Mesothelioma lawsuits constitute the largest single tort in the history of the nation. There have been more lawsuits filed over asbestos personal harms, asbestos product liability and asbestos wrongful deaths than in any other category or class of civil litigation. The numbers that are thrown around are staggering, and all seem to be estimates: 800,000 suits filed, 100-plus companies bankrupted, $200-plus billion in claims paid out. The only facts that are clear in asbestos litigation are that it is still going on because people are still developing malignant mesothelioma. And there are still more than enough lawyers to go around. How then, to select representation that works for you?
Types of Mesothelioma
Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma Treatment Options
What Makes A Good Lawyer?
The simple answer to this question is experience. But what experience is crucial? There are several areas where knowledge of the mesothelioma legal landscape is critical; if for no other reason than plaintiffs who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma do not have a lot of time remaining to them to pursue litigation or any other earthly goal.
- A mesothelioma attorney must be familiar with the state laws where his client resides as well as the current trends in the selection of state courts for these cases. Some jurisdictions have developed reputations for being pro-defendant or pro-business. Others have become known for being sympathetic to people who are ill with an asbestos related disease.
- Recently, virtually all mesothelioma cases that are not filed in federal court have been filed in California or Illinois. It takes a knowledgeable attorney to understand the reasons for these tactics and an attorney who has the licensing to practice in the most advantageous court.
- Many mesothelioma cases are filed in federal court today; there are some districts that are more popular than others for mesothelioma cases in federal jurisprudence as well. Many districts have designated a judge to manage the asbestos case docket alone. Your mesothelioma & asbestos lawyer needs to be able to decide if a federal jurisdiction is favorable in your case, and if so which one; moreover, that attorney must be licensed to practice before the federal bench as well.
- Case law is constantly changing the rules that make for a successful mesothelioma compensation claim. Medical proof requirements have tightened in several jurisdictions due to fraud on the part of some unscrupulous attorneys and doctors. The evidence in your case must match up with the requirements of the jurisdiction where it is being filed.
- A mesothelioma attorney must be familiar with the trust funds that have been established by major corporations who have used this mechanism to settle asbestos liabilities as a step in emerging from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. There have been several settlements in the last three years, resulting in new trust funds to be added to the list. Filing a claim with a trust fund is a different procedure than filing a lawsuit; your attorney should know which is the better choice based on possible returns and the health condition of his client.
What Does A Good Lawyer Cost?
Most attorneys in this field work on a contingency basis. A potential attorney will conduct a thorough interview and inspection of medical records prior to taking on a case; there should be no charge for this consultation. Most mesothelioma clients are older, with limited resources. Attorneys in the field are accustomed to being paid with a portion of the settlement that they obtain through the trial process or through managing claims with the asbestos trust funds. That percentage is usually a fixed rate, possibly subject to the amount of work involved in preparing the case. Like all fee for service arrangements, it should be subject to discussion if not negotiation. In any case there should be no charge to you prior to obtaining a mesothelioma settlement.
Financial Compensation for Asbestos Victims
A personal injury civil suit covers compensation for a wide range of impacts that injury or disease may have. A defendant found guilty of causing harm – such as asbestos exposure leading to illness – may be held responsible for medical costs up to the date of the court decision and settlement, and for estimated future medical costs as well. In some asbestos cases defendants have been held responsible for illness that may develop in the future.
Lost wages are compensated for under the rules of personal injury or product liability. If you are unable ever to work again, compensation for future losses are figured in as well. There can be compensation for physical and emotional pain, for loss of physical or social functionality, and for loss of the ability to maintain a spousal relationship. There are formulas for pain and suffering compensation, but often it depends on the empathy of the jury as well. Finally, the responsible defendant is required to pay your legal costs.
Mesothelioma Statute of Limitations
There are most certainly deadlines involved in the filing of any personal injury or product liability suit. There are statutes of limitation in every state for mesothelioma lawsuits, usually amounting to two or three years from the point that the harm has occurred. Because of the extraordinary latency period for mesothelioma cancer, the concept for "discovery" of the harm has essentially been ruled to mean the date of diagnosis. That concept has come to various court jurisdictions with varying rapidity and in some cases there have been exceptions. Once again, it is a matter of working in a jurisdiction where a statute of limitations won't be strictly interpreted to favor the corporate defendant, and the medical meaning of "diagnosis" won't be subject to challenge.
As with personal injury actions there are statutes of limitation for wrongful death suits, ranging from one to five years or more. A family who has lost someone to an asbestos disease has a limited period of time to file a wrongful death suit seeking compensation for the loss of a loved one. In some cases where a statute has run in the state where the plaintiff resides, the attorney will file the action in another state – the state where the asbestos exposure occurred, for example – if the statute of limitations has not run on such a filing. Sometimes this tactic works and sometimes not; what is important is that your mesothelioma attorney be aware of the options.
There are also deadlines for federal court actions and for filing claims with many of the asbestos trusts. An experienced mesothelioma attorney should have thorough knowledge of all of these benchmarks.
Mesothelioma Attorneys, Good Resources
Mesothelioma is a rare and lethal disease but like all diseases, progress is being made in and research. Many mesothelioma attorneys are familiar with the medical advances, with the more successful treatment regimens and with the personnel who have become known for their work in the field. Recent developments such as the Anderson Center at the University of Texas or the recent developments at Brigham and Women's, a Boston medical center affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
There are sixty four cancer centers in the U.S. recognized by the National Cancer Institute for their dedication to cancer research and treatment that have become centers for federally funded research as well. The health of a client is as important to a mesothelioma attorney as it is to the client's doctor. The best attorneys in the field know where the thoracic surgeons, the radiotherapy experts and the best cancer clinics are to be found.

Samsung is showing off three new accessories for the Galaxy Core Advance phone that could make life much easier for the visually impaired. The emergence of texting and messaging apps has already made a huge difference for the deaf community, allowing the hearing-impaired to communicate freely withe the hearing and each other without the need for any special equipment.
These devices promise to help visually impaired and blind smartphone users.
The Ultrasonic Cover allows users to make their way in unfamiliar surroundings. It sends a vibration when something or someone is in the the path of the user. The user holds up the cover and it will alert him or her to objects as far away as six feet.
The device is compact and doesn't look much different than an ordinary phone case.
The second accessory is the Optical Scan Stand. The phone fits right into the stand and when the phone's camera is focused on printed material, the phone will automatically read the text aloud to the user.
It will automatically start working when sensors detect paper in the stand. So, it's easy for the visually impaired to use without any assistance.
The Voice Label helps users distinguish objects and even make notes and voice tags to help identify object and could even be used to record brief instructions on how to use something.
The phone also features a light-sensing app, instant voice recorder and a voice guided camera. The accessories are sold separately from the phone.

Customer Satisfaction Is More Than Tracking Numbers
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on May 3, 2010
- 587 Recommendations
- 2 comments
For a track session at Forrester's Marketing Forum at the end of April, I dived into the topic of customer satisfaction. For market researchers looking to set up a customer satisfaction (CSAT) study, much guidance is available. However, it also became clear to me why, despite all this advice, many customer satisfaction projects fail.
Most of the information I found -- or the conversations I had, for that matter -- were around the 'science' part of CSAT studies: the methodology and set-up. There are many discussions online about questions like which scale to use, which questions to ask (or not), whether a company should focus on relational versus transactional measurement, or if it's better to conduct a customized CSAT project or use an established method like Net Promoter.
However, in my conversations with market researchers, I found that the success of CSAT projects isn't based as much on science -- although a sound and repeatable set-up doesn't hurt -- as much as it is on 'art.' The art lies in understanding the company's business issues; translating these into a well-structured questionnaire; finding the drivers for success; and later, when the results are in, presenting the results in an actionable format.
Any customer satisfaction project that focuses on numbers misses out on the 'art' element of CSAT. Of course, using a standardized methodology helps the company benchmark itself against its competitors. But what does it mean when 80% of your clients are satisfied? The organization will look at this number and want to drive it up, without any understanding of what the impact on the bottom line will be when the percentage of satisfied customers increases from 80% to 82%.
So what happens when art is applied to CSAT? It creates influence and change. When the customer satisfaction study measures what really matters -- to both the organization and its customers -- it helps identify problems and opportunities. One of the speakers at our conference summarized it as follows: "Customer satisfaction guides me to action. We've embedded CSAT surveys in a broad framework of analytics gathering. We use listening software to understand what's being said about the brand; we have Web analytics in place to see how people use our site and what they're looking for; we do page ratings to evaluate at the page level; we ask for feedback on our content; and, quarterly, we ask our customers how satisfied they are with us and with our services. All this information helps us understand where we do well and where we could do better. This information is channeled back into the organization, with recommendations on possible improvements and what they can expect when they implement any changes." The result: The CSAT results are directly reported to the executive team, with suggestions for improvement.
I would love to hear how customer satisfaction studies work in your organization. Do you feel your company is too focused on the numbers? And what would happen if you introduced a little 'art' to your customer feedback program?

Action is the only purpose of knowledge
Comment from Gregory Yankelovich (not verified) on Tue, 06/01/2010 - 14:49
I could not agree with you more. Too often CSAT studies are used for self-assurance and not for improvement and to get respect is focused on HOW instead of WHY. Great opportunities for profitability improvements are missed or ignored because we didn't think of asking a question. There are technologies now that can extract customer satisfaction without surveys and without asking questions - all you have to do is to find where your customers are talking about your products or services, and really listen why they do or don't love their experience with it. Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. -Plutarch
CSAT and social market research
Comment from Reineke Reitsma on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 06:23
Hello Gregory,
thanks for the comment. As mentioned in my post, I definitely believe that listening software or other social market research methodologies can play a role in CSAT studies, however I also think it's too early to completely rely on it. See also a post from Tamara Barber on this topic: Trends And Challenges In Social Market Research http://blogs.forrester.com/tamara_barber/10-05-11-trends_and_challenges_...
Love to hear your view on how these different methodologies should play together ideally. Best regards, Reineke

Sorry about the lateness here, some computer problems played into that. Still even a couple months past, this is a series I won't be forgetting about any time soon.
Final Words:
It was definitely interesting to see the manga that I've been enjoying get turned into an anime. One thing that was constantly apparent was the rush that the creators were in. They wanted to reach the first real breaking point in the story in 12 episodes and so it was time to cut and make that happen. This is a manga that releases in monthly installments so each chapter is pretty significant. If they stretched things the material covered in the anime could have turned into a 24 episode series. Instead they aimed for 12 (maybe to just test and see how receptive people were to the content) and so things had to be hurried along. Some characters were just not shown since they weren't critical enough to the plot at this point. If there is a second season they could be re-introduced with a bit of effort and things would be alright. Still if there is a sequel one thing I really hope for is that they give it the amount of time that's required. Too much can be lost when trying to cram into a short series.
One thing lost was just Ganta's development as a character. Since they had to hit the highlights more than show every single moment that couldn't be helped. But it did make Ganta look like a weaker character who's moods could really just fly all over the place. Regardless we are talking about a seriously traumatized kid here. Having his class massacred was bad, getting framed for murder was also bad, and then ending up in a place where if you lose a fight you die or get organs removed is just adding horrible on top of it. To have moments of weakness and snapping in anger at times really isn't too shocking. Really it's more amazing that Ganta can even keep himself together this much. The other Deadmen we've seen have been there longer and have adapted to their situation, some of them were even more suited to that kind of lifestyle than others.
Really the series had some good characters. Shiro has some real mystery about her and is clearly critical to the story. Her past with Ganta wasn't exactly a normal childhood that's for sure. The insane power she showed off early in the series and that laugh can let people speculate in a few directions. I'd rather not jump into it since people can come up with what they want.
You also had a cool character in Senji who stays in a friend/mentor position for Ganta even after losing his eye in that penalty game. Minatsuki is one of the more memorable female characters I've seen in a while. She had that trick of the pure and innocent girl which was just shattered during her fight with Ganta. But she's not really all bad either. Her childhood was completely destroyed and the kind of person she became was affected by that. Still she helped Ganta out and really when she was saved from the worst case scenario in that penalty game I couldn't help being happy for her. There are definitely worse people in that prison than her by a mile.
If this series can be remembered for anything it's shocking and slightly disturbing moments. Senji getting his eye gouged out topped my creepy moment of the series. Of course there was other things like that crazy dog race that Ganta took part in and of course the security robot that actually melted someone with acid. Owl's fight was also pretty creepy with parts of his flesh getting sliced off, but the eye gouging still leaves me wincing. This is a series that will creep a few people out if they aren't ready for it.
Overall it wasn't a bad show. I'd have liked it if they took more time and episodes to show the material, but it was still good. I really hope they do give us a sequel since there is plenty of material left.

Cooperation with potential: For race cars such as the Audi R8 LMS ultra another field of activities is opening up in Asia in 2013. The successful Audi customer sport car can also be fielded in the Asian Le Mans Series in the next season, based on a cooperation agreement between the ACO as the organizer of the Asian LMS and the promoter of the Asian Super GT Series that was announced on Monday. In the GT-300 class of the Super GT, four Audi R8 LMS cars are already on the grid in this season.

People believe what they see, and they're willing to punish each other for it — apparently even when what they're seeing is a fake video that doesn't jibe with real-life experience.
Psychologists have long known that our memories of past events can be influenced by misleading information, but now they've proven that doctored video evidence can convince people to offer false eyewitness testimony. In a study of 60 college students performing a computerized gambling task, nearly half were willing to testify that they saw their partner cheat in real life after watching fabricated video evidence. Of students who were told that video evidence existed but didn't watch the footage themselves, only 10 percent gave false testimony.
"Our participants were willing to sign a statement to say that they witnessed another person cheating in an experiment, when in fact, that person never cheated," psychologist Kimberley Wade of the University of Warwick wrote in an e-mail. "So we now know that digitally altered footage can change people's perceptions of an event, and have serious consequences for how people behave." Wade and her team published their findings this month in Applied Cognitive Psychology.
Most eyewitness studies have been carried out in a setting where there were no consequences for reporting that a person had cheated, but in this study, participants were told that their partner would be disciplined for cheating if they signed the testimony.
In the study, each student was paired with a member of the research team disguised as another participant. The pair sat side-by-side and played a computerized gambling game, which involved betting fake money based on the likelihood of answering a multiple choice question correctly. Each person was in charge of keeping track of their own wins; when a subject correctly answered a question, they got to take money from a shared "bank," and when they incorrectly answered a question, they had to put money back. Participants were told that at the end of the game, the person who made the most money would win a prize.
After the gambling concluded, the researchers used Final Cut Pro to alter a video recording of the game and make it look like the partner had cheated. Five to seven hours after the first task, students were called back to the lab and told that their absent partner was suspected of cheating. One-third of the students were also told that the researchers had video evidence of the cheating, and another one-third got to watch the doctored video themselves.
Before asking participants to sign an eyewitness testimony, the researchers emphasized that no one should testify unless they were 100 percent sure they had seen their partner cheat, and they emphasized that the cheater would be punished. Students who watched the fake video were far more likely to give false testimony than students who heard about the video or were simply told that their partner was suspected of cheating.
When asked to describe what they had seen, some participants even invented memories. "One subject told us that the other person had acted suspiciously and taken money from the bank when there was clearly a cross on the screen," Wade wrote. "So we are confident that a significant portion of people who saw the fake video genuinely believed—or even falsely remembered—that they had witnessed the cheating."
The scientists offered several possible explanations for why video had such a strong effect on memory. "First, people still view photos and videos as reliable records of the past," psychology graduate student Robert Nash wrote in an e-mail. "Around 75 percent of the people who participate in our research know something about photo or video editing software, yet many of the people in this study were convinced by our edited footage."
In addition, watching a person cheat on video makes the cheating incident feel familiar, and when an event feels familiar, it's often confused for something that was really witnessed. "So our participants may have misremembered seeing our confederate cheat," Nash wrote, "because when they were asked about the cheating incident they may have thought, 'Well, now that you mention it, that sounds kind of familiar to me, so perhaps I did see that happen.'" Upon debriefing, participants in the study expressed complete surprise that the video had been fake and that their memory was false.
"I believe these results, definitely," said memory expert Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California, Irvine, who was not involved in the research. "The whole body of work with doctored photos and videos is kind of scary; it is very visual and it is powerful evidence. And now we know it can contaminate the memory and make someone accuse another person of doing something wrong."
In an era of easily manipulated photo and video evidence, the researchers say their findings have major implications for law enforcement officials and policy-makers, adding yet more evidence that eyewitness testimony cannot always be accepted as fact.
"We need to remember that witnesses' memories should be treated like fingerprints, DNA, and other physical evidence — with a lot of care," wrote Wade. "If we don't treat them with care, then we run the risk of contamination."

Caring for your leather keeps it supple and looking good.
Leather Honey is the answer!
The original Leather Honey formula was developed by our family in 1968. Our time-tested brand has millions of satisfied customers.
We are completely amazed at how well the Leather Honey works. We just inherited a Lane aniline leather sofa and love seat from a family member. They were in great condition except for the unsightly faded leather. We were blown away at the results, the leather was faded so badly I honestly thought there was no way to restore this without professional help. It's amazing! We are beyond pleased and more than satisfied.

I am a big supporter of small family businesses, and this just confirms my choice! I went to several other sites and discussion groups, but what made me choose Leather Honey was the extensive list of testimonials and "before" and "after" pictures. I have a huge amount of leather goods, ranging from sneakers to purses to dance club outfits. Not only did Leather Honey restore the luster and flexibility of my older leather pieces, it also made my new pieces softer and more comfortable to wear. Thank for this amazing product; you can be sure that I'm telling all my friends!

Since 1968, master leather craftsmen and individuals alike have been relying on Leather Honey, the premium leather conditioner, to condition used leather and protect new leather. Uniquely formulated to penetrate deep into the pores of the leather, Leather Honey Leather Conditioner is designed to bring out the best in your favorite leather – from classic equestrian items to furniture, automobiles, shoes, apparel, wallets and more. And we do it without the use of any animal products, silicone, toxins, solvents, or other harmful chemicals.
Our long-lasting formula means one application lasts six months or longer — other less-effective products require application once a month. Leather Honey penetrates deep into the leather, hydrating the individual fibers from the inside out. Other products merely sit on the surface, creating a superficial conditioned appearance that requires frequent applications.
Don't just take our word for it — Leather Honey is the #1 best-selling leather care product on Amazon.com, with over 2600 five-star reviews.
Sold by the same family that invented the product over 45 years ago, both Leather Honey Leather Conditioner and our Leather Honey Leather Cleaner are proudly Made in the USA.
Leather Honey's Leather Conditioner is the #1 best-selling leather care product on Amazon, three years running.
Our leather conditioner works on all types of leather (except suede), new and old.
Our products are manufactured and hand-bottled in the US.
Leather Honey was invented in 1968, almost 50 years ago.
Leather Honey is non-toxic, non-solvent, not sticky, has no odor and does not contain silicone.
Leather Honey is still produced by the family that invented the formula almost 50 years ago.
Leather is always in contact with our skin – we wear it, sit on it, and even sleep on it. Adding toxins to your leather care products puts you at risk for developing irritations or sickness – and that's something we're just not willing to do.
Our leather conditioner is an original family recipe, developed in 1968. Almost 50 years later, the same formula continues to be sold by our family today, and it features only the highest-quality, premium ingredients. Call us old-fashioned, but we think that's the right way to do it…and we're never changing our ways.
We've helped thousands of people condition, protect and re-energize their leather items…and we can help you too.
For almost 50 years there's been a consistent, strong following for our product in the leather-dependent equestrian community, and over time Leather Honey's reputation has organically spread into more mainstream leather markets.
Leather Honey soaks into leather's pores, hydrating the individual fibers of the leather and providing a water-repellent barrier that prolongs its life. It adds moisture and flexibility to both dry, cracking leather and stiff new leather – effectively softening and improving its look and feel.
Purchase a bottle of Leather Honey today, and see the difference that our all-natural leather conditioner can make for your leather items.

Coming to lively Sevilla and looking for the perfect place? You're in luck, this apartment in Triana is a wonderful choice. Between the cosy rooms and great location, this is clearly the place you're searching for!
This apartment is composed by three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a WC. The rooms are comfy and two of them have access to balconies, the living room is nice as well and the kitchen finely equipped. The flat is located next to the river and it provides you really nice views. Close to it, you have the Universidad de Sevilla!
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Hiya, (This is going to be quite long but for some of you this is your first GB so I am going to explain it all very thoroughly)
I am very happy to announce and excellant Group Buy with Ultimate Pedals on their really cool line of produts for the CTS-V.
Basically you can buy any product for the cts-v and ultimatepedals has agreed to give a whopping 35% off. These pedals are high quality and guarenteed.....Other forum members really enjoy the product.
Now down to the nitty gritty. Having the V emblem engraved is an extra $10...Having the Cadillac Emblem is an extra $15. They can also engrave initials or custom emblems etc etc. The pedals will have the 35% discount, all engraving will not.
The engravings should look like the images attached (Remember this is a mock up not the real product) NO COLOR IN THE ENGRAVING, it is just an engraving
The group buy is active of now, and the last day for ordering is January 15th (I know this is late but I try to give everyone two pay days in order to get in on it....also if someone owes you a christmas present its a great oppurtunity for them to get in on it)
The items will be shipped January 20th-21st. (All pieces have to be custom made and depending on how many orders it may be the 21st but we are shooting for the 20th.)
Shipping charges will be their normal prices......
So now that all that stuff is done, How do I get my Discount?
Preferably, if you have a pretty straight forward order, please use their website. Their V Line can be ordered here
Specify your vehicle, the Cadillacowners group buy, as well as any engraving options during the checkout process when you are asked to indicate year, make, and model.
If you don't mention the Cadillacowners group buy you'll get your pedals quickly, but not discounted.
Also, with the website you wont see the discount automatically, and you will get a confirmation email pretty quickly. That email will not have the discount applied to it, DONT FREAK OUT....You are not charged until the items are shipped, and the set up of the system cannot compute a discount, it has to be manually accounted for. So when the items are ready to be shipped, you will get a second email. This email should have the proper discounted price, at this point you card will be charged the discounted price.
You can also call them, please try to use their website unless you really hate internet shopping or you have a custom order or a bunch of questions, it takes up a lot of manpower to answer questions by phone, and even the most straightforward order can take 5-10 minutes over the telephone, and that is time people could be using for a better purpose.
I should point out ultimatepedals.com is not a GM product, but hey neither is cadillacforums, so its all good.
Just Click here to order
Sorry for the very lengthy instructions, but I hate when there is not enough info.
Also PLEASE POST WHEN YOU HAVE MADE AN ORDER, AND JUST SAY HOW MANY PIECES YOU ORDERED (1, 4, ETC ETC) I KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THAT INFO ESPECIALLY TO ORGANIZE FUTURE GB's

Take uncertainty in stride by making quick decisions, testing your ideas and brainstorming often with your team. Don't complain about senior management's flip-flops or failure to anticipate competitors' moves. Instead, help your troops appreciate the speed at which your industry is moving.
When surprises derail your plans, integrate the latest developments into your activities. Shift gears without fretting or assuming the worst. Treat the unknown as a positive to alleviate the team's fears.
If you're grappling with fuzzy problems with no clear solution, embrace a range of outcomes. Set an example for your employees by making decisions based on today's facts, while acknowledging that you may need to re-evaluate on a moment's notice due to sudden changes.
"I thrive in an atmosphere of ambiguity," says Don Montanaro, president of SureTrade Inc., an online trading firm. "With Internet technology, you don't have the luxury of moving slowly. So you have to take risks in a hurry."

Love failed the first time. Will a second chance be enough?
Love gets a reprise in these short stories by best-selling authors Cassandre Dayne, Lucy Felthouse, Kate Richards, Olivia Starke, and Anastasia Vitsky. All about women's relationships with women, the romance and erotica are deep and abiding with musical interludes flowing throughout. Sprinkled with spanking, a little BDSM, eroticism, and true friendship, these stories tell of women who find love thanks to a second chance.
Anastasia Vitsky brings us a story about Leila and her lover Carene. Leila struggles to recover her career as a classical violinist, and Carene fights for the courage to ask Leila to stay. Music plays a part in Cassandre Dayne's, "Broken Dreams," a story about the lead singer of a rock band who finds love with her former friend, veterinarian Samantha Mason. Their deep, dark cravings are finally revealed. In Lucy Felthouse's story, ex-best friends Eden and Janine are forced to re-evaluate their estrangement when their siblings marry. Kate Richards tells the story of pediatric nurse Kim, who has withdrawn into herself due to the loss of the one she loves, but she finds herself teased out of herself when she meets Nora. The only problem is that she doesn't know if she can take a chance on love again.
Find the passion, the intimacy, and the desire among women in this anthology written entirely by women. Love's Reprise will melt your heart on even the coolest days.
"Each of these stories is a love story, but what you'll get is so much more. They are each chock-full of steamy sex scenes that will fog up your computer scene as well as…you guessed it! Strong, dominant women who like to take charge and spank the ones they love. If you're looking for hot scenes and tender romances—and some rekindled flames that burn rather hot—then I suggest you pick up a copy of this book, stat. This was a highly entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable book! All the stories were well written and interesting. Give it a read—you'll be glad you did!" Spanking Romance Reviews

Once again I see on the LCMS website in the "View from Here" feature an article I wrote a long time ago, I think for Lutheran Witness. It takes up what has been called "the scandal of particularity"; that is, the claim that there is only one way that leads to Heaven, the person and work of Jesus Christ. Why aren't other religions equally valid? How can we credibly hold to Christ as the only way to Heaven in our current climate of religious pluralism? And, as if that isn't a difficult enough problem, I throw in the question of how a just God could condemn someone for not being a Christian. Reading the piece long after I have forgotten what I said, I found myself approaching it like any other reader and, in an odd way, learning from myself. I'll present the essay in its entirety after the jump.

Chili Verde Stew RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 1 2
Doris McGuire found other recipes for green chili stew to be too bland, so she created this version at her home in Grants Pass, Oregon. "It makes a great dinner served with corn bread sticks and a simple salad," she writes.
Recommended: 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Recipes
- 3/4 pound boneless pork roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons canned chopped green chilies, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- Dash ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- In a large saucepan, cook the pork in oil over medium heat until no longer pink; remove and set aside. In the same pan, saute the green pepper, onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes or until tender. Stir in the pork, wine or broth, tomatoes, salsa, 1 tablespoon chilies, cumin, sugar and cloves. Cover and cook over low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the parsley, jalapeno and remaining chilies. Cover and cook 20-25 minutes longer or until meat is tender. Yield: 2 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

"It's hard to [narrow it] down right now, especially since I haven't seen [the campuses]," Robinson said. He's currently looking at St. John's, Kansas, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Kentucky.
It's tough to analyze his list. St. John's has probably been there the longest while Florida State is the newest to the list. Right now, however, there's no rhyme or reason until some visits happen.
Right now Robinson says that he definitely wants to visit Kansas, Georgia Tech and Kentucky. In fact, he'll officially visit Tech Sept. 20 and Kansas the following weekend on the 27th.
Robinson, a team guy if there ever was one, has simple expectations for his visit. He wants to check up on just a few things. "The team. Do the players accept me and do I feel comfortable playing with the players?"
"I want to try to take all five visits. I don't have five [scheduled] but I've got three I'm definitely going to take them. It's like … a couple of them, I don't know if I'm going to visit or not."
On a lighter note, Robinson met Michael Jordan last week. MJ's advice? "He just said to stay away from the girls."

The hardships of laboratory life begin with confinement. No one tolerates it well when freedom, will, or choices are taken from them. Chimpanzees' intelligence and feelings, and certainly their bodies, are continually assaulted by the conditions they must endure in research and labs.
Photo: © Fauna Foundation
When finally released from their laboratory prisons, chimpanzees meet their new found relative freedom with a complex range of reactions – testament to the uniqueness of each individual.
Some rush out to the fresh air, green grass, and sunshine or challenge their new surroundings with fist and hair raised high. Others walk tentatively into the open, looking for constant reassurance from an old or new friend nearby. Still others huddle against the building, unwilling to venture far from the familiarity of concrete.
However they meet these first days, with time the emotional wounds begin to heal, their spirit returns, their bodies strengthen and they begin the journey that they were deprived of years ago – the journey to being their selves.
You can purchase the award-winning PBS documentary, Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History, from our online store. The documentary explores chimpanzee use in research and visits three chimpanzee sanctuaries. Proceeds from your purchase benefit Project R&R's campaign efforts.

The national championship picture changed little over rivalry weekend in college football, with all the top contenders holding serve.
Defending BCS champion Florida solidified its hold on the No. 1 ranking in the USA TODAY coaches' poll it has held all season, and is now a win away from returning to the BCS finale. The Gators took a convincing 37-10 decision over in-state rival Florida State in Tim Tebow's final home game in Gainesville. Florida received 53 of 59 first-place votes, up six from a week ago. For a second consecutive season, Florida faces an unbeaten Alabama squad in next week's Southeastern Conference title game in what amounts to a semifinal for the national championship.
The Crimson Tide retained the No. 3 ranking in the poll, though they needed to overcome an early 14-point deficit before prevailing 26-21 at archrival Auburn Friday. Alabama got only three first-place votes, down from eight a week ago.
Meanwhile, No. 2 Texas got a huge game from Heisman Trophy candidate Colt McCoy to survive a 49-39 shootout at Texas A&M Thursday night. The Longhorns picked up the remaining three No.1 nods and will be positioned to face the SEC champ in Pasadena, Calif., if they can get past No.20 Nebraska in next week's Big 12 finale.
There could be as many as five undefeated teams heading into the postseason, and the chances increased that all of them will be in big-money bowls.
No. 4 TCU is in the clubhouse at 12-0 after an easy win over New Mexico in its regular-season finale. The Mountain West champion Horned Frogs will be guaranteed a slot in a BCS bowl as the highest-rated team from a conference without an automatic BCS berth. No. 6 Boise State, a 44-33 winner over Nevada for the Western Athletic Conference title, is not guaranteed a BCS spot. But other results improved its odds for an at-large invitation, most notably Oklahoma State's 27-0 drubbing at the hands of Oklahoma.
No. 5 Cincinnati, meanwhile, kept its record clean heading into next Saturday's showdown at Pittsburgh for the Big East crown. Pitt fell six places to No. 15 in the coaches poll after losing on a last-second field goal at West Virginia but can still claim a BCS berth with a win over the Bearcats. The six undefeated clubs occupied the top six positions on most coaches' ballots, but Cincinnati received one No. 7 vote and Boise State had a seventh, an eighth and a ninth.
It wasn't a good weekend for the Atlantic Coast Conference as far as the poll is concerned. The two division winners who will meet next week for the league title fared poorly against SEC competition. Coastal winner Georgia Tech slid five positions to 12th after losing at home to Georgia, while Atlantic champ Clemson dropped completely out of the top 25 after falling to South Carolina. North Carolina wasn't dealing with the SEC but also dropped out of the rankings after losing its last ACC contest to N.C. State. The week's other dropout was Mississippi, which lost its rivalry game at Mississippi State. The Pitt victory gave No. 23 West Virginia a return trip to the rankings. The Pac-10 benefited from the other two openings as No. 22 California and No. 24 Stanford jumped back in.

The country is in uprising with people taking to the streets to demand more freedom and political reform as part of the Arab Spring - which has seen revolts in Tunisia and Egypt this year and civil war in Libya.
The Anglo-French move, backed by Germany and Portugal, demands an immediate end to the violence, condemns human rights abuses and calls on Syria to allow immediate access to international human rights monitors and humanitarian agencies and workers.
It also calls for President Bashar Assad's country to implement political reforms allowing "genuine political participation," and the release of all political prisoners.
Syria is also called upon to lift media restrictions with all other nations urged to prevent its supply of arms.
The resolution needs nine votes to be adopted by the 15-member council, and no veto by a permanent member - the US, Russia, China, Britain and France.
Russia will not support the resolution and it is not known how countries such as China, India and Lebanon, Brazil and South Africa will vote.
Hours before the resolution was presented in New York, David Cameron told the House of Commons: "If anyone votes against that resolution or tries to veto it, that should be on their conscience."
Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin reiterated that Moscow would not support the resolution on the grounds that it would not promote dialogue and help put an end to the violence.
"We are concerned it would have the opposite effect," Churkin said.
While Russia does not support the draft, Churkin declined to say whether they planned to veto it.
Britain's UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said he hopes for a vote in the coming days.
The sponsors believe Russia, China, India and Lebanon are very unlikely to support it, but the question is whether Russia, or possibly China, would cast a veto and kill it.
Activists say more than 1,300 Syrians, most of them civilians, have died since the start of the nationwide uprising 11 weeks ago.

Timothy Geithner
Timothy Geithner was sworn in as the 75th Secretary of the United States Treasury in January 2009. He had served five years as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prior to his Washington posting. With the state of the economy he's dealing with, Tim Geithner's been busy overseeing the restructuring of financial institutions, insurance companies and the automobile industry in highly volatile economic times.
AppealHe may not resemble George Clooney and he may revival Danny Devito in stature, but with his status as United States Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner wields a massive amount of financial clout, which might stimulate certain status-driven women. As part of Barack Obama's young administration, he has the added bonus of attracting the attention of ladies who support the Democrats. On the flip side, he's also vilified by those who'd like to run him and his party out of Washington. Whatever women may think of him, Timothy Geithner has greater concerns on his mind these days trying to keep the U.S. economy from collapsing. And he's been happily married to his wife, Carole Sonnenfeld Geithner, since 1985, so he's out of circulation anyhow.
SuccessAs a U.S. Treasury official who gained experience under three administrations and five Treasury Secretaries, Timothy Geithner honed his chops during the 1990s dealing with a number of international economic crises in places such as Brazil, Mexico and South Korea. Upon taking over as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, he became a permanent member of the Federal Open Market Committee, an organization that formulates U.S. fiscal policy. Timothy Geithner is a member of a number of other elite associations, including the Economic Club of New York, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the G-10's Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems of the Bank for International Settlements. Having the power to decide where the hundreds of billions of federal bailout dollars go is a massive responsibility, and some of his plans have been criticized by leading economists, including a pair of Nobel laureates. Timothy Geithner's influence on America's financial recovery, or its continued economic slump, will ultimately be decided by history.
Timothy Geithner BiographyTimothy Franz Geithner was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 18, 1961. He spent his formative years in East Africa, India and the Far East, and graduated from International School Bangkok, in Thailand. While completing his B.A. in government and Asian studies at Dartmouth College, he studied Mandarin at Chinese universities. In 1985, he received his M.A. in international economics and East Asian studies from Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced International Studies.
timothy geithner joins the u.s. treasury departmentAfter working for Kissinger and Associates in Washington D.C., Timothy Geithner landed a position in the United States Treasury Department's International Affairs division in 1988. He later served as a U.S. Embassy attaché in Tokyo, were he honed his Japanese language skills. He padded his resume with a number of government jobs during the latter half of the '90s, including deputy assistant secretary for international monetary and financial policy, and assistant secretary for international affairs.
In 1998, Timothy Geithner became Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, during which time he was mentored by Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers. In 2001, he was named Director of the International Monetary Fund's Policy Development and Review Department, while in 2002, he left the Treasury Department to serve as Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations' International Economics department.
timothy geithner is named president of new york's federal reserve bankIn November 2003, Timothy Geithner was sworn in as the ninth President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which entitled him to become Vice Chairman of the affiliated Federal Open Market Committee. During his tenure at the Federal Reserve, Timothy Geithner joined the Group of Thirty, a Washington-based financial advisory body. In 2007, he turned down an offer to become CEO of Citigroup.
With the onset of the worldwide financial crisis, Timothy Geithner's economic expertise was called on to decide the fates of a number of major financial institutions. In 2008, he played an instrumental role in implementing the government bailout of Bear Stearns and AIG, as well as the decision to not rescue Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy. Barack Obama nominated Timothy Geithner as Henry Paulson's replacement as Secretary of the Treasury in November 2008.
timothy geithner becomes treasury secretaryOn January 26, 2009, the U.S. Senate voted 60 to 34 in favor of his appointment, and he was sworn as in as Treasury Secretary by Vice President Joe Biden. In March, Timothy Geithner's decision to bail out AIG came back to bite him when controversy arose over the multi-million dollar bonuses which were distributed to AIG executives. The Treasury Secretary chastised AIG CEO Edward Liddy for using federal aid to pay out those bonuses, and later appeared with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke before a Congressional hearing to explain his actions. In July 2009, Timothy Geithner co-chaired the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.

Malta under fire over migrant repatriation
Malta lacks any sort of training or specific guidelines for the effective monitoring of the process through which irregular migrants are repatriated, according to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.
The Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) had published a report on the monitoring of a return flight in 2012, commenting on issues such as escort staff's use of restraints and the need for a "fit to fly certificate".
According to FRA, Malta should apply European guidelines and monitoring tools, including by the CPT, which is increasingly focusing on forced returns.
In 2008, the Return Directive was adopted by the EU, providing for clear rules for the return and removal of migrants and the use of coercive measures while fully respecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of those concerned.
Third-country nationals who do not fulfil the conditions for entering or staying in the EU receive a return decision, which the authorities may enforce if it is not complied with voluntarily.
The implementation of a return decision must respect the principle of non-refoulement and take due account of the best interests of the child, family life and third-country nationals' health status.
Once the Return Directive was adopted, almost all EU member states needed to amend their national legislation and adapt their practice to the new rule. However, such changes are "taking much longer than initially envisaged, given that the deadline to transpose the directive expired in December 2010".
In 2013, a number of countries established a legal basis for return monitoring. Bulgaria and Poland, for instance, made changes to allow the Ombudsman and representatives of national or international NGOs to observe the process of forced return.
FRA noted that Malta, however, merely extended the remit of the Board of Visitors of Detained Persons to monitoring "proceedings relating to the involuntary return", thereby granting the board a "wide yet unspecified scope of action".
In addition, Malta does not have a system in place which had a return flight accompanied by observers, either systematically or occasionally. Malta also does not publish the observers' findings, not even in part.
The island is also mentioned as one of the EU countries that need to adopt a more proactive approach towards combating human trafficking for labour exploitation. At the moment, the key focus in most member states was on trafficking for sexual exploitation, FRA pointed out. This should shift to clearly include trafficking for labour exploitation and provide support to those who are victimised, in line with EU legislation.
"In some of the countries evaluated, victims of trafficking appear to be treated first and foremost as irregular migrants rather than victims in need of specific assistance and protection as guaranteed by the Convention [on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings]."
"The absence of effective regulation of certain labour market segments is one of the factors that help to create an environment in which it is possible and profitable to use trafficked labour."
FRA noted that throughout 2013, most member states took positive steps to strengthen national legislation to tackle human trafficking and labour exploitation and provide support to those who were victimised.
It said Malta introduced amendments to the Criminal Code to raise fines and prison terms with the aim of deterring potential trafficking offenders. However, despite considerable efforts to identify and investigate cases of human trafficking across the EU, few victims are identified while prosecution and conviction rates are low, raising concern across member states.

kitchen paint color
I need help with our kitchen paint color. We just moved into a new house and I cant seem to decide what to do with the kitchen which has a mix of conteporary and older styles. THe appliances are black, counter tops black granite, the cabinets are older beige laminate, the floor beige tile, trim white, closet door white and white levelors on sliding glass door. I want to paint and keep the look modern. Any suggestions??
I'd actually go for white and introduce a splash of colour with either plants or pictures ( if not both ) White is realtively easy to freshen up and has a clean feel. Also you can change your interest colour easily if they suddenly bring in a new range of must have small appliances in red/green/blue whatever :-)
Hello Im Looking To Repaint My Kitchen I Would Like To Mix The Paint With Differ Colorswith Stucko, Or Paste Is There A Way To Do This.

Karon Beach
Attractions, Phuket
Karon is around two kilometers long and is the second largest of Phuket's tourist beaches. Large resort complexes line the road behind of the shoreline, but the long, broad beach itself has no development. The sand is very white, and squeaks audibly when walked upon. The southern point has a fine coral reef stretching toward Kata and Bu Island, which is great for snorkeling.
Restaurants, bars, tour companies and other non-hotel businesses are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south end, on the little road connecting the back road with the beach road. The narrow road between neighboring Kata Beach and Karon has a number of small businesses as well as the Dino Park Mini Golf facility.

Well, my brother's friend picked up a sweet black 6spd 01 M3 a few months ago and I'll admit, I love that car. Well, after months and months of friendly smack talkin we decided to see how I'd do against his almighty M3.
We head out to a clear quiet street and decide to do a few roll-on races (he was too chicken to race from a stop!). I already knew my only advantage was from a stop but I just wanted to see if I could keep up.
1st race - 30mph roll, he honks and we're off. He gets a half car jump right away (turbo not quite spooled). Boost finally hits and I close the gap a little but not much. I shift to third and lose a little more, about another 1/4 car but I seem to hold even for a couple more seconds but then a car is in his lane ahead so we stop. The result was about a car length up to about 80.
We raced 3 more times. 2nd race I missed a gear and he won, 3rd race he missed a gear and I won. The final race... the showdown. This time we go from 20mph and now I'm in first. I honk and I pull about a 1/4 of a car and then shift to 2nd, He pulls ahead by a 1/4 of a car. I stay steady through 2nd with him slowly pulling to a half car. Hit third and he pulls another 1/4 length and run out 3rd to about 85 with him a full car length in front and pulling slowly.
Overall, I was pleased. I knew that he had the advantage with his 333hp to my 260hp and my AWD disadvantage but I just had to see for myself. Very nice race. I was just hoping he wouldn't embarrass me, which he didn't so I'm happy. I really think if we went from a stop I could have held him off. Now I have 2 more battles to settle... my bro's s2k on the hwy and his friend's turbo eclipse. Fun fun fun.

Personal Information
Personal Bio
I'm fairly odd, even outside of the anime scene (though I've been mostly absent from it barring the odd con for a while now). I'm a 20 year old work rider - trying pretty hard to get my weight down enough to jockey. Work takes up a lot of time, so hobbies always take the back seat.
My online presence is VERY intermittent.
Cosplay Bio
Finally been convinced to start cosplaying again... haven't made one in nearly 3 years now - hope I'm not too old for it.
Since the only anime I'm watching at the moment is FMA:B, my next cosplay will probably be related. I think I'm gonna end up making a costume for Mysty too - just have to convince him to wear it.
