Culp Shutters Two U.S. Plants
January 8, 2007,
Still working its way through a painful restructuring as it combats foreign imports by shifting production off-shore, upholstery supplier Culp Inc. said it will close two more U.S. plants, eliminating 185 jobs.
The company's remaining upholstery operations in the United States will be consolidated into an existing plant in Anderson, S.C., employing about 150 workers.
Rob Culp III, ceo, said, "We have made considerable progress in changing our product strategy, reducing our manufacturing complexities, and improving our cost structure in the U.S. upholstery fabric business. At the same time, we have been diligently growing our China-produced business."
Culp said the closing will result in pre-tax charges of about $7.3 million, mostly in the form of non-cash items, to be divided between the third and fourth quarters.

In the wrong ?
Hello all ! I'm looking for some honest opinion.. We've had work done before but thru a major company that handled everything, permits etc.. We decided to have work done by a contractor where both of us agreed to just do the job without pulling a permit. Long story short we got busted and had to stop work. We rec'd a permit but the inspector instituted a fine. I had NO CLUE a fine could occur. If I did I would have got off my lazy rear and pulled a permit. What I was having done was not worth risking a fine for. My question is is fining a contractor a common occurance ? Should the contractor have known this is could happen if stopped by the inspector ? I feel compelled to pay 1/2 the fine but am not happy that this possibility was never discussed between us. Thanks all.
Sorry to hear that, I don't think you can ask the contractor for the fine though, because it is really the home owner who is responsible for the permit, unless you have writing from the contractor he will apply the permit for you or he told you permit is not required in writing... then you can sue him/her at small claim court, even that you have to pay for the fine first then get him to small claim court for the damage... but if you do not have anything in writing, you have almost no chance on winning ...
Do you mind sharing with us how much the fine is, for us home owner to watch out in the future what magnitude of consequence when building without a permit... is the fine related to the value of the project or is it a fix fine...
thanks for the reply. The fine is $1500. From day 1 though the inspector said he was going to fine the contractor, that he should have known better about working without a permit. In our subsequent conversations he said he was fining the contractor and sure enough he did. I picked up the permit but didnt pay the fine. It was just easier for us to not get a permit (now i know better and it wasnt that painful) and not once did we discuss being fined as a penalty - or else I wouldnt have even attempted. Nothing was being done on the sly, the truck was out in plain day. I just cant believe a contractor would even risk working knowing that a fine was a possibility
As a licensed and registered General Contractor.....
I agree with KUI****G, and town building inspectors in my region agree as well-
However, I believe that the Contractor has a serious responsibility to inform the Home/Property owner of the laws and the consequences (Since the contractor is supposed to know more about these matters than the homeowner - we have the code books, updates, etc.)
In your case, he agreed to not pull a permit, and that was it. We always insist on pulling the necessary permits, unless the property owner insists that they don't want one. In that case, we may walk away....
Under the circumstances mentioned, I can see where he bore some weight of the 'wrong' - since he didn't inform you of the repercussions, etc.
Only once did we have a job where the Homeowner got hit with a fine. We were repairing a deck and ended up extending it a small amount. An angry neighbor called it into the town.
Since it was already completed, the Building inspector directed that a permit application be applied & paid for and instead of the $50 fee for it. There amount was tripled to $150.00.
We paid for it, because the HO was unaware of the laws, and it was our responsibilty to have it taken care of. In our area: any structural deck work requires a permit.
BTW - The building inspector was great to deal with, he just gave a slap on the wrist and said don't worry about it - neighbor problems. He retired a few years after that - nice guy.
thanks for the info... I'm not guilt free that is for sure. I know he thinks working with a permit is a pain in the *. and would rather not. Something to do with their schedules and his etc etc. And if I wanted something against code, well that benefitted me. But if he was working under the assumption that I would be bearing all penalties then I'm :furious: . Especially since the only I thing I thought I had to worry about was the ceasation of work with the possible removal of completed work (which I didnt think would occur). Ignorance has it's price that's for sure.
In theory, there are really two penalties:
- one is penalty for home owner allow somthing done on their home without permit
- one is penalty for licensed contractor working on a project knowing that it does not have a permit.
If you thihk about it, if authority does not give a break, they can fine both parties for the two different reasons... I am glad to hear that the authority give you a break, the authority can fine the contractor using different way, suspend their license or a different fine amount...
anyhow, I am talking from my own opinion though...
A contractor willing to start the job without a permit is very liable to do other corner cutting manuevers. Watch out there very well could be other problems coming with this contractor...
Bottom line comes back to the contractor KNEW he needed a permit, and was willing to let you decide he didn't need one. If I let a HO talk me into this (which would never happen) I would expect the person who decided to hold the responsibility of paying the consequenses (fine). Like Dave said, what other corners was this guy willing to cut?
Some areas are stricter than others though
He may be surprised to be fined if they are usually lenient in your area, but he knew it was a possibility
There's very few ways to become a contractor where that point is not hammered home
It wasn't worked out who would would pay if caught, he knew the risks
I think he bears the burden
He should consider that a tuition payment
But why did the two of you decide not to pull a permit?
That may have some bearing
Like the others, I'm wondering if he was willing to do that, I'd wonder if he has liability ins. or lic. etc...

Husband changes version as Magistrate warns couple of arrest
A husband changed evidence he had given in court today after a magistrate warned that he would arrest him and his wife until the police investigated who of them was lying under oath.
The couple are undergoing separation proceedings.
The woman testified that her estranged husband had, in a phone call, threatened to kill her.
At one point of the call, the man told her: "You've been provoking me for long and whereas before I hit to hurt you, this time I'll hit you to kill you."
Sobbing throughout her testimony, the woman said she still loved her former husband and had filed a police report over what he had told her. This led them to issue charges.
The magistrate then asked the husband whether he had made the threat. He denied having said those words.
Magistrate Peralta then ordered the couple's arrest and asked the police to investigate them for perjury.
However before going ahead with his order, he gave them another chance and warned them that if they were caught lying under oath, they could be imprisoned for a year.
When the case continued, the man said he wanted to change his previous version and admitted to the charges.
The woman insisted that she still loved her husband and that it was he who preferred her colleague over her. She said she had seen photos of the two kissing on Facebook.
Magistrate Peralta called the two lawyers to his bench and after a brief discussion was informed that the woman was withdrawing the criminal complaint she had filed.
The magistrate revoked his arrest order and warned the man to speak to his wife only on issues related to their children or maintenance, which he had been informed he was not paying.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt was awarded a compensation package valued at $245,322 in 2009, according to documents filed this week with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. His total compensation fell 52% compared to 2008, when his pay package was valued at $508,764.
CEO payday: How much tech's top execs made in 2009
The bulk of Schmidt's 2009 pay is tied to perks, which include $233,542 for personal security and $10,119 for air travel costs for his family and friends. In 2008, Google paid $402,562 for Schmidt's personal security and $106,201 for his family and friends' air travel costs.
Schmidt also received a $1 salary and $1,660 bonus in 2009. He didn't receive any new stock or option awards during the year, nor did Sergey Brin or Larry Page. (Schmidt currently owns 9.4 million Google shares, Brin owns 28.5 million and Page owns 29.1 million.)
As a company, Google grew revenue 9% and increased its profit 28% in its 2009 fiscal year, ended Dec. 31. Revenue came in at $23.7 billion, up from $21.8 billion in 2008. Net income hit $6.5 billion, up from $4.2 billion a year earlier.

intense algebra
posted by cain .
which value is the closest to 1/9.24/25
a. 0
b. 0.5
c. 1
d. 21/20
It is indeed "intense" if I can't figure out what you mean.
well my computer don't have the symbol i need. let my put it in words then one ninth times 24 over 25
(1/9) * (24/25) = 24/225 = 0.10666
thank you sue
You're welcome. Your question was clear when you put it into words.
Please note the way we write such a problem on the computer.
Notice that you do not really need to do any calculating. I suspect that this is an exercise in estimation.
24/25 is just about one
so the answer is about 1/9
which is close to 1/10
so we are really talking about something around 0.1
which is a lot closer to zero than it is to the other choices.

What is it?
Abu Garcia's new Veritas Micro Guide rods (and a few new models).
What does it do?
Veritas rods were introduced a while back and made waves with their white blanks and high-tech assets (lightweight NanoTechnology, anodized aluminum reel clamp). Now Veritas rods have grown even more angler-friendly with the addition of micro guides and some new actions.
Why do I need it?
To lighten your load while on the water, as well as work your baits more effectively through precise rod actions. Check out Garcia's website for specifics on all the new models available. Plus, these high-performance rods retail for less than $100.
How do I use it?
Like any other rod, but with the advantages of micro guides (see next section).
What sets it apart?
The subjective aspects of micro guides are heightened sensitivity, longer and smoother casts. The smoothness supposedly comes from the guides keeping the line in check and allowing less line slap (when the line bounces off the blank as it flies off the reel and through the guides). While these qualities are debatable, what's not is the fact that micro guides are must-haves for anglers looking to carry the lightest gear possible. Garcia's got five new rods with micro guides, along with two heavy-duty Winch series rods, and a few two-piecers. Oh, a beastly 7-11 flipping stick is on the shelves. Plus, everyone will know what sort of rods you're wielding with those fancy white blanks. Weights start at 3.9 ounces (6-6 medium action).
How much?
All Veritas rods are $99.95, regardless of length, action and micro guides or not.

Week In Review: Wandy Gone, Grilli Back, Prospect Reports, Mock Drafts
The big news this week was the departure of Wandy Rodriguez, who was designated for assignment by the Pirates. Rodriguez will be replaced in the rotation by Brandon Cumpton, who has an opportunity to claim his spot for good. Ryan Palencer wrote about why the choice of Cumpton from Triple-A was the obvious one to make for the Pirates. I revisited the Rodriguez trade, which sent Robbie Grossman, Rudy Owens, and Colton Cain to Houston in 2012.
**Earlier in the week, I wondered how long the Pirates could give Edinson Volquez. I think Volquez will get a longer leash than Rodriguez. He has shown flashes of good performances this year, which is something we barely saw out of Rodriguez. He also has better numbers, and his ERA has been inflated by an unlucky HR/FB ratio. After a good start this ...

MHS boys soccer squad's late rally fall short
With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Madras White Buffalos boys soccer team nearly completed a comeback for the ages in a 3-2 loss to La Salle Prep on Thursday at Madras High School.
A win would have kept the Buffs in playoff contention, but the loss essentially eliminated them coupled with the 3-1 loss to North Marion last Tuesday.
Trailing 3-0 with 15 minutes left in the match, the Buffs somehow found some life and put together some of the best soccer they've played all year with a pair of goals, and nearly a third to tie it up.
In the 73rd minute, freshman Gustavo Pacheco received a throw-in from Carlos Garcia and carried the ball down to the right edge of the 18-yard penalty area.
With hardly no shooting angle at the goal, Pacheco let one fly anyway - and somehow it went in.
Pacheco's shot sailed over the goalkeeper's head and had just the slightest amount of draw to make it slide inside the far post and into the side netting for the Buffs' first goal of the match.
Two minutes later, with the Buffs pressuring the Falcons' goal, a La Salle player committed an obvious foul in the penalty area, so the center official pointed to the 12-yard spot and awarded the Buffs a penalty kick with four minutes in the match remaining.
Senior Carlos Garcia, playing in his final home match as a Buff, drove a shot low and hard past the diving La Salle goalkeeper to give his team a chance, now trailing just 3-2.
Madras had a couple opportunities to tie the match with shots late in the half, but the best came from David Madrigal.
He smacked a shot from about 25 yards out that got through some traffic and made the goalkeeper have to make an amazing sprawling save to keep the match from being tied at 3-3.
"There's just no quit in this group," Madras head coach Clark Jones said. "As far as records go, this is a down year, but our guys played incredibly hard, and incredibly well for that last part of the match."
The game was played under the lights on the football field during Homecoming Week, rather than on the soccer fields across the street from the football stadium with no lights on them.
One of the big problems that has plagued the Buffs all year has been allowing goals early in the match, and that stung them again.
In the sixth minute, La Salle won a free kick from about 30 yards away from the goal. The ball was served into a sea of players in the penalty area, and a Falcon put his head on it and knocked it in the net.
The Buffs finished their season at Molalla, the defending state champions, on Tuesday. The result was not available by the Pioneer's press deadline.

Not having a default route in the router network is a great way to minimise the impact of malware on the corporate environment. This practice enforces that gateways are used for all external communications.Code:http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=1537
1. Enforces the use of proxy gateways for external communications.
2. Malicious packets can be dropped or sent to a centralised server for analysis.
3. Reduces the potential impact of misconfigured software through enforcing no internet connectivity.
4. Makes malware infection easy to spot (if analysing all dropped packets).
I'd recommend implementing this with a split DNS to increase the difficulty of malware "phoning home" as the internal network cannot resolve external addresses. The DNS server could be configured to log all unresolved addresses for further malware indication.
Note that the above tip does not ask you to remove the default route off your end systems (user workstations) - chances are that many services needed in a corporate environment (like financial news feeds) will need to have a default route on the workstation. But if, in your network core, you can get away with only advertising and routing those external networks that are actually needed, you have made a huge step to secure your network. As indicated above, the newly un-used "default route" should then be made to point to a "darknet" where you have nothing except logging and packet collection capability.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Are you sick of key lime pies that taste treacly, like green-color candy? Yet you live in South Florida and, damn it, when visitors come to call, they expect the local confection. Fret not, there is hope. Oddly enough it comes from sternly dressed German Baptists. More than a half century old, the Knaus Berry Farm in Homestead is rightly celebrated for its pecan rolls and fresh strawberries. On weekends between the middle of November and the last Saturday of April, customers brave long lines to buy fresh pastries and milkshakes from these traditionalists, whose long beards and conservative clothes often cause people to mistake them for Amish. The key to their key lime pie, they say, is the topping. These Baptists use cream cheese in place of whipped cream. They also exercise a puritanical control over the sugar in the lime filling. The result is a sublime and sophisticated interplay of tartness and sweetness, truly a proper dessert with coffee after dinner. At $6.50 for a small pie that serves about five, this treat is moderately priced. Those who arrive at the farm late in the day are unlikely to find any left.
Let's face it, a bowl of black bean soup can be a bounty of blasé. But the chefs at these little Mexican diners add a magical elixir to their pot: a splash of beer, Dos Equis Special Lager, to be precise. That's why they call it drunken bean soup. You won't get a beer buzz, but the effect is definitely euphoric. A dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese (which you can ask them to hold) round out the unexpectedly flavorful recipe. Please, señor, some more. ¡Ándale!
It's Tuesday afternoon and you're craving chicken feet again. You had the little morsels just two days ago, but that didn't do the trick. At the same meal you scarfed turnip cakes, steamed shrimp dumplings, sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf, baked roast pork buns, spare ribs with black bean sauce, rice noodles har mon, and for dessert, steamed buns filled with lotus seed paste. Still it wasn't enough. The succulent feet remain on your brain. If you had your way, you would eat dim sum at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days a week. Lucky for you, at Kon Chau you can. Open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday, the restaurant offers about 50 dim sum items at any time of the day, unlike other restaurants that leave you hankering for the stuff until the weekend comes. Nothing fancy here: No steam cart being rolled around by a snooty driver who refuses to reveal what exactly is on your little plate. Kon Chau offers all dim sum prepared to order. Exceptional edibles and efficient, courteous service are just two good reasons to dine here. The third: incredibly cheap prices. Two people can eat until they burst for less than 20 bucks. Now that's a lot of chicken feet.
Contrary to popular belief, the Italians didn't invent pizza. The Greeks did, who in turn got the idea from the enterprising Etruscans, who used focaccia as plates. But the Italians certainly improved the dish. In Naples they added tomato sauce, and in the late Nineteenth Century the classic Margherita (four-cheese pizza) was invented and named for the then-queen of Italy. Elsewhere in the country, pizzaiolos, or pizza makers, vied with each other to create the most original toppings, using whatever local ingredients they could lay their flour-covered hands on, including cured meats like prosciutto and soppressata and homegrown vegetables such as olives and eggplant. You can see the fruits of this ancient labor at Spris, which offers delicate, thin-crust pizzas, similar to the ones found in Naples, for contemporary consumption. Owned by the folks who run Tiramesu, only a few doors away, Spris satisfies the pizzaiolo in all of us by offering more than 30 choices, including the tonnata (with tuna, onion, and basil), the gamberetti (with shrimp and arugula), and of course, the Margherita.
It's probably no surprise that this dynamic but industrial-looking place is noisy: Most of the mod décor is metallic. Talk about reverb. Not only that, China Grill Management owns this Asian noodle shop, and this particular restaurant group seems to excel in creating high-end eateries that are sweet to the taste but hard on the eardrum. Sitting outside at the café tables probably won't help much, given that Lincoln Road is overwhelmed with crying babies and whining tourists these days. Still you might as well get used to it if you want to slurp up some yummy duck-topped egg noodles or vibrant curry-infused rice noodles (all reasonably priced). There's no use complaining: No one will be able to hear you.
"Wait, let me get you a warm one," the counter clerk says as he hovers a hand above the trays of doughy bagels. In no time his heat-seeking fingers land on a poppy-seed bagel that's as piping hot as it is flush with flavor. At Bagels & Co. freshness is never in question. Beyond fresh, the bagels are unusually dense and chewy, with a nice flavor. There are more than a dozen varieties available, all of which, we've found after extensive research, are extremely satisfying. The bialys (a kind of puffy, holeless bagel with onions on top) are the best we've ever seen. And did we mention how fresh everything is? And warm? And chewy?

While ultra thin HDTVs were clearly the primary theme of IFA this year LG - though a fully signed up member of this club - also had a couple of noteworthy PMPs doing the rounds.
Setting their sights clearly on the iPod touch are the 'T80' (above) and rather more glamorously - if confusingly - named 'Touch Cinema MP3' (below). Both share a number of commonalities: touchscreen, finger friendly interfaces (why not just put them on a phone, LG?), up to 8GB of onboard memory, FM tuners, flash based games and the company's own '3D Sound Effect' audio processing engine.
Where they differ however is significant: the T80 features a 3in LCD and the Euro friendly DVB-T standard for viewing mobile TV while the Touch Cinema is a straightforward multimedia player with a 2.2in screen.
Happily, in use both are intuitive and the response from their touchscreens is sharp enough to suggest the company is now using the snappier capacitive (a la iPhone / iPod touch) rather than resistive touch technology.
No official prices or release dates were available but LG did say to me they'd certainly be here in time to fill our Santa sacks. Promising stuff...

RON BURGUNDY doesn't quite get AFL, but he wants Aussie footy fans to stay "classy" anyway.
The Anchorman star has sent out a message for Australians on Grand Final day - and apologised that he couldn't be here to join in on the commentary.
"Boy oh boy, wowee," Burgundy said in the YouTube address, seemingly paying homage to to the popular catchphrase of AFL commentator Brian Taylor, "what a day it is for Australian sports fans, a day when the nation stops to watch men with tight shorts and low IQs chasing someone called 'Sherrin'.
"I was asked to join the panel of the Saturday night footy news team for your Grand Final day," Burgundy said before adding that a restraining order issued by a prominent Australian AFL writer prevented him travelling Down Under for the gig.
"I shouldn't have suggested you interview me in my jacuzzi. but that's just the kind of man I am."
No, you stay classy, Burgundy.

A Tradition of Excellence
|Looking back at the history of the program, alumni, faculty and peer reviewers agree that much of the East Asian Studies program's success reflects the vision of the program's founding faculty.
"Part of the reason that we have been able to establish such a program is the foresight and dedication of Gene Swanger, professor emeritus of religion and the program's founder, Jim Huffman, professor emeritus of history, and Stan Mickel, professor emeritus of languages,"said Jennifer Oldstone-Moore, the program's current director. "This is really true because not only did they have the idea, but they went for grants to expand the program, added many cultural events, and also pushed themselves to learn and teach about East Asia, not just for their own expertise. Thus you had Stan Mickel, language professor and expert on Chinese oracle bones (c. 1300 BC), teaching about modern Japan in EAS 100."
"We have colleagues who really combine what Wittenberg is all about," said Jim Huffman prior to his retirement. "They are really active scholars."
"The diversity of faculty and breadth of courses also keep us competitive," Swanger added.
As part of Saturday's celebration, Swanger, Huffman and Mickel will be recognized.
"Dr. Swanger came to Wittenberg with the foresight and vision to create the East Asian Studies program as we know it today," wrote the student editors of the internationally known East Asian Studies Journal, produced at Wittenberg, in the Spring 1999 issue, which they dedicated to Swanger, recipient of the university's top faculty prize, the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Teaching, and appointed to The Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. State Department. "Opting to focus on the then little known area of Chinese and Japanese Studies while at the University of Iowa, Dr. Swanger soon distinguished himself as a leading scholar and educator of Chinese and Japanese religions. ...Without fail, students leave his classroom with an appreciation of the wonders of East Asia and the process of learning."
In addition to working with the Association for Asian Studies and serving on its editorial board, Huffman also earned the respect of his students and colleagues alike, having received three Fulbright Awards in his distinguished career. His teaching honors include the Ohio Academy of History's Distinguished Teaching Award and the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Teaching. Huffman was awarded honorary alumnus status in 2006. The author of six books including A Yankee in Meiji Japan and Japan: A History in Documents, Huffman has also published articles in both Newsweek and The New York Times.
Mickel's passion for Chinese language inspired countless students to learn a language so vastly different from their own. President of AsiaNetwork, a consortium of more than 100 North American colleges, Mickel, like his colleagues, always encouraged students to experience East Asian culture, including organizing an 11-day tour of China for student in 2002. As part of the tour, the students stayed at Chinese-run hotels rather than Westernized ones. Among his more than 25 published works is the definitive Dictionary for Readers of Modern Chinese Prose: Your Guide to 250 Key Grammatical Markers in Chinese.
Together, Swanger, Huffman and Mickel built a program that not only inspires but challenges in ways few schools can claim.

Lowe was 3-0 up before the "Ice Man" staged a stunning comeback to win 4-3.
"Lobo" won the first two sets three legs to one and also took the first two legs of the third set.
Lowe increased his lead to 3-0 by nailing double top, but Warriner edged the fourth set 3-2 before reeling off six legs in a row to level.
The momentum was with Warriner and he took out double eight and four to move within one leg of a famous victory.
But Lowe dug deep and followed up an 11-darter with a superb 138 checkout.
It was almost inevitable that the match would have to be decided by two clear legs - with the scored tied at 2-2 - and it was Warriner who took out double 16 twice to prevail.
Alex Roy will face Warriner in the last 16 after defeating Denis Ovens 4-3 in
Roy won the opening two sets before Ovens checked out on 101 to pull a set back.
Roy edged the fourth set 3-2 with a successful attempt at double eight, but Ovens fought back to win the next two and take it to a decider.
However, Roy kicked again and reeled off the next three legs to take his place in the next round.
"I've got a lot of respect for Denis because he's a great player, but I gave
him too much respect up there," said Roy afterwards.

This is a big year for Courtney Upshaw. He showed well as a run defender last year despite being in poor shape/overweight well into the season, and could have really nailed down a spot for himself in the Ravens' long-term plans if he showed up slimmer and more explosive to add some pass-rushing prowess to his repertoire. Instead, he shows up much bigger even than he was at this time last year and obviously completely out of shape. Don't forget that workout/weight/effort issues dogged Upshaw in college as well, and there is no minimizing what has now become a clear pattern of behavior. He's trending downward and needs to reverse that ASAP.
This is a year for the Ravens to sort out the future on the edges. Suggs has a cap number in 2014 that can only be justified if he bounces back in a huge way this year--which IMO is unlikely given his age and the amount of wear and tear on his body. The Ravens are clearly committed to a youth movement and Suggs doesn't fit that long-term.
Dumervil is likely going to see his whole contract, which is pretty reasonable, but that's only 1 spot locked down and he would probably do well to be spelled on at least some run downs. The spot across from him is going to be up for grabs perhaps as soon as 2014, and who locks down that spot? The team might have envisioned Upshaw as that guy, but they were smart enough to get an insurance policy with John Simon. The two are really polar opposites--Upshaw a highly talented, but unrefined and undisciplined player; Simon a workout warrior with limited natural athleticism. We'll see who's the starter and who's the backup come 2014.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 65
Adjacent Routes
16m. Climb the continuous crack line passing a ledge at 6m and taking care with a couple of rattling holds.
Classic route, not as pumpy as it looks, but continually good, strenuous climbing.
Great route, steep and juggy, always dry. I've know two acquaintances to fall off the very last moves, even though the angle eases and you can stand in balance.
Very juggy with good gear.
Nice holds, a short tricky section after the ledge is what I found most taxing. Really good fun.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
You'll suspect you're being cheated this week but it's just your imagination. Before you go making wild accusations be sure you know the facts. Thursday will be a day for love and laughter. Enjoy!
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
This week, you'll want to do something for people less fortunate. Charity of all kinds is well starred, so do something that makes the world a better place for others and it will be a better place for you, too.
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
You'll have whatever it takes to meet any challenge this week, and it will be unlike anything you've faced before. You're about to enter uncharted territory. Conquer it and make it your own.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Go out of your way to be nice to people this week, even those who usually go out of their way to be nasty to you. Others will respond to the pleasant side of your nature, quite possibly by putting money in your pocket.
Gemini (May 22 - Jun 21)
If you promise something this week you must keep that promise, particularly on the work front, where you'll do your reputation great harm if you fail to live up to your word. If you don't mean it, don't say it.
Cancer (Jun 22 - Jul 23)
Common sense should tell you your recent worries weren't worth the effort and that your luck depends as much on how you approach life as on what life does to you. You're not a victim so stop acting like one.
Leo (Jul 24 - Aug 23)
You will need patience this week, especially when it comes to money issues. Something you want to proceed smoothly will get held up and although it may be frustrating there's nothing you can do about it.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sep 23)
Even if you prefer others to profess their undying love for you, rather than the other way around, you must leave partners and loved ones in no dou
Libra (Sep 24 - Oct 23)
All will be right with your world this week. The right thing will happen at the right time and if something you want to happen doesn't, it can only be because the powers that be know it's not in your interests.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Your creativity will help you to devise an unusual solution to a problem that's been bothering you for some time. Trust your intuition and don't listen to those who say you are taking too many risks.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You'll be in one of your suspicious moods this week, believing that something you should know about is going on and people are keeping it from you. That's not true. The world is not out to get you.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
You'll find it easy to be ruthless this week, especially with those who take you for granted. Get rid of the hangers-on and you'll find you have more time for the people who really matter.

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, organizers of Valley Art's Annual Artist Event decided to bring Paris in for the party.
Dancers, musicians, authors, fortune-tellers, winemakers and more will all share their crafts on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at the opening of this year's annul art sale in Forest Grove.
Valley Art's "Nuit Blanche" or "The Sleepless Night" will be modeled after an evening in Paris when art galleries and museums, not generally open at night, host artistic exhibitions, book readings and performances.
The event will coincide with downtown Forest Grove's First Wednesday activities.
The Nomadic Theatre Company, a Portland acting ensemble, will perform expressive, nonverbal entertainment on the street.
Stilt-walker Heather Peal Cromie and her companion street performer will entertain the crowds.
Portlander Adam Hurst, an accomplished musician and composer, will play electric cello.
Fortune teller CJ Stuart will provide insight via tarot cards.
And of course, as any good Parisian party would have, there will be wine to taste from Kramer Vineyards.
'We wanted to do somthing different,' said Jeanne Levy, organizer for the event. 'We really hope it will help sales.'
The entertainers were hired with money from the Forest Grove Arts Commission and the City Club.
'The merchants downtown are very enthusiastic to provide ideas and invite the community,' said Levy.
The events will start with a private art unveiling from 4:30-6 p.m., when members are allowed first pick and 10-percent off the art sale that will run Nov 12.
The gallery will be open to the public from 6-9 p.m.
From one-of-a-kind cups and saucers for tea drinkers to beautiful photographs for nature lovers to arty outdoor sculptures for gardeners - Valley Art boasts quite a selection.
Organizers say that shopping the sale is a great opportunity to buy unique gifts from Pacific Northwest artists. In addition, Valley Art has a time-payment plan. It works well for paintings that would be unaffordable otherwise.
This year, 62 artists will participate in the annual sale a display of all new pieces.
Jewelers Jim and Lynda Hayes, metal sculptor Tim Tanner, painters Bob Schlegel and Walt Weber, wood artist Paul Rasmussen, and photographers Jean Noren and Patricia Edmonds are among the area artists whose work will be for sale.
Pottery, a popular gift art, will be represented by 25 artists.
The event is one the oldest Valley Art traditions and one of the big fund-raisers - it has brought in about $12,000 a year for the non-profit gallery, which sees revenues drop after the holiday season.
'It provides a good cushion for Valley Art throughout the year,' said Levy.
Valley Art keeps 35 percent - one of the lowest commissions in the area - and the rest goes to the artists.

War With French Government Over Taxes
Gerard Depardieu At War With French Government Over Taxes
Watch The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Online
. This year Parks and Recreation's sulking beauty Aubrey Plaza made strides toward becoming a leading lady in film with her starring role in the quirky indie romance Safety Not Guaranteed. There she played into the cynical twenty-something niche she's been known for, before attempting to turn the clichéd character on its head when her snarky heroine falls for a guileless dreamer who believes he can time travel. The film won praise out of Sundance, and now that it's headed overseas, Plaza's doing more press and revealing details on an intriguing new project.
Watch Life of Pi Online
. Speaking with the U.K.'s Guardian, Plaza dished that she and John C. Reilly would be co-starring in a new comedy called Life After Beth. She was reluctant to share too many details, but confessed it would involve zombies and is "a really fucked-up movie." Plaza has close personal ties to this zombie comedy's screenwriter Jeff Baena. Best-known for co-writing the philosophical comedy I Heart Huckabees, Baena is Plaza's live-in boyfriend, and will make his directorial debut on Life After Beth. The film will also mark the first time Plaza and Reilly have worked together on screen.
Watch The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Online
. Actor Gerard Depardieu is furious with French President Francois Hollande, and he wants every last person in his native country to know why. Following the governments decision to raise taxes to 75% on all income over $1.3 million, the longtime star moved to a small town in Belgium just over the border. His move prompted government officials to release statements calling him pathetic, but if you take it from Depardieu, the only thing pathetic is the idiotic new tax policy.
Watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 Online
. Writing in an open letter published in Le Journal du Dimanche, Depardieu says hes happily paid more than $190 million in taxes over the last forty-five years and currently employs eighty-five people, but its positively ridiculous to pay seventy-five cents out of every dollar you make to the government. So, for the time being, hell continue living in Belgium, and if Hollande has a problem with that, Depardieu will turn in his French passport. France has always been known for the large amount of government services it offers and its relatively high tax rates, but under Socialist President Hollande, the country has pushed even further toward the left.
Watch The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Online
. Over the last year, many others have left France including Johnny Hallyday and Alain Delon. If the high taxes continue, its likely many more will follow too. Theres a difference between moving to a different country to avoid paying a little extra money in taxes and moving to a different country because newly elected politicians have dramatically increased taxes to penalize wealth. You can do all kinds of crazy things with a cell phone nowadays. The picture quality has gotten so good and connecting to computers and the Internet has gotten so easy that the possibilities are more limited by the imagination than the technology itself.
Watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 Online
. Kurt Hugo Schneiders newest video is a pretty good indication of that. Armed with three Sprint smart phones, an arsenal of classic holiday songs and some incredible voices, the filmmaker put together a fast paced, must watch medley of cheer and technological wonder. Take a look at the awesomeness below The great thing about this video is it does so much without ever coming across as busy. It gives most of the cool little tricks at least a few seconds to breath, allowing viewers to properly appreciate the coolness and to brace themselves for whatever is coming next.
Watch The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Online
. Plus, it really helps that performers Victoria Justice and Max Schneider have pleasant, professional sounding voices. That really takes this from feeling like a cool trick to a genuine music video.
Over the next few weeks, there will no doubt be dozens of other holiday medleys passed around the Internet. If some of them are roughly as good as this, we should all be in for plenty of smiles. A remake of the PC classic Karateka will have you trying to save the day as multiple character classes, each stronger than the next. Labyrinth Legends is exactly what it sounds like, offering lots of twisty dungeons to dive into with fun loot and puzzles to solve.
The newest gameplay trailer for Company of Heroes 2 showcases the online multiplayer for the World War 2 RTS game. Players will be able to re-enact Eastern Front battles with several friends. CoH2 supports 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 online matches. Developer Relic Entertainment also promises more features, maps and modes than ever. Details were slim on those subjects, though. The trailer's just a collection of random battle scenes. Relic created a new version of their proprietary Essence engine. The Essence 3.0 engine introduces destructible environments and dynamic weather among other improvements. You can find out more about the game's technology by watching the recent developer diary. If you're interested in playing the beta, you can find sign-up details here. Relic previously stated that the beta would begin in early 2013. The beautiful Knytt Underground will make its way to the PS3 and Vita, providing a light Metroidvania adventure in a dark and mysterious world. Finally, mobile game Burn the Rope will be made available on the Vita, alongside new mini, Hotel Mogul. Check out the above link to the PS Blog for more details on these games and additional information about this week's PlayStation Network update, which will go live Tuesday afternoon.

"Beautiful old church in the Mount Vernon area of Baltimore. Pastor Craig Moore officiated and was wonderful in the pre-marital counseling sessions as well as in designing out ceremony. We live in Atlanta so working with him long-distance was important - he was very flexbile and accomodating. A few small negatives - the church is very expensive relative to others (though worth it in terms of Pastor Moore and the venue itself), and the organist wasn't the easiest to plan with or communicate with."

The tungsten itself becomes oxidized after putting down a certain amount of weld beads. You'll notice the tungsten becoming light grey or off white. This means it's time to change the tungsten. The strength of the arc will deminish from the oxidation on the tungsten tip. Allowing the tungsten to stick out too far or removing the tungsten from the completed weld before post purge cooling of the weld will decrease the effectiveness of the tungsten which will have to be reground and balled up using DC-Positive as mentioned on my previous post.
The oxidation on the aluminum requires alot more heat than the aluminum itself because aluminum oxide on the surface melts at 3,700 F while the base material melts at around 1,200 F so that is why it is critical to remove the oxidation before welding. Also degreasers work best to prepare the weld, but make sure the degreaser doesn't contain hydrocarbons. Cleaning aluminum can be done simply with soap and water. I've done this many times with great success. Etching soultion is also an option for cleaning the material. Before beginning to weld use a stainless steel brush and brush ONLY in one direction. DO NOT brush heavly on the area to be welded or you could add contaminates to the weld.
And again I'd like to remind that a GAS LENS is critical for the cleanist welds possible regardless of the material being welded. The standard is a collet body but the gas lens body consists of a series of coarse and fine screens inside the collet body which gives better shielding of argon on the weld and provides optimum laminar gas flow to allow your welds to look their best. The gas lens also allows the tungsten to be extended out further for improved weld joint access.

Stretch Marks
When skin gets stretched too fast, as it can when you gain weight quickly, such as during pregnancy, or if you went through a growth spurt as a teenager, "the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis rupture," says clinical professor Richard G. Glogau. The result is scars deep within the skin―stretch marks. New ones are red or dark brown, because the skin becomes inflamed when the fibers break. (You might also notice a change in texture, as if your skin has little divots in it.) With time, most stretch marks lighten in color.
What Works
- Pulse dye laser (for newer stretch marks): The light from this laser is absorbed by the pigment in the irritated area, which heats the blood vessels and makes the vessel walls collapse, says dermatologist David Goldberg. The color is reduced significantly, so marks are much less obvious. (But divoting will still be apparent.) You'll need about five treatments, spaced one month apart.
Cost: $500 to $800 per treatment, depending on the size of the affected area.
- Excimer laser (for older marks): The beam "increases pigment production, so eventually the silver or white lines become the color of the rest of your skin," says Goldberg. This type of laser requires 10 to 20 treatments, spaced about two weeks apart.
Cost: $200 to $700 per treatment.
What Doesn't Work
Over-the-counter stretch mark creams, which claim to rebuild collagen but don't.
Quick Cover-Up
A self-tanner "helps minimize the look of both new and older marks," says makeup artist Lusine. For the most even coverage, exfoliate the area before applying.

It's time for our all-new Modern Block of the Month sew-along with designer Alyssa Lichner from Pile o' Fabric! You can learn more about Alyssa and see some of her quilt designs in her introduction. Our first BOM series was tons of fun so we're excited to do it again. (You can sew-along with the first series any time; jump right in.) This second BOM series features extra-large blocks and it's a great way to learn some new skills. You can also download a PDF version of the block tutorial each month (see below). Our second Modern BOM series runs for six months; we hope you'll sew along with us!
Here's our BOM2 Flickr group. Share your version of this block within two weeks in the pool and we'll give a $30 gift certificate to Sew,Mama,Sew! to one lucky sew-along participant!
Modern BOM 2 // Up From Here // March Block #1
Welcome to the Sew,Mama,Sew! Modern BOM 2. Each of our six BOM blocks are a "jumbo" 24.5″ before sewn into the quilt. The finished quilt measures 62.5″ x 88.5″ which is a large throw/twin size. If you'd like to buy yardage for the full quilt here are the full requirements:
Full Quilt Yardage:
Fabric A: 1/2 yard (Kona Khaki)
Fabric B: 1 1/8 yard (Kona Azure)
Fabric C: 1 3/4 yard (Kona Curry)
Fabric D: 3/8 yard (Kona Snow)
Fabric Background and Borders (BG): 5 yards (Kona Charcoal)
I look forward to quilting along with you all for the next six months! Before we begin making our blocks I would like to go over a few prerequisites:
Keys to Precise Piecing
Starching Your Fabric
I believe one of the absolutely most crucial steps to achieving precise piecing when quilting is the use of starch. Properly starching your fabric will stabilize the fibers in the fabric which can help prevent against stretching and distortion along the bias. I have a detailed video tutorial at my blog Pile O' Fabric which walks you through how to properly starch your fabric in preparation for cutting.
Accurate Cutting
Once you have starched your fabric it's time to cut. The more accurate your cutting is the more accurate your piecing will be. Here are some things that could help the accuracy of your cuts.
- Install a new sharp rotary blade and make sure you are using a fairly new cutting mat. If your mat has too many slashes in it, it can effect your cutting.
- Use a ruler grip like Omni-grid Invisigrip. This can stick to the bottom of your rulers to help prevent against slipping.
- Do your cutting on a clear open table, preferably one in which you can walk completely around. If at any time when cutting you need to switch directions you can walk to the other side of the table instead of having to rotate your fabric.
- If cutting along the width of fabric (WOF) be sure to check often that your cut line is still straight. You may need to trim up your yardage every so often, before cutting again.
- Before you cut a piece double check you have the right measurement. Check twice, cut once.
- After you have cut, check your pieces one more time to make sure they are perfect. Even a slight 1/8" or wonky corner will affect your overall piecing.
Perfect Scant 1/4" seams
One of the most important keys to precise piecing is accurate seam allowances. If each seam allowance is one tiny hair off and you have 20 seam allowances, you will have a considerable problem. Usually when your blocks come out too small it's due to an incorrect seam allowance. You may often hear quilters say to use a "scant" 1/4" seam allowance. Basically this is a seam allowance that is one stitch width shy of a full 1/4". There are several ways to achieve a scant 1/4".
- Test your seam allowance on a scrap and measure it. The stitch line should fall under the 1/4" mark on the ruler, not outside of it. Then sew two pieces together and press your seams open. Measure the seam allowance that is pressed open; it should be exactly 1/2".
- Use a 1/4" piecing foot for your machine and make sure to piece a stitch width shy of the edge. (Some machines even have a scant foot.) If you can't find a special foot for your machine you can mark the "sweet spot" on your machine with painters tape.
To Pin or Not to Pin?
Another important step to achieve accurate piecing is using pins. Now I can't say I use pins every single time I am piecing something. Oftentimes I use pins when I really need something to stay in place, or when I am piecing long rows together. Another option besides pins is using a little dab of Elmer's Washable glue in the seam line. Press the glued seam with a hot iron to heat set it and you're ready to sew; nothing should move. The glue is temporary and will not harm your fabric. When you're ready you can pop the seam back open.
Pressing your Seams
Finally, the last key to achieving accurate piecing is pressing your seams as you sew. I strongly encourage you to have a hot iron and pressing board right beside you and your machine as you are piecing your blocks. You will see in this BOM that I am not the type of quilter that presses my seams the same way every time. Sometime I press open, sometimes to the dark, sometimes alternating, etc. I usually press whichever direction will help the piecing lay flatter and come together more accurately. In the instructions for the BOM I will always be sure to mention which way to press your seams for each step, so keep an eye out!
Up From Here Block
Tool List:
- 6.5" X 24" Ruler
- Rotary Cutter and Rotary Mat
- Heavy Starch and Iron (I use Best Press Starch.)
- Sewing Pins
- Matching Thread (I use Aurifil 50wt.)
"Up From Here" Block Yardage Requirements:
- (1) Fat Eighth each Fabrics A-D (Kona Khaki, Kona Azure, Kona Curry, Kona Snow)
- 1/2 Yard Fabric Background and Borders (BG: Kona Charcoal)
Block Cutting Instructions:
Fabric A: Kona Khaki
– (1) 4.5″ x 4.5″
– (1) 4.5″ x 8.5″
Fabric B: Kona Azure
– (1) 4.5″ x 4.5″
– (1) 4.5″ x 8.5″
Fabric C: Kona Curry
Fabric C is used for two of the arrows in this block, but you can optionally use a 5th color which would make Fabric E (which I have done in my print version of the block).
– (2) 4.5″ x 4.5″
– (2) 4.5″ x 8.5″
Fabric D: Kona Snow
– (1) 4.5″ x 4.5″
– (1) 4.5″ x 8.5″
Fabric BG: Kona Charcoal
– (3) 4.5″ x 4.5″
– (2) 4.5″ x 8.5″
– (2) 4.5″ x 12.5″
– (2) 4.5″ x 16.5″
Block Instructions:
Step 1: First begin by pressing the fabric you plan to use for this block with starch and a hot dry iron. (Refer to pressing tutorial for accurate pressing instructions). Then use the Block Cutting Guide to cut out the pieces for the block.
Step 2: Lay the pieces out right side up in the order of the block diagram.
Step 3: First begin by piecing the pieces in each column. Start with column one and piece the two pieces together with a scant 1/4" seam.
Step 4: Press your seam OPEN. Piece each of the six columns in this same way.
Step 5: You should now have all six rows pieced together with each seam pressed OPEN.
Step 6: Before you begin piecing your columns together you will see that some of the seams from column to column will need to be carefully lined up.
Step 7: Now we will piece each column together. Lay column two right sides together with column one and carefully line them up. Place pins 1/4" from the edge so that when you sew you wont run over pins or have to take them out.
Step 8: Press all the column seams OPEN. The block should measure 24.5". You now have a finished Up From Here quilt block!
Up From Here in Solids
Up From Here in Prints
For each block I will be making a version in some fun prints. In the print block I used five different Comma prints and a coordinating Kona Solid for the background.
Here are the exact fabrics I used this month:
- Fabric A: Comma Black Chalk ~ Comma
- Fabric B: Swinging Mustard ~ Comma
- Fabric C: Asterisks Black ~ Comma
- Fabric D: Periods Mustard Slate ~ Comma
- Fabric E: News Black ~ Comma
- Fabric BG: Kona Eggshell
I hope you guys have fun making this super sized block. If you would like to print this block lesson out you can download the PDF version here. Be sure to share your BOM progress in the Modern BOM2 Flickr Group!

So what's the yardage for the entire quilt if using the prints, as there is one more fabric than in the solids?
I found this group earlier this week and I'm trying to catch up. I love the blocks posted and the larger size. I know this is mid April and wondered if I missed a block and if I also missed a signup for this group besides being on flickr. If only 6 blocks I am hoping to use fabric from stash. Cannot wait to see next months. For now its time to get busy making blocks.
love 24″ blocks! NOW maybe i'll get to all that other "stuff" i was supposed to do today!!! (;
I am trying to use fabric out of my stash. You stated in the yardage requirements that you need 5 yards for the background and borders. If I use a different fabric for the border, can you give me an estimate on how much I need for the background? I am sure that the fabric I want to use is out of print.
Greetings! Just learned of this new project and looks like fun! Quick ? though on the mock up shown and the fabric specs listed. Looks as though the mock up has a total of 12 blocks. The fabric specs given would be sufficient for a total of 12 blocks? Don't want to buy too little of my fabrics! Thanks!
I'm so excited about this BOM Alyssa! I love making things for my (college age) daughter, and by "things" I mean quilts. Well, she feels she has enough quilts now and has asked for wall hangings lol. These blocks will be perfect for QAYG wall hangings, and based this first one she's going to love them all. Thanks so much for sharing your tremendous creative talent!
I am excited!! I was thinking of making this quilt with some nautical prints as a beach blanket. Any suggestions for a sturdy backing fabric? Or is the whole idea of a quilt for a beach blanket a recipe for How to Destroy a Quilt in 7 Days?
I'm in and had already loved the Comma fabric line — so happy to have an excuse to use it. Off to Etsy to order!
Thank you Alyssa, this is such a great block! I am looking forward to seeing all the other designs in the coming months!
You have done it again Alyssa, another 'little' project that I can't ignore. March block looks amazing so I am sure the rest of it will be gorgeous as well. I leave for the US on May 1st for a month, but I will definitely catch up when I get back. Thanks for all your hard work for us 'newbies' it is very much appreciated.
I think this is going to be great fun. I like the idea of using solids.
@Lisabeth Not silly at all. Each month we will be making different blocks, there will be 6 total different ones.
The additional quilt photo is just for your reference. It will show what an entire quilt would look like if you were to make multiple of a block.
For my quilt I am making all my blocks with the Kona Solids in the color shown above. If you plan to make the entire sampler quilt with all six blocks than use the yardage requirements up top to order your fabric.
I am making a second set of blocks in different prints each month just to show an example of how I would use prints. I will probably turn those blocks into different items like pillows, wall hangings etc.
This is great and I like the block. Thank you
I love the idea of these oversized blocks. I'm hoping to make a set of pillows. Thanks for this!
curious that some of the info on this page got left out of the .PDF version (yardages for the whole quilt and this block) … I am so far *loving* the concept of these big blocks!!
I love this block and the comma fabric! I'm a VERY new quilter- the one from Phoenix who recently posted on your blog. Can I ask a silly question about this. Are you going to do a completely different block each month? The reason I ask is you show a completed quilt here with this block repeated multiple times… I'm thinking of trying this one… But I'm wondering what the end result will be like. Are you using the same fabric throughout or not necessarily? Thank you! Great instructions!

The effects of driving while drinking are far-reaching for both the intoxicated driver and people sharing the vehicle or the roadway with them. Many people claim to drive while drinking for years without any problems, but new crack downs by law enforcement in response to overwhelming roadway fatalities are making it almost impossible to get away with drunk driving for any length of time. Someone may get by with drinking and driving for a while, but it will catch up with you eventually.
Image Credit and Source
Legal Issues
The most probable effect of driving drunk is arrest. In the state of New York, a person is considered too drunk to drive when their blood alcohol level is .08 percent or higher. Underage persons are under the no tolerance policy, and are over the legal limit at .02 percent. If someone fails to submit to a blood alcohol test after being pulled over for drunk driving, they are considered over the limit by law. Upon conviction, the offender can receive 90 days to six months jail time and suspension or revocation of their driver's license. Repeat offenders are subject to stiffer punishments. New York Drunk Driving Attorneys can advise you of your rights and how to defend yourself if you have been charged with DUI.
The Costs
Aside from bail, fees and fines, court costs and legal fees, a person convicted of drunk driving faces even more consequences. The suspension or revocation of a driver's license makes getting to work, school and social engagements difficult. Many potential employers will not consider hiring anyone who has a drunk driving conviction.
Worst Case Scenario
The above consequences apply if someone is pulled over for driving under the influence. If an accident happens, the consequences are much worse. A fatal accident involving alcohol often results in more criminal charges, such as vehicular manslaughter. Injuries can also be punishable by criminal law. The immediate damages are physical injury or death, medical and/or funeral expenses, auto insurance deductibles, property damage and lost wages by injured persons who miss work. Civil suits by victims are also common.
The long-term damages are even more far-reaching. Auto insurance is usually cancelled after a drunk driving accident or conviction. Physical therapy and continued medical treatment for injured parties can easily run into tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Emotional trauma from auto accidents sometimes leads to long-term therapy with a trained counselor, and the drunk driver may be held legally responsible for these costs. The families of the people killed pay a tremendous emotional price, as do the families of those responsible. Parents, spouses, children and other loved ones often share in the grief and guilt of the drunk driver.
If you or someone you love has been involved in a drunk driving accident, whether as the driver or a victim, seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
