The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Bonneau attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Put Splunk onto system images
This topic explains the concepts of making Splunk a part of every Windows system image or installation process. It also guides you through the general process of integration, regardless of the imaging utilities that you use.
- For more specific information about getting Windows data into Splunk, review "About Windows data and Splunk" in the Getting Data In Manual.
- For information on distributed Splunk deployments, read "Distributed overview" in the Distributed Deployment Manual. This overview is essential reading for understanding how to set up Splunk deployments, irrespective of the operating system that you use. You can also read about Splunk's distributed deployment capabilities there.
- For information about planning larger Splunk deployments, read "Hardware capacity planning for a larger Splunk deployment" in the Installation Manual and "Deploying Splunk on Windows" in this manual.
Concepts for system integration on Windows
The main reason to integrate Splunk into Windows system images is to ensure that Splunk is available immediately when the machine is activated for use in the enterprise. This frees you from having to install and configure Splunk after activation.
In this scenario, when a Windows system is activated, it immediately launches Splunk after booting. Then, depending on the type of Splunk instance installed and the configuration given, Splunk either collects data from the machine and forwards it to an indexer (in many cases), or begins indexing data that is forwarded from other Windows machines.
System administrators can also configure Splunk instances to contact a deployment server, which allows for further configuration and update management.
In many typical environments, universal forwarders on Windows machines send data to a central indexer or group of indexers, which then allow that data to be searched, reported and alerted on, depending on your specific needs.
Considerations for system integration
Integrating Splunk into your Windows system images requires planning.
In most cases, the preferred Splunk component to integrate into a Windows system image is a universal forwarder. The universal forwarder is designed to share resources on computers that perform other roles, and does much of the work that an indexer can, at much less cost. You can also modify the forwarder's configuration using Splunk's deployment server or an enterprise-wide configuration manager with no need to use Splunk Web to make changes.
In some situations, you may want to integrate a full instance of Splunk into a system image. Where and when this is more appropriate depends on your specific needs and resource availability.
Splunk doesn't recommend that you include a full version of Splunk in an image for a server that performs any other type of role, unless you have specific need for the capability that an indexer has over a forwarder. Installing multiple indexers in an enterprise does not give you additional indexing power or speed, and can lead to undesirable results.
Before integrating Splunk into a system image, consider:
- the amount of data you want Splunk to index, and where you want Splunk to send that data, if applicable. This feeds directly into disk space calculations, and should be a top consideration.
- the type of Splunk instance to install on the image or machine. Universal forwarders have a significant advantage when installing on workstations or servers that perform other duties, but might not be appropriate in some cases.
- the available system resources on the imaged machine. How much disk space, RAM and CPU resources are available on each imaged system? Will it support a Splunk install?
- the resource requirements of your network. Splunk needs network resources, whether you're using it to connect to remote machines using WMI to collect data, or you're installing forwarders on each machine and sending that data to an indexer.
- the system requirements of other programs installed on the image. If Splunk is sharing resources with another server, it can take available resources from those other programs. Consider whether or not you should install other programs on a workstation or server that is running a full instance of Splunk. A universal forwarder will work better in cases like this, as it is designed to be lightweight.
- the role that the imaged machine plays in your environment. Will it be a workstation only running productivity applications like Office? Or will it be an operations master domain controller for your Active Directory forest?
Integrate Splunk into a System Image
Once you have determined the answers to the questions in the checklist above, the next step is to integrate Splunk into your system images. The steps listed are generic, allowing you to use your favorite system imaging or configuration tool to complete the task.
Choose one of the following options for system integration:
Deploy Splunk on Windows

Data Analytics Allows P&G to Turn on a DimeBy Peter High
Data Analytics Allows P&G to Turn on a Dime
By Peter High
Filippo Passerini, CIO and Group President of Global Business Services of Procter & Gamble, discusses the approach he and his team have taken to get better, more accurate data analysis into the right executives' hands in a timely fashion. The result is a remarkable track record of innovation.
WHO: Filippo Passerini, CIO and Group President of Global Business Services of Procter & Gamble
WHAT: Sharing his approach to data analytics, brought to life with the better use of big data and collaboration technology
WHERE: Cincinnati, Ohio and 75 countries worldwide
Filippo Passerini has as broad a purview as any CIO in the world. In fact, he is not just the CIO of P&G, but is also the Group President of Global Business Services. In his role as CIO, he understands the power of IT to deliver insights to the organization. In his role as head of Global Business Services, he has taken this a step further, making a multi-national consumer packaged goods behemoth feel a bit smaller. In the past, it was an assumption that good practices on one continent would not be enacted on another continent for months. This thinking reinforces the traditional geographic and product silos of a huge company like P&G. Passerini realized that if he could get the right information as close to real-time as possible, while packaging it in a way that executives around the world could view together, down to having meeting spaces that facilitated such global collaboration, a cultural change could be fostered. What emerged is one of the most impressive examples of leveraging corporate data with business intelligence and analytics.
In this Q&A, Passerini tells CIO Insight contributor Peter High about the steps he took to launch this real-time, data-based revolution in business practices.
CIO Insight: You have developed one of the most sophisticated examples of data analytics in the world. What was the genesis of this? How did you determine that this was necessary?
We are big on anticipating what's coming, and saw that being able to run the business in real-time was going to be essential for growth. So, we have been focused on analytics for a few years now. We want to create an environment where we turn data into knowledge, and knowledge into insights and actions. As the world's largest consumer packaged goods company—with nearly $84 billion in sales, operations in 75 countries, and reaching 4.4 billion consumers—we have a lot of data. The ability to analyze this massive amount of data is critical to running the business in real-time and being responsive to changes in the marketplace.
It is not about what happened last month or last year; it is about being able to move the business from a rear-view to a forward-looking view. To move the business to a forward-looking view, we realized we needed one version of the truth. In the past, decision-makers spent time determining sources of the data or who had the most accurate data. This led to a lot of debate before real decisions could be made. We've elevated their discussions from the "what" to "why" and "how." Meaning, why things are happening and how we can make interventions to change the outcome, if needed. We believe analytics will get us to the "why" as fast as possible.
Data Analytics Allows P&G to Turn on a Dime
We recognized the value in having access to the right data, at the right time, and with actionable insights. We also realized the power of visualizing that real-time data in an immersive environment. I believe in a complex world where there is an incredible amount of information, visualization helps distill what really matters, and the results have proven the value of our investment.
Having this data is a powerful start, but bringing the right people together to make the actual decisions can be tricky in a company as large as P&G. How have you accomplished this?
We refer to this as the "power of and." We need strong analytic models and an immersive environment and a business analysis providing unbiased expertise. We believe the synergy between these three components is, in many ways, a breakthrough, and has led to a quantum leap in value creation.
We created analytical models that help leaders quickly identify opportunities and to determine where proactive interventions may be needed. The visualization of the data in business processes allows leaders to view the data more easily, to process the information faster, and to quickly turn insights into actions.
In order to enhance the experience of viewing the information, we developed what we refer to as Business Spheres, a truly immersive environment that physically surrounds business leaders with models. We also integrated video-conferencing capabilities to eliminate the need for travel and enable face-to-face interactions.
An important role that we have woven into this process is the business analyst, who is an unbiased expert who facilitates the discussion and helps to guide the business team's focus. They have the responsibility of bringing context to the data and identifying opportunities that the business should be addressing. The business analyst also helps the businesses connect the dots and reapply lessons learned across categories, regions and business units.
What is different here is that all of this data is coming into the context of the business discussion. It is not fragmented by geography or management level. Also, importantly, it is coming in real-time to help us make better, faster decisions. It has been pretty transformational to the way we do business.
To be perfectly candid, culture change is never easy. There are some people who were used to seeing information displayed a certain way, and by digitizing our data and having it available in such a powerful way, it was different. Another initial challenge was the availability of the same information to everyone at the same time—or "information democracy." But it did not take long for leaders to understand the value of the Business Sphere and adopt to the new technology and to different ways of doing business.
Can you provide some examples of the kind of data that is assembled?
It is important to recognize that data only has worth when organizations can use it to take meaningful action that creates value. It's not about the data. It's about how we're able to use the data to create value by being more innovative and more productive every single day.
Data Analytics Allows P&G to Turn on a Dime
We have a base set of analytical models that allow us to do a deep-dive on different aspects of the business. For example, one model is focused on our 40 largest and most profitable product categories in the most important geographic markets. These top 40 businesses represent about 50 percent of sales and nearly 70 percent of our operating profit, so you can see why it is an important model. Another example is our model that focuses on identifying ways we can make our supply chain more efficient.
One of the ways in which IT helps simulate the in-store experience is by creating virtual stores to see the products on the shelf. What was the genesis of this approach? What are the benefits of it?
Innovation is the lifeblood of P&G. It is the primary way we drive growth, prevent commoditization of categories, reduce cost and deliver consumer value. So we are constantly partnering with our cross-functional colleagues, in this case R&D and Design, to improve our innovation capabilities.
We try our best to anticipate what is coming, to detect new trends and to devise the right strategies to address those trends before they impact our business. So a few years ago, we saw a trend that was having a major impact on the world: speed of product innovation to market. This was across many industries: automotive, consumer electronics, fashion and also, frankly, our Consumer Packaged Goods industry. You may recall, as an example, that car manufacturers used to produce a new model every five or six years. Now it is every 12 months. Because of this dramatic speed of product innovation to market across all sectors, we decided that we needed to reinvent some of the ways we do work.
In the past, packaging design was costly and time consuming. We would create physical mockups for our consumer testing. Design and production of these prototypes could take from six to 12 weeks. It was difficult to efficiently reflect changing consumer preferences and needs using traditional, physical research methods.
Today, using virtual technology, designs are created much faster and at a fraction of the cost. Consumers respond to a virtual mockup of our new packaging. We have virtual stores and virtual shelves, which we can literally build in hours and days instead of weeks and months. Consumer insights are integrated more efficiently throughout the process, enabling our brands to deliver a product and shopping experience that delights.
This has been revolutionary, saving us millions of dollars and dramatically accelerating the time it takes to launch a new product in market. Virtual solutions are now used on more than 80 percent of our initiatives, enabling our brands to reach consumers faster, more efficiently, and with a product that exceeds her expectations.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum is a combination of pot-stilled and column-stilled Barbadian rums that are initially aged in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks for 12-20 years. They are then transported to France for a second 12-18 months aging in small French oak casks.
The first bottle of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary was created for the head of Cognac Ferrand Estate Alexandre Gabriel to honor his 20th year running the company. This special gift has resulted in the bottling we see today.
Sort by: Popularity | Date | Rating
Probablement le meilleur rhum qui existe. Son goût de coco ne laisse pas indifférent mais il peut déplaire aux amateurs de rhum plus fumé
Golden brown goodness in a sexy bottle! Out of the numerous rums I've been able to sample, Plantation XO is holding strong as one of my favorites. Sweet and clean with a touch of coconut flavor. That subtle taste is comparable to coconut water. Drinking it neat is the way to go. The afterburn lingers a touch but is pleasant. After drinking PXO, you can see how complexity in flavor makes certain rums shine when compared to others. A bottle will set you back around $40 USD (01/2016). If you only have $35 to your name, borrow $5 from somebody and go get some.
A first sniff gives away some vanilla and cask aromas.
Very ballanced and pleasent nose.
Actually this is one of the least sweet in my cabinet, but it does have some sweetness.
The taste buds is meet with the initial sweetness followed with some vanilla and a bit of cask notes.
The warmth hits relatively hard but not unpleasant.
This is a well ballanced rum that you should try yourself.
BTW. I had to use a wine glass because im on Tenerife and it was the closest to a proper glas I could get :-)
Bought this on recommendation of Mario from the United States who is a member on here.
Very smooth sipper with no throat burn. Very long lasting after taste.
Gave it a 9 only cause it's just not as great as El Dorado 21 or Diplomatico 2000 Single Vintage.
It is so easy to write about a product with exceptional value.
It is smooth, it has character and it is an explosion of themes. Most prominent vanilla, leather, caramel, coconut and cocoa. It stays and seems to change the theme every once in a while. It is just mesmerizing ....
To make a perfect product even better - ther is the bottle. It is extremely heavy, has a nice straw-binding and a beautiful wooden cap. Just by looking at the bottle you see the difference between high quality and the results even more expensive products can not reach.
So all in all THE perfect combination of taste, quality, and price.
There might be products out there with triple digits price tags, which might match or even surpass the taste of this splendid rum. But I don´t think there is anything out there that can touch this price-quality ratio.
I just got the hat trick for today. I purchased three different bottles of rum and all three drew 9's in my book. One of which I declared to be, at that time, to be my first and only sipping rum (Vizcaya VXOP). I mentioned I reserved the right to change my mind and add to the list. Well, this one is my SECOND sipping rum. As with the Vizcaya VXOP it would be a crime to use this in Coke Zero (which is my custom) or in mixed drinks. Almost everything about this rum is absolute awesomeness (apologies to Po, the Dragon Warrior). The aroma is quite delightful. Definitely an oak odor. Nice! The flavor is equally as good. Not overly sweet but a nice balance. I seemed to detect some orange and vanilla and some caramel to it. Good strong but not overpowering burn which fades quickly. The bottle oozes coolness, too. Nice simulated gold leaf lettering and design with a label on the bottom third of the bottle reminding me of engravings on old stocks and bonds. The bottle cap appears to be wood with an embossed metal disc embedded in the top. With all that said, why a cheap imitation cork? They couldn't have used a good quality real cork? Okay...a minor, minor quibble.
Again, this is another rum that is so close to a perfect 10. Definitely one to have in your cabinet.
Rum Plantation 20th Anniversary Extra Old comes in a very nice bottle. The rum is delivered in a simple carton (picture).
In the glass you first smell some sticky alcohol but after a while you sense vanilla and caramel. This rum needs to rest in the glass for a few minutes.
In the mouth you get a sweet taste of caramel, vanilla and spices. A little hint of cask is there too.
The aftertaste is long with som sweetness and spices. This is a nice sipper to a decent price.
Bottle: I like its shape and with the engraving it is just beautiful 1/1
Colour: Dark amber
Aroma: Very rich. A lot of vanilla and chocolate with coconut and little bit fruity. 2/2
Taste: It is not very sweet, just like dark chocolate should be. Chocolate flavour is the most distinguishable there, with some nuts and hints of oak . If I take into account aroma, taste and aftertaste it is really complex rum and just plain perfection. 5/5
Aftertaste: Smooth, sweet and little bit woody. There is not anything bad in it. 2/2
Generally it is the best of the best for me, I have not ever tasted something bettter and I always have bottle of this one in my cabinet, or rather two.
Not an accurate representation of Bajan Rum. Sugared nonsense
This is my favourite rum so far.
Not too strong on the nose, really smooth to sip. Sweet but not too much, really well balanced.
A vanilla aroma, a bit of coco, the fruit. I love it.
And mainly, this is not an extra-expensive rum. For me the best value for money I've seen until now.
I tried this rum the other day and was blown away. When I first took a sip it was like silk in your mouth. Very smooth. This rum isn't as sweet as Ron zacapa 23 solero but sweeter than Flor de Caña 18. This is my new favourite rum as I continue my quest for the perfect rum at a decent price. This rum is beautiful, buy some you won't be disappointed.
I love Plantation Rums. And this one is by far the best one. It's smooth and sweet and it's so tasty. I could have one right now. I tried more expensive Rums, but they weren't as good as the XO.
I waited a few months before testing it. I come from the world of cognac and my journey into the world of rum was to pass by Plantation.This XO 20th is for me the best rum I tasted yet. Very gentle with aromas of vanilla , coconut , caramel. Elegant with a beautiful maturity. This is an excellent assembly work . A long finish . Need to have it in your bar.
I own many of the rums rated here with a score of 8 or 9. This is the one that I hoard. My other top choices are Brugal 1888, El Dorado 15 and Zaya. I'm not sure why this bottle only sells for $40 in Miami. Very smooth, Sweet and delicious for alcohol. Get it while you can
Best drink I have ever drunk. Also It has the softest taste of rum I have experienced. Very balanced taste of sweetness (fruits, caramel) and typical rum taste of wood and sugar. Not sharp at all. It has very nice and smooth coconut finish.
I recommend this rum to all rum gurus.
The one rhum to rule them all. Well balanced, sweet, fruity makes you feel like you are at a palm beach in the tropics. A bit smokey feel, a stinging sensation that doesnt overdo it, but leaves you longing for the next sip.
N- Dark side of sugar, dried fruits coated with caramel and dark chocolate, intensely sweet, custard, coconut candy with raisin. Yes, the layer of cognac fragrant is there before swamp by the arising sugar syrup. (17/25)
P- Thin scent of cognac, cooked exotic fruit caramel, dulce de leche, jackfruits jelly. Syrupy. Cloyingly sweet on 2nd sips. A dessert on its own. (16/25)
F- Short, sweet dominates, sticky, some chocolate and vanilla with spirit-y heats. (16/25)
Balanced- Abundance of sugar for those with sweet tooth, probably not for someone with diabetes dietary. Beautiful packaging indeed. (16/25)
Weighted Rate:- 65pt
Whoa, very nice aroma of something tropical, fudge and soft toffee. Thick and super soft mouthfeel. Very nice indeed!
The best untill now, a very fine rum with a unique simple flavour.
Plantation XO is a very sweet and silky rum. It feels almost like a smooth liqueur.
It has some really amazing notes you won't necessesarily find in the world of rum. Especially the smooth taste of coconuts is very unique to this Plantation as it is not a spiced rum. This is accompanied by lots of tropic fruits and pure Caribean feeling to take a few minutes off.
It is an ideal sipping rum for those who want to add some variety to their cabinet and to surprise your guests and other rum enthusiastics.
Starting my "serious" rum exploration (don't ask about the previous ones) I relied on this site, your comments and ratings to select my first high rated bottle...
...Honestly ? What am I going to try next ?
Really out of words. Could be the sipper of sippers. Dangerously Suave !
OK calm down! Let say the bases were not loaded, maybe there's still room for a grand slam...but what do you suggest?
Thank you.
Deep caramel color, with the 20 predominately displayed.. not a 20 year old rum. The taste was very enjoyable however a little syrupy for my liking.
Plantation 20th Anniversary est un assemblage de plusieurs rums des Barbades, vieillis et sélectionnés par Alexandre Gabriel pour célébrer ses 20 ans passés à la tête de la société Pierre Ferrand. Affiné dans des petits fûts de Cognac au Château de Bonbonnet, ce rhum particulièrement épicé se révèle en bouche d'une gourmandise à laquelle il est difficile de résister.
Profil : fin, précis. Crémeux et vanillé. Empyreumatique (cèdre, bois brûlé). Epices fortes (graine de moutarde, muscade). Capiteux. Poudre de cacao et noix fraîche. Vétiver.
Maybe just too strong on the nose, but well balanced with the taste! One of the best Ive ever had. Also the bottle is fantastic. Very good choice!
This is a slightly flavored rum, as it has hints of coconut and vanilla. But the main flavor is the aged rum, and the hints of added flavor complement the aged rum perfectly, without overpowering it. It tastes wonderful. A good rum value; at only $64.99 from BevMo! (2015), it's better than a great number of more expensive rums I've tried. One of the best rums I've had, period!

HISD official, principal arrested on drug charges
A high-ranking HISD administrator and the principal of Wheatley High School have been charged in Alabama with felony drug possession and, two months later, are no longer employed by the school district.
Dana Bost, HISD's chief of high schools, and her fiance, Principal Ronald Rodriguez, were arrested Oct. 18, accused of having marijuana and cocaine in their rental car while driving in Mobile County, court records show.
The Houston Independent School District sent a message to administrators Monday announcing that Bost and Rodriguez had left HISD. The memo did not mention the criminal charges.
Superintendent Terry Grier said Bost told him Oct. 23 that she and Rodriguez planned to resign the next week to care for aging relatives in Virginia. But Grier said they agreed to stay on the job so they wouldn't interrupt the first semester.
Grier said Bost did not mention the recent arrests, and he was shocked when he learned about the incident Friday.
"Their rationale for leaving just didn't add up at that time," Grier said, noting that they were award-winning educators he had just hired in July.
Grier said he could not comment further because the issue was a personnel matter.
Bost, 49, and Rodriguez 53, were no longer HISD employees as of Saturday, according to spokeswoman Tiffany Davila-Dunne. She said she could not confirm whether the employees resigned or were fired.
Several HISD administrators have had run-ins with law enforcement recently.
The Sharpstown High School principal and two assistant principals were criminally charged in late November, accused of failing to report child abuse allegedly involving students and a teacher.
The principal of Shadydale Elementary was charged with theft, accused of shoplifting Christmas ornaments last week.
Bost and Rodriguez could not be reached for comment.
According to Alabama court records, Bost and Rodriguez were pulled over for speeding, and police became suspicious. During a search of the rental car, police found a purse that contained five marijuana cigarettes and a bag with white power later determined to be cocaine, according to records.
Police also found a cooler containing larger amounts of marijuana, the records say.
Bost was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and felony possession of marijuana, confirmed Lori Myles, spokeswoman for the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. Rodriguez was charged with misdemeanor and felony possession of marijuana, Myles said.
Bost and Rodriguez appeared in court Monday for a preliminary hearing, where it was determined that there was enough evidence for the case to proceed, according to the Mobile County District Attorney's Office.
Bost's annual salary this year was $171,245, according to HISD records. Rodriguez's salary was $112,500.
Bost was Grier's fourth high school chief since 2010. Grier initially hired Bost as the assistant superintendent of college and career readiness. But he soon moved her into the high school role and switched Orlando Riddick into her previous job.
HISD's chief school support officer, Andrew Houlihan, said in a message to administrators Monday that the district had started a national search for a new high school chief. For now, he said, the district's middle school chief, Michael Cardona, would be in charge.
Wheatley High will be led temporarily by another HISD administrator, Richard Barajas.

Scarlett Johansson and her The Avengers co-stars all set up meetings with dermatologists when the summer blockbuster wrapped - because they all had rashes and skin problems from their tight-fitting costumes.
The actress reveals none of the cast were thrilled with their superhero outfits - because they were designed to dazzle onscreen and not for comfort.
And she admits her Black Widow latex catsuit was "a bit of a challenge".
She tells Usa Today, "The material is like a torture chamber. I literally had to peel it off.
"We all had skin conditions going with our outfits after 15 hours of non-stop sweat. I was sending pictures to my dermatologist in Los Angeles."

|1967. Thomas K. Mark
Here is a Christmas Memory from my grand aunt, Viola Cathern (Mark) Nothstein, 1913 – 2004, daughter of Thomas K. & N. Regina (Gruissy) Mark. She talked about Christmas in Ohio when she was a girl, one of seven children.
Viola said her father, Thomas Kenneth Mark, 1879 - 1975, dressed up as Santa Claus for the program at church. He wore a red costume from the church. Viola said, "I remember one year when we were pretty small Owen got up in church and said, 'That's my Daddy!' Another time Dad had a turkey for the church. After the program Daddy come over to home and he had the red suit on and he'd said. 'Now you guys better be in bed before I get back.' He always done a lot around the church. If they wanted anything fixed they would always ask Dad."

Types of Kitchen Backsplashes:
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles
This get-started guide to kitchen backsplash styles, from NC custom home builder Stanton Homes, helps you incorporate designer touches that make your custom home unique without a lot of extra expense. Your kitchen counter backsplash style choices are a great way to reflect personality - and make a statement about the environment you'd like to live in. Some of the most popular types of kitchen backsplashes include 4"x4" ceramic tile, subway tile, glass tile, mini mosaic tile, and granite. Here's why the mix you choose matters:
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles: 4"x4" ceramic tile backsplash
Ceramic is the most popular type of material used for kitchen tile backsplashes.
In addition to the 4"x4" ceramic tile backsplash, a mini mosaic is often used as an inexpensive border and dividing line between striaght and diagonal tile lays.
In this photo, the metallic mini mosaic accents adds sparkle and pulls together wood cabinetry and black granite counter tops.
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles: Subway tile backsplash
Subway tiles generally come in a 3"x6" pattern.
The tile backsplash pictured here incorporates two different colors of subway tiles, installed with a bricklay pattern. The exposed edges are finished with bullnose pieces.
The decorative inset over the cooktop uses the same tiles in a contrasting color, set on the diagonal in a herringbone pattern, surrounded by a pencil width listello accent.
Click here for photos of white subway tile backsplahes.
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles: Glass tile backsplash
The materials you choose for your kitchen backsplash can change the entire tone of the room.
While ceramic tile suites many kitchen styles, glass tile backsplashes can be the a perfect addition to contemporary or modern style new homes.
See a photo gallery of the home pictured here.
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles: Mini mosaic tile backsplash
Mini-mosaics can provide artistic touches all over the kitchen, or add a simple colorful "pop" that brightens the mood.
Mini mosaics are often found in focal points such as a centerpiece above the range.
Or serve as accent stripes throughout the kitchen (see an example of a mini mosaic stripe in a version of the Dugan).
How much do tile backsplashes cost?
One of the best things about building a custom home is the vast array of choices in your price point. The cost depends on the materials you choose as well as thecomplexity of the pattern. Your designer will tell you more about your options - tile backsplashes are one of the best ways to create a unique environment without much additional cost.
Guide to Kitchen Backsplash Styles: Granite backsplash
Want to keep the solid momentum of your granite theme? Ask your builder to carry it upward, with a granite backsplash.
Click here to learn more about adding granite to a 2013 kitchen.
What's Included in my new Custom Home?
Before you sign a contract, find out what will be included in the home you purchase - it may be very different than what's visible in the loaded model.
Ask questions about materials, craftsmanship and detail work, and be sure your custom home estimate includes your personalized, very specific set of specifications. Talk to the builder, and see if he's approachable, knowledgeable and intuitive - and ask him about details such as coordinating your kitchen backsplash into your overall design.
A full height tile backsplash can be very artistic - and if you start out with tile you can change or add extra height later. Keep in mind that if you opt for an integrated Corian or laminate backsplash upfront, adding tile later won't be a seamless process.
Each of the kitchen backsplashes pictured is an artistic creation of Stanton Homes, designed and handcrafted in real homes for real people. Our design team works closely with you from conception to completion, with expertise that helps you to create unique backsplashes for your kitchen and bathrooms along with every other detail in your custom home.

CENTENNIAL, Colo., Aug 9 (Reuters) - Accused Colorado gunman James Holmes, charged with murder over a shooting rampage last month at a movie theater in a Denver suburb, has a "mental illness" and tried to get help before the shooting, his defense attorney said in court on Thursday.
Holmes' public defender, in a hearing on media access to court files in the case, repeatedly made references to his client's unspecified mental illness, giving the first clear sign that Holmes' lawyers might be considering an insanity defense.
"He tried to get help with his mental illness," said of his client, a 24-year-old former neuroscience graduate student at the University of Colorado who faces 12 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder.
Holmes is accused of bursting into a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in the Denver suburb of Aurora and opening fire in the crowded theater, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others.
Holmes, who seemed to have not shaved for days, appeared in court on Thursday wearing maroon prison garb and shackled at his hands and ankles, with his dyed hair fading to pink in some places from its original reddish-orange.
He seemed alert but disinterested in his third appearance in a Colorado courtroom since the July 20 mass shooting. He mostly stared straight ahead and did not talk to his lawyers.
"Mental illness is the only possible defense available in this case. It is hardly a whodunit," Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver who now practices law privately, told Reuters.
"By saying it repeatedly in open court, Holmes' lawyers provide the sound bite that will be the basis of the defense," he said. "It wasn't just for the court to hear but it was for the people in the courtroom and for people in the press to report."
Court papers filed by defense attorneys two weeks ago said Holmes had been a patient of the medical director for student mental health services on campus before he filed paperwork to drop out of the competitive graduate program.
That psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, reported Holmes to a campus threat assessment team and a campus police officer over concerns about her patient, according to media reports.
Lawyers for Fenton and the campus police officer declined to comment to Reuters on those reports. The university has also declined to comment on the reports but said it had hired a former federal prosecutor to probe its dealings with Holmes.
As in many states, mental health care providers in Colorado must warn authorities of potential violent behavior only when a patient has communicated a serious threat of imminent physical violence against a specific target.
Judge William Sylvester said he would consider a request by 20 media organizations to unseal and make public documents detailing the murder case against Holmes, and would issue a written ruling later.
Lawyers representing news organizations sought the release of the papers in a written motion that said sealing them "undermines our nation's firm commitment to the transparency and public accountability of the criminal justice system."
In the motion, lawyers for the media outlets, including The New York Times Co., The Associated Press, The Denver Post, and CBS News, argued that the U.S. Constitution and state case law requires a presumption of openness. Thomson Reuters is not a party to the motion.
In most court cases, documents are available to the public.
Both prosecutors and defense lawyers objected, saying that it was too early to open the file because the investigation was still ongoing.
"The harm, judge, is very real with the release of the file at this point," defense attorney King said.
Media lawyer Steven Zansberg argued that the decision to close the bulk of the file made it difficult for the public to understand what happened during the shooting, and why.
The media has recently been successful in getting some documents unsealed in the case of Jared Loughner, who was charged last year in a deadly shooting spree that killed six people and gravely wounded Representative Gabrielle Giffords.
As the Holmes case gets further along, there may be other parties who express concerns over what is sealed. Attorneys representing families of the victims may insist that certain photographs from the crime scene not be released, for example.
Holmes is being held without bond and in solitary confinement at the Arapahoe County jail. (Additional reporting by Dan Whitcomb; Writing by Mary Slosson; Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Anthony Boadle)

NEWARK, NJ, September 19, 2003 – NJ TRANSIT is operating regular weekday rail, bus and light rail service this morning. However, with high winds and rain continuing throughout the state, the Corporation will monitor its systems and make adjustments if necessary.
The statewide transportation Corporation continues to cross honor with the following regional transportation agencies:
� PATH service boarding at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken Terminal and 33rd Street in New York.
� NY Waterway and Sea Streak ferry service.
� Private carrier bus lines including Academy, Coach USA, DeCamp, Lakeland, Rockland Coach and Short Line.
Transit encourages people to listen to news reports before leaving their homes or log onto www.njtransit.com for real-time service information. Update announcements will also be provided at stations.
To assist its customers, the Corporation extended the hours of its customer information center where Northern New Jersey riders can get details about schedules by calling in New Jersey 1-800-772-2222 or out-of-state at 973-762-5100 until 1 a.m. Saturday. In South Jersey, customers can call 1-800-582-5946 or at 215-569-3752 from Pennsylvania until 12 midnight. For persons with hearing impairments, the number is 1-800-772-2287.
Since Monday, NJ TRANSIT has been meeting to develop contingency plans for both bus and rail operations, and working in coordination with other transportation providers to prepare for possible service impacts caused by local flooding or high wind conditions.
Auxiliary equipment, including backup generators, pumps, and chainsaws are ready and in place. Crews continue to inspect culverts along the railroad right of way to ensure they are clear of debris to prevent flooding. Overhead wires and signal systems are also continuously being inspected to ensure their reliability.
In addition, Customer Service response teams were deployed early this morning to major boarding locations, and management staff is on standby to go to locations as needed.
NJ TRANSIT is the nation's largest statewide public transportation system providing more than 752,600 daily trips on 240 bus routes, two light rail lines and 11 commuter rail lines. It is the third largest transit system in the country with 162 rail stations, 28 light rail stations and more than 17,000 bus stops linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.

Vocativ put together this visual analysis of the relationship between the top 50 movies of 2013 that passed and failed the Bechdel Test, and how they did at the box office.
Now, of course merely passing the Bechdel Test doesn't necessarily have any implications for whether or not a movie is fun or enjoyable - and neither does failing it. You'll notice that Pacific Rim failed the Bechdel Test, and yet I would hazard a guess that most of the ODeck thought that was a fucking fantastic movie! I would argue that some of the films that passed the Bechdel Test in a "dubious" way are less dubious examples than the creators of the infographic might think, but sometimes that's a matter of interpretation, and sometimes of degree.
But it is sobering to think, when considering this interesting correlation, that something as simple as having two female characters have a conversation with each other about something other than a male character seems to be so hard to achieve, even for movies that are really great.
Think about it. Frozen passed the Bechdel Test with flying colors almost from the first line:
"Do you wanna build a snowman?"
The solution to passing the Bechdel Test, of course, and hopefully to more good movies, is to add more female characters. Bonus points if they're well-rounded, with their own stories and internal motivations.

Ocean Sunfish "mambo fish" being loaded for delivery to the market. The meat of the sunfish is a delicacy in East Asia, with Taiwan and Japan being the two largest markets. Up to 95% of the fish can be used for either food or traditional medicine. In Taiwan, the fish is most readily caught of the coast of Hualien due to geographic features of the seabed and the workings of the Kuroshio current. In 2002, the Hualien county government decided to officially promote the fish and after a public vote, the name "mambo fish" was chosen. Oceanic sunfish is banned in the European Union (EU)..Read more: http://www.craigfergusonimages.com/2009/02/taiwan-delicacies-mambo-fish/#ixzz0a0OzvpNZAdd to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Teradata Corporation recently introduced the Teradata Customer Experience Management solution that shows communications service providers their subscribers perspective of their service. It is the latest addition to the Teradata Telco Analytics with Ventraq suite of applications.
"As people move away from land lines and adopt their wireless device for more uses, reliability becomes critical to them and that all aspects of the network perform flawlessly," said David Grant, vice president of industry marketing and solutions, Teradata Corporation. "Customer satisfaction is largely based on the quality of service, frequency of dropped calls, Internet access time and handset performance. Before now, carriers have not had analytical tools to pinpoint issues that can cause customers to be dissatisfied and potentially, to leave."
Teradata Customer Experience Management quantitatively measures a subscribers entire experience voice, text, Internet and email transactions with the operators products, services, applications, and network. This information can be used to identify the root cause of network, application and handset problems and trace them to affected subscribers. It can also reduce support costs by preempting potential dissatisfaction and prioritize corrective actions based on customer profitability. "A one percent increase in customer loyalty can add as much as $10 million to the bottom line of a mid-sized company," said Grant.
Teradata Customer Experience Management also provides communications service providers visibility into the profitability of their customers and the services they use. With this information, they can better match new product and service offers to customers, and identify their most valuable customers.
Said Bob Becklund, executive vice president of business development for Ventraq, "The Ventraq Customer Experience Management solution running on a Teradata platform allows the carrier to directly understand, adjust and enhance the customer experience for voice, data, and their mobile Internet to create an optimal and positive experience. With the proliferation of SmartPhones, the increase and availability of mobile applications, the customer experience is more critical than ever. Now telecommunications companies can monitor and react to situations that impact customers faster and with greater precision."
The Ventraq-designed solution leverages the power of Teradata to scale seamlessly from local or regional operations to national and multi-national levels. Driven by the high-performance speed and capacity of the massively parallel processing Teradata database, the core of the Ventraq analytic suite of solutions is the advanced Ventraq platform, Business Integration Appliance Services. It collects and manages billions of operations support system and business support system data records and compares and analyzes them on a record-for-record basis on demand. As a result, communication service providers can make business decisions based on a complete set of data rather than on trend or directional inference.

Those who travel by air – plus anyone who would like to be able to fly by getting free or discounted airfares by using their credit cards – are perfect candidates for airline credit cards. These are essentially awards or reward credit cards that let the cardholder rack up airline miles, points, or similar value which can then be converted into a free ticket to fly to a favorite destination.
The best airline credit cards will often provide special features and amenities in addition to the free miles that are especially tailored to the needs and preferences of air travelers. Other travel rewards include free tickets for a fellow passenger, preferential rates on hotels and rental cars, double rewards points for dining, entertaining, and coupons that provide access to airline VIP lounges inside airports.
Most airline credit cards have interest rates comparable to other credit cards, but many charge an annual fee that might range anywhere from $49-$125. You should examine the pros and cons of each card, comparing their benefits and features against their fees to calculate which one is the best fit and offers the most flexibility at the best price. Be sure to keep in mind that while some of these cards let you transfer your points or accumulated rewards to any airline, others restrict you to one or two specific air carriers. Your free miles might have a "catch" to them. Choose a flexible card that lets you apply your awards to any air carrier or one that will help you earn airline miles and perks on the flight that you use most of the time for personal travel or for business rewards.

It's best to talk about long term care early — before the need for medical or personal care is imminent. Here's help understanding, choosing and financing long term care.
Long-term care is a term used to describe home and community-based services for adults who need help taking care of themselves.
If you're considering long-term care options for yourself, a parent or another loved one, start the research and discussions early. If you wait, an injury or illness might force your hand — leading to a hasty decision that might not be best in the long run.
Here's help getting familiar with long-term care options.
Understanding the various levels of long-term care can help you choose the type that's most appropriate for you or your loved one. For example:
Selecting a long-term care facility can be overwhelming. Ask these questions to ease the process:
What are your personal preferences? Would you or your loved one prefer a smaller facility or certain living arrangements, such as a single room? Would you rather eat your meals in a cafeteria setting or in your own room? What amenities are most important?
Also consider the rules. Can residents choose when to get up and go to bed? When are visitors allowed, and what social activities are offered? Can residents continue to see their personal doctors?
How does the facility compare with others? What have you heard about the facility? Contact your local Better Business Bureau to check whether any complaints have been filed against the facility, and use tools such as Nursing Home Compare on the Medicare website.
Ask a long-term care ombudsman — an official who investigates complaints against long-term care facilities — about the strengths and weaknesses of specific facilities. To find a local ombudsman, use the Eldercare Locator, an online service of the U.S. Administration on Aging.
Also, get opinions from friends and family who have experience with nursing homes. Ask your doctor for a recommendation and if he or she sees patients in any nursing homes. Social workers, hospital discharge planners and local agencies on aging might provide suggestions as well.
Long-term care can be expensive — and, typically, it's an out-of-pocket expense.
Medicare, a federal program for people older than 65 and those who have certain disabilities, doesn't generally pay for long-term care. Medicaid, a joint state-federal program designed for people who meet certain income requirements, might be an option for adults who have limited assets or those who've nearly depleted their assets. However, who's eligible for Medicaid and which services are covered varies by state.
If you don't expect personal savings to cover the cost of long-term care, you might be able to finance long-term care through long-term care insurance. In exchange for monthly premiums, long-term care insurance covers nursing home care or other long-term care services.
Premiums generally increase with the person's age, and coverage benefits vary significantly. If you're considering long-term care insurance, make sure the policy covers any pre-existing conditions as well as conditions that could develop later, such as dementia. Also check whether you can reduce coverage if the premiums become too expensive.
Other options might include a reverse mortgage — in which you convert part of the equity in your home into cash — or the sale of a life insurance policy for the present value of the policy (life settlement).
Be wary of risks and fees, however. Discuss the options with a lawyer or accountant. You might also contact a social worker or the local agency on aging.
If you're researching long-term care options for a parent or other loved one, include your loved one in the process as much as possible. Consider these tips:
The idea of leaving home or receiving in-home help for everyday activities can be distressing. The more you know about the options, the better choices you can make.

Mark Jarman's poetry has always had a strong religious influence, partly a consequence of growing up the son of a preacher, for his work wrestles with larger questions of belief and illumination. I'm thinking especially of his books Unholy Sonnets and Questions for Ecclesiastes, which mine the fertile territory of devotional poetry without parroting any particular faith. The overwhelming feeling one finds in those books is a reverential view of our all too frail human existence, where the question posed is not whether God exists, but why has so much of our humanity been shaped by a religious impulse to seek some higher power in the first place?
I believe Jarman answers this question in a thoughtful essay "Poetry and Religion" from his book The Secret of Poetry when he says: "the religious impulse in poetry endures; many poems being written today show that urge to be tied to or united with or at one with a supernatural power that exists before, after, and throughout creation" (13).
If you look past that word religious, Jarman is simply saying the impulse toward the sublime or the transformative or the transcendent – whatever you wish to call that sudden release from the ego – manifests in many different guises as it does in one of his earlier poems "Black Riviera": a stirringly beautiful narrative poem ostensibly about a teenage Jarman and his friends buying hallucinogens from a street-level drug dealer in a slick black car, but the poem marks the site of a powerful spiritual awakening too.
Black Riviera
for Garrett Hongo
There they are again. It's after dark.
The rain begins its sober comedy,
Slicking down their hair as they wait
Under a pepper tree or eucalyptus,
Larry Dietz, Luis Gonzalez, the Fitzgerald brothers,
And Jarman, hidden from the cop car
Sleeking innocently past. Stoned,
They giggle a little, with money ready
To pay for more, waiting in the rain.
They buy from the black Riviera
That silently appears, as if risen,
The apotheosis of wet asphalt
And smeary-silvery glare
And plush inner untouchability.
A hand takes money and withdraws,
Another extends a sack of plastic—
Short, too dramatic to be questioned.
What they buy is light rolled in a wave.
They send the money off in a long car
A god himself could steal a girl in,
Clothing its metal sheen in the spectrum
Of bars and discos and restaurants.
And they are left, dripping rain
Under their melancholy tree, and see time
Knocked akilter, sort of funny,
But slowing down strangely, too.
So, what do they dream?
They might dream that they are in love
And wake to find they are,
That outside their own pumping arteries,
Which they can cargo with happiness
As they sink in their little bathyspheres,
Somebody else's body pressures theirs
With kisses, like bursts of bloody oxygen,
Until, stunned, they're dragged up,
Drawn from drowning, saved.
In fact, some of us woke up that way.
It has to do with how desire takes shape.
Tapered, encapsulated, engineered
To navigate an illusion of deep water,
Its beauty has the dark roots
Of a girl skipping down a high-school corridor
Selling Seconal from a bag,
Or a black car gliding close to the roadtop,
So insular, so quiet, it enters the earth.
The poem begins with the rain's "sober comedy" and a small knot of teenagers, the young Jarman among them, waiting anxiously to buy "light rolled in a wave" from "a long car / A god himself could steal a girl in." The black Riviera itself is a mystery cloaked in "smeary-silvery glare and plush inner untouchability", whose enigmatic qualities make it an appropriate substitute for God.
In the second stanza, the car appears silently out of nowhere to bestow a fleeting sense of grace – a plastic sack of drugs in lieu of holy communion – upon these young men, but the ritual is more than enough to enlarge how they see the world.
This is where the poem reveals itself to be a secular non-Christian parable but one profoundly concerned with spiritual yearning. The poem moves deeper into this metaphysical realm as the young men take the drugs which allow them to see "time / Knocked akilter" or when dreaming of love inside the "little bathyspheres" of their bodies, to imagine :
Somebody else's body pressures theirs
With kisses, like bursts of bloody oxygen,
Until, stunned, they're dragged up,
Drawn from drowning, saved.
In fact some of us woke up that way.
These last two lines are interesting because of the double entendre hinging on that word saved which clearly implies a spiritual experience and extraordinary change, but the young men are saved from what exactly? The quotidian? Mere boredom? Self-centeredness? More drug-use?
I think what I like most about this poem is Jarman does not explain what that salvation looks like and lets readers come to their own understanding. What is clear, however, is the boys are now left with a vision of a transcendent reality, one which questions their finite selves and view of a temporal world. This is the great beauty of this poem: it is charged with religious feeling while remaining profane. If you enjoyed "Black Riviera", please seek out Mark Jarman's latest collection Epistles published by Sarabande books at your local bookstore.

I have several DD bells. Each time I order one, I wonder if the quality will be different. However, each time, the bell is true to DD's well earned reputation for quality. I wanted one light bell for light fill-in work. This is an excellent weight for slow concentration curls, no-load technique work, etc. My girlfriend uses it for swings. The bell is perfectly coated, and flawless. Thank you DD for yet another great product. I am very picky about where I shop, and I never make impulse acquisitions. I research everything. Time after time, I return to DD for bells and books. Buy quality. As Thomas Jefferson said: Never buy what you don't want just because it is cheap.
Thanks again for another quality product. The 12k can be too much for some of our more athletic beginners. The 18# is too small. This is perfect.
I ordered a pair of the 10kg's for my wife and once again found them to be of the same consistent and high quality of the other 7 RKC Dragon Door kettlebells purchased in the past. With each kettlebell purchase I have been tempted to buy a less expensive brand, but once again I am glad I went with the best!
As a Dragon Door Affiliate for 10 years, I have expereince with various size kettlebells, and can say with absolute certainty that the Dragon Door kettelbells are the most consistently manufactured, most solid, mot durable, most functional bells on the market! They are solid 1-piece cast iron...it just doesn't get better than that. They're likely the most durable products ever made, and the handles are designed to provide maximum comfort and range of motion. Obviously, I give the Dragon Door kettlebells the highest possible rating, as anyone would, once they use them!
I recently ordered a set of 2 10 kg (22 lb) kettlebells to join my "family" of kettlebells ( pairs of 4, 6, 8, and 12 kg ). They are a wonderful addition.I had some confusion on the email sent about my order and emailed an inquiry to Dragon Door. I received a prompt phone reply, a courteous explanation, and my bells arrived 2 days later right on schedule. Great service!DRAGON DOOR ROCKS!
Although I've been very satisfied with every DD kb in my set I've bought over the years, the textures on them have slightly wavered over the years. Some have smooth thick coatings, others varying degrees of matt. My only complaint is that they don't match each other, but they're still outstanding. This little guy adding to my set really shows DD perfected the process. I hope they keep this rendition. It's just the right amount of matt finish to hold chalk well but not so much you need to "season" the handle or risk grinding your callouses. You can do a gazillion snatches with this texture and your hands will be happy. The size works well for Windmills and my ladies in my classes who just love it for presses and snatches but not quite ready for volume with the 12 yet.
I will repeat what others are saying tooLook no further and buy without any hesitation from DD. They are the BEST when it comes to quality kettlebells.
I have a pair of 18# kettlebells, a 26# kettlebell. I gave away a 9# Ader, and a pair of 13# Ader kettlebells. The 9# is way too light, the 13# ones were not 2 years old, and already the pink paint (Kettlebells for the Cure promotion), on those was wearing off. I needed a kettlebell lighter than the 26#, but heavier than the 18#. I wasnt happy with the Ader, so I decided to spend some more $$ and buy the 22# dragondoor. I was VERY pleased, with the prompt service, the Enjoy the Pain logo on the shipping box. The quality of THIS kettlebell is 1st rate, it has the right heft, the handle is smooth, easy to grasp, and this will be a good weight for me to do swings with. I will buy Dragondoor kettlebells from now on. Thank you for a quality product!!
The kettlebell is terrific. I also have the 36 lb bell but this is a good size as a supplement for someone wanting to start. As Pavel states, form is everything, so use a lighter bell to start - don't rush into a heavier one until comfortable.

"A Night to Remember" captured the Titanic story like no other
Walter Lord's "A Night to Remember" is still, in my view, the most gripping account of the Titanic disaster ever written. First published in 1955, it has never been out of print. Those of us who have published Titanic books more recently look at its sales figures with awe and envy.
Lord's book is many things, among them a minute-by-minute reconstruction of the events on board the ship, based in part on interviews he did with 63 survivors, including steerage passengers whose stories were ignored in 1912. Simple and chronological only on the most superficial level, "A Night to Remember" takes an imaginative approach to time and space in which hours and minutes prove extremely malleable, the ship itself seems almost infinitely complex, and the disaster assumes order and unity only from far away.
