As part of the conversion process, condo lottery winners are required to submit tenant intent to purchase forms. These forms must be signed by at least 40% of the occupants (renters or owners). These forms disclose that the signer intends to buy their particular unit as a condominium once converted. However the signer reserves the right to later decline to buy the condominium.
Condo Conversion requires processing by both the Department of Public Works and the Planning Department. Typically the entire process takes between 12 and 24 months to complete. Buildings with 5 or more units take longer as they require processing by additional city and state entities.
The San Francisco condo conversion lottery is held annually, typically in late winter. In 2006, lottery tickets cost $150. The lottery itself grants conversion rights to up to 200 units. It is important to note that it is 200 UNITS, not buildings. In actuality the number of buildings that actually convert is approximately a fourth of that number. Tickets may be purchased without proof of qualification for conversion. However, if selected the owner will have to meet condo conversion requirements prior to converting. Lotto tickets are generally available for approx 60 days prior to the lottery with the deadline to purchase tickets ending about two weeks prior.
What steps remain after an application is approved?There are a few remaining steps once a building owner has completed all the requisite steps to get a condo conversion application approved. The first step is to have the survey map notarized with signatures from all owners (lenders must sign as well for buildings with 5-6 units). This notarized survey map is then sent back to the City along with the updated title report, certification that all inspection work has been completed, and certification showing all property taxes are current. Once the updated survey map and CC&Rs are officially recorded, the building officially becomes a condominium.
The costs associated with converting to a condominium are far more than the $150 condo lottery entry fee. Costs include:City Fees - The city of San Francisco charges an inspection fee ranging from $511 for two units to $852 for six units, an application fee starting at $7700, a recording fee of approximately $110, and of course the condo lottery fee of $150. State Fees - The State of California requires an application for conversion of 5 or more units. The application fee is approximately $1700. The State also requires a formal budget which can cost a few thousand dollars if prepared by a professional. Surveyor Fees - Surveyors are used to prepare the parcel maps. They start at approximately $4500 and increase as the building size increases.

Kerry Katona confirms she's left Atomic kitten after claims she was 'kicked out' over foul-mouthed feud with Natasha Hamilton
The singer and former prawn ring flogger is said to be "gutted" after her bandmates took the decision to remove her from the band over the insults she made in Manchester
KERRY Katona has confirmed she's been kicked out of Atomic Kitten after branding her bandmate Natasha Hamilton a "toxic c***".
The singer and former prawn ring flogger is said to be "gutted" after her bandmates took the decision to remove her from the band over the insults she made in Manchester, as exclusively revealed by The Sun Online earlier this month.
A source told The Daily Star Sunday: "Natasha has ruled out singing with Kerry again. Liz normally stays out of the drama, but has sided with Natasha, and Kerry has once again found herself out of the band."
The source added: "Kerry knew she'd gone too far, but she didn't think she would get chucked out of the band. She's absolutely gutted."
Kerry has now taken to Instagram to confirm the news, writing: "Gutted that I am no longer a part of Atomic Kitten!! Wish the girls all the love and happiness in the world."
She captioned the statement: "Was very proud to be the founder member of AK! Had some amazing times with the kittens! And gutted not to be a part of that no more! I guess I'll keep to knock knock jokes from now on."
The newspaper even claims the fallout could see Jenny Frost, who originally replaced Kerry when she first left the band in 2001, return to join Natasha and Liz.
Kerry's previous exit from the band the first time saw them go on to have a string of number-one hits, success the band has failed to match with Kerry as a member.
In the onstage rant - as the trio judged a drag queen contest - she also made references to her bankruptcy and tried to hurry the show up because she was "only being paid until midnight".
Kerry also tried to hurry along her fellow judges, and said she was desperate to leave, adding: "Will you hurry up, I haven't got all f***ing night. I've only been paid until 12 o' clock. You've got ten minutes left, for f***'s sake. I thought I could talk."
"Social services are babysitting my kids, for f***s sake." It was a joke - as Kerry had revealed earlier in the night on Instagram that her kids were at home with her mum.
When another judge offered her "an Atomic Kitten critique – lose the ginger!" Kerry shot back: "I'm not being funny, Atomic Kitten – I always saw her as Toxic c***."
She went on to joke that the organisers had turned off her mic "like Liz and Tash used to", and that she couldn't sing.
She also attempted to lead a singalong to The Tide Is High and asked the crowd: "Who the f*** is Gemma Collins?" - the club's original choice to host - before she fell down a hole onstage at the Radio One Teen Awards.
"It was really shocking," an onlooker at the drag competition at Kiki in Manchester told The Sun Online.
"As a fan, I found it really sad. She seemed to be struggling to stay alert at some points, and kept swigging from a clear bottle underneath the table – it looked like water, but she didn't seem sober. She didn't seem to be able to focus on what was happening and kept getting lost.
"There were some uncomfortable moments where she was joking about her kids – the crowd were booing her at some points."
Other fans took to Twitter to say: "Kerry Katona is Kerry Katona'd" and "Queen of making everyone in Kiki hate her".
However, it looks like Kerry had a good night – she Instagrammed a photo at the venue, captioned "having fun!"
Natasha has since denied the claims following Kerry's apparent confirmation.
She tweeted: "I haven't spoken to @KerryKatona7 over calling me C**t. I wasn't there so I let it go. So don't know where all these stories are coming...
"Liz and I have had Kerry's back since the day she came back to the band and have been there for her through thick and thing. We always will.
"As for kicking her out the band? Complete rubbish. Both Liz and I can't do any more gigs until mid-next year because we are in theatre shows."

Quite possibly the last post
I started this project back in October 2003 when online information about Scottish criminal justice was sparse and difficult to access.
CjScotland was encumbered with all manner of ambitions but there was no way of knowing then that social media and the taken-for-granted online presence of government, agencies and organisations would evolve as they have done. There was also no way of anticipating how the political talk about justice would change, in this jurisdiction at least, to a much more nuanced and progressive approach, albeit that there are still arguments to be won and the talk has not as yet been translated into substantial and irreversible change.
In recent years my energies have been diverted by teaching, book editing (see below) and my (voluntary) role as managing editor of the Scottish Justice Matters project. Inevitably this blog became neglected and so the time has come to make it clear, in case anyone stumbles on this pages, that there isn't going to be another update.
CjScotland will continue to develop on Twitter with media and source links to news and information about criminal justice in Scotland.
If you would like to read more about Scottish criminal justice in book form then have a look at Crime, Justice and Sociey in Scotland eds. Hazel Croall, Gerry Mooney and Mary Munro, Routledge (August 2015) and it predecessor, complementary volume, Criminal Justice in Scotland Willan (2010).
Best wishes

It does not command public confidence.
We are now in a position to end automatic early release for sexual offenders who are sentenced to more than four years and for serious violent offenders. That follows the work to stabilise the prison population and then reduce it over time by implementing other recommendations of the McLeish commission, such as introducing strong community-based sentences for less serious offenders.

Gene knockout results in increasing mouse spleen weight and reducing % eosinophi - (May/19/2014 )
Dear experts in immunology,
Recently our lab generated a gene knockout mouse. The KO animals are fertile and look completely normal except that they have heavier spleens and lower % eosinophils, which, we hope, are phenotypes. However, eosinophil #/uL in KO animal blood is not significantly different from that in wild type control mouse blood.
In case that a gene KO causes the spleen heavier or reduce % eosinophils, what test/experiments can I try? Since I and my lab have very limited knowledge on immunology, I need some help from immunology experts.
Thanks in advance.
Well you know what gene you knockouted.. there must have been some hypothesis, what does this gene does. If it's a signal pathway gene, in which processes and in which tissues it is involved..

As a crafter there isn't much more frustrating than potential customers thinking my prices should compete with the likes of a Wal-Mart or Target. We must clear this misconception by being clear that there is NO WAY my prices can could be competitive with mass production, it's simply not feasible.
I am not a corporation, factory or assembly line. I am not massively creating thousands of products a day to be sold to millions of people. I am creating something specifically for you with my own two hands and precious time that is usually customized specifically to your liking.
So now that we have that cleared up let's look into methods that may be used to generate your specific pricing.
Keep in mind customizations are just that, customed to the customer and so is pricing. Another common mistake is expecting the same price for a similar item another customer has had made. No two items or situations are alike and different things may factor into the prices like costs for materials, sizing, cost inflations and extra time to name a few.
If you are looking for a standard product be it a sewing product, jewelry, body product ect., then you can expect your pricing set similar to the method of the cost of materials x3.
If you want add-ons, changes to the way the product is usually made or any other customizations, then you should expect the price to increase to account for the extra cost of product/materials and labor.
Your price quote on customizations are an ESTIMATION ONLY because it is a never before made item, anything could be a factor like extra time spent or other materials needed.
A deposit of 90% is required up front for customizations with the remaining due upon delivery and no custom work will start or materials/products ordered until deposit is made. Upon drafting we will be clear on if there is a potential for there to be an extra cost before drawing an order and you will be notified of expected cost increases and amounts immediately. Agreements must be signed for custom work to ensure you understand what to expect from Aakasha's Naturals and that we have your ideas correct.
Full payment up front is required for standard work.
There are no refunds however, if there is an issue with your final product then do contact me privately to see if we can resolve it as your satisfaction is goal.
Items listed on my webpage or in my store are not a limitation to the items I create or have available so if you have something you desire, please make an inquiry.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your interest in Aakasha's Natural's Creations.

CloudForms unifies public and private clouds by leveraging work from the Apache DeltaCloud project.
Red Hat said that its Red Hat CloudForms, a new open source, hybrid cloud platform aimed at heterogeneous enterprise environments, is now generally available. The Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering provides so-called self-service access to enterprise applications and computing resources while maintaining the security, governance, and compliance disciplines of an IT-provisioned environment.
CloudForms unifies public and private clouds into a single system, explained Bryan Che, Red Hat senior director of cloud marketing, during a press conference. The platform accomplishes this in part by leveraging the open source Apache DeltaCloud project, which focuses on defining open standards and open APIs around cloud computing management.
"CloudForms takes advantage of the rich open source ecosystem that has developed around DeltaCloud...to be able to manage a richly diverse infrastructure," Che said. "Because you are using the open source set of APIs you have the freedom and flexibility to adapt your cloud to your choice of technology and infrastructure."
CloudForms is designed to track, register, instantiate and manage applications automatically through the entire appdev lifecycle and across disparate clouds, Che said -- from, say, development in a public cloud to QA in the corporate private cloud and security updates to apps running in production.
The system utilizes "application blueprints," which provide a templating language that describes how to instantiate an application in the cloud, Che said. CloudForms can take a blueprint that show up in its application catalog and deploy it into disparate cloud environments. The system builds to the native formats of various technologies to instantiate from the same definition, he said.
"From that same application blueprint, CloudForms will generate the blueprints, composed either by Red Hat or the administrator, and define everything that an application needs to run in a particular native environment," he said.
"An application blueprint provides a templating language that describes how to instantiate an application in the cloud," Che said. CloudForms maintains a catalogue of blueprints that it consults whenever an application is requested. "From a same application blueprint, you can manage the application across a diverse set of providers."
Che provided a demo of this blueprinting process, using an instance of WordPress deployed across three difference environments: Amazon Web Services, VMware's vSphere, and Red Hat's Virtualization platform.
"The role of enterprise IT is evolving," said Rachel Chalmers, infrastructure management analyst at The 451 Group, in a statement. "There's no doubt that end users want to help themselves to cloud-like compute resources, but the IT department still needs to centralize deployment, management and integration. A platform like CloudForms makes it possible for organizations to build clouds that span their in-place infrastructure and expose it to a new generation of developers and end users, all without relinquishing control."
CloudForms is built on the principles of openness described in the white paper, "Why the Future of the Cloud is Open," by Red Hat's cloud evangelist Gordon Haff. In a blog posted today, Haff declared that "a central piece" of Red Hat's cloud strategy "has always been hybrid cloud management software that spans both heterogeneous on-premise resources and public clouds running a variety of technology stacks."
Haff points to two other upstream projects for CloudForms: Aeolus, which provides the tools to describe the content of policies associated with services, and Katello, which provides the associated lifecycle management.

From the Archives : You're a Good Man, Charlie Haden
This issue [July and August 1991]—my seventh as BP Editor—was a milestone in our early days. In my "From the Editor" column, I said farewell to Tom Wheeler, the longtime Guitar Player Editor, who had hired me to run BP and served as our Editorial Director. Tom was a terrific mentor and friend, and he taught me many things about running a magazine that still serve me well. (Tom was leaving GP to teach journalism at the University of Oregon, where he's now a full professor.) For the cover story, Art Director Paul Haggard and I headed to L.A. for a photo shoot and interview with Stuart Hamm. Although his manager insisted on a stylist for the cover photo, Stu proved to be a wonderfully funny and unpretentious guy. (When I asked him about the recording sessions for his new album, The Urge, he said: "I'd be sitting there on my stool, with my cigarettes here and my glass of water there, with a wire into my headphones and a line into a tuner and the DI box. Within ten minutes, I'd be hopelessly wrapped up in cords. They'd have to come in and extract me from the chair.")
After that, Paul and I drove out to Charlie Haden's house in Malibu. I had long admired Charlie's strong, distinctive playing, and meeting him was one of the high points of my time at BP. I had the good fortune to talk with him several more times—my August 1996 Haden interview was my last BP cover story—but the opening of this '91 story is one of my favorite pieces of writing for the magazine. Hearing Charlie tell this story gave me chills, and I tried to get that emotion on the page. —Jim Roberts
Stepping to the microphone to introduce one of his compositions, Charlie Haden dedicates the song to the cause of freedom. A near-riot ensues, and the sound of the Ornette Coleman Quartet is almost drowned out by wild cheering. The next day, Haden is arrested and held by the secret police. After a harrowing night of interrogation, he is released and told to leave the country immediately.
The incident took place 20 years ago [1971] in Portugal, ruled at the time by a fascist government determined to retain its colonies in Africa. Haden was on a 14-country tour of Europe with a Newport Jazz Festival package that included the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, and others. Disturbed by the prospect of performing in a country with a repressive colonial regime, Charlie felt he had to act.
"I thought about refusing to play, but that would have put Ornette in an embarrassing position," he recalls, speaking slowly in a soft but firm voice. "I've been concerned all my life about human rights and racial equality. I knew I had to do something, so I asked Ornette if it would be all right to dedicate 'Song for Ché' to the black liberation movements in Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea-Bissau. He said, 'Yes.' I had been warned I might be shot immediately on the stage, but I decided to do it anyway."
This courageous decision typifies Haden's remarkable career: His dedication to creative music has always been matched by an equally fierce commitment to the cause of human rights. "I never sat down and said, 'Well, I'm going to become politically involved,'" he explains. "I grew up in the Midwest and the South, and all around was evidence of racism. I felt the injustice, and I just followed my feelings and tried to tell people how I felt."

All too often, one must ruthlessly and completely delete the past in order to move forward, whereas, especially in movies and music, there is often inspiration to be had by going back and delving into the past- the roots- and seeing how "back in the day" gave birth to Here In The Now.
Today, I found some photos on twitter I had never seen before, mainly of the Beatles, a few of Dylan and one of a young, bewitched, bothered and bewildered Mick Jagger staring at a picture of The Bob. It made me wonder about all that early music which they would have been listening to at that time and which led to them charting their own course into that great unknown where you often go despite seeing the Danger signs and are never too sure which way you land and where and with whom. Like a failed marriage, or love on the rocks.
With the early Beatles, "raw" is a word often used to describe their music- mainly covers that inspired some of their earliest originals and on which, over a very short period, they turned upside down and got to the bottom to get back to the top.
With George Martin by their side and acid and weed opening up the senses, "raw" turned into into trippy surrealism.
For example, one can listen to McCartney's cover of "Long Tall Sally" and see how it led to "I'm Down", returned as "Back In The USSR", "Lady Madonna" and "Helter Skelter".
As for Lennon, he was always unique even when covering songs like "Please Mr Postman", "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "Slowdown" which were, in many ways, the Soul Man Grandaddies to originals like the amazing, "All I Gotta Do", "You Can't Do That" which he replicated as "I Call Your Name" and "Come Together", which was really stoned down Chuckles Berry. Lennon was one helluva rhythm guitarist as he gave the songs a certain drive- a certain funk whereas that voice was and is as soulful as that of Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye. John Winston Lennon was a Liverpudlian soul man.
The Stones came out of the Blues that founder Brian Jones was listening to- Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Rufus Thomas- and the straight ahead rock and roll of Chuck Berry, which, Keith Richard, The Human Riff, took and turned into the band's heavily riff-driven classics- "The Last Time", "Satisfaction", "Gimme Shelter", and "Street Fighting Man".
Not too many other Rock bands have created such riff-laden song except, perhaps for Led Zeppelin and The Who, and whose musical influences were the same.
Like the flowers, where have all the great riffs gone? Gawd knows. The DIY world might have killed them off forever.
The thing is this: The creative process comes out of influences and those who inspire.
As one matures, this influence can come from the stories in your life, events, politics, sadness, happiness, religion, non-religion, friends, people.
But in music and movies, I personally believe that when you're feeling flat and plateaued out and lacking in inspiration, there's nothing better than watching a Hitchcock Retrospective or turning back those weighty hands of time, and listening to how Phil Spector built that Wall Of Sound by bumping tracks, the exacting science of Brian Wilson's epic "Pet Sounds", the soulful voice of Lennon singing "I'll Be Back", and then blasting out that great mashup called "Rolling Confusion" that brings together The Stones'"Street Fighting Man" and "Gimme Shelter" with the Temptations' "Ball Of Confusion". Liberating, invigorating, inspiring stuff.
You come into this world alone, you leave alone and in-between you create your legacy. And nobody and nothing's gonna change your world.

Kris - posted on 01/25/2010 ( 51 moms have responded )
I am 45 years old with a 6 year old daughter. My daughter is in 1st grade. The school she attends provdes each student with a behavior tag for the day. Green for good, yellow not good, red, getting worse, blue really bad.
For the past 2 weeks my daughter has not had a green day. She has been yellow and red. I have done time outs, taken ALL toys away, TV, games, friends, time outs and yes spanked (for those who don't believe in spanking, deal with it, I got spanked and survived, so will she.)
She was grounded for the past weekend. No TV, toys, friends, nothing. She was told to behave and listen to her teachers and warned more punishment would happen if she didn't get a green today.
She's blue. The worst color.
I don't know what to do. I have taken everything away except clothes and food. I have talked and talked and talked and have no other punishments left in me.
How do I get her to understand she HAS to listen and do as her teachers say? How do I get her to behave? She's a smart girl. She has no problems with any of the school work. If anything she is bored. The school system doesn't do G&T until later grades so she has to stay where she is. I have never had this trouble for so long before. She wasn't always on green every day, every week but she has never misbehaved for two weeks straight. At most a day or two of no greens and then back to green for a stretch.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get her to understand and what other punishments I can use?
FYI.. she already does chores, helps cook dinner, clean it up and behaves great the whole time. She always does with me and her Aunt. It is just at school I am having the problems.
Any information would be appreciated as I am at the end of the rope and have no where to go except further insane.

Lindemann Release Debut Album 'Skills In Pills'
First Ever English Language Record from the Rammstein Frontman out in the U.S. Today
Till Lindemann, lead singer of German metal band Rammstein, has today released his debut album as Lindemann, alongside Pain and Hypocrisy's Peter Tägtgren. The album, entitled Skills In Pills, is the first collaboration between the two and the first time English-speakers can fully appreciate Till Lindemann's utterly filthy and often hilarious lyrics, previously only heard in German. Skills In Pills features lead single "Praise Abort" (released just a few weeks ago with the Zoran Bihac-directed NSFW video), and 10 others, including "Golden Shower," "Fat," and "Ladyboy," rounding out the Lindemann debut.
"I planned to work with Peter on a song for a Pain record, and it turned into a record because we didn't stop working," Lindemann told Rolling Stone. "It was big-time fun and a big-time challenge to sing in English." While Tägtgren adds, "It's basically two idiots clunking their heads together, and all this stupid things comes out of it."
Skills In Pills available now:
Amazon: http://smarturl.it/sip.amzn.mp3
Warner Music store:http://smarturl.it/LindemannWMS
NSFW-video for "Praise Abort":
Skills In Pills has already received early praise, with ARTISTdirect saying "The blessed union of [Lindemann and Tägtgren] yields an undeniable, unbridled, and unique ten songs that make the repulsive strangely soothing. It's an artful balance," while Consequence of Sound says "[Lindemann]'s trademark baritone is ever present, whispering sadomasochistic sweet nothings into your ears as Tägtgren brings in bright synths and detuned guitars to play heavily and happily along with fist-pumping drum beats." And Revolver asserts, "Driving, dramatic, and dripping with sexual deviancy...Skills feels like a distillation of the Till Lindemann way of life, expressing both filth and purity, strength and weakness."
Like all the best stories of death and destruction, the tale of Lindemann begins with a night of total debauchery. "One evening [in Sweden], our keyboard player and I went out to a biker bar with some girls," says Lindemann, "but one of the bikers there was the ex-boyfriend of one of those girls and wanted to kick my ass. He had a lot of friends with him, so we thought we were doomed - but then who should walk into the bar but Peter Tägtgren? He told them that we were cool guys, and not to beat the shit out of us..."
From there, the two sat down to write just one song together, and soon Lindemann, the band, was born.
Skills In Pills is available in the following versions:

Did you catch the story in yesterday's media about the unprecedented ice melt occurring in Greenland this summer?
Just last week, a giant iceberg twice the size of Manhattan Island broken away from the end of Greenland's Petermann glacier. Now we are learning that a heat-dome that moved over Greenland on July 8
caused surface melt to soar from 40% to an unprecedented 97% in just
four days.
Apparently, this kind of melting does occur once
every 150 years on average, scientists have just never witnessed it before.
Greenland is changing very fast as its ice sheet as a whole is shrinking, melting, and reducing in size as the result of globally changing air and ocean temperatures.
Glaciologists are not panicking, but they are worried about Greenland's worrying potential to stoke sea levels in the coming decade.

Wearable technology is the use of a watch, bracelet or other accessory to track your health and fitness. Technology won't make you healthy, but can motivate you to take control of your health. Consider these helpful tips if you want to give wearable technology a try.
Comfort with technology
Some devices you can turn on and they run on their own. Other devices need more setup. Think about how much effort you want to put into your device before each use.
What data do you want to track?
Different devices can track a variety of useful data, like heart rate and movement. Consider which data is important to you, as well as how you want to access it. Do you prefer to see results on your device? Or would you rather see it on a smartphone or computer?
Tracking your fitness can be fun
Many devices help you to connect with others for support and friendly competition. This can be fun, motivating and rewarding. You can also share results with friends on social media channels, like Facebook.
Current fitness level
The device you choose should match your current activity level. For example, some are geared more to walking, biking or running. Keep this in mind so that you buy the right device for you.

Welcome to MCDONALD JASPER LAW
Call now for free legal consultation: (647) 894 3754
from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Mon - Fri / Sat 10:00 am - 2:00pm
Civil Litigation:
Our experienced team of civil litigators covers a comprehensive range of Small Claims Court claims and defenses. We represent Individuals, companies, partnerships, sole traders and other organizations.
We aim to offer a prompt, efficient, and practical service and are flexible enough to adapt what we do to the needs of each individual client. We are comfortable with Court proceedings, but also recognize that civil litigation is expensive and the outcome may be uncertain. While we will fight your corner vigorously in court if appropriate, we realize that there are often more creative and less expensive ways of resolving commercial disputes.
We work closely with our clients in working out what they want to achieve through instructing us, and adopt a strategy to suit each individual client.
Employment Law.
We fully understand that people are often in very different circumstances when it comes to dismissal from work, from amicable to highly acrimonious situations.
Some people going through disciplinary or dismissal procedures may have to attend hearings and appeals, whilst others for whom the dismissal is a feature of discrimination or bullying treatment; and other workers who may be leaving by mutual agreement, but require legal support to assist in negotiating the details of their departure arrangements and severance package.
Bullying and harassment in the workplace can be devastating for the victim, but you do not have to endure it. The law is there to protect employees. Our employment advocates are familiar with the difficult situations employees experience, and can offer solutions, as well as help you access the protection offered by employment law.
Harassment at work can take many different forms, from being bullied to receiving unwanted sexual approaches or being called racist or sexist names.
Personal Injury Claims:
To claim compensation for a personal injury caused by an accident that was someone else's fault, call our No Win, No Fee Personal Injury experts on 647-894-3754.
Just tell us where and how the accident happened, perhaps it was an accident at work or a car accident; and tell us about your personal injuries so we can help you understand whether or not you have a claim for compensation.
A No Win, No Fee Personal Injury EXPERT will assess your claim on its merits with the information you provide, and determine how successful your injury claim is likely to be.
98% of our Personal Injury Claims are funded through a Conditional Fee Agreement, which is more commonly known as a 'No Win, No Fee' agreement.
Our experts are well aware of the tactics that insurance companies can use to contest personal injury claims. We use all our combined legal expertise to get the best possible results for people injured in accidents, through no fault of their own.
We can provide immediate legal representation and rehabilitation support.
Commissioner for Oaths:
As commissioner for taking affidavits we can legally administer an oath, affirmation, or declaration, for example, to a person making an affidavit.
A commissioner does not have to know the person making the affidavit. A commissioner administers the oath or affirmation of the person swearing or affirming that the affidavit is true. The commissioner then signs the document to verify he/she saw the document being signed and that he/she had administered the oath.
Highway Traffic Offences: We provide representation on such offences like:
No insurance
Contesting a Ticket Issued for a Traffic Offence
Dangerous Operation of a Vehicle
Unlicensed Driving of a Vehicle
Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident
Racing Motor Vehicles on the Road
Drinking and Taking Drugs While in Charge of a Vehicle
Evidence of Drug or Alcohol Consumption and Defenses
License Restrictions Applied to Alcohol and Drug Driving Offences.
Tribunal Representation:
We provide tribunal representation wherever you live, in Ontario and we always represent in person. You no longer have to rely on an advice centre near to your home because we have successfully represented clients in Ontario. If you simply cannot attend the hearing, perhaps because of anxiety or being housebound, we can go in your place.
We can meet you in person, work via telephone, email or Skype conferencing, advising on the strength of your appeal, gathering the necessary evidence and representing at your tribunal hearing.

- Weight - at roughly four pounds, its close to 5 pounds lighter than my previous laptop.
- Build - way better than the Dell, and as other people have noticed, on par with an Apple product.
- Charger - the charger is lightweight and small, includes one USB port on the brick.
- Display - the display is amazing overall, but this is Windows, so all of those old applications that are programmed against fixed pixels... I hope you own a good pair of reading glasses or a magnifying glass. It can get pretty ridiculous.
- Display & Table - because the display can split off the keyboard base and become a tablet, its heavier than on a normal laptop. This becomes awkward if you ever try to use the Surface Book as a laptop. It's top heavy.
- Display Drivers - we've noticed at work that all of the Surface Books display some interesting issues when they are docked. The main issue being that scroll bars in some apps are really fat. It's more annoying than you'd imagine.
- Price - for the price you can get several laptops that have equivalent or better internal specs.
- Pen - it's there, but I never use it. It gets lost in my backpack about twice a week.
Overall, the Surface Book is working well for my needs. Though I'm not sure I'd by one for a personal laptop.

Last year, I taught this book to some of my higher-level ESL students in Abu Dhabi. Lots of them had seen the movie, but almost none of them had known it was a book first.
While I don't know that I would call this a graphic or literary masterpiece, I definitely think it is worthy of being considered part of the canon of our time.
This is probably my least favourite of Satrapi's graphic novels.
Just as I have been each time that I've read Persepolis, I was impressed yet again by Satrapi's storytelling ability. In Embroideries, she introduces the reader to a variety of women all in one room together. The reader gets to see not only the individual personalities of these women, but also the ways in which they interact.
A few months back, I was perusing the new titles available on NetGalley, and spotted The Drained Brains Caper. The description looked interesting, and I've been wanting to read some lower-grade graphic fiction, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I wasn't all that impressed with this volume, though.

Peter Cavanaugh
Together divided
by peter cavanaugh
Daniel had his Lion's Den. Tom McClintock had us.
Building "A" at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds was overflowing with concerned constituents Feb. 21 as Representative Tom McClintock (R-4th) faced a large crowd. McClintock generated a similar turnout in Sonora the following night with the Union Democrat reporting Sonora High School's 569-seat auditorium was filled to capacity with another several hundred left outside. A rock star was born.
While Tom McClintock was our local headline attraction, Donald J. Trump deserves all the discredit for packing both places to capacity and then some, just as he did at dozens and dozens of similar "Town Hall Meetings" across the land. It was all over TV. This nation's gone nuts, nuts being particularly hardy, healthy and helpful in this instance.
Roughly two-thirds of the folks in both Mariposa and Sonora were on a vibrantly vocal anti-Trump side of the political divide, while the rest were loyal McClintock fans who came out to back their guy and, to a certain extent, their new Republican president, although sounding much more in tune with Trump's politics than persona.
All in all, things were loud and lively, but not unduly so. Everyone basically played well together, even though widely circulated email allegedly authored by The Mariposa "Republican Central Committee" predicted otherwise.
I obtained copies from four separate sources.
It announces the McClintock meeting, then states, "The progressive left has targeted this and all other town halls hosted by Republican Congressmen to be disrupted and shut down. You are being asked to stand for Mariposa and what is good and proper and if necessary showing the left that we will not tolerate their behavior."
We were quite surprised. The communiqué added – "Spread the word by email and voice only. Don't use social media. We don't want the progressives to get wind of our movement."
Grammatical curiosities aside, while those of us in "the progressive left" were, in fact, "good and proper," requiring no lessons in behavior toleration or any other matter, four vehicles in the Fairgrounds' parking lot had their tires slashed.
The following night in Sonora, Representative McClintock properly referred to the "sniveling cowards" guilty of such behavior in Mariposa, adding, "When we catch you, we're going to throw the book at you because your crime is not only directed at the victims whose property you damaged, it is aimed at every one of us who are seeking to exercise our constitutional rights to assemble and seek redress of grievances." The crowd in Sonora loudly applauded, as does this columnist.
Our Congressman still embraces the concept of climate change as being more cyclical than man made, hopes to abolish the Affordable Care Act, equates dislike of Trump with prior concerns about Barack Obama, stands solidly against abortion and suggests increased insistence on initiating an extended investigation into Russian links is being primarily driven by election disappointment.
McClintock remains rigidly locked into similarly traditional conservative positions as immovable as Half Dome. No one can claim Tom McClintock isn't completely consistent with his convictions and hasn't been rigidly faithful to his flock through the years – qualities woefully lacking in today's unbalanced occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as measured in milliseconds.
In only 40 days our national government has become a theater of the absurd.
Immediate measures have been taken against undocumented families, Planned Parenthood, transgender teens, and state sanctioned marijuana, but that trillion-dollar investment in infrastructure to create millions of jobs can wait till next year.
Trump's escalating war against the press can only be rationally understood as pathetic preparation for final revelation when his self-initiated involvement in Kremlin intrigue can no longer be avoided or denied. Convictive views? Fake news.
White House communication skills? Kellyanne Conway's bold-faced lies were first replaced by Sean Spicer's puerile petulance, followed by ultra white Steven Miller's glorious Gestapo glare, then substituted last Sunday by Deputy Press Secretary Sara Huckabee Sanders' stumbling stupidity on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, who couldn't keep a straight face.
Thunderous applause at last week's CPAC meetings in Washington certified the Republican president's canonization as the new conscience of American conservatism.
His conservative cabinet is already encountering embarrassing contradictions with global snickering reaching a thunderous roar.
Confusion reigns supreme.
Who's in charge? No one. Not even a mouse.

Hello May!! I can't believe it's May already! Ellijay Literary Society meets the last Tuesday of every month at the Ellijay Coffeehouse. Make sure you follow our book blog so that you don't miss a meeting! If you are interested in joining us – come!
When I drive up for book club from Atlanta, I pop by the cabin first to drop of the pups (my wee scottish terriers – road warriors they are!) then rush to get to Ellijay Coffeehouse. There's something so pleasing when I park, hop out and walk up to the door. I always enter the front door even though I could park on the side lot. There's just something about those front doors and the counter with treats waiting to be explore. I love this coffeehouse. I'm so happy we have a book club here. :::wiggling toes merrily:::::
Our April book Breaking and Holding is a first novel by Judy Fogarty. For her bio click HERE I considered this a pleasant beach read — although it started out rather juvenile bookish with a lot of sex thrown in. I found myself enjoying the trip and journey through the late 70s and 80s. I've always loved tennis and enjoyed John Mcenroe's temper tantrums on the court. Then of course there was Bjorn Borg who to this day makes my knee socks (if I still wore them) fall slowly to my ankles. Lord that man is HOT. Interestingly enough the theme of older guy young girl resonated with me completely – considering I somewhat lived that life at 21 marrying my childhood doctor (he removed my tonsils at 12…. so. ) Bizarre… I know. We got onto the subject of affairs, which we all had comments on. Many of use have known others who have had them, many of us have had them ourselves, or we've wanted to it seemed. Or we've been the victim of affairs. Regardless good or bad they exist all over the place.
The book also touched on many items I knew nothing about – the Feminism movement during that time frame. The book goes into Fear of Flying by Erica Jong A new one on me. And the Feminine Mystique also a new one on me. I wasn't the only one thank you very much who knew nothing of these books. On my list now though to read. We got onto The Joy of Sex which I gave the story of going on an estate sale appointment and the somewhat strange creepy client had it opened to a page of… illustrations of ….. ::::::whispering sexual things and turning really red:::::::: I almost fainted I'll tell you. I came from a very conservative Southern family – we NEVER spoke of anything sexual growing up – it was a sort of find it out on your own which isn't the best way at all I can assure you. Some of the group knew all about these books and a few were rock stars of the 70's 80's culture of sex drugs and rock and roll. Ya'll are my idols really you are. I can't even imagine the tales and stories many of you have lived — thanks for sharing those too. Book club is about SHARING – where we wander off to on topics is always fun. And after a few glasses of wine I'll share so much more I assure you.
Most of us enjoyed the book although not a favorite by far. I think the journey of the 80's was my real joy.
For book club questions click HERE
As always, even if the book is not pleasing, or if the book is completely enjoyable – book club rocks. That is all.
** A side note – the raisin oatmeal cookies at Ellijay Coffeehouse are the freaking BOMB!
**Another P.S. Well I had planned on staying at the cabin tonight after Book Club. But on my drive up from the city I got a Robo call from Coosawattee River resort saying that there is an escaped convict/murderer loose in the area. The odds of me crossing path with this whack a doodle is very slim however the curse of an over active imagination went wacko when I got back to the cabin and I could hear neighbors dogs barking. They probably always barked but I've just never noticed it before. Therefore the girls and I are on our way back To the city where its safe LOL. Plus the likelihood of the convict looking like George Clooney is very slim. So. #kimysworld #overactiveimagination

We went up Powell Street, through Nob Hill on the way to Fisherman's Warf. It was an exceptionally beautiful day with my family, the kids walked a lot! I knew Mark Jacinto had good endurance but we hiked up some killer hills and all he said once was: " Mom, I'm hot" (while taking his jacket off). These kids never cease to amaze me!
We have never taken this route when going to the Fisherman's Warf before. It was a refreshing path for us as we saw many things we discovered we wanted to do. We saw new parks, museums and restaurants we would like to try. Once we got there, we went straight to see the sea lions and take on the amazing view and weather. We enjoyed a meal at Boudin, which by the way it was my first time trying clam chowder served on a bread bowl, and it was delicious!
On the way back we walked all the way to Embarcadero station and stopped by to interact with some street/technology art they had open to the public as an experiment on the street. We love San Francisco and are very thankful to live here!

The whole concept of TheDBJourney is to let men of all shapes and sizes know that even though we would like to have a magazine ready physique all the time or even once.

We want to live a healthier life for them as well as ourselves; but we want to enjoy it too. We don't need to make fitness the only thing we look forward to every day but understand how important it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. TheDBJourney is here to inspire those who need inspiration and those looking for new and creative ways to live each day and take their dad bod to new levels on their own journey.

Ricky Gervais has signed on to star in the live-action/animatronic feature adaptation of the Kenneth Grahame children's book The Wind in the Willows. The actor/comedian responsible for such gems as The Office and Extras will voice the story's main protagonist, Mole. Back in June, we reported that Ray Griggs (Super Capers) would direct and Bill Marsilii (Deja Vu) would adapt the 1908 classic with Peter Jackson's visual effects company Weta Workshop handling the film's special effects.
Per Variety, Marsilii's script will see Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad "join forces to save their land from a sinister plot that threatens to destroy the uneasy truce between the peaceful animals of the Willows and what remains of Mankind." To check out the teaser trailer dropped by Griggs and Co. at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, hit the jump. The Wind in the Willows is currently aiming for a 2012 release.
Here's the teaser trailer:
Here's a brief synopsis of the book [via Amazon]:
"[Mole] thought his happiness was complete when, as he meandered aimlessly along, suddenly he stood by the edge of a full-fed river. Never in his life had he seen a river before–this sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again."
Such is the cautious, agreeable Mole's first introduction to the river and the Life Adventurous. Emerging from his home at Mole End one spring, his whole world changes when he hooks up with the good-natured, boat-loving Water Rat, the boastful Toad of Toad Hall, the society- hating Badger who lives in the frightening Wild Wood, and countless other mostly well-meaning creatures. Michael Hague's exquisitely detailed, breathtaking color illustrations on almost every generous spread–along with Kenneth Grahame's elegant, delightfully old-fashioned characterizations of the animals–make this book a wonderful read-aloud.

Of course, you do. It's fascinating. Now you've scratched the surface, you have to have more. Well, put on the breaks, hot-rod. You're gonna blow your engine, and we're still at the starting gate. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
Besides, this is heavy-duty mojo you're dealing with. Too much understanding could blast you into a pillar of salt. For your benefit, and the safety of the whole community, we're going to step out of the high performance machine you seem keen to ride to your oblivion, and take a walking tour of the great landscape that is the fertile imagination of yours truly.
Now, you're got your comfy shoes on…
Why comics, you ask? Why not put these hands to work painting chapel ceilings, or carving divinity from stone? Great questions, sport. I can tell you've got a lot on the ball. The answer is simple. Conan.
That's right. Don't swallow it. Swish it around, a bit.
I didn't read comics as a kid. I was far too busy playing sports, waging b.b. gun wars and riding my bike for miles. But when I was about 12, I discovered Conan.
Like the explorers of old, my ship had come ashore on a strange new land, with nothing before me, but adventure, scantily clad women and bludgeoning, bludgeoning, bludgeoning. Conan's creator, Robert E. Howard, wrote with a style that was like a punch to the face. You can argue, and I will, buddy-boy, Howard was the first modern action writer. He stripped away all but the essential. It was all action all the time, and if it didn't thrill or move the story along, it had no place. What more could my young fevered brain ask for?
John Carter, Warlord of Mars. That's what.
The Mars series had the action, adventure and half-naked broads of Conan, plus ray guns, flying ships and monsters with multiple appendages. Crap on toast! Is this heaven?! Edgar Rice Burroughs is better known for creating Tarzan. But if you ask any serious fan of far-flung adventure, they'll tell you Tarzan is a light weight in a tenth grade world next to J.C.
If Howard is the first modern adventure writer, Burroughs is the last great Victorian adventure writer ( you wanna fight about it?!). His style is florid and graceful, if somewhat stiff and corny. And while his ideas on science and biology are often silly and just plain wrong, they're born of the same brilliant imagination that created some of the greatest adventure stories on, or in, the nine planets.
Making all these stories even greater, were the illustrations. They showcased the work of modern masters of paint and pen- Roy Krenkel, Esteban Maroto, and most importantly Frank Frazetta ( known by myself and most other adventure artists as GOD ALMIGHTY).
Then, why didn't I become a book illustrator? Well, good God junior, who illustrates books, any more?! Nobody. Well, a few publishers do, but not enough to pay the bills. Sure, there are children's books, and I have nothing against them. I'd love to take a crack at it. By how long do you think your Uncle Joltin' Johnny could illustrate cutesy kiddie stories, for dull-witted yuppie kids, whose parents don't believe in spanking, much less real violence. I'd split in two!
Luckily, it wasn't long before I stumbled upon John Severin's and Mike Ploog's Kull comics ( another character created by Howard ) and Savage Sword of Conan magazine, as drawn by "Big" John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala. They're some of the most beautiful comics you'll ever see.
So, that's why comics. Satisfied? Well, how could you be? This is all just so damn intoxicating. I fear you'll develop a taste for it…
