Don't you think shutter noise is too much considering the other aspects of the camera and the terget users? Some times 'red' tends to bleed in vivid mode. focus braket indication doesn't move on top LCD in single focus mode. Else this one is a gem!
I WISH i had money to buy this dream cam...someone in FLICKR has taken bird's photo which is my desktop background...the picture is amazing with even the faint hairthin cobweb is visible clearly.seeing is believeling...DIFFICULT to better nikon d300 in picture quality.
Hi Cliff
I have been considering going from my K20D to the Nikon D300, particularly due to the faster AF locking and it seems the D300 has a slightly better noise control than the K20. Another aspect about the K20D that is really bad is the shutter release noise which is absolutely horrendous. I know the K7 is much softer and has a few more features that are better than the K20 but the AF systems basically it seems is not as good and fast as the Nikon D300.
But what I was wondering reading your review and the image at ISO 100 is why still the shake on the image even though you used mirror lock up and a tripod.
I have been also in split mind between the D300 and the D700 for its FF feature, been debating on this for days now so if anyone has any advice or recommendations please let me know, I will be much appreciated.

SAN DIEGO -- A double and a double play stood out on a day when Jake Peavy was lights out again.
The Padres' ace held the Brewers to two hits in seven scoreless innings and hit an RBI double off Jeff Suppan to lead San Diego to a 3-0 win Sunday and a three-game sweep of the NL Central-leading Brewers.
"I did take a nice deep breath after I got lucky and ran into that ball and we scored a few extra runs," said Peavy (7-1), whose hit came in the two-run sixth. "It's always nice to sweep somebody.
"I tell you, probably the biggest play was that double, simply because it gave us some breathing room," said Peavy, who allowed only three baserunners in seven innings while lowering his major league-leading ERA to 1.47. "The Brewers are a good team. I know they're scuffling right now. Suppan kept his team right there all day."
Still, Peavy was the last guy the Brewers wanted to be facing as they lost their fifth straight and for the 12th time in 16 games.
"He didn't throw many center cuts, as we like to call it," said Tony Gwynn Jr., who went 0-for-3 against Peavy but singled off closer Trevor Hoffman, who was a teammate of Hall of Famer-elect Tony Gwynn. "If he caught the plate, he was splitting black. He was either just off the corner or he was on the corner."
Adrian Gonzalez had another big game for the two-time defending NL West champion Padres, who earned their first sweep this season and won for the 10th time in 13 games. Gonzalez hit a solo homer and started a 3-4-6 double play in the sixth that came with the Padres leading 1-0.
The Padres lauded Gonzalez's aggressiveness. After Craig Counsell reached on a leadoff flare single to right, Suppan bunted. Gonzalez fielded it and threw to shortstop Geoff Blum for the force at second before Blum threw to second baseman Marcus Giles covering first.
"Let's crash it and get the double play," Peavy told Gonzalez before the bunt.
"Obviously that was a huge play in the game and it took the wind out of their sails," Giles said.
"It's a bunt and you've got to take a chance," Gonzalez said. "If he's safe at second we're probably going to get the guy at first anyway, so it's worth it. All you've got to do is not throw it into center field. Most of the time I'm going to take that chance."
Said manager Bud Black: "He likes to make plays. He's like a left-handed shortstop playing first base."
Peavy, who turns 26 on Thursday, struck out eight and walked one. He tied Atlanta's John Smoltz and Philadelphia's Cole Hamels for the NL lead in victories. It was the third time he allowed two or fewer hits while pitching seven innings.
It was the fifth start this year in which the right-hander didn't allow an earned run. He's allowed only three earned runs in his last 34 innings over five starts, and hasn't surrendered a homer in his last seven starts. The Brewers came into the day tied with Cincinnati for the NL lead with 65 homers.
Two of the three baserunners allowed by Peavy were erased by double plays.
"You have to scratch and claw for whatever you get," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "You know you're not going to get much."
After leading the majors with a 2.27 ERA in 2004 and the NL with 216 strikeouts in 2005, Peavy struggled last year due to shoulder tendinitis and a lack of run support, finishing 11-14 with a 4.09 ERA.
"If we can score two runs, four runs, we have a real good chance of winning," Gonzalez said. "Last year, he was pitching the same he is right now, except we weren't getting him runs and he would give up late runs because he was probably putting pressure on himself to keep throwing zeros out there."
It was the first time the Brewers were swept this season. Milwaukee, which opened the season at 24-10, lost its fifth straight game and was defeated for the 12th time in 16 games.
Heath Bell and Hoffman finished up the combined three-hitter, with Hoffman picking up his 15th save in 17 chances and extending his career record to 497.
Suppan (6-5) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings, walked six and struck out three.
Gonzalez homered to right leading off the fourth to break a scoreless tie. It was his team-leading 12th.
The Padres added two runs in the sixth. Blum doubled off Gwynn's glove in the right-center gap with one out and scored on Peavy's two-out double to left. Peavy scored on Giles' single to center.
The Padres remained tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West.
"This is about the type of ball that we expect to play as a team," Peavy said. "We're not going to come out and blow anybody away, for the most part. We've got to scratch and claw for everything we can get. We're scoring enough runs to win; we've got to ride these streaks out when we're pitching well."
- Padres SS Khalil Greene, hitting just .217, sat for the second straight game.
- The Brewers finished this West Coast trip at 1-5.
- Hoffman has converted 11 straight save chances.

Gianna Messina's Blog From Cancun
By USF
Related Links
University of South Florida freshman guard, and Tampa native, Gianna Messina will give fans a taste of Cancun and the 2008 Caribbean Classic through her eyes. Today is the first of Messina's blogs that will be posted on www.GoUSFBulls.com during the Bulls' stay at the Moon Palace Resort and Convention Center.
Monday, December 17, 2008
Our first full day in Cancun was very enjoyable.
We woke up and had breakfast, buffet style. We had practice around 10 a.m. Everyone was very energized and ready to take care of business. We went over some things to prepare for our game tomorrow night vs. Oregon, and received some exciting news!
The coaches had planned a trip to the spa!
So, practice lasted for about an hour-and-a-half, and then we all went back to our rooms, changed, and headed to the spa. We were able to experience full treatment.
It was definitely something we all needed! After our spa experience, some of us went by the beach or pool, ate lunch, and began to get ready for dinner. We had dinner at the team banquet with all eight teams participating in the Carribean Challenge this week. It was very nice.
After dinner, there was some entertainment with a mexican culture dance performance and, also, a Michael Jackson impersonator, who was very good. By the time this had all finished, everyone was tired and went back to their rooms to get a good night's sleep for the game tomorrow!!
Until we talk again,
Go Bulls!!

Ordinances & Manuals
Please visit the Town's Unified Development Ordinance Page for our updated Ordinances and Manuals.
Storm Drainage System Inventory Map
Please click the map to view the Town's storm drainage system inventory map.
The purpose of the post-construction stormwater management program is to manage stormwater runoff from new development/redevelopment that drains to the MS4 and disturbs an acre or more of land area for single family projects (1/2 ac. for others), including projects less than an acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale. The program also is required to provide a mechanism to ensure long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs and that controls are in place to minimize water quality impacts.
The Town adopted and approved a post-construction stormwater management ordinance, included in the Engineering Design and Construction Manual. The Town enforces and implements the requirements of the ordinance for post-construction stormwater management and only allows the use of stormwater quality BMPs designed in accordance with the NCDEQ Stormwater Design Manual. Additionally, the Town requires annual operation and maintenance (O&M) reports for each BMP and is implementing long term O&M by legal documentation and maintenance security funds.
Structural Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
Stormwater O&M Agreements
Prior to the conveyance or transfer of any lot or building site or issuance of any development permit for a development to be served by a structural BMP required by the Design and Construction Ordinance, developers are required to execute and record operation and maintenance agreements to ensure that owners maintain and operate the BMP facility to preserve and continue its function for which it was originally designed. Operation and maintenance agreements require BMP owners to properly maintain, repair and, if necessary, reconstruct the BMP and provide a schedule for the maintenance frequency for the facility. Operation and maintenance agreements must be recorded with the Wake County register of Deeds upon final plat approval and recorded copies must be submitted to the Town within fourteen days following recordation. Town of Morrisville structural stormwater BMP operation and maintenance agreement documents are provided below:
Disconnected Impervious Surfaces
Dry Extended Detention Basin
Filter Strip, Restored Riparian Buffer and Level Spreader
Grassed Swale
Infiltration Basin
Infiltration Trench
Permeable Pavement
Rainwater Harvesting
Rooftop Runoff Management
Sand Filter
Stormwater Wetland
Underground Detention System
Wet Detention Basin
The Town now performs annual inspections of all BMPs as a service provided under the Town's stormwater utility fee (more information). If an owner chooses to also do their own, complete reports must include the forms and information below. The Town of Morrisville National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Phase II (NPDES Phase II)
Stormwater Permit requires that structural BMPs be inspected annually
to preserve and continue their function in controlling stormwater runoff
quality and quantity at the degree or amount of function for which the
structural BMP was designed. Additionally, stormwater BMPs must be periodically
inspected per the frequency specified in the recorded operation and
maintenance agreement for the facilities.
All annual inspection reports should be mailed or emailed to the following location:

PICS? Bestop Tire Carrier
32 Attachment(s)
do you have piics of a bestop tire carrier with a 35" tire on it?
i need to know if the license plate can still be seen with than tire carrier.
we have our license plates in the middle of the rear bumper.
I think a 35" tire will cover the top of the plate a bit. Are you able to move the plate at all?
BTW I'm going out to take those pics for you. :D
**DAMNIT! My mom still has my camera. She forgot to leave it when she left today. :mad: Sorry, maybe tomorrow.
32 Attachment(s)
the plate can´t be covered. that´s forbidden. and i don´t know where i should install the plate instead.
Just mount it to the center of the spare tire if it can be moved. That will also keep it kind of centered.
32 Attachment(s)
it must not be centered. th ecops must be able to see them from the right and the left. that´s why we don´t have it where you have it. the spare tire would be in the way.
is the spare tire on th evbestop carrier on the same height than the stock spare tire?
then it should fit. that´s my 28" spare tire.
Hmm... I'm not too sure. You might have better luck with pictures over on that other Jeep-Forum.
Is that a typo? Look at quadratec.com, iirc, they have a few brackets that will allow you to mount your plate in the center of your spare. Do you have to have a light on your plate there?
32 Attachment(s)
yes i need a light on the plate.

Allright it's a 90 Devill 4.5L. (68,000) NO CODES
In the summer theres no problem.
In the winter (45F and below). When cold in the morning, (if) it fires up it runs outstanding. But if it doesn't start right away I have to put the gas
pedel to the floor (clear flood) to get it to start.(some times)
Also, if it doesen't I have to pull the plugs because there soaked with gas.
Or let it set (if it is hot,wait 1 hour) if it cranked alot, over night and still may need to pull the plugs.
If I pull the fuel pump fuse and let it run out of fuel (put the fuse back in) and it will start back up.
Anyhoo I was thinking the Coolant temp sensor....
Any thoughts....:hmm:
Ogh before anyone starts: new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, coil, module, hall efect sensor (had a running problem, fixed if I can get it started:bonkers:)
Fuel 43 psi, the pressure creaps down on shut down. To 30ish pounds in 3-4

Okay one more post and I'll get back to work, I promise!
I'm considering a 9mm conversion barrel for my XD40 Service(s). I want an extended barrel that will protrude from the slide. There is no ballistic reason, but rather I want to idiot proof it from myself so I can go "Duh the conversion barrel is in there..." when it doesn't fit into my holster, etc. I don't want to CCW it that way.
I've found this...
It sounds good but a lot of things sound good. At the price I'm reasonably sure I'm not automatically buying a piece of junk (a good barrel probably should cost that much).
This is for no serious use. Honestly. The worst I might do with it is try to shoot a course or a class with it just to save a little bit on ammunition costs. Although I wish someone made 33 round magazines for the XD like they do for the Glock. That'd just be too much.

Do These Things Before Summer Starts
Summer-ize your life before it gets too hot…
The electronic cigarette industry is prepping for summer by responding to the FDA's recent proposed regulations – but you don't have to worry about that right now… What you should be worrying about (or at least thinking about) is getting yourself ready for summertime. Even if your plans include nothing more than relaxing by the pool, puffing on an electronic cigarette, you should still take some time to prep your schedule, body and home for the upcoming season…
1. Change your workout routine. Your body gets used to the same exercises; switch it up to kick your muscles into high gear and pump up your physique before bathing suit season gets here.
2. Register for athletic events. If you're a runner or obstacle course fanatic, sign up for those races now. Read this article to learn about some of the most popular obstacle races.
3. Trim your trees and clean up your yard. When the summer storms attack, you won't have as much debris to pick up once the skies become clear again. Get your neighbors to do the same and avoid having their branches become your problem. If your neighbors are worth it, give them a few V2® Disposable ecigarettes as a thank you.
4. Inspect your AC unit. After being second to the heater for so many months, your AC could use some TLC. Replace the filter and have the vents and ducts cleaned out (or do it yourself). If you need a repair man, get a recommendation from a friend for a reliable AC service – otherwise, you could end up paying more than you bargained for. And there's nothing cool about that.
5. Plan beyond your summer getaways and schedule other trips through the rest of the year; when summer's over, you won't be scrambling to request time off. And you'll be able to ration your vacation days, so you're not stuck at work while your friends take that spontaneous 3-day cruise in December.
6. Help a friend switch to e-cigs. When it gets hot, going outside and getting sweaty, just to burn a cigarette, kind of sucks. Get your friends ecigarettes from V2 and help them avoid the heat. There's nothing better than the simple pleasure of lounging with your closest friends, enjoying an electronic cigarette…
Prepare your house, body and schedule for the summer months and you'll be ready to greet the summer months; pull out your electric cigarette, kick back and relax.
How do you get ready for summertime?

University Destination Survey Results Highlight National and International Placements of AKU-EB Alumni
October 2, 2012
"AKU-EB developed a habit of conceptual learning in me…"
"Marking is very fair. Paper pattern covers the whole syllabus … and no cheating!"
"SLOs were the best … my English listening is greatly improved … "
"AKU-EB developed a habit of conceptual learning in me…"
"Marking is very fair. Paper pattern covers the whole syllabus … and no cheating!"
"SLOs were the best … my English listening is greatly improved … "
Above are just few of the comments made by the third HSSC cohort alumni while sharing their experience with AKU-EB. Conceptual learning, fair e-Marking, and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) stood at the top among several unique strengths of AKU-EB identified by a group of 749 alumni across Pakistan who we were able to reach during the University Destination Survey 2011-2012.
So, many many thanks to all alumni who participated so enthusiastically in this year's Survey.
Talking to alumni, and in some cases to the parents, was a true pleasure. They were very open and articulate when sharing their overall experience with AKU-EB. Conducted via telephone and emails, the Survey provided a deeper and broader picture of the impact of AKU-EB's mission of helping to improve the quality of education, and attested the vastly growing recognition of the Certificate both nationally and internationally.
The main objective of the Survey was to keep in touch with AKU-EB's alumni and find out how they are doing in their educational pursuits. According to the Survey report, 76% of the group of 749 alumni who we were able to interview have obtained admissions to universities of their choice across Pakistan and abroad. The rest are those that AKU-EB couldn't reach. The highlight of this year's Survey was admissions to universities internationally. The Survey identified a 183 per cent increase in international placements – almost three times higher than 2010. Some of these institutions are highly renowned for their academic excellence.
"I was overwhelmed with joy when I learned about my acceptance to Mt. Holyoke with a 92 per cent scholarship of $46,000 annually for four years! Another highlight was that I received a full scholarship to attend the Millennium Campus Conference at Harvard University. I am one of the only 61 Pakistani Student Ambassadors to USA and also a Presidential Students Service awardee by the President of United States. Thanks to AKU-EB," said Komal Ali - Studying International Relations at Mt. Holyoke College Massachusetts, USA.
"I would suggest the system to all schools and colleges in Pakistan to eliminate corruption. E-marking is very fair. I really liked the paper pattern as it covers the whole syllabus which improved the way I study and now enables me to compete well with my fellow students at Dow Medical College. I am glad I am free of rote learning because I was really bad at it. I am glad I studied with AKU-EB for full four years," said Ali Shah Feroze – Studying at Dow Medical College (DMC)
Just like every year, we gained another opportunity to learn from the alumni first-hand about how AKU-EB has been serving them.
"These are reassuring results, not only for us but for everyone: students, parents and schools. Next year, we expect to have even better outcomes. Our hard work to help our candidates improve on their learning habits and excel in competition for admissions in the universities worldwide is paying off. It is deeply satisfying," commented Karima Kara, Associate Director, AKU-EB.
The whole team of AKU-EB feels encouraged to know that the majority of alumni expressed an extremely favorable overall opinion about how the quality of their learning experience with AKU-EB has equipped them for higher level education.

There's been quite a bit of chatter recently on Pete's Boxster board regarding failures of the Intermediate Shaft assembly (bearing/bolt failure) which usually takes the engine out when it fails. More often than not, the 2000-2004 models cars are mentioned, both the 2.7l and 3.2l models are affected.
Does anyone one know if the this assembly was redesigned when the 987 model was released?

Grow Up
Zoobies sounds a whole lot like Boobies, but that's where the similarity ends.
I guess if we were marketing these plush toy/pillow/fleece blanket combos to 13-year-old boys, Boobies would be a better name. But we're not. So we'll just stick with the name Zoobies to describe these cute and cuddly creatures.
OK, I know what you're thinking. If you're talking about cute and cuddly "creatures," the word Boobies still kinda works. But seriously. Let's just be a little more mature about this, shall we?
Let me ask you this. Would you describe Boobies as "super-soft" and "comfy pillows" you can rest your head on? Of course not. And would you ever claim that Boobies offer the "ultimate in squishability"? I didn't think so.
So to recap, we're just going to keep calling these adorable bedtime buddies Zoobies because it just makes more sense. Agreed? Agreed.

We're happy — no, ecstatic — to announce that GWT 1.5 is now officially released and available for download.
GWT 1.5 delivers what we think are an impressive number of improvements, about four hundred issues if you're counting. We're also happy that one of those is issue 168, our most-requested feature,
Support for Java 5.
We've blogged about several of the new features already. Now that it's official, let's recap and expand the list a bit...
Java 5 language support and enhanced JRE emulation
You can now use Java generics to add clarity and type safety to your client-side Java source.
Generics also greatly simplify the definition of GWT RPC services — no more
- Simplify your code with for-each loops, autoboxing, static imports, and enum types.
- Subsystems such as RPC, image bundles, internationalization, and benchmarking now use proper annotations. To maximize code re-use, the GWT compiler also ignores unrecognized annotations, such as those required by JPA, that typically appear on types shared between the client and server.
New JRE emulation classes have been added including
LinkedHashMap, and other popular utility classes.
Assertions are now optionally supported in web mode.
If you invoke the GWT compiler using the
assertstatements in your code will be retained in the compiled JavaScript. This can be helpful during QA cycles.
Performance optimizations and easier JavaScript interop
The GWT compiler has gotten smarter. It now does comprehensive method inlining,
which can eliminate signficant overhead due to function calls.
Developers using GWT 1.5 release candidate builds have reported speedups of up to 2x,
especially in performance-sensitive areas of their code.
We've even heard from end users that apps compiled with GWT 1.5
just feel faster.Admittedly,
feels fasterisn't a quantifiable benchmark, but we sure like the sound of it.
The venerable
Treewidget has gotten much faster in GWT 1.5. In tests, we've measured huge improvements across the board, including 5x and 10x speedups on IE7 and IE6, respectively.
- With new JavaScript overlay types, you can seamlessly and efficiently integrate with objects originating in handwritten JavaScript. Overlay types also provide a particularly elegant new way to interact with JSON data from GWT.
- The new Linker subsystem gives you total control over your code's packaging and bootstrap behavior so that you can deploy GWT output into any context where JavaScript is relevant (think Gadgets, Firefox extensions, Greasemonkey scripts and Gears worker threads). If it sounds complicated, don't worry: most GWT users can simply re-use the built-in linkers. But it's nice to know you can create your own if you need to. See Bob Vawter's Google I/O talk on Linkers for the theory, and Ray Cromwell's GWT Extreme! talk for some enlightening real-world examples.
Prettier widgets, better DOM, accessibility, and bi-di
- The original KitchenSink sample has been retired in favor of a new sample called Showcase. In addition to demonstrating a wide variety of GWT features — widgets, themes, animation, history, accessibility, internationalization and bi-di to name a few — Showcase helps developers understand how code and CSS fit together by providing the source for each showcased feature.
- Experienced GWT developers know and like the fact that widgets rely almost exclusively on CSS for styling. However, prior to GWT 1.5, GWT projects did not include a stylesheet by default, giving developers new to GWT the unfortunate impression that GWT widgets were inherently ugly. With this release, we're introducing three nice-looking default CSS themes you can use as a starting point for your own designs.
Not only are the standard GWT widgets prettier in this release, they're more functional.
The major widgets such as
MenuBar, and
TabPanelnow support ARIA for enhanced accessibility. In addition, widgets now support bi-directionality so that UI works properly for right-to-left languages. (You can see all this in action in the Showcase sample.)
Those are some highlights. The (new) GWT Developer's Guide has a more detailed explanation of GWT 1.5 changes, including notes about a few breaking changes you'll want to be aware of.
For further information or for help getting started with GWT, you may find the follow links helpful:
- If you're new to GWT, the Getting Started Guide takes you through a very quick example of installing and using GWT.
- There's a new in-depth GWT tutorial that guides you through the process of building and enhancing an application from scratch.
- If you're particularly curious, you can also browse the entire 1.5 issue list.
We really hope that you'll find that GWT 1.5 helps you build the most sophisticated web apps you can envision. And when you build the next big thing, please share your success stories in the GWT developer forum.

LEINSTER, IRELAND – Ireland boss Joe Schmidt has revealed that fly-half Johnny Sexton suffered a whiplash injury to his neck and shoulder in Ireland's 10-9 Six Nations defeat against France.
Sexton appeared dazed as he left the Stade de France field after several questionable hits on Saturday, raising fears that he had sustained another concussion.
The 30-year-old was stood down for 12 weeks in late 2014 owing to four concussions inside 12 months, and has had several further head-injury concerns since.
But Schmidt has moved to downplay any concussion fears.
"Johnny Sexton, with his neck and shoulder, it's more of a whiplash injury," Schmidt said on Monday.
"He is certainly feeling a lot better, 48 hours post-game."

Diggy Simmons Releases New Mixtape With DJ Premier
Diggy Simmons inked his first deal with Atlantic Records in March, after his freestyle over Nas' 'Made You Look' went viral and perked up some ears in the industry. On Thursday (Dec. 23), the 15-year-old rapper dropped his latest mixtape, 'Past Presents Future,' which is hosted by DJ Premier.
"The title is a play on words, specifically in the 'presents' part," Diggy explained to Billboard. "It's not just presents as in gifts, but also presents as in introduction. On this tape I'm covering '80s and '90s classics, there are scratches on there and it's hosted by none other than DJ Premier." The first track to leak from the new mixtape is 'Shook Ones,' a freestyle over Mobb Deep's single of the same name. Diggy revealed that it was the first song that he and DJ Premier collaborated on, before they eventually linked up to work on the entire 13-track project.
According to Diggy, the mixtape focuses on the progressive lyrical content of '80s and '90s rap. "I'm bringing back substance," he said. "A lot of people don't have lyrical content or substance or a message even they're trying to get out." Additional samples on 'Past Presents Future' will include A Tribe Called Quest's 'Electric Relaxation,' and Nas' 'Nas Is Like.' Take a listen to the full mixtape here and check out the video fro 'Shook Ones' below.

Twins and Friendship
Thorpe, Karen J. (2003) Twins and Friendship. Twin Research and Human Genetics, 6(6), pp. 532-535.
A growing body of literature asserts the importance of friendships for a child's emotional wellbeing, behavioural adjustment and developmental attainment. However, few studies have examined friendships in the twin situation. This paper examines the literature on friendships among children who are twins and asks two questions: (1) What are the implications of the twin situation for friendship formation? (2) How can the twin situation inform theoretical knowledge concerning friendship formation in the general population? The discussion examines the implications of the twin situation for the size and nature of twin children's friendship pool and questions whether children who are twins are more likely to be adaptive or maladaptive in their social behaviour. The paper argues for the need to study the process and mechanisms in friendship formation among twin children because the findings might inform not only studies of friendship but also behavioural genetic research.

How to Handle an Auto Accident
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
How to Handle an Auto Accident
When you are involved in an auto accident, there are many things you should do to ensure that your rights are fully protected. It is essential to preserve as much evidence as possible following an accident in case you want to file a personal injury claim against the other driver or drivers involved. There are also essential steps that must be taken to strengthen your insurance claim.
The period following an auto accident can be a blur, but here are some important things to remember and consider:
- Drivers: Be sure to find out who were all the drivers involved in the accident. Make sure they have driver's licenses and write down their names, addresses, telephone numbers, and driver's license numbers. Also look to see if any of the drivers were intoxicated in any way. If you believe someone was, write down who and why you think so.
- Passengers: Find out if there were any passengers in any of the vehicles involved in the accident. If there are any, get their names and addresses.
- Pedestrians and Witnesses: Be sure to get the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any pedestrians involved in the accident as well as any pedestrians who were witnesses to the accident.
Information about the Accident Itself
There is a lot of information about the accident itself that you should record. Some of the things you should record (and document if possible with photos) include:
- Where the accident took place
- When the accident took place
- The weather conditions at the time of the accident
- The directions the cars involved in the accident were heading
- How the accident occurred
Other Information You Should Find Out
There is a lot of information you can and should gather if you are involved in an auto accident. While it may be hard to get all this information, it can be very helpful in dealing with your auto insurance claim and being prepared for a possible lawsuit. Other important information about the accident includes:
- Were there any injuries? Was medical assistance provided and if so what? Did anyone say they were not injured and if so who?
- Was there anything wrong with any of the cars before the accident (e.g., broken tail lights, flat tire, dents)?
- Were any of the vehicles damages and if so how?
- Who were all of the drivers involved in the accident insured? Get the names of their insurance companies and policy numbers.
- Were any of the vehicles involved in the accident towed?
- Did anyone say anything that indicated they were at fault, either partially or fully? Record who said what.
- Did the police come to the scene of the accident? Were any tickets issued? Get the names and badge numbers of the officers.
Get the Necessary Medical Services Required
If the car accident that you were involved in resulted in some type of injury, make sure to get the medical care that is required. Even if you do not think you have been hurt right after the injury, injuries could reoccur days after the accident after your body has had time to recover from the adrenaline and stress caused by the accident.
Contact Your Insurance Carrier
After any car accident, it is essential that you contact your car insurance carrier and give them notice about the accident. Insurance companies require drivers to give them notice of any car accident that they are involved in because it is the best way to start filing any car accident claim against a defendant.
The insurance company will:
- Write down all the specifics and details you provided and will send you a formal letter documenting the claim that you filed.
- Inspect your vehicle and the damages that occurred as a result of the accident.
- Give you an estimate for the cost of repairing the vehicle's damage.
- Examine all the medical records that are relevant to your claim.
Should I Contact a Lawyer?
If you or someone you know has been involved in an auto accident you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced auto accident lawyer can inform you of your rights and what remedies are available to you. A lawyer can also assist you in dealing with your auto insurance company or represent you if you are sued.

You Are Not Alone...
Everyone Agrees - Solar Has Never Looked So Smart!
Quiz Time - What The Heck Is The Item Below?
|a) A Solar Charger For Your Mobile Phone
|b) A Solar FM Radio
|c) A Solar Charged Flashlight
|e) All Of The Above
So, What's Your Answer? Got It?
If you Answered "All Of The Above", You're RIGHT!
Better Check This Out - You're About To Fall In LOVE!
This fantastic little device makes the sun your NEW BEST FRIEND!
This little solar wonder does it all - flashlight, cell phone charger, and FM radio. And it's all powered with internal batteries that recharge with the sun!
Just set this little guy out to sunbathe for the afternoon and before you know it, it's fully charged and ready to save the day.
Think of it as a solar powered super hero.
First, and most important, it's a cell phone charger. You can either use the the USB charging cable that came with your phone OR just charge with one of the included plugs (they cover pretty much every type of "charge-via-USB" device on the planet)!
BAM - You're covered!
The brilliant thing is that it isn't strictly solar either - you can charge the internal batteries so even if it's dark you can still charge your phone. Great for those times you're stuck on a dark road with a bunch of crazy psychos (imagined or otherwise) after you - and your cell phone is dead!
It can literally save your life!
Plus, it can power up pretty much ANY device that charges via USB - so if you have an, umm, "emergency" involving a dead MP3 player, digital camera, or even iPad, this can save the day.
Next, it's a flashlight. I know, I know, a solar powered flashlight is almost a joke - until you realize that the sun charges the batteries during the day so you can use it at night. Great for camping, boating, your glove box, or even a zombie apocalypse.
Finally, it's also an FM radio, so you can get up to the minute news, weather, or dial in the tunes and dance on a picnic table. Your call.
Again, this is powered by the sun and then internal batteries when it gets dark.
And super-easy to use too - we've even had our tech support manager put together some easy to follow instructions that we'll send ya!
In all seriousness, think about how crucial this can be in an emergency. You can use it to charge your cell phone when the power's out, have a flashlight at your disposal, plus get the latest news.
From a natural disaster to just a camping trip, this baby saves the day! Grab one for each of your cars and one for home too!
It's a handful of solar goodness!
It's solar-ific!
It's the solar sensation of the decade!
Your price? Just $24.97 and US shipping is FREE! How cool is that? Grab 'em before they're gone:
PS - Look, at this price you can't go wrong, and hey, if you don't like it just return within 60 days for a refund. Nothin' to lose - do like I did and get yourself some of these!

Illustrator and designer Lisel Ashlock had the very unique opportunity working with Tracey Stewart, Rachel Filler and the team at Artisan Books conceptualizing, designing, and building this book from the ground up.
Working extremely close with the team at Artisan and author Tracey Stewart, this was truly a labor of love and an absolute dream for an illustrator.
"The more we know about the animals in our world and the better we care for them, the better our lives will be. Former veterinary technician and animal advocate Tracey Stewart understands this better than most—and she's on a mission to change how we interact with animals. Through hundreds of charming illustrations, a few homemade projects, and her humorous, knowledgeable voice, Stewart provides insight into the secret lives of animals and the kindest ways to live with and alongside them." Lisel Ashlock
Painting on birch panel, drawing with pencil and watercolor or working digitally, each of Lisel's projects is executed with a sensitivity and celebration of the natural world. When she's not busy on an illustration project, Lisel can be found designing, photographing, styling, hand-crafting and creative directing for Moomah the Magazine.
More details of the book to come as the release date of October 6th, 2015 gets closer.

Luxembourg opens art freeport to lure super-rich
By Philip Blenkinsop
LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Private banking hub Luxembourg sought to lure more wealthy investors on Wednesday by opening a high-security center designed to look like a jewel box, where collectors can store and trade valuables without paying customs or sales tax.
Studded with stones and surrounded by walls and barbed wire, the Luxembourg Freeport has four bullion chambers guarded with 50cm-thick metal doors, and four other chilled rooms designed to hold 700,000 bottles of fine wine, said staff.
Officials there said it was the latest in a small but growing number of similar centers across the world tapping into interest in high-value objects - furniture, paintings and other treasures - from high-end investors.
"The 2008 crisis created a real demand for physical assets. People realized banks could go down and take their money with them. That meant demand for the likes of gold, but also art," said Tony Reynard, chairman of another freeport in Singapore whose main owner is also the principal investor in Luxembourg.
The super-rich can fly in their objects, view them and trade them inside the freeport's walls without incurring customs or sales tax - charges as high as 27 percent in parts of Eastern Europe.
The collectibles get that status because they are technically in transit. In Luxembourg, the center's back doors open onto the main airport. The objects only become liable when they leave that bubble and enter Luxembourg or another country. Continued...

Book Review April 2007
Reviewed by Janelle Gordon
The days of conducting business exclusively in one state or country are long gone for most major corporations. Today, many American companies not only have offices in New York City and Los Angeles, but also in London, Mexico City and Hong Kong. Technology has placed Americans just seconds away from people halfway around the world, resulting in an Information Age of global players.
Best-selling author, educator and businessman Stedman Graham re-cently published Diversity: Leaders Not Labels—A New Plan for the 21st Century in response to the new demands of this global business world. He writes: "In the past, the business world's focus has only been on people who could help it improve the bottom line and increase sales. But the type of person who will succeed in this new work environment is one who can also transcend race and build relationships—someone with a spirit of cooperation who is tolerant of others."
In Diversity: Leaders Not Labels, Graham shows readers how to break out of the box that keeps them from growing to their full potential. The box refers to the external labels like race and ethnicity that many allow to block the pathway to success. Even though his beliefs are not new, they are worth exploring, as many people still remain in boxes. The book is divided into three sections: Diversity in the Twenty-first Century, Programs from the Past and Transformation.
In Section One, Graham focuses on labels in the general sense, the importance of "unlearning" the mistreatment associated with them and escaping from the life boxes created by them. He encourages readers to add to the mosaic, taking pride in their heritage. Those who achieve success in the 21st century, Graham says, will be self-respecting people who "don't apologize for who they are … people who will continue to grow and develop and who will bring value to themselves and those they represent."
In Section Two, Programs from the Past, Graham devotes seven chapters to studying diversity. He explores different cultures and their histories to help readers understand that everyone has had challenges. Each chapter includes a discussion about labels, the challenges faced by the ethnic groups and leadership success stories. The goal is to show that while the labels and challenges may differ, the mere fact that we all have them makes us the same. By showcasing in the success stories individuals who have transcended labels to become leaders, Graham encourages readers to develop their own success itinerary, based on the talents and skill they bring to the work force. Hard work, sacrifice, talent, and self-motivation are the tools needed for the future.
Graham uses the last section to focus on the transformation. We do not have to become members of anyone else's culture to play a key role, he says. Rather, we must maintain and assert our own identities while respecting those of others. "What is most important is breaking through labels and understanding who you are," writes Graham. "Realize that everyone brings uniqueness, talents and skills that add value to our experiences. …. When you operate from this perspective, you will emerge in the 21st century as a true leader to yourself, to others and to society."
Diversity: Leaders Not Labels ends with nine steps to transform and thrive. First, moving from a life defined by labels involves checking personal identity: readers should discover and embrace their strengths and interests. Second, readers must create a vision based on their identity. Vision is your ability to look beyond your current circumstances and see the possibilities. Third, develop a travel plan, which includes fact-finding, mentoring and planning day-to-day functions. Fourth, master the rules of the road. The rules are guiding principles like honesty and hard work that characterize the travel plans.
Fifth, step into the outer limits. This challenging step focuses on overcoming fear to recreate a world based on possibilities and resources. Sixth, pilot the seasons. Stick to your core as changes occur. Seventh, build a dream team of people who will relate to what you do and to your core and vision. Eighth, win by decision. Make choices based on who you are, where you want to go and how you want to get there. Finally, ninth commit to your vision. The transformation is not a quick fix, but a lifestyle change.
Stedman Graham's latest book is a good choice for someone who wants to excel in business and his or her personal life. While the transformation is focused on career advancement, the lessons taught can easily apply to other aspects of life.

I had my smartlipo procedure done on Thursday, Aug 28th at 7:00am. Let me tell you, I was scared to death. My first mistake was watching a video on utube so that was all that I could think about when I got there. First I put on a gown, they measured me, took pictures and drew the guidelines on me. Then I got two shots. One was to relax me and I guess it really worked because the next thing I remember is them walking me to the bathroom, then walking me to the or room. I layed down, they covered me from head to toe and left only my belly showing. Ever so often they would ask if I was ok and I was. They were doing something that felt like a meat grinder rolling up and down my belly but there was no pain.....The next thing I knew was my husband waking me up at home, in my own bed. Honestly the only thing that hurt were the two shots before hand. The procedure, I slept through it. I sure thought I would be awake for the whole thing but I wasn't. Actually, my husband said I was talking but it wasn't making much sense so maybe I was awake, who knows. Awake or not, I don't remember and I didn't feel any pain so I am a happy camper. Now at home, I am sore but it's like having cuts or sunburn. The worst is the ozzing and the smell. I couldn't wait to get that thing off.
So here I am at day 3: I've removed the garment, taken a shower, put hydro peroxide on all my incisions, 6 to be exact. I thought I was only having 4 but got 6. 2 under my breast, 2 on hips, 2 on upper buttocks and 2 on lower back. I guess the last two were for the flanks. I feel great. I was able to take the garment off myself but I did it really slow and was sitting at the time. I've also put Neosporin on the incisions. Once my garment has air dryed, I will put it back on.
So far so good. I'll continue to update as I progress.

Southampton has become renowned in football for its academy. Down the years the club's name has become almost synonymous with developing young talent.
It started off with players being recruited and brought through at local levels and stepped up a notch when Lawrie McMenemy introduced a much broader scouting network for talented youngsters that ultimately produced Matt Le Tissier, the Wallace brothers, Alan Shearer and many more.
After a slight slackening off Saints came again with heavy investment in the new academy structures under Rupert Lowe, which produced a fistful of stars who have gone on to ply their trade at the top level, with another generation now pushing for a first team place at St Mary's.
Nigel Adkins has stated that he would like to see 50 per cent of his future Saints side made up of homegrown talent, and he believes he has an exceptional group of 17-year-olds from which that might ultimately be achieved.
But of course clubs don't just magically conjure up promising 17-yearolds.
Producing young players is a long and expensive process with physical and emotional highs and lows along the way.
Saints' former academy director, Huw Jennings, is a modest individual but must take much of the credit for the stars on the fringes of the squad now, as well as those who have been through the system in recent years.
He admitted a frisson of pride as he watched Swansea take on Arsenal at the weekend and saw academy products Nathan Dyer and Theo Walcott on the score sheet, Alex Oxlade- Chamberlain come off the bench, as well as noting Leon Best scoring for Newcastle and the likes of Martin Cranie and Simon Gillett plying their trade in the Championship.
Now a new generation of standard bearers is pushing forward – James Ward-Prowse, Luke Shaw, Sam Hoskins, and plenty more besides.
Most were recruited around the age of eight in the 2001-06 period that Jennings – who went on to work for the Premier League and is now academy director at Premier League club Fulham – was at St Mary's, and, though coaching has obviously brought them on, it's quite a legacy that era has left the club.
"It was a terrific statement from Nigel and nobody would be happier than me to see that group come through and establish themselves together," said Jennings, who believes recruitment was one of the key factors in the success story.
"Malcolm Elias is one of the best in the business and I have now got him here at Fulham with me. We've worked together three times now and he has recruited so many fantastic young players.
"It's all about getting a team in place as well though and at Saints we had Phil Spreadbury who found Luke Shaw and Rod Ruddick who was vital in the recruitment of Nathan Dyer, Gareth Bale, Martin Cranie, and the centre in Bath was very helpful.
"The level of investment meant we could beat many of our rivals.
"Reading have come up on the rails and have done very well recently but perhaps before that we were able to exploit the M3 corridor and a number of boys came from east Hampshire so you might have expected Portsmouth to have signed them."
Of the current young stars, some were from the area and others from further afield, but the staffing structure Jennings put in place ensured their character was right.
"I remember I was going to a reserve team game, Fulham against Saints, and there was a young boy queuing to get in," recalled Jennings.
"It was none other than Luke Shaw who we'd already signed.
"I wound my window down and asked what he was doing and he said he was queuing up with his local team to be ball assistants for the game and that said a lot about him and the scouting network because Luke was not from the Southampton area.
"To be able to reach up to get a boy of eight-years-old from further afield was fantastic and we did that very well indeed."
Looking back a generation to the stars of today – Walcott, Bale and co – Jennings actually believes that relegation to the Championship gave them a great opportunity.
"Arguably one of the things that benefited them was relegation because it allowed them a chance to establish themselves.
"Would Walcott and Bale have come through in the Premier League at such an early phase? The Championship gave them that.
"The dilemma with the current group will be if they get promoted because in order to stay at that level many clubs feel they need to supplement their existing group with experience.
"That is the potential challenge they face.
"Young players can come in and hit the ground running but others sometimes have to wait to establish themselves another year or two."
Saints have continued strong investment in their academy since the club was purchased by Markus Liebherr and Jennings gives plenty of credit to academy manager Matt Crocker and the current academy workers.
"A lot of praise should go to Matt Crocker and his team of staff," insisted Jennings.
"I was involved in his appointment and he inherited a very difficult situation and it's important that he is given credit for holding a firm hand on the tiller during difficult times and without that a lot of those boys might have been lost."
Saints have got their young players to a very fine stage once again, but as Jennings knows only too well, that next step is often the hardest to take.
"If Southampton go on and win the FA Youth Cup then you are looking at the players being the best at under-18 level," he said.
"But then you are into open age football and if you want to have say five in your first team then that means you have to have five of them better than the rest of the players at your club at any age level, which probably goes up to about 35.
"It is an advantage to look at a group though because they can drive each other on because of the standards they set themselves and if you've got the right balance of players – if you've got five good strikers they can't all play – and an opportunity you can match that with a bit of luck in terms of injuries.
"The other thing is then maturity – some will have reached maturity, some won't until 19, 20 or perhaps even 21.
"But to see these young lads and the generation before them doing so well does give you a warm feeling inside and a sense of pride."

Inka Essenhigh
oil on canvas
198. x 177 cm
Inka Essenhigh paints Subway as a commuters' opera. Her smooth surface and seamless paint replicates the sublime precision of urban life. Essenhigh's corporate toned environment becomes a stage on which her strange and distorted figures conjoin in symphonic movement, leaving plastic trails in their haste as they swoon through the scene. Turning everyday banality into surreal case study, Essenhigh gives humorous portrayal of people at their rush hour worst. Drawing stylistic reference from both graphic novels and golden age animation, caricatured city-types gain comically heroic status, rendering a humble slice of America as grand theatrical drama.

crests with sculptural solidity. Essenhigh deviates from the flat designs and enamel application of her early work. Using oil paint she infuses her scene with manufactured vivacity: this heroic depiction of nature is rendered with the aesthetics of computer animation. Like Hokusai's woodcut print, Essenhigh uses the stillness of stylised formations to contemplate the drama of a raging seascape. Flaunting their artificiality, the turquoise waves seduce with a certain menace, their razor sharp peaks extending with decorative threat.

178 x 193cm
"I think about [my paintings] as being about America: fake, fun, pop, violent, but also quite attractive," Inka Essenhigh explains. In Essenhigh's most recent work, images from suburbia convolute into grotesque dreamscapes; her pastoral scenes of normality belie their true nature as instances of alien horror. In
, Essenhigh readily captures the greed of a chav-land mall with cartoonist's exaggeration: shell-suited blonds undulate with flirtatious curvature, arms cum tentacles slither for bargain goods. In distorting the scene, Essenhigh draws humorous caricature as well as a heightened sense of plasticity; the women resemble figurines in a themed setting, mannequins illustrating their own insincerity.

2004, oil and enamel on canvas
183 x 188cm
Inka Essenhigh translates the subtle qualities of drawing into luxurious paintings. Resonating with exquisite draughtsmanship,
is reminiscent of the design purity of the art deco era. Painting in oil and enamel, Essenhigh uses the cool gloss effect of her media to create a sense of hyper-artificiality: her flat surface possesses a richness of synthetic colour, deceptive in illusion of depth and luminosity. Influenced by 19th century caricatures, oriental art, and contemporary comics, Essenhigh's paintings are both exotic and operatic: envisioning futuristic mythologies frozen in sublime moments of suspended animation.
Inka Essenhigh
2002, oil on canvas
183 x 203cm
Inka Essenhigh's paintings redefine pop as the epitome of aesthetic hierarchy. Her ultra-slick surfaces operate as virtual fields, where estranged narratives play out in cross-wired systems of reference and recognition. In WWF, Essenhigh draws from romanticised emblems of decadence: the classicism of Greek frescos or the empyreal motifs of Asian lacquer-ware are resembled with futuristic technophilia, made more dynamic in the fantasy realm of cartoon. The god-like figures contort in a stylised motif of aestheticised violence and sexuality. Essenhigh's highly structured formalism eschews emotional intimacy; line, space, and colour are used to create stunning tension, a baroque beauty that is majestically antiseptic.

Pup Tent

Pup Tent
, Inka Essenhigh shifts to a more realistic style with poetic sensitivity, translating her graphic designs into a softly rendered 3D world. Her mythological scene unfolds with the compositional order of her earlier enamel paintings: compacted configurations, affiliated by trailing ephemera, engulfed by a swooping mass of flowing motion. In this new painterly language, Essenhigh gives real tangibility to form: her figure comes to life with porcelain-like delicacy, and the fabric flows with defined texture rather than calligraphied patterns. Trading her factitious palette for gothic monochrome, Essenhigh capitalises on the richness and depth of the medium to create a painting that is elegant and haunting.
Inka Essenhigh
2001, oil on canvas
267 x 220cm
is a celebration of sinuous, elegant, energetic drawing. Focusing on mythical horses, Essenhigh delights in the curving, twisting lines of their flowing manes and muscular bodies. Like many of the figures in her recent paintings, they seem on the point of bursting out of the image, momentarily stilled in a quivering evocation of throbbing energy and life.

Euro Moves Below 1.23, Euro-zone Faces Myriad of Challanges
We opened this week with the Euro continued its slide, falling below the 1.23 level in overnight trading, though recovering above that level in a correction, and then extending its decline as stocks in the US fell, with the Dow Jones Index down triple digits. Today's low for the Euro was a 4-year low.
Concerns over contagion of the Euro-zone debt crisis continue to hurt investor sentiment, and even if the Euro-zone Stabilization Package is able to lower the fear of solvency and default risk, the sharp austerity measures that debt-strapped countries will have to undertake will weaken growth prospects in the single currency zone.
While Euro-zone policy makers are saying the depreciation of the Euro is not a problem, the sharp pace of the fall is cause for concern.
Other factors to consider for the Euro-zone this week:
1. On May 19th, Greece has a deadline to pay back €8.5 billion in bond repayments. Greece paying back this debt should help soothe some concerns, but the impact may be limited.
2. The ECB's bond purchase program; the ECB bought 16.5 billion in securities as of last Friday and to sterilize this intervention the ECB will have a tender on Tuesday to drain the liquidity pumped into the system.
3. Concerns over growth prospects and sharp cutbacks in government budgets could weaken wages and prices, with a threat of a debt-deflation spiral, especially in the PIIGS countries.
4. Could the events of the last month, and the increase in uncertainty in credit markets, short circuit the global recovery?
These questions will not be answered overnight or over the next week. The potential for a credit crunch event was prior to the Stabilization Package announced by the EU as the size of the package should stave off any liquidity concerns. Still the implications of the events of the past few weeks will reverberate for some time with increased volatility in the currency markets.

Law Forces Photographers to Work Same-Sex Weddings
Thank goodness our semi-free market provides so much choice. A decision by the Supreme Court on April 7 forcing photographers to work at same-sex weddings, reminds us why freedom requires virtuous behavior.
Though preacher Fred Phelps died, his Westboro Baptist church lives on with protests that shout hateful and frightening words about gays.
Suppose two vitriolic Westboro parishioners plan a wedding at their church. They try to contract with a gay photographer who doesn't want the job.
Some might think freedom of association, as long upheld by court interpretations of the Constitution, would protect the photographer in declining to spend a day earning money from people with values that offend him. Furthermore, rejection of the contract could be seen as expression protected by the First Amendment. Even more, the gay photographer may have religious convictions that prevent him from doing business with a church that openly hates. The First Amendment [auth] expressly defends his right to exercise religion, which may include avoidance of transactions with people who hate.
Forcing a gay photographer to work at a Westboro wedding seems cruel. But that's the type of scenario we could see as a result of the Supreme Court's decision Monday to decline a complicated religious liberties case.
The New Mexico Supreme Court determined government gets to force two wedding photographers to photograph same-sex weddings. The photographers, Elaine and Jonathan Huguenin, said they "gladly serve gays and lesbians" in nonmarriage settings. But they felt same-sex wedding photography would "require them to create expression conveying messages that conflict with their religious beliefs."
It's the crux of a bigger dilemma. Our culture wants to ensure fair access to goods and services without merchants and providers discriminating on a basis of race, religion, nationality, color, creed, gender or sexual orientation — and other traits specified in local and state laws. Simultaneously, we want to protect people from alliances they'd rather avoid for the exercise or expression of deeply held convictions.
Whether one shares or respects the values of the Huguenins, it's easy to see their gripe. They don't want to create images that may promote activity that violates their fundamental Christian belief. If they were Muslims or Sikhs, their objection to same-sex marriage might be even less forgiving.
But the New Mexico court said the Huguenins had no choice about working at a same-sex wedding. They must show up and work or they'll violate the state's civil rights act. On the surface, it sounds like a move toward acceptance and tolerance. In practice, it's not that simple. By forcing associations that challenge philosophical convictions, the courts give business owners two choices: 1. Relinquish free expression, free exercise of religion and freedom of association while doing business; or 2. Stop doing business and find some other way to survive.
Judges despise these conflicts because allocation of rights is messy business. Unlike wealth, rights are not created by limitless human endeavors. As such, defense of one person's liberty often comes at the expense of another's. That may explain why the Supreme Court declined to hear this case.
Freedom works best when individuals act with respect and restraint. Consumers should not shop for conflict when blessed with abundant choices of merchants and service providers in a vast, semi-free market. Likewise, business owners should try to honor any consumer who walks through the door willing to pay. The road to moral and economic bankruptcy is paved with intolerance and bigotry.
When people behave with dignity and honor — with respect for one another — fewer conflicts must be resolved at the courthouse.
