2005 325i oil in radiator
Car has never over heated has only 70000 miles. Is it a head gasket?
How much oil? What does it look like? Any other visible leaks?
Brown in color and no other leaks that are visible
Milky brown? Like when you add cream to your coffee? Most likely a blown headgasket. Only way to tell for sure without getting the head removed is to have it pressure tested.

Work details
Marilyn & Me: A Photographer's Memories by Lawrence Schiller
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A pleasant memoir by the cameraman who photographed Marilyn Monroe during the last two years of her life. The few insights into Marilyn's personality/psyche make it worth the read. It is short so modest investment of effort for sufficient reward.
Lawrence Schiller was a Hollywood photographer, one of the best. Now he's a writer. This small but highly intriguing book is about his professional relationship with Marilyn Monroe, and what he learned about her through the camera's lens. Filled with his iconic pictures (yes, HE was the one that got the nude pool pictures on the "Something's Got To Give" set, with Marilyn's complicity--it is quite the story), this will be a treat for photography fans as well as Rat Pack era Hollywood and, of course, Marilyn.

The Warshawsky Law Firm in the News: Steven M. Warshawsky To Appear Tonight On "Today's Verdict With David Lesch"
The Warshawsky Law Firm Files EEOC Charge For Roosevelt Island Public Safety Officer Who Was Retaliated Against For Opposing Supervisor's Sexual Harassment Against Another Employee
Always Consult An Attorney Before Signing A Severance Agreement
Tuesday, January 19, 2016
The Warshawsky Law Firm is pleased to announce that founding partner Steven M. Warshawsky will be appearing tonight on "Today's Verdict with David Lesch" on BronxNet TV to discuss the 2015 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary issued by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. "Today's Verdict" may be seen online and on selected cable channels. Update: Mr. Warshawsky's appearance can be seen here, starting at 13:45.
Monday, January 11, 2016
The Warshawsky Law Firm represents a former public safety officer with the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation who was wrongfully terminated, after nine years of employment, after she spoke out in support of a fellow officer who was being sexually harassed by their supervisor. Our client supported her colleague and corroborated her accusations during a meeting with agency managers and during an investigative interview conducted by the New York State Division of Human Rights. These communications constituted "protected activity" under the law.
Unfortunately, after our client made her statements in support of her colleague, the supervisor began an illegal campaign of retaliation intended to punish our client for siding with the other officer. He stopped treating her in a professional and cordial manner. He subjected her to intrusive and unjustified workplace scrutiny. He started writing her up for minor rules infractions that he previously ignored and for which he did not write up other officers. Ultimately, he falsely accused her of serious misconduct, which led to her termination. The supervisor's objective was to have our client fired, which he succeeded in accomplishing with the help of agency management.
We recently filed an EEOC charge of discrimination for our client, alleging unlawful retaliation (in violation of Title VII) and also disability discrimination (in violation of the ADA) because she was fired while on short-term disability leave for a car accident. The charge is pending before the New York District Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We believe strongly in our client's case and are working hard to get her job back and to obtain fair compensation for the mistreatment and hardship she experienced.
If you or someone you know has been retaliated against in the workplace, please contact The Warshawsky Law Firm today.

The holidays is a festive time of year, full of family celebrations, gift giving, and ringing in the new year. Unfortunately, it also is a time when many employees are laid off, as businesses look back at their performance over the past year and re-evaluate their budgets and staffing needs going forward. (Another time when lay offs are common is near the end of the first quarter, before annual bonuses are paid out.)
The Warshawsky Law Firm receives numerous inquiries during the holiday period from laid off employees who want to learn about their legal rights or who have been given severance agreements that they need reviewed and explained. Perhaps the two most frequent questions we are asked are: Am I entitled to severance? and Is it possible to get more severance?
The answer to the first question is no, unless the employer has a formal policy of paying severance to laid off employees, or unless the employer has made a promise to the specific employee, in a written employment contract, to pay severance (which many high-level employees receive).
As a general matter, there is no entitlement to severance under federal, state, or city law. However, some companies "promise" employees that they will receive severance if they are laid off. This promise usually is found in an employee handbook. If it is written in nondiscretionary, contractual language, then it may be legally enforceable (meaning, if the employer fails to pay the severance, the employee may be able to sue the company for breach of contract to obtain the severance). Such a policy needs to be reviewed carefully with an attorney to determine if it is binding on the company and if the laid off employee otherwise qualifies for the severance.
The harder question is whether it is possible to get more severance. Although each employee's situation must be evaluated individually, for most employees the answer will be no. Companies that have written severance policies usually will not make exceptions to the "formula" used for calculating how much severance each employee receives (for example, one week pay for every year of service). But sometimes it may be possible for an employee to make a personal appeal to the company for more severance based on length of service or excellent work performance or hardship or another relevant factor that touches on the "fairness" of the severance amount. In these situations, the company is under no legal obligation to increase the amount of the severance payment, but it may be willing to do so to help out an especially valued or deserving employee.
Is it possible for an attorney to "write a letter" to the company to obtain more severance for the employee? Yes and no. Unless the attorney has a prior relationship with the company, an attorney's letter only will have influence if there are valid legal claims -- usually some kind of discrimination -- that the employee could assert against the company. Evaluating these potential legal claims is the most important reason for consulting with a qualified employment lawyer before signing any severance agreement.
A severance agreement is a contract between the company and the employee in which the employee agrees to waive any claims he/she may have against the company in exchange for the severance payment. This "bargain" is the heart of every severance agreement, although these agreements usually impose additional obligations on the employee, including not to disclose the severance agreement and not to disparage the company. Even "straightforward" severance agreements are full of legalese that requires an attorney to review and explain.
Ultimately, the key question is whether the amount of severance that is being offered is "enough" -- in terms of whether it reasonably compensates the employee for the rights he/she is giving up and the obligations he/she is accepting under the agreement.
Frankly, for most employees, who do not have any viable legal claims against their companies, almost any amount of severance will be better than nothing. But some employees will have viable legal claims -- which they may not know about until they consult with an attorney -- that may be "worth" more than the amount of severance that is being offered. For these employees, accepting the severance may be a mistake. The bottom line is that the decision whether or not to accept a severance agreement should not be made until the employee has consulted with a qualified employment lawyer.

The Warshawsky Law Firm has reviewed severance agreements for employees at all levels and in a wide range of industries, including finance, technology, real estate, travel, fashion, publishing, media, entertainment, insurance, medicine, and law.

The Warshawsky Law Firm represents a certified asbestos investigator who was wrongly terminated after he complained that his coworkers and supervisors were illegally forging his signature and using his investigator's stamp on asbestos inspection reports that were submitted to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
Our client worked for a nationally recognized engineering and environmental consulting company based in New Jersey. On at least two occasions, other employees at the company submitted asbestos inspection reports to the NYC DEP under our client's name, without his prior knowledge and authorization, in violation of NYC laws and regulations. When our client complained to management about these illegal practices, he was retaliated against and fired.
The Warshawsky Law Firm has filed a whistleblower lawsuit on our client's behalf asserting claims under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act. The NJ CEPA provides, in relevant part, that "[a]n employer shall not take any retaliatory action against an employee because the employee . . . (a) Discloses . . . to a supervisor . . . an activity, policy, or practice of the employer . . . that the employee reasonably believes (1) is in violation of a law, or a rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to law, including any violation involving deception of, or misrepresentation to . . . any governmental entity . . . or (c) Objects to . . . any activity, policy or practice which the employee reasonably believes (1) is in violation of a law, or a rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to law, including any violation involving deception of, or misrepresentation to . . . any governmental entity . . . ." N.J. Stat. § 34:19-3.
The lawsuit was filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Case No. 15-CV-8592 (WHP) (SDNY). Steven M. Warshawsky is lead plaintiff counsel on the case.
If you or someone you know has been retaliated at work for "blowing the whistle" on the company's illegal activities, please contact The Warshawsky Law Firm today.

As civil rights attorneys, The Warshawsky Law Firm represents people whose constitutional and statutory rights have been violated by government agencies and private institutions. The most common civil rights cases we handle are lawsuits against the police for false arrest.
False arrests happen everyday in New York City and in cities and states across the country. Basically, a false arrest occurs anytime a police officer arrests a person without "probable cause." Probable cause exists when a police officer has knowledge or reasonably trustworthy information (more than mere suspicion) sufficient to believe that the person to be arrested has committed a crime. If a police officer does not have this knowledge or information, then it is illegal (under both federal and state law) to arrest the person. For more information about the law governing false arrest claims, see here and here.
Although false arrests, and other civil rights violations, happen to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, they happen disproportionately to racial minorities, especially African-Americans. In the remainder of this blog post, I want to discuss how this situation affects -- and hampers -- handling these cases at trial. The problem arises in the context of selecting jurors to serve on juries.
Trial by jury is a venerable institution that is designed to protect individual rights and promote justice by having cases decided by ordinary citizens in the local community, instead of by judges or other government officials. While no system of justice comes close to being perfect, trial by jury is a crucial part of our representative democracy and, in my opinion, is the best method for resolving most legal disputes.
How are juries selected for trial? This happens at the start of trial, in a process called "voir dire." (This is French, derived from the original Latin, for "to speak the truth.") Voir dire is defined in Black's Law Dictionary as "[a] preliminary examination of a prospective juror by a judge or lawyer to decide whether the prospect is qualified and suitable to serve on a jury."
At the start of trial, a large group of potential jurors is brought to the courtroom. Then they are questioned (in federal court, almost exclusively by the judge; in state court, by the judge and the attorneys) to determine (i) who is unable to serve on the jury for personal or medical reasons, (ii) who may have conflicts of interest relating to the case, and (iii) who may be biased or otherwise unable to treat the parties fairly and impartially. During this process, which can take several hours, many people will be excused for one reason or another. The remaining 6 or 12 people (depending on the required size of the jury) become the jury for trial.
Obviously, when litigating these cases, especially cases involving black plaintiffs, it would be helpful to have people on the jury who are sensitive to the reality of police misconduct. In my experience, however, most people automatically assume that police officers, by virtue of being cops, are "good people" who simply are doing their jobs. Many police officers are; but many aren't.
Unfortunately, the jurors who would be most open-minded to the idea that a police officer may have violated a person's rights tend to be people who have had their own bad experiences with the police. These people know that police officers do not always respect individual rights and sometimes assert their power arbitrarily and without justification. This is particularly common among African-Americans jurors, who frequently tell stories of negative interactions with police officers that they, their family members, or their friends have experienced.
The Catch 22 referred to in the title of this post is that these jurors, who otherwise are qualified to serve, usually are excused from the jury -- not on "racial" grounds, but on the grounds that they cannot be fair to the defendant police officers -- leaving only jurors whose rosy view of the police has not been clouded by real life experience. The result is that juries in civil rights cases are inherently biased in favor of the police, because only people with "positive" attitudes towards police officers are allowed to serve on the jury.
Civil rights lawyers who have tried cases will agree that it can be difficult to persuade a jury that police officers violated a plaintiff's rights. This is especially true in false arrest cases (but less true in excessive force cases, where the misconduct is harder to rationalize away). As explained above, the challenge in these cases begins with jury selection, where potentially helpful jurors routinely are excluded from the jury. Plaintiffs and their attorneys should keep this dilemma in mind when litigating these cases and weighing the pros and cons of settling versus going to trial.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a false arrest or other police misconduct, please contact The Warshawsky Law Firm today.

Although people speak about "having their day in court," very few civil cases actually go to trial. The vast majority of civil cases either are dismissed or settle. According to various online sources, only approximately 10% of civil cases go to trial. Moreover, research shows that many of the cases that go to trial would have been better off settled. In this blog post, I want to discuss some of the considerations that go into deciding whether or not to settle a lawsuit.
As I explain to potential clients, in most cases, it is not easy to win a lawsuit.
First, the plaintiff's allegations have to be strong enough to avoid being dismissed for "failure to state a claim for relief." This is a relatively low hurdle to jump over (but higher in federal court than in state court). Assuming the plaintiff has a legitimate grievance against the defendant, and assuming that the plaintiff's allegations do not raise novel legal issues, this hurdle is one that a competent lawyer should be able to get over -- or the lawyer should not take the case.
The second, much higher hurdle is called "summary judgment," which is where the defendants ask the judge to throw out the lawsuit because, based on the evidence developed during discovery, there is no basis for the jury to rule in the plaintiff's favor. Some kinds of cases, e.g., employment discrimination, are especially prone to being dismissed on summary judgment. Other kinds of cases, e.g., false arrest, are less likely to be dismissed on summary judgment. Unfortunately, at the start of a lawsuit, it is difficult to predict the chances that any given case will be dismissed on summary judgment. Nevertheless, the ability to exercise this judgment accurately is a hallmark of an experienced, effective civil litigator.
The last hurdle that a plaintiff must get over to win a lawsuit is the trial. Even when the plaintiff has a strong case, the jury can side with the defendant. There are no guarantees once the jury starts deliberating. The jury's sense of "justice" does not have to coincide with the plaintiff's. Moreover, depending on the type of case, it can be more or less challenging to persuade the jury to find in favor of the plaintiff. For example, juries are notoriously reluctant to rule against police officers in civil rights cases.
In short, winning a civil lawsuit isn't easy, but litigation is an all-or-nothing affair in which the only outcomes are win or lose.
Given the nature of the legal system, it almost always make sense for the plaintiff to settle for a reasonable amount of money instead of running the risk of losing and obtaining no compensation for the harms the plaintiff has suffered. (In addition, plaintiffs who lose cases can be required to reimburse the defendants for their costs and attorney's fees -- so the plaintiff ends up even worse off financially.)
OK, but what is a "reasonable amount of money"? How is this determined?
Unfortunately, there is no formula that can answer this question. It involves making an educated assessment of the "value" of the case (based on the damages that the applicable law allows a plaintiff to recover) and the "likelihood" of winning or losing at each stage in the litigation process (primarily based on case law). These variables then must be viewed in light of the plaintiff's financial circumstances and willingness to risk losing the case. For example, a plaintiff who does not "need" the money from a settlement is going to evaluate a case differently than someone who needs the money to pay bills. Very few plaintiffs are this fortunate, however. Most need the money, and sooner than later -- which can be a compelling reason to settle a lawsuit.
But again, it all depends on whether the defendant makes a "reasonable" settlement offer. Some offers are just too low to accept, even for cases that are worth little and have low chances for success.
In my experience, however, most defendants in most cases will make settlement offers that are "reasonable" based on the facts and law of the case, even if the offers are lower than the plaintiffs would like (as they almost always are, of course).
This brings me to a critical issue: unrealistic expectations. In my experience, most plaintiffs believe their cases are "worth" more than they really are (from a legal perspective). This is understandable, because the plaintiffs have experienced injustice and want compensation. Unfortunately, the law usually does not provide for the amount of compensation they think is fair. Usually, the law provides for much less. In those situations, all I can do is explain to my clients how the legal system values their case and help them make an appropriate settlement decision based on the strengths and weaknesses of their case as well as their personal circumstances.
At The Warshawsky Law Firm, our goal is to obtain as much compensation as possible for our clients. We screen potential cases carefully. We research and draft complaints thoroughly. We conduct aggressive discovery to obtain the evidence needed to defeat a motion for summary judgment. Above all, we prepare cases with an eye for trial. We are not afraid to take cases to trial. Indeed, we had three jury trials this year alone. But this does not mean that going to trial always is in our clients' best interest. Often it isn't. It almost always makes more sense to accept a reasonable settlement than to "roll the dice" at trial.
The decision whether or not to settle ultimately depends on the facts of each case and each plaintiff's personal circumstances. Sometimes, however, plaintiffs refuse to settle and then obtain a worse outcome later (either a lower settlement, a summary judgment dismissal, or a loss at trial). This happens much more often than the cases in which the plaintiff "hits a home run" at trial.
If I could offer just one piece of advice to plaintiffs, it would be to lower their expectations and accept settlement offers that they and their attorneys think are "reasonable"; then they should take the money, consider that a victory, and move on with their lives.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of sexual misconduct cases at our nation's colleges and universities. Many commentators ascribe this increase to the U.S. Department of Education's "Dear Colleague Letter" that was issued in April 2011. The "letter" actually is a "significant guidance document" that advises colleges and universities about their obligations under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 -- specifically, their "responsibility to take immediate and effective steps to end sexual harassment and sexual violence."
While there is considerable debate about the true incidence of sexual assault among college students, in their zeal to address this problem, colleges and universities have trampled on the rights -- and ruined the futures -- of many students (invariably male) who have been wrongly accused and "convicted" (by the schools, not the courts) of sexual misconduct. This is a complicated legal issue, but there is no question that the student disciplinary systems currently in place at many colleges and universities do not comport with basic principles of due process and equal protection.
Is it possible for a college student wrongly accused of sexual misconduct to "fight back"? Yes, but again the issue is complicated. To date, there have been at least 86 lawsuits filed across the nation challenging these student disciplinary proceedings. See here for a listing of these lawsuits. So far, most of the courts that have ruled on these lawsuits have sided with the schools, but there have been some rulings favorable to the students. Legally, this is an evolving area, with different causes of action (due process, equal protection, Title IX, breach of contract, defamation, and others) being pursued to accomplish the same goals: to exonerate the student of wrongdoing, to restore his academic standing, and to obtain compensation for the harms done to him.
At The Warshawsky Law Firm we are available to represent college students who have been wrongly accused of sexual misconduct. We can assist with pending student disciplinary proceedings and we can represent students in court to challenge the unfair outcomes in these cases. Because these cases are legally complex and loaded with political agendas, it is important to retain experienced, sophisticated counsel for these matters.

At The Warshawsky Law Firm, we handle a wide variety of employment discrimination cases. When first meeting a prospective client, perhaps our most important task is evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a potential lawsuit. Indeed, we usually are asked by the client whether he/she "has a case" and "what are the chances of winning." This is a complicated question that can be difficult to answer based on the limited information and documentation that the client usually has in his/her possession. Often times the full picture of an employment situation does not emerge until after the lawsuit has been filed and the parties engage in discovery.
The central question in every discrimination case is whether the plaintiff can prove that the employer was motivated by unlawful discriminatory bias, hostility, or animosity. For example, in a wrongful termination case, was the plaintiff fired because of his/her race or age or religion, etc.? While the plaintiff may "believe" that he/she was discriminated against by the employer, this is not good enough in court. To be able to win a lawsuit in court, the plaintiff must have objective evidence that shows that the employer acted from a discriminatory motive.
What kind of evidence? While each case is different and various factual circumstances can raise an inference of unlawful discrimination, the most common types of evidence that courts look for are discriminatory comments and differential treatment of similarly situated employees.
Discriminatory comments are just that -- spoken or written comments that demonstrate discriminatory animus. For example, derogatory comments about a person's race or sex or disability, etc. Comment evidence is the most important type of evidence in an employment discrimination case.
Differential treatment of similarly situated employees means, for example, that the employer treats black and white employees differently in the same context (for example, when being disciplined for alleged infractions of workplace rules). This is the second most important type of evidence -- showing that employees are treated differently for no reason other than their race, sex, disability, etc.
Two recent decisions by U.S. District Judge John Gleeson of the Eastern District of New York (a highly respected jurist) illustrate these basic principles.
The first case is Charles Krugler v. MTA New York City Transit Authority, et al., Case No. 12-CV-2900. The second case is Russell Herling v. New York City Department of Education, et al., Case No. 13-CV-5287.
In the Krugler case, the plaintiff was a 57-year old transit employee who alleged that his employer had discriminated against him on the basis of age by rejecting him for 18 promotions that he had applied for between 2001 and 2011.
In a decision issued on September 10, 2015, Judge Gleeson granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the lawsuit. Why? Because the plaintiff did not have any evidence, other than his own opinion, that he had been discriminated against based on his age. There were no discriminatory comments, and the evidence showed that older employees had been interviewed for and in some cases selected for the positions in question -- as Judge Gleeson explained, "[t]his is persuasive evidence that the defendants did not discriminate against Krugler based on his age." Moreover, "Krugler was eventually promoted to the position of AGS, one of the positions he claims he was passed over for because of his age." Based on these facts, Judge Gleeson concluded "as a matter of law" that "age discrimination played no role in the failure to promote Krugler."
In the Herling case, the plaintiff was a white Jewish physical education teacher at a public high school in Brooklyn who alleged that his employer had discriminated against him on the basis of race and religion by disciplining him for workplace infractions, giving him an unsatisfactory rating, and denying him opportunities for additional pay.
In a decision also issued on September 10, 2015, Judge Gleeson denied the defendants' motion for summary judgment and allowed the plaintiff's case to proceed to trial. Why? Unlike the plaintiff in the Krugler case, the plaintiff in the Herling case offered objective evidence of his supervisor's discriminatory animus. This evidence included several discriminatory comments and specific examples of non-white and non-Jewish teachers receiving preferential treatment. For example, the plaintiff showed that black employees who committed the same alleged rules infractions (e.g., being late to work, not submitting student grades properly) were not disciplined for the same or worse conduct for which he was disciplined. Judge Gleeson agreed with the plaintiff that this evidence was sufficient to raise an inference of discrimination. Although the defendants offered various non-discriminatory reasons for the plaintiff's workplace treatment, Judge Gleeson ruled that the plaintiff's evidence was strong enough to require a jury to decide whether or not he had been discriminated against.
The outcomes in these two cases highlight the crucial importance in an employment discrimination case for the plaintiff to present objective evidence -- usually in the form of discriminatory comments and/or differential treatment of similarly situated employees -- that the employer was motivated by discriminatory animus. Without such evidence, it is very difficult for a plaintiff to persuade a court to allow the case to go to trial.

The Warshawsky Law Firm has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of New York and two individual NYPD officers on behalf of a young African-American man who was brutally assaulted and falsely arrested by police officers in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The events in the case took place in February 2014. The plaintiff and several of his friends (all African-Americans) were leaving a nightclub when they noticed a crowd of people (predominately white) forming around two cab drivers who were having an argument. The plaintiff and one of his friends walked over to see what was happening. Shortly thereafter, two police officers arrived on the scene and ordered the crowd to disperse. The plaintiff and his friend promptly complied with the officers' order and started walking away towards the sidewalk.
While the plaintiff was walking away, without warning or provocation, one of the police officers forcefully shoved him in the back and shouted, "I told you to go." The plaintiff was startled and stumbled, then turned around with a perplexed look on his face and asked his friend, "Why is this guy pushing me?" There was no justification for the officer to shove him. It appears that the officer (who is white) intentionally singled out and assaulted the plaintiff because he is African-American.
Without warning or provocation, the officer then shoved him again, this time even more forcefully and on the chest. This caused the plaintiff to start falling backwards and he instinctively reached out and grabbed the officer's jacket to try to stop himself from falling. The officer then grabbed the plaintiff by his arms and shoulders and starting lifting him up. The plaintiff believed that the officer was helping him to his feet, and he apologized for grabbing his jacket, but then the officer tried to throw him on the ground, the two men became tangled, and they both fell to the street.
The physical contact between them was initiated by the police officer, without legal justification and for malicious purposes. The plaintiff did nothing more than try to prevent himself from falling. He did not hit, trip, or throw the police officer.
After the plaintiff and the officer fell to the ground, additional police officers rushed over and started assaulting him. The plaintiff was pushed, grabbed, punched, kicked, and struck with batons, while the officers cursed at him.
At one point while he was being assaulted, the plaintiff felt a police officer place a knee in the middle of his back and then lift up his head and torso from behind. While he was being held in this position, he saw the first police officer walk up to him and knee him twice in the face, breaking his nose and causing extensive bleeding and bruising. Then he was pulled to his feet and placed under arrest on bogus charges of assaulting a police officer, obstructing governmental administration, and disorderly conduct. The charges eventually were dismissed.
This is a very serious case of police abuse, involving an unprovoked and unjustified assault, excessive force, serious personal injuries, and false arrest and malicious prosecution based on trumped-up charges designed to cover-up and excuse the police officers' gross misconduct and violation of the plaintiff's constitutional rights.
This case originally was handled by the law firm of Rubenstein & Rynecki, who filed the case in state court in October 2014 but then allowed the case to flounder for many months until our client came to us looking for lawyers who would be committed to his case. The Warshawsky Law Firm will fight this case aggressively, so our client receives the justice and compensation due to him for the harms he suffered by the police.
If you or someone you know has suffered abuse at the hands of the police, please contact The Warshawsky Law Firm today.

On August 27, 2015, The Warshawsky Law Firm filed a false arrest lawsuit against Toys "R" Us on behalf of a former Toys "R" Us store manager who was wrongly accused of stealing cash from the store safe. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
As alleged in the complaint (names redacted for privacy):
This is an action for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and related causes of action, in violation of New York state law, arising from the plaintiff's arrest on August 29, 2014, based on a false criminal complaint made to the police by the Regional Asset Protection Manager for Toys "R" Us.
The plaintiff worked as the store manager for the Toys "R" Us store in Bayshore, New York. The company wrongly and maliciously accused the plaintiff of stealing a cash deposit bag from the store safe, despite surveillance videotape evidence (produced by Toys "R" Us during the criminal case) showing (1) the plaintiff depositing the cash bag into the safe at the time of the alleged theft and (2) the cash bag later being removed from the safe by an assistant store manager – conclusively demonstrating that the theft did not occur by the plaintiff.
The company's investigation into the theft was negligent, reckless, unreasonable, unprofessional, and incompetent. The investigator never interviewed the plaintiff about the theft. He overlooked and/or ignored exculpatory evidence concerning the plaintiff. He never considered the assistant store manager – the last person seen in possession of the stolen cash bag – a potential suspect.
Based on the evidence available to the investigator at the time he reported the theft to the police, there was no probable cause to accuse the plaintiff of the crime. Nevertheless, based on his complaint, the plaintiff was arrested and charged with felony grand larceny; he lost his job and remained unemployed for one year; he and his family suffered great personal and financial distress; and he was prosecuted for nearly 10 months before the charges against him were dismissed by the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
By this action, the plaintiff demands compensatory damages for the harms he has suffered as a result of the defendant's tortious conduct (in an amount no less than $500,000), punitive damages to punish and deter the defendant from engaging in similar tortious conduct in the future (in an amount no less than $500,000), attorney's fees and costs, and all available legal and equitable relief. The plaintiff demands trial by jury.

Not guilty.
That was the jury's verdict yesterday in a criminal case in Suffolk County District Court in Central Islip, New York. The Warshawsky Law Firm represented the defendant, who had been falsely accused by a former boyfriend of violating an order of protection by making two telephone calls to his residence and leaving a message on his answering machine. The specific crime charged was criminal contempt in the second degree (P.L. 215.50 (3)). The former boyfriend had tried to set up the defendant, to get back at her after his wife (who our client did not know about) discovered he was having an affair.
Steven M. Warshawsky was lead counsel on the case. On cross-examination of the prosecution's witnesses -- the arresting police officer and the former boyfriend -- Mr. Warshawsky demonstrated to the jury that there was no evidence substantiating the accusation against our client. There were no telephone records of the alleged calls, and the answering machine message had been digitally date-stamped with a completely different day and time than the date that the alleged calls were made. The jury saw through the implausible excuses offered by the witnesses for these gaps and discrepancies in the prosecution's evidence. The jury deliberated only 30 minutes before returning their "not guilty" verdict.
We are extremely happy for our client, who has been living with the burden and stress and fear of this hanging over her head for a year and a half.
Justice was done.

Since 1974, Multi-Shifter, Inc., located in Charlotte, North Carolina, has manufactured battery handling equipment. Our first system was sold to J.P. Stevens in Clemson, SC in 1974. Since then, Multi-Shifter has sold over 2,000 battery handling systems worldwide.
Over 200 of these systems are 15 to 20 years old and working everyday. We challenge you to simply find a competitive unit 15 to 20 years old.
When we were designing the Mobile-Shifter, we talked to end users who had competitive models. They told us they had accidentally dumped batteries on the floor because of the roller bed design.
Multi-Shifter "designed out" this potential safety hazard. Our poly bed design keeps the battery from banging back and forth in the battery compartment. The weight of the battery on the poly strips creates a braking action.
Poly strips have the added advantage of being "maintenance-free" Rollers have roller bearings, axles, and retainer rings, which wear out and must be replaced.
The Mobile-Shifter handles batteries up to 4,000 lbs.
The bed length of the Mobile-Shifter can handle longer turret truck batteries. Multi-Shifter has models for narrow-aisle forklift trucks and for counterbalance forklifts. We also have models that change both counterbalance and narrow-aisle forklift batteries.
The Mobile-Shifter uses the same magnet as our battery handling vehicles.

Residents ask for alternate carriage routes to ease traffic in Estes Park
There are 11 comments on the Estes Park Trail-Gazette story from Aug 3, 2012, titled Residents ask for alternate carriage routes to ease traffic in Estes Park. In it, Estes Park Trail-Gazette reports that:Horse-and-carriage rides are a common sight on the streets of Estes Park -- and some residents would rather they be redirected to the side streets, rather than the main streets.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Estes Park Trail-Gazette.

I couldn't agree more. Traffic is already such an issue. Being one of 20 cars stuck behind one of those poor plodding horses takes forever. That can't be good for the horses to walk on hot pavement all day.
#2 Aug 4, 2012
I hate them on the road...so stupid to have on main road, but the people running these don't give a shizzle about ALL the traffic backups their causing. Animal cruetly, especially when its very hot out. Just another way to pilage money away from the year-round businesses downtown.
#3 Aug 4, 2012
And I think its just jealousy. If you lived in New York, traffic would be backed up all the time. Why don't you whiners move to someplace in Wyoming where there is no traffic and you can drive 400 mph to get your groceries. You are old and you are retired, what the hell do you care if you have to wait another minute at a stop light to let people enjoy the traditional, environmentally-uplifting form of transportation. You complainers are probably the same people who say we should love the bears.

Thats a nice planted comment.

Horses are'nt the problem.
The problem is that our idiot govt does not promote the parking lots that they have already built. If they did, Elkhorn wouldn't be a parking lot every day in the summer. Every resident should take a ride on Saturday and Sunday to the large lot at the Fairgrounds. It is mostly empty and the shuttle busses stop to pick up one or two people. Why do our local officials refuse to put up signs directing tourists to this lot?? They are still hanging on to the old ways of being lap dogs to the crappy stores on Elkhorn. Therefore, tourists don't use the remote lots and never will. The asses that we need to get rid of are not pulling the horse wagons.

I am a native of Fort Collins and there is nothing better than watching or riding on a horse and carriage in our Old Town area! We recently drove to Estes just for a carriage ride because we frequent this same carriage company in Fort Collins. We always take out of town guests and relatives to enjoy this step back in time relaxing, self paced ride. I believe that it is poor judgement to lash out at the carriages for slowing the pace of traffic. We weren't even behind a carriage and the traffic was at a stand still. Get real this is a tourist town and locals need to realize without patrons like myself and others their town would just be another run down area. I spent several hundred dollars shopping and eating this last weekend, but won't be back if this is how you treat family owned business. The Mayor needs to apologize to this business and beg them to stay in your town! The paper needs to also interview the business before they print such horrific stories about things they don't know.
#7 Aug 5, 2012
Are you kidding me? The horse carriages rock! We too frequent Fort Collins for a carriage ride and the owners and their staff are nothing but nice and always are accomidating. Their horses are so well taken care of. I myself am a "horse person" Those horses are well groomed, shoes are always set in proper placement and these horses are always given access to water and grain every hour.(I know this because I've sat and watched!) Really, Gazette...people cheering and taking pictures of these carriages at every intersection is a bad thing? I had a patient that came to the ER because of a twisted ankle and they came here from Denver to ride because they had a "Groupon" from this carriage company and they said they wouldn't have come up here but it was such a great deal that they thought the drive was worth it. They're bringing their money to this town. Come on "locals" if you don't like it move go to AZ for the summer and let the tourist make our town thrive. Do the carriage drivers complain about the cars diving infront of them that are "looking" into stores and slowing traffic? Didn't think so. Carriages good for you to bring such a great thing to our town. Please stay!!
#8 Aug 5, 2012
Another way to pilage money? Is this not a business that got a permit and paid the town to operate? I do believe they did! They bring money to the year-round businesses. I see that on living social they teamed up with Sweet Peaks Cupcakery for a deal.....wow that's not a year-round business? Get your facts straight before trying to tear down a good group of people trying to make a living and contribute to the beauty of Estes. Isn't Estes Park considered the "horse capital" of the United States? Wow, and these are the same people that brought several businesses through the Roof Top Rodeo each night in their wagon....if these are bad people, we need more of them in this world!

landfills with all the horse poop these horses churn out. Can't they take a carriage ride around Lake Estes, and then feed the poop to the fish, who would then poop it out and raise the level of the lake so that it would top the dam and flood the bear lovers in the valley?

Transportation????? Its is frickin joy ride!! Do you take a taxi to pick you up and drop you off in the SAME spot!?!? Yikes, someone has a diluted view.
#13 Aug 6, 2012
we have done away with autos, and use horse and buggy exclusively. The air polution has gone way down, although we have to power the internet by putting our nags on hampster wheels.

The Battle of Algiers (1966)
Plot Summary
A film commissioned by the Algerian government that shows the Algerian revolution from both sides. The French foreign legion has left Vietnam in defeat and has something to prove. The Algerians are seeking independence. The two clash. The torture used by the French is contrasted with the Algerian's use of bombs in soda shops. A look at war as a nasty thing that harms and sullies everyone who participates in it.- Written by John Vogel <firstname.lastname@example.com>
In 1954, the National Liberation Front of Algiers shots many French policemen beginning a movement for the independence of their country; in return, the Chief of Police plants a bomb in the Arab quarter, killing many dwellers. The NLF sends three women with bombs to two bars and the Air France office in the European quarter, killing many people. The French government sends the military forces under the command of the abusive Colonel Mathieu that does not respect the human rights and uses torture to destroy the NLF command. In 1962, the Algerians finally achieve their aimed independence.- Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
1954. France, after the independence of the nations comprising Indochina, turns its attention to incidents in French Algeria, which they have ruled for approximately one hundred thirty years. The National Liberation Front (FLN) is leading the resistance in Algeria against their colonial rulers, the FLN who the French authorities believe, or want to believe, comprise only a small minority of the Muslim Algerian population in wanting Algerian independence. Specific incidents in this battle in Algiers between 1954 and the time of independence in 1962 are presented. The FLN began their campaign in shooting military police in the Casbah, the predominantly Muslim quarter of the city, as they were able to blend back into the scene with the support of the populace. These initial one by one attacks escalated on both sides to mass killings, where collateral damage was seen as being acceptable. Both sides also worked toward the United Nations discussion on the issue, each wanting global support for their cause. The events largely focus on two people, one on each side. The first is Ali La Pointe, a lifelong petty criminal and illiterate who the FLN recruited after being politicized while in prison. The second is French paratrooper Colonel Mathieu, a lead French strategist whose main goal is to dismantle the FLN activities by "cutting off the head of the tapeworm".- Written by Huggo
Filmed in a semi-documentary format, this film deals with the battle of Algiers (1956-57) part of the broader fight for Algerian independence (1954-62) from French colonial rule. The rebels began their attacks by shooting policeman and other government officials. When they start bombing public places in the European sector - cafés, restaurants, the Air France office - the authorities send in crack military units. Through large-scale arrests and torture, the colonel in charge focuses on locating and eliminating the leaders of the movement.- Written by garykmcd
In the 1950s, fear and violence escalate as the people of Algiers fight for independence from the French government.- Written by Chthon2 <firstname.lastname@example.com>
The opening scene is of a man who has presumably been tortured by some French military personnel. The commander (Col...See full synopsis » (Warning: contains spoilers!)

Led by All-American junior Mason Ferlic (St. Paul, Minn./Mounds Park Academy), the Maize and Blue returns four of seven runners from last year's NCAA Championships team, including sophomore Ben Flanagan (Kitchener, Ontario/St. Mary's) and juniors August Pappas (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea) and Tony Smoragiewicz (Rapid City, S.D./Rapid City Central).
Sophomores Connor Mora (Cedar Springs, Mich./Cedar Springs) and Nick Renberg (Saline, Mich./Saline) also bring championship race experience to the squad, as both ran on the 2013 NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championship team.
In his first year as head coach, Kevin Sullivan looks to improve on a 21st-place finish at the NCAA Championships from a season ago while continuing U-M's stretch of two straight seasons with top-two finishes at both the Big Ten and NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships.

Cocoon Offices Zurich
Building in Seefeld, Switzerland – design by Camenzind Evolution Architects

Zurich, Switzerland
Cocoon Offices Zurich
Cocoon is located in Zurich's Seefeld district on a beautiful hillside, which enjoys excellent lake and mountain views. The location's distinctive flair stems from the exceptional park-like setting – a green oasis into which Cocoon snugly nestles. Flanked on three sides by mighty, age-old trees the elliptical structure reads as a freestanding sculptural volume that gracefully spirals up from the park. The stainless steel mesh enveloping the building combines visual privacy with restrained elegance, while establishing a strong and unmistakable presence.
The bold stand-alone building embodies an innovative conception of interior spatial organization and interaction with the surrounding environment. In doing so, it caters for a wide variety of workplace and occupancy concepts. With its spiral massing, Cocoon may be conceived as a sort of "communication landscape" that creates a unique spatial configuration and working environment in a matchless setting. The stepped, upward-winding sequence of segments also shapes the character of the building interior. All spaces are arranged along a gently rising ramp, which wraps around a central, light-flooded atrium. The space planning concept dispenses with the traditional division into horizontal storeys in favour of a seemingly endless sequence of elliptical floor segments. By eliminating the usual barriers to communication, this generates a unique spatial experience and working environment that unlocks a host of intriguing possibilities for interaction and co-operation. The floorspace design is occupancy-neutral and provides for fully flexible partitioning together with the adaptability necessary to meet the shifting needs of future users. Together, the various elements – lift, spiral ramp, segments and stairwell – constitute a clearly structured, versatile circulation system that provides for both the desired interaction and the necessary flexibility to accommodate alternative uses.
Internally, a light-flooded, upwardly widening atrium forms the centrepiece of Cocoon. Around this, the circulation and communication ramp winds its way upwards in gently curving contours, to provide a fluid link between all the internal spaces. Internally, as the ellipses expand with each turn of the spiral, the skylight void opens up in a stunning spectacle. Externally, the building adopts the guise of a dynamic, upward-reaching sculpture. The dramatic atrium, with its wealth of internal visual links, generates a natural ambience conducive to communication and a sense of community.
The facade assembly consciously adds a note of subtlety and sophistication to the overall composition. The building is wrapped in a fine, almost scaly veil of stainless steel wire mesh. This curtain curls elegantly upwards in soft lines along the expanding spiral, its junction with the roof terrace accentuated by an open facade frame.
The shrouded, sculptural stand-alone building, introverted during the daytime as it looks inwards towards the atrium, is recast in the evening hours as a transparent shining beacon.
Cocoon uses a Air-source heat pump system for environmentally-friendly heating and cooling.

Lou Reed: New York Legend
Today is a hard day to be a Lou Reed fan. The news of his death can't really be a huge surprise, given his liver transplant in May. But being a Lou Reed fan was never easy. It was easy enough to become one – you only had to hear "Sweet Jane" or "Rock 'n' Roll" or "Walk on the Wild Side," for example. But staying a fan? That took work.
For one thing, being a Lou Reed fan meant constantly re-evaluating your fandom. Some of his albums seemed to be deliberate provocations—most famously, his abstract electronic 2-LP set Metal Machine Music. But whenever you were ready to write him off, he'd come up with something brilliant: The Bells, for example, a criminally underrated album featuring jazz musicians like the late Don Cherry. Or his collaboration in the 1990s with John Cale, his former partner in the Velvet Underground. Or the star-studded album inspired by Edgar Allen Poe called The Raven.
Then there was his larger-than-life persona. Of all the rock musicians associated with New York, perhaps none reflected the city's dark corners and shadowy subcultures the way Lou Reed did in his songs. Perhaps none reflected the city's hard edge and take-no-prisoners attitude the way he did in his onstage or on-screen persona. As I made my way in radio, I never approached his office for an interview. I was scared of him.
Hear Lou Reed's 1972 album Transformer
Of course, the city changed, and mellowed, and it is possible that Lou Reed did too. I finally met him backstage at Merkin Hall in the mid-90s; I was presenting Laurie Anderson (another artist long associated with New York, and especially with the so-called Downtown scene) in my New Sounds Live concert series there, and Lou came along. To my relief, he seemed really nice. He even said something complimentary about my hosting the show.
Since then, I and the Soundcheck staff learned a bit more about Lou Reed. In his appearances on our show, and in a couple of events I did with him — one at Carnegie Hall, one or two at the World Financial Center — I found out that while he could be as prickly as ever, and would suffer no fool gladly (or at all), he also embodied another, less talked-about characteristic of New York: he was fiercely loyal. To Laurie Anderson first and foremost, but I suspect she put in a good word for me at some point, because he not only came on Soundcheck to talk about his book of photography in 2006, he also agreed to come back and play on our first ever program in WNYC's Greene Space. Our theme for that opening event was "Downtown," and in our discussions of who to invite, I don't believe we ever got past Lou Reed. He was our first choice, and when I asked, he said yes.
Two things I will always remember from our conversation in 2006: First, all of the photos were of New York—the city, not the people. "There is one figure in the back of an alley," he admitted. "You can probably guess who that is." (It was Laurie.) The other is that our building security gave him a hard time because he tried to bring his dog. In a little carrying bag. He was quite miffed that he wasn't allowed to bring the dog in, and heaven help me, I couldn't help thinking, " A dog in a carrying bag??? You're LOU REED! You should have a snarling Rottweiler or a Rhodesian ridgeback or some other super scary dog, not some little carry-on thing!" Of course I never said this aloud. I'm not a complete idiot.
Hear Lou Reed talk about his photos, the digital revolution in photography and music, and his dog. (Soundcheck, Jan. 17, 2006)
And he was still Lou Reed. Yes, he left early one night when we were at a restaurant after a World Financial Center event. He and Laurie were having a fine time and didn't particularly want to leave, but they were fretting because the dog was home alone. On the other hand, he concluded our inaugural broadcast from The Greene Space with a version of his song "Romeo Had Juliette" that could've brought the curtain down on WNYC's broadcast license. He'd been on his best behavior for most of an hour, and he was wrapping up with this live performance. I mentioned that the song had come from a little-known compilation called The United States of Poetry; he looked surprised and asked how I knew that. Well, it's my job to know things like that, so I took mock offense and said, "Because I listen, Mister Reed."
Lou had the last word. Twice, in fact. Both times it was a word that I know for a fact was not in that song before, but his little riposte resulted in frantic attempts in the control room to bleep a pair of F-bombs. As our executive producer Joel Meyer just told me earlier today, "In hindsight, I'm so proud that he threw a fit on our show. It was kind of an honor. I'll tell my kids about that one."
Watch Lou Reed perform on Soundcheck in the Greene Space. (April 29, 2009)
A year ago December, WNYC produced an event in the Greene Space for my 30th anniversary here. Lou came, with Laurie naturally. We barely had time to say much more than hi, how are you; but that too was kind of an honor. Since one of my daughters was there and the other watching on the web, I'll have to save that one for my grandkids.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about all this, I'm going to qualify what I said earlier. Today is a hard day to be a Lou Reed fan. But it's also a perfect day to be a Lou Reed fan.

What Robert Rodriguez's spring / summer 2013 collection lacked in colour, it made up for in detail and sharp cuts. Black, white and silver were therefor not at all a bad choice of colours; at times bursting out into bold graphic prints, at others blocking an outfit head to toe in one shade. Upholstery-like brocades were a winner, here, as was one astoundingly simple outfit that was at once glamorous and casual: a white cotton tee with rolled sleeves slouched into a sweeping black evening skirt.

About Me
I am a full time professional artist. Living and working In north Essex, just outside Colchester, for my sins. My work is mostly in oils, but not exclusively so.
Having had to go under the radar for some time to to contractual obligations with a publisher. I am back. Sorry to all of you who have been trying to contact me through this page. I have neglected it!
Following the success of my last round of limited edition prints the demand for this work is 'out there' and so I am currently looking for, primarily, Models to help me with reference material. I am NOT a photographer but would like to find Models who are comfortable with wearing alternative clothing/Latex/corsets etc.
As I cant expect models to pose for lengthy life sessions wearing this type of clothing, I have found that making photographs is by far the fastest and most versatile method but any photographs I make I use purely as a point of reference..I cant make this stuff up! (some people can..I hate them I do! But if any of them end up being any good I am happy to allow you to use them however you see fit. Please take a look at the few pictures I have here...you will hopefully see that I am using imagery to make Fine art. Essentially for the originals market but also for some limited edition publications. These will be available in the first instance nationwide but also, at a later date, internationally.
If you are a photographer and have or are willing to allow me to use any of your work as reference, please get in touch, Although I would prefer to make my own images any collaboration would be welcome.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I would like to network here, swap ideas, collaborate make new contacts with regards to my artwork, perhaps find new models to work/collaborate with. Of course I always respect copyrights and permissions. Were all in this together after all!

Are there any flyweights in the uk I think the weight category is 58kg. I'm specifically looking for semi pro level guys.
MMA Strength, Conditioning and Awesomeness Blog- UPDATED 8/2/11 Random Musings prior to actual content http://maccavelli.wordpress.com/
Flyweight - 125 pounds = 56.6990463 kilograms
Effectively 57kg
We just had Mike Neale win his pro mma debut at 57 kgs. Commonwealth gold medalist at Judo.
No he was fighting at 57.
it was announced as bantamweight
Was it?? It was made at 57 kgs which they both weighed in at.
I been wondering this. I walk around at 62.5 kilos so flyweight would be feasible for me.
Are there any organisations in the UK that have fights at this weight? I have seem bantam fights but never seen a flyweight one, I know in JPN they have them but surprised they have them here.
Hate being the small guy in the gym- where I am no-one walks at less than 70kilos. I should move to Japan, or Italy or somewhere where on average people are smaller.
Iv got a lad at 58Kg semi-pro But he's only 16yrs old, we've also got a Pro at 58kg

I just can't seem to figure this out.
In the poem "On this wondrous sea" by Emily Dickinson, which live indicates that the speaker has encountered challenges in her life?
A. On this wondrous sea
B. Sailing silently
c. Their anchors fast
d. Where the storm is o'er
Maybe its just because I'm looking at the poem and answers too literally, but even when I try to look at it figuratively it doesn't make sense. For me, this is not just about getting the answer. I have never understood this even when teachers tried to explain it. I'm a mathematical type person and need a step by step approach to understand sometimes and haven't received that yet.
Thanks for any help!
What does "where the storm is o'er" imply?
You need to understand the difference between Gestalt thinking (AhHHHa!), and sequential, consequential (therefore) thinking. You are begging for a Gestalt answer that you can analyze in a sequential, consequential mode. It is likely not to happen.
Well if I had not read online that Emily Dickinson wrote a lot of poems about death, then I probably wouldn't have a clue to what it implies. However, I'll say it implies that "the storm" or the bad parts of her life is "o'er" or over or finished.
Maybe. I see the storms still continuing, and she thinks there is a place where they will be over...Death?
The question is asking about problems in her life, so yes 'where the storm is over' could mean where the problems end when she dies, but i could also show that the other answers could say something about challenges in her life.
"On this wondrous sea" could be the answer because when you are on the sea you bob up and down, which could be the ups and downs or challenges in her life.
"sailing silently" could mean that she is depressed as she is going through life, which one would conclude she is having challenges in her life. "sailing" as in going through life..."silently" as in depressed, since depressed people are usually quieter then normal.
You need to stop taking it apart and consider it as a whole ... and THEN make up your mind.
Only one of the choices you've been given has even a slightly negative connotation - the one Bobpursley picked up on right away.
Don't over-think this!
Hmm, that's interesting how no teacher of mine ever thought to tell me that.
So now my problem is how do I consider it as a 'whole'? and should i be looking at the words literally or figuratively?
You're still over-thinking it!! Most students do, so don't be upset with yourself.
In the question, which word tells you to look for an answer with negative connotations? The word "challenges," right? (The code-word in our PC society for "problems.")
Which is the only one of the four answer choices that has even a slightly negative twist or connotation to it? The one with "storms" in it, right?
Here is a superb website that'll give you some ideas about reading (and understanding) poetry:
For your purpose here, all you need is the first section: The large issues
This webpage will be quite valuable for when you need to analyze and write about poems in the future, but for right now, just bookmark it ... and deal with the large issues!
Sorry ... wrong link!
Use this:
Makes so much more sense now! Thank you! I looked up the definition of connotation, even though I thought I knew it, and that made it much easier to understand when I re-read it. You're right, storm is the big "problem" word!
You're welcome!

Hi all
This is my first post within this forum; I'm just in the process of amending/painting a background plate for my composite. The picture is of a plane which has crashed into a house, which will be used within a training scenario for the fire service. I still have loads to do, I'll also be creating smoke particles, debris etc. Please feel free to comment, as I'm new to creating this sort of work.
Thank you.

This Native American artist has shown impressive versatility in his recording career, performing with energy, vitality, and spiritual depth in several different genres. Fans of tranquil Indian flute music will know him from several recordings he made in this style beginning in the late '70s. In contrast to the meditative, pensive nature of the flute music, Mauchahty-Ware has collaborated with drummer, singer, bandleader, and producer Millard Clark on a whole series of recordings featuring songs with English lyrics, including the memorable "To Hell With Your Old Man." But although this attitude may seem a world apart from the image of a lone man standing on top of a butte playing a flute, the two forms of expression sometimes have a similar goal. In the actual social context of the flute in Sioux tradition, the flute was considered an instrument for courting and was played by men only, while the powwow and 49 songs Clark and Mauchahty-Ware have recorded are also often songs of flirting or courting.
Mauchahty-Ware is a descendent of Belo Cozad, a well-known Kiowa flute player of the older generation, and his father was Wilson Ware, a fancy dance champion and powwow singer of considerable reputation who died in 1961. Hardly one to ignore tradition, one of Mauchahty-Ware's projects has been the formation of the Wilson Ware Memorial Singers and the recording of an album dedicated to his father. Mauchahty-Ware initially began releasing recordings commercially with his Flute Songs of the Kiowa and Comanche in 1978, followed five years later with The Traditional and Contemporary Indian Flute of Tom Mauchahty-Ware. His style of playing on the flute is delicate, his breath control enabling him to have a decisive control of the microtonal universe available to a flutist who can sharpen or flatten at will. He plays tunes with melodies evocative of various aspects of love, consisting of adaptations of various Southern plains social dance songs and hymns. He also plays compositions he has written himself, some of them derived from dreams or inspired by the movements and sounds of birds. One of his most fascinating pieces is "Hummingbird Song," and he really goes to work here with all manner of flute techniques such as vibrato, flutter-tonguing, and breath control, all more than suggestive of that tiny bird's hyperdrive fluttering of its wings.
He has also been involved in recordings of powwow music and other Native American genres involving singing and drumming since the mid-'80s. The Indian Sounds recording Kiowa Flag Songs features Ware as a member of a singing group led by Millard Clark, also featuring relatives of Mauchahty-Ware's such as Bill Ware and Pearl Pewo Ware. Mauchahty-Ware also is identified under only as Tom Ware on releases from this period. Recordings from the '90s, such as 49 and Round Dance Songs With English Lyrics series, feature him in duo with Clark, the partners holding forth on a variety of subjects from the sublime to the appetizing. The best example of the latter would be "The Pizza Song." Mauchahty-Ware also plays in a blues group called Blues Nation which has produced several recordings.
Mauchahty-Ware is an extremely busy performer, his activities including many different types of arts and music festivals in the U.S. and Europe, but not limited to that type of event by any means. He has performed for beauty pageants, football games, and even an alligator wrestling show. He has been involved as a collaborator in dance theater, and has also recorded several soundtracks for films such as HBO's Last of the Caddos and the music for the ABC mini-series Son of the Morningstar.

Florida A&M University has suspended the Kappa Psi Psi sorority after the school was notified of another hazing incident that occurred off campus on Oct. 4.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, a complaint filed on the newly created anti-hazing website stophazingatfamu.com revealed that pledges had to stand in place for hours and were humiliated while they performed impossible tasks.
The incident is being handled by the Tallahassee Police Department because it happened outside the school's premises, but FAMU police will aid in the investigation.
The school has been clamping down on hazing activities after the death of drum major Robert Champion last November, a result of hazing within the school's marching band. FAMU's anti-hazing site was launched this September and the university has placed three other student organizations on inactive status this year due to hazing allegations.
