Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Reported major Misconduct in a State Agency? Receiving retaliation and harassment by employer in adverse action and must attend Skelly Hearing in two weeks while I'm on disability. Seeking Employment Attorney (Contingency) as soon as possible.
This forum is for general legal information, not the solicitation of lawyers. You can use the AVVO lawyer search function, google or contact your local county bar association for prospective lawyers.Ask a similar question
Not all acts of retaliation will result in liability. Many forms of what people would consider to be whistle blowing are not unlawful. That said, it is good you are looking for an attorney to assist you. This is not the place to recruit an attorney. However, we can certainly help point you in the right direction.
I would suggest you look either on this site in the Find a Lawyer section, or go to www.cela.org, the home page for the California Employment Lawyers Association, an organization whose members are dedicated to the representation of employees against their employers.
Most employment attorneys who practice this area of law work on a contingency basis, meaning you can hire an attorney without paying any money until the matter results in a positive outcome for you. Many advance all the costs of the litigation as well. Do not let fear of fees and costs keep you from finding a good attorney.
Good luck to you.

I agree with my colleagues about using www.cela.org or Find a Lawyer. Many attorneys practicing in this area handle cases on a contingency and have represented employees at Skelly Hearings. You should look for an attorney that is comfortable handling both employment law and administrative hearings. Good luck.Ask a similar question
It is unclear from your question what type of major misconduct you reported to the state agency. Retaliatory acts against an employee who reports certain illegal acts by an employer is prohibited. However, I am unsure if that is the case here. I would recommend searching Avvo for a good employment law attorney to represent you at the Skelly Hearing.

This is my first fanfiction ever so I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto or any characters in it.
Shouken Shounin
Chapter 1- The Bond
"It's a girl," said the nurse as she held a brand new baby girl.
The father took the child into his arms and said, "Her name will be Kohaku." Her father had a genial smile on his face. He kissed Kohaku on the forehead and gave her to her mother. She smiled and held Kohaku gently in her arms.
There was a cry from a baby in a different village. Another child had been born too.
"It's a boy," the nurse said as she handed the small child to his father.
A smile spread across his face and he said, "His name will be Haku."
He handed the child to the mother and she kissed Haku on the forehead. "Welcome, Haku," she said.
These children where no ordinary children, for in fact, something had happened to them when they were born. These children had been born at the same time right down to the milli second and even their umbilical cord was cut at the same time. It had a one in a billion chance of happening, but it did. Because of this, the children were bound together for the rest of their lives. The bond that was created made it so both of them could see through the others eyes, hear what was happening around the other and even feel what the other was feeling. If one felt pain so did the other. If one felt cold, hungry, sick, happy, sad, or even angry so did the other. This bond gave them great power. If one learned something the other did too. They could even use both of their jutsu's and Kekkei Genkai no matter which person it was and if they practiced and trained very hard they didn't have to use hand signs or they could use only one hand. But all this power came at a price for if one was to die the other would, too.
But for now they wouldn't need to worry because they were with their loving parents.
Sorry about the first chapter being so short. It is more like a prologue then a chapter. My plan is to have one chapter posted every Saturday or one a week. Please review.

65-year-old Hossack passed away on Monday, March 12 at his home in Dubois, Wyoming, after a long battle with cancer, the rock band's manager Bruce Cohn shares the sad news.
The Doobie Brothers have lost one of their own. Drummer Michael Hossack has died at age 65. Confirming the sad news was the band's manager Bruce Cohn, who said in a statement that the rocker, who is also known as "Big Mike", died peacefully at his home in Dubois, Wyoming on Monday, March 12 after a long battle with cancer.
Two of Hossack's bandmates have also released a statement in his memory. Founding member and guitarist Tom Johnston said, "Mike has always been a part of my musical life and the life of the Doobie Brothers; from our earliest singles, like 'China Grove' and 'Blackwater' to our most recent single 'Brighter Day'."
Johnston continued on to describe Hossack as "an incredible musician, a studio quality drummer." He noted in the end, "The last few years, he was brave and determined to keep on playing in the face of ill health, and I will always admire him for that. He was a terrific dad and family man, and we will all miss him."
The Doobie's singer and songwriter Patrick Simmons, meanwhile, shared his personal memory of Hossack. "When my kids were little, they used to call him Big Mike, because to them he was such a big guy," he said. "But to me and those who knew him, he had an even a bigger heart. We were friends for 43 years and we shared some wonderful adventures together, times I will never forget."
Aside from confirming Hossack's passing, Cohn himself also spoke of the fallen rocker. "Mike was a one-of-a kind guy," the manager remembered. "He was a fighter and fought the big battle with cancer and he was a close personal friend of mine and I speak for Mike's family and the entire band when I say he will be greatly missed."
Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Hossack joined The Doobie Brothers in 1971. He played with the band until 1973, lending his drumming to early hits including "Listen to the Music", "China Grove" and "Blackwater". He returned to the band in 1987 and was a mainstay of the group for the next 23 years before he was forced to take a health leave in 2010. He is survived by a son and daughter.

Microsoft has made Windows 10 into a whole ecosystem, including desktop, tablets and their range of smartphones.
An integrated system is a good idea but the handset side of the business has struggled to really get off the ground. Despite these issues, it seems Microsoft is committed to Windows 10 Mobile for the long haul.
A leaked internal email from Microsoft devices chief Terry Myerson from Windowscentral had this to say:
"I understand that you are hearing concerns from certain partners about Microsoft's commitment to the mobile space.
Let me be very clear: We are committed to deliver Windows 10 on mobile devices with small screen running ARM processors.
We are currently in development of our next generation products and I wanted to reconfirm our commitment to Windows 10 Mobile. We believe in this product's value to business customers and it is our intention to support the Windows 10 Mobile platform for many years. We have a device roadmap to support that from Microsoft as well as our OEM partners who will also be selling an expanded lineup of phone devices based on this platform."
The language is very clear, and these phones aren't going anywhere. And in fact it may be ramping up, with the latest rumour suggesting than an all new range could be on the way, with Microsoft Surface smartphone set to launch in 2017.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: These LED string lights are a great way to add light to any project with little to no soldering required. The insulated strings come in 10m lengths with one red LED every 10cm for a total of 100 LED's, all you have to do is add 3-3.4V and they are ready to shine.
Note: 3-3.4V is the the working voltage of these strings. Please do not use 12V.
Dimensions: 10m
Are these compatible with any of the lilypad boards?
So you can not make these lights blink slow or fast?
I received my lights today - YEY!!! I am confused about the battery voltage needed to power this string of lights. I used the button cell 3V battery I ordered for use in my Lilypad switched coin cell battery holder and the lights worked fine. Is it that they would be brighter at a higher voltage? I don't want to burn them out with too much voltage, I am going to try and use this string of lights in the hem of a dress, and need to keep things simple and small, and if I could use the coin cell battery holder, life would be much simpler. Any thoughts? Thanks!
At 5V the 51 ohm current limiting resistor this string light uses doesn't exceed it's spec. (assuming it is a ¼ watt resistor). It drops about 3V with 59 mA of current through it. You can power the string with an old unused 5 VDC cell phone wall wart.
I'm a bit confused. The description says these run off of 3V, and not to use 12V. The video had them running off of 9V batteries. Any suggestions?
Go with the lower voltages. 3.7v lipos work great with these. The spec sheet originally said 12v, but we had a lot of customers burning out their lights at those voltage levels.
No reviews yet.

Many Ontario-resident mutual fund trusts have been denied Ontario surtax relief for their 2014 tax year-ends. The surtax relief was provided for in a 2014 comfort letter and then enacted in Ontario's 2015 budget, and many mutual fund trusts filed their 2014 annual form T3, Trust Income Tax and Information Return, on the basis that the relief applied. However, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has not yet updated its systems to reflect the change, and has issued notices of assessment denying relief. Some trusts have received system-generated CRA collection notices and calls about payments due.
The CRA advised the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) that their systems will not be updated until 10 August 2015 to reflect the relief from a mismatch of a mutual fund trust's capital gains and Ontario surtax payable on capital gains retained in the fund. After speaking with IFIC, the CRA indicated it would not make any further collection calls on this issue.

Impressions of Lijiang and Shangri-la
Magical trip to see the wonders of Nature
Never expected to be back in China so fast so soon after my recent Jiangnan trip. This time it was at the last minute invitation of a friend. It was basically a toss-up between Lijiang and Guilin. We did consider Myanmar but it was out for now as visa required (too last minute to apply) but definitely I this would be a future destination next time. We ended up almost picking Macau / Zhuhai having run out of suitable tour packages on offer from various agencies but not for the fact that we finally found this Lijiang package on our last call that suited our schedules. I always had a soft spot for Lijiang after I saw the beautiful pictures on Facebook that my friend took and always wanted to make a trip to see its beauty with my own eyes so in a way it was me who had a great influence on our eventual choice!
The trip took us to Yunnan province and covered Dali (大理), Lijiang (丽江) and Shangri-la (香格里拉). We skipped Kunming as this would mean another extra 2 days of travelling which was both tiring and schedule tight.
Tigerair flies direct from Singapore to Lijiang (that's the beauty of Singapore, with flights to uncommon destinations) although the flight do not seem regular so do check schedules. I usually don't pay attention to window seat scenery but this is one journey whereby window seat is highly recommended. Due to high mountainous area, one gets a magnificent view of the mountains and some spectacular greenery view just before landing. Also because of this the pilot has to skillfully maneuver the plane to avoid crashing into the mountains. It was both exciting and trilling plane ride. I was very encouraged by the good start and hoped this was a prelude of more good scenery to come.
Dali (大理)
We landed in Lijiang airport in the hot summer heat. The temperature was no different as compared back home but due to higher altitude, the ultra violet rays were stronger. We proceeded to take a 5 hour bus ride to Dali. Along the treacherous road, we passed by mountains and more mountains, taking into view the scenery along the way.
Dali city itself is not heavily populated, which is one thing I like. However, due to tour schedules, we only covered Dali Old Town and Chong Shen Temple. I sure would like to have more time to cover more areas!
Dali Old Town (大理古镇)
Having been to various parts of China, I noted that old towns are a common theme in various cities. Dali is no exception. These are basically old structures and towns refitted and renovated for commercial tourism. Along the streets you can buy local produce, food and basically just about anything local. There are even a few bars and cafes where one can just rest their feet and enjoy a cuppa. The human traffic wasn't heavy also which gave us time to walk slowly and just enjoy the journey without have to fight through congested crowds. There are a few spots for photo buffs most notably at the main entrance where the bright lights illuming the city entrance makes it a wonder spot for a memorable picture.
The next day we went to Chong Shen temple (崇审寺). The most noticeable landmark is the 3 pagodas standing which is said to serve as a symbol of blessing to this city. What is unique about the temple is that it encompasses various aspects of Buddhist and Taoist teachings with influence by local beliefs in different temple location三, showing acceptance to different practices and beliefs. This would be a good 'museum' if one wishes to understand both Buddhist and Taoist beliefs. The area is rather huge so to really explore the place by foot in full could take at least 3 quarter days.
We then proceeded to Er Hai (洱海). It is actually not a sea but a large lake. The locals depend on it for their livelihoods by fishing. We took a boat ride out to the lake and enjoyed the breeze and lake view. There was also a 'demonstration' on how the locals use birds which can dive into the lake to catch fish. Turns out this was only for show as I noticed the fish was already dead when the bird scooped it out from the water. I also heard the birds had their necks constricted to prevent them from swallowing the fish in whole. Sad but true.
It is a pity we missed Cang San (仓山). We did pass by it but did not get a chance to explore it.
Lijiang (丽江)
We then proceeded back to Lijiang. The city itself is more congested than Dali with more mainland Chinese from other parts of China gathering here to do business plus Lijiang itself is already a well known tourist spot.
We once again proceeded to another old town (丽江古城). We actually also made a return trip to the old town on one of our free nights to cover the unexplored parts of the town. Unlike Dali Old Town, commercialization and tourist dollars has caused it to lose the sort of special luster that such old towns deserve. Besides food and local produce, there was a stretch being allocated for pub street where beer was served and loud music was played at night. I can imagine the forefathers of this old town must be turning in their graves if they found out that their beloved town has turned into such a place!
Some common items on sale include precious metals and stones, especially silver and jade. Advisable not to buy these are we are no experts in such stuff and can easily be conned. The locally recommended food is Xian Hua Bing (鲜花饼). Besides this another unique item on 'sale' is drums. If one does not wish to buy them, one can spend some time to learn some skills from the shop owners. Or buy a CD. And there is this common one song that everybody keeps playing that is still ringing in my head! It is heartening to see so many people still dedicated to music.
Another area worth mentioning is Wan Gu Lou (万古楼). This was a place where one gets a paranormal view of Lijiang town. The guide actually tried to dissuade us from going as he said the route to the top was tough and was exhausting (no pain no gain). Ended up only 3 of us insisted on going and we were rewarded with a magnificent view from the top! Actually he exaggerated the difficulty of the journey. Sure we had to walk upslope and took steps but was not a difficult walk since there was no time constrain. And we almost missed the view because of his words if not for our insistence!
On return to Lijiang from Shangri-la, we visited Hei Long Tan (黑龙潭). Actually I didn't plan to log this down if not for what I felt was some of the best photo shots taken during the entire trip at this location – beats even Shi Ka mountain shots. Well, the curse of the Group tour as we left barely 15 minutes after reaching the park. If only we had more time!
Guan Fang Hotel (官方旅店)
Usually I don't talk about hotels but this is one unique experience that I simply have to mention. Due to Lijiang's geographic location at higher altitudes, high rise buildings are rare. The hotel we stayed is spread out over a large land area built in a chalet style format. The individual blocks are 3-stories tall and occupy about 5 rooms per block. On the ground floor is a living room with a large sofa and a big plasma TV where people can gather round in comfort to chit chat and drink tea, just like being at home. This sure beats having a gathering in the confined space of a cramped hotel room. What's so unique about this hotel is that there is a dedicated housekeeper / butler to serve each individual block. The housekeeper even prepares breakfast for everybody, giving one the feel of being at home away from home. It is styled something like Taiwan's Min-Su (民宿) concept.
The first housekeeper we met was a cute young girl who was very dedicated and attentive to details. The second one we met on our return stay was the more shy and reserved type. Overall, I loved this concept and really enjoyed my stay there. One minus point is that some of the items in the room are old but still it does not devalue the experience. Also if only there were more facilities like a swimming pool or a gym just like a chalet! Think I am asking for too much!
This is definitely a good location to wind down, do nothing and just relax.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山)
This was one of the most anticipated attractions of this tour. However, it turned out to be a letdown due to cloudy weather.
The journey started off well enough. During the bus ride we continued to enjoy the scene of majestic mountains. Our first stop was to catch the mega show "Impression of Lijiang", which we were almost late. It was an impressive act with hundreds of cast dancing away. However, the show was constantly interrupted by the entry of late spectators and continued until the 45 minute mark of the 70 minute show. This proved to be a huge source of irritation as our efforts to enjoy the show were distracted constantly. Sad but this is the way the show organizers wanted to milk more money by admitting more spectators even as the show was well and truly underway.
After lunch we continued our journey to two key attractions. First stop was the Yak ranch against the backdrop of the Jade Snow Mountain. Unfortunately, the weather was not perfect and we could only see the bottom half of the mountain, with the top part being blocked by clouds. We then walked one big round around the ranch hoping for better weather as time passed but the clouds did not break, which was a big disappointment.
We then went to Lan Yue Gu (蓝月谷), a huge lake with shades of green and blue colored water. From far the lake looks magnificent but on closer look, I would only give it a 6.5 of 10. Perhaps my bar has been raised sigificantly after the lakes I witnessed in Jiu Zhai Gou (九寨沟)during my Sichuan trip.
I was left slightly disappointed when we left and hoped for better scenery in the remaining attractions yet to be visited in the next 2 days.
Shangri-La is primary a Tibetan-influenced town located approximately 3,200m above see level. For those who envision the utopian land with lush mountains and endless greenery grassland associated with the mystical land would surely be bitterly disappointed. Originally known as Zhong Dian County it was then referred as Shangri la, I suspect, for commercial reasons. The city is as much a Chinese city as other parts of China, albeit on a 10 times smaller scale. Although primarily a Tibetan influenced area, this county is as commercial and modern as other Chinese city. Just the presence of a cinema showing latest Hollywood blockbuster movies and KFC tells you as much. Interestingly, Shangri-la chain of hotels is also set to build a hotel on their namesake territory!
We covered the Old town overlooking a monastery. Incidentally this was the location where the fire burned down the houses recently but by some miracle the monastery escaped unscathed. After settling down in our hotel, we proceeded to watch a local dance performance having thought there was no activity at night. How wrong we were! Along the way we saw the glittering streets and even locals dancing away in the park, just like what we witnessed in Chengdu's People's Park and Cambodia's Sisowath Quey. Had I known before hand this was quite a modern Chinese city I might have instead spent the night wandering the streets and clocking my KFC! But still no regrets on watching the dance show. It was worth it and time well spent.
One thing to note on oxygen canister. We were told to buy one for insurance sake in case of breathing difficulties. Actually I felt no difficulty at high altitude but as different bodies react differently to high altitudes, it was better to get one if not for a peace of mind.
Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡)B
Before we reached Shangri-la, we visited the Tiger Leaping Gorge. This was a river with fierce flowing water. I cannot find words to described what I have seen。One has to be there to witness it yourself to appreciate what I have seen. Breathtaking is the best word I could think of. At least at this moment of my life, this was the most impressive fierce flowing river (hence the name of the gorge) that I have seen. There were 2 view points, one from the top and the other closer to the edge and both offered different angles. Due to higher altitude, we were told to take out time to descent to the base and even slower to ascend from the base and for those who found it tough, not to continue the journey to the bottom. Or alternatively there were human carriages, for a fee f course. And I can say the ascend back to the top was tough as I panted and puffed my way hauling myself back up! I think I should work on my fitness again! I certainly enjoyed the view and finally found my money's worth.
Shi Ka Mountain (石卡雪山)
After the euphoric of Tiger Leaping Gorge came the next highlight of the tour and the most challenging - to ascend 4,400m above sea level to the top of the Shi Ka Mountain attraction. I hoped for good weather unlike the experience back in Jade Dragon Mountain.
The journey was broken into 2 sections – ascend to the second base camp via cable car and if one felt fine, then to ascend again by cable car to the summit. Due to different people's reaction to high altitude, safety was always emphasized and those who could not continue were asked not to ascend to the top. And of course to breathe from the oxygen canister purchased constantly.
Getting into the cable car was a funny experience; one car could take 8 people and for those with slow reaction would find it slow to get on the car leaving the last man scrambling into the car! Along both rides we took in some nice scenic shots.
Once we reached the top, it was an exciting experience. Due to summer weather, it was not as cold but still a minimum jacket was necessary. I was once again disappointed by the thick clouds overhanging us which reduced visibility and hence we could not see far. Then just as mysteriously, as if an answer to my prayers, the winds began to slow and the clouds started to break, giving us some spectacular view of the Snow Mountains, albeit mountains without the snow. I stood there not quite mouth open yet (still does not beat what I have seen on route to Hung Long in Sichuan Province) but still you have to marvel at Mother Nature's beauty. I wanted to stay and just stare afar to enjoy this unique and rare experience. But as time ran out and the group slowly made their descent, I reluctantly followed. A truly sad moment.
Onto the second base camp and everybody literally had a field day taking photos of the greenery fields with azalea flower, against the backdrop of the mountains. Some were even being harnessed by hungry wild boars! When time was up everybody reluctantly left.
Shu He Old Town (束和古镇)
This is another old town located in another part of Lijiang. Unlike Lijing Old Town, it is not as congested and we had a good walk inside and enjoying the slower pace in life. Items on sale are similar to Lijing old town minus the bars and loud music. I just hope commercial dollars does not invade and ruin it soon.
It was finally time to leave for home and we brought back good memoires. Although it may not be as spectacular as what I had expected, still it was a wonderful trip.

Today Legendary Comics' first panel at the Con unveiled that the company will publish two new projects from artists Paul Pope and Matt Wagner who were surprise guests. Paul Pope's art book, PULPHOPE, will feature more than 200 pages of Pope's career retrospective and includes many never before seen pieces. Past projects from Pope include BATMAN: YEAR 100, Liquid and 100%. The book is scheduled for release this holiday season. THE TOWER CHRONICLES, from GRENDEL and MAGE creator Matt Wagner, and developed with Legendary's Chairman and CEO Thomas Tull, is a supernatural action/adventure that tells the story of a bounty hunter with a hidden past. John Tower and his team of high-tech mercenaries are all that stand between civilians and things that go "bump" in the night.
2011 Comic-Con: Legendary Comics Sets Two Projects With Paul Pope & Matt Wagner
5 Comments
Matt Wagner is a comic book legend, so what better home for his new project? Paul Pope is an absolute genius as well. And the guys at Legendary really know what they're doing, so this is a recipe for awesomeness. Love it!
Pope and Wagner are both great talents. But the "when things go bump in the night, we bump back" thing seems a little derivative. Oh well, Wagner's been at it for a long time. This is the obvious, retirement-fund idea (the GOOD, non-commercial idea would be a movie of "Devil By The Deed").
"John Tower and his team of high-tech mercenaries are all that stand between civilians and things that go "bump" in the night."
Sounds like everything else on Legendary's slate.
Wagner, whose early stuff I like, lost me completely with the MAGE sequel (nearly as bad as the Star Wars prequels), and he's been living off the Grendel property for too long.
His last interesting project was Sandman Mystery Theater, this seems like a variant of Challengers of the Unknown meets Fringe meets Doc Savage…
Hi Ras, I hated the MAGE sequel as well. The last thing Wagner did that I liked was the first Batman/Grendel.
But why *shouldn't* Wagner live off the Grendel property? It's his signature creation.

My children grew up with Dr Kelly as their doctor and she is amazing, our whole family was never in better health than when she was our doctor and if we lived in Tx she would still be our doctor. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Dr. Kelly is a great doctor, it's a shame she has about the worst office staff I've ever come across (and I've been in the medical administration field almost 20 years). Her receptionist is rude, snide, never helpful in anyway. The billing is ridiculously slow and inaccurate. As much as I like Dr. Kelly, I will never go back to her office.

Extremely unfriendly staff
Dr. Kelly is a nice lady, but her staff, or more specifically, her front desk receptionist is extremely unprofessional, rude, condescending, lazy, and flat out does not care. There have been many times that I have called during normal business hours trying to make an appointment, but no one would answer the calls, nor would she return the phone calls after numerous voicemails. She has even hung up on me after they have overcharged us and I was trying to get a refund - she did so in such a fashion that you would think she considers herself the queen of England. I am disappointed that Dr. Kelly would hire such a self-important, unfriendly, unhelpful and repelling receptionist. We are forced to change doctors - we are just trying to get treated by a professional doctor, not to be insulted by a receptionist!

Dr. Kelly is an AMAZING doctor, she knows her stuff and is EXTREMELY thorough when diagnosing and is very accurate. We love her! She has referred us to the best doctors too!!! LONG wait time at the office is very frustrating, especially when you are sick. It is difficult to get an appointment sometimes :/

Best of the best
Dr. Kelly has been my physician for the better part of 20 years. She has seen me through some difficult times and hasn't hesitated to refer me to a specialist, when needed. She is a rare find, in that she actually listens to me as a patient and will even tell me, "you know your body best". She is open to discussions, questions, and suggestions, unlike other physicians I have encountered over time. I would highly recommend Dr. Kelly, without hesitation, to anyone seeking a caring healthcare provider.

I have recently moved to Texas and was given Dr. Kelly's number by the Medical Referral Center's Physician Referral Line. I cannot adequately relay the lack of professional discourse I had with Dr. Kelly's Supervising Receptionist when I asked her several polite and simple questions regarding insurance. Ms. Evans was rude, unprofessional, and hung up the telephone on me during our conversation. When I called back to ask for the e-mail address of the office, I was told that they had no e-mail. Ms. Evans told me she was too busy to talk to me. I have always believed that the people one surrounds themselves with is a reflection of the person himself. If this is the case, perhaps Dr. Kelly should retire. And, I now wonder about the quality of health care provided. If this office is not connected to the internet, are they up to date in the practice of medicine?

The best doctor around!
I've been going to Dr. Kelly since 1982. She has always been correct with her initial diagnosis, but always follows up with labs to be sure. She is the most caring doctor I have ever been to and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a doctor. In fact, I HAVE recommended her to others and they have all loved her as much as I do!

Dr. Kelly has been my primary doctor for 20 years. She is an excellent diagnostician and always aware of the newest medicines and trends. Overall she is an excellent physician. Her office manger can be gruff but I go to see Dr. Kelly, not her office manager.

Dr. Kelly has been my PCP for 10 years and the only complaint I have is the wait time to see her, which is more of an organizational problem from a business standpoint than anything else.She has always been thorough and very caring. She spent plenty of time with me getting information, educating me about my problems/medications, and referring me to a specialist when needed. Her office staff has always been welcoming to me, professional, and friendly. She has moved offices a couple times since I've been with her and her new office is updated and prior negative reviews are not reflective of this. Dr. Kelly was very nice and professional as I went from seeing her with my mom in the room to seeing her by myself as I became an adult. She always made me feel comfortable.

Masters first-timers lean heavily on veterans for help
AUGUSTA, Ga. Driving through Augusta National Golf Club's Magnolia Lane sets the stage for a mystical exploration to some of golf's greatest gems — Amen Corner, Rae's Creek, Butler Cabin, the 18 intricate greens, the 43 pearl-white bunkers and a host of other enduring sites all framed by pine trees and azaleas.
For the 20 players making their maiden voyage to the Masters, there's another equally appetizing item on their bucket list to find. Experience.
"The key to playing the Masters, like I try to tell all the guys who are going up there for their first time or first couple times, is to play practice rounds with a guy who knows how to play the course," four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods said. "And then you pick their brains and you just continually ask questions."
MASTERS MEMORY: In 1986, that old Jack magic
TIGER WOODS: Four-time champ gets in some practice
IN FOCUS: The Masters in photos
It worked for Woods. In his first two years as an amateur, he played practice rounds with Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd, Severiano Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, Greg Norman and Fred Couples. He stored vast data on the proper places to miss a shot, how to hit certain chip shots, what angles off the tee and to the green are best for scoring, the keys to playing Augusta National in the wind.
In his third appearance (first as a pro) in the Masters, in 1997, he won by a record 12 strokes. Only Fuzzy Zoeller, in 1979, and Horton Smith and Gene Sarazen, who won the first two Masters, have won the tournament in their first start.
"Where to miss the golf ball, to every pin, is the biggest key," Woods said. "It helps to have that knowledge and pick their brains, and one of the reasons I was able to win so early is because I had that bank of knowledge."
Jeff Overton must have been listening to Woods. Last weekend Overton played Augusta National for the first time — 27 holes with Woods.
"It was cool to pick his brain," Overton said. "He was totally open about how to play certain shots. I learned a ton. Any time you're playing with the best player in the world, it's a cool thing."
It was 10 years ago Monday that Kevin Streelman watched a practice round at Augusta National. Two weeks ago, he played the course for the first time. On Thursday he plays in his first Masters.
"It was a dream come true," Streelman said. "Two weeks ago I got a really good Augusta caddie, who's been here 14 years. And he was awesome. We detailed where you can and can't be. Where the fast putts are, where the slow putts are. I filled my yardage book."
Last week Rickie Fowler had a local caddie on his bag in his first outing at Augusta. He also had Phil Mickelson by his side.
"I played one round with Phil, and being around guys like that that see the place a lot or have played well here definitely helps with preparation," Fowler said. "There were a few putts that there were some different breaks. Obviously with the local caddies, I went out prior to playing with him, so they showed me a little bit, and a lot of stuff that you wouldn't usually pick up. And obviously you don't want to get above the hole here, and you can't stress that enough.
"If I was going into it blind without any help from other players, it would be very tough this week."
The Masters on Monday announced that a limited number of single-day badges will be available for the 2012 tournament, along with badges for practice rounds. All applications for tickets are available exclusively at www.masters.com. Daily tournament ticket applications must be submitted by June 30. The deadline for practice round ticket applications is July 30. The maximum allocation is two tickets for any one day and four for any one day for practice rounds..

By the end of last Sunday night, a banged-up car was the least of Karin Mackaliunas' worries.
At 6:22 p.m., police said, the 27-year-old Scranton, Pennsylvania resident crashed her car into a guardrail on an area highway. It seems that a coffee cup had simply rolled beneath the pedals in her car and caused the accident. As the tow truck was about to take her car to be repaired, the police office on the scene received a call asking the officer to take Ms. Mackaliunas into custody for the theft of some items from a local hotel…
It was reported that the Doctor performing a cavity she on Ms. Mackaliunas discovered 54 bags of heroin, 31 empty bags used to package heroin, prescription pills and $51.22 – all hidden in her vagina.
Mackaliunas was jailed on $25,000 bail on charges including possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Okay, I can understand her trying to hide the drugs, but the money? Even coins?

As everyone knows by now, Ebola has officially spread to the United States, with the first case appearing in Dallas, Texas. Unfortunately, nurses across America are saying that they are untrained and unprepared to deal with the Ebola 'crisis,' unable to take care of patients arriving in the emergency departments infected with Ebola.
Thomas Eric Duncan was initially sent home post his first visit to the emergency room at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital,even after voicing that he had just returned from Liberia – where the Ebola outbreak is present. This is an example of complete incompetence on the hospital staff's part, and supports what nurses are saying about the Ebola outbreak.
So far, Ebola has killed 3,338 people in the deadliest outbreak record. It doesn't compare to things like the Spanish flu pandemic during 1918, killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, or the Asian flu pandemic of 1957, killing 70,000 Americans, but it is still an issue in our modern time that must be prevented and resolved.

Union General William T. Sherman famously said "War is hell." His Confederate counterpart, Gen. Robert E. Lee, agreed, saying, "What a cruel thing war is ... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors." World War II general and Cold War U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said in the 20th century, "After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing."
The hellish cruelty and futility of war was shown again this month in Afghanistan, when an American soldier massacred 17 civilians, including nine children. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is in military custody after the killing spree, facing 17 counts of murder.
Bales was on his fourth combat tour after serving three deployments to the war in Iraq, where he was injured but deemed fit for duty. The sergeant's situation only added to national questions of why we are still in Afghanistan after 10 years of war and why the troops we claim to support often suffer from medical or monetary maladies like post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, unemployment, financial problems and marital stress.
Friends of Bales from his hometown of Norwood, Ohio, remembered him as a helpful kid and a popular teenager — an all-American boy from the heartland of the nation. They expressed shock and sadness that their childhood friend is accused of a mad massacre of innocents in Afghanistan. Michelle Caddell, who had known Bales in Norwood, said in the March 19 New York Times, "That's not our Bobby. Something horrible, horrible had to happen to him."
The horrible thing that happens in Afghanistan and in all wars is that sometimes even the all-American boy and the girl next door can turn into war criminals in the crucible of combat. President Obama rightly said that the murders in Afghanistan "did not represent the exceptional character of our military." Still, the hallways of history are littered with the corpses of innocents who perished as America waged war.
During the infamous Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, American military men in Colorado wrote a bloody chapter in the Indian Wars of the West when they killed scores of Native Americans, mostly women and children. Some of the troops took scalps and other body parts as terrible trophies of their crimes. Even the old "Indian fighter" and Wild West icon Kit Carson was disgusted by the massacre. "I never drew a bead on a squaw or papoose, and I despise the man who would," he fumed.
Skip ahead more than a century to Vietnam in 1968. American soldiers murdered hundreds of Vietnamese civilians during the bloody My Lai Massacre. Another "all-American boy" who became a war criminal, Lt. William Calley, was convicted for his part in the carnage. He was later pardoned by President Richard Nixon — the same commander in chief who accepted a pardon for his own crimes here at home.
The recent massacre in Afghanistan is just one more reason why Americans across the political spectrum have grown weary and wary of the war. On his "Morning Joe" TV show on March 19, longtime Republican Joe Scarborough did not excuse the actions of Bales, but he spoke for millions when he said, "This is what happens when the United States has been an occupying power for more than a decade ... Americans don't want to spend $2 billion a week in Afghanistan anymore and we don't want our sons and daughters dying over there."
Mark Twain was America's most beloved humor writer, but he was a serious opponent of this nation's war in the Philippines. His advice to America in 1906 still applies today: "An inglorious peace is better than a dishonorable war."

NEW TRAILER: Twilight Breaking Dawn – Part 206/20/2012
It's time to get ready, Twilight-verse. You have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Well, wait no more. Here is the new Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 Trailer. Actually it's more like a teaser, but who cares. You will love it all the same.
Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part II, the final installment of Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance saga. Fans will be happy to catch a glimpse of Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) now with their quickly growing offspring Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), but you'll have to wait for more from another trailer because this one is only 1:19 long.
The next and final chapter in "The Twilight Sage" will arrive in theatres on November 16, 2012. Academy Award winner Bill Condon directed both the first and second part of the two-part finale starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. The film, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, was written by Melissa Rosenberg with Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Stephenie Meyer producing.

Dear all,
Any ways to make the ticket description NOT editable. It already become an audit issue because the helpdesk admin accidently edit and save the description.
Thank you in advance for all response.
Dec 22, 2011 at 2:05 UTC
This gave me an idea.... http://community.spiceworks.com/plugin/812%C2%A0; :)
The fields are still technically there, so a determined admin would be able to make adjustments, but it's hidden to prevent casual/accidental edits.
This topic was created during version 5.3.

the helpdesk admin accidently edit and save the description.
Hardly Accidental as it takes effort to do this i.e. One has to enter into EDIT mode. Perhaps instructing the ADMIN staff not to adjust and to only REPLY to tickets might be the easiest way? I can;t see any method of stopping an ADMIN user from making the change.
Interesting Point though............... An option to be able to lock out the original ticket content from any edits.
Dec 22, 2011 at 7:24 UTC
Not possible at this time, but you could try your hand at creating a plugin to achieve this. It could simply grey out the ticket description field or "Read Only" after the ticket is created.
I've used a lot of ticketing systems over the years and I don't think I have seen any with this capability as users don't always have the correct and accurate description allowing the techs to change them for better reporting or searching functionality.
Dec 22, 2011 at 9:15 UTC
Guys, thank u for your replies. I know - this question sounds... stupid. Some people forgets about the famous quote: "with great power comes great responsibility". But still, it's already happened....
It's time to make sure this sort of things never happens again...
By the way Jay6111 - your idea on "Read Only" functionality is the one I'm looking for... Hope someone out there able to show me how....
Dec 22, 2011 at 9:19 UTC
The easiest way is to find a plugin already created that may be similar in functionality but just a different area, then look at the code and modify it to your needs. You can start with the following two tutorials,
And joining the Extending SpiceWorks community,
Dec 22, 2011 at 9:22 UTC
Okay. Thanks.
Dec 22, 2011 at 10:22 UTC
You might be able to write that plugin with a simple CSS line which disables the description field altogether. Content will be there, but they won't have any way of clicking into the field.
Dec 22, 2011 at 2:05 UTC

Well there ya go, ask and you shall receive.....Thanks Aaron!
Dec 22, 2011 at 4:15 UTC
Good plug in Aaron for those that need.
Would you mind whipping together a Plug-In for me please, one that Auto replies to tickets with the correct answers/fixes...............wouldn't that be nice :-)

Artikel pendidikan bahasa Inggris. Ada banyak sekali jenis artikel, dan salah satunya adalah artikel pendidikan. Artikel pendidikan adalah sebuah artikel yang berisikan opini/sudut pandang atau filosofi tentang pendidikan.
Pada kesempatan posting kali ini kita akan berbagi contoh artikel pendidikan yang ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris. Artikel pendidikan bahasa Inggris ini berisikan sebuah opini tentang pentingnya pendidikan dalam membentuk kualitas diri seseorang untuk mencapai level kehidupan yang lebih baik.
Education is the gateway to a better life by fighting for the smallest things to the biggest things that would normally be passed by every human being. Education is a preparation for the pursuit of all that is targeted by someone in their life that without education, it is all dream logic would be very difficult to be realized.
In fact, it is not everyone who educated successfully in the course of his life, but if done comparing the educated people still so much more that can be tasted success than those who have never tasted education, both formal and non-formal education. Education is a tool to develop themselves, mental, mindset and also the quality of a person.
If the person who is equipped science just proved there is still a lot or even a failure, then what about those who are not at all equipped science? Logically they surely would have more difficulty in developing the things that interested him in order to get a better level of life. The process requires a theory of life, and education is the theory can be obtained.
Do not believe a group of people whose opinions are not responsible. Whatever the reason everyone still needs education. Although education does not guarantee a person's success, but the quality of education will equip you better yourself so that you're more likely to get what you aspire. Education is an important tool for the realization of all your dreams.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Contract lawyers have experience writing contracts and agreements; they know the correct contract formats and legal terms to protect and enhance your rights in case things don't go as planned. Should you need to sue someone, a written contract gives the judge a basis for determining your rights. If you want to draw up a legal agreement, if you're wondering if you can get out of a contract that's gone bad, or if you believe that someone has not lived up to the terms of a contract, you should consult a contract lawyer.

The Guardian has a piece on the project in today (Wednesday 21 Nov). You can read it here.
This from Treehugger is good on Bottled Water:
"I am sorry, Evian and San Pellegrino and Dasani and all the other bottled waters out there – Aqua Velva, Wells Fargo, Muddy Waters, Joan Rivers, Jerry Springer, whatever—but the current campaign against paying good money for bottled water when tap water is perfectly good (and very likely purer) is so sensible on the face of it that I am now done with you.
Fini. Kaput. Ausgeschlossen. No more designer water. Water is water. If you want lemon flavoring, add a slice of lemon. You want bubbles, stick a straw in it and blow."
They also have a story about the term 'Locavore' entering the dictionary. Never heard if it. It's just a plate of stovies.

Karen Dilworth - Fan of Football
Football is more than just a sport for many people; it's an identity that describes a fan. For Karen Dilworth, her identity is in the University of Michigan football. There is rarely a time when Dilworth misses a game. A devoted fan, Dilworth makes sure she sets the time aside to watch the game on television or in person if able to. Week in and week out, win or lose, the University of Michigan Wolverines football team has one of their biggest fans cheering for them.
Born and raised in Michigan, Karen Dilworth is an everlasting fan of the football team. No other team could steal her heart away, having fallen in love with the team as a young girl. Even when controversy has filled the University recently, but undeterred is Dilworth, who will be cheering like she did as a child for the Wolverines until she can cheer no more, shows her ongoing support along with other Michigan natives.
It's been over a century that the University of Michigan's football program has rooted itself. In the earliest beginning of the sport itself has the University of Michigan in it. The storied legacy of the university's program is rich in history. Ohio State and Notre Dame have both found themselves as rivals to the Wolverines, and as all of these teams collide for football glory, Dilworth remains unwavering for her team. The University of Michigan has gained respect and endurance as one of the strongest institutions the sport of football at the collegiate level has ever witnessed.

Karachi: Pakistan is considering hiring South African Barry Richards or Australian Greg Chappell to coach the national cricket team, officials said on Wednesday. "We are considering Barry Richards and Greg Chappell and we are trying to contact them, but nothing has been finalised as yet," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Lieutenant General Tauqir Zia told AFP. "When we talk of a qualified coach to effect good results, why not bring a foreigner." Pakistan on Tuesday sacked coach Javed Miandad and named a 15-member coach-less team for the limited over tri-series in Sharjah starting Sunday. Miandad's premature end came after Pakistan's dismal performance in the recently concluded series against New Zealand where they lost the One-day series and drew the three Test match series 1-1 to the host. PCB said it had hired an English fielding coach on a part-time basis. "We have yet to decide about the new coach - but we have hired Somerset's Julian Fountain as a part-time fielding coach," PCB advisory council member Ramiz Raja said. "Fountain has got a huge reputation as he works with the baseball technique and is presently working with the West Indian team." Fountain will arrive in Pakistan in June for a three-month stint and will work in the national cricket academy set up in Lahore. Fielding has been the bane of Pakistan teams, besides inconsistency in overall performance. An English curator is also in Pakistan testing the soil to learn how best to make competitive pitches. "Andy Atkinson, who works for International Cricket Council (ICC), has tested soils at stadiums in Lahore, Sheikhupura and Peshawar and will advise us how to make lively pitches," Raja said. "This is an attempt to systemise our cricket and this will bear fruit in the future." Copyright AFP 2000

While you've been going about your business after the Super Bowl of this year, things have hit an all time low over at RadioShack (NYSE:RSH).
RadioShack is a company that I've been bearish on forever. Much like Sears, the allure of retail shopping has hit an all time low - and RadioShack seems to be one of the likely candidates to get wiped out first.
In the world of Tiger Direct and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), electronic junkies are finding less and less of a reason to head into RadioShack stores. At some point, years ago, things inside the stores changed. The air went from electronics leader to the stink of desperation.
The Shack's CEO had a plan though. Joe Magnacca was planning on closing as many as 1,100 locations in an order to cut losses and turn around the chain. Now, it's looking like the company's lenders have different ideas.
Seeking Alpha reported:
- RadioShack has lost almost half its market cap since the beginning of the year, plunging 9.5% today and coming within pennies of its all-time closing low after reneging on its plan to close up to 1,100 stores.
- RSH said its credit agreement only allows it to close up to 200 stores per year and up to 600 over the life of its credit agreement, prompting Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter to respond that "the creditors clearly are in control of the ship, and in our view, the ship is sinking."
- Pachter sees management and creditors trying to compromise on a smaller number of store closings; otherwise, RSH could declare bankruptcy, holding off the creditors and allowing it to close as many stores as it wants.
The stock continued to respond unceremoniously, to say the least.
This is coming just weeks after RadioShack reported lackluster earnings. RadioShack execs claimed the results were catalyzed by poor holiday sales, advertising and promotional costs, and a very soft "mobility marketplace."
As I said in a previous article: You know those 17 year old kids that really want to sell you a cell phone when you step into the store? They're not pulling their weight.
RadioShack's CEO stated last month:
Over the past few months, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our portfolio from many angles - location, area demographics, lease life and financial performance - in order to consolidate our store base into fewer locations while maintaining a strong presence in each market. The result of that review is our plan to close up to 1,100 underperforming stores. We will continue to have a strong, unmatched presence across the U.S. with over 4,000 stores including over 900 dealer franchise locations.
I was bearish on the company then, and the outlook isn't looking much better for the brick and mortar electronics store now.
One of the most popular articles I wrote on RadioShack was called "These 3 Retailers Won't Make It to 2020", back a couple months ago. And, from the looks of things in RadioShack's case, I could have titled it "These 3 Retailers Won't Make it To 2015".
People sure seem to have been stacking themselves up on the short side of this company for the last couple of years. Meanwhile, the company's net income has fallen off a cliff.
RSH Net Income (Quarterly) data by YCharts
On the other side of the coin, if RadioShack could pull their act together, this could be the time for the ultimate contrarian buy - even though I'm not, in any way advocating that. For instance, the company has a $133 million market cap currently. It's trading at a price/book ratio of 0.71 and still did $3.43 billion in revenue last year. That's $34.10 of revenue per share - how close can the company shave its shares without going into bankruptcy?
The company has $1.79/share in cash, as well.
These metrics could seem enticing to some, but with the way the company is losing money and its lack of a vision on turning things around, none of these matters. RadioShack, as a brand, has likely been tainted for the rest of the foreseeable future.
Would you dare buy RadioShack? I wouldn't.

I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
