Do we need a separate entry for Lindos?
Working on it[edit]
Going to be working on this and related articles for a while today.... please butt in with objections when I am done. Thanks. -- Nils 14:45, 30 May 2005 (EDT)
Eat[edit][add listing]
I think the "Eat" section should refer back to the main Greece article. I have made the proper revision. Let's only mention foods that are specific to Rhodes and the Dodecanese Islands, or if there's an issue specific to Rhodes (like where to find a fast food joint after a night out)...stuff like that. skyduster 01:03, 22 August 2006 (EDT)
Stay Safe[edit]
Let's limit this to health and safety. Please don't include things about shopping (about the seashells for sale being imported, and not really local...I've moved this to the Buy section). Such things do not belong in the Stay Safe section, and they make the Stay Safe section look too long. It's a safe island, no reason in giving a false impression. skyduster 01:07, 22 August 2006 (EDT)
Third party links[edit]
I've removed the listing and links to executiveholidays.gr in accordance with the Wikitravel policies as stated on the Edit Page:
Wikitravel has strong guidelines on links to external web sites. Links to booking engines, hotel and restaurant aggregator sites, or other third-party sites will be deleted.
and on the Wikitravel external links policy page, which prohibits links to
Hotel or travel booking services, aggregators, Nightlife guides and reviews in nightlife guides, [and] Restaurant guides and reviews in restaurant guides. Sailsetter 18:14, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
Ambrosia restaurant[edit]
I've removed the listing and link for the Ambrosia Restaurant because 1) it belongs on the Lindos page, 2) it should have at least an address and brief description, and 3) the URL given for it is a third party site of a type which is prohibited by Wikitravel policy. Sailsetter 19:21, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Q: How do I compare "servings per can or pail" to product weight and calories?
A: The truth is you cannot. Serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible. For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1,095 total meals), 1,700 calories per day. Your decision should be based upon average calories per day per person and not the total serving count.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can/pail is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.
Beans, Freeze Dried Fruits and Vegetables: 30 years
Grains: 30 years (Exception – Brown Rice: 7 years)
Bakery Staples: 30 years (Exception – Shortening Powder, Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Dough Enhancer: 10 years)
Dehydrated Fruits & Vegetables: 25 years (Exception – Banana Slices, Potato Gems: 10 years)
Freeze Dried Meats and Entrées: 25 years sealed - 1 month opened
Delight Drinks: 15 years
Vegetarian Meat Substitutes, Cereals, Bakery Mixes, Eggs and Dairy: 10 years (Exception –
Morning Moo's: 25 years, Chocolate Morning Moo's: 15 years)
Soups and Sauces: 10 years (Exception – Vegetable Stew Blend, Hearty Vegetable Chicken or Beef Soup Mix: 25 years)
Q: How will my product be shipped?
A: Most items are shipped by small parcel carriers like FedEx. The larger kits will arrive in multiple boxes from a single carrier.
Q: What do the numbers mean that are marked on my Food Storage Kit Boxes?
A: To facilitate fulfillment of your order, all kit boxes are pre-assembled with specific products, then pulled from inventory to assemble your order. Numbers on the boxes may not be in sequential order. Pail items will be shipped in separate cases.
Q: Why when I open the cans/pails, are some only partially filled?
A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans/pails are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Where should I store my product?
A: Product is best when stored in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 55˚F and 70˚F (ideal humidity 15%). Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life. Once product is open, please ensure the lid is secure when storing and use within the guidelines.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
Dents should not occur from shipping in pails. You may however, see indentations in the pail from air pressure changes in shipping. This will not harm the product inside and should straighten out over a short period of time.
Q: Are the cans/pails marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans/pails are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 16022 means the can was produced in 2016 on the 22nd day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

Monday Morning Standings
Oilers News
– Gagner keeps scoring. And lost among all of the noise is that Eberle is currently 8th in league scoring. Some good players on this team.
– But as Justin Bourne points out here, we have some real special players. And not in a good way.
– Nuge was hit and is out for another 7 to 10 days.
– Like his opinion or not, you have to admit Mc79hockey's new banner is pretty awesome.
– But I do happen to like his opinion (and BlackDogHatesSkunks) on Hemsky. Seems silly to run him out of town like he has been. And why people think that one bad year means his career is done.
League News
– Next year, the outdoor game will be going to Detroit. And will include the Laffs.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Electric trolley service greatly changed people's lives in the early 1900's. A wide network of trolley lines provided inexpensive, dependable transportation on a reliable schedule. This opened the world for many people, allowing them to get around far more conveniently and less expensively than hitching up a horse and buggy. This was especially true for women and people who did not personally own a horse and wagon. Trolleys also made it easier for people to travel in and out of the larger towns that were often hubs for the trolley lines. These larger towns offered access to a wider selection of goods and services as well as greater work, social and entertainment opportunities. The Connecticut Valley Street Railway Company trolley line pictured here terminated at the base of Mount Sugarloaf in Deerfield, Massachusetts, (in the far right of the photograph) where the company maintained a pavilion for public outings until the mid 1920's.

Nothin' but Net: To Hibbert, or not to Hibbert
Philadelphia, PA – On Thursday morning, everyone with a basketball opinion stated it about Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel's decision to keep center Roy Hibbert on the bench during the closing sequence of the Miami Heat's Game 1 victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
LeBron James cruised to the hoop for an uncontested layup to win the game as time expired. Hibbert was in a chair watching, despite being third in the postseason in blocked shots and finishing fourth during the regular season.
Let's examine every possible scenario, or explanation about whether Hibbert should or should not have been in the game.
First, we know the result with Hibbert not on the floor and it wasn't good for Indiana.
Let's be clear about one thing - the fault lies on Paul George's shoulders. He overplayed James, let him get the ball in a position to sky in for a layup. That's not on Vogel. George was on the All-Defensive second team and should know better that he had to put James in a position to shoot a jump shot.
"I was up too close on him. You have to make him shoot a jumper," George said. "That's what we wanted. We wanted LeBron to shoot a jumper right there."
But why Hibbert wasn't on the floor to protect the rim?
"That's the dilemma they present when they have Chris Bosh at the five spot and his ability to space the floor," Vogel said. "We put a switching lineup in with the intent to switch, keep everything in front of us and try to go into or force a challenged jump shot."
That didn't happen.
Nor did it happen on Miami's possession prior. James went by for an uncontested layup with 10 seconds on the clock. Where was Hibbert in that scenario? And please, no mention of the fact Hibbert had five fouls. Defending his absence based on the potential to foul out with 10 seconds left in overtime of the Eastern Conference Finals is Courtney Love levels of crazy.
But, back to the final play and how it broke down.
After all of the cuts, Bosh was stationed in the corner down the line from in- bounder Shane Battier. Bosh was deep in the corner and if Hibbert was covering him, Hibbert would've been far away from the basket, thus negating any chance of impeding James' progress.
But what if Hibbert wasn't covering Bosh that deep. What if Vogel decided to just keep Hibbert underneath the basket. He couldn't have gotten a defensive three-second call since there was only 2.2 seconds on the clock.
That would've required no one bothering Battier, the in-bounder. David West presumably could've manned up Bosh with Battier getting an open look at the play unfolding. That's not a great situation, either, but again, better than what actually transpired.
Remember this too, the Heat were out of timeouts. Indiana took one just before James won it. If Hibbert was inserted, he could've camped in the lane to protect the rim.
The adage is that the most dangerous man in these scenarios is the inbounds- passer. Battier can knock down a 3-pointer, yes, but would Erik Spoelstra draw up a play for a Battier 3, even if he was left alone? The Heat are probably smart enough to see Hibbert in the lane and take a jump shot, maybe even a throw-back to Battier, but isn't a Battier 3 much better than what happened for the Pacers?
Again, with no Miami timeouts, there wouldn't be a lot of time to shuffle the play. Maybe, Ray Allen comes over to inbound and now you have the greatest shooter in the history of the game as a serious weapon re-entering the floor of play. You wouldn't be able to leave him alone at any costs.
It comes down to a philosophical debate. Would you rather have James at the rim with a chance to win, or something, anything else? Let's say Hibbert covers Bosh, and plays him half-way. Can he get out to Bosh in time if the ball goes to him? Maybe not. Can he get to the lane to bother James in time? Maybe not.
Or, maybe he could on both accounts. If Hibbert plays it half-way, wouldn't the Pacers rather have Bosh taking a 20-foot jumper, which he is very capable of making, than James shooting from inside a Tic-Tac? Seems pretty obvious to me.
Or, what if Hibbert is in the game challenging Battier's entry pass. Hibbert has the wing-span of a normal human with a broom sewn to his arm. Forcing Battier to have to make a pass with Hibbert jumping and extended would be difficult.
I've seen the play at least 50 times by now. Again, if blame gets assessed, it's on George. He took it like a man, but why didn't George grab James when he got by? James is not the greatest free-throw shooter in history and one man who could make that claim -- Allen -- missed one of two foul shots moments earlier. Foul James and make him earn the win on the free-throw line. Sam Young, who took Hibbert's place in the game, rotated over and didn't foul James, either.
So what occurred was the only thing you couldn't let occur -- a James layup.
It was a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario for Vogel. His philosophy was not bad, it just didn't work.
Charles Barkley indicated on TNT's post-game coverage that sometimes good offense wins out. James is a historically great player already who made a great read of the situation and a great play. That happens.
But what it came down to for me was, wouldn't you want to go out there with your best group, and isn't Hibbert part of that?
"We'll have to evaluate and see what we'll do the next time. I would say we'll probably have him in next time," Vogel said.
Next time.
- The Memphis Grizzlies are certainly still alive in the Western Conference Finals, but if Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol aren't spectacular, like they've been through most of the postseason, the San Antonio Spurs will win the series. Memphis isn't good enough to overcome a subpar series from its two best players.
- Anyone want to criticize Carmelo Anthony's performance in Round 2 knowing he has a partially torn labrum and might need surgery? Didn't think so. No one should criticize Anthony anyway considering how bad Raymond Felton, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith and Jason Kidd were against the Pacers.
- With Vinny Del Negro out as Los Angeles Clippers coach, that vacancy and the Brooklyn Nets one are the most appealing.
- Any coaching search will begin with Memphis' Lionel Hollins. Inexplicably, he is not under contract for next season and Brooklyn and the Clips will be interested.
- Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant indicated the Cavs will listen to offers for the No. 1 pick in the draft. Good luck with that.
- Coach K is back as the U.S. men's Olympic coach, which is fine. He and Jerry Colangelo have built an awesome organization after the 2004 Olympic debacle. They force the players to make a serious commitment to the team. But, I can't help but think, after two gold medals, he could've stepped aside. Gregg Popovich probably won't get a chance now, which is a shame.
- Movie moment - In the last week, I've only caught glances of two movies - "Mississippi Burning" and "The Royal Tenenbaums." I'd like to remind everyone, once again, that Gene Hackman's last movie was "Welcome to Mooseport."
- TV moment - Fox will unveil "Does Someone Have to Go?" a reality show in which companies' employees decide whether employees should be fired, demoted or have their salaries slashed. People of the United States, I implore you not to watch this. For the good of our land, don't watch.

We're back in Portland. Made an unplanned trip after Chloe developed a little infection, so she's been admitted for iv antibiotics. The plan is for her to go back home in a day or 2, then come back Wednesday to be admitted for her next surgery. I had this grand plan of stamping yesterday afternoon, had several images all stamped & ready to color and put on cards, but when we woke up and discovered the infection, those stamping plans got put on hold. One look at that sweet little face, and as much as I was looking forward to stamping, she was instantly forgiven. Here's a picutre of her just after the iv was started...she was not a real happy camper, but in true Chloe style, she perked up really fast and was her cheerful self in a matter of minutes. She is such a trooper!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your sweet comments and the prayers. Chloe is 4 weeks old and a whopping 6 pounds 10 ounces. She's made amazing progress and I truly believe that is an answer to all our prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Okay... I'm off to search for a strong cup of coffee :) to make up for sleeping in a hospital chair/bed! Nothing a little caffeine won't fix, lol! Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend!!!

Best Buy Has Customer Arrested For Using $2 Bills
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News
Just when we think they are doing some good in the tech world, they go and mess it up, as always. Best Buy customer Mike Bolesta simply wanted to purchase a car stereo. After being assured that a particular model would fit, he realized the Best Buy sales rep was incorrect (this sounds familiar). After being told the installation fee would be waived due to the error, he was able to get the correct stereo. When he got home, he received a call from Best Buy saying he needed to pay the fee. Upset about the horrible service he received, Mike decided to pay the $144 charge using only $2 bills. Now, there is no law against this. $2 bills are still legal tender here in the United States. He handed over 57 bills, and should have been able to be on his way. Instead, he was asked accusingly if they were real. Then they called the cops. I feel for ya Mike, it's just unfortunate that I have heard stories like this in the past - and yours probably won't be the last. Anyone else have a story of horrible customer service at an electronics retailer?
(Thanks antman!)

Jawn needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Billiga Flygbiljetter .nu
We are a Swedish company mostly developing websites within the travel market in sweden. We just launched a website where visitors can search and compare airline tickets, everything looks good so far except our logo.
People looking for cheap airline tickets
- We would prefer having the logo in horizontal format so if you decide to have some kind of airplane it would have to be either left or right to the text.
- I would prefer having a logo i can resize for larger fits to atleast 1024 px. Vector is nice though.
- Please have a look at billiga-flygbiljetter.nu (remove "-") to get a feel what colors we are using. Orange is a good color but feel free to experiment with colors.
- I would prefer if you submit the logo on the background color we are using to its easier for us to decide if it fits in or not. Actually submit the logo on both a white background and on the color we are using.
- Logo should read "BilligaFlygbiljetter.nu" which means "Cheap airline tickets".

Life's good for Diamond Dallas Page these days. He's got a championship match against Jeff Jarrett on tonight's TNA Destination X TNA pay-per-view (8 p.m.). He's doing movies.
He's written a book.
He's an inspirational speaker.
He's still got the catchy hand sign and diamond cutter.
And he's living life to its fullest, or at least as close as you can come. His concept is Living Life at 90%. Don't talk about it, live it, he insists.
Sure beats the hell out of the way he felt a few years ago.
"Right after the match with Christian in Toronto, I was fighting Bob Holly. He'd knocked me out with a kick to the face and clothesline. (Later in the match) I was trying to suplex him off the top rope. I was so worried about keeping him straight, I jackknifed myself.
"It scared me and (WWE) didn't want to take a chance on me anymore. They wanted me to become a colour commentator. I was so beat up, I guess I just needed a break."
So DDP took a step back. And discovered yoga. Yep, yoga. and he wrote a book. He'll be 49 next month and he's still going strong.
"I wouldn't get caught dead doing any of that shit before," said Page. "It's YRG. Yoga for Regular Guys ... it's yoga meets old-school exercise ... yoga meets tits and ass.
"Three things you regenerate. With your liver, you stop drinking. Lungs ... stop smoking. And flexibility ... stop being so lazy.
"I'm going to reinvent how the world looks at yoga. My book is not about chanting or finding inner peace, it's about focus, drive and passion ... finding your inner strength, the warrior within. The workout is really low impact on your joints."
He's happy with his role in TNA.
"That high impact stuff, drop me on my head ... that stuff ain't happenin' anymore," said Page. "I'd get to the arena and see guys like Cactus Jack and Terry Funk, and they could barely walk.
"I'm having so much fun working with these guys. I probably have three or four more pay-per-views in me. I want to see how long I can do it, but I probably don't have too many more big singles matches in me."
He's been to acting school, along with his wife Kim.
"A lot of things that I did that got me over in WCW were things they teach in acting school," said Page. "Things like listen, feel and react."
Still a great life for a guy who always feels great.
"They said I'd never be in a main event ... they were wrong," said Page. "If I get killed in the next 30 seconds, I'd be happy as hell with the live I've lived."
- Here's the rest of the card for Destination X: AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Ron Killings for Elix Skipper (Ultimate X Challenge); Kevin Nash vs. The Outlaw (first blood match); Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss (falls count anywhere match); Raven vs. Dustin Rhodes (bullrope match); Alpha Male Monty Brown vs. Tryton; America's Most Wanted, BG James and Konna vs. Team Canada; and Team Traci vs. Team Trinity.
- Kurt Angle says he'll face Shawn Michaels' former partner (in The Midnight Rockers) Marty Jannetty on the next Smackdown!
- Christy Hemme challenged Trish Stratus to a Wrestlemania match on RAW, with a surprise appearance from Lita.
- Speaking of Lita, there are all kinds of rumours going around about her and Matt Hardy. Edge's name is mentioned in the rumours, but I will say no further on the matter until I know the facts.
- WWE's ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view will be held on June 12.
- I travelled to Raleigh, N.C., for last Monday's RAW. Besides doing a feature on diva and Playmate Hemme, I sat in the middle of the RBC Center and spent more than an hour with my favourite wrestler of all-time, Ric Flair. Watch for a story in the near future.

The Congo, in west-central Africa, is bordered by the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, the Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is one-quarter the size of the U.S. The principal rivers are the Ubangi and Bomu in the north and the Congo in the west, which flows into the Atlantic. The entire length of Lake Tanganyika lies along the eastern border with Tanzania and Burundi.
Formerly the Belgian Congo, this territory was inhabited by ancient Negrito peoples (Pygmies), who were pushed into the mountains by Bantu and Nilotic invaders. The American correspondent Henry M. Stanley navigated the Congo River in 1877 and opened the interior to exploration. Commissioned by King Leopold II of the Belgians, Stanley made treaties with native chiefs that enabled the king to obtain personal title to the territory at the Berlin Conference of 1885.
Leopold accumulated a vast personal fortune from ivory and rubber through Congolese slave labor; 10 million people are estimated to have died from forced labor, starvation, and outright extermination during Leopold's colonial rule. His brutal exploitation of the Congo eventually became an international cause célèbre, prompting Belgium to take over administration of the Congo, which remained a colony until agitation for independence forced Brussels to grant freedom on June 30, 1960. In elections that month, two prominent nationalists won: Patrice Lumumba of the leftist Mouvement National Congolais became prime minister and Joseph Kasavubu of the ABAKO Party became head of state.
But within weeks of independence, the Katanga Province, led by Moise Tshombe, seceded from the new republic, and another mining province, South Kasai, followed. Belgium sent paratroopers to quell the civil war, and the United Nations flew in a peacekeeping force.

There are cheap and inexpensive salon equipment, professional salon equipment and used salon equipment easily available in local stores. It is not always possible to keep buying new equipment.

Day spa services include manicures, pedicures, tanning, facials, waxing and massages. When different new services are offered, additional equipment needs to a part of the salon's equipment inventory.

Beauty Salon
When salons are first started and dealing with all the initial costs, sometimes you can clearly see the effect limited budget is playing on the design. Corners cut, and a few pennies saved here or there will help if you have a limited budget, but too tight a budget and you risk running off customers who would otherwise be your clients.
When you create your salon, a clean design will give you a professional look that will give confidence to your clients. Hair salon design is not helped by all the equipment usually required nearby. Clutter can be kept to a minimum by purchasing plastic bins from dollar stores and using them as cheap storage. If you have a little extra spare you could invest in some caddies instead.
Remember when decorating that white has a very clean look but can appear very institutional. On the opposite end of the spectrum black will go with anything, but is subject to picking up more smudges, smears, and dust.
For decorative touches there are numerous little tricks you can use to tweak the look of your space, from painted lattice works between work stations to clever use of mirrors to make your salon appear much larger than it really is.
Investing in some art will also help your image, since art is something that conveys sophisticated tastes and will boost the look of your salon.
You can purchase interior design books and leaf through them for ideas. Though hiring an interior designer can get expensive, the results can be emulated just as easily by someone with an eye for detail and a few examples to work from.
The most important point to remember is be creative.

WASHINGTON – Think gasoline prices are too high? Well, they could be about 30 cents per gallon higher if it wasn't for the availability of ethanol in blended gasoline, a new study says.
As motorists took to the highways over the Memorial Day weekend, many could have been paying $2.30 to $2.40 per gallon rather than the $2-per-gallon national average if not for ethanol, according to a study released by the National Corn Growers Association
The study entitled "Ethanol and Gasoline Prices" concluded that motorists would be facing much higher gas prices if not for the contribution of ethanol to the U.S. fuel supply. Without ethanol, consumers would likely pay an additional 30 cents per gallon for gas, according to the analysis.
"We're experiencing historically low gasoline inventories, and at the same time gasoline consumption is increasing," said NCGA CEO Rick Tolman. "On top of that, OPEC-determined crude oil prices continue to trend upward. It all adds up to sky-high prices at the pump and consumers are beginning to wonder just how high prices will go.
"Fortunately, ethanol is helping to conserve the U.S. gasoline supply by adding more than 3 billion gallons annually to the fuels market."
Some of the highlights of the study by economist John Urbanchuk: (Urbanchuk is with LECG LLC, a private consulting firm.)
- Without ethanol, gas prices would increase 14.6 percent, or 30.2 cents per gallon in the short term (including the entire summer driving season).
- Without ethanol, gas prices would increase 3.7 percent, or 7.6 cents per gallon, in the long term once refiners build new capacity or secure alternative sources of supply.
- More than 30 percent of all U.S. gasoline is blended with ethanol.
- Without ethanol, refiners would be forced to import about 217,000 barrels per day of high-octane, gasoline blending components.
"Ethanol is becoming an integral part of the energy marketplace," he noted. "And as the industry continues to move forward, ethanol will help reduce U.S. dependency on foreign petroleum by adding significant amounts of fuel to our domestic energy supply."
The Renewable Fuels Association projects the industry will produce more than 3.3 billion gallons of ethanol in 2004, up from 2.81 billion gallons in 2003. Currently, 78 ethanol plants have the capacity to produce more than 3.2 billion gallons annually. Ten additional plants under construction will add more than 400 million gallons of annual production capacity.
While most consumers would appreciate any reduction in gasoline prices, the recently completed study may have already been supplanted by events.
The benchmark price of crude oil delivered to the United States hit a record high of $42.22 a barrel yesterday following a terrorist attack on an oil industry compound in Saudi Arabia and concerns that increased oil production may not reduce prices.
The worsening outlook for oil prices led Canadian politicians to promise to provide more investment in alternative fuel production in campaign stops for the June 28 parliamentary elections.
Canadian Finance Minister Ralph Goodale said the ruling Liberal Party plans to quadruple both the production and consumption of ethanol in Canada over the next decade.
The "Ethanol and Gasoline Prices" analysis is available at www.ncga.com/ethanol/pdfs/GasPriceReport.pdf.

Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac 43-400
by Evan Schneider
Modeled loosely after the War Department's 1941 Soldier's Basic Field Manual, Boneshaker fashions itself the practical bicyclist's literary periodical-style handbook. The editors believe that the bicycle, when conceived of and used appropriately, can become a tool for social change and community building. And though bicycling has become, for better or worse, an activity tied to radical undertones and bohemian implications, they are more interested taking about riding bicycles to get where they are going. This almanac is, therefore, a collective ode to the ride itself, that fundamentally lonesome experience one has in the saddle, and the results of repeating that ride in different directions on different days with different destinations in each instance.

Our team is highly diversified and we have a car accident attorney or a personal injury lawyer ready to speak with you at all times.
Our Northglenn injury lawyers will go to you and speak with you in person if necessary, no matter what city you are in or if you are still in the hospital. We have decades of experience fighting insurance companies and know exactly how to get you the highest settlement possible. Even if you have already spoken with the insurance company and they either offered you too little or rejected your claim, it is not too late to contact us. Standing up for the "little guy" is why we love our jobs and that is exactly why we are so good at what we do.
A personal injury is the legal term for any injury to the body, mind, or emotions which resulted from the negligence of another. These types of accidents are impossible to anticipate and along with the difficulty of recovering from the damage done to you these injuries very often are accompanied by massive medical expenses. Some of the factors which influence what you will be awarded for your case are severity of the injuries, speed with which you sought assistance (both medical and legal), the likelihood of need for future care, and any changes which must be made to lifestyle or employment. Our Northglenn accident attorneys know exactly how to negotiate and argue so that every possible avenue which could result in a higher settlement is pursued.
After an accident occurs you should attempt to collect every form of evidence that you can. This includes written statements from witnesses and involved parties, police reports, photographs of the accident, and copies of any bills or expenses that relate to your injury. Do not trust the police, insurance company, or the opposing party to do any of this for you or to be on your side. Mistakes can happen and documents can be lost, either of which could potentially destroy your case.

The basketball team will not be the only nationally-ranked Wabash program traveling to Pennsylvania for competition this week. The Little Giant wrestling team entered the DIII national rankings this week just prior to their trip to the Budd Whitehill National Duals at Lycoming College in Williamsport. The seventh-ranked Wabash basketball team heads to Allegheny College at Meadville, PA.
The Little Giant wrestlers moved into the Brute/adidas National Wrestling Coaches Association poll for the first time this season at number 28 thanks to a 4-0 finish last weekend at the Chuck Porter Duals at Knox College. Jake Strausbaugh, Jake Moore, and Greg Rhoads each finished with 4-0 individual marks to help Wabash remain perfect for the day.
Wabash is 4-1 on the season, with the team's only dual loss coming against nationally-ranked Division I opponent Indiana University. Strausbaugh and Rhoads (left) are both listed on the D3wrestle.com watch list at their respective weight classes. Strausbaugh enters the weekend with a 25-5 record at 149 pounds. Rhoads is 20-9 at 184 pounds.
The Little Giants are seeded seventh in the 16-team event at Lycoming, which begins Friday morning at 9 a.m. Wabash will compete at 10:30 a.m. against RIT in the opening round of the duals tournament.
The Wabash basketball team will try to rebound from a loss for the first time this season when the Little Giants continue North Coast Athletic Conference action Saturday afternoon at Allegheny. Wabash remained at number seven in the weekly D3hoops.com poll despite a 67-65 home loss to number-one ranked Wooster last Saturday.
The battle between the two unbeaten teams was a classic that was decided in the final seconds on a buzzer-beating three-point shot by Wabash that just missed going in the basket. Wabash overcame a 14-point deficit in the second half before closing the gap to one point with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game.
Wes Smith (right) will lead his Wabash team to Meadville as the leading scorer in the conference, averaging 22.9 points a contest. He scored 20 points in the Little Giants' 89-56 home win over Allegheny earlier in the season. Freshman Pete Nicksic equalled his career-best effort with 13 points in that contest, and recorded his first career double-double by adding 11 rebounds with seven coming on the offensive end of the floor. Wabash dished out a season-high 17 assists, led by seven from junior guard Brian Shelbourne.
Tipoff between Wabash and Allegheny is at 1 p.m. at the Wise Center.
The Wabash swimming and diving team just missed a place in the national polls this week, receiving 12 points in this week's TYR/College Swimming Coaches Association of America Division III Swimming Top-25 poll. The Little Giants traveled to St. Louis on Wednesday, falling 124-75 to Washington-St. Louis in dual meet action. David Birrer, David Phillips, and Evan Rhinesmith (left) each posted individual victories in that meet. The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Charles Williams, Alex Beck, Birrer, and Phillips also took home first place.
The Little Giants are back in the water Saturday afternoon with a 1 p.m. dual meet at the University of Indianapolis.

Find child abuse prevention centers. Child abuse prevention centers are social service offices which provide child protective services to families.
Child Abuse Prevention is a service or agency that protects children from abuse or neglect and promotes the welfare of children that are vulnerable to, or victims of, abuse. Child Abuse Prevention may be one component of a Child, Youth, and Family Services or similar agency, or it may be established as a stand-alone agency. In addition to government agencies responsible for Child Abuse Prevention, numerous non-profit organizations exist with complementary missions to protect children from abuse and neglect.
The Child Bureau within the U.S. Health and Human Services Administration provides funding to states and tribal organizations for programming that promotes stable families and a variety of prevention and treatment services. It provides technical assistance and training to states and tribes in child protection, the prevention of maltreatment, in-home services for families, and assistance for infants at risk of abandonment. The Child Bureau also manages a reporting system that collects data on reports of child abuse, analyzes the data, and makes the information available to the public.
State agencies responsible for Child Abuse Prevention investigate cases of suspected abuse, neglect, or abandonment, and evaluate and intervene on behalf of victims. Many agencies employ caseworkers to monitor children and to arrange for necessary rehabilitative services for families in need. The work of Child Abuse Prevention agencies often involves close collaboration with law enforcement agencies and the legal system. Prevention services, such as home visits to new and expectant parents and public information and educational initiatives, are common activities in Child Abuse Prevention agencies. Most also offer hotline telephone services for reporting suspected child abuse. Child Abuse Prevention agencies are often responsible for regulating and coordinating processes related to adoptions, foster care, and transitional placements.
Numerous nonprofit agencies have been established around all aspects of Child Abuse Prevention, including legal services, advocacy, public education, victim support and recovery, family rehabilitation, and training for service providers. Child Abuse Prevention programming has been incorporated into various settings and institutions, including schools, prisons, hospitals, and places of worship. These activities may be operated and funded by state or federal government resources or by nonprofit agencies, and they may be tailored to general or targeted populations.

You found out in a previous article that Midnight Commander allows you to do almost everything under Debian, but it is very important for you to become familiar with the work environment and to learn how to use the command line tools from the shell prompt. You are able to select your login shell using chsh. The list of shell programs may include: bash, tcsh, dash, zsh, pdksh, csh, sash, ksh, rc or posh. In this article we will use bash as the interactive shell. The bash behaviour can be customized from "~/.bashrc". Under Debian work environment there are some key strokes, special ones, which have a special meaning, as you can see in the below list:
- Ctrl-U will erase the line before cursor
- Ctrl-H is used to erase one character before cursor
- Ctrl-D will terminate exit shell
- Ctrl-C used to terminate a running program
- Ctrl-Z stops the program temporarily
- Ctrl-S used for halt output to screen
- Ctrl-Q will reactivate the output to screen
Mouse can be also used, and these operations are made using a 3 button mouse. Button functions are not different that a standard one. Please note that in order to use a mouse on a Linux console you must have gpm(8) as a daemon running. An enhanced pager, less(1), exists on this work environment. If you have not defined yet a default text editor under your Debian operating system, you will have to install one. VIM is recommended by most users. The default editor is located at '/usr/bin/editor' and can be properly invoked by other applications. Before installing one editor, please check what values you have for environment variables "$VISUAL" or "$EDITOR" and see what editor are you currently using.
If you need a mode to record the activities you make while using the shell prompt, in order not to lose forever what you wrote there or if you need to do a review of them sometime in the future (especially for those of you who are doing administrative tasks), this is the way to do it: type 'script' in command line, make your commands, press 'Ctrl + D' to exit the script and then write 'vim typescript' which will show you the entire script history.
Now you are at that moment when you will have to learn some basic Debian commands in the editor. Execute the below command while logged in with a non privileged user:
- pwd is used to display the name of the working directory
- whoami will display the current username
- id displays the current user identity
- file <x> will display a type of file for the file "<x >"
- ls lists the content of a directory
- ls -a lists the contents of a directory but including all files and directories
- mkdir x – make a new directory x
- rmdir x – removes a directory x
- top will display the current process information using full screen mode Continue Reading…

Diego Costa unfairly painted as villain
Football in general, and English football in particular, loves a pantomime villain. In recent years that position has been occupied by the likes of Joey Barton and Luis Suarez, characters who unite people in their condemnation as if they were the archetypes of what people despise about the modern game, juxtaposed against those who make it beautiful.
The saturation of the sport provided by social media and tabloid newspapers demands that these personalities exist, and if they do not then they must be created in order to provide a story arc that will supply copy to the endless written columns, online and in print. The problem with this is that sometimes the person in question is unfairly branded, and there already seems to be the feeling that this is happening to Diego Costa.
- Transfers: How did Chelsea do in the window?
- Report: Azpilicueta signs new Chelsea contract
- Report: Costa pleased with Chelsea start
The Spain international has played just three competitive games since joining Chelsea yet has already received some criticism for his actions as well as a disproportionate amount of attention from the officials. He has been the recipient of two yellow cards, but neither was warranted, and thus he is two steps closer to an automatic one-match suspension despite having done little to earn it.
Against Burnley, referee Michael Oliver saw fit to book Costa for simulation even though he was clearly tripped by goalkeeper Tom Heaton in the penalty area, a decision seemingly founded upon reputation rather than fact. Costa kept his nose clean in the eyes of the referee in the win over Leicester City but was back in the bad books at Everton when he was cautioned for a supposed fracas with Seamus Coleman. Having been buffeted, bumped and provoked, Costa turned to face his tormentor and was cautioned for it. Coleman, who continued to jibe at Costa, escaped censure despite being the instigator.
Had referee Jonathan Moss put both of their names in the book, it might have been accepted as an attempt to put an end to the simmering feud. Booking one and not the other, though, just played to the crowd. The situation was even more galling because Tim Howard received the same punishment as Costa for grabbing the striker by the scruff of the neck before leaning his head into Cesar Azpilicueta right in front of the hapless Moss. Two separate acts of aggression were treated in the same manner as a single act of frustration under duress.
But even that quite remarkable display of double standards is not the most galling part of Costa's treatment. That arrived with the condemnation that came his way from many, though not all, areas of the football media for the schadenfreude he rubbed in Coleman's face after the Irishman put through his own net. Now, nobody would advocate that laughing at another's misfortune on the football pitch is a particularly honourable thing to do, but it was not as if it was an isolated incident enacted purely out of malice.
In this case, context is everything. Coleman had decided to make it his mission to wind up Costa and induce him into doing something reckless that might result in a red card, and in the world of professional sport that is a perfectly understandable approach. It does, however, mean that it is impossible to occupy the moral high ground when karma deals its revenge in the form of an own goal. Costa's reaction might not have been especially edifying, but in the physically demanding world of English football, it hardly represents a reprehensible act. To paraphrase an old nursery rhyme: Sticks and stones might break your bones, but a laugh in the face will never hurt you.
The criticism Costa has received from some quarters has been tiresome, especially when you take into account some of those who are expounding it. Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, for instance, was happy to put the boot in while seemingly oblivious of his role in confronting Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy after the Dutchman missed a penalty in a fractious encounter between the two sides in 2003. Given that Keown received a three-match ban and a hefty fine for his actions, you would have thought he might have remembered it.
The issue surrounding the Chelsea striker's sportsmanship is even more frustrating when you consider that a worse act was perpetrated during the match and has barely been picked up by any media outlet, namely when Everton's Kevin Mirallas deliberately stood on Cesc Fabregas' arm as the Spaniard lay prone on the ground. Costa's berating of Coleman might have been ill-advised, but Mirallas should have seen red or been dealt with retrospectively.
It is a credit to Costa that he managed to keep his cool for the rest of the game and net a second goal himself, though this is just the tip of the iceberg. He seems to have already forged an unfair image for himself that is likely to dog him for the rest of the season, if not his entire career in England. Whether he likes it or not, the 25-year-old is now going to be a target for the opposition in every game he plays. He will need to be big enough to shrug off the provocateurs and ignore those begging the referee to book him, and he should rest assured that hitting the back of the net with regularity and leading Chelsea to glory would be the best response possible.

As 2013 draws to a close, it becomes easier to see the trends in art, design and visual storytelling that attracted especially popular interest over the year. Among them were the use of superheroes, which only decades ago were confined to a mythology only 'nerds' spoke of. But with superheroes becoming ever-more popular and Geek culture no longer a source of shame, comic book and science fiction heroes have become instantly recognizable forms of pop symbolism for many. Beautiful/Decay featured the work of Andreas Englund's aging superhero paintings, Alex Lukas' referential superhero screenprints and Antonio Strafella's comic heroes as saints, all who took these mythologies and blended them with updated styles, forms, perspectives and techniques.
Josh Lane (Ln) took the same cues with his perfectly titled Hero-Glyphics series, combining a variety of classic comic book (the X-men, Spiderman, the Avengers) and sci-fi (Star Trek) heroes, and re-imagining them in the style of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Ln expands on the classic heroes as well, also casting 90's nostalgia (in the form of the Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as well as newer comic and movie characters (Kick-Ass).

Mets manager Jerry Manuel said Oliver Perez has pitched so well lately that he'll let this one slide. He can afford to because Carlos Delgado is playing up to the MVP chants.
It wasn't a good night for Perez, but Delgado hit two more homers and has 24 in his last 66 games to lead the majors.
For awhile tonight it appeared as if Perez would kick this one away, but Delgado's two homers and one by Carlos Beltran carried the Mets to a 10-8 victory over the Nationals to increase their lead over Philly to 2 1/2 games.
Kudos also to the bullpen. It has been hot in September, but tell the truth, aren't you holding your breath?
For those who were with me tonight, many thanks. The Room is open all night.-JD

Is It Time to Celebrate the "Cure"?
By Ibrahim
December 29, 2010
If we analyze the Google usage of any newly diagnosed HIV-positive person, chances are 90 percent of his search history will reflect the phrase "HIV cure." The idea of waking up one day and finding out that there is a cure to your HIV that could replace your daily pills with a once-and-forever treatment is a dream to every Poz person in the world.
When we discuss the issue of HIV cure, we must keep in mind that it is not only a discussion of seeking better options to replace the current effective treatment system. A cure is not related only to people living in the northern industrial sphere who enjoy the privilege of accessing effective treatment and merely suffer from the side effects of the long-term dependency on them. A cure is in fact the ultimate solution to the problem of AIDS, which is crippling many developing countries in Africa, Asia and even in South America and Eastern Europe -- a situation that is still devastating their growth and human development plans; a cure must be conceptualized within this important frame.
However, the fact remains that until recently, most of those who work in the medical field were heavily influenced by the weight of what seemed to be a legendary ability of this virus to overcome a "cure." Years of disappointment diverted the international community and the donors' attention to focus more on providing and improving current treatment than on wasting energy and resources on what many saw at that time a Sci-Fi goal of HIV cure.
Recently, in Berlin, German hematologist Dr. Gero Hutter broke into pieces this legendary reputation of HIV as the undefeatable virus.
As some of you know, HIV entry into CD4 cells requires interaction with a receptor in the cell. This receptor functions as the arm that is ready to shake hands with the invader; this arm is generally either CCR5 or CXCR4. If these arms are missing, no one will be welcoming HIV to his new home. In the past attempts to find a cure, the focus was on the virus itself, and scientists overlooked the fact that the body might be much friendlier to our attempts than the virus, a theory proven right in Berlin.
An American HIV-positive patient, after stopping treatment, witnessed no replicating of HIV. This was a proof that this patient was "functionally" cured, and the legend of the incurable disease has become history.
Of course, it was not as simple as this. The patient had to undergo a transplantation to replace his CD4 cells with new cheap ones from IKEA that lacked the betraying arms which act as receptors to the virus (sorry I can't stay serious for more than 10 lines). Seriously, this type of faithful CD4 exists in a small portion of lucky people. Prevalence is in the range of 1 to 3 percent among white Caucasians. The process could be seen as replacing the immune system with a superman immune system -- an operation that is risky and difficult in many ways. It is not simply going to the Doctor and saying that you want an immune system that is resistant to STDs as you are planning to go wild over the weekend.
Now the part that really interests me ... is how the American patient feels now? Waking up from this ordeal to find out that he not only survived leukemia, but also became HIV negative again, what changes occurred in his behavior? How does he view the world from now on? Being Poz is an identity ... and to lose it would have an impact similar to the one you have when you first acquire this identity. It is not a headache that you wake up from and feel happy that it is not punching your head anymore; HIV is a virus that changes your entire interaction with others and with your body. For example, how would any one of us change his sexual behavior if he passed through the same process of being cured and turning HIV negative again? How would a man change knowing that not wrapping it is not fatal anymore? Would he plan a gangbang party over the weekend to celebrate the new situation ... or would he go to church/mosque shouting "I shall never have sex again, Lord be my witness!"
All these questions are still pending answers; but till we get these answers, the case of our American pal who was cured from HIV should send another important message to the folks at home. He was treated and cured in Germany and even became known as the "Berlin patient," without spending a fortune. And he participated in this medical breakthrough simply because he resided there. Those who argued against the universal health care in the U.S. and painted red anyone who argued for it, claiming its evil socialism, it's time for them to get some red color on their cheeks -- blushing with embarrassment that this medical victory is being achieved in a country where health care is universal. Not one German complained that now an American immigrant is abusing the health care system in Germany and getting cured from HIV with the money of German taxpayers.
The lesson to be learned by scientists (I love it when I throw lessons at everyone as if I am the greatest teacher of all! :), humbly, is: Now is the time to think out of the same box we were confined in for the last decades. This is the time to try new approaches. It is time to establish a fact that within the last five years we witnessed more than one good breakthrough related to HIV. Whether in Berlin or in Thailand, they all had revolutionary methods. It seems that the battle is getting closer to victory.
Now, I am not that idiot to say "Mission accomplished" when a battle is still in the beginning ... But I will certainly say: It's time to celebrate a good beginning of our march towards a cure from many directions; it is the beginning of the end of HIV. It's time to get back the trust of the donors that a cure is possible and is indeed the optimal solution to this pandemic which exhausted the world for many years. Thus, funding should pour in once again to support efforts seeking a cure ... and finally, it's time for me to wear my turban again and say: In Islam we are taught, "God never created an illness without creating its treatment." it's the balance of nature and a call to mankind to seek medications, treatment AND A CURE.

I'm Ibrahim, a 35-year-old professional Muslim man from the Middle East, living in the US. I want to fulfill my big dreams while holding strongly to my culture. My new identity as HIV positive changed my life in a strong way that I am still trying to understand and deal with. By sharing my experience, I'm trying to help myself and others in similar situations to find some peace -- and working on bringing the good change I believe every human must bring to this world. In my attempt to introduce TheBody.com's readers to my part of the world, I won't be taking you far -- I'll start right here, in the US.
