Letterman needs to stop talking about blackmail scandal... immediately
Then he proceeded telling some pretty funny jokes about the scandal; he spent the weekend "raking my hate mail," that it was "chilly outside the house and chilly inside the house," and that the next phase is to go on Oprah and sob. He even acknowledged his odd comedic predicament by trailing off on jokes about Bill Clinton, Mark Sanford and Eliot Spitzer, realizing that he's not in the position to poke fun at those folks.
But then, after the break, he sincerely apologized to his staff for putting them through this mess, and said he had a lot of work to do to repair things with his wife, Regina Lasko. It was at that moment (video below) that I realized that Dave needs to stop talking about this mess... immediately:
The self-deprecating jokes Dave told in the monologue were a good deflection of the seriousness of what's going on in his life, but the more jokes he made, the more I felt that he was digging a hole he couldn't get out of. And then when he made that apology, sincere as it was, it felt like the hole just got much, much deeper. Luckily, he didn't do a Top Ten list about the incident, or I'd have started to think he was wallowing in his own misery in front of millions.
That's why it's time for Dave to stop talking about this incident and move on. It's going to be tough for him to do, as more information comes out about his various affairs, especially when this case goes to trial. He's never been shy about inserting jokes about the various weird things that he goes through; he alluded to "Mrs. David Letterman" many times during his Late Night days, for instance.
But those scandals didn't directly involve his personal behavior. The more jokes he drops about this particular scandal, the more guilty he's going to look. And, to be honest, that's not going to be good for either the quality of his show or the soundness of his marriage. So, hopefully, Dave is done with this, and we can just settle in to see more Top Ten lists about what to ask before adopting a monkey.

Housing development hopes to stay at home in town of Waukesha
A long-planned housing project that includes condominiums and single-family lots could finally make its way into the town of Waukesha.
A developer is looking to redevelop the Fred Lathers property at River Road along Highway I, south of Fox Vale Court, as a residential subdivision, and, more pointedly, remain as a town, not city, property.
The developer is proposing eight single-family condominium units west of River Road, and an additional 40 single-family lots east of River Road.
A majority of the Fred Lathers property is within the project boundary Vernon Wildlife Area, southwest of Waukesha West High School.
Based on the original parcel size of 91 acres and environmental corridor estimate of 28 acres, a maximum of 48 residential units was established based on Waukesha County's more restrictive density provisions, according to a town report.» Read Full Article

Waukesha business park gets a healthy addition with Dental Associates
An area probably best known for Goodwill, Lasertag Adventure and Walmart Neighborhood Market just off Highway 164 and East Main Street is now growing with another niche: the health industry.
A year after an urgent care facility and dentist office opened at the corner of Highway 164 and Coral Drive, joining a chiropractic office and a fitness center for women in the business park, the latest addition to the neighborhood will follow suit.
Dental Associates is entering the Waukesha market and is building a 21,571-square-foot dental facility on a three-acre slot just north of AFC/Doctors Express and Proven Dental. The office is expected to open in spring 2016.
Dental Associates, Wisconsin's largest family-owned dental group practice headquartered in downtown Milwaukee, recently started construction on its facility at 1211 Dolphin Court in Waukesha. The facility will be situated between the Goodwill store and the Central Bark Doggy Day Care at the corner of Highway 164 and East Main Street on the north end of Dolphin Court.
However, there will be no vehicle access points along those busy roads. The only access will be from Dolphin Court, a cul-de-sac off Dolphin Drive.» Read Full Article
Vietnamese restaurant Pho King opens, pizza eatery Bobanna's closes in Waukesha
A new restaurant is now open on Waukesha's southside, while an Italian pizza restaurant on Summit Avenue has closed.
Pho King, a Vietnamese restaurant, is open for business at 316 W. Sunset Drive. The restaurant occupies the building previously used by The Spot on Sunset, which moved into the former Broadway Cafe at 500 E. Broadway St. in June.
Pho King, which is family-owned and operated, also has a restaurant at 11112 W. National Ave., West Allis.
The restaurant serves pho, a Vietnamese dish that is made by creating homemade beef broth, steeped with warm and fragrant spices, according to the restaurant's website. The broth is then left to simmer for hours, giving it lots of flavor.
Pho is served with cuts of tenderloin and brisket, Vietnamese meatballs and tendons. Other variations of pho have been created such as chicken pho, seafood pho and pork pho.» Read Full Article
West Allis man charged with video taping women's restroom at UW-Waukesha
According to a criminal complaint, a West Allis man said he liked to watch and listen to females using the bathroom, and would spend weeks inside the opposite sex's restroom at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha doing just that.
But late last spring, Jacob E. Laurishke, 22, was busted after he began recording a woman inside a stall in a campus bathroom, the complaint said.
Now, four months after being caught, Laurishke was charged on Sept. 21 with invasion of privacy in a public place with a person present. If convicted, Laurishke faces up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.
He posted a $500 cash bond on May 6 and will make his first court appearance on Oct. 19 at the Waukesha County Courthouse.
According to the complaint, a woman, then 22, was in a public bathroom May 5 on campus and saw a black backpack on the floor in a stall. She said once she was in her stall she heard someone exit a stall and enter the stall next to her, the complaint read.» Read Full Article

Vacant for four years, the building that previously occupied a Kmart in Waukesha is back in business with new tenants.

Waukesha woman charged with fourth OWI offense after striking bus
A Waukesha woman who has a checkered past of operating vehicles while under the influence is facing more trouble following a high-profile collision.
Tricia M. Barnett, 46, has been charged with her fourth offense of operating a vehicle while intoxicated after she crashed her car into a bus with her 9-year-old niece as a passenger.
If convicted of the felony, Barnett could spend up to two years in prison and be fined up to $4,000. Barnett's driver's license could also be revoked for up to six years because she allegedly committed the offense with a child younger than 16 years old in the vehicle.
According to the criminal complaint, Barnett's vehicle struck a bus that had two children aboard after she picked up her niece from school shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, near the intersection of Oakdale and West Sunset drives.
Police noted one-third of the hood of Barnett's sedan was stuck under the rear bumper of the bus and needed to be towed.» Read Full Article

Workers in Waukesha losing jobs as GE takes strong stance in Ex-Im Bank dispute
Alex Hoekstra, a union representative for several hundred General Electric Co. employees in Waukesha, didn't ask to get pulled into the fight over the U.S. Export-Import Bank — the agency that has financed billions of dollars in international business deals on behalf of U.S. companies.
But he's smack in the middle of it now that GE has said it will close its Waukesha plant, where the Fairfield, Conn.-based company makes engines used in the oil and gas industry. The closure will eliminate 350 jobs over the next couple of years.
Earlier this week, GE said Congress was to blame for the closure because it has failed to reauthorize the charter of the Ex-Im Bank. The company said it is moving the Waukesha engine work, and the 350 jobs, to a $265 million factory it will build in Canada, because that country has an export credit agency.
The news was a "shock to the system," said Hoekstra, a business representative for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
"These are real people with families and bills to pay. What have we done to deserve this? It's insane," he said.» Read Full Article

Waukesha Reads program is under way
The monthlong community read program is officially under way in the city of Waukesha.
Waukesha Reads — The Big Read 2015 will center around the book "A Wizard of Earthsea," by Ursula K. Le Guin, is a classic coming-of-age novel and popular 1968 American fantasy novel.
The program, which includes around 35 events and more than 13 separate book discussions at various locations in Waukesha, began at last week's Friday Night Live, when free copies of the book were distributed at the downtown event.
Waukesha Reads is based on the idea that residents have the opportunity to come together to read, discuss and celebrate a single book and author.
The program is coordinated by the Waukesha Public Library and many community partners. Waukesha Reads is part of the Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, which offers grants to support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book.» Read Full Article
Former Waukesha pastor charged with sexual assault pleads not guilty
Two months ago, a criminal complaint said Peter Knebel admitted to touching a 10-year-old girl's breast inside his church office because he said it would excite him.
But the former pastor at Fox River Christian Church in Waukesha, who is charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child/sexual contact with a person younger than 13 years old, has pleaded not guilty to the felony.
Knebel, who remains out of jail on a $5,000 cash bond, made his plea during a court appearance on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at the Waukesha County Courthouse.
His next hearing is scheduled for Nov. 2. If convicted, Knebel, 72, faces up to 60 years in prison.

CSAC was asking Barnett if he'd gone to rehab when he had that quickly adjourned (to a later date) re-licensure hearing that was more than he expected...and they seemed to be suggesting it, which blew my mind. Telling a pro athlete to go to rehab for either of such substance is ridiculous.

I found myself in the Innervisions recovery houses for several months twenty years ago here in Vancouver and we did have a goofy kid come in for his 'pot problem'. He didn't stay long and no one did take him seriously. He was just a messed up kid I guess but addiction wasn't his problem.

Pretty much. The "rehab" is not going to be some crazy inpatient deal where they are climbing the walls an institution. It will be a short program of periodic meetings where he is "educated" on the negative effects of marijuana, then gets a paper signed and walks away. Big deal. believe it or not folks, this is what progress should look like.

It's a hell of a lot better than a 9 mos to a year and a huge % of the purse. I'd take outpatient rehab, which amounts to going to a few meetings, any day over that.

Gina Jaeger will Speak About Similarities Between Girl Scouts and Soroptimists at the Jan. 22 Program Meeting
At the January 22 Ventura Soroptimist program meeting, Gina Jaeger will speak about the similarities between the Girl Scouts and Soroptimists. The central mission of the Girl Scouts is to improve the lives of girls, and inspire them to improve the world around them. This mission is very similar to the Soroptimist mission of improving the lives of women and girls in our community and throughout the world. Gina will focus on how the Girl Scout Leadership experience is built around a leadership model with SPECIFIC outcomes. The 3 keys are Discover, Connect and Take Action. She will explain how girls discover themselves, connect with others and take action to create positive change in their communities.
Gina Jaeger is a native of Pennsylvania. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration at Bloomsburg State College, and an MBA in Finance from Golden Gate University. Gina retired from the United States Navy in June of this year at the rank of Captain after serving 30 years as a Health Care Executive. After serving in assignments all over the US and overseas, her final assignment was as Commanding Officer of Naval Health Clinic Corpus Christi, Texas which served military beneficiaries throughout Texas. Gina was selected for the CEO position at Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast after a national search earlier this year, and assumed this job shortly after her retirement from Active Duty. Although not a native Californian, her husband and his family are from Camarillo.
If you are interested in attending this meeting on January 22 at 12 noon at the Ventura Marriott Beach Hotel on Harbor Blvd in Ventura or want more information about the Soroptimist club call Peggy Ruesink at 796-0470 to RSVP by January20. The cost is $15.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
The 1848 is an immensely popular date due to the limited original mintage of 15,000 business strikes. Nevertheless, one should not call this date rare in an absolute sense, as enough circulated coins are extant to satisfy demand from most collectors. Advanced specialists, however, should recognize that a Mint State 1848 Seated Dollar is a significant condition rarity.

Join Shemales In Public
ShemalesInPublic has 11 videos with high-def playback. You will also find an option for your mobile devices. Trannies seem to be going down on dudes on buses and subway cars, in parking lots, restaurants and bars. My oh my, these are indeed exciting times we live in, even if some folks might condemn us for enjoying such public debauchery. I'm not sure what I would think if I went out for a nice meal and saw a shemale go down on her dinner date. At least when the server asks them to stop they move it into the restroom.
I think my favorite scene is slightly more believable. It shows a combination male stripper and drag show. A hot dude shows off what he's got by posing in underwear. In the crowd, you see a transsexual fan flashing her tits and jerking her dick to show her appreciation of the nearly naked man. After he finishes, he gets dressed and joins this horny tranny in the front row. They suck each other off as someone behind them watches. The guy ends up lubing those shemale tits with a thick load from his uncut cock.
There are also 11 photo sets with big photos to download in Zip files or to view in a hands-free slideshow. It's another chance to revisit the action. It's here that I noticed that the scene in a parking garage shows fucking as well as sucking. They don't let the speed bumps on the ramp slow them down. Then again, the scene fills over 160 photos and almost 19 minutes of video, so they certainly pace themselves even if they go at it like rabbits.

Displaying nephropathy
Everyone knows we should value the knowledge and experience of the older generation. Now JDRF-funded researchers are acting on this advice, and turning to people who have had type 1 diabetes for more than 50 years to gain new insights into how the condition progresses.
The results of this study, led by researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center in the USA, have been published in the journal Diabetes Care. By looking at people who have spent fifty or more years living with type 1, the team aimed to shed light on factors that provide a protective effect against the complications of type 1.
Using medical records, the 351 participants were assessed for retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and cardiovascular disease in relation to diabetes measures like HbA1c levels. A high proportion of the group were shown to be completely free from these complications, independent of their blood glucose control over the previous 15 years. This suggests they have inbuilt protection mechanisms that could be useful targets for therapies to benefit the general population.
Lead researcher, Professor George King, said: 'If we can identify what constitutes this protective mechanism, we have the potential to induce such protections in others living with diabetes. That's huge.'

Lawrence University (Wis.) softball standout and Dacula grad Shannon Murray has been to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Great Lakes Region Team.
Murray was a second-team selection in the utility category, and this marks the third time she has earned all-region honors in her career. Murray was a third-team selection in 2010 and 2012.
Murray was Lawrence's top pitcher and top hitter this season, posting a 13-11 record with a 2.32 ERA in 148 innings. She struck out 93 and walked 22 while tossing a pair of shutouts and pitching a combined no-hitter, the third of her career.
Murray, who played first base and served as the team's designated player, hit a team-high .379 with nine doubles, one triple, one homer and a team-high 22 RBIs.
She was named the Midwest Conference North Division Pitcher of the Year and earned all-league honors for the second consecutive season after leading Lawrence to a second-place finish in the Midwest Conference.

Love this film. I thought it was going to be a good one when I read the info on the schedule. But, wow, who would think a law school mock trial could have this much interest and suspense built in. Unfortunately, I missed the first 30 minutes of this great film. Please, please, TCM, would you please show this "keeper" again? Thank you, TCM. Keep these great gems coming. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
An interesting debate with a good heart

This is a very interesting film where a law student finds financial shortages early in the career of the current beloved mayor. Well acted, suspenseful picture. Fine performances by Dean Jones and Thomas Mitchell, and a good supporting cast.
What a gem!

I came across this wonderful film on TCM today and was completely awestruck. Firstly, the acting is simply top-notch. You couldn't have cast a better actor in the role of Mayor than Thomas Mitchell, and the upstart law student played by Dean Jones is Jones' finest performance. At its base, this film is about the fairness of the law and the fact that certain deeds fall into a gray area rather than always being so clear cut. The great Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo, know for his many landmark decisions, is cited near the end of the film. Cardozo believed in "relief for the overburdened" in the law and nothing illustrates his belief more than this film. It is very difficult to describe the film without giving away much of the ending and I will not do so. If you happen across this film when TCM shows it again, please do watch it. You will learn a lot about the history of our nation during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s and you will come away with a great respect for our American farmers who stuck it out despite incredible odds. Superb film, worth your time and certainly worth a law school class viewing!

The Sopranos DVD Set for $400? What a Deal!
So let's do the math here: Six seasons (TV Guide says seven, but the official HBO site refers to Season Six, Parts 1 and 2, as one season, so we'll go with that) divided by $400 comes out to $66.66 per season.
And it's not just ANY TV series. It's The Sopranos, for gosh sakes, with some cool extras. The 30-disc boxed set will feature all six seasons; an interview with series creator David Chase, conducted by Alec Baldwin; three soundtrack CDs; and two featurettes with the cast sitting down for dinner and reflecting on the series.
The only thing I'm thinking is that the individual seasons have even more extras. Like, for example, Season Two includes a featurette called "The Real Deal," with critics, psychiatrists, and former FBI agents discussing The Sopranos. Season Five features audio commentaries with directors Steve Buscemi, Peter Bogdanovich, Mike Figgis, and Rodrigo Garcia.
It would be nice if they included all of that in the complete set. And maybe a Satriales coffee mug or Bada Bing flip-flops or something. Then again, maybe we don't have all the intel yet either. No word on whether the complete set features alternative endings. I'm guessing not. (Rats, now I've got Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" playing over and over in my head.)
At any rate, I'll probably be shelling out the dough. What about you? Will you slap down 400 bucks for this DVD set?

Marketing: The Key to Success
Marketing: The Key to Success
By Barbara Lewis, MBA, Law Practice Management Section Executive Committee. Lewis is a partner with Centurion Consulting Group, which provides business consulting for law firms. The views expressed are her own. She can be reached through the Web site at www.centurionconsultinglaw.com.
Marketing can be focused on two groups: the client or end-user of your services and/or the referral source who refers the client/end-user.
The most cost-effective way to market is to concentrate on the referral source. You can market to one referral source who may refer you five clients over the course of one year.
Or you could use the same time to market to one company, and you may or may not get that one client.
The best way to identify your market target is to review your list of clients from the past several years and determine how your clients originated and which industry dominates your client base.
If you determine that you have a predominance of clients in the construction industry, then marketing through construction associations and publications will probably be beneficial.
In analyzing who referred your clients, you may discover that a number of referral sources are certified public accountants. Consequently, you should be speaking at CPA organizations and writing for CPA publications.
Once you've determined where your past clients have come from, you are ready to use that data to develop a marketing plan for the future. Research has shown that firms with a written marketing plan have more growth in revenues and profits than firms without a plan. Average revenues and profits per attorney are higher as well -- by as much as nearly 150 percent. Developing a marketing plan is critical if you want to generate more profit.
The marketing plan, divided into two areas of reputation and relationship marketing, is a month-by-month program of action steps describing what you intend to accomplish during the next 12 months. Reputation marketing includes speeches, articles and seminars that will build your reputation, whereas the relationship marketing is one-on-one marketing to individuals. You can do relationship marketing without the reputation side. However, you usually can't do reputation marketing without the relationship unless you have a very high profile, media-intensive case or practice.
The most crucial element of the marketing plan is to develop a database or mailing list, which is the core of any marketing program. This list contains your targets for relationship marketing. The adage "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" is true. You need to communicate with your referral sources, clients and prospects on a periodic basis (about four times a year) so that they remember you when they need you.
Relationship marketing focuses on the individual. One of the best ways to enhance a relationship is to eat a meal with your target and to do so periodically.
Many great rainmakers obtain their clients through social situations. The key in a social situation is to talk about what you do in a way that lets the listener know more about your skills and talents.
Another great way to develop quality targets for your marketing is through networking in groups and organizations that mirror your current client base or referrals sources.
(These points and more will be covered in depth in an "Attorney/CPA Marketing Plan and Networking Workshop" on October 24, 2001, presented by LACBA's Law Practice Management Section.)

Over the past few years, the Tea Party has arisen from an impassioned backlash on the size of government and its consequences for individual freedoms. Regardless of how one might feel about their policy prescriptions, the movement has been influential in provoking discussion on government action in our daily lives. Unexpectedly, the Tea Party has begun to broaden their interests to focus on E-Verify, a highly controversial program used to verify the eligibility of workers.
In an open letter to Congress, many Tea Party groups expressed strong disapproval over a recent bill, which mandates the use of E-Verify for all businesses. The conservative coalition points out many negative economic effects of this bill, but they also identify the proposal's impact on civil liberties and the potential for a national ID system:
The Act empowers the Department of Homeland Security to compile and monitor the personal information of every person seeking employment, and to surreptitiously transfer it to yet unspecified entities.
The result is a de facto National Identification System, and the enabling language that mandates the intrusive collection of personal data could grow to include biometrics such as fingerprints, DNA and/or iris scan. This invasion becomes tantamount an unconstitutional, warrantless search.
The letter aptly suggests that E-Verify would violate Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, but it fails to point out further consequences for many minority communities. OneAmerica, an immigrant advocacy organization, notes that the implementation of E-Verify would result in discrimination against immigrant populations.
E-Verify is just one government program that Tea Party enthusiasts should find objectionable. Conor Friedersdorf of The Atlantic claims that if you're worried about big government, then you should be worried about war too. Since 9/11, the federal government has engaged in costly wars and unending attacks on civil liberties. Friedersdorf makes an astute historical connection between many wars and the suspension of civil liberties:
Excepting slavery and Jim Crow, all the most oppressive laws and extra-legal measures in American history have been passed in the name of war or national security: the Alien and Sedition Acts, Abraham Lincoln's suspension of habeus corpus, the Espionage Act and Woodrow Wilson's other radical World War I era excesses. You'd think that the advent of another war would cause left and right alike to be on guard against excesses. Throughout American history, during just, necessary wars and wars of choice alike, civil liberties have suffered in the most extreme ways.
The violation of basic civil liberties is not a partisan issue; it is a concern for individuals of all ideological perspectives. The Tea Party, along with the rest of America, should continue to speak out against invasive, unconstitutional programs.

You can see them scattered here and there on the Åland islands; the stately and beautifully embellished Midsummer poles – a symbol for both Åland and the summer. is a beloved tradition. You are welcome to participate in the old rituals around the Åland Midsummer pole and help with all from decorating with leaves to pole rising. Midsummer is a festival that the people of Åland celebrate joyfully, preferably outdoors, with friends and family. The girls make wreaths of meadow flowers to wear on their heads. Joint dinners and the raising of the village's Midsummer pole are also part of the Midsummer celebrations. The celebrations are also noticed in the grocery stores and shops which all close early at Midsummer Eve. Some are also closed on Midsummer Day, so shop your groceries in time! Traditional foods for midsummer are for example pickled fish and early potatoes in combination with well-chilled schnapps, smoked and pickled salmon, crisp bread or black bread – and a tasty strawberry cake for dessert. Midsummer Eve is always celebrated on the Friday that is included in the time period 19-25 of June.
In 1998 besides all the normal fervour Midsummer Festival was celebrated by Aland, by also issuing this commemorative stamp 4.20 and First Day Cover on 27.4.1998. Pia gave me this pretty FDC.

Superb flavors & textures - definitely worth the effort. I sliced the cantaloupe by hand, thin rather than very thin, which I think provided a nice contrast to the very thin celery and scallions. I served it as appetizer/salad followed by simple oven roasted salmon filet & fresh corn on the cob. Perfect summer dinner.flag if inappropriate
The dressing was outstanding. I used lime instead of lemon, and white wine vinegar instead of Champagne. Loved the mint and the shallots. As far as the salad goes, I think the dressing over just the melon would have been perfectly adequate. I know that might not be texturally appealing, but the radish and celery didn't add anything but work to the recipe, in my opinion. Will make the dressing again.flag if inappropriate
This was surprisingly VERY good. I really liked the layers of flavour with the acid, sweet, bitter all well balanced with a nice texture. Slice the cantaloupe crosswise after halving it lengthwise with a mandoline.flag if inappropriate
This was really easy and refreshing. The only thing I changed was white wine vinegar in place of Champagne vinegar as I didn't have. Will be making this again.flag if inappropriate
The flavors were nice and bright - great for a hot summer night. My only issue is that it's very labor intensive (thus the 2 forks). The crunch of the veggies is a nice juxtaposition to the soft melon, and the mint and lemon juice in the dressing was nice.flag if inappropriate
We made this recently, and were in agreement that the flavors clashed as presented (two bites and the rest went in the disposal). I'd try making this again, eliminating the shallot, onion and radish. The celery and cantelope were a nice, surprising combination and the lightly minty dressing was refreshing.flag if inappropriate
As presented, this is the rare recipe on the site that I thought was inedible. Elimiating the onion and radish would be a drastic improvement (and I'm usually a fan of both). The cantelope and celery was a good combination, and the vinagarette was otherwise tasty. We prepared this recently, and both of us didn't finish the portion and the rest went in the trash.flag if inappropriate
I liked it too. I was afraid the vinaigrette was going to be too bland, but it really nicely complemented the melon, radish, celery and onion.flag if inappropriate
I don't know what made me try this recipe but I'm so glad that I did! The flavors were very nice together and so summery and fresh tasting. I really reoommend this salad.flag if inappropriate

The Social Security Administration uses a five step sequential evaluation, the five step sequential evaluation asks whether or not you have engaged in gainful activity, whether you have a severe impairment, meet a listing, whether you can return to the work that you did in the past and whether you are capable of performing other work in the national economy based on your age, education and transferable skills.
On the other hand, each long term disability policy has their own definition of disability that generally the
definition is the inability to engage in the material and substantial duties of your occupation.
The definitions are not the same.
In the Social Security determination, advancing age is factor in determining whether to award benefits and it treats advancing age as a limiting factor in ability to adjust to the work. On the other hand, long term disability carriers do not use age in assessing whether or not a policy holder meets its definition of disability. If your disability benefits have been delayed or denied, call long term disability attorney Nancy Cavey today at 727.894.3188 no obligation consultation.

How To Throw A Fun-Filled Friendsgiving
Not to be confused with Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving is an entirely different holiday in and of itself. Thanksgiving is when you go to your aunt's house to find a beautiful turkey, many perfected side dishes and a dessert table to die for. Friendsgiving is when you band together with a group of misfits and eat cheap imitations of those things. For me, it started in college when my friends and I decided we would celebrate Friendsgiving before going to our respective hometowns for Thanksgiving. Now that I have moved across the country and cannot afford to fly home for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving has taken the place of the aforementioned holiday altogether and has quickly become one of my favorite days of the year. Here are the things I have found essential in throwing a fun-filled Friendsgiving:
1. Place Cards. No matter how small the group, nothing says this is an official holiday like some fancy place cards.
2. Pre-established food expectations. One Friendsgiving, we got a last minute turkey with grocery store rewards points and guess what, turkeys need to thaw! Great story, questionable meat. Last year I made the mistake of assuming my friend new how to use a gas oven and took a fireball to the face singeing my eyebrows off. This year, we are looking at turkey sandwiches and Stovetop, which is not only acceptable, but also probably safer.
3. Entertainment. Now this is not a requirement, but I personally insist on watching all ten Friends Thanksgiving episodes. It takes roughly four hours and perfectly sets the tone for the day's festivities (duh Friends-giving). My family always ended Thanksgiving with a Christmas movie to kick off the holiday season. This year we will be ending our Friendsgiving with Elf to kick off the season of quoting Elf.
4. Funtivities. At Friendsgiving, everyone sits at the kids table. I like to spice things up with some activities, crafts and games. One year I busted out the Perler Beads and they were a HUGE hit. I have also found coloring books and Mad Libs to work just as well. What we lack in culinary skills we make up for in childish amusement.
5. A solid group of misfits. It doesn't matter how large or how small the gathering, the quality of the group is key. You get one Debbie Downer and you're doomed. It's okay to miss your family and maybe Skype with them at some point during the festivities, but don't let your lack of a Thanksgiving ruin your enjoyment of an awesome Friendsgiving.
Hope everyone has a great holiday, even if you can't make it home for your aunt's amazing pumpkin pie and homemade whipped cream. Keep in mind nobody likes a Debbie Downer. Be thankful for the great friends you've made and celebrate with them in whatever fashion suits you!

Reason to Love Memphis #41: Midtown's Living Room
The Lamplighter Lounge is Midtown's living room. So much so that last night, several bedheadded young men came in and ordered bottles of Pabst in their pajamas.
It's the definition of a dive bar, meaning that drinking at the Lamplighter is like drinking in your grandma's basement. There's no liquor at the Lamplighter, only cheap beer. There's food, too – greasy burgers, legendary patty melts, the occasional vat of chili (depending on who's working that night). And don't even think about trying to pay with a credit card.
Though the legendary Miss Shirley isn't behind the counter very often (due to her health), her legacy is still all over the bar. She didn't tolerate foolishness, and once, she threw legendary photographer William Eggleston out of the bar.
The weeknight and weekend crowd is about the same – a mix of musicians, Midtowners and the middle-aged, all looking for a quiet drink. No one is a big deal (including the people that are). There is no trivia night at the Lamplighter. They'll probably never do karaoke. You can't pick up a wireless signal there. What they do have is a pool table, a small TV with grainy reception that constantly plays sports, and the greatest jukebox in town.
This is the sort of place where every song that plays on the ancient, cranky jukebox is the perfect song. Don't expect any hipster favorites – just lots of un-ironic country standards, classic ballads and the occasional Meatloaf track.
Cat Power's video for "Lived in Bars" (which was filmed at the Lamplighter), gets it totally right, both thematically and visually:

Velvet Kush (duplicity)
I really like it when we receive a review for a strain that I recently reviewed myself. Gives me the ability to see what someone else thought compared to what I thought. Duplicity recently sent in a review of some Velvet Kush. Funny thing is I had just smoked some from the same dispensary that day.
Submitted By: duplicity (Member)
From: Reseda Discount Caregivers (Dispensary)
Grade: B+
Type: Indica
Price: $20/G, $60/8th
Looks: Various shades of green with some purple mixed in (probably varies with grow conditions). Very frosty and dense.
Taste: Not very strong. All I could make the taste out to be was Kush.
Buzz Type: Stony, couch lock, but very relaxing. Awesome strain for people seeking pain relief, assistance sleeping, and anxiety.
Buzz Length: Long. About 3 hours.
Overall: Velvet Kush got a B+ and not an A because it was a bit harsh. Besides that it had a wonderful head high that seemed to last forever. The dense, resinous nugs are great for the person out there who likes a strain that can have them soaring after one hearty roast. –duplicity
I am not sure why the watermarks are so big on your pics. I am new to the watermark feature but I think it has something to do with the size of the pics you sent in. The were not quite 640×480 exactly. Anyway, great review. –Chubbs

looks like some fire! Do you happen to know the genetics behind this one? looks like a unique kush thats for sure.
After noticing the changing of rating due to harshness, I'm caught at a standstill…To this day, I have many friends who LOVE harsh (to an extent) herb, because they INSIST coughing is a better way to get high. They reason that the dizzyness from the slight blood rush to the head from hacking up a lung adds to the effect of the overall experience. Not quite sure what to believe…
Going by the name it and color in it. I'm thinking it's crossed with DJ Shorts Blue Velvet(Purple Thai x Afghani Indica) since that is purple in color and smells fruity. That also explains the long head high from the Thai influence.
i like that

Testing the Continental Tire ContiSportContact 5 P
I think that the face of the Sonata Hybrid should be on the Sonata Turbo instead.
Nothing new here and all of them are dog butt ugly.If this is all 2001 has to offer we might as well cancel it.
the escalade is the best in its class "."
best caddy coupe ever? on power train, may be. but on the dessign side there are many that look more like a real american coupe.
Good one @smilemani but i like caddy and hope they get there crap together. Oh and @millertime im glad they didnt put fords on here!! These car co.s need a lil more ad help!! Ford is doing great so they dont need motortrend to make a bs article to bring them attention!!!HAHA! GO FORD!!
why are there no fords on this list??
The cts coupe is an ugly piece of *****************. how can you say it looks good? it looks like an X6 with two doors and slightly lower. same for the infiniti. its ugly garbage. and the Cayenne DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN INFINITI. I actually want the Cayenne Turbo. I could put people in crapmaros to shame
Too bad Hyundai had to put that ugly grill on the Sonata. If I bought one I'd be looking for a regular Sonata to get rear end totaled and perform a "makeover" with the regular car's front end. Hope that wouldn't void the warranty!!
omg! cayenne turbo!
CTS Coupe is sexy, juke is terrible, benz is boring, Hyundai is ugly. Cayenne is sweet, good article!
i kind want the juke it cool its a teenager car for sure
I didn't think there was anything uglier than the CTS coupe.... Then I saw the Nissan Juke... Yup. Nothing is uglier than the CTS coupe.
Cayenne Turbo!I like the descriptive nature of the article. "OMG!"
Though maybe there would be something new that we haven't seen yet.Yawn.
Nice...I hope the Sonato Turbo's performance numbers are better. The CTS coupe is sweet as crap - but I'll wait for the V modelThe Juke is ugly - the next generation AztekBenz - uglyOverall though, nice vehicles

Companion forum thread to:2005 Lightweight Down Jackets Review Summary and Gear Guide Overview
The Skaha Plus will be part of my 2006 Nunatak aquisition quota. Make that the only item I'll be able to afford to get from Nunatak next year.Truly a case of getting what you pay for.
How does the Moonstone Lucid down sweater ($160, 11 oz) compare in terms of loft and other performance characteristics?
Next time you do a round-up have your DIY boys build one of the kits over at www.thru-hiker.com and include them. I'd like to see them compared head-to-head with the commercial gear.
Jonathan - We did not have a Moonstone Lucid to include in our review summary, so I can't make any direct statement about its loft or performance. We will try to look at the Lucid in the next few months, including a review and measurements statistics.
That's a good idea. It would be nice to see how a DIY garment built by a moderately skilled person compares with the commercial products. We'll consider that in future review summaries.
hi-in reviewing what's out there for under $200 and under 1 lb, I've also come the jackets listed below. Has anyone had any experience with any of them? Ryan Jordan's blog commented favourably on the Cloudveil. thankstom--Montbell Alpine down jacket: "box" construction, 6oz of 725 down; no hood; 15 oz--Cloudveil Bivouac jacket- hooded; sewn-thru; 650-fill, 15 oz--Moonstone Lucid jacket: 800-fill; sewn-thru, no hood; 10.5 oz; --OR Trance sweater: sewn-thru; 700-fill; no hood; 15.4 oz.
Own a size medium Montbell Alpine Down jacket. Purchased it just to have a nice looking warm jacket for non-active winter pursuits: birding - day and night. Features, fit, and finish are exceptional. This jacket is so very warm. Winter has been warm this year, but some wee hours in December had sub +5 deg F mornings. Jacket kept me very warm with no activity. Forget about using it for anything that gets the blood pumping - it would cause a great deal of sweating, IMHO. My only complaint about the jacket (and I knew this going in) is that it lacks a hood. Any garment with this much insulation should really be a parka with a hood, or a shorter length hooded-jacket. I don't ski, so maybe that is an application for a very well-insulted hoodless jacket. It might have an application for Alpine (not Nordic) sking - though it might be too warm for some downhill ski areas.The only other thing to mention is that you'll look like a Pillsbury Pop'n Fresh Doughboy or a Stay-Puff Marshmellow man wearing this thing. It is very "poo-fy". Figure that it has almost as much down as in a WM Highlite short sleeping bag (7oz vs 6oz for the jacket), but it's all in just a jacket's dimensions. The down really lofts in this thing. And while only 6oz of down, for example, the sleeves' outer diameter rivals my 25yr old Eddie Bauer Kara Koram parka (supposedly good to -40deg F, double-layer offset box quilt - used infrequently over the years, so down is still pretty clean and lofts well, almost like new).

I have owned the Montbell UL Inner Jacket for a while now and have used it down to about 25 degrees and been fairly warm with an Icebreaker wool 190 long sleeve shirt under it and my dragonfly windshirt on top. Recently, I also purchased at a steep discount the matching Montbell UL vest with a placket front with snaps about 10 inches down the front. By combining these two items at a total weight of 12.72 oz (size Large), I have created a very warm dual layer parka that has kept me warm sitting around a high Sierra Camp at about 20 degrees. I have not had it lower but could easily imagine it keeping me warm into the teens. Throw a Raindrop top over that and I know it would keep me warm in any three season conditions. This system also provides sleeping and warmth flexiblity. Anyone else tried the vest/jacket combination?
hi-I too have the Montbell UL Inner Jacket but with the Thermawrap vest. Under my shell, etc, fine at rest into the mid-20's for me. And if colder, I've added my Driclime jacket as a middle layer. Probably not as warm as the down/down combo! If I could have a "do over" now ($'s aside), I might lean toward a light down vest + the new UL Thermawrap jacket...tom
I also have a Montbell Alpine Down. It uses box construction so no cold spots, and as mentioned by PJ, the loft is pretty ridiculous. Would certainly benefit from a hood, and at 15 oz. isn't the lightest around. I'll admit to coveting the Nunatek, but my wallet is one area in which I don't mind carrying a little extra weight. I get Montbell's Japanese prices here in Hong Kong and at $120 there's not much to complain about. God knows there are enough tailors around this place so a snap on hood may just be $20 and a bit of effort away. I compared it to the Golite and it was significantly loftier and only an ounce heavier. Even at $170 back in the States, I'm not sure there's anything in the review much better. Not $155 better anyway. The box construction does give the jacket a flat surface that doesn't help the marshmallow look any. I bought one for my rather petite girlfriend as well, and she was a tad underwhelmed by its fashion potential. Her reaction: "Well, I can wear it in America, I guess. Everyone's fat there."

My work took me up to the Methow River, a mere 30 miles from the Twisp area where I inadvertly found myself wandering around looking for Nunatek,[they are not listed in the local phonebook]. A quick trip to the local library and a moment with their computer yielded phone number and address, which caused a driveby forcing my cellphone to dial which led to a physical googling of products whilst chatting up Tom which forced my checkbook to be released from lockdown. A flurry of measurements occured and the wheels of industry were set in motion for a Skaha Plus. There is nothing like a handcrafted product from beautiful intelligent people. When a cold snap hit soon after Tom called telling me he would personally deliver it to me via succesion of bakeries south. I assured him I would never ever wear this for work and didn't have a trip planned so he mailed it to me instead. Of course I haven't taking it off since well except to convince my spouse it was lingerie, big puffy beautiful lingerie... but that is another story I shan't tell here.
