BeautyBox5 [June 2014]
The theme of the June 2014 BeautyBox5 is "Summer Chic":
May 2014 BeautyBox5!
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five beauty or skincare samples to your doorstep for only $12 a month (and the shipping is free)! Ordering recurring boxes gives you an even greater discount.
The theme of the May 2014 box was "Fresh and Focused."
MaskerAide in Detox Diva: Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask
Full size: $4.99 for one mask
BB5: Full size ($4.99 value)
This was refreshing and fun. I like the convenience of sheet masks but at $5 per application, it's not quite a bargain.
Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths with smooth powder finish in Restore
Full size: $2.97 for 10 wipes
BB5: 3 wipes (~$0.90 value)
It was unclear what these were supposed to be used for... I thought they'd be like Blum all-purpose cleansing wipes in last month's box, but these are supposedly meant for refreshing the underarm area. They have a very strong "fresh clean" fragrance to them that I wasn't very fond of. I'd rather have a multi-use product with a more generic scent to it than these.
Cattiva Precisione Retractable Waterproof Eye Liner in Black
Full size: $20.00 for 0.012oz
BB5: Full size ($20.00 value)
I was happy that this wasn't dry or brittle--it applied sooo smoothly. It's a slightly greyish black, not a true midnight black, but it's a nice eyeliner. It isn't 100% smudge proof, but I use eye primer all the time and threw on a bit of shadow on top to "set" it.
Harvey Prince "Hello" perfume
Full size: $55.00 for 1.7 fl oz
BB5: Sample spray vial, 0.05 fl oz (~$1.62 value)
This smells nice and fresh and bright. It's a good scent for the warmer months, a little generic still a nice perfume that I'll wear occasionally.
H20+ Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel
Full size: $18.00 for 4 fl oz
BB5: 0.27 fl oz (~$1.13 value)
Unfortunately, this didn't do much for me. It's a very, very, very gentle cleanser, and the little sample doesn't last long because I felt like I needed to use a lot of it to get any results at all. It has a nice faint clean scent to it.
Overall, this box is about a $28 value. The eyeliner and perfume are the products I'm most likely to continue to use and enjoy. Even though I'm not crazy about the other items, the $12 pricetag (with free shiping) still seems worth it.
Even Glow Serum – Vitamin C 20% – Antioxidant Treatment enriched with *Skin Super Oils – 98% Natural Ingredients.
Currently on sale: $35.00 for 1.18 oz, with FREE shipping on Amazon
EVENS SKIN TONE: Vanquish dark spots and skin discoloration, replacing uneven and ill-textured skin with smooth, wrinkle-free skin that leaves you looking flawless and ageless.
December BeautyBox5
Let's take a look at this month's BeautyBox5!
The foot buffer is basically am oversized nail buffer. I have zero interest in buffing my feet--when you're a runner, those callouses are there for a reason! Besides, it's the middle of winter--I've been wearing and will continue to wear boots for months :p The good news is that I will totally use to buff my fingernails. Smoothing out the ridges in my nails really makes my mani look a thousand times better! Yes, I'll use it; no, I don't think it's worth $5; no, I'm not using it the way it was intended. It's a tissue.
This lotion smells great, absorbs quickly and does a great job moisturizing. But I feel like the price is a bit high for the amount of product. If I'm paying that, I would expect fancier packaging. In any case, you can never have too many travel sized lotions for your purse or actual travel! This is definitely one BB5 item that's going to get used!
The lip stain is interesting. It does slightly stain my lips but I didn't feel that it's plumping at all. Also, the formula is thick to a fault--I love tacky glosses but this is actually hard to squeeze out of the tube. The color is alright and the length of wear is alright... it's just not worth the effort. And for $13 I feel like I could get a much better product.
The NYX Love in Rio palette looks pretty and fun in the case. But it kind of looked like a train wreck on my lids. I'm usually pretty adventurous with my eye shadow but this looked bad enough that I covered it up with other eyeshadow after taking photos. The shadows are really sheer and powdery/chalky, even with a good primer. While this does come in other color combos, I've tested some of them and was also pretty underwhelmed. Unfortunately, I don't think it's even worth the couple of bucks, and I definitely won't be using it.
This Clean & Clear moisturizer was the total dark horse of this box! I don't always use moisturizer because my skin is really oily and acne-prone, so I'm pretty picky. But after using a cleanser that made my face extremely dry and tender after one use, I was so happy that this gel moisturizer soothed my skin without turning my face into a shiny mess. It's affordable and gentle but effective. Definitely a winner!
So, out of this month's five product: 1 amazing product that will probably become repurchased, 2 good products that I'll get some use out of, and 2 items that were duds. Three outta five ain't bad.

Beauty Box 5 November Box!
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five beauty or skincare samples to your doorstep for only $12 a month (and the shipping is free)! Ordering recurring boxes gives you an even greater discount.
Let's take a peek at this month's goodies, shall we?!
Aveeno Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash
Last month's BB5 also had an Aveeno product. While I think Aveeno makes great products, they're readily available, so getting one in a sample box is kind of a letdown. It has a pleasant sweet, clean smell to it. At least I can use it!
Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant & Deodorant
While this is fantastic deodorant, like the Aveeno products, Secret is so mainstream that it's kind of underwhelming to get this in a sample box. Also, there was supposed to be a manufacturer's coupon for a FREE deodorant, but I didn't have one in my box (there was a Travalo mini atomizer 25% off coupon?). It's a bit more expensive than your regular deodorant/antiperspirant, but if you need the strong stuff, or work out a lot, it's better to just shell out the extra buck or two. FYI: I've heard it's better to apply antiperspirant at night so it has more time to take effect!
Body Drench Lip Drench
I got this in Coconut Lime. I really like it because the fragrance is "real"... it actually smells like coconut and limes! It's moisturizing too. $4.99 is a little much for lip balm though--that's about twice what I'd prefer to pay.
Bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Powder
I recieved "Ha Ha" which is a royal blue shimmery eye shadow. The color is pretty bold, but it's a fun pop of color on the lower lashline, blended out. While the color isn't the easiest to wear, the texture is smooth and it applies well, without too much fallout for a loose shadow.
Lots of practical products in the November Beauty Box 5! While the Secret deodorant/antiperspirant and Aveeno body wash were a little disappointing because they're not really novel products, they're still very useful, and the cooling mask and lip balm also fit well into the theme of "Prep. Primp. Sparkle."--being ready for whatever the night may bring! As I've said before, while subscription boxes aren't the best use of money for gals who are particular, they can be FANTASTIC for those travelling, or gals looking to try a lot of products without committing to full-sized products.

Beauty Box 5 October Box!
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five beauty or skincare samples to your doorstep for only $12 a month (and the shipping is free)! Ordering recurring boxes gives you an even greater discount.
I was really excited when Beauty Box 5 reached out to me to be on their review team!
My thoughts on these products:
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
While I think it's a good basic product (it's moisturizing without being heavy, the oatmeal scent is faint but pleasant), it's readily available, I've tried it before, and it's not very exciting to see a travel-sized container in my BB5.
Model Co Illusion Lip Pencil
I haven't tried any Model Co products before, so I liked the opportunity to try out a new brand, and I liked that it was a full-sized product. Although the color looks a little cool on me on it's own, it's a good neutral nude base for lipstick. Although the pencil seemed a little dry and tugged at my lips a bit, it's not drying--it feels pretty comfortable on my lips, and I like that the cap has an included sharpener.
Swissco Glitter Toe Separators
These are cute as far as toe separators goes, but I never use these things. Does anyone actually use these??
La Fresh Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes
I really did NOT like these. The fragrance was too strong for me, and the wipes did not do a good job of removing any of my makeup. I needed to use two wipes to get the majority of my makeup off, and then still used a good foaming cleanser afterwards to get rid of any residue. I would not buy these.
Nubar Alter Ego Nail Laquer
While I love glitter polish, I know a lot of adults who wouldn't find this very useful or practical (for work). At least it's during the holiday season. While it looks orange in the bottle but looks like iridescent glitter on my nails (no orange tint).
For only $12, I'm not really disappointed in my October Beauty Box 5, because I did get some use out of most of the products, but there wasn't anything I was in love with. Of the five samples in the October box, the lip pencil was the best, and the cleansing wipes were the worst.
At only $12 a month, it's still a useful subscription service, and this could be a really good gift--and if you get a subscription, it's the gift that keeps on giving! How fun is that?! While the makeup lover who has everything might not need it, it's a great gift for those who love samples--whether it's because they like trying new things without committing to a full-sized products, or because they travel a lot, or for makeup-lovers on a budget.

DōTERRA essential oils
I've been curious about essential oils for awhile, and have been wanting to try them... But they can be a little expensive, and since I didn't really know much about them I was hesitant to purchase dozens of bottles of the stuff trying to figure out what I neede. Fortunately my friend Phil is very knowledgeable and hooked me up with some DoTERRA essential oils and shared a wealth of knowledge with me!
Essential oils are "non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile organic compounds." They've been used as treatments for various ailments for centuries, and the benefits are being proven today by science. That's really cool! I was lucky enough to test out eight different essential oils and blends. Essential oils are great because they can be absorbed through your skin, you can breathe them, and some of them you can ingest (this is the reason you want theraputic grade essential oils, like the ones from DoTERRA)! And each essential oil has multiple functions.
$13.33 for 15mL
"Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic, topical, and internal cleanser that can be used to complement many other oils. Diffusing lemon in a room can cleanse the air and uplift mood. It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaning booster. For aromatic, topical or dietary use."
I liked mixing a few drops into my water! You can do hot water or cold water, it's good either way. (Note: Phil warned that I should not put citrus essential oils in plastic bottles!)
$27.33 for 15mL
"Peppermint is popular in countless forms, from toothpaste to chewing gum. As an essential oil, it is useful to ease breathing and as a digestive aid*. For aromatic, topical, or dietary use."
A few drops of peppermint essential oil is good in hot or cold water as well, or you can do a mix of lemon and peppermint! It's a tasty way to "enhance" your water without adding tons of fake sugar or chemicals into your body. Seriously, a drop or two would make a pretty minty 16 oz of water, and then the peppermint essential oil residue in my cup would flavor my water for a few fills afterwards as well--a little goes a long way!!! Putting a drop on my palms and breathing it in felt good, and it had a cooling sensation on my skin (apply it to the back of your neck), and it tastes VERY refreshing and minty.
Melaleuca (Tea Tree)
$25.33 for 15mL
"Recognized by its more common name "tea tree", melaleuca has been revered for its cleansing and regenerative properties, especially for the skin. Composed of more than ninety different compounds, melaleuca has limitless therapeutic applications. For aromatic, dietary, or topical use."
I've been having some breakouts lately, but after I applied a bit of this for two nights in a row, my skin was looking much better. I would definitely consider buying more of this.
$93.00 for 15mL
"Perhaps the most precious of the ancient oils, frankincense is highly sought after by modern consumers for its many uses, including relaxation, immune support, and mood enhancement. For aromatic, topical or dietary use."
VERY expensive, but it has a really pleasant scent to it. Phil suggested applying it to the temples, mid forehead, base of the neck and bottoms of the feet.
Breathe (respiratory blend)
$26.67 for 15mL
"Respiratory issues are prevalent in modern society, and dōTERRA® essential oils are a perfect way to ease breathing consistently for a sustained benefit. Breathe is a remarkable blend of CPTG® essential oils which combine to do just that, help you breathe easier. A proprietary blend including laurel leaf, peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon and ravensara cleanses and soothes the airways, and can easily be applied topically to the chest, back, or bottom of feet. Its pleasant aroma is calming to the senses and perfect for night time diffusion allowing for restful sleep. For aromatic or topical use."
I get seasonal allergies and this does help clear up my sinuses!
Balance (grounding blend)
$26.67 for 15mL
"Everyone experiences moments of disconnectedness or anxiety. The warm, woody aroma of Balance, dōTERRA®'s grounding blend, creates a sense of calm and well-being. We perfectly blend spruce, rosewood, frankincense, and blue tansy with fractionated coconut oil to offer an enticing fragrance which promotes tranquility and a sense of balance. For aromatic or topical use."
On-Guard (protective blend)
$42.67 for 15mL
"On Guard is dōTERRA®'s unique, proprietary blend formulated to support healthy immune function. Wild orange essential oil, combined with clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support. On Guard, with its unique aroma, is one of our most versatile blends. It is also safe to use on counter tops, as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or to purify the atmosphere by diffusing. For aromatic, topical, or dietary use."
It's a good product to use to defend against colds (I really did notice a difference in how well my body was fighting off stuff when I was using this, versus when I wasn't!). It's also a great cleaning product.
Elevation (joyful blend)
$49.33 for 15mL
"Elevation is the perfect blend for those moments when you need to be revitalized. This exciting blend provides an invigorating combination of CPTG® essential oils that can elevate your mood and increase your energy. Elevation is a blend of lavandin, tangerine, elemi, lemon myrtle, melissa, ylang ylang, osmanthus and sandalwood blended flawlessly for an immediate and dramatic effect. For aromatic or topical use."
For runners, Phil suggested Breathe, peppermint and lemon as being the top picks. He said he also enjoys Oregano essential oil, which he says is great for cooking, because you only need a drop for lots of flavor, and likes to put some essential oil into his Soda Stream.
I really, really liked using all of these. I learned a ton, and feel like I'll actually get the benefits of using essential oils! Instead of putting all sorts of drugs and man-made chemicals in my body, it was nice to just use natural, high-quality essential oils! A lot of the oils from DoTERRA seem expensive, but the quality is very important, and you use so little at a time that even a small sample bottle seems to last FOREVER because you only need a drop or two at a time. And you can make it go even further by mixing it in with water (shake it) or mixing it with coconut oil! The essential oil packaging is simple and classic, but I do with that droppers were standard with these, because the cap can get a little messy (and I don't like to waste product or get it onto other stuff unintentionally). If you're looking to try essential oils, I definitely recommend DoTERRA.

Live HSN on air event 11/13/2013
The samples included were specially assembled from HSN's fan-favorite brands and were curated by the TotalBeauty.com editorial team as part of a special partnership event.
Perlier Shea Butter Hand Cream
This is a fairly neutral smelling lotion with a nice texture to it. It doesn't seem extraordinary, but I like keeping it in my purse because it's
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara – Black
"Better Than Sex" is a bit overdramatic. But this mascara is pretty fabulous. The hourglass-ish shaped brush seemed odd and a little weird to use at first, but WOW it deposits mascara on your lashes perfectly, getting the inner and outer corners. I didn't have an
Carol's Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strength Hair Serum
I was excited to try this, and I liked using it on the ends of my hair, but even a small amount made my roots look greasy. Also, I wish it were in a re-sealable container! It doesn't seem like much product, but you only need a few drops (and I have TONS of hair).
Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials – Bare
This eye primer worked well and kept my eyeshadow looking great all day long! It had a subtle color-neutralizing effect on my lids, making me look a bit more awake.
Wei East China Herbal Intensive Eye Pads
This is one of those things that I like to try once in awhile, just for kicks! While I'm not sure that one treatment did anything, it felt nice and cool on my skin. It has a faint spa-like scent to it. Unfortunately, it did seem to irritate my eyes just a bit.
I am usually pretty leery of trying new skincare products, because I finally seem to have my acne more or less under control. But I really like this!
I love Benefit, and this stuff is great. It helps even out your skin's texture and works well under foundation. I'm a huge fan. It's just really basic stuff but it does the job!
Elysee YouthSpan Enviro-Shield Tinted Veil
This looked a little dark and shimmery in the pot but it blends well and practically disappears. It didn't seem to do a whole lot for evening out my skin, but it still is a good product--didn't get shiny or oily skin later in the day!
M Asam VinoLift Skin Tightening Cream
I'm only 28, so I don't think this did much for me in terms of skin tightening after only a few uses--maybe preventatively? But it's still a good product--no breakouts or irritation, felt nice on my skin.
I love this collection. It has some GREAT brands, a nice variety of products that I'd actually use, and there was a decent amount of product! I was really pleased that even the products that aren't super-effective for me are still good products that I can use. AND you get a $10 off a full-sized item! (well, a $29 purchase. But still great!).
Seriously, treat yourself to this collection, or buy one as a gift! (Get your Christmas shopping done early for the makeup-lover in your life!)

text: When you have lupus, you might expect to feel tired sometimes. You may know that muscle pain and swollen joints are common symptoms. And you understand that you'll occasionally feel frustrated as you learn to cope with the unpredictability of symptom flares. Still, there's one thing you might not expect to experience when you have lupus: depression. Unexpected and, at times, overwhelming. Depression can impact more than your mood when you have lupus. It can make it hard to just get through the day and follow your treatment plan. Fortunately, a type of counseling called psychotherapy can help you feel more like yourself again. What Causes Depression? Up to 60 percent of patients with a chronic illness, like lupus, develop depression. For people with lupus, there are several reasons why depression may occur: Lupus can directly affect the central nervous system, which may lead to depression. Certain medications that help manage the disease, such as high-dose steroids, can cause depression. The stress, emotional challenges, and psychological strain of living with a chronic disease can lead to depression. Common concerns include strained social relationships, financial burdens, job performance, and overall reduced quality of life. Could I Be Depressed? Signs that you may be depressed include: Overwhelming feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, or hopelessness that don't go away Difficulty with concentration and memory A lack of interest in activities you used to enjoy doing Difficulty getting out of bed Thoughts of suicide Who Can Help Me? If you're feeling depressed, ask your doctor for a referral to a mental health expert who has experience treating patients with chronic illnesses. A psychotherapist may be able to help. Psychotherapy, also known as "talk therapy," helps you gain a deeper understanding of the feelings that you're experiencing. Working with a psychotherapist, you'll learn strategies for dealing with the thoughts, feelings, and stresses in your life, and how to cope in healthier and more productive ways. You may also learn how to identify negative thoughts or behaviors, and how you can change them to make you feel better. This type of psychotherapy, called cognitive behavioral therapy, is often very effective for patients with depression. Based on your individual needs, psychotherapy may be used alone or along with anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication.

THAILAND - Corbion has completed the pre-engineering for a PLA polymerization plant in Thailand and announced that it is entering the basic-engineering phase.
The Dutch company said it commenced with pre-engineering in 2015, following "strong customer interest in PLA".
"We have now obtained the necessary technical and financial validation for such a plant," explained Tjerk de Ruiter, CEO of Corbion.
Located in the Thai province of Rayong at the existing Corbion site, the plant will have an annual capacity of 75 kT producing a complete portfolio of PLA polymers, ranging from standard PLA to innovative high-heat resistant PLA from 2018.
Additionally, Corbion will expand its existing lactide plant in Thailand by 25 kTpa.

It has happened twice recently. Two of my favorite web-designers/information-gurus/entertaining-bloggers have been hired by Apple, and after that… nothing. They announce that they have been hired, and then their blogs go silent. Occasionally they will have a post about their puppies, or a new haircut, but nothing even remotely related to web design, information design, or stuff I used to rely on them for.
Anyone else noticed this? Who will be next? Here are the two who have most recently been ripped from my feed list:

Timeline - Institute for Gerontology
Dr. Anne Prisco, President of Felician University, established an Institute for Gerontology (IFG) and appointed a three-member Steering Committee to craft the mission, vision and business plan.
大家赢娱乐Dr. Prisco appointed a 15-member Advisory Board made up of experts in the field of gerontology.
The IFG received a $25,000 grant from Felician Services Inc. (FSI), sponsored by the Felician Sisters.
A White Paper summarizing the gaps in senior care programs and service was written by the Steering Committee following its individual interviews with members of the IFG Advisory Board.
A second White Paper summarizing the gaps in senior care program and services was written by the Steering Committee, who conducted three Focus Group Meetings with 25 members from Older is Better, a local group of Bergen County older seniors; 15 residents at the Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation & Assisted Living in Jackson, and 17 seniors at the 55 KIP Center in Rutherford.
Both groups identified similar issues related to the difficulties with aging in place, housing, transportation, isolation, finances, health care services, mental health issues including dementia, legal services, and difficulty navigating the multiple sources of available information.
The Steering Committee met with the New Jersey Deputy Director of the Division of Human Services and Senior Services, and the Community Liaison from the New Jersey American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Chapter to learn how the government and the association were addressing the needs of older adults in NJ.
The IFG received a $30,500 grant from FSI to develop a Care Coordination Certification (Patient Navigator) program to address identified patient care needs within the industry.
A research team of faculty from the Schools of Nursing, Business, and Arts and Sciences was established to investigate the lack of aging planning on the part of college age students. A research study on "Aging Expectations, Attitudes and Perceptions of College Students" was designed to identify planning practices for life changes by college age students.

So if we eat the equivalent of about seven slices of bread a day, only about half a slice would be whole grain and the rest would be made with white flour
Whether "healthy" whole grains are truly healthy is a hotly debated issue, but there's new evidence supporting the "pro-grains" camp: Whole grains and cereal fiber help reduce mortality risk, according to recent research published in BMC Medicine.
In a study of more than 367,000 participants, those with the highest intake of whole grains had a 17 percent lower risk of dying over a 14-year follow-up period. When the researchers looked at cereal-specific fiber (meaning fiber coming from both cold cereal and cooked cereal), those who ate foods with the most had a 19 percent lower risk of dying.
Furthermore, when broken down into disease-specific cause of death, the benefit of eating whole grains ranged from 11 percent reduced risk of death (respiratory disease) to 48 percent (diabetes). For cereal fiber, this ranged from 15 percent (cancer) to 34 percent (diabetes).
Given these findings, why are grains—wheat especially—so suspect? Thomas Campbell, MD, author of The Campbell Plan sheds some light on this debate. "I have some very serious concerns about wheat, but I think the blame it's currently taking is excessive," he says. "Too many people are blaming wheat for all their joint aches, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort. It lets them put the blame for how they feel on wheat and continue to feel good about all of their other bad habits."
The truth is, different people likely require different wellness plans to feel better, and healthy whole grains (not refined grains) could play an important role.
Dr. Campbell points out that while we're on average eating about the equivalent of seven slices of bread daily in grains, we Americans are generally failing when it comes to getting our whole grains. "So if we eat the equivalent of about seven slices of bread a day, only about half a slice would be whole grain and the rest would be made with white flour," he explains.
Thus, the issue may be less about the grain and more about the refinement—the addition of oils, processed syrups, and sugar. "When you hear anecdotes about people feeling better after eliminating wheat from their diet, you realize that if they started out like the average American, they are eliminating pizza, bread, cookies, and pasta. When you cut these calorie-dense processed foods out of your diet, do you think you might lose weight and feel better? Of course!" For Dr. Campbell, the jury is still out on whether or not the wheat is the real root issue here.
"I do not mean to make wheat seem totally blameless," he adds. "For some people, the adverse effects of wheat consumption are very real." He points to issues like celiac disease and wheat allergies.
That being said, even non-wheat grains aren't always ideal—even for those without wheat intolerances. William Davis, MD, author of Wheat Belly Total Healthexplains, saying, "Nonwheat grasses have their own unique issues." For instance, Dr. Davis points out that some grains contain lectins—a type of naturally occurring toxin that serves to protect the plant against being eaten by insects—that can lead to inflammation when eaten. And some grains, such as corn, can besurprising blood-sugar spikers.
One reason experts can't agree is that there may not be one right answer. What's healthy for one person might be toxic for another, and the extent to which a food makes people sick isn't always clear-cut. The best solution: Figure out for yourself what foods do or don't make you sick. A safe place to start is with an elimination diet, which can help you take stock of your health symptoms in a controlled way.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Over the years Horn Law has successfully resolved a wide range of motorcycle accident claims resulting in serious injury and wrongful death. Recently, Horn Law produced over 60 short video clips covering frequent questions and answers about motorcycle injury cases. Motorcycle Accident Legal Representation Because of the life-changing trauma caused by motorcycle accidents, Horn Law is usually contacted by a family member or friend of the motorcycle accident victim. Horn Law attorneys, Doug Horn and Laurie DelPercio, are Kansas City accident lawyers who are ready, willing, and able to give immediate legal consultation to help lessen the burden on friends and family, particularly in regards investigations and insurance issues. Kansas City Motorcycle Accident Investigation Most accidents involving a motorcyclist occur because a negligent driver claims he or she never saw the motorcyclist. As such, immediate accident scene investigation is necessary. The investigation must include photos, videos, measurements, and documentation of vegetation and other physical characteristics such as sun position and artificial lighting. Investigation for the purpose of a legal claim should never solely rely upon police reports. An Independent investigation, done by trained investigators, is often necessary in a motorcycle collision case. Preservation of evidence and witness statements are very important, especially to establish the path of travel and possible evasive maneuvers attempted by the motorcyclist. Crash contact points and fluid trails can support accident reconstruction opinions. Motorcycle Insurance Issues Due to the fact that motorcycle accidents caused by negligent drivers often lead to serious injury or wrongful death, insurance companies are very aggressive in finding evidence to minimize the injured motorcyclist's claims. For example, an insurance company may take the position that the motorcyclist was partly responsible for the collision. This is called "comparative fault" and under the laws of both Missouri and Kansas it can significantly limit the motorcyclist's claim if not properly handled. Legal consultation with an accident attorney will cover all the relevant legal claims and avenues of recovery, including the motorcyclist's own policies of insurance. Motorcycle Accident Injury Assessment At the outset, it is important for an attorney to help the injured motorcyclist obtain the best medical care available. Although the attorney should never be involved with medical decisions or recommendations, it is the responsibility of the attorney to sufficiently document and prove up medical causation, medical expense, short-term full and partial disability, long-term full and partial disability, future medical, and other issues that directly or indirectly affect the economic and non-economic damages. It is important that your motorcycle accident attorney have a track record in cases involving head injuries, neck, back, and spinal injuries, bone fractures/joint injuries, catastrophic injuries, disfigurement injuries, including road rash, scars, burns, and other trauma. In many cases, special experts must be retained to prove the degree of disability, life-care needs, and the effect on earning capacity. Contact Our Kansas City Motorcycle Accident Attorneys (816) 795-7500 While in some motorcycle accident cases it is clearly evident that a lawsuit against the negligent parties is required, there are other cases that can be settled. In either case, you must have a thorough case evaluation because your motorcycle accident claim is typically your one and only opportunity to obtain a fair and full recovery. Moreover, the conduct of the negligent driver must be taken into account. For example, the fault of the negligent driver may be aggravated by the fact that he or she was impaired, distracted, or driving in a reckless manner. In addition to liability and fault, the case evaluation takes into account a number of other factors. Other important factors include the medical course, including tests, nature of treatment, rehabilitation. The damages, economic and non-economic, past, present, and future are relevant to determining the case value, especially cases that are litigated. Horn Law offers you a free investigation.

Do I need a Medical Malpractice lawyer for a Maryland medical malpractice case? The short answer to the above question is a resounding, "Yes." Anytime you step in front of a judge or jury, you should be represented by experienced counsel. This also applies when dealing with big insurance companies, whose sole goal is to avoid making a significant payout. In a medical malpractice suit, the most common mistake is the unreasonable breach of the standard of care provided to a patient from a healthcare professional. As a result of that negligence, the patient is either seriously injured or dies as a result of the negligence. If you or a family member were a patient, it is not always cut and dry to recognize what is considered to be an acceptable "standard of care." If the "less-than-standard care" resulted in an injury which you suspect may be the result of medical negligence or malpractice, then it is in your best interest to consult an experienced medical malpractice attorney, who can provide you a proper legal evaluation of what happened in your case. Medical Malpractice Lawyers: Maryland We understand what it means when a loved one places their trust in a medical provider only to have that trust silenced by a serious medical mistake. Robinson & Associates, accepting medical negligence cases in Maryland, Washington DC and nationwide, can help. Our successful medical malpractice team distinguishes itself as we provide injured victims and their family experienced trial attorneys as well as a professional medical staff including a board certified doctor and nurse, all working together on the singular goal of obtaining full and fair compensation for our clients. We are serious about the relentless pursuit of justice for victims of medical malpractice; we invest heavily in our medical resources and have the benefit of a Board Certified surgeon on staff, working directly with our attorneys, to provide expert medical support. This is important because the defense will always have a variety of doctors at their disposal, thus it is crucial to have knowledgeable medical staff on hand to properly advise and advance our client\'s cases. Rest assured our experienced and friendly trial team will immediately meet with you face to face and answer all your questions, at no charge, in a comfortable and confidential environment. We understand medical negligence cases are intensely personal matters with life changing ramifications; that is why we invest heavily in our resources and maintain a high level of experienced professionals.

The twin-dinette five-berth 2010 Elddis Avanté 505 is aimed squarely at the family market – here's what Practical Caravan's expert reviewers thought of it
Here is the Elddis version of the classic twin-dinette layout for small families. The rear dinette gives children a dedicated area for daytime play and peaceful bedtimes, behind the fabric curtain. The fold-out bunk makes a good fifth berth and the fold-out barriers are well designed. Standard kit is impressive and the layout works well overall. There are just a few niggles, but more of that later.
Pitching and setting up
The front locker lifts up high and the clearly laid-out main control switches are just inside the door, along with a doormat, full flyscreen and a couple of coat hooks.
One omission is a TV point in the rear dinette – a van such as this should cater for kids in the back lounge, where they will be busy with game consoles or watching DVDs.
Storage is good in both lounges, with six overhead lockers at the front and another six at the back. There are shelves in between the lockers in the back lounge, providing extra space. However, due to the rake of the van's front panel, the front lockers are shallow.
At dinnertime there are lots of options in the rear dinette – a slightly wobbly clip-on table, solid free-standing table and small pull-out extension.
Standard kit is good, with a music system and plenty of halogen spotlights. Heki rooflights at both ends, and blinds and flyscreens to all windows.
The stainless steel sink has a recessed drainer for easier washing-up and two mains sockets are angled into the space.
The worktop to the right of the sink is large enough for preparing dinner and the strip light surprisingly provides ample light.
However, storage space is a concern. The wire storage trays and cutlery drawer take up most of the big cupboard beside the fridge, leaving no room for bulky items.
The lack of electric ignition for the hob, oven and grill is another disappointment. This has been criticised in other Avantés and it continues to grate, especially for cooks who risk singeing their eyebrows everytime they want to grill bacon. Adding an ignition switch is an easy and inexpensive upgrade – what is a mid-range tourer doing without one anyway?
Running across the top of the space is a handy hanging rail. The main drawback is a lack of storage for toiletries. Considering the space available, the room works well unless you take long trips without staying at full-facility sites.
The rear double works the same way and a bunk folds down from the rear wall above for the fifth berth. Boards to keep kids from falling out of bed hinge up from the bed base so you don't have to slot them in at night or store them during the day.
Two spotlights, a ceiling light and a Heki rooflight keep the kids' end illuminated and a fabric curtain secludes it after 'lights out'.
Front access to the sofa bed boxes is practical and will let you make maximum use of the area. Still, more space is needed in the kitchen and washroom.

|Shipping length
|Awning size
This twin-dinette layout really does tick a lot of boxes for small families. Children will love having the curtained-off rear dinette to themselves and the fifth berth, a fold-out bunk, means a family with three children can sleep here, or one of the kids can invite a friend along!
Standard kit is impressive. The lack of a separate TV point in the rear and of an electric ignition switch for the hob are big letdowns in a mid-market van. Families would benefit from more kitchen and washroom storage space, and the lockers at the front are too shallow to be much use.
Overall, we give it 8/10.

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has overturned a Barbados Court of Appeal decision, in which lawyers for four convicted drug traffickers were told last year that they were "out of time" when they sought to appeal their sentences and convictions.
The CCJ, the island's highest appellate court, handed down the decision this morning at its Port of Spain, Trinidad headquarters. The CCJ again rapped the "inordinate systemic delay" of the Barbados judiciary as it ordered the Barbados Court of Appeal to expedite hearing the cases of the three men and one woman.
In a 2009 trial which lasted 16 weeks and was deemed the longest running in Barbados' history, Guyanese nationals, Rohan Shastri Rambarran, Gavin Wayne Greene, Lemme Michael Campbell and Somwattie Persaud, were four of six foreign nationals convicted for importing over $6 million in drugs into the island four years earlier.
Their combined sentences totalled 428 years in prison for 28 drug offences, involving 91.3 kilogrammes of marijuana and 119.4 kilogrammes of cocaine. The quartet was sentenced to terms ranging from 15 to 30 years, to run concurrently.
Their attorneys sought to appeal both the convictions and sentences on the quartet's behalf, stating that the appeal had been entered within the 21 days after sentencing as required by law. The appeals were never heard.
Director of Public Prosecutions Charles Leacock, QC, argued why he considered the appeal to be "out of time", stating that any appeal should have been made within the stipulated period after the four received their guilty verdicts. Since that was not done, he argued the appellants were now too late to appeal their conviction.
The Barbados Court of Appeal upheld that view and deemed that since the appeals were filed out of time, the Court could not hear them.
Lawyers, including Sir Richard Cheltenham, QC, and Shelley Seecharan who are representing Rambarran; Arthur Holder, Kendrid Sargeant and Shane Thompson, who are acting on behalf of Campbell; and Marlon Gordon and Safiya Moore who are representing Greene and Persaud, took their case to the CCJ last year.
The attorneys sought to have a ruling on the decision by the Court of Appeal, which had determined that the original appeals were "out of time".
One of the grounds which the lawyers took before the CCJ was to have that court define and clarify the term "conviction" in the Barbadian context; specifically whether a "conviction" occurs when the jury returns a verdict or whether it includes the sentencing process.
The CCJ's decision was that a "conviction" includes sentencing and therefore appeals made up to 21 days afterwards were valid. Further, the attorneys were given leave to take their initial appeals back to the Court of Appeal to be heard.
In directing the Court of Appeal to hear the appeals expeditiously, the CCJ pointed out the fact that the appellants who were sentenced to 15 years would complete their terms in March 2016, possibly without their appeals being heard.
The CCJ cited this as an example of the "inordinate systemic delay" of the Barbados judiciary and advocated, once again, that steps be taken to address this situation.

H-50. The American Book in the Industrial Era, 1820–1940
Michael Winship
This course will introduce students to the manufacturing methods, publishing practices, distribution networks, and reception and use of books, periodicals, and other printed materials in the United States during the industrial era, roughly from the 1820s to the 1940s. Particular attention will be paid to exploring the introduction and impact of the new industrial production technologies that defined the period, but other topics to be addressed include: the rise of trade publishing and other publishing systems; methods of book distribution as the book market expanded across the continent, especially the role of bookstores; reading, readership, and the ways in which readers acquired and used books; and the importance of the international trade in American and British books and texts both before and after the 1891 international copyright law.
The Rare Book School teaching collection is especially rich in printed materials from this period, and students will have an opportunity to study multiple examples that illustrate important features of the history of the American industrial book; copies of some manuscript material will be also be available to illustrate the business practices of book manufacturers and publishers. Students will also be introduced to important reference works and other resources for the study of American book history and are encouraged to discuss their own research projects with the instructor and class members.
The course is aimed at scholars, librarians, collectors, and others whose work or research requires particular knowledge of the American industrial book and, thus, it is intended for those who already have some familiarity with book production methods and American book history. It serves as a chronological sequel to James N. Green's History of the Book in America, c.1700–1830 (H-70) and supplements at a more advanced level the broad overview offered in the introductory course The History of the Book in America: A Survey from Colonial to Modern (H-15). In their personal statement, applicants are requested to summarize briefly their background in the field, current research projects, and topics or issues that they would particularly like the course to address.

Among the very natural reactions that your child might have to meeting with the school teacher on that very first day at college is to be frustrated and fearful. The very first day of college is a perplexing and frightening experience occasionally if your child has not been outside in organized public scenarios before. The instructor is going to have a thousand things to consider and the surface of the list is going to be to educate the children to understand the principles and the arrangement of college. And though there'll be a number of days and days ahead for your child to get used to college, its potential that it all could be quite overpowering and your baby may run home in tears which "the teacher hates me".
Of course you are aware that the teacher needs only the best for your little one. With time, the instructor will have enough time to spend with every child and that natural bond will happen. However, if the first impression that your infant boy or girl gets is that the instructor is their enemy and somebody to dread, that bond might be slow in forthcoming. And when the new student receives the impression that college is a scary area where they're in danger, it might be the start of a great deal of trouble with college later on.
So instructing your child that the instructor isn't an enemy is extremely important to her success on the first day of college and your child's achievement in school for a long time to come also. The initial step in helping your child see that the instructor is a buddy is simply to discuss it.

The best instance your child has of the version is, of course, dad and mom. A kid has extreme trust and appreciate for her or his parents. And yet she understands that it's also mother and daddy who set and enforce the principles and even punish if the children are poor. By viewing that the function of principles maker and enforcer could be a part of being a caregiver, the child can move the affection they have for mom and dad to the instructor and comprehend that job in course.
You may even take another step in assisting your child take the use of instructor in her lifetime by searching for a opportunity to visit the college and also sit in on a course merely to see what happens at college. Many schools are delighted to allow kindergartners which are going to be beginning next year sit in for a day, particularly if they're with dad or mom to help them feel protected. You may see some broad eyes as your kid absorbs everything goes on in school. Then you can use that expertise to answer plenty of questions once you get home. All of this is outstanding prep for what your kid will encounter eon their very first day at college.
By fulfilling the instructor, seeing what occurs in college and getting knowledgeable about this "thought" of kindergarten, you're getting out before this issue of fear and intimidation that's frequently major issue for children within their first day in college. The teacher your child will have in the autumn is going to be very excited to meet her and start making friends with your child straight away. And that brief time together could be all it takes to alter that instructor from an enemy into a reliable friend and a confront your kid will search for when she goes to school that first week. And whenever your kid sails during that first week in college, it's as you took the opportunity to receive her prepared to have a wonderful time in her very first experience at college.

I went on a really fun beach vacation with my family in August, and I still haven't blogged about it! One day I will get to that.
Here's the last couple of weeks:
Marcus took Katie to his deer lease. It's a little over an hour away and they spent the night there.
Katie was in heaven the whole time!
She got to eat junk food:
And went fishing for the first time:
And caught one with the help of her daddy! She didn't want to touch it though.
That trait is genetically from me.
Marcus said she kept busy digging holes.
The dogs went too, so I really had the house to myself!
They had a great time and I'm sure this is something they will do again soon.
Katie is blessed to have such a fun dad.
When they got home we went to my parent's house to break in their new fire pit that my dad built.
We will be roasting lots of marshmallows over that fire pit in the future.
This past weekend my friend, Tori, came in town from Arkansas!
We have the best time together and we talked about everything under the sun.
She brought her sweet daughter, Avery, too.
Katie was pretty smitten with both of them!
I wish they lived closer!
And we got a fun surprise from a neighbor.
A new swing!
Katie's pink one broke about a month ago and it's been hanging pathetically in the tree since.
Our neighbor noticed and said they had one that they didn't use anymore.
Sweet, huh?
Do you think this blue swing is a sign that the new baby is a boy?
This week a cold has landed on my face and it won't get off! I can't breathe through my nose. Tonight I was talking to Katie about her new bunny PJ's and she said, "Why are you calling bunnies, buddies?

I have found some very useful plug-ins for WordPress. Both of these plug-ins help you optimize your blog for search engines.
The first is the Technorati tag plug-in. This allows you to tag your blogs with keywords that are linked back to Technorati. The use of this plug-in is invoked by using [tag] and [ /tag] surrounding your keywords separated by a comma. This allows readers to tag your post more easily.
The other plug-in that I use quite frequently is the title tag plug-in. Visit one of our blog posts and click on the title of the blog. You will notice that you are taken to a web page with that post on it. At the top of the blog is the actual title of the blog; however, in the title bar, is another title. This is the title that search engines see in the title tag of the web page. Titling my blogs something different using the title tag plug-in allows me to accomplish two things. One, it gives me the freedom to title the actual blog post anything I would like. Two, by putting keywords in the title tag I am optimizing my blog for those keywords.
I would love to hear of any more helpful plug-ins that you have found for WordPress.
