Paul Melotik is a long-time Milwaukee bar operator, and a Wisconsin native, so he'll be cheering for the Badgers in Friday's NCAA men's basketball tournament.
But forgive Melotik for adding Xavier University's Musketeers to his list of favorite teams. Up to 300 Xavier fans are converging this morning on his Water St. tavern and restaurant, McGillycuddy's, for a breakfast and pep rally prior to their team's tournament game vs. University of Minnesota, at the Bradley Center.
"We're gonna let 'em take over the place," said Melotik, who figures the party will generate around $4,000 to $5,000 for his business.
McGillycuddy's is just one of dozens of downtown restaurants, bars and hotels that will benefit from the fans coming to Milwaukee for the tournament's opening round at the Bradley Center, which runs through Sunday. There will be four games played on Friday, with the winners meeting in two games on Sunday.
The local economic impact from tournament visitors is estimated at $2.2 million by Visit Milwaukee, the agency that markets the city to convention and meeting planenrs..
That figure is calculated by taking the 3,500 hotel room nights that have been booked for fans and others drawn by the tournament, and multiplying it by an average of 1.5 persons for each room. That figure is then multiplied by $250, which is the amount of average spending expected from fans.
That comes to over $1.3 million in direct spending.
That direct spending figure is then multiplied by 1.67 to measure the "ripple effect," such as hotel workers buying items with their increased pay. Using that multiplier, the total economic impact comes to around $2.2 million, according to the agency.
That's considered a conservative estimate, said Dave Fantle, Visit Milwaukee's vice president of public relations. Unlike a convention group, sports fans have a lot more "down time" to spend their money, Fantle said. Also, there will likely be hotel rooms used beyond the 3,500 room nights that have already been committed, he said.
McGillycuddy's, like other downtown bars, was already going to pick up additional business, Melotik said. He had been planning to open around 10 a.m., one hour earlier than normal, to accommodate fans preparing for the Bradley Center's first game, which has an 11:25 a.m. start.
But landing the Xavier gig essentially amounts to having a private party, starting at 9 a.m. Melotik was told to expect 250 to 300 people at McGillycuddy's, which has an indoor capacity of around 300, with room for more on its patio. Melotik and his crew will provide a breakfast buffet at $15 apiece for Xavier fans, who are being directed to the bar by the university's alumni association. And, yes, even at 9 a.m., the bar will be open.
A second pre-game reception is scheduled for Sunday-assuming Xavier beats Minnesota.
McGillycuddy's got the booking after Xavier's alumni association scouted out sites in Milwaukee and the other tournament opening round cities a few weeks ago in preparation for an expected tournament appearance, said Tom Brady, an association official.
McGillycuddy's was attractive because it's a short walk to the Bradley Center, and it has enough space to handle a large crowd, said Brady and Shannon Cassidy Cox, president of the association's Milwaukee chapter.
When the tournament pairings were announced on Sunday, and Xavier found out it would be traveling to Milwaukee, the booking with McGillycuddy's was confirmed. Of the eight opening round locations, Milwaukee is the closest to Cincinnati, where Xavier is located. Brady and Cox expect a lot of fans to make the roughly seven-hour drive from Cincinnati. There also is a large Xavier alumni base in the Chicago area.
"Xavier is a small school," said Cox. "But what I have found is that the people are hard-core, and loyal."
And, Melotik hopes, hungry and thirsty.

Two positive results mean Rangers now dare to dream. Their win over Bursaspor at Ibrox last evening, coupled with the earlier draw at Manchester United, have given the Scottish champions hope of an unlikely progression in the Champions League.
Tough tests, namely back-to-back meetings with Valencia, are upcoming yet Rangers have gained early confidence from their position as joint group leaders alongside United.
"We have two games left at home and I believe they are going to be the key to us qualifying," said the Rangers defender Madjid Bougherra. "The win over Bursaspor has put us in an excellent position. Our confidence is high and it is a good pleasure to see Rangers in the top two in the group going into the next game. We wait for the next game and I think if we win it we can have one step in the last 16."
The latest version of Rangers' tactical approach saw Walter Smith deploying five defenders for the win over the Turkish champions. "People can say what they want about us, but we do our best and at the moment it is working," said Bougherra. "After this win I feel it is realistic for us to qualify from the group. If we can play like we did against Bursaspor, at home, then we have a chance."
Bougherra's defensive colleague Kirk Broadfoot feels Rangers' European showings have thus far exceeded even their own expectations.
"I think that's the case," the full-back said. "I don't think anyone would've thought we'd have four points after two games in the Champions League, especially [after] going to Old Trafford [first]. I think it's probably the best we could've hoped for and we're just delighted to get them."
Broadfoot's honesty extends to his assessment of Rangers' chances against Valencia, who visit Glasgow for the next match, on 20 October. That game comes in the midst of a crucial spell for the Ibrox team, with the first Old Firm match of the campaign four days later.
"We're not going to kid ourselves: the form Valencia are in and the way they are playing in their own league [which they lead]; it's going to be a very difficult game," Broadfoot said. "If we get anything, it's going to be a bonus.
"October is a big, big month. Obviously on the league front we've got Celtic and that's a big game. It will take care of itself on the day. I think Champions League games also take care of themselves because everyone gets up for it, including the fans. But the manager seems to be getting his tactics spot on just now and I'm sure, come the Valencia game, he'll get them right again."

Union Tourism and Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma, the current occupant, confirmed that he has been asked to vacate the duplex bungalow.
Incidentally, Sharma was also in the eye of a storm last month for his remarks that Kalam was a great nationalist "despite being a Muslim".
Supporters of the decision point to the popular perception of Aurangzeb as "a cruel, dictatorial and despotic ruler", and to "the need for correcting mistakes of our past".
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard, according to a release issued by his office.
Puffin Books will publish "My India: Ideas for the Future", billed as a sequel to "Ignited Minds". It will be a collection of insightful and thought-provoking speeches from Kalam's post presidency years.
APJ Abdul Kalam's mortal remains were flown to his hometown on Wednesday in a special IAF helicopter as the nation bid an emotional adieu to the country's 'missile man'.
This week, TV was overtaken by news.
Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and Congress's leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge will also attend the funeral.
In July 2008, the Samajwadi Party (SP) famously changed its stand on the Indo-US nuclear deal — easing pressure on the then Manmohan Singh government — after a meeting with former President A P J Abdul Kalam. The SP justified the change of heart, saying Kalam had told them that the deal was in India's interest. […]
Dr AJP Abdul Kalam was "equally at ease before an audience of suave, globe-trotting ministers and a class of young students", PM Modi said.
"I have great love and respect for Mr A P J Abdul Kalam. It is my desire to attend his funeral and pay respects to him. However, due to my health condition I am unable to undertake a journey," said Jayalalithaa.
As scientist and as president, Kalam asked the questions that pointed us in the right direction.
HRD Ministry officials said there are a set of laid-down procedures to name a programme after heads of states and measures would be initiated before renaming it.
Pattnaik recalled that Kalam had invited him for the first time to Rastrapati Bhawan in 2005 when sand art was not well-known in the country and encouraged him a lot.
With a single cot, a table and a chair, the small room was meant only for single accommodation.

Trouble in the Trees
Martha was on the move before Sarah could look up. Having gathered her skirts over one arm, the woman ran toward the sound of her son's screams. Sarah set her plant down gently and quickly followed. She stopped as soon as she saw what was going on and stepped back into the shadows of the trees.
A man was holding Ryan tightly in his grasp. Greg lay sprawled at his feet. It was barely perceivable, but Greg's chest rose up and down, indicating he was alive. Martha stood behind her other three boys who looked ready to attack. The problem was the knife at Ryan's throat. Sarah moved as quietly as she could, hoping to circle wide to get behind the man. His focus was on the boys. Sarah tucked her skirt up in to its waist band as she moved.
"What has my son done to deserve the wrath of the Gods?" Martha demanded to know, her voice near tears. "Why not take me, instead of him?"
The man's voice grated on Sarah's ears. "It's not what your boy has done, it is the one harbored in your house hold. My liege has a grudge against her."
"Liege?" Martha exclaimed, clearly shocked by this statement. "Since when did the Nigiri owe allegiance to a Lord?"
A twig snapped under Sarah's foot and the man's attention whipped around to her. An eerie smile spread across his face, sending a shiver down Sarah's spine. He immediately flung Ryan at his mother and attacked Sarah. It was all she could do to stay on her own two feet, he came so fast. Still she managed, hampered by clothing as she was.
They struggled, back and forth, Sarah barely keeping an upper hand. Suddenly he whipped around as Martha screeched. Ryan ran towards them, a large stick held tight in his fist. With a forceful backhand the man sent Ryan sprawling to the ground, unconscious.
That act gave Sarah the fury and the moment she needed to do what had to be done. Grabbing the man's shoulders as he turned back to her she brought her knee up, full force, into his groin. He doubled over in pain. Sarah stepped back, quickly readying herself. As the man stood she placed a well aimed kick to his knee. Crack. The sound of bone breaking made her cringe. Sarah jumped back as the man fell forward.
He looked up at her, his eyes full of hate, "You may have gotten away from my Liege, but you will not escape me."
Sarah continued to back up. The man had pulled a dagger from his boot. But before he could throw it, Greg gave him a massive wallop to the head with a log. The man fell forward into unconsciousness. Greg stumbled and Sarah quickly came to his aid.
"Boys," Martha broke into the stunned silence. "Go gather the bags we left over there."
She shooed Ralph, Travis and Trevor off to where she and Sarah had been working. Ever so gently she picked up Ryan.
"Thank the Gods he's still alive," she whispered as they made their way to the cart.
"Shouldn't we," Sarah began as she looked back to where the man lay unconscious with a broken knee.
"Best to let the Moyther and Fayther handle it. Till then you just best not stray from the Scout Command Center," Greg stated.
The twins and Ralph were waiting for them nervously at the cart. Sarah helped Greg get in. He had sprained an ankle, so he sat in back holding Ryan. Sitting up front Sarah couldn't help but study the prone figure of the man. His clothing made him blend into the fallen leaves on the ground. Martha had used the word Nigiri, and that was close enough to ninja for Sarah to make the connection. Her thoughts were interrupted as the cart jolted into motion.
Martha urged the pony to go as fast as she dared. She didn't slow down until they reached town. They came to a stop abreast of the Scout Barracks on the other side. Sarah clambered down and helped Trevor, Travis and Ralph out of the back. Ryan looked at her with bleary eyes.
"Did we win?" he whispered.
Greg immediately hushed him with a harsh word before Sarah could answer. Martha cracked the reigns and the cart quickly sped off down the road where, Sarah hoped, there was a doctor. She and the boys, in a much more somber mood than the morning, walked between the houses and the barracks. She kept them as busy as possible while planting her herbs, hoping to keep today's incident out of their minds, including hers.

About 12 years ago I sent an anonymous email. As I typed that devastatingly romantic Valentine message, I felt a strange kind of thrill. After all, this was something I would never have dared to say in person.
But as soon as I sent it, I felt curiously deflated. I would have no idea of her reaction, and she would have no idea who'd written it. I should have felt unburdened, but instead I felt ashamed of my pathetic inability to deliver a compliment.
A bunch of anonymous emails were received by journalists and bloggers a few days ago. They were intended to promote a new service which facilitates the sending of such, but as a PR stunt it was pretty clumsy, creating as it did a certain amount of paranoia and unease, thus instantly flagging up the service's drawbacks. Forced on to the back foot, its founder explained that this was a "really positive and exciting tool", and when pressed further on its negative qualities he replied that this "really isn't what the product is about – it's about saying the truth you're ashamed to say".
There are a number of new anonymous services knocking about that sell themselves as facilitators of that "truth". Secret and Whisper are the main ones, but they both serve as a kind of overflow pipe for Twitter and Facebook, enabling the kind of bragging or complaining that people would normally be reluctant to put their names to. As they're publicly visible, boasts of sexual conquests, spleen-venting and self-pity are endemic, and I suppose there's a school of thought that might consider that to be liberating, or a more "authentic" form of social media.
But anonymous emails are different, because they're private. If you anonymously say something unpleasant to someone, you're a coward – but as I discovered, if you anonymously say something complimentary, you're also a coward. The founder of this particular service says that he believes in "providing a tool to connect with people on a more candid and personal level", but a) it's not personal, and b) why does he believe that we're not already connecting candidly enough? Perhaps he's trying to drag us toward some kind of social utopia that I don't fully comprehend, but I know that human beings understand that there are limits to candour, because we've been negotiating them for millennia.
We also know that anyone who proudly claims that they "tell it like it is," that they "speak as they find" or "don't mince their words" is generally a bit gittish, but it's precisely that kind of untrammelled splurging of ill-considered thoughts that this service encourages.
In an age of excessive online information, ignoring any unattributable messages would seem like an excellent place to start trimming fat, so I've sensibly put an email filter in place to send these anonymous messages winging their way up the arse of nowhere.
I can't quite bring myself to name the service because it doesn't deserve the publicity that it thinks it does. But it's part of a trend where apps and services prod and poke at aspects of human nature that are probably best left alone.
It's naive to expect the creators to morally rein themselves in, but we should understand what they are – social experiments dressed up as entertainment – and laugh out loud at claims that they're somehow benign. In this particular case, the service even provides a long list of "dos and don'ts", presumably to absolve itself of responsibility when cruelty and unpleasantness rear their heads.
Nota bene: if you have to construct an etiquette guide that preempts the ways in which your service can be abused, you probably know that it's less of a service and more of an exercise in self-publicity.Reuse content

Investing in COSI is not for the faint of heart. From a high of 10 dollars in 2006, the stock has lingered in the $1/share range since 2009 and currently sits at .85 cents a share for a market cap of $45 million dollars.
I recommend this stock as a speculative play. Cosi almost was kicked off the NASDAQ last year because the stock traded under $1/share for 30 straight trading days. We are approaching the 30 day mark again for COSI's stock trading under $1/share, as it dipped below this level on April 25th. However, NASDAQ as we all know is pretty busy right now with the whole FB IPO debacle, and as of yet there has been no indication from NASDAQ that they are reconsidering delisting COSI.
Regardless of where COSI is listed, I like it as an investment opportunity.
Here are the main reasons why I like this stock:
The company is financially healthy. "Cosi reported that as of April 2, 2012 it had cash and cash equivalents of $4,813,000 and virtually no debt other than lease obligations."
New CEO Carin Stutz. She invested $50,084.39 into Cosi on 1/27/12. Stutz has previous experience being at the helm of such iconic American restaurant franchises as Chili's (NYSE:EAT) and Applebee's (NYSE:DIN). Ms. Stutz seems like the perfect person to take COSI to the next level. I consider it a positive that Ms. Stutz, with all of her experience in the restaurant business, is confident enough in the business to invest $50,000 at the beginning of her tenure with the company.
System-wide comparable restaurant sales for the first quarter as measured for restaurants in operation for more than 15 months recorded an aggregate 7.5% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2011. The breakdown in comparable sales between Company-owned and franchise-operated restaurants are as follows:
For the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2012: Company-owned 6.2%, Franchise-operated 9.5%, Total System 7.5%
"The continued positive sales trend and improved operating margins in the quarter reflect our ongoing efforts to make Cosi a strong and profitable brand," said Carin Stutz, Cosi's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our confidence is strong as we remain focused on driving sales and traffic while simplifying the guest experience, improving our operating margins and examining ways to further reduce our administrative costs."
4. I like the restaurant. I am a believer in investing what you know. They've got great flatbread pizza, which I highly recommend.
Why you might not want to invest:
1. As I said, this stock is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a safe bet, look elsewhere. This stock is the opposite of a dividend player. This stock is for people who see potential in the COSI brand, wiho can afford to wait and see how this story develops.
2. COSI is still unprofitable. Despite the increase in same store sales, Cosi still lost just over a million dollars in the previous quarter. There is still a ways to go before this company turns a profit, and this stock necessitates having a long term perspective.
3.The current economic environment is not exactly conducive to growin. In what Paul Krugman calls a full blown depression, trying to grow a restaurant chain that is asking people to buy flatbread pizzas may be difficult.
Taking everything into consideration, I'm bullish on this stock. If you're interested, I think a stake in COSI right now could be a very lucrative investment down the road. The .85 cent/share price represents a great opportunity to buy a significant number of shares for not too much money.
Investing in COSI is a calculated gamble. At this point, the potential downside in investing in COSI is limited. There does not appear to be any near-term bankruptcy risk, and the company holds 4 million dollars in cash on hand. There have been talks of buyouts from Panera (NASDAQ:PNRA), though I wouldn't count on it. Nonetheless,this signifies that there is recognized value in COSI from a competitor. I do not see anything in the near-term that would cause a COSI investment to go to zero.
The potential upside, on the other hand, is huge. "From humble beginnings in 1996, one restaurant based on a small Parisian Café has evolved to a dynamic growth company with more than 100 restaurants in 16 states and the District of Columbia. The story continues to unfold as we plan and open many new restaurants across the country, making life more delicious for more and more people along the way."
If Cosi can establish itself in the future as a national brand approaching anything remotely close to Panera, or Chili's or Applebee's, people who invest now will be handsomely rewarded. A lot of the sentiment around COSI is negative and I am likely going to be derided for even suggesting that COSI can ever approach the level of a Panera or Chili's. However, I truly believe in the potential of COSI to expand beyond the 16 states it currently has a presence in. COSI has the right person leading the company, and this company appears to be heading in the right direction. If you have a little appetite for risk, COSI could be a great play.
Disclosure: I am long COSI.

Famous actor crashes World Cup party - I bet he's fun to hang out with!
Robert De Niro was in Brooklyn, New York yesterday (Thursday) filming a movie and took a break to watch the USA vs. Germany soccer match -- at someone's home.
Warner Brothers sent an email to the manager of an apartment building asking if they could install a portable satellite on the roof and run a cable down to his trailer so that he could watch the game. But before the building could respond, De Niro had already made his own arrangements. Some folks were getting together at an apartment to watch the game and invited the actor. Not wanting to miss any of the action, De Niro accepted the invite and watched the game in someone's living room. (Business Insider)

Outcomes of 2nd Test match played at mumbai.
The 4 match series was now equally poised at 1-1, with its next match to be played at Kolkata on 5th December.
Many questions were raised over the captain, Mr. Cool, master batsman Sachin Tendulkar, and on the ability of the world champions. India has lost the second test match against the English. England had a great come back match after a 9 wicket lose in the 1st match. Indian batsmen have completely failed to show their best against the spin bowlers of England.
10wicket win against India in its own den, is not an easy task for any team in the world. Indian spinner's very ordinary work on the turning track let the England batsmen to go after them and score some easy runs. Indian batsmen who were considered as the better players of spin did not even manage to post a 100 run target on the board, both Penesar and Swann used up the pitch well were as our legend spinners namely Harbajan, Ojha, Aswin failed to do it. Ojha tried it to an extent but brilliant batting from cook and KP did all the work for England.
At the presentation, Dhoni said," Definitely outplayed. Monty bowled really well. All get turn, but the pace he bowled at made sure that the batsmen were on the front foot. To some extent, yes I am disappointed with our spinners. We let England bat on the back foot. We could have brought them forward," desoppointed Indian captain added that "When two best sides are playing, series are close. It will be a test of character in the two coming games,"
The winning captain of today, cook said. "When two best sides are playing, series are close. It will be a test of character in the two coming games," He praised the contribution made by Kevin and Penesar.
Man of the match was given to KP, for his brilliant innings of 186, that too in a sharp turning sub-continent track. He said, "Panesar and Swann were outstanding. Cooky didn't talk about himself, but he was outstanding. What a difference a week makes. The way boys have come back is great. Cricket wise, it is not bad now. Thanks to the guys in the dressing room and the management. Every day you put on an England jersey, it is special. Thanks to the supporters who have travelled, and also the Indian support. They have been great too,"
The 4 match series was now equally poised at 1-1, with its next match to be played at Kolkata on 5th December.

One ForeverMature
my best not to show it. Cameras are still flashing. I start to sweat under all the bright lights. I take a deep breath and remind myself why I'm here. Over twenty years and we've finally got a shot after all the hard work.
"I want to first thank the committee that organized this event to allow me to represent my company to show you all our endeavors we've had for the last few decades. I am confident that what we have in store to show you tonight will be awe-inspiring and will solve many problems that we face as a nation today. In fact, we hope it will help the entire world," I began my speech, finally shed the pre-jitters and focused.
A screen came down behind me and the lights began to dim.
"We've come a long way since the dawn on man-kind began it's manifest destiny. We started in Ethiopia on the continent of South Africa and through a two-hundred thousand year journey, we've managed to migrate and settle roughly eighty percent of th world's surface. It's time we keep that tradition going," I began.
"We've overcome many tragedies, cured countless diseases, endured thousands of hardships from droughts, wars, major hurricanes, earthquakes; the list could go on and on. We keep pushing through but why? I believe we were put on this Earth to do something pretty outstanding: to love, to grow, to invent, and to reshape the world. We've conquered this Earth and made just about every discovery we could make. The only places that remain are our oceans and our frozen continent of ant-arctica. Though, what about beyond our own Earth? Sure, we have space stations, we visited the moon, but what if we could do more? What would it take to do more?" I pause again and breath as I look around.
"NASA was successful in sending a few men and women to Mars three years ago on the first red planet expedition. The problem was that they barely made it back alive. Actually, two of them didn't. Thanks to meteorites that cracked the hull of the ship, the loss of water and fuel, and the failure to supply ample food rations nearly killed our heroes of exploration. Upon their return, the good people of NASA looked for answers; ways to solve these problems so that they would never occur again. So, when they overheard about our company's efforts, they included our research in their plans. However, because of some of the problems they faced, major investors were beginning to pull out. I hope what we have to show you today will change your minds so NASA may reinstate their plans to begin the next big step for mankind: the colonization of Mars," I say and the flash photography doubles and I smile. The lights dim and I move to the side of the stage. One of the workers who are helping with the event comes in and wheels the podium behind the curtains.
"With this new research, we are on the brink of changing for the better. We just need your help!" I say and the video we have prepared for tonight begins to play.
Jazzy upbeat music plays and the narrator begins to speak, "welcome to the next big step in Manifest Destiny. One forever would like to present to you it's major projects. We believe that if we must change the world, we must first change ourselves. Everyday, men and women work hard to keep this world going strong." The video demonstrates the working man assembling cars, policemen driving around a city with it's flashing lights going off, men and women tearing apart chickens on a conveyor belt, doctors performing a routine surgery and then a department of transportation crew paving a highway.
"We've made so many discoveries since the industrial age, since the first technological boom when the internet became a household service, and since the creation of indoor plumbing and waste water treatment, electricity, pharmaceuticals, the list could go on and on. We've

A named subquery is also known as inline view. It can be joined in the same manner as a regular table.
-- -- The following query returns a list of employee managers as well as -- the department id to which each is assigned. Note that the employee -- managers utilize the self relationship in the EMPLOYEES table. Also -- note that an employee manager is different than a department manager. -- SELECT first_name, last_name, department_id FROM employees WHERE manager_id IS NULL OR employee_id IN (SELECT manager_id FROM employees); -- -- This query can be used as a named subquery with an alias of managers. -- It can then be joined to the departments table to see a list of each -- employee manager and the name of the department to which each is assigned. -- SELECT managers.first_name, managers.last_name, d.department_name FROM ( SELECT first_name, last_name, department_id FROM employees WHERE manager_id IS NULL OR employee_id IN ( SELECT manager_id FROM employees ) ) managers INNER JOIN departments d ON d.department_id = managers.department_id;
This example starts with a query that makes sense for use as an inline view. It is a listing of all employee managers. This query is then used in the second query in the place of a table and is joined with the departments table to provide the final set of results.

A lawyer's lawyer, Mr. Mohsen analyzed the case and gave sound counsel. Will use him again and highly recommend his services. Thank you.
Posted by Keara
Mr. Mohsen was very straight forward from the very beginning until the end of my case. I was very satisfied with the physical therapy location & the overall staff during every encounter. I would definetly use his service again if need be.
Posted by Wanda
I was referred to Arya Mohsen by a friend and I am so glad I choose this office. We have many Lawyers who only look out for themselves, but not this office. Mr Mohsen, and Victoria were very knowledgeable, prompt, and very friendly. They were attentive to my concerns and needs. I highly recommend this office.
Posted by DeShawn
I had Mr. Mohsen on two different cases and he represented me with great intergrity, professionalism and honesty. In both cases my settlements were always very rewarding!
I referred him to two of my family members, I will always retain him when needed. Excellent Service!!!!!
Posted by Tonia
Nov2012- I was in an 3car automobile accident, (at 2 1/2 months)expecting my first child. I was transported to the hospital, where luckily the baby was alright. Mr.Mohsen & I were in contact frequently but if he wasn't available he would always have Victoria to update me on things. My case was well organized & he was on top of things. Thanks to his preparedness as well as the rest of his staff I had no problem with talking to. Febuary2013- he called me with numbers & in April2013 I received what was rightfully owed to me. During the whole 5months we stayed in contact. He only referred me to the best & things were done quickly. Now, I have 1month to go to motherhood. & I would like to thank Mr.Mohsen & his staff very much for the support & taking good care of me. & yes yes yes! I would definitely recommend Mr.Mohsen to everyone who read reviews & those who pass it along because I sure will. & I would absolutely call him if I have any other problems. Overall I've had 2 lawyers in the past, one lawyer passed my case over to another & they told me to call them! & I decided to never call again. But, with Mr. Mohsen he'll call you with detail by detail or you can go into the office to better understand things. I was actually referred to Mr.Mohsen & I'll continue the line of referring him to others I know.
Posted by Moises
The service I received from the firm was exceptional. I was aware of what was happening with my case at all times. They handled everything professionally and in a timely manner. I was impressed on how fast my case closed with them.
Posted by Kristen
I worked with Mr. Mohsen on not one but two cases in which he got me what i deserved very fast. His service was remarkable and you could always call and talk to him regarding your case . his information was always correct and he was very friendly.
Posted by anonymous
I was very pleased by my representation by Mr. Mohsen. I feel like I was given very reasonable, realistic and measured advice, and that is exactly what I was looking for. I would be happy to work with him again.

Princess Dorm 4
Book by: stargirl2
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Princess Dorm 4
Princess Dorm 3.
Okay, so you all begged me to explain the Caroline thing. It's about a girl I used to know. She was really dumb, and her name was Caroline. Well, she wasn't exactly dumb, she was just a nutcase. She didn't really grasp the concept of anything, and she ran around saying a bunch of stuff that I guess she thought was really impressive and smart, but it was just a bunch of gibberish to the normal people. I was the only person who was even nice to her, but on the inside, she drove me absolutely insane. I was glad to leave her behind when Mom married that king guy. She cried when I left, but I just hugged her and left. Even that annoyed me. There, you've been informed, and we can get back to the story.
When I woke up, nobody was singing, which was a slight disappointment, but no one was even in the room. That was also very disappointing. Then I heard a rush in the hallway and my door swung open. It was the Alice girl that we had saved last night.
"Come quickly! There are two new boys just arriving in the Dreamworks dorm!"
I threw on my housecoat and we both ran down the stairs, Alice holding my hand and pulling me faster than I wanted to go. When we got to the lobby, I saw two boys; neither of them could possibly be older than fourteen. One was barefoot, wearing brown pants and a blue drawstring hoodie, all covered in frost. He'd clearly not changed clothes for a while, which was evident because of the fact that his pants legs only went down to his ankles. The hoodie fit fine. His hair was white, spiked up like he could care less about how his hair looked. He carried with him a long stick with a curve on the top, it too frosted over. He was swishing the bottom of it on the floor absently. As he did, the carpet covered in frost that wouldn't seem to melt. He had slight freckles, not as much as I did, and a mischievous look in his eyes, a look that said, "If you and I are going to be friends, you're going to have to get used to being in trouble." They were a pale, pale blue, so pale you almost couldn't tell whether they were blue or white.
The other boy had brown hair that went down to his chin. It was also messy, and he clearly didn't care how it looked. He had a nervous smile, and I saw that he had a little gap between his top front teeth. He wore a coarsely woven blue-green long-sleeve shirt with a brown fur vest over top. His pants were brown, and he had a brown fur boot over one of his feet. His other foot… well, it wasn't a foot. It was some sort of metal contraption. I immediately insisted in my mind that I would find out how it happened. He kept pointing out the window and mentioning this Toothless guy. When I actually bothered to look out the window, I saw a giant black dragon. From what I could hear of what he was saying, that dragon was his. His big brown eyes said, "I will try and try to do what would make you happy, but I probably won't be able to do it. I hope you're okay with that." There was also a touch of sadness in them and I could immediately see that something really awful had been said or done to him, and recently too.
I didn't feel like flirting with either of them. Before I saw Derek, I used to be a great big flirt, but now that Derek was in my life, no matter how minorly, I didn't want anything to do with any other boy until Derek flat out said that he didn't like me and I knew he meant it. Besides, Merida and the brunette were already laughing and talking and seeming to be getting to know each other, so I would stay out of that. Rapunzel was singing that magic song that made her hair glow for the frost kid, and his eyes were glowing. Not from the light of her hair, but from wonder. There was another look in his eyes now, one that said, "I know you and love you already, but you don't know me." Kind of like a stalker's eyes, but with less of a stalker attitude and more of a guardian look, if you understand that.
"What are their names, if you know them?" I asked Alice.
"The frosty one is none other than Jack Frost, and the brunette's name is Hiccup." I stared at her funny. "It's a tradition where he's from. The uglier the name, the less likely they are to be kidnapped by goblins. Foolish of course, but it's his name now, so we'll accept it."
I smiled. This school was like a family tree with only two bad apples. I thought of them like my brothers and sisters. Except for Derek. He was more like… not family. I loved these two boys like family already. I decided to heck with it! I would just go up and hug them both. Hiccup waved at me and asked Merida for my name.
"Oh, that's Vanessa. She came here only two wee days ago."
"Welcome to the school Hiccup. I hope you feel like family here." Then I hugged him. At first he was all shocked, but then he hugged me back. Merida looked at me and mouthed "What are you doing?"
"Thanks Vanessa. I hope so too." Hiccup smiled and I waved as I went over to Jack.
Jack's smile matched his original eye-message, of friendship and trouble. He waved to me before Rapunzel noticed that I was there.
"Oh! Jack, this is Vanessa. She's new too, only came two days ago." Rapunzel cocked her head in my direction.
"Hi Jack. You're not going to get into too much trouble here, are you?" I asked.
"I'm not making any promises." He laughed, and it made me want to start a snowball fight, to have fun, and run around, not give a care about my responsibilities.
I shrugged off the feeling and wrapped my arms around him. He was as cold as I thought he would be. Jack wrapped his arms around me too.
"Welcome to the family Jack." I said softly.
"Glad to be here Vanessa." He let me go and kissed my cheek. Rapunzel told me that little swirly frost patterns appeared on my cheek and stayed for over ten minutes. She also glared at me as if she wanted to burn a whole through my… well, my whole body. I didn't get it.
When I walked away, I touched my cheek where he had kissed it and felt severely conflicted. He had all the wonder and whimsy that I strived to have. If I couldn't be that whimsical, I wanted to be with somebody who was. But what about Derek? Didn't I like him? I was so conflicted. If what happened to change that hadn't happened, I still would be. But it did, and now I'm with the guy I want to be with. Oops, almost gave something away! Lips sealed about the future for now. Only one hint; the world is more beautiful now that we're married. Yes, I'm married, don't act all surprised. Back to my memoirs.
So I went through my regular schedule and I found out that I had Magic with Jack as well. He sat next to me.
"I hope you don't mind that I sit here." Jack said with a shrug.
"Oh, no it's not. It's safe to sit there, and … I'd like you to sit there." I snapped out of my stupor. "I mean, because Mrs. Pendragon would like me to catch you up on you studies, most likely."
He looked from side to side, and then he kicked his feet up on the desk and blew a shaft of cold air all through the room. The room was soon occupied with a mysterious blizzard and Jack reached for my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked nervously.
"Anywhere but here. Come on, Vanessa, let's have some fun."
I smiled and took his hand. We ran out the class door just as the blizzard began to settle. He took me outside. He swished his staff around and the courtyard became filled with snow. While I was looking around in wonder and feeling a lot less homesick, he whipped a snowball at the back of my head. I turned around with a shocked expression and gasped.
"You dare hit a princess?" I asked.
"I saved the world. I can throw snowballs at princesses all day long if I want to."
I made it seem like I had let it go and started to roll a giant snowball. When Jack asked me what I was doing, I said I was making a snowman. He offered to help, so I let him. He touched it with his staff and it became as big as the base of a snowman normally is. I did the best hold-together spell I knew and hefted the thing up when his back was turned. I was strong enough to carry it without struggling, so I walked as a normal person would. He didn't turn around until I had already dropped the thing straight on top of his head. He collapsed into a snow bank and didn't move.
"Jack, are you okay?" I asked, worried as all get out.
He didn't answer for a long while when he did he said, "Help me up. I think some of my ribs are broken."
I panicked and grabbed his hand, delicately helping him up. When he was on his feet, I still had his hand, and I was wrapping his arm around my shoulder so that I could help him in. When it was completely around, he smirked and leaned on me so hard I lost my balance and ended up face-first in the snow bank. He laughed when he saw my face, red and covered in snow.
"Nobody out pranks the master." said Jack. I laughed and held out my hand for him to help me up. When he grabbed it, I yanked him down with me.
He laughed faintly, but then he looked into my eyes with severity. He was so close to my face, I could fell his warm breath on my cheek. For one minute, I thought he was going to kiss me. Then I remembered that we had just met, and I didn't have a crush on him, let alone want to kiss him.
He instead helped me up and asked me if I could stand a long story. I told him my mother used to tell me stories about how grass grew and how to know if it was growing right.
"Wow, your mother is extremely boring. I pity you for having to live with her."
"I know. It was torture, but King… um… what's his face was worse. He took Mom away and didn't ever talk to me." I started to get sad. "Pretty soon Mom stopped talking to me too. Neither of them cared about anything I said or did unless it was something bad." I started to cry. "This school was all his idea and it actually turned out fine, but I'm so confused right now about you name it. I can't stay here and risk losing it all, but if I don't stay, I'm forced to going back to being ignored and neglected."
For a guy as cold as Jack Frost, he had the warmest smile, laugh, and heart of anyone I'd ever met. He put his hand under my chin and tilted my head up so I could look into his eyes.
"Merida, I don't age. I've been around for as long as the world can remember, making snow and frost and cold wherever I go. Nothing about my life was warm; I had no home, no friends, and no comfort. I played around with the children and did what I liked to do, telling myself that if I just abandoned all responsibilities, that I would live on this Earth and have fun and never need anyone. That worked out fine, until one day, I found a tower in a clearing of a place I had never stopped in before. In the window, I saw the face of a little girl, which surprised me, because it was the middle of the night." I managed a laugh, and it wasn't even forced. "I flew up to the window and asked the girl what she was doing. She said…"
"You could fly?" I asked in amazement.
"Well, I still can, actually." Jack pushed off of the ground and whooshed in a loop de loop before touching down again. "She told me that she was watching her birthday lights. She pointed, and sure enough, there were little lights throughout the whole sky. She said that one day she wanted to go see her lights in person, but her mother wouldn't let her leave the tower. She looked at me and asked that I come back on the same day the next year. I came on that day every year until she turned seven. That was three years. On the fourth year, I forgot precisely which day her birthday was and was too embarrassed to go apologize. I also didn't want to break her heart further, so I never came again. It was tragic, because I promised her on her fifth birthday that one day; I would take her to go see the lights. When I finally worked up the nerve to go back and apologize, she was gone. I thought I'd never see her again. But I did. I saw her again today, and thank the heavens that she doesn't remember me."
"C'mon, you're killing me. Tell me who it was!" I was eager now, so very eager.
"Rapunzel. Just don't tell her, I'd sound creepy. The point is, for years, I've been in love, and for years, I've had to pretend I was all right. It's not good for your soul, so promise me you'll never do anything that you're going to regret when you grow up. Even if you do, at least you'll die and never have to live with you regrets as long as I have lived with mine."
I didn't want to be like this boy anymore. I thought he was carefree, worried about nothing, but he was more sorrowful than anyone I'd ever met. I didn't think for a moment and, without hesitation or doubt, kissed Jack square on the mouth. Then I pulled away in sadness, because I had a suspicion that I was the first person to ever have kissed him, which I found sad.
"Oh, now I've gone and done it."I ran away crying. One minute we were fine, just getting to be friends, and then I go ahead and confuse everyone, myself and Jack.
I ran until I could see no more snow and it had all melted off of me. I found the only logical place I could think to go; the gazebo Kida and I had sat in a yesterday. Was it really just yesterday that my life had made sense? It felt like years ago. When I was inside, who but Derek would be sitting there?
"Oh, Vanessa! Good to see you. I was looking for you, actually. There's a dance tomorrow, and I was wondering if you would…" I cut him off.
"Derek, I can't say yes or no to that. I'm turning my back on our tomorrow and forgetting our yesterday. There will be no we or us for a very long time. I'm never going to be part of an us if all of this keeps up." I ran back into the school and went to my room, sat and cried.
I don't know how long I was up there for before Merida opened the door. Hiccup was there as well.
"…And this is my…" She heard me and ran over to grab my hands. Hiccup came in too. "Och, are ya okay? Are ya hurt?"
"Only in my heart, Meri, only in my heart." I continued to sob and wouldn't explain anything to either of them.
"Okay, well, I'm just going to…Yeah. I'll see you at dinner Merida." Hiccup stood and left.
"Are ya goin' to tell me anything now that he's gone?" I continued to sob. "I take it that's a no. You do realize you've been awailin' for over an hour now?" I stopped as if on cue.
"Crying's overrated." I said with my voice completely normal.
"Wow. I should have done that a while ago." She laughed. She looked at the clock. "It's lunch now. Are ya comin' with me?"
I shrugged. I wanted to see the girls, but would I be able to face Jack after what had happened despite all he'd told me about his love for Rapunzel?
To be continued.

Totaly awesome!!! better than the last one.
keep it up and please read my book. i know you could give me great advice. my book is called "Blood Brother Chronicles."
keep up the good work.
Oh, thank you soo much! I'm only fourteen, so it's awesome that you love mine. I have a fifth part in the works right this very moment and it should be up by tomorrow evening. Shcool interupts genius. I could use some feedback from you too, because I'm not sure where to go with it from here. Post it in the comments please, and we could be virtual writing partners.
She... It... give me a second.
*gathers himself*
Okay, I'm going to be straight with you. There's a lot of good in this chapter, but also a lot of stuff I didn't like.
You pulled off the good with Jack and Hiccup, mostly Jack. Probably the strongest characterization and clearest description I've seen in the series yet was his introduction and dialogue. The introduction gave me a clear mental image of him, and his dialogue really gave him depth. I really started to like Jack by the end of his story, more than I've ever liked Derek or even Rapunzel. You really captured him being wise and down-to-Earth, and I got a clear mental image of that. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but your sentence structure and paragraphing seem to be improving as well.
Now the bad. You sort of made me hate Venessa. She went from loyal, to flirty, to playful, to melancholy, to pouring out in tears at the drop of a hat. And to top it all off, she was perfectly fine only a few seconds after Merida talked to her. She seems completely emotional to the point of being bipolar, and overly dependent. You're the author, so it's up to you, but I like my female leads to be strong and dependable, and for the most part that's how it's been so far. Until now. That's just my opinion, but there it is.
Still looking forward to reading Chapter 6, and hoping Vanessa recovers from her bout of insanity.
I know. I did that random 'crying's overrated' thing because that's just my humor. And Jack and Vanessa weren't supposed to be together. I just tend to show severe favoritism to my protagonists, so I had to give Vanessa Jack. I hope it didn't seem as though I didn't mean to do it.
No, I feel as if... wait, am I allowed to do this? Respond to a response? No? Well, whatever.
Anyway, I feel as if I would have missed out on Jack if Vanessa hadn't ended up with him, since this is a first person perspective. I'm glad that's how it turned out, because Jack's my favorite so far. I think Vanessa may have pushed herself onto Jack a bit too much, but hey, that's Vanessa, what can you do?
It makes sense to me that Jack was able to get with Vanessa, because Jack's love for Rapunzel is eight years old. Even love can fade over time like that, especially when you're a few hundred years old and the girl you love was only seven to begin with (which I'm pretty sure makes him the first super-pedophile).
Besides, this sets up the love triangle that drives the next few chapters very well. (uh... spoiler alert?)
ok!! I had a comment but I read regy's and I found he gave the same one!! so I'll wait till I get to the parts seven and eight!! and I do agree with him your sentence structure is much better now!!

For forty-five years, the NB-52B was a fixture at Edwards Air Force Base. While the NB-52B is most famous for launching the three North American X-15 rocket planes, it continued to serve in the role of launch platform for a multitude of programs until its final mission on November 16, 2004. It was the oldest flying B-52 by nearly ten years. The book is 200 pages long. It contains 246 color photographs, 89 black and white photographs, and 2 other illustrations.

It's true.
I tend to get a bit overly zealous each new season. The excitement of new in-season fruits and veggies just waiting to be cooked, baked, preserved, and enjoyed draws me to my kitchen.
This week, I shared one of my seasonal favorites, homemade pumpkin puree.
Fall is the peak of pumpkin season and those cute little balls of orange goodness are meant for so much more than just a decoration by our front doors. Pumpkins are meant as any other fruit or veggie, when in season, to be prepared, preserved, baked, and devoured.
Move aside expensive canned pumpkin puree these real foodies just don't need you anymore.
With pints upon pints of homemade pumpkin puree lining the shelves of my freezer, I'm on a mission to make all things pumpkin. Pumpkin pie is always a classic, but there is only so much same ol' pie this gal can eat. Thanks to some wonderful fellow food bloggers I have gathered together ten of my favorite recipes calling for homemade pumpkin puree plus a few ideas for all those yummy seeds.
Let's fire up the oven, chill the ice cream maker, and turn on the coffee machine, because it's pumpkin time!
First, you will need some homemade pumpkin puree. Don't worry, it's super easy to make and can be prepared in three very simple steps.

Ratings & Reviews
Australian star Paul Hogan just couldn't seem to come up with a hit comparable to his 1986 international hit Crocodile Dundee. Hogan's Almost an Angel was a nice try, but no cigar. The star plays a lifelong thief who suffers a potentially fatal accident. While "in limbo", Hogan is visited by God (amusingly played by Charlton Heston-well, why not Charlton Heston?). When he recovers, Hogan is convinced that he'd been returned to the land of the living in order to do God's work. He turns over a new leaf, coming to the assistance of wheelchair-bound Elias Koteas and his pretty sister Linda Kozlowski (the real-life Mrs. Hogan). At first suspicious of Hogan, Kozlowski is finally won over by his new-found sincerity. So lightweight that it threatens to float away at any moment, Almost an Angel is held together exclusively by Paul Hogan's star appeal. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to insure a box-office success. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A/N - This is admittedly OOC for Brennan - but you knew that going in. I'm still not really comfortable writing from her POV, so any tips or things I could do to improve for next time would be much appreciated.
Again, not betaed. All mistakes are mine. Thank you to Gemlily5 for pointing out my typo in the last chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones.
Unexpected - Part II
We sit at my dining room table eating dinner. I crunch on the crisp leaves of a salad in a tart Asian dressing I brought back from my last trip and sip a glass of Chilean red. I watch as he slices into his steak.
Reaching across the table, I take a fry from his plate. I've done it many times, but this time it's to get his attention. "Everything okay there, Bones?" he asks as he drinks from the beer at his right hand.
"I'm the scientist," I say quietly as I toy with the edge of my napkin.
He looks down at his plate. I wonder what he's thinking as he absently pushes a piece of meat around with his fork. "Uh-huh," he mumbles.
"We're happy, aren't we?" I try to keep my voice light. He knows me better than I know myself and I wonder if he senses I'm nervous.
His eyes meet mine and he takes a deep breath. "I like to think so," he tells me with a smile. He sets the fork down and takes another sip of his drink.
I slide my chair back and go to him. I wait for him to push away from the table and sit in his lap. I wrap arms around his neck and sighs when he places his around my waist.
He looks into my eyes and reaches up to tuck a lock of hair behind my ear. Unable to resist the gravitational pull of each others lips, we meet in a sweet kiss.
I'll never get over how tender his touch is. I've seen him make kills and be rough with suspects, the alpha in him dominating at so many things. But then I've also seen him holding Jack and Angela's son and I imagine what he must have been like when Parker was a baby. It makes me ache with the desire to give him another child. One he can be with all the time and watch grow. I find I'm now sickened by the thought that I could have deprived him of that - that I could have done it without him.
I pull back. Looking into the depths of his brown eyes, I search for the right words. I silently curse myself and wish that I had his heart. That, like him, I knew exactly what to say. "You've given me a decade of empirical evidence," I state plainly. "I haven't made things easy for you. I've fought against you when I should have been fighting for you - for us."
"Bones, Baby..." It's so incredibly Booth - attempting to comfort me even when I know I'm making him anxious.
I shake my head. "No, Booth," I say to him. "I have to get this out."
His hands stroke up my back, his fingertips burning my skin through my light-weight blouse. "You know you can tell me anything," he says in almost a whisper.
"It's not what I have to tell you," I explain. "It's what I want - no, need - to ask you."
"You know I'll do anything for you, Baby," he replies.
I smile. He would. I know that. That may be the one fact I can't claim I had a steep learning curve in figuring out. "I just never thought I would get here," I say. "That I would feel this way."
"I know what you mean." He smiles broadly and runs the roughened tips of his fingers along my jaw.
"I love you," I say as I lean into his touch.
"I know you do," he say softly. "And I love you."
I know what he's said to me - that just being with me is enough - but I know him. Perhaps not as well as he knows me, but I know him. I know he wouldn't be completely happy with just that. I know it's my turn to take the jump of faith. To be the one to take the chance. "Marry me?" There. I said it. And it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Booth shakes his head. He's surprised. "Come again?"
"Marry me." I feel bold - this time it's a statement rather than a question.
"But I thought you didn't..." he stammers.
I should have expected this reaction after years of telling him what I thought about the institution. I do the only thing I can think of - I start explaining. "While I do believe that marriage is an antiquated ritual, I find that there are benefits to such a union as well. More importantly, I know that it's important to you and..."
"I know you won't..." I continue wanting him to know what I've figured out. What I've learned about him. About us.
"Leave - oof..."
He pulls me against his chest and his mouth takes control of mine. Kissing has become his way of shutting me up or ending arguments. I let him think he's pulling the fur over my eyes, but the truth is I love it. I could never get tired of feeling his lips against mine. My tongue touches his and my fingers tug at his hair.
His forehead rests against mine when we come up for air and for moment he just holds me. "Wait here," he says leaving me at the table.
When he comes back, he drops to a knee in front of me. I can't stop my eyes from widening. "Just indulge me, okay?" he asks.
I nod, feeling moisture flood my eyes. How could I say no? Years from now when we're telling our children this story, I will remind him that I asked him first. The box opens with a creak. I gasp when I see it. It's simple and perfect. My eyes flutter to his.
"This ring," he says as he pulls it from the casing, "belonged to my grandmother. Pops said..."
I take his hand and catch the tear that slides over his cheek. I want to comfort him the way he has comforted me so many times. I know I still have a lot to learn, but some day we'll get there. Someday I will learn how to be all of the things he is to me for him.
