There are many revenue share sites that are legitimate and pay, and some people manage to hit the triple figures by writing for them. However, unlike with your own website, you don't have real control over revenue share websites and how they are managed. Keep in mind the following common issues on revenue share sites, and make sure you always protect your interests as a writer, no matter how good the deal sounds in theory.
They Can Stop Paying You
One of the worst problems you can find on revenue share sites is that they can decide to stop paying you. For example, Associated Content (a very respectable revenue share site, owned by Yahoo) cited legal problems to stop paying revenue share to non Americans. They didn't offer to take down all the articles from everybody who wasn't eligible to be paid, though, and are perfectly willing to keep getting money from advertisement displayed on articles whose owner is no longer being compensated.
They Can Change the Rules of the Game
Another thing a revenue sharing site can do that can destroy your idea of passive revenue is to add new rules about what you need to do to get paid. For example, Helium added a requirement that you need to maintain 1 rating star on the site, or you won't accumulate any more revenue. This means even if you are no longer interested on the site you still need to turn up and do your rating correctly, or you won't get paid. Your articles will still be there and generating money for them, though. So much for a nice revenue stream when you are on a long trip…
The Payment System Can Change
Some people select revenue sharing sites because they want to avoid using Google AdSense, but what happens if your favourite revenue sharing site suddenly decides to implement AdSense sharing revenue, partially or to the exclusion of everything else? This is what happened to the folks at Bukisa, and some found it incredibly damaging to their passive revenue plans. If your passive revenue hopes rely on online affiliate marketing keep in mind that some sites have banned entire affiliate networks for a variety of reasons, so you may end up having to edit a large part of your portfolio to change or remove the links.
They Can Lose Their Search Engine Traffic
After the launch of what is familiarly known as Google Panda early in 2011, most revenue sharing sites such as Suite101 were absolutely decimated. Google decided that the content on those sites wasn't, in average, good enough, and the good writers were pulled down with the bad. This means that no matter if your writing is top-notch, you may lose most of your search engine traffic because the site doesn't have enough quality controls to weed out the bad content, or their technical team is not 100% familiar with SEO.
They Can Cancel Your Account
This is one of those things you never think it could happen to you, but it actually does happen to many people. Their accounts are cancelled, and they just aren't paid anymore, but the site still displays their articles and makes money off them. While I think any site owner should have a right to remove people who aren't good enough or just not suitable, and plagiarisers deserve to have their accounts cancelled, I personally don't see why a site should keep the articles of somebody who is not good enough to stay on the site and keep profiting from them.
The Site Can Go Offline
Imagine you have a thousand articles earning a tidy revenue stream on a revenue share site, just to wake up one morning and discovering that the site has gone offline because the owner didn't think it was an interesting project anymore. While the older and most established revenue share sites are often safe enough, beware of joining the latest indie revenue share site or at least keep back-ups of all your articles, just in case.
They May Never Pay You
Some sites have become infamous for letting people accumulate money on their accounts, and then refusing to pay by giving made up reasons or just cancelling a user account right before they are to be paid. Thankfully, the Internet is full of people happy to report that kind of scams to other writers, and the few sites who do that are quickly named and shamed, but this reinforces the need for proper research before placing even a single article on a third party site.
How to Write For Revenue Share Safely
Revenue share websites are a very valid way to make money writing online, and they are great if you want to focus on writing instead of managing a site, however you must do your part to minimize the risks. You should start with becoming really familiar with the terms of the agreement you enter with any revenue share site you post articles to, and evaluate the worst case scenario situation.
Things to watch out for are granting any site exclusive rights to your articles (you cannot post them elsewhere, even if they don't pay you anymore) or even perpetual non-exclusive rights, as they can keep the articles there even without compensating the author. Most of the time the safest option is writing for a site that allows you absolute control over your articles, from editing to deleting them, as that means you can leave if the site doesn't suit your style and take your articles with you.
Before joining a new revenue share site and starting to add many articles to it, it's a good idea to research the Internet for people who have been scammed. However, be careful to distinguish people who are just angry they got caught breaking the rules, from those who actually had their account cancelled for suspicious reasons. It is advisable to put up to 50 articles on one site and letting them mature for a bit to evaluate the real revenue potential of a site before you invest heavily on it.

Summary of the Business Case
If the second half of the twentieth century is considered to be the 'digital age', with the introduction of high-powered digital computers, and freely available data via the internet, then the first half of the twenty-first century may well be considered as the 'biological age'. Our ability to sequence DNA increasingly quickly, accurately and inexpensively has opened up a new vista for biological research. This 'omics' revolution is best illustrated by the publication of the draft human genome sequence in 2001. The ensuing data deluge showed that this acceleration was part of a wider series of developments in the life sciences with tremendous potential in areas such as drug development, personalised medicine, and sustainable agri-systems. This was recognised by OECD who stated that biotechnology could contribute up to 2.7% of the GDP of OECD countries in 2030 (The Bioeconomy to 2030, designing a political agenda, OECD, 2009 – Download OECD report), with many leading world economies, such as Germany and the USA, identifying the bioeconomy as the next important growth area. This expansion will largely be driven by knowledge-based industries, an area ideally suited for exploitation by the strong European science base.
The challenge for the life sciences in the coming decades will be how we best utilise the deluge of data, and systems biology will be central to this endeavour. In contrast to traditional biological reductionist research, breaking down biological phenomena into constituent parts and analysing these components in isolation, systems biology integrates diverse datasets to allow us to understand biological processes across multiple temporal and spatial scales. This approach is built on the utilisation of computational models in an iterative process of experimentation and modelling, enabling researchers to simulate, explore and predict behaviour of the biological system under investigation.
Over the last decade, systems biology has flourished across Europe and worldwide with advances in high throughput 'omics' technologies, modern computational power and the high speed information exchange of the internet. It is now vital to spread this expertise rapidly throughout the life sciences, together with the relevant tools, to undertake even more detailed scientific investigation.
The creation of ISBE will ensure that previous and planned national and international investments will be maximised for the European Research Area to gain added value from European level coordination. It will capitalise on this momentum by providing easy access to services, tools and resources, as well as training and education in systems biology across Europe, to tackle pressing societal grand challenges in health, agriculture and bio-economy.
Realising ISBE – Meeting infrastructure needs for systems biology
ISBE's strategy is to create a pan-European infrastructure for systems biology (ISBE) that facilitates the use of model-driven approaches to understand complex biological systems, enabling their function to be altered in a rational and predictive way.
The delivery of the ISBE strategy will be achieved at a pan-European level across interrelated domains of the services, tools and resources in five main types of co-ordinated activity:
- modelling and data integration resources and services
- stewardship
- standardisation
- model-compliant data generation
- education and training
These co-ordinated activities will be interlinked to greatly improve accessibility, interoperability and re-usability of data, in accordance with the FAIR initiative.
ISBE will comprise a two layer 'hub and spoke' model. At the national level, the national Systems Biology Centre (nSBC) would typically be hosted by a leading university or research institute, linking to other universities and research institutes, all contributing to ISBE. For each country it is envisaged these centres would build upon the installed base of facilities and expertise in line with the national strategies of individual European member states, with provision of resources derived from most of the major previous national investments in systems biology infrastructure.
At the European level, the hub for the whole of ISBE will be the Coordinating ISBE Office (CIO) for administrative, legal and governance aspects, with one of the nSBCs coordinating operational delivery, including responsibility for pan European issues relating to standards and training.
It is envisaged that this structure will link countries with the ability to provide most, if not all, of the facilities and expertise required to realise the ISBE vision, with other countries who have smaller or less well developed research communities that may be able to provide only certain aspects of the vision. The ISBE services will have different modalities including web-based resources, consultancy and contract activities.
Underpinning these activities will be a multi-faceted education and training strategy which will support postgraduate education in systems biology through the development of core curricula, competency based short courses for users, training for nSBC staff in collaboration with other research infrastructures, and an up-to-date database of systems biology courses, workshops and conferences.
ISBE will not operate in isolation, it will integrate its services with complementary biomedical research infrastructures, projects and initiatives to maximise synergies, avoid overlaps and exchange expertise. ISBE is actively engaging with all European biomedical ESFRIs to tackle cross-cutting issues through its involvement in the CORBEL proposal (Coordinated Research Infrastructures Building Enduring Life-science Services) in response to the Horizon 2020 INFRADEV-4 call. ISBE will continue to explore avenues for harmonised access and service provision with other ESFRIs and EU initiatives in all aspects of its planned operations, including ISBE education and training strategy, and coherent industrial engagement.
ISBE will be a sustainable, long term infrastructure, with a robust and effective financial, legal and governance structure that supports efficient operations and strategic planning. Funding for nSBCs will come primarily from member states, reflecting their national excellence and priorities. This presents an opportunity for additional investment to enhance national coordination in countries with prior significant investments. Other countries may also identify new investment opportunities in those national research centres that would be involved in an nSBC.
Through ISBE, the European life sciences research community will come together to provide a range of integrated research 'toolkits' that allow all life scientists to implement computational modelling and systems approaches in their research. This will be accompanied by the development of software to facilitate modelling of complex systems and the development of standards and interoperability, making research more efficient. ISBE is poised to enable ready access to a state-of-the-art systems biology infrastructure that will further enhance European competitiveness and social wellbeing by creating a common source of systems biology services, archives, repositories, tools, standards, data, models and training.

A Checklist for Indie Authors – E-Book Retailers (Post 2)
As I stated in my first post on this series, if you upload to Amazon and B&N, you've covered 60-70% of e-books sold today. That's a good place to start. I could have formatted my own books to save money, but I went through a service provider to do this as I continued writing my contracted books. My formatters created my e-book files for Sex, Death and Moist Towelettes & Dark Kiss through Amazon (Mobi), B&N (ePub), and Smashwords (.doc), plus my e-book and pdf file for my Print-on-Demand (POD) non-fiction book with a cover design for the front, spine, and back of One Author's Aha Moments.
To optimize an indie author's outreach and distribution efforts, I'm listing other options beyond Amazon and B&N in this blog series. Stay tuned for more in the weeks to come when I post about Distributors & Library Sales, Retailers with Volume Restrictions, and I draw some conclusions from all this in my final post on the indie author topic. I plan to launch a page on my Fringe Dweller blog where I will list indie resources and maintain them.
Below are the e-book retailers that allow anyone to upload content, no matter how many offerings you have or your publisher status. (Kobo will be mentioned in the next post, but there are many interesting changes happening that will put them on this list soon.) Please be aware that each of these sites operates under different formats and you should get familiar with their guidelines.
Amazon's Kindle Digital Publishing (KDP) - Amazon's primary e-book format is Mobipocket (Mobi) files, with or without DRM. Amazon currently dominates the market on e-book retail sales. Authors and publishers have access to an effective online retail outlet. Their royalty percentages are split by price point. Currently, that is 70% if your e-book is priced between $2.99 & $9.99, or 35% for all other price points. There is a small delivery charge based on size of file and royalties are paid monthly.
Barnes & Noble - B&N's upload service is called PubIt!. PubIt! is similar to the Amazon KDP and gives indie authors the ability to upload a higher quality of ePub file that will not be lost through an automated conversion process where standards might be lower. The system also accepts Word, HTML, RTF, and TXT documents, which will be auto-converted to the ePub format.
Apple's iBookstore - Apple's iBookstore is open for authors and publishers to upload their own content. You must have a Mac computer to use the iTunes Producer program to upload the files. The signup process may seem intimidating, but an indie author can earn a higher royalty percentage by going direct and not through a distributor/aggregator. If you are unable to use Apple's system because of limitations, the iBookstore provides a link of Approved Aggregators you can go through.
Google - Google's e-book store allows readers to purchase PDF and ePub versions of your book, protected by the Adobe DRM. (Digital Rights Management is a term for any security measures designed to inhibit piracy.) The Google e-book store is part of the Google Books Partner Program. HERE is a link on their system requirements.
Lulu - Lulu uses ePub, PDF, and Microsoft Reader (LIT) formats, with and without DRM. Lulu is well-known for its Print-on-Demand (POD) services and an indie author can sell e-books through them. Lulu takes a cut of sales and there could be an additional fee to use the DRM option. Lulu is an Apple-approved aggregator for the iBookstore.
ebookMall - A $19.95 submission fee is waived until June 30, 2012. ebookMall uses ePub and PDF file types. Lightning Source could be an alternate source into this retailer.
Scribd - Scribd uses PDF files only and cannot sell other formats.
Smashwords - Smashwords works off a specific Word document style (HERE) that must be in accordance with the Smashwords Style Guide. That Word doc is auto-converted into 9 different formats at the author's option. In addition to selling books at its own online store with the lowest fee of any retailer listed here (15%), the Smashwords Premium Catalog offers authors and small publishers a way to distribute their titles across a variety of retailers, including Apple's iBookstore, the Sony eBook Store, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and others.
In my next post, I will go into more detail on the various issues with a middleman distributor. Be aware that an indie author can have format issues by going through the conversion process and this can translate into downstream retailers taking issue with e-book quality from that distributor and YOU. Bottom line is, uploading directly to a retailer with relative ease might be your best option. You'll see why in my next post when we talk about issues beyond formatting, like cumbersome and untimely price changes when going through a third party.
Some of this sounds daunting, but remember, if you've got your book onto Amazon and Barnes & Noble, you have your digital baby with the largest e-book retailers. Fine tuning your retailer outreach can be done as you have time. It doesn't have to be done all at once. Many of these sites will take time away from your writing, so weigh the benefits against the time it takes for you to focus on this, but once you see how things go, you can fine tune where you will focus your retail and promotional efforts.
If you're an indie author, please share your experiences with the retailers I mentioned and what has worked for you. If you are exploring the idea of self-publishing, do posts like this help you or intimidate you?

Hey Jordan,
I must say, I learned alot from your post today.
As you know from our chats on TKZ, and through YARWA, I went Indie with two novels last year and I wanted to share my input.
I've been happy with amazon's KDP program. Getting the MS up was not difficult. Loading my cover art was a snap. I did everything myself, and while that week was a busy one, since then it's been smooth sailing.
And, here's the cool thing - they pay me every month, and have since I started.
I have found amazon's customer service to be excellent - they respond to me immediately (though problems have been rare).
I get 5 free days of promo w/ amazon in trade for exclusivity with them for 90 days - not a bad trade.
I'm thinking about going back to Barnes & Noble (I originally uploaded the books for Nook as well) and spreading my distribution around some more. Thanks for addressing that in your post. Very helpful.
I appreciate all the legwork you've done for us. Will you be sharing this topic in Anaheim next week? I have to miss the RWA convention this year, but I've already got Atlanta penciled into my calendar for next year.
Happy Summertime Everybody,

Thanks for sharing all your experience, Paula. You definitely have been in the trenches.
And if we are ever at the same conference, I would love to meet you in person. You've been such a great follower of The Kill Zone and this blog. I think drinks are in order.
I definitely want to check out the KDP program thru Amazon when I have a novel. With only my short stories and my non-fiction, I thought it would be best to upload to a few places and learn the most I can. B&N has been a good seller for me. The way they handle their sales rankings is different from Amazon and I don't feel lost in the crowd of books. But I've also heard that the promo during those 90 days on Amazon could be worth it to push your book into their sales algorithms.
One thing I will say for all the other online retailers, you have to determine whether they are worth it since they cut into your profit. They can take more % royalty, pay quarterly, and also not pay out if your overall dollars falls below a certain level. B&N & Amazon pay out at $10. Not so with many of these other retailers. That seems a rip off to me.
I'm looking at KOBE's new portal closely. I hear very good things about them. I'm also hoping Apple gets more writer friendly. I've just uploaded to All Romance Ebooks, which will get me to Apple iStore. We'll see.
Have a great weekend!

Apple has announced that customers spent more than $10 billion (£6.1bn) on apps in 2013, making it a record-breaking year for Apple's App Store.
December was the most successful month in App Store history, with Apple users downloading almost three billion apps during that month alone and contributing $1 billion to the $10 billion total for the year.
In a press release sent out on Tuesday, Apple's senior vice president of internet software and services, Eddy Cue, said: "We'd like to thank our customers for making 2013 the best year ever for the App Store. The lineup of apps for the holiday season was astonishing and we look forward to seeing what developers create in 2014."
In total, developers have earned $15 billion from the App Store, according to Apple.
In the iOS App Store there are more than one million iPad, iPhone and iPod touch apps available to download in 155 countries. Around half of those apps are native iPad apps.
May 2013 saw the 50 billionth app downloaded from the iOS App Store since it was launched in 2008.

The dreaded or delightful (depending on your view) awards season is in full swing, with many of the likely contenders starting to be released in cinemas around the world. This means there is plenty to watch, review and dissect! Check out the late October edition of Film Link Goodness after the jump.
Andrew Buckle of The Film Emporium and Graffiti With Punctuation had the enviable task of interviewing director Paul Thomas Anderson this week. I am really looking forward to reading his interview, but in the meantime I recommend reading his fantastic analysis of The Master.
Speaking about The Master, I think we can all agree that the score by Jonny Greenwood was something quite special. NPR's Weekend Edition interviewed the Greenwood about the score – listen here
The 16th Japanese Film Festival announced it's full programme, and there is plenty to be excited about. For coverage/reviews of the festival you should be following @Kwenton, @DVDBits and @GeekOfOz and their respective sites.
Laurence Anyways, the third feature film from 23 year-old Canadian film-maker Xavier Dolan is a film I am desperately hoping gets a cinema release in Australia. At The Vevlet Café Jessica reviews the film and calls it "melancholic and heartbreaking".
When Tom Clift was in Sydney a couple of months ago he urged me to try to see the short film It's Such a Beautiful Day, which he said was one of his favourite films of the year. Sadly I am yet to see the film, but over at Moviedex you can read Tom's full review and watch a sneak preview of the film.
Please go and wish talented film writer Stevee Taylor a very happy 3rd blog birthday! Her site Cinematic Paradox is a source of great reviews, insight and commentary on all things film. Congratulations Stevee and keep up the amazing work!
Adultery and its fallout is the central feature of many, many movies. Alex at And So It Begins… has done a fantastic pair of posts on his favourite spousal interrogation scenes. Check out 10 Exceptional Cases of Wives Interrogating Their Cheating Husbands and 10 Exceptional Cases of Husbands Interrogating Their Cheating Wives.
Lastly for this edition, I recently checked out Searching for Sugar Man, a fascinating documentary about little-known but phenomenally talented musician Rodriguez. If you get a chance to see the film, I highly recommend that you do so. I am now completely hooked on his amazing music. Listen to the catchy Can't Get Away below!

Oasis and Coldplay share awards
Rock groups Coldplay and Oasis have shared the major prizes at this year's NME Awards in London, winning two each.
Oasis, who narrowly missed out on the UK number one spot on Sunday, beat Coldplay to the titles of best UK band and artist of the year.
The annual NME Awards - formerly known as the Brats - are handed out by the New Musical Express magazine and have more of an alternative focus than the forthcoming Brit Awards.
The magazine gave its Godlike genius award to the Clash, whose singer Joe Strummer died in December. The rest of the band were at the ceremony to receive the honour.
But absent was Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Kelly, who was due to perform but pulled out because of the risk of terrorist attacks.
Among the other winners were UK indie newcomers The Libertines, known for their rock 'n' roll excesses, who were named best new band.
Swedish garage rock act The Hives were named best international band, while US singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, who has enjoyed enormous cult success with his latest solo album Gold, won best solo artist.
New Zealand rockers The Datsuns won best live band and Australian group The Vines - who had six nominations going into the ceremony - only went home with the prize for best single, for their UK top 30 hit Get Free.
Sexiest stars
The 27-strong Texan group Polyphonic Spree were named winners of the award for innovation, while The Osbournes was named best TV show.
In the less serious categories, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was named sexiest man and Canadian teen singer Avril Lavigne sexiest woman.
But it was not a good night for Robbie Williams, who was voted villain of the year ahead of Osama Bin Laden, as well as worst album for Escapology and worst single for Feel.
Ozzy Osbourne was named hero of the year, while Oasis star Liam Gallagher won the prize for best haircut.

1 dead in SoCal wildfire; 20 homes destroyed
Body found in burned house
Firefighters found a dead body in a burned house Monday as they raced the winds to contain Southern California wildfires that destroyed 20 homes and threatened several hundred more in rural areas.
Winds gusting to 25 mph were expected in the afternoon in southeastern San Diego County, where a 3-square-mile fire churned slowly through hilly brushlands in a desert area near the U.S.-Mexico border.
It's too soon to know the gender of the body found Monday inside a home on Tierra del Sol Road near Campo, said Cal Fire spokesman Richard Cordova.
Sheriff's officials say neighbors were worried about a missing man who refused to evacuate and whose car was still at his home.
U-T San Diego described the man as an 82-year-old with one leg.
The 2,000-acre blaze was 10 percent surrounded Monday.
About 80 homes were ordered evacuated near the Campo Indian Reservation.
"The winds are picking up, but we still have cooler temperatures" and firefighters hoped to make progress, said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Capt. Mike Mohler.
The fire has destroyed 20 homes, damaged 10 and burned 15 outbuildings since it erupted Sunday, Mohler said.
An evacuation center was set up at a high school in the nearby community of Pine Valley.
Many residents gathered at the Golden Acorn Casino, which also served as the command post for firefighters, to learn whether their homes were still standing.
Christopher Kirchner told U-T San Diego that the place he rents was about 200 feet from a residence that burned down.
"I was just talking to some of my neighbors," Kirchner said. "They were crying and saying they had no place to go. We've heard rumors that our place is still standing, but nobody will tell us anything."
Farther north, a 150-acre wildfire in Riverside County is about 90 percent contained.
It had been reduced mainly to embers but still posed a potential threat to as many as 200 homes in the Murrieta area if afternoon winds pushed it over fire lines, Murrieta Fire Chief Matt Shobert said.
The cause of both fires was under investigation.
Elsewhere in the West, major wildfires in Washington on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range were relatively calm, but smoke continued to blanket some communities Monday.
The two largest fires were reported as bigger in size due mostly to better mapping and the use of burnouts to create fire lines, officials said.
The Wenatchee Complex of fires was reported Monday morning at 82 square miles, while the Table Mountain fire was reported at nearly 57 square miles in size.
State officials said air quality in the Wenatchee and Cashmere areas remains in the "hazardous" category, while many other Eastern Washington communities have "unhealthy" air quality.
Air quality was not expected to improve much Monday.
In Montana, Musselshell County lifted an evacuation order for about 50 homes southeast of Roundup after a 5 1/2-square mile wildfire was reported about 60 percent contained.
Fire officials hope to have the blaze fully under control by Tuesday.
The human-caused blaze ignited Saturday and is under investigation.

A Glamour Photographer is someone who specializes in a certain type of photography that utilizes models in a way that highlights their best natural features in a flattering and artistic manner. A Glamour Photographer can act in many different ways, doing everything from stylized senior pictures for high schoolers to layouts in magazines. There are many different examples of work done by one glamour photographer or another all over the magazine stands.
Many of the glamour photography is rather demure, but some of it can also be quite racy. Most glamour photographers feel that their pictures are a form of art that explore the human race using various styling techniques that highlight the person who is their subject. Photographers will bring out a certain aspect of the model using composition, lighting, and other aspects to draw attention to that one angle. The glamour photographer is sometimes connected to sensual images, but the pictures do not always have to be sensual in composition.
A glamour photographer can work with color as well as black and white images. The stages and settings can also be used in a variety of ways. Some photographers like to work with backdrops within a studio so they can control the amount of light that the room has on the subject. Studios also tend to make the model comfortable since the temperatures and other variations can also be controlled. Some glamour photographers like working outside as well where the pictures are more varied and the environment is uncontrollable.
It is possible for a glamour photographer to take a glamorous picture of anyone, though, of course, some end up better than others. A good glamour photographer, however, should be able to pick out and highlight the best features on any subject from a teen star to an older woman. Subjects often enjoy glamour photography because they leave the session feeling good about themselves and the natural beauty and unique features that they have, which the glamour photographer was able to highlight. These glamour pictures likely will become fast favorites.
As is true with all photography, some glamour photographers use Photoshop to highlight certain aspects of the photo later. Many models will even pose for glamour shots in a nude or semi-nude state, though none of their intimate areas actually show. The glamour photographer will use things like scarves or other accessories to highlight certain parts while covering others. These photos often end up feeling very glamorous and obscure at the same time. One of the most popular examples of this type of glamour photography is a picture done of Marilyn Monroe in 1953 where Marilyn was shot nude with certain props hiding her in an artful manner.
Glamour Photographer – www.guyviauheadshots.com is a website about Guy Viau, a professional headshot photographer who works with dancers, athletes, and other performers who need professional headshots or glamour photos.

Jurassic Coast
A recent road trip to Devon and Cornwall taking in parts of the Jurassic Coast.
A UNESCO world heritage site its not hard to understand why once you have visited. You can read more of its fascinating history by clicking this link. The plan was to head for Lyme Regis but as the weather was good and a Bank Holiday weekend to boot it was packed. Stopped long enough though to catch a pic along the beach. Heading off we happened upon a quaint and quintessentially English village where I stopped to buy a paper and I reckoned if you want to find where the locals go to avoid the crowds what better than to ask. the shop keeper. Helped by her grandson they both conversed between themselves for a few minutes one suggestion this place and the other that until they both settled on Tyneham.
Lyme Regis Coastline
I had seen any mention of Tyneham on the list of places to visit along the Jurassic coast so was immediately fascinated. It turned out to be far more intriguing than I could initially have imagined, or hoped for. It transpired that Tyneham had been evacuated by order of the war office in December 1943. The abandoned village of Tyneham has stood quiet, ghostly and forlorn since. You can read more of the fascinating history of this place by clicking this link. Access is not always available and the entire area around it is still used today as a military firing and practice range. During military maneuvers the road is closed to traffic, best to check in advance if it is open. Luckily for me the road was open on the day I visited.
As a consequence, whilst all other places along the Jurassic coast were crowded, Tyneham was virtually empty apart from the savvy locals we joined. A beautiful place with a few pictures below to prove it!

Autumn Migration Watch: Saturday 12th October
An early start (8am) saw an intrepid band of 20 plus our leader, Andrew Grace, gather outside the Visitor Centre for a gentle walk through the Country Park in search of Autumn migrants. We were also joined by Alan Parker who had walked from Fairlight to join us and had spotted several different species along the way.
As we waited to start our walk, we were amazed to see several flocks of Ring Ouzels flying overhead heading to the East, the first of many such sightings that morning leading to a grand total of 205. This was agreed to be a very exceptional event and we felt really privileged to have witnessed such an uncommon spectacle which mirrored the exceptional passage of Jays seen at last year's Migration Watch.
The weather was fairly calm and sunny after the heavy overnight rain and Andrew explained how the convergence of weather fronts was affecting the flight patterns of various migratingbirds.
The total count for the morning was:
Redwing 47, Song Thrush 35, Ring Ouzel 205, Fieldfare 100, Blackbird 1, Mistle Thrush 3, Skylark 15, House Martin 100, Swallow 10, Chiffchaff 6, Reed Bunting 5, Pied Wagtail 2, Meadow Pipit 25, Goldcrest 3, Linnet 35, Chaffinch 20, Brambling 2, Redpoll 1, Siskin 5, Goldfinch 5.
All in all, a most enjoyable and informative morning and Andrew was given a warm round of thanks on our return to the Visitor Centre.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Ind. (June 16, 2015) -- The deaths of an IU student and his brother prompted a warning from law enforcement and a mother for whom the story hit close to home.
Nick Savage, 19, and his brother Jack Savage, 18, were found dead Sunday morning in their northern Indiana home. Police believe the two overdosed on a lethal combination of prescription pills during a party in the area. Toxicology reports are pending.
Dr. Angi Fiege is one of many who can't believe the double tragedy.
"I'm heartbroken for the parents, who I'm sure raised their sons to be good, responsible people and taught them everything they could," Fiege said.
Fiege's daughter, Rachael, died in 2013 during her first week on campus at Indiana University. Fiege was at a party where alcohol was being consumed when she fell down a flight of stairs and hit her head. Friends didn't know how bad her injury was so they put her to bed. The next morning, Fiege went into cardiac arrest and never woke up.
"It's a sadness that will never go away, just like it doesn't go away for us. I cry every day," Angi Fiege said.
Stories like these are on the verge of happening again, close to home, said Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox.
"If we can stop one or slow one down, because of our efforts or other law enforcement's efforts, that's what we're here for," Cox said.
He's talking about underage parties. His department has busted three since the beginning of June, each with dozens of young adults and teenagers.
At one, held in an empty Johnson County home, a deputy used strong language to describe the party in a police report.
"I witnessed conditions that are appealing only to the standards of underage partiers, wild animals and vagrants. In addition to the cesspool, I also witnessed alcohol containers in the open," that deputy said.
It may seem like an overstatement, but Cox said it takes a lot to get teens - and even their parents - to understand the danger.
"The reason we're (busting them) is to hopefully save a son or a daughter that may be passed out inside that home," Cox said.
Fiege is taking a similar message throughout the state, through her organization Rachael's First Week. She promotes an acceptance that kids will be kids and make poor choices. She's hoping to teach them how to look out for each other in dangerous situations and change the perception surrounding underage drinking and drug use.
"It's hurtful to think that our kids could engage in behaviors like this and this is where it's important for parents to drive home the points that these are dangerous things. ... These are good kids coming from good families and the perception that these are kids that have lived their life on the line is not true," Fiege said.
For more information on the dangers of underage alcohol and drug consumption, as well as the law and resources, go to the Rachael's First Week website here.

In April I wrote an article for Training Industry discussing the importance of L&D programming to ensure you have the best and the brightest talent in-house. As we learned from LinkedIn's 2018 Workplace Learning Report, the most critical skills employees need to learn are leadership abilities—and, according to the research, training in soft skills is currently the most crucial area for talent development today.
You can develop your programming in-house, or you can outsource it. The decision on whether or not to outsource may depend on your organization's resources. However, finding the best facilitators for your program is essential, and finding the right leadership trainers can be a daunting task.
However, I can help. In my more than 20 years of experience training, teaching and facilitating for some of the top companies in the world, I've selected leadership trainers for large-scale projects, and have learned some valuable lessons.

Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram, a Buddhist temple (wat) in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's best known temples and a major tourist attraction. It typifies Bangkok's ornate style of high gables, stepped-out roofs and elaborate finials. Monastic life at Wat Bencha differs from most other temples in that lay people come to the temple to present food and alms to the monks rather than the monks going out and walking through the community as they do at most other Thai temples.

2. Malaysia
That's not the case with Malaysia. In 2009, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak established a sovereign wealth fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) to help the country attract foreign investment and boost its economy. Long story short, by 2015, 1MDB owed investors $11 billion. As investigations of the state fund got underway, it was revealed that $681 million dollars had been deposited into Najib's personal account. The prime minister copped to the money transfer, but claimed it was a "gift" from the Saudi royal family, about $620 million of which he says he has returned. Two weeks ago, the 1MDB investigation uncovered that the total routed into Najib's personal account was actually about $1 billion.
Malaysia is a de facto one-party country. All of the country's six post-independence prime ministers have come from the United Malays National Organization (UMNO). That's why Najib owes his position to his party, not to the Malaysian people—good news for a man currently polling at 23 percent, the lowest ever for a Malaysian head of government. He has spent the last half-decade strengthening his position within UMNO, and the past year since the 1MDB scandal broke purging his party of potential adversaries. This past summer, Najib fired his attorney general, who had been leading the 1MDB investigation. Malaysia exemplifies how corruption drives can fall short in countries with a single political party and weak governing institutions.
Najib Razak is to your left standing in the back row with
his parents, Tun Razak and Toh Puan Rahah, and siblings.
Najib is the one in the Red Batik Silk Shirt with his siblings and
mother Toh Puan Rahah in happier times.
The whole damm gang.....what would I give to find out, whom, among them are living off the proceeds of Najib's corruption!

Back Talk - February 2001
SKIING seems to really be hurting for material and editors. Shawn Magee's "Ball Busted" October 2000 was a disgusting piece of journalism. Do you think that is really what SKIING readers are interested in? My children read your magazine to find out about the latest equipment. Not anymore!
Carla Shockey
via the Internet
Let's see now, in just under a year, SKIING has run articles on booze in the Mormon Temple, hookers at ski resorts, and the gay ski week at Aspen.
If you are trying to catch up with Penthouse,then you're doing a great job. If not, then quit printing these raggy stories. I don't fill my home with this kind of trash for my grandkids to see when we all go skiing. And, personally, I don't want to read about the alternative lifestyles you are writing about. Stick to what you are supposed to print in a national magazine and stop trying to titillate your readers with such trash.
Alonzo F. Clayton
via the Internet
I continually look forward to the day each month when my SKIING Magazine arrives in the mail. SKIING's talented (and hilarious) staff provides more truthful coverage of more interesting topics that relate to skiers of all ages than any of your competitors. I love to read all the letters from those people who have nothing better to do than complain about the language and content in SKIING. They give us other readers a good laugh and miss out on the best reading you can find about winter adventure anywhere. Your recommendations for value, great parties, and great snow have played a significant role in my decisions about where to ski. Your efforts should be applauded rather than nitpicked by those lacking a sense of humor.
Abby Guinan
Plymouth, New Hampshire
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to complain about your magazine. This magazine is no more inappropriate than a PG movie. It's not like it has tips on the right moves in bed; it has tips on skiing. So people, just relax and stop being so sensitive. If you can read, you're old enough to handle an article about a prank or a picture of a beer. And if you don't like the article, you could always turn the page.
Jamie Putnam
Albany, New York
I'd just like to let you all know that your magazine is great. I'm 15 and have been reading SKIING for five years now. As an experienced skier (11 years), I have a great appreciation for a magazine that represents the essence of skiing and the culture surrounding it. All of those parents who think SKIING is corrupting young kids should take a look at primetime TV.
Ryan Chapman
Somewhere in Alaska
I just got my newest issue of SKIING November 2000. As always, my first stop was the Back Talk section. Although it's noble of you to publish complaints from your readers, I feel compelled to tell these people to get real.
On the topics of sex, drugs, alcohol, and language: Generations X and Y like to have fun, they swear, they drink, and we all know that sex sells -- it's used in every ad the world over. This is the new ski world. Get used to it.
On the topic of gay events: Hello! Go to any larger resort's website -- they all have gay ski weeks. It may come as a surprise to God-fearing, white, middle-class family folk out there, but you're not the only skiers in the world.
And for those of you who'll read this and get judgmental: I'm a 31-year-old white woman who learned to ski as an adult. I have become an avid skier. I read SKIING because it is interesting, informative, and sexy!
Kiersten Kaye

Taos marketing manager J.P. Rael was quoted in "Loose Lips" SKIING Scene, March/April 2000 as saying, "The day Kentucky Fried Chicken starts serving burgers, we'll open to snowboarding." Well, guess what, J.P.? KFC partnered with A&W in one Georgia location and is now serving burgers. More A&W/KFCs are planned.
Karen Walch
via the Internet
Interestingly enough, J.P. no longer works at Taos. -- Ed.
I noticed a slight contradiction in the December 2000 issue. In "How Safe is Skiing?" it says that to avoid ACL injuries, "Don't try to arrest your slide by engaging your ski edge if you fall." Then, the Private Lessons section "Self-Arrest on the Steeps" says to engage your ski edge to arrest your slide.
To clarify, self-arrest can be life saving in narrow chutes or steep backcountry terrain but is completely unnecessary on most groomed slopes. Both articles should have included a disclaimer to that effect.
Steven Segall
via the Internet
Well said, Mr. Segall. You must pick up a lot of survival skills from all those action flicks you do. -- Ed.

text: sarah25 0 Posted September 21, 2012 I'm 22 and have mild-moderate adult acne that usually flares up in the summer because I work outside and sweat a lot, etc (blah). I'm currently trying to clear up my most recent break out, which was a pretty bad one on my lower cheeks. I'm on Epiduo and have been for exactly a month. I had a bad IB from it but that has since calmed down, and my redness is finally starting to subside a bit. I'm not getting as many pimples but my skin definitely isn't clear. Anyway, my biggest issue is one spot on my right cheek. Since this breakout started, I've had a cluster of VERY painful papules.. about 3-4 in the same spot. And every time one starts to go away, ANOTHER one comes back. It looks gross but it mostly just painful. And the Epiduo hasn't done anything for it. I've tried antibiotics and no luck, and am just starting YAZ so I'm hoping that may help. I'm also on Omega 3, Zinc, and a couple probiotics because I'm not eating dairy but want the good bacteria because I've heard it can do wonders. Anyone have ANY suggestions for this problem area? Is it just something I have to accept? Its BEYOND annoying when the rest of your face is slowly clearing up and this one spot just won't go away. It looks terrible and most of all is just uncomfortable. The slightest brush against it with my hand and I almost cry. Thanks for any help guys.

This is the egg laying season for the giant Leather back turtles called "Tortue Luth" in french Guiana. Along with our FLS guides, on 08 th, 09th and 11th of may, some specialists from TsSKB Progress went to AWALA YALIMAPO, a village at the mouth of the river Maroni, a famous spot for the turtles to egglay.
The day after, still with our guide, it was a visit to the Caïman Island where they observed one of the most fierced predator of french Guiana: "le Caïman" a cousin of the alligator and the crocodile.

text: After riding Minsk in Vietnam with Digby and the boys, we flew to Vientiane and rented Baja 250's from PVO. Thanks, David, for your help, advise and especially your outstanding Laos map. All your suggestions for riding routes, guest houses & eateries were right on. Enjoyed meeting you for breakfast at the Scandian Bakery. Also, your buddy Stan www.laophoto.com was very helpful & a great guy. The Laos ride was a true adventure, no safety issues & your map is very accurate. The boat ride on the Mekong from Luang Prabang is a must, the slow boat, not the fast noisy ones. Who would not enjoy the Night Market in L.P. It's hard to beleive but the hospital at Phonsavan came in very handy when Rudy, my riding buddy, had a major reaction from a bee sting. The doctor, nurses, administrator & pharmacy took good care of Rudy (total cost was $.87 for services & perscription). Really it was less that $1.00 US dollar. Also the guest house at Phou Koun, 2nd story room with view?? was $3.00 a night with wall to wall bed (small room) & the bathroom down the hall had unlimited water for showers & toilet, a ladle in a 55 gallon drum of water. My wife, riding her own Baja, had a ball. After riding bikes to all the corners of the earth, we are heading back to Laos in Jan 2006. Thanks David & hope to see you again in Chaing Mae.

Lead by parish priest, Monsignor Brian Arahill and a dedicated team, a development fund has been established to meet the required upgrade costs of $825,000. A budget blowout has meant a $135,000 short fall. The church appreciates that prayers can only go so far and some practical steps are required. To co-incide with the 75 Anniversay, an anniversay dinner and auction called the Roof Shout will be hosted at the Ellerslie Conference centre on Friday 13 October.
When I learnt of the budget shortfall a prompt email to Monsignor Brian Arahill bought a smile to the committe faces, as we offered a free auction item in the way of a 2 hour SimDeck Virtual GP Event for the winning bidder valued at $700.
"I felt it was a way we could support the church as earlier in the year, SimDecks parent owner, ICE AV Technology Ltd had to perform some major remedial and installation work in the santuary area using our ICE Digital Daytime Screen. It turned out to be a challenging job, first designing and then installing an automatic system 5m up the inner sanctuary wall. We had to be concerned that the weight of the system did not actually pull out one of the filled in brick walls and yet at the same time met with Historic Places Trust acceptance.
This Friday the SimDeck PET250 simulator will be setup in the Convention entrance area and as guests arrive for the gala evening function they will be able to see and hear the race car simulator in action. We hope it will inspire the guests to fully participate in the auction as they bid for the SimDeck Virtual Grand Prix.

Concord Regional Airport Update: A Flight Plan for the Future
Just a few weeks into his new role as Aviation Director of Concord Regional Airport and Dirk B. Vanderleest is already off to a flying start.
"Working for a city is different than working in the private sector, so I've been getting to know the staff and how things are done here," he said. "What I have learned already is we're a lean, mean fighting machine."
JQF: North Carolina's 5th Largest Airport
Owned and operated by the City of Concord, Concord Regional Airport is a 24-hour, full service Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) located in the heart of North Carolina's booming I-85 corridor. Open since November 1994, the city built the airport to help boost economic development and accommodate general aviation traffic in the Charlotte region.
A member of the Air Elite network, the airport features 25 acres of ramp space, five large hangars, an FAA 139 certification, air traffic control services and a 7,400-foot runway. It also serves general aviation needs, including corporate, private and government, and serves as the "welcome center" for commercial aviation and charter flights.
Other business services include flight schools, aircraft repair and cleaning, aerial photography and filming, and aircraft sales. Additionally, Concord Regional Airport is located near several attractions, including Charlotte Motor Speedway and Concord Mills.
Concord Airport Business Park and RiverOaks Corporate Center are two large master-planned industrial parks in close proximity to the airport. The parks offer more than 400,000 square feet of available space, as well as another 1.6 million square feet of planned space.
In December 2013, Allegiant Air began offering nonstop services from Concord to Orlando, Fla. Additional cities were added soon after, followed by the eagerly anticipated opening of a commercial service terminal in September 2016.
Significant Economic Impact
In 2016, the North Carolina Department of Transportation noted Concord Regional Airport's economic impact exceeded $160 million annually – a substantial return on the city's investment.
"When you look at the history of the airport and the growth that has transpired in Concord and the surrounding area, the airport is such a smart economic development component," Vanderleest said. "And, we're optimally located because we have easy access to I-85, uncongested and available airspace, and water, sewer and infrastructure already in place."
Looking Ahead with an Airport Master Plan
Nearly 40 stakeholders from the city, TSA and commercial and general aviation gathered in late September for a kickoff meeting and "visioning session" to discuss the airport's history, challenges to be addressed and prospective opportunities. Once updated, the Master Plan will serve as a guiding document for the airport's future needs and development.
Vanderleest noted that as Charlotte-Douglas International Airport grows, there are opportunities to move some of that activity and general aviation business to Concord. "We've got some great airports in this area that are very competitive, and we like that – it keeps us on our toes," he said.
The City of Concord's beneficial partnership with Allegiant also will continue as both organizations explore future business growth.
"One of the things city leadership is looking forward to is additional markets in the northeast," he said. "But, like anything else in business, you have to look at what numbers you can quantify for making an investment - whether it's adding a new city or increasing frequency of destinations."
Continued Improvements
Since 1991, Concord Regional has received more than $85 million in capital improvement grants, including initial airport construction, a runway extension, apron and taxiway improvements, and the addition of the commercial service terminal.
Several upcoming capital improvements include: runway strengthening, apron and taxi lane rehabilitation and Engineering Material Arrest System to improve runway safety area.
"As we look at the next five years of growth, we'll continue to make airfield and site improvements," Vanderleest said. "We're positioning ourselves to market and grow that, so when companies look at North Carolina this is the area they want to consider."
Settling In
Now that Vanderleest has made a smooth landing in Cabarrus County, he's looking forward to settling down with his wife, Anne, a genealogist who is doing volunteer work with the Cabarrus County Library, in their Concord home.
"We really love this area and its convenient location and look forward to traveling to many North Carolina destinations," he said. "I've been in the aviation business for 30 years, so I have a real passion for it. This new position is a great opportunity and fit for us."

With liposuction, the extra fat is removed. In most patients, this yields a very nice improvement with only a few small dots remaining at the suction site.
Some extra fat and some extra skin is where most people find themselves. This is where experience counts and you should have a detailed discussion with the doctor about your goals. Many people do not want the skin scar associated with a regular arm lift and decide to have Smartlipo. While it will not completely solve the problem, the advantage of Smartlipo is that the laser helps to tighten the skin after removing the unwanted fat.
If you have loose hanging skin with little fat, liposuction of any kind is not for you. Only removing the skin with an Arm Lift will solve this. This will leave a linear scr on the inside of the arm.
In either case this procedure takes about an hour, makes a nice difference and involves a relatively short recovery.

Osoyoos, British Columbia is fast becoming a wine lover's destination. Still relatively unknown in the grand scheme of things, the Osoyoos wine industry has grown rapidly in the past 3 years. There are easily 50 vineyards within 25 miles of downtown. Despite the relatively young age of the vines, they are producing some fine wines, especially their dessert and ice wines.
A small town in the Canadian desert (that's right, they have a desert) Osoyoos is a summer tourist destination for those in the know. The environment is perfect for growing wine grapes and the sunny days extend well into fall. It combines wonderful landscapes, unique wines, and all the activities you would expect from a town on the shore of a large lake. In the fall, the foliage is wonderful, and in my opinion, October is the time to go. Yes, the summers are warm and that makes the lake more appealing, and yes, more of the wineries are open in the summer, but by October the tourists are gone, the prices drop, and a slower more enjoyable atmosphere takes over. The Silver Sage Winery (among others) is open year round. The Burrowing Owl winery has rooms to rent in their Guest House, located in the vineyard.
The Watermark Beach Resort sits right downtown and on the lake. They offer large 1 and 2 bedroom suites, and in October I got a 1-bedroom suite on Expedia for $129US/night ($20 less than on the Watermark site). Suites offer a fully provisioned kitchen (plates, silverware, pots, pans, etc), washer/dryer, hardwood floors, and beautiful lake views. For you TV watchers, the only downside to the rooms are the small TVs (32in in my suite) in large rooms. The suite I had was easily 900 square feet.
The closest commercial airport is in Kelowna, about 2 hours drive. You will need a car in Osoyoos. The border crossing at Osoyoos is small and can be busy during peak season, but by October they see little traffic, even on the weekends. I would have been through in 5 minutes had my large collection of photo equipment not caught their eye. Two hours later I had convinced them I was not traveling to Canada for work and they let me through.

It's hard to find good, loose organic green tea. Or at least that's what I thought until I found Mountain Rose Herbs organic Green Sencha Tea ($15.50 for 4 ounces); I brew this tea in the morning and then ice it—so I can drink it throughout the day. I don't put anything in it (I'm a purist!), but some may not like sencha's "astringent" (as it's called) taste.
As an FYI: Sencha tea is a tea that's grown in full sun—as compared with Matcha tea, which is grown in shade. Some experts say that, because it's grown in the sun, sencha tea has more catechins (or EGCG, a type of antioxidant) than matcha or teas grown in the shade. It's these antioxidants that are so critical to our health. Studies have shown that EGCG has anti-fungal (against things like yeast infections), anti-viral (against hepatitis B, herpes, and adenovirus—a common virus that causes respiratory infections), and anti-bacterial properties.
Pretty amazing stuff.
Now, this kind of tea does contain caffeine, so if you're trying to steer clear of caffeine, then you can take the Green & White Tea Max from Pastore Formulations (recommended to me by Jeffrey Morrison, M.D., one of the top integrative medicine doctors in New York City); $48.99 for 60 capsules. The capsules have no caffeine.

Get Beauty__ New Skin Analysis Tool Knows Your Skin Better Than You Do
WAY is a new product and app that knows everything you want to know about your skin. The small device (small enough to carry around with you) measures the moisture of your skin and the environment, among other things. WAY then makes personal recommendations about all sorts of things including how often you should be applying moisturizer and when you should change products.
WAY doesn't stop at telling you if your skin is dry or oily, though. It can detect dry patches on your face to tell you where you need extra moisturizer, as well as moisture in the environment so you know when you need to use a barrier cream. In addition to moisture, WAY also measures age, oil levels and UV levels to tell you when to apply extra sunscreen. WAY can even determine whether your current skincare regime is effective, and recommend when you should be switching products.
If you've ever wished you could carry your dermatologist around with you all the time, you basically can now.

text: Chemical Testing in South Carolina Columbia DUI Lawyer Chemical tests consist of a number of different processes, and they are designed to scientifically determine an individual's BAC (blood alcohol content). If you are arrested for DUI, then you may be subject to chemical testing in order to determine your intoxication level, and possibly to have your charges increased. Facing charges of drunk driving can pose significant difficulties in your life, your future could be damaged, your career could be severely hurt, and you could suffer other consequences if you are convicted. You need a lawyer on your side who knows the process, that has experience in this area, and that can fight aggressively for your rights. The legal team at The Laubshire Law Firm, LLC is dedicated to serving clients and helping them achieve the results that they need. You need to retain the services of Attorney Laubshire as soon as possible. The sooner you retain his skilled services, the more time he and his team will have to build a strong defense of your case. It is important to recognize the significance of chemical testing in the situation that you face. Breath & Blood Tests Two of the more common types of chemical test that are used to determine BAC are the breath and the blood test. Datamaster Breath Test In the state of South Carolina, the only legal breath test device is known as the Datamaster (DMT). This type of breath test utilizes an infrared technology in order to calculate the amount of alcohol in a driver's breath. A breathalyzer is used to determine the amount of alcohol in a person's system, by a reading of alcohol on their breath. While this may seem like a highly scientific form of testing, it is crucial to recognize that the readings obtained through this test are often highly unreliable. Breath tests measure the amount of alcohol on a person's breath, therefore the reading can be drastically affected by a small amount of alcohol still remaining in a person's mouth. Blood or Urine Test If you are unconscious or otherwise unable to provide a breath sample, or if you request a blood test after taking a breath test, a blood test may be taken from you at a local hospital. Likewise, if you provide a breath sample of alcohol below a prosecutable limit, but have provided the arresting officer with evidence that you may be under the influence of drugs or other intoxicants, you may be given a urine test at a local hospital to check for the presence of drugs in your system. While these tests have certain advantages and disadvantages over the breath test, it is crucial to recognize that when people are conducting the test and handling evidence, there is always the possibility of human error. Former DUI Prosecutor Attorney Laubshire is a skilled Columbia DUI lawyer, and he has the experience that you need on your side. He is a former DUI prosecutor where he practiced in pursuing charges against an individual to secure a conviction. This is a tremendous advantage to you as he has spent many hours on the other side of the courtroom. He knows how to build a defense of your case that is specifically designed to fight the allegations against you, and to attack the prosecution's case. Your situation is important to him, and you will receive representation that is based off of hard work and diligence. In addition to his experience as a prosecutor, Attorney Laubshire also has ten years of experience as a local police officer. He knows the signs of intoxication; he also knows how police officers will gather evidence against an individual. You need to ensure that you have experienced representation on your side, and this is what you will receive when you choose The Laubshire Law Firm, LLC. They also offer a free case evaluation so that you may receive some information regarding how they may approach your case before making any financial commitment to the firm. Contact the Columbia firm today to retain their services and fight the criminal charges against you.
