If you read the lower part of my Home page, you know "What this site is not." So I'll just say the actual purpose and motive of my reviews are for reference in regards to overall content. I'm simply writing out what's there, with only a couple paragraphs of my opinion concerning content—we all have one. If a parent reads one of my reviews and doesn't agree with my recommendation of, let's say 17, and instead buys it for a 13 year-old, that's fine with me—it's not my business. I am simply letting interested parties know what's in a game, so they can make an informed and educated decision before making the purchase—everyone needs a choice.
I started this site because, although there are a few others that do something similar, they're most often too vague on content, and allow way too much user input, via user reviews right on the same page. There is a place for user input. However, no offense, but "fact" isn't a badly written opinion—you come to this type of site to find out what you don't know. I have also noticed that many people try to ask things in forums like, "Is it too gory?" or "Does it have the f-word?" or "Can you turn off the blood?" only to be ignored, or worse: "flamed" to death. I don't do that; think of my content reviews as a companion to the more editorial type of game reviews—you can read what the video game press thinks, and then come here to see if it's too objectional (and/or too hard, boring, or badly made) for you, or for your kids.
The content portion of my reviews aren't an opinion on the game's quality—my Pros & Cons list takes care of this—instead, they're long, thought-out and detailed overviews, so you don't have to play through the entire game yourself. If you want to know how much blood, gore, language (if you can turn them off), suggestive themes or anything objectional is in a game, not only will I give you an overall idea, I'll list every specific scene and an accurate gauge on language use, so that content-conscious gamers and parents have an exact description of what a game contains—think of an older relative trying to find an age appropriate game for his/her younger relative.
For gamers looking for a hub to find helpful gaming elements in one place, I list links at the top of every review page. You'll find direct links to each game's Wikipedia page for more info, cover scans, walkthrough/cheats, press reviews from top sites—and to the upper right, links to buy the game in all its platforms, including strategy guides at Amazon (these direct Amazon links earn me a little money each time you complete a purchase, which helps keep my site going, so please shop ;).
I don't regularly review sports, racing, real-time strategy, party, board or online-only games, as there often isn't enough objectional content to mention; most people know what they're getting into when they buy a game in that genre. However, if you want a game like this reviewed, and I don't have it, request it and I will review it. Also, if my review doesn't answer all your questions for a game, if you find a major inaccuracy in a review, you want to see a certain game reviewed, or if you just want to send basic feedback, email me or leave your comments lower on this page.

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -A Christmas gift by a well-known Chicago pastor has landed former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in hot water.
FOX 32 News and our sister station in Detroit have learned that Kilpatrick may have to go back to jail for violating his probation, after he allegedly failed to report the money to authorities.
Kilpatrick was caught on a Wal-Mart security camera last December, counting out $2,000 in cash he just received from a wire transfer. The man who sent him the money? Pastor Corey Brooks, a prodigious fundraiser and growing leader in Chicago's religious community.
"He didn't render any sort of work for it. It was a gift. It was a benevolence gift," Brooks insists. "It was a Christmas gift."
Brooks says he wired Kilpatrick the money after Kilpatrick sent him this letter pleading for help.
"Part of his parole conditions are that he has to report any income, gifts he receives to us during the month. The problem is he reported zero dollars in income, zero dollars in gifts in the month of December."
Michigan authorities are now investigating whether Kilpatrick violated his parole by not reporting the money, which could land him back in prison.
"I would tell the people of Detroit that I'm a pastor and I help a lot of people. I help pastors, I help preachers, I help politicians, I help parents and that's just what I do," Brooks says.
Brooks says he wouldn't be surprised if the former mayor sent similar pleas to other African American clergy around the country. Michigan officials say they will be looking into whether Kilpatrick received other gifts he did not report.

Prepare, Sustain, Thrive and Survive Simply
Alex Jones' uncle, William Hammond, is in a Tyler, Texas, hospital, fighting for his life from a mysterious lung ailment. He is on oxygen and sedated, Mr. Jones said.
Mr. Hammmond's sickness follows on the heels of the death of his son, Peter Hammond, who succumbed to a mysterious lung ailment a few weeks ago, Mr. Jones said on a news show titled, "Mystery Illness Striking America," uploaded to YouTube Dec. 18, 2013.
Mr. Hammond, the father, attributes the mysterious lung illness to chemtrails.
Mr. Jones began discussing the illness after a caller phoned Infowars.com to relay a news report on KHOU11, about a mysterious and fatal lung illness killing people in a Houston hospital. Four of the eight people admitted with the illness have died and two are "very sick." The hospital issued a media release saying it has asked the health department to investigate.
It is unknown whether the Hammonds were stricken by the same lung ailment.
The call comes in at 26:24: "We're going to go to Debbie. talking about mystery illness, state health department. I don't know what she's going to bring up, but I know people are dying everywhere from a weird bacterial pneumonia that also has microplasms and viruses associated with it, which is bioweapons spelled all over it when it's a triple threat. I've had family that's died, people that are almost died [sic], sicknesses…" Jones said.
"About two weeks ago, my cousin, very sweet person, good friend of mine, Peter Hammond died. Got sick one day, died the next, not being able to breathe. Then his uncle, who was taking care of him…has now been sick for three weeks…" Jones said.
Mr. Hammond, a Vietnam Veteran and former helicopter pilot with Special Forces, told Alex Jones he attributes the sickness to chemtrails. *
"My uncle believed it was chemtrails because he was also, you know, a regular pilot and stuff, did all sorts of piloting down in Latin America and things. And he pointed out the lower chemtrails were coming in and actually disappating on the ground."
Mr. Jones asked for prayer for his uncle, whose lungs suddenly look like those of a heavy smoker. "It's really weird because they say his lungs look like he's been smoking five packs of cigarettes his whole life. He's never been a smoker. He was an athlete, Mr. Jones said. "I really love my uncle…You know, he's one of the people that helped wake me up to the New World Order."
Other people in the immediate Jone's family are also fighting a condition with flu-like symptoms, including his children. Jones said he feels fine so far.
"This is killing healthy people, people that are like oxes, young people, children, and there's no media coverage of it. There's no coverage until now," he said, referring to the KHOU11 news article, which is linked from Infowars.com.
*The reference to chemtrails is at 33:38.

There will be nothing different in this year's AFC Championship Game compared to last season. For the second straight year, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
In the NFC, it will be San Francisco traveling to Atlanta, with the Falcons defense trying to stop a versatile, running quarterback for the second straight week as the Niners look to take the next step after falling 20-17 in overtime to New York when hosting the NFC title game last year.
''Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are mobile quarterbacks who throw the ball at extremely accurate levels,'' Falcons safety Thomas Decoud said. ''We can use this game as a cheat sheet to prepare for next week.''
Good luck with that one.
On Sunday, the Falcons barely got past Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, who overcame a 20-point deficit to take a one-point lead, but gave it up after Matt Ryan drove Atlanta into field goal range and Matt Bryant made a 49-yard kick with 8 seconds left.
The Falcons struggled to stop Wilson, who had a big day with both his arm and feet, similar to what Kaepernick did for the 49ers in their 45-31 rout of Green Bay in the other NFC divisional game.
Atlanta is the only team not making a repeat appearance in the NFL's final four, and Falcons will face a 49ers team that has a different kind of weapon at quarterback this time around.
On Saturday, Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and rushed for 181 –
a NFL record in any game for a quarterback – to dump the Packers.
''We're one step closer to where we want to be,'' said Kaepernick. San Francisco hasn't been to the Super Bowl since 1995, when Steve Young led the 49ers to their fifth Lombardi Trophy during a MVP season for San Francisco's last Hall of Fame quarterback.
Though the Niners must travel cross country for the game, they opened as 3-point favorites in a meeting of teams that played twice a year until 2003, when Atlanta was moved from the NFC West to the NFC South. Their only previous playoff meeting was a 20-18 win for the Falcons in the 1998 divisional playoffs. Atlanta won at Minnesota the next week to make its only Super Bowl.
San Francisco's overtime loss last year to the Giants was part of a tense day of football that began with New England's 23-20 victory over the Ravens in the AFC title game.
In that game, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 11 seconds left.
Cundiff now plays for San Francisco, which signed him two weeks ago to compete with a struggling David Akers for the team's kicking duties. Akers held on to that job and kicked for the 49ers in their playoff game Saturday.
In Baltimore this season, Justin Tucker beat out Cundiff for the kicker's job. Tucker hit a 47-yarder against Denver on Saturday to lift the Ravens to a 38-35 win in double overtime, extending Ray Lewis' career for at least one more week and putting the 17-year veteran one win away from his second Super Bowl.
''We fought hard to get back to this point and we're definitely proud of being here,'' Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. ''We feel like it's going to take a lot for somebody to come and kick us off that field come the AFC championship game.''
Lewis and the Ravens will have to stop the NFL's most potent offense. The Patriots put up 457 yards in a 41-28 victory over Houston, which left them one win away from their sixth Super Bowl in the 2000s.
''I think the two best teams are in the final,'' Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. ''Baltimore certainly deserve to be here and so do we.''
The Patriots were made early 9½-point favorites against the Ravens.
These teams met in the regular season and that game was also decided by a kick – Tucker's 27-yard field goal that sneaked through the right upright for a 31-30 victory. Or did it?
While the Ravens were celebrating, Pats coach Bill Belichick ran to midfield and grabbed a replacement official's arm as he tried to exit the field. The NFL fined Belichick $50,000 for the gesture.
New England is the even-money favorite in Vegas to win the Super Bowl. San Francisco is next at 2-1, followed by Atlanta (5-1) and Baltimore (8-1).
Among the possible Super Bowl story lines:
-- The Harbaugh Bowl. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers and John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. A Harbaugh Bowl almost became a reality last season when both of Jack Harbaugh's sons took their teams to the Super Bowl precipice before both lost by a field goal.
-- A rematch of San Francisco's 41-34 win at New England on Dec. 16 – one of the most entertaining games of the regular season. The 49ers bolted out to a 31-3 lead in the third quarter of that game, only to see the Patriots reel off four consecutive touchdown drives for 28 unanswered points to tie the game before the 49ers recovered to score 10 points in the final six minutes to put the game away.

Sewickley library to offer adult computer classes
For many, mobile phones and computers are a way of life.
But for older generations, computers still might be difficult to understand, said Sewickley Public Library office manager Sarah Davies, who is organizing two computer classes for older adults seeking to learn how to use technology.
"There is a need in the community for basic computer classes," Davies said.
Her first class focuses on basic computer skills in a Windows-based platform. A second class offered in August will focus on digital photography.
"We get a lot of questions like, 'I don't know what the (control) button is on the keyboard.'
In addition, Davies said using a computer might be difficult for older adults with various health issues.
"if you're older and you have arthritis, it could be difficult using a mouse," she said. "So we want to start very basic and go from there."
The classes are offered through the OASIS program, which focuses on educating those at least 50 years old through classes and other programming.
Each class is comprised of two, two-hour sessions with a maximum of six participants per class.
"There's a real emphasis on individualized instruction," Davies said. "Everybody has to sit at their own computer. You cannot just watch. You have to participate. They're relaxed, fun classes."
If interest grows, Davies said she and other library staff will consider adding more classes, and also might include additional topics later.
Davies said she hopes adults consider the classes.
"A lot of older people have been avoiding it, because it's like learning an entirely different language," she said.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
there is no way to reset this system -you will either have to replace the ignition key assembly or you can install a resister inline on the wire to the ignition key assembly
heres how
How to bypass the VATS (PASSKey II) system in a late model GM vehicle
This document pertains to the following vehicles:
1994-1996 Grand Prix
1992-1999 Bonneville
1993-2002 Firebird/Trans Am/Firehawk
1994-1996 Regal
1992-1999 LeSabre
1991-1996 Park Avenue
1991-1996 Roadmaster
1994-1997 Cutlass Supreme
1992-1999 Eighty Eight/LSS/Ninety Eight/Regency
1991-1996 Custom Cruiser Wagon
1995-1999 Monte Carlo
1995-2001 Lumina
1993-2002 Camaro
1986(?)-1996 Corvette (C4)
1991-1996 Fleetwood
1992-1997(?) Seville/STS/DeVille
Any other GM Vehicles with the VATS or PASSKey II system (If your ignition key looks like the one pictured below.)
Before we begin, here's a question to ponder:
-- When you insert your ignition key and attempt to start the car, will the car not even attempt to crank over? Does the "Security" light flash during any time you're attempting to start the car?
The simple solution is to first clean off the chip on your key or try another key for the same car. If that also doesn't work, then follow my instructions for a fast, simple, and relatively inexpensive repair.
**NOTE** After performing the following procedure, your vehicle's factory starter interrupter (VATS) will be disabled. A thief will be able to steal your car much easier than if the VATS system were enabled.
***Now that being said, I want to stress that I am not an expert on the VATS system, by no means. I simply stumbled across a way to bypass a malfunctioning "reader" in the ignition lock cylinder. On my 92 LeSabre, the wires running from under the dash to the "reader" broke inside the steering column, and I didn't feel like pulling the column apart to fix or replace the lock cylinder. Using a Factory Service Manual, I located the wires in question and created the "resistor pack" to jumper accross them.
Just to reiterate: I am not an expert on this system, and know nothing more than how to bypass the "reader" in the ignition lock cylinder. Please follow the links at the end of this document for further help.
With that out of the way, here's an explanation of the VATS system (which I culled from a locksmith selling VATS blanks on eBay.)
WHAT IS VATS?Vats stands for Vehicle Anti Theft System. Lots of people refer to this type of key, as a " computer Chip key". This key or "Chip" has nothing to do with a computer, nor is it a chip. But because of the popularity of calling it a computer chip key, so will we. So that we don't confuse. The black chip on the blade of the key, is actually a resistor. GM first started using the Vats key in 1986 on the Corvetts, then some of the Cadillacs, ect. GM uses 15 different resistors in their VATS keys. Just by looking at the keys you can't tell the difference.How does the VATS System work?Each VATS key has it's own unique cuts on the key to operate the lock. but the cuts alone will not allow the car to crank. This is called a mechanical key. Each car has a VATS module (Brain) under the dash that communicates to the starter, fuel pump, and the ignition lock. Each VATS module is randomly given a # (value) from the manufacturer. When the proper mechanical keys, along with the proper VATS chip (resistor value) turns the ignition lock, the VATS module reads the chip on the key . If it is the correct chip, the VATS module will tell the starter and the fuel pump to operate. If the wrong chip is read, the VATS module will tell the starter and the fuel pump to shut down.How to determine the Value of your key:By chance you may know what VATS key you now have. Most people do not. There are basically two ways to determine what VATS key you have. Remember, there are 15 differrent possibilities. First, your key can be "read" in a VATS tester. Most locksmiths have these readers, and don't change anything to tell you. There is another way for you to read the key value yourself. If you have a Volt Meter you can test the OHMS (resistance value) of the chip yourself. Just set your Volt meter to check OHMS, take each lead and place it on each side of the "chip" on your key. A number will appear. Take that number on your volt meter and apply it to the OHMS chart below. Keep in mind that it may not be exact. Just pick the closest value to your reading.
This chart is for any GM product, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsombile, Chevrolet, and Pontiac that has a VATS key (single or double-sided.)VATS # (K)OHMS (Set your meter to the 20k ohm setting)1---- 0.4022---- 0.5233---- 0.6814-----0.8875-----1.1306-----1.4707-----1.8708-----2.3709-----3.01010----3.74011----4.75012----6.04013----7.50014----9.53015----11.801
Okay, onward we go!
Tools and supplies needed:
Soldering Iron
Wire Cutters/Strippers/Crimper
Voltmeter/Ohmmeter (DMM)
Approx. 8 inches of 16 ga. wire (speaker wire works great)
"Bullet-Style" solderless connectors
Heat Shrink Tubing
Resistors of varying values (totalling the resistance measured across the key's "pellet")
Alright, let's begin the madness:
1. Take your DMM, set it to measure Ohms (use the 20k setting.) Measure the resistance across the pellet of the ignition key. Place one probe on the silver part of one side of the pellet, and the other probe on the other side. Write this value down.
2. Purchase a resistor or resistors that add up to the value measured in step 1. Radio Shack is a great place to go for the resistors, heat shrink tubing, and the "bullet-style" solderless connectors.
3. Take the 16 ga. wire and cut into 2 four-inch pieces.
4. Strip off approx 1/16" of insulation off each side of both wire pieces.
5. Put your resistors together in series (or if you're lucky and have a chip that has a resistance that matches a single resistor) and solder one wire to one end of the resistor(s) and the other wire to the other side.
Example: You measure 11.72 on the 20k (k meaning kilo or 1,000) scale. The closest match is 11.801 which is a #15 "chip." Always remember that resistors have a tolerance of 2%, meaning the resistance value of the "pellet" can be either 2% higher or 2% lower than 11.801 k ohms (11.72 falls in tolerance range.) You will want to aim for 11,801 ohms. So when you go to Radio Shack you want to pick up a 10,000 ohm (10k,) a 1,000 ohm (1k,) and an 800 ohm resistors to wire together in series to achieve the 11.801k ohm value.
Here's an example of how you'd connect the above mentioned resistors in "series"
wire------10k ohm------I------1k ohm------I------800 ohm------wire
6. Measure the resistance across the 2 wires now that the resistors are soldered to them. Be absolutely sure the value matches that of the resistor pellet in the ignition key (within 2% up or down.)
7. Cut a length of heat-shrink tubing to cover up the resistors, allowing a small bit to hang over onto each of the 2 wires. Use a lighter or heat gun to shrink the tubing.
8. On one of the wires, crimp on a male bullet connector, and on the other wire crimp on a female bullet connector.
9. Now what you have should look like this:
Notice in the above "resistor pack" I lucked out and only needed 1 resistor to match the pellet's resistance. You may not be so lucky...
10. Now move to the car. Remove the under-dash kick panel.
11. Look for an orange wire running down the steering column. This wire should have a "rubbery" feel to it, and it is the only orange wire running from the column.
**WARNING** Do not tamper with any of the wires near the column wrapped in yellow harness tape or any yellow wire. These wires are for the airbag. Tampering with any of these wires could result in the airbag discharging.
12. Cut this wire (there are 2 small wires inside) and strip back the insulation on the wires on the opposite side of the steering column.
13. Install a male bullet connector to one of the 2 wires, and a female on the other.
14. Plug in your "resistor pack" that you made by mating the male and female bullet connectors.
15. Attempt to start the car. If your problem was with the VATS reader in the ignition lock cylinder, this will start the car.
If this won't start the car, then the problem is in the VATS module. If the VATS module is bad, remove the resistor pack. Strip the insulation off the other side of the main wire cut (running from the column) and place a male connector on one wire and a female on the other. Plug the 2 halves back together to restore the function of the VATS reader.
Before signing off, I have received some more info from a fellow W-Body.com forum member.
From WhiteMonteZZZ :
If VATS is disabled (via your site), then additional keys without the VATS pellet are able to be purchased (and used) at most local hardware stores. The keyblank needed would be an ILCO (or equivalent) B62 blank (this has GM's 'A' keyway, no resistor, and typically was used on Cadillac Allante vehicles). The original key can be cut onto this blank, but the head typically needs to be filed down at the part nearest the ignition lock 2-3 mms. The standard B62 blank will hit the face of the igniton lock, so by shortening the head of the blank, you're in turn lengthening the blank.
He also says you can trim the plain-ole ignition key down with a dremel tool. Here is a pic he sent to me showing the new "trimmed" key:
You can plainly see where the key is cut by the outline drawn on the paper beneath the lower key.
Adding to WhiteMonteZZZ's suggestion, I recently received an idea from another W-Body.com member. stockgp recommends using an "AXXESS" brand key, blank #4. The head of the key is longer, and thus can be trimmed to the exact shape of a VATS key:

He started talking and I thought how great it was to send a DVD message. I am 5 months pregnant, so he said hello to the baby and then he said he wanted to baby to get used to his voice. He started reading a book to the baby! My heart just melted, He looked so great and it was just like he was sitting in front of us! Then he read another book. The first time I saw the DVD I just cried. It was so sweet and I am so grateful that his daughter will hear his voice. Now, I play the DVD everyday and it really soothes me to hear his voice and see his face. After he read the book, he talked to us for a little while. The DVD was about 10 minutes long. I love it because our daughter will be able to watch this DVD forever and see where her daddy was when she was born!"

Teddy Roosevelt, Buchanan points out, ended the Russo-Japanese War, and Woodrow Wilson came up with his famous 14 points.
Russia lost the 1904-05 Russo-Japanese War in the best Russian loser fashion at the naval battle of Tsushima.
President Theodore Roosevelt negotiated an end to the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War in 1906 after Japan won.
If it is successful, or even partially successful, it may produce the most grave results, as in the Russo-Japanese War.
Chekhov died in 1904, soon after the Russo-Japanese War had begun.
During the early part of the year 1905, the strain on the civilized world caused by the Russo-Japanese War became serious.
The Russo-Japanese War is one of those landmarks in human history whose significance increases with the lapse of time.
As to the progress of the Russo-Japanese War, we have yet to look for its authentic history.
Russia was diplomatically isolated and militarily beaten in the Russo-Japanese War.
In the Russo-Japanese War the sun was sometimes used as an aiming point.
A war fought in 1904–1905 between Russia and Japan over rival territorial claims. In winning the war, Japan emerged as a world power.
Note: President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States was largely responsible for bringing the two sides together and working out a treaty. For his efforts, Roosevelt won the Nobel Prize for peace.

Bruton Street Celebrates its first Birthday with Gordon's
To celebrate both the Temperley and Gordon's collaboration and the first anniversary of the Mayfair store we brought the outside inside. With the ground floor of our Bruton Street store drastically transformed with a wisteria tree climbing the walls and ceiling and in the midst of the branches hung iconic Temperley London gowns while free standing plinths showcased the ten green bottles with Temperley Labels. The draping wisteria leads up to the first floor where on the landing the striking stained glass artwork, created by John Reyntiens in collaboration with Alice, is illuminated. In the first floor discovery room each print label is displayed amongst an assortment of props from books and birdcages to cases and trunks. Guests were invited to try four of the ten delicious cocktails created to commemorate the collaboration whilst classic G&T's were served by immaculate waiters.

The alternately bemused and appalled heroine of Slums of Beverly Hills (1998) is dragged from one crappy apartment to another, a slave to her half-a-hustler father's rent-skipping schemes.

I contacted Mr Hermann when I was faced with early retirement due to an illness. He was able to contact Social Security for me and within a short time I received my benefits from SSA. Now I have Mr. Hermann working on another case for me. Thanks for all the support.
Posted by Dillon
I am not sure what other reviews are posted but my experience was and has been fantastic. Mr. Hermann really cares about his clients. Everything that he promises is true and he always treated me like a real person. I felt like I had a friend rather than an attorney. His staff was exceptional and always kept me in the loop and always ready to respond to my questions. Allyn and Elana were so very kind. I could not have asked for a better attorney. The Railroad Retirement Board is very difficult to deal with and Mr. Hermann took care of everything for me. He was like and angel sitting on my shoulder. Thank you Mr. Hermann you give attorneys a good name in my book. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Hermann as your attorney I highly recommend!
Posted by NOMYSTERY
While the other reviews may in detail insist Gabriel Hermann is a wonderful attorney, his rating of 7.5 is a bit generous and much closer to his actual worth as an attorney. The only truth found in my opinion is that of Stephanie, a person of compassion and necessary drive to assist clients. As with most administrators though - the delegated workload is powered by those they serve. In otherwords, she can only do what instructed. Apparently, there was little interest with regard to my case. Hired early in the year as a second attorney (moved from another state) and scheduled for a hearing in early summer, I documented three (3) times he or his staff reached out to me. Concerned with lack of communication, I asked to meet. He assured me that he was on top of the case regardless of my feelings(nearly verbatim). He also at that time told me he had another case he was taking over mine and there was no way he'd cancel this obviously more important case. He then advised that I could be represented at the hearing by an intern or face subsequent further delay of hearing (4-6mos) to reschedule. After assuring me of his knowledge and experience (intern) I agreed. HEARING DAY...I met with a small in stature gentlemen with no confidence and less knowledge of my case. He also was soft spoken with an apparent speak impediment. Needless to say he was clearly not experienced, gave me know information on how to proceed with testimony (do's n donts) and AGAIN was not prepared. Within 6 minutes of the hearing, the Judge abruptly ended the hearing reprimanding him for not having the medical records and gave him two weeks to get them into her. There was 5 months time from retaining to hearing - ample for recovering med records!! Discouraged, I called Gabriel personally where the screaming match began, he spoke so condescendingly and at one time even spoke through his teeth as though I were a 5 year old. Needless to say I gave them more time. 6 weeks went by and STILL no further records submitted to the judge. At which time, I asked for all of my records and relieved him of his services. I also promised this encounter to be made available via social media, not for purposes of REVENGE. But to allow people like myself to be fully aware of the POSSIBILITIES of being failed as I was indeed. Unfortunately, Gabriel is in a profession that serves to put peoples lives back together as a Disability Attorney, which requires a human approach and not so much business as other legal professions. He is not fighting for your car, dog, valuables or principles - He is in essence fighting for clients LIVES. I expect the manner in which he deals with clients to be one of consideration and not sharp, cunning and disdainful. Only my experience, but get the feeling its a personality issue and not one of business operation. UPDATE: AFTER THREE YEARS OF WAITING - I NOW HAVE TO BE SCHEDULED FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL HEARING WITH VOCATIONAL EXPERTS - NEXT YEAR! (supplemental hearings occur less than 2% of the time and include vocation experts to try to further disprove your illness) Fortunately, I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE......I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING HOME, MOBILITY, INDEPENDENCE & EVEN MY MIND - but I still have my children to care for, so my FIGHT CONTINUES. Thank you immensly Mr. Hermann
Posted by Mike Patterson
Gabe and Stephanie Burkland was a 1-2 punch that worked professionally and kept me in the loop as my case was settled in amazing time. I would recommend Gabe and Insler & Hermann to anyone who wants to cut the redtape with the social security bureaucracy.
Posted by Debbie
I received my favorable decision in April 2012. It was a long struggle in which Mr. Hermann and the support staff did an excellent job. I was depressed and at my wits end, they were comforting and reassuring during the entire process. At times they were stern but always in my best interests. Thank you, so very much.
Posted by Susie
This was a very difficult time and I was heartsick and discouraged. This man and his whole supporting staff were there for me at a moments notice, offering information, answers to questions and followed up promptly on everything. I am so very grateful and recommend them to all!
Posted by Gary

Medicare Supplemental Options – Advantages of Supplemental Designs
http://www.medigap2017.com Medicare supplemental ideas are procured by a huge number of senior citizens every year. They offer satisfaction to people who want medicals services, in addition to those that are healthy, but want protection in the function of the crisis or unpredicted sickness.
Wellbeing treatment requires modify commonly along with the condition in the overall health care industry modifications each and every year. This makes choosing the ideal plan hard and often sophisticated. Despite the system you select, the outcomes should be the exact same. Reduce outside of pocket bills and positive aspects you can acquire advantage of to maintain or improve your present-day health and fitness position.
Having the ability to begin to see the medical doctor of the option is crucial. Most Medicare supplemental strategies allow for you to definitely pick out the health practitioner and hospital you like, but test the prepare ahead of purchasing, just in case you will discover thoughts. The Federal federal government owns and operates the Medicare plan.
The complement options are standardized with the Center for Medicare Products and services and they are obtained from non-public insurance policy organizations. For a final result of the standardizations, all Medigap procedures present the same advantages. This makes is simpler when evaluating designs. Nevertheless, the charges charged because of the companies can differ considerably.
In a few instances they will be aggressive. In other scenarios, they will be much dearer. It is vital that you do not forget that bigger rates never reveal improved benefits or greater provider stages. One of the most effective techniques to help keep premiums lower and expenditures down is always to stay balanced.
Several of the authorized providers of Medicare supplemental options offer the "silver sneakers" plan for their prepare members. This program aids pay out with the prices of well being relevant expert services, for example gym memberships and fitness courses. Right before enrolling, ensure that places in your neighborhood take part during the plan.
For a outcome of this added function, you could possibly pay to your program than these supplied by other organizations. No matter if it is actually well worth the expense for yourself is often a extremely private determination. Yet another element to take into account is corporate rankings. Quite a few providers which have increased scores have better rates.
Because Medicare supplemental designs are standardized, it'll appear down to price and optional options when choosing a company. There are quite a few unique resources you could use to exploration options. Every single Point out department of Insurance policy includes a guidebook that could deliver assistance when picking options. The Medicare net web-site and those for private, senior targeted corporations also have tools which will support.

What We Can Learn from A More Expensive Light Bulb
Last weekend, the Washington Post carried an interesting article about the future of the light bulb business. Energy to produce light contributes a significant proportion of our carbon emissions. The proportion of energy in a traditional incandescent bulb that produces heat, when what we want from it is light, is much too high.
The article highlighted for me many of the key principles that we need to incorporate as we move away from disposable, energy intensive consumerism, towards a more sustainable model;
- Per unit and up-front costs will often be higher for more sustainable products. Companies need to reset consumer expectations and/or come up with new models for financing such as leasing.
- Companies (such as Philips and Ikea highlighted in the article) that see the future and take the initiative will be better positioned to reap the rewards than the laggards who drag their heels.
- Solutions that adapt to and protect the existing infrastructure and investment of the customer (in the case of lighting this would be screw-in bulb sockets) will ease the transition.
- Companies need to create new marketing approaches internally and new consumer mind sets externally for products that were viewed as consumables to be viewed instead as durables.
- The very terminology 'consumer' implies the item is consumed, in the process of serving its purpose. Perhaps we need to come up with a better term!
- New measures are required. In the case of lighting, we must help people understand why lumens are the better measure for light after years of using wattage as the primary descriptor.
I cannot help but think back to the 1970's when telephones were something that was leased from the phone company as part of the service. Separation of the telephone from the regulation of the telephone line enabled an explosion of creativity and enabled the wide range of choices we have today in telephones. But it also took us from a repairable, reusable device with replaceable parts and great longevity to an often substituted device where only the battery is replaceable and everything else is disposed of at end of life.
The principles we can draw from the lighting sector evolution can be applied to sustainable product development in other sectors and perhaps to broader sustainability also.

The Kentucky Wildcats play Saturday in the NCAA semifinals against Connecticut and, should they win, would play again Monday night in the national championship game.
Jeff Krauss, the mayor of Bozeman, Mont., isn't taking any chances on the possibility of missing the title game.
Krauss, a die-hard Kentucky basketball fan, has canceled a Bozeman City Commission meeting scheduled for Monday so he won't miss the game should the Wildcats advance.
"Everybody knows Kentucky basketball fans are lunatics and I'm no exception," Krauss said Thursday, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Krauss said that he knows he might be jinxing his favorite team by pushing back the meeting before the Wildcats get that far, but he wouldn't be able to make the change should he wait to see if they win Saturday night.
City commissioner Chris Mehl said he is OK with the decision, but made a point to say he won't be rooting for the Wildcats.
"I am, however, rooting for VCU," Mehl said.
More from the Daily Chronicle:
Krauss, who grew up in Richmond, Va., said he comes from a long line of Kentucky basketball fans.
"All of my family is from Kentucky originally," he said. "I can remember listening to games on my transistor radio in the 1960s with my head under the pillow so my parents didn't know I was still awake."
For the past four years, Krauss, his father and his two sons have attended the Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament together.
He said he plans to watch Monday night's game with his sons.
"Family traditions are a valuable thing," Krauss said. "Yeah, I know people are going to hoot at me for my priorities, but having my sons there, my dad on the phone, jumping up and down, is pretty fun."

The Democratic Virtues of Notre Dame

Notre Dame Commencement 2009
by Kathleen Sprows Cummings
What a pleasure to walk across the quad this morning without having to keep my eyes downcast. The "abortion plane," the one towing a banner with a graphic picture of a 10-week aborted fetus, is gone now, after having circled Notre Dame's campus for weeks on end.
Participating in yesterday's commencement—I was seated with the faculty about 100 feet from the stage—was both exhilarating and exhausting. The nervous tension before and during the event was unbelievable. There was a Secret Service agent disguised in academic garb (the earpiece was a dead giveaway) seated in the row in front of me, and U.S. Marshalls posted throughout the arena never stopped scanning the crowd for threats. Worst of all were the hecklers at the beginning of the President's speech, whose comments and subsequent removal were far more disturbing in person than they appeared to be on television.
We had all heard that Randall Terry's group had obtained tickets, but we didn't know how many of them there would be, or whether there would be disruptions throughout the speech, or how exactly the crowd would respond. It was a relief after the first five minutes passed, when we could all really start to listen to the President's marvelous speech (the New York Times reports on it here). And when that was over, we could go about the business that brought us all there in the first place, honoring and celebrating Notre Dame's class of 2009.
There is no question that the last six weeks have been the most painful in my life as a faithful Catholic. Two weeks ago my daughter's second grade class held their First Communion retreat on campus, and the joy of participating in that event was overshadowed by worries that the abortion plane would disrupt our nature walk, or that I wouldn't be able to avoid the demonstrators and their placards as I drove my group back to school. How, after all, does one explain dismembered fetuses, or baby dolls covered in blood, to a group of eight year olds?
But if the Obama controversy has saddened me as a person of faith, it has heartened me as a teacher and scholar of American Catholicism. The folks in administration and development will almost certainly grimace if they read this, but on balance this episode made my professional life, at least, a whole lot LESS complicated. I always search for opportunities to engage past and present in the classroom, and so I was delighted when, early in the semester, Kathleen Sebelius' nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services was announced the day before we were scheduled to discuss the election of 1928.
But if I was pleased with the thoughtful discussion about Catholics in American public life that Sebelius' nomination generated, I was astounded by the level of intellectual engagement that characterized our discussions of the Obama controversy. As a prelude to those discussions, we read and analyzed a host of primary documents, ranging from Monsignor John Tracy Ellis' 1955 critique of Catholic intellectual life to the 1968 Land-O-Lakes Statement of Catholic Higher Education, from Mario Cuomo's 1984 speech at Notre Dame to the USCCB's statement on Faithful Citizenship. We debated what the controversy revealed about faith and public life, dissent, episcopal authority, Catholic education, and electoral politics in the post-Vatican II American church. My students came to these discussions from a variety of ideological viewpoints, yet our conversations were invariably characterized by respect and by a sincere desire to understand what developments over the last half-century have brought us to this moment in American Catholicism.
On my way home from work each day, I couldn't help but marvel at the contrast between our provocative discussions and the daily circus staged by protestors at Notre Dame's Main Gate. I have never felt more privileged to be a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame than I have been this semester, and I was even prouder during yesterday's ceremony. Between the legacy of Father Ted Hesburgh, evoked so elegantly by President Obama, and the leadership and courage of Father John Jenkins, displayed so prominently in his own remarkable speech, I was repeatedly moved to tears. I plan to use both speeches as a springboard to discussion in my classes next year, and there is much more that can and will be said about them. Today, though, I am just grateful it is a quiet and happy day at Notre Dame, with nothing but blue skies overhead.

I too was extremely impressed with the way ND's president and the audience handled this situation (to the extent one could discern that via CNN)--not to mention Obama himself. One more thanks here for the on-the-ground perspective, Kathy.

Well done.

I enjoyed the post, thanks for sharing. I believe when you mention Religion in American society today, it should be based on tolerance and acceptance as was shown by the University.
Btw I just stumbled and submitted your blog to viralogy. Hope it brings you a lot of new readers!

Thanks for a sensible and moving post, Kathy. It was forwarded to me by a friend who had no idea I knew you, which I suppose is evidence of the breadth of your audience. I'm looking forward to finding the time to hear what Jenkins said, since, as you know, I wasn't so impressed with his first foray into dealing with issues of academic freedom and the Catholic character of the university. I'm certainly more inclined to like this one, though.
Take care,

"How, after all, does one explain dismembered fetuses, or baby dolls covered in blood, to a group of eight year olds" you ask?
Keep it simple: Tell them the truth...Explain that millions of babies have been aborted in the United States simply because some pregnancies were inconvenient. Face it, abortion has evolved into a form of birth control. The notion that the procedure is mostly used in cases involving rape, incest or for "the life of the mother" is laughable. Make no mistake: abortion is a form of birth control. But if the truth is too tough to take, perhaps Norma McCorvey - the "Jane Roe" of Roe v Wade may provide some insight on how to handle the eight year olds. As you know, she has had a change of heart since her case - that legalized abortion in 1973 - was decided...and she spoke out at ND against Obama on this issue...and just so you know...I am no supporter of Randall Terry. I'm just a N.D. dad who wonders if the statue a top of the Golden Dome could talk, how would she'd weigh in this whole deal? just askin.

This release fixes a lot of bugs. The module should be pretty stable. Remaining known issues that affect stability are listed in #1551542: [META] Release Plan (if you would like to help us get to a stable release, posting patches for the issues in the release plan is the best place to start).
Please continue referring to the Facebook-style Statuses documentation until #1685446: Port documentation to D7 is fixed; the 7.x-1.x branch is a straight port from Facebook-style Statuses 6.x-3.x.
No special upgrade steps are required from this release.
Please see the 7.x-1.0-beta1 release notes for in-depth instructions!
Issue #1693620 by mathankumarc: Fixed Problems with Token integration with Rules
Issue #1855172: Fixed errant db_fetch_object() in a function that was never called anywhere
Issue #1847704 by JvE: Fixed Notice: Undefined index: chars in statuses_save_js().
Issue #1843608 by oscardax: Fixed Undefined variable in og context.
Issue #1844116: Fixed Wrong CSS classes.
Issue #1834936: Fixed Webform submission error.
Issue #1820844: Fixed Default view not getting refreshed because of issue with Heartbeat JS integration.
This is the first stable release of the 7.x-1.x branch of the Statuses module, formerly known as Facebook-style Statuses. Continue referring to the FBSS documentation until #1685446: Port documentation to D7 is fixed; this release is a straight port from the 6.x-3.x branch of FBSS.
The steps to get to a full stable release of Statuses are outlined at #1551542: [META] Release Plan. The remaining known issues should not significantly affect a majority of sites, but check to make sure you will not be affected before upgrading from Drupal 6. If you would like to help us get to a stable release, posting patches for the issues in the release plan is the best place to start.
A couple of integrations were removed (see section below) -- but since they weren't working in the previous 7.x-1.x releases, if you were using 7.x-1.0-unstable4 this probably doesn't affect you.
Before you start, please note that the name change from "facebook_status" to "statuses" complicates the upgrade path. We've automated most of it, but please back up your database before upgrading and, if you can, test the upgrade on a development instance before upgrading production.
This is a checkpoint release. A bunch of bugs have been fixed since 7.x-1.0-unstable3 but most of the integrations still don't work.
Issue #1481764 by mathankumarc: Fixed Devel Integration with Stauses and fbss_comments.
Issue #1265048 by publicmind and mathankumarc: Fixed Notice: Undefined index: #value in theme_textarea() (line 3732 of /home/***/public_html()/includes/form.inc).
Issue #1480592 by mathankumarc: Fixed error when deleting a status comment with the Flag integration submodule enabled.
Issue #1296238 by mathankumarc: Fixed calls to flag_get_flag()('follow')->fid or ->status fail.
Removing stray $Id$ tag
Issue #1458460 by rurri: Fixed PHP Parse error causes drupal to White Screen.
Issue #1456522: Fixed config/statuses/fbss_comments Server Error.
Issue #1255648 by mathankumarc: Fixed Rules integration is broken.
Issue #1296238 by mathankumarc | udvranto: Fixed calls to flag_get_flag()('follow')->fid or ->status fail.
Issue #1412798 by rabisg: Fixed Warning: Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values!
Issue #1265048 by publicmind, IceCreamYou: Fixed Notice: Undefined index: #value in theme_textarea() (line 3732 of /home/***/public_html()/includes/form.inc).
Fixed conversation view fails with SQL query warning with the Privacy submodule enabled
This is a checkpoint release. The core Statuses module and the Tags and Comments submodule should be stable. The Flag submodule and the Rules submodule don't work at all and may break your website. The rest of the submodules haven't been heavily tested, although they should probably work; and there are changes to the markup that are in FBSS 6.x-3.x but haven't been ported to D7 yet. Also, some of the more complex Views handlers might not work, and the Comment submodule's JavaScript doesn't work.
Issue #1347290 by IceCreamYou: Fixed Autogrow grows too slowly on comment textareas that are initially hidden.
Issue #1334776: Make comment box smaller initially when Autogrow is enabled.
Issue #1334776: Hide comment button until the texarea is clicked.
Issue #1346742: Fixed Error: Missing argument, undefined variable & PDOException.
Issue #1345710: Fixed Notice: Undefined property DatabaseStatement_sqlite() in_statuses_tags_resolve() line 552.
Removed the confusing "respond"/"reply"/"view conversation" link from themed statuses if the comments submodule is installed
Removed the $meta information from themed statuses since it was redundant with the recipient link
Another checkpoint on the way to stable releases. AJAX saving now works with statuses, and comments at least work without AJAX... most custom Views handlers are still broken, and most submodules have not been ported.
This release is not stable, and most things probably don't work! It is just a reference point.
Development release

What is your favourite after lasering cream or lotion?
- kahelelani
- Hawaii
- Last updated: 2 years ago
I'm finding after five laser sessions that the skin is taking a beating. I've tried aquaphor (don't like the petroleum greasy feeling), Palmer's cocobutter (it's good but still the skin feels tight) and have even resorted to squeezing vitamin e capsules onto the skin. What is your favourite aftercare cream?

Is Leica Camera Control still available ?
Got an M8 but no software. The Leica site seems less than helpful. Is this software still available somewhere?
"Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named...but a dying culture invariable exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners is more significant than a riot."
This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength. ...Friday, it is too late to save this culture--this worldwide culture... Therefore we must now prepare the monasteries for the coming Dark Age. Electronic records are too fragile..."

The financial gamble of staging a burlesque fundraiser for the YWCA-Pierce County and Broadway Center for the Performing Arts has apparently paid off.
The local Gritty City Sirens andOlympia's Tush troupe did their tassle-twirling thing to a huge crowd and a warm reception during the Valentine's Day show at the Pantages. Organizers hope it will be become an annual event.
"Originally, we were going to debut at Theater on the Square, but sold out two weeks ago," YWCA Marketing Director Kelly McDonald. Even that move proved too small since the plans were to keep the audience on the lower level, but that changed as the sale of $40-a-seat tickets kept climbing. The event raised about $20,000 between the two nonprofits.
"Next year, we're hoping for a sellout," McDonald said.

Palo Alto CA (SPX) Jul 11, 2012
Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) reports that the SES-5 satellite, designed and built for SES was Monday and is now performing post-launch maneuvers according to plan. The satellite deployed its solar arrays on schedule following its launch aboard a Proton Breeze M vehicle provided by International Launch Services (ILS) from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan. The satellite began firing its main thruster on Tuesday in order to start maneuvering into geosynchronous orbit.
SES-5 is a complex, multi-mission satellite that will provide service in four frequency bands to Europe and Africa. It includes an L-band payload for the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), which is an example of SS/L's experience in integrating government and institutional payloads on commercial spacecraft.
"We are pleased to see the successful launch of this complex satellite and the beginning of the post-launch maneuvers," said John Celli, President of Space Systems/Loral. "I'd like to thank everyone at launch base and the teams that saw SES-5 through from design to launch for their hard work and commitment to making this satellite program a success."
SES-5 will be positioned at 5 degrees East longitude where it will deliver high performance Direct-to-Home (DTH) services, broadband, maritime communications, GSM backhaul, and VSAT applications in Europe and Africa.
The EGNOS navigation payload, which was built based on requirements from the European Commission (EC), will augment existing satellite positioning services, and enable global users to benefit from expanded navigation signals, particularly for safety critical aviation and maritime applications.
"Space Systems/Loral has been an important contributor to our recent fleet expansion," said Martin Halliwell, chief technology officer of SES. "State-of-the-art satellites such as SES-5 help us maintain our high-quality service and meet the growing demand for bandwidth around the world."
SES-5 has 36 active Ku-band transponders and two Ku-band beams, one serving customers in the Nordic and Baltic countries and the other serving Sub-Saharan Africa. It also has two C-band beams, one with global coverage and one with hemispheric coverage, which can be operated with up to 24 active C-band transponders.
The satellite also provides Ka-band uplink capability, allowing for flexible operations between Europe and Africa. It is based on SS/L's highly reliable 1300 platform, which is well-suited for multi-mission satellites because of its size and high power capability. With this launch, there are 71 SS/L-built satellites currently on orbit.

Topsham Museum
Topsham Museum is housed in one of a group of late 17th century buildings overlooking the Exe Estuary. Following completion of a stunning River gallery, the Museum was 'long-listed' for the Art Fund Prize in 2008.
Part of the Museum's focus is on Topsham's maritime history - one particular showpiece is the River Gallery, completed in 2007, featuring unique historic river craft. Visitors can also enjoy the furnished period rooms of the original house and the Sail Loft with its historical timeline of the town's general history and new display about HMS Terror, a Topsham built ship lost in the Artic. Other interesting exhibits include wildlife of the Exe Estuary, local trades and organisations and a small collection of memorabilia of the film star Vivien Leigh.
Topsham's position as a sheltered harbour enabled it to thrive as a port, a centre for fishing and shipbuilding. In a largely forgotten period the Exe was thronged with sailing vessels and its shipyards were major employers in the town and the trade at its height rivalled that of London.
The Museum incorporates pleasant gardens and a tearoom.

Don't be Fooled… Being Single Has It's Perks
I still like to put down a couple cold cans now and then… mostly now, but with getting married next year I'm sure somethings will take a dramatic turn and some perks that I have enjoyed for most of my life will begin to fade away.
Some perks of being single that I'm going to miss are;
1. Taking five seconds between the impulse to leave the house and actually leaving, not the 20 minutes it takes in a relationship.
2. Only have to go to ONE family's worth of events for the holidays.
3. Only I decide what you do with your money.
4. Sleeping in the middle of the bed, with your limbs spread out however you want.
5. Using the bathroom with the door open.
6. I could make decisions without it affecting another person.
7. Keg stands will probably have to come to an end, except for "guy's night out" once every six-months.
Looking through this list, I'm not going to miss to many of them, really… probably just the doing keg stands and then going to the bathroom with door open.
Are there any "perks" that you miss now that you have found yourself married or in a committed relationship?
