Personal Injury FAQ
Call Our San Angelo Injury Attorney for Advice
You don't need more confusion from lawyers, doctors, and insurance companies if you have just suffered an accident. At Webb, Stokes & Sparks, we want to help with your case as best we can by offering the benefit of our years of experience. That is why we created this frequently asked questions page.
- What should I sign for my health care provider? - Don't sign anything that looks like it allows your doctor, hospital or chiropractor to be entitled to your benefits. Most people who have auto insurance in Texas have a coverage known as Personal Injury Protection or PIP. This coverage pays a fixed sum in medical bills and lost wages if you are injured in an auto crash. You should control how this money is paid. You may need to use it for your own benefit as opposed to applying it immediately to medical bills for which you may have some other coverage.
- What is my personal injury claim worth? - No one's exact claim can be determined before a settlement is agreed on by both parties. You should avoid any attorneys who make promises regarding how much they can recover for you in compensation. Medical bills can be calculated, but factors such as emotional damages or pain and suffering are difficult to evaluate.
- What is contributory negligence? - Your actions may have contributed to the accident and the injuries you sustained. In some cases, contributory negligence on the part of the injured party can reduce the amount of the settlement award. When you have an attorney by your side, you can better defend yourself from being blamed for part of the accident.
- Who can file a personal injury claim? - Anyone who has been hurt from another person's negligent actions has the right to file a claim for damages, especially when their injuries cause them extensive pain and expenses. By proving the other person's liability, you become entitled to compensation.
- When should I file a claim? - The statute of limitations for personal injuries and wrongful death is two years. What this means for you is that you should has your case resolved or a lawsuit filed within two years of your accident in order to be eligible for compensation. If you have not settled your case or filed a lawsuit within the two year statute of limitations, your claim will be barred. Contact a San Angelo personal injury attorney from our firm to start your recovery today!
- Why do I need a personal injury attorney? - Victims of accidents are not required by law to retain a lawyer, but the benefits are considerable. Those with representation by an attorney recover much more compensation on average than people who file a claim on their own. You should make sure you have a reliable and aggressive attorney representing you against insurance companies.
- How much does a personal injury attorney cost? - At Webb, Stokes & Sparks, there is no charge for a consultation with our attorneys to discuss your potential claim. If we take your case, you only pay a fee if we make a recovery on your behalf.
Call our San Angelo personal injury attorneys if you have further questions or need representation for an injury claim.

At the recently re-opened BaiKu Sushi Lounge, newly appointed executive chef Eliott Harris is rolling out his take on the concept with a focus on freshness. As reported by Feast last month, the Midtown sushi restaurant originally opened in Hotel Ignacio in October 2014 and closed in January due to construction on the building. It reopened on April 26 under new leadership with an updated menu.
Harris previously served as the executive chef of BaiKu owner Brad Beracha's now-shuttered restaurant, Miso. His 20 years of experience behind a sushi bar also includes owning sushi-centric food truck, Chop Shop STL, and serving as the sushi consultant for Central Table Food Hall.

Former food truck sushi chef Elliot Harris has found a new, more stationary home. Harris, who sold Chop Shop STL in December 2015, is now executive sushi chef at Baiku Sushi Lounge in Midtown.
Baiku owner Brad Beracha said Harris actually joined the restaurant in January, but the announcement was postponed while Baiku temporarily closed its doors that month so Hotel Ignacio (located in the same building) addressed structural problems in the building. Beracha said Harris used that time to tweak the sushi menu. Repairs are made and Baiku will reopen for dinner next Tuesday, April 26 and lunch on May 3. The restaurant will be closed on Sundays.

Hotels at one time were the epicenter of fine dining and drinking. When visiting a new city, a traveler was well-advised to find a quality hotel if he or she desired to have the best meal in town. This still is the case in some high-end hotels around St. Louis, like the boutique Hotel Ignacio in Midtown.

Mohit Suri's Crook: It's Good to Be Bad has been criticised in India for its sensationalist portrayal of Australians as racist.
A reviewer for India Today said that the film included every sensational and stereotypical aspect of racism possible.
"A country of ex-convicts. A country where they sleep with each other without marrying. A country where they don't take care of their families. Yes, that's the sort of venom that's spewed against the Australians in Crook," said the reviewer.
Website IndiGlamour.com also described the stereotypical portrayal of Indians in Australia as "beyond reproach" while Bollyspice.com said it was "far too insensitive".
The Times of India was among those giving a less critical review, describing the film as more even-handed.
"Mohit presents a new take on the issue. He depicts both of them - the Indian and the Australian - as equally racist and argues for introspection on both sides," said the reviewer.
Director Suri was inspired to make the film, which stars Emraan Hashmi and Neha Sharma, after press reports of attacks on Indian students in Melbourne.

Carolyn Woolston, writing as Lynna Banning, shares this insight about her new book:
My new book, "Baby on the Oregon Trail," is close to my heart because my great-grandparents came to Oregon in a covered wagon along the Oregon Trail. Grand-grandfather Edgar Boessen was an immigrant from Germany; Great-grandmother Maia Bruhn came from Denmark. Their descendants now number in the thousands.
Typical of those intrepid travelers who came west on the Oregon Trail is the following diary entry: "Friday, October 27. Arrived at Oregon City at the falls of the Willamette. Saturday, October 28. Went to work." (James W. Nesmith, 1843)

Amy Hale Auker cowboys for Spider Ranch in Yavapai County, Arizona, with her husband, Gail Steiger. Work on the ranch provides ample material for her writing: prose, poetry, fiction and non-fiction. She is the author of Rightful Place, a collection of essays, and two novels, Winter of Beauty and The Story Is the Thing. A new collection of creative non-fiction will be released in 2017. Amy's presentations on the stage and on the page are deeply rooted in the natural world where the bats fly, lizards do pushups on the rocks, bears leave barefoot prints in the dirt. Where hummingbirds do rain dances in August, spiders weave for their food, and poetry is in the chrysalis and the cocoon. She tells stories about the real world where things grow up out of the ground, where the miracle of life happens over and over again, where people can and do survive without malls or Arby's. Amy believes that what you put out there is what you get back, and that growing food is an honorable profession.
Amy will join nearly 50 other poets, musicians and musical groups from the U.S., Canada and Australia who will perform on seven stages at four different venues in Elko. For artist bios and audio samples, visit www.nationalcowboypoetrygathering.org. The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering also features hands-on workshops in traditional Western arts including rawhide braiding and horsehair hitching, foodways, dancing, songwriting, and how to play the bones. A special exhibition will present an artful view of the horse in the American West and will display contemporary gear from the Western Folklife Center's collection. Tickets to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering can be purchased at www.nationalcowboypoetrygathering.org, or by calling 888-880-5885.

Riddle 2
If ( $y.$y($y,$y.$y($y)) -eq 0 ) { <# What is $y? #> }
It is a true equality; no type conversion is performed for the comparison.
Answer to riddle 2
In PowerShell, when calling a method or property of an object, the name of the method or property can be represented by any expression that evaluates to be the name of the method or property.
$y is a string and the name of a string method. We call it twice, so let's simplify and pull out the nested call.
$z = $y.$y( $y )
$y.$y( $y, $z ) –eq 0
So we can see that it must be a method that returns a number. It must be able to take a single string as a parameter, or a string and number.
There are a couple string methods that meet those requirements, but only one that results in the full equation being true, that is, only one that results in a zero in our usage.
$y = 'IndexOf'
The index (location) of the string 'IndexOf' within the string 'IndexOf' is 0.
The index of the string 'IndexOf' within the string 'IndexOf' starting the search at location 0 is 0.
$z = 'IndexOf'.IndexOf( 'IndexOf' )
'IndexOf'.IndexOf( 'IndexOf', 0 ) –eq 0
All together:
'IndexOf'.IndexOf( 'IndexOf', 'IndexOf'.IndexOf( 'IndexOf' ) ) -eq 0

Venture capitalists pumped $931 million into 117 startup companies in Washington state during 2012 — the biggest haul since 2008 and a 69 percent increase over 2011's totals.
The 2012 numbers are well below the bubble years of 1999 and 2000 when more than $2 billion flowed to startup companies (though I don't think any of us want to return to those high-flying days).
Nonetheless, despite the ever-increasing worries of the so-called series A crunch, it was a very good year for venture capital investing. Several large financing deals were completed — including a $100 million round for domain name registrar Donuts; an $85 million round for daily deal site Zulily and a $50 million round for enterprise software company Apptio.
However, the venture capital business remains at a crossroads. Venture capitalists are struggling to raise funds, including Kirkland-based OVP Venture Partners which made the decision last year to not raise another fund.
Also, big exits aren't occurring with much regularity — the IPOs and acquisitions that line the pockets of venture firms. The last tech company to go public in the Seattle area was Zillow, which priced shares in July 2011. The last big startup acquisition was casino game maker Double Down Interactive, acquired 12 months ago by IGT for as much as $500 million.
What's 2013 looking like? There are some companies that could take the IPO plunge — including Tableau, INRIX, NanoString, Apptio and Zulily. Of course, it all depends where the markets go, and that's one question we can't answer.
Meanwhile, here are the companies that raised cash in 2012 as compiled by the MoneyTree report from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association.

WATERVILLE VALLEY, N.H. - Sophomore Peter Ostroski (Intervale, N.H./Kennett) recorded his second men's alpine skiing victory of the season and the Plymouth State University women's ski team posted its first team victory in three years Sunday at the Plymouth State Winter Carnival at Waterville Valley.
Ostroski led the Panther men to a second-place finish among nine schools, while the PSU women took first place among 10 teams. It marked the Panther women's first win since capturing a slalom race at Ascutney Mountain in 2006. The strong finishes for the PSU teams move the men into first place in the MacConnell Division standings, while the women are now in third place behind Colby-Sawyer College and Boston College.
Ostroski (left), who has placed in the top six in all six alpine races this season, was one of four Panthers to finish in the top 13 (among the 70 racers). PSU skiers finished in bunches, with sophomores Austin Nevins (Henniker, N.H.) and Willie Colt (Hanover, N.H.) and senior Brad Dietch (New City, N.Y.) finishing 11-12-13, and sophomore Travis Nevins (Henniker, N.H.), senior Seth Bartlett (Silver Lake, N.H.) and sophomore Joseph Healey (Fitchburg, Mass.) finishing 21-22-23.
The first three Panther women finished in the top seven among the 70 skiers in the women's race, leading to the team victory. Freshman Kait Pawlak (North Windham, Vt.), who won Saturday's slalom race, finished in third in Sunday's GS. Junior Alyssa Deane (Casper, Wyo.) was two spots back in fifth place, and sophomore Erin Fletcher (Franconia, N.H.) was two more spots back in seventh, the second-best finish of her career. Senior Katie Van Riper (Temple, Maine) also had a solid 14th-place finish.
The Panther women finished less than a second ahead of runner-up Colby-Sawyer, while Brown took third place, followed by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Boston College, Smith College, Saint Anselm College, the University of Connecticut, MIT and Babson College.
UMass, which is in third place in the men's season standings, took first place ahead of PSU and former season-leader Colby-Sawyer. Boston College was fourth, followed by Babson, Saint Anselm, UConn, Brown, and MIT.
The MacConnell Division circuit will race again next Saturday with a giant slalom event at the MIT Winter Carnival at Loon Mountain.

Furmins will become a multi-platform title post-launch, developer Housemarque has revealed.
Producer Sami 'Kraku' Koistinen told Digital Spy that the iOS puzzler is likely to be released for Mac after debuting on the App Store.
"We are going to put this game out on various different platforms, but it has not yet been decided what the platforms are going to be. We have a shortlist of platforms we'd like to cover sooner or later," he said at gamescom 2011.
"One of the first platforms we're going to cover is most probably going to be a Mac version. If the response from the general public is good we might cover some other handheld consoles that are coming, but we are just waiting to see how the iOS version performs."
Furmins is a physical puzzle game that combines "set-up-and-go gameplay with real-time interaction". The player guides a band of spherical creatures across a series of obstacle courses.
Both premium and free versions of the title are in development. The pay edition will feature "around 50 stages" with the possibility of more via DLC.
Furmins will be available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch in the autumn.
Watch the teaser trailer for Furmins below:

Saunders was speaking at an event hosted by UK think-tank Reform in central London on Thursday, where he was on a panel "detecting, intelligence and control: responding to the cyber-threat".
Saunders proudly promoted the investment made in the NCCU but admitted that "there is actually still a lot of challenges in terms of skilling, recruitment and retention – making sure we've got the right technical capabilities and staying ahead of the game…as well as up-skilling at a local level."
He added: "I do think having a basic model of having a strong, well-funded, central crime unit is really important but there's a massive hill to climb at local level."
He cited the HMIC (Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary) report, released in April and which indicated only three of 43 forces were prepared for dealing with such cases, but said others are progressing well, albeit mainly in London.
"There has been some progress made there; the Met [Police] is a good example of a force that has invested a lot in FALCON. Outside London, some forces are doing better than others and perhaps I'll leave that there."
"The key is getting the right balance there between what we're doing nationally, with the NCA, what we're doing locally for forces, and that regional tier of policing….(with specialised ROCU groups - Ed), which are really of the part answer for some small forces – some forces can't do the whole job on their own."
Saunders, who was interviewed by SC for our cyber-crime special edition last November, also admitted that the systems for reporting cyber-crimes are still largely inadequate.
"There are things we need to do to improve the reporting system, there's no doubt about that, but I think that the basic concept of having a central national reporting system is sound because in practice what they're getting is tens of hundreds of reports of the same crime, from different parts of country, and that does need to be brought together and triaged."
A deeper issue, said the NCCU head, is teething problems between certain groups, especially when one group has no capacity to deal with cyber-crime. He cited an example of Action Fraud referring a case to a local force, which may have no capacity to deal with the case and thus discard it.
"There is an issue with capacity overall," he said.
"A lot of this is about up-skilling just to operate in the digital world," Saunders later added, citing the increase in internet-enabled crimes – such as cyber-stalking and child exploitation – and how this needs to be tackled on a national level.
"The key challenges, I think, are around implementation and follow through."
Other panellists looked at cyber-crime from a business perspective, with some suggesting that the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) spread in the media and by security firms is not helpful to people coming forward.
Mandy Haeburn-Little, who heads up the new London Digital Security Centre and who is also chief executive of the Scottish Business Resilience Centre, said that this contributes to a lack of control, and that the messaging needed to be spot-on if companies are to take security seriously.
"Fear doesn't work – fear shuts down business, they don't get it," she said.
"If we start looking at talking on day-to-day basis on realities of cyber-crime, the cyber-crime statistics will go up and if people report more, they will shoot up. And actually is that good thing? Yes I think it is, it may be controversial, but I would welcome much more realistic to cyber-crime statistics."
Dr Ian Levy, technical director at GCHQ's Communications Electronics Security Group (CESG), added to the debate by saying that the right language is vital for risk management, and downplayed the reports of APTs and cyber-warfare.
"Language changes how you perceive risk…[and] this is all about risk management. When we talk about cyber-security, as an industry, it denies people to have rational feelings."
Levy expanded on that last point by saying that citizens are too often scared unreasonably by the online threats, jokingly saying that many are led to believe they will be hounded by "winged ninja cyber-monkeys" who could compromise their machine just by "thinking about it".
"If you look at attacks on enterprises, and the APT tag – most attacks we see are throwing patched vulnerabilities that have been patched."

Today, we're taking a moment to celebrate some awesome books that remind us you don't have to be a certain size or shape to be the hero, win the battle, or get the love interest of your dreams. That's right, we're talking body positivity, with the help of one of our favorite authors out there spreading the message—the one and only Julie Murphy!
Julie stole our hearts with DUMPLIN' (soon to be a major motion picture!!) and takes things to the next level with her new companion novel PUDDIN'. It's about two girls who are unlikely friends and seem like polar opposites… except for the fact that they both turn out to be total badasses that refuse to take no for an answer when it comes to pursuing their dreams. PUDDIN' has so many messages we need more of in our lives; it's equal parts heart-flutteringly adorable and inspirational, and it'll make you cheer out loud.
If you haven't read it yet, you need to start right now!
After finishing PUDDIN', we were desperate to get our hands on more inspiring reads about loving your body, and Julie was nice enough to share a list of some of her favorite recs. Scroll down to see what made it onto her list!
9 Body Positive Books Rec'd by Julie Murphy
1. The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding
Julie says, "This book is the queer fat girl rom-com I've been waiting my whole life for. And bonus points for cheeseburgers!
Seventeen, fashion-obsessed, and gay, Abby Ives has always been content playing the sidekick in other people's lives. While her friends and sister have plunged headfirst into the world of dating and romances, Abby has stayed focused on her plus-size style blog and her dreams of taking the fashion industry by storm. When she lands a prized internship at her favorite local boutique, she's thrilled to take her first step into her dream career. She doesn't expect to fall for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. Abby knows it's a big no-no to fall for a colleague. She also knows that Jordi documents her whole life in photographs, while Abby would prefer to stay behind the scenes.
Then again, nothing is going as expected this summer. She's competing against the girl she's kissing to win a paid job at the boutique. She's somehow managed to befriend Jax, a lacrosse-playing bro type who needs help in a project that involves eating burgers across L.A.'s eastside. Suddenly, she doesn't feel like a sidekick. Is it possible Abby's finally in her own story?
2. Landwhale by Jes Baker
Jes is, without a doubt, one of the leading voices in the body acceptance movement. I love everything she stands for and this book is no exception.
Jes Baker burst onto the body positivity scene when she created her own ads mocking Abercrombie & Fitch for discriminating against all body types—a move that landed her on the Today Show and garnered a loyal following for her raw, honest, and attitude-filled blog missives.
Building on the manifesta power of Things, this memoir goes deeply into Jes's inner life, from growing up a fat girl to dating while fat. With material that will have readers laughing and crying along with Jes's experience, this new book is a natural fit with her irreverent, open-book style.
3. Dietland by Sarai Walker
I promise this book will get you fired up about loving your body and smashing the patriarchy. Read it now before the show hits the small screen this summer!
Plum Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you're fat, to be noticed is to be judged. Or mocked. Or worse. With her job answering fan mail for a popular teen girls' magazine, she is biding her time until her weight-loss surgery. Only then can her true life as a thin person finally begin.
Then, when a mysterious woman starts following her, Plum finds herself falling down a rabbit hole and into an underground community of women who live life on their own terms. There Plum agrees to a series of challenges that force her to deal with her past, her doubts, and the real costs of becoming "beautiful." At the same time, a dangerous guerrilla group called "Jennifer" begins to terrorize a world that mistreats women, and as Plum grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot. The consequences are explosive.
4. Gabi, A Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero
Isabel writes with such nuance and care. This is a reread book for me and I always find myself discovering new things about Gabi every time.
Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year in high school in her diary: college applications, Cindy's pregnancy, Sebastian's coming out, the cute boys, her father's meth habit, and the food she craves. And best of all, the poetry that helps forge her identity.
July 24
My mother named me Gabriella, after my grandmother who, coincidentally, didn't want to meet me when I was born because my mother was unmarried, and therefore living in sin. My mom has told me the story many, many, MANY, times of how, when she confessed to my grandmother that she was pregnant with me, her mother beat her. BEAT HER! She was twenty-five…
5. The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
Becky Albertalli—need I say more? Molly's story is heart wrenchingly good and her relationship with her body is both familiar and refreshing to see on the page at the same time.
Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can't stomach the idea of rejection. So she's careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.
Then a cute new girl enters Cassie's orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly's cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly's totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie's new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. If Molly can win him over, she'll get her first kiss and she'll get her twin back.
There's only one problem: Molly's coworker, Reid. He's a chubby Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?
6. Shrill by Lindy West
This book had me pumping my fist in the air and shouting "Yes!" Lindy touches on lots of different topics, but her fat girl essays have a special place in my heart.
From a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions; to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes; to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value; to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea.
With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss—and walk away laughing.
7. The Earth, My Butt, & Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
This YA classic is a must-read and it's getting a fancy anniversary re-release this year! And a companion novel!
Fifteen-year-old Virginia Shreves has a larger-than-average body and a plus-size inferiority complex, especially when she compares herself to her slim, brilliant, picture-perfect family. But that's before a shocking phone call—and a horrifying allegation—about her rugby-star brother changes everything.
With irreverent humor and surprising gravity, Carolyn Mackler creates an endearingly blunt heroine who speaks to every teen who struggles with family expectations, and proves that the most impressive achievement is to be true to yourself.
8. Big Gal Yoga by Valerie Sagun
Yoga is something that's helped me get in tune and appreciate my body in a way I never thought was possible. Valerie offers great insights and even modifications for all kinds of bodies and levels of experience. Every Body Yoga by Jessamyn Stanley is also worth checking out.
Instagram star Valerie Sagun is a powerful voice in the body-positive movement: With 120,000 followers on Instagram and constant traffic on her Tumblr site, readers love her for her fearless message and insights on the benefits of yoga for all bodies.
Rejecting the idea that all yogis have to be skinny white women in fancy Lululemon gear, Valerie—size 22, mixed race, and tattooed—offers readers all of the inspiration and guidance they need to become yogis at any size.
Yoga has long been one of the most popular fitness trends in the U.S., and the body positivity community is now bigger than ever.
9. Undead Girl Gang by Lily Anderson
This might just be my favorite debut book of the year! A fat main character, an undead best friend, and witchy antics? Sign me up!
Mila Flores and her best friend Riley have always been inseparable. There's not much excitement in their small town of Cross Creek, so Mila and Riley make their own fun, devoting most of their time to Riley's favorite activity: amateur witchcraft.
So when Riley and two Fairmont Academy mean girls die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders, but they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer…before the killer strikes again.
So there you have it—from yoga guides to YA contemporaries to the undead—Julie's included something for everyone in her list of recs! Any recs of your own you'd add to the list? Tell us in the comments below!

Birthday Dinner @ Singapore Marriott Hotel
Some say the best part of birthdays are the presents. I agree! Gifts can come in many forms. And my best gift this birthday came in my child's open expression. I never expected Valerie to do this as she takes after her daddy – a man of few words. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm ecstatic in fact! I couldn't help but relish in every single letter.
Happy birthday momma bear!
Even though we don't get along sometimes, even though I'm mostly busy with work/school/appointments, even though I often fail to show you that little bit more of love I know you could use, I hope you know that you'll always be blood.
You're my family.
You made this family. Dad, Vany and I will never have the relationship we have now without you. Everything that is nearest and dearest to us is constructed by you, slowly, over many years, and with every little thing you do.
Weird to admit, but I take after dad in appearing a little hard hearted sometimes. And that can often hurt you who wear your heart on your sleeve.
When it comes down to it, I will sacrifice everything happy and good I come across for you, and to do you the little bit of justice I can for having such an earth-shatteringly wonderful, crazy and amazing mother. Heart, Wayney (Wayney is Valerie's nickname)
Before I left for Macau, Adrian and Yap had "booked" me for this dinner occasion, 10th December 2013. Adrian made the reservation at Wan Hao for Tuesday evening and Yap dutifully picked me at the appointed time. I had overslept and was slightly late but they did not reprimand me. The privilege of a birthday girl. 😉

I began to appreciate the food in Wan Hao 万豪 after my last visit. Prior to that, I had dinners there before – not fantastic then and not earth shaking now either, but the service has always been excellent!
Chinese restaurants often offer nuts as tidbits and they are usually coated in caramelised sugar and toasted sesame seeds. The cashew nuts here served as is was actually steering away from boring.
Appetizer Trio:
Old school, modern and western fused into a unique platter of appetiser. Pig's Ears are hard to get these days in "healthy" Singapore diet but a couple of slices would definitely not clog up one's arteries. I'd mentioned before I do not particularly like black pepper in my food (especially in Chinese cuisine) but these slivers of Chicken were tantalising. Smoked Duck Breast, something western, was quite creatively introduced to an otherwise mundane albeit tasty dish.
Lobster, Scallop Seafood Broth:
Lobster Seafood Soup with the allotment of sliced asparagus gave the starchy broth some crunch while the addition of black/red (I prefer black) vinegar highlighted the natural sweetness of succulent lobster chunks. Adrian was very very pleased with the soup and I could not fault it either.
Braised Premium Sea Cucumber Spring Onion Sauce:
I was a little dismayed at the different sizes of Sea Cucumber when it arrived but it was a set meal and I assume cost was taken into consideration. I was, however, pacified when I realised the chef did try to ameliorate the dish with the addition of 2 spiky version of the echinoderm, although they were much smaller in size. The garlic could do with more deep-frying to deliver better aroma and texture.
Steamed Fresh Crab Claw, Supreme Lobster Broth, "Hua Tiao" Wine:
"Do not judge a book by its cover" described the next dish best! The prodigious Crab Claw looked remarkably scrumptious. Adrian enjoyed this dish while Yap found it to be light on taste bordering bland but I found the flesh to be overdone. We mentioned this to the server and she explained the cooking process. The crab claws were lightly blanched and then steamed together with the egg white custard. Had the chef not taken this step, the dish would be "runny". Withholding the blanching process per contra had rendered the crustacean to be tough and dry. She would, however, relate this to the chef and see if he could think of a better way to counter this dilemma (in future).
Stewed Ee-fu Noodles, Crab Meat and Conpoy:
In my humble opinion, the Ee-fu Noodle dish was best. The blended seasoning and chewy texture of the flat Cantonese egg noodles made from wheat flour was almost purr-fect! Adrian refused to continue after one bite as he knew he would finished the whole plate. He's about to go on his holidays and he wanted to look good shirtless (rolling my eyes here). I finished mine and Yap had the pleasure of woofing down Adrian's plate.
Sweetened Home-made Walnut Cream:
I was ready to go for dessert at The House of Robert Timms but Adrian said the set meal consisted a Chinese dessert. Walnut Cream, one of my favourite! However, the paste had too much sugar and starch (cornflour or the like). I preferred grainier-textured cream, composed of wholesome ground walnuts with lesser sugar. I had 2 spoonfuls and decided to chuck it aside (and you know by now how I dislike wasting food).
Bill was settled but Adrian refused to tell me the price. He split the bill with Yap and had his oath not to tell me. Thank you boys, for the treat.
Instead of going to Robert Timms, we decided to go to Marriott's Poolside Terrace for coffee. We ordered 3 Latte and a slice of Chocolate Cake. Adrian instructed the waiter to put a candle on it. The young waiter asked if it was somebody's birthday and Adrian replied "Yes".
Soon after, the coffee was served, we requested for the bill. The young smiley waiter told us his "boss" said the cake was complimentary.
Adrian turned to me and chimed "And that is why I pledge my undying love to Marriott", lol…

It is offered during fall semester of the third year in the Industrial Relations and Human Resources undergraduate program. In this course, the students will learn to recognize the importance of strategy as a way to achieve the ultimate objectives of any organization. As these objectives require learning about the environmental conditions and their evolution, the students will learn various evaluation techniques in both the external and internal contexts. Along with strategic analysis, the process of strategic planning is introduced, and they will become familiar with the process of strategic implementation. This course is given late in the undergraduate program, as it requires previous knowledge in multiple areas in both the organization and the socio-economic environment in which they operate. The course contents bring the students to one of the most important functions of top management: recognizing the changing environment and designing actions to facilitate the organization¿s survival.Competencies and learning outcomesGeneral competenciesCapacity to identify, interpret, formulate, and resolve problems and situations.Capacity for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling systems and processes within a framework that guarantees respect for values, rights and basic principles of the legal system, business competitiveness, protection and conservation of the environment, and sustainable development.Skills for the efficient application of tools that lead to the solution of problems.Capability for developing new lines, processes, projects, and products.Critical and analytical skills.Capacity for evaluating, optimizing, and comparing criteria in decision making.Ability to work with multidisciplinary and multicultural teams.Specific competenciesPrepare and develop human resources strategies in line with business strategy.Prepare, implement, and evaluate territorial strategies for socio-economic advancement and employability.Objectives (Learning outcomes)01Apply the concept of business strategy at different levels within, and different stages, in a real company.02Provide the mission, vision, and objectives at different types of businesses.03Analyze the overall and specific environmental impact on the business.04Apply techniques for internal analysis of the business.05Find out the competitive advantage in wich each company bases its strategy.06Formulate and assess the different strategic alternatives for a company.ContentsLecture topicsTeaching unitsU1INTRODUCTION TO STRATEGIC MANAGEMENTU2BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND VALUESU3STRATEGIC ANALYSIS: THE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTU4INTERNAL ANALYSIS OF THE BUSINESSU5STRATEGY FORMULATION: THE COMPETITIVE STRATEGIESU6STRATEGY FORMULATION: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTU7STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION: STRATEGIC EVALUATION, PLANNING, AND CONTROLAssociation between objectives and unitsObjective/UnitU1U2U3U4U5U6U7010203040506ScheduleWeekTeaching unitsDirected hoursShared hoursAutonomous hoursTotal hours1U130362U130363U230364U231595U331376U331597U431378U431599U5313710U53161011U6313712U6313713U6316.510.514U7303615U73036Course contentsBasic bibliographyGuerras Martín, Luis Angel.

|Here's a cute Super Bowl version of the oreo ball.
There's two ways you can make these, I'll share them both.
|Here's a cute Super Bowl version of the oreo ball.
Haha! Love the nameReplyDelete
haha man catching! love it!!! these look so good!!! like, my mouth is watering....which is bad because i'm on whole 30 and not allowed to have these! however....i will be saving this to make sometime in the future!! :)ReplyDelete
hahaha the dorm room way is hilarious! These look delicious.ReplyDelete
This is hysterical! And these look amazing, I'll definitely be making some soon...ReplyDelete
I can vouch for the "man-catching" quality of these little treats. These were the first treats that I made for Taylor before we were even dating. I still make them for him on special occasions! :)ReplyDelete
These sound delicious! Your description of cooking in your kitchen make me jealous. Although the north slope apartments have pretty good kitchens (so much better than mayfield!!)ReplyDelete
These look DIVINE!!!! Love the story to them too. :) Totally need to make this ASAP!ReplyDelete
S'Mores Bites, cake batter flavored rice crispy treats and Funfetti dip are my go-tos!ReplyDelete
Oh goodness, these look amazing! And I love that you included a kitchen way and a dorm room way :-)ReplyDelete
I love that you have both a dorm room way and a with-appliances way! As for your jokes about man-catching...I still swear that my ginger cookies are pretty effective at man-catching. The first time I brought them to a potluck at college, Angel ate 7 at the event and took 5 home with him. The rest is history. :PReplyDelete
These look SO delicious! My mouth is watering now.ReplyDelete
Thanks. About noon yesterday my husband text me: "Least favorite blog ever." I guess he wasn't too fond of it. {Don't worry, he told me he was only pretend mad.}ReplyDelete
I may have done that a time or two... or three. They're just SO good {and way too easy for our own good}.ReplyDelete
You're so close! These should definitely be you're reward on Day 31, though.ReplyDelete
Hilarious and an entirely accurate account of how things went down. And, I think they taste even better than they look!ReplyDelete
Do it! And let me know how they turn out!ReplyDelete
Glad to know I'm not the only one who used them for their "magical love" powers! ;) Aren't they the best?ReplyDelete
Laura!! How are you doing? And, your kitchen in the North Slop apartments might very well be nicer than mine! I just have a few nifty appliances, haha.ReplyDelete
They taste even better than they look. Do it! And let me know how they turn out!ReplyDelete
All those things are making my mouth water. What do "S'Mores Bites" consist of? S'mores are probably one of my favorite desserts - they are just a little messy to make very often.ReplyDelete
They taste even better than they look! And I couldn't do a post about Oreo Balls without documenting the ridiculous things we went through to make them in our dorm room.ReplyDelete
I'm telling you - the way to a man's heart is through his stomach {Daniel is living proof}. I can't say that I've ever had a ginger cookie, though. What are they like?ReplyDelete
They taste even better than they look! And you should definitely try them out and let me know what you think.ReplyDelete
Our kitchens are pretty nice here :) and I love having a place that is more our own than mayfield was. I am doing well....life is crazy but God is good. I can't believe how much time here is flying. I've really enjoyed following your blog. It's encouraging in so many ways. Keep up the writing :)ReplyDelete
It will be gone before you know it! Enjoy every moment. And, thanks - I love writing and didn't want to give it up, so this is my new "Threefold Advocate" - it's MUCH less stressful, for sure.ReplyDelete
"Ginger cookie" is what my recipe calls them, they'e basically ginger snaps though I think the flavor is sweeter and not quite so strong as ginger snaps.ReplyDelete
http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2012/06/smore-bites/ That's the link to the recipe. They are seriously SO easy and SO delicious! RUN - don't walk - to your kitchen and make them right MEOW!ReplyDelete

Aishling & Joe were married in Newbridge last Saturday. This is Newbridge Co. Galway. This is my 3rd Wedding I did for the Larken family. I love Newbridge weddings they are a very close knit community, and everybody turns up. I always hope for a fine day because the amount of bonfires that are lit is unreal.
I started in the grooms home then with three Tractors we brought the Groom to the Church, with lots of Bonfires on the way. The same at the Brides home. The day was magnificent. The ceremony was performed by Fr. Louis and he did some job.
I had to include the photo of Aisling and Joe on the back of the Tractor, This was a first for me. The reception was in the Claregaslway Hotel, the band was Sean Slattery, and I must say a great wedding band. I worked on until the band finished. It was a most enjoyable day with all lovely people.

Data Integrator
Have you ever wished that the Table Browser could associate your custom track items
with some other track, while retaining the item names from both? We have released a
new tool that can do just that, and more: the Data Integrator.
Using the Data Integrator you can select up to five tracks, including custom tracks
and hub tracks, and output tab-separated text that contains all the fields from both
the first track and the overlapping items from the other track(s). If you need only
a subset of the fields from your selected tracks, the Data Integrator allows you to
choose which fields to include in the output. You can also query your current Genome
Browser position, search for positions of items such as genes, SNPs, etc. by name,
query over a set of up to 1000 positions, and even retrieve genome-wide data
(subject to data size). The Data Integrator output can be viewed in your web browser
window or downloaded to an optionally gzip-compressed file. Look for "Data Integrator"
in the Genome Browser Tools menu (top blue bar) if you'd like to try it out.
For more information about the Data Integrator's capabilities and usage, see the
user's guide:
As always, we welcome questions and feedback on our public mailing list:
Thanks to Angie Hinrichs and Matthew Speir for all of their work on this feature.

As part of the Solar Lease Project at Faaso Battor, the Centre for Energy, Environment, and Sustainable Development (CEESD) has commenced installation of solar electricity to a community school within the location. The school, which was recently built by the Government of Ghana, has no source of electricity, as the community is entirely off-grid.
This project is aimed providing lighting in the school for evening studies for pupils to increase learning time to improve performance in exams. It also aimed at providing power for the information and communication technology (ICT) centre to be utilized by the pupils. It is further anticipated that this project would reduce participation of students in social vices while teachers would benefit by having extra evening hours to prepare lesson notes. Additionally, lights would also provide improved security for the facility.
The school is one of six beneficiaries of the project.

Navigating the ever-changing landscape of tax law can be daunting and time-consuming. A partnership with Spiegel Accountancy Corp. ensures you will be kept abreast of these changes and that they will be implemented in a manner that maximizes your tax strategy.
We also look forensically at previously filed tax returns to see if there is potential for any additional savings. For example, when we start working with a new client, we often discover overpayments in prior-year tax returns due to incorrect application of tax law. In many cases, we can obtain refunds by amending the past returns.
Furthermore, we're experts at tax planning. We listen to your needs and aggressively apply the IRS rules to secure the best financial outcome for you.
Our services include:
- Tax return preparation, including multi-state returns
- Tax planning and projections
- Amended returns
- IRS and FTB audit representation
- Tax credits
- Quarterly and annual payroll reports
- Quarterly and annual sales tax reports
- City business tax returns
- Annual property tax returns
- Annual 1099s, 1098s, etc.
- Succession planning
"We have worked with Jeff and his team at Spiegel Accountancy Corp. for well over a decade. They are an indispensable resource to our Company and the mortgage industry."
"Bank of America Merril Lynch originally recommended our company to Spiegel Accountancy Corp. We added them to the list and after our thorough vetting process of 6 CPA firms, they clearly won. Spiegel beat the competition in all areas of comparability and has proven to be a key component towards our success. Our Banks and Capital Markets partners highly respect their audit and attestation and I am honored to be given the opportunity to recommend them."

We celebrated Baby Jack at Natalie's baby shower a few weeks ago.
I made Natalie a new mom comfort kit to take to the birthing center / hospital.
Snacks (granola bar, fruit strips), notepad and pen, nail polish, iTunes gift card, chapstick, Kleenex, breath mints, anti-stress lotion, mouthwash, face/hand wipes, hair ties. Update: Now that I use and love Young Living Essential oils I would add some lavender or Gentle Babies blend! Tender Tush would be a great addition too! What else would you add?
I looked for a cute clear make-up bag, but I couldn't find one that I liked and then I remembered this bag from a Johnson's Baby Gift Set that I had received for both kids It was already empty so I added the new mom kit things instead.
Remember this post? I looked back at my notes about what to pack for the hospital when I made this kit.
I made the label and attached it with a luggage tag.
FREE PRINTABLE- I made 3 options – pink, green and blue booties. Click to download each color in Google Docs. Let me know if you want another color! Feel free to personalize the booties with the baby's name or initials!
Check out my "Unsolicited New Baby Advice" too.
What's your favorite DIY baby shower gift?
The shower decorations were so cute.
Look at these awesome, easy party favors too!
Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

Employment Contracts
One of the first questions that many new employers ask themselves is whether they should have their employees sign employment agreements. In most cases, the answer that question is a resounding no.
The reason is that an employment contract generally restricts an employer's right to terminate or to make other changes to an employee's terms and conditions of employment. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. They generally fall into the following categories:
* where an employee holds a key position within the company or organization;
* to entice an employee to leave a competitor; or
* to entice an employee to remain employed.
Generally speaking, there is no difference between an employment contract and any other contract. That is not to say that there are not unique provisions that appear in executive employment agreements. As an attorney, or high-level executive, you should understand that these agreements may contain very complex tax and security issues. Likewise, unlike other traditional business deals, an employment agreement must rest on a foundation of trust between the parties. Posturing in order to obtain the best deal may be counterproductive where the goal is to have a long-term, fruitful relationship between the parties. This is particularly important for attorneys to recognize if they have been called in to draft an agreement after the principles have reached a deal on a handshake.
Form of the Agreement
Employment contracts need not be lengthy or complex. In many instances, they may take the form of a simple letter. Obviously, detailed agreements are required for certain very high-level executives who work for large corporations. In either case, the purpose of the agreement is to formalize the parties understandings with respect to their mutual obligations. This may be a one-page document or a 30 page document.
Common Provisions
Employment agreements do contain a certain number of generally accepted provisions, such as term of employment, compensation, and termination.
Check the employment contract section for a full listing of common provisions.

I love my name. I'm not sure why. Ever since I was a child, I have LOVED being an "AMY!" I think that all of us think our name is special. Our school is special. Our hobbies are special. These things define us. They matter.
At our store, we strive hard to help our customers CUSTOMIZE their event.
Whether it's the name of a newly engaged couple on a balloon…..the name of a new baby or a baby-to-be on a balloon or the name of our favorite birthday girl or boy on a balloon….we realize that THESE THINGS MATTER.
Here are our FAVORITE CUSTOMIZED balloon projects. All are available by calling us at It's My Party. 219-322-7777. Located just 20 miles from Chicago, we serve the whole Northwest Indiana and South Suburban Illinois Region.
This BALLOON WALL was out of this world! We used 36 inch letters on the balloon wall to spell out Rosalinda's name. It looks cool in this photo…..but AMAZING in person.
Here we spelled out our customer's NAME on the side of this design. This design is great for tables….a gift table, dessert table, etc.
Vinyl Imprints can be added to ANY THEME……
Below, the date of the wedding and the name of the wedding couple is put onto the clear balloon.
The name EMMA is written in glittery vinyl.
The name REBECCA is made out of junior letter balloons and placed onto the balloon arch.
Want to see YOUR NAME in BALLOONS?! Be sure to give us a call. For over 5 years, we've been making our customers smile. We can't wait to serve YOU!!
Amy and Brian 🙂
