5 ways to avoid getting a DUI on Labor Day
Take steps to get home safe if drinking this weekend
By attorney Bill Umansky, Special to THELAW.TV
It is the end of sweet summertime and the fall breeze is approaching. However, one weekend still remains to celebrate the end of a hopefully great summer: Labor Day weekend.
Parties, BBQs, picnics and family time are all the name of the game and alcohol is usually part of the festivities. Don't ruin the final hours of summer and the rest of the year by making a foolish mistake and getting arrested for driving under the influence.
Following are five successful ways you can avoid the nightmare trip down to the jail:
1. Appoint a designated driver and plan before you leave home.
Before leaving for your destination, typically everyone meets before to pre-game. Apart from concocting drinks, this is the time to label the designated driver. Never wait until you already arrived at your destination to appoint the designated driver because this will only end in a bar fight of who refuses to do it. Sometimes there is that friend who will immediately takes the responsibility of being the designated driver. But, we all know that sometimes this friend drinks regardless of their promise to stay sober. Before you leave your home, make sure the designated driver understands that they are taking an oath to keep their life safe and your life safe.
2. Know what is in your mixed drink and how much liquor the bartender is pouring.
Mixed drinks are difficult to keep track of because some bartenders may be more generous than others. There are times when it's night out on the town with your friends and the bartender takes note of this event. Instead of pouring the required amount for the mixed drink, he or she adds some extra alcohol to spice it up. Although this could be seen as a giving act of kindness, when you are the designated driver or expected to drive home this is something to look out for. Don't let this happen to you one an otherwise fun Labor Day.
3. Know your limit and know the time.
Many people can recall an experience of some sort when one margarita turned into four margaritas and soon enough it's difficult to walk. Physicians recommend the consumption rate of alcohol is one drink per hour and the legal limit in most states is 0.08 percent. On the website Blood Alcohol Calculator you can calculate a personal blood alcohol level to see which type of alcohol, and how much of each type, you can consume while still falling under the legal limit. Also be sure to set a limit of what time you plan to stop drinking and what time you plan to leave your destination. Setting these limits are the first step. The second and most important step is committing to stop drinking at a certain time and giving yourself enough time to sober up before you drive. When it's five-o'clock somewhere, there is also someone out there getting arrested for a DUI. Don't let that person be you.
4. Water goes great with alcohol.
Water is unlimited and it's usually free. Physicians recommend that after each alcoholic beverage is consumed, a glass of water follows after. Don't be shy to the fact that by the time you are already intoxicated, water cannot save you. Remember to drink water as you go through each alcoholic beverage.
5. Taxi cabs are here.
When the excuse is "taxis are too expensive," my first thought is "Have you seen the fees for a DUI charge or a lawyer?" Although taxis may not be a favored option, they are easily accessible and safe. I'm sure almost everyone can remember a funny story of a cab ride they once had. A funny cab ride story is definitely better than a DUI story. Go online or on your smart-phone and lookup the app UBER. It's used in more than 40 cities and 15 countries. This app uses on-demand services to find a driver locally and keeps you from getting a DUI.
The author, William Umansky, is a criminal defense attorney in Orlando, Fla. If you follow his advice this Labor Day weekend, you won't need to visit his office after the holiday.

Comments On May 30, 2013:Well, as I was riding my chain broke and almost cracked my case when it came whiping around. I figured the smart thing to do would be to purchase this case guard. It looks good on the bike and hopefully functions great if my chain were to break again. A little on the pricey side for what its intended to do but would hopefully save me from buying another case if my chain were to break off again.

The Aiken branch of the American Association of University Women is gearing up for its wildly-popular fundraiser, the annual Books 'N Things Fair.
The fair will be held March 1 and 2 in the old CVS space in Kalmia Plaza on Richland Avenue.
Now in its 43rd year, the fair offers a cornucopia of items for sale, including a variety of hardcover and paperback books, VHS tapes, DVDs, audiobooks, kitchen items, holiday and seasonal items, jewelry, toys and puzzles, and more.
The sale venue will be open beginning Jan. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays for donations of gently used books, music, movies and household items except clothing and computers for the Attic Treasures sale section.
"This year we are not accepting magazines because we've had to scale back on space. We don't have enough space for it. We are also not taking computers, TVs, printers or clothes," said organizer Pam Leitz. "Anything else we'd love to have."
The selection of items has proved to be tremendous in the past, with donations estimated in the neighborhood of 70,000 books.
The turnout has been tremendous in the past, as well.
Volunteers typically arrive at 8 a.m. on the morning of the sale to prepare for the 9 a.m. opening.
"There are people lined up at the door," Leitz said. "When we open the doors on the first day, it's like gangbusters. It's so good to see people get excited about books and reading."
The money raised by the fair funds scholarships to USC Aiken and Aiken Technical College. Funds have also been donated in the past to Public Education Partners and GED programs.
"We can't do this without the support of the community," Leitz said.
The association's Books 'N Things Fair is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 1 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 2 at the former CVS location in Kalmia Plaza.
Those interested in volunteering can call Leitz at 642-7858 for details.
Want to go?
When: Donations will be accepted on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning on Jan. 26. The sale will be held on March 1 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and March 2 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: Former CVS in Kalmia Plaza

Been a while since the last one, according to my search, so just curious how the different codecs are doing these days in terms of popularity.
My vote goes to Ogg Vorbis. I will not claim I can hear a difference between a High Quality-MP3 and the newer codecs, but it's nontheless good to know that the latest listening tests have indicated that Ogg Vorbis is still playing at top with the best of them. So, since most of us don't really hear a difference between the good codecs, at least if we're talking medium bitrates and above, the choice depends on other things than audio quality. For me, the reason to use Vorbis, rather than say MP4, is mostly that Vorbis is free as in both beer and speech. We've been provided this excellent codec for free as a service to the people, by the people, so I make sure to join the good karma. Plus, it's also very easy to both obtain and use, which cannot always be said about the competitors (download and buy nero anyone?). |

I use MPC mainly because they don't like people having mp3's on our HDs at work! I have more than 10 Gigs worth of music on my HD at work, all MPC.

Latos, Darvish take center stage in Texas showdown
Reds ace eyes series win; Japanese hurler winless since May 16
On Sunday, the Rangers will look to cap off the first series of a nine-game homestand the right way by winning a rubber match against the Reds. Meanwhile, Cincinnati just hopes to salvage something from what has so far been a nightmarish eight-game road trip before heading home.
In the first seven games of the trip, the Reds have gone 2-5. They dropped two of three against the D-backs before getting swept in two games by the A's and splitting the first two against the Rangers. Cincinnati fell from second to third in the National League Central while on the road, and the club's 4 1/2-game deficit is its largest of the season.
If the Reds want to end their road trip on a positive note, right-handed starter Mat Latos is a good guy to have on the mound. Latos enters the series finale equipped with a 7-1 record and a 3.05 ERA in 16 starts. Although he hasn't been sharp every time out, Latos has kept Cincinnati in games, giving up more than four earned runs just once this season.
The last start for Latos was also the only win for the Reds on their current road trip before they beat the Rangers in extras on Saturday. Latos surrendered one run on six hits and two walks against the D-backs last Sunday, tying a career high with 13 strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings. Although he was happy to fan so many batters, Latos said that's not necessarily the goal.
"When you strike out a lot of people, you throw a lot of pitches," Latos said. "It would have been great to go all nine [innings] and not strike out 13."
Yu Darvish will start opposite Latos on Sunday. Since his last win on May 16, Darvish is 0-2 with a 2.93 ERA and has lost or taken a no-decision in a career-long seven straight games. The day after giving up a career-high three homers to the Yankees, Darvish threw a bullpen session on Thursday, and manager Ron Washington said the 26-year-old right-hander needs to make some adjustments.
Darvish had a discussion with pitching coach Mike Maddux after his bullpen session, but the details of that talk and the potential changes were not disclosed.
"I always make adjustments in each game," Darivsh said. "We talked, but it was nothing special."
Reds: Cueto back to DL, Ondrusek called up
• For the third time this season, the Reds placed ace Johnny Cueto on the 15-day disabled list after he felt tightness in his right lat muscle in the second inning of Friday's loss to the Rangers.
"It's very disheartening," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "I know he was so close to being himself. He's worked hard. I just hope we can come up with a solution."
Cueto's last two trips to the DL were for a similar injury. Like he has each of the previous two times, left-hander Tony Cingrani will fill the spot in the rotation left by Cueto's absence.
The Reds also called up reliever Logan Ondrusek from Triple-A Louisville. Ondrusek made 21 appearances and went 2-0 with a 5.64 ERA the last time he was brought up from April 10-June 8. Ondrusek said he needs to work on his consistency, which has been good during his time with Louisville, as he hasn't allowed a run in eight innings covering six appearances.
"It's been going all right," Ondrusek said. "I'm throwing the ball well and trying to stay as consistent as possible."
• With an RBI single in the top of the third on Saturday, Brandon Phillips snapped a team streak of 0-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
Rangers: Berkman's status for Sunday uncertain
Lance Berkman sat out for a second straight game on Saturday with a sore right knee, which he injured as he slipped getting off the team plane on Thursday.
Washington didn't bother asking Berkman how he felt and wasn't overly confident about him returning to action on Sunday.
"[Berkman] can't be sore and come in here tomorrow ready to play," Washington said. "I haven't talked to the doctors yet. He's not going to have that miraculous recovery. Tomorrow may be a different story."
Washington said, with a day game on Sunday, he might also give catcher A.J. Pierzynski a break in the series finale.
"If he wants to play, I'm going to play A.J. If he doesn't give me any hassle, I'm putting [Geovany] Soto in there," Washington said. "Knowing A.J., he'll probably want to play tomorrow because he wants to see what this heat is we've been talking about."
Worth noting
• In 12 career starts against the American League, Latos is 6-2 with a 4.03 ERA.
• At 47-34, the Rangers are tied with the 1979 club for the fourth-best record at the halfway mark in franchise history.
• The Rangers have won five of their last six against the National League. Saturday marked their first home loss in Interleague Play this season.
• Darvish has never faced the Reds in the regular season, but he did see them in Spring Training this year, when he gave up two homers, including a deep blast by Joey Votto.

The Ignacio High School girls basketball team had twice as many steals as Mancos had points.
The Bobcats nabbed 32 steals off of the Bluejays to win the San Juan Basin League game "pretty handily" – 56-16 on Saturday night at IHS.
"Everybody got to play and just was a good day," IHS head coach Justa Whitt said.
Sky Cotton led the Bobcats with nine steals. Michelle Simmons grabbed eight and Cloe Seibel five.
"Our guard front was working (Saturday night)," Whitt said.
The turnovers translated into points for plenty of Bobcats.
Seibel led all scorers with 15 points, and Cotton added 10. Jordan Cuthair and Gabs Garcia each scored seven, and Simmons had six.
"Overall we just had a good game," Whitt said.
The Bobcats (10-7, 5-1 SJBL) will play another league game at 5 p.m. Saturday at Telluride.
IHS will host Norwood in its regular-season finale Feb. 23.
Whitt said Telluride barely has nicked the Bobcats the last couple of years.
"So that's kind of on my list for a good win up there," Whitt said.
"I'm going to have them pumped up."

Sister Quotes and Sayings for sisterhood
Sisters share childhood memories & grown up dreams.
Sister is our first friend and second mother.
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
– Margaret Mead
People come and go, friends change like the weather but I know my sister is here forever. I love you.

Sisters share childhood memories & grown up dreams.
Being a big sister is to love your brother, even if he does not want it or love you in return.
A sister in a friend will come and go but a friend in a sister will always remain.
– Leslie Ngak
I never try to make anyone my best friend because I already have one and she is my sister.
I love you, you were there for me, you protected me, and most of all, you loved me. We'd fight, scream, and argue, but, under it all, is a love. That only exists, in a brother, and a sister.
Sister. Do we know the meaning of this word sister? I do, a sister is one who sits besides you, guides you, wipes your tears. And a common answer from everyone. But sisters are mother presented to us. They care for us more than parents and of course a well hearted person to be with. Never miss a change to be a younger sister to your neighbors, cousins and to your own one.
A sis is like a guardian angel. She protects you from harm. She helps you. She gives advice. She's always by your side. And she's the only one in the world who can't forget you.
Never say you love being an only child cause when you and your sis grow up & when she will be gone and you will feel like how it feels being an only child all of these years wishing you never had one.
A sister is always there for you no matter what you are going through. And if she yells at you or gets mad it's because she cares about you and she is just trying to keep you on the right track. They are right behind you no matter where you are at to kick you in your butt to keep on going. My sissy has helped me through the hard times and was there for the good times. I love my sissy always and forever.
A sister is God's way of proving he doesn't want us to walk alone.
Sister is the one who sometimes makes you angry but later gives you long lasting laugh.
I'll like you forever and love you always as long as I'm living. My sister you'll be!
I love my sisters. I am their sissy forever.
A sister is at your side no matter what you did. A sister is not by blood but by God.
Sisters are the greatest invention of God.
A sister is the best gift and you can't let go or get rid of it.

Online ticket bookings
Tickets can be purchased online through Oper Frankfurt's own webshop or Eventim. Tickets can be booked worldwide, right up until the day of the performance. You can choose your seat from the opera house's seating plan. If there is not enough time for your tickets to be sent to you they will be waiting for you at the concierge desk in the entrance foyer. Tickets sent by post incur an additional charge of € 3. The charge is independent from the number of tickets you have ordered, so there is only one charge if you have ordered one ticket or twenty tickets. By choosing "Ticketdirect" you can print out the ticket/s you have purchased at home, saving money on postage. Self printed tickets do not give you the right to travel free to and from the performance on RMV (Rhein-Mainischer Verkehrsverbund) public transport in and around Frankfurt. It is hoped that this will be made possible at a later stage if the RMV can come up with a way of making this fraud-free. More information about how it works under online booking .
Evening box office
Opens one hour before the performance begins.

This article comes primarily because of two reasons -
1. India's growing relations with bangladesh ( & hence the unnecessary reference for border killings)
2. Russians getting into the scene ( probably with Indian felicitation)
For all the sustained negative campaign. Bangladesh is set to grow. It is going to be an example of a muslim nation that is democratic, progressive & increasingly secular.
Meanwhile britain & US can continue having fun with there poster boy - pakistan
"Secular" in no way relates to a "Muslim" Muslim and Muslim nation worth the non-sectarian values. Don't believe in caste creed or any other sectarian hatred. "Secularism" spilled out from Britain and France. Once France had had been administered by the Priests of the Churches and people suffered tyranny all along and fomented France revolution. After the revolution, priest of Paris and others lost power and the public government never patronize churches, that is called secularism. No Imam of mosque ever administered any state in Muslim world. In Britain, the Queen is the head of churches, but Britons are non sectarian like Americans who are more and more liberal. Better to be a true non sectarian Muslim rather than a secularist. Modern secularists treat Muslims with derision and satirize the Prophet.

A classy, smart, and fun lady who holds the key to a man's heart. Strong and self-reliant, and at the same time beautiful, she is kind to those who need a hand. Typically possessing a keen sense of humor, a Jessums is capable of inducing great amounts of happiness to the individual of her choice, and is therefore highly prized by the man who loves her. A Jessums often spurs infatuation in her male partner. She uses her natural charm and attractiveness to create bliss and joy in those who behold her. The most remarkable trait of a Jessums is her humility and accompanying inability to perceive her own beauty and excellence. Meeting a Jessums is a once-in-lifetime opportunity to find the key to happiness.

NeoSport ION Triathlon Race Suit
The NeoSport ION racing suit is an awesome addition to our triathlon department, and what a sweet deal! The ION is designed to stay on through all 3 events, which will greatly reduce transition times if you are currently changing clothes after the swim portion of a race. Constructed of a low drag compression material, the ION dries fasts, breathes really well, and wicks moisture from the skin. A synthetic chamois crotch area dries very fast, and is low profile for the run. The ION also offers UV 50+ protection from the sun.
*Designed to be worn under any wetsuit for the swim, but can be worn alone for non wetsuit legal events (functions as a swim skin)
