Originally I thought it would be funny to write a review of the Greta Van Fleet album in this overeducated, bloviating, Richard Meltzer '60s male critic type voice, only he thought Woodstock 99 was the one defining moment of rock music. The joke kind of fizzled out and ultimately didn't make any sense and I couldn't really tune it how I wanted to. Anyway, bad first drafts usually are destroyed but I'm bringing blogging back so here's this:
Rumsfeld Dreams & Greta Van Fleet
Let me talk at you about this dream. Haven't had one like this since Donald Rumsfeld rat fucked us in Iraq, a purebred, seminal dream. Oh-h-h I used to dream about it: Rock, that is. Rock and, as they say, its concomitant roll. Many dreams. Lots. SEVERAL. Three, four a night if the drugs were right. Unsafe post-moral, post-structural, post-everything dreams, NSF the kiddies. This one, this new dream was a craven vision, legs and hair and guitar and c. that had me twirling all the way back to the dawn of rock.
The dawn: Woodstock 99, the first particle of rock, the font of primal unity, you know, the real thing. A rare weekend rich w. oxygen before Bush II (but after Sixteen Stone), when there was finally some hot spit on the ball again: Lit, Godsmack, Creed playing w. the Doors' one and only Robby Kreiger, and the rock-and-ok-some-funk-too Chili Peppers' climactic conflagration, a raw display of eschatological viscera.
You won't find this in your shabby history book, but the toast of Woodstock was king skeezix himself, Josh Davis, he of Buckcherry, he of the aforementioned dream. Take Iggy Pop and pour uncut U.A.E. diesel down his throat and that's J. Davis, the once and future savior of rock&roll (give it time). Most bands was red sometimes yellow. Buckcherry was Roy G. Biv every song. They contained It, possessed It, became It—rock, that is.
To the dream. We are sitting, ass on cushion feet on pilly carpet, at a Famous Dave's BBQ somewhere in the middle of farm fuck nowhere and it's Josh and me and Justin Hawkins (he of the Darkness). On the table: drinks, appetizers, a rack of ribs, you know, lunch.
Picture this trio: dressed tip to toe in leather and rings and shimmering aquamarine jewelry and J. Hawkings, J. Davis, and me J. Larson are picking at the pork when Davis, shirtless (natch) leaps right up on the table and holds aloft a bona fide compact disc, a relic, a wonder, a rarity. "Davis get down from there what are you doing man" Hawkings says, seraphic, salacious.
"Attention all you shit weasels I hold in my hand a CD full of sound and fury..."
Ah, enough w. this shillyshally, I don't need to tell you what he's holding aloft above the sweet teas and smoked comestibles: the new Greta Van Fleet album, Anthem of a Peaceful Army, you keen-eyed reader full of so much sparkle and pop. This is the THING. Not since Buckcherry did a band blow out all my lights. All of them. Every one. At the same time. These four nu-saviors from Michigan (home of the Rock whose name is Kid) well they're not just Buckcherry or Wolfmother even JET hack-o-lites, they're on level 99—far out, intergalactic, cosmic, you know, out there.
Woke up from the dream and I swear to you kid the disc was lying next to my pillow like I was supposed to make it eggs. Shit, had I known what it was gonna do to me I woulda went out and bought a ring that morning. Anthem took me away to the fecund fields of peace and love, ice and snow, the past and the future, time bending around every guitar solo this kid tries to seduce me with. GVF was everywhere in the dream and out of it. Rumsfeld can rot and so can dreams now that we have a new Anthem.
NB: I read an article about Greta Van Fleet comparing them to Led Zeppelin but I don't hear it. What I hear are millions of streams on Spotify, an army coming back from the dead. I hear rock finally tolling the grave bells from underground, a genuine dead ringer.

What makes a work of literature good or bad? How freely can the reader interpret it? Could a nursery rhyme like Baa Baa Black Sheep be full of concealed loathing, resentment, and aggression? In this accessible, delightfully entertaining book, Terry Eagleton addresses these intriguing questions and a host of others. How to Read Literature is the book of choice for students new to the study of literature and for all other readers interested in deepening their understanding and enriching their reading experience. In a series of brilliant analyses, Eagleton shows how to read with due attention to tone, rhythm, texture, syntax, allusion, ambiguity, and other formal aspects of literary works. He also examines broader questions of character, plot, narrative, the creative imagination, the meaning of fictionality, and the tension between what works of literature say and what they show. Unfailingly authoritative and cheerfully opinionated, the author provides useful commentaries on classicism, Romanticism, modernism, and postmodernism along with spellbinding insights into a huge range of authors, from Shakespeare and J. K. Rowling to Jane Austen and Samuel Beckett.
'This is Eagleton at his most charming and an excellent guide for literature students early in their education or those seeking a refresher course.'Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly 'A genial guide to exactly what the title promises. . . This short book benefits from a conversational, even humorous tone. . . Includes a very funny exegesis of 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' and an interpretive linkage of Dickens and Harry Potter.'Kirkus Reviews Kirkus Reviews Part of the fun of the book is the way in which Eagleton prompts, provokes and at times infuriates. How to read How to Read Literature?...as an ideal introductory guide to critical analysis, and a thoroughly enjoyable reminder of Eagletons own skill and subtlety as a reader.Felicity James, Times Higher Education Supplement Felicity James Times Higher Education Supplement 'A pleasingly readable overview of what we talk about when we talk about books. . . . Incisive and honest.'Michael Washburn, Boston Globe Michael Washburn Boston Globe 'How to Read Literature is a lively and engaging primer on basic strategies for appreciating literature, a kind of English 101 in a book.'Washington Post Washington Post
Terry Eagleton is Distinguished Professor of Literature, University of Lancaster, UK, and Excellence in English Distinguished Visiting Professor, University of Notre Dame. One of the most influential literary critics in the English-speaking world, he is the author of more than 40 books on literary theory, postmodernism, politics, ideology, and religion, among them his best-selling Literary Theory: An Introduction.

Straight to Victoria Station off the plane with hardly any sleep. A nostalgic train journey through frosty Surrey/Sussex countryside and before I know it, I'm in Chichester. Here to check on the house and see Mary & Nick. And niece Laura who last week finished her Fine Art Masters in Photography at Falmouth University and has temporarily come back to the nest while figuring out what to do next. A job? Or put it off and do a PhD? When I decided to 'read' geography I naively thought I might end up making maps or planning towns. Ha!

UConn's Irwin earning trust with her solid play
Kyla Irwin sure didn't sound like someone in need of attention.
Even as she prepared to make her first start at UConn in place of Megan Walker — who was sidelined with strep throat — Irwin went about her day as if it was any other.
"She didn't say anything to us," her mother, Bethany, said Wednesday by phone. "When they were out in Missouri when Megan was ill, no we didn't know at all. In fact, I had gotten a text from someone and it was like, 'Hey, I think Kyla is starting.' I'm like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Irwin, a 6-foot-2 junior, had made 68 straight appearances off the bench. Only hours before tipoff against St. Louis on Dec. 4 did she learn that her role would be changing.
"The morning I heard Megan was sick, I was like, 'Ok, we'll figure out who's going to start,' " Irwin recalled last Saturday. "(Napheesa Collier) just kind of looked over at me and was like, 'So you're going to go to her.' I was like, 'Got it.' It was really nonchalant, which I liked, because it didn't make me nervous or anything."
If Irwin was nervous come tip off, it didn't show. A defense-first forward with a high motor, Irwin proceeded to fill the stat sheet as the No. 1 team in the country rolled to a 98-42 victory.
"She didn't say anything," said Bethany, who, despite a short notice, watched the game back home in State College, Pa. "I don't think she wanted to. She just felt comfortable not saying anything, which was fine. I was proud of her no matter what."
Irwin's effort, literally and figuratively, registered with not only her family, but also UConn coach Geno Auriemma. She played only 13 minutes in the blowout win, but they were a productive 13 minutes: a career-high 10 rebounds, two assists and two points.
Though Auriemma remains lukewarm about his bench, Irwin, who also started in place of Walker the next game against Seton Hall, is slowly emerging into someone he can trust.
"The biggest thing is just picking up where Meg left off," senior Katie Lou Samuelson said. "You worry that when someone's down in our starting lineup, we're going to have to change things and we're going to have to figure out stuff. Nothing changed. We just did the same exact thing but added Kyla in there.
"She didn't let up at all — that's the biggest thing. Knowing we can count on her is going to be even bigger for us … when Meg's back."
While Walker, the consensus No. 1 player in the Class of 2017, arrived in Storrs with plenty of fanfare, Irwin was considered more of a project. Irwin, who had played for her mother at State College High School, was unranked by some recruiting services despite a highly productive senior season (averaged 26.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists). She proceeded to make a minimal impact across her first two seasons at UConn, averaging 2.3 points and 1.3 rebounds across 62 games.
What the Huskies have noticed lately, though, is a more confident player. In her second start, Irwin contributed six points (including two 3-pointers) and three assists in 29 minutes in a 99-61 rout of Seton Hall.
"I think even the difference between last game and this game (is when) she got an open shot, she squared up and shot that … open 3," Samuelson said. "We know she can hit that shot, but sometimes it's nerve-wracking and you don't want to make a mistake or anything. I think she felt confident out there."
Added Auriemma: "Kids have confidence in her, so the more playing time she gets, I think the better."
Despite being given a larger role, Irwin said her mindset hasn't changed. She's remained focused on the intangibles such as defense, rebounding and drawing charges.
"Just do the little things and I knew everything else would take care of itself," Irwin said.
Bethany wouldn't expect anything less from her daughter.
Said Bethany: "We've always tried to tell Kyla … 'You have to focus on what you can control. You can't control minutes, you can't control playing time, but you can control your attitude and your work ethic.' … I remember coaching her in high school, she just did what she was supposed to do.' "

I've recently received some emails on the topic of grief, its journey, and how to live through it. I know grieving is very personal and there is no right or wrong way of living with it and through it. I also know sometimes the pain is huge and we feel we can be squashed by it. So I reflected on my own nineteen month old journey and here are some thoughts I wanted to share.
The things that can certainly help us are remembering how much the person we lost wanted to stay alive. Life is a gift no matter how hard sometimes it feels. We have to honor this gift for ourselves and the people we lost.
Don't put any pressure on yourself to do anything or to be anything. Loss is such a rupture in our lives that it gives us permission as well as a chance to see life in a different light and to live it in a different way. With the loss of someone really loved there is also a loss of ourselves as we were. I am today more of myself than I actually have been before. My sense of values and needs have also been readjusted and I actually respect more the person that I am today. So take this time to give yourself the space to go through all the changes YOU need to go through.
Stay close to yourself. Really listen to your needs. Do I really want to stay alone? Should I go out with a friend or a family member for some distraction? Sometimes we feel paralyzed and if we are in touch with ourselves we know that just a bit of effort will get us out of the house and that will be a good thing. Sometimes we need solitude to think, to feel and to be with ourselves. We need to honor those times as well. Learn to listen to the differences.
Do small easy things that will cuddle and sooth your grief. We all have easy to do things that sooth us; a massage, facial, a glass of wine, a nice meal, gardening. Think of something you enjoy doing because you need to feed your soul.
Change your living environment a little or a lot. Living in a somewhat different home lets us know that life has changed and it's okay. It psychologically reminds us that we have stayed alive through the change and new things and people will be moving through our lives.
Find things to do that you REALLY think are worthwhile and important. Helping of service gives us a sense of worth and purpose while helping us focus on others for a period of time.
With the internet being so much part of our lives it is easy to look for a group or an activity that interests us. There are group meetings for wine and cheese tastings at different restaurants or clubs. There are book reading clubs, hiking clubs, language clubs. Whatever you can think there is a club for it. So find one that interests you and join it. Meeting new people that don't know anything about us gives us a taste of what our lives can become; a life that is not all about the loss.
As time goes on we start building a new life. We never forget and there will always be those moments where we feel overwhelmed by the loss. But at those times we take a deep breath and remind ourselves that life is in constant motion that new people and situations will undoubtedly enter our lives and we will learn and experience.
I have learned to live with my loss and while knowing this deep scar will never heal, I look forward to my new experiences and new people. My wish is for all of you going through your own loss to have the strength and the love for life to continue on in your never ending quest of happiness.

Road Map To The Future
January 11, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
I have been writing a manuscript about my life with my husband for the past fourteen months. Below is the first page:
"My husband, Chris Rubin died of cancer on August 15th 2008 after a 2 ½ year battle that included a liver transplant, a wedding (ours) many trips to emergency rooms and countless stays at intensive care units across the country.
But mine is not a sad story of loss but a story of love, the depths of which I'm still discovering. Chris and I met in an ordinary way, a date set up by a friend, but everything that happened from there on was nothing but extraordinary.
Six weeks after his passing, I decided to write this book. First because it had been something he had wanted to do but later because it was a way to transform pain into healing. I honor his courage and his desire to live by living.
This book is a toast to Chris who was a gift given to me with eternal consequences."
The manuscript has 226 pages and today I sent 50 pages to an agent who was interested in reading.
I am a writer/producer and have gone out on a limb with my work many times before, but this is different. These 226 pages contain all the love and pain Chris and I shared together.
Every word in the manuscript is a commitment to the truth. I wanted others to be reminded how fragile life is and to live each day fully. And I wanted to say you can love as much as I did and still continue to love life after a great loss. Because even when it hurts, life is a gift. The world is always open to every one of us to experience all the emotions.
A lot of us are deeply wounded but the scars we carry remind us where we have been and of our survival.
I wish we all continue to honor where we have been and embrace with passion where we are and where we're going.
Up In The Air
January 10, 2010 by Greta Fenley

Bad habits are hard to break. Often there's just something about them we enjoy, even if it's not good for us. Good habits are also hard to break. Good habits can change because they don't fit in our life anymore. Good habits can also be changed, out of our control, when situations turn life upside down.
The movie "Up in the Air" was all about habit. Ryan Bingham played by George Clooney, declares to the woman who has captured his heart, "I want my life to be a +1." After years of staying happily airborne, he was ready to change his habit of living, always on the go, unattached and alone.
Two years ago all of my habits for living changed. They became focused on taking care of my husband, whose strong health was slipping away. My habits took on the role of a caretaker, a nurse, a nutritionist. Then when he passed away my habit of living "+1" stopped. My life of automatic habits disconnected. My habit of loving my life was gone.
New Years Resolutions are all about habit. Creating good habits to stop smoking, join a gym, or loose weight are challenging. New habits can also be short lived. But what about when we have to create habits we don't want? Habits like sleeping and living alone? Planning habits that are for 1 person alone, not 2? Habits that are now my reality. I've existed with them for over a year. Now it's time that I learn how to live with them.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." –Mark Twain
Kiss At Midnight

Filed under Blog
There is overwhelming silence when you live alone. It's hard to conceive that I am 53 and living alone for the first time. I lived with my parents until I got married at 19. I became a mom at 22. Extremely uncomfortable and unbalanced with silence, I became the social director for my family and consistently filled our home with friends and laughter.
It has now been 376 days since my husband passed away. I miss him more than words can describe. I continue to experience such a range of emotions not having his arms and legs wrapped around me when I go to sleep. Waking up alone each and every morning only reinforces the reality that he is truly gone.
Each night snuggled securely in each other's arms, we could be intensely intimate through touch, even without making love. Touch can offer a climax of passion that begins deep within your heart. I still find myself aching with raw emotions, reaching to retain the memory of his body against mine. There are times when I open the bathroom cabinet and the smell of my husband's cologne is so strong it overwhelms me. With the smell of his presence, I close my eyes and hold him close.
The adjustment of traveling this journey alone has been terrifying. I know I have the choice to either make this transition move forward or settle and remain captive in my grief. There are days when the sadness overpowers me. The end of last year was spent existing in shock. Numbness and indifference pushed me through the year. I had moments when I felt somewhat confident yet they were gone as quickly as they came.
Now the end of the year is almost here. On New Years Eve I will be alone for the countdown. Even though I won't feel my husband's kiss at midnight, my soul will know he is there. I cherish the years we had together in this life and the love we shared.
When we look back at this year, what memories will we think about? What will we treasure the most?
What will I take forward with me, from this year filled with moments without my husband?
I will treasure memories of my family and friends, always there for me when I didn't have the strength nor desire to stand on my own. Memories of honoring my husband by trying to do the best I could without him. Memories of hope.
Always treasure your special memories. Happy New Year.
The Little Girl Inside
December 18, 2009 by Greta Fenley
Filed under Blog
Yesterday I walked around for hours not having a clue as to where I was going. It was like I was the only single person. I was surrounded by couples. I kept noticing that so many were walking side-by-side yet not talking, and no physical contact. I felt so deeply sad for them. Whenever my husband and I would walk down the street we were always talking, laughing, holding hands or with our arms around each other. He always walked next to the street. He always slept next to the door. His theory was they'd have to go through him to get to me. He was always protecting me. And many times he even protected me from me.
Beginning back from when I was a little girl, I developed the habit of ignoring things that I didn't want to accept. Make believe that it wasn't real. Make believe that it hadn't really happened. Or make believe it happened a different way that was easier to accept. When I was in college I studied Narrative Therapy which explained a lot to me about how I think. It is about rewriting the story. We can't go back in time to change what has happened in our life yet we can recreate the experience and change the memory.
I have wanted to believe that my husband isn't really gone. That he will come back home. Last week in my dreams there was a knock at the door. Looking out the window I saw him. Clearly it was him. Wearing his red jacket, jeans and Cole Haans loafers, there he stood, waiting for me to open the door. He wasn't facing the door so I couldn't see his face, yet I knew beyond a doubt it was him.
That little girl inside me was still holding tightly to her dreams, to not accept reality. For so many years my make-believe world worked. Until now.
I've tried to rewrite the story yet the ending doesn't change. I have lived this past year in a fog, only going through the motions of each day. I can't ignore that I'm alone. I can't ignore the silence and the lonelines. I can only change the way my heart listens to the thoughts of the little girl inside, the attitude I bring to my tomorrows…
A Gentle Reminder
December 17, 2009 by Greta Fenley
Filed under Blog
While waiting in a crazy long line outside the airport to check my bag, I had a sinking feeling that I wasn't going to make my flight. Anxiety intensified. Yet when it was finally my turn, the attendant told me to hurry, that I still might make it. Rushing inside it was like hitting a brick wall. I couldn't even see the end of the line for security.
Despairingly, on the verge of tears I just couldn't ask if anyone would let me in front of them. Lots of people were missing their flights and tempers were on a short leash, which I understood. Would I appreciate someone ahead of me letting people get in front? Why should they make their flight if it meant that I could then miss mine?
When I finally made it to the end of the line standing there was a student I befriended in one of my classes. She had shared with me her journey of being raised by a single mom. When she was still a young girl, her father passed away. Mature beyond her years, I remembered being humbled by this girl's strong optimistic attitude. It was obvious that her memories with her dad reflected quality time together.
I needed this gentle reminder. Quality time is more important than quantity of time. Be thankful for the time we are given with people in this life. Focus to not spend time on what we don't have anymore. Cherish our memories which are for a lifetime…
We do not remember days, we remember moments.

We believe that pleasure is a birthright – a right to be free to experience pleasure without blame, shame or guilt between consenting adults and with ourselves. We offer experiential learning opportunities that consciously access profound ecstatic and erotic states.
Our teaching involves a variety of instructive modalities, including:
- Breath Work
- Touch
- Erotic Massage
- Pelvic Release Work
- Scar Tissue Remediation
- Self Pleasuring Coaching & Witnessing
- Boundary Setting
- Anatomy
- Body Awareness
- Erotic Trance
Certified Sexological bodyworkers create a safe environment for exploring desire, shame, empowerment and pleasure...
One of the somatic realms that Sexological Bodyworkers introduce to our students is a state of arousal that is free of fantasy, unfinished emotional business, religious dogma, cultural caveats and habitual sexual behaviours. In this meditative state, an individual becomes aware of the body as a source of wisdom and freedom. One of the ways to access this fecund state is by actively receiving a Taoist Erotic massage.
Helping others access and make use of an array of erotic states is foundational to the education we offer. At it's core, this work is a compassionate, somatic approach to enriching embodiment and discovering how one can fully, lovingly and erotically inhabit the body.

When someone suffers an injury due to the negligence of his or her health care provider, medical malpractice has occurred. If you find yourself in this situation, your only solution will be to find a medical negligence lawyer immediately. In this situation, what you need is a trustworthy medical malpractice lawyer whose success rate is proven. The reason is that Medical Malpractices are mostly complex even more than other personal injury cases. It involves many upgraded scientific theories and medical terminologies which only a good malpractice attorney can decipher.
How to Find a Good Malpractice Lawyer?
Moreover in the society, trusting the doctors comes as an automatic reaction. The innate trust given to doctors as a whole makes it hard to prove their medical negligence even if it is to a jury. Due to these complexities, there is a need for you to be highly judicious when you are choosing a medical malpractice lawyer to represent you.
Traits to Look For in a Malpractice Attorney
If you want to get a trustworthy and proven medical negligence lawyer, there are certain traits that you need to find. Such traits as;
- Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases
Every lawyer has his or her area of specialization even as doctors have. What most lawyers practice in effect is a general law which they use to help their clients in one way or the other? They may be good at moving a divorce forward or writing wills for clients, but when it comes to Medical Malpractice, they are amateurs. Medical Negligence Law is complex, and only a malpractice attorney with experience can help you. That is why it will benefit you only to hire a malpractice lawyer whose focus is on injured patients.
- Medical Knowledge
For a malpractice lawyer to handle a case successfully, he or she must be conversant with the intricacies of the medical field. Some attorneys acquire medical degrees even with their law degrees. Although it is not compulsory, you should make sure that the prospective attorney can knowledgeable discuss any errors by the doctor. He or she should also know what the doctor could have applied differently.
- Can Secure a Medical Witness
Even if you retain a malpractice attorney that has in-depth knowledge of medicine, the jury and judge do not know. That is why there is a need for a medical witness who can testify on a Malpractice case. This witness should be a specialist who can testify knowledgeably concerning the standards of medical care required from a doctor. He or she should be able to testify whether your injury is as a result of the doctor's negligence. That is the reason your malpractice lawyer should be one that has access to such a witness.
- Collects only Contingency Fees
Most people hesitate to embark on a medical malpractice case due to the financial involvement. They are already suffering under the weight of the exorbitant medical bills. The addition of the medical malpractice attorney fees may prove to be too much for them. Fortunately, most medical malpractice lawyers only charge contingency fees instead of charging per hour. In this situation, the medical malpractice attorney fees will be a percentage of your winnings. Furthermore, if you did not win the case, the lawyer will not charge you anything.
- Compassionate and yet Aggressive
It is not every malpractice case that goes to trial. Some of them settle via out-of-court settlements. Due to the intensity and length of medical malpractice cases, it is crucial to get a malpractice attorney that is aggressive and compassionate at the same time. On your first consultation with the lawyer, you should ask him or her on the strategy use. Any good malpractice lawyer already knows that you are passing through a lot of stress. He or she should be able to provide you with support and guidance throughout the whole time of the case.
Finding a Medical Negligence Lawyer
Medical malpractice cases usually have short statutes of limitations, and their success rate depends on how fast you file the lawsuit. That is why you should be swift in hiring a malpractice lawyer.
Steps to Follow to Find a Good Malpractice Lawyer
After equipping yourself with the above-listed instructions of what to look for in a malpractice attorney, you can follow these steps;
- Ask for reference– In case you have a lawyer who is helping you in another matter, you can inquire from him for a good and trustworthy malpractice attorney.
- You may use Lawyer's Websites– At Lawyers.Com, there are reputable lawyers with high ratings available to you.
- Check on other Legal Sites– there other legal websites which you can search for malpractice attorneys in case Lawyers.com did not prove fruitful. Such sites like Findlaw.com or Nolo.com.
- Ordinary Search Engine– for those people that reside outside Canada or USA, the above websites may not carry all the information they may need. That is why they may need to find information from the ordinary search engines.
- Contact your local, state, or Federal Bar associations for information on good and trustworthy Malpractice Lawyers.
- Select the best and Interview your prospective medical negligence lawyer- Before the interview, note down the specific date of your injury, the particular damage you suffered, and the name of your treating doctor. Make sure to have the basic specifics of your case because the lawyer will require them.
- Prepare a Questionnaire and Book an appointment with a lawyer you are interested in retaining. Remember to ask the lawyer all the necessary questions including the medical malpractice attorney fees.
- After asking the lawyer the appropriate questions and you are satisfied with the answers, you can then agree. Sign the necessary paperwork and hand over all the medical records to him or her. When you release the contingent fee to the attorney, it serves as an agreement between you and the attorney about fees.
Passing through the experience of a Medical Malpractice case is extremely traumatic for the victim and their families. However, when you follow the instructions in this content and find a good and trustworthy medical malpractice lawyer, you are closer to becoming a winner. You will be able to get closure from the painful experience.

We found those qualities at its best in our collaboration with the specialized agency IHOFMANN."

text: A case study carried out at a municipal drinking water treatment plant in southern Sweden showed that the formation of short-chain fatty acids in slow sand filters can result in severe off-flavour problems. When an extract of the headspace of the surface layer of a sand filter was subjected to gas chromatographic analysis with sensory detection (GC sniffing), several strong, rancid odours were detected. Mass spectrometric analysis of the same extract, before and after methylation, showed that substantial amounts of butyric acid, valeric acid and isovaleric acid were present in the analysed sample. The off-flavour caused by these compounds was removed by repeated shock chlorination of the malfunctioning slow sand filter. Analysis of fatty acid esters may provide an early warning of the described off-flavour problem.

This morning we awoke to rain but luckily we had a yummy breakfast of french toast to brighten our moods! The rain did not stop us from enjoying a normal class schedule. However, due to the slippery conditions of the A-field, sports class was held in the upper lodge. Swimmers enjoyed a warm lake even though the morning air was a bit chilly. Boaters did not mind the slight drizzle, on the contrary, it made boating all that more fun! Campers worked on their projects in arts and crafts while the hunt for Boris continued!
Campers enjoyed quite a show today during counselors' swim! As they watched all of the staff jump from the tower, the campers cheered them on as they tried to catch a football or frisbee that was thrown from main dock. Today the kitchen staff was caught off guard during lunch by the sheer amount of chicken fingers that the campers chowed down on. They frantically made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to appease the boys' appetite!
After a good rest hour, the campers had a few options to choose from as opposed to going in for general swim. Curt and Aidan, two of our counselors, offered music lessons, while Deb gave 8 lucky campers the opportunity to attend sculpting lessons. Kevin took more boys on a nature excursion while everyone else enjoyed the bright sun and warm weather on Columbia Lake!
Today's activity period was quite a busy one! Counselors offered Nuke 'Em, handball, Kan Jam, fishing, paddle boarding, and jumping off the tower! Our big sailor boat, the Hunter, was even taken out!
Another great meal was for dinner! Grilled cheese, tomato soup, and a side of tomatoes to put on top were quickly gobbled up by the hungry boys. Not only was the main course quickly devoured but so was the dessert which was cheese cake!
Tonight's evening program will take place in the woods! The campers will be split into two teams, "spies" and "smugglers". They will run through the woods trying to "smuggle" points up to the A-field. The "smugglers" will have to avoid the ever so sneaky "spies"!
With all of the 4th of July commotion over, we are hoping the boys will sleep soundly tonight!
~Taylor and Allissa

first issue of the Journal of Illicit Economies and Development (JIED), which deals with the interaction between illegal markets and development
In January 2019, the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime published the first issue of the Journal of Illicit Economies and Development (JIED), which deals with the interaction between illegal markets and development. The opening issue reflects the presentations of the international colloquium "Addressing the Development Implications of Illicit Economies" from 19-20 April 2018. It was hosted by GPDPD on behalf of BMZ together with the University of Glasgow, Christian Aid and the Institute for Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) of the University of London. The authors discuss how the harmful effects of illegal economies, for example drug trafficking, on health, the environment, the stability of democratic institutions and public safety can be mitigated or avoided.
The LSE journal also focuses on the question of how the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - such as poverty reduction, food security, the promotion of health, the protection of the environment and strong institutions - can be implemented in the presence of illegal economic structures. People live in conflict regions around the world marked by poverty and a lack of employment opportunities. They must constantly find new ways to secure their livelihoods. As legal sources of income are often scarce, illegal markets emerge, for example for drugs production and trafficking. Only by eliminating development deficits, the underlying root causes of illegal markets, communities can develop sustainably.
The approach of Alternative Development also pursues this goal. GPDPD contributed an article on its evolvement and relevance in international drug policy: "From Alternative Development to Sustainable Development: The Role of Development Within the Global Drug Control Regime". Alternative Development aims at creating economic alternatives to the cultivation of illicit drug plants in order for small-scale farmers to secure their livelihoods in a sustainable way. This entails for example measures such as the improvement of the infrastructure in remote areas and the promotion of the market access for legal agricultural goods that are meant to improve the general conditions for rural development.
The first issue of the Journal of Illicit Economies and Development can be downloaded here. All information on further issues can be found on our Twitter channel.

Chief of Police Mid-Year Report to the City Council
- Written by David B. Clark
The Woodinville City Council met on Tuesday, September 18 for their final meeting of the month. After the standard roll call, flag salute, and approval of agenda in order and content, councilmembers welcomed members from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for the sole special presentation of the evening.
WSDOT's presentation was on the SR 522 Paradise Lake Road Interchange project. Their goal is to develop an improved interchange at the SR 522 and Paradise Lake Road interchange that meets the needs of the community and traveling motorists and incorporates community feedback. The presentation noted that the project was invested in providing easier access to the Maltby Café and other surrounding businesses. The project will decrease congestion and collisions in addition to improving access to numerous local businesses, churches, and schools. Additionally, travel time through will be shortened.
The members of the presentation described that they are working with the WSDOT Practical Solutions process to get the right size project so that it can be funded and get built. The goal is to have the final alternative by December so it then can be submitted to legislature. The group is working to narrow the potential alternatives to two.
WSDOT will be hosting an Open House on Tuesday, October 2.
After Public Comment, Woodinville Chief of Police Katie Larson delivered her Mid-Year and June 2018 Police Services Report to council. "By in large, crime is down in our city, again," stated Chief Larson. While crime is down, Larson's own "personal nemesis" car prowls, has seen a subtle increase. Part one offenses, those that include larceny, vehicle theft, and assault, among others, had decreased by 11.52%. Part two offenses which include forgery, trespass, vandalism, and others saw a very slight increase from 188 in 2017 to 195 in 2018. Despite this minor bump, total crime is down in Woodinville by 4.27%.
Larson went on to provide a mental health update to council and attendees. She shared that all Woodinville police had undergone 3-day de-escalation training, 8-hour Crisis Intervention training, and 40-hour Crisis Intervention training sessions. Additionally, they all continue to participate in ongoing online training. Larson went on to explain that so far in 2018, Woodinville Police had already received 38 mental health related incidents. She explained that it's not just the number of calls, but the number of units dispatched and the average time spent on a call that are of significance. So far in 2018, Woodinville Police are averaging 97 minutes spent per unit dispatched for a mental health related call. Chief Larson went on to utilize a case study that showed that it took 15 hours to investigate a single call and approximately 10 Woodinville and KCSO personnel were involved. The mental health trainings are clearly forming more thorough responses.
For the next business item, City Manager Brandon Buchanan recommended City Council to approve a professional services agreement with GGLO for architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and related services for the Civic Center Redevelopment Project. GGLO and its subconsultants are expected to provide and lead for design purposes over the next two and a half years.
The council moved to approve the contract unanimously.
The second contract of the evening also involved the Civic Campus project. Because the Civic Campus project holds a great deal of importance to the city, the city staff strongly recommended utilizing project management/owners representation services. Buchanan argued that the project, from design to actual construction, was riddled with financial risk. This is a $4M dollar investment. "We need to be ensured that we're getting $4M of value from our $4M investment," said Buchanan. Buchanan recommended Hainline & Associates, Inc.
Deputy Mayor Elaine Cook moved for Buchanan to approve and implement this agreement. "I am going to appreciate over the next couple of years the representation so thank you for being here. Thank you for your services" commented Cook to Hainline & Associates, Inc.
The motion passed unanimously.

Hearings end in O'Donnell's $3.7m claim against Nakheel
Court hearings ended yesterday in a high-profile case in which one of Dubai's biggest former property executives is claiming about US$3.7 million (Dh13.5m) in severance pay and other benefits from his old employer.
Chris O'Donnell, the former chief executive of the property giant Nakheel, filed the case with the Dubai World Tribunal. Mr O'Donnell, who earned about Dh400,000 a month during a five-year tenure that ended in June, claims he is still due $3m in long-term incentive payments, plus interest and numerous other entitlements.
The hearings yesterday followed another on Monday during which Mr O'Donnell took the stand and was questioned by Nakheel's lawyers. Yesterday's proceedings mainly addressed questions of the tribunal's jurisdiction and the date on which Mr O'Donnell left Nakheel.
Nakheel has countered Mr O'Donnell's case principally by arguing the tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear it and that it should have been brought before the Ministry of Labour.
The company's lawyers have also said Mr O'Donnell's performance as chief executive was lacking, painting a picture in legal documents of a man who acted against the company's interests in breach of his duties.
Mr O'Donnell and his lawyers have denied those claims, saying he acted properly and that there was no dispute between him and Nakheel at the time he left.
The timing of Mr O'Donnell's departure became an issue because of a so-called "long-term incentive" payment that was contractually due to him at the end of five years in his position. A $1.5m payment was one of two he was set to receive, the other due at the end of four years of service.
Mr O'Donnell reportedly left Nakheel on about June 9 this year, but his contract expired a week later. Lawyers for Nakheel earlier presented arguments that he had "effectively" resigned before the end of his contract, thus relieving the company of the obligation to make his five-year incentive payment. But they conceded in the hearing yesterday that his contract had simply expired.
The case is being heard in the tribunal because Nakheel was formerly a subsidiary of Dubai World. The tribunal is a special court created to settle disputes with the government-owned conglomerate as it underwent a sweeping restructuring. Nakheel was separated from Dubai World in August, several months after Dubai World completed a $24.9 billion debt restructuring.
At the end of the hearing yesterday, the tribunal's three-judge panel said it expected to make a judgement in the case soon, but not before next year.

The best hair oil for shiny, healthy hair in no time
Your perfect match will make your hair look glossier than ever
Nothing gives hair a quick-fix moisture boost quite like the best hair oil, and we're here to help you find the perfect match for your hair type. The secret is knowing your ingredients.
Argan oil is an ingredient to watch out for when it comes to finding the best hair oils. It is rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E which makes it a hair hero for improving condition and texture. Argan oil is extremely expensive, though, so the most argan oil-rich products have quite a high price point.
Generally speaking, if you have very fine hair and are worried about weighing it with a heavy oil-based product, you might be better applying the oil before you wash your hair, rather than as a post-wash leave-in treatment.
Meanwhile those prone to greasy locks however should also avoid using oil-based products too close to the roots – just a tiny blob of oil applied evenly through the ends of hair should be enough to improve texture without weighing your locks down. And when you're done here, shop these Oscar-worthy hair oils on our Fabled store.
Best hair oil for growth
While there's not one magic oil that'll grow your hair overnight (we wish), certain oils encourage growth and repair by strengthening your hair to minimise breakage.
Castor oil for hair is rich in fatty omega 6, which it's thought encourage blood circulation near the scalp and promote hair growth. Coconut oil for hair is also rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, making it a great choice if you're trying to grow out a hated haircut.
Tip: As well as castor and coconut oil, stock up on the best shampoo for hair loss, too.
Best hair oil for dry hair
Latest Stories
If you've got dry or damaged hair, you should apply a light layer of hair oil over your locks after washing it with the best shampoo for your hair type, go easy on the heat treatments, and you should see an improvement in the condition of your tresses in no time.
Generally speaking, if you have coarse, damaged hair you may benefit from using your oil as an overnight treatment mask to deeply nourish your locks.
So without further ado, keep scrolling to see Marie Claire HQ's favourite hair oil picks.

Following on from the huge success of previous single "No Apology", which reached number 15 on the Billboard Dance Chart at the end of last year and was remixed by no fewer than 8 DJ's, BlissBliss are back and once again ready and raring to share their hypnotic sound and story-telling capabilities with the world via new track "I'm Coming Through", the video for which ThisIsTheLatest are delighted to premiere.
The duo, made up of Renee Bliss and Lang Bliss, have considerably varied tastes in music between them, but have successfully merged the many genres they like, including rock, pop, jazz and R&B, to create a sound that really is unique to who they are, both as individuals and as artists. Nowhere is this perhaps more apparent than on their new single; a second taster as to what fans can expect from their upcoming EP "3" which is out in November.
Asked about the video for "I'm Coming Through", the duo said:
"We're thrilled to be releasing our concept video for I'm Coming Through with This Is The Latest! It's a throwback to old spy movie motifs in the look and feel and the director captured so well, what we had written in the lyric. We recorded the music in one take with the guys in the recording session and they captured perfectly as well, what we had envisioned for it. We love the way it turned out in the recording as well as the video!"

Millionaire presenter Chris Evans said he phoned his elderly mother for advice on how to respond to tricky questions about his BBC salary, after it was revealed yesterday that he's the highest earner on the broadcaster's payroll.
The Radio 2 breakfast show and former Top Gear star said the 91-year-old former nurse told him to "earn what you can, when you can, while you can" during a telephone conversation in the wake of Wednesday's revelations on pay to top talent.
Documents setting out the pay for staff on more than £150,000-a-year showed a sizeable gap in the earnings of the corporation's most well-known male and female presenters and actors, with Evans topping the list on more than £2 million.
Meanwhile, the highest paid woman was Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman on between £450,000-£499,999.
Evans acknowledged the backlash - which has included criticism of the BBC by Theresa May - after conducting an almost breathless round-up of Thursday's newspapers, featuring headlines such as "Bloated Blokes Club" and "Awkward!".
If the whingers and whiners had it their way and all of these celebrities had massive pay cuts then they would all simply move to commercial TV and Radio leaving absolutely no one left at the BBC.
Evans said: "There's lots of news in the papers about lots of different things, but also there's quite a bit to say the least about the BBC, as you can imagine.
"Here's a question - what do you say when confronted with the question: are you embarrassed about what you earn? Are you ashamed of what you earn? How do you react to that question when all you're doing is coming to work every day like you have been for years to fulfil an agreed contract?
"Frankly, I had no idea what to say. I've been asked that question and so have many of my colleagues over the last 24 hours. I was asked that again this morning by a film crew as I ran into work.
"So here's what I did. I called my mum. She's 91, she's very wise, she was in the war, and I asked her what she thought.
"She said: 'Hang on a minute, love, let me just turn the telly down', she was watching Columbo on catch-up at the time, as she often is.
"She said: 'Tell them that your mum, who's a nurse for most of her life, always told you after your dad died to try to find a job you loved, just like I love nursing, and earn what you can, when you can, while you can - which you did almost straight away from when you were a paper boy earning £1.50 a week for freezing your bits off and falling off your bike every two minutes, right through until what you're doing now.
"'And tell them - if your bosses don't think you're worth it one day, they'll sort that out soon enough'."
Evans added: "So there you are - I'm going with what my mum said and that's it. I don't think you tune in to this show to hear us talk about these things but I had to say that this morning and had to be right and proper that I said that.
"I thank my mum [Minni Evans] for advice, as always, I live by her word and I will die by her word."
It came after his comments yesterday in which he boasted that he gets "paid more than the Prime Minister".
His gleeful comments came just hours before he was unmasked as the top earner at the BBC, something he said he welcomed.
"I think this is the beginning of [the gender pay gap] being redressed, I imagine," he told media outside Broadcasting House.
"I think the most important thing is that we're the ultimate public company and therefore I think that, on balance, it's probably right and proper that people know what
we get paid."
Figures showed the top 15 highest-paid stars contained 12 men – and just three women: Claudia Winkleman, Alex Jones and Fiona Bruce.

Katia + Gary | Ancient Spanish Monastery Wedding – Miami, FL
This was the absolutely sweetest day ever for the sweetest couple! We started with the Katia's getting ready at the W Fort Lauderdale. The room was flooded with amazingly delicious natural light and all the blue accents of the room played off beautifully to the blue scheme the bride chose for her wedding day.
After the girls were all done getting ready we drove down to The Ancient Spanish Monestary in Miami where the ceremony was held. The officiant, who happen to be the groom's mother, delivered a sweet and heartfelt ceremony. The gardens at the Monastery made for an amazingly gorgeous backdrop for the day, groomsmen shenanigans and flower girl napping and all!
After some fun bridal portraits, we then headed to the groom's parent's home in Plantation Acres where they had a flawless setup reception space in their backyard (I LOVE backyard weddings!) where they partied the night away.
Katia and Gary, thank you so much for allowing me to capture the first day of your life together!

Days spent at sea are not deducted from one's alloted span...
(Phoenician proverb)
I have tried to keep a list of things Tim asks to show/claims there is no source for, but still have been shown here, often by himself:
-TLI lasted 6 minutes: in his own log link but he claims it ends after 1 minute
-Orbital corrections during TLI: in his own log link but he claims it ends after 1 minute
-Correct angle through the VABs: in his own links but he ignores them
-Corrected drawings: countless times by everyone in this thread but he ignores them
-BAUT calculations on radiation doses: he ignores them, claims to have never seen them, even when he has replied-with-quote to them
I know the list is incomplete, for example the whole wrong radiation dose during Apollo based on a number calculated from...radiation doses during Apollo.
The point I'm making is: failing to understand is one thing, but these 29 pages here have nothing to do with failing to understand. It is well documented ignoring for whatever reason.

TimFinch, Direct Question: does an orbit require continuous thrust?
(Just to head off an expected waffle, I mean hypothetical orbit in vacuum; don't bother fishing for station-keeping thrusters and all that rot, this is specifically about whether a rocket has to fire every few seconds or go flying off into space).
TimFinch is gone for the next two weeks (or longer) so he won't be answering questions soon.
I'm going to close this thread, but if he returns and wants to continue his claims, he will have to answer all these questions.

Hello, once again. I still need $300 to get my commercial driver's license insurance reinstated. Also I'm still waiting in the CMHA line
I was in the flats around 9 p.m. distributing the Grapevine when all of the sudden a man came towards me. I thought he was coming to get a copy, but instead he grabbed me around the collar and choked me to the sidewalk. There were plenty of witnesses. He had no reason to do it, but he did.
He said to leave his customers alone. I said that I was at least 300 feet from his establishment. The club owner said, "You are the scum of the earth." Once again, prejudice against homeless people. We got into a heated argument. The police came, and did not consider my side of the story. There was a woman with the club owner who said she was a police lieutenant who told the police the story. They believed everything that she said.
In another incident, my friend and I were distributing the Grapevine near the St. Vincent Hospital when once again, all of a sudden a security officer twisted my arm around my back and put me up against a fence. Personally speaking, this guy treated me fairly, but the manager of the business was brutal and derogatory.
He tried to beat my friend up, and went off on me when I was trying to explain to him that all we were doing was spreading the word. The point that I'm trying to make is, "Stop this prejudice! Try to understand and help us get out of this bad situation." Like I always say, I hope to be writing a happier and more pleasant article next time. I can be reached at 344-1580. Thank you for reading our paper, and God bless you.

weddings are magical / joyful / exciting / emotional & full of special moments. the Osborn wedding was absolutely all of those things & more. good food / great friends / live music / two people making a promise....all the ingredients for a beautiful wedding.
the place – Red Bluff Inn.
the day – June 17, 2017.
the couple – Bree & Jessie (Oz).
although the day turned out to be one of the hottest of the year, you'd be hard-pressed to hear any complaints from the bride+groom. the two simply smiled, laughed & enjoyed preparing to commit themselves to each other in front of family & friends. bree's dog, Blue, roamed the property & occasionally took a dip in the lake to cool off. meanwhile, friends & family set up tents & campfires for the post-wedding retreat. the ceremony was intimate & reflected the couple's love and values perfectly. one of the most memorable moments of the ceremony was when the couple & bree's son potted plants together as a symbol of the family becoming one. (insert all the feels!)
as the day came to an end, the air was filled with music & laughter as everyone danced the night away and made their way to the tents. basically….it was a dream. cheers to the lovely couple & may their marriage be full of as much joy & love as their wedding day.

BOSTON (CBS.MW) -- Biotechnology stocks edged higher Wednesday, with shares of Genentech hitting a three-year high amid hopes for an earlier-than-expected approval of the company's cancer therapy Avastin.
The Amex Biotechnology Index BTK, -3.85% moved up 0.4 percent to 471.30, and the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index NBI, +4.14% rose 0.9 percent to 700.28.
Shares of Genentech DNA, -0.19%, the world's second-largest biotechnology firm, rose $1.85, or 2.1 percent, to $91.20, after earlier hitting $91.27, a level not seen since late 2000.
Genentech shares have been buoyed for months by hopes for Avastin. Since the beginning of 2003, Genentech shares have soared 175 percent, largely because of optimism about the experimental compound's cancer-fighting potential.
The Food and Drug Administration is currently evaluating Genentech's application to market Avastin as a colon-cancer therapy.
The agency has until late March to decide on the Avastin application, but analyst Bill Tanner at Leerink Swann said he expects the FDA's OK to come well before the deadline.
"We believe FDA approval of Avastin for treating colorectal cancer could occur over the relatively near term," Tanner wrote in a note to clients Wednesday.
Among other biotech bellwethers, shares of No. 1 biotechnology firm Amgen AMGN, +1.07% climbed $1.77, or 2.9 percent, to $62.15, while shares of Genzyme GENZ dipped 8 cents to $47.25.
In the pharmaceutical sector, GlaxoSmithKline GSK, the world's No. 2 pharmaceutical company, said it had entered into a research collaboration with Paris-based Institut Pasteur to develop a vaccine for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. The first objective of the effort will be to develop tools to test the potential effectiveness of a SARS vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline said. U.S.-listed shares of U.K.-based GlaxoSmithKline edged up 18 cents to $45.41.
Elsewhere, shares of Barr Labs BRL rose $1.26 to $74.21. A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel late Tuesday endorsed a controversial request from Barr and privately held Women's Capital to do away with prescriptions for an emergency contraceptive, marketed as Plan B and commonly known as the morning-after pill. See full story.
The Amex Pharmaceutical Index $DRG dipped 0.1 percent to 325.29.

The National Investment Bank (NIB) is aiming at raising its branches to 64 by 2017 to help serve more businesses and create convenience for customers. It currently has 42 branches with plans to add 22 new ones within the next two years.
The bank's Managing Director, Mr Ernest Mawuli Agbesi, disclosed this when the bank opened its 42nd branch at Mampong in the Ashanti Region.
He said the opening of the new branch was part of an aggressive expansion in the bank's operations to help meet the aspirations of customers.
Expansions so far
Last year, NIB opened branches at Ashaiman, Asokwa, Hohoe, Accra, Airport, Parliament House and the Law Court Complex. New ones were also opened in Swedru, Nkwanta, Sawla, Tamale UDS and Mallam.
The MD said the aggressive branch expansion last year was in line with a corporate commitment to help turn the bank's fortunes around.
Impressive performance
True to his word, the bank has since chalked up a number of successes, including the payment of dividend to shareholders for the first time in 12 years at its 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held last year.
That was the result of an impressive profit after tax of GH¢79.39 million the bank recorded in 2014. The 2014 profit was 106 per cent over the ¢38.52 million profit grossed in 2013.
"Our commitment to growth and complete turnaround as promised two years ago is on course. This has been shown in our sterling performance in 2015 despite the industry challenges," he said.
Looking ahead, he said the bank was laying emphasis on improving its risk management, credit delivery, work ethics as well as productivity to enhance its operations and corporate image.
