WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) - Whether you love soul food, smoothies, barbecue, Chinese, or famous fried chicken, this week's WUSA9 Food Alert includes sanitation violations that are not only risky to your health - but they're at places you may know.
Sanitation closures include Florida Ave. Grill in the U. St. Corridor, KFC in Gaithersburg, Smoothie King in Adams Morgan, Lucky Carryout on Pennsylvania Ave. SE, and Adama Restaurant in Bladesnburg.
Click here to search inspection histories at restaurants in DC, Virginia, and Montgomery County:
In the U Street corridor inspectors closed soul food icon Florida Avenue Grill.
Florida Avenue Grill is as famous for the patrons whose pictures hang on the walls as the southern style grits collared greens and biscuits inspectors it's been serving since 1944.
Inspectors say Florida Avenue Grill was operating with no hot water.
The restaurant did not respond to our calls for comment.
In Gaithersburg on North Frederick Avenue we took our camera inside KFC to see if it was in compliance after inspectors cited the store for making chicken with no hot water for workers to wash their hands.
Our temperature measured the hot water at 104 degrees which meets KFC and Montgomery County's minimum standard of 100.
"Nothing is more important to our franchisees than providing the highest quality food and service, so the team made it a top priority to remedy the isolated problem," said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard
In Bladensburg, Maryland, inspectors suspended Agama restaurant citing multiple violations including overflowing dumpsters.
When we arrived at the barbecue and charcoal grilling restaurant, we found trash bags stacked several feet above dumpster walls and garbage including mattresses on the ground.
Adama owner Namdi Nwasinoke blamed the problem on illegal dumping.
Nwasinoke showed us where he's building a gated trash area and roof a project to correct leaks inspectors noted in the restaurant's kitchen.
"The situation before was that we had water leaking from the roof." Nwasinoke said. "So the entire roof has now been changed."
In Adams Morgan on 18th St, inspectors suspended Smooth King for operating without the required staffer certified in safe food training.
When we walked in, the worker said he was the only one there and there was no one on duty with the proper training.
That could get them closed down again.
On Pennsylvania Avenue SE, inspectors suspended Lucky Carryout reporting violating including a mice infestation.
We didn't find any signs of mice when workers invited us into the kitchen to look.
They say they've addressed all the violations.
Lucky and all the others passed re-inspection and are back in business now. We've got links to Montgomery County, Virginia, and DC inspections if you want to see how your favorite restaurant is doing, check

Flight 232 Memorial Vandalized
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Two men face felony charges for allegedly vandalizing a memorial to the 1989 crash of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City.
Scott Coleson, of Lehigh, and Felipe Sebastian, of South Sioux City, Neb., are suspected of pushing over a boulder at the memorial at a park early Wednesday. Both are charged with criminal mischief.
The city says it will cost $3,000 to replace the cracked boulder. It's one of eight leading up to a statue commemorating the accident.
United Flight 232 was en route from Denver to Chicago when it crashed at the Sioux City airport, killing 112 people.
Drowned Police Officer Tried To Rescue Daughter
AMES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say an Ames police officer who drowned in Geode State Park in southeast Iowa was trying to reach a boat and his daughter when he went under the water.
Fifty-one-year-old Sgt. Howard Snider, of Nevada, drowned on Sunday.
Snider, with his family, had been on a fishing boat. The boat was pulled to a dock and most of the occupants had gotten out, but Snider's daughter was still on board when the wind pushed it away from the dock.
The Henry County sheriff's office says Snider's daughter was unable to get out of the boat by herself, so Snider went into the water to get both the boat and his daughter.
Officials say Snider was reportedly unable to continue swimming and drowned.
Iowa Denied Waiver on No Child Left Behind Law
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Department of Education has denied Iowa's request for a waiver from key provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind rules.
Iowa Department of Education Director Jason Glass says the state's application was denied because in a bill passed this year requires any changes in teacher evaluations to be first approved by the Legislature.
Glass says he warned lawmakers that such a requirement would mean rejection. He says it's a missed opportunity for Iowa schools to find relief from the 2002 law. Glass says the law holds schools
to unrealistic measures and then blames them for failure.
Gov. Terry Branstad says responsibility for the denial lies squarely at the feet of the Iowa Legislature, which did too little to improve schools despite repeated warnings.
Iowa Spending On School Education Ranks Low
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Census data show Iowa has been spending less than the national average on students in its public schools.
Iowa's per-pupil expenditure was nearly $9,800 per student, compared with the U.S. average of just over $10,600.
District of Columbia public schools spent the most money: nearly $18,700 per pupil. Utah spent the least, at just over $6,060 per student.
Iowa spending has increased over the years, however. Iowa Department of Education data shows the state spent more than $5,100 per student in the 1997-98 school year.
Terms of Agreement Between U of I and Anheuser-Busch Announced
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - As part of a sponsorship agreement with the University of Iowa, beer brewer Anheuser-Busch will pay about $185,000 over four years to support the university's anti-binge-drinking programs.
The payments will start at $43,000 and rise to $50,000 the final year.
The university's sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch lets the beer giant use Iowa's Tigerhawk logo on its posters, flags, beer cups and T-shirts. Some critics say the deal conflicts with the university's efforts to curb students' binge drinking.
Any items using the logo require the athletic department's approval and must include the message "Responsibility Matters."
The agreement replaces a three-year sponsorship agreement with Anheuser-Busch that expired this year.

Why The New Tetris Movie Is A Terrible Sign For Hollywood

My favorite part of this video? When the announcer says that Rihanna is unrecognizable because she has some fake tattoos on her arm.

Testimony :: Dr. Zaher Sahloul
President - Syrian American Medical Society
Statement by Dr. Zaher Sahloul
Syrian American Medical Society
Before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
June 13, 2013
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and Members of this Committee. Thank you for hosting this hearing today on the humanitarian crisis facing Syrian refugees.
Since the beginning of the crisis in Syria, the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) has made multiple trips to Syria and its neighboring countries hosting refugees. We have sent multiple medical missions to address healthcare and psychosocial needs of Syrian refugees in Turkey and Jordan and to provide surgical and rehabilitation care to Syrian patients who were wounded in Syria due to shelling or bombing and then transported to the neighboring countries for surgical and medical care as they were denied such care inside Syria. Unfortunately many of them died or were further injured during the transportation due to unsafe and often primitive means of transportation.
We have established offices in Turkey, Jordan and now in Lebanon to address the needs of Syrian refugees and organize cross border medical relief to inside Syria, and regularly train Syrian doctors on how to deal with trauma patients they see on a daily basis within an austere environment lacking in resources.
We work in collaboration with other American, local, regional and international relief organizations and coordinate closely with local Syrian doctors.
We have sent over 100 physicians and medical personnel, both Syrian-American and non-Syrian American physicians and nurses, on medical missions under life-threatening conditions inside Syria. I have personally attended medical missions inside Syria six times over the last two years. Through our three field offices in Turkey and Jordan, and our teams of volunteer physicians, we have been one of the leading providers of medical relief aid inside of Syria, sending in millions of dollars worth of medical assistance, and have programs supporting health services for Syrian refugees in Jordan. We abide by the key humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence and we work to serve everyone in need regardless of their ethnic, religious or political affiliation.
Our team provides psychosocial support to Syrian refugees and oversees the surgical treatment and postoperative care to wounded Syrians transported to Amman hospital in Jordan. We also send medical supplies, medications, medical equipment and financial assistance to start field hospitals, medical points and support Syrian doctors in southern Syria. We provide similar services through our Turkey offices to Northern Syria. In the last year we spent about 5.5 million dollars in medical relief inside Syria and to Syrian refugees.
We helped to establish an underground parallel healthcare system throughout Syria to provide medical and surgical care to needy patients who are unable to seek medical and surgical care in the traditional healthcare system due to the unsafe environment and destruction of the traditional medical centers, especially in areas with ongoing hostilities.
We have established more than 16 field hospitals and 25 medical points, supported tens of traditional hospitals with medical supplies, equipment and consumables and provided medical training to more than 200 Syrian doctors in trauma care and the use of new technology to assist them in their hard, but lifesaving work.
Impact of Crisis on Neighboring Countries
What we have seen become of Syria is heartbreaking. Syria, a country that used to host refugees from Lebanon, Iraq and other countries in crisis, now has over 1.6 million Syrian refugees hosted in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt who have fled horrific scenes of rape, torture, their homes and neighborhoods destroyed, their neighbors and children taken by violence, all too often before their eyes. There are millions of Syrians who fled the conflict and are uncounted for in the current UNHCR numbers of registered Syrian refugees. Inside Syria, nearly 6 million Syrians have been displaced from their homes, often multiple times, and their personal resources are being depleted. This amounts to nearly 30% of the Syrian population, or 1 in 3 Syrians, the equivalent of 120 million Americans. This puts an enormous strain on the economies and healthcare systems of the communities hosting IDPs and refugees. Entire neighborhoods (like Baba Amr and the old city in Homs) and cities (like Darreya and AlQusair) have been completely destroyed and depleted from their inhabitants.
Even if the crisis ended today, millions of Syrian refugees and IDPs would be unable to return to their homes and neighborhoods due to the complete destruction, chaos and immobilization of economic life.
The health situation is catastrophic. Physicians have fled from the violence, unable to continue to treat patients under continuous bombardment and aerial attacks, lack of electricity and heating during the winter, and with little or no salary support. Every Syrian physician has heard stories from our colleagues about harassment, detention, torture and even death as a punishment for treating wounded inside Syria, and hospitals are regularly attacked, looted and destroyed. We have heard reports of physicians sleeping inside a hospital morgue in Syria for months at a time, with nowhere else to go. Currently we have estimated that there are at least 120 Syrian physicians among the refugees living in Jordan, but they are not able to practice medicine there or in other neighboring countries without supervision by a Jordanian physician. Despite the enormous needs, and their valuable and needed skills, Syrian refugee physicians have little they are officially able to contribute to the humanitarian response.
Prior to the conflict, the Syrian healthcare system was advanced and specialized. Syrians were accustomed to a level of healthcare that allowed them to visit a specialist – women would go to an OB-GYN provider, for example. This simple reality has turned the typical international response to a massive refugee influx on its head. Syrians are more educated, more accustomed to specialized care, and accustomed to living in a middle income country than other refugee populations. This means that the international community has had to revisit their typical response activities and change their strategy. Syrian refugees have stretched the international community's response system beyond its limit, and the refugee crisis shows no signs of abating.
Looking at the escalation of Syrian refugees, by April 2013, daily refugee flows were peaking at 14,000 per day (or one refugee every 6 seconds). In March Syrian refugees crossed the 1 million mark – now not three months later, there are already 600,000 more. This is an escalation of around 200,000 new refugees each month.
Mr. Chairman, the conflict in Syria is already spilling over into host countries, affecting their ability to provide their own citizens with services, and putting a strain on their economies and governments. By the end of 2013, UNHCR has projected that the number of Syrian refugees will reach an unprecedented 3.5 million. As you know, the UN has posted its largest appeal in history - $5.2 billion to support the response, and even that would not be enough to meet the enormous and growing needs inside and outside of Syria.
What is needed is for countries to maintain open borders, increase humanitarian assistance and channel more direct assistance to Syrian expatriate humanitarian organizations such as SAMS that have access in hard-to-reach areas of Syria, and for major donor nations to be creative in seeking out new and non-traditional donor countries to support assistance efforts. The UN should also use cross-border assistance to reach the many underserved populations inside Syria who they cannot currently reach, which will help to stem the refugee flow outside of Syria.
But all of this is no substitute for ending the conflict. Even with more funding, the humanitarian community's capacity to respond is limited, and the crisis is escalating at breakneck speed. What is most needed is a solution to the crisis, and it should not wait for another 93,000 Syrians to perish.
UNHCR reported in June that Jordan is currently hosting 477,455 Syrian refugees, with about 83,000 additional people waiting to be registered. 80% of these live in urban settings rather than in camps. While the government of Jordan deserves gratitude for hosting over half a million Syrians, the sheer scale is straining Jordan's resources as it struggles to also provide services to its own population. Nearly 10% of Jordan's population is currently made up of Syrian refugees.
It is much more difficult for UNHCR and international aid organizations to provide services for refugees who live outside camps and are instead living among the local community. The Jordanian government, UNHCR, and other organizations are working to provide refugees with free medical care. But there are limits to this care, leaving many cases outside the available treatment, and there is a growing difficulty, especially in Jordan, in covering more complex procedures including dialysis, invasive surgeries such as cardiac surgeries, and cancer treatments. Many refugees in need of these services have died, since they are unable to afford treatment and are turned away from facilities.
Mr. Chairman, providing wounded Syrians with free surgical care and postoperative care including rehabilitation of the wounded and patients with amputations and spinal cord injuries should be a priority gap for donor countries to work to fill moving forward. Many are under the impression that all wounded Syrians are treated for free in Jordanian hospitals. Unfortunately, this is not the case most of the time. Jordanian public hospitals accept and treat surgically only a few life-threatening surgical situations and other sporadic cases. There are delays in transporting patients in need for surgical treatment. On my last visit to Jordan, I met more than 20 Syrian patients in one of the private hospitals in Amman. All of them underwent surgeries in that private hospital. The cost of surgeries is covered by SAMS and other NGOs. There are 4 private hospitals in Amman that are performing such surgeries. Over the past 20 months, more than 3000 wounded Syrians were treated in these private hospitals. The average patient cost is about $2000 with some patients costing up to $ 100,000. Total cost incurred by NGOs and individual donors is about 6 million dollars. In the last few days of my visit, there were about 15-20 new patients who require surgical procedures every day, and that is without counting other surgical non-trauma related cases, such as obstetrical cases for Syrian refugees.
By interviewing the patients, I was able to figure out the current flow of patients in Jordan. When patients are injured by bombing, shelling or in combat in Daraa or Damascus, they receive first aid and basic care in medical points or field hospitals if available. Then they are transported to Jordanian hospitals at the border that are operated by NGOs, including Al-Saudi hospital and a Moroccan hospital in Alzaatari camp, UAE hospital at the border, Abdallah Hospital at the border, Ramtha public hospital, and others. These hospitals are considered level 1 or 2 hospitals and are not equipped to perform surgeries needed to these patients (most are Orthopedic, Vascular, Urologist, Plastic and Neurosurgical). After some waiting, patients are then transferred to one of the 4-5 private hospitals in Amman for surgical treatment and postoperative care.
Mr. Chairman, we recommend that donor countries support surgical treatment of these patients indirectly by donating to the NGOs that are supporting this system right now, as well as through direct support to the Jordanian government specified for that purpose. We also recommend that they take steps to encourage the Jordanian government to include a medical team to evaluate cases at the border that require urgent care, and to work with NGOs to establish a list of criteria that is used to accept patients to different facilities to eliminate some of the confusion around where a person can find appropriate care. We also recommend that donor countries work harder to support providing medications either for free or highly subsidized for the treatment of chronic disease and antibiotics to refugees in Jordan.
Mr. Chairman, we also recommend that Jordan, Turkey and other neighboring countries grant special medical license to Syrian doctors who are residing in Jordan or Turkey that will allow them to treat, manage and operate on Syrian patients only in certain named hospitals. This could happen at little cost to the host governments, since NGOs support the treatment of patients in these facilities. Yet it would allow Syrian physicians who are refugees to contribute to the medical response and lessen the strain on the host country's health services.
There are other challenges to humanitarian aid delivery in Jordan that I would like to highlight that are causing more desperation among the Syrian populations in need. Currently, aid agencies deliver assistance through the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), but the process is slow and expensive. Especially given the increased hostilities and worsening humanitarian situation in Daraa, Damascus and its suburbs, and Qalamoun, it is expected that a further deterioration of the humanitarian and medical situation will lead to increased refugee outflows affecting Jordan, and an increased need to send supplies through Jordan to reach those inside Syria. Other options such as partnering with the Jordanian Red Crescent may be a complementary option to relying exclusively on JHCO for aid deliveries.
Some have placed hope around statistics noting that about 60,000 Syrian refugees have returned to Syria within the past year. Refugees have reported that they are those from the southern region of Syria, where the FSA has control, and where the main road that links this area to Damascus has been reopened. Others have shared that they returned temporarily to oversee their property, or to bring back other family members to Jordan. However these numbers can be deceiving. It has been suggested though that most of those who return to Syria ultimately come back to Jordan, adding to the already-strained system.
Turkey is currently hosting 380,650 Syrian refugees in Turkey, with another 25,000 awaiting registration. In response to the expanding refugee population, the Turkish government began extending state health services to the Syrian refugees earlier this year. The Disaster and Emergency Management Agency of Turkey announced that over 300 refugees voluntarily returned to Syria.
The collapsed healthcare system and increased spread of infectious disease as the weather is warming in Syria is already having an impact on Turkey and other neighboring countries. Infectious diseases including measles, tuberculosis, and cutaneous leishmaniasis have been prevalent diseases within Syria. With large populations exiting the country daily, these medical challenges will now be placed on neighboring countries, including Jordan and Turkey. Many are concerned that host countries' prevention and control interventions will not likely be prepared to face a potential outbreak of measles and other diseases.
Current political tensions in Turkey have caused consequences for Syrian refugees attempting to flee from Syria. At the end of last month, Turkey closed a crossing on the border of Syria for security purposes after an attack on Reyhanli that many believe is linked to Syrian intelligence. Some have reported that many refugees face discrimination or threats of violence within Turkey due to this situation, and tensions between segments of the Turkish population and Syrian refugees continue to grow. We believe it is important to thank Turkey and thank the Turkish people for their generous support of Syrian refugees during the crisis. Turkey has generously provided housing, food and care for Syrian refugees in 17 government-run camps in eight provinces. Another 30% of refugees in Turkey are housed in urban areas.
Mr. Chairman, we believe that Turkey needs additional support in the form of assistance to support services to refugees. More needs to be done by EU and US governments to support health services to refugees in particular, especially in order to close the gap between what is currently available for rehabilitation services for wounded and disabled Syrian refugees and the increased needs. Prosthetic limbs, support for complex treatments, and a mechanism to allow Syrian physicians to treat patients in Turkey are all gaps that need to be filled. More support is also needed for urban refugees.
Mr. Chairman, the current refugees' situation is unsustainable to all host countries including Turkey who has a better economy and healthcare infrastructure than the other countries. There is no end in sight for the crisis and on the contrary, the UN expects the number of registered refugees to increase to a staggering 3 to 3.5 million refugees by next year as the conflict continues unabated. Our effort should focus on ending the crisis immediately before it can cause more deaths, disability, destruction, instability and chaos in Syria and neighboring countries that will serve as fertile grounds for extremism.
Our policies should focus on addressing, among other things, the healthcare and psychosocial needs of Syrian refugees and providing them with education, job training and civic training. Civic training and education of refugees are often ignored, but they are powerful tools to counter extremism and help build a better democratic system in Syria after the crisis. Such an effort should focus on the youth and women in particular, and be sensitive to cultural and religious traditions. We should also address the planning for a resettlement process. At this point, there is no such planning is being done, as far as we know.
Mr. Chairman, despite the tragic situation in Syria, I'm optimistic about the future, because Syria is a very unique country. It can be a model in the Middle East. Syria is not the Congo, Libya, Yemen, Somalia or Afghanistan. The most precious resource that Syria has is its human capital. Syria has an extremely diverse and talented population. Syrians, including many of our members in SAMS, are known to be natural entrepreneurs, successful, adaptive, resilient and creative. They love their homeland and they are eager to rebuild it. They aspire to what we aspire to, love our freedom and identify with our values. Syria has an educated middle class, large young population, educated women and diversified economy. Its location is very strategic as the connection between Europe and the Middle East. It has great geopolitical importance to us, as it strides close to many of our allies. I believe that at the end of the crisis, we will have a model in the Middle East that other countries can follow.
But in order to get to this point, the current humanitarian disaster, what many are calling a genocide, has to end. Syrians and the rest of the world are looking at the US to play a more proactive role in ending the crisis. Most Syrian Americans are disappointed at our current policies and expect more proactive steps to protect the civilian population and stop destruction and mayhem. Syrian doctors are expecting the US to protect them and protect their hospitals, not only to send them first aid and medical supplies.
Increasing humanitarian assistance is critical, but it is an inadequate, unsustainable and superficial response, a bandage that will not heal the wound beneath. It will not stem the flow of millions of new refugees outside of Syria or prevent another 93,000 from dying. We urge you most of all to focus your efforts on finding a solution to the crisis.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JP37 Darling Breadbox I looked high and low for a red breadbox that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Based upon the price, I had slight reservations on this, but thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did! It's beautiful. Just the right size (holds two loaves) and doesn't take up too much counter space. The finish resists fingerprints and the sliding door works like a charm. I would highly recommend this product. June 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by madhattermom Nice retro look I bought this simply because it looked retro (online purchase) and I am very happy with it. I have a white kitchen and I like the pop of color. I ended up using it to hold supplements that otherwise lay around on the countertop. It probably would hold 2 loafs of bread. December 10, 2013

text: Telephone conference report held on Tuesday, March 26.By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican On Monday and Tuesday, senators debated whether to allow medical providers to provide drugs to treat the partner of a person diagnosed with a sexually-transmitted disease. In his weekly conference call Tuesday, Christensen said the bill is starting to get some traction and he wouldn't be surprised to see it advance. However, Christensen said he has problems with the bill—one being that a minor and their partner can get treatment without parental notification. He believes a parent should be notified. In an era where children have to get permission to take an aspirin in school, how can the Legislature think about dispensing antibiotics to a partner without ever seeing a medical provider, Christensen questioned. He believes it's because the make-up of the current Legislative members tilts more liberal than in his past six years as a senator. This same bill has been brought before the legislature for the past several years but has always been killed but this time he fears it could have support for passage. Christensen said the bill goes against his conservative values. It's been those same conservative values that have put him in the cross hairs of Sen. Ernie Chambers. Christensen said Chambers has attacked his values on the floor and in hearings. Task Force Bill Coming Up Christensen said Sen. Tom Carlson's bill, LB 517, to create a statewide water sustainability task force will be coming up for debate soon. It's Carlson's priority bill for the session. Christensen said it got 8-0 support to advance out of committee and feels the bills will likely pass. He said he has mixed emotions on the bill, wondering if the state needs another water task force. Some have questioned what was learned from the last task force that targeted just the Republican Basin. To fund the study, Carlson wants $3 million from a state severance tax fund that funds school aid. Christensen said that cost may have to be pared down some if the bill advances. Next year, Carlson wants state water projects funded with a 1/4 percent sales tax. That bill has already been tabled until next year at Carlson's request.Augmentation Loan Before declaring priority bills, Christensen asked the Revenue Committee whether he should prioritize the request for a $40 million loan from state reserves. The loan would fund pipeline construction on the augmentation project in Lincoln County, designed to benefit both the Platte and Republican River Basins. The committee told him the request needs to remain within the state budget and not as a stand-alone bill. Christensen said he's gotten support for the loan but said it could come to making choices by the senators. That's because an $80 million cash reserve loan has been requested for upgrades to the vet's home in Grand Island. Christensen believes the water compliance issues facing the state makes the loan for the augmentation a high priority. However, Christensen doesn't want to see veterans underserved either, due to facilities.

Defective Medical Devices
Medical lawsuits aren't just about malpractice, misdiagnosis or a poor standard of care. Too often, the medical devices themselves fail or have side effects that are more harmful than the injury or sickness they sought to cure. When this happens, it's time to call a product liability attorney with experience in defective medical devices. He or she can skillfully investigate the nature of your procedure, history of the device in question and the extent of your pain and suffering to determine a possible monetary award.
Recalled Medical Devices
There are many, many medical products that have been recalled for defects. Recalled devices include:
- Guidant and Medtronic heart defibrillators
- Stryker® and Zimmer hip implants
- Some ACCU-chek® insulin pumps
- IVC filters recalled by several companies
- Shoulder pain pump implants
- J&J Heart stents
If a defective stent, pacemaker, infusion pump or other medical device has caused pain, injury or death in your family, you should speak to an product liability attorney about your case. When preparing to meet with your lawyer, research the model number and manufacturer of the product using the Internet. Entering into a lawsuit in such a manner can help ensure your chosen law firm is on track and capable of facing the hospitals and powerful medical manufacturing companies involved.

BeingGirl Points - Major Bragging Rights
Confidence & Self Esteem
« Back to Articles
Added April 23, 2014
You're ready to start experimenting with wearing makeup and your parents have given
you approval, but you don't know where to start. While you want to try the newest
products and trends you see in magazines or videos, it's still very overwhelming.
Here are some makeup tips especially for you!
Remember that you need to be comfortable in your own skin. Makeup can be about self-discovery:
You'll find what makes you happy and what makes you feel good being you. It can
be a fun way to express yourself and highlight some of your best features for the
world to see. It's a learning process and is not something that will happen over
night. With a little experimenting, you'll soon develop your daily beauty regimen.
Soften Your Natural Features
Makeup is meant to enhance your natural beauty. You don't have to go crazy with
lots of it. A little can go a long way. Experts believe that too often makeovers
involve lots of makeup and a masking of who you really are. Play up your lips OR
your eyes, not both. Also, neutral colors allow you to shine vs. your bright makeup
taking center stage.
Make Smart Beauty Buys
Spend your money wisely. Some products are worth paying more for, and some are best
to get for a good value. It's better to invest in staples that are important to
your everyday look. Quality matters more when buying eye shadow, moisturizer, foundation,
powder, blush, and an everyday lipstick, and less when it comes to mascara, eye
liner, cleansers, lip gloss, and trendy lipstick colors. When you're contemplating
trying out a new look, make sure you test the foundation, powder, blush, and lipstick
to make sure you choose the right color for your skin tone.
Keep A Well-Groomed You
People tend to judge others by the care they put into their hands and their feet.
Nothing says well-groomed louder than nails that are clean and the same length.
Use this makeup tip: If you polish your nails, change or remove the color when it
Have fun experimenting with these tips. Style is a fabulous form of self-expression.
Create your own unique, individual look, and be sure it's one that allows you to
feel comfortable in your own skin.

When you're one of those people who bring it all when they head out on the road, load up the Thule Tahoe Cargo Carrier. With this behemoth roof bag, you have enough room for everything you need, and probably some stuff you don't. The Tahoe features reversible expansion zippers, so you can expand the bag from 15 cubic feet to 17 when your buddy decides to pack a little heavy. Tie down straps make it easy to attach the bag to nearly any factory or after-market rack system, and taped seams and durable water-resistant fabric make road trip rain showers no problem. When you return from your trip, pack the Tahoe down into its storage bag until the urge to hit the road strikes again.

Replace with one of these steel Petzl quick links and you're back in business.
Road Warrior
Our first big road trip tested the Tahoe's mettle. We drove 730 miles from Utah to San Francisco. The weather was brutal leaving town: below freezing with head/cross-winds up to 50 MPH and horizontal snowfall. The Tahoe was a great travel companion. It was quiet/secure, kept our luggage dry, and freed up a TON of space inside the vehicle so the family and I weren't packed to the gills. While still compressed to 15 cubic feet, I was able to fit an oversized suitcase, a carry-on size suitcase, a large duffel bag, and a crib mattress with plenty of room to spare (the carrier could have been expanded an additional 2 cubic feet by unzipping the expansion zippers).
I discovered another advantage of the Tahoe carrier the hard way. When I arrived in San Francisco, I tried to squeeze into our parking garage. It was close but too short - the bag snagged and snapped one of the anchor rings. As a result, one of the front tie down straps couldn't be reconnected. I called Thule customer service and was told that there was no way replacement part for those links (kind of like how you can't buy a replacement lid if you shatter your hardshell cargo box). So I went to a climbing store in San Francisco and purchased the smallest Petzl Quick Link I could find. This solution worked perfectly. Had I made the clearance mistake with a hardshell carrier, it would have been a vastly different ending to the story.
Attached is a picture from the return trip (somewhere in the Nevada wasteland). You can see the steel quick link on the driver's side front strap.
Good carrier for the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
We used the carrier on our trip to the beach. Trip was about 10 hrs each way. Once I got the straps adjusted so they were not flapping against the roof, we couldnt even tell it was up there. I did used an extra rachet strap for added security, but the thing worked wonderful. Good amount of space
Good carrier.
We used the carrier on one trip so far. We drove about 9 hours each way. It held 3 large duffle bags and a small duffle bag with some space left to expand. The straps held the carrier firmly to the top of our Jeep.
Great Warranty
I just used this item on a trip to Maine. The zipper broke. Thule replaced the item no questiosn asked. Great custoemr service. It kept our suitcases dry even with the compartment (as oppsed to the expansion) zipper broke. We used two tie down straps just to make sure the lid stayed in place.
Such a great cargo carrier!
We didn't want to shell out the money for the hard caro carrier and I was seriously doubting that this one would e good. I was so wrong. It holds a tremendous amount of stuff and folds up into a bag that it cOmes with. Very easy to use and store. In so glad we didn't spend the money on te har one!
Pretty cool.
This thing is pretty cool. But it is huuuuuuuuuuuuge! I didn't realize that it would be SO big... so I bought it just for myself thinking it would be practical, (haha) but it's much more practical if you are taking one car filled with 4 or 5 people and have no room anywhere else to put your gear, because like I said, it's huge, and you definately don't need it for a small weekend camping trip with just 2 people. So if you have a party of a carpool, get it. It's also weatherproof, and nothing got in at all. It's soo easy to set up too, idiot proof for sure. The only thing I found disagreeable was that it can have a pretty gnarly wind drag if it's already windy outside, so be careful with that. But I would certainly suggest this as a good product, and I think it was worth the money (which wasn't nearly as much as other carriers...). Happy road-tripping to you all.
Or duct tape -

Will this fit my Subaru Forester that only has Thule load bars? There is nothing to attach to on the sides.
The Thule Tahoe Cargo Carrier will work with any factory or after market roof rack. Obviously it is preferred to have contact points on all four sides, but you will have no problem securing this carrier on a Subaru Forrester with Thule load bars.

Suitcases/luggage, child accessories (pack n play, swing chair, bouncey seat) or all of the above? Potentially traveling with wife,baby and two dogs and would like to know how much storage is available...don't have a huge suv so I'd like to substitute the roof rack/bag for the trunk and rear of said car.
The dimensions are about 41 x 34 x 18 inches providing 17 cubic feet of storage. Based on the actual size of all of your stuff that should give you a good idea of what will and will not fit in the carrier.

can i put suit cases in this ,and how many.also is it waterproof
Suit cases- no problem, 41 x 34 x 18 inches will fit a few. 17 ft³ = 29376.000 in³, Some of the larger suit cases out there aren't more than 9000 cu in., I think you're good. It's made out of Vinyl-coated nylon so it's like a ballistic tarp, very waterproof. If wally world is closed, just take 'em hostage.

|Holyoke train depot the 'largest and best between Lincoln and Denver'
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Tuesday, 15 January 2013 16:28
Featured on the January calendar page in the Enterprise's commemorative 125th anniversary calendar is the train depot in Holyoke, a building that played a special role in the birth of the town.
In the summer of 1887, according to "Those were the Days..." history book, the Burlington and Missouri Railroad decided to build a line from Holdrege, Neb. to Cheyenne, Wyo., leading the way to the Town of Holyoke, which was laid out by the Lincoln Land Company that fall. The railroad reached the Nebraska state line Aug. 7, tracks were laid past Holyoke by Aug. 16 and it was nearing Sterling by Aug. 23.
It's said Holyoke was named after Edward Holyoke, a son-in-law of G.W. Holdrege, then Burlington railroad system general manager.
Two railroad lines formed a junction at Holyoke, one from Holdrege to Akron and the other from Culbertson, Neb. to Cheyenne. By September, two trains ran both east and west every day. Workers were busy the fall of 1887 building a five-stall brick roundhouse and the fabulous $20,000 B&M Eating House with a big fireplace and polished hardwood ballroom floor. The two-story depot, 104 feet long by 32 feet wide (pictured above), was said to be the largest and best depot between Lincoln, Neb. and Denver and the largest and finest building in Holyoke, with the exception of the roundhouse, according to November 1887 newspapers.
On a single day, 90 people could be seen stepping off the train, coming to this new development from the East. Because of the railroad, Holyoke became a bustling town, with a population of 800 by the time it was incorporated 125 years ago on April 24, 1888.

Edgy about the economy
September 29, 2011
One of my favorite movies is the Paul Giamatti classic "Sideways." Given the type of movie it is, that title makes perfect sense.
But when it comes to the economy, the term sideways is also perfectly appropriate, too. How else is there to explain the constant state of "sameness" on a month-to-month basis? This sentiment could apply to several economic indicators like retail sales, industrial production and transportation volumes to name a few.
But that is merely just pointing out the obvious at this point. Since the recession "ended," there have been glimmers of hope here and there, whether it be housing starts up one month or consumer confidence trending up another month. Now, if these things were happening en masse with some sort of meaningful consistency we would really be on to something. Wishful thinking, I know. But we really need to aim high at this point. Why shouldn't we, right?
Even though we all want to aim high when it comes to an economic rebound, that pesky reality thing always seems to get in the way.
For example, we learned from the Department of Commerce this week that durable goods orders in August were down 0.1 percent after rising 4.1 percent in July and August inventories reached a record $365.3 billion, which a Reuters report pointed out should support third quarter growth. But the thing is it could also lead to another inventory overhang in early 2012, when retailers slashed prices to burn off what people did not buy during the holiday shopping season.
This was not a pleasant experience then and there is nothing to suggest it would be any better now, especially when we continue to be stuck in neutral—while Congress alternatively sits on its hands (and periodic good ideas to resuscitate the nation's economic health routinely sit idle before eventually being forgotten about, it seems).
On the plus side, Commerce reported that in the second quarter the U.S. economy grew at a revised rate of 1.3 percent. While this figure is far from stellar—or what is really needed—it indicates slow growth is occurring instead of a recession, according to the Federal Government. It also outpaces the first quarter GDP number, which limped along at a rate of 0.4 percent growth.
Clearly, we need to crawl before we walk when it comes to the economy, but so much more needs to be done. Regardless of your political leanings, there are some decent ideas and proposals on both sides of the aisle. Getting them out there to make a difference in our prospects for future growth is missing and does not seem to be coming our way anytime soon, though, unfortunately.
There have been signs and anecdotal reports that Peak Season prospects are fair at best, but should that prove to be erroneous and things fare better than expected, that would be a nice launching pad for 2012 and beyond. Oh, wait, 2012 is an Election year so hold that thought.

Roger Federer was spotted flashing his Mustached Belly Bump during a practice session at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne for the Sony Ericsson Open. It seems Svetlana Kuznetsova joined the former No.1 during the session (couldn't hurt faltering game I suppose.)
Okay, not usually a fan of MBB's but at least Fed's doesn't make me want to throw up chunks like David Nalbandian's or Vince Spadea's. I mean, theirs even smiled back. GROSS.

mbb?, what mbb? I have to say my eyes went directly to the... shorts. ahem... wowReplyDelete
You guys are so silly, you need to hang out with my wife and the rest of her male friends, it's all good by the way, I just prefer seeing pics of Ana Ivanovic, Maria Karilenko and Tatiana--hmm I love me some Tati.ReplyDelete
Come on Rich, you know old Roger has never been a buff tenista. He's never been muscular, even when he was making the rest of the guys on the tour look like his harem of bitches.
If Fed is serious about playing into his mid 30's ala Andre he's gonna have to lose that gut though. He should drop Nike as his sponsor and switch to Adidas so he can take advantage of Gil and the gang's awesome mentoring techniques. If they can turn old Phau Hawk Fernando in a top tenner I know Roger can start workin on Rafa again. All he needs to do is shore up his backhand and get more aggressive on the 2nd serves.
I want more Tati!
I want more Tati too though I'm thinking in a very different way. But she's still on injured-reserve so we'll have to wait and see.ReplyDelete
If Tati busts out some slutty pics, I'll post them just for you Nate W. Deal?

You are the man. Next time Irina and I come to new york(maybe in September for the Open) we'll have to play some tennis. What level are you? I'm a 4.0--if I didn't serve like Guillermo Coria I'd be a 4.5.
I can't wait to see some skanky Tati pics. My wife is from Venezuela and she always claims how hot Jimy Szymanski is, you heard of him? I'm just trying to return the favor for giving me more access to Tatiana.

I actually went for a hit today (it broke 50 degrees in NYC - I was happy.) My serve has hurting but the groundies were sharp.
Sounds good - hit me up!

natch: ROFL! Can't wait to take on Andre + Steffi at that Wimby exo. I think I'll wear my sneaky pink knickers - for distraction of course. I'll take all the advantages I can get against those two. If I have to use my body, so be it. I've done that for free, so why not when I'm getting paid?ReplyDelete
I swear I played one day in what had to be 75mph winds. I held my own. So I am road-tested and ret-ta-go. But...erm...I was planning on NOT wearing any knickers. We might match (I got burned in some verrrrry unexpected places.)

I'm from Venezuela,and let me tell you that Szymanski kind of looks like Michael J Fox,short,brunette, and baby face.He is now the Venezuelan Davis Cup Captain.
In my opinion Nicolas Pereira, a player who was ranked in his days among the top 50(beat Becker and Muster) looks way better, even in his forties. There is also a current player named De Armas, not so good of but good looking and with a hot body.
I hope you can use this info to please your wife.
