Heh, that reads like some of my college papers. I always tried to be concise, but my professors always wanted more pages than I could produce. Consequently, this extraneous requirement necessitated that I endeavor to expound upon and superfluously extrapolate my treatises to sufficient length as to satisfy the demands of my academician. (Answer: I had to make the papers longer.)
The only one I had issue with was this: "Hemoglobin is more viscous than H2O"
It's kind pedantic, but hemoglobin is only the molecule contained within erythrocytes which actually binds oxygen. Hemoglobin itself does not constitute the entire makeup of blood.
Crap, I've got to stop this.

I haven't had enough of a brevage brewed by roasting the fruit of the Coffea canephora plant, then grinding said roasted fruit, taking the before mention ground roasted fruit and combining it with Dihydrogen Monoxide, which has been heated to 100 degrees Celius for atleast 5 minutes, for this discussion.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
This really makes me glad it's Friday. I'm going downstairs for some coffea canephora stuff now..

Well it's been fun watching 2714 Ontario Road, NW but it looks like we've reached the end. You can see previous states of construction here. Final thoughts?
Well it's been fun watching 2714 Ontario Road, NW but it looks like we've reached the end. You can see previous states of construction here. Final thoughts?
Thumbs up for me
I walk by it daily. It turned out to be a pretty beautiful build-out, but I feel badly for whoever purchases the English basement condo. That alley directly next to it gets constant traffic including trash trucks and random delivery trucks from the Columbia Rd. retail shops.
Wouldn't this be a problem for the entire building, not just whoever inhabits the lower level unit?
As for the pop-up, it's better than the usual standard fare that often shows up in the pop-up threads.
Yeah, I was thinking all the units will have the noise problem to some degree — but I think wmm's point was that it will be ESPECIALLY loud for the English basement occupant.
I think the reason this pop-up seems less egregious than others is because they extended the front of the house. So not only is the pop-up set back from where the front of the house _used_ to be, it's even further back from where the front of the house is now… meaning that even less of it is visible.
Fair point – and I kind of thought that when I first read wmm's comment. Noise does travel, though, upwards and outwards, especially with taller trucks.
I don't think this building wins any beauty contests by any means, and the coloring of the materials seems to be in-keeping with the neighbors' buildings but it's not a laughable eyesore as some of the past ones posted.
love it
Not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't like the dark-tinted windows, but I'm glad they at least painted it a color that goes with the houses nearby.
I still wish they had left the front facade alone, instead of destroying it in order to extend the house in the front as well as the back. But this is less incongruous than I feared/expected.
I like that they put brick facing on at least the part of the house that's right next to the house next door, even if they didn't bother with the bay window portion.
I am also very relieved that they didn't just slap some siding on the front of the house, which is what they did on the side (beyond the original brick) and in the back.
I hate it. 20 years from now, people will look at it and say, "What were they thinking?"
Yeah, but you hate everything, so it makes me wonder if this isn't actually a nice building.
Not everything. Just hideous stuff.
I love row houses, I love nice commercial buildings, I hate junk.
not too bad price-wise for a condo and location and the fact that it's brand new.
Meh. $270K to live in a small 1br in a completely bland basement in a completely mediocre area…. I guess "not too bad" sums it up well considering the crap that sells for more in this town.
Looks pretty good. They did a good job blending in with the neighbors, overall I say 7 out of 10.
Boring which might be better than hideous, but hideous gives people something to talk about.
I guess I don't mind it too much. They could have done a crappy pop up that they didn't bother to match to the old because it was too expensive. Instead they just did a new facade. At least the scale is appropriate. Outside of a misfit mixture of two different parts, the awkward big original part next to smaller addition is what really drive me nuts – most pup-ups end up looking like Alfalfa (from the Little Rascals) hair.
Looks great! These guys really know what they're doing. I've been impressed with their other projects as well. Can't wait to see the inside!

You have the target. You have defined the strategies. And now it's time to put your effort. However in fact not all plans and strategies work well.
Some people frustrated and stopped trying while some people keep trying to move on and put the effort to achieve the target again and again.
The same situation happened to me – well, I believe this kind of situation happens to most people and businesses too. So what should we do?
Let's do some simple math.
Wise plan + Good strategy = Achieve the target
So what?
One thing that I always forgot to notice if my efforts failed are – the obstacles.
Why I don't success in doing this and that? What are the things that cause the failures? Yes – they are what we called obstacles.
(Wise plan + Good strategy) – Obstacles = Failures
First, identify the obstacles. It must be clear and obvious as it is the thing that you need to overcome. Second, know how you can overcome it. Third, time to take action!
(Wise plan + Good Strategy) + Overcome Obstacles = Success
Write down the present and future obstacles together with your plans and strategies. Define clearly how you can eliminate them. Make alternative plans to overcome the obstacles.
Overcome the obstacles. Nothing is impossible!

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Bahrain's special security court has adjourned the trial of 21 opposition leaders and political activists, mostly Shiites, accused of plotting against the state.
The suspects — 14 in custody and the others charged in absentia — are accused of attempting to overthrow the 200-year-old Sunni dynasty and having links to "a terrorist organization abroad."
That's an apparent reference to Bahrain's claims that the protesters had contact with Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Lawyers for those in custody have entered not guilty pleas. The next session was set for Sunday.
The Bahrain News Agency also said on Monday the court has agreed to end solitary confinement for opposition leaders detained following a military crackdown in March.

very good location, perfect actually :)
nice room, nice neighbours.
Maybe one thing minus -> no shower.
Nice apartment in sopot center. Close to the beach. Clean and tidy.
Fin leilighet i sopot sentrum. Nært stranden. Rent og ryddig.
Dear Sirs
The apartment had a great central location, it was everything we needed available, and it was very clean.
However, a major drawback was the garbage disposal, which has picked up on Friday morning at 4:00 clock on Saturday at 6 clock and on Sunday at 6.00 clock in front of our apartment the trash.
Yours sincerely
Barbara Mächtle-Brown
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
Das Apartment hatte eine super günstige Lage, es war alles was wir brauchten vorhanden und es war sehr sauber.
Ein großer Nachteil war jedoch die Müllabfuhr, die am Freitag Morgen um 4.00 Uhr am Samstag um 6 Uhr und am Sonntag um 6.00 Uhr vor unserem Apartment den Müll abgeholt hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Barbara Mächtle-Braun
Our summer looking for the longer, we have chosen the family apartment in Sopot, and were enthusiastic about having Equipment, Service and weather very much! This was a great holiday in Sopot! The sea is 10 minutes walk through the Polnochny Park. All malls close as Bedronka, Lidl.
The apartment features such as IKEA Still.
From negaitve moments: the fridge was completely "frozen", but "it does not hurt." We have it even cleared. Nevertheless, everything was great !!!
Always recommend Wimdu!
Unseren Sommerurlaub nach den längere suchen, haben wir die Familien-Appartement in Sopot gewählt, und waren mit Ausstatung, Service und Wetter sehr begeistern! Das war einen schönen Urlaub in Sopot! Das Meer in 10 Minuten durch den Polnochny Park laufen. Alle Laden in der nahe wie Bedronka, Lidl.
Die Wohnung Ausstattung wie IKEA Still.
Aus negaitve Momente: der Kühlschrank war komplett "eingefroren", aber "es tut nicht weh". Wir haben er selbst geräumt. Trotzdem alles prima!!!
Immer Wimdu empfehlen!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune will not be getting new trophies, only a re-badged version of the existing medals.
The only people who should be frustrated are the ones that got rid of the game already for either cash or a new game. Other than that the game (from what I've read) is amazing and any owner should have fun playing it again. I am glad Sony is not making the trophies retroactive because trophy-$%oring defeats credibility.........Originally Posted by salesman
"Apparently the fact that players cna move saved games around on the PS3 caused worries that people might cheat the trophy system."
Oh like cheating a points system has never been done before in video games and we're going to stop it now what a bunch of bull. There should be no reason not to make them retroactive. I mean come on its a game if someone cheats so what let them they found a way around your system, but i guess it doesn't matter they've already made up their minds see if I care.

Do you think this hurts his chances of reelection at all?
I don't think one specific issue is going to do all the damage. This foreign policy ****up, combined with another bad showing at the next debate (i doubt it will be as bad), would totally sink him though.
That being said.....don't believe the "polls", every single goddamn source cites a different poll, and it's such BS. People don't always like to discuss which way they are leaning. (For example, I personally wouldn't answer a poll question, just so a pundit could use me as an example. no thx, im good)
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
you should go there for polls, what they do is take all of them and take an average, you are right, each poll is worded a different way and takes a different cross section of people...but if you combine them all together it gives you a pretty good idea of what the general populace believes.
I'm going to a Primus concert tonight, they are doing this like 3D head trip tour.....I hate 3D, but hopefully it will be cool anyway

An influential Afghan governor, Gul Agha Sherzai, who had signalled his intention to run for president, said yesterday he will not, leaving the incumbent, Hamid Karzai, in an increasingly strong position to win re-election. Sherzai was seen as one of the few possible candidates who could have threatened Karzai in the 20 August election.
Karzai swept to victory in Afghanistan's 2004 election, although an increase in fighting against Taliban insurgents in recent years and a rising civilian death toll have eroded his standing.

Sedan or coupe? Comparing and testing the 2013 BMW F10 M5 and F13 M6 Coupe
The F10 M5 and F13 M6 are very similar cars. They have the exact same transmissions (manual / DCT) and motor (560 horsepower S63TU). Car and Driver compares these two cars in the video below. Some interesting comments from Car and Driver such as calling the M6 a 911 and Nissan GT-R rival which it really isn't. The M6 is much more of a grand touring car than either of those and just because it has a comparable amount of horsepower does not make it a direct rival.
Car and Driver also states the M5 is a hell of a lot cheaper than the M6. Somewhat misleading, these are both $100k+ cars when all is said and done although the M6 base price does start at $106,100 versus $89,900 for the M5. Hell of a lot cheaper? Neither is cheap and the difference becomes negligible with options at this price level. The M5 certainly is no bargain.
These two cars are pretty much the same thing. The M6 has a lower center of gravity and is slightly lighter at 4088 pounds versus 4313 pounds for the F10 M5. That is really what the difference between the two comes down to. Less weight means the M6 edges the M5 in acceleration at 8.5 seconds to 100 mph versus 8.7 for the M5. It also runs through the 1/4 mile at 2 MPH higher at 124 versus 122 for the M5. Keep in mind the cars were not tested on a drag strip so those trap speeds are likely inflated.
The M6 is not surprisingly also better on the track. It hit a higher peak speed and was quicker through every sector. The difference is minor just as in acceleration but the M6 is the better performer of the two. If one wants the absolute best performance, the M6 is the choice. If one wants four doors, the M5 is the choice. They both perform admirably.

Perhaps the most physically gifted receiver prospect in the 2014 senior class, Parker possesses the size, speed, and athletic talent to develop into a No. 1 receiver in the NFL. While former Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater liked to spread the ball around, there was no question who his clear-cut favorite red zone target was. Parker has insane leaping ability and a huge catch radius, making him a cornerback's worst nightmare on fade patterns. His overall game is still very raw. He possesses ample strength and quickness to beat press coverage, but can be sloppy with his release off the line. He lacks polish with his routes and can struggle at times to maintain balance through his cuts. He makes some downright ridiculous catches, but he could be more consistent catching the football as well. Despite his overall lack of polish, Parker's upside in each of these areas is evident when you watch him on tape, and he has been productive (55 catches for 885 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2013) despite showing room for improvement. His size, athleticism, and flashes of brilliance should draw him early consideration in next year's NFL Draft. –Jeremy Hyde, 5/15

HIGH ANTICIPATION FOR NEW PHIL VARONE SWINGERS MOVIE – There was lots of media coverage when Vivid announced the release this week of Phil Varone's latest movie, 100% Real Swingers: Kentucky Old Glory . ShortAndSweetNYC reporter Ralph Greco gave his readers a heads up, writing in his Sex Files column, "Ok, in the 'adult' business it's not exactly a man's world, but here are some things happening from some very happening guys in the business. I thought the news below was worth mentioning, so read on…rock drummer/porn star-director Phil Varone, (who I spoke to for The Sex Files here) is a busy 'swinging' guy. His new movie from Vivid.com 100% Real Swingers: Kentucky Old Glory continues Varone's love of swingers and seeking them out. The movie peaks into the lives of 3 couples, plus one single lady and Varone as they all swing…(It's) also the first time Varone has managed to capture glory hole action in any of his many swinger titles." GuysGabAfterDark.com quotes Phil as saying: "Kentucky Old Glory is the epitome of what being in the swinging lifestyle is about. Great friends, great times and great respect for the lifestyle. We're obviously having such a good time that we know that viewers will too." The launch of the movie was also covered by AVN, Xbiz.com and other sites.
ASHLEY BLUE LOVIN' IT ON VIVID RADIO -- Vivid Radio host Ashley Blue shares candidly about the adult business in a new interview on XCritic.com with Apache Warrior. Says Ashley, "My enthusiasm for the subject of porn movies is genuine and undying, which is why I felt like I was even worthy of having a spot on the Vivid Radio lineup. I collect and find porn (DVDs) to be fascinating, shocking, impressive, hilarious and incredibly interesting. I love being able to share what I see with more people. The performers themselves are a hundred times more intriguing and I'm eager to learn more about them as I get to interview them. Our industry is full of stories that need to be told. My purpose is to tell these stories to our listeners, leading by example, so that everyone listening will feel inspired to share too." She recounts her own history as an adult performer, then gets down to some highly personal subjects: "I cook as a hobby. I draw and paint. I read magazines and books and worship my cat. I go out to concerts and dinners with my husband. I collect porn DVDs and rifle through them like Halloween candy. I love my city, Los Angeles, and frequent art museums and food events here. I rarely go out of the thirty mile zone." She ends the interview by saying, "All I want is for everyone to listen to my show on Vivid Radio Sirius/XM 102. Blue Movies airs live Thursdays, 1pm West/ 4pm East. You can also get it On Demand on Sirius/XM."
VIVIDTV'S TONY COCHI SEES LONGER TV VIEWING TIMES – VividTV Executive Vice President Tony Cochi served on a diverse panel of top programming executives at the On Demand Summit in New York City last month. They discussed the changing landscape of consumer engagement with content. A summary of the panel discussion in MultiChannel News noted that viewers of adult entertainment tend to have longer attention spans than those who watch non-adult programming, Tony was quoted as follows: "When we analyze the results of our movies, we're seeing 30+ minutes viewing on each film. It's an interesting dynamic…The adult marketplace has shifted. Women have embraced adult content. On our vivid.com site, over 30% of our subscribers are women. Couple viewing on VOD will be longer than a single male watching on the Internet."
ENSTARZ SAYS MIMI KICKS NIKKO OUT – Last week Mimi Faust was in the news when she denied that she and Nikko Smith are engaged. The star of the Vivid movie Mimi and Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta was back in the news this week when Enstarz.com reported that she and Nikko have split. Reporter Char Little wrote: "From Mimi Faust and Nikko Smith to Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta couples were on top of the world when the current season kicked off, but a trailer for the new episode set to air Monday June 16 shows all of that will change quickly. Viewers saw Faust get upset at Smith's attitude toward their sex tape and his consistent actions toward capitalizing on it as much as possible. In the upcoming episode she'll ask him what everyone already assumes: whether he is the one who leaked the tape. Whatever the answer, she ended up telling him that they needed some time apart."
STEVEN QUOTED IN STORY ABOUT A POSSIBLE JOSELINE HERNANDEZ SEX TAPE – Vivid has been mentioned in connection with sex tape featuring Joseline Hernandez (Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star) with two other people. According HollywoodLife.com: "While the full video has not yet leaked, MediaTakeOut is reporting that it's even more graphic than Mimi Faust and Nikko Smith's, which earned $400,000 for Vivid Entertainment in pre-orders and is the most pirated sex tape of all time, according to TMZ! MediaTakeOut, the site that posted stills from Mimi's sex tape with Nikko, now has posted graphic stills from a video that features Joseline in some compromising positions with both men and women. According to the gossip site, the video shows a much younger Joseline in her stripper days at a bachelor party of sorts…We wonder if this was 'leaked' intentionally, or if Joseline is at all upset that this has been released! We also wonder if Vivid Entertainment would pick it up as they did with the earlier Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta sex tape! Steven Hirsch, Founder & CEO of Vivid Entertainment released the following statement about Joseline's sex tape: 'We are always looking for great new sex tapes. We would definitely take a look at it, as our first Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta tape exceeded all expectations.'" The story and Steven's quote also appeared in sites as far away as Newspoint.Co.za in Africa.
FARRAH PRAISES ADULT SEX TAPES (AND MAYBE HER OWN) – According to the Huffington Post, Farrah Abraham thinks adult movies are great. The headline on a story this week said: "Farrah Abraham Will Make Your Head Hurt, Especially When She Talks About Her 'Sex Tape'" Farrah tells Huffington Post that her new trilogy of books includes references to sex tapes and says, "Yes, I had a sex tape, the book talks about sex tapes, but Fallon Opal (a character in the book) is way different. The story is way different." The Huffington Post says Opal may be "'way different' than herself because the character doesn't have a child and didn't start out as a reality star.
Except she did: Fallon gets her start on reality television, a fact Abraham has seemingly forgotten about. Discrepancies like that might make it hard for some to believe that Abraham possesses the talent and creativity necessary to even craft a story that wasn't just a page ripped out of her own diary (with some names changed for legal reasons). She says otherwise. She's also of the opinion that the full-length, X-rated movie released by Vivid Entertainment isn't your regular run-of-the-mill porn movie. The crux of the disparity, it seems, is in how she defines a 'celebrity sex tape' and a commercial pornographic video. 'I think people purposely don't know how to separate what a celebrity sex tape is and a regular porn. I mean, I have wonderful friends who are in the adult industry; they make porn for a living. That's what they always do. Like, payment is different. Like, living your life is different.
Taking care of yourself. Everything is different,' she explained. What's more, Abraham said with a traditional porn movie, 'many people won't ever see it, they won't ever know about it. But, for a celebrity sex tape, as we all are aware of, millions of people will watch it and you get way more [backlash]. And you are more known for it. And there is just a more compelling something.' She continued: 'A celebrity sex tape to me, outshines any other porn star, and any other person who makes porn. Lots of my friends make sex tapes. They can't say, 'Oh my God, I made a celebrity sex tape,' and nobody even knows about it. So there's a huge difference. And that's just what society made of it. It's not me, I don't make these definitions, it's just obvious.'" In follow-up coverage a RadarOnline headline made it clear that Farrah Abraham thinks her adult movie for Vivid was great: "My Sex Tape 'Outshines Any Other Porn Star,' XXX-'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham Declares."
The story by Francesca Bacardi went on to say: "With a new book on the market, the former reality star took the time to talk about her new venture as a writer and her career in the adult entertainment industry with The Huffington Post. But according to Abraham, there's a difference between a porn movie and a celebrity sex tape, and she wants you to know the difference…Abraham, 22, filmed Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom with porn star James Deen in 2013, but claims her video falls under the sex tape category even though she worked with a notable porn star. The former Teen Mom also believes that the type of work she participated in is 'better' than that of professionals. 'A celebrity sex tape, to me, outshines any other porn star,' Abraham said."

Terrorism fallout may hurt Bush
Page Tools
Members of the US commission investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks have injected a potentially unsettling element into President George Bush's re-election campaign by deciding not to disband.
Although the bipartisan commission scrupulously avoided apportioning blame to either the Clinton or Bush administrations, the decision ensures that the September 11 attacks and Iraq will remain at the forefront of the election campaign.
That could prove an embarrassment to the Bush Administration, which has responded cautiously to the commission's call for a sweeping overhaul of the intelligence services.
The commission's 10 members said they planned to team up in pairs - one Democrat and one Republican - to campaign throughout the US for the adoption of their 41 recommendations to make the country safer.
Jamie Gorelick, who served in the Clinton administration, said: "Everyone who is running for office can be asked: Do you support these recommendations?"
The strategy would mark the start of a new chapter in the life of a commission that has grown in credibility over the past 20 months. It has also accumulated moral force, thanks in large measure to the support of victims' families. Advocates for the families said they would also press for the adoption of the commission's recommendations.
The Democratic challenger, John Kerry, embraced the recommendations and said he would convene an emergency security summit if elected in November.
The contrast could spell trouble for Mr Bush, who has made his handling of terrorism the centrepiece of his campaign and has insisted that he fully understood the threat.
A Democratic pollster, Peter Hart, said: "This is going to underscore the sense that we really have not been prepared. Everyone on the commission seems to say that we are safer, but not safe."
A poll by Mr Hart and a Republican pollster in The Wall Street Journal on Friday suggested that the Republicans' traditional supremacy on national security had fallen sharply. Only 8 per cent had confidence in the Bush Administration's handling of Iraq, compared with 27 per cent in January.
The Administration's immediate response to the commission's call for sweeping changes to the intelligence agencies was cool. Mr Bush said he wanted to carefully examine the recommendations.
Congress rushed to respond to the findings and announced rare August recess hearings. The commission's chairman, Thomas Kean, warned that security experts expected another al-Qaeda attack, and "time is not on our side".
But the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, cautioned: "People should recognise that we're talking about pretty fundamental changes here. It only makes sense to try and understand the implications of them before you rush headlong one way."
Senator Kerry has already endorsed one of the commission's central suggestions - creating an intelligence tsar - an idea that met little enthusiasm from the White House. However, Senator Kerry's attempts to put himself on the side of the commission were pounced on by the Bush re-election campaign, which accused him of trying to politicise the commission report.

Cinnamon for Your Brain, Blood Sugar, Cholesterol & Kidneys
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Cinnamon research over the past decade has focused on its metabolic benefits, especially for blood sugar and cholesterol metabolism. Recent research confirms early findings and expands on them, indicating significant protection for the kidneys as well as rejuvenation properties for your brain.
The newly published review of all cinnamon human trials involving type 2 diabetic patients concludes that "cinnamon is associated with a statistically significant decrease in levels of fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels, and an increase in HDL-C levels." All of these issues are associated with the metabolic syndrome and increased risk for heart disease, indicating that cinnamon may be able to help guide a person back in the right direction once metabolism has begun to falter.
Other researchers have pointed out that cinnamon is highly protective against kidney damage. This is also an important point for type 2 diabetic patients who are at high risk for sugar-induced kidney injury. Previous human studies have also shown weight loss and lowering of hemoglobin A1C. A study using Cinnulin PF, a special-water soluble supplement of cinnamon developed by the USDA for blood sugar support, found that gene signaling relating to wound healing was activated. Furthermore, the very latest study shows that cinnamon can help prediabetic and type 2 diabetic patients lower their blood pressure.
The latest area of cinnamon research involves brain health. Earlier this year, I reported that cinnamon was able to help prevent the formation of Alzheimer's plaque tangles in the brain. Several new studies shed further light. Cinnamon was found to prevent inflammation in the glial cells of the brain, reducing the core inflammatory gene signal NF-kappaB. In another study, cinnamon was found to boost levels of BDNF, the potent signal for brain rejuvenation.
Collectively these studies show that cinnamon directly helps the core issue of blood sugar metabolism in multiple ways while also assisting many of the other health issues that typically accompany blood sugar problems.

Jeremy Hollinshead handled my case with is ease. His analytical ability and experience made me trust him throughout the entire process. He was thoughtful, thorough, and had a vast amount of knowledge is all legal aspects. I highly recommend him and this firm. Thanks again for resolving this matter.

I have not experienced appearing in court before. Mr. Hollingshead has been extremely patient and thorough while helping me with my traffic offenses. He has worked with me on asking for continuances from the court, communicating with the prosecutor's office and talking me through the court procedures. I would highly recommend him for any traffic citations you may have
Posted by Marc
As a small business owner, I need to make sure I am protected not only in terms of contracts, but tax laws and my own personal legal responsibilities. Jeremy is the only lawyer I would trust to handle ALL my legal needs. I would (AND HAVE) highly recommend Jeremy to anyone who is looking for legal advice but who also wants to have success in their case.
Posted by Carl
To clarify my case, it was an negotiating an employment separation agreement.
Jeremy came highly recommended by an attorney with d different area of expertise. He informed me of my options, any potential challenges or obstacles and made recommendations.
The few times, his voice mail picked up, he called right back or sent a text or email if he was in court.
Jeremy was upfront with the cost and there weren't any surprises. Communication was excellent. Lack of communication is my biggest gripe with other attorneys Ive used. I wont hesitate with contact and recommend him.
Thank You Jeremy!

Noone WANTS to get a lawyer to defend themselves against bogus charges in court, let's be honest, but if you must go to court Jeremy is THE attorney to get! I am a medical professional, and my career hinged on a successful defense of the DWI charge against me. The case was not an easy one to beat, but Mr. Hollingshead was always confident and never suggested simply taking a "deal" and accepting defeat. In the end I walked away with an acquittal on the DWI, and kept my record (and career) intact! There are cheaper attorneys out there if you want to risk your freedom, career, and ability to feed your family over a few hundred dollars; but as for me there will never be another attorney I would trust with my life than Jeremy Hollingshead at Ward, Hollingshead, and Echer.

Jeremy make me feel safe and protected. He saved me a lots of money on traffic violation and help me close on property renewal contract that was expired for a year. Mr. Hollingshead did a great job negotiating my contract, which gave me many more favors compare to previous term. His open and trustworthy personality not only make him number one lawer on my list, but also a good friend of mine.
Posted by Jeff
Mr. Hollingshead and Mr. Ward we exceptional as my legal representation against the DUI charges. I was completely cleared by the State of Missouri Department of Revenue. My only regret is that we didn't go to trial on the criminal charges.
I highly recommend this firm.

Miracle Saffron
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 07, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, January 07, 2014
The product Miracle Saffron is an all-natural supplement for weight-loss. Saffron is a commonly used ingredient for dishes all across the world. It is ingested on a regular basis in certain countries and there are no reported damages as it is a pure and natural product. We have done extensive research regarding the product and its benefits and uses. The product has been in circulation for over a year without any aggressive side effects as proposed by the customer.
We have done some investigation regarding the claim that the ulcer was created by our product within the trial period. Ulcers are usually formed by constant irritation from either an NSAID or Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Such NSAID's as iBuprofen, Aleve, and Aspirin products are intended to be used as anti-inflamatory, fever reducers, or pain relievers. Ulcers are formed from NSAID's based on length of time, dose and frequency, and multiple pills that taken with or without food can rub against the stomach lining and create the sore.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that is found in roughly half the people in the world, and can be symptom-less but can also create the gastric ulcer the customer was referring to. We recommend the consumer contact her physician to determine the results of the ulcer, by tests determined by the physician to confirm the reasoning behind the ulcer. We would also request the information from the physician if they determine the product Miracle Saffron may have had a part. Based on the findings of gastric ulcers and the two main culprits that create them, we have to make the determination that the gastric ulcer was not induced by our product, or created from the ingestion of Miracle Saffron.
As verified by the customer, the charge has been refunded as a courtesy, and her account cancelled from all other billing and shipping. We have done our part as the company to ensure that even if it was not a direct result from our product, that she does not sustain any monetary responsibility for a product she does not want.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Wild abandon in Bandung

The bus journey from Bogor had started off with the usual shenanigans (the usual shenanigans being the bus tout telling us that the bus is leaving in 5 minutes whereas the bus actually spends the next hour or so slowly inching forward in the bus terminal and then reversing because another more important bus wants to leave and generally hanging about because there aren't yet enough passengers to make the 3 hour journey profitable; only a ragbag collection of men selling packets of tissues and a guitarist hoping to collect a few hundred rupiah from the passengers - either of the passengers, that is.) Once we got going things were ok
Naturally when we arrived at the not-quite-in-town bus terminal there was a glut of taxi drivers who were only to willing to take us into town for the right price. Note: the 'right' price is always the wrong price for yours truly. We followed a man who lured us with the magic words "taximeter" - indicating that we'd only pay the metered fare. Once we got to his car he then quoted a high-sounding price; I queried his earlier comment about the meter. He pointed at said meter and said it didn't work. So only a taximeter in the loosest sense, then.
I decided not to reward him for fibbing to us and we walked round the corner to another who proceeded to quote a figure double that of the first chap. We agreed on half that amount (i.e. the figure above) so in the end we still got conned - but at least it was just a good old fashioned case of simple overcharging. So that's alright.
Bandung is a city of about 2 million and it seems there is only one place to be seen - Jl
In the evening we went to a good Japanese restaurant where we shared some very good sushi and then went for a beer in a nearby bar that, while it was not overtly seedy, nevertheless failed to provide sufficient lighting even to enable its patrons to get their drinks to their mouths without spilling it down their fronts. I'm not saying I spilled beer down my front, you understand. (T)

There was a time in Paul Lotman's career when volleyball was just a nice alternative from basketball.
His older brother Mark was a standout basketball player at Los Alamitos High - he's in the Griffins' Hall of Fame - and Paul followed his brother's path to the hoop before deciding playing above a net was more fun than trying to drop a basketball through a net.
"I took up volleyball to get better in basketball," the former Long Beach State star said at the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball training facility in Anaheim this week. "It was a sport that added things to my jumps and agility."
It proved to be his better sport - so much so that he was the national co-player of the year in 2008 while a 49er senior and is hoping to play in the 2012 Olympic Games in London next month.
Lotman has been part of the national team program since 2009 and came into his own as a contender for a tough 12-man roster in 2011 and 2012. He's one of 14 players competing for the U.S. in the World League - the team is in Dallas this weekend for matches against Italy, France and Korea - and one of the 12 roster spots for the London Olympics.
The Olympic Games is the ultimate private club. In the last quadrennial, more than 100 players have played on various U.S. national teams hoping for a shot at making the final 12. At the training center this week, the presumptuous Olympic team was in the training room while two other squads of national team players went through a rigorous practice.
"I didn't know where things were going to take me," Lotman said of his national team and pro career. He played for the U.S. in the World University Games in 2007 while still in college and in 2008 played in the Pan Am Games after the college season plus his brief stint playing pro in Puerto Rico.
"There were some opportunities coming off the 2008 Olympics because a few players were going to take some time off," he said of the '08 gold medal-winning team. "So I had a chance to make some travel teams.
"Since then, it's been a matter of trying to keep making rosters and hope I'd get a chance to break in."
In 2009, he played in the NORCECA regional tournament, in the World League tournament and the World Championships qualifiers. In 2010, he played in the World League and World Championships. Last year, it was the World League and NORCECA again and the World Cup.
He was sixth on the team in scoring in 2011. In 2012, he's been spotted as a reserve outside hitter but has gotten most of his opportunities as a service sub. He's also gained experience the last few years playing in Europe - Greece, France, Italy and earlier in 2012 in Poland, where he helped lead his club team to a championship.
He's trying to earn a spot on the Olympic team, and playing time, at the deepest position (outside hitter) personnel-wise. There's two-time Olympian Reid Priddy and wunderkind Matt Anderson, the reedy 6-foot-10 former Penn State star - he shared the 2008 college player of the year award with Lotman - with a treacherous triple-digit MPH spike. Olympic veteran Sean Rooney and Gabe Gardner are also in the mix.
"Paul's a great player competing against other great players," Alan Knipe, the Olympic coach and Lotman's college coach, said. "It's the deepest position we have.
"He's played really well when we've asked him to despite the limited amount of playing time that's been available."
"I've been working on becoming the best team player I can be," Lotman said. "It is very hard to break into the starting six or seven, especially since we returned a winning team from 2008.
"Alan told me from the beginning what the situation was. We have a lot of talent at the spot, so for me it's been coming in as a service sub or perhaps being the first guy off the bench.
"Obviously, my goal is to break into the starting lineup, but that isn't easy and I'm prepared to come back for the next quad. There are other guys on the team who went through the same process."
His fellow 49er on the current team, David McKienzie, is an example of how difficult the process can be. McKienzie was a starter on the 2007 national team but was left off the 2008 Olympic squad. He returned to the national team last year and now looks like he'll make the '12 team as a reserve opposite hitter.
"The thing with Paul is that he's just becoming the player he'll be," Knipe said.
"The next four-to-five years, he'll become the best volleyball player in his life. He's good enough to make the team this year but he's going to be someone we're talking about in the Olympics for another (decade)."

Great way to spend Christmas and New Year: Volendam Cruise Review by TezzaPel
Overall Member Rating
Great way to spend Christmas and New Year
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Other
The positives: room was a good size, with large bathroom; cabin stewards unobtrusive and efficient; food was excellent (some of the best beef I have eaten); on-board credit was a welcome surprise; the Volendam singers and dancers were excellent; most of the guest entertainers were also excellent; the staff in the main dining room were great (we tried to sit in the same area each night); the gym was excellent with very good staff on hand; the Captain was excellent with his twice-daily briefings (although he seemed shy when we tried to chat with him More informally); my wife loved her almost daily omelette; the cost of wine was quite reasonable (it helped that the Aus dollar was better than parity while we were on the ship); my wife found some moisturised that was about a third of the price she pays at home;
The negatives: smoking areas pervaded the non-smokers (HAL are considering this issue); our friends found the kids were VERY noisy in the pool area; the coffee generally was rubbish; the TV in the room was set up too high; Eugene, the guitarist on the pool deck could not sing and was a tad annoying if you were trying to read a book or just relax (a nice guy though!);
The disappointments: we were unable to get into Milford Sound because of bad weather; we didn't win the bingo; my wife did not get a Royal Flush at the poker!; Christmas dinner was quite disappointing; the weather was not great but we expected that.
Other comments: we did not go on any excursions, but did our own thing, really enjoying Napier. Mt Manganui and the Bay of Islands; there were no problems with us bringing a couple of bottles of wine on to the ship at each port.
I enjoyed this cruise and would like to experience the service on a higher rated HAL ship. Less

Where I stayed
We took a bottle of wine down to the harbour area later in the evening; a nice idea at the time but I think that the mosquitos enjoyed it too
The next day we sorted out our ferry tickets to Buenos Aires as well as booking accommodation for when we arrived. Boring jobs out of the way, we were off to hire a golf buggy! Strangely popular in Colonia, we simply had to show our driving license and the golf buggy was ours for 2 hours! We were then let loose on Colonia's roads! We both had a go at driving and it was such good fun! We visited an old Bullring now in a dilapidated state, a nicer beach further along the coast, and generally just drove around laughing. We even tackled a roundabout at one point!
We followed a similar pattern to the previous day that evening, and took a bottle of wine down to the coast. This time however we made it for one of the best sunsets either of us has ever seen. We went for food afterwards, but even for a Friday night the town was very quiet. Our choice of restaurant was not the best and neither of us really enjoyed our food, but never mind
We spent our final morning in Colonia sunbathing on the solarium on our hostel roof, before going for some lunch. We either had to find somewhere really cheap or else somewhere that would take Visa, as neither of us wished to withdraw more Uruguayan currency when we were travelling to Argentina that evening. We eventually found the latter, a nice place full of locals dining on Saturday lunchtime. Soon after, we made our way to the port and waved goodbye to Uruguay. The 1 hour journey was basically like a coach on water; we couldn't go on deck and the strong winds made for a very rough crossing. Not our most enjoyable journey yet! We did however make it safely across and were finally in the city we had both been looking forward to: BUENOS AIRES!

Ray Sarmiento Surges To ITA Regional Championship
Oct. 24, 2011
MALIBU, CALIF. -- USC's Ray Sarmiento topped off his tear through the ITA Southwest Regional Championships with yet another straight-set victory to claim the singles title for the Trojan sophomore today in Malibu. Up against an upset-minded Francis Alcantara of Fresno State, Sarmiento served up a solid 6-4, 6-3 win to become the first Trojan to win a regional singles title in over a decade.
The No. 2 seed in the tourney, Sarmiento never gave up more than four games in a set to anyone but No. 3 seeded Finn Tearney of host Pepperdine during the semifinals. In today's title match with Alcantara, Sarmiento was similarly dominant as he picked up his sixth consecutive straight-set win of the year to bring a long-awaited regional championship to Troy. No Trojan has won a singles title at the ITA regionals since Andrew Park went back-to-back in the 1999 and 2000 regional tournaments.
