should never sign any paperwork or a release form from an insurance company following an accident without first consulting an attorney that specializes in auto accident cases.
The Insurance Research Council (IRC) found that individuals represented by an attorney received Three and Half Times More Money than individuals who settled their case without a lawyer.
Even after paying attorneys' fees, clients received more than double the amount of money they would have received without an attorney.
It has been reported that insurance companies want you to sign papers and settle your case before you hire a lawyer.
Many auto accident victims have signed away their rights to file a claim before understanding the full nature and extent of their injuries or the true value of their claim. The insurance companies have lawyers and know the true value of your case, working hard on their side so should you. Do not gamble with your legal rights. Call our law firm for a free consultation. We are here to help. Call Now 212 400 4000. We offer a No Win – No Fee Guarantee.

The US was convinced to take on the project of The Panama Canal in 1902. The next year, US and Colombia were moved to sign a treaty to allow the construction of the Canal. America quickly decided in favor, but the treaty was turned down but the Colombian Congress (who didn't want the canal to be constructed as they were afraid of losing sovereignty over Panama. Colombian internal conflicts –Thousand Days War- were also factors that drove Colombia away from the proposal in fear of a second failure which they could not afford at the state), despite wishes to continue the operation that Panama had for itself. That led to America now supporting the sparest movement from Colombia. US warships blocked sea lanes for possible Colombian troop movements in route to put down the rebellion. Panama declared independence the next day, November 3, 1903. With backing of the US, Panama gained independence and was first recognized as The Republic of Panama. That also gave American access to the Canal Zone so that the construction could begin.
Starting in 1904 and finishing in 1914, the Canal was built, still leaving the Canal Zone in America's control. Later on, the Torrijos–Carter Treaties that were signed between the United States and Panama in 1977. The treaties guaranteed that from then on, the canal would be under a joined government of US and Panama, and afterwards, Panama would gain control of the Panama Canal after 1999, ending the control of the canal that the US had. Panama indeed did gain sovereignty over the Canal when promised. The treaties also ensured the constant protect of the US for Panama and it's Canal.
//end lol
Alright, well,
Here is a cool video on how construction was; www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOTA-S…
It's where I got "Against all odds" from
This is already where America gets a hold of the canal.
You see, Panama's biological diversity was so intense that is what killed so many of the French and made them abandon the project with insanely unsuccessful results. They only stuck to the idea of having a sea-level canal. Guess what the Panama canal actually is now? A canal with locks. It raises over 25 meters to move ships above mountains! By the time the French failed they lost a lot of lives to yellow fever (it's called "yellow jack" in panama, disease, of course) they also went bankrupt and the government fell.
That's why France in this picture has a yellow handkerchief. It shows that he's sick, and its yellow since that was their problem asides the fact that there was a river which flooded them over and over during rainy season.
Once America got the canal to continue building, they also started dying really fast due to yellow fever. Then- American approach was pure genius, actually. They rid the whole jungles of yellow fever completely when they took a break from the construction to sterilize Panama. They did that by ridding it of mosquitoes. That's why they both look rather confident here. Panama finally flourished with industrialization, there were cities and comfortable houses being built in areas where people couldn't live before. A lot of the Americans and many soldiers (this was actually an army effort, yes) settled there in Panama with their wives (I think especially Cristóbal but I am not sure ?? There was a city that developed during the American time of the canal and it was one of the biggest cities or something like that of that time's modern age). The Americans saved them from all those natural jungle diseases. Malaria and other problems also got significantly smaller after they wiped out the mosquito population which was carrying the diseases. Americans were considered heroes because of it //ming lol
This is a very very good short BBC movie about Panama canal construction (people view): www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPCQy…
It talks a lot about details and such I am really lazy to type right now orz
The only fact wrong in the movie is that they called Panama an earthquake hotspot when its not. One of Panama's wonders is that it has an intense lack of any natural disasters like earthquakes and herricanes. They are usually really small, earthquakes only happen in the Chiriqui province.
I'd also like to add that they're dressed as workers. Panama is a canal nurse www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/americanex… , then America and France are dressed in the worker attire. Yes, the workers wore white shirts. The clothing was light, it needed to be able to stand the 120 F degree weather.
Alfred's hair is slicked back because lmao thats the early 1900's nobody wore their hair like alfred's normal cut then (? plus i love drawing him in moved-back hair omg. And Maria's is pulled up again because of comfort + time era reasons.
America's red handkerchief also represents the motivation of the Americans through Teddy Roosevelt (because he liked handkerchiefs?? understandhistorynow.files.wor… ). He was an very popular US president, he took over this project. He also visited Panama in 1906 during construction to give even more motivation during a speech in bad weather (he did so in the rain to see what the workers were going through) and it was the first time a US president ever left the country while still in office. Teddy believed Panama was their key to America's future as a world power. And he was right, that is what gave them such an upper-hand navy.
The Panama Canal is the largest engineering project ever undertaken, and its America's key to a dominating navy, good imports and exports, and it made him a world power. You're welcome Alfred Jones jfc.
It's also getting an expansion right now in modern day ahh they keep on making wondrous history together
Ugh I love canal history <3

And just when you thought that DRM sounded worrying enough, DTCP-IP enters the fray. Not only are providers poised to use DRM to their economic advantage, BUT they're concerned that streaming that protected content across the airwaves will expose it, allowing potential interception by a non-DRM protected device.
So DTCP-IP (Digital Transmission Content Protection over Internet Protocol) will be used as a communications catalyst. It uses 128-bit SSL encryption to ensure that media content streamed out from a Viiv box is protected. It leverages off TCP/IP but it's not restricted to any particular physical medium - wired or wireless is fine.
However, and this is the killer, DTCP-IP reinforces the DRM model. It's not just an innocent bystander. To stream using DTCP-IP, you have to have devices capable of receiving it AND you have to be streaming content written to comply with the DTCP-IP standards. The most popular music store on the internet, iTunes, does not provide DTCP-IP-compliant content.
So, buy yourself a Viiv machine, and you're locked out of iTunes.

I bought this product because stylists rave about it on this one blog I love, intothegloss.com
Supposedly all these stylists use it during runway shows.
Thickening: This product is great at thickening and adding texture and grip to your hair.
Volumizing: I don't find that this product volumizes more or better than drugstore products. It does create great lift and volume but like drugstore products, it falls flat pretty quick. I also didn't find that it extended my "clean hair" to a second day like some reviewers mentioned. I've had hair products do that before, and this wasn't it.
Overall: I feel this is an expensive version of a drugstore volumizing product. I won't be repurchasing.

Bed Head Queen for a day thickening spray.
Ok so let me first say that I have fine hair but plenty of it in a bob and a fringe and my hair can look pretty flat without back-combing. I usually use mousses's along with voluminous hair techniques like back combing. Only problem with back combing is makes hair super knotty and is terrible for hair split ends, dry hair blah blah. So I was on the hunt for some products that would hopefully give me that oomph. Lets just say I found it right here with Bed Head. After them using bed head at my salon I love all the smells and cute packaging when my hairdresser does my highlights and cut so was tempted to treat myself to a few of their products. I love this spray when sprayed onto dry hair into sections and then blow dry each sections finishing my straightening. This is a 'heat activated' product and therefore requires you to use heat on your hair for it to work. It seemed like the more heat I was using the more volume I was getting. I can't honestly believe how much beautiful volume this product gave me it smells absolutely lush, quite citrus and fresh but seriously no joke it makes me look like I have twice as much hair. I absolutely adore everything about this product and will continue to repurchase as it really hits the spot. Well worth every penny for me! Well impressed!!

I have a classic Bob hairstyle that I love but can at times look a little flat, especially in hot humid SC. I found this product on a clearance rack at TJ Max (outer cap missing) for 5.00 and thought it worth a try. I love it but I don't use it on wet hair, after drying my hair I flip hair to one side, lightly spray with Superstar then take my hands and run from bottom up to roots, flip hair to the other side and repeat. After doing this my hair will be standing up looking crazy/ scary but again using my fingers I pull hair from underneath placing it how I want it to lay. The top layer I leave a little looser/ textured looking. For me it works wonderful, not crunchy or sticky just thicker/ volume. Start out using a light spray you can always add more. Although I got a great deal on this can I would pay full price in the future . Youtube has a couple of good videos with helpful info on using. Hope this is helpful, good luck!

This product is not going to give you that big, sassy, "Dallas" hair but for an everyday thickining spray its great. I love the way it keeps my normally oily hair looking clean all day. It gives it a noticeable amount of body without looking too full for the office.

This stuff is great, but don't use as directed. I bought this to use on my 2nd day hair because I like the dispenser. I was not dissapointed. I spray some on my roots blow dry with my head upside down, hit my roots with the cool shot and flip my hair back. Amazing volume for 2nd day hair. I'm taking one lippie off because I tried it on wet hair and was not impressed. I prefer the Catwalk Root Boost on wet hair.

I used to blow dry my hair a lot and I tried this out the way it's supposed to be used: sprayed on the roots and then blow-dried. It really didn't work well that way for me at all; I just got weighed down roots. Now that my hair is longer I don't want to spend the extra time blow drying my hair so I do what the other reviewer does: I spray it onto the ponytail part of my hair only after putting in some leave in conditioner and twist it into a bun and sleep in it. I only started doing this because I have a ton of hair products that I used a lot with short hair but now don't need with my longer hair, so I'm thinking of creative ways of using things up. Who knew that uses this like a mousse on the length of my hair works better than regular mousse?

I love this stuff. It smells AMAZING. However, you either love TiGi scents or you hate them and if you hate them you won't like this. It's very sweet... like wearing cotton candy on your head.
It's a moderate thickener (rusk Thick is better) but I will keep using it because I think I might be addicted to the smell.

I have really fine hair, but masses of it, so getting volume in my hair is always such a chore. I used to use mousse in my hair, but it always seemed too heavy and made my hair sticky - so I thought I'd give this a go.
It's nothing special. The first thing that annoyed me about it was that it awkwardly squirts instead of spraying so I can't directly spray it onto my hair. Instead I spray it on my fingers and work into my hair, and it seems to work better this way. It gives alright volume.. nothing major but it still makes the difference. I do like it because it's very easy to use and doesn't go icky sticky or weigh my hair down at all. And obviously because it's TiGi - it smells divine :)
I payed around £10 for this which isn't bad considering the size of the bottle, and it will probably last me a very long time. I'll probably repurchase unless I find something better (quite keen to try the S Factor Body Booster).

I'm a 26 year old female. My right arm has been hurting all day!! I've taken ibprofen but it's not helping. I am miserable--I'm at work and can't function. The pain feels like there is a tight rubberband tied around my upper arm or my shoulder. The pain goes all the way down the arm. I have tendonitis--I would have thought maybe it's related but I have experienced the pain in my right upper thigh too, but not at the same times. Looking at stuff on the internet but really don't know what to look for. Please help--anyone. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you work out? It could possibly be muscle pain or did you lift anything heavy? If it continues you should have it checked out to rule out anything serious. I hope it disappears and you're fine again. |
