* International Students should NOT complete the FAFSA as you are not eligible for US Federal Financial Aid. Filling out the FAFSA will create problems/delays in the application process.

An Aggressive, Proactive Approach to all Cases
Some California criminal defense lawyers take a wait-and-see approach. They stall until the first court date, or until they receive the police reports, before investigating and working up your case.
By contrast, we believe there's no time to waste. The most critical window for defense work may be the first few days following an arrest, or even prior to formal charges being filed. By getting to work immediately, often we can locate favorable defense evidence and witnesses, and get a "head start" towards defeating the charges.
Private Defense Investigation by Former Police
Make no mistake. Cops concern themselves mainly with aiding the prosecution and building up a case against you. They should not be relied upon to gather favorable evidence that helps exonerate their suspect. They are not on your side.
Our private defense investigators are all former career police officers. But now their job is to find evidence that will benefit you. We assign them
- to re-interview and locate witnesses,
- to canvass neighborhoods,
- to obtain surveillance tapes,
- to do background checks on key prosecution witnesses, and
- to locate evidence to corroborate our client's version of the events.
Knowing the Local Courts
Every county and every courthouse has its own way of doing things. The criminal court process in Los Angeles County, for example, differs significantly from the process in San Bernardino. But even within San Bernardino County, the procedures at the central courthouse vary considerably from Rancho Cucamonga or Victorville.
We assign each of our California criminal defense attorneys to a specific set of courthouses. By working day in and day out in the same places, we develop trusting relationships with judges, prosecutors, probation officers and court staff. Moreover, we know how things work in particular courtrooms and with particular prosecuting agencies. We have learned whom to talk to, who has discretion, and the most effective ways to get the job done.
Close Personal Contact with Your Attorney
Facing criminal charges traumatizes people. Nothing compounds the stress more than the inability to reach your attorney.
At the Shouse Law Group, we put a premium on the accessibility of our California criminal defense lawyers and support staff. We are here to provide moral and emotional support as well as legal representation. To do this, we observe two policies:
- Every client phone call, email, or text is returned the same day; and
- Every client gets the personal cell phone number of his/her attorney and the lawyer's assistant
- Scuba Diving Dive SMB Surface Marker Buoy, Finger Spool, Bolt Snap, Mesh Bag
- Nucanoe Pursuit 13.5 Slide Drawer - Model 2545 - Gear Storage
- PACIFIC VIBRATIONS Compressor quad FCS SURFBOARD FIN SET NEW 4 FINS color smoke
- REV Changer Head Leopard Mammoth Preminum Bowling Wrist Support Bowl A_r
- Fishing Kayak Boat Olive Green with Paddle Water Sports Padded Seat Adjustable

- BCY X99 Bowstring Material 1 4Flo orange Bow String Making
- 45'' Compound Bow Bag Archery Arrow Carry Bag Case Outdoor Hunting Quiver Holder
- Holosun Military Grade Micro Red Dot Sight,CD,Blk HS515GM
Not only does this provide you the assurance of knowing you can reach your lawyer at critical times. It also helps us to do our job more effectively.
We find that close client interaction is pivotal to our work. Our clients are the best resource for understanding what happened and who the key players are in the case. We want to hear from you. And you will definitely be hearing from us as together we map out the story and put together the best defense possible.
Early Intervention Before Charges Get Filed
Sometimes it is possible to stop criminal charges from ever being filed.
After making an arrest or investigating a suspected crime, the police take their evidence to the district attorney. The D.A. evaluates the potential case and decides what criminal charges (if any) to file. Usually, the prosecutor makes this decision based solely on what the police present. But often there is much more to the story.
Many times our California criminal lawyers can also meet with the D.A. during this same time period. We can present our witness statements, our evidence, and our information.
Knowing your side of the story may affect the D.A.'s calculations. When the prosecutors see the whole picture, not just what the police (or the alleged "victim") have to say, they may decide to file lesser charges (a misdemeanor rather than a felony, for example) or not to file criminal charges at all (we call this a "D.A. Reject").
Legal "Second Opinions"
Perhaps you already have a California criminal defense lawyer. Your case has been pending for awhile. Your attorney advises you on a certain case strategy, such as accepting the D.A.'s offer or taking the case to trial. Now you face a major life decision. And you are just not sure what to do.
We can evaluate your case and offer our independent judgment as to your various options and the merits of each. Much like a patient may see another doctor for a "second opinion" before deciding whether to undergo an elective surgery, we can give you a legal second opinion.
In the end, we may concur with your present attorney's position. Or we may not. Or we may suggest a totally different approach. But our advice to you will be
- unbiased,
- independent,
- looking only to your best interests, and
- based on a careful analysis of all the facts and law.
Bail & Release Help
If your loved one is custody, our California criminal defense attorneys can often arrange a "bail hearing" to get bail reduced or to secure an "OR release." We assist inmates in custody at any of the state's jails, including the Twin Towers Jail, the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail, the Orange County Central Jail, the Ventura County Jail, the West Valley Detention Center, the Robert Presley Riverside County Jail and the Clark County Detention Center (Las Vegas Jail).
Types of Cases We Handle.
California DUI Defense Lawyers
Our J Exhaust With Muffler for Honda GX160 & GX200, Predator 212cc, DuroMax 7HP are former DUI prosecutors and law enforcement officers with decades of experience both prosecuting and defending drunk driving cases.
As a former Deputy D.A., Los Angeles DUI lawyer Neil Shouse worked closely with the Vtg. Easton Zapper I Softball Bat Z4 3431 2-1 4 Barrel Angular Bat Handle and police toxicologists, compiling evidence, and presenting cases in court. Now he fights DUI charges. Among the drunk driving cases we handle are Vehicle Code 23152(a), Adidas Freak X Kevlar Mid Football Cleats shoes Flames AQ6840 Mens Size US 11.5, DUI causing injury, hit and run, and gross vehicular manslaughter.
California Violent Crime Charges
Prosecutors and judges take violent crimes the most seriously. California's mandatory sentencing laws can lead to harsh prison sentences.
But many people accused of violent offenses are truly innocent. Often the situation arose out of self-defense, accident, misidentification, false accusations, or mental illness. Our Los Angeles criminal attorneys can help you explore these defenses and fight the charges. We also defend clients prosecuted under PSE Stinger Extreme Bowstring Cable Set w Free String Wax Warranty and California's gang enhancement.
Among the violent crime charges we defend against are:
- Penal Code 187 Murder
- Penal Code 207 Kidnapping
- Penal Code 211 Robbery
- Penal Code 215 Carjacking
- Penal Code 245 Assault
- Penal Code 422 PC Criminal Threats
- Penal Code 451 Arson
California Sex Crimes Defense Lawyers
A conviction for a criminal sex offense can lead to years in Elite Revol Bowstring & Cable Set w Free String Wax Warranty, getting ostracized from the community, and having to register for life as a sex offender. But many innocent people get falsely accused of sex crimes, especially date rape, lewd acts with a child, and sexual assault.
Our California criminal defense lawyers start by scrutinizing the accuser's background. We look to see if the accuser has a history of telling lies and a bias against our client. We independently investigate the case with our own private detectives and forensic experts. Often times we can get charges reduced or dismissed or secure an acquittal at trial.
We defend against all sex crimes charges, including
- Penal Code 243.4 Sexual Battery
- Parker Ultralight Bowstring & Cable Set w Free String Wax Warranty
- PSE Bowmadness XP Bowstring Cable Set w Free String Wax Warranty
- PSE Stinger Stilleto Bowstring Cable Set w Free String Wax Warranty
- Penal Code 290 Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
- Penal Code 311: Child Pornography
- Penal Code 314 Indecent Exposure
- Penal Code 647(a) Lewd Conduct in Public
- EEDAN Scooter for Kids 3 Wheel T-bar Adjustable Height, Pop Grafitti w Defect
California Financial Crime Charges
Most people accused of theft or financial crimes are good citizens with minimal records who simply took a wayward path. And some are factually innocent. In any case, our California criminal defense attorneys can help you fight the charges, often times keeping the stigma of a criminal conviction off your record.
We represent clients as to all financial and property crimes, such as
- Penal Code 459 PC Burglary
- Diamond Marquis Compound Bow String & Cable Sets, Powered By Phyx Archery
- Bear Element '07 Compound Bow String & Cable Sets, Powered Phyx Archery
- Penal Code 496 Receiving Stolen Property
- Penal Code 503 Embezzlement
- Penal Code 666 Petty Theft with a Prior
2-in-1 3-Hole Tournament Bag Toss 3-Hole Washer Toss
More people get wrongfully accused of domestic violence than any other type of crime. Sometimes a person strikes his wife or girlfriend by accident or in self-defense during a mutual struggle.
Other times the accuser lies to the police and makes up false allegations of abuse. Accusers fabricate stories out of anger or jealousy or to gain the upper hand in divorce or child custody proceedings. Whatever the case, our Los Angeles criminal attorneys can help you fight back.
We defend clients against any accusations of domestic violence, spousal battery, or spousal abuse, in particular
- Horse Western Riding Cowboy 145P
- Penal Code 273a Child Endangerment
- Yocaher Micro Cruiser Complete - Route 66 Series - RTE-66 Child Abuse
- NIKE MENS ANKLE TOP FOOTBALL CLEATS SHOES SIZE 9.5 blueeE WHITE SPORTS SHOES NEW
Police frequently use unreliable informants, defective warrants, and other illegal methods to make drug busts. Our California criminal lawyers can challenge these unconstitutional searches and search warrants, in an effort to get evidence and cases thrown out of court.
For clients struggling with addiction problems, we can often help you get Proposition 36, Cornhole Board Wraps Punisher Skull Subdued Flag Yellow Ribbon Fallen Soldier NS, drug court or other treatment programs as an alternative to jail.
We represent clients in all misdemeanor or felony narcotics charges, including
- Health & Safety Code 11350 HS Possession of a Controlled Substance
- Health & Safety Code 11351 HS Possession for Sales
- Health & Safety Code 11352 HS Sales or Transportation of a Controlled Substance
- Health & Safety Code 11377 HS Possession of Methamphetamine.
Contact us for help
We like to start every case the same way: By listening. We sit down with you (and your witnesses) to hear exactly what happened. The police and the accusers are going to have their story. We will be presenting yours. So we want to start by hearing and understanding your side of it. Call us at (855)-JUSTICE or email us to schedule a consultation to see if we are the right California criminal defense lawyers for you.

I LOVE this color! I'm usually a pale pink/nude type of person, but over the summer I decided to experiment with some bright colors on my toes. I would never wear something bright on my hands, just not my style. But for a pedicure, I think this is probably my favorite color ever! It's a bright pink almost red creme. I do NOT like red- I find red tacky, too "look at me", but this is pink enough that it doesn't scream RED. I guess it's like a watermelony pink. Awesome with or without a tan. Can't comment on the staying power because I've only had it on a week but so far no chips or dulling. I'll wear this over and over! :)

I picked Charged Up Cherry for my latest pedicure, and I am lovin' it!!! It looks so darn good on tanned toes, let me tell ya! I can't stop staring at my toes in my flip flops... lol! And normally, I HATE the way my feet look! I've got bunions, hammertoes, etc... but such a silly little thing like a bright- colored nail polish on my toes just makes everything look all better. I can't find a dupe of this in my stash, either. I'm so disappointed-- it is a unique color... sort of a pinkish-corally-red? I compared it to OPI Cajun Shrimp and a lot of berry-colored polishes that I own, but none of them are identical. Looks like I'll be ordering this one from Amazon.com really soon. =)

I had this colour put on my finger and toe nails at the salon today and on my word this is beautiful!! I don't normally go for corally-type colours, I usually just go for pinks or reds, but I thought why not try something different? It's so lovely. Very girly and fun! It looks great on, glides on like a dream and sets well with the base & top coat (also by OPI) used in conjunction. I am seriously considering going out to purchase this nail polish on its own just because I love it so much now. I recommend this!!

What can I say! I bought this shade because I was looking for a coral-ly, pink-y shade and when I saw this I really liked it for its cherry coral attitude. However, its the formula that always makes me rethink my decision when wanting to apply this. Three coats are definately needed on this one. With a sloppy hand the dry time could be longer than desired. The formula is not to the standard that I expect with OPI. Therefore I kinda expect a bit of chipping, possibly, and I always have to use a fast drying topcoat. Otherwise, expect to be sitting there for ages waiting for it to dry. This polish is hard work! Which is a shame because it is the perfect summer, on holiday, manicure and pedicure colour. On this occasion, I won't be repurchasing.

Beautiful pinkish red creme. I love the color on my fair, cool toned (with a tan) skin for a pedicure. It's very bright; however I find the formula to be too thick and streaky. Some of OPI's formulas are extremely smooth and lovely to apply, but this one is not. I won't purchase again.

I got a pedicure and wanted a bright corally pink to look forward to spring, along the lines of the bright pinkish lipsticks that MAC has put out recently. I really like it. It looks more reddish pink in the bottle but corally pink on my NC30 skin tone.

I decided to get Charged up cherry because I'm always wearing light shades of pink and I wanted something brighter and darker almost red. This color is perfect because to me it looks like a mix of pink, coral and red. Indoors it tends to look more subtle and outdoors it looks more bright. This color looks amazing against black clothes! It just makes it pop!

I went to get my nails done today & I chose this color, as I was thinking of doing Essie's Raspberry but they didn't have it. So this is a little pinker than Raspberry mixed with coral. At first I was eh but once it dried it looks so good because it's not a typical pink color or a typical coral color. I love that it's mixed. I would probably find a color similar to this from Essie which would probably be Watermelon considering I'm not too keen of OPI's formula or brush.

Spine surgeons treat disorders of the cervical (neck), thoracic (middle back), and lumbar (lower back) spine. Cervical disorders often result in arm pain whereas thoracic and lower back disorders tend to affect the trunk and legs. Sometimes, cervical disorders can also cause trunk and leg pain. Common disorders of the spine include herniated disk and stenosis. Both of these can cause pressure on one or more nerves as they leave the spinal cord to go to the arms or legs. Sometimes these disorders can put pressure on the spinal cord itself. Arthritis of the spine often contributes to disk herniation and stenosis.
An increasingly common spine problem in our aging population is vertebral compression fracture. This is usually the result of the bones of the spine weakening because of osteoporosis. The vertebra then collapses and can result in significant pain, usually in the middle back. New techniques have been developed in the last couple years to help with the pain due to vertebral compression fracture.
Spine problems don't always require surgery. Often, instruction in the proper care of one's back, medication, and "cortisone" injections can successfully treat spine disorders. The GPOA spine surgeons are well-trained and experienced in developing appropriate surgical and non-surgical treatment plans for their patients with spine problems.

What is The Salt Cured Pig? At its core, The Salt Cured Pig is an attempt to curate and make available (online or otherwise) the knowledge that has come from centuries of trial and error in the creation of cured proteins. We are a diverse global community ranging from hobbyist/enthusiasts to culinary professionals. We focus on small scale and small batch processes, embrace the most currently accepted safety practices and purposefully de-emphasize commoditization. Our ultimate goal is to empower people to safely cure food by unlocking the secrets and demystifying one of the world's greatest food treasures.
Mike Creech grew up in a rural area of Southwest Michigan. Although he didn't live on a farm, he learned early on about planting and harvesting crops from a large family garden. He also spent summers picking fruits and vegetables to eat fresh and learned about preserving food for the winter months. He first began to cook in his parents' kitchen, but worked in a restaurant kitchen while putting himself through college. The biggest impact on Mike's culinary interest was his time studying abroad in Angers, France. He was introduced to a variety of foods and was reminded of important lessons regarding the availability of fresh ingredients in season. He also developed a taste for cured meats that were much more exotic than the bacon and jerky he knew from his youth. These interests continued to develop during a period when Mike lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. The exposure to the culinary melting pot that blended Caribbean, Latin American and Acadian cuisines with French and Spanish ones provided additional opportunities to learn about more flavors and traditions than he had previously known. It was during his time in Louisiana that Mike developed a love of barbecue. Later, he bought a smoker (a Big Green Egg) and for over a decade has been experimenting with spice rubs, sauces and types of wood to pair with different types of meat. More recently, he has branched out to start curing meats and making fresh sausage. While still a home cook, Mike is an avid reader who embraces the challenge of learning new ingredients, dishes and techniques to satisfy his curious palate. A librarian and historian by training, Mike currently works in the field of Information Architecture and web development. He likes to travel and eat and writes about these experiences at The Wandering Glutton (http://wanderingglutton.wordpress.com).
Robert Furmanczyk was born in Australia. He resides in Central Victoria with his wife and four children. Robert and his family farm heritage breed pigs from farrow to finish. These include Hampshires, Wessex Saddlebacks and Berkshires. They run a closed, outdoor herd and their farming operation is officially Certified Organic by NASAA. They also farm some cattle and sheep. Robert has completed a Diploma in Agriculture and a Diploma in Pork Production. Over the years, he has regularly participated in pig training workshops covering housing, health & disease, welfare, nutrition, identification and treatment of compromised pigs and post mortem examination. These workshops were conducted through the government's Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI), under the instruction of Dr Tony Fahy. In 2005, Robert made the decision to leave the "Big Smoke" and enter the world of farming. Prior to following his passion to farm, Robert worked in the automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. His qualifications include an Associate Diploma in Engineering – Mechanical/Manufacturing, Certificate IV in Process Plant Technology and Certificate IV in Small Business Management Robert has a deep passion for food that was influenced by his European grandparents from an early age. One of his simple pleasures is sharing great food with good people. For Robert, eating home grown produce and farming with his family is as good as it gets!
John Gower lives and works at Quiet Waters Farm, in North Devon, UK. The farm is in the same parish in which he grew up on his family's small dairy and horticultural holding. He is a Farmer, grower, Curer and maker of foods. He has worked on a practical and consultancy level in environmentally sensitive building design and construction, rural livelihood systems for new entrants to agriculture as well as strategic Policy and Planning, working for private clients, community projects and Governments. John and his young family grew Quiet Waters Farm from seed, starting with a small area of semi regenerated scrub land, to not only provide a new home and livelihood but also to research ways of starting and sustaining a new land based business purely out of its own generated revenues whilst maximising on farm processing and added value opportunities. He specialises is fresh sausages, producing what is probably the widest range in the UK, and dry cured meats and salumi based on the farms own stock and their natural feed regime. He also cooks and caters events using the farms produce ensuring an involvement in every step of the field to table progression. John is also active in teaching, courses and forums devoted to helping promote quality cured meats within the UK and further afield.
Nicholas E. Heckett is the founder of Woodlands Pork – committed to using Appalachian forest terroir to produce the finest hams and charcuterie in America. He is also a founding partner of The Curehouse of Louisville KY. The Curehouse is a producer of fine quality processed meats sourced from specialty bred and fed animals to create the highest quality products. The Curehouse, in concert with our sister companies, Woodlands Pork and Black Oak Holler Farm, is committed to producing the finest meat, and in particular, dry-cured ham, in America, and we hope, the world. Nick Heckett, Jay Denham & Chuck Talbott of Woodlands Pork have a simple mission: to create an American Charcuterie that will rival the finest in the world from Spain, Italy, and France. The seed of this "American revolution" is germinating at Chuck Talbott's Black Oak Holler Farm in Mason County, West Virginia. By reviving traditional agricultural practices and employing modern climate controlled curing, Woodlands Pork is taking the traditional dry cured American Ham into the 21st century. The forested mountainsides and lush bottomlands of the western Appalachian range in Virginia offer the optimal geographic and climatic conditions for mast finishing pork (that is the practice of allowing hogs to roam freely through the woods, fattening on nuts and other foods: the tree mast). This practice is essential to developing a superior ham for dry curing and Chuck's area of expertise that is unrivaled here and rare abroad. Raised in Ireland, Nicholas lives in Northern Virginia
Kate Hill, a published author and professional cook of 30 years, founded Camont as a cooking school and culinary retreat in 1991 after moving to France from the US. Kate is willingly mentor, coach and teacher. Her programs have grown from her relationships with Gascony's thriving food community – particularly its butchers and charcutiers. This teaching has placed Kate at the forefront of the global nose-to-tail butchery movement. Hill offers an intensive hands-on training program 1-4 weeks as well as international workshops with French farmer/butcher Dominique Chapolard. As former head of Butchery & Charcuterie at the British School of Artisan Food she designed a field to table, 10-month diploma course; Kate founded the International Grrls Meat Camp- a 500 strong group of women farmers, butchers, chefs and teachers. Kate also teaches and consults with professionals like Michael Ruhlman for Conde Nast Traveler, and the BBC's French Odyssey series with chef Rick Stein, which was filmed at Camont. Her work has been featured in Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, Dish, Appellation and Maison Sud Ouest magazines, as well as the New York Times, the LA Times, London Times and the Boston Globe. Kate welcomes students to Camont throughout the year.
Laurence Mate's paternal grandparents ran a butcher shop and green grocer's out of their 17th-century stone house, next to the pub, in the little village of South Cerney, located in the Cotswolds. Although his father emigrated to the US to pursue an academic career in low-temperature physics, the family came back to England every summer to work in the market garden and orchards. ] A taste of true, slow-and-low barbecued ribs at Abe's Barbecue in Clarksdale, Mississippi, started him on his meat-making career, and it has long since spiraled out of control from a hobby to an obsession, reading everything he can get his hands on, questioning, experimenting, learning, un-learning, and re-learning. Resisting all attempts to kill his love of cooking by making it his day job, he continues to work out of a 9 X 12 "meat lair" in his basement. You can follow what he's cooking up on facebook at This Little Piggy Meats & More.
John Patterson started the Salt Cured Pig in an attempt to bring together people to teach himself how to cure meats like what he remembered in Europe. What he didn't know was how deep the rabbit hole went. The more he learned he realized he didn't know anything. Coming from an information technology background helped him see a niche. As he learned and brought in other mentors, he could categorize that information into something others could learn from. He did not want cured meats to be just another fad on the United States culinary map. As someone who grew up with Attention Deficit Disorder he knew that not every one learns the same way…so the goal was to create a community that taught in as many methods as possible. Live, video, text, conversations… He also chose as a focus for the group that ingredients do matter, especially when one of those ingredients started as a living beast. It deserves our respect, it deserves a sacrifice with dignity and a life not filled with stress and confinement. Too be naturally pasture raised, hopefully in the woods and free to roam. A pig that has just one bad day… John also runs the Annual BizarreBQ at different sustainable farms, bringing consumers and chefs directly to farmers to break the Mega-Grocery Store chain and create last relationships while having a very interesting Potluck.
Bob Perry is the Special Projects Manager for the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Working Group in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky and a lab instructor in the Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition. In addition to teaching his task is to promote the development of new food enterprises, markets and products by connecting university expertise with Kentucky entrepreneurs, farmers and chefs. He has been a professional chef for over twenty-five years in such operations as private yachts, steamboats, high-speed ferries, trains and restaurants that don't move including his own French Provencal Bistro "The Farmers Hall". In 2004 while Director of Foodservice for the KY State Park system's twenty one restaurants he initiated the first government farm direct produce purchasing program in the nation and in 2005 fostered a regulatory change that allowed the restaurants to also farm direct purchase fresh meat and dairy. At UK since 2006, he designed the "KY Hamburger Alliance" to bring producers together to make hamburger patties and from that developed UK's whole carcass program for dining services and other extensive Farm to College efforts. His current research is creating data sheets for all eight breeds of heritage American hogs to be used by farmers and chefs. If you are ever on UK's campus the First Friday of the month you can find him preparing a hyper local breakfast for the sustainable ag community in the Good Barn.

Summer 2012
Because I am the head of Montana's protection and advocacy system for people with disabilities—and because I've had this job for almost 15 years—I know a thing or two about what it takes to make people safe in hospitals and institutions and treatment programs.
I know that the key to safety for people with disabilities is transparency. Transparency happens when people with disabilities are heard, seen, respected and included.
When a person with a developmental disability reports abuse, transparency means that: The report of abuse is documented and sent on to the right agencies, including law enforcement. The victim is examined, and evidence is preserved. The victim is included in the fact-finding process and allowed to give a full account of what happened, even if that means some extra steps for the investigator, like getting help from an expert, recording the interview or conducting more than one interview.
In other words, a report made by a person with an intellectual disability is treated with just as much respect as a report made by someone without that kind of disability.
In the spring of 2010, a young woman at the Montana Developmental Center in Boulder, Mont., reported that she had been sexually assaulted. A staff person persuaded her to have sex with him in exchange for Skittles. She reported the assault, but the MDC investigator persuaded her to withdraw her report. Fortunately, she soon reported to another staff person, and that person stood up to the investigator, took the young woman to a hospital and started the process that ended with the attacker being convicted and sentenced to prison.
When DRM learned about the assault and learned that the MDC investigation did not start until more than two days after the victim reported, we asked the Montana attorney general to investigate. The attorney general's report shows that the MDC investigator often failed to do thorough, competent investigations.
DRM already knew that. Every year for more than 10 years, at least one licensing survey of MDC has concluded that MDC fails to "thoroughly investigate" abuse reports.
We have reviewed many of those MDC investigations, and we know they are often incomplete and incompetent.
The latest Medicaid survey, released in May, again concludes that MDC fails to do thorough investigations. The survey describes an "investigation" that was done without any input from the MDC resident who had It's time to embrace the principles of Olmstead reported abuse. The reason no one talked to the victim? "It could have caused a behavior problem," according to MDC staff.
In June, legislators invited the Department of Public Health and Human Services to talk about MDC's problems. MDC staff admitted that MDC has been a really troubled facility for a very long time. They admitted that MDC was way overdue for an overhaul. They argued that everything was being fixed.
I wasn't surprised when the legislators rejected those promises and assurances as too little, too late. Instead, the legislators decided to draft a bill that will require the department to come up with a plan to close MDC and replace it with a different system.
Yes, it's time to close MDC. It's time to replace that institution with a system that will serve Montana better, today and for the next decade. It's time to embrace the principles described by the United States Supreme Court in the 1999 Olmstead decision. People with disabilities can and should almost always be served in the community.
We need a system that is less wasteful, more expert, flexible enough to respond to new demands and cost effective. And we need a system that is safer. Will the department still have a role? You bet! The department can license, certify, monitor, review, inspect and report on the new system and help push it toward excellence.
And as Montana's protection and advocacy system, we'll continue to play our part, taking a second look at everything. We will be watching, listening and shedding light onto the system, so that the people it serves are seen, heard and safe.
You can listen to or watch the Children and Families Interim Committee hearing on MDC online. The quickest way to get to the legislative services audio/video archive, is by visiting DRM's website: www.disabilityrightsmt.org. Look for the link on our home page.
Bernadette Franks-Ongoy is executive director of Disability Rights Montana, the civil rights protection and advocacy system for people with disabilities.

Upgrading from Sharkhide to Alumetron
Roy Railsback asked:
I'd like to try your product, however, I have shark hide on the hull now. What do I need to do to prepare the hull to use your product? Also, I have a DA electric polisher, can I use it with your product? Thx, Roy
For your convenience, I've highlighted the hyperlinks. Click on the hyperlink to get more information about the selected product.
It all depends on the present condition of your pontoon or hull. First of all the Sharkhide will have to be stripped off. I believe that can be done with a solvent. In most cases, Sharkhide is only applied above the waterline although some boat owners coat the entire pontoon or hull if they haul or lift the boat when not in use. Alumetron and VS721 is recommended for below as well as above the waterline.
After your get the Sharkhide off, you need to clean the aluminum and restore it to the original finish because Alumetron will only bond to the raw aluminum and if there are stains and streaks, they will always be there and show through the clear finish. If you have algae below the waterline, it can easily be removed with Algex. If the hull or pontoons are stained and streaked or have a heavy waterline stain, they will have to be buffed back to the original mill finish with Alumabuff and a Linear Buffer with the special Buffing Pads.
You cannot use a rotary or DA buffer as it will cut across the grain and the final finish will be full of swirl marks, resembling Oreo cookies. You need to buff back and forth, horizontally with the grain. Buffing can be done by hand with a Marine Power Mitt and Alumabuff but it's a lot of hard rubbing and takes forever. The few that have tried it gave up with sore shoulders and ordered the special buffer to finish the job. The Linear Buffer has a 16′ pad and moves back and forth, with the grain, up to 3,000 strokes per minute. Imagine doing that by hand. That's why you can usually buff out a pontoon in less than 60 minutes. Alumabuff is water based and the residue can be rinsed clean with water.
Here's a link to our Pontoon Calculator. It will help you determine the products you need and there are links to some how to videos that can help. If yours is an aluminum boat, calculate the square footage by multiplying the length times the beam for the bottom, add the length times the freeboard height, times 2 for the sides and add the width times the height of the transom. Adjust the input number of the calculator until you get the approximate square footage number and that will tell you how much of each product you require and the total cost.
Thanks for your question,
Captain Aurora

With my birthday coming up this Sunday, I can't help but wonder, where has the time gone? Now I know whoever is reading this is probably thinking, "Ok girlfriend, 23 is young." Yes it still is, but ask the girl I babysit and I'm an old fart. I'm excited for this year despite the contrary of what Blink 182 says, "No one likes you when you're 23."
New Years and your birthday (to me) feel like new beginnings. I'm not going to make a list of things that I want to do while I'm 23 because what I've learned throughout my years, is that plans, goals and lists change everyday. The way I see it, I have 365 days to use which ever way I please. That's a bigger responsibility than just a list of 23..bring it on life.

If you've recently found out you're pregnant again, you may not be sure if you'd like to continue on with the pregnancy or not. If you're not sure you can afford to have another child because you're already struggling as it is, it's important to discuss options with family planning counselors. These professionals understand you may be going through a lot and they want to help you make decisions that will benefit you now and in the future.
Discuss the Options You Have
One of the first things you should do after finding out your pregnant is to schedule some time to meet with family planning counselors. It's there that you'd be able to discuss your situation and find out about the options available to you. If you're earlier on in your pregnancy, abortion may be an option. The counselor you talk to may explain to you the process of the abortion and what you should expect if you were to go through with that process.
You'll learn about other options, too. For example, if you'd like to keep the baby, but you're worried about not having enough money for food and necessities, the family planning counselors could provide you with information on various government assistance programs designed to help women and families that are struggling. The counselors may even bring up the idea of adoption. If you don't feel comfortable going through with an abortion procedure, but you're not ready to have another child, you might want to look into placing the baby for adoption to a couple that does want a child.
After you've discussed things over with the family planning counselor and have received some comforting advice, you may make your decision and decide to either get an abortion, go through with the adoption process, or have the child and apply for programs and resources that are there to help people in need.
Learn More About Contraceptives
Because you may be dealing with an unexpected and unplanned pregnancy, learning more about contraceptives is important. When you're no longer pregnant, whether it's because you've had an abortion or have given birth to the child, it's important to practice safe sex to avoid situations like this from happening all over again. Some women get pregnant because they don't know much about contraceptives, but there are lots of different ways to protect yourself from an unplanned pregnancy. Some of your options include different types of oral birth control, female condoms, and male condoms.
If you're currently pregnant, you might not know what to do. If the pregnancy wasn't planned, you may be unsure if you want to keep the baby, choose adoption, or go through with an abortion. Reach out to family planning counselors to talk about these options and then make your decision. You'll even get to learn more about contraceptives that could keep you protected and prevent unplanned pregnancies from happening in the future.
For more family planning information, contact a counselor near you.Share

There is no single mantra for nailing every project you take on. However, here are a few practices you can follow to ensure you stay on top of things.
1. Prepare a thorough project plan
Before kick starting your project, you need to establish the project objectives and carefully analyze its scope. A well planned, methodical approach is bound to deliver better results. Choose the right people with the right skill sets for your team and thoughtfully allocate resources. Set milestones to track your projects, ensuring everything goes as per schedule. Be certain you thoroughly analyse the risks involved, so that you can proactively mitigate them before they turn into real problems. Make sure you have a fallback plan in place to be activated in case all efforts to manage a risk fail.
2. Communicate effectively
Communication within the team is crucial between all members, regardless of what part each one plays. It's not about merely conveying facts. It's about making everyone see their role in the team and the impact they can make on the project. Sound communication improves teamwork, builds trust and fosters lasting relationships among team members. Good communication among team members ensures that everyone gets the same message and is on the same page. When you team communicates effectively, as Aristotle put it, "the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
3. Choose a great Project Manager
Want to deliver quality projects on time? Select the right project manager and you're half way there. The right project manager is not one who can just communicate with the team, delegate tasks and monitor work. He/She should be able to see the larger picture and strategize in tandem with the corporate vision. Being the one who runs the show, the project manager needs to have close interactions with the team members and ensure they have a good work-life balance. Setting up a good culture goes a long way in creating an environment where work is engaging, productive and often fun.
4. Consistently monitor and track progress
Continuous evaluation of projects is of paramount importance. Any fluctuation from baseline should be identified and swiftly dealt with to keep the project on time, within scope and under budget. It's always better to evaluate based on micro deliverables rather than on major indicators. Asses if these miniature milestones are achieved. Classify each milestones as met or not met – nothing halfway. Examine your projects purely based on data gleaned from metrics. Leave no room for wishful thinking or false optimism.

Starting with the first half of August 2008, software developers have available the resources necessary to build drivers for Windows 7 RTM
Build 7600, but also for previous releases of the Windows client and server operating systems.
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) Version 7.0.0 contains the tools, code samples, documentation, compilers, headers and libraries with which software developers create drivers for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2003. This development kit does not contain device drivers for your personal computer, reads an excerpt from the overview for Windows Driver Kit Version 7.0.0.
But in addition to the WDK, Microsoft has also updated the documentation made available for developers in order to better leverage the resource. While WDK for Windows 7 RTM has been live for a few weeks, the updated documentation was only offered to devs on August 14th, 2009. The Windows Driver Kit documentation is currently available for download and integration with Windows 7.
Hopefully you've already downloaded the new Windows 7 version of the WDK, which has all the latest Windows 7 headers, libraries, samples, and test applications, said Mark Lawler [MSFT], WDK programming writer. We've also released an even later version of the documentation. It has additional topics that we wrote after the rest of the Windows 7 WDK was frozen. A few examples: Device and Driver Installation: Device Metadata Packages (three new topics); Display: Installing Display Drivers Optimized for Windows 7 and Later; Network: Wake-on-Wireless LAN.

Getting copies made of keys is something we all have to do at some point. Many hardware or home improvement stores offer key cutting services. Why should you choose your local certified locksmith over these alternatives?
Here's why you should have a certified locksmith do all your key cutting.
They can duplicate any key
Having your keys cut by a certified locksmith means you will always have a key that works. Whether you need a new house key, car key or specialty key, a locksmith will have the correct key blank. Many hardware stores with key cutting services don't have more specialized key blanks. Unless you are duplicating a standard house key, chances are good that they won't be able to help.
Not only do certified locksmiths have a wide array of key blanks, but they are trained in key cutting. Their machines are calibrated more often, meaning you get a more accurate copy. This is especially important for car keys. Newer car locks and ignitions are more sensitive and require a closer-fitting key. Locksmiths can also program a new transponder to your car, eliminating the need for buying duplicate keys from the dealer.
If you don't have the key you need duplicated, a certified locksmith can also cut a new key for an existing lock.
They specialize in locks
What's in a name? For a locksmith – plenty. A certified locksmith in Chicago understands locks and will ensure that your new key is perfect. One thing a locksmith generally does is ensure that there are no sharp edges or imperfections. By smoothing off the newly cut metal, a certified locksmith guarantees that it won't scratch or damage the inside of your lock.
A lock that is scratched or damaged may work improperly or cause a moving part to shift when it shouldn't. That could result in your new key working in the morning but not when you get home from work. It could also result in your new key getting stuck.
They stand behind their product
It's already been stated that certified locksmiths are trained in key cutting. Not only does this mean that they do high-quality work, but also that they can do it quickly and efficiently. Getting your keys cut by someone who doesn't specialize in it means a greater chance of error.
If a key from a hardware store doesn't work, you have to go through a refund process and possibly have someone else try to cut a working key. The majority of certified locksmiths will re-cut a key on the spot if it doesn't work in your lock.
Whether you need a spare for a friend or in case you lose your original, key cutting is best left to a certified locksmith. If you need a new key cut, call Omega Locksmith and be assured of a high-quality new key that really works.

Can she vanquish those preventing peace?
Can she vanquish those preventing peace?
Read more.
It is the year 1540 on an island that is home to a barbaric culture where three cities under despotic Chieftains have long been at war. Twelve-year-old Rebalagh is a Chieftain's Maiden, the first daughter of the first wife of Samitkan's Chieftain, destined never to marry and perhaps to be sacrificed. By custom, Maidens are reared in freedom to make them happier gifts to whichever gods will receive.
Then Rebalagh is captured and taken to wife by an enemy Chieftain with whom she falls deeply in love. When war between her father and her husband again looms, she risks her life to prevent it, but it seems the only way to save the men she loves is to create a peaceful culture in a world whose gods now ensure there can never be peace. Eventually she comes to see that in order to make peace possible she will have to first vanquish her people's gods.

WRITER'S BLOCK? NO SUCH THING by Linda Barnett-Johnson
The dark recesses of your brain, known as the cerebral cortex, is where the words to your many stories lay dormant. They've taken a leave of absence without any authorization. You know they're there because you've accessed them many times before. Is this what is known as "writer's block?"
Is there such a thing as "writer's block?" Does our writing mind shut down like a factory when it's time to go home? Does our writing ability
go on vacation
or enter la-la-land? Or does it act like a
signal light
going from green, writing without ceasing; yellow, slowing down - getting off the track; or red, complete meltdown - do not pass go or collect $200.00 - stopped dead in its tracks.
If writer's block existed, you wouldn't be able to write your name, make out a shopping list,
pay your
bills, or write down an appointment and keep it! So unless you're dead or in a coma, there are many opportunities to get over your "writer's block."
Get Creative:
Go to the park with pen and paper and write what you see. Then what you hear, smell, feel and taste. Your senses are always in working condition. For example: "The bird looked like it stood still in the air." Now fill it in with more description. "The large hook-billed eagle hovered over the ground, looking for prey with his keen eyes." Try it with all the senses.
Another trick is to take your dictionary and start reading the words. A lot of times this will trigger something loose. Or randomly pick a word and write about it. How about randomly picking a word and adding the word, land or village or town behind it. For example: I close my eyes and my finger lands on - "revolve." Now put the word land behind it and you have - Revolve Land. I don't know about you, but I can see a children's story about a town that has revolving playgrounds or schools. Use your imagination and you'll be surprised at what you come up with.
I have a fun project I started that keeps my brain from going to la-la-land.
1) Take a small box about 12"x12" (or a size that suits you), and write "Story Starters" on it.
2) Get some baggies, a
black marker
, pen, and
notebook paper
3) On one baggy write: "Character Names, another "Settings," another "Emotions" and the last "Objects."
4) a) Take your pen and paper and write as many "Character Names" you can think of. Just make up names. Get a
phone book
if you have trouble. Fill up the whole page. Now do the same with "Settings," "Emotions," and "Objects."
b) Cut and fold each one and put them in their individual marked baggy.
c) Now draw a paper from each baggy. You now have a "Story Starter."
Here's an example:
Character Name Setting Object Emotion
Baron Colmsby Concert Baby Girl Funny
I choose one piece of paper from each baggy and this is what I come up with. My imagination is running wild. I visualize Baron Colmsby at a musical concert. Someone has brought a baby to the event. Think of funny incidents regarding the Baron and the baby. In fact, that would be a good title for the story - The Baron and the Baby. Could make for a funny story.
You can make a baggy for anything. How about: "Story Titles," "occupations," "mannerisms," to name a few. That's the fun of this project. I even have a baggy with "phobias." Whatever phobia I pick from the bag, you can be sure that one of my characters has it. It's a blast! There are tremendous possibilities, as well as a myriad of things to write about. Keep it simple, or make it as elaborate as you want.
So you see there are potentials all around us. All you need is your imagination and your senses. So, in my opinion, unless you have no imagination, there's no reason for "writer's block!"

DIRTY TRAIL OF TEARS by Linda Barnett-Johnson
Misery fills her eyes,
Leaving the doctors office.
Tears make a dirty trail,
Through thick make-up.
Blocked Tubes
Overwhelming pain,
She screams injustice,
Massages her barren tummy,
Questioning - Why?
Will her husband love her?
Will he seek another?
For children to fill the
Quiet house with laughter?
She packs away the clothes,
Her babies would have worn.
Caressing each lovingly,
Tears stain each one.
Empty words
Empty feelings
Empty arms

This will send cold shivers shooting down your spine
This will send cold shivers shooting down your spine
teen against teen, teen against nature, teen against himself
– and teen against ghost in this fast-paced psychological adventure with paranormal and historical elements. Influences:
Life of Pi, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, The Wasp Factory,
Lord of the Flies
Darkly captivating from start to finish
By M. Muir
When the
seemingly psychotic hallucinations of a 15-year old boy become entangled with mystical Chinese characters from millennia ago, fantasy and reality spin out of control.
The story begins when a group of unenthusiastic mis-fit, mid-teen kids are unwillingly signed up on
a 'character building' adventure at sea aboard an ill-named Chinese junk
– the 'Good Fortune'. However, when confronted by his vivid imaginings, James struggles to find himself and in doing so involves his friends and shipmates in a
dark and sometimes fatal outcome.
A feeling of foreboding builds from the first chapter and slowly creeps over the ship in a veil of
palpable fear.
During this time James must decide if the images running rampant in his mind are real or not. Collison's
superb descriptive prose, natural dialogue, plus evocative similes combine to make this book an unforgettable read.
Brilliantly penned
by the author - Collison's extensive research reveals the ritual funerary customs and culture of China's Peacock Throne during the time of the Ming dynasty.
The story is magical, enigmatic, haunting, frightening and downright good.
Whether you are 17 or 70,
Water Ghosts
will grab you and draw you down into a maelstrom of mystery and malevolent spirits sending cold shivers shooting down your spine.
I cannot rate this book highly enough.A good read for a variety of age groups.

I'm in Atlanta this week for Coca-Cola, drinking my fill of free Diet Coke. The trip has been fabulous, especially for one reason Coca-Cola couldn't have imagined when inviting me: my own hotel room. Getting a break has been awesome – even a short one, and boy has it felt too short – from the remodel while I cozy up in a comfy bed, my own TV, and even more luxurious, my own bathroom. Even if the shower is glass and in the center of the room. The W is risque like that. And it seems like attitude behind the shower openness is reflected in the hotel bar… Oh my.
Back to reality tomorrow.
Disclosure: Coca-Cola paid for my trip to Atlanta. All opinions are my own.

Gitzo G1098 Basalt Tripod + Really Right Stuff BH-30 Ball Head + B2-LLR-II + FujiFilm X30
Finding a good tripod and ball-head for a compact camera is not the easiest thing to do. There are simply so many choices on the market today and without handling the things it's difficult to get a real feel for their size and weight. If you travel with your camera you may well want to have a tripod with you but you sure as heck won't want a heavy one. Small cameras also don't handle well on large tripod and ball-head setups so it's always worth matching your equipment carefully. The G1098 weighs in at 810 grams and is 36cm long with a max height of 130cm. It's rated for 2KG though it feels sturdy enough to support more. The RRS BH-30 is actually not the smallest ball-head the company make but it's the smallest that features a panning lock, which is something I always want on a ball-head. It's 75mm high, 40mm across the base, weighs 218 grams and is rated to 6.8 KG. One thing I like about the RRS ball-heads is they suffer from ZERO slippage. I've had much larger ball-heads that always slipped a bit but the BH-30 is solid as a rock when locked. You'll need a quick release clamp to quickly attach and release the camera. I use an RRS B2 LLR II but only because I already had one. You would normally use a much smaller one and there's no reason not to purchase one of the cheaper versions sold from China. The combo, then, gives you a very sturdy tripod setup with a total weight of around 1KG and a size small enough to pop in your day-pack. Indoors for studio type work it's steady enough for a compact camera like the FujiFilm X30 but be sure to use a cable release or wireless release. I have both the JJC ES628F3 and the JJC MA-R. The last thing you'll want to look at is a base plate or L plate. I prefer an L plate, personally. This is the one I use and how I modified it to better work with the FujiFilm X30. Here's a better shot of the RRS BH-30 ball-head.

Saint-Estèphe appears on wine maps the world over and is located the furthest North of all the commune appellations of the Médoc, situated on the Left Bank of the Garonne it borders Pauillac to its South and Lower Medoc to its North.
Although Saint-Estèphe has no first growths from the 1855 classification to lead the way it includes five Cru Classé properties in the 1855 classification, and a number of Cru Bourgeois estates.
Saint-Estèphe is quite different to the other famous commune appellations of Pauillac, St-Julien, and Margaux due to the extraordinary characteristics of its terroir composed of Light upper soils with a clayey subsoil and limestone underneath arranged in terraces overlooking the Gironde.
With the strong presence of limestone, these are wines have great minerality that is not found elsewhere in Bordeaux, they are predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Saint-Estèphe wines, marked by more clayey sub-soils, are typically Rich, fruity, well-structured, Tannic and Powerful with a wonderful ageing potential.
The unique diversity of both its terroir and wines offer exceptional opportunities from its Crus Classes properties, which in a good vintage can rival the best bordeaux's left bank has to offer, through to its many other Chateauxs which when sort out can provide some excellent wines at great prices.
|Planted Grapes
|Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Carmenère
|Ageing Potential
|Red: 5 to 50 years
|Typical Style
|Rich, fruity, well-structured, Tannic and Powerful
|Typical Aromas
|Refined and elegant with blackcurrant, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.
|Food Matching
|All types of roasted meat, stews, poultry and cheese

If you find yourself a real fan of Iraqi fava-dill rice and kubba halab, this kubba is a dream come true.
It is quite simply everybody's beloved kubba halab, with a twist. The incorporation of fresh dill in the crust achieves phenomenal results.
The herb is so aromatic, you don't need too much of it.
The crust is still that amazingly crispy, delicate shell enveloping a spicy, moist meat filling.
Small twist, huge results. A definite must-try.
For the filling:
300g minced meat
2 onions, chopped finely
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cinemon
1/4 tsp alspice
1/2 tsp ground noomi
1 cup parsley, chopped
For the crust:
1 cup rice
2 large potato, peeled, cut into cubes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
To make the filling: saute the mince in a pan until browned, add the onion, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice, and noomi. Keep cooking until onions are transparent and there is little to no liquid left.
Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, stir in the parsley, allow to cool completely.
To make the crust, boil all the crust ingredients together for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are half cooked and the rice grains have doubled in size.
Drain and spread on a tray to cool and dry off.
Push the crust ingredients through a meat grinder machine (using the fine hole disc).
Knead the resulting dough with the chopped dill to evenly distribute the herb.
To form the kubba, it is easier to have a bowl of water to wet your hands with so it will not stick.
Take a walnut-sized ball of dough, and cradeling it in the palm of one hand, use you index finger of the other hand to fom a hollow in the middle of the ball (see picture).
Fill with a teaspoon of the filling, and seal, eventually forming a torpedo shape, with slightly pointy ends.
I suggest freezing the kubba, in a single layer and well spaced before deep frying them.
If they are not fried frozen, they might break up inside the frying oil and cause a large mess.
While frying, avoid touching with any tool as it might break the fragile crust. Instead, gently swirl the pot to allow the kubba to turn themselves over.
Serve warm as a side dish.
