Section 1 Scope
- All offers, deliveries and services of MOBOTIX AG (hereinafter "MOBOTIX") are subject to these General Terms and Conditions ("GTC"). They become part of all agreements that MOBOTIX enter into with a customer regarding the products and/or services offered by MOBOTIX. The GTC also apply to all future deliveries, services or offers to a entrepreneur (Unternehmer), even if the GTC's validity is not agreed separately again.
- The general terms and conditions of the customer or a third party do not apply, even if MOBOTIX do not specifically oppose the application of such terms and conditions in each individual case. Even if MOBOTIX refer or reply to a message (for example, a letter, fax, e-mail or similar document) that contains, or refers to, the general terms and conditions of the customer or a third party, such reference or reply will not constitute agreement on MOBOTIX's part regarding the applicability of such terms and conditions.
- MOBOTIX reserve the right to modify the GTC as needed. Changes to the GTC will take effect for the customer only as follows:
(a) The changes have been communicated to the customer in writing, with the modified GTC enclosed and the changes having been highlighted;
(b) The customer has not objected in writing to the changes within a period of one (1) month after receiving the change notice and modified GTC; and
(c) With the notice of changes, the customer was also instructed in writing that the customer's right of objection will expire at the end of the above period and that silence on the customer's part will be deemed tacit approval of the changes to the GTC.
Section 2 Offer And Conclusion Of Agreement
- All offers of MOBOTIX, particularly in advertisements or other advertising material, are subject to change and non-binding, unless they are identified expressly as binding or contain a specific term of acceptance. If the customer accepts an offer after expiry of a term of acceptance defined in the offer, such acceptance will be deemed a new offer made by the customer. MOBOTIX can accept orders or contracts placed by the customer within fourteen (14) days of receiving them. At a minimum, an offer must be accepted in text form (Section 126b BGB [German Civil Code], such as e-mail).
- The legal relationship between MOBOTIX and the customer (the "Contracting Parties") is solely governed by the written agreement entered into, including these GTC. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, such agreement represents all agreements between the Contracting Parties regarding the subject matter of the agreement. Verbal commitments made by MOBOTIX prior to the conclusion of the agreement are legally non-binding. Any prior verbal agreements between the Contracting Parties are replaced by the written agreement, unless the agreement states in express terms that they are to be applicable and binding.
- The agreed quality of the products is solely defined by individual agreements made with the costumer and the technical specifications in the product data sheets. Any public advertising statements of third parties or MOBOTIX are not pat of the agreed quality of the products, unless MOBOTIX entered into corresponding agreement with the costumer. Information on the subject matter of the delivery or service provided by MOBOTIX in the product data sheets (for example, weights, measurements, values in use, load-bearing capacity, tolerances and technical data), as well as depictions of the same (for example, drawings and diagrams/figures), will apply only if the use of such information for the contractually intended purpose requires full and accurate compliance with such information and/or depictions. Such information does not represent guaranteed characteristics, but rather serves to describe or designate the delivery or service. Commercially customary changes and deviations due to legal requirements or that represent technical improvement, as well as the substitution of components for like parts are permissible, provided that they do not limit the contractually intended use and that the customer can reasonably be expected to accept them.
- MOBOTIX do not offer any guarantee or warranty that the products can be used as intended by the customer. It is only the customer's responsibility to verify and determine whether the products can be used for the intended purpose.
- MOBOTIX retain title or copyright to all offers and cost estimates provided, as well as to drawings, diagrams, calculations, brochures, catalogs, models, tools, documentation and other aids made available to the customer ("Objects of the Offer"). Without the prior express and written consent of MOBOTIX, the customer must not grant a third party access to the Objects of the Offer, or to the contents thereof. The customer must not disclose them or allow a third party to use or copy them. If so requested by MOBOTIX, the customer must return the Objects of the Offer in full and immediately destroy any copies made if the customer no longer requires them in the ordinary course of business or if negotiations do not result in the conclusion of an agreement.
Section 3 Prices And Payment
- The prices specified by MOBOTIX apply to the scope of services and deliveries defined in the offer. The prices are quoted in EURO exclusive of the respective applicable statutory value-added tax. Unless the Contracting Parties reach an agreement to the contrary, additional or special services must be remunerated separately and will be agreed separately. Offers directed at consumers (Section 13 BGB), such as the MOBOTIX online shop, show gross prices (including the respective applicable statutory value-added tax).
- Amounts invoiced must be paid without any deductions when the invoice is issued (the "Due Date"), unless the Contracting Parties have reached an agreement to the contrary. Payment is considered received in a timely manner if it is received in the account of MOBOTIX specified to the customer by or on the Due Date. Checks are deemed payment received only after they have been redeemed. If the customer fails to make payment by the Due Date, the customer will be deemed in default following an additional seven (7) days after the Due Date ("Entry into Default"), which does not require a separate reminder or warning. Any outstanding amounts will be subject to interest of nine (9) percentage points above the respective base rate (Section 247(1) BGB) p.a. (Section 288(2) BGB) from the day of Entry into Default. Where the customer is a consumer, the late-payment interest will be five (5) percentage points above the respective base rate (Section 288(1) BGB). The right to claim higher interest and further damages in the event of default remains intact.
- MOBOTIX may perform or execute outstanding (partial) deliveries or (partial) services only against pre-payment or security to entrepreneurs if MOBOTIX, after conclusion of the agreement, learn of circumstances that are likely to diminish the customer's creditworthiness substantially and that constitute a risk to the payment of outstanding payment obligations of the customer vis-à-vis MOBOTIX under the respective agreement.
Section 4 Delivery And Delivery Times
- Unless the Contracting Parties reach a written agreement to the contrary, MOBOTIX will effect deliveries ex works (EXW) MOBOTIX AG, Kaiserstrasse, 67722 Langmeil, Germany.
- If a delivery is to be made abroad at the request of the customer, any delivery periods and/or dates indicated by MOBOTIX will in this case be relative to the time of handover to the hauler, freight forwarder or any other third party hired for the transport.
- Any rights in connection with the customer's default notwithstanding, MOBOTIX may demand from the customer an extension to delivery and/or service periods or a rescheduling of delivery and/or service dates that reflects the period of time during which the customer fails to comply with its contractual obligations towards MOBOTIX.
- MOBOTIX are not liable for delays in delivery where such delays are due to force majeure or other events that were unforeseeable at the time that the agreement was entered into (for example, operational disruptions of any kind, particularly damage caused by fire and flooding, earthquakes, strikes, legitimate lockouts, war, war-like conditions, boycotts, trade embargoes, non-availability of Internet connectivity or other data transmission networks, difficulties in the procurement of necessary regulatory permits or other regulatory measures) for which MOBOTIX are not responsible. Where such events render the performance of deliveries or services for MOBOTIX substantially more difficult or impossible, and where the obstacle to performance is not merely of a temporary nature, MOBOTIX may withdraw from the agreement. In the event of obstacles to performance of a temporary nature, the performance periods will be extended or rescheduled to reflect the duration of such obstacles. Where the customer cannot reasonably be expected to accept the delivery or service due to the delay, the customer may withdraw from the agreement by means of an immediate, written notice to MOBOTIX. However, any partial services already rendered up to the time that the obstacle occurred must be remunerated. The Contracting Parties agree that the customer's claim to performance will be suspended for the duration of the obstacle - or excluded entirely if performance is or becomes impossible.
- MOBOTIX are entitled to partial deliveries if
(a) the customer can use the partial delivery with respect to the intended contractual purpose;
(b) the delivery of the remaining goods ordered is ensured; and
(c) this does not create for the customer any substantial additional costs and expenditure (unless MOBOTIX agree to assume such costs).
- If MOBOTIX default on a delivery and/or service, or if a delivery and/or service becomes impossible for MOBOTIX, regardless of the grounds, the liability of MOBOTIX for damages will be limited pursuant to Section 9 below of these GTC. This does not affect the above Section 4(4) of these GTC.
Section 5 Place Of Performance, Shipping, Packaging, Passing Of Risk, Transfer Of Ownership
- The place of performance for all obligations of MOBOTIX under the agreement is the head office of MOBOTIX. The place of performance is the delivery address specified by the customer in the event of a delivery agreed in writing between the Contracting Parties. As for a delivery abroad ordered by the customer, the place of performance is the location where the products to be shipped are handed over to the hauler, freight forwarder or any other third party hired for the transport. The provisions in Sentence 1 do not apply, if the customer is a consumer (Section 13 BGB).
- The mode of shipping and packaging are subject to the dutiful discretion of MOBOTIX.
- The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the products to be delivered passes to the customer upon notice and provision of the products to be delivered on the premises of MOBOTIX. In the event of a delivery of the products ordered by the customer, the risk will pass to the customer no later than at the time when the products are handed over to the customer or any third party at the delivery address communicated to MOBOTIX and/or to the hauler, freight forwarder or any other third party hired for the delivery (with the risk passing at the start of the loading process). If the customer is a consumer (Section 13 BGB), the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration will pass to the customer, in deviation from Sentence 1, at the time when the products to be delivered are handed over. Sentence 2 applies accordingly, with the provison that the hauler, freight forwarder or any other third party hired for the delivery must have been hired by the customer, rather than having been specified by MOBOTIX (Section 474(4) BGB). If the delivery is delayed due to circumstances for which the customer is responsible, the risk will pass to the customer upon notice of the products' readiness for dispatch.
- The time when ownership of the products is transferred is identical to the time of passing of the risk.
- Storage costs after risk has passed must be borne by the customer. The storage costs are at least 1.00 percent of the gross amount invoiced for the stored item for each completed week of storage. The right to claim and prove further or lower storage costs remains intact. If the customer defaults on acceptance, MOBOTIX will be entitled to reject performance of the agreement upon expiry of a reasonable period to be set by MOBOTIX, which must be at least twenty-one (21) days, if this measure was communicated to the customer at the time that the period was set. The customer is obligated to compensate MOBOTIX for any damage suffered as a result.
- The costs for insurance taken out at the customer's request for the shipment of the products to be delivered will be borne by the customer.
Section 6 Retention Of Title
- The retention of title provision defined herein below serves to secure any and all present and future claims that MOBOTIX have against the customer under the existing contractual relationship(s) between the Contracting Parties, including balance receivables under an open accounts system limited to this delivery relationship (hereinafter "Secured Receivables").
- The products delivered to the customer by MOBOTIX (for the purposes of this Section 6, the "Conditional Goods") remain the property of MOBOTIX until all Secured Receivables have been paid in full.
- The customer will hold the Conditional Goods for MOBOTIX free of charge.
- Until the realization event occurs, the customer may process and sell the Conditional Goods as part of its ordinary course of business. Pledges and assignments as security are not permitted.
- Where the customer processes the Conditional Goods, it is agreed that such processing takes place on behalf and for the account of MOBOTIX, acting as the manufacturer, and that MOBOTIX immediately acquire title in or - if the processing involves materials of several owners or if the value of the processed object is greater than the value of the Conditional Goods - co-ownership (fractional ownership) of the newly created object that is proportional to the ratio between the value of the Conditional Goods and the value of the newly created object. In the event that such acquisition of title by MOBOTIX is not intended, the customer hereby assigns to MOBOTIX by way of security its future title or co-ownership (proportional, as described above) of the newly created object. If the Conditional Goods are mingled with other objects to create a single object or mixed inseparably, and if one object becomes the primary object, the customer, if the primary object belongs to the customer, will assign to MOBOTIX co-ownership of the single object in the proportion defined in Sentence 1.
- In the event that the Conditional Goods are sold on, the customer hereby assigns to MOBOTIX by way of security the resulting claim against the buyer - if MOBOTIX hold co-ownership of the Conditional Goods, the assignment is proportional to the co-ownership share. The same applies to other claims that take the place of the Conditional Goods or are created in respect of the Conditional Goods, such as insurance claims or claims for tortious acts in connection with loss or destruction. MOBOTIX hereby accept this assignment. Furthermore, MOBOTIX revocably authorize the customer to collect on claims assigned to MOBOTIX on the customer's behalf and for the account of MOBOTIX in the event that the customer fails to comply with its contractual obligations towards MOBOTIX.
- Where a third party accesses the Conditional Goods, particularly by way of seizure, the customer will immediately alert the third party to the title of MOBOTIX and inform MOBOTIX thereof, so that MOBOTIX can enforce their property rights. Where the third party is incapable of reimbursing MOBOTIX for the judicial and extra-judicial costs incurred, the customer will be liable for such reimbursement.
- If the realizable value of the securities the value of the claims due to MOBOTIX against the customer by more than ten (10) percent, MOBOTIX will release the securities at their own discretion if so requested by the customer.
- If the customer violates the agreement and MOBOTIX withdraw (realization event) from the agreement, particularly in the event of default on payment, MOBOTIX may demand the surrender of the Conditional Goods.
Section 7 Warranty
- The warranty period is twelve (12) months from the handover of the product, also where the warranty is based on a breach of MOBOTIX. Where the customer is a consumer (Section 13 BGB), the warranty period will be eighteen (18) months from the handover of the product. Where the legal transaction involves a purchase of consumer goods (Section 474(1) BGB), the warranty period will be two (2) years from the handover of the product (Section 475(2) BGB).
- The products must be inspected carefully immediately upon their handover to the customer or a third party appointed by the customer. They are deemed approved if MOBOTIX do not receive a written notice of defects with respect to obvious defects or other defects that are identified in a careful inspection within ten (10) days following the handover of the products, or within ten (10) days following the discovery of the defect or the time when the customer discovered the defect in the routine use of the product and without closer inspection. At the request of MOBOTIX, the customer must return the product in question to the location specified by MOBOTIX. The product must be given an RMA number (return merchandise authorization number) that MOBOTIX must communicate to the customer. If this constitutes a warranty event, MOBOTIX will have to reimburse the costs of the return. The warranty does not cover costs from or in connection with the assembly and/or disassembly of the product and/or replacement parts that the customer incurs due to the fact that the customer has mingled the product with another object or other objects. The provisions of this paragraph (2) apply to customers that are consumers (Section 13 BGB), except that the products delivered are deemed approved if and to the extent that the customer fails to send a written notice of defects to MOBOTIX within four (4) weeks following the handover of the product for obvious defects or within one (1) year for hidden defects. The deadlines defined in the above Sentence 5 will be deemed met if the notice of defects is sent to MOBOTIX in a timely manner. Application of Sections 203 et seq. BGB remains intact.
- If the customer combined a defective product with another item in accordance with thw contractual purpose of the use, the customer shall be reimbursed for the necessary expenses for installation and/or removal of the product in accordance with the statutory provisions regardless of any fault of MOBOTIX. If the customer is an entrepreneur, the aforementioned right to reimbursement of necessary expenses shall be limited to 100 percent of the purchase price of the product concerned. If the customer is a consumer (Section 13 BGB), MOBOTIX is entitled to limit the right to reimbursement to an appropriate amount under the conditions of Section 475 (3) BGB, if an improvement or replacement delivery due to the right to reimbursement involves disproportionately high costs.
- In the event of material defects in the product in question, MOBOTIX are obligated and entitled, within a reasonable period and at their discretion, to subsequent improvement or replacement delivery. If the customer is considered a consumer (Section 13 BGB), the customer has a choice with regard to a type of subsequent performance (improvement or replacement delivery). If this fails, that is, in the event that this is impossible or unreasonable, or if subsequent improvement or replacement delivery is denied or unreasonably delayed, the customer may withdraw from the agreement or demand a reasonable reduction in the price.
- If a defect is due to the negligence of MOBOTIX, the customer may claim damages pursuant to the provisions in Section 9 of these GTC.
- The warranty does not apply if the customer modifies, repairs or maintains the products and/or individual components, or causes a third party to do so, without the consent of MOBOTIX, which renders the rectification of defects impossible or unreasonably more difficult. At any rate, the customer must bear additional costs related to the rectification of defects that are incurred as a result of such modifications.
- Any warranty is excluded for the shipment of used products agreed with the customer in individual cases. This does not apply if the customer is a consumer (Section 13 BGB) and this involves a purchase of consumer goods (Section 474(1) BGB). In the event, the limitation period differs from that defined in paragraph (1) Sentence 3 of this Section 6 and will be twelve (12) months following the handover of the product.
- The warranty provided by MOBOTIX for products delivered by MOBOTIX applies only to the extent described in this Section 7. Commitments (particularly guarantees) of the customer that the customer makes vis-à-vis a third party with respect to the products and that give rise to warranty claims of the third party exceeding the extent defined in this Section 7 are subject to the prior written consent of MOBOTIX and must be refrained from in all other circumstances. The customer undertakes to exempt MOBOTIX, immediately and at initial request, from claims brought by a third party against MOBOTIX due to the customer's commitments and promised warranty claims (including guarantee claims) that exceed the scope of this warranty.
Section 8 Proprietary Rights
- Each Contracting Party remains the owner of the registered industrial property rights that it had at the time that the agreement was entered into or that it was granted in the course of the agreement, including any potential copyright.
- Each Contracting Party will notify the other Contracting Party in writing immediately of any claims asserted against it due to the infringement of industrial property rights or copyright of a third party (hereinafter "Third-Party Rights").
- In the event that the products infringe a Third-Party Right, MOBOTIX, at their discretion and at their cost, (i) will modify or replace the products in such a manner that Third-Party Rights are no longer infringed, while the products continue to be capable of the contractually agreed functions, or (ii) will grant the customer a right of use by concluding a license agreement. If MOBOTIX fail to accomplish this within a reasonable period of time, the customer may withdraw from and/or cancel the agreement or demand a reasonable reduction in the price. Section 9 of these GTC remains intact.

Furthermore, MOBOTIX undertake to reimburse the customer for all necessary and reasonable costs that the customer incurs as a result, provided that
(a) the customer notifies MOBOTIX of the legal action or other proceedings in writing immediately;
(b) the customer provides MOBOTIX with all information necessary and requested in respect of the defense; and
(c) the customer relinquishes full control of the defense to MOBOTIX.
- Where the product contains computer programs that are subject to a "General Public License" (GPL) or another Copyleft agreement (LGPL, BSD, etc.), the customer will receive a copy of the license together with the product. This license is valid as a supplement to the provisions of these GTC, particularly with respect to the rights to and use of the GPL software, with the exception of the provisions contained in the license agreement that govern liability and warranty. Regarding these programs, MOBOTIX agree that, upon request, MOBOTIX will provide the customer with the executable programs and the source code for three (3) years following the handover of the program (or processor-controlled product) as set forth in the Copyleft license agreements. The customer must communicate the product's serial number for this purpose.

In cases of simple negligence, liability of MOBOTIX, their executive bodies, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents is excluded unless breach of substantial contractual obligations is involved. Substantial contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfillment allow for the proper execution of the agreement in the first place and on the fulfillment of which the customer has relied and also may generally rely.
- Where MOBOTIX are liable for damages under the above Section 9(2) of these GTC in terms of substance, such liability and its amount is limited to damages that MOBOTIX foresaw as a potential consequence of a breach of contract at the time of entering into the agreement or in light of the circumstances of which MOBOTIX were or should have been aware or should have foreseen with customary due care. At any rate, such liability will not exceed the value of the performance contractually owed. Indirect damages and consequential damages as well as loss of income or other loss of reputation are excluded from any liability to the extent permitted under the law.

- Where MOBOTIX provide technical information or act in a consulting capacity, and where such information or consulting is not part of the contractually agreed scope of performance that MOBOTIX owe, such information or consulting is provided free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability.
- The liability exclusions and limitations under this Section 9 do not apply to MOBOTIX's liability due to intentional acts, gross negligence or due to injury to life, limb or body. The same applies to instances of liability under the (German) Product Liability Act.
- Claims for damages of the customer, where they are not based on intentional or gross negligence of MOBOTIX, injury to life, limb or body or on the Product Liability Act, expire eighteen (18) months after the cause that gave rise to the claim and after the customer discovered or should have discovered the circumstances giving rise to the claim as well as became or should have become aware of the negligent person. Section 7 remains intact. The statutory limitation periods apply in all other respects.

- In the event of custom fabrications ordered by the customer, the customer is obligated to pay MOBOTIX a down payment of one third (1/3) of the costs agreed for the manufacture of the custom fabrication at the time that MOBOTIX accept the offer pursuant to Section 2(1) Sentence 3 of these GTC.

Section 11 Consumers' Right Of Cancellation
- Where the customer is entitled to a statutory right of cancellation, the following applies:
- The customer may revoke its contract declaration within fourteen (14) days, without having to state reasons, in text form (for example, letter, fax, e-mail) or - where the product was handed over to the customer prior to the expiry of the period - by returning the product. The period commences upon the customer's receiving these instructions in text form, but not before the customer has received the product, nor before MOBOTIX's duties to inform have been met under Article 246 Section 2 in combination with Section 1(1) and (2) EGBGB (Introductory Act to the German Civil Code). The timely sending of the cancellation or timely return of the product is deemed compliance with the cancellation period.
- The cancellation must be directed to: MOBOTIX AG, Kaiserstrasse, 67722 Langmeil, Germany.

In the case of a valid cancellation, any services already received and any benefits already derived must be returned. This applies to both Contracting Parties. Where the customer is unable to return to MOBOTIX services received and benefits derived, or only partially or in a deteriorated condition, the customer must pay appropriate compensation to MOBOTIX. As for the product's deterioration and benefits derived, the customer will have to pay compensation only to the extent that the benefits derived or deterioration can be traced back to a manner of handling of the product that exceeds the scope of testing the product's characteristics and functions. "Testing the product's characteristics and functions" is defined as testing and trying out the product in the same manner as one would in a retail shop. The customer must bear the regular costs of returning the product where the product delivered matches the one ordered and where the price of the product returned does not exceed an amount of EUR 40.00 (in words: forty euros) or where at the time of cancellation, involving a product at a higher price, the customer has not provided consideration or made a contractually agreed installment payment yet. Otherwise, the return of the product will be free of charge for the customer. Obligations for the reimbursement of payments must be met within thirty (30) days. The period commences for the customer upon sending its cancellation or returning the product; for MOBOTIX, upon receipt of the same.
- This concludes the instructions regarding cancellation.
Section 12 Confidentiality
- The Contracting Parties are obligated to keep strictly confidential any and all information that they obtain or receive prior to and during the term of the agreement with respect to information concerning the respective other Contracting Party that is not generally known ("Duty of Confidentiality"). Neither Contracting Party will share such information (directly or indirectly) with a third party or use of its own or external purposes.
- Particularly and without limitation, all trade and business secrets of the respective other Contracting Party are subject to the Duty of Confidentiality. Furthermore, this includes any other information regarding the present, former and future business of the Contracting Party, products, procurement sources and materials, operating and other costs, data, current customer lists, price lists and data concerning the pricing of products and services of the respective other Contracting Party and contained in the manuals, specifications, memoranda, forms, plans, documentation, drawings and drafts, designs, technical specifications, data, procurement sources, computer programs and documentation and which are deemed and classified - in a manner recognizable by the receiving Contracting Party - by the respective disclosing Contracting Party as confidential information and/or trade or business secrets.

- Any breach of the Duty of Confidentiality constitutes a substantial breach of contract.
Section 13 Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction over all claims from and in connection with the agreement (including disputes regarding its scope and validity) lies with the courts in Kaiserslautern, Germany, where a place of jurisdiction can be agreed effectively. Mandatory statutory provisions on exclusive jurisdiction remain intact.

The question: Can you throw a dressy occasion party gluten free, without your guests noticing or missing out on the gluten aspects of a 'normal' party?
The answer: Yes. With the help of a few fabulous friends (Jen, Robin, Peg, Jenn and Lindley, you ladies truly rock!!), a wonderful caterer ( Curt's Caterers), and a ton of work.
The event, a holiday party for my husband's work. The tradition had started years before my husband started in this current job. A couple volunteers to host, and throws the party, and then someone else jumps in the next year. It is a wonderful tradition, since they do shift work, rarely get together, and this is the only yearly event.
I had the party on Jan 11th,and worked my tail off to get it done. ( I will give my menu at the end of this post, so scroll down if you want to peek! ;) I learned something very important while doing all this. I have been gluten free for just over a year, and I realized that I am back. I started feeling so sick about 5 years ago, I had completely atypical symptoms, but I think most of us had the bone numbing fatigue, the achy joints, among so many other afflictions.
Being a Mom always came first for me.; I did what needed to be done for my children and home. I was always worried about running out of energy; to not have enough for even the basics of childcare. I did not go outside and play with my children, I hated going to the park, to the pool, and all those other happy childhood things.
I was exhausted after this party I threw. But I walked away with a whole new attitude. I have the energy now. I can do all those things I couldn't before. I don't have to worry anymore about if I can, I know I can. Since the party, I have gone snowshoeing and downhill skiing ( I had not done either in over 10 years. ), and you know what? I am fine. I moved furniture around with a friend. Easy. I wasn't too exhausted to make supper, or to do homework with my daughter. I could do it all.
What an amazing, life altering realization.
I just have to get my mind used to this. To remember I don't need to sit, rest , and store up energy for the rest of the day. I can get up and do.
The above photo is a centerpiece that one of my friends loved. She thought I should send it in to Real Simple, I thought I would throw it here, so I would remember it, because it was gorgeous and so sparkly at night.
Pretty plate, glass stone from a craft store, cheap silver or other colored ornaments (tops down), and these awesome little dinner candles from Target. Put it all together and light. The glass beads sparkle and glow from the candles. My 4 year old son and I put this together and had a great time.
And the food was wonderful. It was amazing to be at a party that I did not have to worry about cross-contamination; even if it was my own.
I mentioned a caterer. I never hired one before, and definitely not one that would have to make the food gluten free. There were 34 people coming, and I knew I could not make enough food myself, so I hired them to make a few of the heavier appetizers to take some of the load off . I talked to them about their menu, and asked which items were naturally gluten free, and which would be an easy switch. (Beef teriyaki, just substitute tamari, easy!). If I was to do this party again, and not want to hire someone to make the 4 or so items I needed to round out my menu. I would make them ahead, not cooked, and freeze them. Make my stuffed mushrooms, freeze, then bake that day. That sort of thing.
There were 2 of us there that react to gluten; and neither of us did after this party. Caterer gets an A+++! As well as my friends!
Ahh, my friends. They have to be the most understanding, wonderful ones around. They have asked, altered and completely understood my dietary needs. When Lindley makes a cheese plate for a party when I am going to be there, she always serves gluten free crackers. When Peg had a dinner party, she made the dinner gluten free, so I could eat freely. When Robin made this incredible white lasagna, she got some of my noodles and made me my own dish so I could have some. Jenn cooks gluten free for her family and has fed me when I am at the end of my rope.
So when they offered to bring something, I said yes. And they all made their food gluten free. Safe. I ate all of it, sighed and enjoyed, knowing my friends fed and feed me more than just the food they prepare.

Yeah, when I look at all this written down, it doesn't seem like much, but it did completely consume at least week to pull off. Don't forget, I had regular life to live with two children, and my husband worked the entire week prior to the event. I think I could have done more ahead if the holidays weren't just a week or two before.
It was a lovely party, well worth the effort and energy, and better yet, the experience taught how I am truly back.
OH, one last centerpiece tip. In one of the photos you can see a beautiful orchid. If you bought that at a florist shop, you would be out about $40.00. I buy them at Lowe's or Home depot for $14.00, and get a cool thing to put them in, cover with a bit of moss. The orchids last about a month. Make sure you but ones with the blossoms on; don't buy a broken one. They are nearly impossible to make bloom again.

So since my last MAA post there's been so many updates (& nerfing) in the game that it makes sense to have a new post altogether, so here goes...Loads of screenshots & cool artwork to download! And before you continue reading, I'd suggest you to check out my previous MAA post first.
With so many new X-characters in the MAA mix, Emma Frost isn't the only one who's pleased! >
28/08/12- Gambit is now part of the game! I've updated the team bonus tables to reflect the same.
Last time, I told you'll about the inclusion of Wakandan King, Black Panther. Now we got not two, but three more new characters with several more in the offing! The best part is all three hero(in)es are X-characters AND most of the upcoming heroes are X-Men too! :D
Presenting Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch, daughter of Magneto (<left)! She's got awesome powers in the game, thus making her a real game-changer in PvP- let's just say that now, you won't find yourself facing Captain America & Thor everytime! I waited till I got my Wanda on level 9 (yeah, it's been a while since she's been part of the game :P ) so that I could also post some screens of her powers:
Below is Wanda's recruitment dialogue:
Next we got everybody's fave X-bitch, Emma Frost, the White Queen (In her original & [upcoming] alternate Phoenix Five costumes>)! She's the reward you get at the end of the currently ongoing Spec Ops 002- Long Live The Queen. Emma's become another major fan-favorite, mainly due to her level 1 Psychic Tap ability. It ignores shields & ANY defense (except if the hero/villain is immune to psychic attacks), triggers NO counters AND causes some major damage against a character of ANY class!
Emma Frost has got some pretty nifty tricks up her (non-existent) sleeves- check out her powers in action:
You just got a few more days to at least add her to your roster, so keep at it guys! Trust me, Spec Ops 002 is way easier & DEFINITELY worth the trouble. You don't even have to 5 star all 3 missions in order to get Frost- just complete 25 tasks in order (<left) & the White Queen is all yours! The best part is some of the tasks can be achieved either in story-mode or PVP, so you save your precious uISO. And you have to get a maximum of 3 mastery stars in each of the 3 Spec Ops missions to get Emma. MUCH better than the very daunting Spec Ops 001 where Playdom made us jump through their numerous hoops to get Mockingbird (who many may argue wasn't worth it, but I'm not one of them).
Here's some interesting Emma dialogues from Spec Ops 002 (besides the first pic in this post). The last two are her recruitment dialogues:
Below is Rogue's recruitment dialogue:
At the SDCC 2012, loads of other new characters & alternate costumes were announced albeit sans their release dates/time. I'll just let this awesome character artwork do the talking. CAUTION: MAJOR nerdgasm ahead!
*A whole new PVP- I like the new PVP. Your PVP bonus is now not only dependent on the weapons you slot in, but also on the number of heroes you got & their levels. It's definitely a clever method on Playdom's part of trying to get players to buy characters that aren't so much in demand. The VERY handy Hero Bonus chart helps put things into perspective for you as to where your entire team stands. You are now offered up a lot more data after you select an opponent. Plus after battle, the number of points added/subtracted from your ranking is also displayed- very helpful indeed!
Recently, PVP underwent a major revamp of sorts- so now you get five battles per day wherein if you win the battle, your agent & two heroes get 5 XP + 45 bonus XP points (right>). Otherwise they only receive the 12 XP. It's definitely a start from getting just 5 XP for every battle won & 1 measly XP for those lost. The battle reports are something I've always wanted- ESPECIALLY after they stopped displaying the number of losses along with the wins. Besides this, the main PVP screen sports a new look (albeit just a color change but it's for the better).
*Spec Ops 002- Spec Ops 001 was pretty much a complete disaster. Thankfully, Playdom has learnt from their mistakes & created a Spec Ops 002 that is not only more achievable, but very engaging & A LOT of fun! This time round, getting Emma Frost (<yup, I got her quite a while ago) is task-based. I recommend that even after getting Frost, collect your daily 50 uISOs from your gifts & continue with five starring each of mission. Why miss out on getting 3 more gold & 15 more CPs?
*Ally woes solved- The game now displays your highest level allies in the scrolling list at the bottom of your game screen. So no need to bother about deleting your lower level allies so that your higher level allies are displayed. Plus you can now also safely accept all your distress calls (if you got a lot more than 50 allies of course).
*Inside jokes & Easter eggs- This isn't a "change" as such but I just had to mention it. I absolutely LOVE these little jokes Playdom has planted throughout the game. Before there was only one (which I haven't managed to get a screen of)- In the status bar on the loading screen one of the "tips" that appears is "Cyclops actually has two eyes" lol. Now, you'd notice quite a few of em, out of which I've posted a couple below:
^Emma Frost is a Pretty Cool Guy & Rogue & Nightcrawler got Mommy Issues.
*Accepting gifts is now easier- Instead of having to click each button twice to get rid of it from your gifts list, now one click accepts the gift AND sends one back to the gifter. A minor change, yes, but very convenient!
*Brilliant today, nerfed tomorrow- It's become routine for Playdom now: they'll introduce a new weapon/hero/costume which will be fantastic at the start but then it will inevitably be nerfed. Playdom, please don't reward your players' enthusiasm by screwing them over like this.
*No CP farming, not even any CP drops- In trademark Playdom fashion, almost as soon as all the new upcoming characters & costumes were announced at the SDCC 2012, players began to notice that not only had CP drops during story-mode fights completely stopped, but CP farming was also no more possible! My suggestion for "farming" CP now would be to continuously play any epic (battle) mission of your choice. That way the random reward pick at the end of the boss & epic boss fights may help increase your CP. Of course, there's always five starring missions (whether story-mode or Spec Ops) that will fetch you 5 CPs.
^Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat does her thing.
*PVP issue- My only grouse with PVP now is that you cannot choose your opponent. This becomes a real pain for me because I only tend to PVP when it appears as a side-task.
In-game advertising- Recently ads to buy limited edition weapons started popping up after deploys/battles. Supposedly these can be turned off by using gold. GAWD! Playdom just keeps on proving how much they are after their players' money despite the game having SO MANY bugs & their pathetic customer support amongst other customary complaints. And why bother with pop ups when players are already informed about new weapons & costumes via the welcome screen?
*Overload of sounds- In my last review for the game,I actually loved all the sound effects. Now somehow Playdom just thought those weren't enough & have added a plethora of sounds for almost every single thing! Some sounds have been changed for the better (eg. the sound of the gifts popping up when visiting allies), but most of the new sounds are totally unnecessary (GAWD! Those annoying flight deck mission jet sounds!).
My favorite sound still remains the one that you get when training for a hero is complete or when your agent levels up. Usually my sound is off, but I quite often find myself turning it on just to hear this one lol. This is also how I discovered all the new sounds in the first place! My second fave sound which is also a new one would be the random pick (or roulette) that appears after a deploy task or boss fight .
*Second chance at the rewards roulette- Now if you are not pleased with the reward you've received by the random pick at the end of a boss or epic boss fight, you can choose to have another go at it for the price of 5 gold (right>). 5 GOLD?! Seriously Playdom?
*Pairing Bonuses- You can get bonus points added to your final fight score simply by pairing certain heroes together. Here's the updated list of Team Bonuses (each for 50 additional points):
|Bonus Name
|Any X-Men characters
|Any Fantastic 4 members
|Any Heroes with a Flying ability
|Thor /Hulk /Hawkeye /Black Widow /Iron Man /Captain America /Scarlet Witch
|Thing /Hulk /She-Hulk /Phoenix
|Dr.Strange /Mr.Fantastic /Ironman

|Dr.Strange /Scarlet Witch
|Arcane Arts
|Iron Man /Gambit
|Ladies Man

|X-Force, Mommy Issues
|Storm /Gambit
|X-Force, Partners in Crime
|Black Cat /Gambit
|Kleptomaniac, Red in the Ledger
|Emma Frost /Scarlet Witch /Rogue /Gambit
|X-Force, Red in the Ledger
|Emma Frost / Phoenix
|X-Force, Girls of Summer, Mind Games
|Rogue /Gambit
|X-Force, Red in the Ledger, Southern Hospitality
|Hawkeye /Black Widow
|Frenemies, Assemble, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Red in the Ledger
*EPIC Boss Battles!- Completing all the deploys in certain missions might just unlock an Epic Boss battle! Of course, you'd need to have adequate CPs to recruit the required deploy characters. Here's a list of all the Epic Battles:
Elektra (Chpt 2- Mission 3, deploy Black Cat)
Epic Drop: Grecian Sai
Doctor Doom (Chpt 3- Mission 5, deploy Spiderman)
Epic Drop: The Doombringer
Magneto (Chpt 4- Mission 4, deploy Storm)
Epic Drop: Magnetic Field Generator
Loki (Chpt 5- Mission 3, deploy Wolverine)
Epic Drop: Norn Stone (Got this- pic posted in previous MAA post)
Doctor Octopus (Chpt 6- Mission 3, deploy Black Widow)
Epic Drop: Electrostatic Arm (Got this & put it in PVP :P )
Green Goblin (Chpt 7- Mission 3, deploy Spiderman)
Epic Drop: Goblin glider (Got this)
The Hood (Chpt 8- Mission 5, deploy )
Epic Drop: Possessed Pistol (Got this)
My Game Progress
I'm pretty darn pleased about my progress:
-FINALLY finished five starring all the live chapters (i.e. Chapters 1-8).
-All heroes have been hired.
-Got two level 12 heroes (Hulk, my first, & She-Hulk). Most of my heroes are level 9ers (except 4. see ). I level up my heroes according to the side-tasks; this helps me be able to balance my silver usage AND I get 30XP for every task completed. Doesn't sound much but it definitely all adds up.
*My Current Top 10 Heroes:
1. Emma Frost- Psychic Tap FTW! Mental Anguish ignores all defense unless the opposing character is immune to psychic attack.
2. Scarlet Witch- Her Chaos Shield & Probability Field are very helpful, although the latter is risky.
3. Hulk- GREAT for one shot kills & epic overkills.
4. Captain America- 2 words- Shield. Guard.
5. Thor- Get his Might of Mjolnir stacked by 2 & he works wonders!
6. Black Panther- Use his 1st & 2nd abilities & then Panther Stance & watch him be plain badass!
7. She-Hulk- Her 2nd power gives her 2 turns & the combo of her & Stomp is quite killer!
8. Storm- Lightning+Blizzard+Tornado=WIN! Plus her protective shroud is very nifty.
9. War Machine- Overcharge used with ANY of his other powers is BADASS! He's been nerfed but he's still great.
10. Doctor Strange- His Vapors of Valtorr & team-healing Teresing Boost are very useful!
*My Current Top 3 Weapons/Gadgets:
1. Omni-Fury
2. The Scroll of Melsalam
3. Stark Industries ISO-8 Cannon
MY SUGGESTIONS FOR PLAYDOM(Besides the others I've made in my previous MAA post):
*Nerfing- Stop releasing kickass stuff & then nerfing them. It's a big letdown to all players, especially those who've spent real money on any of that stuff! We now just expect nerfing to happen when something great is released, which should not be the case.
*Resume CP drops- I've currently finished all chapters so I can afford to "farm" the epic missions. But what about those who haven't & would rather spend time advancing in story-mode rather than farming for CP? If not this then at least....
*...Increase the CP payouts- in the random roulette reward picks at the end of boss & epic fights as well as Spec Ops bosses. This is literally our only chance to get CP now (unless you spend on the game, of course). But what about those that can't afford to pay for an online game (or those who are never going to)?
*Let opponents be chosen once again in PVP- This is my only current grouse with PVP otherwise it's great (though there's always room for improvement)
No region-wise discrimination- Let all those "Earn 1 gold" offers by watching this video or that be available to players from all regions. If the reason this isn't happening is because those companies aren't active out there, then bring in companies from those regions to start these gold promotions. The only ones that have worked for me so far are the movie trailers, but I know US players get a lot more.
Marvel- 1, 2 (for all the character images)

The Art of Morris Taft Thomas ExhibitionName: The Art of Morris Taft Thomas ExhibitionDate: February 28, 2019Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM CSTWebsite: http://rustonartisans.comEvent Description:Ruston Artisans is pleased to announce internationally recognized artist Morris Taft Thomas will be presenting The Art of Morris Taft Thomas Exhibition as part of a parish-wide initiative to celebrate Black History Month. The Exhibition will open on January 21, 2019, Martin Luther King Day, and will close on March 1, 2019. The Artist Reception will be held on February 2, 2019 from 5 - 8 pm.
Morris Taft Thomas has created artwork for Nelson Mandela, Alex Haley, President Jimmy Carter, BB King and so many more. He is a gifted author, prolific artist, dynamic poet, and exceptional teacher. He was an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brother with, and had the honor of interviewing, Martin Luther King, Jr. Thomas was born October 12, 1935 in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the age of two, Thomas' family moved to Scotlandville, Louisiana. He attended Southern University Laboratory School in 1953 and completed his undergraduate and graduate work at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1960 and Master of Education in Supervision and Administration in 1978, doing further study at Trinity University, McNeese State University, and Louisiana State University. He served on the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, Board of Directors, 1998-2002.
Thomas' teaching career began in Alexandria, Louisiana where he taught junior high school for twelve (12) years and was subsequently promoted to principal. He was a principal in the Rapides Parish School System for 25 years and adjunct professor of art history at Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA). Thomas retired in 1997 after a thirty-seven year teaching career.
Thomas' works varies from naturalistic to abstract. Contemporary abstract designs, animals, masks and flowers are motifs that occupy his oeuvre. Thomas is competent in many mediums including-stone, wood, clay and paint. His subject matter is drawn from African art combined with an interest in his native Louisiana heritage. He has embraced this series, taking his cue from artists like Jacob Lawrence. The artist admits that he completes a minimum of ten works in each series, and then moves on to another theme of interest. Mr. Thomas will next be showing his paintings and sculptures in New York.
