Working on it – LWD
Summary: Set after the movie. Pairings: Derek/Lizzie, Derek/Casey, Lizzie/Edwin, Edwin/OC
Disclaimer: Ummm… I only own the plot bunnies hopping in my head.
Chapter 1
She replayed it again: "I might be able to forgive you for throwing away your future, but if you don't get your ass up here for this… Case, I'll never forgive you."
Harsh much? Casey thought so. But from her step-brother, she wouldn't expect much less. And it was why she was in an airport taxi at midnight on a Friday on the way to the hospital after her performance and a three hour flight from New York to Ontario. She had barely spared the time to go back to her dorm to change into jeans and pack a few things before leaving.
After her post-rehearsal high around four-thirty that afternoon, she had turned her phone back on and had been immediately bombarded with twelve messages from George, Lizzie, and Edwin saying that Nora had gone into labor. Casey called George back and he reassured her that things were going well – albeit slowly, and told her that he would keep her posted before letting her speak briefly to Nora. Her mother insisted that she finish her evening as usual and check back in at the end of the night.
Best brother and sister that they were, Lizzie and Edwin made sure to update her hourly via text message. They weren't giving her the silent treatment. Neither was Marti for that matter – they talked at least twice a week when Casey finished her conversation with Nora. That just left Derek. He had barely spoken her since she had decided to defer college and go to New York with Jesse. And he hadn't contacted her at all since she had left – something she was justly peeved about.
Casey sighed internally as the taxi pulled up to the hospital lobby entrance. She had gotten Derek's message only a few minutes after she had gotten backstage at the end of the performance, and had nearly dropped her phone in shock. Her dorm mate Chloe had given her a strange look, "You okay, girly? You look kind of pale."
"I need to go", Casey said suddenly, not really answering the query. "My mom's in labor – I need to get back to Canada."
"Tonight?" Chloe demanded incredulously. "Are you crazy?"
"So you'll take me to the airport?" Casey asked as she shoved her make-up and jacket into her workout bag. Chloe was one of the few people Casey had met in New York who actually owned a car – she had to keep it in a garage and pay half a million dollars a month for parking, but she had it. It was sad to say that Casey actually missed The Prince.
Chloe pulled her long black hair from the tight bun it had been in for the show. "Of course", she chuckled. "But you have to tell Jesse why you're missing the after party."
"Jesse's met my family, Chloe", Casey said raising an eyebrow, "He knows they're important to me."
Chloe nodded slowly, sort of confused at the defensiveness in her friend's tone. "Just go tell him we're leaving while I get us a cab back to the dorms", she said before heading for her own station to get her cell phone from her bag – and Casey went to find Jesse.
Now Casey was getting out of the cab in front of the hospital, slinging her duffle over her shoulder as she tossed money at the cab driver before heading towards the main lobby. "McDonald-Venturi", she threw at the tired looking receptionist. She didn't bother looking at the woman's nametag.
"Just a moment", the blonde woman said blandly turning to the keyboard. Casey drummed her fingers on the marble irritatedly as she waited for no more than ten seconds, her anxiety and frustration on the forefront. "Room 812", she said after double-checking the screen. "She's still having contractions."
"Oh, thank god", Casey muttered before stalking determinedly towards the elevators. She only waited a moment before one opened and she stepped in and hit the eighth button. The elevator stopped three times and Casey nearly got off in favor of the stairs at floor six.
Casey walked around the reception desk towards the waiting area to see Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti playing Uno… and Derek pacing back and forth in a way Casey could only say was nervousness. Casey thanked the heavens that no one else occupied the waiting room. "Guys", she murmured quietly, stepping forward slowly. Four heads whipped around to look at her in shock.
Lizzie and Edwin stood up as Marti shot at her and attached herself to Casey's side. "Casey! You made it!" Lizzie said grinning as they headed over and they both promptly squished her and Marti in a sandwich hug.
"I can't breathe", Marti mumbled against Casey's stomach. Edwin let go and backed up in amusement. He chanced a look over at his absent brother only to have Derek suddenly pretend he was busy… picking at his nails. What? Edwin turned back around with an amused shake of the head.
"Me either", Casey squeaked finally before Lizzie let go of her death grip her and Marti finally ran back to Derek. Casey looked over her sibling's heads to glance cautiously at Derek. He looked slightly incredulous at the sight of her – but he was definitely frowning. Did he really think she wouldn't have wanted to be here for her own mother? Did he really think she could honestly be that selfish? Casey shook her head ridding unnecessary thoughts and turned back to her siblings. She could deal with Derek later – hopefully much later. "I've really missed you guys", she said finally.
"Nice to see ya, Sis. Are you staying for a few days?" Edwin asked quietly, taking in the bag over her shoulder.
Casey bit her bottom lip, "Is that going to be a problem? I had my show tonight – I can stay for about a week."
"Not unless you mind sharing your room with me", Lizzie shrugged. "Mom said she was going to tell you…"
"Tell me what?" Casey prompted.
"They rearranged the rooms, Case", Edwin stated plainly.
"Oh, right – I forgot", she murmured. "So my room is full of baby stuff?"
Lizzie shook her head, grinning, "No, mine is. I got your room because it's bigger. It's still your mattress though, so we'll have plenty of room. Unless you want to share with Derek", she teased quietly. "He's the only other one with a double bed."
Casey gave her sister a glare, "Not funny. How's the wall sharing going?"
Lizzie shrugged, "No big – Casey, he's been at school for nearly three weeks… And he wasn't really home a lot after you left. And they might be moving his stuff to the basement so they can take his room to be closer to the baby."
Casey looked over at Edwin for an explanation about the first part, but he just shrugged. "How long is he staying?" she asked softly.
"It's Wednesday", Edwin muttered thoughtfully, "Probably until Sunday afternoon. You mind filling us in as to what all the drama was about?" he asked pointedly.
Casey rolled her eyes, but didn't bother to play stupid. "Trust me, if I knew, I wouldn't still be over here hiding", she murmured quietly. That was a partial lie – she did know. It's was why she was hiding.
Edwin snorted, "My sister the chicken, great."
"No time like the present", Lizzie insisted, looping her arm through Casey's.
Casey pulled the three of them to a brief stop to say warningly, "If and when I speak to Derek, it will be privately – and you two had better not be eavesdropping."
"Whatever, Case", Lizzie said lightly. "Do you think the two of you can manage to get through the current situation in tact first?"
"No promises", Casey muttered as they dragged her towards Derek and Marti. Unseen, Edwin pinched her side lightly and she whacked the back of his head in lightning quick retaliation.
"Well, we know who to keep the baby away from", Derek muttered under his breath.
"…if you don't get your ass up here for this… Case, I'll never forgive you."
Casey forced an eye roll as Edwin snickered and moved past her to resume Uno with Marti. Lizzie gave her another side hug and followed. "Nice to see you too, Derek", Casey murmured sarcastically as she flopped into a chair across from near the table their siblings were playing cards at, setting her bag on an empty seat next to her.
She heard Edwin from a few feet away, whispering to Lizzie, "Round one – ding." Casey restrained herself from throwing a torn up magazine at him and took out of her phone to text George that she was here before sending the same to Chloe even though it was after midnight.
Casey didn't look up when Derek took a seat directly across from her. She was well into a Brennifer tabloid magazine when he began staring her down – yeah, it was that old.
"Ooh, the freeze-out", Lizzie sighed quietly. "Casey really sucks at that game."
"Why is Casey mad at Derek?" Marti asked in what she thought was a whisper.
Casey groaned and whirled around, "Marti, I'm not mad at Derek – yet. Lizzie, Edwin, stop being commentators", she snapped.
"Please tell me you have Midol packed in that bag of yours", Edwin grumbled. The nurse walking by laughed.
"Edwin!" Casey exclaimed exasperatedly. "Do yourself a favor and tape your mouth shut."
Edwin gave her a one-fingered salute that got him a glare from Derek – unseen by Casey. And Casey giggled. "Sorry, point taken", she chuckled. "But seriously, can we not go there tonight?"
"Alright", Edwin said exaggeratedly and spreading his arms out, "No one bother Casey – or she'll kill us."
"Edwin, do you know the meaning of 'shut it'?" Lizzie demanded, kicking him under the table.
"I do now", he grumbled, reaching down to rub his shin. Marti giggled and called, "Uno!"
Casey coughed over a laugh and dug in her bag for her iPod. As she straightened to put in her ear buds, she was startled to find Derek occupying the previously empty chair next to her. "God, could you announce yourself?" she complained.
"Nice of you to show up", he said under his breath.
She rolled her eyes, but said nothing, only putting in her ear buds and turning up the volume.
A few seconds later they were pulled out of her ears, and Derek was forcibly turning her towards him, "Hey", he growled, "What? Are you ignoring me now?"
"Oh, please", Casey said sarcastically. "No one could ignore you even if they tried. You, however, are the king of freeze-outs. I hope you're proud of yourself. Congratulations, Derek, you've gotten your point across."
He dropped her arm. "Don't do that, Casey. You just don't know-"
"The problem, D, is that I do know, okay? I'm not that freaking stupid. I'm not doing this with you tonight." Casey stood up and walked toward the table, "I'm going to get a drink – and maybe something pretzel from the vending machine. Anybody want something?"
"Something caffeinated", Edwin nodded.
"M&Ms", Lizzie added.
"Animal crackers and water?" Marti asked.
Casey gave the girl a strange look but nodded, "Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes." Then she headed down the hall, fully aware she was being followed.
Derek waited until they got to the vending machines before he spoke to her again. "Since when do you do that?" he demanded.
She sighed as she fed the machine dollar bills and punched buttons, giving in, "Do what?"
"This, for example", he hissed angrily. "When the hell have you ever avoided confrontation? Never with me, that's for sure."
She faltered momentarily. With me. "Derek, you've been trying to get me to shut up since we were fifteen", she said finally. "Now that I am, you don't get to complain about it."
"Quit avoiding, Casey", he said flatly.
"You haven't spoken to me since I left three months ago – I'm pretty sure the avoidance award goes to you", she returned in a low, even tone.
He groaned. "Casey-"
She held up a hand to shut him up. "Derek, I had to make a decision, okay? I had to do something for me – for once. You have to understand that. Yes, I left. For once in my life I acted on impulse and acted selfishly. But don't you dare accuse me of being irresponsible and throwing my future away. This one time – I acted like you, alright? Please just accept that for tonight."
"Casey, you worked your ass off during high school just to get into a good college. That stupid prancing guy comes along and tells you that you're an amazing dancer – something you should be more than aware of by now – and you go gallivanting off to New York. That just doesn't add up for me", he said shaking his head.
"Derek, every time you say 'gallivanting', it really weirds me out", Casey murmured. "Jesse doesn't prance", she added as an afterthought. "And you can't honestly tell me that if you were recruited by the Maple Leafs at the end of senior year that you wouldn't have jumped on the chance."
Derek studied her momentarily; jaw tight, before finally visibly relaxing. "At least you didn't sleep with him", he said under his breath.
Casey's mouth dropped open involuntarily, "Excuse me?" she hissed. "How would you even- Derek, ewww!"
He chuckled, but it sounded bitter, even to his own ears. "You think that after all these years I can't read you like a book?"
"Well, no, but that's just… it's none of your business", she said finally recovering slightly, "And completely inappropriate right now –or ever." She turned to stalk off with her vending machine goodies and a handful of drinks when he grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop or drop everything.
"Look, I don't want to hear about your sex life…like ever", he grimaced, "But we need to talk, Casey."
She closed her eyes momentarily, "Not now", she said finally. He just nodded and followed her back to the waiting area. When they got there, George was taking a minor break chatting with the kids.
Casey doled out the snacks quickly and went to give him a hug. "How's Mom?"
"She's a trooper", George grinned. "And she wants to see you." He just pointed down the hallway, knowing better than to stand in the way of a McDonald on a mission, and she shot off in the direction of his finger.
She approached the door and went in quickly, "Mom!" she exclaimed in quiet excitement. She had never been away from her mother for more than two weeks at a time, and the past few months would have been more difficult if she hadn't been so busy. She really was incredibly homesick though.
Nora looked up to see her oldest daughter sit on the edge of the bed cautiously and Nora reached up to smooth back her long bangs that Casey hadn't bothered to control before she left New York. "Hey, Miss Case", she murmured softly.
"Are you alright?" Casey asked worriedly leaning in for a hug. "I mean-"
"Yeah, honey, I'm okay", Nora said reassuringly. "I'm glad you made it", she nodded. "Maybe now this little guy will come out", she joked.
"Are they sure it's not a girl?" Casey muttered. "We really don't need the boys getting any more leeway with voting majority", she grumbled.
Nora chuckled, "Sorry to burst your bubble, sweetheart. Derek getting on your nerves?" she asked knowingly.
Casey sighed, "Not exactly… he's just a little ticked off with me right now."
"With you?" Nora raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"It's nothing to worry about", Casey said forcing a shrug. "We'll sort it out."
"Is he being an ass?" Nora asked rolling her eyes.
Case laughed, "Mom", she said incredulously. "I'm telling Derek you said the 'ass' word."
"I'm forty-five and in labor", Nora declared with a raised eyebrow, in typical mom-fashion, "I can say the 'ass' word if I want to."
Casey snickered, "You're such a Venturi. Maybe Marti's been rubbing off on you", she teased.
"I have been partial to purple and sparkles lately", Nora trailed off lightly. "Keep in mind later that this was probably the drugs talking."
"Will do. I hear Liz got my room", Casey said chuckling.
"You mind?" Nora asked quietly. "I forgot to tell you earlier."
Casey shook her head with a smile, "No. I don't mind. It's funny – after all the fighting that got me that room…"
Nora crossed her eyes, "It was not funny", she argued. "What dimension were you on? God, those days – I don't miss all that drama."
Casey shrugged, "At least Ed and Liz get along."
"They were young enough to accept the brother/sister dynamic. It wasn't your fault that you and Derek weren't, not really", Nora said thoughtfully. "I did hope that you two could at least be friends by now, though."
"We're… friendly", Casey said unconvincingly.
"Like a lion and a mouse", Nora laughed.
"Wait, am I the mouse? I don't want to be the mouse", Casey frowned.
"Then don't be the mouse", Nora said, like that would answer all her questions. And incidentally, it did.
George poked his head in then. He had a hand playfully covering his eyes, "Everything okay? Anyone… crying?" he gave a fake shudder.
Casey laughed, "That's Derek's line", she reminded.
"Oh, right", George said coming into the room. "I can handle f-f-f-feelings ."
"Georgie", Nora scolded in amusement.
"Ready to go back to work?" George asked coming to sit in the chair on the other side of the bed.
Nora groaned, "No."
Casey leaned over to kiss her mom on the forehead, "You can do it, Mom. Kick ass", she chuckled. "I love you."
"Love you too, sweetie", Nora said smiling. "See you soon."
"Don't worry, I've got about a week before I need to get back", Casey said standing up. "Keep us posted, George."
"Will do, Case."
She was bombarded again by her siblings when she got back, and the all spoke at once.
"Is she okay?" Lizzie asked.
"Is she having a puppy?" Marti demanded sleepily chewing on a lion's head.
"What's going on?" Edwin asked.
"She's fine", Casey laughed. "Derek, she asked me if you were being an ass", she grinned.
"Nora said the 'ass' word?" he asked incredulously.
"That's what I said!" Casey said with a nod. "She told me she'd be blaming it on the drugs later."
Finally, around three in the morning, Simon arrived. Marti had fallen asleep against Derek's side and she was still half asleep when George came to get them. They followed George, Derek carrying her back to see Nora with the rest of his siblings behind him. They visited for a few minutes, but then George insisted that Derek took everyone else home and that he would stay the night at the hospital with Nora and be home sometime around breakfast in the morning. Lizzie and Casey went upstairs into the room they would now share whenever Casey came for a visit.
"Alright, Liz, dish", Casey commanded as the door closed, a preemptive strike against her own impending interrogation.
"Case, I'm beat, can we just go to bed?" Lizzie grumbled as they changed into pajamas.
"You've got news – spill it", Casey insisted, "Just the cliffs notes for tonight."
"Fine, but no squealing", she huffed sternly. "I've been dating this guy Matt from the soccer team. He's pretty cool."
"And?" Casey pressed, diving onto the bed.
"And, Derek wants to punch him because he saw us making out on the porch the other night when he got home", Lizzie finished exasperatedly.
Casey snorted out a laugh. "Uh-oh", she sang playfully, "Big brother on the loose."
"I'm nearly sixteen, Case, I don't need him dropping by at random to scare off my dates", she complained. "Can't you talk to him – get him to lay off?"
"Lizzie, I have my own beef with Derek right now. If you want to tell him to bugger off, go right ahead – but I won't get involved this time, okay?" Casey sighed. Then she rolled off the bed to her feet and went to wait in line for the bathroom.
"Dumb older sisters go to New York for a few months and then forget they live for fighting with Derek", Lizzie rambled under her breath, "Absolutely crazy."
Derek woke up a little after five-thirty and went downstairs intending to raid the refrigerator. Everything was dark except the light coming from the back porch. He groaned internally, hoping it wasn't Casey. He wasn't thinking clearly enough for that kind of discussion right now. He walked through the utility area and found the door unlocked. He stepped out and looked to his right, around the door towards the creaking swing. Not Casey.
"What're you doin' out here, Liz?" he asked curiously.
"Hey, Derek", she said quietly.
He crossed the porch and took a seat on the opposite end. He eyed the bottle in her hand incredulously. "Is that beer? Nora would murder you."
She smirked slightly. "Shows what you know."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked suspiciously.
"Mom and George decided that Edwin and I could have a drink every now and then, as long as it was at the house and Marti didn't see us", Lizzie said calmly. She leaned away, dodging his hand that stretched out to grab the half-empty bottle. "Go get your own."
He made an annoyed face. "Where the hell was this rule when I was in high school?" he complained.
She snorted incredulously. "Derek, do you remember what you were like in high school?" she laughed. "You would have tried to throw a kegger in our backyard."
His mouth twitched in amusement and he nodded in concession. "Yeah, alright, point taken. It's still weird seeing you drink though."
"We all gotta grow up sometime", she said quietly, staring into the backyard.
"Don't try to grow up too fast", Derek said seriously, his big brother senses kicking in. "Everything alright, Liz?"
She grimaced. "It's been a really long week", she said finally. "And tonight- sorry, never mind. I'm just tired. You don't need to listen to be bitch and moan about all this."
"Liz", he sighed. His second try was successful at taking the bottle from her. "I think you've had enough of this." He downed the rest of it in two swallows, ignoring her mild protest. "Whatever you're trying to drown in booze… it can't be worth it. You McDonald girls-" Derek stood up and started pacing the porch. "I don't understand why you guys don't realize that you can do anything you want! It drives me crazy!"
Lizzie raised her eyebrows. "Uh… Derek? Is everything alright?" she asked cautiously.
"Oh, sure! Everything's perfect! Casey throws her life away because a guy tells her she can dance; you're out here choking down booze like it's going off shelves-"
"Derek!" she protested.
"-for who knows why, and nobody listens to me!"
"Whoa, I think you need to calm down-"
"Don't tell me to calm down- and I just nearly pulled a Casey", he muttered exasperatedly.
Lizzie snorted. Her step-brother was losing it. "D, I think you need to go back to sleep", she suggested.
"Can't sleep", he complained, "Wide freaking awake."
She squeezed his shoulder. "Alright, come on. I'm making coffee."
"You could go back to bed, you know", Derek pointed out.
"After today? Yeah right", she murmured sarcastically, standing up.
"Okay, what's the matter with you?" he sighed exasperatedly.
Lizzie turned on him with a glare. "You are not the only one of us with issues, ya know." Then she looked at the cement. "There's blood now. Ed and I may be best friends, Derek… but we aren't siblings." She headed into the house without another word, only pausing to make sure the door didn't slam.
Derek stared at the door in confusion after her. Seconds later when it dawned on him, he swore under his breath. He stayed outside for a few minutes, listening to the quiet noises from the kitchen, and finally made himself go inside. She was rummaging through the cupboards when he turned from locking the door.
She cut him off immediately. "I hadn't intended to say that to anyone – especially you. I don't need you to say anything, okay? Edwin is with Heather, and I'm with Matt. Just forget I said anything."
"You get that obsessive need for denial from your sister, you know", he pointed out teasingly as he caught the coffee cup she pushed down the island towards him.
"Hey, don't knock the system. And do I really have to remind you about what happened with Sally?" she smirked.
"Okay, truce", he grumbled. "Venturi blackmail isn't nice, Lizzie."
"I learned it from you", she chuckled and grabbed the coffee pot once it was full, hitting the 'off' switch.
"Why didn't I know?" he asked curiously.
"Not your business", she said easily, filling her cup and then handing the pot over. "Besides, you haven't really noticed anything but Casey since we moved in here, not that I was advertising." Her tone was wry amusement, not accusing him of anything.
"Sorry, Liz", he said quietly.
She let out a bark of laughter. "Was that an apology? Where's Edwin's camera when I need it?" He rolled his eyes. The drink of coffee made him grimace. Lizzie grinned. "You forgot sugar."
A/N: Okay! First chapter. I haven't written this fandom for a while, so I'm trying to get back into the groove. A lot going on in this chapter already – those of you who've read my other stories know I can't write short chapters, lol. Review and let me know how it went over. Thank for reading!

We are very happy to serve you! This is a progress report regarding our plans for improving cable service in New Braunfels. Time Warner Cable is in the-process of upgrading the New Braunfels cable system. What will it mean to you? For starters, the new fiber optics will increase viewing options, improve picture quality, and improve overall plant reliability (this translates to fewer cable outages). Customers who subscribe to the Standard level of service will go from 33 channels to 59 channels, including such favorites as SciFi, biome St Garden, Lifetime, and ESPN2 without the need for a converter box or the purchase of a higher priced product package. For those customers wanting even more channel choice, Time Warner Cable's digital cable service offers 19 additional channels plus 40 CD-quality, commercial-free music channels. You will no longer be required to have a phone line for digital service. Adding even more value are the additional premium services. This means when you buy digital HBO, for instance, you get six channels of HBO-twice as many as before. With Showtime you go from two channels on the old system up to seven with Time Warner digital cable. For about $3 more, customers can go from 59 total video and music channels (your old digital tier level) to over 118 (plus 40 pay-per-view channels) with Time Warner's digital Lone Star package. The vast majority of New Braunfels customers are taking the new digital service. Later this year Time Warner Cable will offer Rood Runner, high-speed Internet at up to IOO times faster than dial up! With Road Runner you don't need an additional phone line, so you are always connected or you're "always on." No busy signals, disconnects, or contracts. Beep! Beep! We'll keep you informed as the launch draws near. Overall, this upgrade will bring more channels, more choices, and better value to New Braunfels cable customers. The services offered, as well as the rates, will be the same as in San Antonio, which was recently upgraded and enjoys the new services now. You can check out all the details online at www.twc-sa.com. Please be patient with us, as all cable customers will receive a 30-day notice by mail prior to the changes, which are expected to be completed by the end of summer. Time Warner Cable has technical staff in the area to perform the upgrade plus representatives going door to door to answer questions and adjust service levels. In those instances where we are not able to reach a customer to discuss the changes and their preferences, they will still be upgraded and will receive the level of service that is comparable to what they had. Thank you for choosing Time Warner Cable. We'll be in touch!Welcome to What's Next MHt bt ;

BMW Group is expanding its international production network by adding local production sites for select MINI models, in response to increasing global demand for the brand's premium vehicles. For the first time since the MINI brand was re-launched in 2001, BMW is busy preparing for the local production of selected brand model for several growth markets outside Europe.
As a result, models from MINI will be rolling off assembly line beyond its home market for the first time later this year. Preparations are currently underway for the local production of the MINI Countryman at the BMW plant in Chennai, India, meeting the same stringent quality standards applied to all production of models of BMW Group.
The new assembly plant in Chennai, India, is currently being prepared just a year after BMW started selling MINI in the country. The assembly plant is expected to help meet the steadily increasing demand for MINI models in the Indian market. The Chennai site in India will first build the MINI Cooper D Countryman and the MINI One Countryman.
India has become an increasingly significant market for the BMW Group, which has its own sales arm in the country since 2007. At the start of 2012, MINI opened its first five showrooms in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, making India the 100th market in the British premium brand's global sales network. Between December 2012 and March 2013, MINI has sold 302 cars in India.
"BMW's Chennai production plant was built in March 2007 and has since taken on production of the BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series as well as the BMW X1 and BMW X3 models. The facility, which has a production area covering around 13,000 square metres (approx. 140,000 sq. ft.), is located in the Mahindra World City business zone in the southwest of India, roughly 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Chennai. State-of-the-art machine technology, highly skilled employees and advanced manufacturing processes provide all the necessary ingredients for the production of premium cars to the highest quality standards." said the press release.

Simple Vegan Celery Soup
I opened our fridge last Thursday when we received our weekly delivery from Full Circle and started putting away our order. I opened one of the crisper drawers and found to my surprise, not one or two, or even three, but four semi-eaten bunches of celery!
Let me be honest, celery is only good for two things in my mind – dicing up for mirepoix in creating stock or soups, and slathering with peanut butter for a quick snack. I'll add it to stir fry on occasion or chop it into salads, but otherwise it just has a weird soapy taste I'm not terribly fond of.
My wife likes it a ton, my son isn't too keen and the dog won't touch it – which really is saying something since she generally will eat anything that hits the floor. This soup was a way for me to get through all of this left over celery, which I usually would just bag and throw in the freezer for stock.
It actually is delicious, simple and delicate. A perfect medium for dipping grilled cheese or as a starter to a meal. A few chunks of stale sourdough or rosemary bread give it a creamy, silky texture and just a touch of white pepper creates a mild spice to balance it out.
I probably wouldn't have made this without a surplus of celery, but it's going into the book for staple soups!
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped roughly
- 1 medium carrot, minced
- 1 stalk celery, minced
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- Salt & pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 heads of celery, cleaned & chopped roughly
- 1 cup cauliflower, chopped
- 4 cups of vegetable stock
- Pinch of white pepper
- 1 cup sourdough bread chunks (optional)
- Heat oil in a heavy bottomed Dutch oven until shimmering.
- Add onion, carrot and minced celery stalk and simmer on low until very soft, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add thyme and season with salt and pepper, cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add garlic and stirring cook for another minute until acutely fragrant.
- Add rest of celery, cauliflower and stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmering.
- Cook until very soft, about 10 minutes.
- Season with white pepper.
- Using an immersion blender, or transferring in batches to a blender, puree until smooth, adding bread if using.
- Serve immediately.

What a beautiful soup! White pepper goes so well with cauliflower and celery. Will definitely make this.
I made it today and it is so creamy and delicious. First time that I try thyme and it gives the soup so much more depth of flavor. Thank you for this warm and hearty veggie soup recipe!
I made this soup for lunch today, and it was delicious! It's a great use for the celery tops that I seem to collect in the refrigerator. I added a bit of cayenne pepper and garnished it with chopped red bell peppers that I had seasoned with a bit of oil and vinegar.

Ian McGeechan praised his pack and half-backs as the architects of Scotland's nerve-jangling Six Nations win over Italy at Murrayfield.
For once, the Scots could rely on their goalkicker as Edinburgh Reivers stand-off Duncan Hodge struck five penalties and a drop-goal.
Man-of-the-match Mauro Bergamasco scored a fine try to help Italy towards a surprise 10-6 half-time lead, but McGeechan insisted: 'Our pack and half-backs did very well in controlling where the game was played - mostly in their half.
'I was delighted with Duncan, I thought he kicked very well. We have got ourselves into trouble in the past because we didn't benefit from our good rugby by missing kicks.'
Winger Kenny Logan's frailties with the boot had cost them victory against Wales.
Prop Tom Smith claimed Scotland's only touchdown yesterday.Reuse content

The Perfect Hope (Thorndike Press Large Print Core Series) (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Nora Roberts
Work details
The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I reviewed this as a whole trilogy:
I loved the family dynamic all three books had. The 3 brothers themselves and the relationship with their mother and the love of their craft and of course the stories with their loves. It has a great small town feel, the Inn and the history behind it were great. I just loved it... all three books. I was hooked by the first chapter in The Next Always. To top it off Inn BoonsBoro, Vesta Pizza, The Taphouse and Turn the Page Bookstore all are real and exist in BoonsBoro, Maryland. I have only been to Maryland once, but if I ever got back I definitely want to stop in Boonsboro.
Same complaint about the graphic sex: the book is a perfect YA book, spoiled by descriptively detailed sex. No, it isn't porn by any means, but it takes it out of the suitability realm for non-sexually active young teens. Yet, the story line is perfect for them!
I found this third book a bit predictable, though I was surprised by a couple of plot twists. No spoiler alerts here! One of my predictions came true, another did not. A couple of unexpected things happened. Enough for an extra half star.
This has been one of my favorite trilogies. I really like the Montgomery brothers and I'm sad to see the trilogy end. Yes, it's a simple love story, not much in the way of twists and turns but sometimes it's nice to read a love story that easily unfolds with no drama, or at least with a little. I liked that the story of Lizzy was wrapped up and I really liked how the story of Billy turned out. I was hooked into this trilogy from the first page of the first book. Thanks Nora for an enjoyable day of reading as I couldn't put this down and read this on a late night and a quiet Saturday.
I loved every book in this series though this book I had the hardest time putting down. I enjoyed seeing a different and somewhat romantic side to Rhyder. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a guy's point of view tossed in. Nora Roberts is an amazing writer and my only complaint is not being able to read more books in this series.
"I love you. And I'm okay with it." – Ryder Montgomery
I tend to always find immediately which male lead will be my TOP in a series - tend to, cause there are times I'm proven wrong. And while I do enjoy most stories, it's different when the characters speak to you in a very relatable and likeable level.
Such was the case not only with Ryder, but Hope as well.
Hope Beaumont was the innkeeper Justine Montgomery had hired for the inn her sons built in the series. She was the female version of Owen, the second son, and someone the eldest, Ryder, supposedly disliked at first glance.
Pffft, yeah, right...
Ryder and Hope were the most fitting couple of the series - not that I didn't expect them to be. Always fighting on small and trivial details, yet, when it came to the important stuff, they surprised even themselves with how well they complimented each other. He was her rock and she was the one refining his details.
As the title suggests, PERFECT.
I really adored the way they kept dancing around each other, and how natural it seemed when they finally got together.
And while Ryder, as a typical male, had trouble understanding where to put his foot down and where to compromise, Hope was laid-back and methodical enough to gently coax him to the right direction - or be a little firmer when she needed to be. She was like his mother in a more OCD-kind-of-way, which was fine, because a man like Ryder would sure as hell be attracted to her type. (first-born sons usually do, it's the Oedipus Complex and all that...)
And while, on one hand, we have Ryder and all his gruff manliness and sweet, out-of-the-blue moments, we have Hope on the other. A woman with a capital W. Hope wasn't girly. She was a grown-up female, who knew what she wanted in her life, knew her self-worth, and wasn't leading the guy on. She wasn't whiny. She wasn't bitchy. She was a dignified, proud, and self-assured woman, who didn't need constant compliments, didn't throw jealous fits, and didn't pressure the man into anything he didn't want.
So, even though I swooned for Ryder - because that was totally expected, anyway - I think what made this book even better was Hope. Hands down one of the best female leads in contemporary romance, and seriously needed after certain failures of heroines from previous reading attempts.
Now that I'm done with this series, I'm taking a small break from my beloved NR, though we all know I never stay away for too long...
"I love you. And I'm okay with it, too." – Hope Beaumont

"Just wanted to send you guys a note letting you know I received my order. I went to the strip club the next night which was a Friday. Found a cute little brunette and took her in the back. She had a great rack, and most of her dancing was her just rubbing her tits on my lap. I wasn't sure how Liquid Lapdance would perform, but Liquid Lapdance is AMAZING for titty fucking. You guys rock. Thanks so much for making this product."

A new Windows Developer Program for IoT rolled out today, following up on the commitments Microsoft made during the recent O'Reilly Solid and Microsoft Build events to ship developer kits that allow people to run a version of Windows on the Intel Galileo board. MS Open Tech is glad to be part of the program, and will soon be open sourcing much of the toolkit on GitHub to allow developers to take advantage of the existing Arduino hardware and shields with the developer kit running Windows.
The program will be rolled out gradually to make sure everything works well, starting with a new Windows for IoT Developer Portal, a developer kit, and open source code. The developer kits that will first ship in small batches include a Galileo board and a preview Windows image that supports the standard Arduino Wiring API set and a subset of Win32 API.
The Arduino extension boards (called shields) are programmed using the open source Wiring programming framework for microcontrollers. To ensure developers can easily add off-the-shelf Arduino shields on top of their Intel Galileo board running the preview Windows image from the devkit, MS Open Tech is open sourcing the Windows implementation of the Wiring API set that ships with the preview image. This implementation makes it very simple for developers to add functionality to their project as the exact same code that comes with the shields for Arduino and usually developed by the community can be added as is into their Windows project.
As the first kits will ship by a couple hundred a week during the summer, we look forward to start hacking out with the Maker community. Let's meet on the Windows for IoT Developer Portal and on GitHub where you will find all the docs today and the source code real soon. ALso, you can learn more on the program reading Steve Teixeira's blog.

As MTV gears up to launch in New Zealand on August 18, we talk to hosts Amber Peebles and Phil Bostwick about their show, Full Tank, and why we should tune in
So, how did this morning go?
Phil: It was very exciting. We got to blow up an old Lancer in a quarry and run away from it. We were told to run on "three". We heard "three" but on "two" it exploded. So I've singed my leg hairs.
Amber: Yeah, this morning went so well. There was a huge explosion and flames and smoke, the whole nine yards. It was rad.
Was this the first of several crazy stunts or have you just blown the budget for the rest of the year?
Amber: Yeah, no more crazy stuff, that was it. No, just kidding. That was just setting the scene, letting you know what to expect. We're jumping out of helicopters with the Air Force ... we've got lots of crazy stuff lined up, which is all very exciting.
So, you're going to be New Zealand's answer to Jackass?
Amber: Well I don't know that we would compare, but we're going to be out and about doing crazy stuff. We're including the public with it, so it's not just "watch us be crazy".
What can people expect from Full Tank?
Amber: Basically, it's a really full-on travel show. We're taking musicians and taking them out of their comfort zone so you can get to know their personalities and not just what inspired them to write their latest hit.
Phil: The whole travel, culture, music show combined into one, with music videos. It's a show that stands on its own, without the music aspect, but we also have a big music side to it. On top of that it's going to be meeting people around the country and leaving our mark.
Amber, you're a bit of a Jill-of-all-trades and you've done makeup artistry, fashion design, beauty pageants. But what do you know about music?
Well, I worked with the Edge radio station for a couple of years so I learned a lot when I was with them. Between me and my partner we're pretty good friends with a fair amount of New Zealand artists. So I've got my street cred down.
Phil, this is your third sojourn into music television. Are you pretty cool, calm and collected about the whole thing?
I think I am. I just got back into the country and it's all very full on. It's going to be a big experience and MTV is really going to make its mark, I feel.
You've experienced first hand how tempestuous the world of music television can be. C4's just done a major cull of their presenters. Are you worried about the lifespan of this show and your role?
Not at all. It came a little bit out of the blue for me so I'm just excited to be doing it. At this stage we're going to take it up till Christmas and then get straight back into it afterwards. Because it's on Sky Digital means we're going to have that platform to give it as much airing as possible.
There's been some discussion that New Zealand doesn't need another music channel. What are you guys going to offer that's different?
Phil: MTV is going to be all your favourite MTV shows 24 hours a day. I guess Amber and I are going to bring a relaxed, real and genuine approach to it. We have a pretty good idea of New Zealand music. That's going to be a big angle for MTV New Zealand, pushing the local content as much as possible.
Amber: I think the circumstances we'll be in will bring out the real side of us, getting down and dirty.

As the fantasy football season draws to a close and those of you still paying attention brace for your championship match this week, I wanted to quickly recognize just how studly Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson has become in just his second NFL season.
There hasn't been much to smile about for the Lions or its fans this year; indeed, their game against the Saints on Sunday is probably their last chance to avoid 0-16 because they ain't winning at Green Bay. Despite all the distractions and losing and double coverages he's had to deal with, however, Megatron Johnson has established himself as one of the NFL's very best at his position.. if not the best.
Think about it: Johnson has had to adjust to no less than five (mediocre) quarterbacks throwing him the ball this season. After Roy Williams was traded to Dallas, the Lions have trotted out an underwhelming supporting cast at receiver that has hardly helped take attention away from him. He's battled a few minor injuries. Through it all, Johnson has still caught 65 balls for 1,165 yards and 10 TDs. Just imagine what this guy will do if/when the Lions ever surround him with a few more weapons, field a somewhat respectable offensive line, and get him a highly talented quarterback.
So here's to you, Calvin, for continuing to dominate the competition despite playing for one of the worst teams in NFL history. And here's to you too, loyal ETB reader, for sticking with us throughout the fantasy season and checking out the ranks. We'll do it all again next season–until then, enjoy our award-winning* NBA coverage.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 23, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Da I ] 3 s , Tex a a ft 75 ?.. Five local students named Merit semifinalists Two Canyon High School students and three from New Braunfels High School have been selected as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists. Carolyn Hanson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Hanson, and Nick Parma, son of Dennis Parma, were the honorees from CHS. Those honored at NBHS were James deLemos, son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert deLemos; Leslie Hemstreet, daughter of Mrs. Gail Profant; and Patricia Schwarz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Schwarz. These students, designated as semi-finalists, have been recognized as the highest scorers in Texas on the PSAT-NMSQT test in 1981, taken when they were juniors. They represent the top half of one percent of each state's high school senior class. There are about 15,000 semifinalists competing for some 5,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded next spring. Semi-finalists have completed the first step in the competition, but to be considered further, they must meet additional requirements and advance to Finalist standing. About 90 percent of the semi-finalists are expected to qualify as finalists, and all Merit Scholars will be chosen from among this group of about 13,500. At least 1,500 of the 5,000 Merit Scholarships to be offered in 1983 will be one-time National Merit $1,000 Scholarships.1*1 ic rep lex , lac. -ct . hitch bomble 1.0. DOX ^5^36 Comp.

In the past few decades, they've learned to their surprise that we also have rivers, man-made lakes, natural springs, a couple of swamps and our own little piece of the Gulf of Mexico. And they're migrating here in droves — perhaps, by their very numbers, to turn Texas into that cactus flat they used to tell stories about. "Texans are famous for their braggadocio,'' said Bobby Whitefield, Texas Department of Water Resources, at Smithson Valley High School Tuesday night. "But the magnitude of our water problems is so great that even Texans don't have to lie about it." Whitefield was special guest at a town meeting sponsored by the Bulverde-based Citizens Task Force on Water. Bulverde, located on the upper reaches of the limited Trinity Aquifer, is one Texas community that sees trouble ahead in the immediate future. "Your average per capita use in this area is 94 gallons per day," Whitefield told the assembled citizens. That's conservative. Wastewater treatment facilities are usually designed to handle 180 gallons per capita per day, and the overall average for Comal County is 168 gallons. Even so, with an estimated population of 500, the community is pulling 50,000 gallons per day out of the Trinity (which also serves a number of other communities). Growth is inevitable, and new residents, even at the same conservative rate, will use more water. "In my opinion, you haven't got it," said Whitefield. The citizens' task force is quite aware of that. Formed three years ago, it has sponsored five town meetings and done extensive research on Trinity water problems and what's to be done about them. "We're trying to educate our public," said program coordinator Nellie Cowan. An Underground Water Conservation District was one of the possibilities discussed. "We do not propose that such a district is the answer, or even an answer for tins area," said task force chairman Betty Baker. "We do think it's something that should bt' looked into." Attorney Beth Sherfy, secretary for the task force, gave the audience a rundown on the ins and outs of UWCDs.

About two hours before Gemayel was sworn in to the post that was to have been filled bv his slain brother, Bashir Gemayel, a blast gutted a huge dump w here the Lebanese army had stored rockets confiscated from PLO strongholds in west Beirut, Prosecutor-General Assaad Germanos announced. The Defense Ministry said a shell went off w hile being unloaded from an army truck, and this caused Katyusha rockets and other ammunition in the dump to explode. Twenty-eight passersby were injured in the explosion near the Sin el-Fil residential neighborhood of Christian-dominated east Beirut, Germanos told reporters. Christian radio stations listed the names of 38 people they said were wounded. The blast touched off a rapid succession of smaller explosions that last about an hour and the state radio said 800 tons of ammunition erupted. The explosions shrouded the area in thick black smoko and set fires in several buildings. Three-hundred French paratroopers were expected to arrive by sea in Beirut later today as the advance unit of a 3,000-man force reassigned to Beirut to protect its civilian population in the aftermath of the massacre last week.

Well, at least some of them did. Not much was accomplished, because only IO of the possible 30 members came to the meeting. The magic number 14 was needed for a quorum, and without that, no action could legally be taken. There was a lot of constructive discussion, though, on how to determine why so few board members attended the meeting. Those persons on the Executive Committee listened, and decided to compose a survey form to be sent to board members, asking if the meeting dates (tile fourth Wednesday of every month) and tile meeting time 1 usually 7 p.m.) are convenient, and if not, what would be a better schedule to follow. CCSC!' Executive Director Michele Koweroft said Thursday that she will be in charge of working up the survey form, and will get to work on it soon. It was announced at Wednesday night's meeting that Comal County representative on the CCSCT Central Board, Ed Shackelford, had resigned, effective Oct. I. But before he will be replaced, a federal decision whether CCSCT will serve ll counties in 1983 must be announced. Presently, CCSCT serves six counties Atacosa, Wilson, Karnes, Frio, Guadalupe and Comal. A Texas Department of Community Affairs request for 1983 Community Services Block Grants for CCSCT, which is still up for consideration, would expand CCSCT's service area to Medina, Kendall, Kerr, Gillespie and Bandera counties. Until that decision is finalized, any future CCSCT Central Board reorganization and restructuring has been put on hold — including naming a replacement for Shackelford.

SESSION TITLE: Critical Care Global Case Reports
SESSION TYPE: Global Case Report
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Massive Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) is associated with high risk of mortality. There is very little time to resuscitate the patient for surgical embolectomy as the patient is usually in acute cor pulmonale with severe intractable hypotension. Many times the use of streptokinase or tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) at this stage leads to disseminated haemorrhage. In some cases anticoagulation may be contraindicated due to co-morbidities . In this life threatening situation we have found catheter directed embolectomy (CDE) followed by local infusion of TPA in pulmonary artery to be life saving .
CASE PRESENTATION: A 52yr old male was referred for sudden onset hypotension, severe breathlessness, hypoxia, and alteration of sensorium. Five days previously he had been operated and a total knee replacement had been performed. Twelve hours earlier he had complained of breathlessness and a CT Pulmonary angiogram had shown massive PTE for which heparin infusion had been started. He was intubated and wheeled into the cath lab where CDE was performed. After the aspiration of large clots from the pulmonary artery his condition improved rapidly. Through the catheter left in-situ, TPA was perfused for 48hours.He was discharged in stable condition one week later.
DISCUSSION: In the last two years 26 patients have been treated with CDE in our institution. We have noted a 100 % success rate. Only one patient expired secondary to cerebral hemorrhage. The mean procedure time was 26 minutes. There was more than 50 % drop in clot burden (25/26).The pulmonary artery pressure dropped more than 50% in 96% (25/26). In 92.3% (24/26) of patients post procedure SPO2 rose to more than 95 % whereas the mean SPO2 pre procedure was 59%. The average systemic MAP pre- procedure was 40 mm of Hg while post procedure it was more than 65 mm of Hg in all cases. The mean fall in hemoglobin was found to be 2.2gm%.No major post procedure complications were seen.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with massive PTE who are in severe shock, CDE has proven to be a life-saving procedure.

Tummy tuck pain level?
Doctor Answers 7
Pain with abdominoplasty
Strategically placed pain catheters and a pain pump can greatly reduce pain from this surgery. Exparel, an injectable drug for long term pain relief is used by some surgeons,but in my experience the pain pump is definitely the way to go. We generally place the catheters in what is referred to as a TAP plane not just placed under the skin. Regional anesthesia (epidural) in lieu of general anesthesia blocks the pain fibers during the surgery which is also beneficial. Additionally, we have found a pre-operative bowel prep, while not fun, reduces post-operative bloating and constipation issues. Early walking and moving is also critical for a faster and safer outcome.
Tummy tuck & Pain
Most patients who have had a C-section and a tummy tuck say that the pain level is about equal. The few days are tough, but by 6 weeks post op, you should be out of pain. However, you may still be swollen so don't expect to have your final results by then. Drains are a necessary part of the procedure but aren't to be feared. They help, not hurt.

Tummy tuck pain level?
Yes, patients with a history of a C-Section often equate their TT recovery to that. The first 3-4 days are tough and it gets rapidly better after that. By the time of the wedding, 6 weeks later, you will be doing fine. By reducing the risk of seroma, drains are a necessary evil and a big help in speeding healing according to most surgeons.

Thank you for your question.
The recovery after a TT is a process that can last up to 6 months. During the first month post- op inflammation will diminish greatly , but then a residual inflammation that remains will go more slowly disappearing over the following months . On pain , patients manifest the greatest degree of discomfort in the first two weeks . After these weeks, the pain is much less and the patients feel very well, especially because they no longer have the suction drainBest of luck
Pain Level and Tummy Tuck
A very important goal with a tummy tuck is to keep the patient as comfortable as possible after surgery. I have found that the Exparel intra-operative injections have been extremely well received by my patients. The injections last for 3 to 4 days and are as effective as a pain pump. The drains remove fluids that accumulate underneath the skin promoting faster healing. The drains are removed in 7 to 10 days. My patients are able to return to formal exercise at 6 weeks, you should be in good shape for the wedding! Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!

Tummy tuck pain level?
I would not let worries about postoperative pain deter you from getting your tummy tuck. The pain can be well managed by your surgeon.

Pain level after a tummy tuck
Most patient who have had a C-section say the pain level is very similar. It important that you follow your surgeons pre and post operative instructions so that you may have the best results possible. Drains are definitely part of the surgery there is no way around it, so plan to have the drains in. *

Open and Airy
To help make the pool lounge of the HGTV Dream Home 2017 feel outdoorsy with the creature comforts of an indoor room, the design team packed it with practical furnishings and open, airy colors.
All About the View
When decorating an indoor-outdoor room, it's smart to start with a focal point, and then pull all of your elements from it accordingly. The first step for this space was to situate all of the furniture around the unobstructed view of the swimming pool.
Low Furniture
You can easily detract from or enhance a room's view based on the shape, size and scale of the furniture placed in it. Instead of flanking the pool lounge with two sofas, a pair of armchairs is used near the windows to keep the vantage points clear and open to the view.
All Access
One seemingly simple consideration that can have huge impact on an indoor-outdoor room is its points of entry. A full wall of stacked-back sliding glass doors opens this room to the outdoors with virtually no transition.
Let It Flow
Traffic flow should always be one of the first elements to consider before furnishing an indoor-outdoor space. Before committing to a space plan, test several different set-ups and move about the space. Sometimes you'll find that your second or third choice ends up making the most sense.
Wining and Dining
Keep your company happy and relaxed by incorporating refrigeration into your indoor-outdoor room. Easy access to a fridge will keep guests from trekking through your house and into the kitchen. For a seamless look, keep mini fridges or wine coolers in mind when designing a wet bar or built-in bookshelf system.
Seamless Color
A great way to bridge the gap between where the outdoor space ends and the interior area begins is to use colors seen in nature for the interior decor. This pool lounge has walls covered in a pool water blue grasscloth to pick up on the languid tones seen just a few feet beyond the sliding glass doors.
Diffusing Light
When adding drapery for privacy, note that all-white fabric with white liner will create a diffused lighting effect that will help keep the room light and bright. This is also a great trick for making sure any interior colors read true to their values.
High-Traffic Fabrics
If your indoor-outdoor room is going to receive a fair share of traffic, it's best to choose low-maintenance upholstery. The armchairs of the pool lounge aren't just comfortable and pleasing to the eye, they're also very practical thanks to vinyl upholstery that looks like aged leather.
No-Fuss Flooring
High-gloss, dark flooring is probably not the best fit for an indoor-outdoor room that opens up to a yard in a house packed with busy feet. Instead, think about adding low-maintenance flooring to hide any dirt tracked in with shoes and boots. Indoor-outdoor area rugs made of polypropylene are so easy to care for that you can actually rinse them off with a garden hose.
Inclement Weather
Outdoor spaces suited for adventures like hiking or enjoying outdoor movies can quickly become off-limits with sudden weather changes. Keep guests prepared for a change of weather with an umbrella stand stocked with enough umbrellas to keep everyone dry until they get back inside.

I've been making alot less money at work lately so i'm about to be late on my payments. I've also been fighting a drug addiction and I think jail time would be a good place to force me to detox. But I don't wanna say that to a judge because I'm only charged with DUI.
First thing: get a handle on your addiction issues yourself by seeking help outside the court and penal system.
You should also contact the revenue services division for your county right away to try to work out a payment arrangement. If you are flat broke, you can sometimes buy more time with the payments, but don't blow them off. Send whatever you can afford.
You CAN serve jail time to pay off the fine; how much exactly depends on the county. You'd probably be looking at a ballpark range of 10-17 days in County jail, but could get released earlier depending on jail conditions. But rather than looking to jail as the solution to your drug addiction, I would recommend you pursue other options: NA, for instance, or treatment at a nonprofit outpatient clinic. Call your local County Alcohol and Drug Department for a list of programs, or research them on the Internet. Getting a handle on your drug addiction will help you to fulfill the terms of your probation and to avoid another DUI in the future.
In the meantime, you can serve jail in lieu of fines, but you will need to get an attorney (or add yourself to the court calendar although that has risks given your drug use) to seek a modification of your probation.
Some judges will grant a stay on fines for a reasonable period if there is good cause (unemployment, illness, etc.). You can also respectfully request that the court allow you to perform community service in lieu of fines, which could easily be 130+ hours. I wish you luck.Ask a similar question
I agree with what my colleague said in a general sense, however it is difficult to give detailed information without knowing what the underlying offense is. If you decide to go to an inpatient treatment program, talk to a lawyer about asking for custody credit (jail time credit) for inpatient drug treatment. It all depends on the underlying offense, your criminal record, and of course -- the judge.Ask a similar question
