from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
"This is the way it should be," Anaheim GM Brian Burke said Sunday after his Ducks dropped a shootout decision to Columbus and remained four points out of the last playoff position. "This is what we voted for." He recalled his tenure in Vancouver, when the annual trade deadline meant big boys such as Colorado, Detroit, Philadelphia and Toronto scooped up most of the available big-name players because the small markets were unloading salary to keep their bottom line in order or were unable to obtain those players because of the same economic constraints.

Also sees Roloson and Joseph moving, plus Theodore getting traded in the summer to either Vancouver or Colorado.

from the Soo Today,
The professional hockey career of Mighty Ducks prospect Jordan Smith is over, after officials of Maine Medical Center announced tonight that he won't regain vision in his injured eye. The following news release was issued tonight by Portland Pirates: Smith is under the care of orbital specialist Dr. Natan D. Kahn M.D., and retinal specialist Dr. Jeffrey K. Moore M.D. "Today Jordan underwent a second surgery on his left eye, which was uncomplicated. It was determined pre-operatively that vision in the eye could not be restored and the intent of today's operation was to keep the eye comfortable and achieve the best cosmetic outcome. The surgery was successful in all aspects and he is recovering well and will be discharged tomorrow," said Dr. Moore.read on

Lidstrom Talks

Comments (0)
It is not often that you hear an interview with Nick Lidstrom that lasts longer than a minute. Tonight, Lidstrom was a guest on the Mitch Albom radio show for about ten minutes. He talked about the Olympics (after having a team dinner when they won the gold, they went back to the Olympic village where they met up with the women from the gold medal winning Swedish curling team) and his future. Nick plans on taking it a year at a time, doesn't see himself playing at age 44 like Chelios, but is motivated by seeing Cheli and Yzerman performing at their age. He credits his success to his off-season workouts and his positioning on the ice. Mitch asked him about Babcock and he stated Babcock is doing a great job. Starting to get the Wings into playoff hockey mode, wants them to play more in a straight line, go directly to the net and play a little tougher. All in all a good interview, and nice not to hear he is thinking about retirement.

Sharks Trying To Find Their Way
by Paul on 03/06/06 at 04:37 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
For San Jose Sharks coach Ron Wilson, the most difficult part of a weirdly up-and-down season is that every time it looks as if his team is about to make that one final surge into a playoff spot, something bad happens... Nor is Wilson giving up hope. The Sharks made an organizational decision during the lockout to stick with home-grown prospects and not shop the free-agent market. Accordingly, there has been a significant turnover in their personnel since thee 2004 trip to the finals (and three more players, Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau and Brad Stuart left in the Thornton trade). So they are a young group, new in the league and new to each other, still trying to find their way.read on

Let's trade my geranium/pelargonium
Hi there,
I have red and pink geranium, red ice and pink ivy geranium, and purple hardy geranium as the picture shown below.
I'd love to get any geranium/pelargonium other than those. Thank you.
I have two more ivy geranium from a plant sale held by local community college nursery.
One is Red and another one is mix Red-Pink. I don't have plenty of them, only couple cutting available for trade.
Btw, let me know if anybody knew the IDs of my geraniums.
Thank you.
Hi meli. Seems like we are in the same zone. Do you live in the Seattle/Tacoma area? That last geranimum with the deeper edge is a Martha Washington. My very favorites! Technically, one is not suppose to propagate them, but I've done it. They seem to come quite readily from cuttings in late summer, early autumn. Unfortunately, I haven't had alot of success trying to overwinter geraniums. But, I think I'll give it another try this season as I now have a place that is more suitable. Anyway. I have grown several F2 Zonal geraniums from seed this winter. They NEED to be potted on now, and I expect to be able to do that this weekend...but keep them under the light unit until the weather warms up. I would be happy to trade any of them for any cuttings/plants of yours. I want to start trying to hybridize geraniums as there hasn't been alot of work done on them, and it would be nice if someday, a hardier pelagorium was marketed. I do have a pretty hardy geranium that was given to me several years ago. It is much smaller than most I have seen and the blooms just cover the plant in spring. They are a light pink. I'd be happy to trade some of those too. I need to make starts of them this season so I will definitely have some to share. As we may live in close proximity to one another, we could probably trade rooted cuttings or plants. Save postage and get to say HI. Hope to hear from you. Have a great weekend. Sincerely Sambal...(MJ).
Hi, I live in Northern CA. My geraniums are taft. They even bloom in winter, warm CA winter.
Now, I have more color, deep pink and blend white/pink, also red that different of those on the picture. I traded mine with a local geranium lover.
I can send you rooted plants whenever possible. I've grown them from cuttings last winter, hope they are rooted now. Since I did not out color id on it, I have to wait until they bloom, they all have buds, hura.... But, I probably only able to send you cutting for ivy geraniums.
I bought mix seeds from ebay, only two germinated, I just moved them this morning to a better pot. Hope they grow soon and suprise me with the flower. I am waiting to get white flower.
I saw Martha Washington Geranium in walmart last week, but the color is different than mine. Is the one I called hardy geranium is actually geranium, and the rest what I call geranium are pelargonium? I try to ID them right (lol).
I will send you e-mail for address.
Thanks for your response.

Unable to Weed/What's Going to Happen?
I'm to have hip surgery and will not be able to do the chore; I even enjoy weeding, it's like therapy. Albeit I'll be doing
a totally different therapy.
Is It Possible To Let Them Be? I even wonder if I can't do it at all, and have to leave them until frost/winter, will they choke out the perennials?
Or:maybe the winter will just kill them? I've also seen products that spray on lawns, kill the weeds and Do Not Kill the Grass;would that products work on the beds too?
More than worried for my ten years of work on my fleurs of sanity they create for me.
WHAT TO DO??????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jaemy
Ditto what bambooo said. If you can still work in the beds, mulch with pretty much anything organic you can get. The weeds might not kill the perennials you want to keep but there's an old saying, "one years seeds equal seven years weeds." The weeds will produce millions of seeds and give you fits over the next few years. Plus, a well mulched bed will be less likely to suffer from any drought you get this summer.
The herbicides for lawns kill broad leaf plants and most perennials fall into that category. There is at least one herbicide that kills grass but not broad leaf plants. If you use that, be sure to read the label carefully since it's not safe on all ornamental perennials either.
Good luck with your surgery. Maybe you could supervise somebody else doing the weeding this summer. It would be a good learning experience for some young person in your neighborhood or some young family member with a stronger back and hips. Use a stick to point to the "weeds" as opposed to the desirable plants. Lessons in horticulture and experience in caring for others are invaluable.

About this location
The Balearic Islands region
Once thought sacred by Carthaginians, people now make pilgrimages to Ibiza for a very different type of worship. Sun, sand, music and fashion have become the new religion of today's visitors. Originally brought into vogue by the Summer of Love generation, it's mushroomed into one of the world's top spots. Of course, when you think of Ibiza, the nightlife springs to mind.
Forget the cheesy discos that plague other countries – here, you're surrounded by the finest clubs in the world. But there's so much more to this island than dancing 'til dawn. It's packed full of sights like the famous hippy markets, fishing villages, and of, course, the legendary sunsets.
Then there are the beaches. You've got massive stretches of sand all mixed in with hidden coves and rocky cliffs. And with 60 to choose from, you'll be able to find a spot all to yourself. Whether you're a clubber, historian, or a simple sunbather, this place will join you into one nation under a groove.
Sant Jose
Families will enjoy its soft sand beaches and clear blue sea. There's accommodation to suit all tastes, from relaxed family holidays to lively summer breaks. The laid-back atmosphere of cala tarida complements the party vibe of the town, though it's still very convenient for the neighbouring nightlife should you wish to partake.
Skiing Scuba Diving Wind Surfing and Boat hire are all available close to the apartment.
Near by is San Josep which is quaint spanish village.
5 minutes walk to cala tarida beach

ELKO, Nevada — A 36-year-old Elko man originally charged with murder in a fatal shooting on the South Fork Indian Reservation has pleaded guilty instead to involuntary manslaughter.
U.S. District Judge Howard McKibben accepted Joshua Dooley's plea agreement with federal prosecutors during a hearing Wednesday in Reno. He faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at his sentencing May 27.
Prosecutors say the deal was warranted because Dooley acted in the heat of passion in December 2013 when he shot and killed his longtime friend, Jacob Tybo.
They say the two members of the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone had been drinking and arguing over Dooley's girlfriend and a missing cellphone. Tybo pointed a shotgun at Dooley's head before Dooley admitted he grabbed a rifle and shot Tybo in the head.

Tires directly affect and influence any vehicles' braking capability, stability, handling, steering and traction as these are the ones that have direct contact with the road; thus, when tires are defective or fail, these can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and possibly suffer a tragic accident, especially if the vehicle is running at highway speed.
To make sure that vehicles and aftermarket vehicle parts would never cause accidents or would be able to provide enough protection to drivers and passengers if ever an accident occurs, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency of the federal government, has issued the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Regulations. These regulations on safety standards specify the minimum safety performance required on motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts; all manufacturers are called to conform and certify compliance with this regulation, which aims to protect the public "against unreasonable risk of crashes occurring as a result of the design, construction, or performance of motor vehicles," as well as "against unreasonable risk of death or injury in the event crashes do occur." (http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/FMVSS/)
Data from the National Transportation Safety Board indicate close to 11,000 tire-related accidents in the US every year; these accidents leave about 200 dead and 6,000 injured. Some of the identified causes of these accidents include:
- Tire Defects – this may be due to poor manufacturing standards or poor engineering tire design.
- Tread Separation – the result of the tire's belts getting torn apart from one another. This leads to the tread getting detached from the tire while the vehicle is at high speed. Tread separation, which is actually due to manufacturing flaws, like insufficient tire bonding, increases the risk of catastrophic accidents;
- Tire Blowout – usually due to a cut or a puncture in the tire's sidewall which, in turn, is due to a faulty rim that either causes the bead to break or a cut into the sidewall. Tire blowout can also occur because of low or high air pressure in the tire or if the vehicle drives over a sharp object, like a nail.
- Sidewall Zipper Failure – this tire failure is so named due to the zipper pattern that usually appears after tire damage occurs; it is characterized by the tire's sidewall's explosion which can occur while the tire is being inflated.
- Bead Fracture – this is due to the high stress suffered by the bead that has gotten caught on the rim during tire mounting. Bead fracture can result to low-pressure explosions that can end up in very serious injuries, like head injuries, dismemberment or even death.
It is very important that manufacturers produce good tires and that drivers make sure that their vehicle's tires are in good condition, especially before a long drive. While auto manufacturers advise car owners to replace their vehicle's tires every six years, tire manufacturers lengthen the years to 10 (tires wear faster in southern states, though, because of the high temperatures in the region).
According to the website of Pohl & Berk, victims of accidents (due to tire defects) have the right to pursue legal actions against liable parties, as well as receive compensation from them for all the present and future damages they will suffer due to whatever injury they have sustained.
Probation and other Common Sentencing Terms Explained
First-time defendants are often bewildered by how fast things can happen in a courtroom, and they are left wondering if their "suspended" sentence or "probation" is a good thing when brought up on misdemeanor charges such as driving under the influence (DUI) or petty theft. This article briefly explains what some of the more common sentencing terms mean, although if you have a competent criminal defense lawyer representing you, the explanation will be much more in-depth.
"Probation" and "suspended" sentence often go hand in hand. When a judge finds you guilty of a misdemeanor, a jail sentence is imposed. However, there are circumstances where the judge will decide that instead of sending you directly to jail to serve out your sentence, the sentence is "suspended" and you are granted probation terms instead. In effect, the judge is saying that you can avoid going to jail provided you satisfy the conditions of probation such as not getting arrested again for the same offense.
A "suspended" sentence is just that; it's like an axe hanging over your head. If you commit another crime within the probation period or violate any of the terms of your probation, the axe will fall and you will go to jail to serve your sentence.
Probation is usually granted to people who are first-time offenders. Judges tend to be more lenient towards those who have a clean record prior to the charge because the presumption is that it was a mistake that will not be repeated. It's not as good as a dismissal, because you still get a misdemeanor conviction tacked on to your record, but it's better than going to jail. Also, if you complete your probation without trouble, your misdemeanor charge may qualify for expunction. Expunction is basically removing the charge from your record. This is not an easy process, but it can be done with the help of an expunction lawyer.
Obviously, you will want to complete your probation, but if circumstances lead you to violate any of the terms i.e. inability to pay the imposed fine, your lawyer may still be able to argue for reinstatement of your probation by asking for a "dismissed" or "suspended" fine if you do not have the means to pay it. The court may consider to dismiss a fine outright i.e. never collect it or to order other conditions in lieu of the fine i.e. traffic school, thus effectively suspending it until completion of the requisite conditions, at which time the fine is considered no longer collectible.
Don't Get Mad, Get Paid
Divorce can be devastating, but according to the website of the Marshall Taylor Law Firm there are situations in which divorce can be a blessed relief. Infidelity is one of the main reasons for divorce, but there exist circumstances, at least in North Carolina, when your divorce lawyer may instead advise a different legal action first: an alienation of affection lawsuit.
Similar to a personal injury lawsuit, alienation of affection is a common tort law that allows a spouse who has been cheated on to demand compensation from the philandering spouse for it in civil court. It differs from adultery, which is a degree misdemeanor in most states where it is illegal that can include fines and jail time, because there has to be proof of sexual intercourse. With alienation of affection, which is not a crime, the aim is to get compensated for the loss of affection.
In order to qualify for an alienation of affection action in North Carolina, the plaintiff has to basically demonstrate that the marriage was a loving one prior to alienation because of a third party. The complaining spouse (scorned man/woman) can sue that third party for taking away the love and affection of the wayward spouse. In one case, a Raleigh woman married for 33 years sued her husband's girlfriend for alienation of affection and won. She was awarded $9 million in damages. Whether she eventually divorced her husband is not detailed.
Alienation of affection is a centuries-old law that is currently in force in 7 states. Like with any tort, the plaintiff has the burden of proof, and alienation of affection can be difficult to prove. Since North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state, it would be easier to simply file for divorce, but perhaps resulting in much less satisfaction. A divorce lawyer would be invaluable in assisting in such a case.
If your spouse has been unfaithful, your natural reaction is to call it quits. But you can get back at your spouse's paramour before filing for divorce by suing him or her for alienation of affection. Consult with a divorce lawyer in your area about helping you pursue this course of action.
Juvenile Offenses
More than half of the 73.8 million youths in the US in 2012 (who were all under the age of 18) were said to have either already been exposed to crime and violence or suffered abuses in the home, school and/or community. About 35 million have also experienced and sustained injuries from physical assault.
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) revealed that many of these youths have also been charged with criminal acts, like drinking, driving while intoxicated, drug abuse, disorderly conduct, gambling, vagrancy, vandalism, arson, carrying or possession of a deadly weapon, aggravated assault, robbery, rape and other sex crimes, murder, and so forth.
Juvenile crimes are reported to hit the highest point between 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., which is after school hours. About 1.5 million arrests were actually made in 2011 of persons under the age of 18.
Males are the ones more likely to commit crimes, though the number of females being caught has also been increasing steadily.
According to authorities the rise in the number of arrests is simply due to the more zealous and serious efforts of police officers in enforcing the law and not necessarily due to an increase in the number of juvenile offenders. This more concerted effort is aimed at preventing those who are caught from becoming repeat offenders, most of whom usually ending up as regular criminals. Furthermore, those within the age bracket, whether guilty of a crime or not, are made to understand that conviction does not only mean fines and citations – they are also educated on how even one arrest record can affect and damage their future professional lives.
Thus, despite being poor, being affected by problems in the home or school, peer pressure, gang membership, lack of supervision from parents, or exposure to a hostile environment during childhood, committing a crime will always mean punishment (which may include rehabilitation or imprisonment), as well as corrective measures.
The criminal lawyers in Fort Walton, FL, whose website can be found at www.flahertydefensefirm.com, offers vital information on juvenile offenses. The website discusses the different types of offenses a juvenile may be charged with and the legal options available to protect his/her future from possible ruin.
Personal Injury: Accidents Involving Pedestrians
A car collision can cause severe physical injuries to the drivers involved and to the car's other passengers (if there are any); imagine, however, the severity of harm it can cause pedestrians. Without anything to protect them from the forceful impact of an incoming vehicle, an accident will surely not leave a pedestrian unscathed: worst scenario is he/she may either suffer a severe injury or untimely death.
An article on the website of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® airs the same concern, saying that the pedestrian will always be in the losing end; more so if the vehicle involved in the accident is an SUV or a truck as these vehicles' bumpers can be higher than the pedestrian's waist level [studies have shown that when a person is hit by a car (the bumper of which is below the person's waist level), it would lift him/her onto the car's hood; if the vehicle's bumper is above the waist level, though, then the pedestrian can be thrown forward first and then possibly be run over by the vehicle].
Every year, around 70, 000 pedestrians figure in a car accident; about 4, 500 of these are fatal or end in death a few days after the accident. According to the National Safety Council, the greater majority of non-fatal pedestrian accidents happen in urban areas, where the volume of cars and pedestrian activities are always high. Fatal accidents, however, are more frequent in rural areas, where traffic is much lighter, allowing vehicles to run a greater speed; the absence of sidewalks, shoulders (as pedestrian facilities), paths and street lighting at nighttime (for greater visibility of pedestrians) also increase the risk of accidents.
Now, what makes pedestrian safety a concern for everyone? The fact that all Americans use streets and sidewalks longer and more often than driving their car. In fact, being a pedestrian is one thing that all Americans have in common. Besides walking, the description of a pedestrian also applies to joggers or to someone waiting for a cab or the bus at a street corner – it actually refers to anyone who is on foot.
To make streets safer for pedestrians and motorists, some car manufacturers have began introducing accident avoidance technologies in motor vehicles that will give drivers the needed capability to avoid crashing into anything or anyone. Among these modern safety features are the Forward Collision Warning system, the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake, and the Automatic Braking system. While there are features that simply slow down the vehicle to significantly reduce the force of impact (leaving the rest to the driver), there are systems that are capable of fully activating the brakes (without the need for driver input).
Accident avoidance technologies actually use car computers and sensors (radar, laser of video data) to detect any imminent collision with a pedestrian or another vehicle. Not all newly manufactured vehicles, however, are equipped with an accident avoidance technology, thus, one may consider choosing one (when purchasing a vehicle) that is equipped with a safety device.
Regardless of the type of vehicle or the place, if a pedestrian is injured, in any way, by a motorist, then one of the important things he/she ought to consider is seek the help of a Santa Clarita personal injury lawyer. A victim may be entitled to compensatory claims from the liable party/individual, but more often than not, however, it will be necessary to prove the other's liability and support the injury with proper documents – a task that will definitely become easier and more orderly with the assistance of a personal injury attorney based in Santa Clarita.
Criminal Defense – Domestic Violence
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was made into law by the US Congress in 1994. It gave the federal government the power to fight domestic violence, a problem of pandemic proportions in the US and around the world.
Based on the definition of the U. S. Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), domestic violence is a "pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner". This abusive behavior can befall "anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender"; it also takes different forms, including psychological, economic, emotional, verbal, sexual, and (the most common) physical abuse. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_the_United_States)
Battering and abuses tend to worsen overtime, making the experience more traumatic and the effects, much longer lasting. Worst, even children suffer, by being directly harmed too and developing the attitude of tolerating violence or becoming violent as they become adults.
The legal remedies offered by the state and the federal government to battered individuals, however, have provided them hope, making them come to the open and break their silence. With the passing of the laws and making domestic violence (DV) a civil and/or criminal offense, many sexual assaults, stalking, dating violence, and domestic abuses have been prevented and perpetrators charged and convicted. Besides these, there have also been a 51% increase in domestic violence reports and 49.8% reduction in abuses and violent acts by intimate partners.
Criminal prosecution of those charged fall under assault and battery laws, menacing, harassment, or false imprisonment (a tort and a common-law felony due to the act of restraining a person in a restricted area without justification or consent).
Due to the severity of a domestic violence accusation, whether it is true or baseless, it will be wise for the accused to, first and foremost, obey any court order, including refraining from making any contacts with his/her accuser either directly or indirectly (through emails, texts, phone calls or a third party, such as a friend, relative or work colleague – violating this order can result to imprisonment and more difficulty in defending against the accusation). It is, therefore, safest for the accused to keep away from the accuser and to seek a competent lawyer immediately. An Austin criminal lawyer is one specific legal counsel who can help the accused fully understand his/her best options, as well as the nature of the litigation process. The litigation process can be long and complex, so having someone who knows what they're doing on your side when you're accused of a crime can be incredibly beneficial.
Option to act may either involve going to trial to fight the allegations (which can be costly, time consuming and which could result to an unmitigated sentence) or entering a no contest/guilty plea (which can mean more moderate punishments compared to the punishments after a conviction). While the accused is faced with not so favorable options, a criminal defense lawyer will be able to clarify everything and help him or her come up with the most favorable result.
Personal Injury Linked to Airbag Defects
This August 2014, Nissan North America is set to recall 226,326 more its cars (for a total of 664,628 vehicles) due to a defect in the cars' air bag inflators. The inflators, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, were found to be at risk of rupturing when deployed during a crash. These can send metal fragments flying out and cause passengers serious injuries. Besides Nissan, other big car companies, such as Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler and BMW, have also made recalls (in recent years) on certain lines of their cars due to the same problem – faulty air bags.
Years earlier, in 2004, more than 1.4 million recalls were recorded by the NHTSA. These were all due to wiring problems that can make airbags suddenly deploy for no reason at all. An airbag, otherwise known as Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 or FMVSS 208, is designed to provide cushion and protect the driver and occupants from hitting solid objects (like the dashboard, window or steering wheel) inside the car. Airbags, no doubt, are vital in car crashworthiness; but depending on how these have been manufactured and installed, these can either save thousands of lives or injure thousands instead. Three possible reasons for airbag-related injuries include: failure by the manufacturer to install the air bags inside the vehicle; the air bags do not deploy or deploy without cause; and, the airbags deploy despite a low-impact crash only, causing injury or death to the driver or passenger.
The most common cause of harm is due to airbags deploying despite low-impact crashes. This may be because of incorrect installation, the airbag itself was defective or there was no proper safety instruction. In this case, the victim and/or his/her family can file a claims lawsuit, especially if it can be proven that the product was really defective – a clear basis for a product liability lawsuit.
In the event of an injury, which can be linked to an airbag, it will be wise for the victim to immediately seek the assistance of an Appleton personal injury lawyer, who can help determine whether filing a lawsuit against the manufacturer is an action worth pursuing or not.
Personal Injury: Driving Distractions
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were about 6,800 fatal car crashes on US roads during the first quarter of 2014, a 4.9 percent decrease from the 7,150 fatalities recorded during the same time the previous year. Probably good news, but 6,800 is still definitely a very high number, considering the fact that car accidents can easily be prevented . . . if only all drivers will behave the way they should when driving.
The Ausband Firm, through an article posted on its website, gives a clear scenario of the possible consequences of a car crash: bruises and lacerations on different parts of the body; pain and soreness on the chest, neck, legs, arms and back; neck, head or spinal column injury; the need to undergo a surgical procedure to treat an injury; or, untimely death. The firm further explains that victims of negligent, at-fault, drivers may be able to receive compensation which will, somehow, help them go through the pains and the many damages resulting from the injuries.
The most common causes of road injuries and fatalities, based on NHTSA data, include driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI), overspeeding, improper overtaking, tailgating, right-of-way violation (which is failure to recognize others' right on the road), and texting or use of a handheld phone while driving.
Texting while driving is a form of distracted driving, another driving hazard which also includes other acts, like eating and/or drinking, applying makeup, fixing a tie, combing or styling the hair, reading as map for directions, reaching for something, adjusting the radio or any electronic device, and so forth.
Anything that will take one's eyes or mind off the road, or will make one take his/her hand/s off of the steering wheel, is considered distracted driving. And while anyone can be guilty of committing this dangerous driving lapse, young drivers, aged between 18 and 25, are the ones identified to be the guiltiest, especially when it concerns texting or talking on a cell phone while driving.
A surprising research result very recently conducted by a private research firm shows, however, that majority of teen drivers who text or talk on their cell phone while driving have their parents, who are checking on them, at the other end of the line. Many are even left with no other choice but to answer their cell phone, which would not stop ringing until their parents hear their voice.
Regardless of the cause of the driving distraction, result will always entail property damage and/or harm to another individual (another motorist or a pedestrian). It is important that victims seek the help of Wisconsin personal injury lawyers to make sure that all things necessary for a personal injury case to prosper are acquired, that the case is filed properly and all evidences are in order. All these are to enable the victims to merit the compensation they legally deserve.
Employment Contract: An Important Consideration for Business Owners
After getting everything ready for your business to finally kick off or if your company has been around for some time, is doing good business and requires additional manpower, the basic question is always, "who to hire?"
With regard to hiring the right persons and landing them in the right position, this is no longer a worry to many firms, such as WorkSTEPS, Inc., a functional employment testing firm, which started in the early 1990s. WorkSTEPS, Inc. allows a business to focus on running its business for greater productivity; it also directs a firm's focus on further developing the skills of its well-chosen employees instead of sorting through a bulk of application forms in the hope of finding someone who would be a perfect fit in the business.
It is the work of a functional employment testing firm to effectively identify an employee's or applicant's qualifications, strengths, skills, and physical and mental capabilities, to enable employers to match them with the right position. For companies that acquired the services of functional employment testing firms, what followed were substantial reduction in workplace injuries, group health costs, workers' compensation premium and employee turnover, and a significant improvement in worker productivity and even workplace safety.
After identifying the right employee comes a business owner's greater concern – the employment contract, which can be unique from one employee to another; this depends, of course on the specific type of work and the employee's overall qualification or expertise.
While there is still the traditional written contract that an employee needs to sign, for formality and legality, there are also cases, like in smaller companies, when employers and employees simply agree orally with regard to the kind of work the employees will perform, the duration of the work, the amount of pay and the benefits that the employees will and can enjoy.
Preparing an employment contract is never an easy task, though, as it needs to ensure that no laws are violated and that both employer and employee will benefit from the terms of employment. While WorkSTEPS, Inc., with web address, www.worksteps.com, can take care of finding the right people that will satisfy employers' requirements and standards, Cedar Rapids business lawyers can take care of the contents of the employment contract which employers are willing to provide and which the hired employees will find greatly interesting and inviting. These contents, besides the employment date, salary, and benefits, can also include vacation and sick leave, health benefits, grievance procedures, and employee behavior after the end employment, among others.
Cosmetic Procedures – Eyelid Surgery
"The eyes are the windows of the soul!" A wise saying, indeed, for the eyes cannot lie. But there is probably no better way of attesting to the truth of this famous adage than to have beautiful eyes.
Not everyone, however, is pleased with the way their eyes look. For some, have drooping eyelids, sagging eyebrows, puffy eyes, or bags under the eyes make them feel like they appear to be always tired and worn out. It could also be wrinkles, fine lines, crow's feet, or dark circles around the eyes that those affected would obviously want to remove.
The good news is, there is a cosmetic procedure that can treat anyone whatever his/her eye concern is. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the area surrounding the eyes, treating functional problems due to the eyelids, or simply improving one's appearance.
In 2012, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recorded about 204,000 eyelid surgeries in the US, a small fraction of the more than 12 million surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed by licensed or board-certified surgeons and dermatologists (not counting those performed by unlicensed dermatologists in Medspas).
Blepharoplasty is performed to specifically treat excess skin and/or fine wrinkles at the lower eyelid, drooping lower eyelids, bags under the eyes, fatty deposits that make the eyelids look puffy, and sagging or loose skin that affects the upper eyelid's natural contour, which often causes vision impairment.
For really astonishing looks, cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists also recommend any of the Iowa cosmetic surgery processes, such as laser skin resurfacing, botox, microdermabrasion, permanent make-up or chemical peel, to go with the eyelid surgery. Besides beautiful eyes and years off from facial skin for a youthful and smoother face, the procedures (depends on which is undergone), can also remove or greatly reduce acne, freckles, acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, black heads, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and/or nasolabial folds or the creases that run from the corners of the nose down to the mouth.
And while going through any of the added treatments, there is another important factor that needs high consideration – having an equally beautiful smile. And the best way to have it is by having white, healthy teeth.
For a really great smile, leave the job to the expert – your Austin dentist. There are now various kinds of treatments offered by your Austin dentist, whether to provide you with oral care or to make your teeth perfectly clean and shiny – making a perfect match with your beautiful face. There are dental cosmetic procedures, like veneers, teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, sealants, full mouth rejuvenation, and so forth.
While it is true that the eyes are the windows of your soul, it is also true that a smile is the common language of all souls. So, what will stop you from being beautiful . . . inside and out?

To: Mayor and Members of the Council
From: Andrew Neiditz, City Manager>
- Lakewood Senior Center Open House: This week's open house was attended by about 130 people, and about 20 vendors, including a number of senior and social service agencies, had information booths at the event. Over 26 senior volunteers also participated. It was a very positive acknowledgment of the new center at the new location and the City's role in continuing the senior center operation.
- West-side Communities Leadership Summit: The session on May 24th at University Place City Hall was attended by about 70 participants, including elected representatives from Lakewood, UP, Tacoma, Steilacoom, DuPont, Fircrest and Pierce County Five members of the Lakewood Council attended, including the mayor and city manager. Panel discussions covered the issues of transportation, economic development, and public safety.
- Lakewood University Wrap Up: The Cityheld its third session of Lakewood University on May 10th and 17th. This most recent session was attended by approximately 40 citizens, most of who had never before participated in the program. The two-night program featured presentations from most of the Departments including Police, Parks & Recreation, Economic Development and Finance. For the first time, the program also included presentations by the Lakewood Fire District and Lakewood Water District. Lakewood University has been well received and those citizens who have attended were appreciative of the opportunity to learn more about their City. After each session, every "student" is asked to provide feedback on the program, which has been consistently positive. The most popular presentations this time were Water District, Police and Economic Development. The number one suggestion for future session is to allow more time for questions and more time for presentations. Since we began offering this unique program, about 150 citizens have "graduated" from Lakewood University.
- McChord Tudor Haus community debrief for double homicide: Police conducted a Community Debrief was held on May 18th at Ponders Landmark Café in reference to the Double Homicide at the McChord Tudor Haus Apartments. 16 community members attended, and an overview of the homicide was conducted by Officer Figueroa, who also answered participants' questions. A positive outcome was that new community members, including the Latino population of the apartment complex, came to the meeting. Language translation services were provided, and the meeting was interactive. Four citizens expressed interest in being block watch co-captains at two different locations.

Fluorescents for vegetables.
I'm growing some vegetables but none will need to flower or fruit, just leaves. After reading a million posts my conclusion is to use standard fluorescent fixtures (4 ft). The question for you guys is what size is best? I'm looking for cost efficiency but still good growing power. T-5's T-8's T-12's? Thanks for the help
T5's will be the most efficient, but T8's are easier to find and much cheaper so they will give you the most bang for your buck. T12's are on their way out as the more efficient T8's replace them.
I'd also try to find a fixture that has a reflector which wraps all the way around the sides of the bulbs. This will ensure that all your light is being directed downwards towards the plants. Other fixtures may have a small reflector or no reflector at all in order to spread the light over an entire room.
And for bulbs, you'll want anything that says daylight, which should have a color temperature around 5000-6500K. If you can't find those, a lot of people also have luck with cool white bulbs, which are typically around 4000K.
I am using four t8 32s 4100k bulbs in a 1'x4' area. There is plenty of light for lettuce and bock choy. I start to harvest Buttercrunch in 4 weeks. I needed more light for Swiss chard I think it is because of the height of the plants. It grew but was slow and thin. now I use more light on them. I use multiple cfl's to concentrate the light in a 2'x2' square.
Curt~ Got to love it!
These forums make this stuff way to easy! Imagine having to make trial runs on purchasing fluorescent light fixtures!
thanks y'all!
A link to my blog is below and you should see the lights up in a couple days... if your interested
Here is a link that might be useful: Grow Your Own
I don't have a lot of space or plants, but I am growing from seed. Do my veggies have to have light indoors?
I'm also on a limited budget. How's this?
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Light Option
These bulbs below work very well for us. Philips Alto daylight can be found at Home depot and I believe I seen them at Lowes. The fixtures I used had mirror wrap around reflectors. I have a realative that has a sign business.
He has self gluing reflective mirror material on rolls 32" wide I believe. This material would work very well if you can't find mirror reflective fixtures.
85 CRI/6500K (CRI>Color Rendering Index and K stands for Kelvin, a measure of color temperature) fluorescent strips..from Home depot around $7 for two.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mom's Garden
Wordwiz, you were right. I did some looking around at HD and found lots of fixtures, bigger fixtures for a lot less money.
If I go with them, what's the best way to suspend them? (Short on space)
Also, will any old 40 watt fluorescent light do? I think I'm making this harder than it should be. lol.
Go to Wally World (Wal-Mart) and pick up a shop light. $12-15. They come with short chains (usually), if not go to your fav hardware store, pick up a couple of screw-in U-type screws and some cheap chain, along with a couple of S hooks (unless you have paper clips - the bigger ones work just as well.
Seriously, KISS works great!

Le Stanze del Vicere' B&B reviews
- December 2010
- Venere Guest
- Couple
We stayed one night. Given the glowing reviews I had read, I was disappointed with the room since it was a typical small European room with a bed, desk and small night tables. Not even large enough for a side chair. As I had completed a prepaid online booking for a "deluxe double", I told the proprieter who greeted us that I was expecting a nicer room. He said it was the only one available because it was a last minute booking (the "hotel" is really a B&B and has only 6 rooms). He offered to switch us to a room that was not made up, but as it was directly on the front entrance and not appreciably any better than the room we had, we opted not to switch. We were directly on a main hall (as all the rooms are) and we could hear the conversations of everyone walking past. The hotel's breakfast room is nice with two comfortable couches so we opted to go there to read after we got back from dinner. Breakfast was okay by European standards, two kinds of cake, juice, fresh fruit, one kind of cheese and croissants/rolls. Proprieter made coffee/cappucino/tea to order. I guess you get what you pay for so I can't complain about the value for the money (we paid 80 euro for the "deluxe double" with breakfast) but if you are looking for privacy or luxury I would spend a little more and go somewhere else.

The R word recruiting has plagued Skyline
Jason Olson, Deseret Morning News
Trailing by four touchdowns to Alta, the Skyline Eagles head coach Roger Dupaix called a timeout late in the fourth quarter. He walked onto the field and stood among a group of anxious boys holding hands, waiting for word on how to score against a stifling defense.
"Boy, this is something, isn't it?" Dupaix said, looking at the scoreboard. The players relaxed, smiled, and then he delivered the play. "We've got some work to do, so let's play football. Let's have some fun."
Final score: Alta 45, Skyline 10.
This is uncharted territory for Skyline football and its legendary coach.
There are visible cracks in the dynasty. For whatever reason, the usual in-season patching hasn't held. The Skyline Eagles are hanging by a talon.
Skyline's struggles this season are notable only because of its past successes. The Dupaix era has seen seven 5A state championships over 19 years. Add these to Skyline's previous six football championships, and it's easy to see why the rest of the Utah prep football masses aren't bothering to hide their glee. Goliath is on the ropes.
Dupaix never expected to find himself at the helm of a football dynasty.
"To be honest, I'm surprised we've won so consistently. I'm surprised there haven't been more years like this . . . . We've lost four straight, but we're going to come out tomorrow and work hard, study film and turn this love boat around," Dupaix said. "I just need to be more positive."
A decade earlier, Dupaix made a similar trip onto the field during a timeout in the final seconds of the 1995 state championship game.
"We scored a touchdown making it 12-14, so we had to go for a two-point conversion," Jackson Peck recalls. "In the huddle, we were so nervous, there was an energy, and we were all so excited, just squeezing each other's hands. We just wanted to know the play. We looked at him waiting and wondering what genius he had in store for us.
"He stood in front of us and looked up into the stands to the left, and then he looked to the right. We were jumping up and down with excitement. Then he looks at us and says, 'It's a pretty nice night to play football, don't you think?' "
Then Dupaix called the play and they tied the game against Fremont. The Eagles eventually won in overtime, but it was Dupaix's ability to keep his calm at that moment that still impresses Peck.
"Roger keeps everything in perspective. Football is such an emotional game, and the thing he does is take the emotion out of it," said Peck, now an assistant Skyline football coach.
"I fumbled the ball two out of the first three touches I had," Peck said. "He (Dupaix) didn't say a word to me. He'd just pat me on the back and tell me to get the next one."
Besides his steely calm demeanor, Dupaix is also renown among his peers for his ability to alter offensive schemes to accentuate the strengths of his current players. His assistants believe at least some of his effectiveness lies in his ability to collaborate, listen and especially delegate responsibility without second-guessing or micromanaging.
But Dupaix is only the most recent of Skyline's stewards.
"Skyline had the tradition before I got here," Dupaix said. "The tradition, the motivation to do well, all made my job easier."
"H.G. Linford (Skyline's first coach) set the standard," said defensive coordinator Steve Marshall, who won a state championship with the Eagles as a player in 1969. "That's when we began to shave our heads. It showed whether you really wanted to be a Skyline football player. In those days it was an easy way to cut. If you didn't cut your hair, you didn't get a uniform."

Data's growing contribution to mobile revenue is part of du's push to focus more on increasing earnings per-customer rather than on expanding mobile market share.
October 22, 2012 5:46 by Reuters
Du, the United Arab Emirates' No.2 telecom operator, aims to capitalise on wealthy customers' appetite for data via smartphones to offset margin pressures in its mobile phone business that held back third quarter profit growth.
The firm on Monday posted a 34 percent rise in profits for the three months to September 30, but this fell short of analysts' forecasts.
Du, which ended rival Etisalat's domestic monopoly in 2007, made a third quarter net profit of 326.9 million dirhams ($89.00 million), compared with 244.3 million dirhams in the year-earlier period.
Analysts polled by Reuters on average forecast du would make a quarterly profit of 333.3 million dirhams.
The UAE's telecom sector as a whole is experiencing a slowing in revenue growth due to the country's largely foreign workforce increasing use of internet-based services, hurting operators' lucrative international call and text businesses.
"We continue to witness pressure on voice, while mobile data revenue increased significantly," Chief Executive Osman Sultan told reporters on a conference call.
Third-quarter mobile data revenue nearly doubled to 323 million dirhams from a year ago. This was 17 percent of total mobile revenue, which rose 13 percent to 1.94 billion.
"I wish to see it (mobile data) in the 25 percent range at the end of next year," Sultan said.
Data's growing contribution to mobile revenue is part of du's push to focus more on increasing earnings per-customer rather than on expanding mobile market share.
To achieve this, du will try to up the proportion of mobile customers on post-paid monthly contracts to more than 10 percent by 2013-end, from 8 percent as of Sept. 30. These customers are typically wealthier and spend more on telecom services.
The operator had 5.96 million mobile subscribers on Sept. 30, adding 227,800 in the quarter.
This gave it a 47.2 percent share of the UAE's mobile subscribers, up from 46.5 percent in the second quarter.
Quarterly revenue was 2.52 billion dirhams. This compares with 2.23 billion dirhams a year ago.
Du also aims to increase revenue from business customers and home services, but its failure to agree a network sharing deal with Etisalat to allow full competition for fixed line services and the lack of mobile number portability (MNP) could hinder this.
Both operators offer fixed-line voice, broadband and television services but not in the same districts and an agreement to share their respective infrastructure was due to be concluded last year.
"It's a difficult discussion," said Sultan. "This is taking more time than expected. It's not happening for the moment."
MNP allows customers to switch operator and retain their old phone number, which is seen as key for business customers. In 2007, the UAE regulator said it would introduce MNP the following year, but has yet to do so.
"The introduction of mobile number portability will help," added Sultan.
Du's net profit margin was 25.9 percent in the third quarter, up from 21.9 percent a year ago.
The firm's shares ended 1.3 percent lower after the results were announced. The stock is up nearly 30 percent so far this year.
