text: BusinessUAE rules out dihram revaluation Speculation began after Oman said it cannot meet the deadline for Gulf monetary union. 26 Apr 2007 07:51 GMT Markets were betting that the UAE dirham would be allowed to appreciate against the dollar [AP] Suweidi said in April that Gulf Arab rulers had agreed to keep their exchange rates pegged to the dollar and that the UAE would not change policy unilaterally.The UAE, Saudi Arabia and four other oil producers of the Gulf Cooperation Council pegged their currencies to the dollar to prepare for monetary union in 2010.SpeculationWith that deadline increasingly in doubt, markets have been piling pressure on the UAE dirham and Kuwaiti dinar, betting the central banks would allow them to appreciate against the dollar, which touched a two-year low against the euro on Tuesday.Speculation about Gulf currency revaluations gathered momentum after Oman, one of the six states, said last year it had decided not to meet the 2010 deadline for monetary union.Gulf Arab central bankers met in Saudi Arabia this month to hammer out a deal to put the currency union plan back on track, but failed to achieve a breakthrough.The governors appeared to be divided on currency policy with Oman's central bank chief saying that any agreement to maintain pegs to the dollar was purely informal.Kuwait, considered the most likely country to revalue in a Reuters poll, has said it may widen the band in which the dinar trades against the US dollar or move to a basket of currencies to contain inflation.Kuwait's official news agency appeared to be building a case for a revaluation when it blamed the dinar's peg to the dollar for rising inflation earlier this month.Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar have ruled out any changes to their dollar pegs.

patty, thanks, i needed that today! Christina
- Grandma said...
What a wonderful post Patty. I know a lot of working mothers and wife that try to do it all work 8 hours, then come home and put in another full shift at home preparing dinner, helping with homework, laundry, cleaning, shopping, running errands and spending a little time with their families. They are tired and stressed out from trying to do it all. They all think they need to work outside of the home and climb the company ladder to have success, big homes, vacations, second homes, new cars, and the latest whatever's. We too chose to live on one income; we had less material things and less stress, but overall we have so much more.
- Soup said...
Does not mean working women do not raise good children. I am a full-time career woman but still cook and do housework without any live in maid yet I produce a Doctor and an Architect. In this modern world husband and wife have the responsibility to provide a good living environment for the family.
- Patty said...
Dear Soup, I so agree, working women can have wonderful families, just as stay at home moms can have disaster families. For us, it was our goal to homeschool our children and so that was the road we took, which meant I stayed home.
I just wish more women took pride in their work at home, like cooking etc, which from your blog I see you do exceptionally well : ) I enjoyed reading about your wonderful food
- Teri said...
I enjoyed this post very much. I've been both an out-of-house and in-house working mom, and am simply grateful for those moments where I feel like I'm being precisely the mom the child I'm dealing with at that moment needs. You can see it in their eyes when you responded to a situation or a comment they made exactly as they needed you to - those are my most gratifying and grateful mom moments.

E.F Schumacher has a great book I've been exploring: Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered.
To be completely honest, the reason I stumbled upon Schumacher is due to the title of his book–I got a chuckle when I read it.
You can read about the old-school economist on wikipedia, but the quick summary on Schumacher is that he was an influencer economist in the UK and a protege of John Maynard Keynes.
Schumacher has some fun insights on complexity:
All changes in a complex mechanism involve some risk and should be undertaken only after careful study of all the facts available.
And my favorite quote:
Any third-rate engineer or researcher can increase complexity; but it takes a certain flair of real insight to make things simple again.

2016 Jaguar F-Type, is coming soon. New for 2016, Jaguar's F-Type added a hardtop coupe edition that excited us much more than the roadster. The outperforming proceeds this year, as the F-Type schedule includes four-wheel drive and also a new manual-transmission choice on base versions– and also completes out the schedule with a prosper through the brand-new F-Type Exchangeable R.
With the F-Type, Jaguar has a genuine sports car. No shade-throwing at the now-retired XK, however it was a purer marvelous tourer, not a leaner, meaner alternative to Boxsters and also 4Cs as well as Corvettes.
In addition to that, Jaguar has included what may be one of the most considerable brand-new attributes to the F-Type of all– a longer common service warranty, a longer period of complimentary upkeep, as well as a longer period free of cost connected-car services.
Absolutely nothing changed with the styling, and that's excellent. The 2016 Jaguar F-Type riffs on the contemporary, however harks back to a few traditional Jaguar hints, as well as shrink-wraps them around its two-seat body like nubile skin. It's necessary, contemporary, and even stocked with merely adequate hints at the taillights and also fenders to recall Jaguar tales of the past. Yes, some Maserati as well as Corvette impacts exist, particularly at the front end, but the F-Type amounts itself up ideal around its muscular shoulders and even thick haunches, both of which show off much more vividly on the hardtop.
2016 Jaguar F-Type Desing
The cabin's a focused, extreme setting. The assesses tuck deeply into binnacles, while the guest obtains a grab manage– a wordless confirmation of its true goal as much as the orange-tinted start switch and even shift paddles. There's no wood trim to be discovered, yet carbon fiber as well as red natural leather are on the can-have list. Ancillary details is displayed on a huge LCD display; environment controls have popular positions on the stack as rotary knobs with press features for seat heating.
All grand-touring bias obtains swept away as you climb the F-Type ladder, from standard supercharged V-6 to phenomenal supercharged V-8. The six-cylinders are 3.0-liter systems, one tuned to 340 horse power, an additional to 380-hp song. The 0-60 mph quotes for these array from 5.1 secs and even 4.8 seconds, respectively, and even full blast are limited to 161 miles per hour and even 171 mph.
2016 Jaguar F-Type drivetrain upgrades give the F-Type a bigger internet to cast for rivals. Six-speed cars with rear-wheel drive could now be had with 6-speed manual. Four-wheel drive is currently supplied on 380-hp cars. We aspire to drive both variations in a couple of short weeks.
2016 Jaguar F-Type Engine
In 2014 Jaguar offered a V-8-powered roadster in 495-horsepower trim, with rear-wheel drive. That design's been stopped, but it's fine– the replacement is the matching of the smashing Sports car R. Now offered in either body design, with basic all-wheel drive, the huge supercharged V-8 in the R designs nets 550 hp, and also the quickest 0-60 miles per hour time of 3.9 seconds, as well as a ranked top speed of 186 miles per hour. An 8-speed automatic is the sole transmission, but flexible controls as well as shift paddles make it an excited, quick-responding friend to either engine.
Based on past drives of carryover variations, the F-Type measures up to its sportscar intent, though it still carries a reasonable amount of weight, which filters off some utmost guiding feel in all versions, also the or else otherworldly Coupe R. It's crafted from aluminum like the XK, however it's shorter, though still larger compared to the Boxster and even Cayman, its main competitors, and also at 3,500 pounds and also up, bigger.
In the end, the aluminum is much less about weight reduction than weight balance. The F-Type's fundamental configuration fasts as well as active enough, however it remains in the higher-output 6 and even the eight-cylinders, with adaptive dampers, where it truly invades sportscar area. It does not have the finer precision of a Boxster or Cayman up until you choose into the track-able Coupe R– at which point the rorty, yaw-happy F-Type goes fully in on grip and responsiveness. We think it's more amusing to drive than almost anything in its course, other than the Cayman S and potentially, the Corvette Stingray Z51.
Functionally, the F-Type experiences for being a sportscar, yet any more compared to those worthy rivals. The roadster's trunk is tiny; the sports car has a better rear freight location that might hold 2 golf bags if pushed. The cabin is appropriately spacious for 2 grownups, so long as their legs aren't 99th-percentile. On roadsters, the exchangeable top is power-operated and folds in such a way that no tonneau cover is searchinged for. It also lowers or rises into location in 12 secs, at speeds of approximately 30 mph. Both it and even the sports car are happily quiet on the move, till you cause their adrenaline-stirring degrees of overrun.
Ultimately,2016 Jaguar F-Type luxury functions haven't been left off the sportscar's menu merely to save a few ounces– not if the well-off purchaser wants them. The F-Type's power sport seats have manual fore/aft modifications to conserve weight, however updated "Efficiency" seats are an option, as is full power change. The stereo originates from Meridian, now standard with 770 watts of power. Various other basic features consist of HD and XM radio, keyless entry, and even 14-way power seats. Coupes also get breathtaking glass requirement. F-Type S designs now come gratis with the energetic exhaust system, a flat-bottom wheel, and also driver-configurable dynamics. R Coupes also get power tailgate; AWD models obtain a brand-new aero bundle requirement. All variations currently come with Jaguar's new InControl smartphone connectivity as well as infotainment user interface.
And even as we pointed out, the F-Type currently features five years or 60,000 miles of service warranty, maintenance, roadside aid, and even connected-car solutions.
2016 Jaguar F-Type Price
The base 340-hp supercharged V-6 coupe sets you back $65,000 with handbook; the roadster is $3,100 more. The 380-hp supercharged six automobiles start from around $77,300, with a $6,000 uptick for all-wheel drive. The V-8-powered F-Type Coupe R is priced from $103,600, exchangeable from $106,450.

To be really angry at baby massage teacher ....grrrrrrr(118 Posts)
I went to baby massage today with ds2, I took ds1 when he was little and it was great and I made some good friends.
Its in a birthing centre which shouldnt make any difference to what Im going to say.
We all had to go round the room and say our names, babys names etc and then she said 'how are you feeding' and added 'og but its doesnt matter, it really makes no difference' several times, therefore clearly indicating that it made a difference, as there is everything handy there for both bf and ff mums.
Then she went on to say that the two of us that were bottle feeding may be missing out on the bonding that the other mothers have got with their babies and that the massage should help us get closer because we probably havent bonded as well as bf mums WTF?????
I was about to say something as she asked the other ff mother if she had attempted to bf, and the poor new mum (1st baby) said shyly that she had tried but just couldnt get on.
Im sooo fucking angry about this, she didnt ask me, probably because she could see the look on my face, I might tell her next week the reason why I didnt continue to bf and shut her up.
Im angry and feel sorry for other mum and how she must have felt, Im on dc3 so couldnt give a flying you know what now really what people say to me.
The others mums looked a bit too and a bit uncomfortable tbh
that is incredibly insensitive
i think you should say something to her if you feel you can
i think you were restrained not to this time around
No, I'd be angry too. I am amazed you managed to contain yourself and not tear her a new one challenge her.
Absolutely appalling behaviour. I would have been furious.
I would say something to her. Stupid cow.
mine should have said YANBU
I wouldn't go back. But then you are cutting your nose off to spite your face.
You should say something to her next week, but politely. Don't rant. Just get their early, ask for a quite word and say 'I really thought your comments about feeding last week were inappropriate and insensitive and I just thought I should mention it, in case you weren't aware?'.
Put her on the backfoot, so she has to explain herself.
But YANBU. She has no right to make these sort of assumptions.
One of the reasons that bf is erroneously cited as helping the bonding process is because of the skin to skin contact you have over and over again through the day. You release falling in love hormones when you have skin to skin contact with someone and so does your baby, so breastfeeding enables lots of that. It's not the feeding, it's the skin to skin contact. Baby massage creates lots of extra skin to skin contact where you and your baby will release lots of feeling loved/falling in love hormones.
She's trying to help, not to be rude. You are being oversensitive and defensive.
I think she just used tactless words, she shouldn't have pointed out who was or wasn't, or asked you to say. She could have just as easily said 'if you are FFing, you may find that you can recreate some of the bonding that comes more easily if you Bfeed' but I can't see that she would have been doing it to make a point, more to be kind.
If she's a massage teacher she should be teaching massage, not giving her opinions on feeding methods - particularly in a way that could make women feel bad/angry. I think it's worth mentioning to her that she was being insensitive.
Oh gosh. She sounds a right twonk.
Might not have bonded as well....indeed.
I can understand why you're cross, but she just sounds so utterly crass and lacking in social grace I'd feel a wee bit sorry for her.
I'd probably snigger at her a bit too.
YANBU. What a prize cow that woman is. Some people just need a slap round the face to wake them up to the real world outside their 'isn't everything perfect' bubble.
Yes, we all know that in the majority of circumstances, BFing confers a lot of advantages to the child. But, quite apart from the fact that bonding with a child has more to do with the temperament of mother and offspring, it's damned insensitive of her to presume she knows better than the mother in question. What if that poor woman had a genuine medical condtion which prevented her? Okay, chances are she doesn't, and it was a lack of support which made her stop, (which is an equally valid reason IMO) but either way, that's downright sh*y.
That's appalling! And there was no reason at all to do it - it's none of her business, doesn't affect the class and if you are all at baby massage anyway it's unnecessary to point out any difference in how useful it might or might not be to you.
I am massively pro-BF but that is not something anyone should say to new mothers, and especially when they have no idea of the circumstances. Way to make people feel crap and inadequate and air her own views when they have nothing to do with the class at all.
I would be writing a letter, once I'd calmed down!
mrswobble I totally understand all that, and I can understand why youre told all that at antenatal classes and after giving birth, as its relevant then and the more people who bf the better.
However all these babies are 8 weeks and over, so those of us that are ff cant change it even if we wanted to.
I just felt she was splitting the group into ff's and bf's which is unfaur.
I also dont believe that I havent bonded as well with my baby as a mum who's bf her child. Im sure there are plenty of bf mums who havent been able to bond, the pair are not exclusive.
anna thats great, she is a very nice lady so Im sure I could do that, im not even sure it was intentional.
I wish I could have spoken to the other mum when we left, I hope she didnt feel bad but I had to rush and pick up ds1.
lambanana i do want to go back because I had so much fun doing it with ds1, and it was the same woman, but I dont remember her being like that last time
I LOVE coming across women like this.
They generally ask, all earnest, head inclined, soft voice, if I had problems establishing BF. I soon learned the most fun response is "Nah, couldn't be arsed"
That is incredibly insensitive. With DS1, every week the baby massage teacher went round the room asking the babies' names, ages and some other random question like whether your baby had teeth yet. I guess that the asking a question thing must be a way of breaking the ice.
It was inappropriate of your teacher to ask the ff/bf feeding (a highly emotive issue) - and even more so for her to make public comments about people's answers. I'm not sure what you can do about it. Perhaps you could e-mail her?
In my opinion, any professional who comes into contact with new mothers should not make any comment about feeding that could be perceived as a value judgement.
It's unprofessional.
.... and people wonder why terms like 'lactivists' are in use. I would ask for a refund. That way her bosses will be pissed off with her! (I breastfed, but I hate that ramming it down new mothers' throats stuff).
YANBU. What a patronising nasty woman.
It's hard to tell if she was BU or not.
It does sound as though she was just (clumsily) trying to promote baby massage with the bonding stuff.
And could she have asked about the breastfeeding because, working in a birthing centre, she wants to get to the root of what might be causing problems for mums?
I would have been livid if this had been said to another class member. It has no bearing on anything SHE's doing - they are 8 weeks, no 2 hours old!
MrsWobble, as others have pointed out it's a highly emotive issue and she didn't need to say anything at all. Those women who were ff don't need it pointed out to them that some people think they won't bond with their babies as well as if they'd bf, and they'd already made a decision to do baby massage so she doesn't need to 'sell' it to them in that way anyway.
She was just being very very thoughtless, and she needs telling before she seriously upsets someone.
Mrswobble FFS I breast fed first two and bottle fed DS who was last at the mo he is more loving than DDs at the mo. And FYI my "falling in love hormones" were v. strong with all 3, the bottle made no difference Horses fo courses and people should never judge another woman for her choices. Icoach young kids but would never praech to mums on the few kids still in nappies it is not my place I stick to what I am trained to do. Your massage teacher is wrong, unprofessional and shhe overstepped the line you are not over sensitive
So does that mean i am not bonded with my 7 year old, as he was not bf, that was purely because he didnt like it, but my youngest was bf, and my relationship with both was fine, we still bonded.

New school hip-popish with older 90s corporate-airport element. Pretty dope. Kinda nostalgic actually.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The whole song is smooth and chillin. What stood out uncomfortably was effect beat on 1:25 and 4:30. I think I got the right time. Keep enjoying music!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is excellent. I like this a lot and I hope it gets featured. Silky smooth melody with a sick beat to boot. I dig your style and your understanding of music theory in general is really evident in your productions.

the song is quite beautiful actually this is pretty impressive
i really cannot see anything wrong with it
nice job keep it up! ^_^
also i replied to your emailfor the collab
Heeee~ thank you, as always, B. It makes me happy that you review like, almost every song I do--it's so great. I can't wait to get this collab going, because you're such a good artist too!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is really well made. From all that is going on, I can tell that this is really thought out. There is one thing that rubs me that gets to me though. It feels like at around 4:04 that the synth overshadows your background a bit too much. But this is my problem. Don't let my opinion change yours!
Keep it up good song.
Thank you! I actually want to shorten this version a little to make more of a radio-edit. And no, you are actually right. I was conflicted about that synth but I really liked it and wanted to keep it in there. Instead of eliminating it though, I might just compress it and lower the sound a little bit--thank you for noticing and mentioning that!

Killeen Personal Injury Attorney Michael Grossman
To say that Killeen is a fast growing city is an understatement. Since the year 2000, Killeen has almost doubled in size. While this rapid growth is welcome by most in the community and provides greater opportunities for local residents, it does come with a cost.
Even growth half as slow as that experienced by Killeen is enough to stress the infrastructure of any community. Add to that an influx of new business, not all of them honest, and what you end up with is a recipe for more people suffering injuries.
While some of these injuries are the result of accidents, a fair number are the product of someone else's negligence. When people negligently injure someone else, the law holds them accountable for their actions and allows victims to obtain compensation for their injuries. In our experience, the law is consistent with the values of Killeen and Temple residents, particularly holding people accountable for their actions.
In this article, Killeen personal injury attorney Michael Grossman discusses what kinds of accidents people can recover compensation for as well as some of the things they should look for when hiring a personal injury attorney.
Questions answered on this page:
- What kinds of accidents for the basis of most personal injury lawsuits?
- What qualities should I look for in a personal injury attorney?
- Do I need an attorney to obtain compensation?
Common Areas of Personal Injury Law
Contrary to what some tort reformers may have you believe, obtaining compensation in a personal injury lawsuit is not just about finding someone with deep pockets and trying to "pin the blame" on them. Such a caricature distorts the field of personal injury law, portraying it as something akin to the Wild West, where personal injury attorneys are the villains wearing black.
The plain fact of the matter is that personal injury law is older than the United States, with its roots in English common law. The idea is that absent a written law, we still owe one another a duty to be careful in certain situations and make sure no one gets hurt. Over time, the Texas Legislature has had its say by refining the common law with specific rules that our elected representatives see fit to implement.
It still remains that based upon what a person or business is doing at a particular moment, they have obligations to engage in safe behavior and not injure other citizens. When they do, the law allows victims to pursue compensation through personal injury lawsuits.
Common grounds for lawsuits include:
- Car Accidents:
This is the type of personal injury scenario that most people are familiar with. There are literally hundreds of thousands of car accidents in Texas each year. Thankfully, the vast majority of car accident victims have only minor property damage and no injuries. However, insurance companies are notorious for undervaluing injuries and ignoring other rightful damages claims, like lost wages.
For claims involving property damage, there is rarely a need to retain a lawyer, however if there are substantial non-property injuries, it is best to consult an attorney about your case.How To Tell When a Car Accident Injury or Fatality Is Caused By a Defect Read More >
- Truck Accidents:
While not as common as car accidents, commercial truck accidents come with their own unique challenges. The first is that commercial trucks are required to carry at least $1,000,000 of insurance if they operate in Texas, meaning that the stakes are so high for an insurance company that they will never admit their client's responsibility.
The strong-arm tactics that insurance companies employ in these situations, including tracking estranged family members to dig up dirt on the victim, data mining their social media sites, and other behaviors are par for the course when dealing with commercial truck insurers. The only way to fight back is with an experienced truck accident attorney who knows their games and how to beat them to get the compensation that victims so desperately need.
- Drunk Driving Accidents:
Few types of personal injury accidents are as frustrating as drunk driving accidents. While in any personal injury case, the accident could have been prevented, in drunk driving accidents the only things that stopped the accident from being prevented was the selfishness and stupidity of the drunk driver, coupled with the greed and indifference of an alcohol provider.
The second part of that equation is crucial in getting victims all of the compensation they are entitled to. Many attorneys will sign up a drunk driving case and only pursue the insurance company of the drunk driver. They never even bother to inquire about where the drunk driver got their alcohol. This is a shame, because Texas law holds alcohol providers who unlawfully serve drunk patrons liable for the damages that result from that alcohol service. Essentially, inexperienced personal injury attorneys let these bad actors off the hook entirely.How the trucking industry stacks the deck in their favor Read More >
- Dram Shop Law:
This area of the law is related to, but not exactly the same as the dram shop provisions that affect many drunk driving cases.
Put most simply, Texas law holds alcohol providers responsible for injuries that occur as the result of unlawful alcohol service. This is known as dram shop law. While many dram shop accidents involve drunk driving accidents, dram shop provisions also cover those who suffer injuries due to property defects, fights, or other injuries that result from a bar continuing to serve an obviously intoxicated person.
While dram shop law offers a powerful incentive for alcohol providers to play by the rules, it is a rigorous, detailed oriented field of law. There is no such thing as an easy dram shop case, which is why many law firms will not accept these cases in the first place. More worrisome for victims is that many attorneys who known nothing about dram shop cases will take on these cases in the hopes of bluffing their way to a quick settlement. This rarely works out in the client's best interests.
Luckily, the Killeen personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices have handled literally hundreds of these cases. Few firms in Texas can claim have successfully handled as many cases as our firm. In this area of the law, experience can make all of the difference.
- Workers' Compensation:
Work accidents are particularly confusing in Texas, since two parallel systems are in place to deal with work-related injuries. The more well known is the workers' compensation system. This is a no-fault benefits plan, which employers pay into and it provides modest benefits for employees in the event that they get injured on the job.
While workers' compensation may sound like a straight-forward proposition (and it is for most workers), problems arise when benefits are improperly denied or mishandled. These problems usually have two sources. First, the law permits certain limited defenses that allow insurance companies and employers to deny benefits to injured workers. Most of these exceptions deal with situations where the worker inflicted their own injury, were engaged in horseplay, or weren't really working at the time of the injury.
The second area where problems arise comes when insurance companies improperly deny treatment. Insurance companies have a vested interest in making sure that costs are kept as low as possible, which can lead to short cuts in treatment. When this occurs, there are systems set up to dispute the insurance company's ruling within workers' compensation. These are meant to be navigated by injured workers without the help of attorneys, but the problem is that insurance companies will have attorneys preparing their arguments. In these instances it can make sense to get an attorney just to level the playing field and bolster your chances of success.
- Non-Subscriber Work Accidents:
The other system for injured workers in Texas is referred to as the non-subscriber system. In Texas, employers are given the choice of whether or not they want to participate in the workers' compensation system. Those who opt-out are referred to as non-subscribers. Opting out saves employers the cost of paying for workers' compensation insurance, but it also increases their potential liability if their negligence causes a workers' injuries.
Unlike the workers' compensation system, employees of non-subscribers are not guaranteed benefits in the event they are injured on the job. Instead, they are free to pursue a work injury claim against their employers. In fact, pursuing such a claim is the only way to compel an employer to provide compensation if you have been injured due to their negligence.
While this system imposes a larger burden on the injured worker, it also raises the possibility that an injured worker can recover the full amount of their damages, which is never possible under workers' compensation. To pursue this type of claim it is imperative to retain an attorney with experience in this area of the law, like the Killeen personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices.How Employers Often Get Away With Negligence In this article, we explain how work injury law has morphed over the years to protect employers and what can be done about it...Read More >
- Bus Accidents:
While many people might be inclined to think that bus accidents are similar to car accidents and truck accidents, the fact is that they can be even more complicated. Buses are generally required to have more insurance than even commercial trucks, which brings the same problems that recovering from a commercial truck policy have.
However, bus accidents get even more complicated, since many buses are run by government entities. This means that the Texas Tort Claims Act applies to these cases. This act limits the amount of money that can be recovered when suing a government entity, in addition to imposing extra burdens and filing deadlines on injury victims. This creates a need for injury victims to act more quickly than they would in other personal injury lawsuits. In fact, in some instances, injury victims have as little as 45 days to put the government on notice that they intend to sue them.
In such a complex environment it is absolutely imperative to have an attorney who knows the law and knows how to act quickly in order to preserve your right to recover compensation.
- Premises Liability Law:
The law imposes on property owners a duty of care, designed to protect visitors to a property. When the property owner fails in this duty, they can be liable for any ensuing injuries. This area of the law is known as premises liability law.
While these accidents are often mocked in the media as "slip and fall" accidents, the fact is that such accidents have as much merit as any other personal injury lawsuit. For victims of such accidents, the compensation they need is every bit as important as it is for someone who is injured by a drunk driver.
The real problem with this area of the law, and why it requires an attorney to pursue a case, is because it is very fact specific. The duty a property owner owes is based upon a reason for a person being on the property. Grocery store shoppers are owed far more consideration than a burglar would be. Arguments over how to classify a visitor are often at the heart of a premises liability case. The difference between being able to effectively argue why a person was on a property and why they are owed a certain duty of care can be the difference in a victim being compensated or receiving nothing.
Finding the Right Killeen Personal Injury Attorney
We know that many people do not have a lot of lawyers in their circle of friends. This can make the task of finding the right personal injury attorney for your case seem daunting. Most people don't even know what to look for, they just know that they need to file a lawsuit and they need someone to help them.
The biggest piece of advice we can give anyone looking to hire an attorney is to find someone you feel comfortable working with. If something doesn't feel right, shop around, there are plenty of lawyers out there. Sadly, many attorneys feel that people get injured to give them a living, not that they make a living by helping injured people. One of the biggest ways this manifests itself is that many attorneys hate to return phone calls, hate to answer questions, and generally feel that you should be grateful that they agreed to help you in the first place.Myth - Insurance Carriers Must Pay Accident Victims This is not how insurance works at all. In this article, we address the myth and explain how insurance policies actually do work...Read More >
Another key to finding the right attorney is to not be afraid to ask about their courtroom experience. For most people, their personal injury lawsuit is the biggest legal case of their lives, they have the right to feel confident that their attorney can win the case, should it go to trial. An attorney who can win in the courtroom is also fantastic leverage when negotiating a fair settlement. When defense attorneys know that your attorney won't go to trial, they tend to make lower offers of compensation, because your leverage is reduced. The opposite is true when your attorney has a track record of convincing juries, like the attorneys at Grossman Law Offices.
Lastly, find an attorney who will explain things to you in plain, simple, English. Far too many attorneys hide behind the complexity of the law. This may make them feel empowered, but it prevents the client from being able to give effective input concerning big issues, like whether or not to accept a settlement offer. If you don't understand what your attorney is trying to tell you, you need to find another attorney. If you can't understand the attorney's contract to be hired on as your attorney, you should look for another lawyer.
At Grossman Law Offices, we believe that when a law firm is looking out for their clients' best interests, you only need a single page contract that essentially says, "You've hired us, you can fire us, and here's what we charge." Many firms have contracts that run 7, 8, even 20 pages. We don't know what other law firms need with those extra pages, but we're pretty sure whatever is in there is in their law firm's best interest, not yours.
Ultimately, a lawsuit is a partnership, where you, the injured, are the senior partner. Whether the case is successful or not will not change most attorney's lives, but it will have a dramatic impact on yours. We encourage everyone to shop around, do their homework, and only work with an attorney who they feel like they can trust to work on their behalf.Why The Law Holds Bars Accountable For Drunk Driving Accidents Read More >
If you think you might need and attorney, give us a call.
It may seem like circular logic, but the only way to know if your case needs an attorney is to call and speak with one. The law can be both complex and very fact dependent, meaning there are no hard and fast rules about when you need an attorney. One thing that you should know is that many people are surprised when they call Grossman Law Offices and we tell them that they shouldn't need an attorney for their case.
We give this advice fairly often, because if you've been offered fair compensation, or can get it without an attorney, it's a waste of your precious compensation for you to hire an attorney. At Grossman Law Offices we believe that an attorney should have to work for a living just like everyone else. That means getting clients more compensation than they could get on their own. If we can't do that, we don't sign up a case. We're not in business to get a cut of someone else's money, we're in business to practice law.

How to Fill an Irregular Space with a Scenery Image
In this Clinic, we will show you how to add a Lake to a
background scene. You can use this same technique though
to "fill in" any type of irregular space that you have on your
layout. Generally speaking, this technique works best with
images from the "background" scenery folder which would normally
be applied to large spaces in either the foreground or
background layer of your layout plan
Step 1: adding a valley to a rocky area
Step 3: - working through the Windows File Manager
location of Scenery images
Keep clicking and drilling down!
Step 4:
Bringing up a thumbnail viewer
Step 4:
Make your selection
Step 5: A double click and the image fills the space
Step 6 - Just add Water - we design another
space where we want to locate our little lake
Step 7 More Editing
being done - using the tile feature will smooth out
many of the images BUT be sure to check the overall effect since
you may not like the "overlap" associated with the Tile feature
Step 8 - Applying your changes
to the end product - you may also want to go to the Line tab and change
the Line size to zero.
Step 8 - Applying your changes

One Week in England: Bath5 May 2010
There was not much that could have seen us up with the dawn, blearily admiring the architecture of the inside of Paddington rail station first thing in the morning after our busy day at Windsor aside from a day trip to Bath. Both my mother and I had selected Bath as our little city break of choice while she was visiting the UK – she for the architecture and fond memories of a little trip while she had lived here before and me for its literary and historical heritage and ties to Jane Austen. It was less than two hours on the train but we were off to a grim start as the clear skies from the day before had darkened and as we pulled out of Paddington rain began to join us for the journey.
While my mother dozed and I worried about the weather, we escaped London (and the London Marathon which was also on that day) and travelled into the gorgeous English countryside. By the time we arrived in Bath, we were both feeling a little better – her with a rest and me with the clearer skies and both with the 2-for-1 coupons that came along with our Great Western Rail tickets. We were quick to take advantage of those by signing up for the open-top bus tour, a great option in Bath as there were two different routes, both of which included with our ticket – one that took us around the outskirts of the city and one that took us through the city itself.
We began with the city outskirts and our bus driver escorted us up into the high hills around Bath which sits in a low valley. At the top of Claverton Down we had an absolutely stunning view of the city stretched out below. What was most impressive was the city sprawl compared to the historic city centre of the Roman era – but despite the urban modern growth, all of the buildings still used a facade of Bath stone, giving the entire city a uniform look and feel. Our bus tour continued around past Prior Park, a massive mansion nearly a mile long and built near the original Bath stone quarries. Unfortunately we couldn't get too close to the house as it's now a boarding school, but our glimpses through the trees were impressive enough.
We next opted for the city open top bus tour which gave us a bit more of the local history. We passed the Roman Baths, the Jane Austen museum, the Royal Crescent and learned about the Roman, Regency and modern history of the area. While it was all very interesting, the story of the city took second place in the queue for our attention when compared to the amazing architecture of the city.
After our two bus tours, we had a quick break for a delicious lunch at authentic Nepalese restaurant Yak Yeti Yak before visiting the first attraction – the Roman Baths. The Baths are some of the best preserved Roman architecture and historical sites in the UK and built on top of the hot springs that bubble up from below the earth's surface. The Romans believed the space was sacred and offered a portal to a deity however this did not stop them from taking advantage of the leisure activities that a hot spring provided. While one pool remained untouched, a sacred place of worship, metres away the Romans had built a massive leisure centre, amazingly advanced for the first century AD, which featured hot and cold pools, a sauna and steam room, and communal areas for relaxation and wellbeing.
The Romans, and later the English during the Regency period, believed that 'taking the waters,' that is, drinking directly from the hot springs, could cure any illness and although it's not recommended to drink directly from the springs today, the restaurant at the Roman Baths offered a filtered version for visitors to taste. While my mother refused, I gulped down the whole, slightly sulphuric-tasting, glass – that should cover doctor's visits for the next year or so!
After the Baths, we headed north to the Fashion Museum, a place where we were hoping to find Regency era costumes but what turned out to be more of a local homage to modern fashion. It was a small museum and actually quite enjoyable despite not being quite what we expected. There were a few historic fashion touches, however, and I got to indulge my desire for whalebone corsets and hoop skirts to make a comeback with a dress up area for adults.
It was getting quite late in the day and it didn't look like we would have time to properly appreciate the Jane Austen museum (and I was slightly loathe to bring my mother inside, horrified after she repeatedly referred to it as the Emily Dickinson Museum) but couldn't bring myself to bypass the monument to the authoress completely. Instead of the museum (and let's be honest, there probably wasn't much I didn't already know), we headed to the top floor of the building to the Jane Austen Regency Tea Rooms where some Bath Buns, tea and the late afternoon sunlight were the perfect break in our afternoon.
It was a Sunday so the shops were already closed but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise – we walked down to the Pulteney Bridge, an amazing bit of architecture where the bridge was built to include shops on either side of the road, and south along the river. In the sun (the rain now long forgotten) and with the stunning buildings, flowers and local beauty, we really couldn't have been happier.
A calm dinner featuring French flavours and a bottle of wine at the Brasserie Gerard wrapped up the day before the short walk back to the train station and the ride back to London. While we had a busy day of London history ahead of us, our day trip to Bath was the perfect Sunday activity and we both enjoyed the day immensely.

Day two of our England exploration saw us hopping the green 401 bus west to Windsor where we planned to visit the Windsor Castle. Additionally, my mother had fond memories of shopping in Windsor from when we lived in the UK years ago so she was looking forward to getting a chance to acclimate to the UK shopping climate.
As it turned out, we weren't the only, nor the most important, people to have the same idea – the Queen herself was also in town staying at Windsor for the weekend and we arrived just in time to see the changing of the guard at Windsor Castle. Although we didn't see her majesty we did see a lot of red coats and furry black hats.
After the guard had passed, we made our way into the Castle grounds and aimed straight for the royal apartments. Fortunately we'd arrived early enough to beat most of the crowd and enjoyed a morning of touring some of the inner chambers of the palace which have been either recreated or restored to give an idea of how the royal family used the space hundreds of years ago. Of course, the palace is still in use today and some of the rooms, including the dining and reception rooms, are used regularly for royal functions.
After our tour through the castle, which included a detour to the gorgeous St. George Chapel on the castle grounds, we made our way into the little town of Windsor for lunch and, most important of all, shopping.
The rest of the day passed quickly enough, with numerous shop stops, before we boarded the bus back to London. We were making our way back to the Top Floor Flat to meet Top Floor Flatmate Ann for dinner at our favourite local pub and a big plate of fish and chips for mom. The fish and chips were a huge hit – and she was immensely impressed (significantly moreso than I was) that I found bones in my plate of fish. Apparently fish and chips in the US bears a strong resemblance to processed fish fingers than anything that ever came from the sea.
It was another early night as the next morning was going to be an early one… we had a train to catch.

April 23rd marked an incredibly momentous occasion – namely the arrival of my mother to the (surprisingly) sunny shores of the UK to visit me here at the Top Floor Flat. While she had been to England before, it had been nearly twenty years and I was going to waste no time in showing off my favourite parts of the city, my office, the flat, and some of the nearby attractions just outside London. With little regard for her poor, jet-lagged self, we set from the airport for a whirlwind week of tourism. I'll give a day by day account of our travels but here is a sneak preview of all of the places we visited during her six and a half days in the UK. Not bad, eh?
View Lila's London Trip in a larger map
Before we launch into the trip, here's a list of the most important things to have as a tourist in London:
- Oyster card: these travel cards allow cheaper and easier travel on all London transport. For my mom's trip, I got her an Oyster card with a one week, zones 1 and 2 travel card and £5 extra. This would allow her unlimited travel through the centre of London on the underground, unlimited bus travel anywhere in London, and some extra to cover out of zone underground travel (such as to the airport or to Wimbledon, in zone 3).
- Raincoat and small umbrella: although the weather cooperated with us while she was here, this is essential kit for any London traveler. Not only does it protect against the frequent rain, but London can be quite windy even when it's not cold or raining so the coat can alternatively be a windbreaker.
- Good shoes: London is an immensely walkable city. No reason not to take advantage of this but make sure you have comfy shoes! Good shoes are also useful when a task-master daughter insists on 8+ hours of walking per day on a crazy itinerary.
- Water bottle: If you're going to be walking all day, especially if you're planning to partake in any aspect of Britain's pub culture in the evening, better make sure you're well-hydrated.
On Friday after her arrival in Heathrow, my mother was all for going straight to sleep however having had someone to do the same for me when I first arrived in London, I insisted that she drop her bags and come outside for a walk around Knightsbridge and Kensington. Not only would this help her overcome her jetlag by forcing her to stay awake through the afternoon, but it was gloriously sunny and I had no idea how long that weather would last!
We started by catching the number 10 bus which took us east down High Street Kensington. Public buses are probably the best kept secret in London tourism – for £1 with an Oyster card, you can see huge amounts of the most famous parts of the city and while you might not have a tour guide telling you about the surroundings, you do have a chance to get the upper front seat on the double-decker buses.
We got off the number 10 just outside the Royal Albert Hall, having passed by the Kensington Palace at the westernmost end of Hyde Park. My mother was immediately impressed by the Albert Memorial, a gigantic golden monument to Queen Victoria's husband, Albert, which may be a bit gaudy by today's tastes but is certainly a sight to behold. Just across the street was the Royal Albert Hall, where in the past I've attended the BBC Proms musical events. Nearby, a classic red phone box proved the perfect location for a cliché but absolutely necessary series of phone box photos. Check one tourist box and my mom hadn't even been off the plane three hours!
We made our way south, through Imperial College and the many music and science buildings in the area, down Exhibition Road, and detoured west to admire the architecture of the Natural History Museum. The building is as impressive as its contents and we weren't the only ones using the space as a photo stop. Although we took a quick look inside, the darkness and quiet of the museum we not going to be any help in keeping my mother awake so we headed back out into the sun and east into Knightsbridge.
Our next stop was Harrods and despite the dim lighting, I decided to risk a stint indoors to show of Harrod's food halls. It was worth the lack of sunlight – the layout of the food halls is more of a feast for the eyes than the mouth (which is fortunate at £5 a strawberry) and each stall, especially in the desserts hall, proved a photo stop in its own right.
Emerging once again into the late afternoon sun, we paused for a bit of window shopping along the Harrods, then Harvey Nichols displays before catching the number 10 bus back west for a home cooked dinner and a good night's sleep before the next day's events. It was time to see if working at Spoonfed, Bullseye and events and local knowledge of London had turned me into the ultimate tour guide.

Fulham Palace10 Apr 2010
Today marked the first sunny AND warm day of the year and it seemed that all of London was taking advantage. The number of people outside in frankly overly optimistic clothing (sundresses, flip flops, mini shorts) was indicative of how long we've been waiting for the weather to turn.
Eager to join them, I donned a tank top and made my way south west towards Fulham Palace, a former residence of the Bishop of London from the eighteenth century up through the 1970s. It's a fairly unknown landmark and hidden within Bishops Park alongside the Thames in Hammersmith and Fulham, just across from Putney. It was a lovely walk but I was completely surprised by the Palace when I arrived. Apparently it was better know, at least by locals, than I thought! The cafe was absolutely packed and dozens of families were enjoying picnics all around the grounds. I had clearly been missing out.
The Fulham Palace is a gorgeous manor house, like you might expect to find in rural Kent or Essex (not surprising as, when it was built, Fulham was far enough outside London to be considered a bit of a hike and definitely a different, rural town). Initially it just served as the summer home of the Bishop of London but later became their year-round residence.
There is a small museum in the Palace that outlines its history and the role of the Bishop of London in the Catholic or Protestant churches (depending on who was in charge at the time) and a lovely little gallery that is currently displaying a series of botanical watercolours of local plants. There's also a – apparently incredibly popular – cafe and small restaurant and an expansive lawn and set of gardens. The lawn was taken over by picnickers but the gardens, some of which were pleasantly overgrown and hidden behind crumbling walls from the original buildings, hid locals who had turned up with books to enjoy the sun and outdoors in a more secluded area.
Fulham Palace doesn't seem to be so much a royal (or in this case clerical) tourist destination but a local secret enjoyed by the residents of Hammersmith and Fulham. I think the Palace gardens may join Holland Park as my summer destination of choice for an afternoon in the sun. A wonderful afternoon and lovely bit of local history.
On my last day in Cornwall, I found myself with a seemingly endless stretch of sunny day before my evening train back to London and no plans with which to fill it. At a bit of a loss for what to do – there being little useful public transport, having checked out of my hotel and not being familiar with the area – I decided to walk the half mile or so to Charlestown, just next to St. Austell where I had been staying.
The first evening in Cornwall I had walked to Charlestown so had seen the one street, few shops and, most impressively, the gorgeous bay and working docks where a couple of full pirate-like sailboats were still docked. This, however, was not a brisk walk along the ocean, this was a full seven hours to fill so I busied myself with finding something to do.
Being drawn to museums, I decided to investigate the wonderfully named Shipwreck, Rescue and Heritage Centre, a small museum built into the clay mines and loading tunnels from Charlestown's still existing china clay trade. Let's see, how can I possibly describe the Shipwreck, Rescue and Heritage Centre?
The museum was a kitschy cross between a middle school poster project, an antique shop and Disneyland in the 70s. In fact, nothing in the museum (artifacts aside as of course they were expected to be old) could be more recent than 1989 including the quarter of an hour welcome video that described the clay mining history of Charlestown; and the importance of the dock to the few families that populated Charlestown's handful of streets. Featuring 80s swimwear, hairdos and turns of phrase, it was a perfect segue into the winding corridors of animatronic rooms depicting olden day Charlestown life, a vast amount of history on the numerous shipwrecks that took place off the Charlestown and Cornwall coast, artifacts from these wrecks and – the most modern part of the museum – a 2009 Royal Navy recruitment video.
I have to say, I was completely entranced and ended up spending almost two hours reading the history of local shipping trade and rescue teams. I'm not sure what it was that captured my imagination about this local attraction (perhaps I it was the wooden pirate statue out front holding a sign "fun for dads, mums AND kids!") but I think the Centre will live on in popularity accompanied by those American roadside attractions such as "World's Biggest Plastic Dinosaur," "Amazing Stream that Runs Uphill" and "Mystical Rock Garden" where parents know, at the very least, after hours of listening to a child beg to visit the overbilled attraction there will be a shop selling ice cream bars at the end.
The rest of my day in Charlestown was spent enjoying the local delicacy, a Cornish pasty, at the Atishoo Gallery Cafe; a long wander down the short dock and stretch of beach; and a delicious Easter chocolate cake at Charlie's Coffee Shop. Amazingly I had filled my day quite happily and Charlestown is not only gorgeous but full of some of the most friendly people I've encountered in the UK. Maybe it's local pride at their lovely Heritage Centre.

LAKE FOREST Wearing green shirts, community members young and old volunteered their time to clean up portions of Aliso Creek as part of Aliso Creek Clean-Up Day, Saturday, May 13.
The city of Lake Forest, partnering with Wal-Mart, provided gloves, trash bags, reacher sticks, snacks and beverages for those in attendance as they helped to clean up litter and debris along the creek near Cherry Avenue and Fernbank Street.
Of the debris collected, Nick Gates, a senior recreation supervisor with the city, turned up a lawnmower engine-powered bicycle, though just the frame was intact.
The spring creek clean-up is an annual event in its 10th year….
