A weekend of November is dedicated since some years by several OM belonging to ARI Sanremo to
work, for DCI, some references located in our area. We have detected six of them for this
fourth edition: two in Sanremo, IM147 (Angelo iw1ppm) and IM098 (Gianni i1yhu), two in
Taggia IM074 (Pino iz1oqb) and IM108 (Peter iw1rfb), one in S. Stefano IM133 (Omar iz1pht
and Gianni iw1qgr) and one in Bordighera IM103 (Gianni i1uwf).
Transmissions were made during Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th to avoid possible interferences.
All those references have shown a big "appeal" among italians and foreigners hunters.
We have had a good weather after a long period with heavy rains, reasonable good propagation in 20 and 40 m. allowed us to reach the quorum everywhere.
We have enjoyed ourselves dedicating few hours to our radio.
We are waiting for you for next year.

The Kölner Geklöppel continues: After Superpitcher, Rebolledo and Lena Willikens infected Roof.fm with the spirit of Cologne and beyond, Daniel Ansorge turns in one and a half hours of techno bliss. You will remember Barnt from "Geffen", the "unhinged track where odd noises and squeaks made you want to spray WD-40 on the creaky beat." (Resident Advisor). Barnt's unique blend of post minimal and post kosmische have indeed made him a German champion on the leftfield techno circuit. Pushing things further on the dancefloor, that's his business.
ROOF.FM: Daniel, in 2012 you broke through with "Geffen". What kind of year was 2013 for you?
DANIEL: It was a year of travelling and performing. I got to visit many countries for the first time.
And what was the best thing you experienced?
That was El Tepozteco, the small Aztec temple in Tepotzlan, Mexico.
You're mix is a flush with unreleased stuff from labels like Beats in Space, Die Orakel and Cómeme.
Well, when I did the mix, everyone seemed to come back from their Christmas holidays and I happened to get some really nice stuff. So I tried to put it all together.
it's easier to play challenging sets these days. Punters are more open-minded, more educated. Good times!
As a producer, charting the sonic unknown has been a constant. The same goes for Barnt the DJ?
The dance concept of the continous bass drum has proven so simple, yet liberating and freewheeling over the past thirty years, that there is no end in sight for the four-to-the-floor formula. It serves as a superb matrix for so many different ideas. And yes, I still make a lot of discoveries. It's that freshness that I'm looking for in a track.
de:bug magazine once wrote that you choose to take the backdoor, a path in fact available to everyone. Do you think that the climate for pursuing avant-guarde stuff on the dancefloor has become better, both as a DJ and a producer?
As a DJ it's definitely easier to play challenging sets these days. Punters are more open-minded, more educated. Good times! But I don't think that it's become easier now – or in any other era – to write original music. Achieving that really depends on yourself.
Do you see yourself aligned to the Cologne techno tradition?
Wolfgang Voigt was a major influence. Especially his label Profan and his project Gas. But I grew up in the north of Germany. So I got to listen to a lot of American and English stuff, and stuff from other parts of Germany as well, from Frankfurt and Berlin. But possibly the water in Cologne tastes indeed quite unique!
Are you working on an album?
Yes, I currently spend much more time in my studio. This spring, six weeks are reserved for exclusively making music, which is great.
What can we expect from your label Magazine this year?
Last year, we didn't have much time on our hands. While my colleague Jens-Uwe Beyer (aka Popnoname) built himself a house, I was travelling a lot. That's why there was only one release on Magazine. 2014 will be different: four releases are scheduled. One of those should be my album, which will be hopefully released in late autumn.

You might recall a recent Facebook post in which I sheepishly confessed that I just now removed the pumpkins from my porch. (Yes, the ones I had out there to commemorate the Harvest season. Yep, it's February.) I'm a mom of a 2-year old and a newborn, and I run two home businesses… what can I say? Cleaning my porch is waaaaaay down there on the priority list.
The great news, however, is that pumpkins last a VERY long time if you haven't carved into them. And they can actually be cooked and eaten, not just used for decoration! (Seems we forget this sometimes. Did you throw away your pumpkins this year?)
Pumpkin is amazingly nutritious for you, and also a delicious flavor addition to baked goods, pasta sauces, soups, oatmeal, smoothies, you name it! And I've always been a fan of savory pumpkin dishes because I feel like they're just a bit unexpected. Last year I made this Cheesy Pumpkin Rigatoni for a contest and I actually won a prize!
But this post is not about pumpkin pasta… it's actually about something much lighter (though equally luscious in my opinion.) Silky Coconut Pumpkin Soup. YUM. I made lots of things with my porch pumpkin this week… but this soup I had to make twice! It's full of healthy veggies, complex spices, and coconut milk for richness. We gobbled it up!
You may not be into plant-based eating, but if you are, you'll be delighted to know that this creamy dreamy soup is entirely vegan and so very nourishing! (And if you're not into plant-based eating, don't worry, you'll still love it!)
You'll need a blender of some sort, and I highly recommend an immersion blender because it's way safer and less messy. But other than that, no fancy tools required. And you can use fresh pumpkin like I did, or canned puree would be delicious as well. (If you're using whole pumpkins as a starting point, here's the simple method for how to roast pumpkins to use for cooking.)
Hope you get to enjoy this one very soon, guys! It sure does make one feel fancy to eat Coconut Pumpkin Soup for dinner. Especially if you throw in a glass of white wine and crisp green salad. My kind of evening, right there!
XXs and OOs,
Here's the printable recipe…
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- salt and pepper, a few pinches each
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- ¼ tsp. rubbed sage
- ¼ tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. thyme
- 8 oz. cauliflower, roughly chopped
- 1½ C. roasted pumpkin (or 1 C. pumpkin puree)
- 4 C. water
- ¼ C. unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ C. full-fat coconut milk (more if desired)
- sea salt to finish (about 10-20 turns of the grinder, according to taste)
- Heat olive oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add in onions, and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and pepper, then stir and cook for about 5 minutes til onions become browned and translucent. Stir in minced garlic, and allow to cook for 1 minute. Then sprinkle in paprika, sage, cumin, cinnamon, and thyme, and stir for another minute. Next, add in the cauliflower, pumpkin, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, cover, and allow soup to simmer, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is soft. When cauliflower is soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to a smooth texture.
- To finish, stir in coconut milk, applesauce, and sea salt to taste. (I used about 20 grinds from a sea salt grinder, but start with 10 and taste to see if more is needed.)

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to attend a special blogger meet-up at Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth here at the Legends Outlets in Kansas City. Well you know I can't pass up an opportunity to shop so I joined in the fun.
There were lots of yummy things to snack on, and there was even a DJ so we would have some tunes to shop to.
Of course, when there are style bloggers around there are always outfit photos to be taken. I played paparazzi while Meggy of Chasing Davies took pictures for Kristina of Simply Bold. And I also caught Terri of Rags against the Machine doing a little browsing.
The people at Off Fifth were generous enough to give every blogger a $25 gift card (and I'll show off what I bought tomorrow) and even held a drawing for $50, $100, and $200 prizes. I didn't win, but it sure would have been easy to find lots of things to spend that money on! I'll definitely be going back and doing more shopping there soon.
Some of the fabulous girls I shopped with: Meggy of Chasing Davies, Kristina of Simply Bold, Sandy of Sandy a la Mode, Lisa of Peridot Skys, and me.
I had such a good time meeting new friends, and catching up with others. I'm lucky to live in a city that has such a wonderful blogging community!

Automatic Top Off (ATO) Tank
Tank Update!!!
It's time for a tank update, lot of stuff happening! I should have probably broke this up into a couple different posts but I've not been on the computer much lately and still have lots of work to do.
Here are a couple update photos of the 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank acting as the temporary home for our fish. We actually really enjoy watching the fish and corals from above. The clams are very neat to look at too! So far the fish and corals haven't protested the temp setup.
In the fish room, behind the display tank, I have set up a metal rack to hold the 90 gallon refugium and 90 gallon salt mixing tank. The refugium will go up high and have a drain that drops down into the display tank (to the right). Hopefully the refuge will produce lots of bugs for the fish to eat. 🙂 We've also painted everything white in the fish room with Kilz primer, added some can lights, and put in a small sink and hookup for the RO/DI unit.
Just got the ATO (Automatic Top Off) up and running this evening. I used a small pump and a 10 gallon tank for top-off water. I also got my APEX controller back up and running on the temp system.
While building the stand we ran three new lines to the breaker box, one for lights, one for pumps, and one for the refugium area. I'm really happy to have the aquarium system on its own set of breakers.
Moving the display tank…
6 guys, a trailer, suction cups, straps and an hour of grunting we had the tank moved. We think the tank weighs around 600+ lbs. (.5 inch glass with a bit of re-enforcement glass in the bottom). Luckily everything went well although we did bust off a fitting on the bottom for one of the returns. I think I might actually cut out one overflow (right side), deleting the broken return, and rely on my VorTech MP40s to create the majority of the flow/turnover in the tank. Originally I thought I would get a lot of flow from the return pumps (2 – Mag Drive 24s) but that just didn't happen.
After a bit more thought and my wife's "Not to scale" disclaimer drawings (lol) we had the stand figured out. Here's where we are now.
(tops to be installed soon!)
Next time around we should have the tops installed, tank painted and the right side overflow removed… 😉 Time for some sleep.

I'd just turned 18 and was hoping to get good A levels, go to university and enjoy my life. Then all of a sudden, I was being rushed from hospital room to hospital room.
It's not a time you want to be ill. You want to be fighting fit. All my friends were going away to university while I was forced to sit on the sidelines. So it was a lonely time.
To this day, I can't look back on that time in my life and think, 'Oh, do you remember so-and-so's 18th party?' What I look back on is the fact that I heard about it through Facebook. I saw the photos but in reality I was at home, probably watching TV or in my bed sleeping. It was a sad time.
Being diagnosed with cancer so young is really isolating because it's such an important time of your life. A lot of stuff is changing.
Friends are going to empathise with you as much as they can, but they can't understand what it feels like to have constant CT scans, or to have cannulas in you the whole time like you're a pin cushion. You can't share experiences at that age. I think that's the hardest thing. Even though you're not consciously left out of things, you're forced to sit out on the sidelines.
Things are so good now that I look back at that time and think, 'Wow, that was really tough'. It's like an isolated period that you can revisit in your mind. But thankfully I can revisit the bad bits at my own leisure. I don't have to constantly have it in my head.

Artistic Integrity
Experiences in the arts – dance, drama, media arts, music, and the visual arts – play a valuable role in the education of all students. Through participation in the arts students can develop their creativity, learn about their own identity, and develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and a sense of well-being. Since artistic activities involve intense engagement, students experience a sense of wonder and joy when learning through the arts, which can motivate them to participate more fully in cultural life and in other educational opportunities.

Hi Cho
Yes, Travelpayouts looks like a nice option. Rome2Rio doesn't have booking capability. It has search only.
If you're fine with affiliate programs, also check Skyscanner, Allmyles, and KIWI. You may also consider Booking.com and Expedia affiliate programs, but they mostly address accommodation booking.

Basketball of Thursday, 15 December 2011
Source: gna
Accra , Dec 15, GNA - Rite Multimedia, an Accra-based private organization has been given the mandate to manage the Adenta Basketball Court - a facility owned by the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
Rite Multimedia, who have for the past years assumed the status of leaders in the development and promotion of basketball in the country, has thus become the major influential stakeholder in the game with the new feat.
It is expected to provide the facility with high level management that will ensure maximum benefits from its usage.
An official of the company told the GNA Sports that the award of the right to manage the facility underlines the fact that NLA have imposed great confidence in the ability of the company to put the facility into good use in the community and its environs as far as the game was concerned.
He called on residents of the area, especially the youth to patronise the facility and make use of the training exercise to improve on their performances.

Accurate Auto Appraisers
Classic Car Insurance
What is Agreed Value Coverage, and Why YouShould Care
There are typically three methods used to decide what you get paid if your auto is a total loss. Each is different, and protects you to a different degree. Only one guarantees you get what you expect, or even what you pay for.
If you're in doubt as to what you have now, don't take anybody's word for what is included in your coverage. Read the policy language yourself, and ask your agent for written clarification if you have any doubts or questions.
#1 Agreed Value
The most desirable for car collectors. It leaves no doubt as to what will be paid in the event of a loss. With Agreed Amount coverage, the amount you see on the policy is what you'll get if the car is written off as a total loss. Period.
How Do I Set My Agreed Value?
#2 Actual Cash Value (ACV)
Typically provided by standard auto insurance policies. The insurance company decides what you get paid at the time of the loss. While you may have some input if you don't agree with them, the final decision is theirs. It will be based at least in part on using sources which you may not agree with. If you refuse to settle for what they want to pay you, you may need to resort to legal action to arbitrate the issue. We can help if you are already in a dispute, this service can be very expensive.
#3 Stated Value
Often provided on collector and limited use policies. The policy language typically states the insurance company will pay the Stated Amount, or the Actual Cash Value, or the cost to repair not to exceed the Stated Amount whichever is less.
Guess what: The Stated Amount is just used to determine your premium cost: The higher your Stated Amount, the higher your insurance premium. The contract language permits them to pay what they decide the Actual Cash Value of the auto is. They are under no contractual obligation whatsoever to pay the Stated Amount. Surprise!
Unsure what you have?
1. Read your policy . If you don't have all of the forms (the policy and all endorsements) then request a complete policy.
2. Get in touch with an underwriter from your insurance company. Don't take advice from your agent on this subject.
3. Ask the underwriter for a valuation guarantee in writing, on company letterhead.
4. Have the underwriter direct you to the language that spells out the valuation . If you don't get anything but straight answers, look for another insurance company.
How Do I Set My Agreed Value?
Get a professional appraisal.
The purpose of an Agreed Value is to match the actual market value of the auto as closely as possible. It is not meant to cover any extra intrinsic value you may place on the car for personal reasons. We have a pretty good idea as to the appropriate value of most autos, given their mileage, condition, history, custom modifications etc.

For quite some time now, I've been admiring the fun and quirky t-shirt designs of Lady Umbrella and when they very kindly shared a promotional code for a 15% discount on Twitter I figured that was as good a time as any to pounce. Their bright blue "Lady Umbrella Is Away With The Birds" t-shirt won me over with its turbo cute birdcage design, as well as the fact that I can be somewhat away with the birds myself from time to time. Only a few days ago a co-worker was trying to say hello to me while I was on my way to the office and had to whack me with her newspaper to get my attention.
Their customer service is faultless and tremendously friendly, as I discovered when I cleverly managed to order the wrong size from their online shop. There was no problem exchanging it and the t-shirt even arrives with cute as a button badges to boot.
The Lady Umbrella online shop can be found here and they're also at the Loft Market in Powerscourt. The Facebook and Twitter pages are definitely worth a click of the Like and Follow buttons, since they're always running great competitions and discounts. So now you've no excuse not to support a great independent designer. Consider yourself informed.

Warren Barton today flashed a "we'll be ready" warning to Newcastle United's Intertoto Cup opponents.
Sporting Lokeren meet Zaglebie Lubin tonight in their Daknam Stadium in Belgium to decide who faces United in the third round of the competition.
And despite Newcastle's introduction to the tournament a week today being their first outing of the season Barton believes they will be prepared for their continental opponents.
"Make no mistake about it, we'll be ready," said Barton. "We've been working very hard this week in training.
"And going straight into an important game is probably the best way to go into it. Sometimes you can be a bit relaxed in pre-season but that certainly won't be the case with a UEFA Cup place the prize.
"It was great news for the club when it was announced that we would be playing in the Intertoto Cup.
"We missed European football last season and this gives us a chance of making it into the UEFA Cup once again. A club the size of Newcastle United needs to be in Europe.
"So we're taking the game very seriously."
Both Sporting Lokeren and Zaglebie Lubin, who drew 2-2 in their first leg tie, have been in competitive action for three weeks now, having entered the Intertoto Cup in the first round.
But Barton does not think they will have too great an advantage in terms of fitness, and in turn lifted the lid on manager Bobby Robson's tough training programme.
He said: "We've been putting in the hours this week. The gaffer has had us in until 5.30pm and 6pm every day.
"But no one's complaining. We know how important this game is.
"Perhaps if we'd been off three or four months fitness might have been a problem, but as it is you don't lose too much of it over four or five weeks.
"All the lads have been looking after themselves over the summer and the fitness programme from Paul Winsper has gone very well."

Here is my "trapunto". It is a simple version.
I do not use Water Soluable thread, but I use vinyl thread (or original thread), just sew around the sample (on a thin paper!), and rip the paper.
Then I stipling the extra area. I called it a false trapunto.I have o lot of "trapunto" sample.

It's quite normal to lose a certain amount of hair each time you brush. The average person loses between forty to hundred strands per day. If you are losing more your hair becomes thin gradually and you need to go under some hair regrowth treatment. Hair regrowth natural remedy is the best hair loss solutions that we can provide you in this content.
Massaging – an effective hair regrowth natural remedy
Very often, partial baldness or thinness of hair is not a result of the hair follicle dying, but rather the result of a tight scalp through which the hair has difficulty in growing.
Therefore it is duly important to give the scalp a good daily massage with the pads of the fingers or a hand vibrator to keep it loose and increase the flow of blood to the hair follicles. Thus massaging is a powerful and effective hair regrowth natural remedy.
Yoga students who can stand in their heads for five minutes a day get similar results.
Honey and oil mixture as hair regrowth natural remedy
Our grandmothers gave us yet another recipe, one for encouraging hair growth which can be considered as an easy but effective hair regrowth natural remedy.
- Mix few drops of honey with coconut oil;
- Massage it on the scalp;
- Cover your head for two hours;
- Wash it with a suitable shampoo and rinse properly.
Do not take much honey in your mixture unless you want lighter toned hair because honey contains lightening agents in it.
Castor oil as hair regrowth natural remedy
- Castor oil can also help to regrow your hair naturally.
- Take necessary amount of castor oil with proportion to the amount of your hair.
- Massage gently into the scalp; castor oil is thick and stickier than other usable oils.
- Cover your head with a shower cap for at least two hours or you can also message it at night before sleep to wash out in the morning.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Apply this method twice a week; it would be one of the finest hair regrowth natural remedies.
Egg as hair regrowth natural remedy
Eggs are rich in protein; protein helps in formation of new hair.
- Take one or two eggs (according to the amount of your hair) and beat them properly.
- Mix two spoon of extra – virgin olive oil in it.
- Massage the egg pack in the scalp as well as all through your hair.
- Cover the hair with a shower cap for at least two hours.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- You need not wash it with shampoo at the very day. It would be good if you shampoo it in the next day so that your scalp and hair absorb the extracts of the pack fully.

Northern Nevada will get its first "mobile crisis center" for children this year.
Governor Brian Sandoval has dedicated $2.4 million to a state-wide emergency intervention program.
The number of children admitted to hospitals in Washoe County for mental health crises has increased by more than 2,300 from six years ago. Child and Family Services Clinical Program Manager Ryan Gustafson says parents turn to hospitals or police because they have no place else to go. He says the mobile crisis center can respond immediately to a phone call.
"Launch out and go out to that family dispatch and deal with them where they are at, vs saying okay you need to go to ABC to do ABC, you know go get assessed, provide insurance, hopefully you have the right coverage," says Gustafson.
Gustafson says a mobile crisis program launched in Las Vegas this year showed hospital admissions dropped from the hundreds to just 10 in four months and half of families using the service resolve their crises within 3 days. Northern Nevada's mobile crisis team will cost $760,000 and will have a staff of 8 mental health professionals.

Getting married is as much a financial decision as a personal and romantic one. One of the most important things that you can do to help make a success of your marriage is to ensure you and your spouse see eye-to-eye when it comes to financial choices. If you don't make a decent attempt here, you will likely experience friction dealing with money matters.There will be fights, times when you lie about money, and a serious lack of trust, overall.
If you've just married, it's a great time to begin the process of compromise — talking about money, and coming to an agreement on how to move forward. Both spouses tend to be positive at this time, and eager to both cooperate and extend compromise.
First, start with total disclosure
You don't want to start a marriage off with foggy ideas of where you stand financially as a couple. If there is major financial information that you've kept secret — large debts, financial commitments, bankruptcies, inheritances or anything else — you should disclose it. Disclosure at this stage beats having the truth come out a couple of years down the line when you need to apply for a mortgage together. To be found to have been lying can do serious damage to trust in a marriage.
If there are problems from the past, address them
If you do discover that there are financial problems from the past to be dealt with, you should work on a plan. If one of you has many credit cards with large sums owed, for example, you can consolidate your cards, and budget so that you pay the money off. It's only once problems from the past are overcome that you truly move forward.
Create goals and budgets
Considering that money problems are often at the root of dysfunction in many marriages, talking about your future financial goals is one of the most important things that you can do to keep your marriage strong.
Your financial goals would be knowing when to buy a house or a car, knowing how many children you will have, how much money you will have to send them to college, what kind of business ambitions you have, the age that you would like to retire, how much you would like to have set aside for an emergency and so on. Once you do know what your hopes and dreams are for the future, it's important to develop realistic plans for how much money is likely to come in and draw up careful budgets for how you will reach your stated financial goals.
Unless you have great experience with money, your initial budgets and plans will not be detailed enough. Once you take a couple of years of tweaking details to get your budgets right, you'll be ready for the next step – drawing up a plan to actually achieve these goals.
Planning together for success
Planning with all the good intent in the world is rarely enough to produce results. Drawing up a second plan to put the original plan into effect, is what works. Drawing up such a plan, you will likely come up against serious odds. It's easy to plan to always pay off your credit cards and never carry a balance; it's much harder to decide to actually make the sacrifices needed to actually plan into action.
It can take years of working together as a couple to actually put a well-intentioned financial plan to action. It takes building an appetite for sacrifice. It's completely possible, however, if you're willing to step forward together as partners and help each other when you're weak. This is the kind of thing that makes marriage so great.

If you're already a fan of the Little Free Libraries that provide free books to anyone passing by, then get ready for the Little Free Pantry – a project that is erecting tiny boxes stocked with goodies that leave no small impact on neighbors who don't have enough to eat.
RELATED: High School Kids Start Food Pantry to Keep Classmates From Hunger
The Little Free Pantry project has been giving communities the chance to provide for local people living in poverty, by erecting small cabinets and filling them with food and school supplies, free for the taking.
Even if your neighborhood is not suffering from impoverishment, the pantries can still be used as a method of sharing your surplus with those around you.
Since its first unit was erected by Little Free Pantry founder Jessica McClard in 2016 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, dozens more have been constructed around America by people eager to spread the compassion.
MORE: Judges Are Refusing to Jail People Who Can't Pay Fines, Choosing Community Service Instead
It's such a great idea that it has spawned a spin-off organization known as the Blessing Box—run by a Christian church group and filling their own set of pantries in Ohio.
"How I'd love to have it function is that it would not necessarily be a place for people who are really in need, but just for anyone," Jessica told Shareable. "On the last day of school, I put some bubbles and jump ropes, and sidewalk chalk, and balloons in the pantry. I had to encourage the parents to send their kids there because they didn't think it was for them."
MORE: Crochet Community Piles On the Yarn for Princess Wigs for Kids With Cancer
And while regular food kitchens have set hours of operation and requirements, the LFP's accessibility makes it an easy 24/7 fix for anyone nearby.
"I feel that the Pantry could potentially be for everyone. I took something out of it and took it home because I wanted to know what that felt like. It felt really good. It felt like community."

If you want to build your own LFP, you can Google "Little Free Library plans" to find different specifications, measurements, blueprints, and tips. Once you have your pantry at the ready, you can organize a group of friends, family, or church-goers to keep it stocked during the week.

Accidents at School
Children who are injured during school activities or on school grounds may be able to receive money damages for their injuries.
School are charged with protecting children as if they were their parents. They must provide adequate supervision during recess or in the cafeteria to make sure that our children are safe. If the teachers or monitors observe children acting in ways which may endanger other children, they must do what is reasonably necessary to stop the activities and protect the children under their care. If the school knows that a child has a history of causing injuries to other children, the school has a special responsibility to supervise that child so that injuries can be avoided.
Gym classes create a special situation. Normally, if a child is injured during a normal sports activity, the school can argue that the child assumed the risk of an injury. A child engaged in a baseball game may assume the risk of being hit by a baseball or bat or being tripped or pushed by another child. A child engaged in gymastics may assume the risk of falling from an apparatus. Cheerleaders may assume the risk of injury from their cheerleading routines.
However, where a child is engaged in a new activity and is not expected to appreciate the risk of an injury, where a teacher or coach makes the activity more dangerous, or where there conditions in the gym, athletic fields or play areas which are not the normal types of conditions encountered, the school may be liable.
At Norman M. Block, P.C., we have recovered money for many children involved in school activities. Some of these include:
- A teenage girl injured when she was required to engage in a timed run which ended on wet grass, causing her to slip and fall and fracture a bone in her arm
- A seven year old boy who was scalded when an unattended pot of boiling soup spilled on his leg causing second and third degree burns
- A teenage girl injured during gym activities where the padding normally placed on the walls of the gym had been removed
- A high school senior subject to inappropriate sexual comments by a teacher
In all school cases, a notice of claim must be filed within 90 days of the date of the accident. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of the case, unless it can be proven that the school knew about the circumstances of the accident during those 90 days.
If you child is injured at school, contact Norman M. Block, P.C. as quickly as possible so that we can assess the merits of the claim and make sure that the notice of claim is filed within the required time limits. We will then represent you through the claim process and, if necessary, through any lawsuit you may bring for your child.

The release stated that these investments "will allow Open Range RV to operate more efficiently and provide a higher level of service to their customers by having more parts and inventory on hand for custom projects as well as warranty work." The project will also result in the addition of 10-15 new employees with an average wage of $45,000/year.
The Town of Shipshewana has initially approved a 10-year tax abatement request from the company at the request of the LCEDC. "Open Range RV has been a great partner in Shipshewana and LaGrange County, and we're happy to continue to support their continued growth as one of our largest employers" said Roger Yoder, president of the Shipshewana Town Council.
"Our customer demand continues to necessitate our expansion at our home in Shipshewana" said Randy Graber, president of Open Range .

Former Editor of Yorkshire Post once owned battered table 'Bram Stoker used to pen vampire tale'
Mark Branagan
IT was left to rot in a garden for years, then lay forgotten in a house and very nearly ended up on a bonfire.
But the battered writing desk which once stood in the former Leeds home of an Editor of the Yorkshire Post may now go down in literary history as the place where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula.
Whitby has always been Yorkshire's main stop on the Stoker trail since he not only imagined the novel there but also featured Whitby Abbey and other sights in the opening chapters.
But pen was apparently put to paper on a desk he gave to his friend JSR Phillips, who edited the Yorkshire Post from 1903 to 1919. The antique later ended up in Hartlepool – where it was treated as junk and eventually given away to local author Billy Yull.
The desk and letters explaining the Dracula connection were yesterday unveiled by Mr Yull, 56, in an attempt to find out more about what could become a Vampire cult icon.
His strange legacy was the result of a friendship with a neighbour, Gillian Broderick – then living two doors down at 4 Henry Smith's Terrace, Hartlepool, the former home of Guy Phillips, grandson of JSR Phillips.
In 1975 Guy wrote to Mrs Broderick, concerning a desk that had been left behind when he sold her Number Four and moved to Appleton-le-Moor, near York.
He said: "I am happy to confirm that the desk I left with you when you and your husband bought 4 Henry Smith's Terrace is the actual desk on which Bram Stoker wrote Dracula.
"Stoker was a close friend of my grandfather JSR Phillips, Editor of the Yorkshire Post, and several times stayed at his house in Balmoral, Headingley, Leeds. Stoker gave him the desk with the information he had written Dracula on it.
"My grandfather left it to my father ER Phillips, Chief Assistant Editor of the Yorkshire Post. My mother disliked it and for years it stood outside in their garden at Scotton, near Knaresborough, until with their permission I took it to London and repaired it for my own use."
Mr Phillips mentions the desk was originally covered with green baize but he removed it because it was rotten. Antiques experts have pointed to this as a sign of authenticity as the desk would be baize covered – but most people would assume the original top was leather.
Mr Yull has also found a hand-written note from Mr Phillips to Mrs Broderick when he heard she was moving again, wishing her good luck with the house sale and regretting leaving the desk behind.
"I loathed the Dracula desk. But it is a fact that after leaving it behind, I and my family suffered misfortune after misfortune. I had two coronaries and my wife died suddenly of a stroke," he said, although he was now happily remarried.
Mrs Broderick left the desk at Mr Yull's house. His wife was going to put it on a bonfire, because it was in such a bad state. But he insisted it should go upstairs as a base for his computer - on which he was writing his first novel, ironically on Nazi fascination with the occult.
He said: "The desk is in appalling condition. It has been through two world wars, and stood outside in all weathers. It is my intention to restore it to its original glory."
Guy Phillips died in 1988. His second wife was traced by Mr Yull to a Norfolk nursing home but the trail went cold. There was two daughters, now possibly in their 50s. He has appealed for them to contact him at 2 Henry Smith's Terrace, Headlands, Hartlepool TS24 0PB.

Law suits can be a long and confusing process. Workers' compensation law and claims are no exception. The fact that the process does not typically operate like a typical lawsuit makes it even more convoluted and obscure to the typical person off the street. This can really add to the stress and confusion experienced by the people involved in a workers' compensation suit. A basic understanding of the process can help reduce stress and help you manage the process more efficiently.
The first thing that will happen must be the initial claim. After a worker sustains a work-related injury, he or she will need to make a detailed and accurate account of the related injury. The employer should also take reasonable steps to make sure the report is truthful and complete. This includes determining if there were witnesses to the event. If there were witnesses, the employer should be meticulous about gathering and maintaining written statements, and providing all of this information to the attorney responsible for defending and managing the workers' compensation claim on the business's behalf.
After the insurance company receives the statement, an investigator may be sent out to examine the circumstances of the injury. The investigation will most likely include an on-site survey of the injury site but also an inquiry into the medical records of the injured worker. The investigation will need to look into the extent of the injury and whether it is long term or short term. These issues will obviously have a large impact on the nature, amount, and duration of the benefits awarded to the injured worker. Following an investigation, there will likely also be an exchange of documents and information that is referred to as "discovery." During discovery, both the employer and the employee must exchange certain requested information, including medical records, employer reports, witness lists, and other pertinent material.
After the investigation, if the claim is still disputed, it may go before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The WCAB will hear the evidence from both sides. The board can then make a decision about whether the injured worker will receive benefits and for how long. If either the employer or the employee disagrees with the results, it is possible to appeal the finding to a higher court.
If your business is facing a workers' compensation dispute, you need an experienced attorney on your side. Contact me today at (714) 252-7078 to discuss your business and your case.

Agriculture is an ingrained into the Central Iowa landscape as any other industry. Scattered among the growing industrial parkways and ag-based business buildings of the cities of Ames and Des Moines are miles of farmland, featuring everything from cattle to corn.
And it was in part this agricultural heritage, says Nick Koshnick, co-founder and CEO for Solum, Inc., that convinced the Mountain View, CA-based company to open a new 12,500-square-foot research facility in Ames.
"This new state-of-the-art facility we are opening represents a commitment to the community and the agricultural industry," said Koshnick at the September 7 ribbon-cutting for the new lab. "We intend to build upon the services we are providing here for months and years to come."
Utilizing Solum's moist soil-testing methods, the Ames facility is now in the process of receiving commercial samples for the fall 2012 season and beyond. The facility has already received its state soil laboratory certifications from both Iowa and Minnesota.
Furthermore, added Koshnick, the facility will utilize the latest technology to allow customers to access their sample data online. "Agriculture has really changed," he said. "We've surged forward with technology. This has led to a new understanding of agronomic principles, and we are at the forefront of this revolution."

This is the second part of my exploration into the Retail Pharmacy. I have spoken with doctors, pharmacist, technicians, managers and other professionals and what I discovered about the retail Pharmacy business is pretty shocking. This report is not about the miss-fills and errors, because much of that is under control and minimal besides Night line has already done those type of reports. Those ABC reports will be nothing like this series of articles. Besides while ABC is doing its special report on "Shopping Carts" this information has to be told, how else are we going to talk about it. This gathered information is from workers at the big chain pharmacies Rite Aide, Walgreens and CVS/Pharmacy.
The retail pharmacies have various slogans make it seem like that are here to help the public, but really the only exist to help you maintain your condition. Recently they have told their employees that they will get a 6% raise, but only gave them 4% raise, this is despicable, it is a recession so who is going to complain. Sure the 700% mark-ups and $8 per pill dispensing fees are unreasonable. Merger after merger has made these companies so powerful that no one cares when the corporation cuts an employees clock-in grace period time from 7 to 3 minutes in order to save money, but who is actually paying attention.
Most pharmacist are considered experts in their field. However, the opinion of pharmacist are disregarded by the pharmacy companies that employ them. When it comes to medications, the patient and the business suits always seem to know more than the pharmacist. Pharmacist are routinely told to fill prescriptions that they know are fake to bolster sales, that also includes the patients that are frequently over medicating.
Pharmacist are routinely told to switch customers from brand name drugs to generic drugs. They are told this for several reasons; One the pharmacy gets a bigger profit off of the generic drug and two it often provides the customer with little to no savings on their insurance. This practice is a win-win for both the pharmacy and insurance company.
For example: Your doctor writes you a prescription for Vytorin. Vytorin is a brand only drug that does not have a generic. The insurance company won't cover, charges a much higher co-pay or just does not want to pay the higher amount for the Vytorin, so they instructs the pharmacist to call your doctor to change your Vytorin prescription to Zocor (Zocor's generic is Simvastatin which they will pay for) . They will do this and tell you that it will save you money, but in actuality the pharmacist and insurance companies know that Simvastatin does not do the same thing as Vytorin. The doctor only prescribed you Vytorin because some hot female drug rep came into his office and told them to do it. I am not a doctor, but this all could have been avoided because Zocor by itself should be tried first, this is common knowledge.
Conscience Clauses
If a pharmacist has an ethical, moral or religious objection to dispensing Emergency Contraception, or Abortion Pills, they will be coerced into doing so, or moved to the worst and often violent pharmacy locations. Not only are Moral and Ethical obligations taught in Pharmacy school The American Pharmacists Association policy "recognizes the individual pharmacist's right to exercise conscientious refusal and supports the establishment of systems to ensure patient access to legally prescribed therapy without compromising the pharmacist's right of conscientious refusal. States have and may pass laws that restrict religious expression, but that is another matter for the Supreme Court to argue in regard to "Conscience Clauses." By the way those companies charge $50 for the Emergency contraception pill(s), but the same dosage in a different form is and has been available for years at less than $12. By marketing these companies are using your reproductive process against you. Don't believe me look it up…
Books that are changing everything
Pharmacist have been directed to sign up customers for various programs, sometimes this is done without the patient's knowledge. The calls and messages can be unending. For example you may be placed in an automatic refill program, which automatically refills your prescription each month. This auto refill happens each month whether you need the medication or not, almost forcing the patient to pick up the medication. The understaffed pharmacy personell is instructed to call each patient at least 3-4 times per week to ask if they want or need their medications. On paper this seems like a good program, but most customers and pharmacist feel that it is harassment. Many customers feel that these companies are only reminding them that they have an illness, or a condition for profit. These programs are not designed to help patients, they are designed to keep them dependent on pharmaceuticals.
Pharmacies switch customers drugs as often as every two months. This is especially true if the patient is on Thyroid, Birth Control, High Blood Pressure and Diabetes medications. What happens is that the corporation will order whatever is the cheapest generic medication that quarter. That cheaper product is not always the medication that you are accustomed to, so you make end up medication that is a different size, different color, different shape or different tasting than the one you are used to.
Insurance Coverage
Retail pharmacies have been cutting their employee children insurance. They have done this by introducing a few new provisions, one of which states that "you can not arbitrarily cover your child if they do not live with you." This provision only affect a small percentage of employees and most of them are men. The amount of verifications and hoop jumping employees have to go through to get their children covered is absurd.
Yes we all have done it. Transfer your prescription out of one pharmacy and into another one just to get one of those $25 gift cards. It's a recession and people need the extra money. However, these quarterly promotions do more than fill your pockets with gift cards. Pharmacies run sophisticated computer software that automatically checks drug interactions chain wide. The problem arises when you transfer prescriptions from other chains, or back and forth from chain to chain. Moving your medication from one pharmacy chain to another actually increase your chances of having a drug interaction, because there is no way for the computer to check another chain's computer database. This is another one of many concerns that have fallen on deaf ears.
Lets say that you want to transfer a prescription from one pharmacy chain to another, sounds simple enough, right? Pharmacist have been instructed to either call the other pharmacy back, or to put them on hold, while they call the customer to convince them to not move their prescription. Sometimes this is done by using disparaging remarks about another retail chain, or just making it difficult for them to do so. Who wants to wait on their medication while these companies play a corporate numbers games with each another?
The public should have never let Corporate Pharmacies and big Pharm define the terms of the debate and legislative agenda. Most pharmaceutical workers are intelligent, nice and completely under appreciated not only by the corporations which employ them, but also by the customers they serve.
MG's Health Advice: The Pap Smear is not as accurate to detect cervical cancer and HPV. Right now there are 10 million people on daily prescription drugs, with no medical need. Every 16 minutes someone dies from prescription drug use.
"New drug doesn't mean better drug. "
Sexism Racism
Walgreens has announced that they will no longer honor CVS/Pharmacy drug plan.

Here's the latest battle released from Summer Madness 2 event, it's T-Rex vs Ayeverb. The battle was hosted by Diddy who in the second round up the stakes by throwing in an additional $10,000 to the winner.
It was pretty much a one sided battle and T-Rex had home court advantage, but even without that T-Rex was much more effective than Ayeverb who wasn't very coherent with all his rhymes.
Rex was in rare form, and in much better shape than he was last year.

I created this card for one of the VSN challenges last weekend. For this one you should Mash two techniques together. I picked paper piercing and dry embossing.
For my image I chose one of Mo Manning's little Fairies. She was printed on Neenah Solar White paper and cut and embossed with Petite Oval Nestabilities dies. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Dress: Y32, Y17, YR15, YR18, underpants: R20, R21, R22, Crown and Wand: Y11, Y13, Y15, W2, Hair: YG21, YG23, YG25, Skin: E50, E51, E53, Background: BG0000, BG0000), layered on a piece of black cardstock cut with Scallop Petite Oval Nestabilities and the edges of the image were paper pierced. Clear Spica pen was used to add a subtle sparkle to her crown, wand and wings.
Two 3 3/4″ long strips of the yellow Echo Park Springtime paper were punched with a border punch from Stampin' Up. They were adhered to a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of orange paper from the same paper pack with a piece of pink Springtime paper in between. The paper was dry embossed with Tim Holtz Retro Circles Embossing folder and stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of black cardstock.
1/2″ green silk ribbon was tied around the layers and topped with a Rhinestone Recollection brad. A sentiment from My Favorite Things Clearly Sentimental about you stamp set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut and embossed with the small tag of the Tag Trio die set. It was tied to the brad with Iridescent May Arts Curling Ribbon.
The card base is a piece of 4 1/4″ x 11″ Pink Pirouette paper folded in half. Recollection Rhinestone swirls finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and smiles

The Spennymoor Town Quiz Poster:-
A very worthwhile annual event which benefits the Mayor's charities, but even this has been hijacked for personal gain by Councillor Geldard. Importantly and for obvious reasons Town councillors should not seek personal gain in any way shape or form from town Council run events.
The Poster: Re. Openness, Honesty and Transparency:-
Councillor Geldard is not the "Leader of Spennymoor Town Council" he is leader of the majority labour party only and not the full Town Council.
Councillor Geldard's private business " Geldard's Quiz" is advertised twice on the poster. This is a blatant example of personal gain by a Town councillor!
Please watch out for more openness, honesty and transparency blogs as the labour party provide more examples of the lack of these qualities in their future posters and leaflets.

Viagra, otherwise known as sildenafil citrate, is a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction and other conditions in male patients. The treatment was created by Pfizer and became available on the market in 1998. Viagra is prescribed in oral tablets and is one of the most common forms of erectile dysfunction treatment available today.
Recently, a study found that men using Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction are 84% more likely to develop melanoma than men who did not take the drug. If a man had ever used Viagra in his lifetime, the risk of developing melanoma was about twice as high than for those who never used the drug.
The April 2014 study was conducted by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and included nearly 26,000 participants. The research confirmed that men who are taking or have taken Viagra are at high risk for developing melanoma, even when researchers adjusted for a family history of skin cancer, ultraviolet light exposure in the states where the men lived, other kinds of cancer and major illnesses and other factors.
Other Harmful Side Effects Associated with Viagra Use
Viagra is used in many countries across the world, despite reports of serious side effects, including:
- blindness
- cardiac events
- decreased blood pressure
- sudden death
Your Legal Options
Men who have developed melanoma or other serious medical conditions after using Viagra are encouraged to speak with an experienced attorney to determine if they are eligible for compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and more. If you or a loved one has been affected, do not hesitate to contact Brayton Purcell LLP today.

The story of Moses is a familiar one to many folks. After a threat from the Egyptians to have all Hebrew baby boys killed, he was carried down the river in a basket where he was discovered, and adopted by, Pharaoh's daughter. Later, he moves to the desert, talks to God in a burning bush and goes to set the Hebrews free, raining plagues down on the heads of their oppressors, the Egyptians. Later, he splits the Red Sea so they can escape and receives the 10 Commandments on the top of a mountain.
That's the condensed version, of course. There are a lot of stories about Moses found in the Torah, the Old Testament of the Bible, and in the Koran, as well as oral traditions. He's regarded as the author of the Torah, incorporated as the first five books of the Bible, and as a great prophet for all three Abrahamic faiths. There are movies about him, probably the most famous of these being The Ten Commandments, with Charlton Heston as Moses, and The Prince of Egypt, where Val Kilmer lends his voice to the animated adaptation of the man.
Given the cultural history and weight Moses carries, here is a summary of religious traditions as well as what can be said historically about him.
Religious Traditions
In Judaism, Moses is preeminent of the prophets and called Moshe Rabbeinu, "Moses, our teacher" to show the level of respect he is given. He led the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan, the land promised to Abraham. He is the one who saw God face to face on Mt. Sinai and delivered the Torah to Israel.
In the New Testament of the Christian Bible, Moses is mentioned more than any other Old Testament figure. To Christians, Moses set the stage for Jesus and many parallels between the two have been drawn, from their lives to what they taught. He's regarded as a saint by the Orthodox, Catholic and Lutheran churches.
For an in depth look at Moses and his life, from a Christian standpoint you might be interested in The Life of Moses, which gives an overview of his life as it's written in the Bible and his influence on Christianity.
In Islam he is called Musa and is regarded as Prophet and Messenger, having both a message from God as well as a particular mission to carry out. Like the New Testament, Moses is mentioned more in the Quran than any other person and his life is talked about more than any other. If you're curious to learn more about Islam, there is a free class, Islam for Busy People.
Think Like Jesus, Lead Like Moses is a class that takes the approach of looking at religious teachings and biblical background and applying them to business leadership skills.
Historical View
Relying on religious tradition, we are told that Moses lived about 3000 to 4000 years ago. Jewish tradition says he lived 1391-1271 BCE and some Christian writers say he lived around 1600 BCE.
Beyond a rough timeframe, what we do know about the historical Moses pretty much comes from the Torah and the first five books of the Bible. Apart from those writings, the historical evidence of Moses' life is scarce. There is no mention in Egyptian sources and other ancient records of a man named Moses or an event like the Exodus. Similarly, there is also no hard evidence, beyond teachings, of Socrates, one of the most influential philosophers in history.
A hard lack of evidence does not mean that there was not some historical basis for the events in the Old Testament. Egyptians did have a practice of omitting unfavorable details from records, monuments, and tombs, (like claiming the enemy Hittites were asking Egypt for peace when it was the other way around) because who wants to immortalize unflattering memories? People from ancient historians to modern scholars have tried linking the events in Exodus to the Hyksos or a group of invaders called the Habiru or an activist pharaoh. Egypt did have control over the area of Canaan, Israel's homeland, so the idea that they were oppressed and in slavery to Egypt is not far-fetched.
Regardless of the historical context, or lack of it, as one of the founding figures of the three Abrahamic religions, the influence Moses has had on culture as a lawgiver and leader is undeniable.
