aatmma replied to your post: Oh, hey, I saw your response and, I don't know what you're all about, but have you got some fucking problem? Because we can have a discussion about why atheism isn't a dogma if you're open to discussing, but if you've got some fucking hang up I can just tell you off right now.
LOL "goodreasonnews" is a joke, pretty much a troll.
That much is obvious.
I just love it when idiots claim they're atheists because they have studied science, and yet they don't even have a modicum of understanding when it comes to scientific proof and how it works.
He doesn't even seem to know the difference between causation and correlation.

Have I got a problem?
No, I'm just peachy keen. Thanks for asking.
It's a scientific fact that human beings are predisposed to believing in a higher power. That doesn't mean they're born believing in X religion's god, but it does mean that even in the absence of religion they still crave that connection with something that cannot even be seen.
So it's of little surprise that atheists like you have perverted science into a belief system, and that's why you people can't escape all the violence, misogyny, and other issues that permeate all religions.
You reject the belief in a higher power and instead believe in science, which becomes your higher power.
Institutions of learning become your religious authority.
You indoctrinate your kids into your a-belief and that means you have a culture which replicates.
In short, you have all the pitfalls of religion with none of the benefits.
No, I don't have a problem. It appears you do.
remorsecode replied to your chat: Typical debate with an atheistThat last bit is completely wrong, on the contrary, humans are intrinsically monotheists, not atheists. Science has proven if you were to gather a big group of babies and put them on an…
OH har har har, Atheist humor.
He was most likely referring to this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1211511/Why-born-believe-God-Its-wired-brain-says-psychologist.html
which is based off of research by Dr. Bruce Hood. He wrote a book for the layman which can be had here. If you have access to a database, you can look at his research papers that way.
Isn't it great when Atheists don't even know their own dogma? Oh wait I'm sorry, poor substitute for dogma - aka research.

ARLINGTON, TX - OCTOBER 23: Lance Berkman #12 of the St. Louis Cardinals argues with home plate umpire Ron Kulpa after being called out on strikes in the seventh inning during Game Four of the MLB World Series against the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on October 23, 2011 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Look, it's old news now. We all know the Texas Rangers are going to have to find a way to, not replace but, get back some of Josh Hamilton's production at the plate.
A big part of that plan is an aging, injury-prone native Texan by the name of Lance Berkman, a guy that tormented the Rangers back in the 2011 World Series when he helped lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a come-from-behind series win over the Rangers after having some disparaging remarks about the Rangers earlier that year.
Now, in a lot of ways, the Rangers' success in 2013 will ride on Berkman's shoulders as he's slated to hit No. 3 in the Rangers' lineup and hope to get back to his 2011 numbers when he hit .301 with 31 home runs and 94 RBIs in 145 games with the Cardinals. In 2012, he played in just 32 games with the Cardinals while dealing with a knee injury that eventually required surgery.
The Rangers are hoping he can stay healthy in 2013 and replicate his 2011 season, but he's already delaling with an injury that caused him to miss the first day of intrasquad games on Wednesday and has him listed as day-to-day with a minor calf strain.
"It's slightly more than normal muscle soreness, but I don't think it's anything to worry about," Berkman told ESPN Dallas on Wednesday.
The Rangers have basically told the 37-year-old to go at his own pace this spring and just to be sure he's ready to go when the Rangers open the season in primetime on March 31 in Houston, Berkman's former stomping grounds with the Astros and college home of the former Rice Owl.

Hot Biz How-To ... E-commerce and accounting
Accounting and e-commerce are two of the fastest-growing sectors for small businesses.
From tax preparation to bookkeeping, the accounting industry had the second-highest profit margin (21.2 percent) in the last year, according to a May Sageworks report. E-commerce is expected to outpace sales at brick-and-mortar stores in the near future, reaching $370 billion (10 percent of all U.S. retail sales) by 2017, says Forrester Research.
Whether you're a jeweler like Ben Salomonsky, involved in an accounting firm like Edward Amorosso, or operating a retail shop such as Alison Dodson Anderson does, the successes, challenges and business know-how come from a daily learning curve.
Each of these business-savvy individuals shared some of their knowledge on how the endeavors they're involved in are not only surviving, but thriving.
Ben Salomonsky, a gemologist and jewelry designer who has been in the business his entire life, jokingly noted that his late father did not read the child labor laws.
"I'm a third-generation jeweler," said Salomonsky, of Virginia Beach.
His grandfather's trade and manufacturing shop was established in 1908. Ben went out on his own in 1986 to market his own designs and to bring the work of new designers to the area.
When Salomonsky became a single father in 2001, the brick-and- mortar entity no longer meshed with his lifestyle. Shortly after, he delved into Internet sales. His website is www.bensaljeweler.com. The rest, as they say, is history.
Why did you choose this field?
I chose the carriage trade jewelry e-commerce field because it is what I know. A budding Internet entrepreneur should no more enter into e-commerce with a product/service about which they know very little any more than they should if they are opening a traditional establishment.
How has your business grown?
To be succinct, e-business was good before 2008, and went into the same declines as was the case with most enterprises, after the world financial crisis. We are starting to come out of it - slowly. This year is better than last year, and many more people are asking questions, again.
If you are small, pick one social media, work it consistently and work it well. It must tell the viewer that you are still alive and well, are here to serve them, and most importantly - to direct them to your e-store. Never give up.
Describe an industry-specific challenge and what you do to remedy it.
The current challenges are that clients need everything, yesterday. It is the nanosecond mentality.
For the most part, I work from archived photographs of my designs. That is cost-effective to me, and as is the case with many, I have to be cost-effective. As previously mentioned, that is the beauty of e-commerce. You click, you pay, I fabricate, I send. The challenge is to always pay attention to the economy, social behavior and fashion trends. All of those factors change very quickly. The days of a store staying the same for a decade, and still appearing "fresh" are over.
Listen to the voice of experience
'Cause I'm the tax man ...
McPhillips, Roberts & Deans PLC was started in 1972 by J. Vincent McPhillips and Edward L. Lieland Jr. Both men began their accounting careers in the 1950s with Hilton, Sheffield and Hilton, one of Norfolk's oldest and most respected CPA firms.
The firm provides audit, tax and consulting services to businesses, nonprofit organizations, individuals, estates and trusts.
Employing more than 65 professionals, including 12 partners, the firm delivers long-term strategies designed to capitalize on existing and emerging opportunities in its clients' markets.
Its portfolio includes an array of industries such as government contracting and construction, health care, automotive dealerships, nonprofit, real estate and hospitality, retail, manufacturing and wholesale.
Edward Amorosso, CEO, said unbreakable trust has been the one guiding factor to the firm's success and longevity.
Why did you choose this field?
When I was in college, I wanted to pursue a business degree and recognized that public accounting offered a wide range of career opportunities. Undoubtedly, the most rewarding aspect of my work is the opportunity to help clients and employees achieve their goals.
Over the years, it has been extremely rewarding to witness the long-term growth and success of the firm's clients and employees.
How has your business grown?
The firm has grown to one of the largest public accounting firms in the region. In 1972, the firm started with two people and we now have a team of 65. Over the past 11 years, our revenues have almost tripled.
Describe an industry-specific challenge and what you do to remedy it.
Our industry's biggest challenge is helping clients manage the increasingly complex regulatory environment of the federal tax code and financial accounting standards. We have addressed these challenges by requiring our team members to specialize their practice in industry-specific areas. This specialization has allowed us to stay current with the regulatory changes in our profession.
With the increasing regulatory environment, and as our clients pursue overseas growth and opportunities, we decided to become an independent member of the BDO alliance three years ago. BDO is the fifth largest accounting organization worldwide. As a member of the alliance, we can offer the resources of a global organization yet maintain the level of service one would expect from a locally owned, independent firm.
For Alison Dodson Anderson, the progression to add an online store to her brick-and-mortar shop was a natural one - in time.
Dodson Anderson opened A. Dodson's at 2948 Bridge Road in Suffolk, just two miles north of Harbour View 10 years ago. The retail shop is known for fashion, home decor and gifts.
The online store - at www.adodsons.com - came into fruition five years ago.
Retail is in Dodson Anderson's blood. Her grandparents owned Kirchmiers, a general store on Portsmouth Boulevard at Dock Landing Road in Chesapeake, and her mother, Alice Dodson, operated Once Upon a Time Antiques where A. Dodson's is located today.
"Online shopping has become an experience of its own in large part due to social sharing such as Facebook and Pinterest," Dodson Anderson said. "The ability to compare prices and expect delivery within a few days makes online shopping an attractive option for many people."
Why did you choose this field?
I followed in the footsteps of my grandparents who had a general store and my mother who had her own antique shop.
How has your business grown?
The business started with just me. Now, 10 years later, we have a director of marketing and e-commerce, a director of merchandising, a retail manager, a dedicated e-commerce shipping staff and an internship program that allows young people interested in a career in marketing or merchandising the ability to earn on-the-job training while gaining real-world experience.
Describe an industry-specific challenge and what you do to remedy it.
We face challenges daily - it keeps us on our toes. But most challenges turn out to be better solutions in disguise. Of course a challenge every retailer faced came in 2008 with the economic changes. Inventories have had to be tight since then and we've all had to get even more creative.
Having a husband in financial services is a big help when looking at buys for upcoming quarters and seasons. But more important than anything is to know your customers, your competitors and how to look for trends.

Geppetto Avatars – Bringing virtual characters to life
Geppetto Avatars provides an artificial intelligence platform, software robots, if you will, to improve process, drive efficiency, and capture valuable analytics data in the health care, finance, education and entertainment settings.
Our virtual characters may offer solutions to many of the challenges facing the health care industry, including shortages in providers, high hospital readmission rates and a rapidly aging population. We know that the need for individualized, human interaction in health care will never go away. However, at Geppetto Avatars, we are building a virtual workforce that can help provide users of our platform with answers and advice on topics ranging from healthy living to important medical issues.
Soon, our characters will be available through several industry partners, and even available for purchase at major retailers. Continue to check this site, or follow us on Twitter, for product and partnership updates.
How we do it.
Gestures, expressions, tone and context – you can't have an effective conversation without them. We've recognized a need to develop systems that support patient engagement. The characters we build have hearts, minds, and personalities of their own, giving people a better way to get important information when they need it.
How are we different?
We use natural language processing, sentiment analysis, voice-to-text recognition, and real-time multimedia generation, combining it with art, psychology, narrative, and character design. But our key differentiator is our approach to analytics… while words are key, they're only 60% of our communication. Our system also analyzes biometric data, vastly increasing the context of the communication.
The Result.
As you'll see in the videos, our virtual assistant, Sophie, reads charts, asks relevant questions, and even helps the patient utilize a camera function to capture visual symptoms. Thanks to Sophie and her virtual colleagues, we're able to recapture the simple but often forgotten art of listening to patients.
We allow home visits to happen once again.
From the clinician's perspective (above): Healthcare providers can gather loads of data about a patient thanks to these non-threatening conversational interactions. By measuring patient expressions through natural language processing and micro-facial analysis of facial expressions, physicians may gain important diagnostic insights. In this video, Sophie and David discuss his asthma.
From the patient perspective (right): Patients interact in real time with a virtual assistant collecting patient information and providing healthcare advice related to prescriptions, symptoms, and sentiment. In this clip, Sophie helps Laura assess her psoriatic arthritis symptoms.
Who We Do It For
You'll find the characters of Geppetto Avatars assessing a patient's arthritis, teaching kids about asthma, or monitoring a patient's treatment progress.
Health Care
Our healthcare platform creates immense opportunities for patients, providers and payers. Staffing shortages, an aging population and the Affordable Care Act have all contributed to the stress on an already overburdened system. The Geppetto platform has the potential to change care pathways and improve patient outcomes across the health care field.
Pharmaceutical companies seeking to demonstrate efficacy for new compounds could access clinical trial endpoints based on the capture of semantic expression data and biometric analytics. A virtual clinician able to assess physiologic and biologic data could help patients seeking a diagnosis of a rare disorder. Children coping with a chronic disease will have an attentive buddy to answer questions and check vital signs. And for the elderly, the Geppetto platform provides conversational companionship, caregiver support, case management and wellness monitoring.
In partnership with Health Nuts Media, Geppetto Avatars is developing avatars based on the Huff and Puff characters already being used in some health systems to help kids with asthma.
Other Industries
Our state-of-the-art solutions introduce avatar concepts to real-world health care, finance, education and entertainment settings to improve process flow, drive efficiency, and capture valuable analytics data that support our customers and help our users.
For example, ClickN Kids Digital's partnership with Geppetto Avatars will provide their tablet with a natural language interface to help kids learn to effectively read and speak through reading, writing, and pronunciation apps using natural language and semantics.
About Us
Geppetto Avatars has brought the best minds in business, technology, health care, science and design. From the man who helped develop the world's third dot-com and his attorney co-founder, a serial entrepreneur with more than 30 years of executive experience, the Geppetto Avatars team has created a state-of-the-art conversational platform for you.
We mean business: Our Chief Innovation Officer held the same role at Kaiser Permanente, and our Chief Technology Officer created the Android app for Dropbox. Over a 15-year period, Geppetto's Chief Information Officer implemented more than 40 full life-cycle AI systems. And our Chief Business Officer held senior executive positions at Merck and Co., and Millennium Pharmaceuticals.
The Geppetto Avatars team has extensive depth and experience, not to mention a passion for the work we do.

Commission rescinds its paid parking approval
Date: September 8, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The City Commission voted Tuesday to rescind its vote last month that approved downtown parking meters.
After that vote, city staff was confused about whether the commission wanted to put meters around all existing parking garages or just around the county garage at Ringling Boulevard and School Avenue.
The commission was also subjected to an onslaught of e-mails and phone calls from citizens and merchants opposed to paid parking.
City Manager Bob Bartolotta presented commissioners with two options. First, they could approve a plan that places meters east of Links Avenue in the fall and west of Links Avenue after the Palm Avenue garage is built, which is expected to be November or December 2010.
The second option was to delay the entire paid-parking program until the Palm Avenue garage is complete, but possibly buy the parking meters now.
Mayor Dick Clapp added a third option Tuesday — don't commit to paid parking until the city can host a series of public forums during the next six months to get more input from residents and business owners.
That motion passed unanimously.
Contact Robin Roy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- 1.
- The Commission is now dealing with the impact of previous decisions to allow overdevelopment of the downtown area, decisions that fail to allow for adequate parking. Growth has its consequences and resposibilities.

TIME ALLOTMENT: Two to three 45-minute class periods
OVERVIEW: The rarity and unique physical properties of diamonds have earned them an important and valuable place in our society. The NATURE episode "Diamonds" investigates the origins of this brilliant gemstone, as well as how it is mined and sold.
In this lesson, students will explore the characteristics of diamonds, and begin building an understanding of their formative environment, the resulting crystal structures and the physical properties of earth materials. Students will also be introduced to the silica tetrahedron and the silicate minerals, build physical models of silicate structures, and determine the physical properties of several common silicate mineral samples.
Prior to commencing this lesson, students should have already been introduced to the concepts of minerals and the physical properties used to identify them (i.e. luster, hardness, and cleavage/fracture).
SUBJECT MATTER: Earth Science, Mineralogy, Crystallography, Science and Society
Students will be able to:
- Determine some physical properties of minerals;
- State and illustrate, with examples, that the physical properties of minerals are a function of their crystal structures;
- Connect the scientific significance of diamonds to its cultural and historical significance;
- Construct simple models of olivine, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and micas using 3 dimensional silicate tetrahedron models.

CONTENT STANDARD A: As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop
Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
Understandings about scientific inquiry
A variety of technologies, such as hand tools, measuring instruments, and calculators, should be an integral component of scientific investigations. The use of computers for the collection, analysis, and display of data is also a part of this standard. Mathematics plays an essential role in all aspects of an inquiry. For example, measurement is used for posing questions, formulas are used for developing explanations, and charts and graphs are used for communicating results.
CONTENT STANDARD B: As a result of their activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop an understanding of STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER.
- Bonds between atoms are created when electrons are paired up by being transferred or shared. A substance composed of a single kind of atom is called an element. The atoms may be bonded together into molecules or crystalline solids. A compound is formed when two or more kinds of atoms bind together chemically.
- The physical properties of compounds reflect the nature of the interactions among its molecules. These interactions are determined by the structure of the molecule, including the constituent atoms and the distances and angles between them.
- Carbon atoms can bond to one another in chains, rings, and branching networks to form a variety of structures, including synthetic polymers, oils, and the large molecules essential to life.

How Chesapeake Is Seeking its Redemption
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK) wowed Wall Street on Thursday beating expectations on both revenue and earnings while also raising its production guidance. The quarter marked a big step forward as the company tries to recover from its checkered past. But can Chesapeake find redemption? Let's investigate.
The plan
This is the first quarter that Chesapeake has reported under new CEO Doug Lawler. Lawler was hired in June to replace former executive Aubrey McClendon.
McClendon left the company in a mess last year. An aggressive expansion program saddled Chesapeake with an unsustainable debt load and falling natural gas prices, leaving management with a $4.5 billion funding gap by the start of 2013. Plus a series of governance scandals triggered civil and criminal probes into the company. After all this, Lawler faces the tall task of righting the company's financial ship and restoring investor confidence.
In the call he outlined his two-part turnaround plan. First - financial discipline: Lawler promised to balance capital expenditures with cash flows from operations and divest non-core assets. Second - profitable and efficient growth: Management is planning to implement a new capital allocation program to refocus on only on the best performing assets.
Many analysts on the call couldn't quite grasp the concept of financial discipline as was evident in their reaction.
"Let me clarify, for 2014, your expectation is that your all-in CAPEX is going to be at or below operating cash flow? Am I understanding that correctly?" -- Joe Allman, JP Morgan.
"Just want to be clear that you're balancing cash flow and CAPEX." -- David Heikkinen, Heikkinen Energy Advisors
"Again, just to clarify, the DNC CAPEX plus other CAPEX, you're targeted to have it at or below operating cash flow?" -- Joe Allman, JP Morgan
Readers have to understand that this is a shocking development for the company. Lawler's plan represents a 180 degree shift from Chesapeake's previous philosophy.
Already seeing results
But what was really encouraging in the call was evidence that the turnaround was already gaining momentum.
First, Chesapeake's liquidity crisis is over. In February, the company sold a 50% stake in its Mississippi Lime assets to Sinopec for $1.02 billion. Again in July, Chesapeake sold off its properties in the northern Eagle Ford and Haynesville shale formations for $1 billion. With the company closing in on $4 billion in asset sales since the start of the year, Chesapeake has effectively closed its funding gap. Additional divestments later this year will be used to pare down debt and shore up the balance sheet.
Chesapeake is also showing early success on its capital efficiency initiatives as evidenced by strong earnings growth coming with lower capital requirements. It's clear that the company's portfolio is producing above the Street's expectations with the management raising their full-year production guidance by one million barrels.
But Chesapeake isn't clear yet. In recent months investors have been disappointed by the proceeds the company has been able to raise from its divestments. It's clear Chesapeake doesn't have much power at the negotiating table, and the company's assets may fetch less than investors expect.
Those concerns remains. But this quarter suggests Chesapeake is on the right track.
Change is in the air
Chesapeake is just another example of a changing philosophy gripping the oil patch. No longer are companies embracing growth for growth sake. Rather, emphasis is now being placed on earning the highest possible return for investors.
Wait, isn't that just common sense? Yes, but sanity was thrown out the window in the last decade during oil's run to $150/brl.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than Suncor (NYSE: SU). Since taking over at the helm last year, CEO Steve Williams has been relentless in his pursuit of creating shareholder value. He abandoned the company's goal of producing one million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2020, shelved the Voyageur Upgrader project, and embraced shareholder-friendly initiatives like dividends and buybacks.
Williams' new strategy is to wring out an extra 100,000 b/d over four years through operational efficiencies. De-bottlenecking initiatives - industry slang for tweaking operations in an effort to make them more efficient - are more cost effective and less risky than bold new projects.
And it appears this new strategy is paying off for shareholders. In the past year Suncor has outperformed the Canadian Energy Index by 10%.
Foolish bottom line
Chesapeake is well on its way to redemption. By abandoning the practices of its reckless past and embracing disciplined growth, the company can regain favor with the investment community. This quarter confirms it.

We have made this receipe several times. It is delicious and beautiful on the table. You can easily leave out one type of vegetable if you don't like it and just add more of another one. Other than the chopping, this recipe is super easy to prepare!
Sherry-Roasted Root Vegetables
tmccoy Posted: 01/27/11
debbyjmn Posted: 03/18/11
I rarely prepare the same recipe twice because there are so many new ones to try! But I have used this recipe several times to good advantage - especially for company. I generally use red onion wedges instead of shallots and sometimes make a little more of the sauce. The recipe is very "forgiving" in terms of ingredient proportions, and everything can be tossed together several hours before roasting, which is great when entertaining. I recently served this with CL's Spicy Pork Tenderloin with Ginger-Maple Sauce (11/01) and received many compliments and requests for recipes for both dishes.
dressagehopeful Posted: 01/23/12
Oh, this was wonderful! None of us had eaten parsnips or turnips before, but they were so sweet and good. Everyone in the family said it was delicious and do it again and again! I served with filets. Any grilled or roasted meat would be good with it. I used a large roasting dish, so the veggies were pretty spread out - 1 layer, and it was done in only 45 minutes, so keep checking yours. I turned off oven & covered with foil & it was fine 20 min later when steaks were done.
EllenDeller Posted: 12/06/12
First roasted vegetable recipe I've used that has no sugar or other sweetener, but between the sherry and the sweetness of the vegetables themselves, it really did not need any. I sprinkled some sherry vinegar over the mixture to give it the bit of sharpness I like, and this took only 1 hour total. Served with some turkey kielbasa, braised mustard greens, and cornbread.
theChadandHope Posted: 08/08/13
Made this last night, minus the turnips because the store was out and using a red onion instead of shallots. it was totally delicious. i have done a similar recipe before with a shorter cook time and the vegetables were not as sweet, so i believe the temp and cooktime are critical here. the veggies get nicely browned and carmelized, everyone raved about it and could not believe how simple it was

This sketch shows SCAD's Trustees Theatre, found on Broughton Street, as seen from the SCAD library third floor window. Next time, I will try to fit in Leopold's Icecream shop as well. Also, next time I will try not to draw everything slightly lopsided!
This drawing was a bit of a challenge because I am not accustomed to this kind of perspective. I intend to draw from there again; it is a nice change from drawing at ground level. I enjoyed using the sanguine Faber-Castell pens to draw attention to certain areas of the image.

How to Hire a New York City Car Accident Lawyer
If you've suffered an injury in a New York City Car accident that was someone else's fault, you probably have a lot of questions. How do I pay my medical bills? How do I manage missed work? How can I get compensated for my injuries? All of these lead to one fundamental question: How do I hire a lawyer to handle my personal injury case? If you haven't had to use an attorney before, the process may seem difficult. This article will provide the fundamentals you need to hire the right New York City car accident lawyer for your case.
Attorneys are not all the same, and the right attorney for one client may not be right for another. You need to make an individual choice that suits your legal needs and, during this difficult time, makes you feel comfortable and confident. Consider the following items before you select a New York City traffic accident attorney.
How to Find a New York City Car Accident Lawyer
First, ask your New York friends and family if they can recommend an attorney. If they've hired that attorney in the past, get their opinion of his skill, knowledge and personal qualities. If they would use the attorney again, you've found an attorney for consideration.
Not everyone is comfortable discussing legal matters with the people close to them. There's another source that can direct you to attorneys that can handle your New York City car crash claim: Attorneys.com. Whether you live in Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens or beyond, we can connect you with a personal injury attorney in your area.
There are two easy ways to reach Attorneys.com: You call 1-877-913-7222 or fill out the short form on this website. After you've answered a few questions, we'll provide you with the name of at least one New York City car crash lawyer. You then have the choice to contact the lawyer directly, or the lawyer will contact you within two business days.
Meeting a New York City Car Accident Lawyer
Now that you have attorneys to choose from, you need to find out which one is the best choice for you. The next step is to have a meeting, known as an initial consultation, with each attorney. The initial consultation is part interview and part exchange of information. You get to present your case to an attorney, get his opinion on your claim and get a feel for the attorney's experience and professional nature.
The questions you ask are important for determining the best attorney for you. Try to learn as much as you can about each attorney. Ask questions about:
- The attorney's experience with and knowledge of personal injury law
- How the attorney gets paid, and how costs and expenses are handled
- The attorney's initial opinion of your case and the strategy to be used
Naturally, you can ask any other questions that are important to you, but focus on questions that will help you decide on an attorney. Be honest as you present your case, and provide the attorney with all the information necessary to assess your case.
Initial consultations are typically free, but you should check in advance.
Choosing a New York City Traffic Accident Attorney
After you've met and consulted with each attorney on your list, review your notes and recall your impressions. Which attorney had the most experience? Which presented the best assessment and strategy? Which one made you feel the most confident and comfortable.
Don't hesitate to ask for references if you're having a hard time with the decision. Former clients can offer valuable opinions on the New York car crash attorneys you're considering. Have a conversation with each, and ask about their impressions of and satisfaction with the attorney.
When you've finished gathering all this important information, you are ready to hire an attorney and more forward with your case.

Bless you, Isla Fisher, for letting us know your mother was tea-bagged. On American morning television.
Picture this.
Now read this:
"A kitchen supervisor at a federal prison in Arizona was arrested this week after an FBI surveillance camera recorded him engaging in a (food) storage room ménage a trois with two male inmates who told investigators that they received cigarettes in return for participating in such sexual activity, according to court records."
Again, this happened in a prison FOOD storage room.
When the guards scream time for "chow" — clearly they mean time to "chow cock."
Read the rest of the story here. And you MUST read the police report.
This is former porn star Angie Savage.
She's about to do a full-insertion into the hot dog business.
In the city of DIX…
Ok, it's "Dixon." But Dix would've been genius for marketing.
She's legit calling her business "Angie's Wieners."
Why not?
Lets be honest—it would've been a nice gesture had Rick Santorum worn a condom, last night, when he gave it to Mitt Romney in the ass throughout Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado…
…even if said condom featured the face of Mitt Romney himself.
Yup. Now you can even bring politics to the sack.
A New York-based condom company launched a new line of rubbers poking fun at the Republican presidential candidate on Wednesday
The prophylactic's packaging features a caricature of a beaming Romney splayed on pictures of hundred dollar bills with the slogan, "Never Settle."
"I think you see a lot of people who are really unhappy with the choices in the Republican primary," Benjamin Sherman, founder of "Say It With A Condom," told the Daily News. "We're saying people shouldn't settle when picking their political candidates or their partners."
On the Romney condom website, the company riffs on the multimillionaire, saying the product is "tax free so even the poor can afford them" and that it's for anyone "with an elitist penis."
Maybe you-know-who should hand these out for House Republicans to use too…
Dear President Obama….
As of today, opponents of "Obamacare" have so many other things to be concerned with when it comes to health care.
And, we have this gentleman to thank for it:
Mr. Hal Weston, 46.
He gives a new meaning to the title "Head Nurse."
Ya see, Hal, a hospital caregiver in Utah, is facing a sodomy charge after police brought a passed-out, Lindsay-Lohan-style-drunk male to the hospital at which he is employed.
At the hospital, the unconscious man was put into an exam room, which was concealed behind a curtain.
Within minutes, the cops discovered one other thing concealed in the exam room: the dick of the passed out man in Nurse Hal's mouth.
Yes, he was caught blowing the MOTHER-FUCKING unconscious patient.
Wait, WHAT?
An officer, who had been writing a police report, went into the exam room to check up on the unconscious man around 2AM…
…which is when the chaos was going down—so to speak.
The hospital worker was then arrested and transported to the county lockup. He bailed out of custody later in the day.
FYI, that special treatment IS covered under Obama's plan.
There are a lot polls in favor of the Kardashian sisters today.
This is the ad for the "Kardashian Kollection" denim line.
Clever name, ladies.
I'm already getting anxiety for what they'll be wearing in their up-coming swimwear ads.
I'd rather not know if Khloe who has a penis.
If Romney could pull off a pair of these jeans in Florida tomorrow = WIN
With all due respect, and from first hand experience, if you've ever spent time in Montgomery, Alabama—you pretty much want to end it all after a few hours.
That said, the naked (alive) corpses that curious onlookers got an eyeful of yesterday weren't bored visitors to the southern city, but were actually members of the animals rights group PETA—dramatizing their animal rights agenda.
Tascha Jones, one of the corpse protesters at the event, said she is happy to bare her skin whenever it helps save animals' skins.
"With all the luxurious alternatives available, there's absolutely no excuse to wear animal skins," Jones said.
Speaking of living corpses—did anyone else think Ron Paul looked a little pale & ill at last nights debate?
God bless him, but he did not look well.
Maybe PETA should look in to where Ron Paul stands on animal rights.
Before he gets a tan from one of those 25 mile bike rides.
He'll have some free time soon.
Last night's State Of The Union speech was SOLID.
During the speech, President Obama suggested that students should stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18.
Later in the evening, Miley Cyrus made a powerful argument in favor of this idea:
They grow up so fast.
Apparently it was her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth's, birthday.
You can no longer tell Miley Cyrus to "eat a dick."
Stay in school.
Dear, Mitt:
Is Bain Capital hiring? If so, do I have a great girl for you.
A REAL ball buster.
Stay your distance, but say hello to Savannah "Bambam" Rios.
Accused TESTICLE PUNCHER.
Cutie, huh?
Rios, a resident of Utah, 24, is facing several felony charges after a bizarre attack, last week, on a man she recently DATED.
The lunacy began after her ex confronted her for allegedly stealing his shit.
He told police that he went to meet with Rios at a Salt Lake City residence, where he "was lead to a back backroom" where she was seated on the bed.
Identified only by the initials "G.A."—the victim said that Rios slapped him several times, pulled out a knife, and asked him, "You wanna die?"
(Sounds like MY last relationship)
Rios then ordered "G.A." to remove his clothes. She then grabbed the man's belt, "wrapped it around her hand, and hit him several times in the mother-fucking 'BALLS.'"
At this point, I imagine the answer to her question was "Yes, I WANT TO DIE."
After pleading for his life, the man told cops, Rios allowed him and his bruised balls to get dressed. She then directed him to drive to his home, where she allegedly forced him to give her a DVD player, camera, and phones.
Oh…and on the way to the residence, Rios stabbed "G.A" with the knife, police charged.
While at the man's home, "G.A" subsequently escaped and "ran for help at a nearby police station."
Rios, who was still in the vehicle when cops arrived. She remains locked up in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Lesson here? Dating a girl named "BamBam"….never a good idea.
That said, she'll do just fine at Bain.
I'll be SUPER honest with you: I've dated some not-so-fresh smelling women.
One in particular tried to make me believe that her foul odor was her "natural" scent, and that I should "love her for it anyway."
Don't fall for this.
Because of this nightmare, when I heard that doctors are NOW saying that dudes with STD's actually SMELL BAD to women…I about lost my shit.
Is this discovery gender-equal?
That said, after listening to Newt Gingrich's ex-wife explain to ABC's Nightline that he had cheated on her and wanted to bang ugly whores an open marriage…
…it made me wonder: what does Newt smell like?
Don't answer that.

Superscape On Making 3D-Accelerated Mobile Games
Jun 28, 2007
David Britten, vice president of technology at mobile developer/publisher Superscape, pointed out in his case study of the company's development of a 3D-accelerated version of its Ducati 3D Extreme game, the consistency of hardware remains a problem. Some devices still don't support OpenGL ES, while other cause problems because hardware manufacturers don't always ship product with standardized firmware. The 3D-accelerated version of Ducati 3D Extreme was written using the OpenGL ES Common Lite v1.0 API, the game work was split with the CPU dealing with the gameplay logic, the DSP4 running the geometry, lighting and audio, while the dedicated 3D hardware did the rasterizing and Z buffering.

Lanny A. Breuer, assistant attorney general with the criminal division of the U.S. Department of Justice substantiated Feingold's concerns. "I assure you that the impact of Skilling is real, and that there is conduct that would have been prosecuted under the honest services fraud statute before Skilling that can no longer be prosecuted under the federal criminal law," said Breuer.
In drafting new legislation to address the loophole, Breuer urged that Congress include language requiring that those prosecuted under the law both intend to defraud and knowingly cover up that intent. This, said Breuer, will ensure that no person can be convicted for mistakenly or unwittingly breaking the law.
Michael L. Seigel, University of Florida Research Foundation Professor of Law, agreed with Breuer, but also noted that Congress should make the new law specific in establishing what conduct would be illegal. Such precise language is necessary, said Seigel, to prevent erroneous interpretation.
However, Samuel W. Buell of Duke University School of Law, told the committee that vagueness is not an issue so long as the legislation clearly requires intent. "There is nothing novel, or unworkable, or imprudent about the idea of Congress passing general prohibitions on fraud and the courts working out how to apply those general concepts to new forms of harmful deception as they arise," said Buell.
The real issue, noted Buell, is proving that the person being prosecuted knew that his or her actions were wrong. "The Supreme Court itself has often observed that actors who are aware of the wrongfulness of their own conduct are not in a position to complain that they have been the victims of surprising application of allegedly vague laws," he said.

Web 2.0 Expo New York
On Monday I gave a workshop at Web 2.0 Expo with all-new material about something I've had on my mind for a while now: designing for the trails of data we're creating, from tweets to scrobbles to checkins. I had some lovely conversations with the people who attended, and there were lots of great questions, so thank you everyone who attended, you guys rocked!
The slides from the workshop are on SlideShare and SpeakerDeck, or you can download the PDF (13 MB). If you attended, you'll find some bonus material I didn't cover in the session, so enjoy!
Note: to all the attendees, apologies I couldn't get the slides up sooner — lack of stable internet en-route to Sydney for Web Directions! As Danielle suggested, I'll put slides up before I give a workshop next time!

I Feel That Too by Jessie Baylin.
Today, I received a call from a close friend and classmate on rotation across the province. It was a unexpected but pleasant surprise. We took a moment to catch up with how our respective electives were going thus far. Of course, the conversation eventually turned to CaRMS and we shared a collective groan.
"This is like applying to medical school all over again…but ten times over."
"Yeah, I feel that way too."

Bar Rephaeli makes Israel proud
Israeli model, Bar Refaeli has shown what's important in the world – and hinted at a future as a talented comedienne – by recording a fake Kickstarter appeal to help her make a live sex tape.
The appeal appears on the Will Ferrel-founded comedy site FunnyOrDie.com, and it is indeed a hoot. The 27-year-old Refaeli straightfaces her way through the bit in which she explains she needs $10,000 for an HD camera to make her dream of an X-rated film. It includes lines like: "I would like to make a sex tape. A tape of me having sex with a dude. Sex in many positions for just a few hours," and "I know what you're thinking. Who would want to watch that? I'm not sure myself." and "But maybe a small audience might want to watch me having sex. After all I'm really good at it."
Adding to the hilarity is the tally shown behind her, which starts exploding with each risqué line. Men start appearing at her window with cash as she explains that with the proper donation, they could be candidates to share her bed. And when she opens the way for women to be her special one, the numbers go wild, reaching $925 million.
Refaeli joins a line of A-listers like actresses Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron and Eva Longoria who have also made fake sex tapes for the website. But enough description, enjoy the clip yourself and don't forget to donate!

Obama's character IS bad and he certainly deserves to be attacked over his Mideast policy along with every other policy of his.

Well now this... well i don't hate it but from what i can tell eventually you would need the reaction time of a beam light to be able to continue, as the speed progression just doubles every second.
Take it from me nobody likes impossible games.

Also, please clarify - how are you accessing Todoist? Through the web, mobile, plugins, add-ons? If through the web - what browser are you using?

Woe is Me
5/9/08 in NASCAR | frevr3fan | 0 respect
It seems like a long time ago. Thats probably because it is. Especially for a driver who has been tabbed his whole career to be one of the greats. Comparing him to Matt Kenseth. Since they both came up the same year. He is still looking for his first cup championship. But most of all. Another race win.
Who can ever forget the year 2000. When he and Matt fought tooth and nail for the Rookie of the Year honors? With Matt coming out on top. Then just 3 years later. Matt finally getting his first cup championship.
Not down playing any of Jr's accomplishments. But wasn't this move to HMS supposed to be an instant success? After winning the Bud shootout and one of the Duels. It looked like he was well on his way. For also being tabbed as the next restrictor plate king. He could only gather a 9th place finish at Daytona a track that is supposed to be one of his strengths. He even came to Dega as the heavily favored driver to win. The house that Earnhardt built. And once again couldnt get it done finishing 10th.
No excuses. Tony and Kyle stepped up to the challenge at Daytona and finished 3-4. And who can forget Ryan and Kurt who really answered the call finishing 1-2. Even Robby Gordon who has had his troubles finished ahead of Jr. in 8th. And we can't leave flipper out of the equation. He already has 3 wins this season and just signed a new contract with Roush-Fenway for $6,000,000 a year. Then we bring the 88 Amp/National Guard car to Cali. Where the Jr of old was back in familiar fashion. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time. How many times have we seen that in his career.
Now here comes the big question? Is Jr really the driver who most of his fans think that he is? I mean had he been in the top 10 at Cali instead of lagging in the top 20. He would have never gotten caught up in that wreck. Did Rick just hire him because of his selling power? After all he already has 2 proven champions in Jimmie and Jeff.
And I am sure that Jimmie isn't done winning championships. You have to look at all of this from a race fans point of view. Not from he's my favorite driver point of view.
After all. There are Boris Said fans out there that know damn good and well. That he will never win a race. Im not putting Jr in that category. But you have to look at where he is. Sure he will get his wins. There is no doubt about that. But do you think that maybe one of the reasons that he didn't sign on with RCR. Was because he knew that he needed that extra lift that HMS has? That maybe if you take him out of the HMS seat. And put him next to Harvick, Burton and Bowyer. That his winless streak will continue to grow even faster?
In other words take him away from the HMS team. And what kind of driver would he really be? We seen what happened at DEI. I mean even Truex was able to get a win and make the chase. What happened to Jr? Now don't throw that he had engine problems in the equation. What happened when his engines didn't blow up? Thats what I am talking about.
Ther are alot of members who are somewhat afraid to touch this taboo subject. For the fact that all of the haters come out from under there rocks. But take some time out and look at the whole picture. Try not to be biased on your thoughts about what I wrote. Put Jr in a Roush or a Dodge. Or for that matter. A Toyota. After all. Tony Stewart who has been a Chevy driver made the switch. Is Jr any better then him? Does he have what it takes to bring one of these cars into victory lane? Im Out

Gisele Thinks Breastfeeding 'Should Be a Worldwide Law'
momlogic's Vivian: Ay-yi-YI!
Supermodel mommy Gisele Bundchen believes in boob. According to the Daily Mail U.K., she told Harper's Bazaar U.K. that she believes breastfeeding should be worldwide law!
A quote: "Some people here [in the U.S.] think they don't have to breastfeed, and I think, 'Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?' I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months."
Gisele, Gisele, Gisele. This is an incredibly narrow view. Granted, breastfeeding IS awesome. But some babies are born with jaundice or have other health issues wherein formula is actually preferable to their recovery. Some babies are born with Down syndrome and have weak facial muscles. Some babies just refuse to latch.
We all can't be 5'11", weigh a whopping 120 and be in perfect health. Take me, for example: I herniated a disc so badly just a few weeks after giving birth that I could not walk and had to have surgery to save me from severe permanent nerve damage.
Preparation for this required many tests for which I had to ingest chemicals unsafe to pass through my breastmilk, so my daughter sometimes sustained her life with those "chemicals" you frown so smugly upon. With mommy in the hospital so much, she quickly lost her latch and no consultant could fix it. So I pumped for the next five months of her life -- which was physically painful for me, but I kept on nonetheless. I don't regret it, but I can't tell you how many people thought I was insane for hanging in there as long as I did.
Tell me, Gisele: Had I chosen to spare myself a little pain and stop breastfeeding a few months sooner, what punitive measure would you deem suitable?
I simply wanted to inform you about how much I actually appreciate every little thing you've shared to help improve the lives of people in this theme. Through the articles, I have gone out of just an inexperienced to a skilled in the area. It truly is truly a tribute to your endeavours. Thanks
I relish just taking a break from studying and reading your site. I just wish you posted more often. Thank you

Did You Know: Blue EyesDid you know? — By Goran on 2011/11/02 8:04 AM
Did you know that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor?
A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.
"Originally, we all had brown eyes. Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes and from this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor," said Professor Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine.
