Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer Testimonials
Edmond El Dabe, is the best Attorney I know, his Law Firm represented me in a complicated personal injury case. He was aggressive, kind, honest, understanding, and very fair with me. His staff keep me informed at all times with what was going on with my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer. Thanks so very much! Edmond El Dabe Law and Staff.
-Phyllis W., Laguna Beach, CA
My son was crossing the street in K-Town when he was hit by a car. He broke his legs. The report from the police said Michael was jaywalking and running but he wasn't. My husband and I hired Edmond and he educated us about what an unmarked crosswalk is. Not all the crosswalks in LA are marked with lines going across the street and the drivers still have to stop for pedestrians, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, crossing the street. Edmond spoke with the insurance company for us and they paid for all his medical bills very fast.
-Hadrian C., Los Angeles, CA
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that this firm took on my case. I was in a 5 car pile up with, of course, my car being the last. El Dabe took on my case without a sweat and managed to get both insurance companies to settle. This entire process took over a year and I honestly felt zero stress from it. He and his firm answered any questions I had, they were pleasant and reassuring. Bottom line is that this firm was willing and able to do their job successfully, and I was stress free.

Is your distributor a real partner or just an order taker?
Making this determination means analyzing whether your supplier is fulfilling your basic needs. Here's what a healthy partnership can do for a restaurant owner:
• Increase your profits by reducing costs. Great partners will suggest new menu ideas from their product line. They will pass along cost savings opportunities and labor saving best practices they've come across, including seasonal purchases that are of great quality and low cost. Partners will also prepare quarterly reviews that highlight areas of opportunity for your business.
• Increase your sales. Your distributor should ask you how business is going and offer to help you boost sales or customer frequency. After all, increased sales for you translate to more case volume on their truck.
• Attract new customers. Good suppliers will be aware of market trends and will share them with you. Tapping into these trends early on will help bring new customers to your establishment.
• Retain customers. A supportive partner will help you evaluate what's working and ensure that your decisions take into consideration what your current customers like and want.
• Provide a reliable source for products and services. It may sound simplistic, but if your distributor doesn't care about your business, there is no downside to telling you that they are out of product and services that you need and depend on. A good partner will help keep that to a bare minimum.
• Reduce costs through manufacturer deals and better yields. Your supplier knows what cost savings are available and a true partner will ensure that you are aware of them and how they can be used to positively impact your bottom line.
• Help you stay out of trouble with the health department. A savvy distributor knows how to help you comply with OSHA and local health department standards.
• Allow you to gain a competitive edge. Does your distributor fully understand your business and know what makes it successful? A great partner knows this and contributes to your strategy.
Think about this: Is your distributor the one that other distributors are reacting to, or is the reverse true? In other words, is your supplier partner proactive on your behalf?
It's generally true that if a customer is just working with the least expensive distributor, then that customer will always be replacing distributors. If a distributor is just selling groceries or moving boxes, then that distributor will always be replacing lost customers. A true partnership is truly valuable, on many levels.

What Impact Does the Environment Have on Us?
Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to survive, which means that we have an innate awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical comfort, such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer experience and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are equally important in healthcare as well.
Below are just a few examples of how the environment can impact you.
- The environment can facilitate or discourage interactions among people (and the subsequent benefits of social support). For example, an inviting space with comfortable chairs and privacy can encourage a family to stay and visit with a patient.
- The environment can influence peoples' behavior and motivation to act. For example, a dingy corridor filled with extra hospital equipment will invite staff to leave another item in the hall, whereas a clean corridor and adequate storage will encourage staff to take the time to put the item away.
- The environment can influence mood. For example, the results of several research studies reveal that rooms with bright light, both natural and artificial, can improve health outcomes such as depression, agitation, and sleep.
What about stress?
Perhaps most importantly for health, the environment can create or reduce stress, which in turn impacts our bodies in multiple ways. This is because our brain and our nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are constantly interacting. As neuroscientist Candice Pert puts it, "What you are thinking at any moment is changing your biochemistry."
Thus, the stress of a noisy, confusing hospital room might result in a patient not only feeling worried, sad, or helpless, but experiencing higher blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension. In addition, hormones released in response to the emotional stress could suppress the patient's immune system, causing his wounds to heal more slowly.
Stress is an important medical consideration, and creating an environment that reduces stress is a key piece of improving health outcomes.
For more information on stress and how it impacts the body, see Mind-Body Therapies.
What is the evidence?
There is a great deal of very rigorous research that links the physical environment of hospitals to health outcomes. According to Ulrich and Zimming, authors of the 2004 report, The Role of the Physical Environment in the 21st Century Hospital, there are more than 600 credible studies that show how aspects of healthcare design can influence medical outcomes.
Essentially, this research shows that the conventional ways hospitals have been designed contribute to stress and adverse patient and staff outcomes. Poor design can adversely impact health and wellbeing, as well as staff productivity and ability to deliver great patient care. For example, because of poor design, nurses in most hospitals spend a great deal of time just gathering the material they need for care. One study showed that almost one-third of nursing staff time was spent walking. (Ulrich, p5.)
On the other hand, improving the physical environment can make healthcare settings less stressful, safer, and better places to work.
Experts in the new area of evidence-based design have identified five environmental attributes that can have a large impact on health outcomes. The research demonstrates that improvement in these areas reduces stress and improves patient outcomes:
- Increase connection to nature. Many studies produce strong evidence that even three to five minutes of contact with nature can significantly reduce stress and have a complex impact on emotions, reducing anger and fear and increasing pleasant feelings. This effect can be achieved by providing: views to the outside, interior gardens or aquariums, or art with a nature theme.
- Offer patient options and choices. This increases the patient's sense of control, which can significantly lessen stress. Options include the ability to: adjust lighting and temperature, choose music, select places to sit, and control the timing of meals. In addition, better wayfinding (signs and information about where to go) reduces disorientation and helps patients feel in control, as does better hospital layouts that allow frail patients to be more independent in getting around.
- Enhance social support. There is extensive evidence that social support from family and close friends has important benefits. For example, studies show that social support improves recovery in heart patients, and emotional wellbeing and quality of life in late-stage cancer patients. Social support can be enhanced by providing waiting rooms and lounges with comfortable furniture that can be arranged as desired, designing patient rooms to accommodate visitors, and making it comfortable for visitors to stay overnight.
- Reduce environmental stressors such as noise, glare, and poor air quality. Noise causes stress (as evidenced by increased heart rate and blood pressure and reduced oxygen levels in the blood in both adults and babies) and is related to adverse medical outcomes. Good design can reduce noise from paging systems, equipment, alarms, roommates, and staff by reducing the sources and by increasing sound absorption.
- Provide pleasant diversions. In one example, heart surgery patients in intensive care who viewed nature (landscape scenes) reported less anxiety/stress and needed fewer pain medications than a control group with no pictures. Diversions may include: artwork of nature (not abstract art), fireplaces, videos of nature, and aquariums.
Changes in these areas help create a healing environment that is psychologically supportive for patients, families, and staff. And many hospitals and healthcare settings are applying these findings. To find out how, see the section: What Is Happening in Healthcare Settings Today?

It appears that the Black's farm was that on John Black, who in 1850 was 75 years old. The Census Report for that year, lists John; sons, William,29; James,21; and Robert, 19; and daughters, Agnes, 14; and Jenet, 12. A Christina is not listed. However, the 1870 and 1880 census reports, list Hugh Eadie and wife, Christina, and living in the household is Jessey Black, niece. Jessie, born in 1859, also is listed as the daughter of William Black. There was no listing of Eadie/Edie in the 1860 Springdale Census Report, even though all of their neighbors were tallied in the census.
Hugh Eadie/Edie's farm neighbors on the Fargo, Malone, and Dryden farms, which were all on the north west portion of the township.. Although I could not locate the Black farm, but it may have been close to the McPherson and Miles farms which were on the southeast corner of the township.I believe this to be likely because the names around the Black family were all neighbors of McPherson in the 1860s. In addition, J.P.'s diary indicated that he cut corn for Mr. Black for several days during that first harvest season of 1850 in Springdale.
Hugh Edie
as presented on page 112,
Centennial History of the Town of Springdale,
Dane County, Wisconsin, 1848-1948
Hugh Edie, Scotch pioneer, was building a long cabin next to Fargo's in 1856. While doing this he slept on the floor at Fargo's. When the cabin was ready he walked to Blacks's farm, near Sugar river, for his bride. They walked back, stopping on the way at Rev. James Donald's, near Fargo's to be married., then came on to their cabin. This was Feb. 10, 1857. The log cabin was dedicated that night by ther Scotch neighbors. Peter White mixed the toddy. "And he made it strong enough," reported one of the neighbors in later life.( The above may be part of the "Interview Harvey Fargo, Oct. 5, 1939"
Note:Fargo, Malone, Dryden, Edie, and McCord are all neighbors. )

Most of last night's Indiana School Board meeting discussion focused on the possibility of closing one of the district school buildings, a topic that has been ongoing for years.
Academic Committee chair Brian Peterson recommended that there was not sufficient time to close a school building for the 2013-2014 school year. Board member Allison Billon disagreed, saying that there was, indeed, enough time.
Board Member Walter Schroth made a concession, amending the motion to say that the board would wait and discuss the issue further at the beginning of next year, unless a financial emergency arises. Mainly, this means funding from the state and federal levels. The motion to move fifth grade to the junior high was tabled on the same concession.
However, the administration was instructed to study the possibility of grade realignment.
A motion passed allowing the district to enter into an agreement with the Indiana Area Education Association to higher licensed practical nurses instead of registered nurses.
In other news, there were some community groups that were unhappy that some district facilities were reserved by the recreation department, but were going unused according to Allison Billon. Evidently, some of the newer after school programs never materialized. The recreation department has first priority over facilities. Superintendent Dale Kirsch said that if facilities are lying dormant the administration should be contacted so that other groups can be approved to use them.

Product Description
Rikki Taylor creates highly decorative and colorful ceramic wares using high-density white ware clay. Each piece is hand-crafted by throwing the individual pot on a potter's wheel, using a hand building technique or some combination of both.
Rikki's ceramic career began in 1975 while attending college in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She became totally immersed in the process. With the endless creation of ceramic work and advances in the technical and safety aspects of clay, it was only a natural progression for her to move from the subtle earth tones of stoneware to the bright and dynamic colors of underglazes. The wonderful end results are Rikki's eclectic creations of fun, bright and colorful ceramic art. Notably, Rikki's work Running Man was purchased and resides in the Smithsonian's Renwick Museum of American Craft.
Microwavable and dishwasher safe; approximately 6 1/2" high; holds 32 oz.

Description of Research Expertise
Area of Expertise:
Bone metabolism, stem cell biology, growth plate development, cancer bone metastasis, and signal transduction
Area of Special Interest:
The human skeleton is a dynamic tissue, constantly undergoing remodeling through coupled activities of two cells: the bone-resorbing osteoclast and the bone-forming osteoblast. A shift in the balance of these two actions toward resorption leads to osteoporosis, a silent disease characterized by excessive bone loss and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to bone fragility and fracture. Osteoblasts are derived from mesenchymal progenitors, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and committed osteoprogenitors. Convincing evidence suggests that there are decreases in the number and proliferative capacity and increases in senescence and apoptosis of mesenchymal progenitors in aging and osteoporotic populations. Bone formation by osteoblast lineage cells is controlled by a variety of growth factors and hormones. Our laboratory is interested in understanding their downstream signaling pathways that regulate the biology of bone formation, with a special focus on parathyroid hormone (PTH1-34, teriparatide), the only FDA-approved anabolic treatment for osteoporosis.
One area of our interest is addressing the essential role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in regulating bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor pool and mediating the effect of PTH on bone formation. We have demonstrated that amphiregulin, an EGFR ligand, is one of the highest PTH-stimulated genes in osteoblasts and osteocytes. Activation of EGFR signaling in mesenchymal progenitors stimulates their proliferation, survival, and migration. Blocking EGFR activity in mice leads to defective bone formation and an osteopenic phenotype which are accompanied by a reduction in the number of mesenchymal progenitors. More importantly, mice deficient in osteoblast lineage EGFR activity have a poor anabolic response to PTH-induced bone formation. We utilize transgenic and pharmacological mouse models in combination with molecular, biochemical, and imaging assays for these studies.
Our second line of interest is investigating molecular mechanisms by which PTH treatment rescues bone loss and osteoporosis induced by radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is often used to eliminate tumor cells but it has negative effects on neighboring normal tissues including bone, causing acute and chronic problems such as osteoradionecrosis, osteoporosis, and fractures. The primary radiation damage to bone is local tissue atrophy, characterized by loss of functional osteoblasts, marrow adiposity, and microvascular impairment. We found that daily injections of PTH1-34 largely prevents bone loss and deterioration of bone structure in irradiated rodent bone and that the major mechanism appears to be protection of mature osteoblasts and bone marrow mesenchymal progenitors. One interesting finding is that PTH is capable of promoting DNA double strand break (DSB) repair in irradiated osteoblasts and thus protecting osteoblasts from radiation-induced cell death. Innovative approaches, such as small animal radiation research platform (SARRP) that replicates the effects of focal radiation therapy, in vivo µCT imaging and longitudinal tracking of the same trabecular bone, and lineage tracing in genetically modified mouse models are used for this project.
The third area of interest is identifying and functionally characterizing a distinct mesenchymal progenitor population within bone marrow. Mesenchymal progenitor cells are traditionally isolated from the central region of long bones (central mesenchymal progenitors) and therefore, they are distant from bone surface. We have established a unique enzymatic digestion approach to isolate endosteal bone marrow cells that are close to bone surface and found that they contain a much higher frequency of mesenchymal progenitors than central bone marrow cells. We further demonstrated that endosteal mesenchymal progenitors have superior proliferation, greater immunosuppressive activity, and more responsiveness toward aging and PTH injection than central mesenchymal progenitors and therefore, represent a biologically important target for future mesenchymal stem cell studies. We are currently exploring the difference between these two populations of bone marrow mesenchymal progenitors with a special interest on their interactions with surrounding bone marrow environment.
Lastly, our group is interested in delineating the critical role of EGFR in regulating cartilage extraceullar matrix degradation. Growth plate development is a critical step in endochondral bone formation and longitudinal bone growth. This process, including chondrocyte proliferation, maturation, mineralization, matrix remodeling and transition from cartilage to bone, is tightly controlled by circulating systemic hormones and locally produced growth factors. We recently found that rodents lacking of chondrogenic EGFR activity develop profound defects in growth plate cartilage characterized by epiphyseal growth plate thickening and massive accumulation of hypertrophic chondrocytes. The underlying mechanisms include stimulating the chondrogenic expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and promoting osteoclastogenesis at the chondro-osseous junction. Study of this project will shed new light on growth defect diseases, such as chondrodysplasia, retarded growth and reduced final height, and degenerative cartilage diseases, such as osteoarthritis.

text: I unfortunately had problems breastfeeding my DD after one week. I had issues and was using nipple shields but all of a sudden she just didn't want to feed. My DH and I decided to exclusively pump and bottle feed her and take it from there. At first I was pumping out about 2 ounces. Eventually my breasts could not keep up with my DD demand and so we needed to substitute her demand with formula. My supply has now gone down even further to about 1 and half ounces if I'm lucky. I pump every 3 hours and try and sit on there for as long as I can. I have found that even if I sit on the pump for an hour there is nothing coming out. So my question is, is it a case that I need to be on the pump every hour? Should I be trying to pump longer? I was using the Phillips Avant electronic pump and we have now rented out a machine from the pharmacy which is a lot stronger and obviously it takes a lot quicker too. Any help or suggestions would be a great help.

Chicken stir-fry in a spicy peanut sauce
A stir-fry is an easy go-to dinner. To stir-fry means to cook foods quickly in a small amount of oil over high heat. The only real work and time is in chopping and slicing the ingredients. The spicy peanut sauce is the highlight of in today's recipe with its mix of crushed red pepper and gingerroot. Adjust the sauce to your own taste. Serving the stir-fry on whole wheat angel-hair pasta is a nutrition boost, providing 4 grams of fiber per serving.
Chicken stir-fry in a spicy peanut sauce
Serves: 6 / Preparation time: 15 minutes / Total time: 30 minutes
2 cups cooked whole wheat angel-hair pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons pasta cooking water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons dry sherry
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame oil or canola oil, divided
1 1/2 cups carrots, julienned
1/2 cups red bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 cups snow peas, halved
1 1/2 cups onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, optional
6 lime wedges, optional
Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sherry and chicken strips; toss well to coat.
In a small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, gingerroot, garlic, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons reserved pasta water.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast strips and saute 5 to 8 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned. Remove chicken from pan. Add remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add carrots, red bell pepper, snow peas and onion; saute vegetables 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cooked pasta to the vegetable mixture; gently toss. Top mixture with the peanut butter sauce and gently stir to combine. Sprinkle with salt; stir to combine. If desired, top each serving with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Completion of Corridor up to state legislators
It seems to me that about two years ago, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, along with Reps. Nick Rahall and Shelley Moore Capito, introduced a bill that would allow any state that was part of the Application Resource and Infrastructure Fund and had projects that still needed to be completed to be able to borrow the funds from the states that were showing a surplus. In this case, it would be our State of West Virginia borrowing the monies needed to complete Corridor H.
Under the outline of the bill, West Virginia would borrow the money with either a 0 percent interest or up to a half a point of interest. Our state then could use the money to complete the Corridor H project. That being said, last year it was stated in The Inter-Mountain that all of the surveying and engineering for the construction of the project had been completed. This means if the state can borrow the funds needed, the section of the project that need to be completed can be let for bid. This, of course, is contingent on the money being available and our state being able to receive these funds under the guidelines of the bill that Rockefeller, Rahall, and Capito sponsored and passed both Houses last year.
Depending on how quickly our state legislators move on this would mean how soon the Corridor H project could be completed and move up the completion date of 2034 to within the next 10-15 years. This, of course, would make the highway a major highway in the state of West Virginia, and the interstate and intrastate commerce that would move across the corridor would mean higher revenue for our state and the communities that border on Corridor H. The ease of access from the eastern part of our country to West Virginia for skiing, fishing, camping and whitewater rafting would be a boom to our economy. Not to say that major industry would also be looking to maybe set up shop here in our state, and along with that comes jobs that would put our people back to work.
This is all good, but now it's up to our state legislators, and I truly hope they see the need for the completion of the corridor project. So let them know that you would like for them to act on this for the betterment of our state.

McDONALDâS BETSY RAWLS GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP
White Manor Country Club
Malvern, Pennsylvania
July 26-29, 2004
MALVERN, Pa. â Amanda Blumenherst of Scottsdale, Ariz., fended off a late charge by Julieta Granada of Asunción, Paraguay, Thursday to win by one stroke her third AJGA title in the 2004 season and first AJGA major at the McDonaldâs Betsy Rawls Girls Championship.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the 54-hole stroke-play invitational event was held at the newly renovated White Manor Country Club in Malvern, Pa., home of the LPGAâs McDonaldâs Classic from 1981-1986. The event featured 83 girls from 24 states, Canada and Paraguay who were invited based on past top national junior golf tournament finishes.
The tournament, one of two girls-only AJGA majors, brings 21 Rolex Junior All-Americans to the Philadelphia area, including Amanda Blumenherst of Scottsdale, Ariz., Julieta Granada of Asunción, Paraguay, Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla., and Sukjin-Lee Wuesthoff of Toms River, N.J.
Following frustrating first and second rounds, Blumenherst (73-71-70â214), was happy with the way she played during the final round. She had back-to-back birdies on Nos. 5 and 6 and then another birdie on No. 9 where she sunk an eight-foot putt.
âI hit the ball very well today,â said the 17-year-old. âI was anxious to get out and play because Iâve never won a Major championship.â
The first-team Rolex Junior All-American had already captured a pair of titles in the 2004 season, including a 10-stroke victory at the AJGA Southwestern Junior and another win at the PING Indianapolis Junior.
Runner-up Granada (71-73-71â215) birdied No. 15 after struggling with two bogeys during her round. The Rolex Junior All-American came on strong with another birdie on No. 17 to put herself only one stroke behind Blumenherst.
âI wanted to put pressure on Blumenherst,â said Granada. âBut she made a great par putt on No. 18 to take the title."
The 17-year-old Granada won the AJGAâs only other all-girls event, shooting a 15-under-par 201 at the Rolex Girls Junior Championship.
In third, at 4-over-par 217 was Megan Grehan of Mamaroneck, N.Y., who was tied for third going into the final round.
Tied for fourth was Nannette Hill of Pelham Manor, N.Y. (75-71-73â219), and Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla. (74-72-73â219).
Other top finishers included Tiffany Joh of San Diego (76-72-73â221), and Tiffany Chudy of Miramar, Fla. (75-69-77â221), who tied for sixth. Angela Park of Torrance, Calif. (76-72-74â222) and Esther Choe of La Quinta, Calif. (75-71-77â222) tied for eighth.
Rounding out the top-10 finishers was Sukjin-Lee Wuesthoff of Toms River, N.J. (77-74-72â223).
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.

The microbrew industry has found a comfortable niche in a tourist region that prides itself on outdoor activities, Appalachian culture, arts and Southern hospitality. In fact, the tourist traffic passing through the mountains could be the key to the expansion of local breweries hoping to broaden their market beyond their loyal hometown fans.
ŌĆ£This area is a vacation destination for the state, and all of these tourists are interacting with our companies while theyŌĆÖre here, and now, they want our products where they live,ŌĆØ said Kevin Sandefur, owner of BearWater Brewing. ŌĆ£If weŌĆÖre making that kind of lasting impression, itŌĆÖs great, and it says a lot of the breweries here and what weŌĆÖve all accomplished in such a short time.ŌĆØ
SEE ALSO: Waynesville taps into craft beer festival
With BearWaters, Frog Level and Tipping Point in Waynesville, Heinzelmannchen in Sylva and Nantahala in Bryson City, all five establishments started out on the ground floor of a dream molded into a reality. Each has had numerous obstacles to overcome, whether it be simply the long slog of entrepreneurship or trade-specific hurdles like getting your product noticed in a sea of other flavors and brands.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs all about consistency. If youŌĆÖre not making good beer, you wonŌĆÖt be in business long,ŌĆØ said Clark Williams, owner/brewmaster at Frog Level. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about increasing production while maintaining consistency. ItŌĆÖs challenging, but itŌĆÖs something we can do, will do and have done.ŌĆØ
Through their own blood, sweat and tears, with uncertainty and risk at every corner, all five breweries have persevered, each with a loyal clientele and firm footing in an industry still evolving.
ŌĆ£The beer is flowing; the people are drinking it; the people are liking it,ŌĆØ said co-owner/brewmaster Scott Peterson of Tipping Point.
But, the journey has only begun. The first phase is now complete ŌĆö the local breweries have a firm toehold and established local customer base. That leaves the future wide open for exploration and innovation.
ŌĆ£Overall, thereŌĆÖs still lots of room for growth in this business, and itŌĆÖll be interesting to see what happens,ŌĆØ said Joe Rowland, co-owner of Nantahala. ŌĆ£For now, weŌĆÖre all making what we make well, but soon weŌĆÖll be making things outside of our comfort zone, focusing on making better quality, more unique products.ŌĆØ
And within all of these delicious brews is the secret ingredient, the flavor that sets the tone for everything ŌĆö the customer. A brewery is nothing without those who saddle up and lick their lips when a fresh, cold one is placed in front of them. The interaction is a two-way street, where the community supports the establishments and the breweries support those in their own backyard.
ŌĆ£It has to do with the support of local agencies, people in the community and, of course, the customers,ŌĆØ said Dieter Kuhn, co-owner/brewmaster of Heinzelmannchen. ŌĆ£Everyone has been supportive of us. Yes, weŌĆÖve worked hard. WeŌĆÖre still here, but we couldnŌĆÖt have done it all without the support.ŌĆØ

Price at the pump in Vermont falls
The price to fill up at the pump in Vermont fell an average of 3.9 cents a gallon in the past week, averaging $3.76 a gallon, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 626 gas outlets in Vermont.
The price compares with the national average that fell 1.9 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.65 a gallon.
Gas prices in Vermont during the past week were 6.1 cents a gallon lower than a year ago and 7 cents a gallon lower than a month ago.
The national average decreased 4.1 cents a gallon during the last month and is 15 cents a gallon lower than a year ago.
"The national average has seemingly found some relative stability in the last week," said GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan. "And while the national average hasn't seen much movement, some areas of the country have seen volatility continue, mainly in the Great Lakes states where prices may again be poised to rise in the next couple of days as wholesale prices reverberate as refineries continue their maintenance schedules and the progressive switch over to summer gasoline continues.

Audie Award Winner, Non-fiction, 2008
It begins with a birth in an African village in 1750, and ends two centuries later at a funeral in Arkansas. And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.
When Alex was a boy growing up in Tennessee, his grandmother used to tell him stories about their family, stories that went way back to a man she called the African who was taken aboard a slave ship bound for Colonial America.
As an adult, Alex spent 12 years searching for documentation that might authenticate what his grandmother had told him. In an astonishing feat of genealogical detective work, he discovered the name of the "African" - Kunta Kinte - as well as the exact location of the village in West Africa from where he was abducted in 1767.
Roots is based on the facts of his ancestry, and the six generations of people - slaves and freedmen, farmers and lawyers, an architect, teacher, and one acclaimed author - descended from Kunta Kinte.
©1974 Alex Haley. Renewed 2004 by Myran Haley, Cynthia Haley, Lydia Haley, and William Haley; (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks America
"Being the consummate actor, [narrator Avery] Brooks has immersed himself into the role of narrator. In fact, it is difficult to describe what Avery Brooks does in this audiobook. He neither narrates nor performs, rather, he conjures. He brings the plethora of characters to life as memory, as history, as the pawns of diaspora. His narration begins in reverential tones as an homage to a literary masterwork, yet he ends it as a roar against racism." (AudioFile)
"Impressive! DO NOT WIKI THIS BOOK!"
Please DO NOT look up this book on Wikipedia before reading it! It will dilute the impact of the story. Trust me! I haven't read such a lengthy novel since World Without End and this is comparable. The time frame spans around 200 years. This story gives the reader a renewed perspective of slavery and racism and heightens our sensitivity to the issue. The narrator did a superb job handling the African accents as they transformed into American southern accents. There were some harsh interjections of historical accounts that felt forced, but added to the situation. I listened comfortably on 1.5X speed. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to use a credit on this one. If any of this review helped, please click YES below. Later.
"A Masterpiece"
Avery Brooks is a master narrator. He takes on dozens of characters each with such distinction and rhythm it's as if, following the heart of the book, this story is being told to you instead of read to you. At times I was convinced Mr. Brooks had memorized this entire book, his reading so smooth and eloquent. He is the perfect choice for such an important work. Roots was Excellent in every way.
Alex Haley's masterpiece comes to life on audio with this narration by the very talented Avery Brooks. Roots is a must read/listen to everyone in my opinion and I gained a new found perspective of African-American culture after revisiting Roots. Emotionally taken over at times, I listened with tears in my eyes.
Of the well over a hundred audio books I've listened to, Avery Brooks is hands down the best narrator I've ever heard. His cadence, accents, and personalities given to the characters is just outstanding.
Longtime Audible enthusiast!
"Wonderful Listen"
I know that since its publication there has been a good deal of controversy surrounding this book. Alex Haley was accused of plagarism regarding a few paragraphs from a book titled THE AFRICAN. He was reported to have paid a settlement as a result. Also, many question the historical veracity of some of the characters and details in the story, of which Haley makes no apology, employing necessary poetic license to bring this story to life. And he succeeded marvelously in his effort.
Roots is a tremendous novel, beautifully written and entirely engaging througout. The reader, Avery Brooks does a masterful job, actually enhancing the listening experience. I was amazed at how he effortlessly switched between the accents of the Africans, slaves and southern whites.
Without hesitation, I recommend this audiobook.
"Outstanding Story, History, and Narration"
I don't typically write reviews, but this book was so powerful that I felt compelled to encourage others to listen to it. I saw the mini-series decades ago, but hearing the full story narrated really captures the imagination and allows you to enter into the world of what it might have been like being a slave. Although slavery is not an enjoyable topic--the lives and integrity of the characters rises above the topic and you find yourself engrossed in the storyline. Give this one a listen!
"Really good listening"
"Roots" is not a perfect book and the controversy about some of those imperfections are well-publicized. Added to those, I was disappointed that Haley did not really give the members of the later generations of Kunta Kinte's descendants as much attention or depth as he did Kinte and his immediate family.
But even given the above, it's a wonderful story and is incredibly enhanced by the performance of Avery Brooks as narrator. Brooks' rich baritone and well-modulated emotion add further dignity to Kinte and his story. I enjoyed this audiobook very much.
"Words can't express..."
How incredible this story is. I wish it could be a mandatory read for older teens...There is so much to learn in it's pages. Avery Brooks is phenomenal..This is a story that will have you crying and laughing and wondering how these things could have happened. I did see the movie many years ago and can safely say the book goes deeper and tells the story in a much larger way... I'm not a writer and I don't have adequate words to express how wonderful this listen was...I can only highly recommend...
Spreadhead and Biblioholic.
"AMAZED By How Much I Dug This Book"
I'm not sure what finally got me to read this. As a white southerner, I went into this with the expectation of being hit in the head again and again with the injustices of my ancestors. In this I was correct. And yet...
The story itself is first-rate. I have never read anything else by Haley (the Playboy interviews were published long before I was interested in any of the written material ), but the plot and the prose were both sufficient to keep me interested and make the endeavor feel more literary than mere popular fiction. The only part I felt dragged on a bit was the initial portion, when Kunta is in Africa and has not been captured yet. The subsequent story moves with relative speed across several hundred years of American history.
The white "masters" are not single dimensional. There are random and touching acts of kindness by them, mixed up with random acts of cruelty and the constant systemic injustice. At no point is the utter wrongness of the peculiar institution downplayed, but there are some touching scenes of basic human compassion breaking through the societal and legal norms. Perhaps most poignant is the scene where the white nabobs of Lauderdale County ask Haley's grandfather to assume ownership of the town lumber mill with their financial backing.
The narration is excellent. Avery Brooks sounds a lot like James Earl Jones and has the perfect voice for this story. I would pay to hear him read the telephone book out loud.
I was a little disappointed to read, after finishing the book, assertions that Haley had fabricated certain key elements of the story which had been presented as true. And yet even if he made the whole thing up, it is still an interesting and compelling read.
"ROOTS of us all are so very important!"
In 1976 I purchased the book ROOTS. Alex Haley put down on paper, in print, what he had discovered about his family tree through a labor of love,with much time, and effort.
My hobby has been genealogy so this particular project interested me. A great aunt of mine had put together a family tree in the mid sixties and I found it fascinating
When Roots was shown on television we watched and thoroughly enjoyed the program for several nights.
When it became available on VHS I again had to have it and appreciated it again. Last year we bought the DVD set and loved it all over again!
This past week I have been reading (listening) to the audible.com offering of Roots.
Today I finished the book. I sat in front of my computer at work and listened on my MP3 player. As I listened I could absolutely SEE Levar Burton (young Kunta Kinte, John Amos (older Kunta Kinte), Ben Vereen (Chicken George), Leslie Uggams (Kizzie), Louis Gossett, Jr, and many other extremely talented actors who performed those roles in the made for TV movie back in the seventies, I found myself in tears during the last two hours of the book.
Alex Haley said he cried when he heard confirmation of what he had been told over and over as he grew up.
He gave us all so much to be grateful for. His laborious work, while disputed with plagiarism charges, is an invaluable lesson to all.
Avery Brooks (narrator) brings it all to life in a fabulous way!
I highly recommend this audible book to all!
"Why did I wait?"
Why did I wait so long to read Roots? I don't remember the mini-series, but this book was terrific. Not only is the story powerful, but I found it very interesting when the characters lives are placed in an historical perspective -- for example, when the characters discuss Washington's presidency or Lincoln's addresses. The narration is excellent. Could have gone another 30 hours without issue!

from Karisa Schlehr Nov 11, 2010 Category: Ligonier ResourcesPost Tenebras Lux — "after darkness, light" — this Latin phrase found on the Reformation Wall in Geneva, Switzerland, encompasses the purpose of both the original 1560 Geneva Bible and the new Reformation Study Bible: to bring the light of Scripture to a darkened world. Today there is a constant assault on the integrity of Scripture, which has served to undermine people's confidence in the trustworthiness of the Bible. The Reformation Study Bible is a valuable tool in the defense of sound doctrine and clear understanding of the truth. Keep Reading

The Deity of Christ
from John Gerstner Nov 10, 2010 Category: ArticlesDuring his long, fruitful ministry, Dr. John Gerstner, mentor to R.C. Sproul, wrote a series of primers on various points of theology which were later printed in Primitive Theology. Over the next couple of weeks we will be sharing his "Primer on the Deity of Christ" as a series of blog posts. Interestingly, the primer is in the form of a dialogue. The dialogue is between ''Inquirer,'' who is an educated, thoughtful person becoming convinced of the truths of the Christian religion (though not yet converted to them), and "Christian,'' an experienced evangelical minister.

Hi all and thanks for all the help I've gotten just reading the forums.... I need some more help though.... I really do want to exclusively bf, but don't know how to get it in a schedule. I also dont know when I should be pumping, since I'm afraid to pump and the ds will wake up and want to eat and I wont be able to feed him from the breast. I also took some medication that made me have to pump and dump for 36 hours, and now I don't seem to be producing as much, and don't know what to do to increase supply (I did just order Domperidone). I am lucky enough to be able to bring ds to work with me, but I feel I need to have some kind of schedule of when and how long I will be away from my desk considering sometimes he will nurse for 5-10 minutes and fall fast asleep, not waking at all and other times nurse for 1 hour and I have to break the latch. I have been supplementing with 6 oz of formula during the day and roughly that during the night, but I really want to do this completely and don't think I'm doing it right. I did get the number of my LLLC and plan on calling tonight but want to get all this out... Thanks in advance for any advice...
Oh, the info always asked for:
3 weeks old
in NICU for 10 days for wet lung, pumped and formula supplement
6 lbs 6 oz at birth (naked)
8 lbs 2 oz yesterday (clothed)
he hates poopy diapers, so like 5-6 of them a day with another 5 just wet per day

Ex-farmers market official accused of embezzling
MONTPELIER A state administrative law judge has been cited on suspicion of embezzling from the Capital City Farmers Market.
Police say the complaint against Ileen McGurran, 59, was made Jan. 11. Police did not say how much she is accused of taking or for how long the conduct went on. McGurran is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court in Barre on March 20.
The markets board of directors issued a statement late Thursday afternoon.
The CCFM has turned all investigations regarding Ileen Mcguerran (sic) over to the Montpelier Police Department. The CCFM is not interested in making any public statements about Ileen or this incident. We have reappointed the former treasurer to take Ileens place and have moved on to planning another thriving summer market, the statement said.
McGurran renders decisions in unemployment claims at the Vermont Department of Labor. According to Vermont Public Radio, she is accused of embezzling no more than $1,500 from the market. VPR said her farm, McGurran Bee Farm, was also a vendor at the market but is no longer.
VPR cited an email sent to members of the market saying McGurran, who served as treasurer, forged checks. The email said she tried to repay the money but is still in the process.
According to VPR, the state was unaware of the allegations Thursday morning and as of early Thursday afternoon McGurran had not been placed on leave.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

The operator of a home health care agency in northeast Minneapolis is charged with filing bogus Medicaid billings totaling more than $400,000.

Prosecutors allege that from 2008 through mid-2011, Ahmed submitted false claims through Lucky Home Health Care Inc. for services by personal care assistants that were not carried out.
A phone message left for Ahmed's attorney was not immediately returned Thursday.

i've been completely wrong before, many times, unlike some, i can admit it.
it's about you being completely wrong.
I resigned my jobs at Rovers weeks ago, for reasons that are none of your business, and reflect in no way anything negative about Rovers and the people runniing the club, or my feelings for those people. 23 years is quite sufficient. Now where's my telecaster qv.
You seem to have an inflated view of the importance and relevance of this 'forum'.
if you've found it neccessary to resign your post at rovers (for whatever reason) then i'm sorry. even i can seperate the work you do for the club, from your beligerant argumentative persona on here.
as for this forum, i regard it as the digital post office road end, where you can speak to anyone and everyone. about any subject serious or funny, rugby or not. me, i like to have a laugh. i do take my club and my rugby seriously but i.m old enough now not to place much importance or relevance on what's said on here. whether you remain on the forum or not doesn't bother me one iota.

Atmel Is Touching Bottom and Ready to Rebound
Even though Atmel disappointed investors with its downward guidance in the third quarter, it was in line with projections made by the group's high flyers such as Qualcomm (QCOM) and Broadcom (BRCM) . So far, it appears investors are now beginning to make this connection. But is it too late?
Since reaching a 52-week low of $4.37 a month ago, Atmel shares have soared 30%. This leads me to believe the stock has touched bottom. As I've noted previously, upon the release of the company's third-quarter results, there's still plenty of growth opportunities.Again, as evident by the stock's recent movement, the Street agrees. On the other hand, there's a lot that needs to go right for Atmel for that value to be realized. Unfortunately, some of these requirements are outside of the company's control.
For instance, although Atmel's management did what it had to do to get controllers inside both Microsoft's (MSFT) Surface tablet and Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle Fire, it doesn't appear as if these devices are flying off store shelves, according to published estimates.
Likewise, even though the Kindle Fire continues to gain traction in the tablet market, Apple's (AAPL) iPad is still regarded as the standard. Complicating matters further is the strong demand for Apple's new iPad mini. Though it is not yet clear how the lower-end tablet market will be divided when the quarter's results are released, according to current sales data Apple remains the leader in overall sales.
Still, working in Atmel's favor is its technology is far superior to that of its rivals, which is why the company's products tend to cost more. This very fact brings up another concern. Granted, it is a huge benefit to Atmel to have scored wins with Microsoft, Amazon and Samsung but it also presents the risk that at any point these companies might decide to look for cheaper alternatives.
In the meantime, Atmel has the competitive advantage from an up-market standpoint. This is because average selling prices (ASPs) are higher which helps the company's margins. In my opinion, signs of improved profitability are what it's going to take to compel the Street to believe.
In that regard, the company is making some good strides, but it remains a challenge. Though management was able to make the best out of what has been a difficult economic environment, that gross margins shed almost 1% sequentially and 7% year-over year in the third quarter was discouraging.

Celtics winning 63-26!?? we unleashed the beast in them..
Lol Blazers have 17 turnovers in first half- hopefully they play this bad vs us!!
I like the starting lineup tonight, nice to see JR getting in there.
Just a question if anyone knows anything, are the knicks going to try to move a PG or are they complacent with the amount of PGs on the roster?
Lin needs to stop taking these bad shots.. with nobody around to get the rebound i know he made it but come on
TOLD U melo is going off tonite!!!
Smh @ stat with the butterfingers
The Bucks commentator with interesting key to the game. He hopes that the knicks keep feeding the Ball to Melo tonight, because if Melo gets the ball a ton then the Knick will lose.
Lin is playing well now just keep dishing my man..

Okay, so I'm not a huge fan of Susan Boyle. Yes, I saw her amazing performance on YouTube. Simon was wowed and I was too. (We have things in common, such as the fact that we're both smart alecks.)
I ordered her new album, Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage and listened to it while I was sewing the other day. I actually stopped sewing to listen to it. I was amazed again. She is definitely in her element and has much more control of her voice. I am even going to go as far to say that her duets with Donny Osmond were great. I was a huge Donny Osmond fan when I was a child, and she puts him to shame. He was enjoyable, but she outshines him.
Standing Ovation is also available for free at Freegal Music through our library. Have questions or need help downloading? Call us and we can help you out!
Two people have stopped to ask who I am listening to as I sit here writing this. Good job Susan, you are stopping people in their tracks by your tracks. Take a moment and listen.

Hi everyone
I'm trying to do some research for my sister who has recently given birth to a preemie. She desperately wants to breastfeed but her little one is too unwell.
Does anyone have any advice about how long it might be before she can breastfeed and should she be trying to express so the doctors can still feed her baby breast milk?
Any advice would be great, thanks!

GlassFish Server Load Balancing Plugin Installation & Setup
By John Clingan-Oracle on Mar 02, 2011
With the recent launch of Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1, we have made some significant improvements to our clustering implementation such as improved performance and smarter failover.
However, clustering is pretty useless without a means to failover from a failed node to an active node - with the user being oblivious to the failure. The good news is that we have also updated GlassFish Server Control to include the Load Balancer Configurator and load balancing plugin. Check out the compatibility matrix for supported web servers and platforms (.xls).
To help those who want to use the GlassFish Server load balancing plugin, I've recorded a 30 minute tutorial/demo broken into 5 parts. Feel free to view all 5 parts or simply view the ones that cover new territory. Warning, brevity is not my strength since this demo could have been done in a few minutes It is best to watch the content in high definition video, of course.
Individual links here:
- Demo introduction and software download
- GlassFish Server installation and cluster setup
- Oracle iPlanet Web Server installation and setup
- Load Balancer Plugin Installation and setup
- Test Load Balancer & failover
Also, check out the blog post Kshitiz has written on the topic as well as the documentation.
Hope this helps!
