Back to Law Rankings
Prestige isn't everything. These are the firms associates find the most amenable to a satisfying work experience.
Which law firms are the best to work for? For some, this is a
far more important consideration than prestige. To determine our
Best 25 Firms to Work For, we used a formula that weighed the most
relevant categories for an overall quality of life ranking. Each
firm's overall score was calculated using the following
* 25 percent satisfaction * 10 percent hours * 10 percent
compensation * 5 percent associate/partner relations * 5
transparency * 5 percent formal training * 5 percent informal
training and mentoring *5 percent pro bono * 5 percent diversity
(overall) * 10 percent business outlook * 5 percent career outlook
* 10 percent substantive work
Like our Vault Law 100 rankings, our quality of life rankings
are meant to reflect the subjective opinions of associates. These
rankings are based on perceptions of insiders--some of whom may be
biased in favor (or against) their firms.

I sent back, "thanks but no thanks" as I couldn't afford it.
I was contacted several times after that and finally "caved in" when I was offered an "in depth" reading for the "special offer" cost of $40 but that I would have to take up the offer by 5th December.
I received an email telling me that my "reading" would take 3 to 4 days to prepare once my payment was cleared.
The amount appeared on my Mastercard statement on 5th december as 31.51 Euro - Aus$64.19!
After a week of waiting, waiting, I emailed "Angela" and, of course received no response.
Today, I decided to check the company that had appeared on my Mastercard statement and, lo and behold, there it was on the Rip Off site.
I am so mad at letting myself be sucked in by this scam and hope that my report will help others to avoid doing the same.

I have been trying to use WordPress as a CMS, but I seem to have misunderstood the way in which category-[N].php is called. I have searched the site extensively, but have now drawn a blank. I would be grateful for some help. Sorry about the long description of the background; I thought it might be relevent, in case there's something fundamentally wrong with my approach.
Background: Using WP2.5.1, I wanted to be able to post three different types of content: blog posts, articles, and essays. These three menu items were to appear in the top menu, and for each to return a list of the content-type-posts, or in the case of the blog, the five latest blog posts. So far, so good. I have created page templates for essays and articles, by creating essays.php, and declaring it as "Template Name: essaysPage", and then creating a page, using 'essaysPage' in the 'template parent' parameter in 'Write Page', to get a menu item. Then using the line ...query->query('showposts=5'.'&cat=[N]'. ... to restrict the search to the relevent category. The blog works perfectly, and I've got the plugins to not display non-blog posts in the archive, and calender, and recent posts by altering the SQL queries in the plugins. And as I intended, the articles and essay pages, do not show the blog-related sidebars.
Problem: Now, however, although I have created category-[n].php for posts belonging to categories essays and articles, WordPress continues to display the files using single.php, meaning I get sidebars where I don't want them. I had understood that WordPress would pick up on the category for the post, and search first for the template relating to that category. Have I misunderstood anything?
It occured to me that I may have been doing a de-facto 'archive' search, and that perhaps single.php is always the outcome from this kind of search. Is the only solution to put some conditional code into single.php? I am worried that this may be messy.
Thanks. Ben.

Skip to comments.Proposal would stop door-to-door mail for millions
Posted on 05/21/2014 10:24:46 AM PDT by Olog-hai
Millions of Americans would no longer get mail delivered to their door but would go to communal or curbside boxes instead, under a proposed law.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform debated Wednesday a bill to direct the U.S. Postal Service to convert 1.5 million addresses annually over the next decade to the less costly but less convenient delivery method.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but mail delivery is one of the things government does that *is* specifically outlined in the Constitution.
Yes, but the Postal Service was privatized.
The only things specified are the establishment of post offices and post roads, per Article 1 Section 8 Clause 7. Delivery to the doors of houses is not specified.
The post office is becoming an anachronism
I actually like my post office. Its the local gathering place where I chat with my neighbors. Its going to 2 hours per day next month which will be a real treat for people who happen to work during those 2 hours.
Nothing about the establishment of general mills?
Yes, because everyone has a computer or smartphone. Right?
Many millions of us already have this system, or worse, we have to go to the post office.
And the little boxes quickly fill up with the junk mail trash.
Yet no photo ID.
But did the Constitution specify that it would be delivered the last 200 yards?
Curbside boxes do have the advantage that you can put your outgoing mail into one, which you can't do if you have a mail slot in your door.
Sigh. Post office is such a mess! But at least we get mail delivered— in some countries you have to go to the central post office and ask if you have mail or to mail something. And when you get mail it might have already been opened and your packages are stolen, broken, or things missing. If it comes to a curbside group that's still better than not having delivery! And I am ok with delivery only Monday- Friday if it helps control costs.
Nobody in government really knows how to control costs. But yeah, there's no need for Saturday delivery.
Just close the post office and have any delivery service in the area guarantee twice a month delivery to all locations in the areas in which they are licensed.
Pick ups would be on call.
So, change it.
The constitution says merely to establish post offices, not necessarily maintain and definitely not subsidize. The private sector is not excluded by the wording of the law.
I'm for closing it down and selling the buildings. Whatever law is required works for me. Give the employees 3 years to get a job or retire.
it be cheaper to convert the postal system (letters)
to the equivalent of Internet cafes
for sending and receiving
The Obamasmartphone? (An oxymoron, I know.)
Not everyone can or wants to visit internet cafés either.
Fixed it
Yes, but the Postal Service was sort of pseudo government type privatized.
And Fixed it even better:
The Postal service was entirely contracted out to UPS and Fed-Ex.
Outside of the decrease in cost and increase in service, no one noticed!
"Your United States Government - charging FAR more for doing FAR less."
Kind of a catchy slogan, and perfectly apt for the Obama administration.
Of course, in order to begin this conversion, the USPS will have to radically raise postage rates.
Many of us here have to do that.
I probably waste an hour and a half per month shredding junk mail that comes to my door. I don't want it, I didn't ask for it, but it represents enough of a threat to my privacy that I actually have to sit there and run it thru a shredder before throwing it away.
Waste of resources all around.
"Who gets mail anymore?...
We pay almost all our bills electronically"
I get mail—I live in an apartment building——lots of people get mail.
I also have that silly,old fashioned habit of sending thank you notes and sympathy cards.
Of course, the biggest problem is union rules and generous retirement benefits, as well as loads of employees on disability.
If I do need to mail something, I go to the post office to mail it....You cannot leave mail in your mailbox anymore, lest someone will take it.
In Norway, you can put a sticker on your box that says no advertising mail or unaddressed mail and they will honor it.
The key word in your reply was "honor". Hard to use that term referring to any government agency here.
privatize the whole thing and some of this will happen but at least the decisions will be economically rational and not politically fixed
The vast bulk of stuff that arrives in my box in junk mail, flyers, GOP solicitations - all go in the trash. It's a revolving door of trash from curbside mailbox to curbside garbage pickup.
You can call the catalog senders and the political mailers and tell them to take you off their mailing lists. I have found that it really helps.
I tried it, and I didn't notice much difference.
The Post Office is based on junk mail.
I pay most of my bills on line but will not switch to all electronic. I want the bill in the mail. We have crappy DSL service with rotaing brown outs. We get hacked & viruses where our system is down or the PC is physically at my IT guys house.
We have very good postal service here. More reliable than Microsoft.
Oh, that's too bad.
Yes, the PO's bread and butter comes from the junk mailers.
The husband is at the dump right now. Part of his haul for the paper recycling is, of course, the junk mail flyers that we get.
Something the environmentalists and the democrats, are silent on.
The largest source of trash for me is junk mail, and the bold inks and plastics are all a part of that paper trash, as is the energy pollution needed to deliver it and dispose of it, and most of it is in a closed loop of ''created, delivered, trashed'' without ever having been used by us.
we have had a mail slot for years and right next to it we have a decorative clip where we stick anything outgoing. We seldom use it but it works fine when we do.
I do.
We pay almost all our bills electronically.
I don't.
People don't have to pay electrically. They can drop off their bills to a delivery service once or twice a month.
We could also require the delivery services operating in an area to pick up mail twice a month or with a two day notice if called.
Just don't need the post office to take care of luddites or those of us riding off into the sunset.
Give a three year notice and people will figure it out.

The juice of organic vegetables will not only speed up the process of detoxification, it will flood your body with enzymes, vitamins and minerals for quick absorption….and greatly benefit the immune system.
The juice of organic vegetables is rich in nutrients. As the cells of your body are bathed in these fresh, alkaline vegetable juices, they begin to release acids, which are toxins that can then be removed through the elimination channels of the body i.e. the lungs, kidneys, skin etc.
Juicing provides a rich source of live enzymes essential to the digestive process. Enzymes are proteins that break down foods into nutrients your body can readily digest. When you eat, digestive enzymes are released from your saliva glands sending signals to the stomach and small intestine in preparation for digestion.
If you are new to juicing, then start slow and gradually introduce vegetable juice to your body.
Fresh vegetable juice is more concentrated than the vegetables you eat. In addition, the nutrition and benefits of the vegetables are released and made available to the body much faster than if your body were digesting a whole vegetable.
If you are new to juicing, then you will want to begin with more basic vegetables such as carrots, celery, parsnips, cucumber, etc. Then with time, gradually introduce the green vegetables such as dandelion leaves, parsley, beet greens, etc. Purslane and wheat grass are more powerful juices and should be introduced after juicing for a while.
You need to be more careful when using green juices such as broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, dandelion, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, kale and all other greens.
These juices tend to be more powerful and so you will want to start off slow and gradually increase. Ultimately, you never want more than ¼ of your juice to be green juice.
I never drink my green juices alone. Not only are they powerful in that they can cause loose bowel movements, but their taste can be rather strong. Green juices are usually mixed with apple, celery, cucumber or carrots.
Fresh vegetable juice is great, but you are still going to need to eat your veggies too!
Your body is a natural juicer. As an example, when you eat a carrot your body begins to digest it. Essentially, your body extracts the juice from the carrot and then gathers the nutrition from the juice for its bodily functions. Then, the fiber passes through the colon and helps keep you regular.
The benefit of juicing is that you help your body by removing the step required to extract the juice from the vegetable. But in doing so, you also loose the all important fiber.
So continue eating your veggies to get the fiber you need to help maintain regularity. Read more below on what to do with left over pulp from juicing!

There as SOOO many different greens and veggies that you can juice, the possibilities are truly endless. I just listed a few that I have been juicing. It's some powerful stuff! Yesterday I took in 2 1/4 cups of pure green juice! Wow! As soon as glass nears your nose you start thinking of mowing your yard. haha I gulp it down and chase it with an orange wedge. That totally kills the green flavor and all is good. I can tell that I am cleaning house inside of me. This is day two of juicing fasting. The interesting thing has been to find out that my mother loves the flavor of the stuff?!! Never met another like her. She comes over now and I make her anywhere from 2-4 ounces. She drinks it down with a smile on her lips.
We ordered the new vertical Omega juicer and I just love it! I have other great juicers but they can't handle the greens. While we were in San Francisco we witnessed the greatness of this machine at the Home Gourmet convention show. Not only will it juice your carrots but it will juice your kale! It's easy to operate, very quiet, easy to clean and does a great job juicing everything that I have put into it so far. It also comes with a 10 year warranty.
First…I LOVE the Print this Recipe feature!! I will end up with my own Nouveau Raw recipe book! :)
Thanks for all this info…it's funny that after hours and hours of online research on juicers, it was the new vertical Omega that I thought I needed! :)
I love the recipes and the thought of juicing and drinking it…. also the health benefits with juicing and drinking. I am a female with high blood pressure.what veges and fruits would you recommend or would be good for me to drink?. I am also having trouble being regular….please help me. Tasmania

Losses haven't derailed Rainbow Wahine volleyball
By WES NAKAMA
Stephens Media Hawaii
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaii women's volleyball team is reaping the benefits of a traditionally tough early nonconference schedule.
Despite extremely rare back-to-back road losses last week at Cal State Northridge and Cal Davis, the Rainbow Wahine are ranked No. 15 in the latest Ratings Percentage Index, which means they are still in the running for a first and second-round host bid in the NCAA Tournament.
UH is 16-4 overall and a surprising 5-3 in the Big West Conference, tied for third place with Long Beach State (5-3) and two matches behind co-leaders Cal State Northridge and Cal Santa Barbara (both 7-1).
But the Rainbow Wahine still are the only Big West team ranked in the Top 16 in RPI, which is a key ingredient in earning a Top 16 NCAA Tournament seed. By rule, the top 16 teams should receive an opportunity to host the first and second rounds.
Credit early season victories over No. 1 Texas and No. 7 Creighton for UH's still-strong RPI, but another Big West loss surely would be devastating since no other Big West team is even in the top 40.
The Rainbow Wahine return to the Stan Sheriff Center for a crucial homestand vs. Cal Irvine (11-11, 2-6) on Friday and Long Beach State (12-9) on Saturday. Both matches are set for 7 p.m. and will be televised live statewide on OC16.
SOCCER FINALE SUNDAY: With its Big West Tournament hopes all but dashed, the UH women's soccer team will likely play its final game of the season at noon Sunday vs. Cal State Northridge at Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium.
The Rainbow Wahine are 7-8-1 overall and 2-4-1 in the Big West, but what counts most is their point total of 7 (3 points for each victory, 1 point for a tie). That puts them in seventh place, and only the top four teams in the regular season standings will qualify for the tournament.
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (18 points) and Cal Irvine (15) are in, so the final two berths will come from Cal State Fullerton (10), Cal Santa Barbara (9), Cal Riverside (9), Long Beach State (8), Hawaii or Cal Davis (7 each).
But since the maximum points UH can get is 10, the Rainbow Wahine will only be alive in the postseason hunt today if Cal Poly SLO beats Cal Davis and Cal State Fullerton beats Long Beach State. Then on Sunday, Hawaii must beat Cal State Northridge (6-11-1, 1-5-1) and Cal Riverside and Long Beach State must play to a tie, and Cal Davis also must tie or beat UCSB.
The best-case scenario would then be a three-way tie for fourth between Cal Riverside, Hawaii and either UCSB or Cal Davis, each with 10 points.
Whatever the case, Sunday's game will be the final home appearance for Rainbow Wahine seniors Male Fresquez, Bree Locquiao, Karli Look, McKenzie McGoldrick, Chelsea Miyake and Skye Shimabukuro.
MEN'S BASKETBALL EXHIBITION GAME: After nearly an entire month of practice, the UH men's basketball team will finally get to play an exhibition game today vs. Brigham Young-Hawaii at the Stan Sheriff Center. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
The Rainbow Warriors are coming off a 17-15 season and return All-Big West forward Christian Standhardinger and Big West Co-Freshman of the Year Isaac Fotu, along with part-time starters Brandon Spearman and Brandon Jawato, plus transfer point guard Keith Shamburger (a starter at San Jose State in 2012).
WAHINE GOLFERS VIE FOR HISTORIC VICTORY: The UH women's golf team leads the Rainbow Wahine Invitational by two strokes after the second round Wednesday at Leilehua Golf Course. The final round is today.
Hawaii's most recent tournament victory came at the 1996 Lady Bronc Classic.
The Rainbow Wahine have a two-round score of 304-295—599, two strokes ahead of New Mexico State. UH freshman Raquel Ek shot a 1-over 73 and is in third place among individuals at 147 for the tournament.
Ek is trying to become the first Rainbow Wahine individual to win a tournament since Lynne McCool at the Utah-Dixie Classic in 1991.
Four other Rainbow Wahine are in the top 10: Freshman Izzy Leung (tied for fourth, 73-149), sophomore Nichole Cruz, freshman Brianna Becker and senior Charlee Kapiioho (each tied for seventh at 150).

Athens, GA - A trio of Georgia soccer players were named to the 2010 NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-South Region teams, according to a Dec. 2 announcement.
Freshman forward Alexa Newfield was named second team All-Region, while redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Baker and rookie defender Torri Allen both were named to the third team. It is the first regional honor for each.
Newfield – also a first team All-SEC and All-Freshman selection – was tied for the team lead in goals this season with eight, adding four assists for a team-best 20 points. She broke the Georgia single-season record for shots, firing 87 on the year while also leading the team with three game-winning goals.
Baker, a second team All-SEC pick in 2010, led the Southeastern Conference with nine shutouts this past season, stringing together 561 minutes of scoreless soccer during the month of October and allowing only 19 goals all season. Her 0.60 goals-against average in league games was tops in the SEC.
Allen adds the All-Region honor to her resume after garnering an SEC All-Freshman nod for her play on the Georgia back line. Allen helped the Bulldog defense to just a 0.85 goals-against average on the season. She came up with a huge defensive save vs. Kentucky to preserve the Bulldogs' shutout with just 19 minutes to play, deflecting a ball shot at an empty Georgia net.
Three selections to the All-Region team matches the most in a season for the Bulldogs, tying the 1998, 1999, 2007, and 2009 campaigns. The SEC had 18 players included.
The Bulldogs went 11-6-4 in 2010, reaching the semifinals of the SEC Championships in Orange Beach, Ala.

LAX dogs provide different kind of security
From an Irish wolfhound named Finn to a Rottweiler named Maggie Mae, 29 dogs of various breeds are providing a different kind of security for travelers at Los Angeles International Airport.
The dogs have been comforting frazzled travelers for a year now, through a program called PUP, or Pets Unstressing Passengers.
Finn started last November, the day after a gunman opened fire at Terminal 3 and left a Transportation Security Administration officer dead, according to the Los Angeles Times
"I think after the shooting, Finn attracted attention because he represented something comforting," owner Brian Valente said in an airport statement. "As passengers asked questions about Finn and started to pet him, I could see their bodies relax and their demeanors change."
The one-year anniversary of the program was marked yesterday at a meeting of the L.A. Board of Airport Commissioners.
The dogs all wear bright red vests, and mingle with passengers in post-security-screening areas. The program is aimed at reducing the anxiety of travelers by letting them pet and play with the dogs.
The dogs are registered with Therapy Dogs, a national organization that supports pets that visit places such as hospitals, nursing homes and other special needs centers.

Air Canada manages to lose a dog, rip the media and bash a country — all in one week
Here's a dog story that proves accidents can happen, and then happen again.
Usually it's no big deal, but when it's an airline making the mistakes, and they're strictly the result of carelessness, we have to wonder a bit.
In this case, the first boo boo came when an Air Canada employee in San Francisco decided that, due to a flight delay, a dog being flown to a new adoptive home in Canada needed a potty break. When he let the Italian greyhound out of his crate, Larry escaped.
Jutta Kulic, while attending a dog show in Sacramento, had dropped Larry off at the San Francisco airport. She zip-tied the crate, and instructed the airline not to open it for any reason. Larry, who belonged to a friend of Kulic's who died of cancer, was on his way to a new home — or so she thought.
That flight ended up being delayed, and later that night, Kulic received a call from Air Canada telling her Larry had run away.
After talking with Kulic about what had happened, CBS13 in Sacramento reached out to Air Canada (that's what TV news people do these days, "reach out") which generally means sending an email.
That's when the airline made its second blunder.
The email an airline representative sent to the station, apparently accidentally, wasn't meant for public consumption. Instead, it was an internal exchange about how to handle the media inquiry:
"I think I would just ignore, it is local news doing a story on a lost dog," read the email from Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick. "Their entire government is shut down and about to default and this is how the US media spends its time."
Later the airline sent another email to the station, this time with the requisite apologies and saying the incident was being investigated.
Kulic said she is afraid she'll never see Larry, who is brown and white and two years old, again.
But the family in Canada says they're still hoping he might be found and delivered to them.

Vermont resort turns (kinda) dog friendly
Vermont's only 5-Star resort — at least in the view of Forbes — has gone dog-friendly.
Three of the 20 units at Twin Farms, most of which are freestanding cottages, will now permit dogs, at least those under 100 pounds.
Located 10 miles outside of Woodstock on the 300-acre former estate of author Sinclair Lewis, the luxury resort has long been praised by Forbes magazine, and others, including the Zagat Survey, which deemed it the nation's best small hotel, with the best service and the best rooms.
But up until now, dogs have never been allowed.
Forbes contributor Larry Olmsted, amid much gushing about the resort's amenities, writes that three cottages have been proclaimed dog-friendly (Woods, Meadows and Log Cabin), and that the resort now has a house dog — "Maggie, a golden retriever who as Canine Guest Service Manager will gladly lead her fellow four legged guests for a swim in the pond."
Twin Farms offers canoeing, kayaking, fly fishing, extensive hiking trails, a fleet of bicycles, ski areas and spa treatments, a pub and Japanese bath house and, Olmsted notes, fine dining.
"… Each guest is sent a lengthy questionnaire before arriving and every meal is a work of art crafted specially for that day with carefully paired wines. All the meals wine and top shelf liquor are part of the nightly rate, even if you want bubbly and chocolate chip cookies delivered to your room at midnight. Want to go for a hike and have someone meet you on a remote hilltop with a lavish gourmet picnic hamper and wine? Done. Want to ride a bike mostly downhill ten miles to the charming town of Woodstock and then get picked up? Done. Ski lessons? Done."
The resort touts itself as "a sanctuary of unsurpassed luxury and quiet ease" and calls itself "all inclusive" — but that's in reference to its amenties, not its dog philosophy. Dogs who weigh 130 pounds, like my Ace, probably wouldn't use that term.
So we won't be giving you a first-hand report on Twin Farms — at least not until its policies change, my bank account grows, or Ace loses a bunch of weight.

A $73,000 doggie vacation
Calling all rich fools: Two British companies have partnered up to offer your dog a spectacular luxury dog holiday.
The cost is $73,000, which we assume covers a week's worth of boarding along with all the other perks — surfing lessons, reiki sessions, grooming, a new wardrobe, a personal chef and much more.
These, mind you, are services the dog will receive, presumably while his or her owners are on vacation somewhere else, assuming they have any money left to take one.
Behind the ridiculous gimmick are Paw Seasons, a luxury dog hotel in Bristol, England, and VeryFirstTo.com, a company specializing in luxury experiences.
It will be made available to only one dog, said VeryFirstTo.com founder Marcel Knobil.
"It'll definitely be an individual or couple who enjoy an extravagant lifestyle. While they go off to the Caribbean they want their pet to have an equally enjoyable, extravagant stay where they are," Knobil said. "It's for those who enjoy the finer things in life and have a sense of humor. They have a soft spot for their dog and want them to have the best time possible."
Highlights of the "Spectacular Luxury Dog Holiday" include chauffeured rides by the Paw Season's hotel driver, a private suite showing dog movies on a screen, a doghouse built to replicate the one the dog has at home, local beach and countryside walks, a running session with hurdles World Champion Dai Greene, a day with author and dog behavior expert Stan Rawlinson, and a grooming at the Pet Spa at Harrods that includes aromatherapy bath and body massage.
No one has signed up yet, but Knobil told ABC News. "We're pretty hopeful. We know it's extravagant, but it's a fabulous time for the dog and benefits two very good causes."
The companies say $10,000 from the sale of the package will be split between two charities — Cancer Research U.K. and Battersea Dogs Home.

Crated daughter leads to charges
The parents of a 10-year-old girl have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after holiday travelers spotted the girl riding in a crate with the family dog.
Authorities received multiple calls about the girl Monday evening after she was seen in the crate, in the back of a pick-up truck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
When the couple was tracked down near their home in Millvale, they told police their daughter had requested to be with the dog (pictured at left).
The girl did not appear harmed, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Abbey Carlson, 29, and Thomas Fishinger, 30, were arraigned Tuesday morning and released on their own recognizance. They are due in court June 6 for a preliminary hearing.
An eastbound motorist on the turnpike in Beaver County called state police at 7:01 p.m. to report seeing a girl in a dog cage in the bed of the pickup, troopers said. Troopers received a second call a few minutes later from another motorist near the Butler County line.
Motorists provide a license number of the pickup, state troopers said. They traced the registration and alerted officers in Millvale, where the family lives. The truck was pulled over near their home. The couple told police they were driving home from his mother's house in Beaver County.
According to The Smoking Gun, Fishinger was arrested less than a week ago on charges of identity theft and access device fraud, but released from jail after making bail.

Privileged Pooch: Going pupscale in SoCal
After perusing "The Privileged Pooch, Luxury Travel with Your Pet in Southern California," I've decided if Ace and I ever run into author Maggie Espinosa and her dog, Marcel, on the road … they're buying.
Unlike my Travels with Ace project, "The Privileged Pooch" – not to be confused with the fine pet boutique in Baltimore of the same name – is a guidebook that focuses on high end luxury travel with your pet.
"Now you can share Southern California's celebrity lifestyle with your furry friend," reads the summary on the back of the book. "The days of staying at substandard hotels and dining at drive-thru's when traveling with the family pet are over."
Not for me, they ain't. But that's not the point.
Espinosa's point is that bringing a dog along on your trip no longer automatically relegates you to economy-level accommodations. And her book, provides plenty of examples, in highly readable form, of where you can stay, play and eat with your pet — in Palm Springs, Orange County, San Diego, Santa Barbara and greater Los Angeles.
High-end establishments are starting to wise up to the fact that about 10 million pets each year vacation with their owners — and that many of those owners are from the demographic at which tourism-related businesses commonly take aim.
"The Privileged Pooch" lists 69 hotels (not a Motel 6 among them), 55 restaurants, 56 dog-friendly activities and 38 "trendy shops" where you and your dog are welcome.
Espinosa has done some culling, weeding out those establishments that have too many restrictions or silly and unrealistic weight limits. (For the dogs, I mean. Southern California doesn't have weight limits for people. Yet.)
She uses a rating system of one wag to four wags for pet friendliness — one being "pooches permitted," four being "pooches paradise."
At the latter, you might find such features as special puppy menus, a "togetherness massage" for you and your dog (at Casa Laguna Inn & Spa) or "blueberry and plum pet facials" at a dog-friendly spa called The Healthy Spot.
Espinosa and her bichon frise, Marcel, tested all 69 hotels, and each section of the book, region by region, includes recommendations for everything from dog-friendly beaches to emergency veterinary care.
Our favorite example was the Doggie Bus in Tustin, which totes dogs and their humans to the beach at no charge. An Orange County man started providing the service not to get rich, but simply because he enjoyed doing it.
Now that's dog-friendly.

Though i have already seen all of the three movies (with the extended montaz) more that 10 times each i consider my self to be more that a beginer in the world of Tolkien as i just now started to read "The fellowship of the ring".
So I would like to ask who is "Eleasar". This is how Galadriel calls Aragorn when she says good bye to him (in the first of the three movies) and also this is how the great eye calls Aragorn in the last movie just before the last battle. Why Aragor weeps at that moment?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On May 3, 2013, I took my company's 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 in to have a ABC issue resolved. I drove the car in with a noticable lean on the left rear.
The right rear, front right & front left were all normal height. Within about 30 minutes, the service advisor John A Bell came to let me know that they "killed my suspension" by letting out the presure from the ABC system (they drop the presure to 0.0 psi). He stated that "your ABC pump is now dead." Guess what? The car was now sitting flat on the ground with some damage to all four wheel wells, 4 tires, undercarage and other mechanicals.
To my shock, Mr. Bell presented me with a repair estimate for $3800.00 for damage they caused. I drove in with a car that was drivable with a extremely smooth ride quality and now had to have it towed away from International Autos - Mercedes-Benz with significant dealer-caused damage to my vehicle. [continued below]....
My cost for an International Autos Mercedes Benz induced "low-rider": $89.99 less 10% or $79.99 PLUS $128.00 towing charge. Mr Bell actually charged to make my S55 UN-DRIVABLE!
Buyers of Mercedes-Benz and those who need service, beware of this shady dealership and service center.
It's been a week since International Autos wrecked my car and all I get this week is a recorded phone message from them trying to sell me another car!!!
It's sad to say that I leased an Infiniti I30t several years back from IA. Thank goodness I never let IA service my company's 2000 Mercedes Benz S430!
Word to the wise, protect your vehicular asset and maintain your valuable investment by shopping elsewhere for MB service, parts and vehicles.
Word to Mercedes-Benz USA, this is not a dealer you need on your roster of dealers as they seem to have a pure distain for your product, your revenue and your reputation. Please contact me as I would love to discuss this dealer with you in greater detail.
Word to lenders, beware of funding offered to this organization (especially floor loans), as many customers will not buy nor service product from them, making it more difficult for them to repay your bank loans. Loan Defaults may be coming soon. Don't offer them loans or raise their interest rate to protect your bank's and shareholder's assets.
Negative or -5 Stars is my rating.
If you have been harmed by this dealer let me know. Also, you may file a complaint with the State of Wisconsin with this link:

Next summer it's the hope of college professors, that Troy Dothan students will attend the University of Saint La Salle to learn various administrative techniques.
On the other hand, Filipino students will stay in Dothan to learn about our culture and how education is taught here.
The plans for the exchange program are in the works.
The trip next summer is expected to last 2 weeks.

Gothenburg drops pair at triangular
BARTLEY—Once a volleyball team gets in the hole, rally scoring makes it tough to get things turned around.
That's what happened to the Swedes at the Southwest triangular on Sept. 7.
Gothenburg missed five serves in the first set against Sutherland and despite strong all-around play in the second set dropped the match to the Sailors 25-21, 23-25, 25-16.
"We had a rotation change in the first set and I think it threw things off," said coach Becky Costello. "I held Abie Jensen out because she's been battling an injury."
In the second set, Costello said the girls worked together well and played as a unit.
"I don't think Joslyn (Oliver) missed a hit (in the second set) and Jacey (Wiggins) was playing well from the right side," the coach said.
But serve receive broke down in the third set and Sutherland (3-4) took advantage of the rally scoring to win.
Southwest (7-1) had a strong middle blocker, Costello said, that the Swedes struggled to hit past.
Southwest defeated Gothenburg 25-16, 25-10.
Costello called the Roughriders disciplined and scrappy.
"They've traditionally had a good team," the coach said. "For us to do well, we're going to have to pass well and that wasn't happening,"
Oliver was 15-for-18 hitting on the night with eight kills.

Friday, yes two days later the car literally sounds like it exploded under the hood at a stop sign. Friendly passerbyers look under the hood and too my dismay they started naming on different things wrong like welll no wonder there is no coolant in the vehicle or how long the lights been on or check out your fan and water pump. I was mortified. I called the towing number they, DMC, had given.. guess what??? the vehicle was not even registered like they said and the towing company said that i could still get the vehicle towed for 75 dollars per mile....
I called DMC as the sheiriff pushed me out of the middle of the road and they said they "Dont do towing"... um they did that day. Come to find out something was wrong with the car the motor was worthless and needed to be replace probably among other things. Now they want to "fix" it. I was sold a worthless car. i could go on as this saga will surely play out in court.

I have a feed that looks almost exactly like the "complex example" given in the manual for chicagocrime.org:
class DocumentComments(Feed): feed_type = Atom1Feed def get_object(self, bits): if len(bits) != 1: raise InternetDraft.DoesNotExist return InternetDraft.objects.get(filename=bits[0])
I assumed that since that method existed, it would be called for all requests, and a request for the "base" url of the feed would result in the DoesNotExist exception. Instead, I get "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'filename'", since in link() I use obj.filename and obj is getting set to None.
I don't like having a known url for a 500 error, since I expect users to try to hack the urls and see what they can see.
I've attached a proposed diff. It always calls get_object, and creates a default get_object method that returns None. This should keep the existing behavior (and, in fact, works fine with my other feeds that don't take objects), and allows the user's class to handle a bits=[] if they would like to.
With the existing setup, the only way I can think of to not provide a 500 error when visiting this feed without an additional URL portion is to test for obj == None in the link method, and I can only do that because I know that the link one is the first one called - way too much internal knowledge of the feed class.

I was banging my head reading the docs, trying to work out how this could have worked as is, and finally checked chicagocrime.org. They are throwing a 500 error there: http://www.chicagocrime.org/rss/beats/

Yeah, this is an annoyance in the feeds system and should be fixed.

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by Andy Gayton <andy-django@…>
- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Triage Stage changed from Accepted to Ready for checkin
- fixed up usage of tabs in the original patch
- added stripping out empty strings from bits to the patch - it seems like
if len(bits) != 1: raise InternetDraft.DoesNotExist
should handle the case of an empty url, instead of having:
return InternetDraft.objects.get(filename=bits[0])
hit the db with an empty string.
- added a failing (now passing) unit test
- updated docs

I feel like I'm going against the grain by strictly testing at the unit level.
syndication-500-2-alt.diff is an alternate patch, which tests things by invoking the full request stack. It's less unit-y, but might be more inline with the django way of doing things.
