Injured in an Accident Caused by an Intoxicated Driver in Washington?
In Washington State, 42% of all fatal motor vehicle crashes involve a driver that was under the influence of alcohol. In 2009, 206 people in Washington State lost their lives in drunk driving crashes. In Washington State there is a sharp increase in the number of drunk driving incidents near major holidays.
Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of motor vehicle collisions. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), 10,228 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes in the United States in 2010. This figure represents 31% of all traffic incident deaths. More than 500,000 Americans are injured in drunken driving crashes each year.
There is Nothing Accidental About a 'Drunk Driving Accident'
Like our friends at Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), at Davis Law Group we believe that there is no such thing as a 'drunk driving accident'. Drunken driving collisions result from carelessness or deliberate dangerous driving (under the influence of alcohol), not from circumstances beyond the control of the at-fault driver. Car crashes that are caused by a drunk driver are entirely avoidable.
Unfortunately there are still irresponsible people who will get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol. It seems that no matter how tough drunk driving laws may be, drunk driving collision victims continue to suffer at the hands of people who just don't think that drunk driving is serious. There are few words that can express the anger and emotion people feel when they're injured by a car driven by a drunk driver or by a driver under the influence of drugs.
Civil vs. Criminal Proceedings: Lawsuits Against Drunk Drivers Who Cause Car Accidents
Impaired drivers who cause drunk driving accidents may face both criminal and civil court proceedings.
Criminal proceedings are designed to punish the offender for breaking the law and to protect the public by acting as a deterrent against impaired driving. Driving drunk can result in criminal prosecution even if there was no accident and/or no one was injured.
Civil proceedings against an impaired driver typically come in the form of a claim or lawsuit against the drunk driver for injuries caused by the drunk driving collision. Fatal drunk driving crashes can result in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of the victim. In many cases a civil suit may be the only way to recover damages such as medical treatment costs, lost wages, damaged property, other economic damages and pain and suffering.

Davis Law Group Is Proud To Support Washington State Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
Attorney Chris Davis is serious about helping victims and survivors of drunk driving get justice while trying to help eliminate drunk driving crashes in Washington State. Chris' wife Mischelle Davis is one of the leading volunteers in Washington State MADD. She drove the effort to establish the first Walk Like MADD fundraising event in Seattle in 2011.
In 2012 she attended MADD's National Conference in Washington DC where she was invited to be a speaker to share her experience with other MADD chapters and accept the MADD Chapter of the Year award on behalf of Washington State.
Mischelle is also one of the founding members of MADD's Washington State Advisory Board. The board provides leadership and strategic guidance to the local state chapter. The board helps determine how to best implement programs and services to broaden MADD's operation and funding base and increase capacity through the building of partnerships in Washington State.
Each year the attorneys, paralegals and support staff at Davis Law Group form a walking team for Washington State Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)'s Walk Like MADD fundraising event. Once again as in 2011, 2012 and 2013 our law firm's 2015 Walk Like MADD team took the top prize for the most money raised by a business or corporation.
See the 2011 SPECIAL MADD EDITION and the 2012 SPECIAL MADD EDITION of the Davis Law Group Newsletter.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in Washington State
Founded by a mother who lost her daughter in a crash, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is the nation's largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking. The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking. Washington State has a MADD chapter with victim advocates that are ready to provide drunk driving crash victims and their families with the emotional support that they need. MADD welcomes donations that support awareness campaigns and educational programs in our local area.
Drunk Driving Laws In Washington State
Washington State Drunk Driving Law
Washington State law provides that the drivers on the road have the duty to not operate a motor vehicle when under the influence of alcohol. See RCW 46.61.502. A DUI arrest in Washington means license suspension, jail time, and up to $5,000 in fines and fees. You may be ordered to install and pay for a device (called an ignition interlock) that won't allow your car to start if you have any alcohol in your system. The court can order you to pay for and attend alcohol or drug treatment.
Washington State Dram Shop Law
Dram shop laws make it possible for bar owners and alcohol servers to be held financially liable if a customer becomes obviously intoxicated on their premises and subsequently injures someone or causes property damage, typically by driving drunk. Washington State law forbids the selling of alcohol 'to any person apparently under the influence of liquor.' See RCW 66.44.200(1).
Washington State's 'Drive Hammered-Get Nailed' Program
Washington State Patrol helps to enforce the Washington Traffic Safety Commission's "Drive Hammered-Get Nailed" campaign to catch drunk drivers. This program puts many more DUI task forces out on Washington streets, roads, and highways throughout the state between mid-August and early September. The idea is to catch more drunk drivers during the days and weeks surrounding Labor Day weekend in order to stop the drunk driver before they do any damage to themselves or others.
Tie One On For Safety Campaign
To raise awareness the Washington State chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is working with a number of law enforcement agencies and first responders in Washington State that will be placing red ribbons on fleet vehicles to remind drivers not to drive drunk this holiday season, and every day of the year.
Washington State's Crime Victims Compensation Fund
Washington State provides financial assistance for victims of crime including drunk driving collsions. Drunk driving crash victims can qualify for benefits if they suffered an injury or severe emotional distress. Almost any incident involving a drunk driver qualifies as a vehicular crime and qualifies for Crime Victim Compensation benefits. The incident must have been reported to the police within one year and a claim must be filed for benefits within two years.
If you're applying for benefits from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund you will not be prevented from filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver or any other entity (like a bar, the state, the home owner who hosted a party). It should be noted that the Crime Victims Compensation Fund is a payer of last resort which means that if you have your own health insurance, or either the at-fault driver OR you have car insurance, that insurance money must be exhausted before you begin receiving benefits from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund.
To apply for Crime Victims Compensation you must:
1. Fill out the application located at: http://www.lni.wa.gov/forms/pdf/F800-042-000.pdf
2. Send the application to: Crime Victims, PO Box 44520, Olympia, WA 98504-4520 or fax the form to: 360-902-5333.
3. If you have questions about completing the application form, don't hesitate to contact our office for a FREE consultation at 206-727-4000.
NOTE: Bankruptcy protection doesn't apply to drunk drivers. Drunk drivers cannot obtain relief from Chapters 7 and 13 Federal Bankruptcy Codes to avoid paying personal injury judgments or criminal restitutions for drunken driving claims. So if you are awarded a judgment against a drunk driving offender and that person later files for bankruptcy, they will still owe you the money-- the drunk driving case and the money they owe will not be discharged.
The Critical Role Played by Law Enforcement in the Fight Against Drunk Driving in Washington State
Davis Law Group recognizes that law enforcement officials in Washington State are the heroes who keep our roads safe. High-visibility law enforcement programs such as Target Zero, Drive Hammered Get Nailed, DUI Checkpoints and increased patrols during holiday weekends, special events, concerts and ballgames catches drunk drivers and discourages drunk driving. Davis Law Group would like to thank the Washington State Patrol, the Seattle Police Department's DUI Squad, the King County Sheriff's Office, and all of the other city, county and state law enforcement and agencies such as the Washington Traffic Safety Commission which keep Washington State citizens safe.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A jury will get to hear the case of a former health district employee whose family claims the government agency killed him.
This is a story Contact 13 Chief Investigator Darcy Spears has been following for seven years.
Now a judge says it's high time the case is heard.
"I'm mad as hell. The health district ruined my life. They ruined my family's life," expressed Dan Pauluk in a video recording he made shortly before his death.
Pauluk was an environmental health inspector for the Southern Nevada Health District.
He died July 27, 2007.
"The pain, the agony, the suffering. His raw, weeping sores all over his body," recalled his wife, Dr. Wendy Pauluk, when we spoke to her in November.
Dan's family and his doctors said he was slowly eaten alive from the inside out by toxic mold he was exposed to at the Southern Nevada Health District's now-shuttered Shadow Lane headquarters.
The building has a long and well-documented history of water leaks and mold issues.
The Pauluk family filed a lawsuit against the health district in December 2007, but had to put it on hold in 2011 based on Dr. Wendy Pauluk's ill health.
"I have had to not only fight with the health district for ongoing justice for my husband, but then I have my own health issues as a result of the mold spores, and I have been fighting for my life."
The health district has been fighting the Pauluks, trying to get the case dismissed. But this week, they lost their bid to have it thrown out.
In a federal order filed Dec. 9, Judge Philip Pro writes, "After thorough review of the record in this case, the court finds there remain genuine issues of material fact." He added, "This very old case needs to be set for trial forthwith."
"What kind of lies were told to the public from the health district?" Wendy wonders. "What kind of conspiracy and cover-up comes out? This will come out in trial."
Before Dan became disabled, he made multiple requests to be moved away from the mold. But his requests were denied. And he was forced to stay in what many called a sick building.
"I think they tried to hide this for a number of years for a variety of reasons," Wendy said. "I think one reason they tried to hide it is because it probably would have resulted in the public losing faith in the health district."
In a decision earlier in the case in 2008, Judge Pro wrote, "Pauluk's supervisors ordered him to work in an area they knew to be dangerous. They misrepresented the safety of the facility by presenting a false report about its cleanliness." He calls their actions "egregious and conscience-shocking."
"They have seen to it that their actions have destroyed a person," said Dan, struggling to speak as he lay on his death-bed.
The health district has declined comment because the case is still ongoing.
Both sides have been ordered to meet no later than Jan. 23 so the judge can set the matter for trial.
Of course, Action News will be following it.

Torquay crash death cyclist's family tell court: 'Don't ruin car driver's life'
Posted: March 27, 2014|
THE family of a cyclist who died after a collision on Torquay seafront have told a court: "He would not want this tragic accident to ruin the life of the person responsible for his death."
The teacher convicted of causing his death walked free from court after the hearing.
Driver Holly Hammond, 29, was turning left into Rathmore Road at the Grand Hotel junction when she hit Jeffrey Hennels. Mr Hennels, 71, (pictured below) died a week after the collision in Derriford Hospital from head injuries.
Members of his family were in court to hear magistrates in Torquay disqualify Hammond from driving for two years.
The defendant, 29, pleaded guilty to causing death by driving without due care and attention.
The court was told 'a momentary lapse of attention' by the defendant had tragic consequences for Mr Hennels.
Hammond said she was '100 per cent remorseful' for what she had done and deserved the punishment of the court. But in a victim personal statement, one of Mr Hennels' children said: "I can't speak for him although I would like to think he would not want this tragic accident to ruin the life of the person responsible for his death."
The court was told Mr Hennels, a keen Torquay United fan, had been cycling home on a sunny day in June last year when he stopped at traffic lights.
Hammond, driving a Mini, pulled up at the lights on Mr Hennels' outside and the pair waited for the lights to turn green.
A witness described seeing her pull away when the lights turned green. She turned left into his path and Mr Hennels collided with the Mini.
Her solicitor, Ben Darby, told the court: "As she went past him she gave him a wide berth and then turned left. It was a mistake. Her mistake was assuming he was turning left and taking the same path up Rathmore Road. It was a momentary lapse of attention.
"Had she looked over her shoulder she would have seen he wasn't turning left. Her blame is not looking over her shoulder."
Mr Hennels was knocked from his bike and his head hit the road. Initially he seemed to have nothing more serious than a cut, but the true nature of his condition became apparent to doctors at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
After fighting for his life for a number of days doctors told his family there was nothing more they could do and his life support system was switched off.
He died on July 4.
In a statement his daughter Rachel Ward said Mr Hennels' death had devastated her family. "He was always someone who could be relied upon to do his best to help in any situation," she said.
"I miss my dad immensely and hope myself and my loved ones will never have to go through such a traumatic experience ever again."
Magistrates said they had taken into consideration Hammond's lack of previous convictions and clean driving record. They said she did not deserve to go to prison.
They ordered her to do 180 hours of unpaid work, pay a victim surcharge of £60 and costs of £85.
Hammond was also told to take a driver's test at the end of her ban.
After the case Rachel Ward said what happened was a 'tragic accident'.
"No sentence of any kind would have changed the situation or how we feel. We just wanted to make sure Dad was fairly represented in court.
"The most important thing is the woman will have to do an advanced driving course. At the end of the day she looked remorseful.
"As for the junction my concern is people need to be more aware and maybe the cycle lane should continue rather than finish at the traffic lights.
"I would also like to point out how important it is for cyclists to wear helmets, which my dad was not doing."

Personalise yourself with new RAZR Fit driver
By delia on Nov 22, 2012 08:40 AM
Callaway Golfs online customisation tool udesign will give golfers who buy the latest Callaway RAZR fit driver the unprecedented ability to design their own colourful version of the club, already used by Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Alvaro Quiros.
It features an innovative, easy-to-use online facility for men and women, whether right or left-handed, that allows them to select their personalised colour choices for RAZR-Fits clubhead and grip - as well as many shaft, loft and lie options.
Golf is already the most personalised sport there is in terms of custom equipment and our new udesign platform brings it to a new and exciting place, says Callaway executive Jeff Colton. The cheap RAZR fit driver has been created under the watchful eye of Englishman Dr. Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research & development in California, to 'empowering players around the world to dial in their game.'
"We proud of the RAZR Fit products because of the performance gains we have achieved for golfers, while adding the benefits of adjustability," says Dr. Hocknell. "Callaway is not just entering the adjustability race we're taking the pole position."
Callaway claims its udesign platform has sent a charge of excitement through a team that was already thrilled with Callaway Diablo Edge Drivers performance. Indeed Mickelson chose powder blue and gold in honour of his favourite San Diego Chargers football team.
As for the extravagant Alvaro Quiros, he said: Give me a driver to my specifications in every colour and Ill match it to what Im wearing on the day!

Desktop Summit 2011: Akademy and Guadec Reunited in 2011
Following the success of the Desktop Summit in 2009 and separate events in 2010, Akademy and Guadec will again meet in a combined event in 2011. Organizers are now looking for a venue.
The Gnome Foundation and KDE e.V have praised the 2009 Gran Canary desktop Summit as a great success. After an intermezzo with separate events this year, the communities are looking for a host for another joint annual conference in 2011, announced yesterday.
The two desktop giants may have shared the same venue for GCDS 2009, the two events were held separately. This will change, and be better in 2011. According to Vincent Untz, board member at Gnome, collaboration between the parties is to be extended and a common program decided. "We enjoyed working with our KDE friends at GCDS in 2009, and want to increase our cooperation in 2011. We plan to go beyond simple co-location this time, and actually plan a combined schedule in 2011 so that KDE and GNOME contributors have every opportunity to work with and learn from each other."
KDE e.V and Gnome are now looking for a suitable European venue, big enough and with the necessary infrastructure to accommodate around 1000 participants. Applications must be entered by May 15, 2010. Details of requirements can be found on the KDE homepage (Akademy) and at the Gnome page, (Guadec).
This year the main conferences with KDE and Gnome will be held separately, starting with Akademy from July 3 to 10 in Tampere (Finland) and Guadec in Holland's The Hague, (July 24 to 30).
Desktop SummitI read somewhere that more than 850 contributors to the GNOME and KDE projects gathered in Gran Canaria last July. The event brought together attendees from 50 countries, and helped raise local awareness of free software and had a measurable impact on the local community. The impact of the event continues to be felt even after the event, with nearly 2 million hits to the summit Web site following the event. That is really impressive!

The Feminist Promise: 1792 to the Presentby Christine Stansell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this sweeping, definitive volume, Christine Stansell, one of the leading historians of her generation, tells the story of one of the great democratic movements of our times.
For more than two centuries, the ranks of feminists have included dreamy idealists and conscientious reformers, erotic rebels and angry housewives, dazzling writers, shrewd political strategists, and thwarted workingwomen. Well-known leaders are sketched from new angles by Stansell, with her bracing eye for character: Mary Wollstonecraft, the passionate English writer who in 1792 published the first full-scale argument for the rights of women; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, brilliant and fearless; the imperious, quarrelsome Betty Friedan. But figures from other contexts, too, appear in an unforgettable new light, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who in the 1970s led a revolution in the constitutional interpretations of women's rights, and Toni Morrison, whose bittersweet prose gave voice to the modern black female experience.
Stansell accounts for the failures of feminism as well as the successes. She notes significant moments in the struggle for gender equality, such as the emergence in the early 1900s of the dashing "New Woman"; the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote; the post–World War II collapse of suburban neo-Victorianism; and the radical feminism of the 1960s—all of which led to vast changes in American culture and society. The Feminist Promise dramatically updates our understanding of feminism, taking the story through the age of Reagan and into the era of international feminist movements that have swept the globe. Stansell provocatively insists that the fight for women's rights in developing countries "cannot be separated from democracy's survival."
A soaring work unprecedented in scope, historical depth, and literary appeal, The Feminist Promise is bound to become an authoritative source on this essential subject for decades to come on. At once a work of scholarship, political observation, and personal reflection, it is a book that speaks to the demands and challenges—individual, national, and international—of the twenty-first century.
What is the feminist promise? At different times, feminism has promised to bring about world peace, end prostitution, and abolish pornography, the sexual double standard, and the nuclear family. Feminists have promised to make women more like men and to teach men to be more like women, and to make sexual difference irrelevant altogether. They have sought a world where there was less sex, more sex, better sex, and better marriages, no marriage, gay marriages. In other words, feminism has encompassed a wide variety of social views and positions, sometimes antagonistic to one anotherFeminists have embraced women's traditional loyalties to children and kin as a fundamental value, and they have also heralded individualism as the one basis for true freedom. Like any long-lived and durable political tradition, feminism has always promised more than it could deliver. But it has also produced stunning successes, challenging institutions and presumptions that have been in place for centuries. Book jacket.

I got the feeling last night I had more company than normal. I didn't have any other flesh and blood people in my house. This afternoon the wind repeatedly kicked up around me when I was outside. A storm even popped up suddenly and that was after I checked the skies for signs of rain and only saw one cloud I thought was far away. It was pouring down within seconds of stepping back inside a building.
Does it seem like you've experienced more active or restless spirits?
I occasionally see flickers of shadows or something in my vision in my house. I don't feel at all threatened though. At least one has a pleasant touch when I feel that. I usually don't see these flickers or shadows in other houses or places so I believe I may have somehow attracted someone or could it be multiple unknowns?
It's possible my vision isn't completely normal. I can often see wispy waves in the air around objects traveling through the air. I often can see ripples in the air from traffic going by when I'm stopped at a traffic light. I don't know if lots of people see this or not.
Anyway I was wondering if others noticed extra restless activity just recently?

Following civil war, cardinal promotes unity in Sri Lanka
Catholic World News - June 15, 2011
Although Christians form only 8% of Sri Lanka's population, the Church can play a crucial role in promoting unity in a nation ravaged by civil war, according to Cardinal Albert Malcolm Ranjith Patabendige Don of Colombo.
"We have to be a witness, not so much through words but through actions--the way we live with one another," Cardinal Ranjith told Aid to the Church in Need. "So, since we are Christians, even though we may be Sinhalese and Tamils, it is essential that… we try to build fraternity as much as possible--and understanding--and then this is the way we would tell others [that] Christians have no problems with race and language."
The common devotion of Sihalese and Tamil Catholics to Our Lady of Madhu can serve "as a catalyst, as an example [that] people can live together in our faith," he added.

Prep football: Light outage ends Olympus at Cottonwood game early
Murray • Given football's heightened attention to player safety, the decision to suspend Friday's season opener between Olympus and Cottonwood was an easy decision.
It's also understandable that the players and coaches wanted to stay and play.
A power outage left Cottonwood's four light towers at about 50 percent of luminosity, which led game officials and school administrators to call the game with Olympus leading 14-8 with 2 minutes, 51 seconds to play in the second quarter.
"I understand the liability, but the bottom line is we prepared all summer, and win, lose or draw, you want to play a full game," Olympus coach Aaron Whitehead said. "We were making adjustments in the locker room, and it was a joy kill when the officials came in and said the game's over."
Cottonwood coach Greg Croshaw declined to comment but was visibly upset by the decision. He did confirm that he attempted to plead his case, but the officials told him the decision was made because of concerns for player safety.
The game isn't expected to be resumed.
It's the second season opener in three years to be suspended because of a power outage. In 2011, Davis' trip to Brighton ended early when the lights failed to come on at halftime.
Officials sent the teams to the locker room for halftime with time still remaining in the second quarter in hopes that power to the lights would be restored during the 15-minute intermission.
Olympus senior quarterback Chase Manning completed all six of his pass attempts for 61 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown to Taylor Ellis to put the Titans ahead 14-0 in the second quarter.
Olympus' Connor Haller intercepted a Gerber Tevita pass on the game's second offensive play, and the Titans covered 79 yards on seven plays, capped by Coleman Meier's 7-yard run.
Cottonwood's touchdown was scored by Malu Hosea on a 5-yard run.

By Kimberly Foley. CREATED Aug 30, 2014 - UPDATED: Aug 30, 2014
LINCOLN, Neb. - For one family in the stands, Saturday's Huskers game wasn't just the first game of the season; it was the game of a lifetime.
The Bryant family has been counting down the days until Florida-Atlantic played at Nebraska.
"We knew about this schedule two years ago," said Parnell Bryant.
The road to Saturday's game actually started back in the 1950s when a man named Charles Bryant played for the Huskers.
His sons, Robbie and Parnell, grew up cheering on Big Red, which is something they passed down to their children.
"We are Nebraska fans, but we bleed blue today," said Robbie Bryant.
FAU's Brandin Bryant is Robbie's son.
On Saturday, he took the field in his cleats just like his grandfather.
While his entire family cheered from the stands.
"It's heartwarming to see Brandin on the home field and to play for my grandfather's legacy," said Robin Bryant, Brandin's sister.
Brandin may have been wearing blue, but he finally got to play on the same field his grandfather did decades before.
"They know Brandin is from Omaha," said Robbie. "I think they'll be cheering for the Huskers, but inside their hearts, they'll be rooting for Brandin."
Family and friends from around the country made the trip to watch history come full circle.
"To be able to see any young man's, especially Brandin's, come true, it's a great day for everybody," said extended family member Anthony Westin. "As you can see it's a family event. We're all out here to celebrate and enjoy what it means to Brandin and the entire Bryant family."
About 150 family and friends went to the game together.

This is especially important these days because of the rise of mobile phone (smartphones), because I would say about 30-40% of internet users nowadays are doing it on their phones so it's critical to not get left behind when it comes to mobile marketing.

Using Video Marketing To Promote Business

Public Relations
No doubt the kind of marketing we have today, just the effectiveness of video marketing alone is more than enough to sway naysayers towards its direction. I can't even think what more it can do, it's just the perfect way to market a business because it gets the information over quickly without much hassle on the part of the viewer.

How Important Is PageRank?
in the forum
Of course, PR pretty much means everything when it comes to SEO. It's almost all of the traffic that is coming into our websites. So a better ranking in a good niche means good money. That's all there is to it.

How many keywords do you implement?
in the forum
True, I normally use 2-4 primary keywords then a lot of other keywords with different URLs to mix it up a little bit more. SEO is starting to penalize sites focusing on certain keywords for the most part. There's no particular rule regarding this but it's pretty much like that.

Wellness fair held at VA Clinic
by WES MAYER
The Newnan Veterans Affairs Clinic hosted its first Community Wellness and Resource Fair on Friday.
"We are giving all veterans the opportunity to get the information they need," said the clinic's licensed social worker, Youilite Matthews. "We are hoping to bring them all together under one roof."
Veterans and caregivers were welcome to visit any of the informational tents set up around the clinic's parking lot on Oak Hill Court, located off Highway 34 East. Veterans could gain information about the programs of the Newnan VA Clinic, and learn about other organizations that administer programs such as caregiver support, women's wellness, homeowners' resources and even suicide prevention. The Georgia Department of Labor, the Social Security Administration and the VA's personal health record website, My HealtheVet, also had representatives present with information and resources.
"We are looking for max participation from the organizations that veterans use the most," Matthews said.
Veteran groups like The Buffalo Soldiers and the Daughters of the American Revolution gathered as well, and the DAR donated money to buy gift baskets veterans could win through raffles. There was also an abundant amount of snacks, drinks and homemade cookies.
The Newnan VA Clinic opened in 2009 as Coweta County's primary care center for all veterans. Its medical staff includes five health providers, three mental health providers, a dietician and a clinical social worker. The clinic also has its own lab and can perform X-ray radiation tests on site.
The VA is wanting to make its wellness and resource fair an annual event and have it continue to grow with more supporters and organizations. According to Matthews, there are more than 4,500 registered veterans in Coweta County, and the Newnan VA Clinic hopes that more of these veterans will learn about the clinic through events such as this fair.

My husband and I have been on a bit of a smoothie kick lately. My husband has entered into his busy season of the year at work which means he has been working overtime each week. He wakes up at 4:30am before heading off to work. I am not far behind him, waking up at 5:00am each morning to workout before heading off to school.
The first couple days of waking up early were, to be honest, horrible! I hated waking up so early, but have made it a part of my daily routine. Doing so, helps me to be intentional about getting my daily dose of physical activity before the craziness of the day ensues. I find that it really helps set the tone for my day.
This Strawberry Oat Smoothie has become one of the many smoothie recipes we have tried for breakfast. They are quick and easy to make, perfect when you are on the go. We blend our smoothies, pour into a glass, and it's off to work we go…so convenient and healthy!
Tip: You can try grinding the oats in the blender for a smooth texture before adding additional ingredients.
Strawberry Oat Smoothie:
Serves: 1
1/2 c. plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana, cut into slices
1 Tbsp. agave nectar (or honey)
1 c. fat-free milk
Place all ingredients in a blender. Puree until smooth or until desired consistency.

EDINBURG, Texas (KVEO) -- Fourth grade students at De Escandon Elementary in Edinburg, Texas are learning about diabetes.
"We chose fourth grade because we feel that students at that age level are responsible enough and at an age where they can absorb the message," said Doreen Garza, UTPA College of Health and Human Sciences, Border Health Office Executive Director.
The kids not only took a survey, but they also got to watch a quick video.
"It was geared toward their attention span. It doesn't move to fast, it doesn't move to slow. All of the higher order vocabulary, like pancreas for example, is spelled out with pictures and little graphics they can relate to," said Dr. Shawn Saladin, UTPA College of Health and Human Sciences Associate Dean.
The movie wasn't the only piece of information given out. Students also took home a small coloring assignment and more importantly, a diabetes registry form to give to someone they know with diabetes.

receiver.au3 - This app can receive any WM_COPYDATA message. It stays in the Task Tray. The window name to send the message to is "Receiver". Run this app. Then do an exec.exe command like this.
You should see a MsgBox pop up with the track name.Code:
C:\Program Files\Road Runner>exec.exe REQUEST;Receiver;TRACKNAME
send.au3 - This is where I have problems. I can use it to SendMessage to receiver.au3 listed above (Open send.au3. On line 5, change "RoadRunner" to "Receiver" then execute it). However, it cannot SendMessage to RoadRunner. RR doesn't seem to response.
Note: You need AutoIt 3.1.1 (latest) to run these scripts. You can download it here.
(Install AutoIt and double-click directly on the scripts).
I'd appreciate any help.

Limit gun ownershipJuly 23, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
At least in the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case, "stand your ground" was not the issue before the court. The issue was self-defense. Right or wrong, only two people were there and only one lived to tell his story. That said, I believe the underlying issue is, and will always be, gun control, which should be at the forefront of any and all debates on this subject.
Shootings seem to happen daily here in Pittsburgh. Put your anger where it belongs. Evil, malicious and mentally ill people shouldn't have easy access to guns. Actually, without a background check, nobody should.

Alas, Nicki Minaj's dream of a Vogue cover didn't come true, but she did get a pretty nifty consolation prize in the form of a blue-tinted profile inside the March issue of the fashion bible.
RELATED: Nicki Minaj Is Actively Trying To Land Herself A Vogue Cover
For the Steven Klein lensed shoot, Vogue took the liberty of painting Minaj blue because… well, we don't know why exactly, but it probably has something to do with her propensity for bright colors and her sartorial resemblance to a cartoon. Anyway! We also learn a few things about the rapper, like how she grew up wanting to be a lawyer and used to wear "Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans". But we were most blown away by the fact that she used to spend $50,000 a month on "Giuseppe, Versace, YSL, and Fendi shoes. And I bought tons of Vuitton bags. When you're a young girl from Queens, you're going to stock up on those bags."
Guess she's just getting them for free now.

I have always loved making things, but really never had the chance or time to do much of it until retirement. I still don't have much time to spend at my passion, but I think about making things all the time. The community of fiber artists I've met online inspires me and I'm blessed to call many of them friends.
I live with my BFF Larry in the house we built with our own hands 47 years ago. He is a gifted carpenter and we collaborate on many projects, the latest being a 3 year "update the old homestead" marathon. We spent most of the first 8 years of our retirement staying warm in Arizona's sunshine and cooling off in southwest Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Having gotten that out of our system (though we still like to travel) we decided to stay home where we have all our tools and raw materials, family and lifelong friends. Life is good.
We love company and have room for friends who are passing through central Indiana. We are 20 NE of Indy, just off I-69. Reservations or walk-ins welcome. Give me enough notice so I can tidy up the place and check the food supply!

TONKAWA — Dry clouds of grit swept across Kay County on Thursday afternoon, leading to a 27-vehicle crash that caused multiple injuries and prompting authorities to clamp off the state's major north-south thoroughfare for nearly six hours as blowing dust blotted out the sun.
High winds and blowing topsoil created near-blackout conditions, delaying emergency responders from promptly reaching the injured in a scene reminiscent of the Dirty Thirties.
"There were times when we didn't have visibility going beyond our hoods," Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. Jeff James said.
The dust storm caused 12 crashes involving 27 vehicles. Twelve people were treated for injuries, none of which were deemed life-threatening, trooper Betsy Randolph said.
Mangled vehicles littered the side of the highway as emergency responders — some with bandannas across their mouths and noses — pulled the injured from the wreckage.
A sedan sat atop a sports car, its rear wheels resting on what remained of a windshield. The abandoned vehicles were slowly covered with a thin layer of red-brown dust, and what lay more than a few feet beyond in any direction was guesswork.
Interstate 35 was closed in both directions about 1 p.m., and was reopened just before 7 p.m. During that time, traffic was rerouted through Blackwell, which Blackwell Police Chief Fred LeValley called a "madhouse."
Peter Becker, of Dallas, was en route to Topeka, Kan., but was delayed due to the dust storm. He stopped at a truck stop to find an alternate route. He was supposed to meet friends Thursday evening in Wichita, but expected he might be late for dinner.
Becker, who rides with the Patriot Guard, said he's seen worse dust storms in west Texas.
"I've got a four-wheel drive pickup truck. I should be able to make it," Becker said.
Contributing factors
Gary McManus of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey said the factors working together to produce the blowing dust in northern Oklahoma are the usual suspects, namely prolonged severe drought, winds gusting to over 50 mph, and lots of bare wheat fields.

Stefanie, a pre-service primary school teacher has come up with a great use for MiniCards. A LiveJournal user, she's used the Text MiniCard option to make a a set of cards featuring the most commonly used words in the English language.
Each of the cards in the 100 pack has a different word, clearly written on a plain, but colourful background. She plans to use them as flash cards or prompt cards, and perhaps make a set of nouns or adjectives next.
We love this idea! (Actually we made a less educational version ourselves a while ago, and attached magnets to the back, for use as fridge poetry.)
If you're not a LiveJournal user, but you'd still like to make some Text MiniCards, I'll let you into a secret. Head over to moo.com/livejournal and hit the 'Make Text MiniCards' button. When it asks you to enter your LiveJournal user name, do what MOO do. Enter: moocards
You'll then be through to the next stage, where you can make your cards. When it comes to payment and shipping details, add your own info, and away you go. Your own set of Text Cards.
Now, how you decide what the 100 most commonly used words are is another thing entirely. I guess that might depend on who you are
Oddly if you used a reference of the 100 most commonly used words in English language, you'd have a pretty boring set of mostly articles, prepositions, and pronouns.
Gotta pass on a bunch of those grammatical objects and throw in some verbs and nouns instead.
@Patrick – very good point, although the reason for the choice of the 100 most common words is that they're usually the first set of words that young children in school (P-2) will use in their writing – the basic building blocks if you will. Hence the reason for wanting to create addition sets with a larger variety of words.
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.
Don't miss out on special offers and discounts that we share with our subscribers!
We know that lots of you are great ambassadors for MOO and so we've been thinking of a way to say thank you. Which is why you can now actually earn money off your next order when you refer friends to MOO.Find out more

My friend fogged up my windows and drew a penis on the inside of the car driver's backseat window. Every-time my car fogged even a little bit it would magically materialize a penis. I didn't find it until I'd been driving around with a magically appearing penis for about two weeks.

I have a 96 camaro so the back window is all weird looking (yeah even I think that sounds retarded but I don't know how to explain it.. Anyway.. My sister drew a huge dick right on the convex part that was pretty much impossible to see from the drivers seat and I drove around for two months with a massive dick on my window
Reply0#109 to #108 - buttgauges (02/09/2013) [-]
Same thing happened to me for about 2 weeks as well. They put it in the passenger's side and carved it into the frost on the side of my car so I had a huge penis across the entire side of the car and it said "I LOVE BIG BLACK COCKS" on my windows.
:( Took me awhile to notice it.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY – To help Turkey meet municipal solid waste incineration targets, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) awarded a grant today to the Istanbul Environmental Management Industry and Trading Company (İSTAÇ). The project will also spur the development of new renewable energy generation, an Obama Administration priority. The feasibility study also builds upon USTDA's long-term support for projects that spur economic growth and development in Turkey and create green jobs in the United States.
The grant will fund a feasibility study on a proposed waste-to-energy facility in Istanbul for İSTAÇ, the municipal waste processing and management company for the greater Istanbul region in Turkey.
The municipal solid waste-to-energy plant will provide a sustainable alternative to land filling at the Odayeri landfill site, which is nearing capacity. When this project is implemented, it will provide export opportunities for U.S. clean energy companies and help to reduce carbon emissions in the region.
Acting U.S. General Consul in Istanbul Win Dayton said that the grant is part of the U.S. Government's long-term commitment to engage with Turkey through the Framework for Strategic Economic and Commercial Cooperation, which seeks to enhance bilateral economic and commercial relations.
"The U.S. looks forward to working with Turkey to help it expand the country's electricity generation capacity as well as improve environmental conditions in Istanbul," said Dayton when he awarded the $491,160 grant at İSTAÇ headquarters during a ceremony in Istanbul.
"The project will extend the remaining life of the landfill, reduce methane, and odor emissions from the site and help İSTAÇ meet the municipal solid waste incineration targets set forth by the European Union. This waste-to-energy project would be the first of its kind in Turkey."
İSTAÇ's General Director Osman Akgul signed the grant agreement for the Turkish side. The feasibility study will consider various technical designs for the 70MW power plant, which will provide a renewable and reliable source of energy.
By properly incinerating 3,000 tons of solid waste per day, one-third of the municipal waste received at the Odayeri landfill site, the proposed facility will generate enough electricity to power 350,000 households in the area.
The opportunity to provide the USTDA-funded assistance under the grant awarded will be competed on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. A link to the FBO announcement will be posted on USTDA's website at www.ustda.gov. Interested U.S. firms should submit proposals according to the instructions in the announcement. The Istanbul Environmental Management Industry and Trading Company will select a U.S. firm to provide the assistance associated with this grant.

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency advances economic development and U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle-income countries. The agency funds technical assistance, feasibility studies, training, reverse trade missions and business workshops to support development of modern infrastructure and a fair and open trading environment. USTDA's efforts create an enabling environment for trade, investment and sustainable economic development.

Charles Dickens's London of dirt and despair captured in evocative exhibition
Paintings of Victorian poverty go on display alongside rare manuscripts in the first museum show on the author in 40 years
Alex Werner, curator of the first major museum show on Charles Dickens for more than 40 years, says one of his favourite exhibits is a small drawing that it would be easy for visitors to overlook: it shows a large heap of dust through which women are sifting in the hope of finding bits of metal or bone or anything else they can sell.

Chapter Three ~ Cousin
**A/N: I really appreciate all your comments, guys.. I'm not replying to them because there's like.. soo many of them LOL But I read ALL of them. You don't know how much your comments mean to me, they make me so happy. Some things were left unexplained on the second chapter, but keep reading and you'll find answers. I don't plan on switching to Blake's POV or someone from her old pack, it just kinda ruins my whole plan in the later chapters. Sorry, it's been a while since I've updated. We are actually moving! WOOT! This is the third chapter, so enjoy..
Chapter Three ~ Cousin
Megan's POV
Zander and I turned to where the voices came from.
And. Uh-oh.
There are five guys standing right before my eyes. Wearing only their boxers, showing their droolworthy abs. And strangely, one of the guys looks awfully familiar. Great, this is what hunger can do to you. I noticed that each and every one of them has scowls on their faces.
"This is all your fault, Luke!" The guy with hazel eyes and brown hair accused.
Luke? My eyes widened as I stared at the guy named 'Luke'. He looked at me lovingly, "MEG!" Opening his arms wide, I ran towards him and tackled him in a bear hug, wrapping my legs around his waist.
"Oh, Luke! How I miss you.."
"I miss you too, Meg," tightening his arms around my waist, he sniffed my hair.
I looked at him weirdly, "You still can't get enough of my hair?"
He smirked, "No. It's you who I can't get enough of.." I pinched his cheeks. Someone cleared his throat behind us. Luke and I turned to see the guys watching us with amused eyes, asides from Zander, who has a poker face on. What is his problem?
Pulling out of the cheesy hug, I felt myself blush. All of a sudden, Zander shifted and ran away from us. Two of the guys shifted and followed him, not before glaring at Luke.
"Alpha. Who is she?" The guy with blond, messy hair asked. Smiling at him, he glared in return. Seems like someone doesn't like me.
"My cousin, Megan. Meg, this is Carl and beside him is Jared," Luke introduced. I held my hand out for Carl to shake, but he just slapped it away. Ouch. Just when I thought I would get along with everyone. Looking at Luke straught in the eyes, he shook his head, sadness in his eyes. Holding my hand out for Jared, he just looked at my hand disgustingly. Suddenly, he and the messy haired guy shifted and ran.
Luke sighed and put a palm on his face, "I'm so sorry for their behavior. It's because they have.. Trust issues. It's not really something I can control. But don't worry, they'll warm up to you."
Ohh.. I get what he's trying to say. What's got me thinking is, Zander. Is he the same pack as Alpha Luke? Why was he called alpha if Luke is the alpha? What's with Luke and Zander? "Umm.. Luke? Is Zander a pack member of yours?" Right after I asked that question, his eyes became cold.
"No, follow me to the pack house," he shifted into his gorgeous black wolf and ran. Quickly shifting into my white as snow wolf, I quickly followed after Luke, with my duffle bag in my mouth. The forest was cared for, I can tell. Our preys were currently in hiding as we came in to their sight. Deers ran as fast as they can, squirrels hid into the trees, normal wolves bowed down to show respect, and submission.
We stopped in front of a huge white house, with a big swimming pool on the side. While I was in awe, something nudged my arm. Turning to see Luke, giving me a wolfish grin, I rollef my eyes, which I'm sure is pretty weird, considering that I'm still in wolf form. Holding my paw out for Luke to bite, he gently took it and looked at me in the eye, concern in his eyes. Nodding, I quickly braced myself for the pain and felt his canines sink deep into my skin. I let out a small whimper, and Luke quickly, but gently pulled away.

The people would never have caome across a monkey previously and all the rhetoric against the French, undoubtedly clouded their judgement.

By BILL CLOWARDSalt Lake City
Summer is coming and it is time for the global warming debate to heat up. We are constantly surrounded by news articles, documentaries, and books about the issue. But what these articles fail to do is present both sides of the issue.
The media wants you to believe that we are on a collision course with destiny, and that destiny is the destruction of the world. But I hope to enlighten a few people on the other side of the global warming discussion.
Most people believe the media when they say that warming is caused by human produced emissions and the burning of fossil fuels. They offer immense amounts of data that connects CO2 to the increase in global temperatures. It is true that the two are connected quite closely, but an increase in global temperatures over the last 1000 years has actually led to the rise in CO2. Data shows that temperature increases decades before the CO2 levels rise. They also forget to mention that the world has already experienced an ice age and other eras when the global temperatures were tropic like. And that was long before man was producing steel, power, and combustion engines. So how is that explained.
Another thing "activists" like to push on us is the amazing invention of the hydrogen burning engine. The hydrogen burning engine is a combustion engine whose only emission is water vapor. If we use these engines we can stop global warming, right? Wrong. There are many green-house gases. Water vapor is a major green house gas. It actually makes up 95 percent of the green-house gases in the atmosphere. Hydrogen is also very expensive and energy consuming to extract and condense for use in these engines. So we would still be creating green-house gases through the burning and production of hydrogen. But you never hear that.
We should never take anyone's word for it. Become educated in all the issues that face us. We should always think scientifically and question everything until we learn for ourselves what the truth is. Just because it is a popular belief doesn't mean it is true. Maybe if everyone didn't buy into global warming the price of gasoline wouldn't have been able to skyrocket like it has.
