I was doing some editing and it occurred to me that I never posted this chapter. It seemed timely since Thanksgiving is a few days away...Enjoy! Oh, per usual, it is rough, particularly the dialogue. I really like the exchange about Tibet with Driver Jerry. I also really like my memory of childhood Thanksgivings...I cheated here and plucked it from my first unpublished memoir:).
Giving Thanks in China
By the time Thanksgiving rolled around life was good. The neighbors had finally finished their renovation – only two half-empty cans of paint remained in a corner of the foyer. Grace was starting to recognize some sight words – we had a long, long way to go before Junie B. but we were on our way. Willy had come to terms with holding my hand when requested – it had actually become like second nature for him to grab my hand as soon as we'd leave the building. I had begun to meet a nice mix of people outside the clutches of Kristin McBride – thankfully not all expat ladies were as crazy as she was. And Rob, well, he worked his ass off all day, every day – but he loved the challenge, so it was all good.
I wanted to have a proper Thanksgiving dinner – a distinctly American feast – but how was I supposed to make that happen with an EZ bake oven and a stove with two burners?
Cater it.
After a few short moments on the internet I'd discovered a catering company and ordered a turkey with all the accoutrements right down to the pumpkin pie – for a cool $250. It was a small price to pay for a little piece of home in China.
While we waited for Rob and Driver Jerry to arrive, I stepped out onto the kitchen balcony and took in a deep breath. I was smacked in the face with a damp wind that carried a new unwanted scent – industrial waste. Summer in Shanghai smelled like sewage, but when the weather turned cooler it smelled like a cross between burning coal and burning rubber.
No matter. It was officially the holiday season. It was a time to celebrate friends and family. Though we were thousands of miles from our families, we were going to celebrate Thanksgiving with our new family: Xiao Li, Driver Chen, and Driver Jerry. They'd helped us through those rough first few weeks in China. It was time for us to show our thanks to them.
As I rested my elbows on the cool metal railing watching the cars whizz by and Chinese people go about their business, oblivious to the American holiday, I couldn't help but think of my own childhood Thanksgivings.
Endless gray Mid-Atlantic skies, the smell of burning leaves and pumpkin pies baking, and the forceful heat coming off of the wood-burning stove.
I could almost hear my brothers and me laughing as we jumped in a fresh pile of leaves, then the inevitable argument over who would rake the next pile. And me being the youngest- I raked a lot of leaves.
The vision that was my grandmother: hair perfectly coiffed, make-up just right, an apron to match her plaid Pendleton slacks and cashmere turtleneck sweater, as she moved with grace through the kitchen never once breaking a sweat or showing a sign that she was tiring after spending the entire day in the kitchen.
The sound of the football game blended with the gentle snores of my grandfather as he slept off yet another perfect Thanksgiving dinner with his hands folded, resting on a brass belt buckle.
I could see my mom and brother, Daniel, dancing the jitterbug without music playing in the kitchen, trying in vain to get me to join in on their fun. My brother, Herb, in a plaid flannel shirt and shit-kicker boots playing pool with my step-Dad who'd be sitting on a barstool resting his chin on the tip of the pool cue patiently waiting his turn.
It occurred to me that Grace and Willy would have a completely different memory of their childhood Thanksgivings.
"Hey!" I heard Robby shout from below. I peeked over the railing and waved. "Dinner ready? I'm starved."
"Yep, just been waitin' on you guys."
There we were. Chen sat silent, his shoulders hunched forward as he chewed his food slowly. He sipped on some jasmine tea that I'd bought earlier in the day. Xiao Li giggled and ate a decent portion of food. She even drank a beer. They both appeared to like their first turkey.
Jerry was his usual self. Chatting non-stop and asking me and the kids questions in Mandarin.
"Jenny-fer, I think your Shanghainese is very good, but I think your Mandarin is very bad." Though Mandarin is the official language of China, Shanghainese is a dialect spoken by the Shanghainese.
That statement would have thrown me for a loop in the first few weeks of life in China, but I'd learned enough by now to know that he meant it as a compliment. The Chinese don't mess around with ambiguous speech like native-English speakers. They say it like it is - a trait I'd grown to appreciate.
"Oh, thanks, Jerry. Yeah, to be honest, I have no idea what language I'm speaking…I just kind of repeat what I hear when I'm out and about."
"It makes you sound uneducated, like a shop keeper or a farmer."
"Well, I guess that makes sense because I communicate mostly with Xiao Li, Chen and people at the markets."
"You should find a friend on the internet that can help you learn Mandarin and you can help him learn English. This is a very pop-oo-lar way for Chinese people to learn English."
Umm. No.
"Maybe I will," I lied.
I was pleasantly surprised that the turkey and fixins' were decent. It was no Mom Mom Thanksgiving, but it was probably better than what I could pull off even in a real kitchen.
Robby sulked a little. No football to watch on TV.
"Robert tells me you will go to Thailand for Christmas."
"Yes! We are very excited."
"Will you make any plans to travel around China?"
"Well, we've been to Hangzhou and Suzhou…and we'd love to go to Tibet."
"Why are all the foreigners so fascinated with Tibet? All the foreigners want to go to Tibet. I do not understand."
That's a loaded question.
"Well, I imagine it is probably very beautiful."
"Oh yes. The central government invests so much money in Tibet."
"Really? That's interesting. I didn't realize that."
"Oh yes, so much money to Tibet. I do not understand why."
Word this carefully.
"Well, what do you think about the situation in Tibet? I mean, a lot of westerners believe Tibet should be as we say, 'free'."
"This is a matter of politics. It doesn't concern the people."
Interesting way to look at it.
"You know, Jenny-fer, before China took over Tibet the Dalai Lama and his monks kept the Han Chinese as slaves?"
"I did not know that, Jerry. Hmm. That's interesting. It's definitely not part of the typical Tibetan narrative."
"Narrative? What is this word?" He took his vocabulary book and pen out of his pocket to write it down.
As I spelled the word for him I continued. "Story. Narrative just means story…that isn't part of what we've heard about Tibet. We've just heard that Mao took over and many, many people died during the Great Leap Forward."
"Yes, but not just Tibetans died in the Great Leap Forward…many, many Han Chinese people died…big famine."
The conversation continued. I wanted to desperately to learn from Jerry. After all, he was Chinese. He could teach me more about his own country's history than what I could garner from books written by westerners. But we westerners - with our arrogance - believe the Chinese people have only been brainwashed. We believe they don't know their own history.
I tried to fall asleep that night but I couldn't. I couldn't help but ponder this notion of brainwashing. The reality is that we've all been brainwashed into believing that our way of life is somehow better than everyone else's way. Was it responsible for me to start believing the Chinese version of the story?

Like its predecessor -- the 2006 Hairy Tooth Fairy -- this Argentine children's film combines CG-animated characters and live-action human actors. It continues the tale of Perez, the sweet-natured, talking mouse whose nighttime job involves slipping into the bedrooms of young children, collecting the baby teeth under their pillows, and depositing coins in return. But that only represents half of his obligations; during the day, he works on a pearl ship, and the demands of two careers threaten to push him to the brink of exhaustion. Then, one night, Perez risks being found out when he slips into the room of Lucas and discovers that the little boy is both awake and waiting for him. With no other options, Perez waits for Lucas to fall asleep, and dozes off himself; he's then discovered by an attractive female mouse, Lola, who lives in Lucas' residence. The two escape from the bedroom together and forge a fast bond, and Lola teaches Perez salsa and bachata dancing; meanwhile, a vile show business producer named Gil Penkoff devises a crazy scheme that involves capturing Perez, making a spectacle out of him, and turning a profit off of him. To accomplish this goal, Penkoff strikes a deal with Lucas, so eager to catch a glimpse of Perez that he agrees to set a trap for the poor mouse the next time one of his teeth falls out. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Your'e chart is great, but can still not get any email to work on my LG Viewty other than the o2. On the settings section for the email (on the phone), after the SMTP authentication it has entries for SMTP username and password. Trouble is I am not sure what it needs here - the ISP's SMTP username or o2's SMTP username ? Whichever I try it does not seem to work.
Any suggestions ?

Are you familiar with chia? Besides the pet. ;) I've been seeing a lot of chia puddings out there these days, and for good reason. These little seeds boast so many healthful properties – tons of protein, fibre, Omega 3′s, antioxidants and much, much more. I've tried a couple different versions, even chocolate ones, but this was the first chia pudding that turned out just right for me and that we actually found crave worthy. It's delicious on it's own but the addition of in-season strawberries doesn't hurt one bit.
These little seeds get a gel coating that expands as they soak up the liquid, turning milk into the thickness of pudding. The end result is very reminiscent of tapioca pudding except that the chia seeds retain their crunch. Keep in mind that while they are perfectly fine to eat without soaking them first, they can potentially dehydrate you, because of their eagerness to soak up surrounding liquids. But, this shouldn't be a problem as long as you make sure you're drinking lot's of water, which you should be anyways!
Growing up, my mom used to chop up our fresh hauls of strawberries and toss them in sugar. I'd eagerly wait for them to soften and release their juices so we could start spooning them onto ice cream, pancakes, or anything we could get our grubby little hands on. Going with the healthier theme of this dessert I decided to toss them in honey just to give them that little bit of extra oomph they need to become soft and saucy. This is also one of our favourite topping for homemade yogurt.
With all the warm days ahead this is a refreshing, energizing and healthful treat to help power you through your day.
P.S. I buy my chia seeds from Costco. You should also be able to find them at your local health food store.
Vanilla Chia Pudding with Honeyed Strawberries
Chia Pudding
- 2 cups milk (or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
In a medium sized bowl or tupperware container, whisk honey and vanilla into milk until honey is dissolved. Gradually whisk in chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, whisking to break up clumps after one hour.
Honeyed Strawberries
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
Mix together strawberries and honey in a small bowl. Let sit five minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries have softened and release their juices. Spoon over pudding to serve.
Makes: 4 servings
Pudding adapted from Weelicious.

Thank goodness it's over. The 2012 election set a new record for campaign expenditures ? over $6 billion just for the presidential race. We were treated to a Niagara of television and radio advertisements, many of them annoying even if they supported your candidate of choice. We are entitled to a political "time out," despite the numerous domestic and foreign issues that urgently demand attention. Soon enough we'll have to face those issues, and soon enough, Americans will start to handicap the ? egad! ? 2016 election.

HARRISBURG, AR (KAIT/AP) – The man accused of murdering two people in Trumann in September 2012 appeared in court Monday.
According to the Poinsett County Prosecutor's Office, John Anthony Arnoult's case was continued to December 6. Prosecutors say they plan to seek the death penalty.
Mental exam results are still waiting to be submitted on Arnoult. A judge ordered the mental evaluation for Arnoult in March. Results of the mental evaluation have to be submitted before Arnoult can be put on trial.
Arnoult faces two counts of capital murder in the deaths of 56-year-old Constance Cole and 57-year-old John Poff. He also faces an aggravated residential burglary charge.
Cole and Poff's bodies were found September 2, 2012, by a maintenance worker who did a welfare check of the home after neighbors reported hearing gunshots.
Neighbors told police they heard gun shots around 6 o'clock and thought those shots were from dove hunters. Authorities say witnesses told investigators that a car drove away from the home shortly after gunshots rang out.
According to Arkansas State Police and the Trumann Police Department, on September 9, Arnoult was arrested in their deaths.
Trumann Police Chief Chad Henson said police found multiple wounds on the bodies, and a disheveled trailer.
Arnoult is being held without bond.

National Enforcement Initiatives for Fiscal Years 2008 - 2010:
Clean Water Act: Stormwater
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
Planning Topics
Annual Results Report
For additional civil and criminal compliance and enforcement results, see:
On February 22, 2010, EPA renamed its "National Enforcement Priorities" to "National Enforcement Initiatives" and announced the Agency's National Enforcement Initiatives for the 2011-2013 fiscal years.
On this page:
- Problem
- Approach
- Key Results
- Highlights
- Transition to the FY 2011-2013 National Enforcement Initiative
Stormwater runoff from construction activities and sewers in large urban areas significantly impairs water quality in rivers, lakes, streams, reservoirs, estuaries, near-shore ocean, and wetlands nation-wide. Soil disturbance and vegetation removal that occurs during construction increases erosion that transports sediment into waterways. As stormwater flows over construction and industrial sites, it carries other pollutants including: pesticides, petroleum, chemicals, solvents, asphalt, acid, and debris from the land into water sources that serve as drinking water, aquatic habitat, and public swimming areas. Urban stormwater discharged from storm sewers, called municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), is a major source of water quality impairment. Storm water picks up and transports these pollutants and then discharges untreated water into waterways through storm sewer systems.
To reduce water impairments from stormwater, EPA developed the Clean Water Act: Stormwater Strategy Summary of 2008 - 2010 (PDF) (2pp, 30K, About PDF). The Stormwater strategy aims to achieve maximum compliance with environmental regulations in order to protect human health and the environment. EPA uses compliance assistance, compliance monitoring, and enforcement tools, as appropriate, towards achieving goals and environmental outcomes of the strategy.During 2008-2010, EPA focused on Clean Water Act violations from stormwater runoff from the following industries: homebuilding construction, big box store construction, and ready mix concrete with crushed stone, sand, and gravel operations. EPA also investigates other sectors such as ports, road building operations, and federal facility construction to monitor compliance with Clean Water Act stormwater requirements.
Key Results
Fiscal Year (FY) |
Estimated Pollutants to be Reduced or Treated (lbs)* |
Estimated Investments in Pollution Control ($)** |
Civil Penalties ($)*** |
2008 | 1,300 million | $69 million | $7.7 million |
2009 | 200 million | $59 million | $4.9 million |
2010 | 660 million | $99 million | $7.4 million |
*Estimated pollutants reduced or treated is an estimate of the pounds of pollutants reduced, treated, or eliminated during the first year after a facility returns to compliance.
** Estimated investments in pollution control is an estimate of the defendant's cost to comply with consent decrees through the installation of appropriate pollutant controls. The values for FY 2008 through FY 2009 are adjusted for inflation using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics calculator.
*** Civil Penalties are penalties assessed, not collected. The values for FY 2008 through FY 2009 are adjusted for inflation.
- In FY 2010, EPA targeted enforcement actions against large home building construction sites and ready mix concrete facilities that also manufacture sand, gravel, or crushed stone in FY 2010, gaining commitments to reduce an estimated 660 million pounds of pollutants in the first year after the facilities return to compliance.
- EPA addressed the top 10 companies that build homes, the top six retail companies that build big box stores, and 10% of the companies that manufacture ready mix concrete and/or sand, gravel, or crushed stone, for compliance with stormwater permits.
- The primary pollutants reduced by these stormwater enforcement actions are particulate solids, oil, nutrients, oxygen demanding pollutants, and metals.
- A FY 2010 settlement with Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. will reduce an estimated 370 million pounds of sediment from flowing into local waterways in 18 states
- The settlement will protect an impaired water body, the Chesapeake Bay, with reductions of pollutants at 161 constructions sites in the Chesapeake Bay watershed in Maryland, Virginia, & the District of Columbia.1
- The settlement will protect an impaired water body, the Chesapeake Bay, with reductions of pollutants at 161 constructions sites in the Chesapeake Bay watershed in Maryland, Virginia, & the District of Columbia.1
- The State of Alaska will comply with Clean Water Act requirements for stormwater runoff from construction sites, resulting in reduction of more than an estimated 210 million pounds of sediment under the terms of an amended consent decree in FY 2010
- Reducing pollution from construction projects, such as sediment and materials used in construction sites including paint, used oil, pesticides, and solvents, is important because construction sites disturb large areas of land and significantly increase the potential for erosion and flow of construction materials into the nearest waterway.
- EPA created a new web site for the ready mix concrete sector to help regulated entities comply with stormwater requirements under the Clean Water Act that generated more than 3,600 site visits.
- EPA regional staff provided compliance assistance regarding stormwater compliance with the Clean Water Act to 2,494 concentrated animal feeding operations, 28 combined sewer overflow systems, 272 sanitary sewer overflow systems, 2,522 ready mix concrete facilities, and more than 10,000 facilities in other sectors in FY 2010.
Transition to the FY 2011-2013 National Enforcement Initiative on Keeping Raw Sewage and Contaminated Stormwater Out of Our Nation's Waters
In 2009 EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) conducted outreach to other EPA programs, EPA Regions, states and tribal governments, environmental media associations, environmental advocacy and environmental justice groups, and the public to solicit suggestions for OECA's enforcement initiatives for the 2011-2013 fiscal years. There was widespread support for continuing EPA's work on reducing pollution from raw sewage and contaminated stormwater. Work under this initiative will continue in 2011-2013 to focus on reducing discharges from combined sewer overflows ("CSOs"), sanitary sewer overflows ("SSOs"), and municipal separate storm sewer systems ("MS4s") in FY2011-13, by obtaining cities' commitments to implement timely, affordable solutions to these problems, including increased use of green infrastructure and other innovative approaches.

It's been a while since my last post. I guess life is getting busier which is a good and it also means i'm getting out more and off this computer. Scouts has been wonderful. The kids and I have jumped right in and are participating to the fullest. We have been to all the meetings and 2 weekend camps as well. Today had us marching in the remembrance day parade and a front row seat at the ceremony making for a wonderful experience. I have completed my leader training and have been welcomed into the fold nicely.
On the home front we have been experiencing our up's and down's. My truck blew it's engine and is ready for the grave. The Van failed aircare and needs repairs, and to top it all off my TV in the den has died. But i'm still smiling and counting my blessings even when the front door knob came apart in my hands just this morning :)
Nothing that time, money, and a little effort won't fix. We all still have our health and can get out and enjoy Gods wonderful creation.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel during an Aug. 16 conference call approved several rules clarifications in Division III men's volleyball, including not allowing the libero to serve.
The Division III Men's Volleyball Committee, which administered the inaugural Division III Men's Volleyball Championship in April 2012, had recommended several adjustments to align with the playing rules used in NCAA National Collegiate competition going forward.
Rather than appoint a separate playing rules committee as is done in several other NCAA sports, NCAA men's volleyball programs play using USA Volleyball Domestic Competition Regulations, with some modifications. With one season now under its belt, the Division III Men's Volleyball Committee reviewed playing rules in Division III to make sure they align whenever possible with the modifications adopted for National Collegiate competition.
In addition to not allowing the libero to serve, the following adjustments also were approved:
The panel also approved a change that permits only International Shooting Sport Federation Phase I electronic targets to be used for air rifle (10 meters) and smallbore (50 feet) in NCAA competition.
Additionally, all ties should be broken using the USA Shooting Rule 6.14. If there is not a shoot-off, Count Back Rules should be used with the first tiebreaker being the highest number of inner 10 shots.
Other actions
The panel did not support proposed experimental rules in men's soccer and bowling.
The Men's and Women's Soccer Rules Committee had endorsed the Atlantic Coast Conference's desire to experiment with eliminating the re-entry rule in the second half in league matches for the upcoming season. The ACC proposed using information collected over the season to decide whether the rule had merit for the collegiate game.
The Playing Rules Oversight Panel, however, felt that those statistics wouldn't adequately reflect all of Division I men's soccer.
In bowling, the panel voted down a request to experiment with the Lee Point System, which would emphasize individual or head-to-head scoring over team scoring. For example, each team's No. 1 scores would be compared against each other with the winner being awarded a point in the team score. This would be done for each of the positions in the lineup to determine an overall team winner.
The panel believes the current methodology (total pinfall) is the best way to decide a team winner.

Mexico City
So many things to see and do, food is great most places. Everything is so cheap, except drinks in nightclubs, they're pretty expensive. Taotihuacan is a must, and the Museo Nacional de Antropología is a good one to see too, very interesting.
Insider Tip:Learn to speak Spanish, no one speaks English! As with any city, find those small cafe/resturants outside the tourist areas on the smaller streets, for the best food.

C A+F Greek Life: it really makes no difference.
C A+F Greek Life: Its a pretty small portion of the population. No houses, pretty non-traditional.
B A+F Greek Life: Greek life doesn't seem to play much of a role on campus like it does at other schools. It's there if you want to join, but the only times I really hear about it are when they host comedy nights and other events that are open to the rest of the school community.
Greek Life: Greek life isn't really a big deal at Northeastern. Some people do it, but it isn't really a big deal either way
D A+F Greek Life: Greek clubs are actually volunteer clubs here. No houses = no parties. Greek life is almost nonexistant

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jenn Sinrich
Most students' involvement with Greek life doesn't extend beyond the occasional party. There are no sorority houses, supposedly because of Massachusetts' ancient "blue laws," which made it illegal for more than five unrelated women to live together (these laws were actually repealed). All of the fraternities are on Mission Hill, which is about a mile away from campus.
The Greek scene is easy to get to, but when it gets cold in the winter, many students feel that it's not worth the hike for what could very well be a mediocre party. At the beginning of each semester, there is Rush Week, when students can visit with the different houses and receive bids. Greek life seems to work for those who participate in it, but students can enjoy themselves just fine without it.

Looks like we might be getting a couple of new Lloyd Banks mixtapes in the near future. We've already heard of plans for Banks' first Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama. Could The Cold Corner 3 be on the horizon as well?
Banks dropped hints on Twitter yesterday that the third installment of his Cold Corner mixtape series could be coming soon.
Producer Cardiak, who has frequently collaborated with the Punch Line King seemed to confirm plans for TCC3 on his Twitter account.
What artists would you like to see Banks collaborate with on this project?

By Xcaliber
from LONDON ONT
Just received the green and love it. Simple setting, but the vibrant colour and cut of the stone make it elegant. Can wear everyday or dressy. Just ordered the earrings to match.
By Maisie's Daughter
from Caledon, Ontario
I love this ring. My sister has a jade ring that is similar but in 14K gold that she paid hundreds for and she likes this one better. I wear it on my middle finger and it sits nicely, and is very comfortable. It fits me true to size (9). The stone is lovely and has many facets and the gold plating seems to be of good quality. I'm thinking of ordering any colour in that size that's left.

I bought the green and red, as I already have the Diana set in blue. I am amazed at the color and size for the cost. More.....PLEASE!!! I now have the entire collection....
nice colour and size
By N.V.
from Toronto,Ontario
I have always wanted a big green sapphire ring and I am glad to find this. The colour is of the right green I was looking for and it is a bit transcluscent. For such good size, great colour and nice setting, I am giving it a 5.
Nice ruby stone
By mj
from NT
I got the ruby ring. It is a beautiful stone. Gave it a 4 rating as I'm not too sure on the gold plating yet.

A nice ring
By PAT
from WINNIPEG
I have large hands and this ring is more delicate than I usually buy. I decided to keep it because of the cut and colour of the stone (a nice red, slightly translucent). The bezel setting could be a little more substantial - I hope the stone doesn't fall out. Pretty and sparkly!

Gold plating has rubbed off already
By nancynurse
from Vancouver
Recieved this ring in ruby to go with the bracelet. Have only worrn them twice and the "gold" plating on the ring has worn off on the very thin shank. I have other jewellery with plating that is several years old and they still are "gold" in appearance. You only get what you pay for. Would not order from this line again.

Dinsmore & Sandelmann, LLP is a small and extremely effective law firm specializing in civil litigation and focused areas of transactional law. A major advantage of hiring us instead of a large firm is that every aspect of your case will be personally handled by Mr. Dinsmore and/or Mr. Sandelmann, not a low level associate or paralegal whose main function is to generate billable hours and who does not have the knowledge, skills or experience to navigate the complicated minefield of civil litigation. The traditional large firm assigns such an associate or paralegal to perform the bulk of pre-trial work, including the "discovery" process, the critical phase of serving and responding to interrogatories (written questions to be answered under oath), requests to produce documents, taking and defending depositions, and generally marshalling all of the evidence to be relied upon at trial. We have two attorneys, both seasoned veterans, who personally or in tandem handle the discovery process and every other phase of the case. Most cases are already won or lost by the time discovery is completed. The delegation of this essential function to an inexperienced associate or paralegal, the practice of most large firms, is a recipe for disaster that we regularly use to the advantage of our clients.
In today's technologically advanced world, the playing field in the legal battle between "David v. Goliath" has been leveled, if not tipped to the advantage of David. At Dinsmore & Sandelmann, some of the technological advantages we use to dramatically increase success against adversaries of all sizes and to decrease the expenses of our clients include:
Comprehensive online law library that would fill thousands of square feet in a traditional library and is accessible from any place and any time through the Internet.
Capacity to store, search and transmit from any location virtually unlimited pages of documents by scanning them through our high-speed on-site scanning technology.
Utilization of voice recognition software that enables us to dictate directly into any type of document with immediate transcription of our speech (versus the common method employed by attorneys in most large law firms to record on a tape that must be transcribed by a secretary, a time-consuming and costly procedure).
Use of PowerPoint and other software to create and present compelling graphic illustrations and summaries of evidence for use at trial, arbitration or settlement negotiations.
Video-taping depositions for use at trial and video-taping clients for trial preparation.
Because we are a small firm and do not require thousands of square feet of marble-adorned office space, fancy furnishings or a large and cumbersome staff, our overhead expense is low and allows us to provide the highest quality representation at rates not otherwise attainable. Furthermore, we believe you will find, as do we, that the aesthetics of our humble downtown Manhattan Beach office provide a refreshing and rejuvenating alternative to the monolithic skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles, Century City and the like. We also offer great flexibility in our billing methods, which include contingency (percentage of the recovery), hourly, flat rates or hybrids of the foregoing. For almost all of our contingency cases, we advance all of the costs so there is no up-front expense to our client. Most importantly, we truly care about each of our clients and fight for them as though they were family or close friends, always placing their best interests first and foremost.

When we came to make check-in, they sent us to another building. The room was dirty, I found some insects in the bed. We have been there for 4 days, and in none of them the cleaning woman came to clean our room or the bathroom. For the breakfast, we had to look for the cleaning woman to take cupons for it. After we had found the woman we went to have breakfast, wich was 3 blocks away, in a bar, and we only get coffe or juice and 1 bread.

The 99% pay more for electricity in NC
May 3, 2012 at 10:00 amCategory:Uncategorized
Duke Energy's electricity rates are poised to continue skyrocketing over the next few years, but only some customers will feel the burn. While the utility lures the world's elite technology giants to NC by offering cheap electricity, captive small business and residential customers are charged higher rates. The rate structure is patently unfair and is being challenged before the NC Utilities Commission by environmental watchdog NCWARN.
While this issue has been debated before Commission in the past, Duke Energy has successfully negotiated it away. The NC Attorney General also recognizes the unfairness but has yet to force a resolution to protect consumers. Read More…

Publication: theday.com
Springfield, Mass. (AP) — A longtime member of a Massachusetts church says thieves have ransacked the house of worship, taking "everything but the pews."
Bernadine Smith says the thieves took an organ, communion dishes, the PA system, microphone stands, furniture, silverware and other items from the Springfield church sometime last week. She estimates the losses at $150,000.
Police Sgt. John Delaney said somebody used a key to enter the church between Aug. 20 and Aug. 22.
The 80-year-old congregation has been at its present Bay Street location since 1965.
Smith tells The Republican (http://bit.ly/190c7jK ) the church has insurance, but those documents may have also been stolen.
She says everything is gone except for "the pews and a couple chairs out of the pulpit."
Do you think the U.S. should strike Syria for the alleged deadly chemical weapons attack?

American Pickers and hudsons

I watched Pickers tonight - one of my favorite shows.
Got really interesting with the stepdowns outside of "Tricky Dick's" place, but couldn't believe seeing the Super Jet in the garage. First time I think I have ever seen a Jet on television.
Was hoping they would talk about it, since it was in numerous scenes, but not a mention. -

Yeah, they should have shown more footage of the Hudsons. They panned across them outside for maybe 2 seconds and that was it. i bet Dwight has a few stories to tell about those cars.Dave W.
What's life without a Hudson? -
Stopped in to see Mike of American Pickers and talked to him for about 1/2 hour. He is just like he appears on TV. He has a 36 Hudson or Terraplane grill hanging on his wall in the shop area and a mid 20s Essexs radiator frame(Horz. levors) hanging on his office wall that someone has painted a picture on it. He wont sell them and thinks they are the neat things. He lives about a 100 miles from me and its interesting but, smaller than it looks on TV. He is opening a store in Tenn. and moving alot of things there. Said he started collecting things when he was just a kid,mainly from the city dump. Daniell (SP) wasnt there (NUTS) she only works in the morning. I wanted to see if those tatoos were real. LOL
dang, she is my favorite one on the show! you will have to swing back by in the morning some day. i don't have cable, but i catch the show at work in the breakroom sometimes.
yes yes I was hoping that the jet was a 2dr, but no luck. i too wanted more info about the hudsons gene

You may already know that but, just for your info. You don't need cable to get American Pickers. You may have it on your computer on history.com
Here's the link for the Tricky Dick's episode. Michel

hey, thanks for the link. i didn't know i could watch it online. i'm not a big computer person, so most stuff like that i don't know. i just watched this episode and it was pretty cool. don't blame him for not selling the grille or the ramblur sign. i would bave loved to looked around there too.

Current & Upcoming Films
FRAMELINE 37: Where I Am
DIRECTOR: Pamela Drynan
Expected to attend: subjects Robert Drake and Butch Cordora.
The eloquent, gregarious Philadelphia author Robert Drake was emerging as an important champion of gay literature when he flew to Dublin in the late '90s for a season of research and writing. As the editor of The Gay Canon: Great Books Every Gay Man Should Read and anthologies of contemporary queer fiction, Drake met and inspired the city's coterie of gay and lesbian writers before following the trail of William Butler Yeats to the town of Sligo. It was there, in January 1999, that two young men beat Drake so badly he was left with permanent brain damage.
"Either I could get better or I could get bitter," Drake declares, "and I chose the former and it has made all the difference." Writing remains a difficult, painstaking process, yet Drake expresses neither resentment nor self-pity—he lives completely in the present, squeezing the most out of each day. A reluctant icon of inspiration, Drake allows a camera crew to accompany him from the City of Brotherly Love to Dublin and Sligo on a fraught return visit to the scene of the crime, and the weeks of happiness that preceded it. First-time director Pamela Drynan, working with the experienced and sensitive cinematographer Richard Kendrick, has crafted a compassionate, soulful and resonant portrait that earns every iota of its emotional punch. A guy by the name of Fitzgerald once said there are no second acts in American lives, but what do writers know?
This film contains graphic depictions of homophobic violence.

Awesome location! I believe it's the cheapest hostel in town if you choose the 10-share. Matrasses are very poor quality though.

Without a doubt the worth hostel I have ever stayed in. The hostel has a good location and friendly staff. There were NO other positives to my stay. The rooms smell, its a very old, very poorly maintained building. I am disappionted that Hotesl World even displays this hostel as an option to travellers. Its pretty bad and I have travelled all over the world staying in many hostels.

Hello there my name is Harry Gardner I'm 22 years of age and I am based in London, and I have only recently become very interested in renaissance martial arts. This new interest stems from my passion for late 16th and early 17th century history.
As of the last 6 months I have begun a personal project of researching all areas of society and life in Elizabeth's the 1st London in the last 13 years of her reign (1590-1603) and was interested to know what fencing styles were prevalent during this time in London and England as a whole? Also would you be able to tell me which fencing masters/teachers were based in London and where were their schools. I know of Rocco Bonetti, his son Jeronimo, Vincentio Saviolo, Giacomo di Grassi and the official guild, English Masters of Defence. But what of others?
My 2nd question is what did rapiers look like during this period? Did styles change dramatically in these 13 years or did they generally keep to a consistent look, and would we have seen the Pappenheimer hilts alongside Swept hilts or other variations.
And last but not least I know George Silver was prominent during this time and advocated the use of the backsword, so again what did the backswords and basket hilts look like during these 13 years.
I look forward to your replies!
Kind regards,
P.s I apologise if this is in the wrong thread and will move it or delete it if notified by a moderator.

I'm having a real problem getting Avid to import the DNxHD files I transcoded via RedCineXPro.
I'm on a PC using the latest RedCineXPro and Avid MC 6.
When I import the DNxHD files they just show up as "media offline"
I'm new to Avid but it seems something is wrong like Avid can't work with RCXPro files or something.
Anyone else have this issue?
Any tips?

The joys of aerial photography over Ireland
Photographer and author Kevin Dwyer has produced three books of aerial photography of Ireland and is based in County Cork. Here he describes the waiting and celebrating experiences that comes with being an aerial photographer in Ireland, and how he captured the stunning image that became the cover of his latest book.
In 2007, I had a commission to take photographs of anchorages and harbours off the northern coast of Ireland. By early June I had a flight plan worked out, and I was ready to roll.
From my home near Ballycotton in County Cork I studied the weather forecasts in great detail, but nothing suitable developed in June. Potential flights were cancelled in both July and August because of bad weather. Later that month I went to the Weston Aerodrome in Leixlip, only to be told we were flying nowhere. I was becoming desperate.
Just toward the final days of September I could see a high pressure establishing itself off the north coast. I took off from Weston on 27th; it was a day from heaven.
As I approached my first target, a new marina in Coleraine County Derry/Londonderry, the island of Islay off the coast of Scotland (some 30 miles away) was clearly visible. In fact, I could still see it as I flew from Malin Head to Inishtrahull, the most northerly island of Ireland. The beaches of north Donegal were unbelievable; Tory Island – quite simply – looked out of this world.
We landed at Carrickfin Airport Donegal, refueled and took to the air again. Unexpectedly, St Patrick's Purgatory in Lough Derg presented itself to me.
Seven photos later I had my cover shot for my latest book Dwyer's Ireland – A View from Above.
Some things are just worth waiting for.
Find out more about Kevin Dwyer's photography, Lough Derg, and Tory Island

The Best of NileGuide
Beijing has a wealth of amazing, worldly and international restaurants. If you crave anything from around the globe a little searching will reveal your craving can be fulfilled in China's capital city. From authentic pizzas to imported Ethiopian cuisine, stellar Mexican fare and realistic American burgers. You'll find anything you desire and all mingling in the capital with delicious local Chinese food that can't be missed!
Beijing is famous for Peking Duck, and Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is the most famous representation of the Peking Duck recipe. Here you'll find locals and tourists alike enjoying a full duck along side traditional local delicacies and treats. Any first-time visitor to Beijing shouldn't miss this experience. If duck isn't your thing, Din Tai Fang offers dumplings and wantons to fill any stomach and offers a great contrast to the fancy elite cuisine at Quanjude.
For American fare, head to Blue Frog, a chain that has become wildly popular in Beijing. You'll find a whole page of burger options, delicious fries, and a breakfast menu that would make your grandma proud.
European cuisine is well represented by Cafe Europa, where you'll find a talent chef tossing together world-class recipes and an ever-changing menu of delightful surprises with inspiration drawn from across Europe. Fish Nation, in Sanlitun, represents the UK's fascination with fish and chips, and is a tiny walk-in restaurant famous among expats. Likewise, The Tree best represents the city's amazing pizza selection.
Xinjiang, China's north-western most province, offer spicy food in Beijing unlike the local fare. You'll find long lines of tourists and locals at Xinjiang Islam Restaurant where the nan, barbecue and noodle dishes keep people coming back time and again.
Mexican food is best represented by Amigo, where you'll find authentic-style Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine in tiny restaurant full of return customers.
South-East Asian cuisine is best represented by Nuage, for Vietnamese food, and Purple Haze Thai for excellent Thai cuisine. You'll find happy customers at both establishments.

I've spent a lot of time in the Dallas Fort Worth Airport over the years.
If I'm waiting for my flight home, you'll most often find me — depending on my departure terminal — in Chili's or Friday's or near the closest electrical outlet.
Today my sister Lou and I killed a couple of hours in the Cowtown Bar in Terminal A. And I'm pretty sure…
It's a portal back in time.
It started with the waiter, Adam. He was a very nice, attentive guy, don't get me wrong. But Adam was sporting a hairdo circa The Wedding Singer.
Let's just say, it caught the eye.
The music mix also took us back. "Last Kiss" started playing — "Last Kiss!" I remember a group called Wednesday made a version of that song popular in 1974. It has literally been a decade since I've heard that song.
This was followed by other hits from long ago. I felt like I had fallen into a time warp.
Then a couple came into the restaurant with their three-year old daughter. She was the spitting image of actress Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, No Reservations, Nim's Island). I decided it was her.
Which convinced me — we had traveled back in time.
Tragically, I didn't look any younger.
